IF THE COMPANION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING ARE APPROVED, LIKE YOU GO WELL, YOU'VE RECEIVED A LETTER SIGNED BY FIVE RESIDENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THESE REALITIES.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE APPLICANTS TO SPEAK, BUT PERIOD, NOT TO EXCEED 15 MINUTES.

THANK YOU, JEREMY MORRISON.

MY NAME IS MARIE GROUP AND YOU'RE HEARING OF 11 3 28 PINEWOOD AVENUE IN BATON ROUGE, SEVEN OR EIGHT OR NINE.

APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

UM, I GUESS THE FIRST TO GO WITHOUT SAYING IT WAS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND IT HAD THE PLAN REQUIRED FOR COMMERCIAL SILVER, JUST WHERE I HATE TO SAY DOWNGRADE, BUT WE'RE ASKING FOR MORE RESTRICTIVE ZONING TO AID, TO IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF UDC.

SO IT GOES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PLAN.

THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS A 77 SINGLE FAMILY, LOTS CONSISTENT WITH THE 82 ZONING OR 23.2 ACRES, UH, WHICH IS A LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ABOUT 3.3 UNITS PER ACRE.

THE PROPERTY IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN A SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA.

AND, UM, I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT THIS PROJECT WAS ACTUALLY APPROVED AS A PRELIMINARY PLAT, PROBABLY BACK IN 2006 TIMEFRAME.

AND WE ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

[00:15:01]

AND STUFF LIKE THAT, WHERE IT WAS NEVER INSTRUCTING DEVELOPERS ARE HERE WITH ME TONIGHT AND, UH, THEY, THEY NOW ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.

SO VINCE ALONG, WE HAD TO RESUBMIT THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND WHAT WAS SUBMITTED LAST TIME IS THERE ARE DETENTION PONDS, AND THAT'S WHEN THE RECORDINGS WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE PRACTICE OF WHAT WE DO THESE DAYS.

SO THAT BEING SAID, UM, I'LL OPEN UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND AGAIN, THE QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

APPRECIATE IT.

MY NEXT CAR, JUST THE DINO BRO.

HOW YOU DOING? UM, YOU KNOW, BROWN, UH, WITH NEW HEIGHTS DEVELOPMENT AND BASICALLY, UH, UH, ONE OF OUR PLAN WAS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO, UH, UH, IMPROVE, UH, THE AREA AND WE THOUGHT THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD, UH, WOULD DO THAT.

UH, DAN AND I, WE STARTED OUT JUST GODS SPLITTING THE PROPERTIES AND WE DECIDED WE WANTED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

SO, UH, WE SAW THIS PROPERTY AND IT LOOKED LIKE A BEAUTIFUL SPOT FOR US TO, UH, TO STEP IN AND ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND BRING SOME NEW VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY.

THE NEXT CARD IS FOR MR. SMITH, MR. SMITH HERE.

NEXT CHORD IS FOR DANIEL TILLMAN.

WE HAVE SEVERAL COURTS IN OPPOSITION FIRST, THIS BOARD, JAMES SCOTT, SENIOR 30 MINUTES.

I KNOW THAT I, IT I'VE BEEN LIVING HERE, BUT US UP TO SEVEN YEARS.

LIKE I KNOW YOU IN YOUR PLANS WITH THEM OPEN UP MY OWN IT, MY ONLY THING IS IT WASN'T UP TO SQUEAK.

APPLE AND GRANDMA DOING WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO ON THE OTHER SIDE, UH, UH, SOUTHWEST.

I CAN PAUL AND DEVELOP THAT ELEVATOR.

BUT WHAT I UNDERSTAND AND I TOLD HIM, UH, IT'S THE BROWN ABOUT IT? HE WASN'T OPEN TO NOTES, COME BACK NEXT DAY.

SOMEONE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, BANCO, UH, THE GERALD INFLUENCED HIM THERE, THE CITY GARDEN.

IT REQUIRED HIM TO OPEN THAT PARTICULAR ENOUGH.

THOSE SPEAKS UP.

NOW I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT TO SOTHEBY'S WENT BACK, RIGHT? THEY DON'T HAVE THEM.

ONCE WE, THEN ONCE WE GOT THE GUY WITH THE FIRST OF THE VISION COURSE, THE ONE FOR JEWEL ROAD, THEY HAD THE, THEY HAD THAT OPEN UP THE GOING FROM LINCOLN ROAD, THE GREENWAY WASN'T LONG, THEY CLOSED THE GATE FOR THE BEGINNING OF THEIR DAY.

IT GAVE IT BECAUSE THE RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA DIDN'T HAPPEN AS THEY'RE COMING THROUGH THERE AND THEY LOCKED RIDE.

NO ONE WANTS TO SPEAK OPEN UP.

AND THEN SOMEBODY SAY ABOUT IT.

I'VE BEEN THERE 37 YEARS.

EVERY TIME NOBODY IS, IT'S GOTTEN WORSE.

UM, SO MY THING IS, I'M ASKING THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, NOT TO OWN THOSE TWO STREETS THOUGH.

OTHER THAN THAT, I'M GOING TO GET TO READ THEM.

THANK YOU, MR. SCOTT.

WE HAVE TWO MORE SPEAKER CARDS WHO ARE IN OPPOSITION, BUT DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK FOR ERICA ROSA AND FLORIDA BROWN.

AND THERE'S THERE'S ONE MORE.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I SAID MR. SMITH, MR. SMITH.

AND I LIVE ON THE DEAD END OF OAK APPLE.

MA'AM.

YOU MAY COME FORWARD AND SPEAK AT THIS TIME.

YOU HAD THE FLOOR.

MY NAME IS LINDA SMITH AND, UM, I LIVE IN KNICKERS PLACES.

WELL,

[00:20:01]

SO ARE THEY GOING TO OPEN THAT DEAD END STREET UP TO GO INTO THE NEW STUFF? EVASION I'VE BEEN LIVING THERE FOR 30 YEARS AND THAT STREET HAS BEEN A DEAD END FOR THE LONGEST.

AND THEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE OLD GOOD OAKS DRIVE.

IS IT GOING TO BE OPEN TO THE GLEN OAKS SUBDIVISION? UH, THIS IS, UH, YOUR, YOUR, YOUR TIME TO COMMENT, MAN.

IT'S NOT A QUESTION, QUESTION AND ANSWER.

IT'S NOT A BACK AND FORTH.

YOU CAN POSE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU, THAT YOU LIKED AND HOPES THAT WE CAN ANSWER THAT ONE.

WELL, KENNY, MAYBE SOME OF THEM DOING THE STUFF.

THAT'S OKAY.

WELL, THERE ARE NO MORE SPEAKERS.

I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR A FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL AND HOPEFULLY HE CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THE THINGS.

JUST TALKING TO MS. SMITH AND, UM, SCOTT, UH, OPPOSITION.

MY QUITE FRANKLY, MY CLIENTS WOULD LIKELY NOT OPEN THOSE UP WHEN WE, BUT WE KNOW THAT IS A MATTER OF LAW REQUIRING CONNECTIVITY AND AS SUCH THAT'S, THE PLANE WAS PRESENTED AS SUCH AS UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE TO DO JUST THAT.

SO I, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ANYBODY OR THE CREATION MAY HAVE, BUT THAT'S THINK, THANK YOU, SIR.

THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE OPENING TO THE PERMISSION, AS I LIKE TO ASK YOU TO SPEAK TO THE, UH, ORDINANCE REGARDING CONNECTEDLY SURE IT'S GOT SEVERAL QUESTIONS INDEX THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE REQUIREMENT THAT IS I'M SORRY, PLANNING COMMISSION OFFICE DID GET SEVERAL QUESTIONS ON, ON THE REQUIRED CONNECTIVITY STREET CONNECTIVITY TO THE ADJACENT SUBDIVISIONS AS POINTED OUT ON PAGE TWO OF THE STAFF REPORT, VEHICULAR CONNECTIONS ALL REQUIRED, UH, TO EXISTING PUBLIC STREETS.

SO THE EXISTING PUBLIC STREETS THAT, THAT HAVE BOUGHT THIS DEVELOPMENT, THE NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE APP CAN, IS REQUIRED BY CODE TO MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS.

UH, SO THERE'S THERE'S ARE DONE, UM, TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THAT SECTION CHAPTER 13, SECTION 13.3, IT IS PART OF THE CITY PARISHES COMPLETE STREET, UH, CONNECTIVITY REQUIREMENT.

THANK YOU DIRECTOR AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN FOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM THE CONDITION, UM, WITH THE, UM, SO, UM, I'D SEEK COUNSEL WHILE IN GREEN, OFF OF THAT YOU ALL MET WITH HER.

YES MA'AM.

OKAY THEN, UM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT WAS THERE.

MORE CRIME AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

I DID TALK TO THE CUSTOMER, UH, AND I THOUGHT HE WAS CONCERNING AND WHAT THEY TOLD ME WAS, UH, THEY HAD THE OLD, OLD SPEAKS UP, BUT DANG, I'M GETTING THAT.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO OPEN UP THIS PARTICULAR SUB BEING? WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO OPEN UP THIS, NOT LIVE WELL, GO OUT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS FOR CLARIFICATION.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I ASKED THAT QUESTION.

I CERTAINLY GOT A RIGHT TO, UM, TO, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, IN THAT IT LINES UP WITH THE CODE, YOU KNOW, I MORE, HAD YOU NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH YOUR FAMILY, IF YOU NEED TO BE DEFERRED AND THE COMMUNITY TO MEET IN OR IN THERE WITH HER.

AND THE OTHER ONE, THE PARENTS DID NOT REACH OUT TO HER.

[00:25:06]

I PASTORED A STOP SIGN IN MY HOUSE, MY HOUSE, STOP SIGN, STOP THE CAR, UM, THAT PART AND, UM, AND SHE DID.

I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT, WHEN I TALKED WITH HER AND AGAINST HER.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION COMMISSIONER HILL.

COULD I SPEAK WITH SIR? UM, COULD YOU EXPLAIN SPECIFICALLY, UM, WHICH STREETS YOU'RE GOING TO OPEN UP IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AND, UM, YOU HAVE OAK APPLE AVENUES THAT IS ON EITHER SIDE AND YOU HAVE GLENOAKS DRIVE THAT'S ON EITHER SIDE.

ARE YOU PLANNING TO OPEN UP ALL OF THOSE, THE CONNECTIVITY.

AND ARE YOU GOING TO PROVIDE ANY ACCESS? UH, YES, SIR.

