Jan 19, 2022 Council Zoning

YOU WILLIAM GLADNEY.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD PLEASE.

UM, DR.

WILLIAM GLADNEY DRESS 1320 STEWART AVENUE, UM, PRESENT SOUTH SIDE SIPPY ASSOCIATION.

I WROTE A SPEECH AND NORMALLY I DON'T DO THAT.

SO MAYBE I WON'T RAMBLE, BUT, UM, WE'RE AWARE OF NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS, UH, WITH AND THEY INVOLVE DRAINAGE AND FLOODING.

THEY INVOLVE SOME LEGAL ISSUES THAT PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT.

THEY D THEY INVOLVE CONNECTIVITY WITH HYACINTH AND, UM, WITH EVEN ROSEANNE, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY INVOLVE THE, UM, A COMPLETE DISREGARD OF THE T AND D PRINCIPLES OF NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE ALLOTS.

AND IT'S THE MOST GLARING EXAMPLE OF THAT BECAUSE HIS DEVELOPMENT OR HIS LOT IS IN PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS.

ROSEANNE'S PRETTY BIG.

THE, THE, IF, IF YOU KNOW THE MAP, IT IS DIRECTLY IN THE BACKYARDS OF THE PEOPLE ON METALLY IN THEIR BACKYARD.

UM, I'M SURE Y'ALL HAVE SEEN EMAILS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BRIEFLY SAY THAT I'M SURPRISED WE'RE HERE AT ALL.

AND YOU MAY WONDER WHY WE'RE AT THE METRO COUNCIL PA CHANGING AN ORDINANCE.

UM, ROSEANNE HAS BEEN UNDER A UNIQUE FEATURE IN 2007, 2008.

I WAS THERE.

YOU'VE HEARD ME TRY TO TALK ABOUT IT BEFORE, BUT AFTER A, A CONTENTIOUS FIGHT, UH, THE METRO COUNCIL AT THAT TIME, PASTORS, AND THEY GAVE MR. SPINOSA WHAT HE WANTED SEVEN 50 LOTS, UM, A HUNDRED THOUSAND COMMERCIAL, BUT THEY WROTE IT INTO THE ORDINANCE.

AND SO IT BECAME PART OF THE LAW.

AND THAT MEANT THAT THIS COULD NOT BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH TO THE PC.

IT WOULD HAVE TO COME TO THE METRO COUNCIL TO BE CHANGED.

THAT WAS UTTERLY UNIQUE.

THE ORDINANCE WAS, UM, HAS BEEN A COVETED FEATURE.

THAT'S BEEN OUR ONLY PROTECTION.

IT'S NEVER, IT NEVER GETS CHANGED.

Y'ALL Y'ALL HAVE BEEN HERE FOR AWHILE.

I'VE BEEN COMING BACK AND FORTH HERE FOR A LONG TIME.

THIS ORDINANCE HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED.

IT WAS KNOCKED OUT BY THE ALEC SANTA, MY LAWSUIT IN 2014 CHANDLER LOOP.

AND, AND EVERYBODY THERE PUT OUR STIPULATIONS BACK IN THE ORDINANCE, EVERYBODY WITH ME.

SO WE'RE HERE BECAUSE OF THE ORDINANCE.

WE HAVE TO GIVE LOTS BECAUSE IT'S, THE TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT.

THERE IS NO MORE LOTS LEFT.

AND NOW ALL WE FOUND SOMETHING OVER HERE.

WE NEED SOME LOTS HERE THAT THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS.

AND SO TO, TO HAVE Y'ALL CHANGED, THIS ORDINANCE IS A BIG DEAL.

IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT TO YOU.

IT'S NEVER BEEN TOUCHED BEFORE.

I'M JUST, JUST LETTING Y'ALL KNOW THAT.

RIGHT? UM, THE NEW OWNERS, JOHN INQUEST, CHARLES LANDRY BAY CAME IN, WE'VE WORKED COOPERATIVELY WITH THEM.

YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN US UP HERE FIGHTING WITH THEM ONCE NOT ONCE.

AND WHEN WE'VE APPEARED, IT'S BEEN TO AGREE WITH THEM WITH A COMPROMISE AGREEMENT.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE DID WITH THE, UM, WITH CHARLES.

HE WANTED 55 LOTS.

WE LOOKED AT IT AND WE'RE THINKING WE COULD DO THIS.

WHERE ARE THEY GOING? THEY'RE ALL IN THE FRONT OF ROUSSANNE, THEY'RE IN THE FRONT.

AND THEY'RE ALL ON COMMERCIAL TRACKS.

SO HE'S PUTTING A RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL TRACKS IN THE FRONT OF ROSEANNE.

WE CAN BE GENEROUS.

WE CAN LET HIM HAVE SOME LOTS.

