[10. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider action regarding Comprehensive Plan Case 22-CPA-003 to amend Transportation Master Plan to change the classification of CR 267 between Kauffman Loop and Bar W Ranch Blvd from an arterial class roadway to a collector class roadway, Leander, Williamson County, Texas. Discuss and consider action regarding Comprehensive Plan Case 22-CPA-003 as described above. Staff Presentation Applicant Presentation Open Public Hearing Close Public Hearing Discussion Consider Action]
ITEM 10 CONDUCT, A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ACTION REGARDING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CASE TWO, TWO DASH CPA DASH 0 0 3.TO AMEND THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN TO CHANGE THE CLASSIFICATION OF CR 2 67 BETWEEN KAUFFMAN LOOP AND BAR W RANCH BOULEVARD FROM AN ARTERIAL CLASS ROADWAY TO A COLLECTIVE CLASS ROADWAY, LEANDER WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS STAFF PRESENTATION, MR. AUSTIN EVENING COMMISSIONERS MICHAEL JANESKY PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
SO THIS REQUEST IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROCESS.
UH, THE CITY IS INITIATING THIS AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CHANGE THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN AND RECLASSIFY COUNTY ROAD 2 67, LOCATED BETWEEN KAUFMAN LOOP AND, UH, LARKSPUR BOULEVARD SLASH UH, BARDELL VIEW BOULEVARD.
UH, AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE FROM AN ARTERIAL CLASS ROADWAY TO A COLLECTOR CLASS ROADWAY.
SO THEY, TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN 2021.
IT IDENTIFIED COUNTY ROAD 2 67 AS AN ARTERIAL CLASS, A ROADWAY WITH A HUNDRED FEET OF RIGHT OF WAY.
UH, THE BAR W WEST SUBDIVISION CONCEPT PLAN AND PRELIMINARY PLATS, AS WELL AS THE, UH, ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE, UH, WEST, UM, WERE EITHER ALREADY PLANTED UNDER CONCEPT PLAN OR PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW, UM, PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN.
UM, SO NOW IT WOULD BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO ACQUIRE THE RIGHT OF WAY.
UM, BUT THEN, UH, THE CITY HAS ALSO SEEN, UM, THE NEED TO RECLASSIFY THIS FROM, UH, THE ARTERIAL CLASS ROADWAY.
SO IN YOUR PACKET, AND I THINK IN THIS, YEAH, HERE WE GO.
UM, WE HAVE THE EXHIBITS OF AN ARTERIAL VERSUS, UM, WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED, THE NON-RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR.
UH, SO THE CITY MAILED NOTIFICATIONS TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THIS CHANGE, UM, ARTERIALS ARE INTENDED TO CARRY LARGE VOLUMES OF TRAFFIC AND PROVIDE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN, UH, MAJOR AREAS OF THE CITY.
IN THIS CASE COUNTY ROAD, 2 67 ONLY EXTENDS DOWN, UH, BETWEEN KAUFMAN LOOP, UH, TO LARKSPUR SLASH BAR W UH, ESSENTIALLY IT'S A, A DEAD END RATHER THAN A MAJOR CONNECTOR ROADWAY.
UM, BUT HOWEVER, DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT, UH, SURROUNDING THIS ROADWAY, THE CITY STILL SEES THE NEED FOR COUNTY ROAD 2, 6, 7 TO BE IMPROVED TO ECLECTIC CLASS ROADWAY, UH, AT SOME POINT, UM, BASED ON THE PROJECTED TRAFFIC VOLUME.
UM, SO THIS RECLASSIFICATION OF COUNTY ROAD 2 67 TO A COLLECTOR
[00:05:01]
WOULD MEET THE INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN ADDITION TO THE CARS THAT HAVE NOW WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? IF NOT, UM, MR. MARK ALEXANDER, DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK, SIR? I'LL TALK TO YOU.
I'M AFTER THAT, I KNOW YOU'RE THE GUY I NEED TO TALK TO YOU SO THAT YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS, MR. PHIL KING, IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, OR YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
MY NAME IS PHIL KING, OUR PROPERTY OWNER ALONG COUNTY ROAD 2 6 7, ADDRESS 10 30, IN FACT, THE LAST PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS AS ANNEX TO FIVE YEARS AGO, FIVE AND A HALF YEARS AGO NOW.
AND I'M RIGHT NEXT TO THE LARKSBURG DEVELOPMENT AND ON THAT ROAD.
UH, AND I'M VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THIS CHANGE TO COLLECT ROADWAY INSTEAD OF ARTERIAL, UH, BECAUSE THAT IS LESS PROPERTY ON MY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE CONFISCATING TO MAKE THAT ROADWAY THAT WAY.
AND I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, ASK A QUESTION OF, OF THIS COMM COMMITTEE.
UM, I DON'T THINK IT'S ON THE BOOKS AS YET AS A DATE, BUT I'D HAVE TALKED TO THE COUNTY ENGINEER BECAUSE THAT ROADWAY THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FROM KAUFMAN LOOP DOWN TO MY PROPERTY IS VANDER CITY LIMITS PASS MY PROPERTY ON DOWN TO LARKSPUR PARK BOULEVARD IS COUNTY ROADWAY, AND I'M GUESSING AND HOPING AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CITY HAS ALREADY STARTED CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNTY ABOUT IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT ROADWAY, BECAUSE IT IS IN TERRIBLE SHAPE BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON AT LARKSPUR.
