SO I WANT TO REMIND THOSE AND THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING.

IT'S NICE TO SEE SOME FOLKS HERE PARTICIPATING IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO THERE WILL BE NO VOTE ON THIS NEXT ITEM.

SO IT'S JUST A PUBLIC HEARING AND YOU'LL GET A CHANCE TO COME SPEAK YOUR PIECE. AND 24BF-016.

GOOD MORNING PLANNING COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR DUE MITIGATION ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW DUNE WALKOVER.

TO REPLACE AN EXISTING DUNE WALKOVER, MITIGATION IS REQUIRED FOR UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS TO THE DUNE AND DUNE VEGETATION THAT WILL OCCUR DURING THE NEW DUNE WALKOVER CONSTRUCTION AND EXISTING DUNE WALKOVER REMOVAL. THIS PROJECT HAD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR MITIGATION AT THE FEBRUARY 4TH, 2025 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. SINCE THAT PUBLIC HEARING, THE APPLICANT HAS HAS RECONFIGURED THE PROPOSED WALKOVER, WHICH RESULTED IN REEVALUATION OF THE ORIGINAL MITIGATION.

THE CHANGE IN PLANS RESULTED IN THE NEED FOR A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE NEW PROPOSED MITIGATION.

THE ADDRESS IS 415 EAST BEACH DRIVE. THE PROPERTY IS LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS ISLANDER EAST CONDO IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF GALVESTON, TEXAS. VACANT PROPERTY IS LOCATED TO THE NORTH, EAST AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

A BEACH AND DUNE SYSTEM IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

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

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

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

ON THE NEXT SLIDE IS THE PROPERTY SURVEY SHOWING THE EXISTING DUNE WALKOVER.

THE NEXT SLIDE IS THE SITE PLAN SHOWING THE EXISTING DUNE WALKOVER AND THE PROPOSED DUNE WALKOVER.

ON THE FOLLOWING TWO SLIDES. WE HAVE THE PROJECT PLANS FOR THE PROPOSED DUNE WALKOVER.

NEXT. AND THEN THE NEXT SLIDE IS AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH SHOWING THE EXISTING DUNE WALKOVER AND THE PROPOSED DUNE WALKOVER IN RED.

AND THEN FINALLY WE HAVE TWO PHOTOS OF THE PROPOSED MITIGATION SITE.

AND THEN THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S REPORT. AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. AND JUST TO REITERATE, REITERATE WHAT RUSTY SAID, THIS IS JUST A PUBLIC COMMENT. NO ACTION IS NECESSARY FROM COUNCIL OR FROM COMMISSIONERS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SURE, JOHN. GOOD MORNING HUNTER. THE PLANS SEEM TO INDICATE THAT THE WALKOVER, THE EXTENSION IS MORE THAN TEN FEET BEYOND THE LINE OF VEGETATION.

AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS KIND OF THE HARD LINE THAT WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE GLO.

SO IT ALLOWS US TO GO FURTHER THAN THAT IS SECTION H12 OF OUR PLAN ALLOWS ALTERNATIVE DESIGNS FOR PUBLIC WALKOVERS.

SO THIS ISN'T ONE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, CERTIFIED IN OUR PLAN AS PUBLIC, BUT WE VIEW IT AS PUBLIC BECAUSE IT'S A, YOU KNOW, A HIGH TRAFFIC ENVIRONMENT. YOU KNOW, IT'S A CONDOMINIUM THAT'S GOING TO SERVICE 100 UNITS. WE'RE EXPECTING A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE ADA USAGE. SO THAT KIND OF CRITERIA ALLOWS US TO ELEVATE IT TO THAT NEXT LEVEL OF CAN WE DO ALTERNATIVE DESIGNS FOR THIS PROJECT? AND WE DECIDED, YES, THAT WE COULD. SO THIS IS ONLY GOING TO GO OUT 26FT ON THE LINE OF VEGETATION WE VIEW THIS AS IS FAIRLY MINIMAL.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER 140 OR SO FEET FROM THE MEAN HIGH TIDE LINE.

WE DON'T VIEW THIS AS AN OBSTRUCTION. WE THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THAT WAS PROPOSED.

ALL RIGHT AS A MINIMUM. WE USE THE SAME ENGINEER ON A PROJECT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD FIVE YEARS AGO, AND WE HAD FOUR WALKOVERS ABOUT THE SAME LENGTH. AND AFTER FIVE YEARS, WE HAD 60%. I WOULD ESTIMATE 60% OF THE NAILS.

GALVANIZED NAILS NOT RUSTED, BUT DISINTEGRATED TO THE POINT WHERE THE BOARDS WERE FALLING OFF GOING INTO THE DUNES.

SO WE HAVE GONE BACK AND INSTALLED 19,000 TO DATE, 19,000 STAINLESS STEEL FASTENERS.

[00:05:01]

CAN THE CITY OF GALVESTON CHANGE ITS RULES? WHERE FOR WALKOVERS IN THIS LOCATION, THEY REQUIRE STAINLESS STEEL FASTENERS INSTEAD OF ALLOWING GALVANIZED. THAT WOULD BE GETTING INTO MEANS AND METHODS.

WE CAN'T REALLY DICTATE, YOU KNOW, WHAT TYPE OF BOLT THEY'RE GOING TO USE? AN ENGINEER HAS COME FORWARD AND STAMPED PLANS.

NOW, IF THE DEVELOPER PLANNER WANTS TO COME IN AND DO THAT UPON THEMSELVES, THAT'S THEIR PREROGATIVE.

