[CALL TO ORDER ]
COUNCIL.MEMBER'S GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.
UM, GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO OUR WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH, 2021, METROPOLITAN PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING ASSAY.
[1. 21-01171 TND-1-07 Rouzan, Concept Plan Revision 16 ]
ITEM, ONE T AND D ONE DAY ZERO SEVEN.ROSEANNE CONCEPT PLAN REVISION 16 REVISED TO ADD SIX LOW DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL LOTS ON PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OF PERKINS ROAD, EAST OF GLASGOW AVENUE, COUNCIL DISTRICT 12.
THE COMMISSION ACTION WAS TO DEFER TO THE DECEMBER 13 MEETING.
HAS ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM ONE? WE NOW TURN TO COUNCIL MEMBERS, MS. ROCKER.
UM, I THINK THIS MATTER ACTUALLY, UH, NEEDS TO BE DEFERRED TO DECEMBER 13TH, JANUARY, JANUARY OF 19.
IS THAT YOUR MOTION ALL THE WAY TO NEXT YEAR? OKAY.
THE SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER, NO.
[2. 21-01294 PUD-2-21 Maple Cove, Concept Plan ]
ITEM TWO.COUNCIL MEMBERS ITEM TWO REQUIRES A VOTES.
PUT TWO DASH TWO ONE MAPLE COVE CONCEPT.
PLANTS ARE REZONED FROM RURAL TO PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR PROPOSED LOW DENSITY, SEMI DETACHED, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BURBANK DRIVE WEST PETULA AVENUE COMMISSION ACTION TO DENY CARE.
UH, IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM TWO? ANYONE HERE, COME ON DOWN.
STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
MA'AM TURN THAT MIC ON AT THE BOTTOM.
THERE'S A BUTTON ALL THE WAY AT THE BASE OF THAT MIC.
I OWN A HOME AND YOUR UNIVERSITY VILLAS AND I AM A MEMBER OF OUR HOA BOARD.
WE'VE BEEN IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH OUR COUNCILMAN ROWDY, AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPER AND ENGINEER FOR THIS LAND, ART LANCASTER AND MICKEY ROBERTSON.
ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE PRESENTED MANY OPTIONS ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS OUR CONCERNS.
IN REALITY, WE HAVE TO, TO REZONE OR NOT REZONE, LET'S SAY YOU APPROVE A REZONE.
THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT ANY CURRENT PLANS WILL BE UPHELD.
YES, A PUD ZONE DEVELOPMENT IS ATTACHED TO A SPECIFIC PLAN, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THESE PLANS ARE EASY TO CHANGE AND DO NOT STIPULATE QUALITY OF WORK.
LET'S LOOK AT TWO INSTANCES OF THIS, THE COTTAGES AFTER REZONING ART LANCASTER SOLD THIS LAND IN FRONT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO DSLD TODAY.
THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT REFLECT THE PROPOSED AND APPROVED PLAN.
THESE HOMES ARE ALREADY FALLING APART WITH 30 MILE AN HOUR WINDS AND POOR QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP.
THEY COULD END UP LIKE THE APARTMENTS ACROSS THE STREET ON BURBANK BEING PROPPED UP BY TWO BY FOURS, ANOTHER PLAN DEVELOPMENT GOING WRONG TO PELICAN LAKES.
THIS IS ANOTHER ART LANCASTER DEVELOPMENT.
CURRENTLY GOING BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE, AFTER A REASON TO CHANGE THE APPROVED PLAN, TO ADD MORE HOUSES AND DECREASE THE GREEN SPACE.
EVERY PLAN HE HAS GIVEN MEANS NOTHING.
IF HE HAS INTENTIONS, JUST TO GO BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE TO RECONFIGURE IT, LANCASTER NEEDS THE REASON TO MAKE ENOUGH MONEY FOR THIS LAND INVESTMENT TO BE WORTHWHILE.
HE DOESN'T NEED A REASON TO DEVELOP THE LAND.
THIS IS FUNDAMENTALLY WHY WE ARE AGAINST THE REASON WE ARE BEING MADE PROMISES THAT WON'T BE KEPT AS ART AS DEMONSTRATED TIME AND TIME AGAIN, LET'S ALSO DISCUSS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, FLOOD RISK.
ALTHOUGH FLOOD RISKS REMAINS WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THIS LAND WITH OR WITHOUT A REZONE.
WE BELIEVE THAT WITHOUT THE REASON THIS LAND WILL NOT BE DEVELOPED AS A PROFIT MARGIN WILL BE TOO SMALL.