AND NOW THAT LARKSPUR HAS OPENED THEIR LARKSPUR PARK BOULEVARD ONTO THE COUNTY ROAD, THE TRAFFIC HAS INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY ALONG THERE.
AND ALONG WITH THAT SEMEN TRUCKS AND CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS AND OTHER TRAFFIC, NOW IT'S CREATING PROBLEMS WITH THE ROADWAY.
SO I HOPE THAT THE CITY WILL WORK WITH THE COUNTY ON SCHEDULING A TIME AND NOT PUTTING OFF TOO FAR IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT ROADWAY.
I GUESS THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
UM, MR. JEFF GUERRERO, MR. GUERRERO, IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
THREE MINUTES, YOU KNOW, THE DRILL SO MUCH, UH, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
MY NAME IS JEFF GUERRERO, UH, 55 0 1 WEST WILLIAM CANNON, AUSTIN, TEXAS, 77 49.
UH, I ON THE CARD, I INDICATED THAT I WAS AGAINST THE, UH, THE, UM, UH, TH THIS AMENDMENT, BUT I GUESS TECHNICALLY I'M AGAINST THE, THE COLLECTOR, UH, UH, SIZE I WOULD, I WAS GOING TO SEE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO CONSIDER A LESSER DESIGNATION OF A RURAL STREET.
AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS, UH, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE BAR W RANCH BOULEVARD.
I BOUGHT A B RANCH DEVELOPMENT.
UH, THERE ARE SEVERAL ROADWAY NETWORKS, UH, COLLECTOR ROADWAYS WITHIN THAT SUBDIVISION THAT I KNOW, I'M NOT SURE IF THEY WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN THE CITY MADE THEIR, UM, THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, UH, COMMIT IT'S TO THE ARTERIAL ROADWAY DESIGNATION FOR 2 67 IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND I WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO LEAVE THAT ROADWAY, UH, AS A, UM, AS A RURAL STREET THAT DOES EVENTUALLY GET IMPROVED TO A 50 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY, AND AS OPPOSED TO A 100 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY.
UH, AND PART BECAUSE OF THE, THE, THE, THE NUMBER OF REMAINING PROPERTIES TO BE DEVELOPED ON THAT ROADWAY ARE VERY LIMITED.
AND WITH AN ROADWAY NETWORK THAT BARNABY RANCHES EITHER, UM, UH, APPROVED TO THIS POINT, UH, HAS FILED, OR IS IN DESIGN.
I FEEL, UH, I BELIEVE THAT THAT, UM, THAT ROADWAY NETWORK WOULD SERVE AS A, UM, AS, AS A VERY ADEQUATE COLLECTOR IN SUBSTITUTION OF THE 2 67 EXPANSION TO A HUNDRED FOOT COLLECTOR.
UH, ADDITIONALLY I THINK A PRECEDENT HAS BEEN KIND OF ESTABLISHED BY THE, UM, UH, THE BONNET, UH, TRACT SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS KIND OF THE NORTHERN MOST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF 2 67.
AND, UM, AND I GUESS IT'S, UH, EQUINE ROAD, UH, THAT WAS RECENTLY,
[00:10:01]
UH, I BELIEVE IT'S A CITY PLAT, WHICH IS, UM, OUR CITY LIMITS, WHICH IS A 50 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY AT THAT INTERSECTION ALREADY, IF THAT, UM, ROADWAY, WIDTH, WHERE TO ALLOW IT TO BE CONTINUED TO THE SOUTH, TO THIS LOCKS LARKSPUR, I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE, UH, POSSIBLE, POTENTIALLY MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS AREA.AND, UH, THAT'S THE EXTENT OF MY COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? IF NOT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE'LL OPEN DISCUSSION, WE'LL BEGIN WITH THE WEARY VICE CHAIR.
UM, SO, SO JUST SO I'M CLEAR, AND SO EVERYONE'S CLEAR.
SO IF WE DECIDED TO KEEP THIS AS AN ARTERIAL, WHEN THE CITY GOES IN TO PURCHASE THE LAND, THEY USE EMINENT DOMAIN TO DO SO, CORRECT.
ROSS, DO YOU WANT TO COME ANSWER THAT QUESTION? ROS CITY ENGINEER, WHEN WE GO INTO ACQUIRE RIGHT AWAY, WE DO IT EAT.
ONE IS A CAN'T THINK OF THE WORD.
IT'S A VOLUNTARY PROCESS WHERE WE COME IN, WE NEGOTIATE WITH THEM.
WE DETERMINE A PRICE WHEN WE BUY THE PROPERTY.
IF THAT BREAKS DOWN THAT WE GO TO A EMINENT DOMAIN AND WE DO CONDEMNATION.
BUT, BUT IF WE, IF WE KEEP IT AS AN ARTERIAL AND THE LAND OWNER DOESN'T WANT TO SELL US, THEN EVENTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO THAT STAGE.
WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE FORCING OURSELVES INTO THAT POSITION WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE TO USE EMINENT DOMAIN TO DO THAT.
UH, AND THEN, SO MY NEXT QUESTION, AND MAYBE THIS FREE FOR YOU ROSS OR FOR, FOR THE PLANNING STAFF, BUT WITH THE NON-RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE PREVIOUS GENTLEMAN HAD JUST TALKED TO, YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A A HUNDRED FOOT RIGHT OF WAY, BUT HERE ON THE PAPER, I SEE 50 FOOT CURB TO CURB AND, UM, 74 FOOT, RIGHT OF WAY, I GUESS THAT'S SOME IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THE SIDE THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, RIGHT? 74 FOOT RIGHT AWAY FOR A COLLECTOR STREET, EITHER A NON-RESIDENTIAL OR RESIDENTIAL, EITHER ONE.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW WE CONFIGURE THE LANES.
THAT'S IT? COMMISSIONER MAY I'M GOOD.
HOW MUCH RIGHT-AWAY DO WE CURRENTLY OWN THERE AT THIS POINT IN TIME? I MEAN, IF WE WERE DOING THE NON-RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR, DO WE NEED TO PURCHASE MORE RIGHT AWAY? YES, WE DID IT.
WE HAVE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 30 AND 60 FOOT OF RIGHT AWAY ALONG THAT LENGTH OF ROAD IT'S INDETERMINATE.
I CAN ALL HAVE A PRECISE SENSE FOR THAT.
THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO NEED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 45 AND 15 FEET OF RIGHT AWAY.
BASICALLY, JUST TO PIN THIS, DEPENDING ON WHAT WE DECIDE HERE, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
NOW, IF WE KEPT THAT AS A RURAL STREET, THEN WHAT WE NEED TO PURCHASE ANY ADDITIONAL RIGHT AWAY.
NO, BUT IT WILL NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT WE'RE PREDICTING TO JANUARY AS LONG THERE.
I CHECKED WITH OUR TMP MANAGER AND WE NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST THREE LANES IN ORDER TO HANDLE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S PROJECTED.
BECAUSE THAT WAS MY CONCERN WITH RE REDUCING FROM ARTERIAL TO BEGIN WITH IS BEING ABLE TO SUPPORT THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT WE PROJECTED TO HAVE IN THERE CONSIDERING IT'S RESIDENTIAL.
BUT IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT THIS WILL STILL MEET THAT NEED AND GO IN ANY LESS, A LESSER CLASSIFICATION WON'T THEN I'M GOOD.
UM, SINCE THAT WAS MY QUESTION, I HAVE NONE.
I WILL, UH, LISTEN TO A MOTION.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE A MOTION BY THE VICE CHAIR TO APPROVE I'LL.
I HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CARPENTER, ALL IN FAVOR.
OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU, MICHAEL CHASKA PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
SO THIS REQUEST IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS, AS WELL AS THE ZONING PROCESS.
SO THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATED LAND USE FROM A MULTI-USE CORRIDOR TO A NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS REQUEST WOULD ONLY AFFECT THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THAT FRONTS BAGHDAD, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, UH, ON THIS MAP, THIS PORTION RIGHT HERE, UH, TO ALLOW FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE SUBDIVISION TO BE DEVELOPED AS SINGLE FAMILY, RURAL A PORTION OF THE AREA FRONTING NORTH BAGHDAD, IT IS PROPOSED TO REMAIN AS MULTI-USE CORRIDOR.
UH, THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT ALSO INCLUDES A REQUEST TO AMEND THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN TO RECLASSIFY A LIVE OAK ROAD FROM A RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR CLASS ROADWAY TO A RESIDENTIAL STREET.
AND THAT IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
UH, THE ZONING CHANGE REQUEST INCLUDES PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE, UH, DESIGNATION, UH, IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE, UH, LARGE LOT RESIDENTIAL AND, UH, LOCAL OFFICE ALONG BAGHDAD AS MENTIONED EARLIER.
UH, SO APPROXIMATELY 293 ACRES OF RESIDENTIAL AND 14 ACRES OF LOCAL OFFICE, UH, THE CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATES THE AREA ALONG BAGHDAD AS A MULTI-USE CORRIDOR, WHICH LIMITS RESIDENTIAL TO 40% OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, UH, WITHIN THAT MULTI-USE CORRIDOR.
UH, THE RESIDENTIAL WITHIN THE MULTI-USE CORRIDOR SHOULD ALSO BE SECONDARY TO COMMERCIAL, UH, AND TYPICALLY MEDIUM DENSITY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL, UH, SUCH AS SINGLE FAMILY, UH, TOWNHOME, COTTAGE HOUSING, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UH, THE SINGLE FAMILY WORLD ZONING WOULD NOT BE A PERMITTED LAND USE TYPE IN THE MULTI-USE CORRIDOR, WHICH IS WHY THEY'RE REQUESTING THAT CHANGE.
