[00:05:01]
I GO THROUGH SERVER WHERE WE DO ALL.MADAM CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.
IF I MAY JUST SAY A FEW WORDS, THIS IS SHASHA C'MON DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY MARK CLEARS AGO, BUT HE WAS BORN AND BROUGHT UP HERE IN THE ZUORA CITY.
UH, HE HAS BEEN A GREAT ADDITION WAS A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR TEAM ON A GERMAN.
I'M JUST NOT LIKING IT, BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THAT GREAT ADDITION TO THIS TEAM? HE CAME AND WHEN HE WAS ALWAYS SITTING WAS ON THE AIRPORT TIME IN TERMS OF GROWTH, HE SINGLE MANAGED THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
YOU HAVE SEEN HERE IN THE FRONT, UH, YOU MADE SURE THAT 95% OF THE TIME, ALL OUR REVIEWS WERE COMPLETED ON TIME.
I WOULD SAY, JEREMY, AND YOU DO THIS.
I KNOW EVERY
IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST MASTERCLASSES THE CITY HAS EVER DONE IN TERMS OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.
WE ALSO STARTED THE, UH, IPS AND MASSIVE THOROUGHFARE PLAN UPDATE THAT, YOU KNOW, BMC, MY MEMBERS HAVE SEEN IT AND LITTLE COMPANY, YOU AS A FINAL PRODUCT, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT IT MEETS EVEN THE, THE BAR THAT YOU SET FOR THE WATERSHED MASTER PLAN.
I REALLY WANT TO THANK HIM FOR THE SERVICE AND THE DEDICATION FOR MINNESOTA CITY.
IF I MAY KINDLY REQUEST BNZ MEMBERS TIME WE WANT TO CELEBRATE IS GOING IN.
WE HAVE A SIGN MADE FOR JEREMY DAVIS Y'ALL COULD THE POLICE COME IN AND HAVE JEREMY CONGRATULATE AND PICK A PICTURE WITH JEREMY.

WE'RE HERE AT THE CITIES WHERE YOU GREW UP, WHERE YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND THIS.
[6. PUBLIC COMMENT]
OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.IF THERE WAS ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE COMMISSION FOR BLUE ABOUT AN ITEM THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA.
SEEING NONE WE'LL MOVE RIGHT ALONG.
[00:10:02]
OKAY.[A. CONSENT AGENDA]
THESE WILL BE THE PLATS UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA.ALL OF THESE ITEMS ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE ONE, CONSIDER AN APPLICATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT OF OAKWOOD RISK CENTER TO CONSIDER AN APPLICATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT, A PARKWAY CROSSING PHASE TWO, THREE.
THIS CONSIDERATION OF AN APPLICATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT OF JR TIRE SHOP HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN BY THE APPLICANT FOR CONSIDER AN APPLICATION OF A FINAL PLAT OF FORT BEN TOWN CENTER THREE SECTION ONE AND FIVE, CONSIDER AN APPLICATION OF A FINAL PLAT OF FORD VAN TOWN CENTER THREE, SECTION TWO AND SIX IS ACTUALLY A DUPLICATE, WHICH WAS TO CONSIDER AN APPLICATION OF FINAL PLAT OF IN Q M L.
SO WE WON'T BE CONSIDERING SIX DEVON CONSIDER AN APPLICATION OF A REPLANT OF KIN FOREST GREEN AND EIGHT.
CONSIDER AN APPLICATION OF A FINAL PLAT OF FORT BEN TOWN CENTER THREE, SECTION THREE.
IS THERE A SECOND? WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. HANEY AND A SECOND BY MR. BRIGHTWELL.
I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION IN REGARDS TO ITEM SEVEN, THE KIM FOREST, UH, GREEN IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BE A REPLAT, BUT IT REALLY WHAT, THERE REALLY WASN'T A LOT OF DESCRIPTION IN IT.
WHAT IS IT? WHAT ARE THEY DOING? SO IT'S ACTUALLY, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, IT'S ACTUALLY RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.
IT'S A PIECE OF PROPERTY, UM, CONTAINING A DAYCARE.
AND SO IT'S JUST DESIGNATING THOSE PROPERTY LINES, UM, FOR THAT PIECE.
SO IT'S, IT'S NOT MUCH TO THE PLATT OTHER THAN, UM, ESTABLISHING THOSE BOUNDARY LINES FOR THE PIECE.
THAT'S JUST THE DAYCARE TRACK.
SO NO TEARING DOWN, NONE OF THAT.
WERE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE.
[B. LEXINGTON VILLAGE]
NOW TO ITEM B LEXINGTON VILLAGE WILL CONSIDER AN UPDATED CONCEPT PLAN OF LEXINGTON.COULD YOU THINK TO YOUR CHAIRWOMAN AND COMMISSIONERS? UM, SO ITEM SEVEN, B LEXINGTON VILLAGE, UM, THEY JUST RESOLVED THE CONCEPT PLAN TO INCLUDE UTILITY CONNECTION PHASING.
SO THEY HAVE SPECIFIED THE NUMBER OF UNITS FOR EACH SECTION AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? IS THERE A SECOND? THANK YOU, MR. O'MALLEY FOR THE SECOND HAND, PAINTING MADE THE MOTION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR DENIES.
ANY NAMES SEEN ON THAT MOTION CARRIES.
UM, WE CONSIDER IT FOR FINAL PLAT FOR LEXINGTON VILLAGE.
IS THERE A SECOND? THANK YOU, MR. BRIGHTWELL, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
ARE THERE ANY NAMES ON THAT MOTION STANDS AS WELL.
[C. NQMF Fort Bend Town Center III]
NOW TO ITEM C IN Q M F FORT BEN TOWN CENTER THREE.UM, THEY'RE ASKING US TO CONSIDER A FINAL PLAT FOR SECTION ONE.
THOSE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF FINAL POT OF NEW CLASS.
MULTI-FAMILY FOR BEN THOMPSON, OUR SECTION ONE AND SECTION TWO, UM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED A PARKLAND DEDICATION AS OF YET.
SO STAFF COULD NOT RECOMMEND, UM, AND APPROVAL CONDITIONS.
UM, COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO ITEM ONE OR TWO? HE HAVE NOT PROVIDED THEY HAVE NOT GONE THROUGH THE PARKLAND DEDICATION PROCESS.
SO BEFORE A FINAL PO OBLIGATION IS SUBMITTED, THEY NEED TO HAVE THE PARKLAND DEDICATION, UM, COMPLETED, AND THEY HAVE NOT COMPLETED IT.
THIS IS MARKED AS A MISSION TRIP, RIGHT? THIS IS THE INITIAL APPLICATION FOR THE FINAL POT.
THE WRITTEN RESPONSE APPLICATION IS BASICALLY IF THEY WANT TO RESPOND TO THE COMMENTS OF THIS ONE.
[00:15:01]
IF THEY RESPOND TO THIS STAFF REPORT, THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A WRITTEN RESPONSE APPLICATION.THE INITIAL APPLICATION SUBMITTED IS THE INITIAL PROFUSION FOR THE FINAL THOUGHT.
BUT WHEN THEY SUBMIT THE MISSING INFORMATION, WILL YOU COME BACK TO THE MISSION? YES, THEY CAN DO THAT.
SO ONCE THEY HAVE THE PARKLAND DEDICATION, THEY CAN ACTUALLY SUBMIT A WRITTEN RESPONSE APPLICATION AND THEN STAFF WOULD REEVALUATE AND CONSIDER APPROVAL AND CORRECT.
AND WE WILL SEE THE FINAL PLAN, CORRECT? YES.
I DON'T BELIEVE WE'VE RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION.
THEY SHOULDN'T IT'S IT'S MORE PROCEDURES.
IT WAS ODD TO SEE THAT THAT WAS MISSING.
IS THERE? THANK YOU MR. HANEY AND MR. O'MALLEY, IS THERE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR FOR THAT MOTION? MOTION CARRIES FOR BOTH ITEMS. WE ARE NOW AT THE ZONING
[A. SPECIFIC USE PERMIT - YES PREP]
MAP, THIS WILL BE A REQUEST FOR AN ISSUE.AND THIS WILL ALSO BE A PUBLIC
SO WE RECEIVED AN APPLICATION FROM KEITH WEAVER OF YES.
