AND WE'LL HAVE A STAFF REPORT. GOOD AFTERNOON, PLANNING COMMISSIONERS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR DUNE MITIGATION ASSOCIATED WITH A DUNE ENHANCEMENT PROJECT.

MITIGATION IS REQUIRED FOR UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS TO DUNE VEGETATION FOR THE DUNE ENHANCEMENT PROJECT.

THE ADDRESS IS 13241 OCEANA WAY. THE PROPERTY IS LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS THE PRESERVE AT WEST BEACH, SECTION 8 (2010), ABSTRACT 121 ACRES, 39.6264, A SUBDIVISION LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF GALVESTON, TEXAS. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED IN THE ROSEATE SUBDIVISION.

SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS ARE LOCATED TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

A BEACH AND DUNE SYSTEM IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND FM 3005 IS LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

ACCORDING TO THE BUREAU OF ECONOMIC GEOLOGY, THIS AREA IS ERODING AT A RATE OF FIVE FEET PER YEAR.

STAFF HAS PREPARED PHOTOS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR YOUR VIEWING.

FIRST, WE HAVE THE FIRM AND BEG MAPS SHOWING THE DISTANCE OF THE STRUCTURE FROM THE DUNE SYSTEM AND ITS POSITION RELATIVE TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

ON THE NEXT SLIDE IS THE PROPERTY SURVEY. THE DARKER DARK LINE, KIND OF THROUGHOUT, KIND OF THROUGH THE MIDDLE IS THE DUNE.

THE DUNE LOCATION ON THIS PROPERTY IS SOUTH OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION.

ON THE FOLLOWING SLIDE, WE'VE KIND OF ZOOMED IN TO CROSS SECTIONS OF THE PROPOSED DUNE ENHANCEMENT.

THIS WILL DUNE ENHANCEMENT IS PROPOSED TO ELEVATE THE DUNE TO APPROXIMATE HEIGHT OF ABOUT 12FT ALONG THE DUNE. THEY'LL BE USING MATERIAL THAT WAS IS BEING REUSED FROM DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBDIVISION OF THE ROADS AND THINGS LIKE THAT'S WHAT THE MATERIAL WILL BE USED. ON THE, FINALLY, WE HAVE FIVE PHOTOS OF THE SITE FROM THE EAST TO WEST SHOWING THE DUNES TO BE ENHANCED. THIS IS ON THE EASTERN PORTION RIGHT UP AGAINST BERMUDA BEACH.

SUBDIVISION. JUST JUST ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE PHOTO OF THE DUNE TO BE ENHANCED.

AND THIS IS ON THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF REPORT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

ALRIGHTY. THANK YOU, KYLE. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?

[00:05:06]

HEY, KYLE, IN THE GLO LETTER, THE GLO RECOMMENDS THAT INSTEAD OF BURYING THE EXISTING VEGETATION THAT THEY HARVESTED AND USE IT.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT ABOUT THAT? INSTEAD OF DOING THE.

INSTEAD OF BURYING THE EXISTING VEGETATION, THE GLO RECOMMENDS HARVESTING THE VEGETATION WITH THE IMPACT AREA PRIOR TO THE SAND PLACEMENT AND PLACING OR PLANTING VEGETATION ON TOP OF THE RESTORED. YES, MA'AM. WE'VE WE HAD DISCUSSIONS THAT THE MITIGATION WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT'S PRACTICABLE, YOU KNOW, THIS LONG OF A DISTANCE THEM OUT THERE, GOING OUT THERE AND DIGGING UP THE VEGETATION.

WE DO HAVE A REQUIREMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO REACH 75% VEGETATIVE COVERAGE.

OVERALL, IT'S ABOUT 50% WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING IT AVERAGE.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY REQUIRING THEM TO DO MORE VEGETATIVE COVERAGE.

IF IT'S NOT MET WITHIN A YEAR, THEN THEY'LL BE GOING OUT THERE AND PLANTING. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT PRACTICAL TO HAVE PEOPLE GO OUT THERE AND TRY TO DIG UP ALL THE VEGETATION THAT'S GOING TO BE COVERED IN THAT AREA. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

SO THE GLO HAD HAD QUITE A BIT TO SAY IN THEIR LETTER.

HAVE YOU ADDRESSED EACH OF THOSE ITEMS? HAVE YOU GONE OVER THOSE WITH THE APPLICANT? YEAH. WE, WE'VE. SO THE THING ABOUT THE MITIGATION, IF YOU LOOK AT THE TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, IT SAYS IT GIVES A LOT TO THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONES OUT HERE ON SITE WITH THEM.

GLO, THOSE COMMENTS DON'T ALWAYS REFLECT THAT.

IT'S A LOT ON THE, A LOT OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FALLS ON TO THE TO THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY.

BUT WE HAVE TALKED WITH LIKE I SAID, WE'VE TALKED THROUGH THIS ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR 75% OF VEGETATIVE COVERAGE AFTER A YEAR WITH THE APPLICANT.

YOU KNOW, WE MAY WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION BEFORE WE SENT IT UP TO GLO, WE HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS ON ALL THIS MITIGATION.

BUT YEAH, WE'VE TALKED THROUGH THIS. WE HAD THE APPLICANT GO AND DO A SIEVE TEST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MATERIAL THAT THEY WERE USING FROM THE SITE WAS APPROPRIATE.

THAT WAS SUBMITTED WITH OUR APPLICATION UP TO THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE.

SO THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, VERIFIED THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE MATERIAL.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ADDRESSED EVERYTHING. LIKE I SAID, THE MITIGATION SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT'S PRACTICABLE OUT THERE FOR MITIGATION. YOU KNOW, AND LIKE I SAID, THE TAC GIVES US A LOT OF THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES, A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY IN WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT AND TO MAKE SURE THE MITIGATION IS THERE.

AND GLO HAS A AT THE END OF MITIGATION, WHEN WE THINK THE MITIGATION IS COMPLETE, WE SEND IT UP TO THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE.

SO IF THEY DON'T FEEL THAT IT'S MEETING A REQUIREMENT, THEY DON'T HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON IT, AND THE APPLICANT STILL HAS TO MONITOR AND MAINTAIN THAT.

SO THEY HAVE A, THEY STILL HAVE A, YOU KNOW, MECHANISM TO BEFORE THEY SIGN OFF ON IT OR SAY IT'S ADEQUATE.

