22
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,560

25
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:28,319
Yes, sir.
Okay.

26
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:34,160
» This has some interesting circumstances.
Would you fill us in, please?

27
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:37,519
» Yes, sir. This ABSU already exists and
uh if I remember our conversation

28
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:40,400
correctly, they want to improve upon the
structure and they really can't do that

29
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,800
until they come into current code. So,
basically, they're asking for

30
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:45,120
forgiveness and not necessarily
permission.

31
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,840
» And this was like the one we dealt with
last last time with the compliance

32
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,560
issue, bringing it up to zoning so they
could do the improvement. wanting to

33
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,560
come into the current compliance. Yes,
sir.

34
00:02:52,879 --> 00:03:00,599
» Perfect. Thank you. Um, Mr. Rodriguez,
did you wish to speak on this?

35
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:14,000
Greetings, Board of Adjustment. My name
is Joe Rodriguez, 110 South Garden View.

36
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,760
Uh, my statements this evening are a
matter of public record. I respectfully

37
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:21,680
will communicate uh some questions
specific to 102 South Garden View

38
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:27,200
surrounding correlations and the
variance being requested setback

39
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:31,920
sideyards. Per the uh city uh Castle
Hills publication to date this 102 South

40
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Garden View property is set for STR
short-term rental permit starting March

41
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:42,480
1, 2026. concerns, correlations
and other due to laws, ordinances

42
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:47,200
involving zoning, architecture review
committee, board of adjustment here at

43
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:52,159
BOA. Setback sideyard is a component
part of things going to occur at this

44
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:56,319
property address. Land and buildings
covering more than 66 and twothirds of

45
00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:00,720
the property. drainage, impervious,
pvious cover, safety pool, fencing,

46
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:05,200
volumes of trash placed, where what is
near that are affecting setback

47
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:09,040
sideyard. As the city of Castle Hills is
conducting legal recording or

48
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,319
documentation of this meeting, it should
be noted that a multitude of activity

49
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,639
will be growing on South Garden View
because of existing problems. Castle

50
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,799
Hills Police Department has selective
documented incidents and dates of many

51
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,680
sorts due to the property and/or trust
owners at 108 South Garden View having

52
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,880
rented to non-family. It's pool cabana.
It seems to be a halfway house with

53
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:34,080
questionable and always suspicious
business ops occurring all hours of the

54
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,440
day and night 24 by7. Vagrants and other
suspicious hood covered sunglasses

55
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:41,280
loading and unloading with different
vehicles parking in multiple residences

56
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:45,520
dropping and picking up backpacks,
packages, strangers lurking in the

57
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:50,160
shadows, accessing the cabana at 108
South Garden View 24 by7. The many

58
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:54,080
people occupying this cabana like
building are not caretakers or any sort

59
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:59,440
of medical assistance in any form or
manner. Possible subleting also seems to

60
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,880
exist. The property and/or trust owners
will try to escape and manipulate

61
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:08,080
castills ordinances and more ongoing
whenever questioned or asked. Another

62
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:13,120
STR short-term rental located at 116
South Garden View also slated I guess

63
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:19,440
from temp to renewal starting March 1,
2026. that is on South Garden View again

64
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:24,000
with the uh specifics to 102 South
Garden View setback sideyards.

65
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:28,320
Should residents taxpayers safety
security be of top concern? How would

66
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,160
you prioritize public safety security
when it is tied to variances which also

67
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:36,479
has correlations
to other ordinances and laws? Please

68
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,080
share these public record questions and
statements for the safety and security

69
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,840
of your Castle Hills taxpayers and
residents. Everyone, thank you for the

70
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,039
allotted time slot within this public
hearing.

71
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:53,479
» Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez. Um, April,
would you like to come up, please? Or

72
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,479
Mo, you're going to do it. Okay.

73
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:03,039
» Uh, good evening.
>> Thank you. Do you have any questions of

74
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:06,080
Mr. Lazarus as a homeowner?
>> No. Let me finish them on.

75
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,360
» Pardon me.
>> I want to hear him all. Okay,

76
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:15,520
» that's it.
Who? Who? There's no one else to speak.

