YOU MAY CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME.
THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM ONE 19 IS CONTINUED.
AND IF YOU ARE HERE, PLEASE, UH, COME UP TO THE FRONT.
STATE YOUR NAME, SPELL YOUR LAST NAME, AND WE'LL CONTINUE.
OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS SAMR SHAW.
I AM, I'M, UH, I'M JOINING IN ONLINE.
I JUST WANNA START OFF BY READING A FEW, UM, CITY ORDINANCE.
THE CITY DEFINES THE HOTEL AS BEING A BUILDING WHICH A PUBLIC MAY OBTAIN.
TRANSIENT SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS, EXPRESSLY INCLUDED TOURIST HOMES, HOUSES, OR ANY OTHER BUILDINGS THAT ARE WHERE TRANSIENT ROOMS ARE FURNISHED FOR A FEE.
SECTION 1 1 5 6 OF THE TEXAS CODE ESPECIALLY STATES THAT THIS IS A SHORT TERM RENTAL.
A SHORT TERM RENTAL IS A HOTEL.
DARL SHARPTON HAS TOLD US, TOLD THE CHRONICLE IN HOUSTON MAGAZINE THAT HE'S CREATING A HOSPITALITY BRAND.
THE SHARPTON STARTING AT B PLACE WHERE THESE HOUSES WILL BE SHORT TERM RENTALS.
HE'S TOLD US THAT HE WILL START WITH A $175 PER NIGHT FEE.
THESE HOUSES WILL BE HOTELS UNDER BOATS, STATE AND CITY LAW SECTION, UH, 28 DASH 2 0 2 A THREE OF CITY CODES PROHIBITS HOTELS FROM A A BUDDING RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND BEE PLACES ENTIRELY SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL HOMES.
THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION ABSOLUTELY REGULATE THE USE.
PLANNING HAS REQUIRED MR. SHARPTON TO RESTRICT THE USE OF REPLAY TO PLOT THESE, BUT THE HOTEL.
BUT, BUT A HOTEL IS NOT A RESIDENTIAL USE UNDER SECTION 28 DASH 20 OF THE CITY CODE, WHICH IS PERSONALLY EXCLUDES HOTELS FROM THE CITY'S DEFINITION OF, OF A RESIDENCE.
UH, ALSO TAKEN FROM DIRECTLY FROM HOUSTON, TEXAS DOT GOV'S WEBSITE.
PLANNING COMMISSION MUST APPROVE REPLAY IF IT MEETS ALL THE RULES ACCORDING TO CHAPTER 42, CHAPTER 42, SECTION 46 DEVELOPMENT, AN APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENTAL PLAT, UH, SHALL INCLUDE A A SITE PLAN ILLUSTRATING, UH, PARKING THAT MEETS THE APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS CHAPTER.
AND CHAPTER 26 OF THIS CODE, CHAPTER 26, UH, EXPRESSLY STATES THAT A HOTEL MUST REQUIRE, UM, ONE PARKING SPOT FOR EACH SLEEPING ROOM.
SO HAS MR. UH, MY QUESTION IS, MR. HAS MR. SHARP SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION
[00:30:01]
THAT SHOWS ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EACH BEDROOM? UM, YOU KNOW, AND, AND TO MR. SHAW TO SPEAK TO THESE, MR. SHAW, YOUR TIME IS UP.WHICH COULD YOU WRAP UP QUICKLY PLEASE? OKAY.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, UM, MY THOUGHT IS HERE, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THIS SHOULD BE APPROVED OR NOT, OR WHETHER IT BE FOR THE LEGALITIES, UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE, WE AS RESIDENTS HAVE NO RECOURSE.
IF THIS IS APPROVED, MR. SHARPTON CAN ALWAYS REAPPLY.
SO I, MY MY ASK IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS, BE A DISAPPROVED UNTIL THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A CLEAR PATH OF APPROVAL.
ALRIGHT, SIR, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ALRIGHT, OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS ANAKIN HEALTH STATER.
I APOLOGIZE IF I MIS PRONOUNCING.
MR. RAS, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
CAN YOU PUSH A BUTTON PLEASE? THANK YOU.
SO, DEAR COMMISSIONERS AND THE LEGAL TEAM.
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO, UH, REITERATE OUR EMPHATIC REQUEST THAT YOU CONSIDER THE LEGAL CODES REGARDING THE LOCATION OF HOTELS.
IN IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY OF RESIDENCIES, MR. SHARPNER HAS LEFT NO AMBIGUITY IN HIS PUBLIC STATEMENTS, WHICH REALLY AMOUNT TO ADVANCE ADVERTISING OF HIS INTENTION TO BUILD SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT HE WILL RENT OUT TO A LARGE TO LARGE GROUPS FOR A STATE OF $750 PER NIGHT.
IN HIS VIEW, THE HIGH PRICE ASSURES THAT HIS RENTERS WILL BE HIGH AND CUSTOMERS WHO WILL NOT COMPORT THEMSELVES IN DISTURBING WAYS.
THIS PRESUMPTION IS NOT WHAT WE QUESTION, THOUGH WE FIND IT DUBIOUS.
IT IS HIS OPENLY STATED INTENTION TO CREATE SMALL HOTELS WEDGED IN BETWEEN PRIVATE RESIDENCES THAT HE WILL RENT TO ROUTE TO LARGE GROUPS.
THE CITY APPEARS UNWILLING TO ENFORCE ITS OWN CODE AND WOULD APPEAR TO SUGGEST THAT ONCE THE LARGE GROUPS ARE ACTUALLY CAUSING DISRUPTION, WE RELY UPON THE POLICE TO INTERVENE.
I WONDER HOW THE POLICE WOULD RESPOND TO THE PRESUMPTION THAT THEIR SERVICES OFTEN URGENTLY AND VITALLY NEEDED FOR FAR MORE PRESSING AND EMERGENCY CALLS BE CALLED UPON BECAUSE THE CITY ALLOWED A HOTELIER TO BUILD HIS HOTEL LIKE RENTALS SQUARELY AMIDST RESIDENTIAL HOMES.
MR. SHARPTON'S APPLICATION DOES NOT SQUARE WITH HIS PUBLIC ADVERTISING OF HIS NEW HOTEL BRAND.
WE ASK YOU TO CONSIDER HIS PUBLIC GUEST ATTEST STATION, ALONG WITH HIS PERMIT APPLICATION WHEN YOU RECONSIDER GRANTING HIM THE RIGHT TO PLACE HIS BUILDINGS NEXT TO OUR HOMES WHERE WE ARE RAISING OUR KIDS, CONDUCTING OUR WORK FROM HOME OFFICES, OR RELISHING OUR RETIREMENTS AS REGULAR CITIZENS.
WE ASK YOU TO INFORM THE LEGAL CODES RATHER THAN CREATING A SITUATION IN WHICH WE SIMPLY HAVE TO HOPE FOR THE BEST.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR SPEAKER? ALRIGHT THEN, UH, JASON GINSBURG.
MR. GINSBURG, COME FORWARD PLEASE.
IT'S, IT'S ME, THE ATTORNEY AGAIN.
UM, UH, SPEAKING OF ATTORNEYS, I SPOKE WITH YOUR ATTORNEY, UH, MS. KIM MICKELSON, UH, REGARDING THIS MATTER.
UH, SHE'S FABULOUS BY THE WAY.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN VOTE HER RAISE TODAY, UH, BUT CERTAINLY I WOULD, I WOULD, YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN TACK THAT ONTO THE AGENDA.
UH, KIM AND I DIDN'T AGREE ON EV ON EVERYTHING, BUT SHE HAS REFERRED THE LEGAL ISSUES WE RAISED, UH, AT THE LAST MEETING TO MUNICIPAL PROSECUTION AND LI THE, UH, LITIGATION SECTIONS OF THE CITY'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT THOSE ATTORNEYS WILL DO WHAT THIS COMMISSION APPARENTLY WILL NOT DO TODAY, WHICH IS APPLY THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS TO PROTECT OUR HOMES FROM DARRYL SHARPTON'S HOTEL PLANS.
A COPY OF THE APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE CITY'S HOTEL CODE IS INCLUDED WITH YOUR MATERIALS TODAY.
THOSE LAWS ARE CLEAR, VALID, AND APPLICABLE, EVEN IF THEY ARE PRESENTLY UNENFORCED.
MY NEIGHBORS AND I ARE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT CLEAR WHO AT THE CITY WILL ENFORCE THEM OR WHEN, IF EVER.
SO APPARENTLY THE BUCK, THE BUCK WILL NOT STOP HERE TODAY, BUT DOWN THE ROAD YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP US IN OTHER WAYS, IF NOT AS A COMMISSION THEN AS INDIVIDUALS OPPOSED TO THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY.
I WOULDN'T WANT THESE HOTELS BUILT NEXT TO YOUR HOMES AND I TRUST THAT Y'ALL DON'T
[00:35:01]
WANT THEM BUILT NEXT TO MINE.AT THE END OF THE DAY, NO MATTER WHAT HATS WE WEAR HERE, WE ARE ALL NEIGHBORS HERE TOGETHER.
WE NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER, SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND PROTECT EACH OTHER.
IF NOTHING ELSE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
QUESTIONS? ANYONE? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER, MIGUEL KREMIN, LIVE CRIMINAL LEAVE, MIGUEL KREMIN.
HI, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, SIR.
UH, I'VE GOT YOUR NAME SPELLED K-R-E-M-E-N-L-I-E-V.
I, I KNOW TODAY IS A LOST CAUSE, BUT I WANNA APPEAL TO ANYONE'S EXPERIENCE FOR OPTIONS TO PREVENT A BLATANT ABOMINATION OF TRUST AND STEWARDSHIP FROM GOING TOO FAR.
WE'VE BEEN TOLD USE 3 1 1 OR HPD AS A MECHANISM FOR RELIEF OR PERHAPS TRUST ASSURANCES FOR MR. SHARPTON.
I'D LIKE TO CONVEY MY PERSONAL RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH HIM.
ON AN EARLY SEPTEMBER MORNING LAST YEAR, I OPENED MY GARAGE TO FIND A LARGE BOOM LIFT ENTIRELY BLOCKING MY DRIVEWAY AND CONES AND TAPE IN MY YARD.
AFTER 20 MINUTES OF TRYING TO GET THE OPERATOR'S ATTENTION AND GESTICULATING, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DEPART MY OWN DRIVEWAY.
THIS WAS, YOU GUESSED IT, DUE TO MR. SHARPTON'S DUNLEVY PROPERTY.
THERE WERE NO BRANDS OR LICENSE NUMBERS ON THE LIFT, BUT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL I RETURNED THAT EVENING TO WHAT WOULD BECOME MY REALITY.
LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE NEXT FIVE WEEKS, UP TO 50 PIECES OF TAR PAPER STREWN ABOUT MY YARD BLOWING DAILY FOR MR. SHARPTON'S ROOF WITH EVERY GUST OF THE WIND.
THEY SAID THE ONLY RECORD ON FILE WAS A PERMIT FOR A DEFUNCT TRIPLE M PLUMBING.
AND THEY COULDN'T EVEN START TO TRACE OWNERSHIP AT DEAD END.
THE NUISANCE OF DAILY CLEANUP REACHED A CRESCENDO.
WHEN MY SON CALLED IN TEARS, OUR DOG WAS VIOLENTLY SICK, VOMITING AND SHAKING AFTER INGESTING ONE OF MR. SHARPTON'S H TO TARP PAPER.
THANKFULLY, OUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD VET GAVE SOME COMFORT THAT HE SHOULD RECOVER WITHOUT WE HOPE LONG-TERM EFFECTS.
WHEN THE POLICE OFFICER CAME OUT, SHE SAID NOTHING, WE CAN DO ANOTHER DEAD END.
BUT IF MR. SHARPTON HAD SO MUCH IS DRIVEN BY ONCE DURING THESE FIVE PLUS WEEKS, IT WOULD'VE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS THIS NUISANCE.
EVENTUALLY, I SLEUTH MR. SHARPEN HIS OWNER AND FINALLY OBTAINED HIS PHONE NUMBER.
TO HIS CREDIT, MR. SHARPEN DID HAVE THEIR ISSUE RESOLVED IN ABOUT A WEEK.
BUT THE REAL CONCERN HERE IS THAT IN A PREDICTIVE PREVIEW OF WHAT'S TO COME, WELL, LET'S BE HONEST, NOT IF, BUT WHEN THIS IS APPROVED UNDER THE GUISE OF SEMANTICS, LOOPHOLES AND POTENTIALLY EMPTY PROMISES, AN ABSENTEE OWNER LETS TOXIC WASTE POLLUTE MY YARD FOR FIVE WEEKS, PERHAPS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE, BUT CERTAINLY WITH ZERO CURIOSITY OR RESPONSIBILITY UNTIL I MAKE EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS TO TRACK HIM DOWN.
SO WHEN I HEAR FROM CERTAIN MEMBERS THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY, JUST USE THE CITY RESOURCES AND DEVELOP GOOD RELATIONS.
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY, MY SKEPTICISM AND I HOPE SOMEONE FROM THE CITY WILL HELP ME AND MY NEIGHBORS GOING FORWARD WITH HIS ALBATROSS.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO HANG OVER OUR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD'S NECK.
QUESTIONS FOR OUR SPEAKER? OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS NANCY COOK.
I WONDER IF I COULD JUST HAVE THE GO BACK TO THE PLAT.
UM, SO YOU COULD SEE CERTAINLY, UM, I'M, I OWN A TOWNHOUSE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO ONE OF THE TWO PROPERTIES THAT MR. SHARPTON RECENTLY PURCHASED.
I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT DURING MR. SHARPTON'S INTERVIEW PUBLISHED IN THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE, HE WENT INTO GREAT DETAIL ABOUT HIS GOALS FOR DEVELOPING A HOSPITALITY GROUP CALLED THE SHARPTON.
IT WOULD INCLUDE MULTIPLE HOUSING UNITS AND BE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE SHARPTON AND INVOLVE SUBSEQUENT EXPANSIONS.
SO WHAT YOU'RE APPROVING TODAY IS, IS UM, THE SMALLER OF THE TWO LOTS.
HE OWNS THE ONE ON THE CORNER OF MARYLAND AND DUNLEAVY.
SO THERE WILL BE TWO TOWNHOUSES THAT PEOPLE LIVE IN AND THEN HIS TWO PROPERTIES ON EITHER SIDE OF THAT.
SO HE'S NOT APPLYING TODAY FOR ONE, HE'S REALLY HOPING THAT YOU'LL APPROVE TWO.
SO IN THAT REPL THAT HE'S REQUESTING, AS HE SAID TWO WEEKS AGO IN THE HEARING, HE PLANS TO BUILD TWO TOWNHOUSES AND HE'S NOT REALLY SURE WHETHER HE WILL DEVELOP THEM OR WHETHER THERE'LL BE RENTALS.
THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT WHAT HE WAS COMMUNICATING TO THE LARGER HOUSTON COMMUNITY.
HE WANTS TO DEVELOP THE SHARPTON AND IN HIS WORDS, HAVE A MUCH LARGER HOSPITALITY BUSINESS.
I THINK THAT TO MEAN THAT HE IS DEVELOPING BASICALLY AN ORGANIZATION THAT RUN IS RUNNING A HOTEL OR SHORT TERM RENTALS.
SECTION 28 2 0 1 OF THE CITY'S CODE DEFINES HOTEL AS BEING ANY BUILDING IN WHICH THE PUBLIC MAY OBTAIN TRANSIENT SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS AND EXPRESSLY INCLUDES TOURIST HOMES, HOUSES, AND ANY OTHER BUILDINGS WHERE
[00:40:01]
TRANSIENT ROOMS ARE FURNISHED FOR A FEE.AND IN ADDITION, THE TAX CODE EXPRESSLY SAYS THAT ANY SHORT TERM RENTAL IS A HOTEL.
IN MY OPINION, MR. SHARPTON IS NOT A HOMEOWNER OR A BED AND BREAKFAST OWNER LIVING IN, IN THE HOUSE AND MONITORING WHAT HAPPENS IN HIS PROPERTIES.
HE IS BUILDING, AS HE SAYS, A HOSPITALITY BUSINESS FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXPANDING IT TO MULTIPLE OTHER SITES, BUT RUNNING IT EXACTLY AS HE WOULD IF HE OWNED A HOTEL.
SECONDLY, SECTION 28 DASH 2 0 2, UM, EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES HOTELS FROM A BUDDING RESIDENTIAL AREAS, MY HOUSE AND SEVERAL OTHER HOUSES ABOVE THAT.
AS AN OWNER OF A RESIDENTIAL HOME, I KNOW THAT MY NEIGHBORHOOD WILL CHANGE AS A RESULT OF YOUR DECISION, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT EVEN IF YOU APPROVE THINGS TODAY, THERE ARE GOING TO BE MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES LIKE THIS COMING UP FROM MR. SHARPTON OR OTHER PEOPLE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
ALRIGHT, I WILL GO BACK TO THE SPEAKERS THAT WE CALLED EARLIER WHO WERE NOT HERE.
AND FINALLY HILLARY HAYES OR HINES? HILLARY HINES ARE NOT HERE.
ALRIGHT, THAT IS ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON ONE 19 BRIA PLACE.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE ONLINE WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON THIS ITEM? NO ONE IN THE CHAT.
ALRIGHT THEN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE LOOKING AT ITEM ONE 19.
WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE PLAT SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS LISTED QUESTIONS.
CAN WE HAVE MS. MICKELSON WEIGH IN? YES.
WHO SPECIFICALLY WANTS TO ASK A QUESTION OR JUST I HAVE, I HAVE A VIEW
UM, CAN YOU DEFINE FOR US THE LEGAL DEFINITION OF NON-TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY? WELL, I'D LIKE TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT BEYOND THAT AND, AND PART OF THE ISSUE WITH OUR HOTEL ORDINANCE IS THAT NOT A LOT OF THE TERMS ARE DEFINED AND SOME TERMS ARE DEFINED DIFFERENTLY IN TAX LAW AND, AND EXCLUDED FROM SHORT-TERM RENTALS.
THE, THE ISSUE, AND I, FIRST OF ALL, I SHOULD THANK MR. GINSBURG.
IT'S RARE THAT AN ATTORNEY GETS A COMPLIMENT.
IT'S EVEN RARER WHEN, WHEN THE OTHER ATTORNEY HAS DISAGREED WITH YOU.
BUT WE DID, WE DID DISCUSS THIS ISSUE, UM, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, I THINK WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, UM, AND, AND HAD A DISCUSSION WITH, WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, HEARING, HEARING THEIR CONCERNS AS YOU REMEMBER.
UM, I DID ASK THAT THIS ITEM BE DEFERRED IN PART BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES THAT WERE BEING BROUGHT UP.
BUT GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT, AND I REALLY WANTED TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK OR HAVE OUR DEED RESTRICTION ATTORNEYS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK BACK AT THE DEED RESTRICTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WASN'T SOMETHING FURTHER IN THERE ABOUT, UM, COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.
SO AS STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED THEY, THIS APPLICATION DOES NOT VIOLATE DEED RESTRICTIONS, UM, THIS ISSUE BRINGS POINTS UP A LOT OF LAND CONFLICTS THAT COME INTO PLAY, I WILL SAY EVEN IN A ZONED CITY.
SO EVEN IF WE HAD ZONING THAT DEALT WITH USES LIKE THIS, AND IN A WAY WE DO, WE HAVE NUISANCE ORDINANCES THAT DEAL WITH THESE TYPES OF, OF, OF USE NUISANCES.
UM, YOU DON'T CONSIDER USE AT THE SUBDIVISION PLATING STAGE, THE LEGISLATURE HAS SET UP THE PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS TO BE TWOFOLD.
AND THE FIRST IS SUBDIVISION PLATING, WHICH IS WHAT GOES ON THE GROUND, HOW LOTS ARE FORMED, DO THEY HAVE STREET ACCESS? WHERE'S THE EASEMENTS? HOW WIDE ARE THEY? ARE THEY BIG ENOUGH TO BUILD ON WHAT YOU SEE ON THE, ON THE SCREEN THERE, UM, THAT'S DESIGNED TO BE A VERY TECHNICAL ENGINEERING FOCUSED REVIEW AND APPLICATION.
STATE LAW ALSO PROVIDES THAT PLAT THAT MEET ALL OF THE, THE RELEVANT SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS MUST BE APPROVED.
SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS ARE, ARE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND ENGINEERING REGULATIONS DON'T INCLUDE LAND USE.
AGAIN, WE COULD SAY IN PART BECAUSE WE'RE NOT A ZONED CITY, BUT CERTAINLY SUBDIVISION SHOULDN'T GET THERE ANYWAYS.
UM, SECONDLY, IF YOU ALL ARE INCLINED TO DISAPPROVE A PLAT IN ANY EVENT, YOU MUST FIND A SPECIFIC SECTION IN OUR SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS THAT THE APPLICATION VIOLATES SO THAT WE CAN PUT THE OWNER ON NOTICE AND IN WHICH CASE THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
[00:45:01]
THEN UNDER THE TIMELINE IN CHAPTER TWO 12 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE TO COME BACK AND, UM, AND CORRECT THAT MISTAKE AND, AND GO THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS AGAIN.AND THAT'S PROBABLY WAY MORE DETAILED THAN YOU WANTED TO KNOW, BUT I WANTED TO REMIND YOU ALL OF THE, THE TECHNICAL NATURE AND THE, THE RESIDENCE AS WELL.
IT'S JUST SIMPLY AN ISSUE THAT DOESN'T GET TO USE EVEN IN A ZONE CITY THAT COMES AFTER SOMETHING IS CONSTRUCTED AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS USED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THINGS LIKE NOISE HEIGHT, UM, OR OTHER LAND USE REGULATIONS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT THERE, THERE'S NOT A DEFINITION OF NON-TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY? I'M NOT RECALLING OFFHAND, BUT THE DEFINITION IN HOTEL IN, IN OUR CODE INCLUDES SEVERAL USES SUCH AS TRANSIENT USES.
UM, I DIDN'T NECESSARILY READ TRANSIENT USES FOR THE PUBLIC TO SECURE OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS.
SOMEONE FROM THE PUBLIC'S NOT GONNA WALK INTO THAT LIKE YOU WOULD A HOTEL.
I SEE A LITTLE BIT OF DIFFERENCE.
THE TOURIST HOTEL ARGUMENT THAT WAS BROUGHT UP, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS A TOURIST HOTEL? THAT TERM IS NOT DEFINED IN OUR CODE.
UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW IT'S AN, AN ISSUE THAT CITY STAFF IS AWARE OF OVERALL OF SHORT TERM RENTALS AND THESE TYPES OF, OF USES THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE BEGINNING TO LOOK AT.
BUT IT'S, IT'S A LONG PROCESS.
I I THINK A LOT OF THAT IS NOT YET DEFINED.
SO, SO, AND I HEAR YOU SAYING THAT WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT USE.
UM, BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN THERE ARE STATEMENTS THAT APPEAR TO POINT TO A CONFLICT? I MEAN, DO WE JUST IGNORE THAT
AND PARTICULARLY FROM THE PUBLIC, I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT, BUT, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS A TECHNICAL REVIEW THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE BASED ON ENGINEERING AND THOSE TECHNICAL STANDARDS, DO THEY MEET LOT SIZE? DO THEY HAVE ACCESS TO A PUBLIC STREET? DO WE HAVE ADEQUATE EASEMENTS AND UH, CAPACITY FOR WATER AND SEWER? THAT'S THE TECHNICAL ELEMENT OF IT.
THE ISSUE OF NOW WE KNOW ABOUT USE I THINK WILL CERTAINLY COME UP AT, AT PERMITTING.
AND SO THERE, IS THERE A BODY THAT WOULD REVIEW THAT AT THAT POINT? WELL, THE, THE HOUSTON PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, UM, THE PERMITTING SECTION AND PLANNING HAS A COMPONENT THERE LOOKS AT THE, THE ISSUES OF WHAT SOMEONE COMES IN AND ASKS FOR TO BE PLACED ON THERE.
AND THEN I THINK MY LAST QUESTION IS, UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAD ESCALATED THE QUESTION, THE LEGAL QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING RAISED HERE.
UM, IS IT POSSIBLE TO WAIT FOR AN ANSWER ON THOSE? DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THAT WOULD TAKE? I MEAN, I'M JUST PROBABLY NOT AND, AND I'LL SAY THIS, SO YES, I, I INCLUDED OTHER ATTORNEYS IN OUR OFFICE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEED RESTRICTION REVIEW SECTION AS WELL AS, UM, AS, AS WAS MENTIONED BY MR. GINSBURG LITIGATION AND MUNICIPAL PROSECUTION JUST TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN OTHER PROSECUTIONS OR SOMETHING I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK.
UM, AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE, YOU ARE, UH, REQUIRED TO ACT ON A SUBDIVISION PLAT WITHIN 30 DAYS.
UM, THIS HAS BEEN ON ITS FIRST DEFERRAL.
I DEFERRAL BELIEVE FIRST DEFER, YES.
TECHNICALLY, COULD YOU WAIT TWO MORE WEEKS? I I DON'T KNOW THAT GIVEN THAT STAFF HAS TOLD YOU IT MEETS EVERYTHING IN CHAPTER 42 THAT YOU HAVE A, YOU KNOW, DO YOU DO? I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WOULD GIVE YOU A REASON TO DENY IT IN TWO MORE WEEKS.
I KNOW THIS IS A HARD ONE, MR. ROSENBERG.
UM, KIM WOULD, WOULD ONE WAY BE ABLE TO SAY IT WHILE WE CAN'T DICTATE USE, UM, IT'S MORE OF A, A FORM-BASED TYPE, UM, ANALYSIS WHERE IS, IF IT WAS A HOTEL, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SELL IT AS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
BUT THIS HOME FROM THE APPEARANCE OF THE DOCUMENTS AND EVERYTHING WE HAVE IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, TWO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO RENT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SELL A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
WHILE YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE IT, IT IS STILL PERMANENT, A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
IT IS NOT A HOTEL MULTIPLE USE BUILDING.
SO, UM, MY PERSONAL ANALYSIS OF THAT FROM A USE STANDPOINT, IT IS CLEARLY A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
IS THAT A CORRECT WAY TO LOOK AT IT? YES.
AND, AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT'S AT LEAST IN PART WHAT'S BEEN REPRESENTED.
WHAT, WHAT YOU SAY PUT TO IT IS, AGAIN, SUBJECT TO REVIEW AT PERMITTING, UM, FOR ADDITIONAL BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS OR, UM, UNDER THE HOTEL ORDINANCE.
COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IS IT SO
WOULD IT, WOULD IT BE, UM, INAPPROPRIATE TO ADD
[00:50:01]
A CONDITION FOR, I GUESS I'LL ASK WHAT THAT CONDITION MIGHT BE, BUT ON A, ON A MUST APPROVE PLAT AS YOU'VE BEEN ADVISED BY STAFF, THAT'S, THAT'S MAYBE I I'M UNCERTAIN, BUT PERHAPS A CONDITION THAT STATES THAT IT WOULD NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH THE EXISTING REGULATIONS AROUND HOTELS AND HOSPITALITY.COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THEY, THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF OUR CITY REGULATIONS.
COMMENTS, COMMISSIONER BALDWIN.
I MEAN I WANT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO KNOW THAT WE, WE HEAR YOU, BUT WE ARE GONNA APPLY HUNDREDS OF HOUSES TODAY THAT MAY BE SHORT TERM RENTALS OR LONG TERM RENTALS.
WE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OF THAT.
AND I, I KNOW IT'S FRUSTRATING, BUT WE PLA MANY MATTRESS FIRM STORES THAT BECOME DOCTOR'S OFFICES AND DOGGIE DAYCARES AND OTHER THINGS.
I MEAN THEY JUST, WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THEIR REAL USE.
WE'RE REALLY APPROVING THE SETBACKS AND LIKE, LIKE YOU SAID, THE TECHNICAL ITEMS. AND IT IS FRUSTRATING IF YOU PLOT A DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND IT BECOMES A CBD THING THAT WE SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF THESE DAYS.
THEY DIDN'T COME THROUGH THAT PROCESS 'CAUSE THEY ALREADY MET THE CRITERIA.
SO I, WE HEAR YOU ABOUT THE SHORT TERM RENTALS AND THE AIRBNBS.
THAT'S REALLY NOT THE PURVIEW OF THIS BODY, BUT THE CITY COUNCIL IS YOUR MECHANISM TO CREATE CHANGES WITH AIRBNBS AND THAT'S WHERE WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS YOUR EFFORTS.
IF YOU'RE UPSET WITH AIRBNBS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS, THERE NEEDS TO BE A REGULATION AT THE CITY COUNCIL LEVEL, NOT AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION LEVEL.
AND I KNOW IT'S FRUSTRATING, BUT WE'RE FRUSTRATED MANY TIMES WITH THE SHALL APPROVES, BELIEVE ME.
BUT WE'RE BOUND BY LAW TO DO WHAT WE'RE REGULATED TO DO.
ALRIGHT, UM, LAST CALL FOR SPEAKERS AND I'LL BE CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING.
THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU ITEM ONE 19 BRIA PLACE WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE PLAT SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS LISTED.

