I'm trying 85 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,840 to kill time. 86 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:06,720 All right, it's 9:15. We're going to open up a public hearing of Llama Land 87 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,160 Use and Zone Commission. Uh the purpose of this hearing is to 88 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,880 allow the public to comment either for or against zoning request to reszone the 89 00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:20,240 following addresses below from residential to commercial for the use of 90 00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:25,520 a battery storage facility. We have one that is at 645 Lasas. We have another 91 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,840 6,770 Lasas. 92 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:37,120 Uh another one that is uh 5,900 5,982 93 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:44,240 US highway 90 waist west at Lake Ridge and another one is 229 holdup pass. 94 00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:48,960 [clears throat] We can um save a little bit of time. 95 00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:52,960 If you want to speak on one or speak on all of them, you just come up and talk. 96 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,639 Okay? So anybody that wants you're going to have to be real careful. 97 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,400 » Okay? >> You were a quorum. 98 00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:01,440 » Okay? >> I would rather you didn't. Okay. 99 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:06,400 » Yeah. Uh for the record, uh 100 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:11,120 Commissioner Garcia, and I referred to him as commissioner. He's a county 101 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:18,560 commissioner for precinct 3. Uh and he was fixing to to make a statement. As of 102 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:22,720 right now, uh I am the county judge for county and we have another commissioner, 103 00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:29,360 Commissioner Vosquez, which is uh precinct 2. We are a quorum right now 104 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:34,240 and we can be but we can't have a conversation amongst ourselves three of 105 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:38,400 us and definitely cannot conduct any business. So that is the reason that 106 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,720 I've asked Mr. Garcia not to not to speak. I do believe though that his 107 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:48,080 comments would be that he's uh probably against all four sites to the three that 108 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:53,599 would be reszoned but all four sites for battery storage facility. But I'd rather 109 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:58,319 that we don't get in an issue with a quorum being here and we've actually 110 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,840 made a decision. Uh which would be worse. Okay. So, anybody else? Sorry. 111 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:11,039 » If [clears throat] anybody else would like to come speak, please uh stand up, 112 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:16,960 state your name and um your comments. >> Good morning. Uh my name is John Grace. 113 00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:20,879 I live on um Holdup Pass and Lasus. So this this is uh going to affect uh 114 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:25,759 myself and [clears throat] um my residents. I'm against all four of them 115 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:32,240 basically. Um the uh first reason is because of the 116 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:37,200 hazard that they um can produce if there's a fire. Um if one of these 117 00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:41,440 things decides to uh catch on fire, there's going to be toxic smoke in a 118 00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:46,399 residential area. the um there's going to be groundwater contamination when 119 00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:50,399 they try to put this fire out because um the runoff is going to have be full of 120 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:55,839 uh heavy metals and things like that. it's going to get into the groundwater 121 00:08:52,720 --> 00:09:03,600 there where a lot of us we have wells in our um on our land and um the if we get 122 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:08,080 heavy metals in our well then we're I mean we got to move you know there 123 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,920 there's no uh there's uh going to be very difficult to to uh live on that 124 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,200 property and the other thing about fires is that 125 00:09:14,136 --> 00:09:19,839 [clears throat] they're very hard to extinguish with these um battery storage 126 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:23,279 units because they don't my understanding thing is they don't really 127 00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:30,080 need oxygen to burn. They somehow provide their own oxygen. So it is um a 128 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:33,920 bear to put these put out these fires. And um also I just wanted to 129 00:09:32,476 --> 00:09:38,320 [clears throat] mention that since we are fighting this whole second bridge 130 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:44,399 debacle, we are very or at least I am very hyper sensitive about any uh 131 00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:50,800 section of residentially zone property being changed to commercial because um 132 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,800 like I say, we still don't we still don't know where this uh connector route 133 00:09:52,959 --> 00:10:01,440 to this bridge is going. If it's going down Loses or not, we don't know. So, um 134 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:06,640 I'm just uh uh against uh all of them, even the one um that's going to be that 135 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:11,600 they want to build on Highway 90 because it is uh currently a commercial zone, 136 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:18,079 but is just too close to other residential areas for uh such a 137 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:22,279 hazardous uh project. And that's it. >> Thank you, sir. Thank anybody else. 138 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:31,200 And we got time, folks. So, >> hi guys. 139 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,680 My name is Ramul Ranel. I own a residential property neighboring one of 140 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:42,320 these uh uh properties on Lisa's Boulevard. I'm opposed to reszoning 141 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:46,079 uh for the residential to from residential to commercial for battery 142 00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:51,040 storage. I person I purchased my property not too long ago like two three 143 00:10:47,839 --> 00:10:56,399 months ago. uh with thinking of more private privacy uh about acreage uh came 144 00:10:53,839 --> 00:11:00,399 from Buav Vista and uh the application they're asking 145 00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:06,480 for isn't asking for permission to improve like an existing uh an existing 146 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:13,079 uh commercial lot already. Uh they're asking to change the residential to 147 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,079 commercial. Right. 148 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,399 So before approving this, I would like to 149 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,040 the commission to explain at least uh what protection exists for adjacent 150 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:31,120 homeowners. Um mine would be exactly like right next to it. Um what the 151 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:39,040 property lines would look like, stuff like that. Maybe the plans uh uh uh for 152 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:45,200 the fires uh any plans for fires uh for the water like uh he said as well. their 153 00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:49,920 emergency evacuation. Um, I have a 3-year-old and a one-year-old. Uh, I 154 00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:53,519 really don't want anything like that to happen, right? Or to leave my comfort of 155 00:11:51,839 --> 00:12:01,360 my home. Uh, I looked at the one behind the jail. 156 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:06,800 Uh, it makes some noise. So, I the noise at least right at night. I do work 157 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:11,360 midnight sometimes and uh during the day or something. It doesn't matter, right? 