[I. Semi-Annual Report of the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee on Water/Wastewater Impact Fees (Deidre Van Langen)]

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

MY NAME IS DEIDRE VAN LANGAN FROM HOUSTON PUBLIC WORKS AND I'M HERE TODAY TO PRESENT THE JANUARY 20, 26 SEMI-ANNUAL WATER AND WASTEWATER REPORT TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 3 9 5, TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED ORDINANCES TO ESTABLISH TO ADMINISTER THE CITY'S IMPACT FEES PROGRAM.

APPROVAL OF MOTION 90 DASH 0 6 1 4 BY CITY COUNCIL APPOINTED THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

THIS REPORT DOCUMENTS CHANGES THAT OCCURRED BETWEEN THE PERIODS OF MAY 1ST, 2025

[00:05:02]

IN SUMMARY OF THE SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT, I OFFER THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, A TOTAL OF $27,144,778 AND 97 CENTS WAS GENERATED FROM REVENUE AND INTEREST FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES ACCRUED IN THE IMPACT FEES ACCOUNT BETWEEN MAY 1ST, 2025 AND OCTOBER 31ST, 2025, THE FIRST HALF OF THE SIXTH YEAR OF THE 20 20 20 30 IMPACT FEE PROGRAM.

THE CURRENT WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEE OF $4,286 AND 93 CENTS PER SERVICE UNIT FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER IS 38.6% OF THE MAXIMUM FEES ALLOWED BY CURRENT LAW.

THE WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES IN EFFECT FOR THIS REPORTING PERIOD HAVE BEEN EFFECT IN EFFECT SINCE JULY 1ST, 2025.

WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 20 20 20 30 IMPACT FEE PROGRAM ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL, THE NUMBER OF SERVICE UNITS THAT GENERATE THE 27,144,000 787 770 $8 AND 97 CENTS WAS 5,841 SERVICE UNITS FOR WATER AND 6,723 SERVICE UNITS FOR WASTEWATER.

A TOTAL OF 647 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS WERE EXEMPT FROM PAYING IMPACT FEES AND WERE GRANTED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS BELOW MEDIAN HOUSING PRICE DURING THIS PERIOD.

EXAMINATION OF THE DATA REGARDING SERVICE UNITS CONSUMPTION FROM MAY 1ST, 2025 THROUGH OCTOBER 31ST, 2025 INDICATES SIGNIFICANT CAPACITY REMAINS IN THE WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT THE ANTICIPATED DEMAND THROUGH JULY 1ST, 2026, THE END OF THE NEXT REPORTING PERIOD.

BASED ON THESE FINDINGS, I RECOMMENDED THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTING AS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE AUTHORIZE THE APPROPRIATION TO DEBT RETIREMENT FOR THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF REVENUE AND INTEREST GENERATED FROM WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD IN THE SUM OF $27,144,778 AND 97 CENTS.

THE PUBLIC HEARING

[00:25:01]

I HAVE ONE SPEAKER.

MELANIE, YOU'RE, WHY DON'T YOU COME ON UP AND SAY YOUR NAME, PLEASE.

.

HELLO, UH, MELANIE LES.

HI, UH, NICE TO MEET YOU EVERYONE.

I AM A RESIDENT ON THIS PROPERTY.

UH, I AM DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE PROPERTY THAT'S INTENDED TO BE SUBDIVIDED.

I'VE LIVED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 45 PLUS YEARS.

UM, THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A ISSUE WITH FLOODING.

OBVIOUSLY, DEVELOPERS ARE COMING IN BUILDING, UM, LARGE HOUSES ON SMALL LOTS, UH, WHICH DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE DRAINAGE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD IS, UM, USES DITCHES, UM, AS DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

SO OBVIOUSLY I'M CONCERNED, UH, AS THE CURRENT RESIDENTS, AS INCLUDING MYSELF.

THE HOUSES HAVE FLOODED MULTIPLE TIMES PRIOR TO ANYTHING BEING DEVELOPED ON THIS LOT.

NOW, MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT I HEARD THAT THE DEED RESTRICTIONS HAVE SINCE EXPIRED.

UM, ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS THAT I FOUND ON THE DEED RESTRICTIONS, THEY ARE RENEWED EVERY 10 PLUS YEARS.

UM, THERE IS A CIVIC CLUB THAT IS ACTIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE HAVE MET ON THIS, UH, DISCUSSION AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A MISUNDERSTANDING AS FAR AS THE DEED RESTRICTIONS NOT BEING VALID.