I'M SORRY.

THERE'S A MAIN VIBE THAT ACCESSES THE MOUNTAIN.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION VICE GROUT THAT I AM.

I LOOKED AT THIS PLAN.

I'VE TALKED WITH THE ENGINEER.

I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT USE OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO WITH INTERCONNECTIVITY.

THE PART OF THE REASON THAT AIR CONNECTIVITY IS SO IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE OVER THE DECADES WE GET MADE SINGLE, SINGLE IN ONE WAY IN ONE WAY OUT STREETS.

SO THAT IN ORDER TO GET ANYWHERE, YOU HAVE TO GET ON A SECONDARY OR MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.

AND THEY'RE ALWAYS CLOGGED BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET FROM BEER TO THERE.

YOU'D HAVE TO GET ONTO A MAJOR STREET.

INTERCONNECTIVITY IS VERY IMPORTANT AND ALLOWS PEOPLE TO FLOW THROUGH AND GIVE DIFFERENT OPTIONS AS TO HOW THEY GO.

IF , IF WE CAN JUST PULL THE TRAFFIC, YOU CAN GET FROM INGRAM TO, TO, UH, TO MAR UH, TERSHIA PAL OR CLOUDS, UM, VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF THE IDEA OF INTERCONNECTIVITY.

IT'S A WAY FOR A LONG-TERM WAY FOR US TO HELP GET RID OF OUR CONTINUAL TRAFFIC PROBLEM.

YOU LOOK AT CITIES THAT HAVE GRIDDED STREET SYSTEMS. WHAT YOU WILL SEE IS THEY DON'T HAVE THE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS ON SECONDARY STREETS.

IF WE LIVE HERE IN BATON ROUGE AND I PUT THEM UP AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHAT WE DO HERE IS A MISTAKE WHAT'S BEING DONE BY THIS ENGINEER.

AND BY THIS DEVELOPER, I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT DEVELOPMENT.

THEY ARE BRINGING YOU DOWN FROM COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL IN AN AREA THAT HAS RESIDENTIAL.

SO I IS VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF THIS AND I MOVE FOR APPROVAL FLOW ROUTE TO APPROVE THIS ITEM IS THEN SECOND TO THAT MOTION.

THERE'S A QUESTION COMMISSIONER, THANK YOU TO CHAIRMAN.

UM, MY QUESTION WOULD BE IF THE DEVELOPER, UM, HOWEVER, YOU CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA TO COME TO THE AID TUBE, AND I KNOW THAT THE SURROUNDING AREAS ARE 82.

SO IT DOES FIT WITH IN THE SCHEME OF THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT, IF THEY DECIDED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, LIKE A PUD, WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO KEEP IT WITHIN THEIR OWN, UM, SUBDIVISION OR IF THEY DO, I'M JUST AFRICAN THOUGH.

NO.

ARE YOU SPEAKING TOWARDS THE CONNECTIVITY REQUIREMENT OR? YEAH, SO THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH CONNECTIVITY WITH WIREMAN BECAUSE THIS IS A, A REZONING PLAN.

AND THEN IT'S THE SAME THING AS THE REST OF THE SURROUNDING HOMES.

BUT IF THEY DID A DIFFERENT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT WAS LIKE A, LIKE A PUG WOULDN'T IT COULD IT ACTUALLY BE.

SO THE CONNECTIVITY REQUIREMENT IS, UH, IS REQUIRED FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE ZONING, IT'S ULTIMATELY A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE.

IT ALLOWS EMERGENCY VEHICLES OF ALL, ALL TYPES TO, UH, TO DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET TO PROPERTY IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

[00:30:01]

ON TO ITEM NUMBER NINE K 79, 21 51 70 GOVERNMENT STREET.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HAWTHORNE TO APPROVE THESE THREE ITEMS, ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS SAYING NONE OF THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN APPROVED AT THIS TIME? WE'LL MOVE

[9. Case 79-21 5170 Government Street]

UH, AS WE TRY TO LOAD UP THE VIDEO, IT'S STILL NOT WORKING.

SO I'LL GIVE YOU A, IN CASE A 79, 21 51 70 GOVERNMENT STREET TO REZONE FOR LIGHT COMMERCIAL C1 TO COMMERCIAL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE BAR AND LOUNGE CAV TWO ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF GOVERNANCE STREET AT ST.

TAMMY STREET ON A PORTION OF LOT 30 AND 31 OF CAPITOL HEIGHTS SQUARE, 15 COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN COLD, AND THE COMMISSION STAFF SERVE US AT THE PROPOSED REQUEST, MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR CHANGES, ZONING, BEING CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING USES AND CONFORMING TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS RECEIVED FIVE MESSAGES IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PRESENTING REQUESTS.

BECAUSE EVEN IF I DON'T GET THIS REZONING OF THE OUTDOOR SEATING, I STILL HAVE MY CAR.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK, BUT NOT EXCEED 15 MINUTES.

UH, THIS IS MY DAUGHTER, MICHELLE.

UM, THERE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BLEEDS DOWN AND IT'S IN FRONT OF, UM, MY DAD WAS SHOT.

IT USED TO BE A PARKING AREA.

UH, THIS CITY, UH, TOOK IN PORTIONS OF THAT PARKING AREA TO UPGRADE, UH, GOVERNMENT STREET, WHICH MADE IT NOT USEFUL FOR PARKING.

THERE WERE PEOPLE TRYING TO USE IT AS A RIGHT-HAND TURNING WHILE, YOU KNOW, DISLIKED HIM IN EACH GROUP AND TELL THEM, AND WE REALIZED WE NEEDED OUTDOOR SEATING FOR SAFETY REASONS.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE DECIDED TO.

IT'S ALSO IN, UM, IN, UH, ALONG THE LINES OF THE MID CITY REDEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE, WHICH IS UPGRADING THAT AREA, REVITALIZING THE AREA.

AND MY BUSINESS IS PART OF THAT, WHERE WE EMPLOYED PEOPLE, WE ARE PART OF THE, UH, REVITALIZED REVITALIZATION OF THAT AREA.

AND, UM, THEY'RE LIKE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE OUTDOOR SEATING AND BE INCOME, UH, BE COMPETITIVE WITH THE OTHER BUSINESSES UP AND DOWN THAT STREET THAT ALREADY HAD, AND ALSO TO WELCOME ALL PEDESTRIANS TO COME IN AND, UM, AND HAVE AN INVITING ENVIRONMENT FROM THE GOVERNMENT STREET, UH, DEVELOPMENT, UM, WHICH IS PART OF, UH, THE GOAL.

UM, WE'RE PET FRIENDLY.

WE'RE VERY INVITING.

UM, WE WANT TO BE COMPLIANT WITH COVID AS WELL AND ANY, UH, FUTURE, UM, RESTRICTIONS BASED ON THAT AS WELL AS, UM, WE WANT TO ADDRESS OUR SECURITY ISSUES.

UM, WE HAVE, UH, SECURITY GUARDS THERE.

WE ALSO HAVE SOMEONE HELPING US MAINTAIN THE PARKING LOT.

UH, WE HAVE A RESTAURANT NEXT DOOR.

THEY ALSO HELP MAINTAIN THE PARKING LOT, UH, TO MAINTAIN, UH, CLEANLINESS.

AND, UH, AS I SAID, WE HAVE SECURITY FOR, FOR THAT REASON AS WELL.

UM, AS FAR AS NOISE GOES, UH, OUR SECURITY ALSO ADDRESS THIS, THAT IT'S SHOULD SOMEBODY COME UP AND MAKING TOO MUCH NOISE OR WHATEVER THEY ARE.

UM, THEY, WE HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE FOR THEM TO, UM, TO MAINTAIN THE NOISE, UH, DOWN TO A QUIET LEVEL.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT, UM, UM, I'VE GOTTEN NO PHONE CALLS TO EXPRESS THEIR CONCERN ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE AREA.

I'VE NOT HAD ANY POLICE BROUGHT OUT THERE FOR ANY REASON.

UM, SO I'M NOT QUITE SURE EXACTLY.

UH, I WOULD, UH, I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE CALLED ME AND TALKED TO ME ABOUT IT AND RESOLVED IT

[00:35:01]

I STILL HAVE MY DOCTOR'S SHOP AND YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY.

WE DON'T WANT THEM TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH OUR BUSINESS.

AND I THINK WORKING TOGETHER AND LETTING ME KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND SO THAT I CAN CONFRONT IT AND MAKE SURE IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

THAT'S IT.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER CARD IS EVIDENCE.

MY NAME IS, BUT YOU HAVEN'T TALKED TO TECH, UM, ALL MY CLIENTS AND I HERE, I WOULDN'T BE DOING THE AND THAT'S THE KNIFE ESTABLISHED.

WE GOT ALL THE DUCKS THERE AND I'VE BEEN OUT THERE.

THEY'RE ALL .

SO I THINK THAT THE BULLETS, THANK YOU.

YEAH, SEVERAL COURTS OR THOSE IN OPPOSITION.

THE FIRST QUARTER IS BRIAN ST.

GEORGE ST.

GEORGE.

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

THANK YOU, TREVOR AND WASHINGTON, ACCORDING TO CORRESPONDENCE WITH MR. MORAN, BUILT AN UNPERMITTED STRUCTURE IN FRONT OF THEM CAN IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING IS CURRENTLY NOT SELLING FOR CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL.

THIS REZONING REQUEST HAPPENED BECAUSE THE BUILDING GOT A PRE-BUY ONE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ON-PREMISE AND STRUCTURE, AND THEY WERE INFORMED THAT PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE DRINKING THERE, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO LET PATRONS DRINK OUTSIDE.

MY MAIN CONCERN IS ABOUT THE INCREASED NOISE FOR LETTING PEOPLE DRINK OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY LATE INTO THE EVENING.

AS THE BAR IS OPEN TILL TWO IN THE MORNING, THURSDAY, SATURDAY IS PETTY.

IT WAS BUILT LAST WINTER.

WE USED TO HOST KARAOKE NIGHT AND OPEN MIC NIGHTS.

THEY HAD BOUNCED SPEAKERS OUTSIDE POINTED INTO THE CAPITOL HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THE BASE BEING A PARTICULAR PROBLEM IN MY BEDROOM THAT I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP.

I LIVE ON ST.

LANDRY STREET, WHICH IS THREE BLOCKS AWAY.

WHEN I CALLED TO ASK THEM TO TURN IT DOWN.

