AND I'M TRYING TO, LET'S SEE, HOLD ON.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS LOSE MY PLACE WHEN I'M DOING SOMETHING ELSE UP HERE.

OUR MEETING WAS HELD ON AUGUST 22ND, WAS THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE WORKSHOP AND PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES.

THOSE WERE IN YOUR PACKET FOR REVIEW.

I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND.

NOW WE'RE GONNA GO TO ITEMS A AND B ON THE AGENDA, WHICH ARE CONSENT AND RELAS.

[Platting Activities a & b]

AND THEN WE HAVE SOME ABSTENTIONS AND WE HAVE SOME SPEAKERS.

SO LET ME DO THE WITHDRAWN FIRST.

SO THE FIRST ITEM WITHDRAWN UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA IS ITEM 63 AND ITEM 86.

SO THOSE ARE WITHDRAWN, WON'T BE HEARD.

AND THEN I HAVE ABSTENTION FROM COMMISSIONER.

HE ON ITEM 2, 8, 9, 10, 19, 22.

I BELIEVE THE NEXT IS THE FOLLOWING AGENDA ITEM, BUT LET ME MAKE SURE.

AND 80, DO I HAVE THAT RIGHT? OKAY, VERY GOOD.

DO I HAVE ABSTENTIONS FROM ANYONE ELSE ON THE COMMISSION? OKAY, I HAVE SPEAKERS ON ITEM 73 AND ITEM, THAT'S IT FOR SPEAKERS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, I BELIEVE.

SO I'M GONNA TRY TO LIST THESE OUT.

YOU MAY NEED TO HELP ME.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HEAR ALL OF THE CONSENT ITEMS EXCEPT FOR SAVE AND ACCEPT ITEM.

DO I HAVE TO DO THE WITHDRAWN? NO, I DON'T HAVE TO LIST THE WITHDRAWN.

RIGHT? YEAH.

SO WE'RE GOING TO, UH, VOTE ON EVERYTHING WITHIN THE CONSENT AGENDA, ITEMS A AND B, SAVE AND ACCEPT.

ITEM 73, ITEM 2, 8, 9, 10, 19, AND 22.

AND EIGHT AND EIGHT.

80, 80 EIGHTY'S NOT ON THE CONSENT.

OH, IT IS? YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.

YEP.

IT'S A REPL, RIGHT? YEAH.

SORRY.

AND 80 AND 86.

THANK YOU, BILL.

OH, THAT 180 6 WAS, WAS WITHDRAWN.

STAFF, DO WE HAVE THAT STRAIGHT? DO I NEED TO REPEAT THAT AGAIN? PLEASE SAY NO, .

SO I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ALL OTHER ITEMS. MOTION BALDWIN.

OKAY, I'M GONNA PUT YOU THROUGH THIS PAIN ONE MORE TIME.

UM, WE'RE GOING TO DO THE ABSTENTION ITEMS FOR COMMISSIONER HYS.

SO IT'S ITEM 2, 8, 9, 10, 19, AND 22.

NO, AND 80.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHY I KEEP SKIPPING THAT.

UM, AND 80.

SO I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND.

YOU'RE TRYING TO SLOW ME DOWN.

OKAY, NOW WE'LL GO ON TO THE ITEM WITH A SPEAKER, WHICH IS ITEM 73, KATY GRAND VILLAGE, SECTION ONE.

AND I'LL, UM, WAIT FOR YOU TO DO YOUR PRESENTATION ON THAT ONE.

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

MY NAME IS KEN CALHOUN, SECTIONS A AND B REPRESENTED AS ONE GROUP, WHICH INCLUDES CONSENT AND REBUT ITEMS NOT REQUIRING NOTIFICATION.

SECTIONS A AND B ARE ITEMS ONE THROUGH 1 0 2 SECTIONS A CONSENT ITEMS ARE NUMBERS ONE THROUGH 54 AND SECTIONS B REPL ITEMS ARE NUMBER 55 THROUGH 1 0 2.

NO ITEMS NEED TO BE TAKEN OUT OF ORDER AND THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS MADAM CHAIR, IF THERE ARE NO INDIVIDUALS SIGNED WITH TO SPEAK ON THESE ITEMS. THE PLANNING DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, THEIR APPROVAL OF ALL STACK RE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONSENT AND REPLAY ITEMS DENIED REQUIRING NOTIFICATION.

I JUMPED RIGHT OVER YOU AND DID THAT ALREADY.

YEAH, I WAS TRYING TO HURRY THE MEETING UP AND

[00:10:01]

SO WE DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT.

I GUESS WE'LL MOVE TO 73.

YEP.

OH, OKAY.

I'M BANDI PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.

I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE ITEM 73.

THIS PROJECT IS IN HARRIS COUNTY AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING, UM, TYPE TWO PAE DEVELOPMENT INSTEAD OF THE REGULAR P TYPE TWO PAE BEING 28 FEET.

THE RIGHT OF WAY OF THIS TYPE TWO PAE IS 40 FEET AND THE PROJECT IS BEING RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.

UM, THE APPLICANT IS HERE, UM, TO SPEAK.

ANY QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? ALL RIGHT.

I JUST SAW THAT THE SPEAKER WAS CHRIS BROWN AND HE'S SAYING QUESTIONS ONLY.

CHRIS, DID YOU WANNA MAKE A PRESENTATION OR A COMMENT? JUST A QUICK COMMENT.

UH, GOOD AFTERNOON.

CHRISTOPHER BROWN, EHRA.

UM, WE WILL WORK OUT WITH, UH, STAFF.

BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF, UH, PROBABLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO WITH HARRIS COUNTY ON THE PAE.

UH, THIS IS A, A LITTLE BIT OF A, UM, IT'S UNIQUE, RIGHT? UH, 28 FOOT OF PAVING INSIDE OF A 40 FOOT TYPE TWO PAE.

UH, THE ORDINANCE AS STAFF, UH, IS LEANING ON IS A, UH, THE, THE PAVEMENT WIDTH OF A TYPE TWO NEEDS TO BE THE SAME AS THE WIDTH OF THE PAE, WHICH, SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR 40 FOOT OF PAVEMENT.

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IN THE KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

SO WE WILL WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO SEE IF WE CAN COME TO THE AGREEMENT ON HOW EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE.

IT IS A SHUFFLING OF UTILITY EASEMENTS, CENTER POINT ACCESS AND SUCH TO MAKE ALL THIS WORK OUT.

BUT THE IDEA IS TO MINIMIZE THE LOT SIZE FOR AFFORDABILITY PURPOSES.

UH, BY USING, UH, IN ESSENCE A LARGER PAE.

UH, THE TYPE ONE IS NOT, UH, DOABLE BECAUSE OF THE, UH, DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE'RE DOING.

WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING THE DRAINAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET SO YOU DON'T HAVE THE DUPLICATION OF THOSE INFRASTRUCTURES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREETS.

LOWERS THE CONSTRUCTION COST, TAKE AWAY THE CURBS, LOWERS THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

SO, UH, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS SOME CONSIDERATION OF HOW WE CAN USE THE ORDINANCE TO THE ADVANTAGE OF, UH, SOME AFFORDABILITY.

SOUNDS LIKE A, A GREAT PROJECT, AND I HOPE YOU KNOW, BETWEEN STAFF AND THE COUNTY AND YOURSELF, UH, YOU GUYS CAN FIND SOMETHING TO MAKE THIS WORK.

SO, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. BROWN.

OKAY, SO NOW I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

WHICH MOTION? STEIN.

MOTION STEIN.

SECOND SIGLER.

ALL IN FAVOR? A DENY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIED.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW WE'LL MOVE

[c. Replats requiring Public Hearings with Notification (Dorianne Powe-Phlegm, John Cedillo, Devin Crittle, Aracely Rodriguez, and Antwanysha Berry)]

ALONG TO ITEM C, PUBLIC HEARINGS REQUIRING NOTIFICATION.

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

MY NAME IS DORIAN POPLE.

ITEM 1 0 3 IS BRISCOE FALLS, SECTION SIX, THE SIZE, LOCATED IN FORT BEND COUNTY IN HOUSTON, EXTRA TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION SOUTH WEST WESTERN SAGE, UH, LANE EAST OF FM 7 23.

THE REASON FOR REPL IS TO CREATE 83 LOTS AND EIGHT RESERVES.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO SEEKING A VARIANCE TO REPLANT A LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE RESERVE.

CREATED WITH THE BRISCO FALLS SECTION FIVE SUBDIVISION IN 2017 INTO SINGLE FAMILY LOTS.

THE APPLICANT HAS MET ALL NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS AND REVIEW BY LEGAL INDICATES THAT THIS PLAT WILL NOT VIOLATE RESTRICTIONS ON THE FACEBOOK PLAT OF THOSE FILES SEPARATELY, STAFF IS NOT IN SUPPORT OF THIS REQUEST.

THE SITE IS A RELA OF TWO 12 FOOT WIDE LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE RESERVES THAT ARE LOCATED ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES.

IT'S LOCATED AT THE EDGE OF THE BRISCO FALLS GENERAL PLAN.

THE AREA OF RELAID IS ONLY THE LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE RESERVES.

THE REMAINDER OF THE PROPERTY IS ACREAGE AND NOT A PART OF THE BRISCOE FALLS GENERAL PLAN.

THE APPLICANT DESIRE TO REPLANT THE LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE RESERVES TO CONTINUE THE DEVELOPMENT AND CREATE A THREE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

IN THE EIGHT RESERVE STAFF RECEIVED A PROTEST FOR RESIDENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THE REPL AND WOULD LIKE THE RESERVES TO REMAIN.

AND FOR THE BRISCO FALLS, UM, HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PARK SPACE, COMMON AREA, AND AMENITIES FOR THE SUBDIVISION.

THE APPLICANT HAS NOT PROVIDED A HARDSHIP THAT IS NOT SOLELY FINANCIAL.

THIS APPLICANT CAN CONTINUE THE DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT REPLANTING THE LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE RESERVES THE LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE RESERVES ALLOWS FOR AN AREA THAT GIVES GREEN SPACE IN A DISTANCE FROM THE, FROM THE HOMES STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, DENY THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND DISAPPROVE THE PLA MADAM CHAIR IS PLEASES

[00:15:01]

THE COMMISSION.

YOU MAY CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM.

AT THIS TIME, THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 1 0 3 IS CONTINUED.

I HAVE, EXCUSE ME.

UM, IT LOOKS LIKE OUR PACKET IS MISSING SOME, AT LEAST MINE IS MISSING SEVERAL PAGES.

THIS ONE I'M NOT LOOKING ELECTRONICALLY, SO, UM, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S MISSING? YEAH, I MEAN ACTUALLY IT'S, UM, WE'RE MISSING FROM 93 ALL THE WAY OVER TO 1 0 4 I IT LOOKS LIKE, OR DO Y'ALL HAVE IT? YEAH, YOU HAVE IT.

CAN I MAYBE, MAYBE I'LL DRAW THIS ONE HERE.

I'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO, TO PULL IT UP.

QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? UH, COMMISSIONER JONES.

SO I CONTINUED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UM, I HAVE A COUPLE OF SPEAKERS.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS MICHA HODGES.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS MICHA HODGES WITH LIQUIDITY ENGINEERING.

WE'RE THE APPLICANT, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT.

WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLAT AS SUBMITTED DURING JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND.

UM, PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THIS PROPOSED PLAT, THE DEVELOPER KB HOLMES DID ENGAGE IN COORDINATION EFFORTS WITH THE HOA FOR THIS, UM, PROPOSED EXTENSION OF BRISCOE FALLS SIX, SECTION SIX.

THAT COORDINATION EFFORTS BEGAN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, 2023, AND IT HAS RESULTED IN OVER 69% OF THE HOMEOWNERS IN ALL OF BRISCOE FALLS SECTIONS ONE THROUGH FIVE, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 274 RESIDENTS, 69 OF PERCENT OF WHICH VOTED TO INCLUDE OR ANNEX THE AREA FOR PROPOSED SECTION SIX INTO THE HOA, THE ONE RESIDENT IN OPPOSITION.

UM, MR. OMA JOA, HIS MAIN OPPOSITION TO THE PLAT WAS THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH OPEN SPACE OR COMMUNITY PARK AREA FOR THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION.

DURING THE DEFERRAL LAST CYCLE, WE MET WITH WHO HAD A MEETING WITH MR. OMA JAWA.

ALSO PRESENT WAS THE HOA PRESIDENT MR. RICK RIVERS, AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM KB HOMES WHO'S ALSO PRESENT HERE TODAY TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.

WHILE YOU'RE PULLING THAT UP, LET ME ASK YOU, MS. HODGES, SO THE DOCUMENT CAMERA, THE VOTES THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, IS THAT NORTH OF THE ORANGE LINES THAT WERE ON THERE? SO NORTH OF THE SECTION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

SO DURING THAT MEETING, UM, WITH ALL THOSE, UH, PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, WE IDENTIFIED THAT THE, THERE'S A LARGE EXISTING POND OWNED BY THE MUD IN THE CENTRAL REGION OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD.

THAT CAN BE AMENITIZED, THE HOA CAN APPROACH THE MUD.

AND WE'VE ALSO HAD SOME PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE MUD IN THAT THEY DO, UH, THESE SORT OF PROJECTS WHERE THEY HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO, UH, INSTALL JOGGING TRAILS OR, UH, IMPROVE AMENITIES WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

SO THAT IS A POTENTIAL, UM, IMPROVEMENT THAT CAN HAPPEN.

ALSO, WE'LL BE IN DISCUSSION WITH THE DEVELOPER AND ALSO THE MUD TO POSSIBLY AMENITIZE THE PROPOSED POND.

THAT WILL BE IN SECTION SIX, WHICH IS THE LARGE, I DUNNO IF YOU WANNA TURN BACK INTO THE PLAT, THE LARGE, UH, RESERVE ALONG THE EAST, UH, RESERVE D STAFF MENTIONED THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CAN GO ON WITHOUT THE RE PLAT AREA, AND THAT IS TRUE.

BUT THEN THAT RESULTS INTO 12 FOOT WIDE STRIP BETWEEN THE OLD SECTION FIVE AND THE PROPOSED NEWS SECTION, SECTION SIX, WHICH BASICALLY RESULTS IN A NO MAN'S LAND THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A GATED, UH, COMMUNITY.

SO WITH VERY LITTLE VISIBILITY FROM THE PUBLIC STREET, SO POTENTIALLY SOMEONE CAN BE BEHIND THERE AND HAVE ACCESS TO PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS WITHOUT SOMEONE FROM THE PUBLIC STREET SEEING.

SO THAT IS WHY THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING TO REPL THAT PORTION SO THAT THERE'LL BE LOTS BACKING UP TO LOTS.

THE LOTS PROPOSED IN SECTION SIX ARE TYPICAL OF THE LOTS, UH, IN SECTIONS ONE THROUGH FIVE, SO IT'S NOT DISPROPORTIONAL TO THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT.

SO FOR THOSE REASONS, WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE COMMISSION GRANT THE REQUEST A VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLAT AS PROPOSED.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

UM, COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, PLEASE NOTE THAT COMMISSIONER TAHIR HAS JOINED US.