OKAY, AND JUST TO CLARIFY THE AREA OF MITIGATION, IS THAT EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE DUNE ENHANCEMENT AREA, THOSE. YEAH, YEAH. SO THERE'S A DUNE THERE. AND THEY'RE JUST GOING TO BE ENHANCING THAT DUNE.

SO MITIGATION IS BASICALLY WHEN YOU DO MITIGATION A LOT OF TIMES IT'S YOU'RE YOU KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT MOVING SAND AND VEGETATION.

THIS THIS ONE IS WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT MOVING SAND.

YOU'RE BASICALLY BUILDING UP THE DUNE ENHANCING THE DUNE.

SO WE'LL BE COVERING VEGETATION UP. SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE GOT TO MOVE, YOU KNOW, 3000YD³ OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO THE SAND IS NOT GOING TO BE MOVED.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE THE VEGETATION THAT'S GOING TO BE IMPACTED.

THANK YOU. SO KYLE IS, THERE WAS A POINT IN HERE ABOUT THE SAND BEING SIMILAR GRAINY CONSISTENCY QUALITY, BASICALLY BEACH QUALITY.

AND YOU'RE SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO USE SOME THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE SCRAPING OFF FROM WHEN THEY DO THE. THEY'RE ALREADY, THE PILES ARE ALREADY THERE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE USING. YEAH.

SO THEY'VE ALREADY GOT THE MATERIAL THERE. AND THEY DID SIEVE TESTING ON THAT.

AND LIKE I SAID, THOSE REPORTS WERE SUBMITTED UP WITH YEAH, GLO WITH OUR SUBMITTAL FOR THEIR REVIEW AND COMMENT.

OKAY. AND SECOND, WHAT ABOUT THE IMPACT ON ADJACENT AREAS.

WHAT WILL THIS DO BE IN PLACE HERE? I THINK THIS IS KIND OF GOING I'M THINKING LIKE WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH GEO TUBES.

YOU'RE ENHANCING THE DUNES HERE. HOW DOES THAT IMPACT EAST AND WEST OF THOSE, OF THAT? WELL, WE'LL BE MONITORING THAT ANY, ANY PROJECT LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, ANY DUNE PROJECT WE MONITOR TO SEE WHERE WHAT HAPPENS.

YOU KNOW, WE GET A STORM EVENT. IT COULD WASH OUT, YOU KNOW, IT COULD COME UP.

WE GET HIGH TIDES OF ANY COULD WASH OUT. SO IT'S HARD TO SAY, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WHEN YOU BUILD THESE DUNES, WHAT'S GOING TO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OUT THERE UNTIL. BUT WE WE ROUTINELY GO OUT THERE AND INSPECT THESE.

[00:10:05]

WE WILL YOU KNOW 100 ARE OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, EVERY WEEK DRIVING UP AND DOWN THE BEACH TO SEE.

AND IF WE SEE ANY THAT IS CAUSING IMPACTS AND WE'LL GET WITH APPLICANT THAT'S, THAT'S OUR COMPLIANCE EFFORTS THAT WE, WE DO IT IN THE COASTAL RESOURCES DIVISION. OKAY.

WE APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHTY.

THANK YOU, KYLE. WE WILL MOVE TO PUBLIC HEARING.

THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR CASE 20 5B-061 IS OPEN, AND THE STAFF REPORT IS MADE A PART OF THAT PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE THE APPLICANT PRESENT? ALL RIGHT.

LOOKS LIKE NO. I GUESS DO WE HAVE ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS FROM THE PUBLIC? LOOKS LIKE NO. ALL RIGHT. SO WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND I GUESS NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED, BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THAT'S IT.

SO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, KYLE. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP, WE'VE GOT 25P-043, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

[7.A.2. 25P-043 (Vacant Tracts located East and West of Pabst Road, North of the Bermuda Beach Subdivision, West of 11 Mile Road, and South of San Luis Pass Road/FM 3005) Request for a Planned Unit Development for Private Streets. Properties are legally described as: The Preserve at West Beach, Section 8 (2010), Abstract 121 , Acres 39.6264; The Preserve at West Beach, Section 8 (2010), Abstract 121, Block 4, Lot 1, Acres 3.8736; The Preserve at West Beach, Section 9 (2010), Abstract 121 , Acres 21.5022; and Abstract 121, Hall & Jones Survey, Portion of Lot 457 (457-1, Trimble & Lindsey, Section 2 AKA Portion of Blocks 74, 77, & 84, Nottingham Subdivision; in the City and County of Galveston Texas. Applicant: CARBO Landscape Architecture Property Owner: Green East Realty]

AND WE'LL HEAR STAFF'S REPORT. THIS IS FOR THE VACANT TRACKS LOCATED EAST AND WEST OF PABST ROAD, NORTH OF BERMUDA BEACH SUBDIVISION, EAST OF 11 MILE ROAD AND SOUTH OF SAN LUIS PASS/FM 3005.

THE REQUEST IS FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

114 NOTICES WERE SENT, 4 RETURNED, THOSE 4 IN OPPOSITION.

NO COMMENTS FROM CITY DEPARTMENTS OR FROM PRIVATE UTILITIES.

PLEASE NOTE THE BACKGROUND SECTION IN YOUR STAFF REPORT. THIS IS FOR ROSEATES BEACH SUBDIVISION, WHICH WE HAVE SEEN SEVERAL APPROVALS FOR, INCLUDING A CHANGE OF ZONING, A PRELIMINARY PLAT AND A BEACHFRONT CONSTRUCTION AND DUNE PROTECTION PERMIT.

THIS REQUEST IS TO INCORPORATE A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT TO A TRADITIONAL, NEIGHBORHOOD BASED ZONING DISTRICT, IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR PRIVATE STREETS.

SECTION 6.303 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS REQUIRES A PUD FOR PRIVATE STREETS.

NO DEVIATIONS FROM THE LDR ARE BEING REQUESTED.

THE REQUEST IS SOLELY TO ALLOW FOR THE STREETS IN THE DEVELOPMENT TO BE PRIVATE.

PRIVATE STREETS SHALL MEET ALL STANDARDS FOR AN EQUIVALENT PUBLIC STREET.

TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES SHALL CONFORM TO THE STANDARDS OF THE MANUAL ON UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, AND THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING MAY REQUIRE INSTALLATION OF SUCH TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AS ARE DEEMED APPROPRIATE.

