I'M OPPOSED TO HAVING THE, UM, THE VISION BILL, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE MORE OVER FOUR AND DIVISIONAL CERTAIN LANE.
AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TOO MUCH TRAFFIC.
SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD THE SUBDIVISION, YOU CAN HAVE MORE DRAINAGE.
CAUSE RIGHT NOW I LIVE IN STARTING PLACE.
UM, AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHURCH DOWN THE JOURNEY WHEN THE DRAINAGE IS COMING IN, MY DIVISION, BEING FLOODED AND LIVING IN A ONE STREET SUBDIVISION STARTING LANE, AND THEN SOME DIVISION CALLS STARTING PLACE.
SO I'M OPPOSED TO IT RIGHT NOW, TOO.
IF YOU WIDEN THE STREETS AND HAVE SMALL DRAINAGE, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THESE SUBDIVISIONS BEING BUILT UP, IT'S NOT ENOUGH DRAINAGE TO COOK, TAKE CARE OF ALL THE HOUSING THERE.
AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR A FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL.
UH, JUST LIKE TOUCHING ON THE DRYNESS THAT WE ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND THE REQUIREMENTS.
AND WE ARE IMPROVING THE DRAINAGE IN THE, IN THIS AREA BECAUSE OF THE STRICTER REQUIREMENTS, UH, THAT WERE ENFORCED THAT WERE NOT PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT WE DID MAKE THE EFFORT TO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.
SO WE WILL BE MAKING A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO THE DRAINAGE.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE THAT THIS IS NOT A REZONING, IT'S JUST, UH, A PLAT.
MISS YOUR MEMBERS AT THIS TIME, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANY QUESTIONS.
UM, AND SO OUR EMOTIONS, UH, FOR THIS ITEM, COMMISSIONER ADDISON, UH, THE YOUNG LADY WHO SPOKE MRS. PITCHER, PLEASE.
I NEED YOU TO COME BACK TO MY, SORRY.
I DIDN'T PUT INDICATED WHICH OF THE FOUR SUBDIVISIONS THAT YOU LIVE IN ON STAR.
THAT IS ALSO ONE OF THE NEWEST SUBDIVISIONS.
IT'S ONE OF THE OLDER ONES I'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 1976.
I AM AWARE THAT THERE ARE, THERE ARE FOUR OR FIVE OF THEM THAT ARE ON STAR AND THAT ARE NEW.
I JUST THOUGHT THAT YOU, ONE OF THOSE NEW ONES, HOW MANY, HOW MANY RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THE LAST AM I THE DIVISION? YEAH.
IN YOUR AREA? IN THE AREA? I DON'T MEAN JUST YOUR SOUTHERN.
I KNOW YOUR SOUTHERN HE'S APPARENTLY BEEN THERE FOR AWHILE.
I I'M QUITE AWARE OF THE AREA.
I'M JUST TRYING TO, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OTHER HOMES IN THE SUBDIVISION, BUT I KNOW THAT SINCE WE'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 1976, WHEN, WHEN WE BUILT, THERE WAS NO SUBDIVISION ON THAT STREET NOW SINCE THEN WIDEN THE STREET OUT.
UM, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE DRAINAGE, BUT I KNOW IN MY SUBDIVISION IS BEGINNING TO BE FLOODED.
SO I'LL NEED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY ABOUT THE ZONING AND THE, UM, DRAINAGE PROBLEM, BECAUSE NOW I, I'M NOT GONNA SAY ALL THE OTHER SUBDIVISION, BUT, UM, AS A FILTER OF THIS, BUT I DON'T THINK I WANT HAVE AN EDIT WITH SUBDIVISION DRAINAGE.
SO I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU BUILD ANOTHER SUBDIVISION, B MORE WATER, THE OTHER ONE, WE'RE GOING TO GO.
ALSO, WE HAVE A CHURCH THAT JUST BUILT, AND SO THE CHURCH BUILT THIS PROPERTY UP.
AND SO NOW THE HOUSING STARTING PLACE HAS GETTING FLOODED.
AND IT'S ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE NOW THEY DIDN'T DRINK DEAL.
THEY DIDN'T BUILD A TRENCH TOGETHER.
THE WATER I ALREADY TALKED TO MR. HATRICK.
UH, AT THIS TIME I'LL ASK IT DIRECTOR, HOLD THEM.
I KNOW THAT THIS ITEM HAD BEEN DEFERRED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS TO, UH, ADDRESS SEVERAL ISSUES WAS DRAINAGE.
ONE OF THE, THOSE THAT, THAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON TO SIGN THEM WAS DEFERRED.
THAT WAS, UH, ADDITIONAL, UH, CALCULATIONS AND DOCUMENTS THAT WERE REQUIRED THAT THE CITY PARISH REQUIRED TO VERIFY THAT DRAINAGE.
UM, THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED THOSE CALCULATIONS.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND THE SUBDIVISION OFFICE HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
UM, AND AS PRESENTED TONIGHT, THERE ARE ADDITIONAL STIPULATIONS THAT SPEAK TO A DRAINAGE THAT WILL BE ENFORCED AND THERE WILL BE A REVISED DRAINAGE IPEC STUDY REQUIRED WITH CONSTRUCTION PLANS.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION MR. ROBERTS?
[00:20:02]
YES, SIR.COULD YOU JUST EXPLAIN FOR THE PUBLIC, WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ADDRESS DRAINAGE AND THE DETENTION IN RETENTION PONDS YOU PLAN TO PUT IN RIGHT PREVIOUSLY, WE WERE GOING TO CONSTRUCT SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DAWSON CREEK RIGHT-OF-WAY AND DPW HAS A LONG RANGE PLAN FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE THEIR OWN ON DAWSON CREEK.
SO WE HAVE PLACED OUR DETENTION, OUR MITIGATION OUTSIDE OF THAT 300 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY.
AND WE HAVE INCREASED OUR, UH, DETENTION CAPABILITIES TO REDUCE THE FLOW BY 10% SO THAT WE MAKE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE AREA.
UH, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NEW CONSTRUCTION.
SO I BELIEVE I'M FAMILIAR WITH STARTING PLACE AND IT'S FURTHER DOWN STARRING LANE.
IT, DOESN'T NOT EFFECTIVE BOTTOM OUR DRAINAGE ANYWAY, NOT THAT WE WOULD HAVE ANY NEGATIVE IMPACT ANYWAY, BUT WE DID PROVIDE THE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS THAT DPW WAS ASKING FOR AND THEY HAVE APPROVED IT IN REAL.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR MOTIONS BY SHAMROCK MOTION TO APPROVE.