158 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,720 uh just anything that would be making noise for people around residents, 159 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,720 right? [clears throat] Um 160 00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:24,480 the effects it could have also on our property values. I don't know if 161 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:29,040 anybody's done like a a study if it would or would it, but if it were to 162 00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:34,240 happen, uh uh the people that are actually trying to put this u in place, 163 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:39,040 would they guarantee anything uh that it wouldn't? And if and if they can 164 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:42,240 guarantee it, uh would they put that uh maybe let's say it drops a certain 165 00:12:40,959 --> 00:12:46,079 amount of money, would they be willing to give me that or they want me to take 166 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,639 the burden for the financial loss as well? Um 167 00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:55,360 even after all the stuff that could happen, right? Cuz hopefully it doesn't 168 00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:59,760 happen. Um let's say they they do go through with it. Uh nobody's hoping for 169 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:05,040 a fire hazard, but let's say it does, right? Um nobody's ever ready for it. 170 00:13:02,959 --> 00:13:10,200 And and if we are, I would like to know at least what what what plans we have. 171 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:16,000 If the application maintains that this project would negatively affect 172 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,560 neighboring property values, will the applicant provide adjacent homeowners 173 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:26,560 with a property value gu guarantee like I said? And if not, uh like I said 174 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:30,560 again, uh why would the residents have to bear the financial risk created by 175 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,880 commercial reszoning that we did not request? 176 00:13:32,209 --> 00:13:38,079 » [snorts] >> and uh I'm against it. So that's it. 177 00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:41,480 » Thank you. >> Anybody else? 178 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:50,800 » Morning. My name is Chris Vandicar. I live in Holdup Pass. Uh I'm against the 179 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:55,360 zoning, not so much the battery thing. That's I'm just against zoning the 180 00:13:52,800 --> 00:14:00,320 residential area for commercial. I've been blessed with the opportunities over 181 00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:03,519 my life to travel around the world. been a lot of places where they don't have 182 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:07,600 any laws. They're not any places you want to live. You know, we want to raise 183 00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:12,240 a family there. We want to live there. I've moved out there for peace and 184 00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:15,760 quiet. And we start just doing willy-nilly resilient stuff. Next thing 185 00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:20,639 you know, you got you got a Smith plant next to an elementary school. You got a 186 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:25,680 dump next to a church. These are not the things why we have zoning laws. So, I I 187 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:30,000 just there's plenty of places in this county for commercial operations. 30 188 00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:33,125 zone commercial. We don't need to be going into people's neighborhoods and 189 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,000 going, "Oh, we're going to put [clears throat] this here, put this 190 00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:39,839 there." Not against development. People that own 191 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:45,760 those property have a right to develop their property, but in the residential 192 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:49,040 zoning area under those rules. So, I'm against that. Thank you. 193 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:53,320 » Thank you. Come on up. You already started moving. 194 00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:55,450 [clears throat] 195 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:05,120 Hello, my name is Orlando. I live on 6644 Lresas. Uh my property's uh also 196 00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:11,600 adjacent to one of these uh properties going in place. Uh and I'm here to 197 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:15,519 oppose all four. Um uh a little bit about my background. You 198 00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:19,680 may or may not care. I'm an industrial engineer by trade. Uh work in everything 199 00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:24,399 from renewable energy, solar projects, wind to oil and gas. Uh, I could go into 200 00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:28,320 heavy details about the environmental aspects of this, but I'm not going to 201 00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:31,360 bore you with a bunch of, you know, uh, nerd talk about environmental. I think 202 00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:35,839 you guys, everybody kind of well aware of the environmental hazards, but I will 203 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,360 talk to you about something you guys are probably even more familiar, which is 204 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,000 business. You guys are all here obviously because you guys are I think 205 00:15:40,959 --> 00:15:46,720 it's fair to assume that you guys are all pretty good at business, right? Or 206 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:54,320 very well knowledgeable. So, I'll put I'll take that approach, right? Um, so 207 00:15:51,199 --> 00:15:59,680 as uh my uh neighbor here put it, you know, it's going to there's no guarantee 208 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:04,000 that that our uh nobody's going to guarantee us our property values, right? 209 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:09,680 So I want everybody to just [snorts] 210 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:16,000 think critically, right? The average home price in Las Vistas is is about 211 00:16:12,959 --> 00:16:23,839 $380,000 on the very very cheap side to well over half a million dollars. Right. 212 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:26,320 Every year I have to go to the uh uh >> appraisal 213 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:31,120 » appraisal district because they keep raising my values, my property values, 214 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,000 right? Uh, I've actually had a commissioner, not one of you guys, but 215 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:38,000 one of the previous ones tell me at one of those uh appraisal hearings that, you 216 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:42,160 know, because obviously I contested it. They're like, "Hey, if you can't afford 217 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:45,839 to live here, then you need to move out, right?" So, one one of you guys, not you 218 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:50,021 specifically, not one of you five, but somebody passed that was in one of 219 00:16:48,079 --> 00:16:53,839 those. [snorts] Um, so you can't have it both 220 00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:58,880 ways. You can't tell me that. You can't keep raising my values every year and 221 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:04,079 then not back me up when my values could potentially go down. Now, why do I bring 222 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:08,160 up the the home price? Like I said, Lakeage is probably the priciest 223 00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:13,120 neighborhood in Valbury County or Del Rio, right? You guys love talking the 224 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:16,079 out of us. Pardon my French. >> Um, 225 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:20,319 we appreciate what you pay. >> Yeah, I'm sure you do. I'm [laughter] 226 00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:24,959 sure you do. Everybody Everybody gets a lot of stuff fixed. 