[00:00:06]
[1. Call to order and roll call of members]
THERE YOU GO.SO, WE'LL, OUR FIRST ITEM ON OUR, UH, AGENDA WOULD BE THE, UH, ROLL CALL OF MEMBERS.
SO WE'LL, UH, UH, WE'LL CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER.
[2. Approval of July 7, 2025 minutes]
WE NEED TO CONSIDER IS THE APPROVAL OF THE, UH, MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF JULY THE SEVENTH.YOU'VE ALL RECEIVED COPIES OF THOSE MINUTES, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS OR ADDITIONS, WE'LL ENTERTAIN THOSE AT THIS TIME.
ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO ADD? IF NOT, WE'LL JUST, UH, CONSIDER THOSE APPROVED AS SUBMITTED.
AND THEN THE NEXT THING ON OUR AGENDA AND WHICH ONE IS THIS? JUST ONE MORE.
DO WE HAVE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO DO WITH THE, UH, ONE OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS? IF NOT, THEN WE WILL JUST GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD
[4. Public Hearing and Action Items]
TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS, UH, WE HAVE THREE PUBLIC HEARINGS TONIGHT.NUMBER ONE WOULD BE, UH, HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON A ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION, PUD 23 0 0 0 7 MIDLINE PUD A REQUEST TO CREATE A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY.
DISTRICT PUD OVERLAY APPROXIMATELY 466.5 ACRES IN SIZE, GENERALLY LOCATED ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF NASSAU ROAD.
ONE FM 5 28 NORTH OF GRISSOM ROAD AND EAST OF BAY AREA BOULEVARD, AND WEST OF WEST NASA BOULEVARD.
NOW, WHO'S GOING TO, CAITLYN, ARE YOU GONNA DO THIS? YES.
WE'LL HEAR FROM STAFF FIRST AND THEY'LL PRESENT THE, UM, UH, THE, THE, THE ISSUE AS, AS PRESENTED BY, BY STAFF.
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE OUR PUBLIC HEARING, AND THEN, THEN WE WILL HAVE, UH, GO AHEAD.
UM, AS MR. MAYS STATED THAT THIS IS AN APPROXIMATELY 466.5 ACRE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE NORTHEASTERN LIMITS OF LEAGUE CITY.
CITY LIMITS, UM, DIRECTLY TO THE WEST, YOU CAN SEE IS THE CITY OF FRIENDSWOOD, AND DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH IS THE CITY OF HOUSTON.
UM, OF NOTE, APPROXIMATELY 130 ACRES WERE ANNEXED BY THE CITY OF LAKE CITY.
UM, THAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS MIDLINE PUD, TAKING A LOOK AT THE LAND USES.
UM, IT IS LARGELY SINGLE FAMILY WITH SOME COMMERCIAL ELEMENTS.
UM, AND OF NOTE, THERE IS A FOUR ACRE PROPOSED FIRE STATION THAT'S LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF BEAMER ROAD AND GRISSOM ROAD, UM, ON THE SOUTHERN END OF THAT DEVELOPMENT.
SO TAKING A LOOK, UM, AT THE ACREAGE BREAKDOWN OF THE, THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, UM, IT'S ABOUT 466 AND A HALF ACRES.
OF THAT 264 ACRES WILL BE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ABOUT 50 ACRES WILL BE COMMERCIAL.
UM, IN TOTAL THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 1,337 LOTS PROPOSED.
UM, AND BELOW THAT YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN OF, UM, THE LOTS BY PRODUCT TYPE.
THEY RANGE FROM 50 FEET WIDE TO 70 FEET WIDE, UM, WITH THOSE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, UM, THAT MAY HAVE, UM, AN ALLEY USE OR ATTACHED OR DETACHED.
TAKING A LOOK AT THE PARK LAND, UM, 17.8 ACRES IS, UM, REQUIRED FOR PUBLIC PARK LAND AND 17.8 ACRES IS REQUIRED FOR PRIVATE PARK LAND.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, 25.1 ACRES OF PRIVATE PARKLAND HAS BEEN PROVIDED, AND APPROXIMATELY 15 ACRES OF PUBLIC PARKLAND HAS BEEN PROVI PROVIDED.
UM, OUR CALCULATIONS FOR PRIVATE PARKLAND DO INCLUDE OF THE AMEN OF DETENTION AREAS.
UM, AND THE DEVELOPER WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES IN THE EVENT THAT THEY DON'T MEET THE FULL PARKLAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS.
SO IF THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT SHORT IN ACREAGE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY THOSE PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES.
SO, TAKING A LOOK, UM, THIS IS GONNA BE THE PARKS AND TRAILS EXHIBIT.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS A EXTENSIVE TRAILS NETWORK WITHIN THE MIDLINE PUD.
UM, MOST OF THE DETENTION PONDS ARE GONNA BE COMPLETELY WRAPPED AND THE PARKS WILL BE INTERCONNECTED THROUGHOUT
[00:05:01]
THE DEVELOPMENT.SO BASED UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED PUD IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THE PUD DOES PROVIDE ADEQUATE PRIVATE AND PARK LAND, PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PARK LAND AND TRAILS.
UM, THIS PUD WILL FACILITATE THE EXTENSION OF BEAMER ROAD.
THIS PUD WILL ALSO DEDICATE A FOUR ACRE TRACT FOR A FIRE STATION AND A 15 ACRE TRACT FOR A CITY PARK.
UM, BOTH, UH, I'M SORRY, THE PUD WILL PROVIDE BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, UM, AND IT WILL PROPOSE A MIX OF VARIOUS SINGLE FAMILY LOT TYPES.
AND WITH ALL OF THAT IN MIND, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE MIDLINE PUD.
UM, AND I DO WANT TO KNOW, I DID GET ONE FORWARD COMMUNICATION OR, UM, I'M SORRY, ADVANCED NOTIFICATION OF, UM, ONE PROPERTY OWNER THAT WAS IN SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.
SO THAT CONCLUDES YOUR PRESENTATION.
ALRIGHT, UH, THAT BEING SAID, THEN WE WILL, UH, OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT, UH, 6 0 6.
AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE FOUR PEOPLE THAT HAVE, UH, SIGNED UP TO, UH, TO SPEAK FOR THIS.
IF YOU COULD, UH, UH, ISSUE WHEN YOU COME UP TO THE, TO THE MICROPHONE, IF YOU JUST ISSUE A STATEMENT OF, OF NO MORE THAN THREE MINUTES, AND THEN, UH, BUT TELL US WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU LIVE.
SO FIRST WE HAVE, UH, THERESA KELLY.
MY NAME'S, UH, DR. THERESA KELLY.
I AM A PROPERTY OWNER IN AUTUMN LAKES, UH, OFF OF GRISSOM ROAD.
UM, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE PARTICIPATED WITH SOME OF THE WORK, UH, THAT THE CITY HAS DONE.
SO A COUPLE YEARS AGO WHEN THE CITY MANAGER HAD HEARINGS ON GRISSOM ROAD, WHICH WAS A TWO LANE ASPHALT ROAD THAT HAD LOTS OF FLOODING ON IT, WE CAME TO SEVERAL MEETINGS, UH, ASKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
UM, SO I, I'VE STUDIED WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO GRISSOM ROAD, AND MY FIRST THING THAT I'D LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT TODAY IS THE PROPOSED COMMERCIAL, UH, WHAT THEY CALL A FUELING STATION GAS STATION AT THE CORNER OF BEAMER ROAD.
AND GRISSOM WROTE, UM, WHAT'S BEEN PROPOSED AND WHAT CURRENTLY EXISTS ARE ALL HOMES.
SO, UM, BASED ON THE WORK THAT WE SAW ON GRISSOM, IF THERE WAS EVER TO BE A FUEL LEAK OR A FIRE OR A TANKER FIRE THERE AT THAT FUEL STATION AT BEMER AND GRISSOM, THE RUNOFF FROM THAT EVENT WOULD GO DOWN THE STORM SEWERS STRAIGHT TO THE LAKE.
IT'S ALONG THE, THE LINE THAT YOU SEE.
UH, AND THAT STORM SEWER WAS INSTALLED BY THE CITY OF LAKE CITY IN THE GRISSOM ROAD, UH, PROJECT, AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE CREEK.
SO I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A GAS STATION AT BEMER ROAD AND GRISSOM, UH, FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR GAS LEAKS, UH, AND RUNOFF.
UM, I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES THERE OFF OF 5 28 HAVING GAS STATIONS, THAT SEEMS APPROPRIATE.
I'M ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT GAS TANKER TRUCKS COMING TO THIS PROPOSED GAS STATION, THERE'S GONNA BE THREE WAYS THAT THEY CAN GET TO THAT GAS STATION.
