THE 23RD DAY OF JUNE, 2022 AT 7:00 PM FROM THE CITY HALL TO DEPLETE THE TORY COUNTY, TEXAS LOCATED AT 1 0 8 EAST MAIN STREET FLUTE, TEXAS.
THIS JOINT PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE AVAILABLE BOTH IN PERSON TO BE A TELEPHONE VIDEO CONFERENCE.
THE MEETING LINK HAS BEEN POSTED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE AT WWW DOT FLUTE, TEXAS.GOV.
AT WHICH TIME IT PLAYS THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION.
THE CITY WILL CONSIDER THE QUESTION OF GRANTING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY LINE AND SITUATED WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY LEGAL DESCRIPTION.
WHAT'S YOUR MARKETPLACE SD A 0 0 6 8
[00:05:02]

ON THE DAY OF THE PUBLIC AREA, ALL MAIL SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE CITY MANAGER.
1 0 8 IS MAIN STREET CLUTE, TEXAS 7 7 5 3 1.
IF WRITTEN PROTEST IS FILED AGAINST ANY CHANGE SIGNED BY THE OWNERS OF 20% OR MORE EITHER OF THE AREA OF LOTS OR LAND INCLUDED SUCH PROPOSED CHANGE OR THE LOTS OR LAND IMMEDIATELY, I JOINED IN THE SAME AND EXTENDING 200 FEET THERE FROM NO AMENDMENTS, YOU HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE EXCEPT BY THE FAVORABLE BOW TO THREE FOURTHS OF ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL SIGNED BY ROADS APPOINTED CLERK.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO NOTE THE PUBLISHER'S AFFIDAVIT AND IT WAS PUBLISHED IN NEBRASKA FOR FIVE ON THE SECOND DAY OF JUNE, 2022.
UH, THE NEXT ITEM IS NOTE THE LIST OF PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFIED BY MAIL.
THERE WERE TWO MAILINGS SENT OUT, NONE RETURNED, SO I PRESUME THEY WERE ALL DELIVERED.
NEXT ITEM IS TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
FIRST ITEM IS TO READ LETTER FROM THOSE OPPOSE.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE PRESENT THAT IS IN FAVOR OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
MY NAME IS LESLIE FORD AND MY ADDRESS IS 400 CANYON CREEK TRAIL FORT WORTH, TEXAS 76,001 TWO.
I'M HERE IN FAVOR OF THE TIDAL WAVE AUTO SPOT.
AND I'M HERE ACTUALLY REPRESENTING THE DEVELOPER.
WHO'S PURCHASING THE PROPERTY.
WHO'S GOING TO PUT THE TITLE INTO YOUR TOWN.
SO I HAVE PREPARED A SMALL PRESENTATION.
I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN SEE IT THERE JUST TO KIND OF HELP YOU GET SOME COLOR AROUND WHAT THE TIDAL WAVE IS GOING TO BRING TO TOWN.
SO IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD WITH ME, YOU CAN.
SO, UM, THE SITE LOCATION SHOWS JUST WALK THERE.
UM, SO WE'RE ACTUALLY BRINGING THIS TO, UH, AS IT SAYS, OYSTER DRIVE IN DIXIE CREEK.
AND I WANTED TO TELL YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TIDAL WAVE.
SO TIDAL WAVE IS AN INCREDIBLE TENANT.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE ADDITION TO YOUR CITY.
SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT KIND OF CARWASH THEY USE HIGH-END FINISHES.
THEY HAVE INCREDIBLE LANDSCAPING.
THEY HAVE GOT THE, UH, THE AESTHETIC OF SOMETHING.
THAT'S GOING TO BRING SOME PRIDE IN THE CITY.
IT'S NOT JUST ANOTHER CARWASH.
IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY, OH, WHY DID THEY LET THEM COME HERE? THE CONCEPT WAS ACTUALLY ENGINEERED AND CREATED BY SOMEONE WHO HAD ENGINEERING IN MIND.
SO HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT HE WAS CREATING A CONCEPT THAT WAS GOING TO NOT ONLY BEAUTIFY THE CITY THAT IT'S COMING TO, BUT ALSO MAKE SURE THE WATER RECLAMATION WORKS WELL.
MAKE SURE THE DRAINAGE WORKS WELL.
ONE OF THE THINGS I THOUGHT WAS SO INTERESTING WHENEVER I WAS READING ABOUT THE CONCEPT IS THAT IF YOU WERE TO WASH YOUR CAR, USING THE TIDAL WAVE CARWASH, YOU'RE ACTUALLY USING LESS WATER THAN IF YOU'RE WASHING IT IN YOUR DRIVEWAY WITH YOUR WATER HOSE.
AND SINCE SO MUCH OF THE WATER IS RECLAIMED, IT'S SUCH A GREAT WAY FOR YOU TO GIVE BACK TO THE ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT ACTUALLY HAVING TO DO IT YOURSELF.
SO YOU GET TO DRIVE TO THE TUNNEL.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT TIDAL WAVE IS MOST CONCERNED WITH, JUST LIKE I SAID ABOUT THE STAFF IS BUILDING COMMUNITY.
SO THIS TITLE WE HAVE CAR WASH WILL BRING GOOD JOBS TO THE CITY.
UM, THEY'RE ACTUALLY GREAT JOBS FOR PEOPLE WHO POTENTIALLY ARE GOING TO SCHOOL.
THE HOURS ARE EIGHT TO EIGHT AND THE CARWASH IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS STAFFED.
SO THERE'S NOT THE WHERE YOU DRIVE UP.
AND YOU'RE LIKE, MAN, THERE'S REALLY NO ONE HERE TO TAKE MY MONEY.
THERE'S NO ONE HERE RINSE MY CAR.
SO THEY ARE ALWAYS ON STAFF AND THEY HAVE GREAT CONSISTENT HOURS AND THEY WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE JOBS THAT THEY'RE BRINGING TO THE CITY ARE QUALITY.
SO ONE THING THAT ALSO WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE TO ME ABOUT TIDAL WAVE SPECIFICALLY AS A COMPANY, WAS THAT IN THEIR MISSION TO BUILD COMMUNITY, THEY ALSO EVERY YEAR GIVE BACK TO A LOCAL NONPROFIT.
SO ON THE THIRD FRIDAY OF SEPTEMBER, EACH LOCATION DONATES A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALES TO A LOCAL NONPROFIT.
AND I THINK THAT'S SUCH AN INCREDIBLE WAY TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY.
THEY'RE NOT JUST ANOTHER, ANOTHER DEVELOPER COMING IN AND BRINGING YOU SOMETHING THAT'S NOT GOING TO ADD TO YOUR CITY.
SO SPECIFICALLY ABOUT OUR SITE, UM, SINCE WE'VE BEEN TO P AND Z, WE HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES AND THOSE WERE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE BEING COMPLIANT WITH THE, UM, WHICH HAD THE WOOD CREEK, SORRY, PUD.
SO WE FOUND THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE GREEN SPACE IN FRONT OF THE CARWASH, WHICH WE DID.
WE MET, WE MET THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND WE ADDED IN LANDSCAPING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE COMPLIANT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT.
[00:10:01]
MATCHED THAT.SO NOW YOU'LL SEE THAT THE CARWASH HAS STEPPED BACK A LITTLE BIT AND WE RETAINED THAT GREEN SPACE IN FRONT.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE ATTRACTIVE FROM THE, FROM THE STREET.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT, OKAY, WE'VE KILLED YOUR SIDEWALK.
WE'RE NOT BEING GREAT TENANTS OR LANDSCAPING.
EVERYTHING HERE IS COMPLIANT WITH THE PUD.
AND SO THE NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW US THE DRAINAGE PLAN.
THAT WAS ALSO A CONCERN DURING P AND Z.
SO WE MADE SURE THAT THE DRAINAGE SHEET FLOW, IT TAKES CARE OF ITSELF.
IT'S DEFINITELY, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS DESIGN, SOMETHING THAT IS NOT GOING TO CAUSE ANY ISSUES IN THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES WON'T CAUSE ANY ISSUES, NEIGHBORHOOD OR WITH KROGER.
SO WE'VE MADE SURE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT CAME UP, JUST AS QUESTIONS DURING P AND Z.
THESE ARE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND FINISHES.
I INCLUDED THEM TODAY, JUST SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE INDEED USING HIGH-END FINISHES, WE'VE GOT GOOD STONE AND THE METAL IS GOING TO BE ATTRACTIVE.
WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT EVEN DOING THE BRAND COLORS.
WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME REALLY GREAT EARTH TONES HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S BRINGING SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY ATTRACTIVE TO THE CITY.
SO IT'S NOT AN EYESORE, IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO STICK OUT.
AND I THINK THE NEIGHBORS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD IT'S GOING INTO, THEY'RE REALLY GOING TO ENJOY JUST THAT ADDITION OF THE PROPERTY.
AND THE LAST SLIDE HERE IS JUST AN EXHIBIT RENDER.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER PROJECT, BUT IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO YOU GUYS AS DESIGN.
SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST SEE IT JUST BECAUSE I PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE THE PICTURES ARE A LOT BETTER THAN JUST THE OLD, YOU KNOW, 2D RENDERING.
AND SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF AN IDEA OF WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE.
UM, SINCE WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN CALIFORNIA WHERE THIS WILL WAS, WE PROBABLY WON'T PUT ANY PALM TREES, BUT IF YOU WANT SOMETHING, MAYBE WE CAN WORK THAT OUT.
SO I WELCOME ANY QUESTIONS FROM YOU GUYS.
ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WITH ANYONE, THIS IS A CITY CITIZENS, AND IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US, WE WELCOME THOSE.
SO DOES THE, AM I ALLOWED, AM I SUPPOSED TO ACCOUNT? SORRY, I'M SOBER TO METHOD.
SO IS IT KIND OF LIKE AN ASSEMBLY LINE WHERE YOU'D LIKE MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE IS IN THERE AT A TIME? IT'S NOT ONE CARD THEY GET DONE.
IT'S LIKE A, JUST A ASSEMBLY LINE, CONVEYOR BELT SYSTEM WHERE YOU CAN GET ON.
AND THEN THERE'S USUALLY A HANDFUL OF CARS IN THE SYSTEM OR IN THE ACTUAL CARWASH.
AND THEN THERE'S A STACK BEHIND, LIKE, LET'S SAY YOU'RE REALLY BUSY, WHICH WOULD BE OUR DREAM.
THEN THERE WOULD BE TWO OR THREE CARS ACTIVELY IN AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE THE LINE BEHIND.
DO YOU STAY IN YOUR CAR? OKAY.
WHERE DOES IT, WHERE IS IT ACTUALLY GOING TO BE AT? WHERE IS THE SPOT? WHERE THE LOWER GROUND.
AND SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO RAISE A LITTLE BIT JUST TO KEEP WITH THE GRADING AND THE DRAINAGE THAT WE NEED.
SO THERE'S SOME RAISING UP THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT IT'LL BE ABOUT 40 FEET SETBACK.
AND THEN IT'LL BE IN THAT EMPTY SPACE.
THAT'S LOWERED DOWN, BUT WE'RE BRINGING IT UP CONSIDERABLY JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SHEET FLOW WORKS.
AND THERE'S NO ENTRANCE OR EXIT THAT GOES DIXIE DRIVE OR ON OYSTER CREEK.
IT'S ALL INSIDE THE PARKING LOT.
I'VE SEEN A COUPLE OF ANY BROAD.
SO WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING THIS ONE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES IN THIS SPECIFIC AREA, SO IT WILL BE NICE TO HAVE IT HERE.
AND IF WE HAD ANY, I WASN'T SURE.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU? CHECK IF WE HAD ANY OPPOSITION OR ANY LETTERS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? ALL GOOD.
THE NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO HEAR FROM THOSE OPPOSED TO THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
FIRST ITEM IS READ LETTERS FROM CITIZENS POSE.
DID HE WANT TO CHAMBERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT? GARY? NOW WE WILL HEAR A COMMENT FROM PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
I PUT IT OUT ON WHICH HORSE FACEBOOK AND GOT A VERY POSITIVE RESPONSE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HIT MY EYES IS THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT THEY'RE GOING TO RECYCLE.
EVERY USE IS GOING TO BE AN ECO-FRIENDLY PLACE ON TOP OF THIS, RIGHT? WE WILL CLOSE DISCUSSION THAT HERE.
RECOMMENDATION FROM PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE, UH, SAID CARWASH COUNCIL MOTION.
AND SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
ANY OPPOSED MAYOR, UH, PNC RECOMMENDS THAT THE CAR WASH NEXT ITEM WOULD BE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION FROM CITY COUNCIL
[00:15:01]
TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION THAT THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE TIDAL WAVE CARWASH AT DIXIE AND ARCS CREEK BE APPROVED, MOVED BY COUNCILMAN GRIFF.WE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND DISCUSSION HEARING.
NONE I'LL ENTERTAIN A VOTE ALL IN FAVOR.

THIS JOINT PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE AVAILABLE BOTH IN PERSON AND VIA TELEPHONE VIDEO CONFERENCE.
THE MEETING LINK HAD BEEN POSTED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE AT WWW PLUTON, TEXAS.GOV.
AT WHICH TIME IT PLAYS THE COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING ON THE COMMISSIONER.
SINCE IF YOU WILL CONSIDER THE QUESTION OF
[00:25:01]
REZONING TO PRESCRIBE REAL PROPERTIES, LAND IS SITUATED WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF SAID CITY TOO.WITH THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS EASY.
0 0 66 J E GROWTH TRACK 5 6, 8 2 THROUGH FIVE SIX M ACRES 20.366 FOOT ADDRESS ADDRESS IS COTTAGE PARK FOR STAYS, COMMERCIAL RESERVE PLUTO, TEXAS 7 75 31.

THERE WERE 61 NOTICES MAILED OUT NONE.
SO WE PRESUMED THAT THEY WERE ALL DELIBERATE.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE REZONE.
AND THE FIRST ITEM IS TO READ LETTER FROM THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE REZONE WELL, THAT BEING SAID, I HAVE 1, 2, 3, OR A SIX.
I HAVE AN A AND THEN, WELL, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18 LETTER FROM DIFFERENT RESIDENTS IN THE SUBDIVISION THAT ARE IN FAVOR OF THE REZONING OF THE PROPERTY.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO HEAR FROM IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO READ THEM.
