TAKE US TO SECTION C PUBLIC HEARINGS.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE HOUSTON PLANNING COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS DEVIN CRIDDLE.

ITEM 87 IS ALL BEYOND TOWN HOMES.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN HOUSTON CITY CITY LIMITS AT THE NORTHEAST INTERSECTION OF WILLOW BEND BOULEVARD AND CRAIGHEAD DRIVE.

THE PURPOSE OF THE REPL IS TO CREATE 37 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND SIX PARKING RESERVES.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING MULTIPLE VARIANCES WITH THIS ITEM, THE FIRST VARIANCES TO ALLOW A REDUCED 15 FOOT BUILDING LINE ALONG A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.

THE SECOND VARIANCE IS TO NOT PROVIDE RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION TO WILLOW BEND DRIVE.

REVIEW BY LEGAL INDICATES THIS PLAT WILL NOT VIOLATE RESTRICTIONS ON THE FACE OF THE PLA AND THOSE FILED SEPARATELY STAFF IS REQUESTING TO DEFER THIS ITEM FOR FURTHER STUDY AND REVIEW AND TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE APPLICANT TO MAKE REVISIONS TO THE SITE PLAN.

MADAM CHAIR, THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND YOU MAY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME.

TRAFFIC IS EXTREMELY CONGESTED.

THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 87 ALBION TOWN HOMES IS OPEN.

THE FIRST SPEAKER IS JANE GREAVES.

THANK YOU ALL FOR TAKING TIME FOR US TODAY.

UM, I, MY NAME IS, I'M JUST GONNA READ THE THING.

MY NAME IS JANE GREAVES AND I AM REPRESENTING THE WESTWOOD CIVIC CLUB.

WESTWOOD IS ADJACENT TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

WE OPPOSE THE VARIANCE THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THE 10 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY DECA DEDICATION ON WILLOW BEND BECAUSE THE STREET WILL NEED TO BE WIDENING THE NEAR FUTURE TO ACCOMMODATE INCREASED TRAFFIC FLOW FROM EXISTING AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS.

WESTWOOD IS A COMMUNITY OF APPROXIMATELY 750 RESIDENTS AND A DOZEN OR SO BUSINESSES.

THERE ARE ALSO ANOTHER APPROXIMATELY A DOZEN OR SO BUSINESSES ON THE EAST SIDE OF STELLA LINK.

WILLOW BEND ITSELF HAS SEVERAL BUSINESSES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET, BASICALLY ACROSS FROM THIS PROPOSED SUBDIVISION.

WILLOWBEND BORDERS BOTH ALBION TWO AND WESTWOOD IN THE SOUTH AND INTERSECT STA LINK WESTWOOD'S EASTERN BOUNDARY AND WILLOWBEND IS ALREADY A SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC ARTERY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE CORNER OF STA LINK AND WILLOW BEND.

CITY CHOICE HOMES IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING 169 UNIT COMMUNITY.

THAT'S A, THERE'S A 20 ACRE VACANT TRACT OF LAND OVER THERE JUST NORTH OF THERE.

THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL 12 ACRE TRACT.

THE CITY OF HOUSTON WAS GOING TO BUILD APPROXIMATELY 240 UNITS ON THAT TRACK, BUT THE PROJECT FELL THROUGH AND THE LAND IS UP

[00:20:01]

FOR SALE.

WITH THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT GOING ALONG IN ALONG STILL LINCOLN WILLOW BEND, THERE WILL BE A NEW BUYER.

STELLA LINK IN LESS THAN THE ONE MILE STRETCH FROM WILLOW BEND TO THE SOUTH LOOP HAS FOUR SCHOOLS ON IT, TWO OF WHICH ARE BOTH MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS.

THESE SCHOOLS TIE, UM, TIE UP ONE OF THE TWO NORTHBOUND LANES IN THE MORNING.

THAT'S WHY WESTWOOD RESIDENTS ALREADY HAVE TO UTILIZE WILLA BEND A THROUGH STREET TO AC EXCUSE ME, TO ACCESS THE FREEWAY SYSTEM.

ONCE THE NEW SUBDIVISIONS ARE BUILT, ALL THE NEW BUSINESSES ALONG LINCOLN WESTWOOD RESIDENCES WILL DEPEND ON WILLOW BEND EVEN MORE, UM, AS A THROUGH STREET SINCE STO LINK WILL BE SEVERELY CONGESTED DURING RUSH HOUR, PARTICULARLY IN THE MORNING, BOTH ALBION ONE AND WILLOW BEND POINT.