SO REZONING IS ARTS PATHS TO DEVELOPMENT AND THUS INCREASED FLOODING.
EVEN THOUGH HIS ENGINEER ENSURES DEVELOPMENT TO ACCOMMODATE AN A 100 YEAR FLOOD THE WATER FROM THIS AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS MUST GO SOMEWHERE.
INSTEAD OF PREPARING FOR WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED, WE NEED TO LOOK AHEAD AND PLAN FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE WITH THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF MORE DEVELOPMENT, IMPAIRED DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS AND CLIMATE CHANGE.
THESE THINGS DON'T HAPPEN IN A SILO IN THE REAL WORLD, BUT THEY OFTEN DO HERE WHEN DISCUSSING INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS, LEADING DISASTER RESPONSE.
AS THE CITY'S ONLY OPTION DEVELOPERS CAN TELL US THEY'VE WORKED THE NUMBERS, BUT THERE IS NO SYSTEM IN PLACE TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
AS JR BALL NOTED IN HIS RECENT PIECE IN BUSINESS REPORT, THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROPERTY ISSUES LONG AFTER THEY ARE DEVELOPED, INCLUDING FLOODING FOUNDATION ISSUES AND MORE IN ANY OTHER PROFESSION AND AFFECTING THE COMMUNITY.
YOUR WORK IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY GOVERNING BODIES AND LICENSURE.
PUTTING YOUR LICENSE ON THE LINE AS COLLATERAL FOR THE PROMISE OF GOOD WORK.
WE, YOUR CONSTITUENTS HAVEN'T REALLY HAD A SAY IN WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND US FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME DEVELOPERS IN THE AREA HAVE RECEIVED PUSHBACK.
I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPRESENTED OUR WISHES TO VOTE.
MA'AM RIGHT ON TIME, MICKEY ROBERTSON
[00:05:01]
IS HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR.UH, MICKEY ROBERTSON OR ENGINEERING, UH, HAD PREPARED A SPEECH TO, TO MAKE A PRESENTATION HERE TONIGHT, BUT WE HAVE DISCUSSED WITH, UH, COUNCILMAN ROWDY, AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORS ABOUT DELETING THIS ITEM FROM THE AGENDA.
SO IF WE COULD MOVE ON WITH THAT, NOW WE CAN DO THAT OR WE CAN CONTINUE WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I CAN LIKE A PRESENTATION, BUT IT'S WELL, WE DO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IF YOU ARE THE LAST SPEAKER, UH, ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM TWO? ANYONE ELSE HERE? YOU'RE HERE.
WELL THEN I'LL GO AHEAD AND ADDRESS SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT LET'S SAY WHAT I'LL WAIT OR WE'LL TAKE YOU LAST LOOK LIKE YOU MAY HAVE A LOT TO SAY COME ON DOWN.
SO EVEN THE COUNCIL GOT ME, I'M RACING HERE TRYING TO GET HERE ON TIME.
TRAFFIC WAS PRETTY CRAZY LOW WINDED.
UM, NAME'S BEN O'CONNOR, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION FOR A UNIVERSITY OF VILLAS.
UM, IF ANY OF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF VILLA, IT'S A 245 LOT A GATED SUBDIVISION ADJACENT TO THE PROPOSED, UH, MAPLE COVE DEVELOPMENT.
UM, WE HAVE MET WITH OUR COUNSELOR, UH, MR. RODDY, UM, UH, ART AND MICKEY, THE DEVELOPER AND ENGINEERS FOR THIS NUMEROUS TIMES, GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SOME OF THE PROPOSED PLANS.
UM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE FLOOD RISKS ARE STILL STAYING ABOUT THE SAME, UM, WHETHER YOU'RE CHANGING, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY LOTS ARE ON THIS LAND, UM, TO THE, THE AMOUNT BETWEEN EIGHTH OR D OF THE PROPOSALS.
UM, THE RISK STILL STAYS THE SAME BECAUSE BY YOU FOUND, UH, FOR THE TIME BEING, DOESN'T SEEM TO BE CHANGING ANYTIME SOON, UH, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT MORE AND MORE WATER IS BEING PUSHED NOW INTO IT BECAUSE OF THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT ALONG BURBANK.
UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH THEM.
UM, AND OUR BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES HAVE A DETENTION POND IN IT AS IT'S REQUIRED TO.
