WHEN WE OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING, THE CHAIR WILL ASK IF THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT AT THAT TIME.
WE'LL ASK THAT THEY USE THE RAISE HAND FUNCTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN TO RAISE THEIR HAND TO INDICATE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

[6. Public Comment]
OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT WERE RECEIVED AT 11:00 AM TODAY.CATHERINE, DID WE RECEIVE ANY MORE COMMENTS AFTER THAT?
IF THE CASE MANAGER HAVE RECEIVED ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, THEY'LL REPORT THAT DURING THEIR CASE.
TO THE PUBLIC WHO MADE THESE COMMENTS, JUST SAYING THAT ALL THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE READ THEM AND GIVEN THEM THE APPROPRIATE CONSIDERATION PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT OUR WORKSHOP STARTED AT 2:30 TODAY.
OUR FIRST ITEM IS 2120 BF-111,
[7.A. 20BF-111 (Open Space Reserve 5 And TR 37-1, Sandhill Shores Subdivision)]
AND THAT IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON OPEN SPACE RESERVE FIVE POTENTIAL FOR SUB-DIVISION.STAFF WILL ANNOUNCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION BEFORE STAFF GET THEIR REPORT.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ONLY AND NO ACTION FROM PLANNING COMMISSION IS NEEDED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING.
FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC HEARING, STAFF WILL ENSURE THAT THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY WILL CONFORM TO THE CITY PROTECTION AND BEACH ACCESS PLAN AND ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM THE GLL BEFORE ISSUING THE PERMIT.. PLANNING COMMISSIONS WILL NOT TAKE A VOTE ON THIS ITEM.
THANK YOU. STAFF, ARE WE READY?
[00:05:02]
I GUESS JUST TO SUMMARIZE WHAT THE CHAIRPERSON SAID, THIS IS A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A DISTRICT PATHWAY FOR PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE BEACH IN A [INAUDIBLE] DEDICATED TO THAT FIRST PURPOSE.AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER AT THE WORKSHOP PRIOR TO THIS PUBLIC MEETING, THE CITY'S DO PROTECTION WILL BE CHECKED AS PER CERTAIN TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES THAT ARE DESIGNATED FOR CITY STAFF TO REVIEW AND ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF PERMITS FOR AND OTHERS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES.
SINCE THE TIME OUR PLAN WAS LAUNCHED, OPERATIVELY DRAFTED AND UPDATED, GENERALLY THE OFFICE REQUIRE THAT PROJECTS REQUIRE MITIGATION, A PUBLIC HEARING IS REQUIRED.
EVEN THOUGH THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY IS SOMETHING THAT IS A CERTIFICATE OF PERMIT THAT CITY STAFF WILL ISSUE THE AUTHORIZATION FOR, WE'RE STILL EXPECTED FOR THE STATE TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PROCESS.
THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU TODAY.
AGAIN, THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TOO COMMONLY OR TOO FREQUENTLY, I THINK THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AROUND 2019 FOR A DRIVEWAY ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THEY COMPLETE THE APPLICATION, WE NEED TO SUBMIT THAT TO THE GENERAL LINE OFFICE FOR THEIR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION AND HAS RECEIVED A COMMON LETTER BACK TO LET YOU KNOW WHEN OFFICE [NOISE] WE'LL CALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT.
WE BELIEVE THE APPLICATION CAN BE ISSUED, THE CERTIFICATE PERMIT CAN BE ISSUED FOR THIS PROJECT.
AS CHAIRPERSON EDWARD SAID, NO ACTION IS NEEDED FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING.
FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC HEARING, STAFF WILL ENSURE THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES WERE PERFORMED.
IF THE CITY'S DO PROTECTION REJECT THIS PLAN AS WELL AS [INAUDIBLE] GENERAL OFFICE.
THAT'S OUR [INAUDIBLE] FOR THIS ONE.
>> OKAY. GREAT. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON [NOISE] THIS CASE, CASE 20BF-111 AT 03:40 PM.
>> THE APPLICANT IS MR. DOLGEN AND HE IS REGISTERED.
MR. DOLGEN, YOU'RE ABLE TO UNMUTE ON YOUR END AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION IF YOU WISH TO DO SO.
>> HI, BOB. ARE YOU THERE, BOB?
>> MR. DOLGEN, YOU'LL HAVE TO UNMUTE YOURSELF ON YOUR END, EITHER USING YOUR COMPUTER OR IF YOU'RE ON YOUR PHONE, YOU COULD TRY PRESSING STAR SIX TO UNMUTE.
