Thank you so much mayor furter I think this is your proclamation All right, thank you for that was a great uh Great moment We have some other ceremonial items tonight and first Is a proclamation honoring the Durham senior hunger awareness week And I'm going to ask Patricia james who is founder and president to please come forward And anyone else that you would like to bring with you who is here to celebrate this If you could please come forward and also I'm going to ask councilmember charlie reese if he would do the honors with his proclamation Okay, I'm sorry. It looks like gale adland and others are here to To accept this proclamation Good evening everyone. Um, I'm going to read the proclamation Um on senior hunger hunger awareness week and then we'll have some folks come up and talk a little bit about why that's important Whereas approximately 10 million older adults nationwide or one in six Face the threat of food insecurity North carolina's senior hunger rate ranked second worst in the nation at an estimated one in every five seniors And whereas Durham county social services estimates that of the 60 000 Durham county residents aged 60 or older 12,600 are at risk of food insecurity due to living at or below 199 of the federal poverty level And whereas up to 50 of older adults nationwide may be malnourished An estimated one third of older adults admitted to hospitals may be malnourished and thus subject to longer hospital stays And more health complications than those with adequate nutrition And whereas food insecurity is associated with poorer chronic disease management and decreased health related quality of life The food insecure seniors being 50 more likely to have diabetes Three times more likely to suffer from depression 60 more likely to have congestive heart failure or heart attack and twice as likely to report gum disease and asthma And whereas food insecure seniors have increased likelihood of entering health care facilities convalescent homes assisted living Or may be forced to move in with relatives and receive inadequate care Which eventually leads to higher health care costs as chronic conditions worsen When remaining untreated and whereas Durham's partnership for seniors through the committee on senior food and nutrition Is working in conjunction with end hunger Durham to create awareness of and solutions to senior hunger in Durham Through building partnerships among governmental departments nonprofits medical and educational institutions religious institutions And community volunteers now therefore i steven m shule mayor the city of Durham, no carolina do hereby proclaim September 22nd through the 28th 2019 as Durham senior hunger awareness week in Durham And hereby acknowledge that senior hunger in Durham is a problem that needs to be addressed Through community-wide awareness and action Witness my hand in the corporate seal the city of Durham north carolina the 16th day of september 2019 Good evening I'm gail adlin. I'm the director of meals on wheels of Durham here with betsy crates from end hugger Durham and a group of Other people who are part of this Senior hunger awareness week So as as charlie read the um, this is a huge issue nationally The average life expectancy in the united states is at a record high of over 79 years As we get older even the most independent among us may experience physical difficulties or financial hardships That strip away our independence We add that to an increase in geographic mobility among our families And the result is that millions of seniors nationally are left behind hungry and alone As was in the proclamation north carolina is one of the worst states in the nation for senior hunger There's only one state where there are more seniors Are more at risk for hunger than north carolina and in Durham alone over 12,600 seniors are at risk of hunger Based on income alone so our elderly neighbors Maybe some people that you know and maybe some people in this room Are making decisions on a daily basis about whether to purchase medicine or food Whether to keep the lights on or to eat A good question to ask is what can you each individually do about this As with most social issues there are three main options to think of one is to advocate If you look at the end hunger Durham website, you can find ideas on advocacy Make sure you ask your representatives whenever you get the chance what they're doing to alleviate senior hunger We're going to have a table at the farmers market on saturday the 21st and on saturday the 28th So come see us there and we'll give you more things to think about You can volunteer you can help nonprofits whose focus is senior hunger. You can help pack food You can help sort produce you can help deliver meals And thirdly you can donate find an organization whose work resonates with you and support them financially You can hold a food drive. You can go gleaning. You can just do anything to work on this issue Just remember as with most issues no individual person and no individual organization can solve this issue alone Which is why all of our organizations are working together because together we're very much stronger than we are alone So thank you for helping us bring attention to this issue Joe you want to take a picture? Yeah, I'm probably not going to work Thank you Right our next proclamation is also regarding hunger hunger free Durham month And i'm going to ask councilmember Reese if he would also do the honors on this proclamation And to receive it i'm going to call up jim keaton director of Durham public schools nutrition services and sky harris Program quarter coordinator for Durham public schools nutrition services and anyone else that you might like to bring up with you Before as they come up. I do want to say one thing about their work this summer The city was fortunate enough through the national league of cities to receive a grant From for a program called champs which was to increase The number of children that we were able to feed in the summer both breakfast meals and lunch meals and we We I didn't do anything except cheer them on but i'll say we as a community knocked it out of the park We're going to Meet a little bit later tonight one of our champions for this but um We served I believe 22,000 more breakfasts and 20,000 more lunches Then we had the summer before and it was because of these good people And the work that they did and i'm just very very very uh, want to say that before charlie reeds, but we're very I think I remember how this works And I read the proclamation and then we're going to have the folks who actually do this work come tell you a little bit about what they're working on Whereas one in seven north carolina residents face food insecurity with many families not knowing where their next meal will come from Whereas children are at a higher risk of hunger and a hungry child cannot grow or learn 19.6 of durham county children face food insecurity And federal nutrition programs play a pivotal role in reducing childhood hunger and fostering children's development And whereas the summer food service program the school breakfast and national school lunch programs The child and adult care food program at risk after school supper and snack program The supplemental nutrition assistance program or SNAP And special supplemental nutrition program for women infants and children or wick All provide important nutrition for children and families throughout our city And whereas by increasing participation in the aforementioned federal nutrition programs Through community outreach partnership and collaboration the city of durham can increase access to healthy meals And whereas durham is committed to making sure no child adult or senior Goes hunger year-round through the creation of feeding durham's champs And whereas durham has a strong network of meal providers faith-based and community organizations Schools volunteers working with feeding durham's champs in the fight against hunger in our community Now therefore I steven m. Shule mayor the city of durma, carolina do hereby proclaim september 2019 As hunger-free durham month in durham And hereby acknowledge the reality of food insecurity and the need for involvement in the movement to end childhood hunger in durham Witness my hand in the corporate seal the city of durham, north carolina the 16th day of september 2019 So thank you I don't want to take a lot of your time But I do want to thank the mayor and the city council and tom bonfield the city manager as well The national league of cities grant provided 128 500 dollars to the city of durham in order to help fight childhood hunger And we use that grant money to look at four different focuses One was increase in breakfast participation in our schools Because we were only serving about 20 to 25 of our kids and we need to feed more of them You can't go to school if you're hungry So we have free breakfast in every school in durham public schools now So every child can eat for free no applications no statuses no stigmas A second part of that was increasing the summer meals participation And we were able to bring in from last year. We had 96 sites this year We had 117 we increased sites we increased participation and we were able to feed more hungry children The