Jul 22, 2021 P&amp;Z Commission

THE ROADWAY IS REMOVED FROM THE PLAN AS A COLLECTOR.

SORRY.

I SAW THE PRELIMINARY PLOT UP.

THERE WAS LIKE, THAT'S NOT, NOT MINE.

UM, SO FOR, FOR THIS CASE, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS.

THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN WAS ADOPTED, UM, IN MAY OF, UH, 2021.

UM, THIS PLAN UPGRADED SEVERAL, SEVERAL OF THE STREETS AND ADDED SOME STREETS TO THE NETWORK.

UM, ONE OF THE, THE NEW STREETS IS A EXTENSION OF A COLLECTOR ROADWAY THAT WOULD CONNECT COLLABORATIVE WAY TO HERITAGE GROVE.

THAT'S IT.

UM, YOU CAN SEE IT HIGHLIGHTED ON THE SCREEN.

UM, THE, THE, THE CITY'S RECEIVED, UM, A REQUEST FROM A PRIMARY EMPLOYER THAT WILL BE LOCATED TO THE PROPERTY, TO THE EAST OF THAT COLLECTOR ROADWAY.

AND, UM, THEY'RE, THEY'RE REQUESTING THAT

[00:05:01]

UM, THEIR INTENT IS NOT TO CONNECT TO THAT ROADWAY.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE, UH, CAMERON GOODMAN HERE FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT THAT COULD SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THAT.

AND, UM, I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DO WE HAVE AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION ON THIS? HI, I'M CAMERON GOODMAN WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

UH, ROBIN KIND OF REFERENCED THIS, BUT WE ARE IN TALKS WITH THE PRIMARY EMPLOYER ON THE PROPERTY, KIND OF THE THOUGHT PROCESS FOR THE ORIGINAL TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENED WAS THAT IT COULD MAKE SENSE TO HAVE INDUSTRIAL TRAFFIC GOING UP THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY ON THE SIDE OF IT.

UM, AS THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN WAS BEING ADOPTED, UH, WE BEGAN SOME DISCUSSIONS WITH THIS EMPLOYER, UH, AND IT KIND OF EVOLVED TO THE FACT THAT THAT WOULD MAKE THE PROJECT PROPERTY VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP, UH, IN THE MANNER THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

UM, THE ROOM WAS ALSO KIND OF INTENDED FOR INDUSTRIAL TRAFFIC.

WHEREAS THE PROPOSED PLAN WOULD HAVE THAT TRAFFIC REALLY GOING THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT BEING SELF-CONTAINED WHERE THERE WOULDN'T BE 18 WHEELERS AND LARGE TRUCKS GOING THROUGH, UH, UP TO KIND OF THE SCHOOL UP IN THE AREA.

IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE TO HAVE THAT NOW.

SO, UH, WE'RE RECOMMENDING TO MAKE THIS AN OPTION, UH, FOR THE CHANGE.

I THINK THERE WAS ONE MORE THING WE SHOULD ADD.

UM, IF THAT EMPLOYER GOES AWAY, WE ARE GOING TO ADD LINK, RIGHT? SO, UH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S EVOLVING.

IF IT DOESN'T COME TO FRUITION, THEN WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY, OKAY, WE'RE GOING HERE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN.

SO IT'S SOMETHING IF IT DOESN'T MATERIALIZE, UH, THERE'S NO HARM.

UM, AT THIS POINT WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I DO NOT HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

DOES ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE? NOW WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION STARTED WITH MR. AND MRS. GRIFFIN, UH, PREEMPTED MY QUESTION, WHICH WAS WHAT HAPPENS IF IT DOESN'T DEVELOP.

SO I'M GOOD.

AND WE ARE INCLUDING A TIMEFRAME IN THE ORDINANCE, SO IT WON'T BE FOREVER.

IT'S PROBABLY JUST GOING TO BE SIX TO NINE MONTHS OR SOMETHING.

PERFECT.

COMMISSIONER CARPENTER.

ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IS HOW SOON IS THAT DEVELOPMENT GOING TO HAPPEN? DO WE HAVE A TIMELINE ON THAT OR IS THAT SPEAKING OF SOMETHING? SORRY.

I THINK THIS IS A CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THING FOR THE PROJECT TO HAPPEN.

SO IF THIS CHANGE IS MADE, I THINK THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT THIS PROJECT CAN HAPPEN, BUT THERE'S STILL SOME NEGOTIATIONS TAKING PLACE.

THEN THERE WILL BE LANGUAGE IN THAT.

IF SOMETHING, WE COULD GO BACK ON IT, THAT'S IT THEN.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER HAMPTON, IS THERE A SPEED LIMIT SAID OR PROPOSED FOR THIS? SO THE, THE SPEED LIMIT HAS NOT BEEN SET ON THE ROADWAY YET.

IT WILL GO CONNECT TO THAT CURVE.

IT DOES NOT.

UM, IT WOULD RUN ALONG THE SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

THE CURVE IS THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

UM, WHAT, WHAT PROPERTY EXACTLY IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THIS POSSIBLE? WELL, EMPLOYER, IS IT THE ONE BETWEEN THE CAPITAL METRO OWNED LOT SPACE AND THE BIG SINGLE FAMILY LAW.

SO THERE, THERE ARE TWO LOTS, IF YOU, IF YOU SEE THE, THE RED LINE IT'S ON THE EAST SIDE.

SO THE CAPITAL METRO HAS A, THE PART OF ADJACENT TO THE RAILROAD IT'S THAT PIECE IN BETWEEN THE OTHER ZONE IN CASE WE HAVE ON THE AGENDA AND THE CAPITAL METRO SITE.

SO, I MEAN, I THINK EVERYBODY ON THIS COMMISSION IS GONNA AGREE THAT, UM, HERITAGE GROVE IS SOMETHING THAT WE HEAR ABOUT PRETTY OFTEN.

AND SO PROVIDING, I MEAN, THIS SEEMED LIKE A LOGICAL ADDITION WHEN IT WAS PUT ON THE NEW TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO, UM, IF THIS IS REMOVED FOR AN EMPLOYER, OUR, WHAT PRESUMPTION IS THAT WE'LL NEVER GET A SECONDARY CONNECTION TO HERITAGE GROVE AND ALL OF THE TRAFFIC WOULD NEED TO CONTINUE COMING DOWN HOUSEY AND THEN TURN ONTO HERITAGE GROVE AND THE EXACT SAME PATTERN THAN IT HAS BEEN.

IS THAT ABOUT RIGHT? SO IF YOU LOOK TO THE SOUTH OF HERITAGE GROVE, THERE'S A NEW NETWORK, UM, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE COLLECTOR BY THE GOLD DEPOSITORY AND IN THAT PURPLE LINE, UM, PART OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDES US WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER TO, UM, UPDATE THAT AND CREATE THAT ROAD NETWORK TO HAVE ANOTHER WAY OUT TO 180 3, THAT DOESN'T, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING UPSTREAM OF THAT IN DEERBROOK

[00:10:01]

OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

RIGHT.

BECAUSE EVERYBODY FROM THERE COMING FROM THE NORTHWEST IS STILL NOW.

I MEAN, CLEARLY THIS IS JUST AN INTENDED ROAD AS IT STANDS.

NOW, IT'S NOT ONE THAT'S BUILT, BUT I MEAN, THE PRESUMPTION WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT AS DEVELOPMENT ALONG THAT HAPPENED, THAT ROAD NETWORK WOULD HAVE GOTTEN BUILT IN.

SO IF WE REMOVE THAT AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, THAT IS GOING TO ROUTE EVERY BIT OF TRAFFIC NORTHWEST IN THIS GENERAL AREA DOWN HOUSING TO GET ONTO HERITAGE GROVE.

RIGHT.

I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT PROPOSING AN ALTERNATIVE ACCESS.

CORRECT.

NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM NUMBER 10, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ACTION REGARDING ZONING CASE 21 T O D Z 20 TO AMEND THE CURRENT ZONING OF GC THREE C GENERAL COMMERCIAL TWO T FIVE URBAN CENTER ZONE TRANSECT ZONE ON THREE PARCELS LAND, APPROXIMATELY 0.6 TO THREE ACRES IN SIZE AND MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 2 0 3, 2 8 AND TWO 10 BRUSHY STREET LAND OR WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS STAFF PRESENTATION.

AND FROM DEERBROOK, YOU COULD ALSO GO OUT, UH, BAGHDAD.

MY ONLY CONCERNS WERE THE SAME AS COMMISSIONER HEINZ BROUGHT UP IS, UH, ACCESS FROM 180 3 TO HERITAGE GROVE.

BUT I THINK IT DOES MAKE SENSE FOR THE DEVELOPER IF THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE, THOSE TWO DEVELOPMENTS THERE, I THINK IT DOES MAKE SENSE.

SO THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM, MOTION TO APPROVE.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER COSGROW SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CARPENTER, ALL IN FAVOR, ALL OPPOSED PASSES FOUR TO ONE WITH COMMISSIONER HINES AGAINST I'LL JUST STAY FOR CLARITY THAT MY CONCERN IS THAT WE'RE REMOVING THIS OFF OF THE, OFF OF THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

MY PLAN IS THAT WE'RE NOT COMING UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE ACCESS THAT WOULD PROVIDE SIMILAR FUNCTIONALITY TO THIS

[10. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider action regarding Zoning Case 21-TOD-Z-020 to amend the current zoning of GC-3-C (General Commercial) to T5 (Urban Center Zone) Transect Zone on three parcels of land approximately 0.623 acres ± in size, more particularly described by Williamson Central Appraisal District Parcels R036075, R036076, and R036077; and more commonly known as 203, 208, and 210 Brushy Street, Leander, Williamson County, Texas.

THIS REQUEST IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE ZONING PROCESS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO CHANGE THE ZONING OF THREE PROPERTIES FROM GC DASH THREE C TO THE T FIVE URBAN CENTER TRANSIT ZONE IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTERTAINMENT CONCEPTS THAT WILL FEATURE RESTAURANT AND BAR COMPONENTS.

THESE PARTIALS ARE LOCATED SOUTH OF SMOOTH VILLAGE AND, UH, SOME LAW OFFICES GIVE ME A LITTLE, UH, THEY ARE NORTH OF THE PAT BRYSON BUILDING AND BELLA'S BEAUTY SALON.

THE CHEVRON MINI MART IS LOCATED TO THE EAST AND A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IS LOCATED TO THE WEST OF THESE PROPERTIES.

A FEW TREES EXIST ON THE LOTS, UH, TWO, A THREE AND TWO 10 NORTH BRUSHY STREET, UH, HAVE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.

2 0 8 ALSO HAS A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE.

THESE PROPERTIES ARE ALL PART OF THE ORIGINAL INCORPORATION OF THE CITY IN 1978.