AND COMMISSIONER I WILL SAY THAT IT'S AN EXCELLENT OBSERVATION THAT SOME INFORMATION THAT CAN BE PROVIDED TO THE BUILDING DIVISION, WE DO HAVE ANOTHER QUASI JUDICIAL BOARD THAT WILL LOOK AT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGES TO SOME OF THE MATERIALS THAT ARE USED IN SOME OF THE PROJECTS, AND SO THAT'S AN EXCELLENT RECOMMENDATION THAT CAN BE MADE TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL TO LOOK INTO.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? STAN.

HEY, I JUST NOTICED THAT ON HERE, IT'S SHOWING THE PORTION OF THIS IS A CONCRETE WALKWAY.

SO IS THAT GOING TO BE OUR STANDARD BREAKAWAY SQUARE CONCRETE? SO THEY WERE ALLOWED TO USE THE CONCRETE WALKWAY JUST BECAUSE IT'S IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN AID WITH ADA.

SO TAC JUST RECENTLY CHANGED, I THINK A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THAT ALLOWED FOR CONCRETE PATHWAYS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ADA FOR A WALKWAY OF THIS KIND.

SO WE PROBABLY WILL SEE MORE LIKE IT. THE CONCRETE'S OUTSIDE OF 75FT FROM THE NORTH TOE OF THE DUNE.

SO IT'S WITHIN AN AREA THAT CAN USE CONCRETE.

WE DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE USED WIDELY, BUT THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE IT CAN BE USED.

OKAY. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? JUST A COMMENT. THIS ISN'T A CREATING BEACH. AND THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, IS THAT CORRECT? GOOD NEWS FOR YOU GUYS. ALRIGHT. AND WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, IF YOU'RE ON THIS SIDE, IN THE FRONT, WE'LL MOVE FROM THIS SIDE TO THE BACK.

IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? NO? ALRIGHT, THEN WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING THIS BACK TO COMMISSION FOR ACTION.

WELL, I SHOULDN'T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT. [LAUGHTER].

[LAUGHTER]. YEAH, I NEEDED THAT BLOODY MARY, DANIEL.

[LAUGHTER]. IT SHOULD BE DONE AROUND LUNCHTIME. ALRIGHT. 6.B 26P-00.

[6.B.2 26P-005 (4015 11 Mile Rd) Public Hearing for a minor plat to reconfigure one lot into two. Property is legally described as Lot 45R Nottingham Campsite Replat Lots 45 & 47 (2025) Abstract 121 in the City and County of Galveston, Texas. Applicant: Tricon Land Surveying Property Owners: Wendy Allen and Chuck Purcell]

I'M SORRY. WE ARE GOING TO. OH IT'S ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING 26P-005.

YES. SO THIS IS 26P-005. 4015 11 MILE ROAD. AND THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A REPLAT.

THIS THERE WAS 20 PUBLIC NOTICES SENT AND ONE COMMENT FROM PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

ITS COMMENT STATES THAT PERMITTING FOR A PRIVATE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM, ALSO KNOWN AS A SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM, IS DONE BY THE GALVESTON COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT.

THE PROPOSED LOTS AND LOT 45 ARE REPLAT NOTTINGHAM CAMPSITE ARE 0.209 ACRES LOT ONE AND 0.43 ACRES LOT TWO. THESE TWO LOTS WOULD BE LESS THAN ONE HALF ACRE REQUIREMENT BASED ON BASED UPON THIS INFORMATION.

THE PRIVATE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM WILL NOT BE APPROVED BY THE GALVESTON COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT AND SHOULD NOT BE APPROVED BY THE CITY.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A MINOR PLAT TO RECONFIGURE ONE LOT INTO TWO LOTS IN RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY R-1 ZONING DISTRICT.

THE SUBJECT AREAS CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A HOUSE ON THE LOT.

THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, CHAPTER 212.015 REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING FOR MINOR REPLAT MINOR PLATS, EXCUSE ME. INCREASING LOT DENSITY IN A SINGLE FAMILY ZONING DISTRICT.

HOUSE BILL 4087, PASSED IN 2023, ALLOWS THE GALVESTON COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT TO PERMIT RESIDENTIAL SEPTIC SYSTEMS ON PARCELS OF LESS THAN ONE HALF ACRE GIVEN OTHER CRITERIA.

GIVEN OTHER CRITERIA ARE MET. REGARDLESS, THE CITY DOES NOT ENFORCE NOR ENJOIN IN GALVESTON COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT REGULATIONS.

CASE 26P-005 WILL BE APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS 1 AND STANDARD CONDITIONS 2, TO 3 AND WE HAVE THE PROPERTY AS IT STANDS TODAY.

NEXT PLEASE. THEN WE HAVE LOOKING NORTH, EAST AND SOUTH.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE EXHIBITS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.

THIS IS A SURVEY AS WELL AS THE REPLAT. AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF REPORT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT

[00:10:06]

JUST BECAUSE WE WERE JUST SPEAKING ABOUT THIS EARLIER.

SO WE'RE HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A MINOR PLAT.

CORRECT? AND SO THOSE REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING BUT NOT ACTION.

AND THERE ARE OTHER PLANNING PROCESSES THAT CAN BE ALSO DONE ADMINISTRATIVELY.

SO JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THIS IS THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

WE'RE NOT VOTING ON IT. SO I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT FOR THOSE THAT HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO ANY OTHER COMMENTS? THEN WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO? IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? NOPE? ANYBODY LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? NOPE? THEN WE'LL BRING IT BACK UP.

THEN WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.