THEY'RE THEY'RE HERE FOR, FOR, FOR YOU TO READ, UH, DECKED DATA WILL BE HERE FROM THOSE PRESENT IN FAVOR OF THE REASON UM, KEVIN ROSE AND CALLED COLUMBINE.
AND, UH, WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS Y'ALL HAVE ABOUT THE REZONING FOR GOING TO COLLEGE.
DO YOU WANT TO KIND OF RUN THROUGH YOUR SLIDE, KIND OF PLAY WHAT YEAH.
TO KIND OF GIVE YOU THE SAME IDEA THAT WE GAVE PLANNING AND ZONING.
UM, WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON IS AN OPEN AIR CONCEPT.
UM, IF Y'ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF OUR OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS, NOW THEY INCLUDE BRIAN'S BARBECUE, THE FILL STATION IN BODEGA, IN DOWNTOWN LAKE JACKSON, WE'RE TRYING TO, UM, KIND OF MOVE SOME OF OUR OPERATIONS BACK INTO KLUTE AS WE'VE EXPANDED TO IN LAKE JACKSON.
AND WE STARTED IT WITH BRIAN'S.
AND SO, UM, WE KIND OF PICKED OUT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IS GOING ON A YEAR NOW AND HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER, UM, KIND OF PUT PLANS TOGETHER TO PUT TOGETHER WITHOUT CONSIDERING AGAIN, A BIG OPEN AIR CONCEPT WITH DINING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
[00:30:11]
I THINK IT WOULDN'T LOOK BLACK AND IT IS THERE'S A COUPLE OF, WE WERE ASKED TO PROVIDE SOME EXPIRATION.I SAY IT WOULD BE PATIO SPACE, AS WELL AS DINING INSIDE SPACE, BIG FOCUS ON THE OUTDOOR SPACE STUFF.
UM, ALONG WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR RESTAURANT IS JUST A PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
UH, OUTSIDE OF THAT WITH THE DEVELOPER, WE'VE ALSO WORKED ON, UM, A LARGE GREEN SPACE.
I KNOW THAT, UH, THERE'S, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPRESSED DESIRE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF A GREEN SPACE OR, UM, HARP.
AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW, ROSIE, IF YOU HAVE THE PLANS THAT WERE SUBMITTED, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS EMAILED OVER, BUT IN THOSE PLANS, THERE'S A LARGE SECTION THAT'S RIGHT IN THE DEAD CENTER OF SAY PROBABLY A THIRD OF THAT PROPERTY THAT ENDS UP BEING A GREEN SPACE.
WITH THAT SYNDROME, WHICH BUILDING WE HAVE AGAINST THE TRACK IS CLOSEST TO THE RAILROAD.
THE OTHER ONE, YOU ALL KNOW, AS FAR AS THAT WOULD JUST PUT OUT THERE AS PHASE ONE WOULD BE RIGHT IN THAT MIDDLE TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS, THAT PARK AREA, EVERYTHING TO THE TRASH, TO THE, I GUESS THE SIDE OR FOR OUR PLANES, OR TO BUILD THAT OUT TO THEM.
ONCE WE GET THE RESTAURANT ESTABLISHED, EVERYTHING ESTABLISHED THERE HAVE A KIND OF CITY HALL MEETING WITH THE RESIDENTS AND EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE IN LINE WITH EVERYBODY ON THE REST OF THE, SO THE REST OF THESE BUILDINGS ARE JUST RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW, IF WE WERE LOOKING AT, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLY DOING SOME RETAIL, UM, NOW THAT RETAIL IS LIMITED BECAUSE AGAIN, GOING BACK ON THIS PROCESS, WE STARTED WITH THE COLLEGE AND THE COLLEGE HAD A DEED RESTRICTION.
IF Y'ALL ARE FAMILIAR, THE DEED RESTRICTION WAS REMOVED, UM, BY OUR WEST.
NOW WITH THAT RESTRICTION, THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS OF WHAT BUSINESSES CAN GO IN THERE.
UM, THAT'S AN ONGOING PROCESS WITH THE COLLEGE THAT THEY'RE STILL WRITING, BUT WHENEVER WE RECEIVED THEIR APPROVAL, IT WAS WITH RESTRICTIONS INVOLVED IN WHAT WE CAN PUT IN PLACE THERE.
BUT WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT WAS PUTTING THE RESTAURANT RETAIL SPACE AND THEN POSSIBLY IN THE FUTURE, ANOTHER RESTAURANT INTO THE SAME SPACE.
IF YOU LOOK AT IT, THE FAR SIDE OF WHAT WE HAD STARTED WITH WOULD BE POSSIBLY A SECOND RESTAURANT.
AND AGAIN, THAT'S, AS KEVIN WAS SAYING, THAT'S PHASES.
UM, WE KNOW HOW THESE DEVELOPMENTS WORK AND THAT COULD BE PHASE ONE, TWO AND THREE.
THAT COULD BE PHASES ONE THROUGH FIVE.
UM, IT COULD BE A FIVE-YEAR DEVELOPMENT COULD BE A TENURED DEAL.
SO, AND RIGHT NOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT, IN OTHER WORDS, ALL COMING OFF OF A CORRECT, I MEAN, NOT A BREAK OVER THERE, SO YOU CAN GO ACROSS TO THEM.
UM, WELL I WAS DRIVING, WE WERE APPROVED FOR A BREAK IN COLLEGE DRIVE, AS WELL AS THE MEDIUM IN THE MAINTENANCE TRYING TO GET.
SO ALL, ALL TRAFFIC WOULD BE ALLOWED TO EXIT FROM THIS PROPERTY EXIT ONTO COLLEGE DRIVE LEFT OR RIGHT.
IS THERE GOING TO BE AN ENTRANCE FROM COLLEGE PARK SUBDIVISION? NO, NO.
WE TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLY PUTTING A GARDEN, A GOLF CART PATH OR A WALK PATH FOR RESIDENTS, BUT THAT WOULD BE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE RESIDENTS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
WHAT KIND OF BUSINESSES WHERE THEY, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE DEED RESTRICTION THING OF THE, UH, THE COLLEGE, LIKE WHAT KIND OF BUSINESSES CAN YOU NOT HAVE, I GUESS, TALKED ABOUT ADULT ADULT SHOPS.
I MEAN, THAT EVERYTHING THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT THE COLLEGE TO HAVE AS A NEIGHBOR IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT THEY DO NOT WANT AS A NEIGHBOR.
WE WOULD, WE WOULD PUT THOSE KIND OF RESTRICTIONS ON IT AS WELL.
I THINK THE COLLEGES MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE STRICTER THAN WHAT KIND OF LIGHT AND SIGNAGE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE UP THERE.
UH, SIGNAGE, IF THERE IS ANY SIGNAGE ON THE BUILDING, IT'D BE UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE CANOPY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE NONE OF OUR OTHER RESTAURANTS THAT THEY'VE EITHER, I GUESS WHAT DAVID'S KIND OUT THERE THAT WILL BE SEEN BY THE RESIDENTS OR, AND WHAT ABOUT THE LIGHTING? UM, ANY OUTSIDE EILEEN MAKING SURE WE HAVEN'T DONE A GO STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND.
[00:35:01]
OF THAT WOULD BE, IT'S NOT LIKE STADIUM LIGHTING OR SOMETHING WHERE IT'S ON A 60 FOOT POLE OR SOMETHING.AND THEN THERE'S ALSO PLANS IN THAT, IN THAT, UH, IN THE PLANS THERE'S, WE'VE DEVELOPED A SPACE FOR HEDGES AS WELL.
AND SO THERE WOULD BE SOME TYPE OF BARRIER BETWEEN ANY OF THE BUSINESSES AND ANY OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.
IS THAT THE, THE ONE THAT'S 20 FEET? THAT'S IT? IT'S PROBABLY JUST THAT'S, WHAT'S WRITTEN OUT THERE, BUT WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT WHY DOING THAT, MAKING SURE THAT IT DOES EVERYTHING KIND OF LIKE ADD, UH, WHAT SHORE, WHEN YOU GO AROUND THOSE BIG, TALL GREEN EDGES THAT ARE BIG DNC THROUGH, IT'D BE PROBABLY AS BUS.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.
WE, I THINK I HAD READ THAT THE GREEN SPACE BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT IN COLLEGE PARK HAD BEEN WIDENED, CORRECT? IT IS CORRECT.
THAT'S MR. KIRK, UH, HE'S NOT HERE THIS EVENING.
I'D AGREE THAT WE WOULD WIDEN THAT SPACE TO GIVE A GREATER BUFFER TO THE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SECTIONS.
UH, WE'VE ALSO DISCUSSED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DESIGN STANDARDS, UH, RELATED TO THE BUILDING AND THEN PLACING, PUTTING TOGETHER A MECHANISM, POTENTIALLY A SPECIAL DISTRICT AND GOVERN WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE OVER TIME.
SO AS THEIR CONCEPT MAY COME AND GO, THE BUILDINGS ARE KEPT UP AND THE PROPERTY IS KEPT TO A CERTAIN STANDARDS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU WOULD FIND IN LIKE THE WOODLANDS OR SUGARLAND, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THE, UH, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT HERE IS, IS IT GOING TO BE CLEAR, CUT, NO TREES LEFT IN THERE AND WHATEVER, UM, MOST LIKELY TO BE PRETTY CLEAR IN THE MIDDLE, UH, THERE WILL BE TREES PLANTED THAT WE DON'T WANT IT.
YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU DRIVE IT AT AROUND THREE CONCRETE PARKING LOT, YOU'RE GOING TO DIE.
YOU'D BE LEFT WITH THE HEADACHE.
SO THEY WOULD TAKE OUT AND WE'LL BE ADDING BULLYING'S BACK THEN IN THAT BUFFER ZONE CAN Y'ALL LEAVE SOME OF, CAUSE I KNOW I WENT OVER AND LOOKED AT IT.
I MEAN, COULD THAT BE LEFT THERE IN BETWEEN THE OKAY.
CAUSE I KNOW THAT WORKS FOR LIGHTING AND THE NOISE AND EVERYTHING.
I COME IN WITH A QUESTION IT MAY BE OVERSTEPPING.
SO YOU ALL HERE, AS FAR AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENTIRE PROPERTY ARE Y'ALL OUT HERE WITH THE RESTAURANT.
OBVIOUSLY I KNOW THAT'S THE THING, THE RESTAURANT, BUT WE WILL BE INVOLVED IN THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
UH, ONE THING, UH, I KNOW YOU SAID THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME RESTRICTIONS FROM THE COLLEGE AND MAYBE EVEN SOME RESTRICTIONS FROM COUNCIL.
UM, BUT YOU GUYS, I GUESS YOU GUYS MUST HAVE A VISION OF WHAT YOU WOULD WANT TO SEE IN THE DEVELOPMENT.
IS THERE, YOU KNOW, BESIDES THE RESTAURANT AND MAYBE YOU WERE IN THE FUTURE RESTAURANT, IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAYBE LIKE OFFICE SPACE OR THINGS LIKE THAT? I MEAN, WE KICKED AROUND THE IDEA OF ALL THE SPACE AT ONE POINT, LIKE A SHARED WORKSPACE DAILY RENTAL OFFICE SPACE WHERE COME AND GO, ESPECIALLY THAT COULD BE USED WITH THE COLLEGE, COLLEGE STUDENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UH, COFFEE SHOP, RETAIL, BOUTIQUES, UM, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
IT'S REALLY THE DIVISION THAT I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT NOISE.
AND IS THERE, IS THERE ANY NOISE, DETERRENCE OR ANYTHING THAT, UH, WE'RE FACING, EVERYTHING WILL BE FACED AWAY FROM RESIDENTS OR THEY'LL BE FACING TOWARDS THE, UH, THE INTERSECTION RIGHT THERE.
UH, HOW TALL ARE THE BUILDINGS GOING TO BE? LIKE JUST WRITING A ONE STORY, TWO STORY, THOSE PICTURES ARE GOOD REPRESENTATIONS OF THE HEIGHTS AND EVERYTHING.
UM, EVERYTHING WOULD BE THAT WAY.
ERIC OF OPERATIONS WOULD DEFINITELY BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
OBVIOUSLY THROW NO NOISE, NO LIGHT, NOT NOISE.
I WOULD WANT TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY KIND OF LIKE SECURITY? NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SECURITY GUARD, BUT LIKE ANY KIND OF CAMERA MONITORING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT OR ANY CRIMINAL STUFF COMING AROUND OR WHATEVER, AS FAR AS THE BUSINESS GO.
I MEAN, ALL OF THEM, UH, CAMERAS, UH, SECURITY FOOTAGE, AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL TALK ABOUT FOR THE PARKING LOT AND THE GREEN SPACE, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE SHARED SPACE BY ALL TENANTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
UM, THAT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE LIKE A SHARED COST, UH, FOR TENANTS WHEN THEY MOVE IN, IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING WITH IT.
AND THAT'S POSSIBLY SECURITY AS WELL AS IN YOUR OTHER TWO RESTAURANTS LOCALLY, I KNOW THAT THEY ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAYS.
IS THAT SOMETHING Y'ALL ARE CONSIDERING FOR THIS ONE? OR ARE YOU STILL UP IN THE AIR ABOUT THAT ONE? OKAY.
[00:40:01]
THE BUILDINGS, THE PARK THAT WOULD FACE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WOULD THERE BE ANY KIND OF LIGHTING BAD? I DON'T KNOW.HOW IS IT JUST LIKE ONE LANE ALLEYWAYS? I, WHAT IT IS LIKE WHAT YOU CONSIDER CALL IT WALL PACKS ON THE OUTSIDE.
AND THEN BECAUSE THERE, THERE WILL BE ENOUGH SPACE TO DRIVE BEHIND THOSE BUILDINGS AND FOR DELIVERIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, BUT YES, I WOULD SAY ALL OF THAT WOULD BE SPLIT UP THAT NIGHT.
AND WOULD DELIVERIES BE LIMITED TO CERTAIN TIMEFRAME WHERE THE DUMPSTER IS GOING TO BE, DO Y'ALL HAVE LIKE A, IS EACH, EACH INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS HAVE THEIR OWN DUMPSTER OR WILL THERE BE LIKE A COMMUNITY SPOT WHERE ALL THE DUMPSTERS ARE? I CAN'T REALLY ANSWER FOR THE NEXT DAY.