UH, NO DEVELOPMENT MEETING WAS HELD FOR THIS PROJECT, UH, BUT NOTICES HAVE BEEN MAILED OUT OUT ON, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET.

THE AGENT HAS, UH, ALSO REACHED OUT TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, ZONED AS SINGLE FAMILY.

AND, UH, PROPERTY'S USED AS SINGLE FAMILY USES WITHIN 500 FEET.

UH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH REPORT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET.

UH, THESE PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED WITHIN OLD TOWN AND ARE IDENTIFIED AS OLD TOWN MIXED USE BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROPERTIES WITHIN OLD TOWN, HAVE THE OPTION TO DEVELOP UNDER A CONVENTIONAL ZONING OR SMART CODE.

THE APPLICANT HAS SELECTED THE SMART CODE.

THE T FIVE TRANSIT ZONE WILL PROVIDE FOR A VARIETY OF LAND USES AT A HIGHER INTENSITY.

AND ALCOHOL SELLS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS FOR INFILL DEVELOPMENT TO COMPLIMENT THE EXISTING HISTORIC FABRIC OF OLD TOWN.

THE PLAN ENCOURAGES A MIX OF USES INCLUDING OFFICE RETAIL IN RESTAURANTS, OLD TOWN SHOULD BE EXTREMELY WALKABLE PROVIDING FOR A SAFE AND CONVENIENT PEDESTRIAN ACCESS THROUGHOUT THE AREA.

THIS PROPOSED, UH, TRANSECT ZONE WILL CONTINUE THE VISION OF OLD TOWN BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL WALKABLE USES.

THIS IS ALL I HAVE FOR THIS CASE, AND I WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THANKS.

THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A, UH, HAS A PRESENTATION, SOMEBODY.

SO THANK YOU.

WE'LL MOVE TO THE APPLICANT PRESENTATION.

BARS, ENTERTAINMENT ASPECTS OF OUR INDUSTRY.

MY NAME IS MATT DELLA, WHO SAY I'M A LONGTIME RESIDENT OF THE AREA I'VE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 21 YEARS.

UM, I HAVE A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FIRM HERE IN TOWN, AND, UM, WE FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON RESTAURANTS,

[00:15:01]

HISTORICALLY, I'VE DONE A BUNCH OF STUFF IN DOWNTOWN AUSTIN, BUT ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON THE HOME COMMUNITY.

SO IT'S BEEN, UH, IT'S A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CREATE AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT HERE LOCALLY, SINCE WE'VE HAD SO MUCH GROWTH FROM HERE.

UM, THE, UH, PERSONALLY I HAVE A DESIRE TO HELP BRING THE TYPE OF RESTAURANTS, BARS, AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUES TO LEANDER THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN DEMANDING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

MY DESIRE IS TO HELP MAKE OLD TABLETS AND, OR A TRUE DESTINATION DISTRICT OFFERING OUR COMMUNITY TYPES OF RESTAURANTS, SHOPS, ENTERTAINMENT, BEEN USED IN SPECIAL EVENTS.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT ADDITION TO OUR COMMUNITY REZONING 2 0 3, 2 8 AND TWO 10 BRUSHES STREET TO T FIVE WOULD ALLOW FOR THE HIGHEST AND BEST USES TO LOCATE IN THE OLD TOWN AREA OF LEANDRA.

I HAVE PERSONALLY MET WITH MEMBERS OF THE CITY STAFF, INCLUDING THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, UH, PLANNING DEPARTMENT, TO DETERMINE HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TOWARDS ACCOMPLISHING THE CITY'S GOALS TO SET OUT THE CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH INCLUDES SEVERAL GOALS FOR OLD TOWN.

THE, UH, RECENTLY APPROVED T FIVE T FIVE ZONING FOR THE DAVIS HOUSE IS A PROJECT THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON.

AND, UH, WE'RE WORKING ON A RESTAURANT AND BEER GARDEN CONCEPT THERE.

THE, UH, WE SHOULD HOPEFULLY HAVE THAT WRAPPED UP PRETTY SOON, BUT, UM, WE HAVE AN EXPERIENCED OPERATOR AT SOUTH AUSTIN MUST BE DOING THAT DEAL.

UM, IT'S GONNA CREATE SOMEWHAT OF A DESTINATION FOR AN OLD TOWN.

UM, WE HAVE A VISION FOR THE OLD TOWN AREA TO BE A HUB FOR FESTIVALS, SUCH AS THE WHOLE TOWN STREET FESTIVAL, AND ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE LOCAL GROUPS THAT HOST NEW EVENTS THAT WILL HELP DRAW THE VISITORS AREA BENEFIT THE EXISTING BUSINESSES IN THE AREA.

UM, WE UNDERSTAND AN OLD TOWN HAS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WE'RE COMMITTED TO MAKING THESE PROJECTS HIGH QUALITY ADDITIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.

THAT'S IT.

SO THESE ARE I'M ANTHONY GONZALEZ, BORN AND RAISED HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS.

UM, MOVED TO LEANDER IN 2015 AFTER GRADUATING FROM THE UNITED STATES MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY.

UM, OUR GROUPS, UH, THESE ARE A COUPLE OF THESE ARE THE CURRENT PROPERTIES HERE, EITHER SOME PROJECTS, UH, THAT THEY'VE WORKED ON AND WE'LL BE USING AS KIND OF GUIDES FOR THE DEVELOPMENTS THERE.

UM, THE NON JUST, I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT'S A FILL AREA CONCEPT THAT, UH, WE'VE GONE UP AND EMPHASIZING THE OLD TOWN TO KIND OF MAKE IT A DESTINATION, UH, TO SARAH, OUR COMMANDER DIDN'T TO BRING PEOPLE TO THE AREA.

AND THAT'S IT.

THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO CONVERT, UH, LIKE AS IN THE, OF THE DAVIS HOUSE, UH, THAT WAS EXAMPLE OF THE GUYS THAT WILL BE AT LEAST IN THE DAVIS HOUSE TO COME USE THE, UH, THE STRUCTURE AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE ARCHITECTURAL FIX OF THAT.

AT THIS POINT, WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I DO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS.

DOES ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE? UM, YOU CAN COME UP AND, UH, SPEAK YOU'LL YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

I JUST NEED YOU TO FILL OUT A CARD AFTER YOU'RE DONE SPEAKING AFTER YOU SPEAK.

HMM.

WE HAVE TO BREATH.

SO I HAVE MS. DAVIS'S HOUSE, THAT HOUSE NEXT TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE.

SO I'M ACROSS BAGHDAD.

CHANGE IS INEVITABLE.

WE ALL KNOW THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH CHANGE.

I DID THE I, AND I'M CURIOUS TO WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PARK BECAUSE WE ARE LIMITED ON PARKING HERE.

SO THAT IS MY CONCERN IS THE PARKING.

AND BECAUSE IF YOU BUILD THREE DIFFERENT BARS AND RESTAURANTS OR WHATEVER ENTERTAINMENT, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT PARKING CONCERNS ME, WHERE, WHERE IS EVERYBODY GOING TO PARK? AND IS THERE A SOLUTION FOR THAT? AND I DON'T KNOW, GROWING UP HERE, I NEVER ENVISIONED CITY HALL TO ME, SURROUNDED BY BARS AND RESTAURANTS, BUT THINGS CHANGE.

SO ANYWAY, I JUST WON'T TELL TO CONSIDER PARKING.

JUST LET'S CONSIDER PARKING.

CAUSE I DO LIVE OVER THERE AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DO GET A LITTLE ROWDY AFTER THEY'VE HAD DRINKING AND PEOPLE WALK UP AND DOWN AND SO FORTH AND SO ON, AND I STILL WANT TO FEEL SECURED CAUSE I I'M SINGLE, YOU KNOW, SO THANK YOU FOR THE TIME.

DO YOU, DOES ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE? IF NOT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION COMMISSIONER HINES.

I'M SURE WILL SURPRISE NO ONE.

I THINK THIS IS A NO BRAINER.

I MEAN THE ENTIRETY OF OLD TOWN SHOULD BE MOVED INTO .

UM, IT MAKES FOR MUCH MORE OF THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT MAKES SENSE IN AN OLD, URBAN CORE LIKE THIS AND WILL ALLOW THE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT THAT, UH, REALLY IS GOING TO FIT THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO, UM, WITHOUT QUESTION, THIS SHOULD BE APPROVED.

MR. HAMPTON, DID THE APPLICANT, WHEN YOU GUYS WERE SHOWING THE RENDERINGS OF SOME OTHER PROJECTS, IS THE IDEA TO KEEP THE STRUCTURES OF THESE BUILDINGS ARE KNOCKING DOWN.

SO WE ARE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH EACH PROPERTY AND TRYING TO SEE WHAT CAN BE UTILIZED AND WHAT CAN'T.

SOME OF THE STRUCTURES

[00:20:01]

IF WE CAN USE IT, IF WE CAN'T, WE'LL TRY TO DO SOMETHING AS IN THAT LAST RENDERING RIGHT THERE.

UM, BUT WE, IT'S A LITTLE, IT'S A MIXTURE TO, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, UTILIZE WHAT WE CAN AND THEN DEVELOP WHAT WE CAN NOW, COMMISSIONER CARPENTER AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY DIFFERENT BUSINESSES YOU'RE GOING TO DEVELOP ON THOSE THREE SITES? WELL, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A THREE, SO WE HAVE THREE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE, WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT CONCEPTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING OVER THERE, UH, WHERE WE'RE A COUPLE OF OTHER PROPERTIES CURRENTLY, BUT I'M NOT REALLY READY TO DISCUSS THOSE JUST YET.

SO THAT'S FINE.

MR. COSGROVE, YOU HAVE LOI IS ALREADY, YOU HAVE LYS IN PLACE.

WE'RE UNDER IT.

SO THE PROPERTIES ARE UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE OPERATORS, WITH THE OWNER USERS.

I, UH, I DO UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN ABOUT PARKING, BUT I'M, I AGREE MORE WITH COMMISSIONER HINES THAT THIS IS VERY A HOME RUN AND WE PROBABLY SHOULD THINK ABOUT ZONING INSIDE TIRE, OLD TOWN, T FIVE.

I THINK IT'S BEEN ALL SAID, UM, I NOTICED IN THE PACKET, IT SAID THAT THERE WERE SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS.

I DID NOT SEE THOSE IN THE PACKET.

GOOD.

THE ONLY SPECIAL CONSIDERATION WAS THAT IT WAS A LOCKABLE AREA AND I CHANGED THAT TO MORE YEAH.