MIGHT BE HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY, CATHERINE.
>> MR. DOLGEN, YOU MIGHT TRY SIGNING OUT AND SIGNING BACK IN AGAIN, AND SEE IF THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
>> CATHERINE, PLEASE SUGGEST MAYBE IF THERE IS OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT AND THEN COME BACK TO BOB.
>> FINDS OUT THAT WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON TAKING PUBLIC COMMENT BEFORE THE APPLICANT.
>> IT REALLY IS UP TO THE CHAIRPERSON.
I DON'T THINK IT GOING TO NECESSARILY MAKE DIFFERENCE IN THE LENGTH IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, I WOULD ASK THE APPLICANT, MAYBE HE CAN USE THE CHAT ROOM DEVICE OR THE Q&A.
THAT WORKED OUT A LITTLE BIT OF LANDMARK COMMISSION WHEN THAT APPLICANT WITH THEM A DIFFICULT TIME COMMUNICATING WITH US.
WE SAW THAT THEY WERE IN, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR ANYTHING THAT THE APPLICANT WAS SAYING.
>> THOUGH IF BOB YOU'RE THERE, CAN YOU AT LEAST HIT THE CHAT FEATURE AND TIED TO IT THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON GETTING AUDIO UP, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU, DON.
THEN IN PARTICULAR IT THEN WE ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE, SINCE IT'S A HEARING THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY WOULDN'T MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND HEAR FROM ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WE
[00:10:03]
HAVE ON THIS AS WE WAIT IF MR. DOLDGEN CAN GET IN.AGAIN, BOB, WHAT CATHERINE COULD GET FIT IN, MAYBE SIGNING OUT AND THEN SIGNING BACK-END WORK.
ANYTHING COULD GET THE CHAT FEATURE AND LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU'RE A LINK WORKING ON IT FULLY.
CATHERINE LET'S GO AHEAD AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTED TO SPEAK ON IT? DO WE HAVE ANY RAISED HAND?
>> WE DO HAVE ONE RAISED HERE.
NOW, THIS REMINDS THE REST OF THE ATTENDEES IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS CASE.
ALSO, USE THE RAISE HAND FUNCTION, AND YOU'LL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES.
WE'LL START WITH MR. MEAL IN THE FLUORINE.
>> THANK YOU. WELCOMES SIR, YOU MAY START NOW.
>> THANK YOU CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME OKAY?
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A MINUTE TO JUST SAY A FEW WORDS.
MY NAME IS NEAL MCCOY AND I AM AN ATTORNEY AND I REPRESENT FAHRENHEIT 89, LLC, THE OWNER OF LUCK 37, AND FANS, THOSE SHORT SUBDIVISION.
WE SUBMITTED SOME PUBLIC COMMENT THIS MORNING THAT INCLUDED A LETTER FROM THE GENTLEMAN NAME [INAUDIBLE] BUT WE WILL SEE A PROFESSOR AT THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY IN GALVESTON.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE MATERIALS FORCED BY THE COMMISSION, I DON'T WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME REGURGITATING EVERYTHING THAT MR [INAUDIBLE] SAID OTHER THAN THIS STRAP THAT THE ADJOINING LAND OF URGENT LEARN ABOUT BOTH THE DESIGNATION OF THIS PARTICULAR PATHWAY AS WELL AS THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THE APPLICATION.
>> ARE WE THERE MR. MACLAURIN? CATHERINE, ANOTHER 1-3 MINUTES.
>> NOW IT STILL SHOWS THAT HE'S ON HIS MICROPHONE IS UNMUTED.
>> MR. MACLAURIN WE HAVE LOST YOU UNTIL YOU CAN GET YOUR AUDIO BACK OUT. I'VE GOT TO HEAR.
>> I'M SO SORRY. I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM THAT THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS FROM INTERFAITH WOULD THEN MAKE THE RIGHT REALLY DEMONSTRATES THAT THE LANDOWNER AND THE OWNER OF MOCKERY FEMININE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT BENEATH THEIR MINISTER SEGMENTS, IDENTIFIED THAT IT MAY CAUSE HARM TO THE LOCK BIRDIES BETTER THAN TO THE HOME.
TYPICALLY WITH REGARD TO WEAKENING ITSELF AND THE CONSTRUCTION PATHWAY THAT EVENTUALLY INCREASING IN THE BREADTH OF DRAINAGE PROBLEM ON TO LOT 37 AND THAT'S REALLY ALL I WANTED TO HAVE.
