THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? HELLO? YOU GUYS HEAR ME? OKAY.

UM, MICHAEL PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

UH, SO THIS REQUEST IS THE FINAL STEP IN THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING VARIANCES BE GRANTED BY THE COMMISSION.

UH, THE FIRST FROM THE COMPOSITE ZONING ORDINANCE, ARTICLE SIX, SECTION EIGHT, UH, ALLOWING DIRECT ACCESS DRIVE, UH, FROM ANY SINGLE FAMILY LOT FROM A COLLECTOR CLASS ROADWAY.

UH, THIS REQUEST INCLUDES A SHARED DRIVEWAY FOR THE LOTS ONTO THE COLLECTOR.

UH, NUMBER TWO, REMOVING THE REQUIREMENT FOR A 10 FOOT LANDSCAPE, LOT ADJACENT TO A COUNTY ROAD 2 67.

UH, THIS REQUIREMENT IS USED FOR LARGER DEVELOPMENTS WITH MULTIPLE LOTS THAT BACK UP TO A COLLECTOR AND THREE REMOVING A REQUIREMENT FOR THE SIX FOOT PRIVACY FENCE ALONG THE COMMON LOT LINE, UH, BETWEEN THE LANDSCAPE LOT.

UH, THE, AND THE SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS, UH, ALONG, UH, COUNTY ROAD 2, 6, 7, UH, THE OTHER ONES ARE FROM THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, ARTICLE FOUR, SECTION 61 A WHICH STATES REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKLAND DEDICATION AND PARKLAND IMPROVEMENTS, UH, FOR ANY SUBDIVISION THAT ADDS NEW RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

UH, THE FIRST IS REMOVING THE PARKLAND DEDICATION OR THE FEE IN LIEU OPTION.

AND THE SECOND IS REMOVING THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS OR THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FEE REQUIRED.

SO THE GOAL OF THE REQUESTED, UH, REQUESTING THESE VARIANCES IS TO ENSURE THE ORDINANCE IS NOT CREATE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERS AFFECTED BY THE SHORT FORM FINAL PLAT APPLICATION.

UH, THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE IS TO PROVIDE AN ORDERLY, SAFE HEALTHFUL DEVELOPMENT TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY.

A VARIANCE TO THESE PROVISIONS OF THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BE CONSIDERED AN EXCEPTION TO THE REGULATIONS WHENEVER ATTRACT, UH, TO BE DEVELOPED IS OF SUCH UNUSUAL SIZE SHAPE OR SURROUNDED BY DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH UNUSUAL CONDITIONS THAT THE STRICT APPLICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS ORDINANCE WOULD RESULT IN A SUBSTANTIAL HARDSHIP OR INEQUITY.

UH, BUT SO THAT AT THE SAME TIME, THE PUBLIC WELFARE AND INTEREST OF THE CITY ARE PROTECTED AND THE GENERAL INTENT AND SPIRIT OF THIS ORDINANCE, UH, ARE PRESERVED.

UH, SO SOME HISTORY OF THIS, UH, PLAT, IT WAS ANNEXED IN 2016.

UH, THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN WAS RECENTLY AMENDED,

[00:05:01]

SO THESE VARIANCES ARE STILL RELEVANT.

UM, THEY WOULD HAVE APPLIED IF IT WAS AN ARTERIAL AS WELL.

UH, SO THIS SHORT FORM VINYL PLAT INCLUDES THREE RESIDENTIAL WATTS.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE SHORT FORM FINAL PLAT AND THE ASSOCIATED VARIANCES, UH, WITH THE CONDITION, UH, THAT THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY, UH, NOTES THAT WERE, UH, ADDED, UH, REGARDING THE ONSITE SEWAGE FACILITY BE ADDED TO THE PLAT PRIOR TO APPROVAL.

UM, IF THE COMMISSION CHOOSES TO APPROVE THESE VARIANCES, UH, THEY MUST TAKE ACTION AND CONFIRM THAT THE REQUEST MEETS THE FINDINGS OF FACT, AS LISTED ON YOUR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU.

IS THERE AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION? YES.

THANK YOU.

UH, MY NAME IS PHIL KING.

UH, ONE OF THE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS IN MY SELF AND MY WIFE ARE OWNERS OF A LOT, TWO AND THREE AT DAVID AND REBECCA SMITH.

AND REBECCA IS PRESENT HERE THIS EVENING ARE OWNERS OF LOT ONE, UH, AND WE KIND OF BEGAN THIS PROCESS ALMOST A YEAR AGO WITH A MEETING WITH ROBIN AND OTHERS OF THE CITY, UH, ON HOW WE SHOULD PROCEED IN THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS.

AND THIS IS WHERE WE ARE.

AND, UH, I HAD A MEETING THIS MORNING WITH THE COUNTY OFFICIALS HAVING TO DO WITH THE OSF NOTATION THAT THEY WANT ON THE PLAT THAT WAS NOT THERE, UH, AND, UH, GOT THEIR APPROVAL OF, UH, TWO OF THE ENGINEERS THERE IN THAT DEPARTMENT.

AND THE ONE REVIEWING THE SSF REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE ON LOCK ONE AND TWO ARE A LOT, ONE AND TWO, UH, THAT WE'VE HAD RESIDENCES THERE ALREADY FOR MULTIPLE YEARS, AND THEN UTILIZING THE SYSTEM AND THE CITY HAD APPROVED THE BUILDING PROCESS OF THE HOUSES, BOTH ON THOSE LOTS, UH, IN THE TIME THAT WE'D BEEN THERE.

SO, UM, BASICALLY I JUST WANT TO AFFIRM, UH, THAT AS PROPERTY OWNERS, WHAT WAS PRESENTED BY THE STAFF MEMBER, MICHAEL HERE JUST A MOMENT AGO AND HIS RECOMMENDATIONS IS THAT WE SUPPORT THAT.

AND WE REQUEST THAT, UH, THE COMMISSION, UH, APPROVE THIS PROCESS OR THAT WE CAN BEGIN SOME PROJECTS THAT AS PROPERTY OWNERS, WE CANNOT DO ANY LONGER TO GET PERMANENT PROCESS THROUGH THE CITY UNTIL A PLAT IS COMPLETED.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

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

IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, SEEING NONE I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION? MR. MAY I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION? UM, HAVE WE CHECKED WITH THE, UM, CITY ENGINEERS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE? UM, W UH, WITH THE DRIVEWAYS ON A COLLECTOR CLASS STREET.

