Preliminary Plat – A Preliminary Plat for the property legally described as a platting of part of the NW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 34, T14N, R12E of the 6th P.M., Sarpy County, NE, generally located on the SE corner of 90th Street and Gruenther Street. The applicant is James Williams (Overland Hills Baptist Church). (Overland Hills Point) PP-17-0009 Douglas Dreessen, 10836 Old Mill Road (Omaha), stepped forward to represent the applicant. Mr. Dreessen presented an image of the site plan, and explained that Overland Hills Baptist Church is proposing an addition to the south and additional parking to the south and east of the existing building. Chairwoman Hoch called for proponents and opponents. Robert Feltus, 909 Knapp Drive, stepped forward to ask whether studies have been completed to contemplate drainage and runoff at the site. Mr. Feltus noted that the city owned park to the south of Trumble Park Elementary already suffers from issues regarding runoff from nearby sites. 3 Planning Commission August 30, 2017 Gary France, 909 S Fillmore Street, stepped forward to express concerns about traffic in the area. He noted that additional infrastructure is needed to support the surplus traffic on S 90th Street and Gruenther Street. Mr. France expressed that these streets are already in bad condition, and do not have curb and gutter. He stressed the need for Valley Road to continue through to S 90th Street to help alleviate traffic in the area around Trumble Park Elementary. Seeing no further public input, Chairwoman Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion. Mr. Carson asked whether the proposed Papillion Commons development to the south of Overland Hills Church would assist in paving Valley Road through to 90th Street. Mr. Stursma noted that the City and adjacent developers are working toward a solution. He noted that Overland Hills Point will dedicate half of the right-of-way needed to extend Valley Road, and that Papillion Commons would dedicate the other half. He summarized that the necessary right-of way will be granted to construct Valley Road when both plats have been finalized. Mr. Stursma articulated that the City is still working to find an equitable way to fund the construction of Valley Road. Mr. Carson offered his support of the project. Mr. Masters asked Mr. Dreessen to clarify why Overland Hills Church needs the expansion. Mr. Dreessen expressed that the church intends to expand the sanctuary to accommodate a larger congregation. He also expressed that the church may propose an addition to the east at a later time. Mr. Masters asked whether the church has provided any projections regarding expected congregational growth. Mr. Dreessen noted that he did not have this information; however, he was confident that the added parking would be adequate to support the growing congregation. Mr. Masters asked whether the City has a plan to improve traffic in the area. Mr. Stursma reiterated that there would be dedication of right-of-way for Valley Road, and added that there will also be dedication of right-of-way to S 90th Street with this plat. He noted that the City has also placed the improvement of S 90th Street in the One and Six Year Road Plan so it has the ability to plan and secure funds for the necessary improvements. He also noted that the Papillion Commons project to the south may assist in moving up the timeline to improve S 90th Street. Mr. Keller asked staff to address stormwater management at the site. Derek Goff noted that stormwater runoff for the addition would be addressed up front with this project. He advised that there is a proposed basin in the southeast corner of the property. He reported that the development is required to meet the predevelopment runoff at the site. Mr. Goff suggested that the development of this project may improve runoff at the site. Ms. Sotak asked whether the additional parking would be concrete or gravel. Mr. Dreessen confirmed that all of the new parking would be concrete, and perhaps the current gravel parking would be improved to concrete. Ms. Sotak noted that the applicant should consider the impacts of the gravel parking in regards to dust, debris, and etc. for the neighboring properties. With no further discussion, Motion was made by Mr. Keller, seconded by Ms. Sunde, to recommend approval of the Overland Hills Point Preliminary Plat (PP-17-0009) because it is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, compatible with adjacent uses, and 4 Planning Commission August 30, 2017 compliant with the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Regulations, contingent upon the resolution of staff comments. Roll Call: Eight yeas, no nays. Motion carried. Change of Zone – A Change of Zone from Agricultural (AG) to Urban Family Residential (R-3) for the property legally described as a platting of part of the NW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 34, T14N, R12E of the 6th P.M., Sarpy County, NE, generally located on the SE corner of 90th Street and Gruenther Street. The applicant is James Williams (Overland Hills Baptist Church). (Overland Hills Point) CZ-17-0012 Douglas Dreessen, 10836 Old Mill Road (Omaha), stepped forward to represent the applicant. He pointed out that the senior pastor for Overland Hills Baptist Church was available to answer any operational questions. Chairwoman Hoch called for proponents and opponents. Seeing no further public input, Chairwoman Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion. Mr. Keller asked staff why the Final Plat was being proposed to the Commission on the same night as the Preliminary Plat and Change of Zone. Ms. Romeo explained that this application was somewhat unique in that the property is already developed and merely needs to establish lot lines and dedicate the appropriate right-of-way. She clarified that because the changes proposed are so minor staff is comfortable with presenting all three applications to the Planning Commission together. With no further discussion, Motion was made by Mr. Carson, seconded by Mr. Keller, to recommend approval of the Overland Hills Point Change of Zone (CZ-17-0012) from AG (Agricultural) to Urban Family Residential (R-3) because it is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, compatible with adjacent uses, and compliant with the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Regulations, contingent upon the resolution of staff comments.