227 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:29,039 But uh the point I'm trying to make is uh when you have a half a million dollar 228 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,400 home as I do, right? And I'm not trying to freaking brag. I work my ass off to 229 00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:36,080 get to that point, right? I come from nothing. Uh you might know my family, 230 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:40,400 judge. My my mother lived right across from your father on Galberry Park State, 231 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:44,387 right? I come from very humble beginnings. I worked my ass off to get 232 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:49,280 to where I am. >> [snorts] 233 00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:53,520 » Um, and where I'm going with this is if you let this happen, 234 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,919 when I try to sell my house at some point in the future, cuz let's be 235 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,559 honest, most of our kids are not going to stay and live here. Our kids are 236 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,000 going to go on to college. They're going to move out. We're going to die. Our 237 00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:05,280 house is there is like generational wealth, especially for those of us that 238 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:09,039 come from households that didn't have a lot of income, right? So, that's how you 239 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,480 build generational wealth. Whenever we try to sell that and you have a half a 240 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:16,480 million dollar home at that point by that's time they try to sell it will be 241 00:18:13,679 --> 00:18:20,400 worth more potentially and you have people in the market looking for a half 242 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,280 a million million dollar home and they have choices right you as you as a 243 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,080 business people you have a choice. You're going to spend half a million 244 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:31,600 dollars on a house. Are you going to pick a house next to a monstrosity of of 245 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:35,200 battery storage or are you going to pick somewhere that's nice you don't have to 246 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:39,120 worry about the environmental hazards and you don't have to worry about, you 247 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:43,200 know, the eyesore that's going to be next to you? Where would you choose to 248 00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:49,200 spend your hardearned money? Definitely not my house, right? So, this is allowed 249 00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:55,840 to happen. Our houses that are in that vicinity will never sell. Not 250 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:59,840 residential, right? That's pretty fair. Um, you could try to bank on the 251 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,400 commercial aspect. You don't know if somebody else is going to offer you know 252 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,720 commercial business going to offer you. Are they going to want to pay a million 253 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,919 dollar half a million million dollars for a property that they're just going 254 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:14,160 to demolish to build a business? Chances are no, right? That's I just ask 255 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:17,840 everybody to think critically. Now, if furthermore, if you allow this to 256 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:22,960 happen, you set a precedent. This meeting is kind of uh like it's 257 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,559 kind of messed up for me because I have friends and family here that also live 258 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:31,120 on Lake Bridge. Some of them who are for 259 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:34,720 it, right? Because they want to build businesses, right? And I I feel for 260 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:41,039 them. I honestly do. My heart goes out to them because I think everybody 261 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:45,679 everybody in this world is their goal is to better yourselves, right? And better 262 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:49,200 your family. However, I can't I have to do what's best for me 263 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:53,760 and my family. And although I feel for them, their interest is not in my best 264 00:19:51,679 --> 00:19:58,160 interest. Right? I think there's also has to be accountability. Each and every 265 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:02,960 one of us when we purchase a land out of Lakeidge, we got a a list of the deed 266 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:07,440 restrictions. In our deed restrictions, it says you cannot commercialize. You 267 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:11,039 cannot subdivide your property. So, what is the point of a deed restriction? 268 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:14,640 buying property in a deep restricted area. Basically, it's like the poor 269 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:18,559 man's HOA where those are not going to be 270 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:22,720 enforced, right? So, are we going to set here 271 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,039 where we're not going to enforce these restrictions and then everybody can do 272 00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:29,120 whatever the hell they want? So, if I want to put a junkyard, I can do it, 273 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:33,120 right? If I want to do it, I love You know what? I'm a gun enthusiast. I have 274 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:37,440 probably more guns than most people in this room. Hey, I don't mean that in a 275 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:42,000 in a threatening way. I just mean like it's my hobby, right? I love, you know, 276 00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:45,440 I'm a poor Marine. Uh, it's a hobby. I love shooting guns. I'd love to be able 277 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,720 to just go in my backyard and shoot my gun. I would love that, right? But 278 00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:54,799 there's restrictions against that, right? I have to be a law-abiding 279 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,080 assistant, a law-abiding neighbor. I don't want to put anybody at risk, 280 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,280 right? I'd love to just go out my backyard and shoot deer and and and 281 00:21:00,234 --> 00:21:06,000 [clears throat] flink stuff all day long. That's not 282 00:21:03,919 --> 00:21:09,280 possible, right? Cuz I have to follow the rules. So should everybody else. 283 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,640 Everybody got a copy of the fee restrictions. You should you should hold 284 00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:15,760 yourself accountable for not reading those and you weren't informed or you 285 00:21:14,159 --> 00:21:21,360 didn't think you could make a business, right? And if now you want to change it, 286 00:21:18,159 --> 00:21:25,360 then hey, that's that's not what this neighborhood's about. We want to keep it 287 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,320 uh familyfriendly, we want to keep it quiet, 288 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:33,200 the reason a lot of us left there is we wanted to escape the city, right? We 289 00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:36,640 wanted peace and quiet. We wanted a little bit more of nature. So now you're 290 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,960 going to put all these you know, monstrosity business out there and not 291 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:46,240 to mention the fact that like my neighbors already brought up. Uh there's 292 00:21:44,159 --> 00:21:50,559 always that scare about the the whether the bridge is going to happen, right? On 293 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:54,640 a personal level, I think the bridge is good. I mean, that's another another 294 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,840 subject. I'm not against the bridge project. I just don't want it going 295 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,720 through my neighborhood, right? I think it's it's good economically, but none of 296 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:06,000 us want money going through our neighborhood, right? 