00:25:09,766 --> 00:25:12,766 is within 200 feet of this 500 00:25:14,804 --> 00:25:16,600 project minus 300 feet. 501 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,406 the tax value is $979,370. 502 00:25:18,677 --> 00:25:21,790 We sit on nice tracts of land. 503 00:25:21,790 --> 00:25:21,612 We have oak trees, we have pine 504 00:25:21,612 --> 00:25:24,120 trees, we have ponds. 505 00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:26,350 It is a nice use of that 506 00:25:26,350 --> 00:25:27,683 property. 507 00:25:27,683 --> 00:25:29,321 The property on the other side 508 00:25:29,321 --> 00:25:32,321 of the street was 20-acres 509 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:33,388 zoned by a woman who raises 510 00:25:33,388 --> 00:25:35,388 horses. 511 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,260 And the other 60-acres is owned 512 00:25:38,260 --> 00:25:38,963 by a woman who has horses and 513 00:25:38,963 --> 00:25:39,963 does riding lessons. 514 00:25:39,963 --> 00:25:41,431 And there are oak trees and I 515 00:25:41,431 --> 00:25:45,631 guess it is all zoned the same 516 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,301 on the other side, which is low 517 00:25:47,301 --> 00:25:48,973 density rural real estate type 518 00:25:48,973 --> 00:25:50,638 development and I think it is a 519 00:25:50,638 --> 00:25:53,638 good use for that property. 520 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,100 There is net any side streets 521 00:25:57,100 --> 00:25:59,179 on my section and I do not 522 00:25:59,179 --> 00:25:59,716 think it will ever be extended 523 00:25:59,716 --> 00:26:01,349 past the power plant. 524 00:26:01,349 --> 00:26:01,714 Soy only have one way in and 525 00:26:01,714 --> 00:26:03,714 one way out. 526 00:26:04,116 --> 00:26:08,792 So when I leave for the rest of 527 00:26:08,792 --> 00:26:11,920 my day, I will driving by 14- 528 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,192 foot tall boat barns. 529 00:26:12,192 --> 00:26:15,933 I did not want to invest thatch 530 00:26:15,933 --> 00:26:17,596 money to have some residential 531 00:26:17,596 --> 00:26:17,929 property rezoned into 532 00:26:17,929 --> 00:26:19,929 commercial. 533 00:26:22,970 --> 00:26:23,339 I just, my wife and I are 100% 534 00:26:23,339 --> 00:26:25,339 against this. 535 00:26:26,173 --> 00:26:28,420 And fear we have also is this 536 00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:30,743 the lady that sold the five 537 00:26:30,743 --> 00:26:34,943 acres to him, now she has ten 538 00:26:35,582 --> 00:26:38,315 acres, and she is not from 539 00:26:38,315 --> 00:26:39,651 here, she was divorced and 540 00:26:39,651 --> 00:26:41,180 needed to sell property to 541 00:26:41,180 --> 00:26:43,620 raise money, she wants to sell 542 00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:44,289 the rest of her ten acres so 543 00:26:44,289 --> 00:26:46,689 that she can leaf. 544 00:26:48,793 --> 00:26:50,661 So our fear is that once this 545 00:26:50,661 --> 00:26:52,931 is approved, then at some point 546 00:26:52,931 --> 00:26:56,531 in the future, the next buyer 547 00:26:56,868 --> 00:26:59,871 for her other two tracts of 548 00:26:59,871 --> 00:27:02,974 land is going to be for other 549 00:27:02,974 --> 00:27:04,546 boat and rv storage. 550 00:27:04,546 --> 00:27:05,808 Well, there is commercial 551 00:27:05,808 -->

