[0:32] Good morning,

[0:33] we are live and recording

[0:34] in the chambers,

[0:35] can you hear me?

[0:36] We hear you Marcus, how are

[0:37] you?

[0:38] Thank you very much, good

[0:40] morning everyone. I want to let

[0:41] you know that I got an email

[0:42] from Christian Rodriguez this

[0:43] morning.

[0:44] He will not be able

[0:45] to attend.

[0:46] Javier Baena has missed three

[0:48] meetings in a row and he was

[0:50] automatically removed from the

[0:51] board so we now only have five

[0:52] members.

[0:54] So because Christian is not

[0:55] going to be for the meeting

[0:59] in Mariano Corral as the last

[1:00] architect for the project at

[1:01] 6021 SW 88th Street.

[1:04] That project will just be

[1:06] automatically approved because

[1:07] Mariano has to recuse himself

[1:08] from it.

[1:11] Understood and that, okay,

[1:12] understood.

[1:13] Yeah, so we only have the one

[1:15] item 60501 SW 59th Avenue and

[1:20] at this time we still don't

[1:21] have a quorum, we only have

[1:23] Mariano and Angel.

[1:25] And Angel, right. Okay, we'll

[1:26] give them some time and good

[1:28] morning everyone.

[1:30] Good morning Angel, how are

[1:32] you? I'm doing well Alex, how

[1:35] are you? Very good,

[1:36] thank you.

[1:37] Good morning Mariano, how are

[1:40] you? Good sir.

[1:41] Hey, how come, oh,

[1:45] I might show my happy face.

[1:46] There you are,

[1:47] there you are.

[1:48] So I was explaining to Alex, I

[1:49] don't know if you heard me

[1:50] Mariano, because you have

[1:51] to recuse yourself from the

[1:52] 6021 88th Street project.

[1:56] That item is going to be

[1:57] automatically approved because

[1:58] Christian Rodriguez is not

[2:01] going to be able to attend so

[2:02] we won't have quorum

[2:03] for that item.

[2:04] And Javier Baena was

[2:05] automatically removed,

[2:07] he missed three meetings

[2:08] in a row.

[2:09] Oh jeez.

[2:12] So we're now down

[2:13] to five members.

[2:16] Okay, so who's today,

[2:17] so besides me today we've got

[2:18] Angel, myself and Rick is

[2:21] joining now. Rick.

[2:22] Rick and Danny, we would need

[2:24] Danny in order

[2:25] to have quorum. Yeah.

[2:28] So we'll have to wait, we'll

[2:29] wait a few more minutes and

[2:30] we'll give Danny a chance and

[2:33] then if he doesn't then

[2:35] like the first item,

[2:37] these items will move forward

[2:38] with the staff comments and

[2:41] recommendations and that's it.

[2:46] Okay.

[2:54] We'll just give them a few more

[2:55] minutes.

[2:56] So regardless right now, item

[2:57] one will be approved and

[2:58] everything else will go

[3:00] through staff, correct?

[3:02] Well, item one will has staff

[3:03] comments, there are some staff

[3:06] comments and some items that

[3:07] need,

[3:08] some adjustments that need

[3:10] to be made.

[3:11] So those will go through

[3:12] with all of those comments the

[3:15] same way as the second item

[3:16] will,

[3:17] if we do not have quorum.

[3:19] Okay.

[3:27] Oh, Rick is on.

[3:31] Yeah, I'm here. Good morning.

[3:34] Good morning, Rick.

[4:24] I just spoke to Danny he's

[4:25] going to show up.

[4:26] He's just having a problem

[4:27] with his computer.

[4:32] Thank you, Mariano.

[4:40] I didn't never get the link

[4:41] to this, to this meeting.

[4:42] Say that again?

[4:44] I never received the link to

[4:46] this meeting. I can't find it

[4:47] anywhere.

[4:48] Really?

[4:49] Well, luckily Marcus sent me

[4:50] the meeting ID, but I am

[4:52] searching my email high and

[4:53] low.

[4:56] That's strange because I did

[4:57] get it from Nikki and I did get

[4:58] it from Marcus.

[5:00] Oh, Danny's in.

[5:10] Good morning.

[5:12] Good morning.

[5:13] Good morning, Danny.

[5:14] Pardon me, I had some technical

[5:15] difficulties this morning.

[5:16] No, no worries. Okay, we have

[5:18] quorum now. Great.

[5:19] Yes.

[5:22] Okay.

[5:23] So what I lose, I'll recuse

[5:24] myself

[5:25] for the first item either way.

[5:26] And, but it still has

[5:27] to be read

[5:28] into the record and I'll,

[5:29] I'll.

[5:30] I'll just say, bye bye.

[5:34] Okay.

[5:35] So.

[5:37] Before we do that,

[5:38] before we do that, can we get,

[5:39] um, roll call?

[5:41] Uh, the pledge

[5:42] of allegiance and,

[5:43] and let's,.

[5:44] Let's get everybody

[5:45] on the record and then we can.

[5:46] move ahead and Danny as Vice

[5:48] Chair you are now acting Chair.

[5:51] So, um.

[5:54] You, you're ready,

[5:56] ready when you are.

[5:58] All right. If we could all

[5:59] please stand for the pledge of

[6:00] allegiance.

[6:05] I pledge allegiance

[6:06] to the flag.

[6:07] of the United States of America

[6:08] and to the Republic for which it

[6:11] it stands.

[6:12] One nation, under God,

[6:13] indivisible,

[6:14] with liberty and justice

[6:15] for all.

[6:18] All right.

[6:19] Could we have roll call

[6:20] starting with staff?

[6:21] Uh, Marcus Lightfoot here in,

[6:22] here in the commission

[6:23] chambers.

[7:23] I can go ahead and give them.

[7:24] Yes, Yes, please.

[7:27] give them access.

[7:34] So that they can do that.

[7:38] Okay. I see Mr. Rodriguez would

[7:47] Perfect.

[7:48] I'm with item number one.

[7:50] I just wanna make sure that we

[7:54] No, you guys are you guys.

[7:56] Uh, there's going

[7:57] to be no quorum

[7:58] for your items.

[7:59] So your item will go with all

[8:00] the staff comments that have

[8:17] So, uh, I guess there's no one

[8:18] else.

[8:19] So if there's going to be

[8:20] nobody speaking we don't need

[8:21] to swear anybody in.

[8:22] except Marcus. Marcus

[8:26] hand.

[8:27] You swear and affirm the

[8:28] testimony.

[8:29] You're about to give will be

[8:31] The whole truth and nothing

[8:32] but the truth.

[8:33] Yes, I do.

[8:34] Very good.

[8:35] Thank you very much.

[8:36] Uh, Mr. Chair.

[8:37] Uh, let's, we can read the

[8:38] first item.

[8:39] And that one will go

[8:40] without presentation.

[8:41] Okay.

[8:42] The first, or the second item

[8:43] on the agenda is DRB.

