[9:48] years.

[9:57] years.
[10:00] It's evident that we use we met
[10:06] Here for. We have
[10:07] 3 kits all of the morning race
[10:08] here in Arlington on them a
[10:11] graduates 2 of them still live
[10:14] with
[10:22] and my mom my mom, us and Iran
[10:23] and the wheelchair. She's
[10:26] 85 years old. She's she's been
[10:31] struggling with diabetes for
[10:33] 25 years. Last year her liver a
[10:34] push and decreased so she's
[10:37] owned and this is 3 times a
[10:40] week.
[10:46] She had a pacemaker implanted a
[10:49] so this comes with
[10:54] >> she's been these all of
[10:55] conditions sadly.
[10:56] >> How make her less and less
[10:57] dependable what used to be used
[10:58] to be an open seat, she's there
[11:00] with our family. I'm lucky
[11:03] enough to have a. 5 brothers
[11:06] and 3 sisters.
[11:07] 5 of them leaving here in
[11:10] the Metroplex and we all are
[11:11] very are
[11:14] very grateful to still have our
[11:17] mom with us. And we take turns
[11:19] so that they
[11:21] she says she doesn't have a
[11:24] house she comes to each one of
[11:25] us. Every I it is Sunday and
[11:29] Monday so she comes to me and
[11:31] always she spends a day of
[11:35] 2 days in my In there same with
[11:37] all my brothers and
[11:38] sisters that that able by
[11:39] spending and when they when
[11:41] they would make sure that she
[11:44] is.
[11:44] First of all I don't want
[11:47] somebody at all times couple
[11:50] usual, she fell and she has
[11:50] here injury so we try to
[11:51] prevent that from happening we
[11:52] helped me go to the restroom.
[11:55] Well we feature we taken to the
[11:57] clinic and stuff like that.
[11:58] So all these moving from home
[12:01] to home is causing the stress
[12:04] and. Mostly for
[12:07] her so. My petition is to give
[12:11] her a a more permanent.
[12:14] Better quality of life.
[12:15] So she could have a
[12:15] home over on and we can come to
[12:18] their instead of shoot coming
[12:21] to us. More convenient she
[12:24] has 4 and others and for that
[12:27] over you has so as you can we
[12:30] have a big family and.
[12:31] I love
[12:34] on calls nieces nephews and all
[12:35] that so they they will be
[12:38] able to the said more often
[12:39] these have permanent place.
[12:42] Rather than moving from one
[12:42] house
[12:43] to another. So I believe
[12:44] approve these projects will get
[12:48] better. MAY convert time when
[12:51] she's with us.
[12:54] Hollywood I will improve a
[12:55] lot so
[12:58] as the men as the main reason
[12:58] why we're paying for these
[12:59] projects, I'm not looking for
[13:02] financial benefit, I know my
[13:03] tenant so the property taxes
[13:05] will increase. But that they
[13:06] had the benefit of I mean my
[13:09] mom and a veteran mind and will
[13:12] the prices to us.
[13:14] I know that I was told by
[13:16] Seminole contractors I could
[13:19] apply for a permit and not have
[13:23] to go through. But I'd rather
[13:24] I'd rather do it
[13:25] right away. And under the
[13:25] supervision of the city of
[13:28] Arlington that we love so much.
[13:32] There are any the commissioners
[13:35] have questions of the applicant
[13:38] this time.
[13:43] >> Thank
[13:44] you MISTER Ramirez for and
[13:45] doing things the right way I
[13:47] know we have some people in the
[13:50] neighborhood that that start
[13:50] their projects and then they
[13:53] get shut down because they
[13:54] didn't get through that
[13:55] proper channels to get permits
[13:58] and that sort of thing as a
[14:01] baby boomer myself.
[14:05] It's it's so important that
[14:06] that we have some place to take
[14:07] care of our parents if they're
[14:09] not able to take care of
[14:10] themselves and I do see that
[14:13] more and more as people are
[14:15] living
[14:17] longer life and and you're very
[14:18] fortunate to still have your
[14:21] mother here I I do not have my
[14:22] mother my father still
[14:25] around so. But I do understand
[14:28] the necessity that that older
[14:29] generations are having now
[14:29] as far as not being able to
[14:32] care for themselves in. And we
[14:35] prefer to.
[14:37] Have them with family if
[14:38] possible though one of the
[14:40] things that I did want to ask
[14:41] you
[14:41] about is.
[14:43] >> The backside of the addition
[14:45] that you're thinking of putting
[14:49] on is all siding. Would you be.
[14:53] Would you be amenable to
[14:56] matching the backside of that
[14:59] edition with.
[15:02] >> As far do you have like
[15:05] brick that goes halfway up your
[15:06] house and then you
[15:08] have sighting. Yes, yeah could
[15:09] would you be amenable to doing
[15:12] that said that it matches both
[15:15] sides. That was my
[15:16] biggest concern and is that I
[15:19] wanted it to match and not just
[15:20] be all citing where it just
[15:20] stuck out. Yeah okay all right
[15:23] so you be okay with yeah all
[15:26] right, thank you. Any
[15:29] other questions.
[15:32] >> So first of all thank you
[15:34] for being a longtime resident
[15:39] and I love with Carter were
[15:42] so I have a lot of concerns
[15:43] with this
[15:44] but listen Utah male escort,
[15:45] several points in there because
[15:45] I'm concerned about what
[15:47] happened and later on when you
[15:48] sell your
[15:49] house what what that is but
[15:52] just to make sure I understand
[15:55] this right.
[15:58] Your goal is to mom
[16:01] lives there and then various
[16:02] family members come
[16:04] stay within the sodus mother
[16:04] says his 2 brothers district so
[16:05] you're you're making that is
[16:07] her central point is that
[16:10] correct that's correct.
[16:12] Everything in my head and
[16:12] you've got my vote. I mean the
[16:15] questions commissioner Johnson.
[16:22] >> Yeah thank you for being
[16:24] here at a great thing you're
[16:25] doing and we're we're all very
[16:25] very supportive of that so that
[16:28] were on board with you for the
[16:29] for
[16:30] all this you've seen the staff
[16:30] recommendations if they
[16:33] recommended 2 items are you
[16:35] amenable to doing
[16:36] those yes. 1 one thing I I I do
[16:38] see about
[16:41] >> the removal
[16:42] of the.
[16:43] >> a shower from the master
[16:44] bath and I you know I asked
[16:46] about well how big is the is
[16:47] the
[16:49] main house and I think it's
[16:49] around 1800 something years and
[16:52] it does seem to me that better.
[16:57] Construction development
[16:59] if you leave that master bath
[17:02] with a full bath or a master
[17:02] bedroom area with a full
[17:04] bathroom and are you are you
[17:06] able and im mean to adding a
[17:09] format and leaving the master
[17:11] bath full.
[17:11] >> I don't have a problem with
[17:14] the nation is that that the
[17:17] roof peach.
[17:21] They're
[17:23] coming down like this if So
[17:24] that leaves I think the whole
[17:25] way with the water and rain
[17:27] will come down and if it extend
[17:28] well essentially
[17:29] 2 things if I extended the
[17:33] device from the shower. It will
[17:36] be a difficult.
[17:39] I'm not sure how would they.
[17:42] Make their roof and in an
[17:44] extended. That's from.
[17:44] I'm gonna be honest with you
[17:47] when I'm planning on moving
[17:50] anywhere.
[17:50] And for us my way is that
[17:53] second the U.S. From us the
[17:57] class that anyway, it's
[17:57] so so, and it it would
[17:58] were into it says that 2 feet
[18:01] so you're saying it's a net
[18:04] gain for you
[18:06] >> And this and that thing is
[18:07] that the the the wall and they
[18:08] exist in house that we have
[18:11] that will be next to the wall.
[18:14] We use it as a family room is
[18:15] get that to be beautiful
[18:18] Windows and endeavoring some of
[18:18] the line into that room and so
[18:19] I wouldn't want to block it.
[18:22] But if you that has to be done
[18:25] them in. I guess we'll find
[18:27] a way well I
[18:27] I understand the explanation
[18:30] and accept the explanations
[18:33] that that finally thank you
[18:36] Sir. Commissioner matters.

[19:01] necessary. But if you mean will
[19:02] to do it
[19:05] that's fine. Will race a point

[19:09] secondary means of egress.
[19:11] >> The loft bedroom, you know

[22:12] to communicate to us their
[22:12] plans to do with
[22:14] zoning change. So I feel like
[22:16] that's not really a neighborly
[22:17] thing to do I think they should
[22:18] have come to us to discuss it
[22:20] first not that they legally had
[22:23] to do that. But it
[22:24] what then a
[22:25] nice because the zoning change
[22:27] is a big deal. This isn't just
[22:28] adding on
[22:29] like a rumor expanding their
[22:29] house or anything this is a
[22:32] huge deal because this could
[22:33] set
[22:37] a precedent for the entire I
[22:37] think it's problematic that
[22:40] the government allows that
[22:43] legal. Mechanism so
[22:44] to speak to
[22:45] change the zoning because in a
[22:47] lot of cases that pits neighbor
[22:50] against neighbor and it
[22:53] diminishes the community.
[22:55] We witnessed had with
[22:55] the pastor when they got those
[22:56] as up so we know how that went
[22:59] to trial underneath their
[23:02] homes.
[23:04] So that to say I'm
[23:04] zoning change. Well it's an
[23:07] honorable thing to care for an
[23:09] aging parent.
[23:10] We can clearly established that
[23:14] this additional dwelling unit
[23:14] is not intended for paid
[23:15] Sarah's mom. Since an 85
[23:18] year-old woman in a wheelchair
[23:19] would not be able to access a
[23:21] loft bedroom upstairs, I'm I
[23:23] guess I'm a little
[23:26] confused about the design of
[23:29] this
[23:30] in addition, the zoning
[23:33] permitting construction faces
[23:36] takes to considerable amount
[23:38] of time. So I don't see a
[23:38] justification for a permanent
[23:40] zoning changes for a temporary
[23:44] living situation trying to make
[23:46] this make sense but it
[23:48] does not. Again this is
[23:48] something that impacts the
[23:51] entire community I understand
[23:51] their need what they're
[23:54] wanting. But there MAY be a
[23:57] better way to do this and
[24:00] I did have a discussion with
[24:01] His wife and I know she told me
[24:02] they had another house in
[24:03] Mexico that they were planning
[24:04] to retire to this worries me
[24:06] because if they end up selling
[24:08] at some point in the near
[24:10] future. What are we going to be
[24:11] left with because in essence,
[24:15] it's like a duplex because it's
[24:16] a separate entrance
[24:18] to separate the unit, I'm
[24:18] worried that in the future they
[24:21] might rented out for airbnbs
[24:22] you know every moves in here
[24:24] and or rented out for long-term
[24:25] and I understand according to
[24:26] the the ordinance or whatever
[24:26] you're not allowed to do that
[24:29] kind of led to rent out.
[24:31] How
[24:33] do we manage that in the future
[24:34] going forward how do we control
[24:35] that code we have a hard time
[24:36] with them now we've got so many
[24:37] issues in the neighborhood that
[24:39] we've been trying over and over
[24:43] to rectify and we're not seeing
[24:45] a lot of progress in
[24:46] some areas. Now I do know that
[24:47] the mayor is also another
[24:48] rental properties is there a
[24:52] way because I know in that
[24:52] documentation that he sent to
[24:55] the city that the his adult
[24:55] children would be interested in
[24:58] possibly living in that
[24:59] accessory and I mean maybe they
[25:00] can live in one of the rental
[25:01] houses, I just think there's
[25:03] other options besides doing a
[25:04] complete zoning change.
[25:06] And I think this needs to be
[25:08] brought to the commute and he
[25:09] you know usually applicants
[25:11] will have town hall meetings
[25:11] with the neighbors and have
[25:13] discussions again we didn't
[25:13] even know about into a few days
[25:16] before this is coming before
[25:19] you.
[25:20] So I'm also I wasn't sure on
[25:23] the windows I know their spine
[25:25] to this South and to the West
[25:28] is there another window planned
[25:31] for. This structure.
[25:36] Because I'm just concerned
[25:37] about it being intrusive into
[25:37] our yard. I don't know if
[25:40] there's going to be a window
[25:43] facing our yard or not.
[25:46] Ski won't come up and dress up.
[25:53] >> There's no wind only because
[25:55] you're on the East Side or the
[25:57] side of
[25:58] the property. There's no one no
[25:58] on that there are 3 windows to
[26:01] the north and that one window
[26:04] on the West elevation.
[26:05] >> Yeah, I know that they'll be
[26:08] good stewards of this but
[26:09] nothing is forever and then
[26:10] chilly this and we will move on
[26:10] probably as the wife told me
[26:13] they're planning to retire in
[26:14] Mexico.
[26:16] What's going to happen to that
[26:19] property after that we MAY not
[26:20] be able
[26:21] to control who does what with
[26:23] that accessory unit at its
[26:26] innocence like a duplex and I
[26:27] got into a single
[26:28] family neighborhood and I'm
[26:28] really upset about the city
[26:31] coming in and trying to change
[26:34] zoning. I'm after the
[26:36] fact so
[26:37] and there is a plumbing issue
[26:38] at the curb. I don't know if
[26:38] that's going to be address it's
[26:41] been going on for years there's
[26:43] considerable subsidence
[26:43] the leaks been going on for a
[26:44] very long time and you can
[26:47] actually measure this how much
[26:47] it sunk.
[26:48] So I don't know if that's going
[26:49] to be something required to be
[26:52] fixed before they. Propose any
[26:54] new construction.
