CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ACTION ON SUBDIVISION CASE FP-25-0233. TO APPROVE THE GLORY HILL SUBDIVISION. FINAL PLAT ON FOUR PARCELS OF LAND. APPROXIMATELY 15.45 ACRES IN SIZE. MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED BY WILLIAMSON CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT PARCELS.

R568149, R551919, R082172, AND R08217. GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE EASTERN TERMINUS OF PRIVATE ROAD. 921 LEANDER WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS. STAFF PRESENTATION. GOOD EVENING.

COMMISSION. THIS IS. THIS REQUEST IS A FINAL STEP IN THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REPLAT THE EXISTING LOTS ONE, TWO AND THREE OF GLORY HILL AMENDED FINAL PLAT INTO 43 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, ONE HOA DRAINAGE LOT AND TWO ACCESS LOTS. SINCE THE REPLAT INCLUDES AREA THAT WAS LIMITED TO RESIDENTIAL ZONING WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS FOR A PUBLIC HEARING PURSUANT TO SECTION 212 005 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, APPROVAL BY A MUNICIPALITY IS REQUIRED SINCE THE SHORT FORM FINAL PLAT SATISFIES THE APPLICABLE REGULATIONS WITHOUT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES. THIS PROPOSAL MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND STAFF RECOMMENDS TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT WITH THE CONDITIONS LISTED. I'LL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY. IS THE APPLICANT PRESENTATION OKAY? NO. GREAT. SO AT THIS TIME WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE HAVE SOME CARDS HERE. WE ALSO HAD SOME COMMENTS SUBMITTED ONLINE, BUT THEY WANTED THOSE IN THE RECORD.

THEY WILL BE ON THE RECORD. THEY JUST DON'T GET READ INTO THE RECORD. BUT I WILL CALL UP THE FIRST PERSON, ANITA CHUMANEVICH. MISS CHUMANEVICH, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE JUST SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. ANITA, 708 PALAMOS DRIVE. I SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE MARBELLA HOA BOARD, AND I WANT TO BEGIN WITH A REAL EXAMPLE. I JUST HEARD FROM ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER OF THE HAZELWOOD COMMUNITY.

THEIR RESIDENTS EXPERIENCED SERIOUS DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AFTER AN APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT WAS BUILT NEXT TO THEM. THE ISSUE BECAME SO SIGNIFICANT THAT A RETAINING WALL EVENTUALLY HAD TO BE INSTALLED TO ADDRESS IT. BUT THAT ONLY HAPPENED AFTER THE HOA SPENT MORE THAN A YEAR PUSHING THE CITY TO RESPOND. THAT IS THE PATTERN RESIDENTS HAVE SEEN BEFORE. REACTIVE

[00:05:06]

RESPONSIBILITY A PROBLEM OCCURS, RESIDENTS SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES, AND ONLY AFTER A PROLONGED PRESSURE DOES ACTION GET TAKEN. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO ASK FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