GO AHEAD.

THAT'S YOUR TIME, BUT WRAP UP QUICKLY.

UM, WELL HAVE SET ASIDE, THERE'S TWO SUBDIVISIONS WITHIN ONE'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET AND ONE'S WITHIN 500 FEET HAVE SET ASIDE THE 10 FOOT FOR EXPANSION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.

IT IS UNFAIR FOR THE DEVELOPERS OF WILLOW BEND POINT AND EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE FUTURE RESIDENTS OF ALBION TWO, THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT SHOULD STOP NECESSARY FUTURE EXPANSION OF A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

AND THEN I HAVE THE PLATS HERE.

OKAY, THAT'S GREAT.

THIS SITE ALSO SERVES AS ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACE WITH FUTURE, EXCUSE ME.

THIS SITE ALSO SERVES AS ADDITIONAL PARKING WITH SHUTTLE BUS OPERATIONS FOR THE RODEO.

THIS GP RECEIVED THE SAME VARIANCE IN 2007 TO ALSO NOT PROVIDE ANY STREETS THROUGH THIS TRACK.

SINCE THEN, MULTIPLE RESERVES HAVE BEEN RECORDED AND ADDITIONAL LAND HAS BEEN ACQUIRED BY CENTER POINT ENERGY.

THE SITE IS BOUNDED BY MAJOR THOROUGHFARES ON ALL SIDES AND KIRBY DRIVE IS PROPOSED TO BO SEC THE SITE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACCESS.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL STREETS WILL NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION DUE TO THE USE OF THE PROPERTY.

[00:55:01]

ONE 15.

YAY .

GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS PETRA SHAW.

ITEMS 1 0 5 THROUGH ONE 15 INCLUDE SENTARA GP, SENTARA, SECTION 61 THROUGH 65, 67, 68, 74, 76, AND 78.

STAFF WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER THESE 11 ITEMS TOGETHER.

AS IT IS A GP AND 10 SECTIONS? YES PLEASE.

MM-HMM THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE HOUSTON ETJ IN BOTH HARRIS COUNTY AND WALLER COUNTY ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARY OF PITTS ROAD AND NORTH OF CLAY ROAD.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A GENERAL PLAN AND IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO EXCEED 1400 FEET LOCAL INTERSECTION SPACING REQUIREMENTS IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE GP THAT IS NORTH OF BECKENDORF ROAD AND ALSO THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE GP THAT IS BOUNDED BY STOCKTON ROAD SCHOOL ROAD TO THE SOUTH BARTLETT ROAD TO THE EAST AND BECKENDORF ROAD TO THE NORTH.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE TWO NORTH SOUTH AND AN EAST WEST STREET CONNECTION IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE GP AND ALSO TWO EAST WEST STREET CONNECTIONS IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE GP CROSSING DETENTION LAKES THAT ARE MEASURING OVER 300 FEET IN WIDTH.

THE LIKELIHOOD FOR ADDITIONAL LOCAL PUBLIC STREETS ACROSS THE WIDE DRAINAGE LAKES IS VERY LOW.

IN ADDITION, THE CURRENT GP PROPOSAL IS MEETING BOTH BROOKSHIRE, KATY DRAINAGE DISTRICT AND ALSO HARRIS COUNTY DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS.

HARRIS COUNTY ENGINEERING HAS REVIEWED THIS PROPOSAL AND THEY HAVE NO OBJECTIONS.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE, APPROVE THE GP AND THE FOLLOWING SECTION SUBJECT TO THE CPC 1 0 1 FORM AND CONDITIONS, STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY ADVANCED WRITTEN COMMENTS.

AND THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. SHAW? UM, DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP IN THE CHAT? I HAVE NO ONE SIGNED TO SPEAK ON ANY OF THESE.

UM, I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS.

ANY DISCUSSION? IS THERE A MOTION FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION ON ITEMS 1 0 5 THROUGH ONE 15? MOTION TO HEAR SECOND.

ITEM ONE 16.

ITEM ONE 16 IS VETERANS MEMORIAL BUSINESS PARK.

THE SUBJECT SIDE IS A 32.8 ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE HARRIS COUNTY EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION EAST OF VETERANS MEMORIAL DRIVE AND NORTH OF FALLBROOK DRIVE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING AN UNRESTRICTED RESERVE INTENDED FOR WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION USE, AND IS REQUESTING TWO VARIANCES.