The applicant is Founder’s Ridge, LLC. (Founder’s Ridge) PP-17-0010 John Fullenkamp, 11440 W. Center Road (Omaha), stepped forward to represent the applicant. He noted that Denny Van Moorleghem, Doug Dreessen, Andrew Koster, Mark Johnson, and Julie Masters were also present. Mr. Fullenkamp presented an aerial and noted the project location. He remarked that the first phase of the project is proposed to develop as 142 single- family lots, with 59 single-family lots proposed in the second phase. He expressed that the final phase(s) will include a mixed use development. He confirmed that the project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the area. Mr. Fullenkamp mentioned that the project is proposed to encompass about 110 acres, with approximately ten percent of that land being dedicated to open or green space. He communicated that a trail system is proposed that would connect to the existing trail system in the Ashbury Farm subdivision to the east. 5 Planning Commission August 30, 2017 Mr. Fullenkamp noted that the applicant has met with the landowners to the west, Julie and Sky Masters, to discuss the complications that may exist with the sewer line that will serve the property. He assured the Commission that the applicant intends to continue working with the landowners to find a location for the sewer that is acceptable to all parties involved. Jim Masters noted for the record that he is of no known relation to the property owners to the west, RSM Farms, LLC, and will not personally benefit from this project in any way. Chairwoman Hoch called for proponents and opponents. Doug Halverson, 2111 S 67th Street (Omaha), stepped forward to represent Julie and Sky Masters who own the property to the west of this project. He suggested that his clients are not necessarily opposed to the project; however, the Masters were only made aware of the project one week prior to this public hearing. Mr. Halverson agreed that the Masters family is willing to work with the applicant. Seeing no further public input, Chairwoman Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion. Mr. Carson asked about the estimated selling price of the homes within this development. Mr. Fullenkamp conveyed that the estimated selling price would likely be around $375,000. Mr. Carson noted that the home valuations in Ashbury Farm to the east and Westmont to the west of this development are drastically different from those proposed at Founder’s Ridge. Mr. Fullenkamp and Ms. Romeo pointed out that Ashbury Farm already neighbors a subdivision (Ashbury Creek) with valuations close to the projected price point in Founder’s Ridge. Mr. Barker observed that the Masters need more time to review this project prior to approval, and asked for a projected timeline for approvals. Mr. Fulenkamp noted that the process from preliminary plat application to final plat approval generally takes at least one year; therefore, the Masters family should have ample time to review and provide input on the project. He also reiterated that the applicant intends to make every effort to resolve any issues that the Masters family may have in regards to the sewer. Mr. Halverson confirmed that the Masters family is aware of the process. Mr. Carson noted that the North Shore Commercial project to the north experienced some difficulties in regards to sewer connection, and asked whether this project may experience the same issues. Mr. Goff reported that the sewer connection that was established for North Shore Commercial will allow for a connection to continue that outfall. Mr. Carson offered his support to the project. With no further discussion, Motion was made by Mr. Carson, seconded by Mr. Barker, to recommend approval of the Founder’s Ridge Preliminary Plat (PP-17-0010) because it is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as proposed to be amended, compatible with adjacent uses, and compliant with the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Regulations, contingent upon the resolution of staff comments.
