AND WE'RE JUST ADJUSTING THAT TO A SMALL AMOUNT SO THAT THE FENCE, WHEN I BUILD IT TO ENCOMPASS, ENCOMPASS MY PROPERTY DOESN'T GO THROUGH MY FRONT YARD.

UH, REGARDING THIS AGENDA ITEM, WE UNDERSTAND IT'S STRICTLY A PRELIMINARY PLA TO ADJUST LOT LINES. UH, WE DO NOT OPPOSE THAT AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATES THIS, USE THIS AREA AS U YOU ARE WESLEY MOFFITT AT PODIUM. WE ARE SPEAKING TODAY TO PLACE OUR POSITION ON THE OFFICIAL RECORD FOR ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. IF A ZONE CHANGE IS EVER REQUESTED FOR THIS 16 ACRE TRACT, UH, WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT SURROUNDING RESIDENTS STRONGLY OPPOSED HIGH DENSITY UR DASH L ZONING. AND WE'LL ASK THAT IT MAY THAT IT REMAIN AE AND BE RESTRICTED STRICTLY TO URBAN, RESIDENTIAL OR LARGE, UH, LOT THE UR LL DESIGNATION, UM, TO PROTECT THE ESTABLISHED HOME VALUES, DRAINAGE AND PRIVACY. SO ESSENTIALLY SHOULD REZONING OCCUR DOWN THE ROAD, WE'LL UH, ALSO ASK FOR STANDARD NEIGHBOR, STANDARD NEIGHBORHOOD MITIGATIONS REGARDING HEIGHT, SETBACKS, PRIVACY SCREENINGS, DRAINAGE AND STREET ACCESS. THE MAN READS A PAPER AT THE PODIUM. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AUDIENCE MEMBERS SIT IN ROWS FACING AN EMPTY PODIUM. NEXT, IS THERE A CLAYTON BIBLE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME SPEAK? CLAYTON BIBLE WALKS TO THE PODIUM AND PLACES NOTES. HI, UH, CLAYTON BIBLE 5 0 1 2 STONELEY DRIVE. JUST DO SOUTH OF THAT LOT RIGHT THERE. UM, TO ADD ON TO HIS COMMENTS, THE, THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THE RESIDENTS OF POLO PARK IS WE LIVE IN A SOMEWHAT SECLUDED NEIGHBORHOOD. UM, AND I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF OUTLINE OUR CONCERNS. UM, NUMBER ONE, IT, THE REQUEST SEEMED A LITTLE ODD THAT HE WOULD USE A CONSULTING FIRM TO REPL. UM, SEEMED LIKE YOU COULD JUST DO THAT YOURSELF, UM, THROUGH SOME COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE CITY. UM, AND THEN TO RELAY EVERYBODY ELSE'S CONCERNS, WE DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE HIGH DENSITY HOUSING. UM, A LOT OF KIDS LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, DO SOUTH, WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ROADS. UM, THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC INCREASE. UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY OUR BIGGEST, OUR BIGGEST DEAL AND CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AND DRAINAGE RUNOFF, THAT TYPE OF THING. ALRIGHT. UH, APPRECIATE THAT. I I WILL JUST BEFORE WE MOVE ON, IT, IT REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE, JUST TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN, YOU SAID WHY, WHY HAVE A CONSULTANT JUST FOR INFORMATION? YOU HAVE TO HAVE EVERYTHING DONE PROFESSIONALLY WITH SURVEYORS AND THOSE CONSULTING FIRMS TEND TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT ACCESS AND GET THESE [00:10:01] DONE PROPERLY SO THAT THOSE PROPERTY LINES ARE, ARE DRAWN ACCORDINGLY. AND IT'S NOT JUST BACK OF THE NAPKIN KIND OF THINGS. THE OTHER THING HERE IS THAT THIS IS STILL ZONED AS AE, WHICH MEANS THAT THIS, ALL THESE HIGH DENSITY THINGS THAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT, THIS IS, UH, NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO COME HERE. AND TO BE HONEST, NO MATTER WHAT THE, UM, THE CITY'S PLAN OR WHATEVER HAS COME AND SAID ABOUT, ABOUT THE PROPERTIES, THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH, ESPECIALLY AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED, A ZONE CHANGE THAT WOULD HAVE TO COME THROUGH BEFORE ANYTHING, UH, OF HIGHER DENSITY WOULD NEED WOULD BE ABLE TO COME THROUGH. UM, SO I JUST, I WANTED TO STATE THAT I, I'M, I FEEL LIKE IT'S FAIR FOR YOU GUYS TO COME AND VOICE YOUR CONCERNS, BUT I WOULD THINK ALSO THINK THAT ANYTHING THOSE CONCERNS WOULD NEED TO BE RESTATED IF AT ANY POINT IN THE FUTURE AN ACTUAL ZONE CHANGE CAME THROUGH. UM, BUT I JUST FROM MY OWN KNOWLEDGE OF THE AREA AND HAVING LITERALLY GROWN UP THERE, UM, NOT LIKELY. SO I JUST WON. