THEY'RE PROPOSING TO SAVE 34 SIGNIFICANT TREES BETWEEN 8 AND 18 CALIPER INCHES, OR 6%, AND THREE SIGNIFICANT TREES BETWEEN 18 AND 26 CALIPER INCHES, TOTALING 6% AND ONE HERITAGE TREE BEING 14%.

MITIGATION IS PROPOSED THROUGH CREDIT 237 CALIPER INCHES OF REPLACEMENT TREES, AS WELL AS A

[00:05:07]

THE CURRENT ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY IS SAID TO BE FOR SINGLE FAMILY SUBURBAN. THE PROPERTY IS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE EASTERN TERMINUS OF PRIVATE ROAD 921, AND IT'S A PROPERTY APPROXIMATELY 15 ACRES, AND THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS, INCLUDING INCLUDING MARBELLA, PHASES ONE AND TWO, RICHMOND LANDING, AND ROUSE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THIS PROPERTY CONTAINS NO FLOODPLAIN, AND THERE IS HEAVY TREE COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE TRACT. AS PART OF THE EVALUATION OF THIS REQUEST, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS. OPTION ONE IS TO APPROVE THE TREE REMOVAL REQUEST. OPTION TWO IS TO DENY THE TREE REMOVAL REQUEST. STAFF RECOMMENDS. OPTION ONE APPROVE. APPROVE THE TREE REMOVAL REQUEST. THIS RECOMMENDATION IS BASED ON THE TOPOGRAPHICAL CHALLENGES AND THE EXTENSIVE GRADING NEEDED FOR THE SUBDIVISION, AND THE STAFF DETERMINED THE APPLICANT HAS DEMONSTRATED A SITUATION. AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. OKAY, IS THERE AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION? YES. OKAY.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS AND STAFF. MY NAME IS PAT. I'M WITH TRIPOINT HOMES. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW ME TO SHARE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING OUR TRP REQUEST. I WANTED TO START OUR PRESENTATION WITH JUST AN HISTORICAL AERIAL VIEW OF THE AREA. OUR PRELIMINARY PLAT LOTS ARE OUTLINED THERE IN GREEN, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE FORMER TREE SITUATION ON THE MARBELLA COMMUNITY, WHICH IS NOW FILLED OUT. OUR SITE IS CHARACTERIZED BY HEAVY TREE COVERAGE. IN ADDITION TO THAT, STAFF SUGGESTED AND MENTIONED IT ALSO HAS EXTREME TOPOGRAPHY. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE THE GRAPH ON THE LEFT, IT'S A CROSS-SECTION OF THE TOPOGRAPHY. THIS SITE IS KNOWN AS GLORY HILL. AND PART OF THAT IS THAT THERE'S A HILL ON THIS SITE, AND THE HILL IS LOCATED IN THE GREEN PORTION ON THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT. SO OUR CIVIL ENGINEER, WHO'S HERE THIS EVENING PREPARED THIS EXHIBIT SHOWING ON THE LEFT. AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S 40FT OF TOPOGRAPHY ACROSS THE SITE. IN SOME SECTIONS, ESPECIALLY THE HILL IN THE MIDDLE HAVE EXTREME TOPOGRAPHY. THE GREEN SECTION AGAIN IS THE CUT. SO WHEN YOU HAVE A HELL AND YOU'RE DOING A GRADING OPERATION, THE GREEN IS WHERE YOU WOULD CUT THAT. AND SO WHENEVER YOU'RE CUTTING AN AREA, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE TREES BECAUSE YOU'RE SORT OF LOPPING OFF A CERTAIN AREA. AND AREAS OF RED IS FILL. AND THAT'S WHERE WE'LL BE SORT OF TRYING TO BALANCE THE SITE AND MOVE DIRT TO FILL AREAS IN RED.

THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, WE WORKED WITH STAFF TO DETERMINE EVERYWHERE WE COULD SAVE ANY TREES, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREAS IN RED, AND WE'VE INCREASED THE TREES WE'RE SAVING THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. BUT THIS JUST GIVES YOU A GOOD VIEW OF THE TOPOGRAPHY ON THE SITE, WHICH CREATES SORT OF UNIQUE SITUATION WITH THIS APPLICATION. THIS SLIDE HERE IS SHOWING OUR APPROVED PRELIMINARY PLAT OVERLAID ON THE SITE IN DIFFERENT COLORS. SO YELLOW IS THE RIGHT AWAY. ALL THE TREES THAT RIGHT AWAY HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR REMOVAL THROUGH OUR APPROVED PRELIMINARY PLAT. THE PINK IS PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENTS AND THE GREEN IS THE BUILDING PAD. NORMALLY, AS YOU KNOW YOU'D COME IN LATER AND TREES REMOVED AND YOU GET BUILDING PERMIT. BUT GIVEN THE TOPOGRAPHY ON THE SITE, WE'RE SORT OF DOING THAT NOW. SO RATHER THAN GETTING APPROVAL TO REMOVE THE TREES THAT ARE IN THE RIGHT OF WAY TO CUT THE