THERE'LL BE A COMMUNITY ON THE NEXT PAGE, BUT FOR OURS WE'LL BE
AND THAT'S KIND OF WHY WE TALKED ABOUT THAT DRIVE THAT BASICALLY CIRCLED THE WHOLE PERIMETER SO THAT THE CITY TRUCKS COULD COME IN AND DO A FULL CIRCLE FULL OUT.
AND THE BUFFER ZONE GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND, EVEN ON THE PART OF LIKE YORKTOWN THAT HASN'T BEEN DEVELOPED YET.
IT WOULDN'T GO ALL THE WAY AROUND.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE TALL SHRUBS AND A LIKE A WOOD FENCE OR A BRICK WALL.
UH KPI'S FOR THAT A HUNDRED PERCENT, THE GREEN SPACE THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE IT'S IS IT JUST WOULDN'T BE GREENSPACE IS IT GOING TO HAVE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT OR IS BECAUSE I SEE PARKING AROUND IT.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT ELSEWHERE, NOT IN THAT GREEN SPACE, BUT THE KOREAN SPACE WOULDN'T BE GREEN SPACE PARK, BENCHES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS OR RESIDENTS, PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING TO THE SHOP AND VISIT TO HAVE A SPACE TO GO OUT TO.
I WAS JUST THINKING IN TERMS OF SAFETY FOR CHILDREN, IF THAT WAS GOING TO BE BECAUSE OF THE PARKING LOT.
OH NO, THE THERE THERE'S A DIFFERENCE CALL.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING IN THE PLAYGROUND.
AND I KNOW IT'S ON HANG UP THIS LAZY.
HOW MANY ACRES IS THIS? A RIDE AT? POINT SIX, 20.66.
10, JUST UNDER 10, RIGHT? YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT
I BELIEVE THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE IS 11, 10 TO 11.
WHAT WAS THE OTHER THING? IF THIS BUTTS UP TO THE SUB, THAT'S WHAT I, WHENEVER WE SAY 20, I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE REST OF THAT EXTENDS TO, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT'S HOUSES, THAT'S HOUSES, THAT'S RAILROAD AND THAT'S.
SO IT'S BEEN MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, I MEAN GO, GOING TO TAX ROLL.
I BELIEVE IT'S BETWEEN 10 AND 11 ACRES.
SO CAM ARE WE SURE ABOUT THAT? IS IT, IS IT 20 YEARS OF 10 PATIENT READS 20.36, ALL BASIC PARTNERS PARTNERSHIP.
I'M IN DENIAL THAT HE GLASSES THERE.
[00:45:15]
THESE ARE ALL HOUSES.IT SAYS HERE, THE REMAINDER IS 20
IT'S THIS PART IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE MAP, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S THE LAST SECTION.
AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK THAT 20 NUMBER THAT'S ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT CAME FROM THAT, WHICH IS NOT BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT THIS IS KIND OF A 20 ACRE TROUT AS OF 28, 11, 12
I DIDN'T MEAN TO SLOW THINGS DOWN.
I THINK THAT 11 IS PRETTY ALRIGHT.
ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR, COMPLETE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE THEY ANSWERED THEM.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE THOSE OPPOSED TO THE REZONE.
AND THE FIRST ITEM IS TO READ LETTERS AGAIN, WE'RE JUST GOING TO MICRO COUNT.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONE, UH, 11, WELL, 13, 14, THE 16, 17, 18 22, 3 4, 5 DAY
[00:50:02]
30 31 AND, AND THE JAZZ FROM ALL OF THE LETTER, SOME OF THEM ARE IN FIBER FOR VARIOUS REASONS.MEANING ANYWHERE FROM CRIMES MAIL, TRACKING, THE OTHERS BEING ANYWHERE APPROVING, IT HAS THE LIVING QUALITY IN THE AREA, THAT KIND OF THING.
THEN THE NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO HEAR FROM THOSE PRESENT THEY'RE OPPOSED TO THE REASONABLE.
AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME TO THE MIC.
MY NAME IS ED EASLEY AND I LIVE ON CONCORD.
MY, I HAVE TWO LOTS THERE AND MY LIGHTS BACK UP TO THE GREEN SPACE.
WE'VE LIVED THERE 22 YEARS, BOUGHT THE HOUSE WHEN IT WAS NEW, UM, IS THAT THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE THE FLAVOR OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S GOING TO CHANGE, UH, THE BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE LIVE IN.
UM, AND I'M, I FEEL SURE THAT THAT GREEN SPACE IS GOING TO SLOWLY GO AWAY.
UM, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE SAYING, AND I UNDERSTAND THEIR BLUEPRINTS, UM, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING AT THE VERY TOP, BUT ANY OF US THAT HAVE BEEN IN LOTS OF NEIGHBORHOODS IN HOUSTON, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT SEEMS TO ENCROACH AND COME RIGHT UP TO THE BACK OF THE HOMES THERE.
IF YOU DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAYS AND THERE ARE BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS, AND IT EVENTUALLY ENCROACHES, SOMEONE ELSE PUTS IN SOMETHING.
NOW THIS IS PERSONAL FEELING THAT I HAVE IN MY HUSBAND HAD, UM, WE DIDN'T BUY, WE LIVED IN LAKE JACKSON FOR 30 YEARS.
WE BOUGHT INCLUDE BECAUSE WE LOVED THAT SUBDIVISION.
AND WE, WE LOVE THE, UH, PRIVACY.
WE LOVE THE, UM, THE GREAT, THE WOODS AND EVERYTHING.
AND I THINK KLUTE NEEDS MORE HOUSETOPS ROOFTOPS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
I LOVE TO EAT AND RESTAURANTS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, BUT I THINK IT WILL CHANGE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN A WAY FOR ME PERSONALLY, THAT, AND I'VE HEARD OTHER PEOPLE SAY THIS TOO, WOULD ANY OF YOU? AND I CERTAINLY DON'T KNOW WHERE ANY OF YOU LIVE, BUT IF YOU HAD YOUR HOME BACKED UP TO A BUSINESS, THERE'S THE COLLECTION OF TRASH.
THERE'S MORE TRASH, THERE'S GARBAGE PICKUP.
UM, THERE'S MORE PEOPLE MORE NOISE, AND I'VE DRIVEN SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO GET A FEEL FOR THE, UH, OVER BY KROGER'S AND THOSE LIGHTS, EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THEM ARE FAR AWAY IN THE PARKING LOTS AND THE PIZZA PLACE.
IF YOU GO INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THOSE LIGHTS DO SHINE IN THEIR NIGHT.
I KNOW PERHAPS THIS PLACE WOULDN'T HAVE SUCH TALL LIGHTS.
I CAN'T ANSWER THAT, BUT IT IS A DISTRACTION TO THAT BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY HAVE THERE.
AND MY CONCERN IS SINCE I'M BACK DRIED UP NOW, A LOT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS AWAY FROM THE LAND THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SO IT WOULDN'T AFFECT THEM SO MUCH, BUT FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE ON CONCORDE AND JAMESTOWN, AND EVEN DOWN TO THE NEW ADDITION THAT'S BEING PUT IN, THIS IS GOING TO BE RIGHT, RIGHT IN OUR HOME.
AND I PERSONALLY THINK THAT KLUTE WOULD DO MUCH BETTER.
UH, AND THE DEVELOPER WOULD CERTAINLY DO MUCH BETTER BY PUTTING IN SOME MORE ATTRACTIVE HOMES.
UM, BUSINESSES BRING IN MONEY.
I'M AWARE OF THAT, BUT I'M ALSO AWARE THAT AS HOMEOWNERS, WE BRING IN MONEY TOO, AND IT'S NICE TO SAY, CLUED HAS THE MOSQUITO FESTIVAL.
WE NOW HAVE A BIG GROVER'S, WHATEVER, BUT IT'S ALSO NICE TO SAY THAT KLUTE HAS SOME REALLY LOVELY DEVELOPMENTS WHERE YOU CAN BUY.
AND YOU'RE ASSURED THAT YOU'RE A TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LAND AND EVERYTHING.
YOU'RE ASSURED THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE COLLEGE HAS CHANGED THEIR MIND.
OF COURSE, WHEN WE BOUGHT, WE KNEW THAT THEY SAID NO, THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGES TO THE RESTRICTIONS.
IT WOULD ALWAYS BE RESIDENTIAL AND THEY'RE ALLOWED TO CHANGE THEIR MIND.
BUT I, AS A HOMEOWNER ON CONCORD, JUST WANT TO SAY, I JUST THINK IT WOULD BENEFIT THE CITY OF KLUTE
[00:55:01]
TO HAVE MORE ROOFTOPS AND TO KEEP THAT NICE NEIGHBORHOOD INTO A QUIET RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN BRAG ABOUT AND BE PROUD OF JUST AS WE COULD ABOUT ANOTHER RESTAURANT COMING IN OR ANOTHER RETAIL STORE COMING IN, BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT THERE.I LIVE AT 1, 2, 3 WASHINGTON AVENUE.
AND IT WOULD, I LIKE TO ASK YOU TO SLIDE BACK UP.
IT SHOWS ME THIS, THIS IS A POSER BEEN GOING ON QUITE A WHILE.
AND THERE'S BEEN OPPOSITION FOR QUIETER ABOUT IF YOU WILL KNOW THERE'S BEEN CHANGES MADE THERE.
AND IF I'M NOT, IF I'M CORRECT, THE CITY COUNCIL DID REQUEST A TRAFFIC STUDY FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA.
HAS THAT BEEN DONE? THERE'S BEEN A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE AT THIS TIME.
THERE'S BEEN NO TRAFFIC STUDY DONE AT THIS TIME THAT TALKS WITH THE DEVELOPERS AND INCLUDED A TRAFFIC STUDY AS PART OF THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE.
BUT YOU'RE TELLING ME THEN IS WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO, WE'RE GOING TO REZONE IT.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TURN AROUND INTO THE TRAFFIC STUDY TO SEE IF IT MERITS THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE TRAFFIC.
BUT I THINK THAT THE ENGINEERS THAT HAVE TAKEN A LOOK AT THEM AT THAT FELT LIKE THERE'S ADEQUATE CAPACITY ON THE LANES WITH COLLEGE PARK BOULEVARD.
DO WE KNOW HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS ARE IN THERE? I BELIEVE THE COUNCIL WAS THAT WE GOT THEM.
WAS THAT AT? WHAT'S IN THE S IN THE SQUARES.
SO IN EACH SECTION THERE'S A SQUARE THAT HAS THE COUNT OF ALL THE PARKING SPOTS.
I WAS LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL 360 3, 5 HUNDREDS, WHICH IS IT WELL OVER HERE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE PAGE, IT SAYS IT'S 500 CUDDLE.
I THINK IT WAS A DIFFERENT PLAN.
MAYBE THIS IS A COMPARATIVE NOTE.
COULD WE GET AN ESTIMATE? 500.
SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 500 PARKING PLACES THERE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ENTRANCE AND EGRESS AND IT GOES BOTH WAYS AS IT GOES OUT AS A RESIDENT OF WASHINGTON STREET.
LET ME JUST TELL YOU VISD HAS CHANGED HER, UH, ROUTING FOR PICKUP AND DROP OFF.
IF YOU LIVE THAT ON WASHINGTON, YOU'VE GOT ABOUT A TOTAL OF THREE HOURS A DAY THAT YOU JUST ABOUT CAN'T GET IN AND OUT OF YOUR HOUSE NOW.
AND SOMETIMES DURING THE DAY TIME, IF YOU GO DOWN THE STREET THAT RUNS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF THAT ONE BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE COLLEGE DUMPING OUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HAVE NO TRAFFIC LUNCH TYPE THAT PEOPLE FIND A TONE IN AND OUT.
IF YOU GO OUT THE LAST EXIT DINERS AND WE'VE DONE A, AN ACCIDENT STUDY ON QUOTE UNQUOTE, UH, I HAVEN'T BEEN ASKED TO, I MEAN, JUST PARSLEY, TRYING TO GET OUT OF IT AS IT IS NOW.
IT HAS A LOT OF PERIODS OF TIME DURING THE DAY THAT THE TRAFFIC GOING BOTH WAYS, IT'S JUST A, IT'S A CRAP FIX.
YOU JUST GOT TO GO AND THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
NOW WE COULD DO AN INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE ISD AND THE COUNTY AND PUT A, UH, ANOTHER PLACE TO PARK THESE CARS OR THAT DROP-OFF, I KNOW THAT'S DOWN THE ROAD THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
BUT TO ME, THIS IS A QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AUDIO, HORRIBLE SITUATION, KIND OF GET IN AND OUT OF THERE.
[01:00:01]
THEY WERE GOING TO ADD ALL THIS, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, YOU'RE ASKING TOO MUCH.AND COUNCIL, IF YOU DID IT, IT'S UP TO THE DEVELOPER TO HAVE A PRACTICE STUDY.
WHY ARE WE PROCEEDING WITHOUT THAT? Y'ALL ALREADY TOTALLY.
AM I CORRECT OR INCORRECT? I DON'T BELIEVE, I DON'T REMEMBER THEIR BANK BECAUSE THE MOTION WAS DENIED FOR THE PUD.
SO THE, THE, IT BECAME A MOOT POINT.
YOU WANTED IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T DO IT.
WE'VE BEEN PROVIDED THE TRAFFIC STUDY IN FRONT OF THE KROGER AT DIXIE AND OYSTER CREEK, CORRECT? CORRECT.
THE TRAFFIC STUDY, I'M ASSUMING THE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT WAS DONE WHEN KROGER SHOPPING CENTER WAS BEING, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COLLEGE PARK.
IT'S NOT REFLECTIVE OF THE PLATTER BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TO BE DUMPING ON IT.
YOU'VE GOT TO COLLEGE DUMPING ON IT IN AND OUT.
SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
AND I HAVE AN EMAIL HERE FROM MR. KIRK.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER COUNSEL WAS PROVIDED ROSIE.
DID YOU SEND THIS OUT THE EMAIL FROM MR. KURT REGARDING TRAFFIC AND THE EXPLANATION FROM THE ENGINEER, MR. RUSTLER OKAY.