297 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:11,679 Uh, [snorts] so anyways, uh, I could go on and on and 298 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,679 tell you so many more things, like I said, but I'm not going to sit here and 299 00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:19,039 and bore y'all. I think it's pretty pretty obvious that most of us are 300 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:22,000 against it. And and my heart goes out to you guys that want to build businesses 301 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:25,679 out there, but you should hold you should hold yourself accountable for any 302 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:30,240 of the restrictions, right? And if and if I lose friends and family along the 303 00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:33,520 way, then so be it. the I have to do what's in the best interest of my kids, 304 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,799 my family, just like they're trying to do what's in the best interest of 305 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:40,640 theirs. That's that's all I got to say. >> So, you're against it? 306 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:44,039 » I am definitely against it. >> Anybody else? 307 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:54,480 » I want to make a comment. I sure hope that this does not divide people or 308 00:22:51,919 --> 00:22:56,640 families to where I mean, it's all it's just opinions. 309 00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:01,280 » Yeah, just opinions. All right. Good morning, all one and all. Thank you. 310 00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:05,760 uh LVES I live on Pike Road which is not too far away from one of these 311 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:10,720 locations. I am categorically against all four projects. Uh main reason of 312 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,840 course has been brought up safety and everything else. At this point 313 00:23:12,545 --> 00:23:17,520 [clears throat] I know the capabilities of the county fire department and the 314 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:22,000 city fire department. They are not capable of handling any kind of fire at 315 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:28,880 any location. I'll give you an example right now. 2024 May Ot Mesa California. 316 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:34,640 A smaller one and I believe this one over here is set for 400 megawatts. A 317 00:23:31,679 --> 00:23:40,000 smaller 250 megawatt fire in O Mesa, California battery storage facility 318 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:45,520 consumed an estimated 8 million gallons of water and took 16 days to completely 319 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:51,600 burn out. The county and city do not have the resources and manpower to fight 320 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:56,400 that kind of fire at all. Even with help from Kenny County or the base, it's not 321 00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:00,720 going to happen. If the county thinks that they have 8 million gallons of 322 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:06,320 water as an estimate to spare, please show me the plans on how something can 323 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:10,559 be fought as far as a disaster. There's nothing here that the county can do 324 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:16,320 should something go up in flames. These are man-made objects. Man-made objects 325 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:19,760 will fail, okay? They are not perfect. Now, we're not hoping for a fire, but 326 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:24,880 should something really bad happen, disastrous fire, that's it. County fire 327 00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:29,760 resources will be stretched to the limit. And also, your other fires that 328 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:34,960 may happen, other emergencies that could happen, they'll be put on hold. It took 329 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:39,840 16 days for fire crews to put out or wait for this one to burn out or burn 330 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:43,760 out completely in Mesa, California. The county or city don't doesn't have those 331 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:51,159 kind of resources. So, I am against all four projects. Thank you. 332 00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:51,159 Thank you. Anybody else? 333 00:24:52,107 --> 00:24:54,127 [clears throat] 334 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:04,240 » Uh good morning. My name is Abraham Kadinas. I also live at Lakeidge. Uh I'm 335 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:08,240 against the the reszoning of these properties to be commercialized. Uh 336 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:12,400 mainly because of that reason. It's it's a residential area. Um and we've all 337 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:16,080 agreed before we purchased these properties that we weren't going to 338 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:20,559 commercialize them. for residential use. So, that's that's uh pretty much where I 339 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,840 draw the line. Uh as far as the safety aspects, those are all important as 340 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:28,400 well. I'm not against uh battery storagees, just not in my neighborhood. 341 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:33,372 Uh and Mr. Grace said, they are dangerous fires. Uh they fall under 342 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:37,039 class D. I was in the Navy and we we [clears throat] uh trained heavily on 343 00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:41,120 firefighting because a fire on board a ship is very very dangerous. And uh 344 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,400 assuming I haven't seen what type of batteries these are. I'm assuming 345 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,440 lithiums. uh it's going to fall under a class D fire and you can't put those out 346 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,880 with water. That's why the gentleman was talking about the millions of gallons of 347 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:55,279 water. It's because you can't put them out with water. It's they they they just 348 00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:59,200 continues to burn. Some of them produce their own oxygen. So on the ship, we had 349 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,640 to jettison this stuff over over the side of the boat and put it into the 350 00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:07,279 ocean. That's the only way you get rid of it. It's going to continue to burn 351 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:12,799 underwater and do its thing. So it it is a danger. Um they mentioned about the 352 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:18,240 hazards of the se uh leakage into the the groundwater. That's also a danger as 353 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:22,640 well. And I'm also opposed to the whole it feels like the whole area is starting 354 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:26,720 to wanting to go industrialized from the bridge that they want to add uh could 355 00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:30,400 potentially put a commercial lane right through our neighborhood. Now these 356 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:35,279 storage facilities I have to deal with the uh Camp Alpha flood lights uh 357 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:39,840 shining into my backyard. That's a whole other thing. But it it just doesn't feel 358 00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:45,039 like it it did when I first moved out there where we wanted the the peace and 359 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:49,919 quiet. Um enjoy our neighbors. You know, I love my neighbors and um to see it 360 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:53,919 starting to slowly industrialize. I'd like to put a stop to that. So, I'm 361 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:57,120 against uh the reform. >> Thank you. 362 00:26:55,919 --> 00:27:01,559 » It seems like everybody in here is against it. I mean, every one for 363 00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:11,440 » Good morning. >> Morning. I got out of work so I can come 364 00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:16,000 talk to you guys and I am against this whole battery deal thing. My name is 365 00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:22,240 Berta Huarees. I live on Las Brisas. It is myself, my husband and my dad. And we 366 00:27:19,919 --> 00:27:27,520 are totally against all of this. The noise it would make, the property value, 367 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:32,640 what everybody else has said here. This is my retirement home. 368 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:37,840 This is my husband's retirement home. This is my dad's retirement home. We 369 00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:43,600 don't want the noise. We want nature to be nature. We still see the blooms of 370 00:27:41,679 --> 00:27:47,520 the [snorts] senos out there. It's just so beautiful. It's quiet. Michelle, 371 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:51,360 you're not too far from there. You're not too far from there. I don't know 372 00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:56,480 where everybody else lives, but we're not far from there. I mean, we're right 373 00:27:53,600 --> 00:28:01,760 on Las Vegas. So, we are totally against this, and I hope and pray that this 374 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,760 doesn't go through. Thank you. Thank you. 375 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:15,919 How you doing? My name is Marcela. I live right there on uh on Las Visas and 376 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,120 uh um where is it? 377 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,120 » Lena. >> Lena Weed right there in the corner. I 378 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:26,320 already sold you guys a piece of my property so you can guys can build that 379 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:31,279 loop. And I'm moved out there so I can be in peace and quiet. And now I got all 380 00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:37,440 this stuff going on. Nama against those batteries going on there. 