ONE WOULD BE DOWN BAY AREA, TURNING LEFT ON GRISSOM ROAD THAT WOULD GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE AUTUMN LAKE SUBDIVISION.
THERE ARE HOMES ON THE RIGHT NORTH AND SOUTH, ALL THE WAY TO THE LEAGUE CITY, UH, WATER TOWERS.
THERE WILL BE HOMEOWNERS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED IN THIS, THAT ARE, UH, NORTH OF GRISSOM ROAD.
THERE, THERE ARE CURRENT HOMEOWNERS THAT LIVE OFF OF MASSING GALE THAT ARE SOUTH OF THERE.
SO A TANKER TRUCK IS GONNA GO STRAIGHT THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT CONCERNS ME OF ANY POTENTIAL ISSUES.
THE OTHER WAY A TANKER TRUCK CAN COME IS DOWN THE NEW PROPOSED BEAMER ROAD THAT ALSO HAS THE SAME ISSUE.
YOU'RE HAVING A TANKER TRUCK GO THROUGH SUBDIVISIONS OF HOMES, SUBDIVISIONS OF PARKS, AND WALKING TRAILS.
THE NEXT WAY THAT A TANKER TRUCK COULD GET THERE WOULD BE OFF WEST NASSAU BOULEVARD.
WHILE THESE DRAWINGS DO NOT SHOW THE NEW ROUNDABOUT, AND I CAN'T SEE A TRUCK MAKING THAT ROUNDABOUT TO GET SOUTH, I GUESS MY TIME IS UP.
[00:10:05]
LOU, UH, MY NAME IS BRIAN BATSON.I HAD A QUESTION, I GUESS FOR THE RECORD.
I DIDN'T HEAR THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE PERSON WHO WAS MAKING THE PRESENTATION.
SO IS THAT GONNA BE ENTERED IN THE RECORD? IS THAT, IS THAT NORMAL THAT YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT TALK WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES? SO IF, IF, IF YOU WOULD TALK INTO THE MIC A LITTLE BIT? I CAN.
OH, CAN YOU HEAR ME? OH, I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS ON THE LINE.
I'M, UH, UH, ALSO A RESIDENT OF AUTUMN LAKES.
I WAS WONDERING IF THE PERSON WHO WAS SPEAKING, IF THEIR NAME'S GONNA BE IN THE RECORD OF THE PRE THE PROCEEDINGS TONIGHT.
I DIDN'T HEAR THEM IDENTIFY THEMSELVES.
IS IT MS. CAITLIN SOMETHING? OKAY.
UH, JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.
I'VE LOOKED AT THE MATERIALS, UH, A LITTLE BIT.
I HAD TWO MAIN QUESTIONS IS WHERE IS THE WATERSHED DEFEN, UH, GONNA BE DEFINED BETWEEN THE DRAINAGE TO THE EAST ACROSS, UH, ALONG THE EASEMENT VERSUS HOW MUCH DRAINAGE FROM THOSE, THE AREA SOUTH OF THERE AND SOUTH OF THOSE PONDS IS GONNA GO ACROSS GRISSOM.
AND LIKE MY WIFE MENTIONED EARLIER, WE WERE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, FLOODING POTENTIAL AND WHEN GRISSOM WAS UPDATED TO SEE HOW, HOW THAT WAS GONNA BE HANDLED.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE DETENTION PONDS ARE GONNA DRAIN TOWARD THE EAST AND THE NORTH THERE.
IF THERE COULD BE MORE DETAIL ON THAT, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
UM, ALSO, THE STREET PATTERN IS NOT DEFINED, AND I IT MAY BE AT THIS LEVEL OF PLANNING.
UH, IS THERE GONNA BE ANY OTHER ACCESS TO GRISSOM BESIDES FROM BEAMER FOR THIS SUBDIVISION THAT, THAT'S NOT SHOWN IN THE DIAGRAMS. UH, AND THE LAST COMMENT I HAD IS, WHAT, WHAT, IF ANY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IS GONNA BE IN PLACE AT THE NEW BEAMER GRISSOM INTERSECTION? IS IT GONNA BE THREE-WAY STOP? GOD, HELP US.
UH, OR IS IT GONNA BE A SIGNAL INTERSECTION? AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.
I LIVE IN AUTUMN LAKES ALSO, AND MY HOUSE, UH, WHEN I MOVED IN THERE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WOULD BE NO HOMES BUILT BEHIND OUR HOUSE, WHERE OUR HOUSE BACKS UP TO A, A, UH, LANE THAT GOES FROM THE WATER TANKS ON DOWN TO, UH, TOWARD, UH, BAY AREA.
AND I'M REALLY UPSET ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE NOTHING THERE.
AND HOUSES ARE GONNA BE BUILT RIGHT UP TO THE WATER TANKS, RIGHT UP TO ACROSS THE ROAD FROM, FROM MY, FROM MY HOUSE.
AND THIS IS A WATER, THIS IS A WETLANDS.
SO WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT TAKING AWAY OUR WETLANDS? IF, IF THEY BUILT A 2,800 HOMES IN THERE THAT'S GOING TO, THERE'LL BE NO WETLANDS, THERE'LL BE NO PLACE FOR WILDLIFE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF WILDLIFE BACK THERE, A LOT OF DEER BACK THERE.
AND ALSO WHAT THEY SAID WITH THE FILLING STATION BEING THERE AT THAT CORNER, WE JUST GOT GRIS AND ROAD FIXED.
AND THEY FINALLY FIXED IT, AND NOW THEY'RE GONNA TEAR IT UP AGAIN.
WHY DON'T THEY BRING BEAMER? IF THEY'VE GOT TO BRING BEAMER IN, WHY DON'T THEY BRING IT IN AT WEST NASA PARKWAY RIGHT THERE BEFORE, BEFORE THE DRAINAGE DITCH, BEFORE THOSE TOWERS, THOSE ELECTRIC TOWERS THAT GO ACROSS THERE.
AND ALSO, ANOTHER THING IS THEY'RE BRINGING THESE, UH, THIS, THIS SUBDIVISION IN HERE WITH THOSE ELECTRIC TOWERS GOING ACROSS THERE.
WELL, I'VE ALWAYS HEARD THAT YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE HOMES CLOSE TO THEM.
THESE HOMES WILL BE ALL SURROUNDED BY THESE BIG TOWERS, WHICH IS NOT SAFE.
AND ANOTHER THING IS TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE ATROCIOUS BRINGING ALL THAT TRAFFIC INTO A DEAD END, INTO GRISSOM ROAD.
THE TRAFFIC WILL BE JUST AWFUL.
I'M GLAD I DON'T GO TO WORK EVERY DAY BECAUSE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUTTA MY SUBDIVISION.
ANOTHER THING IS, ARE THEY GONNA BUILD EXTRA SCHOOLS? YOU'RE TALKING 2,800 HOMES.
WELL, THAT'S, THAT'S A FAMILY OF FOUR, APPROXIMATELY.
FAMILY OF FOUR, THAT'S TWO KIDS.
WHERE ARE THESE KIDS GONNA GO TO SCHOOL? THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SCHOOLS IN THAT AREA.
MY GRANDDAUGHTERS GO TO WESTBROOK AND THEY ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT ALL THAT LAND ACROSS FROM THEIR SCHOOL IS GONNA BE PUT HOUSES, WHICH MEANS THEIR SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE OVERCROWDED IF ALL THOSE KIDS GO TO WESTBROOK OR ANY,
[00:15:01]
AND THERE'S NOT THAT MANY SCHOOLS IN THAT AREA.ANOTHER THING IS, UH, THE WATER SITUATION.
I MEAN, THOSE TA THOSE WATER TANKS WERE BUILT RIGHT BEFORE WE MOVED IN THERE, OR AS WE MOVED INTO THAT AREA.
AND IS THAT GONNA BE ENOUGH WATER FOR THAT MANY HOMES? THAT'S, THAT'S PUTTING A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THERE.
ANOTHER THING IS THE DRAINAGE DITCH.
ARE THEY MAKING THE DRAINAGE DITCH BIG ENOUGH? I SAW THEY, THEY DRILLED IT OUT A LITTLE BIT, BUT IS IT ENOUGH? AND MY HOUSE DID NOT FLOOD IN THAT LAST FLOOD WE HAD, BUT I HAVE A FEELING IT WILL FLOOD NOW THAT THEY'RE PUTTING ALL THOSE HOMES IN THERE.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE, UH, IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO, UH, TO TESTIFY WHETHER YOU SIGNED UP OR NOT? THAT'S FINE.
WOULD THAT BE THE CASE? WE WILL, UH, CLOSE THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING AT, AT, UH, SIX 15.
I WAS LATE SO I DIDN'T SIGN UP, BUT THANK YOU.
UH, I LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF GRISSOM, THE SOUTH SIDE.