ONE TO EXCEED INTERSECTION SPACING BY NOT PROVIDING NOR TERMINATING IN A CUL-DE-SAC.

SUBST STREETS, LAND ENTRYWAY AND SUMMERBROOK DRIVE AND TWO, TO TAKE ACCESS VIA AN ACCESS EASEMENT.

IN LIEU OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, ACCESS STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE INTERSECTION VARIANCE, BUT STAFF AND HARRIS COUNTY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ARE NOT IN SUPPORT OF THE SECOND VARIANCE.

THE SITE INTENDS TO TAKE ACCESS THROUGH RESERVE G AND FALLBROOK SECTION THREE, A D RESTRICTED SUBDIVISION WITH SINGLE FAMILY RESTRICTIONS, BUT ALSO HAS AN EXISTING EASEMENT THROUGH THE CEMETERY PROPERTY TO THE WEST.

THE SUBJECT SITE AND RESERVE ARE UNDER COMMON OWNERSHIP AND THE VARIANCE AS RESCINDED DOES NOT SUBJECT ITSELF TO THE PUBLIC HEARING AND NOTIFICATION PROCESS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED WITH THE REPL OF RESERVE.

G AND PRESENTS NO TRUE HARDSHIP AS A PLAT COULD MEET.

CHAPTER 42 REQUIREMENTS WITH THE REPL BEYOND THE INTENDED ACCESS.

THE SITE PLAN SHOWS INTENT TO CONNECT TO THE EXISTING CUL-DE-SAC AND TO ADD PARKING THAT WOULD EXCEED THE SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED ACCESS EASEMENT RESERVE GS SHOULD BE REPLANTED IN PART OR IN WHOLE AS PART OF THE PROPOSED PLA TO COMPLY WITH CHAPTER 42 FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS AND SUBMIT TO THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.

IF THE APPLICANT WERE TO INCORPORATE THE EXISTING ACCESS EASEMENT OR AND PLAT A PORTION OF RESERVE G TO PROVIDE ACCESS, THE ACCESS EASEMENT VARIANCE WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED AND STAFF WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF THE VARIANCE TO NOT EXTEND THE SUBST STREETS.

WE HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM, UH, OF THE SUPPORT FOR THE VARIANCE FROM THE FALLBROOK CIVIC CLUB SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION.

STAFF RECOMMENDS DENYING THE REQUEST OF VARIANCES AND DISAPPROVING, DISAPPROVING THE PLAT, ALLOWING THE APPLICANT TO RESUBMIT THE PLAT TO INCLUDE FRONTAGE ALONG VETERAN'S MEMORIAL WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF THE PLAT.

MADAM CHAIR, THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

QUESTIONS FOR MR. CRIDDLE? WELL, NOT EXACTLY MR. I'M SORRY.

MR. CILLO.

I'M SORRY.

JUST ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO ASK DEVIN .

UM, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CILLO? I'M SORRY.

UM, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IN THE CHAT? THE A BELIEVE APPLICANT IS RECEIVED? YES.

YES, MR. BATE.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM.

UH, MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF PLANNING COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS JEFF BTE WITH WINDROSE LAND SERVICES.

UM, SO ALTHOUGH RESERVE G IN THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY ARE UNDER COMMON OWNERSHIP NOW, UM, OUR CLIENT CURRENTLY DOES, OUR CLIENT DOES

[01:00:01]

NOT OWN EITHER PROPERTY.

SO THEY ARE, UM, UNDER CONTRACT FOR THE LARGE 38 ACRES IN THE BACK, UM, WHICH IS THE RESERVE THAT HAS NO FRONTAGE.

UM, AND WE WOULD WE'RE ASKING FOR THE ACCESS EASEMENT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TWO RESERVATIONS ABOUT PLATTING PROPERTY, WHICH THEY DON'T OWN AND MAY NOT OWN.

THE FIRST IS JUST THAT RESERVE G COULD BE DIVIDED IN THE FUTURE IN VARIOUS WAYS.

UM, FOR EXAMPLE, A PORTION MAY GO TO THE BUYER, WHICH IS MY CLIENT.

A PORTION COULD BE TRANSFERRED TO THE HOA FOR OPEN SPACE, UM, OR EVEN A PORTION OR THE WHOLE RESERVE COULD REMAIN WITH THE SELLER ALLOWING WITH THE ACCESS HE'S BEEN GOING THROUGH.

