MONTALVAN 22 P DASHES ZERO 2930 201 AND 3223 57TH STREET REQUESTED A REPLY TO LOTS INTO FOUR LOTS. THERE WERE 18 PUBLIC NOTICES SENT NO OBJECTIONS FROM CITY DEPARTMENTS.[00:05:08]
NOTED ON PAGE TWO OF YOUR REPORT TO NOTE THAT PLAT APPROVAL CRITERIA ON THE SAME PAGE AS WELL AS THE PLAT APPROVAL CONDITIONS LISTED AS ONE BEFORE AND NOW WE HAVE SOME.THESE ARE THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES, NORTH AND WEST, AND THAT CONCLUDES THE REPORT.
WHAT'S THE MODIFIED? IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME CRITERIA AS THE UN ZONING DISTRICT.
BASICALLY THERE ARE A LOT LINES AND 2500 SQUARE FEET.
SO I LOOKED ON THE ZONING MAP WHEN I SAW MODIFIED TO SEE IF IT HAD THE UN DESIGNATION.
AND IT ISN'T IT DOESN'T DESIGNATE IT AS U.N..
SO EXPLAIN THAT TO ME, PLEASE.
DESIGNATION ESSENTIALLY LIKE U.N., BUT IT'S STILL R-1.
THE BASIC ZONING DISTRICT IS OUR ONE.
INTERNALLY, WE CALL IT MODIFIED BECAUSE OF THE MODIFICATIONS TO MIRROR THE U.N.
STANDARDS. HOWEVER, IT IS STILL THE R-1 ZONING DISTRICT.
SO HOW IS IT DESIGNATED AS MODIFIED? JUST I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN AN INTERNAL TERMINOLOGY AMONG STUFF THAT WE WE'VE COMMONLY USED NOW BECAUSE OF THE MODIFICATIONS THAT WERE MADE.
AND HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? HOW IS THAT? THE MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE THROUGH A TEXT AMENDMENT AND THEY'RE NOTED IN THE R ONE ADDENDUM IN ARTICLE THREE.
AND IS IT JUST FOR A DESIGNATED.
SO IT'S JUST CERTAIN IT'S THE CLASSIFICATION AND IT'S THOSE GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES.
YES. 25TH STREET OR 61ST SOUTH OF THE.
I'M SORRY, NORTH OF THE SEAWALL, SOUTH OF THE BROADWAY BOULEVARD.
AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OF THEM UNDER THAT, AREN'T THERE? CORRECT. ALL OF THAT GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARY, IT'S CONSIDERED QUOTE UNQUOTE, R ONE MODIFIED.
I SEE. I CAN SEE IT IN MY HEAD NOW.
IT'S THE 61ST BROADWAY TO SEAWALL.
OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YEAH. OKAY.
SO THE SIZE OF THESE NEW PLOTS, WHAT WILL BE IT'S GOING TO BE A ZERO LOT LINE BETWEEN ADJACENT HOMESTEADS. THEY'RE GOING TO BE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WITH ZERO PLOT LINE BETWEEN THEM.
YEAH. SO OUR REQUIREMENT FROM A PLANNING AND ZONING POSITION IS ZERO.
HOWEVER, YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT OUR REQUIREMENTS MAY NOT NECESSARILY ALIGN WITH THE BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH WILL REQUIRE OTHER RESTRICTIONS, SUCH AS FIRE RATING IF YOU'RE LESS THAN FIVE FEET.
SO THAT IS STILL IN EFFECT, THAT IS STILL APPLICABLE.
HOWEVER, WE'RE STRICTLY TALKING ZONING REQUIREMENTS.
BUT IF IT SOUNDS LIKE THE GOAL AND THE INTENT IS TO PUT.
OR. HOUSES THERE? YES, SIR. STILL MEETING OTHER CODE REQUIREMENTS.
VERY WELL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ADRIAN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANK YOU. WE WILL NOW OPEN AT THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 3:38 P.M..

I'LL I'LL HOLD OFF ON CLOSING THAT PUBLIC HEARING TO LET COUNCILMAN LISTOWSKI MAKE A COMMENT.
WE'RE GOING TO BE CONTINUING TO MAKE THAT DISCUSSION THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR.
AND SO HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU ON THESE ISSUES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE HAVE PUT ADDITIONAL ZONING REQUIREMENTS ON SOME NEIGHBORHOODS TO ELIMINATE SHORT TERM RENTALS.
THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO LOOK AT IN THIS AREA OF TOWN AS WELL.
SO, YOU KNOW, GET WITH ME AND WE'LL CONTINUE THAT DISCUSSION.
WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT AROUND THAT AREA.
AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY AND TAKING THE TIME.
AND WITH THAT, AT 3:42 P.M., WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 20 2P-029.
NO ACTION IS NEEDED TO BE TAKEN BY THE COMMISSION.
WELL, NOW HEAR CASE 20 2P-007 MR.