[8:46] dash two zero two six.

[8:49] dash zero two zero.

[8:50] The applicant is Arnaldo

[8:51] Valdez.

[8:52] Uh, location is five.

[8:53] One Southwest 59th Avenue.

[8:54] They are requesting a new

[8:55] construction

[8:57] for a two story home.

[8:58] Uh, this item came

[8:59] into the city on July 1st

[9:02] of this year.

[9:03] Uh,.

[9:05] And they're like,

[9:06] like I said,.

[9:07] They were requesting

[9:08] construction of, of,

[9:09] of a two story home.

[9:10] Staff has,

[9:11] has reviewed the application.

[9:13] And notes, notes,

[9:15] a few things.

[9:16] The site plan compliance with

[9:17] the dimensional requirements

[9:18] of the RS four.

[9:21] Zoning district.

[9:23] Uh, when I reviewed.

[9:24] Actually I'm reading.

[9:25] I'm reading the wrong one.

[9:27] I'm sorry.

[9:28] You were reading the first one.

[9:29] Yeah, I was reading the first

[9:31] one.

[9:32] Uh,.

[9:33] This item came in on June 18th

[9:35] of this year

[9:36] into the planning zoning.

[9:37] Department.

[9:38] The lot is 6,000 square feet.

[9:39] And currently has a 1,432

[9:41] square foot,.

[9:43] One story home that will be

[9:44] demolished and they are

[9:45] requesting approval to.

[9:46] Build a new single family

[9:48] residence

[9:49] on the structure.

[9:50] I'm sorry. On the property.

[9:51] Staff reviewed the proposed

[9:52] request and found that they

[9:53] comply with the.

[9:54] Dimensional requirements with

[9:55] the RS four zoning district.

[9:56] However,.

[9:57] It's important to note that the

[9:58] proposed site plan does not

[9:59] detail the.

[10:00] Physical barrier

[10:01] around the property.

[10:02] Uh, they're not required

[10:03] to have one.

[10:04] They don't have a swimming pool

[10:05] at the back,.

[10:06] But if they decided they do

[10:07] want to do one

[10:08] in the future,.

[10:09] They will need

[10:10] to pull a building permit

[10:11] with the city prior to the.

[10:12] Installation of that fence.

[10:13] Uh,.

[10:14] I also reviewed the landscape

[10:15] plan for the project and found

[10:16] that the.

[10:17] Project is not planting enough

[10:18] shrubs that are required

[10:19] by the code for.

[10:20] The code. You need 10 shrubs

[10:21] per required tree.

[10:23] For this property.

[10:24] Uh, for the,

[10:25] for this particular.

[10:26] Excuse me.

[10:27] For this particular property.

[10:28] The three site trees and two

[10:30] street trees are required.

[10:31] So at least 50 shrubs.

[10:32] Need to be planted.

[10:35] at this time they're proposing

[10:36] to put 35 in

[10:38] So they would just need

[10:39] to increase the number

[10:40] of shrubs planted.

[10:41] They're also exceeding the

[10:42] maximum sod.

[10:43] Allowed for, for that side as

[10:45] well.

[10:46] These items would need

[10:47] to be corrected prior

[10:48] to the issuance of the.

[10:49] Building permit.

[10:50] That said staff is recommending

[10:51] approval of the project

[10:52] with the.

[10:53] Conditions that I,

[10:54] that I outlined in the staff

[10:56] report that is attached.

[10:57] And I'm here available for any

[10:58] comment or questions you may

[10:59] have from the board.

[11:01] Thank you.

[11:02] Thank you.

[11:03] Would the applicant like

[11:04] to make a presentation?

[11:12] Do we have an applicant that's

[11:13] making a presentation?

[11:14] I see Mr.

[11:15] Arnaldo Valdez is present,.

[11:17] But I don't know if he would

[11:18] like to make a presentation.

[11:20] Uh, if we can, uh,

[11:22] just ask staff to let him.

[11:25] Oh, see, raise his hand,

[11:26] let him unmute.

[11:28] Um,.

[11:29] I would be happy to swear him

[11:30] in if he would like

[11:31] to testify.

[11:33] Does he need to have his video

[11:34] on?

[11:35] Uh, I would, I would prefer

[11:37] that. Yes.

[11:41] Hello.

[11:43] Mr. Valdez.

[11:45] Hello. How are you?

[11:46] Yes. Good afternoon. Good

[11:48] morning. Um, do you have a

[11:50] camera available?

[11:53] I just hit video. I should

[11:54] be.

[11:55] It says it's on. I should be

[11:56] able.

[11:57] You should be able to see me

[11:58] there.

[11:59] I think I see a big pink

[12:00] screen.

[12:03] Oh, there we go.

[12:05] Okay.

[12:06] That's better.

[12:07] Uh, Mr.

[12:08] Valdez, would you like

[12:09] to provide a presentation?

[12:10] No, I just wanted

[12:11] to make basically a comment.

[12:13] Uh, before you do,

[12:14] before you do,.

[12:15] I would have to ask you

[12:16] to raise your right hand.

[12:17] You swear affirm that what you

[12:19] were about to say is going

[12:20] to be the truth.

[12:21] The whole truth and nothing

[12:22] but the truth.

[12:23] I do.

[12:24] Very good.

[12:25] What about the architect?

[12:26] I do the phone.

[12:27] He's on.

[12:28] I don't know.

[12:29] I was having trouble

[12:30] unmuting and getting on

[12:33] on the call.

[12:34] So maybe he's having the same

[12:35] issue.

[12:36] And my partner, Jerry has also

[12:37] been unable to get on.

[12:38] So I do the might be on,

[12:40] but he might, I'm not sure if

[12:42] he's able or not able

[12:43] to get on.

[12:44] Could we provide access to

[12:45] Mr.

[12:46] Staff?

[12:47] Could we ensure they were just

[12:48] given permission?

[12:50] Okay.

[12:51] Let's see if we can get

[12:52] on there.

[12:56] But regarding Mr.

[12:57] Lightfoot's comments.

[12:58] I mean, we're,.

[12:59] We're fine with his comments of

[13:00] adding the additional shrubs.

[13:01] And, uh,

[13:02] I guess scaling back the sod.

[13:03] Um,.

[13:05] That's basically, you know,.

[13:07] Oh, I think I needed to say.

[13:08] It once you know,.

[13:09] He recommended approval just

[13:10] with those minor changes.

[13:11] We'll be fine with,

[13:13] you know,.

[13:14] Complying with those.

[13:16] Hello. Hello. Can you hear me

[13:17] now?

[13:23] I can.

[13:24] Good morning, everyone. My name

[13:25] is Arturo Fanjul.

[13:26] I swear the truth, the whole

[13:27] truth, and nothing

[13:28] but the truth.

[13:29] Is that all you need?

[13:30] We need to swear you in,

[13:31] Arturo.