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL ABATE SOME OF YOUR CONCERNS. BUT AFTER HAVING SAID THAT, I WOULD ALSO INVITE A LESLIE SAADA TO COME UP AND SPEAK IF YOU WOULD LIKE SPARKS LOOKS DOWN AT THE DESK. SIR, I'M NOT SCHEDULED TO SPEAK, BUT I'M THE SPARKS LEANS FORWARD TOWARD THE MICROPHONE. SIR, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M GONNA GIVE HER THE CHANCE TO COME SPEAK AND WHEN, WHEN I HAVE GONE THROUGH THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED UP, I WILL DEFINITELY OPEN IT UP FOR YOU TO COME SPEAK AS WELL. OKAY. I THINK I CAN SAVE US A LOT OF TIME BECAUSE WHERE THE SIGN WAS PLACED. OKAY. ON MY PROPERTY TEXT ITEM 12. OKAY, WE'LL THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE CAN, WE CAN ADDRESS LATER, BUT THANK YOU. NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE. I, I'M LESLIE SAADA, I'M AT 1711 NORMANDY LANE. UM, I THINK Y'ALL ANSWERED A LOT OF OUR QUESTIONS. HONESTLY, WHEN WE GOT THE LETTER, I THINK THERE WAS SOME UNCERTAINTY ON WHAT IT MEANT. UM, IF IT TRULY IS JUST MOVING THAT PLOT LINE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THAT. UM, LIKE THOSE WHO SPOKE BEFORE ME, IT'S, IT'S THE ISSUE IF WE WERE TO REZONE, SO I GUESS MY QUESTION FOR Y'ALL IS WOULD WE GET THE SAME NOTIFICATION IF THERE WAS A REZONING PROCESS? WOULD IT BE THE SAME THING WHERE WE COULD COME SPEAK TO IT? OKAY. YES. I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONCERNS. UM, YOU KNOW, IS THIS GONNA BE A WAY THAT SOMEHOW WE GET REZONED AND WE DON'T KNOW IT. SO I THINK, UM, OUR MAIN PURPOSE WAS JUST TO HAVE ON RECORD, UM, OUR CONCERNS WITH THE FUTURE USE OF THE LAND OVERCROWDING, UM, RESIDENTIAL DENSITY, INFRASTRUCTURE, WILDLIFE. WE HAVE LITTLE FAMILIES OF SKUNKS AND FOXES AND CATS AND WE ALL LIVE SO HAPPILY TOGETHER AND WE JUST WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, WAY EVEN THE SKUNKS. OKAY. I KNOW YOU WOULD THINK WE WOULDN'T LIKE 'EM, BUT THEY'RE PRECIOUS HONESTLY AND THEY LEAVE US ALONE. UM, AND JUST THE CHARM OF FOLO PARK. I'M FROM LUBBOCK. I MOVED HERE AND IT JUST DIDN'T QUITE FEEL LIKE HOME. AND THEN WE FOUND THAT HOUSE ON NORMANDY AND IT JUST CLICKED. AND WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR FIVE YEARS AND I THINK PART OF THAT CHARM IS WE ARE ON THE EDGE. YOU KNOW, IT'S QUIET. WE KNOW WHO SHOULD BE ON THE BLOCK AND WHO SHOULDN'T. I MEAN WE ALL LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER. SO I JUST WANNA PROTECT THIS SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE HAVE, THE WOMAN AT THE PODIUM WITH PROPERTY VALUE AND ALL THE THINGS. UM, TRAFFIC WOULD DEFINITELY BE A BIG CONCERN IF WE HAD THROUGH STREETS. SO WE'LL REITERATE THIS AGAIN, IF IT EVER COMES UP. HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T, BUT WE JUST WANTED IT ON RECORD THAT THAT'S OUR OPPOSITION. AND BEATRICE HAS BEEN SO LOVELY AND ANSWERING ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. ALRIGHT, I HAVE A CORBY KNIFING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME SPEAK. I THINK I'M GOOD. I THINK IT OKAY. CLEARED UP. IT'S BEEN NOTED. ALRIGHT. I DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE THAT'S CURRENTLY HERE, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME SPEAK AT THIS TIME, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME. IF YOU'LL PLEASE COME TO THE MIC. LET ME TO GET UP THERE. I THINK I CAN MAKE MYSELF HEARD. OKAY. BUT, UH, I OWNED PRESENTLY 15 ACRES UP THERE AND I'VE OWNED IT FOR 50 YEARS. THIS IS MY HOMESTEAD. IT JUST, THIS