--> 00:32:10,725 like this on a secondary 676 00:32:11,328 --> 00:32:12,196 roadway where where they are 677 00:32:12,196 --> 00:32:13,200 building neighborhoods. 678 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:13,466 There is one at flower bluff 679 00:32:13,466 --> 00:32:15,466 drive. 680 00:32:16,503 --> 00:32:17,801 So the location of the property 681 00:32:17,801 --> 00:32:19,568 is not an issue. 682 00:32:19,568 --> 00:32:21,742 These are all estate houses. 683 00:32:21,742 --> 00:32:24,407 If you look from pretty much 684 00:32:24,407 --> 00:32:26,309 all the way down to well, 685 00:32:26,309 --> 00:32:28,545 almost to laguna, it is all 686 00:32:28,545 --> 00:32:31,545 residential on this side of 687 00:32:31,914 --> 00:32:33,784 yorktown, every single one of 688 00:32:33,784 --> 00:32:34,551 them, estate homes, 20-acre 689 00:32:34,551 --> 00:32:37,540 tracts, five acres, ten acres, 690 00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:39,756 all the way down the line. 691 00:32:39,756 --> 00:32:43,662 This does not fit the use of 692 00:32:43,662 --> 00:32:43,962 that portion of york town at 693 00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:45,962 the all. 694 00:32:47,696 --> 00:32:47,962 These are not small tract type 695 00:32:47,962 --> 00:32:49,962 houses. 696 00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:50,266 These are half million dollar 697 00:32:50,266 --> 00:32:51,334 hours. 698 00:32:51,334 --> 00:32:55,534 I do not really think if you 699 00:32:57,239 --> 00:32:57,805 had that type of money in your 700 00:32:57,805 --> 00:32:58,840 house, regardless of the 701 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,900 restrictions, you would want 702 00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:00,243 someone popping up with a boat 703 00:33:00,243 --> 00:33:02,243 barn. 704 00:33:02,444 --> 00:33:04,145 I do not think anybody would. 705 00:33:04,145 --> 00:33:05,111 As my neighborhood said, there 706 00:33:05,111 --> 00:33:06,517 was a commercial property 707 00:33:06,517 --> 00:33:08,830 across the street, I would not 708 00:33:08,830 --> 00:33:09,116 have issues with someone 709 00:33:09,116 --> 00:33:11,516 building on that property. 710 00:33:12,210 --> 00:33:12,519 It was zoned commercial when I 711 00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:13,753 brought my property. 712 00:33:13,753 --> 00:33:16,391 So knowing full well it was 713 00:33:16,391 --> 00:33:16,689 zoned that way, I brought the 714 00:33:16,689 --> 00:33:18,689 property. 715 00:33:19,625 --> 00:33:20,950 This property next door was not 716 00:33:20,950 --> 00:33:21,895 zoned commercial. 717 00:33:21,895 --> 00:33:23,465 So for someone to come in and 718 00:33:23,465 --> 00:33:24,865 put something in that is not 719 00:33:24,865 --> 00:33:26,799 going to bring value to the 720 00:33:26,799 --> 00:33:28,680 community, it is really, it 721 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,302 does not make any sense. 722 00:33:30,302 --> 00:33:33,576 Lastly, I want to touch on 723 00:33:33,576 --> 00:33:35,411 something that is important to 724 00:33:35,411 --> 00:33:36,412 the city council and the city, 725 00:33:36,412 --> 00:33:38,279 the taxes. 726 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:39,778 If you look at taxes of other 727 00:33:39,778 --> 00:33:41,346 facilities just like this, they 728 00:33:41,346 --> 00:33:43,816 do not come near to where the 729 00:33:43,816 --> 00:33:46,785 house I am going to build, as 730 00:33:46,785 --> 00:33:47,288 far as the taxes it is again 731 00:33:47,288 --> 00:33:49,688 rating for the city. 732 00:33:52,591 --> 00:33:55,226 So yes, in the short term, they 733 00:33:55,226 --> 00:33:57,363 are going to extend the sewer 734 00:33:57,363 --> 00:34:00,565 line, well, yes, in the short 735 00:34:00,565 --> 00:34:02,401 term, that going to happen. 