[7. 22P-007 (Adjacent to 828 Postoffice / Avenue E) Request for a Permanent License to place landscape planter walls, ADA ramp/egress stair, light fixtures, and parking garage foundation in the City street right-of-way. Adjacent properties are legally described as Lots 9 – 13, and part of Lot 9 and South half of adjacent alley, Block 488; and the North 95 Feet of Lot 1 (1-1), South 25 Feet of Lot 1 (1-2), and Lots 2 through 7, Block 428, in the City and County of Galveston, Texas.]
MONTALVAN. 22 P007 ADJACENT TO 828 POST OFFICE AVENUE E.THIS IS A LICENSEE WHOSE REQUEST THERE WERE 29 PUBLIC NOTICES SENT.
I'M SORRY, SIX OF THOSE WERE RETURNED.
ON NOVEMBER THE SECOND, 2021, THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED CASE 20 1P062A LICENSE TO USE TO ERECT A NON GRADE LEVEL PORTION OF A PARKING GARAGE STRUCTURE EXTENDING ACROSS POST OFFICE AVENUE E BETWEEN EIGHTH AND NINTH STREETS.
THIS DELTA REQUEST IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR SHRINERS HOSPITAL, WHICH INCLUDES THE RECONFIGURATION OF POST OFFICE AVENUE E AND OTHER RIGHT OF WAY IMPROVEMENTS. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A PERMANENT LICENSE TO USE THE RIGHT OF WAY ON POST OFFICE, EIGHTH STREET AND NINTH STREET TO WITH THE FOLLOWING BEING PROPOSED EGRESS, STAIRS AND RAMP, TYPICAL TREE UP, LIGHT CROSSWALK MARKERS, SIDEWALK LIGHTING, BOLLARDS, PLANTER WALLS AND GATES AS WELL AS GARAGE FOUNDATION PIERS.
I'M SORRY. AND NOW WE HAVE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE BETWEEN EIGHTH AND NINTH STREET ON POST OFFICE.
PLEASE. SUCH SUBJECT PROPERTIES BOTH IN THE SOUTH AND NORTH SIDE OF POST OFFICE, PLEASE.
[00:15:02]
THESE ARE THIS IS THIS IS A LOOK TO THE THE VICINITY LOOKING NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST.AND THAT CONCLUDES THAT SUPPORT.
QUESTIONS FOR STAFF VICE CHAIR BROWN.
WHAT RECONFIGURATIONS OF POST OFFICE ST ARE YOU REFERRING TO? IN PARTICULAR, I KNOW THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE WITH THIS PROJECT WE HAD THE L2 FOR THE SPACE OVER THE OVERHEAD OF POST OFFICE STREET ON THE WEST SIDE.
AND WE CAN SEE THAT DELINEATION BY THE DASH LINE ON THE ON THE DRAWING.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT THE ACTUAL STREET IS? ST ITSELF, THE STREET ITSELF.
OKAY. THE APPLICANT IS PRESIDENT CAN EXPAND ON THAT.
THERE WAS ONE IN OPPOSITION THAT SAID THAT FROM 1810 CHURCH.
AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE'S NOT ANYTHING GOING ON ON CHURCH STREET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET.
THAT IS CORRECT. THAT WOULD IMPAIR THAT ACCESS.
RIGHT. OKAY. AND THEN ANOTHER ONE.
PART OF THEIR ENCROACHMENT IS GOING TO BE BELOW GROUND WITH THE FOUNDATIONS.
HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY COMMENT FROM THE CITY UTILITIES ON ANY BURIED UTILITIES THAT WOULD THAT THE FOUNDATION ENCROACHMENTS WOULD INTERFERE WITH? NO, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMENTS FROM ANY PRIVATE OR CITY CITY DEPARTMENTS, AND THIS WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS AS WELL.
SO WE'LL KNOW MORE AT THAT TIME AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLICANT ABIDES BY WHATEVER THOSE.
OKAY. I'LL ASK THE APPLICANT ABOUT THAT A LITTLE LATER.
WELL, DOES THE CITY HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTAINING ANY OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, LIKE THE STREET LIGHTS, FOR INSTANCE, CITY OR ANY OTHER ENTITY? OR IS ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF EVERYTHING GOING TO BE ON SHRINERS HOSPITAL? YEAH, THAT THAT IS EVERYTHING THAT'S OCCURRING HERE.
IT'S IT'S THE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT OF WAY AS WELL.
REPAIRS THAT, YOU KNOW, IF REPAIRS WERE NEEDED, THAT WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OC.
I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR STAFF.
THANKS. OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COMMISSIONER FINKLEA.
HOWEVER, ON ONE OF THE DRAWINGS, THERE'S AN ENCROACHMENT OF A PLANTER WALL, PLANTER WALL TO EXHIBIT G, WHERE THE REMAINING DIMENSION FROM BACK OF CURB TO WHAT I ASSUME IS THE THE SIDEWALK IS DOWN TO FOUR FEET, NINE INCHES.
CAN YOU CLARIFY? OH, GREAT CATCH. THAT'S THE EXACT REASONING FOR THE COMMENT.
