Feb 21, 2022 Planning Commission

I'M SORRY, COMMISSION MEMBERS.

THANK YOU, MR. MORIN.

WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA.

I APOLOGIZE.

SO YOU'VE NOW HEARD ALL THE ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, UH, WITH ANY OBJECTIONS TO ANY OF THE ITEMS THAT HAD BEEN PLACED ON CONSENT? ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WISH TO PULL UP AN ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA TO BE HEARD OF THEM ON THE REGULAR AGENDA? SEEING NONE? IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THESE ITEMS? MOST ARE FROM COMMISSIONER STERLING SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER HILL.

ARE THEY ANY OBJECTIONS TO APPROVING THOSE ITEMS SAYING NONE OF THOSE ITEMS HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

[Items 2 & 3]

WE NOW MOVE ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA, MR. CHAIRMAN, THEN THE NEXT TWO ITEMS MAY BE TAKEN TOGETHER.

ITEM TWO AND THREE.

UM, FOR THE MOST PART, UH, OLD, UM, MULTI-FAMILY OLD COMMERCIAL, UM, AND THEY ARE NOT LESS THAN I'M SURE WHAT THEY ARE NOT LESS THAN SIX CONVENIENCE, UH, CORNER STORES.

AT THIS TIME COMMISSION MEMBERS, WE WERE HERE.

I HAD A NUMBER TWO PLAN AMENDMENT 4 22, AN ITEM NUMBER THREE, CASE 6 22 17 25 NORTH SHERWOOD FOREST DRIVE E 4 22 17 25 NORTH CHAIR WITH FOREST DRIVE RELATED TO CASE 6 22 DOC.

JIM PROPERTY IS LOCATED WEST OF NORTH SHERWOOD FOREST DRIVE, NORTH OF RED OAK DRIVE, CONSTANT DISTRICT SIX DON'T USE AFRICANIST, ARCHIE JONES.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSED THE COMPREHENSIVE USE PLAN AMENDMENT FROM RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TO COMMERCIAL 6 22 PROPOSED TO RESOLVE FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, A ONE TWO LIGHT COMMERCIAL LLC.

ONE PROPOSED USE RETAIL SALES EA 4 22 17 25 NORTH CHERRY WOOD FOREST DRIVE RELATED TO CASE 6 22 STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE PLAN AMENDMENT.

BASED UPON THE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD APPEARING APPROPRIATE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE AREA.

STAFF ALSO CANNOT CERTIFY THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR A CHANGE OF ZONING BROAD CONFIRMS TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING CHARACTER OR USAGE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

MR. CHAIRMAN, WE'VE RECEIVED ONE OF OPPOSITION AND A LETTER FROM FOREST OAK WINTER PLACE, CIVIC ASSOCIATION IN OPPOSITION.

THANK YOU, MR. MORAN.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK FOR A PERIOD.

AND I THINK SEE, 15 MINUTES MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

MY NAME IS ARCHIE JONES AND I'M THE APPLICANT DEVELOPER OF, OF, UH, 1725, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, UM, IN THE WAY OF REFERENCE THIS PARTICULAR SITE LAST BETWEEN ON NORTH SHORE WITH FOREST BOULEVARD AND LAST BETWEEN FLORIDA BOULEVARD AND CHOCTAW ON THE WEST SIDE OF, UM, OF, UM, OF MORE SHERWOOD, UM, THE, THIS AREA, THIS STRETCH OF LAND BETWEEN, UH, UH, FLORIDA AND CHOCTAW, UH, THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT FACE SHERWOOD, UH, ON BOTH SIDES.

THE AREA IS,

[00:10:01]

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO, UM, THE MAP THAT, UH, IS ATTACHED TO A FOUR DASH 22, THE LOT ADJACENT TO THE, OF JASON 2 17 25, WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED, IS HIS OWN, UM, LLC.

IT WAS HIS OWN LLC.

ONE IN, UH, 2012.

UH, THE INTENDED USE, THE INTENDED USE OF THAT LIGHT IN CONNECTION WITH 1725 WOULD BE TO COMBINE THE TWO AND BILL AN EIGHT TO 10,000 SQUARE FEET, RETAIL, RETAIL SPACE.

ALSO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO, UM, I'M GONNA CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO, UM, UH, TO THE CORNER OF TOWNS ON THE MAP.

