[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.

[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

[44:53] next case.

[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.

[1:30:41] Any other questions at this

[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

[1:49:28] 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.

[1:55:04] motion from commissioner Blake.

[1:56:54] development is not alive with

[1:56:57] the designated future

[1:57:08] project does align with