WHY NOT? OKAY.

THAT WAS PUT IN THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT WENT THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THEN CAME TO Y'ALL AND RUBBER STAMP.

THERE WAS NO, THERE WAS NO CONTROVERSY.

THIS THING HAS JUST, JUST GONE OFF THE WAGON.

I RAN OUT OF TIME.

A LITTLE HANDOUT IF I COULD QUICKLY, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE THEM ALL ONE PERSON? SO IT DOESN'T TAKE ALL YOUR TIME.

Y'ALL DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, HEAR THE WHOLE STORY? I THINK SO.

UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS WELL, DR.

KYLE RECORD.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S TIME.

KYLE RUTGERS 1 5, 5, 7 BRAIN JOB.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU ALL THIS WHOLE AREA FLOODED IN MAY, AND THERE'S NO DRAINAGE PLAN ON THIS LOT THAT IT DOESN'T CONNECT WITH THE OTHER PART.

THERE'S A LITTLE, THERE'S A LAWSUIT GOING ON, ON PART OF WHAT HE WANTS TO ACCESS AND THERE THE BIG DRAINAGE OF VERY BIG FLOODING PROBLEMS. SO IT ASKS YOU TO OPPOSE.

IF I MISPRONOUNCE THAT.

WELL, ILLEGALLY STATE LOBLAW CAUSE HARD GARCIA.

I'M AN GARCIO AND I'M I LIVE IN EAST SUBDIVISION.

I'M PRESIDENT OF THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION, UM, UH, 1109 BELVEDERE DRIVE.

UM, I'VE BEEN PRESIDENT FOR 30 YEARS AND Y'ALL, HAVEN'T SEEN ME UP HERE, MUCH BUSTING ABOUT ANYTHING.

UM, SO I'M HERE TODAY BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT.

UM, I HAVE

[00:10:01]

UM, I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ABOUT THE DRAINAGE ISSUES.

UM, IF YOU SAW THE EMAILS I SENT YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING, THOSE HAPPENED THIS PAST YEAR.

UM, I'VE LIVED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SINCE I WAS FOUR AND WE HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING HAPPENED LIKE THAT EVER.

UM, THERE WERE SOME ISSUES RELATED TO THE INITIAL AND DEVELOPMENT, AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY WELL WITH MR. INQUEST AND MR. LANDRY, AND THEY HAVE ADDRESSED ALL THOSE TODAY.

THEY'RE WORKING ON THOSE.

AND SO WE APPRECIATE THEIR EFFORTS.

UM, THE LAND THAT MR SPINOSA WANTS TO TURN FROM ONE HOME SITE INTO SEVEN IS PASTURE LAND THAT DIRECTLY DRAINS INTO OUR BACKYARDS ON WHITE HAVEN.

IT CROSSES THE STREET, IT GOES IN THE STORM DRAIN.

IT HITS OUR SMALL POND AND THEN TRAVELS ON ITS WAY TO FLOODING A NUMBER OF YARDS.

UH, IT WAS INCHES FROM MY HOUSE.

IT DID FEEL THE FIRST FLOOR OF MY HOUSE AND A NUMBER OF OTHER NEIGHBORS, NOT IN THE HOUSE, BUT ALMOST, AND WE JUST FEEL LIKE, UNLESS THERE'S A PROPER DRAINAGE PLAN FOR THESE ADDITIONAL CELL SEVEN HOMES, YOU'RE PUTTING CONCRETE OVER PASTURE LAND THAT USED TO ABSORB THE WATER.

MORE WATER WILL BE COMING.

UM, MR. SPINOSA AND I'VE MET MANY TIMES THIS PAST YEAR, UM, HE TOLD ME HE WAS TYING INTO THE ROUSSANNE DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

THE EMAIL YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS MY RESP UH, THE RESPONSE I GOT FROM CHARLES LANDRY.

IF YOU LOOK AT ONE, HE SAYS HE HAS ONE HOUSE.

NOW HE WANTS SEVEN.

HAVE WE ACCOUNTED FOR THAT? AND HIS ENGINEER SAYS, NO, THE DRAINAGE STRUCTURE IS ONLY ONE.

IF YOU LOOK UP AT TWO, UH, IN THE SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE SYSTEM DOES NOT EXTEND TO THE PROPERTY.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE CURRENT ROUTES AND SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE SEVEN HOMES.

I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM MR. LANDRY THIS MORNING SAYING THE SAME THING.

THEY SPOKE TO ANOTHER ENGINEERING FIRM, AND THEY'RE JUST NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE WATER FROM MR. SPINOSA PROPERTY.

UM, IT'S 1.6 ACRES.

THE WATER ALREADY COMES THROUGH ON THE HOME AT WHITE HAVEN.