TAMS AND SHERWOOD IS, WHICH IS INDICATED AS A NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE IN AUGUST OF 2017.

UH, THE, UM, PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDED THAT THAT BE B ZONE TWO COMMERCIAL.

I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS THE AFRICA AND A COMPROMISE, IT WAS, UM, UH, SCALED DOWN TO NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE, UH, AS A RESULT, UM, BECAUSE OF, CAUSE IT WAS SCALED DOWN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE, MY INVESTORS WOULD DO THAT SUPPORT AND IT'S BACK TO WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY OVERGROWN AND, UM, UH, A REAL, REAL EYESORE.

I RECOGNIZE THAT THE STAFF, I APPRECIATE THAT EFFORT, BUT I WANT TO CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT SINCE 1992, I'VE WORKED IN THIS AREA, UH, AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN THAT AREA SINCE 1990 TO SAVE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A, A CHARTER SCHOOL.

UH, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, UM, UM, UH, BE HERE THIS AFTERNOON AND, UH, I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.

AND I'D LIKE TO CLOSE BY SAYING THAT, UM, I, AS I LOOKED ON THE WALL BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, IT SAYS THAT WE ARE A WHAT WORK CITY, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN THAT COURTROOM.

I ASSURE YOU FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER COURT IS FOR LEO MARSHAWN.

I'M NOT SURE IF I FILLED OUT THE RIGHT ONE.

I WANTED TO TALK ON THE BRUBAKER'S PROPERTY.

NO, THAT'S ANOTHER, THAT'S ANOTHER CASE.

GOT ME TO FILL OUT ANOTHER CARD.

WE'LL HOLD IT FOR THAT.

WE'LL REPURPOSE IT.

I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONERS.

UH, ONLY OTHER SPEAKER COURT IS FOR PATRICE THOMAS.

YOU HAVE THE FLOOR GETTING ON COUNCIL.

UM, PLEASE, UM, ALLOW ME TO SPEAK, I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF FOREST OLD WINDSOR PLACE, CIVIC ASSOCIATION.

I AM PATRICE THOMAS.

I AM A MEMBER OF THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.

I EVEN EMAILED A LETTER FROM THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION TO EACH OF THE COMMISSIONERS SAYING THAT WE ARE OPPOSED TO ITEMS WANTING TO ON THE AGENDA TO REZONE.

UM, I STATED THAT THE SIGN HAD THE PROPERTY HAD NO SIGNS ON IT AS OF TODAY.

SO I SAID BIG ASSOCIATION WAS UNAWARE OF THE REZONING REQUESTS UNTIL TODAY.

AND THAT'S WHY WE EMAILED HER EARLY AROUND 2:30 PM TODAY.

UM, ALSO WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE REZONING REQUESTS.

THERE WAS REALLY NOT MUCH INFORMATION OF WHAT WAS PLAYING ON THE PROPERTY AND WE ARE STILL CONCERNED ABOUT LIQUOR STORES AND OTHER UNSEEMINGLY BUSINESSES AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND LASTLY, THE APPLICANT, UM, THE REZONING REQUESTS, THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION HAS NUMEROUS RUN ADS WITH HIM, WITH OUR MEMBERS.

[00:15:01]

UM, HE HASN'T REALLY BEEN A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND HE HAS BLIGHTED PROPERTY IN THE AREA.

SO THOSE ARE THE THREE CONCERNS FOR THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.

I AM OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR A FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL WHILE I SHARE WHY I SHARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS AND SENTIMENTS OF, OF, OF THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION.

I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT.

UM, THIS AREA HAS SEEN, IT'S BEEN STALLED FOR ANY KIND OF GOOD DEVELOPMENT.

AS I TALKED TO PEOPLE WHO RUN BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES IN THE AREA, SHOPS, SMALLER SHOPS ARE THE KIND THAT WE WOULD BE RENTING TO.

THERE IS BEEN NO CONSTRUCTION WITHIN THE LAST 30 YEARS OF COMMERCIAL SPACE IN THAT AREA.

UM, IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

UM, WE HAVE WORKED IN THAT AREA TO AND IN, TO REDEVELOP HOUSING THROUGHOUT THAT COURTROOM.

I I'M IN THAT QUADRANT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN THAT AREA, SO WE KNOW THAT AREA VERY, VERY WELL.