ANY

[00:20:01]

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

UH, FIRST LET ME ASK THE, THE 12 FOOT LAND RESERVE, WHAT IS THE DEDICATED RECORDED USE OF THAT RESERVE LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE? OKAY.

WITH THAT HAS THE DEVELOPER LANDSCAPE THAT RESERVE FOR, FOR THAT PURPOSE CURRENT.

CURRENTLY IT'S JUST A GRASSED AREA.

SO THEY HAVE NOT LANDSCAPED IT.

UH, DO THEY INTEND TO OR DID THEY INTEND TO LANDSCAPE IT? UM, NO, NOT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.

IT'S, IT'S OWNED BY THE HOA.

SO THE HOA OWNS THAT STRIP AND THE HOA, UH, AS PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS, WE WAS REQUIRED TO EXECUTE OUR AFFIDAVITS SAYING THAT THEY OWN THAT AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS PART OF THE REPL.

I, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT MY QUESTION TO YOU IS IT WAS DEDICATED, CONVEYED TO THE HOA, THE HOA UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WERE REQUIRED TO LANDSCAPE IT, OR IS THAT THE DEVELOPER'S RESPONSIBILITY? UH, I DUNNO THE ANSWER TO THAT.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE DEVELOPER WHOSE HAIR HAS THAT ANSWER.

NOT TO INTERRUPT YOU, COMMISSIONER JEN, BUT I THINK THEIR DOCUMENTS WOULD SAY IF IT WAS REQUIRED, IT'S A LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE, SO IT COULD BE ONE OR THE OTHER.

OPEN SPACE IS JUST OPEN GRASS.

COULD BE JUST THAT.

I UNDERSTAND.

IT'S THE QUESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS THE INTENT RIGHT.

WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THE HOA, THE RELATIONSHIP.

NO, I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

I JUST DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T WANT EVERYBODY TO THINK IT HAD TO BE LANDSCAPED.

IT COULD BE ONE OR THE OTHER.

UM, THEN I WANTED TO ASK, IS THE BACKYARD OF THOSE HOMES THAT BACKS UP TO THAT RESERVE FENCED? I THINK THEY ARE, YES.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS.

ANY QUESTIONS? OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE I CALL THE NEXT SPEAKER? OKAY, THANK YOU MS. HODGES.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS HARRIS PRCA.

YOU'RE THE DEVELOPERS? YES, MA'AM.

MS. PARK.

UM, I WANTED TO SPEAK ON THE VARIANCE.

UM, A LOT OF MCCULLOUGH TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

I'M GONNA GO OVER AGAIN, BUT, UH, WE'RE ESSENTIALLY TRYING IN AN ELEVATOR SPEECH.

WE ARE TRYING, AND WE'VE MET WITH THE HA BOARD.

WE STARTED MEETING WITH THEM DECEMBER.

WE HAD ORIGINALLY MET WITH THEM BECAUSE WE WANTED TO INCORPORATE OUR SECTION SIX WITH SECTION FIVE AND THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY AND, AND MEETING WITH THE HA BOARD.

WE, YOU KNOW, KNOCKED OUT A, A FEW OF THEIR MAIN ISSUES.

THEY WANTED TO, IF THEY, IF THEY WERE GONNA ANNEX OUR PROPERTY IN, THEY WANTED TO SAY, HEY, ARE WE GONNA BE ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR, WHAT YOUR PRODUCT LOOKS LIKE, YOUR LOT SIZE, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

THEY SAID, YES.

THEY ALSO WERE CONCERNED WITH THE BURDEN FOR THE HOA RESIDENCE CURRENT.

THEY SAID, HEY, ARE YOU GONNA PUT ANY, ARE YOU GONNA AMENITIZE THIS POND? ARE YOU, WE, THEIR FOCUS WAS NOT INCREASING THEIR HOA ASSESSMENTS AND THEY WERE NOT, THEY WANTED TO HAVE, UH, OPEN SPACE AND, UH, PARKS, BUT THEY REALLY WERE MORE FOCUSED ON JUST REDUCING THEIR MAINTENANCE COSTS.

AND THEY THOUGHT, AND WE KIND OF CONVINCED THEM SAYING, HEY, WE'RE GONNA ADD 83 RESIDENTS.

WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO ADD, UM, ADDITIONAL MONEY INTO YOUR HOA RESERVES FOR, BECAUSE THE HOA OWNED THAT 12 FOOT LANDSCAPE RESERVE FOR YOU GUYS SIGNING OFF IN THAT AFFIDAVIT TO LET US, UM, REPL THIS.

WE'RE GONNA DO TWO THINGS.

WE'RE GONNA, UH, AGREE.

WE'RE NOT GONNA INCREASE YOUR HOA THE, THE POND MAINTENANCE.

IT'S GONNA BE VIRTUALLY, IT'S GONNA BE HOA OWNED AND THEN IT'S GONNA BE TRANSFERRED TO THE MUD.

BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO INCREASE YOUR HOA, WE'RE GONNA CONTRIBUTE MONEY FOR THE MONUMENTATION.

WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY INCREASE THE, THE MONUMENTATION, UH, VISIBILITY, UH, LANDSCAPING, ET CETERA.

AND WE WERE ALSO GONNA FUND, WE HAVE AGREED TO FUND THEIR HOA, UH, A FIXED DOLLAR AMOUNT.

WE HAD MET WITH THE BOARD, WE HAD HAD, UM, MULTIPLE MEETINGS.

GO AHEAD, CONTINUE INTERRUPT.

AND WALKED IT.

WALKED REALLY WALKED IT THROUGH, HAD A KIND OF A TOWN HALL WITH, WITH THE RESIDENTS WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO ASK US QUESTIONS.

WE RESPONDED, UH, GOT, LIKE MACCALL SAID 68%.

REALLY, THE BIG THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS OUR OVERALL DEVELOPMENT.

ELIMINATING THIS MAKES THE DEVELOPMENT COHESIVE.

IF WE DON'T ELIMINATE THE, IF WE KEEP THE 12 FOOT RESERVE, WHICH THERE'S GONNA BE 12 FEET OF SPACE, IT'S GONNA, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GONNA LEAD TO ILLICIT LEGAL ACTIVITIES, BUT IT'S GONNA BE A NO MAN'S LAND MAINTAINED BY THE HOA STILL.

UM, AND WE'RE GOING TO PROCEED WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT AS IS.

WE'RE GONNA, THE LOTS WILL BE EIGHT FEET SHORTER, OR IT'LL GO FROM ONE 20 INSTEAD OF ONE 20.

THEY'RE GONNA BE 1 0 8.

OUR HOME PRODUCT IS STILL GONNA WORK.

WE'RE GONNA PROCEED AS IS.

WE'RE JUST NOT GONNA, THE HOME VALUE WILL BE ABOUT THE SAME.

IT'S JUST NOT GONNA BE AS ATTRACTIVE, AND IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARE FOR

[00:25:01]

THE HOA.

SO, SO I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

SO IN THESE MEETINGS, AND YOU SAY YOU GOT 68% VOTE FROM THE EXISTING 68 AND SOME CHANGE.

UM, FROM THE EXISTING HOA RESIDENTS, MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION, THAT WAS TO GET, UH, THERE WAS A QUALIFIER IN ORDER TO GET ANNEXED INTO THE HOA AS WELL AS TO, TO BE SUBJECT TO THEIR ARCS AND BUILDER GUIDELINES, WE HAD TO GET, UH, TWO THIRDS.

THAT WAS GONNA BE MY NEXT QUESTION.

THAT'S WHY WE NEEDED TO GET, OKAY.

SO WE NEEDED 66 POINTS.

THEY ANNEXED YOUR PROPERTY INTO THEIR EXISTING HOA INTO THEIR EXISTING A RC BUILDER GUIDELINES INTO PAYING THEIR ASSESSMENTS.

PLUS THE DEVELOPER PUTTING MONEY INTO A KITTY.

FOR THEIR IMPROVEMENTS.

AND YOU'RE ENHANCING THE MONUMENT AND YOU'RE DOING AWAY WITH A 12 FOOT STRIP BETWEEN WOODEN FENCES.

AND YEAH, WE'RE PAYING FOR THEIR FENCE AND, YOU KNOW.

THAT'S THE QUESTIONS I HAD COMMISSIONERS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE OTHER THING I WAS GONNA SAY WAS JUST THIS INDIVIDUAL, THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL, HE WAS OVERLY CONCERNED.

HE'D ASK QUESTIONS LIKE, HEY, ARE WE GONNA BE ABLE, ARE YOU GUYS GONNA BE ABLE TO HAVE AN ENTRANCE OFF OF 7 23? AND, YOU KNOW, IN OUR, UH, TIA, WE DIDN'T NEED TO PROVIDE THAT, THAT THERE WAS, IT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY.

HE WASN'T EXCITED ABOUT HAVING 83 RESIDENTS DRIVE PAST HIS DRIVEWAY EVERY DAY.

AND HE'S, YOU KNOW, CONCERNED WITH THE 7 23, UH, TRAFFIC ACROSS FROM THE FUTURE.

UH, FORT BEND, ISD SCHOOL COMPLEX.

OKAY, GREAT.

UH, I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER JONES, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YEAH, MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UH, TWO QUESTIONS.

ONE, ARE YOU SOLD OUT SECTIONS ONE THROUGH FIVE? YES.

WE SOLD OUT, UH, TWO YEARS AGO.

TWO, TWO YEARS AGO, MAYBE TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO.

SO TO FOLLOW THAT UP THEN, THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPERTY OWNED OR THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT HAVE DECLARANT CONTROL WITH THE HOA? THAT'S CORRECT.

THANKS.

DO I HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEM FORGOTTEN? WE WENT, YEAH.

1 0 3.

WE WENT SO FAR INTO DISCUSSION.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

SEEING NONE.

UH, I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND MR. UH, COMMISSIONER BALL, WHEN YOU SAID YOU MIGHT HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF? I, I JUST WAS, I MEAN, YOU'RE RECOMMENDING DENIAL.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAVE ENOUGH SUPPORT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD PROJECT TO ME.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF YOU COULD RESTATE WHY YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE DENIED.

WE'VE MEMORIZED EVERYTHING.

WELL, UM, THE CONCERN THAT WE HAD WAS IT, IT CAME FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO LIVES DIRECTLY IN, IN, IN THE HOUSES THAT BACK UP TO THIS LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE RESERVE.

AND HE REPRESENT RESIDENTS THAT ALSO LIVE IN THOSE HOUSES.

AND THE PERCENTAGE THAT THEY GAVE OF THE PERSONS THAT AGREED TO THE ANNEXATION DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THIS PROJECT.

IT, IT JUST KIND OF MEAN THAT THEY ENACTING THIS PROPERTY.

SO I, I THINK THAT WAS IT.

IT WASN'T, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REALLY WAS CLEAR TO THE PERSONS WHO LIVED DIRECTLY AFFECTED IN SECTION IN SECTION FIVE, UM, ABOUT THE SECTION SIX.

SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE RECOMMENDING DENIAL.

AND WE FELT THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE THE, THE SUBDIVISION, UM, WITHOUT INCLUDING THOSE LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE RESERVES.

SO LET'S ASK LEGAL QUESTION.

YOU GUYS LOOKED AT THE CCNRS.

AND SO WITH A 68% VOTE TO ANNEX THIS PROPERTY INTO THE HOA, DOES THAT GIVE THEM THE LEGAL RIGHT TO ANNEX IN? DID Y'ALL LOOK AT 'EM? I KNOW YOU LOVE IT WHEN I PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

IT'S, IT PROBABLY SAYS TWO THIRDS.

I KNOW YOU HAVE, I HAVE FAITH THAT YOU HAVE.

UM, TYPICALLY THOSE CC NR SAY SOMETHING LIKE TWO THIRDS OF THE MEMBERSHIP RIGHT.

PASSED A VOTE AND RIGHT.

DID WE VERIFY ANY OF THAT? SO I CAN SAY I HAVE NOT.

UM, LET ME DOUBLE CHECK THOUGH.

I THINK THERE WAS A LETTER FROM THE HOA YES.

IN THE YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M RECALLING TOO.

SO WHILE Y'ALL ARE LOOKING, I KNOW COMMISSIONER STEIN HAD A QUESTION, AND THEN COMMISSIONER COLVARD, AND THEN I'LL GET TO YOU.

COMMISSIONER MAR, COMMISSIONER STEIN, I, I'M A LITTLE PUZZLED ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATION TO DENY BECAUSE I MEAN, THEY'RE, THEY'RE ANNEXED, THEY'RE GONNA BUILD THOSE HOUSES.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE TO HAVE A 12 FOOT STRIP OF GRASS THAT HAS TO BE MOWED IS, IS NOT A GOOD THING.

I MEAN, I THINK, THINK IF AS A NEIGHBOR, I'D RATHER HAVE A NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE FENCE.

UM, I MEAN, THAT'S ME.

I, I JUST, I, I'M SORT OF PUZZLED BY IT.

I, IT SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT THEY'VE HANDLED THIS PRETTY WELL AND THEY'RE ANNEXED AND THEY'RE GONNA BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

SO THAT'S JUST ME,

[00:30:01]

COMMISSIONER COLVARD.

UM, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS, IF I MAY RESTATE THEM, ARE REALLY AROUND TRAFFIC VOLUME, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE DIRECTLY ALONG THAT PATH SINCE THERE WOULDN'T BE ANOTHER WAY IN.

UM, AND THEN I HEARD THAT THERE WAS, DID I HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT A SCHOOL FORT BEND SCHOOL BEING BUILT? I BELIEVE I HEARD SCHOOL SITE ACROSS THE STREET.

IT'S ON 7 23.

I KNOW THERE'S A SCHOOL SITE EITHER ACROSS THE STREET OR CLOSE BY.

SO I GUESS THAT KIND OF, UM, MAKES, IT MAKES MY QUESTION EVEN MORE SALIENT.

UM, WHAT TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES OR WHAT, WHAT, WHAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED TO TRY TO ADDRESS OR ASSUAGE THE CONCERNS OF THOSE RESIDENTS THAT ARE DIRECTLY ALONG THAT PATH.

AND FOR MAYBE ANYBODY THAT'S, YOU KNOW, KIDS GOING TO SCHOOL.

WELL, THIS, UH, APPLIED IS LOCATED IN FORT BEND COUNTY.

UM, SO I WOULD, I WOULD DEFER TO THEM.

UM, AND THE APPLICANT, MAYBE THE APPLICANT MAY HAVE SOME INFORMATION CONCERNING THAT.

IS IT, IS IT POSSIBLE TO ASK THAT QUESTION OF THE APPLICANT THEN? SURE.

COME ON UP, MR. HARRIS .

LOOK AT IT.

UH, WE HAD PERFORMED A TIA TO, UH, TVA AND, UH, THEY HAD SAID THAT WE WERE FINED GOING THROUGH, UH, THE EXISTING COMMUNITY NOT CONNECTING TO 7 23.

SO IT DID NOT REQUIRE A CONNECTION TO 7 23.

THE EXISTING INTERNAL COLLECTOR ROADS WERE ADEQUATE.