NOW, UM, IT COMES ACROSS THE STREET.

WE SEE IT EVERY TIME IT RAINS.

WE HAVE OLDER PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARE EXPERIENCING FLOODING, NOT QUITE IN THEIR HOUSE, BUT ALMOST IN THEIR HOUSE.

AND WE JUST THINK WE JUST NEED THAT LITTLE BIT, ONE MORE INCH AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT IN OUR HOUSES.

SO TODAY WE JUST ASK YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER US.

WE'VE BEEN THERE 60 YEARS.

WE HAVEN'T CAUSED ANY TROUBLE.

WE REALLY DON'T DESERVE TO BE FLOODED.

APPRECIATE YOUR CONSENT.

THANK YOU, MS. LOBLAW, OPPOSE, BUT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK IS CAROL ANN BROWN IN FAVOR, BUT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BOTH JAMES BOOTY AND THEN IS MICKEY ROBERTSON HERE.

OH, THERE YOU GO.

HEY MAN, YOU PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO ME? GREAT JOB.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM ONE.

ANYONE ELSE HEAR WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM ONE? ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE NOW GOING TO COUNCIL MEMBERS AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE TO RECOGNIZE OUR FORMER COLLEAGUE, UH, REPRESENTED DISTRICT 10, MS. TARA WICKER.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS AFTERNOON.

SO NICE TO SEE YOU HERE TODAY, MS. WICK I'LL EXTEND THE INVITATION.

I HAVE EXTENDED TO OTHER FORMER COUNCIL MEMBERS.

YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO STAY TO THE END OF THE MEETING MORE THAN WELCOME.

UH, MR. SPINOSA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO A REBUTTAL? COME ON DOWN.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT.

I, I BELIEVE I WAS GOING TO TRY TO AVOID GIVING YOU AND I'M ALL TO SOMEBODY AT ALL.

LET ME TAKE ALL YOUR TIME.

YOU OWN THE CLOCK, MRS. MISSES.

THEY, UM, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION THAT CAME UP HERE.

UM, I WANT TO TRY TO CLARIFY SOME OF IT.

THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT A LOT SIZES, 55 BY ONE, 10 WAS THE APPROVED MINIMUM LOT SIZE.

AND, UH, OVER THE YEARS, BEING INVOLVED WITH ROSEANNE FOR 14, 15 YEARS, THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT WAS THAT HOUSES WOULD STACK UP BEHIND A ONE, LOTS, A HUNDRED FOOT, 81 LOTS YOU'D GET TWO AND THREE HOUSES.

AND ROSEANNE DID BACKING UP TO THEM.

THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT I'VE GOTTEN OVER THE YEARS.

IT'S ALSO THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT I HEARD FROM THESE PEOPLE.

SO WE CAME UP WITH AN IDEA.

THAT'S WHY, IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE THREE, WE WOULD TURN THE LOTS.

AND WHEN THEY'RE SIDE AND HE WAS INCORRECT STATING, AND BY THE WAY, THEY HAVE COPIES OF THIS MAP.

THEY WAS SAID THE LOSS WERE ONLY 55 FOOT DEEP.

THEY'RE NOT, THERE'S 70 FOOT DEEP.

WE'VE, WE'VE MET WITH ARCHITECTS.

AND WE'VE,

[00:15:01]

WE'VE MET WITH DESIGN TEAMS. YOU CAN GO TO SOUTHERN LIVING HOUSE PLANS AND PUT IN A LOT DEPTH, THE 40 FOOT THAT YOU CAN BUILD A HOUSE ON.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET 200 OF THEM JUST ON THAT ONE WEBSITE.

SO WE'RE CONFIDENT CAN BE DONE.

AND I ACTUALLY SPOKE TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, THE ARCHITECT ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS.

HE WAS COMFORTABLE THAT THAT WOULD WORK ALSO.

SO THE LOT SIZE IS, DO WORK, AND THIS WAS DONE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE.

SO I'M NOT DOING WHAT I CALL A RACK AND STACK DESIGN LIKE ROSEANNE HAS, THEY HAVE 77, 55 BY ONE, 10 OR ONE 20 LOTS GOING IN A ROW.

AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO AVOID, BUT I WANT TO STIPULATE HERE.

IF, IF THEY'RE OKAY WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO DO IT.

THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS I GOT BACK FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I'M HAPPY TO DO THE STANDARD RACK AND STACK LOTS 55 BY ONE 10 ACROSS THE PROPERTY LINE.

SO I'LL, I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THAT.

NOW, THE DRAINAGE ISSUES.

UM, AGAIN, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

I'VE NOT RECEIVED ONE PHONE CALL ABOUT DRAINAGE.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY FROM DPW IS HERE, THAT CAN ANSWER THAT.

