SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONLY THING I JUST WANNA SAY, YOU KNOW, AND YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S MY, I HAVE EIGHT MONTHS IN THE BUSINESS AND I SPENT LIKE ALMOST A HUNDRED THOUSAND IN THAT BUSINESS ALREADY.

AND YOU KNOW, I PUT ALL MY SAVINGS OVER THERE, YOU KNOW, I'M YOUNG GUY AND I'M COME WITH GOOD THINGS, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO DO RIGHT THINGS IN THE CITY, YOU KNOW, SO.

GOTCHA.

IT'S NOT MY FIRST BUSINESS.

MY NAME IS WILLIE SHELTON AND I'M THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

THEY HAVE PUT TONS OF MONEY INTO THIS PROPERTY.

UM, THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN REQUIRED OF THEM FOR THE COMMUNITY.

THEY'RE TRYING TO OPEN UP A SPOT SO THEY CAN HAVE, UM, COMMUNITY EVENTS AND, UM, SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY.

UM, HE'S PUT OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THIS TO GET THIS FAR AND TO BE, HAVE DONE EVERYTHING HE'S SUPPOSED TO.

I ASK THAT YOU GUYS GIVE HIM FAVOR AND THAT YOU LET HIM, YOU KNOW, GIVE HIM PERMISSION TO BE GO FORWARD AND GET HIS LIQUOR LICENSE, THEN WE CAN MOVE ON.

ANY OTHER PROPONENTS? ANY OPPONENTS? C AND NONE WILL CLO UH, I'M SORRY.

DID YOU WANNA HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REBUTTAL? YOU STILL HAVE THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO OPPONENTS? THAT'S OKAY.

WE'LL, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UM, COUNCIL MEMBERS, AM I, GO AHEAD.

AM I CORRECT? MM-HMM.

, AM I COR CORRECT THAT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MEMBERS PRESENT PAST THIS? THAT'S CORRECT.

SO I WANT THE APPLICANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY A MOTION TO DEFER IS WHAT WE'LL OFFER.

WOULD YOU MIND COMING UP SO I CAN ADDRESS? YEAH.

SO THE, THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF VOTES FOR THIS ITEM IS EIGHT.

ALRIGHT.

PRESENTLY, THERE ARE ONLY SEVEN MEMBERS HERE.

SO WE'RE GONNA, MY, MY RECOMMENDATION, MY, MY MOTION IS GONNA BE TO DEFER YOUR ITEM TO THE NEXT MEETING, WHICH WOULD BE 30 DAYS.

AND THAT IS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH VOTES PRESENT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT TO ACHIEVE THE NUMBER OF VOTES YOU'RE TRYING TO GET.

SO I DON'T WANT YOU TO VIEW THE DEFERRAL AS, AS ANYTHING AGAINST YOU PERSONALLY.

IT'S THE SIMPLE FACT OF NUMBERS.

YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I CAN, I I JUST, I LIKE, JUST, I CAN SAY JUST, YOU KNOW, I HAVE WITH THIS THING YOU, YOU REFERRED ME LIKE, UH, LIKE, UH, THREE TIMES ALREADY.

CORRECT.

I HAVE FIVE MONTHS.

I UNDERSTAND.

AND, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S, IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M, I'M NOT QUICK ANYWAYS.

BUT YOU KNOW, I'M BROKE NOW, NOW BECAUSE I'M MISTAKE.

I'M, I'M STILL PAID, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT NOTHING.

IT'S NOT OPEN.

I HAVE MY OLD SAVINGS OVER THERE, YOU KNOW, I HAVE KIDS TOO.

I HAVE, YOU KNOW, AND I UNDERSTAND IT IS VERY HARD FOR ME.

YOU KNOW, YOU REFER ME ANOTHER THURSDAY AFTER LIKE, UH, MORE THAN A HUNDRED DAYS BEFORE, YOU KNOW, SO IT USUAL, YOU KNOW, JUST UNDERSTOOD.

HELP ME WITH, WITH EVERYTHING IS GOOD, YOU KNOW, JUST, YEAH.

