12:28 this is this is commissioner barker can we have the map pulled up please

12:46 i i believe it's the far left that drives out towards dollars corners is that the red or the blue i'm looking at it's both both okay so we see the expansion there the red and the blue so is the part of it this is commissioner barker i believe blue is considered rural land in the zoning designation and the red pink color is going to be commercial is that correct the blue is proposed to be uh industrial employment and the red is commercial so in its current state are the are the colors um the same uh amount of commercial land is out there and because dollars corners was a rural center

13:46 Okay. That's the current. Okay. So the portions of the blue are RC1. The red is primarily the CR2, which is commercial. So the blue is mostly RC1 and R5. Okay. Thank you. All right. Commissioner Bark, again. So it has the appearance that mostly the commercial land is overlaid on commercial land. So it has the appearance that mostly the commercial land is overlaid on commercial land. So it has the appearance that mostly the commercial land is overlaid on commercial land. So it has the appearance that mostly the commercial land is overlaid on commercial land. So it has the appearance that mostly the commercial land is overlaid on commercial land. So it has the appearance that mostly the commercial land is overlaid on commercial land. So it has the appearance that mostly the commercial land is overlaid on commercial land. So it has the appearance that mostly the commercial land is overlaid on what is commercial now commercial land is overlaid on what is commercial now

14:45 commercial land is overlaid on what is commercial now with a little bit of changes to it. with a little bit of changes to it. But the industrial land goes all the way But the industrial land goes all the way through the R1 designation. RC1. Yeah? All right. Thanks. Commissioner Halbert here. I want to make a motion that we accept the Battleground UGA as presented. We have a second. This is Commissioner Fadness. Would you be able to -- was that just for item number one? Yes, for one. Okay. Commissioner Fadness, I'll second that. We have a motion and a second to approve Battleground UGA to expand UGA towards Dollar's Corner. Can we get a roll call, please? Brian Halbert. Aye. Mark Bergfold. Aye. Kyle Fadness. Aye. Ron Barber. Aye. Marka.

15:44 No. Jack Caron. Yes. Alicia LaDuke Montgomery. Yes. Carl Johnson. Yes. 6-1. Motion passes. We didn't hear Alicia's vote. Yes. Map recommendations number two, Battleground UGA to expand UGA to the north for additional residential capacity. Can we see that on the map, please? oh that's that little sliver right there okay it says the r3 and r7 yeah okay is there any discussion on this if not a motion in a second would be appropriate commissioner fatness i move to approve the expansion of the uga as presented we have a second commissioner berthold i'll second that we have a motion in a second jeff can we get a roll call please

16:43 brian halbert aye mark berkfold aye kyle fatness aye ron barca no jack caron aye alicia leduc montgomery aye carl johnson aye 6-1 motion passes uh to expand the uga to north for additional capacity number three item number three battleground uga remove the southwest portion of the uga from this would be coming you know correct me if i'm wrong is the metal glade this is the metal glade move that's correct and correct uh council has brought that back and said battleground wants that removed and council uh corrected from long said they don't they don't they agreed with that they agreed with battleground to remove it yes oh okay just take it just check it okay so again i'll take any discussion or a motion either way this is ron barca um

17:43 the i think the point for me with all of the battleground votes is the idea of um how battleground is going about doing their long-term planning uh the idea that even if the council is okay with just giving back metal glade um i don't believe it's in the best interest of the county it doesn't move the agenda forward for the county to take on more of the urban development and i think it's a mistake on our part even if council voted three to two to accept it um i'm looking at the idea of how difficult it's going to be for the county to make ends meet and the idea of taking this parcel of land back on i think is just convenient but not thought worthy and it should be thought worthy so my other two votes were predicated on the same one that battleground isn't looking at long-term planning they're looking at immediate gratification

18:41 through the industrial land and the commercial land and um my position on this is that all three of these parcels needed better inclusion in their long-term planning any other discussion commissioner leduc montgomery i agree regarding the meadow glade um expansion or i guess giving it back to the county on that point um this is commissioner fannis i guess just to clarify what you're saying um commissioner barca is is you keep mentioning that the county would have to take on urban development but if if this parcel is taken out of the the urban growth area i don't believe that that dense urban development that you're talking will be able to take place um jose or oliver could you speak to what the zoning would resort to if it's taken out of the uga and and what could be developed in that area

19:41 uh this is oliver thank you planning commissioner carl uh madness the area if removed from the battleground uga as they propose that area will revert back to rural zoning predominantly rural five and in some cases uh two and a half acre loss and five acre loss but it's going to be rural however um if there are college sheriff call it will be the responsibility of the sheriff county to respond but broadly speaking uh the area will revert back to rural uh zoning thank you oliver yeah that i mean i just don't really have a concern i guess with bringing this back to the county because what's what's the difference of like you say if it's not densely developing and there's a sheriff's call there's really not a difference

20:41 whether it's two miles to the west there or it's just in this corner here it's not like we're bringing in a lot of sewer storm and in count or city provided utilities that the county would have to pay for um commissioner barca here um i guess in that regard first of all i think it's meadow glade is a rural center and so the zoning is down to one acre isn't that yes so if you look at the map of property to the east would be one acre rc1 and then the middle would be rc 2.5 and then on the