BEACH ACCESS PLAN. CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO BEACH VEHICULAR ACCESS LOCATED SEAWARD OF THE ROSEATE DEVELOPMENT.

PARKING FOR THIS BEACH VEHICULAR RESTRICTED AREA IS CONTAINED AT BEACH ACCESS POINT 12, BERMUDA BEACH TO THE EAST OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND AT ACCESS POINT 13 POCKET PARK 3 TO THE WEST OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THE COASTAL RESOURCES DIVISION WILL NOT REQUIRE ANY ON STREET PARKING WITHIN THE ROSEATE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CITY OF GALVESTON'S BEACH ACCESS PLAN. STAFF RECOMMENDATION. STAFF FINDS THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS NOT CONTRARY TO THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND MEETS THE ABOVE REFERENCED CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL.

THE DEVELOPMENT MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, AND THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THE PUD IS TO ALLOW THE STREETS IN THE DEVELOPMENT TO BE PRIVATE.

PRIVATE STREETS ARE A BENEFIT TO THE CITY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PRIVATE STREETS ARE MAINTAINED BY THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, AND THERE ARE NO MAINTENANCE COSTS TO THE CITY.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THE SPECIFIC CONDITION NOTING THAT THE PUD IS ONLY FOR THE ALLOWANCE OF PRIVATE STREETS, AND THEN ITEMS 2 THROUGH 3 ARE. 2, 3 AND 4 ARE STANDARD.

CITY COUNCIL IS THE FINAL DECISION REGARDING PUD REQUESTS AND COUNCIL WILL HEAR THIS REQUEST ON DECEMBER 11TH.

THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION.

AND THEN WE HAVE ON THE NEXT SLIDE THE SUBDIVISION LAYOUT.

AND THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S REPORT. ALRIGHTY. THANK YOU, CATHERINE.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? JOHN? OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON THE PARKING, BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GALVESTON BEACH ACCESS PLAN.

THAT REQUIRES ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EVERY 15FT OF BEACHFRONT.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE DISTANCE IS ON THAT. I COULDN'T BLOW IT UP BIG ENOUGH ON MY COMPUTER TO READ, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S I DON'T KNOW, 6 OR 700FT.

DO YOU? THAT REQUIREMENT IS THAT THERE ARE VEHICLES ABLE TO ACCESS THE BEACH NOW, AND WE'RE PROHIBITING VEHICLES FROM ACCESSING IT.

THERE IS NO VEHICULAR ACCESS AT THAT LOCATION RIGHT NOW.

SO IF YOU HAVE A, IF YOU HAVE AN AREA THAT THE VEHICLES ARE ACCESSING IT AND YOU SAY, HEY, WE DO NOT WANT THE VEHICLES HERE IN FRONT OF US ANYMORE, THEN THAT'S WHERE THE 1 TO 15 COMES IN.

SO THERE HAS NOT BEEN, THERE'S NOT ANY VEHICLE ACCESS FROM BERMUDA BEACH TO POCKET PARK 3.

SO POCKET PARK 3 IS ABOUT 300 LINEAR FEET OF BEACH.

[00:15:04]

SO THAT'S ABOUT 20 VEHICLES OR 20 PARKING SPACES.

THEIR PARKING LOT IS 273. THAT'S WHERE WE WE CAN FIT INTO THAT ONE.

THE BERMUDA BEACH HAS 211. SO THIS AREA WITH THIS THIS IS LOCATED THERE'S NO VEHICLES THAT ACCESS IT.

SO THAT THAT PARKING HAS BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR SOMETIME WHEN THIS WHEN THE BEACH ACCESS PLAN WAS DEVELOPED.

SO WE CANNOT, I CANNOT GO AND SAY YOU MUST PROVIDE BEACH ACCESS PARKING BECAUSE IF THERE'S NO, WE'RE NOT RESTRICTING ANY VEHICLES. THAT ONLY COMES INTO PLACE IF I'M RESTRICTING VEHICLES FROM THAT.

THERE'S NO VEHICLES THERE NOW. SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY GRANDFATHERED OR IT'S ALREADY COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING PLANS, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YEAH, SOMEBODY AND THERE'S, SUNNY BEACH IS THE SAME WAY.

SUNNY BEACH HAS, YOU KNOW, BEACHSIDE VILLAGE CLOSED OFF.

YOU KNOW, WE RESTRICTED VEHICLES AT SUNNY BEACH ACCESS POINT, WHATEVER.

THEY ARE TOGETHER. BUT SUNNY BEACH IS BETWEEN POCKET PARK 1 AND BEACHSIDE VILLAGE.

BUT THEY DIDN'T. THEY DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE ANY PARKING.

THEY'RE NOT PROVIDING ANY PARKING. SO THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS LIKE THAT THAT ARE KIND OF THROUGHOUT THE WEST END THAT JUST, YEAH. WHEN THEY DEVELOPED THIS BEACH ACCESS PLAN 20 YEARS AGO, HOWEVER LONG AGO, THAT'S JUST KIND OF HOW IT WORKED OUT.

OKAY I UNDERSTAND OKAY. OKAY, SO BERMUDA BEACH HAS 3005 SOMETHING LIKE THAT, DON'T QUOTE ME, FEET OF BEACH FRONT, SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE 211 PARKING SPACES.

BUT THE PUBLIC CAN'T ACCESS THAT BEACH BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY THE POCKET PARK WHERE THEY CAN PARK.

SO I'M VERY CONFUSED ABOUT WHY ARE THEY REQUIRED TO HAVE 211 PARKING SPACES.

AND THEY'RE, THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST A STREET IN BERMUDA BEACH, BERMUDA BEACH DRIVE.

AND THAT OVERFLOW OF THOSE 211. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS REQUIRED TO ABSORB THAT.

AND IN THIS REPORT IT SAYS THAT THE PARKING FOR THIS BEACH, VEHICULAR RESTRICTED IS CONTAINED IN THE BERMUDA BEACH AS WELL AS THE POCKET PARK.

SO IS BERMUDA BEACH STREET PARKING SUPPOSED TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THIS NEW AREA THAT HAS ALL THIS NEW BEACHFRONT? WELL, IT'S NOT THE NEW BEACH FRONT. YOU HAVE SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S BEHIND BERMUDA BEACH, BETWEEN BERMUDA BEACH AND FM 3005. SO THAT'S SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENTS.