JUST DON'T WANNA OPEN MY BUSINESS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? PLEASE UNDERSTAND.

THE REASON FOR THE DEFERRAL IS THAT THERE'S SEVEN MEMBERS PRESENT AND YOU REQUIRE EIGHT VOTES IN FAVOR IF YOU WANTED THIS TO PASS.

SO YOU, NO OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, COUNCIL, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED 18 COMMENTS IN FAVOR OF THE ITEM AND TWO COMMENTS OPPOSED? UH, COUNCILMAN MO, I'M LOCKED OUT, SO THAT'S NORMAL.

SO, UM, CAN I HAVE ONE OF Y'ALL COME UP TO ANSWER SOME PROCESS QUESTIONS? YEAH, THE SPEAK, THE PRESSIVE SPEAK IS LOCKED THOUGH.

FOR HIM TO DO WORK PERMITS EVERYTHING? NO, NO, NO, NO.

COUNCILMAN MOOCH HAS THE FLOOR.

HMM.

I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP.

NO, I, I JUST, AND SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT HAVE TO ANSWER THIS AND I, I GUESS I'M, ONE GENTLEMAN TALKED ABOUT HOW MUCH HE'S PUT INTO IT.

HE'S TALKED ABOUT HOW MUCH HE'S PUT INTO IT AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THE D AS FAR AS EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR THIS LOCATION

[00:10:01]

SO THERE WAS UN MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE WAS UN PERMITTED WORK THAT OCCURRED AT THE DALLAS DRIVE LOCATION.

I DON'T KNOW WHO DID IT, BUT THERE WAS UNPERMITTED WORK.

OKAY, SIR, COULD YOU COME ON UP? I, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP.

UM, YOU'VE, AND, AND WHETHER THE LANDLORD'S THERE OR, OR NOT, IT WANTS TO COME UP ALSO, YOU TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU'VE PUT INTO THIS.

YOU TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH, UH, YOUR SAVINGS OR OR LOAN THAT YOU WENT AND GOT AND EVERYTHING ELSE, WHAT PERMITS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED TO DO ALL THIS WORK? 'CAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE READY TO OPEN.

NO, BUT YOU'RE JUST WAITING ON A LIQUOR LICENSE.

NO, THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.

'CAUSE THE IMPRESSION I'M GETTING FROM, FROM Y'ALL, ALRIGHT.

UH, IS THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE READY TO OPEN, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JUST WAITING ON A LIQUOR LICENSE.

UM, YEAH, I'M, YOU KNOW, THE THING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR TAKE EVERYTHING IS THE ZONING.

YOU KNOW, BECAUSE DON'T MATTER IF I HAVE, YOU KNOW, I'M MY APPLY MY APPLIES.

AND IT IS EVERY, IT IS EVERYTHING ALREADY.

LIKE A ANCY, THE, UH, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE FIRE, UH, MARSHAL TOO.

BUT, UH, LIKE, UH, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY SAY, I'M, I'M GONNA GO APPLY.

I'M GONNA GO INSPECT YOUR BUSINESS BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS DONE WHEN YOUR RATES ARE OPEN.

I CAN'T, I CAN'T APPLY TO A B SILICON LICENSE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE, UH, UH, SONY.

SO, OKAY.

I APOLOGIZE.

I APOLOGIZE ABOUT THAT.

I MEANT ZONING, UHHUH, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY DONE ALL THE WORK.

YOU'RE, YOU'RE READY TO GO, BUT YOU'RE WAITING ON THIS APPROVAL RIGHT HERE AND, AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE NOW, WHAT, WHAT STEP, WHAT PHASE ARE YOU AT IN THE BUILDING ITSELF AS FAR AS THE BUSINESS AND SO ON? LIKE, EXCUSE ME.

LIKE, UH, YOU STARTED CONSTRUCTION, YOU STARTED ANYTHING.

YEAH, I ING THE OLD PLACE.

I'M REMODELING THE OLD PLACE BECAUSE WHEN I'M TAKING IT, I'M START, YOU KNOW, AND I'M, AND APPLY AND APPLY FOR THE COMPENCY FOR FIRE MYSELF, FOR UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT TWO.