[7.A.3. 26P-002 (Adjacent to 2910 Mary Moody Northern Blvd/53rd Street and 3020 Mary Moody Northern Blvd/53rd Street) Request for an Abandonment of approximately 4,796 square feet of alley right-of-way.

Applicant: Howie Bently Adjacent Property Owner: Bent on Healthy Living, LLC Easement Holder: City of Galveston]

SEVEN.

26P-002. THIS IS ADJACENT TO 2910 MARY MOODY, NORTHERN BOULEVARD, 53RD STREET AND 3020.

MARY MOODY, NORTHERN 53RD STREET. IT'S A REQUEST FOR ABANDONMENT.

PUBLIC NOTICE IS SENT FOR 16 TO RETURN TO THOSE TWO IN FAVOR.

NO OBJECTION FROM CITY DEPARTMENTS OR PRIVATE UTILITIES.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING ABANDONMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 4796FT² OF ALLEY RIGHT OF WAY WITHIN THE LARGE BLOCK BORDERED BY AVENUE U, MARY MOODY, NORTHERN BOULEVARD, 53RD STREET, AND FORT CROCKETT.

THE APPLICANT OWNS BOTH TRACKS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ALLEY AND IS SEEKING ABANDONMENT OF THE FULL WIDTH.

WHILE THE ALLEYS HISTORY IS UNCERTAIN AND MAY BE A REMNANT OF FORT CROCKETT, OR A LATER DEVELOPMENT THAN THE ALLEY IS UNIMPROVED.

IMPACT ON THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. STAFF FINDS THE ABANDONMENT WILL NOT HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, THE ALLEYS NOT PAVED AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF USE.

IT ENDS AT THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE EAST, WHICH IS THE HOTEL SAN LUIS PARKING LOT.

STAFF FINDS THAT THE REQUEST GENERALLY CONFORMS TO THE CRITERIA FOR PERMANENT STREET CLOSURE.

THE ALLEY IS NOT COMMONLY IN USE AND TERMINATES INTO AN EXISTING PRIVATE PROPERTY.

THERE ARE NO KNOWN UTILITIES TRANSVERSING THE ALLEY, ALTHOUGH A WATER LINE CROSSES IT.

REGARDLESS, NO CITY DEPARTMENT OR OUTSIDE UTILITIES SUBMITTED OBJECTIONS TO THE ABANDONMENT.

CITY COUNCIL. COUNCIL HAS THE FINAL DECISION REGARDING REQUEST FOR ABANDONMENT AND WILL HEAR THE REQUEST ON MARCH 26TH, 2026. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL WITH SPECIFIC CONDITIONS 1 AND 2 AND STANDARD CONDITIONS 3, 3 THROUGH 7. AND ON THE SCREEN WE HAVE AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH THAT SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE ALLEY OUTLINED IN RED.

AND THEN HERE IS THE SURVEY SHOWING THE PROPERTIES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ALLEY AND SOME REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOGRAPHS SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ALLEY IS UNIMPROVED. AND THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S REPORT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. CATHERINE, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? JUST ONE THERE'S NO ACCESS FROM THE PUBLIC STREET? NO, THERE ISN'T EVEN A DRIVEWAY.

OKAY, GREAT THANK YOU AND THAT'S JUST TO INCORPORATE THIS PARCEL INTO THE OTHER PARCEL THAT THEY HAVE? CORRECT. THAT'S STANDARD AT THE END OF AN ABANDONMENT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALL RIGHT THEN WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? YES, SIR. IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD, TELL US YOUR NAME.

WHAT YOU GOT GOING ON? WE MIGHT ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS.

MY NAME IS HOWIE BENTLEY. MY WIFE, RENEE, AND I OWN BENT ON HEALTHY LIVING WHICH WE BOUGHT THREE YEARS AGO.

IT'S A WELLNESS CENTER FOR COMMUNITY TO USE. WE HAVE DIFFERENT VARIOUS COURSES OF EXERCISE.

SO WE KNEW THE PEOPLE AT THE BOY SCOUTS AND ALWAYS TOLD THEM IF IT EVER CAME AVAILABLE FOR SALE, PLEASE LET US KNOW HER. YOU KNOW, BUSINESS HAS OUTGROWN THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE IN WITH THREE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PILATES, YOGA AND BAR. SO THIS WAS MAINLY PURCHASED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE MORE ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN AND EXERCISE.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT IS, YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY AND BEING ABLE TO HELP.

AND ORIGINALLY I'D STARTED TO JUST BE ABLE TO TRY TO GET A TEMPORARY LICENSE TO PUT JUST A.

FENCE, IF YOU COULD SAY WE'VE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED FOR A FENCE TO MATCH THE OTHER ONE.

BUT THEY TOLD ME, WELL, YOU CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE THAT'S ONLY A TEMPORARY FENCE. AND SO I ASKED THE CITY, WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT? AND THEY SAID, WELL, I GUESS YOU CAN BUY IT FROM IN. AND SO I SAID, OKAY, WELL, I'LL LOOK INTO THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN CALLED AN ALLEY.

IT'S BEEN CALLED A RIGHT OF WAY. IT'S BEEN CALLED A UTILITY EASEMENT.

AND WE THINK IT'S PART OF FORT CROCKETT BACK IN THE 1900S, BECAUSE THE BUILDING WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WAS A HORSE STABLE.

RIGHT NEXT TO IT WAS THE YARD WHERE THE HORSES AND STUFF STAYED.

NEITHER HERE NOR THERE. WE AFTER WE GOT TURNED DOWN ON THAT, IT'S LIKE, OKAY, WELL, WE MADE THE APPLICATION,

[00:15:02]

GOT THE APPRAISAL ON IT AND STUFF, AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT.

