I would like to speak on Invasion Macallon. 311 00:26:56,740 --> 00:27:03,700 I think it sets a bold vision for Macallon aimed at keeping Macallon as the leading city 312 00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:10,620 of the region. The Invasion Macallon Comprehensive Plan, Macallon 24, thank you. 313 00:27:10,820 --> 00:27:17,020 That's a vision for growth for the next 20 to 30 years. The overall plan is a policy 314 00:27:17,020 --> 00:27:26,020 step forward for Macallon. Mixed use neighborhoods was promoted in the 2007 Comprehensive 315 00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:32,220 plan on which I was a member, and it needs to be jump-started. 316 00:27:33,180 --> 00:27:39,100 Development should be complementary to existing single-family neighborhoods to avoid devaluation 317 00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:42,600 of those homes and resentment and fear by those homeowners. 318 00:27:43,940 --> 00:27:49,900 The emphasis on preservation and rehabilitation of downtown is overdue. 319 00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:59,280 it speaks to that. Transportation is very important and mobility, transportation and mobility 320 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:07,560 on complete streets and a better balance ratio of right away situations is addressed in this 321 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:15,320 plan. It is absolutely incredibly important to have a vision for the next 20 years, 322 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:19,880 which 323 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:27,840 comprehensive planning document, stress the need for more green spaces, and this has not 324 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:34,460 kept up with McCallan's growth in many new neighborhoods, which are still built on the 325 00:28:34,460 --> 00:28:43,680 shotgun street and cookie cutter house model. This invasion McCallan plan does address this 326 00:28:43,680 --> 00:29:02,840 problem. And if this problem is adopted and implemented, I think this will be improved. Now what I forgot to include in my remarks to you, but I'm including now, this does not address the need of all citizens to have access to broadband. 327 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:10,400 broadband is a very important utility, comparable to electricity, and maybe water, although 328 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,200 we do need water to survive, I guess we can survive without broadband. 329 00:29:14,780 --> 00:29:20,120 But in this day and age, broadband needs to be addressed, and I don't see this addressed 330 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,000 in this plan. 331 00:29:21,180 --> 00:29:22,400 I would hope it would be. 332 00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:24,940 So please add that to my remarks. 333 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:32,560 It's very important to note that adopting invasion McCallon is only the first step in bringing 334 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:40,640 the plan and its policies to fruition. A comprehensive plan is a guide and a policy document 335 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:50,160 for the city. It is not law or ordinance. So, McCallon is currently working on updating 336 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:57,340 our zoning, our subdivision and landscaping ordinances to ensure that regulations are in place 337 00:29:57,340 --> 00:29:59,400 to allow an invasion of Macallon. 338 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,520 Outlook to come to fruition.

With that in mind, it is staff's position that the wouldn't 704 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:06,000 stands are a minimal investment and should be relocated outside the limits at this time. 705 00:53:06,340 --> 00:53:11,240 In August of last year, a two-year extension was granted to another firework for a house owned 706 00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:18,860 by another owner and located at FM107 to allow sales onto August 14th of 2020-24. 707 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:24,920 That is the 1-1-17 is owned completely by somebody else, so they have an extension until August 708 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:26,400 14th of 2024. 709 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:31,520 and as far as development and all that type of stuff, it really has been pretty much the same in the area. 710 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,320 Yes, that is correct. That has been the same to the one in 2007. 711 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:35,540 That is correct. 712 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:44,300 And then they still fireworks, but in our city, we still disallow the use or that is correct. 713 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:45,660 That is correct. 714 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,680 Yeah. And so with that in mind, we have two options before you. 715 00:53:49,740 --> 00:53:55,480 Option one is staff recommends the Nile of the request for an extension of the new 716 00:53:55,480 --> 00:54:00,880 the statement agreement for all stands and warehouses. Option two, which is actually what we 717 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:06,160 staff are bringing before you for consideration and approval, option two is allow a two-year 718 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:11,700 extension of the nuisance of the statement agreement only for the warehouse to allow all agreements 719 00:54:11,700 --> 00:54:19,940 to expire on a uniform date on August 14, 2024. So basically we're still asking that this 720 00:54:19,940 --> 00:54:24,820 stands, those need to be removed. However, the warehouse is, you know, we're recommending, 721 00:54:24,860 --> 00:54:31,040 allowed them to continue at the same timeline as the existing extension for the different 722 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:35,700 business owner. That's what we're presenting to you for consideration option too. 723 00:54:35,860 --> 00:54:40,160 And generally, I don't recommend anything, but I just, this is one of those that I don't feel 724 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:46,240 comfortable with, you know, annexing, taking and then okay by a certain point of time, you need to 725 00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:50,000 do something different, even though it's not affecting anybody other than our ordinance. 726 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:57,860 Oh, I would like to extend without any church for a couple of years and then revisit it again, 727 00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,860 so there'd be more development, should there be something different, then take a look at it, 728 00:55:02,020 --> 00:55:05,640 but otherwise we're just affecting entrepreneurs and reality. 