third part was offering meals during spring break. We started that last april We had success at the north durham regional library and oxford manor and we want to grow that program this coming spring break And the other exciting part was getting the chance to serve meals For dinner and they're called at risk dinner meals, which is not sound good. Nobody wants to be at risk So we call it the super snack attack meal and we've started serving those meals at Burton elementary spring valley elementary this week We started at favel street elementary shepherd middle school And we're going to be rolling out into more schools in the next few months So we're really excited that this grant has given us that opportunity to make these changes and to feed the hungry children of durham And we thank the mayor the city council and tom bonfield for that opportunity Thank you Thank you, thank you Thank you I want to give a as these folks are Leaving the podium. I also want to give a shout out to peter skill learn from reinvestment partners. Peter was the one that really Was helped us help the city get this grant together And peter's not here tonight, but he also had a big role to play in this We're now going to move to our next Ceremonial item, which is a history moment and i'm going to ask Our our public historian eddie davis if he would come forward To talk about sam reed and the five freedoms of the u.s constitution Eddie all yours And thank you very much. Mr. Mayor. Good evening to the council and to the staff As you all are aware national constitution week is annually commemorated during the during september 17th through 23rd Our united states constitution is a linchpin for the democracy that we enjoy in our great country the preamble The articles the original bill of rights the subsequent amendments to the constitution Articulate the governmental the societal and the individual rights that protect freedoms that we enjoy Looking back over the past 150 years of Durham history There are many women and men who have exemplified the importance of freedom And the bridging of the gaps that exist in our communities Although there are many wealthy and powerful folks who have helped to build and support our community Most of the positive and lasting change has been symbolized by regular ordinary common Men and women Musically when I think of the nobility of the regular ordinary hard-working people I think of erin copeland's fanfare for the common man And I think of the Durham based acapella group common woman chorus In fact the distinctive and steady and insistive A percussive beating of the timpani and the blaring trumpet sound of erin copeland's fanfare seems to symbolize one of Durham's most lovable characters of the 1970s the 1980s and 1990s Sam reed was not a large man But in terms of his robust advocacy. He was a giant figure in the lifeblood of this community He was able to stretch his small frame across racial gender Age labor social barriers during the final quarter of the 20th century in the bull city Sam reed's preparation for his Durham tenure stretched from the ukraine and the soviet union to the freedoms that we enjoy in the united states of america Sam reed embodied the five freedoms of the first amendment of the united states constitution The freedom of religion allowed this jewish immigrant to escape the grasp of the russian revolution His work as a union organizer during the depression and his brief membership in the communist party were protected By the freedom of association and the right to peacefully assemble He was blacklisted during the era of united states senator joseph mccarthy Sam reed used the freedom of the press and the freedom of speech to publish the trumpet of conscious Which was why to distribute in durham and beyond distributed in durham and beyond Sam reed used the freedom to petition the government in order to advocate for the official naming of the of durham's martin of the king parkway He particularly wanted to ensure that our mlk parkway flowed through neighborhoods and business areas that were racially integrated Sam reed's work was recognized by the durham city council the durham board of county commissioners The former independent weekly newspaper the haytai heritage center and the durham branch of the NAACP As mentioned earlier, sam reed stood tall for justice equality and the american way Sam reed was a wonderful poster child for the united states constitution In this 20th year after his death And during this sesquicentennial year Durham still salutes the many bridges that were built by this great Common man named sam reed Thank you very much, mr. Maher That was great Sam was friend of mine as well. He was not a large man. He was quite a bit shorter than i am if you can believe it And eddie i'll tell you one other Fact about sam reed He when he had to he took a new name Actually as a partially as a result of having been blacklisted during macarthur And he chose the name reed after john reed the uh Journalist who covered the russian revolution and is buried in the kremlin wall, which i always thought was Barry sam reedish But uh, thank you so much for that presentation eddie and for remembering a a wonderful man, uh from durham I will now have another proclamation and i'm going to ask councilmember javier cabillero if she would join me and uh We are i'm going to ask the folks I'm going to ask michelle old founder and executive director of the diaper bank of north carolina Please come up and anyone else that you might like to bring with you michelle We're glad to see you and i'm going to ask Councilmember cabillero if she would do the honors Good evening. I'm delighted to read this. Uh, michelle is a neighbor of mine and our kids are close friends, so Whereas diaper need the condition of not having a sufficient supply of clean diapers to ensure that infants and toddlers are clean Healthy and dry can adversely affect the health and welfare of infants toddlers and their families And whereas national surveys report that one in three mothers Experiencing diaper need at some time Other children are less than three years of age and 48 of families delay changing a diaper to extend their supply And whereas the average infant or toddler requires an average of at least five fifty Diaper changes per week over three years and whereas there are no government assistance programs for the purchase Or provision of diapers and a monthly supply of diapers can cost as much as six percent of a full-time minimum wage workers salary Therefore obtaining a sufficient supply of diapers can cause economic hardship to families And whereas a supply of diapers is generally an eligibility requirement for infant and toddlers to participate in child care programs And quality early education programs and whereas the people of Durham recognize that addressing diaper need can lead to economic Opportunity for the state's low-income families and can lead to improved health for families and their communities and whereas Durham is proud to be home to various community organizations such as the diaper bank of north carolina That recognize the importance of diapers and helping provide economic stability for families and distribute diapers to poor families Through various channels now therefore i steven m shul mayor of the city of Durham north carolina do hereby proclaim september 22nd through 2018 2019 as diaper need awareness week in Durham and hereby urge all citizens to donate generously to diaper banks Diaper drives and those organizations that distribute diapers to families in need to help alleviate diaper need in Durham and environments Witness my hand and the corporate seal of the city of Durham north carolina this 16th day of september 2019 Good evening I started the diaper bank in 2013 right here in Durham from my kitchen table with the goal of providing 50 000 diapers in the community We are now the largest diaper bank in the country We um distributed 4.3 million diapers last year We have three warehouses across the state, but Durham is our largest We distribute 300 000 diapers a month and we work with over six to 800 volunteers a month that make that possible The reason why we have a diaper bank is one in three families experience diaper need There's no assistance for diapers wick and food stamps Do not cover them and they cost up to a hundred dollars a month So families are making really tough decisions between buying food or buying diapers And every single time families will choose to feed their children and try to make those diapers last as long as they can So we see babies left in one diaper a day Families are using out reusing diapers and parents making really tough decisions about basic needs that they shouldn't have to make I encourage you to come visit our warehouse. You can wrap diapers and cover babies bottoms And thank you so much to the city of Durham for recognizing diaper need awareness week Thank you so much We'll now move to another proclamation for national preparedness month And i'm going to ask mayor pro tem jillian johnson if she will come forward to do the honors and i'll ask Jim groves director of derm county emergency management division to come forward and anyone else that he might like to Bring with him Mayor pro tem Thank you, mr.