UH, WE HAVE MULTIPLE DEVELOPERS COMING IN THERE AND DOING THINGS THAT ARE NOT, UM, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXISTING DEED RESTRICTIONS.

SO ACCORDING TO THE DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED, UH, ONLY ONE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AND ONE DETACHED GARAGE CAN BE BUILT ON A LOT.

THERE IS A LOT SIZE RESTRICTION THAT THE PROPERTY COULD NOT BE LESS THAN 50 FEET WIDE ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL PLANT.

THAT PLAT THAT IS DIVIDED RIGHT THERE MUST REMAIN THAT SIZE.

AND ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE LISTED, THEY DID SAY THEY WANTED TO PUT TWO RESIDENCES, WHICH IS AGAINST THE DEED RESTRICTIONS AS FILED.

UM, ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, THE CIVIC CLUB THAT IS ACTIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY DOES REQUIRE PLANS BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED.

THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED.

UM, GETTING ACCORDING TO THE PLAT INFORMATION THAT WAS SUBMITTED, UM, THEY MENTIONED POSSIBILITY OF A MOBILE HOME, A SUBDIVISION BEING BUILT ON THIS LOT.

AGAIN, NO TEMPORARY STRUCTURE SUCH AS A MANUFACTURING HOME SHED TENT CAN BE USED AT ANY TIME.

GO AHEAD AND WRAP UP QUICKLY.

SO COUNSEL, I DO RECOMMEND THAT YOU RE-REVIEW THIS, UM, PLAT REQUEST, DEFER TO A LATER DATE, CONFIRM WHETHER OR NOT THOSE DEED RESTRICTIONS ARE ACTIVELY, UH, ACTIVE.

WE JUST ENLISTED A NEW PRESIDENT IN CHARGE OF THIS COMMUNITY AND I REQUESTED YOU DEFER THIS, UH, PLAT FOR FURTHER RECONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU.

MS. HOWARD, CAN YOU HELP US WITH THE DEED RESTRICTIONS? THE ORIGINAL RESTRICTIONS EXPIRED ON JANUARY 1ST, 1997.

THERE WAS AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO, UM, CREATE RESTRICTIONS IN ADVANCE OF THAT EXPIRATION.

AND THE STATUTE REQUIRES SOME PROCEDURAL MANDATES THAT WERE NOT MET.

SO THEY MAY BE FILED, BUT THEY MAY NOT BE VALID OR ENFORCEABLE.

OKAY.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS.

ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

I HAVE NO ONE ELSE SIGNED TO SPEAK ON ITEM 78.

DO I? IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO? OKAY, I'M GONNA CLOSE A PUBLIC HEARING AND SEEK A MOTION FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

MOTION JONES.

MOTION JONES.

SECOND GARZA.

SECOND GARZA.

ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

UM, MADAM CHAIR.

YES.

COMMISSIONER GARZA.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO SAY TO OUR SPEAKER, UM, UH, WHERE ARE YOU? I DON'T SEE YOU.

SHE'S, UH, YEAH.

OH, THERE YOU OKAY.

SHE'S BEHIND DORIAN.

ALL RIGHT.

UM, I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT, UH, THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY THE END FOR YOU.

YOU CAN PURSUE THIS IN COURT IN SOME OTHER WAY, BUT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THE BEST INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE FROM OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT.

IF YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE IN FACT ENFORCEABLE, THEN YOU, YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD MIGHT HAVE TO GO TO COURT TO ENFORCE THEM BECAUSE GOING FORWARD, WE'RE GONNA GO WITH THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE, THE HARD INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE.

AND AT THIS POINT, THAT MEANS VOTING AGAINST YOU.

NOW LET ME THROW THIS OUT TOO.

AND, UH, IF, IF WE CAN DO, IF THESE ARE NOT ENFORCE, UH, TODAY, LET'S JUST SAY, UM, TOMORROW YOU CAN APPLY FOR MINIMUM LOT SIZE.

UM, AND THAT WILL BE AT LEAST A FAIL SAFE IN BETWEEN YOU'RE GETTING THEM RENEWED, WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW LOTS TO BE SUBDIVIDED.

AND THE STAFF WOULD WORK WITH YOU TO DETERMINE HOW THAT WOULD FIT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO, UH, PLEASE TALK TO STAFF BEFORE YOU LEAVE AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET SOME INFORMATION ON THAT.

AND THAT MIGHT BE YOUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE.

AND THEN DEED RESTRICTIONS COULD COME BACK INTO FORCE LATER.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MS. P.

YOU'LL GET WITH HER AFTERWARDS.

