APPLICANT IS HERE TO SPEAK
UM, HER BROTHERS, THEIR NAME, THE LAND OWNER, OR GOLD STANDARD WALMACK ROAD, UH, ON THE PROPERTY.
THAT'S A DEAD END UP AND WE WON'T LOSE LAMB, UH, UH, AND HAD STARTED A BUSINESS, UH, LATER IN 1985, A PORTABLE TOILET, OR, UH, THEY DON'T DO ANY DISPOSAL,
[00:10:03]
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE.AND, UH, UH, AT THAT TIME IT WAS ON ROLL WITH, UH, UH, OTHER GUIDELINES FOR MARSHALL GOING WITH JANE.
AND WE'D LIKE TO HAVE PROPER, PROPERLY WRONG FOR THE CONFIRMING HERE.
UH, THE REASON THAT WE'RE WANTING TO ON THE PROPERTY TO BECOME CONFORMING TO THE ZONING AND REGULAR PRESENT AT THE TIME THAT BUSINESS WAS STARTED IN 85, THAT WAS ON A ROLL ZONING, WHICH ALLOW COMMERCIAL HERE AND, UH, THE ZONING OF JANE AND NONCONFORMING.
MY GUESS, WHAT YOU GUYS SAYING AT THAT TIME? UH, NOW, WELL, WE JUST LIKE TO HAVE THE BUILDING UP, BUT ENTER CONFORMING PROPERTY THAT HAS GONE NOW TO A PUBLIC LIGHT, A DOG, JUST TO BE ABLE TO COMPLY OR TO GO ANYTHING ELSE? UH, THE OWNER SPOKEN TO A COUPLE OF A NEIGHBOR RUN OVER THEM AND NONE OF THEM HAD HAD NO OBJECTION.
AND, UH, DAVID, I DON'T KNOW THEIR NAME.
I THINK YOU, YOU CAN SUBMIT IT SO YOU CAN, UH, SUBMIT IT TO THE STAFF.
YOU CAN SUBMIT IT TO THE STAFF DESK AND IT'LL GO INTO THE RECORDS.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PRESIDENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK PROPONENTS FIRST FOLLOWED BY ANY OPPOSITION? WE HAVE TWO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.
COULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND DIANE ROBINSON? KUDAIR OKAY.
I'M AN AIR OF THE FLOWERS BULLSHIT LEGACY AND MY GRANDMA GRANDMOTHER CHAMP, AND MY FATHER WOODROW W. ROBINSON LEFT ME IN CHARGE OF THE PROPERTY, UM, ON THE FLOWERS BULLSHIT PROPERTY THAT C TWO OF THE WOODROW W. ROBINSON NEXT TO, UM, WHERE THEY WANT TO START THIS LITTLE COMPANY.
THEY ARE, THEY'RE TRYING TO PULL.
BUT ANYWAY, UM, ALSO I, UM, TRACK 83 OF THE FLOWER POST SHAMPOO PROPERTY.
UM, I WANT TO START WITH US WITH SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? I DON'T WANT TO START WITH SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN 1962, MY MOTHER AND FATHER, WE OWN, UM, STRAWBERRY FIELDS WITH NINE KIDS.
AND MY MOTHER AND FATHER WAS SPRAYED WITH AGENT ORANGE, TO CLEAR AWAY THE DEBRIS.
THEY SEE OTHER TREES AND EVERYTHING, BUT IT ACCIDENTALLY GOT ON MY, OUR FORUM AND MY MOTHER CAME DOWN WITH COLON CANCER AND MY FATHER CAME DOWN WITH A THUMB, UM, WITH HIS INTESTINAL CANCER.
SO I DON'T AGREE WITH ANY CHEMICALS BEING PRESENTED TO THE WATERWAY.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ALSO HAVE SOME TESTING RUN BEFORE ANY OF THIS IS RESOLVED.
IF MY WORD DON'T COUNT AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN AND PART OF THIS LEGACY, I WOULD WANT TO HAVE THE TEST RAN.
AND I WANT TO SEE WHAT THE TESTS LOOK LIKE OF THIS, UM, PORT-A-POTTY COMPANY THAT'S ALREADY EXISTED.
[00:15:01]
SO THIS IS MY, UM, THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ME AND I DO WANT TO CHECK.I WANT IT WRITTEN NOW THE BE CHECKED IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD MY WORDS.
I DO NOT WANT, AND I DO NOT APPROVE OF ANY FURTHER COLLUSION ON THAT PROPERTY.
I DON'T TRACK C3 QME, A ADDRESS TO ROY.
I'M GETTING READY TO GIVE IT TO YOU.
MY ADDRESS IS ONE NINE SIX THREE ONE WOMACK ROAD, AND I OWN A, I OWN TRACK EIGHT THREE, WHICH IS A PART OF THE FLOWERS BOAT, BOAT, CHAMPS SUBDIVISION.
I JUST HAVE THREE QUICK POINTS TO MAKE FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE ANYBODY WHO'S CURRENTLY LIVING ON WOMACK ROAD, UH, LIVED THERE.
THERE WAS RESIDENTIAL PEOPLE LIVING IN THE LAST ONE, THE LAST SON OF ONE OF THOSE EARLY AIR'S DAD, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AT AGE 93, UH, ANY REZONING FROM OTHER THINGS, ANYTHING OTHER THAN AGRICULTURAL CREATES A MAJOR HAZARD POTENTIAL FOR THE PEOPLE LIVING ON WOMACK ROAD FROM TIGER BEN BACK TO THE DEAD END.
CAUSE EVERYBODY ON TIGER BEING FROM THE DNN HAS A WATER.
WELL, ANY, UH, COMMERCIAL USAGE THAT POSSIBLY CONTAMINATE THOSE WELLS.
THE LAST INDUSTRIAL PROJECT THAT WAS ON WOMACK ROAD, IT WAS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THEY WERE TRYING TO GRIND UP SOME BRICKS OR SOMETHING AND THEY PUT DUST ALL OVER EVERYBODY ON WOMACK ROADS, HOUSE AND LAWN.
IT'S BEEN RESIDENTIAL FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE ANYBODY BEFORE THERE EVER WAS A PLANNING COMMISSION IN BATON ROUGE, THERE WAS RESIDENTIAL LIVING ON WOMACK ROAD.
WE'D LIKE TO KEEP IT RESIDENTIAL.
MR. OD, THE GENTLEMEN WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY AT THE END OF WOMACK ROAD HAS A POOR POTTY BUSINESS.
AND HE MAY BE A, I DON'T KNOW IF HE DUMPS THIS STUFF IN THE AMY RIVER, WHICH IS RIGHT THERE, NICK AT THE END OF HIS PROPERTY.
BUT WE, UH, THE RESONANCE OF THE PLACE, HE MAY HAVE TALKED TO THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE.
UH, MY, THE LADY BEFORE ME SPEAKS FOR HERSELF AND NINE OTHER, UM, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, PLUS I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY COUSINS AND NEPHEWS AND NIECES THAT ALSO LIVE ON THAT ROAD.
AND ANY CONSIDERATION YOU WILL GIVE TO THIS, UH, REMAINING AS IT IS AGRICULTURAL AND RESIDENTIAL WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE.
WELL, THE CITY OF BATON ROUGE AND, AND ST.
GEORGE, ONCE THEY GET THE THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
WE HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL, UH, NOTE AND OPPOSITION.
I'LL READ THAT IN FROM JULIET DAUGHTER REEF, I'M ADAMANTLY AGAINST CHANGING THE ZONING ON BOONE SERVICES, PROPERTY FROM RURAL TO INDUSTRIAL, WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA OF WHICH I AM THE LONG TIME OWNER OF 200 ACRES.
I REMEMBER WHEN SOME BUSINESSES WERE GRANDFATHERED IN, IN THE 1980S, THESE COMMERCIAL ENDEAVORS WERE ALLOWED UNDER THE RURAL ZONING, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A GRAVE MISTAKE WITH BAD RAMIFICATIONS FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO ALLOW INDUSTRIAL ZONING IN THIS AREA.
PLEASE VOTE AGAINST CHANGING THE ZONING ON THIS TRACK FROM RURAL TO INDUSTRIAL.
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL VOTE AGAINST CHANGING THE ZONING ON BOONE SERVICES.
PROPERTY FROM RURAL TO INDUSTRIAL, WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH SOME USELESS USES WERE GRANDFATHERED IN, IN THE 1980S.
THESE COMMERCIAL ENDEAVORS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT RULES ZONING, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A GRAVE MISTAKE WITH BAD RAMIFICATIONS FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO ALLOW INDUSTRIAL ZONING IN THIS AREA.
PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THE ZONING ON THIS TRACK TO BE CHANGED FROM RURAL TO INDUSTRIAL.
AT THIS TIME, I WILL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR A FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL, THE APPLICANT WHO WISHES TO NOT SPEAK.
WELL, COMMISSION MEMBERS AT THIS TIME, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON, ON THESE ITEMS,
[00:20:03]
ROSSI.UM, CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH LOTS THE TWO INDIVIDUALS WERE IN OPPOSITION? WHICH ONES? I THINK ONE SAID A ONE OR A THREE.
UH, DID YOU, DID YOU CATCH THAT BRIAN? DIDN'T GET IT.
IT WAS C TWO C TWO AND EIGHT THREE.
SO LOOKING AT THE MAP AND TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW FAR OF A DISTANCE THOSE LOTS OF CHQ IS.