729 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:10,280 So the one thing to consider on the warehouses is that being in size to the limits that we need to 730 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,420 fall completely on the older requirements of the FAR code, which for those type of facility 731 00:55:14,420 --> 00:55:18,340 storage, their capacity, and all that, they would require far-so-person systems, which they 732 00:55:18,340 --> 00:55:23,060 don't have, and so on, and so that is something critical to taking to account, that 733 00:55:23,060 --> 00:55:29,880 we're talking about warehouses, of fireworks within our settlements, not up to anything we can 734 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:30,140 visit. 735 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:35,220 Maybe if we want to keep on extending, they may have to put something like that. 736 00:55:35,460 --> 00:55:41,440 But in the interim, I find it difficult to kind of impose my conditions on something where 737 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:46,280 existed before. Can't say grandfathers. There was an agreement, but I just don't see the purpose 738 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,160 and shutting somebody down when you don't have to. 739 00:55:50,300 --> 00:55:55,440 So, because he's for the sale and I'm not paying up for the use of the firework since I 740 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:56,780 said it limits them. 741 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:07,120 The property is the warehouse that's there on Dickle Road. I went to see it to make sure 742 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:13,060 that I remembered it well. It's been there for a long time and Dickle Road was 743 00:56:13,060 --> 00:56:23,420 expanded so it now it's a well built warehouse correct and you know not infringing on anything and 744 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,180 You know we annexed all that area and that came with it. So I 745 00:56:29,580 --> 00:56:35,680 Have a difficult time also saying no to somebody that's been there for a while and invested in that very well 746 00:56:36,860 --> 00:56:43,080 look very well lit also where else and Mr. Mayor I know that we had the similar discussion 747 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:49,100 with regards to the other fireworks operation warehouse stand on 107 and you know I 748 00:56:49,100 --> 00:56:54,080 still feel that we should follow the use of agreement obviously the board at that time 749 00:56:54,080 --> 00:57:00,600 felt and approved it I think it's even though that one of the options is to only allow 750 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,960 the warehouse I think I will keep it the same just keep the stands operating along with 751 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:10,780 house to be an even parity with the other operation, because it also serves as a warehouse 752 00:57:10,780 --> 00:57:16,760 and I'll believe at some point in time was selling fireworks. I'll make a motion to allow 753 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:22,480 a two-year extension to make a uniformed date expiration of August 14, 2024, and specifically 754 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:27,140 with this, I'll again, hit it be allowed to keep the Wharf artwork stand and the warehouse until 755 00:57:27,140 --> 00:57:28,460 such date. 756 00:57:28,460 --> 00:57:33,420 to re-visit into you. And then we can re-visit to you. 757 00:57:36,420 --> 00:57:38,860 I think the applicant wants to maybe put in general. 758 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,060 So that nobody signed up for agenda item public comment. 759 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,580 Oh, just note to the commission that this is not a public hearing item. 760 00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:53,180 But you know what? Well, it's regarding the item on the agenda quickly. 761 00:57:58,050 --> 00:57:59,910 But we need to make sure we sign up. 762 00:58:00,170 --> 00:58:03,370 Yes, sir, Mayor, and I apologize. I didn't realize I was here. 763 00:58:03,430 --> 00:58:05,270 Just didn't realize there was a paperwork requirement. 764 00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:07,170 Mayor Commissioner, thank you for your service. 765 00:58:07,930 --> 00:58:11,530 I can relate long tough hours sitting behind the dice. 766 00:58:11,690 --> 00:58:12,670 I want to thank you. 767 00:58:12,670 --> 00:58:14,490 I have with me today, Mr. Gonzalez, 768 00:58:14,990 --> 00:58:18,130 from Big Gees Fireworks, formerly with Mr. Gees Fireworks, 769 00:58:18,410 --> 00:58:19,970 been in this community a long time. 770 00:58:20,290 --> 00:58:22,690 Just like you said, Mayor, these are locations 771 00:58:22,690 --> 00:58:24,810 that existed prior to annexation, 772 00:58:25,050 --> 00:58:27,190 whether they'd be stands, whether they'd be warehouses, 773 00:58:27,350 --> 00:58:28,010 they were there. 774 00:58:28,450 --> 00:58:29,750 They sought out these locations. 775 00:58:30,390 --> 00:58:33,870 They negotiated leases with the owners of the property. 776 00:58:33,870 --> 00:58:38,370 they market it and establish them as locations to sell their fireworks to the public. 777 00:58:38,610 --> 00:58:43,030 It's very hard to relocate whether it be a stand, whether it be a warehouse. 778 00:58:43,930 --> 00:58:50,050 We thank you for the two-year extension blanket, whether it be warehouses or stands. 779 00:58:51,470 --> 00:59:00,350 But I think the public policy decision here is if you annex a location into the city and there 780 00:59:00,350 --> 00:59:06,290 There should be a dialogue of whether or not they were operating legally in the county, whether they would continue to operate. 781 00:59:06,690 --> 00:59:12,670 And let me just say this, commissioners and mayor, the stands or warehouses, they only sell for 20 days a year. 782 00:59:12,910 --> 00:59:18,510 That's it. 20 days a year, 10 days leading up to 4th of July, 10 days leading up to New Year's. 783 00:59:18,550 --> 00:59:24,350 And if there's any issues with the discharge of fireworks, the county can shut them down where in a severe drought. 784 00:59:24,350 --> 00:59:46,410 But no locations, whether they'd be here in McKellen or anywhere else, has there been incident regarding the stands or warehouses and in addition, you know, they do pay taxes, they fall under state fire marshal code, they fall under city fire marshal code and I think they're well regulated and protect the public and fireworks to fund. 785 00:59:47,150 --> 00:59:50,470 So with that, I have to answer any questions, but thank you for your consideration. 786 00:59:51,390 --> 00:59:56,790 We're going to 20 days? 20 days a year total, yes sure. 787 00:59:58,780 --> 00:59:59,980 Is there was a motion in the second? 788 01:00:00,980 --> 01:00:07,900 All in favour?