[13:32] Please raise your right hand.

[13:34] Do you swear or affirm the

[13:35] testimony you're about

[13:36] to give will be the truth,?

[13:37] The whole truth, and nothing

[13:38] but the truth?

[13:39] I do.

[13:40] Very good.

[13:42] You may proceed.

[13:44] So 6501 was brought to me by

[13:47] Nani and Jerry Sanchez a couple

[13:50] months ago.

[13:51] We started the design process.

[13:52] Basically, it's a two-story

[13:56] house, contemporary looking.

[13:59] The idea is basically we're

[14:03] putting all

[14:04] of the public living space

[14:06] down on the ground floor.

[14:07] And the second floor has the

[14:08] four bedrooms upstairs.

[14:09] we maintain the seven feet

[14:17] on one side

[14:19] for the first floor and 12 feet

[14:20] on the opposite side.

[14:21] And then the second floor steps

[14:22] back so it's 12 and 12

[14:23] on both sides.

[14:26] It's got a flat roof with a

[14:30] parapet.

[14:33] I basically took the AC

[14:36] equipment and where I had the

[14:37] setback on the second floor,.

[14:38] I put the equipment

[14:40] on the second floor

[14:41] above the roof behind a parapet

[14:42] so they're concealed.

[14:43] From view,

[14:46] leaving the side lot

[14:47] of the area

[14:48] for landscaping and

[14:50] to handle any kind of water.

[14:51] Retention that's required.

[14:54] The landscaping plan, I'm

[14:55] surprised.

[14:58] I thought we exceeded the shrub

[15:01] requirement on the final plan

[15:05] that was submitted by

[15:06] Elizabeth.

[15:07] Elizabeth, the landscape

[15:10] architect is on the team. The

[15:11] Project manager for the

[15:13] landscape company is on the

[15:14] team. And she can address those

[15:16] items accordingly.

[15:22] The idea is, again, large

[15:25] windows, lots

[15:27] of light if you get to the

[15:29] elevations.

[15:30] I'm maintaining the existing

[15:31] driveway cutout.

[15:34] I'm not altering the two

[15:37] existing street trees so

[15:38] they're maintained.

[15:39] A lot of windows

[15:46] to the north and

[15:47] to the south.

[15:48] The rear of the house faces

[15:50] east. The front of the house

[15:51] faces west. Incorporating the

[15:54] side to the south has got a.

[15:57] The side to the south is where

[16:04] you can access the covered

[16:09] patio in the rear.

[16:13] From the dining room and living

[16:14] room. And

[16:16] then the west facade is where

[16:18] we have a nice large oak tree

[16:20] that blocks 80% of the sun.

[16:21] From the street tree.

[16:27] That's why the large window

[16:28] towards the front yard is

[16:29] there.

[16:30] I'm proposing some spandrel

[16:32] glass to make the transition

[16:33] for the floor so you don't.

[16:36] See any

[16:37] of that stuff and the

[16:38] transition of the deck.

[16:39] Then the vertical element is

[16:42] actually the stairs

[16:43] from within.

[16:45] Then the garage door would be

[16:49] an insulated door

[16:50] with vision panels to keep it

[16:54] in a nice.

[16:55] Contemporary look.

[16:56] Then the rear has a balcony

[16:57] off

[16:58] of the second floor bedrooms.

[16:59] You can kind of see

[17:02] on the north facade, you can

[17:04] see the parapet and you can see

[17:06] the two.

[17:08] Condensing units there

[17:10] on the setback.

[17:27] You guys want

[17:28] to add anything else?

[17:33] if you're asking me I'm

[17:34] fine with the

[17:35] Design you did and more than

[17:37] happy to add the additional 15

[17:38] shrubs that they.

[17:40] Require or requested and then

[17:42] scale back the side as required

[17:43] and or

[17:49] requested. Elizabeth if you're

[17:51] available can you can you touch

[17:53] on that subject if you can.

[17:54] Allow Elizabeth

[17:55] to speak? I will just need

[18:00] to swear her in. Elizabeth I

[18:01] need.

[18:06] You to please turn your camera

[18:07] on. I'm trying it's not letting

[18:13] me. There you.

[18:15] Are. Hi good morning my name is

[18:17] Elizabeth. Can I get you

[18:18] to please raise your right.

[18:20] Hand? You swear affirm

[18:23] testimony about to give will be

[18:24] the truth the whole truth.

[18:25] And nothing

[18:26] but the truth? I do. Thank you

[18:27] please proceed. Good morning

[18:30] everyone.

[18:31] The project manager

[18:32] for this landscape plan and

[18:34] in terms

[18:36] of the comments yes.

[18:38] The the request is correct the

[18:42] problem I see here is that the

[18:45] required shrubs.

[18:48] That were provided on this plan

[18:49] are per the trees that are

[18:51] required on site but.

[18:54] I believe the comment comes

[18:55] from the total amount

[18:56] of trees required on site.

[18:58] Which is five times ten equals

[19:00] fifty so we just have

[19:01] to adjust the plans to.

[19:03] Reflect that and by doing that

[19:06] we will also be reducing the

[19:08] amount of sod but I.

[19:11] Do have a question based

[19:15] on our calculations or based

[19:17] on our research?

[19:18] Further requirement is that the

[19:20] maximum lawn area that can be

[19:23] provided here is

[19:26] 50% Of the lot and

[19:27] in that case if the lot is

[19:28] 6,000 square feet that means

[19:29] that.

[19:31] The maximum lawn would be

[19:34] 3,000 square feet and we're

[19:36] proposing 2,635 square.

[19:39] Feet which is lower than 3,000

[19:41] so if we can just get

[19:42] clarification on that that.

[19:43] Would be great. sure. Go ahead

[19:44] Marcus. You go ahead.

[19:46] Yeah thank you I was trying to

[19:48] load up the code because

[19:49] the code says that the sod area

[19:52] is 60% of the open space but

[19:55] now give me one minute.

[19:56] I can read you the section

[19:57] of the code. Okay thank you.

[20:01] Regardless in the future.

[20:02] When they do put a pool

[20:03] in there that's gonna take a

[20:06] lot of the sod away anyway?

[20:07] So yeah and I'll give you

[20:10] Elizabeth and I'll give you my

[20:12] comments on some of the.

[20:13] Things that I see and then we

[20:14] can go from there. Okay yeah so

[20:17] the section is.

[20:18] 20-4.5F as in Frank number one

[20:19] and lowercase a it states

[20:24] for all residential.

[20:25] And mixed use

[20:26] with lawn area shall be limited

[20:27] to a maximum of 60% of the.

[20:30] Required landscape open space

[20:31] as required in section 20-3.5

[20:33] In residential.

[20:35] Zoning districts when landscape

[20:36] open space is not specified

[20:37] lawn area shall.

[20:39] Be restricted to a maximum

[20:40] of 50% of the net lawn area. I

[20:43] can understand where you.