THE PERSON WHO IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS AN OWNER, WE'VE MADE THE TENDERLOIN, UM, WAS UNPLEASANT AND DISMISSIVE INSISTED.

HE COULD DO WHAT HE WANTED, AND HE DIDN'T NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE NEIGHBORS EACH NIGHT WHEN THIS WAS AN ISSUE OR THEY CALLED THE BAR.

UM, SOMETIMES THEY WOULD TURN DOWN MUSIC FOR A FEW, 10, 15 MINUTES.

UM, IF THE PERSISTENCE HAS 10:00 PM, I WOULD CALL IT A BRP D NOW EMERGENCY NUMBER FOR A NOISE COMPLAINT WITH THE CURRENT POLICE STAFFING ISSUES, THEY DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER TO ADDRESS NOISE COMPLAINTS.

THE CURRENT STRUCTURE ALSO DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE GOVERNMENT STREET DESIGN OVERLAY CRITERIA, SINCE IT WAS NEVER PERMITTED FOR CRITERIA FOR A COURTYARD AREA WINDOW TODAY IN PEDESTRIAN WAYS WERE NOT FOLLOWED.

THERE WAS NO BOUNDARY OR BARRIER BETWEEN THIS PATIO IS THE REST OF THE STREET.

SO THERE WAS NO WAY FOR THE BAR TO KEEP PATRONS IN THAT AREA.

AS PART OF THREE DOMINATING, ALLOWING THIS PRESENTING BUILDING TO DRINKING AND A MUCH LARGER AREA AND THE CURRENT REQUEST, OTHER BUSINESSES, OR SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS, IT HAS DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS.

ANY OTHER BAR ON GOVERNMENT STREET THAT SERVES ALCOHOL, NO OTHER BAR ON GOVERNMENT STREETS OR ALCOHOL AND VERY, THEY DON'T CONTROL, BUT I DON'T HAVE ENCLOSED COURTYARDS WHERE THEY CAN OBSERVE AND MONITOR WHAT IS GOING ON, CONTROL THEIR NOISE, AND RESPOND TO ANY SITUATIONS.

WE WANT GOVERNMENT STREETS TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE BUSINESSES SHOULD FOLLOW THE APPROPRIATE PERMITTING AND DESIGN PROCESSES, NOT DO WHAT THEY WANT AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS LATER.

THE BUSINESS WAS INFORMED THAT THE CURRENT ZONING DOES NOT ALLOW FOR ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION ON THE PATIO, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE CURRENT ZONING AND SERVE ALCOHOL.

ANYWAY, ADDITIONALLY, THAT PAST BEHAVIOR INDICATES THAT THE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORS AROUND HIM.

FOR THOSE REASONS, THIS REZONING REQUEST SHOULD BE DENIED.

THE INTEGRITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO HAVE THIS COMMON PROBLEM IN ITS CLIENTELE.

NEXT CARD IS FOR PETER.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

I'M A RESIDENT OF THE CAPITOL HEIGHTS AREA, AND I BELIEVE THAT THE REZONING OF THIS PROPERTY IS A BAD IDEA.

UM, LIKE THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER SAID, I COULD DO THAT WITH EVERYTHING HE SAYS, WE HAVE A LATE NIGHT BOTH BY SHOWING UP REVENUE ENGINES, UH, DRINKING OUT IN THE PARKING LOTS.

UH, NO REGARD FOR THE TRASH THAT'S LEFT AT THE BANK ACROSS THE STREET AWAY.

EVERYBODY'S PARKING.

AND, UH, I JUST THINK IT'S, IT'S, IT'S AN INSULT TO

[00:40:01]

BUT I SEE WHAT YOU NEED, THE POLICEMAN OR A SECURITY GUARD WITH BULLETPROOF DESK WALKING AROUND THE BUILDING.

I THINK THAT SETS THE TONE.

I'M VERY MUCH OPPOSED TO IT.

WE LIVE IN A PEACEFUL COMMUNITY.

I DON'T WANT, I WELCOME LUCAS AND SAYS, THIS IS NOT A BUSINESS THAT BELONGS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I DO WANT TO SHOW UP.

IF YOU'RE WILLING TO LOOK, YOU WOULD SAY YOU WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE WHATEVER YOU'RE SHOWING OR RECORD.

IT WAS GOING TO BE PUBLIC RECORD.

YOU CAN'T SHOW IT ON YOUR PHONE OR YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR PHONE.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE IT TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THIS HERE.

UNDERSTOOD.

BUT ANYWAY, UH, THE CLIENTELE IS PATHETIC.

IT'S LOUD MUSIC, AND I DON'T WANT IT NEIGHBORHOOD.

THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OH, AND BY THE WAY, IF THERE IS ANY POLICE PATROL THAT WE PAY THE FUCK OUT ABOUT TAXES, I DON'T SEE IT LIKE, AND IF WE CAN HAVE THE RIGHT PATROL PEOPLE, WOULDN'T HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER QUOTE IS FOR ELA FLOYD, 30 MINUTES.

UM, MY NAME IS ALAN FLOYD.

I LIVE AT 6 71, A CASE HISTORY.

I'M ONE STREET OVER FROM ST.

TAMMANY, WHICH THE BAR BACKS UP TO.

UM, I'M RESPECTFULLY ASKING THAT THE BOARD OF POSES, THE REASONING FROM, UM, REASONS THAT THESE TWO PEOPLE ALREADY SAID, UM, IN ADDITION, MY STREET ALONE HAS 17 CHILDREN ON IT.

UH, WESTDALE MIDDLE IS ALSO RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, SAID THERE'S LOTS OF CHILDREN IN THIS AREA.

AND I DON'T BELIEVE A BAR IS A GOOD IDEA FOR A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

LIKE WE HAVE, UM, WHAT MR. PETE WAS REFERRING TO ON THE BACK OF THE BAR.

THERE'S A MURAL OF A LADY VOMITING, WHICH IS UNSIGHTLY FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND ALSO IT JUST KIND OF SETS A TONE AS TO WHAT THIS BAR IS FOR, FOR PEOPLE TO JUST GO AND GET DRUNK.

UM, I DID VISIT THE SHOP WHEN IT FIRST OPENED AND IT WAS QUIET.

THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE THEY INTRODUCED DRINKING ON THE OUTSIDE AND THEY WANT TO EXPAND.

BUT, UH, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THERE'S, THERE IS NOISE.

AND I JUST FELT LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THAT IT STARTED OFF SMALL AND IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE AND WORSE.

AND, UM, AS MR. KOCH SAID, LIKE, YOU KNOW, OR MAYBE IT WAS YOU THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THE POLICE RIGHT NOW, JUST, THEY JUST DON'T, THEY'RE NOT GONNA KNOW YOU ADDRESS NOISE ISSUES.

THEY'VE GOT BIGGER PROBLEMS AND THEY MIGHT COME LATER.

BUT, UM, IT'S JUST A CONCERN THAT SOMETHING IS JUST GOING TO GET WORSE.

SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT THIS NOT BE APPROVED.

THAT AREA FOR THIS V INITIALLY WANTED AN OUTDOOR SEATING AREA.

THANK YOU, HEATHER.

BUT SHE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME.

I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR FIVE DAYS WITHOUT I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THE GENTLEMAN WAS SAYING ABOUT OUR CLIENTELE.

UM, WE HAVE GOOD PEOPLE THAT COME THERE.

UM, THERE'S LOUD NOISE UP AND DOWN GOVERNMENT STREET ALL DAY LONG AND ALL NIGHT LONG, OUR PLACE.

ISN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS MOTORCYCLES THE CHILLER AND MAY HAVE THEIR RADIOS ON LIKE PHONES.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE ASK OUR SECURITY AS WELL TO PLEASE KEEP THE NOISE LEVEL.

THEN THE OTHER PART IS WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT CLEAN THE AREA ON THE, OUR BUSY NIGHTS, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY NIGHTS, TWO 30 IN THE MORNING.

THEY'RE OUT THERE CLEANING THE AIR AGAIN.

SO THERE, THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY TRASH.

IT NEEDS PEOPLE AT ALL.

AND ALSO WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE THE ISSUE OF HAVING TO CLEAN THAT AREA.

WE HAVE A BAD PROBLEM WITH HOMELESS PEOPLE AND THEY'RE OUT THERE TOO LITERALLY.

AND THAT SORT OF THING, I'M SORRY, THEY FEEL THIS WAY ABOUT MY BUSINESS, BUT IT'S, I DON'T THINK IF THEY WOULD COME TO ME AND SAY, LET'S, LET'S WORK ON THIS AND LET'S TAKE CARE OF THIS.

THERE'S BLACK AND WHITE.

YOU DO THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS.

AND YES, THE PERGOLA WAS BUILT BECAUSE OF THE COVID SITUATION.

WE THOUGHT OUR PLANS INCLUDED, UH,

[00:45:01]

AND WHEN WE FOUND OUT IT WASN'T PART OF IT THERE'S I TRIED TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

I STARTED THE PERMIT AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY.

AND WE WOULD LOVE TO EVENTUALLY GET THE RIGHT PERMITS TO ENCLOSE THE PARKING LOT SO THAT IT IS NOT OPEN TO THE SIDEWALK.

WE WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

WE JUST TRYING TO GET THE PERGOLA LEGAL.

AND THEN OUR FUTURE PLANS ARE DEFINITELY TO ENCLOSE THE PERGOLA.

UM, AND AS FAR AS THE BANK GOES, WE, OUR CUSTOMERS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT USE THAT BANK TO PARK.

UM, SEVERAL BUSINESSES AROUND THE AREA KNOWS THAT WHILE, HOWEVER BEING SAID THAT WE STILL TRY TO MAINTAIN THE AREA, THE PUBLIC HEARING THE COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION.

I AM ABOUT THE OPERATION OF THE BAR, THE OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY, OR THE, AND PROPERTY IS THAT ONE C1 DOES NOT ALLOW CREDIT CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL.

BUT IF YOU WANT TO FIND THERE ANYTIME LATE AT NIGHT, YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE DRINKING OUTSIDE COMICAL REQUIREMENTS.

BUT THE OPERATION OF ON THAT SIDE.

THERE'S NO QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION FIRSTHAND.

SO IT'S NOT THE ACTUAL WATER YOU CAN STILL OPERATE.

I UNDERSTAND THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE STILL INFECTING.

UM, AND I KNOW THAT , UM, THEY'RE ACTUALLY NOT THAT MANY CAV TWOS.