WHERE IS THAT IN PROXIMITY TO D THREE AND FOUR THERE ACRES APART, OR I CAN'T TELL FROM THE MAP LOOKING AT A MAP, BUT HOW FAR ARE THOSE? OKAY.
IS IT D C TOO? C TWO? I THINK AT EIGHT, THREE WAS THE OTHER ONE OR WHICH ONE? APRIL? APRIL.
WHICH ONE DID YOU SAY?
SEE TWO LOOKS LIKE HAVE ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE LOTS AWAY FROM THE, THE SCALE OF THE MAP.
IT LOOKS APPROXIMATELY SIX TO 700 FEET DOWN FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
SO THEY'RE NOT THAT FAR, THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE, UH, THE OPPOSITION WAS SPEAKING OF IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY FROM THE PROPOSED PROPERTIES FOR REZONE COMMISSION? NO, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY CLARIFY, BUT I WAS JUST TRYING TO DETERMINE THE PROXIMITY BETWEEN THE PROPERTIES THAT WERE IN OPPOSITION AND TO THE PROPERTY BEING PROPOSED D THREE IS APPROXIMATELY 1200 FEET AWAY ANGRY, RIGHT.
AND SO C, C TWO IS LESS THAN THAT.
CQ IS APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET AWAY.
AND I'LL SEE YOU COMMISSIONER HILL, I THINK VICE CHAIRMAN WE'RE OUT AHEAD ON A COMMENT, UH, RIGHT BEFORE YOU, CAN YOU, CAN YOU GIVE ME A SECOND TALVIN FOR THE, FOR THE DIRECTOR, THIS IS A REZONING TO BRING A NON-CONFORMITY THAT'S CURRENTLY ALLOWED INTO A, UM, INTO, UH, UH, A MORE NORMAL ZONING.
SO IF WE, EVEN IF WE DENY THIS, WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THAT PROPERTY WILL CONTINUE, CORRECT? NO MATTER THE ACTION PLANNING COMMISSION TONIGHT COMMISSIONER YOU'RE CORRECT, THE EXISTING BUSINESS WOULD BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE ON THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY USE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED LEGALLY.
IT'S JUST CONSIDERED A NONCONFORMING USE ON THE PROPERTY.
IT CANNOT BE EXPANDED IN ANY WAY, BUT THAT USE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AND WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE.
SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO LAWS HERE THAT ALREADY HAS AN EXISTING USE.
THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING NOW IS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO.
SO THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR AN EXPANSION ON THIS VOTE.
I KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER VOTE COMING UP AND THAT I KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH, SO ASKING POTENTIAL EXPANSION ON THIS BOAT IS JUST TO BRING SOMETHING THAT'S NONCONFORMING INTO A MORE CONFORMING USE, CORRECT? JUST CORRECT.
VICE CHAIRMAN, COMMISSIONER HILL.
UH, MR. HALL, COULD YOU JUST CONFIRM FOR ME THAT THE REZONING OF FIVE ONLY TWO, UH, D D THREE AND D FOUR.
THESE TWO ITEMS THAT WE'RE ON NOW DEAL WITH
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION? YEAH.
UM, THE APPLICANT IS A SPEAK PICKS.
THE GUY WHO SPOKE FOR HIM, IS HE STILL AROUND? IS THE ADVOCATE STILL AROUND? YES.
[00:25:02]
COULD YOU ASK THEM TO COME TO THE PODIUM? I THINK COMMISSIONER ADDISON.THE APPLICANT OR THE OPPOSITION? THE APPLICANT.
SO THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE HEARING ISSUES.
SO I'M GOING TO STAND HERE AND HELP THEM OUT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
I WANTED TO ASK HIM WHAT TYPE OF CHEMICALS I HEARD THE PHYSICIAN TALK ABOUT THE USE OF CHEMICALS ON THE PROPERTIES, POSSIBLY CONTAMINATE WATERS AND OTHER, OTHER CLOSE PROXIMITY, UM, UH, UM, AREAS.
WHAT TYPE OF CHEMICALS ARE YOUR CLIENTS CURRENTLY USE? AND IF WE TALK ABOUT EXPANDING, YOU'RE EXPANDING, HOW'S THAT GOING TO BE DONE? ARE THERE ANY CHEMICALS USED ON YOUR PROPERTY? NOT THAT I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, THEY JUST MAINTAIN THEIR, THEY DON'T DISPOSE OF WASTE DISPOSAL.
THAT WILL SAY DOLL, WHEREVER THEY'RE LICENSED TO DO SO WELL, BUT NO CHEMICAL, WHETHER THEY STORE THE, OR BEFORE USING ANY CHEMICALS I'M NOT AWARE OF.
SO, UM, THAT WAS A CONCERN THAT ONE OF THE OPPOSITION NEIGHBORS THAT THEY WERE USING TOXIC, THE USE OF CHEMICALS AND WHERE DO ACTUALLY DISPOSING OF THEIR PRODUCTS.
YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE A SERIOUS CONCERN BECAUSE YOU'RE MOVING INTO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT DIDN'T COME TOP FUTURE CONTAMINATION OR WHATEVER SHE'S COMING TO BE MONITORED.
IT WILL BE MONITORED BY CERTAIN ORGANIZATIONS, BUT YOU KNOW, THE EXPAND THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE FOR THOSE PEOPLE.
AND THAT, THAT WOULD BE A CONCERN.
SO HOW LONG HER LARGER PROPERTY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT REZONING? IF THE CHAIRMAN IN TWO LOTS, BUT TWO LIVES COULD BE A HUGE SIZE.
HOW LONG, HOW LARGE A PROPERTY WE TALKING ABOUT EXPANDING.
IT'S NOT THE EXPANSION, THIS ITEM ISN'T FOR THESE TWO ITEMS. AREN'T FOR THE EXPANSION ZONE.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS, BUT THERE'LL BE FUTURE COMPANION ITEMS THAT ARE COMING UP.
I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE REZONING AT THIS TIME.
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE LOTS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TURNOFF 12 AND A HALF ACRES, 12 ACRES.
SEE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LARGE PROXIMITY.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A LOT BY DINA, A HUNDRED BY 130, 150.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 12 ACRES GUYS, YOU KNOW, SO TO SAY IT AS IF THOUGH IT'S NOT, IT IS COMMAND, IT'S A BIG COMMERCIAL STAFF RIGHT NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL PEOPLE TO CONCERNS ABOUT CONTAMINATIONS AND WHATEVER SHOULD BE TAKEN TO CONSIDERATION.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION.
I MEAN, SO IF ALL THE, ALL THE APPLICANT IS DOING IS STORING, UH, HIS, HIS, HIS EQUIPMENT ON THAT PROPERTY IS MOSTLY USING IT FOR SOMETHING.
AND THE APPLICANT HAS ANSWERED THAT QUESTION.
I MEAN, THE APPLICANT, THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS A CONSTRUCTION GUY.
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
WE'RE TALKING 12 ACRES OF LAND.
THE QUESTION WAS, WHAT DID WE APPLICANT GOING TO USE A PROPERTY FOR IN TERMS OF WHAT WE CURRENTLY DOING? EVERYBODY'S HAPPY WITH HIS CURRENT NEEDS AND BRINGING IT INTO COMPLIANCE OF NONCONFORMING USAGE, BUT IN REZONING 12 ACRES OF LAND TO SO ESTABLISHED AND YOU CAN PAY THEM PROPERLY.
WE NEED TO RESOLVE FROM WHAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY DOING RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY DOING RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NOTHING TO CHANGE, WHETHER THE MAINTENANCE BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY, WHERE THEY MAINTAIN THEIR EQUIPMENT, UH, TRUCK AND WHATEVER.
AND, UH, THEY ALSO STORE, AND THEN I HAVE AN OFFICE BUILDING THAT, UH, WHETHER I DO MANAGE THEIR BUSINESS ALL ABOUT THE OPERATION MAINTENANCE MAN STORE, THERE'S NO TRAINING DUMPING OR THE BOGLE THAT I'M AWARE OF.
[00:30:06]
AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE APPLICANT.HOW LONG HAD THE APPLICANT OWN THE PROPERTY THAT YOU MIGHT OWN THIS PROPERTY? ALTHOUGH LIKE, AFTER THE EARLY 80, NOW THE OTHER FIVE LOT BROUGHT, UH, I'M NOT SURE WHEN HE PARKED THE DAY FOR, UH, NO, IT'S PROBABLY BEEN AT LEAST 20 TO 25 YEARS, BUT I REALLY CAN'T SAY FOR SURE.
I DON'T KNOW ON A FLIGHT, BUT I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S BEEN A REAL FUN OPERATION FOR AT LEAST THAT LONG.
UM, CHAIRMAN, UH, THIS QUESTION IS POSSIBLY FOR, UM, FOR, UM, RYAN, AS IT RELATES TO THE
IN ONE ZONE, COULD YOU, COULD YOU CONFIRM THAT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING? I'M NOT LOOKING AT THE DUTY IN FRONT OF ME, BUT IS, IS FOR MANUFACTURING AND PROCESSING OF, UM, CERTAIN TYPE OF PRODUCTS BECAUSE TO MY UNDERS TO MY UNDERSTANDING LIGHT, UM, IN ONE ZONING IS FOR LIKE CHEMICAL PLANTS AND, UH, INDUSTRIAL UNIT.