SO WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE BE ON WITH THE FIVE FOOT.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SO BASED UPON THAT, WILL THE DRAWINGS BE REVISED AND RESUBMITTED IF THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVES THE RECOMMENDATION OF CITY STAFF AND DURING THE PERMITTING PROCESS, WE WILL LOOK FOR THAT COMMENT TO BE ADDRESSED.
GREAT. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.
COMMISSIONER EDWARDS. COMMISSIONER EDWARDS, CAN YOU GIVE US LIKE FOR THE PEOPLE OUT HERE, I'M SURE, THAT WANT TO COMMENT WHAT LICENSE TO USE ME SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A CLEAR VISION FOR EVERYBODY HERE.
IT'S ESSENTIALLY AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE AN APPLICANT AND THE CITY WHERE THE CITY AUTHORIZES CERTAIN ITEMS TO BE PLACED IN OUR RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE USE OF THAT PRIVATE COMPANY OR INDIVIDUAL.
THE CITY STILL OWNS THE PROPERTY, CORRECT? YES. OKAY. THANK YOU.
NOW, VICE-CHAIR BROWN, BACK TO YOU.
IN REGARD TO THE WIDTH OF THE SIDEWALKS HERE, YOU KNOW, THE NEIGHBOR JUST TO THE NORTH THERE, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MEDICAL BRANCH THERE, AND THEY'RE IN THEIR MASTER PLAN. THEY REQUIRE THAT ALL.
THEY HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SIDEWALKS AND THE MINIMUM DIMENSION FOR A SIDEWALK.
THE TERTIARY SIDEWALK, THEY CALL IT A SIX FEET.
THEY DON'T ALLOW A SIDEWALK ANY NARROWER THAN SIX FEET ANYWHERE AROUND.
AND AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE CURB CUTS AND DRIVEWAYS EVERYWHERE.
SO THERE'S A BIG MIX OF PEDESTRIAN TYPES THAT YOU DON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE.
AND IN FACT, YOU'VE GOT IT LOOKS LIKE THREE CURB CUTS AND A TWO GOING TO A PARKING GARAGE, RIGHT.
[00:20:04]
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS AREA, WHICH ONLY INCREASES THE RISK OF TO PEDESTRIANS IN THIS AREA.SO I WAS A LITTLE BIT SURPRISED AT ABOUT THE FIVE FOOT WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT A LANDSCAPED SIDEWALK AREA THERE THAT COULD EASILY BE REDUCED AND ADD A LITTLE BIT TO THAT DIMENSION FOR THE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
SO I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT RECOMMENDATION.
YEAH. AND THOSE AND THOSE ARE THOSE ARE GREAT.
AND, YOU KNOW, BEAR IN MIND THAT THESE ARE ALL MINIMUMS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE A BIGGER SITE.
AND IT'S RIGHT ACROSS A BUSY PARKING GARAGE.
OH, I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD, COMMISSIONER FINKEL.
YOU KNOW, OFTENTIMES I SEE IN COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION THAT MUNICIPALITIES PROHIBIT THE IMPEDANCE OF DRIVEWAYS WITHIN PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY AND THAT YOU'RE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THAT OFF OF YOUR PUBLIC OFF OF OFF OF THE PUBLIC.
RIGHT OF WAY. AND THE REASON I BRING THAT UP IS THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY HAVE A MINIMUM DISTANCE THAT YOU CAN GET FIVE FEET WORTH OF SIDEWALK, THAT SLOPE CREATES AN INCONSISTENCY IN THE SIDEWALK AREA.
AND SO I'M I WAS CURIOUS AS TO STAFF'S THOUGHTS BEHIND THE WHOLE HOST OF DRIVEWAY ENCROACHMENTS.
WELL, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT OUR ENGINEERING DIVISION IS TASKED TO REVIEW.
COUNCILMAN QUESTION ABOUT PARKING.
IS THERE GOING TO BE PARKING? THAT'S A THAT'S A THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
AND I THINK WE ARE STILL TRYING TO GET MORE OF A FINAL ANSWER ON THAT.
BUT I THINK THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.
SHOULD IT BE NINTH STREET? RIGHT OF WAY.
JUST SAYING THAT FOR WHEN IT GOES TO COUNCIL.
THIS THIS IS AS FAR AS IT GOES.
OKAY. SO THAT'S THAT IS NINTH STREET BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THIS.
THAT'S NINTH STREET BECAUSE IT'S ON THIS SIDE.
COULD BE MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART IS THAT IT'S NIGHT.
OKAY. SO THEN CROSSWALK MARKERS, FIVE BY FIVE, SURFACE MOUNTED SOLAR POWERED FIXTURES.
HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE THERE? DO YOU REMEMBER? I DON'T THINK A TOTAL NUMBER WAS PROVIDED THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE APPLICANT ADDRESSED IT AS WELL.
BUT IT'S BASICALLY ON THAT EIGHTH STREET RIGHT OF WAY.
THEY BASICALLY THE ENTIRE LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THAT POST OFFICE STREET.
