[6.B. PARKLAND DEDICATION]
WE'LL MOVE NOW TO ITEM B PARKLAND DEDICATION WILL CONSIDER A PARKLAND DEDICATION, BUT VICKSBURG SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL.AND ALSO PLEASE DO NOTE THAT THE PARKS BOARD HAS ALSO SUBMITTED THEIR RECOMMENDATION.
SO THIS IS A, UH, APPLICATION BY THE, UH, VICKSBURG SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL IN REGARDS TO THIS PARKLAND DEDICATION.
THIS IS LOCATED NORTH OF ORBAN TOLL WAY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY SIX, AND THEN WEST OF OAKWOOD, A LITTLE CLOSER WEST OF OAK LOOK FOR SUBDIVISION.
IS THAT BETTER? AND THEN EAST OF THE FIRESTONE AUTO CARE, UM, THE RECOMMENDED ACTION IS PLANNING AND ZONING SHOULD ADOPT THE FOLLOWING AS ITS FINAL REPORT AND FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE PARKS BOARD RECOMMENDATION.
FOLLOWING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ORDINANCE, SECTION 180 2 DASH 1 74.
UM, AND THAT RECOMMENDATION PROVIDES FOR PAYMENT OF 123,000 OF CASH IN LIEU OF A NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
AND THEN A PROVISION OF 0.8 ACRES OF THE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE PREP, PRIVATE PARKLAND WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT.
UM, SO THIS DEVELOPMENT IS 176, UH, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS.
UM, A PRELIMINARY PLAT WAS CONDITIONALLY APPROVED IN JULY AND JUST FULLY APPROVED, UM, WITH THE PREVIOUS CONSENT ITEMS, UM, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF, UH, PROPOSED DWELLING UNITS OF TOTAL REQUIREMENT OF 1.7, SIX ACRES WAS REQUIRED.
SO THE APPLICANT DECIDED TO DO HALF AS CASH IN LIEU OF AT 1400, A DWELLING UNIT THAT CAME OUT TO $123,200.
UM, THEY WERE ALSO REQUIRED TO DO HALF OF THE, UM, PROPOSAL AS PARKLAND.
AND THAT CAME OUT TO 0.8 ACRES 0.8, EIGHT ACRES, AND THE APPLICANT, UM, IS PROPOSING, UM, 0.9, TWO ACRES OF PRIVATE PARKLAND.
SO JUST A BIT ABOVE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, THIS WAS RE UM, THIS ITEM WAS CONSIDERED AT THE, ARE EXPLORED ON OCTOBER 7TH OF THE 2021 AGENDA.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER? I DO HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS KIND OF INTERESTING.
UM, FIRST COLONY HOA COMMITTED TO DONATING A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARDS THE HERITAGE COLONY TRAIL.
UM, I GUESS, WAS THAT JUST A REPORT OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ABLE TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS YOU HAVE TO DO THIS AS WELL.
UM, SO I THINK, UH, WHEN I WAS AT THE PARK BOARD MEETING, THEY HAD, UH, ONE OF THE, UM, BOARD MEMBERS HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT HE WAS, UM, IN COOPERATION WITH FIRST COLONY.
UM, ALMOST IN COOPERATION MAY BE A SIGN OF GOOD FAITH TO THAT EFFECT.
UM, THIS WAS NOT A REQUIREMENT AND IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCES.
SO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MASON, MR. GARCIA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT REPORT.
UM, COMMISSIONERS, WILL WE, EXCEPT THIS PARKLAND DEDICATION FOR VICKSBURG SINGLE FAMILY RENTALS BECAUSE THEIR EMOTIONS.
MS. LUCAS, WOULD YOU SECOND IT, DO YOU MIND? THANK YOU MS. LUCAS.
UM, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE AND I AS WELL.
ARE THERE ANY NAYS? THE MOTION CARRIES.
[7.A. TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT]
WE'LL MOVE NOW TO ITEM SEVEN, THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS ITEM A WILL BE A TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ON TONIGHT.WE'LL RECEIVE COMMENTS FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST BY MR.
[00:10:01]
ACRES OF LAND FROM OUR ONE SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL TO OUR FIVE TOWNHOUSE.DO YOU THINK JARON COMMISSIONERS? HELLO? SO WE RECEIVED A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT APPLICATION TO ZONE APPROXIMATELY 40 ACRES OF LAND FROM OUR ONE SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL TO OUR FIVE TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ZONING CHANGE.
I'M ACTUALLY AS PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED ON WATTS PLANTATION ROAD, NORTH OF THE MANNERS OF SILVER RIDGE SUBDIVISION SOUTH OF FORT BEND PARKWAY, EAST OF SIENNA PARKWAY AND WEST OF KNIGHTS ROAD.
THE RFID ZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 317 RESIDENTIAL LOTS CONSISTING OF BOTH ATTACHED AND DETACHED PARDON HOMES IN TOWNHOUSES.
THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD ALSO INCLUDE A CUP, A CLUBHOUSE IN POOL, A DOG PARK, AND ALSO A PICNIC AREA FOR ITS RESIDENTS.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE 2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SPECIFICALLY IN REGARDS TO ENCOURAGING MULTIPLE TYPES OF HOUSING TYPES IN FOUR PLANS TO OFFER A VARIETY OF HOUSING CHOICES, TO RESIDENTS COMBINATIONS OF HOUSING OPTIONS.
AND LOT SIZES WILL PROMOTE LIFE CYCLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND WILL BE USEFUL FOR ATTRACTING AND RETAINING BOTH YOUNGER FAMILIES AND OLDER RESIDENTS.
SO A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS COULD BE, UM, THE SURROUNDING AREA HAS A LOT OF ESTATE HOMES.
UM, MAYBE THERE'S AN OLDER RESIDENT, MAYBE SOMEHOW THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN A POSITION WHERE IT'S NO LONGER MANAGEABLE FOR THEM.
SO OFFERING A HOUSING VARIETY WILL ACTUALLY ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE TO LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY'VE GROWN TO APPRECIATE OVER THE YEARS, AS FAR AS REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS, THERE ARE NO PROPOSED CHANGES OUTSIDE OF THE BASE ZONING REQUIREMENTS.
THE APPLICANT WILL FOLLOW ALL REQUIREMENTS AS APPLICABLE IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN MANUAL.
SO THIS FINAL SLIDE SHOWS THE RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
THE APPLICANT IS HERE TODAY AND WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GIVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION.
AND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OR THE PROPOSAL CHANGE, I CAN ALSO RECEIVE THOSE NOW.
THAT'D BE FUN UNLESS YOU HAD A QUESTION.
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO, SO I DIDN'T SEE COMMENTS IN HERE.
LIKE THE LAST ONE WE DID WERE WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO FOLLOW OUR MANUAL FOR STREETS.
I MEAN, I ASSUME WE ARE, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT OR MANUAL, UH, RIGHT NOW I THINK IT'S JUST THAT THE ZONING PHASE, BUT ONCE WE GET TO THAT NEXT PHASE, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THEY FOLLOW OUR MANUAL TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S UP TO OUR STATE.
SEE, THEY GOT 24 TYPICAL AT LEAST.
NO, THEY'RE GOING TO BE FERMENT.
SO IT'LL BE ONE LOT CONSISTING OF VARIOUS TOWNHOUSES AND GARDEN HOMES, BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE FOR SALE SINCE YOU'RE GOING FROM ON, WHICH IS SINGLE-FAMILY CORRECT.
AS A NATION, UH, TO RFI THE TOWER TO MULTIFAMILY IN ESSENCE, UH, THAT HAS INCREASED IF IT WERE
SO THE CURRENT ZONING ALLOWS FOR, UM, ESTATE STYLE.
SO IT'S USUALLY A ONE ACRE LOTS.
UM, AND SO THIS SUBDIVISION OR THIS PROPOSED AREAS AROUND 40 ACRES.
SO IN RETROSPECT, I GUESS IT WOULD BE AROUND FORTIES, SINGLE FAMILY, LOTS WERE TAKE VERSUS WHAT VERSUS, WELL, THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE, IF WE JUST WENT TO THE RE TO THE RFI ZONING AND WOULD ALLOW FOR 317 RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
I THINK IT'S QUESTION THOUGH, IS IF IT HAD REMAINED R ONE, HOW MANY SINGLE FAMILY LOTS WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
AND SO YOU SAID IT'S ABOUT ONE ACRE PER LOT.
SO ABOUT 35 TO 36 HOUSES, MAYBE.
I WASN'T AS CLEAR AS I PERHAPS NEEDED A THANK YOU ON, UM, WHAT WE'LL.
SO THESE WOULD BE RENTALS OPPOSED TO PURCHASED TAKE.
THEY WERE GOING TO SINGLE FAMILY.
[00:15:01]
PURCHASED.UH, AND THESE ARE NOW RENTALS.
WHAT KIND OF BE, WHAT KIND OF RENTS ARE YOU LOOKING AT OR WHAT DO YOU THINK? UM, MY NAME IS FERRIS BRUNI.
I'M WITH OTTAWA ARCHITECTS, I'M AN ARCHITECT AND PLANNER.
UM, THE, I FORGET WHAT THIS WAS VAGUE.
WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE GARDEN HOMES TO BE FOR, OH, THAT, THAT WAS A DIFFERENT LIGHT ON LANDS ON IT, FOR SURE.
ONE IS FOR PURCHASE, UM, FOR THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S NOT RENTAL, IF IT WOULDN'T BE A RENTAL DEVELOPMENT.
YOU'RE AWARE THAT THE, THIS WILL BE PRIVATE, PRIVATE LAND.
I MEAN, PRIVATE STREETS, RIGHT? YEAH.
I MEAN, SO THE IDEA IS IT WOULD BE A GATED COMMUNITY.
UM, AND YOU HAVE THE, SO RIGHT NOW PRELIMINARILY, WE'RE SAYING LIKE 300 UNITS, BUT AGAIN, WHEN WE DO THE SURVEYS, WE'RE GONNA, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO TAKE AWAY DETENTION.
WE HAVE TO DO SOME PARKLAND DEDICATION.
SO THAT'S GOING TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF LAND.
AND SO WHEN WE GET INTO THE FINAL, LIKE WE DO THE PLANNING AND GO THROUGH ALL THE STAGES, WE'RE GOING TO KNOW THE EXACT AMOUNT.