LEASE IS MY DAD. THIS IS THE OTHER OTHER PART OF THE DEAL. OKAY. THIS IS HIS STUFF AND THAT'S FINE. TEXT, RIGHT. ZONING. SO, AND IF YOU DRIVE BY, I HAVE FIVE ACRES THERE TO THE NORTH OF THE LEFT LAB THERE AND THE PLANT SIGN WAS PLACED ON THAT FIVE ACRES. AND TO THE CASUAL OBSERVER IT LOOKS LIKE THAT I WAS GOING TO DEVELOP THAT PROPERTY. AND THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THE ONLY WAY THAT PROPERTY DIE, PEOPLE SIT IN THE GALLERY, WOOD PANELED WALLS AROUND, WHICH IS A LONG WAY AWAY. WE ALL HOPE TEXT JOSHUA SPARKS. [00:15:02] AND SO YES, I THANK YOU FOR, FOR CLEARING THAT UP. HOPEFULLY THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE HERE AND, AND IN THE AUDIENCE HERE, UM, NOW YOU, YOU'VE GOT REALLY KIND OF THE, THE THOUGHT BEHIND IT ALL. UM, BUT I, I DO THINK THAT'S, IT'S, IT'S PRETTY COMMON, UH, FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING TO SELL THEIR, THEIR PROPERTY TO GO AHEAD AND GET IT, UH, LOOKED AT AND, AND MAKE SURE THEIR PROPERTY LINES ARE ARE ACCORDING. BECAUSE YOU WOULD HATE FOR SOMEBODY TO COME IN AND BUY THE PROPERTY AND, AND GO, OH WELL I ACTUALLY OWN ALL THIS ACCORDING TO THE, SO SEEMS LIKE THAT'S THE ALL THAT'S GOING ON HERE. ANYTHING ELSE? ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME AND SPEAK AT THIS TIME? ALL RIGHT, I'M NOT SEEING ANYONE AS THE APPLICANT. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY? NO, I NOT. OH, NOT AT ALL. WE'RE NOT A . WE HAVE TWO APPLICANTS. , HE'S APPLICANT TO JASON. THE ONLY THING THAT WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY ALTERING, JUST LET YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST RIGHT HERE BECAUSE MY PROPERTY LINE DOESN'T FOLLOW THE DRIVEWAY. JUST EXACTLY. THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING IS JUST WE'RE CHANGING THIS PROPERTY LINE JUST RIGHT HERE. NOTHING ON THE BOUNDARIES, NOTHING TO DISTURB. ANYBODY ELSE SAY A POINT TO, TO MY PROPERTY UP THERE? THIS, THIS? NO. ON THE HIGHER END COMMISSION MEMBERS SIT AT A HORSESHOE DESK. YEAH, RIGHT THERE. THAT'S ALL MY PROPERTY AND IT'S NOT GONNA BE DEVELOPED. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. ALRIGHT, AT THIS TIME I WILL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE OUR PUBLIC HEARING AND WE WILL GO TO THE COMMISSION. CAN I FIRST ASK STAFF IF THERE'S ANY WAY, LIKE IF THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, I KNOW GOING FORWARD IT GETS REVIEWED, IS THERE A WAY THAT THE PUBLIC CAN INPUT INTO THAT PROCESS? AND IF THERE'S NOT OR IF THERE IS, MAYBE THAT'S WHERE THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, VOICE THEIR CONCERNS WITH THAT, THAT ZONING ISSUE. I BELIEVE THEY'RE REVIEWING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AT THE MOMENT, BUT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT NOTICES. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE NOTICES TEXT MIDLAND I THINK WHEN THE, THEY ARE LOOKING AT HAVING THE, THE COMP PLAN, UM, REVISED AND, AND LOOKED AT, UM, BY SOME THIRD PARTIES AND UM, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, PART OF THAT PROCESS WILL BE UM, TOWN HALL MEETINGS AND THAT SORT OF THING. OKAY. UM, SO IT, UH, IT MIGHT NOT BE INDIVIDUAL LETTERS, BUT MUCH LIKE WE DO FOR BONDS OR THINGS LIKE THAT WHERE THERE ARE TOWN HALL MEETINGS THAT ARE IN DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS AND PEOPLE CAN COME AND ATTEND. THAT WOULD BE OPEN FORUM AND THEN PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK AND CONTRIBUTE IN THAT WAY. SURE. IS THAT, SO MAYBE THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION WHERE Y'ALL CAN VOICE YOUR CONCERN AND YOUR, YOUR OPPOSITION TO THAT. CAN WE BE NOTIFIED OF IT WOULD PROBABLY ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE, UH, WOULD, YOU'D PROBABLY