ONE OF OUR BIG DEALS OF WANTING TO PUT THE FENCE.

IF I COULD SHARE THIS ACROSS THE FRONT. LIKE I SAID, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED TO GO ALL THE WAY ACROSS TO WHERE IT BUTTS INTO TILLMAN'S BUILDINGS AND EVERYTHING. WAS THE SAFETY OF OUR CLIENTS.

THOSE CLASSES START AT AROUND 5:00 A.M. IN THE MORNING.

80% OF OUR CLIENTS ARE WOMEN. THIS IS AN AREA WHERE A LOT OF HOMELESS HAVE STAYED.

WE'VE HAD FENCES IN THE BACK SINCE WE'VE EVEN TAKEN OVER, CUT OUT, COME INTO THE PROPERTY.

SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY I WAS WANTING TO GO THE 20 FOOT AND JUST GO ACROSS WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND MONEY TO BUY WHOLE AREA THAT WE'RE REALLY NOT GOING TO USE, OTHER THAN BEING ABLE TO PUT A FENCE ACROSS IT.

SO WE LEFT IT AT THAT AND SAID, OKAY THAT DIDN'T FLY VERY WELL.

SO IT WAS LIKE, OKAY, WHAT'S MY NEXT STEP? YOU KNOW, I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT A PERSON, A LADY BE YOU KNOW, WE HAVE UTMB STUDENTS THAT DO THE BEGINNING OF OUR CLASSES AND STUFF.

THEY GET THERE AT 5:00 A.M. IN THE MORNING, AND I DON'T NEED A HOMELESS PERSON SITTING ON THE FRONT PORCH WAITING WHEN THEY WALK IN.

AND SO THAT WAS MY STEPS TO BE ABLE TO PUT JUST THE FENCE ACROSS THE FRONT.

AND NOW WE'RE INTO THE BUYING THE WHOLE ALLEY EASEMENT UTILITY.

WE DID HAVE 811 COME OUT AND THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO UTILITIES RUN THROUGH THIS.

BUT IT'S INTO TILLMAN'S PARKING LOT OF SAN LUIS.

SO AGAIN, WE'RE STILL KIND OF SURPRISED THE MONEY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S BUSINESS. YOU GOT TO CHUNK IT UP AND GOING TO GO TO THE ROAD AND GET OUR PROPERTY BUILT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING THE FINAL STAGES OF PERMITTING ON.

SO REALLY ALL I GOT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? AND. YES, SIR, IF YOU DON'T MIND, BEFORE YOU LEAVE, SIGN IN FOR US.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? YEAH SO APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT. IS IT? IS IT GOING TO BE DEVELOPED IN ANY WAY LIKE FOR EXERCISE AREA OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, OR YOU JUST WANT IT BASICALLY FOR A WALKWAY BETWEEN THE TWO? IT'S BASICALLY IF YOU LOOK WHERE THE BLACK FENCE IS ON THE LEFT PICTURE, THERE'S A WOOD FENCE RIGHT BEHIND IT.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A JUST BE ABLE TO GET FROM IT'S A SAME PROPERTIES.

IT'S JUST TWO BUILDINGS. YEAH. WE'VE GOT TO HAVE IT.

SO IT'S NOT AS FAR AS YOU KNOW. ORIGINALLY I HAD PERMITTED TO TRY TO EXPAND PARKING.

AND DONALD HAD SAID, WELL, YOU CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IT'S A RIGHT OF WAY.

I'M LIKE, OKAY. SO THEN WE JUST LEFT IT WHERE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALREADY GOT APPROVAL FOR THE BACK LOT AND THE FRONT LOT TO BE ABLE TO JUST RECOAT IT BECAUSE THE, THE ASPHALT IS ALL BROKE UP.

AND SO WE'RE PUTTING IT DOWN. IF YOU SEE THE BUILDING AT 2910, IT WAS PRETTY BAD SHAPE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT.

THREE DIFFERENT DAYCARE CENTERS AND, I DON'T KNOW, LIMOUSINE SERVICE, I DON'T KNOW.

ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THERE'S THREE BIG HUGE BIRD'S NEST AND IN THE ROOF AND, YOU KNOW, THE REST IS HISTORY.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN THAT BAD IN THIS BUILDING YET, SO THANKS.

ALL RIGHT. ANY. ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME SPEAK ON THIS ITEM MA'AM? IF YOU DO, JUST COME. COME ON. COME FORWARD AND TELL US YOUR NAME AND SIGN IN.

AND MY NAME IS HILDA GUZMAN. AND I LIVE IN OTHER CIRCLE IN FRONT THIS PROPERTY. AND WE WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON IN ALL THIS CONSTRUCTION.

THE OUR GARAGE IS JUST, YOU KNOW, GOING THERE.

BUT WE LISTEN SO MANY THINGS. THE PERSON WANT TO BUY THIS ONE IS HONORED.

THE DEALERSHIP CARS ONE PUT SOME CARS THERE. EXERCISE MACHINE FOR THEIR MACHINE FOR THAT.

AND WE WANT CONCERN WHAT'S GOING EXACTLY IS GOING TO BE THERE BECAUSE WE HAPPEN.

THE TRAFFIC IN THE 57TH STREET IS UNSIGNED VERY BADLY.

THE CORNER HAD FOR STOP, BUT PEOPLE CAME FROM 53RD STREET.

IF WE'RE GOING OUT THE GARAGE, THEY DON'T PERMIT US TO GO OUT UNTIL ALL THE LINE FINISHED.