381 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:42,360 » Uh, you've moved twice. Are you gonna get up? [laughter] 382 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,360 » Yeah. 383 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,880 » I just wanted to make sure everybody else got chickens. Uh, thank you for 384 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,880 giving us the opportunity to come out here and talk. We appreciate it. Um, I'm 385 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:56,720 just here to find out more information and see what's going on uh with it 386 00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:02,320 because I live in the neighborhood out there. How did y'all decide on those 387 00:28:59,919 --> 00:29:05,919 plots of land and what? >> We don't decide. Uh there's individuals 388 00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:08,240 that came to us. That's where they wanted to put them and that's how we're 389 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,720 here. >> So, is it like a corporation that came 390 00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:14,159 and said they want >> to do it? There was a 391 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:19,679 » What's the name of the group? >> It's a business that is trying to um put 392 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,280 those battery charges on your properties. 393 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,159 » A lot of these also, it isn't [clears throat] the company that will 394 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,720 come out and say, "I'm the company. I'm going to put them out." Mhm. 395 00:29:27,279 --> 00:29:31,679 » Most of the time you'll have a group, but that's what they do. They go out and 396 00:29:29,919 --> 00:29:35,840 look for batteries for places to put them. Then they try to secure the site 397 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,600 in order to be able to sell the site to uh to the company. 398 00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:41,279 » Gotcha. >> Okay. It's like the data centers. Most 399 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,480 time the data center won't come in. It'll be a [clears throat] group come in 400 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,520 and that's what they do. They try to develop an area and say, "I've already 401 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,200 I've already got the permits. I've already got this. I've already got that. 402 00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:52,640 Here's a package. Do you want to buy?" >> Sure. 403 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,720 » Okay. Okay. I'm not saying that that's what happens here, but I would assume 404 00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:59,840 that with all four of them coming in, they're hope hope hoping one of them 405 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,279 will hit. >> Gotcha. So, this isn't y'all as the 406 00:30:01,679 --> 00:30:07,120 county saying we want to [clears throat] go and put this battery storage. 407 00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:08,880 » No, I don't. We wouldn't bring it up. >> Okay. 408 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:13,760 » I will give you a little bit of history. The battery storage facility that is out 409 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:18,159 at uh on Old Hamilton behind the jail, >> they came and asked for incentives and 410 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:22,799 indictments. County said no. We had no zoning authority over there and could 411 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:26,720 not tell them. uh not filled. >> Gotcha. 412 00:30:23,679 --> 00:30:30,000 » Uh but they didn't build within with any incentives from the county or any 413 00:30:27,919 --> 00:30:35,520 absence. As a matter of fact, we were against it couldn't stop it. 414 00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:40,960 » Gotcha. The concerns that that all of y'all had uh every one of the concerns 415 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:47,200 that y'all spoke about, Commissioner's Court, uh when that other battery 416 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:52,720 facility came had all the concerns. We don't have uh 417 00:30:49,679 --> 00:30:59,440 we don't have uh the capability to put it out if it goes boom. Okay. Uh just 418 00:30:56,399 --> 00:31:05,520 don't uh they you know their assurance was that uh it's not going to go boom or 419 00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:10,480 hell [laughter] you know and and and and then when we looked at it right we were 420 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,440 right next to a prison. >> Mhm. 421 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:19,360 » Uh I've got 1,400 people there. What am I going to do with them? 1,400 people 422 00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:25,120 basically just throwing throw away. >> Yeah. 423 00:31:19,919 --> 00:31:28,799 » Right. And now with these, we've got people uh just as close. 424 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,840 » Yeah. >> Not uh not as many people in such a 425 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:39,120 confined environment, but again, what are y'all going to go do? So, uh what 426 00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:43,279 the way this works is we have people that come in, want to put something 427 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:48,036 there, change the zoning, we have to bring it here. the Thomas zoning because 428 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:53,039 that is one of the few places. [clears throat] Well, we have some 429 00:31:49,679 --> 00:31:56,799 authority around the base, but this is probably the place the only place that 430 00:31:55,519 --> 00:32:01,600 the county actually has zoning authorities around around the lake. So, 431 00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:07,039 if you want to change it, needs to come to come to this uh group here. This 432 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:11,279 group here will make a recommendation yes or no. And then it'll be put uh Did 433 00:32:09,919 --> 00:32:17,279 y'all put it in the month? >> It's going well today. So it'll be put 434 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:21,440 whatever recommendation from this uh board whatever that recommendation is 435 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:25,372 these agenda items will be put on September 9th next Wednesday for the 436 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,880 commissioner's court to vote. Okay. [clears throat] 437 00:32:25,919 --> 00:32:32,080 I don't know how the rest of commissioner is going to vote but I will 438 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:36,880 tell you that the last one that came uh we didn't have the authority to stop it. 439 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:41,600 These right here the court has the authority to stop it because it's within 440 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:44,640 our stock zone. stop it or or or let it continue 441 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,279 » based on what the constituents the feedback 442 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,360 » it be the feedback and the opinion of the commissioners and the members of the 443 00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:54,000 court. >> I I I don't want to to say something 444 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,679 that I'm shutting that I'm I'm talking for the other members of the court. 