SO SOME OF THAT YOU KNOW THAT PARKING IS. THAT BEACH ACCESS PARKING IS WITHIN BERMUDA BEACH.

I CAN'T SAY, LIKE I SAID, WE CAN'T SAY NOW WE'LL MOVE SOME OF THIS FROM BERMUDA BEACH INTO THAT LITTLE AREA BETWEEN BERMUDA BEACH AND FM 3005, BECAUSE THE PARKING IS ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR.

CAN I CLARIFY? YEAH, GO FOR IT. OKAY. IF YOU TOOK THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE BEACHFRONT AND YOU TOOK THE TOTAL NUMBER OF THE CAR PARKING, IS IT SEQUENTIAL? YEAH, IT'S, LIKE I SAID, IT'S OFFSETS SOME OF THAT.

THAT IS OFFSET AT POCKET PARK 3. SO YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THE QUANTITY OF PARKING SPOTS PER LINEAR FOOT OF BEACH.

OUR PLAN. THAT'S WHAT OUR PLAN AUTHORIZES. YEAH.

IT'S NOT, IT DOESN'T. THAT'S WHAT OUR PLAN AUTHORIZED.

THIS WAS DEVELOPED BEFORE I CAME. THAT'S. THAT IS WHAT IS THAT IS.

THAT'S WHAT WAS IN THE PLAN. IT MEETS THE CRITERIA.

MEETS THE CRITERIA. HAS BEEN CERTIFIED BY GLO.

YES, MA'AM. BUT IT DOES BECAUSE YOU INCORPORATE THE OVERFLOW INTO THE BERMUDA BEACH NEIGHBORHOOD ON THEIR STREETS.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT WAS WHAT WAS. I UNDERSTAND IT WAS PRIOR TO, I GET THAT.

BUT YOU'VE GOT A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S DOWN TO BASICALLY ONE STREET, JOHN REYNOLDS ROAD, AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND THEY'RE HAVING TO PICK UP THESE EXTRA PARKING PLACES TO.

THERE'S NOT ANY EXTRA PARKING PLACES. THERE'S, WE'RE NOT INCREASING THE PARKING NUMBER OUT THERE.

SO IT'S STILL 211. IT'S STILL 211. EVEN WITH THE NEW ADDITION SUBDIVISION.

YES, MA'AM. YEAH, THERE'S NOT THERE'S NOT ANY ADDITIONAL PARKING BEING ADDED TO ANYTHING.

WE'RE JUST SAYING THAT THAT SECTION OF BEACH RIGHT THERE ALONG THE SUBDIVISION THAT'S ALONG THE BEACH THAT, THEY DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE PARKING FOR THAT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT THERE'S NOT VEHICLES BEING ACCESS NOW AND WE'RE NOT RESTRICTING VEHICLES.

IT'S BEING ADDRESSED AT POCKET PARK 3 AND BERMUDA BEACH.

THE ON-BEACH ACCESS, VEHICULAR ACCESS. WE'RE NOT ADDING ANY MORE TO BERMUDA BEACH.

WE'RE NOT ADDING ANY MORE TO POCKET PARK 3. WE'RE SAYING THIS SECTION THAT THIS FALLS IN HAS BEEN ADDRESSED FOR THE FOR THE OFF-BEACH PARKING TO RESTRICT

[00:20:03]

VEHICLES IN THIS AREA. SO WITH THIS NEW NEIGHBORHOOD ADDITION, IF THESE WERE NOT PRIVATE STREETS, WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE SOME OF THIS? WE CANNOT MAKE. I COULD NOT GO AND SAY, YOU MUST NOW PUT THESE, PUT PARKING ON YOUR STREETS.

IT JUST SEEMS KIND OF UNFAIR SINCE THEY'LL BE USING THE SAME BEACH AREA.

YEAH. THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO PICK UP ANY OF THE BEACH, AND IT'S A WAY BIGGER AREA THAN BERMUDA BEACH NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE ONLY. YEAH, WELL, THE ONLY STATUTE THAT IS THE ONLY STATUTE THAT I HAVE TO MAKE PEOPLE PUT PARKING IN THEIR STREETS AS IF THERE'S VEHICLES DRIVING ON THE BEACH NOW IN FRONT OF THEIR AREA. AND THEY WANT TO RESTRICT THAT. THEN I CAN SAY, WELL, YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE THIS PARKING, BUT THERE'S THAT'S NOT THE CASE AT THIS LOCATION.

NOW, IF BERMUDA BEACH AND ROSEATE CAME UP WITH AN AGREEMENT AND SAID, HEY, YEAH, WE'LL ALLOW SOME OF THAT PARKING ON OUR STREETS, WE COULD AMEND OUR PLAN TO DO THAT, BUT THE CITY CAN'T GO AND SELL ROSEATE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO DO THIS.

IF THEY WORK WITH BERMUDA BEACH AND COME UP WITH A PLAN.

AND I THINK THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION OF TRYING TO WORK ON A PARKING LOT OUT THERE TO, TO ACCOMMODATE SOME OF THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD AMEND OUR PLAN. OKAY. I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.

ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE WE'VE WE HAD ANOTHER PROPOSAL LIKE THIS COME BEFORE US FOR ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM ABOUT THE ONE ENTRANCE OFF OF 3005 AND CAUSING TRAFFIC ISSUES.

HAS THAT BEEN LOOKED AT ALL WITH THIS BEING A, AND THAT MAY BE NOT THE QUESTION FOR YOU.

THAT MIGHT BE FOR DANIEL OR SOMEBODY ELSE ABOUT THE ENTRANCE TO THIS.

I GUESS IT'S GOING TO BE A GATED COMMUNITY WITH PRIVATE DRIVES. YEAH. I DON'T. YEAH, SO WE REVIEWED THE SUBDIVISION LAYOUT UNDER THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, AND THE FIRE MARSHAL DIDN'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS AT THAT TIME.

AND THIS THE SOLE ITEM UNDER CONSIDERATION HERE IS THE PUBLIC STREETS.

WHERE ARE THE ACCESS POINTS ON THAT? LET ME SEE.

I CAN'T SEE THAT VERY WELL MYSELF. WITH THAT LIGHT COLORED BUILDING.

OKAY, SO THERE ARE TWO ACCESS POINTS. THERE'S ONE ON 3005.

