[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.

[7:24] Yes, Yes, please.
[7:27] give them access.
[7:34] So that they can do that.

[7:47] Perfect.
[7:48] I'm with item number one.

[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

[8:17] 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