SO COULD YOU CONFIRM THE LIGHT ONE INDUSTRIAL, UM, AS IT RELATES TO THE USES AND WHAT'S REQUIRED IN THAT, THAT'S THE REASON WHY THEY'RE ASKING FOR THIS SO THAT THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, IF IT IS A PORTA POTTY, UM, FACILITY OVER THERE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE USING IT TO CONTAIN AND PROCESS SOME THINGS.
THAT'S HOW I'M UNDERSTANDING THIS.
UM, AND ONE, THERE WOULD BE NO PROCESSING.
TIM COMES ON THE SIDE, THAT'S HEAVY, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.
THAT WOULD BE OUR EMPTY OUR MOST, OUR MOST, UM, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ZONING, WHICH IS NOT WHAT THE APPLICANT'S ASKING FOR.
THE REASON FOR THE ONE REQUEST IS OF THE OUTDOOR STORAGE OF MATERIALS, WHICH, UM, OR THE POOR POTTIES THEMSELVES, ANY, UH, SMALLER STORAGE CONTAINERS, ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT SUCH AS A LAY DOWN OR A CONTRACTOR'S YARD WOULD ALSO BE IN ZONING.
SO THIS IS THE MOST RESTRICTIVE ZONING CATEGORY THAT WOULD ALLOW THE EXISTING BUSINESS, UM, ON THIS PROPERTY.
AND THEN THE OTHER TWO THAT ARE NEXT TO IT, EVEN THOUGH THE, UM, THE OPPONENTS THAT WERE REFERENCING THE, THE AWAN AND THE C TWO.
SO THE ONE, THE ONE THE D LET'S SEE THE D TWO AND D ONE.
WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE THOSE TWO? UM, LOTS NEXT, NEXT TO THE REQUESTED APPLICANTS, D FOUR AND D THREE.
THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE FREIGHT RULES.
WHAT CAUSED YOU TO CONSIDER THOSE, THOSE ON THE NEXT TWO ITEMS? THESE ITEMS WE'RE HEARING NOW DISCUSSION SHOULD BE LIMITED IF AT ALL POSSIBLE TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, IN ANY, UH, ANYONE IN OPPOSITION THAT BROUGHT UP A CONCERN.
ANYTHING ELSE? COMMISSIONER HAWTHORNE.
SO THE, THE GUY OR THE, THE FABRICA ARI OWNS TWO OR THREE OTHER LOTS IN ADDITION TO THE ONE SHE'S, UH, PROPOSING TO HAVE REZONED, CAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE APPLICATION, IT SAYS LARGE SCALE, ONE POINT 65 ACRES.
IS THAT COMBINED WITH WHAT HE ALREADY HAS ON A COMPLIMENT? I MEAN, UM, COMMISSIONER ADDISON ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT HOW MUCH ACREAGE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT LOOKING AT THE APPLICATION.
I'M LOOKING AT LARGE SCALE 31.6, FIVE ACRES.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S FOR BOTH CASES COMBINED TOGETHER.
RIGHT? SO IT'S TWO CASES ALONG WITH THE NEXT TWO CASES.
SO ALTOGETHER WOULD BE 31.65 ACRES, CORRECT.
THIS, THESE TWO CASES AGAIN ARE JUST THE FIRST 12 AND A HALF ACRES
[00:35:01]
OF THE EXISTING BUSINESS.THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR AND MAYBE CORRECT MR. DIRECTOR, IF I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS CORRECTLY, BUT WHAT WERE YOUR VOTING ON ON THE FIRST TWO IS SIMPLY TO MEMORIALIZE AN EXISTING CONDITION.
WE WOULD NOT BE CHANGING ANYTHING BY DENYING THIS.
WE WOULDN'T BE RESTRICTING THEM IF THEY ARE IN THEIR CURRENT BUSINESS, IT WOULD STILL STAY THE SAME.
ALL WE ARE DOING IS TRYING TO BRING WHAT THEY ARE DOING INTO THE CURRENT CODE, INTO A CURRENT ZONING RESTRICTION.
IS THAT CORRECT? SO TALK ABOUT TALKING ABOUT ALL SORTS OF OTHER LAND.
IN THIS CASE, WE NEED TO STAY WITHIN THE FOUR CORNERS OF THIS APPLICATION.
AND IN THAT CASE, WE ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE EXISTING PROPERTIES AND WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE TWO EXISTING PROPERTIES WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY OPERATE.
SO ALL WE'RE DOING IS JUST BRINGING THIS INTO CURRENT CONFORMANCE.
WE ARE NOT GIVING THEM ANYTHING ADDITIONAL.
WE ARE NOT ALLOWING THEM TO DO ANY WARM WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING NOW, IS THAT CORRECT? PART OF THE ACTION WOULD BE A REZONING AND THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO EXPAND WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THEIR, OF THESE TWO LIVES.
SO THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO, BUT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPAND WHAT THEY'RE DOING NOW, NOT ANOTHER TYPE OF BUSINESS AND LIMITED WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THESE TWO PLOTS.
SO IT'D BE LIMITED WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THESE TWO LAWS, RIGHT? THANK YOU.
UM, I KNOW THAT THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE, UM, SEPARATE CASES.
I GET THAT, REZONE IT TO BRING IT INTO CONFORMITY.
BUT THEN I KNOW WHEN I SUPPOSED TO BE CONSIDERING THE OTHER TWO, BUT THEY'RE BOTH EACH OTHER.
AND I'M JUST TRYING TO BRING SOME CLARITY BECAUSE I MEAN, IF THIS, I MEAN, IF WE DO VOTE TO APPROVE IT, THEN THEY CAN COME BACK.
AND EVEN THOUGH THE STAFF HAS DENIED THE NEXT APPLICATION, CAN THEY COME BACK AND, UM, RE CAN THE APPLICATION THEN BE CONSIDERED FOR RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLANNING STAFF? SO I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK ALL FOUR OF THEM'S ALTOGETHER TOGETHER, BUT I KNOW WE'RE JUST ONLY DOING THE TWO THAT'S ALL MY COMMENTS.
IT JUST, UM, WHATEVER LET'S CHECK PERMISSIONS MADISON.
I THINK MISSION RIGHT BEFORE YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.
I MEAN, THEY CAN STILL DO WHAT THEY ALL CURRENTLY DO WITHIN THOSE TWO CONFINES.
THAT'S IT? THEY'RE CURRENTLY TALKING ABOUT THE INITIAL 12 ACRES, WHICH LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL EXPANSION THAT'S GOING ON.
IT'S IN THE CONFINES OF, AND OF COURSE WE LOOKING TO BRING THEM TO CLIENTS.
BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FEES FOR EXPANSION, IT'S SOMETHING AND THEY WOULD BE IN THE COM AND THE ABILITY TO DO THAT IN ONE ZONING.
AND ONCE THE ZONING HAS BEEN ANYBODY WITH THAT PROPERTY OWNERS, WE SHOULD JUST SELL IT IN.
AND THAT CONCERN WOULD BE AT THE MOVE FOR DENIAL BY HIM TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT THEY'RE DOING UNDER THE, UNDER THE NONCONFORMING CATEGORY.
AND THAT'LL BE MY MOTION, MR. CHAIRMAN.
THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM COMMISSIONER ADDISON TO DENY THESE TWO ITEMS. IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION? SECOND SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER STERLING.
ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS? OBJECTION FROM VICE CHAIRMAN GROUT.
ANOTHER OBJECTION FROM COMMISSIONER ALLEN.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL OBJECTION? THERE'S ALSO AN OBJECTION FROM COMMISSIONER HEAL.
HOW MANY COMMISSIONERS DO WE HAVE PRESENT? DO WE NEED A ROLL CALL? ROLL CALL, BUT LET'S DO A ROLL CALL.
WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL, VOTE MOTION ON THE BOARDS TO NOT DENY ITEMS TWO AND THREE TAKEN TOGETHER.
[00:40:02]
NO.DONNA, ARE YOU THERE? DONNA? CAN WE GET YOUR BOAT ON THESE TWO ITEMS? OH, I'M SORRY.
WHAT WAS THE VOTE? THE MOTION IS TO DENY ITEMS TWO AND THREE.
FOR LACK OF APARTMENT, DO WE ASK FOLLOW? ARE YOU ON THE CALL AND WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? SO ITEMS TWO AND THREE DIED FOR LACK OF A PERMANENT VOTE.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE, IT IS DODD FOR A LACK OF AFFIRMATIVE VOTE.
SO IF IT, I KNOW THERE WAS A MOTION TO DENY WHICH FAILED.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND WAS THERE A MOTION TO PASS OR NO.
SO THERE WAS A MOTION TO DENY, WHICH WAS WHAT FAILED, BUT THERE'S BEEN NO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TAKEN.
SO IF YOU GUYS MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, THAT ITEM IS ESSENTIALLY DEAD.
IF Y'ALL DON'T TAKE A VOTE, IT SAYS THAT NO ACTION IS TAKEN.
SO EITHER SOMEBODY HAS TO MAKE A MOTION TO DEFER MOTION TO PASS.
UH YOU'VE ALREADY, YOU ALREADY HAD YOUR MOTION THEN.
AND I, WHICH HAS BEEN, WHICH WAS DEFEATED, BUT A MOTION TO DENY IS NOT A POSITIVE IN FAVOR IN FAVOR.