GENERAL.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE FOR THE RECORD AS WELL.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

DO YOU THINK YOU, AND YOU KNOW, PARKING'S ALWAYS MY PASSION SO THAT I THINK THAT'S MORE AN ONUS OF THE CITY VERSUS THE INDIVIDUALS ZONING OF THE PROPERTY THOUGH.

AND WITH THAT, THIS IS EMOTION.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

SECOND MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER HEIN.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER COSGRAVE ALL IN FAVOR PASSES, UNANIMOUSLY, MOVE ON TO

[00:25:01]

WITHIN THE COTTON TELL DRIVE RIGHT AWAY.

THERE'S AN EIGHT INCH WATER LINE AS WELL AS AN EIGHT-INCH SEWER AND A MANHOLE.

UH, THE FOLLOWING CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE PROJECT.

UH, IT WAS REVERSED.

IT WAS CHANGED FROM A SINGLE FAMILY TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT, UH, AND IT WAS CHANGED FROM SINGLE FAMILY TOWNHOUSE AND TWO FAMILY.

THEY HAD MULTIPLE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, UH, SOME WITH THE, UH, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS, SOME WITH, UH, HOA, UM, COMMITTEES.

AND THAT'LL BE, UH, MORE DEFINED IN, UH, THE ATTACHMENT.

IT WAS A ATTACHMENT NAME FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNICATION REPORT, A COUPLE OF THE DETAILS, UM, AND MADE, UH, BASED ON THE, UH, THE GUIDANCE THAT THEY GOT FROM THE RESIDENTS IN THE HOA.

THEY PREEMPTED THE SINGLE-STORY RESTRICTION ADJACENT TO IS THIS EXISTING RESIDENTIAL, UH, THAT WAS NOT BASED ON FEEDBACK, BUT CHANGED SHORTLY AFTER.

UH, THERE WAS A DOG PARK PROPOSED TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

ALSO NOT BASED ON FEEDBACK, UH, ACCEPTABLE TO URBANA TO MAKE DOG PARKS, UH, SEMI-PUBLIC BASED ON FEEDBACK.

THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE THE DOG PARK SEMI PUBLIC BASED ON FEEDBACK.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ATTACHMENT EIGHT.

THIS REQUEST DOES NOT, UH, THIS REQUEST DOES INCLUDE THREE FOOT SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE PROJECT.

UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE SIDEWALK WIDTHS ARE CHANGED TO A MINIMUM OF FOUR FOOT WIDE.

UH, THAT'S ALL I HAD FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO AT THIS POINT, I'LL, UH, TURN IT OVER TO THE DEVELOPER FOR A SHORT PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONER.

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR THE TIME HERE IN OUR CASE TONIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GOOD EVENING, ZACH.

HENMAN.

I AM WITH, UH, URBAN MOMENT.

WE ARE THE DEVELOPMENT GROUP BEHIND THE AT YARD HOME COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE PROPOSING ON HERO WAY.

UH, WE'RE A TEXAS BASED, UH, OR AUSTIN BASED TEXAS FOCUSED, UH, DEVELOPMENT COMPANY.

UM, IT IS A JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN OUR COMPANY URBAN MOMENT AND OUR CAPITAL PARTNER.

UH, SO WHAT IS A YARD HOME? IT IS QUITE LITERALLY THAT IT IS, UH, A YARD WITH A HOME ATTACHED TO IT.

UM, WE ARE A COTTAGE HOME DEVELOPER, UH, COTTAGE HOME COMMUNITY, UH, DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, UH, THAT FOCUSES ON BUILDING HIGH QUALITY, SINGLE FAMILY, DETACHED AND DUPLEX RESIDENTIAL HOMES.

UH, SO OUR CONCEPT REALLY FOCUSES OR AIMS TO FILL

[00:30:01]

A GAP IN THE RESIDENTIAL SECTOR.

UH, THAT'S BEEN COINED AS THE MISSING MIDDLE, AND SO REALLY PROVIDING THE FREEDOM, UH, AND THE, AND THE, UH, BENEFIT OF SINGLE FAMILY LIVING WITH MULTI-FAMILY LIVING AS WELL.

SO A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO THE MISSING MIDDLE, UH, REALLY THREE MARKET, UH, NEEDS THAT WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS.

ONE IS AGAIN, A DIVERSITY OF HOUSING STOCK.

SO, UH, IF A RESIDENT WANTS TO LIVE IN A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, BUT, UH, FOR WHATEVER REASON DOESN'T WANT TO GET INTO HOME OWNERSHIP, CAN'T AFFORD IT, BUT DOESN'T WANT TO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT THAN WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO LIVE.

SO THIS AIMS TO FILL THAT GAP BETWEEN APARTMENTS AND SINGLE-FAMILY HOME OWNERSHIP, UH, IT ALSO, UH, AIMS TO, UH, ADDRESS HOUSING AFFORDABILITY ISSUE PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY AND THEN, UH, UH, AS WELL AS CREATE A TRANSITIONAL PRODUCT OF HOUSING TYPES.

UH, SO PROVIDING, UH, AN ORDERLY TRANSITION OF USE BETWEEN HOUSING TYPES WITHIN A PARTICULAR AREA.

UH, SO THE IRVANA LIFESTYLE, AGAIN, UH, IT COULD BE SUMMED UP AS MULTI-FAMILY AMENITIES AND CONVENIENCE ALONG WITH A BACKYARD.

SO AMENITIES, UH, WOULD BE YOUR DATA AND YOUR CABLE PACKAGE PROVIDED BY THE PROPERTY, UH, POOL AND CLUBHOUSE, UH, DOG PARK, BARBECUE, UH, RECREATE PASSIVE RECREATION AREAS ONSITE AS WELL AS SMART HOME, UH, AMENITIES AND EVERY HOME WE APPOINT EVERY HOME WITH A RING DOORBELLS WITH, UH, WITH, UH, I'M SORRY, YOUR SMART, UH, YOUR SMART HOME HUB AND, UH, S UH, SYNCHRONIZATION TO AN APP ON YOUR, ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE.

UH, AND THEN OF COURSE, CONVENIENCE SIMILAR TO MULTI-FAMILY COMMUNITIES.

THAT'S YOUR MAINTENANCE, UH, YOUR STAFF TO MAINTENANCE YOUR VALET, TRASH AND FREEDOM FROM PROPERTY TAXES AND YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENT.

THAT WOULD BE TYPICAL IN THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME OWNERSHIP.

OUR URBANO RESIDENTS TEND TO BE FIRST RESPONDERS, UH, YOUR NURSES, UH, EVEN EMPTY NESTERS, UH, LOOKING TO DOWNSIZE FROM THEIR CURRENT LIVING SITUATION.

AND WE ALSO SEE, UH, YOUNG PROFESSIONALS THAT WANT TO LOCK AND LEAVE AND BE ABLE TO, TO FLY IN AND HAVE MAINTENANCE TAKEN CARE OF ON SITE.

OUR AVERAGE RESIDENT, UH, OR IN OUR RESIDENT'S AVERAGE INCOME IN AN URBANI COMMUNITY TENDS TO BE AROUND $75,000 A YEAR PLUS OR MINUS DEPENDENT ON THE MARKET THAT WE'RE IN.

SO OUR TYPICAL URBANO FLOOR PLANS RANGE FROM 630 SQUARE FEET TO 1,380 SQUARE FEET.

THEY'RE ONE BEDROOM, TWO BEDROOM, AND THREE BEDROOM FLOOR PLANS, AND A ONE AND TWO STORY.

AND OF COURSE, AGAIN, EVERY UNIT HAS A BACKYARD.

OUR BACKYARDS ARE THE WIDTH OF THE UNIT BY A 10 FOOT MINIMUM DEPTH.

SO THE WAY OUR FOOTPRINT WORKS THAT EQUATES TO A 240 SQUARE FOOT BACKYARD, WHICH ALLOWS AMPLE ROOM FOR PETS FOR A BARBECUE FOR YOUR BACKYARD FURNITURE, GATHERINGS, AND SO FORTH.

TYPICAL LAYOUT OF THE NIRVANA COMMUNITY.

UM, THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT HERE WOULD BE THE, THE CENTRALIZED PARKING.

SO WE GO TO LANGSTON THE SITE PLANNING PHASE TO PUT OUR PARKING INTERIOR TO THE COMMUNITY.

SO SURROUNDING WITH ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDINGS, SHIELDING ARTERIAL ROADS FROM PARKING AND, UH, FROM OUR INTERIOR PARKING, UH, AND THEN AMENITIES AGAIN, SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

SO CLUBHOUSE AND LEASING CENTER AT THE FRONT, IN THIS COMMUNITY, WE HAD A OUTDOOR FITNESS CENTER ALONG WITH GAMING CENTER AND THEN LARGE DOG PARK AND ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

AND THEN DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION, UH, CONNECTIVITY TO TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE AS WELL.

SO THIS IS, THESE ARE IMAGES FROM ONE OF OUR COMMUNITIES OFF OF, UH, SOUTH SLAUGHTER, MRS. R URBANA AT GOODNIGHT RANCH COMMUNITY.

THE THINGS I WANTED TO POINT OUT HERE, I'M SORRY, TOP LEFT CORNER WOULD BE, UH, OUR COMPATIBILITY WITH SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES IN THE BACKGROUND.

SO DENSITY, UH, COMMISERATE WITH A SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL KIND OF A STEP DOWN TO THE YARD OR A STEP DOWN FROM OUR ARTERIAL ROAD TO THE SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL BEHIND US IN THE TOP, RIGHT? AT POINT OUT OUR LARGE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS, AGAIN, OUR OUTWARD FACING ARCHITECTURE SCREENING, THE PARKING ON THE INTERIOR OF THE SITE.

AND THEN OF COURSE OUR AMENITIZED PROPERTY FEATURES CLUBHOUSE POOL LEASING CENTER.

IN TERMS OF THE INTERIORS, THE URBANA YARD HOME UNITS THEMSELVES.

I LIKE TO SAY THAT THEY ARE A LEVEL ONE BUILDER,

[00:35:01]

UH, UPGRADE PRODUCTS.

SO THESE ARE HARD SURFACE COUNTERTOPS COURTS, GRANTED, UH, DESIGNER GRADE FAUCETS AND FIXTURES, UH, IN THIS COMMUNITY, WE HAD TO TONE, UH, CABINET PACKAGES, LEVER HARDWARE IN THE KITCHEN STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES.

AND OF COURSE, AGAIN, EVERY UNIT WITH A LARGE BACKYARD FOR GATHERING AND ENTERTAINING FREE TRAFFIC.

QUICKLY A LIST OF OUR URBANO PROJECTS IN THE, IN THE BOSTON MARKET AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

UH, JUST QUICK NOTE, UH, ARE THE FIRST TWO PROJECTS HERE HAVE BEEN LEASED UP AND, UH, ARE FULLY LEASED UP.