SO TH THIS IS A LITTLE UNIQUE, UM, TO A REGULAR NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE ONE.

SO IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOT ADDING LIKE EIGHT DRIVEWAYS TO A COLLECTOR, SO WE WERE AGREEABLE TO THE CHANGE.

OKAY.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BEFORE.

OKAY.

THAT'S ALL I HAD.

OKAY.

COMMISSIONER MOSS.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

HE ASKED THE QUESTION.

HE'S TOO QUICK, MR. MR. HAMPTON, NO QUESTIONS FOR ME, MR. ELANTRA, NO QUESTIONS, MR. CARPENTER, JUST ONE, HOW MANY LOTS ARE GOING TO BE IN THIS SUBDIVISION? DO WE KNOW IT'S JUST THE THREE, JUST THE THREE ARE GOING TO STAY THAT WAY.

RIGHT.

GREAT.

THAT'S IT.

AND I HAVE NO QUESTIONS.

UM, I WILL MAKE THE MOTION JUST BECAUSE I'VE GOT THE EXTRA PIECE HERE AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S INCLUDED.

SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE, UH, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS WITH WHICH ALSO INCLUDES, UH, INCLUDING ON THE PLAT, THAT ALL CONDITIONS LISTED BY WILLIAMSON COUNTY REGARDING THE ONSITE SEWAGE FACILITY ACCEPTANCE HAVE BEEN MET.

AND YOU ALSO NEED TO, UM, INCLUDE IN THE VOTES THAT Y'ALL AGREE TO THE FINDINGS OF FACT, THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE MEETING THAT CRITERIA AS WELL.

AND THAT THEY'RE MEETING THE FINDINGS OF FACT.

THANK YOU, ROB.

AND WE HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER, MAY ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY AGENDA ITEM,

Discuss and consider action regarding Subdivision Case 21-CP-019 as described above. Staff Presentation Applicant Presentation Open Public Hearing Close Public Hearing Discussion Consider Action]

[00:10:03]

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

UH, SINCE THE CONCEPT PLAN SATISFIES THE APPLICABLE REGULATIONS WITHOUT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES AND I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, MR. TENASKA, DO WE HAVE A APPLICANT PRESENTATION? NO.

OKAY.

NOW I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I HAVE A NUMBER OF FOLKS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK TONIGHT.

SO WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, YOU'RE GOING TO COME UP TO THE PODIUM.

YOU'LL HAVE, UH, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE FOR THE RECORD.

AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.

MR. DARRELL, DARNELL HI, GOOD EVENING.

UH, MY NAME IS DARRELL DARNELL.

I LIVE AT 41 1 HERNANDO'S LOOP, WHICH IS AT THE VERY END OF HERNANDO'S LOOP THERE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO PUT, THEY GOT THE PROPOSED ENTRY GOING IN.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I NEED TO SAY TO Y'ALL.

FIRST OF ALL, UH, WHOEVER'S IN CHARGE OF PUTTING UP THE NOTICE SIGNS, UH, COME OUT THERE AND DROVE THEM IN THE GROUND ABOUT THAT FAR, THAT YOU ASKED HER ABOUT HALF A DAY IN BLUE DOWN, AND NOBODY EVER COME BACK AND PUT THEM UP.

UH, I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF A WEEK LATER TO STRAP THEM TO THE, TO THE, UH, FENCE WHERE PEOPLE COULD SEE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY PUT ANY IN THE BACK NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE WEST.

UH, NO NOTICES IS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.

AND THEN, UH, SOME OF MY NEIGHBORS SAY THEY GOT A LETTER FROM Y'ALL AND THEN I GOT SOME MAPS STUCK TO MY DOOR AND OTHER NEIGHBORS DIDN'T GET ANYTHING.

I GOT A COPY OF THIS MAP.

UH, I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL WERE ON THE, THE BOARD.

UH, PROBABLY THREE YEARS AGO, WE HAD ANOTHER DEVELOPER COME IN AND THEY WERE, THEY WERE REALLY KIND, THEY CALLED NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, HAD MEETINGS WITH PEOPLE BEFORE WE EVEN GOT TO THIS, UH, THIS DEAL.

BUT THIS, THIS, UH, DEVELOPERS KIND OF LIKE, UH, DOING IT COVERTLY THAT I'VE WRITTEN THAT, UH, SINCE I'VE LIVED THERE SINCE, UH, 2017, I'VE WRITTEN THAT PROPERTY ON A FOUR WHEELER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR MR. WISE, WATCHING HIS COWS, THAT WHOLE PROPERTY FLOODS, UH, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE BLOODLINE SAYS, UH, THERE'S MORE CREEKS ON THERE THAN WHAT'S SHOWN ON THAT.

THAT IS A MAIN DRAINAGE FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE WEST ALL THE WAY FROM BAGHDAD ROAD.

AND WHEN IT RAINS, UH, HERNANDEZ LOOP HAS NO CURB AND GUTTERS IT'S STRICTLY JUST RUNS DOWN THE STREET AND IT, IT, THE STREET RUNS TOWARDS 180 3.

SO IT COMES DOWN HERNANDEZ LOOP IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND GO STRAIGHT WHERE THAT ARROW IS, IS THE OLD CREEK BED.

AND IT RUNS STRAIGHT INTO WHERE THOSE, BETWEEN THOSE TWO BLUE LINES AND GOES OUT THE COBRA.

THE LAST TIME WE HAD A MEETING, UH, TXDOT, UH, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, ADVISE THAT THEIR CULVERT WASN'T BIG ENOUGH.

THEY WOULDN'T, DON'T PUT IN A BIGGER COVERT THE RAILROAD SAME WAY.

ALL Y'ALL GOING TO DO, IF Y'ALL ARE APPROVED, THIS HAS DUMP WATER ON US AND DUMP MORE WATER INTO BLOCK HOUSE BECAUSE THAT LAND THAT DOES ABSORB WATER IS GOING TO BE ALL CONCRETE.

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PUT 22 HOUSES ALONG THAT GREEN, THAT GREEN AREA, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO MAP.

SO THERE'S 22 HOUSES THERE AND 75 IN THE YELLOW SECTION.