UM, AND SINCE THAT CONFIGURATION IS UNDETERMINED, THE BUYER IS UNCOMFORTABLE PLATTING THEIR PROPERTY RIGHT NOW THAT THEY MAY NOT OWN IN THE FUTURE.

AND THEN SECONDLY, PLATTING RESERVE G IS PART OF THIS RES UNRESTRICTED RESERVE COULD ALSO COMPLICATE FINANCING FOR THEM, UH, AT CLOSING AS THEY'D HAVE TO TAKE OUT LOANS ON PLATTED RESERVES THAT INCLUDE ON PLATTED RESERVES THAT DON'T NECESSARILY INCLUDE PROPERTY THAT THEY MAY OWN.

UM, AND I KNOW STAFF, WE, WE, WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE EARLIER ABOUT THIS TODAY, UM, AND THEY BROUGHT UP THE FINANCIAL ASPECT AND THE, THE, THE, THE CRITERIA FOR THE VARIANCE DO SAY IT CAN'T BE A SOLELY FINANCIAL, UH, UH, SOLELY FINANCIAL JUSTIFICATION.

SO WE FEEL THAT THE JUSTIFICATION IN THIS CASE IS THE FACT THAT THE, THE USES AND THE CONFIGURATION OF RESERVE G IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME, AND OUR CLIENT MAY ACTUALLY NOT END UP PURCHASING ANY OF IT.

UM, AND THEN LASTLY, I DO UNDERSTAND STAFF'S CONCERN ABOUT NOTIFICATION, BUT I DO WANT TO ASSURE EVERYONE THAT ON THE COMMISSION THAT OUR CLIENT DOES HAVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THE HOA.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, AND AS, AS MR. CILLO SAID, STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE VARIANCES FOR SUBST STREETS.

SO IF WE WERE TO RESUBMIT OR IF WE WERE TO HAVE THE VARIANCE APPROVED TODAY, THE PHYSICAL ACCESS TO THE SITE WOULD NOT CHANGE.

AND SO I THINK IT, IT, WE BELIEVE IT'S A REASONABLE REQUEST TO ASK FOR THE VARIANCE TO BE APPROVED TODAY AS OPPOSED TO COMING BACK THROUGH A, A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.

IN A DIFFERENT BOUNDARY.

SO, SO THE, THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT OWN RESERVE G NO.

IT'S, IT'S UNDER COMMON OWNERSHIP NOW FROM A, A HOLDING COMPANY.

AND SO THEY HAVE THE 38 ACRES IN THE BACK UNDER CONTRACT.

AND SO THEY'RE WORKING OUT THEIR PLATS RIGHT NOW AND THEIR SITE PLANS.

YEAH.

SO THEY DO NOT OWN IT.

SO HOW ARE THEY GONNA BE ABLE TO TAKE ACCESS, ACCESS THROUGH IT? THEY'VE, THEY'VE NEGOTIATED WITH THE SELLER, AT LEAST AT THIS POINT, AN ACCESS EASEMENT THAT'S 60 FEET IN WIDTH THAT WOULD GO FROM THEIR PROPERTY TO AN EXISTING, UM, EXISTING ACCESS POINT ALONG VETERANS MEMORIAL, MR. SIO MENTIONED.

BUT THAT'S THAT DIAGONAL YES.

ACCESS THAT WE SEE.

SO MR. SIO DID MENTION, IF YOU COULD GO BACK A COUPLE SLIDES.

THERE IS AN EXISTING ACCESS EASEMENT THAT'S FROM THE SIXTIES THAT WAS GRANTED TO THE PROPERTY FROM THE, UH, CEMETERY FROM THE, THE FEDERAL CEMETERY.

HOWEVER, IT, IT ISN'T AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE.

SO OUR CLIENT FEELS THAT THIS IS THE PREFERRED ACCESS POINT, SINCE IT'S AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AND IT, THERE'S ALREADY AN EXISTING, I WOULDN'T CALL IT A CURB CUT THERE, BUT THERE'S AN EXISTING USE THAT HAD BEEN HAPPENING ON THAT UNRESTRICTED RESERVE, UM, THAT WAS USING THAT ACCESS POINT.

AND WE DO WE HAVE THE ACTUAL LETTER FROM THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION APPROVING IT? WAS THAT IN OUR MR PRESENTATION? SEDILLO? OH, THERE IT IS.