[26:56] And then parking and I know the
[26:59] city does not allow doesn't
[27:02] specify the need for.
[27:03] Extra parking but if you're
[27:03] going to increase the
[27:06] population density that's
[27:07] something the
[27:08] city MAY think about putting
[27:09] into the ordinance because
[27:10] you're going to be increasing
[27:13] population density if you're
[27:16] adding living units.
[27:20] I have for right now thank you.
[27:20] >> I direct the commissioners
[27:23] have any questions for
[27:26] commissioner Blake.
[27:30] In reference your pothole or a
[27:31] problem
[27:31] with the.
[27:32] >> The sewer have you used to
[27:33] ask Arlington happened place
[27:34] that has occurred.
[27:36] >> Quest know that teachers
[27:36] aware that my husband.
[27:38] >> I walked by there a lot and
[27:42] we've talked to him about and
[27:42] yes trying to fix
[27:43] it. But.
[27:45] >> If you would have to go and
[27:46] ask Arlington eyesight or feel
[27:46] downloaded to your phone you
[27:48] can take a picture and send it
[27:48] them and they won't respond.
[27:51] >> Okay so okay, thank you
[27:54] thank you.
[27:55] >> Are you aware of this really
[27:56] isn't a zoning change this just
[27:59] in addition with this.
[28:02] >> Special use permit just want
[28:02] to make sure you
[28:03] knew that.
[28:04] >> For something that's not
[28:06] already allowed under the
[28:08] current single-family
[28:09] zoning correct.
[28:12] >> It is allowed in the City
[28:16] Council passes a niche
[28:19] let me the elephant in the
[28:21] every time one of these cases
[28:23] comes out and it's used to not
[28:26] be as often. On this body off
[28:29] and on.
[28:32] I mean, here's a look on a but
[28:34] used to be not very often but
[28:35] with the economy being what
[28:37] it is we've seen a lot more
[28:38] these come through not just
[28:38] your neighborhood but a lot of
[28:41] neighborhoods within the city
[28:44] limits of origin.
[28:48] Yeah how we set up here,
[28:48] we know
[28:49] that the person that's going to
[28:51] live in this unit has to be a
[28:55] relative.
[28:56] So when the mom to a
[28:56] passes away. I'm a physician as
[28:57] you well know, and I know what
[28:59] I heard all the diagnosis
[29:00] season.
[29:03] And I know what near future
[29:06] brings. So some could live in
[29:09] their daughter. But you can't
[29:11] rent out anybody else. But your
[29:13] point is well taken what
[29:16] happens if they ran it out too.
[29:17] Anybody not a relative.
[29:20] You have to report it using the
[29:23] Askari to nap. And the city
[29:24] will come out and
[29:24] enforce your yes they're not
[29:27] supposed to do that they're
[29:28] also
[29:29] not load kid in the area period
[29:32] airbnb is not allowed at all in
[29:35] your neighborhood
[29:35] because it's not in the
[29:37] entertainment zone, again if
[29:41] any neighbor in your in your
[29:41] vicinity is doing short-term
[29:42] rentals report the city will
[29:44] come out in But the ordinance
[29:47] and find them.
[29:50] You the death of the difficulty
[29:53] that you have is. How do you
[29:54] access code enforcement.
[29:57] How do you get people come out
[29:58] and actually
[29:59] do something and I'm going to
[29:59] reference what he just said
[30:02] again because I do it all the
[30:05] time.
[30:05] In central Arlington I don't
[30:06] live in one of the New York
[30:07] Times I live in the 1950's.
[30:10] How do I keep my neighbors
[30:12] from.
[30:13] Parking cars in their yard and
[30:16] how do I keep their fence from
[30:18] leaning over.
[30:19] >> Our report report report and
[30:21] report and eventually Coke
[30:23] compliance
[30:23] comes out and eventually things
[30:26] get done, but I got to be like
[30:27] a dog with a bone. I can't
[30:30] let go because if I do then
[30:33] this neighborhood
[30:33] goes down. So I'm going to ask
[30:36] you as a neighbor if this
[30:37] passes the City Council.
[30:39] You have got to be vigilant.
[30:40] You and your neighbors, not
[30:43] allow them to do what you just
[30:44] described.
[30:47] Well in a moment to listen to
[30:48] reply if
[30:48] you'd like.
[30:51] >> Well, yeah I I do do that
[30:53] not you
[30:53] could actually walk around our
[30:55] neighborhood and find a 100
[30:56] code by and you can make your
[30:56] full-time job, I'm just going
[30:59] to say that sure okay me so you
[31:01] pick and choose
[31:02] your battles but I know talking
[31:03] to Nicki Hunter, you know she
[31:03] was telling me there was a
[31:06] discussion I guess about a week
[31:09] ago about boarding houses and
[31:09] people are renting out rooms in
[31:12] their homes, the city can't get
[31:14] a handle on that.
[31:14] So why I mean I'm on board but
[31:17] the mother-in-law quarter I
[31:19] don't have an issue
[31:22] with that I have an issue with
[31:22] the big picture
[31:23] going forward. How is say how
[31:24] in the world are they going to
[31:25] regulate this I just don't see
[31:28] any way for them because it's
[31:29] difficult at best
[31:30] now to manage the wrenching out
[31:33] of intervention. It will rooms
[31:36] and
[31:37] single-family homes
[31:37] and here you know listening to
[31:38] what the city manager there
[31:40] they're cutting code
[31:43] enforcement.
[31:44] That doesn't make any lodge if
[31:45] you're going to increase the
[31:47] population density we need to
[31:48] increase code officers, we need
[31:49] more hands on deck and I feel
[31:52] like until the city can manage
[31:52] with it has we need to put a
[31:55] full stop in some of the stuff.
[31:59] >> But unfortunately this body
[32:01] don't have that authority.
[32:01] >> Well an even if you like
[32:02] deny it city County.
[32:05] >> Improve and I understand
[32:06] that
[32:08] too so well thank you, but I
[32:08] just wanted to give my input
[32:09] because I do share a fence line
[32:12] and they have been good
[32:12] neighbors.
[32:14] I just am concerned with what
[32:16] happens 5 years out looking at
[32:20] further out then just hearing
[32:21] now. Thank you very much.
[32:25] Thank you. Semiconductor some.
[32:37] The sticker somehow.
[32:39] >> Please state your name and
[32:42] your city of residence stickers
[32:46] in Arlington Texas.
[32:50] >> Let me start by saying that.
[32:57] I'm a little disturbed.
[32:59] That symbol of
[33:00] the members already indicated
[33:03] their support before hearing
[33:06] any out everybody else.
[33:12] I agree with what Jane had
[33:14] already said this is not by at
[33:17] t and now this is about what
[33:20] happens tomorrow.
[33:24] But they intended use but this
[33:27] property is going to be.
[33:31] I have every atv big problem
[33:32] approving this the course later
[33:33] this going to be more traffic
[33:33] there's going to be more
[33:36] parking needed at this already.
[33:40] Not
[33:40] a hearing to ordinances as far
[33:43] as parking goes far, I'm just
[33:46] going to property.
[33:46] I for one have been turning in
[33:49] code complaints because that
[33:53] car is continually. Part at the
[33:56] stop sign.
[33:58] I took a picture yesterday
[33:58] going home. 9 to 9 times out of
[34:02] 10 when I go home and change
[34:03] same neighborhood. I got a
[34:04] whole it's a car at the stop
[34:08] sign. That's against the rule.
[34:12] And that leads me
[34:15] to ask what else is against
[34:18] their will.
[34:19] If you're not here in Arlington
[34:21] on and from that but else I'm
[34:25] not hearing too.
[34:28] Hall a lot of traffic.
[34:30] In our neighborhood because
[34:31] of that 2 schools, Bryant
[34:32] elementary is down within
[34:35] walking distance from this
[34:36] house. We have our stress I
[34:39] think we have in our obviously.
[34:41] Before and after
[34:42] school trapped I think we don't
[34:45] need parking issues at this
[34:48] property.
[34:51] Trian only.
[34:54] I do not trust the process that
[34:58] the city would be and they re
[34:59] involved with the
[35:02] future use off this property if
[35:03] it turns out to be a vandal.
[35:06] Because Arlington that's not
[35:08] operate on
[35:09] a project the basis everything
[35:11] is a complaint basis so that
[35:14] puts a burden on that front.
[35:16] I already turning
[35:17] in com. Let's call it a
[35:17] violation of thing just
[35:20] neighborhood and this is one of
[35:23] my target homes for parking.
[35:25] I respectfully ask that you
[35:28] can see for my comments and
[35:31] tonight.
[35:43] >> There being no questions of
[35:45] you thank you
[35:46] very much. Now MISTER Mayor is
[35:47] you have an opportunity to
[35:47] replied to the opposition if
[35:48] you'd like come forward make
[35:50] any additional statements.
[35:54] You certainly MAY do so.
[35:59] >> I just wanted I apologize
[36:02] to James yeah we within never
[36:06] his forte. As long as we've
[36:07] been in the same house
[36:08] 24 years. The key is good We
[36:10] love you know her daughter and
[36:12] I get
[36:14] such a we should have come to
[36:14] you and tell you whether plans
[36:17] where because he didn't think
[36:18] it would be in a
[36:19] safe port first to go all
[36:21] around the neighborhood and
[36:24] tell anybody but. Just want to
[36:25] apologize and that it.
[36:28] And the situation with the with
[36:31] the hat home
[36:34] and Mexico.
[36:35] That's we bought a piece of
[36:36] land over there and when the
[36:38] planning on retiring mixing
[36:39] Coleman once we get 65 or 67
[36:42] proudly well the spending some
[36:43] time some time here we've got 3
[36:46] gets here so we asked which was
[36:47] stuck in Arlington.
[36:50] What cowboy fans we stay here
[36:50] we're not going anywhere.
[36:53] I mean I do think Bush is
[36:56] commissioner family.
[36:58] >> MISTER Ramirez is you know,
[37:01] I'm just going by what MISTER
[37:02] Gerson said as far as the
[37:04] parking around your house.
[37:05] I know you have a corner lot.
[37:08] Yes, so you are on Haven would
[37:10] and Marquette. So there should
[37:13] be plenty of room for you to
[37:15] park
[37:16] year without.
[37:19] >> Being close to a stop Yeah
[37:21] we we were
[37:21] nowhere really.
[37:22] >> Like I said we have 2 kids
[37:23] living still with us as to
[37:24] Carson my wife's tonight,
[37:27] that's for cars but there's one
[37:30] of
[37:31] the parks. In front of our
[37:32] mailbox we thought it would be
[37:35] it would is far enough from the
[37:37] from the spots
[37:39] to time. We don't part on the
[37:40] stop sign, but if that's an
[37:41] issue we'll all make it a point
[37:42] to park on the other side was
[37:43] going to say it might be better
[37:44] if we don't have a partner out
[37:45] of our own cats, I have a
[37:45] problem with that he's never
[37:48] come up, nobody's ever said
[37:49] anything,
[37:50] I'm sorry.
[37:51] >> All right, hey no problem,
[37:51] maybe you know sometimes
[37:54] education just a lot of bright
[37:55] and that's.
[37:55] >> And they got on the right
[37:58] tool to say one thing and in
[37:58] that's what this is for right
[38:00] right Prince that's right.
[38:03] Thank you, thank you.
[38:06] Commissioner Blake.
[38:07] Maybe for you or maybe for
[38:08] Alex, but just want to verify
[38:11] proper notice to go out.
[38:14] On this is correct that's
[38:15] correct. So.
[38:15] >> Yeah just a staff I can
[38:17] answer we did send out property
[38:18] owner notifications were mailed
[38:19] and the sign was placed on the
[38:22] property and thank you, I'm to
[38:25] adhere to state laws.
[38:26] >> Thank you. MISTER Mayor as
[38:29] get is there anyone. In the
[38:31] audience
[38:31] who wished to speak on this
[38:33] item and did not have an
[38:36] opportunity to do so. Not
[38:39] saying you know for sure.
[38:41] State your name the city that
[38:42] you live in and if you did not
[38:43] fill out a blue car art similar
[38:46] to this if you do so after you
[38:50] finish.
[38:54] Remember your name and the city
[38:55] that you live in
[38:55] a rented.
[38:56] >> Washington and I live in all
[38:59] it takes is thank This is
[39:00] something that what do
[39:03] at all. But the true feels
[39:06] about the
[39:07] common law
[39:08] is playing a park in there it's
[39:11] a call a lot has the front and
[39:14] all down thus at his side is
[39:15] very low. So him his family
[39:17] could Park there I have
[39:21] sympathy for.
[39:24] Because the couple weeks ago.
[39:25] And the steps that might be
[39:28] 40 here. So I understand the
[39:30] situation of him making
[39:31] have a proper place and
[39:34] somebody to have to look at
[39:36] that. But a
[39:39] forest Dakota. In the parking
[39:42] on o j.
[39:42] And I hope I don't
[39:45] but that's a big call in a lot
[39:46] of people can Park there.
[39:47] >> Thank you for your sorry for
[39:50] your loss Sir and thank you
[39:53] very much for speaking.
[39:56] Questions or comments.
[40:02] Seeing no other speakers at
[40:03] this Close
[40:03] the public caring and ask the
[40:06] commission for any questions
[40:07] comments or motion. The
[40:10] commissioners have any
[40:13] statements that like tonight.