LET ME SEE. THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU.
THE LICENSEE SHALL PAY AN ANNUAL LICENSE RENEWAL FEE OF $153.
BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE TAKING UP CITY PARKING PLACES, RIGHT? SO THEY WERE PAYING FOR CITY PARKING.
AND THIS IS JUST A RENEWAL FEE.
IT'S JUST A LICENSE RENEWAL FEE, IS THAT CORRECT? YES. THE CASE YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT, THEY WERE TAKING UP FOR DOWNTOWN PAID PARKING SPACES AND SO THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THAT.
BUT THERE'S NO PAID PARKING IN THIS AREA.
AND THIS IS ALL WE USUALLY MAKE ANYONE PAY FOR IS JUST A LICENSE RENEWAL FEE.
BECAUSE WHAT'S MAKING JUST TAKING A LITTLE SIGNIFICANT PAUSE ON THIS BECAUSE OF INSIGNIFICANT INTERESTING BECAUSE WE USE THE WORD SIGNIFICANT IN THIS PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS DESCRIPTION WILL ENCOMPASS A SIGNIFICANT
[00:25:05]
PORTION OF THE STREET JUST IS MAKING ME KIND OF.CITY CODE DICTATES WHAT THE RENEWAL FEE IS.
IS A DOLLAR A LINEAR FOOT? SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY.
THERE'S. THERE'S NO DISCRETION IN THAT.
OKAY. IF THEY WERE TO LIMIT PARKING, THAT IS EXCLUDE PARKING ALONG POST OFFICE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE THE PARKING FEES THAT THAT WOULD DISPLACE.
THERE AREN'T THIS IS NOT A PAID PARKING ZONE.
OH, OKAY. THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUEST.
THEN THE TRADITIONAL LICENSE TO USE RENEWAL FEES BASED ON LINEAR FOOTAGE.
WELL, THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE PROVIDING PARKING, OBVIOUSLY, THROUGH THE GARAGE.
AND I'M NOT SURE IF SOME OF THAT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, EITHER NEGOTIATED OR WHAT'S HAPPENING AS FAR AS SOME OF THOSE PARKING SPACES THAT MIGHT OR MAY NOT GO AND NOT BE GOING AWAY. THAT'S A GOOD DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT.
OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COMMISSIONERS BEFORE WE MOVE ON? YES. YES. COUNCILMAN, CAN YOU GIVE ME JUST A BRIEF HISTORY? SO WE'VE SEEN OF COURSE, THIS IS OF COURSE.
YOU KNOW. RIGHT? YES. AND THAT'S THE ONLY.
FROM FROM A RIGHT OF WAY STANDPOINT.
YES, THE OTHER ITEMS ARE REPLACED AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE WHICH THEY ARE THAT.
COMMISSIONERS. ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE WE MOVE ON? OKAY. THANK YOU.
OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 20 2007 AND THEN HAVE THE APPLICANT COME UP, PLEASE. AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND.
AND. AND IS THE MC LIVE KATHERINE.
TESTING. TESTING. THERE YOU GO.
AND PLEASE TELL US WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO TELL US ABOUT THE PROJECT.
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE HEARD BROUGHT UP.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND ANSWER QUESTIONS.
SO CURRENTLY OUR PLAN FOR POST OFFICE TO RECONFIGURE THAT.
SO CURRENTLY IT'S TWO LANES WITH ALL THREE PARKING.
THE PLAN FOR FOR THIS PROJECT IS TO ELIMINATE.
CONVERT THAT INTO A ONE WAY STREET.
CURRENTLY HAVE NOW. BASICALLY.
AND WE'RE SORT OF REPLACING THE ON STREET PARKING WITH LANDSCAPING, LANDSCAPING, SIDEWALKS.
YES. I ASK THE QUESTION AT THAT TIME.
WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO BE REPUBLICAN.
OKAY. THEY? YOUR PROPERTY. AND THAT'S WHY.
[00:30:08]
OKAY. DID.SO WE'VE ALWAYS PRESENTED THE PROJECT SINCE WE'VE MET WITH ADRIAN AND CATHERINE WAS RECONFIGURATION OF POST OFFICE WOULD INCLUDE THE A ONE WAY STREET WITH THE REMOVAL OF PARKING. WE PRESENTED THAT SORT OF PLAN FROM DAY ONE.
PART OF THE PRESENTATION WAS, I THINK I GAVE YOU A 3D VIEWS OF, OF THE SITE.
SO THAT HASN'T CHANGED FROM FROM DAY ONE.
YES, SIR. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.
I THINK THE APPLICANT IS AS UM, AS I THINK FROM PRETTY MUCH FROM THE START OF THE PROJECT, AS HAS MENTIONED THAT, YOU KNOW, THE ON STREET PARKING COULD POTENTIALLY GO AWAY FOR, FOR LANDSCAPING.
HOWEVER, THIS IS THIS IS AN AREA WHERE, AGAIN, IT'S IT'S THERE IS NO NECESSITY FOR AN L2 TO RECONFIGURE A STREET THAT IS HANDLEBAR ENGINEERING DIVISION, AND THAT IS THE PROCESS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS TAKEN AS WELL.