I'M ASKING FOR A PROACTIVE DECISION TO PROTECT OUR RESIDENTS BEFORE THE DRAINAGE IS DAMAGE IS DONE. MARBELLA IS ALREADY LIVING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF POOR DRAINAGE PLANNING FROM PRIOR DEVELOPMENT. THOSE PROBLEMS WERE APPROVED, BUILT AND THEN LEFT FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO ENDURE. NOW, GLORIA HILL IS BEING DEVELOPED UPHILL FROM US AND WE ARE ALREADY SEEING MAJOR DRAINAGE CONCERNS BECAUSE OF THE ELEVATION DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT DEVELOPMENT AND OURS. HOMES IN THE PROJECT BACKED DIRECTLY INTO OUR COMMUNITY, AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NO MEANINGFUL GUARANTEE IN WRITING THAT RUNOFF FROM THAT DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT AFFECT MARBELLA. CITY STANDARDS SAY THAT DRAINAGE CONDITIONS IMPACTING ADJACENT PROPERTY SHOULD NOT WORSEN BECAUSE OF NEW DEVELOPMENT. BUT FROM WHAT WE ARE ALREADY SEEING ON THE GROUND, THAT STANDARD IS NOT GIVING US CONFIDENCE, IT IS GIVING US CONCERN BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THE CITY WILL WAIT UNTIL THERE IS DAMAGE AND THEN RESPOND REACTIVELY, OR WHETHER IT WILL ACT NOW PROACTIVELY TO PREVENT HARM. FOR OUR EXISTING HOMEOWNERS. WE'RE ASKING FOR TWO THINGS BEFORE THE FINAL PLAT APPROVAL MOVES FORWARD. FIRST, A WRITTEN AND CREDIBLE DRAINAGE PLAN SHOWING EXACTLY HOW THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL PREVENT NEGATIVE DRAINAGE IMPACTS TO THE MARBELLA COMMUNITY. SECOND, A REQUIREMENT FOR ATTENTION WALL OR OTHER STRUCTURAL MITIGATION ALONG THE FULL, FULLY SHARED BOUNDARY OF OUR COMMUNITY SO THAT PROTECTION IS BUILT IN FROM THE START, NOT NEGOTIATED AFTER THE FACT. OUR RESIDENTS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FLOODING, EROSION OR PROPERTY DAMAGE BEFORE SYSTEMS TAKES THEIR CONCERNS SERIOUSLY. WE HAVE SEEN REACTIVE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE AND TONIGHT I'M ASKING YOU TO CHOOSE PROACTIVE PROTECTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MA'AM. NEXT I HAVE ELLIOT ZINGER. IF I MISPRONOUNCED THAT, SIR. OH, GOOD. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE JUST SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE. YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES, SIR. YES, SIR. ELLIOT, MY ADDRESS IS 908 ELM AREA BEND. I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS A COUPLE THINGS ADD ON WITH ANITA WAS TALKING ABOUT.

SO THERE'S THREE THINGS IN PARTICULAR THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT. I ACTUALLY LOST TEN IN THIS DIAGRAM THAT BACKS DIRECTLY UP TO THE NEW PLAT FOR GLORY HILL. AND THERE'S THREE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS THAT I THINK ARE WERE KIND OF LIKE TO BE ADDRESSED OR BE LOOKED INTO. SO FIRST IS THE TEXAS WATER CODE 11 .086 THAT NO PERSON MAY DIVERT OR IMPOUND THE NATURAL FLOW OF SURFACE WATERS IN A MANNER THAT DAMAGES THE PROPERTY OF ANOTHER GRADING THAT CHANGES NATURAL FLOW, DIRECTS DIRECTLY ONTO MY YARD. AND WHEREAS ANITA WAS TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY THAT, I WAS DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THAT. ON APRIL THE 2ND AND ON THE FOURTH, WE'VE HAD SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IN OUR BACKYARD, INCLUDING SEDIMENT THAT'S CAUSED DAMAGE DUE TO THE PLAT CHANGES THERE. ON TOP OF THAT, THE OTHER THING THAT I'D LIKE TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARITY ON IS IF WE HAVE A PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION FOR DRAINAGE FOR THAT PLAT, BECAUSE ENOUGH OF THE ELEVATION WAS CHANGED, THAT THE STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN SHOULD BE ON ON RECORD. SO I'D LIKE THAT TO BE LOOKED UP FROM THE BOARD IF YOU COULD DO THAT, OR IF THE COMMISSION COULD LOOK INTO THAT. AND THEN LASTLY, THE CITY'S OWN SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, WHICH IS THAT A DEVELOPMENT MUST NOT ALTER THE NATURAL FLOW OF SURFACE WATER TO DISCHARGE ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES, MORE RAPID OR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THAN PREVIOUSLY DEPLOYED, PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED CONDITIONS AND BEARS THE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF CITY APPROVAL TO NOT RELEASE OR DOES NOT RELIEVE THEM HARM OF OF MAKING THAT THOSE CHANGES. SO I'D REALLY LIKE PEOPLE TO LOOK INTO THAT BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPACTING, I KNOW, NOT JUST MYSELF, BUT ALSO ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS ON ELM AREA. AND THEN I THINK AS WELL ON THE ADJACENT SIDES. AND WE'VE ALSO SEEN THE RUNOFF COMING THROUGH ALL THE NATURAL STREAMS THAT ARE KIND OF COMING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT IS LEAVING PRETTY BAD CONSTRUCTION SEDIMENT AND DEBRIS THERE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MISTER SINGER. KRISHNA RAJ. YES, SIR. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE JUST SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. YES, SIR. MY NAME IS KRISHNARAJ ETHIRAJAN. THAT'S MY LAST NAME. I LIVE IN 920 TOBACCO DRIVE. SAME COMMUNITY. MARBELLA COMMUNITY. MY. MY HOUSE IS RIGHT BEHIND THE CONSTRUCTION THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. SIGNIFICANTLY, THE LAND HAS BEEN ELEVATED. WE HAVE EXPRESSED OUR CONCERNS. WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE BUILDER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. WE'VE EXPRESSED CONCERNS. MY CONCERN INITIALLY WAS A LOT OF DUST AND POLLUTION THAT WAS HAPPENING FROM THE CONSTRUCTION. WE HAD A LOT OF DEBRIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES.