I'm sorry madam clerk. Thank you. I wasn't too much for hurry Thank you I think that we'll move now to item 19 municipal separate storm sewer system Mr. Rees Thank you, mr. Mayor. I just wanted to comment briefly on this matter because this item Generated some discussion or a work session about the demographics of the one of the two contractors identified in this particular item and I Reached out to staff during the course of the intervening week to ask a series of questions about this item And what I found out is the first question I asked was Were there no subcontracting opportunities identified for this project generally speaking when we have A contract for services for the city say a construction project We will hire a large contractor who then will satisfy certain Um Requirements for minority women and business participation by having subcontractors take that role from our list of certified Minority women and businesses that qualify for this type of work And that was not done in this case, and I wondered why there's two reasons number one The work itself did not lend itself to subcontracting because it is simply the inspection That is just the inspection of the sewer system that's described in the in the agenda item There's no like the this particular contractor will not hire a separate vendor to do any part of that work They'll just send the folks out to do the work the other The other complicating factors that there are no certified women or minority owned businesses identified by our in our database That perform this specific type of work and so While it would not normally be my preference to recommend or to approve a contract with a With a with a vendor who had these types of demographics. I think in this case The alternative is not doing the work itself and staff has made it clear to me that these are important projects This is an important project. They needs to move forward And so with that understanding and with no other if no one else has anything they'd like to say I'll move the item. Thank you. Is there a second second Moved a second that we pass item 19 to authorize the city manager to execute this contract and do also Two separate contracts. Madam clerk, please open the vote Please close the vote And the motion passes for zero. Thank you. Mr. Mayor. I also just want to thank our staff for Working quickly to provide me that information. Thank you very much. Thank you councilmember I think I'm going to go ahead and do item 20 now. Mr. Andrews Would you like to speak on this item now? Why don't you please come to this podium right here? Welcome, mr. Andrews, and you have three minutes Thank you very much The item that I'd like to speak on is the stormwater repair along alleyway 13 And I want to speak in support of that repair certainly there's currently sinkholes that are blocking school children from getting to school Excuse me But but I think what's not being addressed is the water load coming off of Duke's campus, which is currently spilling over Buchanan Into my yard and kind of overwhelming that system so I think that it is Admiral that you're you're spending the money to fix To band aid the broken pipe But that's a lot of money that's being spent that will most likely break again And I can't seem to find A group of the city to talk to as to how to solve that problem And so I guess what I'm doing here in my Three minutes is not arguing for or against but really appealing to understand the process and how to make the situation better because I'm spending a lot of money Repairing my property from water damage multiple times a year You're spending a lot of money to repair pipes that I believe are going to continue to break And there doesn't seem to be a long-term solution to 35 acres of impervious runoff from a major university That's going into one 24 inch pipe I think a good description would be We're we're shooting a fire hose at a drinking straw and the drinking straw is failing And it's making a mess of everything I don't think the solution is to put another drinking straw In its place and I understand that Infrastructure is a huge expenditure and it's a long-term Thing and I'm not asking for a solution overnight But what I am asked for Is the ability to to be a part of a larger discussion and I haven't found an avenue for that yet But I do know that 35 acres between main street and markham Is too much to feed into a 24 inch pipe that's been there for 100 years a pipe that Runs very close to my foundation and it's currently It is currently pushing water onto my property and creating sinkholes Along with the sinkholes that are forming underneath your public streets and sidewalks Thank you. Can we have a response from staff, please? Good evening Dana Horn Cole with the public worst department and good evening mayor and council. Good evening Dana um Mr. Andrews raises a difficult question and uh, I believe that the the best answer to provide is that um City of Durham in the older parts of town was developed at a period of time Our stormwater regulations were much different than they are now The city and the department are looking at regional improvement plans for different areas of the city where we're experiencing flooding and repeated infrastructure failures, particularly in our stormwater System and we're working in conjunction with our water management department and their rehabilitation projects I would say that water management department is a little further ahead than public works is with our stormwater division Primarily because they existed longer than we have for a much younger group But regional stormwater development is something that we're taking into account and looking at regional areas where flooding is occurring Thank you, mr. Horn Cole and uh, I assume mr. Andrews could be in touch with you if you want to have further discussions of his particular His particular area of town Great, mr. Andrews. Thank you Appreciate it. Yeah, I didn't hear a next step, but I do appreciate it. Pardon me Okay Yeah, follow up with mr. Horn Cole. Okay We'll now, uh, accept a motion on item 20 Move approval second been moved and seconded that we authorize the matter to to amend the existing contract Uh, and to amend the existing contingency fund and to authorize the manage to negotiate additional change orders Madam clerk, please open the vote Please close the vote The motion passes for zero. Thank you very much All right, uh, we'll now move on to the general business public hearings item 23 consolidated item new haven townhouses Good evening. I'm jamie sunyak with the planning department I would first like to state for the record that all planning department hearing items have been advertised and noticed in accordance with state and local law and affidavits of all notices are on file in the planning department Request for a future land use map amendment and zoning map change have been received from jarred edens of edens land For one parcel of land located at 2600 ellis road totaling 9.116 acres The applicant has applied for a zoning map change from residential suburban 20 to plan development residential 6.239 With an associated development plan that stipulates up to 55 townhouse units The area is designated industrial and open space on the future land use map And the applicant is seeking low medium density residential, which would coincide with the zoning request Key commitments include limiting the number of units stipulating the housing type setting a maximum maximum pervious surface of 70 percent Dedicating additional asphalt along ellis road and additional asphalt for the construction of future bicycle A future bicycle lane the Durham planning commission at their june 11 2019 meeting recommended approval of the proposed by a vote of 12 to 1 Staff determines