BUT, UH, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ONE PHONE CALL AND SHE DID JUST MENTION THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY'RE HAVING NOW.

THEY'RE NOT COMING FROM ME.

THAT'S COMING FROM MR. ENGLISH AND MR. LANDRY.

IT'S NOT FROM ANYTHING I'M DOING.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

UM, WE HAVE ENABLED A NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE REQUIREMENT THAT WE'VE MET.

THE PLANNING STAFF UNDERSTANDS IT, AND THEY BELIEVE WE'VE MET IT.

AND SO WITHOUT A, I ASKED FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON AN ITEM? WE NOW GO TO COUNCIL MEMBERS, ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEMS, ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM? YEAH, WE DO.

WE HAVE SOME EMAILS, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UM, YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED EMAIL COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM.

THERE WERE 56 COMMENTS SUBMITTED 55 WERE OPPOSED.

ONE WAS IN FAVOR.

CAN YOU COME TO THE MIC PLEASE, SIR.

SO I'M JUST WANT TO, IF I'M UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING I HEARD, I JUST WANT TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT DEEPER.

INITIALLY THIS, THIS PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY MR. SPINOSA, THIS PARTICULAR, UH, APPLICATION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS JUST ON THE PIECE OF PROPERTY ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK THAT THAT HE OWNS.

YEAH, BUT I MEAN, ALL OF THE UNITS WERE OWNED BY HIM AT ONE TIME AND HE SOLD THEM OR, OH, YOU, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT.

YEAH.

I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT ON WHO OWNED IT WHEN, BUT LET ME, LET ME GO BACK TO WHAT WE DID.

AND I, SOMEBODY SAID IN AUGUST, WE APPROVED 55.

IS THAT TRUE? IN JULY AND AUGUST? THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND COUNCIL APPROVED AN INCREASE FROM 750 TO 805.

SO AN INCREASE OF 55.

SO WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THESE SIX THEY'RE IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

UM, HE'S CURRENTLY HAS ONE LOT THAT'S REQUIRED RIGHT NOW TO BE NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE.

THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES ANY PROPERTY THAT DIRECTLY ABUTS THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION TO BE A NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE LOT, WHICH HAS A SPECIFIC DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENT.

IT'S REQUIRED TO BE THE BIGGER SIZE, LOTS TO BE MORE COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENT WAS STATED EARLIER.

IT'S 55 BY ONE 10, UM, THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL ON THE INDIVIDUAL LOT LAYOUT ON HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE, UH, ORIENTED, UH, HOW THE STREET LAYOUT IS GOING TO BE.

THAT'S THAT'S ANOTHER STEP IN THE FUTURE RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE CONCEPT PLAN ON POTENTIALLY INCREASING FROM 8 0 5 TO 808 11.

NOW THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE, UH, SOMEONE SPOKE ABOUT WITH CHANGING THE ORDINANCE TONIGHT, OR THIS IS A REQUEST TO CHANGE IN THE ORDINANCE.

SO WHAT ORDINANCE ARE WE CHANGING? OKAY.

SO ANY ACTION BY THE COUNCIL TONIGHT, A COUNCIL ZONING, ALL THESE ITEMS WILL, WILL HAVE AN ORDINANCE REQUIRED, UM, THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE.

UM, THIS COUNCIL BACK IN AUGUST LAST YEAR CHANGED THAT, THAT ORDINANCE THAT WAS DISCUSSED, THAT THERE WERE CHANGES TO THAT ORDINANCE, UM, THAT, THAT DIFFERED FROM THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE.

ANYBODY GOT ANY QUESTIONS FOR RYAN BEFORE WE MAKE THEM COME BACK? ANYBODY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

TIMES TO GIVE THE DEVELOPER AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CONCESSIONS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, MS. ROBIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO HAS SPENT AN ABUNDANCE OF TIME ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.

I KNOW THAT WE HAVE HAD PERSONAL TIME FROM A LOT OF FOLKS THAT SPOKE TONIGHT THAT HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO TRYING TO MAKE CONCESSIONS WITH THE DEVELOPER.

I WILL ALSO SAY IT WAS STATED EARLIER THAT THIS ITEM WAS DEFERRED THREE TIMES, AND THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET ME TELL YOU WHY THAT THIS ITEM WAS DEFERRED MULTIPLE

[00:20:01]

WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST IS THAT THE CURRENT OWNERS OF SOME OF THE PROPERTY AND ROUSSANNE HAVE WORKED COLLABORATIVELY TO MAKE EFFORTS, TO MAKE CONCESSIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE BEEN INTERRUPTED, WHO HAVE HAD, UM, TRUCKS, CONSTRUCTION, TRUCKS, DRIVING ALL OVER THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY HAVE MADE SURE THAT THOSE NEIGHBORS ARE HAPPY.