UH, THE, AND THE REMAINDER HERE ARE IN VARIOUS STAGES OF ENTITLEMENTS RIGHT NOW.

NECESSARILY TRANSLATE TO LEANDER.

WHICH TAKES US INTO APPROPRIATE ARCHITECTURE.

SO I PUT IN FRONT OF YOU, UH, THE SLIDE OF OUR PROJECT AT URBANI GOODNIGHT RANCH.

UM, WHEN WE GO INTO A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD INTO A NEW MUNICIPALITY, WE DO SO UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE VERY MUCH THE OUTSIDER.

AND SO THE ELEVATIONS THAT I'LL SHOW YOU IN A MINUTE, THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT WE'VE HAD WITH NEIGHBORS AND, UH, THE OUTREACH DON WITH MARIN COUNCIL, AS WELL AS NEIGHBORS HAS BEEN DONE WITH THAT UNDERSTANDING.

SO THE ARCHITECTURE WE'VE PUT IN FRONT OF YOU IS OUR BEST INTERPRETATION OF THE FABRIC AND IDENTITY, BUT WE'RE CERTAINLY OPEN TO DISCUSSION AND TWEAKING AND MODIFYING BASED ON, ON FEEDBACK.

SO THE SORT OF CONTEMPORARY AND VERY BRIGHT COLORS YOU SAW GOODNIGHT RANCH YEAH.

AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE A FLY-THROUGH VIDEO THAT WE CAN GO TO AT THE END, IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT, UH, ONE OF OUR PROJECTS IN MORE DETAIL.

AND THAT REALLY SUMS UP FOR BONNIE YARD HOMES AND, UH, ABOUT US AND OUR PRODUCT.

AND I GET INTO THE POT ITSELF.

A LOT OF THIS IS REDUNDANT OF THE STAFF REPORT.

SO IN EVERYBODY'S INTEREST OF TIME, I WON'T GO THERE UNLESS WE NEED TO CIRCLE BACK ON SOMETHING.

I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF QUICK THINGS.

I THINK IN TERMS OF THE LANDER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

I WANT TO NOTE THAT, UH, WE FEEL WE'RE ACCOMPLISHING A FEW GOALS, UH, WITH OUR YARD HOME PROJECT SPECIFICALLY, WE'RE ADDRESSING A DIVERSITY OF HOUSING STOCK.

AGAIN, CATERING TO THAT MISSING MIDDLE PRODUCT.

WE FEEL WE'RE A, UH, TRANSITION THAT USE OR BUFFERING THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE WESTWOOD COMMUNITY AND CARNEROS RANCH COMMUNITY TO THE ARTERIALS, A HERO AND KLEIN AND FUTURE COMMERCIAL.

AND WE ARE PROVIDING A MIX SO USES WITHIN OUR PUD, RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL, SOME POD STANDARDS, AGAIN, REDUNDANT.

THIS IS A ZOOM IN OF OUR PROPOSED DOG PARK.

I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY A COUPLE THINGS ON THIS.

SO WE PROPOSED, UH, THE DOG PARK IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR DETENTION BASIN SOUTH OF THE FUTURE EXTENSION AT COTTONTAIL DRIVE THE DISCUSSIONS.

AND WE CAN GET INTO THE DISCUSSIONS WITH NEIGHBORS LATER.

ORIGINALLY WE PROPOSED THAT IT WOULD BE A PUBLIC, A PUBLIC PARK.

THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN OF WHAT THAT MEANT IF IT WAS WIDELY PUBLIC.

AND SO THE COMMENT OR THE AGREEMENT WE MADE IS WE WOULD BE OPEN TO A SEMI-PUBLIC SCENARIO IF THAT WAS EVEN A VIABLE PATH FOR THE CITY.

SO WE'LL DEDICATE THE LAND, WE'LL BUILD THE DOG PARK AND WE'LL MAINTAIN IT IN PERPETUITY.

AND IN SOME FASHION, IT WILL BE OPEN TO THE NEIGHBORS OF THE SURROUNDING OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.

AGAIN, POD STANDARDS, UH, REDUNDANT OF THE PRESENTATION.

I DID NOTE THAT I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO BE REVISITING THE SIDEWALK, UH, PROPOSAL WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO WE HAD THREE FOOT SIDEWALKS.

I, AND I SAW THE STAFF REPORT RECOMMENDATION.

AND WE'RE CERTAINLY OPEN TO DISCUSSING THAT IN A FEW MINUTES HERE, MORE POD STANDARDS, A COLLAGE OF THE, OF THE RENDERINGS THAT WE'VE PROPOSED.

THESE HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO MARIN COUNCIL, AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORS.

UM, AGAIN, A STARTING POINT FOR DISCUSSIONS.

THIS WAS OUR INTERPRETATION, BUT OPEN TO FEEDBACK AND FINALLY OUR OUTREACH.

SO THE THOUGHT PROCESS ON THE OUTREACH CAMPAIGN HERE, INITIALLY IN, AT THE END OF LAST YEAR, I SENT LETTERS TO THE IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION ZONE, THE 500 FOOT NEIGHBORS, UNDERSTANDING THAT THE 500 FOOT NEIGHBORS HAVE A DIFFERENT SET OF CONCERNS THAN MAYBE SOMEBODY HALF A MILE AWAY WOULD, UH, SO WANTED TO VERY QUICKLY GET, GET FEEDBACK FROM THEM, SENT LETTERS IN DECEMBER, UH, WITH EVERYBODY THAT RESPONDED, I ASKED FOR A, UH, ONE-ON-ONE PHONE CONVERSATION AND OR ZOOM MEETING.

UH, AND I HAD THAT WITH EVERYBODY THAT RESPONDED TO THE LETTERS, UH, SUBSEQUENTLY IN MAY REACHED OUT TO WESTWOOD HOMEOWNERS BOARD, HAD A VIRTUAL MEETING WITH THE BOARD AND THEN, UH, FOLLOWED UP BY SETTING UP HOMEOWNER MEETINGS, OR I'M SORRY, NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, UH, WITH CARNEROS RANCH, WITH WESTWOOD, AND THEN WITH THE NON HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION

[00:40:01]

NEIGHBORS WITHIN THE 500 FOOT NOTIFICATIONS ZONE.

AND ONE MORE NOTE ON THOSE, ON THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS.

SO IN THE CASE OF WESTWOOD, INSTEAD OF W RATHER THAN NOTIFYING ONLY THE 18 NOTIFICATION NEIGHBORS, WE NOTIFIED ALL 486 HOMEOWNERS WITHIN THE WESTWOOD HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, UH, AND THEN CARNEROS RANCH INSTEAD OF THE FOUR AND THE 500 NOTICE OF 500 FOOT NOTIFICATION ZONE.

WE NOTIFIED 319 HOMEOWNERS THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, AND I'LL BE BACK FOR DISCUSSION.

AT THIS POINT, WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I DO NOT EVERYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

DOES ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE? IF NOT, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, UM, MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION COMMISSIONER COSGRAVE UM, UM, I'M NOT SURE I STILL UNDERSTAND WHETHER A SEMI PUBLIC PARK LOOKS LIKE, BUT, UM, I HAVE A FEW OTHER QUESTIONS.

DO WE KNOW WHAT THE SIDE SIT BACK IS ON, ON THAT PUC SUBDIVISION AND HOW CLOSE THAT, THAT THESE PLANNED UNITS WOULD BE? ARE YOU ASKING ABOUT THE SETBACK REQUIREMENT WITHIN THAT, THAT, WHERE WE HAD THAT PDF? I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

WE SET IT UP TO BE VERY FAR FROM THE ROAD.

, I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED PUTTING, UM, THIS PRODUCT RIGHT ON TOP OF THE SUBSECTION.

UM, I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS RUNNING AROUND CHAIRMAN.

SO IF YOU'LL COME BACK TO ME WHILE I TRY AND MAKE THEM REASONABLE, MR. CARPENTER, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

UM, I DON'T KNOW.

I NOTICED KIND OF HERE, THE COMMENTS WERE TO TAKE COTTONTAIL DRIVE THROUGH TO LAKELAND OR TO LAKELINE, AND THAT CROSSES SOME PRIVATE PROPERTY BACK THERE IN THAT FAR LOWER CORNER THAT WOULD BE DOWN THERE.

IS THERE ANY REASON WHY YOU DON'T PURCHASE THAT AND CONNECT THAT THROUGH AT THIS TIME? UM, SO IN THE VERY EARLY DISCUSSIONS OF, OF THE PROJECT, WE KIND OF FORESEE, I GUESS, A LITTLE PUSHBACK, BOTH DIRECTIONS, THE NEIGHBORS POTENTIALLY NOT WANTING COTTONTAIL DRIVE TO CONNECT THROUGH.

SO WE, WE, WE CAME FORWARD WITH SORT OF AN OPEN MIND WHETHER COTTONTAIL WOULD CONNECT THROUGH OR NOT, UM, REPORTED THAT BACK TO THE NEIGHBORS THAT IT NEEDS TO CONNECT THROUGH FOR UTILITY, UH, LOOPS AND SO FORTH.

NOW, AS FAR AS PURCHASING THE LAND, THAT IS, THAT IS OWNED BY A TOTALLY THIRD PARTY THAT WE DON'T.

SO IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO ANY NEGOTIATION WITH SOMEBODY WE HAVE NOT DEALT WITH.

THE OTHER THING YOU MENTIONED IS ON HERE THAT 75% OF THESE PROPERTIES WOULD HAVE GARAGES, CORRECT.

I DIDN'T SEE ANY GARAGES ON ANY RENDERINGS ANYWHERE OR IN ANY OF YOUR PARKING POINTS.

SO THERE IS A, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT IN THE POD FOR IT TO BE ARCHITECTURAL, TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE UNITS THEMSELVES.

AND SO THERE IS NOT A, UH, UH, CONCEPT, I'M SORRY, A CONCEPT LAYOUT DEVELOPED FOR THIS SITE THAT WAS PUT IN FRONT OF YOU.

I HAD, UH, I HAD OUR URBANI GOODNIGHT RANCH, A PREVIOUS SITE THAT DID NOT HAVE GARAGES.

SO THE CONCEPT LAND USE MAP THAT YOU SAW DIDN'T HAVE ROADS ON IT, EITHER.

MY CONCERN IS THAT WHEN YOU START PLOPPING GARAGES ON ALL OF THOSE LITTLE PARKING STALLS THAT YOU SHOW, YOU REALLY START TO CONGEST THE AREA AND THE LOOK THAT IT HAS TO THE REST OF THE OKAY.

UNDERSTOOD.

AND I, YEAH, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.

AND SO ONE OF THE CONCEPTS WE'VE STUDIED THIS A LITTLE BIT IS HAVING A SPINE ROAD DOWN THE SOLDER CENTER AND THEN HAVING FISH ON, OR KIND OF FISH OFF THE SIDE.