IT'S NOTHING THAT WE WOULD SEE HERE WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S PARKING ON POST OFFICE.
IS IT OR ISN'T? THERE'S NO NECESSITY FOR AN LTU FOR THAT.
NO. THAT WOULD BE HANDLED BY THE ENGINEERING DIVISION.
AND I THINK THAT'S THAT BELIEF THAT THE APPLICANT HAS RECEIVED AN APPROVAL FOR THAT AS WELL.
OKAY. SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE THE PARKING SITUATION IS OUTSIDE OUR PURVIEW FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE LTE-U? I BELIEVE SO.
I COULDN'T TELL YOU RIGHT OFFHAND WHETHER OR NOT IT'S WITHIN THEIR PURVIEW OR NOT.
I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE.
AUTHORIZING. ANY QUESTIONS? YES, SIR. COUNCILMAN, I HEARD YOU RIDE.
RECONFIGURING RECONFIGURATION OF THE PARKING, ELIMINATING PARKING AND PUTTING.
LANDSCAPING. WHERE THAT MONEY IS, IS NOT PART OF THE LAW.
NOT THAT IT'S NOT PART OF THE LTU IN THIS CASE.
IT IS. I MEAN, ANYTHING AND THE RIGHT OF WAY WOULD OBVIOUSLY REQUIRE AN LTE-U.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON WITH THE APPLICANT.
YEAH. ANY ITEMS PLACED IN THE RIGHT WAY WOULD STILL REQUIRE AN TO YOU? TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, YES.
IF THEY WERE GOING TO BE MAINTAINED BY THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER AND THEY WERE FOR THEIR USE ONLY.
THAT WOULD JUST BE A RIGHT OF WAY PERMIT.
THAT'S JUST A RIGHT OF WAY PERMIT.
I CAN ELIMINATE PARKING BY DOING THAT.
THAT'S WHAT THE CITY ENGINEER WORKS ON.
SO THIS LANDSCAPE BUMP OUT IS NOT GOING TO BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY.
IT'S GOING TO BE SHRINERS HOSPITAL BUILT AND MAINTAINED.
SO DOES THAT NEED TO HAVE AN LTA BECAUSE OF THAT? I MEAN, THAT'S TYPICALLY ANYTHING.
YES, ANYTHING IN THE RIGHT OF WAY.
THAT IS THAT IS THE THE PROPERTY OF THE CITY.
[00:35:03]
UNDERSTANDING THAT THE THE LANDSCAPE PART OF IT, YOU HAVE IRRIGATION LINES RUNNING ALL THE LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, STREET FIGHTING.FERGUSON INSTALLED BY THE OWNER SIDE BY ASSUMPTION IS YES, THAT WOULD BE HANDLED BY SHRINERS.
I COULDN'T SPEAK. TYPICALLY SIDEWALKS AND CURBS MAY BE PUT IN BY AN ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER AND THEN ARE MAINTAINED BY THE CITY. WE DON'T REQUIRE AN L2 FOR SIDEWALKS AND CURBS.
SO SHE'S NOT GOING TO CUT THAT GRASS, THOUGH, ARE THEY? HE DOESN'T CUT ANY GRASS. SO THAT'S ALWAYS THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY.
I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT IT'S CITY PROPERTY AND THE SHRINERS ARE GOING TO BUILD THE LANDSCAPE OUT, PUT A CURB IN IT AND PLANT GRASS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE EVEN SOME TREES OR SOME KIND OF LANDSCAPING AND THEY'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN IT.
SO NOW DO THEY NEED AN LTU TO DO THAT OR NOT? WELL, THERE'S NO LTE REQUIREMENT FOR PLANTING.
YES. YEAH. THAT'S THE PLANTERS BOX AS WELL.
YES, MA'AM. SO UNDER THOSE TERMS, NOEL, TO, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD NEED AN L2 FOR THE PLANAR BOXES.
OKAY. SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TREES AND THE RIGHT OF WAY? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. I GUESS I'M GETTING CONFUSED BETWEEN WHERE THE GRASS IS GOING AND WHERE THE PLANTER BOX IS GOING.
WHAT? WHAT'S AN LGU? WHAT'S NOT AN LGU? WHAT DOES THIS VIDEO AND WHAT DOESN'T? WHO IS MAINTAINING WHAT? NOW, I THINK WE JUST CONVOLUTED A LOT OF STUFF FOR ME.
HAVE WE ANSWERED? ARE WE MOVING ON FROM THE PARKING QUESTION OR ARE WE STILL DO WE STILL NEED TO? DO WE STILL NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PARKING QUESTION? I MEAN, I THINK WE NEED.
I MEAN, I WAS ALWAYS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WOULD STILL BE MARKETING THE STREET.
ME, TOO. AND, YOU KNOW, AND I NEED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT MAYBE THAT MEETING AND SEE.