THIS EASEMENT, I AGREED IT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND I REGOR RE RECORDED IT WITH THE HARRIS COUNTY, UH, ON UH, 25TH OF APRIL, 2019 BECAUSE MY PROPERTY CANNOT GET, UH, FEED, POWER FEED, UH, FROM THE STEEL OF HOUSTON POWER LINES ONLY.
BUT, SO WE CREATED AN EASEMENT WHERE I HAVE A POWER POLE IN THE, UH, NORTHEAST TOP CORNER.
UM, AND THEN THERE'S A POWER LINE GOING UNDERGROUND TO FEED MY HOUSE JUST SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY UNDER A QUESTION.
SO THERE'S AN EASEMENT OF ONE FOOT ON THE EAST SIDE THAT'S NOT RECORDED IN THE SURVEY OR THIS PLAT RIGHT NOW.
I ALSO HAVE MY GAS LINE RUNNING FROM THE MAIN GAS LINE IN THE 10 FOOT EASEMENT IN THE FRONT OF THE TWO PROPERTIES.

UH, SOMETIMES IF IT'S ADDED BY SEPARATE INSTRUMENT, THEY SURVEY MAY NOT SEE IT AND THAT'S FINE.

SO IT SHOULD BE LISTED IN THE TITLE.
AND WE DO MAKE A COMMENT THAT ANY EASEMENT SHOWN IN THE TITLE BE REFLECTED ON THE PLAT AT THE TIME OF RECORDATION.
SO IF, EVEN IF IT'S SOMETHING'S NOT HERE, IT STILL MAY COME UP AS PART OF THE, THE MARKED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
UM, MR. AZZ, I HOPE THAT ALLAYS SOME OF YOUR FEARS, BUT, UM, I, I WOULD, UH, I WOULD ASK MR. CILLO IF YOU COULD GET IN TOUCH WITH MR. S AND MAKE SURE HE HAS ALL THE INFORMATION THAT HE NEEDS.
YES, BECAUSE AS THE FIRST THING, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE, THAT THE AGREEMENT IS RESPECTED, THERE'S A POWER LINE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHO OWNS IT AND WHY IT'S THERE.
WHAT I HAVE AGREED WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER SHOULD BE BINDING TO THE NEW ONES.

GO BACK TO MY LIST HERE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THAT'S ITEM NUMBER, THAT'S MISTAKE NUMBER 37.
AND THERE'S, THERE'S A LIMIT ON HOW MANY I CAN MAKE.
ITEM 1 28 IS RANCH COUNTRY PLACE.
THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN, UM, HOUSTON HARRIS COUNTY EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION ALONG US TWO 90 WEST OF BECKER ROAD.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TWO RESERVES.

STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THIS REQUEST.
THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE ETJ AT THE INTERSECTION OF BECKER AND TWO 90.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A MULTI-FAMILY COMMUNITY FOR THIS SITE.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUIRED TO TERMINATE RANCH COUNTRY DRIVE WITH A CUL-DE-SAC WITHIN THEIR PROPERTY.
THE PROPERTY IS BOUND ON THE SOUTH BY THE FEEDER ROAD OF US TWO 90, WHICH MAKE FULL EXTENSION DIFFICULT.
IN ADDITION, THIS SEGMENT OF RANCH COUNTRY DRIVE IS JUST OVER 100 FEET LONG AND IS ACCESSED BY THREE LOTS.
TERMINA TERMINATING IT WITH A TURNAROUND WOULD ACHIEVE A SIMILAR RESULT AS INTENDED BY THE CHAP BY CHAPTER 42.
STANDARDS FOR DEAD ENDS, THOUGH IT DOES NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE IT HAS MORE THAN TWO LOTS ACCESSING THE STREET, EXTENDING THE STREET IS NOT REQUIRED FOR INTERSECTION SPACING.
THE STU WILL BE USED ONLY FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS FOR THE PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