BUT WE WAIT, NO PROBLEM. BUT NOW WE HAD SO MANY BUSINESS, THE MANY DIFFERENT SCENE IN THE BACK, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. AND ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO, SOMEBODY TRIED TO ROB OUR CARS.

TAKE ME. WE GO AND TRY TO GO TO HOUSTON WITH MY HUSBAND.

AND SOMEBODY APPROACHED TO ME FROM THE OTHER SIDE BECAUSE THE SIDEWALK IS IN.

THE PICTURES ARE FOR THE LIGHT THE OTHER CIRCLE AND APPROACHED TO ME.

I SAW THE PERSON SAY SOMETHING, BUT BECAUSE THE SIDEWALK IS THERE, I THINK YOU NEED SOMEBODY WALKING.

[00:20:06]

BUT THE PERSON WAS DIRECTLY TO ME AND TRIED TO GET ME OUT OF THE CAR.

I DON'T EXPECT SOMEBODY IS COMING APPROACH TO ME BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE LIVE THERE FOR 31 YEARS IN THIS HOUSE AND JUST NEVER HAPPENED ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

AND, AND THE PERSON APPROACHED, OPENED THE CAR, MY DOOR CAR TRIED TO PUSH MY SEATBELT OUT.

TAKE ME OUT OF THE CAR. MY HUSBAND WITH THE CANE.

TRY TO PUSH THE GUY OUT. AND I WAS THINKING I VERY PROTECTED BY MY ANGELS.

I ASKED THE ANGEL MIKE AND ARCHANGEL MICHAEL.

HELP US. AND I DON'T KNOW. THE GUY DISAPPEARED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT. BUT THEY. THE POLICE CATCHED IN THE.

IN THE PARKING LOT, IN THE HOTEL, IN THE SAN LUIS HOTEL.

BUT NOW, WHEN ALL THIS CONSTRUCTION IS GOING ON, I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO BE.

WHAT'S GOING TO PUT THERE. THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, JUST WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

AND THIS IS THE REASON I. UNDERSTOOD.

SO AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND SIGN IN FOR ME THERE.

THERE'S A SIGN IN SHEET RIGHT THERE. I NEED YOU TO SIGN YOUR NAME. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, I'D ALSO ENCOURAGE YOU TO CALL CITY PLANNING.

THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS, TOO, BUT YOUR NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET SOUNDS LIKE HE'S GOT THE SAME IDEAS YOU DO.

SO HE'S HERE. YOU GUYS OUGHT TO HAVE A LITTLE CONVERSATION.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? SURE. YES, SIR. STATE YOUR NAME AND SIGN IN FOR US.

ADAM KLASSEN. I'M THE FIANCE OF THEIR DAUGHTER.

BASICALLY, TO JUST SUMMARIZE WHAT SHE WAS ASKING FOR THE MOST PART IS SINCE THEIR GARAGE SITS OUT ONTO 53RD.

SO WHEN THEY'RE EXITING, THEY HAVE TO BACK UP OUT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD.

SO SHE'S JUST MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL TRAFFIC IMPACTS OF A BUSINESS BEING THERE, LIKE HOW BUSY IT WILL BE, AND IF THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO SAFELY EXIT AND COME BACK HOME.

WELL, REALLY, IT'S REALLY THE EXITING PART. THAT'S THE THE MOST KIND OF IFFY BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF A BLIND TURN.

THERE'S BUSHES AND FENCES AND YOU JUST GO STRAIGHT OUT INTO THE ROAD AND JUST CROSS YOUR FINGERS THAT [LAUGHTER] THERE'S NO ONE GOING TOO FAST TO T-BONE YOU.

UNDERSTOOD. HEY, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING FORWARD.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS PUBLIC HEARING. WE DON'T GET TO RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTIONS AGAIN.

YOUR NEIGHBORS HERE, I'M SURE HE'S ON THE SAME PAGE YOU GUYS ARE ON.

I'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO TALK TO HIM A LITTLE BIT. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, PLANNING STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU.

SO YOU CAN CALL AND ASK THEM SOME QUESTIONS AND THEY CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

EXCELLENT. SO ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SEEING NONE WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING THIS BACK TO COMMITTEE.

OH. OH, HERE WE GO. YES, SIR. MY NAME IS ROBERT TESH, AND THAT WAS MY WIFE.

WHO THE SECOND PERSON. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH THIS HUGE PROPERTY.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LARGE PARCEL OF LAND. AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO PUT INTO THAT AREA? I'M NOT CLEAR WHAT'S GOING ON. AND AS HILDA SAID, MY GARAGE, OUR GARAGE IS DIRECTLY, YOU KNOW, IN FRONT OF WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE. SO CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT EXACTLY THEY'RE GOING TO PUT INTO THAT HUGE AREA? SO, SIR, I'M GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN. WE GET TO LISTEN.

OKAY. I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. THAT'S JUST THE WAY THE FORMAT IS SET UP.

BUT STAFF IS HERE. CALL THE CITY STAFF AND THEY'LL TELL YOU WHAT CAN HAPPEN OVER ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY.

AND I'M ALSO GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR.

THAT'S HOW THIS STUFF GETS FIXED. DON'T GET INTO A BATTLE WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR THAT DOESN'T FIX ANYTHING.

I'VE BEEN THERE, I'VE DONE THAT. AND I'M A BIG PROPONENT OF TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR, FIGURE IT OUT.

SO SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HE WANTS TO TRY AND DO SOMETHING GOOD OVER THERE, BUT.