NOT AGREE ON THAT, BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT OUR VIEW THIS.
WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT PARKING ON THE STREET, PARKING IT IN THE GARAGE OR TWO EMPTY SPACES, AND I WOULD BE HESITANT TO BRING ANY LEADS UP HERE.
JUST MY OPINION, BUT I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AS WELL, IF THEY'RE OKAY WITH THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE STREET AND THE ELIMINATION OF PARKING.
WE NEED TO DO AN LTE HERE OR THAT OR NOT.
OR TO ELIMINATE AND BUILD A PARKING GARAGE THAT YOU PAY FOR.
YEAH. YEAH. I MEAN, I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN GRANT AN LTE-U FOR THE PLANAR BOXES AND THEN NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF THE PARKING THAT IF THEY'RE TAKING UP THAT SPACE.
ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT'S JUST ONE COMES WITH THE OTHER.
RIGHT. RIGHT. AND IT'S NOT ENUMERATED IN THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AS THE ITEM.
IT'S NOT ONE OF THE ITEMS ONE THROUGH SIX THAT'S BEING REQUESTED FOR A PERMANENT LICENSE TO USE.
NOR HAVE THE RECONFIGURATION OF POST OFFICE.
CHANGE THE 3 TO 1 WAY AND ALSO.
THAT'S THE WAY THE PACKAGE WOULD PRESENT IT TO THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
SO THE PARKING IS IN THE PARKING GARAGES AT PAY PARKING.
IT'S NOT PAID FOR. SO ALL PARKING IN THE GARAGE IS FREE PARKING FOR STAFF AND PATIENTS.
IF I WANTED TO GO PARK IN THAT GARAGE AND THEN GO TO UTB, THAT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.
[00:40:01]
IT'S A I THINK IT'S A LARGER DISCUSSION.THE LARGER DISCUSSION, I THINK.
DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON MY FACE? YEAH. YOU HAVE VISITORS.
WOULD THEY NOT PARK THEIR VISITORS TO THE HOSPITAL? THERE'S A HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT AROUND EIGHT PAID.
WE NEED TO PUT A PIN IN THAT AND MOVE ON TO OTHER QUESTIONS.
COMMISSIONER HUMPHREY. WELL, I THINK YOU'VE GOT ANSWER, BUT I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY IT.
SO THE WIDTH OF THE STREET WILL GO DOWN TO 24 FEET? YES. BECAUSE BOTH SIDES WILL BE BEING BROUGHT IN, NOT JUST ONE SIDE PER.
AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE.
OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? COMMISSIONER HUMPHREY. COMMISSIONER BROWN.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.
LET'S SEE. I HAVE A FEW MORE OTHER QUESTIONS.
YOU PROBABLY HEARD MY COMMENT ABOUT THE WIDTH OF THE SIDEWALKS.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU HAVE PLENTY OF SPACE TO MAKE A WIDER SIDEWALK.
I BELIEVE WE DO. I THINK WE USE FIVE FOOT AS A STANDARD TYPICALLY FOR THESE TYPE OF ZONED AREAS.
BUT IF THAT'S PART OF THE AGREEMENT THAT WE CAN ALWAYS PUSH THAT TO SIX.
SO TYPICALLY PATIENTS WILL NEVER REALLY BE OUTSIDE OF THE PURVIEW OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE AND THE HOSPITAL AND ALSO THE HOUSING. RIGHT.
SO BASICALLY IT'S MORE OF A SIDEWALK BEAUTIFICATION SORT OF PROJECT.
YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU'RE YOU'RE RIGHT.
THEY'RE ADJACENT TO YOU AND B AND A NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S SOMETHING I WOULD DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT IF WE CAN GET OVER THIS LANDSCAPING IN THE PARKING LOT THING, PARKING SPACE THING. ALSO, JUST TO BE CLEAR, I WANT TO TRY TO RUN THROUGH THIS THESE LIGHTING FIXTURE TYPES WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY ARE.
YOU HAVE THE TYPICAL TREE UP LIGHT, WHICH IS FIXTURE S.G., I THINK.
AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE WHEREVER WE LOOK, WHEREVER WE SEE TREES.
RIGHT. AND SO YOU HAVE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE NEW STREET TREES ON EIGHTH STREET AND ON NINTH STREET.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT FIXTURE ON ALL OF THOSE.
AND THAT'S THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THE SGS AND THOSE ARE THOSE ARE JUST IN GROUND LEVEL CAN POINT UP.
YEAH. AND AND THEN YOU HAVE THE TYPICAL STREETLIGHT THE ESSAY AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THERE'S ONLY ESSAS ON EIGHTH STREET, NINTH STREET AND ON CHURCH STREET.
IS THAT RIGHT? OH, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ON CHURCH STREET.
ONE OF THE PLANNING COMMENT PERMITTING COMMENTS WE RECEIVED WAS CONCERNED WITH LIGHT POLLUTION.
THEY WERE GOOD THAT THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY COMMENT.
EXCUSE ME. CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE REMOVED AGAIN, PLEASE? IS THAT CHURCH? YEP.