that these requests are consistent with the comprehensive plan and applicable policies and ordinances Three motions are required for this application. The first is to adopt a resolution amending the future land use map The second is to adopt a consistency statement and the third is for the zoning ordinance Thank you very much miss sun yak. You've heard a report from staff I'm now going to declare this public hearing open and first I'm going to ask if there are any questions for miss sun yak by members of the council Hearing none I'm going to now turn to our public comment one person signed up to comment on this item. Mr. Edens sugered edens Mr. Edens welcome You have three minutes. If you decide at that point if we decide after that you need more We can work that out. This is a public hearing. Thank you sir Good evening members of the council jared edens with edens land. I appreciate your time this evening I also appreciate jamie's time throughout the the last few months working on this project I just want to add a couple things to this staff report To me. I think this is a good location for additional density The location is very convenient is ellis road 10 minutes to downtown's 10 minutes rtp my office is Right behind this this property actually There's adequate infrastructure roadway capacity of water and sewer actually crosses across the property I do think that allowing townhomes in lieu of the single family would lead to a lower price point than one you could get currently If you were to zoom out on this area, there's a lot of activity in this area You have apartments east of us you have Apartments and towns and singles all three across the street from us I think by adding another section of townhomes here It just provides that third housing option that we look for We had a neighborhood meeting in february of this year. I have no opposition. I'm aware of I would like to add two proffers if I could Actually, I'm sorry one proffer We'd like to proffer a payment of 8,250 to the Durham's affordable housing fund This payment would be made prior to the first final plat for the project That number came from our zoning of 55 units At a rate of 150 a unit, which is a rate that that I've used on multiple zoning projects And I would also normally offer a school's payment as well But this project actually reduces the number of students from existing So we said the one proffer this evening and I'd be glad to take any questions. Thank you Thank you, mr. Edens Are there any questions for the applicant or for staff at this time? Let me ask is there anyone else who would like to be heard on this item Is there anyone here tonight? This is a public hearing who would like to be heard on this item Right any questions any comments by members of the council at this point? If not, I'm going to declare the public hearing closed And the matter is back before the council We would need a motion to adopt a resolution admitting the future land use plan The second motion would be to adopt the consistency statement Mr. May I'll move that we adopt the amendment to the future land use map Second it's been moved in second. We adopt the resolution admitting the future land use map madam clerk. Please open the vote Please close the vote The motion passes for zero We need a motion to adopt the consistency statement So moved second and moved in a second.

We'll now move to item 24 zoning map changed by magnolia creek phase four And we'll begin with the report from staff Good evening. Jamie Soniak with the planning department requests for a zoning map change has been received from jared edens of edens land For one parcel of land located at 4700 danube lane 1018 old evergreen drive totaling 6.71 acres This site was included in the belvin's property development plan, which was p02 dash 55 Which is approved by city council in 2003 The area corresponding to the current application Called for 13 single family lots The applicant is currently seeking a zoning map change from planned development residential 4.990 to plan development residential 7.899 With a development plan that stipulates up to 53 townhouse units for this area The area is designated low density low medium density on the future land use map, which coincides with the zoning request The original pdr zoning is compliant with all of the provisions of that approved development plan Including project boundary buffers in previous area tree coverage and open space The Durham planning commission at their june 11th 2019 meeting recommended approval of the proposed by a vote of 8 to 3 Staff determines that these requests are consistent with the comprehensive plan and apical policies and ordinances Two motions are required for this application. The first is to adopt consistency statement and the second is for the zoning ordinance Thank you, miss Sonjak You've heard the report from staff and i'm going to now declare this public hearing open And first i'm going to ask if there are any questions for staff by members of the council I have a question Mr. Mayor Mayor pro tem, miss Sonjak, we have a question Um, so i was hoping that staff could address the comments that were brought up by planning commissioner miller regarding the legal concern about Separating out a portion of a previously zoned residential tract And that affecting the pdr of the remaining property So, yes, there was some concern regarding whether or not the The entire development plan because this proposal is just for a certain area of that There was some concern regarding whether or not the entire development plan Deviated from certain provisions and whether or not there was a significant change and As a result of that there were questions relative to whether or not areas outside of this subject area should be noticed and Whether the case should be brought back concerning all of that That issue was reviewed by the planning director and also by the city attorney's office And as noted in the staff report, it was determined that it was not a significant change And as a result of that the It did not require going back in front of the planning commission I don't know if the planning director has anything else to add regarding that I'm going to ask the uh, it looks like the planning director might have something to add Pat young with the planning department. I think miss sonyak did an excellent job of summarizing that we We took the concern very seriously. We disclosed this issue in our planning commission staff report. We looked at it very closely We carefully recalculated the density of the remainder portion the original 2003 rezoning And it fell within the parameters of the original zoning and did not exceed The calculated density and therefore was not Subject to the concerns that commissioner miller raised and we looked at that carefully with uh, attorney otul on miss reyberg staff Miss reyberg, would you like to comment? I really don't have anything to add. Mr. Mayor I do remember mr. Young and mr. Otul discussing this at some length and Um, I concur with the staff's commentary on this. Thank you very much. Thank you I have a question as well In this regards planning commissioner bakers comments Uh, as you all know, um Mr. Baker on many of the rezoning applications that we have received recently Has been commenting about the need for A variety of changes That he Believes are necessary Uh to be some that he thinks need to be done As he called them short-term fixes require sidewalks on both sides of the street and all new developments increase the cities existing street connectivity ratio from Restrict the maximum block length the new developments at green building standards in his centers attention potentially using a developer friendly point based system at a bare minimum of building Design standards and