[40:15] >> I just want to say something
[40:16] I know we as neighbors all want
[40:18] to be good stewards of our
[40:20] neighborhood
[40:21] right and one of our
[40:21] commissioners lives in your
[40:22] neighborhood and I know she's
[40:24] very active in the neighborhood
[40:26] and spends a lot
[40:27] of time communicating and
[40:28] sending town Council meetings
[40:31] and things like that and so I
[40:32] would encourage you all
[40:34] as neighbors. If you're having
[40:35] issues with parking and things
[40:37] like that please address those
[40:39] with your
[40:40] Council person please bring
[40:42] that up and ask Arlington out
[40:43] that also has an option to
[40:44] report that Street parking is
[40:46] the hand is handled by the city
[40:47] Police Department not
[40:50] actually code so there's 2
[40:51] variances there that
[40:52] you can I have to deal with but
[40:53] I do suggest that you take this
[40:55] to light and encourage people
[40:56] to
[40:57] do that. I also think that it
[40:58] might be a good idea for you
[41:01] all to work with your Council
[41:03] person
[41:04] and maybe creates a
[41:05] neighborhood community meetings
[41:06] where we all can help educate
[41:07] each other and other neighbors
[41:08] on those things because I think
[41:11] that does make a successful
[41:12] society and where
[41:12] we live we're all of y'all can
[41:15] get along and have improvements
[41:17] as the user not going away.
[41:17] Single dwelling unit permits
[41:20] are not going to go away we're
[41:21] going to see more
[41:23] and more that was and so being
[41:23] able to address the needs of
[41:26] the community as well as the
[41:27] resident is very important.
[41:28] So I do appreciate you, but all
[41:29] coming forward and talking when
[41:31] it's not your thing because
[41:34] that's important. Wilson thank

[44:56] Pt 26 dash 0, 8.70 to 0 for
[44:57] Mitchell Parkway this
[45:00] application for approval of a
[45:01] change in zoning from
[45:04] residential state. The plan
[45:06] development for
[45:08] residential state. Plus unlike
[45:09] a lot Rick utility substation
[45:11] with a development plan on
[45:12] approximately 10 and a half
[45:14] acres at this time I call on
[45:18] staff to present its report.
[45:18] >> Good evening
[45:19] commissioners for the record
[45:20] Kevin Charles Prince will plan
[45:22] a planning and development
[45:25] services.
[45:27] This evening, we're looking at
[45:28] up to a parcel of land a piece
[45:28] of property that's
[45:30] approximately 10 acres in size
[45:31] currently zoned residential
[45:34] estate and as mentioned before.
[45:38] The rig. The request is for
[45:39] plan development for
[45:39] residential state. Plus in the
[45:42] electric utilities substation
[45:46] with the development plan.
[45:46] In the past 5 years
[45:48] is only one zoning that speedy
[45:52] 24 dash 15 that was with the
[45:55] installation
[45:57] of it cell tower grated to
[45:57] 75 feet in high at the high
[46:00] school there timber to review
[46:03] that school.
[46:10] It the adopted plans
[46:10] that are going provide public
[46:11] utilities and infrastructure
[46:12] that accommodate the continued
[46:13] growth and demand of the area I
[46:15] think really that so we need to
[46:18] say about that.
[46:21] Again the south of state
[46:23] highway
[46:23] 3.60 corridor development
[46:26] strategy is to promote the
[46:28] history of the use history
[46:28] to meet and identity for the
[46:31] corridor and liver city
[46:32] investments to serve as
[46:35] a catalyst and leverage area
[46:36] schools as community assets.
[46:38] Here you see a layout of the
[46:42] site is it is proposed.
[46:47] Proposition a is for the
[46:48] construction of a new encore
[46:48] electric utility station and
[46:51] all of the affiliated equipment
[46:54] boxes.
[46:54] The equipment that are required
[46:57] as well as screening fence.
[46:59] No
[47:00] other permanent structures are
[47:04] being proposed for the noise to
[47:07] cite a. Actually causing
[47:09] the entire. Location does also
[47:12] would be a secure site per the
[47:14] applicant.
[47:15] For the utc all non residential
[47:18] developments show the gva a
[47:19] positive
[47:20] preservation plan, however,
[47:23] there are stipulations that are
[47:26] currently in the unified
[47:28] development code that
[47:29] public utilities when you're
[47:32] performing installations or
[47:33] improving
[47:37] sites, however. With this
[47:39] stated the intention is to.
[47:40] Basically just address those
[47:41] trees that are located within
[47:43] the potential building
[47:44] footprint.
[47:45] And to preserve all of the
[47:47] trees that that are not going
[47:47] to be.
[47:50] Caught up in the easements or.
[47:54] Areas were grading needs to
[47:56] take place in order for them to
[47:59] prepare the pad site. Level 3
[48:02] buffer.
[48:03] Excuse me as a level 3 buffer
[48:06] is required which would be 30
[48:07] feet the
[48:08] site exceeds.
[48:11] >> This on all 4 sides Dorf
[48:12] West North East South
[48:12] and West. With a commercial
[48:15] property is adjacent to
[48:19] residential development.
[48:21] As well as one tree per
[48:22] 300 square feet of the The
[48:24] applicant is proposing to
[48:26] install a new 6 foot tall
[48:27] masonry wall around the entire
[48:29] site there exceeding the 30
[48:30] foot buffer as I've mentioned
[48:33] before with the smallest to Rio
[48:34] to the
[48:34] north being 50 feet from the
[48:37] property line and the through
[48:38] this area of to the side being
[48:40] over 500 feet from the property
[48:44] line.
[48:44] These are of photographs
[48:45] of the
[48:48] as you can see it's a heavily
[48:49] vegetated site.
[48:52] You could barely see I guess
[48:53] you just barely see the peak.
[48:56] Of a roof of a house right
[48:59] here.
[48:59] So I
[49:00] that you have a significant
[49:02] amount of vegetation that is
[49:05] currently on the site. Here you
[49:06] get to give us a peek of maybe
[49:09] another residence there that
[49:12] one is to the north.
[49:14] The
[49:15] property lines very very
[49:15] heavily screened by the
[49:18] existing vegetation that is
[49:21] located on the property.
[49:24] Is an issue for the 2 have
[49:25] want eviation a deviation is
[49:26] the installation of the require
[49:28] trees that would be required in
[49:29] in
[49:32] the buffer. Generally speaking
[49:34] if this was a.
[49:35] If this was a site that did not
[49:37] really a sight it did not have
[49:40] any trees they would be where
[49:41] to install
[49:41] 224 trees along the East with a
[49:44] self property lines into roles.
[49:47] What they are doing is they're
[49:48] preserving
[49:51] a 100 38 trees outside of the
[49:54] building footprint.
[49:55] And trying to preserve those
[49:55] trees alone to propose a as
[49:58] well as those right now said to
[50:00] make sure the screen while
[50:00] this creates a
[50:01] significant buffer as you saw
[50:03] from the photographs of the
[50:05] site.
[50:06] And staff feel that this meets
[50:07] the intent of the buffer as
[50:10] hopefully they won't even be
[50:11] able to see
[50:12] the site besides the
[50:13] the equipment that exceeds the
[50:15] 6 foot tall fence from any of
[50:18] those property lines.
[50:22] Staff to feel that this request
[50:25] will Philly need due to
[50:26] a significant growth in both
[50:27] residential and commercial uses
[50:29] in the South the center of the
[50:31] city of Arlington.
[50:32] The applicant is coming corn
[50:34] only on Corey, let's cool
[50:38] delivery delivery company llc
[50:38] staff did not receive
[50:40] any letters of opposition or
[50:41] support staff did receive in
[50:43] worries about what was
[50:46] happening at the site. The site
[50:49] is currently an planned it.
[50:51] If if request
[50:53] is approved and when they do
[50:53] get ready to come in with their
[50:56] play that we will look at any
[50:57] type of drainage Street excess
[50:57] things of those natures do in
[51:00] that process staff available if
[51:02] there any questions
[51:03] or comments.
[51:07] >> Thank you. MISTER Charles
[51:07] well we do have a question
[51:08] commissioner center. All just
[51:10] kind of forgot to ask this
[51:11] question at work session this
[51:12] green wall there's an image on
[51:14] the development plan it looks
[51:15] like
[51:15] brick thin wall but then the
[51:18] detail shows like it's a
[51:19] prefabricated
[51:22] screen will which one of these
[51:23] going to be a pretty
[51:23] foot prefabricated.
[51:26] >> Style screen wall masonry
[51:28] but but the lone panels slide
[51:29] in place they want to I asked
[51:32] him to provide an image so that
[51:33] you can also see.
[51:36] The equipment. The focus the
[51:36] things of that nature is we
[51:39] really do have and that they
[51:42] should try for. Yeah so I asked
[51:45] him to put that on there.
[51:48] >> Commissioner Gruber.
[51:50] >> Sorry I forgot test this too
[51:50] but when they get into planning
[51:51] to go through all those studies
[51:52] or any kind of required sound
[51:54] study you think they'd have to
[51:56] do is part of the
[51:56] planning process make sure
[51:59] there's not some kind of
[52:00] planning We.
[52:03] If it is recommended heavily by
[52:06] my engineer then so be it.
[52:07] >> Or by fire a new vent we
[52:08] will ask them questions and
[52:08] reference to any type of sound
[52:10] a generation type of the issues
[52:12] they
[52:12] MAY have I know that mostly do
[52:15] below homs and clicks yeah.
[52:18] >> Maybe a little bit
[52:19] >> crackling mention Saturday
[52:22] and I think the only thing they
[52:22] have mechanical that would
[52:23] make up maybe a little bit of
[52:24] noise as I know they have fans
[52:24] for the cooling of
[52:34] but if staff had a concern that
[52:37] guests as for the yes Sir.
[52:41] >> Thank you MISTER Charles
[52:41] thank you Sir just I'm open to
[52:44] the public hearing and called
[52:46] for
[52:46] the first speaker all I see
[52:49] African to come forward have a
[52:52] card from MISTER Rob Myers.
[53:06] Thank you MISTER Meyer's name
[53:09] and city own.
[53:11] >> Good
[53:11] evening Commission.
[53:12] >> My name's action Miller, I
[53:15] am a project manager in our
[53:18] right of way group.
[53:18] And involved in at the
[53:21] permitting and zoning aspect of
[53:23] this
[53:23] new substation I the
[53:26] opportunity to present. Before
[53:29] you
[53:31] all tonight. So just kind of
[53:34] going into high-level the need
[53:35] for
[53:38] this station. Currently on
[53:40] Corps operates and owns
[53:43] a 15. Substations and switching
[53:45] stations and we have to in
[53:46] the pipeline. One of which
[53:49] being this is this is our
[53:52] Thelma who were calling it
[53:55] substation I'm in really they
[53:56] need for this
[53:56] is.
[53:59] >> We have our our Saint
[54:02] Theresa just north of the
[54:03] Interstate 30 Courtland which
[54:06] is east of the west of this
[54:08] site east of South
[54:11] Cooper Street and Webb just
[54:12] west of highway
[54:14] Those are.
[54:15] >> All at a level of capacity
[54:18] that that takes us that we take
[54:19] a look
[54:22] at it, we're estimating that
[54:23] within the next 5 years that
[54:24] those substations will reach
[54:26] what we allow for they're
[54:29] they're amount of capacity and
[54:31] so we
[54:32] we're taking a from the
[54:35] sighting perspective of where
[54:38] can
[54:38] where can we operate a new to
[54:39] pick up the additional load at
[54:41] that's In this particular area.
[54:46] So we landed on this
[54:47] side we have to for a new
[54:50] substation we look at where our
[54:53] existing transmission. Lines
[54:56] are
[54:56] this site is north
[54:59] of our existing a 3.45 kv
[55:01] transmission
[55:01] lines so it provides an
[55:04] adequate amount of space for us
[55:05] to operate
[55:08] and construct just under 3 acre
[55:08] substation
[55:10] I'm being this site is a is
[55:11] about just over 10 acres.
[55:14] I don't know commissioner their
[55:17] sight.
[55:34] So this is our Thelma
[55:37] substation like I said it's
[55:39] just under 3 acres.
[55:39] Ultimate for transformer
[55:41] substation with to control
[55:44] cabinets there on the West
[55:44] Side. One point occurred
[55:46] correction is that the
[55:49] substation will beast Greene
[55:50] within a
[55:51] foot Mason very screening law
[55:54] as opposed to the 6 foot and
[55:55] that staff mentioned
[55:58] and we do have our single point
[56:01] of access which the road
[56:02] our property.
[56:03] So we pick in that back of
[56:06] using utilizing that existing
[56:08] to access
[56:09] our station and typically
[56:10] whenever I say access. This is
[56:12] an man station. However our
[56:15] crews go
[56:15] to ours our science twice a
[56:18] month to typical f-one 50 to do
[56:20] regular maintenance take reads
[56:22] off of the top of the station
[56:24] and any kind maintenance and
[56:28] things that are required.
[56:31] And. From
[56:35] commissioner Finley you had
[56:37] mentioned that there is in the
[56:38] work session that there is a
[56:41] need in the area which we
[56:43] definitely see that
[56:46] what this substation does is it
[56:49] transforms to 3.45 k v.
[56:49] Electricity at steps it down to
[56:50] the distribution level which is
[56:53] where we see our wood pulls our
[56:54] distribution poles
[56:55] and goes into directly serving
[56:55] the residents and businesses
[56:58] within the city of Arlington
[56:59] and
[57:01] we're estimating typically with
[57:04] this they can and on load of
[57:07] about
[57:08] 10,000. Customers that it
[57:09] directly serves. So hopefully
[57:12] we can provide to increase and
[57:15] then continue to
[57:17] provide reliable services to
[57:17] the area. And with that I also
[57:20] have engineer with kimley-horn
[57:21] MISTER Rob Myers as well
[57:24] as our area manager MISS
[57:26] Tiffany Richmond.