SO MY MAIN, ONE OF MY MAIN QUESTIONS IS WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A DRIVEWAY GOING INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE VERY END OF HERNANDO'S LOOP AND NOT HAVE IT UP AT THE FRONT? SO YOU'RE GOING TO RUN ALL THAT TRAFFIC DOWN THE LOOP TO GO INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU'RE GOING TO RUN IT ALL THROUGH THIS OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD, TO WHERE IF YOU DO APPROVE IT, THEY NEED TO HAVE THE ONLY ENTRIES FROM 180 3.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. DARNELL.

UM, CORDIA LOVELADY IMAM.

IF YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE, YOU'LL HAVE TO REMIT.

I LOVE THAT.

AND I LIVE AT 2 0 5 HERNANDEZ LOOP, AND MY MAIN CONCERN IS ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BE COMING ON OUR LOOP.

OUR ROAD, OUR STREET IS ONLY 18 FEET WIDE.

IT'S NOT EVEN A TWO LANE ROAD.

UM, WE HAVE AN ISSUE AT TIMES WITH CARS GOING A LITTLE TOO FAST.

WE HAVE QUITE A FEW FAMILIES AS YOU COME INTO HERNANDEZ LOOP.

THAT'S WHERE THE MAJORITY OF OUR KIDS ARE.

I'VE HAD THE HOME FOR 43 YEARS.

THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT WAS IT WAS A LOOP.

IT WAS SAFE FOR THE KIDS.

OKAY.

I'VE NOTICED SINCE THEY OPENED UP COUNTY GLEN, WHICH IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE, CARS ARE COMING MORE THROUGH THERE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A CHILD

[00:15:01]

I DON'T WANT THAT.

FIRST OFF OUR ROAD CAN HANDLE ANY MORE CARS AND IT IS A LOOP AND THE FAMILIES THAT ARE THERE.

I MEAN, WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR EACH OTHER, EVEN WHEN WE'RE PASSING.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE A DANGER AND IT JUST CAN'T HANDLE, AND THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE THEY EVER OPENED UP HERNANDEZ.

TO, FOR THAT REASON, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IN THE FLOODING ISSUE.

I'M WITH THAT, I'VE SEEN IT OVER THE 43 YEARS.

IT'S NEVER BEEN FIXED BY THE CITY.

AND IT'S WORSE NOW THAT THE ROAD IS HIGHER BECAUSE IT COMES DOWN INTO OUR YARDS AND HAS NO PLACE TO GO OTHER THAN JUST PILE UP AND KEEP GOING.

AND THAT LITTLE CREEK DOES NOT HANDLE THE OVERFLOW.

THAT'S RIGHT THERE.

THAT LITTLE TINY LITTLE BRIDGE DOES IT.

IT DOESN'T HANDLE IT ALL THE DITCHES FROM COUNTY, GLEN LOOKED GREAT, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THAT LITTLE BITTY CREEK ABOUT THIS WIDE UNDER THE BREAD, IT DOESN'T TAKE IT.

SO, AND ANOTHER REASON WE HAVE THAT DAYCARE CENTER OR WHATEVER ON 180 3, IF YOU OPEN HER, NANDO'S LOOP UP IN ANY OF THOSE KIDS, GET AWAY FROM THOSE TEACHERS WHILE THEY'RE THERE AND COME ON OUR STREET BECAUSE ITS BACKS BACKS UP RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S ANOTHER HAZARD.

SO IT'S A REALLY MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH THE MAJOR FLOODING ISSUE.

THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU.

MA'AM ROSEMARY MILLER AND SPELL IT FOR YOUR SPEAKER NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE.

YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

IT WAS MURRAY MILLER, A 2100 EMERALD I'LL DRIVE.

UM, YOU COULD, WE HAD TO CHECK A CHECKBOX, WHETHER I'M FOR OR AGAINST.

I NEED TO NOT HAVE ONE BECAUSE I'M NOT EITHER, UM, UNTIL I GET SOME MORE INFORMATION, UM, I AM AGAINST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD IN THE PRIOR PREVIOUS ONE, BUT ONE WOULD BE GETTING MORE INFORMATION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, UM, AS TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY, UM, DISCUSSED AS, YOU KNOW, WHERE'S THE WATER GOING TO GO? HOW ARE THEY GOING TO DO THAT? AND WHEN YOU GUYS DO TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION, UH, THINKING ABOUT, AND MAYBE EVEN REFERRING BACK TO SOME OF THE SURVEYS THAT WERE TAKEN BEFORE, CAUSE THE LAST PEOPLE DID TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO GET INFORMATION AND, UM, SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO TRY TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT THEY NEVER ENDED UP BUILDING.

UM, SO IF WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT ALREADY, I HOPE THAT WE'RE DOING DUE DILIGENCE TO GET THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO FIX THOSE THINGS.

UH, ROADS WERE ALREADY DISCUSSED OUR SIDEWALKS.

THERE ARE NONE.

UM, SO THAT IS GOING TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL.

UM, AND THEN ALSO THE ENTRY.

SO JUST REITERATING SOME OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID.

UM, YEAH.

AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH, UM, ALSO TO WHERE ARE THEY AS THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING, UM, WHERE ARE THE ROADS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE TAKING FOR THEIR TRUCKS TO BE GOING IN AND OUT AND ALL OF THAT? HOW IS EVERYTHING GOING TO BE MANEUVERED THAT WAY? THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU.

MA'AM UH, JUDGE EDMONDS, STOUT, JUST OUT.

YOU'LL HAVE, UH, PLEASE SAY YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

YEAH, MADNESS.

TODD.

I LIVE AT FOUR 20 HERNANDO'S LOOP, WHICH IS DIRECTLY MY FRONT YARD.

I'M LOOKING ACROSS THE STREET AT THIS PROPERTY RIGHT ABOUT IN THE MIDDLE.

AND SO I WANT TO RAISE THE THREE ISSUES THAT ARE MAINLY HERE.

THE FLOOD PLAIN, MOST OF THAT PROPERTY IS FLOODPLAIN.

IT FLOODS WHEN IT RAINS, ALL THAT WATER GOES RIGHT STRAIGHT DOWN THE STREET, RIGHT INTO MY YARD.

AND I HAVE A PUDDLE, EVEN THOUGH THEY RECREATED A DANGEROUS DITCHES TO INDUSTRY IT'S NOT ADEQUATE ENOUGH.