UH, THE APPLICANT IS ALSO REQUESTING, UH, THE CHANGE TO, UH, TO THE, UM, I'M SORRY, UH, LIVE OAK ROAD, UM, IN ORDER TO HAVE THE, UH, RESIDENTIAL LOTS BE ABLE TO FRONT THAT ROAD, UH, UH, WITH WORKING WITH STAFF, UM, THE APPLICANT HAS CHANGED THEIR ORIGINAL PLAN, UM, FROM PROPOSING 1100, UH, ROUGHLY HOUSING UNITS, UH, AND NO COMMERCIAL TO, UH, THE LARGE LOT, UH, SUBDIVISION WITH COMMERCIAL.
WE DON'T HAVE A NUMBER FOR THE PROJECTED, UH, SINGLE FAMILY, RURAL NUMBERS THOUGH.
[00:20:03]
SORRY, I THOUGHT WE HAD A, SO IN YOUR PACKET, YOU WILL HAVE THE EXAMPLE OF THE RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR VERSUS THE RESIDENTIAL STREET SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS CASE.UM, SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT INCLUDES RECLASSIFYING LIVE OAK ROAD TO THAT RESIDENTIAL STREET.
THE CHANGE WOULD REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE ROADWAY AND ALLOW FOR THE HOMES TO FRONT ONTO THAT ROADWAY.
AND, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT MEETING WITH STAFF WAS HELD, UH, APRIL 5TH, 2021, AS MENTIONED IT PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED, UH, MULTIPLE LOTS, NO COMMERCIAL.
NOW IT INCLUDES LARGE LOTS WITH COMMERCIAL.
A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WAS HELD IN APRIL 21ST, 2022 AT THE MASON HOMESTEAD.
AND YOU CAN SEE ATTACHMENT NINE FOR MORE DETAILS.
UM, SO AS A REMINDER, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS REQUIRED TO BE APPROVED BEFORE THE ZONING REQUEST MAY BE APPROVED.
IF THE AMENDMENT IS NOT APPROVED, THEN THE APPLICANT WILL NEED TO UPDATE THE ZONING CHANGE, UH, TO RE REQUEST TO COMPLY WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT INCLUDES, UH, SORRY, I'M RECLASSIFYING LIVE OAK ROAD.
UM, THE ADJACENT SUBDIVISION LEANDRA STATES RECENTLY HAD, UH, APPROVED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, UM, WHICH WOULD ALSO INCLUDED RECLASSIFYING LIVE OAK ROAD, UH, FROM A RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR, UH, TO A RESIDENTIAL STREET.
AND STAFF AGREES THAT THIS PROPOSED RECLASSIFICATION IS APPROPRIATE CONSIDERING THE CURRENT PROPERTY LINES, THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY ALIGNMENTS AND THE PROPOSED LAND USES, UH, THIS PROPOSED SUBDIVISION ZONING IS SIMILAR TO THE SURROUNDING SUBDIVISIONS.
IF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT IS APPROVED, THEN THE PROPOSED LAND USE TYPE WOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH BOTH THE EXISTING LAND USES AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
UH, THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROPOSING THE 14 ACRES OF LOCAL OFFICE, WHICH WOULD BE COMPLIANT WITH THE CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
AND THE LOCAL OFFICE USE COMPONENT IS INTENDED TO HELP PROVIDE FOR LAND USE TRANSITIONS FROM COMMERCIAL OR FROM ARTERIAL STREETS TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
UH, THE LOCAL OFFICE ALSO ALLOWS DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL SCALE LIMITED IMPACT OFFICE USES OR SIMILAR USES, WHICH MAY BE LOCATED ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.
AND THERE'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE HAVE AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION.
UM, WELL AGAIN, RICH ENTITLEMENT MANAGER FOR A FOUR STAR.
SO DID I GO BY IT? YEAH, WHERE'S THIS? OH, THERE.
SO THANK YOU, MICHAEL, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
UH, MUCH OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY HE COVERED.
SO I'LL JUST GO FORWARD IN OUR SLIDES.
UM, THIS HERE IS OUR ACTUAL CON PLAN, AS MICHAEL, UH, MENTIONED WE'VE, UH, COME UP WITH A PLAN.
THIS IS APPROXIMATELY, OR IS 174, UH, ACRE AND, UH, ACRE PLUS LOTS.
YOU CAN SEE THE, UH, W UH, MULTI-USE CORRIDOR IN QUESTION, WHICH WE'RE ASKING TO BE AMENDED, UH, WHICH MICHAEL TOLD YOU ABOUT.
SO THE REASON WE'VE COME TO THIS IS IN, UH, TALKING WITH THE CITY.
WE, UH, WE'RE APPRISED OF THE, UH, UH, WATER VARIABILITY UP THERE.
AND, UH, WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PLAN AND, UH, TAKING THIS SECTION OUT OF THE MULTI-USE CORRIDOR AND MAKING IT A BIGGER RESIDENTIAL LOTS WILL BE A LOT LESS STRAIN ON THE WATER, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE.
UM, I THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND WE'LL BE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WITH THAT.
WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, SEEING NONE WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION VICE CHAIRMAN? SO I REALLY LIKED THAT THE APPLICANT HAS WORKED WITH CITY STAFF TO MAKE THIS A, UM, A MORE AMICABLE PRODUCT, GIVEN SOME WATER CONSTRAINTS AND SOME OTHER, OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON.