SO THEY ESTIMATED 2200 TRIPS ADDITIONAL ON THAT ROADWAY, WHICH HAS A CAPACITY 2200 ADDITIONAL TRIPS AS A RESULT OF THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, 2000, 2,204 MORE.
AND THEY ESTIMATE THAT THERE'S ALREADY CAPACITY FOR 36,000 TRIPS, WHICH THEY'RE NOT IN MEETING THAT NUMBER CURRENTLY IS WHAT HE'S SAYING.
BEST SUBDIVISIONS, HUMBLED, 50 YEARS OLD IN RESIDENTIAL ALL THIS TIME.
UH, IT BRINGS IN A LOT OF REVENUE FOR THE CITY.
WE'RE WE'RE, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY IT'S ABOUT THIS WAS OUT THERE.
ARE YOU A GOOD SHARE OF THE PAST? AND I THINK BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER WITH THIS, WE NEED TO SEE WHAT THAT'S, HOW THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT THE TRAFFIC FLOW.
I THINK HE JUST TOLD US THAT'S KIND OF A, I'M SORRY.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE INFORMATION
THE, THE ENGINEERS, UH, SENT AN EMAIL STATING THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT BASED ON CURRENT RETAIL IN THE REGION THAT WOULD GENERATE 38 TRIPS PER DAY OF THOUSANDS, PER THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL, 38 TIMES 58,000 DIVIDED BY 1000 EQUALS 2,204 TRIPS PER DAY INTO AND OUT OF THIS SHOPPING CENTER OR THIS COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT 200.
AND THEY HAVE, AND THEY NOTE THAT THE CAPACITY ON THE ROADWAY ITSELF ALONG THAT SECTION WOULD ALLOW FOR 36,000 VEHICLES PER DAY.
I'M NOT TRYING TO GET YOUR HAIR HELP YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE NEEDS AND THE WANTS OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT SUBDIVISION.
UH, I'VE ONLY BEEN THERE EIGHT YEARS.
UH, I LOVE IT OUT THERE FOR SOME OF THE SIMILAR REASONS THAT YOU'VE MOVED OUT.
THERE IS GREAT PEOPLE OUT THERE.
UH, YOU KNOW, HE CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT THE CITY SERVICES PROVIDED OR DRIVE INSTALLMENT IS GREAT AND WE'RE HAPPY THEY'RE THERE EXCEPT FOR THE TRAFFIC.
MARY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND COMMISSIONED RIVERS EVERY LITTLE DIFFICULT HERE.
I THINK THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER JUST, UH, STOLEN A LOT OF THE WIND OUT OF MY SAILS.
SO I'M GOING TO BORE YOU WITH A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BACKGROUND, SO YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM.
I WROTE YOU BACK IN MAY AND MY CONCERN EXPRESSED THEN WAS THE INGRESS AND EGRESS THIS PROPERTY.
AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NEXT TO ZERO COMMUNICATION THAT I WAS AWARE OF WITH THE DEVELOPER, WHICH PERSISTS TO THIS DAY.
AND THEN YOU PULLED IT FROM THE BAY MEETING.
[01:05:01]
IT WAS SCHEDULED AGAIN, UH, SENT, UH, YOU AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO, THAT WAS PREVIOUS LETTERS.AND THEN, UH, IT WAS CALLED TO MY ATTENTION OVER, WELL, THERE IS A SITE PLAN OUT AND IT SHOWS THE INGRESS AND EGRESS IS AWFUL COLLEGE BOULEVARD, COLLEGE AVENUE.
AND SO I HAD TO SEND ANOTHER AMENDED EMAIL IN TO EXPLAIN MY POSITION.
I RETIRED FROM TXDOT AND I WAS WORKING WITH HIM.
MINISTRATION IS STRATEGIC PLANNING, AND MY RESPONSIBILITY WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT TXDOT DIDN'T DO THINGS WHERE THEY CRAWLED OUT ON THE LIMB AND THEN TURNED AROUND AND SAW THE LAMB OFF THEMSELVES.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, I SERVED FOR FOUR YEARS ON AUSTIN'S TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION.
AND I PROMISED TO GOD THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR TRAFFIC SITUATION.
NOW THEY DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME WHAT AMOUNTS TO ANYWAY.
I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IN THE SEVEN YEARS THAT I'VE LIVED HERE AND I'M RETIRED, BUT I PICKED UP AND TOOK MY GRANDKIDS.
I CAN FORCE THE SCHOOL AND HAD TO GET OUT ON COLLEGE.
AND THREE QUARTERS OF THE YEAR ARE FACED WITH TRYING TO GET OUT ONTO A RACETRACK AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY MERGED LINES.
SO WITH THE JOB CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN INSTIGATED BY BIS DAVE OR REFEREES, AND THE STACK IT UP WITH THE CARS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ONLY REALISTIC WAY FOR ME TO GET OUT OF IT, FOR INSTANCE, IN THE AFTERNOON, WAS TO GO UP TO, UH, WHEN WAS BIRD COULDN'T GET OUT THERE BECAUSE THERE WERE STUDENTS COMING OUT FROM ACROSS THE STREET AT THE COLLEGE, THERE WAS TRAFFIC COMING UP THAT HAD BEEN SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE OF THE SCHOOL.
AND THEN THEY REACHED A POINT WHERE THEY CAN PICK IT UP.
SO THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE I HAD WAS TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN HEADING TOWARDS 2 88 B, GET DOWN TO THE NEXT BREAK AND THE MEDIAN AND DO A U-TURN AND COME BACK DOWN.
AND IN THIS SEVEN YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, I'VE SEEN THIS INCREASE IN HAVING HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH TXDOT AND WITH AUSTIN, I'M FEELING LIKE THAT WE'RE KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING TO COLLEGE AVENUE.
IT IS GETTING MORE AND MORE HEAVILY TRAFFIC.
THE TRAFFIC THAT COMES OFF OF 2 88 B HAS BEEN DRIVING 50 MILES AN HOUR AND BELIEVE YOU ME.
AND THEY DON'T SLOW DOWN EITHER NOT UNTIL THEY GET INTO THE SCHOOLS.
SO WE'RE BASICALLY AS A NEIGHBORHOOD WE'RE FACED WITH THREE ENTRANCES AND EXITS INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
TWO OF WHICH THREE QUARTERS OF THE YEAR, WE CAN'T USE A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY.
AND MY FEELING IS TO KEEP CLUED FROM PAINTING THEMSELVES INTO A CORNER AND APPROVING THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, GETTING STARTED ON IT, THEN DOING A TRAFFIC STUDY AND REALIZING, OH SHOOT, WE GOT A SERIOUS PROBLEM OUT HERE.
WE ALREADY NEED A LIGHT THERE AT GRIFFITH AND THE ENTRANCE TO THE COLLEGE.
AND THEN THAT LIGHT NEEDS TO BE RUNNING NINE MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR.
AND OF COURSE HEARD HER TIMES DURING THE DAY WHEN IT COULD, UH, COULD BE TURNED OFF, BUT WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THERE AND WHO'S GOING TO FIX IT IS LIKE JACKSON GOING TO FIX IT FOR US.
IS TXDOT GONNA FIX IT FOR US? ARE WE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT HAD TO FIX IT AND INCREASE THE TAX LOAD SO THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THE SITUATION? SO MY PLEA IS LET'S NOT APPROVE COMMERCIAL ZONING UNTIL WE HAVE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
I THINK IT WOULD BE JUST A WISE THING FOR US TO DO, TO GET ALL OF OUR PIECES OF THIS PUZZLE ON THE TABLE SO THAT WE CAN LOOK AT IT ALL AND EVALUATE WHETHER THIS IS A RIGHT FOR US TO MAKE OUR, PERHAPS IT OUGHT TO BE SOME OTHER FORM OF RESIDENTIAL.
AND I KNOW I'VE HAD PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE APARTMENTS IN THERE, THEY'RE GOING TO JUMP OUT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT'S GONNA MAKE IT WORSE.
BUT PUTTING THE TRAFFIC OUT ONTO COLLEGE AVENUE IS
[01:10:01]
GOING TO BE THE SOLUTION THAT WE MIGHT WANT EITHER.SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS, BUT I THINK WE'RE STILL MISSING ONE OF THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE.
AND WE CAN'T SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE UNTIL WE HAVE THAT PIECE.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING AND APPRECIATE IT.
UH, YOU'VE LIVED THERE AND PEOPLE ARE, DO YOU FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC? UH, THE COLLEGE STUDENT TRAFFIC OR SCHOOL TRAFFIC PRIOR TO WHATEVER WE, I THINK WE HAVE THREE ELEMENTS INVOLVED.
ONE IS THE DROP-OFF AND PICKUP FOR THE SCHOOL.
AND I KNOW B I S D IS WORKING ON PLANNING TO TRY TO MITIGATE THAT.
BUT EVEN SO THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IN AS MANY KIDS IN THAT SCHOOL AS THEY CAN.
AND I DOUBT SERIOUSLY, THAT'S THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.
WE'VE GOT THE KIDS COMING OUT OF THE COLLEGES, SOME OF WHICH LIVE OR IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT THEN THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE TRAFFIC.
SO WE'VE GOT THOSE TWO ELEMENTS.
SO I GUESS THAT'S WHERE THERE'S REALLY NOT ANY CUT-THROUGH BECAUSE YOU COME IN TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THROUGH THOSE THREE ENTRANCES AND THERE'S NO PLACE TO GO, BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD I WAS SPEAKING OF COLLEGE DRIVE, THAT SEEMS TO BE CONCERN OF COMING OUT AND ON IT.
AND, UH, AND THE REASON I ASKED THIS IS BECAUSE WE COLLEGE PARK WAS THERE.
IT WAS GOING TO BE THE GROWING SUBDIVISION, WHICH PRODUCES TRAFFIC.
WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE PARTIALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE A SCHOOL IN OUR SUBDIVISION, BUT NOW WE'VE GOT TRAFFIC.
SO THE ONLY THING THAT WE'RE REALLY NOT CONTROLLING, AND I DON'T KNOW, WE DO IS TO CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC.
IT SEEMS TO BE FROM GROWTH, WHICH IS WHAT ORIGINALLY THAT SUBDIVISION WAS BUILT FOR.
SO WE WOULD HAVE MORE HOUSES, MORE PEOPLE AND BETTER.
I HATE TO SAY IT IT'S LIKE MOST THINGS PROGRESS HAS A PRICE AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S COMING MORE RAPIDLY IN DIFFERENT AREAS THAT WAS ON FROM MY QUESTION TO THE ANSWERS TO TRY TO FIND MY ANSWERS IS THE REASON I WAS ASKING, AS FAR AS THE CUT-THROUGH, UH, YES, THERE LIKE JACKSON, I FOLLOW CARS THROUGH THERE ALL THE TIME OR GOING ON THREE TO 2 88 B, AND THEN THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC, PARTICULARLY IN THE MORNING, IN THE AFTERNOON THAT IS COMING UP TO 88 BAY AND GOING WEST ON COLLEGE.
AND THEY GO ON THROUGH THE LINE.
AND OF COURSE, WHEN A TRAIN GOES THROUGH AND I'VE TIMED THEM AND FORTUNATELY THEY SEEM TO BE LIMITING THEM TO ABOUT 15 MINUTES, HOWEVER, AS THEY HAVE MORE NEED, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE TRAINS, EVEN THOUGH THEY DO TRY TO LIMIT THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT THE INTERSECTION IS CLOSED.
SO IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST A FACT GROWTH.
AND IT'S JUST, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO GET TOO MUCH THROUGH ONE SMALL LOCATION.
I WOULDN'T KNOW, ON THE QUESTION OF THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND WHY IT COMES LATER, IT'S BASED ON YOU.
AND SO IF WE PRESUME THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE A WALL-TO-WALL COMMERCIAL OR SEVERAL RESTAURANTS VERSUS MAYBE A SMALL STRIP CENTER AND A DAYCARE THAT HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON THE TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S NEEDED.
AND SO WHEN WE TALK WITH THE DEVELOPER, THE IDEA WAS WE WOULD DO THE TIA AT THE POINT, WE GET READY TO ACTUALLY START DEVELOPING AND PLACING THE INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE GROUND AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD A PLAN IN PLACE FOR WHAT ACTUALLY WENT IN THERE, NOT THE PER SE, THE VOLUME OF CARS, BECAUSE ACTUALLY I THINK WHAT YOU WOULD END UP WITH, IF IT WAS SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING IS ALMOST THE EQUAL EQUIVALENT NUMBER OF TRIPS IN AND OUT, AND MAYBE ONE MORE INLET AND OUTLET FOR THE, FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, I CAN SAY THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH VISD, UH, ON A PLAN FOR MAGIC GRIFFITH BECAUSE WE'VE, IT'S PART FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GET A FIRETRUCK OR AN AMBULANCE OR A POLICE CAR DOWN, UH, WHEN THOSE, THOSE TIMES TODAY.
SO WE UNDERSTAND THE NEED THERE.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO INVEST IN MAKING THAT RIGHT.
UM, AND WE WILL CERTAINLY CONDUCT ANOTHER WARRANT ANALYSIS THERE AT THE INTEREST OF THE COLLEGE.
UH, BUT GIVEN THE SPACE DISTANCE FROM THE RAILROAD TRACK, AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO WAY TO SIGNALIZE THE INTERSECTION INTO THIS OR INTO YORKTOWN BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT I'D ALWAYS DEALT WITH PROJECTED WITH FREEWAY SAVVY ENTRANCE AND EXIT RAMPS.
THEY HAD TO HAVE CERTAIN DISTANCE APART.
AND SO NOW WE'VE GOT BASICALLY THREE CUTS THERE, WHETHER IT'S ONE COURSE DOWN CLOSE TO AP, BUT THEY WON'T GO ADD ANOTHER ONE.
AND IT'S JUST GOING TO EXACERBATE THE SITUATION IN MY OPINION,
[01:15:01]
BUT I DON'T ENVY ANYBODY HAVING TO DO THAT ANALYSIS BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH ONE AND THE SOLUTION'S GOING TO BE EVEN TOUGHER.I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM.
BUT ON THAT SAME NOTE AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY, IF ANY, GIVEN ANY GIVEN INTERSECTION IN THE CITY, YOU RUN INTO THE SAME THING.