at least address building orientation parking location first floor facade transparency New zoning districts that require a mix of housing types require a moderate mix of uses require that all new homes be within a quarter mile so forth Um, I wonder if you could comment on mr. Baker's comments not to each specific point, but in a general way and and discuss whether or not these will be the kinds of Issues that we will be addressing in the comprehensive plan rewrite Any any perspective that you could give us on that mr. Young Sure. Thank you for the opportunity mr. Mayor to speak to that because um commissioner baker is Very articulate advocate for a position that I think we share in principle Which is that the quality and character of new development should be equal to um the quality and character of existing development that it should have the same type of access quality of infrastructure parks and other amenities Very helpfully and we've had a lot of ongoing dialogue with him. He's Put some details in the proposals and you exerted those in your comments Some of those we are addressing through what we call our omnibus changes Which you see every six to 12 months including the next round that will be coming in the next several months Requiring sidewalks on both sides of the street Um So that one side of the street was kind of a legacy position from uh earlier this century And there are a few other changes. We're we're um, we're gonna be proposing A number of the other changes that mr. Baker is recommending um will have I think substantial um Indirect and unintended consequences on things like um housing and land prices because they can be very costly like converting existing um State roads that were designed for farm to market to city city street standards Those would have costs not just for the development community but for the city So they're going to have to be looked at very closely and thoughtfully Cost it out and weight against to the priorities and that will be something we do with the comprehensive plan process So he's really helped us with that process and we absolutely are going to address each of those concerns Many of them will be through the comp plan and and some will come before you in the next several months Thank you so much. I really appreciate those comments. Thank you so much All right, uh, any other questions for uh staff at this point If not, I'm going to uh, ask where I'll I'll ask for our public comment We have one person signed to speak up Signed up to speak on this item Again, mr. Edens welcome Uh, mr. Edens you have three minutes Good evening. Uh, Jared Edens with Edens land. Um Again, thanks to staff and thanks to uh, mr. Young for explaining some of the background on the zoning I want to give you a little bit of history that's not in the staff report. Um, as mentioned this property was rezoned In 2003 as part of a larger project A couple years ago. We we actually went through the detailed design process Uh, two or three years ago Uh for the 13 single family home Uh version of the property Got it ready for permitting and bid it to contractors and whatnot It was evident that that the home price is necessary to cover the construction costs for this particular piece of property Which has a very bad topography needs a lot of fill dirt The only way you can cover that cost is to increase the density if if there was to stay single family It would would most definitely remain undeveloped Um for good. I feel very certain of that And so what we're doing is proposing to change it to townhomes to get a higher density Greatly reduce the price point Um, I think this is similar to the last project we talked about as far as this is a third housing option Right at that node at dan. You've been hedgeron. You've got apartments singles and now this is more townhomes. I think that makes a lot of sense Uh, we are proposing a pedestrian connection Uh to the remainder of mangle magnolia. We'll have a um little stream crossing pedestrian bridge It's similar with the last project. I think uh Capacity here is great for infrastructure. The adjacent roadway capacity is well in the capacity. Uh, water and sewer is not an issue here Uh, we did meet with the neighbors back in april. Um, I do have two proffers to add Uh, we'd like to propose a payment of $1,000 to during public schools Do fire prior to the first final plat for the project that's based on two additional students And $500 a student. I'll select the proffer payment of $7,950 to Durham's affordable housing fund Also do prior to first final plat. It's based on 53 units at the rate of $150 a unit I'm glad to answer any questions you have. Thank you Thank you, mr. Edens Is there anyone else who would like to be heard on this item? This is a public hearing item Yes Can you give us your name and address, please? Sure. My name is jazelle figer I'm a resident at magnolia creek at 1014 old evergreen drive So my property the back of my lot would abut this proposed zoning change. Hence I received a letter um altogether my family and neighbors and I are Okay with their being townhouses on the other side of our lots The only thing that we would really like to know and this may be a question for Other the gentleman over here or the planning commission Is that when we purchased our homes? We paid a premium for these particular lots to back up to trees and to have a tree line and quiet On that side of the lot and so we were we were told there would never be Building on that side. So we were a little surprised to receive this notice um With that being said My question really is will we continue to have the trees the protected trees that we were told were protected To line the back lots that we paid a premium for Ms figer, thank you for being here. Thank you. I ask you to please go over to The clerk's office and just fill out one of the cards. So we have a record of you being here Okay, absolutely. You can do that now or you can do it before you leave. Thank you sure And i'm first going to ask uh, mr. Edens if he would address that and then we'll ask staff to address it So you can take a seat. Thank you Yeah, I appreciate the question and the answer is yes Her all the properties along old evergreen back up to a buffered stream Has a hundred foot buffer on both sides. So actually the townhomes would be very well Insulated from the existing single family Can I ask staff if they could comment on that as well? Sure, jamey sonyak with the planning department if uh on the development plan attachment number five the third sheet You'll see the area that we're talking about um evergreen old evergreen drive with their single family Uh development behind that there's an area that um That is open that won't be developed Further behind that is the riparian area, which is um what mr. Edens had referred to with a hundred foot buffer and a 10 foot no build on either side and the building envelope is beyond that. Okay So It does sound like You will have a substantial buffer and it looks like council member Reese is going to help you see more about that Is there anyone else that would like to comment on this item? This is a public hearing item Is there anyone else that would like to be heard? Ms figer You have any more questions or concerns? Okay, thank you. It does sound like there will be a significant green buffer that remains Thank you. Thank you for being here All right. Uh, is there anyone else who would like to comment? This is a public hearing item If not, uh, are there any other questions or comments by members of the council? I'm going to declare this public hearing closed and the matter is back before the council We would need first a motion to adopt a consistency statement Second it's been moved to second that we adopt the consistency statement.