AND SO THAT PROPERTY IS ALMOST ALL FLOODPLAIN AND TO BUILD ANYTHING ON THAT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF WHEN WE HAD THIS MEETINGS IN THE PAST CONCERN AND PROPERTY, FEMA WAS MAKING STATEMENTS, WHICH I BELIEVE I'LL LET, UM, AND THAT IS DRESS, BUT IT IS REALLY A MATTER OF THE FACT THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF MONEY, MORE MONEY THAN ANY DEVELOPER REALLY HAS IN ORDER TO DO THAT.

AND EVEN IF THEY DID, I HAVE DOUBTS WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN REALLY HELP STOP THE PROBLEM OF POSSIBLY FLOODING THE ACCESS, UH, THAT IS A PIECE OF PROPERTY RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE PROMOTING THREE DIFFERENT ACCESSES.

AND YOU'RE TALKING IF, IF EVERY ONE OF THOSE PER WHAT DWELLINGS HAVE TWO CARS, THAT'S 194 CARS AND YOU GOT THREE ACCESS TO THAT.

64 CARS PER EXIT PER DAY.

THAT IS AN, A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY.

180 3 OF COURSE, WAS A DANGER, BUT TO RUN THEM THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION, LIKE WHAT WAS SAID BEFORE OUR STREET ON HERNANDO'S LOOP, IT IS A LOOP AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A LOOP.

AND IT HAS JUST, YOU CAN'T, IT'S NOT A TWO WAY STREET.

YOU JUST BARELY PASS EACH OTHER ON THE STREET.

AND BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF PARKING, THE SPACE OF A LOT OF PEOPLE PARK PARTIALLY ON THE STREET, RIGHT OFF THE STREET.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON THAT STREET, COMMENDED SAFETY ISSUE ON THAT STREET.

AND, YOU KNOW, LASTLY, SOME OF THE THINGS HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED IN BEFORE IS THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE COMPATIBLE.

IF WE HAVE A SUBDIVISION AND YOU BUILD ANOTHER SUBDIVISION NEXT TO IT, YOU WANT IT TO BE COMPATIBLE TO YOUR SUBDIVISION.

WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THE BACK OF A YARD, YOU KNOW, AND THAT WAS WHAT ONE TIME PROPOSED TO THE HOUSES ACROSS THE STREET.

WE'RE GOING TO BE MORE LIKE TRACK HOMES AND THERE'D BE TWO HOUSES FOR EVERY ONE OF OURS.

AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THE BACKYARD OF THEM ANOTHER NEW MINUTE TIME.

IT WAS SUPPOSED, THEY WERE BUILDING A THREE STORY, TWO STORY, APARTMENT COMPLEXES, AND THEY WERE GOING TO BUILD A NICE, BIG, PRETTY BRICK WALL THAT I'M LOOKING AT WITH THE APARTMENT COMPLEX IS ON THE OTHER SIDE, LOOKING AT THE BACKS OF THESE HOUSES.

SO,

[00:20:01]

IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS AT LEAST ATTRACTIVE, BUT ALL THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

THE MAIN POINT, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HOPE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IS THAT THAT PROPERTY IS PRIMARILY FLOODPLAIN.

THERE'S BEEN THERE LIKE THE, LIKE DARYL SAID, THERE'S A LOT OF PROPERTY OVER THERE.

NOW THAT'S MOSTLY WATER AND IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.

AND, UH, TO NOT APPROVE THIS WOULD AT LEAST SAVE THE DEVELOPER.

WHOEVER WANTS TO DEVELOP A LOT OF MONEY.

CAUSE THEY KEEP ON SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY TO DEVELOP THIS ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY CAN'T.

AND I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH THEY HAVE DONE TO RESEARCH THAT, BUT IN THE PAST THEY DIDN'T RESEARCH ENOUGH ON, THEY FIND OUT IT'S GOING TO COST WAY MORE MONEY THAN THEY WERE WILLING TO INVEST.

SO THANK YOU.

MA'AM THANK YOU.

JUST SO, UH, PETER TOLEDO, AND IF I'M MISPRONOUNCING, ANYONE'S NAME MY APOLOGIES UPFRONT.

THANK YOU, SIR, SIR.

PLEASE SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD.

AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

YOU'RE TOLEDO 21 IN ONE MRO, DIAL DRIVE.

YOU KNOW, MIND YOU, IF I READ IT ON AUGUST, THE FIRST WE RECEIVED FROM OUR NEIGHBOR, A COPY OF A PROPOSED PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING IN REGARDS TO A PLAN SUBDIVISION AS OF AUGUST 11 TODAY, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED SUCH A NOTICE NOR DID THE NOTICE SHOW WHERE THE HEARING WAS TO BE HELD.

IT WAS A PO BOX ON AUGUST TWO.

I DID SEND AN EMAIL TO THE CASE PLANNER INQUIRING AS TO THE PARTICULARS OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

AND HE RE HE REPLIED ON EIGHT, THREE, COPY ATTACHED.

IT SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NEIGHBORS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT TO SEARCH AND ASK FOR DETAILS.

BUT IF THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO FURNISH THEM TO US, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE US INFORMATION.

HOW MANY LOTS THIS PARCEL IS DIVIDED INTO AND NOT JUST A LOT OUTLINE WITH A PARCEL NUMBER, A CONCEPTUAL MAP, SHOWING LOTS STREETS AND OPEN SPACE WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.

ACCORDING TO MINISTER GENACHOWSKI EMAIL, THE PARCEL OF 43 ACRES IS PLANNED TO ENCOMPASS ABOUT 97 SINGLE FAMILY, LOTS, WHICH COMES OUT TO A LESSON THIRD ACRE LOT AND NOT SHOWING ANY STREETS OR THE 10 ACRE PARK PARKLAND.

THERE ARE AT THE PRESENT TWO XS EXIT PLACES, USAA 180 3 AND COUNTY COURT LANE WITH A POSSIBLE EXIT TO HERNANDEZ LOOP, WHICH MOST LIKELY WOULD BE USED BY THOSE RESIDENTS, WHICH INTEND TO ACCESS US 180 3 NORTHBOUND.

THOSE WHO WANT TO TRAVEL ON BAGHDAD ROAD WOULD HAVE TO USE COUNTY CORK LANE.

AND MY QUESTION IS THIS HAVE ALL THE RESIDENTS OF COUNTY COURT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROJECT AND ITS TRAFFIC IMPACT.

WE ARE ASKED TO COMMENT ON A CONCEPT PLAN WITHOUT GIVING US ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

AND MR. EMAILED THE WORD FLOOD PLAIN IS MENTIONED IS A SUBDIVISION AT ALL POSSIBLE ON THIS ACCOUNT.