ONE MAKES REGARD WITH FREQUENCY MATERIAL, BUT I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
>> CERTAINLY THIRD, WE HAVE ALL RECEIVED THAT.
WE'VE GOT ALL OF THE MATERIAL AROUND TODAY.
COMMISSIONERS HAVE A CHANCE TO READ THROUGH THEM.
THEY WILL BECOME PART OF OUR PUBLIC RECORD, ALL OF THEM THAT WAY I'M A PUBLIC HEARING, AND NO VOTE IS REQUIRED BY THE COMMISSION.

>> YEAH, BUT I DIDN'T SEE HIM RESPOND ON THE CHAT FEATURE, DONNA.
>> YEAH. I WAS WONDERING IT IS CATHERINE AND YOU MUTED HIM LIVE WITH THAT ON.
>> NO, I CAN'T IT'S ON YOUR SIDE.

LET'S CALL ON MS. GARCIA. MS. GARCIA.
>> OKAY. GOOD. I AM UNAWARE OF AND NOT READ ANY LEATHER FROM MR. MACLAURIN, THOUGH, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO RESPOND TO ANY OF IT.
I DO KNOW THAT EVALUATIONS WERE DONE BY THE ASSOCIATION IN MAKING APPLICATIONS FOR THE FROUDE HERMIT.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT ALMOST THREE YEARS.
[00:15:02]
THOUGH. I THINK THAT EVERY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RAISED BY THE JELLO AND BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE ENVIRONMENT, BY HENRY HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY OUR ORGANIZATION TO TRY TO MAKES SURE THAT WE COMPLY WITH ALL RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR HAVING THE PUBLIC HAVE ACCESS TO THE BEACH.>> OKAY. MY ONLY COMMENT WOULD BE JUST THAT MY MEDIATOR HERE AND GET NOT A VOTING MEMBER OF THE BODY OF THIS IONIC MAYBE YOU, AND JUST REACH OUT TO YOUR NEIGHBOR AND STILL BUT ANY CONCERNS CAN BE ALIGNED.
>> WELL, WE'VE DONE THAT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASION, AND OF COURSE WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
WE'VE BEEN OPEN FEED THAT GUIDANCE WITH THEM, BUT WE'VE HAD MEETING OF THE BOARD OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS AND EACH TIME THE BOOT HAS BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY TO PLAY THE PATHWAY WHERE IT IS FOR BOTH TO BE PLACED.

LIKE MS. GARCIA SAID, I'LL JUST TACKLE HER IN SAYING THAT THE ASSOCIATION HAS TAKEN PAINSTAKING EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT THIS IS DONE IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE WITH THE LEAST ADVERSE EFFECTS.
AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO GET IN TOO MANY DETAILS BECAUSE I THINK YOU PROBABLY GOT ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED.
BUT I DID WANT TO MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM.
I KNOW ON BEHALF OF MR. DOLGEN WHO CAN'T BE HEARD, UNFORTUNATELY, SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU. WANTED TO SAY THAT I HAVE NOT A BOB DOLGEN FOR ALMOST AS LONG AS I'VE KNOWN MY HUSBAND AND WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR 27TH ANNIVERSARY ON SATURDAY.
IF THERE'S ONE PERSON I KNOW HE DOESN'T LIKE TO BE MUTED, IT WOULD BE BOB DOLGEN [LAUGHTER].
DID WE HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS MATTER?
>> I SEE NO OTHER SPEAKERS WHO HAVE RAISED THEIR HANDS.
>> THANK YOU. IN THAT CASE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
THAT CASE 21, 20B-111 AT 3:51 PM, NO ACTION IS REQUIRED OF THE COMMISSION ON THIS ITEM, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM.
WE WILL NOW TO 21P- 022, PLEASE.
[8.A.1. 21P-022 (1728 Seawall)]
>> ALL RIGHT, 21P-022 JASON OF 1728 SEAWALL REQUESTS FOR ABANDONMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 43 LINEAR FOOT OF MID BLOCK ALLAY BUT KNOWS THE SINCE THAT THREE RETURN IN FAVOR AND THEY'RE ALSO LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM OUTSIDE THE AREA WHICH WE DIDN'T NEED ANY SINCE CATHERINE'S UPDATE.
THAT SHOULD BE TODAY'S INFORMATION.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE ABANDONMENT 43- LINEAR FEET OF THIS BLOCK ALLEY, RIGHT-OF-WAY, JASON TO 1728 SEAWALL, SO IT WOULD BE JUST TO THE NORTH OF THAT PROPERTY.
THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE BEING REQUESTED, THEY HAVE 60 SQUARE FOOT, BUT APPROXIMATELY 20FT WIDE 43-FOOT LONG, IF THE ABANDONMENT IS APPROVED THE 60 SQUARE FOOT SECTION WILL BE PURCHASED BY THE APPLICANT.
PLAN FOR USE OF THAT FOR STORAGE.
JASON'S NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH HAS AGREED TO WAIVE THEIR CLAIM TO THE NORTH HALF THE ALLEY IN REGARDS TO A PIXEL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT FUNDS THE ABANDONMENT WILL NOT IMPACT THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.
THE ALLEY IS A REMAINDER OF A PREVIOUSLY ABANDONED DRIVE AWAY AND CURRENTLY SERVES NO ROLE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM NOR IS THERE ANY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AT ALL.
IN REGARDS TO IMPACTS ON PUBLIC UTILITIES OF SERVICE, PEOPLE USE REQUEST STREET ALLEY, THE CLOSURE APPLICATION BE SUBMITTED WITH ANY RIGHT OF WAY OF THE ABANDONMENT THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL OF THEM.
IF THERE ARE ANY OBJECTIONS FROM SEAWALL, THE APPLICANT WILL KNOW IF THE RESULTING OBJECTION WAS [INAUDIBLE] POINT PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF THE ABANDONMENT.
THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THIS PROCESS IS UNDERWAY.
PUBLIC WORKS AND THEN TEXAS GAS AND BOTH INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE EXISTING UTILITIES IN THIS ALLEY, AND SPECIFICALLY [INAUDIBLE] A FIXERS WIRE-LINE AND TWO-INCH GAS LINE SHOWING THAT COULD BE.
[00:20:02]
PUBLIC DEPARTMENT ALSO KNOW THAT ACCESS TO THE ALLEY WAS DESIRABLE FOR FIRE SAFETY REASONS IF NEEDED.SINCE WE'VE GOTTEN THIS REQUEST AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR THE REQUEST ON MAY 27TH, 2021, BECAUSE THE PROPOSED USE DOES NOT INCLUDE EXPANDING THE EXISTING STRUCTURE, JUST BE FOR STORAGE.
DEFINITELY, THIS WILL BE ABANDONMENT PERMISSIBLE SO LONG AS THE ENTIRE AREA TO BE ABANDONED, IS PLANTED IN DEDICATING UTILITY AND ACCESSING.
NOW THIS WILL PREVENT ANY PERMANENT OBSTRUCTIONS ON THE UTILITY LINES OR EMERGENCY SERVICES AS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS PROHIBIT SUCH EXPANSION OR BUILDING INTO PLANNING EASEMENT OF THE SORT.
THEREFORE, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL REQUEST WITH THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIC LIMITATION.
NUMBER 1, THE APPLICANT SHALL REPLAN THE ABANDONMENT RIGHT OF WAY, NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 27TH, 2021.
TWO, THE APPLICANTS SHALL NOTIFY AND STATE THE EVIDENCE THAT THE OBJECTIONS FROM [INAUDIBLE] POINT ENERGY RESOLVE THE OBJECTION FOR [INAUDIBLE] ENERGY.
THREE, EMERGENCY ACCESS SHALL BE PROVIDED ALL TIMES.
FOUR, THE ALLEY SHALL BE KNOWN AS THE DEDICATED UTILITY EASEMENT ON THE REPLAN DOCUMENT AND IT SHALL INCLUDE THE ENTIRETY OF THE ABANDONED ALLEY OR TO ENSURE NO NEW CONSTRUCTION OCCURS IN THIS AREA TO PROTECT EXISTING UNDERGROUND UTILITIES TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THOSE PLUS GENERATED [INAUDIBLE] WE HAVE SOME PHOTOS.
THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY PRODUCES THE VERY SMALL PIECES OF THE REMAINDER ALLEY WAS BEHIND THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
THIS IS JUST A LITTLE GRAPHIC SHOWING APPROXIMATELY WHERE THE ALLEY IS IN RELATION TO BUILDINGS AND SHOWING THE UTILITY LINES THAT GO THROUGH THERE.
ALSO A PHOTO OF THE ALLEY ITSELF.