THE, I LIVE ON A DEAD END STREET, YOU RUN DOWN HERE AND GET THEM IN THE MORNING.
PEOPLE ARE COMING TO THE SCHOOL OR DROPPING KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL.
IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT ON THE MAIN STREET CLIFF.
I MEAN, IT'S A SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE YOU GO AND, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE MADE A LITTLE BIT OF IMPROVEMENT DOWN HERE AT THE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL, WITH THEIR DROP-OFF LANES AND STUFF THERE.
SO HOPEFULLY THEY WILL DO SOMETHING SIMILAR AT THE SCHOOL OVER THERE.
AND I MEAN, IT'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER HERE THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR, YEAR BEFORE THAT.
WELL, MY PLEA IS TO DO THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS FIRST, BEFORE YOU MAKE THE FINAL DECISION ON THE ZONING.
AND JUST AS A SIDE NOTE, AFTER MOVING DOWN HERE, ALL MY FRIENDS IN AUSTIN SAID, WELL, HOW DO YOU LIKE LIVING DOWN THERE? SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING AND IT'S DIFFERENT.
OH, HOW'S IT DIFFERENT? WELL, I SAID, YOU KNOW, DURING PEAK PERIOD TRAFFIC TIMES DURING THE DAY, I MIGHT BE MAYBE THE FOURTH OR FIFTH CAR TO STOP BY AND IN AUSTIN, YOU'RE LUCKY IF YOU WERE THE 50TH CAR.
SO IT DOES HAVE SOME PLUSES FOR SURE.
WHAT WAS YOUR NAME? OKAY, GOOD.
ADMIN COUNCIL, UH, ZONING COMMISSION.
MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER COLLINS, UH, LIVING IN CONCORD AVENUE NEXT TO MISS EASILY.
I RESONATE THE SAME ISSUES BROUGHT UP BY THE PAST TWO SPEAKERS, ESPECIALLY TRAFFIC, UH, WITHOUT GOING INTO THAT, THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING THEIR ISSUES WITH THAT.
UM, ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS WITH THIS BEING A BUSINESS PARK IS MY HOUSE IS GOING TO BACK STRAIGHT UP TO THIS NEW BUSINESS PARK.
UH, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BUILT OR BOUGHT THIS HOUSE IN 2017 IN COLLEGE PARK AND EXPECTING IT TO BE A, A NEIGHBORHOOD THE ENTIRE TIME, UH, AS A RESIDENT OF MISSOURI COUNTY, JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE.
I LOVE THE BARBECUE LOCAL FOOD.
MY MAIN CONCERN IS I DON'T WANT TO SMELL BARBECUE EVERY DAY WITH, WITH MY HOUSE BACKING RIGHT UP TO IT.
DON'T WANT TO HAVE IT SMELL JUST AROUND MY HOUSE ALL THE TIME.
UH, AND ON TOP OF THAT WITH THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF OTHER BUSINESSES, UM, AS YOU ALL, ALL ARE ALL AWARE, UH, THEY COME WITH HEAVY DUMPSTERS AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW THE TIMES THAT THE CLUED TRUCKS RUN FOR TRASH PICKUP FOR THE DUMPSTERS.
UH, BUT IF IT'S LIKE, LIKE JACKSON, IT'S GOING TO BE EARLY IN THE MORNING.
THOSE DUMPSTERS ARE NOT QUIET.
WHENEVER THOSE LARGE TRUCKS COME AND PICK UP THE HEAVY DUMPSTERS, THAT THERE'S NOTHING QUIET ABOUT COLLABORATION.
UM, WITH THAT BEING RIGHT BACK BEHIND MY HOUSE, IT'S, IT'S A PROBLEM WITH IT'S NOISE CONCERN, AND IT'S JUST, IT WOULD MAKE IT AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE LIVING IN MY HOME THAT I'VE HAD FOR FIVE YEARS NOW.
UM, I HOPE YOU ALL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
UH, ANOTHER ISSUE IS, IS WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR DEVELOPMENT ON THIS, UH, OPEN AIR BARBECUE ESTABLISHMENT.
IS IT, IS THERE ANY GOING TO BE ANY LIVE BANDS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT? PLAYING THAT'S A PROBLEM OF CONCERN.
I, I REALLY APPRECIATE MY NEIGHBORHOOD BEING A NICE BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT, AND I HOPE IT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
UM, MY HUSBAND AND I BUILT OUR HOME AT 22 YEARS AGO AND WE LIVE RIGHT THERE AND JAMESTOWN AND CONCORDE.
AND SO IT'S A NIGHTMARE JUST TRYING TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY.
UM, SO YOU CAN IMAGINE, I KNOW THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC IT'S SOUNDS LIKE NASCAR ON COLLEGE BOULEVARD ALL THE TIME.
[01:20:01]
IT SETS UP THAT ABOUT MAYBE A 20 FOOT, UM, E'S EASEMENT BUFFER, BUFFER, BUFFER, IF YOU WILL.UM, AND THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO MY FENCE.
AND THEN THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE WHERE THE TRASH TRUCKS COME THROUGH RIGHT DOWN BEHIND ALL OF OUR BACKYARDS, BASICALLY.
SO, AND THEN YOU GOT THE PARKING.
I CAN'T IMAGINE A PARKING LOT, NOT HAVING LIGHTING BECAUSE THAT'S A SAFETY ISSUE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK TO YOUR CAR AT NIGHT IN A DARK PARKING LOT.
UM, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SMELLS OF THE TRASH.
OF COURSE, THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE HEARD OF MAYBE TWO RESTAURANTS.
I'VE HEARD OF ONE, BUT NOW THEY'RE TALKING MAYBE TWO.
UM, THAT'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT SMELLS.
IT'S A LOT OF TRASH AND THAT'S JUST NOT WHAT WE ENVISIONED OUR FOREVER HOME TO BE.
WE TRULY WERE GOING TO RETIRE THERE, BUT NOW, UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT LOOKING LIKE WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO ME? UM, WELL THE QUESTION CAME UP, SO I CONTACTED DISPATCH AND HAD THEM RUN THE NUMBERS SINCE JANUARY OF 2020 TILL PRESENT.
WE'VE ONLY HAD EIGHT TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ON COLLEGE DRIVE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE NUMBER THAT WE'VE HAD THAT WE'VE WORKED.
EIGHT, SINCE WE END UP, SORRY.
SO LAST TWO YEARS, TWO AND A HALF YEARS.
THAT'S THAT WOULD BE ENRICH WOODS, UH, JURISDICTION.
OURS IS JUST GOING TO BE FROM THE BRIDGE TO THE LIGHT, BASICALLY.
SO LIKE WE NEED TO PATROL SOME SPEED LIMITS TO YOU KNOW, AFTER A COMMENT FOR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE COMMENTS, THE ONLY THING YOU GET 31 LETTERS OPPOSED THAT'S MORE THAN THAT'S ALMOST 50% OF THE LETTER SENT OUT.
I THINK IT WAS 31, 30, 1 31 PILES, BUT WE MAILED A 31 HERE AND
AND
IF IT HAS LETTERS THAT OPPOSED OUT OF THE 31 OR WITHIN THAT 200 FEET, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION, SIR? OKAY.
SO, UH, THE NUMBER IS IMPORTANT FOR LEGAL REASONS.
UM, IF THERE'S A PROTEST OF, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS SIGNED IN WRITING THAT THEY'RE OPPOSED TO THIS CHANGE, UH, IF IT REPRESENTS MORE THAN 20% OF THE PROPERTY WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE, THE EFFECTIVE PROPERTY.
NOW, THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THAT IS IT'S NOT COUNTED BY PEOPLE IS COUNTED BY, UH, AREA.
[01:25:01]
UH, IT HAS TO BE 20% OF THE TOTAL PROPERTY.SO YOU GO OUT TO 200 FEET, YOU FIND ALL THOSE OWNERS.
NOW THE GOOD NEWS, UH, IS THAT WHETHER THE PROTEST IS 20% OR NOT, THE DIFFERENCE IN VOTE TOTAL IS IT HAS TO BE PRESSED BY TWO THIRDS OR BY THREE-FOURTHS, BUT EITHER WAY, TWO THIRDS OR THREE FOURTHS IS STILL HAS TO BE FOUR OUT OF FIVE VOTES.
SO IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MATTER, BUT JUST TO SIT TO SUCCEED AND CHANGE DEVOTE HAS TO BE FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE VOTES.
I WAS TOLD AND I SIGNED TWO LETTERS IN OPPOSING BECAUSE I'M LOT A AND B I'M 1 13, 1 15, EVEN THOUGH MY NAME IS THE SAME ON ALL THE LETTERS.
I DIDN'T WANT ONE OF THEM TO BE DISCARDED AS A DUPLICATE.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AND CLARIFY.
CAUSE I WAS GIVING, I WANTED TO GIVE THE EXPLANATION SO THAT EVERYBODY WILL KNOW THAT WE MADE THE EXAMINATION UNDER THE LAW TO BE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE WE DID IT CORRECTLY.
BUT THE END RESULT IS, UH, TO SUCCEED IT'S IT HAS TO BE FOUR OUT OF FIVE VOTES, WHICH WOULD BE THE HIGHER LEVEL OF THREE-FOURTHS MAKE SURE MY TWO WERE COUNTED.
YES MA'AM YEAH, YOU CAN JUMP IT.
I JUST, JUST MISSING EASILY TO FURTHER EXPLAIN, UH, BASED ON THE, ON THE SIZE, YOUR TWO LOTS, UH, ADDED INTO THE TOTAL ACREAGE OF THE PROPOSED SITE, UH, WHICH AMOUNTED TO ABOUT 33% OF ADJOINING PROPERTIES IN PROTEST, WHICH IS WHAT TRIGGERED THE FORFEIT, THE, FOR THE VOTE COUNTER OF THE 3, 3, 4 SPOKEN ON BOARD THAT CAN REFERENCE AND ALERT AGAIN, MR. SOME OF THOSE PROPERTIES ARE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND ARE OWNED BY THE DEVELOPER.
UM, HAVING THAT, UH, THOSE ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES DOES NOT GIVE HIM NOPE.
THE PURPOSE, THE PROTEST WAS SUCCESSFUL.
JUST WANTED TO BE SURE HE DIDN'T HAVE AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
ANY FURTHER COMMENT FOR PLANNING AND ZONING, WE WILL HEAR YOUR COMMENT FROM MARRIAGE COUNSEL.
I JUST, I HAVE A QUESTION AND I DON'T KNOW WHO I'M PUTTING IT OUT TO IT, MAYBE TO THE PEOPLE THAT OPPOSE.
SO YOUR TOWN HAS BEEN EXTENDED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO THAT TRAFFIC ISN'T EVEN BEING CONSIDERED AT THIS TIME.
AND EVEN IF THIS PORTION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS EVENING WAS TO BECOME RESIDENTIAL.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HELP THE TRAFFIC ON COLLEGE DRIVE.
IT'S JUST GOING TO BE ADDING MORE VEHICLES GOING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND I DON'T, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS OR ANYTHING CAUSE YORKTOWN, IF THERE'S ALREADY A MASSIVE PROBLEM INSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YORKTOWN IS NOT EVEN COMPLETE YET.
AND IF YOU ADD ABOUT TWO CARS PER TWO TO THREE CARS, EVERYBODY'S GOT TWO OR THREE CARS NOW TO EACH ONE OF THOSE PROPERTIES, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ENTER AND EXIT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S, WHAT IF THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, IF WE STILL NEED TO GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT OR, I MEAN, I'M JUST GOING FROM MEMORY.
BUT WHEN, BEFORE THIS WAS BEFORE THIS WAS BEING CONSIDERED AS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, THERE WAS THERE WASN'T ANOTHER CURB CUT OFF THE ROADS WERE INSIDE THIS, THIS AREA.
SO THEY WOULD ALL BE CONNECTED TO THE INNER, TO THE, TO THE STREETS THAT WERE IN A SUBDIVISION NOW, WHICH KIND OF LED TO MY QUESTION.
DO WE HAVE MORE SCHOOL TRAFFIC? THE COLLEGE THAT WAS THERE WHEN THE SUBDIVISION WAS PUT IN THE GROWTH OF THE HOUSES IN THE, UH, LEADING TO A PROBLEM, ME HAVING KNOWS I LIVE ON OLD STREET, WHO WOULD EVER THOUGHT THAT I COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ON THE LAZY LANE IN THE MORNING, UH, THAT WOULD TW UP, BUT IT IT'S AS BAD AS I HATE TO SAY IT.
GROWTH HAS A PRICE AND WE WANT NEW THINGS.
WE WANT ALL THE THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH IT.
AND IT'S A VERY, VERY TOUGH DECISION TO DO.
WE WANT TO STAY STATUS QUO BECAUSE I'M THE GUY THAT DON'T WANT TO CHANGE
[01:30:01]
NOTHING.I LIVED IN CLINTON BECAUSE I LIKED THE WAY IT WAS.
I'M TRYING TO GET INTO THE PROGRESS, HAS A PRICE, YOU KNOW, BUT IT'S NAIVE TO SIT HERE AND SAY, HEY, WE LIKE IT JUST LIKE IT IS.
I DON'T KNOW OF ANYBODY THAT CAN DO THAT.
AND YOU KNOW, NO DISRESPECT IS, CLUED IS CLEAR.
IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR A LONG TIME, BUT THE GROWTH OF KROGER'S AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK THAT LIVE BY BEHIND GROWTH.
OH, I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT I WON FIELDS, BUT THAT WAS AN ISSUE IN ITSELF.
AND IT'S TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT'S HAPPENED TO CLINTON.
IT REALLY HAS BESIDES COLLEGE PARK, UH, CAUSE THAT WAS CALLED APARTMENT THE LAST SUBDIVISION PRIOR TO THAT.
AND IT HAD HURDLES TO OVERCOME, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, THAT, TO ME, THE ONLY THING IS I UNDERSTAND THE 200 FEET THE SUBDIVISION OTHER THAN TRAFFIC, WHICH I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTROL, UH, WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING LIKE A LIGHT UP AT LEXINGTON, THE ENTRANCE THAT AT MAGIC GRIFFITH.
SO TYPICALLY SPEAKING THE COST WAS BORN BY THE WHOEVER.