MR. CHAIR, IF IT PLEASES THE COMMISSION, YOU MAY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME.THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 1 28 IS NOW OPEN.
I HAVE NO ONE SIGNED TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? COME FORWARD PLEASE.
I THINK YOU NEED TO TURN ON YOUR MIC AND I NEED YOU TO STATE YOUR NAME AND SPELL YOUR LAST NAME.
UH, MY NAME IS, UH, R GARCIA, G-A-R-C-I-A.
MY ONLY CONCERN IS I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WERE NOT TO ALLOW THIS, AND THAT'S GREAT AND I UNDERSTAND, BUT I HAVE THIS NOTIFICATION THAT THEY'RE GONNA BUILD THIS RESERVE AND I'M ASSUMING THAT THAT'S WHY THEY WANT NOT TO ALLOW THAT STREET SO THEY CAN BUILD THEIR MULTI HOMES THERE.
BUT MY CONCERN IS BY THEM DOING THAT AND BUILDING THIS RESERVE RIGHT BEHIND MY LOT FOR DRAINAGE AND DETENTION, UM, MY FEAR IS BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH FLOODING IN THAT SECTION THAT IF THAT DETENTION, THAT AND THAT UH, UH, RETAINING AREA THAT THEY'RE GONNA KEEP THE WATER AT WILL OVERFLOW INTO OUR, INTO THE LOTS BEHIND US.
AND THAT'S MY CONCERN BECAUSE THAT'S ALREADY LOW LEVEL.
AND IF THEY RAISE THAT UP, THAT'S THE CONCERN I HAVE ABOUT THIS REPL RIGHT HERE IS THAT, UH, HOW ARE THEY GONNA MAKE IT SAFE FOR ALL THE NEIGHBORS IN THAT SECTION? I'M OKAY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MULTIFAMILY, BUT THAT'S MY CONCERN.
UM, I, I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO GET THAT ROAD NOT TO COME THROUGH MM-HMM
BUT BY DOING THAT, UM, MY UNDERSTANDING AS BEING IN CONSTRUCTION THAT THEY'RE GONNA BUILD THE HOMES IN THAT SECTOR OR THE PARKING LOT.
I WOULD LIKE MORE ABOUT WHAT'S THE INTENTIONS OF THEY'RE TRYING TO DO RIGHT HERE.
SO I CAN UNDERSTAND BETTER SINCE, UH, MY LOT SITS AT RESERVE B AND RESERVE A.
SO I'M, I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, ABOUT THE WATER FLOWING INTO OUR YARDS.
MR. GARCIA, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THE, THE NUMBER ONE THING IS THIS IS JUST THE VERY FIRST STEP THAT ANYONE TAKES ON ANYTHING.
ALL THIS WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH PERMITTING AND PUBLIC WORKS BEFORE IT EVER SEES ANY CONSTRUCTION WHATSOEVER.
HOWEVER, I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE A HOMEOWNER RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
UM, WE'LL HAVE STAFF GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.
DO YOU HAVE YOUR INFORMATION WITH YOU THAT YOU COULD SHARE WITH STAFF SO THEY CAN GET DIRECTED TO YOU? YES, I CAN GIVE HIM ALL THE INFORMATION.
THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY I, I ALSO CAME, I UNDERSTAND IT'S THE BEGINNING OF DEVELOPMENT, BUT I JUST WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TRY TO GET AHEAD OF THE GAME.
BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION BEHIND MY HOUSE.
AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
WELL, I THINK THE BEST THING TO DO IS I SAID GET US GET IN TOUCH AND STAY IN TOUCH WITH STAFF AND THEY CAN GIVE YOU UPDATES ON A REGULAR BASIS AND PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE IN PUBLIC WORKS AND THE LIKE.
TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
ALRIGHT, ARE THERE ANY OTHER MR. CHAIR? YES.
I JUST WANTED TO ADD, THIS IS DO ANN, UM, YES, WE COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE SUBDIVISION PLOT.
THE APPLICANT IS CREATING TWO RESERVES AND UM, THE RESERVE THAT'S ADJACENT TO, UH, THE LOTS THAT IS EXISTING TWO THROUGH 15 IS A RESERVE FOR DETENTION AND DRAINAGE USE.
AND, UH, THE APPLICANT COULD SPEAK MORE TO THAT, UM, HOW THAT THEY'RE GONNA HANDLE THE DRAINAGE REQUIREMENT.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE DRAINAGE IS GONNA BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
SO ACTUALLY PULLING AWAY FROM, FROM THE PROPERTIES ON THE NORTH, WHICH I THINK IS FROM MR. GARCIA IS YES.
BUT, UH, IF YOU, MR. GARCIA, AGAIN, IF YOU'LL HAVE LEAVE YOUR INFORMATION, WE'LL MAKE SURE PEOPLE GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTED TO SPEAK TO UM, THE COMMISSION ON THIS ITEM? ALRIGHT, SEEING NONE HERE, IS THERE ANYONE ON VIDEO OR ANYONE IN THE CHAT? NO.
ALRIGHT, THEN WE ARE ON WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE'RE ON ITEM 1 26 RANCH COUNTRY PLACE.
UM, WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLAT SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS LISTED.
ARE THERE QUESTIONS? UH, I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR PUBLIC WORKS MINISTER.
UM, UH, JUST IF YOU COULD CLARIFY FOR ME, RELATIVE TO TEMPORARY WATER MITIGATION DURING CONSTRUCTION, WHAT, WHAT DOES THE CITY IN DURING PERMITTING SAY TO, UH, THE DEVELOPER OR THE CONTRACTOR? MR. SMITH, THEIR PUBLIC WORKS STEPS, YOU KNOW, IF, IF THEY'RE MOVING AROUND DIRT TEMPORARILY AND THAT DIRT CREATES A SITUATION WHERE WATER MAY EXIT THE PROPERTY VERSUS THERE'RE BEING DETENTION.
WHAT DO WE SAY ABOUT TEMPORARY OR CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY AND ITS IMPACT ON WATER FLOW? GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS.
[01:15:01]
WITH PUBLIC WORKS.UM, WE HAVE THE, WHAT WE CALL AN SW THREE P, WHICH IS GONNA BE THE STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN.
AND THAT IS SET UP SO THAT THEY PROVIDE A PLAN UPFRONT, NOT NECESSARILY TO KEEP THE WATER ON THEIR SITE, BUT TO, FOR MOSTLY TO KEEP THE WATER ON THEIR SITE, BUT ALSO TO HAVE IT DRAIN OFF IN THE APPROPRIATE MANNER.
AND SO THAT IS PART OF THAT REQUIREMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION.
AND SO THAT WOULD BE A PLAN PUT IN PLACE.
SO IF DRAINAGE DID HAPPEN WHERE IT WAS IMPACTING A NEIGHBORING, IF THEY WERE GETTING A LOT OF STORM DRAINAGE RUNOFF OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEY WOULD CONTACT THE CITY ENGINEER'S OFFICE AND THEN INSPECTOR FROM THAT OFFICE WOULD GO OUT AND LOOK AT IT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE FOLLOWING THEIR PLAN, FIRST OF ALL.
AND THEN SECOND OF ALL, IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PLAN, THEY CAN ADJUST THE PLAN THAT INSPECTOR CAN HAVE THEM ADJUST IT SO THAT THAT DIRECT IMPACT MAY NOT, UM, OR MAY BE ALLEVIATED TO THAT NEIGHBOR.
NOW IF THEY'RE STOPPING THE WATER FROM DRAINING ONTO THEIR PROPERTY, THEY MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT IT IN A BIGGER TOTALITY OF THE ENTIRE AREA A LITTLE BIT.
BUT GENERALLY DURING CONSTRUCTION WE DO MONITOR.
I DON'T SAY WE MONITOR, BUT IF WE GET COMPLAINTS OR ISSUES COME UP TO THAT REGARD, WE WILL GO OUT AND LOOK AT THOSE.
UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? ALL RIGHT THEN.
UM, WE'RE ITEM 1 28 RANCH, UH, COUNTRY PLACE.
WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE.
AND IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION? MOTION? MAD AMANDA PACA SECOND CLARK.