YOU CAN SEE IT'S NOT VERY DEEP AT ALL, IT'S A DEAD-END AND THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES STRUCTURES. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH AND THE EAST, WRAPS AROUND SIDES OF THE ALLEY PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH, WHICH IS THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY, AND THE PROPERTY TO WEST ACROSS THE 18TH STREET AND THIS CONCLUDES THAT REPORT.
>> THANK YOU, DANIEL. COMMISSIONERS, DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? COMMISSIONER HOLLOWAY.
>> ON A STANDARD CONDITION EIGHT, THERE IS A CLAUSE, THE VERY LAST CLAUSE AND THAT STANDARD CONDITIONS SAYS FOR PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THIS PORTION OF PROPERTY WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY, CONSIDERING THAT THIS WILL BE A UTILITY EASEMENT? WOULD YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OUR TAKING THAT CLAUSE OUT OF THE STANDARD CONDITION?
IF YOU SO DESIRE, THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THEY DON'T HAVE THE INTENTION TO DO THAT.
AGAIN, THAT'S ONE OF THE PLAIN LANGUAGE AS WE TYPICALLY PUT IT [OVERLAPPING].
>> RIGHT, BECAUSE TO ME, IT SOUNDS INCONSISTENT WITH THE SPECIFIC CONDITION NUMBER 4.
YEAH, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS.
>> CAROL, WILL YOUR CHANGE ON THAT BE JUST TO END IT WITH A PERIOD AT THE [OVERLAPPING].
>> THEN DESTROYING EVERYTHING AFTER THAT?
>> IF I'M ALLOWED TO MAKE A MOTION, THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION.
COMMISSIONERS, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE, WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
OPENING A PUBLIC HEARING ON 21P-022 AT 3:57 PM IS THE APPLICANT WITH US TODAY?
>> APPLICANTS REPRESENTATIVE ROBERT [INAUDIBLE] IS HERE AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK.
>> I SAW COUNCIL MEMBERS LISTOWSKI HAND UP THERE.
DOES HE WANT TO ASK THE QUESTION BEFORE I PROCEED?
>> I DIDN'T SEE IT. I APOLOGIZE.
>> THANKS. I'LL LET THE APPLICANT SPEAK AND IF I STILL HAVE A QUESTION I WILL ASK. THANK YOU.
>> AS DANIEL INDICATED, WE DON'T HAVE ANY INTENT TO BUILD ANYTHING ON THERE AND WE ARE EXPECTING OF HAVING THE WHOLE ALLEY AS THE UTILITY EASEMENT.
THE ONLY THING THAT WE'LL BE USING THE ALLEY FOR IS TO STORE SOME SURIS AND GOLF CARTS IN THE ALLEY OVERNIGHT.
AS WE'RE PRIMARILY A SURIS AND RENTAL OPERATION.
IT WOULD BE OUR INTENT TO FOOT UP OUR VERY ATTRACTIVE GATE,
[00:25:02]
WOODEN GATE THAT WOULD CLOSE OFF THE ALLEY TO BLOCK VIEW DOWN INTO THE ALLEY.THIS ALLEY HAS REALLY BECOME A GROWING ISSUE AS THE FREE BEACH PARKING ALONG SEAWALL BOULEVARD IN FRONT OF THE SHOP AND THE BEACH ACCESS PARKING ALONG THE 18TH STREET WAS RENTED THE TWO SEASONS AGO.
WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS JUST IN AN INCREASED AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IN THE AREA.
WE HAD POLICE COME ONE OF FEW SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR SECURITY ISSUES TO BOTH THE BUILDINGS.
UNFORTUNATELY, ALSO AS THE HOMELESS POPULATION HAS CONTINUED, THE BALLOON AND NOW ITS BECOME A BIT OF A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE GO TO SEEK SHELTER, WHICH HAS CAUSED SOME SECURITY ISSUES.
WE'VE HAD THE BUILDING TWO ATTEMPTS TO BREAK INTO THE BUILDING WHERE INDIVIDUALS WERE IN THE ALLEY TRYING TO PRY OPEN A BACK DOOR AND IT REALLY PROVIDES THEM WITH A LOT OF COVER BACK IN THERE.
WE HAVE INSTALLED SECURITY LIGHTING BACK IN THERE TO TRY TO ENHANCE THE SECURITY.
THE OTHER THING UNFORTUNATELY I HATE TO BRING UP, BUT IT BECOMES A PUBLIC TOILET AND IT'S A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WILL GO BACK IN THERE ON MORE THAN ONE A DAY.
I'VE HAD PEOPLE COME INTO THE SHOP, TO COMPLAIN ABOUT PUBLIC URINATION IN THE ALLEY.