BUT WHEN I'M, WHEN I APPLY FOR, UH, FOR, UH, ALCOHOL VARIES BY THE A, B, C, THEY TELL ME YOU NEED REZONE.

SO YOU DID ALL THE WORK AND EVERYTHING AND GOT IT READY TO GO? NO, I NEED ZO YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU NEEDED REZONING TO GET A LIQUOR LICENSE? YEAH.

YEAH, BECAUSE I'M TAKE, I'M, WHEN I'M TAKING THE PLATE, THE PLATE, IT IS ALREADY, IT ALWAYS WAS A CLUB.

IT'S NOT, NOT LIKE A WITH NOTHING IN THERE.

IT'S ALREADY CLUBBED LIKE FOR 30 SOMETHING YEARS.

LEMME ASK THAT.

IT WAS A NON-CONFORMING USE.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY CLUB DREAMS. IT SHUT DOWN, IT LOST ITS NON-CONFORMING USE IT LOST ITS ALCOHOL BECAUSE IT WAS OKAY.

BEEN THE NON-CONFORMING USE IS NO LONGER.

SO HE, IN ORDER TO GET A A, B, C PERMIT, HE NEEDS TO REZONE.

HENCE THE REASON WHY HE WENT TO PLANNING AND ZONING.

HENCE THE REASON WHY IT'S HERE.

IF THIS IS EVER APPROVED, HE WOULD NEED TO GO BACK TO A, B, C TO GET THE PERMIT.

SO, OKAY.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY HE'S HERE.

AND SO YOU OKAY.

IF THIS, IF, IF THIS IS NO MATTER IF I HAVE A, A COMPETENCY FOR MARSHAL IS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT.

I CAN DO NOTHING.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY I'M STOPPED EVERYTHING.

IT JUST SOUNDED LIKE THE, THE CART WAS PUT BEFORE THE HORSE AND THAT YOU'RE READY TO GO, YOU'RE READY TO OPEN.

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS CAME UP AND I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PROCESS.

'CAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME THE FIRST THING I'D HAVE DONE WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT EVEN LEASING THE PLACE WAS, HEY, THIS IS WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

LET ME GO MAKE SURE I CAN GET IT REZONED BEFORE I EVEN DO ANYTHING.

KINDA LIKE SIGN A PURCHASE AGREEMENT ON A PIECE OF LAND CONTINGENT ON REZONING.

SO YEAH, I'M AGREE WITH THAT.

THAT THAT THE ONLY POINT IS WHEN I'M TAKE IT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S MY FIRST TIME, UH, LIKE I TRYING TO TAKE A, A B LICENSE, YOU KNOW, SO I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I NEED REZO, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I'M TRUST THIS IS A CLUB ALWAYS WAS A CLUB.

SO LIKE FOR MORE THREE YEARS RIGHT.

WAS A CLUB.

SO I'M BRING A CLUB, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO THAT'S WHEN I'M TRUSTING.

TAKE IT.

AND HE, HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW TOO.

HE, HE, HE KNOW NOW WHEN I'M TELLING I NEED SONY, MR. SHELTON, WHAT HE, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WE, THE THE LAST LEGALIZING A, UH, FOR THE A, B, C I THINK SO, UH, AND UH, LIKE, UH, 2022.

BECAUSE WHEN I TAKE THE PLACE, THE A, B, C LOCALIZED WAS THERE, BUT THAT CLOSED IS CLOSED NOT FOR RIGHT.

NO, I UNDERSTAND.

IT LOST ALL, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO WHEN IT CLOSED, EVERYTHING WENT WITH IT.

APPROVAL FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND ALSO FROM TRAFFIC, DRAINAGE AND SEWER.

SO YOU WANT ONE SECOND? COUNCIL MO, DO YOU WANT YOUR SECOND FIVE MINUTES? YEAH, YEAH.

COUNCIL MEMBER, JUST TO KIND OF CLEAR SOME FEW THINGS UP, THERE IS AN APPLIED FOR RENOVATION PERMIT THAT HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AT THIS PROPERTY.