[57:27] Addressing questions that the
[57:29] commission MAY have thank you
[57:31] for your time.
[57:34] To the commissioners have
[57:36] questions at this time
[57:37] commissioner center.
[57:39] >> a question of you explain to
[57:42] the reason why the placement of
[57:44] the. Substation was at
[57:45] that location. And how you
[57:46] actually connect to the
[57:47] transmission and what several
[57:49] players underground above
[57:51] ground.
[57:54] >> So we do have our existing a
[57:56] 3.45 Katie transmission line
[57:59] that's just along the south
[58:02] side
[58:05] so we will be
[58:07] transmission line.
[58:10] I'm into this substation that
[58:11] will get dispersed to the
[58:14] distribution level. And so
[58:14] whenever we looked at I
[58:16] mentioned.
[58:17] >> Earlier we have are 3
[58:17] >> substations that were
[58:20] estimating are going to be a
[58:23] day.
[58:24] A higher level than what we
[58:25] find And so how we like to play
[58:28] season. One along an existing
[58:31] transmission line.
[58:34] And that those substations are
[58:37] even spaced amongst
[58:38] the city to adequately serve
[58:40] the different residents and
[58:41] businesses in the various
[58:41] areas.
[58:44] >> It MAY be to clarify why did
[58:44] you had you place it
[58:45] on the property on the property
[58:46] that was you know put it closer
[58:48] to the transmission lines.
[58:51] >> So we do have.
[58:55] We do have a flood plain that
[58:58] basically cuts off this corner
[59:01] as well as
[59:02] there's a a branch of a
[59:06] that picture versus cut through
[59:08] this property as also to
[59:09] minimize the amount of
[59:12] impervious coverage. That we
[59:15] are.
[59:17] By extending a driveway further
[59:18] down or increasing the amount
[59:20] of runoff on to the site that
[59:22] we've got a drain. A way to
[59:23] drain away from the station.
[59:26] So this provides a quick in and
[59:29] out for us.
[59:33] Also minimizes the from east to
[59:37] west and point we
[59:37] placed it right in the middle
[59:38] of the property. So that we're
[59:40] not want one side closer to
[59:44] residents any other.
[59:47] New questions.
[59:54] >> Are there any other speakers
[59:57] in support.
[1:00:03] MISTER Richards swing you'd
[1:00:06] like to be a speaker, but it's
[1:00:08] just you're
[1:00:09] interested in hearing the
[1:00:11] opinions so please come forward
[1:00:12] and tell us what side you're
[1:00:14] fall.
[1:00:15] >> You never night MISTER
[1:00:18] CHAIRMAN, a name and the city
[1:00:20] that you live
[1:00:23] got a few MISTER Swing by your
[1:00:25] name. So it starts You
[1:00:25] live in.
[1:00:28] >> You have a little Elm Metro
[1:00:32] Parkway on mission Parkway.
[1:00:36] Setback to be actual physical.
[1:00:39] Property that's required the
[1:00:43] city code.
[1:00:45] And I would like for that.
[1:00:48] They're talking about the
[1:00:52] screening fans. Also like for
[1:00:57] to restrict the noise, a
[1:01:00] maximum them actual high over
[1:01:03] the solid acoustics sound.
[1:01:06] Well some of the conflicts cell
[1:01:08] walls and plant much.
[1:01:08] >> Your evergreen screaming
[1:01:14] trees around the property
[1:01:18] To address the drainage.
[1:01:21] I talked to are.
[1:01:25] Talk to them in our own e-mail
[1:01:26] MISTER MISTER Charles hurt us
[1:01:29] and he and he said the drainage
[1:01:30] would be.
[1:01:31] Addressed in the playoffs on
[1:01:33] the plan was approved talk
[1:01:36] about that Randall's Street
[1:01:37] that Street running North and
[1:01:40] south. On the North and there's
[1:01:43] a public storage.
[1:01:45] >> gas company. Gas
[1:01:46] company had asphalt public
[1:01:48] storage has concrete all of
[1:01:51] that
[1:01:51] water dumps to Mitchell Parkway
[1:01:53] and Grindstone court half of
[1:01:56] grants do and it runs down.
[1:01:59] Right now it runs down
[1:02:00] to it ft empty field. It's not
[1:02:01] a problem he goes in the field
[1:02:04] dissipates good. But when that.
[1:02:09] Substation he's still in there.
[1:02:10] They can't them
[1:02:11] I can't bill something in there
[1:02:13] is going to stop that. It's got
[1:02:16] to flow. And that they can
[1:02:16] leave the street
[1:02:18] like Indians. Encore coming up
[1:02:19] there but bigger colder to get
[1:02:22] down the street though some way
[1:02:23] it's got to get a rail.
[1:02:25] Substation the balling craik
[1:02:28] bohman spring 2 run double
[1:02:31] like.
[1:02:34] Any questions.
[1:02:39] >> The question was a statement
[1:02:42] so MISTER Charles was correct
[1:02:44] during
[1:02:45] the planning phase, the design
[1:02:46] engineer would submit plans for
[1:02:48] utilities back in their
[1:02:50] stadiums are going to walk over
[1:02:51] there. You know that you can't
[1:02:53] walk yet you can hear me can
[1:02:54] you hear me I can understand
[1:02:57] you can understand a lot of
[1:02:59] mumbling.
[1:03:01] We're hearing you want to come
[1:03:02] back and probably understand
[1:03:05] you MAY all come talk to you
[1:03:08] after what about that.
[1:03:13] Any other speakers in
[1:03:16] opposition.
[1:03:19] >> Saying that on the applicant
[1:03:20] has an opportunity if they so
[1:03:23] choose to to speak in rebuttal.
[1:03:29] MISTER Mayor, thank you.
[1:03:38] >> Related to the gentleman
[1:03:40] just a comment
[1:03:42] about drainage can we learn is
[1:03:46] currently preparing a drainage
[1:03:46] study. That will be
[1:03:49] along with Platte and we fully
[1:03:50] intend to meet all
[1:03:50] of that. A city of Arlington's
[1:03:52] codes and requirements along
[1:03:56] with our development of the
[1:03:59] site.
[1:04:01] And it's related to the
[1:04:02] setbacks maximum set backs This
[1:04:04] this thirty-foot setback along
[1:04:07] the Eastern and Western.
[1:04:10] So as well as the 20 foot on
[1:04:13] the front yard and 10 foot of
[1:04:13] honor act and we are all of the
[1:04:16] maximum the code requirement of
[1:04:19] a setback.
[1:04:25] >> Most are one calls
[1:04:26] one question.
[1:04:27] >> You're not going to come in
[1:04:27] and totally clear the lot and
[1:04:30] then builder substation and
[1:04:31] builders
[1:04:31] are here.
[1:04:33] >> Next year you're going to
[1:04:34] try to maintain the existing
[1:04:35] green in JULY the property
[1:04:36] lines if I understood Charles
[1:04:39] correct.
[1:04:41] >> So that's
[1:04:42] that then.
[1:04:43] >> The landscaping it's not
[1:04:44] landscape and its growth
[1:04:45] national growth that has helped
[1:04:45] that has developed over the
[1:04:48] years that is along the
[1:04:49] property lines on
[1:04:50] they either side of the
[1:04:51] property into the rear of the
[1:04:52] property you're hoping to
[1:04:54] maintain as much as that is
[1:04:55] possible with giving your
[1:04:58] overhead access line from the
[1:04:58] main line to the substation.
[1:05:01] >> Yes commissioner winkles
[1:05:04] that's
[1:05:04] We would for the new
[1:05:05] transmission line connection
[1:05:08] from our existing transmission
[1:05:08] line into
[1:05:10] the station. We we are
[1:05:10] intending we can't have any
[1:05:13] Growth underneath there because
[1:05:15] if we need to.
[1:05:16] Fix those lines we need to easy
[1:05:19] way for crews to get in there
[1:05:19] to to
[1:05:22] restore power to our customers
[1:05:23] and
[1:05:26] and yes we are on course goes
[1:05:27] to be is
[1:05:28] minimally invasive as to allow
[1:05:31] us to be able to provide safe
[1:05:34] reliable electricity.
[1:05:38] >> So I'm assuming you don't
[1:05:38] build these just because you
[1:05:41] want to good because we do.
[1:05:44] So that's a good thing.
[1:05:45] So yes, Sir
[1:05:46] so that more importantly my my
[1:05:47] question is really centered
[1:05:49] around the storm water that
[1:05:51] comes through that
[1:05:52] Street that washes over into
[1:05:52] that because the more
[1:05:53] impervious stuff we put on the
[1:05:56] ground the more storm water we
[1:05:59] have. And it has to go
[1:06:01] someplace so.
[1:06:01] Can you commit on the record
[1:06:02] that your engineers are going
[1:06:03] to design a plan that is not
[1:06:06] back that up and does not cause
[1:06:09] more.
[1:06:14] Downstream from you so that
[1:06:15] it's actually dealt with
[1:06:15] it that property is right now
[1:06:18] it's being dealt with is what
[1:06:19] it sounds like to me and it
[1:06:22] goes into that point so I don't
[1:06:24] want us to
[1:06:24] build something that causes
[1:06:25] more problems for the people
[1:06:27] upstream or downstream from
[1:06:31] that runoff.
[1:06:31] That will be you all's problem
[1:06:32] if it creates more problems so
[1:06:35] the residents can come back to
[1:06:38] the city and say they said they
[1:06:41] would
[1:06:42] fix it. But
[1:06:42] Yasser commissioner Blake I can
[1:06:43] commit that will meet all of
[1:06:44] the city of Arlington's
[1:06:44] requirements and standards
[1:06:46] related to drainage.
[1:06:49] >> And I.
[1:06:50] Allow robbed to kind of speak
[1:06:50] more to urge strange, I know
[1:06:53] they're working on their
[1:06:56] training said.
[1:06:57] >> Just want to add to
[1:06:57] that percent your name and the
[1:06:58] city that you live in yes, Sir
[1:06:58] Myers and of Frisco
[1:07:03] thank you.
[1:07:05] When we do our we also do a
[1:07:08] timely analysis. We.
[1:07:09] >> The we and analyze the time.
[1:07:12] >> And watershed so it's not
[1:07:13] just
[1:07:13] our site.
[1:07:14] >> We make sure that we cover
[1:07:16] everything within the watershed
[1:07:18] which goes beyond that site so
[1:07:21] everything that is determined
[1:07:24] based on the runoff cold fish
[1:07:24] and all these storm water
[1:07:26] maintenance Emmanuel from the
[1:07:29] city of Arlington we'll we use
[1:07:30] to determine any impacts that
[1:07:31] are so it would cause and how
[1:07:33] to mitigate.
[1:07:35] >> So is that a fair
[1:07:36] assessment that sinjar working
[1:07:36] with
[1:07:37] electricity that will kind of
[1:07:39] care about where that water
[1:07:43] goes, yes, Sir. And
[1:07:46] the questions.
[1:07:47] Is there anyone here who want
[1:07:50] to speak that did not have an
[1:07:53] opportunity to speak.
[1:07:55] Please come forward.
[1:07:58] State your name and city that
[1:08:00] you're following
[1:08:02] these carts I did not have to
[1:08:03] finish if you walk over there
[1:08:04] and Trump this card to use
[1:08:04] state your name and the city
[1:08:06] that you live in place tomorrow
[1:08:07] chop and I live
[1:08:08] in Arlington. Thank you I
[1:08:08] actually live in grants on
[1:08:09] court 7200 I'm going to be
[1:08:12] actually right next to the
[1:08:15] House.
[1:08:17] More of the same thing Richard
[1:08:18] is because there is a foot
[1:08:21] issue. On both sides of the
[1:08:24] street.
[1:08:25] The water can almost get inside
[1:08:28] the House when it's heavy so
[1:08:29] that was mine.
[1:08:29] Everything else that they
[1:08:32] talked about was addressed and.
[1:08:37] >> Whenever you 133 trees are
[1:08:39] we talking
[1:08:40] about 5 Tino trees are we
[1:08:41] talking about one or 2 year old
[1:08:43] trees.
[1:08:46] >> I would like for them too
[1:08:49] plant more trees.
[1:08:50] Whenever they build everything
[1:08:53] but that's my only concern
[1:08:55] because the flood issue is my
[1:08:55] main concern.
[1:08:56] >> Then there are the reason
[1:08:56] you want them to build that
[1:08:57] reason to put the ball because
[1:08:59] Sir if they're going to tear
[1:09:02] down trees, I mean just we
[1:09:05] placed want to use.
[1:09:08] So water is coming from the
[1:09:11] north moving South and history.
[1:09:15] You might understand that if
[1:09:18] it during heavy rain the water
[1:09:20] comes up comes over
[1:09:21] the curb. You're not occur
[1:09:21] their worker there's barges set
[1:09:22] right because covid so the
[1:09:23] water rises.
[1:09:29] They're almost just how close
[1:09:33] to your house get out of water
[1:09:34] it can be just that.
[1:09:35] And there's whenever the water
[1:09:38] comes down the cover it can
[1:09:41] handle its own water rises and
[1:09:42] the ghost the House and close
[1:09:42] to them backyard and actually
[1:09:43] where our property line from
[1:09:46] Mitchell and going still no
[1:09:48] water runs
[1:09:48] through the to all the trees
[1:09:49] and tall the electric poles and
[1:09:52] it floods on both sides.
