17:31 And then you've got Northeast 174th Street just north of that. And then you've got Northeast John Nelson Road abutting the site to the east. So here's the zoning map. The site is located within the R5 zoning district, and it abuts other R5 zoned parcels in each direction, with the exception of Morgan Creek along the north boundary. This map shows the configuration of the site and the surrounding parcels and streets a bit more. This next one here is the site map. So this is an aerial view of the site showing a bit more as far as current conditions. You can see there's quite a bit of trees on the property and of course the existing residents. There's actually two residences and several accessory structures. Both houses are going to be retained on two of the new lots, which we'll get to.

18:25 Most of the accessory structures, I believe, are going to be retained or relocated to comply with setbacks. I believe there's one barn that will for sure be removed. And then as far as the topography of the site, there are some steep slopes, some severe erosion hazard areas. Of course, you have the creek along the north perimeter, so there is an associated flood hazard area as well as some wetlands and riparian habitat on the site. So all of these critical areas were looked at and reviewed as part of the application. So you said there are two existing dwellings and they'll remain, one on Lot 1, the other on Lot 5, is that right? Yeah, and I'll go into that a bit more, actually, I think. My next slide here. Yeah, so here's the proposed preliminary plot. This is in the record as Exhibit 32, as I mentioned, and I'll zoom in in just a second. This is a proposed cluster development, and the applicant is proposing six new buildable lots.

19:25 Lots 1 through 5, again, are the smaller cluster lots. Let me see if I can... So also there's that red dashed line. Is that the boundary of the wetland buffer? Yeah, so it designates wetland and habitat buffers and building envelopes. And then in the areas that have already been developed, it says area of historic use, so it's just mapping out those developed areas. So that shows where development is and where development can be relative to the designated wetland buffer boundaries. And the big area, Lot 6, that's the remainder lot. There's no development there. So it is going to be a buildable lot, and so it looks a little confusing because it almost looks like you're going to be encroaching on the critical areas, but this driveway, I don't know if you can see my mouse. Yes.

20:22 Okay, so that's existing. So it's already there. The building envelope indicates that you'd build in this area here. So yeah, you're avoiding wetland seed and all the surrounding buffers. But since that's existing, that's just part of the development, that driveway. When it does settle on this years from now, there will be six dwellings. Is that right? Yes, there will be six. Let's see. So yeah, you've got Lot 1, existing residence there, existing garage. I believe the applicant's going to try and retain that garage by shifting a lot line a little bit, and I'll touch on that again because that came into the record after the staff report.

21:15 Let's see, there's two access easements. So you've got one serving Lot 1, 5, 4, and 6. And then you've got a smaller one north of that serving Lots 2 and 3. Again, most of those structures are going to be retained. I think there is one barn to be removed. So yeah, that's kind of the gist of that. We can always come back to the plan. Do you have any other questions on the plan before I move on? No, I just want to confirm my understanding of it. Perfect. One other thing. Does that, those boundaries, does that reflect the, I guess the final mitigation, revised mitigation plan for the habitat is in exhibit, what was that?

22:14 62. Does that reflect the final determination where these boundaries are? It should, yeah, and I'll let Keith speak to that. I believe he is here tonight. He's the biologist, but yes, that's my understanding. Okay. Okay, so now I'll show some site photos. Okay, so here I am standing at the Northeast 174th Street and Northeast John Nelson Road intersection looking southeast. So the site's kind of behind me there. And then here I'm standing in that same intersection, this time looking southwest. So I'm looking towards the site. You can see how heavily treated it is.

23:07 And I wanted to get some good angles of the intersection, mostly because we've got some public comments around site distance and things. So I tried to kind of capture the intersection there. And then here I'm standing a little bit further onto Northeast John Nelson Road, looking south towards the site. And you can see Morgan Creek where it bisects the site in the northeast corner of the parcel there. It goes under the street a little bit. And the only stream we're talking about in this whole development is Morgan Creek.