UH, I, I DO HAVE SLIGHT HARPER AND NOT, NOT ENOUGH TO KIND OF SWAY ME, UM, TO, UH, TO A NOVO, BUT ON, UH, REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL, BUT GIVEN WHERE IT'S AT AND OUR RESIDENCY
[00:25:01]
IS SO FAR OUT IT'S RIGHT BY WHICH RANCH, WHICH IS ALSO DOING THE SAME THING.UH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
UH, ONE, ONE QUESTION I DO HAVE FOR STAFF THOUGH, I MEAN, MR.
WHY, WHY THEN W DO THEY NEED TO REAPPLY FOR THAT? WHY DOESN'T THAT COVER IT? AND THAT THE APPLICANT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT AND WE, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DISCUSS IT.
UM, SO THE PREVIOUS CASE WAS ONLY FOR, UM, LIVE OAK FROM THIS PROPERTY, UH, WESTWARD.
UM, SO THE LAST ONE, THEY WEREN'T THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT WASN'T FOR THE ENTIRE STREET.
IT WAS ONLY FOR WHERE IT MEETS THEIR PROPERTY.
AND THEN CONTINUED, I THINK AT THE TIME TO SOLVE AND TRACK HAD A DIFFERENT DESIGN WHERE THEY WERE STILL DOING LIVE OAK.
UM, SO WE WERE GOING DOWN A DIFFERENT PATH AND NOW THEY'VE CHANGED THE PATH.
THAT'S IT, COMMISSIONER MAY, I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT CHANGING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
UH, WE, WE JUST ADOPTED IT, UH, THE STREET RECONFIGURATION, NO PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT, UH, THE DELIMITING OF COMMERCIAL, THAT'S TAKING OUT TWO THIRDS OF THE COMMERCIAL.
THAT THAT'S PRETTY BIG ISSUE WITH ME, COMMISSIONER CARPENTER, I GUESS.
I REALLY DON'T SEE THE BIG THING ON DROPPING THE COMMERCIAL ASPECT OF IT CONSIDERING IT'S AT AND WHAT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO IT.
I'LL, UH, I'LL ECHO, UM, THE VICE CHAIR AND, UH, COMMISSIONER, MAY I HAVE A, I GOT TO SWALLOW REAL HARD TO, UM, REDUCE THAT COMMERCIAL SECTION BY, BY AS MUCH AS, AS WE'RE BEING ASKED TO.
UM, BUT IF IT'S THE TRADE OFF FOR THE MUCH LOWER DENSITY OF HOUSING, UM, FROM THE ORIGINAL PRESENTATION, I, I THINK I CAN PROBABLY GET ON BOARD WITH THAT SAID, THIS IS A NATIONAL ITEM.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CARPENTER.
DO I HAVE A SECOND, A SECOND? I HAVE A SECOND BY VICE CHAIR, MAN.
OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES THREE, ONE COMMISSIONER.
MAY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
[13. Discuss and consider action on Tree Removal Case 22-TRP-003 regarding removal of Significant Trees associated with the Maple Ranch Apartment Site Development Project generally located at the southwest corner of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Palmera Ridge Boulevard, Leander, Williamson County, Texas. Staff Presentation Applicant Presentation Discussion Consider Action]
THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 13, REGULAR AGENDA DISCUSSING CONSIDER ACTION ON TREE REMOVAL CASE 22 DASH TRP DASH 0 0 3, REGARDING REMOVAL OF SIGNIFICANT TREES ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAPLE RANCH APARTMENT SITE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, UH, RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD IN PALMERO RIDGE BOULEVARD, THE ANDREW WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS STAFF PRESENTATION.OH, COMMISSIONERS CORDELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
SO THIS IS THE FINAL STEP IN THE TREE REMOVAL REQUEST PROCESS.
THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO REMOVE TWO SIGNIFICANT TREES, A ONE THAT'S 20.5 CALIBER INCHES AND ONE THAT'S 90 19 CALIPER INCHES IN SIZE.
THE TREE REMOVALS ARE NEEDED DUE TO SITE CONSTRAINTS AND NECESSARY LOCATIONS OF THE SITE DRIVES AND BUILDINGS.
SO PER THE COMPOSITE ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION HAS QUOTED A REMOVAL OF A SIGNIFICANT TREE GREATER THAN AN 18 INCH CALIPER SIZE REQUIRES EITHER THE APPROVAL OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OR WHERE UNDESIRABLE OR IMPRACTICAL CONDITIONS EXIST ONSITE.
YOU CAN REMOVE IT WITH AN ALTERNATIVE, A TREE PRESERVATION PLAN.
SO TO SET THE SCENE, THAT'S A GOOD ONE TO THE NORTH IS A PUD, UH, COMMERCIAL OFFICE PARK TO THE EAST ACROSS THE RIGHT OF WAY IS RESIDENTIAL ROW REAGAN'S OVERLOOK.