[1:09:59] So obviously that's an issue.
[1:10:02] MISTER Charles.
[1:10:03] I have a question where are you
[1:10:06] are you aware.
[1:10:09] >> Was just told
[1:10:10] the Times.
[1:10:11] >> In Jenin group is aware of
[1:10:12] what what was just talked We
[1:10:14] know the status of the stream
[1:10:17] is the in the
[1:10:20] rule type hardage We
[1:10:21] also understood the issues that
[1:10:21] they have right now however,
[1:10:24] the applicant has its risks
[1:10:26] possible for the water
[1:10:26] that is coming onto their
[1:10:27] property and potentially
[1:10:29] dispersing from their property.
[1:10:38] To be Frank they are not
[1:10:39] responsible for. Existing
[1:10:41] conditions that are not being
[1:10:42] created by their property to
[1:10:42] the north.
[1:10:45] >> There are 5 different women
[1:10:46] in terms of their
[1:10:47] only response for making sure
[1:10:47] that they don't make the
[1:10:50] problem worse that they cannot
[1:10:52] they cannot.
[1:10:53] >> Create a situation where
[1:10:54] they're dumping more water off
[1:10:56] of there sight than what is
[1:10:59] currently taking place. You
[1:11:02] know at that point.
[1:11:03] >> We'll turn one of my
[1:11:06] concerns would be during the
[1:11:10] actual construction phase.
[1:11:13] That could be a real problem
[1:11:14] grand construction, but they
[1:11:16] would have zeroes in control in
[1:11:19] place we recall and yet we have
[1:11:20] requests whip a storm water,
[1:11:22] Bush and Prevention out there
[1:11:26] that is standard practice.
[1:11:28] >> Does staff where of if and
[1:11:31] when there might be any him
[1:11:32] group wants to
[1:11:35] that Street in order to change
[1:11:36] the the drainage high.
[1:11:38] >> To the best of my neither of
[1:11:41] those streets Greystone or
[1:11:43] Mitchell are currently on.
[1:11:43] Any type of bond program, what
[1:11:46] they're fair development
[1:11:49] program for improvements at
[1:11:49] this time.
[1:11:50] >> Thank you you're welcome.
[1:11:52] Sir, MISTER Chair or anything
[1:11:54] else you want to say.
[1:11:57] Anything else you want to say
[1:12:00] those are questions.
[1:12:04] Thank you Sir very much.
[1:12:08] Are there any other questions
[1:12:12] comments.
[1:12:15] Commissioner Maddux.
[1:12:20] >> Yeah I have a question that
[1:12:21] MS.
[1:12:24] To that. Yeah sure that's in
[1:12:25] front of us. But the comment
[1:12:25] from people hear about flooding
[1:12:28] concerns me it just seems like
[1:12:30] we just said.
[1:12:33] Not really what we're dressing
[1:12:34] ended and this crew read.
[1:12:35] Didn't seem like we're
[1:12:38] addressing it in the future
[1:12:40] what avenues mayhem.
[1:12:43] 2 to pursue a problem is this
[1:12:46] I'm like is Jen.
[1:12:47] This MAY not be proper thing
[1:12:48] you discuss that, but it came
[1:12:50] up again in the end it concerns
[1:12:50] me.
[1:12:52] >> I'll take a stab at
[1:12:54] answering that question.
[1:12:55] Because it's been asked for
[1:12:59] over the many years have served
[1:13:01] appear.
[1:13:04] The only thing that we can
[1:13:05] never and the developer is you
[1:13:08] cannot make the problem worse.
[1:13:12] They do not have to and are not
[1:13:15] required by city ordinance to
[1:13:17] improve neighboring neighbor.
[1:13:20] They just can't make the
[1:13:24] flooding any war so face of a
[1:13:27] solution.
[1:13:28] For example we were to approve
[1:13:32] this cause Council can so you
[1:13:35] know what.
[1:13:36] As much as we
[1:13:37] need the electricity, I'm not
[1:13:37] saying they're going to do this
[1:13:40] but Council cuts as much as we
[1:13:41] need the electricity.
[1:13:42] We MAY choose to not do this
[1:13:42] until this problem specs
[1:13:45] otherwise we're going to flood
[1:13:48] our neighbors out.
[1:13:48] Where the rubber meets Road and
[1:13:51] that's where that decision has
[1:13:52] been made we hear and
[1:13:55] only decide is this an
[1:13:56] appropriate use for
[1:13:59] this piece what if we could
[1:14:01] vote now and they can pill to
[1:14:04] City Council. If we are
[1:14:06] concerned based on
[1:14:07] our knowledge and our personal
[1:14:07] experience appear we think that
[1:14:09] they're really going to flood
[1:14:12] there. Our citizens. We can say
[1:14:13] no.
[1:14:16] All they're required to do is
[1:14:19] to not make it work. And I get
[1:14:22] that I do.
[1:14:23] That's
[1:14:24] not the.
[1:14:24] >> Real tools, my question to
[1:14:27] my question was what can we
[1:14:30] tell them do we
[1:14:31] have any vice to give them says
[1:14:34] we can address it in this body
[1:14:36] too address a
[1:14:37] problem that it seems like it's
[1:14:40] very real to them that needs to
[1:14:41] be addressed.
[1:14:42] >> About what can we tell them
[1:14:45] neighbors and what can we tell
[1:14:46] Council MAY was incorrect.
[1:14:47] >> How do we get them to solve
[1:14:50] a problem that's not related to
[1:14:52] the issue that some fun of us.
[1:14:52] What sounds like a real
[1:14:55] problem.
[1:14:57] >> I'll let staff
[1:14:58] answer that.
[1:14:58] >> Well one thing I would I
[1:14:59] would definitely advise them to
[1:15:02] reach out to our storm water
[1:15:03] division of public works.
[1:15:07] Every storm water concern is
[1:15:07] logged in
[1:15:08] our record. So that people are
[1:15:08] aware of it because quite
[1:15:11] frankly it doesn't really help.
[1:15:14] >> Telling us
[1:15:16] it helps.
[1:15:16] >> Telling the actual engineers
[1:15:17] who are doing all of the
[1:15:19] planning for the future.
[1:15:21] And they
[1:15:22] will know. There are a number
[1:15:23] of plans that are in the
[1:15:25] pipeline to fix certain areas
[1:15:25] that
[1:15:28] they know traditionally have
[1:15:29] been issues so I would I would
[1:15:32] Bice folks that are concerned
[1:15:34] about storm water issues too
[1:15:34] to contact public works let
[1:15:36] them know that they are there
[1:15:40] issues on Mitchell Parkway and
[1:15:40] let them know to include that
[1:15:41] in there additional studies for
[1:15:44] the future, I'm not saying it's
[1:15:44] something that would be
[1:15:45] fix nics this year. I'm not
[1:15:46] saying that it's something that
[1:15:46] would be fixed in 5 years.
[1:15:49] But at least it would start the
[1:15:52] process.
[1:15:55] >> MISTER Charm for you.
[1:15:59] As MISTER Cho and a question
[1:16:02] for you.
[1:16:13] Marrocco more, thank you or
[1:16:14] have you ever reported anything
[1:16:17] to the city regarding the the
[1:16:17] amount
[1:16:18] of water. Well okay if you
[1:16:21] before you leave tonight please
[1:16:24] talk to staff.
[1:16:24] Let them give you the full
[1:16:25] members of the people that you
[1:16:27] can contact so that you can
[1:16:27] report the issue that you have
[1:16:30] if no one ever reports that
[1:16:34] nothing will ever happen.
[1:16:34] I'm sorry that you have had
[1:16:37] your opportunity all right,
[1:16:39] thank you for that.
[1:16:42] Sure MISTER Johnson could I
[1:16:44] just want to add one
[1:16:44] more thing.
[1:16:45] >> There this is if this is
[1:16:48] approved tonight, it's going to
[1:16:48] counsel and if you and any of
[1:16:51] your neighbors wish to show up
[1:16:53] a council and state as
[1:16:54] eloquently as you did tonight
[1:16:56] that the water comes up to
[1:17:00] steps.
[1:17:03] They'll correctly say the same
[1:17:04] thing the doctor Nunez said
[1:17:04] that you know tonight we're
[1:17:07] talking about this one project
[1:17:08] that's
[1:17:10] desperately needed. I
[1:17:12] understand but you're going to
[1:17:13] have Council members. They're
[1:17:13] listening including your
[1:17:16] council member I think that's
[1:17:18] probably the quickest way
[1:17:18] to make this will squeak a
[1:17:19] little bit more side I just
[1:17:22] want to alert you that that
[1:17:25] there won't be another chance
[1:17:26] with a
[1:17:27] more pay and on the council
[1:17:29] that I don't know the date that
[1:17:31] unfortunately I won't
[1:17:32] be here.
[1:17:33] >> Well, maybe maybe some of
[1:17:34] your neighbors can show up and
[1:17:35] I figured you've got an
[1:17:35] opportunity to let them know
[1:17:38] about this problem, yes, but
[1:17:38] even
[1:17:39] whenever you these guys
[1:17:42] whenever they're planning on it
[1:17:43] would and that is.
[1:17:46] B common sense to just fix it.
[1:17:48] I think we're I feel like we're
[1:17:51] going to wait until they build
[1:17:52] it and
[1:17:53] then it floods or if it does
[1:17:53] and then we're going to come
[1:17:55] and then we want to try to fix
[1:17:58] a problem I would just be logic
[1:18:01] engineering too. Yeah, he
[1:18:03] thinks is flood before even
[1:18:04] creates. You to state the
[1:18:04] prospective well I I just
[1:18:07] really encourage you to say
[1:18:10] that one more time.
[1:18:16] >> Yeah, but say it one more
[1:18:19] time before Not not not to
[1:18:20] so since I haven't closed the
[1:18:23] public session.
[1:18:26] >> More thank you.
[1:18:29] Last representative come
[1:18:32] forward please.
[1:18:36] I have no authority
[1:18:39] to do anything I can make you
[1:18:40] do anything that's not what
[1:18:43] I'm asking. But having her what
[1:18:43] you just heard how do you
[1:18:46] anticipate responding to City
[1:18:47] Council when this
[1:18:49] concern about almost Neighbors
[1:18:52] up there. What do you think
[1:18:55] your response possibly pay.
[1:18:58] Really if you don't have an
[1:18:59] answer can't give an answer
[1:19:01] that's a set-piece take that as
[1:19:02] well so your
[1:19:02] question is.
[1:19:05] >> What is on core intend to do
[1:19:08] with.
[1:19:08] Drainage issues outside
[1:19:11] of on Corps property and I call
[1:19:13] it being a
[1:19:14] good neighbor. Right one thing
[1:19:15] that that if you're if I'm in
[1:19:16] front of Council and they asked
[1:19:19] that question I would say they
[1:19:21] don't court or by constructing
[1:19:24] our electrical substation we
[1:19:25] will not make it any worse.
[1:19:25] That's what I thought that that
[1:19:28] might be the newsroom. I care
[1:19:31] k.
[1:19:35] >> I would like to just
[1:19:38] elaborate a little bit of what
[1:19:39] CHAIRMAN Talked about as
[1:19:42] far as falling into the storm
[1:19:43] water management team.
[1:19:47] Do it every single time it
[1:19:50] floods not
[1:19:50] just once because they need
[1:19:53] to now depending on how much
[1:19:56] rain we get and how
[1:19:58] much flooding your scene so
[1:20:01] they can docu and it and it's
[1:20:01] not just one call.
[1:20:05] They can document how many
[1:20:07] times
[1:20:08] it actually happening and
[1:20:08] that's really important for
[1:20:11] them as far as you guys getting
[1:20:12] taken care of
[1:20:15] you know the flooding issue
[1:20:16] because they'll look at your
[1:20:17] situation and and ok there
[1:20:20] flooding every single time as
[1:20:22] compared
[1:20:23] to somebody to only floods
[1:20:24] maybe once every 6 times it
[1:20:27] rains so it's really important,
[1:20:30] I know it's a pain but it's
[1:20:32] really important to call in
[1:20:34] every single time you're
[1:20:34] flooding. So that they can
[1:20:37] document that and keep that on
[1:20:40] record
[1:20:41] ok, thanks.
[1:20:44] >> MISTER Mayor, thank
[1:20:44] commissioner winkles sorry.
[1:20:48] >> MISTER Omar, even if you
[1:20:50] can't be at City Council you
[1:20:51] can write the letter it can be
[1:20:52] PRESIDENT Of the case before
[1:20:52] City Council. So it's
[1:20:53] documented with every
[1:20:54] representative that you do have
[1:20:55] some concerns about the
[1:20:58] flooding.
[1:20:58] >> So please
[1:20:59] do that the email it's on the
[1:21:00] website how to do that you can
[1:21:02] just e-mail it to them and that
[1:21:04] way they have
[1:21:05] that documentation to support
[1:21:05] that you understand we need
[1:21:08] this but you have some
[1:21:11] concerns.
[1:21:14] >> But this time I'm going to
[1:21:17] close the public hearing.
[1:21:22] Do you have any comments
[1:21:22] amongst ourselves our motion.
[1:21:25] All right commissioner winkles
[1:21:28] have a motion.
[1:21:31] That MISTER Center commissioner
[1:21:33] center I just want
[1:21:34] to clarify.