[20:45] See you see the error but

[20:47] because this property has a

[20:48] maximum impervious.

[20:49] Coverage it indirectly has a

[20:52] minimum open space requirement

[20:56] of 50% so the.

[21:00] Maximum sod would be 60%

[21:01] of the open space.

[21:03] Correct again we don't have an

[21:11] issue I think we can make it

[21:12] happen I just are.

[21:13] Arturo I believe that your site

[21:15] plans show a open area

[21:19] of 50% that's why we.

[21:21] Took off that number so I just

[21:22] want

[21:23] to make sure we're both

[21:24] matching on the on.

[21:25] Your drawings but again it's

[21:27] not we're not finding the

[21:28] square footage we just.

[21:30] Finding out the or requesting

[21:34] clarification

[21:35] on the code so I'll go.

[21:36] Ahead and read the code get

[21:37] back with the team and adjust

[21:38] that it's not going.

[21:39] To be a big deal. Less lawn is

[21:41] better for water usage. Thank

[21:47] you I just want to.

[21:48] Point out that this this this

[21:49] project will be required

[21:50] to get a tree removal.

[21:51] Permit prior to the removal of

[21:52] any trees and there was a typo

[21:55] in the site plan.

[21:56] For the for the first floor

[21:59] building coverage I think it

[22:00] said 0% for the.

[22:01] First floor building coverage

[22:02] so I had to pull the number

[22:03] from from the.

[22:04] Diagrams that were provided

[22:07] by Mr. Fanjul. I don't have the

[22:09] drawings in.

[22:12] Front of me so I'm dropping my

[22:14] my son off in Indiana so I'm

[22:16] in the I'm in the.

[22:18] Car outside the campus. We do

[22:20] have a note on the tree

[22:22] disposition plan that.

[22:23] States that you do need a tree

[22:27] removal permit prior

[22:28] to any removals. Thank you.

[22:31] I just I just wanted

[22:33] to make sure because

[22:34] to get that started is going

[22:35] to swap.

[22:36] Because it does take a bit of

[22:37] time. Absolutely. And the LDC

[22:39] states that the zoning can't.

[22:41] Sign off on it on any permits

[22:42] for the construction

[22:43] until that until that tree.

[22:44] Was issued. Right or demo

[22:46] correct? No demo. Let me see

[22:47] what it says. Is the tree

[22:51] permit with you or with?

[22:52] Dade County? With the city,

[22:53] with me.

[23:26] I don't want to hold the

[23:27] meeting up I'm here looking

[23:28] forward if I find it while.

[23:30] You are discussing I'll I'll

[23:31] add it

[23:34] to the discussion okay. Okay

[23:36] thank you very.

[23:38] Much. Does that conclude your

[23:39] presentation? Yes. Okay we'll

[23:41] go ahead and.

[23:43] Open this to public comment do

[23:44] we have anybody on zoom or

[23:46] in chambers that.

[23:47] Would like to comment

[23:48] on this item? There is nobody

[23:50] in the chambers but myself.

[23:51] And seeing?

[23:53] Nobody on zoom we'll go ahead

[23:54] and close public comment.

[23:56] Let's go ahead and go to.

[23:57] Board members. Board member

[23:58] Corral I know you're lined up

[23:59] go ahead. Yes I am. I do.

[24:02] The first

[24:05] of all let me tell you that I

[24:06] like your home okay that's very

[24:08] important.

[24:10] And I do have some comments and

[24:12] I'll get back normally I do not

[24:15] speak about the.

[24:16] Architecture I normally leave

[24:18] it to Angel as the architect

[24:21] but even though.

[24:23] I'm entitled to it I try

[24:24] to stay away from me and stay

[24:26] in my lane but I must.

[24:27] Say these things. First

[24:29] of all your articulation

[24:30] of your elements it's not.

[24:32] Boring they're interesting the

[24:35] front of the house has a lot

[24:37] of movement the rear.

[24:39] Of the house has a lot

[24:42] of movement on the south side

[24:49] of the house again your.

[24:51] Windows are perfectly balanced

[24:53] out there is a gap of a wall

[24:54] but we'll talk.

[24:56] About that in terms

[24:57] of our landscape and all.

[24:58] On the north side

[25:00] of the wall is the.

[25:01] Only area that I'm having an

[25:03] issue with but I'll leave that

[25:05] to Angel to make a.

[25:06] Comment he can correct me if he

[25:07] feels that I'm incorrect I just

[25:09] feel that is.

[25:10] Too much of a blank wall and

[25:12] there's nothing there

[25:14] to break it up unless you.

[25:15] Use vegetation so and having

[25:16] said all that you do have a

[25:19] septic tank and.

[25:23] Drain fill don't you? No no

[25:24] this is we're on city sewer.

[25:28] Okay but the report that I.

[25:29] Read said that you were on

[25:32] septic tank and this is where I

[25:33] wanted to make sure.

[25:35] And clarify that so you were

[25:36] you are on sewer so we're good

[25:39] to go from that.

[25:43] Aspect because then down then

[25:46] we would have had an issue I

[25:47] wish you we would at.

[25:48] Least put a pool in there even

[25:49] though you could have said pool

[25:50] by general.

[25:51] Contractor and so forth because

[25:52] that'll give us a feel so

[25:53] there's a pool.

[25:56] Conceptualized

[26:00] but the the team's not ready to

[26:01] do it just yet and we want to.

[26:03] Get we want to get

[26:05] under construction before we

[26:06] tackle that item. I mean.

[26:08] Eventually you're not just

[26:10] bring it in back

[26:11] to the city anyway. Depending

[26:12] on how.

[26:17] This meeting goes we'll figure

[26:19] out whether we whether whether

[26:20] we submit.

[26:21] With it or without it we don't

[26:22] know yet. Okay so going back

[26:25] to that north side of.

[26:26] The wall my concern is that we

[26:27] don't have any photographs

[26:29] of what the.

[26:30] Neighbors are what do they have

[26:31] on both sides but your design

[26:33] in terms of the.

[26:35] Size of the lot just fits

[26:36] perfectly in my opinion okay.

[26:41] Thank you I work the.

[26:42] Number seven ways from

[26:43] Sunday. And so but a and so I

[26:45] don't know how the boat.

[26:48] Will feel now

[26:52] but I'll leave it again that

[26:53] to Rick and Danny and Angel

[26:57] to to,

[26:58] See if they see what I see. In

[26:59] addition not knowing what all

[27:00] the underground.

[27:03] Utilities are because you do

[27:05] not show them we have to work

[27:08] with you. I am one.

[27:09] Of the we'll we here our board

[27:10] members we try to work

[27:12] with the applicant to.

[27:14] Make it easier for you to go

[27:16] through this whole process okay

[27:18] and see and.

[27:19] Mention things that I see. So

[27:21] getting

[27:22] into the landscape portion

[27:23] of it this.