AND, UM, SOME OF OUR BIGGEST CONCERNS HAVE FOR YEARS, UH, BEEN THE DRAINAGE OVER THERE.
UH, MY HOME CAME VERY CLOSE TO FLOODING, UH, DURING THE LAST TWO BIG STORMS. AND, UH, ALL OF OUR CONCERNS, THREE OR FOUR NEIGHBORHOODS SOUTH, SOUTH OF, UH, GRISSOM, INCLUDING YOURS, OURS, PROBABLY SOME OTHERS HERE.
UH, WANNA KNOW WHERE THAT WATER'S GONNA GO? I HAVE HEARD OTHERS, I HAVE HEARD SOME STORIES, BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
UH, SINCE WE'RE, UH, LET'S SAY, UH, WHERE IT'S ALL GONNA DRAIN SOUTH DOWN CREEK, LET'S JUST PUT IT THAT WAY, KINDA.
UM, IS IT GONNA GO INTO THE CANALS, THE TWO CANALS THAT RUN, UH, SOUTH? UH, IS IT GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH RETENTION PONDS, UH, IN THAT AREA THAT THEY'RE BUILDING NOW JUST TO HOLD THAT WATER? I KIND OF DON'T THINK SO.
SOME OF THE DELUGES WE GET ARE, ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO, TO MAINTAIN.
UM, ALSO ANOTHER BIG QUESTION I HAVE IS, ARE THEY GOING TO BULLDOZE EVERY TREE OUT OF THERE AS THEY HAVE NORTH OF 5 28? EVERY SINGLE TREE IS GONE.
IF IT'S A FLAT PLANE, WE LIVE ON THE TEXAS GULF COASTAL BIRDING TRAIL.
THERE'S OTHER BIRDERS IN HERE, AND WE, WE REALLY ENJOY THAT, THAT PART OF OUR EXISTENCE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, SO ARE ALL THE TREES GONNA GO EVEN WHERE THEY'RE GONNA PUT RETENTION PONDS AND THEY'RE LITTLE PARK AREAS? IF THEY BULLDOZE EVERY TREE, THERE'S NO SHADE AT THOSE PARK AREAS.
WHO'S GONNA WANNA GO THERE? IT'S ALMOST LIKE CHALLENGER.
YOU KNOW WHERE THEIR PLAY AREA IS? THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO TREE COVER.
THOSE KIDS ARE IN THE SUN ALL DAY LONG WHEN THEY PLAY ON THOSE TOYS.
UM, SO ALL THE TREES ARE GOING, SO ALL THE WILDLIFE, THE FLOOR OF THE FONDA WILL JUST DISAPPEAR.
UH, GREAT COASTAL BIRDING TRAIL.
LAKE CITY LOVES TO PUT THAT IN ALL OF THEIR INFORMATION.
UM, WE ALSO LOVE OUR OAK TREES.
LET'S, LET'S MAKE THIS BEAUTIFUL AS WELL AS USEFUL.
UM, THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO MAKE IT NOT BULLDOZED AND NOT FLOOD.
UM, BECAUSE ALL OF US SOUTH OF GRISSOM ARE GONNA SAY, OKAY, WHO'S GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN WE DO FLOOD? BECAUSE MOST OF US HAVEN'T.
A FEW HAVE BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY ARE DOWN ON THE VERY FAR END, THAT'S VERY LOW, BUT WE'RE VERY CLOSE.
SO ANYWAY, UH, GIVE, UH, PLEASE GIVE SOME CONSIDERATION TO SAVING SOME OF WHAT LEAGUE CITY IS SO PROUD OF.
WE'LL, UH, WE'LL CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AT, UH, SIX 19 AND WHO IS GOING TO, YOU'RE GONNA ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT, AND AT, AT, AT THIS POINT.
WE TYPICALLY GET, UH, QUESTIONS FROM, FROM THE COMMISSION AND, AND WE'LL START DOWN HERE WITH, WITH YOU, PAM.
UM, TO ADDRESS THE FUELING STATION
[00:20:01]
ISSUE, UM, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I I BELIEVE THAT ANY FUELING STATION WOULD REQUIRE AN SUP AND THAT'S JUST NOT AUTOMATIC WITH THIS PUDI MEAN, IT, IT, IT, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO APPLY FOR IT AND WE WOULD HAVE TO GRANT THAT LATER ON, WOULDN'T WE? SO WITH THIS PUD, WHAT WE DID IS WE TOOK THE TYPICAL CONDITIONS THAT WE WOULD APPLY TO A SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND SAID, IF YOU MET THOSE CONDITIONS, A GAS STATION MAY BE ALLOWED AT THE CORNER OF GRISSOM AND BEMER AND THEN ONE AT THE CORNER OF, OR UP ALONG 5 28.SO IT DID TAKE AWAY THAT SUP REQUIREMENT.
I GUESS I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TURN MIND.
UM, I GUESS I WOULD, UM, WANNA KNOW SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT THEY ASKED ABOUT, UM, OUR BEAUTIFUL TREES HERE IN LEAGUE CITY.
THAT'S ONE OF THE POINTS OF PRIDE HERE IN LEAGUE CITY.
UM, IF, IF WE DO HAVE ALL OF THE LAND SET ASIDE FOR PARKS, UM, HOW MUCH CONSIDERATION HAS BEEN BEING GIVEN TO THE TREES? SURE.
SO I CAN ANSWER THAT IN A GENERAL, UM, SENSE.
AND THEN I'LL LET, UM, MATT STOOPS COME UP HERE, THE APPLICANT AND TELL YOU WHAT THEY ACTUALLY PLAN TO DO.
BUT THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH OUR TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE.
SO EVERY TREE THAT'S REMOVED, THEY HAVE TO MITIGATE FOR, AND THAT'S EITHER PLANTING ADDITIONAL TREES OR PROVIDING MONEY.
UM, SO THE CITY CAN GO PLANT TREES ELSEWHERE IN THE CITY OR IN THIS GENERAL AREA.
SO THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THAT ORDINANCE.
THERE'S NO EXCEPTION TO IT IN THE PUT DOCUMENT.
MATT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA SPEAK TO THEIR ACTUAL INTENTIONS OF SAVING THE TREE.
UH, MATT STOOPS WITH LJA, UH, I'M THE PLANNER ON THE PROJECT.
UM, AS FAR AS THE TREE GOES, JUST LIKE CHRIS MENTIONED, WE'RE GONNA DO A TREE, WHAT'S CALLED A TREE DISPOSITION PLAN.
WHAT, WHY DON'T YOU, WHY DON'T YOU TELL EVERYBODY WHAT LJA IS? OH, SORRY.
LJA ENGINEERING, WE ARE THE ENGINEERS AND LAND PLANNERS FOR THE PROJECT.
UM, WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING, WE, WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO A TREE MITIGATION PLAN.
AND WHAT THAT SAYS IS WE LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE TREE THAT'S ON THE SITE.
WE HAVE TO PROVIDE A SURVEY SAYING THAT, UH, WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY ANY TREES THAT ARE PROTECTED IN THAT TREE MITIGATION PLAN.
IF THEY'RE PROTECTED AND WE CAN'T PROTECT THEM, WE WILL.
UM, IF WE CAN'T BECAUSE THERE'S THE DETENTION AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE THERE OR SOMETHING ELSE LIKE THAT, THEN WE'LL MITIGATE THOSE.
WE'RE PROBABLY, I DOUBT SERIOUSLY THAT WE'RE GONNA DO THE PAYMENT.
WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA GO IN AND PLANT ADDITIONAL TREES THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT TO COMPENSATE FOR THAT, THOSE LOSS OF TREES OF ANY THAT MIGHT OCCUR.
SO HOW MANY BIG OAK TREES DO WE HAVE OUT THERE? I MEAN, 'CAUSE PLANTING A NEW TREE FOR AN OLD OAK TREE IS KIND OF THE SAME THING.
UM, BUT I, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY THERE ARE.
UH, WE HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT IN THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL.
WE TYPICALLY DON'T GET INTO THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL UNTIL WE GET MUCH FARTHER DOWN THE LINE WHERE WE'VE GOT LOT LAYOUTS FOR ALL THE SECTIONS AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, BUT WE, WE'LL, WE WILL DO THAT.
AND THEN OF COURSE, OBVIOUSLY AFTER HURRICANE HARVEY, WE'VE RAISED OUR AMOUNT OF DETENTION AND RETENTION PONDS AND ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF HOW HIGH THINGS HAVE TO BE BUILT.
BUT I THINK THE PEOPLE WANT A LITTLE BIT OF REASSURANCE ABOUT, UM, ABOUT WHAT THE DETENTION PONDS ARE.
