The new hotel is 105 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,400 proposed to be located in the Garden District Shopping Center as you can see 106 00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:35,360 on the map. Uh the property is undeveloped located directly south of 107 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:40,880 Buffalo Wild Wings. The applicant intends to construct a fourstory 108 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:44,399 extended stay hotel with 90 guest rooms.

We received one letter in opposition 118 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,519 that's included in your packet as well. Planning and zoning unanimously 119 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:35,760 recommended approval of the special use permit and staff recommends council 120 00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:41,200 conduct a public hearing and a consider approval of the ordinance. Mr. Mayor. 121 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:47,000 » All right. This is a public hearing. If you'd like to speak on this item, you 122 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,000 may step forward at this time. 123 00:09:53,040 --> 00:10:01,040 Good evening. Hi, my name is Tom Broomstead. Um I spent about 7 months on 124 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:06,880 this project back in 2016 on that pond in the back. And so my question is 125 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:12,160 um I drove through there the other night and and the street lights were not even 126 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:18,000 working in the subdivision in the garden district. So my question is on that 127 00:10:14,959 --> 00:10:22,720 pond, what are the asurances that that thing is going to be maintained to the 128 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:28,880 proper level that it's supposed to be maintained to? Because when I go around 129 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:35,120 the city and go to the um Burlington coat factory or whatever it is, that sub 130 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:40,160 subdivision, that pond is in disarray and the one next to Hobby Lobby is in 131 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:43,519 disarray. So that's my question is how is that pond going to be maintained? 132 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,680 » Thank you. >> Thank you. 133 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:58,839 » Is there anyone else? >> Are we on the 134 00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:05,240 » We are. Yep. Number uh item number five. Yep. 135 00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:14,720 » Sorry I'm late. Uh my name is Amy. I had spoke to before in the other hearings. 136 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:19,839 Um I'm the owner of lot 4A. Uh before we even discuss any of the uh easement 137 00:11:16,959 --> 00:11:24,079 itself, I do need to address that the process has taken place uh in this room 138 00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:28,160 previously. At the beginning of this hearing cycle, 139 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:32,640 the city did not have the exhibit B. The recorded meets and bound survey 140 00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:35,680 following October 27 of 2023. Despite not having the legal description, the 141 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:42,240 city still made two separate claims about the Eastman's purpose. Um, first 142 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,240 first it was that it was for access for the retention pond. That was the first 143 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:52,399 uh meeting that I had with them. And then later in another meeting, it was 144 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:56,480 actually for uh fire access that they wanted to use my easement on those two 145 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:00,880 occasions. Now, both of those statements were made without the actual exhibit 146 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:06,240 being hand. That to me is not transparency. That to me is not due 147 00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:10,959 diligence and that is not how decisions affecting private property should be 148 00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:14,000 made. When I asked questions on a different occasion in the meeting, I was 149 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:19,440 told by the city engineer, this is the way it's going to be and this is this is 150 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:24,560 not going to change. Uh that to me is not a legal explanation. 151 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:28,560 That is not a factual explanation to me either. That to me is more of a 152 00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:32,959 predetermined outcome. And it's to me I feel like it's not acceptable when we're 153 00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:39,519 take when we're tech talking about the use of someone else's land. Texas law is 154 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:44,000 not vague on this point and Eastman is limited to the exact plan described and 155 00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:48,240 it on its meets and bounds. It cannot be enlarged. It cannot be shifted. It 156 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:52,240 cannot be assumed like it's been for this couple of weeks and it cannot be 157 00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:57,040 used to take additional land that was never granted. The Eastman does not 158 00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:01,040 authorize permanent payment pavement, permanent access or or permanent use 159 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:07,760 outside the meets and bounds description on exhibit B. I purchase lot 4A subject 160 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:12,079 only to the recorded easement, not to any expansion of it, not to any 161 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:15,680 interpretation of it and not