RIGHT? THANK YOU.

OKAY, WE TOOK A VOTE.

SO WE'RE MOVING ON TO

CONDITIONS.

THE APPLICANT HAS MET ALL NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS AND WE DID RECEIVE A CONCERN ABOUT, UH, THIS, UM, REQUEST WHEN, UM, THE SIX FOOT BUILDING LINE WAS FOR A GARAGE BAY, BUT THEY'RE NOT DOING THE GARAGE BAY.

THEY, THEY'RE JUST GONNA HAVE A, UM, STORAGE, UH, ROOM.

SO THAT'S SO THAT, SO THEY, IT CHANGED.

OKAY.

SO MADAM CHAIRMAN PLEASES COMMISSION, YOU MAY CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU.

I'LL CONTINUE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 80.

I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF SPEAKERS.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS SUSAN KIEV, AND IF I GOT THAT WRONG, PLEASE CORRECT ME.

HI, MY NAME IS SUSAN KISLER.

I'M A NEIGHBOR.

UM, I CAME TWO WEEKS AGO TO THIS MEETING AND WE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THE HOMEOWNER AND THE COMPANY REPRESENTING THE HOMEOWNER.

THE WHAT THEY PRESENTED IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO IMPROVE TODAY.

SO I FEEL LIKE IT'S UN UNFAIR TO MAKE A DECISION TODAY.

I WAS TOLD TWO DAYS AGO BY MS. FLM THAT THE, YOU WERE NOT GOING TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS.

SO I THINK THERE ARE SAFETY ISSUES.

THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, LESS THAN TRUTHFUL REPRESENTATION OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED.

SOME NEIGHBORS LOOKED AT THE DRAWINGS THAT WERE SENT, UM, TO US AND THOUGHT, WELL, THAT LOOKS BETTER THAN

[00:35:01]

'CAUSE IT'S A MESS.

AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN WORK WHEN YOU'RE NOT HONEST ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO GET APPROVED.

THANK YOU.

UM, WE'VE GOT REPRESENTATION OF THE OWNERSHIP HERE.

UM, HOPEFULLY THEY CAN HELP CLARIFY.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS NATHAN DIETRICH.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM CHAIR COMMISSIONERS.

UH, NATHAN DIETRICH.

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF, UH, DAVID SHEEN.

HE WANTS TO EXPRESS, UM, HIS APOLOGIES WHY HE CAN'T BE HERE.

HE'S A PROFESSOR AT ST.

THOMAS AND HE'S ACTUALLY TEACHING A CLASS AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME.

UH, AS, AS MS. KESSLER SAID THAT WE DID MEET AT THE PROPERTY AND, UM, THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10, 10 OR SO NEIGHBORS THERE, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A GREAT TURNOUT.

UM, THERE WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT WERE BEING DONE.

WE, AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE, OF THE OWNER, WE GAVE OUT WHAT WE PRESENTED TO CITIES IN YOUR, IN YOUR PACKET.

WE DIDN'T GIVE OUT ANYTHING DIFFERENT.

SO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PACKET IS WHAT WE GAVE TO ALL THE FOLKS OUT THERE.

WE EXPRESSED THAT WE WERE AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME GOING TO BE HAVING, UM, A FOURTH GARAGE BAY.

UM, BUT, UH, AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH STAFF AND DISCUSSIONS WITH MY, MY, UM, CLIENT, UM, WE FELT THAT THAT WASN'T NECESSARY.

AND, UH, WE, WE CHANGED OUR, WE CHANGED OUR SUBMITTAL, UM, OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS.

UM, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKED.

UM, I'M SORRY THAT SHE FEELS THAT WAY.

UM, WE DID, AS WE SAID WE WERE GONNA DO BEFORE WE MET WITH THE, WE MET WITH THE HOMEOWNERS AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY, I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY OTHER FOLKS THAT WERE THERE, BUT, UH, THERE WAS, JUST TO BE HONEST, IS THAT THERE WERE SOME FEELINGS OF, UH, SOME PEOPLE WERE FOR, FOR IT AND OTHER PEOPLES WERE STILL, UM, THINKING OR SCRATCHING THEIR HEAD A LITTLE BIT.

BUT ALL IN ALL, IF WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FURTHER, MOST OF THOSE TIMES THE PEOPLE HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT.

SO I, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONERS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YES, COMMISSIONER MA.

HI.

UM, SO THE, THE FIRST COMMENT ON THE CPC 1 0 1 FORM IS FROM CENTER POINT SAYING THAT THEY ACTUALLY NEED A 10 FOOT BUILDING ALONG, ALONG HAYDEN FOR THOSE OVERHEAD FACILITY.