IT'S A MID CITY BEER GARDEN.

UM, THE RADIO BAR AX THROWING FRONT YARD BIKES, AND THEN CYPRUS, CYPRUS POST EVERYTHING ELSE WITH THE CEDAR B ONE ACROSS THE STREET.

THOSE ARE ALL RESTAURANTS .

I CAN'T TELL HIM THAT PART OF THE APPLICATION.

THE ONLY PROPERTY IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA THAT SHOWS UP ON THE CITY MAP.

HE JUST IS THE PROPERTY ITSELF, THAT THE CURRENT DAIQUIRI BAR, THE STRUCTURE ITSELF IS THEN CAV TOO.

AND SHE KNEW THE APPLICANTS APPLYING FOR THE OUTDOOR PATIO, ABORTION, SEVERAL CD ONE OPERATE ON AN IDEA BY ONE OF THE PERSON TO SPEAK OUT .

SO I UNDERSTAND CLEARLY THAT THE CURRENT FEE TO THEIR OPERATION, HER OUTFITS,

[00:50:02]

MY BRO, THE OWNER CAN COME BACK UP FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE.

THE, UH, OUTDOOR CURB THAT IS STILL BEING USED CURRENTLY.

THAT'S FINE.

UM, AND AFTER, AFTER IF THIS GETS PASSED, YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO USE THAT.

CORRECT.

BEFORE YOU EVER SEE, UH, ARE THERE ANY MORE IMMEDIATE, UH, QUESTIONS OR THE APPLICANT AND THE CONDITION? OKAY.

TWO HOURS, IT'S GOING TO BE TAKEN TOGETHER AND THE TIME IS 12 AND 13.

I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO HAVE TO ME ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, SPIRIT EMOTIONS.

THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM COMMISSIONER ADAMS TO DECIDE THAT MOTION HAS BEEN SECONDED BY POSITION OF BAGS.

ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO IMPROVEMENTS BESIDES GETTING APPROVED, MR. CHAIRMAN, THE NEXT

[Items 12 & 13]

LIKE YOUR DIRECTOR HOPE OF AT THIS TIME HERE I WAS NUMBER 12 AND 13 4 0 8 1 THAT'S HOSPITAL CONCEPT PLAN REVISION SIX AND MATERA PHASE TWO, WHEN THIS HOSPITAL FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN BUT FOUR DASH ZERO EIGHT WOMAN'S HOSPITAL CONCEPT PLAN REVISION, SIX PROPOSED REALLOCATION OF LOW, MEDIUM, AND HIGH DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL UNITS ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF AIRLINE HIGHWAY EAST, THE PICU LANE, UH, COUNCIL DISTRICT NINE, HUDSON 13, FOUR DASH ZERO NINE, LATERA PHASE TWO WOMAN'S HOSPITAL, LOW DENSITY, SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF AIRLINE HIGHWAY, EAST OF STENBERG LANE.

ALSO COUNCIL DISTRICT NINE, AND THE COMMISSION STAFF CERTIFIES THAT THE PROPOSED REQUEST MEETS A MINIMUM CRITERIA FOR A PLANNING UNIT DEVELOPMENT, BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING USES INFORMING TO THE FIVE DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS AND THE MISSING COMMISSIONED STAFF.

ALSO CERTIFIES THAT THE PROFESSOR'S REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PROPRIETOR'S CONCEPT PLAN APPROVED AND MEETS A MINIMUM CRITERIA OF THE PLAN, UNIT DEVELOPMENT, BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING USES AND CONFORMING TO UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS.

AT THIS TIME I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK FOR A PERIOD TO EXCEED 15 MINUTES AT EVENING.

UH, MY NAME IS ANDRE RODRIGUEZ.

I'M WITH STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES ON BEHALF OF WOMEN'S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION AND THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE PET OWNER ADDRESS IS 1200 BRICKYARD LANE, SUITE 400 BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA 7 0 8 0 2.

UH, AS YOU WERE NOTIFIED, THIS APPLICATION HERE IS TO REVISE A CURRENT POD CONCEPT PLAN, WHICH HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 2009.

UH, THIS IS REVISION NUMBER SIX.

UH, ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE ANOTHER REVISION THAT WE HAD HEARD FROM LAST MONTH TO CLARIFY HERE TODAY, IT WILL BE REVISION FIVE, UH, PREDECESSOR TO THE PROCEEDING.

THIS IS THE INTENT OF THIS, UH, CONCEPT OR VISION HERE IS TO REALLOCATE 851 RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT HAVE BEEN ORIGINALLY DESIGNATED IN THE POT PLAN ITSELF.

UH, WE'RE MOVING SOME OF THE, WE ARE INCREASING THE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FROM 1 74 TO 2 53, WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY 45% DECREASING THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FROM TWO 70 TO 1 48, WHICH IS DECREASE OR ROUGHLY 45%.

AND THEN AN INCREASE OF THE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FROM 4 0 7 TO FOUR 50 PLUS AN 11% INCREASE.

UH, WE'RE ALSO MODIFYING SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL ZONE SETBACKS TO BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE PROPOSED MATERRA FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

AND THEN, UH, WITH THAT, I ALSO HAVE IS THE ENGINEERING, UH, REPRESENTATIVE FOR MATERRA, UM, MICHAEL THOMAS, BUT THE PLAN IS A DESIGN GROUP

[00:55:01]

AND I'LL LET HIM COME UP AND SPEAK AS BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT FOR THAT.

I HAVE THAT AFTERNOON.

MICHAEL THOMAS SAID WITH THE PLAN IS DESIGNED ROOM 83 52 BLUE MOUNTAIN BOULEVARD.

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF ANKLES DEVELOPMENT, WHO IS THE APPLICANT FOR MACQUARIE PHASE TWO? THE TERRA PHASE TWO IS A COMPLETELY SINGLE FAMILY.

RESIDENTIAL IT'S VERY MUCH SIMILAR TO, WHAT'S BEEN CONSTRUCTED RECENTLY OUT THERE WITH MATERRA PHASE ONE.

UM, THERE ARE SOME HIGHLY LOADED RESIDENTIAL PRODUCT AND SOME LOADED, UH, RESIDENTIAL HUB PRODUCT LOCKED.

UM, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT PHASE TWO IS ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE WOMAN'S HOSPITAL, BUT THERE IS A RAGE, AN APPLE RAGE, UH, IN OUR OLD BROADWAY GOLF COURSE AND DRAINAGE SPLITS EAST AND WEST.

SO WE'RE ON THE EASTERN PORTION.

WE'RE DOING A BRAND NEW DETENTION PONDS ARE DESIGNED TO PINE FOR THE A HUNDRED YEAR STOLEN.

IN FACT, IT DECREASES THE DISCHARGE FOR THAT ONE YEAR STONE WITH THAT, UH, THE PEAK DISCHARGE, UH, BUT I'M HERE.

UH, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS MAY HAVE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.

WE DO HAVE TWO SPEAKER CARDS THAT ARE IN TOP POSITION.

UH, THE FIRST WAS FOR DALE TO GO, OKAY.

HE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

OTHER RECORD IS BORE.

DAVID DID THIS AND MY PROBLEM IS MY NAME'S DAVID DAVIDSON, MY 1 3 4 7 CEDAR PARK, SUITE EIGHT.

UM, I WENT TO PROBABLY 68 91, A BIG CRUISE LINE, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT BEHIND THE POND BY THE HOSPITAL.

AND IN 2016, WHEN THEY PUT THAT BY MOVING AROUND THE HOSPITAL, THEY FLOODED MY HOUSE OUT AND I TORE IT DOWN AND UH, AND SINCE THEN THEY PUT, THEY PUT A BIG, BIG, UH, DAYCARE NEXT DOOR.

THEY RAISED IT UP FIVE FEET AND, UH, I JUST QUESTIONED HOW MUCH DETENTION ACTUALLY DID IT.

JUST YOUR BONDS ARE GOING TO PUT IN THERE BECAUSE IT FLOODED ME OUT ONE TIME.

WE NEVER HAD WATER ON THE PROPERTY SINCE THAT MOMENT.

AND I REALLY CAME OUT TO SEE WHO WAS DOING THE SOCKET TALK TO HIM.

NO, HE WAS AGAINST IT.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY GOING TO DO TO KEEP THE WATER FLOODING OUT AGAIN, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN FLOODED OUT.

AND REALLY, I WAS NOT FLOODED TO PUT THE BULLET IN AROUND THE HOSPITAL AND HIM, AND THAT'S WHAT I TOLD HER HOUSE NOW.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY BACKUP.

AND THEN AFTER THEY PUT THE BULLET, IT FLOODED NOW, JOE, ME, WE MADE IT, WE HAD IT FLOODED.

UM, IN REGARDS TO THAT, UH, I WILL SAY THAT I THINK HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE BALLOON OR THE AQUA DAM THAT WAS INSTALLED DURING THE 2016, BUT AT THE HOSPITAL, WHICH WAS, UH, ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, ALLOWING AROUND THE LAKES ITSELF.

UH, THAT WAS AN EMERGENCY MEASURE THAT WAS PUT OUT BY THE LOUISIANA NATIONAL GUARD, UH, TO SAY THE FACILITY AT THAT POINT DURING THAT RECORD EVENT.

UM, I NOT AWARE OF ANY IMPACTS THAT HAD I BELIEVE ON THIS AREA, UH, ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CAMPUS ITSELF IN REGARDS TO DETENTION.

YEAH, THERE THERE'S A MAJOR STORM WATER DETENTION FACILITY THAT WAS DEVELOPED IN REGARDS TO THE CONCEPT OR THE PUCK PLANT IN GENERAL.

UH, THERE WAS OVER 90 ACRES, UH, FEET OF STORAGE THAT WERE GENERATED BY THEIR STORMWATER DETENTION BASIN, UH, THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE FOR, UH, THE ENTIRE WOMEN'S HOSPITAL CAMPUS.

AND, BUT IN ADDITION TO OVER 300 ACRES BEYOND THAT, TO TAKE INTO THAT FLOW AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS, UH, DURING THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED OVER TIME, UH, THEY ADDED AN ADDITIONAL MEASURES.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY PUT, UH, INCREASE ALCOHOL CAPACITIES AT THE ALCOHOL UPON, UM, UH, OVER THE YEARS TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL FLOW, UH, AND REDUCE TAILWATER EFFECTS.