SO YOU'RE HAPPY TO HAVE AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE MOTION TO DEFER, OR IF YOU MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, THAT ITEM IS KILLED.
FOLLOWING SHARMA GROUND FOR APPROVAL.
THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPROVE THESE TWO ITEMS. IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION? SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER ALLEN.
I THINK WE CAN DO A ROLL CALL.
VOTE ON THE MOTION TO APPROVE CHAIRMAN WALTON.
COMMISSIONER COLLINS, LEWIS COMMISSIONER COLLINS, LEWIS COMMISSIONER ELLENDER.
IT'S A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS TWO AND THREE.
COMMISSIONER STARLING, NO COMMISSIONER COLLINS LEWIS OR HER.
AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS MINISTRY? JONES LEWIS IS TO APPROVE ITEMS TWO AND THREE.
WE WENT BACK AND RECONSIDERED IT.
THAT DOES THIS WITH A FIVE TO THREE.
BUT MR. MEMBERS AT THIS TIME, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT TWO ITEMS, WHICH I BELIEVE CAN BE TAKEN A BETTER.
SO THE TWO AND THREE WAS TO APPROVE THEM GOING FORWARD WITH A REZONING OF IT, TO, TO
[00:45:01]
THESO IF THIS FAILS, DOES IT STILL GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR A VOTE TO THE COUNCIL, TO THE COUNCIL TO DINNER? I'M SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION.
CAN WE SIMPLY CHANGE THAT VOTE AND ACKNOWLEDGE IT? DID Y'ALL MOVE ON.
JUST, IF WE HAVE MOVED ON, YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A VOTE TO RECONSIDER IT.
AND I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE IN THE, I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME STATIC ON MY END, SO I COULD NOT HEAR WHETHER THE MATTER HAD MOVED ON OR NOT.
IF YOU MADE A MOTION TO MOVE ON OR Y'ALL MOVED ON, THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE TO RECONSIDER IT AND THEN REVOKE, IF NOT, UM, THEN YOU, SHE CAN ACTUALLY CHANGE HER VOTE IF THE MATTER'S NOT BEEN MOVED.
PAULO CHAIRMAN, WE RAN RECONSIDER THE VOTE.
IT'S EMOTIONAL FLORIDA RECONSIDER NOT MOVED ON WITH THE MARKET TO MOVE ON.
I THINK WE'RE JUST OPERATING, UH, IN, UH, TRYING TO BE SAFE.
ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS? WHAT'S A CHAIRMAN POINT OF ORDER.
WE HAD NOT MOVED ON TO THE NEXT TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
THE NEXT ITEM ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.
SO THE QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S CONSIDERED MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ITEM IN THE INTEREST.
NO, WE HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING WITH THE NEXT SIDE.
AND WHEN SHE MADE THE POINT OF WHEN, WHEN IT WAS, BECAUSE IT AFFECTS MR. HOGAN HAD CLARIFY WHAT THE VOTE WAS.
WE'LL ASK, WE'LL ASK THE PARISH ATTORNEY OFFICE TO WEIGH IN ON WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO RECONSIDER THE ITEM AND HE'S ALREADY MADE CLEAR WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER ADDISON.
I HAVE A POINT OF ORDER, MR. CHAIRMAN.
AND IT'S NOT FOR YOU TO OVERRULE MY POINTED ON LISTENING.
ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK MR. CHAIRMAN? NO.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ME ANYTHING I'M WAITING FOR YOU.
WELL, I HAVE THE THING I'M FOR THAT.
SO ARE WE MOVING? WHAT ARE WE DOING, MS. MADISON? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THAT MR. CHAIRMAN, LET ME SAY ONE THING THAT YOU'VE, SIR, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ME THAT WAY AT ANY TIME, THEY DIDN'T EVEN GIVE A PLATE FOR THE PUBLIC.
LET ME, I WILL POINT OF BOARD.
UH, IF I MAY INTERRUPT, UH, MR. ADDISON AND MR. UH, WASHINGTON, I THINK THE ISSUE IS HAD WE MOVED ON.
AND I BELIEVE THAT, UH, THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WE HAVE OKAY, RIGHT NOW AND THE IMPEDIMENTS THAT WE HAVE, THERE IS SOME LAG TIME AS TO REAL LIFE TIME.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE HAD ACTUALLY MOVED ON OR NOT, BECAUSE I WAS NOT PHYSICALLY IN THE ROOM TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION.
IF THE CHAIR PERSON HAD SAID, LET'S MOVE ON.
AS THE VOTE HAD BEEN DONE, BUT A COUNCIL WOMAN'S DONNA COLLINS WISHED MISUNDERSTOOD AND WANTS TO GO BACK AND WE NOT INTRODUCE THE OTHER ITEM.
THERE COULD BE, UH, IT COULD BE CONSIDERED THAT WE HAVE NOT MOVED ON.
NOW, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT IS AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION.
JUST, JUST SIMPLY HAD THE MATTER ON A SIMPLE MOTION TO BE REHEARD.
AND THEN THE MATTER WOULD BE REVOLTED UPON, I DON'T KNOW, ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION.
I FEEL THAT WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE STEP.
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY TO SAY THAT WE HAD OFFICIALLY MOVED ON YET.
AGAIN, I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE TAPES AND LOOK AT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
I MEAN, I'M KIND OF MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK AND EXACTLY ARE HERE.
HOWEVER, I HAD AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION.
I THINK THAT IF WE WERE TO JUST SIMPLY TAKE A REVOTE ON THAT ISSUE, I BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD, I BELIEVE THAT THE COMMISSIONERS WOULD WANT TO HAVE, UH, A REHEARING ON THAT.
SO I THAT'S, HOW I THINK WE SHOULD DO IS JUST THAT AN ABUNDANCE
[00:50:01]
OF CAUTION HAVE A REHEARING VOTE TO HAVE THEM.I BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY GOT TWO NOTIONS ON IT.
IT WAS, THERE WAS A POINT OF ORDER.
UH, I BELIEVE THAT THE POINT OF ORDER WAS THAT WE HAD NOT MOVED ON.
I BELIEVE THE CHAIRMAN HAD MADE A RULING THAT WE HAD IN FACT MOVE ON.
SO I THINK THAT THE APPROPRIATE MOTION IS NOW THE APPROPRIATE.
HIS RULING IS TO VOTE ON THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER.
PROBABLY A VERY SIMPLE ANSWER.
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT GUYS.
I DID NOT MEAN TO MUDDY THE WATERS UP ANYMORE.
SO I BELIEVE AT THIS TIME, WE'LL HAVE A ROLL CALL, VOTE TO RECONSIDER THE ITEM TO RECONSIDER TWO AND THREE.
TAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE CHAIRMAN WASHINGTON.
CAN YOU RESTATE THAT? THIS IS MR. ALLEN.
THIS IS THE VOTE TO RECONSIDER.
WE WILL NOW HAVE A ROLL CALL, VOTE ON THE MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS TWO AND THREE.
AT THIS TIME, COMMISSION MEMBERS WILL RECONSIDER ITEMS NUMBER TWO AND THREE, AND WE CAN MOVE PROCEED STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR TO APPROVE THESE ITEMS. THESE ARE ITEMS TWO AND THREE CHAIRMAN WASHINGTON.
COMMISSIONER ELEANOR ZAP SAYING COMMISSIONER HAWTHORNE.
CAN YOU RESTATE THAT? THAT WAS A NO, NO, NO.
THEY'RE ON BOARD, BUT IT'S NOW COMMISSIONER HILL.
NO, IT WAS A FOUR TO FOUR VOTE.
TWO ITEMS FAIL FOR LACK OF AFFIRMATIVE AS LIKE WE'RE BACK WHERE WE STARTED.
WE GOT THAT FIGURED OUT AT THIS TIME.
[Items 4 & 5]
WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEMS. NUMBER FOUR AND FIVE ITEM NUMBER FOUR, PLAN AMENDMENT 1521 NINE NINE ZERO NINE AND +1 970-021-9900 WOMACK ROAD NINE OF NUMBER FIVE, CASE 39, 21 NINE NINE ZERO NINE AND +1 970-019-9001.WE HAVE A VIDEO THAT'S IMPORTANT.
HOTSON THE APPLICANT IS LONNIE BONACCORSO.
THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED THE COMPREHENSIVE USE PLAN AMENDMENT FROM AGRICULTURAL RURAL TO OFFICE RELATED CASE 39 20.
THE AFRICAN IS REQUESTING ZONING, JANET OR OFFICE LOW-RISE G O L B A 15 2019 NINE ZERO NINE AND 19 700 THROUGH 19 900 WOMACK ROAD RELATED TO CASE 39,
[00:55:01]
20 STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE PLAN AMENDMENT BASED UPON THE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF AGRICULTURAL RURAL APPEARING APPROPRIATE.CONSIDERING THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE AREA AND STAFF CANNOT CERTIFY THAT THE PROPOSED REQUEST MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR A CHANGE OF ZONING BECAUSE OF THE INCONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, IF SO, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
95 GENDER LOG OR REQUEST FOR THIS BUILDING NOT TO EXPAND THE OPERATION.
WELL, THAT'S THE REASON FOR REQUESTING A SECOND
SO POSING BEING REQUESTED FOR THE OPERATIONAL REPORT.