[00:25:03]

ITEM? SEEING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE HEARING AND BRING THIS BACK TO COMMISSION FOR ACTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE 26P-002 WITH RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY STAFF.

I'LL SECOND. SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE.

26P-002 WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS. ANY, ANY DISCUSSION.

SEEING NONE, WE'LL TAKE THE VOTE. THOSE IN FAVOR? AND THAT'S UNANIMOUS. MOVING ON 26P-006. ALRIGHTY

[7.A.4. 26P-006 (Adjacent to 11908 Stewart Road) Request for an Abandonment of approximately 27,050 square feet of street right of way between the southernmost end of South Sonny Lane and Stewart Road. Adjacent properties are legally described as Abstract 121 Hall and Jones Survey, Northeast Part of Lot 235, Trimble and Lindsey Section 2 and Abstract 121 Hall and Jones Survey, North Part of Lot 230 (230-1), Trimble and Lindsey Section 2, in the City and County of Galveston, Texas. Applicant: Cortland Tyler, Delldotto Homes, LLC. Adjacent Property Owner: Delldotto Homes, LLC. Easement Holder: City of Galveston]

THERE WE GO. 26P-006. THIS IS ANOTHER ABANDONMENT.

THIS IS ADJACENT TO 11908 STEWART ROAD ON THE WEST END.

AND THERE WERE. IN THIS CASE THERE WERE EIGHT PUBLIC NOTICES SENT.

NONE OF THOSE WERE RETURNED. SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING AN ABANDONMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 541 LINEAR FEET OF 50 FOOT WIDE RIGHT OF WAY BETWEEN THEIR TWO PROPERTIES.

NOTE ALSO THAT APPROXIMATELY 381 LINEAR FEET OF EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY WILL REMAIN AT THE EXISTING SOUTHERNMOST END OF SOUTH SONNY LANE AND WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO A PROPOSED SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT. NOTE THE ZONING AND LAND USES IN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

SO AS WE CAN SEE, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT AND THE ABANDONMENT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH REALIGNING SOUTH SONNY.

SO THEY'RE NOT REALLY ASKING TO ABANDON IT ALTOGETHER.

THEY ARE ASKING TO REALIGNMENT. REALIGN IT. BUT THE ABANDONMENT WOULD BE REQUIRED.

SO STAFF FINDS THAT ABANDONMENT WILL NOT HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

SOUTH SONNY LANE PAVEMENT TERMINATES BEFORE REACHING STEWART ROAD AND AS PART OF A PROPOSED SUBDIVISION, THE APPLICANT RETAINS SOME OF THAT, AS SHOWN IN EXHIBIT A OF THE STAFF REPORT.

AND THE APPLICANT WILL LATER THEN, AS THE SUBDIVISION MOVES FORWARD, WILL REDEDICATE SOUTH SONNY RIGHT OF WAY.

APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 60 FOOT SHIFTED TO THE WEST AS PART OF THEIR SUBDIVISION DESIGN.

SO THE SOUTH SONNY LANE RIGHT OF WAY WOULD ESSENTIALLY REMAIN AS JUST BEING MOVED.

AND THE PROPOSED STREETS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE PUBLIC.

THUS ADDING CONNECTIVITY FROM STEWART TO OSTERMEYER, WHICH DOESN'T CURRENTLY EXIST BECAUSE THE SOUTH SIDE PAVEMENT TERMINATES ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN. NO OBJECTIONS WERE RECEIVED FROM PUBLIC OR PRIVATE UTILITIES.

HOWEVER, CENTER POINT TYPICALLY REQUESTS A STREET ALLEY CLOSURE APPLICATION BE SUBMITTED IN THEIR SYSTEM FOR ABANDONMENT REQUESTS.

AND SO, AS A CONDITION, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE APPLICANT CONTACT CENTER POINT AND FOLLOW THEIR PROCESSES AS NEEDED.

OTHERWISE, THERE ARE NO UTILITIES WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY.

THERE ARE CERTAINLY NO CITY UTILITIES IN THE RIGHT OF WAY.

NOTE THE CRITERIA FOR PERMANENT STREET CLOSURES IN THE STAFF REPORT.

STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST GENERALLY CONFORMS TO THE ABOVE STATED CRITERIA DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SUBJECT RIGHT OF WAY HAS NOT BEEN IN USE.

THERE WILL NOT BE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO THE TRAFFIC FLOW IN A NEGATIVE WAY.

IF THE SUBDIVISION SHOULD PROCEED, IT WILL ACTUALLY ADD CONNECTIVITY BY CONTINUING SOUTH SONNY ALL THE WAY TO STEWART ROAD FROM OSTERMEYER.

CITY COUNCIL HAS A FINAL DECISION REGARDING ABANDONMENTS, AND OF COURSE THEY WILL HEAR THIS REQUEST AT THE MARCH 26TH MEETING.

STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS ABANDONMENT BE APPROVED WITH SPECIFIC CONDITIONS 1 THROUGH 5 AND STANDARD CONDITIONS 6 THROUGH 8.

AND WE HAVE SOME PHOTOS HERE. SO ON THE LEFT WE HAVE THE AERIAL MAP AND PARCEL MAP FROM WITH THE SUBDIVISION SORT OF OVERLAY. SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE PROPOSED SOUTH SONNY ALIGNMENT AND THE EXISTING.

THEY RUN PARALLEL BUT THEY'RE NOT THE SAME. AND HERE ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE A COLOR CODED MAP.

THE YELLOW SHOWS THE APPROXIMATE EXTENTS OF THE SOUTH CITY RIGHT OF WAY.