THOSE TYPES OF NEGOTIATIONS HAVE GONE ON FOR FIVE MONTHS AT A TIME MEETING AFTER MEETING NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, MEETINGS AND MS GARCIA'S HOUSE, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS ACCOMMODATED.

THOSE THINGS HAVE IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, THERE HAVE BEEN DEFERRALS, BUT YET NONE OF THESE COLLABORATION'S HAVE HAPPENED IN GOOD FAITH.

I'VE RECEIVED MESSAGES FROM SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE TOLD ME THAT AGREEMENTS WERE MADE ONLY TO BE DISCUSSED, THAT THEY WERE LATER REJECTED OR CHANGED.

AND WHAT I SEE HERE IS, UM, WE DO HAVE PLANS.

WE DO HAVE A T AND D WE HAVE CONCEPT PLANS.

AND LIKE MR. HOLCOMB JUST SAID, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO REASON THAT IT HAS TO BE SUPER SPECIFIC TODAY.

THERE'S NO REASON THAT EVERY PLAN HAS TO BE OUTLINED TODAY.

HOWEVER, THE CONCEPT PLAN HAS SIGNIFICANT DESIGN CONTROLS, REGULATIONS, OR REQUIREMENTS IN BEDDED BECAUSE THE SOUTH SIDE CIVIC ASSOCIATION WANTED TO HAVE AS MUCH CONTROL AS THEY COULD POSSIBLY GET.

AND THE GUIDANCE THEY ASKED FOR IT, THERE'S NO RESTRICTION OR LIMITATION AS TO WHAT CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE CONCEPT PLAN.

SO AS A GOOD FAITH EFFORT, A DEVELOPER CAN LOAD UP THE CONCEPT PLAN WITH AS MANY RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS THAT HE OR SHE WISHES TO INCLUDE CERTAINTY TO THE ADJACENT NEIGHBOR.

IT'S REALLY A SMART THING TO DO IT.

WASN'T DON TONIGHT.

IT WASN'T DONE HERE AND IT WASN'T DONE AFTER MULTIPLE DEFERRAL.

SO FOR THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND WHAT WE DON'T HAVE BEFORE US AND WHAT WE COULDN'T GET AFTER MONTHS OF COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION, I'M GOING TO ASK THAT THIS BE THAT YOU SUPPORT ME IN OPPOSING THIS ITEM.

WE'LL MOVE ON NOW TO ITEM, TO PUT $5, ZERO FOR PELICAN LAKES, CONCEPT PLAN REVISION, EIGHT REVISED USES AND INCREASE MEDIUM DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND DECREASE OPEN SPACE ON PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH SIDE OF BURBANK DRIVE NORTH OF INNOVATION PARK FIVE COUNCIL DISTRICT THREE, GO, DAVE, IS THERE ANYONE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ITEM TWO, ANYONE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM TWO, WE NOT READY.

MOTION TO DENY.

THAT'S A MOTION, A MOTION TO DENY THE SECOND EMOTIONAL, PROBABLY MOVED AND SECONDED.

ANY OTHER PERSON WISHING TO SPEAK? IS THERE ANY OPPOSITION TO THE MOTION TO DENY? SHOW ME AS A, TO ONE, A BIT.

NOAH, THE OPPOSITION THAT ITEM HAS BEEN DENIED.

[2. 21-01530 PUD-5-04 Pelican Lakes, Concept Plan Revision 8]

I'LL MAKE YOU ROBERTSON.

UH, MR. ENGINEERING AND SURVEY AND 93 45 INTERLINE AVENUE.

WE DEPART THIS PROJECT IN DECEMBER, UH, BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORS HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT THEY HAD.

UH, SO THE DEVELOPER WENT OUT AND TOOK A LOOK AT THEIR DRAINAGE ISSUES.

THERE WERE SOME CLOGGED PIPES.

THERE WERE SOME BEAVERDAMS FEW THINGS THAT WERE CAUSING SOME ISSUES.

SO HE IS TAKING CARE OF THOSE ISSUES ON HIS OWN TIME, HIS OWN EFFORT TO, UH, SATISFY THE NEIGHBORS.

WE HAVE SPOKEN TO THEM AND THEY ARE SATISFIED THAT THEY ARE NOT HAVING FLOODING ISSUES ANYMORE AT THE ENTRANCE TO PELICAN LAKES.

UM, SO WE, SO WE, YOU KNOW, WORKED WITH THEM AS BEST WE COULD TO MAKE SURE WE TOOK CARE OF ALL THEIR CONCERNS WE ARE ASKING FOR IN GENERAL, A REDUCTION OF THE DENSITY WE HAD AT ONE POINT ON THIS PROJECT, WE HAD UP TO 840 UNITS.