SO RIGHT NOW, JUST AS A HIGHER LEVEL, THAT'S THE NUMBER THAT WE'RE GIVING.
WE'RE JUST REZONING THE LAND ON TONIGHT OR CONSIDERING TO REZONE THE LAND.
ANYBODY ELSE HAD ANY QUESTIONS OF HOW MANY TOWNHOMES, HOW MANY AGAIN, OUTSIDE PLAYING DEPICTS THREE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN, THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN THAT YOU SAY RESIDENTIAL LOT.
CAN YOU GET CLOSER TO THE MILEY? I'M SORRY.
I HAVE JUST REALLY ONE MORE QUESTION I WANT TO MAKE SURE IS, IS SO WRITTEN THAT THE TOWNHOMES, IF THE ZONING CHANGES ACCEPTED BY THIS BODY HERE, UM, THAT THEY'RE FOR PURCHASE AND NOT FOR LEASE THAT'S IN WRITING AND IN THE PROMOS PRESENTATIONS THAT YOU PLAN YOU PLAN TO DO ONLY CONCERNED BECAUSE YOU'RE OPENING SALVO WAS THAT THEY WERE PRINT REYNOLDS.
DID NOT INDICATE THAT THESE WOULD BE RENTALS.
THE NEXT PROJECT THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT WILL BE, BUT FOR THESE, I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT SAID THESE WOULD BE FOR RENTAL AND I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT HAS CONFIRMED THAT THESE WILL BE FOR SALE.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WHAT'S IN WRITING.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF MS. STORY? UM, OKAY, GREAT.
WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME.
WOULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME ONE MORE TIME? YES, ABSOLUTELY.
THERE'S A GENERATION NOW THAT DOESN'T KNOW WHO THAT IS AND IT TERRIFIES ME AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS.
THEY'RE SETTING UP YOUR PRESENTATION.
THEY DID A MORE ELOQUENT JOB THAN I COULD EVER DO AND EXPLAINING THE DEVELOPMENT, BUT I CAN REITERATE ONCE WE, WHEN I SEE IT,
[00:20:26]
WE GET THE PRESENTATION SET UP.I WANTED TO ASK LEGAL A QUESTION REALLY QUICKLY.
WE DON'T HAVE A PLACE MARKER HERE FOR PUBLIC HEARING IN REGARDS TO THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.
UM, SO, UM, I THINK WE MAY HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH, FROM THE AUDIENCE.
SO WE MAY CONSIDER THE ONE, THE ONE COMMENT AFTER THE PRESENTATION IS OPEN.
JUST THE ONE, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU.
SO AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US HERE THIS EVENING.
UM, SO JUST TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHERE THE SITE IS LOCATED, WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED THE SITE HERE.
IT IS APPROXIMATELY 40 ACRES GROSS.
IT IS RIGHT BEHIND THE INTERSECTION OF WHERE THE FORT BEN TOWN CENTER, TWO, THREE AND ONE PRO, OR WHY SHOULD JUST DO IT IN NUMERICAL ORDER? ONE, TWO AND THREE PROJECTS ARE, UM, IT IS ON FORT BEND TOLLWAY AND, UM, KIND OF BEHIND KNIGHTS COURT AND WATTS PLANTATION.
AND SO AGAIN, IT DOES, LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, IT DOES HAVE DRAINAGE EASEMENTS THAT RUN THROUGH IT.
AND WE ARE, WE ARE STILL DOING THE SURVEY AND LOOKING IN TERMS OF WHAT WE WILL HAVE TO DO IN TERMS OF DETENTION ON SITE.
BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE SERVERY ON THE SITE, AND THEN WE DID HEAR, UM, AN OVERLAY.
SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WITH THE SATELLITE VIEW.
AND AGAIN, THE PROPOSAL IS TO DO DETACHED AND ATTACHED GARDEN HOMES.
UM, AND HERE YOU HAVE A SITE PLAN.
WE DO HAVE FOR OUR ACCESS POINTS INTO THE, TO THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND THE IDEA IS IT WOULD HAVE ITS OWN COMMUNITY, UM, LIKE A CLUBHOUSE.
IT WOULD HAVE ITS OWN POOL, A DOG PARK.
AND THEN OF COURSE, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT OF DETENTION EASEMENTS, WE'RE ABLE TO UTILIZE A LOT OF THAT AREA FOR, UM, DETENTION AND ALSO FOR GREEN SPACE, WHICH IS VERY NICE.
AND THEN THE IDEA IS TO HAVE A KIND OF A MEDITERRANEAN SPANISH STYLE.
AND SO THIS IS JUST THE DESIGN INTENT HERE.
YOU HAVE A RENDERING OF THE, OF THE PLANS AND HERE WAS, UH, AN ELEVATION THAT YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT IS CONCLUDES.
OUR PRESENTATION MAY HAVE ELEVATORS.
YOU KNOW, I THINK A LOT OF TIMES THEY WILL MAKE THEM WHERE THEY CAN PUT AN ELEVATOR, BUT THEY DON'T DO IT STANDARD.
THOSE ARE HOW MANY STORIES, THREE STORIES, THREE STORIES.
I WOULD SUGGEST ELEVATORS NEAR SUBDIVISION.
SO IF YOU LOOK, THE NEAREST SUBDIVISION IS, UH, IMMEDIATELY BEHIND US ORIGINAL.
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD EVER GAIN ACCESS OFF OF THE TOLL ROAD INTO THE PROJECT? UM, THESE ARE A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE.
SO, AND EVEN IN WORKING WITH THE CITY PRELIMINARY, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
SO EVEN WE'RE UNDERSTANDING AND LIKE IN ANOTHER OR TWO UTILITIES ARE GOING TO BE COMING IN.
SO WE ARE VERY COLLABORATIVE AND WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WHOLE AREA AND THEN WE WANT TO ALL WORK TOGETHER.
SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW, OR AT THIS POINT, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE VERY INTERESTING FOR THE HOLD, ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THAT AREA.
AND THAT'S INTERESTING THAT YOU SAY THAT ABOUT THE UTILITIES, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BRING THEM FARM.
YOU'RE GOING TO BRING THEM WELL, ALTHOUGH A LOT OF STUFF IS, IS PLANNED FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
SO IT'S JUST UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S BEING PLANNED AND TRYING TO BE PART OF THAT VISION, I THINK.
AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION, AND IF SOMEBODY ELSE HAS A QUESTION, PLEASE JUMP IN.
THAT ROAD IS LITERALLY JUST TWO LANES, RIGHT? SO THIS IS KIND OF HIGH DENSITY FOR TWO LANES.
HAD YOU HAD CONVERSATIONS IN REGARDS TO WIDING WIDENING THE ROAD BY CHANCE? YEAH.
I THINK WE COULD WORK POTENTIALLY WITH THE CITY ON THAT.
UM, WE'VE DONE A PRELIMINARY, JUST TRAFFICKED LOOK AT IT.
THE NICE THING ABOUT IT BEING, UM, RESIDENTIAL IS WE DON'T HAVE LIKE A BIG CLUNK OF PEOPLE HITTING THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME, BUT
[00:25:01]
IT'S DEFINITELY IN OUR INTEREST ALSO TO WIDEN THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S GOING TO BE GOING AROUND IN THE AREA.SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD BE INVESTIGATING.
SO WHAT INSPIRED ME TO DO THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF SUBDIVISION? UM, THREE STORIES, GARDEN HOMES ARE, DO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN IT.
WHERE ELSE IN HOUSTON, LIKE PERSONALLY, I HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY MEMBERS WHO LIVE IN THAT KIND OF A, YEAH.
IT, AND I THINK STORY BROUGHT UP THE IDEA IS IT DOES ADD A DIFFERENT TYPE OF STOCK, UH, IN TERMS OF THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT YOU HAVE AVAILABLE IN SIENNA.
UM, AND IN THAT AREA SPECIFICALLY, I THINK IT IS VERY ATTRACTIVE TO CERTAIN PEOPLE.
IT'S NOT NECESSARILY LIKE A CONDO LOCK AND LEAVE, BUT IT DOES FEEL MORE SECURE IN CERTAIN AREAS BECAUSE YOU HAVE CLOSER NEIGHBORS, YOU HAVE, I MEAN IT, AND IT SOUNDS SILLY, BUT I LIKE MY SISTER LIVES IN A HOUSE LIKE THAT.
AND AT FIRST I WAS LIKE, WHO WANTS TO WALK UP THREE FLIGHTS? SHE LOVES IT.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, IT REALLY DEPENDS ON PEOPLE IN THE DIFFERENT STAGES THAT THEY ARE.
FOR SOME PEOPLE IT'S LOW MAINTENANCE, IT'S LESS MAINTENANCE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE AS BIG A YARD, BUT YOU STILL DO HAVE A YARD, WHICH SOME APARTMENTS DON'T OFFER THAT.
SO, I MEAN, IN TERMS OF, AS A PLANNER THAT HAVING THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL STOCK IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR A COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY CAN THEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM AT THAT MOMENT IN THEIR LIFE.
I HAVE A QUESTION I GUESS IS MORE SO FOR STAFF, UM, SILVER RIDGE.
SO ONE STORY, THOSE ARE THERE, THE HOMES THERE, CAN ANYBODY TELL ME ONE AND TWO STORY? OKAY.
SO HAVE YOU REACHED OUT TO THEM HOW THEY WOULD FEEL PRETTY MUCH HAVING A THREE-STORY NEAR THE, IN FRONT OF THEM THERE FOR NOW? SO THEY, THEY DID RECEIVE NOTICE AS PART OF THIS PROCESS.
THEY DID RECEIVE NOTICE AS PART OF THIS PROCESS.
UM, AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED THAT KIND OF FEEDBACK FROM THEM.
AT WHAT POINT COULD THEY OFFER, UH, AT WHAT POINT THAT'S IT, WHERE AT WHAT POINT THEY CAN NOT OFFER FEET.
I DON'T KNOW, FEEDBACK, COMMENTS WRITTEN, UM, CAN BE PROVIDED UP UNTIL, UH, COUNCIL TAKES FINAL ACTION.
SO THEY, THEY CAN BE, UH, RECEIVED BY THE CITY.