AND THEY WERE, THEY WERE VERY CLEAR IN THE LETTER JUST TO SAY THAT THEY APPROVE OF, UM, THEY APPROVE ALL THE VARIANCES, INCLUDING THE ACCESS EASEMENT AS WELL AS THE SUBST STREETS, SO THEY'RE AWARE OF WHAT THE DEVELOPER'S INTENT IS FOR THE 38 ACRES.

SO THAT SORT OF NEGATES THE ARGUMENT ABOUT THE NOTICE YEAH.

PROBLEM A LITTLE BIT.

YOU FEEL OKAY? NOT REALLY.

FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS.

CAN I, LEGAL, DO YOU WANNA WEIGH IN GETTING A, A FACE THERE? YEAH.

AND YOU KNOW, I'LL START WITH AS FIRST THAT, UM, OF COURSE, FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS OR ISSUES ARE NOT THE ONLY THING FOR YOU ALL TO CONSIDER.

COUNSEL HAS DELEGATED TO THIS COMMISSION THE ABILITY TO MAKE VARIANCES PROVIDED THAT YOU FIND THAT ALL FIVE OF THOSE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN MET.

UM, SOMEONE'S BUYING A LANDLOCKED PIECE OF PROPERTY, THERE'S GONNA BE AN ACCESS ISSUE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT ACCESS HAS BEEN ADEQUATELY WORKED OUT, AND I UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T OWN THIS, BUT IN DOING A REPL, THEY COULD GET A, UM, THE OWNERS OF THAT ADDITIONAL RESERVE TO, TO SIGN THAT AS WELL, UM, TO SIGN THE, THE REPL APPLICATION TO, TO GENERATE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THE, THE, THE POINT IS, IS THIS IS PART OF THE, UM, OF THE PREVIOUSLY EXISTING SUBDIVISION COUNSEL DIDN'T DELEGATE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE A VARIANCE.

AND SO I, OKAY, I I I DON'T THINK THAT THAT LETTER HAS A LOT OF WEIGHT FROM THE HOA, IN MY OPINION.

UM, THERE ARE ISSUES.

I I CAN SEE SOME ISSUES WITH THE VETERANS AFFAIRS ACCESS EASEMENT THAT THEY CURRENTLY HOLD.

UM, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN USED, BUT THERE'S LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT COULD BE TERMINATED IF IT'S NOT USED

[01:05:01]

SO THERE MIGHT EVEN BE A QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S STILL AVAILABLE TO THEM, BECAUSE THAT WAS, THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS, UM, EARLY ON, UM, TO, TO ME, GOING BACK TO THE REPL QUESTION, THEY CAN BRING IN THE OTHER OWNERS OF THE, OF RESERVE G TO BRING THAT, BRING THAT IN PROPERLY, DO THE REPL OF, UM, YOU KNOW, OF CHANGING THE FORM OF WHAT'S ON THAT LOT.

EVERY OWNER IN THAT SUBDIVISION TOOK NOTICE WITH THAT LOT WITH A CUL-DE-SAC, NOT WITH AN ACCESS EASEMENT THROUGH IT.

AND SO THAT GIVES EVERY OWNER AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO VOICE THEIR OPINION.

THEY MAY ALL COME IN AND SAY, YAY.

UM, WE DON'T KNOW.

BUT I, I THINK THIS IS JUST A PROBLEM.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE SEEN THE ACCESS EASEMENT DOCUMENT.

I HAVE NOT.

UM, THAT HAS BEEN GRANTED ACROSS THIS LOT, SO I OKAY.

CAN'T, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR EITHER THE APPLICANT STAFF OR OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT? COMMISSIONER MAR, UH, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD YOU.

THERE'S STILL A POTENTIAL THAT THEY END UP BUYING THIS PROP OR, OR DOING SOME OTHER PURCHASE WITH THIS, UH, RESERVE G CORRECT.

OR A PORTION, EITHER THE WHOLE OR A PORTION OF IT.

IT'S, IT'S UNDETERMINED AT THIS TIME.

AND, AND I'D LIKE TO, IT, IT IS A PLATTED RESERVE THAT'S UNRESTRICTED.

IT IS ODD.

THERE IS A CUL-DE-SAC THERE, WHICH IS STRANGE, BUT IT, IT'S ACCEPTED FROM THE DEED RESTRICTIONS IN TERMS OF REQUIRING A SINGLE FAMILY LOT.

SO IT'S, IT IS SET ASIDE AS AN UNRESTRICTED RESERVE.

OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? UM, AND WE HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM.

SO COMMISSIONERS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO DENY THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND DISAPPROVE THE PLAT.