IF HE PUT THE BUILDING ON THAT PROPERTY THAT WOULD GIVE HIM MORE ACTUAL PROPERTY THAT THEY REQUESTED THE DAMN WALL.
SO THE ONLY THING THAT WE'LL BE DOING ON THE OTHER VERY LARGE BUILDINGS, YOU OFTEN A BUFFER WOULD BE WILLING TO WORK FOR HIM.
THE MORE BUILDINGS, OR DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK PROPONENTS FIRST FOLLOWED BY ANY OPPOSITION TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION? OKAY.
NAME AND ADDRESS DOES, UH, GOOD AFTERNOON.
ONCE AGAIN, MY NAME IS ROY COOK.
UH, I LIVE AT MY ADDRESS IS ONE NINE SIX THREE ONE WOMACK ROAD.
I OWN A TRACK K THREE OF THE BOAT, CHIN OF THE FLOWERS, BOOTCAMP SUBDIVISION.
AND AS I STATED EARLIER, THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR A PORTA POTTY COMPANY AND THEY DO HAVE CHEMICALS CAUSE THEY GOT TO PUT CHEMICALS IN THE PORTA POTTY.
WHEN THEY LEAVE THE PLACE TO TAKE THEM TO THE NEXT TO THE PLACE THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE HIM.
THESE PEOPLE, SERVICE MYSELF ON A COUPLE OCCASIONS ON MY PROPERTY.
IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN RESIDENTIAL AND FARMING FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS.
I UNDERSTAND THE GENTLEMAN THAT HAS A PORTA POTTY BUSINESS DEAL.
BUT IF HE'S ALLOWED TO CHANGE THE ZONING FROM A FARMING AND AGRICULTURE OR AGRICULTURE AND RESIDENTIAL TO LIFE COMMERCIAL OR WHATEVER, ONCE HE GETS A PIECE OF PROPERTY, HE CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS TO WITH IT.
IF HE DECIDES TO COME BACK TO YOU AND ASK YOU, CAN I, ARE WE, WE WANT, INSTEAD OF PUTTING THESE BUILDINGS ON HERE, WE WANT TO EXPAND THE USE OF THIS SO THAT WE CAN GET, UH, MORE WASTE TAKEN OUT OF THE CITY OR WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT BE.
THAT'S THE ONLY PURPOSE OF THAT.
BUT YOU GOT RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA.
IN FACT, THEY HAD AN ARTICLE IN THE MORNING, AFRICAN SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE LAST LARGE ACREAGE SUBDIVISIONS IN THE CITY OF BATON ROUGE ARE IN LOCATED IN THAT AREA.
THEY GOT SOME, THEY GOT SOME, ONE GUY THAT GOT A HOUSE DOWN THERE BIGGER THAN HE WAS BIGGER
[01:00:01]
THAN HIS LABORATORY.AND ONLY THING WE ASKED HIM, MR. LITTLE FOLKS, WE HAVE A LITTLE SMALL HOUSE.
AND TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE TALKING ABOUT THE TRACK, MY TRACK IS ABOUT EIGHT AND A HALF ACRES AND I'VE GOT 180 FOOT FRONT.
THAT'S A WIDER THAN A FOOTBALL FIELD.
YOU COULD PUT MCKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL, CAPITAL HIGH SCHOOL, A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL, ALL ON MY PROPERTY AND NOT HEALTH, ANY CROWDING.
AND HE'S GOTTEN MORE PROPERTY THAN ME.
AND IF HE DECIDES HE WANTS TO EXPAND HIS BUSINESS, I'M SURE MR. GROWL WILL SAY, HEY, THEY KNOW WHAT HE'S IS.
WE'VE DONE THIS ONE TIME, JUST GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN.
BUT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE ALL HAVE WATERWHEELS WHEN I WENT TO THE PARENTS' WATER COMPANY TO SEE IF I COULD GET WATER ON MY PROPERTY.
HE SAID, AT THIS TIME THIS WAS BACK IN THE NINETIES, IT WAS SEND MY PARCEL.
MY DOLLAR A FOOT IS PROBABLY $10 A FOOT TO MOVE FROM DOWNTOWN TIGER BEING TO COME ON DOWN, UM, WOMACK ROAD, LET, LET THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE THERE AND HAVE A HOME THERE LIVE THERE.
WE DON'T HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HIM HAVING HIS PORTA-POTTY BUSINESS, WHERE IT IS NOW.
IT DOESN'T AFFECT ANYBODY, BUT IF HE ISN'T ALLOWED TO CHANGE THE CODE, HE'LL CHANGE THE WHOLE NATURE OF THE AREA.
AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
NOW I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKER CORDS THAT WE, UH, MR. HOGAN, WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY CORDS.
SO AT THIS TIME I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR A FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL.
IF HE CHOOSES TO SPEAK, NO PROBLEM.
UH, UH, I DON'T A FAN AND I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN OR EXPANSION WITH EXPANSION IS ONLY BUSINESS OFFICE BUILDINGS LIKE ANY OTHER OFFICE.
SO THERE'S NO ACTUAL OPPRESSION OR WELL DISPOSAL OR STORES.
YOU'RE READY, JOHN, ON THESE THREE LOFT, JUST PURELY FOR ADMINISTRATION.
THAT WOULD NOT MY VIEW, BUT ANYMORE IMPACT ON THE USE OF THE LAND THAT YOU ALREADY KNEW AND ENABLED TO USE IT AS YOU OR, UM, OTHER THAN ANY SO PLAN THAT EVERYONE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD HAS EXPERIENCE.
SO THAT'S ALL THEY WOULD HAVE WOULD BE THEY SHOW UP JUST LIKE Y'ALL BOUGHT THE WATER.
WELL, I'M SURE THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR OWN WATER AS WELL.
WELL, WELL, WHAT'S THAT BEING SAID? UH, LIKE I SAID, I APPRECIATE UNDERSTAND THAT THE TIRE, BUT NOT THE IMPACT THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR.
ANYTIME, ANY OPERATION OR ANY CHEMICAL AT ANYTIME TO THE PROPERTY OTHER THAN
COMMISSION MEMBERS AT THIS TIME, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANY QUESTIONS.
COMMENTS, VICE CHAIRMAN GROWL.
IF HE COULD COME BACK UP TO THE PODIUM,
[01:05:01]
PLEASE.YOU AND SAID THAT YOU ARE DEVELOPING THIS FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES.
ARE YOU ALL DEVELOPING ALL 19.5 ACRES AS OFFICES OR NOT? NOT THE WHOLE PROPERTY? NO.
THAT WERE BARKING, BUT ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE 19.5 ACRES OF OFFICE AND PARKING? DO YOU KNOW THE SQUARE FOOTAGE? HOW MANY? NO, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE RESIDENT WILL, I BELIEVE SHE FOUR.
BUT IF WE, IF WE REZONED THIS TO GENERAL OFFICE, WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE ENTIRE PROPERTY IS NOW OPEN TO GENERAL OFFICE.
UM, CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW THIS IS A BUFFER BETWEEN THE BUSINESS AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS BY MAKING IT GENERAL OFFICE.
I MEAN, IF YOU WERE, IF YOU WOULD COME TO ASK FOR A PORTION OF THAT TO BE DONE, THAT'S ONE THING, BUT YOU'RE ASKING FOR THE ENTIRE THREE PIECES OF PROPERTY TO BE ZONED GENERAL OFFICE, WHICH MEANS IT OPENS, I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
IT OPENS EVERYTHING UP TO GENERAL OFFICE, CORRECT.
SO YOU COULD COME BACK AND PUT 19.5 ACRES OF GENERAL OFFICE BUILDING ON HERE.
AND I HAVE A BIG CONCERN WITH THAT.
I THINK THE NEIGHBORS ARE CORRECT THAT YOU HAVE AN ONGOING BUSINESS.
YOU HAVE A BUFFER NOW, UH, ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN, UM, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT, UH, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW.
THEY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SO LONG AS YOU STAY DOING THAT AND YOU'RE NOT EXPANDING.
AND I KNOW THAT THE STAFF HAD MADE SOME COMMENTS AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION, WHICH I CONCUR WITH.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WOULD COME AND ASK FOR LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE 200 FEEDBACK AND SOME FRONTAGE TO BUILD AN OFFICE BUILDING FOR THE BUSINESS, THAT'S ONE THING, BUT YOU'RE ASKING FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY TO BE RESOLVED.
AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION COMMISSION ALLIES OR I'LL GET SECOND COMMISSIONER COMMENTS.
IT'S HISTORICALLY, AT LEAST I'LL SPEAK FOR MYSELF AS ATTEMPT TO MOVE FORWARD ON AN ITEM THAT STAFF THAT'S NOT RECOMMENDED FOR VERBAL.
SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I'LL PUT IT OUT THERE.
THERE'S A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER ALLEN TO A DENIED AS ITEM SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER STERLING.
ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS SAYING ON THOSE ITEMS HAVE BEEN DENIED COMMISSION
[8. Case 42-20 14890 Old Hammond Highway]

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, CASE 42 21 FOUR EIGHT NINE ZERO HAMMOND HIGHWAY 2014, EIGHT 90 ALL HAMILL HIGHWAY, THE PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ALL HARMAN HIGHWAY IN LAKEMONT DRIVE CONSTITUTE THESE EIGHT AMAR.ALSO THE APPLICANT IS THAT EO GALVAN MORTGAGE, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO RESOLVE FROM RURAL TO NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, NC AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE, AND C A B PROPOSED USE RESTAURANTS SERVING ALCOHOL FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER, CASE 42, 2014, EIGHT 90 ALL HAMILL HIGHWAY STAFF CERTIFIES THAT THE PROPOSED REQUEST MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR A CHANGE OF ZONING.