[27:25] Thing I came up

[27:27] with nine trees that need

[27:28] to be placed

[27:29] on this site two of.

[27:31] Them you've got them on the

[27:32] right-of-way four is based

[27:34] on mitigation and then the.

[27:36] Three

[27:37] for lots however my good friend

[27:39] Marcus is gonna say well if

[27:43] they're.

[27:44] Gonna put four trees for

[27:45] mitigation you're already

[27:46] covering the three for.

[27:48] The lot so we're good to go.

[27:49] So you're absolutely correct we

[27:52] need about 70.

[27:53] Shrubs that we need to put

[27:54] in here. But Elizabeth my

[27:55] concern is just having.

[27:58] FICA shrubs coming up

[27:59] along just on the side of the

[28:01] walkway doesn't give me a.

[28:03] Good balance on the

[28:07] on the landscape in terms of

[28:09] the house. I understand what.

[28:11] Arturo is trying to do you got

[28:14] those big windows you got the

[28:15] big tree but the.

[28:16] Ground plane is all grass

[28:19] there's nothing else

[28:20] in the front of that house.

[28:21] Well there's a swale there

[28:23] for water retention. Yeah

[28:26] that's fine

[28:27] but that does not mean you.

[28:28] Cannot put any shrubs does not

[28:29] mean I mean Elizabeth is a

[28:30] creative person she.

[28:31] Could come up with something

[28:33] and I don't know what

[28:34] but again I'm trying to work

[28:38] With you because she has an oak

[28:39] tree on the north side corner

[28:42] by where the Crate Mural

[28:44] is and I think that's a

[28:45] wrong choice of tree because

[28:46] oak trees hate.

[28:48] Feet and that's gonna collect a

[28:50] lot of water in addition

[28:51] to that I think that.

[28:53] She should use something

[28:54] smaller because the house is

[28:57] smaller you're trying to.

[28:58] Show off your home I'm trying

[29:00] to find a balance for you okay

[29:02] well I will take the.

[29:03] Hit because I threw the I threw

[29:04] the live oak next to that was

[29:06] me not that was not.

[29:07] That was not Elizabeth so

[29:14] Elizabeth I'll fall on that

[29:15] grenade my dear.

[29:19] for you to understand sometimes

[29:20] I get reprimanded.

[29:22] Here because I don't follow the

[29:23] land development good I look

[29:24] at the site I.

[29:25] Look at what the proper trees

[29:26] and species should fit

[29:28] on that site from.

[29:30] That aspect if we have to go

[29:31] by the code you have

[29:34] to put large canopy trees in.

[29:35] Here and I asked myself this

[29:37] question where in the hell you

[29:38] gonna put because.

[29:39] Of the tightness of the house

[29:41] and the way that we will grow

[29:43] but Elizabeth.

[29:45] You're too Spanish stopper I

[29:49] have one in front

[29:50] of my house it took 16 years

[29:51] for.

[29:52] It to grow to 16 feet 16 years

[29:56] I planted in 2005 and it wasn't

[29:59] into 2016.

[30:00] That the darn thing was big so

[30:02] those are the areas that I

[30:04] think you ought to.

[30:05] Consider by switching because

[30:06] you also have to calculate

[30:08] for the energy.

[30:09] Calculation zone that we are

[30:10] required eventually when your

[30:14] pool comes in that.

[30:16] Will be a different issue I

[30:18] thought your choice

[30:19] in the back of the Ardisha was

[30:20] Excellent that was teamwork

[30:22] with Arturo okay let me tell

[30:24] you the backside with.

[30:26] That those trees grow to be 15

[30:29] feet they'll go

[30:30] for a jar you know relatively.

[30:32] Fast it's gonna give you a

[30:33] color your hamelia patterns

[30:36] again in one season.

[30:37] They should go to be

[30:39] about four feet in height in

[30:41] two season you'll grow bigger.

[30:42] So your choice of palette is

[30:45] not my problem it's the lack

[30:46] of landscape that.

[30:48] Is my problem and this is where

[30:50] I think that you guys should

[30:51] balance it out I'm

[30:53] More concerned with the front

[30:54] I'm more concerned

[30:55] with a north side of that.

[30:59] Neighborhood take a second look

[31:00] and then go from there

[31:01] otherwise I think I I I.

[31:03] Don't have any additional

[31:07] comments from that aspect.

[31:08] Does a Creeping Fig

[31:10] Count as of shrub no I wouldn't

[31:15] mind greenwalling the north you

[31:16] know the.

[31:17] North side with them and listen

[31:18] we'll regroup after this.

[31:19] Thank you yeah the. She knows

[31:25] what to do.

[31:26] But again I understand because

[31:27] of the big window

[31:28] in the front and you want to.

[31:29] See that what kind of a low

[31:32] shrub you can you remember

[31:33] you've got to meet the.

[31:34] Woody shrubs and if you use

[31:36] Takahachi grass and so forth

[31:38] well that's counted.

[31:40] But it's not considered woody

[31:41] so as long as you have 70 woody

[31:42] shrubs you're good.

[31:45] To go thank you board member or

[31:46] member Lopez if you could

[31:48] continue and please.

[31:49] In the effort of time so we can

[31:51] land this keep your comments

[31:52] concise thank.

[31:54] You yes hey how's it going guys

[31:56] I generally I like I

[32:01] like the design I.

[32:02] Just had some questions

[32:04] with regards to the floor plan

[32:06] versus that rendering.

[32:07] That you guys presented it

[32:08] doesn't seem

[32:09] like the front or the rear

[32:10] of these.

[32:12] Renderings are consistent

[32:13] with what you presented

[32:14] on the floor plan maybe just.

[32:16] Provide some clarification and

[32:18] then you know just

[32:20] for you guys personally go.

[32:22] So the renderings they're not

[32:24] precise because I don't do 3d

[32:26] renderings I put.

[32:27] My floor plans into chat and

[32:29] did the best I could

[32:30] to tell the chat what I.

[32:31] Needed and that's what came up

[32:32] with it's close it's not

[32:35] perfect I think it.

[32:37] Conveys the idea

[32:38] of what we're trying

[32:40] to accomplish

[32:41] but it's it's it's not.

[32:44] Perfect okay I mean it's kind

[32:47] of tough for us difficult

[32:48] for us to review set.

[32:49] Of drawings I guess I can I can

[32:50] cut you know from my years

[32:51] of experience as an.

[32:53] Architect I could kind of

[32:54] understand what you're

[32:55] providing I guess so the.

[32:56] Floor plan is dictates the

[32:58] design right that's what you're

[33:00] telling us well my.

[33:01] Floor but I mean I tried my

[33:03] floor plan and my my my

[33:04] elevations don't look at.

[33:07] The render if you look at the

[33:08] floor plan and the elevations

[33:09] that's where you need.

[33:11] To really the elevation that

[33:12] the renderings may not truly

[33:13] depict precisely.