445 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,960 » Sure. >> Okay. 446 00:32:56,399 --> 00:33:03,440 » Uh but I will tell you that in the past there was no insinus no abatements and 447 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:10,320 if we could have uh stopped it that court would not have allowed it the one 448 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:18,559 that came in uh behind the jail. Okay. >> Uh that is a strong u [clears throat] 449 00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:23,360 strong message. Uh but again uh it this board will make recommendations 450 00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:26,080 for or against today. >> Mhm. 451 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:29,760 » It'll go September 9th next Wednesday to commissioner's court. The items will be 452 00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:36,399 on commissioner's court and then the court will vote uh for or against. Okay. 453 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:42,000 » Okay. But uh I don't think we've ever had uh the court go against what this 454 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,200 board has said. >> Okay. 455 00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:47,120 » Okay. >> What you guys say? 456 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:52,159 » Don't I will say uh y'all showed up today. I think some of 457 00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:54,720 y'all need to show up on the 9th. >> Okay. 458 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,559 » Same place here. >> What time? 459 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,000 » All right. >> Do you know what time it is on the 460 00:33:57,679 --> 00:34:03,360 night? >> We It'll be at 9:00. And if we have as 461 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:07,200 many people as we have here, his agenda items are later on in the in the agenda. 462 00:34:05,679 --> 00:34:11,040 Carlos, uh his agenda items are later on in 463 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:14,000 commissioner's court. But if we have this many people show up for an item, 464 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:17,839 then we'll go through the pledge of allegiance. Uh go through about three or 465 00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:21,839 four items that we needed just to just to get started and then we'll move this 466 00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:24,399 item up front. Uh if we have people show up, if there's not a whole lot of 467 00:34:23,359 --> 00:34:28,320 people, then we'll go through our regular agenda items and when we get to 468 00:34:25,919 --> 00:34:32,079 the item, we'll get to it. Uh, but if we have people show up that are concerned, 469 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,560 we will push it up front >> and get it over with. 470 00:34:33,359 --> 00:34:40,119 » Great. >> Thank you very much. And thank you. 471 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:40,119 » For the record, I'm against it. 472 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:47,359 » Uh, are y'all okay if we go to the item? >> She was about It was a young lady about 473 00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:50,359 to get up. >> Okay. 474 00:34:50,560 --> 00:35:00,800 » Hello. My name is Joselyn Morales Vardosio. Uh, I do represent the company 475 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:06,000 that has put these items on the agenda. Our name is MU Group. I do apologize if 476 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:10,320 this is the first time that we're meeting, but thank you so much for 477 00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:17,040 coming today. I do hear you and hear your concerns. Um, 478 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:21,569 just a basic overview, I suppose. Uh, I am for the zoning of the four 479 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:27,520 properties. I do see that there's [clears throat] an overwhelming amount 480 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:32,640 of people against it. Um, and I do believe, um, 481 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:36,960 we do like being transparent. So, I'm sorry if maybe you didn't have all the 482 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:42,079 information on hand since this is more of the pre-permitting steps where we 483 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:46,079 don't actually supply the entire permitting package, but if you do want 484 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:50,480 more information, we'd be happy to supply it and everything. 485 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:55,680 The project that we were looking to do at the four locations are one megawatt 486 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:59,599 each. So that is one of the smaller projects that you'll come across with 487 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:05,280 battery energy storage. They are unmanned. So far we do have a clean 488 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:10,880 safety record which I know with the news it might not be the most 489 00:36:07,839 --> 00:36:14,560 uh forthcoming with all the other things going on with the country and other bus 490 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:19,920 systems. This does look like a typical shipping 491 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:25,040 container. So, it's only 40 ft by 10 ft. Um, I do hear that people were concerned 492 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:30,160 about the noise and the fire as well. We do work closely with different fire 493 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:35,520 departments, fire marshals, volunteer fire departments as well. We do have an 494 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:40,640 emergency operations plan that was approved in February by the PUCT. So, we 495 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:45,119 do renew that every single year with them. We do have double containment 496 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:49,520 within the system. So, there aren't any leaks as such. people were mentioning 497 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:56,160 where it would cause any type of toxicity or contamination to water or to 498 00:36:52,960 --> 00:37:00,480 soil in the surrounding areas. We do also have a fire suppression system with 499 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:05,280 aerosol. And then there are several triggers within the system itself that 500 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:10,560 would stop anything before it were to happen. For example, there's smoke, gas, 501 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:16,640 heat detectors, and everything. And it is monitored remotely by a Texas company 502 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:20,000 24/7 365. >> Where are they at? 503 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,880 » The where they at? You're saying they're it's being uh monitored, but where are 504 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,560 they at? >> Uh it would be within Texas. Um they're 505 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:31,359 usually had >> 5 miles 10 miles 100 miles. 506 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:35,440 » It's usually in Dallas or Houston. And if there were something to happen where 507 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:40,640 someone needs to come in person, someone would be sent within a day or two just 508 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,160 depending on who's the closest Awesome. >> A day or two. 509 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:48,800 » A day or two. >> Yes. But if anything serious were to 510 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:55,760 happen, they do shut off the system before they would deploy someone. 511 00:37:52,480 --> 00:38:00,240 » Yes. And I do understand, you know, you have to listen to your constituents. 512 00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:05,520 Whatever your recommendation or your decision is, we do understand it. We 513 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:11,280 respect it. Um, I do want to thank you for your time. I know it maybe was a lot 514 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:16,240 to come with four projects. We do have a prospection team that looks at 515 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:20,079 proposed sites that would be a good selection for doing it. They 516 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:24,800 unfortunately don't always look at the permitting aspect of things. Um, so 517 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:30,800 that's where I come in to do more of the footwork and see what can be done or 518 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:36,400 what the whole permitting process is. So if you do find any information that you 519 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:43,520 would want to learn more about um I do have for you to contact me 520 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:47,040 um and I can share other documentation with you guys [clears throat] 521 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:52,640 um in case you'd like to learn more and it 522 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:59,760 is unfortunately a lot of material like paperwork to read through um 523 00:38:57,599 --> 00:39:04,560 and additionally I know it takes time. I know you mentioned September 9th for the 524 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:08,320 commissioner's court. >> So from here to then whatever the 525 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,960 » I have a question if you don't mind. >> Can we ask questions as well? 526 00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:13,200 » Of course. >> And you go first. 