SO. YOU DON'T SEE YOU HAVE THE PLAN.
ALSO ALONG THE STREET RIGHT THERE.
THOSE TREES ARE LITTLE CIRCLES.
THOSE ARE SORT OF SMALL TREES, SMALL SHRUBS.
[00:45:08]
YEP. CORRECT. YEAH.THE SMALLER CIRCLES ARE SHRUBS AND MEDIUM SIZED CIRCLES.
AND YOU HAVE SGS ALL ALONG THOSE.
YES. ALONG THOSE TREES AND THE POLES ARE GOING AWAY.
OKAY. THE POLLS ARE GOING AWAY, BUT I NOTICED YOU DON'T HAVE ANY STREETLIGHTS ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF POST OFFICE. JUST BOLLARDS AND TREE UP LIGHTS.
SO LONG POST OFFICE. WE DO HAVE A SERIES OF SIDEWALK BOLLARDS.
REASON FOR THAT MEANS IT'S A STREET.
I CAN GO BACK TO MY WORK ETHIC TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY DIDN'T LOOK LIKE.
AND THEN TO THE EAST I MEAN, TO THE WEST SIDE OF POST OFFICE, YOU HAVE BOLLARDS ONLY.
DO YOU HAVE SOME TYPE OF OVERHEAD LIGHT ATTACHED TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PARKING DECK? OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
OKAY. AND THEN THEY LET ME SEE CROSSWALK MARKERS.
I GET THOSE AND THE BOLLARDS I GET THOSE.
HOW HIGH IS THAT PLANTER BOX? IT'S UP AGAINST THE BUILDING.
WELL, IT GOES UP TO THE EDGE OF THE WELL.
WE HAD TO BRING THE SIGN UP BY THE 18 INCHES BFD.
SO BASICALLY SO THE FINISHED FLOOR IS FIVE FEET ABOVE OUTSIDE GRADE.
SO THE GOAL THERE WAS, INSTEAD OF SEEING SORT OF THIS DARK, CONCRETE FOUNDATION WALL.
UM. SO DID DID YOU DO YOUR GUYS COORDINATE THE ALL THE UNDERGROUND SITE UTILITIES IN THE AREA WITH YOUR FOUNDATION ENCROACHMENTS AND MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY CONFLICTS THERE? AND YOU REPLACED THAT. OKAY.
OKAY. SO I GUESS THAT'S MY ONLY FOLLOW UPS.
I'M SORRY TO GO BACK ON PARKING, BUT I THINK IT PLAYS TO COUNCIL MEMBER LISTOWSKI COMMENT IS THAT ON NINTH STREET I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT PARKING WILL BE REDUCED AS A RESULT OF THE DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE GARAGE.
NOW WHAT I DON'T SEE AND WHAT I CAN I DON'T SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER NEGATIVE IMPACT TO PARKING ALONG NINTH STREET AND IF STAFF HAS ANY COMMENTS ON THAT, I'D APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE IT LOOKS AS IF THEY'RE.
I CAN'T TELL IF THE IF THE ADDITIONAL CURB IS ACTUALLY INTO THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY OR NOT.
RICK, EITHER ONE. YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT? OK YEAH, SURE.
[00:50:03]
CONFINED DISCUSSION TO.IT'S FRUSTRATING WHEN PEOPLE GO BACK AND LISTEN TO RECORDINGS AND THEY CAN'T HEAR.
ESPECIALLY IF. MR. BRIGGS QUESTION AGAIN.
THAT WOULD BE THE THE ONLY IMPACT IS IS IT DRIVING? AND WHAT'S THE WIDTH OF THAT ENTRANCE? I CAN'T. 24.
COMMISSIONER PENA. WHAT? ON THE ALLEY TO THE SOUTH OF THE GARAGE.
IS THERE ANY ENCROACHMENT OR ANY RECONFIGURATION OF THAT ALLEY WIDTH OR ANY CHANGE? OKAY, SO.
AND WE TRIED OUR BEST TO KEEP IT.
KEEP THE BUILDING TEN FEET FROM THE CURB.
YOU GUYS HAD LIKE A PUBLIC MEETING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE AROUND YOU.
OUR ONLY MEETINGS HAVE BEEN IN. WHAT? I GUESS MY CONCERN IS A LITTLE BIT OF THE SAME THING BECAUSE I USED TO EAT OVER THERE ALL THE TIME.
WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT WAS A RESTAURANT OVER THERE OR SOMETHING? WAS TONY'S FOOD? TONY'S.
THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. AND I USED TO PARK OVER THERE.
SO I'M WONDERING WHAT THOSE PEOPLE WILL DO, BECAUSE WHEN THE PARKING SPILLS OUT, WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM? ALL RIGHT. COMMISSIONERS THAT HANDLES EVERYBODY'S QUESTIONS.
I KNOW THAT WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE QUESTIONS ANSWERED, BUT I KNOW THAT THOSE ARE ALL OUR QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ALL OF US, MR. DE LA CRUZ. AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ALL OF THEM RESOLVED, THOUGH.