So here we go Um What is the public policy rationale for annexation here? Given that The applicant won't be paying property taxes and it's going to cost the city Money to annex this property Well, as the one who feels like they're normally answering these uncomfortable questions, I'll do my best We uh, have had a long history of looking at uses of this nature religious and civic nature That have some need usually for public services or public utilities That have sought annexation for that for that reason. Um, I think that may be the case here Um, it's certainly it use you all's judgment whether you want to look at the um community benefit that the that the not-for-profit or religious uh group brings when Annexation is likely to be fiscally negative which appears to be the case here So, um I think we we have um, traditionally Recognize the need for some of these um mission based or non-profit organizations Have access to state services to be successful in developing Certainly, it's very much at you all's discretion about whether or not that Counterbalances the the cost of services and other considerations out here That's a really good answer Thank you, mr. Yeah Any any further comments from staff at this time? Okay. Thank you. Any other questions or comments? Okay, I'm now going to turn to Any public comment that we might have? I don't believe anyone has signed up to speak on this item Is there okay Please come forward and tell us your name and address My name is Angela Bailey. I'm actually the head of school international Montessori school And so representing them our address is at 3001 academy road building 200 Endurum. Uh, so to answer your tax question We are currently operating within the city limits at our current location We have outgrown that location. We we pretty much only have classroom space at this point And our enrollment continues to grow We are a multi-lingual Montessori school that serves children from 18 months up through sixth grade With future plans to go at least until eighth grade Hence the need for a new property So currently, um triangle united soccer association is on that property at 5510 barbie chapel road to answer one of your questions Thank you And they have operated there for a period of 10 years And so they will continue to operate and we have partnered so to speak In joining together to make use of this facility because it is slightly bigger than we need But we have synergies between the two organizations. We have common missions and we serve the same general Population with youth education youth sports So for us it felt like an ideal win for all of us to come together and make the most use of the property within Durham's county and city limits So we're maximizing use where schools typically are not going to use it on the nights and the weekends But this property will be well utilized Thank you. Is it a soccer field is a one soccer field? It will be three soccer fields Two outdoor fields and one indoor building indoor field along with offices that serve That organization How big will the field speed, you know That is on the site plan approval and was also in the minor special use permit that was approved But I do not know the specific square footage because I deal with my square footage Understood. Are they large fields? um That one is a competition-sized field and then the other field is designed to be smaller to be able to run the youth That the younger students younger children so they can run multiple practices and games at the same time As far as the building is concerned It was looked at as far as the value it would impact It is not a two-story building is a large prefabricated steel building. So that one is a large field as well Great. Thank you for that. Mm-hmm. Are there any questions miss bailey? Is that it? Did I get right? Are there any questions for miss bailey or any comments?

Uh, we'll now move to item 27 consolidated annexation for Huntington Valley And um We'll hear a first through report from staff Okay, good evening. Jamie Sanyuk with the planning department requests for a utility extension voluntary annexation An initial zoning map change have been received from Robert Schunk for a 50.255 Acre uh area of land located south of Wallsburg Wallsburg drive including the area located along an unopened Rushmore Place and Ripplebrook Road. The current configuration of this area includes 102 single family lots One open space lot and one city owned greenway parcel The applicant intends on recombining the lots into 90 single family lots and an open space parcel The city owned greenway parcel has been included in the requests to avoid creating a donut hole situation The area is presently zoned Residential suburban 10 and eno river watershed protection overlay district and staff recommend an exact translation of this zoning request Or zoning district should the council act favorably approval of the annexation petition and zoning would become effective on september 30th 2019 City and county operational departments such as solid waste fire and emergency service have reviewed their Reviewed this request and have not identified any significant negative service delivery Costs or impacts public works and water management departments perform to the utility impact analysis For the utility extension agreement and determined that the existing city of Durham water and sewer Mains have the capacity to serve the project and the budget and management service department performed a fiscal impact analysis Which determined that the proposed annexation will become revenue positive immediately upon annexation Staff determines that these requests are consistent with the comprehensive plan and applicable policies and ordinances Three motions are required for this application The first is to adopt an ordinance annexing the property and entering into the utility extension agreement The second is for the consistency statement and the third is for the zoning ordinance Thank you, mr. Sunyak We've heard a report from staff and i'm now declare this public hearing open and first i want to ask are there any questions for staff by members of the council I have a question mr. Mayor Maybe i'm a little dense here There the current configuration is 102 single family lots and the annexation request imagines that the parcel will be reconfigured For into 90 single family parcels. Is that right? That's correct. How does that work? Are like a handful of parcels combined? Do they just do a whole new map like what does that look? What is how does that work? I think the applicant would be best to answer that. Thank you. Awesome, and i'll stop asking you. Thank you Looks like Maybe mr. Young has a comment as well. So as mr. Sunyak suggested you please do ask the applicant, but If this property is under common ownership, they can file a plat to essentially redraw all of those existing lot lines This area was platted Many years ago with the anticipation of Future development so it can it can be replatted to to a configuration of 90 lots my Understanding is our ordinance requires a second point of access at 90 lots So it's likely that they're seeking to to serve this with only one point of access Thank you Any more questions for staff Wouldn't that mean they'd have to have 89 lots? Or is it more than 90? Pat Councilmember Reese asked sure so it's more the ordinance is more than 90 so they can do 90. Okay. That's thank you. Thank you All right any more questions for staff If not we have one person signed up to speak on this item mr. Shock mr. Robert shock welcome mr. Shock You have three minutes. It's a public hearing and should we decide you need more that will be available to you I should not need more. Good