AND SO, UH, I APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE, UM, UH, SERVICE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGE REQUIRES SOMETIMES PROGRESS WITH CLASS CHANGE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION COMMISSIONER BANKS.

I'M, I'M BASICALLY TRYING TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF, UM, THE REASON WHY THE STAFF DID NOT THINK THAT, THAT THIS WAS A FOOD SHOULD BE APPROVED.

UM, CAUSE I'M TRYING, I SEE IF I, IF I'M READING THE, THE MAP CORRECTLY, IS IT WHERE THE RED IS? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD PUT THAT ON.

RED IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

IT IS TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT OF IT TO THE LEFT OF IT ON THE MAP WAS A, A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REZONED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND COUNCIL BACK IN 2012 FOR LIFE.

AND THAT'S WHAT HE'S ASKING FOR AS WELL.

THAT'S CORRECT.

AND WHAT ABOUT TOO? IN THE ONE-ON-ONE DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH LOB? ONE-ON-ONE IS ZONED A ONE SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL RESIDENT THERE THERE'S CURRENTLY A STRUCTURED, IS IT OCCUPIED? WHAT DO YOU KNOW MA'AM BUT ONE-ON-ONE YOU, YOU, HAVE YOU SEEN THE MAP? YES.

I'VE SEEN THE MAP IN THE HOUSE IS OCCUPIED AND THEY DO HAVE TENANTS OR IS IT A MULTI FAMILY NOW IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

OH, IT'S A RENTAL PROBABLY TENDONS.

THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING.

YES, I DO BELIEVE IT'S THE, OKAY, SO HOW ABOUT 1 0 2 THROUGH 1 0 6? DO YOU KNOW THERE ABOUT 1, 2, 3, 4.

IF MY RECOLLECTION SERVES ME, RIGHT.

I I'LL TAKE A HUNDRED PERCENT THERE.

THERE ARE TWO THERE'S ONE HOUSE ON EACH SIDE OF HIM.

I KNOW THERE WAS A VACANT LOT.

THERE'S BLACK COMMERCIAL, BUT THERE THERE'S ACTUALLY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WHERE PEOPLE LIVE.

SO IT WOULD BE KIND OF AWKWARD IF YOU HAVE A BUSINESS RIGHT NEXT TO TWO OR THREE HOUSES, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S CALLED MIXED DEVELOPMENT.

SO IT'S NOT VERY UNCOMMON, BUT IT IS THIS A, UNLESS IT ON A THOROUGHFARE OF A, UM, SUBDIVISION, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ON NOT SHERWOOD, WHICH, UM, FOR THE MOST PART IS RETAIL, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S HOMES.

YEAH, IT IS.

I KNOW, BUT I'M JUST SAYING, UM, BUT THE THIRD, THE, WHAT THE, WHAT WOULD THE ADDRESS BE LIKE? IT WAS 1745.

I'M NOT NORTH FALSTER.

WOULD IT BE A NORTH FOSTER ADDRESS? I MEAN NORTH SHORE.

[00:20:01]

YEAH.

AND DOES DEVIN THE OTHER ONE? UH, OH, WELL THE ONE IS TO CHANGE A MAN THE LAND USE AND THE OTHER IS TO CHANGE THOSE OUT AND THE PROPERTY THAT IS, I GUESS THAT WOULD BE 99 99 MAYBE.

YEAH.

BLACK 99.

THEY HAVE ALL IT HAS ALREADY, UM, THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE HAS ALREADY BEEN AMENDED.

IS THAT CORRECT? AND DOES THAT ONLY WAS ALSO CHANGED IN 2020 ZONING WAS CHANGED IN 2012? THE LAND USE, THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE WAS NEVER CHANGED.

SO WAS IT, IS IT STILL RESIDENTIAL, BUT THE PROPERTY THAT'S ZONED LC ONE IT'S IT'S DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE UPDATED ON THE NEXT UPDATE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

UM, MR. MR. APPLICANT, YOU SO FAR TO THE BED AND COMMISSIONER BANKS, YOU ASKED ABOUT LA 1 0 3 AND 1 0 4.

OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT THAT PROPERTY, UM, HAS BEEN USED AS AN OFFICE IN THE PAST OFFICES.

SO AGAIN, MIXED DEVELOPMENT.

I HONESTLY DON'T, UM, SEE WHERE THIS IS A PROBLEM.