WHAT WAS THE NOTICE? WAS IT FROM THE CITY OR WAS IT FROM, I MEAN, IT WAS FROM THE CITY, RIGHT? THERE'S A COPY IN YOUR, IN YOUR PACKET.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT BACK ABOUT THE ROADS, THE ROADS, UH, SEE IF IT'S AT ALL POSSIBLE TO WIDEN IT AND STILL AT THE SAME TIME, BE ABLE TO, IF WE GRANT THIS RFI ETIQUETTE COINCIDE WITH THE TIME THAT YOU HAVE TO REALLY BUILD THE DEVELOPMENT, THE PROJECT THEY'RE TOWNHOMES DIRECT, YOU'RE SAYING GARDEN HOMES, BUT THEY ARE, IT'S A MIXTURE OF ATTACH AND DETACH.
SO THE DETACH WOULD BE MAYBE THE DISTINCTION WHERE IT'S REALLY NOT A DIFFERENCE FROM A REAL STATE.
I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT OKAY.
UH, THAT THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONLY, SO COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN, THIS IS JEREMY.
UH, SO A PART OF THE PLANNING PROCESS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROVIDE A TIA, A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, AND IN THE TIA, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT MIGHT BE WARRANTED.
ONE OF THOSE COULD BE WIDENING THE ROAD IN SOME PLACES.
SO AT THAT POINT, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WORKING WITH THE ENGINEERING STAFF, TO SEE WHAT IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE MADE, TO WATCH A WATCH ROAD, BUT ENOUGH MADAM CHAIR, IF I CAN ADD ON THAT SHASHI KUMAR, BRET REPUBLIC WORKS IN CITY ENGINEER COUNTY, FORT BEND COUNTY HAS A MOBILITY PROJECT TO RESURFACE AND KIND OF WIDEN WHAT'S PLANTATION.
WHY DON'T WE, IT'S NOT ADD LANES BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH RIGHT AWAY, BUT TO ADD SIX FOOT SHOULDERS, THEY'RE LOOKING AT ADDING SOME SHOULDERS.
SO THAT IS A PROJECT AS PART OF IT, WE'LL SEE IF THAT IS ANY ADEQUATE RIGHT OF WAY TO ADD SOME TURN LANES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT IT IS IN THE DESIGN PHASE, THERE IS A PROJECT TO RESURFACE AND ADD SOME SHOULDERS ON WHAT'S PLANTATION ALONG THIS STRETCH.
AND I WANT TO REEMPHASIZE, AS JEREMY
[00:30:01]
SAYS, ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES IN, WE'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT THE ESTIMATED TRAFFIC IS AND WHAT THEY'RE SHOWING IS JUST A CONCEPT.AND, UH, UH, WHEN IT GETS TO ENGINEERING, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS CAPACITY FOR THE ROADWAY TO SERVE THIS DEVELOPMENT BASED ON THE PROJECTED TRAFFIC VOLUMES.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE STAFF YOU HAVE HERE THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT DEVIATES FROM THE FUTURE LAND USE AND CHARACTER MAP OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT, HOW IS IT DEVIATING AND WHY YOU CAN MAKE THE DECISION TO DEVIATE IT FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? YES.
I CAN TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
SO THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN RIGHT NOW DESCRIBES THE AREA AS AN ESTATE CHARACTER, WHICH BASICALLY MEANS, UM, IT WOULD FOLLOW THE
AND AT THE TIME OF, UM, WHEN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND FUTURE LAND USE PLAN WERE DRAWN UP, IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE, UM, I GUESS JUST AS FOR LACK OF BETTER WORD, THE LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE AT THE TIME, BUT GIVEN THE INCREASE OF DEVELOPMENT TO THE AREAS SUCH AS THE FORT BEND TOWN CENTER, AMAZON AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT IS NO LONGER REALLY A CONCERN.
SO WHEN WE WERE TAKING A LOOK AT THIS PROPOSED CHANGE, IT DID ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE TO BRING IN THIS, UM, A LITTLE BIT HIGHER DENSITY TO THE AREA, JUST BECAUSE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA AND THAT IT CAN ALSO, UM, ALSO THE, IS THERE NOW IT'S FEASIBLE.
AND ALSO I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT GIVEN BECAUSE OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA, KEEPING IT AS AN ESTATE CHARACTER, UM, MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE THE BEST USE ANY LONGER.
IN THE PAST, WHEN A PIECE OF PROPERTY WAS ON THE OUTSKIRTS OR, UM, UNDEVELOPED, DID IT ARBITRARILY GO TO THAT DESIGNATION BY THE CITY? IF IT WASN'T IN A ZONING CHARACTER, IT GOES TO THAT AUTOMATICALLY DOES THAT, RIGHT? I THINK IT ACTUALLY GOES TO SUBURBAN DISTRICT IF I'M CORRECT AND WENT TO SUBURBAN DISTRICT OR SUBURBAN CHARACTER, UM, S D ANCHORAGE LOTS.
IS THERE ANY TIME WHERE IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES TO ACREAGE LOTS BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WHEN LAND IS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY, IT GETS CLASSIFIED AS THE BOURBON DISTRICT, UM, WHICH IS MORE LIKE THE AGRICULTURAL, UH, DISTRICT UNTIL AN APPROPRIATE ZONING DESIGNATION CAN BE DETERMINED.
ALRIGHTY, THANK YOU SO MUCH STORY.
WE DO HAVE A CITIZENS PARTICIPATION, OUR REQUESTS, UH, PAULA JONES.
UM, LET ME SEE IF I COULD GET MAYBE A STAFF MEMBER TO BRING YOU A MICROPHONE.
I LIVE AT 3,606 WATTS PLANTATION.
WE'VE LIVED THERE FOR 37 YEARS AND WE HAVE A SEVERE DRAINAGE PROBLEM IN THAT AREA.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE OF IT, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THAT PROPERTY, THAT'S JUST IN QUESTION.
THERE IS WETLANDS AND NATURAL DRAINAGE.
AND WHEN I MOVED THERE, I WAS TOLD I COULDN'T BUILD ENOUGH FIELD IN THAT POOL OF ENGINEERS AND THE COUNTY.
SO NOW HOW ARE WE GOING TO CONTROL THIS MUCH RUNOFF OF WATER OR PROJECT THIS B.
AND IT FLOWS RIGHT BEHIND MY HOUSE.
THEN WHEN WE HAD HARVEY, WATER CAME WITHIN 10 FEET OF MY HOUSE, BUT WE HAD ALL THAT AREA THERE THAT IT NATURALLY PERCOLATES INTO.
ONCE YOU COVER IT UP WITH CONCRETE, YOU TAKE THAT AWAY.
SO YOU HAVE FACED SOME MORE INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT ABOUT THAT WHOLE AREA PROPERTY.
YOU CAN'T SEE THE DRAINAGE BECAUSE IT'S ALL GROWED UP IN THE BACK.
BUT WHEN WE HAVE A BIG RAIN, WE HAVE ABOUT A THIRD OF MY PROPERTY IS FILLED WITH WATER AND IT GETS IT'S A LOT.
I'VE TALKED TO ONE ENGINEER THAT WAS DOING SOME WORK FOR THE CITY.
AND HE SAID AT THAT DRAINAGE WAY, THEY'RE NOT, IT'S NOT LEGALLY A DRAINAGE WAY.
IT DRAINS ABOUT 750 ACRES UPSTREAM.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THAT, BUT WE COULD, IT COULD DEFINITELY IMPACT A LOT OF PEOPLE.
OUR OTHER CONCERN WAS WATTS PLANTATION ROAD, AND YOU'VE SPOKEN, UH, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMMENTS THAT, BUT, UH, THAT ROAD
[00:35:01]
NOW, UH, THERE IS, IT'S VERY BUSY.WE HAD HOPE THAT PUTTING IN THE TOLL WAY WOULD HELP, UH, HAS IT REALLY, THEY JUST TAKE THE SHORTCUT.
SO, UH, THERE'S BEEN A GOOD DEAL OF CONVERSATION ON THAT AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE, UH, LOOKING AT THAT, UH, TWO LANE ROAD IS NOT GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR ANOTHER 318 HOMES.
THANK YOU, MR. JAYMA FOR FAST AND THAT MICROPHONE OVER.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE, UH, AGING MONTH THAT WANTED TO SPEAK IN THE SCHOOL? IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING.
ACTUALLY, THIS WAS A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS FOR ORGANS.
UM, IS THERE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS? I GUESS THIS IS WRITTEN A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS TIME YOU SEE THE FIRST, UH, THE FIRST SENTENCE WHERE IT SAYS TO RECEIVE COMMENTS OR, OR AGAINST.
IS THERE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? THANK YOU, MR. BRIGHTWELL FOR THE MOTION.
THANK YOU FOR THE SECOND, MR. GRIFFIN, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AND I AS WELL.
ARE THERE ANY NAYS? OKAY, GREAT.
IT IS NOW CLOSED AT THIS TIME.
ARE WE CONSIDERING A FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON ITEM SEVEN EIGHT? IF SO, WHAT SO MOVES YOU AND IS THERE A MOTION TO NOT ADDRESS? HOPEFULLY THERE ARE MANY HAM.
REMEMBER WE'RE ONLY VOTING TO REZONE THIS ON TONIGHT.
BUT, BUT TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, ALL OF THE DRAINAGE AND STREET WIDENING WILL COME OUT, UM, AFTER THE REZONING ON TONIGHT, ALL WE'RE CONSIDERING IS JUST TO REZONE THE LAND FROM OUR ONE TO OUR FIVE.
SHOULD WE MOVE? UM, SHOULD THE REZONING OCCUR, THEN THE APPLICANT WOULD COME BACK BEFORE US WITH MORE PRELIMINARY PLANTS AND THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH TRAFFIC AND DRAINAGE A LITTLE BIT BETTER, CERTAINLY OF TRAFFIC AND DRAINAGE DOES NOT FIT INTO THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT.
THEN OBVIOUSLY THE PROJECT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD.
COMMISSIONER LEWIS, THIS IS JEREMY, AND, UH, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO REQUIRE THEM TO SUBMIT A DRAINAGE IMPACT ANALYSIS AS WELL.
AND THAT'S GOING TO TELL US IF WHAT THEY'RE PRESENTING IS GOING TO WORK, RIGHT.
LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THIS, WITH A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION.
MR. BRIGHTWELL, WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO FORWARD IT TO CITY COUNCIL WITH A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION.
IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE, LET ME SEE THE EYES ONE MORE TIME.
AND THE NOSE ONE, NO, AND TWO NOSE TO NOSE.