DID I, DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? WELL, I GUESS I'M WONDERING ARE, IS THERE STILL GOING TO BE A, A MAJOR INCREASE IN TRAFFIC TO THOSE RESIDENTS THAT ARE ALONG THAT PATH? WHERE THAT WHERE THE, THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE EXPRESSING THIS CONCERN, I MEAN, WHAT, WHAT HAVE YOU PROPOSED TO TRY TO MITIGATE THEIR FEARS? THERE'S GONNA BE, THERE'S GONNA BE A, THERE'S GONNA BE A FUTURE STUB OUT TO THE, TO THE SOUTH.

THAT COMMUNITY TO THAT LANDOWNER TO THE SOUTH IS GONNA EVENTUALLY SELL.

AND THEN THERE'S GONNA BE A CONNECTION BACK TO 7 23 THERE.

UH, TEXDOT HAS ALSO SAID THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IN A, A STREETLIGHT ALREADY WITH A LEFT TURN LANE AND A, A LEFT TURN LANE AND A DESAL LANE INTO THE, UH, INTO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

IT'S A, I THINK IT'S A SCHOOL DISTRICT COMPLEX.

IT'S A MIDDLE SCHOOL AND A HIGH SCHOOL.

SO MAYBE NOT IN ELEMENTARY, BUT ALSO ON THE LAND PLAN THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE HAD THIS WORKSHOP WITH THE 300 RESIDENTS.

THE LAND PLAN DID NOT CHANGE.

WE, THIS HAS BEEN THE DIRECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING IN SAYING, HEY, WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU THIS FUNDS.

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

EXACTLY.

WE'RE OPEN TO YOUR INPUT.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE, WHERE WE LANDED, THEY'VE SEEN THE LAND PLAN.

IT'S NOT CHANGED.

WE'VE BEEN VERY, UH, UPFRONT WITH, UM, WITH THE HA BOARD AND THE RESIDENTS.

SO MAINLY 'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S OUR COMMUNITY.

WE WE'RE TRYING TO PUT OUR FOOT FORWARD FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR BRAND.

SO, ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY.

COMMISSIONER MORRIS, I JUST WANNA GET BACK TO STAFF'S CONCERN TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND IT.

ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT THE EXISTING RESIDENTS DIDN'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE NEIGHBORS BACKING THEM ADJACENT? YES.

UM, AND THAT FAIR STATEMENT, BUT I GUESS WHY WOULDN'T WE JUST MAYBE AT THE WORST, DEFER , MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT SOME FEEDBACK ON THAT VERSUS DENY IT IF THAT WAS TRULY THE, YOU KNOW, THE CONCERN.

UM, 'CAUSE I GUESS I'M, I'M IN ALIGNMENT WITH SOME OTHER COMMISSIONERS.

I, I, I CAN'T SEE A 12 FOOT PIECE OF LAND THAT NOBODY'S REALLY GONNA MAINTAIN AND HAVE ACCESS TO BEING, UM, TO ANYBODY'S ADVANTAGE.

UM, BUT IF YOU'RE, IF IT, THE CONCERN IS JUST MAKING SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE PLAN IS, UM, THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE CONCERN.

THAT'S ONE OF THE MAJOR CONCERNS.

AND WE, WE RECEIVED PROTESTS THAT, UM, THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH COMMON AREAS AND PARK AREA AND, UM, THAT'S ALREADY EXISTED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND ALSO THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS WE SPOKE WITH, WE, WE, WE, WE MENTIONED TO THE APPLICANT ABOUT REQUESTING A DEFERRAL, BUT THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD.

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS TOO, BUT COMMISSIONER SIEGLER, UM, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.

YOUR BACK UP, YOU OR MIS ONE.

I THINK EITHER ONE OF YOU COULD ANSWER IT.

WHEN YOU PRESENTED TO THE, UM, TO THE HOA BOARD, DID, WAS THIS PLOT SHOWN WHERE THE LOTS WERE BACKING TO EACH OTHER? YES.

IT WAS OUR PROBLEM.

WE SHOULD HAVE PUT IT IN THE, THAT THE DECLARATION OR THE ANNEXATION, LIKE THIS IS REQUIRED THAT YOU DO THIS 12 FOOT, BUT THE VISUAL WAS THERE 100% EVERYONE KNEW.

COMMISSIONER VICTOR? I WAS JUST GONNA ASK, UM, IT'S ONLY, AT LEAST IN THE PACKAGE THAT I HAVE, IT'S ONLY ONE COMMENT FROM ONE INDIVIDUAL THAT IS AGAINST THIS.

[00:35:02]

NOT THE ENTIRE, ALL THE HOUSES BEHIND THAT BUFFER.

AS ONE INDIVIDUAL AND THAT, THAT'S IN THE PACKET.

BUT WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM, HE SAID THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER RESIDENTS ALONG THAT LIVE ALONG THAT, THAT STRIP, AND HE WAS GONNA PROVIDE ME WITH, WITH, UH, THE INFORMATION.

HE SAID THAT HE WAS, HE HAD POSTED THE INFORMATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT, AND THEY WERE GONNA, UM, RE UH, GIVE HIM INFORMATION SAYING THAT THEY WERE IN PROTEST OF THE REPL.

UM, HE AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT, BUT THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

SO THAT'S ALSO A CONCERN.

I SAID IT.

COMMISSIONER SIGLER.

HEY, HANG ON ONE SECOND.

COMMISSIONER STEIN.

UM, MS. HODGES, I JUST WANNA, UM, SORRY MS. HODGES.

SO IN, IN YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT POSSIBLY WHAT YOU WOULD DO TO, UM, AMENITIZE THE, THE NORTHERN SUBDIVISION, UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN SHARED WITH THE HOME? I MEAN, DO PEOPLE KNOW THAT THAT'S KIND OF A, THAT'S A, A NEAT NEW PIECE OF INFORMATION, MAYBE? NO, IT HASN'T BEEN SHARED.

UM, BECAUSE THERE'LL BE SOME COORDINATION WITH THE MUD.

UH, THE MUD OWNS THAT LARGE DETENTION AREA IN THE MIDDLE.

SO, UM, WE'LL, WE'LL NEED TO COORDINATE, UH, THE HOA, THE DEVELOPER.

WE'LL NEED TO COORDINATE WITH THE MUD FIRST BEFORE WE COULD, I GUESS OFFICIALLY LET, BUT IT IS A POSSIBILITY, UH, THAT ONE, OPPOSING HOMEOWNER, UH, THAT WAS HIS MAIN CONCERN WHEN WE MET WITH HIM.

HE FELT THAT THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT OF PASCO FALLS DIDN'T HAVE, UH, LARGE ENOUGH COMMUNITY SPACE.

THERE WERE NO JOGGING TRAILS.

UM, BUT WE, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE MUD MUDS HAVE THE ABILITY AND THE FUNDING TO, UM, IMPROVE AMENITIES WITHIN, WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND, AND WHILE IT'S NOT AT ALL RELATED TO THIS VARIANCE, I DON'T MEAN TO SUGGEST THAT IT, IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS COME UP A POSSIBLE AGREEMENT.

AND I THINK THAT IT HAS DOES A LOT TO, UM, MAKE THE LIVES BETTER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE NORTHERN SUBDIVISION.

WELL, JUST FOR EDUCATION, FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE MUDS WORK, UM, SO THE MUD IS GONNA CREATE, IT'S GONNA, THERE'S GONNA BE VALUE CREATED WITH THESE NEW ADDITIONAL 83 HOMES, WHICH MEANS THEY WILL HAVE MORE TAX VALUE.

UM, AND SO THE POSSIBILITY, THIS HAPPENS A LOT IN MUD DISTRICTS WHERE THEY BECOME MORE MATURE, THEY'RE ABLE TO DO TRAIL SYSTEMS, THEY'RE ABLE TO PUT BENCHES IN AND TRASH CANS AND DOG PARKS AND OTHER AMENITIES.

SO IT'S NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY, UH, FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG, THIS MAY HAVE BEEN ANSWERED ALREADY, BUT IF THE 12 FEET REMAINS, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN INSURER AND EVERYTHING ELSE? THAT TRACK OF LAND, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

AND THEY'VE ACCEPTED THE OBLIGATION TO DO THAT? NO, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE THE ONES WHO TRYING TO SELL IT.

THEY DON'T, THEY OWN IT AND THEY'RE TRYING TO SELL IT.

GOT, YEAH.

THEY DON'T WANT, THEY DON'T WANT IT.

THEY DON'T WANNA SPEND ANY MONEY ON IT.

YEAH, NO.

THEY OWN IT.

SO DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION? DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER, ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? SPEAK? YES.

COMMISSIONER KMAR.

I, I JUST, UM, WANTED TO HEAR FROM LEGAL ABOUT THOSE QUESTIONS.

AND, AND IS THIS A SHALL APPROVE WITH THE VARIANCE ATTACHED? I'M CAN, I GUESS I'M STILL CONFUSED ABOUT THE DENIAL, UM, REQUEST.

NO, NO.

IT'S A VARIANCE REQUEST.

YEAH, IT'S A VARIANCE WHOLE THING FOR QUITE TWO DASH 1 93.

IT'S A UNIQUE PORTION OF THE ORDINANCE THAT, UM, THAT TALKS ABOUT THAT YOU CAN, UH, IF IT'S FACE OF PLAT RESTRICTIONS AND IT WAS, YOU COULD ONLY PLT CERTAIN, CERTAIN USES INTO OTHER USES WHEN IT'S A PARTIAL RE PLAT OF LOTS THAT HAD SINGLE FAMILY RESTRICTIONS ON THE FACE OF THE PLAT OR RESIDENTIAL RESTRICTIONS ON THE FACE OF THE PLAT.

SO THIS ONE'S KIND OF UNIQUE BECAUSE TYPICALLY WE WOULD HAVE LIKE THE WHOLE STRING OR 50% OF THE STRING OF HOMEOWNERS THAT BACK UP WOULD BE IN HERE PROTESTING.

AND THAT ALWAYS GIVES US PAUSE BECAUSE THAT SAYS THAT THE NEIGHBORS DON'T WANT IT.

BUT IN THIS INSTANCE, THAT'S NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING.

UM, THEY WENT AND WENT THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS AND GOT WITH THE HOA AND HAVE ALL THESE AGREEMENTS AND THEY ANNEXED IN AND THEY'RE GONNA BUY THEIR PROPERTY AND SO ON SO FORTH.

SO, UM, THAT'S WHY MS. PO FLAM IS KIND OF, THEY'RE GOING, WELL, THIS IS DIFFERENT.

AND THAT'S WHY 'CAUSE WE JUST HAD THE ONE PROTEST.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? LEGAL, DID YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? I'LL SAY I DON'T THINK WE WERE SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO LOOK AT THIS QUESTION.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DEED RESTRICTION REVIEW, WE LOOK AT WHAT'S

[00:40:01]

PROPOSED.

IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF WAS IT ADDED OR SO FORTH.

UM, DO YOU WANNA TALK TO WHAT WE, THE LANGUAGE WE FOUND IN THIS? SO LOOKING IN THE RESTRICTIONS, ADDITION OF LAND, IT JUST SAYS DECLARANT MAY AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME, ADD ADDITIONAL LANDS TO THE PROPERTY UPON A FILING OF A NOTICE OF ADDITIONAL LAND.

SUCH LAND WILL BE CONSIDERED PART OF THE PROPERTY.

AND IT GOES ON, IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE HOA OR THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION HAVING A VOTE IN ANNEXING OR ADDING LAND.

SO THEY COULD HAVE, THEY COULD HAVE GONE IN, ANNEXED THE PROPERTY IN LEFT, THE 12 FOOT STRIP, LEFT A BARREN, UNPROTECTED AREA BETWEEN THE HOME SITES AND WALKED AWAY AND NOT GIVEN ANY EXTRA MONEY, NOT WORKING WITH THE MUD, NOT INCREASING THE MONUMENTATION DOING ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY SAY THEY'RE GONNA DO.

IS THAT A CORRECT STATEMENT? OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES.

COMMISSIONER JONES? UH, NO, IT'S REALLY, IF, IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS LEFT ON THE TABLE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.

PLEASE DO.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLAQUE.

MOTION JONES.

SECOND SEGLER.

ALL IN FAVOR FOR COMMISSIONER JONES? AYE.

AYE.

THANK YOU, MS. POPLE.

THOSE ARE NEVER EASY, BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, .

YOU'RE WELCOME.

ITEM 1 0 4.

ITEM 1 0 4 IS CAR VILLA.

THE SITE LOCATED IN THE CITY NORTH ALONG CAR STREET, NORTH OF WEST TIDWELL ROAD.

THE PURPOSE OF THE RE PLAT IS TO CREATE ONE RESIDENTIAL LOT AND REVISE THE FRONT BUILDING LINE FROM 25 FEET TO 20 FEET.

THERE NO VARIANCE REQUESTED WITH THIS ITEM.

AND THE APPLICANT HAS MET ALL NO NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.

REVIEW BY LEGAL INDICATES THAT THIS PLAT WILL VIOLATE, VIOLATE RESTRICTIONS FILED SEPARATELY.

UM, THE, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED A, A DEFERRAL AT THE LAST PLANNING COMMISSION TO MEET WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

UM, AND SHE HAS PREPARED, SHE MET WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

SHE HAS A DOCUMENT THAT SHE, UM, THAT SHE PREPARED, AND SHE'S GONNA PRESENT IT TO YOU ALL.

BUT A STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO, UM, IS TO DISAPPROVE THE PLAT BECAUSE THE PLA STILL VIOLATES DEED RESTRICTIONS.

UM, MADAME TERRY PLEASES THE COMMISSION.

YOU MAY CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME.

AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY, UM, ANY ADVANCED COMMENTS FOR THIS ITEM.

AND, UM, THIS, UM, ITEM HAS MET ALL NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MS. OWENS.

OKAY, SO ITEM 1 0 4, UH, MS. JOYCE OWENS IS OUR SPEAKER.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM CHAIR COMMISSIONERS.

I REPRESENT THE APPLICANT.

I CAN SAY WE'VE MADE SOME PROGRESS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

WE'RE NOT TO HOME PLATE YET, BUT THE, I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE, UH, CIVIC CLUB, THE CANDLELIGHT OAK SECTION THREE, THEIR CIVIC CLUB ASSOCIATION.

SO THEY, WHEN THEY WROTE THE DEEP RESTRICTIONS, THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT THEY WERE, UM, COMPLICATING MATTERS TO SAY THE LEAST.

SO I DO HAVE A DOCUMENT HERE, AND I THINK, I DON'T KNOW IF LEGAL HAVE SEEN THIS YET, BUT IT WAS THE H THEY PROVIDED THIS, UM, AND IT'S JUST A STATEMENT, KIND OF A CLARIFICATION OF DEEP RESTRICTIONS.

AND IT CLARIFIES THAT THEY REALLY DO WANT A 20 FOOT BUILDING LINE.

WHERE WE ARE NOW IS, UH, THE HOA PRESIDENT IS TRAVELING, I BELIEVE SO, AS THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL.

SO IN GOOD FAITH, WE WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THIS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND ASK, UM, LY REQUEST THAT YOU GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL TODAY.

AND WE WILL AS A CONDITION ON THE CPC 1 0 1 TO HAVE A RECORDED DOCUMENT THAT MEETS THE 20 FOOT BUILDING LINE BEFORE WE SUBMIT THE FINAL PLAT.