HAVE TO KIND OF LOOK AT IT THAT WAY. UM, LIKE SHE SAID, THERE PROBABLY WON'T BE INDIVIDUAL LETTERS, BUT YOU CAN PROBABLY JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE OR IN THE, ON THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AS WELL. OH, IN THE NEWSPAPER AS WELL. RIGHT. SO IS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN A ALWAYS BEEN IN FOR? JUST FROM MY OWN. AND IF ANY OF STAFF WOULD LIKE, LIKE TO INTERJECT, PLEASE DO. BUT WHEN THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS REWRITTEN SEVERAL YEARS AGO, UH, PROBABLY CLOSE TO 10 YEARS NOW. 2016, THAT'S THE LAST TIME. OKAY. SO WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO 10. BUT YEAH, 2018 IS WHEN THAT WAS REWRITTEN AND WE DID HAVE A THIRD PARTY THAT CAME AND THEY LOOKED AT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON IN MIDLAND AND THEY SAID, OKAY, YOU'VE ALREADY GOT THIS HERE, THESE GREAT THOROUGH FARES. OH YOU KNOW, MOCKINGBIRD IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND WE ALL KNOW THAT SOME THINGS ARE GOING TO GO ACCORDING TO THAT AND SOME THINGS THAT ARE NOT RIGHT. AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WITH MOCKINGBIRD BEING THERE JUST ON THE BACKSIDE AS WELL AS THE POLO FIELDS BEING THERE, THAT FIRM DECIDED, WELL IT'S GOT A LOT OF SPACE. THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF RETAIL COULD GO IN THE FUTURE. SO WE'LL JUST SAY THAT THAT'S PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WE THINK THAT AS THIS GROWS, WE CAN GO FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD AND TRANSITION INTO MAYBE SOME RETAIL AND SOME OTHER THINGS. OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS WERE UH, YOU KNOW, PROTECTED JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY, WHERE THEY ARE IN THE CITY. SPARKS RAISES HIS HAND. HERE'S WHERE ALL THIS GROWTH AND YOU'LL, YOU'LL NOTICE WHERE A LOT OF THE GROWTH IS HAPPENING IN MIDLAND FOR HOMES AND THINGS. IT IS TENDING TO GO ACCORDING TO THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BUT UM, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS ALREADY THAT HAVE CHANGED AND ARE NOT HAPPENING ACCORDING TO THAT PLAN. AND SO, UH, THE WAY THE CITY AND THE PLANNING TAKES THAT INTO ACCOUNT IS IT'S MORE LIKE GUIDELINES. IT'S, HEY, THIS LOOKS LIKE THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO GO BUT BECAUSE OF THIS FACTOR OR THAT FACTOR, THAT'S NOT WHAT DEVELOPED AND THAT'S OKAY. THAT CHANGES. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE [00:20:01] PROBABLY UPDATING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS SAYING, HEY, SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT HAPPENED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS MAKE MAKE IT ENOUGH THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE WHERE EVERYTHING IS BECAUSE WE SAID THIS WOULD BE RESIDENTIAL AND IT DIDN'T END UP BEING RESIDENTIAL OR VICE VERSA. UM, SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS LOOKED AT AS GOSPEL OR SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. IT'S MORE SO A WELL IN FIVE TO 10 YEARS WE FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE GONNA WANNA LIVE OUT IN THAT SPACE AND THEN THEY DIDN'T FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. AND THAT'S OKAY. SO JUST TO CLARIFY, UM, THE TOWN HALL LIKE US BEING INVOLVED IN THAT, WOULD THAT BE TO GIVE OUR OPINION THAT WOULD GO TOWARDS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BUT IF Y'ALL WERE ACTUALLY ACTUALLY REZONING IT WOULD BE IN THIS SAME FORM? YES. SO, SO TOWN HALLS ARE A PUBLIC ASPECT AND THEY'RE, THAT'S JUST A, HEY WE WANT TO GIVE YOU OUR THOUGHTS AND WE WANT TO RECEIVE YOUR THOUGHTS. NOW WHETHER THAT'S DONE THROUGH THE CITY, WHETHER THAT'S DONE FROM A THIRD PARTY, I THINK THAT'S UP