THAT WOULD REMAIN AS PART OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

THE RED SHOWS THE PART THAT WOULD BE ABANDONED.

AND THEN THE BLUE SHOWS THE REDEDICATION TO CONTINUE SOUTH SONNY ALL THE WAY TO STEWART.

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE APPLICANT THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING 60 FOOT WIDE RIGHTS OF WAY, AND SO THEREFORE THAT WOULD CONFORM TO OUR SUBDIVISION STANDARDS.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND HERE WE HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY LOOKING NORTH FROM STEWART TOWARDS SOUTH SONNY.

AND THEN FROM THE END OF SOUTH SONNY LOOKING BACK SOUTH TO STEWART.

THEN LOOKING SOUTHEAST FROM THE TERMINUS OF SOUTH SONNY LANE AND THEN LOOKING SOUTHWEST IN THE OTHER DIRECTION FROM THE SAME SPOT.

AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S REPORT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, DANIEL. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YES, JOHN.

[00:30:01]

DANIEL, THE TIMING OF THE ABANDONMENT AND THE DEDICATION THOSE WOULD BE SIMULTANEOUS OR EXACTLY HOW WOULD THAT WORK? SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ABANDONMENT PROCESS FIRST, AND THEN FROM THEN THEY COULD PROCEED WITH THE SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT AND PLATTING.

AND THIS WOULD BE A PRELIMINARY FINAL PLAT PROCESS.

SO IT WOULD BE A TWO STEP PROCESS, AND PLANNING COMMISSION WOULD SEE BOTH THOSE STEPS AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. SO BASICALLY THIS ABANDONMENT IS TO BE INCORPORATED IN THOSE LOTS.

RIGHT? AND THEN THEY'RE JUST MOVING IT OVER? CORRECT THEY'RE NOT DEVELOPED? RIGHT CURRENTLY IT'S TWO BIG PARCELS, ONE BEING ON THE EAST OF SOUTH SONNY AND ONE BEING ON THE WEST OF SOUTH SONNY.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO, YOU KNOW, REDEVELOP THAT PROPERTY AS, AS SHOWN.

AND SO YEAH, THE REALIGNMENT WOULD AFFECT APPROXIMATELY EIGHT LOTS.

THE ABANDONMENT AREA INCORPORATES APPROXIMATELY EIGHT LOTS.

THIS IS CURRENTLY THE PART THAT'S ABANDONED IS CURRENTLY UNIMPROVED.

CORRECT? CORRECT. SOUTH. AT THE VERY END NORTHERN EDGE OF THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY IS ABOUT WHERE SOUTH SONNY ENDS.

IT'S NOT PAVED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. IT ONLY GOES ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN OSTERMEYER AND STEWART.

OKAY. AND IT STOPS. VERY GOOD SEEING NONE. IS. WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARINGS OF APPLICANT PRESENT? YES, SIR. JUST STATE YOUR NAME. GOOD. [INAUDIBLE] BO.

I'M THE OWNER OF DELLDOTTO HOMES AND PLANNING TO DO THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT HERE.

SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. WE'VE DONE SEVERAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY BEFORE AND LOOK FORWARD TO DOING ANOTHER.

LOOK FORWARD TO DOING ANOTHER PROJECT. ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SEEING NONE, WE'RE GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT, BO IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL CALL YOU BACK UP HERE. HOW'S THAT SOUND? ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? NOPE? ALL RIGHT, THEN WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING THIS BACK TO COMMISSION FOR ACTION.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE 26P-006 WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

I'LL SECOND. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND 26P-006 AS PRESENTED.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? NO? STAN, YOU GOT YOUR FINGER ON THE BUTTON.

[LAUGHTER]. PONDERING MY SENTENCE TONIGHT. I CAN'T PONDER IT ENOUGH.

YES. WELL WAS THERE. BO, COULD YOU COME UP? YES WELL NEVER MIND NORTH SUNNY? ALL THE AREAS LIKE THAT ARE TO THE EAST OF SUNNY.

NONE OF THEM HAVE PUBLIC. PUBLIC SEWER. IS THERE PLANS ON LOOPING? BECAUSE THERE'S. YOU'VE GOT TO RUN DOWN OSTERMEYER. YOU'VE GOT TO RUN DOWN STEWART.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY STILL HAS THE ABILITY TO PARTNER WITH YOU, TO BE ABLE TO AT LEAST LOOP THESE GUYS IN, BECAUSE THERE'S A THERE'S A LOOP OFF OSTERMEYER THAT YOU COULD CONNECT TO AND LOOP ON STEWART.

AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY SERVE BETTER THAN A THAN A CUL DE SAC OR A DEAD END.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS IN CONSIDERATION OR AS AN OPTION OF, OF DISCUSSION.

WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO. YEAH, JUST I THINK THAT THIS RIGHT AWAY, ALTHOUGH IT'S BEEN OVERLOOKED FOR A LONG TIME IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY OPTIONS THAT ARE THERE TO ACTUALLY GET TO SERVE ANYBODY THAT'S ON NORTH SUNNY OR.

YOU KNOW, ALL THE ONES THAT ARE IN THE BACK THERE, AUSTIN, ALL OF THOSE STREETS.

SO JUST HOPING THAT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT OPTION STILL STAYS OPEN.

NO 100%. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT THEN WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND AND TIME FOR THE VOTE.

THOSE IN FAVOR? AND THAT'S UNANIMOUS. SO 26P-006 IS APPROVED.