KARINA, IF YOU'LL POINT TO IT, IT'S RIGHT HERE. THERE WE GO.

SO THAT'S THE MAIN ENTRANCE. AND THEN THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL ENTRANCE THAT GOES ON TO PABST.

ANYTHING ELSE? JOHN, ANYTHING. OKAY. ON THE ACTUAL PLAN ITSELF, THERE'S SOME RESERVES THAT ARE ON THERE THAT ARE LISTED AS L TO O ALONG THE BEACH FRONT SIDE, AND IN THE CIVIL DRAWINGS THAT'S SHOWING THAT THOSE SWELLS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED, THOSE WILL BE ROUTING WATER.

I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHERE THE WATER IS GOING TO DRAIN TO.

BUT IF YOU LOOK ALONG THE BEACH FRONT SIDE, HOW ARE PEOPLE GOING TO ACCESS THE BEACH FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD? ARE THOSE RESERVES GOING TO BE USED ALSO AS A DUPLICATE, MEANING YOU'RE GOING TO PUT A WALKOVER, IT'S GOING TO BE USED AS DRAINAGE BELOW IT, BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE A WALKOVER FOR ACCESS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVER THE DUNE.

WELL, THEY'RE NOT. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DRAIN ANYTHING TO THE BEACH.

NO, NO, NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE IDENTIFIED AS JUST RESERVED.

AND WHEN YOU SEE THOSE RESERVED THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY ARE INTENDED TO ROUTE WATER.

IS THAT CORRECT? WELL, I'M LOOKING AT PAGE HERE THAT THEY SAY DUNE WALKOVERS.

YEAH. OKAY. SO IT'S GOING TO BE USED FOR BOTH.

I MEAN WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN APPLICATION FOR DUNE WALKOVER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YEAH. BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE THAT ANYTHING IN THERE ON THAT. WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT. I MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE TO, WHEN THEY GET, THEY CAN'T BUILD IT UNTIL THEY GET SOMETHING FROM US.

BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN. SURE APPLICATION. WELL, THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IF THEY CAN'T, IF THERE'S NO WALKOVER TO GET TO THE BEACH, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DRIVE AND USE THE PARKING TO. I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE.

WELL, THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE, SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PLANS FOR BEACH ACCESS.

AND THEN RESERVES CAN HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS.

SURE REASONS. SO THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY DRAINAGE.

AND WE WOULD HAVE THE CITY ENGINEER REVIEW DRAINAGE DURING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

AND THEY'VE ALSO RECEIVED THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS. YEAH, I JUST ASSUMED THAT IT WOULD BE USED AS BOTH.

AND TO JUST BE CANDIDLY HONEST. THEY VERY WELL COULD DRIVE OVER THERE AND GO DOWN PIPES ROAD AND USE BERMUDA BEACH DRIVE.

WE DON'T. RIGHT. THEY VERY WELL BUT WE DON'T RESTRICT ALL WE'RE ALL WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO IS PROVIDE UNDER THE TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND THE STATE STATUTE OF PROVIDING ACCESS.

WE CAN'T PROHIBIT OR WE CAN'T SAY I SAID WE CAN'T GO BACK TO THEM NOW AND SAY, WELL, YOU MAY HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE DRIVE OVER THERE.

[00:25:07]

THAT VERY WELL MAY BE THE CASE, BUT WE CAN'T GO BACK AND SAY, NOW YOU HAVE TO PUT PARKING IN THERE BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A STATUTE THAT I CAN SAY.

UNDERSTOOD, UNDERSTOOD. HOW MANY GATED TYPE COMMUNITIES DO WE HAVE THAT UTILIZE OTHER BEACHES FOR THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I MEAN, THERE'S SOME ON THE WEST END. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW.

BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAD ONE BEFORE AND THAT AN APPLICANT THAT CAME BEFORE US AND THERE WAS ISSUES IN, BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS. YOU KNOW, USUALLY IT'S THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEIR BEACH, BUT NOW WE HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WILL POTENTIALLY USE ANOTHER BEACH FOR THEIR OWN PARKING, BUT THEY WANT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD RESTRICTED AND NO ONE COMING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M JUST. OKAY. I'M DONE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL.

I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS MYSELF. SO, DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CURRENT PARKING NEEDS AT POCKET? IS IT POCKET PARK 3? IS THAT THE ONE THAT SERVICES THAT AREA? YEAH, THERE'S NO NEEDS OUT THERE. WELL, NO. BUT LIKE, IS IT PRETTY CONSISTENTLY FULL.

ARE WE SEEING, YOU KNOW FOLKS THAT, I MEAN DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA.

I MEAN, YEAH, I MEAN EVERY IT DEPENDS ON WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE WHO'S USING IT.

I MEAN, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S. PUBLIC PARKING.

YEAH, IT'S PUBLIC PARKING. YES, SIR. ALRIGHT, AND THEN ON JOHN REYNOLDS ROAD IS.

I THOUGHT I SAW NO PARKING SIGNS OUT THERE. IS THAT THE CASE? DO YOU KNOW OR ANYBODY. YEAH. JOHN ON. WE HAVE PARKING ON ONE SIDE AND NO PARKING ON THE OTHER.

GOTCHA. YEAH, WE HAVE IT DESIGNATED WHERE IT'S ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR THE OTHER.

AND THOSE ARE IDENTIFIED IN OUR IN OUR BEACH ACCESS PLAN, OF WHICH SIDE OF THE ROAD.

AND WE. YES, SIR. GOTCHA, THANK YOU. AND THEN THIS IS ALREADY ZONED TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT? YES. AND SO THEY'RE ASKING US FOR PRIVATE ROADS.

DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA IF IT'S GOING TO BE GATED? I GUESS MAYBE THAT'S A BETTER QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT. BETTER QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT. BUT TYPICALLY PRIVATE STREETS ARE GATED.

OKAY. AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE THAT THEY'RE, THAT, FROM WHAT WE CAN SEE HERE, EVERYTHING ELSE IS WITHIN THE RANGE OF A TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE, RIGHT? YES. AND THAT WAS VERIFIED DURING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL I GOT. ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT SO WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR CASE 25P-043.

IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? SIR, IF YOU'LL STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND SIGN IN FOR THE RECORD.

ALL RIGHT. I'M MANNY MEHOS. I'M THE OWNER OF GREEN EAST REALTY, WHICH IS THE DEVELOPER.