77
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,520
No.
>> Okay. Did you have any questions of the

78
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,520
homeowner?

79
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:28,880
» Good evening, sir. Um, number two on
your application, you mentioned in 2008

80
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:34,479
when the garage was built, the setbacks
were 5 to 8 ft. That was the that was

81
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,880
the standard then?
>> Yes, it was.

82
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:43,199
So Lou, in 2008, this structure was in
compliance.

83
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,560
» So I can't speak to what happened in
2008, but I can tell you that the

84
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:51,039
current code says that a sideyard
setback is 10 ft. And then it also has

85
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:54,880
to be an ABSU has to be 10 ft from the
principal structure or other ABSUs.

86
00:06:53,039 --> 00:07:02,560
That's what the current code says.
>> Okay. So 2008, you're in compliance. Now

87
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:07,120
the code has changed to 10. You're not
adding to this building. You're you're

88
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:10,560
doing stuff inside the current
structure.

89
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:20,560
» What we're doing is converting a garage
into a studio for my proper use. I am an

90
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:25,039
artist. I paint and I design sculptures.
Some of them are on the grounds of city

91
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:30,160
hall. That's it.
>> Okay. Thank you. Oh, and then do we have

92
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,560
any letters for this
>> from neighbors or?

93
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:38,000
» I didn't receive any letters. Did you,
ma'am? Okay.

94
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:41,039
Uh, Zach, did you have any questions,
Zach?

95
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,360
» I don't have any questions. Thank you.
>> Thank you,

96
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,960
Ian. Okay. Thank you very much.
>> I would like to thank the board for

97
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,560
taking the time to review our
application. Thank you.

98
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:57,759
» Thank you. The motion's been made and
seconded. All in favor?

99
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,120
» Thank you. It's unanimous. Thank you
very much.

100
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:08,960
Uh the next item is a public hearing on
a request from Van Garcia for a variant

101
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:14,720
sideyard spacing setback between ABSU
principal structure on a property

102
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:21,599
located at 111 Hibiscus as published in
the agenda. Um again I am going to

103
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:25,440
without objection I'm going to open the
public hearing, close the public hearing

104
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:33,839
and then hear public comments on the
item itself. Um, it is now 5:38.

105
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:40,719
Public hearing is now open.
If there's no comment in public hearing,

106
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:47,440
538 and a half and it's closed. Um,
item number five,

107
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:54,320
is that right? Yeah. Item number six,
uh, discussion possible action, uh, to

108
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:59,279
request from Van Garcia. ABSU request
setbacks as published on the agenda.

109
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:04,160
Um,
is there a motion for this one, please?

110
00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:09,120
Thank you, Mr. Lopez.
Ian's made the second.

111
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:14,920
Um,
Van, you want to come up or Jane or

112
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,920
who'sever's doing this?

113
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:26,000
» Good evening. Van Garcia, 111 Hibiscus
Lane. Um,

114
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:30,320
other other than what's presented in the
presentation,

115
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:35,600
um, I'm requesting that there be a a
change in the setback for a building

116
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:39,519
that I'd like to put on my property. Um,
way back when when the house was built,

117
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:44,959
as you can see in the documents, that
the offsets were 9 foot on either side.

118
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:52,959
And now with today's rural residential,
they're 25 feet. My my piece of property

119
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:56,399
is 73 feet wide. So, you take 50 ft off
of that, that gives me 23 feet right in

120
00:09:54,959 --> 00:10:04,480
the middle of the yard to put something
up. I got a beautiful view from my back

121
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:08,800
porch, 365 ft to my back fence. If I put
that right in the middle of my yard, I

122
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:14,800
won't have a view at all. Um, so I'd
like to offset it to what would be the

123
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:19,760
east side of the property and I would
like to put it 5 ft off the fence line

124
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:25,440
at that point.
>> Okay. Thank you. Are are there any

125
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:31,040
letters uh on this item?
>> We do have one that was received an

126
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:35,279
email from Mr. Jean Kelly.
Um, the letter reads, "Good morning,

127
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,519
Louie. My name is Jean Kelly and I
reside at 112 West Castle Lane. This

objection to his plans. Please feel free

133
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:03,200
in this matter.
>> Thank you very much. Uh Van, you want to

134
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,120
step back for just a second. Peter, did
you want to make a comment? Thank you.