PREP FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO L OFF OF THE LOCATION OF A PLACE OF ASSEMBLY, WHICH WOULD BE A PUBLIC SCHOOL.
UM, THIS WOULD BE ON AN APPROXIMATELY 8.29 ACRE TRACT OF LAND.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED NORTH AND EAST OF BELTWAY, EIGHT SOUTH OF FONDREN PARK, RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WEST OF THE MISSOURI CITY FIRE STATION.
SO THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONE INDUSTRIAL, UM, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DO A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE LOCATION OF THE SCHOOL.
UM, THE PROPOSED SCHOOL SITE PLAN INCLUDES 82 STORIES, 73,000 SQUARE FOOT WITH AN OUTDOOR BASKETBALL PAVILION AND A PLAYGROUND.
THE SUBJECT SITE WILL FOLLOW THE REGULATIONS OF THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING, WHICH IS THE BASE ZONING AT THIS LOCATION.
STAFF WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF POSSIBLE TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION TO THE LOCATION OF THIS OTHER ENTRANCE ON THE SITE.
THE APPLICANT STATED THAT 78% OF THE VEHICLES WAITING DROP OFF WILL BE ABLE TO WAIT ONSITE RATHER THAN ON MCCLEAN ROAD.
ENGINEERING IS REQUESTING A FULL TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS TO BE CONSIDERED OR TO BE CONDUCTED ON THOSE SITES.
DOV IS RECOMMENDING THE COMMISSION TO, FOR THOSE REPORTS TO CITY COUNCIL WITH A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT BRIEF SUMMARY.
MS. LEWIS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF, I HAVE A QUESTION.
YOU SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE A TRAFFIC REPORT CAUSE I SEE CUTE PROTESTS AND THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO PRESENT IT TO CITY COUNCIL BEFORE THE TRAFFIC REPORT.
SO TYPICALLY WHEN THEY PERFORM THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR IT WHEN THEY'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLATTING PROCEDURES.
UM, WE DID DISCUSS WITH THE APPLICANT ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THEIR SOUTHERN DRIVEWAY.
UM, IT'S TOO CLOSE TO, UH, THE BELTWAY FRONTAGE ROAD.
UH, AND, UH, IT DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T THAT'S OUR STANDARDS.
SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR A FULL CATEGORY THREE TIA
BUT THEY GOT TURNING MAINTENANCE, TURNING
[00:20:01]
STACKED, UH, WITH THE TRAFFIC WILL AFFECTTHEY NIGHT IN EVENINGS TAKING THEIR DAILY WALKS IN THE MORNING
UH, I JUST, I JUST DON'T SEE HOW IT WOULD BE CONDUCIVE TO THEM TO ENTER FROM THAT DESK.
THAT'S WHERE YOU TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? JASON, FROM, FROM MCCLAIN, AS OPPOSED TO FROM THE BELTWAY, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY TWO ENTRANCE.
SO THERE'S ALREADY A DRIVEWAY ON THE BELTWAY AND WE ASKED THEM ABOUT THAT, BUT THEY WANTED TO HAVE THIS ENTRANCE OFF OF EXPLAIN EXACTLY.
AND THAT'S WHERE OUR RESIDENTS, INCLUDING ME GO IN AND OUT, GOING TO IT FROM WORK IN THE MORNING, THAT WAY NEXT LANE ONTO THE BELTWAY.
SO, UH, UH, WE HAVE TOO MANY WAREHOUSES RIGHT HERE IN OUR SUBDIVISION.
WHERE WOULD THAT BE IN THE STREET? IS THAT IN THE PATHWAY OF IT'S IN THE PATHWAY OF PARENTS DROPPING OFF THEIR KIDS, RIGHT THERE COULD BE USING THE SAME.
SO IF THERE WAS ANY EMERGENCY, THE FIRE STATION WOULD HAVE TO MANEUVER OR SOME WAY.
AND THE STUDENTS AND THE PARENTS AND ALL OF THAT.
THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR ANYTHING.
THAT'S WHAT I'M LEANING TO MY VOTE WOULD BE.
CAN, CAN IT BE REROUTED? CAN THAT BE AN ALTERNATIVE TO GET DONE? WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? SO THE MADAM CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS, IT'S CERTAINLY THE DISCRETION OF BNZ.
TYPICALLY, AS JEREMY INDICATED, WE ASKED FOR A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T KNOW, UH, BECAUSE, UH, ANY SCHOOL CREATES TRAFFIC THAT HAS A CIRCULATION PLAN.
THAT IS A ROUTING PLAN THAT WE ASKED FOR THAT COMES IN AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO RECOMMEND SOMETHING TO THIS COMMISSION UNTIL WE HAVE SEEN THAT.
AND WE DON'T MEAN THAT THERE IS NO ADVERSE IMPACT WITH, AND YOU DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO, UH, WHEN THE PRELIMINARY PLAT COMES TO YOU TO REQUEST THAT AND LOOK AT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND WHETHER DENIED OR MOVE FORWARD AT THAT STAGE.
I MUST ALSO SAY, AND MAYBE MR. QUINTON CAN CORRECT ME HERE, UH, AT THE DISCRETION OF THE P AND Z.
YOU CERTAINLY DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REQUEST THE APPLICANT WHO HAS FOR TIA, EVEN AT THE STAGE.
UH, BUT THAT'S NOT TYPICALLY DONE.
THAT'S TYPICALLY DONE AT, BEFORE THE SUBMISSION AND REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAN.
UH, I DON'T THINK SO INDIRECTLY.
[00:25:01]
HE DID.I'VE LEARNED TO LISTEN FOR WHAT'S NOT SO, OKAY.
LET'S LET'S DO THIS IS THE APPLICANT A WONDERFUL SERVANT.
YOU STEP UP TO THE PODIUM AND TELL US YOUR NAME AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME HEAVY QUESTIONS, NOT A PROBLEM.
I'M THE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS.
I'M REPRESENTING THEM TONIGHT.
WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND YOU KNOW, THE MOBILITY OF THIS ISSUE, CAUSE YOU ARE IN A VERY, VERY TIGHT AREA HERE AND IS THE PROBABILITY OF RELOCATING THE ENTRANCE TO ANOTHER LOCATION? UH, WE DEFINITELY WOULD DO THE FULL TIA TRAFFIC ANALYSIS IMPACT.
SO, AND ONCE THAT'S COMPLETED BY THIRD PARTY, WE WOULD GO IN AND TAKE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY'VE HAD AND WHAT THAT WOULD ACCOMPLISH FOR US.
AND THEN WE WOULD DESIGN TO THAT.
NOW THAT WOULD BE DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH YOUR FOLKS.
AS WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MITIGATION WOULD BE WITHOUT HAVING THAT REPORT IN FRONT OF ME.
DO YOU THINK THAT GIFTS PREP WOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS MAKING THOSE SUGGESTED RECOMMENDATIONS, WHETHER IT BE A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR I, I DON'T THINK THAT WE WOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE PUT FORTH.
I MEAN, WE WOULD, WE, WE BUILT SCHOOLS ALL OVER TOWN.
I'VE GOT 22 CAMPUSES, SO, AND WE DEALT WITH PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY AT ALL OF THEM.
SO GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DOING THE TIA AND COMING UP WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF WHAT COULD MITIGATE, WHAT PIECE WE'RE FULLY FAMILIAR WITH AND HAVE TAKEN THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND DESIGNED INTO AND PUT THE DESIGN APPLICATION, YOU HAVE HAPPY SCHOOL LOCATED THE BILL
IT'S ONE OF MY FRIENDS DUMMIES.
DID YOU DESIGN THE ONE AT BUTLER STADIUM? I HAVE COMPLETED EVERY PROJECT.
I CAN'T, OR IT'S CLOSE TO GUESTS OR IT'S A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN THE STREET, BUT, AND SHE'S LESS THAN THREE MILES AND WHERE YOU WANT TO PUT THIS ONE IS ABOUT TWO MILES FROM WHERE YOU WANT TO PUT THIS.
AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS THE CAMPUS THAT'S LOCATED ON BELFORD IS A SIXTH THROUGH 12TH GRADE CAMPUS.
DO YOU GUYS PROVIDE BUS TIME? YES, MA'AM WE DO.
OUR BUSING SERVICES A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN A TRADITIONAL ISD WOULD BE.