I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY THE STAFF DID NOT FIND THIS AS BEING, UM, AS FOR PROVING IT, UH, IT IS VERY MUCH TRUE THAT THAT END OF NORTH WOOD, UM, HAS NOT HAD THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO BE DEVELOPED.

HAVE YOU SPOKE WITH THE NEIGHBORS OR DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SHOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO? I HAVE NOT.

I HAVE NOT.

UM, LIKE I SAID, I, I DRIVE THIS AREA I'M IN THIS AREA EVERY DAY, UM, BETWEEN, BETWEEN FLORIDA AND CHOP TALL ON THE WEST, ON I'M FAMILIAR WITH, I WORKED AT BELLAIRE HIGH SCHOOL A NUMBER OF YEARS.

SO I AM FAMILIAR WITH THIS, BUT WHAT I ASKED YOU WAS WHETHER OR NOT, UM, YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO SHOW THE RESIDENT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU PLANNING, WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING TO HAVE YOU MOVED FORWARD IN ANY WAY TO DETERMINE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

I HAVE, I HAVE HAD, UM, UH, SURVEYS DONE.

I HAVE HAD PRELIMINARY PLANS DONE.

UH I'M NOW IN THE MIDST OF ASSESSING, UM, THE FEASIBILITY FROM A CORE SAMPLE POINT BECAUSE OF SUPPLY CHAIN AND INTEREST RATES AND ALL THOSE THINGS.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE IN THE, WE'RE IN THE PLANNING STAGES.

BECAUSE WHAT, UM, PRIMARILY WHAT THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IS, UM, NOT HAVING ANYTHING THAT WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE AREA.

AND SO I, THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING YOU, I, I, I, WHAT I'M NOT TRYING TO HAVE YOU MAKE ANY COMMITMENTS NOW.

UM, BECAUSE I MEAN, I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAS HAPPENED IN MY AREA.

SO I AM, FOR PARTICULAR, I'M ALWAYS LEANING TOWARDS, UH, RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS JUST ASKING.

UM, I THINK IT WOULD REASSURE THE NEIGHBORS IF ALONG THE WAY, IF THIS IS APPROVED, THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU WERE IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION AND TRY TO MEET WITH THEM, UM, I'M VERY HAPPY TO DO THAT.

BUT, BUT IF I MIGHT, THERE ARE NOT LESS THAN SEVEN CONVENIENCE STORES, BUT THEY WERE ALREADY ZONED THAT.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND THEY DON'T WANT ANYMORE.

DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT WOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD BE DOING? I AGREE WITH THAT, BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP THEM FROM SHOWING UP.

SO WHAT I'M ASKING THAT IS THAT IS ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT THIS PARTICULAR AREA AND EVEN AREAS IN MY COMMUNITY HAVE.

SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T, THAT YOU DON'T PLAN TO? IS THAT A MARKET? YOU JUST IT'S A YES OR NO.

IS THAT A MARKET YOU DON'T PLAN TO ENTER? AND THAT IS A MARKET? I DO NOT PLAN TO, I PLAN TO, UH, ENTERTAIN.

WHERE YOU HAVE RESIDENTS, YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL BUILDERS, YOU HAVE REAL ESTATE, YOU HAVE OFFICE BUILDINGS.

THAT'S WHY I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE BOTH TO WIN THREE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE TO DO ONE AT A TIME, BUT I HAVEN'T FOUND, UH, I DON'T SEE WHERE THIS IS.

UM, ANYTHING THAT WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE HOMEOWNERS.

IT IS ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE WHERE YOU HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW,

[00:25:01]

AND IT IS TRUE THAT THAT PARTICULAR AREA HAS NOT, UM, HAD A LOT OF RE-INVESTMENT.

AND I THINK THAT, UM, THE ONLY WAY TO START, UM, AND FOR PEOPLE TO BEGIN TO APPRECIATE THOSE THINGS IS TO, TO BEGIN DOING STUFF THAT OTHERWISE WE COULD, WE COULD GROW GROWTH IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SHOULD STOP.

GROWTH IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SHOULD PLAN.