OKAY, AWESOME. THIS IS ZACH. GO AHEAD. YEAH. ZACH BROUSSARD WITH CARBO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE.

WE WERE THE MASTER PLANNERS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I GUESS YOU WANT TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR PROJECT, AND THEN WE CAN MAYBE ASK SOME QUESTIONS? SURE.

SO ONE OF THE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN CONCEIVING THIS FOR A LONG TIME, AND WE'RE UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW.

IN FACT, WE'RE AT A POINT NOW WHERE WE HAVE COMPLETED ALL THE MOST OF THE UTILITIES.

WE'VE DONE SEWER, WE'VE DONE DRAINAGE, WE'VE DONE OUR STORM DRAINAGE.

WE'RE FINISHING WATER RIGHT NOW. THIS. OH. I'M SORRY.

YEAH, YEAH. I'M SORRY. WE'RE FINISHING WATER RIGHT NOW.

STREET, THE STREET DIRT WORK WILL START THIS MONTH, AND THE CONCRETE PROBABLY IN DECEMBER.

SO WE'LL BE, YOU KNOW, PRETTY FAR ALONG ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE IN DECEMBER AND INTO JANUARY, OUR AMENITY CENTER, WHICH IS THE AREA WHERE YOU SEE A LOT OF PRINT, A LOT OF LABELING UP TOP IN THE IN SORT OF ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

THAT'S WHAT'S SORT OF SEPARATES US FROM A NORMAL FROM A TYPICAL WEST END DEVELOPMENT.

IT WILL INCLUDE PICKLEBALL COURTS, A POOL, A GYM, SOME OTHER THINGS.

WE ALSO HAVE DOG PARKS. WE HAVE A TWO MILE TRAIL SYSTEM.

SO IT'S BUILT ON AMENITIES. SO THAT'S ONE, THAT'S THE MAIN THING THAT'S DRIVING US FOR THE PRIVATE STREETS IS IT'S GOING TO ATTRACT A LOT OF ATTENTION. AND IT'S A SECURITY ISSUE IS WHAT IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF, A LOT OF SUCCESS IN GAINING ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THIS.

WE'RE TRYING WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR NEIGHBORS ON EVERYTHING INCLUDING BERMUDA BEACH AND, YOU KNOW, WE THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS, YOU KNOW, BY THE TIME IT'S FINISHED AND THE PRIVATE PARKING I DON'T THINK IS GOING TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO IT WILL GIVE US THE KIND OF SECURITY WE NEED.

BUT THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF PARKING DOWN THERE.

THERE REALLY IS. AND KYLE'S DESCRIBED IT, BUT IT'S, I WENT OUT TO ELEVEN MILE ROAD TODAY AND THAT PARKING LOT WAS EMPTY.

[00:30:07]

SO NOW IT'S A WEEKDAY AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT I'VE OBSERVED SO FAR, I THINK WE'RE GOOD. SO ANYWAY, ZACH, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS.

YES I DO. WANTED TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION ABOUT THE RESERVES.

THE RESERVES ALONG THE BEACHFRONT LOTS. THE INTENTION IS TO DO DUNE WALKOVERS THERE.

THE RESERVES IN OTHER LOCATIONS ARE BEING USED FOR THE DRAINAGE WAYS AND TRAIL GREENWAY NETWORK THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

WE HAVE NOT SUBMITTED THE DUNE WALKOVERS, BUT WE WILL BE SUBMITTING THAT YOU KNOW, VERY SOON.

WE HAD TO GET THROUGH THE DUNE ENHANCEMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE BUILDING THEM AT THE CORRECT ELEVATION.

SO WE HAVE DRAWINGS MOSTLY COMPLETED, BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ABOVE THE DUNES AND MEETING ALL THE CITY'S ORDINANCES AND CODES FOR THE WALKOVERS THEMSELVES.

BUT YEAH, WE ARE NOT DRAINING TO THE BEACH. THOSE LOTS ARE ALL DRAINING BACK TO THE NORTH.

OKAY. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WHERE, WHAT AREA? SO IN YOUR AREA THAT'S GOT BEACHFRONT, YOU, YOUR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT PART OF THE BEACH OR DO YOU HAVE WALKOVERS FOR THEM OR.

I MEAN, HOW IS YOUR YOUR COMMUNITY GOING TO. SO THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT WAS ACTUALLY LAID OUT BASED ON A SERIES OF GREENWAY NETWORKS.

SO THERE ARE A SERIES OF VERTICAL CONNECTIONS THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE IDEA THAT EVEN THE FOLKS THAT ARE ON THE FAR EAST SIDE WILL HAVE A TRAIL OF SOME SORT THAT THEY CAN GET FROM THEIR HOUSE TO THE BEACH THROUGH ONE OF THOSE GREENWAYS.

SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE, I THINK, ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SEVEN WALKOVERS KIND OF PLAN.

SO ALONG THE BEACHFRONT LOTS YOU CAN SEE EVERY 3 OR 4 LOTS.

WE HAVE A RESERVE TO PROVIDE AS MUCH ACCESS AS WE CAN, SO.

AND EACH OF THOSE KIND OF GREENWAYS GOES NORTH AND CONNECTS TO THE SUCCESSIVE ROWS OF LOTS AS YOU MOVE FORWARD.

SO THE WHOLE IDEA IS TO TRY TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH THE SERIES OF GREENWAYS AND ALLOW EVERYBODY TO ACCESS THE BEACH WITHOUT HAVING TO ACTUALLY WALK ON THE ROAD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TRAIL SYSTEM AS KIND OF THE PRIMARY AMENITY.

RIGHT? YEAH. YOU GOT SOMETHING? OKAY. SO THE SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE EASTWARD PORTION, THE ONES THAT ARE CLOSEST TO PABST ROAD, ARE GOING TO HAVE A MEANS TO STAY WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR PROPERTY TO GET TO THE BEACH ACCESS POINTS.

YES. THAT'S CORRECT. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THOSE ORANGE LOTS THAT ARE LABELED 223 TO 230, THERE'S SORT OF A SQUIGGLY GRAY LINE JUST TO THE NORTH OF THOSE LOTS.