UH, I THINK HE WAS REFERRING TO THE SCHOOL, UH, WHICH IS ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT OHIO SPEAK UP ON THE NEXT SIDE, UH, LATER ON, BUT THERE WAS, UH, SOME DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE DONE TO WHY WE EXIST THE HITCHES THAT WERE DOWN OUT THERE.

AND THEY'LL PROPOSE TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL STUFF, BUT I'LL GET INTO THAT TO A LATER POINT.

UH, THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS CONCEPT DIVISION, UNLESS YOU ASK ME.

I THINK YOU MENTIONED AT THE TIME I PULLED THE PUBLIC AREA AND INVITED ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, EMOTIONS FOR THESE TWO ITEMS

[01:00:12]

AND ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, SHE CALLS IT WARRANTS COMING IN THE HOUSE.

NOW, NOW, NOW THE , BUT THEY ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT .

UM, IT'S EMOTIONAL EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION.

I ADD SIMPLE APPROVAL THAT THAT MOTION HAS BEEN SECONDED BY VICE CHAIRMAN GROUT.

ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO APPROVE ON THESE ITEMS SAYING THAT NOBODY HAS BEEN APPROVED? MR. CHAIRMAN, WE CAN, UH, WE'LL DO THE NEXT TWO THAT CAN ALSO BE TAKEN TOGETHER WITH TIME 16 AND 17 ON YOUR AGENDA.

AND YOU, AT THIS TIME, WE WILL HEAR

[Items 16 & 17]

ITEMS NUMBER 16 AND 17 4 0 8 WOMEN'S HOSPITAL CONCEPT PLAN REVISION FIVE AND CHARTER SCHOOL WOMEN'S HOSPITAL FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVISION TWO I REMEMBER 16, BUT EIGHT WOMAN'S HOSPITAL CONCEPT PLAN REVISION, FIVE INCREASE OF COMMERCIAL BUILDING AREA IN ZONE SEVEN ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF AIRLINE HIGHWAY, EAST OF PICU LANE ON TRACK X, ONE B OF THE EBOLA MCCALL AND ANDERSON TRACK CANCELED DISTRICT NINE HUGS AND COMPANION CASE ITEM NUMBER 17, FOUR DEATHS, URUGUAY CHARTER SCHOOL WOMAN'S HOSPITAL, FINAL DEVELOPMENT, PLENTY OF REVISION TO PROPOSE NEW CLASSROOM BUILDING AND REMOVAL OF MODULAR CLASSROOM BUILDINGS ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE AND MCCALL DRIVE EAST OF STONEBERG LANE ON TRACK X, ONE B OF THE EOA MCCALL ANDERSON TRACT ALSO CANCELED WELL AND THE COMMISSION STAFF.

SO CONCEPT PLAN REVISION MEETS A MINIMUM CRITERIA FOR PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING USES AND CONFORMING TO YOU ABOUT A DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS STAFF SERVE ON SET.

THE PROPOSED FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVISION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN.

IT MEETS THE MINIMUM CRITERIA ARE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPATIBLE COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING USES AND CONFORMING TO UDC REQUIREMENTS.

WE HAVE RECEIVED ONE MESSAGES IN OPPOSITION TO THESE TWO ITEMS. THANK YOU.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL DO A PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE THAT EXCEED 15 MINUTES.

AGAIN, MY NAME IS ANDRE RATHER DIRECTLY WITH STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES, UH, 1200 BRICKYARD LANE, SUITE 400 BATON ROUGE, 7 0 8 0 2, UH, HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE OWNER OF THE PUB AND WOMAN'S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION, UH, FOR BOTH CASES, UH, THE CONCEPT PLAN REVISION IS A REVISION TO THE ENTITLEMENT RIGHTS OF THE BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT THE SCHOOL, WHEN WE LOAD OUR IS LOCATED IN, WHICH IS KNOWN AS ZONE SEVEN.

UM, THEY, UH, WE NEED TO DO TO INCREASE THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WAS PERMISSIBLE, UH, FROM 64,500 TO 7,900, JUST UNDER 10%.

UH, AND WE ALSO REDISTRIBUTE THE COMMON OPEN SPACE THAT WAS ALLOCATED IN ZONE SIX TO, UH, TO BETTER FIT WITH THE OVERALL CONCEPT PLAN ON THE CHARTER SCHOOL.

FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, UH, IS, OR A VISION TO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

UM, THIS REVISION INCLUDES THE REMOVAL OF THE FOUR MODULAR BUILDINGS, WHICH ROUGHLY IS ABOUT 6,200 SQUARE FEET, UH, FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND IT WILL BE REPLACED BY A SINGLE TWO STORY, 23 OR 25,130 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE THE MIDDLE AND A HIGH SCHOOL.

TOTAL STUDENTS, UH, WILL BE FROM K THROUGH 12TH WHEN THIS IS ALL SAID AND DONE, UH, THERE WHERE THE MODULAR BUILDINGS WERE AT THAT WILL BE CONVERTED BACK TO COMMON OPEN SPACE.

SO THEREFORE THE COMMON OPEN SPACE GOT REDISTRIBUTED ON THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN ALSO.

UH, AND LASTLY,

[01:05:01]

UM, WE ARE GOING TO INCREASE, UH, SOME OF THE PARKING TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THE DEMAND THAT WILL COME WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND MORE STUDENTS, ALL THAT PARKING WILL BE PERVIOUS CONCRETE AS PROPOSED IN OUR PLAN TO BOTH OFFSET RUNOFF AND, UH, THAT WILL BE COMING FROM RAINFALL AND TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY AS IT LEAVES THE SITE.

AND I DO APOLOGIZE.

THERE WAS ONE MORE LAST THING THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS THE NORTH DITCH WHERE, UH, THIS SCHOOL DOES DRAIN INTO THIS DITCH, UH, DRAINS FROM, UH, WEST, I MEAN, EAST TO WEST AND EVENTUALLY GOES, UH, UNDERNEATH STENBERG LANE AND THEN INTO THE DETENTION, UH, LAKES AT THE OVERALL CAMPUS.

AND THEN THROUGH QUITE HIGH BODY, WHEN THE SCHOOL WAS BUILT, UH, THE DITCH WAS WIDE FROM APPROXIMATELY 12 FEET, A NATURAL MEANDERING DITCH THAT WAS IN THE GOLF COURSE TO A STRAIGHT LINE DITCH THAT EXPEDITE THE FLOAT TO STONEBERG AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.

UH, SINCE THEN, IF OUR, IT WAS WIDE OUT TO 20 AND A HALF, AND IT WAS FROM 12 TO 20 AND A HALF FEET.

AND THEN SINCE THEN IT HAD BEEN CLEANED AND MAINTAINED BY WHEN, UH, THE, THE OWNER OR THE, THE TENANT BEING BASED AT SCHOOL, UH, MOST RECENTLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO VEGETATION ON THAT TO ALLEVIATE THE MAINTENANCE ISSUES OR THE CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE WITH THAT INTO CONTINUOUS FLOW OF IN THIS PLAN, THEY'RE PROPOSING THROUGH OUR EXCAVATE AND DREDGE THE DITCH ITSELF UP TO FOUR FEET.

SO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO VEGETATION THAT WILL GROW OR DETAIN ANY KIND OF FLOW, UH, LEAVING THIS SIDE OR ANYWHERE UPSTREAM AND GET IT DOWNSTREAM AND GET IT OUT INTO THE ULTIMATE ALCOHOL, WHICH WILL BE, UH, LIKE A FIGHT WITH THAT.

UM, I'LL BE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

AND THEN AS THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COMMENTS I LIKE TO TALK TO HIM AFTER I MENTIONED THE ADDISON'S EMOTION ON THE FLOOR TO IMPROVE THIS ITEM.

SECOND BUMPER BEEN APPROVED AT THIS TIME.

[20. PUD-4-12 The Waters at Millerville, Greens at Millerville, Final Development Plan]

WE NEED MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 24, 12, BARRING WITH DEVELOPMENT.

I REMEMBER 24 DASH 12, THE WATERS AT VALOR, BILL GREED, HIGH DENSITY, MULTIFAMILY, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF MILLERSVILLE GREEN BOULEVARD, WEST OF MILLERSVILLE ROAD ON PARCEL TWO 80 OF THE GREENS THAT COUNCIL DISTRICT GATE AMA ROSA PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF CERTIFIED.

SO THE PROPONENTS REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PROOF OF CONCEPT PLAN AND MEETS MINIMUM CRITERIA OF A PLAN.

YOU NEED DEVELOPMENT BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING USES, AND ALSO CAN PULL ME TO HIT BY DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS.

WE HAVE RECEIVED 137 MESSAGES IN OPPOSITION TO DECIDE AT THIS TIME I WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE THE .

UH, GOOD EVENING, CHRIS BARRETT, BARRETT'S ENGINEERING 1, 1 8 5, 4 BRICKS ON THEM.

UM, THIS IS THE LAST PHASE OF, UH, THE GREENS WITH MELVILLE TRYING TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

UM, THIS IS A 13 LITTLE OVER 13 ACRE PORTION.

WE'RE PROPOSING A 295 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX.

THAT'S A FOUR BUILDING THE CLUBHOUSE IN THE MAINTENANCE BUILDING, UH, OF THE 13 ACRES.

UH, 51% WILL BE DEVOTED TO GREEN SPACE AND COMMON OPEN SPACE.

UM, IN ADDITION TO THE STIPULATIONS THAT WERE PUT INTO PLACE FOR APARTMENT BUILDINGS, UM, AFTER DISCUSSIONS

[01:10:01]

WITH THE NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH OF THE MINIMUM SETBACKS FROM THE AWAN WOULD BE 75 FEET FOR BUILDING WE'RE PROPOSING THE PARKING TO THE 93 PLUS SPEED, UH, 93 FEET MINIMUM, AND THEN THE BUILDINGS WILL BE 158 FEET.

UM, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S SOME CONCERNS ABOUT DRAINAGE, BUT IN, IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, EVEN BACK WHEN THE 10 YEAR STORM WAS WHAT WAS REQUIRED FOR EAST BATON ROUGE, SINCE THIS PROPERTY DRAINS INTO A FEDERAL HIGHWAY SYSTEM, THEY WERE, WE WERE REQUIRED TO DESIGN TO A 50 YEAR STORM, WHICH EVEN EXCEEDS TODAY'S 25 YEAR STORM STANDARDS.

UH, ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS BROUGHT UP WAS TRAFFIC.