[00:10:03]

AND WE'RE REMOVING LESS THAN THAT. AND ADDITIONALLY, ONE OTHER THING WE DID IS WE WORKED WITH OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT TO DO A TREE CANOPY ANALYSIS. AND WHAT WE DETERMINED IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE REMOVING ABOUT 314,000FT■!S OF TREE CANOPY ON E SITE. HOWEVER, WITH THE NUMBER OF TREES WE'RE PLANNING ON THIS SITE, EXCLUDING THE MITIGATION FEES AND WHERE THOSE WHAT THOSE ARE USED FOR AND WHERE THOSE TREES GO. JUST LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WITH THE TREES THAT WE'RE PLANTING ON SITE AT MATURITY, THE TREE CANOPY AT THIS SITE WILL EXCEED THE TREE CANOPY THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS. AND WITH THIS, WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS, AS IS OUR CIVIL ENGINEER AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. THANK YOU. GREAT.

THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, WE'LL ENTER INTO DISCUSSION. I'LL START WITH COMMISSIONER MORALES.

YEAH. I GUESS IT WOULD BE NICE IN THE PACKAGE IN THE FUTURE IF WE COULD HAVE AN EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY CHART OR LIKE ONE THAT INCLUDED IT. SO I COULD SEE, LIKE, BEFORE. AND I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAIN SITES HAVE DIFFERENT CHALLENGES, BUT I DO KNOW EVERY DAY WHEN I'M IN MY WALK AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY'RE CLEAR CUTTING A NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NEXT TO US, AND ALL MY NEIGHBORS COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME, LIKE, HOW ARE WE LOOKING AT THIS? LIKE, THEY COULDN'T SAY ANY TREES. AND I HEAR THIS FROM MY NEIGHBORS ALL THE TIME, AND I'M JUST TRYING TO SPEAK FROM MANY OF THE CITIZENS. LEANDER, I KNOW WHEN YOU CLEARCUT SUCH A LARGE PIECE OF PROPERTY, IT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ASK, WHAT DID WE DO TO TRY TO SAVE IT? YOU KNOW, I KNOW Y'ALL ARE TRYING TO SAVE SOME IN THE PERIMETER, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE A VERY OPTIMIZED LAYOUT TO ME. AS SOMEBODY WHO DOES DESIGN AND KNOWS HOW TO LAYOUT SITES AND SITE DESIGN. SO IS THERE A DIFFERENT WAY? SO I GUESS FROM MY ASPECT, I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT REMOVING THIS MANY TREES. YOU KNOW, IT DOES LOOK LIKE A VERY OPTIMAL LAYOUT FOR MAXIMIZING HOMES, BUT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE A FEW MORE TREES. THAT'S ALL. ALL RIGHT, COMMISSIONER COATES, NO COMMENT AT THIS TIME. VICE CHAIR, I APPRECIATE THE SLIDES ON THE TOPOGRAPHY BECAUSE NORMALLY I WOULDN'T VOTE TO REMOVE AROUND 87% OF THE TREES. BUT SEEING THAT AND THE EXPLANATION DID HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE CONSTRAINTS YOU'RE WORKING UNDER AND THE STEPS YOU'RE TAKING TO REPLACE THEM. SO I WILL RELUCTANTLY VOTE YES, BECAUSE I DO LIKE IT'S JUST A LARGE PERCENTAGE FOR ME. I'M KIND OF A TREE HUGGER, BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT SLIDE. COMMISSIONER BRAY. NO COMMENTS FROM ME. SO MY MY ONLY THING IS MORE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE THING ON PAGE 40 OF OUR PACKET AND PAGE 69 OF OUR PACKET OR BOTH SHEET TENS.

THEY'RE IDENTICAL EXCEPT FOR THE MITIGATION PLAN. ONE IS $654,975. AND THE ONE THAT WE HEARD TONIGHT WAS THE $630,375, AND IT'S ALL DUE TO THE 8 TO 18 INCH SIGNIFICANT TREE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT NUMBERS. SO IF WE VOTE, WHICH ONE ARE WE VOTING FOR? I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR WHEN WE'RE DOING THAT. BECAUSE AGAIN, THERE'S THEY'RE IDENTICAL THINGS, BUT THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT IN THEIR NUMBERS. WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.