TO THE FUTURE AND HOW THAT, THAT ENDS UP GOING. BUT AS FAR AS A ZONE CHANGE OR ANYTHING THAT BECOMES RECORD, IT'S GOING TO COME THROUGH HERE AND EVENTUALLY GO TO CITY COUNCIL COMES. SO JUST TO GIVE PEACE OF MIND, I'M SORRY. JUST A PEACE OF MIND IS EVEN IF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES GO THROUGH OR AS IT IS STANDS NOW, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO CHANGE THIS ZONING, WHICH MEANS THEY CAN'T REDEVELOP AND PLOT THIS SMALLER 'CAUSE YOUR MINIMUM OUT HERE IS TWO ACRES WITH AG. THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH, YOU WOULD HAVE A PUBLIC NOTICE THAT'S REQUIRED BY STATE LAW FOR BOTH A REPL OR A REZONE OUT HERE. YOU'LL GET A NOTICE FOR EACH OF THEM. YEAH, THE STAFF MEMBER STANDS ON THE FAR RIGHT OF THE ROOM. YOU JUST NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE AGENDA. 'CAUSE SOMETIMES REZONING I, I THINK THAT'S CHANGED. IT GOES TO THE CITY ONLY. NOW I, I'M NOT SURE WHAT BOTH RE ZONES AND RELAS WILL COME THROUGH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. UM, A REZONE WILL GO TO BOTH P AND Z AND TO CITY COUNCIL AND EACH SEPARATE MEETING GETS ITS OWN NOTICE REQUIRED BY STATE LAW. YEAH. WITHIN 200 FEET OF ANY PROPERTY. MM-HMM . MM-HMM SO YOU WILL RECEIVE A NOTICE ON THAT. THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. WELL WE DO HAVE THE ITEM ON THE TABLE. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE ANY MOTIONS? I'LL MOTION FOR APPROVAL. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. ITEM NUMBER 12, COMMISSION MEMBERS REVIEW DOCUMENTS. A SECOND AND A SECOND. ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? JOSHUA SPARKS LOOKS AT HIS MONITOR. ALRIGHT, LET'S VOTE THE BACKGROUND.

WE DO ULTIMATELY RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST WITH THE FOLLOWING STANDARD CONDITIONS. THANK YOU. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. TEXT MISSION, ANYTHING FOR STAFF? WOMAN STANDS AT A PODIUM. IS THIS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS? THIS IS UH, INSIDE CITY LIMITS IN DISTRICT TWO. OKAY. ARE SOME OF THESE GONNA BE DEVELOPED FOR MOBILE HOMES OR ARE THEY ALL RESIDENTIAL? MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY'RE ALL MOBILE HOMES. UH, ACTUALLY I THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE STICK BREAK. OKAY. SINGLE FAMILY HOME. MY APOLOGIES. OKAY. ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO DO A REZONING FOR THE FIVE FOOT SETBACK FROM LOT FOUR TO LOT? THERE IS CURRENTLY A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, UM, BEING RUN THROUGH THE PROCESS. IT JUST GOES TO CITY COUNCIL ONLY AND NOT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. OKAY. AND THEN I APOLOGIZE, I SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THAT IN ONE OF MY SLIDES. OKAY. AND THEN ALSO, I MEAN, JUST BEING A BUILDER MYSELF, UM, THAT LOT, I MEAN STANDARD SETBACKS ARE GONNA TAKE 10 FOOT OFF SET LOT LOT FOUR IS ONLY 30 FOOT WIDE. I KNOW IT'S A REALLY DEEP LOT, BUT IT'S A PRETTY SKINNY HOUSE GOING ON THERE. THE MONITOR FACES THE MAN THERE. THAT'S WHY I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS ONLY GONNA BE FOR MOBILE HOMES. 'CAUSE DO DO YOU WANT ME TO ADDRESS MAN, SITS AN OFFICE CHAIR. YOU'D LIKE THAT? THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING FOR WHEN WE, I THINK SOMETHING MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER BETTER THAN I CAN. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYTHING, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE FOR LORI? OKAY, THANK YOU. YES SIR. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME I'LL, I'LL ASK THE APPLICANT TO COME, COME AND SPEAK AND SEEK, MAYBE ANSWER SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE OR THAT WE HAVE RATHER. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME'S PAL AND HUCK 7 1 0 OH SAGE. UM, SO JUST TO ADDRESS THOSE QUESTIONS. VERY GOOD. I MEAN THAT'S A, THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. UM, OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING THAT WAS INVOLVED IN OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH THE BUILDER, UH, I BELIEVE THEY REDEVELOPED THAT EXISTING RESIDENCE ON THE, ON THAT PROPERTY PROBABLY OVER THE PAST FIVE TO EIGHT YEARS. I'VE TALKED TO 10 OR 15 PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THIS AREA AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME EXISTING PROPERTIES AND DEVELOPING AROUND IT, INFILLING RESIDENTIAL THERE. UM, SO THESE GUYS ARE LOOKING TO UM, OBVIOUSLY FIT AS MANY LOTS AS THEY CAN GET ON THIS ACREAGE. THAT'S JUST HOW IT WORKS. UM, SO TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION OF HOW NARROW THAT LOT IS, IT CERTAINLY IS UM, THE, THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION THAT'S GONNA BE PUT IN FRONT OF COUNCIL, UH, WILL ACTUALLY BE FOR THAT NORTHERNMOST LOT, UH, ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER AS WELL AS THAT INTERIOR LOT. SO 30 FOOT WIDE, NOT A LARGE FOOTPRINT, THEY'VE GOT UM, SOME FLOOR PLANS THAT FIT THAT. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE UH, ARCHITECT THAT IS INVOLVED WITH THIS BUILDER, UH, JUST BUILT A HOME, UM, OH GOSH, UH, RIGHT OFF A GOLF COURSE THAT IS A VERY SIMILAR KIND OF SHOTGUN STYLE, UH, BONG DEEP, NARROW [00:30:01] HOME. UH, SO I REALIZE THAT THAT IS UM, THAT THAT IS RATHER NARROW. THEY'RE CONFIDENT THAT THEY'VE GOT, UH, A FLOOR PLAN THAT'LL FIT. UH, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS ALL, UH, ZONED FOR MANUFACTURED HOMES ANYWAY, WHICH, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SATISFY WITH A VERY NARROW STRUCTURE HOW THE UKBA STANDS AT THE PODIUM, UH, WEATHER. AND, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS, THIS IS OPENING CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF AS WELL. UH, WE HAVEN'T REALLY OPENED IT UP, THIS IS THEIR PREFERRED LAYOUT BUT UM, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO ADD WIDTH TO THAT INTERIOR LOT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. UM, BUT IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY LESSEN THE DEPTH OF THE CORNER LOTS ON GRIFFIN. SO IT'S KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SIX A HALF, SIX OF ONE AND A HALF A DOZEN OF THE OTHER. SO IF THAT HELPS ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION A LITTLE BIT. OKAY. YEP. THE MAN GESTURES WHILE AT THE PODIUM. ALRIGHT. ALRIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I THINK FOR STAFF. OKAY. THE MAN WALKS AWAY FROM THE PODIUM. WHAT IS, UM, I SEE THAT THE ONE, THE CON ONE OF THE CONDITIONS IS THAT A SPECIAL EXCEPTION ALLOWING THE PROPOSED LAW DIMENSION. SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE REQUIREMENT LAW DIMENSIONS VERSUS THE EXCEPTION THAT WE'RE GONNA TEXT PLAT DETAILS ACREAGE TWO POINT 15 ACRES ZONE OH ONE OFFICE DISTRICT. SO WE DON'T HAVE THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS YET. WE'RE STILL REVIEWING THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION, WHICH IS GONNA SAY HOW MUCH THE PROPOSED, UH, LOT DIMENSIONS ARE VERSUS HOW MUCH THEY SHOULD BE. AND THAT DOES GO TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. THE FLAGS OF THE UNITED STATES AND TEXAS STAND AGAINST A BACK WALL THAT WOULD WITH THIS BEING A PLA RIGHT. THOSE SO YES. SO THE MH STANDARDS, THE REQUIREMENT FOR AN INTERIOR LOT IS GOING TO BE A 50 BY 100 AND SO THEY'RE DOING A SPECIAL EXCEPTION IT SOUNDS LIKE, TO 30, SO FOR A 20 FOOT DIFFERENCE AND THAT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY COUNCIL, TEXT PLANNING AND ZONING.