AND I AM SPEAKING TO, TO THE HOMEOWNERS, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF TIMES YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE HAVING TO COME, BUT I DO THINK THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO PLAN AND, UM, LOOK AT THE, THE LANDSCAPE AND, AND WHAT KIND OF APPLICANTS AND BE A PART OF THAT PROCESS, BECAUSE IF YOU RESIST IN IT, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ANOTHER PLAN, THEN THAT IS WHAT ALLOWS YOUR BUILDING NOT TO HAVE ANY PROGRESS.

AND IT IS JUST, IT BECOMES A DESERT.

SO FOR ME, UM, AND, AND WE DO TAKE THINGS INDIVIDUALLY HERE.

SO JUST BECAUSE THIS IS APPROVED, DOESN'T MEAN, UH, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE LAST ITEM YOU ALL HAD WAS APPROVED, BUT YOU DO HAVE TO GET TO THE PLACE.

AND I'VE HAD TO LEARN THIS WHERE YOU WORK MORE WITH DEVELOPERS AND YOU COME UP WITH WHAT IT IS THAT YOUR, LIKE YOUR COMMUNITY LOOK LIKE.

SO I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

THERE WAS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM COMMISSIONER BANKS TO APPROVE THESE ITEMS. BEFORE I ASKED FOR A SECOND, I BELIEVE THE VICE CHAIRMAN HAS A COMMENT OR QUESTION THAT HE HAS CERTAINLY, UM, IN YOUR, IN THE APPLICANT, IT SAYS YOUR PROPOSED USE IS RETAIL SALES, AND YOU JUST USED THE WORD ENTERTAINMENT.

THOSE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

RETAIL.

YOU, YOU HAVE IN YOUR PROPOSED TO USE IN YOUR APPLICATION.

IT SAYS RETAIL SALES.

YES, SIR.

AND YOU JUST USED THE WORD ENTERTAINMENT.

SO TWO VERY DIFFERENT ENTERTAINMENT.

YES, SIR.

DID I SAY ENTERTAINMENT? I DIDN'T.

I DID.

I'M SORRY, SIR.

BUT IF I DID THAT, I SAID NOTHING ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT.

I, HE SAID HE WAS NOT GOING TO ENTERTAIN A ENTERTAIN.

I WOULD ENTERTAIN MEETING WITH.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE CLEAR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE CLARIFICATION COMMISSIONER HAWTHORNE.

MR. JONES.

SO BACK IN 2012, HE CAME BEFORE THE CHAIRMAN MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

EITHER GOT TO CALL FOR A VOTE ON A CALL FOR A SECOND TO ABSOLUTELY.

THANKS FOR PERMISSION TO ADD.

THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM COMMISSIONER BANKS TO APPROVE, APPROVE THESE TWO ITEMS. ARE THERE ANY, IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION SEEING NONE THAT MOTION DIES FOR NOW? NO.

OH, YOU SECONDED.

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.

COMMISSIONER ADDISON.

UH, THERE'S A SECOND, UH, FOR COMMISSIONER ADDISON, UH, 80 OBJECTIONS AT THIS TIME, UH, THERE ARE THREE OBJECTIONS FROM VICE CHAIRMAN GROWL, COMMISSIONER HAWTHORNE AND COMMISSIONER HILL, BUT I BELIEVE THEY EACH WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT.

OR DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT TO MAKE COMMISSION OF THEM? YEAH.

MR. JONES.

SO IN 2012, HE CAME BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO HAVE THE PROPERTY THAT IS OWNED RIGHT NOW.

CORRECT? YES MA'AM.

AND AT THAT TIME YOU WERE COMING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO HAVE HIS OWN FOR THAT FOR RETAIL SALES OR ALCOHOL? NO ALCOHOL.

SO THE, AND THEN YOU WENT AND PURCHASED THE LOT NEXT TO IT.

AND THAT'S, THIS IS THE LIGHT THAT YOU'RE COMING BEFORE US WITH, CORRECT? YES MA'AM.

AND SO YOU'RE PLANNING ON USING BOTH OF THOSE LIVES.

YES MA'AM.

SO ARE YOU REBUILDING A BUILDING OR ARE YOU REFURBISHING? NO, MA'AM BOTH OF THOSE DOPE.

BOTH THOSE LATS CURRENTLY HAVE SMALL SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES ON DOWN.

THOSE WILL BE TORN DOWN.

AND A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED I'LL PUT PLAN IS TO MOVE THE CONSTRUCTED RETAIL SHOPPING STRIP CENTER MALL, HOWEVER IT'S DESCRIBED.