SO THE, A COUPLE THINGS ABOUT THE DETENTION SYSTEM, FIRST OF ALL, AND, AND THIS IS FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE HAVE TO GO IN AND DO A FULL BLOWN DRAINAGE STUDY ON THIS PROPERTY.
AND, AND NOT THAT WE HAVEN'T ALREADY LOOKED AT IT, WE HAVE, BUT WE ARE, THERE'S A, THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER STEP TO THIS WHERE WE HAVE TO GO IN AND DO A HIGHLY DETAILED STUDY WHERE WE DO MODELING AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF TO PROVE OUT THAT AT FULL DEVELOPMENT WE'RE NOT GONNA CAUSE ANY ADDITIONAL FLOODING.
UM, AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ACCOUNTING FOR ALL ONSITE DETENTION THAT'S REQUIRED.
UM, WHAT WE HAVE SHOWN HERE WITH THIS PLAN IS THAT, UH, IF YOU, AND I WISH I HAD A POINTER, BUT, UM, THERE'S DRAINAGE DITCH RIGHT HERE THAT GOES TO THE, UH, THAT GOES OUT TO THE EAST.
THAT'S WHERE THE WHOLE PROJECT'S GONNA BE DRAINING TO.
SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE DRAINING SOUTH ACROSS GRISSOM ROAD.
IT'S GONNA GO TOWARD THE OH, WONDERFUL.
IT'S GONNA GO, NO, DOESN'T WANNA SEE IT.
UM,
SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE GOING SOUTH ACROSS GSON ROAD.
WILL THAT ROAD FLOOD RIGHT THERE? WHERE GOES? WELL, I CAN'T SAY IF IT'LL NEVER
[00:25:01]
FLOOD.I MEAN, IF WE HAVE A HURRICANE HARVEY.
WELL, AND HURRICANE HARVEY IS A, IS A VERY EXTREME EVENT.
SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT THAT ROAD IS, THAT'S A WATER MOVEMENT.
IT'S SO, YEAH, WE WON'T, WE WON'T, WE CAN'T TAKE, WE, WE CAN'T TAKE QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE AT THIS, AT THIS STAGE, BUT THE, UH, THE COMMISSION IS, IS, IS YES.
SO WHAT, WHAT, LIKE I SAID, THE, THE DRAINAGE FROM THE VARIOUS RESIDENTIAL SUBSECTIONS OR THE COMMERCIAL AREAS, THEY WILL BE DRAINING INTO THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR THE PROJECT.
AND THAT OUTFALL IS, UH, GOES TO THE EAST, UH, JUST SOUTH OF THE, OR JUST NORTH, EXCUSE ME, OF THOSE POWER LINES, THOSE BIG TRANSMISSION LINES THAT GO THROUGH THE PROJECT.
HI, UH, MATTHEW BROWN WITH THE, UH, LEAGUE CITIES ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
I JUST WANNA REASSURE EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE ALONG WITH THE, UH, COMMISSION THAT BY CITY REQUIREMENTS AND STATE LAW, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ADVERSELY IMPACT ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE LOOK AT IN, IN HIGH DETAIL WHEN HE'S SPEAKING OF THIS, THIS DRAINAGE ANALYSIS, THIS DRAINAGE REPORT THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT ALL DRAINAGE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT IS CONTAINED WITHIN.
UM, ONE OF THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS IS THAT NO MORE THAN NINE INCHES OF PONDING IS ALLOWED ON NEW ROADS, UH, IN A HUNDRED YEAR EVENT.
NOW, I KNOW SOME OF THE SURROUNDING ROADS AREN'T NEW ROADS, BUT THAT HOW THOSE ROADS ARE PROTECTED, AGAIN, AS BY STATE LAW, THEY CAN'T ADVERSELY, UH, IMPACT THOSE ADJACENT ROADWAYS.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL BE LOOKING AT CLOSELY TO, TO CONFIRM THAT.
UM, WE HAVE HEIGHTENED CRITERIA FOR THE PONDS.
UM, NOT, NOT ALL OF YOUR NEIGHBORING CITIES HAVE THE, THE HEIGHTENED REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS FREEBOARD, WE REQUIRE TWO FEET OF FREEBOARD ABOVE THE A HUNDRED YEAR EVENT IN ALL PONDS.
SO THAT GIVES YOU SOMATIC CAPACITY.
UM, AND THAT'S JUST, THAT'S JUST A HANDFUL OF THINGS THAT, THAT PROTECT AGAINST SOME OF THESE EXTREME EVENTS.
I, I, I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY THOUGH, HARVEY WAS A, A, A VERY EXTREME EVENT, UM, AN EVENT THAT, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE ISN'T DESIGNED FOR.
BUT I'M, I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS MIGHT HAVE REGARDING THAT.
AND I DON'T WANNA MONOPOLIZE, BUT I HAVE ONE MORE JUST, UM, THE WETLANDS THAT, UM, WAS ADDRESSED.
SO, UM, ARE THEY TECHNICALLY CONSIDERED WETLANDS? AND WHAT IS THE, UM, CONTENTION FOR THAT? SO ANY WETLANDS ON SITE, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO FOLLOW THE REGULATIONS FROM THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS.
SO IF THERE ARE WHAT'S CALLED JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS, THEY'LL HAVE TO GET PERMITS FROM THE ARMY CORPS TO, UH, MITIGATE FOR THOSE WETLANDS AS WELL.
DO WE KNOW IF THESE ARE NO, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS ON THE SITE.
HE SAID THERE'S NO JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS ON THE SITE.
ANGIE COVERED WHAT I WAS GONNA GO OVER.
WELL, LET'S GO DOWN TO, TO RUTH.
YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? UH, I DO.
UM, ARE WE AT THE POINT WHERE WE WOULD'VE ALREADY DONE AN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY ENDANGERED SPECIES ON THE SITE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? SINCE THERE'S SOME WETLAND THROUGH THE PUT EXERCISE, WE'VE, WE'VE NOT DONE THAT LEVEL.
HAVE Y'ALL DONE AN INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT? SO THIS, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN OWNED BY, UH, COVENTRY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR DECADES.
UM, AND PART OF THAT PROCESS, UH, BECAUSE THEY DO OWN PROPERTY LIKE THIS AND THEN EVENTUALLY DEVELOP IT, UM, PART OF THIS PROCESS IS, IS TO MONITOR THE PROPERTY FOR THINGS LIKE ENDANGERED SPECIES AND SO FORTH.
UH, A PHASE ONE ENVIRONMENTAL WAS DONE A LONG TIME AGO.
IT'S MAINTAINED AND UPDATED REGULARLY TO VERIFY THAT THERE IS, THERE ARE NO ENDANGERED SPECIES ON SITE.
UM, AND ANOTHER QUESTION SINCE YOU'RE AT THE MIC.
UH, YOU SAID THAT ALL THE DRAINAGE WAS GONNA GO INTO THE DRAINAGE DITCH AND DRAIN TO THE EAST.
WHERE DOES IT STOP? UH, SO IT'S OFF SITE, BUT WHAT IT DOES IS, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IT, I DON'T RECALL HOW FAR, BUT IT'S, IT, IT BASICALLY CONTINUES TO THE EAST AND THEN MAKES A A, A RIGHT TURN AND GOES DIRECTLY SOUTH INTO CLEAR CREEK.
THAT'S WHAT I WONDERED WAS GOING, YEAH.
AND, AND ONE MORE THING ABOUT THE, UH, ONE MORE THING ABOUT THE, THE, THE DRAINAGE, UM, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THAT, THAT DIRECTION, THAT DRAINAGE DIRECTION FLOWS, HIS ANALYSIS OR THIS DEVELOPMENTS ANALYSIS IS GONNA HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT
[00:30:01]
THE PRE-DEVELOPED FLOW RATE IS THAT, THAT THAT EXISTS BEFORE THIS GROUND IS EVEN TOUCHED.AND THAT THAT REPORT IS GONNA HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THAT FLOW RATE ISN'T EXCEEDED.
SO, UM, ONCE THIS DEVELOPMENT COMES ON BOARD, THEY HAVE TO RESTRICT THAT FLOW OR, OR DETAIN THAT FLOW.
THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THESE, THESE PONDS, YOU'LL SEE, UH, STRUCTURES THAT RESTRICT THAT FLOW TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S METERED OR RESTRICTED TO NOT EXCEED THE PRE-DEVELOPMENT FLOW.
SO WHAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING NOW, YOU ARE NOT GONNA EXPERIENCE ANYTHING WORSE THAN WHAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING NOW.
AND, AND IN, IN SOME CASES, IT, IT COULD GET BETTER.
I CAN'T SAY THAT DEFINITIVELY BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T DONE THAT, THAT REPORT YET, BUT YOU CERTAINLY WON'T SEE WORSENED CONDITIONS.
I HAVE ONE MORE, IF THAT'S OKAY.