[1:21:35] >> The applicant made a
[1:21:36] statement that they want to a
[1:21:39] foot race, rich cream or
[1:21:39] proposing an 8 foot makes for
[1:21:40] scream all. The application as
[1:21:43] 6 feet do we need to making a
[1:21:46] motion to that sounds like
[1:21:47] we do. So whoever makes a
[1:21:50] motion if killer agreeable to a
[1:21:52] foot please make the motion.
[1:21:55] Commissioner Michael would you
[1:21:56] state your
[1:21:58] motion please.
[1:21:59] >> Yes, I'd like to make a
[1:22:00] motion for pd 26 dash 0, 8,
[1:22:03] 2870's for Mitchell Parkway for
[1:22:06] approval of
[1:22:07] the jet change in zoning from
[1:22:08] residential estate to plan
[1:22:10] development for residential
[1:22:13] estate plus and electric
[1:22:14] utilities substation with a
[1:22:15] development plan including the
[1:22:16] change the recommended change
[1:22:19] from my 6 foot fence to an 8
[1:22:21] foot fence masonry.
[1:22:25] >> Commissioner Johnson is that
[1:22:28] your second second.
[1:22:34] Motion passes 8 to nothing.
[1:22:38] Thank you all for coming.
[1:22:44] Moving on our next case pd 26
[1:22:47] dash 0, 9, 20 to 45.
[1:22:48] Carter drive. Commission for
[1:22:48] approval of a planned
[1:22:51] development residential
[1:22:52] multifamily arm of 20
[1:22:53] 2 uses with the development
[1:22:56] plan on approximately 5.8 9
[1:22:58] acres. This time
[1:23:01] because staff to make his
[1:23:02] presentation
[1:23:04] MISTER Colson.
[1:23:04] >> Chair commissioners for the
[1:23:05] record the post and principal
[1:23:06] planner planning and
[1:23:06] development services we have
[1:23:09] for up to 26 dash 9 interested
[1:23:12] 20 to 45 car
[1:23:15] to drive. So
[1:23:16] currently zone rmf
[1:23:16] 22 residential multifamily 22
[1:23:18] with a request for planned
[1:23:19] development for residential.
[1:23:22] Multi-family 22 uses with a
[1:23:23] development plan.
[1:23:27] And this is just the location
[1:23:30] side to show existing
[1:23:33] cross a car to drive from the
[1:23:35] site pd 22 dash 6
[1:23:38] was approved in OCTOBER of 2023
[1:23:40] is multi-family
[1:23:43] multi-family plan development
[1:23:46] commercial component as well.
[1:23:47] And it with the comprehensive
[1:23:50] plan of this is is a
[1:23:52] development creating
[1:23:52] housing choices. In the area
[1:23:55] this does align with the goals
[1:23:56] outlined in the conference
[1:23:59] plant and is compatible with
[1:24:02] the surrounding uses.
[1:24:03] In this a 5.8 9, 9 acre
[1:24:04] site post 36 a unit
[1:24:07] multi-family development, 6
[1:24:08] units per acre
[1:24:09] as compared to the maximum
[1:24:12] forearm and 22 is 22 units per
[1:24:14] acre it will consist of 9,
[1:24:16] 2 story structures. All units
[1:24:20] will have 2 bedrooms the units
[1:24:20] will 1801,816 square feet
[1:24:23] in size with premier access
[1:24:26] being off of car to drive.
[1:24:27] There's also portion of the
[1:24:28] site is within the fema flood,
[1:24:30] plain area along the northern.
[1:24:33] And eastern
[1:24:35] property That's 20% of the
[1:24:39] that up area will maintain is a
[1:24:40] recreational
[1:24:41] area with without walking
[1:24:43] trails that would also be a dog
[1:24:44] Park in the area
[1:24:47] as well. All of the tree
[1:24:48] preservation of the site needs
[1:24:51] the requirements as far as
[1:24:52] landscape buffers
[1:24:53] the set It will mean all of
[1:24:55] those requirements all of the
[1:24:57] trees within that.
[1:24:57] Floodplain area will be
[1:25:00] preserved as they create along.
[1:25:03] Actually along both both
[1:25:05] buffers you have come our
[1:25:08] commercial zoning to the north.
[1:25:10] Cause
[1:25:10] commercial zoning and uses to
[1:25:13] the north and East almost
[1:25:16] property lines.
[1:25:17] The existing trees create a
[1:25:18] natural buffer 20 actually on
[1:25:18] the site you really can't see
[1:25:21] the if you will either one of
[1:25:21] those
[1:25:22] other sites. Looking between
[1:25:25] those trees you really can see
[1:25:25] the site.
[1:25:29] In these of the floor plans as
[1:25:30] as provided to
[1:25:31] your earlier. These are the
[1:25:32] floorplans going to assist
[1:25:34] again of 2 bedrooms a week 2
[1:25:37] and a half bath.
[1:25:38] These are the elevations
[1:25:39] again the elevation of this
[1:25:40] elevation shown here that those
[1:25:44] they're going to be too.
[1:25:44] Units
[1:25:45] that face, Carter drive they're
[1:25:47] going to consist of additional
[1:25:50] break as compared to. Those
[1:25:51] facing internal to the site.
[1:25:52] So it's going to be a
[1:25:52] multi-family development but
[1:25:54] he's going to give the
[1:25:58] appearance of townhomes.
[1:25:58] And these are just other
[1:26:01] elevations. Site photos again
[1:26:03] this is looking West on to the
[1:26:04] site or east of us are on to
[1:26:04] the site and then the next
[1:26:05] Photo you have the commercial
[1:26:08] retail centers you can see some
[1:26:10] of the trees. Only
[1:26:11] this basis, small portion from
[1:26:12] this site that you can actually
[1:26:12] see the site but if you
[1:26:14] actually interior to the site
[1:26:15] you can see
[1:26:15] all that this tree line that
[1:26:18] you see here extends down that
[1:26:22] entire life.
[1:26:23] And this is that it is an
[1:26:25] existing multifamily just south
[1:26:28] of the site.
[1:26:31] And then across this is a sign
[1:26:33] Carter from
[1:26:36] the site and again that's where
[1:26:40] the pd 22 dash o will be.
[1:26:43] Again there to for this First
[1:26:48] of which as it requires a level
[1:26:50] 2 screening in buffering
[1:26:51] has it but commercial
[1:26:54] properties on the eastern and
[1:26:55] northern property line.
[1:26:56] So they have the actual buffers
[1:26:56] again though that's going to be
[1:26:58] all floodplain area. They are
[1:27:01] touching anything in that area.
[1:27:03] Provides the recall 15 foot,
[1:27:06] let's landscapes it back on
[1:27:09] both sides which
[1:27:10] it needs. And again all of the
[1:27:13] trees within those areas it's
[1:27:15] going to there's going to be a
[1:27:16] combination of protected
[1:27:16] species and I'm not protect the
[1:27:19] species, but again the critics
[1:27:20] a natural buffer.
[1:27:23] And and what they're doing
[1:27:24] again is that they're meeting
[1:27:25] the setback requirements, but
[1:27:26] they just aren't providing the
[1:27:27] fencing along that again you
[1:27:30] have the trees which create a
[1:27:31] natural buffer.
[1:27:34] And again the site is accessed
[1:27:36] off
[1:27:36] of a Carter drive which is a
[1:27:39] minor our chair, you per the
[1:27:40] unified
[1:27:41] development code. This is a
[1:27:44] multi-family development with
[1:27:44] less
[1:27:48] units so should access off of
[1:27:51] and made the collector again
[1:27:53] card is is classified as
[1:27:54] a minor like, but again that's
[1:27:55] a that's the only access point
[1:27:57] to the size of the really can't
[1:28:01] avoid that deviation.
[1:28:01] Again
[1:28:04] this is an occasion We know
[1:28:05] about 11 notices. We did not
[1:28:08] receive any letters of support
[1:28:11] or opposition.
[1:28:12] And this
[1:28:15] 36 unit development multifamily
[1:28:17] development adjacent to a 616
[1:28:20] unit development and it
[1:28:21] generally conforms with the
[1:28:22] surrounding uses. If the
[1:28:22] planning and zoning commission
[1:28:25] is inclined to recommend
[1:28:26] approval to
[1:28:27] City Council. Staff has the
[1:28:28] following recommendations to
[1:28:31] improve the project and
[1:28:32] additional parking on the site
[1:28:35] and hear identified just some
[1:28:36] locations for potential.
[1:28:39] Additional the applicant and
[1:28:42] speaking with the applicant.
[1:28:43] And they'll speak more to in
[1:28:44] their presentation. There they
[1:28:47] are amenable to some parking
[1:28:51] and this general area.
[1:28:54] The porches in columns along
[1:28:55] car
[1:28:58] to drive, I'd be does Isis to
[1:28:58] create some variation of most
[1:28:59] the homes and wrought iron
[1:29:02] fencing be prepaid stalled
[1:29:04] along. Carter
[1:29:05] drive providing a sense of
[1:29:05] security for the residents
[1:29:06] again in speaking with the
[1:29:08] applicant. They army noble to
[1:29:11] that
[1:29:12] as well and It was mentioned
[1:29:13] an applicant was speak more to
[1:29:16] this as well as mentioned
[1:29:18] because the amenities
[1:29:18] will be they're going to
[1:29:21] provide a dog part they're
[1:29:22] going to in
[1:29:23] the floodplain area just going
[1:29:23] to keep that is an Opel open
[1:29:26] natural recreation area with
[1:29:28] trails
[1:29:29] and benches speaking to the
[1:29:32] applicant was mentioned
[1:29:32] upstairs that up and
[1:29:33] work session about possibly
[1:29:34] creating a Pavilion maybe with
[1:29:36] some grills things of that
[1:29:39] nature.
[1:29:40] Speaking with them they are
[1:29:41] amenable to doing that they
[1:29:44] would more to that in their
[1:29:45] presentation.
[1:29:48] And staff is available for any
[1:29:50] questions.
[1:29:53] Thank you. MISTER Commissioner
[1:29:56] center.
[1:29:58] >> So that's a work session
[1:30:01] sites roughly 5 little over 5
[1:30:02] acres right
[1:30:05] 5, 8, But it's incumbent with a
[1:30:07] lot of Lane
[1:30:08] gas pipelines do you know top
[1:30:08] of your head. What the
[1:30:11] developable area is.
[1:30:14] >> That
[1:30:15] I can I can't tell get say off
[1:30:18] the top of my head, but 20%
[1:30:18] roughly
[1:30:19] 51,000 square feet.
[1:30:20] >> Is in the flood plain but
[1:30:22] then you've got the gas
[1:30:24] pipeline labelle side on this
[1:30:24] is out.
[1:30:25] >> All and all along Carters
[1:30:26] will you have those so that
[1:30:27] some more than half you would
[1:30:30] think. Was isn't developed, I
[1:30:32] was safe if.
[1:30:33] If not more than at least close
[1:30:33] to somewhere in the
[1:30:36] neighborhood give or take in
[1:30:38] this is not good. No thank you.

[1:31:43] and I don't want to make a big
[1:31:43] presentation because I believe
[1:31:45] you have a lot of questions
[1:31:46] that were brought up in the
[1:31:49] world session if its would like
[1:31:50] to do
[1:31:51] more of a conversation with you
[1:31:53] if we could to address the
[1:31:55] concerns that
[1:31:55] you had and and during the
[1:31:56] conversation if there are more
[1:31:57] things that pop up and that I
[1:31:59] worked to address those as
[1:32:00] well.
[1:32:04] Just high-level on in and also
[1:32:07] forgive me because.
[1:32:07] I'm never run the system
[1:32:10] this is this my presentation
[1:32:13] that that I share with you.
[1:32:16] So forward to slide.
[1:32:22] So so the site plan
[1:32:22] that is on the on the screen at
[1:32:25] the moment, we Staff's request
[1:32:29] we added. 2 parking spaces at
[1:32:32] that location. And then in the
[1:32:33] work session, it seemed like it
[1:32:33] was it was asked if we could
[1:32:35] add a couple parking spaces
[1:32:36] over here between the bills
[1:32:38] wanted to and that's that's
[1:32:41] certainly something that we
[1:32:42] could add as well what we we're
[1:32:43] trying to do is because the
[1:32:46] parking that has been provided
[1:32:47] exceeds what was required by
[1:32:47] the city. Also know that
[1:32:50] there's a reason those numbers
[1:32:51] are established. But we also
[1:32:52] want to get neighbors. We do
[1:32:54] want to create an issue on the
[1:32:58] site for the tenants to
[1:32:59] live here. So I'm adding
[1:33:00] more parking is good. We tried
[1:33:01] to limit the amount of parking
[1:33:01] because we were trying to
[1:33:02] maximize the amount of green
[1:33:04] space that could be provided on
[1:33:07] the site. So if staff
[1:33:08] asks for right to shuttle
[1:33:09] parking worth displeasure the
[1:33:09] commissioners for us to has
[1:33:10] more parking and certainly
[1:33:12] we're going to work to add that
[1:33:15] parking.