UM, UH, WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT APARTMENTS WERE, WERE JUST INTRODUCED TO THIS DEVELOPMENT, ACTUALLY APARTMENTS HAVE BEEN PART OF IT, UH, FROM THE BEGINNING, UH, MAXIMUM 320 UNITS.

SO WE'RE UNDER THAT.

UM, BUT, BUT BECAUSE APARTMENTS WERE INCLUDED, UH, THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN INCORPORATED IN THE TRAFFIC.

UH, EVEN THE DEVELOPER HAS SENT BILL TO AN ON RAMP AND BUILT, UH, A NEW INTERSECTION WITH LIGHTS.

I BELIEVE HE'S BUILT A, OF THOSE TO HELP ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC ALONG MILLERSVILLE ITSELF.

UM, OTHER THAN THAT I KNOW PROPERTY VALUES WAS THAT WAS AN ISSUE.

I WON'T SPEAK TO THAT, BUT I'LL LET SOMEONE ELSE, UM, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

NEXT CHORD IS BRETT FROM YEP.

WELL, FOR, UM, ON BEHALF OF THE DEVELOPER, UM, OPEN REAL ESTATE, LLC, AS CHRIS INDICATED, JUST NOW THAT APARTMENTS HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT FOR LIKE 10 YEARS.

SO WHEN WE DID THE ORIGINAL PRACTICE STUDIES BACK IN 2000, OR I THINK IT WAS MAYBE 2008, WE'VE ALWAYS INCLUDED APARTMENTS AS PART OF IT.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT THAT'S PIE IN THE SKY.

IT'S SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS, WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

UH, WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THESE THINGS.

WE HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED THE DRAINAGE.

WE'VE TAKEN ALL THE GRAINS FROM THIS SITE, MOVED IT TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE WEST OF THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY SYSTEM.

UH, IF NOT THE DRAIN, GRANTED WOULD BE MORE TOWARDS THE NEIGHBORS.

WE'VE MOVED IT AWAY FROM THE NEIGHBORS THAT THE FLOODING THEY HAD IN 2016, CAME FROM THE NORTH.

WE'RE NOT REALLY ABLE TO DO THAT, BUT WE CAN TAKE OUR DRAINAGE AND MOVING AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY WHICH WE DID AT SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSE.

UM, WE ALSO DONATED A SITE FOR THE LIBRARY ON OUR 12, IN ORDER TO FACILITATE DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA TO HAVE LIFESTYLE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

UH, WE SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC THAT OUR SOUL COST BACK IN THE DAY.

YOU COULDN'T TURN WESTBOUND IF YOU WERE ON SOUTHBOUND OR MILLERVILLE, YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS LOOP AROUND.

AND IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS INTERSECTION INTERCHANGE, AND IT WAS ON THE DOTD HIS LIST OF THE MOST DANGEROUS INTERSECTIONS IN THE STATE THAT NEEDED TO BE IMPROVED.

SO WHAT DID WE DO? WE DONATED THE LAND PHONE ALL THE WAY UP AT OUR EXPENSE WORTH ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS.

AND WE ACTUALLY GOT WITH DOTD.

THEY DESIGNED THE ON RAMP IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE INTERSECTION TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRAFFIC, UH, THE ISSUES THAT WERE THERE.

THEY WERE ALL TRAFFIC ISSUES.

BEFORE WE DID ALL OF THIS AT OUR EXPENSE, IT COSTS ABOUT $4 MILLION TO DO THAT.

THE TRAFFIC STUDIES HAVE ALWAYS INCLUDED, UH, APARTMENTS ON THIS SITE.

ORIGINALLY THEY WERE 320 UNITS.

THIS IS WAY LESS THAN THAT.

THIS DEVELOPMENT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.

THERE'S NOTHING HERE.

AND I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS WAS APPROVED, UM, THIS, THIS, UM, LUMEN OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES A LITTLE BIT FROM THE WEST OR THE EAST WAS APPROVED, I THINK BACK IN MARCH.

AND SO WE'RE NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN HAVE APARTMENTS, Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY APPROVED AND THAT'S BEEN APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY, BUT ONLY THING IS BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION TONIGHT IS THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

AND SO WHAT YOU LOOK AT IS DO THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS? AND AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF SAID, THEY MEET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN APARTMENT SITE, UH, ON THE SITE.

AND SO THERE'S NOTHING REALLY TO BE, UM, DEBATED WITH REGARD TO THE APARTMENTS THAT'S ALREADY COME BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE COUNCIL, AND BEEN APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY IN BOTH CASES, THE DEVELOPERS THAT ARE GOING TO DO THE APARTMENT SITE, THEY HAVE RELIED ON THAT APPROVAL.

THEY HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON ENGINEERING, ARCHITECTURAL FEES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, AND THEY MEET AND EXCEED ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.

SO WE DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ANYTHING THAT SHOULD BE CONTROVERSY ABOUT THIS.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS ANY, THANK YOU.

THAT DID NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

WE HAVE SEVERAL MORE SPEAKER CARDS THAT ARE IN FAVOR

[01:15:01]

I'LL READ THOSE MOVES.

AND NOW CLAY FROM CHARLIE COLON, WHEN YOU GLADLY NOW MOVE ON TO SPEAK THE CARDS THAT ARE IN OPPOSITION.

I PURCHASED THIS FOR MARLIN, MY HAPPY THREE MINUTES.

UM, MY NAME IS MARTIN.

MY HAT GOT LIVED IN A COUNTRY RIVER SUBDIVISION RIGHT NEXT TO THE DEVELOPMENT ABOUT 80 HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND EVER SINCE THE DEVELOPMENT WAS PUT IN, THERE WAS NO CONSIDERATION DONE FOR THE TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THERE'S NO PLACE ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HILL TO MAKE A U-TURN LEGALLY.

IF YOU LOOK AT O'NEAL LANE, THERE'S FOUR PLACES TO MAKE HIM TURN.

WE HAD THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT WAS MOVED TO THE FRONT OF THE MIDDLE OF BILL GREEN WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, I WOULD LIKE A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF TRAFFIC THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT PEOPLE ON MILLERVILLE GOING BY THE LAW.

THEY DON'T MAKE A U-TURN.

THEY COME INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO MAKE A U-TURN TO GO TO THE SERVICE STATION AT THE CORNER OF THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN.

AND IF YOU HAD 473 PARKING SPOTS FOR THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX, IT'S GOING TO ADD TO ALL THAT, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ANYBODY IN THAT DEVELOPMENT TO GET TO THAT SERVICE STATION, UNLESS THEY'D GET ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HILL, MAKE A U-TURN DROWN NEIGHBORHOOD AND GO TO THAT SERVICE STATION.

THERE COULD BE A WAY TO ALLEVIATE ALL THAT BY HAVING AN ACCESS ROAD TO, FROM THE CONVENIENCE STORE TO THE BOULEVARD WOULD DO ALL THAT.

BUT, UM, THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT, THERE WAS NO APARTMENT ON THAT ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT OR CAR DEALERSHIPS ON THERE.

THIS WAS MODIFIED AFTER THE FACT, BUT, UM, MY MAIN CONCERNS ARE THE TRAFFIC I'D LIKE TO RE HAVING TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY NOW, AND THE IMPACT OF 475 CARS ON THAT COMING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF BILL GREEN.

AND WHEN THEY DEVELOPED THE, THE MIDDLE OF OLD GREENS, ALL THOSE BUSINESSES WERE TIED INTO THE SILVER SYSTEM WITHOUT ANY UPGRADES TO THE LIFT STATIONS.

AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO ADD APARTMENTS, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN UPGRADE TO THE NEWER SYSTEMS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS OKAY.

AND NOT, UH, BACKED UP.

AND IT WAS ALSO A DITCH BACK THERE.

THAT'S NOT MAINTAINED, UM, A DRAINAGE DITCH.

THERE'S NOT MANY 10.

UM, YOU HAVE ABOUT 15 SECONDS LEFT, SIR.

YEAH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET A TRAFFIC STUDY DOWN AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE SUPER TIE IN THE IMPROVEMENTS.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER CARD IS FOR ROBERT TYPICAL.

I LIKE TO SPEAK AT AN OPPOSITION TO THE BIG GREEN APARTMENTS BECAUSE THEY AIN'T GONNA FILL UP THE LAND.

AND WE FUNDED IN 2016 AND, UH, ALSO LIKE THE BEST THE TRAFFIC CAUSE WE LIVE ON COUNTRY BRIDGE AND THEY POSED YOURSELF PULLING OUT DRIVEWAY.

AND I'M PROBABLY ABOUT 60 OR 70 PEOPLE A DAY.

I'VE GONE AWAY AND THEN TURN AROUND AND MAKE THEIR TURN.

AND ALSO THE DITCH IT'S NOT CLEAN.

AND IT'S YOU JUST WORRIED ABOUT FLOODING AND UH, TRYING TO THINK THAT'S WHAT I GOT TO SAY.

ALL NEXT WEEK, OF COURSE, OR SHALL BE NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

PEOPLE MAKE IT, YOU TURN IT ON.

AND THEN WE HAVE A DITCH RIGHT THERE AND THEY, THEY, AND CERTAINLY THAT, THAT THE TRUCKS TURNED OVER IS IT'S DANGEROUS.

YOU

[01:20:01]

HELLO, I'M PAT THOMAS.

I LIVE AT 1883 MYRTLE RIDGE DRIVE.

BEEN THERE 23 YEARS IN THAT TIME.

I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, SOMETIME APPROXIMATELY IN 13 AND 14 DEVELOPERS SUPPORT PROPERTY PAYER AND DEVELOPED.

IT REALLY WAS NEVER TOLD THAT THERE WOULD BE A DEALERSHIP FOR CARS OR RVS.

NOW THEY WANT TO PUT AN APARTMENT COMPLEXES.

EXCUSE ME.

WE HAVE A TRAFFIC PROBLEM NOW, RICHARD TONDA STAIR, OR IF HE'S, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PUT UP.

WHAT BASE PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT IS THAT WE LIVE IN A HORSESHOE.

OUR LAST FARM IS A HORSESHOE.

IT HAS FOUR STREETS, THE HORSE SHOE, THE CIRCLE AT TOP, AND THEN THE STREET GOING THROUGH IT CONSISTS OF 80 HOUSES, BUT THERE'S MORE TO COUNTRY RIDGE FOR THE BACK, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

WE'RE WRAP NEXT TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.

OUR BACKYARDS.

THAT'D BE ABLE TO LOOK IN, INTO OUR BACKYARDS AND WATCH US FROM NEW APARTMENT COMPLEXES.