WE'VE GONE BACK INTO THE ALLEY, LOOKING AFTER AS WE HAVE FROM TIME TO TIME TO FIND HUMAN WASTE BACK IN THE ALLEY.
IT REALLY IS IN THE INTERESTS AND THE NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET REALLY ARE AFFECTED BY THIS AS MUCH AS ANYTHING THAT THEY SIT ON A PORCH AND LOOK OUT AT THE ALLEY AND THEY GET TO SEE ALL THAT GOES ON IN THE ALLEY AS WELL.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO CLOSE IT OFF.
WE HAVE NO PROBLEM PUTTING A FIRE DEPARTMENT LOCK ON IT SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE EASY ACCESS TO IT IF IT'S NECESSARY.
ALL THE VEHICLES THAT WOULD BE PUT IN THE ALLEY ARE ON WHEELS, SO THEY'RE PRETTY EASY TO GET OUT OF THERE IF IT WAS NECESSARY ARE IN A HURRY. THAT'S OUR INTENT.
>> OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
COMMISSIONER [INAUDIBLE] MIGHT HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT? SEEING NO HANDS UP.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS MATTER, CATHERINE?
>> I'LL ASK ANYBODY ON THE CALL IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING ON THIS CASE, USE THE RAISE YOUR HAND FUNCTION. SEEING NONE.
>> GREAT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT WE DID RECEIVE A PUBLIC COMMENT ON THAT.
THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US EARLIER IN THE DAY.
THAT WILL BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECORD THAT WAS WRITTEN IN PUBLIC COMMENT, IF I DIDN'T MAKE THAT CLEAR.
SEEING NO MORE COMMENTS, NO QUESTIONS FOR THE AFRICAN, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 4:01.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON PAGE 21, P-022, COMMISSIONER HOLLOWAY.
>> CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT 21, P-022.
IT'S WRITTEN WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFICATION TO OUR STANDARD CONDITION A.
UPON PAYMENT OF THE PROPERTY AND EXECUTION OF THE DEED WITHOUT WARRANTY, A REPLOT OF THE PROPERTY SHALL BE COMPLETED WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF THE FILING OF THE DEED PERIOD.
>> I DO LIKE TO SECOND ON THAT?
DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION, COMMISSIONERS? SEEING NONE, THEN WE'LL ASK FOR A VOTE ON THIS PLEASE.
>> ALL IN FAVOR, THE MOTION PASSES.
WE WILL NOW PROCEED TO TAKE 21, P-023.
[8.B.1. 21P-023 (Adjacent To 1608 Church / Avenue F)]
>> THIS IS ADJACENT TO 1608 CHURCH.
IT'S A REQUEST FOR A LICENSE TO USE, CONSUMING 34 NOTICES WERE SENT THROUGH RETURN [INAUDIBLE] IN FAVOR.
THERE'S BEEN NO CHANGE FROM THE PUBLIC COMMENT REPORT THAT WAS SENT AT NOON.
NO OBJECTION FROM THE CITY DEPARTMENTS.
THE SUMMARY, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A PERMANENT LICENSE TO USE TO RETAIN THE EXISTING ACCESSORY DWELLING STRUCTURE AND ITS CURRENT CONFIGURATION
[00:30:02]
WHICH ENCROACHES A CITY ALLEY RIGHT-OF-WAY.THE SUBJECT ACCESSORY DWELLING STRUCTURE WAS LOCATED ON THE SITE SOMETIME BEFORE 1912, ACCORDING TO THE HISTORIC [INAUDIBLE] INSURANCE MAPS.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SURVEY PROVIDED, THE STRUCTURE ENCROACHES 6.3 FEET INTO THE ALLEY RIGHT-OF-WAY.
THE CURRENT OWNER PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IN MARCH OF 2021, AND SEEKS A LICENSE TO USE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.
WHEN LOCATED WITHIN A HISTORIC DISTRICT, THE LANDMARK COMMISSION REVIEWS THE REQUEST AND PROVIDES A RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
THE CITY COUNCIL REVIEWED ON MAY 3RD, AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS THE FINAL DECISION AUTHORITY FOR LGU REQUESTS.
HOWEVER, SHOULD THE APPLICANT BE AGREED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION, AND IF YOU [INAUDIBLE] CITY COUNCIL.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS, STAFF RECOMMENDS CASE 21, P-023 REQUESTS REGARDING THE LICENSE TO USE IF WE APPROVED SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.