WE DO STOPS AT SPECIFIC LOCATIONS.
CARROTS TAKE TO THOSE STOPS BECAUSE WE USUALLY IN WE'LL A LITTLE BIT LARGER RADIUS THAN TRADITIONAL.
AND DO THE BUTTON WITH THE BUSES ENTER FROM THIS SAME LOCATION.
AND WHAT I WOULD TELL YOU IS, UH, CURRENTLY WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TRAFFIC ISSUES ON ARRIVAL AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE IT'S SPREAD OUT.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE START STARTED 8, 8, 5, 8, 10, 8 20.
AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ALL THERE BY EIGHT 30 TYPE THING.
THE DISMISSAL IS THE ONE THAT DOES THE STACKING AND THAT'S THE REASONABLE I DO SEE, BUT DESIGN WITH STACKING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF THE BUILDING AND ACROSS THE FRONT.
AND THAT'S TO GET THOSE PARROTS THAT ARE PICKING UP OFF THE STREET.
IT'S NOT ON THIS PARTICULAR, UH, RENDERING THAT WE HAVE YOUR BUS, THE BUSES ACTUALLY STACK ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THEY ARE RELEASED WHOLLY.
SO WE STOP THE TRAFFIC ON THE CAMPUS SITE AND LET ALL THE BUSES RUN AT ONE TIME OUT AND GO TO THE INTERSECTIONS.
AND THEN WE START THE TRAFFIC BACK UP AGAIN.
OUR, I WILL TELL YOU THAT ON THE FIRST DAY, IT'S THIS QUICK, BUT AFTER A WEEK OR SO, THE TRAFFIC USUALLY GETS INTO ABOUT A 30 MINUTE DISMISSAL.
[00:30:06]
HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT TREK? FIRST STARTED OUT.WE'VE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT TRAFFIC, AN AWFUL LOT OVER THE YEARS.
AND ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT CONTINUES TO EDUCATE US IS THE POPULATION HERE IN TOWN.
I MEAN, IT JUST KEEPS GROWING AND GROWING AND THE STREETS GET MORE CONGESTED AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
SO THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING NOW ARE MUCH LARGER THAN WHAT THEY USED TO BE.
WE WOULD HAVE ONE ENTRY EXIT TOWARDS THE NORTH ONE ENTRY EXIT TOWARDS THE SOUTH.
IT WAS, WE WOULD RUN IT ONE WAY FOR OUR TRAFFIC PATTERN DURING THE ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL.
AND THEN DURING THE DAY FOR SECURITY REASONS, WE WOULD SHUT IT ALL DOWN TO ONE ENTRY.
BASICALLY THE ONE THAT SLIPPED IS IT'S THE ONE ON MCLEAN RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T HAVE ONE DESIGNED INTO THE BELTWAY.
SO THAT'S JUST ONE INTERESTING.
NO, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE UP FURTHER, ALL THE WAY UP AT THE CORNER OF THE NORTH QUARTER, WHERE THE BOULEVARD IS AT THE EDGE OF THE SUBDIVISION.
GREAT, GOOD, GREAT, GREAT RED CIRCLE ALL THE WAY TO THE NORTH OF THE SHEET OR THE TOP OF THE SHEET ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.
I SEE IT AT THE TOP, BUT I CAN'T, IT'S ALL MCLEAN IS ON MCLEAN ENTRANCE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE FIRE STATION DIRECTLY AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF THE SUBDIVISION RIGHT THERE AT THE FEET OF THE BELTWAY WHERE WE GO IN AND OUT THROUGHOUT THE
I'M WONDERING WHY SOME TRAFFIC SO HEAVY GOING ON TO
NOT TO MENTION, LIKE I SAID, GO AHEAD.
THERE WAS A PICTURE OF WHERE THE BAR STATION WAS.
THERE WAS A SLIDE THAT SHOWING THAT.
CAN YOU SHOW THAT AGAIN RIGHT THERE? AND WHERE'S THE FIRE STATION GETS THE SECOND, NOT THE LARGE WAREHOUSE BUILDING AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE PAGE.
IT'S THE NEXT BUILDING UP IS THE FIRE STATION.
FIRE STATION SITS ON THE CLAIM.
MA'AM THE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY IN THE FIRE STATION HIT EXIT, THEY RUN THE RISK OF HAVING TRAFFIC ALONG CLAIM WITH YOUR OPENING AND CLOSING OF PARENTS PICKING UP THEIR KIDS AS WELL.
BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO EXIT OFF, OUT ON THE CLAIM.
THEY WOULD, THAT'S THE ONLY EXIT AT THE FIRE STATION.
UM, JENNIFER IS, THERE IS, I GUESS IT'S IN COMPLIANCE FOR A FIRE STATION TO HAVE POSSIBLY HAVE, UH, SOME TYPE OF DISTRACTION, NOT A DISTRACTION, BUT TO ELIMINATE THEM FROM EXITING THEIR PATHWAY IN THE CASE OF EMERGENCY.
IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU? IS THERE A, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST, I'M JUST THINKING, BECAUSE IT'S AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE, DOES IT, CAN TRAFFIC HINDER OR THE POSSIBILITY OF TRAFFIC HINDERING ITS EXIT FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT? I'M JUST CURIOUS.
WELL, UM, ONCE THE FIRE TRUCK LEAVES THE STATION, IT IS STATE LAW THAT PEOPLE NEED TO MOVE OUT THE WAY FOR THE RED LIGHTS, UM, WOULD HAVE TO BE, UH, IF THE VEHICLES HAVE AN ABILITY TO OUT THE WAY.
[00:35:08]
AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO GO BACK TO TIA AS WELL.IT'S GOING TO GO BACK TO THE TIA AS WELL, BECAUSE THE TIA IS GOING TO FACTOR IN, YOU KNOW, THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS.
SO YOU HAVE A FIRE STATION THAT HAS A TRAFFIC PATTERN INCLUDED.
SO THAT SHOULD BE FACTORED INTO THAT ANALYSIS WHEN THAT ANALYSIS IS RUNNING.
SO RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, THE EMERGENCY ACCESS, EMERGENCY TIMEFRAME, UM, THE FIRE CHIEF HAS BROUGHT THIS UP WITH, UH, THIS APPLICATION.
AND SO THEY WILL BE PART OF THE REVIEW PROCESS.
UM, BUT ALL OF THAT INFORMATION HAS TO COME IN THE DATA THAT COMES IN WITH THE TIA ANALYSIS AND SUBSEQUENT REVIEWS OF THE LAYOUT.
DO YOU KNOW THE COMMENTS FROM THE FIRE STATION MANAGER? IT'S IN GENERAL AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT A CONCEPT PLAN.
AND SO THAT DETAILED WOULD COME IN FURTHER DOWN INTO DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
UM, BUT THE CONCERN IS THE CONVERSATION WE'RE HAVING RIGHT NOW IS, UM, PUTTING A USE OF THIS INTENSITY AT THAT LOCATION AND WHAT IMPACTS THAT THEY HAVE ON THE EXISTING TRAFFIC CLUB.
SO IT'S THE FIRE CHIEF TO CONCERN.
HAS HE VOICED SOME CONCERN? IT'S A CONCERN THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
AND SO THE CONVERSATION WOULD BE IF THE USE IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS LOCATION, UM, ANY MITIGATION THAT WE CAN DO FROM A LAND USE PERSPECTIVE ON THE INTENSITY OF THAT USE AND THEN THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF IT, IF YOU USE IT AS APPROVED, UM, WILL CONTINUE TO BE VETTED.
IF IT GOES FARTHER TO THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, IS IT PROPER TO GET THE, THE FIRE CHIEF COMMENTS OR REMARKS AFTER THE WHOLE PROCESS WE CAN, BUT IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BE GENERAL BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, FROM THE FIRE ACUTE FIRE MARSHAL STANDPOINT, IT'S, THEY HAVE THEIR, UH, RESPONSE TIMES THE TARGETED RESPONSE TIMES.
SO THAT IS STILL THE GOAL OF THE CITY.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO AIM FOR.
SO THE POSITIONING OF FIRE STATIONS, THE ACCESS TO IT FROM THE FIRE STATIONS ARE STRUCTURED TO MEET THOSE RESPONSES.