AND, UH, IT WAS NEVER, EVER SAID IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RESTAURANTS CONSISTENT.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GROCERY STORES, FITNESS CENTERS AND RESTAURANTS MAKING NAIL SALONS.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THEIR DEVELOPERS ARE TRYING TO SNEAK THIS IN.

AND IF ANYONE, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE GOING BACK TO 2005 AND SIX AND SEVEN.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THEIR PAPERWORK BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE HIM.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

WE WERE NEVER TOLD BY.

SO SINCE THEN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD, 80 HOUSES, 73 OF THEM FOR LEARNED IT ONCE THEY PUT IN RICHARDS HONDA AND THE RV CENTER.

AND I THINK I'M RIGHT.

I MAY BE WRONG.

I'M NOT SURE.

UM, AND TILL I CAN FOR LINE OH, HAMMOND HIGHWAY, THIS IS THE, I HAVE OVERDEVELOPED OUR AREAS BEFORE THE ROADS CAN HANDLE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC.

IMAGINE THE NIGHTMARE THAT'S GOING TO BE WITH 300 AND 299.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO PROBABLY BE ABOUT 450 CARS IN A DISH.

WELL, THAT'S NOT FAIR.

ANYWAY, UH, OKAY.

AFTER THE 2 20 16 FLOOD, THE SEWER COMPANY STAYED IN FRONT OF OUR MAILBOX FOR TWO WEEKS, CLEANING THEM OUT.

WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? THERE'S A FLOODING ISSUE BY IT.

YOUR TIME IS INSPIRED.

BUC-EE'S THAT WAS GOING TO BE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF CARS.

TWO ADDITIONAL SPEAKER CARDS THAT ARE IN OPPOSITION, BUT DO NOT WISH TO SPEED THOSE UP FOR KAREN PILOT AND JUDAH WIT AT THIS TIME, I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR A FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL.

UH, I'M HAVING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT I'D LIKE TO REFER MR. BUFFER, UH, TO ANSWER MOST OF THE TRAGIC W W WE HEAR THEIR CONCERNS.

UH, BUT I WILL POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE DONE AND SPENT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.

RICHARDS HONDA, DIDN'T OPEN UNTIL 2019.

THAT WASN'T THE CAUSE OF THE 2016 FLOODING.

WE MOVED THE WATER AWAY FROM THOSE LOTS WHERE WE DID OUR RETENTION POND AND SYSTEM.

WE HAVE ALREADY IMPROVED THE LIFT STATION AT THE REQUEST OF THE CITY PARISH.

UM, THE DRAINAGE DISH THAT THEY TALK ABOUT NOT BEING MAINTAINED IS GOING TO BE A WATER FEATURE AND HIS APARTMENT COMPLEX.

THAT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY, VERY NICE AND LOOK VERY NICE RIGHT NOW.

IT'S STILL KIND OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT OUT THERE.

AND YOU KNOW, THAT THINGS, UM, WITH CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS DON'T LOOK LIKE THE FINISHED PRODUCT.

UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE U-TURN IS.

WE MOVE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AS REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF LOUISIANA WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO DO THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS.

WE DID PAY FOR THAT, BUT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS REQUIRED ON US.

THE LAST THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IS THIS SITE, YOU DON'T REMEMBER BUCKY'S WAS COMING TO BATON ROUGE.

BUCKY'S THIS IS WHERE BUCKY'S WAS GOING TO BE.

AND IF THEY THINK THE TRAFFIC IS BAD WITH 300 APARTMENTS, WHAT WAS IT GOING TO BE LIKE WITH BUCKY'S THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE METRO COUNCIL ALL APPROVED

[01:25:01]

THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN WHAT WAS APPROVED BACK.

WHEN BUCKY'S WAS COMING.

APARTMENTS HAD BEEN IN THIS SINCE THE START, THE BUCKY'S WASN'T, UH, WAS APPROVED.

EVERYBODY WAS GREATLY IN FAVOR OF BUCKETS.

I WISH BUCKY'S HAD COME HERE.

I LIKED GOING TO BUCKY'S, BUT, UM, THEY DECIDED THEY DIDN'T WANT TO COME TO LOUISIANA.

WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED.

WE WISHED THEY HAD BOUGHT IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T, BUT IT'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN HAVING A THOUSANDS OF CARS WITH BUCKY'S.

WHO'S GOING TO BE THERE.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HERE.

AND, UH, I LIKE TO JUST, UH, ASK ANY DIRECTOR HOPING TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT ABOUT ONE OF THE CONCERNS RAISED DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

A YOUNG LADY SPOKE ABOUT HER CONCERN FOR THE POTENTIAL, FOR THOSE APARTMENTS BEING BUILT, THE PROXIMITY TO THEIR HOMES AND POSITIVE POLICY.

UH, I BELIEVE THAT'S ADDRESSING THAT'S CORRECT.

UH, COMMISSIONER, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPE OVER THAT IS REQUIRED BY CODE THAT'S.

PART OF THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT.

THEY ACTUALLY GREATLY EXCEED THE MINIMUM LANDSCAPE BUFFER.

UM, THE BUILDINGS WERE ACTUALLY SET FURTHER BACK THAN WHAT IS REQUIRED BY CHAPTER 18.

AND THE UDC.

I DO WANT TO TOUCH ON SOME ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS REGARDING, UH, SEWER IMPROVEMENTS, UH, TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS.

THOSE ARE ALL WRITTEN IN THE, UH, STIPULATIONS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT.

SO ANY APPROVAL TONIGHT WOULD BE CERTAINLY A CONTINGENT ON THOSE, THOSE REQUIREMENTS TO, TO BE, UH, COMPLETED.

UM, THIS IS A PRELIMINARY APPROVAL THAT'S BEING CONSIDERED TONIGHT.

THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL STEPS WITH CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS AND PERMITTING ALONG THE, ALONG THE WORK.

THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

VICE CHAIRMAN GROUT.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

IF I CAN.

FIRST ONE TO THE DIRECTOR OF, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT APARTMENTS YOU'RE BEING SNUCK IN.

WHEN, WHEN, WHEN MEMBERS MULTI-FAMILY INCLUDED IN THIS, IN THIS DEVELOPMENT, WE RECEIVED QUITE A FEW COMMENTS AND OPPOSITION, UH, DUE TO THE USE OF MULTIFAMILY, UM, EITHER BEING ALLOWED OR CONSIDER TONIGHT THE GREENS AND MILLERSVILLE WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED UP TO 320 MULTIFAMILY UNITS, UH, WAY BACK IN 2012.

AND THIS IS, THIS IS LESS THAN THAT, CORRECT? CORRECT.

IT'S BEING CONSIDERED TONIGHT IS A PROPOSED 295 COMPANY.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. FERRIS OR FOR THE DEVELOPER.

WHAT, WHAT IS, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT IS THE VEHICLES PER DAY COUNT OR THIS DEVELOPMENT? UH, UM, I MEAN, I KNOW THERE, I KNOW THIS, THE CITY DOES, DOES THE TRAFFIC STUDY WHEN, WHEN THIS IS WHEN THIS IS LOOKED AT.

UM, BUT MY QUESTION IS, CAUSE I HEARD SEVERAL COMMENTS IN OUR, I KNOW I ACTUALLY READ THE EMAILS, ALL OF THEM.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT WANTING RESTAURANTS AND SHOPPING AND GROCERIES TO GROCERY STORES IN PARTICULAR.

AND I KNOW THAT, UM, IF YOU HAVE A GROCERY STORE, LIKE EVEN IF YOU HAD A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD WALMART, YOUR, YOUR PEOPLES PER DAY OR IN THE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS.

AND SO IF YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS IT LESS THAN 300.

SO EVEN IF THEY HAD TWO CARS, HER AT 600 PER DAY, BUT AS IF YOU HAD A GROCERY STORE THERE, YOU HAVE A LOT MORE THAN THAT.

I KNOW THAT'S A HYPOTHETICAL, BUT, UM, THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING ABOUT THE BPD COUNT TO SEE IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER, BUT USUALLY WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE LESS THAN 600.

SO THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO KNOW.

THANK YOU, MR. BYERS.

AND I'VE LIVED WITH DEVELOPER SINCE DAY ONE, SINCE 2005 AND, UH, WORK WITH BUDDY AMARILLO.

SO, UM, MY, MY QUESTION WHENEVER THERE'S, UM, SOMETHING BEFORE IS THAT IS AS CONTROVERSIAL BECAUSE I REALLY THINK MY COUNCIL MEMBERS SHOULD TRY TO RESOLVE THIS SO MUCH BEFORE IT GETS TO THE COUNCIL.

UM, HAVE YOU ALL MET WITH COUNCILWOMAN ALAMOSA? YEAH.

WE JUST NEED EVERYTHING ON THE RECORD, WENT TO CLASS AND YOU'RE HAVING TO DEVELOP, I'M SORRY IF YOU PROVIDE YOUR NAME, WENDY CLIENT.

[01:30:02]

SO FOR THIS WHOLE PROJECT START TO FINISH, INCLUDING THE INTERSTATE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE MILLER REAL IMPROVEMENTS AND THE WHOLE SINCE DAY ONE.

AND HE WAS UNTIL, AND THEN I REACHED OUT TO MS. SENT HER A LETTER, IT KIND OF EXPLODED AND EVERYTHING, BUT I DID NOT HEAR BACK PROBLEMS. OKAY.

UM, THE RESIDENTS, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY, I DID SIX EMAILS COME THROUGH WHAT WE TRIED TO ADDRESS, BUT ONLY IN THE LAST WEEK, WE, WHEN WE HANDED THE PLAN, THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE THE APARTMENTS FROM THE WEST SIDE TO THE EAST SIDE, THERE WAS SOME OPPOSITION, BUT THEY WANT TO CONTACT.

AND THEN WHEN THE METRO COUNCIL THERE WAS STILL, NO ONE HAD EVER HAD ANY OPPOSITION.

THIS IS THE PRODUCTION WAS IN A SITUATION WHERE LITERALLY WE WERE FLOODED WITH EMAILS AS AN INDICATOR OF 1 37.

AND THE FACT THAT YOU NEED, YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO, UM, KIND OF WOMAN ALSO, BUT SHE DID NOT RESPOND.

I THINK THAT THESE ATOMS ACTUALLY SHOULD BE DEFERRED.

