Nov 13, 2025 Joint Public Hearing &amp; Regular Council Meeting

ALRIGHT, NEXT ITEM WOULD BE THOSE OPPOSED TO THE REZONE.

FIRST ITEM IS TO READ LETTERS FROM THOSE OPPOSED TO THE REZONE.

I HAVE NONE IN THE PACKAGE.

THEN THE NEXT LI ITEM WOULD BE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE PRESENT THAT'S OPPOSED TO THE REPL.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT US, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD? BECAUSE WE, THE ONE GOT THE LETTER MIGHT MS. SUSAN JOHNSON.

HOW IS THAT GONNA AFFECT LEWIS STREET? THE ONES OF US THAT GOT THE LETTER? WOULD THE INSURANCE BE OFF OF THE, UM, THE SO ARE FOR OFF THE FRONTAGE ROAD, OR WOULD IT BE GOING DOWN LEWIS STREET SHOULD BE THE ENTRANCE? NO, THE INTENT WOULD BE THE, UH, THE INTENT I THINK OF THE CURRENT OWNER IS TO HAVE THE FRONTAGE OFF 3 32 AND ANY PROSPECTIVE SALE WOULD PROBABLY BE ALSO OFF 3 32.

IT'S ALREADY ZONED CC ONE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL USE ON THAT TRACK.

SO ANYBODY THAT BUYS IT HAS THE RIGHT TO ACCESS IT AND USE IT AS A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

SO, UH, IN THEORY THEY COULD COME OFF OF LEWIS, BUT I BELIEVE THE INTENT IS TO BRING IT OFF 3 32 IS THAT THEY ALL UNDERSTAND.

NO, WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I'M, YEAH.

SO IF YOU, IF YOU, IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT PROPERTY, THEY'RE AT THE END OF LEWIS.

IT'S ALREADY ZONED C ONE.

SO IT'S ALREADY ALLOWS FOR COMMERCIAL USE.

SO IF ANYBODY BOUGHT IT TODAY, NOT WITH THE ZONE CHANGE, THEY WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO PUT A BUSINESS THERE REGARDLESS.

CHANGE TO THE ZONING FROM C ONE TO C TWO, WHICH ALLOWS FOR MORE PERMISSIBLE USES.

AND SO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR IS A MINOR

[00:10:01]

THEY COULD DO A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS IN C TWO AS OPPOSED TO C ONE.

BUT I BELIEVE THE INTENT IS, AND MR. BROWN CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IS TO ENHANCE THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY FRONTING ON 3 32 BY HAVING THE ZONE BE UNIFORM.

SO IT'S ALL C ONE OR ALL C TWO INSTEAD OF ALL CA MIX OF C ONE AND C TWO.

OKAY? AND SO, YOU KNOW, UNDER THE LAW, ANYTIME THERE'S A ZONING CHANGE, THEY CHANGE THE ZONING FROM ONE ZONING USED TO ANOTHER.

UNDER THE LAW.

EVERYBODY WITHIN 200 FEET OF THAT PROPERTY, UH, WE GIVE Y'ALL NOTICE, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT, UH, YOU THINK THAT THAT CHANGE OF ZONING WOULD AFFECT YOUR PROPERTY IN A BAD WAY AND YOU, YOU'RE AGAINST IT FOR SOME REASON, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

UH, THEN YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME FORWARD AND MAKE SURE AND LET THE COUNCIL KNOW THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE EITHER FOR IT OR YOU'RE AGAINST IT, OR YOU'RE NEUTRAL, RIGHT? YOU MAY SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, THE BUSINESS IS GONNA COME FROM 3 32, NOT FROM LEWIS STREET, SO THAT'S REALLY NOT GONNA BOTHER US.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE NEUTRAL.

WE DON'T REALLY CARE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

OR YOU MIGHT SAY, HEY, YOU HAVE SOME CONCERN ABOUT HOW IT WILL AFFECT YOUR HOUSE OR YOUR PROPERTY, AND THEN THIS IS YOUR TIME TO TELL THE COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE FOR IT OR YOU'RE AGAINST IT OR YOU'RE JUST NEUTRAL.

BUT THAT'S WHY YOU GOT THE LETTER BECAUSE AS A CITIZEN, YOU HAVE A RIGHT.

TO KNOW MM-HMM .

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

ASSEMBLY HALLS AND AUTOMOBILE PARKING AREAS.

AND THANK YOU FOR THAT BECAUSE I THINK HE, UH, OKAY, MY NAME IS WILLIE IAN AND I ALSO LIVE ON, UH, YOU KNOW, LEWIS STREET.

UH, ALL OF THIS WOULD, YOU'RE SAYING WHENEVER THEY START BUILDING ARE THE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE, THEIR, WELL, I WOULDN'T THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WHILE THEY'RE BUILDING THAT THEY WOULD HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, HEAVY TRUCKS COMING DOWN, DOWN OUR ROAD, YOU KNOW, AND ALL THAT.

BUT STILL, ANOTHER QUESTION IS THE, UH, HOW IS IT GONNA AFFECT OUR TAXES, YOU KNOW, ON OUR PROPERTY? IS IT GONNA INCREASE OR WE, YOU KNOW, SO I I WE DON'T REPRESENT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

YOU'VE HAD A COMMERCIAL PIECE OF PROPERTY THERE.

AS LONG AS THERE'S BEEN ZONING, AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I MAY BE WRONG, BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ZONED THE SAME WAY.

SO THE, THE PRESUMPTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT THAT WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL TRACT.

I DON'T KNOW, I CAN'T QUANTIFY WHAT THE, OR I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT ANY AMOUNT OF INCREASE OR DECREASE WOULD BE.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT AS WE GET MORE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ONLINE, IT'S TAXED BECAUSE THE VALUE THERE IS HIGHER.

I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA HURT OR HELP YOU.

IT MAY END UP BEING TOTALLY NEUTRAL FOR YOU, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S AN APPRAISAL DISTRICT ISSUE.

THE CITY REALLY DOESN'T KNOW HOW YOUR, YOUR, YOUR VALUATION WILL BE, BE DETERMINED, BUT THE FACT THAT IT'S ALREADY AN EXISTING C ONE ZONE TELLS ME THAT THEY'VE ALREADY CALCULATED THAT INTO THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME.

HEY DAVE, WHAT WOULD IT HELP FOR THEM? IF YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE IN BETWEEN A C ONE? YES, SIR.

THAT'S PROBABLY A GREAT IDEA.

IT'S ALREADY A C ONE, RIGHT? SO I'LL, I'LL DEFER TO THE ATTORNEY WHO HAS HIS PHONE, RIGHT? OH, SO, UH, THE C ONE AND, AND I DON'T HAVE TO LIST IN FRONT OF ME, SO I'M SORRY YOU CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD AS FAR AS, BUT GENERALLY THE C ONE IS NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, RIGHT? SO NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL IS TYPICALLY LIKE, UM, UH, LAUNDRYMAT.

WHAT'S THAT? LAUNDROMAT, YEAH, LAUNDROMAT, CONVENIENCE STORE, SHOE STORE, UM, UH, LOCAL RETAIL TYPE OF, UM, BUSINESS, RIGHT? A C TWO WOULD BE, UH, NOT INDUSTRIAL, RIGHT? SO C TWO'S NOT GONNA BE AN INDUSTRIAL USE, BUT IT'S GONNA BE, UH, MORE COMMERCIAL.

THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT CATEGORY THAT MAYBE NOT TYPICALLY FITS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AREA, RIGHT? SO IF YOU LOOK AT MAYBE, UM, UM, UH, PLUMBING SUPPLY OR ELECTRICAL SUPPLY PLACE AS, AS WAS, UH, MR. BROWN REMARKED, UH, YOU ALREADY HAVE A AUTO REPAIR PLACE, SO AUTO REPAIR WOULD PROBABLY BE A C TWO.

UM, AND THEN, AND IT, YOU KNOW, SO ALTHOUGH WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, RIGHT? IT, IT'S MR. BROWN STATED THE GENERAL PLAN IS WHATEVER THAT BUSINESS IS GONNA BE, IT'S GONNA BE A BUSINESS THAT APPEALS TO PEOPLE TURNING OFF THE HIGHWAY OF 3 32 AND GOING INTO THE BUSINESS THERE.

UH, IT'S NOT, UM, THIS, GO AHEAD.

I WAS GONNA SAY THE SPECIFIC USES THAT ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED ON THAT SITE WOULD BE RETAIL AND PERSONAL SERVICES, SHOPS, BOUTIQUES, DRY CLEANERS, SALONS, OTHER PERSONAL SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS.

THANK YOU, ROSIE.

ALRIGHT, UH, FOOD AND BEVERAGE, RESTAURANTS, CAFES, CONVENIENCE STORES, GAS STATIONS, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, MEDICAL OR DENTAL OFFICES, BANKS AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL OFFICES.

LODGING, HOTELS, MOTELS, UH, OTHER USES AUDITORIUMS,

[00:15:01]

THE PROHIBITED USES WOULD BE MANUFACTURING AND WHOLESALE AND LARGE SCALE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES.

AND THEN FOR C TWO, EXCUSE ME, JUST ONE SECOND, LET ME PULL THIS UP.

C TWO WOULD ALLOW ANY PERMITTED USE IN THE C ONE DISTRICT AS WELL AS AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING, PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES OR SERVICE.

AUTOMOBILE AND AUTOMOBILE COMPONENT REPAIR, BOAT SALES CARPENTER AND CABINETRY SHOPS, CARPET CLEANING IF DUST PROOF AND THE DUST CATCHING WASHING SCOURING EQUIPMENT ARE PROVIDED.

ICE MANUFACTURERS DRIVE-IN MOVIE THEATERS, EQUIPMENT RENTAL FACILITIES, GARDEN CENTERS AND NURSERIES.

NEW OR USED CAR LOTS.

LUMBER YARD SERVICE STATION, SHEET METAL SHOP, STONE MONUMENT WORKS, RETAIL ONLY.

STORAGE WAREHOUSES INCLUDING MANY STORAGE AND SELF STORAGE WAREHOUSES.

A VETERINARY CLINIC OR BOARDING OR KEN OR KENNEL OR SMALL ANIMAL SHELTER, WHOLESALE COMMODITIES WAREHOUSE, AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, YARD ORIENTED BUSINESSES BY SPECIFIC USE, PERMIT ONLY HOTELS, PARKING LOTS, CONVENTION CENTER, HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE, AND ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL USE AS PROVIDED SUCH AS NOT SUCH USE AS NOT NOXIOUS OR OFFENSIVE BY REASON OF OMISSIONS OF ODORS, DUST SUIT, GAS, SMELL, FUMES OR VIBRATIONS, WHICH CAN BE SEEN SMELL, HURT OR FELT ON THE ADJOINING LAND OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

BUT EXCLUDING SUCH USES AS, AS ARE ENUMERATED INTO SECTION SEVEN, SUBPARAGRAPH A SUBPARAGRAPH TWO BELOW IN THE M1 M TWO DISTRICT PROVIDED HOWEVER, THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT MUST BE OBTAINED FOR ANY SUCH COMMERCIAL USE.

DOES THAT HELP CLEAR IT UP? BASICALLY, IT'S THE, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LARGE SCALE AND SMALL SCALE RETAIL WOULD BE THE, WOULD BE THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE.

WOULD THAT KIND OF GO DOWN THE LINE OF WAREHOUSE? YOU COULD PUT A WAREHOUSE IN C IN C TWO AND NOT IN C ONE.

WOULD THAT A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT? YES, SIR.

KIERAN RUSSELL, UH, ALSO LIVE ON LEWIS STREET.

UH, ME PERSONALLY, I, I DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT IT'S CLASSIFIED AS.

MY MAIN CONCERN IS JUST THE TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD, UH, ON LEWIS STREET SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE GRANDKIDS OUT THERE.

I HAVE AN AUTISTIC SON THAT LIKES TO PLAY OUT THERE, SO WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING BACK AND FORTH BECAUSE IT IS A SKINNY STREET TOO, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A NORMAL DOUBLE WIDE STREET.

IT'S GONNA BE ANY BUSINESS THAT'S RUNNING, THEY'RE GONNA BE COMING IN AND OUT ON 3 32.

WE HAVE CARS THAT PARK ON THE SIDE SOMETIMES YOU CAN BARELY EVEN GET IN BETWEEN THE CARS.

SO WE HAVE PEOPLE SPEEDING UP AND DOWN, YOU KNOW, I PERSONALLY WOULD NOT WANT THAT AND ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WORRIED.

MY AUTISTIC SON RUNS OFF JUST A LITTLE BIT AND THE CAR'S COMING 40 MILES PER HOUR DOWN THE STREET AND HITS HIM.

SO THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN.

IF, IF ALL THE TRAFFIC IS GOING FROM 3 32, THEN I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE.

IT'S THE TRAFFIC ON LEWIS STREET SPECIFICALLY THAT I'M CONCERNED WITH.

SURE.

AND I, AND THAT, AND THAT WAS THE QUESTION.

THAT WAS THE ONLY QUESTION, ONE OF THE ONLY QUESTIONS THAT I HAD FOR MR. BROWN, IF YOU HAVE ANY, YOU KNOW, IDEA OF IF ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, ENTRANCE IS GONNA BE ONLY THROUGH 3 32 OR DO YOU KNOW FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER OF WHAT HIS IDEAS ARE ON THAT? YEAH, I MEAN TYPICALLY IT IS, IT IS GOT FRONTAGE ON 3 32 AND THAT'S WHERE YOUR ANY KIND OF COMMERCIAL BUSINESS IS, IS THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ENTERED.

NOW YOU DO HAVE LEWIS THAT DEAD ENDS INTO THAT PROPERTY.

SO I MEAN, IT, IT, YOU COULD BE USED, BUT I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CITY WHAT WEIGHT LIMITS SIR OR ANYTHING ON THAT.

UH, AS FAR AS THAT'S A RESIDENTIAL STREET, MORE OR LESS SO.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE BUSINESSES ARE GONNA BE THERE, ARE GONNA BE ENTERING ON AND OFF OF 3 32.

SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I, THE WAY I SEE IT, I MEAN, I GUESS THEY AREN'T, AREN'T WE DEALING WITH ANOTHER MAJOR PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT DOESN'T HAVE TWO DIFFERENT ENTRANCES OR ONE ENTRANCE IN A SEPARATE EXIT YES.

FOR FIRE AND OTHER ISSUES.

WE ARE.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO, IN ANY WAY IF WE PASS THIS THAT YOU SAY YOU CAN'T USE LEWIS STREET? THERE'S NOT, IS THERE? THERE'S NOT.

NO SIR.

SO THESE PEOPLE HAVE A LEGIT CONCERN WITH BIG TRUCKS OR EVERYTHING COME IN 3 32, BUT HAVING TO HAVE A ROADWAY OPEN IS THE SAME CONCERN THAT YOU'VE HAD.

IS THERE, IS THERE SOME TYPE OF WEIGHT LIMIT ON THAT STREET? WELL, NO, I DON'T HAVE WEIGHT LIMITS ON THE CITY.

YEAH, WE, WE DO, BUT, BUT THE BIGGER QUESTION HERE IS, IS FIRE ACCESS AND EMERGENCY ACCESS.

AND SO WHAT, WHAT WE COULD DO IS ASK YOU AS, OR ASK THE, WHOEVER IT BUYS THE PROPERTY TO INSTALL A NOX BOX IN A GATE TO PRECLUDE THAT TRUCK TRAFFIC FROM COMING THROUGH.

THERE'S NO OFFICIAL MECHANISM TO DO THAT, UH, OTHER THAN, YEAH, SO I MEAN, MAINLY

[00:20:01]

BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU AS FAR AS THE USES OF LEWIS, I MEAN, WHAT THE LIMITATIONS WOULD BE.

THE ONLY REASON I BRING THAT UP IS WE'RE DEALING IT WITH ME IN ANOTHER SITUATION.

SIMILAR.

I MEAN, I CAN UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE A BUNCH OF TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH THERE AND IT MORE THAN LIKELY WON'T BE, BUT BUT YOU CAN'T STOP IT.

I MEAN, OR CAN WE, I GUESS THAT'D BE UP TO THE CITY TO YEAH, WE, WE, WE'D BE LIMITED IN OUR ABILITY TO STOP IT.

WELL THE, IF I, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THE, THE MOLD OF THE HOME PARK THAT WENT OUT OVER HERE, THEY PUT A GATE, CORRECT.

THEY PUT A GATE UP FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO ENTER YES.

FROM THAT END OF THE PROPERTY.

SO WE WERE IN THAT CASE, WE HAD, WE HAD A MECHANISM TO HOLD 'EM ACCOUNTABLE.

IT WAS AN SP BILLY KENNING SEVERAL YEARS AGO, IF Y'ALL REMEMBER, A CHURCH TRIED TO GO IN THERE AND PEOPLE ON LEWIS STREET WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND THEY DECIDED NOT TO PUT THE CHURCH IN THERE BECAUSE OF ALL THE TRAFFIC THAT WAS BE GOING DOWN.

LEWIS, LEWIS IS A VERY SMALL STREET AND IT PROBABLY HAS A, A WEIGHT LIMIT ON IT FOR SURE.

I I WOULD, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FOR BIG TRUCKS, I GUARANTEE YOU THAT.

I WOULD NOTE ALSO THAT IN, IN THAT, IN THAT INSTANCE, SO THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY THAT'S IN QUESTION, UH, WAS A SEPARATE PARCEL AT THAT TIME.

UH, IT'S SINCE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE OWNER OF A PROPERTY WITH FRONTAGE ON 3 32.

AND THE IDEA IS, IS THAT THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY IS TIED TO THAT 3 32 FRONTAGE, UH, NOT THE LEWIS STREET ENTRANCE AND EXIT.

WHEN WE TALKED WITH THAT CHURCH WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT, THE IDEA WAS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE STREET IF THEY WERE GONNA TRY AND USE THAT AS THEIR PRIMARY AND ONLY ACCESS POINT.

UH, SO I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT TRAFFIC WON'T BE IMPACTED.

WE CAN WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER, WHOEVER THAT ENDS UP BUYING THE PROPERTY IS TO ENSURE THAT IT'S GATED AND THAT THAT AN OX BOX IS INSTALLED FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS.

BUT THAT'S, YES.

DAVID, UM, THE PAPERWORK THAT, THAT WE HAVE HERE SHOWS ALREADY THE LAND IS GONNA BE USED FOR ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.

IS THAT NOT, WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF IT? I MEAN THAT'S, WELL, SO WE ALL, WE CAN TALK ABOUT, I I GUESS IF THAT'S THE FINAL INTENDED USE, I DON'T KNOW THAT HIS SALE'S BEEN CLOSED.

THAT'D BE A QUESTION FOR MR. BROWN.

YEAH, I MEAN IF SORT OF LEAVING IT WIDE OPEN, IF YOU JUST SAYING, OKAY, WE DON'T HAVE ANY, ANY CHOICE OF WHAT TO PUT IN THERE.

BUT THE PAPERWORK, WHAT I'M READING, IT SAYS THAT THE LAST TIME WE LOOKED AT IT, IT SAID THE SAME THING, SAID AL SUPPLY.

SO I CAME TO THIS MEETING THINKING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING A, YOU KNOW, SOME, SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SUPPORT IN THERE, RIGHT? WITH A, SO THAT'S CHANGED.

NO, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S CHANGED.

MR. BROWN, IS IT STILL THE SAME BUYER OR ARE YOU STILL, UH, IT, IT'S KIND OF IN AIR RIGHT NOW, CHRIS.

SO CHRIS, WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THAT? WELL, SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REZONE AND A SUP, RIGHT? SO, UH, IF YOU DO THE REZONE AND YOU ZONE IT FROM C ONE TO C TWO, THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO WHATEVER IS ALLOWED IN C TWO.

IF, UH, YOU KNOW, ON SUP THIS, WE WOULD SAY, HEY, THIS IS A C ONE, BUT WE WANT TO DO A C TWO USE AND WE HAVE A SPECIFIC PLAN SPECIFIC BUSINESS AND WE'RE ASKING PERMISSION FOR AN EXCEPTION.

SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN, YOU GOTTA CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN YOU GET TO IT, RIGHT? YEAH.

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REZONE AND SUP, RIGHT? SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR A REZONE.

IF THE REZONE IS GRANTED, THEN THEY WILL BE ALLOWED TO DO ANYTHING UNDER C TWO.

CORRECT ME, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THEY, THE, THE RESIDENTS COULD COME TO THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION AND HAVE THAT, HAVE THAT STREET CL UH, DESIGNATED AS A NO TRUCK ZONE.

AND THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION, RIGHT? IF THERE, IF THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS ONLY TRAFFIC, THEN, UH, AS THE MAYOR JUST SAID THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION COULD CONSIDER THAT AND, AND MAKE IT A NOTE THROUGH TRUCK STREET BECAUSE IT'S A SMALL STREET.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE YET OR NOT, BUT THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER OPTION TOO.

BUT THAT REQUIRES A SECOND STEP.

I THINK.

UH, HE WAS REFERRING TO THAT WHEN THE CHURCH WAS GONNA TRY TO COME IN THERE, THAT WAS WHEN THAT PROPERTY DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACCESS TO 3 32.

UH, THE BUSINESS THAT'S THERE, HE'S WANTING TO EXPAND THAT.

AND IT DOES NOW.

AND SO,

[00:25:01]

AND THAT'S, HE'S AT THE BACK OF HIS PROPERTY THAT'S, THAT'S ZONED C TWO AND THAT FIVE ACRES PIECE IS HE'S PURCHASED AND SO HE'S GOT ACCESS TO 3 32.

SO IT'S, THAT'S THE REASON THAT CHURCH FAILED I'M ASSUMING, IS 'CAUSE THEY WERE GONNA HAVE TO GO UP AND DOWN LEWIS AND THAT WAS ON THEIR ACCESS.

BUT, UH, PLUS THEY PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY COULDN'T GET FINANCING OR NOT.

BUT ANYWAY, I NEED TO MAKE SURE I ADDRESS COUNCILMAN AGUILAR.

IF YOU'RE DOING A REZONE, WE CAN'T DO A REZONE WITH QUALIFICATIONS.

WE CAN'T DO REZONE WITH LIMITATIONS.

STRAIGHT REZONE.

AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

IF THEY CAME, IF THEY CAME TO US WITH THE SUP, THEN WE COULD HAVE RESTRICTIONS.

AND SO IF IT'S A SEPARATE TRACK AND A SEPARATE, WHENEVER THEY PLAN TO EXPAND OR IF THEY PLAN TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT, WE WON'T, HE WON'T HAVE TO GET SP IF IT'S REZO FOR C TWO, CORRECT.

RIGHT? CORRECT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

AND THEN WE WILL HAVE NO SAY IN THE MAP AND WHAT GOES IN THERE, WHAT CORRECT IF IT, AS LONG AS IT'S QUALIFIED FOR C TWO, THEY WOULDN'T NEED ANY SPECIAL PERMISSION OR BE REQUIRED TO COME BACK FOR PERMISSION.

WHENEVER WE MET ON THIS INITIALLY, UH, IT WAS DESCRIBED TO US THAT THIS ELECTRIC PLOW WAS GONNA BE BUILT, BUT IT WAS, IT WAS ENCROACHING IN THE C TWO.

SO JUST TO CLEAR UP THE, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING, GET IT ALL THE SAME YEAH.

IS WHY WE SENT IT TO Y'ALL, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE FAR AS WE, WHAT WE WERE PRESENTED WAS, THIS IS PERFECTLY ALRIGHT TO DO AND IT'S GONNA MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, WHERE IT'S, WHERE IT SHOULD BE WITH THE C2.

UH, WE NEVER REALLY DISCUSSED ABOUT THE LEWIS BECAUSE THAT DIDN'T REALLY COME INTO PLAY.

SO, SO IF YOU, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE LEWIS, UH, APPROACH IS ABOUT WHERE THE, UH, CALL IS ON THE, UH, WESTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, EASTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY ABOUT THE MIDPOINT.

BUT IF YOU TAKE A LOOK, SO I THINK THE LONG-TERM PLAN HERE IS, IS FOR THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO BEGIN USING THIS SPACE BEHIND THEM IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY LINE WHERE YOU SEE THE DISTANCE MARK NINE 9.01 BEHIND THAT IS CURRENTLY C ONE AND DOESN'T ALLOW FOR HIS USE OF THAT PROPERTY.

AND SO HE'S PURCHASED THE ENTIRE PIECE AND IS SEEKING TO CHANGE THE ZONING.

SO HE HAS THE BENEFIT OF USE OF THAT PROPERTY AND THEN THE ADJOINING PROPERTY NEXT DOOR, HE WOULD LIKE TO SUBDIVIDE AND SELL TO SOMEBODY ELSE NOW THAT IT HAS THE 3 32 FRONTAGE.

SO IS IT FAIR TO SAY TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS THAT HE REPLANT THAT LOT? WELL, HE HAS TO REZONE IT BEFORE HE REPLANTS IT UNDER OUR PROCESS.

THAT'S WHAT PROMPTED THE, THE INITIAL REQUEST WAS A REPL AND WE WERE LIKE, WELL IF YOU'RE GONNA REPL AND INTEND TO USE IT, YOU'VE ACTUALLY GOTTA REZONE IT FIRST UNDER OUR CHART, UNDER OUR ZONING ORDINANCES.

SO WE'VE GOTTA, WE'VE GOTTA REZONE ALL OF IT FOR HIM JUST TO REPL ONE PIECE OF IT.

BECAUSE IF HE, THE CASE STAYS TWO SEPARATE, IT'S TWO SEPARATE PROCESSES AND IT'S, IT'S VERY CONFUSING.

BUT WHEN YOU READ THE ORDINANCE, IT SAYS YOU CANNOT REPLANT A PROPERTY INTO TWO DIFFERENT ZONES.

AND BECAUSE HE'S GOT TWO DIFFERENT PIECES OF PROPERTY WITH TWO DIFFERENT ZONING STATUSES, HE'S GOTTA BRING THEM INTO COMPLIANCE, EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER.

AND OBVIOUSLY HIS BUSINESS CURRENTLY IS C TWO, BUT HE COULD REPL THIS C THIS, HE COULD REPLANT THIS ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME AND THEN COME BACK AND DO THAT NOW REPLANT IT TO C ONE C ONE.

AND THEN COME BACK AND GET ONE REZONED, ONE SINGLE PIECE ON THE LEFT SIDE CLOSEST TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

RIGHT NOW THAT WHOLE FIVE ACRES IS C NO ONE YES.

THE YEAH, THE THE BACK.

SO HE CAN REPLANT THAT C ONE BECAUSE IT, HE OWNS ALL OF IT.

THAT'S TRUE.

BUT I THINK, SO IF HE REPLANTED IT, THEN ONE END COULD STAY C ONE AND THE OTHER END OR VICE VERSA.

IF YOU'RE IN TWO ZONES, YOU GOT C TWO AND THEN C ONE.

UH, BUT I THINK HIS, WHEN THEY PROPOSED THIS, THE ORIGINAL INTENT WAS TO SUBDIVIDE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 3 32 CONTINGENT ON A SALE.

FROM WHAT I'M HEARING FROM THEM IS THAT'S NOT THE INTENT THEY WERE AWARE OF.

WELL, I THINK IT'S OR MISCOMMUNICATED MAYBE.

WELL, I THINK THE SALE HAS CHANGED IN THE INTERIM.

I'LL LET MR. BROWN, MR. BROWN, THE, THE PROPERTY OWNER WASN'T AVAILABLE THIS EVENING.

NO.

HE HAD SOMETHING ALREADY SET SCHEDULED.

SO, BUT UM, SO THAT PIECE IN THE FRONT, THAT'S UH, THAT'S C TWO THERE, THAT'S THE, THE 3 32 FRONTAGE MM-HMM .

AND THEN, BUT THEN, SO WE CAN'T REPL 3 32.

UM, I'M, YEAH, YOU CAN'T REPLAY UNTIL YOU,

[00:30:01]

SO THAT'S THE REASON WE HAD TO WAIT.

AND ALSO IF YOU LOOK BEHIND THAT PROPERTY ON WADE STREET, THERE IS ONE LOT THAT IS ZONED C TWO ALREADY.

SO YEAH, THERE'S LIKE TWO, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS DONE AND HOW LONG IT'S BEEN, BUT IT'S, I THINK IT'S THE SIXTH LOT DOWN OR SOMETHING.

THIS, IT'S IN FISH TWO AT THE END OF MOON STREET.

AND THEN HERES THIS, THE C TWO, THIS IS SOME, YEAH, THAT ONE RIGHT THERE.

ONE SIX LOT RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S, THAT'S C TWO.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN C TWO, BUT THAT IS, I MISS THE TJ OR WHATEVER.

AND THEN THIS IS JUST GRASS, ISN'T IT? BUT THIS IS, I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT REZO TOP WAS ALSO JUST GRASS.

THERE'S NOTHING BUILT THERE.

SO YOU GOT A C ONE IN BETWEEN C TWO TWO C TWO.

HE HAS ALREADY BOUGHT IT OR HE, HE ALREADY OWNS IT.

WE GOT, WE CAN'T GET MINUTES WITH EVERYBODY TALKING.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CONSIDERING.

FOR THE SAKE OF ROSIE TAKING MINUTES, WE NEED TO, SO I, I WOULD ALSO NOTE, SO WHEN THE APPLICATION WAS BROUGHT TO US, THERE WAS A PENDING SALE IN PLACE FOR AN ELECTRIC SUPPLY BUSINESS.

THE IDEA WAS IS THAT THE, UH, ON THE MAP, AS YOU CURRENTLY SEE IT, THERE'S A DRIVEWAY PERMIT ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THE SECTION MARK 1 9 2 1 9 7.

AND THEN HIS EXISTING DRIVEWAY AT 1 9 2 1 9 4.

THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A SHARED ACCESS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO LOTS ONCE SUBDIVIDED TO ALLOW FOR THE SALE OF THE REAR PROPERTY AS C TWO ON THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

AND THE WESTERN PORTION WOULD BE HELD BY THE CURRENT OWNER.

SO IN THEORY, IF YOU'VE GOT TWO DRIVEWAYS THAT GIVES YOU YOUR TWO POINTS OF ACCESS, ASSUMING THE, THE NEW OWNERS, THE, THE TWO PARTIES AGREE ON A CROSS ACCESS AGREEMENT, WHICH IS ACTUALLY MANDATED BY ORGANS NOW.

SO IT WOULD'VE AN ENTRANCE.

THIS, I'M SORRY, THE, THE 1 9 2 4 9 4 UHHUH .

THE DRIVEWAY.

THERE'S A DRIVEWAY THERE NOW.

YEAH, THE DEAD ENDS INTO THE BUILDING.

IT DOES.

AND SO THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONSTRUCT A CROSS ACCESS DRIVEWAY TO CONNECT THE TWO ENTRANCES TO GIVE THEM THEIR TWO ENTRANCES AS REQUIRED.

SEE IT ON GOOGLE EARTH.

I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH YOU HERE.

I WOULD TOO.

DEAD END STREET.

HOW COME ONES CAN'T BE A DEAD END STREET? IT COULD BE A DEAD END STREET.

WE, IT JUST HAS TO GO TO TRAFFIC COMMISSION.

ON 72 HOURS NOTICE AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO YOU IN DECEMBER FOR THE, FOR THE ACTUAL ORDINANCE.

AND, AND THERE ARE TWO STEPS THAT CAN BE, THAT CAN BE INVOLVED AT AS FAR AS TRAFFIC DOWN LEWIS STREET.

LEWIS STREET CAN BE DESIGNATED AS A DEAD END STREET, WHICH MEANS NO THROUGH TRAFFIC.

OR THEY COULD PUT UP A, IT COULD GO TO TRAFFIC COMMISSION AND THEY CAN PUT UP NO TRUCKS, NO TRUCKS ON.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT WOULDN'T BE A, IT WOULDN'T BE ANY TRAFFIC.

SO THAT, DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY, THE TRAFFIC'S JUST THE MAIN THING.

IF IT'S NOT GUARANTEED THAT, YOU KNOW, THE KIDS AND GRANDKIDS ARE GONNA BE SAFE ON THAT PLAYING OUTSIDE ON THAT ROAD, THEN I WOULD SAY A LOT OF US STRONGLY OPPOSE IT.

IF WE, WE JUST WANT THE KIDS TO BE SAFE.

I CAN SAY IT MAY TAKE A MEETING WITH, IT MAY, MAY TAKE Y'ALL COMING TO A MEETING WITH THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION AND GET THEM TO HEAR YOUR CASE AND SET THE RULES FOR THE STREET.

BUT LIKE I SAID, IT COULD BE DESIGNATED AS A DEAD END STREET, WHICH MEANS NO THROUGH TRAFFIC.

HOW MAYOR, HOW LONG DOES THAT PROCESS TAKE FOR IT'S, IT'S AN ORDINANCE CHANGE ONCE YOU TAKE THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE TRAFFIC COMM, SORRY.

IT'S AN ORDINANCE CHANGE.

ONCE YOU TAKE, ONCE YOU GET THE MEASURE FOR, OR ONCE YOU GET THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE, UH, FROM THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION.

SO WE CAN HOLD A TRAFFIC COMMISSION

[00:35:01]

AND WOULD IT BE WISE FOR THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION TO MEET BEFORE WE PASS ANYTHING? I THINK SO.

THROUGH PLANNING ZONING, YES.

BUT THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THAT IS, IS ONE OF TIMING ON THE APPLICATION.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO REJECT THE APPLICATION NOW AND RESTART THE PROCESS.

ONE OF THOSE THINGS DO IT AUTOMATICALLY.

IS THERE A RUSH? UH, I'M NOT SURE.

I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A 30 DAY TIME LIMIT ON PER MINUTE.

SO IF THAT MAYOR NOTES THAT IF WE DON'T TAKE ACTION, THEN IT'S AUTOMATICALLY APPROVED.

SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO VOTE UP OR DOWN TONIGHT ON THIS.

AND IF WE HAVE TO RESTART IT, IT'S ANOTHER 60 OR 90 DAYS FOR THEM TO, TO TAKE FOR THE, THE, THE REZONE.

BUT IT WOULD, I MEAN IF WE COULD, YOU SAID WE COULD HAVE THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION LOOKING OVER THIS IN THE NEXT 72 HOURS.

WELL, IT TAKES 72 HOURS NOTICE.

SO THE EARLIEST THEY COULD MEET NOW IS THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK.

'CAUSE IT'S 72 WORKING DAYS, CORRECT.

HOURS.

THREE BUSINESS DAYS, THREE BUSINESS DAYS.

IT HAS TO BE PRINTED THREE BUSINESS DAYS AND NOT INCLUDING THE DAY OF THE MEETING.

SO REALLY YOU HAVE TO POST IT FOR FULL BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE MEETING.

SO WE WOULD, IT WOULD HAVE TO ACTUALLY BE THE WEEK FOLLOWING.

UH, THEY COULD STILL TAKE ACTION AND IT WOULD STILL BE READY FOR YOUR FIRST DECEMBER MEETING.

SO LET, OKAY, SO, SO IT'S NOT TOO LONG.

LET, SO LAST WEEK, WILL YOU REZONE THIS TONIGHT? YES, SIR.

LET, HYPOTHETICALLY WE REZONE THIS TONIGHT.

IS THERE ANYTHING STOPPING THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM NO.

RECOGNIZING THAT AS DEAD END STREET? NO, NO, THERE'S NO, THERE'S, THERE'S NOTHING THAT WOULD STOP THEM OR PRECLUDE THEM FROM DOING IT.

THEY JUST HAVE, THEY JUST HAVE TO TAKE THAT ACTION.

AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO DRAFT AN, OR WE WOULD HAVE TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

IF YOU DON'T ACT ON IT, THEN BASICALLY THEY'RE STALLED.

THEY CAN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REPL, WHICH IS THE SUBDIVIDE TO SELL.

SO EVEN IF YOU REZONE IT TONIGHT, THERE'S STILL THE REPL PROCESS BEFORE HE CAN SELL IT AND START USING THE, THE EASTERN PORTION OF THAT PROPERTY WOULD BE IN USE ANYWAY.

YEAH, THERE'S A, THERE'S AN ORDINANCE HAS THE LIST OF DEADHEAD STREETS, TENNESSEE INCLUDE THIS WOULD JUST BE TAKE THAT ORDINANCE, UPDATE THE ORDINANCE, UPDATE THE ORDINANCE WITH LEWIS ADDED.

SO WE MAKE THAT DEAD IN THE STREET AND THERE THAT GOES AWAY WITH A GATE AND THE FIRE ENTRANCE PRETTY GOOD.

IS THAT CORRECT CHRIS? I'M SORRY, ASK THE QUESTION.

WELL, IF, IF THEY PLANTED TO USE THESE TWO, THESE TWO LOTS HERE FOR ACCESS, THEN SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE.

YOU BEEN OVER THERE.

IT'S NOT FEASIBLE.

AND IS THAT IT COULD BE A EMERGENCY USE ONLY IN AIRLINE STATE.

PUT AN ENTRANCE BACK THERE, AIRLINE FOR EMERGENCY.

UH, IF YOU WOULD HAVE THE, IF TRAFFIC COMMISSION AND EVERYTHING, I KNOW THERE MAKE A, A SECOND ENTRY AND EVERYTHING FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES WITH THE, UH, NOX BOX AND STUFF OVER THERE.

IF THERE WAS RESTRICTIONS FROM GETTING OUT OFF THE, UH, MAIN, MAIN ROAD, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 25 FEET, BUT IT IS LIKE THAT, THAT CREATES JUST A MINIMUM WIDTH.

CORRECT? UH, IT'S NOT EVEN A MINIMUM WIDTH.

IT'S, IT'S IS THAT ENTRANCE? IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 25 FEET.

A NARROW ROAD.

WE HAD PROBLEMS RAIL EI MEAN ALL THOSE ROADS.

WADE LEWIS .

YEAH, THEY'RE ALL LIKE THAT.

THIS IS THE ONE OF THE POSTER CHILDREN FOR THAT DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD ABOUT THE CIP.

AND IS, IS WADE STREET GONNA BE AN ISSUE SINCE THEY PLAN ON MAKING A DRIVEWAY THERE? WELL, WADE IS NOT AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW.

I WOULD NOTE THOUGH, YOU HAVE ONE OUTLIER LOT THAT WAS, THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN R FIVE ZONE.

THERE'S ONE LOT THAT IS DESIGNATED C TWO.

I DON'T KNOW HOW, I DON'T KNOW WHY .

UM, WELL IT LOOKS LIKE THE LAST, DO YOU REMEMBER WHY FOUR, FIVE ON WADE STREET ARE UH, C TWO AS WELL? IT'S A SHOP BACK THERE.

THE, WELL, THE FIRST, THE FIRST FEW ON THAT ARE AND THEN YOU HAVE THAT ONE INTERVENING LOT.

THAT I THINK THAT, I THINK THAT LOT ON, ON ON WADE.

I THINK THAT VERY RIGHT SHOP.

[00:40:01]

YEAH, IT'S A SHOT.

HE DOESN'T, I MEAN HE DOESN'T DO ANY BUSINESS OUT OF THERE.

I DON'T THINK IT IS HIS SHOP, BUT LONG, LONG TIME AGO WHEN HE WAS PUT YOU, YOU GET MY YEAH.

I MEAN NOW I THINK YOU JUST STORE STUFF IN THERE FROM WHAT I REMEMBER.

BUT NO, I DON'T THINK THERE WOULD BE ANY IMPACT.

BUT THESE STREETS, THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS, IS AN EX PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE NEED TO GET TO IN THE CIP WHERE WE GET TO A STANDARD FOOT STANDARD STREET SECTION.