SO ANY MITIGATION THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NEEDS TO NOT DIMINISH THE ABILITY OF THE FIRE RESPONSE VEHICLE TO MEET THOSE TARGETS.
I DON'T THINK YOU, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? SORRY ABOUT THAT.
A COUPLE OF THINGS IS MCLEAN, IS THAT TOO LATE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, BUT CURRENTLY IT GOES TO, IT GOES TO TWO LANE ACTUALLY OPENED, HE GOES A FULL TWO LANE, A LITTLE FURTHER BACK.
IT ACTUALLY GOES TO A LANE AND A HALF ON EACH SIDE, AS IT GETS TO WHERE THE DIVIDED VIEW OF THE ESPLANADES FRONT ELLIS OVER THE STREET.
SO IF THERE WAS ANY
SO THE BOULEVARD SECTION IS WIDER AND IT IS ENOUGH.
THERE IS ENOUGH WIDTH FOR TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION.
HOWEVER, AS YOU CAN SEE IT NARROWS AS YOU GET TOWARDS THE SOUTH SOUTHERN PART OF MCLEAN.
SO IF THE TIA SHOWS THAT IT NEEDS TO BE AN ADDITIONAL LANE, AND THAT WILL BE GOOD.
MY SECOND QUESTION, GIVEN THIS IMAGE IN THIS, FOLLOWING THE SLAB, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME OF THIS PROPERTY THAT'S NOT DEVELOPED YET.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT YOU OWN GETTING THAT RIGHT? UH, ACTUALLY PART OF IT IN THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT WE ARE DEALING WITH JUST THAT FRONT SIDE THAT FACES WITH LANE, RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY OF HOUSTON, UH, WATER PLANT THAT THERE'S THERE.
WE ARE HOLDING THAT AS DETENTION, IF WE HAVE TO CREATE THE DETENTION FOR THE SITE.
SO I HAVE MORE LAND TO WORK WITH COMES.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT I WOULD LAY IT OUT DIFFERENTLY IF THAT WATER PLANT WASN'T UNDERSTOOD.
WHY DID YOU GUYS CHOOSE THIS SITE BECAUSE OF ITS PROXIMAL LOCATION TO THE OTHER SCHOOL, BUT IT WOULD BE FEEDING AND THE SIZE OF THE TRACK.
IT'S BIG ENOUGH TO GIVE US A REASONABLE SIZED PLOT OF LAND TO PUT IT ON AND GIVE US NICE BUFFERS TO THE CURB LINE
[00:40:01]
AND MAKE IT LOOK ATTRACT HOW MANY STUDENTS DO WOW.TOTALLY FULL, FULLY GROWN OUT.
DO ANY OF THE ANY OF THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT, MR. WEAVER? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS THIS SEASON.
I SAW THAT IT WAS POSTED, I GOT IT LAST NIGHT, SO I HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO AN ARCHITECT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WITH IT.
UM, BUT I DID REVIEW THE COMMENTS AND I WASN'T, THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM WITH ANY THEM.
I MEAN, UH, THE, THERE ARE A COUPLE THAT I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION ON, BUT THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS.
UM, I, I THINK I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH AND IT, IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME FOR ALL OF US TO GET IT LAID OUT.
WE'VE DEFINITELY TOUCHED ON THIS SINCE WE CAME BACK TO THIS, YOU'RE DEFINITELY DISAPPROVING YOUR PROPOSED
I WOULD, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT THE, THE PROPOSAL THAT WE PUT FORCE HAT HAD A DECORATIVE BROAD IRON, OR, YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE STYLE FENCING ON THE TWO FACING SITE WHERE WE HAD PUT THE CHAIN LINK WAS ON THE BACK TOWARDS THE WATER PLANT, EITHER ACROSS THE EASEMENT OR ALONG THE EASEMENT FOR THE WATER PLANT ON THAT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT WATER PLANT, WOULD IT BE THE BUILDINGS? NO, THERE IS A, WELL, IT'S QUITE A WAYS FROM WHERE THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING IS DESIGNED, BUT FROM THAT FAR PROPERTY LINE, IF THERE IS, I DON'T TEACH THE CRYSTAL HOTEL, WHICH IS A NEW DEVELOPMENT.
I MEAN, I THINK IT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
UM, I DO HAVE SOMEONE THAT HAS, UH, SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IN REGARDS TO THIS, UH, JEANETTE QUIMBY.
UM, WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE, I'M JANETTE QUIMBEE.
I LIVE AT 11 8 1 4 SOUTH WILLOWDALE CIRCLE, WHICH IS WITHIN FONDREN PARK.
SO I'M ONE OF THE RESIDENTS AND I'M NOT ONE WHO WAS ABLE TO DO A PROTEST BECAUSE I'M NOT WITHIN THE 200 FEET MALE OUT.
SO THE ONLY REASON WE FOUND OUT LAST NIGHT WAS ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS FOUND THIS.
SO I KNOW MY MINUTES ARE GOING TO START TICKING STUFF AT HER.
REGARDING THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY AS A RESIDENT THAT LIVES IN THAT AREA.
AND THAT DOES DRIVE THAT STREET, I WOULD HIGHLY ADVISE THAT THAT IMPACT STUDY BE MADE AND THAT RECOMMENDATION BE MADE BEFORE YOU APPROVE AN SUP PERMIT FOR A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IF THIS SCHOOL DOESN'T GET BUILT, WE DON'T FIND OURSELVES IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION WITH NOW, SOMEONE ELSE COMING IN FOR THAT SUV, I PRAISE YES ACADEMY.
THEY DO HAVE GREAT SCHOOLS IN THE CITY, BUT I'M ALSO, I'M ALSO A PARENT WHO USED TO TAKE HER CHILD TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
AND I'M ALSO A GRANDPARENT WHO TAKES HER TO HER GRANDSON SCHOOL.
THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF SCHOOLS THAT ARE SITUATED ON TWO LANE ROADS, WHICH IS WHAT THE PLANE IS.
I CAN SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE WITH GUARDING FORCE FOR ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS WITHIN FIVE MILES OF THIS SCHOOL.
THAT'S ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH DITCHES OR EASTMAN WHEN THEY DROP OFF.
AND WHEN THEY PICK UP THAT TRAFFIC BACKS UP CONSIDERABLE ROSE ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS LOCATED ON GUESTROOM BETWEEN THE BELTWAY AND WEST AIRPORT ALSO HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM.
AND THEY ALSO HAVE A DRIVEWAY DESIGNED TO BRING CARS BACK AROUND THE SCHOOL TO DO PICKUP AND DROP-OFF, BUT THAT TRAFFIC WILL BACK UP ON GESSNER GOING ONTO BELTWAY AS WELL AS INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE LITTLE BUSINESSES, CONDON ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS IN BEL AIR, THE MAIN DROP-OFF FOR SCHOOL BUSES AND FOR
[00:45:01]
THE OLDER ELEMENTARY KIDS IS ON SOUTH RICE, WHICH IS A FOUR LANE ROAD WITH AN ADDITIONAL LANE FOR BIKES AND PARKING IN BELARUS.THE SMALLER KIDS GET DROPPED OFF ON.
I WANT TO SAY IT'S THIRD STREET, WHICH IS A TWO LANE ROAD.
WE WILL BACK UP ONTO BELL BOULEVARD FOR PICKUP AND DROP OFF OF OUR CHILDREN FOR FISH ACADEMY, WHICH IS NEAR LEBRON ELEMENTARY IS ON FOUR LANES ON SOUTH PRICE AT BRAESWOOD.
AGAIN, THE TRAFFIC BACKUP AND NIGHTMARE TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY GOING FOR RUSH HOUR IS AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA.
THEY DREAD WHEN SCHOOL STARTS HARMONY SCIENCE ACADEMY AT CHIMNEY ROCK AND BRAESWOOD WAS ON FOUR LANES OF BRAESWOOD HAS A VERY SMALL DRIVEWAY, A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN WHAT THIS IS.
AND AGAIN, THE TRAFFIC BACK UP ALONG BRAYS, WHEN THIS HOMES ON RACEWAY IS A NIGHTMARE FOR PICKUP AND DROP OFF IMPACT.
ALSO THESE, THESE PICTURES DON'T GIVE YOU THE TRUE VISION OF WHAT PLAIN BOULEVARD IS.