WE HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE MULTIFAMILY AND WE NOW ONLY HAVE 717 UNITS ON THE PROJECT.

EVEN THOUGH WE ARE PICKING UP MORE LAND AREA, UH, WE ARE ALSO EXTENDING THE TRAILS TO ALL OF THE LAKES INSIDE OF THE PELICAN LAKES.

AND WE ARE ALSO MEETING ALL OF THE NEW CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE FLOOD ZONE.

AND SO WE ASKED FOR YOUR APPROVAL, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

DOWN TO ITEM THREE, WHICH REQUIRES EIGHT VOTES AS WELL.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM TWO? ANYONE ELSE HERE, COUNCIL MEMBERS, THIS ITEM WAS DENIED AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION SEVEN TO ONE.

NO I'M STAYING IN, UH, ON THIS COUNCILMAN, BUT DON'T YOU WANNA SPEAK WITH, IF I CAN GET THE OWNER TO COME BACK, I JUST WANT TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING.

MAYBE RYAN CAN TELL US WHAT THE CHANGE IS, WHAT THE, WHAT IS THE GIANT? SO THIS IS A SMALL PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT KNOWN AS A SPUD.

UH, IT WAS APPROVED WITH RESTAURANTS, SERVING ALCOHOL USES

[00:35:01]

AS ONE OF THE USES.

THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE FOOD PERCENTAGE REQUIREMENT IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER.

HE'S INTRODUCING BAR AND LOUNGE ALCOHOL ON PREMISE ZONING AS A PERMITTED USE AS PART OF THIS SMALL PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

SO IF THIS WERE TO BE APPROVED, UH, HE WOULD HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL USE.

SO HE WENT AND HAD A 50% FOOD CONSUMPTION AS A REQUIREMENT.

IT WOULD NOT BE A REQUIREMENT.

GOTCHA.

MO COUNSELOR MOKE QUESTION TO THE OWNER, WHAT I'M TO CARRY FORWARD WITH THE CHANGES THAT, UH, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE BIG THINGS, AND YOU'D BE OUT WITH THE BAD PRESS AND EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, PARKING ALONG THE STREET, UH, RUNNING DOWN THE WHOLE ROADWAY THAT SOMEBODY EITHER GOT HIT OR SOMETHING OR WHATEVER, ANY CHANGES TO ADAPT TO THAT AS FAR AS PARKING OR ADDITIONAL OR, UH, THOSE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES.

COULD YOU TELL ME ANY THINGS LIKE THAT? SO, UM, SO A LOT OF THE LARGER PRIVATE EVENTS THAT WERE HELD THERE, UM, THAT CAUSED THE, THE TRAFFICKING ISSUES, UH, ARE NO LONGER GOING TO BE HELD.

UM, WE, WE HAVE ALREADY DOUBLED THE FRONT LOCK IN FRONT OF OUR, UH, IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDING THAT IS NOW BUILDS UP TO 300 EXTRA CARS.

UM, THAT'S BEEN DONE SINCE WE EXPANDED IT ONCE AND NOW WE'VE GONE IN PRICED OUT AND LOOKED AT EXPANDING THE ENTIRE LOT, WHICH IS TWO ACRES.

UM, BUT WE'RE HOLDING OFF ON ACTUALLY DOING THAT BECAUSE WHAT OUR REQUIREMENTS ARE WILL NEVER EXCEED WHAT WE HAVE THERE NOW.

UH, WE DON'T EVER PLAN TO HAVE OVERFLOW BACK ONTO BURBANK.

SOME OF THE EVENTS, UH, AND PROMOTERS THAT WE HAD ON SITE PROBABLY DID TOO GOOD OF A JOB AT TIMES.

AND PEOPLE, UH, PEOPLE JUST OVERFLOWED TO OUR VENUE THAT WEREN'T NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, THE, WE COULDN'T CONTROL THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.

LIKE WE, WE, WE HAD NO IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY COVERING SOME OF THE DAYS.

SO THE REZONING DEBRA QUESTION THAT, THAT WAS JUST BROUGHT INTO QUESTION WAS, I MEAN, WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO A HIGHER ZONING AS FAR AS ALLOWING MORE IS WHAT YOU JUST SAID, RIGHT? INTRODUCING A NEW USE THAT WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

SO INTRODUCING CAV TO USES ON THIS PROPERTY, UM, THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO ADDED APPROXIMATELY 144 ADDITIONAL PARKING SPOTS THAT WERE NOT ON THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SPLIT PLAN IN AN EFFORT TO, UH, ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE PARKING CONCERNS.

SO HE HAS, UH, HE HAS DONE THAT.

THAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, IN ADDITION TO THE CAV.

SO DOES THE REZONING, WOULD THE REZONING KEEP FROM WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE WITH THE PARKING DOWN THE STREETS, OR LET'S SAY THEY DECIDED TO GO BACK TO HAVING EVENTS.

I'M NOT SAYING BEAT SPECIFICALLY, Y'ALL YOU SELL THE PLACE OR SOMETHING, AND IT'S ALREADY, ONCE IT'S ZONED, IT'S ZONED.

UM, AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN BUSINESS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH, I'VE ATE THERE BEFORE, BUT IF SOMEBODY ELSE COMES IN AND THEY DECIDED TO GO BACK TO THESE EVENTS AND EVERYTHING, THOSE WOULD STILL BE ON THE ADMISSIBLE.

I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE SPECIFIC EVENTS.

UM, YOU KNOW, THIS USE IS BEING ADDED AND BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, CAV TWO USES, UM, AND ESSENTIALLY THE, THE PERCENTAGES OF FOOD SALES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY ON THE EXISTING SPOT, UM, THOSE WOULD BE PULLED BACK IF THIS WORD WERE TO BE APPROVED.

AND I APPRECIATE THE CLARIFICATION.

I'LL JUST, IT, I MEAN, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO SPEAK.

IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT GOING BACK TO, AND I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING Y'ALL HAVE DONE AS FAR AS TRYING TO CONTAIN IT AND SO ON AND THE ADDITIONAL PARKING SQUATS, BUT IT IS A BIG CONCERN THAT DOWN THE ROAD OR SOMETHING WITH THE EXTRA USE OR, OR SO ON THAT WE COULD GO BACK TO THAT TYPE OF SITUATION.

AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE PRETTY DANGEROUS FOR THAT AREA.

MY NAME IS CHRISTIAN HAINE.

I'M ONE OF THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY AND, UH, UH, JUST A FEW THINGS OUT THERE.

W W WE'VE BEEN RUNNING EVENTS THERE SINCE WE OPENED IN 2019, AND REALLY NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM, EXCEPT FOR THESE SPECIFIC EVENTS THAT WE'RE RUNNING.

WE HAVE EVENTS, WE'VE BEEN RUNNING EVENTS SINCE WE OPENED, WE RAN EVENTS AFTER WE CANCELED THESE.

WE'VE NEVER HAD A PARKING ISSUE EXCEPT FOR THESE SPECIFIC EVENTS.

SO IF SOMEBODY WAS TO COME BACK AND RUN THIS SPECIFIC EVENT THAT COULD HAPPEN, THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THEY'D BE OUT OF BUSINESS.

AND I MEAN, IT WAS CANCELED BECAUSE IT WAS BAD FOR BUSINESS.

IT'S NOT A GOOD EVENT TO HAVE FOR ANYBODY, ESPECIALLY US.

AND THIS SPECIFIC EVENT WAS THE ONLY EVENT THAT EVER CAUSED THE PARKING ISSUE THERE.

THE ONLY ONE,

[00:40:01]

AND THE REASON WE ARE GOING, WE'RE ADDING THIS USE, NOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO RUN A BAR.

UH, THE OASIS HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A RESTAURANT.

IT SAID ENTERTAINMENT VENUE, BUT WE'RE REQUIRED TO OPERATE UNDER THE RESTAURANT CAV ONE QUOTAS.

AND WE'VE ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH MEETING THOSE PERCENTAGES BECAUSE WE'RE NOT JUST THE RESTAURANT.

UH, WE HAVE LIVE MUSIC, WE HAVE VOLLEYBALL, WE HAVE CORNHOLE EVENTS AND STUFF.

SO PEOPLE COME SOMETIMES JUST TO DRINK BEER AND PLAY VOLLEYBALL OR ANY, EXCUSE OUR NUMBERS.

THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS IS SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO OPERATE AND NOT BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE WE DON'T MEET THOSE NUMBERS BECAUSE WE DON'T OPERATE JUST AS A RESTAURANT.

WE'RE MORE OF AN ENTERTAINMENT VENUE, AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WE'RE DOING THIS.

OTHERWISE WE WOULDN'T EVEN WASTE OUR TIME DOING IT.

AND BE HONEST WITH YOU.

THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR.

COUNCIL MEMBER BANKS, TURN YOUR MIC ON PLEASE.

MA'AM UH, ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN, I JUST HAD A QUESTION.

UM, I BEEN TO YOUR ESTABLISHMENT ONCE AND I HAD A BALL.

I'M NOT GOING TO SAY WHO ALL ELSE WAS THERE, BUT JUST KNOW WE HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME.

UM, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

SO, AND I THOUGHT AT THAT TIME THAT I WAS AT A SPORTS BAR.