IS THAT IT? OKAY.

THANKS MS. OWENS.

UM, SO I'M GONNA ASK LEGAL TO GIVE US THEIR INPUT ON THAT.

I HAVE SEEN THIS DOCUMENT, I SAW IT THIS MORNING.

MY CONCERN IS THAT THE DEED RESTRICTIONS STATE SPECIFICALLY THAT THE FRONT SETBACK IS AS SHOWN ON THE RECORDED PLAT.

IN ANY EVENT, NO BUILDING SHALL BE LOCATED ON ANY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PLOT NEAR THAN 20 FEET TO THE FRONT LOT LINE NOR NEARER THAN 10 FEET TO THE SIDE STREET LINE, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ON THE RECORDED PLAT.

AND ON THE RECORDED PLAT, THE FRONT BUILDING LINE IS 25 FEET.

SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WITHOUT ANYTHING ELSE BEING FILED

[00:45:01]

IN THE PROPERTY RECORDS, THE CORRECT BUILDING LINE IS 25 FEET.

THIS, UH, DOCUMENT THAT FOR CLARIFICATION, HAS NOT BEEN FILED IN THE PROPERTY RECORDS.

SO MY ADVICE AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE BUILDING LINE SHOULD BE 25 FEET AND THIS, UH, REPL WOULD VIOLATE THE DEED RESTRICTIONS.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

COULD, UM, MS. OWENS JOT A REAL QUICK REQUEST FOR A 30 DAY EXTENSION AS A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION? YES.

SORRY, JUST ASKING IF SHE WANTED TO DO THAT.

YEAH, I DO WANT TO DO THAT.

JOT IT QUICKLY.

I'LL JOT I'VE JO QUICKLY.

I HAVE LINE.

I KNOW, I KNEW THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO.

MS. OWENS IT HAS, IT HAS NOT BEEN REQUESTED.

SO WE, WE WE CAN'T ACCEPT IT AT THIS TIME.

WE CAN'T.

LEGAL JUST SAID WE COULD IF SHE WROTE IT DOWN.

YEAH, I, I THINK WHAT YOU, WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND, IF YOU WANT TO ALLOW THE APPLICANT THE TIME TO WRITE SOMETHING QUICKLY, PAUSE ON THIS ONE, PAUSE ON THIS ONE, GO ON TO THE NEXT ITEM AND COME BACK TO THIS.

SO WE'LL JUST CONTINUE.

WE HAVE AN EMAIL OR DO YOU WANNA MOVE? YEAH, SO LET ME JUST, CAN I ADD ONE OTHER THING? AS HAS BEEN, UH, A FEW IN THE PAST, THIS IS ANOTHER ONE THAT I DID NOT REVIEW, UH, OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL REVIEWED.

IN THE INTERIM, IF THIS DOES GET, UM, DEFERRED, I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THESE DOCUMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING THIS LETTER FROM THE HOA IS SOMETHING THAT IS CONTEMPLATED BY THE RESTRICTIONS.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY HAVE THAT AUTHORITY AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.

AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO GO AND SEE IF THEY, I UNDERSTOOD MS. OWENS IS THIS WAS A TEMPORARY PAUSE ON THE PLAT AND THAT THE PRESIDENT AND THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL WERE GONNA WORK ON AMENDING THE CCNRS.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES.

SO THEY HAVE, THEY JUST DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME.

FIRST OF ALL, THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE WRONG.

AND THEY HAD TO CONVINCE THEM OF THAT .

UM, AND THEN THE, THIS WAS JUST AS A, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT DID I SAY EARLIER? Y'ALL LOST MY WORDS.

I'M GETTING OLD.

YEAH, YOU'RE, IT IS JUST A TEMPORARY REQUEST FOR US TO YEAH, IT'S A TEMPORARY, RIGHT.

UM, AND SO WITH THAT LEGAL COUNSEL, WITH THAT IN MIND, THE, THE PURPOSE, THE INTENT THAT I HEARD, AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE I, MAYBE I'M READING THINGS INTO IT, BUT THE INTENT I HEARD WAS THEY WANTED TO CHANGE THE CCNRS FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ALLOW 20 FOOT, BUT THEY BOTH WERE TRAVELING AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO DO IT.

THAT, SO MY 30 DAY SUGGESTION THAT MS. OWENS WAS THINKING ABOUT WAS SO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TIME TO GET BACK IN TOWN, GET THE VOTES THEY NEED, AND THEN DO THEIR RECORDATION OF THE PLAT.

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.

MY ONLY CAUTION IS THE DEED RESTRICTIONS HAVE TO SPECIFICALLY GIVE THEM THE POWER, THE AUTHORITY TO DO IT, TO CHANGE THAT.

AND I HAVE NOT REVIEWED THEM TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THIS AUTHORITY.

AND SO, MS. OWENS, YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND IF THAT WASN'T ALLOWED BY THE DOCUMENTS, THEN THIS WOULD BE DISAPPROVED REGARDLESS.

SO WE WOULD JUST ASK A CAUTION CAUTIONARY NOTE.

ME TOO.

I LIKE THE CAUTIONARY NOTE.

YES, MA'AM.

TO HAVE, AND, AND I'M WITH YOU ON THAT BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ALL WANNA BE IN COMPLIANCE, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY.

SO WHATEVER THAT IS, AND THEIR LEGAL TEAM, UH, IS REVIEWING THE DOCUMENT AND THEY WILL MAKE THEIR RECOMMENDATION FOR COMPLIANCE ALSO.

SO WE NEED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

CONTINUE IT FOR NOW.

GO ON TO THE NEXT ITEM AND COME BACK TO THIS ITEM.

AND I DON'T NEED A MOTION FOR THAT.

I JUST NEED TO CONTINUE.

I THINK YOU WITH CON CONCURRENCE OF THE COMMISSION, DOES ANYBODY NOT AGREE WITH THAT? YEAH.

THAT'S CONCURRENCE.

OKAY, MS. OWENS, RIGHT QUICKLY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

OKAY, ITEM 1 0 5 WAS WITHDRAWN.

ITEM 1 0 6 CLYBURN LANDING.

ITEM 1 0 6 IS CLYBURN LANDING.

DO YOU FEEL PICKED ON TODAY? BY ME? I'M SORRY.

NO, IT'S FUN.

YEAH, THE SITE IS LOCATED EAST ALONE.

SWI STREET, NORTH OF LIBERTY, LIBERTY STREET IN HOUSTON, CORPORATE LIMIT.

THE UM, REASON FOR RE PLAT IS TO CREATE TWO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOT CREATED IN, UH, 2021 WITH A OUS MANOR SUBDIVISION TO HAVE FRONTAGE ON AN ACCESS EASEMENT IN LIEU OF THE REQUIRED PUBLIC STREET FRONTAGE.

STAFF IS NOT IN SUPPORT OF THIS REQUEST.

THE APPLICANT CAN BUILD TWO HOUSES ON THE LOT OR BUILD OR PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE LOT LAYOUT WITHOUT PROPOSING AN ACCESS EASEMENT THAT DOES NOT MEET THE, THE, UM, THE ORDINANCE AND THE APPLICANT HAS NOT ARTICULATED A HARDSHIP THAT IS NOT SOLELY FINANCIAL AND DESIGN DRIVEN STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO DENY THE VARIANCE AND DISAPPROVE THE PLAT.

THIS, UH, PLAT WAS DEFERRED AT THE LAST PLANNING COMMISSION.

MADAM CHAIR

[00:50:01]

PLEASES TO COMMISSION.

YOU MAY CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME.

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CONTINUED FOR ITEM 1 0 6.

UM, COULD YOU PULL THAT LAST SLIDE BACK UP? THE ELEVATION, THE RENDERING, EXCUSE ME, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND.

SO THE ACCESS FOR THAT BACK LOCK LOT IS UNDER THE FIRST HOUSE? YES.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

THE, THE SECOND, THE SECOND, THE SECOND HOUSE, UM, IS, IS THROUGH A ACCESS EASEMENT WHERE IT'S ALL UNDERNEATH AND, YEAH.

NO, I THINK IT'S JUST, IT'S, YEAH, IT'S CANTILEVER.

IT'S CANTILEVER.

COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG, I THINK IT'S A GREAT SOLUTION TO GET TWO HOUSES ON A LOT.

WHY ARE WE AGAINST IT? AGAIN, I'M, I DIDN'T SAY I WAS AGAINST IT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS TO DENY.

THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO DENY WE, I MEAN, YEAH, WELL YOU WERE LOOKING AT ME, SO I'M LIKE, I DON'T REMEMBER SAYING I WAS AGAINST IT.

I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT.

SO MS. PFL RESTATE WHY THIS IS RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL.

WELL, IT'S RECOMMENDED FOR A DENIAL BECAUSE, UM, RIGHT NOW IT IS ONE LOT.

UM, THE APPLICANT, UM, CAN BUILD TWO HOUSES ON THE, ON THE LOT, UH, AS WELL AS, UM, THEY CAN PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE, UM, LOT LAYOUT THAT WOULD MEET THE SAME, THE SAME, THE, THE SAME I GUESS RESULT OF, UM, HAVING TWO HOUSES.

UM, AND ALSO WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE CANTILEVER, EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS COOL, THAT IT MAY PROVIDE A FIRE HAZARD AT FIRE A, A FIRE SAFETY.

THAT WAS GONNA BE MY, ONE OF MY QUESTIONS, ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS THE LIFE SAFETY.

WOULD A FIRE TRUCK, HOW WOULD THEY ACCESS THAT BACK UNIT? SO DID THE FIRE MARSHAL LOOK AT THAT OR NO, THEY HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT.

THEY, TO BE HONEST, THEY HAVE ANY AMBULANCE, ANYTHING, SO.

HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYBODY.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO FIGHT IT FROM THE STREET.

ALRIGHT, SO WE ARE CONTINUING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I HAVE, YES.

COMMISSIONER MORALE, I GUESS JUST TO COMMENT, I MEAN, IT, IT'S COOL AND, AND CREATIVE, BUT I GUESS THE OTHER CONCERN I HAVE IS HOW DO YOU ENFORCE THAT FIRST PROPERTY OWNER FROM NOT HAVING THEIR VISITORS PARK THERE AND BLOCK ACCESS AND ALL THAT? SO I, I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS LIKE MAINTAINING QUOTE UNQUOTE THE ACCESS EASEMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, KIDS' BICYCLES DON'T SHOW UP THERE.

SPARE CAR DOESN'T SHOW UP THERE AT THAT POINT, HOW DO YOU ENFORCE ANY OF IT? YEAH.

SO JUST A COMMENT.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

SO I HAVE A SPEAKER, JAMES POINDEXTER, MR. POINDEXTER.

AH, OKAY, GREAT.

PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

UH, JAMES POINDEXTER THIRD, UH, ALSO KNOWN AS TREY PO DEXTER.

UM, AS YOU SEE, WE WERE TRYING TO CREATE A, A COOL CREATIVE DESIGN SOLUTION FOR THE LOT, UM, ITSELF.

UM, ESSENTIALLY IN THE FRONTAGE WE ONLY HAD 30 UH, FEET TO WORK WITH, SO WE TRIED TO CREATE A DESIGN THAT WORKED WELL WITH, UM, CREATIVITY AND HOUSING SOLUTIONS.

THAT'S PROBABLY HAPPENING NATIONWIDE.

SO ON THIS, IT PROBABLY CREATES A NEW CONCEPT THAT COULD BE USED FOR OTHER BUILDINGS IN THE FUTURE IF IT GOES PROPERLY.

I THINK IN REGARDS TO ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOUT FIRE DEPARTMENTS, OUR PARKING OR PARKING, UM, THOSE ARE ALWAYS VARIABLES.

YOU KNOW, I THINK FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE THE HOLES AND PULL IT BACK TO THE BACK UNIT IF WE NEED TO.

UM, IN REGARDS TO PARKING, I THINK, UM, IN THE WISTFUL WORLD THAT BOTH NEIGHBORS WORK TOGETHER HAND IN HAND, JUST LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE FENCE LINE AND HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR A BETTER COMMUNITY.

BUT, UM, WE DID CREATE, IF YOU GO BACK TO ANOTHER SLIDE, WE DID CREATE A, UM, LITTLE LANDING WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY PARK TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE FOR THE FIRST UNIT.

IF YOU SEE RIGHT HERE TO THE LEFT, WHICH ALLOWED FOR PARKING RIGHT THERE, UM, TO DO A THREE POINT TURN, REVERSE OUT AND GET OUT.

UM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME ALLOW THAT, UM, THAT TENDED TO KNOW THAT HE HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY TO USE THE UNDER PATCH AS IF HE WAS DRIVING TO HIS OWN HOUSE IN HIS DRIVEWAY.

SO I THINK WE ARE JUST TRYING TO CREATE SOMETHING UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT, BUT STILL STAYING WITHIN THE GUIDELINES.

COMMISSIONER'S QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? YES.

COMMISSIONER TEHIR, I HAVE A QUESTION AND MAYBE LEGAL CAN ALSO CHIME IN ON THIS.

WHAT WOULD BE THE LEGAL STATUS OF THIS EASEMENT? UM, CAN WE HAVE BOTH OF OUR PARTNERS? BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER GENTLEMAN HERE FOR LEGAL.

I'M SORRY.

CAN YOU SAY, I, WHAT WOULD BE THE LEGAL STATUS OF THIS EASEMENT? THIS IS AN EASEMENT, RIGHT? WOULDN'T IT BE A PRIVATE ACCESS EASEMENT? YEAH, I MEAN IT'D BE, AND, AND WE REQUIRE THAT ANY PRIVATE EASEMENTS BE DONE IN PERPETUITY.

SO CAN YOU BUILD ON TOP OF AN EASEMENT? MM-HMM .

DEPENDS ON THE LANGUAGE OF THE EASEMENT.

AND IF THE EASEMENT IS FOR THE SURFACE AND YOU COULD BUILD ACROSS IT, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ENCROACH ON THAT PRIVATE EASEMENT, BUT DEPENDS ON THE LANGUAGE IN THE EASEMENT.

[00:55:01]

COMMISSIONER JONES.

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

IT, IT'S HARD.

THE, I ACTUALLY PRINTED IT OUT.

UH, IS THE, THE CLEARANCE DIMENSION IS NOT VERY CLEAR.

IT'S, IT'S SOMEWHAT BLURRED.

WHAT IS THE VERTICAL CLEARANCE? UM, OF THE PASSAGEWAY? YES SIR.

I'M NOT LOOKING AT IT RIGHT THIS SECOND.

14 FEET.

AND, AND THE WIDTH APPEARS TO BE 15.

UH, AGAIN, THIS IS A BLUR.

IT'S FOR ONE CAR, UH, TO GET THROUGH.

WE, WE TRY TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT WIDER THAN, UH, A STANDARD ONE CAR GARAGE, UM, TO MAKE IT EASIER TO GET THROUGH.

SO TECHNICALLY YOU CAN GET A CAR PLUS A FEW BODIES TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT OR BICYCLES.

I THINK SOMEBODY MENTIONED TOO, AND JUST IF THAT'S, IT'S A BLUR DRAWING THAT I PRINTED.

UM, THOUGH IT'S DIFFICULT TO PICK UP THE DIMENSION.