AND THOSE WOULD BE YOUR PARKING ACCESS OR A GARAGE LANES, IF YOU WILL.

AND SO THE CENTER SPINE DOWN THE CENTER OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND THIS IS GATED, SO IT'S NOT A STREET FACING OR A COMMUNITY FACING STREET BEHIND THE GATES.

WE'D HAVE A CENTER SPINE, UH, THAT WOULD NOT HAVE ANY COVERED PARKING OR GARAGES ALONG.

IT, IT WOULD JUST BE THE PERIPHERY IF YOU WILL, FINGERS OFF THE MAIN SPINE.

WE DID, UH, I MEAN, WE HAVE TALKED WITH PEC.

THOSE WERE MY CONCERNS.

I HAVE AN ANSWER TO THE SETBACK QUESTION.

UM, SO IN THE PEC PUD, THE SIDE SETBACK IS FIVE FEET.

AND THEN IN THIS DOCUMENT, IT LOOKS LIKE THE BUILDING SETBACK IS 25 FEET.

SO WE COULD THEORETICALLY HAVE HAD SOME OF THESE UNITS 25 FEET FROM THE, FROM THE SUBSTATIONS OVER HERE, 30 FEET, 30 FEET.

[00:45:01]

UM, WE WERE HERE AROUND THE TIME THAT OUR REZONING WAS COMING THROUGH AS WELL, PROPOSING THE PROJECT.

UM, AND WE'VE, WE'VE CONSIDERED IT AS WELL, WHERE WE'RE DESIGNING THAT AREA WITH, WITH UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A SUBSTATION THERE.

SO UNITS ARE TURNED SIDEWAYS.

WE'RE NOT FACING BACK YARDS TOWARD THE SUBSTATION.

THERE'S STILL PROXIMITY TO THE SUBSTATION, BUT NOT AIMING BACKYARDS AND WINDOWS AND YOUR VIEW LINE AT THE SUBSTATION.

THERE'S STILL A, THERE'S STILL A NOISE ISSUE OUT OF THOSE ASSOCIATIONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

AND YOU'RE PUTTING SOMEBODY 30 FEET FROM IT.

SO, UM, I'M WONDERING IF, IF YOU'RE 25 FOOT IS, IS A HARD NUMBER OR A, WE HAVE SOMEPLACE WE CAN GO WITH THAT SO, WELL, WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT IT.

THE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE INCREASED THAT BUFFER BETWEEN OUR, OUR RESIDENTS TO THE EAST OF US AS WELL.

UM, AND ADDED A LANDSCAPE BUFFER.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE CONCEPT LAND USE MAP IS IN, WELL, I FIND IT.

SO THE OTHER CONSIDERATION IS OUR DETENTION POND IS IN THAT TOP NORTHEAST CORNER.

AND SO THAT IS, UH, I HAVEN'T SEEN THEIR FINAL DESIGN.

I KNOW THEY'RE COMING BACK THROUGH, BUT A PORTION OF THAT SUBSTATION, IT'S GOING TO BE UP HERE, RIGHT? THE TREES, I THINK THE TREE LINE COMES TO ABOUT HERE AND MY UNDERSTANDING, LISTENING TO THE CASE LAST TIME, THAT WAS THE ISSUE IS PRESERVING THAT THEY HAVE A 200 FOOT REAR SETBACK FOR PEC.

AND THEN, UM, IT'S A 50 FOOT FRONT SETBACK.

AND SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PROBABLY VERY SMALL AREA OF EXPOSURE THERE.

I'M GOOD FOR RIGHT NOW, MR. HAMPTON, YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THAT YOU'RE OPEN TO DISCUSSION ON THE SIDEWALKS BEING FROM GIRLFRIEND THREE TO FOUR.

YES, SIR.

SO THAT JUST, WE CAN JUST SAY YES AND CHECK THAT OFF.

SO CAN I, SO THE THREE-FOOT IS BASED ON PAST PROJECTS, WE'VE DONE THREE FOOT AND HAVING RECEIVED RESIDENT FEEDBACK.

THAT THAT'S A PROBLEM AT THE SAME TIME.

I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN.

I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE TO, YOU WOULD HAVE TO GET OUT OF A RESIDENT'S WAY IF THEY WERE COMING AT YOU.

AND SO I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT THERE.

I'M SURE IF I ASKED A RESIDENT, IF YOU'D PREFER THREE OR FOUR FEET OR THREE OR FIVE FEET, I KNOW THE ANSWER.

SO I, MY PROPOSAL, I GUESS, WOULD BE TO LOOK AT AND I CAN MAYBE, YEAH, PERFECT.

SO BACKING FURTHER AREAS, I OFF THE CUFF WOULD SUGGEST FOUR FEET, ABSOLUTELY.

ON LONG INTERIOR SPINE SIDEWALKS, PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY AREAS, I WOULD SUGGEST FOR THE ASK WOULD BE ON THESE SORT OF PERIPHERY SPINES.

IF THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, THREE UNITS, FOUR UNITS, WHATEVER IT IS, IF WE COULD WORK TOGETHER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT, WHAT IS REASONABLE AND CERTAINLY, UH, A SINGLE FRONT DOOR GOING TO THE FRONT DOOR, THE ASK WOULD BE FOR THREE FEET.

AND THEN, UM, FOR THE, SO I HEARD YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE IS GOING TO BE INCLUDED.

IS THAT A PART OF THE RENT OR IS THAT BE LIKE ADDITIONAL? NO, IT'S, IT'S PART OF THE RENT.

SO IT FUNCTIONS, THERE'S A, UH, SO THERE IS ONSITE MANAGEMENT AND A SINGLE OWNER, LIKE AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

AND SO YEAH.

MAINTENANCE IS ONSITE AND INCLUDED IN RENT.

AFRICA COMMISSION, UH, WOULD YOU MIND PULLING UP, I THINK, UNFORTUNATELY IT'S IN YOUR PDF, ONE OF YOUR LITTLE SITE PLANS FOR YOUR PREVIOUS COMMUNITIES YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

SO THIS IS A FUNNY, FUNNY CASE FOR ME, AT LEAST, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE HADN'T SEEN THIS BEFORE TONIGHT.

AND SO, UM, MY, I WAS SORT OF ALL OVER THE PLACE, YOU KNOW, IT, IT WAS REFERRED TO IN OUR DOCUMENTATION AS MIXED USE, BUT REALLY IT'S A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A TINY BIT OF LOCAL COMMERCIAL TRACT RIGHT AT THE FRONT.

AND THEN YOU GOT UP HERE AND YOU SAID MISSING MIDDLE, AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING TO ME DIRECTLY.

I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT

[00:50:01]

THAT.

UH, BUT, BUT YOU KNOW, TO ME, A LOT OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, DAN PAROLEK, THE GUY WHO COINED MISSING MIDDLE IS, IS TALKING ABOUT, IS NOT JUST THIS DIVERSITY OF HOUSING TYPE, BUT THE DIVERSITY OF OWNERSHIP THAT COMES ACROSS, UH, COMES ALONG WITH THAT OFTEN.

AND I THOUGHT, OH, WOW, THIS IS A REALLY INTERESTING CONCEPT.

I THOUGHT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BUNCH OF LITTLE FEES, SIMPLE LOTS, BUT I MEAN, IT IS, IT IS DETACHED APARTMENTS.

SO THEN I'M KIND OF BACK ON THE OTHER SIDE ABOUT IT.

BUT I MEAN, I CERTAINLY LIKED THE IDEA OF DOING SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT.

I WILL SAY THAT, UM, TO THE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFIC ITEMS, WE'VE ALREADY BROUGHT UP, UM, I AM OF COURSE, A MASSIVE PROPONENT FOR SIDEWALKS, BUT THE REASON YOU NEED WIDE SIDEWALKS IS BECAUSE YOU NEED PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO PASS OTHER FOLKS WHEN THEY'RE CONVEYING ACROSS, YOU KNOW, SORT OF A LARGER AREA.

SO THE INTERIOR, UM, UH, SIDEWALKS, THE ONES THAT ARE SORT OF BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS AS THIS GENTLEMAN WAS JUST MENTIONING.

THERE'S NO REASON THOSE NEED TO BE BIG.

NOW THIS DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A STREET NETWORK.

AND YOU SAID, IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BE GATED.

CORRECT.

THAT'S A BUZZKILL FOR ME AS WELL.

BUT, UM, I WOULD SUGGEST CERTAINLY THAT ALONG ALL OF THE ROADS OR THE PRIVATE DRIVES, IF YOU WILL, THAT'S WHERE YOU REQUIRE THE BIGGER SIDEWALKS NOW, MRS. GRIFFIN, WHAT ON A STANDARD, YOU KNOW, SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL, STRAIGHT ZONING CASE WITH THE, UM, STANDARD STREET CROSS SECTIONS THAT WE HAVE NOW, WHAT SIDE SIDEWALKS WOULD WE REQUIRE? SO THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES FOUR FEATS AND THEN THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, IT, IT ENCOURAGES FIVE FEET.

SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT AN UPDATE TO THE ORDINANCE.

SO THE NEWEST TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND WHEN WE JUST APPROVE, IT'S LOOKING FOR FIVE ALONE.

GREAT IF THEY HAVE THE GARAGES.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT'S WHAT I WOULD BE WANTING IS I'D WANT FIVE FOOT ALONG YOUR ROAD SYSTEM, IF YOU WILL, AND THREE FOOT ALONG THE INTERIOR STUFF, I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH.

AND WHEN YOU SAY ROAD SYSTEM, YOU'RE TALKING, YOU'RE NOT JUST COTTONTAIL, YOU'RE TALKING THE MAIN SPINE THROUGH THE CENTER.

SO, SO THIS, THIS GOT THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, UH, ALONG THIS LEFT-HAND ROAD, WHICH I CAN'T READ ALDERMAN DRIVE.

SO YOU HAVE THIS SERIES OF I'M GOING TO CALL THEM ROADS, BUT I UNDERSTAND THEY'RE PRIVATE DRIVEWAYS.

SO YOU HAVE A SERIES OF THOSE RUNNING THROUGH THIS PROPERTY.

NOW YOUR PLAN BASED ON THE WIDTH OF THE PLAN HERE IN LEANDER, YOU'RE PRESUMING ONE SINGLE VERTICAL, I SAY VERTICAL NORTH, SOUTH PRIVATE DRIVE THAT RUNS INTO COTTON TAIL COTTONWOOD, COTTONTAIL.

AND THAT'S IT.

THAT'S THE EXACTLY RIGHT? THAT'S THE ONLY ONE I'D EXPECT THE WIDER SIDEWALKS ALONG IS THAT MAIN CONVEYANCE OUT TO THE STREET.