I'LL CALL 'EM OUT INDIVIDUALLY.
JAMESON, MS. JAMESON, GOOD AFTERNOON.
COME FORWARD, WON'T YOU? GOOD AFTERNOON.
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE YORKDALE SUBDIVISION.
UH, WE HAVE, UH, DEED RESTRICTION
[01:20:01]
IN THAT AREA WHERE THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES SHOULD BE BUILT ON ONE LOT.OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY IS OPPOSED TO THIS BUILDING THREE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON, UH, TWO LOTS.
OUR COMMUNITY IS NOT MADE OF TRACK HOMES.
ALL THOSE HOMES IN YORKDALE ARE CUSTOM HOMES.
THIS WILL CHANGE THE AESTHETIC OF OUR COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE BUILDERS WHO HAVE COME INTO OUR COMMUNITY AND HAVE BUILT HOMES ACCORDING TO THE DEED RESTRICTION SPECIFICATIONS.
AND WE HAVE ONE OF THE BUILDERS HERE TODAY.
WE, IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T WANT HOMES BUILT IN YORKDALE, WE DON'T WANT THAT SPECIFIC TYPE OF HOMES TO BE BUILT IN OUR, UH, COMMUNITY.
UM, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IN REFERENCE TO, UM, THESE DEVELOPERS THAT ARE GOING AROUND IN THE ACRES HOME AREA FOUR, FOUR AS IT'S REFERRED TO DOING REGENTRIFICATION, UH, THERE WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH IT.
SO I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU WITH THIS.
I WILL REFER TO THE, UH, BIBLICAL STORY OF DAVID AND GOLIATH.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS, UM, SORRY.
UM, I'M A LOCAL BUILDER IN THE AREA AND, UM, I'M KIND OF, UM, A PART OF THE COMMUNITY THERE.
SO I, I'VE BECOME AWARE OF THE RESTRICTIONS AND CHAPTER 42 AND ALL THAT, UH, WAY EARLY ON.
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN IN THAT COMMUNITY FOR ABOUT EIGHT YEARS DOING CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOMES.
UM, I, MYSELF WAS SHOT DOWN BECAUSE I, I WAS PLANNING ON DOING THE SAME THING THAT THIS BUILDER'S TRYING TO DO, UH, SEPARATE PROPERTIES TO CREATE MULTIPLE HOMES.
AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY THE DEED RESTRICTIONS AND, AND WHATNOT.
UM, SO I'M KIND OF OPPOSED TO IT BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO DO IT.
AND HERE THIS GENTLEMAN'S COMING IN AND HE'S, HE'S TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING THAT I WAS TRYING TO DO EARLIER AND I WAS SHOT DOWN OF COURSE.
AND I DO HAVE RESPECT FOR THE COMMUNITY.
I KNOW A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE AREA.
I MYSELF AM BUILDING A HOME FOR MYSELF IN THE COMMUNITY.
UM, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M OPPOSED TO THIS, UH, VARIANCE BEING APPROVED DUE TO THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, I WAS NOT ABLE TO DO IT EITHER.
SO, AND AS WELL AS FOR RESPECT TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO, UM, I THINK IT WILL CREATE A NUISANCE BEING THAT THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE UNITS ON THIS SAME STREET THAT I'M ALSO CONSTRUCTING ON AT THE CURRENT TIME.
UM, I SEE A LOT OF TRAFFIC BEING, BEING THROUGH THIS STREET AS IT IS NOW.
AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY RIDE THEIR BIKES, THEY WALK THEIR DOGS.
AND THIS BEING SAID, UH, IT IS GONNA CREATE A LOT OF TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA AS WELL TOO.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK MY MIND ON IT.
I, LIKE I SAID, I I REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY.
I AM PART OF THE COMMUNITY MYSELF, BEING THAT I'M A BUILDER IN THAT AREA FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS.
UH, SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON IT, YOU'RE FREE TO ASK.
UH, QUESTIONS COMMISSIONERS FOR OUR SPEAKER? MR. RO? NO.
THEY LOOKED REALLY ANXIOUS, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE.
UM, I'VE GOT EDWINA, SEBASTIAN.
UM, AS MS. JAMISON SAID, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WAS BUILT IN THE FIFTIES.
WE'RE PART OF AKERS HOME AND I BELIEVE WE'LL BE PART OF THE NEW, UH, CONSERVATION DISTRICT.
WE'RE PRAYING THAT WE ARE INCLUDED.
UM, AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS BUILT UP, UH, IN THE FIFTIES AND IT CAN IS ALL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND WE ARE PROUD OF THAT.
MOST OF THE HOMES AREN'T SET ON TWO LOTS AND SO THIS WOULD REALLY BRING NOTHING GOOD TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT STREET IS A TWO LANE, ONE LANE STREET EACH WAY.
AND RIGHT NOW ON TC JESSER, THEY'VE ALREADY BUILT QUITE A FEW OF THEM.
AND SO BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO PARKING FOR COMPANY, THEY ARE PARKING
[01:25:01]
IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.AND SO THIS WILL ONLY CAUSE US MORE BECAUSE THEY WON'T HAVE PARKING FOR THREE HOMES PUT ON ONE ON THAT LOT.
SO WE'RE ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE CONSIDER, UM, EVEN WE DO HAVE THE CHAPTER 42 IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE HAVE HAD TO GET IT FOR THAT LITTLE SECTION, UM, SIGNED AND WE HAVE SUBMITTED IT.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHEN AT WHAT POINT YOU GUYS GET THAT.
UM, BUT IT WAS SUBMITTED AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED.
AND SO WE'RE WONDERING WHERE DOES THAT FALL RIGHT NOW WITH YOU GUYS? SO WE'RE JUST ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE CONSIDER, YOU KNOW, NOT PUTTING THIS TYPE OF HOMES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE'D LOVE TO HAVE NEW HOMES ON THAT LOT, BUT NOT THESE TYPE OF HOMES.
ALRIGHT, I'LL GO BACK TO JUDY HARDEN.
ALRIGHT, UM, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE ON ITEM 1 31, STELLA LAMAR.
UM, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ONLINE OR IN THE CHAT THAT WANTS TO ADDRESS? NO.
ALL RIGHT, SPELL YOUR LAST NAME PLEASE.
I AM A LONGTIME RESIDENT OF THE YORKDALE COMMUNITY AND I DO AGREE WITH THE REST OF MY NEIGHBORS THAT WE DO NOT NEED THIS TYPE OF BUILDING, UH, DWELLING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THAT WOULD REALLY ACTUALLY CHANGE THE LOOKS OF IT.
SO WE DO, UH, WE WOULD LOVE FOR Y'ALL TO CONSIDER KEEPING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS, AS OUR DEEP RESTRICTIONS STATES.
AND THAT'S ONE DWELLING ON ONE LOT, NOT THREE DWELLINGS ON TWO LOTS.
AND I HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU GUYS WILL REMEMBER THAT.
AND THE PERSON THAT'S DONE IT, THAT'S DONE IT, I REALLY BITTERLY AGAINST IT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE HE'S DISRESPECTING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
ALRIGHT, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON ITEM? YES.
CARLOS, SPELL YOUR LAST NAME PLEASE.
WE NEED YOUR NAME SPELLED FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE, SIR.
ARE WE GOOD? GO RIGHT AHEAD, SIR.
I'M ACTUALLY, UH, WELL, I, I AM THE DEVELOPER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'M ACTUALLY A GRADUATE OF LONE STAR COLLEGE SYSTEM.
SO I'VE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR A WHILE MYSELF.
UH, WE ARE NOT A, A GOLIATH AS THE, AS THE LADY PUT, AND OUR BUILDING HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTED.
WE ARE NOT BUILDING THREE HOUSES ON TWO LOTS.
WE HAVE A 20,000 PLUS SQUARE FOOT LOT.
EXACTLY 20,867 SQUARE FEET TO BE EXACT WITH A HOUSE TO THE WEST SIDE.
WE ARE KEEPING THE HOUSE REMODELING IT, AND WE ARE USING THE OTHER TWO LOTS TO BUILD SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON ONE SINGLE LOT.
THESE ARE NOT GOING TO BE SHARED DRIVEWAY, THESE ARE NOT GONNA BE DUPLEXES, THESE ARE NOT GONNA BE TOWN HOMES.
SO EVERYTHING I'M HEARING HAS BEEN COMPLETELY MISREPRESENTED.
AND NOT ONLY THAT, PLANS HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY FOR, FOR THIS.
SO I JUST KIND OF WANT TO CLEAR EVERY, YOU KNOW, CLEAR ANY KIND OF MISREPRESENTATION AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT WHAT WE ARE PLANNING TO DO IS BUILD ONLY TWO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON TWO LOTS AND THE THIRD LOT WE ARE GOING TO KEEP THE HOUSE AND WE ARE GONNA REMODEL IT, AND WE ARE GONNA SELL IT.
WE ARE NOT BUILDING, UM, TOWN HOMES.
WE ARE NOT BUILDING SHARED DRIVEWAYS.
WE ARE NOT DOING ANY OF THAT NONSENSE.
SO THE TRAFFIC ISSUES, THE PARKING ISSUES, UM, THE WRONG ELEMENT COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY.
LIKE I MENTIONED, WE'RE A MOM AND POP BUILDER, UM, LIKE THE EARLIER BUILDER, LIKE THE OTHER GENTLEMAN THAT IS THERE, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALSO PART OF THE COMMUNITY.
UM, I, I GREW UP IN THE, IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GONNA COME IN HERE AND DO SOMETHING THAT'S NOT GONNA PLEASE THE NEIGHBORS.
WE'VE SPOKEN TO THE NEIGHBORS, UM, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY NOT HERE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T EXPECT ANYBODY TO ACTUALLY COME IN AND OPPOSE.
SO, I MEAN, YEAH, WE, WE'VE BEEN MISREPRESENTED AND I'M, I'M WONDERING AS TO WHY.
AND ALSO, LIKE I MENTIONED, I JUST WANTED
[01:30:01]
TO CLEAR THE AIR THAT WE ARE NOT BUILDING THREE HOUSES ON TWO LOTS.WE ARE BUILDING TWO HOUSES ON TWO LOTS.
THE THIRD LOT IS GONNA KEEP THE HOUSE, IT'S GONNA BE REMODELED AND IT'S GONNA BE SOLD.
SO, UM, YEAH, NO SHARED DRIVEWAYS, NO TOWN HOMES, NO, UH, NO DUPLEXES, NOTHING LIKE THAT.
SINGLE FAMILY HOMES? YES, SIR.
UM, UH, STAY ON THE LINE THERE IN CASE, UH, OUR COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF YOU AS THE APPLICANT.
COMMERS QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONER ROBBINS LEGAL MS. MICKELSON, COULD YOU SPEAK TO THE DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT THEY'RE RAISING AND WHERE THE CONFUSION IS, PLEASE? YEAH, I, I CAN.
AND SO OUR, UM, YOLANDA WOODS LOOKED AT THE DEED RESTRICTIONS.
SO THE DEED, ORIGINAL DEED RESTRICTIONS EXPIRED IN JANUARY OF 1999.
UM, NEW DEED RESTRICTIONS WERE ATTEMPTED, BUT APPARENTLY THE RESTRICTIONS WERE, WERE FAILED BECAUSE THE PROPER PROCEDURES WERE NOT FOLLOWED.
SO THEREFORE THE DEED RESTRICTIONS EXPIRED BACK THEN.
THERE ARE SOME OTHER NEARBY PROPERTIES THAT ARE SUBJECT TO A MINIMUM LOT SIZE ORDINANCE.
THESE LOTS ARE NOT INCLU, THIS PROPERTY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT, THAT WAS A LOT SIZE ORDINANCE FOR 7,500 SQUARE FEET.
AND THE PLAT MAP THAT, UM, SETS THIS SETS THAT INCLUDES THESE LOTS, UM, RESTRICTS THE LOTS TO AT LEAST 5,000 SQUARE FEET AND NO LESS THAN 50, UH, FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE.
AND ALL THESE LOTS MEET THAT REQUIREMENT, THOSE TWO REQUIREMENTS, I GUESS.
SO IT APPEARS TO NOT VIOLATE RESTRICTIONS AND EITHER SEPARATELY FILED OR ON THE FACE OF THE PLAT, MR. VAR.
AND SO I'M CURIOUS, THE OTHER GENTLEMAN, THE OTHER BUILDER WHO'S WAS, YOU KNOW, HIS, UM, PROPOSAL WAS REJECTED.
IS THAT A DIFFERENT AREA? IS IT D YEAH, I, I'M NOT SURE WE'D HAVE, I'D HAVE TO GO BACK IN AND LOOK AT WHERE THAT WAS.
YOU ONLY HAVE ONE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
EVERYONE WILL HAVE ONLY ONE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IN THIS MEETING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LEGAL, FOR OUR SPEAKER, THE APPLICANT? UM, I'M WONDERING IF THE, UM, APPLICANT HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HERE TODAY.
IS THERE APPLICANT THERE? UM, I'M HERE.
UH, I'M, UH, THIS IS ACTUALLY MARCO.
I'M ACTUALLY THE BUSINESS PARTNER TO CARLOS.
WAIT, BEFORE YOU GO FORWARD, I NEED YOU TO STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND SPELL YOUR LAST NAME IF YOU'RE GONNA SPEAK.
YEAH, THIS IS MARCO, LAST NAME SPELLED D-U-Q-U-E.
ALRIGHT, WELL COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER CULVER HAD A QUESTION, SO WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION AND WE'LL ASK, THAT WAS MY QUESTION.
WHETHER OR NOT, WHETHER OR NOT THEY'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE RAISING THE CONCERN TODAY? YEAH, SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PERSON THIS, AND THIS IS CARLOS AGAIN.
I, I BELIEVE THE QUESTION SORRY, SORRY MARCO TO INTERRUPT YOU.
ONE OF, YEAH, I MEAN, I, I CAN CARLOS WHO, WHO JUST SPOKE AMONG MARCO CARLOS, RIGHT? IT IT WAS CARLOS.
ALRIGHT, SO THE PERSON WHO'S ALREADY SPOKEN CANNOT SPEAK AGAIN AT THIS MOMENT, ALTHOUGH OTHER YOU ARE THE APPLICANT.
SO YEAH, WE'VE ACTUALLY TALKED TO ALL THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS, UH, ON ALONG OUR STREET.
WE INTRODUCED OURSELVES WHEN WE FIRST ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY AND WE KIND OF, WE GAVE 'EM THE INTENTIONS OF WHAT, WHAT OUR GOAL WAS.