SO, AND THIS IS JUST A QUESTION TO MY PEOPLE FROM LEWIS STREET, IS THAT DECLARING, BECAUSE MR. AND I CAN'T REMEMBER YOUR LAST NAME, I APOLOGIZE, WE CAN'T ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE, THE INCREASE OF PROPERTY VALUE TAX BECAUSE LIKE HE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT THE, THE TAXING BOARD, SO WE CAN'T REALLY ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

BUT DOES DECLARING THAT OR THE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, UH, THROUGH THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION TO DECLARE THAT A DEAD END STREET, IS THAT BE THE SOLUTION IN YOUR MIND TO HAVING THIS BUSINESS GO IN THERE? YOU NEED TO REWORK THAT.

THEY UNDERSTAND.

SO, SO IF, IF, IF, INSTEAD OF, BASICALLY WHAT MR. AGUILAR IS ASKING IS, WOULD IT BE A, WOULD IT BE SUITABLE IF WE MADE THAT A DEAD END STREET, LEWIS STREET? LEWIS STREET LEWIS STREET BEING LEWIS STREET WOULD BECOME A DEAD END STREET? I I WOULD AGREE ON DOING THAT BEFORE WE DO OTHER STUFF.

BECAUSE WE COULD GO AHEAD AND THEY ALL GET CHANGED.

THEY SELL IT AND THEN THEY'D BE LIKE, OH, WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE A DEADHEAD STREET.

SO, SO I, THERE'S, THERE'S, WELL IT WOULD BE MADE A DEADHEAD STREET BY CITY ORDINANCE.

YEAH, IT'S, YEAH, IT'S A CITY ORDINANCE AND THE CITY COMMISSION THAT GOES THROUGH THAT AND LET KIND OF EXPLAIN THE PROCESS BEFORE ANY SALE CAN BE MADE.

SO THIS IS ONE PROCESS, THIS IS TO GET THE REZONE.

THEN IT'S ANOTHER 30 TO 60 TO 90 DAYS TO GET THE PLAT REDONE SO THAT IT COULD BE SOLD.

SO Y'ALL EASIER TALK UP HERE.

SURE.

SO IT WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A DEAD END, BUT WOULD IT ACTUALLY BE A DEAD END? YES, SIR.

LIKE THERE'LL BE A GATE PUT UP OR SOMETHING.

ONCE, ONCE THE ORDINANCE IS PASSED, WE'LL DESIGNATE IT AS A, AS A DEAD END STREET.

WE'LL PUT THE SIGNS UP.

THAT COULD, I HEARD THE TALKS OF EMERGENCY EXIT AND ALL THAT.

IT'S LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T GONNA UNDERSTAND THERE AND THEY'RE STILL GOING TO USE IT.

YEAH, JUST MAKE SURE THAT WOULD BE A PHYSICAL BARRICADE STOPPING PEOPLE FROM USING IT.

IT'D BE TOO THEN.

I I WOULD BE FINE WITH THAT.

WELL, THE, WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE A LOCK GATE FOR FIRETRUCK, AMBULANCES, THAT KIND OF THING.

YEAH, I MEAN EMERGENCIES, FIRE TRUCKS NEED TO GET BACK THERE.

I THINK WE WOULD BE OKAY WITH, YOU KNOW, ASSISTING AND MOVING CARS TO GET A FIRE TRUCK BACK THERE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, EVERYDAY USE IS MY MAIN CONCERN.

YEAH, IT WOULD JUST BE, IT WOULD JUST BE FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES, JUST LIKE FIRE TRUCKS, AMBULANCES, POLICE CARS KIND OF DEAL.

THE, UH, SCOOT, UH, SI MM-HMM THINK ABOUT THE GATES AND EVERYTHING.

NO, THROUGH TRAFFIC.

AND IT END UP BENEFITING YOU ALL TOO OF THE WIND.

THEY MAY HAVE TO GO TO THE OTHER TO GET TO HELP YOU ALL.

YEAH, I, I AGREE WITH THAT.

I MEAN, I'M SO SORRY.

I MEAN THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING FOR LEWIS STREET, BUT ALL THE OTHER STREETS ALSO, THEY'RE DEAD ENDS.

SO ARE YOU GONNA READ, UH, YOU KNOW, REDO ALL OF THAT FOR ALL OF THEM OR WHAT? NO, ALL THE ONES THAT ARE DEAD ENDS WOULD REMAIN DEAD ENDS.

WE WOULD JUST ADD THIS TO THE LIST OF DEAD END STREETS.

WHY IT CAN'T BE REPLANTED AT THIS TIME OTHER THAN THE NECESSARY STEPS.

ALL I HAVE A QUESTION.

SO THIS, THIS REZONING AND WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO, HE, IF HE BOUGHT BOTH PROPERTIES, COULD HE FIT THE PROPERTY OWNER JUST COME IN AND ASK FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT AND HE COULD, BUT YOU'RE, THERE'S AN ARGUMENT TO BE MADE THAT WE'RE DEVALUING THE PROPERTY BY NOT REZONING IT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE BOTH COMMERCIAL LISTINGS, ONE PRECLUDES A SPECIFIC TYPE OF USE AND SO HE COULD COME ASK FOR AN SUP ON HIS PORTION, BUT IT WOULD APPLY TO THE ENTIRE TRACK BECAUSE IT'S NOT SUBDIVIDED YET.

I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED AS WHY IF HE OWNS IT ALL,

[00:45:01]

AND THEN ONCE HE'S GOT THE C ONCE IT'S REPLANTED, THEN IT'D BE REALLY EASY TO GO, YEP, WE CAN DO C TWO HERE.

UH, I I THINK IT WAS A YES.

YEAH, IT'S A MATTER.

SO IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT LOT 1 9 2 1 9 3, HE WOULD HAVE TO REPL THAT AFTERWARDS, WHICH ADDS TO THE EXPENSE.

AND I THINK THAT WAS HIS MODUS OPERA ON BACK.

WELL I HAD TO BE, I I KNOW THE MAN ARMY MAN, I, I HAD MONEY TAKING MONEY FROM HIS POCKET AND TAKING CARE OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE SITTING THERE.

NO, I, I DON'T DISAGREE.

SUPPOSED TO BE OUR PROBLEM.

WE, WE, SO WHEN WE MET WITH HIM AND DISCUSSED THIS WITH HIM, THAT SCENARIO WAS BROUGHT UP WHERE YOU WOULD RELA THE BACK PORTION AND THEN RELA THE FRONT PORTION.

THEIR, THEIR REQUEST WAS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REZONE OF THE PIECE AND THEN DO THE RE RELA AFTER.

BUT THEY COULD CERTAINLY REVERSE THEIR STEPS.

IT JUST SLOWS DOWN THE PROCESS.

BECAUSE THEN WITH THE SUP WE, WE KNOW WE HAVE CONTROL OVER THOSE PROPERTY, OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS.

IT'S A OKAY.

IT'S A, YEAH, IT'S A STICKY WICKET BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT COMPETING INTERESTS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THIS ACROSS FROM THEM.

SO I MEAN, EITHER WAY GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION WOULD BE A GOOD, WOULD BE A START FOR RESIDENCE LEWIS STREET.

SO WE'VE, WE NEED TO GET THAT DONE.

WE'VE GOT DIRECTION FROM COUNSEL, WE'LL GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF AND THAT, SORRY, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT IF IT'S A COUNCIL ORDINANCE THING.

WE JUST MAKE IT A WHAT'S STILL, WHY DO WE NEED TRAFFIC COMMISSION FOR THAT? YOU TECHNICALLY DON'T.

I MEAN WE COULD TAKE IT STRAIGHT TO YOU.

I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT I YES.

I MEAN, DON'T THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION? UH, I THINK THEY'RE ONLY ADVISORY.

I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE THE SAME POWER AS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

I WAS GONNA SAY WE'RE HERE, WE'RE DISCUSSING IT.

WHY, WHY CAN'T WE MAKE THAT DECISION? YEAH, YOU, WELL, NOT IN THIS MEETING.

WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ORDINANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

SO TRY, I MEAN, WE'VE HEARD COUNCIL'S, WILL WE UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WANT? WE'LL BRING YOU AN ORDINANCE BACK.

JUST TRYING TO STREAMLINE A LITTLE.

THAT SHOULD TAKE A TAKE OUT.

NO, NO.

IT'LL STILL BE THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING BEFORE WE CAN HAVE AN ORDINANCE READY TO GO.

SO UNLESS WE CALL A SPECIAL MEETING BEFORE, UNLESS YOU CALL A SPECIAL MEETING BEFORE THANKSGIVING OR AFTER THANKSGIVING OR, OR ON THANKSGIVING IF Y'ALL REALLY WANT TO, I, I GUESS WELL, TO BE FAIR, IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY WERE HERE TO GO, WELL I KIND OF NEED TO MOVE ON THIS BECAUSE YEAH.

MY UNDERSTANDING, WE NEED TO MOVE ON THIS BECAUSE WE MIGHT SELL IT, WE MIGHT KEEP IT, WE MIGHT HAVE A SECOND ENTRANCE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

WE MIGHT HAVE TO USE LEWIS STREET.

AND THE MORE MITES WE GET, THE ROUGHER THE CHICKEN IS.

WELL, YOU CAN LOOK BACK TO WHEN WE MET ON THIS AND WE'RE, THIS IS ALL LIKE NEWS TO US BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THESE KIND OF DISCUSSIONS BECAUSE NONE OF THIS COME UP.

SO, SO THEN WE NEED TO WAIT AND HEAR FROM Y'ALL'S RECOMMENDATION.

WELL, I I WAS GONNA SAY, I THINK BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, APPARENTLY THE SALE, THE MODE OF THE SALE HAS CHANGED SOME THINGS TO DO.

THEY DO, BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO CHANGE FOR THEM 'CAUSE WE DID SOMETHING.

EXACTLY.

THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL FREEDOM.

BUT WELL, I MEAN THAT'S, IF THE TRAFFIC IS A MAJOR CONCERN, THEN LIKE I SAID, YOU, YOU'RE MAKING A DEAD END STREET AND THE TRAFFIC ISSUE'S CLOSED.

THAT'S THEIR MAJOR CONCERN.

MY MAJOR CONCERN IS TO, NOW I'M JUST REPEATING MYSELF, DEALING WITH TWO ENTRANCES OR TWO EXITS FOR THE FACT THAT I BELIEVE THAT CONVERSATION SOMEWHERE ELSE HAS BEEN GOING ON.

NOW FOR Y'ALL PICK THE TIME.

THAT WAS, THAT WAS MINIMUM OF A YEAR.

THAT WAS, UH, THAT WAS MANDATED BY SOMEBODY JEFF.

JEFF, YES SIR.

WHAT'S YOUR CONCERN? I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

Y'ALL GONNA HAVE TO TURN YOUR MICROPHONE ON.

WE CAN'T, NOBODY CAN HEAR THE SO I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.

YEAH, MR. BROWN, THE DISCUSSION IS, IS WHEN WE, WHEN THIS APPLICATION WAS ORIGINALLY BROUGHT, YOU HAD A SPECIFIC BUYER IN MIND.

AND IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING NOW THAT THAT SPECIFIC BUYER MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE.

IT'S, IT'S ALL DEPENDENT ON THE GETTING REZONED FIRST OFF.

AND SO AND SO, AND THAT'S ONLY PART OF THE PROPERTY, YOU KNOW? RIGHT, RIGHT.

AND THE BUT THE OWNER ALSO WANTS TO DO MORE DEVELOPMENT ON THE OTHER PART OF IT.

CHRIS'S POINT WAS, IS COULDN'T THE OWNER THEN ASK FOR AN SUP ON WHAT HE INTENDS TO KEEP AND BEGIN USING IT THAT WAY ALREADY? AND THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS YES, BUT THAT WOULD PRECLUDE HIM REPRE, PLATTING AND SUBDIVIDING UNTIL AT SUCH, RIGHT? YEAH, WE COULDN'T.

AND MR.

[00:50:01]

AT SUCH TIME.

SO THEN THE NEXT QUESTION IS, AND I HATE TO KEEP IT, IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE PULLING OUT RUSSIAN DOLLS, BUT THEN THE NEXT FIX WOULD BE TO GO AHEAD AND GET THE SUP ON THE BACK PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, REPL IT, SUBDIVIDE IT THE WAY HE WANTS IT, AND THEN COME BACK AND REPL THE FRONT AND THEN ALLOW OR MAKE THE REQUEST FOR REZONE AFTER THAT THE FRONT'S ALREADY PLATTED.

BUT HE INTENDS TO SUB IT WAS OUR DISCUSSION THAT HE WAS GONNA SUBDIVIDE THE FRONT PORTION CORRECT.

TO ALLOW ACCESS NO, THE FRONT PORTION THAT LOT, I FORGOT IT'S LOT FOUR OR WHATEVER THAT IT'S A HUNDRED FOOT WIDE THERE.

THAT'S IN C TWO.

AND THAT'S ALREADY, THAT'S PLATTED IT'S A LOT, LOT AND BLOCK OR WHATEVER.

SO HIS PLAN IS NOT TO SUBDIVIDE 1 92.

AND THAT'S GONNA, WE'RE GONNA, THAT'S GONNA BE THE ACCESS FOR 3 32 IS WHERE THAT, THAT'S PART OF THE PROPERTY THAT WILL BE TIED IN WITH THE BACK PART OF THE, OF THE FIVE ACRES.

BUT HE'S NOT PLANNING TO SUBDIVIDE THE LOT, DEMAR THE INTERVENING LOT BETWEEN THE EXISTING BUSINESS AND THAT LOT.

IT'S, IT'S NOT GONNA BE ALL SOLD IN ONE P YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE FIVE ACRE WON'T BE SOLD CONNECTED WITH THAT A HUNDRED FOOT.

I, I MEAN I, TO ME IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE WE, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

SO, SO IS THAT GONNA END UP BEING LANDMARK INTERSECTION? WELL, THAT IT, IT IT COULD, IT COULD.

IT THAT'S, IT COULD BE, IT WAS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT WHERE THE THREE 30 MARK IS, WOULD BE CARRIED THROUGH TO THE THREE, THE 3 32 FRONTAGE.

SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT CROSS LINE RUNNING LATERALLY ACROSS THE LOT THAT WAS GONNA DEMARCATE THE POINT OF SALE SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTIES.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT NOW HE'S ONLY INTENDING TO SELL THE 100 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY LINE AND THE 3.9 ACRE 3.09 ACRES BEHIND IT? I DON'T KNOW IF I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S GOT.

THE, THE FRONT PIECE THAT HALF AN ACRE YES.

IS CONNECTING THE BACK FIVE ACRES TO GIVE, TO GIVE IT 3 32 FRONTAGE.

BUT THE BACK FIVE ACRES IS C ONE, THE FRONT PART OF IT'S C TWO.

HE'S WANTING TO MAKE IT ALL C TWO.

I GUESS WHERE I'M CONFUSED IS YOU SAID SOMEBODY SUBDIVIDING, WHERE WOULD YOU GET TO THAT PROPERTY THEN? HOW WOULD YOU GET TO NO, THAT'S WHAT YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE RECOMMENDATION OF WELL THAT'S, THAT'S, THIS IS OWNED BY ANOTHER PARTY.

HE DOESN'T OWN THAT.

YOU NO, THIS IS THE ONLY ACCESS.

MAYOR DID WE DO THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING? YEAH.

I MEAN IF EVERYBODY GET THROUGH TALKING AND WE'RE FINE BECAUSE YOU GOT THIS.

YOU CAN'T, YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO POINTS.

WE'RE NEGOTIATING RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S NOT GUARANTEED.

SO, SO WHAT THIS HERE, YOU THERE, RIGHT? YEAH.

I UNDERSTAND.

NO, WE DON'T.

[00:55:03]

SO THEY, THEY THEY'RE NOT.

MAYOR, IN LIEU OF ALL THE QUESTIONS, UH, I KNOW WE GOT AHEAD OF OURSELF, ME INCLUDED.

WE HEAR RECOMMENDATION FROM, UH, PLAN AND ZONING.

KIND OF BACK TO THE ORDER OF THIS.

OH, I'M SORRY.

HOW YOU DOING? UH, MY NAME IS CAMERON JOHNSON.

I LIVE ON LEWIS STREET.

UM, WHEN WE RECEIVED THE LETTER, WHEN IT'S GOING FROM C ONE TO C TWO, IT SAYS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9 0 7 LEWIS STREET.

MY QUESTION IS, IS WHATEVER ESTABLISHMENT IS TO BE BUILT, WHENEVER WE LOOK IT UP, IS IT GONNA SAY LEWIS STREET OR HIGHWAY 3 32? SO THE ADDRESSING ON THAT SITE IS OFFICIALLY 9 0 7 LEWIS.

I KNOW IT'S CONFUSING.

SO IT'LL BE A PART OF LEWIS STREET.

IT WELL THE ADDRESS WOULD BE ON LEWIS STREET, BUT IT HAS AN ACCESS ONTO 3 32.

AND THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT THE PRIMARY ACCESS POINT WOULD BE OFF OF THE ACCESS ROAD.

SO YOU'RE GONNA DIVIDE LEWIS STREET? NO, NO.

WELL, IF IT'S A DEAD END, HOW IS IT A DEAD END IF IT'S STILL LEWIS STREET? WELL, HE WOULD STILL MAINTAIN THAT ADDRESS BECAUSE THAT'S THE ADDRESS THAT'S SIGNED BY CENTER POINT ENERGY, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE POWER BOX IS.

BUT IT WOULD HAVE FRONTAGE ON 3 32.

I KNOW IT'S CONFUSING.

IT'S LIKE HAVING A HOUSE ON A CORNER WHERE THE HOUSE FACES ONE STREET, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY ADDRESSED TO ANOTHER, THE OPPOSITE STREET WHERE THEIR HOUSE DOESN'T FRONT.

BUT WE'RE ALL AWARE THAT IT'S NOT A DEFINITE THAT ONE DAY THEY CAN COME ON LEWIS STREET AND GO TO THE STOP SIGN AND GET ON LISA LANE.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

SO IT'S NOT A DEFINITE NO.

WELL THE, THE PLAN WOULD BE, I THINK COUNCIL'S WILL IS TO DE DECLARE THAT A DEAD END STREET.

SO THAT WOULD PRECLUDE THAT ACCESS.

THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THOUGH, IS IT DENIES THE USE OF TWO POINTS OF INGRESS, POINTS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS INTO THAT COMMERCIAL LOT.

SO IT'S ALREADY ZONED COMMERCIAL.

SO TODAY IF I WANTED TO OPEN A CONVENIENCE STORE AT THE END OF LEWIS, I COULD DO IT AND THE CITY COULDN'T STOP ME AND I WOULD USE LEWIS IN AND OUT AS MY CONDUIT TO GET BUSINESS IN, GET PEOPLE INTO MY BUSINESS NO MATTER WHAT.

SO IF HYPOTHETICALLY, IF THAT HAPPENS AND YOU GET A BUSINESS THERE TODAY, THEY HAVE THE FULL RIGHT.

AND IF THE CITY WAS TO DECLARE IT A DEAD END STREET, THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A TAKING BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE HAMPERED MY ABILITY TO RUN MY BUSINESS ON THAT LOT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO JUST TO GIVE MY PEOPLE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING, C ONE IS STILL BUSINESS.

C TWO IS BUSINESS BUT BIGGER, CORRECT? YES, SIR.

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

WHICH IS MORE PEOPLE, WELL IN THEORY IT'S MORE, MORE PEOPLE MORE TRAFFIC.

SO WHAT I WAS EXPLAINING TO MR. UH, MR. BROWN WAS THAT WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY HAD CONTROL OF THE INTERVENING PIECE OF PROPERTY TO ALLOW CROSS ACCESS FOR TWO POINTS ON 3 32.

IT, THEY'RE STILL IN NEGOTIATIONS ON THAT PROPERTY.