736 00:34:02,401 --> 00:34:03,735 In the long term the tax value 737 00:34:03,735 --> 00:34:06,839 nowhere near the taxes that are 738 00:34:06,839 --> 00:34:07,406 going to be drawn from my house 739 00:34:07,406 --> 00:34:08,637 to houses surrounding it. 740 00:34:08,637 --> 00:34:11,809 Now you are going to lower that 741 00:34:11,809 --> 00:34:15,513 and it makes no sense at all. 742 00:34:15,513 --> 00:34:15,746 Again, there is a lot of issues 743 00:34:15,746 --> 00:34:17,246 here. 744 00:34:17,246 --> 00:34:17,515 You know you have two different 745 00:34:17,515 --> 00:34:18,181 people. 746 00:34:18,181 --> 00:34:19,450 This is america everybody wants 747

00:34:28,258 But the fact that is that it 751 00:34:28,258 --> 00:34:29,995 does not fit.W a neighborhood 752 00:34:29,995 --> 00:34:31,563 or a residential area, a good 753 00:34:31,563 --> 00:34:32,763 thing going, you do not want 754 00:34:32,763 --> 00:34:35,333 room by someone who did not 755 00:34:35,333 --> 00:34:36,300 want to spend the money on the 756 00:34:36,300 -->

will draw in 767 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:00,353 taxes. 768 00:35:00,353 --> 00:35:01,325 Thank you. 769 00:35:01,325 --> 00:35:03,325 >> thank you. 770 00:35:07,328 --> 00:35:09,950 Anyone else for

--> 00:38:05,928 property to the north but also, 851 00:38:06,196 --> 00:38:08,630 keep in mind, we do not have a 852 00:38:08,630 --> 00:38:09,630 map here, but there is the aq 853 00:38:09,630 --> 00:38:12,663 zone that comes off the field 854 00:38:14,171 --> 00:38:15,105 and a lot of that is limited by 855 00:38:15,105 --> 00:38:17,105 that particular -- 856 00:38:18,708 --> 00:38:19,241 >> but a boat barn is fine 857 00:38:19,241 --> 00:38:20,475 there, right? 858 00:38:20,475 --> 00:38:20,876 >> correct. 859 00:38:20,876 --> 00:38:22,876 >> okay. 860 00:38:24,446 --> 00:38:25,447 But the the estate -- but the 861 00:38:25,447 --> 00:38:27,847 estate residential is a 862 00:38:28,184 --> 00:38:28,450 preferred use there as well, it 863 00:38:28,450 --> 00:38:30,450 is not? 864 00:38:31,386 --> 00:38:33,386 >> yes it is. 865 00:38:34,159 --> 00:38:34,422 >> all right, the 20% rule? 866 00:38:34,422 --> 00:38:36,422 >> yes. 867 00:38:39,826 --> 00:38:40,160 >> does that mean it is 868 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:40,927 unanimous? 869 00:38:40,927 --> 00:38:43,164 >> it requires a three-quarter 870 00:38:43,164 --> 00:38:43,663 vote of the council. 871 00:38:43,663 --> 00:38:46,630 So that is seven. 872 00:38:46,669 --> 00:38:48,202 >> that is all of us? 873 00:38:48,202 --> 00:38:51,802 >> I am not really convinced on 874 00:38:54,742 --> 00:38:55,241 this so I think I am going to 875 00:38:55,241 --> 00:38:56,545 vote no. 876 00:38:56,545 --> 00:39:00,145 I think, I think this is 877 00:39:00,846 --> 00:39:03,753 problem based on the zoning 878 00:39:03,753 --> 00:39:06,153 districts we put together. 879 00:39:07,889 --> 00:39:09,321 And so I, the thing, people 880 00:39:09,321 --> 00:39:10,626 want to put boat barns near the 881 00:39:10,626 --> 00:39:11,188 water around people want to 882 00:39:11,188 --> 00:39:13,588 live near the water. 