AND IT WAS, YOU KNOW, A, A BIG E EMPTY LOT THAT, UH, OR IT WAS THREE LOTS THAT THE HOME, UH, YOU KNOW, WAS SUB WE'RE TRYING TO SUBDIVIDE IT ON.
AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY PRETTY EXCITED ON IT.
'CAUSE THEY SAID THAT, UH, THE HOME THAT WE'RE PLANNING TO REMODEL BELONGED TO, UH, A FAMILY WHERE, YOU KNOW, UH, SHE HAD BEEN THERE FOR QUITE A, QUITE A LONG TIME.
UM, SHE HAD PASSED AND, YOU KNOW, WE, WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, BUT ALONG WITH RENOVATING THE PROPERTY, WE WANTED TO BUILD TWO NEW HOMES FOR TWO NEW FAMILIES TO COME IN.
AND I KNOW THE GENTLEMAN HAD CONCERNS OF KIDS PLAYING ON THE STREET.
OUR INTENTIONS ARE TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING, PROVIDE A NICE QUALITY HOME WITH PARKING SO THAT THERE'S NO ISSUES.
AND WE CAN GET NEW FAMILIES IN THAT AREA BASED ON, UH, THE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION.
WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SUBMITTED PLANS.
THEY LIKE, LIKE MY BUSINESS PARTNER SAID, THERE WON'T BE TOWN HOMES OR DUPLEXES LIKE THAT.
THEY WILL ACTUALLY BE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, UM, THAT FIT THE MOLD OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TOO.
'CAUSE AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TOO AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE RESPECT THE, UH, THE STYLE AND THE DESIGN, UH, OF THE COMMUNITY.
BUT AS WE SPOKE TO THE NEIGHBORS, THEY WERE ACTUALLY PRETTY EXCITED.
THAT'S WHY WE WERE FAIRLY SURPRISED TODAY WHEN WE HAD SOMEONE OR SEVERAL PEOPLE, UM, HAVE CONCERNS ON IT.
SO WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS ALL THE CONCERNS AND THEY, THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE WITH THIS, UH, THIS PROJECT AND THIS DEVELOPMENT.
[01:35:01]
UH, THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR COMMENTS.I WOULD, UH, YOU'RE HERE VIRTUALLY, SO I'LL REMIND YOU, I HAVE A LOT OF SHAKING HEADS HERE IN MY AUDIENCE, UM, WHO HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY SPEAKING WITH YOU.
AND I WOULD VERY MUCH RECOMMEND YOU DO MEET WITH A NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN IN YOUR NEIGHBORS BECAUSE THEY'RE HERE, THEY'RE VERY VOCAL AND THEY'RE VERY CONCERNED.
AND IT COULD WELL BE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS TO PARTICULAR QUESTIONS.
SO YEAH, I MEAN, WE'VE HAD, WE'VE HAD OUR, UH, WE'VE HAD OUR SIGNAGE WITH OUR PHONE NUMBER, UH, QCR CODE THAT HAS THE LINK TO WHAT TYPE OF PROJECTS THAT WE DO.
SINCE WE PURCHASED A LOT BACK IN NOVEMBER.
UM, AGAIN, WE'VE PASSED OUT SEVERAL BUSINESS CARDS ALONG THE NEIGHBORING HOUSES ON OUR STREET.
AND THE SIGNAGE HAD OUR INFORMATION.
I MEAN, WE WELCOME ANY QUESTIONS THAT ANY OF THE COMMUNITY HAS.
SO THAT'S WHY, AGAIN, WE'RE A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, NOT, NOT CAUGHT OFF GUARD, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT IF IT'S WE'RE THEY THINK THAT WE HAVE THE INTENTION OF GENTRIFYING.
I MEAN, OUR GOAL IS THERE, THERE'S, THERE'S NO HOMES ON THIS HUGE LOT AND WE'RE JUST TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, DEVELOP TWO NEW, NEW CONSTRUCTION HOMES IN THAT EMPTY SPACE OF WHERE THAT LOT, THOSE THAT BIG LOT IS.
ALRIGHT, WELL STAY ON THE LINE.
I HAVE ONE MORE SPEAKER AND WE MIGHT BE REFERRING BACK TO YOU WITH SOME QUESTIONS.
STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD PLEASE.
SO I'M A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY IN YORKDALE.
I HAVE LISTENED TO ALL THE COMMENTS AND I THINK I MUST SPEAK, UM, I WAS THE YORKDALE CITY CLUB PRESIDENT FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
I'M HEARING NEW THINGS, UH, DURING THIS, UM, THIS SPEAKER AND EVERYTHING.
I HAVE NOT EVER MET, UH, STILLMORE AND THE NEIGHBORS ON THERE.
WE HAVE JUST, UH, CHAPTER 42 FOR THAT AREA DOWN THERE IS ONLY 25 HOMES THAT WERE MISTAKENLY LEFT OUT WHEN THEY APPLIED FOR OVER THE 407 OTHER HOMES THAT WAS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND ALL OF THOSE NEIGHBORS OVER THERE SIGNED THAT CHAPTER 42, WHICH WAS TURNED IN, THAT WAS TURNED IN LAST, UH, NOT THIS WEEK BUT LAST WEEK MONDAY TO PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT.
SO I, WHO MR. CARLOS SPOKE WITH AND WHO'S IN AGREEMENT WITH HIM DOING SUCH.
BUT THOSE NEIGHBORS DOWN THERE ARE ALL AGAINST HIM DOING THAT DOWN THERE AS HE STATED IS A HUGE LOT.
THREE LOTS, MAYBE IT'S THREE LOTS ONCE HE DIVIDE, BUT AT THE MOMENT THAT IS ONLY TWO LOTS.
IT'S A HOME ON ONE LOT AND THEN IT'S AN EMPTY LIGHT THAT THE LADY ON NEXT DOOR THAT WOULD BE LOTS ONE 40 AND 1 41, WHICH HE'S TALKING ABOUT BUILDING THAT WAS STATED FROM SOME OF THOSE NEIGHBORS WHO WAS ALARMED BY IT, THAT HE WOULD TAKE THAT 1 41 LOT AND IT WOULD BE SUBDIVIDED AND REPLANTED FOR THREE HOMES ON IT.
SO THAT IS WHAT THE UPROAR IS ABOUT.
NO, WE ARE NOT HAPPY THAT WE HAVE HOMES OF THAT CALIBER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DOES CONSIST OF OWNERS PURCHASING THEIR OWN LOTS, BUILDING THEIR OWN HOME ACCORDING TO THE, THEIR, UH, THE WAY THEY WANT IT BUILT.
SO NO, WE'RE NOT AND WE'RE NOT HAPPY WITH IT COMING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE YES, AS WE STATED, IT IS A TWO LANE, UH, THROUGH FARE.
THIS IS THE MAIN THROUGH FARE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND THAT END THERE CONGESTED AND WITH, I'M SORRY.
MS. JONES FIELDS A QUESTION FOR YOU.
BOTH OF YOU, TWO TWO OF THE SPEAKERS HAVE MENTIONED APPLYING FOR CHAPTER 42.
CHAPTER 42 ALREADY APPLIES TO YOU.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MINIMUM LOT SIZE OR A SETBACK ORDINANCE? WE, UH, WHAT? OKAY, THIS IS, MAY I EXPLAIN IT TO YOU? IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BACK IN TWO 15, I MEAN 2015 WE APPLIED FOR THE SPECIAL MINIMUM SIZED LOT SIZE BLOCK.
WE DID THAT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE HAD TO BREAK IT UP IN TWO SECTIONS BECAUSE THE A NEIGHBORHOOD WAS SO, UH, HUMONGOUS.
UNDERSTOOD, AND OF COURSE WE DID.
BUT CHAPTER 42 THAT WAS RECENTLY APPLIED FOR, FOR THE MINIMUM LOT, IT WAS FOR THOSE 25 HOMES.
THAT'S AT THAT END WHERE HE IS BUILDING.
IT'S JUST 25 HOMES THAT WAS LEFT OUT.
UH, MISTAKENLY HUMAN ERROR, BUT IT WAS LEFT OUT AND WE ARE TRYING TO AMEND THAT AND HE JUST, YOU KNOW, GOT BEFORE US ON THAT.
WELL, UH, ALRIGHT, SO IT'S MINIMUM LOT SIZE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE HE GOT AHEAD OF THE APPLICATION.
YEAH, I'M NOT 100% SURE BUT UM, WE DO ENCOURAGE YOU TO PASS MINIMUM LOT SIZE FOR THOSE REMAINING HOUSES THAT WERE LEFT OUT.
HOWEVER, UM, SINCE HIS APPLICATION PROBABLY WELL DEFINITELY CAME IN BEFORE YOUR
[01:40:01]
OWN, UM, HE WOULD PROBABLY BE GRANDFATHERED REGARDLESS.THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD STOP THAT PROCESS, BUT IT DOES MEAN THAT THAT WOULD NOT AFFECT THESE TWO LOTS.
UM, OR THE CHANGING OF THESE TWO LOTS.
MS. MICKELSON, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? NO, I, YOU KNOW, BASED ON WHAT WE'VE HEARD, I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY CORRECT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PLAID APPLICATION CAME IN BEFORE THE RESTRICTION, RIGHT? THESE LOTS ARE ROUGHLY 7,000 AND ALMOST 9,000 SQUARE FEET.
AM I READING THAT RIGHT? MM-HMM
AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE, EVEN IF THEY STICK WITH THE 7,500 MINIMUM LOT SIZE THAT IS ON THE REST OF THEM, THAT'S AT LEAST CLOSE ON THE TWO SMALLER ONES.
RIGHT? SO, UM, UM, ALRIGHT, SO THAT, THAT BASICALLY CLOSES THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTED TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON THIS ITEM? ITEM THAT WOULD, I WANTED TO SAY THAT UM, THERE'S A SPECIAL NEW THAT WAS SUBMITTED LAST WEEK YES.
BUT BECAUSE THE APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED A MONTH BEFORE, IT'S NOT APPLICABLE TO THIS PROPERTY.
AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE EDUCATED STAFF WHO HAVE THEIR TIMELINES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND SO THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS HE SUBMITTED THREE WEEKS BEFORE YOU DID SO AS WE THOUGHT MM-HMM
BUT AGAIN, THAT DOESN'T RESTRICT YOU FROM GOING FORWARD AND CONTINUING 'CAUSE IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO PROTECT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO WE RECOMMEND YOU CONTINUE IN ON THAT.
HOWEVER, THIS, THIS PLAT WOULD BE GRANDFATHERED IN.
SO I WOULD RECOMMEND TO, IS IT MARCO WHO'S THERE IN CARLOS? UM, IF YOU COULD, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A BUNCH OF PHONE CALLS, I'M SURE I'M GETTING NODDING HEADS.
UM, BUT I WOULD VERY MUCH RECOMMEND YOU GET TOGETHER, UM, AND PLAN A MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT BASICALLY SO YOU COULD ANSWER QUESTIONS AND PERHAPS TAKE THEIR INPUTS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE IN FACT BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND MATCHING, YOU KNOW, THE ETHOS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO I DO RECOMMEND THAT, UM, YOU CAN GET, UH, IN TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE INDIVIDUALLY THROUGH OUR STAFF.
WE HAVE ALL THEIR INFORMATION, CORRECT? YES.
SO CAN I GET, UM, A VERBAL THAT YOU WILL SCHEDULE A MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN? SURE.
WELL THAT WAS A TOUGH SECOND THERE, SIR.
WELL, WELL IF, IF, UM, UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW COMMISSIONER CONFIDENT WE, WE FEEL
DO WE NEED TO DEFER ON THIS TO, TO ALLOW THAT? I'M, I, WE'VE DONE THIS IN THE PAST AND I KNOW, I KNOW SOME OF US ARE NOT GONNA BE IN FAVOR BECAUSE HE MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, BUT, UM, I SAW A BUNCH OF HEADS NODDING NO INITIALLY AND THEN A BUNCH OF HEADS WHEN YOU WERE SPEAKING CHAIR NODDING YES.
SO I WANT TO BELIEVE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.
UM, AND THAT WE COULD JUST MOVE FORWARD TO ACTING ON THIS VERSUS DEFERRING.
BUT IF WE DON'T FEEL TOO CONFIDENT ABOUT THE OUTCOME, I WOULD JUST ASK FOR A DEFERRAL.
COMMISSIONER CLARK, UH, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND I'LL BE ONE OF THOSE THAT YEAH, I KNOW YOU LOOKED AT ME.
IT'S, YOU KNOW, BUT THERE IS REALLY NO BASIS TO DEFER.
UM, WE WOULD REQUEST THAT THEY MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORS 'CAUSE YOU ALWAYS WANT EVERYONE TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS WITH EACH OTHER.
UM, BUT THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING THEY, THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO DO.
AND SO I'M NOT SURE WHY WE WOULD WANNA, YOU KNOW, DEFER BECAUSE THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO OTHER OUTCOME THAT'LL HAPPEN.
IT'S NOT LIKE A LOT SIZE WILL CHANGE.
SO, UM, THAT'S JUST MY COMMENT ON THAT.
ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER, WE'RE OPEN.
YES, WE, OUR OUR PHONE NUMBER IS LISTED.
WE'RE, WE'RE OPEN TO TO, TO SPEAK WITH THE COMMUNITY.
OUR PHONE NUMBER IS ON THE, ON THE SIGN AND AND WE WELCOME IT.
THAT'S, THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL.
DID YOU, ARE YOU CLOSING THE COMMENT SECTION? YES, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK.
I'VE GOT SOMEONE AHEAD OF YOU MA'AM IF YOU WOULD COME UP, OKAY.
IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND SPELL YOUR LAST NAME.
MY NAME IS FELICIA LIGHT HYPHEN WILLIAMS. THAT'S L-I-G-H-T HYPHEN W-I-L-L-A-M-S.
THANK YOU MS. LIGHT WILLIAMS. GO AHEAD.
AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE, IF HE'S WANTING TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND HE SAID HE'S APPROACHED US, WE HAVE CIVIC CLUB MEETINGS.
NOT ONCE HAVE I SEEN HIM THERE.
SO WHEN YOU'RE SAYING YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, IF YOU TRULY DO, YOU'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET ALL OF US.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE SHAKING OUR HEADS.
NO, THEY HAVEN'T TALKED TO US.
WE ARE HERE TODAY BECAUSE OF THE VARIANCE IT GAVE US THE TIME TO COME HERE AND VOICE OUR OPINIONS.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE SHOCKED UNLESS THEY DON'T THINK THAT WE CAN READ.
SO ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU'RE WANTING TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, BY ALL MEANS PLEASE SEE US AT 3 3 1 6 HIGHLAND PARK.
SEVEN O'CLOCK SECOND, SECOND TUESDAY OF THE MONTH WHEN WE HAVE OUR CIVIC CLUB MEETINGS AND COME AND BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
[01:45:01]
THANK YOU MS. LIGHT WILLIAMS. APPRECIATE IT.UH, WE HAD A, A, A GENTLEMAN WHO, UH, WAS ONLINE, WHO'S SPEAKING? YES.