[00:55:06]
HI. COORDINATOR HERE.I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF CLARIFYING COMMENTS ON THE PARKING.
THERE WAS A DISCUSSION PREVIOUSLY ON REMOVING THE PARKING SPACES.
THE DISCUSSION I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN A PART OF HAVE CENTERED AROUND THE FACT THAT.
PARKING GARAGE THAT SHRINERS WILL BE BUILDING IS OVER 200 SPACES, AND A LOT OF THE PARKING SURROUNDING THE POST OFFICE STREET AND SUCH RIGHT NOW ARE GOING TO BE STUDENTS.
UM, STAFF AND PATIENTS PARKING.
SO THERE WAS NOT A NEED FOR PARKING OBVIOUSLY THERE.
AND THEN WITH SOME OF THE SURROUNDING RESTAURANTS, THEY ARE NOT SUPPLYING PARKING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THAT NECESSARILY SHRINERS RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE PARKING FOR OTHER.
THOSE WERE. AND LASTLY, THE WITHIN THE PARKING GARAGE ARE.
ONE REASON I KNOW THAT THEY WERE NOT SOLELY A FAN OF PROVIDING PUBLIC PARKING IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT OF PATIENTS THAT HAVE DISABILITIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE VISITING THE HOSPITAL. AND SO THERE WAS A CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF FOLKS WHO WEREN'T NECESSARILY AWARE OF WHAT THAT.
YEAH. WHAT WAS THE PATIENT'S COMING GOING WITH DRIVING TOO FAST OR.
THERE WAS JUST SOME CONCERN WITH THEIR.
ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK BEFORE WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WITH THAT WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER AT 4:27 P.M..
I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION ON THIS.
CASE. AND THEN YOU ALL CAN DECIDE IF THIS IS THE ROUTE YOU WANT TO TAKE OR NOT.
I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DEFER 20 2P-007 TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL INPUT FROM CITY ENGINEERING ON THE PARKING SITUATION, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO MAKE A SOLID DECISION ON THIS CASE AND THAT WE DEFER IT UNTIL OUR NEXT MEETING, WHICH IS, PLEASE, SOMEONE GIVE ME THE DATE.
SECOND, JUNE 7TH, SEVENTH, JUNE 7TH.
AND I HAVE A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER HUMPHREY DISCUSSION COMMISSIONERS.
I THINK, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE MORE CLARITY AROUND THE ISSUE OF PARKING, ELIMINATING THE PARKING ON POST OFFICE STREET IN TERMS OF EXACTLY WHAT'S REQUIRED TO MAKE THAT DECISION IN THAT APPROVAL.
WHAT ARE THOSE STEPS, THE PROCESSES, WHO MAKES THAT DECISION AND AND GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF? IS THAT DO WE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT OR NOT? AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S THAT'S BUTTONED UP.
AND THEN FROM THE APPLICANT PERSPECTIVE, I WANT TO SEE SOME A LITTLE MORE CLARITY AROUND THE WIDTH OF THE SIDEWALK THAT IS INCREASING THE WIDTH OF THE SIDEWALK ALL THE WAY AROUND.
RIGHT. AS LONG AS LONG AS THEY'RE THERE GETTING THAT SPACE TO DO THAT WITH THAT PARKING SPACE.
GO AHEAD PLEASE. AND THEN ELIMINATE SHOW THE DRAWINGS TO THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE THE TYPE SAY STREET STREETLIGHTS ON THE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF POST OFFICE ALLEY THAT'S IN THESE PEOPLE'S BACK YARD I THINK TO ELIMINATE THAT LIGHT TRESPASS AND THEN INSTALL LOOK AT INSTALLING THE STREETLIGHT TYPE SAY ON THE EAST SIDE OF POST OFFICE STREET WHERE THERE ARE NO STREETLIGHTS.
AND THEN I THINK THAT'S IT FOR MY LIST.
COMMISSIONERS, WERE THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS? YES, OUR COMMISSIONER, FRANKLY, I'VE GOT ONE ADDITIONAL ONE THAT I'D LIKE INFORMATION BACK ON.
[01:00:04]
I'D LIKE ENGINEERING AND ENGINEERING TO OPINE ABOUT EVALUATING THE GARAGE, DRIVEWAY, ENTRANCE ENCROACHMENTS AND ANY POTENTIAL IMPACT OR CONCERNS THEY MAY HAVE ON PARKING OR OTHERWISE.NO, NO PARKING. JUST THE GARAGE, DRIVEWAY ENTRANCES.
OK VICE-CHAIR BROWN LET ME ASK THE QUESTION OF STAFF REAL QUICK.
THERE'S NO ENCROACHMENTS BEING ASKED FOR ON THE ALLY SIDE ABOUT THE POST OFFICE, RIGHT? OKAY. AND I ASKED THAT SIMPLY TO CLARIFY THE ISSUE THAT WE HEARD A COMMENT ABOUT FROM ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS HERE, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM TO BACK THE CAR OUT.