AND THEY HAVEN'T CLOSED THE SALE OR CAN'T CLOSE THE SALE ON THE OTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY UNTIL SUCH TIME AS IT'S REZONED.

SO THE, UM, WE CAN PROPOSE ANOTHER MEETING WHEN THE ACTUAL OWNER OF THE, THE LAND IS HERE TO GIVE US A BETTER UNDERSTANDING.

SO, SO COUNSEL, CAN CHRIS CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, COUNSEL CAN APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE AND RESTART THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER.

BUT I DON'T, JUST RECAPPING BASIC ISSUE WITH THE FOLKS ON LEWIS STREET IS THE TRAFFIC ISSUE.

CORRECT SIR.

BASIC ISSUE WITH THE FOLKS THAT LIVE ON LEWIS STREET IS THE, IS THE ANY ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC? WELL IT'S THE TRAFFIC AND IT'S LIKE HE WAS SAYING IT'S, IT'S A SMALL STREET.

WE HAVE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

WE CAN'T, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DRIVEWAY, UM, TO PARK ON OUR DRIVEWAY.

SO SOME OF US HAVE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

SO IF YOU GOT PEOPLE COMING THROUGH AND WHEN YOU HAVE CARS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THAT'S NOT GOOD.

'CAUSE IT'S A NARROW ROAD.

IF, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

WELL, I MEAN IT'S THE TRAFFIC.

TRAFFIC TRAFFIC IS THE ISSUE.

IT'S THE TRAFFIC.

BUT I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.

MY CON UM, WHY DID ONLY, UH, SOME OF US GET A LETTER THAT AFFECT LEWIS STREET, BUT EVERYBODY DIDN'T GET A LETTER.

SO IT'S 200 FEET FROM 9 0 7.

[01:00:02]

SO THAT'S MY HOME.

HIS HOME AND THREE OTHER HOMES.

AND THEN THEIR HOME IS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

BUT THERE'S LIKE HOW MANY OTHER HOUSES? MAYBE LIKE FIVE, MORE THAN FIVE ON EAST SIDE ON, SO WE MAIL, WE MAIL THAT'S ON THE OTHER END, DIDN'T EVEN GET A LETTER.

SO IF THEY'RE WITHIN THAT 200 FOOT RADIUS.

SO WHAT WE DO IS WE TAKE THAT POINT AND WE DRAW A CIRCLE, 200 FEET AROUND IT.

AND THEN SEND LETTERS.

WE SENT 38 LETTERS OUT.

NONE OF 'EM WERE RETURNED.

SO WE HAVE TO SUPPOSE THAT ALL THE OTHER 38, THE THREE OF Y'ALL, FOUR, HOWEVER MANY OF Y'ALL GOT LETTERS.

IF YOU'RE SAYING YOU DIDN'T GET A LETTER, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO, WE GOT A LETTER, BUT SAY MY SURE.

BUT SHE DIDN'T RECEIVE A LETTER.

BUT, AND PEOPLE THAT'S ON HER END OF LEWIS STREET, NONE OF THEM GOT A LETTER.

WELL THAT MAY BE BECAUSE THEY WERE OUTSIDE THE 200 FOOT RADIUS.

IT THAT'S WHAT, YES.

SO THE REZONE, WOULD THAT AFFECT US SOMEWHERE IN THE FUTURE FAR AS TRYING TO MAKE A SALE AT SOME POINT? NO, MA'AM.

NO.

I MEAN THE, THE, I WE CAN'T HYPOTHESIZE WHAT YOUR VALUE WILL OR WON'T BE.

SO IF YOU TRY TO SELL YOUR HOUSE AS, AS A, AS A RESIDENTIAL HOME, WHICH IS WHAT IT'S ZONED FOR, I CAN'T, WE, WE NOT TRYING TO SELL, BUT WE BE FORCED TO SELL.

NO MA'AM.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO MA'AM.

THERE'S NO FORCED.

THIS IS, THIS IS AN EXISTING, SO THIS IS AN EXISTING PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS ALREADY ZONED COMMERCIAL.

JUST A DIFFERENT TYPE OF COMMERCIAL THAN WHAT ZONED ON THE FRONTAGE ON 3 32.

BUT WE'RE NOT TAKING ANYBODY'S PROPERTY.

WE'RE NOT FORCING ANYBODY TO SELL.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE IMPACT ON THE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY WOULD BE.

THAT'S BETWEEN YOU AND THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

BECAUSE THAT, IT, IT SEEMS KIND OF STRANGE.

I'VE BEEN THERE MY WHOLE LIFE.

MISS HECA BEEN THERE BEFORE I WAS BORN.

I'M 60 YEARS OLD.

DON'T MIND TO TELL YOU.

SHE'S BEEN THERE, WE'VE BEEN THERE OUR WHOLE LIFE.

SO THAT HAS ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE THAT TO US.

SO NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING S WELL, BUS BUSINESSES AND STUFF LIKE THAT OVER THERE THAT DON'T LOOK RIGHT TO US.

IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.

SO WE ARE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE BUSINESSES AT THE END OF THE STREET.

THAT SEEMS REALLY STRANGE.

IT, I I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY IT WAS ZONED THAT WAY.

I CAN JUST TELL YOU WHAT THE ZONING IS.

I UNDERSTAND.

SO THE, AS FAR AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN HERE ALMOST EIGHT YEARS NOW MM-HMM .

THAT'S BEEN ZONED THAT WAY.

AND SO THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE POSSIBILITY THAT THERE WOULD BE A BUSINESS AT THE END OF THE STREET.

WELL WE ARE AGAINST IT.

I JUST .

I JUST WANT, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WE ARE ALL AGAINST IT.

AND I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE AND CLARIFY 'CAUSE WE WERE, WE'RE WONDERING IF YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR LAND OR ANYTHING.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT YOUR PROPERTY IS NOT BEING REZONED.

YOUR, YOUR PROPERTY WILL STAY THE SAME.

IT'S ONLY THIS PROPERTY THAT, UH, UH, BEHIND YOU AT THE END OF THE ROAD.

SO YOUR PROPERTY WILL STAY RESIDENTIAL.

NOTHING WILL CHANGE AS FAR AS THAT GOES.

WELL WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA CLOSE THAT COMMENT SECTION AND MOVE TO, TO, UH, COMMENTS FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

YEAH, I MEAN, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO COMMENT ON BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S NOT WHAT WE MET ON.

I BELIEVE WE OUGHT TO TABLE IT AND GET THE OWNER OR WHOEVER THE BETTER DETAILS AND THAT WHAT'S GOING ON.

I WOULD SAY WE LET THE COUNCIL HAVE AND LET THEM MAKE THAT DECISION.

YEAH, I MAKE SURE WE WOULD MUCH VOTE FOR I AGREE WITH YOU, DAVE.

I'LL, OKAY, SO YOU GOT GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND.

PASS IT ON TO Y'ALL.

WHAT HE'S NO COMMENTS? YEAH, THIS IS JUST COMMENTS AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO A VOTE YET.

THIS IS COMMENTS.

THIS IS NOT A MOTION YET.

HEARING NONE, I'M WILL GO TO BEAR COMMENTS FROM THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

UH, MY FIRST COMMENT IS THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT EVERYBODY'S A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT'S, WHAT'S GOING ON AND, UH, I THINK THAT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE BLACK AND WHITE, GREEN AND PURPLE, WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT TO CALL IT BEFORE ANYBODY PROCEEDS WITH IT.

THAT'S MY COMMENT.

YEAH, I, I WOULD SAY THE SAME.

I I THINK IF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CAN'T COME TO AN AGREEMENT, WHAT IS GOING ON? WAIT A MINUTE.

WE NEVER MADE THAT DECISION.

THAT'S NOT COMING UP YET.

THEN WE, WE SHOULD HAVE

[01:05:01]

A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS.

AT LEAST HAVE THE PROPERTY OWNER OWNER HERE LETTING US, OR WITH, WITH THE INITIAL DISCUSSION WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING.

SEE WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WELL, I HAVE A COMMENT, BUT I'M GOING WITH THEM ON THAT.

BUT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENS IF ALL THESE DELIVERY TRUCKS SHOW UP AT 9 0 7 AUSTIN AND THEY TRY TO TURN AN 18 WHEELER DOWN ON THE INTERNET OF LEWIS STREET.

OTHER THAN THAT'S PRETTY GOOD FOR MY BUSINESS.

AND I DON'T KNOW.

HOW DID YOU CHANGE THAT ADDRESS? YOU DID, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF BLUE LINE FOLLOWERS OUT THERE AND THIS SAYS 9 0 7 LEWIS.

AND I'M GONNA PUT THIS 60 FEET DOWN THERE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

FOR DELIVERY.

MAKE A MOTION.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL? WELL, WE'RE GONNA CLOSE DISCUSSION AND HEAR A RECOMMENDATION FOR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TABLE.

I HAVE TO, I HAVE TO CLARIFY.

I MISSPOKE EARLIER.

THERE'S NOT A 30 DAY, IT'S ONLY ON THE REPL THAT THE 30 DAY DEADLINE, SO THEY COULD TABLE IT AND DELAY IT.

OH, OKAY.

THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH.

SO REZONING, I DON'T SEE WHY, I MEAN, REPL CANNOT, IT'S, THEY ALL'S GOING DO IS, UH, MAKE IT A C TWO AND THAT'S IT.

THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION THEY'VE ALREADY ANSWERED ALL THE OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT MAKING THE ROAD A DEAD END.

SO I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH JOHNNY.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT GOING DO IT WITH.

WE HAVE, WE HAVE A MOTION FOR THE REZONE.

DAVID, PEPPER, DAVID AND DAVID.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED.

A NO OPPOSED.

WELL, WE RECOMMEND THAT IT, UH, BE REZONED AND Y'ALL HASH IT OUT.

COUNSEL NOW HAS A CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION FOR THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION TO APPROVE OR DENY THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION.

THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION HAS RECOMMENDED TO APPROVE THE, THE REQUEST.

SO PLANNING AND ZONING HAS PUT THE IN YOUR LAPS.

I, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO DENY.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN AGUILAR TO DENY AND A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN COUNCILMAN LOPEZ TO DENY COUNCILMAN AGUILAR MAKES A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? I'D LIKE TO SEE, UH, AN OPTION FROM WHOEVER IS GOING TO BE USING THAT PIECE OF LAND.

HOW THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THEIR IN.

IS IT INGRESS? THE EGRESS, THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT THE OFF OF PROPERTY THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE LEWIS STREET IN ANYWAY.

WELL, I MEAN THAT'S KIND OF WHAT SWAY IN MY OPINION IS.

WELL, THAT PART OF IT RIGHT NOW DOESN'T, DOESN'T MATTER RIGHT NOW.

IT'S JUST DENIED.

I WELL, I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S, THAT'S WHY I'M OKAY.

WHAT I NEED TO SEE TO BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN DENY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A VOTE.

FAR THIS IS TO, THIS IS TO DENY.

WE SHOULD DENY.

TO DENY IT.

TO DENY THIS IS TO DENY IT.

AYE, IT'S UNANIMOUS.

MAKING SURE, YES.

YOU'RE SAYING YES TO ANOTHER YES OR NO.

THAT PERFECT BY THE WAY.

I I WOULD LIKE TO SAY ONE THING THOUGH.

WE, WE RUN INTO THIS A LOT BECAUSE OF COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL, BUT RIGHT UP TO OUR RESIDENTIAL, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A BETTER FORMAT TO WHERE THESE PEOPLE COULD COME TO PLANNING AND ZONING AND EXPRESS THIS BEFORE WE GET TO THIS LONG PROCESS.

WE MIGHT COULD HASH THIS OUT AND MORE CLARIFICATION OF WHAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING.

YEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S RETURN.

AND I DON'T LIKE THAT BECAUSE THAT MAKES US LOOK KIND OF DUMB HERE.

IT'S NOT WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE START.

SO.

THE INFORMATION HAS CHANGED SUBSEQUENT TO WHAT Y'ALL WERE TOLD IN THE VERY BEGINNING.

AND I THINK THE SITUATION THAT

[01:10:01]

I THINK THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS, IS WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS, WHICH IS GONNA LEAD TO A REZONE, WHICH SHOULD HELP PRECLUDE SOME OF THESE CHANGES.

SOME OF THESE CHANGES IN THE FUTURE.

SORRY.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

[II. 2nd JOINT PUBLIC HEARING - SUP - GROUND FLOOR RESIDENCE 249 S. MAIN STREET]

IN SITU AS A HOME NON-CONFORMING.

NOW WHAT WE MOVE TO THE SECOND JOINT PUBLIC HEARING AND IT IS FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR GROUND FOUR RESIDENCE AT 2 49 SOUTH MAIN STREET.

APPOINTMENT CITY.

CLERK CITY INCLUDE TEXAS.

NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO NOTE THE PUBLISHER'S AFFIDAVIT.

IT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE BRAD FOR FACTS ON OCTOBER THE 28TH, 2025.

UH, NEXT WOULD BE NOTE PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFIED THERE WERE 19 NOTICES MAILED OUT.

NONE WERE RETURNED, SO WE WERE PRESUMING THEY ARE ALL DELIVERED.

NEXT ITEM IS TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE REZONE OR THAT SAYS REZONE.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A SUP, RIGHT? YES SIR.

THIS IS AN SUP FAVOR OF FAVOR OF THE SUP.

UH, FIRST ITEM IS TO READ LETTERS.

I DON'T SEE ANY LETTERS IN THE FILE.

THEN THE NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE PRESENT THAT IS IN FAVOR OF THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

I THINK THEY'RE HERE.

HMM? THEY ARE THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY.

HI, MY NAME IS MELILLA.

OOPS.

I'M TRYING TO BALANCE MYSELF HERE.

, WE BOUGHT THE PROP WHEN THEY SOLD US A PROPERTY, THEY SOLD IT TO US, THE REAL ESTATE AS A HOME.

THAT'S WHY WE WANTED, YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN LIVE IN THERE.

WHEN I CAME TO THE CITY, I FOUND OUT IT WAS CONSIDERED A BUSINESS IN, IN THE BUSINESS AREA.

BUT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, THEY TOLD US, YOU KNOW, WE COULD LIVE IN THERE AND THERE WAS A HOME FOR US TO, AND THEY SOLD IT TO US AS A HOME, NOT AS A BUSINESS FROM THE REAL ESTATE.

AND THAT'S WHY WE BOUGHT IT.

'CAUSE WE FIGURED, OKAY, WE CAN LIVE HERE.

YOU KNOW? SO THAT'S OUR THING, YOU KNOW, WE WANNA LIVE THERE, YOU KNOW, AS HOMEOWNERS, NOT AS BUSINESS.

AND THAT'S OUR THING.

MAIN THING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE BOUGHT IT, INVESTED IN IT, AND THEN TURNS OUT THAT WHEN I CAME TO GET THE PERMITS, I WAS TOLD THAT I COULDN'T GET 'EM BECAUSE IT WAS A BUSINESS AT THAT.

AND WE WERE NEVER TOLD IT WAS A BUSINESS.

WE WERE TOLD WE COULD BUY IT AND LIVE IN THERE AS A HOME.

SO THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS COME UP FOR COUNCIL OR PLANNING AND ZONING WHERE WE HAVE A HOME LOCATED IN A DISTRICT THAT'S BEEN ZONED COMMERCIAL, UH, THAT THEN REQUIRES AN SEP TO BE USED AS A RESIDENCE.

UH, IT WAS PREEXISTING

[01:15:01]

AND WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNERS LEFT, IT REVERTED TO A CI BELIEVE ONE OR C TWO STANDARD.

AND SO THAT NOW REQUIRES THEM IN ORDER TO USE THE HOUSE AND GET PERMITS TO COMPLY WITH THE, EITHER THE ZONING AND USE IT AS A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OR TO GET AN SUP.

AND SO THE REQUEST IS FOR A SPEC SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THEM TO USE IT AS A RESIDENCE IN A COMMERCIAL ZONE.

BUT IT'S AL IT WAS ALREADY BEING USED AS A RESIDENCE ALL THIS TIME.

IT WAS A HOME, BUT IT WAS ZONED, IT WAS NON-CONFORMING BECAUSE IT WAS A HOME BEFORE THE ZONING WAS PLACED ON THAT PROPERTY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I WONDERED IF IT WASN'T A HOME THAT WAS TURNED INTO A SMALL BUSINESS.

LIKE A LOT OF THESE LITTLE MOM AND POP SHOPS ARE UP AND DOWN MAIN STREET.

AND THAT COULD BE, I I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT MIGHT BE FINE.

IT IT, IT MAY HAVE BEEN.

I DON'T, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE SPECIFIC HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THESE FOLKS BOUGHT IT.

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

IT WASN'T BUSINESS ONE TIME.

DID DID THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAVE A SUP ON IT OR NO? I BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE THE, I I, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AND I DON'T KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S THE OWNERSHIP HISTORY OF THE HOUSE THAT IT WAS NON-CONFORMING WHEN THEY LIVED IN IT.

ALRIGHT.

I THINK AT ONE TIME IT WAS A DRESS SHOP OR SOMETHING.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.

THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONE DOOR THAT'S NEXT DOOR.

THAT'S THE ONE NEXT DOOR STILL IS.

YOU'VE GOT THE, YOU'VE GOT THE DRESS AND COSTUME SHOP, THIS RESIDENCE, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT WHAT USED TO BE THE, UH, ER'S USED CAR.

YEAH, SHE IS OUR NEIGHBOR USED TO BE LAIER USED CAR LOT TODAY TO THE RIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT WE REMEMBER.

MR. ELBOW LIVED NEAR.

NOW IT'S THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET.

WELL THAT'S THE DRESS SHOT.

IT'S THE HOUSE NEXT, NEXT DOOR TO THE KEY TURNING.

RIGHT? OH YEAH, THAT, THERE YOU GO.

IT'S THAT HOUSE, RIGHT? YEP.

AND IT USED TO BE A BUSINESS? NO, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S EVER BEEN A BUSINESS.

I BELIEVE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A RESIDENCE IN NON-CONFORMING WITHIN THE ZONES.

BACK, BACK IN THE DAY.

THE VAN ZONE.

SEE I KNOW STATE KENNY STATE LIVED RIGHT IN THERE SOMEWHERE.

SO, OKAY, SO THE, THE, THE OWNERS HAVE BEEN, THAT SOLD THE PROPERTY, HAD BEEN LIVING IN THERE UNTIL WHEN? UNTIL UNTIL THEY SOLD IT OR UNTIL YEARS BACK.

OR WE, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE HOME'S BEEN VACANT.

I THEY MAY KNOW BETTER THAN I DO.

OR MAYBE ONE OF THE LOCAL HISTORIANS DO .

BUT, BUT IT WAS A, IT'S A RESIDENCE.

IT WAS USED AS A RESIDENCE.

IT WAS SOLD AS A RESIDENCE, BUT IT'S IN A C ONE ZONE.

AND SO BASICALLY ALL THEY'RE DOING IS GOING IN REVERSE WHERE WE JUST WERE.

CORRECT? YES.

BASICALLY THEY'RE GOING IN REVERSE TO, THEY'RE WANTING A, THEY'RE WANTING A SUP FOR A SEAT.

ONE ZONE.

THAT WAS ONE.

WHAT HERE? THESE SUVS WILL BITE YOU LATER ON.

WELL, I CAN, I SPEAK TO, WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO PROTECT BOTH THE SIDES.

THEN AGAIN, IF THE NEIGHBORS COME IN WITH A C ONE, THEY WANT TO BUILD WHATEVER, THEN THEY COME IN.

IT'S JUST THE WAY IT'S YEAH.

THEY'VE GOT A, THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC, THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IF THEY SELL THAT HOUSE, IF THEY GET A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TONIGHT.

IF SHE SELLS THAT HOUSE TOMORROW.

THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IS VOID.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO WHOEVER, IF YOU SELL IT, SOMEBODY ELSE WOULD HAVE TO COME IN AND GET ANOTHER SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IF THEY WERE GONNA MOVE INTO IT.