UM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT DETENTION POND FLOWS INTO OUR LAKE, UH, WHICH THEN FLOWS INTO BY FOUNTAIN.
AND OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS AS BY FOUND CONTINUES TO RISE, UM, WITH MORE AND MORE OF THESE FLOODING EVENTS, OUR LAKE ALSO DOES TO THE SAME LEVEL AS WELL.
UM, SO THE PROBLEM WITH THIS WETLAND AND IT'S A WETLAND, THIS PROPOSED AREA, IT'S A REGISTERED WETLAND, IS THAT IT ABSORBS ALL THE WATER ON ITS PROPERTY, BUT ALSO ALL THE PROPERTIES ACROSS BY A FOUNTAIN, UM, BY EVERYTHING I'M SORRY, BURBANK, EVERYTHING ACROSS FROM US ON THE OTHER SIDE OF BURBANK FLOW IS UNDERNEATH, UM, THERE A HUGE, UM, DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
AND THEN IT GOES INTO THIS WETLANDS AREA.
UM, AND THE PROBLEM IS BY DEVELOPING THIS NOW YOU'RE ELIMINATING THAT SPONGE THAT IS NATURALLY THERE TO ABSORB THAT WATER, UM, WHICH THAT'S THE ONLY PUSHES IT QUICKER AND FASTER AND MORE OF IT NOW AND OR DETENTION POND.
UH, WITH OUR MOST RECENT FLOODING EVENT, WE ACTUALLY HAD WATER TOUCHING THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR HOMES ALONG OUR DETENTION PONDS.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THAT'S A HUGE CONCERN WITH MORE AND MORE DEVELOPMENTS.
NOW WHERE'S THIS WATER GOING TO GO IF IT'S ALREADY TOUCHING OUR FOUNDATIONS, UM, AT THAT POINT, IT'S GOING TO NOW JUST BE GOING INTO OUR HOMES.
UH, OUR HOME VALUES HAVE GONE UP SOME OF THESE HOUSES ANYWHERE FROM 60,000 TO A HUNDRED THOUSAND IN THE PAST SEVEN YEARS.
I'M SURE THE CITY LOVES IT TOO.
IT'S GREAT TAX REVENUE, BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS IF THESE HOMES FLOOD, ALL OF THESE HOMER, UH, VALUES ARE GOING TO TANK AND AS WELL AS ALL THE BUSINESSES THAT SUPPORT THAT.
SO WE JUST KINDLY ASK THAT YOU RECONSIDER THIS AND NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, YOU GO ALONG WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND, YOU KNOW, PROJECT THIS PROPOSAL.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER TWO, MICKEY, COME ON BACK.
SO NOW IF IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, UH, MR. GODA, YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A MOTION.
THAT'S NOT MY UNDERSTANDING, BUT ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO DELETE? YES, SIR.
SO DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WITH YOUR COMMENTS? YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO THANK YOU SO MUCH OF THE COUNCIL.
AND I'LL JUST TALK THROUGH A COUPLE OF THINGS.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, I DO INTEND TO MAKE A MOTION, UH, TO DELETE THIS ITEM.
I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPER.
UM, ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE BEEN IN THIS POSITION WHERE, UH, THERE'S SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO PARTIES AND OUR ROLE IS TO TRY TO COME TOGETHER, FACILITATE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND SEE IF THERE'S SOME, UH, COMPROMISE AREAS.
SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE WORKED OUT.
AND, YOU KNOW, IN THIS INSTANCE, THOSE CONVERSATIONS WERE HAD, AND, AND IN A VERY RESPECTFUL MANNER, WHICH AGAIN IS SOMETHING I THINK OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS A LOT MORE OF, SO KUDOS TO THEM FOR, UM, THE, THE MEETINGS AND THE CONVERSATIONS
[00:10:01]
AS THEY PLAYED OUT.UM, LET ME JUST EXPLAIN TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE, THERE ARE A FEW OPTIONS THAT WERE FLOATED AROUND, UH, WITH RESPECT TO, UH, THE CHANGE OF ZONING FOR THIS PROPERTY.
CURRENTLY RURAL, UH, THE PROPOSAL WAS TO GO TO PUD PLAN, USE DEVELOPMENT.
I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE USE BY RIGHT OR THE PROPERTY.
SO IF IT REMAINS RURAL, THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD TAKE PLACE THAT I BELIEVE THE NEIGHBORS WHO WOULD HAVE THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR BACKYARD WOULD BE, UH, AGAINST.
AND SO I WANTED TO FACILITATE CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS, UH, WITH BOTH PARTIES.