[00:10:03]

THEY WERE MULCHING AND MULCHING HAPPENED VERY CLOSE TO MY BACKYARD. LITERALLY ALL THE DUST, THE WOODEN DUST, AND EVERYTHING WAS LITERALLY IN MY BACKYARD. IT WAS A SERIOUS HEALTH CONCERN FOR MY DAUGHTER. I HAVE A FIVE YEAR OLD, A TODDLER. SHE HAS ALLERGIES, FOOD ALLERGIES, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGIES. AND IT LITERALLY, YOU KNOW, EXACERBATED THINGS FOR US, WHICH IS WHICH IS OF A DEEP CONCERN. AND NOW, BECAUSE OF THE LAND THAT'S BEING ELEVATED, THERE IS A LOT OF DRAINAGE PROBLEMS. WE RECENTLY HAD RAINS, RIGHT. AND WE HAD SERIOUS, YOU KNOW, WATER STAGNATION THAT IS HAPPENING IN MY BACKYARD. SO I WOULD REALLY I MEAN, IT'S JUST NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME. I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S A ISSUE FOR A LOT OF US IN OUR COMMUNITY AND ESPECIALLY I'M VERY CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE, RIGHT? THERE MIGHT BE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING A LITTLE FAR AWAY WHO MIGHT BE A LITTLE COMFORTABLE, BUT I'M REALLY VERY CLOSE TO IT. AND I'M IN IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, RIGHT. AND I GET TO SEE IT AND I WITNESS IT EVERY DAY, RIGHT? SO ANYTHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE TEAM COULD DO TO REALLY ELEVATE THAT CONCERN AND HELP US, RIGHT, AND GIVE US A PROPER DRAINAGE SYSTEM PLAN SO THAT WE CAN CONFIDENTLY LIVE IN OUR HOMES. RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, SIR. CRYSTAL TORRES.