WE HAVE THE APPLICANT OR APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK
[01:10:01]
IF SO, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.I LIVE IN A 1444, 74, 14 PALADIN DRIVE AND BEN ROACH.
AND, UH, I APPLY FOR THE RESTAURANT AND OUR APARTMENT.
I WAIT AND I, WE WILL REGARD GOD THE BUILDING IN THERE WITH A NISSAN LIKE, UM, CONVENIENCE STORE AND WE SELL LIQUOR OR WARY AND I TO MAKE ATTACHMENT.
AND THE SITE FOR A RESTAURANT IS NOT GOING TO BE A BAR OR ANYTHING.
IT'S GOING TO BE A, LIKE A FAMILY RESTAURANT.
WE APPLIED TO SELL LIQUOR BECAUSE EVERYBODY OVER HERE, WHEN DO YOU GO TO IT, TO THE RESTAURANT? YOU LIKE TO ENJOY A BEER OR WINE OR MARGARITA OR WHATEVER.
DO YOU LIKE TO DRINK? THERE'S THE PROPOSAL TO GO TO APPLY FOR A LIQUOR LICENSE, BUT NOT TO NOBODY TO GET DRUNK OVER THERE.
AND WE FACE ALL I WAIT, WE DON'T BOTHER NOBODY.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? NO, THERE'S FINE.
WOOD WOOD, WHICH HAS TRIED TO MAKE A BLEEDER RESTAURANT RIGHT THERE.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK PROPONENTS FIRST FOLLOWED BY ANY OPPOSITION? NO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
WE HAVE SEVERAL COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION THAT I'LL READ INTO THE RECORD AT THIS TIME.
THE FIRST IS FROM YVONNE MATTHEWS.
NOT ONLY FOR ME AS THE FIRST HOME ON LAKEMONT DRIVE, BUT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE, IT WILL ENCOURAGE MORE NOISE AND COMMOTION THAT IS ALREADY OCCURRING AT THE CARWASH DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET.
TO NOW ADD AN ALCOHOL RESTAURANT TO THE MIX COULD BE A DISASTER.
AS A FOOD WAGON, CONSIDERED A RESTAURANT.
ONE IS PARKED AT THE STORE AND NOW I FEEL THAT HAVING PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT AFTER DRINKING IS A BAD IDEA WITH OLD RIVER OAKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS A BLOCK AWAY.
TRAFFIC CONGESTION COULD BE A PROBLEM.
OUR PROPERTY VALUE WOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE AFFECTED.
PLEASE TAKE THIS UNDER SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.
YOUR DECISION WILL AFFECT OUR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM SHARON VINCENT.
MY NAME IS SHARON VINCENT, MY HUSBAND AND I LIVE IN LAKEMONT PLACE SUBDIVISION OFF OLD HAM AND HIGHWAY.
I SAW THE SUBDIVISION HAS BEEN HERE FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS.
IT IS MADE UP OF A YOUNG MIDDLE AGE AND ELDERLY FAMILIES OF DIFFERENT RACES AND NATIONALITIES WHO ENJOY LIVING IN THIS QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD.
LIKE MY DRIVE IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE SUBDIVISION ON ONE SIDE IS A CAR WASH AND ON THE OTHER IS SAVITA PLUS, WHICH IS A CONVENIENCE STORE THAT HAS TABLES AND SERVES FOOD ON THE PREMISES IS ALSO A FOOD TRAILER.
SAVITA PLUS IS ASKING TO BE REZONED TO ALLOW FOR A RESTAURANT THAT CAN SERVE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, NOT IN CONTAINERS AS ARE CURRENTLY SOLD DIRECTLY IN BACK OF THEIR BUILDING.
ABOUT 35 FEET AWAY AS A FAMILY RESIDENCE.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE STRONGLY OPPOSING THE RESTAURANT ALCOHOL PERMITS.
WE'RE CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BECOME A MEETING PLACE THAT COULD BRING WITH IT PROBLEMS THAT WILL SPILL OVER INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE INVITE YOU TO VISIT OUR FAMILY ORIENTED NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS PERMIT AS WE DO NOT WANT OR NEED THE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT THAT AN ALCOHOL PERMIT IS LIKELY TO INVITE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF OUR REQUEST TO DENY THESE PERMITS.
FROM JAMIL SMITH TAX DOLLARS MATTER.
WE ARE A 15 YEAR RESIDENT AT 1170 LAKEMONT DRIVE.
I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF MES SAVEDA PLUS SERVING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN THE MIDST OF THE SCHOOL ZONE.
THIS IS UNSAFE FOR OUR CHILDREN AND PUTS OTHERS AT RISK WHO MAY NOT DRINK RESPONSIBLY WHILE DRINKING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AT MISA BETA.
PLUS PROVIDING THE SERVICE AT THIS SPECIFIC LOCATION WILL MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DRINKING AT THE LOCATION, THEN POSSIBLY DRIVING OFF UNDER THE INFLUENCE IS DANGEROUS WITHIN A SCHOOL ZONE WHERE CHILDREN ARE WALKING THE STREETS WITH THAT BEING SAID, I DO WANT TO VOICE OUR PROPOSAL AND ASK A QUESTION IN SO MANY AREAS, THE ROADS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED AND DOUBLED IN SIZE AS A BENEFIT TO TAXPAYERS AND TRAVELERS TO USE THOSE ROADS O'NEAL LANE HAS EXPANDED JONES CREEK ROAD HAS EXPANDED.
FERRY HAS EXPANDED MILLERSVILLE ROAD HAS EXPANDED QUESTION.
WHY NOT OLD HAMMOND HIGHWAY LOCATED FROM THE CORNER OF MILLERSVILLE? THE OATMEAL LANE HAS NOT EXPANDED.
I'M A TAXPAYER AND I AM DEMANDING NEWLY IMPROVED AND EXPANDED ROLE IN THIS AREA.
ASAP I WROTE IMPROVEMENT NEEDS INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO.
WE NEED DOUBLE LANES ON BOTH SIDES FOR SMOOTHER TRAFFIC FLOW AND LESS TRAFFIC JAMS. WHEN WRECKED ARE ON AD 12, THERE ARE MANY TRAVELERS WHO TAKE THIS PATTERN AS A DETOUR IN ORDER TO GO
[01:15:01]
AROUND ACCIDENTS, CAUSING HEAVY TRAFFIC.WE NEED SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES THAT STRETCH FROM MILLERSVILLE NEIL LANE.
THE SIDEWALKS WILL PROVIDE SAFER WALKING PATHS FOR COMMUNITY CHILDREN, WALKING TO SCHOOL WITH PEOPLE WHO RIDE THEIR BIKES AND EXERCISE AND SAVE ON POLLUTION FROM RIDING CARS TO THE LOCAL DOLLAR STORES AND CORNER STORES, BECAUSE WE CAN WALK TO THOSE PLACES.
INSTEAD, PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE AND LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN START A PETITION AND I WILL HELP GET IT OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
PLEASE ALLOW OUR TAX DOLLARS TO WORK FOR SO MANY IN THIS PART OF TOWN WE NEEDED AND WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL.
FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT ANYTIME OUR TAX DOLLARS MATTER FROM JOHN MCMILLIAN, THIS CHANGE WILL TRANSFORM A SAFE, QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD AND LOWER THE PROPERTY VALUES OF HOMEOWNERS WHOSE LIFE SAVINGS HAVE BEEN INVESTED IN THE HOMES.
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN FROM EMMA SUTTON.
THIS WOULD BE A BAD DECISION, NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE, IT WILL ENCOURAGE MORE NOISE AND COMMOTION THAT THEN IS ALREADY OCCURRING AT THE CAR WASH DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET.
SO NOW ADD AN ALCOHOL RESTAURANT TO THE MIX COULD MAKE THINGS WORSE AT THIS CORNER.
I FEEL THAT HAVING PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT AFTER DRINKING IS A BAD IDEA WITH OLD HAMMOND HIGHWAY CONGESTED ROADWAY.
I WOULDN'T WANT PEOPLE DRIVING INTOXICATED THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET TO A STOP LIGHT, WHICH I FEEL WOULD OCCUR.
RIVER OAKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS A BLOCK AWAY.
SO THE ESTABLISHMENT WOULD BE IN A SCHOOL ZONE.
PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS REZONING.
THIS WOULD BE A BAD DECISION, NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE, IT WOULD ENCOURAGE MORE NOISE AND COMMOTION THAT IS ALREADY OCCURRING AT THE POWER'S DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET.
NOW IN ALCOHOL RESTAURANTS IN THE MIX CAN MAKE THINGS WORSE AT THIS CORNER.
I FEEL THAT HAVING PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT AFTER DRINKING IS A BAD IDEA.
SO HAVING A HIGHWAY, I CAN JUST THE ROADWAY.
I WOULDN'T WANT PEOPLE DRIVING INTOXICATED THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET A STOPLIGHT, WHICH I FEEL WOULD OCCUR.
REMOTE'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS A BLOCK AWAY.
SO THE ESTABLISHMENT WOULD BE IN A SCHOOL ZONE.