AND, AND AS THEY WENT AROUND AND SOLICITED SIGNATURES TO AND OF THIS TO SUPPORT THE ARTICLE 24, NOBODY HAS IT HAS INDICATED ANYTHING, ANYTHING OTHER THAN THEY'RE NOT IN FAVOR OF IT.
SO IF THEY REALLY, TRULY WANT TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, I WOULD ADVISE THEM TO COME TO THAT MEETING AND BE PREPARED TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AND MAYBE PROVIDE US WITH A PLAN ON WHAT TYPE OF HOUSING THEY PLAN TO BUILD.
'CAUSE WE ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY'RE GONNA BUILD THESE STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN DEVELOPMENT, UH, HOMES THAT WE'VE SEEN IN, IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WE REALLY DON'T CARE FOR IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO ALL I ASK IS THAT THEY COME AND BE AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONER, DOES THAT FINISH YOUR COMMENTS? YES.
SO STAFF, MR. RODRIGUEZ, IF WE'D MAKE SURE THAT SOMEONE REACHES OUT TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDING THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE, LET THEM KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF IT IS SINCE THEY HAD SAID THEY'VE NOT HEARD ANYTHING.
BUT IT HAS JUST BEEN A WEEK, FOLKS.

THAT IS ONE OF THE TOOLS WE HAVE TO HELP YOU PROTECT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, OBVIOUSLY WE TALKED THROUGH THE LEGAL ISSUE ABOUT DEED RESTRICTIONS AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE RAMIFICATION OF, UH, THE, THE MINIMUM LOT AREA WHERE THESE LOTS ARE, YOU KNOW, PLUS MINUS, YOU KNOW, 9,000 SQUARE FEET.
ANYWAY, SO WITH THAT, I, I COULD GO WITH THE MOTION IN IN HAND.

THE PURPOSE OF THE REPLAY IS TO CREATE SIX SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
THE SITE IS A REPL OF SIX LOTS FROM THE TRAILS OF KATY, SECTION SIX SUBDIVISION, AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO NOT PROVIDE COS WITH THE NEW REPL OF SIX LOTS.
STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THIS REQUEST.
THE DEVELOPER OWNS SIX LOTS WITHIN TRAILS OF KD SECTION SIX.
THE GOAL OF THIS REQUEST IS TO SIMPLY ADJUST THE INTERIOR LOT LINES.
TYPICALLY THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH AN AMENDING PLAT, BUT THE APPLICANT DECIDED TO GO THROUGH THE REPL PROCESS.
TO ACHIEVE THIS STRICT INTERPRETATION REQUIRES COMPENSATING OPEN SPACE TO BE PROVIDED FOR LOTS LESS THAN 5,000 SQUARE FEET.
JUSTIFICATION FOR SUPPORTING THIS REQUEST IS THE COS REQUIREMENT FROM THE ORIGINAL SUBDIVISION WILL REMAIN THE SAME.
THE REPL OF THE SIX LOTS DOES NOT HAVE AN EFFECT ON A COS REQUIREMENT FROM THE ORIGINAL SUBDIVISION.
AS HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN ON THE SCREEN, MOST OF THE LOTS ARE ONLY BEING SHIFTED LESS THAN ONE FEET AWAY FROM THE PREVIOUS LOCATION.
REVIEW BY LEGAL INDICATES THAT THIS PLAT DOES NOT FILE, SEP DOES NOT VIOLATE SEPARATELY FILED DEED RESTRICTIONS.
STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO GRANT THE REQUEST OF VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLAT SUBJECT TO THE CCPC 1 0 1 FORM CONDITIONS.