WHAT IS YOUR THINKING? MOTION FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION? WE HAVE A MOTION FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND POROUS PER ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

MADAM CHAIR, IF IT PLEASES THE COMMISSION, STAFF WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER ONE 17 WITH ROMAN NUMERAL.

UH, SURE.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

UH, THIS IS A SUBDIVISION PLAT, UH, VARIANCE FOR MISSOURI GARDENS AND AN OFF STREET PARKING VARIANCE FOR 11,851 MARTINDALE ROAD.

THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN HOUSTON'S CORPORATE LIMIT ALONG MARTINDALE, NORTH OF OREM, SOUTH OF ZELENSKY.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSES AN AFFORDABLE SINGLE FAMILY HOME COMMUNITY ALONG PUBLIC STREETS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING VARIANCES FROM CHAPTER 26 AND 42 TO ALLOW ALL OF THEIR PROPOSED PARKING TO BE PROVIDED WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY RATHER THAN ON INDIVIDUAL LOTS.

STAFF RECOMMENDS DEFERRAL TO COORDINATE WITH THE APPLICANT ON POSSIBLE REVISIONS TO THE PARKING LAYOUT.

WE'VE RECEIVED NO ADVANCE WRITTEN COMMENT ON THIS ITEM.

THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IN TOURE.

UM, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BUTLER? COMMISSIONER GARZA? YES, MADAM CHAIR.

UM, FULL DISCLOSURE, THIS PROPERTY FALLS INSIDE OFT EIGHT.

AND AGAIN, IN THE SPIRIT OF FULL DISCLOSURE, I'M THE CHAIRMAN OF THET EIGHT ZONE.

AND WHAT I WANTED TO IMPART TO YOU TODAY, AND I REALIZE THAT THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION FOR DEFERRAL BASED ON PARKING, UH, WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IS, UH, THET HAS BEEN, UM, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MULTIPLE DEVELOPERS AND TO DATE WHAT WE'VE, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SIGN CONTRACTS TO BUILD APPROXIMATELY 2,500 WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS OF WHICH ZURI GARDENS WILL BE PART OF.

AND, UM, ABOUT HALF OF THOSE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE MAYOR'S, UH, 3000 WORKFORCE UNIT PLANS THAT WILL BE IN PLACE BEFORE HE LEAVES OFFICE.

SO ONE IS WE HAVE WORKED WITH, UH, AS I SAID, MULTIPLE, UH, DEVELOPERS ON BUILDING THIS WORKFORCE HOUSING AND WHAT WAS BASICALLY FIELDS.

UM, ALSO, UH, ZURI GARDENS IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM STERLING HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE THERE IS CURRENTLY NO SIDEWALKS, DITCHES, A, B, C, AND D.

WE, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE NORTH PORTION OF THIS PROPERTY, WE'RE, UH, THE TURS IS GONNA BUY FIVE ACRES, WHICH IS GOING TO, WE ARE GOING TO TURN INTO A PARK.

IT WILL BE THE 12TH PARK IN OUR ZONE.

AND THIS IS BASICALLY IN A PARK DESERT.

THERE'S NO DEDICATED GREEN SPACE.

CAN WE GO TO THE SITE PLAN PLEASE? THERE? SO THERE IS, UM, A HORIZONTAL LINE JUST NORTH, WELL, RIGHT THERE, JUST NORTH OF THE PROPERTY.

AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, THE MONEY HAS BEEN PUT ASIDE TO BUY THE DISPLACED PROPERTY TO BUILD IT, UH, INTO A PARK.

AND, UM, I'M VERY HAPPY TO SAY THAT, UM, THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO START BEFORE WE ACTUALLY START ON THE PARK.

AND THE DEVELOPER HAS AGREED TO COMPLETE THE SIDEWALK ALL THE WAY UP TO MADDEN SO THAT, UM, PEDESTRIANS AND SCHOOLCHILDREN WILL BE ABLE TO WALK TO AND FROM WITHOUT WALKING IN THE STREET.

SO I, AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO IMPART

[01:10:01]

WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THERE, AND THIS DEVELOPER HAS BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH US, UM, TO ENSURE THAT, UM, EVERYTHING THAT WE DO HERE IS GOING TO BE BETTER FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS IS A KIND OF A PROPERTY THAT MEETS, UM, THE NEEDS OF, OR THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF LIVABLE PLACES ACTION COMMITTEE.

SO PARKING FOR THIS IS GOING TO BE SEPARATE FROM HOUSING.