SO WE WOULD COST SHARE THAT PROBABLY WITH DISB IF A WARRANT ANALYSIS INDICATED AND THEN THAT WHEN THE COLLEGE PUT THE GRAND ARCHWAY IN THE INSTRUCTION THERE, THE SAME ENGINEER THAT SENT THESE STATISTICS ABOUT THE 36,000 VEHICLES ON THE ROADWAY CONDUCTED THAT STUDY AND FELT AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NO WARRANT FOR LIGHT AT THAT SITE.
SO, UM, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE AT THAT TIME IF IT WAS GOING TO BE DONE, I SUPPOSE, UH, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE CHANGES TO MATT GRIFFITH ARE AND WHAT THE TRAFFIC FLOW INTO AND OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD BE.
BUT, UH, THEY FELT AT THAT TIME THERE WAS ADEQUATE GEOMETRY AND ADEQUATE ACT LANE ACCESS TO ALLOW FOR, TO NOT HAVE TO REQUIRE A SIGNAL.
I HAVEN'T SEEN THE STUDY THAT THAT WAS WHAT WAS RELAYED TO ME IN HIS EMAIL.
AND HE POINTS OUT THAT THERE'S CAPACITY THERE, ALONG THAT STRETCH THOSE CERTAIN AREAS.
I'M GUESSING GOING SUBDIVISION VERSUS WHAT KLUTE WAS.
AND THEN THE CIVILIAN I'M SURE LIKE BEING HAS COME UP WITH A TRAFFIC ISSUE THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE 10 YEARS AGO.
AND WANT ME TO SEND ME WITH DIXIE DRIVE TRAFFIC, GETTING OUT BECAUSE A RED LIGHT, I DO UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I'M ASSUMING THAT THAT IS A TRAFFIC ISSUE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE 10 YEARS AGO TO, UH, AND I'M A SOLELY, ASSUMING WE GET BRANDS WOULD KICKED OFF WITH ALL THESE NEW STUFF.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE STUDENTS COMING OUT OF THERE AS WELL.
WELL THEN THE SCHOOL STARTS GETTING MORE STUDENTS GOING THERE, WHICH ADDS MORE TRAFFIC.
SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO TELL THE SCHOOL, THEY CAN'T HAVE ANY MORE KIDS THERE.
'CAUSE I'M GUESSING THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH MAJ GRIFFIN CUT OFF AMOUNT OF KIDS SO WE CAN CUT OFF THE TRACKS.
AND EVERYTHING GROWTH A LITTLE BIT ON THAT.
CAN YOU COME, CAN YOU COME UP TO THE MIC? I GUESS I'M TRYING TO MAKE IT RIGHT IN MY MIND.
I MET ONE TO FOUR CONCOR UM, WE'VE GOT A TRAFFIC PROBLEM.
YES, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE HERE BECAUSE OF THE COMMERCIAL PART OF IT.
AND UH, I'M GOING TO BE RETIRED FOR YEARS.
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I NEED TO REMODEL MY HOME OR PUT IT UP FOR SALE.
AND I, I UNDERSTAND THAT POSITION.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT A CAP ON IT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO MEET THAT'S WHAT W W WE'RE TRYING, BUT NOT TRYING TO DO JUST ME PARCEL.
AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS TRAFFIC STUDY LAST TIME.
THEY SAID IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE.
WELL, IT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO FIND NOVA.
WE GOT TO GO, WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT EXPERIENCE COMING TO THINK.
I THINK WE WERE, WE DID SOMETHING OF SOME SORT AND WE WERE TOLD WE DIDN'T NEED ONE.
IF I'M LISTENING TO THE OTHER END OF THE BED HERE, THE ENGINEER SAID MORE THAN ONE WAS NOT NEEDED BECAUSE THERE WAS ADEQUATE CAPACITY.
BUT WE STILL THINK OF AN AGREEMENT WITH MR. KURT THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AS WE STARTED TO DEVELOP, TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MIGHT BE NEEDED THERE IN TERMS OF DO WE NEED A RIGHT TURN LANE AND WE NEED A RIGHT TURN LANE OUT.
SO IT SOUNDED LIKE THE CONFUSION IS IF THIS THING IS FULL, BUT UNTIL WE, THE GENTLEMAN SAID, PUTTING THE HORSE, YOU KNOW, THE CART FOR THE HORSE, I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON WHAT GOES ON THERE.
HOW DO WE ANALYZE HOW MUCH TRAFFIC WE HAVE NUTS, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF EMPTY SPOTS IN THAT PLACE NOW.
WELL, I'M ASSUMING THAT WOULD CHANGE THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AT SOME POINT I'M WAY
[01:35:01]
OVER MY HEAD HERE I DRIVE TRUCK FOR, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE BUILT, BEING BUILT IN PHASES.IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? SO THE END USE AT THE END OF THE DAY, LET'S HYPOTHETICALLY SAY THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE ANOTHER 50 HOMES.
THAT'S GOING TO RESULT IN X NUMBER OF TRIPS AND THAT WOULD'VE BEEN, TELL US WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE RELATED TO THE INGRESS AND EGRESS FOR THOSE 50 HOUSES.
IF IT'S GOING TO BE, I'M SORRY.
IF IT WAS GOING TO BE 50 HOMES, LET'S SAY WE WOULD HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE INGRID, WHAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS WOULD BE INTO AND OUT OF THAT, THAT PORTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IF IT'S GOING TO BE TWO RESTAURANTS, WELL, THAT'S A CERTAIN NUMBER OF TRIPS PER DAY, AND THEY ESTIMATE THAT AT 2,204, IF IT'S GOING TO BE A HOSPITAL, OBVIOUSLY YOUR, YOUR TRAFFIC COUNT IS GOING TO BE LOWER.
SO THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS COMES ONCE WE KIND OF KNOW WHAT THE USE IS, AND THEN WE CAN HONE ON WHAT THE ACTUAL INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS TO BE.
DOES IT NEED TO BE A RIGHT TURN LANE? DO WE NEED TO HAVE, WE CAN'T PUT A SIGNAL THERE BECAUSE OF ITS PROXIMITY TO THE SIGNAL AT OLD ANGLETON AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
SO WE COULD PUT A FLASHING LIGHT.
THERE'S A ONE ANALYSIS FOR THAT.
SHOULD IT BE A STOP AND STOP OUT RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT ONLY THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT'LL BE ADDRESSED, BUT WE HAVE TO KNOW FIRST WHAT THE USE IS AND IF IT REMAINS RESIDENTIAL, THERE'S NO.
CAUSE THAT WAS WHY WE DROPPED IT.
WHEN THEY, WHEN THE PUD WAS INITIALLY DONE AWAY WITH, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE PUD, THAT WAS GOING TO BE A REQUIREMENT FOR A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
WE AGREED AT THAT TIME, WELL, WE'RE NOT DOING THE PUD.
THERE'S NO NEED TO DO IT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO REMAIN RESIDENTIAL OR IN-SITU FOR AWHILE.
THEN THE DISCUSSION CAME BACK.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO AND WE'RE LOOKING INTO DOING AND SEE ONE, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT C1 IS GOING TO BE PER SE, UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY START.
THEY HAVE ONE TENANT AND ONE LETTER OF A LETTER OF COMMITMENT, I SUPPOSE, ON THE PROPERTY.
BUT IS IT GOING TO BE ANOTHER PARKING? IS IT GOING TO BE A COLLECTION OF BAKERY? IS THERE GOING TO BE A BAKERY? IS THERE GOING TO BE WHAT IS GOING TO BE IN THERE? AND IT SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE TWO RESTAURANTS AND SOME SMALL OFFICE SPACE THAT'S GOING TO GENERATE FAR LESS TRAFFIC AND REQUIRE FAR LESS TRAFFIC THAN SAY, UM, A SERIES OF PAD SIDES IN A STRIP CENTER.
AND SO UNTIL WE KIND OF KNOW WHAT THE DESIGN OF THE SITE IS, WE WON'T KNOW WHAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS ARE.
ONCE WE KNOW WHAT THOSE NEEDS ARE.
THEN WE DO THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS TO FIGURE OUT WHO, HOW WE MITIGATE THAT.
IT MIGHT BE DOCTORS OR DENTISTS OR, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE PRECISELY, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
WELL, THIS TIME COMING IN FACTOR THE ANALYSIS, I MEAN, CAUSE WE'RE DROPPING OFF AT SCHOOL.
ARE WE EATING? ARE WE SHOPPING? I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THERE'S A STAGGERED TIME ISSUE WITH DROPPED IT OFF, PICKING UP.
IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE FACED AT THE INTERSECTION CURRENTLY OF PLANTATION AT CHECK FOR ONE HOUR, A DAY, WE WARRANT A SINGLE THE REST OF THE TIME.
WE ACTUALLY DON'T WORRY ANY TRAFFIC CONTROL AT ALL.
SO YOU, THESE BEEN THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOLLARS, BUT A TRAFFIC LIGHT UP AT THAT SIDE.
OR DO YOU GO WITH A FOUR WAY? AND WE'RE STILL TRYING TO DECIDE THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT YES, TIMING MATTERS, TRAFFIC COUNT MATTERS.
UH, BUT THAT ALL GOES INTO WHAT HAPPENS AT THIS SITE.
IF IT'S SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, IT'S GOING TO BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOOK AND OUTCOME THAN IF IT'S A HOSPITAL OR TWO RESTAURANTS WHERE THREE RESTAURANTS OR A SMALL STRIP CENTER WITH A, WITH A MAKER-SPACE IN OFFICE RENTAL, A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
UH, I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THAT THE FIRST PERSON THAT EVER BUILT A HOUSE IN THE CITY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO BE THE ONLY PERSON IN THE CITY.
WE DIDN'T THINK THAT MAYOR TO BE THE FIRST ONE, BUT I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THAT THE FIRST ONE THAT BUILT HERE, IT PROBABLY IS NOT, THEY WEREN'T GOING TO HAVE A NEIGHBOR.
UH, BUT AS WE COULD SEE, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
UH, AND I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A TRAFFIC CONCERN.
AND THEN WE SAID, WE HAVE A COMMERCIAL'S CONCERN TO ME THAT WE KIND OF GOT OFF OF THAT TO THE TRAFFIC.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE NOT, I'M TRYING TO CONSIDER BOTH WHAT WE'RE DOING.
I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYBODY'S CONCERNED.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS OWNER THAT'S BEEN INCLUDED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
UH, I ALREADY, THEY'VE MET A RESPONSIBLE VISITORS OWNER IN THE CITY OF PLU.
THEY'RE LOOKING TO DEVELOP IN THE FURTHER, IN THE CITY OF CLUE.
I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY'S CONCERNED AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE CHARGED WITH DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CITY OF FLUKE.
WE'RE NOT CHARGED FOR DOING WHAT'S THE BEST KALI PARK WE'RE CHARGED WITH WHAT TO DO AT BEST FOR THE CITY OF CLUE.
AND YOU KNOW, THEY ARE PART OF THE CITY OF PLUTE AS WELL.
I THINK THAT WE NEED TO MAKE OUR DECISION
[01:40:01]
BASED ON WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CITY.AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO BED AT NIGHT AND SLEEP WITH, I WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE BEST WAY TO MAKE MOST DECISIONS.
THE OTHER COMMENT IS PREMARITAL.
THEN THE NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO CLOSE DISCUSSION AND HEAR A RECOMMENDATION FROM OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE SEND IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, ANY OPPOSED MAYOR? WE RECOMMEND THAT CITY COUNCIL GRANT THE REZONING, THE IDEA WOULD BE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTIONS FROM CITY COUNCIL TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION THAT THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY B ZONE COUNTERPART GO AWAY.
I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN AGUILAR.
DO I SECOND HAVE SECOND BY COUNCIL CHRIS, FLORIDA'S OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.
AND THE REASON WE COME UP HERE AND TRY TO DO WHAT'S BEST TO BE STEWARDS OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY CITY MONEY IS THE CITIZENS OF THE REASON WE'RE HERE.
BUT THE OVERALL CITY IS THE REASON THAT I AGREE.
THIS WILL BE THE BEST FOR THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY AT THIS TIME.
UH, I REPRESENT PLANTATION LAZY LANE, UM, AND I'VE DISCUSSED WITH SOME PEOPLE THERE, YOU KNOW, THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE AT HAND AND WHAT IT, WHAT IT COULD BRING TO THE CITY OF CLUE, YOU KNOW, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT DECISION TO MAKE AND WHY I MAKE THE MOTION, UH, WHERE I REPRESENT OR D YOU FOLKS LIVE IN WARD D UH, I INHERITED WARD DEEP WHEN WE HAD OUR, UH, CHANGES ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO OR SO, WHENEVER IT WAS.
AND ANYWAY, Y'ALL ARE PART OF WARD D THIS IS THE TOUGHEST, UH, ONE OF THE TOUGHEST DECISIONS I'VE HAD TO MAKE SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL AND I'VE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
AND, UH, ANYWAY, UH, THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU ALL LIKE JAFFIN AND ERIC SAID, I BELIEVE IT AT THIS TIME THAT THIS IS THE BEST DECISION THAT WE CAN MAKE FOR THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, UM, FOR THE CITY OF CLINTON, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'LL LET HER TELL YOU TO VOTE ALL IN FAVOR.
ANY OPPOSED? UH, I MEAN, NOT QUOTE.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, UH, WE GO DOWN DURING THE GOING PUBLIC HEARINGS WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WITH CARE TO JERK WE WILL, WE WILL ADJOURN OUR PUBLIC AREA AND THEN MOVE INTO OUR REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING FIRST ITEM.
AND IT SAYS THE VISITOR COMMENT.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? NOT I DON'T HAVE ANY LETTERS.
[V. CONSENT AGENDA]
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS LISTED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE OR IN GENERAL, WE ENACTED IN ONE MOTION.THE EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE IS THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY REQUIRE ONE OR MORE ITEMS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR SEPARATE ACTION.
CONSIDER AGENDA TONIGHT, CONSIST OF MINUTES, REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 9TH, 20.2 AT 7:00 PM.
I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA BOND.
DO I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION, ANY OUT OF LEAD TO BE REMOVED HEARING NONE.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A VOTE ALL IN FAVOR.