IF I WOULD TELL ANYONE A FEW COMMISSIONERS THAT YOU'RE GOING ON A TRIP WITH ME, BE READY AT EIGHT O'CLOCK TOMORROW MORNING AND GIVE YOU NOT ANY DETAILS AS TO WHERE TO LEAH, WHAT TRAVEL METHOD OR THE DESTINATION YOU WOULD CALL ME IN CONSIDERATE.

PLEASE PUT YOURSELF IN OUR PLACE AND HOW YOU WOULD REACT TO THE JULY 27 LETTER YESTERDAY.

I ACCESSED THE ONLINE MEETING AGENDA AND THERE WAS NO MORE INFORMATION THAT I BOUGHT THE LETTER OF JULY 27, 22 CONTAINED.

UH, IT IS SUPPLYING WITH DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE US THE INFORMATION, NOT FOR US TO DIG.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE GO TO WORK EVERY DAY.

THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DO THAT.

SO FROM WHAT I SEE NOW, UH, I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. JULIO AT JOE GALA.

GOOD EVENING.

I LIVE AT 4 1 4 HERNANDEZ LOOP FOR 38 YEARS.

I BUILT MY HOUSE THERE 38 YEARS AGO BECAUSE IT WAS THE LOOP BECAUSE THERE WASN'T GOING TO BE ANY ACCESS TO THE LOOP BESIDES THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING ON THE LOOP AND GOING IN AND OUT OF THAT ONE ENTRANCE, UH, I FRAMED AND HELPED BUILD, UH, PROBABLY A QUARTER OF THE HOUSES FROM A LOOP AND A LOT OF THE HOUSING COUNTY GLAND FROM 1976 TO 1984 WITH A GENTLEMAN NAMED KENNETH WILEY.

AGAIN, THE LOOP WAS ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE IT WAS THE LOOP BECAUSE WE COULD RAISE OUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS ON THE LOOP.

MY QUESTIONS ARE WHAT WOULD BE DONE ABOUT THE ACTIVE WILDLIFE THAT'S ON THE LOOP IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, WE'VE HAD AN EXCESS OF 15 TO 20 DEER COME THROUGH THERE BEFORE THAT.

AND THERE WERE A FEW COMING IN THERE BECAUSE THE DEER IN

[00:25:01]

THAT IS THE ONLY PLACE THEY'RE GOING RIGHT NOW.

I MEAN, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU SEE ONE KILLED UP ON 180 3, WELL, IF A DEVELOPMENT STARTS THERE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE DEER BEING KILLED THERE.

AND THERE'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WILDLIFE THERE.

I MEAN, FOXES, RACCOONS, BIRDS, GALORE AND STUFF.

I MEAN, NOBODY'S REALLY ADDRESSED THAT AND THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.

UM, HOW WILL YOU NAVIGATE TO TURN ON THE SOUTHEAST END OF HERNANDEZ LOOP? IT'S A VERY SHARP TURN.

UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

THEY DIDN'T ADDRESS THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY VAGUE.

I'M A CONTRACTOR MYSELF, I BELIEVE IN PROGRESS, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS ABOUT THIS.

I'M SITTING THERE.

I GO ON THERE, THERE'S NO INFORMATION AND WE DIDN'T GET ANY INFORMATION JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SAID.

UM, WE BUILT OUR HOUSE IN LOOP BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED TRAFFIC.

UH, AND FROM WHAT I'VE GATHERED, THERE COULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 150, 200 MORE CARS COMING ON THE LOOP, UH, IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT, FROM WHAT I'VE READ, UH, HOME BUYERS GO DOWN 10%.

WHO'S GONNA ADDRESS THAT.

ARE WE GOING TO GET A 40 TO $50,000 CHECK? CAUSE THEY'RE BUILDING THERE.

I MEAN, THAT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE HOUSE HAS BE FACING THE SOUTH SIDE, OR IT WOULD BE FACING THE BACK OF THE HOUSES, WHAT SIZE HOUSES AND WHAT LOTS WILL BE BUILT, WHETHER IT BE AN EASEMENT FACING THE SOUTH SIDE OF HERNANDEZ LOOP, WHAT KIND OF FENCING WE USE FOR THE HOUSE IS WHAT BUILDERS WILL BE BUILDING.

HOW ABOUT 60% OF THE HOMEOWNERS ON THE LOOP ARE RETIRED, THAT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED HERE TONIGHT.

AND THAT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE RETIRED THERE FOR THE ERASION TO SEE THE WILDLIFE AND THE BIRDS AND RAISE THEIR GRANDKIDS THERE AND NOT SEE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CARS GOING BY THEIR HOUSE.

NOW, 38 YEARS IN MY HOME, I HAVEN'T BEEN PUT FOLLOWED.

I'VE BEEN CLOSE.

OKAY.

THIS IS MY ORIGINAL PLOT RIGHT HERE.

HERE'S THE LOOP.

THAT WAS A FLOODPLAIN.

I WAS TOLD THE NIGHT BY THE ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPERS OR WHOEVER IT WAS.

IT'S A LOT MORE THAN THAT NOW.

OKAY.

THAT'S A LOT OF WATER AND I'VE SEEN IT.

I'VE SEEN IT GET REALLY BAD OVER THERE.

THE, UH, I HAVE A LOT STUFF TO SAY HERE.

MY MAIN THINGS, UH, SUGGESTIONS THAT I WOULD SUGGEST TO HELP.

I'M NOT FOR THIS FOR SURE.

BUT IF IT HAPPENS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ENTRANCE.

GOT ME.

FINISH YOUR SENTENCE, SIR.

THE ANSWER IS, UH, AND THAT'S GOING TO ADDRESS THIS TONIGHT, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S JUST A LOT, I HAVE TO SAY.

SO ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO GIVE UP THEIR TIME? UH, NO, BUT THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

UH, MATT BRIEFLY, SIR, IF YOU'D SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

HELLO EVERYBODY.

I'M AT ROUGHLY.

I LIVE AT 2 0 2 HERNANDO SLOOP.

I MOVED THERE NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO.

UM, I AM A RETIRED MILITARY POLICE INVESTIGATOR.

MANY OF THOSE YEARS I SPENT AS A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR.

I AM CURRENTLY A REALTOR.

I SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH YOU.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT JUST MY OPINION.

IT'S MY EXPERIENCE AND AREA OF EXPERTISE.