YES, MA'AM. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE JUST SPEAK YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. I AM CRYSTAL TORRES. MY ADDRESS IS 1816 TABARKA DRIVE. I WASN'T PLANNING TO SPEAK, BUT I AM HERE, SO. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE ALL OF THE TREES WERE, LIKE, TAKEN OFF. I THOUGHT THE CITY OF LEANDER HAS SOME LIKE RULES REGARDING TREES, AND IT WAS SAD TO SEE LIKE ALL THE TREES IN THE BACK, THEY'RE GOING AWAY, RIGHT. BUT THAT'S DONE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE DRAINAGE ISSUE. SO THE THE BACK HAS BEEN FILLED WITH DIRT AND IT, IT IS LIKE, LIKE A, LIKE THE FENCE HEIGHT. SO MY CONCERN IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN, RIGHT? IF, IF THE RETAINER WALL IS NOT DONE PROPERLY, WHAT WILL HAPPEN? WE WERE LUCKY. OUR NEIGHBORS IN ALMERIA WEREN'T WHEN WE HAD THE LAST RAIN. THEY HAVE ALL THE DIRT IN THEIR BACKYARDS. SO THAT IS REALLY MY MAIN CONCERN. IF WE CAN GET INVOLVED ON THE PLANS FOR THE RETAINING WALL, WE WANT IT TO, YOU KNOW, DOING THE RIGHT WAY TO AVOID POTENTIAL ISSUES THAT WE CAN HAVE LATER AND JUST LEFT US WITH, WITH THAT ISSUE. SO I MEAN, THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MA'AM. AND I DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTER INTO DISCUSSIONS, STARTING WITH COMMISSIONER MORALES. YEAH. MY QUESTION IS FOR THE CITY. I ASSUME EVERY I GUESS, PART OF THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT. THEY HAVE EROSION CONTROL PLAN, I GUESS, IS THE NORMAL PROCESS FOR THE CITIZENS. IF IF THEY'RE NOT MEETING WHAT'S STATED IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION PLAN OR PROPERTY, DO THEY DO CODE ENFORCEMENT GO DO THEY GO OUT VERY OFTEN TO REVIEW THESE THINGS? IF THEY GET COMPLAINTS FROM THE. SO YEAH, THE EROSION CONTROL PLAN WOULD BE PART OF THE ACTUAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CONSTRUCTION PLAN SET. AND WE HAVE A CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR THAT'S ASSIGNED TO EVERY P I C P PROJECT THAT REGULARLY INSPECTS THAT AND KIND OF ENFORCES THOSE REGULATIONS. SO. AND ARE WE SEEING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW THAT DOESN'T FOLLOW? TYPICAL. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME CONCERN ABOUT DUST AS PART OF THE GRADING AND THE CONTRACTOR DEVELOPER AND OUR CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR PARTICIPATE IN A MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEY'VE BEEN MAKING CHANGES TO TRY TO ADDRESS IT. THEY'VE ADDED MORE WATER TRUCKS AS PART OF THE PROCESS, BUT THEY'VE HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON. SO THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO HELP. OKAY, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER LEWIS. NO QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. COMMISSIONER COATES. OKAY. GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT CAME OUT TO GIVE COMMENTS FROM THE COMMUNITY. JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY. THE FIRST ONE IS JUST KIND OF, FOR THE RECORD, READING THROUGH THE THE PACKET FOR THIS. IT STATES HERE THAT CONDITIONS LISTED FOR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE REGARDING THE ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL, FINAL IMPROVEMENT. AND I'M SORRY, OR POSTING A FISCAL ASSURANCE ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET. CAN YOU CLARIFY WHICH ONE

[00:15:05]

THAT WE'RE PROCEEDING WITH FOR GLORIA HILL? SO THIS IS FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT.

SINCE IT WAS PLATTED WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS AS A ZONED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, THEY'RE REPLATTING IT, WHICH FOR CITY POLICY WOULD REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING. SO THAT GIVES.