OH, WELL I DON'T PLAN ON SELLING IT.

I PLAN ON LIVING THERE.

BUT YEAH, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

AS YOU COULD SEE THE NEIGHBORS COME IN UHHUH OR SOMEBODY BUYS THE LAND BESIDE YOU.

OH, THEY'RE ALREADY, THERE'S ALREADY PEOPLE THAT, THAT HAVE PROPERTIES COMMERCIAL ON EITHER SIDE.

THEY ARE COMMERCIAL ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE ALREADY.

AND YOU'RE OKAY.

YEAH, THAT'S FINE.

BECAUSE I MEAN WE, WE BOUGHT IT AS A HOME, LIKE I SAID.

AND BASICALLY THE ONE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A BUSINESS.

IT'S A BUILDING FOR A BUSINESS, BUT THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING THERE.

AND THE OTHER LADY AND THE ONE THAT SELLS THE DRESSES AND STUFF, YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT THE BUSINESS IS THERE.

SHE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TRAFFIC EITHER.

AND THEY HAVE THEIR HOME IN THE BACK.

I MEAN THE HOUSE HAS ALL THE PLUMBING FIXTURES.

SHE'S GOT HER HOUSE IN THE BACK.

SAME THING ACROSS THE STREET.

THEY HAVE THEIR HAIRCUT, BUT THEY HAVE, THEY LIVE THERE TOO.

[01:20:02]

YEAH, EVERY, IT'S IT'S A HOUSE.

THEIR, THEIR PERMIT REQUEST WAS TO DO SOME RENOVATIONS ON THE HOUSE AND THEN ALSO TO START WATER SERVICE.

AND SO WE DENIED THE, THE BUILDING PERMIT BECAUSE IT'S A NON-CONFORMING USE WITHOUT AN SUP.

OKAY, COOL.

HOW ABOUT WE'LL GET TO THAT LATER ON.

ANYTHING ELSE? NO, THAT'S ALL.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

NEXT ITEM WOULD BE THOSE OPPOSED TO THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

FIRST ITEM TO READ LETTERS.

I HAVE NONE.

IS THERE ANYONE IN CHAMBERS THAT IS OPPOSED TO A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THIS PROPERTY? WELL, I WILL ABSTAIN FROM VOTING, BUT I JUST BOUGHT PROPERTY DOWN FROM THIS AND UH, I PAID PRETTY PREMIUM COMMERCIAL MONEY FOR IT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WAS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND ALL OF THAT WAS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND IT WOULD BE STAYED AND SOLD THAT WAY AND THEN IT, IT WAS REINVESTED OR ANOTHER BUSINESS WAS PUT THERE.

OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD HELP THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY I HAD PURCHASED.

UH, WHEN IN REALITY THIS IS GOING BACKWARDS WITH THE VALUE.

SO I, I FEEL FOR THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

UH, BUT BACK TO YOUR POINT, UH, I'M ASSUMING THAT THIS WAS DONE TO MAKE MAIN STREET COMMERCIAL? THAT'S CORRECT.

AT SOME POINT LONG BEFORE, LONG BEFORE MY TIME, THAT MAIN STREET WOULD BE CONSIDERED RETAIL, COMMERCIAL OR SOMETHING DOWN THAT LINE.

AND BOTH OF THE PROPERTIES NEXT TO THIS PROPERTY WERE REINVESTED IN JUST WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR SO, COUPLE YEARS.

AND THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A BIG A METAL BUILDING GO BACK THERE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.

AND I JUST TOTALLY REDONE THE BUILDING UP FROM THAT.

UM, IT'S A, IT'S A REAL BAD SITUATION, BUT, SO THE REALTOR DOESN'T HOLD ANY RESPONSIBILITY.

WE SIGNED FOR A HOUSE.

SO THEY'RE OUT OF THE, WELL, IF YOU SIGNED FOR A HOUSE, THEY WERE TO DISCLOSE TO YOU THAT THAT HOUSE COULDN'T BE LIVED IN WITHOUT AN SUV.

DID THEY DISCLOSE THAT? NO, THEY, YEAH, THEY SAID THAT WE COULD LIVE THERE.

I MEAN THAT'S BUT THEY DIDN'T DISCLOSE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL NO.

FOR A HOUSE.

NO.

AND THAT'S UNFORTUNATE 'CAUSE THAT LEAVES YOU HOLDING THE BACK ANYWAY.

THAT, THAT'S, PEOPLE LIVE THERE.

THAT'S MY CONCERN WITH THE SUVS.

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW RESIDENTS AND MAIN STREETS GO A LOT FURTHER OUT WEST.

THERE'S A LOT OF HOUSES ON MAIN STREET.

SO, UH, YEAH.

AND I WOULD NOTE AS PART OF THE CITY'S LIVABLE CENTERS PLAN, THIS IS THE PRIMARY AREA FOR CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT FOR COMMERCIAL AND MIXED.

THAT'S GONNA BE MY, WHEN WE GOT INTO THE CONTRACT, I'M SORRY.

YEAH, I DIDN'T MEAN TO AND THAT WAS MY GOAL.

TO INVEST IN COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ON MAIN STREET AND INCLUDE, CORRECT.

THAT'S ALL COMMENTS FOR PLANNING AND ZONING.

I THINK WE SHARE A LOT OF THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT KEEP OUR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS OR COMMERCIAL.

UM, IF WE START LABORING TOO MUCH, THEN WE GET .

THAT'S HOW WE GOT HERE.

CREATING THAT DOWNTOWN IN THAT SECTION WHERE IT'S ALREADY COMMERCIALIZED.

COMMENTS FROM MAYOR CITY COUNCIL? MY ONLY COMMENT IS I, YOU KNOW, LIKE JEFF SAID, YOU KNOW, I, I FEEL FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER, BUT I, WE'VE BEEN, THAT, THAT PROPERTY THERE, THAT WHOLE SECTION, THERE WAS REZONED COMMERCIAL LIKE JEFF SAID.

SO THAT WE CAN GO THROUGH ABOUT PLANS LIKE OUR LIVABLE CENTERS, UH, WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO RECREATE OR REFORM A DOWNTOWN, UH, RIGHT ON MAIN STREET AND A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

I MEAN, HA I DON'T, I LIKE YOU SAID, I DON'T KNOW HOW HAVING THE BUSINESSES INVESTING 'CAUSE WE DO HAVE BUSINESSES THERE THAT ARE INVESTING INTO OUR IDEAS OF

[01:25:01]

I DUNNO, THAT'S, THAT'S MY ONLY COMMENT ON, UM, IT'S A ROUGH SITUATION BECAUSE IF THEY WOULD'VE, THEY WOULD'VE SAID IF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE SELLING IT OR THE REALTOR OR SOMEBODY WOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING, I JUST CAN'T GIVE, THE REALTOR DIDN'T HAVE TO DISCLOSE THAT IT SEEMS, OR THE TITLE ESPECIALLY, OR IF THEY DID, IT WAS A REAL TINY FINE PRINT AND THEY SIGNED THAT.

DO YOU KNOW THE COMMENT AT THE TIME, AND WE PROBABLY DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS AT THE TIME, THAT ALL OF THIS WAS REZONED AS C ONE DID THE PERSON THAT OWNED THAT HOUSE, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A BUSINESS.

IT MAY HAVE HAD A SHOP IN IT AT ONE TIME.

NO, I THINK, BUT THAT DOES NOT, IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY STOREFRONT FEEL TO IT.

THERE'S NO PLACE FOR ANYBODY TO PARK TO SAY IT'S COMMERCIAL.

SO DID THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS REZONED, DID THEY FIGHT THE SYSTEM AND IT WAS REZONED WHETHER THEY LIKED IT OR NOT AND THEY JUST STAYED LIVING THERE USING AS A HOUSE.

HUH? WAS IT THAT PART OF THIS THEY COULD'VE KICKED THEM OUT THEIR HOUSE UNLESS THEY WERE GONNA PURCHASE THAT HOUSE FROM SO YEAH, SO THE, THE, THE RULE IS WHENEVER, WHENEVER THEY, YOU HAVE AN EXISTING USE OF RESIDENCE RIGHT? AND YOU'RE LIVING IN THAT HOUSE AND THEN THE CITY CHANGES THE ZONING TO COMMERCIAL, THEN YOUR, YOUR GRANDFATHER.

RIGHT? BUT YOU'RE JUST GRANDFATHERED FOR THAT OWNER.

RIGHT? RIGHT.

SO, UH, AND THE, AND THE, THE GENERAL PLAN USUALLY WHEN YOU REZONE IS LIKE, OKAY, WE HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL, THE LONG-TERM PLAN IS FOR IT TO BE COMMERCIAL.

AND SO GRADUALLY AS PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, MOVE OUT, UH, PASS AWAY, WHATEVER, THAT THAT THEN THAT PROPERTY WAS USED PER HOUSE WILL THEN BECOME COMMERCIAL.

'CAUSE THAT'S THE FUTURE PLAN, RIGHT? SO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE AT THE TIME, IT WAS REZONED, THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

'CAUSE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO STAY AS A NON-CONFORMING USE.

BUT WHENEVER THEY SELL IT OR MOVE OUT OR WHATEVER, THEN IT'S COMMERCIAL.

AND THE PLAN IS, THE HOPE IS THOSE OLDER HOUSES WILL BE TORN DOWN AND SOME COMMERCIAL USE WILL BE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S PART OF THE URBAN RENEWAL.

RENEW, YOU KNOW, RENEW YOUR AREA.

THAT'S LIKE THE OLD BUILDINGS GO DOWN AND NEW BUILDINGS GO UP IN COMMERCIAL.

I, I, THAT'S GENERALLY HOW IT WORKS.

I CAN TELL YOU THIS MUCH.

THERE WAS A FAMILY LIVED IN THE HOUSE WHEN I WAS A KID HERE.

IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S EVER BEEN USED AS A BUSINESS.

NO, I DON'T.

I I, YEAH, I DON'T THINK SO.

IT'S LIKE HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN NON-CONFORMING? THE GOAL IS TO TURN IT ALL INTO MURDER.

SO, BUT HOW MANY FAMILIES HAVE LIVED THERE SINCE THAT? THAT'S NOT FAIR TO THEM.

IT'S NOT NO.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED TO HER.

ABSOLUTELY.

BUT IT SHOULD END WITH THAT LAST .

IT SHOULD END, IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED WITH THAT LAST PROPERTY OWNER HAVING THE YEAH.

UNDERSTAND THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING THERE SUIT WENT.

YEAH, WE DID GO THROUGH THE THREE.

WHAT ARE SAYING SHOULD NO, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, YEAH, WE JUST, WE GAVE FOR GRANTED.

IT BECAME COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

1975, THE CITY OF CLU CREATED A ZONING ORDINANCE.

WE REZONED THE ENTIRE CITY.

ALL OF MAIN STREET AT THAT TIME WAS DESIGNATED AS C ONE.

SO WE COULD HAVE ALL COMMERCIAL OWNED THE ROAD.

THERE WAS SEVERAL HOUSES, THERE WAS HOUSES HERE.

THERE WAS THREE OR FOUR HOUSES WHERE THE CITY HALL SITS RIGHT NOW.

ONE, THE OTHER ONES WERE ON THE OTHER STREET, .

THEY WERE IN THE, THEY WERE ON THE PROPERTY AND EVENTUALLY ALL, WHEN THEY GOT SOLD OUT AND THERE, IT, IT ALL REVERTED BACK TO COMMER COMMERCIAL.

AND THAT'S HOW THE, IT ALL STARTED IN 1975 WHEN WE DID IT.

AND THEN IN 2016 WHEN WE REDID IT, WE RE-LOOKED AT THE THING.

I WAS ON THE, I WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE, I WAS ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND WE CONSI WE STILL HAD IT AT C ONE AND WE LEFT IT THERE BECAUSE WE WANTED COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TO REINVEST AND MAKE DOWNTOWN A

[01:30:01]

COMMERCIAL AREA TO SHOP AT.

AND THAT'S HOW IT, IT ALL BECAME UP LIKE THAT.

IS THIS THE LAST RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE I GUESS YOU COULD SAY ON MAIN STREET? NO, IT'S THERE.

BUT THE ADDRESSES ARE ON THE YES, THE HOUSE FACES MAIN BUT THE ADDRESS I BELIEVE.

YEAH, THE ADDRESS ORCHARD IS UH, I THINK THERE'S ONLY TWO, THERE'S ONLY TWO OTHER ONES IN THIS ONE.

YEAH, YOU'RE CORRECT.

AND THAT MAY BE PART OF OUR DOWNTOWN CONFUSION NOW BECAUSE THERE'S VACANT LOTS THAT ARE FOR SALE.

LIKE WHEN SHE WAS, ROSIE WAS GOING DOWN THE STREET AND STUFF.

I ASSUME THOSE USED TO BE RESIDENTIAL CAME C ONE AND NOW THEY'RE JUST MAKING LOTS.

IIII GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS TO OFFER MORE COMMERCIAL RIGHT.

BUSINESS.

WELL THOSE COMMERCIALS, IT JUST SO YOU INVEST IN A PIECE OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THAT ANOTHER PIECE IS GOING TO GO IN.

NOT TO BE THE GREED HOPING MINE WOULD GO, BUT NO, THAT'S, NO THAT, THAT, THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT BEHIND THE ZONE CHANGE.

WELL THEY'RE NOT ASKING TO RESOLVE.

NO, THEY'RE ASKING FOR AN SUP.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND.

COMMERCIAL.

THESE PEOPLE HANGING OUT RIGHT NOW TO DRIVE.

APPARENTLY THEY GOT BAD INFORMATION.

SO, SO WHAT DO YOU DO? I MEAN, OH THAT'S THE TEAR.

I, I YEAH, YOU CAN'T REALLY, IS IT A CITY ISSUE? IS IT A ISSUE? ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM MAYOR OR CITY COUNCIL? GONNA CLOSE DISCUSSION AND HEAR RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION.

MOTION.

ANYBODY CARRY A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT.

WE GOT A SECOND.

SEND THE SUP TO COUNCIL.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIED.

WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SUP BE GRANTED UNDER ALL THE NORMAL CRITERIA THAT'S INVOLVED.

NEXT ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTIONS OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE OR DENY THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION THAT THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT BE GRANTED FOR, UH, 2 49 SOUTH MAIN STREET.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL PERSON.

MADDOX.

I'LL SECOND.

SECOND BY COUNCIL PERSON.

BOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SIMPLY BECAUSE BUSINESSES AND RESIDENCES HAVE EXISTED SIDE BY SIDE ALL THESE YEARS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CAN'T CONTINUE TO DO SO.

MY THING IS, NO COMMERCIAL WAS BANGING DOWN A DOOR TO GET THAT PROPERTY AND BUILD SOMETHING ON IT.

SO I'M LIKE, WE GOT VACANT LOTS AND STUFF ON MAIN STREET.

I'D RATHER SOMEBODY TAKE THIS HOUSE THAN IF THEY WANTED TO CONTINUE TO HAVE IT BE COMMERCIAL.

THEY SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT.

REMODEL IT.

MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY.

AT LEAST WE GOT SOMETHING PRETTY ON MAIN STREET.

OKAY, HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ENTERTAIN A VOTE.

MOVE INTO THE REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING.

OPPOSED? ALL ABSTAIN FROM VOTING.

UH, COUNCIL, COUNCIL RIS ABSTAIN.

COUNCILMAN AGUILAR VOTES? NO.

AND COUNCIL PERSON MAD COUNCILMAN LOPEZ.

AND COUNCIL PER BOND VOTES? YES.

SORRY.

YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

PLANNING AND

[III. ADJOURN JOINT PUBLIC HEARING]

ZONING.

COMMISSION CARE TO ADJOURN.

ALRIGHT, WELL WE WILL ADJOURN THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING SECTION AND TAKE ABOUT A FIVE MINUTE BREAK THAT QUICK BEFORE WE

[01:35:01]

[V. CONSENT AGENDA]

AGENDA ITEMS LISTED UNDER CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE ARE GENERALLY ENACTED IN ONE MOTION.

THE ACCEPTED THIS RULE IS THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY REQUEST ONE OR MORE ITEMS BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR SEPARATE ACTION.

TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA CONSISTS OF COUNCILOR RESCHEDULE NOVEMBER 27TH, 2025, AND DECEMBER 25TH, 2025.

COUNCIL MEETINGS, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, WEEKEND ENDING OCTOBER 24TH, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 31ST, AN ACCOUNTS PAYABLE ENDING WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER THE SEVENTH MINUTES FROM A COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING ON OCTOBER THE 20TH, 2025, COUNCIL ACTING AS BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS ON OCTOBER 20, 23, 20 25 AND REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING ON OCTOBER 23RD, 2025.

SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN AGUILAR.

I'LL SECOND MOVE BY COUNCILPERSON BOND.

ANY ITEMS NEED TO BE REMOVED? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF I MOVE TO COUNCIL PAYABLE FOR ENDING OCTOBER 31ST.

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, AND I AM ASSUMING I ALREADY KNOW, BUT I'M JUST ASK, UH, THE, UH, DUMPING THAT WE HAD OVER AT HIGHLAND PARK, THE DUMPING THAT WE HAD OVER AT HOT YES.

THE DUMPING WE HAD OVER AT HIGHLAND PARK.

UH, THAT'S WHAT LED TO THIS, UH YES.

VACUUM TRUCK BILL.

AND THERE'S NOWHERE TO PASS THAT ON OR NO CHANCE OF, WE'RE TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE TRUCK, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A AUTO CODE VIDEO SOURCE TO TAKE IT BACK.

UM, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING CAMERAS UP OUT THERE.

UH, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT SOMEBODY'S ILLEGALLY DUMPED A WELL.

UH, BUT IN THIS CASE WE GOT THE TOP OF THE TRUCK BUT NOT THE LICENSE PLATE.

AND THIS IS A PROBABLY A LOADED QUESTION.

WE'RE ALREADY LATE.

UH, HOW, HOW DO WE PICK WHO DOES THAT? THERE'S NOT VERY MANY COMPANIES.

DO YOU HAVE LIKE CLEAN HARBOR OR MAGNAFLOW THAT IT TAKES A COMPANY LIKE THAT TO COME OUT THERE TO SUCK THESE THINGS OUT AND BACK 'EM OUT AND THERE'S THERE'S NOT REALLY ANYBODY ELSE THAT COMES IN THAT DOES THAT KIND OF STUFF JUST BECAUSE IT'S ALL, IT'S, IT'S IT'S OIL, CHEMICALS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

I MEAN THEY DUMPED, WE ESTIMATED PROBABLY 4,200 GALLONS IN INSIDE THAT MANHOLE AND IT WENT STRAIGHT DOWN THE LINE TO THE LIFT STATION.

FORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT A BIG LIFT STATION THAT SERVED THE BIG AREA.

UH, IT IT, LIKE CJ SAID, THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT TRYING TO PUT CAMERAS OUT THERE TO TRY TO CATCH 'EM.

THIS HAPPENED PROBABLY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.

IT WAS NOT QUITE AS BAD.

BUT THIS HERE, BASED OFF THE TIME THAT THEY WERE THERE, THERE WAS A CAMERA THERE AT THE CORNER BUSINESS THERE.

BUT IT WAS DARK AND THEY COULD JUST TELL THE FIGURE OF A TRUCK COULD NOT MAKE OUT ANYTHING ON THE TRUCK ITSELF.

BUT THE TIMEFRAME THAT THEY WERE THERE, THE AMOUNT OF STUFF THAT THEY WERE ESTIMATED ABOUT 4,200 GALLONS WAS, WAS DUMPED INTO THE VAN.

4,200, 4,200 GALLONS.

SO THAT'S A BIG TRUCK.

IT WAS A BIG TRUCK.

IT WAS SOMEBODY THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY PICKING UP FROM SOMEWHERE AND TRYING TO MAX BE HONEST WITH YOU, MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFITS AS OPPOSED TO TAKING IT TO WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO.