THE BUILDING PLANS HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL HAS APPROVED THE LIFE SAFETY PLAN, BUT CURRENTLY WE'RE STILL WAITING ON

[00:15:01]

THOSE REVIEWS HAVE NOT BEEN ISSUED AND DEMONSTRATED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE.

SO AT THIS POINT, NO CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE TAKING PLACE AT THAT PROPERTY.

I MEAN, YEAH, NO, I CAN SELL.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.

I'M, I'M STOPPING AND AGAIN.

CORRECT.

NOTHING'S BEEN APPLIED FOR.

SO I WOULD DEFINITELY WAIT AND SEE IF THIS GOES THROUGH AFTER THE DEFERRAL.

BEFORE YOU SINK A LOT OF MONEY INTO ALL THAT.

NO, I'M SPENDING MY OWN MONEY, YOU KNOW, SO IF I, IF I TAKE THIS SIR, IF YOU WOULD STEP UP TO THE MIC.

OH, I'M SORRY.

YEAH, YEAH.

YOU KNOW, IF I TAKE THIS BECAUSE THIS, MY, THIS, MY WHOLE, LIKE, MY BIG PROBLEM IS THIS ONE, RIGHT.

BECAUSE I CAN TAKE ANOTHER LOANS TO TAKE THE REST, YOU KNOW, I DON'T DO, SO IT'S HARD TO TAKE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IF I COMPLETE EVERYTHING IN THE LAW, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? EVERY, EVEN WITH THE FIRE MARSH, I HAVE COMPLETE EVERYTHING WITH THE FIRE.

MARSHA, THEY TELL ME AND UH, AND FIRE DEPARTMENT TOO.

SO AFTER I NEED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PERMIT TO TAKE THE ENCY, YOU KNOW.

SO ANYWAYS, I NEED PUT MONEY, YOU KNOW, TO TAKE IT.

IT, IT IS RIGHT NOW PUT OUT LIKE THE SONY.

I THINK TO TAKE, TO TAKE THE, UH, OCCUPANCY, OCCUPANCY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, FIRE MARSHAL AND FIRE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT.

I NEED TO PUT MONEY OVER THERE TO TAKE LIKE, LIKE, LIKE A PLUMBING, YOU KNOW, ELECTRICITY CLEANSE AND EVERYTHING TO TAKE THAT, ALRIGHT.

TO TAKE THAT FROM ME.

HE HAS ONE LAST COMMENT AND WE'LL, YES.

SO, UM, AMID MISSPOKE, WHEN I SAY HE PUT CLOSE TO A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THERE, THAT BEING SAID THAT, UM, MONEY THAT HE SPENT IS FOR THE FURNISHINGS, FOR THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HE'S HAD PLANNED THAT HE'S, THAT'S BEEN ON HOLD BECAUSE HE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS PERMIT.

SO HE'S KIND OF WENT OUT AND GOT, UM, THE UM, UH, THE FURNISHINGS AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE, UH, OF THE SHORTAGE GOING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

SO HE KIND OF JUMPED AHEAD KNOWING THAT IT WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM TO GET LICENSE OR ANYTHING.

SO HE WENT, HE WENT AND BOUGHT THE MATERIAL, BOUGHT THE, UM, THE TABLES, CHAIRS AND ALL THOSE DIFFERENT, THE COOLERS AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE THERE'S A SHORTAGE.

UH, AND THEN BACK TO, UM, CLUB DREAMS THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC, THE CLUB WASN'T OPEN.

IT WAS CLOSED FOR THOSE THREE YEARS.

IT WASN'T OPEN, NO CLUBS WERE OPEN.

SO AFTER THAT, AFTER THE CLUB, BASICALLY AFTER THE PANDEMIC WAS OVER, MY DAD DECIDES, HEY, I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE.

THAT'S WHY WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND LEASE IT OUT OR SELL IT BECAUSE MY DAD'S 80 YEARS OLD.

HE DOESN'T NEED TO BE A CLUB, RUN A CLUB ANYMORE.

BUT THAT'S WHY WE DECIDED TO SELL IT.