evening. Mr. Mayor. Mayor's of city council. My name is Robert chunk I lived 26 27 university drive here in Durham. Thank you. Jamie for stepping in for emily So the site is pat indicated was annexed quite a long time ago The southern half of this parcel has already has already been was already annexed into the city Durham There's already sore lines already somewhat through the property already On the southern half of the property. There's a significant floodway And the flood plain That would certainly be impactful to disturb So the developer was looking to just develop the northern half Of the site so that hopefully that explains the reasoning behind that All these lots are anywhere from 10 to just around 20 000 square feet. They'll remain that size We're not proposing any rezoning to reduce the lot size So this will you know remain contextual to the larger lots in northern Durham Okay, great. Thank you. I'm here for any other questions. Yeah, the comments. Mr. Schoen Have you considered a proffer to make a contribution to the Durham affordable housing fund? We have not since I understand that as strictly a thing to do at the if you're zoning the site It's not a thing to do strictly in any case. This is completely up to developers who Come for us to make a voluntary proffer or not. I did not come prepared with that information I never come prepared for that. I can say that What is nice about this this site is that or the developers and the builders intentions as a builder is looking to purchase this Once if this action passes is to develop homes sub certainly speak below the 300 000 dollar market Um to be you know nice nice have large lots on it, but I did not come prepared to provide any proffer at this time Thank you Any other questions? Ms. Sunyak looks like you have a comment just a quick comment. So without a development plan Staff does not have the ability to review or offer Except any proffers. Thank you I had forgotten that there was no development plan on that. Thank you so much Okay, uh, is there anyone else that would like to comment on item 27? This is a public hearing item. Is there anyone that would like to make any comments on this? All right. Thank you so much Without any Further comment. I'm going to declare this public hearing closed and the matter is back before the council We would need a motion to adopt an ordinance annexing huntington valley So moved second moved and second that we adopt the ordinance the annexation ordinance.

I'm jamie sonyak with the planning department requests for utility extension voluntary annexation And initial zoning map change have been received from chad abbot of C3 design and engineering on behalf of rtp international education for a set 47.707 acre parcel of land located at 4651 comstock road This property is at the edge of the durham wake county border If annexed one parcel south of the site owned by the roley durham airport will remain in the county The area is presently zoned industrial light and the staff recommends an exact translation of this zoning district If the zoning is approved as recommended the proposed three-story school building four-story dormitory building and soccer field would be permitted A site plan for these improvements have been submitted and are under review. That is case number d 1900 54 Sure, the council act favorably approval of the annexation petition and zoning would become effective on september 30th 2019 City and county operational departments such as solid waste fire and ems have reviewed this request And have not indicated any significant negative service delivery costs or impact The public works and water management departments performed the utility impact analysis for the utility extension agreement And determined that the existing water and sewer service means have capacity to serve the project And the budget management service department performed a fiscal impact analysis Analysis which determined that the proposed annexation will become revenue positive immediately upon annexation Staff determines that these requests are consistent with the comprehensive plan and applicable policies and ordinances remotions are required for this application The first is to adopt an ordinance annexing the property and entering into utility extension agreement The second is for the consistency statement and the third is to adopt the zoning ordinance Thank you miss sunyag You've heard the report from staff. I'm now going to clear this public hearing open and first I'm going to ask if there are any questions by members of the council for staff I have a question This will be revenue positive That is correct Does that mean that Hopewell academy is a for-profit school? That is my understanding Um, okay I'll have some questions for the applicant. Thank you Any other questions for staff? Alrighty, uh, is there anyone who is I see no one who was signed up to speak on item 28 Is there anyone who would hear who would like to speak on item 28? Oh, yes, sir. All right. Thank you. Could you give us your name and address? My name is Chad Abbott, uh, 2537 suite 102 in butler, uh, north carolina creep more north carolina 27522 I am representing RTP international and the plan would be to provide an international private school here at this location That is the reason the staff report notes dormitories For international students I don't know about the revenue generation what calculations Staff may have went through for that And I can't answer profit not for profit, etc But it is a private international school Okay Did you say you can or cannot answer the question about for-profit or not? I I do not know that the that part of their business. I do know it's a private international school. That's okay What is your role mr. Abbott? I'm a civil engineer site planner got you for the project. Okay. Is there anyone here from the school? the They are not in attendance. Okay All right. Thank you, mr. Abbott. Is there anything else that you want to add at this time? I would just add that the Cost of services for the city the water line is already there. We would not be actually extending utilities There's a city zone property across the street that's been previously developed We would simply be tapping that line For our services in the county run sewer our project would be developing county sewer through our property So that would not be a city service, but as a county Service that we'd be extending already through our property to finish out one of their sewer Legs that they've already pushed through that basin. So Thank you very much. Yes, sir Are there any questions for the applicant or for staff? Mr. Mayor Um, thank you. I feel like I would have questions for the applicant For the people who are actually running the school if they were here and I'm concerned That they're not here to answer those questions. Yeah Is there anyone from the school here? No one from the school Okay. Yeah. No, I understood. Yeah, we don't expect you all to be able to answer these questions. Appreciate it So, uh Council member Do you want to speak someone would like to speak sure so this is a public hearing And if you would like to speak, uh, please come to the podium And mr. Abbott, I'm going to ask you and this speaker if you could Before the meeting is over Or after the meeting is over after this item is over if you could go to the clerk's desk and fill out one of those cards So we'll have a record of your presence. Thank you Hi, could you give us your name and address? Yes, uh, so my name is acre mutina and I live At 12 haytide lane behind the cultural center. Um, so before you make a decision, of course I just wanted This to be taken into consideration that once this like for profit school