I THINK THE MOTION TODAY TO DELETE, UH, REMOVES THIS FROM THE AGENDA.
AND SO THE NEIGHBORS KNOW THAT THE, THE CHANGE OF ZONING WILL BE REMOVED.
UH, THAT BEING SAID, THE NEIGHBORS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEVELOPER, UH, CAN GO BACK TO THE DRAWING TABLE AND COME IN AT A FUTURE DATE WITH A NEW APPLICATION.
AND AT THAT POINT, I OBVIOUSLY WOULD WANT TO FACILITATE SOME ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS.
SO JUST WANTING TO TALK THROUGH THE RATIONALE AND THE HISTORY OF THIS, WE GOT A NUMBER OF EMAILS ON THIS.
AND SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK YOU ALL FOR FILLING THOSE AND THANKS TO THE CITIZENS WHO SENT THOSE.
UH, SO WITH ALL OF THAT SAID, MR. MAYOR PRO TEM, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO DELETE ITEM NUMBER TWO, MOTION TO THE LEAD BY A COUNCIL MEMBER GO.
THEY SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MOHLER AFTER, DO WE HAVE ANY EMAIL COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBERS? YES, YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED 25 EMAIL COMMENTS, ALL THE POST.
IS THERE ANY OPPOSITION TO THE MOTION TO DELETE? ITEM TWO HAS BEEN
[Items 3 & 4 ]
DELETED.COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE GOING TO TAKE ITEMS THREE AND FOUR TOGETHER.
THEY BOTH REQUIRE EIGHT VOLTS, PA 19 DASH 21 7 8 6 0 MICKENS ROAD TO A MINUTE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN FROM COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MICKENS ROAD, WEST OF NEAR DRY COUNCIL DISTRICT FIVE GREEN COMMISSION ACTION, MOTION TO APPROVE SEVEN ZERO ITEM FOUR, CASE 82 DASH 21 7 8 6 0 MIXES ROAD AND 8100 8200 GLENOAKS ARRIVE TO REZONE FROM HEAVY COMMERCIAL SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MAKING THE ROAD WEST OF THE NEAR DRIVE COUNCIL DISTRICT FIVE GREEN COMMISSION ACTION ON BOTH OF THESE ITEMS WAS TO APPROVE SEVEN ZERO.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEMS BETWEEN THE FOUR? I SEE WE HAVE, UH, FOLKS HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM FOUR.
IS ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM THREE? COME ON DOWN.
IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEMS THREE, YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON BOTH? UH, LET'S HAVE JAMES SCOTT FIRST, COME ON DOWN, JAMES.
THEY WITH, UH, SIX TO EIGHT 13 DAY LOCKED RIDE, UH, BEEN LIVING THERE FOR THE PAST 37 YEARS.
I WAS THERE WHEN IT FLOODED BACK IN ROUGHLY AROUND I'D SAY EIGHTIES OR NINETIES, AND THE CITY PARISH HAD TO PURCHASE RIGHT AWAY, GOING BACK ACROSS THE PRIVATE PROPERTY NOW.
THAT'S DEALING WITH THE FLOOD BOARD AND THAT BOX DID IT GOT THERE IT'S FOR A WATER RIGHT NOW, THERE WAS A STUDY DONE ON THAT LAND.
IT WASN'T DONE BECAUSE THE BOX IS NO WAY THAT BOX WOULD BE STILL FULL OF WATER IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.
EVERY RAIN EVENT, THREE FOOT OF WATER, EVERY RAIN, NOT JUST IN FRONT OF MILES, THAT'S, THAT'S FROM, UH, SIX TO EIGHT 30, WHICH IS OAK CAPITOL.
THAT'S ONE OF THE STREETS THEY WANT TO OPEN UP IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.
STOP SAYING, YOU KNOW, IT'S UNSAFE.
I KNOW THEY GOING TO RUN THE STOP SIGN.
IT JUST HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE RIGHT BACK MAN OVER.
I KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE CONSTANT MEMO, IT REPRESENT THAT AREA.
WHEN I TALKED TO HER ABOUT IT WAS THE PLANNING AND THE ZONING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, BLOOD PROBLEM, BATTERY PROBLEM.
ONLY THING I GOT FROM HER WAS THE PROPERTY HAD BEEN SITTING THERE TELLING ME ABOUT OTHER PARTS OF THE PARISH THAT, YOU KNOW, LET ME GET, LET ME, LET, LET ME NOT GET ON THAT LIMITED STATE.