BASED ON THIS DESIGN PLAN IS A TWO LANE BOULEVARD, TWO LANE STREET, STARTING FROM THAT NORTH ENTRANCE, GOING DOWN TO THE BELTWAY.
IT WIDENS A LITTLE BIT JUST BEFORE THAT YOU TURN ENTRANCE COMING OFF OF THE BELTWAY THEATER, BUT WHERE THEY'RE PUTTING THAT ENTRANCE ON THE NORTH SIDE, THERE'S TWO LANES WHERE THE GRASSY LITTLE DROP-OFF ON EACH SIDE, GOING BETWEEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, GOING TO THAT FIRST WAREHOUSING TRICKS.
IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF GRASS IMMEDIATELY, BUT IT IS STRICTLY TWO LANES.
SO PICTURE THIS WITH THAT FIRE DEPARTMENT OR WITH THE RESIDENTS OF US, DEPENDING ON HOW THEY'RE BACKING UP TRAFFIC FOR AFTERSCHOOL PICKUP, IT CAN WRAP AROUND THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL.
YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE PROBABLY 40 TO 50 CARS LINING UP ON THE CLAIM.
IS THAT DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY LIVE, THE ENTRANCE WILL THEN BACKUP TRAFFIC GOING INTO FONDER AND BARK WITH THE LITTLE STREETS AND AGAIN, WITH A NARROW LANE OR WE'LL HAVE BACKUP TRAFFIC COMING OFF OF BELTWAY, HEY, ON THE U-TURN OR ON THE FEET OF ROAD, THE ENTRANCE DESIGNED FOR THIS SCHOOL BASED AGAIN, PLEASE DRIVE BY.
THEY HAVE VERY FEW WATCH AND SAY, CAN'T REALLY PUT AN ENTRANCE GOING ON TO BELTWAY EIGHT FEEDER ROAD BECAUSE YOU'RE AT THAT INTERSECTION OF SOUTH MAIN HIGHWAY 90 AND THE BELTWAY.
SO YOU'RE COMING UP UNDER A DIP GOING NORTHBOUND ON THAT ROAD.
YOUR VISUAL USE ARE ALREADY LIMITED TO BEGIN WITH.
SO IMAGINE COMING UP FROM HIGHWAY 90 AND BELTWAY EIGHT COMING UP OFF THAT RAMP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE SLAM STOP BECAUSE YOU GOT BACKED UP WAITING TO DROP OFF OR PICK UP, UH, LOOKING AT 670 STUDENTS SINCE HE GAVE A NUMBER.
LET'S IMAGINE THAT 200 OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE IN THE DROP-OFF PICKUP AND THE REST ARE GOING TO BE BUSED 200 STUDENTS.
IF YOU HAVE SIBLINGS, WE'LL TAKE THAT CAR DOWN.
COUNT DOWN TO ABOUT 150 WRAP, 150 CARS AROUND THAT BUILDING, AS WELL AS THE SCHOOL BUSES THAT HE'S GOING TO STOP TRAFFIC AT ONE POINT AND LET ALL THE BUSES PARK AT THE SAME TIME.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH TRAFFIC ON BELTWAY EIGHT OR IN THAT FOND AND PARK SUBDIVISION? IF YOU LET 10 SCHOOL BUSES EXITED ONE TIME TRYING TO GET ONTO THE BELTWAY.
SO MY TIME'S UP, BUT PLEASED TO THE TRAFFIC IMPACT BECAUSE THE MORE YOU DO ANYTHING FURTHER WITH THIS DRIVE THAT STREET.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
UM, I DO HAVE TWO, UH, PROTEST LETTERS.
IS THERE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? IS THERE A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? OKAY.
IS THERE A MOTION TO CONSIDER A FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL? SO WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION I GUESS YOU COULD LOOK AT THE OTHER WAY TOO.
WE'RE ASSUMING TRAFFIC'S GOING TO BE HORRIBLE.
YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HAVE, UNTIL WE DO THE ANALYSIS COMES BACK
[00:50:01]
WHAT A TIA WILL DO IS CAPTURE THE BACKGROUND TRAFFIC.WHAT THE TRAFFIC IS OUT THERE TO ME, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS, YOU IT'LL PROJECT, WHAT ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC VOLUME WE CAN GENERATE.
SO THEY'LL THROW THOSE BOOKS TOGETHER AND SEE WHERE THE STACKING IS.
IF THAT STACKING IS GOING TO SPILL OVER INTO MCLEAN, SINCE THERE'S A FIRE STATION WILL BE BLOODY CLOSELY LOOKING AT THAT NUMBER.
NOW, TWO THINGS CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN IN A GAME WE'RE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
ONE IF THE LEVEL OF SERVICE DETERIORATES, AND THERE IS STACKING ON MCLEAN, WHICH IS GOING TO NEGATIVELY FEED THE FIRE STATION TRAFFIC OR ANY TRAFFIC STAFF WILL MAKE A NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION.
THE OTHER ONE IS THE, IT IS BECAUSE OF THAT DRIVING THAT'S ON MCLEAN THAT IS ALREADY ANOTHER EXISTING DRIVEWAY ON BELTWAY.
WE'LL POSSIBLY ASK THE APPLICANT TO LOOK INTO THAT LOCATION, TO SEE IF THAT'S A BETTER OPTION TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT THAT WE HAVE.
SO AGAIN, AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS GOING TO BE AN IMPACT.
ONLY THE TRAFFIC IMPACT IS GOING TO TELL US IF THERE IS AN IMPACT.
AND CERTAINLY STANFORD COMES WITH YOU COME TO YOU WITH A RECOMMENDATION, WHETHER TO APPROVE THE TRAFFIC, APPROVE THE PLAN BASED ON THE TRAFFIC IMPACT IT'S GENERATING OR NOT.
AND THEN YOU WILL MAKE THAT DECISION
HOW DOES THAT EFFECT, DOES IT REVERT BACK INDUSTRIAL? SO THE ZONING RUNS WITH THE LINK.
SO IF THE ZONING IS APPROVED, THEY STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT PERMITTING PROCESS.
SO THAT'S WHY THE PROCESS IS KIND OF DESIGNED TO TRY TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE, UM, SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE DETERMINATIONS AS TO THE ROUTE THAT THEY WANT TO TAKE, WHETHER IT'S COST PROHIBITIVE, WHETHER IT'S GOING TO TAKE AN INVESTMENT IN ORDER FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT TO BE ABLE TO BE CONSTRUCTED THERE.
SO, UM, TO THE POINT ON THE SVP, THE SVP, UM, WOULD ALLOW FOR THAT AS AN ADDITIONAL USE.
IN ADDITION TO THE INDUSTRIAL USES THAT ARE PERMITTED THERE.
IF YOU APPROVE A SITE PLAN AS PART OF THAT SUV AND NO FURTHER ACTION TAKES PLACE WITHIN A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD FROM THAT APPROVAL, THEN THAT SITE PLAN COULD EXPIRE WHEN THE SUP YOU CAN PUT AN EXPIRATION ON THE SUV, BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE PARAMETERS IN TERMS OF THE INVESTMENT NEED.
SO IF YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL USE WAS GOING TO PHASE OUT AT A PARTICULAR POINT, THEN YOU WOULD PUT AN EXPIRATION ON THE SCHOOL USE, BUT THE SVP IS JUST LOOKING AT THE SCHOOL USE AND THEN THE ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THAT SCHOOL, I GUESS
SOMEBODY ELSE COULD STILL COME IN AND TRY TO
CAUSE, UH, YOU KNOW, ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, THERE WAS A GROUP THAT HAD RECEIVED PERMANENT PLAN APPROVAL FOR OFFICE WAREHOUSERS.
AND SO THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS.
THE TRAFFIC PATTERN WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS GOOD IN TERMS OF THE PEAK HOURS.
UM, BASED ON, YOU KNOW, LIKE ANY USE ANY DEVELOPMENT THERE, IT'S STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THESE PROCESSES.
YEAH, I THINK THE CONNECTION WILL BE, SO THIS, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
SO THIS, THIS WOULD BE THE LANE USE IS A PLACE OF ASSEMBLY OF THE SIDES SUITABLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR, UM, WHERE IT'S ADJACENT TO NON-RESIDENTIAL USES OR RESIDENTIAL USES.