I'D ALSO LIKE A PEDESTRIAN ACCESS GATE THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A CODE SO THAT IF SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO GET TO THE BACKSIDE OF WHATEVER THAT WESTWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD IS, AND THEY'RE COMING DOWN HERO WAY, PEOPLE CAN GET THROUGH WITHOUT HAVING TO BUZZ THROUGH.

SO WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF NEIGHBORHOODS DO THAT, WHERE YOU'VE GOT A GATE FOR THE CARS, THEY'VE GOT TO PRESS A BUTTON OR PUT IN A CODE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BUT YOU LET THE PEDESTRIANS CONVEY ACROSS THE PROPERTY, DOWN THE MAIN SIDEWALK.

THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I'D BE LOOKING FOR.

OTHERWISE.

I SAY WE SHOULD GIVE EVERYTHING NEW, A TRY AT LEAST ONCE.

AND I CERTAINLY DON'T.

I MEAN, THE PRODUCT WILL LEASE, I GUESS, NOT SELL THE PRODUCT.

WE'LL LEASE WITHOUT QUESTION HERE.

SO PROVIDING A DIVERSITY OF HOUSING TYPES IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE WITH THE MARKET AS IT IS NOW.

SO I THINK THAT'S IT FOR ME FIRST OFF, I WANT TO APPLAUD THAT IT'S NOT THREE STORY GARDEN APARTMENTS.

LIKE WE SEE POPPING UP ALL OVER OUR CITY.

UM, THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT I HEAR FROM FEEDBACK FROM EVERYBODY IS DON'T APPROVE ANOTHER APARTMENT COMPLEX.

SO I SAW MULTI-FAMILY ON HERE.

I TOOK A DEEP BREATH.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE COMMERCIAL TO THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY ALONG HERE OR AWAY.

UM, AND I HAVE A BIG CONCERN WITH THE HOUSING.

THAT'S GOING TO BE NEXT TO THE PC.

YOU TOLD US.

I MEAN, WE, I THINK ORIGINALLY THEY WERE TALKING LIKE 50 FEET FROM THE RESIDENCE AND A WESTWOOD AND WE HAD MOVE IT UP 200 FEET FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY DO, THEY HAVE FANS AND THEY DO MAKE NOISE AND WE DO HAVE THUNDERSTORMS HERE.

AND THOSE, UH, WHAT DO THEY CALL THOSE TRANSFORMERS BLOW UP.

AND WITH IT BEING 30 FEET FROM SOMEONE'S HOUSE, THAT THAT COULD BE A CONCERN.

AND I, I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST MEETING WITH PEC TO SEE MAYBE PUTTING THE DETENTION POND OR OTHER ITEMS CLOSER TO THE PEC AND THE BUILDINGS FURTHER AWAY.

UM, I KNOW YOU CAN'T GO 200 FEET.

UH, YOU'D HAVE COMMERCIALS AT THE VERY TOP AND NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE, RIGHT.

UH, WE DON'T WANT TO HOLD YOU HOSTAGE ON THAT, BUT I DO HAVE CONCERNS WITH THIS OVER THAT.

AND PARKING IS ALWAYS A BIG PET PEEVE OF MINE.

UM, IT'S

[00:55:01]

UM, BUT WE, WE HAVE ISSUES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE GUESTS COMING OVER AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM A NICE BACKYARD TO HAVE GUESTS COME OVER.

AND WITH 1.8 PARKING SPACES PER UNIT, WHERE DID THE GUESTS PARK, UM, AND I'M SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.

I KNOW THAT THEY TH THE, TYPICALLY THEY OVERFLOW INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND, AND THAT, THAT IS A CONCERN OF MINE.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

OH, I JUST, SOMETHING ELSE CAME TO ME, BUT I'LL COME BACK.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO YOU GOING AHEAD, COMMISSIONER.

I HAVE THE QUESTION, UH, IS THERE A PLAN FOR THE COMMERCIAL PIECE? SO THE SELLER LANDOWNER IS RETAINING THE COMMERCIAL FOR A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE'RE BRINGING SEWER AND WATER THROUGH OUR DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NOW HE'S ON SEPTIC AND AN UNDERSIZED WATER LINE AND NO DETENTION.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE OVERSIZING DETENTION TO SERVICE THAT PARCEL AND BRINGING UTILITIES FOR THE ULTIMATE REDEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME, HE DOESN'T HAVE PLANS.

I'M JUST GENUINELY INTERESTED.

DID THE COMMISSIONER COST, OH, SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

ONE MORE, ONE MORE THING ON THE NUMBER OF UNITS IS THAT A, UH, W WHERE Y'ALL SAYING, HOW MANY CAN WE FIT IN HERE? OR THIS IS A REASONABLE NUMBER.

SO THIS IS A REASONABLE NUMBER, AND THERE IS A FINANCIAL ASPECT TO EVERY PROJECT.

AND SO IT'S A BALANCE OF OUR, OUR MODEL HERE.

YOU SEE, I COULD FIT MORE UNITS IN QUITE A FEW AREAS.

I COULD FIT UNITS HERE.

I COULD HAVE TURNED SOME UNITS AND SQUARED THEM OFF.

SO WE DO LIKE TO CREATE POCKETS OF OPEN SPACE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND NOT CRAM AS MANY UNITS AS POSSIBLE.

I THINK THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION.

MY, MY QUESTION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHO, HOW I WILL VOTE ON THIS.

IT SOUNDS TO ME, YOU, YOUR ORGANIZATION, YOUR COMPANY IS THE ACTUAL, YOU'RE GOING TO HANDLE THE BUILDING AND DEVELOPING OF THIS.

WE DON'T OFTEN GET THAT IN HERE.

IS THAT WHAT YOU DO, SIR? OKAY.

LET ME ASK YOU THIS.

I'M INTERESTED HERE.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU NOT JUST ATTACH ALL OF THESE AND MAKE THEM TOWNHOMES, AND THEN ALL OF THAT WASTED SPACE BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS YOU PROVIDE TO MORE PUBLIC SPACE OR YOU, OR, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU PUT BEHIND THEM OR, OR THEIR YARDS GET A LITTLE BIT BIGGER? I MEAN, IT SEEMS TO ME, QUITE FRANKLY, THAT IT'S ACTUALLY WASTING SPACE.

HAVING ALL OF THESE THINGS BE DETACHED.

IS THAT LIKE THE COST MECHANICS OF PUTTING IN FIREWALLS OR WHAT I MEAN, WHAT ELSE? SO I THINK IT'S, IT'S A PHILOSOPHICAL DEBATE.

WE DEBATE IN THE BEGINNING WHEN WE STARTED THIS, WE, WE REALLY STRUGGLED WITH WHETHER ATTACHING THE ONE BEDROOMS WAS HURTING OUR MODEL OF YOUR STUFF, NOT LIVING ABOVE OR BELOW SOMEONE NOT LIVING ATTACHED TO SOMEONE, BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE OFFERING RIGHT NOW, SINGLE FAMILY LIVING WITH MULTIFAMILY AMENITIES.

AND SO IT, WE'RE NOW REVISITING THAT.

AND I, WE HAVE PRODUCT IN THE WORKS THAT ARE MORE DUPLEXES TO YOUR POINT TO FREE UP MORE OPEN SPACE.

YEP.

INTERESTING.

ALRIGHT, WELL, THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE THAT.

GOT IT.

SO THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH, UH, THE SINGLE ADJUSTMENT THAT WHILE INTERNAL SIDEWALKS CAN CONTINUE TO BE THREE FEET, THE, UH, SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MAIN PRIMARY DRIVE ARE FIVE FOOT.

SO ARE, ARE YOU SAYING JUST ONE DRIVE OR ARE YOU SAYING LIKE ALL THEY ONLY HAD? I DON'T THINK WE REALLY HAVE THAT INFORMATION YET.

I WOULD INSIST UPON IT BEING ALONG ALL.

NO, I GUESS I WOULD SAY JUST THE MAIN, IF THERE'S A MAIN NORTH SOUTH THOROUGHFARE, THAT'S, EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE SO CLOSE TO IT FROM EITHER SIDE.

HE MENTIONED I'M SO SORRY, SIR.

WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN? ZACH ZACH MENTIONED, UM, PERHAPS HAVING THESE LITTLE, LIKE 10 DRILL SORT OF THINGS FOR PARKING OR SOMETHING.

I DON'T THINK YOU NEED THE LONG THERE.

YOU JUST NEED TO, WHEN PEOPLE GET OUT ONTO THE ROAD, WHICH IS THE MAIN NORTH, SOUTH CONVEYANCE AND COTTON TAIL AT THE BOTTOM, THOSE NEED FIVE FOOT SIDEWALKS ON EITHER SIDE OF THEM.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'D LIKE THAT STATED A DIFFERENT WAY, MRS. GRIFFIN.

SO THAT'S THE MOTION AS IT STANDS.

I'LL SET THAT ONE.

HE'S AWARE OF MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HEINZ SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CARPENTER, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, ALL THOSE OPPOSED PASSES THREE TO TWO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.

I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE PROJECT.

I MEAN, I THINK THE PROJECT IS GOOD.

I THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE A, THE 25 FOOT SETBACK FROM ME IS, IS NOT ENOUGH FROM THE PDC BUILDING.

YOU KNOW, I, WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT DISCUSSING BEFORE HE VOTED, BUT LET ME SAY, I, I TAKE, I TAKE THAT POINT.

HERE'S A QUESTION I SHOULD'VE ASKED EARLIER, BUT DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE TIMELINE ON THE PEC THING GOING IN VERSUS THIS PROJECT GOING IN? LIKE HOW SOON AS PEC GOING TO BE BUILDING THAT SUBSTATION, RIGHT? THEY EITHER HAVE SUBMITTED OR IF THEY'RE ABOUT TO SUBMIT THE PLANS? NO.

THOUGHT IS, IF IT'S THERE FIRST, THEN PEOPLE WHO MOVE IN HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO LIVE NEXT TO IT.

MR. COSGROVE, MY

[01:00:01]

IF IT GETS THERE LAST THAT'S PROBLEMATIC.

SURE.

I, I AGREE WITH THAT IN TERMS OF, I THINK IN THIS CASE, THERE ARE SOME, THERE, THERE MAY IN FACT BE IF YOU, UM, ISSUES THAT PEOPLE WHO SAY, OH, I'LL LIVE THERE, THEN GO, OH, I DIDN'T REALLY REALIZE WHAT IT MEANT TO LIVE NEXT TO A TRANSFORMER.

YOU KNOW? I MEAN, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECONSIDER.

IF YOU HAD SOME SUGGESTION ON HOW FAR YOU WANT TO MAKE THE HOUSE AND THE BILLS.