UM, AS A HOMEOWNER ON A HERNANDEZ LOOP, I OWN A COUPLE OF THE LOTS.

I'M CURRENTLY SELLING ONE OF THE OTHER LOTS ON THE PROPERTY.

AND I'M ALSO KIND OF REPRESENTING SOME OF THE OTHER ELDERLY NEIGHBORS THAT COULDN'T GET HERE TONIGHT.

SO JUST MYSELF, I'M REPRESENTING OVER 10% OF HERNANDEZ LOOP.

UM, I'M NOT AGAINST BUILDING PROGRESS WILL HAPPEN.

CHANGE WILL COME, BUT THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT YOU STARTED TO HEAR ABOUT TONIGHT THAT ARE MAJOR AREAS OF CONCERN.

UM, THE FIRST ONE, OF COURSE, BEING TRAFFIC, THE ROADS THROUGHOUT HERNANDEZ LOOP, THEY LOOK KIND OF STRAIGHT.

THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE 18 FEET WIDE.

THAT IS THE BARE MINIMUM THAT NITSA OR TEXTILE AND THE TRAFFIC, UH, HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION HAS SAID THAT AN URBAN RESIDENTIAL ROAD CAN BE MOST OF THAT AREA.

IT'S NOT AN INCH WIDER TO INCLUDE IN THE CURVES, WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

IF YOU'VE GOT TWO CARS TRYING TO GO THROUGH THERE, IF YOU HAVE NEIGHBORS PARKING ON, ON THE EDGE OF THEIR PROPERTIES, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA THAT HAVE EXTENDED FAMILY COME.

THEY, UH, SO THE ROADS OFTEN BECOME REALLY NARROW.

ONE LANE, AMAZON TRUCKS, FEDEX DELIVERY CANNOT GET THROUGH THERE A LOT OF TIMES AS YOU COME IN BECAUSE WE ARE A LOOP THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY IN ONE WAY OUT.

WE HAVE 11 CHILDREN RIGHT THERE AT THAT ENTRANCE.

I HAVEN'T LIVED THERE A YEAR AND I'VE REPLACED TWO MAILBOXES.

UM, IF YOU ADD ENTRANCES, WHICH THIS MAP IS NOT ACCURATE, I'VE SEEN THE PROPOSAL THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT BUILDING THEY'RE GOING TO BE TWO ENTRANCES COMING OFF, HERNANDEZ LOOP, GOING INTO THEIR DEVELOPMENT, WHERE THE ARROW IS AND THE GREEN AREA MOVE THAT OVER TO WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE SOLID YELLOW PART OF LAND.

THAT'S WHERE THEIR BRIDGE IS GOING TO BE.

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO INTERESTS OFF OF HERNANDEZ LOOP ON A ROAD THAT CURRENTLY CANNOT BARELY SUPPORT THE TRAFFIC FLOW THAT IT HAS.

[00:30:02]

WE HAVE JOGGERS, I SEE YOUNG MEN EVERY DAY WITH BACKPACKS RUNNING THROUGH TRAINING FOR MILITARY ENTRANCE.

PEOPLE USE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY SAFE PLACE TO REALLY RUN EXERCISE AND GET A DAILY WALK IN.

UM, IF YOU ADD 97 HOMES THERE, YOU'RE ADDING AT LEAST 200 CARS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TWO HOMEOWNERS THAT ARE PROBABLY BOTH WORKING.

YOU MAY HAVE SOME TEENAGERS, MAYBE EXTENDED FAMILY LOOKING AT THEIR PROPOSAL.

MOST OF THOSE LOTS IN THE GREEN AREA ARE GOING TO BE 50 FEET WIDE.

MY HOME IS WIDER THAN THAT.

THE PROPERTY WILL BE ONLY 50 FEET WIDE ON WHAT THEIR PROPOSALS ARE.

YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THE WILDLIFE.

YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THE FLOODING.

I DO WANT TO JUST ADD, THERE ARE WATT WILD COYOTES AND BOBCATS THAT JUST HAD A LITTER.

DAVID WEISS, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY TOLD ME THAT.

UH, SO THERE'S, WHO'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT DANGEROUS WILDLIFE, NOT JUST DEER, BUT COYOTES AND BOBCATS.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. ROUGHLY, AND THAT SPAWN SELLER, IF YOU'LL SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADJUSTMENT TO THE MICROPHONE, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES AND HAD SPAWN SELLER FOR TWO HERNANDO'S LOOP.

I'M GOING TO KIND OF TALK FAST CAUSE I HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT, UM, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TONIGHT.

TALKING, FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, THAT WAS ACTUALLY ESTABLISHED IN 19 68, 10 YEARS BEFORE THE CITY OF LEANDER WAS EVEN ESTABLISHED.

THAT'S HOW OLD THIS CITY, THIS, THIS AREA IS.

UM, AND THE ROADS WERE BUILT THEN, BUT FIRST I'D LIKE TO SAY, THIS IS A, NOT, THIS IS NOT A, NOT IN MY BACKYARD SITUATION.

I UNDERSTAND THE ZONING ON THIS LOT AND THIS CONCEPT PLAN.

THAT'S NOT IT.

I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT IF THIS PROPERTY IS DEVELOPED, IT WILL HELP THE FLOODING WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THE HISTORY OF WHAT MR. WEISS DID TO TRY TO BACKFILL IT.

AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT CAUSED SOME OF THE FLOODING ISSUES.

SO I, I THINK IF IT WAS CLEARED AND DEVELOP THAT IT WOULD POTENTIALLY HELP THE ISSUE KNOWING WHAT FEMA HAS TO RECOMMEND AND APPROVE FOR THAT PROPERTY.

BUT MY PROBLEM IS, IS THE ACCESS POINTS.

UM, ACCORDING TO THE CONCEPT PLAN, IT STATES THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY 2000 AVERAGE DAILY TRIPS.

AND INSTEAD OF A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, THEY WOULD JUST PAY A FEE IN LIEU.

THIS IS PROBLEMATIC CONCERNING THE STATE OF OUR ROADS.

THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS TYPE OF TRAFFIC AS EVIDENCED BY THE DETERIORATION OF THE EXISTING ROADS AND ROADWAY AND THE ROADWAY CONDITIONS, ASSESSMENT PRESENTED AND SUB AT THE SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2020 COUNCIL MEETING.