IS THAT A SUITABLE? AND THEN IS THERE ANY MITIGATION ON THAT DEVELOPMENT LAYOUT? UM, THE SITE DESIGN THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, AND THEN IF THAT'S APPROVED, THEN THE NEXT STEPS WILL BE PLANNING THAT THEN WE'LL CONSIDER TRAFFIC ISSUES, UTILITY ISSUES.
[00:55:01]
THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IS STILL CONCEPTIONAL, UM, WHERE IT STILL HAS TO GO THROUGH SOME OTHER ROUNDS OF INPUT, UM, BEFORE THEY KIND OF FINALIZE WHAT THAT LAYOUT IS.WELL, LET'S GET BACK TO BASICS THE SUP IT'S BEING PERMITTED OR QUESTIONED TO ALLOW PLACES TO SEND THAT RIGHT.
OTHER THAN THAT, WHETHER IT'S A SCHOOL, A MEGA CHURCH, YOU KNOW, A BIG DAYCARE, WHATEVER THOSE USES ARE ALL PROPER UNDER AN SVP.
WELL, THAT'S THE QUESTION TO THE COMMISSION.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT YOU CAN CONSIDER, UH, FROM THE COMMISSION, YOU CAN LOOK AT INGRESS WHEAT, GRASS, YOU CAN LOOK AT IT.
UM, YOU KNOW, OTHER SITE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES, LANDSCAPE SCREEN, UH, PEAK INTENSITY, YOU'LL GET INTO THE TECHNICAL PART LATER.
I TRY TO GET THE REST OF THE CONDITION.
UNDERSTANDING IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SUP AND WHERE ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW PLACE OF ASSEMBLY, WHETHER IT'S US PREP OR ANYTHING ELSE TO BE, TO GO HERE, OTHER THAN THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A WAREHOUSE OR SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOMETHING THAT'S THE BOTTOM OF MY QUESTION TO FOLLOW IS, IS MCLEAN ON THE THOROUGHFARE, WHICH IS WHAT YOU, WHAT YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION AGAIN.
CAUSE I COULDN'T HEAR YOU THEN BECAUSE THE CLAIM AND THE THOROUGHFARE, WHEN YOU MEAN COMMISSIONER ON THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN, THERE IS NO PLANS TO EXPAND IT OR SOMETHING.
BUT I MUST SAY THE COMMISSION THAT WE DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT TRUCK TRAFFIC ON EAST HAMPTON AND, UH, PUBLIC WORKS IN THE CITY MANAGEMENT IS LOOKING AT POSSIBLE MITIGATION MEASURES ON EAST HAMPTON.
SO THAT IS A PROJECT THAT OUR TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THAT'S IN THE WORKS AFTER WE ACQUIRED THE POTS PROPERTY AROUND THERE.
BUT SPECIFICALLY HERE THAT IS STILL PLANS TO IMPLEMENT CLINICAL.
WELL, THERE'S A POTENTIAL FOR THE CITY AND YES, PREP IN THE AREA TO TEAM, TO PRE MCLEAN, ULTIMATELY FOR TRUCK, IF THE TIA DICTATES, THEY HAVE TO DO SOME, ADD SOME ADDITIONAL TURN LANES OR LANE IMPROVEMENTS, THEN IT IS INCUMBENT UPON THE DEVELOPER TO DO THAT.
AND YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION WOULD IMPROVE.
WOULD THAT BE ON MCLEAN? I MEAN, CONSIDERING THE SIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS TWO LANES.
I MEAN, WHERE WOULD IT GO WITH THE EXPANSION GOAL RIGHT UP INSIDE THE CAR STATION, I MEAN IS NO ROOM TO Y RIGHT.
UH, YOU ASKED MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION COMMISSIONER, WE GOT TO WAIT FOR THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
AND MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION IS I DON'T THINK IT'LL COME BACK AND SAY, WHY DOES IT MAKE THE LANE TO FOUR LANES IT'LL POSSIBLY DO POTENTIALLY SAY, ADD A TURN LANE OR MAKE SOME TURN LANE IMPROVEMENTS.
THOSE HAVE KIND OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE CAN PLAY.
SO I'D LIKE TO PUT THE QUESTION QUESTIONS.
WELL, BEFORE WE PUT THE QUESTION GO HERE.
I WANT TO, WELL, I, WELL, I WANT TO, I WANT TO FLOAT THE IDEA OF A DIFFERENT TYPE OF EMOTION.
WE HEARD EARLY ON THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, WHICH IS VERY RARE, BUT WE CAN DO IT.
SO I'M GOING TO ASK FOR EMOTION THAT WE'VE REVIEWED THE TEA I ATE PRIOR TO DOING THE SUP CAN WE DO THAT? HOLD ON.
THERE'S TWO AS MR. BUT CHIME IN.
BUT I THINK, UH, THE T I CAVE, MY UNDERSTANDING OF TIA CAN BE REQUIRED AT ANY STAGE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND I'LL LET MR. WINTER CHAIRMAN, ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT TYPICALLY DONE THIS BODY COULD REQUEST TIA DONE BEFORE IT'S, BEFORE THE EIGHT VOTES ON THE, UH, ON THE SUP ON THE ZONE, ON THE ZONING.
UM, I LIKE TO COMMENT, I CAN'T HEAR EVERYBODY AT ONE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIGHT ABOUT, I'M JUST ASKING.
CAN WE FLOAT THE IDEA? SO AGAIN, I'M ASKING FOR A MOTION THAT WE BRING ON THE T I A FIRST, IS THERE A MOTION FOR THAT? I MOTION THAT WE BRING ON THE TEI FIRST.
IS THERE A SECOND? WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND ON THE FLOOR.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY RAISING YOUR HANDS, THE BACK SEAT, 1, 3, 4, AND FIVE, ALL THOSE AGAINST 1, 2, 3, AND FOUR.
[01:00:01]
SO THE MOTION WILL CARRY THAT.WE'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
UM, AND, AND I'M SORRY YOU CARRY, SO THAT, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
UM, WHERE ARE WE AT HERE? WHAT'S NEXT.
SO WHICH WAY DO WE GO NOW? YEAH, YEAH.
DO W WHY, WHY BE AFRAID TO DO SOMETHING NEW WAS FINE WITH THAT.
I JUST SAW DEMOCRACY IN ACTION NEARBY.
NO, LET ME COME ON, MR. QUINTON.
MY, MY COUNTERPARTS ARE MAD AT ME TONIGHT, BUT THEN THERE'LL BE OKAY.
WE'VE HAD FIGHTS BEFORE, AND PLEASE EVERYBODY, YOU COULD TABLE THIS, ARE YOU SURE? WILL THAT, WILL THAT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCK OR ANY OF THAT STUFF? I CAN'T HEAR YEAH, UNLESS WE'RE GOING TO WITHDRAW THAT MOTION.
I AGREE WITH THAT COMMISSIONER.
THAT'S THE MOTION GETS DRUNK OR MOVE ON.
WE DON'T NEED TO START SHOOTING TABLE.
TOO MANY OF US ARE TALKING AT ONE TIME AND IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FOLLOW ALL OF THE DIALOGUE.
SO A MOTION WAS MADE SECONDED AND IT PASSED FIVE, FOUR.
THE QUESTION WENT OVER TO COUNCIL AS TO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
AND ULTIMATELY THE ANSWER IS THAT WE NEED TO MOVE ON WITH THE AGENDA.
WE HAVEN'T, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
LET ME PUT MY GLASSES BACK ON.
IF THIS BODY HAS MOVED TO WAIT ON THE TIA THAT IN EFFECT TABLES, BECAUSE THEN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ACT UNTIL YOU GET THAT T I, IT WAS AS THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD THE MOTION.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
I AGREE WITH COUNSELOR ON THAT MOVE ON.
I AGREE WITH COUNSELING, USE A DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY.
[A. Massage Establishments]
ZONING, TEXT AMENDMENTS, MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS, PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS FOR OR AGAINST PROPOSED AMENDMENTS OF CITY, MISSOURI CITY ORDINANCE REGARDING MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT.READY TO TALK ABOUT SOME MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT.
SO THIS ITEM IS TO CONSIDER I FINAL REPORT ON THESE UNINDEXED AMENDMENT REGARDING THE MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS.