GO AHEAD, CHRIS, THIS IS FOR YOU.
UM, IS THIS ALONG THE, THE GREAT TEXAS GULF COAST BIRDING TRAIL, AND IF SO, IS THAT SHOWN HERE TO BE PARKLANDS WETLANDS, WHATEVER? I, I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT.
I'M NOT, I'M NOT FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH IT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT GOES AND IF THAT IS A TRUE CONCERN FOR THE CITY, I JUST, I, I COULDN'T TELL YOU IF IT'S A LONG THAT TRAIL NOT.
JOEL, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? SURE, YEAH, JUST ONE.
SO ON THE, THE SCHOOL QUESTION THAT WAS RAISED, SO HAVE YOU GUYS TALKED TO C-C-I-S-D, UH, DO THEY HAVE CONCERNS FOR WHERE THESE STUDENTS ARE GOING? CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT? YES, SIR.
UM, SO YES, WE MEET WITH C-C-I-S-D QUARTERLY.
UM, IN, IN ADDITION TO THAT, THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS SENT TO THEM, UM, AND ASKED IF THEY DO NEED A SCHOOL SAFE SITE FOR ALL OF OUR PUD DEVELOPMENTS AND ALL OF OUR MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES.
THAT'S ALL SENT TO THE RELEVANT SCHOOL DISTRICT.
IN THIS CASE, THEY INDICATED THAT THEIR SCHOOL CAPACITY WAS SUFFICIENT, UM, TO HOLD THE POPULATION, UM, FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND THEY DID NOT NEED AN ADDITIONAL SCHOOL SITE.
IN THE, IN THE VERY ORIGINAL PLANS THAT WE SHOWED THE CITY WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS PROCESS MANY, MANY MONTHS AGO, WE ORIGINALLY HAD A SCHOOL SITE IN IT, UH, BUT CLEAR CREEK ISD SPECIFICALLY SAID, WE DON'T WANT IT.
AND WE, WE WOULDN'T WANNA PURCHASE ONE.
SO WE, WE DID INITIALLY ALLOW FOR IT, BUT TOOK IT OUT AT THEIR REQUEST.
DO, DO YOU RECALL WHAT, WHAT ELEMENTARY, JUNIOR, HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL THESE KIDS WILL BE ZONED TO? NO, SIR.
THAT CHANGES ALL THE TIME TOO.
YOU REFER SEVERAL TIMES IN THE, IN THE ENGINEERING, UH, STUDY TO A MUD.
IS THERE A MUD ALREADY ESTABLISHED IN THIS PROJECT? UM, WELL, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
UH, NORMALLY IN, IN THE CASE OF ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT, YOU FORM A MUD, UH, IN THIS CASE, UM, WHAT IS GONNA BE DONE IS THIS IS GOING TO BE JOINED INTO WHAT'S CALLED THE BAYBROOK MUD.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN PROPOSING TO THE CITY.
WE ARE, WE'RE ACTUALLY STILL HAVING DISCUSSIONS ON IT, UH, TO WRAP UP A COUPLE OF SMALL DETAILS.
UM, AND THE IDEA IS THAT THEY JOIN THE BAYBROOK MUD AND USE THAT FOR UTILITIES BECAUSE OF A WIDE VARIETY OF REASONS.
SO IT IT, IT WILL BE A, IT WILL BE A PART OF THAT MUD YES.
IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME.
UM, IT'S ACTUALLY THE MUD THAT SERVES BAYBROOK MALL.
OH, IS THAT THE ONE THAT WAS BEHIND BAYBROOK? IT'S PART BAYBROOK MALL ITSELF IS PART OF THAT MUD.
SO IT'S, THE GOOD THING ABOUT THAT IS, UH, IT'S HEAVILY, IT, IT ALREADY HAS A LOT OF VALUE ON THE GROUND.
IT'S GOT A TON OF BONDING CAPACITY.
SO IT, IT'S NOT THE TYPE OF SITUATION WHERE YOU'VE GOTTA, WHEN YOU GO IN AND START A BRAND NEW MUD, UH, YOU HAVE TO PUT VALUE ON THE GROUND TO DEVELOP BONDING CAPACITY, BAYBROOK MUD, BECAUSE OF ALL THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S, THAT IS EXISTS TODAY.
THERE IS A TON OF BONDING CAPACITY RIGHT NOW TODAY THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT.
AND YOU, YOU GUYS ARE, ARE SATISFIED THAT THERE'S, THERE'S ADEQUATE, UH, WATER AND SEWER CAPACITY TO HANDLE ALL OF THIS? YES, SIR.
THE, THE ENGINEERS HAVE WHERE THE SEWER GO, SORRY, SEWAGE.
WHERE DOES IT GO? I'M GONNA LET MATT SPEAK TO THAT ONE.
'CAUSE AS I SAID, I'M A PLANNER.
SO
[00:35:01]
AND ANY DEVELOPMENT OF THIS NATURE, WE, WE COMPARE WITH, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO OUR CITY'S MASTER, UH, PLANS OR CITY MASTER MODELS FOR WATER, UH, SANITARY, EVEN, EVEN DRAINAGE.UH, THOSE ARE HIGH LEVEL, UH, STUDIES THAT, THAT WE HAVE DONE ON THE CITY'S BEHALF TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT INFRASTRUCTURE SIZE APPROPRIATELY TO, TO, UH, MESH WITH WHAT WE PERCEIVE AS BUILD OUT POPULATION, SO TO SPEAK.
THEN WE, WE, WE, WE USE THAT, THAT DATA TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE A LOOK AT DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN COEXIST.
THAT'S THE, THE, THE, AND YOU KNOW, THE, THE GENERAL ANSWER IS WE HAVE TAKEN A LOOK AT THAT.
WE HAVE, UM, DETERMINED WHAT'S CALLED EDS OR EQUIVALENT DOMESTIC UNITS.
UM, THERE'S A CERTAIN NUMBER OF EU THAT ARE ALLOWED, OR THERE'S A CERTAIN NUMBER OF EDUS THAT CONSTITUTE A DEVELOPMENT'S CAPACITY, UM, BASED ON OUR, OUR CITY'S MASTER PLANS.
UH, SO WE, WE COMMUNICATE THAT TO A DEVELOPMENT.
WE SAY, HEY, THIS IS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF EDUS YOU HAVE BASED ON WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE.
IF YOU NEED MORE THAN THIS, THEY HAVE AN OP, THEY HAVE AN, UM, AN ALTERNATIVE TO, TO DO A STUDY AT THEIR COST AND, AND FIGURE OUT WHAT TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS THEY CAN MAKE ON THEIR DIME TO ACHIEVE FURTHER CAPACITY.
BUT LONG STORY SHORT, IN THE PUD PROCESS, WE DO CONFIRM THAT THAT CAPACITY IS THERE FOR WATER AND SEWER AND EVERYTHING JIVES FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.
THAT'S INTER THAT'S, THAT'S INTERESTING.
QUE ANSWER ACTUALLY, UH, BACK WHEN I WAS IN FRIENDSWOOD A LONG, LONG TIME AGO, AND THEY FINISHED THE, UH, REGIONAL SEWER PLANT MM-HMM
THE OWNER OF THESE PROPER, THESE PROPERTIES, LIKE AT THE TIME THEY WERE IN NEW YORK OR SOMEWHERE PREPAID FOR THEIR CAPACITY.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? UM, I, I, I SUPPOSE IT WAS, I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BRING THAT UP
NO, I, I SUPPOSE EVERY CITY COULD DO THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY, BUT I CAN, I CAN SPEAK FOR, FOR LEAGUE CITY, WE, WE'VE GOT MASTER PLANS THAT, THAT HAVE BEEN ANALYZED BY, BY CON CONSULTANTS, AND WE ARE ABLE TO DETERMINE EXACT AMOUNTS OF WATER AND SANITARY THAT WE CAN PROVIDE FOR DEVELOPMENTS, AND THEY HAVE TO ABIDE BY THAT.
OR IF THEY NEED MORE THAN THAT, THEY NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS THEY NEED TO MAKE TO OUR SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE THE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.
AND IT, SO AS FAR AS DRAINAGE CONCERNED, THEN IT'S ALL UNDER THE, UH, CONCERN OF THE HARRIS COUNTY DRAINAGE AUTHORITY.
SO, SO OUR, OUR, OUR DRAINAGE CRITERIA, OUR, OUR DRAINAGE CRITERIA HAS, OR WE HAVE ADOPTED HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROLS, UH, CRITERIA EXCEPT FOR SOME, SOME, UM, SMALL AREAS WHERE OUR CRITERIA IN THERE, THERE'S DIFFER.
UM, WE'VE GOT, WE'VE GOT SOME HEIGHTENED, UH, CRITERIA REQUIREMENTS THAT, THAT HARRIS COUNTY DONE DOESN'T.