AS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN, THE APPLICANT REQUESTING A VARIANT TO EXCEED INTER INTERSECTION PACING BY NOT PROVIDING A NORTH SOUTH PUBLISHED STREET CONNECTION ALONG THE NORTHERN GP BOUNDARY.
THAT IS THE SUPPORT THAT WE GOT.
OO, ROAD TRACK GPS PROPOSES A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE NORTHERN GP AREA IS IN THE FLOODWAY A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN ALONG SPRING CREEK.
AND THIS AREA WILL BE USED FOR DETENTION AND OPEN SPACE PURPOSES.
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN FUTURE STOCK ROAD AND BEFORD ROAD IS ABOUT 10,300 FEET, WHICH IS ALMOST TWO MILES.
A NORTH STOP PUBLIC STREET IS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS INTERSECTION FACING REQUIREMENT, BUT REQUIRING A NORTH STOP PUBLIC STREET ALONG THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY WILL NEED TO CROSS THE EXISTING EXTENSIVE CREEK AND FLOODWAY AND A 60 FEET WIDE PIPELINE EASEMENT MAKING THE PROJECT I FEASIBLE.
SO GRANTED ON THE VARI WILL NOT BE INJURIOUS TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE TRAFFIC.
CIRCULATION WILL BE ADDRESSED BY THE ADJACENT MAYO THOROUGHFARE AND ALSO THE PROPOSED GP WILL PROVIDE MULTIPLE STREET CONNECTION TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE INTERNAL CONNECTIVITY.

THE APPLICANT REQUEST A VARIANCE TO ALLOW A FIVE FOOT BUILDER LINE INSTEAD OF 25 ALONG 75TH STREET.
AMIA THOROUGHFARE STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.
IN 2018, THE S THE SEPARATE PROPERTY WAS PLOTTED AS THE COMMERCIAL RESERVE AND DEDICATED A 10 FOOT 10 FOOT FOR THE WIDENING OF THE 75TH STREET.
SO 75TH STREET IS A MAJOR THE, WITH A PLAN RIGHT AWAY WITH A 80 FEET.
AT THAT TIME, PLANNING COMMISSION ALSO GRANTED A VARIANT TO ALLOW A FIVE FOOT ALONG THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.
SO THE APPLICANT, NOW WE PLOT IN THE PROPERTY TO CREATE A SHARED DRIVEWAY DEVELOPMENT WITH TWO SINGLE FAMILY LOTS WITH ASSETS TO AVENUE K AND WOULD LIKE TO MAINTAIN THE FIVE FOOT BORDERLINE ALONG 75TH STREET.
DEDICATION IN 2018 MADE THE PROPERTY DEATH SMALLER FROM 50 FEET TO 40 FEET.
SO WITH THIS PROPERTY REDUCTION AND THE REQUIRED 25 FEET BUILDING LINE BY THE ORDINANCE, WE MADE THE P THE DEVELOPMENT IN INVISIBLE.
SO THE CURRENT PROPOSAL WILL PRESERVE A 19 FEET PEDESTRIAN ROOM ALONG 75 STREET AND WITH MINIMUM SIX FEET SIDEWALK, FIVE FEET SAFETY BUFFER, AND THREE INCH CALIBER TREES ALONG AVENUE K.
THE PEDESTRIAN ROOM WILL VARY BETWEEN 13 FEET TO 20 FEET AND WE'LL HAVE A MINIMUM FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK AND FOUR FEET SAFETY BUFFER MINIMUM.

SO THIS SIDE ARE LOCATED ALONG DENNIS STREET, WHICH IS 20 FOOT WIDE RIGHT AWAY.
AND BOTH PROPERTY ARE REQUIRED TO DEDICATE 15 FOOT RIGHT AWAY, I MEAN 15 FOOT TO MAKE IT 50.
HOWEVER, UM, PER THE STIPEND, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DEDICATE THE ENTIRE 30 FOOT RIGHT AWAY WITH THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH, SO SOUTH OF DENNIS STREET.
AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE DEPTH OF THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH IS VERY, UM, IT'S SMALL, IT'S ONLY 40 FEET LONG, SO THAT WOULD TAKE A LOT OF, A LOT OF DEVELOPER AREA.
SO STAFF COORDINATED WITH THE APPLICANT AND SUGGESTED ALSO TO CREATE SHE DRIVEWAY DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTH PROPERTY INSTEAD OF PRO, PROVIDING 10 FEET, NOT 10 NARROW PHONE LOADING LOT.
AND UM, SO RIGHT NOW STAT RECOMMENDATION IS TO DEFER BOTH PLA TO ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE, UM, TO CONSIDER DEVELOPMENT OPTION AND TO ALLOW TIME STAFF TO PER TO DO MORE FIRST STUDY AND REVIEW.
DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION? THE WHAT? DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION? YES, PLEASE.

ARE THERE QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER, IF YOU TOOK THE 30 FEET RIGHT AWAY, HOW ARE YOU GONNA EXTEND DENNIS EVER WITH THAT OTHER PIECE OF LAND? I MEAN, YOU'D NEVER GET 30 FOOT RIGHT AWAY FROM THAT.
SO THEY, IT WON'T HAVE, IT WON'T HELP, WILL IT, IT WON'T ALIGN ON CHANCE LAND TIDE WITH THE STREETS, WITH THE EAT RIGHT.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS MORE WITH THE APPLICANT.
YES, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T SEE YOU.

'CAUSE WHAT'S THERE NOW REALLY ONLY ALLOWS ONE CAR TO GO THROUGH.

AND ON TOP OF THAT, WHERE'S THE SIDEWALK GONNA GO? WHERE IS EXTRA PARKING GONNA GO? AS IT IS, THERE'S ONLY ONE

HANDICAPPED PARKING IN THAT AREA AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN, THAT BELONGS TO THE BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET.SO AS A HANDICAPPED PERSON IN THE AREA, HOW AM I GONNA BE ABLE TO PARK? I HAVE COMPANY THAT COMES, WE HAVE ELDERLY PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA COME.
THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN THAT SMALL STRIP.
IT'S LIKE WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO WHATEVER THEY WANNA DO ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET, BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT WE NEED ON THIS SIDE OF THE STREET AND THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO DO THAT.
SO BEFORE WE GO FURTHER, BEFORE YOU STEP AWAY, SO MS. RODRIGUEZ, WHAT THE VARIANCE IS FOR THE DEDICATION? CORRECT? SO HERE, EXCUSE ME.

SO, UH, MS. WASHINGTON, UM, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO, THANK YOU.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS, THERE'S A LOT TO BE DISCUSSED HERE AND I KNOW THAT STAFF IS WORKING VERY, VERY CLOSELY WITH THE DEVELOPER TO GET THE MOST EQUITABLE PLAN.
THIS DOESN'T MEET CHAPTER 42 ON ITS FACE, SO THEY'RE MEETING WITH STAFF TO MAKE SOME KINDS OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WHAT MIGHT BE THE BETTER ALTERNATIVES.
AND I'M SURE THAT STAFF WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT.

IF IT WAS, UH, A P AND BEAM IN, IN, JUST TO CUT OFF THAT PORTION OF IT, IT WOULD BE NO PROBLEM.
BUT BACK IN THE EIGHTIES OR NINETIES, WHENEVER THEY DID THIS ADDITION, THE SLAB, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES IS, IS QUITE LARGE.
UM, SO WE WOULD LIKE ASK THE COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER US ALLOWING US TO KEEP THAT PORTION AND JUST RAISING THE WALL UP.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO ENCROACH ANY FURTHER.
JUST ADD TO THE HEIGHT OF THE WALL SO THAT THE PROPERTY LOOKS AS AESTHETIC BECAUSE THE CURRENT ROOF LINE IS, IS SHARP COMPARED TO WHAT THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT'S GONNA BE.
DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR STATEMENT, MR. GASPAR? YES.
OKAY, STAY THERE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, QUESTIONS FOR OUR SPEAKER? THE APPLICANT, MR. GASPARD, I MEAN, I JUST, I CHECKED THE DEED RESTRICTIONS AND SO YOU ARE REALLY DEED RESTRICTED, WHICH WAS AN OPT-IN OPTION FOR THAT PROPERTY.