I BELIEVE THAT, UM, OF THE RESIDENTS, UM, COUNCILWOMAN ALAMOSA AND MISS A DEVELOPER, WE NEED TO HAVE A COMMUNITY WHERE THE QUESTION IS REGARDING THE HOW, AND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS BEING EXPLAINED.

UM, I'M, I'M HUGE FOR OPEN DIALOGUE.

AND, UM, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY HAVE HAD, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT A LOT AMOUNT OF OPPOSITION, UM, WE, SO IN THE WHOLE PARENTS, I GUESS I GOT FORWARDED TO ME FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WHAT I SAW WAS 17.

AND SO I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OTHER THAN THE DEBORAH 17 ACCOUNTS.

AND WE ADDRESSED THEM IN OUR OPENING REMARKS.

IN OTHER WORDS, IT WAS EITHER TRAFFIC DRAINAGE OR THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTIES, WHICH I THINK WE'VE ADDRESSED.

AND THE PROJECT ITSELF OVER THE YEARS HAS BEEN EMBEDDED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE MAIL.

I FIRST STARTED IN 2005 AND SIX.

I HAD MET EVERY HOMEOWNER.

THEY HAD SEVERAL DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE BORDERED WE'VE MET WITH THEM.

AND OVER THE OVER TIME ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS, THE PROJECT IS, IS ENGINEERED BEYOND, BEYOND IMAGINE.

SO I THINK WE'VE ALREADY ANSWERED THEIR CONCERNS.

THEY JUST DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THEY'D BEEN ADDRESSED, UH, DUE TO A LACK OF COMMUNICATION.

SO THAT IS AGAIN, CONFIRMED WHY I BELIEVE THAT, UM, YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THESE 15 YEARS.

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE COVERED ALL THE BASES.

AND IN 30 DAYS, UH, TO GIVE COUNSEL YOU ALL SET UP A MEETING BECAUSE WHERE YOU'VE DONE WELL, IT'S, YOU'RE SAYING, IF YOU APPROVE THIS, THEN YOU AT THAT COUNCIL MEETING, YOU HAVE THOSE 1 37.

SO THEY ALREADY HAD THE, SO WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, GOT RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.

THEY WENT TO THE COUNCIL, WE GOT APPROVED NO, SIR, IT'S HARD.

WE'VE ALREADY GONE.

AND IT WAS A CRITICAL MANNER.

SO WE GOT THE COUNSEL THAT SOMETIMES THE NAME OF THE BUYER, THE BUYER HAS SPENT SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ALL THEIR ENGINEERS AND THEIR STUDIES, AND THEY'RE ALL PRODUCTIVE.

THAT'S WHY, ONCE AGAIN, I STAND HERE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL, BECAUSE THIS IS MORE ABOUT SETBACKS, LIGHTING PLANS, LANDSCAPING PLANS, AND WE'VE DONE THE WORK.

LIKE I SAID, I'M SPENDING A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY.

WE'VE DONE ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE THING I UNDERSTOOD THE, FROM THEIR COMMENT WAS FROM COUNTRY MANOR.

JUST ONE MINUTE, WHAT DID IT? 2012 CAME TO THE COUNTY.

SO THE ORIGINAL YOU DO SOME BONE, THE FAMILY WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2012 BY THE COUNCIL, THE MOVEMENT OF SOME USERS AND REWORK, REARRANGEMENT, AND REALLOCATION OF USERS TO THE SITE WAS DONE MOST RECENTLY IN 2020.

BUT WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS JUST THE BOTTLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, ENSURING THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THAT LAST APPROVAL BY COUNCIL.

WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH.

BYE.

SHE TOOK HER.

THAT ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED? WE'VE CONCLUDED THAT I WILL BE MOVING ON.

DID YOU WISH TO MAKE A MOTION FOR COMMISSIONER BANKS TO APPROVE THIS ITEM? AND I BELIEVE THAT MOTION SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ADDISON.

ME, ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO IMPROVE THIS ITEM?

[01:35:02]

AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK UP HERE.

NOT TOO GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS GARTH DECLINE.

I OWN THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO CUT OUT ONE ACRE OF LAND AND THERE'S, UH, TWO SERVITUDES ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY IN THE FRONT THAT I ALSO OWN.

AND WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET A DRIVEWAY HE PUT IN, I PUT ONE HOME BACK THERE.

WE HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL SPEAKER CARD THAT IS IN FAVOR, BUT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BOARD TOMMY BUSH AND WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER CARD AND OPPOSITION THAT DOES WISH TO SPEAK.

THAT IS BOARD BRAD BARR.

COMMISSIONERS ARE APPRECIATE TIME FOR ME TO SPEAK TODAY.

UM, I'M THE ADJACENT LANDOWNER TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY, UH, WHERE THE APPLICANT'S PRIVATE DRIVE UTILIZED TO SERVE TO THROUGH MY PROPERTY AT 171 0 PEERS ROAD.

UM, I WISH I COULD JUST COMMENT IN FOR A COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC TONIGHT.

I DO SUPPORT THE APPLICANT'S RIGHT TO PROPERLY SUBDIVIDE AND DEVELOP HIS PROPERTY.

HOWEVER, I WANT TO PUT A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ON THE RECORD TONIGHT.

UM, THE PRO THE PROPOSED PLAT MAP ATTACHED TO THE, UM, AGENDA ITEMS, NOT CLEARING AND FILLING A PROPER PERMIT.

AND FOR THE RECORD TONIGHT, I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS ALREADY PERFORMED THESE ACTIVITIES, UM, PROPERTY AS SUCH, I HAVE ACTIVE FREE ONE-ON-ONE SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER 7 6 9 8 8 0 NUMBER 7 6 3 8 2 7.

AND NUMBER 7 6 3 8 2 THAT ARE CURRENTLY LOGGED, PERMITS AND ENFORCEMENT IN REGARDS TO THE APPLICANT'S DEVELOPMENT.

I UNDERSTAND THE PERMITS AND IMPORTANT GIRL IS CURRENTLY COORDINATING WITH THE APPLICANT TO REMEDY AS APPROPRIATE.

UM, I ASKED THE CONDITIONERS TONIGHT FOR CONTINUED COORDINATION WITH THESE BATTERIES, PARISH PERMITS AND ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER DIVISIONS, SUCH AS THE SUBDIVISION DIVISION, UH, TO ENSURE THE APPLICANT'S DEVELOPMENTS HAVE BEEN REMEDIED AS APPROPRIATE TO MEET EVR REGULATIONS AND CODE.

AGAIN, IN CLOSING, I DO SUPPORT THE APPLICANT'S RIGHT TO DEVELOP AND SUBDIVIDED PROPERTY.

I ASKED FOR ANY FORM, ANY PERMIT OR ENFORCEMENT IRIS, TO BE RESOLVED PRIOR TO THE FINALIZING OF THE SUBDIVISION AND THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AND AT THIS TIME I WENT BACK TO COME BACK FOR A FIVE MINUTE OFF.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS BACK IN APRIL, WE STARTED THIS SUBDIVIDING AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS DUE TO COVID OR WHAT, BUT FROM APRIL, THIS IS THE FIRST PLACE.

THAT FIRST APPEARANCE THAT I'VE GOT THE BIKE WITH ANYBODY, I THOUGHT WE COULD JUST CALL IT A SURVEY OR I'LL GET THE PROPERTY.

SO THE VAT IS AND START GETTING PERMITS AND EVERYTHING APPROVED.

WELL, IN THE MEANTIME, WHILE I WAS TRYING TO DO THAT, I PURCHASED A MOBILE HOME TRAILER TO PUT ON THE PROPERTY AND THINGS COME TO A DEAD STOP.

WELL, I COULDN'T GET THE PERMITS BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET TO THIS POINT TO GET IT CERTIFIED IT BECAUSE I GOT PUSHED BACK.

NOT THAT I WOULDN'T GET THE PERMITS OR DIDN'T WANT ONLY GET THE PERMITS.

I WOULD, THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD GET THE PERMITS UNTIL THE PROPERTY WAS SO DIVIDED TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, MOTIONS, ADDISON.

AT THIS TIME I PULLED THE PUBLIC HERE.

COMMISSIONERS.

[01:40:15]

UM, OKAY.

I OWN A HALF AN ACRE OF LAND IN FRONT OF HIS PROPERTY.

I OWN LAND ON THE EAST SIDE OF HIS PROPERTY, AND I OWN SOME LAND ON THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY.

ALL THAT LAND IS NOT CONNECTED TOGETHER, BUT I OWN SEVERAL PIECES.

SO THE PIECE OF PROPERTY IN THE FRONT, ON THE ROAD, I OWN THERE'S TWO RIGHT AWAY IS TO GO THROUGH THERE ONES A RIGHT AWAY FOR HIM TO GET TO HIS PROPERTY ON THE LEFT SIDE.

THE OTHER IS A RIGHT OF WAY ON THE RIGHT SIDE FOR ME TO GO TO THE BACK, TO GET TO MY PROPERTY.

SO WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS ON EACH OTHER'S PROPERTY.

MOVE ON TO THE COMMUNICATIONS BEGINNING WITH DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, JUST A FEW THINGS THROUGHOUT THERE AND BEYOND YOU HAVE A COPY OF PROPOSED NEW LANGUAGE FOR GARAGE SETBACKS, THAT WILL BE ON YOUR NOVEMBER AGENDA.

YES, SIR.

I'M TRYING TO SEPARATE DIFFERENT UTILITIES, EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, WITH THE BANK, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT EVERYTHING TIED UP ON ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY , UM, APPLICATIONS AND , SO EVERYTHING GOT SHUT DOWN.

THAT'S LIKE, DON'T DO NOTHING ELSE UNTIL WE GET THIS DONE.

SO WE JUST STOPPED ALL WORK.

I KNEW I HAD TO GET PERMITS, BUT I THOUGHT CALL THE SURVEYOR, GET IT SUBDIVIDED, GET IT DONE.

AND YOU KNOW, BY THE TIME THIS GOT TO HERE, I DIDN'T FALL THE MOBILE HOME TRAILER AND IT HAD TO BE MOVED.

SO IT WAS EITHER WHAT DO I DO WITH IT AT THIS POINT, PARKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE I PUT IT BACK THERE SAYING, WELL, WHO'S NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER AND WHATEVER, EIGHT MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD, UM, WE EVEN PAID THE SEWER PEOPLE SOME MONEY TO COME DO IT.

WE HAVE TO REPAY THAT CAUSE WE LOST ALL THAT MONEY.