UM, AND YOU CAN, AND ALSO THE FRONTS OF THE HOUSE, WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY, 'CAUSE I'M NOT AN ENGINEER.

UH, THE FRONTS OF ALL THESE HOUSES ARE GONNA BE, UM, WHAT DO WE CALL THAT? MARGARET? COMPUTER PRINTED.

SO, UM, THE HOUSES ARE GONNA VARY FROM ABOUT 800 SQUARE FEET TO ABOUT 1200 SQUARE FEET.

SO FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS RETIREMENT, UM, SMALL HOME.

SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT, UM, UH, THE DEPARTMENT COMES UP WITH FROM A PARKING PERSPECTIVE AND HOPE THAT YOU'LL GIVE IT YOUR FULLEST CONSIDERATION IN TWO WEEKS.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS? COMMISSIONER CLARK? MAYBE I'M CONFUSED.

IS IT THEY'RE ONLY PROVIDING 159 SPACES IN THE, THE REQUIRED IS 166? IS THAT THE QUESTION? YES, THERE'S, SO THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE TWO SPACES PER LOT.

UH, PER CHAPTER 42 AND 26, THEY'RE ASKING TO PROVIDE A SIMILAR AMOUNT OF SPACES ALL WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, EITHER PARALLEL, UH, ALONG THE STREETS OR, OR IN OTHER SPOTS.

AND THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS, SO THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS THAT CAME UP DURING REVIEW, BOTH FROM OUR OFFICE AS WELL AS FIRE AND PUBLIC WORKS.

MM-HMM .

UH, REGARDING SOME OF THE HEAD END PARKING.

UH, AND THE APPLICANT IS CONSIDERING CHANGING A LOT OF THAT TO PARALLEL PARKING.

MM-HMM .

SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE DEFERRAL IS TO JUST FINE TUNE THE ACTUAL PARKING LAYOUT, CORRECT? YES.

AND CAN WE GET THE RIGHT OF WAY WIDTHS NEXT TIME, WHATEVER.

IT'S HARD TO TELL HOW WIDE THAT REALLY IS.

SURE.

I BELIEVE THAT THE STREETS ARE ALL 50 FEET INTERNALLY.

COMMISSIONER BALDWIN'S, UH, QUESTION, COMMENT.

COULD BE.

THERE'S A THOROUGHFARE BEING DEDICATED ON THE PERIMETER, WHICH IS OVER A HUNDRED, BUT, AND AFTER THE PARKING, YOU'D STILL HAVE 50 FEET OR THAT PARKING IS IN THE, WELL AS IT'S SUBMITTED NOW, THERE ARE SOME PARTS WHERE IT, IT'S GOING TO KIND OF OVERLAP A RESERVE, AND THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED AS WELL.

GOTCHA.

COMMISSIONER JONES, I WANT TO CLARIFY.

SO THE, THE, THE PAVING WILL STILL BE 28 FEET, RIGHT? CORRECT.

OR 26 WITHOUT THE CURB, IF YOU WILL.

SO THAT WON'T CHANGE AND THE PARKING WOULD BE SIMPLY BE ADJACENT TO THAT? THAT'S CORRECT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG? JEFF, IS THERE PARKING ON THE NO CURB CUT.

SO ON THE WEST SIDE OF THAT WESTERN STREET, THERE'S NONE SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN? NO.

YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK THERE'S SOME DEFINITE PLANNING FLAWS IN THIS.

UM, THESE ARE FOR SALE, RIGHT? NOT FOR RENT, CORRECT.

YEAH.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT YOUR RESOLUTIONS ARE.

THERE'S NOT PARALLEL PARKING ALONG THAT STREET.

THERE'S A TON OF PARKING ACROSS THE STREET ON THE HALLWAY.

RIGHT.

SO THERE'S NONE SHOWN THEY DO SHOW SOME PARALLEL PARKING ON THE EAST WEST STREETS, BUT ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT WE'VE MADE IS THAT SOME OF THE HEAD END PARKING ON THAT WESTERN STREET BE CONVERTED TO PARALLEL, PERHAPS ON BOTH SIDES.

SO YOU'RE GONNA FIGURE THIS ALL OUT IN THE TWO WEEK INTERIM? CORRECT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, UH, OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE DEFER THE ITEM? ASSUMING THAT, OH, WE HAVE A SPEAKER.

I'M SORRY.

COME FORWARD.

I'M NOT SIGNED UP MR. BUTLER, BUT I'M LISTENING TO WHAT ALL IS HAPPENING WITH THAT.