ONE, THE APPLICANT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY CAUSED BY THE MAINTENANCE OF THE EXISTING ACCESSORIES DWELLING STRUCTURE AND SHOULD THE RIGHT-OF-WAY BE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, THE APPLICANT SHALL REPAIR THE AREA.
TWO, THE LICENSEE SHALL ENSURE THAT THE FUTURE CONSTRUCTION OR IMPROVEMENTS DO NOT INCREASE THE DEGREE OF ENCROACHMENT IN ANYWAY.
I HAD TO TURN IT THROUGH [INAUDIBLE] PICTURES.
THIS IS THE FRONT HOUSE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE REAR STRUCTURE, SO THIS IS THE STRUCTURE WHERE THERE IS AN ENCROACHMENT.
THIS IS A PICTURE SHOWING THE ENCROACHMENT ALONG THE ALLEY.
THEN WE HAVE THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, AND WEST.
>> THANK YOU, CATHERINE. WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE READ THAT IN MARGIN TO BE ALERT, AND IF WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR AIR CONDITIONER IS DOWN OR SOMETHING? OR CATHERINE, THE WAY YOU FITTING ALL WHERE YOU WAVE YOUR HAND [INAUDIBLE] , PLEASE.
[LAUGHTER] THANK YOU FOR THAT, CATHERINE.
DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? COMMISSIONER HOLLOWAY?
>> I'M LOOKING AT ONE OF THE PHOTOS THAT WERE PRESENTED AS PART OF THE CASE REPORT.
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THERE'S THE UTILITY LINE OR UTILITY POLE THAT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY MUCH IN LINE WITH THE ENCROACHMENT AS WELL.
COULD WE GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT AGAIN, PLEASE?
>> THAT'S IT. CATHERINE, YOU'VE HAD AN ILLUSION OR DO YOU THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IN LINE WITH THE ENCROACHMENT?
>> IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN LINE WITH IT.
LET ME LOOK AND SEE IF WE GOT ANY RESPONSES FROM CENTERPOINT ENERGY.
>> [INAUDIBLE]. I'M OUT OF ORDER HERE.
[LAUGHTER] I CAN TALK ABOUT IT IN DISCUSSION.
>> WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS FROM CENTERPOINT ENERGY.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, COMMISSIONERS? SEEING NONE, I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 21, P-023, QUARTER 6:00 PM.
IS THE APPLICANT WITH US TODAY?
>> THE APPLICANT IS REGISTERED.
MR. PORTRAY, ENABLED YOU TO SPEAK AND YOU NEED TO UNMUTE ON YOUR END.
>> ARE YOU THERE? MR. PORTRAY, ARE YOU HERE?
>> MR. PORTRAY, YOU NEED TO UNMUTE ON YOUR END EITHER ON YOUR COMPUTER.
OR IF YOU'RE ON YOUR TELEPHONE, YOU CAN TRY PRESSING "STAR SIX" TO UNMUTE.
>> ARE YOU THERE? WE CAN HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.
>> APOLOGIES. I HAD TO HOP OUT OF MY VEHICLE.
MY WIFE IS ON ANOTHER CALL, AND THEN I FIGURE OUT WE'RE ON ZOOM [INAUDIBLE] AFTER PUMPING MY PHONE.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME. [NOISE] BASICALLY, WE BUY A LARGER NUMBER OF HOMES, I PROPOSE.
AS SUCH, WE'VE COME ACROSS A FEW OF THESE SITUATIONS WHERE OLDER HOMES
[00:35:02]
HAVE BEEN OVER PROPERTY LINES BEFORE PROPERTY LINES WERE THERE.THAT WOULD BE A BETTER QUESTION FOR A SURVEYOR.
WE HAVE COME ACROSS A LOT OF THESE RECENTLY, AND IT HASN'T STOPPED US FROM PURCHASING, WHERE HOMES ARE [INAUDIBLE].
[NOISE] SORRY ABOUT THAT. I THREW UP.
IN SOME OF THESE SITUATIONS AS IN THIS ONE, THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN IN THEIR PRESENT LOCATION FOR MANY YEARS, IF NOT, A 100 OR MORE.
LIKE I SAID, IT HASN'T RESTRICTED US FROM MAKING THE PURCHASE.
BUT IT DOES BECOME PROBLEMATIC SOMETIMES WITH MORTGAGES ON THE SALE SIDE, AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WITHOUT SOME PERMANENT LICENSE TO USE [INAUDIBLE] SIGNIFICANT.
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE. WE'VE DONE A FEW RECENTLY, AND THIS HAPPENED TO BE ANOTHER ONE.