527 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:17,920 » You can go first. >> Uh why don't we build these things out 528 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,640 further away from everybody? >> Well, 529 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:25,520 » and when we asked the company uh when they came and built this one right next 530 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:30,400 to prison or jail, >> I mean, basically all you need is power 531 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:34,560 line, right? you're hooking in uh to a power line and and I'll give you my 532 00:39:33,119 --> 00:39:37,839 opinion and they might not like it, but if you were to build it somewhere away 533 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:41,119 from everything, pick a power line out there in the middle of nowhere, if it 534 00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:44,960 goes boom and catches everything on the fire, all I got to worry about is grass 535 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:50,480 and then I can I can wait for the for the facility to burn out. I just put the 536 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:55,200 grass out around it. Uh it really concerns me and and I'm not a voting 537 00:39:52,320 --> 00:40:00,720 member here, but I will be on Wednesday. Uh it really concerns me where where 538 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:06,240 where everybody's picking to put them. Okay. Uh this the data center, 539 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:10,160 everything else, you just I don't understand why, right? If you if 540 00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:14,880 you were to put them out in the middle of nowhere because they're not going to 541 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:18,640 be manned. You don't need anything. Uh they're just throwing power. 542 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:22,160 » Why would you put them in the middle of of a community? And again, I'm not 543 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:26,800 throwing rocks. I'm just trying to get it under that you you showed up. So, I'm 544 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:32,960 trying to understand [laughter] uh again, all you need is is the big 545 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:39,760 power lines, right? Uh in order to hook up to But but we're not doing that. 546 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:44,480 We're got a room full of people. And I guarantee you that if I was if I lived 547 00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:50,160 out there, uh I'd have been one of the first ones to talk uh and probably he 548 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:56,640 used some words that I use and I'd have used some other ones. Uh but but it's 549 00:40:53,359 --> 00:41:00,880 really difficult. Uh you know I think we all come from the same background that 550 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:05,599 we all work for what we have and again not throwing rocks but 551 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:08,560 why would you pick a spot like this? Why wouldn't we pick something out to where 552 00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:11,680 when you bring it for one I wouldn't have zoning authority if it does go if 553 00:41:10,319 --> 00:41:16,800 it does catch fire there's nothing around it. I can tell you that that we 554 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:22,400 visited with people from the base. We we visited with the city uh uh our our 555 00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:25,760 county fire department when this thing came in. 556 00:41:23,839 --> 00:41:30,400 » What are we going to do, you know, if something happens? And again, I mean, 557 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,400 you're what you're doing and and the areas, you know, you're going to set it 558 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,400 down, you're going to do this, you can do that, but we're going to plan for the 559 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:41,359 worst case scenario. We don't have the capability uh and and 560 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:46,800 we'd be out there just trying to keep the smoke down and and and keep 561 00:41:43,839 --> 00:41:54,400 everything else from from burning. Uh but we had a we had a u 562 00:41:51,280 --> 00:42:01,040 train the other day that that hit and and it wasn't leaking, but if it had 563 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:04,640 just begun to leak, then you you put the thing in the computer and it tells you 564 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,720 you you put in the wind and everything. I had to evacuate 565 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:13,119 » Mhm. >> a big part of town, right? And in a 566 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:17,200 hurry. And that's my concern. And again, I'm not I'm glad you showed up because 567 00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:23,200 it takes a lot to show up to something like this and I appreciate it, but it is 568 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:27,200 a concern for me. Again, we just went through this thing with the train, 569 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:32,000 » did not leak, went out there, saw it, looked at it, they unloaded it and 570 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:36,079 everything, but if it had been dripping, it had caused a nightmare for us and for 571 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:40,640 all the citizens in that area. depending which way the wind was blowing then you 572 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:43,839 know and we all have our little orange books and our little yellow books that 573 00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:47,599 tells us what type of hazard is this is what you're supposed to do put put it in 574 00:42:45,839 --> 00:42:52,000 the system then we're supposed to evacuate I'd rather not be put in that 575 00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:58,079 position okay sir >> so just say that everybody in here was 576 00:42:54,880 --> 00:43:03,119 for these projects who does it benefit how are these benefiting our community 577 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:07,760 how do your how does your company who secures these sites what is the end goal 578 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:12,880 of these storage facilities. Is it getting put back into our grid or is it 579 00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:16,720 being bought cheap and then wholesaliled later? 580 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:22,160 » So, I'll combine kind of what both of you were saying. Um, it really depends 581 00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:26,480 based on the company. Our company specifically, we only work with the 582 00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:32,240 landowner and the local electrical company. So, we don't work with other 583 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:37,359 solar wind data centers and stuff. And we're not an asset flipper either. So if 584 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:42,160 we have that project, it will always be owned by us. And one of the reasons a 585 00:43:40,319 --> 00:43:46,880 lot of people are very close to kind of the towns and everything, depending on 586 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:51,839 how many megawatts you have, you have to be a certain range within the local 587 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:56,000 substation or transmission lines that you're connecting to. So we connect to 588 00:43:54,079 --> 00:44:00,079 the distribution lines, which are the normal lines that you see on the road 589 00:43:57,839 --> 00:44:06,560 that are smaller than the transmission ones. Um, so for us, the limit that we 590 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:11,440 look at is 5 miles from the substation. For larger projects, it may be further 591 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:17,520 away or closer depending on what they need. Um, so one of our main