IT JUST APPEARS TO BE YEAH, 15 AND A HALF FEET.

BUT AGAIN, IT, IT COULD, COULD BE LESS, COULD 15 AND A HALF, I WOULD 15 AND A HALF.

THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.

THINK 15.

YOU SAID WHAT? YOU SAID YOU THINK IT'S 15? NO, I WOULD SAY 15 AND A HALF.

YES SIR.

AND IF THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT SAY, HEY, CAN YOU DO IT AT THIS? UM, YOU KNOW, HEY, CAN YOU ADD SOME MORE? I THINK THE BIGGEST THING WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE STAY WITHIN WAS A SIX FEET, UM, BUILDING LINE.

SO ESSENTIALLY, UM, WE TRY TO MAXIMIZE AS MUCH SPACE AS POSSIBLE TO ALLOW SOMEBODY TO DRIVE THROUGH IT.

COMMISSIONER SIEGLER, HOW? UM, DEEP IS THE LOT.

I'M SORRY.

I CAN'T, UH, 214 FEET.

AND I WANNA SHOW YOU THIS TOO.

DO, DOES ANYONE KNOW? IS IT, I I THOUGHT, AND THIS IS A QUESTION FOR STAFF, THERE IS A FIRE HOSE RULE.

UM, YEAH.

SO WOULD THIS, WOULD THIS MEET THAT? GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF PLANNING COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS DIPTI MATH.

IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, IT'LL MEET THE DISTANCE OF FI TO, TO COVER FOR THE FIRE.

THE CON THE CONCERN HERE IS THE, THE, UH, THE STRUCTURE THAT IS BUILT ABOVE AND WHAT KIND OF STRUCTURE IS BUILT UNDER ABOVE.

SO THE STRUCTURE ABOVE IS WIDER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED UNDER CHAPTER 42.

SO THE RIGHT THING AT THIS MOMENT, I THINK AFTER HEARING THE DISCUSSION STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO DEFER, TO CONSULT WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOU AT LEAST WE WOULD HAVE CONSULTED WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE AND COME BACK TO YOU WITH THE RECOMMENDATION THAT EITHER IT MEETS THE FIRE REQUIREMENT THAT THE FIREFIGHTERS WOULD BE ABLE TO FIGHT THE FIRE FOR THE STRUCTURE OR NOT.

UM, THAT'S ONE THING.

AND ALSO FOR INFORMATION, WE WOULD LIKE TO INFORM THAT THE FIRST DEFERRAL WAS NOT ABOUT THIS.

THE FIRST DEFERRAL WAS ABOUT DEED RESTRICTIONS.

AND WE WERE TRYING TO LOOK AT THE FIRST, THE FIRST DEFERRAL WAS IT WAS VIOLATING DE RESTRICTIONS.

AND SO THE, THE PROJECT WAS COMPLICATED AND WE JUST, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY CERTAIN THINGS ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

COMMISSIONER, ALLEN COMMISSIONER, WELL DOESN'T THE FIRE DEPARTMENT NO, BECAUSE THE PLA PLAT PLATTING ARE NOT ABOUT ALWAYS ABOUT THE STRUCTURES.

YES, YES.

COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG, I'D LIKE TO, UH, MAKE A MOTION TO SUPPORT THE DEFERRAL VARIANCE.

I MEAN WE HAVE PLENTY OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS IN HOUSTON THAT HAVE DRIVE UNDERS.

THEY'RE BUILT THESE EXACT HOMES ALL OVER AUSTIN THAT THEY'VE DONE THIS BEFORE.

I THINK IF WE CAN MEET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS, IT'S A GREAT CONCEPT.

UM, OKAY, SO LET ME CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

LET ME MAKE SURE I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 1 0 6? CLYBURN LANDING? YES, MR. ESPINO, I THOUGHT I SAW IT FORM FOR YOU AND THERE THEN I DON'T HAVE IT ANY LONGER.

YEAH, I THINK I MISLABELED.

ALRIGHT, WELL GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

CARLOS ESPINOZA HERE WITH CJ PLANNING.

I'M THE APPLICANT.

WE JUST LIKE TO PRESENT OUR CASE.

I UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE DEFERRAL REQUEST.

UH, WE BELIEVE THAT FIRE DEPARTMENT'S A PERMITTING CONCERN.

SO WE COULD DO THAT PERMITING AFTER WE GET, YOU KNOW, I APPROVED, WE COULD DO THAT PERMITTING.

IF THEY SAY NO, WE CAN NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FINAL PLAT.

THEY SAY YES, WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FINAL PLAT.

SO OUR SMALL REQUEST, WE DO WANNA SHOW YOU IF YOU WANT, IS IT SHOWN ON THERE? OKAY.

SO WE TALKED TO THE CITY AND THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE LAYERS OF RESTRICTIONS.

THERE IS THAT WE'RE MEETING WITH THE LEGAL TEAM.

THERE'S SIX FOOT SIDE BUILDING LANDS ON THE SIDE.

WE HAVE A 30 FOOT LOT, THERE'S 30 FOOT BUILDING LINES ON THE FRONT.

SO WE HAVE RESTRICTED USE OF THE PROPERTY.

IT'S NOT FINANCIAL, IT'S ABOUT HOW THE LAND WAS SUBDIVIDED, UH, PRIOR TO LIVABLE PLACES.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE DRAWINGS OVER HERE, WE HAVE OPTION ONE, OPTION TWO, OPTION THREE.

WE HAVE A 12 FOOT SHOE DRIVEWAY FLAG LOTS, 16 FOOT SHARED DRIVEWAYS.

WE HAVE BETWEEN FOUR FEET TO EIGHT FEET TO BUILD A HOUSE, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU CAN'T EVEN PUT A CAR IN EIGHT FEET.

UM, THE OTHER OPTION WITH WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING, WHICH IS A UNIQUE CASE, LIKE SOME PEOPLE WERE SAYING HERE, IT'S SOMETHING THAT TO ME IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT THAT I THINK A DIRECTOR TREND SHOULD BE ADDED TO PLACES AS AN OPTION IN THE FUTURE.

[01:00:02]

NEXT DOOR.

THAT'S THE LOT.

THAT'S THE TWIN, LOT OF THE ORIGINAL REPL THEY BUILD JUST NOT TO BE ATTACKING ANYBODY BUT THIS UGLY FRONT LOADER, DUPLEX AND THIS NARROW LOT, IT'S JUST DIFFERENT.

MR. ESPINOZA.

SO WE CAN BUILD THIS BY RIGHT? WE DON'T WANNA DO THIS, WE WANNA DO THE RIGHT THING.

THE ARCHITECT, THE DEVELOPER ARE HERE.

WE WANNA DO A GREAT DESIGN.

AND LIKE I SAID, UM, YOU GUYS CAN SEE NEXT DOOR THAT'S WHAT WAS WHAT WAS BUILT.

WE DON'T WANNA DO THAT.

SO WE WANNA DO SOMETHING THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S GREAT FOR HOUSTONIANS AND THAT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH WE BELIEVE WE ARE PER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

UM, THE ONLY REQUEST IS THE ACCESS EASEMENT FOR LAW TWO IN THE BACK.

AND IF WE DO HAVE TO MEET WITH FIRE, LIKE I SAID, WE WOULD LIKE TO GET APPROVAL.

FIRE SAYS NO, WE DON'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FINAL PLAT, THEN WE JUST GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD OR GO BACK TO THIS DESIGN, WHICH WE DON'T LIKE.

QUESTIONS COMMISSIONER SIGLER.

SO THIS IS A PRELIMINARY PLAT AND IT WOULD HAVE, IT WOULD COME BACK, I'M ASKING STAFF AND IT WOULD COME BACK FOR FINAL.

AND WOULD, WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE, HAS THAT HAPPENED BEFORE THAT FIRE REVIEWS BETWEEN PRELIMINARY AND FINAL? UM, EVEN IF NOT APPROPRIATE, COULD IT BE DONE? YEAH.

IS IF WE ASK, I THINK WE CAN MAKE SURE.

CAN WE PUT THAT ON THE 1 0 1 FORM AND WELL YES.

TO, TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

BUT I HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT.

WHEN WE GET A MINUTE.

IS THAT OKAY? ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD.

UH, COMMISSIONER, UH, I, I WAS GONNA GONNA SAY WE'VE NOT SEEN THE EASEMENT DOCUMENT THIS, AND THIS IS SHOWN ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AS A PROPOSED ACCESS EASEMENT.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHAT THAT MEANS.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE, I'M IN FAVOR OF THE DEFERRAL FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE.

WE'VE GOT THE QUESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD THE EASEMENT DOCUMENTS SAY? UM, IS THIS AN EASEMENT? IS THIS JUST PART OF A SHARED DRIVEWAY OR HOW ARE, HOW ARE WE REALLY LABELING THAT? SO FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, I THINK WE NEED TO ADD THAT DURING A DEFERRAL PERIOD.

PLEASE.

YES, GO AHEAD.

WE DID PROVIDE THE ACCESS EASEMENT TO STAFF ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY IT WASN'T GIVEN TO YOU GUYS.

JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THERE.

SO WE STILL HAVE, I STILL HAVE YOUR MOTION.

COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG, I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU.

DO I HAVE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON, UM, ITEM 1 0 6.

I'M GOING TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ACCEPT COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG'S, UH, MOTION TO DEFER.

THE PURPOSE OF THE RE PLAT IS TO CREATE AN UNRESTRICTED RESERVE.

MADAM CHAIR, IF IT PLEASES THE COMMISSION, YOU MAY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM.

AT THIS TIME, PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM ONE 10 IS OPEN.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF SPEAKERS.

UH, BILL BUR, I'M JUST HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BERG? ALL RIGHT.

ALBERT VAN HUFF.

[01:10:04]

MY NAME'S ALBERT VAN HUFF.

I'M AN ATTORNEY, UH, AND I HAPPEN TO LIVE ON 1522 NEVADA STREET, UH, WHICH IS A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOUSE THAT'S CARRIED ON THE TAX ROLLS AT ABOUT 1.4 MILLION CURRENTLY.

AND, UH, I HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH, UH, THE REQUESTED REPL OF THE REAL ESTATE.

UM, IN QUESTION HERE TODAY.

UH, LET'S SEE.

CAN YOU, CAN SOMEONE PULL UP THE, THE THIS DOCUMENT? YES, SIR.

SINCE LUCILLE PLACE WAS FORMED IN THE 1940S.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THIS DOCUMENT, YOU SEE THE, UH, THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED AREA.

THE ONE TO THE EAST IS THE END UNIT THAT IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF NEVADA AND COMMONWEALTH STREET.

THERE'S THREE LOTS TO THE LEFT OF THAT, WHICH ARE LOTS.

ONE, TWO, AND THREE.

THOSE HAVE BEEN DEED RESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL SINCE THE FORTIES.

AND THERE ARE CURRENTLY THREE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, ONE ON EACH OF THOSE LOTS.

AND MY HOME IS ADJACENT, UH, TO LOT ONE TO THE LEFT OF LOT ONE.

NOW, WHAT THE DEVELOPER DID IS THEY BOUGHT, CAN YOU STEP UP TO THE SPEAK THE MIC SO YOU'RE ON THE SURE.

WHAT THE DEVELOPER DID IS HE BOUGHT THAT PIECE OF LAND THAT'S ON HADDEN STREET AND COMMONWEALTH, THE LARGER PIECE OF LAND.

I'LL SAY IT'S TO THE NORTH OF THE LOTS IN QUESTION.

AND HE ALSO BOUGHT THOSE THREE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS THAT HAVE BEEN DEED RESTRICTED SINCE THE FORTIES.

AND THERE'S ANOTHER, I THINK THEY DID A REPL LATE LAST YEAR AND FILED, UH, THIS DOCUMENT WITH THE REAL ESTATE RECORDS.

AND THIS DOCUMENT SPECIFICALLY SAYS THAT THESE THREE LOTS ARE STILL DEED RESTRICTED FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

AND SO WHAT THEY'RE SEEKING TO DO IS TO CREATE ONE BIG PIECE OF LAND OUT OF THE, THE ONE THAT'S ON HADDEN IN NEVADA AND ALSO THOSE THREE LOTS INCLUDING THE, THE IN THE FOURTH LOT, WHICH IS THE END CAP.

NOW NEVADA STREET, THE ENTIRE STREET IS RESIDENTIAL UP TO THE END CAPS.

AND SO I THINK SOMEBODY MAY HAVE MISSPOKEN ABOUT NO DE RESTRICTIONS PROHIBIT THE REPL IN QUESTION BECAUSE CLEARLY ACCORDING TO THIS PLAT, WHICH I THINK THESE SAME DEVELOPERS WERE INVOLVED IN FILING IN WITH THE REAL ESTATE RECORDS IN DECEMBER OF 2023, REFERS TO THESE THREE AS BEING DEED RESTRICTIONS.

AND I'VE HAD A LAW CLERK GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE REAL ESTATE RECORDS, UH, FOR THIS, UH, LUCILLE PLACE SUBDIVISION THAT THIS PROPERTY IS IN.

AND AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL, UH, SINCE IT WAS FIRST PLATTED AS A RESIDENTIAL AREA, ALL OF THE STREETS OTHER THAN THE END CAP HAVE BEEN DEED RESTRICTED AS RESIDENTIAL.

AND SO, UH, AS A RESIDENTIAL OWNER, I NEED, I NEED YOU TO WRAP UP PLEASE.

I NEED YOU TO WRAP UP.

YOUR TIME IS UP.

YES, MA'AM.

AS A RESIDENTIAL LANDOWNER, UH, BASICALLY TO THE WEST OF THESE LOTS, YOU KNOW, I, I BOUGHT MY PROPERTY IN RELIANCE ON THE FACT THAT THESE THREE NEIGHBORING LOTS WERE DEED RESTRICTED.

THE WHOLE STREET IS DEED RESTRICTED EXCEPT FOR THE END CAPS.

SO BASED ON THAT, I WOULD ASK THE COMMISSION TO DENY, UH, THE REQUESTED RELAID DUE TO THE DEED RESTRICTIONS FOR LOTS ONE THROUGH THREE.

UM, I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM LEGAL WHAT YOU ALL FOUND YOLANDA.

MS. JONES, MS. WOODS, I MEAN MS. SORRY, .

AND, UM, IF MR. VAN HUFF COULD TELL ME WHAT MAP HE'S LOOKING AT THAT SAYS THAT THESE LOTS ARE RESTRICTED, THIS IS A PLAT THAT WAS FILED WITH THE REAL ESTATE RECORDS IN DECEMBER OF 2023.

THIS LITTLE SUB PARAGRAPH WITH THE RED STAR NEXT TO IT, IT SAYS THAT THOSE THREE ARE DEED RESTRICTED AS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

WELL IT SAYS THAT THAT THE PARCELS OF LAND DESIGNATED ON THE LOTS ON THIS PLAT OR ARE ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, UM, OR THE PLACEMENT OF A MOBILE HOME SUBDIVISION AND SHALL BE RESTRICTED FOR SAME UNDER THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS FILED SEPARATELY.

THERE WERE NO RESTRICTIONS FILED SEPARATELY FOR THAT SUBDIVISION.

THE MICROPHONE, AND WE CAN USE THE DOCUMENT CAMERA.