AND I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I, I MEAN, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE, WE'RE, THAT'S WHERE, UM, I JUST HAD MY HEAD, WE HAD 9,000 THINGS GOING ON IN IT BECAUSE OF THAT VERY FACT.

HOW FAR DO YOU MAKE IT, WHERE IT BECOMES, UH, IT'S NO LONGER VIABLE FOR THE DEVELOPER, UM, ET CETERA.

WELL, WE COULD, WE COULD MOTION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.

UH, I THINK, I THINK WE CAN MAKE A SECOND RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL THAT ENCOURAGES THE DEVELOPER TO CONTACT PEC AND COME UP WITH A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION FOR THIS GOING FORWARD.

HOPEFULLY.

HOPEFULLY THEY'LL HEAR THIS.

AND, AND, AND THEY WILL DO EXACTLY THAT.

I, I HOPE THAT THEY WOULD DO THAT.

AGENDA ITEM, NUMBER 12, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ACTION REGARDING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CASE 21, CPA 0, 0 3, TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE CATEGORY FROM EMPLOYMENT CENTER TO NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL AND CONSIDER ACTION REGARDING ZONING CASE 21 Z 0 21 TO AMEND THE CURRENT ZONING OF IN INTERIM S F R ONE DASH B.

AND IF MRS. GRIFFIN, WHEN YOU PRESENT THIS TO THEM, IF YOU COULD TELL HIM WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION, THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.

YES, PLEASE.

YES, BECAUSE THAT IS A PRETTY MAJOR CONCERN.

AS LONG AS THE PEOPLE RENTING THE PRODUCT KNOW THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE.

RIGHT? YEAH.

THEY COULD RECOMMEND THEM.

BY THE WAY.

I DID LIKE THE PLAN, THEY SAY I'M ANTI APARTMENTS, BUT I THINK THIS IS IN THEORY, A VERY GOOD, UH, IF YOU WILL, IN BETWEEN PROJECT NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA

[12. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider action regarding Comprehensive Plan Case 21-CPA-003 to amend the Comprehensive Plan land use category from Employment Center to Neighborhood Residential and consider action regarding Zoning Case 21-Z-021 to amend the current zoning of Interim SFR-1-B (Single-Family Rural) to SFC-2-A (Single-Family Compact) and SFU-2-A (Single-Family Urban) on two parcels of land approximately 44.385 acres ± in size, more particularly described by Williamson Central Appraisal District Parcels R031640 and R031642; and more commonly known as 500 Heritage Grove Road, Leander, Williamson County, Texas. Discuss and consider action regarding Comprehensive Plan Case 21-CPA-003 as described above. Discuss and consider action regarding Zoning Case 21-Z-021 as described above. Staff Presentation Applicant Presentation Open Public Hearing Close Public Hearing Discussion Consider Action]

SINGLE-FAMILY RURAL TO S F C TO A SINGLE FAMILY, COMPACT AND SF TO A SINGLE FAMILY, URBAN ON TWO PARCELS OF LAND, APPROXIMATELY 44.38, FIVE ACRES IN SIZE AND MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 500 HERITAGE GROVE ROAD, LEANDRA, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS STAFF PRESENTATION, EVEN IN COMMISSIONERS MICHAEL PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

SO THIS REQUEST IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS, AS WELL AS THE FIRST STEP IN THE ZONING PROCESS.

SO THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATED ZONING DISTRICT OF THE PROPERTY IN ORDER TO DEVELOP SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL PROJECT.

ONE OF THE SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THIS PROPERTY IS THAT THE PROPERTY WAS PART OF A PREVIOUS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST, A 20 CPA DASH 0 0 8.

AT THAT TIME, UH, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP HAD DESIGNATED THIS AREA AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL AND THE COMMERCIAL SLASH INDUSTRIAL USES, UH, WERE PROHIBITED, UH, THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE UPDATED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

NOW, UH, DESIGNATES THIS AREA AS AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER, WHICH DOES ALLOW, UH, COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, BUT, UH, RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS ARE PROHIBITED.

I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC.

UM, SO THE SURROUNDING AREA THAT THE PROPERTY'S LOCATED JUST NORTH OF HERITAGE GROVE ROAD AND, UH, EAST OF THE, UM, SORRY, I JUST LOST MY PLACE OF THE HAVEN OAKS SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

UM, IT IS ON THE EAST OR ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS OVER HERE AS WE SAW EARLIER.

AND THEN OVER HERE IS THAT INTERSECTION OF HERITAGE GROVE ROAD AND ONE IN US, 180 3, UH, THE PROPERTY DOES HAVE SIGNIFICANT TREE COVER ON THE NORTHERN PART OF THE PROJECT, UH, AND THOSE TREES WILL NEED TO BE MITIGATED WITH ANY SITE DEVELOPMENT PLANS.

UH, THAT MASS TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN DOES CALL OUT HERITAGE GROVE ROAD AS A COLLECTOR ROAD WITH 74 FOOT RIGHT AWAY.

UM, CURRENTLY AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, THAT HERITAGE GROVE ROAD IS NOT CONSTRUCTED TO ITS, UH, COMPLETE BUILD-OUT AT THIS TIME.

SO THE SURROUNDING AREA INCLUDES BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES THESE ZONING CHANGE REQUESTS FOR SINGLE FAMILY COMPACT AND SINGLE FAMILY.

URBAN USE COMPONENTS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADJACENT SUBDIVISIONS IN THE AREA.

HOWEVER, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP HAS DESIGNATED THIS AS EMPLOYMENT CENTER, AS I MENTIONED, UH, WHICH IS INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE A VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL USES APPROVAL OF THIS REQUESTED ZONING CHANGE TO SINGLE FAMILY COMPACT AND SINGLE FAMILY, URBAN IS CONTINGENT ON THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CASE, AND

[01:05:01]

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

THANK YOU, SIR.

WE HAVE AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION.

I HOPE I HAVE A, DO YOU HAVE A THUMB DRIVE? I BELIEVE OR NOT? I WAS ON VACATION FOUR HOURS AGO, SO THAT'S MY APOLOGY HERE.

NOT GETTING IT TO YOU IN TIME EARLIER.

HOPEFULLY WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO JUST PLUG IN A THUMB DRIVE, WALK THROUGH THIS WITH Y'ALL AND I PROMISE I'LL BE BRIEF THIS EVENING.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE FOR THE RECORD, PETER RADICCHIO AT STC PLANNING.

JUST WANT TO MAKE A BRIEF PRESENTATION FOR YOU ALL THIS EVENING ON THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, UH, FOR WHAT WE'RE REFERRING TO AS HERITAGE GROVE, IT'S 500 HERITAGE GROVE HERE THIS EVENING ON BEHALF OF GIDEON HOMES, UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE 44 ACRE TRACT.

THIS PIECE OF LAND I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN BEFORE YOU ON THIS PIECE, THE PIECE NEXT TO IT, THIS IS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE THAT WE JUST KIND OF GO AROUND A LOT ON.

UM, BUT JUST TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS THE THIRD PROPERTY WEST FROM 180 3.

SO WE ARE QUITE A WAYS OFF THE MAJOR REGIONAL ARTERIAL.

YOU'VE HEARD MANY TIMES BEFORE ABOUT THE CHALLENGES ON HERITAGE GROVE ROAD CONDITION AND ITS ULTIMATE, UM, CONDITION HERE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT ON BOTH THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, TO CHANGE THE PROPERTY FROM AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER, AS WELL AS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY OR ACTUALLY TO ZONE THE PROPERTY FOR SINGLE FAMILY, URBAN SINGLE FAMILY CONTACT, COMPACT RESIDENTIAL, THE AERIAL SHOWS YOU THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND IT SHOWS YOU, UM, CURRENTLY THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WEST FOR VARS IS RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS TO THE SOUTH WHERE RESIDENTIAL, THE SUBJECT TRACT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN ETJ.

AND IT KIND OF HAS THIS UNIQUE FUTURE ANNEXATION PER DA, DESIGNATED TO WHAT PREPARING FOR TONIGHT.

I WENT BACK AND DID SOME HISTORY AND REVIEW, AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK TO TOO MUCH WHAT YOU GUYS MADE DECISIONS ON IT.

ALMOST LIKE TO HEAR YOU GUYS' THOUGHTS AND TAKE ON IT.

BUT THIS CASE, THIS PROPERTY WAS BEFORE YOU ON JANUARY 14TH, UM, FOR AN INDUSTRIAL USE.

AND DURING THAT, I WENT BACK AND READ THE MEETING MINUTES AND REVIEWED THE, THE INFORMATION THAT'S AVAILABLE.

AND THAT NIGHT YOU HAD 12 INDIVIDUALS IN NATURE SPEAK AGAINST THIS BEING A NON-RESIDENTIAL INDUSTRIAL USE.

SO THEN BASED ON THAT, THE PROPERTY OWNER OFFICIALLY, THEY ASKED FOR A POSTPONEMENT THAT EVENING AND OFFICIALLY WITHDREW THE REQUEST ON JANUARY 28TH, MOVING FORWARD, THEY TOOK SOLICITATIONS, UM, FOR A LESS INTENSE DEVELOPMENT ON THAT PROPERTY.

AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE BRINGING BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.

SO WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON IS A, UM, CONVERSION OF THE PROPERTY TO NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL, CONSISTENT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL, THE HIDDEN OAKS, RESIDENTIAL NEXT TO US, AS WELL AS A RESERVE AT NORTH FORK SOUTH OF US.

AND THEN ALSO REZONING THE PROPERTY, UM, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS, TWO DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICTS.

WHAT WE'VE ACTUALLY LOOKED AT HERE IS A SINGLE FAMILY COMPACT TO THE SOUTH, CONSISTENT WITH HAVEN OAKS TO OUR WEST, AS WELL AS PRETTY MUCH CONSISTENT WITH THE RESERVE AT NORTH FORK TO THE SOUTH.

AND THEN THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH WHERE WE HAVE MORE TREE COVERAGE, LARGER, LOTS OF 60 FOOT, LOTS THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT ALL UP IN SUMMARY.

WHAT WE FEEL IS LIKE I SAID, LIKE I SAID, IN MY OPENING, THIS HAS BEEN A PIECE OF PROPERTY IN AN AREA THAT WE'VE COME BEFORE YOU MANY TIMES

[01:10:01]

ON.

AND WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE VISION? AND AS WE'VE SEEN, AND YOU CAN SEE IN THAT ARIEL, THE AREA CONTINUES TO TRANSITION TO RESIDENTIAL.

AND WHAT WE'RE SEEKING TO DO IS BRING IN A COMPLIMENTARY PIECE THAT FITS THE LOOK IN THE FIELD OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS AS THEY WERE DEVELOPING, I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE.