UM, YOU JUST DIDN'T KNOW THE CONDITIONAL USE WENT WITH THE VISITS.

IT, I MEAN ALL YOUR, IT WAS A UNDER, IT WAS A CONDITIONAL USE, WHICH DROPPED EVERYTHING AS FAR AS WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE USED FOR.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE ZONING CAME IN.

MM-HMM.

SO, OKAY, SO, AND I, NO, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, AGAIN, MY, MY WHOLE QUESTION ON THE PROCESS WAS, I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU BROUGHT UP THE A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, YOU KNOW, AND, AND THE STUFF THAT YOU PUT INTO IT, THE ZONING PART, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHY THE, I GUESS THE ZONING PART WASN'T TAKEN CARE OF FIRST AND FOREMOST TO KNOW THAT YOU COULD OPEN.

BUT HE ANSWERED MY QUESTION WHETHER HE, YOU KNOW, HE TELLS ME HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT, DIDN'T HE TELLS ME THE LANDLORD DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

UM, I UNDERSTAND FROM LIKE THEY TOLD ME IT'S A CONDITIONAL USE.

YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A CLUB BEFORE MM-HMM.

IT JUST AUTOMATICALLY COULD BE AS THAT AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE, ALL THE LICENSES WOULD BE THERE, BUT UNDER CONDITIONAL USE, WHEN THE BUSINESS CLOSES, ALL THAT GOES WITH IT.

WELL, I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW, BUT IT'S BEEN A CLUB OVER 50 YEARS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT IT WAS UNDER A CONDITIONAL USE.

THAT EVERYTHING WENT WITH THAT CLUB.

SO I, I GUESS WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ALSO, SO TODAY IS BASED ON THEY DOING A HEARING TO VOTE, UM, ON THE REZONING.

I NOTICED THAT IT WAS, UH, ON THE VOTE IT WAS FOUR TO THREE IN FAVOR IN IN FAVOR OF NOT REZONING.

THAT WAS THE PLAN IN THE ZONING ISN'T THAT HAS TO COME BEFORE US.

AFTER THAT.

IT HAS TO COME TO US.

ONCE THEY MAKE THEIR VOTE, THEIR VOTE'S LIKE A RECOMMENDATION TO US AS FAR AS ULTIMATE APPROVAL.

AND SEE, WE JUST TRYING TO GET SOME UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

'CAUSE EVERYBODY, ONE PERSON SAYS THIS, ONE PERSON SAYS THAT AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE WE ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S GOING ON.

SO WE TRYING TO BE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS HERE.

AND, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEY DID SEND IT TO US A FOUR TO THREE FAIL.

SO THAT, THAT'S ONE PART THERE.

MM-HMM.

HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT GOING AHEAD AND VOTING.

I DON'T THINK THEY UNDER.

COUNCILMAN MOGUE, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

ALRIGHT Y'ALL GENTLEMEN, IF Y'ALL WOULD PLEASE GRAB YOUR SEATS PLEASE.

THEY CAN, YOU CAN EITHER DEFER THIS MATTER OR Y'ALL CAN VOTE ON IT AND IT'S GONNA FAIL.

SO YEAH, IF YOU WANT THE COUNCIL TO VOTE ON IT, THEY CAN VOTE ON IT, BUT IT'S GONNA FAIL.

'CAUSE THERE NEED TO BE EIGHT MEMBERS.

I JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

SO IF THEY'RE OKAY WITH THE DEFERRAL.

THANK YOU POLLO.

YEAH, THANKS.

SO, MR. TORITO, IF YOU WANNA COME.

WE'RE SIMPLY TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH LARGER LOTS AND LESS DENSITY AS IT WAS ESTABLISHED DECADES AGO.

STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

I'M JOE TORITO.

I LIVE AT 1 0 4 2 OH PICO LANE HERE IN BATON ROUGE.

ONE OF MY LOTS OR ONE ONE OF MY PROPERTIES IS LISTED HERE ON THE REZONING.