I THINK LEGAL MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO ON THIS ONE BECAUSE I'VE GOT DEEDS OF, OR THE, UH, THE ORIGINAL PLAT OF LUCILLE PLACE.

HMM.

WHICH I REVIEWED IN PREPARATION OF THIS HEARING, UH, IN WHICH I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF HERE WITH ME, INDICATES THAT ALL OF THOSE LOTS, INCLUDING THE THREE IN QUESTION ON NEVADA STREET, HAVE INDEED RESTRICTED

[01:15:01]

AND SO THAT'S THE SEPARATE DOCUMENT THAT I THINK THE DEED RESTRICTIONS IN THIS MENTIONED IN THIS DOCUMENT THAT WAS FILED IN DECEMBER OF 2023 ARE REFERRING BACK TO YOU.

AND I'M LOOKING AT THE PLAT MAP OF LUCILLE PLACE THAT IS IN THE PROPERTY RECORDS.

AND I SEE ABOUT 15 RELAS ON THIS MAP.

UM, I CAN'T SAY IF THEY'RE FOR RESIDENTIAL OR NOT, BUT OUR TITLE SEARCH DID NOT COME UP WITH ANY SEPARATELY FILED RESTRICTIONS FOR LUCILLE PLACE OR WHEN THIS WAS REPLANTED INTO, UH, WHAT'S THE NAME OF IT? UM, HOUSTON ELECTRIC VEHICLE MONTROSE.

UH, WE HAVE NOT FOUND ANY SEPARATELY FILED RESTRICTIONS.

WE HAVE THE MAPS, BUT NOT ANY SEPARATELY FILED DEED RESTRICTIONS FOR EITHER ONE OF THOSE SUBDIVISIONS.

THANK YOU MS. WOODS.

MR. VAN HOFF, YOU KNOW, WE ARE, WE'RE, WE'RE CHARGED HERE TO WORK WITH OUR LEGAL COUNSEL AND OUR LEGAL COUNSEL IS GIVING US ADVICE AND THIS REALLY ISN'T A MATTER WHERE WE CAN SIT HERE AND DEBATE AND, AND DETERMINE WHETHER YOU'VE GOT PROOF OR THEY'VE GOT PROOF.

WE TRUST THAT OUR ATTORNEYS, OUR LEGAL COUNSEL HAS DONE THEIR RESEARCH.

SO, UM, WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN AND WE'RE NOT DISCOURAGING YOU FROM CONTINUING TO LOOK AT THIS, BUT WE ARE, WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE ON.

I BELIEVE I FOUND A 2013 REPL MR. VAN HUFF.

I APPRECIATE IT, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE OFF, OFF TO THE SIDE.

OKAY, MR. BY, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? YES, MY NAME'S BILL BY I REPRESENT THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF WHAT'S CURRENTLY YELLOW.

THEY USED TO OWN THE NORTH HALF AS WELL.

UH, THAT WAS RE PLATTED, UM, IN DECEMBER, UH, FOR A ANOTHER BUYER LEAVING THE SOUTH HALF.

AND, UM, IT WAS THAT REPL THAT HE'S REFERRING TO THAT THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT WE'VE EVER SEEN A RESTRICTION, UH, FOR RESIDENTIAL.

AND THAT JUST SLIPPED PAST EVERYONE.

BUT THE TITLE COMPANY DIDN'T COME UP WITH ANY OTHER RESTRICTIONS, UM, ON THE SOUTHWEST, UH, LOTS.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS ADDED.

I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET A GOOD ANSWER.

UM, BUT IT'S, TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, IT'S NEVER BEEN DEED RESTRICTED TO RESIDENTIAL, SO.

THANK YOU MR. BGE.

YOU BET.

I HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER.

LAURA WHELAN.

GOOD AFTERNOON MS. WHELAN.

WOULD YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS LAURA WHELAN.

I'M ANOTHER NEIGHBOR.

I'M ACTUALLY THE NEIGHBOR DIRECTLY, UH, FACING THE PROPERTY THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO I'M ON NEVADA AND NEVADA AND COMMONWEALTH.

THERE ARE TWO HOUSES THERE.

I'M ONE HALF, THE OTHER HALF JUST HAD A BABY TWO WEEKS AGO, SO THEY COULDN'T BE HERE TODAY.

UH, BUT I CAME TO ASK PARTICULARLY ABOUT DRAINAGE.

UH, RECENTLY, IN RECENT YEARS WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF NEW BILLS HAPPEN, PARTICULARLY, UH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND WHERE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY ISSUES WITH FLOODING IN THE PAST.

THIS YEAR IN PARTICULAR WITH SOME OF THE RECENT STORMS, WE'VE SEEN SERIOUS WATER LEVEL RISE IN THE STREET FOR THE FIRST TIME.

UH, MY NEIGHBORS TO THE LEFT ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN LIVING THERE FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS, A REALLY LONG TIME, EXCUSE ME.

AND THEY'VE SAID THAT THEY'VE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES BEFORE, BUT THIS YEAR WE HAD MULTIPLE CARS BE FLOODED, UH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WITH SOME OF THE RAINS.

AND SO MY SERIOUS CONCERN IS ON THIS LAND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TREES, THERE'S A LOT OF GRASS, THERE'S A LOT OF DIRT, AND IT ABSORBS A LOT OF THE RAIN.

AND I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THEY PUT CONCRETE OVER THE WHOLE THING, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S FOR A PARKING LOT OR CHARGING STATION OF SOME KIND THAT'S GONNA SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE DRAINAGE OF THE STREET AS A WHOLE.

AND SO MY QUESTION IS REALLY, ARE THERE ANY KIND OF PLANS TO ABATE ANY OF THOSE ISSUES? ARE THERE PLANS TO INSTALL NEW DRAINAGE, UH, AND PLANS TO REPLACE ANY OF THE TREES THAT THEY HAVE TO COME DOWN, UH, ET CETERA? SO THANK YOU.

UM, THIS BODY DOESN'T, WE'RE NOT AT THE DRAINAGE POINT.

THIS IS JUST AT PLATTING.

SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS, OKAY, AFTER MR. CILLO IS DONE HERE, WE'LL GET SOME CONTACT INFORMATION FOR YOU WITH THE APPLICANT.

'CAUSE I BELIEVE MR. BURG IS JUST REPRESENTING, UH, FOR THIS MEETING.

I CAN ANSWER A LOT OF HER QUESTIONS.

TRUST OUR LEGAL COUNSEL, BUT I JUST HAD A PRO PROPERTY THAT WENT THROUGH MULTIPLE TRANSACTIONS AND NO ONE KNEW THERE WAS US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEER EASEMENTS ON THE PROPERTY.

SO THEN MAYBE THE TWO OF YOU GUYS CAN GET TOGETHER AND, UH, YOU CAN HELP HER OUT.

I HAVE NO ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS SIGNED TO SPEAK.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? HEARING NONE? I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND SEEK A MOTION FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL.

UM, ON ITEM ONE 10.

I'M SORRY, HOLD ON A SECOND.

COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG.

UM, UM, I KNOW WE

[01:20:01]

THEY WERE NOT IN ANY TITLE SEARCH IN ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS.

SO NOT OUR LEGAL, BUT THE LEGAL SYSTEM IS NOT PERFECT.

AND I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST IF A SOMEONE'S BROUGHT SOMETHING TO OUR ATTENTION THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER IT, POTENTIALLY GIVE A DEFERRAL, UM, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THE COMMISSION WOULD, UH, CONSIDER.

SO IS THAT A MOTION? YES MA'AM.

SO I HAVE A MOTION FOR DEFERRAL.

GO AHEAD.

COMMISSIONER MORRIS, YOU HAVE A QUESTION? WELL, A QUESTION OR STATEMENT, BUT SHOULD SOMETHING BE, SHOULD WE APPROVE THIS THEORETICALLY OR IF WE HAD PUT A MOTION TO APPROVE AND THEN SOMETHING CAME TO LIGHT, IT WOULD'VE, IT UM, VOID THE APPROVAL, CORRECT? YEAH, CORRECT.

AN APPROVAL IF, IF SOMETHING COMES UP AT A LATER DATE APPROVAL CANNOT OVERRIDE ANY VALID DEED RESTRICTIONS.

SHOULD THERE ACTUALLY BE SOME OUT THERE? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION, UH, IN FRONT OF YOU FOR DEFERRAL.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

COMM JONES.

SECOND.

COMMISSIONER JONES.

I'M GONNA ASK FOR A SHOW OF HANDS FOR A MOTION FOR DEFERRAL.

I, I JUST, UH, I JUST HAVE TO SHARE BECAUSE I LIVE, UM, NOT TOO FAR AWAY AND THIS IS AN AREA THAT I'VE BROUGHT UP A FEW TIMES WHEN THERE'S BEEN DEVELOPMENT.

IT IS REALLY, REALLY TOUGH.

IT IS NOT WALKABLE, IT IS NOT SAFE.

I MEAN, IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HIT AND I'M NOT EX I'M NOT EXAGGERATING.

I MEAN, IT'S SO TIGHT ALL AROUND THERE.

UM, I DEFINITELY THINK IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC TO HAVE SOME SPEED BUMPS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I CAN DEF ATTEST TO THE DIFFICULTIES THERE.

UM, AND ANYTHING THAT THE DEVELOPER CAN DO, YOU KNOW, WITH RESPECT TO THE LAYOUT OF IT, I MEAN, I, I, IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE THERE'S TWO, TWO ENTRANCES, WHICH I KNOW IN THE PAST WE'VE TRIED TO AVOID BECAUSE IT'S ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR, YOU KNOW, PEDESTRIAN IMPACT AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE NEEDS TO ALSO BE, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S ALSO SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK AT IN TERMS OF NO PARKING SIGNS OR SOMETHING, BUT IT IS JUST A MESS OVER THERE.

[01:25:01]

UM, CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING? YES.

COMMISSIONER STEIN? YEAH, I JUST, I DO WANNA POINT OUT THAT THE, THE, UH, GARAGE BUILDING LINE IS, IS 20 FEET PER OUR LIVABLE PLACES REGULATION.

SO A PICKUP TRUCK CAN PARK IN FRONT OF THE DR IN THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT GOING OVER THE SIDEWALK.

SO THAT'S A LITTLE A GOOD, GOOD NEWS THING.

COMMISSIONER BALDWIN, DID YOU HAVE SOME MOUNTAINS? I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THE SAME THING.

IT'S ONE OF OUR FIRST 20 FOOT GARAGE BILL LINES AS A RESULT OF THE LOUISVILLE PLACES ACTION AND WHAT WE, WE TOOK AND IT, IT DIDN'T MEET THE RESTRICTED GUIDELINES FOR THE NARROW DRIVEWAY, BUT IT IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIRS AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS RODRIGUEZ.

ITEM ONE FOUR FULTON STATION APARTMENT.

THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE CITY LIMIT WEST ALONG FULTON STREET AND EAST OF I 45 SOUTH OF QUE STREET.

THE APPLICANT IS PLANNING TO DEVELOP A MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITH GROUND LEVEL PARKING AND IS SEEKING A VARIANT TO ALLOW A GEO FOOT BORDERLINE ALONG QUARTER STREET INSTEAD OF 10 FEET.

DURING THE DEFER PERIOD, THE APPLICANT MET WITH STAFF AND THE CITY ENGINEER AND THEY ALSO RECEIVED COMMENT FROM THE FIRE MARSHAL.

SO THEY DECIDED TO REQUEST A SECOND DEFERRAL TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND TO REVIVE THE VARIANT REQUEST, THEY'RE PLANNING TO REQUEST A GEO FOOT BORDERLINE ALONG A MEN MOUNTAIN STREET, WHICH IS THE NORTHERN STREET OF THE, OF THE PLOT AND NOT ALONG CODE ANOTHER STREET.

AND THIS CHANGE WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE COMMISSION AT THE NEXT MEETING.

SO THAT RECOMMENDATION IS TO PREPARE THE PLOT PER THE APPLICANT REQUEST.

SO I HAVE SOME SPEAKERS SIGNED TO SPEAK STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS FOR DEFERRAL? YES.

UM, SO I'M GONNA CALL YOUR NAME IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND SPEAK TODAY.

THOSE ARE THE ONLY SPEAKERS I HAD SIGNED TO SPEAK.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? ALL RIGHT, COMMISSIONERS.

I'M LOOKING FOR A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR STAFF.

[01:30:01]

ITEM ONE 15 MADAM CHAIR, I'M GONNA RECUSE FROM ONE 15.

PLEASE NOTE, UH, COMMISSIONER, HE IS RECUSING HIMSELF FROM ONE 15 ITEM ONE 15 A CODO VILLAGE GP.

THE SITE IS LOCATED IN HOUSTON, ETJ IN HARRIS COUNTY NORTHEAST ALONG KIRKENDAL ROAD AND NORTH OF GRAND PARKWAY.

THE APPLICANT REQUESTED A VARIANCE AND SPECIAL RECEPTION TO FT.

INTERSECTION FACING ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN AND NORTHWESTERN BOUNDARIES, BUT NOT PROVIDING AN EAST, WEST STREET.

STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF BOTH REQUEST.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TRUE COMMERCIAL RESERVE AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH PRIVATE STREET AND IS ALSO PROVIDING PARTIAL RIGHTWAY DEDICATION FOR FUTURE MINOR COLLECTORS.

LINDSEY ROAD AND KLEIN OAK LANE CHAPTER 42 REQUIRES AN EAST WEST PUBLIC STREET TO ADDRESS MINIMUM 1400 INTERSECTION FACING BETWEEN COOK AND DO ROAD AND FUTURE KLEIN OAK LANE.

HOWEVER, THIS REQUIRE STATE WOULD NOT BE EXTENDED PER THE EAST DUE TO AN EXISTING CENTER POINT TRANSMISSION CORRIDOR LOCATED EACH OF THE SIDE, WHICH LOCAL STREET ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CROSS PER THE ORDINANCE.

THE SPECIFIC EXCEPTION REPRESENT A 25% DEVIATION FROM THE STANDARD, WHICH IS A MINOR MODIFICATION.

SO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE ACCESS TO CORKEN DOG ROAD AND THE PLAN COLLECTOR STREET WHEN FULLY DEVELOPED WILL ADDRESS FUTURE TRAFFIC NEEDS.

SO HARRIS COUNTY ENGINEER DEPARTMENT IS IN SUPPORT OF REQUESTS AND STAFF.

RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE SPECIAL RECEPTION AND PLA SUBJECT TO THE CCPT 1 0 1 FORM CONDITION.

THAT WAS A MOUTHFUL.

OKAY, I HAVE UH, JUST MR. GRISSOM IF HE ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

ITEM ONE 16, ITEM ONE 16, MARIO EDGE COMMERCE PARK.

THE SITE IS LOCATED IN HOUSTON, ETJ IN HARRIS COUNTY EAST OF I 45 AND SOUTH OF LORETTA ROAD.

THE APPLICANT REQUEST AN ADVANCE TO NOT EXTEND OR TERMINATE LORETTA LEE DRIVE WITH THE COOLER DOCK STOP IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSES ONE WILL SERVE FOR COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES ALONG EDGE LANE.

LORETTA LEE DRIVE IS THE 50 FOOT WIDE RESIDENTIAL LOCAL STREET THAT TERMINATE AT THE WESTERN PLOT BOUNDARY.