SO THE, AT THE TIME IT WASN'T A SPORTS BAR.

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE RENTED IS THAT NO, THAT'S IT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU.

WE'RE NOT JUST THE RESTAURANT, WE'RE ALSO AN EVENT FACILITY.

YOU CAN RENT THE PATIO, UH, THE FRONT PART.

SO THE FRONT PART, IT APPEARED TO BE A RESTAURANT, BUT, AND THIS WASN'T THE I HEAVILY ATTENDED EVENT.

AND THEN THE BACK PART, THEY HAD, LIKE, I FIGURED THAT WAS THE SPORTS BAR AND THEN THEY HAD THE PATIO.

SO WHAT'S THE, JUST THE FRONT RESTAURANT, REALLY A RESTAURANT NORMALLY.

AND THIS WAS, WE OPERATE AS A RESTAURANT UNLESS THERE'S A SPECIAL EVENT THERE.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, PEOPLE CAN COME TO THE RESTAURANT, BUT THEY CHOOSE TO SIT ON THE PATIO BECAUSE THAT'S THE FOCAL POINT WITH THE BIG SCREEN TVS AND THE DOORS OPEN AND PEOPLE PLAYING VOLLEYBALL.

IT'S JUST THE ATMOSPHERE.

IT'S MORE TRYING TO BRING YOU OUT OF BATON ROUGE AND BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THAT'S WHAT WE TRIED TO DO OVER THERE.

SO IT OPERATES AS A RESTAURANT NORMALLY, BUT THE THING IS, WE ALSO HAVE PRIVATE EVENTS THERE.

WE HAVE SPECIAL EVENTS THERE.

WE DO HAVE L YOU KNOW, LIKE GAME WATCHING LSU EVENTS.

AND, UH, BUT IT'S BASIC OPERATION.

WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS OPERATE AS A RESTAURANT.

SO EXACTLY.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS? WELL, WE OPENED, I THINK WHAT THREE O'CLOCK, FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO IT'S LIKE HAPPY HOUR, BUT, BUT YOU ALL WILL HAVE, YOU CAN ALSO ORDER FOOD, BUT IT'S NOT, THIS WILL KEEP IT NOT BEING A MANDATE.

UM, OKAY.

AND IS IT MONDAY THROUGH SEVEN DAYS A WEEK? OKAY.

I'M CLEAR, BUT IF YOU'RE RENTING IT, HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO IT? AGAIN, IT DEPENDS.

IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO HOLD PATIO WHO ARE THE FIVE, SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST WANT A PART OF THE BAGS ONLY HAVE 50 PEOPLE.

SO WE JUST LET THE GENERAL PUBLIC COME IN AND WE JUST RESERVE THEM SOME SEATING THERE, BUT WE TRY TO OPERATE AS A RESTAURANT WITH A VOLLEYBALL FACILITY NEXT TO IT.

BUT AGAIN, WE ALSO AN EVENT CATERING.

WE DO A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING, AND THAT'S BEEN THE ISSUE WITH THE SKEW NUMBERS OF FOOD TO ALCOHOL.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE SEX MOROCCO.

SO AS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN MISTAKEN AS YOUR COUNCIL PERSON AND RECEIVED, RECEIVED THE COMPLAINTS WITH REGARDS TO TRAFFIC ON BURBANK, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CLEANING THAT UP.

ALSO A PATRON, UM, YOUR PARKING PAD WITH THE GRAVEL THAT YOU GUYS PUT OUT THERE HAS BEEN A SUBSTANTIAL BENEFIT.

SO I HAVE NOTICED THAT.

AND FOR ANYONE THAT HASN'T PASSED BY TO SEE THAT THAT HAS CLEARED UP TRAFFIC ISSUES AS WELL.

UM, ALSO WITH REGARD TO YOUR PROPERTY, I ATTENDED A CHARITY EVENT THERE.

AND AS COUNSEL, ONE BANK SAID, I HAD THE BEST DAY.

SO, UM, BUT JUST FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS TO KNOW THAT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO OUT AND ENJOY THEIR FACILITY, THEY DO RUN VOLLEYBALL NETS.

UM, WE ACTUALLY HAD A DODGE BALL, UH, EVENT THERE THAT WAS QUITE FUN, BUT WHY I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW YOU GUYS WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN, UM, PROFIT COMING IN WHEN YOU JUST HAD RANDOM PEOPLE PLAYING VOLLEYBALL.

SO I DO UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCEPT AND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO DO.

AND I COMMEND YOU ON THAT, AND I HOPE YOU ALL THE SUCCESS, WE NEEDED.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN BATON ROUGE, EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT YOUR PERSON.

WELL, WE APPRECIATE YOU WANTING TO TELL YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