to any site plan that goes beyond the legal 162 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:19,519 description. So, I'm standing here today asking very simple question. Where does 163 00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:23,200 the transparency and accountability stand when the city makes claims about 164 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,279 an easement before even having the legal description on exhibit B? I'm not here 165 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,399 to stop the development. I'm not I'm here to actually protect the boundaries 166 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:35,040 of my property. And I'm here for transparency on this easement that is 167 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:38,720 taken approximately 40 ft on my land. And I'm here to ensure that the hotel is 168 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,800 limited to the exact scope of what is legally granted, nothing more. And 169 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,680 finally, I would like to see in a clearly highlighted specific manner 170 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,760 where exhibit B states that the additional portions of my land. I want a 171 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,360 factual legal explanation, not an assumption and not a survey 172 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:57,519 interpretation. If the city is relying on exhibit B, then the city must show 173 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:02,240 exactly where exhibit B authorizes the use of the easements of meets and bounds 174 00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:06,800 description where it starts and it ends on the property within mine. With that, 175 00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:10,040 I yield. Thank you. >> Thank you. 176 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:19,160 All right, we're going to close the uh public hearing hearing and move to 177 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,160 comments from the council. 178 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:27,360 » Mr. Mayor, I just have one question. Um sir, I'm sorry I did not get your name. 179 00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:31,040 Um the first gentleman who spoke, >> Tom. 180 00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:35,519 » Mr. Tom. Um just out of curiosity cuz I I personally stressed to everyone if you 181 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:39,920 see something, say something. So, you said that you noticed that the lights 182 00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:44,720 were out at the pond area. Did you by chance call the city to address that so 183 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,880 that someone could come out and address that, whether it be through the city 184 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:53,199 department or through Encore, who's ever responsible for it? I'm just curious, 185 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:57,360 was that reported on the pond area? You have to understand that that that garden 186 00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,160 district and the city manager will probably explain it better than I 187 00:14:58,670 --> 00:15:08,320 [clears throat] can, but that was part of a master plan development. 188 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:13,839 When the wheels came off the bus and we went into financial disarray, 189 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:20,399 everybody started foreclosing on that property and so there was never an HOA 190 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:23,680 or anything planned. So that the lights that were out the other night, just like 191 00:15:21,839 --> 00:15:27,040 the pond doesn't work, the pump doesn't work at the front, 192 00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:31,120 » there's nobody to pay those bills. Okay. >> So the the pond in the back 193 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,079 » is being sold right now. >> Okay. 194 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,959 » To a to some random person that's going to I don't understand how this can 195 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,399 » Okay. >> rely on that pond. 196 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:44,480 » Okay. Thank you for that explanation. I was just envisioning what you said that 197 00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:48,000 you drove by somewhere, it was dark, the lights were out, and I just wondering 198 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,920 has someone been notified to come and correct that. But thank you for your 199 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:56,639 explanation. >> That's all I have, Mr. Mayor. 200 00:15:53,519 --> 00:16:00,480 » Very good. >> I'd like to make a motion to approve. 201 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:04,000 » A second. >> Second. 202 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:08,160 » We have a motion and a second. All in favor, please say I. 203 00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:12,560 » Any opposed? >> That motion carries. Item number six, 204 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:17,199 consider approval on first reading of an ordinance providing for the abandonment, 205 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:21,759 vacation, closure, and sale. I'm sorry, this is uh this is an item that I'm 206 00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:25,519 actually financially involved in. So, on item number six, at this time, I hereby 207 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:29,680 announce my recusal for from consideration and deliberation of the 208 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:33,519 next agenda item due to conflict of interest. Because mayor prom Shankle's 209 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:37,360 not present this evening, I'm appointing council member Ford to serve as acting 210 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:41,519 mayor prom for the limited purpose of providing I'm