EXTENDING THIS STUFF AS REQUIRED BY CHAPTER CHU WOULD INTRODUCE COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TRAFFIC INTO THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL AREA.

SO GRANTING THE VARIANT TO NOT EXTEND OR TERMINATE LORETTA LEE DRIVE WITH THE ESTAC WILL HELP TO PRESERVE THE CHARACTER OF THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD BUT BY PREVENTING NON-COMPATIBLE TRAFFIC, ALSO EXTENDING THIS STOP WOULD NOT IMPROVE THE OVERALL TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AS TRAFFIC CIRCULATION IS ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED BY THE ASSISTANT STREET PATTERN.

HENRY COUNTY ENGINEER DEPARTMENT IS IN SUPPORT STOP RE THE IS TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLEDGE SUBJECT TO THE CCPC 1 0 1 FORM CONDITION.

I HAVE NO ONE SIGNED TO SPEAK ON ITEM ONE 16.

BOUNDARY.

STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS A GENERAL PLAN PROPOSING AN INTERNAL STREET SYSTEM OF LOCAL PUBLIC STREETS.

THE EASTERN GP BOUNDARY IS 12, UH, 1,246 FEET IN LENGTH AND THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES A PUBLIC STREET CONNECTION EVERY 1400 FEET.

THE NEXT EAST WEST, EAST WEST CONNECTION OPPORTUNITY WOULD EXCEED THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT AND THEREFORE THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO NOT PROVIDE A SUB STREET ON THEIR EASTERN GP BOUNDARY.

THE SITE IS BOUNDED

[01:35:01]

FINALLY, THE GENERAL PLAN IS LOCATED WITHIN THE FLOOD PAINT FLOODPLAIN FOR MUSTANG BAYOU AND THEREFORE THE DETENTION IS REQUIRED, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE GP WHILE THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS PORTIONS OF THE GP.

THE GENERAL PLAN PROPOSES THREE STREET CONNECTIONS TO OLYMPIA PARKWAY ON THE SOUTHERN GP BOUNDARY, ALLOWING FOR MULTIPLE POINTS OF ACCESS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS AN ACCESS POINT TO A CHIMNEY ROCK ON THE WEST ALLOWING FOR ADEQUATE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING AN 82 ACRE GENERAL PLAN INTENDED FOR WAREHOUSE USE.

THE ADJACENT PROPERTY IS OWNED BY EXXON MOBIL AND IS USED AS AN INDUSTRIAL SITE AND THE NEARBY SUBDIVISION TO THE EAST DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY PUBLIC SUB STREET CONNECTION TO THIS.

GENERAL PLAN IN THE SITE IS AFFECTED BY MULTIPLE PIPELINE EASEMENTS ADJACENT TO SCARSDALE ROAD AND IS BISECTED BY A TRANSMISSION CORRIDOR.

ALSO, THE EASTERN BOUNDARY CONTAINS A PORTION OF 150 FOOT WIDE DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY IS ADJACENT TO A GREEN BELT OWNED BY HARRIS COUNTY MUD.

OVERALL, STAFF BELIEVES THESE EXISTING CONDITIONS JUSTIFY NOT PROVIDING ANY PUBLIC STREETS THROUGH THE SITE.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLA SUBJECT TO THE CPC 1 0 1 FORM CONDITIONS.

THANK YOU MR. CRILE.

I HAVE A COUPLE, COUPLE OF SPEAKERS.

JAMES HOOP, PLEASE COME UP.

STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

THANK Y'ALL.

UH, JAMES, WHO THANK Y'ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

I WANT CLARIFICATION.

IS THIS VARIANCE FOR APPROVAL FOR THE STREETS OR TO DENY THE STREETS TO TO NOT PROVIDE ANY, TO NOT PUT ANY IN, CORRECT.

NOW FEEL FREE TO COME ANYTIME YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

NO, NO, I GET IT.

NO, ABSOLUTELY.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MILES WEST.

MY NAME IS MILES, MILES WEST.

I'M A RESIDENT OF THE SUBDIVISION ACROSS THE BIO FROM WHERE THEY'RE BUILDING THERE.

I I REALLY CAME DOWN HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT DRAINAGE.

UH, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE.

I DON'T, I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE BUILDING.

THERE IS GONNA BE A GOOD, UH, USE FOR THAT ODD SHAPE LAND WITH THE UTILITIES AND EVERYTHING.

BUT, UH, ALL TO THE NORTH OF US THAT KEEP TRAINING THIS WAY, THEY KEEP DEVELOPING THAT ALL ALONG THE BELTWAY AND ALL THAT WATER HAS TO TURN AND GO UP UNDERNEATH INTERSTATE 45.

AND ONCE IT GOES UNDER INTERSTATE 45, IT GOES ABOUT 200 FEET BETWEEN TWO CAR DEALERSHIPS AND THEN IT JOINS TURKEY CREEK, WHICH HAS BEEN A MONSTROUS FLOOD AREA.

HURRICANE HARVEY SHOWED US THAT ALL THAT WATER DIDN'T GO UNDERNEATH THE GULF FREEWAY.

IT FLOODED ON BOTH SIDES, HUGE AREAS ALL THE WAY BACK INTO SAGE ONE SCARSDALE THERE.

AND, UH, WE WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY CONCERNED IN OUR SUBDIVISION THAT THE DRAINAGE KEEPS GETTING WORSE.

UH, OKAY.

BARRELL, I'M, I'M SORRY.

OH NO, CONTINUE.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE.

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT YOU.

BARREL WAS ONLY WHAT, SIX INCHES OF RAIN MAYBE? MM-HMM .

AND YET BEHIND MY HOUSE, I LIVE ON THE BACK STREET, IT'S NEVER FLOODED.

IT WAS ALMOST FULL.

AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST, THAT'S NOT 51 INCHES OF RAIN.

THAT'S SIX INCHES OF RAIN.

HARVEY, IT FLOODED ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE H SOUTHERN HOMES ON THE SOUTH END OF OUR SUBDIVISION.

AND SO WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT FIXING THE ISSUE OF GOING UNDERNEATH THE GULF FREEWAY.

AND THEN IT TURNS LEFT AND IT HAS TO GO UNDER DIXIE FARM ROAD AND THERE'S REALLY NO DEVELOPMENT, NO PLACE FOR THE WATER TO GO SOUTH AFTER THAT.

AND SO IT'S, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DRAINAGE.

I UNDERSTAND.

THE BACK WITH MR. WEST AND HE CAN HELP YOU OUT WITH YOUR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

AND AS SOON AS MR. CRILE IS DONE, HE CAN GIVE YOU SOME CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE APPLICANT.

OR MAYBE THIS IS IN THE COUNTY CORRECT.

NOW IS IN THE CITY, CITY OF HOUSTON.

SO, UM, MAYBE YOU CAN GET HIM IN TOUCH WITH MR. SMITH.

I THINK HE'S OR MR. BROWN, EITHER ONE.

THANK YOU MR. WEST.

I'LL LET YOU, I'LL LET YOU ASK THE QUESTION.

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SPEAK AGAIN, BUT YOU WERE SO QUICK.

I'LL GIVE YOU A MINUTE WHAT THE GENTLEMAN'S ASKING.

IS THIS JUST FOR THE ROSE COME THROUGH OR FOR THE SITE TO BE APPROVED? BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE WAS A BIG THING.

WE'VE BEEN ACTUALLY WORKING WITH THE CITY OF HOUSTON TRYING TO GET WITH THE, UH, DRAINAGE OF ALL THE RETENTION PONDS OUT THERE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MEET AND THEY JUST DID A LIDAR WHERE THEY FLEW OVER THE AREA AND VERIFIED THAT THEY HAVE TO BE, THE RETENTION PONDS HAVE TO BE RESURFACED BECAUSE THE AREA DOES NOT, UH, MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE DRAINAGE.

AND SO REALLY DRAINAGE ISN'T IN OUR PURVIEW.

AND SO YOU KEEP HEARING ME REFER PEOPLE TO PUBLIC WORKS OR TO THE COUNTY.

MR. BROWN IS RIGHT BACK IN

[01:45:01]

I HAVE NO ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS SIGNED TO SPEAK.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? OKAY.

COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS? DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION? MOTION JONES SECOND TO HEAR.

THANK YOU MR. CRIDDLE.

ITEM 1 22.

ITEM 1 22 IS WHITE OAK COMMERCIAL.

THIS ITEM WAS DEFERRED AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING.

THE STUDY IS LOCATED ALONG NORTH MAIN STREET AT THE INTERSECTION OF BOUNDARY IN KEEN STREETS.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A RESERVE FOR PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING VARIANCES FOR REDUCED BUILDING LINES ALONG NORTH MAINE AND KEENE.

AND A REDUCED VISIBILITY TRIANGLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF KEENE AND BOUNDARY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEFERRAL PER THE REQUEST OF CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT H AND THIS WILL BE THE SECOND AND LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR A DEFERRAL.

THE SITE IS LOCATED THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH MAINE AND BOUNDARY TO TYPE TWO TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT STREETS.

THE BOUNDARY SIDE OF THE PROPERTY MEETS THE TOD REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW FOR REDUCED SETBACK.

STAFF IS WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT TO MAKE REVISIONS TO THE NORTH MAIN STREET SIDE OF THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR OPTING INTO THESE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AS WELL.

IF THESE CONDITIONS ARE MET, THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR REDUCED BUILDING LINE VARIANCE ALONG NORTH MAIN STREET.

THE PROPOSED REDUCTION OF VISIBILITY TRIANGLE AT KEENAN BOUNDARY DOES NOT PREVENT ANY OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS CONSIDERING THE SMALL INCURSION AND THE RANGE OF VISION FROM THE PROPOSED STOP SIGN.

THE PEDESTRIAN REALM TRANSPARENCY AND ACTIVE GROUND FLOOR USE ALONG KEENAN ARE CONSISTENT WITH TOD PRINCIPLES.

THOUGH THE STREET IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO OPT INTO THESE STANDARDS, THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING THE REQUIRED RIGHT OF WAY.

WIDENING CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT H HAS REQUESTED THE ITEM BE DEFERRED TO ALLOW TIME TO REVIEW THE UPDATED APPLICATION MATERIALS.

STAFF RECOMMENDS DEFERRAL PER THEIR REQUEST.

WE'VE RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE BUILDING LINE REQUEST, THOUGH EXPRESSING CONCERN OVER THE VISIBILITY TRIANGLE AND WE'VE ALSO RECEIVED MULTIPLE, UH, COMMENTS OBJECTING OVER THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS IMPACT ON DENSITY AND TRAFFIC.

I HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED TO SPEAK.

UH, RANDALL BAXLEY.

MR. BAXLEY, IF YOU WOULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

YES, I AM RANDALL BAXLEY.

AND BASICALLY I, I THINK THE DISTRICT, UH, DISTRICT AGE AS WELL AS, UH, THOSE OF YOU I SEE AROUND THE, AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, AT ALL THE TIME, UH, KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

UH, I DON'T THINK THE PEOPLE DOING THIS PROPERTY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVE WHO CAME TO SUPER NEIGHBORHOOD HOOD KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON.

SHE COULDN'T ANSWER NONE OF OUR QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED THAT NIGHT.

AND THE MAIN QUESTIONS ARE THE ONES THAT YOU'VE HEARD.

THE THE ONES ABOUT THE DENSITY, ABOUT THE WATER, ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND, AND, UH, THE, THE VIEW OF TRYING TO MAKE THAT CORNER THAT CORNER IS, IS UH, THE, THE TRAFFIC IS EXACERBATED BY THE FACT THAT THE METRO MAKES A CURVE THERE AT BOUNDARY.

AND, UH, AND SO TO, TO BUILD SOMETHING RIGHT UP TO THE EDGES OF THIS PROPERTY IS, IS JUST A NAME TO ME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF OR FOR THE SPEAKER? FOR HIM? ACTUALLY.

THE SPEAKER.

OKAY, GO AHEAD.

YEAH, AND SO I NOTICED IN THE PUBLIC COMMENTS THERE WERE A COUPLE OF, UM, INDIVIDUALS WHO NOTED THAT THERE WAS A PERSON GOING AROUND GETTING PETITIONS, BUT THEY WEREN'T COMMUNICATING EVERYONE THAT THERE WAS A VARIANCE REQUEST INVOLVED.

I WAS WONDERING WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCE WAS.

I AM FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THAT.

I AM NOT ACTUALLY AT THAT PROPERTY.

I'M CLOSER TO OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE BEFORE YOU RIGHT NOW.

BUT, UH, BUT THAT PROPERTY I, I GO THROUGH ON THE WAY TO MY, UH, NORTH CENTRAL CIVIC ASSOCIATION MEETINGS, OF WHICH I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT.

UH, THEY ALSO DID NOT COME TO US FOR, FOR SUPPORT ON THIS, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU MR. BAXLEY.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

COMMISSIONER? YES, COMMISSIONER COLVARD.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? HEARING NONE.

UM, JUST IN THE DEFERRAL PERIOD, CAN WE GET SOME CLARIFICATION ABOUT WHETHER ANY PETITIONS DID, WHETHER THAT WAS DISCLOSED TO, UM, THERE IS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE APPLICANT HERE.

MAYBE THEY CAN CLARIFY THE OUTREACH.

SURE.

I JUST THINK THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR TRANSPARENCY THAT THERE'S A VARIANCE AND WHAT THAT VARIANCE ENTAILS.

SURE WILL DO.

I BELIEVE WHAT THE DEFERRAL SHE'S REC YEAH, I'M GONNA CALL HER UP.

THE, THE DEFERRAL, THE RECOMMENDATION IS SO THAT THEY CAN GET WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBER.

IS THAT CORRECT? AND HOPEFULLY THAT WOULD HELP TRANSPARENCY.

AND AND SPEAK, DO YOU WANNA COME UP? OKAY.

AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP

[01:50:01]

SURE.

I MEAN, I'M NOT FORCING YOU, BUT IF YOU, IF YOU WANNA MAKE COMMENTS, IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD PLEASE.

YES, MY NAME IS JANET MONTES.

I ACTUALLY WORK WITH THE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, UH, WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND, UM, WE HAVE BEEN LETTING PEOPLE KNOW I'M ACTUALLY THE ONE THAT'S WALKING AROUND AND LETTING PEOPLE KNOW OF THE VARIANCE.

AND I EVEN HAVE A PICTURE OF IT.

I HAVE IT WRITTEN OUT SHOWING THEM WHAT THE VARIANCES ARE AND EXPLAINING THAT TO THEM.

COMMISSIONER BALDWIN, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? MAYBE EVEN FOR MR. BUTLER, I'M JUST, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE VISIBILITY TRIANGLE? IT'S A LITTLE HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND HERE.

SURE.

SO THE, THE VISIBILITY TRIANGLE ON NORTH MAIN IN BOUNDARY IS BEING MET.

THEY'VE CUT THE BUILDING BACK TO ALLOW FOR IT.

THERE IS A SMALL INCURSION ON THE KEEN IN BOUNDARY VISIBILITY TRIANGLE, UM, WHICH JUST THE, THE, THERE'S A RENDERING THERE.