WHICH WILL, WHICH WOULD APPROXIMATE BASED UPON WHAT WE KNOW TODAY, ABOUT 8,000 SQUARE FEET INTENDED TO MARKET, TO BUSINESS OWNERS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUTIQUES AS AN EXAMPLE, UH, FOR RETAIL PURPOSES.

UM, I'M DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, UM, AN AGREEMENT WITH, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT.

[00:30:01]

AND I DO, I DO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO DO GREAT THINGS.

I DO BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE, UM, DEFINITELY VOICED TO US AS WELL, THEIR CONCERNS, UM, AS WELL WITH YOUR, YOU KNOW, YOUR OTHER PROPERTIES.

BUT THE CURRENT STATE OF THOSE TWO PROPERTIES ARE SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

NOW I WASN'T ON THE COMMISSION BACK IN 2012.

AND, YOU KNOW, FOR THE FACT THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS ALREADY, UM, DENIED THE APPLICATION, JUST BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT DOES NOT FIT WITHIN THE, UM, THE CHARACTER, BECAUSE THEY ARE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS CIVIC ASSOCIATION, UM, AT, FOR, UH, FOREST OAK IS REALLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR CHARACTER STAYS THE SAME.

UM, SO, BUT MY ADVICE WOULD BE FOR YOU MAYBE TO REALLY HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THEM AS, AS IT RELATES TO THAT, BUT THOSE ARE, BUT THERE'S HOMES BEHIND IT.

THERE'S HOME BEHIND THAT PROPERTY.

AND YOUR CURRENT STRUCTURE RIGHT NOW IS A HOME.

SO I'M WANT TO MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO DENY THE APP.

I MEAN, TO DENY THE APPLICATION, UM, AS IT RELATES TO MY COMMENTS AND WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN NOTED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THERE'S A SUBSTITUTE MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND FROM COMMISSIONER HEARTBURN TO DENY THESE ITEMS, THAT MOTION IS SECONDED BY VICE CHAIRMAN GROUT.

I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

ANY OBJECTIONS TO THE DENIAL OF DESIRE? ONE OBJECTION FROM COMMISSIONER BANKS WAS THAT ROLL CALL.

DO A ROLL CALL, VOTE ON THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO DENY CHAIRMAN WASHINGTON.

VICE CHAIRMAN GROUT.

COMMISSIONER ADDISON, COMMISSIONER BANKS.

NO.

MR. HAWTHORNE, MR. HILL.

COMMISSIONER STERLING, NO MOTION TO DENY.

RECEIVE FOUR VOTES.

THREE OPPOSED GOES AS A DENIAL.

I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE THAT, UH, OBSERVATION, UH, BOB, THIS ITEM IS DENIED BECAUSE IT DID RECEIVE, UH, VOTES AND SUPPORT, BUT IT WILL GO ON TO COUNCIL.

I WOULD DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE YOU TO MEET WITH YOUR COUNSELOR ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND THE ASSOCIATION TO HELP, HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO, BECAUSE I OBVIOUSLY I WOULD COMMEND ANY, ANY POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT, EVEN IF IT'S A CONVENTIONAL THOSE FOUR TO THREE TO DENY THAT'S CORRECT.

NO COMMISSIONER ADDISON COMMISSIONER BANKS.

NOW, OKAY.

WE'LL NOW DO A ROLL CALL ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

THE ORIGINAL MOTION WAS TO PASS IT.

VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION TO APPROVE CHAIRMAN WASHINGTON.

THAT'S GREAT.

VICE CHAIRMAN GROUND.

NO VOTES NOT GOES AS A DENIAL FOR LACK OF FIVE AFFIRMATIVE VOTES.

AS I WAS SAYING, I WAS ENCOURAGING YOU TO MEET WITH THE COUNCILMAN.

I HAD TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND THE ASSOCIATION TO HELP, HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO, BECAUSE IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE AREA, THEN HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY CAN COME TO, TO A LIKE-MIND ON IT.

AND BEFORE THE COUNCIL HEARS IT, AND I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE HEARD BY THE COUNCIL ON MARCH 16TH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

VICE CHAIRMAN GUARD WILL BE RECOUPED ACCUSING HIMSELF FROM THE NEXT TWO ITEMS THAT WILL

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU MOVE ONTO THE NEXT TWO ITEMS, WHICH CAN ALSO BE TAKEN TOGETHER ITEMS FOUR AND FIVE.