THERE IS A CHURCH OF CHRIST, AND THEN THERE'S ALSO RESIDENTIAL TO THE SOUTH IS GC THREESY, ANOTHER COMMERCIAL TRACT, UH, THAT'S UH, CURRENTLY, UH, UNDER SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND TO THE WEST IS THE PALMERA RAGE, UH, UH, SUBDIVISION, THE AMENITIES CENTER AND THE DETENTION POND.
A, THE TRACT IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED WITH SECTIONS OF TREE COVER.
THE TREES PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL AT THIS TIME INCLUDE THOSE WITHIN THE NECESSARY SITE DRIVES AND BUILDINGS.
THE PROJECT WILL TAKE ACCESS OFF OF BOTH PALMERA RIDGE BOULEVARD AND RONALD REAGAN.
UH, THE PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED AGAIN UNDER REVIEW.
[00:30:01]
COMPLETION WITH THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.UM, SO UP TO, UH, PER COMPOSITE ZONING ORDINANCE UP TO 50% OF THE SIGNIFICANT TREES BETWEEN EIGHT AND 18 CALIBER INCHES MAY BE REMOVED WITHOUT MITIGATION, UH, AT A REPLACEMENT RATIO OF ONE-TO-ONE.
UM, SO IN YOUR PACKET, UM, YOU HAVE A MITIGATION PLAN, SO THEY ARE GOING OVER THE 50% BY 1018 0.5 CALIBER INCHES.
SO THEY'RE PAYING THE FEE IN LIEU AMOUNT THERE.
UH, AND THEN THERE'S ALSO THE TWO, UM, TREE REMOVALS, UH, 18 TO 26 THAT THEY WERE MOVING AND THAT'S A TWO TO ONE RATIO AND THAT TOTALS A 79, UH, REPLACEMENT CALIBER INCHES.
UM, AND THEN THERE WAS, UM, A REPLACEMENT INCHES THAT WERE PLANTED ON SITE IN THIS DIAGRAM HERE.
SO ALL THE GREEN IS ABOVE AND BEYOND A MITIGATION CALIBER, AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE SOME TREE CREDITS THAT THEY WERE USING AS WELL, WHICH BRINGS THE GRAND TOTAL TO $74,888 OF TOTAL MITIGATION FEES.
UM, WITH THAT SAID, THAT CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.
UM, WE'RE HERE TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION? GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
I'M A STUDIO 1619 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT OF RECORD ON THE PROJECT.
UH, NO REAL PRESENTATION, OTHER THAN JUST REITERATING WHAT, UH, COURTNEY WAS MENTIONING.
UM, THESE WERE THE, UH, OF THREE SIGNIFICANT TREES ON THE SITE.
THESE WERE TWO THAT JUST HAPPENED TO LAND IN AREAS THAT WERE LOCATED, THAT WE REALLY COULDN'T WORK AROUND.
UH, WE HAD WORKED WITH, UH, UH, LOCAL ARBORISTS TO IDENTIFY THE BEST TREES ONSITE, AND, UM, WE'RE ABLE TO SAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF TREES, INCLUDING, UH, SEVERAL CREDIT TREES AS WAS MENTIONED.
UH, MOST OF THOSE HAPPENING HERE IN THE LEFT, THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE, UH, CLOSE TO THE ENTRANCE AND ALONG PULMONARY RIDGE, UH, THERE'S ONE HERITAGE TREE THAT'S LOOKING ONSITE AND WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE THAT ONE AND THAT'S LOOKING AT THE TOP.
SO I'LL MENTION SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WE'LL, UH, MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION COMMISSIONER CARPENTER.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS COMMISSIONER.
I'M NOT GREAT, BUT, UH, NO QUESTIONS AND I HAVE NO QUESTIONS.
I'VE, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU, ME LADS, I MOVE THESE THINGS AROUND ALL THE TIME AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO KEEP THEM.
SO WITH THAT, THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.
I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION, NO MOTION.
JUST SO WE HAVE SOMETHING TO GO ON.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND, HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CARPENTER.

SO THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED UP BY, UH, MR. TONY BETTIS, THE CFP, UH, DIRECTOR OR MANAGER.

UM, SO THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE TREE REMOVAL REQUEST PROCESS.
UH, THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO REMOVE 21 SIGNIFICANT TREES, UH, 18 TO 26 CALIPER INCHES AND FIVE HERITAGE TREES GREATER THAN 26 CALIPER INCHES.
MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN ATTACHMENT SIX WITHIN YOUR, UH, AGENDA PACKET.
THE REQUEST IS TIED TO A CIP PROJECT, 20 CIP, 0 0 7, TO CONSTRUCT THE PHASE TWO EXPANSION OF SAN GABRIEL PARKWAY EAST ONTO RONALD REAGAN PARKWAY.
THE TREE REMOVALS ARE NEEDED DUE TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND EXPANSION OF SAN GABRIEL PARKWAY PHASE TWO.
ADDITIONALLY, THE CITY STAFF WISHES TO
[00:35:01]
MITIGATE FOR A FEBRUARY, 2019 WATERLINE INSTALLMENT PROJECT TO THE SAN GABRIEL PUMP STATION IN WHICH TREES WERE REMOVED WITHOUT PERMITS.SO LET'S SEE, GET AN ARIEL, UH, TO THE NORTH IS ETJ.