[00:15:22]

WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT FOR A SECOND OKAY. SO YEAH. ALL RIGHT. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. SO IN OUR PACKET IT'S PAGES 40 AND PAGE 69 I'M LOOKING AT SHEET TEN. SO IT'S THE TREE PROTECTION PLAN SHEET THAT YOU KNOW IT'S THE THE ONE THAT TALKS ABOUT PERCENTAGES AND THE MITIGATION PLANS. SO I JUST. YOU CAN SEE THIS IS JUST CHECK THE DATES RIGHT NOW. IT'S ALL RIGHT ON THIS PAGE. SO THAT'S WHERE WE WANT TO GO. SO THIS IS WHAT IS. ON SHEETS HERITAGE. SO THE ITEM ON PAGE 40 IS CORRECT. SO IT'S THAT 630,375 OKAY. THAT'S FINE. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FROM ANYONE.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND MOTION BY VICE CHAIR LANDGREBE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER COATES. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AND OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT. IT PASSES 4 TO 1.

COMMISSIONER MORALES, DID YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHY YOU OPPOSITION. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE LAYING OUT A SITE, I'D SEE WHERE THE BIG HERITAGE TREES ARE. IT LOOKS LIKE THE STREETS ARE DRAWN BASED ON PROPERTY BOUNDARIES AND NOT ON REAL ELEMENTS THAT EXISTED IN THE REAL WORLD. AND INSTEAD OF IMAGINARY LINES THAT WE CREATED. SO I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF MAYBE SOME OF THE STREETS OR A COUPLE OF LOTS WERE COMPROMISED, MAYBE 1 OR 2, JUST TO SAVE A COUPLE OF THE HERITAGE TREES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU SIR. MOVING ON TO

[14. Discuss and consider action regarding Tree Removal Case TRP-25-0043 regarding the removal of multiple Significant and Heritage Trees associated with the Harvest Retreat (SD-24-0196), more particularly described by Williamson County Central Appraisal District Parcel R680242, and commonly known as 14751 Ronald W Reagan Boulevard, Leander, Williamson County, Texas.]

I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SKIP THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT MERELY WENT THROUGH THE LAST ONE OF HOW WE DO THE REMOVALS AND MITIGATION. I'M GOING TO SKIP TO THE APPLICANT'S MITIGATION PROPOSAL. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REMOVE 1016 SIGNIFICANT TREES BETWEEN 8 TO 18IN, WHICH IS 65%. TODAY, WE'RE REVIEWING NINE SIGNIFICANT TREES BETWEEN 18 TO 26, TOTALING 74% AND ONE HERITAGE TREE BEING 47%. MITIGATION IS PROPOSED THROUGH THE CREDIT OF 371 CALIPER INCHES OF REPLACEMENT TREES, AS WELL AS A PAYMENT IN LIEU FOR THE REPLACEMENT TREES. IN THE AMOUNT OF THIS SHOULD BE 48,000. THOSE ARE DISCREPANCY ON HOW THEY CALCULATED THE FEES. THERE IS A HERITAGE TREE REMOVAL FEE AS WELL, IN THE AMOUNT OF 8100, BASED OFF OF THE REMOVAL OF THOSE 27 CALIPER INCHES AT A RATE OF $300 PER INCH, THE MITIGATION FEES WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE PAID WITH A SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT IF APPROVED.

THE CURRENT ZONING OF THIS AREA IS THE CREEKS EDGE PUD HAS A ZONING OF LOCAL OFFICE AND SINGLE FAMILY TOWNHOMES. THE PROPERTY IS GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF RONALD REAGAN AND SOUTH OF NILES DRIVE. IT'S APPROXIMATELY JUST UNDER TEN ACRES, AND IT'S SURROUNDED BY MULTIFAMILY ON THE NORTH AND UNDEVELOPED LAND ON THE SOUTH. AS PART OF THE EVALUATION, THE COMMISSION HAS THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS. YOU CAN APPROVE THE REMOVAL REQUEST, DENY THE REQUEST, OR PROPOSE AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN THAT INCLUDES SAVING ADDITIONAL TREES. WE

[00:20:03]

COMMISSIONER COOK. NO COMMENT. COMMISSIONER MORALES, NO COMMENT ON THIS ONE. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. AND I HAVE NO COMMENTS FOR THIS ONE. SO THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. SO SO THIS IS A REGULAR AGENDA ITEM. SO GENERALLY WE DON'T HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS. BUT I'M NOT ONE FOR SHUTTING DOWN SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK. SO I'LL GO BACK THROUGH THE COMMISSIONERS IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AFTER GENTLEMAN SPEAKS. SO IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK SIR, YOU YOU CAN CERTAINLY COME ON UP. YOU. YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE AND YOU WOULD NEED TO STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND YOU'D HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. AND ONCE YOU'RE DONE, YOU'LL GET A CARD TO FILL OUT. JUST SO WE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR NAME IS ENTERED INTO THE 702 REVIEW DRIVE. LEANDER. BEEN HERE ABOUT 32 YEARS, I GUESS.