IT'S JUST THE CORNER OF THE BUILDING.

IT'S, IT'S LESS THAN A FOOT THAT'S GONNA ENCROACH INTO THE TRIANGLE.

I THINK IT WAS LESS THAN IF IT LIKE 0.8, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, THANK YOU.

UH, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK AND PLEASE COME FORWARD.

IF YOU'D PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

HELLO, MY NAME'S MICHAEL TELLO.

UH, I'M A NATIVE HOUSTONIAN AND A 65 YEAR RESIDENT OF THE NEAR NORTH SIDE AREA.

I WAS GONNA DEFER TILL THE NEXT TIME WE MEET ON THIS, BUT I FEEL IT'S NECESSARY TO GO AHEAD AND SPEAK.

I AM SPEAKING TO YOU ALL CONCERNING THE NOTICE OF THE VARIANCE FOR PROJECT REFERENCE 2 0 2 4 DASH 1 4 3 2.

THE VARIANCE THAT REQUEST A 10 FOOT BUILDING LINE ALONG NORTH MAIN STREET WILL RESTRICT FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ROADWAY.

THIS VARIANCE WILL IMP IMPROVE, IMPEDE ANY FUTURE EXPANSION TO NORTH MAIN STREET, WHICH IS A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AS LISTED ON THE DRAWINGS THAT WERE, UH, ADDED TO THE VARIANCE REQUEST.

CURRENTLY IN NORTH MAIN STREET, THERE'S ONE THROUGH LANE AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH MAIN AND BOUNDARY.

THERE'S ONE THROUGH LANE GOING ALONG THE METRO RAIL AND THERE'S ONE LEFT TURN LANE GOING TOWARDS FULTON, GOING TO THE RIGHT.

THERE'S JUST THAT ONE THROUGH LANE AND YOU HAVE THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT'S GONNA BE THE RESTAURANTS, BARS, WHATEVER, THAT'S GONNA ATTRACT A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

AND RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET ON THAT LITTLE, UH, UH, KING STREET, WHICH IS ALL TORN UP NOW, WHICH HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE CONTRACTOR, YOU HAVE A HUGE APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT'S ALREADY BEEN BUILT GETTING READY TO OPEN THAT HAS OVER 300 UNITS.

THERE'S GONNA BE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC AT THIS INTERSECTION ONCE THIS BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT AND THAT APARTMENT COMPLEX OPEN.

AND NO ONE'S LOOKING AT THE, AT THE TRAFFIC OF THIS INTERSECTION.

IT'S GONNA BE A HUGE PROBLEM.

AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO SPEAK TODAY 'CAUSE WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY TYPE OF TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TRAFFIC GOING ALL THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS EVERYWHERE.

IT'S GONNA BE A MESS.

UH, PLEASE WRAP UP.

YOUR TIME IS UP.

PLEASE WRAP UP.

I DO NOT SUPPORT THE REQUESTED VARIANCES.

I'M REQUESTING A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY, UH, BE GIVEN TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER'S OFFICE TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC.

AND AS FAR AS THE ZERO BUILDING LINE ALONG KING STREET, UH, THEIR DRAWINGS SHOW THAT PARKING IS GONNA BE PUSHED ONTO THE CITY RIGHT OF WAY.

AND KEEN IS ALREADY A VERY NARROW, SMALL LITTLE PUBLIC STREET.

UH, HOW THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO GET CARS THROUGH THERE WITH PUSHING THEIR PARKING BUSINESS, PARKING ONTO THE STREET.

I DON'T KNOW.

UH, THOSE ANSWERS HAVEN'T BEEN MET.

AND, UH, THE ENCROACHMENT TO, UH, ALLOW, PLEASE WRAP UP MR. TOULA.

YOUR TIME IS UP.

OH, THE 15, UH, THE 15 FOOT VISIBILITY TRIANGLE AT THE CORNER OF KEEN STREET AND BOUNDARY WILL REDUCE PEDESTRIAN AND DRIVER SAFETY.

THAT'S HOW I FEEL.

SUPER NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP.

THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

AND MR. BUTLER, MAYBE YOU COULD GIVE HIM SOME DIRECTION ON WHO TO CONTACT AND TALK TO ABOUT TRAFFIC AND PARKING AND VISIBILITY TRIANGLE AND ALL OF THAT.

THANKS.

GETTING OUR QUESTIONS? YES, THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.

I BELIEVE WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH EMAIL, SO I'LL JUST OKAY.

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU MR. TULO.

[01:55:01]

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? OKAY.

HEARING NONE.

MR. BUTLER, WOULD YOU MIND PLEASE RESTATING IT WAS RECOMMENDATION FOR DEFERRAL CERTAINLY DEFER PER THE COUNCIL MEMBER'S REQUEST AND TO GIVE THEM TIME TO MEET WITH THE COMMUNITY AND WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBER? YES.

COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION IN A SECOND.

DID YOU HAVE VOTE? I'M SORRY.

VOTE YES.

I JUST HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF AND IT'S, IT'S A, UM, I GUESS PROCEDURAL QUESTION.

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR IMAGERY? BECAUSE IT'S OFTENTIMES I PULL IT UP ON MY PHONE AS I'M SITTING HERE AND IT SEEMS A LITTLE OUTDATED WHAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE PROVIDING.

I MEAN, I, I KNEW THERE WAS AN APARTMENT COMPLEX THERE AND IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN CHANGE THAT? AND THAT MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR THE DIRECTOR THAT MIGHT BE A, BUT JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

I THOUGHT OF AT OTHER MEETINGS AND NEVER WENT TO INTERRUPT, BUT MIGHT BE WORTH LOOKING INTO.

THEY, THEY REGULARLY UPDATE THOSE LAYERS.

JUST HONESTLY, DEVELOPMENT HERE MOVES VERY FAST, SO SOMETIMES THEY EVEN YEARLY UPDATES CAN, YOU KNOW, A IMAGE FROM TAKEN EARLIER IN THE YEAR, MAYBE DATED BY NOW? SO, AND I THINK THE DIRECTOR WILL LOOK INTO IT BECAUSE SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL GET WITH THE APPLICANT THE DAY BEFORE.

THEY'LL ASK FOR DIFFERENT IMAGES, THEN THEY GET THOSE IMAGES RIGHT BEFORE THE MEETING.

AND SO IT MAY NOT BE IN OUR PACKET AND IT MAY NOT BE UPLOADED ON PLAT TRACKER, BUT IT'S PRESENTED HERE.

AND I MAY BE SPEAKING OUTTA TURN, BUT, SO THERE'S SOME TIMING THINGS, BUT I KNOW DIRECTOR, I MEAN THE WHOLE BUILDING IS BUILT AND SO THAT YEAH.

WELL THAT IMAGERY YES.

COUPLE WEEKS.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED.

THANK YOU FOR THAT COMMENT.

WE'RE MOVING ALONG NOW TO LOST MY PLACE AGAIN.

ITEM 1 35.

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

MY NAME IS ED BUCKLEY.

ITEM 1 35 IS 6 0 1 FAIRVIEW STREET.

THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN HOUSTON CITY LIMITS AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF FAIRVIEW AND HOPKINS STREETS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A TWO FOOT BUILDING LINE ALONG HOPKINS STREET IN LIEU OF THE ORDINANCE.

REQUIRED 10 FOOT BUILDING LINE FOR A FIRE RISER ROOM AS WELL AS NOT TO DEDICATE FIVE FEET TO THE RIGHT OF WAY ON FAIRVIEW STREET.

THE FOUR FOOT FIVE FOUR FOOT OCCUPIABLE FIRE RISER ROOM IS IN ADDITION TO AN EXISTING MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND IS REQUIRED TO BRING THE BUILDING UP TO CODE.

THE ADDITION OF THE RISER ROOM WILL ALSO REQUIRE REORIENTING ENTRY STEPS, WHICH WILL ENCROACH THE BUILDING LINE BY MORE THAN THE ALLOWABLE FIVE FEET BECAUSE THE EXISTING BUILDING IS ENCROACHING THE 10 FOOT BUILDING LINE ALONG BOTH STREETS.

ANY EXTERIOR ADDITION WILL ALSO BE AN ENCROACHMENT.

A TWO FOOT BUILDING LINE WOULD BE COMPARABLE TO ADJACENT BUILDINGS, MANY OF WHICH WERE BUILT BEFORE CITY ORDINANCE

[02:00:01]

BUILDING LINES.

AND AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL, THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO REMOVE FENCING THAT IS ENCROACHING THE 15 BY 15 FOOT VISIBILITY TRIANGLE.

THE PROPOSED BUILDING LINE WOULD LEAVE APPROXIMATELY 9.5 FEET BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND THE STREET.

DEDICATING FIVE FEET TO THE RIGHT OF WAY ALONG FAIRVIEW WOULD AFFECT EXISTING PARKING AND REQUIRE AN ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT FOR PARTS OF THE EXISTING BUILDING.

DUE TO THE LIMITED SCOPE OF CONSTRUCTION, STAFF RECOMMENDS RIGHT, RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION BE WAIVED BECAUSE THE PROPOSED ENCROACHMENTS ARE NOT HABITABLE AND ARE REQUIRED FOR FIRE SAFETY.

AND BECAUSE, AND BECAUSE THE REQUESTED SETBACK IS COMPARABLE TO ADJACENT BUILDINGS, STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF A TWO FOOT BUILDING LINE ALONG HOPKINS STREET BECAUSE OF THE SMALL SQUARE FOOTAGE AND LIMITED SCOPE OF CONSTRUCTION.

STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF WAIVING RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION ON FAIRVIEW STREET.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE REQUEST.

THANK YOU MR. BUCKLEY.

RICHMOND AVENUE IS A PRIMARY TOD STREET, WHICH REQUIRES USE SITE AND LAYOUT AND PEDESTRIAN REALM STANDARDS PER THE TOD ORDINANCE.

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

MY NAME IS PETRA SHAW.

ROMAN NUMERAL THREE IS 2 0 8 MAIN STREET.

THE SITE IS LOCATED IN HOUSTON, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT ON THE WEST SIDE OF MAIN STREET BETWEEN FRANKLIN AND CONGRESS STREET.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING LOT AND IS REQUESTING A LANDSCAPING VARIANCE TO NOT PROVIDE THE REQUIRED THREE STREET TREES IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, ONE PARKING LOT, TREE AND 30 SHRUBS IN LIEU OF THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPING.

THE APPLICANT, UM, HAS PROPOSED TO PROVIDE THREE LITTLE GEM, UM, MAGNOLIA TREES IN PLANTERS ALONG THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY AND FOUR ON ONSITE PLANTER BOXES AROUND THE PARKING LOT.

STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUESTS.

THE SITE'S RIGHT OF WAY IS CONSTRAINED BY UNDERGROUND UTILITIES AND THE SITE ITSELF IS BOUNDED BY HISTORIC BUILDINGS.

ADDITIONALLY, THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FOR THE EQUIPMENT TO SERVICE THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS FURTHER REDUCE THE AVAILABLE SPACE FOR TREE PLANTINGS.

THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO PROVIDED A GEOLOGICAL REPORT DETAILING THE LIMITED OPTIONS FOR PLANTING TREES INSIDE OF THE SITE DUE TO THE EXISTING SITE LIMITATIONS.

AND BECAUSE THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE LANDSCAPING ON SITE TO PRESERVE THE INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE REQUEST.

UH, I HAVE NO ONE SIGNED TO SPEAK.

ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK? OKAY.

COMMISSIONERS, I HAVE NEED, I'M SORRY.

PLEASE COME FORWARD.

STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OH, OKAY.

YES, COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YES.

COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG.

UM, I, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO GET DOWNTOWN DISTRICT'S INPUT IN THIS.

THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF PLANNING ON MAIN STREET.

THERE'S A LOT OF CHANGES COMING TO THAT SECTION AND DEFINITELY BEING MAIN STREET WE NEED, I WOULDN'T WANNA OVERRULE ANY THOUGHTS OR INPUT THEY HAVE JUST, THEY'RE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY AND TIME RIGHT NOW RE REDOING MAIN STREET.

UM, SO WE HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND THEIR STEER WAS NOT TO PUT IN STREET TREES.

AND THAT'S WHY WE ORIGINALLY WENT TO PUT PLANTERS AS PER THE STANDARD DESIGN ALONG MAIN STREET.

THE PERMIT CAME, PERMIT COMMENTS CAME BACK THAT WE SHOULD PUT STREET TREES.

AND SO WE'VE COME UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE DESIGN.

SO WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM AS WE KNOW THAT THE PLANS TO PEDESTRIANIZE MAIN STREET AND, UH, WE ARE ONE OF THOSE SITES WHICH THEY WILL ALLOW VEHICULAR ACCESS.

JUST, UM, BE GOOD TO HAVE SOME IN WRITING FROM THEM.

SO YEAH, WE ARE, WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANYTHING IN THE RIGHT OF WAY.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ON OUR PROPERTY.

THANK

[02:10:01]

YOU.

SO I THINK THAT'S MORE OF A QUESTION FOR STAFF.

UM, IF YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THE DISTRICT GO COMMISSION MEMBERS IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE THE, UH, THE PLANTING IS HAPPENING WITHIN THE PRIVATE PROPERTY, IT IS NOT IN THE PUBLIC PROPERTY.

WE HAVE NOT COMMUNICATED WITH THE DISTRICT, BUT HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE, THEY'RE PRO PROVIDING THE PLANTERS WITHIN THE PRIVATE PROPERTY.

SO IT SHOULD BE, IT SHOULD BE OKAY.

IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.

HOWEVER, IF WE CAN COORDINATE IL WE CAN, WE CAN CONTINUE TO COORDINATE, UH, AFTER THE APPROVAL IF THAT, I'M SURE THEY COULD FIND A PLACE FOR THOSE THREE TREES SOMEWHERE ELSE IN DOWNTOWN.

SO AGAIN, JUST AS MUCH AS THEY HAVE GOING ON, I'D APPRECIATE YOU TOUCHING BASE WITH THAT.

YEAH, THANKS DTI.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

I MEAN, IT'S ON THEIR PROPERTY AND SO IF THEY WANNA PUT THE THREE TREES ON THEIR PROPERTY, THEY CAN DO THAT, RIGHT? YES, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO DO SO.

AND THE VARIANCE REQUEST IS TO NOW REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TREES THAT ARE REQUIRED VERSUS, UM, THEY'RE REQUIRED FOUR RIGHT.

FOUR TREES AND THEY'RE PLANTING THREE TREES.

AND IF THIS WAS GOING ON THE RIGHT OF WAY, AND THEN OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD HAVE BEEN TO APPROVE AND WE DID NOT COORDINATE, UH, IN THAT CASE, WE WOULD HAVE RECOMMENDED DEFERRAL TO COORDINATE WITH DOWNTOWN, UH, DISTRICT.

BUT IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE IT'S IN THE PRIVATE PROPERTY, I, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION STILL STANDS FOR RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL.

WE WILL CONTINUE.

WE WILL, WE WILL, WE CAN SEND AN EMAIL TO THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT AND, UH, AFTER THE FACT ALSO.

WE CAN DO THAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? OKAY.

I THINK THAT'D BE A GOOD IDEA.

UM, SO WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOTION SEGLER.
