The applicant is Spruce capital Group, LLC. (Tighe Farm) PP-22-0003 Vice Chair Carson opened the public hearing. Larry Jobeun, 11440 w center Rd (omaha), stepped forward to represent the applicant. Mr. Jobeun noted that his presentation would address both the Preliminary Plat and Change of Zone requests.

He stated there are four lots with Lots '1, 2, and 4 for residential uses and zoned as R-4 and Lot 3 is for commercial use and zoned CC Community Commercial. He explained the proposed subdivision is 39.9 acres with a '100' easement for OPPD that goes diagonal through the entire lot. Mr. Jobeun advised the proposal offers a mix of cottages, direct access units and townhomes, which is consistent with the Future Land Use map. He stated that all the streets internally will be private streets; however, Towne Center Parkway will be a public street. He explained that Schram Road will be extended to 66th Street which will be extended to HWY 370 and signal modifications will be needed on the south side of H\IVY 370. Mr. Jobeun stated the apartments will not be the standard three-story buildings, but instead they will be two story buildings. He stated it is unique plan for the city. Mr. Jobeun asserted that the development will be nicely done as he showed examples of buildings for this project. Vice Chair Carson called for proponents and opponents. Eric and Joni Parks, 11515 s 72nd street, stepped fonrvard as residents direc y to the west. Mr. Parks expressed concem that Towne Center Parkway will run through their home and outbuilding. He noted that their home is not an old farmstead, instead they have recently remodeled it and have no plans to sell. Mr. Parks also expressed concern about the development process due to the fact there is a current development just to their south that is creating lots of dirt and garbage. He asserted that the high density of project will result in a significant increase of traffic. Marty Giff wilh Giff Property se rvices, 2211 Thurston cir (Bellevue), stepped fonrard as Eric and Joni Parks representative. Mr. Giff stated the City Ordinance considers 12+ units per acre as high density, and this has 17 units per acre which he believes is extreme. Mr. Giff states that the plan looks great on a flat piece of paper, but with the elevation changes on property will make the extension of Towne Center Parkway very difficult. He also stated that the Parks needed to redo their driveway due to the elevation changes. Mr. Giff also stated that the proposed buffer is 15 20' and he sees no reason for that to be granted. He expressed concern that the proposed - apartment building will be 50'high and the tenants will be able to took down on to the parks, property. 5 Planning Commission November 16, 2022 Mr. Terry Tighe, 14102 S 108th Sheet (Springfield) noted that he owns the property directly to the east. He questioned why this project is recommended for approval when others with similar proposed ideas were denied. He stated there are some fragile wetlands on that property that needed to be considered. He also stated that S 66th Street will run right through his property, and he will lose part of it. Mr. Marvin Leaders, 1390'1 Schram Road (Omaha) questioned whether the right-of-way for S 66th Street will be required from his property to the east and how his property would be impacted. Seeing no further input, Vice Chair Carson closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion. Mr. Hrabik expressed his concerns with high density residential projects being approved in the past with very little access and egress. Ms. Sotak concurred that the high density residential use is a valid concern. She addressed past projects that had been approved with not enough parking. She suggested that the number of the units be reduced and that more parking be added. Vice Chair Carson asked for Mr. Jobeun to answer the questions regarding right-of-way and the financing. Mr. Jobeun stated the righlof-way will be required with this development from the adjacent properties. He noted that future developments will pay toward the cost per standard practice. He stated that the signal modifications at S 66th Street and HWY 370 will be made. He advocated that the proposed development complies with the City's future land map use and is not out of the ordinary. He suggested that the public road improvements would not be financially feasible without the high density residential development. Mr. Jobeun stated that High Density Residential projects are necessary in order for Papillion to have different housing opportunities. He also stated that Towne Center Parkway will not go through the Parks' residence unless they decide to have that land developed. Mr. Hrabik asked if there will be an exit lane off HWY 370 when headed eastbound. Mr. Jobeun stated that there will be a dedicated right turn lane. He noted that Schram Road, Towne Center Parkway and 66th Street will all be designed to carry a lot of traffic. Conventional residential projects differ from commercial and retail projects since they do not have the high traffic times in the A.M. and P.M. Vice Chair Carson asked about the alignment of a future Towne Center Parkway extension. Mr. Jobeun reiterated that Towne Center Parkway will not be constructed if the Parks' never move. He also stated that this is a challenging site due to the 100'easement for OPPD, and with the grade changes and the sanitary sewer outfall needs to be installed. He stated that the high density residential project can fiscally support these high cost improvements. Vice Chair Carson stated that the contingency list is long and asked Mr. Jobeun if his client accepts the contingencies. Mr. Jobeun stated that they were happy to see that list of contingencies was not long. He noted that his client will work with staff. 6 Planning Commission November 16, 2022 Ms. Bernady asked the properties are going to be rental or owned. Mr. Jobeun stated that they will all be owned by the developer and leased to the tenants. Mr. Hrabik asserted that he is seeing more high density residential projects than new single family home projects. He expressed concern that there will be too many apartment buildings. Vice Chair Carson agreed with Mr. Hrabik concerns. He noted that staff has assured that there are not too many yet, but stated he is seeing a lot of apartments around town. He asked staff why Towne Center Parkway was not drawn to go south ofthe Parks' residence. Mr. Gibbons explained the City's policy for arterial road spacing requirements. He noted that S 66th Street is an arterial, so the location of rowne center Parkway needs to comply with the spacing requirements for a full access turn movement. He acknowledged that Towne Center Parkway will not go through the Parks' property until it is redeveloped. He noted that west access will be provided via Schram Road. Mr. Gibbons noted that the alignment of rowne center parkway through the parks' property could be adjusted should that property ever be redeveloped. He clarified thatthe Future Land Use map was developed through a public process that included charettes and reviewed by Planning commission before being approved by city council. He reviewed how the density patterns were established during that process. Mr. Gibbons identified the future land use for the proposed project as high density residential and commercial use. He noted that the future land use was determined based on the supporting street network of Schram Road (a collector) and S 66th Street (an arterial) that connect to a state highway. He explained why high density residential uses are placed along arterial streets and why density drops moving away from the arterial system. He noted that high density residential uses are to exceed a density of 12 units per acre. He also noted that 17 units per acre for the proposed development is consistent with high density residential and lower than typical 20 units per acre for existing development in papillion. Mr. Hrabik asked why the buffer with the Parks'property was reduced by soo/o. Mr. Gibbons explained how landscape buffer requirements are determined. He noted that the future land use designation for the Parks' property is high density residential and commercial. He indicated that a landscape buffer would not be required should the property be redeveloped in the future. He explained how staff made a recommendation balanced the current use (and the distance between the buildings) with the future land use. Mr. Keller expressed his concern with the dirt and garbage that comes along with the project and how that is being handled. Mr. Kleffner stated there are weekly inspections and if there are any complaints they will go out and investigate. He also stated that this summer was unusually dry which make the construction site dustier, but they will typically contact the developer and ask them to water more. Mr. Keller asked if the resident would call the City if it gets too dusty and if the development would pay for the cleanup. Mr. Kleffner stated that the resident can call the City if the dust gets out of hand, and he would speak with the project's engineer about increasing the watering of site. lf they were repetitive that would then become a civil matter. 7 Planning Commission November 16,2022 with no further discussion, Motion was made by Mr. Robinson lll, seconded by Ms. Bernady, to recommend approval of the Tighe Farm preliminary plat (pp-22-0003).