IT'S UNDEVELOPED TO THE EAST IS LC TWO EIGHT, AND THAT IS COMMERCIAL, UH, COMMERCIAL ZONING.
AND IT IS ALSO UNDEVELOPED TO THE SOUTH IS THE PALMERA RIDGE SECTION NINE, UH, PUD, WHICH RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION AND TO THE WEST IS ALSO A PUD.
UH, AND THAT IS RESIDENTIAL PRIMARILY RIDGE SECTION FOR THE PROPERTY IS TO THE NORTH OF THE PALMERA RIDGE, UH, SECTION NINE SUBDIVISION AND RUNS SOUTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD AND CURRENT CR 2 74.
THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH AND EAST IS UNDEVELOPED WHILE, UH, THE SOUTH AND WEST, UH, SURROUNDS IS THE COMMENT OVER SUBDIVISION, THE LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION CONTAINED SIGNIFICANT TREE COVER WHERE THE EXPANSION AND IMPROVES AND IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROPOSED, WHICH IS A ATTACHMENT FIVE IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET.
THE TREE IS PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL AT THIS TIME, INCLUDE THOSE WITHIN THE SOUTH TWO LANES, UH, WITH CONSTRUCTION STARTING WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR.
ADDITIONAL TREES PROPOSE FOR THE REMOVAL INCLUDE THE FUTURE.
UH, NORTH TWO LANES WITH CONSTRUCTION DATE TO BE DETERMINED.
UH, PROJECT CONSTRUCTION WILL TAKE ACCESS OFF OF A ZUL, UH, LAGOON DRIVE AND CONNECT TO THE EXISTING SAN GABRIEL ROAD SECTION WITH RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD.
THE FUTURE PHASE TWO EXPANSION OF SAN GABRIEL PARKWAY IS A A HUNDRED FOOT, UH, RIGHT OF WAY WITH FOUR LANES.
UH, IT'S AN ARTERIAL, UH, WITH A 10 FOOT SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF THE ROAD.
LET'S SEE IF I CAN FIND THE ROAD SECOND.
UH, THE PROJECT WILL BE DEVELOPED IN TWO PHASES, UH, AND THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN YOUR PACKET AS ATTACHMENT FOUR AND FIVE WITH THE SOUTH TWO LANES BEING CONSTRUCTED AGAIN WITHIN THE YEAR AND WITHIN NEXT YEAR.
AND THE REMAINING TWO NORTH LANES BEING CONSTRUCTED AT A FUTURE DATE.
UM, THE PROJECT IS NORTH OF THE EXISTING SAN GABRIEL STORAGE TANK, WHICH WE JUST SAW FOR A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT, UH, A COUPLE OF PNZ YEARS AGO, AND IS BOUND TO THE SOUTH AND WEST BY THE PULMONARY ROUGE SUBDIVISION.
SO IN YOUR PACKETS, UM, YOU HAD THE, UH, MITIGATION PLAN, UH, LAID OUT.
THEY ARE REMOVING 498 CALIBER INCHES, UH, AT A ONE-TO-ONE REPLACEMENT.
THERE WAS FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
THEY ARE MOVING 144.5, UM, CALIBER INCHES OF 18 TO 26.
SO THAT REPLACEMENT RATIO WAS TWO TO ONE.
SO THAT PUT THEM AT A 289 CALIBER INCHES THAT THEY WERE MITIGATING.
AND THEN FOR THE HERITAGE TREES, UH, THERE WAS THE FEE FOR, UH, REMOVAL, UH, AS WELL AS THE, UH, THREE TO ONE REPLACEMENT, WHICH PUT THEM AT 420 CALIPER INCHES, WHICH BROUGHT THE, UH, TOTAL AMOUNT TO $223,050 FOR THE FEE IN LIEU OF MOUNTAIN.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, UH, THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.
AND WE'RE HERE TO ADDRESS ANY OF YOUR COMMENTS.
THE AFRICAN PRESENTATION, GIVE ANY COMMISSIONERS.
BETTISON THE CIP PROGRAM MANAGER FOR THE CITY.
I DO NOT HAVE A FORMAL PRESENTATION.
HOWEVER, I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS.
WE WILL ENTER INTO DISCUSSION VICE-CHAIR YEAH.
SO DO WE, DO WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ARTERIAL THERE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE SAME DISCUSSION WE JUST HAD ABOUT, UM, A COUPLE OF CASES AGO ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE ROAD AND THE IMPACT TO THAT, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I, I HAVE MORE HEARTBURN WITH, UH, UH, TREES BEING REMOVED WITHOUT PERMIT FOR THE WATER THING THAN I, UH, BUT I STILL HAVE A LOT OF HEARTBURN ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TREES THAT, THAT THE CITY IS REQUESTING REMOVE.
SO IS IT THAT, SO MY, MY, MY ONLY QUESTION IS, IS IT REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ARTERIAL? MY UNDERSTANDING IS FROM, OF COURSE THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, THERE IS THE GOAL TO EVENTUALLY HAVE ST.
GABRIEL'S EXTEND FROM RONALD REAGAN ALL THE WAY BACK TO NAMELESS.