I GUESS ALL I ASK TO BEGIN WITH, IS THERE ENOUGH VOTES TO, TO HEAR THIS PARTICULAR REZONING ISSUE? YES, SIR, THERE IS.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

SO, UH, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS LOCATED ON PICO LANE BETWEEN HOLLAND ROAD AND PERKINS ROAD.

AND IT WAS ESTABLISHED DECADES AGO AS LARGE RURAL LOTS, MOSTLY BETWEEN 2.2 AND FIVE ACRES.

WE'VE WORKED WITH CITY PARISH PLANNING STAFF AND OUR TWO COUNCILMEN, DWIGHT HUDSON AND ROWDY GO DAY TO MAINTAIN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS COUNTRY HOME ESTATES WITH LARGER SIZE LOTS FOR THE PRIVACY, SAFETY, AND THE LIFESTYLE THAT, UH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD PROVIDES US.

THE VERY REASONS THAT WE CHOSE THIS, UH, PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE OUR HOMES AND AND TO RAISE OUR FAMILIES.

UH, FUTURE BE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STATES IN ITS LAND USE.

GOAL NUMBER FOUR IS TO MAINTAIN, STABILIZE, AND STRENGTHEN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, MAKING THEM PLACES WHERE NEW RESIDENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO LIVE AND SECTION ACTIONS TO SUPPORT OBJECTIVE STATES, PRESERVE THE CHARACTER OF ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS BY REQUIRING THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT COMPLEMENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S CHARACTERISTICS.

[00:30:01]

AND IN A MANNER AS PROVIDED IN THE GOALS AND GUIDANCE OF FUTURE BR.

THE LIFESTYLE AND CHARACTER OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS MADE IT A HIGHLY DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE.

IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, FOUR YOUNG FAMILIES HAVE PURCHASED LOTS HERE ON PICO LANE WHERE THEY WILL BUILD OR RENOVATE HOMES.

FUTURE VR SAYS IT PROVIDES FOR OPTIONS TO RESIDENTS.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HERE ON PICO LANE IS PART OF THAT OPTION AND THAT IT PROVIDES AN ATMOSPHERE AND CHARACTER THAT APPEALS TO A LARGE NUMBER OF CITIZENS WHO DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN THE SMALLER LOTS OF SUBDIVISIONS BEING DEVELOPED TODAY.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PROVIDES CITIZENS WITH A, UH, WITH A DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND CHOICES OF WHERE AND HOW THEY WISH TO LIVE AND RAISE A FAMILY IN THIS PARISH.

WE FOLLOWED AND MET THE LAWS AND CODES OF THIS PARISH AS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND OUR COUNCILMEN.

WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE RECOGNIZE OUR DESIRES AND HARD WORK TO RECOG, TO REZONE OUR PROPERTIES BY APPROVING THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO ADDRESS CHIEF THIS AFTERNOON.

AND WE WORK WITH THE, THIS SUBDIVISION BEFORE AND WE'RE SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION.

WELL, WE HOPE IT'LL BE A FAVORABLE MOTION.

AND SECONDLY, UH, FOR THE REASONS WERE STATED.

SECONDLY, I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF THE TAX RECORDS 'CAUSE THEY'RE ALL ONLINE ON A PER ACRE BASIS.

THIS OR SWEET SPOT AND THE, UH, HALF ACRE, ONE ACRE ZONING FOR THE CITY WHERE THEY GET A LOT MORE MONEY COMING IN THAN THEY'RE PAYING OUT.

AND THAT, I'M SURE THAT HASN'T CHANGED.

THERE'S A LOT.

IT DEPENDS ON THE DENSITY 'CAUSE THERE'S TAX RETURNS GOING FAR OUT IN THE RURAL PROPERTY, OF COURSE.

SO LOW AND YET MORE IN THE CENTER OF TOWN, BUT THEY'RE DECLINING AS YOU GO DOWN WITH LESS DENSITY.

BUT THERE'S A NICE SPIKE IN THE MIDDLE AT THIS SIZE PROPERTY.

ANY OTHER PROPONENTS WISHING TO SPEAK, SEE? AND NONE.

WE WILL OPEN THE FLOOR TO OPPONENTS, ANY OPPONENTS WISHING TO SPEAK.