EARLIER WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE FREE BOARD, UH, TWO FEET ABOVE THE, THE A HUNDRED YEAR, UH, UH, STORM EVENT IN, IN PONDS, THAT THAT'S, THAT'S A SPECIFIC LEAGUE CITY REQUIREMENT THAT ISN'T IN HARRIS COUNTY'S CRITERIA.
IT, IT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND THE, THE NINE INCHES OF PONDING IN A STREET FOR A HUNDRED YEAR EVENT.
THAT'S A, UH, SPECIFIC LEAGUE CITY CRITERIA THAT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND HARRIS COUNTIES.
SO I WOULD TELL YOU, UM, HARRIS COUNTY'S CRITERIA IS, IS WHAT WE FOLLOW, EXCEPT FOR A, A COUPLE INSTANCES WHERE WE, WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND.
SO REGARDLESS, IT, IT, IT WILL GO TO CLEAR CREEK.
LIKE I SAID, WE HAVEN'T, WE HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THAT.
WELL, DIDN'T ANYWHERE ELSE GO EXCEPT IN THE HOUSE.
YOU KNOW, SO IT, UH, OKAY, WELL GOOD.
THAT, THAT'S, UH, THAT, THAT'S A GOOD THING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M SO SORRY.
NOT BLESS ON THE MUD FOR BAYBROOK.
UM, ARE THERE ANY HOUSES THAT ARE IN THAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO, UM, BE OUT OF THE MUD AT SOME POINT? LIKE, YOU KNOW HOW WE DID THE LANDING AND THEN WE ADDED IN THOSE NUDE SUBDIVISIONS INTO THE LANDING MUD THAT WAS ABOUT TO END AND KIND OF CONTRACTED THOSE PEOPLE BACK IN? UH, THE CURRENT THING, UH, THE CURRENT BAYBROOK MUD, TO
[00:40:01]
MY KNOWLEDGE, HAS NO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN IT.IT IS SIMPLY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE MOMENT.
UM, AND ANYTHING THAT'S IN WHATEVER'S IN LEAGUE CITY IS GONNA STAY IN LEAGUE CITY AND WHATEVER'S OUTSIDE OF LEAGUE CITY IS GONNA STAY OUTSIDE OF LEAGUE CITY.
SO THERE WON'T BE ANY IMPACT FROM THAT.
BUT ALL THE HOUSES THAT ARE GONNA BE BUILT IN THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WILL BE PART OF THE MUD, IS THAT RIGHT? YES, SIR.
AND THEY WILL BE DOUBLE TAXED, SO THEY'LL BE, THEY'LL BE TAXED JUST THE SAME AS ANY OTHER MUD THAT IS IN LEAGUE CITY.
BUT LIKE ANY OTHER LEAGUE, LIKE, LIKE ANY OTHER MUD IN LEAGUE CITY, UM, UH, OR AT LEAST THE ONES THAT I'VE, WELL, WE DON'T HAVE MANY.
WE'RE TRYING, THEY ALL HAVE STAY AWAY FROM, THEY ALL HAVE AN AUTO DESTRUCT.
IN OTHER WORDS, AT A CERTAIN POINT THEY GO AWAY.
THAT'S WHY I WAS MAKING SURE IT'S NOT GONNA EXTEND SOMEBODY'S MUD TIME.
IT, IT, IT, THE, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY YEARS.
UH, SO, UH, BUT THEY, THEY DO IT NOW.
THEY'VE DONE IT NOW FOR SEVERAL YEARS WHERE, UM, ANY MUD THAT'S CREATED IN LEAGUE CITY HAS A, HAS A, A DEADLINE WHERE IT STOPS.
AND THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE CHANGE A LITTLE BIT BETWEEN, FROM MUD TO MUD, BUT THEY ALL HAVE A, A, A STOPPING POINT.
THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE, UH, THE, UH, SERVICE STATIONS.
CHRIS, DID YOU, DID YOU ADDRESS THAT? WHAT ARE THEY, DO THEY COME THEY COME UNDER OUR, OUR YES SIR.
SO THIS PD HAS SOME SPECIFIC CRITERIA THAT SERVICE STATIONS WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW, AND IT PERMITS TWO BY RIGHT ONE AT GRISSOM AND, UM, BEAMER AND THE OTHER UP ON 5 28.
AND SO IT DOESN'T SAY A SERVICE STATION HAS TO BE THERE, IT'S JUST AN ALLOWED USE AT THOSE TWO LOCATIONS.
SO THEY, AND THEY'LL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE GENERAT BACKUP GENERATORS THAT ALL THE NEW ONES ARE HAVING NOW.
IT WOULD HAVE THE TYPICAL CONDITIONS THAT, UM, YOU SEE WITH THE OTHER GAS STATIONS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION? A LOT OF, A LOT OF, A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? NO.
UM, SO WHAT WE WILL DO IS, UM, MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO, UH, CITY COUNCIL AND WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER RIGHT NOW.
IS THERE A MOTION I'LL MOVE THAT WE, UH, RECOMMEND CITY ACCOUNT, UH, TO CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION, PUD 23 DASH 0 0 0 7, MIDLINE, PUD, AND THE REQUEST FOR THE PUD OVERLAY DISTRICT, UM, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? WHAT'D Y'ALL TALK ABOUT? WHAT'D YOU DECIDE ON THE TREES? I, SO WERE THEY GONNA JUST CUT DOWN ALL THOSE TREES AND SO THEY'RE, THEY, UM, THEY'RE GONNA SAVE WHATEVER TREES THEY CAN.
UM, THE TREES THEY CAN'T SAVE.
THEY'LL BE REQUIRED TO MITIGATE FOR, SO THEY'LL EITHER BE REQUIRED TO PLANT NEW TREES, UM, IN AN EQUAL AMOUNT.
AND IN FACT, THERE'S A MULTIPLIER, UM, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE TREE.
SO YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE PLANT MORE CALIPER INCHES THAN YOU TOOK OUT, OR YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY A FEE INTO THE TREE MITIGATION FUND WHERE THE CITY WOULD THEN USE THOSE FUNDS TO PLANT NEW TREES.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? CAN I GO AHEAD, JUST HAVE A MOMENT.
NOT A QUESTION, BUT I, I KNOW I SPEAK FOR ALL OF US WHEN WE SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND VOICING YOUR CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
THE TREES, THE TREE SITUATION IS SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF US DON'T LIKE, BUT THE CITY HAS COME UP WITH A FORMULA OF HOW TO DO THOSE.
SO MAYBE TALK TO THE CITY MANAGER OR THE CITY COUNCIL IF YOU HAVE DIFFERENT SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THAT.
OKAY, WE'LL JUST, UH, WE'LL MOVE INTO THE, UH, UH, WE'LL CALL THE QUESTION THEN.
UH, THERE IS A MOTION TO, TO APPROVE AS RECOMMENDED BY, UH, STAFF AND THERE IS A SECOND TO THAT.
SO THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS,
[00:45:01]
THEY WILL CALL THE QUESTION.AND THIS WILL, THIS WILL GO WITH THE, UH, CONDITIONS.
IT WILL GO TO CITY COUNCIL AND I THINK, WHAT, WHAT'S THE DATE OF THE, OF THEIR MEETING? UH, CHRIS, DO YOU KNOW? YES, SIR.
THIS ONE WILL GO TO CITY COUNCIL ON AUGUST 12TH WITH A SECOND READING ON AUGUST 26TH.
SO THE, THEIR PUBLIC HEARING IS GONNA BE ON THE 12TH? YES, SIR.
SO THAT'S A COUPLE OF WEEKS FROM NOW.
THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE, UH, NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA.
JUST WANT TO SAY THAT MITIGATION MEANS THAT OLD GROWTH IS GONE.
CAN WE HAVE MATH BACK UP? I, I, I I'M NOT HEARING YOU.
WAS THAT SOMETHING I NEEDED TO HEAR?
UM, SO THE NEXT ITEM THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER IS A, UH, HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING, PUD 24 0 0 2 LLOYD PUD NORTH A REQUEST TO CREATE A PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT PUD OVERLAY DISTRICT APPROXIMATELY, WAIT A MINUTE, I'M LOOKING, I'M SORRY.

THIS IS RIGHT BEHIND, RIGHT BEHIND KROGER, RIGHT? YES, SIR, IT IS.
UM, BY THE WAY, I'M ANN WILLIAMS PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
UM, SO THIS PROPERTY IS AT 3 44 SOUTH EGRET BAY.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE SOUTH OF FIVE CORNERS ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF EGRET BAY.