883 00:39:13,792 --> 00:39:17,392 And I think it is really 884 00:39:17,396 --> 00:39:20,996 beneficial for staff to work on 885 00:39:22,803 --> 00:39:25,803 a zoning district that would 886 00:39:28,505 --> 00:39:31,505 allow some of those water 887 00:39:31,509 --> 00:39:32,610 oriented commercial 888 00:39:32,610 --> 00:39:32,946 developments that are not 889 00:39:32,946 --> 00:39:34,878 consistent. 890 00:39:34,878 --> 00:39:36,748 Because I think doing all of 891 00:39:36,748 --> 00:39:40,348 those by special permit is a 892 00:39:40,485 --> 00:39:43,918 bad idea and I think generally, 893 00:39:43,918 --> 00:39:46,189 just giving people industrial 894 00:39:46,189 --> 00:39:48,423 zoning for them is really bad. 895 00:39:48,423 --> 00:39:51,694 And then kind of just doing 896 00:39:51,694 --> 00:39:53,663 them all case by case with the 897 00:39:53,663 --> 00:39:56,663 special permit to maybe, maybe 898 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,772 it is changing cg1 to give it 899 00:40:00,772 --> 00:40:03,570 an extra 60 feet if that is 900 00:40:03,570 --> 00:40:03,772 what a standard boat barn bay 901 00:40:03,772 --> 00:40:05,772 is. 902 00:40:07,376 --> 00:40:08,143 But it just seems like the 903 00:40:08,143 --> 00:40:10,381 ordnance is unwieldy and this 904 00:40:10,381 --> 00:40:14,581 is maybe where we need to do 905 00:40:15,451 --> 00:40:16,987 some work. 906 00:40:16,987 --> 00:40:17,354 So that is my thoughts. 907 00:40:17,354 --> 00:40:19,123 >> thank you. 908 00:40:19,123 --> 00:40:22,157 You know, that is why we have 909 00:40:22,157 --> 00:40:22,555 the process and we listen to 910 00:40:22,555 --> 00:40:24,555 the public. 911 00:40:25,290 --> 00:40:27,797 And I will tell you what 912 00:40:27,797 --> 00:40:28,331 resinated with me, what Mr. 913 00:40:28,331 --> 00:40:29,128 Meyer also said is the 914 00:40:29,128 --> 00:40:31,128 President [Inaudible-low 915 00:40:32,765 --> 00:40:35,165 volume] With the neighboring 916 00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:37,971 property when it gets sold. 917 00:40:37,971 --> 00:40:39,537 And once we do set a precedent 918 00:40:39,537 --> 00:40:43,137 and then you are right, they 919 00:40:43,943 --> 00:40:45,180 say well, we did it here and 920 00:40:45,180 --> 00:40:48,180 you changed the whole intent. 921 00:40:50,548 --> 00:40:54,148 So, I am listening to you. 922 00:40:54,753 --> 00:40:55,120 And I hear you. 923 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:55,488 Ms. Mcintyre. 924 00:40:55,488 --> 00:40:56,155 >> thank you. 925 00:40:56,155 --> 00:40:56,889 Just listening and hearing for 926 00:40:56,889 --> 00:40:59,920 little while on this one, I 927 00:40:59,920 --> 00:40:59,392 have to tell you and it is a 928 00:40:59,392 --> 00:41:00,494 hard one. 929 00:41:00,494 --> 00:41:02,364 Because you want boats near the 930 00:41:02,364 --> 00:41:03,898 water and you want to have 931 00:41:03,898 --> 00:41:05,290 people have storage and with 932 00:41:05,290 --> 00:41:07,701 code enforcement reel I will 933 00:41:07,701 --> 00:41:10,469 trying to be strict about that, 934 00:41:10,469 --> 00:41:12,636 it does create a great renied. 935 00:41:12,636 --> 00:41:14,104 But I would echo david's 936 00:41:14,104 --> 00:41:17,104 comments that having a zoning 937 00:41:17,141 --> 00:41:17,740 that makes us not go to special 938 00:41:17,740 --> 00:41:21,340 per nit every time -- permit 939 00:41:21,512 --> 00:41:21,812 every time would be very 940 00:41:21,812 --> 00:41:23,812 helpful. 