will be built The area will probably like the value increase and then a lot of students who Live there won't even be able to attend the school. Um, so I I just want to Express that Hopefully there may be like a situation where Even though it's international and for profit that there will still allow some members of the community who are there to come and Attend the school without having to pay the tuition just because this is It would only benefit the students as well in the community. Thank you for your comments Thank you. Is there anyone else that would like to be heard on this item? Um, miss sunyak I would like to hear from the Representatives of the school before we take this up. What would be the best way for us to handle that? so The application could be carried or continued To a date certain The concern regarding that obviously is that this also involves an annexation So if the matter is not voted up on in this quarter then the annexation would become effective Um, essentially if approved in december as opposed to uh, september 30th All right, so, um We could ask to hear from them Two weeks from now. Could we not that would be in october mr. Matt Which is after this current quarter Leave yeah, so So if you if you continued this to the october 7th date or any time after September 30th, then the annexation End zoning would not become effective until december 31st Understood Mr. Mayor. Yeah builders asking to please Good evening mayor. Good evening city council members. Uh, I've been working on this project for about I'm sorry steve huberick. I live at 31 trailwood drive Durham, north carolina I'm with huberick development huberick construction I've been working with hope. Well, they're an existing private school that's located in carry It's an international private school The thinking is to bring 200 students from abroad Mainly china and then have 400 local students The project is a 200 bed dormitory As well as a 70 approximately 75 000 square foot school building And there are some significant impact fees associated with this project We've got because of all the beds of the dormitory in addition to the school building. I think we've got, uh Roughly 350 000 to 400 000 for the impact fees. So this is a of large Payment as far as taxes or impact fees to For this project and there's a 12 inch water main as well as a sanitary sewer that runs right up to the property So we are extending the Durham county sewer system We also are tapping on to the existing 12 inch main that's there along with some additional Significant impact fees to the project. So I just want to bring that up I don't I can't really speak to the not-for-profit or for-profit But it's uh, some significant fees that are coming to the city. So thank you Appreciate it. I'll feel out of it. Yeah Very much. Uh, mr. Mayor. I've just reviewed the school's website and on the website It says that it is a not-for-profit school So I don't know why it's revenue positive. It may be just the impact fees Um, but it looks like they are not for profit school and therefore would not be paying property taxes Yeah, mr. Mayor members council pat yin with plan department. So our colleagues in the finance, uh, excuse me budget management service department Um run and administer the financial impact analysis. They do do an assessment in this regard So I just without some that staff being able to consult that staff. I can't I'm just further. I appreciate and understand your concern and if the items deferred we'll have a full report on it understood I'm just curious if one portion is non-profit and one is not because of the international student component So they could be getting non-profit status for the students who are u.s students, but not for the international students Perhaps so Yeah, so thank you. Uh, can we get some clarification on who the applicant is? Is the applicant hope well itself? Chad Abbott Of c3 design Right, that's right. So it's on the memo Chad Abbott. You're the applicant mr. Abbott. Thank you on behalf of randy taylor with rt. Yeah, that's right Yeah, thank you That's the um schools parent company Okay, so on the secretary of state's website hope all academy academy itself is a non-profit That's how it's registered But rtp international education llc It's registered as a llc limited liability corporation. So that may be the distinction. Okay All right, um I I guess I'll just speak for myself. I'm inclined to go ahead with this, but I'm also They're significant objections by the members of the council. I could wait as well okay, um I just wanted to speak briefly to the Issue raised by the resident who lives nearby that spoke I think Based on what I can see It looks like the expansion is geared primarily toward the boosting the international portion of the school Which from what I can see on their website is fairly lucrative for them um, and uh, and but since those folks will be coming from Other countries. It's not entirely clear to me how that would impact the Um, the surrounding property values just to have the dormitory there and the the school Um, but that's just me trying to Surmise although we've got a late entrant to the room who may want to speak Sir, would you like to speak to us? Thank you, uh, please give us your name and address and we're glad to have you here I'm apologize to the council Windflat tire and I was watching you online. I was really nervous. So Randy Taylor hit a school Hopewell Academy Um, and so I can answer those questions Thank you So I think one of the questions is is Hopewell Academy a non-profit or a for-profit and how to use that interact with your parent company Which apparently is an LLC? it is a non-profit and Right now this parent company has invested in us in order to allow us to acquire these facilities if passed tonight I'm sorry. I missed that they have allowed you to they're investing in us As a non-profit in order to make these facilities available Okay I'm not sure I understand that but does that mean that the parent company is a for-profit company and they're the ones that'll be Building the facilities and therefore hence the the for-profit status that we've noted in our Yes, sir. You're on new projections. Okay. All right. Okay, and so, uh, you will be Uh expanding to serve international students Uh, yes, sir. This will be very unique in the area because the dormitory will be a co-ed dorm divided by floors And it'll be the first I believe and it's kind for a high school Actually, we're six through 12 in the region And mainly for international students or how about actually we hope to market For around the United States, but as well as international students. Okay Um, so it won't mainly be for people that live here. It'll mainly be for people who come from other places Well, our building size Will house uh administrative building and classrooms around 680 students So we actually hope to be around half and half 200 students in this dormitory And then Around 200 to start we hope in our local area But we do hope to grow further and eventually add on Thank you. Any other questions for the applicant? Because just one question Um, I'm sorry just to go back to the the question about the for-profit and the non-profit So the for-profit company is building the building that you all will be renting. Yes. Okay. Um, so the so there the applicant here Well, I have to look to our builder on the technical aspect of that The uh, the the civil engineer is the actual app. Okay. Okay. I think I got it Yeah, it's complicated Sorry for being out of breath. It's all good. Appreciate you making it. Thank you And uh, I could please ask again all of our speakers who Not signed up if you all could do so before you leave today.