135
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:13,920
» I I would like to say one more thing.
There were two submitts. Um Susie Moody

146
00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:00,600
I'm sorry.

» Do you have your mic on, sir?
>> He wants to build further back.

151
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:30,800

backyard. The question is the side

152
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:34,959
sideyard setback. He has a long thin lot
and if he adheres to the 25 ft setback

153
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:39,200
on either side, he's going to have a
literally a 20ft structure. So he wants

154
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:43,120
to can it over to the east close.
>> And how close is he going to be to the

155
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,720
property line?
>> Five.

156
00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:47,440
» He'll be 5 ft.
>> And there Yeah. And there's no neighbor

157
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:52,200
there.
>> Okay. Yeah, that's all I wanted to know.

158
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,200
Thank you.

159
00:12:53,600 --> 00:13:01,040
» Go ahead. Who's on the
the east property line?

160
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,920
What's that?
>> Who's on the east property line? You

161
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:08,480
said there there's
>> Yeah, I don't know the name of the owner

162
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:12,720
there, but there is no house at that
structure there. No, it's it's all these

163
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:19,680
lots are oneacre lots and there's
nothing on the back of the other lot.

164
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:26,480
» And Susie Booty is on this side and her
house is a full 250 ft.

165
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:32,160
No, we're not going to.
Any other questions?

166
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:36,800
Zach, do you have any questions?
>> Sure. Uh, for the homeowner, I guess the

167
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:41,680
only question was why the east side of
the lot versus the west. I the

168
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:48,240
orientation offset makes sense to me. I
was just curious if there was background

169
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:52,880
to one side versus the other.
>> A good question. So, from the way my

170
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:56,240
house is situated, the right hand side
of the house or the east side of the

171
00:13:54,160 --> 00:14:01,120
house is our master bedroom. And there
are no windows looking north to the far

172
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:05,199
end of the property, but you go to the
west side of the house where the kitchen

173
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:09,600
and dining room is. We have windows
there that look out over over the

174
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:13,600
property. So, on the east side or the
right hand side of the property, it

175
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:17,519
would be h not hidden. Now, you still be
able to see some of it, but the vast

176
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:22,800
majority of the building would be offset
and not visible to our view from the

177
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:25,519
kitchen or the back porch.
>> Anything else?

178
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,560
» Thank you.
>> You okay?

179
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:34,079
» I'm fine. Thank you,
>> Ian.

180
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:38,959
» I was going to ask uh was it what was
the dimensions? I didn't clearly see

181
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,839
that. There was a a box drawn for 30 by
30.

182
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:45,120
» Yes.
>> And a box drawn for 40 by 40. So the the

183
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:48,639
the plan is a 30 by30 building.
>> Okay.

184
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:53,920
» And the 40x40 is a the an extension of
the the foundation for parking pad for

185
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:59,040
because I don't a little more to the
story. I bought the house in 1999. It

186
00:14:56,959 --> 00:15:05,760
does not have a garage. It never did
have a garage. And so way I I don't know

187
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:11,040
2016 2014 we had a hail storm. It total
two of our cars. So we just bought we

188
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:15,279
both bought new to us cars. and we don't
want that to happen again. So, it we're

189
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:19,760
trying to find a way to protect those
things as well as lawn equipment and

190
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,680
other things that I need to be putting
away instead of just pack parking out in

191
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:29,600
the yard.
>> Understood. So, the 45 40x40 is the

192
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,279
concrete pad. Yes, sir. 30 by 30 is the
structure.

193
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,320
» Yes, sir.
>> But both are going to be 5 foot offset.

194
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,880
» Yes, sir.
>> Okay.

195
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,560
No further questions.
>> No further questions. Motion

196
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:45,760
» one for for Louis. So it shows that he's
going to be 16 feet tall. Is that

197
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:51,120
within
the the rules that we have here?