AND IF YOU FOLLOW THAT SQUIGGLY GRAY LINE, IT KIND OF CONNECTS TO OTHER WALKWAYS THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT, SO. YEAH. AND I THINK THE I MEAN, THIS IS WE'RE ALL GUESSING ON THIS, BUT I'M NOT WE'RE NOT GUESSING. ZACH'S VERY SCIENTIFIC, BUT I'M GUESSING THAT THE MOST OF THE ACTION, MOST OF THE ACTIVITY AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FOCUSED IN WHAT WE CALL SECTION ONE, WHICH IS THE THE WIDE SECTION ON THE WEST SIDE.

AND THAT INCLUDES PARTICULARLY THE AMENITY CENTER.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH THERE, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR WEBSITE AND WE'RE IMPROVING THAT, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S PRETTY INVOLVED. THERE'S A LOT GOING ON THERE.

SO MOST OF THE MOST OF THE MOVEMENT WILL BE EAST TO WEST.

I DON'T THINK YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF OUR HOMEOWNERS GOING TO PABST ROAD AND ACCESSING THE BEACH THROUGH PABST ROAD THERE, PROBABLY, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ACTIVITIES ON THE BEACH AS WELL.

SO IT'S, THE, IT'S ALL CONCENTRATED INTO SECTION ONE OR WHERE THAT'S WHERE WE'RE MOST OF THE FLOW IS BEING DIRECTED.

ANYBODY ELSE? I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. SO THE FIRST ONE IS YOU SAY ACTIVITIES ON THE BEACH.

CAN YOU HAVE SOME IDEA OF THAT? YEAH. I MEAN, WE'RE HOPING, IT'S NOT A COMMERCIAL ZONE, SO WE CAN'T HAVE A BEACH, WE CAN'T HAVE, LIKE THE GALVEZ BEACH CLUB. WE'D LIKE TO GET THAT CHANGED THOUGH, SO WE'LL MAYBE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT THAT IN THE FUTURE.

BUT IT'S WE'RE GOING TO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE UMBRELLAS.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SERVICE FOR ALL THE BEACH UMBRELLAS, CHAIRS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

I, I HAVE A HOUSE IN BEACHSIDE VILLAGE AND I'M ON THE BEACH FRONT, AND I WATCH PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH THESE BIG CANOPIES AND EVERYTHING EVERY DAY.

AND THEY, AND INSTEAD OF TAKING THEM BACK AT NIGHT AND COMING BACK AND, YOU KNOW, REBUILDING THEM, THEY LEAVE THEM THERE OVERNIGHT. SO IT'S JUST NOT WORKING OUT.

I MEAN, BEACHSIDE IS A GREAT PLACE AND I'LL ALWAYS HAVE A HOUSE THERE.

BUT THERE'S THE, THOSE PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING AND WE'RE JUST GOING, WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE A SERVICE THAT AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S A, IT, I GUESS IT CAN'T BE COMMERCIAL YET, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT FITS IN THAT.

[00:35:05]

BUT WE'RE STILL GOING TO SUPPLY IT FOR THE HOMEOWNERS.

GOTCHA. ANYWAY, SO. LET ME SEE HERE, AND THEN I GUESS AND JUST TO CLARIFY, IT'LL BE GATED BOTH THE ENTRANCES YOU'RE PLANNING ON PRIVATE. IT'S THE MAIN ENTRANCE, OF COURSE. IS THE RIGHT THERE IN, IT'S CALLED ENTRANCE.

IS THAT CALLED ENTRANCE BOULEVARD? YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S ACTUALLY THAT'S ACTUALLY WE'VE NAMED IT ROSEATE BOULEVARD.

BUT IT'S NOT REALLY BOULEVARD. IT ONLY LASTS THAT ONE SECTION AND THAT'S IT, THEN YOU END UP ON A GREENWAY WITH, BUT YEAH, THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THE ALL THE TRAFFIC WILL BE COMING IN. THEY'LL BE GATED. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH. THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S WHAT I GOT. FOUR LANES SO.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF YOU'LL BE SEATED, WE'LL HAVE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT HERE. IT LOOKS LIKE. OH I'M SORRY.

SORRY. JUST THOUGHT OF IT. SO, YOUR SOLE ENTRANCE IS GOING TO BE ON 3005, OR.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE INTEREST ON PABST. WELL, NO.

YEAH, WELL, 3005 IS THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

YOU SAY ENTRANCE? ENTRANCE. OH I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.

WELL, AS FAR AS. YEAH. GO AHEAD. I'M. PERHAPS IT'S.

YEAH, THERE IS A THERE IS A ROADWAY CONNECTION AT PABST ROAD.

WE HAVEN'T DETERMINED WHETHER THAT'S AN EXIT ONLY OR AN ENTRANCE EXIT.

SO AGAIN, WE HAVEN'T MADE THAT DETERMINATION YET.

YEAH, THAT'S, THAT MIGHT BE REGULATED. I'M NOT SURE.

WELL, THAT'S. MY CONCERN IS ABOUT TRAFFIC. RIGHT.

3005 YEAH. AND IF YOU'VE ADDRESSED THAT OR HAVE YOU TALKED TO TXDOT OR ANYBODY ABOUT THAT.

NOT FOR THE ENTRANCE AT PABST. OKAY. WE HAVE YEAH, WE HAVE A, WE HAVE AN APPLICATION WITH TXDOT ON BOTH THE LANES HEADING WEST AND EAST. AND WE HAVE TURNING LANES IN BOTH OF THEM.

AND THEN WE HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR THE ENTRANCE.

THE WIDTH OF THE ENTRANCE. ONCE IT GOES THROUGH THE, IT GOES THROUGH THE ENTRANCE GATE IT'S NOT JURISDICTION OF TXDOT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

RIGHT. AND SO YOU, SO THAT APPLICATION IS NOT GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY THE PRIVATIZATION OF STREETS.

THE GATES WILL BE, YOU KNOW, NOT RIGHT ON THE STREET OR RIGHT ON 3005.

SO YOU ARE ADDRESSING TRAFFIC ISSUES, MITIGATION.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S WHAT COUNTS. YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

YOU SAID YOUR APPLICATION TO TXDOT IS TO INCORPORATE A TURNING LANE.

YEAH. SO IF YOU'RE TRAVELING EAST ON 3005 YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PULL OFF, KIND OF PULL OFF AND THEN PULL IN, YOU KNOW GATED GATES ESPECIALLY OUT ON THE BEACH.

HAVE THEY DON'T ALWAYS WORK WITH THE SEA WATER.