She stated the previous owner of the park would maintain it, but the new owner is not maintaining the mobile home park. She asserted there has been vandalism and nothing is being done about it.

He stated he was close friends with the previous owner and helped by maintaining the area by his fence; however, this is not the case anymore. He asserted that he hears gunshots and fireworks from the mobile home park on a regular basis. He stated that these issues made them feel the need to put a lock on their fence and add a notice stating they have dogs. He understands we need affordable housing but questioned whether this is the correct direction.

She stated the previous owner maintained the mobile home park, and the trailer right behind her house is abandoned and nobody is taking care of either. She expressed concern about the number of trailers will be put added because it will mean more people hanging out in her backyard. She explained she had a "No Trespassing" sign on her gate to no avail. She also asserted that her gate has been broken that she now must repair it. Seeing no further input, Vice Chair Carson closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion. Mr. Hrabik stated that he has a recreational vehicle, and his neighborhood has strict covenants as to where it can be parked. He asserted that the mobile home park's rules and regulations is not up to par, and he expressed concern about the mobire home park's maintenance. Vice Chair Carson asked the question as to who owns the trailers. Mr. Beller stated that the new owner will clean up the park, and that there are several improvements going to be made, but it takes a long time to get the plans prepared for approval. He explained the current park was grandfathered and had no standards. Mr. Beller stated that once the approval has been completed, the project will be complete within one to two years. He stated the zoning will be rezoned to MH Mobile Home Residential instead of the current Ll Limited lndustrial which will allow for the development to proceed as they intend. Vice chair carson asked if the tenant owns the mobile home, but the landowner owns the land. Mr. Beller stated that is correct. I Planning Commission November 16, 2022 vice chair carson asked who's responsible for mowing the yard. Mr. Beller stated that the property owner will be doing all the landscaping and yardwork. Ms. Sotak asked when the new owner took ownership. Mr. Beller stated that was about 18 months ago. Ms. sotak asked who has been responsible for the maintenance during that time. Ms. sotak expressed concern about the fact that no maintenance has been done. Mr. Beller explained that he would need to consult his client about maintenance practices. He indicated that he would make his client aware of the maintenance concerns. Ms. Sotak stated that the new owner should be responsible for maintaining the mobile home park and that rules and regulations should be in place. Mr. Beller stated he will speak with the owner. Mr. Hrabik asked if there will be regulations about deteriorating mobile homes. Mr. Beller stated that regulations will be more stringent with the new leases. Ms. Carla Heathershaw Risko stated that the mobile home park document in the packet is a state statute. Don white, 910 w 6th st (Papillion), stepped forward as the mobile home park's property manager.

He agreed with the residents about the weeds on the north end and stated a tree companywas renting an outbuilding butwas asked to leave due to too much debris. He explained that he will clean this all up and be more proactive going fonrvard. Mr. White asserted that the gunshots and fireworks are not coming from the mobile home park, instead they are coming from the industrial park to the east. He advised that the new lease is 13 pages long because the new owner is committed to make the mobile home park pleasant. Vice Chair Carson asked if all the outbuildings will be removed. Mr. Braun stated that they will and along with that they will extend the fire infrastructure. Vice Chair Carson asked if the current drive into the park will stay the same. Mr. Braun stated that yes it will, along with the additional entry from N Frontier Drive. Mr. Keller stated that he understands the frustration of the neighboring residents. He also asked what the residents can legally do if the mobile home park is not properly maintained. Ms. carla Heathershaw Risko stated she is not familiar with the state statute provided by Mrs. Krupski and that she would need to review it to properly advise the Commission. She suggested that failing to maintain the mobile home park is most likely a civil claim and that the tenant would contact the Iandlord. she noted that the city has ordinances for nuisances, trash, weeds, automobiles which could be violations.