BUT PURSUANT TO THE SECTION TWO 1205 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, THE APPROVAL BY THE MUNICIPALITY IS REQUIRED SINCE THE SHORT FORM FINAL PLAT SATISFIES ALL THE APPLICABLE REGULATIONS, AND THEY'RE NOT REQUESTING ANY VARIANCES. SO TO THE PORTION YOU'RE SPEAKING ABOUT, ALL CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE REGARDING THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE FINAL IMPROVEMENTS OR THE POSTING OF THE FISCAL ASSURANCE. THAT'S A CONDITION BECAUSE THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE STILL ONGOING. SO ONCE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE ACTUALLY COMPLETED, WE WILL BE ABLE TO BRING THAT TO COUNCIL FOR ACCEPTANCE. IF THEY'RE NOT DONE, THEY CAN POST FISCAL FOR THAT. SO, SO FROM MY UNDERSTANDING OF IT IS THAT EITHER THE CITY ENGINEER HAS TO SIGN OFF ON IT OR THERE HAS TO BE SOME FISCAL SURETY WHILE IN THAT PROCESS. SO I'M ASKING, WHICH ONE OF THE TWO ARE WE PROCEEDING WITH FOR THIS PARTICULAR ACTION? WELL, THAT WOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE WHATEVER, WHATEVER ONE THEY DO. SO IT'S NOT ONE THAT YOU'RE AGREEING TO YET. IT'S ONE THAT'S A CONDITION THEY HAVE TO DO EITHER OR FOR THIS TO MAKE A CHOICE. SO IF THEY DECIDE THEY WANT TO FINISH THE IMPROVEMENTS TO GET THEIR PLAT RECORDED, THEY'LL FINISH THE WORK. BUT IF THEY WANT TO START SELLING THE LOTS, THAT'S WHEN THEY POST THE FISCAL. SO THEY GET THAT OPTION IN THIS ITEM. SO THEY'RE JUST FINISHING THEIR PUBLIC HEARING STUFF RIGHT NOW. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. AND THEN ALSO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD MEMBERS FROM THE PUBLIC AVAILABLE TO SPEAK. HAD THE DEVELOPER BEEN GIVEN THE SAME, YOU KNOW, COURTESY OF WE'RE MEETING TODAY. YOU CAN SHOW UP AT THIS TIME AND YOU CAN PRESENT YOUR CASE. YEAH. OKAY. THAT'S IT. THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. COMMISSIONER. OLIVER. YEAH. MR. HUNT, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, AS FAR AS THE, YOU KNOW, SITE INSPECTION GOES, HOW OFTEN DOES THE CITY GO OUT AND INSPECT THE SITE JUST TO MAKE SURE ALL THE EROSION CONTROL MEASURES AND THINGS THAT ARE DONE TO MITIGATE ANY IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IS, IS, IS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND, AND DOING ITS JOB, YOU KNOW, IT'S STILL EFFECTIVE. SO THE, THE GC, AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, THE GC ALWAYS HAS TO BE IN COMMUNICATION WITH OUR CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR THAT'S ASSIGNED TO THIS. IT WOULD BE I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT TIMING OF WHEN THEY GO OUT AND INSPECT, BUT I KNOW BEFORE THE PERMIT IS ISSUED, WE REQUIRE PROPER EROSION CONTROL. OUR SET UP AND INSPECTED BY OUR STORMWATER COORDINATOR. THAT'S ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS BEFORE THEY CAN EVEN HAVE A PRE-CON. AND THEN THROUGHOUT THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, IF ANY OF IT'S DAMAGED, IT HAS TO BE MITIGATED IMMEDIATELY. GOT IT, GOT IT.

AND THE ROAD GOING IN I NOTICED ON EASTWOOD VIEW IS THAT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THE CITY OF LEANDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSTRUCTING, OR IS THIS DEVELOPMENT AN AGREEMENT TO CONSTRUCT THAT ROADWAY FOR THE FOR THIS FOR THIS HOUSING DEVELOPMENT? IT'S PART OF THE PIPE CONSTRUCTION PLAN SET. SO THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED BY THE DEVELOPER AND THEN LATER ON ACCEPTED AFTER INSPECTION. GOT IT. AND THEN YOU DID MENTION THAT WITH SOME OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT DUST IN THE AREA, THAT THAT THEY'VE BEEN BRINGING OUT ADDITIONAL WATER TRUCKS TO HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THE DUST AND KEEP IT FROM BEING. AZAM.

THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. I MEAN, ULTIMATELY, I LIKE, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING IS KIND OF BUILT IN PHASES. THE WHOLE TEAM LIKE TO THINK EVERYTHING COULD BE BUILT AT THE SAME TIME. IT'S JUST NOT REALISTIC. SO I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE THE DEVELOPER IS DOING EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO THE CITY REQUIREMENTS AND CITY GUIDELINES AND THAT THEY'RE ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO MAKE SOME ADDITIONAL MEASURES BY BRINGING OUT THE WATER TRUCKS. AND SO I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER BRAY. YES. SO I HAVE A QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW WHO'S THE PROPER ONE TO ANSWER IF IT CAN BE ANSWERED. BUT WE HEARD A LOT ABOUT DRAINAGE ISSUES AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS AND THOSE CONCERNS FROM THE RESIDENTS. AND I HEAR BRINGING IN EXTRA WATER TRUCKS. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND, ARE THERE DRAINAGE ISSUES TODAY OR ARE THEY CONCERNED ABOUT FUTURE ISSUES THAT ARE ARISING? I WANT TO BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL THAT THAT WAS TOTALLY CLEAR TO ME.

SO IF YOU HAVE OTHER. YEAH. SO SO AS I HEARD IT, IT'S BOTH RIGHT. IT'S FUTURE DRAINAGE ISSUES, BUT THERE'S ALSO BEEN SOME DIRT AS THEY PILE UP THE DIRT AND THEY BUILD FOR THE, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, THERE'S BEEN SOME RUNOFF THAT GOES INTO PEOPLE'S PROPERTIES AS WELL. SO

[00:20:02]

IT'S KIND OF TWO SEPARATE ISSUES THERE. IT'S KIND OF WHAT I'VE HEARD. AND I SEE SOME HEADS SHAKING. YES. SO I THINK I GOT IT RIGHT. SO THANK YOU. OKAY. OKAY. THEN MY NEXT QUESTION IS IF THAT'S THE CASE AND WE HAVE INSPECTORS THAT GO OUT THERE AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S BEING DONE THE WAY IT'S BEING IS MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS AND THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. SO THERE'S A GAP. SO WHAT'S THE GAP? WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE SOLUTION FOR THAT? WELL, WE'LL GO OFF OF OUR APPROVED DRAINAGE PLANS THAT ARE PART OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CONSTRUCTION SET. AND ONCE YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOTIFIED OF THE OF THE SITUATIONS THAT ARE ONGOING. SO THOSE MITIGATION STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN CARE OF RIGHT NOW OR AT LEAST WORK THROUGH. OKAY, WHAT ARE THOSE? SO THE INSPECTOR WILL GET WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND PROVIDE SOME SORT OF PLAN FOR THAT MITIGATION OF DRAINAGE. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE STEPS. I HAVEN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS, BUT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE INSPECTOR AND THE GC WOULD WORK THROUGH. AND THE CITIZENS THAT ARE AFFECTED ARE PART OF THAT CONVERSATION. I BELIEVE THEY HAD A MEETING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS. I THINK THE MEETING WAS ABOUT JUST THE ISSUES, BUT I THINK KARINA JUST GAVE HER CARD TO THEM SO WE CAN CONNECT THEM WITH OUR ENGINEERING TEAM. SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS WE DID A THERE WAS A DRAINAGE REPORT. AND SO THEY WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS TO REVIEW IT AND ENSURE THE PLANS MET IT. IF THERE'S AN ISSUE IN THE FIELD TODAY, WE'LL HAVE TO ADDRESS IT. SO THE ENGINEERS WILL HAVE TO GET TOGETHER AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING WRONG AND WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE. DOES THE BUILDER HAVE TO STOP WORK UNTIL THAT'S ADDRESSED, OR DO THEY GET TO CONTINUE AND DO WHAT THEY ARE DOING? WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH ENGINEERING, TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. SO IF THERE'S AN ISSUE THAT REQUIRES THEM TO STOP, WE'LL ASK THEM TO STOP.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CLARIFICATION. AND MY QUESTION IS GOING TO BE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR. SO, YOU KNOW, THE MR. CHEN BROUGHT UP THE REQUIREMENTS. I KNOW WE HAVE A APPROVED DRAINAGE PLANS, ETC. BUT AS AS THEY BRING IN CHANGES, ARE WE REVIEWING THAT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE MEETING T T E Q REQUIREMENTS? SORRY, TOO MANY WORDS. SO ANY CHANGE WILL COME THROUGH OUR CONSTRUCTION PLAN REVISION PROCESS AND WILL BE REVIEWED BY OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT FOLLOWS THE GUIDELINES. OKAY.