[1:33:16] Our 2 locations that were
[1:33:19] requested for that that I would
[1:33:21] ask that I'll give you the
[1:33:22] reason why we didn't consider
[1:33:24] it it's it's here at the end
[1:33:28] and of the of our first time
[1:33:29] and then over here next
[1:33:30] to this surface lease area,
[1:33:33] those 2 spaces as as far as
[1:33:36] adding the first one
[1:33:37] right here. We would
[1:33:37] be wiping out a tree to put the
[1:33:39] parking spaces so we're trying
[1:33:43] to preserve trees. And and not
[1:33:45] put any parking there but if a
[1:33:46] if it's a pleasure of the of
[1:33:49] that mission and staffers to
[1:33:52] put parking there that that too
[1:33:53] he is a is a reasonable place
[1:33:54] to add the parking spaces it's
[1:33:55] in a good good location
[1:33:56] relative to the walking trail
[1:33:57] that out there and it could
[1:34:00] provide. There's a there's a
[1:34:02] benefit
[1:34:02] down here though the reason
[1:34:05] that I haven't put any parking
[1:34:06] in that area are reasons for
[1:34:07] developing it. It's it's not
[1:34:07] easily accessible it's a great
[1:34:08] space to pull him to but it's a
[1:34:10] hard space to try to back out
[1:34:14] of a turn around and leave.
[1:34:17] So so that's why we didn't have
[1:34:18] we do have the
[1:34:18] 2 spaces right here that are
[1:34:19] easier to get into that and
[1:34:21] then kind of 3 point turn
[1:34:25] maneuver to to to come and go
[1:34:28] so so.
[1:34:33] And providing parking spaces or
[1:34:34] or the conversation
[1:34:37] that certainly I think a couple
[1:34:37] of parking spaces there.
[1:34:41] We're already agreed to the
[1:34:43] parking spaces there.
[1:34:43] If it comes that we need to put
[1:34:44] parking they're happy to do
[1:34:47] that and I think those parking
[1:34:51] spaces would be very visible.
[1:34:54] In terms of amenities for the
[1:34:55] We again we were trying to keep
[1:34:57] the space as green as possible
[1:35:01] a week. Dog parks and be a
[1:35:06] I'm pretty useful area outdoor
[1:35:06] We we have a very large walking
[1:35:09] trail and just natural space in
[1:35:09] that floodplain area but for
[1:35:10] the residents to enjoy as well
[1:35:13] in terms of putting a Pavilion
[1:35:16] and.
[1:35:17] A grilling space that there's
[1:35:19] 50 feet in between those units.
[1:35:22] They're they're maybe space on
[1:35:23] their to add one.
[1:35:24] You know we could find
[1:35:26] somewhere here I'd like to have
[1:35:27] a little more centrally
[1:35:29] located, but if we can get
[1:35:30] something worked in that area.
[1:35:31] The our our client, the owner
[1:35:31] of the property amenable to
[1:35:34] that and that's something that
[1:35:37] we can.
[1:35:40] To work into this plan.
[1:35:45] Speaking to the variances that
[1:35:46] we had as far as fences are
[1:35:46] concerned, don't know how big
[1:35:47] of an issue that is with the
[1:35:48] commissioners if if you'd like
[1:35:51] me to speak about that more
[1:35:52] happy to if it's not an issue
[1:35:54] that I would like to respect
[1:35:55] your time and.
[1:35:58] And talk about other parts of
[1:36:01] the project.
[1:36:07] >> I would
[1:36:08] like to The reasoning by not
[1:36:10] getting the the community cause
[1:36:11] the other communities around
[1:36:14] you. The built ones in the
[1:36:14] planned ones in
[1:36:15] the future Earl are gated
[1:36:18] community. So what's the reason
[1:36:18] for not
[1:36:19] doing here.
[1:36:19] >> So so the first reason for
[1:36:20] for not getting it is and which
[1:36:23] is also the reason why we don't
[1:36:26] have a fence along card.
[1:36:29] The reason we had shown a fence
[1:36:32] along Carter is in it to the
[1:36:35] staff Staff.
[1:36:36] Point in their The property is
[1:36:36] encumbered with several gas
[1:36:39] pipelines and right away that
[1:36:39] go with that
[1:36:40] the entirety of our the draw
[1:36:43] this line is shown on the plan,
[1:36:46] but it's roughly right all
[1:36:46] right through here is
[1:36:49] everything over here is in
[1:36:51] fact.
[1:36:51] Right away for pipeline.
[1:36:54] So we have coordinated with
[1:36:55] summit midstream about this
[1:36:58] development in terms of their
[1:36:59] surface least that's
[1:37:00] right here. All of their
[1:37:01] pipelines they have no
[1:37:03] objections to what we're
[1:37:04] proposing as as far as that
[1:37:05] we're building and how we're
[1:37:06] going to screen their their
[1:37:06] service space which will speak
[1:37:09] about that that gravel spaces.
[1:37:12] If we get permission from them
[1:37:13] to put the game are put to the
[1:37:15] fans, it's a lot harder, then
[1:37:17] we'd love to
[1:37:18] put that the wrought iron fence
[1:37:19] there it would look nice it
[1:37:22] would give the sense security
[1:37:24] we just.
[1:37:24] Because we don't have a a lot
[1:37:25] of space on the north side of
[1:37:28] the site long it floodplain to
[1:37:31] have a.
[1:37:32] Have Gates and truly have
[1:37:32] everything from insecure we
[1:37:35] just will propose and have a
[1:37:38] fence or have a gated.
[1:37:39] I would be willing to believe
[1:37:40] that if and I did not have to
[1:37:42] have this conversation with my
[1:37:43] client but if if it came
[1:37:46] back that it was the pleasure
[1:37:47] of the commission staff for
[1:37:48] this too the truly gated and if
[1:37:50] we were able to get permission
[1:37:51] from some of the extreme to
[1:37:52] actually a place that because
[1:37:54] it would be located in the
[1:37:55] right of way then and I
[1:37:55] believe that something that
[1:37:58] would be incorporated into this
[1:38:00] project.
[1:38:03] >> Continue along those lines,
[1:38:05] you know.
[1:38:06] Thank you for attending work
[1:38:10] session upstairs parking is a
[1:38:11] concern. But
[1:38:12] commissioner centers you know a
[1:38:15] really important point even if
[1:38:18] there were no fence anywhere.
[1:38:19] Having that
[1:38:19] gated controls a number of cars
[1:38:22] to get into this neighborhood.
[1:38:25] And
[1:38:30] I just As as we think through
[1:38:31] this process. If it's gated.
[1:38:34] Maybe parking isn't that big of
[1:38:37] an issue anymore.
[1:38:44] >> What do you think of that
[1:38:45] thought well I think there's an
[1:38:46] there's an opportunity to
[1:38:46] educate the community whether
[1:38:49] its offense within the easement
[1:38:51] which I probably think is not
[1:38:52] the best solution because they
[1:38:53] don't want it there and I know
[1:38:55] that for a fact you can put it
[1:38:57] outside
[1:38:58] their easement Tory to create a
[1:39:01] gated community that secure for
[1:39:02] the residences.
[1:39:05] You know the densities way less
[1:39:05] than what is allowed in the
[1:39:08] current zoning which we applaud
[1:39:09] you for doing
[1:39:10] I'm quite frankly, I'm glad you
[1:39:13] could make a deal work with
[1:39:14] that many unit,
[1:39:17] so as CHAIRMAN Mentioned in the
[1:39:20] work session. We
[1:39:22] want quality we want
[1:39:22] to create a sense of community
[1:39:25] that's with the amenities the
[1:39:28] gathering spaces for these
[1:39:31] people to to live socialize
[1:39:32] feeling, sick, you're safe and
[1:39:33] where they live so I think
[1:39:35] those are important elements
[1:39:38] that. You don't need to be
[1:39:39] reflected on on
[1:39:40] your design. So that's why
[1:39:43] we're we're bringing these up
[1:39:45] both in work session and now
[1:39:48] for you to kind of think about
[1:39:51] and digest.
[1:39:57] >> a little the additional
[1:39:58] information as far as the.
[1:39:59] The area. That's that's the
[1:40:01] surface lease. But for for the
[1:40:05] gas equipment.
[1:40:06] Heard in
[1:40:09] in the the work session, it's
[1:40:10] not a gas. Well there's not
[1:40:10] working equipped there this is
[1:40:11] actually it's for the
[1:40:14] maintenance of the pipelines if
[1:40:15] anybody is familiar with a
[1:40:16] pig water. You know that that's
[1:40:17] what this is where the pipeline
[1:40:18] actually comes on the ground is
[1:40:21] place where they can access it
[1:40:23] and then the launch.
[1:40:24] I want to pay in the thing and
[1:40:25] it's are testing the pipeline's
[1:40:27] keeping things clean stuff like
[1:40:28] that. So it's that's what
[1:40:31] this is that that our project
[1:40:34] is being developed around.
[1:40:38] >> When you are discussing this
[1:40:41] case where staff
[1:40:42] did anyone. Here in recommend
[1:40:45] that you speak to sue Phillips.
[1:40:49] >> I have to and he's on
[1:40:52] my face and I just sent an
[1:40:54] e-mail to MS.
[1:40:55] Phillips apologizing. That one
[1:40:55] it's it's terrible terrible
[1:40:56] mistake on our part to not have
[1:40:58] reached out to I have reached
[1:40:58] out to her now. And most
[1:41:03] certainly want to sit down and
[1:41:03] Apologize in person for that of
[1:41:06] course, but also get feedback
[1:41:09] from her as far as the city
[1:41:10] staff certainly did
[1:41:12] their job. I'll have to own and
[1:41:13] I did not I missed that one.
[1:41:14] >> Well thank you for for
[1:41:16] saying that and I appreciate
[1:41:18] you.
[1:41:21] Being forthcoming so here's
[1:41:22] where I'm coming from I said
[1:41:24] upstairs and sat down here
[1:41:26] during the public session.
[1:41:26] Number one I really think it
[1:41:28] ought to be gated and I think
[1:41:31] that you need to if I'm away
[1:41:32] putting
[1:41:32] Gates into early little bit
[1:41:35] further so that you don't
[1:41:39] encroach upon that gas. A gas
[1:41:42] I think that can
[1:41:43] be done. The second thing is
[1:41:46] because these are all going to
[1:41:47] be fire lines as we spoke
[1:41:48] upstairs parking. He's going to
[1:41:52] be legal anywhere and on those
[1:41:53] streets.
[1:41:54] We're concerned that if there
[1:41:57] are family functions that
[1:42:00] occurred
[1:42:01] parking could be an issue so I
[1:42:04] think you know that you're in
[1:42:05] need to come back to us with
[1:42:06] that us a tweet plan because I
[1:42:09] want this project to be built.
[1:42:12] Don't get me wrong this is a
[1:42:14] great project.
[1:42:15] I applaud you for having to
[1:42:18] deal with all the easements in
[1:42:18] the
[1:42:22] flood plain. It needs to be
[1:42:23] tweaked just a little bit.
[1:42:26] One of the tweaks is a gate
[1:42:29] second tweet is finding some
[1:42:30] additional parking and the
[1:42:33] 3rd tweak if anyone more
[1:42:34] amenity and I don't care what
[1:42:35] it, yes, sue Phelps might be
[1:42:38] able to help you with that with
[1:42:41] that. But whether it's a
[1:42:43] covered billion or whether
[1:42:44] something else. But the concept
[1:42:45] that I want you to remember
[1:42:47] because we were sent here and
[1:42:49] they'll say the council you're
[1:42:53] creating a community. And if
[1:42:53] you're going to create a
[1:42:54] community that needs to be some
[1:42:56] way for these people to get
[1:42:58] together and a
[1:42:59] walking trail. Although I
[1:43:01] applaud you for that punch the
[1:43:02] dog Park. It's
[1:43:06] not enough. I think there needs
[1:43:06] to be an evening gathering
[1:43:07] kind of place and it doesn't
[1:43:09] need to be expensive but it
[1:43:13] doesn't be anything
[1:43:13] you know. I looked at the
[1:43:14] rear elevations of some of the
[1:43:15] Center for those sliding glass
[1:43:18] doors, I mean that lead to the
[1:43:21] back.
[1:43:24] Double the worst like that for
[1:43:25] the most part but there's a but
[1:43:26] there are doors that lead to
[1:43:28] the back and so come back that
[1:43:31] slide before that the layout
[1:43:33] so imagine any one of
[1:43:33] these buildings. Especially
[1:43:34] towards the northern part where
[1:43:37] you've got all this green space
[1:43:37] which
[1:43:38] is fantastic. You've got all
[1:43:41] these double doors opening up
[1:43:44] to a common space.
[1:43:48] And what can neighbors do
[1:43:49] inside of that common
[1:43:50] It maybe so maybe it's a
[1:43:52] sidewalk that goes up and down
[1:43:54] through there maybe it's just a
[1:43:56] gazebo is shade people can sit
[1:43:58] out there have a glass
[1:44:00] of wine. It doesn't need to be
[1:44:01] high and but it needs to be
[1:44:04] solid so that's my suggestion
[1:44:07] because.
[1:44:10] Right now what I'm what I'm
[1:44:11] way towards the
[1:44:12] continuance for you to come
[1:44:15] back having tweak this plan but
[1:44:17] my thoughts how different the
[1:44:18] other commissioners, maybe they
[1:44:20] don't feel the same way I do,
[1:44:24] but that's how I feel.
[1:44:25] I would go as we want to
[1:44:28] thank goodness gotten him once
[1:44:29] in a
[1:44:31] >> Real quick a question for
[1:44:32] the applicant if you visit with
[1:44:35] the pipeline operator at the
[1:44:35] site.
[1:44:39] >> Yes Sir MISTER Summit
[1:44:40] midstream to respond to all
[1:44:40] of us.
[1:44:41] >> Yes and and have they
[1:44:44] advised to whether or not they
[1:44:44] would sign off on a
[1:44:47] key between on that area
[1:44:48] between them and this
[1:44:49] pick launching.