NOW I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT GOING ON. I HEAR ABOUT THE TREES. I HEAR THE GENTLEMAN WHO JUST LEFT. YOU KNOW, NOT NO ONE HAS ASKED WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN EXCEPT FOR THAT GENTLEMAN TO THE, YOU KNOW, AREA WHILE THESE TREES ARE GROWING. YES. EVENTUALLY, IF THOSE TREES SURVIVE. RIGHT. AND THEN BASICALLY I DON'T HEAR ANY DISCUSSION. ALSO, MAYBE THIS WAS ONLY DISCUSSIONS OF TREES, BUT LIVING HERE, THE REASON I CAME HERE IS BECAUSE OF THE RAILROAD CROSSING AND THE 50 MILE. BUT LIVING HERE I SEE TRAFFIC GETTING WORSE, WATER GETTING SCARCE. RIGHT? AND I SEE THE TOWN RIGHT IS BASICALLY BASING IS GROWING VERY, VERY RAPIDLY. BUT ALSO BASICALLY IT BASES ITS INCOME BASED ON FEES CHARGED TO THESE GENTLEMEN, THESE PEOPLE. AND I'M WONDERING WHERE DOES IT STOP? I MEAN, WHERE IS THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE COME INTO PLAY? THE TREES ARE IMPORTANT. I MEAN, IT'S IT'S WE ARE. WE'RE GROWING INTO A FROM OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NO LONGER A RANCH AREA, RIGHT.

MUTANS NO LONGER EXIST. IT DOESN'T FIT THE CURRENT POPULATION. BUT WE ARE GROWING FROM A TOWN THAT WAS FAIRLY PRETTY TO A TOWN THAT'S A BUNCH OF COMPLEXES, APARTMENT COMPLEXES WITH NOT ENOUGH WATER, NOT ENOUGH INFRASTRUCTURE, TAXI SUPPORT THAT. I MEAN, THE TRAFFIC HERE IS GETTING ALMOST AS BAD AS FORT WORTH, SO I'D JUST LIKE TO WONDER WHERE MR. MORALES HAD SOME COMMENTS. I WAS LIKE TO WONDER WHEN YOU GUYS DISCUSS THESE THINGS, IF YOU DISCUSS HOW THAT IMPACTS ALL THE CURRENT RESIDENTS, THE ONES WHO'VE BEEN HERE 31 YEARS OR MORE. RIGHT? THANK YOU, THANK YOU SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? ALRIGHT. SEEING NONE, I WILL OPEN IT BACK UP FOR DISCUSSION. IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING THEY WANTED TO SAY. COMMISSIONER MORALES. OKAY, BUT. OR I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. WHICHEVER. MOTION. OKAY, SO SINCE NO ONE WANTS EMOTION ON THE TREE CASES, WHICH NO ONE EVER DOES, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION BY MYSELF AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BRAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. IT PASSES

[15. Discuss and consider action regarding Tree Removal Case TRP-25-0045 regarding the removal of multiple Significant and Heritage Trees associated with the Titan Commerce Center (SD-25-0379), more particularly described by Williamson County Central Appraisal District Parcels R031580 and R555207, and generally located to the northeast of the intersection of CR 270 and Hero Way, Leander, Williamson County, Texas.]

[00:25:08]