AND ANY CHANGES THAT ARE AFFECTING. Q THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM DIRECTLY BECAUSE WE DON'T REVIEW FOR TCE. Q OKAY, AND THEN MY MY LAST QUESTION IS JUST A GENERAL QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE ISSUES FROM CONSTRUCTION, RUNOFF, DEBRIS, ETC. WHERE, WHERE, WHERE WOULD THEY GO? WHERE WOULD A RESIDENT GO? WELL, THEY CAN START, YOU KNOW, BY REACHING OUT TO PLANNING, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO OURS. WE'RE KIND OF A HUB FOR THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS, BUT ALSO THEY CAN FILE CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINTS AS WELL. SO EITHER REACH OUT TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OR TO CODE ENFORCEMENT. I WANT TO GIVE THEM A DIRECT SHOT TO SOMEWHERE.

INSTEAD OF TRYING TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND FIGURE OUT WHERE DO THEY GO. SO ANYONE LISTENING OR, OR ANYONE PRESENT KNOWS HOW TO VOICE ANY CONCERN AROUND THAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? SO I WANT TO REITERATE THAT THIS IS ONE OF MY LEAST FAVORITE ITEM AGENDA TYPE ITEMS, WHICH IS WHY I PUSH REALLY HARD FOR FINAL PLANS TO MOVE TO STAFF APPROVAL, BECAUSE BY STATE, THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE IT. PLANNING AND ZONING IS NOT REQUIRED TO APPROVE ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CITY COUNCIL'S GOT TO DO IT ANYWAY. SO WE COULD SAY NO, BUT I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE DOING MY JOB IF I SAID, DON'T GO TO COUNCIL. OH, IT DOESN'T GO TO COUNCIL.

OH, NEVER MIND. THEN WE ARE THE FINAL SAY THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT UP. OKAY, SO THEN I GUESS THEN WE ARE TECHNICALLY REQUIRED TO PASS IT, BUT CAN I ENTERTAIN THEM? CAN I ASK ONE MORE QUESTION? YEAH. SO IF WE SAY NO, THEN WHAT HAPPENS? THE DEVELOPER CAN SUE THE CITY.

YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. BECAUSE IT'S A STATE MANDATED REQUIREMENT THAT WE APPROVE THIS. IT'S ALSO STATE MANDATED REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE AN OPEN HEARING, WHICH IS ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF COUNTERPRODUCTIVE FOR ME BECAUSE RESIDENTS TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS AND SAY THEY'RE AGAINST IT, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO APPROVE IT. SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT'S KIND OF A, A LOSE LOSE SITUATION FOR KIND OF EVERYONE HERE. SO WITH THAT, AND SINCE IT IS REQUIRED, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND. MOTION BY MYSELF AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER OLIVER. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE OPPOSED. OKAY. AND IT PASSES 4 TO 2 WITH COMMISSIONERS COATES AND BRAY AGAINST. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM 15. DISCUSS AND

[15.