SO MISS FROM YOUR DOLL OF THE FORBIDDEN DA HUMAN TRAFFICKING TEAM PROPOSED TO ADOPT REGULATIONS TO PREVENT SEX TRAFFICKING AND THE COUNTY STAFF, AND THE COMMISSION HAVE BEEN, UM, KIND OF WORKSHOPPING HOW BEST TO IMPLEMENT THOSE REGULATIONS.
SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
SO FOR SECTION FOUR OF THE DEFINITIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE, WE WILL ADD DEFINITIONS, UM, TO INCLUDE MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT, MASSAGE THERAPIST, AND MASSAGE THERAPY.
AND THOSE DEFINITIONS WE'LL BE TAKING FROM CHAPTER 18 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES THAT WE ALREADY HAVE ESTABLISHED IN REGARDS TO MASSAGE ESTABLISHED ROOTS.
UM, AND THE SECOND AMENDMENT WILL BE TO SECTION SEVEN USE DISTRICTS.
AND THIS WOULD BE TO ADD MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT AS A PERMITTED USE BY RIGHT WITHIN THE LC TO LOCAL
[01:05:01]
RETAIL DISTRICT.UM, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT ANYBODY THAT WANTED TO DEVELOP A MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT WOULD NEED AT LEAST A ZONING OF AN LLC, TWO ARE HIRED TO BE ABLE TO BRING IN THEIR BUSINESS.
AND THEN SECTION NINE OF SUPPLEMENTARY DISTRICT REGULATIONS WILL BE AMENDED TO ADD REGULATIONS FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW.
SO THIS IS KIND OF WHERE ALL THE REGULATIONS THAT MOST PROVEN HAS, UM, PROPOSE WILL BE LOCATED.
SO WE WILL BE DOING A SITE PLAN REVIEW.
UM, THERE'LL BE AN APPLICATION REVIEW, APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS, REGULATIONS, AND AUTO REQUIREMENTS FOR PROHIBITED OPERATIONS, ZONING, COMPLIANCE, INSPECTIONS, AND FEES.
SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
UM, A PORTION OF IT WASN'T CHAPTER 18 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, BUT NOW WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT INTO THE ZONING ORDINANCE UNDER SECTION NINE.
AND SO BASICALLY WHAT THIS WILL DO IS, UM, INCLUDE A SITE PLAN REVIEW OF ANY MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT.
SO IF THEY'RE FOUND TO NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY OF THE REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE, AND SECTION NINE, THEN WE ARE ABLE TO SUSPEND OR REVOKE THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.
I SHOULDN'T, THIS IS PLEASE, PLEASE.
THIS IS FOR ALL NEW ESTABLISHMENTS, RIGHT? EXISTING ONES WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THESE GUIDELINES.
THIS WILL BE WORKING WITH NEW ESTABLISHMENTS.
I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE WELL, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE ASSISTED MASSAGE.
THIS WOULD NOT APPLY TO EXISTING.
IT'S JUST SO ANY, ANY AMENDMENT THAT CAN TAKE ZONING ORDINANCE, IT ONLY APPLIES TO MOVING FORWARD.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? NO.
AT THIS POINT, UM, ARE WE READY TO CONSIDER THIS A FINAL REPORT AND A RECOMMENDATION SO THAT WE CAN CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING? OH, I'M SORRY.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING, BUT WE ARE IN A PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN REGARDS TO THIS ITEM? SECOND, SECOND.
THANK YOU, MR. GRIFFIN, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
NOW I'M GOING TO ASK THAT WE CONSIDER A FINAL REPORT.
WE HAVE THE MOTION FROM MR. HANEY.
AND THE SECOND FROM, UM, MR. BRIGHTWELL, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE.
WELL, ARE THERE ANY NOTES THING? NONE OF THAT MOTION CARRIES.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE NOW TO ITEM 10.
[A. Infrastructure Design Manual Update]
UM, THIS IS OTHER MATTERS WITHIN OUR JURISDICTION FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN, MANUAL UPDATE, JEREMY.ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
UM, SO TONIGHT I'M GONNA BE DOING A PRESENTATION ON OUR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN MANUAL UPDATE.
SO PUBLIC WORKS HAS BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING OUR DESIGN MANUAL, UH, FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS OR SO.
AND, UH, THIS HAS COME FROM, UH, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE WATERSHED MASTER PLAN, AS WELL AS RECOMMENDATIONS FROM HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT AND JUST IN GENERAL, UH, VARIANCES OF, UH, DEALING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.
SO JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN MANUAL.
SO THIS IS THE MANUAL THAT, UH, THE ENGINEERING DIVISION IN PUBLIC WORKS USES TO ESTABLISH CRITERIA FROM WHICH ENGINEERS CAN DESIGN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN MISSOURI CITY.
UM, WE USE THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS SAFE OR RELIABLE.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE HAD A FEW PREVIOUS ITERATIONS AND UPDATES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1997 FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN MANUAL.
SO OUR MAJOR GOALS FOR THE 2021 DESIGN MANUAL UPDATE.
UH, SO WE WANTED TO INCORPORATE SOME CHANGES THAT STAFF AND THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY HAS NOTICED, UH, SINCE OUR PREVIOUS ITERATION, WHICH IS THE 2019 THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY OPERATING UNDER.
UH, ALSO WE WANTED TO UPDATE OUR DRAINAGE CRITERIA TO INCLUDE THE ATLAS 14 RAINFALL CRITERIA, WHICH WAS A RECOMMENDATION FOR A WATERSHED MASTER PLAN.
UH, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, AND WE ALSO WANTED TO UPDATE OUR, UH, CRITERIA TO THE HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL STANDARDS, THOUGH.
[01:10:01]
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CHANGES THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING THOUGH.UH, WE HAVE, UH, FIVE CHAPTERS THAT WE'RE DOING A MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES ON CHAPTER ONE.
THIS IS OUR INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER.
MOSTLY WE'RE JUST FIXING A LOT OF GRAMMATICAL ERRORS.
UH, CHAPTER SEVEN IS OUR, UH, DRAINAGE, UH, OUR DRAINAGE STANDARDS, WHICH, UH, THAT'S WHY I PUT THE RED THERE, BECAUSE I'M GONNA GO INTO MORE DETAIL ABOUT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
THAT'S PROBABLY THE MAJORITY OF OUR CHANGES ARE TO CHAPTER SEVEN, CHAPTER 12, THAT'S FOR OUR RIGHT OF WAY PERMITTING.
SO, UM, WE WANTED TO CLARIFY, UH, WHAT PUBLIC UTILITIES ARE.
AND THEN WE ALSO WANTED TO HAVE A PROVISION TAD SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING, WHICH IS SIMPLY, UH, A WAY FOR, UH, ENGINEERING ENGINEERS TO SEE WHAT THE UTILITIES LOOK LIKE UNDERNEATH THE GROUND.
UH, AND WE WANTED TO HAVE THAT AS AN OPTION FOR THE CITY.
SO WE CAN REQUEST THAT FROM DEVELOPERS AS THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR DEVELOPMENT PERMITS AT RIGHT AWAY, PERMITTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOT AS MANY CONFLICTS WHEN IT COMES TO DEVELOPING INFRASTRUCTURE.
ALSO IN CHAPTER 16, UH, WE WANTED TO ADD SIDEWALKS TO OUR GIS DATA REQUIREMENTS, UH, FOR PROJECT CLOSEOUTS.
UH, THIS WAS A SMALL ONE, BUT, UH, NOW THAT WE STARTED OUR SIDEWALK PROGRAM UP, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INFORMATION WAS ACCURATE.
SO WE ADDED, UH, ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT.
IT'S A CHAPTER 16 TO, FOR THE DEVELOPERS TO ADD SIDEWALKS INTO THEIR GIS DATA WHEN THEY SUBMIT IT TO THE CITY, MAKES IT EASIER FOR OUR GIS TEAM TO UPLOAD IT TO OUR MAPS.
AND THEN IN CHAPTER 17, THERE'S MULTIPLE ITEMS IN CHAPTER 17.
UM, BUT IN GENERAL, UH, WE WANTED TO CLARIFY SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS WHEN IT COMES TO MINIMUM SLAB, GRADES, OR RESIDENTIAL.