ONE THING WE'VE DONE, AND I THINK WE'VE JUST KIND OF WANT TO ILLUSTRATE HERE, IS WE'VE WORKED THROUGH MANY OPTIONS. AND, YOU KNOW, FROM AN INDUSTRIAL PARK STANDPOINT, THERE'S A LOT THERE'S SEVERAL LIMITATIONS. WE WE DEAL WITH IN TERMS OF BUILDING SIZE AND FOOTPRINT AND ALSO THE ACCESSIBILITY TO THE SITE. SO CHALKBOARDS, DOCS, UTILITY REQUIREMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. YOU SEE HERE WE THIS IS OUR 13TH OPTION OF THIS. AND WE'VE TRIED TO WORK AROUND BOTH TOPOGRAPHY AS WELL AS THE TREES AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, CREATING AN ECONOMICALLY VIABLE PROJECT THAT HOPEFULLY CAN BRING JOBS TO THE CITY OF LEANDER. AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS IS KIND OF THE FIRST STEP IN MANY PARTS OF THIS PROJECT, THESE FIRST TWO BUILDINGS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER WITH THE RED SQUARE JUST KIND OF HIGHLIGHT WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT TODAY. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, JUST TO KIND OF HIT ON THOSE ITEMS AGAIN, YOU KNOW, OUR SITES ARE SET UP TO CREATE FLEXIBILITY TO RESPOND TO TENANT DEMANDS, TO HOPEFULLY BRING JOBS TO THIS AREA. THE THE BUILDING DESIGN, THE DOCK FACILITIES, THE UTILITY REQUIREMENTS ARE SET UP TO FACILITATE THAT, BUT ALSO TAKE CERTAIN SPACE REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT SEE ON A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT. AND THEN ALSO THE VEHICLE CIRCULATION. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A MIX OF VEHICLES, MUCH LARGER VEHICLES, TRUCK TRAFFIC AS WELL AS AUTO VEHICLES AND SO BLENDING THOSE AND THEN WITH ANY INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND I THINK SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR PROJECTS WITH TITAN AND THEIR TEAM, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE DONE SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL PARKS AROUND HERE, AND MANY OF THOSE ARE BLENDING THE EXISTING SITE FEATURES IN THE BUILDING FUNCTION, KIND OF WITH OUR PROJECTS AND HOW THIS IS GOING TO TALK THROUGH KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO TRY TO DO TO TAKE SOME OF THAT EXISTING SITE AND MAGNIFY IT WITH OUR BUILDING DESIGN AND SITE LAYOUT TO TO MINIMIZE OUR IMPACT KIND OF TO THE THE TREE REMOVAL OVERALL. YEAH. THANKS, KIP. SO AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS OUR CURRENT SITE PLAN. IT SHOWS KIND OF A ILLUSTRATIVE LANDSCAPE RENDERING OF THE PLANTINGS THAT WE'LL SEE ON THE SITE, AS WELL AS THE TREES THAT ARE BEING REMOVED AND THOSE THAT ARE BEING SAVED. SO I'M GOING TO TAKE US A FEW STEPS BACK TO AN OPTION OR THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN THAT WE HAVE, AND SOME DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WE WORKED THROUGH IN OUR PROCESS. SO THERE ARE A FEW KEY ELEMENTS HERE. NOTED ONE, TWO, AND THREE OF DESIGN ITERATIONS THAT WE WORKED THROUGH IN ORDER TO AVOID IMPACTS TO THE TREES ON SITE, ONE OF THOSE BEING REALIGNMENT OF THE SANITARY SEWER LINE TO SERVE THE PROPERTY, REMOVAL OF SOME PARKING SPACES, AND REALIGNMENT OF THE WATER LINE ALONG COUNTY ROAD 270. SO THE FIRST OF THAT BEING THE REALIGNMENT OF THE SANITARY SEWER LINE, THE SEWER LINE IS COMING TO SERVE THE PROPERTY AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE AND COMES

[00:30:06]

I APPRECIATE YOUR OPTION TWO THERE. HOW Y'ALL SITE ADAPTED TO KEEP THE TREES. THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF FEATURES THAT I HOPE THAT MOST MORE DEVELOPERS WILL TRY TO REACT TO AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT DESIGN CAN REACT TO REAL LIFE AND REAL WORLD CONDITIONS. SO I APPRECIATE Y'ALL TAKING THE TIME TO PRESERVE THAT AND MAKE IT AN AMENITY FOR YOUR COMPLEX.

THAT'S ALL. COMMISSIONER COATES. YES. NO COMMENT AT THIS TIME. VICE CHAIR I AGREE AND ECHO MR. COMMISSIONER MORALES COMMENTS. COMMISSIONER BRAY NO COMMENTS AT THIS TIME. AND I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING THAT COMMISSIONER MORALES SAID. SO I APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU DID TO TRY TO MITIGATE WHAT YOU CAN AND THEN USE THE EXISTING, YOU KNOW, NATURE TO CREATE A FUTURE FOR EMPLOYEES, FUTURE TENANTS AND EMPLOYEES. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT THING. THIS THING IS GOING TO BENEFIT EVERYONE. SO WITH THAT, THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY VICE CHAIR AND THE SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BRAY.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WITH THAT WE'RE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 16 WITH ADJOURNMENT. THE TIME IS 6:34 P.M. AND WE