sorry, presiding over this 211 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:45,360 item, including conducting the discussion and calling for vote. I'll 212 00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:50,000 abstain from any participation, discussion, or vote on this matter. Mr. 213 00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:54,000 Ford, take it over. The next item on the agenda is item number six. Consider 214 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:59,279 approval on first reading of an ordinance providing for the abandonment, 215 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:04,720 vacation, closure, and sale of an approximately 0.047 216 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:10,559 acre portion of an alley located in block 10 of the town of Lufkin Bonner 217 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:17,120 Edition extending from North 7th Street to North Chestnut Street. Kevin, 218 00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:23,199 » yes. uh engineering services received a request from EGA consultants on behalf 219 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:28,640 of Oakdale Manor to purchase this uh 047 acre alley rideway located in the 100 220 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:34,320 block of the Bonner edition. There are no existing city utilities. Um 221 00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:42,160 would you go to the location map, Jesse, as well? You can see that it goes from 222 00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:48,480 uh Chestnut over to uh North 7th Street um and is a very small alley that a lot 223 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:53,840 of us weren't actually aware of. Staff has reviewed the request and determined 224 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:58,320 there are no uh existing utilities, no planned or current purpose for the city 225 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:04,160 to retain this portion of the rideway. Chapters 252 and 272 of local government 226 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:11,600 code were followed in a process to offer the land for sale. The uh if approved, 227 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:16,080 the total sale amount would be $4,150 consisting of the appraised value of 228 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:23,039 $3500 and the fee for appraisal and filing. So 229 00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:28,480 upon payment, the city would issue a deed without warranty 230 00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:34,320 and uh the land would be required to be platted into uh the rest of the property 231 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:38,720 there in some way. Staff recommends the abandonment, vacation, closure, and sale 232 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:42,880 of the alley, finding it is not needed for public use, and that the sale 233 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:47,120 complies with chapters 252 and 272 of local government code. 234 00:18:45,679 --> 00:18:50,559 » Thank you, Kevin. >> Uh at this time, we will open the public 235 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:54,600 hearing. Is there anyone who wishes to speak on this item? 236 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:04,559 Seeing there's no one further wishing to speak. The public hearing is now closed. 237 00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:07,960 I will entertain a motion now. >> I move approval. 238 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:18,480 » I second it. We have a motion made and a second uh to 239 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:22,720 approve the sale of of this land, this alleyway. Uh do I need to read the whole 240 00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:29,160 thing or no? >> Okay. Uh is there any further discussion 241 00:19:25,679 --> 00:19:29,160 from the council? 242 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:36,000 » I just have one question which I I think it it's nullan boy honestly. By selling 243 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:42,320 that alleyway, it'll also close off access like how the alley now can access 244 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:46,400 Chestnut and can access Seventh. That closes off. Correct. 245 00:19:43,919 --> 00:19:49,600 » Any right for the city to use it would be abandoned with it not no longer being 246 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:54,880 an alley. >> It'll be part of that property. 247 00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:57,679 » That's my board. [laughter] >> Yeah, 248 00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:01,280 » we have lots of accidents on Chestnut. Yeah, there's no 249 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:04,960 » there is no improvements, no pavement, nothing in that property right now. It 250 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:09,440 is undeveloped. >> Perfect. 251 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:13,280 » Anything further? >> All right, I will call for a vote. All 252 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,960 in favor, please say I. >> I. 253 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:21,360 » I. >> All those opposed say nay. 254 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:25,840 Uh, the motion carries. >> Thank you, Mr. Ford. We're now going 255 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:29,919 into executive session. The city council will convene into executive session 256 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,480 pursuant to Texas government code section 551.087 257 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:38,039 to deliberate regarding economic development negotiations. 258 00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:41,559 » Time is 520. 259 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:50,559 » Okay. So it's time is 602. Our meeting is back in session after executive 260 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,960 session. No further action. Time is 602. We're now a journey. 261 00:21:00,889 --> 00:21:02,909 » [music]