WE DO, WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY STAND BACK.
IF THE WALL STAYS AND HE EXTENDS IT, HE STILL VIOLATES THE DE RESTRICTION THAT STILL, IT STILL VIOLATES THE DEED RESTRICTION AND IT EXACERBATES IT.
I JUST, GIRLS, I'M CONFUSED WHAT WALL, WHAT, WHAT WOULD SAY THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING? SEE THAT YELLOW PART? YEAH.
IT VIOLATES THE DEED RESTRICTION.
IT'S REMAINS GRANDFATHERED, BUT WHEN HE STARTS TO BUILD ABOVE IT, THAT VIOLATES THE BECOMES.
IT'S NOT A FENCE, IT'S A WALL.
IT'S ADDING TO AN EXISTING NO, NO, NO.
WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GRANT YOU THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION SAY YOU NO, IIII GET IT, BUT I GUESS I'LL JUST LEAVE NOW.
I, WELL
WELL, WELL, MR. GASPAR ONE, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR STAYING ALL THIS TIME TO BE THERE.
I LEARNED A LOT LIKE I WAS INTERESTED, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
UM, I, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF VARIANCE ALLOWED WITHIN YOUR SUBDIVISION, THE HO OR ANYTHING ELSE? THERE'S NOT.
AND THE LONGEST SERVING PRESIDENT AND THE RESTRICTIONS PERSON, THERE'S NO, BY LAW WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GRANT AN EXCEPTION.
AND THAT I'M AFRAID IS THAT, THAT'S THE ANSWER.
HEY, SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME MR. GASPAR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A RESTAURANT WITH OUTDOOR SEATING IN, IN AN EXISTING STRUCTURE.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM THE OFF STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW 28 PARKING SPACES.
INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 49 STAFF RECOMMENDS DEFERRAL TO PERFORM A SITE VISIT AND TO FURTHER ANALYZE THE EFFECTS OF PROPOSED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO DELANO STREET.
STAFF HAS RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMENT FROM THE PUBLIC OBJECTING TO THIS REQUEST'S IMPACT ON STREET PARKING.
THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.
WE'RE ON ITEM ROMAN THREE OFF STREET PARKING VARIANCE FOR 27 11.
ARE THERE QUESTIONS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN? I HAVE COMMISSIONER ALLMAN.
I HAVE, I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE APPLICATION.
SO IT SAID, UM, AND THE PURPOSE OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST, IT SAYS REDUCE OFF STREETT PARKING REQUIREMENTS FROM 49 SPACES TO 28 SPACES.
AND THEN IN ON THE SECOND PAGE SUMMARY OF VARIANCE CONDITIONS, IT SAYS REJECTION FROM 52 TO 15.
SO I'M LIKE, ONE OF 'EM IS LIKE 20 SOMETHING SPACES.
ONE OF 'EM IS 30 SOMETHING SPACES AND WHICH IS WHAT'S THE DEAL? I'LL DOUBLE, MY UNDERSTANDING IS IS 28 FROM 49, BUT I'LL DOUBLE CHECK THE SITE PLAN.
UH, THE SITE PLAN'S GONNA HAVE TO BE REVISED ANYWAY DURING THE DEFERRAL PERIOD, SO WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK THAT.
ALRIGHT, ANYONE ELSE? ALRIGHT THEN, UH, WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO DEFER.
I DIDN'T SEE YOU COME FORWARD PLEASE.
SHE'D STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND UH, I HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, ARE THEY GOING, ARE THEY GOING TO BUILD ANY OF THOSE PARKING SPACES DOWN THE WHOLE STREET OF NAGEL STREET? IF YOU'D LET, UH, MR. BUTLER HAVE A MICROPHONE.
OKAY, SO PER THE EXISTING SITE PLAN, THEIR MO THE BULK OF THEIR OFF STREET PARKING IS IN THEIR PROPERTY AND IT'S ALONG THE DEPRESSED SEGMENT OF HARRISBURG, RIGHT? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
SO IT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THEIR, THEIR PLAT.
ALRIGHT, ANYONE ELSE HERE? UM, I ALSO HAD I BELIEVE MARIA KA.
HELLO? HELLO? HI, I'M, I'M ONLINE NOW.
I AND YOUR NAME, THE MEETING ABOUT 30 MARIA KAVANAUGH.
THAT'S, UH, YOU'RE THE PERSON I WAS LOOKING FOR.
UH, SO I AM, I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF THIS, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW, AND I AM SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OVER 20 OTHER RESIDENTS IN THE AREA.
AND WE ARE OPPOSING THIS PARKING VARIANCE REQUEST FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
UM, WE THINK THAT GOING FROM 52 REQUIRED SPOTS TO 15 IS,
[02:35:01]
THAT'S JUST TOO EXTREME.UH, WE'RE GONNA JUST HAVE PEOPLE PARKING ON OUR STREET AT ALL TIMES.
UM, I ALSO SPOKE TO FIRE STATION 17 TO ONE OF THE CAPTAINS THERE, AND THEY'RE LOCATED ON NORTH DELANO AND NAVIGATION, AND THAT'S THEIR MAIN THOROUGHFARE TO GET DOWNTOWN AND TO EMANCIPATION AND POLK TO THEIR SERVICE AREA.
AND THEY, THEY ARE ALREADY IMPACTED BY THE NARROW STREETS AND THEY SAY THAT THIS WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT, UH, THE ARRIVAL TIMES AS WELL.
UM, ANOTHER THING IS THAT THE, THE STREETS ALONG, UH, NAGEL, GARROW AND ANO ARE DETERIORATED.
THERE'S DITCHES, THERE'S, THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS FOR PEDESTRIANS TO WALK.
SO HAVING MORE, UH, TRAFFIC IN THE AREA IS, UM, A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE NEIGHBORS, FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE THERE, SPECIFICALLY CHILDREN AND A COUPLE OF, UM, HANDICAPPED RESIDENTS THAT LIVE ALONG NALE.
UM, AS YOU GUYS ARE AWARE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, THERE'S A, UM, THERE'S A SCHOOL RISK MIDDLE SCHOOL THERE AND A PARK SET, A GAS PARK, WHICH ALREADY INCREASES, INCREASES TRAFFIC IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO HAVING, UH, ONLY 15 SPOTS AND A BIKE RACK, UM, AT THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT, UH, TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, WE DO BELIEVE THAT, UM, HAVING A NEW RESTAURANT OR A NEW DEVELOPMENT WITH STREET WITH INCREASED STREET TRAFFIC WILL ALSO CAUSE UM, THEFT TO INCREASE, UH, ALONG ON OUR, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF CARS AND BREAK-INS THERE.
UM, SO WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR, UH, PLANNING COMMITTEE TO RECONSIDER APPROVING THIS, UH, VARIANCE REQUEST.
AND I KNOW IT WAS DEFERRED FOR THE 27TH, BUT I WANTED TO SPEAK TODAY.
THANK, THANK YOU MS. KAVANAUGH.
YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IF THIS ITEM IS DEFERRED TO SPEAK IN TWO WEEKS ON THIS ITEM AGAIN, SO STAY TUNED.
ANYONE ELSE? ALRIGHT, SEEING NONE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION.
UM, UH, COMMISSIONER ALLMAN IS RIGHT.
I HAD THE SAME CONCERN ABOUT THE MIX UP ON THE WRITEUP, BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN MM-HMM
IT DOES STATE IT'S GOING DOWN TO 15 AND IF YOU COUNT THE SPACES MM-HMM
SO THAT'S LIKE ALMOST AN 80% REDUCTION.
SO I WOULD CAUTION WHEN YOU BRING THIS BACK FOR DEFERRAL THAT PROBABLY WOULD NOT, WOULD NOT WORK.
COMMISSIONER, ANYTHING ELSE? WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO DEFER THIS ITEM, I BELIEVE.
WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO DEFER THIS ITEM.
IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO DEFER MOTION CLARK, CLARK AND NELSON? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
ALL THOSE OPPOSED HEARING NONE.
THE ITEM IS DEFERRED FOR TWO WEEKS.
[IV. Consideration of a Studio 6 Hotel/Motel at 14402 Old Chocolate Bayou Road (Devin Crittle)]
ROMAN FOUR CONSIDERATION OF A STUDIO SIX HOTEL MOTEL AT 14 4 0 2 OLD CHOCOLATE BAY ROAD.AND THIS IS NOT THE SINGLE FAMILY STYLE HOTELS WE DISCUSSED A LITTLE, A LITTLE EARLIER TODAY.
UM, THIS SITE IS LOCATED, IS THE SAME ONE WE DID BEFORE.
SO THIS SITE IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF HOUSTON.
CITY LIMITS JUST NORTH OF BELTWAY EIGHT ALONG OLD CHOCOLATE BAYOU ROAD AND EAST OF CULLEN BOULEVARD.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW A HOTEL TO BE LOCATED WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND TO ALLOW A HOTEL TO TAKE ACCESS FROM AN ACCESS EASEMENT.
STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO DEFER THE APPLICATION TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL TIME FOR THE NEARBY RESIDENTS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT.
UH, MR. CHAIR, I'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSION WITH SOME NEARBY NEIGHBORS, UH, NONE OF WHICH WERE IN SUPPORT.
UH, THEY BROUGHT UP DIFFERENT, UH, THEY HAD DIFFERENT QUESTIONS RELATED TO 24 HOUR SURVEILLANCE, UH, POLICE, POLICE PATROL, AND, UH, OTHER SAFETY MEASURES.
UH, SO THEY HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT AND, UH, THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION ABOUT THIS REQUEST.
UH, SO WE HAVE SEEN THIS PROJECT BEFORE IN 2021 THAT WAS APPROVED FOR 64 ROOMS. NOW THIS IS IN FRONT OF US WITH 60 ROOMS, SO IT'S THE SAME EXACT REQUEST, JUST A RE REDUCTION FROM 64 TO 60.
SO I INFORM MOST OF THE RESIDENTS THAT WHETHER THIS APPLICATION IS DENIED OR APPROVED, THERE'S ALREADY A, AN APPROVAL FOR 64 ROOMS AT THIS LOCATION.
SO I JUST WANTED TO, THIS IS WHERE THE BUFFER AND THE FENCE WE TALKED ALL ABOUT ALL THOSE FENCES MM-HMM
AND ALL HE IS ASKING TO DO IS REDUCE IT BY FOUR NOW.
AND ALL OF OUR OTHER CONDITIONS ARE BASICALLY STILL THERE.
EVERYTHING'S THE SAME EXCEPT THE, THE ROOM COUNT AND SO WE'RE DEFERRING IT FOR TWO WEEKS
[02:40:01]
TO YEAH.A LOT OF THE RESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO THE RESIDENTS, UH, THERE'S NO NOTIFICATION REQUIRED WITH THIS, RIGHT.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE RESIDENTS HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GIVE US ALL OF THEIR COMMENTS.
AND, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF COMMENTS FOR THE DEVELOPER AS WELL, UH, THAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE.
SO WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE HE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE, UM, BEFORE WE COME BACK TO YOU NEXT CYCLE.
UM, ALSO, ALRIGHT, DOES THAT CONCLUDE THE PRESENTATION? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR, I HAVE A QUESTION IN OUR PACKET.
IT, THE SITE PLAN SHOWS 66 ROOMS. IS HE GOING UP OR DOWN? NO, HE'S DEFINITELY GOING DOWN.
I'VE GOT, WE'VE GOT SOMEONE ONLINE, UH, GLORIA THOMAS, MS. THOMAS, ARE YOU THERE, MS. THOMAS? YES.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, GO RIGHT AHEAD.
MY CONCERN WITH THIS IS THE FACT THAT, UH, AGAIN, THIS IS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND, UH, TO BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU, AS FAR AS THE INITIAL APPROVAL, UH, THERE'S, UH, WAS CONCERNED FOR THAT AS WELL BECAUSE, UH, UM, RESIDENTS, I, I KNOW IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR RESIDENTS TO BE NOTIFIED, BUT THERE WAS NO INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THAT.
SO, UM, I WOULD CERTAINLY BE AGAINST, UM, THIS GOING FORWARD.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE.
AND AGAIN, UH, MR. CRIDDLE AND THE STAFF WILL BE REACHING OUT TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS AND INFORMATION FROM YOU REGARDING THIS, THIS ITEM.
CAN, CAN WE, UH, GET THAT WAS MS. SAMUELS? NO, THIS IS, UH, GLORIA THOMAS.
MS. THOMAS, ARE YOU STILL THERE? YES, I'M HERE.
YOU UNDERSTAND, OUR OPTION WOULD BE HE CAN BUILD THE 66 ROOMS THAT THEY HAVE APPROVAL FOR, AND NOW THEY'RE ASKING TO REDUCE THAT BY SIX ROOMS, WHICH REDUCE FOUR ROOMS, WHICH MIGHT HELP A LITTLE BIT.
WOULD YOU RATHER THAN BUILD THE 66 OR THE 62? NO, UH, 62 IF, IF I HAD TO GO FORWARD BUT ZERO.
BUT THAT MAY NOT BE OUR OPTION.
UH, SINCE IT ALREADY HAS APPROVAL, WE WOULD JUST, I MEAN, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP REDUCE THE NUMBER.
MIGHT BE OUR ONLY, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT'S THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS IS THE REASON, IS THE REASON FOR THE, FOR THE REDUCTION THE SPACE, BECAUSE THAT IS A VERY SMALL SPACE THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO BUILD IN, IN THE BEGINNING.
AND SO I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE, FOR THE REDUCTION IN ROOMS THAT CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE, WOULD IMPACT PARKING.
ALL OF THAT'S GONNA BE A VERY CROWDED AREA WHEN THIS IS DONE.
AND AGAIN, YOUR, YOUR COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN INTO THE RECORD AND INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL.
I, YEAH, I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
WHO'S SPEAKING? ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO FORWARD.
COMMISSIONER ROBBINS, DO YOU KNOW, I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.
IT'S UNUSUAL THAT A DEVELOPER WOULD COME BACK WITH A SMALLER PROJECT AFTER THEY GOT A BIGGER PROJECT THAT WAS HIGHLY CONTESTED THROUGH MM-HMM
SO I CAN ONLY GUESS, BUT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF INFORMATION.
UH, IF YOU SEE, LOOK IN THEIR VARIANCE REQUESTS APPLICATION, THERE'S VERY MINIMAL INFORMATION THAT EXPLAINS THE REASON FOR THE DECREASE.
SO I'D BE, I HAVE A GUESS, BUT, UH, IT HASN'T BEEN.
WELL ID BE INTERESTED TO HEAR THAT.
IF WE DEFER, I'D BE INTERESTED TO HEAR YES, SIR.
WHAT, WHAT HAPPENED IN BETWEEN.
DOESN'T IT SAY IN THE, IN THE VARIANCE REQUEST THAT THE, UM, THE, THEY DON'T HAVE ROOM TO FULFILL THE CITY OF HOUSTON FIRE LANE AND LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS IS WHAT IT SAYS IN THE VARIANCE REQUEST.
GOOD ANSWERS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
SO WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO DEFER THIS FOR TWO WEEKS.
MOSTLY THE PURPOSE TO REACH OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND GIVE THEM AN UPDATE ON WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO DEFER ITEM FOUR, ROBINS, ROBIN SECOND.
WHO'S SPEAKING? MY NAME IS ALLISON, LAST NAME IS ESKIN, E-S-K-I-N-E.
UH, ARE, ARE YOU CALLING ABOUT, UH, THE STUDIO SIX HOTEL MOTEL AT, ON EL CHOCOLATE BIO? YES, I AM.
UM, MY CONCERNS ARE, UM, WHAT SAFETY PLANS ARE OUTLINED FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE AREA? WE'RE AN INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION.
[02:45:03]
UM, I WOULD, UM, WE ARE REALLY NOT IN A POSITION TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION HERE OR NOW, BUT I'M SURE MR. CRILE, IF YOU WOULD PUT YOUR NAME, UM, IN THE CHAT, MR. CRIDDLE CAN REACH OUT TO YOU AND GIVE YOU KIND OF A LAYOUT OF WHAT THE TIMELINE WOULD BE AND WHAT, UH, APPROVALS HAVE TO BE GIVEN BY THE CITY FOR THIS TO GO FORWARD.I'M SORRY ROBIN'S MADE THE MOTION.
I DIDN'T HEAR THE SECOND BALDWIN.
ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A RECOMMEND, UH, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO DEFER, AYE ROMAN FOUR.
ALL THOSE OPPOSED HEARING NONE.
THE MOTION IS APPROVED AND THE ITEM IS DEFERRED.
[V. Public Comment]

ALL THOSE OPPOSED? WE ARE ADJOURNED.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'M ALWAYS TEMPTED.