941 00:41:27,117 --> 00:41:28,319 When you go down yorktown, you 942 00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:29,510 start the at the bridge and- 943 00:41:29,510 --> 00:41:31,889 -start at the bridge and I 944 00:41:31,889 --> 00:41:34,694 think it is important to keep 945 00:41:34,694 --> 00:41:35,995 that, when you look, also 946 00:41:35,995 --> 00:41:38,395 driving through flower bluff 947 00:41:40,162 --> 00:41:42,199 and seeing how much commercial 948 00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:45,199 property is available in the 949 00:41:46,536 --> 00:41:47,300 bluff as general, it also 950 00:41:47,300 --> 00:41:49,300 serves its purpose. 951 00:41:52,807 --> 00:41:54,775 [Inaudible-low volume] That 952 00:41:54,775 --> 00:41:55,978 has development just platted 953 00:41:55,978 --> 00:41:58,449 recently, to take that out of 954 00:41:58,449 --> 00:41:59,882 that and you look at properties 955 00:41:59,882 --> 00:42:00,218 that are being put in the bluff 956 00:42:00,218 --> 00:42:01,983 right now. 957 00:42:01,983 --> 00:42:03,887 It is a great place to live and 958 00:42:03,887 --> 00:42:06,521 people want to be there. 959 00:42:06,521 --> 00:42:08,540 And there is residential 960 00:42:08,540 --> 00:42:09,223 property being planned and 961 00:42:09,223 --> 00:42:10,422 developed, you cannot drive 962 00:42:10,422 --> 00:42:13,910 down the road without seeing a 963 00:42:13,910 --> 00:42:13,660 new neighborhood coming up on a 964 00:42:13,660 --> 00:42:15,660 regular basis. 965 00:42:16,262 --> 00:42:20,462 And so it does not matter for 966 00:42:21,469 --> 00:42:25,906 me to say this, I am not going 967 00:42:25,906 --> 00:42:26,640 to support the changes. 968 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,640 >> Mr. Magill. 969 00:42:31,244 --> 00:42:32,246 >> orange the traffic concern, 970 00:42:32,246 --> 00:42:33,912 is there, is there not a 971 00:42:33,912 --> 00:42:35,748 stoplight or a stop line? 972 00:42:35,748 --> 00:42:37,684 I know there is not a light, 973 00:42:37,684 --> 00:42:41,518 but is there not a stop sign? 974 00:42:41,518 --> 00:42:43,860 >> it is an one-way stop line. 975 00:42:43,860 --> 00:42:45,726 It is a two-way, I guess. 976 00:42:45,726 --> 00:42:47,626 >> yes, can we take a look at 977 00:42:47,626 --> 00:42:50,462 that as staff just to make sure 978 00:42:50,462 --> 00:42:53,467 that that is the best possible 979 00:42:53,467 --> 00:42:53,999 within the means of the 980 00:42:53,999 --> 00:42:54,732 financial availability. 981 00:42:54,732 --> 00:42:56,400 I just want to make sure that 982 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:57,302 is not a concern in the future. 983 00:42:57,302 --> 00:42:59,302 >> will do. 984 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,440 >> and with this, regarding the 985 00:43:03,708 --> 00:43:04,742 fact that it would require a 986 00:43:04,742 --> 00:43:06,742 two-thirds, or three-quarters 987 00:43:11,615 --> 00:43:12,816 today, is that with the zoning, 988 00:43:12,816 --> 00:43:15,170 that Councilman Loeb and 989 00:43:15,170 --> 00:43:15,386 Councilwoman Mcentire brought 990 00:43:15,386 --> 00:43:17,386 up, I agree. 991 00:43:18,121 --> 00:43:20,555 We give vast time to come back 992 00:43:20,555 --> 00:43:23,460 with -- can we give staff time to 993 00:43:23,460 --> 00:43:26,263 come back, can we table this? 994 00:43:26,263 --> 00:43:27,763 Or I am just, I am posing the 995 00:43:27,763 --> 00:43:29,799 question, do we give staff time 996 00:43:29,799 --> 00:43:33,399 to come back with a zoning? 997 00:43:35,370 --> 00:43:35,338 >> well, I think that is a fair 998 00:43:35,338 --> 00:43:37,338 question. 