THAT MOTION DOES CARRY WE'LL MOVE
[7.B. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT]
NOW TO ITEM B.SO ALSO BE, UH, UH, AUGUST WILL BE A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND WE WILL RECEIVE COMMENTS FOR, OR AGAINST A REQUESTS BY, UM, ANDREA MYTHS OF LOVETT COMMERCIAL TO ZONE, APPROXIMATELY 50 ACRES OF LAND TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE THE, UM, PRESENTATION FROM STAFF.
WE'LL PROBABLY HEAR FROM MS. SMITH'S AS WELL, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE IN TO START RECEIVING COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC.
WELL, HELLO AGAIN, THAT WE RECEIVED AN APPLICATION FROM LOVETT COMMERCIAL TWO ZONE, APPROXIMATELY 50 ACRES OF LAND ALONG HIGHWAY SIX FROM LLC TO, TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT.
AND THIS PLANE DEVELOPMENT WOULD ALLOW FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL USES RESTAURANTS AND CAFES, ARTISTS, STUDIOS, INDOOR, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, ANY STORAGE IN MID DENSITY.
RESIDENTIAL USES STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE APPREHENSION USES.
THE SUBJECT SITE INCLUDES MULTIPLE TRACKS OF LAND LOCATED NORTH AND SOUTH
[00:40:01]
OF STATE HIGHWAY SIX EAST AND WEST OF WATTS PLANTATION DRIVE AND EAST OF NORTH CREEK MONT DRIVE LOVE IT.COMMERCIAL ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION AND CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR.
AND PUBLIC HEARINGS WERE HELD IN APRIL FOR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
AND IN MAY, IN JUNE FOR CITY COUNCIL LOVER, COMMERCIAL HAS SINCE HELD MEETINGS WITH THE RESIDENTS OF THE CREEK MONKS CREEK MOUNTAIN SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS ADJACENT TO THIS PROPOSED PD.
THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED THE SURVIVOR APPLICATION AND CONCEPT PLAN AND RESPONSE TO CONCERNS AND ISSUES RAISED AND TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTIES.
THE REVISED CONCEPT PLAN INCLUDES A MULTITUDE OF USES, WHICH CAN GENERALLY BE IDENTIFIED AS EL C3, LOCAL RETAIL, DISTRICT STORAGE, AND MID DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
THE PROPOSED USE FOR THE 13.6 ACRE CHALK LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY SIX AND WATTS PLANTATION ROAD IS A MID DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD CONSIST OF SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL UNITS.
THE TRACK WOULD FOLLOW THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE
THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR A MAXIMUM OF 15 DWELLING UNITS PER POTTED ACRE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR APPROXIMATELY 202 UNITS.
HOWEVER, THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED SHOWS ONLY AROUND 160 UNITS, WHICH MEANS THE DEVELOPMENT IS ACTUALLY CUTTING THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY BY ALMOST 50%.
THE, AND THAT'S A RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY RENTALS.
THE PROPOSED USE FOR THE NINE ACRE TRACT OF LAND SITUATED SOUTH OF HIGHWAY SIX, AND BETWEEN WATTS PLANTATION DRIVE AND SOUTH CREEK LAWN DRIVE IS A MIX OF OFFICE AND RETAIL SPACES, AS WELL AS A RESTAURANT OR A CAFE.
THE PROPOSED USES FOR THE EIGHT AND A HALF TRACT OF LAND LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE NORTH CREEK.
MONT DRIVE INCLUDE A MEDICAL CARE FACILITY, A FLEX SPACE, AND A MINI STORAGE TO SERVE THE NEARBY RESIDENTS.
THE PROPOSED USE IS FOR THE 94 TRACT OF LAND LOCATED NORTH OF HIGHWAY SIX, BETWEEN WATTS PLANTATION DRIVE IN NORTH CREEK LAWN DRIVE INCLUDE OFFICE AND RETAIL SPACES, I RESTAURANT OR CAFE AS WELL AS AN INDOOR RECREATIONAL FACILITIES.
AND I'LL BRING THE SITE PLAN UP SO WE CAN SEE IT AS A REFERENCE.
AND FINALLY, THE PROPOSED USES FOR THE 8.7 ACRE TRACT OF LAND LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF WALT'S PLANTATION WILL INCLUDE A GROCERY STORE, DENTAL CARE FACILITY, OFFICE CONDOS, ARTIST STUDIOS, INDOOR RECREATIONAL FACILITY, AND RESTAURANT OR CAFES.
AND I ALSO WANT TO CLARIFY THAT AT THIS APPLICATION TO ZONE IS FORWARDED A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION BY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND IS ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL.
THEY USES DESCRIBED IN THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT WILL FOLLOW THE LAYOUT OF THE SITE PLAN AND IT WILL NOT BE RELOCATED RELOCATED ELSEWHERE.
SO THE USE OF SEEN ON THE SITE PLAN IS WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO EXIST FOR THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.
THE PROPOSED PD IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE MULTIPLE GOALS OF THE 2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, INCLUDING PROVIDING A VERY DEVELOPMENT TO MOVE BEYOND A BEDROOM COMMUNITY PERCEPTION OF MISSOURI STUDY.
I'M ALSO RECRUITING VARIOUS LIFESTYLE AMENITIES, SO THEY CAN BE ENJOYED LOCALLY, AS WELL AS ENCOURAGING THE MULTIPLE HOUSING TYPES AND FLOOR PLANS TO OFFER A VARIETY OF HOUSING CHOICES TO RESIDENTS.
THE LONGEVITY OF A NEIGHBORHOOD, ESPECIALLY IN SUBURBAN AREAS, REALLY RELIES ON THE PROXIMITY OF BOTH HOUSING AND AN AMENDED USE THAT BENEFITS A VARIETY OF RESIDENTS IN REGARDS TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THOSE PLAN DEVELOPMENT, ANY CULTURAL RECREATIONAL, OR SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONAL PLACE OF ASSEMBLIES SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO LOCATE A MEDIUM OR FALL MONUMENT SIGN, UTILIZING A DESIGN, SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE HERE AS THE ART SIGN LOCATED IN THE STORE YARDS DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN WALL SIGNAGE FOR THESE USERS SHOULD BE PERMITTED AS DEPICTED FOR THE ROOFTOP CINEMA CLUB AND THE SILOS.
ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, INGRESS AND EGRESS UTILITIES AND SIDEWALKS WILL FOLLOW THE REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE MISSOURI CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN MANUAL.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.
AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE RIGHT ON INTO STARTING TO RECEIVE THE COMMENTS.
I DO HAVE THREE PERSONS HERE WHO HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
[00:45:01]
TO ASK HER TO LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES TO THREE MINUTES.UM, MR. BRIGHT WILL SITTING HERE NEXT TO ME TO MY RIGHT, AS YOU GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO YOUR THREE MINUTES, HE'LL SIGNIFY YOU BY WAVING HIS HAND.
ALRIGHTY, WE'RE GOING TO GET STARTED MS. MARY ROSS EVENING.
I AM HERE TO SPEAK PROTEST THIS, UH, DEVELOPMENT.
UH, THE POINTS THAT I NEED TO MAKE IN PROTEST IS NUMBER ONE, APART, EVEN IN A, THIS IS EVEN IN A, UM, EVEN IN A LEASE RENTAL DEVELOPMENT, A PARK IS REQUIRED.
AND IN THIS CONCEPTUAL PLAN, THERE IS NO PARK IN THE CENTER OF WHERE THE, UH, THE, THE, THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS PROPOSED RESIDENCE.
RESIDENTIAL UNITS ARE, THERE IS A BLUES SQUARE, NO SIZES ANYWHERE, BUT IT IS CALLED A DETENTION LAKE SLASH CITY PARK.
AND ACCORDING TO MISSOURI CITY, THEY, THE, A LAKE AND A PARK CAN NOT BE THE SAME.
UM, IF THESE ARE FIVE RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAN 12, 10 DWELLING UNITS PER PLANTED ACRE FOR APPROXIMATELY 9.6 ACRES EQUALS A MAXIMUM DENSITY OF MANNY 6.8 DWELLING UNITS, SECTION A AT 119 DWELLING UNITS EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM DWELLING UNITS FOR OUR FIVE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.
UH, THEY SUBMITTED 119 DWELLING UNITS IN THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS.
RESIDENTS WERE NOT GIVEN ANY MEASUREMENTS, BUT WE SHOULD DETERMINE IF THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN MEETS MISSOURI CITY CRITERIA.
AND THE TRACKS ON THE SITE, LEGAL DESCRIPTION MAP WERE NOT IDENTIFIED BY THE TRACK DESCRIPTIONS IN THE SITE, LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS ON THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR THE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WAS SENT TO US.
IT ISN'T AN UNFAIR THING TO DO TO RESIDENTS OF THE CITY, MISSOURI OF MISSOURI CITY, TO SEND US A MAP THAT DOES NOT EVEN IDENTIFY THE TRACKS FOR US TO REVIEW.
THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS WHY I REQUEST THAT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION NOT APPROVE THIS REQUEST BY ANDREA, MISS LOVETT, COMMERCIAL ZONING OF THESE APPROXIMATELY 50 ACRES OF LAND.
UH, THERE ARE SEVERAL, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER REASONS I JUST EXPECTED TO BE OUT OF TIME BY NOW, BUT I'D LIKE TO SAY ONE MORE.
I'D LIKE TO GIVE ONE MORE REASONS.
AND THAT'S THERE IS THAT ON THIS CONCEPTUAL PLAN, THERE'S MORE RESIDENTIAL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HIGHWAY 64 CONDOS.
THOSE ARE NOT IDENTIFIED IN ANY WAY IN TERMS OF UNITS IN TERMS OF SIZE, UM, 15 SECONDS, OKAY, NON-RESIDENTIAL ZONING.
THIS, THIS IS CURRENTLY NON-RESIDENTIAL ZONING FOR LC TWO.
THERE IS A PLAN THAT'S BEEN APPROVED JUST WEST OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.
THAT'S GOING TO BRING 500 APARTMENTS TO THIS SIDE OF THE FORT BEND COUNTY TOLL ROAD, SOUTH OF HIGHWAY SIX.
EVEN WITH AMAZON, THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE THIS FROM AN LLC TO ZONING WITH NO RESIDENTIAL, TO RESIDENTIAL OF ANY TYPE.