SO, LIKE, PERSONALLY, I'M NOT INCLINED TO APPROVE THIS VARIANCE FOR THAT REASON ALONE, BUT IF YOU DO GET IT, JUST BE AWARE THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH CENTERPOINT AND BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CO CLEARANCE VIOLATIONS THAT YOU CREATE.

RIGHT.

SO I JUST WANNA GET THAT ON THE RECORD.

SURE.

BECAUSE THAT CAN ADD SOME DOLLARS TO YOUR PROJECT AND, AND YOU'RE GONNA JUST HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CLEAR UP THAT CODE CLEARANCE ISSUE.

UM, BUT BECAUSE SENATOR POINT VERY CLEARLY WROTE THAT IT NEEDS TO BE A 10 FOR BUILDING LINE, LIKE I PERSONALLY, I WOULD NOT BE INCLINED TO SUPPORT THE VARIANCE COMMISSIONERS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? UM, I'D HAVE ONE.

UM, SO TO MY UNDERSTANDING, THE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE WITH YOU AND STAFF TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR.

WE, SO THAT'S BASICALLY THE CHANGE FROM LAST TIME THAT WE SAW THIS, RIGHT? WELL, COMPLIANCE MEANING THAT OUR VARIANCE IS STILL GONNA BE FOR REQUESTING A SIX FOOT BUILDING LINE MM-HMM .

AND SO WITH THAT, UM, THE STAFF FEELS COMFORTABLE IN, IN APPROVING IT, IN THAT, IN THAT MANNER WITHOUT THE GARAGE DOOR.

SO.

OKAY.

AND SO ONE OF THE MAJOR CHANGES WAS YOU WERE GONNA WIDEN THE DRIVE AND MAKE A FORTH BAY AND THAT IS NOT HAPPENING ANY LONGER? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR.

CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY.

SO THAT IN MY MIND IS THE MAJOR CHANGE HERE THAT BROUGHT IT ALL INTO COMPLIANCE AND IS APPROVABLE TODAY? YES, SIR.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

AND THE SIX FOOT BUILDING LINE IS WHAT IS EXISTING, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU GUYS ARE GOING IN AND BUILDING SOMETHING? NO, THERE'S A SIX FOOT DEED RESTRICTED BUILDING LINE, WHICH THE HOME IS CURRENTLY BUILT AT AND THE GARAGE IS BUILT AT ALSO.

OKAY.

THERE IS A CENTER POINT, UM, VERTICAL, UM, UH, STRUCTURE THERE, AND THAT IS ON THE, WHAT WE REFER TO AS A SAFETY BUFFER, UH, ALONG THE STREETS' EDGE.

MM-HMM .

SO IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK, SO I DON'T HAVE THAT EXACT MEASUREMENT, BUT IT WOULD, IT MIGHT BE, BUT AGAIN, I MEAN THEY COMMENTED ON IT, SO WE'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.

I MAY HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THE PLANS.

I MEAN, THEIR COMMENT IS STILL VALID AND I MAY HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THE PLANS.

SO IF YOU'RE NOT ENCROACHING ANYMORE INTO IT, THEN IT IS YES MA'AM.

WE ARE NOT ENCROACHING ANYMORE THAN WHAT'S CURRENTLY THERE.

GREAT.

THANK YOU.

UH, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? NO.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OKAY, SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 80.

OH, THERE'S ONE OTHER SPEAKER SIGNED.

BUT JUST FOR QUESTIONS MS. CASEY, DID YOU WANNA MAKE ANY COMMENTS? I JUST WANNA THANK THE COMMISSION, UH, CRYSTAL CASEY, SORRY.

I JUST WANNA THANK THE COMMISSION AND STAFF FOR WORKING WITH US.

IT'S BEEN KIND OF A LONG PROCESS AND I'M JUST GRATEFUL FOR EVERYBODY TO WORK WITH US AND THE HOMEOWNER.

AND HE JUST WANTS TO BRING BACK TO LIFE A 1930S MONTROSE BUILDING AND TURN IT INTO HI A HOME FOR HIS FAMILY.

HE'S A TEACHER AT U OF H AND ST.

THOMAS AND OUR PROFESSOR AND WANTS TO BE CLOSE.

AND I JUST THINK HE'S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING REALLY GOOD BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

HE HASN'T DONE A TON OF IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANNA PUT MONEY INTO IT IF HE COULDN'T DO WHAT HE'S GONNA DO NOW.