198
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:56,079
» 16 code says that an ABSU uh can only be
35 ft in height or no higher than a

199
00:15:53,920 --> 00:16:01,199
principal structure, whichever is less.
And so that 16T is less than his

200
00:15:58,079 --> 00:16:03,440
principal structure.
So he's he's legal.

201
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,040
» Okay. So it's legal.
>> Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, we have that

202
00:16:05,199 --> 00:16:12,000
letter on. Mr. Of course, he is going to
let uh the city secretary read the

203
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:18,680
second letter. You can go ahead.
>> Go ahead.

204
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:18,680
» This is from the neighbor on the west.

205
00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:25,079
» This is from Susie Moody.

206
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:35,680
This is Susie Moody at 303 Foxh Hall
Lane. I am fine with Van and Jane adding

207
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:42,959
the building. If you have any questions,
feel free to call me or email her. She

208
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:47,600
is also the owner of 307 and fine as
well. Susie.

209
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:52,880
» Okay. Any questions of that? Any
questions? Motion has been made and

210
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:57,880
seconded. All in favor say I.
>> It's unanimous. Thank you very much, Mr.

211
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,880
Garcia.

212
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,920
Item number seven is a public hearing
portion

213
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:11,120
um
for uh Chris and Emil Garcia for a

214
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:17,039
variance sideyard spacing between ABSU
and the principal structure as published

215
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:22,480
in the agenda. Uh the will adhere to the
same rules as we did before on public

216
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:30,640
hearings. If there's no objection,
um being no objection, the meeting, the

217
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:35,280
public hearing is now open at 5:47.
Public hearing is now closed at 5:47 and

218
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:40,320
a half.
Um, agenda item eight, discussion and

219
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:47,679
possible action on a request from Chris
and Emil Garcia for variance sideyard

220
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:52,559
and spacing between ABSU and principal
structure

221
00:17:49,360 --> 00:18:00,000
located at 122 West Castle Lane as
published in the agenda. Um, Mr. Garcia,

222
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:03,200
are you doing it tonight?
We all looked at this and said, "Wait a

223
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,440
minute, weren't they here before?" and
we had to refresh our memories a little

224
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:13,200
bit about why you're here again.
>> Yes, sir. Uh we're we want to put a pool

225
00:18:09,919 --> 00:18:21,200
in the back yard and we're putting a
outdoor kitchen and if I go off the of

226
00:18:17,679 --> 00:18:27,679
the 25 ft setback rule, uh I will be
encroaching on the septic uh system that

227
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:33,760
we have in the backyard. So, I'm asking
for this variance to be able to stay

228
00:18:29,919 --> 00:18:36,880
away from our septic system. Um, and
it'll also help because it'll be in line

229
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:41,600
with with the house.
>> This is the item that you had sort of

230
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:45,919
brushed by us when we were here before
and you didn't do it because you hadn't

231
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:50,000
finalized your plans when we approved
your garage. And that's correct.

232
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:52,080
» Mr. Garcia, can you state your name and
your address for the record, please?

233
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,360
» I'm sorry.
>> My name is Chris Garcia and I live at

234
00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:59,840
122 West Castle Lane.
>> Thank you. Um, does just does that

235
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,919
refresh your memory of the house we're
talking about?

236
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Okay.
Um,

237
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,760
God, is everybody new?
>> No, you may have been gone.

238
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:14,480
» I may have been gone.
>> He may have been gone.

239
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:20,760
» Oh, he you were gone. I'm sorry. Okay,
but you know what we're talking about on

240
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,760
this one. Okay. Um,

241
00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:25,919
» the
previous

242
00:19:23,919 --> 00:19:32,080
» Yeah. Why don't Why don't
>> Rick ask your questions.

243
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:35,520
So there, what is there currently there
right now? It's just bare. I'm kind of

244
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,760
confused with the septic. I didn't know
there was septic here in Castle Hills.