PLEASE DID NOT APPROVE THIS REZONING.
AND WE HAVE FROM MARK SUTTON, WHICH IS A DUPLICATE OF THAT SAME MESSAGE AT THIS TIME, I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR A FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL.
WE GOING TO MAKE THE, ALL THE APPLICATION REQUIRED FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY OF BITES ON ROADS.
WE'RE GOING TO GO HAVE A WALL IN THE BACKSIDE.
THEY ALWAYS THROW IT UP AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO THE CT.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I DON'T WHAT I WAS SAYING AND SAY, OKAY.
AND THE HIGHWAY IS GOING TO BE DOUBLE LANE.
AND THE NEXT YEAR I GOT THE LETTER OR WHEREVER THE SEAT.
AND THEN THEY WANT YOU TO MAKE THAT VOICE ALL FARM ON HIGHWAY.
AT THIS TIME I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THIS ITEM, MR. CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, A CITIZEN, AND ASKED HIM QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA, STEPH DID RESPOND TO THEM CONFIRMING THAT THIS SEGMENT OF OLD HAMMOND IS SCHEDULED FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING SIDEWALKS AND ADDITIONAL LANES.
WE SHARED THAT INFORMATION CONFIRMING IT IS ON MOVIE, OR, AND THEY THANKED US FOR SENDING THAT OVER IN A TIMELY MANNER.
COMMISSION MEMBERS, QUESTIONS, OR COMMENTS OR MOTIONS.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT, PLEASE COME BACK TO THE PODIUM.
DID YOU TRY TO GO IN THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR SPEAK TO THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION ABOUT YOUR DESIRE TO TRY TO START A RESTAURANT, EXPLAIN IT.
DID YOU TRY TO SPEAK TO THE HOMEOWNERS
[01:20:01]
ASSOCIATION? NO.NOBODY TOLD ME NOTHING ABOUT IT.
I JUST GOT YOU SAYING THAT YOU SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF OPPOSITION TO STARTING A RACE BROUGHT THERE, AND IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE WERE SURPRISED BY IT.
YOU ALREADY HAVE AN OPERATION THERE.
AND IT SEEMS LIKE IF YOU WOULD SPEAK TO THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET SOME SUPPORT.
UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU NEED TO RETHINK YOUR RESTAURANT AT THAT LOCATION AND MAYBE TRY TO FIND ANOTHER LOCATION.
BUT I THINK YOU ALSO NEED TO SPEAK TO THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, WHEREVER YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IT.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT NEAR A RESIDENTIAL AREA, BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T TYPICALLY GET LIKE PLACES THAT ARE GOING TO SERVE ALCOHOL AT THE FRONT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO THAT'S MY 2 CENTS, BUT THEIR BEST POTENTIAL AREA IS IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING HAVE FACED INTO THE OLD HIGHWAY HIGHWAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE ALWAYS COMMERCIAL.
I'M NOT GOING TO A COMMERCIAL AREA.
I'M NOT GOING TO BOTHER NOBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THEY ENDED UP BACK.
MY PARKING LOT IS NOT GOING TO GO TO THE NEIGHBOR IS GOING TO THROW IT OUT TO THE HIGHWAY.
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS HAS HAS, UH, THIS IS AN COUNCILWOMAN, I'M A ROTOS DISTRICT.
HAS SHE WEIGHED IN OR COMMENTED ON THIS ITEM ON THE ISLAND? SHE IS AWARE OF IT, BUT THEN NOT SHARE WITH ME HER POSITION.
AS OF NOW IT'S SCHEDULED TO GO BEFORE HER ON OCTOBER 20, FIRST TO THE COUNCIL.
AS OF NOW, IT'S TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED TO GO ON TO THIS PART AND COUNCIL, OCTOBER 21ST, IF THE COUNCIL ZONING, ANYTHING ELSE? COMMISSIONER COLLINS.
MR. CHAIR, DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, SIR.
VICE CHAIRMAN GROW QUESTION FOR THE DIRECTOR.
THE COMMENT WAS MADE UP THAT THIS ISN'T A SCHOOL DISTRICT, UH, UNDERSTANDING, AND CERTAIN YOU ALL HAD LOOKED AT THE, UH, DISTANCES FROM THE SCHOOL.
DOES THIS MEET THE, THOSE DISTANCES FOR CAB DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS? IT DOES.
UM, I'M JUST, IF I CAN HAVE HALF A SECOND HERE JUST TO CHAIRMAN, UM, CURRENTLY IT'S A CONVENIENCE STORE AND ALREADY SELLS PACKAGE LIQUORS TO GO.
A RESTAURANT IS NOT GOING TO SERVE PACKAGED LIQUORS TO GO.
UH, THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING WHERE PEOPLE WOULD CONSUME ON SITE.
UH, TO MY MIND, HAVING A RESTAURANT IS A MORE PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT IN A COMMUNITY THAN HAVING A, UH, A CONVENIENCE STORE AND CONVENIENCE STORES ARE FAR HIGHLY TRANSITORY.
AND AS WE LEARNED LAST MONTH IN, UH, UH, WITH ANOTHER, UM, CONVENIENCE STORE THAT WANTED TO GO IN AND THERE WAS A LOT OF OPPOSITION BECAUSE OF THE TRANSITORY NATURE OF CONVENIENCE STORES.
SO I THINK THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT GOING FORWARD OR A RESTAURANT.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF RESTAURANT YOU'RE WANTING TO PUT IN, SIR, BUT I KNOW THAT IF, YOU KNOW, IF I GO TO A RESTAURANT, AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT OR ANY, EVEN ANY FLAVOR OF RESTAURANT, SOMETIMES I LIKE TO HAVE A BEER.
UM, SO I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE AN IMPROVEMENT FROM THE COMMISSIONER GRANT.
PARDON? THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TOO MANY.
I, YOU CAN, YOU CAN ASK, YOU CAN ASK MY WIFE AT ABOUT, AT ABOUT THREE.
I GIVE UP AND THAT'S THREE IN A WHOLE EVENING, BUT THAT'S RISKY.
A LONG STORY SHORT IS I THINK THIS WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE AREA.
THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM VICE CHAIRMAN GROUT TO APPROVE THIS ITEM.
IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION? THERE'S A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER ALLEN.
ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO APPROVING THIS ITEM? I OBJECT
[01:25:01]
AS AN OBJECTION FROM COMMISSIONER HAWTHORNE.ARE THERE, ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL OBJECTIONS SAYING ON THAT ITEM IS APPROVED MR. MEMBERS
[9. ISPUD-5-20 Midway]
AT THIS TIME WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER NINE.I SPOT FIVE, 20 MIDWAY 41 OH NINE GOVERNMENT STREET.
THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT NORTH SIDE OF GOVERNMENT STREET, EAST OF EDISON, THE STREET CONCEALED, THESE TRICKS SEVEN COLD.
THE APPLICANT IS MAEVE WEIGHT, 30 LLC.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A HIGH DENSITY.
THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS MIXED USE.
I SPOT FIVE MIDWAY 41 OH NINE GOVERNMENT STAFF CERTIFIES THAT THE PROPOSED REQUEST.
IT'S THE MINIMUM CRITERIA FOR A CHANGE IN ZONING.
BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING USES AND CONFORMING TO UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS.
DO WE HAVE THE APPLICANT OR APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? IF SO, PLEASE STATE YOUR INSTRUMENT ADDRESS.
ERIC PIAZZA, 400 CONVENTION STREET, SUITE 1100 BATTERY OR SEVEN OH EIGHT OH TWO.
I REPRESENT THE APPLICANT, MY COACH TRUMP WHO'S THE DEVELOPER OF A 34 UNIT MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON GOVERNMENT STREET.
THE REQUEST IS THE REASON OWNED FROM SAVE WATER.
BUT THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN AN OVERLAY DISTRICT AND THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REQUIRES SOME DIFFERENT SETBACKS THAT ARE, UH, THAT WE REALLY NEED AN ICE ICEBERG TO MAKE IT WORK.
THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE CLAN ROSE GROCERY AND WAS PURCHASED FROM THE CLIENT ROSE FAMILY.
IT'S LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO LA CORETTA.
THE DEVELOPER CONTACTED COUNCILMAN COLE, CAPITOL HEIGHTS AND BERNARD TERROR, CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS, AND THE MID CITY REDEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE.
WE HAVE WRITTEN SUPPORT LETTERS FROM EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS, ALONG WITH THE MID CITY REDEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE, WHICH HELD NUMEROUS MEETINGS AND ALLOW PEOPLE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
WE'LL HOPE YOU'LL HAVE YOUR SUPPORT TONIGHT.
DID WE HAVE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK OPPONENTS FIRST FOLLOWED BY THE OPPONENTS OF THE PUBLIC ARE HERE TO SPEAK.
WE HAVE ONE MESSAGE AND OPPOSITION THAT I'LL READ AT THIS TIME FROM BOTH WHITE.
I OWN SEVERAL HOMES ON EDISON STREET ADJACENT TO THIS PROPOSED NEW DEVELOPMENT.
AS WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN THE AREA.
HOWEVER, THE NUMBER OF UNITS AND ACCESS POINT ONTO EDISON STREET AS A MAJOR CONCERN, EXITING TO EDISON AND WITH LAUGHER RETTA ALSO ALIGNED ON THE SAME CORNER.