THIS ASSESSMENT SHOWED THAT HERNANDEZ LOOP WAS IN FAIR CONDITION, NOT GOOD, NOT SATISFACTORY, BUT FAIR CONDITION.

IT ALSO SHOWED THAT COUNTY CORK AND EMERALD ISLE WERE IN VERY POOR CONDITION WITH A SCORE OF 26 TO 40.

WHEREAS SATISFACTORY IS A SCORE OF 71 TO 85.

HOW WILL THIS WOULD BE ADDRESSED? I KNOW THAT RECENTLY THEY THREW SOME RESURFACING ON THAT ROAD, BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO HELP.

UM, WITH THIS KIND OF TRAFFIC, THERE ARE 33 RESIDENTS ON HERNANDO'S LOOP.

IF YOU CALCULATE TWO CARS PER DAY IN TWO TRIPS PER DAY, THAT EQUATES TO 132 TRIPS ON THAT ROAD COMPARED TO APPROXIMATELY WELL OVER THAT TRIPLE QUADRUPLE, POSSIBLY WITH THE ADDITION OF THESE ACCESS POINTS, KIDS PLAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE HAVE NO SIDEWALKS, NO CURBS, VERY POOR DRAINAGE, WHICH WE'VE HAD FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

THE CITY HAS PASSED BONDS TO HELP WITH THAT DRAINAGE AND THAT MONEY WAS MISUSED.

SO THAT FLOODING STILL CONTINUES.

ANOTHER PROBLEM, UM, IS SEEING THAT, UH, WE HAVE NO ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN FROM THE CITY CONCERNING THE ROADS.

THIS MAKES ME REALIZE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE CONSIDERABLE QUALITY ISSUES ON OUR ROADS SAYING THAT THE ACCESS POINTS WOULD DEVIN DEFINITELY NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE EXISTING RESIDENCES WHILE I THINK THIS WOULD BE A FINE PLACE TO DEVELOP WHAT THEY WANT.

IT'S ZONED FOR THAT.

UM, I WOULD SUGGEST ANY ACCESS POINTS MINUS 180 3 B EMERGENCY ONLY.

UM, AND THEN THAT WOULD CLOSE IT OFF TO NOT HAVE THAT TRAFFIC THROUGH, BUT IF THEY NEEDED TO EVACUATE OR EMERGENCY VEHICLES NEEDED TO GET IN THERE, THEY WOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE ENOUGH ACCESS TO DO THAT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

MA'AM ALEXI KEATON.

HI, MS. KEATON, YOU'LL HAVE, UH, IF YOU SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE, YOU MIGHT NEED TO PULL IT DOWN A LITTLE FOR YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.

OKAY.

MY NAME'S ALEXI KIA AND I LIVE AT 2 0 3 HERNANDEZ, ZIP.

I DON'T WANT THE ROADS TO GET, UM, WHAT'S IT CALLED? OPEN TO THE SUBWAYS BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO RIDE MY BIKE AND I FEEL LIKE IT'D BE BUSY.

AND MY MOM'S

[00:35:01]

AND WHEN ALSO WHEN IT FLOODS, WHEN I GO TO MY BUS, IT'S HARD TO GO.

CAUSE LIKE THE WATER'S UP TO MY FEET, LIKE HIGHER, LIKE TO MY, UM, WHAT'S IT CALLED? NIECE? SORRY.

AND WHEN I PLAY BASKETBALL AND MY FRONT YARD TOO, BECAUSE I USED TO HAVE A HOOP THERE AND YEAH, THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU.

MA'AM SORRY.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

SHE STILL HAS SOME TIME.

YES, MA'AM I'LL ENTERTAIN IT.

UM, WE ARE AT THE FRONT OF HERNANDO'S SLOOP AND ALL THE WATER COMES DOWN THE END OF THE ROAD AND THE ROAD USED TO BE LEVEL WITH MY DRIVEWAY AND NOW IT IS UP HIGHER AND TILTED TOWARDS OUR PROPERTY.

SO ALL OF THE WATER COMES OFF OF HERNANDO'S LOOP AND DRAINS INTO OUR FRONT YARD.

AND THEN WE HAVE OFF COUNTY, GLEN BIG DITCHES THAT TRAVEL ALL THE WATER FROM BAGHDAD ROAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HERNANDEZ LOOP.

THE DITCHES ARE PROBABLY AS WIDE AS OUR STREET, BUT WHENEVER IT HITS HERNANDEZ LOOP, IT GOES UNDER THE DITCH.

AND THE DRAINAGE AREA IS ONLY A FOOT OR TWO WIDE.

IT'S BASICALLY DAMMED UP BECAUSE THERE'S DEBRIS THERE THERE'S TRASH.

THERE THERE'S STUMPS THERE.

UM, I HAVE CONTACTED MR. WATSON WHEN HE WAS THE ENGINEER.

HE AGREED TO COME OUT THAT IT DID BOTTLENECK.

SO IT PREVENTS THE FLOW OF WATER DOWN AND IT CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE TO FLOW.

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND SOMEBODY OUT TO REMOVE ALL THE DEBRIS AND OPEN IT UP TO HELP THE WATER GO FASTER.

ALL WE'RE DOING BY MAKING THE DISHES AND THE CONCRETE UP FURTHER BAGHDAD ROAD AND COUNTY, GLEN IS MAKING THE WATER FLOW FASTER TO WHERE IT ENDS UP AT HERNANDEZ LOOP AND COUNTY GLEN AND BOTTLE'S NECK.

AND IT BACKS UP.

SO THE WATER ENDS UP GOING PROBABLY HALFWAY UP MY YARD.

UM, AND THE KIDS CAN NOT CROSS THE DRIVEWAY TO GO TO THE BUS.

I HAVE TO PICK THEM UP AND CARRY THEM.

IT'S WELL ABOVE OUR ANKLES, I HAVE CONTACTED THE CITY COUNCIL.

I HAVE CONTACTED THE MAYOR.

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY ONE.

AND I DO KNOW THAT THE ROAD WAS LEVEL.

WHENEVER WE BOUGHT THE HOME, SHE WAS SIX MONTHS OLD.

SHE LEARNED HER RIDE.

HER TRAINING WILL BIKE.

SHE WOULD GO OUT THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE STREET, TURN AROUND.

THEY CAME IN THERE, THEY BUILT THE STREET UP AND SHE COULD NO LONGER GET TO THE STREET.

SHE DID NOT HAVE THE LEG POWER TO PUSH HERSELF UP THE DRIVEWAY TO GET INTO THE STREET.