THERE'S GOING TO BE PLENTY OF RESIDENTIAL.
AND THERE ARE PLENTY HOMES RIGHT NOW THAT ALREADY THAT ALREADY TO BE SOLD OR PURCHASED, AND THEY ARE BEING PURCHASED VERY QUICKLY.
THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE AN LLC TO NON-RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION, TO A DESIGNATION THAT ALLOWS RESIDENTIAL, ESPECIALLY THIS LITTLE TINY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MS. ROSS, I BELIEVE SO.
[00:50:01]
MS. UH, ROSS'S ADDRESS INTO THE MINUTES.AND MS. MARSHALL, IF YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AS WELL.
GOOD EVENING, RENA MARSHALL, FORTY-FIVE 10 SOUTH CREEK MUD, FRESNO, TEXAS 7 5 4 5.
UM, THANK YOU GUYS FOR SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.
I WANT TO SAY THAT FIRST, UM, AND ON THE BOARD ABOUT HOA CREEK BOUGHT VICE-PRESIDENT AND, UH, HAVE BEEN KEEPING CLOSE WATCH OVER THIS AREA.
UM, WE WERE ASKING EMILY, WE'VE BEEN GETTING FEEDBACK THAT THE RESIDENTS ALL ALONG THAT AREA, EVEN FURTHER DOWN FROM US AND TO THE WEST OF US ARE NOT WANTING TO THIS RESULTANT.
THERE IS ALREADY APARTMENTS AS TO NOT BE REDUNDANT, MS. ROSS COVERED A GREAT BIT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST TO CONSIDER THE LOSS OF LIVES AND ACCIDENTS THAT STILL OCCURRING.
WE STILL, BEFORE THE BUSINESSES GOT INTO PLAY, WE WERE ALREADY HAVING ISSUES WITH TRAFFIC AND ACCIDENTS AND LOSS OF LIVES.
THERE'S NOTHING IN THEIR PLAN TO EVEN INTRODUCE A SIGNAL LIGHT, MAYBE AT THE TOP OF THE BRIDGE, JUST A LITTLE SICKNESS AND HEY, THAT'S A BREAK.
THERE'S NOTHING IN WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR THAT TO SEE THE FORT BEND COUNTY LOVE IT.
THERE'S UM, THERE'S NO LIGHTING.
THERE IS REALLY, REALLY DARK IS NO LIGHTING THERE FOR THE AREA.
UM, THEY'RE PROPOSING A GROCERY STORE THERE'S OH, THERE'S ALREADY FIVE WITHIN ABOUT TWO MILES REALLY CLOSE.
UM, BUT I REALLY WANT IT TO HIGHLIGHT THE SAFETY ISSUE.
UH, THE TRAFFIC COMING, WE ALREADY, HOW, UM, LIKE WHERE THE AREA WHERE THE BURLINGTON AND THE, THE ADA AND ALL THAT'S GOING TO BE.
SO THEY ALREADY ARE BRINGING IN ADDITIONAL BUSINESSES ALONG OUR AREA, BUT THERE'S NOTHING FOR SAFETY.
AS FAR AS PEOPLE PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE STREET, BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PATRONIZE, THEY WILL PATRONIZE, BUT THERE'S NOTHING SAFETY AS FAR AS SAFETY GOES TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS OR ANYBODY AT CROSS THOSE STREETS.
BECAUSE IF THERE'S A MOVIE DAY TO JUST, YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE WILL BE CROSSING THE STREET.
UM, SO WITH THAT GOES AWAY FROM MY BEDROOM PLAN.
AND TO BE FAIR, I WANTED TO LOOK AT, UH, THE CHANGE IN THE REP TO RESIDENTIAL AND HOW THAT AFFECTS OUR PROPERTY VALUE.
SO I WANT IT TO BE FAIR TO THEM.
SO I COULD SHARE WITH OUR RESIDENTS, IT DOESN'T DECREASE YOUR PROPERTY VALUE.
THERE ARE PROS AND CONS THERE'S WAYS THAT IS SHOWN EITHER WAY, BUT THERE WAS MUCH MORE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT BRINGING IN A RENTAL PROPERTIES THAT CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL AREA DOES DECREASE THE PROPERTY VALUE.
IT INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT GOES IN WHAT APARTMENTS WITH, EVEN WITH THE SINGLE FAMILY.
UM, IT'S OH, THERE ARE SEVERAL RESEARCH SHOWED THAT THERE WAS 31% MORE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC FOR SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL PROPERTY, BECAUSE THERE'S MORE TRIPS ABOUT 18% MORE TRIPS DURING THE WEEK, 31% MORE TRIPS ON SATURDAYS, 41% MORE TRIPS ON SUNDAY.
AND AS SOON THEY DIDN'T TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT, WE'VE ASKED FOR A TRAFFIC STUDY, WE'VE ASKED FOR A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES THAT'S GOING TO COME.
WE'VE ASKED FOR THEM TO CONSIDER THE DRAINAGE.
WE'VE ASKED THEM TO, BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THE BILL, BUT THE NEW GOVERNMENT FLOOD PLAINS, THEY ALREADY HAVE TO BE FIVE TO SEVEN FEET HIGHER THAN US.
WE ALREADY HAVE THAT PROBLEM WITH THE BACK.
SO NOW THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE FRONT.
AND THAT, THAT INCLUDES BOTH SIDES OF CREEK MUD, BECAUSE QUICK MUD IS DIVIDED BY HIGHWAY SIX.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE BY THE GOVERNMENT RULES, AT LEAST FIVE TO SEVEN FEET HIGHER THAN US.
SO THAT'S NOT NOTHING THAT ADDRESSED THAT, UM, OPPOSITE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MS. MARSHALL, BEFORE YOU GO, THOUGH, I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION OF YOU, UM, SO THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
SO IS IT IS YOUR BIG CONCERN, THE RENTAL PROPERTIES AND THE REST OF IT BEING LC TWO IS FINE.
I'M TRYING TO, WELL, IT'S ALREADY ELSIE TOO.
SO IT WAS ALREADY ZONED FOR BUSINESSES.
WE JUST ASK TO BAIT, PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH NUISANCES, FOR US, THE NOISE AND THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES THEY PUT THERE.
BUT MAINLY WE JUST DON'T WANT TO RESOLVE THE WAY YOU CAN HAVE RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.
IT'S, IT'S A LOT OF EMPTY HOUSES, A LOT OF RENTAL PROPERTIES GOING IN ALREADY HOMES AND, UH, APARTMENTS.
[00:55:01]
YOU SO MUCH.ANYBODY ELSE HAVE A QUESTION? WERE YOU INVOLVED IN THE MEETINGS WITH LOVE IT? YES, I WAS.
AND THEY ACTUALLY WERE SUPPOSED TO COME BACK TO US AGAIN, BUT WHAT WE GET, I JUST HAPPENED TO BE TALKING TO, UM, FLORIDA EMORY ONE DAY AND TALKED TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND REALIZED THIS HAD ALREADY BEEN PUSHED THROUGH.
SO THEY DID NOT COME BACK TO US WITH WHAT THEY DID IS THEY SENT US AN EMAIL WITH SOME DIFFERENCES, MAKE NOTE, SHOWING US WHAT THE RENTAL PROPERTIES WOULD COST, BUT THAT CHANGES WITH THE MARKET VALUE THAT STILL IMPACTS US.
THEY TRIED TO TELL US THAT IT WOULDN'T BE, IT DOES THE, DID HAVE AN IMPACT ON THEIR FINAL ASSESSMENT ON WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO ENCOURAGE TO BE HERE.
I MEAN, WHEN THE, THE DENSITY IS A LOT LESS THAN IT WAS ORIGINALLY WHEN THEY CAME THROUGH.
AND IS THAT A BY-PRODUCT OF YOUR MEETING? I'M NOT SURE, BUT IS THAT A BYPRODUCT OF, BUT I ALSO KNOW WE'VE ASKED THEM ABOUT THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES THAT ARE GOING TO GO UP, WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW.
THEY SAY THEY WANT TO GO BY THE MARKET VALUE THAT, I MEAN, THAT DOESN'T, I MEAN, YOU COULD PUT A BREWERY THERE.
I MEAN, W WHAT, WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY THEY COULDN'T SHARE WITH, OR THEY WASN'T WILLING TO SHARE IT? YOU KNOW? SO, NO, WE WERE NOT INCLUDED IN WHAT, WHAT ARE THOSE WHAT'S GOING TO GO ON ALL THOSE LITTLE SQUARES.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS KNOW EITHER.
THEY LIKE MINE BECAUSE THAT'S JUST SQUARES.
WE HAVE THAT, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S JUST, OH, THIS IS CONCEPTUAL, BUT LET'S, LET'S JUST, LET'S THINK BUSINESS WISE, IF YOU'RE A BUSINESS OWNER, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO PUT THAT, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU, YOU FINANCIALLY ARE IMPACTED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MS. MARSHALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE DOWN TO JOSH.
AND PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I BUTCHERED THAT NAME.
WOULD YOU STATE YOUR ADDRESS, SIR? YEAH.
THANK YOU COUNCIL FOR YOUR TIME.
UH, IT'S JOSH CHEEKY RICO AND I LIVE AT 42, 10 DRIFTWOOD BEN COURT.
UM, I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS FAIRLY CLOSELY AND THEN FOR SOME COMMUNITY THINGS, AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY, I'M NOT GONNA PROTEST OR SUPPORT THIS.
I WON'T PROTEST OR SUPPORT THIS AT THIS POINT IN TIME, BUT I WANTED TO SAY TO MY COMMUNITY, UM, THE REASONS WHY MAYBE WE SHOULD SUPPORT IT.
AND FROM MY VIEW AS A RESIDENT, I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN BEING ABLE TO GET TO A RESTAURANT IN WALKING DISTANCE AND NOT HAVE TO DRIVE.
APPARENTLY OUR COMMUNITY IS CUT OFF FROM EVERYTHING, SO WE CAN'T GET ANYWHERE WITHOUT GETTING ON THE ROUTE SIX.
THERE'S NO WAY TO GO BEHIND TO, UM, TREMBLE FRESNO.
THERE'S NO WAY TO GET OUT SO THAT OUR ONLY WAY IS TO SIX.
AND I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT TO HAVE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, UM, TO JUST BE ABLE TO WALK TO AND ENJOY OUR COMMUNITY MORE.