AND NON-RESIDENTIAL LOTS, UM, IN THE PAST THE DIVISION BETWEEN THE TWO ON THE REQUIREMENTS, WASN'T REALLY CLEAR, UH, IT WAS STATED IN THE CHAPTER, HOWEVER, THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN, THERE WAS A LOT OF LEEWAY FOR, UH, I GUESS, PEOPLE WHO WERE TRYING TO DEVELOP RESIDENTIAL VERSUS NON RESIDENTIAL LOTS, UH, TO DETERMINE WHAT THEIR MINIMUM SLASH.
SO, UM, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE MAJORITY OF THESE UPDATES ARE GOING TO TAKE PLACE IN CHAPTER SEVEN.
UM, SO OUR WATERSHED MASTER PLAN, I PRESENTED TO YOU ALL, UH, LATE LAST YEAR, WE ADOPTED IT IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR.
AND, UM, THE BIGGEST THING IS THAT WE WANTED TO UTILIZE THE ATLAS FALL TEAM ATLAS 14 RAINFALL CRITERIA, UH, UH, AS A PART OF NEW DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE CITY.
UH, ANOTHER THING WE DID WAS WE WERE LOOKING AT INCREASING THE REQUIRED MINIMUM HYDRAULIC GRADE LINE FOR STORM SEWERS FROM A THREE-YEAR EVENT STORM TO A FIVE-YEAR BEN STORM.
AND I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF GRAPHICS THAT WILL SHOW WHAT A HYDRAULIC GRADE LINE LOOKS LIKE.
UM, AND THEN ALSO WE WANTED TO MEET HARRIS COUNTY'S, UH, MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.
SO RIGHT NOW, UH, HARRIS COUNTY, THEY HAVE ADOPTED ATLAS 14, UH, RAINFALL CRITERIA, AND THEY CHANGED UP A LOT OF THEIR, UH, DRAINAGE STANDARDS, WHICH MAKES THE MORE STRINGENT AT FORT BEND COUNTY.
SINCE WE'RE IN BOTH COUNTIES, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, IT'S EVEN ACROSS THE BOARD, BUT WE USE THE MORE STRINGENT STANDARDS TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE HAVE A STRAWBERRY INFRASTRUCTURE THOUGH, JUST TO REAP OVERVIEW ABOUT THE SPORT TEAM.
UM, SO ALICE 14, IT'S SIMPLY A STUDY OF RAINFALL STATISTICS FOR TEXAS.
IT WAS RELEASED BY THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION OR NOAA IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, SIMPLY MEANS THAT, UH, IN THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA, WE'RE EXPECTING TO SEE MORE RAINFALL AND MORE FREQUENT RAINFALL, UH, BASED, UH, BASED ON STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN BEFORE.
SO FOR A TYPICAL HUNDRED YEAR RAINFALL EVENT, WE USED TO SEE 13.2 INCHES.
NOW IT'S INCREASED BY ABOUT 28% TO 16.9 INCHES.
AND THIS IS JUST A, UH, JUST A GRAPHIC SHOWING THE DIFFERENCE IN VOLUME ATTENTION THAT COULD BE REQUIRED FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
UM, WE REQUIRE A FOOT OF FREEBOARD, UH, ON TOP OF THE VOLUME THAT'S NEEDED BEFORE IT ATTENTION PAWN.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, FOUR, UH, DETENTION REQUIREMENTS OR GREATER DETENTION REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
SO THIS IS JUST A EXAMPLE OF A COMMON RAIN RAIN EVENT.
UM, I JUST, THIS IS SIMPLY JUST TO GIVE YOU ALL AN IDEA OF WHAT THE HYDRATED HYDRAULIC GRADE LINE MEANS, UM, RIGHT.
UH, TO YOUR RIGHT, LET'S SEE A LITTLE HOUSE.
I MEAN, THAT'S SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE ROAD, UH, BO UH, ROADSIDE, DITCHES STORMS. AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON A,
[01:15:01]
ON A TYPICAL RAINFALL A BIT, UM, STORM SEWER FILL UP, AND THEN IT WILL FLOW TO A LOCAL DITCH OR STREAM OR WHEREVER IT FLOWS TO, UH, AND THE STREETS WILL REMAIN PRETTY CLEAR AND YOU CAN STILL DRIVE THEM AS WELL.IF WE WERE LOOKING AT A MORE INTENSE EVENT IN THIS CASE, YOU SEE THE HYDRAULIC RAIN BRAID LINE IS HIGHER AND THERE'S FLOODING ON THE STREET BECAUSE THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE BASICALLY IS THIS LINE THAT CONNECTS THE WATER SURFACE ELEVATION OF THE DITCH TO WHAT'S ON THE STREET.
SO SIMPLY PUT THIS SHOULD, UH, HELP LOWER THE, UH, I GUESS, PREVENT STREET FLOODING BY RAISING OUR CRITERIA ON NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
SO THE NEXT STEPS ARE GOING TO BE, TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM, UH, THE COMMISSION.
UH, THEN WE CAN OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
AT THAT POINT, WE WOULD TAKE IT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF A NEW ORDINANCE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN MANUAL.
AND THEN AT THAT POINT WE COULD FORMALLY ADOPT THE NEW PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN.
MAY
HOW DID YOU GUYS DETERMINE THE CHANGE? SO THIS IS JUST A REPRESENTATION.
OH, IS THIS THE, OH, IS THAT THE ANSWER? YES.
BUT THEY SAID THAT IN 2000, RIGHT? YES.
WELL, YES, IT WAS RELEASED IN 2018, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, IT STILL TAKES TIME FOR US TO GO THROUGH THE INFORMATION, THEN MAKE A DETERMINATION ON HOW IT'S GOING TO IMPACT OUR CRITERIA.
OH, THAT GOES TO MY SECOND 2018.
IT IS NOW 20, 22 SOON TO BE MAKING A DIFFERENT CHOICE.
UM, IT'S NOT LIKELY THE PREVIOUS TRASHY.
I THINK JEREMY DID A GREAT JOB IN EXPLAINING ALL THIS MEANS IS POST HARVEY.
EVERY COMMUNITY IS BUILDING MORE RESILIENT STRUCTURES.
YOU KNOW, BRITTANY'S KIND OF WOKE UP THE COMMUNITY.
SO THE ORIGINAL CRITERIA WAS TO DESIGN FOR THE 13 INCH RAINFALL FALLING IN A PARTICULAR DURATION.
THAT MEANS LESS LAND AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT, MORE FOR DETENTION.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I DON'T FORESEE ANY OTHER MAJOR CHANGE LIKE THAT COMING ANYWHERE SOON, BUT NEVER KNOW WHAT MOTHER MAY THERESE ON STORE FOR US.
BUT, UH, THIS WAS INFORMATION WAS LEASED BY THE, UH, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN 2018.
A LOT OF AGENCIES THAT ARE ADOPTING, AS JEREMY SAID, FORT BEND COUNTY HAS NOT ADOPTED YET AT ITS COUNTY HAS.
AND THEY'RE MANDATING THAT WE ADOPT THE CRITERIA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE HARRIS COUNTY.
OPEN COUNTY HAS ISSUED INTERIM GUIDELINES, BUT THEY'RE NOT FORMALLY ADOPTED, BUT DURING THE PROCESS, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE POOP QUITE TEDIOUS FOR TWO SITES OF THE CITY.
AND WE WANT TO USE THE SAME CRITERIA.
THAT'S 24 HOUR RAINFALL, RIGHT? YES.
AND YOUR NEXT SLIDE IS THAT ONE HOUR DO THE FIVE, UH, OR THESE ARE JUST A, THE TWO YEAR NOW GOING TO FIVE YEARS, ONE HOUR.
UM, YEAH, SO THESE ARE JUST A GRAPHICS I'VE PULLED ONLINE JUST TO SHOW WHAT A HYDRAULIC GRADE LINE LOOKS LIKE.
OH, THIS ISN'T MEANT TO BE A REPRESENTATION OF OUR STANDARDS.
YES, ARE WE GOING TO CONSIDER THIS A FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS? IS THERE A SECOND? I HAVE A MOTION BY HANEY AND A SECOND BY LUCAS.
AS WELL, OR ARE THERE ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.
WE HAVE NO OTHER BUSINESS BEFORE CURFEW.
[01:20:01]
THAT WE ADJOURN? I STILL MOVE.THANK YOU, MS. OVERTON, IS THERE A SECOND?