UM, JUST NORTH THE PROPERTY RIGHT NORTH OF IT IS ONE OF THE CITY PROPERTIES, A FORMER EMS BUILDING THAT NOW HOUSES OUR IT DEPARTMENT.
SO THIS IS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE, UM, THE PROPOSED CAR.
IT'S FOR A, A PROPOSED CAR WASH.
UM, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A 6,204 SQUARE FOOT SINGLE TUNNEL CONVEYOR CAR WASH WITH 23 SELF-SERVICE VACUUM STALLS.
ACCESS WILL BE FROM EGRET BAY VIA A DRIVEWAY EASEMENT ON THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH.

THE ENTIRE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED WITH, UM, HEDGING AND TREES AND THEY HAVE SOME, UM, ENHANCED LANDSCAPING WITH A BERM ALONG, UM, FM TWO 70 THAT IS GOING TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL SCREENING OF THE CAR WASH ENTRANCE.
ON THE SLIDE IN FRONT OF YOU IS, UM, THEIR PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.
AND HERE'S A COMPUTER RENDERING OF THE DEVELOPMENT ON THIS SLIDE IS THE PROXIMITY BUFFER MAP.
UM, IF YOU LOOK AT IT, IT SHOWS ON THE LITTLE DOTS ALL OF THE CAR WASHES THAT ARE WITHIN A THREE MILE RADIUS.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS FOUR CAR WASHES WITHIN A ONE MILE RADIUS.
THERE IS, UM, ONE CAR WASH AND, UM, SEVEN WITHIN THAT LOCATED IN THE THREE MILE
[00:50:01]
BUFFER RANGE.STAFF FINDS THAT THE PROPOSED USE IS ALLOWED IN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONE DISTRICT WITH THE APPROVAL OF AN SUP.
THE PROPOSAL CONFIRMS WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, UM, AND THE PROPERTY WILL BE ACCESSED, LIKE I SAID, FROM SO EGRESS BAY, EGRET BAY ALONG, UM, ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH.
BASED ON THE CRITERIA LISTED ABOVE, STAFFER RECOMMENDS APPROVAL TO THE SP WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.
UM, THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT EXPIRATION TIMEFRAME, THE LIMITED USE ON THIS SITE WILL BE SPECIFICALLY CAR WASH.
UM, THE SITE LAYOUT AND LOCATION SHALL BE SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THAT, WHICH IS DISPLAYED IN THE PLANS, AND THERE WILL BE ENHANCED LANDSCAPING AND SIGNAGE REQUIREMENTS.
THE APPLICANT IS HERE FOR QUESTIONS AS WELL AS, OKAY, VERY GOOD.
THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE, UM, THE PUBLIC HEARING AT, UM, 6 51.
WRITE THAT DOWN BEFORE I FORGET.
AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AT THIS PARTICULAR PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WANTS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? IT'S YET ANOTHER CAR WASH.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE CLEANEST CARS IN GALVESTON COUNTY.
SO, UH, IF WE DON'T THEN WE'LL CLOSE THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 51 AND HERE FROM THE COMMISSION.
WHY DON'T WE START DOWN HERE WITH RUTH? HOW ABOUT THAT
I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE.
YOU HAVE ANYTHING MATT? MM-HMM SIR.
DO THEY PLAN ON HAVING ANY GASOLINE SALES, LIKE SOME OF THESE PLACES PUT IN PUMPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OR IS IT STRICTLY GONNA BE CAR WASH? IT WILL STRICTLY BE CAR WASH.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS OF STAFF? IF NOT, THEN WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL.
I MOVE THAT WE, UM, THAT WE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION SUP 25 0 0 0 1 FOR THE ZAZA CAR WASH, UM, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
AND THAT MOTION IS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
NEXT ITEM WE HAVE, LET'S SEE IF I'M ON THE RIGHT.
OKAY, NEXT WE HAVE, UH, HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON A SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION SUP 25 0 0 0 2 MAGNOLIA CREEK SELF STORAGE TO ALLOW A SELF STORAGE USE ON APPROXIMATELY 3.0552 ACRES.
ZONE CG GENERAL COMMERCIAL GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF WEST LEAGUE CITY PARKWAY AND BAY AREA BOULEVARD WITH THE ADDRESS OF 1425 BAY AREA BOULEVARD.
YOU WANNA TELL US ABOUT THIS? SURE.
THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ZONED GENERAL COMMERCIAL IN THE MAGNOLIA CREEK OVERLAY.
UM, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSIST OF THREE A THREE STORY BUILDING WITH APPROXIMATELY 102,000 SQUARE FEET OF LEASEABLE AREA.
ALL STORAGE UNITS WILL BE LOCATED INSIDE THE BUILDING.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS, IT'S BASICALLY THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT OF THE MAGNOLIA CREEK SUBDIVISION.
UM, THERE ARE SOME EXISTING COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH ALONG LAKE CITY PARKWAY, AND ON THE CORNER A NEW DEVELOPMENT IS GOING IN AND ALONG BAY AREA, ALONG THE SAME TRACK IS STILL OPEN AND NOT DEVELOPED, BUT WILL BE DEVELOPED IN THE FUTURE.
[00:55:05]
AS I SAID, THIS IS A THREE STORY BUILDING, UM, WITH A GROSS FLOOR AREA OF 136,000 SQUARE FEET ON THEIR LANDSCAPING PLAN.THEY HAVE ADVANCED LANDSCAPING AND ONE OF THE THINGS WITH THIS SUP IS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PUT IN A SIX FOOT TRAIL THAT WILL CONNECT TO THE, UM, TO THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL THAT'S ON THIS ALONG THE SOUTH OF THE OR NORTH OF THE PROPERTY.
HERE'S THE COMPUTER RENDERING OF WHAT THE BUILDING WILL LOOK LIKE, AS WELL AS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE WITH WHAT IS EXISTING.
SO YOU CAN KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF HOW IT'S KIND OF TUCKED BACK BEHIND THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.
THIS IS THE VIEW FROM ABOUT THE CORNER OF LAKE CITY PARKWAY AND BAY AREA BOULEVARD.
AND HERE'S ANOTHER VIEW FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
SO IT'S TUCKED BACK BEHIND THE EXISTING RETAIL BUILDINGS.
HERE'S ANOTHER PROXIMITY BUFFER MAP.
YOU CAN SEE THAT, UM, ALTHOUGH I CAN'T SEE THE NUMBERS UP THERE,
IN THE ONE MILE BUFFER, I BELIEVE THERE'S JUST ONE.
AND IN THE TWO MILE BUFFER ZONE THERE ARE THREE, AND THEN THERE'S A HANDFUL IN THE THREE MILE BUFFER AREA.
STAFF FINDINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS.
THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH LAKE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.
UM, THE SELF SURGE FACILITY WILL PRODUCE MINIMAL TRAFFIC IMPACTS TO THE ROADWAY AND THE APPLICANT WILL PROVIDE ENHANCED LANDSCAPING ON THE SITE, INCLUDING A HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL HEAD ACCESS BASED ON THE CRITERIA LISTED ABOVE, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE SUP WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, UM, WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE EXPIRATION TIMEFRAME FOR A SUP.
THE LIMITED USES BASED ON THE ZONING DISTRICT AND BY THE SUP IS SELF STORAGE.
THE SITE LAYOUT AND LOCATION SHALL BE SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THAT, WHICH IS DISPLAYED IN THE PLANS.
THERE SHALL BE NO OUTDOOR STORAGE OR, UM, ANY PODS OR CONTAIN STORAGE CONTAINERS ON THE PROPERTY.
AND THE, BESIDES THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS AND SIGNAGE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE PROVIDING A HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL ACCESS, INCLUDING A GATE, FIVE PARKING SPACES, AND A SIDEWALK LEADING TO THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL.
I HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING THEN ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.
I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO, UH, TO SPEAK.
IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THESE, THESE, UH, STORAGE FACILITIES? IF NOT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 58.
I LIVE AT 2105 NOBLE WOOD COURT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE THIS WILL BE.
UH, WE WERE JUST HOPING TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY WAY TO RECOMMEND THAT THIS BUILDING BE SHORTER.
GET A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE MIC, IF YOU WILL.
SOME OF US CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
ANY WAY TO SEE IF THE BUILDING COULD, UH, BE RECOMMENDED TO BE SHORTER.
IT'S QUITE TALL AT THREE STORIES AND, UM, ALREADY THERE'S BEEN PEOPLE MOVING FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE OF THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE GOING IN PLACE THERE.
THEY CAN SEE THE LIGHTS FLASHING INTO THEIR LIVING ROOMS. UM, WE LOST A FRIEND, THEY WENT TO ANOTHER, ANOTHER, UH, WESTWOOD RANCH OR WHATEVER, UM, JUST TO GET AWAY FROM THIS.