[33:18] What I was trying

[33:19] to accomplish but the floor

[33:20] plan and the elevations do

[33:21] okay?

[33:25] All right so yeah if that helps

[33:26] you visualize yeah yeah I it

[33:28] helps yeah it.

[33:30] Helps a little bit yeah okay

[33:32] because I see that the front

[33:33] you know your main.

[33:36] Entrance is not really is

[33:38] standing

[33:40] behind the the glass right

[33:42] from your.

[33:43] Living room it's not really

[33:45] standing proud like it seems

[33:47] on the rendering and.

[33:48] Then I guess the elevation now

[33:49] I can kind

[33:51] of see what you're trying

[33:52] to do.

[33:54] My suggestions

[33:55] architecturally you know I'm

[33:58] okay

[33:59] with a design you know the.

[34:00] Design is fine I see you have

[34:01] many you have a lot

[34:03] of glass which I

[34:04] like and you.

[34:06] Know we'll talk about the

[34:08] on the side elevation like

[34:09] Mariano alluded to but the.

[34:10] Front the front door just make

[34:12] sure that your landing has

[34:15] sufficient space it.

[34:16] Looks like the door is

[34:17] like swinging right

[34:18] to the edge

[34:20] of the landing and.

[34:21] Sometimes that could be

[34:22] problematic with you know

[34:23] people not understanding like.

[34:24] Maybe give it give it a little

[34:26] bit more or space and

[34:27] on the landing I need from.

[34:28] Zoning is can my steps encroach

[34:30] into the front setback and if

[34:32] so how much okay.

[34:33] Well just I guess discussed

[34:34] that with a with zoning

[34:35] at a later time I just that's.

[34:43] Just a suggestion

[34:45] architecturally if you can

[34:46] expand on that on that step

[34:47] on the.

[34:48] Ground floor if allowed

[34:49] by a setback by zoning then I

[34:51] would do that just so the.

[34:52] Door doesn't open right

[34:54] into the edge of that of that

[34:55] step the second thing is as.

[34:57] You walk in on the stairs the I

[35:01] see that the second floor I

[35:03] realize that the.

[35:04] Second floors has handrails I

[35:05] didn't see it

[35:06] on the ground floor

[35:07] but you're gonna.

[35:08] Be providing those handrails

[35:09] correct I just want

[35:10] to confirm handrails

[35:11] for where.

[35:13] For that for the stairs as soon

[35:14] as you walk

[35:15] in no when you walk

[35:17] into the house.

[35:18] When I walk into the house I

[35:19] was I was gonna make those

[35:20] steps 14 inches so that?

[35:21] I could get away I think it's

[35:22] less than three steps if I have

[35:24] to throw a hand.

[35:25] Rail I'll throw a handrail but

[35:27] I was hoping I did why not no

[35:28] no no the.

[35:29] Stairwell inside the house to

[35:30] the second floor that's gonna

[35:31] have that's gonna.

[35:32] Have handrails it'll have it'll

[35:35] have handrails on the inside

[35:37] on the inside?

[35:39] Only not not against the wall

[35:43] okay all right yeah okay

[35:44] because I'm just.

[35:47] Clarifying because I think

[35:48] you're because your your floor

[35:49] plans do show.

[35:50] Handrails on the second floor

[35:51] against the wall okay

[35:52] but I don't think I have.

[35:56] The last four steps coming

[35:58] down I don't want

[35:59] to cross my window but again

[36:01] Don't have my plans in front

[36:06] of me I apologize I'm going

[36:07] off of them yeah.

[36:08] Well I don't know what you're

[36:09] gonna do if it's gonna be glass

[36:11] or what you're.

[36:12] Gonna do on that second floor

[36:13] but you know I would I would

[36:15] suggest that you.

[36:16] You know provide handrails or

[36:19] glass or something guardrails

[36:20] or something on.

[36:21] That second floor because I

[36:23] right now I just I facing the

[36:24] front of the house I.

[36:25] See that there's a handrail

[36:27] that stops there and there's

[36:29] like an there's a.

[36:30] Ledge there and I don't know

[36:31] that's glass or what that is so

[36:32] just be clear.

[36:37] With that okay and maybe add

[36:40] that to your ground floor plan

[36:41] as well so that.

[36:42] It's clear that you're gonna

[36:43] have handrails I only see it

[36:44] on the second.

[36:47] Floor okay can can somebody pop

[36:49] up the screen and show that the

[36:51] floor plan is.

[36:52] That something that can be done

[36:53] to show the let me see if I can

[36:54] do this here.

[36:57] Can what's this can Marcus yeah

[37:01] I can do it if it's that's an

[37:04] issue yeah can you?

[37:07] Can you share the ground floor

[37:09] plan actually I should what do

[37:10] you a corral?

[37:11] You just hit share over here

[37:13] and then you yeah you say share

[37:14] yep and pick your.

[37:15] Screen yep and pick the screen

[37:17] all right cool let me do this

[37:18] can you guys see my.

[37:21] Screen yes it's showing up yeah

[37:24] yeah all right cool so sorry I

[37:27] had a split.

[37:29] Screen there so yeah on the

[37:30] ground floor here the handrails

[37:31] there there are no.

[37:33] Handrails showing on the ground

[37:34] floor you know yeah that's

[37:35] gonna be a glass.

[37:36] Guardrail yeah oh that's gonna

[37:39] be a glass guardrail okay

[37:40] because on the.

[37:41] Second floor I see handrails

[37:42] correct correct it's gonna be

[37:43] correct yeah.

[37:44] That's the glass guardrail yeah

[37:46] with a handrail yeah yeah yeah

[37:47] that's that's.

[37:48] The way it should look yeah

[37:49] okay so you are gonna have

[37:51] handrails against the.

[37:52] Wall okay yeah all right on the

[37:53] ground floor when you walk

[37:56] in this air this.

[37:57] Foyer is kind of tight I know

[38:00] that there's a stairwell right

[38:01] in front of it.

[38:02] But just make sure that this

[38:04] feels you know nice and nice

[38:07] and open right I don't.

[38:08] I wouldn't

[38:09] like what's what's gonna be

[38:10] underneath the stairs is that

[38:11] gonna. Well

[38:12] here's a pop there's a powder

[38:14] room there's a powder room

[38:16] proposed towards.

[38:17] The top end there you go so the

[38:19] worst case scenario I could do

[38:21] is oh yeah so.

[38:26] The worst I mean if I had

[38:27] to I could reduce the size

[38:28] of the that that the.

[38:29] Wall element the screen wall

[38:30] element between the living room

[38:31] and the dining.

[38:33] Room and I could theoretically

[38:34] do a switchback staircase

[38:35] because it's a.

[38:37] Four-foot wide it's a pretty

[38:39] wide staircase so yeah that's

[38:41] that that's.

[38:42] Possible too yeah okay board

[38:44] members board members I

[38:46] apologize for the.

