expressed concern that a large building on small lot will block view of smaller existing businesses.
He noted concern about the increase with traffic since the use will be located next to a busy
Starbucks. He also expressed concern for the environment as to where the oil would be disposed.
Mr. Brian Boganowski, 10820 s 204h Ave circle (Gretna), stepped foruvard as a business owner
at Monarch Place. He expressed concern about increased traffic at an already busy area due lo
starbucks location next door and suggested a traffic study be performed. He suggested this
location should become an overflow parking lot for Starbucks or be a drivethrough ATM.
Seeing no further input, Vice Chair Carson closed the public hearing and called for Commission
Discussion.
Mr. Robinson lllasked for information on traffic and runoff. Mr. Robinson also confirmed how busy
Starbucks can get on weekends. Mr. Dreessen stated no traffic study has been done but Mr.
Boganowski's concerns are understandable based on his experience at Starbucks in Omaha. He
indicated a willingness to confirm that the Take s oil change will have adequate parking. Mr.
Dreessen asserted that is not valid to deny Take 5 oil change a special use permit due to
Starbucks using that lot as parking. He also mentioned thal traffic issues are not uncommon at
businesses like Costco and Starbucks.
Mr. Hrabik asked if there is a site plan with more detail. Mr. Dreessen stated the drawing included
in the packet is the only one there is.
Mr. Hrabik asked if rake 5's parking will be on the west side with adequate parking. Mr. Dreessen

change business so parking would not be an issue.

would need more detail. She stated she will not be able to vote until more details have been
provided including a traffic study.

Preliminarv Plat - A request for a Preliminary Plat for the property legally described as a tract of
land located in the SE lq of the SW % of Section 36, T14N, Rl2E of the 6th p.M., Sarpy County,
generally located NW of 66th street and schram Road. 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 noted the location of project and advised that 66th Street does not currently exist at
this location but is a part of this project and will connect with HWY 370. 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.

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.

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.

Cheryl Krupski, 632 Bailey Circle (Papillion) stated that she had sent an e-mait regarding this
project as her house backs up to most northern lot. Ms. Krupski expressed concerns with many
trailers in a small space, and that the mobile home park is not being well maintained. She noted
that she has called and was informed the tenants were asked to maintain their mobile home. Ms.
Krupski explained that one neighbor is elderly and disabled and is unable to maintain her mobile
home. She asserted that the neighborhood she lives in has covenants which are to be followed.
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. She questioned if the project would have more green space and if the trailers would be uniform
and moved further apart as it is currenfly a fire hazard.
Tom Krupski, 632 Bailey cir (Papillion) concured with Mrs. Krupski. 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.
Patty Longcrier, 631 Bailey Cir (Papillion) stated she has put a lot of work into her house, including
a retaining wall. she asserted that several times there have been people in her backyard, and
she has also heard gunshots and fireworks from the mobile home park. 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.

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.
Mr. white stated that each resident mows their own yard, and if they are not complying a notice
will be left. 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. She also stated the Police should be contacted if there are gunshots or
flreworks.
Mr. Thompson expressed hope that the new owner will act now, and that it will not take another
12 - 18 months.

Beadle Street, N osage street, and E 3d street. Mr. Engberg provided an overview of the history
of the proposal to extend N Beadle Street, N osage street, and E 3d street. He asserted that
these dead-end streets were not originally planned to be extended. Mr. Engberg noted his
concerns about the impact of the street extensions to the residents in the area. He expressed
support for the residents' petition objecting to the street extensions. He explained that a traffic
study and input from the Fire and Police Departments showed the extensions would provide
minimal beneflt and would not substantially improve the Fire and police response time. He
suggested the cost of this improvement would be better spent on other priorities such as updating
City Park. He also noted, in reference to the previous agenda item, that City Council is working
on a property maintenance code.