I DON'T THINK FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IT'S PROBLEMATIC IN THE ALLEY RIGHT-OF-WAY.
BUT IT IS PROBLEMATIC FROM THE FUTURE SALE OF THE HOME OR WHATEVER.
[INAUDIBLE] WOULD MAYBE REQUIRE DOCUMENTATION FROM YOU-ALL.
>> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONAIRES, DOES ANYONE HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT? I SEE NO QUESTIONS.
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GETTING OFF EASY.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE RECEIVED THREE WRITTEN NOTIFICATIONS PRIOR TO 11:00 AM TODAY, ALL IN FAVOR OF THIS PERMANENT LGU.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER PEOPLE TO COMMENT ON IT, CATHERINE?
>> ASK ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SIGNED IN TO USE THE RAISE YOUR HAND FUNCTION IF YOU LIKE TO SPEAK.
WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 21P-023 AT 4:11 PM, AND I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE CASE. VICE-CHAIR BROWN.
>> WE RE-APPROVE 21P-023 SET FOR RECOMMENDATION.
>> I'LL SECOND. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION, COMMISSIONERS? I'LL JUST SAY THAT I DROVE THAT ALLEY AND PASSED THROUGH WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM.
THIS BUILDING IS IN LINE WITH THE UTILITY POLL.
THERE'S ANOTHER HOUSE JUST DOWN THE BLOCK, AND A STAIRWAY, THAT COMES DOWN THE SAME AMOUNT, SO THE ALLEYWAY IS ABSOLUTELY PASSABLE.
TO YOUR QUESTION, SORRY, EARLIER, CAROL.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS CASE? ALL RIGHT, I SEE NUMBERS CALLED UP.
>> ALL IN FAVOR, THE MOTION PASSES.
>> THANK YOU [OVERLAPPING] NEXT,
[8.C.1. 21ZA-001]
WE HAVE TAX AMENDMENT 21ZA-001.>> THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A TAX AMENDMENT TO THE GALVESTON LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, ARTICLE 3, URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD ADDENDUM TO MODIFY THE LIST OF FORMER STORES, PRIMITIVE STRUCTURES IN TECHNO PARK.
THE UN DISTRICT IS INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE THE RANGE AND PATTERN OF RESIDENTIAL USES, FOUND IN THE CITY'S OLDEST ESTABLISHED URBAN POOR NEIGHBORHOODS.
TOGETHER WITH LIMITED NON-RESIDENTIAL USES SUCH AS PORTER STORES, THAT BENEFIT NEARBY RESIDENCE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SETTING CONDUCIVE TO WALKING AND BIKING AS MUCH AS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION.

THE APPLICANT'S JUSTIFICATION AND PROPOSED USE ARE, THE PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT AS A COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE, AND IT'S BEEN USED FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS FOR SKIPPY'S CORNER STORE.
I'D LIKE TO RECREATE A SIMILAR VINTAGE APPEARANCE FOR A LICENSED MECHANICAL SHOP.
THE CELL DOWN LEAVING ALONG WITH THERAPY, ESSENTIAL OILS, AND [INAUDIBLE] SEPARATE SEARCHES DETERMINE THAT THE BUILDING WAS BUILT PRIOR TO 1947, AND WAS UTILIZED AS COMMERCIAL.
[NOISE] SANBORN MAP INSURANCE DOCUMENTATION WAS INCLUDED AS ATTACHMENT C. PLEASE, NOTE THE CRITERIA FOR TAX AMENDMENTS AND CONSIDERATION FOR TAX AMENDMENTS IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.
OTHER REVIEWS THE CITY COUNCIL HAS THE FINAL DECISION-MAKING AUTHORITY ON THIS REQUEST.
IT WILL BE REVIEWED AT THEIR MAY 27TH MEETING.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS CONSTRUCTED AND USED FOR COMMERCIAL USES, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST AS SUBMITTED, AND WE HAVE SOME PICTURES.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ALONG AVENUE R, AND ANOTHER VIEW ALONG 29TH STREET.
HERE IN THE CLIP FROM THE SANBORN INSURANCE MAP RECORD, INDICATES THAT IT WAS CONSTRUCTED AS A STORE.
THEN THIS IS THE PROPOSED TAX AMENDMENT, ADDING THE PROPERTY INTO THE LIST OF PERMITTED LOCATIONS FOR COMMERCIAL USES, AND THAT CONCLUDES THAT REPORT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CATHERINE.