[38:49] Interruption I don't want

[38:55] to interrupt too much

[38:57] but I do also want

[39:00] to remind.

[39:01] Our scope of review is related

[39:04] more to the outside and the

[39:05] compatibility with.

[39:07] The neighborhood rather than

[39:08] you know I'm sure I I don't

[39:12] doubt that it is is.

[39:15] Helpful and and and all that I

[39:17] just want to make sure that

[39:18] that we are clear that.

[39:19] Our our scope of review is to

[39:20] the outside and that and that

[39:22] these.

[39:23] Suggestions you know this board

[39:25] does not have jurisdiction

[39:29] over the interior.

[39:30] Layouts and

[39:31] of the house I didn't want

[39:33] to make that clear I it's good

[39:34] to help.

[39:36] And I just want to thank you

[39:37] thank you thank you thank you

[39:39] city attorney I was.

[39:41] Just about to jump

[39:42] in and say the same thing

[39:43] for two reasons one it's not

[39:44] in our.

[39:45] Scope but two in the effort of

[39:46] time I know we all have things

[39:47] to get right if.

[39:48] We could stick

[39:50] to the rails stay in the guard

[39:51] rails and let's let's go ahead

[39:52] and

[39:53] land this please thank you yep

[39:56] I get it so

[39:57] on the side like.

[39:58] Mariano said there's not

[39:59] there's not much there isn't

[40:01] much many windows or.

[40:03] Anything maybe maybe you could

[40:05] have something here

[40:06] in the garage and and I.

[40:08] Don't know you know the kitchen

[40:09] that's up to you the design you

[40:10] know I don't.

[40:11] Know if you want

[40:12] to add any kind of windows or

[40:13] anything here yeah the most.

[40:14] I could do there is I could do

[40:15] a backsplash window

[40:16] to make a long linear.

[40:17] Window because I do need the

[40:18] cabinet space above so right

[40:19] that I could go.

[40:20] Away I could I could create the

[40:23] little streamlined you know the

[40:24] little the.

[40:25] Instead of being a backsplash

[40:27] it's it's a window it just

[40:28] needs something to be.

[40:30] Just to break up maybe you

[40:32] don't need a window just break

[40:34] up that space yeah I.

[40:36] Did the stucco pattern there's

[40:39] a scoring pattern

[40:40] with the stucco that I that I?

[40:41] Was proposing that made it look

[40:43] more linear and stuff

[40:44] but we can look

[40:46] at that?

[40:47] I can look at some other stuff

[40:49] okay it's a suggestion that's

[40:50] up to you guys and.

[40:51] Then the garage sometimes

[40:52] people want even if it's a

[40:53] frosted window so you can.

[40:54] Get some light

[40:56] in yeah I was doing that

[40:57] with the garage door

[40:58] but yeah I guess I.

[40:59] Could do it on the north side

[41:00] because that's free light

[41:01] you're right it's free

[41:02] Light true yeah it's just a

[41:04] suggestion and then you've

[41:06] clarified the rear I'm.

[41:07] Looking

[41:08] at the rendering it doesn't

[41:10] show like you have so you're

[41:11] not gonna do a.

[41:12] Pool right now and you're not

[41:13] doing the handrails you are

[41:14] doing handrails even.

[41:15] Though those aren't showing in

[41:16] the rendering sorry I was just

[41:17] confused but.

[41:19] Everything else I guess seems

[41:20] fine to me just make sure if

[41:21] you are proposing a.

[41:23] Pool in the future you have

[41:25] plenty of you have enough space

[41:26] back there with.

[41:27] Your swale and everything yeah

[41:30] that's that's that's where it's

[41:31] supposed to.

[41:32] Go all right enough points

[41:35] let's put it that way thank you

[41:36] board member Lopez.

[41:39] Board member urban do you have

[41:40] any comments I have no comments

[41:42] at this time.

[41:43] Thank you okay so they just

[41:46] I'll summarize my comments most

[41:47] things have.

[41:48] Been mentioned this the you're

[41:51] switching from septic

[41:53] to sewer or you.

[41:54] Were always

[41:56] on sewer this property Nani are

[41:59] we under the impression that

[42:00] it's?

[42:01] That it's that it's on sewer

[42:02] and there's manholes

[42:04] down the street so yeah.

[42:06] Correct correct okay so there's

[42:08] not an existing separate thing

[42:09] you need to.

[42:10] Remove no no not that we're

[42:11] aware of okay and then my other

[42:12] comment is I.

[42:14] Appreciate the line

[42:15] to put the AC units on the roof

[42:16] and and and creating some.

[42:19] Sort of a parapet barrier my

[42:22] concern is that very often

[42:25] especially with the.

[42:26] Changes in equipment especially

[42:27] as the seer keeps going up

[42:28] those those hidden.

[42:31] Items become unhidden and so I

[42:34] just want to make sure the city

[42:35] is is focused on.

[42:38] Continuing that because it does

[42:39] become a pretty big eyesore

[42:40] especially in a.

[42:42] Residential area when those

[42:43] units start peeking over the

[42:45] the wall yeah and then.

[42:49] Lastly I would say I think this

[42:50] is a great case study I have

[42:51] been seeing this.

[42:52] Throughout the industry with AI

[42:54] renderings and I think we we

[42:56] want to see.

[42:57] If maybe we put something

[42:58] in place as a city as to what's

[43:00] allowed and not allowed.

[43:02] Because there is just a lot

[43:03] of distance between reality and

[43:05] what AI is coming up.

[43:06] With that concludes my that

[43:08] concludes my my comments and

[43:10] couldn't we get a.

[43:13] Motion I'll make a motion

[43:16] for approval with staff

[43:17] comments and board member.

[43:18] Comments give me a second I

[43:21] second that excellent okay.

[43:23] Board member Carl how do you

[43:25] vote yeah yes board member

[43:26] Lopez yes for me.

[43:31] Board member urban yes and I do

[43:33] vote yes thank you very much we

[43:36] look forward to.

[43:37] Your successful project so

[43:38] quick questions so I don't have

[43:39] to come back.

[43:40] To this board I have to address

[43:42] the comments and then I got a

[43:45] pull a tree.

[43:46] Permit before I can go

[43:47] into permitting or can go

[43:48] into permitting concurrently.

[43:49] With the trees you can start

[43:50] permitting because that's going

[43:51] to take a bit of.

[43:52] Time but zoning can't approve

[43:53] the building permit

[43:54] for the home until that.

[43:56] Permit issued I found this

[43:57] section of the code because you

[43:59] have an umbrella.

[44:00] Tree on the property that's

[44:01] that's one of the items that

[44:03] are triggering this.

[44:04] Section it's let me go back

[44:07] to I was looking

[44:08] at something else but the.

[44:10] Section states it's 20 that's

[44:14] 4.5 F for F prohibited

[44:19] in control plant species.

[44:20] Shall be shall not be counted

[44:21] towards fulfilling the tree

[44:22] requirements.