SO IT WILL BE A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.
EAST-WEST MY DISCUSSIONS WITH BOTH THE POLICE CHIEF AND FIRE CHIEF SAY THAT THIS WILL BE A MAJOR, UH, EAST-WEST THOROUGHFARE FOR THEM AS WELL.
AND THEY DO ANTICIPATE HAVING HIGHER TRAFFIC IN IT EVENTUALLY.
SO I'M NOT A SPECIALIST IN THIS, BUT I WOULD SAY YES.
WELL, I DON'T LIKE TO SEE TREES MOWED DOWN.
I'M LOOKING AT WHERE THE ROAD IS AND TO GET IT TO RON REAGAN,
[00:40:02]
IT SEEMS LIKE THIS WAS THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE, UH, UNLESS WE BUILD A HUGE BRIDGE OVER THE TREES.UM, THAT'S ALL I HAVE COMMISSIONER CARPENTER.
I'M KIND OF A TREE HUGGER TOO, BUT I REALLY DON'T SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH SOME OF THESE TREES ARE REALLY UNLIKE SOME OF THE CASES WHERE WE'RE TAKEN DOWN GNARLY, OLD THINGS.
YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE ARE REALLY NICE, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS BAD, BUT I DON'T SEE HOW WE CAN GET AROUND IT, UH, FOR THE STREET.
AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS THE MAIN WAY TO GO EAST AND WEST AND THE FUTURE IS GOING TO BE THERE.
SO THAT SAID, I'M GOING TO CRY WHEN THEY'RE CUT, BUT THAT'S IT.
UM, I PROBABLY LOOK AT THIS IS HARDER THAN I LOOKED AT ANYTHING ON THIS AGENDA.
UM, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S A LAW, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD THE ROAD? SO, UM, I'M A, I'M GOING TO BE A GRUDGING.
AND WITH THAT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.
COMMISSIONER MAY MAKE SOME MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND COMMISSIONER CARPENTER SECONDS, ALL IN FAVOR, OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
[15. Discuss and consider action regarding Ordinance Case 22-OR-002 to amend the Composite Zoning Ordinance to adopt amendments to the landscape ordinance requirements to promote water conservation, and to provide for related matters; Williamson & Travis Counties, Texas. Staff Presentation Discussion Consider Action]
US TO ITEM 15, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION REGARDING ORDINANCE CASE 22 DASH O R DASH 0 0 2, TO AMEND THE COMPOSITE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ADOPT AMENDMENTS TO THE LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS, TO PROMOTE WATER CONSERVATION AND PROVIDE FOR RELATED MATTERS, WILLIAMSON AND TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS STAFF PRESENTATION.UM, SO THIS IS, UH, THE SECOND REVIEW FOR THE COMMISSION OF THIS ORDINANCE.
UM, DURING OUR LAST MEETING, THE COMMISSION ASKED FOR SOME ADDITIONAL CHANGES.
UM, IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR PACKETS, UM, I TRIED TO HIGHLIGHT THEM, UM, ON SHEET TWO, THAT'S WHERE WE ADDED THE REQUIREMENT THAT TURF GRASS IS LIMITED TO 50% FOR LANDSCAPE, LOTS OPEN SPACE, GREEN SPACE AND HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION LOTS.
AND THERE'S A REVISION THAT MAY BE COMPLICATED WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT.
UM, THERE'S THE, THE ONE THAT SAYS THE MAXIMUM LANDSCAPE THAT MAY BE PLANTED IN TURF GRASS FOR TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT LISTED IN ARTICLE SIX, SECTION ONE, UM, I ADDED A CATEGORY THAT CATEGORY SCHOOL AND PARKS.
SO THIS IS ADDING THAT TURF GRASS LIMIT TO THE PARKS LIKE WE REQUESTED.
UM, SO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS WHEN YOU COME INTO, UM, DEVELOP A PARK, WE'RE NOT, UM, GOING TO SAY YOU HAVE TO REMOVE TURF GRASS IF IT'S EXISTING, BUT IN DISTURBED AREAS, THERE'S A LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT YOU CAN ADD TO IT.
UM, THE OTHER UPDATE WAS, UM, ON THE OVERHEAD DOORS, THE COMMISSION REQUESTED THAT WE CLARIFY THE LANGUAGE, UM, TO STATE THAT, UH, THE DECORATIVE OVERHEAD DOORS COULD BE PROVIDED IN LIEU OF SCREENING.
WHEN THE DOORS ARE ORIENTED TOWARDS THE STREET.
UM, PREVIOUSLY IT WAS A LITTLE MORE VAGUE AND, UH, THOSE ARE THE CHANGES AND I'M AVAILABLE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THANK YOU WITH THAT.
WE WILL, UM, ENTER IN TO DISCUSSION VICE CHAIR.
AND JUST ONCE AGAIN, STAFF, I THINK HAS DONE REALLY A FANTASTIC JOB ON CREATING THESE.
SO I'M REALLY PLEASED AND I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE, TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER MAY.
BY COMMISSIONER CARPENTER, ALL IN FAVOR, OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
AND WITH THAT, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