MY STATE, WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT.
UH, MY SUGGESTION IS OPENED UP LIKE OAK GAPPER ON THE WEST SIDE.
UM, OR EXCUSE ME ON THE EAST SIDE AND LEAVE THE WEST SIDE CLOSE.
CAUSE THAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND THE SAME ON GRAND OLDS GOING BACK, UH, ON THE OTHER HAND, HE GOING TO BE GOING IN FRONT OF SOMEBODY ELSE'S HOUSE TO STOP SAYING, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S LEAVING IS CLOSING THAT, UH, ON THAT, UH, EAST SIDE AND OPEN THE WEST.
AND OVER THAT WAY, YOU STILL GOT A FOOT TRAFFIC AND THEM DEVELOPING THAT PROPERTY GOING OUT, EVEN THOUGH HE GOING TO PUT MORE
[00:15:01]
THAT WAY, THE FAN, THE COMMISSION STAYED, HE DIDN'T WANT BOTHERING ME AND MAKING ROSE.YOU WON'T HAVE A BOTTLE NECK THAT WAY AND MAKING ROLE, UH, THE OTHER THING, THE SCHOOL THAT'S IN A SCHOOL ZONE, UH, YOU CAN'T THE RESIDENT THAT STAYS ON THE LIFT ON THE LONG RIDE CAN NOT GET OUT OF THEIR DRIVEWAY AT EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING WITH 10 AND AFTERNOON.
UH, SO, YOU KNOW, I HOPEFULLY YOU, THEY NEED TO DO MORE STUDYING ON WHAT THEY ON DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY THEY CALL WHEN THEY DEVELOPED THAT PROPERTY.
THAT IS ALREADY THE FLOODING THERE FROM MY HOUSE ALL THE WAY BACK ROUND TO A, THE SCHOOL, WHICH IS THE HOME SOMEONE, UH, SOMEONE, UH, TOMORROW.
ANYONE ELSE HERE? WISHING JUST PICK ON ITEMS THREE AND FOUR.

MY NAME IS MARIE MCCULLOUGH WITH BENCHMARK GROUP ENGINEERING.

I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT HAVING FILLED OUT A SPEAKER CARD, BUT I REQUESTED TO SPEAK ONLY IF NECESSARY.
I REPRESENT THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.
AND, UH, I THINK AT THE FIRST, THE GENTLEMAN FIRST BROUGHT US SOME DRAINAGE AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THAT WE ARE NOT TYING ANY DRAINAGE INTO THE EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM, ALL OF OUR DRAINAGE.
SO THIS NEW FILING IN THE GLEN OAKS AREA GOES THROUGH ITS OWN COLLECTION SYSTEM AND THROUGH A DETENTION POND AND THROUGH A SERVITUDE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GRANTED BY BRETT DIRECTLY INTO ROBERT'S CANAL.
IT WILL BE DETAINED, UH, FOR THE STORMS AND IT WILL BE TREATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHAPTER 15 IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
THE OTHER ONE IS THE CONNECTION.
OBVIOUSLY THE UDC REQUIRES CONNECTION TO STREETS AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID, UH, AS, AS, UH, REQUIRED BY THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
AS YOU KNOW, W I, MY CLIENTS, DINO BROWN AND MR. DANIEL TILLMAN DO NOT OBJECT TO NOT, UH, BEING REQUIRED OR DO NOT OBJECT TO NOT CONNECTING GLENOAKS DRIVE.
HOWEVER, THAT IS A MATTER OF ORDINANCE.
AND, UH, AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAVE VOTED AND, UH, HEARD THE CASE, UH, THEY, THEY VOTED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF OUR PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE SUBDIVISION.
AND WHAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT WOULD BE THESE, UH, THIS PARTICULAR PLAN AMENDMENT AND THE REZONING CASE.
SO ON BEHALF OF MR. BROWN AND MR. TILLMAN, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT, UH, THIS ITEM BE APPROVED AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ANYONE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEMS THREE AND FOUR.
WE NOW GO BACK TO COUNCIL MEMBERS.
COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN IS NOT HERE AND WON'T BE HERE AFTER JANUARY 10TH, UH, 20.
WHAT IS THAT? THE SEVENTH, CONGRATULATIONS, COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN, IF YOU WATCH HIM.
UH, SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT I'M GOING TO MAKE AS ANY COUNCIL ABOUT ANY COMMENTS? NO, YOU'RE NOT UP THERE, BUT GO AHEAD.