[7.B.5. 26P-003 (2302 99th Street) Request for a Minor Plat for a single-family residential development. The property is legally described as Evia Phase Two (2007) Abstract 121, Reserve N (0-14), Acres 4.159, in the City and County of Galveston, Texas. Applicant: Robert Ellis, Ellis Surveying Services, LLC. Property Owners: Evia Partners Ltd.]

MOVING ON TO 26P-003. 26P-003. THIS IS AT 2309 99TH STREET IN THE EVIA SUBDIVISION. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A REPLAT.

THERE ARE 46 PUBLIC NOTICES SENT. SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A MINOR PLAT.

I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A PRELIMINARY PLAT. THIS IS A MINOR PLAT. TO EXPAND THE EVIA SUBDIVISION.

THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT RESERVE THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2007.

IT'S NOT A GREEN SPACE OR OPEN SPACE RESERVE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO TAKE THIS DEVELOPMENT RESERVE AND REPLANT IT INTO 22 SEPARATE PARCELS BECAUSE FIVE OR MORE LOTS WILL BE CREATED.

[00:35:03]

PLANNING COMMISSION, A REVIEW IS REQUIRED. SO THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS LOCATED BETWEEN 99TH STREET AND ISLAND PASSAGE IN EVIA NORTHEAST CORNER. THE PHASE TWO REPLAT ONCE AGAIN INDICATES THIS WAS SET OUT AS A DEVELOPMENT RESERVE FOR FUTURE EXPANSION AT THAT TIME.

THE TRACKS TO THE WEST, NORTH AND SOUTH ARE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES. THE PROPERTY TO THE EAST IS GOLF COURSE AND THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS IN SITE VISITS INDICATE THE PARCELS CURRENTLY VACANT MODE AND CONTAINS ONLY A FEW SCATTERED TREES.

NOTE THAT ANY TREE REMOVAL THAT MAY OCCUR WITH DEVELOPMENT MUST MEET STANDARDS OF 9.500 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, AND WILL REQUIRE A PERMIT FROM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

PLEASE NOTE THE ZONING AND LAND USE OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL AND ADJACENT.

SO THE PROS REPLAT SUBMITTED IN EXHIBIT B SHOWS THAT ALL PROPOSED LOTS, INCLUDING TWO RESERVES, MEET OR EXCEED THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD ZONING.

THE SMALLEST PARCEL PROPOSED ALONE IS MUCH GREATER THAN WHAT WE WOULD REQUIRE FOR TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

THERE WERE NO OBJECTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM OUTSIDE CITY, OUTSIDE UTILITIES OR CITY DEPARTMENTS.

ALL THE EXISTING UTILITIES ARE IN PLACE AND THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO STAFF RECOMMENDS THE REQUEST BE APPROVED WITH SPECIFIC CONDITIONS 1 AND STANDARD CONDITIONS 2 THROUGH 6.

AND WE HAVE SOME PHOTOS HERE. WE HAVE THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION LAYOUT WITH OUR AERIAL IMAGERY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

THE RIGHT HAND SIDE SHOWING THE PROPOSED LAYOUT A LITTLE BIT CLEANER.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND HERE WE HAVE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY LOOKING SOUTH INTO EVIA AND THEN LOOKING NORTH LOOKING EAST TOWARD THE GOLF COURSE LOOKING WEST ONCE AGAIN INTO THE EARLIER PHASES OF EVIA.

AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S REPORT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU DANIEL. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SURE JOHN.

DANIEL, ON THE 2007 PLAT WHAT IS THE DESCRIPTION THAT'S GIVEN FOR RESERVE AND THAT'S ON THE LEGEND OR TABLE ON THAT PLAT. I ACTUALLY DO NOT RECALL OFFHAND, BUT THERE WAS NO NOTES FOUND THAT INDICATES THAT AS A AS A PARK OR OPEN SPACE RESERVE, IT WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY DEDICATED TO ANY SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

I THINK THE APPLICANT MAY BE HERE, AND PERHAPS THEY CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. AND THIS IS. DANIEL JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS A TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD TN ZONING, CORRECT? YEAH. IN TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT STANDARDS.

ONE FOR LIKE ATTACHED LIKE TOWNHOME TYPE THINGS AND THEN A SLIGHTLY BIGGER REQUIREMENT FOR A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED.

AND ALL OF THESE LOTS GREATLY EXCEED THE REQUIREMENTS FOR DETACHED.

VERY GOOD. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? OH, HERE WE GO.

GOOD MORNING I'M JULIE GLASS. I WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER AT EVIA.

SO THE QUESTION REGARDING RESERVE N IT DID NOT HAVE AN OPEN SPACE OR DETENTION OR DRAINAGE DESIGNATION.

I DON'T RECALL THAT IT HAD A DESIGNATION AT ALL.

OUR INTENTION WAS ALWAYS TO DEVELOP IT INTO HOMES.

ORIGINALLY WE HAD CONSIDERED ATTACHED TOWNHOMES, BUT WE DECIDED THIS IS A MUCH BETTER PLAN FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

OTHER THAN THAT, I'M JUST HERE IN CASE THERE ARE OTHER QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER FOR YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SO THE DESCRIPTION WAS JUST BLANK? WELL, IT DEFINITELY CALLED IT OUT AS A RESERVE N, BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO GO FROM MEMORY HERE.

WHAT THE DESCRIPTION WAS. I CAN PROBABLY LOOK IT UP BEFORE WE LEAVE TODAY.

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

IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, WE'LL LET YOU.

CALL YOU BACK UP HERE. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING THIS BACK TO COMMISSION FOR ACTION.