I MEAN THE SALT WATER. SO YOU KNOW, THAT THAT COULD CREATE A HAZARD FOR BECAUSE PEOPLE GO PRETTY FAST ON 3005 WITH THE CAR THAT CAN'T TURN IN.

SO YOU ARE TRYING TO HAVE A LANE WHERE THEY CAN PULL OFF AND PULL IN, CORRECT? RIGHT. YES. THAT'S CORRECT. THERE'S A TURN LANE FOR EASTBOUND TRAFFIC SO THAT THERE'S QUEUING AVAILABLE.

NOT IN A TRAVEL LANE. YEAH. YEAH, BUT, AND THOSE GATES WILL BE MANNED.

SO IF THERE IS A MALFUNCTION, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO OPEN IT IMMEDIATELY.

THERE'LL BE A, WE HAVE A, WE'LL HAVE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GATE A, YOU KNOW, AIR CONDITIONED WHATEVER, GATE CABIN. AND, AND THEY'LL BE ALWAYS SOMEONE THERE 24 OVER SEVEN BECAUSE OF THE SECURITY.

YEAH, GOTCHA. ANYBODY ELSE? YEAH. YEAH. ARE ALL THE HOMES IN THERE REQUIRED OR BEING DETERMINED TO BE PERMITTED HAVING FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS? THAT'S NOT. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SECOND EXIT FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

I'M SORRY. WHAT, THE HOMES HAVE FIRE SUPPRESSION EQUIPMENT REALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT A FIRE VEHICLE CAN GET IN AND OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I DO WANT TO REMIND THE COMMISSION THAT THIS IS A REQUEST FOR PRIVATIZATION OF THE STREETS.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN GOING A LITTLE BIT FAR IN SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS.

SO I JUST WANT US TO REALLY FOCUS BACK ON WHAT THE APPLICANTS REQUEST IS, NOT ABOUT WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL HOMES ARE GOING TO HAVE OR HAVE NOT INSIDE OF IT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU DONNA. ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. SO NOW WE'LL MOVE TO SOME PUBLIC COMMENT.

SORRY. LET ME SEE HERE ON MY SCRIPT. IF WE HAVE ANYBODY WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM.

YES, MA'AM. PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME. SIGN IN AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. MY NAME IS BARBARA STEPP. I HAVE A HOUSE THAT'S GOING TO BACK UP TO THIS PROPERTY.

WHAT ARE Y'ALL'S PLANS TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM IF YOU HAVE A PARKING AREA OR HOUSES THERE TO KEEP THEM CUTTING THROUGH.

[00:40:08]

UNDER OUR HOUSE ACROSS TO THE BEACH. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS, CAN WE? NO. YEAH. SORRY.

THEY CANNOT ANSWER BACK AND FORTH. BUT THEY'VE HEARD, YOU KNOW, ALL THE COMMENTS, AND THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE, TOO, SO THEY CAN ALWAYS ADDRESS IT. YEAH. WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD LATER.

THANK YOU DONNA. YEAH. WE CAN'T RESPOND TO QUESTIONS.

ALL WE CAN DO IS LISTEN. SO. SO THERE'S NOTHING, NO PLAN.

THEN YOU KNOW, WE'LL NEVER KNOW. THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE.

YOU'RE FREE TO SPEAK WITH. YES. SIR. SIR, I'M SORRY, MA'AM, YOU'RE FREE TO SPEAK WITH THE APPLICANTS AFTER ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENT HEARING IS DONE AND THE HEARING IS SETTLED. ALRIGHTY. THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE ON THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM? MAYBE. YES, SIR. PLEASE STEP FORWARD. STATE YOUR NAME. SIGN IN FOR THE RECORD.

HI, MY NAME IS DAVID HANSON. I ALSO HAVE THE SAME SITUATION AND THE SAME CONCERN.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THERE IS A CONCERN ABOUT THE BEACH ACCESS FROM ANY HOMES TO THE BEACH BEHIND OUR CURRENT EXISTING HOMES. JUST WANT TO REGISTER THAT.

I HOPE THAT'S FIGURED OUT MORE THAN JUST A GREENWAY WALKWAY AND TRUST THAT SOMEBODY'S GOING TO WALK OVER TO THE WEST TO ACCESS THE BEACH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SIR. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHTY. LOOKS LIKE NOBODY ELSE. SO I GUESS WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE BACK TO COMMISSION FOR ACTION.

ANYBODY HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE 25P-043, AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF.

I'LL SECOND THAT. ANY DISCUSSION? YES. I DO WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.

AS I REVIEWED ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TODAY, IT'S OPENED MY EYES TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE INCORPORATED, I THINK, 6 OR 7 WALKOVERS IN THEIR AREA TO THE BEACH, WHICH I DIDN'T PICK UP ON THE INITIAL REVIEW.

I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE PLANTING VEGETATION AROUND IT.

THAT MIGHT LIMIT THE ACCESS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD THROUGH OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS.

I CAN'T SPEAK ON THAT, BUT IT'S MY OPINION HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS AFTER THEY'VE CLARIFIED WHAT THIS SPECIFICALLY MIGHT, THE CONCERNS WERE FOR TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? JOHN? YEAH.

I WOULD JUST STATE AGAIN THAT THE PUD, THE PURPOSE OF THE PUD IS TO ALLOW FOR PRIVATE STREETS AND, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUE WITH THE PRIVATE STREETS.

I MEAN, I'VE DEVELOPED 11 SUBDIVISIONS, AND 10 OF THOSE WERE PRIVATE GATED COMMUNITIES.

SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING FOR THE ISLAND TO HAVE THAT KIND OF COMMUNITY COME UP, AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE IT.

MY ONLY CONCERN WAS WITH THE PARKING, AND KYLE CLARIFIED THAT I MEAN, I HAD A HOUSE IN BERMUDA BEACH FROM 99 TO 2011, AND THAT SECTION OF BEACH IN FRONT OF THIS PROPERTY WAS NEVER OPEN TO VEHICULAR ACCESS.

SO IT'S A NON-ISSUE. SO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE? ALRIGHTY. YEAH. I'LL LET GO. JOHN'S COMMENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A PRIVATE STREET.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DECIDING TODAY. SO I GUESS WITH THAT SAID WE'LL TAKE ACTION.

ALL IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. LOOKS LIKE IT'S UNANIMOUS.

NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT CASE. LET'S SEE.