SO I'D HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PUSH HER OUT INTO THE STREET SO SHE CAN GAIN ACCESS.

I WAS TOLD BY MR. WATTS.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

THAT I'M NOT AN ENGINEER AND I HAD TO GET A SURVEY, BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE AN ENGINEER TO SEE THE, WHERE THE WATER FLOWS AND HOW GRAVITY WORKS.

YES MA'AM.

AND CAN YOU JUST SPEAK YOUR NAME INTO THE MICROPHONE FOR THE RECORD AND AFTER TWO OR THREE HERNANDEZ SLIP.

THANK YOU.

MA'AM AND WE'LL HAVE YOU FILL OUT A CARD AS WELL, SINCE WE GIVE YOU SOME TIME.

THANK YOU.

MA'AM AND, UM, CHARLES, RIGHT? MR. WRIGHT, IF YOU SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES, SIR.

YES, SIR.

MY NAME IS CHARLES WRIGHT AND MY WIFE AND I LIVE AT FOUR 12.

HERNENDEZ SALUTE.

THAT'S WHERE THE BIG ARROW IS UP THERE AND YES, I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 36 YEARS.

MY WIFE AND I AND JOE GILLUM DID BUILD MY HOUSE.

AND THESE FOLKS HAVE SAID EVERYTHING MUCH MORE ELOQUENTLY THAN I COULD, BUT THERE'S ONE THING I CAN ADD IS THAT THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPER CAME OUT THERE AND HIS ENGINEER SPENT OVER $50,000 AND THEY FOUND OUT IT WASN'T COST EFFECTIVE TO MEET ALL THE STATE COUNTY AND FEDERAL LAWS TO MAKE THAT PLACE AS SAFE FOR THE WATER.

AND YES, THE WATER DOES RUN DOWN THERE.

NO, THAT MAP THE LITTLE RED LINE, I THINK IT'S SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE ANCIENT CREEK BED.

AND ACCORDING TO THE MAPS, UP IN GEORGETOWN WITH MY MORTGAGE COMPANY AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD ME TO GO THOSE RED LINES, THAT ANCIENT CREEK BED TOUCHES MY PIN ON THE LIGHT POLE THAT'S OUT THERE, RIGHT? SO THEY'RE NOT BACK IN THERE.

SO I DIDN'T DRAW THE MAPS AND THAT ANCIENT CREEK BED IS THERE.

AND AFTER THEY IMPROVED OUR ROADS AND GAVE US THAT BEAUTIFUL RIBBON KIRBY NEAR, WHICH WE NEVER HAD, I WENT, OUR PROPERTY USED TO BE ON A 500 YEAR FLOOD, PLAIN.

AND I SAID, OKAY, AFTER THE IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE IN THE LARGER COVERT, WHICH DOESN'T REALLY WORK, WE'RE DONE BY INSURANCE COMPANY.

AND THE MORTGAGE COMPANY NOTIFIED ME THAT I AM IN A HIGH FLOOD PLAYING RISK AND I'M GONE SCRATCHING MY HEAD GOING, HOW DOES THAT WORK? YOU'VE MADE AN IMPROVEMENT AND I'VE GONE FROM A LOW RISK, 500 YEAR FLOODPLAIN TO A HIGH RISK.

[00:40:02]

BUT ANYHOW, THEY'VE ALL SAID EVERYTHING LIKE I COULD SAY, BUT THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CARS, CAUSE I LIVE ON THAT CORNER.

YOU DO NOT COME AROUND THOSE CORNERS, TWO CARS OPPOSING EACH OTHER ONE.

YOU WAIT.

AND AFTER 36 YEARS YOU, YOU LEARN TO WAIT, BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE ACCIDENTS THERE.

AND THERE'S GOING TO BE PEOPLE INVOLVED AND HEAVEN FORBID THEY HAPPEN ON MY CORNER CAUSE I WILL NOT.

OH, ONE OTHER THING.

THE MAP IS MY NEIGHBOR ROOSTER.

I MEAN, CAROL, HE GAVE ME THE MATH.

WE HEARD THE KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

BY THE TIME WE GOT TO THE DOOR, THE MAN WAS GONE.

THE NEXT DAY, DARRYL SAYS, I GOT A MAP.

DID YOU? I SAID, NO, HE LEFT IT IN MY DOOR.

AND I SAID, YOU DIDN'T LEAVE ONE OF MY DOOR.

THAT'S NOT A VERY FRIENDLY WAY TO START OUT.

FOLKS NOT FRIENDLY OF TALL.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. WRIGHT.

THAT'S THE LAST COMMENT CARD I HAD OR PEOPLE SIGN UP THE SPEAKERS OR ANYONE ELSE HERE TONIGHT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK THAT HAS FELT LIKE, YES, SIR.

IF YOU'LL COME UP AND SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

AND ONCE YOU'RE DONE, I'LL JUST ASK YOU TO PLEASE GET A CARD TO FILL OUT FOR US.

UH, LIONEL JOHNSON.

I LOOK AT THIS 700 NEW CASTLE LANE AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ROADS, I THINK HAS BEEN GENEROUS.

YOU DON'T HAVE CARS PASS EACH OTHER THERE UNLESS THEY'RE BIG RISK TAKERS LIKE TEENAGERS, BUT THE REST OF US DON'T WE PULL OVER AND LET THE OTHER CAR GO BY.

THE OTHER THING THAT YES, THE CITY OF LAND, OR CAN BARELY SUPPLY THE WATER NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE.

NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH ANOTHER, WHAT 2000 PEOPLE HERE, YOU GOT TO TRUCK IN THE WATER FORM.

THE OTHER THING IS THIS HERNANDEZ LOOP FLOOD PLAIN.

IT ISN'T GOING TO GET BETTER WITH THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE IS GOING TO RAISE THE LEVEL OF THE, OF LAND DOWN TOWARDS THE 180 3.

AND THAT WILL INCREASE IN A CREASE.

THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT FLOODS HERNANDEZ LOOP.

IT'S NOT GOING TO GET BETTER.

THE OTHER THING IS 180 3 IN THE MORNING AND EVENING IS JUST ALMOST A TR A PARKING LOT.

IT'S THAT BUSY.

SO YOU ADD ANOTHER 2000 TRIPS THROUGH THERE IN THE MORNING.

YES, WE'RE GOING TO BECOME AN ABSOLUTE PARKING LOT.