MA'AM SO HAVE YOU, UM, EVER HAD, UH, CAUSE I KNOW YOU WERE HERE FOR 18 LAST MONTH.
SO, AND I ASSUME YOU'VE HAD LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS REGARDING THIS.
I KNOW THERE WERE OTHER RESIDENTS, HAVE YOU ALL EVER HAD DPW TO COME AND HAVE YOU EVER, BECAUSE I KNOW MY CONSTITUENT, THEY SIT IN LOTS OF PICTURES AND THEY HAVE DPW TO COME BECAUSE THE DEVELOPMENT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT'S GOING ON.
IT MAY NOT HINDER AND IT MAY NOT HELP.
SO HAVE YOU HAD DPW TO COME OUT AND GIVE YOU, UM, A SOLUTION OR TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING ON AND ASSESS? OKAY, WELL THAT'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE YEAH, SO, SO, SO WHAT, WHAT, WHAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE IS THAT FIRST OF ALL, YOU NEED TO DO A THREE, ONE, ONE CALL BASED ON JUST LISTEN TO ME, A THREE, ONE, ONE CALL WITH WHAT THE ISSUE IS.
YOU NEED TO RECORD THE 3, 1, 1 NUMBER, AND THEN YOU NEED TO, ALONG WITH THAT 3, 1, 1 EMAIL COUNCILWOMAN GREEN'S OFFICE WITH THE PICTURES AND ACTS AS SHE JUST, UH, AS THE COUNCIL WOMAN THAT SAID FOR DPW TO COME OUT AND GIVE YOU AN ASSESSMENT.

ESPECIALLY IN THIS DAY AND AGE OVER, IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE OUTDOOR SEATING AND CUSTOMERS WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SIT OUT THERE WITH THEIR DRINK.
JUST TO ENJOY THE AMBIANCE OF, UM, OF WHAT I ENVISIONED THAT THAT MANY PEOPLE ENVISION A GOVERNMENT STREET TO BE, TO WALK AND, AND, YOU KNOW, TO BE OUTSIDE AND, UM, UH, HAVE FOOT TRAFFIC WITH, UH, THE COMMUNITY WHICH WE HAVE, UM, HAD A LOT OF POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT IT.

WELL, UM, SOME, A BARTENDER HERE.

I CAN'T TELL YOU THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THAT SINCE WE HAVE TO MOVE PEOPLE IN DOORS AND NOT HAVE THEM, I GUESS IF WE DON'T HAVE THE PERMITS AND YOU CAN'T SIT OUT THERE AND THAT'S JUST A WHOLE BIG ISSUE, BIG PROBLEM WITH ATC AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

AND LIKE CAN'T AND THEY GET REALLY UPSET.
AND WE WOULD JUST LIKE FOR THOSE PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY OUTSIDE AND BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, UM, HAVE CONVERSATION, GO SMOKE, YOU KNOW, THOSE THINGS AND IT STARTED TO GET COOLER OUTSIDE.

THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.I WOULD ASK THAT IF WE WERE TO APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, YOU ALL BE REALLY GOOD NEIGHBORS, MAKE SURE THAT YOU CLEAN UP AFTER THE, YOUR VISITORS AND THE PATIENTS WHO ATTEND, UH, THE ESTABLISHMENT AND ARE SITTING OUTSIDE.
UH, THAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT THAT, UM, UH, MANY OF THE PATRONS WHO VISIT THE ESTABLISHMENT ARE SOMETIMES NOT TO CLEAN THIS IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY LEAVE BEHIND WHEN THEY LEAVE.
AND SO THEY FEEL THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO, UH, I DON'T SEE ANYONE HERE TO SEE EVENING.
HOWEVER, I DID SEE A FEW EMAILS.
I AM INCLINED TO SUPPORT THIS.
SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE, UH, SHOWN.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO DEFER THIS ITEM UNTIL WE CAN KIND OF SAMPLE THEIR PRODUCT? I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ETHICS VIOLATIONS THAT WOULD BE IF WE SIT UP DEFERRED TO SAMPLE THE DECORATION, BUT I DO NOT IF YOU PAY FOR IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN DEFER LIKE THAT, BUT THERE HAS BEEN IN THE MOTION AND A SECOND STANDING THE OPPOSITION, UH, NOW THAT WE'VE APPROVED, ALL OF US ARE GOING TO COME BY FOR A DECK THAT I'M GOING TO PAY FOR.