ANY OTHER ITEM? ANY ITEM NEED TO BE REMOVED? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A VOTE.

WOULD BE BUSINESS ITEMS. AND THE FIRST ITEM IS REQUEST APPEAR BEFORE COUNCIL RESIDENT RA LAURA OF 1 0 9 RIVER DRIVE.

NEXT ITEM

[VI. BUSINESS ITEMS]

REQUEST A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE RECENT WATER AND SEWER RATE INCREASE.

SPECIFICALLY SHE SEEKS CLARIFICATION ON HOW THESE FUNDS WILL BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ESSENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING MUCH NEEDED, NEEDED REPAIR TO HARVEY STREET ENHANCED LIGHTING ALONG 2 88 B AND EXPANDED RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE CHILDREN.

MY NAME IS VERA SALINA.

LARA, I AM HERE BECAUSE I HAVE THREE THINGS THAT I WANNA DISCUSS WITH THE CITY ABOUT THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT I'M HERE FOR BECAUSE OF MY WATER BILL.

IT IS RIDICULOUS.

I, MY WATER BILL DOUBLED.

I, I AM, I LIVE BY MYSELF AND MY HOUSE AT 1 0 9 EAST RIVER DRIVE.

I WASH CLOTHES ONCE A WEEK AND I TAKE A BATH ON

[01:40:01]

SATURDAYS ONLY.

SO IF Y'ALL SMELL SOMETHING, IT'S MEAT.

ANYWAY.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, THERE IS NO WAY, NO WAY THAT I HAVE SPENT $129 ON WATER.

MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY A YEAR AGO AND MY INCOME WENT DOWN.

AS EVERYBODY KNOWS, WHEN THEIR SPOUSES DIE, THEY LOSE THE CHECK.

WELL, SADLY TO SAY I'M IN THAT POSITION, I LOST A CHECK.

I LOST MY CHECK AND THEY GAVE ME MY HUSBAND'S.

I LIVE ON ONE INCOME.

I CANNOT AFFORD IT.

THE WATER.

IT'S RIDICULOUS.

I WAS NEVER TOLD IT WAS GONNA GO UP AND IT WENT UP.

I THINK THAT DURING THE TIME THAT, THAT ALL OF THIS SNAPS AND GOVERNMENT CLOSING AND EVERYTHING HAPPENING TO A LOT OF US SENIOR CITIZENS HAVE, IT'S RIDICULOUS FOR THIS TO HAVE BEEN IMPOSED SO HIGH AT ONE TIME.

THERE SHOULD, I MEAN, I DON'T REMEMBER EVER RECEIVING A LETTER LETTING ME KNOW MY WATER BILL WAS GONNA GO UP.

'CAUSE I WOULD'VE BEEN HERE WHEN THAT LETTER HIT MY HOUSE.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, Y'ALL DID NOT TAKE CONSIDERATION IN THE ELDERS, THE DISABILITIES AND, AND, AND THE LOW INCOME PEOPLE.

NOT EVERYBODY LIVES ON THREE CHECKS OR TWO CHECKS, NOT ESPECIALLY THE US I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 1959.

I'VE LIVED HERE IN CLUTE.

I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THINGS COME IN AND COME OUTTA CLUE.

AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

WHEN BARBARA HESTER AND BILL PENNINGTON WERE HERE IN OFFICE, YOU COULD SIT THERE AND TALK TO THEM IN PERSON.

THEY HAD AN OPEN DOOR POLICY.

YOU CAN'T GO IN AND TALK TO THE CITY MANAGER WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS.

AND WHEN YOU DO MAKE APPOINTMENT, YOU HAVE TO WAIT LIKE THREE OR FOUR DAYS.

AND THEN HE'S BEHIND BARS.

BARBARA HESTER AND BILL PENNINGTON WERE HUMAN BEINGS THAT STOOD BESIDE US.

THEY UNDERSTOOD US.

AND AND I THINK THAT Y'ALL SHOULD ALL UNDERSTAND US, ESPECIALLY YOU ALL FUDDY DUDDIES LIKE ME, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL GETTING OLD.

WE'RE ALL GETTING OLD.

AND, AND IT'S OKAY IF WE DIE 'CAUSE WE AIN'T GONNA HAVE NO BILLS UP IN HEAVEN.

BUT RIGHT NOW THAT WE LIVE HERE IN OUR, IN OUR EARTH, AND I AM A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, I AM A RESIDENT OF CLUE TEXAS.

I HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE 1959.

I AM A REGISTERED VOTER.

AND I, I BELIEVE MY RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VERY WELL, TOOK AN ADVANTAGE OF THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

IT'S NOT HURTING JUST ME.

IT'S HURTING PEOPLE LIKE US.

I DON'T BELIEVE THE CITY OF CLUTE NEEDS ANY MORE RAISES, PERIOD.

I AM AGAINST ALL THAT.

IF YOU HAVE TO EAT BEANS LIKE ME, GUESS WHAT? YOU GOTTA EAT BEANS LIKE ME.

BUT ANYWAY, THAT IS MY MY THING.

I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE FIXED WITH THAT.

PEOPLE DON'T WANNA COME IN HERE AND TALK TO Y'ALL ONLY BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE IT IN THEIR MIND.

IT'S NOT GONNA DO THEM NO GOOD TO COME AND TALK TO Y'ALL BECAUSE Y'ALL DON'T LISTEN TO US PEOPLE.

AND I'M SAYING TO Y'ALL THAT Y'ALL SHOULD HAVE MORE CONSIDERATION FOR THE ELDERS.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.

WE'RE ALL JUST ABOUT ELDERLYS.

BUT Y'ALL GOT TWO PAYCHECKS.

I ONLY GOT ONE.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M LETTING Y'ALL KNOW RIGHT NOW, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT Y'ALL'S PLANS ARE, BUT Y'ALL CAN COME PICK UP YOUR METER AND IF I HAVE TO, Y'ALL JUST CONTINUE MY LIFE.

'CAUSE THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

Y'ALL KNOW IT.

THAT WAS A BIG RAISE THAT Y'ALL DID IN OUR BILL.

ANOTHER THING THAT I'M VERY AWARE ABOUT, , I DON'T KNOW WHO, BUT I DO KNOW WHO DIDN'T THREW A, THREW A MATTRESS IN MY, IN, IN, IN THE STREET AT ON 1 0 9 EAST RIVER DRIVE.

IT'S A HEAVY MATTRESS.

WHEN I BUY A MATTRESS, THE MATTRESS PEOPLE DELIVER MY MATTRESS AND THEY PICK UP MY OLD ONE.

I DON'T EVER PUT IT ON THE ROAD.

I'M NOT GONNA PAY $85 TO PICK IT UP.

THEY TOLD ME TO CUT IT UP IN PIECES AND PUT IT IN GARBAGE BAGS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT THING LOOKS WHERE IT'S BEEN.

WHO LAID IN IT, WHAT DISEASES DOES IT HAVE? NO, BEFORE THAT JANUARY THING COMES IN,

[01:45:02]

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GO PICK UP THAT MATTRESS.

IT'S, IT'S IN MY DITCH.

IT BELONGS TO THE CITY.

THE DITCH IT BELONGS TO THE CITY.

A CLUE.

IT'S NOT EVEN IN MY PROPERTY.

IF I HAVE TO MOVE IT, I'LL MOVE IT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

BUT THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

IT SHOULD BE PICKED UP AND THROWN AWAY PROPERLY.

THAT'S Y'ALL'S JOB.

'CAUSE THAT'S NOT MINE.

I CAN'T, I CAN'T BARELY WALK MUCH LESS.

PICK IT UP.

OKAY? SO THAT IS INCLUDE, THE ONLY THING WE HAVE HERE INCLUDE THE, INCLUDE OFFERS US IS THE MOSQUITO FESTIVAL.

OUR SWIMMING POOL GONE.

MY GRANDKIDS, IF THEY WANNA GO SWIMMING, THEY HAVE TO GO TO LAKE JACKSON OR ANGLETON.

I DON'T PAY TAXES IN LAKE JACKSON OR ANGLETON.

I PAY TAXES HERE.

INCLUDE WHY WE NEVER FIXED BECAUSE IT COST A LOT OF MONEY.

WELL SOMETIMES GUESS WHAT? JUST LIKE I HAVE TO TIGHTEN UP MY BELT.

Y'ALL GOTTA TIGHTEN UP YOUR BELT TOO.

IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT, WHAT YOU WANT.

IT'S ABOUT WHAT, WHAT WE CAN AFFORD.

AND THIS IS, AND IT'S GETTING OUTTA HAND.

SOMEBODY IS NOT DOING THEIR JOB AS FAR TO, AS FAR AS FOR ME.

I WOULD LIKE ANONYMIZED BILL TELLING ME, SHOWING ME WHAT Y'ALL SPEND OUR MONEY ON.

THAT WOULD BE NICE.

I HAVE TO KEEP ONE UP TOO.

SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? Y'ALL WORK FOR US.

WE DON'T WORK FOR Y'ALL.

AM I WRONG? BUT RIGHT.

DO Y'ALL WORK FOR ME OR DO I WORK FOR Y'ALL? ALL I DO IS PAY YOUR BILLS.

HELP PAY THE BILLS.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER.

AND I'M GETTING REAL.

I'M OLDER IN MY AGE.

BUT ANYWAY, IT TAKES OUR DRIVEWAYS, OUR ROADS, ALL THESE ROADS HERE ARE OLD ROADS.

Y'ALL ALREADY KNOW THAT.

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL Y'ALL.

HARVEY STREET HAS BEEN PROMISED FOR THREE OR FOUR YEARS.

'CAUSE I, THAT WAS MY OLD ADDRESS.

SIX 17 HARVEY STREET.

I, I HAD IT CLEANED UP.

BILL PENNINGTON WENT OVER THERE AND I TOLD HIM, I SAID, HEY BILL, MY ROAD LOOKS LIKE CRAP.

I SAID, AND EVERY TIME THEY COME FIX MY ROAD, THEY DO A HALF A SS JOB.

SO WHY CAN'T YOU FIX IT? RIGHT? SO WHAT DID THEY DO? THEY GO IN THERE, THEY DIG THE DITCHES AND THEY MADE THE MADE, MADE THE STREET HIGHER THAN JUST BY MY FRONT DOOR.

BUT THEY FIXED IT.

THEY DID A GOOD JOB.

NOW GUESS WHAT, 30 YEARS DOWN THE LINE, IT'S MESSED UP AGAIN.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TRASHY, BUT NOT ALL OF US ARE TRASHY.

I MAINTAIN MY, MY DITCH AND I, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE THIS DISH DOESN'T BELONG TO ME.

BUT WHEN I LIVED IN HARVEY STREET, I DID THE SAME THING.

I MAINTAINED THAT, THAT DISH, THERE'S A LOT OF LAZY PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE, HEY, COME ON, GET ON THE, GET ON THE GET IN IT OR GET OUT ONE OF THE TWO CLEAN, CLEAN YOUR PLACES.

THIS IS CLUE.

THIS IS A SMALL TOWN.

WHEN I CAME IN HERE IN 59, I CAN TELL YOU JUST ABOUT THE PLACES THAT WERE HERE.

SO I'M SAYING TO Y'ALL, CLU SHOULD NOT GO DOWN.

CLU SHOULD NOT GO DOWN.

WE SHOULD NOT JUST HAVE MOSQUITO FESTIVALS.

WE SHOULD HAVE FOR OUR TOMORROW'S FUTURE.

OUR CHILDREN, OUR GRANDCHILDREN SHOULD, BECAUSE OUR BRAG ABOUT CLU.

I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN FREEPORT, TEXAS.

AND LEMME TELL YOU WHAT, CLU IS MY TOWN.

AND I, I DON'T THINK, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD EVEN HAVE TO COME UP HERE AND AND SAY TO Y'ALL HOW I FEEL.

BUT OUR STREETS ARE IN BAD SHAPE.

YOU GO TO HARVEY STREET IN WHERE I COME FROM, THEY PUT A METAL SHEET ON TOP OF THE ROAD.

IT'S BEEN THERE ABOUT THREE OR FOUR YEARS NOW.

THEY'RE GONNA COME FIX IT UP.

IT'S ON THE AGENDA, MS. LAURA, IT'S GONNA COME FIX IT UP.

I AIN'T SEEN NOBODY COME AND FIX IT UP.

AND THAT, AND THAT SILVER PANEL IS STILL THERE.

WHATEVER Y'ALL WANNA CALL IT, A METAL OR WHATEVER.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S NUMBER TWO.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE MY TAXES GO ON.

I WOULD SURE LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT WE HAVE TO DO.

WE DON'T HAVE NOTHING, NOTHING.

YOU WONDER WHY

[01:50:01]

OUR KIDS ARE GOING BACK.

WHERE DO THEY GO TO A PLACE? WHAT, WHAT CLU SHOULD OPEN DOORS FOR FOR YOUNG KIDS? WHAT IS HE? WHAT WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, WE USED TO LOVE TO GO DANCING.

AM I WRONG OR RIGHT? YOU KNOW WHY, WHY NOT NOUN? WHY NOT NOUN? I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF MEAN PEOPLE AND ALL THAT OUT THERE.

THERE'S BEEN MEAN PEOPLE OUT THERE FOREVER AND NEVER, NEVER.

AND GUESS WHAT? YOU ARE THE ONE IN CONTROL.

THAT'S NUMBER TWO.

OH, BEFORE I FORGET THIS ONE, THEY HAD A, I HATE TO SAY THIS, BARBARA HESTER AND, AND BILL MIN, BILL PENINGTON HAD A OPEN DOOR DISCUSSION POLICY.

HERE I GO AGAIN.

I WANT TO TALK TO SOMEBODY.

I DON'T LIKE TO BE PUT ON THE, ON THE PHONE ON HOLD.

I LIKE TO PAY MY BILLS.

I DON'T WANT NOBODY CALLING ME UP AND TELLING ME I OWE THEM.

SO IF, IF I'M THIS OLD THANKS TO GOD AND CAN DO IT, ANY OF Y'ALL CAN DO IT.

IT'S Y'ALL'S VOICES THAT COUNT.

THAT'S WHY WE APPOINTED Y'ALL.

THAT'S WHY WE VOTE FOR Y'ALL TO DO THINGS FOR US, NOT TO GO AGAINST US.

AND Y'ALL ARE GOING AGAINST US BY, BY RAISING UP THE WATER.

AND THEN THE LAST THING I'M GOING TO ASK ABOUT OR SAY, OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT, HIGHWAY TWO EIGHTY EIGHT, FOUR PEOPLE HAVE DIED THERE IN THAT ROAD WITHIN THE, THE, THE THREE YEARS.

I HAD A NEPHEW GOT RUN OVER THERE TOO.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH LIGHTS.

THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL STOP SIGN ON PLANTATION ROAD.

I THINK IT BLINKS.

IT LETS YOU KNOW YOU'RE COMING TO A STOP SIGN.

I DON'T THINK THAT THING COSTS A MILLION DOLLARS.

WHY CAN'T THEY PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE IN FRONT OF SONICS? SLOW THE PEOPLE DOWN, SLOW THE DRIVERS DOWN.

IF YOU PAY ME TO WASH THAT TRAFFIC, I'LL GET Y'ALL A LOT OF TICKETS.

YOU KNOW, I'LL TELL Y'ALL THAT RIGHT NOW.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY DESERVE TO LIVE.

PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE.

THEY'RE HAVING HARD TIMES.

NOBODY SHOULD JUDGE THEM BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY, WHAT WHATEVER THEY HAVE HAD IN THEIR LIVES.

A LOT OF THEM ARE VETERANS FOUGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY, FOR US, FOR THE FREEDOM OF OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

THEY SHOULD NOT BE TREATED LIKE THAT.

THEY SHOULD BE TREATED WITH RESPECT.

I'M NOT SAYING ALL OF 'EM, BUT I'LL GUARANTEE YOU HALF OF THEM HALF.

AND IF YOU WENT TO WAR, Y'ALL SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW THAT FELT AND HOW A LOT OF PEOPLE CAME BACK.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M HOPING AND PRAYING, AND I PUT THIS BEFORE I CAME OVER HERE, PUT IT IN MY LORD'S GOD'S HANDS THAT Y'ALL WOULD HEAR ME.

THAT Y'ALL WILL LISTEN AND THAT SOMETHING BE DONE FOR ALL OF US.

I'M TELLING Y'ALL RIGHT NOW, I CANNOT PAY THAT BILL NO MORE.

AND ROSA, I WANNA APOLOGIZE TO YOU.

I DON'T HAVE TO, BUT I'M GOING TO.

BECAUSE THAT DAY I WAS VERY UPSET.

I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA GET A HEART ATTACK WHEN I GOT, WHEN I HAD TO PAY MY WATER BILL.

Y'ALL DON'T THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH STRESS ALREADY? WE GOT CANCERS, MEDICINES, WE HAVE TO PAY OUR INSURANCE.

DON'T PAY FOR SOME OF 'EM.

COME ON.

AM I THE ONLY ONE GOING THROUGH THIS OR ARE WE ALL GOING IN THE SAME BOAT? YOU KNOW? BUT I WANNA LET Y'ALL KNOW THAT'S WHY Y'ALL ARE HERE BECAUSE WE WANT Y'ALL HERE BECAUSE I FEEL THAT Y'ALL CAN DO A GOOD JOB, A DAMN GOOD JOB.

BUT IT'S GOT TO BE WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE AND BE HONEST WITH THE PEOPLE.

HEY, LET ME KNOW.

HEY, COME ON.

BE HONEST.

THAT MOSQUITO FESTIVAL AIN'T NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.

ALL THERE ARE IS A BUNCH OF DRUNKS OUT THERE.

WE NEED SOMETHING FOR OUR KIDS, OUR KIDS TO GO TO.

NOT STUFF LIKE THAT.

THAT'S MONEY WASTED EXCEPT FOR THE JAILS.

AND THEN I HEARD A MAN GOT HUNG IN THERE NOT TOO LONG AGO.

THAT'S SAD.

WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS ARE PEOPLE HAVING? AND, AND WE'RE, AND WE'RE ADDING MORE AND MORE AND MORE.

NO WONDER PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY DO.

BUT WITH THAT, I PUT IT IN Y'ALL'S HANDS MEAN GOD BLESS, HE SHOULDN'T HAVE EVERY ONE OF Y'ALL.

AND I HOLD MY WATER BILL GOES DOWN BECAUSE I'M GONNA HAVE TO BRING BACK THAT WATER METER.

I CANNOT AFFORD IT Y'ALL TO GO.

THEY SAID,

[01:55:16]

Y'ALL LET KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

OR DO I HAVE TO COME BACK? WHAT HAPPENS? ON, ON WHICH ACCOUNT? HUH? ERIC? UM, THE WATER BILL.

WATER.

UNLESS YOU DON'T WANT TO PICK A BATHROOM ON AND I'M SERIOUS MAN.

I WOULD GO THROUGH YOUR HOUSE AND LOOK AND MAKE SURE THERE'S NO TOILETS LEAKING AND STUFF BECAUSE THAT DOES SOUND HIGH FOR THE WATER USAGE.

YOU'RE SAYING, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN GO INTO MY HOUSE ANYTIME YOU WANNA, MY EARS ARE NOT GONE.

IF I HEAR A WATER LEAK, I'LL BE THE FIRST ONE.

IT JUST SEEMS HIGH.

JOHN.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

THEY, I DO NOT USE 3,900 GALLONS WATER.

NOT ONE PERSON.

THEN MAYBE WE NEED TO GET THE METER CHECKED.

CAN WE? YEAH.

CAN WE GET THE METER CHECKED ON MS. VERA'S HOUSE? YEAH.

AND TAKING UNDER CONSIDERATION.

WE'LL GET IT CHECKED OUT.

YOU'LL GET YOU CHECKED.

NOW WE'LL START WITH, WE'LL START WITH THAT.

, THANK YOU FOR COMING.

HEAR ME? WE HEARD VERY SAD.