SO,

[00:40:01]

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT CAME FROM, BUT WE HAVE BEEN VERY HONEST AND, UH, HE JUST WANTS TO REVIVE A REALLY COOL OLD MANTRA STRUCTURE.

SO, AND THANK YOU AGAIN ALL OF YOU FOR, FOR HOW, UH, HOW HELPFUL YOU'VE BEEN THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A GENERAL PLAN OF APPROXIMATELY 660 ACRES FOR PREDOMINANTLY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO EXCEED MAXIMUM INTERSECTION SPACING ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARY.

STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.

THE VARIANCE BEING REQUESTED IS TO EXCEED INTERSECTION SPACING ALONG THE WESTERN GP BOUNDARY BETWEEN LONESOME PINE ROAD AND THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY.

JUNIPER LANE INTERSECTS ONLY A PORTION OF THE NORTHWESTERN MOST CORNER OF THE SITE AND WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE EXTENDED FOR THE PORTION THAT IS.

THIS PROPERTY HAS WITHIN ITS CONTROL WITH THE EXTENSION OF JUNIPER LANE BY THIS SITE AND THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH.

THE INTERSECTION SPACING IS APPROXIMATELY 1800 FEET.

THE PROPERTIES ABUTTING THE WESTERN BOUNDARY ARE FROM AN UNRECORDED SUBDIVISION MOSSY OAK SECTION TWO, WHICH IS ENTIRELY DEVELOPED AS RESIDENTIAL TRACKS REQUIRING A STREET BETWEEN LONESOME PINE ROAD AND JUNIPER LANE IS NOT SUN PUBLIC POLICY AS IT IS UNLIKELY TO BE EXTENDED.

ITEM 83.

ITEM 83 IS E STREET AT CARBY.

THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN HOUSTON'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION IN HARRIS COUNTY, WEST OF THE HARDY TOLL ROAD SOUTH OF GULF BANK ROAD AND NORTH OF LITTLE YORK ROAD.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 1 24 ACRE UNRESTRICTED RESERVE AND REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO EXCEED INTERSECTION SPACING BY NOT REQUIRING BOTH A NORTH, SOUTH, AND EAST WEST PUBLIC STREET STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.

THE SITE IS A REPL FROM TWO SUBDIVISIONS DRFR MARTIN SUBDIVISION RECORDED IN 1914 AND RU ACRES RECORDED IN 1936.

THE EXISTING INTERSECTION SPACING ALONG MITCHELL ROAD BETWEEN AIRLINE DRIVE AND FIELD WORTH DRIVE IS APPROXIMATELY 4,800 FEET AND ALONG CARBY ROAD BETWEEN AIRLINE DRIVE AND FOX RIDGE DRIVE IS APPROXIMATELY 4,500 FEET.

STRICT INTERPRETATION OF THE ORDINANCE WOULD REQUIRE PUBLIC STREET CONNECTIONS AT LEAST EVERY 1400 FEET.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING NOT TO PROVIDE A NORTH SOUTH PUBLIC STREET THROUGH THE SITE.

SOUTH OF CARBY ROAD IS THE CITY OF HOUSTON'S MELROSE PARK AND GOLF COURSE,

[00:45:01]

UM, NO STREETS CROSSED THE EXON PIPELINE FEE STRIP.

ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES WEST OF THE SITE COULD BE CONSIDERED DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY OF PROPOSED LAND USES IN THE FUTURE.

LIKEWISE, THERE ARE EXISTING CONSTRAINTS AT MITCHELL ROAD.

A HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT CHANNEL CROSSES MITCHELL ROAD WITH BRIDGE WORK AND A HEAD WALL THERE MAY MAKING AN ALIGNMENT OF THE MCCLOSKEY STREET RIGHT OF WAY TO THE NORTH, NOT FEASIBLE.

THE INTERSECTION SPACING BETWEEN MITCHELL ROAD AND CARBY ROAD IS APPROXIMATELY 1800 FEET, WHICH IS A 28% DEVIATION OF THE STANDARD.

THERE ARE TWO SUB STREETS, SUNNY DRIVE, AND TINA LANE, EAST AND WEST OF THE SITE THAT COULD PROVIDE FOR FUTURE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE HARDY TOLL ROAD AND AIRLINE DRIVE.

HOWEVER, MULTIPLE NARROW TRACKS, MANY OF WHICH ARE ALREADY DEVELOPED AS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES ON LARGE ACRE TRACKS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEDICATE RIGHT OF WAY TO MAKE THIS CONNECTION.