SO WHEN WE'RE THINKING ABOUT PROTESTING THESE, I THINK THERE'S AN INSTINCTIVE DESIRE TO BE AGAINST CHANGE, BUT I'M JUST ASKING MY COMMUNITY THAT WOULD BE MORE OPEN TO THE POSITIVE BENEFITS OF SUCH A DEVELOPMENT.
UM, THAT CONCLUDED ALL OF THE SPEAKERS THAT DID SIGN UP TO SPEAK.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT BY CHANCE DID NOT SIGN UP TO SPEAK? OKAY, GREAT.
IS THERE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE TONIGHT FROM LOVE IT? HI, KIMONO.
I'M HOPING THAT MAYBE YOU CAN TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT AND MAYBE YOU COULD SUMMARIZE SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT YOU'VE HEARD AS WELL.
OF COURSE, AS THIS PANEL KNOWS, WE DID, UH, SUBMIT A PROPOSAL BACK IN MARCH, UH, AND WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
BUT THE, REALLY THE KEY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT ON TRACK A, WE HAD PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS AND THAT WAS TURNED DOWN BY CITY COUNCIL.
AND SO WE GOT THAT MESSAGE LOUD
[01:00:01]
AND CLEAR THAT, UH, THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES OF CREEK MONT AND, UM, AND WE KNOW OTHER COMMUNITIES DID NOT SUPPORT MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS.AND WE HAVE SINCE COME BACK AND ARE, UM, SUBMITTING THIS PROPOSAL, HAVING HEARD THAT, UH, VERY STRONG, UM, OPPOSITION TO THE MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS AND THEREFORE COMING BACK SUGGESTING, PROPOSING EITHER, UM, SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL OR, UM, WE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THE HOA ON SEPTEMBER 13TH TO HEAR ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK AND THE HOA ACTUALLY, UM, PROPOSED TOWNHOMES OR CONDOS ON TRACK DAY.
AND SO WE HAVE AGREED THAT WE WOULD CERTAINLY CONSIDER TOWNHOMES OR CONDOS, UH, ALONG WITH A SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL.
UM, IF THE MARKET DICTATES THAT THOSE USES, UM, COULD BE BENEFICIAL.
UH, SO, AND THE REST OF THE TRACKS REALLY FOLLOW THE SAME, UM, THE SAME PROPOSAL, UH, AS WAS SUBMITTED IN OUR PREVIOUS SUBMISSION.
UM, AS FAR AS SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED, UM, WE KNOW THAT, UH, THAT DRAINAGE IS A CONCERN.
UH, THE CITY WILL REQUIRE US TO DO A DRAINAGE IMPACT ANALYSIS AND WILL REQUIRE US TO DO THAT STUDY.
AND, UM, IT WILL BE REVIEWED AND WE WILL HAVE TO, UM, YOU KNOW, ADDRESS ANY DREAM DRAINAGE ISSUES.
AND, UM, AND SO WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO DOING THAT AND COMPLYING WITH THE CITY RULES AND REGULATIONS.
UH, WE KNOW THAT TRAFFIC HAS BEEN A CONCERN.
WE HAVE REITERATED, UH, MANY TIMES THAT WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
WE KNOW THAT THERE'S CONCERN ABOUT, UM, THE TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY SIX AND WATTS PLANTATION.
AND SO WE ARE, UM, AS REQUIRED BY THE CITY AND WE WANT TO, UM, DO THIS ANALYSIS TO UNDERSTAND AND POSSIBLY WORK WITH CHECK STOCK FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
UM, WE WILL, YOU KNOW, BE BEHOLDEN TO THESE, UM, AND NEED TO COMPLY WITH THESE OTHER CITY AGENCIES, NOT ONLY THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, BUT, UM, TXDOT IN REGARDS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING, UH, TRAFFIC WISE, UM, IN OUR MEETING WITH THE HOA, UH, WE ALSO HEARD, UM, WE ALSO, UM, SUBMITTED A PLAN BEFORE THEM, FOR THEM TO CONSIDER AND, UM, GIVE US THEIR FEEDBACK.
AND SO, AS I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED, TRACKED A, WE HEARD FROM THE LAST CITY, YOU KNOW, WE HEARD THAT ATTRACT A NEEDED TO NOT BE MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS.
SO WE ARE SAYING NOW WE WOULD CONSIDER TOWNHOMES.
WE WOULD CONSIDER SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL.
WE ALSO HEARD THAT, UM, PREVIOUSLY OUR DETENTION ON TRACK D WAS, UM, ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
UM, AND SO THE RETAIL BACKED UP TO THE CREEK MONT HOMES.
SO THEY SUGGESTED THAT WE PUT IT IN BACK SO THAT THEY, THAT SOUND AND THAT ACTIVITY COULD BE MITIGATED AND IT WOULD BE MORE OF A PARK-LIKE AREA DIRECTLY BEHIND THEIR HOMES.
SO WE MOVED THAT, UM, TO BEHIND THEIR HOMES, UM, ON TRACK TO BE, WE HAD PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED A GROCERY STORE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT PARCEL.
AND WE HEARD AT THAT HOA MEETING THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERN THAT, THAT GROCERY, IF A GROCERY WENT THERE, IT WOULD BACK UP TO CREATE SMART HOMES.
AND SO WE LISTENED TO THAT AND WE MOVED, UM, WE MOVED TO THE GROCERY TO TRACK, TO EAT AND TOOK IT OUT OF TRACK FEE.
AND, UH, AS YOU KNOW, AND UNDERSTAND THIS AS A CONCEPT PLAN.
AND SO WE ARE OPEN TO HEARING ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS AND RESPONDING TO THOSE CONCERNS AND COMMISSIONERS.
UH, I'D LIKE TO ADD ON TO THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
UH, SO THE SHIPMENTS COVE DEVELOPMENT ACTUALLY WARRANTED THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
UH, IT'S ALREADY BEEN DESIGNED THERE.
WE'RE EXPECTING THEM TO SUBMIT THE PERMITS NEXT MONTH.
I HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE GROCERY STORE.
SO YOU MOVED IT FROM BEHIND THE RESIDENTS ON TRACK B, BUT YOU STILL SET IT BEHIND THE RESIDENTS AND TRACKED E RIGHT.
I, I UNDERSTAND WE HEARD DIRECTLY FROM THE RESIDENTS AND TRACK B.
SO WE WERE TRYING TO RESPOND TO RESPOND TO THAT DIRECT CONCERN AT THAT MEETING.
WOULD YOU HOLD YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE OUT OF THE AUDIENCE, PLEASE? AND WE ARE, WE'RE HAPPY TO, UM, ALSO MITIGATE WITH SOUND,
[01:05:01]
UM, AND THAT THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL PLAN, WHETHER, UH, THE MARKET WOULD DICTATE A GROCERY OR NOT.WE, YOU KNOW, THAT IS, WE DON'T, WE DON'T KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW THE FUTURE, BUT, UM, IF IT COULD BE TO THE RESIDENTS HERE, WE WOULD CERTAINLY LOVE TO.
AND IF WE HAD INTEREST, WE WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE TO PROVIDE THAT.
I HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO TRACK A AS WELL.
UM, YOU'RE SAYING, UM, RENTAL, UM, SOME TYPE OF RENTALS.
SO YOU'RE SAYING RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THAT'S WHAT THE MARKET IS DRIVING.
WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT THAT'S WHAT THE MARKET IS DRIVING.
WE'RE SAYING IT'S A POSSIBILITY, UH, IT W TOWNHOMES COULD BE A POSSIBILITY.
CONDOS COULD BE A POSSIBILITY SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL COULD BE A POSSIBILITY, BUT WE HAVEN'T, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE MARKET IS.
DRIVING HERE IN THIS TRACT IN MISSOURI CITY RIGHT NOW.
I KNOW I HAVE A QUESTION TO, UH, HERE, YOU, YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME COMBINATION THAT YOU WORKED OUT WITH THE HOA BY A COMBINATION OF SOME TYPE COMBINATION TWINS, SINGLE-FAMILY RENTALS AND CONDO SLASH FOUND HOMES, UH, WHERE YOU ALL MORE SPECIFIC OR WHAT DID YOU, UH, UH, WHAT DID YOU DECIDE THAT COMBINATION SHOULD BE? OH, OKAY.
I, I FEAR THERE'S BEEN A MISUNDERSTANDING.
WE, WE, WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT A COMBINATION OF USES.
WE PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL AT THE HOA MEETING.
WE THEN HEARD FEEDBACK THAT TOWNHOMES OR CONDOS WOULD BE PREFERRED.
AND SO WE SAID, WE WOULD CERTAINLY PUT THOSE USES IN THE PLAN AND CONSIDER THEM IF THE MARKET DICTATES.
WE DIDN'T PROPOSE A COMBINATION OF SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL WITH TOWNHOMES, WITH CONDOS.
WOULD THAT BE A CORRECT ASSESSMENT OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID OR WHAT YOU SHARED THAT REALLY WAS NO PROPOSAL? THE PROPOSAL IS FOR THE MID DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL OR THE USE FOR THE R SIX USE IT'S CURRENTLY LC TO COVER AT ALL RIGHT.
SO UNDER MID DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL, IT COULD ALLOW FOR CONDOS, IT COULD ALLOW FOR TOWN HOMES, IT COULD ALLOW FOR SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL.
WE'RE NOT ABLE TO SAY AT THIS MOMENT, WHAT EXACTLY WOULD GO AND TRACK DAY.
UM, NOW THAT YOU'VE MOVED FROM B, I THINK HAVE THE RESIDENT THERE WITHIN 200 FEET BEEN CONTACTED, HAVE YOU, BECAUSE IT'S A CONCEPT, THEY SAVE LETTERS NOW THAT THIS OR NOTICE RATHER.
SO YES, RESIDENTS WITHIN 200 FEET HAVE RECEIVED THE NOTICE, THE COPY THAT IS IN YOUR ALL'S PACKETS.
UM, AND THEN ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN CREEK MON ALSO RECEIVED THE SAME NOTICE.
ALL THE RESIDENTS IN CREEK MUD RECEIVE NOTICE THAT WHILE THE PROPERTY OWNERS, PROPERTY OWNERS, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, YOU SAYING THEY WILL RECEIVE, OR THEY HAVE RECEIVED, THEY HAVE RECEIVED.
SO, SO PART OF THIS PROCESS, WHEN THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED, THEN AHEAD OF THIS MEETING NOTICE IS MAILED OUT TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET.