THERE'S A LOT OF MEANS THAT I OUT HERE IN FOOD, A LOT OF MEANS THAT CAN BARELY EAT, BUY FOOD BECAUSE WE DON'T QUALIFY FOR FOOD STAMP AND WE DON'T QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID BECAUSE WE MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW I MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY, BUT THAT'S A FOR YOU.

OKAY? AND I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT.

I WORKED ALL MY LIFE.

I WORKED A LOT.

I RETIRED AT 70 YEARS OLD.

SO THAT'S GONNA KIND OF TAKE HOW OLD I'M, I RETIRED AT 70 YEARS OLD.

I GOT MY OWN CHECK.

I WAS GETTING $1,800 A MONTH.

MY HUSBAND WAS GETTING HERE AS 21 WHEN, WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED, ALL I GOT WAS A 21 AND IT TOOK ALL MINE AWAY.

IT'S HARD TO LIVE ON TWO $2,100 A MONTH.

VERY HARD.

THANK YOU MS. ZOE FOR COMING.

PROPERTY LINES AND TREES UNDER POWER LINES AS WELL AS TO ADDRESS POLICE INTERVENTION AND REPORTING CRIMES.

THE GUY WITH A METER.

IT'S TOO HARD TO TO, THEY'RE GONNA SEE THE GUY CHECK MY WATER METER FIRST.

OKAY? ALL OF HAVE WATERS TOO.

RIDICULOUS PEOPLE THAT THEIR STUFF DOUBLE.

I DUNNO HOW THEY'S DOUBLE GUARANTEE SHE GOT METERS TOO.

ANYBODY THAT HAS A CONCERN ABOUT A LEAK, WE WILL CHECK THEIR METER.

IF, IF ANY OF OUR, IF ANY RESIDENTS HERE THAT DO HAVE A COMPLAINT ON WATER AND THINK THAT THEIR WATER BILL IS HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE, WE CAN SEND JOHN OUT TO HAVE IT CHECKED RIGHT NOW.

JOHN, I MEAN I, THEY SAY THE WATER BILL'S GONNA GO UP, BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE DOUBLE.

NO, IT SHOULDN'T DOUBLE.

THAT'S WHY IT SHOULD NOT BE, IT SHOULD NOT BE DOUBLE MA.

I DIDN'T MR. LORD.

WE'LL GET YOU CHECKED.

GONNA BE LIKE 18 BUCKS, RIGHT? I DON'T, IT WAS THAT, IT WAS THAT I WENT UP $16.

IT SHOULD BE ABOUT RIGHT WHEN YOU COMBINE GARBAGE AND WATER.

IT WAS MORE, THAT'S WHAT IT GET THE TOTAL.

I KNOW THERE'S, THERE'S A REASON.

HUH? THERE'S A GARBAGE.

GARBAGE.

ALONE WAS 10.

OKAY, NEXT ITEM WILL BE A REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE COUNCIL DIANE CROCK, A RESIDENT AT 1 31 WASHINGTON AVENUE REQUESTED DISCUSSION TO PROHIBIT EVASIVE TREES.

TREES PLANTED WITHIN 15 FEET OF

[02:00:01]

OKAY, EXCUSE ME, I, UM, I CAME HERE MAYBE 10 YEARS AGO TO TALK ABOUT, UH, THE CITY ESTABLISHING AN ORDINANCE ABOUT TREES, ABOUT UH, PROTECTED TREES AND HERITAGE TREES AND INVASIVE TREES.

AND WE DON'T HAVE ONE.

BUT I ALSO REVIEWED LIKE WHAT DO THEY DO IN, UH, IN AUSTIN, DALLAS, SUGARLAND PEARL LAND.

WHAT IS REASONABLE? I'VE GOT A PROBABLY BIG INCENTIVE FOR THIS BECAUSE I BROUGHT SOME PICTURES.

MY NEIGHBOR NEXT DOOR TO ME PLANTED A TREE FIVE INCHES FROM MY PROPERTY LINE.

TWO OF 'EM, THEY'RE UNDER A POWER LINE.

THEY'RE ON AN EASEMENT.

AND ONE OF 'EM IS NEXT TO A UTILITY POLE, WHICH MOST COMMUNITIES DON'T ALLOW THAT YOU CAN PLANT A TREE UNDER A UTILITY LINE LIKE POWER LINE.

THIS IS PROBABLY LIKE MAYBE A 10 KD LINE, BUT UM, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ORNAMENTAL TREE, LIKE MAYBE A LITTLE BURBERRY OR SOMETHING.

CUTE LITTLE TREE.

AND THAT'S ALL THAT YOU CAN DO.

BUT HIS IS INVASIVE AND IT HAS ROOTS.

THEY'RE LIKE GROWING IN MY FOUNDATION WHERE I CUT SOME WITH MY LITTLE BATTERY OPERATED CHAINSAW, SAW THEM UP AND UM, THE UTILITY CAME AND PUT A BIG V INTO IT.

THE TREE IS DEAD.

IT'S THE OTHER TREE IS GROWING SIDEWAYS BECAUSE HALF OF IT FELL IN MY YARD AND SMASHED UP MY FENCE.

I'VE GOT ALMOST NO RIGHTS ACT TO GOD.

HE'S RECEIVED A CERTIFIED LETTER FROM ME TELLING HIM THAT, LOOK, ANY FUTURE IS, UM, INCIDENTS AND DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE, MY PROPERTY, MY FENCE, ANYTHING IS NOT GONNA BE A, UM, ACT OF GUN.

I WORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE POWER LINES.

MY BEDROOM'S RIGHT THERE AND IT'S WHIPPING AROUND.

YOU THINK THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE WAYS YOU CAN ACT IT AND START A FIRE.

THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN CALIFORNIA JUST FROM A POWER LINE.

YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS THINK OF THE ELECTRONS BEING IN THE LINE, BUT THEY'RE REALLY NOT.

THEY'RE KIND OF REALLY ON HELP OUTSIDE AND THEY CAN JUST ARC FROM THE, UM, TREE WHIPPING AROUND INTO IT.

SO I BROUGHT A PICTURE OF THIS TO SEE.

Y'ALL CAN SEE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT PASSING AROUND.

AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS INVASIVE SPECIES LIKE BA BAMBOO.

THIS IS A RIGHT ACROSS THE FIELD FROM MY HOUSE WHERE THEY MAY MAY NOT BE INVASIVE BAMBOO.

IT COULD BE UM, THEY CALL IT A GROUPING BAMBOO.

BUT THIS IS REALLY A BIRD BECAUSE THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY WAY TO GET RID OF IT.

THAT WHOLE EARTH WILL ALL HAVE TO BE AMENDED.

OH ANYWAY, THAT EARTH WILL ALL HAVE TO BE AMENDED TO BE ABLE TO GET RID OF THAT.

AND IF IT'S, UM, INVASIVE BAMBOO, IT WILL START GROWING ACROSS THE WHOLE FIELD.

THERE'S NOTHING, NO CHEMICAL, ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO TO STOP IT.

ABOUT EVERY TWO YEARS I SEE A TRACTOR TRAILER OVER THERE AND ABOUT SIX GUYS WITH CHAINSAWS GOING AT IT.

BUT I CAN SEE IT, YOU KNOW, AND I'LL SHOW YOU GUYS PICTURES OF THAT.

BUT LIKE IN, UM, SOME OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES, IF YOU HAVE A TREE THAT'S DEAD OR YOU KNOW, DANGEROUS BRANCHES OR ANYTHING ON IT THAT COULD CREATE A DANGER, YOU HAVE TO CUT IT.

IF YOU DON'T CUT IT, WE'LL CHARGE YOU FOR CUTTING IT PLUS A PENALTY.

AND, UM, I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS UNTIL RECENTLY.

THE STATE OF TEXAS HAS A RULING ON SOME, ON THIS SIX SPECIES ONLY THAT YOU'RE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO GROW ON YOUR PROPERTY.

AND TELL THOSE ONE ABOUT THREE DOORS DOWN ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DID THIS, BUT THEY LET A TREE GROWING UP RIGHT OUT THEIR FOUNDATION.

IT COULD BE A, UH, HACKER BERRY OR TELL, I'M NOT SURE.

I HATE TO GO ON THAT PROPERTY AND WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE LEAVES OF WHAT IT IS, BUT EVERY YEAR I HAVE TO DIG UP ABOUT 30 OF 'EM IN MY YARD.

YOU KNOW, HACKBERRY IS NOT REALLY A VERY PLEASANT TREE EITHER.

ONE OF 'EM, YOU DON'T PLANT A TREE.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT IS I JUST KIND OF HOPE THAT MAYBE WE COULD JUST, YOU KNOW, APPROACH IT FROM WHAT THE OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE DOING.

WHAT'S A EASY, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THE STRICTEST, BUT AT LEAST HAVE SOMETHING THAT CITIZENS HAVE SOMETHING TO GO ON.

SO MS. CLARK, JUST ON THE, JUST ON THE DISCUSSION, WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE FROM US IS JUST I GUESS SOME TYPE OF ORDINANCE OR PERTAINING SO MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE THE STRICTEST IN THE WORLD, BUT SOME THINGS THAT I THINK ARE PRETTY REASONABLE.

[02:05:02]

IT HAS TO BE AT LEAST 15 FEET FROM YOUR NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY.

YOU DON'T STICK A BIG, YOU KNOW, LIKE LIVE OAK RIGHT UP AGAINST THEIR FENCE WHERE IT'S ON THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.

YOU KNOW, THAT SEEMS, AND NOT ONLY THAT, THERE'S UM, UNDERGROUND, THAT'S WHERE THE WATER LINE COMES IN.

THERE'S JUST A LOT OF PROBLEMS WHEN PUTTING ONE THAT HAS RUNNING ROOTS THAT JUST NEVER STOP.

SO I THINK YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU MOVE THERE, IT'S ALREADY THERE ALREADY WHEN YOU CAR, WE BITE IT BECAUSE THAT WAS BEFORE AN ORDINANCE.

BUT THIS GUY ACTUALLY DID THIS AND I THOUGHT GOD CAME TO HIM.

HAVE YOU SEEN IT ON TV? THEY SAY DON'T PLANT THE TREE UNDER A COPPER LINE.

AND THEN YOU PLANT TWO GRANDBERRY, UH, WHAT DO YOU CALL RATFORD PEARS.

THEY'RE INVASIVE TREES.

THEY CAN TAKE OVER.

THEY CAN ACTUALLY STOP PROPAGATING WITH OTHER TREES AND DESTROY EVERYTHING.

PLUS THEIR ROOT SYSTEM WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING AROUND.

IT'S JUST, I A MATTER OF FACT, OHIO'S AGAINST ONE TO PLANT ONE, YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY ONE IN THE STATE.

MOST COMMUNITIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN AND THEY'RE ENCOURAGING CITIZENS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THEM TO GO AHEAD AND GET RID OF IT.

SO I COULD SAY GIVE IT THE ICE, BUT I MEAN THE TREES KIND ONE OF THEM IS KIND OF DEAD.

BUT THE OTHER ONE THAT FELL OVER IS ACTUALLY REGROWING.

YOU KNOW? AND I'M THINKING THIS THING'S GONNA BE A NIGHTMARE.

I'VE SPENT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS SEVERAL TIMES HAVING HIS TREE CUT AND I TRIED TO TALK TO HIM AND I THINK YOUR TREE'S DEAD.

DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO.

AND I'M LIKE, I'M NOT SPENDING ANY MORE MONEY ON YOUR DAMN TREE.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE CORDIAL.

BE CONSIDERATE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS.

PROFESSIONAL WEAR, NICE CLOTHES.

SO THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY ON THAT.

OKAY, THAT'S GOOD THEN.

SHE JUST LOVES IT.

UM, OKAY, THE OTHER TOPIC I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT IS A VERY SENSITIVE ISSUE.

UH, SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TO ME INCLUDE I, UM, WAS BURGLARIZED QUITE A FEW TIMES.

NOW I WAS VERBALIZED ONCE AND I WENT TO THE POLICE STATION ABOUT IT.

AND THEN ONE OTHER TIME, AND I'LL HAVE TO SAY THIS WAS MY MISTAKE, I CALLED THE POLICEMAN.

HE WAS REALLY NICE.

I THOUGHT SOMEBODY MIGHT BE MESSING WITH MY BACK DOOR, BUT IT WASN'T.

I USED TO HAVE A SECURITY SYSTEM BE BEFORE, BEFORE THE BURG WAS TORE IT UP.

UM, THE THINGS THAT THEY TOOK FROM MY HOUSE.

I USED TO TRAVEL ALL MY JOB WHEN I WORKED AS AN ENGINEER AND I, YOU KNOW, WORKED IN AFRICA.

SO I GOT 24 KARAT GOLD.

I WAS IN ITALY, I WAS IN SWITZERLAND.

I SAW A SHOPPER.

SO YOU KNOW, I HAD A LOT OF NICE STUFF AT MY HOUSE.

WELL, THEY CAME IN ONCE AND AT THE BEGINNING IT WAS JUST LIKE, OKAY, I GOT THIS IN SAN FRANCISCO.

HERE'S MY CHINESE CLAY TEAPOT.

BUT THERE WAS A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS.

AND THEN I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW PEN AND I WENT TO TAKE THE LABELS OFF OF IT AND IT WASN'T ON MY STOVE ANYMORE.

AND THEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH MY BROKEN LEG AND I CAME IN, I DUNNO, MANY PANTS.

I SHUT RECORD, GONE.

WELL, I WENT TO THE POLICE STATION AND REPORTED IT AND I'M LIKE, HE SAYS, NOW THERE PEOPLE HERE THEY WERE TRYING TO SELL.

SO IF YOU PEOPLE ARE WATCHING THE VIDEO, WHY ARE THEY UM, LOADING UP MY CAR IN THE CAR? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO GET INTO MY ALARM FOR GOD'S SAKE? THAT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.

BUT SINCE THAT TIME, THE POLICE CONTACTED MY DAUGHTER TO FIND OUT IF I'M A DEMENTIA VICTIM.

OKAY, SO YOU ARE SENIOR CITIZEN AND THE SHIT'S COMING UP MISSING GOLD NECKLACES, COUPLE GOLD CHAINS, GOLD EARRINGS, DIAMOND EARRINGS FOR GOD'S SAKE.

UM, SO YOU'VE GOT DEMENTIA.

SO WHEN THEY KEPT ON COMING BACK, WHAT COULD I DO? WHERE AM I GONNA GO? I DIDN'T KNOW.

I CALLED DELUXE THREE TIMES, KEPT ON CHANGING UP MY LOCK.

UM, UNTIL FINALLY I READ ABOUT BUNK KEYS AND UM, LOCKSMITH TOOLS.

AND YOU CAN GO TO YOUTUBE AND LEARN HOW TO BREAK INTO A HOUSE.

THESE PEOPLE COME BACK.

I CONFRONTED 'EM.

MY NEIGHBOR SAVED MY BUTT ONE TIME.

'CAUSE THEY WERE READY TO COME BACK INTO MY HOUSE.

THEY WALKED OUT WITH THINGS.

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING THAT THEY'RE DOING.

THE NEIGHBORS, EVERYONE'S WATCHING TV, WHATEVER, A CHRISTMAS TREE, A VINTAGE IRANIAN RUG.

OKAY, THAT'S A STEP.

I COME HOME, MY BED SPREAD'S, FRIGGING GONE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT DEMENTIA.

IT IS, YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY STEALING.

HOW? FOUND OUT THAT I THINK THAT THEY WERE COMING IN.

I DON'T HAVE A CAMERA ANYMORE, ONLY ONE IN THE FRONT.

BUT THE LOCKSMITH, UM, THE FOURTH TIME HE CAME, HE PUT IN A LOCK 500

[02:10:01]

LOCK.

AND IT CAN'T BE PICKED.

IT CAN'T BE BUMPED.

HE SAYS, YOU DON'T NEED THAT IN THE BACK.

WELL, I DID BECAUSE THEY WOULD COME IN THE BACK DOOR AND I PUT LOCKS ON EVERY SINGLE CLOSET, EVERY ROOM IN THE HOUSE, EVERY BEDROOM.

THAT'S A DEADBOLT LOCK.

YOU COME HOME AND EVERY LOCK THE HOUSE IS ON AND ALL THE DOORS ARE OPEN.

YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING BAD HAS HAPPENED.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? RIGHT AWAY, YOU MIGHT NOT.

I SEEN MY TV ALL TWISTED IN MY BEDROOM.

IT'S ONLY A 40 INCH.

IT WOULD FIT IN THEIR CAR.

OKAY? SO THE FEMALE OF THE LAR THE HAD ONE, I SEEN HER, SHE PARKS HER CAR WHERE THE STUFF IS AND I CONFRONTED HER.

I SAYS, LOOK, ALL THOSE SENSITIVE, YOU KEEP ON COMING AROUND HERE.

THEY GOT ALL THAT CAR, ALL THE RESTED ON THE ROOF.

AND UM, SHE SAID, WELL NO, I'M, UM, TAKING THESE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL AT 10 30 IN THE MORNING.

SHE'S THREE AND A HALF AND HE'S ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF.

THEY CAN'T GO TO SCHOOL.

WHERE I LIVE, I WAS WORKING, I JUST STOPPED WORKING IN FEBRUARY BECAUSE I HAD A SURGERY ON MY LEG.

I WAS WORKING AS A MICROBIOLOGIST.

THAT WAS MY FIRST CAREER AT UTMB.

SO I'M PRETTY SURE IF I WAS WORKING IN THE BIOTERRORISM LAB, I'M PROBABLY NOT A DEMENTIA VICTIM.

BUT, UM, THEN I'VE SEEN HIM DRIVING BY AND I EXPLAINED IT TO THE NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET AND HE SAYS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OVER HERE.

SURE AS HELL, HE CAME OUT AND THERE THEY WERE MOVING AROUND.

YOU TURN IN THE STREET, CRACK RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, THEY'RE READY TO GO.

BACK IN.

THEN I SEEN HER CRACKING.

ANOTHER GUY, I WENT TO CONFRONT HER, SHE ALMOST DROVE ME IN.

THEY'RE GOING UP 60 MILES AN HOUR DOWN THE STREET.

NOW THEY'RE AT THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR, TWO DOORS DOWN, THEY MOVED TO THEM.

UM, MY NEIGHBOR DOWN THE STREET, HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT IT 'CAUSE HE SEEN WHAT WAS GOING ON AND HE GAVE ME A GUN.

ANOTHER NEIGHBOR HAS CONFRONTED THEM TOO.

SO, YOU KNOW, THERE IS CRAP WHEN PEOPLE, I HEAR PEOPLE SAY, YOU KNOW, WELL, NOTHING HAPPENS HERE, BUT I COULD NEVER FILE AN INSURANCE REPORT.

I, I'M THINKING WITH MY POTS AND PANS.

ONE PAN FROM ITALY WAS 300 BUCKS.

YOU KNOW, THE SI WENT TO MACY'S, I CAN'T EVEN LIE.

7,500.

I NEVER COULD FILE A POLICE REPORT.

THEY WOULDN'T TAKE IT.

THEY SAID, WELL, YEAH, JUST SCRATCH IT DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER.

WHAT YOU THINK YOU'RE MISSING? I'M NOT FREAKISH TYPE OF SEARCH ROBBERY WHERE THEY'RE NOT JUST WALKING AWAY WITH YOUR TVS OR YOUR AIR CONDITIONER.

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO EVEN TELL WHAT'S MISSING BECAUSE IT GETS REVEALED AS YOU NEED IT OR WHATEVER.

YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW, I DIDN'T GO IN MY HAT FOR MONTHS.

I DIDN'T KNOW CHRISTMAS TREE WAS GONE GOOD BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO CARRY IT DOWN.

I COULDN'T DO IT ANYMORE.

SO THEY HELPED ME OUT ON THAT THING.

BUT, UM, I DON'T, I ACTUALLY ENDED UP WRITING A LETTER TO WASHINGTON DC BECAUSE I WAS UPSET AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I HAD PROSPECTIVE, BUT I NEVER COULD RECOVER ANY MONEY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO ME BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T ACCEPT THE POLICE REPORT.