245
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,480
Yes.
>> Yes. We have an aerobic septic system in

246
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:48,799
the backyard and it's behind in the
backyard behind my house. Um so we're

247
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:55,200
we're going to put the pool. If I had to
go with a 25 foot set back, it would be

248
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:59,760
on top of the septic system. So, I'm
asking for a variance to put it in line

249
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:06,080
with the house, which would be about 15
ft um off the side fence and then I

250
00:20:03,679 --> 00:20:11,400
would not be on top of my aerobic septic
system.

251
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,400
» Okay. All right. That's all I had.

252
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:21,919
» Good evening. So, your garage is off the
table now? No, I have I'm I'm in the

253
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:26,720
works with it too as well, but um I have
to I have to plan it with the

254
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:30,960
construction before I just start taking
off. So, I'm trying to get everything,

255
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:36,159
you know, planned
and and that way I I don't get I don't

256
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:39,200
handcuff myself while trying to build in
my backyard.

257
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:43,520
» Okay.
So, if I remember correctly, then your

258
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:46,480
garage is going to be on the east side
of your property.

259
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:51,520
» On the east side, yes, sir. on the on
the back south uh east corner.

260
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:54,799
» And that's how many feet do we give you
there?

261
00:20:52,400 --> 00:21:00,720
» Um I don't have it in front of me, but
it the 10.

262
00:20:57,919 --> 00:21:05,000
» Okay.
Do you have a structure here?

263
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,280
There trees involved.
>> Yes. In this project,

264
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:15,840
» I've got beautiful trees in the back.
Yes, sir. And so you can't build either

265
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:19,760
because of the septic and the trees.
>> Well, the for the for what I'm

266
00:21:17,679 --> 00:21:24,960
requesting in variance today is because
of the septic for my shop building is

267
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:29,919
because of the trees.
So I've got a big group of five trees,

268
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:36,919
heritage trees in the middle. If I move
my that shop over 25 feet, I would have

269
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:36,919
to knock all of them out.

270
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:44,840
» Right. I think we talked about
him.

271
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:55,360
But we advised you that if we grant
these, that doesn't mean you get to do

272
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:58,000
them if you have to do um what's the
previous coverage? Sorry. Have you

273
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,440
factored that in?
>> Yes.

274
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,400
» I know we're not talking about that
today, but you you are considering that.

275
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,120
» Yes, sir.
>> Okay.

276
00:22:03,919 --> 00:22:10,640
» Oh, I have
>> Zach, do you have any questions?

277
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,720
Yeah, I I mean I guess that would just
be a followup to Justin's. So I

278
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:19,600
understand that the only agenda item is
for the the the setback,

279
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:25,360
but maybe it's to Louis. I mean the
stage of of which that's analyze is that

280
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,559
is that something that comes next or how
does that work?

281
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:32,480
» I'm not sure I understand the question.
>> Well, the question is same thing as we

282
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,440
were talking about. If they approach
impervious cover, they've got to come

283
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:41,679
back and address that.
>> Correct. and and they were talking about

284
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:45,840
last time using uh a paper system, a
drainage system, something like this

285
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:49,280
that would and they're not asking
tonight for an impervious cover

286
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:52,720
variance.
>> Understood. Okay. So, that's a that's a

287
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:56,559
second that would be a second
application review period if

288
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:03,000
» that would be that would be the third
application if necessary.

289
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,000
» Yeah. Understood. Okay.

290
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,280
So, the garage has been built in.
>> It's been approved.

291
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:11,280
» Okay. That's where I wasn't really too
sure.

292
00:23:09,679 --> 00:23:14,640
» Zach
Ian, sorry.

293
00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:19,679
» No, I think the discussion's handled all
of my Did I get it?

294
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:23,600
» Uh, Mr. Worth, I I notice you're signed
up. Would you stepside, Mr. Garcia, and

295
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,159
let Mr. Worth come up and give us his
comments, please?

296
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:41,919
Gentlemen, Terry War, 124 West Castle
Lane. I'm his neighbor.

297
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:45,919
Chris can do whatever he wants to as
long as it fits with y'all's guidelines,

298
00:23:44,159 --> 00:23:51,520
of course. I'm being a little
lighthearted, but um uh we don't have

299
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,640
any problem with it at all.
>> Great. Thank you very much, sir.