SO ALREADY WE'RE SEEING A DECREASE OF VALUABLE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE LEAVING JUST BECAUSE OF THE PROPERTY AND WHAT IT'S BRINGING IN.
AND WE UNDERSTAND IT'S GONNA BE COMMERCIAL, BUT I WANTED TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY WAY THAT WE COULD AT LEAST MAKE IT MINI, UH, LIMITED TO TWO STORY INSTEAD OF A THREE STORY BUILDING.
WOULD, WOULD YOU MARK, COULD YOU GET HER NAME AND ADDRESS AND SO WE'LL HAVE IT FOR THE RECORDS.
WE'LL CLOSE THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 59
[01:00:05]
AND ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE, UH, COMMISSION? I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.UM, I KNOW WE HAVE A LIGHTING, PARDON ME, A LIGHTING ORDINANCE IN LAKE CITY, UH, WHERE MOST COMMERCIAL LIGHTING HAS TO BE DOWN.
WILL THIS BUILDING COMPLY WITH THAT? ABSOLUTELY, YES.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING THEY, UM, THAT WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND THEY, UM, HAVE, THEY HAVEN'T SUBMITTED ALL OF THE PLANS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT AT BUILDING SPACE YET OR STAGE YET.
BUT, UM, EVERYTHING WILL BE, THERE WILL BE NO LIGHT TRESPASS PAST THE PROPERTY LIGHT.
SO NO LIGHT SHINING IN ADJACENT NEIGHBOR'S LIVING ROOMS? ABSOLUTELY.
AND UM, THE OTHER THING, UM, DOES THIS BUILDING COMPLY WITH THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT REQUIREMENT IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD? IT DOES FOR THE ZONE.
I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL YOU OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING I REVIEWED IT FOR.
DID, DID YOU ASK ABOUT THE PARKING SPACES? OKAY.
THE HEIGHT, HUH? THE HEIGHT AND THE LIGHTS.
YEAH, THE QUESTION I HAD HAD TO DO, I THINK, I THINK THE, UH, THE PARKING ISSUE HAS BEEN S RESOLVED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE AS MANY AS IS CALLED FOR BY THE ORDINANCE.
BUT I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT OBJECTED TO, UH, BATS WE'RE HAPPY THAT IT WAS GONNA GIVE 'EM BETTER ACCESS AND A PLACE TO PARK WHEN THEY WENT TO THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL, RIGHT? YES.
THEY'RE PROVIDING FIVE SPACES THAT ARE GOING TO BE DESIGNATED FOR TRAILHEAD PARKING.
SO, UM, I, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY CALLS OKAY.
ABOUT THAT FROM THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS.
THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION THAT I JUST WANTED TO BE SURE THAT IT WAS HAVE CLARIFICATION, THERE ARE NO RENTAL TRUCKS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THERE'S NOT, IT'S NOT A U-HAUL FACILITY? NO, SIR.
THERE WON'T BE THINGS PARKED OUTSIDE THAT ARE GONNA BE NO PODS AND RENTAL.
THAT'S ONE OF THE CONDITIONS AND RENTAL RENTAL ANYTHING.
EVERYTHING WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THE BUILDING.
JUST AS AN FYI TO THE COMMISSION REGARDING YOUR HEIGHT QUESTION, THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT ALLOWED IN THE CG TO ZONING DISTRICT IS 125 FEET.
SO THIS IS, UM, SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER THAN WHAT, WHAT COULD BE THERE.
WILL THE, WILL THE LANDSCAPING AT ALL MITIGATE THE VIEW OF THE BUILDING? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE FOR THE LANDSCAPING? THERE ARE LANDSCAPE.
THEY'RE BUFFERING ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH ONE TREE PER EVERY EIGHT TREES PER A HUNDRED FEET.
UM, AND CONTINUOUS HEDGE AS WELL.
SO, AND THEY ARE TUCKED BEHIND, I BELIEVE.
SO ANOTHER ANOTHER POINT TO MAKE HERE IS THAT YOU SEE THE LANDSCAPING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THIS IMAGE, SO FOR ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT THAT LANDSCAPING WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED, THAT'S GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE ORDINANCE ACTUALLY REQUIRES.
SO THAT'S AN ENHANCEMENT THEY DID AS PART OF THIS SUP PROCESS WHERE IF SOMETHING ELSE WAS BUILT THERE THAT LANDSCAPING WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THERE.
AND SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT MATURE WHEN IT'S PLANTED, BUT OVER TIME IT WOULD GROW.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO GO OH, GO, GO AHEAD.
WELL, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION.
I JUST HAVE A COMMENT THAT, UM, THIS LOOKS LIKE A VERY NICE BUILDING AND IT ACTUALLY WILL ENHANCE THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE IT WILL GIVE THE RESIDENTS A CHANCE TO CLEAN OUT THEIR GARAGES AND PUT THEIR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS IN THIS UNIT AND PUT THEIR CARS IN THE GARAGE SO THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL HAVE A CHANCE NOT TO LOOK LIKE A PARKING LOT.
SO IT REALLY IS AN ENHANCEMENT AND UH, I I, I DON'T LIVE THERE, BUT I WISH WE HAD ONE JUST OUTSIDE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO MY QUESTION, UH, I WAS THINKING ALONG THE SAME LINES THAT PAUL WAS WITH RESPECT TO THE RENTAL VEHICLES, UH, U-HAUL TYPE AND UM, I SEE THAT IT STATES NO STORAGE CONTAINERS, PODS, OR SIMILAR CONTAINERS SHALL BE STORED ON THIS SITE, BUT IT DOESN'T DESIGNATE HERE ANYTHING ABOUT A, WHETHER IT'S U-HAUL OR HERTZ TRUCKS OR THERE, YOU KNOW, MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF RENTAL VEHICLES.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD TYPICALLY PUT IN HERE OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PERMITTED BY THE, THE
[01:05:01]
FACILITY LATER? RIGHT.WE HAVE PUT IT IN, UM, LIKE THE LAST STORAGE THAT WE DID, THE U-HAUL BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY HISTORICALLY BEEN, UM, RENTING OUT AND THEY HAVE WAY MORE PARKING AND ALL OF THAT.
BUT BY THE DESIGN OF THIS, THEY ARE LIMITING THEIR PARKING TO JUST THE PATRONS OF THE SELF-STORAGE AND THERE IS NO PLACE TO PARK ANY OF THE, SO THEY WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO DO THAT.
THAT WOULDN'T BE PART OF THEIR USE.
WHETHER IT NEEDED TO BE SPECIFIED IN THIS OR NOT.
SO IF THEY DECIDED THEY NEEDED OR THEY WANTED TO HAVE TRUCK TRUCKS OR TRAILERS OR WHATEVER RENTAL UNITS, THEY'D HAVE TO COME BACK AND GET, UH, SPECIAL PERMISSION FOR THAT? THEY WOULDN'T NEED AN SUP BUT THEY WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED.
THEY HAVE NO PARKING FOR THAT.
IT WOULD HAVE TO EXPAND THEIR SITE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
UM, I MOVE THAT, UH, WE RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY APPROVE THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT PERMIT APPLICATION SUP DASH 25 DASH 0 0 2 FOR THE STEAL SELF STORAGE FACILITY, UM, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY MOTIONS MADE.
IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND THAT A MOTION.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? IF NONE WILL CALL THE QUESTION.
[5. Staff Comments ]
AND THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS STAFF COMMENTS? YES SIR.JUST, UM, UPDATE ON THESE ITEMS. AS I MENTIONED, UM, WITH THE PREVIOUS ITEM, THIS WILL BE GOING AUGUST 12TH TO CITY COUNCIL.
ALL THREE OF THE ITEMS YOU HEARD TONIGHT, UM, WITH THE SECOND READING ON AUGUST 22ND, THE LLOYD PUT THAT YOU HEARD LAST TIME.
UM, WE'LL BE GOING TO CITY COUNCIL TOMORROW.
THE UM, REZONING SIGN THAT'S OVER ON SOUTH SHORE BOULEVARD.
THAT WAS THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION AT MY HOA MEETING LAST WEEK.
IS THAT, WHAT ARE THEY GOING, WHAT? DO THEY WANNA PUT SOME HOUSES IN THERE? IS THAT WHAT THEY, SO THAT WILL BE COMING TO THE NEXT PNZ MEETING, RIGHT? I SAW, AND YES, THEY'RE PROPOSING, UM, SOME, SEVERAL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ALONG SOUTH SHORE BOULEVARD.
THAT'S NOT AN ACTION ITEM, IT'S JUST MY CURIOSITY.
SO, UH, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF, UH, STAFF? IF NOT, THAT BEING SAID, ALL THAT BEING SAID, THEN WE, AT 7 0 7, WE WILL STAND ADJOURNED.