UH, THE CITY TYPICALLY GOES OUT 250 FEET IS, IS THE STANDARD, UM, FOR THIS CASE.
AND BECAUSE OF THE INTEREST, UH, PROPER NOTICES WERE MAILED OUT TO EVERY PROPERTY OWNER, UM, IN THE CREEK MOUNT SUBDIVISION.
AND SO A COPY OF THAT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKAGE.
THAT'S THE ONE YOU GET TO THE DATE OF THE NOTICE WAS OCTOBER 1ST.
YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION.
I'M HEARING YOU TO SAY THAT RIGHT NOW.
AND YOU'RE IN THE PLANNING STAGE, DEPENDING ON THE MARKET.
IF THE HOMES ARE GOING TO BE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS OR TOWNHOMES, BUT THESE PROPERTIES WOULD STILL BE RENTAL, CORRECT? INCORRECT, THE TOWNHOMES OR CONDOS COULD BE FOR PURCHASE
[01:10:01]
OR PURCHASE.AND SO THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A COMBINATION OF BOTH.
YOU'RE GOING TO DECIDE YOU PLANTED TOGETHER WHAT THE MARKET DICTATES IT TO BE SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL.
THEN YOU WOULD FOLLOW WHAT THE MARKET DICTATES.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT AN APARTMENT THAT WAS CLOSE TO THEM RIGHT NOW.
AND THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC.
IS THAT CORRECT? SO IT, IS THAT CORRECT? YES.
I BELIEVE, UM, I HAD APARTMENTS, UM, WEST OF THIS SITE HAVE BEEN MENTIONED.
SO IF THE MARKET DICTATES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY'LL, THERE WILL BE APARTMENTS THAT'S RIGHT THERE NOW, PLUS THE THING, A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS, WHICH ALSO WOULD BE RENTAL.
SO THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE A CONCERN BECAUSE THE RESIDENTS ARE THERE.
MY NUMBER ONE, OBJECTION WAS THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE TOO MUCH RENTAL.
SO RIGHT NOW, SINCE IT'S CONCEPTUAL, THAT COULD HAPPEN.
AND FOR CLARIFICATION, THE APARTMENTS ARE AS WELL.
SO THE APARTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN REFERENCED TO THE LEFT, SORRY.
SO THE, THE APARTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SPOKEN ABOUT ARE CONCEPTUAL AS WELL.
THEY DO NOT, THEY'RE NOT IN EXISTENCE.
SO WHAT, WHAT, UM, HAS BEEN EXPRESSED IN THE FORT BEN TOWN CENTER, THREE PROJECTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE FORT BEN PARKWAY AND HIGHWAY SIX, UM, THAT CAME BEFORE THE COMMISSION EARLIER THIS YEAR HAS AN APART AS THE MULTIFAMILY ALLOCATION AS PART OF THAT.
BUT THOSE HAVE NOT, UM, BEEN DEVELOPED OR CONSTRUCTED AT THIS POINT.
ARE THOSE APARTMENTS OR DEVIATE FROM THE FUTURE LAND USE IN CHARACTER MAP OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? I BELIEVE IN.
AND, UM, BEFORE THE COMMISSION, YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, FORBIDDEN PARKWAY IS ONE OF THE KEY CORRIDORS THAT THE CITY IS LOOKING AT.
UM, SO THAT KEY CORRIDOR LOOKED AT AN URBAN CHARACTER THAT INCLUDES HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WITH, SO IT IS A DEVIANT DEVIATES FROM THE PLAN.
IT'S A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IN TERMS OF THE ZONING WAS APPROVED.
AND THAT PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE CONFERENCE APPOINT THE APARTMENTS THAT INCLUDE THE APARTMENTS AND THIS PROJECT DEVIATES FROM THE FUTURE LAND USE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, CORRECT.
THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS HERE, DEVIATES FROM THE FUTURE LAND USE AND CHARACTER MAP OF THE COMPANY, IT WOULD REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE LAND, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THE APARTMENTS.
ARE THEY GOING TO REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT AS WELL? SO THE, THE APARTMENTS ARE THE, SO THE, THE MULTI-FAMILY USE IS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED VIA THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT THAT DID NOT REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.
THE OTHER QUESTION WAS BASED ON THE PROTEST LETTERS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M READING THIS CORRECTLY.
YOU RECEIVED 95 LETTERS OR ALL THOSE LETTERS IN PROTESTS AS A, AS A SIX O'CLOCK THIS EVENING.
YES, WE RECEIVED 95 AND 95 WERE IN PROTESTS, I BELIEVE SO.
AND, UH, WE HAD THREE PEOPLE SPEAK TODAY.
ARE THEY INCLUDED IN THE 95? I KNOW AT LEAST TWO WERE.
SO WE, UP TO ALMOST A HUNDRED RESIDENTS THAT ARE IN PROTEST.
WELL, THE TWO WERE INCLUDED WITHIN THE 95 COUNT.
I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING THAT THAT MANY RESIDENTS WOULD COME TOGETHER AND PROTEST OF A PROJECT AT ALL.
YOU KNOW, I'VE ATTENDED MISSOURI CITY MEETINGS AND IT'S GOOD IF WE GET 10 OR 15.
SO IT'S, IT'S, YOU KNOW, I THINK THESE RESIDENTS ARE VERY, VERY MUCH CONCERNED FOR THEM TO ORGANIZE AND GET CLOSE TO 100 PEOPLE TO PROTEST.
I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COMMISSIONERS NEED TO CONSIDER.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? UM, I GUESS I JUST HAVE ONE, I'LL HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION AT IT.
DID YOU GUYS CONSIDER, UM, YOU ALRIGHT, YOU WANT TO DO THE WHOLE THING IS ONE PD.
IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY OF MAYBE NOT DOING THE ENTIRE THING AT ONE TIME TO SEE IF WE CAN FLESH OUT TO SEE HOW THIS THING IS GOING TO SHAPE UP BETTER OR DOES IT HAVE TO ALL BE DONE AT ONE TIME? WE'RE OPEN TO THAT, TO THAT POSSIBILITY.
[01:15:02]
OKAY.UM, WOULD YOU ALSO BE OPEN TO MEET WITH THE RESIDENTS IN GREEK MONT AGAIN, BECAUSE FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD THAT THERE'S IN A SECOND MEETING ANYWAY, IN PERSON.
SO THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A MISUNDERSTANDING ON LOVITZ AND AFTER OUR MEETING WITH THE HOA ON SEPTEMBER 13TH, I DO NOT RECALL AGREEING TO MEET WITH THE HOA.
AGAIN, WE DO RECALL THAT WE COMMITTED TO FOLLOWING UP ON THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED IN THAT HOA MEETING.
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS WERE ASKED OF US ABOUT THE RENTAL RATES OF SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL.
IF SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL WERE TO GO AND TRACK A, A QUESTION WAS ASKED OF US WHETHER WE COULD SHOW A RENDERING OF WHAT SINGLE FAMILY RENTALS MIGHT LOOK THAT ATTRACT A, WHICH WE RESPONDED TO.
WE, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WERE ASKED SPECIFICALLY TO RESPOND TO A GROCERY STORE, TO INGRESS EGRESS QUESTIONS, TO THE MOVING OF THE DETENTION PLANT OF THE DETENTION POND ON TRACK D.
UM, SO, UH, WE HAVE EMAILS WHERE WE'VE TRIED TO SHOW OUR GOOD FAITH AND WILLINGNESS, UH, TO HEAR THESE, THESE CONCERNS AND RESPOND TO THEM IN KIND.
SO YOUR FOLLOW-UP WAS BY EMAIL, CORRECT.
WE ALSO, UM, SHARED, UH, THE REVISED, THE PLAN THAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW, WHICH WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE COMMENTS AND CONCERNS WE HEARD IN THE FIRST HOA MEETING, WHERE WE SHOWED A DIFFERENT SITE PLAN THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, REMARKED AND, UM, CONCERNS AND ISSUES WERE BROUGHT TO US.
SO WE SENT BACK THIS REVISED PLAN IN RESPONSE.
WELL, LET ME ASK THE QUESTION THIS WAY, BECAUSE FROM THE RESIDENTS OF CREEK MINE, THEY WERE EXPECTING A SECOND MEETING.
ARE YOU WILLING SCHEDULE A SECOND MEETING TO MEET WITH THEM IN PERSON TO FOLLOW UP? ABSOLUTELY.
UM, ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? HANG ON.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
UH, JENNIFER, UH, JUST ONE, ONE QUICK QUESTION.
SINCE WE KIND OF FLOATED THE IDEA AROUND ABOUT POSSIBLY BREAKING IT UP TOO.
SO IT'S NOT JUST ONE BIG PD SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF GET A BETTER FEEL.
I THINK MOST OF WHAT I'VE HEARD ON TONIGHT, OR JUST CONCERNS ON THE WHAT IFS AND WHAT IS THIS GOING TO BE? WHAT IS IT, WHAT IS, WHAT IS IT, WHICH WAS WHY? AND THEY DID SAY THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US ON TONIGHT.
SO HOW DO WE HANDLE THAT? I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU BREAK THAT UP.
I THINK YOU GOT TO VOTE ON WHAT WE HAVE, WHAT WE HAVE, WE'LL MEET WITH THE HOA.
IT MEANS HE WANTS, THEY WANT TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
YOU LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT.
I LOOK AT THIS CONCEPT DRAMATICALLY.
DIFFERENT INPUT WAS FROM THE RESIDENTS.
THESE RESIDENTS ARE AN AMAZING GROUP BECAUSE I'VE BEEN AT THESE MEETINGS FOR 20 YEARS.
AND THE DEVELOPERS LISTENING, THIS LAND WILL BE DEVELOPED.
I MAY BE LONG GONE, BUT IT WILL BE DEVELOPED BY SOMEBODY BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS PAYING PROPERTY TAX ON IT.
AND IF YOU GET A DEVELOPER THAT WANTS TO LISTEN TO THE NEIGHBORS AND THEN ACTUALLY PUT IT IN WRITING THAT THIS, OKAY, THIS WAS, THIS IS OUR NEW CONCEPT.
I MEAN, IT HAS TO HAVE A LIMIT SOMEWHERE.
I MEAN, HOW MANY MEETINGS TO TALK ABOUT MEETINGS? I MEAN, THESE PEOPLE WANT TO BRING MONEY TO OUR COMMUNITY.