[44:24] Property owners shall be

[44:25] encouraged

[44:26] to remove prohibited

[44:27] in control plant.

[44:28] Species prohibited in control

[44:29] plant species shall be removed

[44:30] from the.

[44:31] Property before a permit for

[44:32] construction other than

[44:33] renovations of.

[44:34] 50% Or less of an existing

[44:35] structure is issued and if

[44:37] issued no work shall be.

[44:38] Permitted until all prohibited

[44:40] and controlled plant species

[44:42] are removed.

[44:43] From the site so we go straight

[44:46] into tree removal and I would

[44:48] make sure we.

[44:50] Protect the trees in the park

[44:53] make sure you're protecting

[44:55] make sure you put up.

[44:56] Your protective barriers yes if

[44:59] you do not that that is a

[45:01] violation of our land.

[45:04] Development code it is all

[45:07] those notes about violations

[45:08] and what needs to.

[45:09] Happen prior to anything is

[45:10] on the notes

[45:11] for the contractor

[45:12] to review and.

[45:14] Acknowledge prior to going

[45:15] into contract with us okay

[45:16] by the way let me just say.

[45:19] This to you Elizabeth and the

[45:20] owners technically

[45:22] from my perspective I would.

[45:25] Have deferred this the

[45:26] landscape to come back

[45:28] at a later date

[45:29] but because now?

[45:30] Everything is tied

[45:31] in if I would have gone for

[45:33] deferment that means that the.

[45:34] Architecture also as well I'm

[45:37] gonna trust you Elizabeth that

[45:38] you are going.

[45:40] To provide the proper landscape

[45:41] that we requested and so forth

[45:42] and the balance.

[45:43] That we requested and staff

[45:44] will review that because we'll

[45:45] never see this again.

[45:46] All right but again

[45:48] in the past we have been hurt

[45:50] by it and so I'm gonna trust.

[45:53] You because I know Diego and I

[45:54] know you guys will do a good

[45:55] job on this thing.

[45:56] So that's why we will thank you

[45:58] guys you have our word thank

[46:01] you thank you thank.

[46:02] You very much if we could go to

[46:06] the next item please next item

[46:11] are the meeting.

[46:12] Minutes for anybody have any

[46:14] comments on the meeting minutes

[46:15] no hearing none all.

[46:20] In favor okay can I get a motion

[46:21] for approval motion

[46:24] for approval and a.

[46:26] Second I'll second that all in

[46:28] favor aye any opposed hearing

[46:33] none motion carries.

[46:34] If there is no other closing

[46:36] comments we will see you

[46:38] at the same time same.

[46:40] Station next month and yes an

[46:43] item number one just

[46:44] to be clear was there was.

[46:46] No quorum and so it moved

[46:47] forward with all of staff's

[46:50] comments as noted okay.

[46:52] Understood you're welcome and

[46:54] really quick because Javier

[46:55] Baena was to chair.

[46:57] And he was rude I think it

[46:58] would be best that we do board

[46:59] elections so we pick a.

[47:00] New chair and vice chair for

[47:02] the board if you want I can put

[47:04] it on the next.

[47:05] Agenda can we do it right now

[47:06] can we do it right now because

[47:07] I already got my I.

[47:08] Got already gonna tell you I

[47:09] I'd say Danny to continue as

[47:13] board chairman of.

[47:15] The design review board if you

[47:16] want

[47:17] to do that just know that

[47:18] Chris Rodriguez is.

[47:19] Not here but if you want to do

[47:20] it now that's your choice what

[47:22] do you say mr.

[47:24] City attorney it up

[47:27] to the will of the board

[47:29] members present they want

[47:30] to do it.

[47:31] Now or they want to do it next

[47:32] time either one was fine okay

[47:35] with that said.

[47:36] Then I would say that we got a

[47:37] motion to hear the item

[47:39] in this meeting under one.

[47:42] Condition that condition is we

[47:45] stay here on this board and

[47:47] review everything no.

[47:49] Matter how long it takes thank

[47:51] you very much that that that is

[47:53] not a that that. That condition

[47:56] will not be enforcable I am so

[47:58] sorry I think there's actually

[48:03] rules on how long we're.

[48:04] Allowed to stay here that is

[48:07] correct all right so I make a

[48:08] motion that Danny.

[48:09] Guerra should be motion

[48:10] hold on we need a motion to hear

[48:11] the item. Where's the freaking

[48:16] item? Somebody would need to

[48:21] make a motion

[48:22] To elect a new board chair in

[48:24] this meeting. And that would be

[48:28] Chair and Vice Chair.

[48:32] Chair and Vice Chair.

[48:33] So i would just need a motion

[48:34] to elect a chair and vice chair

[48:37] in this meeting

[48:38] somebody can make that motion

[48:39] that would be fine. I would like

[48:41] to make a member of the board

[48:43] I would like to make a motion

[48:45] to elect a chair and vice-chair

[48:48] of the design?

[48:49] Review board this meeting

[48:51] in this meeting in this meeting

[48:55] do we have a second I'll second

[48:56] that. Thank you okay okay

[49:01] everybody in favor say aye aye

[49:04] any opposed hearing none.

[49:07] Motion carries now somebody

[49:11] like to make a motion for chair

[49:14] I make a motion that.

[49:15] Danny Guerra should be the

[49:16] chair and who and we can do two

[49:21] separate motions or.

[49:22] You can do a motion

[49:23] for a chair and a vice-chair

[49:24] at once or we can do a.

[49:25] Separate motion for the

[49:26] vice-chair I would make a

[49:29] separate motion separate.

[49:31] Motion then so there's a motion

[49:33] for appointing mr. Guerra as

[49:37] chair is there a.

[49:39] Second I will second that so

[49:42] all in favor please say aye aye

[49:45] aye okay any.

[49:49] Opposed so that motion carries

[49:51] so mr. Guerra is now the chair

[49:53] and we would.

[49:55] Like to also have a vice-chair

[49:57] so I motion on a vice-chair I

[50:04] make a motion.

[50:05] For Angel Lopez

[50:06] for vice-chair mr. Guerra I

[50:10] don't think you can make the

[50:11] motion.

[50:12] Since you were technically the

[50:13] chair okay so we'll have

[50:15] to make the motion I.

[50:17] Make the motion for Angel

[50:18] Lopez to be vice-chair I'll

[50:20] second that okay so all.

[50:26] In favor aye aye.

[50:33] Any opposed no mr. Guerra your

[50:38] vote is yes mr. Lopez your vote

[50:40] is yes yes very.

[50:43] Good okay then mr. Lopez you

[50:45] are the vice-chair very good

[50:48] mr. Guerra you're the.

[50:49] Chair and I think that that now

[50:50] includes the business

[50:52] for today sounds good. First

[50:56] I'd like to say thank you all

[50:57] for the trust and honor

[50:58] in the position and I.

[51:00] Will continue to lead one thing