[01:45:01]
AYE.[VI. BUSINESS ITEMS]
ITEM IS CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 31 20 22 FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT APPLICATION.AND IT WOULD BE RESOLUTION NUMBER 31 20 22 TWICE.
THE STATE AVERAGE PER CAPITA RESOLUTION WITH NO OBJECTION.
WHEREAS THE LAUGH AT FOURTH ULP HAS PROPOSED THE DEVELOPMENT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING NOTE 528, 2 0 1 HACKBERRY STREET NAMED THE LIFE AT FOREST VIEW OF CLUE.
WHEREAS THE LIFE AT FOREST VIEW LP HAS TO BE INDICATED THAT IT IS TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING, THE COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, D D H C A FOR 20.3 HOUSING TAX CREDITS AND PRIVATE ACTIVITY BOND FUNDS FOR THE LIVE AT FOREST VIEW.
IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED THAT AS PROVIDED FOR 10 TAC, SOME KIND OF SYMBOL L L 0.3 C IS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGED.
AND HE CONFIRMED THE CITY OF PLU HAD MORE THAN TWICE.
THE STATE AVERAGE OF UNITS PER CAPITA SUPPORTED BY HOUSING TAX CREDITS ARE PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS, AND FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE CITY OF BLUE HEREBY SUPPORTS THE PROPOSED LAP AT FOREST VIEW THAT CONFIRMS THAT HIS GOVERNMENT BODY HAD MOST SPECIFICALLY TO APPROVE THE CONSTRUCTION OR REHABILITATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND TO AUTHORIZE AN ALLOCATION OF HOUSING TAX CREDITS FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT GO TO 3 0 6 0.6703, PAY FOR AND RESOLVED THAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF TACTICAL TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE 2, 3 0 6, 6 $7 LEVEL ONE AND 10 TA C 11 2 0 4, 4 IS HEREBY FOUND THAT NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN NOTICE HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE GOVERNMENT BODY IN ACCORDANCE WITH TEXAS TAX CODE 2, 3 0 6 6 7 0 7 1 8 AND THE GOVERNMENT BODY HAS HAD SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN A RESPONSE FROM THE APPLICANT REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
THE GOVERNMENT BODY HAS HELD A HEARING AT WHICH PUBLIC COMMENT MAY BE MADE ON THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE 2, 3 0 6, 6 7 0 7.
AND AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE AFRICAN AND PUBLIC OMNIUM GOVERNED BODY DOES NOT OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED APPLICATION AND FURTHER RESOLVED THAT FAR.
AND ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT BODY, GALVIN SHOULD BEAR.
TEXAS ARE HEREBY AUTHORIZED EMPIRE AND DIRECTED TO CERTIFIED THIS, THESE RESOLUTIONS TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS READ PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 23RD DAY OF JUNE, 2022, SIGNED BY MYSELF, BUT TESTIFIED MR. CRUZ, FUN TO EXPLAIN, OR TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IN SHORT, UH, A LICKED PROJECT OR LOW-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT.
AND MR. BALL'S HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT, BUT TO MY UNDERSTANDING, THE DEVELOPER OR AN OWNER OF THE PROJECT, UH, IS ALLOWED TO SELL TAX BOND BONDS, PRIVATE BONDS THAT ARE THEN PURCHASED BY CORPORATIONS THAT THEN USE THAT TO BUY DOWN THEIR TAX LIABILITY, THEIR FEDERAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY, THAT MONEY IS THEN USED TO IMPROVE THE PROPERTY.
UH, AND IN THIS CASE, UH, IN THE PRESENTATION THAT MR BALL'S GONNA MAKE ON PAGE, I THINK IT'S PAGE 11 OF THE PRESENTATION AND OUTLINES THE CHANGES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE.
I, MY DISCUSSIONS WITH MR. BALL, UH, MY, I EXPRESSED THE CITY'S, UH, CONCERNED ABOUT SOME OF THE LESS SAVORY ISSUES THAT OCCUR IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, AND DEVELOPMENT.
UH, HE THINKS THAT THEY THERE, THEY WERE WILLING TO MANAGEMENT AND EXPRESSED THEIR WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH US ON THOSE.
UH, I ALSO EXPRESSED OUR CONCERN ABOUT THE PROPERTY TAX VALUATION ASSESSMENT AND LIABILITY, WHICH HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR OUR CITY.
FOR THE PAST TWO FISCAL CYCLES.
I WAS UNABLE TO ASCERTAIN, I'VE ASKED THE COUNTY, I'VE ASKED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER WHAT IMPACT THIS MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT HAVE ON THE TAXABLE VALUATION OF THE PROPERTY AT HAND.
I WISH I HAD BETTER INFORMATION OR MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU ON THAT FRONT.
I CAN SAY THAT THE, UH, THE PROPOSED CHANGES THAT THEY ARE MAKING THE $15.6 MILLION IN IMPROVEMENTS, I THINK WOULD HELP, POTENTIALLY MITIGATE SOME OF, OR REDUCE SOME OF THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY WE SEE IN THAT AREA.
BUT I WILL DEFER TO MR. BOGEL, LET HIM SPEAK ON BEHALF OF WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO DO.
ACTUALLY, UH, MR. SNIPES DID ASK ME ABOUT TAXES AND I TOLD HIM THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO DECREASE.
I WON'T SAY THAT THERE WILL, BUT THERE SHOULD BE NO DECREASE IN WHAT THE CITY WERE AND IN THE COUNTY.
WELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT IN REFERENCE TO THE OTHER APARTMENT, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS WOULDN'T BE DIFFERENT.
[01:50:01]
SAID, MY CONCERN IS THAT THE OTHER APARTMENTS SEEM TO BE PLAYING CONSIDERED WITH LOWER PROPERTY TAX VALUE THAN OTHER PEOPLE.AND I'M CONCERNED WITH ANOTHER ONE DOING THE SAME THING.
I'VE BEEN IN THIS QUITE A LONG TIME, AND I'VE NOT SEEN THAT HAPPEN TO AN APPLICATION LIKE THIS.
AND THIS IS A, A NON-COMPETITIVE APPLICATION.
UH, THERE COULD BE OTHER TAX CREDIT.
THIS IS A NON-COMPETITIVE APPLICATION.
AND IT IS REALLY TO FIX THESE HOUSES UP, TO PROVIDE GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, STAINLESS STEEL, NEW APPLIANCES.
THE PROPERTY WAS GOOD AT, IN, I BELIEVE 2017.
AND THEN ALL THE PRE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOUGHT THE PROPERTY RIGHT AFTER THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WORK WAS POORLY DONE.
AND SO THEY IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND REPLACED THE AIR CONDITIONING.
AND NOW WE'RE PLANNING TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP IN THIS PHASE OF SPENDING 30 SOMETHING THOUSAND DOLLARS PER APARTMENT.
WE ACTUALLY INTEND TO COME BACK AND SPEND MORE IN ANOTHER PHASE, BUT IN THIS PHASE WHERE WE'RE SHOOTING AT A $30,000 INCREASE.
AND, UH, I DON'T, I DON'T BELIEVE HONESTLY THAT I'VE EVER SEEN THE, UH, THE TEXAS GO DOWN ON A PROPERTY LIKE THIS.
UH, IT'S PRETTY MUCH INCOME BASED THIS, IT HASN'T BEEN OVER THE PAST YEARS.
THIS IS NOT A, A CHODO APPLICATION.
IT'S NOT A COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION.
THE TEXAS SHOULD STAY WITH WHERE THEY ARE, MR. ROCK.
AND HE COULD EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMPETITIVE AND NON-COMPETITIVE APPLICATION OF WATCHING A COMPETITIVE VERSUS A NON-COMPETITIVE.
A NON-COMPETITIVE APPLICATION IS ONE THAT, UH, WHEN YOU APPLY FOR IT, THE APPLICATION IS ACCEPTED AS IT IS OR WHERE IT IS.
THE ONLY THING THAT WE WOULD NEED PROBABLY, UH, ALONG WITH YOUR RESOLUTION IS SOME CITY SUPPORT.
THEY LIKE TO SEE A LOT OF RECOMMENDED DONATIONS FOR AN APPLICATION AND, AND WE VERY WELL NEED TO GET OUR CONGRESSMAN AND OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE.
AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOME OF THE CITIZENS HERE IN THE COUNTY, MAYBE EVEN ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE MAYOR AND MR. SNIPES OR, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL BOARD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT IT'S, IT'S NOT BASED ON THE POINTS LIKE THE 9% IS THE 9% IS BASED ON THE POINTS ALLOCATED, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR THAT AREA AND HOW CLOSE TO THE MAX POINTS YOU CAN GET, WHETHER YOU GET IT OR NOT.
AND, UH, YOU CAN HAVE A REALLY GOOD APPLICATION IN A 9% APPLICATION.
DOESN'T GET THE POINTS BECAUSE OF WHERE IT'S LOCATED OR WHO SUPPORTS IT.
AND, UH, SO IT'LL FAIL THIS, THIS ONE WILL NOT FAIL.
IF WE'RE ABLE TO JUST GET THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT THAT WE NEED FOR YOU, IT'LL, IT'LL BE AWARDED.
AND THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE ON, ON THESE PROPERTIES OVER HERE.
YOU WANT TO TAKE US THROUGH YOUR PRESENTATION? WELL, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT WE, UH, UH, SENT YOU OUT THIS SHEET WITH WHAT WE'RE INTENDING TO DO.
WE'RE INTENDING TO DO A LARGE PARKING LOT REPLACEMENT REPAIRS.
WE'RE GOING TO DO A NEW CAR PORTS FOR THE PROPERTIES.
WE'RE GOING TO DO PROPERTY, FENCE AND GATES.
WE'RE GOING TO DO EXTERIOR PAINTS AND REPAIRS.
AND, UH, I DROVE THROUGH THERE THIS AFTERNOON AND LOOKED AT THEM AND IT'S QUITE A BIT OF OUTSIDE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE TO THEM.
UH, WE'RE GOING TO DO LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS, DUMPSTER, ENCLOSURES, AND FENCED IN AREAS WITH, UH, SWINGING GATES THAT LOCK.
WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A NEW MAINTENANCE SHOP TO, UH, BETTER MAINTAIN THE PROPERTIES THERE.
WE'RE GOING TO DO SIDEWALK REPAIRS, THE SIDEWALK, SOME OF THEM ARE IN BAD SHAPE AND WE WILL REPAIR ALL OF THOSE.
WE'RE GOING TO DO A LAUNDRY ROOM, A RENOVATION, UH, WE'RE GOING TO CONVERT THE PRESENT GOLF CART, A ROOM INTO A ROOM, INTO A LAUNDRY ROOM.
WE'RE GOING TO DO ROOF REPAIRS WHERE NEEDED, UH, MOST OF THE ROOFS ARE GOOD.
THEY'RE SEVEN YEARS OLD, BUT THEY ARE SOME PLACES WHERE THEY HAVE WIND DAMAGE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED.
WE'RE GOING TO, UH, UH, DO AN INSTALLATION OF A SPORT COURT, A RECREATIONAL AREA FOR THE RESIDENTS.
WE'RE GOING TO, UH, ACTUALLY DO THE UPGRADE, THE FINISHES, THE GRANITE COUNTERTOPS WITH BACKSPLASHES STAINLESS APPLIANCES, UPGRADED
[01:55:01]
LIGHTING, FAUCETS, FIXTURES, AND HARDWARE.IT'S QUITE EXTENSIVE TO ADD TO THE 27 20 8 MILLION THAT'S JUST BEEN SPENT ON IT TO MAKE A REALLY BETTER, SAFER, A BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL, A PLACE FOR OUR RESTAURANTS TO LIVE.
AND IT'S GOING TO BE, UH, READY TO THE COMMUNITY IN HOW IT'S GOING TO BE KEPT UP.
MY QUESTION WAS, DID I READ ON THERE THAT OLIVE TREE WAS THE ONE THAT HAD IT PURCHASED IT? YES, SIR.
AND MISMANAGED IT ALL THE TREE BOUGHT IT FROM THE MISMANAGED OR, OKAY.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO READ.
SO OLIVE TREE PURCHASED IT FROM THE PREVIOUS BAD MANAGEMENT PLACE.
BECAUSE I WAS PUTTING THEM TOGETHER, SO I GOT IT.
WELL, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
HOW ARE YOU SPENDING GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD? SO HOW MUCH MONEY DO Y'ALL HAVE TO GO INTO THIS OR Y'ALL JUST DO IT SAYING THIS IS DEPENDENT ON IF YOU CAN SELL THIS MANY PRIVATE BONDS, HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE READY, AVAILABLE TO START THIS? I MEAN, ARE YOU JUST COUNTING ON THE PRIVATE BONDS OR DO YOU HAVE A SET OF PARENTS WEEKEND? WELL, WE'RE ACTUALLY MAINTAINING WHATEVER HE DOES.
WE'RE NOT WAITING ON ANYTHING.
YOU DON'T WANT DOWN THE BARRIER RIGHT NOW, BUT, UH, THIS IS NOT A LONG TERM.
UH, THE
ONCE YOU ENTER INTO DISAGREEMENT, YOU PURCHASE THOSE BONDS OR SELL THOSE BONDS OR THE TAX CREDITS FOR THE BONDS YOU'RE REQUIRED TO, TO CONTROL THE RENT OR MAKE ENSURE THE AFFORDABLE.
THE RED WILL BE OFF FOR 60% AND BELOW OF MEDIUM INCOME.
I KNOW THE MEDIAN INCOME IS NOT AS HIGH HERE AS IT IS IN SOME AREAS.
THE RENTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE GREAT, BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY FILLING A NEED OR A BACK 120 APARTMENTS HERE THAT THOSE COULD BE HOMELESS IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PLACE LOWER THAN REGULAR RICHARD GOT SO HIGH MARK, WELL, $3,000 MORE FOR APARTMENTS DOWN THE, YOU KNOW, AN AFFORDABLE FIGURE THAT, AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING BET THERE'S LIVE.
THE MORE THOSE APPLICANTS ARE.
THOSE RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE BETTER A LITTLE BIT MORE TIGHTLY THAN WHAT'S CURRENTLY DONE.
AND I'LL ALSO, UH, ABOUT, ABOUT ACTIVE.
UM, WE ACTUALLY HAVE RETIRED POLICE HIRE, UH, AND, UH, HE'S GOING TO MAN, WHATEVER LAW ENFORCEMENT WE NEED THERE AND TOLD ME.