[1:44:50] >> So so the answer that is no
[1:44:51] because we didn't have a gate
[1:44:54] in our plan I can go back to
[1:44:55] Justin and and talk with them
[1:44:56] about that. It's been our
[1:44:56] experience in the past with
[1:44:59] with Gates on because because
[1:45:00] the
[1:45:01] the pipeline. They they were
[1:45:02] still maintaining access to all
[1:45:05] of their facilities, yes this
[1:45:06] if we
[1:45:06] were to located again and just
[1:45:07] just in the pipeline world and
[1:45:09] other projects that we work on
[1:45:11] as long as they
[1:45:12] have okay Keiko where they can
[1:45:13] get in and out I wouldn't
[1:45:14] expect that to be an issue and
[1:45:15] certainly if we have a wide net
[1:45:17] for them to be able to get the
[1:45:18] truck in that I would
[1:45:19] expect that.
[1:45:22] >> I was just I'm just
[1:45:25] concerned because you.
[1:45:26] You've got a lot of
[1:45:26] location there between you and
[1:45:29] the property so I I just I want
[1:45:30] the
[1:45:33] know that that MAY be something
[1:45:37] that's beyond the
[1:45:37] applicants can trolls so
[1:45:38] obviously would advise you to
[1:45:40] to get a sign off from them
[1:45:41] before you have to move
[1:45:45] forward, but just just to make
[1:45:45] sure that's clear I I didn't
[1:45:46] realize the gate discussion was
[1:45:49] coming up today, so I didn't
[1:45:52] brief and I didn't either so.
[1:45:54] I also think you
[1:45:55] should do.
[1:45:55] >> Continues and make sure to
[1:45:56] talk more with the community
[1:45:58] especially starlink and renewal
[1:46:01] and.
[1:46:02] But one of the things
[1:46:03] that needs to be added and
[1:46:03] they're not only the facing
[1:46:06] towards the main thoroughfare,
[1:46:08] there.
[1:46:12] You've got the makings of a
[1:46:15] really cool apartment.
[1:46:16] And if you made them more like
[1:46:16] individual townhomes where
[1:46:19] there was a lot of variance not
[1:46:22] monotonous.
[1:46:25] For playing on across her up
[1:46:26] for plans, facing going across
[1:46:27] and and really very that you
[1:46:28] can make something really nice
[1:46:30] and that's what we're looking
[1:46:33] for and understood.
[1:46:34] >> I don't
[1:46:34] always like I do not want to
[1:46:37] say, but you know and say
[1:46:38] understood but
[1:46:41] but but in this case the
[1:46:42] low-density that
[1:46:44] we have and and there there is
[1:46:46] a price point that we have to
[1:46:49] in terms of the cost of
[1:46:49] construction has got to speak
[1:46:50] with our architect on it and as
[1:46:51] far as colors and things like
[1:46:52] that making making the
[1:46:53] buildings more interesting that
[1:46:54] way. They're certainly work
[1:46:57] that can be done in terms of
[1:47:00] and build a relatively small
[1:47:02] for what we're doing so if
[1:47:02] already by right we can be
[1:47:03] multi-family with none of the
[1:47:06] articulation that would that
[1:47:06] would really be required.
[1:47:07] We're trying to make something
[1:47:10] special here and we want to
[1:47:11] make it just as nice as
[1:47:13] possible. But we're we're
[1:47:14] limited to how far that nice
[1:47:15] can go a point well taken and
[1:47:17] I'm certain we'll take that
[1:47:20] back
[1:47:21] to architect.
[1:47:22] >> Well that you will probably
[1:47:22] get that same feedback from
[1:47:24] City Council know p probably
[1:47:25] cover clear here.
[1:47:25] >> I understand you all have
[1:47:28] been very kind by the way we
[1:47:31] should. Commissioner Johnson.
[1:47:33] >> I just have a quick question
[1:47:34] MISTER Hamilton I want to
[1:47:37] understand your vision as well
[1:47:41] as possible. Who do you
[1:47:41] consider
[1:47:43] your target enter on You think
[1:47:46] an empty nesters are you
[1:47:47] thinking families with children
[1:47:50] there what who you're going
[1:47:52] after here and there in
[1:47:53] your mind.
[1:47:53] >> So so so we were targeting
[1:47:54] families with children or we
[1:47:55] would put playground amenities
[1:47:55] things like that
[1:47:59] >> in here we're looking more
[1:48:00] for just an empty nester are.
[1:48:02] Young professional something of
[1:48:02] that nature that just they
[1:48:03] don't need a lot of space they
[1:48:04] don't want a lot of room to
[1:48:06] know that they have to take
[1:48:06] care of its just a a nice
[1:48:08] place it feels like a home,
[1:48:09] it's not up that don't feel
[1:48:10] like an apartment multi-family
[1:48:12] so we're trying to make
[1:48:13] something just. For young
[1:48:16] professional or an empty
[1:48:19] nester.
[1:48:22] Great question to ask.
[1:48:26] >> I think I'm in agreement
[1:48:29] >> lean continue just to give
[1:48:30] you a chance to talk with
[1:48:33] Suu Phillips.
[1:48:34] >> And you're here thoughts
[1:48:35] >> I think I would be ok if if
[1:48:37] the gate fall soon you're not
[1:48:40] able to get and I think it's
[1:48:41] still a good project and.
[1:48:44] I think if you could make the
[1:48:45] changes with some amenities and
[1:48:46] there and tying it together
[1:48:46] some sidewalks and those green
[1:48:48] spaces I think that that would
[1:48:51] look great.
[1:48:54] Just wanted to say
[1:48:55] congratulations for finding an
[1:48:56] undeveloped piece of property
[1:48:59] is zoned rmf 22. I'm sure
[1:49:00] that's not very
[1:49:01] >> It be worth noting are sort
[1:49:04] our client has owned this
[1:49:06] property for many
[1:49:07] many years. So is it wasn't a
[1:49:09] speculative thing he sees that
[1:49:10] makes more sense that yeah.
[1:49:13] >> That this was for sale it
[1:49:16] would have gone a long time
[1:49:17] yeah so
[1:49:17] I appreciate all so you're we
[1:49:19] can make and it's a quality
[1:49:22] project. Yeah just what you
[1:49:25] know my thoughts.

[1:49:28] conversation and just to help
[1:49:31] me understand.
[1:49:32] I understand I'm
[1:49:35] hearing continuances Yes,
[1:49:36] because you're in my in my
[1:49:36] asked for anything else I have
[1:49:37] a feeling that I would get a
[1:49:40] break in the action for your
[1:49:41] very correctly and let
[1:49:41] me make the process a little
[1:49:42] shorter and any time that
[1:49:43] you're speaking if you want to
[1:49:44] say the U.S., you know I'd like
[1:49:44] to request a continuance we
[1:49:47] have to give it to him
[1:49:50] understood.
[1:49:56] Well because we haven't had any
[1:49:59] other speakers yet.
[1:50:01] Got to go through that
[1:50:03] anything else you want to say
[1:50:04] any other questions. You're
[1:50:07] going have an opportunity to
[1:50:10] come back.
[1:50:19] Well look computer minutes.
[1:50:21] All right. Are there any
[1:50:22] other speakers in in support of
[1:50:23] this project that are here
[1:50:26] tonight. Are there any speakers
[1:50:29] in opposition.
[1:50:31] Is there anyone who hasn't had
[1:50:34] an opportunity to speak that
[1:50:37] would like to speak.
[1:50:39] Sir if you have any last
[1:50:42] comments you're welcome to come
[1:50:46] up here and make your case.
[1:50:47] I just have to go through
[1:50:47] all the legal mumbo jumbos
[1:50:48] appreciate that I've learned if
[1:50:50] I'm given an opportunity to
[1:50:51] speak out better.
[1:50:55] So thank you for that it again
[1:50:55] if
[1:50:56] if if if our only option moving
[1:50:57] forward is continuous that I'm
[1:50:59] going to ask for that
[1:51:01] continues, I wasn't sure if
[1:51:03] there was if it would be the
[1:51:06] pleasure of of this commission
[1:51:08] to to prove with
[1:51:08] the comments are or you go back
[1:51:09] to staff and you get reconciled
[1:51:12] between now and City Council
[1:51:12] then that
[1:51:15] I would've I would ask for that
[1:51:16] to happen to allow the project
[1:51:16] to move forward but in all
[1:51:19] honesty we've been we've been
[1:51:19] working on this
[1:51:20] project for better part of the
[1:51:23] year now. So I don't want to
[1:51:25] mess that up.
[1:51:26] But trying to rush anything now
[1:51:27] are trying to keep something
[1:51:27] going for a couple more weeks
[1:51:28] so. If a continuance is what I
[1:51:29] need to ask for them.
[1:51:35] For so when
[1:51:35] what we've just for your
[1:51:38] edification at least for for
[1:51:40] into what we've
[1:51:40] learned is that whenever a
[1:51:41] payday comes a plan development
[1:51:43] come with a development plan
[1:51:43] comes in front
[1:51:47] of us. It has to be.
[1:51:50] We have to know exactly what
[1:51:53] we're voting.
[1:51:55] We've made a mistake in the
[1:51:56] past or trying to do active
[1:51:59] negotiation during a meeting
[1:52:01] and we don't want to do that.
[1:52:02] And that's why I think
[1:52:03] continues works well in this
[1:52:07] situation said when you come
[1:52:08] back you're going to tell us
[1:52:09] exactly what. Because that's
[1:52:12] what he does for we don't watch
[1:52:16] it too. Work with staff and
[1:52:17] then try to go to Council
[1:52:17] because we don't know what's
[1:52:20] going to come out of that
[1:52:22] process and we can't
[1:52:22] advise Council read by
[1:52:25] everybody we take that
[1:52:26] seriously 10 years is easier
[1:52:28] for us because when you come
[1:52:31] back in week. Give you a 9 to
[1:52:32] nothing vote hopefully
[1:52:34] next time. Council can look at
[1:52:35] that and they're not going to
[1:52:36] be if this is very difficult to
[1:52:38] say no to 9 to nothing vote
[1:52:41] from the spot.
[1:52:42] I'm
[1:52:43] not not saying it's impossible.
[1:52:46] Yeah know they can totally
[1:52:47] River she has 9 to
[1:52:47] 0 a problem.
[1:52:50] >> Real real quick. I'm sorry I
[1:52:53] never got an
[1:52:54] answer Jeff I Hamilton MISTER
[1:52:54] Hamilton yes, I just want to
[1:52:57] make want to be clear for the
[1:53:00] record. You
[1:53:01] have to 2 writes no you don't
[1:53:01] have to have to request a
[1:53:02] continuous tonight you can
[1:53:02] certainly ask for a vote
[1:53:04] tonight, but I think you've
[1:53:07] heard from the commission kind
[1:53:08] of their concerns
[1:53:10] and up we know which way the
[1:53:11] vote would go if the vote is to
[1:53:13] night tonight. They don't
[1:53:14] recommend recommend you going
[1:53:15] forward you can request a
[1:53:17] hearing before the pnc but I
[1:53:18] would
[1:53:21] advise you Council before
[1:53:23] Council us before
[1:53:26] Council sorry but I do need to
[1:53:28] let you know that that time
[1:53:29] period within be a initial 2
[1:53:30] weeks waiting for that hearing
[1:53:32] to take place and then staff
[1:53:35] would have to then post that
[1:53:38] notice which would set you
[1:53:40] back quite probably 6 weeks
[1:53:41] versus I think the commission's
[1:53:42] been very clear with you if you
[1:53:42] request it continue its
[1:53:46] tonight. The new control your
[1:53:49] own destiny and you know
[1:53:52] believe when this staff
[1:53:53] recommending if if they were
[1:53:55] continuous granted the U.S. And
[1:53:57] this is an issue
[1:53:58] all kids I could hear this and
[1:53:59] then have it something prepared
[1:54:01] I think realistically the
[1:54:03] OCTOBER 7th.
[1:54:04] So you'd be looking at OCTOBER
[1:54:05] 7th that if it was continue
[1:54:08] date certain. Which would
[1:54:11] definitely be.
[1:54:14] I mean the only other option
[1:54:15] would literally be to put you
[1:54:18] if if you are tonight tonight
[1:54:20] it was appealed
[1:54:20] the council. You practically
[1:54:22] could get on the 29th of
[1:54:25] SEPTEMBER for Council. But then
[1:54:26] at that time they would have to
[1:54:29] send a new notice which means
[1:54:32] you would be after. The OCTOBER
[1:54:33] date that he just
[1:54:33] that those those you 2 options
[1:54:35] make sure it's clear that you
[1:54:38] have 2 options. I appreciate
[1:54:41] that so.
[1:54:43] >> a caution for the for the
[1:54:44] sake of clarity I would like to
[1:54:47] request a continuance to allow
[1:54:48] us to work with staff and this
[1:54:50] Phillips. Good bring you a
[1:54:53] better product next month.
[1:54:55] Very much appreciate it.
[1:54:59] >> Therefore this time I want
[1:55:00] to close the public session.

[1:56:52] the conference of plan the area
[1:56:52] should focus on very low
[1:56:53] density single-family
[1:56:54] residential while the proposed
[1:56:54] development is not alive with
[1:56:57] the designated future
[1:56:58] development plans for

[1:57:04] with the existing surrounding
[1:57:06] land uses when the U.S. To
[1:57:08] 87 corridor strategic plan this
[1:57:08] project does align with
[1:57:09] redeveloping underutilized
[1:57:11] areas and improving areas and
[1:57:13] decline.
[1:57:16] The proposed development