999 00:43:38,506 --> 00:43:40,776 However, to me, now, listening 1000 00:43:40,776 --> 00:43:43,100 to the concerns and I was very 1001 00:43:43,100 --> 00:43:45,983 impressed with the applicant of 1002 00:43:45,983 --> 00:43:46,748 taking all of those 1003 00:43:46,748 --> 00:43:49,148 restrictions and trying to 1004 00:43:49,815 --> 00:43:50,149 coexist and work well with the 1005 00:43:50,149 --> 00:43:51,789 neighbors. 1006 00:43:51,789 --> 00:43:55,589 But, it is not going to change 1007 00:43:55,589 --> 00:43:56,991 this area that was once 1008 00:43:56,991 --> 00:43:59,893 considered to me, my concern is 1009 00:43:59,893 --> 00:44:02,465 once this is dealt with, what 1010 00:44:02,465 --> 00:44:02,864 it does with the precedent 1011 00:44:02,864 --> 00:44:04,864 going forward. 1012 00:44:06,168 --> 00:44:07,201 And I am prepared to voted to 1013 00:44:07,201 --> 00:44:09,201 on this. 1014 00:44:12,305 --> 00:44:15,905 But, if is there anyone else, 1015 00:44:18,145 --> 00:44:18,511 excuse me, to Mr. Magill's 1016 00:44:18,511 --> 00:44:18,811 subjoinsdown. 1017 00:44:18,811 --> 00:44:19,246 Mr. Loeb. 1018 00:44:19,246 --> 00:44:19,544 >> -- suggestion. 1019 00:44:19,544 --> 00:44:21,544 Mr. Loeb. 1020 00:44:21,814 --> 00:44:22,790 >> I am ready to vote on this 1021 00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:22,481 today. 1022 00:44:22,481 --> 00:44:24,352 But separately. 1023 00:44:24,352 --> 00:44:26,989 I think staff needs to work on 1024 00:44:26,989 --> 00:44:30,189 modifying it so it is a 1025 00:44:30,189 --> 00:44:33,250 standard size, or whatever the 1026 00:44:33,250 --> 00:44:34,460 base zoning district for the 1027 00:44:34,460 --> 00:44:36,860 commercial is that allows 1028 00:44:36,927 --> 00:44:39,970 storage but upping it enough so 1029 00:44:39,970 --> 00:44:41,536 this, you know, the standard 1030 00:44:41,536 --> 00:44:44,136 vote will fit in one of those 1031 00:44:44,136 --> 00:44:44,438 or doing a different zoning 1032 00:44:44,438 --> 00:44:45,337 district. 1033 00:44:45,337 --> 00:44:46,503 But I think that is something 1034 00:44:46,503 --> 00:44:49,442 that staff needs to take some 1035 00:44:49,442 --> 00:44:51,609 time to really lock at rather 1036 00:44:51,609 --> 00:44:53,745 than just -- to look at rather 1037 00:44:53,745 --> 00:44:54,145 than us just telling them one 1038 00:44:54,145 --> 00:44:56,145 or another. 1039 00:44:56,211 --> 00:44:59,211 >> this is the second request 1040 00:45:00,987 --> 00:45:01,419 similar to this with the size 1041 00:45:01,419 --> 00:45:01,818 limb limitations. 1042 00:45:01,818 --> 00:45:03,356 -- limitations. 1043 00:45:03,356 --> 00:45:05,286 So the talk has been do we need 1044 00:45:05,286 --> 00:45:08,286 to modify that 400 square foot 1045 00:45:09,293 --> 00:45:11,227 limit to something like 600 or 1046 00:45:11,227 --> 00:45:13,627 500 because it seems like 400, 1047 00:45:15,310 --> 00:45:15,432 500 has been a common number 1048 00:45:15,432 --> 00:45:16,700 already twice. 1049 00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:18,668 So that conversation has 1050 00:45:18,668 --> 00:45:20,668 already been started. 1051

1406 00:59:05,876 --> 00:59:06,143 real reason that we are here 1407 00:59:06,143 --> 00:59:08,143 today. 1408 00:59:09,316 --> 00:59:11,716 We have been working through 1409 00:59:11,716 -->

00:59:49,820 --> 00:59:51,322 thought we were on the agenda 1429 00:59:51,322 --> 00:59:53,356 to have a resolution of support 1430 00:59:53,356 --> 00:59:55,190 that we were going to be able 1431