AND I THINK THAT'S THE WRONG THING TO DO JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A SENIOR.

THERE COULD BE ANY EOC ISSUE ON THAT, THAT TREATING PEOPLE OVER A CERTAIN AGE IN A DIFFERENT MANNER.

AND THAT'S A, I GET TO SAY, BUT LIKE NOW, RIGHT NOW, UM, I LOCKSMITH TORE A LOCK, A KEY INSIDE THE DOOR SO THEY CAN'T PICK THAT LOCK.

I HAD A LITTLE DUMMY DOOR, IT'S LIKE 12 INCHES, BUT SOMETIMES THEY BRING A LITTLE 15, A 6-YEAR-OLD, 16-YEAR-OLD BOY THAT'S ABOUT THAT SITTING.

HE PROBABLY COULD GET THROUGH THAT DOOR.

BUT NOW THERE'S A STEEL BAR ON THAT.

SO THE DOGGY DOOR AND THEN INSTALLED A, UM, A BAR, A METAL BAR ON MY BACK DOOR.

AND I HAVE A METAL STEEL POLE UNDER THE DOOR.

AND I ALREADY KNOW THEY CAN'T COME THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR ANYMORE BECAUSE THAT ONE CAN'T BE PICKED.

AND YOU SAY YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT STUFF ON AND YOU'RE SAFE.

THEY SCREWED UP MY SAFE.

I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO IT, BUT I CAN'T GET IN IT.

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE, UM, YOU KNOW, TOUCH BUTTON ONE.

CAN'T GET IN.

IT CAN'T, I CAN'T GET IN IT.

BUT I REALLY MISS MY PERSONAL STUFF.

I MISS MY BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES.

I MISS MY JEWELRY.

I, SOMEBODY VERY CLOSE TO ME BOUGHT ME THOSE EARRINGS JUST BEFORE THEY DIE.

I DON'T HAVE IT.

BE DOWN THE STREET SPYING ON ME, WAITING FOR ME TO LEAVE.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

BUT I DID ONE WHEN I SEEN THEM PARKED UP THERE, THEY'RE THE FIRST ONES I, SAME CAR THAT I SEEN ON CAMERA.

AND THEY'VE BEEN OUT THERE MAYBE SIX TIMES ON THE BASTARD TO EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO WAVE TO ME.

ONCE WHEN I CAME OUT AND HE WAS READY TO PULL IN AND HE REALIZED I WAS HOME, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE I WAS WORKING ON THE SECOND SHIFT.

UP UNTIL FEBRUARY, THEY WOULD BE OUT THERE.

I SOMETIME LEAVE WORK AT 1 30, 20 MINUTES PASSED.

THEY'D

[02:15:01]

IT'S REALLY FRIGHTENING.

I GUESS THE WHOLE LEVEL HERE IS CREEPING ME OUT.

AND THE NEIGHBORS, I THINK TWO WEEKS AGO, ONE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, THEY HAVE MAN RUNNING AROUND IN THEIR BACKYARD THAT'S REAL DARK, SO THEY COULDN'T REALLY SEE THE FACE.

THEN THEY CAME OUT AT THREE.

AND I HAVE TWO LITTLE DOGS.

MY DOGS NEVER GO OUT AT NIGHT.

PEOPLE CAN COME IN THE HOUSE.

THEY JUST HOPE SOMEBODY WILL GATHER, GIVE THEM A SNACK.

BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE KIND OF SCARED NOW.

THEY PUT UP A SIX FOOT FENCE, BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE REALLY WORRIED.

SO, ALRIGHT, IF NOTHING ELSE, MAYBE I VENTED, MAYBE I'LL FEEL A LITTLE BETTER ABOUT IT.

BUT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME AND I CAN'T GET OVER IT.

AND I TELL EVERYBODY, I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENS ON OUR STREET TO BE CAREFUL.

THANK YOU MS. CROCK FOR COMING.

NOW I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS REALLY WANTED TO HEAR THAT, BUT IT'S WHAT IT IS.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

AND SO THIS WOULD BASICALLY ALLOW US TO IMPLEMENT A FEE THAT WOULD, UH, REIMBURSE US FOR THE WORK THAT'S DONE ON THE INSPECTION RELATED

[02:25:01]

TO THE UTILITIES.

I'LL LET MR. DUNCAN CLARIFY.

YEAH, ACTUALLY IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE.

UH, SO THE, UH, A A FEW YEARS BACK, WE PASSED, UH, UM, ORDERS, I THINK 2018, UM, REGARDING INSTALLATION OF BACKUP HOME GENERATORS.

AND WE HAD, SO WHAT THE, UH, UM, MR. HASLIP DOES IS WHEN THEY, THEY HAVE TO APPLY FOR A PERMIT TO INSTALL A GENERATOR AND THEY HAVE TO BE INSTALLED ON A PAD AND HE INSPECTS THE ELECTRICAL AND HE INSPECT, HE INSPECTS THE GAS, UM, HE DOES PRESSURE TEST ON THE GAS AND, UM, THEN PUTS A, UH, A SEAL ON IT.

SO THEN THE GAS COMPANY WILL COME AND KNOW IT'S BEEN PRESSURE TESTED AND IT'S OKAY TO HOOK UP THE GAS SUPPLY.

SO, UM, THE STATE LEGISLATURE JUST, UH, EFFECTIVE, UM, SEPTEMBER 1ST OF THIS YEAR SAID THAT CITIES ARE REGULATING PEOPLE TOO MUCH AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT, UH, BACKUP HOME GENERATORS AND BACKUP SOLAR, UH, PANELS, UH, WITHOUT ANY PERMIT OR ANY REGULATION.

SO BECAUSE OF THAT, WE CAN NO LONGER DO GAS INSPECTIONS OR ELECTRIC INSPECTIONS OR REQUIRE OTHER REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY FOR HOME GENERATORS THAT, UH, UH, PRODUCE, UH, 50 KILOWATTS OR LESS, WHICH IS 99, WHICH ALL THE HOME GENERATORS ARE BELOW THAT LEVEL.

SO, UM, WE RUN INTO A LITTLE BIT OF PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PEOPLE STILL NEED GAS INSPECTIONS, PRESSURE TESTS FOR THE, FOR THE GAS COMPANY TO TURN ON THE GAS.

'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT GONNA TURN ON THE GAS UNLESS THERE'S BEEN A PRESSURE TEST DONE.

SO, UM, WHAT WE'VE DONE IS, AND, AND THERE'S STILL BA BACKUP GENERATORS, UH, THEY COULD BE MORE THAN 50 KILOWATTS.

THAT'S STILL ALL THE SAME RULES APPLY.

SO WE'VE KEPT THOSE RULES.

IF YOU'RE 50 KILOWATTS AND ABOVE, YOU'RE 50 KILOWATTS AND BELOW, UH, UNDER STATE LAW, WE STILL CAN DO THE ELECTRICAL, UM, INSPECTION FOR THE CONNECTION TO THE HOUSE, JUST NOT ANYTHING RELATED TO THE GENERATOR.

AND THEN, UH, SO WE HAVE A, UH, WE'VE DEVELOPED A PRINTED UP POLICY WE GIVE TO PEOPLE, THE CONTRACTORS OR WHATEVER THAT SAID, YOU CAN GO HIRE YOUR OWN COMPANY, YOUR OWN CONTRACTOR TO DO THE PRESSURE TEST FOR THE GAS COMPANY AND WORK IT OUT WITH THE GAS COMPANY OR THE CITY WILL DO THAT PRESSURE TEST.

BUT YOU HAVE TO SIGN A PAPER SAYING, WE'RE NOT CHARGING YOU ANYTHING EXTRA FOR IT.

AND YOU VOLUNTEER TO LET US DO THE PRESSURE TEST BECAUSE THAT'S IT'S BENEFIT FOR EVERYBODY.

SO WE'RE NOT GONNA CHARGE EXTRA.

AND WE HAVE THEM SIGN THAT WAIVER.

SO THEY CAN'T SAY THAT WE WERE FORCING THEM TO DO THAT, BUT THERE'S STILL GONNA BE A NEED FOR THOSE PRESSURE TESTS.

AND SO, UM, THAT SOUNDS KIND OF COMPLICATED.

BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS STATE LAW SAID WE CAN'T REGULATE IT.

AND SO, UH, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR ORDINANCES.

SO IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE STATE SAYS THE CITY ARE REGULATING TOO MUCH.

PEOPLE SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO HOOK UP GENERATORS AND GAS LINES WITH NO INSPECTIONS.

SO CAN A RESIDENT REFUSE THE PRESSURE TESTS? AND THEY CAN, BUT THE GAS COMPANY WON'T HOOK UP THE GAS.

SO THE ORDINANCE IS JUST SAYING, SO WE CAN'T REQUIRE A PRESSURE TEST.

WE CAN'T REQUIRE SOME OF THESE INSPECTIONS.

BUT THEY'RE GONNA, WE CAN'T REQUIRE THE STANDARDS.

AND UH, UM, SO IF THEY WANT, BUT WE, WE CAN STILL DO THE, WHERE THE ELECTRICAL HOOKUPS TO THE HOUSE.

WE CAN STILL DO THAT PART.

BUT IS IS THAT ONLY IF, IF THE HOUSE ALREADY HAS GAS, THEY STILL HAVE TO DO THAT PRESSURE TEST? YES.

'CAUSE THERE'S GONNA BE NEW PIPING.

RIGHT? NEW PIPING TO THE GENERATOR.

THEY, THEY TIE IT TO AN EXISTING LINE THAT HAS TO BE RE PRESSURE TEST.

SO, SO THEY'RE GONNA NEED A PRESSURE TEST AND THEY'RE GONNA EITHER NOW SINCE THE STATE SAYS WE CAN'T REQUIRE THEM TO DO IT, THEY'LL HAVE TO GO PAY SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO IT.

BUT WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE BECAUSE THE, THE, THE PERMIT FOR THE, THE ELECTORAL INSPECTION, IT WILL JUST BE THE SAME.

SO IT'LL BE A WASH AND WE'LL JUST DO THE PRESSURE TEST, BUT WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE 'EM SIGN A FORM SAYING WE'RE NOT MAKING THEM DO THE PRESSURE TEST.

IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO, SO THE ORDINANCE GOES FROM YOU HAVE TO, TO WE'RE AVAILABLE IF YOU'D LIKE US TO .

THEY EITHER, THEY EITHER HAVE TO TURN THE GAS OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THEMSELVES OR HAVE IT TESTED.

WELL, I GUESS IF THE STATE SAYS WE HAVE TO, WE BETTER ROLL OVER AND SHAKE YOUR BACK LEG.

YEAH, , BLESS YOU.

WITHOUT A BELLY.

WITHOUT A BELLY SCRATCH.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 2025 DASH 2023 BY COUNCILMAN AGUILAR.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN LOPEZ.

DISCUSSION, HEARING, DONE ALL ENTERTAIN A VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR.

A AYE.

ORDINANCE OF CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLU, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 22 BUILDINGS AND BUILDING REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF CLU, CODE OF ORDINANCES, SPECIFICALLY AMENDING ARTICLE FIVE PLUMBING, ADDING SECTIONS 22 DASH 1 99 AND 22 DASH 200, ENABLING CERTAIN FEES AND INSPECTIONS CONTAINING A SEVERANCE CLAUSE, A SAVINGS CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND A REPE CLAUSE AND PROVIDED FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

NEXT ITEM WOULD BE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 2025 DASH OH 24, WHICH IS AN

[02:30:01]

OKAY, SO THIS ORDINANCE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF ORDINANCES ARE, UM, CJ WENT THROUGH AND, UM, UH, THERE ARE SOME NEW FEES THAT WE'RE ADDING FOR CERTAIN, UM, INSPECTIONS AND SOME FEES THAT WE ALREADY CHARGED, BUT WE DIDN'T EVER HAVE AN ENABLING ORDINANCE THAT ENABLED US TO CHARGE THOSE FEES.

SO IN THIS, THIS, UH, ORDINANCE IS, UH, JUST RELATED TO PLUMBING, THE PLUMBING SECTION.

AND IN THAT WE'RE GOING TO, UM, HAVE A INSPECTION WITH, WITH REGARD TO, UH, GAS AND RESIDENTIAL BACKUP, UM, UM, GENERATORS THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY.

UH, THE ONES THAT ARE NOT, THEY'RE ABOVE THE 50 KILOWATT.

AND THEN ALSO THIS WILL, UM, COVER FEES AND INSPECTIONS FOR GREASE TRAPS.

AND I DON'T, I I I BELIEVE THAT THAT, UM, I GUESS WE DIDN'T HAVE A SPECIFIC FEE INSPECTION FEE FOR THAT.

AND THAT'S ADDING THAT TO THIS, CORRECT? IT USED TO BE PART OF THE STANDARD PLUMBING INSPECTION.

UH, BUT WE'VE SEPARATED IT OUT NOW BASED ON TANK SIZE.

SO WE'RE CHANGING THE FEES ON THE GREASE TRACKS.

HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2025 DASH 2024.

I'LL MAKE MOTION.

MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL PER MAD.

YOU'LL HAVE A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND.

COUNCIL PER BOND MAKES THE SECOND DISCUSSION.

IT, IT DOESN'T SAY WHAT THOSE FEES ARE.

YEAH, I IF YOU IN THE FINAL, UH, ITEM OF THE AGENDA, THE DEVICE BE THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE.

EVERY, IT SAYS IN THE ORDINANCE THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE SET BY COUNSEL AND, AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME AND PUT PUBLISHED IN THE MASTERPIECE SCHEDULE.

SEE IT FURTHER DISCUSSION.

, ANY VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

NEXT ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERATION AND ACTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2025 DASH OH 25 AND IT WOULD BE AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY OF CLUTE AMENDING CHAPTER 50, FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION OF THE CITY OF CLUTE CODE OF ORDINANCES, SPECIFICALLY AMENDING ARTICLE THREE, FIRE PREVENTION CODE ADDING SECTION 50.73, ENABLING CERTAIN FEES AND INSPECTIONS CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND A REPEAT CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

OKAY, SO THIS IS THE, UH, FIRE PREVENTION CODE AND UH, UH, THIS IS A FIRE PREVENTION CODE.

AND SO, UH, BASED ON THIS, THIS IS, UM, IS THE COMPREHENSIVE LIST.

SO SOME OF THEM WE ALREADY HAD OBVIOUSLY FOR FIRE ALARMS, SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, WE'RE ADDING EVENT HOODS, WE'RE ADDING PAINT BOOTHS, FIRE RISERS, UH, STORAGE TANKS, AND SOME OTHER ITEMS. SO THESE ARE ENABLING, UH, TO CHARGE THOSE FEES.

CONSIDER A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2025 WITH A ONE CORRECTION.

SO MOVED IT WOULD BE THE CITY OF CL, NOT CITY OF FREEPORT.

SAME THING ON THE PREVIOUS ONE.

THE PREVIOUS ONE, YEAH.

IT WASN'T ON ALL OF THEM.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? YOU GOT A MOTION? OH, HE NEEDS, HE NEEDS A SECOND.

SORRY.

WHO MADE THE MOTION? I DID MS. FINE.

OH, OKAY.

I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.

MADS.

DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FLUTE, TEXAS AMENDING CHAPTER 58, HEALTH OF SANITATION OF THE CITY OF FLUTE CODE OF ORDINANCES, SPECIFICALLY AMENDING ARTICLE TWO, FOOD SERVICE SANITATION AMENDING SECTION 58 39, ENABLING CERTAIN FEES AND INSPECTIONS CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND A CLAUSE, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

NEXT ITEM WOULD BE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 2025 DASH OH 26.

WE HAD AN ORDINANCE OF THE

[02:35:01]

OKAY, SO THIS IS RE UH, RELATED TO UM, UH, HEALTH PERMITT INSPECTIONS WERE RE REGARDING FOOD SERVICE.

UM, UH, CJ WENT THROUGH AND, UH, WE HAVE IT DIVIDED UP JUST IN LARGE, MEDIUM, SMALL SIZE ESTABLISHMENTS BASED ON SQUARE FOOTAGE AND ALSO INCLUDES A, UH, FEE FOR REINSPECTION FEES.

I I DON'T THINK WE HAD A REINSPECTION FEE PREVIOUSLY.

SO THAT WOULD BE A NEW FEE.

SO, UH, THOSE WILL BE REFLECTED IN THE MASTER FEE LIST.

I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 25 DASH 2026.

UH, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.

HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN AGUILAR.

SECOND.

BY COUNCILPERSON VAUGHN DISCUSSION, THE ACTUAL FEES WILL BE ON THE VERY LAST ONE.

THESE ARE ALL BASICALLY ENABLING CLAUSES THAT ALLOW US TO CHARGE THE FEES THAT ARE, THEY'RE ALL GONNA REFERENCE THAT THE, AND WE ARE MAKING CORRECTIONS ON ALL THESE? YES.

IT'S ACTUALLY, IT IS ACTUALLY A RESOLUTION THAT'S NOT AN ORDINANCE.

BUT THE LAST, THE LAST ITEM L WILL HAVE THE FEE.

WE'LL APPROVE THOSE FEES LATER.

OR ARE WE ITEM L HERE? A LITTLE BIT IN JUST A FEW MINUTES? JUST THE LAST THING.

I COULD TELL YOU WERE LOOKING FOR SOME NUMBERS.

, YOU ARE DETECTIVE AND I COULD TELL MM-HMM .

HERE YOU HEAR? ALRIGHT.

HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL YOU GOT A MOTION? YOU NEED? YOU NEED A SECOND? I THOUGHT WE GOT A SECOND.

WE NEED A SECOND.

UH, ON UH, 25 DASH SIX.

YES, IT WAS ERIC AND THEN FRANCIS.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I GUESS NOT HEARING NONE.

NEXT ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 25 DASH OH 27 AND IT WOULD BE AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FLUTE, TEXAS AMENDING CHAPTER 82, PARTS AND RECREATION OF THE CITY OF FLUTE CODE OF ORDINANCES, SPECIFICALLY AMENDING ARTICLE ONE IN GENERAL, ADDING SECTION 82.5, ENABLING CERTAIN FEES CONTAINING A SAV SAVINGS CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND A REPEATER CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING FROM TALKING TO WILL THAT THE FEES THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN THE, UH, MASTER FEE LIST ARE, THEY'RE NOT CHANGES.

HOWEVER, THERE WAS NEVER AN ORDINANCE ENABLING SOME OF THOSE FEES.

SO, UM, THAT'S WHAT THE, THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE IS TO ENABLE THOSE FEES.

WE'RE AN ENABLER.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 25 DASH 2027? I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL PER MADS.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND.

COUNCILMAN LOPEZ MAKES A SECOND DISCUSSION.

HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN THE VOTE.

USES USE OF CITY PROPERTY AND PURCHASE OF CERTAIN GOODS PROVIDED BY THE CITY, AUTHORIZING THE CITY CLERK TO MAINTAIN THE MASTER RATE SCHEDULE AND RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS PROVIDED FOR SEVERABILITY AND MAINTAINING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND PROVIDING FOR A FINDING OF PROPER MEETING.

UH, THERE ARE CERTAIN WE COLOR CODED THEM.

SO YELLOW INDICATED CHANGES, GREEN INDICATED NEW FEES.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ADOPTING THROUGH THESE OTHER ENABLING ORDINANCES.

IF YOU'LL SCROLL DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE, ROSIE.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, THERE YOU SEE THE REVISED ENERGY, UH, SOLAR PANEL AND RESIDENTIAL ENERGY BACKUP PLAN, UH, GAS TESTING THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED.

THOSE ARE THE FEES.

UH, IF YOU WANNA GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE.

KEEP GOING.

FIRE SUPPRESSION, UH, THE ADDITIONAL STORAGE TANKS, HEALTH PERMIT, REINSPECTION, AND THEN THE, UH, GREASE TRAP FEES.