WELL, YOU, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO SPEAK.

I'M SORRY, COULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD THOUGH? FRANK BURNS.

HI, MR. BURNS.

GO RIGHT AHEAD.

MADAM CHAIRMAN, MADAM CHAIRMAN AND, AND MEMBERS, UM, I'M, I'M HEARING ABOUT THE PARKING ALONG THAT, THAT AREA AROUND THE, UH, STERLING AND I, AND I'M NOT HEARING ANYTHING ABOUT THE CHILDREN THAT ARE WALKING THAT STREET THAT I'M HAVING TO DODGE IF THEY'RE WALKING, WHEN SCHOOL IS OUT AND THE STREETS ARE TORN UP, ONE SIDE IS DOWN AND THE OTHER SIDE AND THE MIDDLE IS UP AND THE OTHER SIDE IS TORN UP, AND NOBODY, AND I'M NOT HEARING ANYTHING ABOUT DOING SOMETHING WITH THAT, AND THE CHILDREN WALKING ALONG THERE ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING THEIR LIVES OR BEING INJURED.

AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE EVERY TIME I GO THROUGH THAT, EVERY TIME I SEE THEM, THEY ARE IN THE STREETS WALKING, TRYING TO GET TO AND FROM SCHOOL, RISKING THEIR LIVES.

AND I WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT THAT OR, OR THAT TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BY SOMEONE THAT CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT

[01:15:01]

IN THE PROCESS.

HERE.

AND COMMISSIONER GARZA HAS A RESPONSE TO YOU? YEAH, MR. BURNS, UH, THE GOOD NEWS IS, UM, TERZA IS GOING TO REDO ALL OF MADDEN ROAD.

SO THE, THE NORTHERNMOST ROAD ON TOP OF THIS PROPERTY FROM EAST TO WEST, UH, THERE'S GONNA BE SIDEWALKS TO THE BEST OF MY UNDERSTANDING, AT LEAST ON ONE SIDE, I THINK ON BOTH SIDES.

UM, AND WE ARE COMPLETING, AND THEN AS I MENTIONED EARLIER ON MARTINDALE, OKAY? OKAY.

GOING ALL THE WAY UP THE STREET, ALL THE WAY TO MADDEN, THE DEVELOPER IS PUTTING IN THE SIDEWALK PER CITY REQUIREMENTS.

SO HE IS GOING TO START, AS SOON AS HE STARTS BUILDING, HE WILL BE PUTTING IN SIDEWALKS THAT GO FROM THE SOUTHERNMOST POINT OF HIS PROPERTY, UM, ALL THE WAY UP TO MADDEN ROAD, WHICH IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM STERLING HIGH SCHOOL.

AND WHAT IS, AND, AND, AND ANOTHER CONCERN IS THE, IS THAT PORTION OF DALE, BETWEEN, BETWEEN MADDEN AND OREM? YEAH.

WHERE THOSE STUDENTS ARE WALKING THAT STREET, GOING DOWN THERE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING OVER THERE ON EITHER SIDE, BUT THE DITCHES, RIGHT? THE, THE DEVELOPMENT, AS YOU KNOW, RIGHT AT MADDEN ROAD, THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT, I THINK IT'S CALLED PINEAPPLE SQUARE.

THEY'RE GONNA BE PUTTING IN SIDEWALKS ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE STREET.

SOME ARE ALREADY THERE.

UM, AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE MARTINDALE ON THE CIP AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR THE CITY TO INVEST MONEY THERE.

THE TOURS IS LOOKING AT, AT SOME DEGREE, REDOING AT LEAST THE INTERSECTION OF MADDEN AND MARTINDALE.

I KNOW THAT ALL OF MARTINDALE NEEDS TO BE DONE, UH, BUT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH MONEY TO GO AROUND, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT ADDING THAT TO THE TURS IS CIP, SO, UH, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN SO THAT IT WILL GET DONE AS WELL.

I WHEN I COULDN'T TELL YOU, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

SIR, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND I HEARD THE WORD MONEY BEING, NOT MONEY BEING A AVAILABLE TO DO, BUT ONE CHILD'S LIFE.

WALKING ON THAT STREET TO ME IS WORTH ALL OF THE MONEY THAT YOU CAN SPEND ON THAT WHOLE AREA, WE HEAR.

PLEASE CONSIDER THE CHILDREN WALKING ON THAT STREET.

OF COURSE.

WE APPRECIATE MUCH YOU COMING DOWN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