THEY BELIEVE IN US THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO TAKE IT OUT OF THEIR BANK AND PUT IT IN OUR LAND THAT SURROUNDS US TO PROVIDE GOODS AND SERVICES FOR US.
YOU I'D LIKE TO ADD TO THAT ONE RESIDENT BROUGHT UP THE FACT THAT IT'S WALKABLE.
SO SOME OF THE NEW THINGS IS SUSTAINABLE AND WALKABLE.
SO THEY'RE TRYING TO PUSH IN A PRODUCT THAT WE GENERALLY DON'T HAVE, PARTICULARLY ALONG THIS LENGTH.
AND THEY'RE TRYING TO UTILIZE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE STRIP MALLS AND EMPTY THINGS INTO SOMETHING THAT'S MORE WALKABLE AND MORE FLEXIBLE FOR DEVELOPMENT TO BRING IN MORE PRODUCTS.
SO AGAIN, I GUESS THE THING THAT CONCERNS ME FOR CREEK MONT
[01:20:01]
IS IS THAT IF WE DON'T GO WITH A PLAN DEVELOPMENT WITH A DEVELOPER THAT HAS DONE SOME LISTING AS, AS BASICALLY MOVED AROUND SOME MAJOR ELEMENTS ON THEIR CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND SHOWN THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO BE FLEXIBLE, YOU CAN HAVE 10 MORE STRIPES RUNNING 24 7 UP AND DOWN THE STREET, OR YOU CAN BE BACKED UP TO A LOWE'S OR YOU CAN BE BACKED UP TO SOMETHING ELSE THAT MORE THAN LIKELY WON'T HAVE THIS HIGH END, AT LEAST TARGET IN PLACE.AND, OR A POINT OUT THAT THE PD WILL ALLOW FLEXIBILITY IN THE FUTURE.
EVEN IF LOVE IT, CAN'T MAKE IT WORK.
THAT ALLOWS US AS A CITY TO DRIVE IT AWAY FROM JUST A PURE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
SO AGAIN, I'D LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER THAT BECAUSE AGAIN, I'M LIKE JOHN, I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE QUITE 20 YEARS, BUT IT SURE IS GETTING THERE.
UM, AND I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 87.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS HIGHWAY SIX CORRIDOR CAN LOOK LIKE THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN, OR IT CAN LOOK LIKE WHAT WE WANT IT TO BE WITH MORE WALKABLE AND MORE FLEXIBLE ITEMS, UM, THAT WILL MEET GOALS THAT THE CITY CAN PUT OUT THERE FOR OTHER DEVELOPMENT.
THEY CAN GET FUNDING WITH LOVE IT AND OTHER PEOPLE TO CONNECT.
WE CAN GET MONEY FROM TECHSTOP FOR SUSTAINABLE, UM, WALKABLE SPACES TYING INTO TXDOT.
WE MAY BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO BEAT TXDOT OUT OF A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OR A PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL TO GO ACROSS THERE.
UM, I WOULD NEVER BELIEVE THAT A AND M THEY WOULD'VE PUT IN TWO TUNNELS UNDERNEATH TO GET PEOPLE TO KYLE FIELD IN MY LIFETIME, BUT THEY DO, THEY HAVE TO, AND TXDOT HELPED PAY FOR THAT.
SO IT REALLY, THIS KIND OF PRODUCT IN MY MIND REALLY OPENS UP A LOT OF PLACES FOR US.
SO I WANT THE CREEK MONT GUYS TO, TO THINK THAT AS WELL, BECAUSE REALLY YOU HAVE SHAPED SOME OF THIS ALREADY, BUT THE IDEA THAT THESE PEOPLE WANT TO COME IN ALONG HIGHWAY A HIGHWAY SIX TO DO THAT TO ME IS IT'S LIKE JOHN IS PRETTY FANTASTIC.
UM, AND I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT IF I CAN.
UH, I UNDERSTAND FROM A DEVELOPER STANDPOINT THAT THIS MAY BE A GREAT IDEA AND A, THE, THE, UH, PROPERTY, THIS LAND IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED, BUT AS A PUBLIC SERVANT, I'M VERY CONCERNED WHEN A DEVELOPER COMES IN, THEY HAVE THIS MANY RESIDENTS THAT JUST DO NOT FEEL THEY ARE PART OF THE PLAN.
I UNDERSTAND IT FROM A DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND ALL THAT, BUT I FEEL THAT YOU CANNOT IGNORE RESIDENTS.
I DON'T HEAR THEM SAYING, WE DON'T WANT THIS.
I'M HEARING THEM SAY, I WANT TO BE AT THE TABLE.
YOU KNOW, I WANT TO BE PART OF THE PLANNING OF THIS.
THIS IS WHERE I'M GOING TO BE LIVING.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S A LOT TO ASK.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ARE, HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING REAL IMPORTANT.
QUICK, COULD I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST AND THEN WE CAN CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION.
IS THERE A SECOND? THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. SILVER, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE CLOSE, THE PUBLIC HEARING SAYING, AYE.
I'VE HEARD YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.
AND ALSO O'MALLEY AND BRIGHTWELL.
SO THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US ON TONIGHT.
UM, IT IS A CONCEPT PLAN AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
SO JENNIFER, JUST TO CONFIRM, WE WILL GET ANOTHER BITE AT THE APPLE.
ONCE IT GETS DOWN TO THE PLANNING PHASE OF IT APPROVED, THEN ALL OF THESE TRACKS WOULD HAVE TO BE PLANTED, UM, BEFORE DEVELOPMENT, BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND, THE PLATTING IS NOT DISCRETIONARY.
UM, SO THE PLANNING OF THE PROPERTY WOULD HAVE TO THEN BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY AND THEN OTHER ADOPTED CITY AT RELATIVE REGULATIONS, INCLUDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN MANUAL.
AND THE REASON WHY I WAS POINTING THAT OUT IS BECAUSE IT GIVES US ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY SHOULD THIS
[01:25:01]
THING GET RESOLVED TO WHERE WE CAN DO OUR BEST TO PUT IN AS MUCH, UM, PROTECTION FOR CREEK MONTH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.UM, CREEK MONT, UM, I UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERNS AS WELL, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE FACED WITH THIS FOR MORE YEARS TO COME.
YOU SEE ALL OF THE VACANT LAND, THAT'S STILL ALL THE WAY AROUND CREEK MONTH.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY FACE THIS, WHICH WAS ONE REASON WHY I WAS ASKING, IS THERE ANY KIND OF WAY TO BREAK IT UP SO THAT WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT OF IT AT A TIME? NO PROBLEM.
SO AT THIS POINT, IS THERE A MOTION TO CONSIDER THIS A FINAL REPORT AND SEND IT WITH A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION? OR IS THERE A MOTION TO CONSIDER THIS AS A FINAL REPORT AND SEND THIS WITH A NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION AND YES.
WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION AND TO ACCEPT THIS AS THE FINAL REPORT AND WE HAVE A SECOND ALSO FROM MR. BRIGHT, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
1, 2, 3, MS. LUCAS, HOW ARE YOU VOTING? WHAT, WHAT DID YOU VOTE? OKAY, SO WE HAVE FOUR EYES AND THREE NAMES.
SO THE MOTION DOES, UH, CARING.
[8.A. ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT]
MOVE NOW TO ITEM EIGHT ZONING, TEXT AMENDMENTS, AND TONIGHT WE WILL, UM, SERVE AS THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND WE'LL RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR, OR AGAINST AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 18.UH, HOPEFULLY THIS IS THE LAST TIME THERE'LL BE HEARING FROM ME ON THIS ITEM.
UM, IF YOU'LL RECALL, AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC, UM, AT THE LAST MEETING AND THE MEETING BEFORE THAT, I BELIEVE I MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE ONE SECTION 18 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE WAS UPDATED TO COMPORT WITH STATE LAW AND MARCH, 2020, THE VARIANTS AND SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS PROVISIONS WERE INADVERTENTLY REMOVED.
UM, MUCH OF THAT IS DERIVED FROM STATE LAW OR THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
SO, UM, THE, THAT, THAT DOESN'T HAVE AS VERY LITTLE EFFECT ON THE, THE OPERATION OF THE ZONING BOARD, BUT FOR CLARITY SAKE, IT'S BEING RECOMMENDED THAT THOSE PROVISIONS BE ADDED BACK IN, UM, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE MARCH, 2020 AND, UH, THE DRAFT THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED THIS TIME IS THAT THE 2021, UH, STATE LEGISLATURE HAS DEFINED WHAT CONSTITUTES A, UH, A HARDSHIP FOR THE PURPOSES OF GRANTING A VARIANCE.
SO, UH, THAT LANGUAGE HAS BEEN ADDED INTO THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT SHOULD JUST RESTORE THE ORDINANCE TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE MARCH OF LAST YEAR.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ALRIGHTY.
UM, WE ALSO, WE HAVE TO RECEIVE, UH, WE DON'T HAVE A PUBLIC ANYMORE.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN REGARDS TO THE DISOWNING TEXT AMENDMENT? ALL RIGHT.
IS THERE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? THANK YOU, MR. PREGNANT.
THANK YOU, MS. LUCAS, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AND I AS WELL.
IS THERE A MOTION THAT WE CONSIDER THIS AS OUR FINAL REPORT AND FORWARD IT ON WITH THE POSITIVE RECOMMENDATIONS? THANK YOU, MS. LUCAS, IS THERE A SECOND? THANK YOU, MR. GRIFFIN.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE AND I AS WELL.
ANY NAYS? THAT MOTION CARRIES.
WELL, YOU GOT OFF THE HOOK EASY TONIGHT.
NO, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A FOOD
[01:30:01]
TRUCK OR SIGN ON TONIGHT NOR CANOPY.UM, IS THERE A MO WE HAVE NO FURTHER BUSINESS IN OUR PER VIEW ON TONIGHT.
IS THERE A MOTION THAT WE ADJOURN? I THANK YOU FOR THAT, MR. GRIFFIN, I JUST LOVE YOUR VOICE.
THANK YOU, MS. LUCAS, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE AND I AS WELL.
OH, GODS COULD Y'ALL PLEASE GIVE THE PROTEST LETTERS.
COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE THOSE BACK TO MISS, UH, JIMA, PLEASE?