I'M JUST HERE TO, UH, REITERATE WHAT MY BOSS SAID.

SORRY.

UM, THAT THIS IS JUST A REZONE, THOSE THOUGHTS OR THE CURRENT USE OF THE EXISTING BUILDING, WHICH IS THE RESTAURANT PER BLOCKERS.

NOW LAST CARD IS FOR LEAH MORE SHAN.

NOW, IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME? THANK YOU.

UM, I WAS VERY RELIEVED TO FIND OUT THAT BRUBAKER'S IS COMING BACK.

I LIVE SEVEN HOUSES AWAY.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT Y'ALL PLAN TO KEEP THE SAME HOURS.

I KNOW YOU'RE JUST STILL A LOCATION CLOSES AT NINE, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS STILL THE PLAN.

UM, IF THERE WERE ANY PLANS FOR LIVE MUSIC, WITH THE POTENTIAL OF OUTDOOR SEATING THAT COULD HAVE LIVE MUSIC, UM, I KNOW THAT MY NEIGHBORS WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO COME AND SPEAK TO ANY OF THOSE IF THAT'S THE CASE.

UM, AND THEN ONE OF THE CURRENT CONCERNS THAT I HAVE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE NOT MISSED SINCE YOU'VE CLOSED ARE AFTER HOURS AFTER THEY SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN, A LOT OF THE WORKERS STAY AND THEY HANG OUT IN THE PARKING LOT LOUD MUSIC DRINKING, UM, AND YOU CAN HEAR THEM UP AND DOWN THE STREET, LIKE WHEN THEY LEAVE WITH THEIR LOUD MUSIC GOING DOWN THE STREETS AND IT'S INTIMIDATING TO HAVE TO WALK DOWN THE STREET AND ASK THEM TO, YOU KNOW, TURN THE MUSIC LOWER.

UH, BUT IT'S ALSO TAXING ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SO I HAVE TO CALL THEM AND GET THEM TO DO IT.

SO THAT IS ONE CONCERN THAT I HAD, BUT AGAIN, VERY EXCITED THAT Y'ALL ARE REMODELING AND STAYING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO THANK YOU.

AND AT THIS TIME I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR A FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL.

UM, SO EVERYTHING THAT WE PLAN TO DO IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT WE CURRENTLY WERE DOING, OUR, WHAT WE WERE DOING, UH, THE LATEST, UH, HOURS OR MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY CLOSING AT NINE, WE WERE CLOSED SUNDAY.

UM, WE ARE ENTERTAINING OPEN IN SUNDAY, BUT CLOSING AT NINE, WE HAVEN'T MADE THAT DECISION YET.

STAFFING HAS BEEN A SITUATION, SO WE NOT QUITE SURE IF WE'RE GOING TO OPEN SUNDAYS OR NOT.

AS FAR AS THE CONTROLLING THE EMPLOYEES, UM, WE, WE TRY TO KEEP THEM IN LINE AS MUCH AS WE CAN, BUT WHAT W WHAT THEY DO, YOU KNOW, EVERY MINUTE I CAN'T CONTROL THEM ON THE CITY STREET, BUT I CAN CERTAINLY TRY TO CONTROL THEM ON THE PROPERTY.

AND IF THEY'RE DOING THAT ON THE PROPERTY, WE CAN ADDRESS IT.

BUT NO LIVE MUSIC IS IT, THAT'S NOT IN OUR WHEELHOUSE.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO.

WE DON'T DO.

WE'RE ABOUT 7% ALCOHOL SALES CROSS THE BRAND.

SO WE'RE IN, WE'RE REALLY IN THE FOOD BUSINESS.

WE'RE NOT REALLY AN ALCOHOL BUSINESS OR LOUD MUSIC BUSINESS.

UM, SO I DON'T, I DON'T SEE THAT BEING AN ISSUE.

ITEM IS APPROVED THAT YOU WOULD, UH, MEET AND KIND OF TALK WITH HER ABOUT ANY OTHER CONCERNS.

AND I WOULD JUST ASK, UH, THIS

[00:50:01]

I THINK SHE MENTIONED SOME OF THE OTHER NEIGHBORS, MAYBE THEY HAD QUESTIONS.