goals is to 592 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:22,880 of course support the landowner cuz we would be paying them a yearly amount for 593 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:28,079 leasing that property. We're not really looking to own property just because 594 00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:33,680 that's an added expense and we'd rather support someone local. And then also one 595 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:38,400 of the reasons we do look at these types of projects is to release energy into 596 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:43,200 the grid. So a lot of times the substations that we choose maybe have 597 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:49,040 some upgrades that they need or some type of deficit of performance or they 598 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:54,000 have energy left over that you know you could connect into. So, for example, 599 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:58,400 when we do a contract with the electrical company, they'll usually come 600 00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:03,839 back with a list and it'll have all the upgrades that a substation needs because 601 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:09,520 maybe it hasn't been, you know, given its halflife refit of electronics and 602 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:14,480 all of that. So, we would pay for all of that. Technically, your substation would 603 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:20,160 be at a better performance level. And then us being there would give the 604 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:24,720 capacity to the substation to load and unload the energy as you were saying. 605 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:31,200 And then it does go back to there is a profit in it of course. So when we have 606 00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:37,599 the energy it is stored in times of need. It gets released and it's sold 607 00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:43,680 onto the grid essentially but just with the electrical company that we work for. 608 00:45:40,079 --> 00:45:49,520 So, it does differ with different companies, especially if they have 10 or 609 00:45:47,359 --> 00:45:53,760 100 [clears throat] batteries. This is a little more simpler because it's just 610 00:45:51,119 --> 00:46:00,359 one, so it's more straightforward. But I do understand, you know, your concerns 611 00:45:55,599 --> 00:46:00,359 with safety and everything as well. 612 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:10,960 » So, have you already paid the land down? Uh we typically start with an agreement 613 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:15,359 that's called a lease to option agreement. So we have paid them but we 614 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:20,560 haven't started the rental portion of it. We start the rental portion when we 615 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:25,119 actually start to make an improvement on the property. So for example, I didn't 616 00:46:23,359 --> 00:46:31,359 mention this before but it does take about 15 months from permitting to the 617 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:36,000 actual like oh it's done kind of situation. And so we are still in the 618 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:41,280 beginning stages. It's not happening tomorrow or anything. Um and then of 619 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:46,240 course hearing all of you taking that into account. We do want to respect our 620 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:54,240 neighbors especially because if we do jump into the rental agreement, we have 621 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:58,480 an option to do 10, 20, 30 or 40 years. So of course we want to be connected 622 00:46:56,079 --> 00:47:02,400 with the community, discuss it. We don't want to make our neighbors upset, which 623 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:08,079 I do see that there's a lot of opposition, of course. Um, but it's 624 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:11,599 mostly just having a connection. We want to follow the rules. We, you know, 625 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,640 aren't going to go against the will of the constituents or the county or the 626 00:47:13,599 --> 00:47:19,200 city. So, >> So, did you bring the date before 627 00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:23,119 commercial? Did you bother to bring that? 628 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:28,400 » We were given information from the owner and the title company as well. 629 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:33,280 Unfortunately, that falls into more of a prospection side. So, someone in our 630 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:38,560 company should have read it. I am just curious if anything. 631 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:43,599 » Uh, and how did you choose these particular locations? 632 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:49,200 » Uh, some of the things that we look at are the electrical capacity. We do 633 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:54,079 sometimes do the distance to housing which I think in the situation we didn't 634 00:47:51,839 --> 00:47:59,280 realize the deed that everyone has mentioned about residential and not 635 00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:04,720 doing the commercial. Uh we also look at water being away from like water 636 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:09,839 pipelines, gas pipelines. Uh we don't connect to water or sewer. So just 637 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:14,720 really looking for for that. >> So real quick, would you book one of 638 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:17,760 these on your property? Can we put a comics in your backyard? 639 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:22,319 » No. Okay, [laughter] let's let's wait. Okay. I I will tell 640 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,760 y'all that I really do appreciate her coming because it takes a lot to get up 641 00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:29,680 here and she knew she was going to have questions. All right. 642 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:32,640 » Uh if you don't mind, I have the commissioners have some questions. I 643 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:36,319 have one that has a question. >> And then if y'all don't mind, we'll 644 00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:40,160 we'll get to the item as soon as she gets done. If y'all are okay with that, 645 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:42,880 that way we can we can move on. Are y'all okay? 646 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:46,880 » Yeah, I'm fine. I just wanted to be transparent for one thing and for all my 647 00:48:45,359 --> 00:48:49,760 neighbors. I said I'm an engineer, so I know a 648 00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:53,280 little bit. I'm not trying to like toot my own horn, but I also need you to be 649 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:58,240 transparent with everybody. You're not putting power in the grid. You're you're 650 00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:02,240 storing excess power that's not being utilized at any given point. You're 651 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:05,520 going to store it in times of demand. You're going to put it back in the grid 652 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:09,280 to supplement and try to meet that demand. But I also need you to be 653 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:14,240 transparent with people because some people might be thinking that, hey, 654 00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:17,920 well, this might be good because what if we have another winter storm like we did 655 00:49:15,839 --> 00:49:21,440 a few years ago? They can they can keep up with the demand when the power goes 656 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:24,880 out. That's not how it happens. It's a battery storage. They're only good for a 657 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:30,319 few hours. They're not going to give you power for days. They're there to 658 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:35,200 supplement heat demands. That is it. So if you guys are thinking that their 659 00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:39,200 storage system is going to supplement when the brick goes out, you're 660 00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:42,800 mistaken. If if if the break goes down, we go on this battery and everybody is 661 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:48,480 putting demand, that thing's not even going to last enough. Probably not even 662 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:53,920 minutes.