YOU CAN, SIR, THANK YOU.

THIS POINT WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UM, WE HAD ONE PERSON SUBMIT A, AN ITEM ONLINE, TIM SCHNEIDER AND 1100 OAK GROVE ROAD WAS AGAINST THE SIDE ITEM.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANYBODY TO SIGN UP.

DID ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE OF THEM? IF NOT, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION.

UM, ONE THING I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THIS, UH, BEFORE WE START IS I FEEL LIKE WE'VE, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE KIND OF HOLDING THE PROPERTY OWNERS HERE, HOSTAGE.

I THINK WE'VE HAD SEVERAL CASES HERE ABOUT THIS LAND.

UM, I BELIEVE LAST TIME THEY WERE GOING TO BRING IN A, UH, WAS IT, UH, A MULCH COMPANY AND THEY WERE DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE THIS HUGE INDUSTRIAL USE WITH ALL THIS NOISE AND THE DUST AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

AND I THINK THAT'S WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY EVERYONE WAS AGAINST IT.

UM, AND THEN, AND AGAIN, WE HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH HERITAGE GROVE ROAD HERE.

UM, I THINK FOR EVERY, THE FIRST CASES WE, I HEARD ON PLANNING AND ZONING, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERITAGE GROVE ROAD AND GETTING THIS FIXED UP.

IT'S NOT THE, UM, PROPERTY OWNER THAT IT HAS TO DO THAT THAT'S THE CITY THAT BUILDS THE ROAD, CORRECT ON HERITAGE GROVE.

SO HERITAGE GROVE ROAD IS ON OUR TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN.

SO THE DEVELOPER IS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY TOWARDS THE EVENTUAL IMPROVEMENTS AND DONATE RIGHT AWAY.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

UM, AND I AM GLAD TO SEE THEM IN WITH LOTS TO 50 TO 60 FEET.

UM, THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE ON THIS IS TAKING WHAT'S DESIGNATED A PRIMARY EMPLOYMENT CENTER.

DO IT SHOULD BE COMMERCIAL, NOT NECESSARILY INDUSTRIAL WHERE THEY'RE GRINDING UP WOOD, BUT, UH, AND CHANGING IT TO SINGLE FAMILY.

WE'RE EVENTUALLY GOING TO RUN LOW ON LAND.

AND WHERE DO YOU PUT THE COMMERCIAL APP WOULD THAT I'LL CONCEDE TO MR. HINES.

I'M SORRY.

OF COURSE.

NO, OF COURSE.

UM, NOW I, HERE'S WHAT I WILL SAY ABOUT THIS CASE BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN DEALING, UH, COMMISSIONER COSGROVE AND I AT LEAST HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SINCE, BEFORE WHATEVER THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS TO THE EAST OF THIS ONE GOT ZONED.

FINALLY, WE WANT TO MAKE IT RESIDENTIAL.

I GUESS WHAT THIS MEANS IS WE JUST GOT THIS AREA OF TOWN WRONG ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO WHEN WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT MAKING IT INDUSTRIAL, LIKE, AND THAT HAPPENS, OKAY, SO IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT, THAT'S FINE.

WE APPROVE THIS.

LET'S SAY THIS COMP PLAN, WE IMPROVE THE ZONING WE MOVE ON RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO, THIS IS THE PROPERTY WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT EARLIER.

THIS IS A EMPLOYMENT CENTER WHO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE.

I DON'T THINK THEY'LL TELL US AT THIS POINT, BUT WHEN THAT COMES IN, ANYBODY WHO SITS UP HERE ON THIS DYESS AND VOTES FOR THIS ZONING CHANGE HAD BETTER VOTE FOR THAT ZONING CHANGE AS WELL.

OR WE WILL BE GOING THROUGH THIS EXACT SAME PROCESS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

YOU HAVE TO BE SAYING THAT IF YOU'RE OKAY IN THIS EMPLOYMENT AREA, TO TURN THIS INTO RESIDENTIAL, THAT YOU HAVE TO BE OKAY TO AT SOME POINT TO SAY DIRECTLY NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL, THE EMPLOYMENT STUFF CAN GO, RIGHT? BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON WOULD CAUSE ROVER COMMISSIONER COSGROVE.

AND I WERE DEALING WITH THIS, YOU KNOW, THREE YEARS AGO, FOUR YEARS AGO, WHENEVER THAT WAS, I MEAN, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, WE, WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THE NEIGHBORHOOD SHOWS UP AND SAYS, WELL, NOW WE'VE GOT HOUSES RIGHT HERE.

SO WE CAN'T HAVE AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER AFTER WE'VE JUST SAID THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER NEXT TO IT.

RIGHT? SO THERE WILL COME A POINT WHERE IT STOPS BEING RESIDENTIAL AND IT STARTS BEING SOMETHING ELSE.

AND IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE RESIDENTIAL, YOU HAVE TO AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT, UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO IT COULD BE COMMERCIAL.

YOU DON'T GET TO COME UP HERE LATER AND GO, WELL, NOW THAT, THAT ONE'S RESIDENTIAL, YOU CAN'T PUT THE COMMERCIAL IN.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT.

MR. HAMPTON.

QUESTION FOR APPLICANT.

UH, YOU MENTIONING THE, WHAT SIZE, LOTS ARE THE, UH, COMPACT.

THOSE ARE THE FIFTIES.

IS THAT THERE'S, THERE'S NO POTENTIAL LAYOUT FOR STREETS OR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT IN TIME FOR US TO LOOK AT NEEDLESS TO SAY PRIVATELY, INTERNALLY, WE'VE CONDUCTED THOSE ANALYSIS TO ENSURE THAT IT FINANCIALLY MAKES SENSE TO PURSUE THE PROPERTY, BUT NOTHING'S BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.

THAT'S ALL I GOT COMMISSIONER CARPENTER.

THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF

[01:15:01]

CAUSE ON THIS PIECE, WE'RE NOT SEEKING A PUD, WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT ZONING.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF CLEAN AND SIMPLE WITH IF YOU WILL, I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. COSBY, ODDLY ENOUGH, MR. RADICCHIO.

I'M GOOD.

OH, GOOD.

SO YOU'RE JUST GOING BACK TO THAT.

I'M GOOD.

ALL RIGHT.

SO THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

UM, REAL QUICK, DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE TWO SEPARATE ACTION? SO THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CASE, AND THEN THE SECOND WOULD BE FOR THE ZONING CASE, EVERY TWO VOTES, I MAKE A USE THEM SEPARATELY.

MRS. GRIFFIN, WOULD YOU LIKE IT THAT WAY? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, AMENDMENT AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP UPDATE.

OH SECOND.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER COSGROVE.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HEINZ.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, ALL THOSE OPPOSED PASSES 41, MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ZONING AS STATED.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HEINZ.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

[13. Discuss and consider action regarding Subdivision Case 21-PP-001 to approve the Edgewood Preliminary Plat on four parcels of land approximately 140.43 acres ± in size, more particularly described by Williamson County Central Appraisal District R031736, R032138, R496874, and R496876; generally located to the southeast of the intersection of RM 2243 and CR 175 in Leander, Williamson County, Texas. Staff Presentation Applicant Presentation Discussion Consider Action]

MOVE ON TO ITEM.

NUMBER 13, DISCUSSING CONSIDER ACTION REGARDING SUBDIVISION CASE 21 TO APPROVE THE EDGEWOOD PRELIMINARY PLAT ON FOUR PARCELS OF LAND, APPROXIMATELY 140.4, THREE ACRES IN SIZE AND GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST INTERSECTION OF RM 2243 AND COUNTY ROAD 1 75 AND LEANDRA WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS STAFF PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, THIS REQUEST IS THE SECOND STEP IN THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS PURSUANT TO SECTION 2, 1 2 0.005 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE APPROVAL BY MUNICIPALITY IS REQUIRED.

SO IT'S A PRELIMINARY PLAT SATISFIES THE APPLICABLE REGULATIONS WITHOUT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES.

UH, THIS PRE PRELIMINARY PLAT INCLUDES 378 SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL LOTS, 20 HOA LANDSCAPE, LOTS, ONE LIFT STATION, LOT IN ONE AMENITY CENTER.

A LOT.

THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES REMOVING 1 27 INCH LIVE OAK HERITAGE TREE DUE TO UTILITY LOCATIONS.

THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES A THREE TO ONE REPLACEMENT RATIO, AS WELL AS A REMOVAL FEE IN THE AMOUNT OF $300 PER INCH.

AND THIS WOULD BE THE 1695 AND RED WOULD BE THE TREE THAT IS BEING REMOVED AND JUST AS A KIND OF AN OVERVIEW AND THEN MORE OF A CLOSEUP.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE, UM, THE TREE LIST RIGHT THERE AND THE UTILITY IS THE REASONING FOR REMOVAL ON THAT.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THIS CASE.

AND THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS, MR. CHAIRMAN, BEFORE MR. HUNT LEAVES.

CAN I ASK HIM TO CLARIFY SOME OF THE VISUALS HERE? JUST CAUSE I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED AT WHAT I'M LOOKING AT, IS THAT ALL RIGHT? OKAY.

SO THE, ON THE, NOW WE DON'T HAVE THESE LITTLE ZOOMED IN ONES THAT YOU HAVE, BUT LOOKING AT THE, UH, LOOKING LIKE PAGE OR SHEET 19 ON OUR DOCUMENT, THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ONE WITH ALL OF THE TREE REMOVAL AND PROTECTION ON IT.

UM, AND THAT'S FOR ALL OF THE TREE TYPES.

SO NOT JUST HERITAGE, THAT INCLUDES ALL SIGNIFICANT TREES AS WELL, BUT THERE'S A, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ.

THIS IS A SEPARATE HERITAGE TREE EXHIBIT.

IF YOU GO TO SHEET 2121.

ALL RIGHT, LET ME, MAYBE I JUST MISSED IT THOUGH.

SHE, 21 WILL SHOW THAT, UH, TRACY.

ALL RIGHT.

SO LOOKING AT SHEET 21, THEN ALL OF THE GREEN CIRCLED CROSSHATCHED, WHERE'S THE LEGEND FOR THAT SAVED HERITAGE STREET.

THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO SIGNIFICANT.

REMOVED HERITAGE TREE.

OKAY, SO LET'S MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION COMMISSIONER CARLSBERG.

MR. CARPENTER.

I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ON US, MR. HAMPTON IRRIGATION FEE FOR SIGNIFICANT TREES AND HERITAGE TREES.

THOSE ARE THE SAME.

SO THERE, THERE IS A MITIGATION FEE OR A TREE REMOVAL FEE FOR HERITAGE TREES

[01:20:01]

AND THAT'S THE $300 COMMISSIONER HINES.