AND IT'S A QUESTION A FEW DAYS AGO, I TALKED WITH HER ABOUT PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE THAT ACTUALLY DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE, OF THE LAWRENCE
AND YOU HAVE SOMEONE THAT LIVES THERE DOES ABIDE BY IT.
THAT CAN BE A BIG BARRIER OF THAT DOOR.
AND, UH, WE WANT A REALLY GOOD CLEAN OPERATION OVER THERE.
AND FUNCTIONING WOULD BE A GOOD CITIZEN FOR PUTTING THIS IS ALL FOR YOUR GOOD, WE HAVE TWO OTHER LOW INCOME.
YOU DID WELL, YOU'VE GOT TWO OTHER THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY DEDICATED, WILLING TO COME.
YOU'VE GOT BROWSE AND SPOON, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT COSTA VERDE KOSHER.
AND DO WE KNOW AROUND, LIKE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE CITY IS TARGETED TOWARDS THAT 60% BELOW MEDIAN WAGE, OR MAYBE EVEN IN THE BRAZOSPORT AREA? I DON'T HAVE A POPULATION NUMBER THAT WOULD BE BELOW THAT TOO.
WHEN YOU SAY BELOW 60%, OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A SET NUMBER OF, OF INDIVIDUALS.
I WOULD ASSUME THAT 40% OR 60% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION
[02:00:01]
MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE IF THEY'RE MORE OF THAT NUMBER, BUT I DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC NUMBERS.DO YOU HAVE A POPULATION ESTIMATE? OKAY.
WE HAVEN'T CHIEF COMPARED TO OTHER APARTMENTS IN OUR CITY TO THE, TO OUR LOWER INCOME, UH, AREA APARTMENTS, WHAT WOULD, WHAT'S THE INCREASE IN POLICE CALLS THAT WE GET? OR JUST THE ESTIMATED I, I WILL TELL YOU THAT CURRENTLY THE LIFE APARTMENTS ARE OUR MOST FREQUENT IN PLACE THAT WE PATROL THAT WE ANSWERED CALLS THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
UM, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, A COUPLE OF THINGS OF NORMALLY WHEN, WHEN YOU ADD VALUE TO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, YOU'RE ATTRACTING DIFFERENT CLIENTELE TO WHERE THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY ATTRACTING DIFFERENT CLIENTELE, BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL GONNA HAVE THAT SAME CLIENTELE, JUST BETTER, UH, APARTMENTS, WHICH WOULD BE GREAT.
UM, I WILL TELL YOU THAT AGAIN, I THINK ANYTHING THAT, THAT BETTERS THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX MONEY THAT CAN BE PUT INTO IT, UM, IS GOING TO HELP THE CITY.
UM, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT PART IS GOING TO, I'M GOING TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST AND ANYBODY THAT KNOWS ME IT'S GETS ME IN TROUBLE.
I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE FIXED THE MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HAVING ISSUES ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING CONTINUED TO ALLOW TO BE LIVING THERE.
EVEN THOUGH WE END UP AT THOSE SAME APARTMENTS, DEALING WITH THOSE SAME PEOPLE OVER, AND THERE'S NO EVICTION PROCESS, THERE'S NO VETTING PROCESS.
AND I, I WANT TO MAKE SURE, JUST BECAUSE I WANT COUNCIL TO HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE RETIRED GENTLEMAN, RETIRED POLICE OFFICER, IF IT'S THE SAME ONE THAT'S BEEN DOING THIS.
I, AND I LIKE, TREY'S A NICE GUY, BUT WHEN WE SAY FROM THE AREA TRACE FROM PASADENA, SO IT LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, AND TREY HANDLES NUMEROUS OF THE COMPLEX AS HE DOESN'T JUST HANDLE THIS ONE, HE HANDLES NUMEROUS.
THEY DO EMPLOY IT IS TO AGAIN, GIVE YOU A COMPLETE BACKGROUND.
THEY DO EMPLOY OFF DUTY OFFICERS.
MY FOLKS WORKED THERE OFF DUTY AS EXTRA SECURITY BECAUSE THERE IS A NEED FOR THAT.
AND THEY DO INVEST THAT MONEY.
THEY HAVE INVESTED MONEY INTO, UM, SECURITY CAMERAS, THAT TYPE OF THING.
WE, THE, THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT THE BUILDINGS.
IT'S NOT THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO DO.
AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT THE CITY.
WE'VE JUST GOT TO BE BETTER OF HANDLING THE INDIVIDUALS.
THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE OUR PROBLEMS. ABSOLUTELY.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH LIKE TWO YEARS, NOT A BIG ONE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE MOVED OUT AND YOU CAN'T MOVE THEM OUT, BUT THAT FOR, SO WE'RE INTO A NEW AREA AND A NEW PHAGE NOW WHERE WE CAN WORK WITH YOU CLOSELY AND GET TO SEE.
AND, UH, AND WE'LL THIS, EMILY, YOU HAVE MY PROMISE THAT WE WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH MR. SNIPES AND MS. VAUGHN HERE, THE COUNCIL LADY TO THAT AREA, WE'LL ALSO WORK WITH YOU.
THE, UH, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO USE, UH, HIS PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY.
EVEN MORE OF THEM FOR A WHILE.
ANOTHER QUESTION IS, IS THERE GOING TO BE A EXTRA VETTING PROCESS TOWARDS NEW PEOPLE COMING INTO THE CONFLICT? THE ACTUALLY THAT MIGHT BE A NEW ONE COMPARED TO WHAT THEY'RE GOING BY NOW, BECAUSE THE ONE THAT WE WILL BE USING, AS SOON AS THIS GOES THROUGH, COMES FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS, WE HAVE TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO GET THESE FUNDS TO GO BY THERE.
THEIR RESTRICTIONS AND GUIDELINES MAY BE DIFFERENT AND IMPROVED BEST OF WHAT IT'S BEING USED THERE.
AND DECLARE TO CLARIFY, DOES THAT PROCESS, OR DOES THAT POLICY INCLUDE AS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ILLEGAL AND ILLICIT SUBSTANCES? IT DOES INCLUDE ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE AND OTHER KEY ON THE GROUND.
[02:05:01]
THE ONCE THOSE, UH, ONCE THE, ONCE THE EXTRA VETTING GOES THROUGH, YOU KNOW, YOU GO THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS, THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T COME UNDER THOSE REGULATIONS AND RULES, ARE THEY GOING TO BE OKAY? I'VE TALKED WITH MS. VAUGHN ABOUT THIS SAME THING.SHE HAS HAD THE SAME QUESTION.
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE NOW? DO THEY HAVE TO BE FREE? THEY DO NOT.
THAT IS A GUIDELINE FROM, BUT ONCE THEY'RE THERE, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE RESTRAINED, BUT FOR VIOLATIONS.
SO, UH, BY THE, UH, UH, UH, ABOUT 85% ABOUT THEM, I THINK WE GET THROUGH WITH THESE OTHER THINGS, YOU'LL BE UP 95, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT.
AND YOUR, YOUR APARTMENT ALSO, THIS WILL BE AN ADDITIONALLY INCREASING IN FAVOR OF THE PROPERTY THERE AND GOING THROUGH IT, TAKING CARE OF ANY OF THE REST OF THEIR VIOLATING THAT RIGHT NOW, WHEN, WHEN ITEM THAT, UH, MR. SNIPES TALKED ABOUT AT THE BEGINNING THAT CAUSES SOME CONFUSION IS THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET, UH, UH, EASY FINANCING OR BE ABLE TO GET MONEY SO THEY CAN COME IN AND MAKE A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW THAT WOULD AFFECT THE TAX VALUE BECAUSE THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT CAN APPRAISE ON DIFFERENT METHODS.
RIGHT? SO IF THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT WAS JUST LIKE THEY USED TO IN THE OLD DAYS, THEY WOULD JUST APPRAISED BASED ON VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.
THEN IF YOU IMPROVE THE PROPERTY, THE VALUE WOULD JUST NATURALLY GO UP.
BUT WE'VE SEEN RECENTLY WHERE, UH, THEY DID APPRAISAL BASED ON THE INCOME, RIGHT? AND SO IF YOU HAVE A PROPERTY THAT JUST ISSUED A LOT OF DEBT, IT HAS OVERHEAD DEBT, THEN THEIR ACTUAL INCOME COULD BE MUCH LOWER.
SO THEN, UH, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE NOT CERTAIN ABOUT.
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT, HOW THEY'LL APPRAISE IT, BUT THEY, THE VALUE COULD ACTUALLY GO LOWER BECAUSE NOW THEY HAVE A MUCH LARGER EXPENSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS BIG DEBT THAT THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOW.
IT'S, IT'S, IT'S CHEAP, IT'S A CHEAP, UM, INTEREST RATES IT'S LOW INTEREST TO.
AND THE, AND THE PLAN IS LET'S IMPROVE THE HOUSING FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING, UH, CUSTOMERS, RIGHT.
BUT, UH, THE UNKNOWN, HOW IT WILL AFFECT THE TAX, UH, BASE FOR THE CITY IS, IS THE APPRAISAL GOING TO SAY, HEY, YOU PUT $28 MILLION IN THIS APARTMENT.
WE'RE GOING TO RAISE THE VALUE 28 MILLION.
AND WE'RE GOING TO GET A LOT OF TAXES AT IT, OR ARE THEY GOING TO SAY, HEY, WE'RE DOING AN INCOME APPROACH.
AND NOW YOU HAVE $28 MILLION OF DEBT.
AND SO NOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PAY ANY TAXES.
AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE REALLY UP TO THE PRESSURE THAT WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'LL GO ABOUT DOING IT.
AND THEN THERE'S SOME OTHER PART ABOUT TRANSFER OF TRACK TAX CREDITS THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO SELL TAX CREDITS OR TRANSFER THEM.
AND THAT MAKES THE BONDS MORE ATTRACTIVE.
AND THAT'S EVEN A LITTLE MORE CONFUSING OF HOW THAT AFFECTS THEIR BOTTOM LINE.
BUT THE RENTERS ARE GOING UP, UH, BLACK CITY IN FAVOR OF, RIGHT? YEAH.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT, I'M A FIT.
IF I'D HAD MISUNDERSTAND YET, YOU SAID Y'ALL WERE GOING FROM 85 TO 35, WHICH IS A TEMPERATURE INCREASE.
IT'S THE APARTMENT RENT IS GOING UP, BUT IT'S RAISED THE, THIS LAST WEEK, THEY RAISED UP A LITTLE BIT AND THERE, YOU KNOW, THIS PLACE, GENERIC PERIOD DEGREES AND NORMAL TIME, THEY GONE UP FOR THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, BUT IT'S TAX DOLLARS.
AND SO I DON'T WANT, I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO GET ON MY SOAP BOX HERE AGAIN, BECAUSE THE REALITY OF IT IS HOW MANY MILLION DOLLARS Y'ALL WANT TO SPEND ON HIS PLATE, 1528.
SO THAT $15 MILLION IS GOING TO COME OFF THE COST OPERATIONS, WHICH MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOWER BASIS OF INCOME PROFITS.
SO THEREFORE YOU'RE GOING TO END UP PAYING LESS TAXES.
AND WHAT I PAY ON MY HOUSE, WELL, THE 4% TAX CREDIT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PAID THAT THE BOND ISSUE.
AND I THINK YOU'RE JUST CONFIRMING MY POINT.
UH, BUT ANYWAY, I THINK I GET WHERE WE'RE AT ON.
I THINK THOUGH THAT IF THE RENTS WILL, THEY, AT LEAST WHERE THEY ARE, ARE HIGHER WITH THE FACTORS THAT ARE INVOLVED HERE.
TRUTH IS PROBLEM LANDS WITH THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT NOT USE.
I ENDED UP IN THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT PAPER.
IT HAS TO BE NEGOTIATING WITH THEM.
YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? NOT, UNLESS YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
WE HAVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 31 DASH 2022 ON THE FLOOR FOR APPROVAL.
OR MY SECRETARY THEY'LL HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE
[02:10:01]
RESOLUTION 31 DASH 21.THAT WAS THAT GOING TO, IT APPEARS THAT THIS ITEM WILL FAIL FOR LACK OF SECOND.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 2021 DASH 20 TWITTER.
I THINK THAT'S THE TYPE OF IT SHOULD BE 2022 DASH.
OH, WELL, THE 22 DASH OH ONE ONE.
AND IT WOULD BE AN ORDER TO THE CITY CLERK, GEORGIA COUNTY, TEXAS COULD TELL TO FIND THE FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW.
I'M GOING TO DO THE COMPREHENSIVE, THE ONLY DOOR TO CITY CITY TO PERMIT A SPECIFIC VIEWS OF LOCKED RESERVE, A MATURE MARKETPLACE SUBDIVISION.
YEAH, YOU GO SURVEY ABSTRACT 66 AND ROY COUNTY DETECTIVES ARE WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF SAID CITY LOCATED ON THE CORNER AT THE CORNER OF DIXIE DRIVE.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE OR
THE BLACKS ARE PRETTY HIGH PROFITS, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO DRAG.
WE'LL HAVE TO CLEAN COAL, UH, HAVE BOTH OF THEM THE SECOND PAINTING, NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
ALL IN FAVOR UNANIMOUS WE'LL HAVE NEW CARWASH FLU.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT OR DOSE NUMBER 2020 2 0 1 2.

IN THE EVENT OF BARCELONA LIBERTY TO PROVIDING THE DISORDER SHALL TAKE EFFECT AND BE ENFORCED IN DAYS AFTER PRESIDENT APPROVAL, I WOULD CONSIDER A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2022 DASH 12 WRITTEN SECONDED BY COUNCILOR QUILTS DISCUSSION.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE CONSIDERATION OF BOB MALACHI TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2022 DASH HUNDRED 13.
AND IT WOULD BE AN ORDER TO THE CITY COUNTY, TEXAS CONTAINING FINDINGS OF FACTS OF LAW AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO CHANGE THE ZONING CHARACTER CLASSIFICATION THAT TRACKS 5 6, 2 8 2 THROUGH 56, 56 OR YOUTUBE THROUGH 56 COLLEGE PARK STAYS COMMERCIAL RESERVE BEING I WAS 11 OR 12.