THERE WAS ONLY A SINGLE RED LIGHT TO EXCESS GOVERNMENT STREET.
HOW WILL 20 PLUS CARS PARK AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXIT? THIS SEEMS LIKE A NIGHTMARE FOR TRAFFIC, A HAZARD FOR ACCESS FOR OUR STREET, PEDESTRIAN CORNERS.
IT SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER ENTRANCE FROM GOVERNMENT WOULD HELP THIS ISSUE OR LOWER THIS NUMBER OF UNITS, HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRAFFIC OR PARKING REVIEW BE DONE, OR MAYBE LIMIT THE VOLUME OF UNITS AND PARKING SPOTS.
AT THIS TIME, I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOUR OR FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE OPPOSITION.
THE GOVERNMENT STREET OVERLAY DISTRICT REQUIRES ALL BUILDINGS TO BE PULLED UP AND TO FRONT ON GOVERNMENT STREET.
IT'S DESIGNED BY THE OVERLAY DISTRICT IS SUPPOSED TO ENHANCE WALKABILITY AND THEY DON'T ALLOW THE OVERLAY DISTRICT WILL NOT ALLOW TRAFFIC COME DIRECTLY OFF OF GOVERNMENT STRAIGHT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO WALK UP AND DOWN THE SIDEWALK.
AND THAT'S THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE OVERLAY DISTRICT ALSO, UM, DOTD WOULD LIKELY TELL YOU THAT THAT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE PEOPLE PULLING IN AND OUT RIGHT NEAR A RED LIGHT, AND THEY WOULD WANT YOU TO USE THE RED LIGHT.
SO REALLY THE DESIGN IS DONE TO COMPLY WITH THE DISTRICT AND FOR DOTD STANDARDS.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER MEMBERS AT THIS TIME, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ANY MORE.
THERE'S A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER COLLINS LEWIS TO APPROVE AS

THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AS THREE 20 HAREM POINT STAFF CERTIFIES THAT THE PROPOSED REQUESTS MEETS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF THE EDC FOR PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION.
DO WE HAVE THE APPLICANT OR APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? IF SO, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
EVEN THIS WAS ROSS BRUCE AND BRUCE DEVELOPMENT ARE AWARE THE APPLICANT'S ADDRESS FOR FOUR 69 BLUEBONNET BOULEVARD.
BATON ROUGE ARE FROM DAN BRUCE DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSING A 53 LOT RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION CALLED HERON.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS 12.92 ACRES IN CURRENTLY ZONED RURAL.
WE HAVE SPENT OVER ONE YEAR ON PLANNING AND STUDIES TO ENSURE THAT NOT ONLY WE MEET AND OR SURPASS ALL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, BUT THAT WE DO NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR NEIGHBORS.
EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE PROPOSED A PRELIMINARY PLAT CONSISTING OF 72, ZERO LOT LINE LOSS AND A REZONING OF THE PROPERTY FROM RURAL RURAL TO EIGHT TO SIX.
THIS PROPOSAL WAS MET WITH HEAVY OPPOSITION FROM THE NEIGHBORS.
WE VOLUNTARILY WITHDREW OUR REZONING APPLICATION IN MAY OF 2020 AND HAVE RESUBMITTED THE APPLICATION THAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, PRELIMINARY PLAT WE'RE SEEKING APPROVAL FOR TONIGHT, COMPLIES WITH THE CURRENT RULES ZONING OF THE PROPERTY.
THEREFORE A REZONING OF THE PROPERTY IS NO LONGER REQUESTED AS REQUIRED BY CODE.
WE HAVE SUBMITTED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT, AS WELL AS A JAX BY YOU.
DRAIN IS CAPACITY ANALYSIS, WHICH SHOWS THAT JACK'S BODY WAS DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE STORM ON.
SO FROM THE PROPOSED PROJECT CITY ENGINEERS AND THE SUBDIVISION DEPARTMENT HAVE REVIEWED THESE STUDIES AND HAVE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF OUR CASE ON JULY 16TH, 2020, WE MET WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE PARK VIEW OATS CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
WE LISTENED TO ALL CONCERNS GATHERED BY THE BOARD FROM THEIR MEMBERS.
THEIR CONCERNS WERE PRIMARILY DRAINAGE, TRAFFIC, CONSTRUCTION TIMES PLANS FOR SEWER AND THEIR EXISTING ENTRANCE MEDIAN AT PARK FOREST DRIVE AND JEFFERSON HIGHWAY.
THE MEETING WENT VERY WELL AS WE WERE ABLE TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS AND BOTH PARTIES AGREED TO WORK TOGETHER.
THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE BROUGHT UP TO US WHAT WAS EXISTING DRAINAGE ISSUES ALONG THE EASTERN PROPERTY LINE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS AND SUFFICIENT GRADES AND DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE WERE FAILING TO TAKE CARE ARE FAILING TO TAKE CARE OF EVEN THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF RAIN.
WE AGREED TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORS ONSITE TO PROPERLY ASSESS AND DETERMINE WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT.
ON AUGUST 5TH, 2020, WE MET WITH A FEW MEMBERS OF THE PARKVIEW OAK CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND FIVE OF THE EIGHT ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOP.
THIS MEETING TOOK PLACE ON LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS, VERY YOUNG AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED THEIR EXISTING DRAINAGE PROBLEMS IN THE REAR YARDS OF SEVERAL OF THESE HOMES.
WE INFORMED THE NEIGHBORS THAT WE'D BE INSTALLING REAR YARD DRAINAGE, INLETS, AND UNDERGROUND PIPING ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE.
AND THAT I FELT VERY CONFIDENT WE COULD GET MOST OF THEIR EXISTING DRAINAGE ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF.
THE NEIGHBORS SEEMED RECEPTIVE AND VERY PLEASED WITH THIS IDEA REGARDING TRAFFIC, THE MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE RESIDENTS AND ASSOCIATION OR THE CURRENT CARPOOL LINES FOR DROP OFF AND PICKUP OF CHILDREN AT PARKVIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BACKING UP ON PARK FOREST DRIVES THE RESIDENTS FEEL THAT BETTER USE OF THE SELDOM USE SIDE STREETS, MAYBE BETTER.
WE ADDED THAT THE ADDITIONAL PUBLIC STREETS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD MAYBE BENEFIT THE SITUATION AS WELL.
[01:35:01]
TO MEET WITH THE ASSOCIATION BOARD AND EITHER EBR SCHOOL BOARD REPS, OUR PARK FOREST ELEMENTARY LEADERSHIP, TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THE CORPORAL ISSUES THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY HAVING.THE NEIGHBORS ALSO HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT SEWAGE CURRENTLY PUMP STATION NUMBER ONE 48, WHICH SERVES A GREAT MANY RESIDENTS IN THIS AREA IS OVER CAPACITY.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH DVR DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES ON THIS ISSUE.
IF HERON POINT IS APPROVED INDICATIONS BY DES OFFICIALS IS THAT DAN BRUCE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO UPGRADE PUMP STATION ONE 48, NOT ONLY TO HANDLE THE NEW CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS OF OUR PROPOSED SUBDIVISION, BUT ALSO BROUGHT UP TO CAPACITY TO HANDLE EXISTING DEMANDS THAT AREN'T CURRENTLY MET.
WE WOULD WORK CLOSELY WITH D S STAFF TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IN A FAIR AND EQUITABLE MANNER WHILE ADDRESSING ALL OF THE SEWER DEMANDS BEING PLACED ON PUMP STATION ONE 48, THE END RESULT WOULD BE A BETTER PERFORMING PUMP STATION FOR ALL RESIDENTS IN THE AREA AND THE CITY.
WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO PUT UP AN EIGHT FOOT PERIMETER FENCE ON THE WEST, SOUTH AND EAST BOUNDARIES OF OUR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
FINALLY, WE HAVE AGREED TO ASSIST ASSOCIATION WITH THEIR EXISTING PROBLEMS AT THE ENTRANCE OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AT JEFFERSON HIGHLAND.
ALTHOUGH THIS ENTRANCE IS APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF MILE FROM THE ENTRANCE OF OUR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, WE HAVE COMMITTED OUR EXPERIENCE EXPERTISE AND A FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE ASSOCIATION IN ORDER TO BEAUTIFY AND WORK WITH THEM AND HELP THEM RESOLVE THE ISSUES THAT ARE CURRENTLY HAVE.
I'D LIKE TO ADD MY BUSINESS PARTNER.
CIVIL ENGINEERS, DEREK MURPHY, JR.
AND JEFF DIAMOND WOOD QUALITY ENGINEERS.
AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK PROPONENTS FIRST FOLLOWED BY ANY AND OPPOSITION? NO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK.
WE HAVE ONE MESSAGE AND SUPPORT THAT I WILL READ IN FOR THE RECORD FROM LORRAINE SLADE.
I AM IN FAVOR OF SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING ONE.
THE MAJORITY OF RESIDENTS IN PARKVIEW OAKS WERE NOT INVITED TO THE DISCUSSION AS TO WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT PROPERTIES.
THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH THE BUILDER PRIOR TO STARTING CONSTRUCTION, TO WHAT STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN WITH REGARD TO THE SCHOOL CARPOOL LINE.
THIS CARPOOL LINE ALREADY IS DANGEROUS AND IT TAKES OVER ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.
THE SCHOOL NEEDS TO REDIRECT CARPOOL TO A DIFFERENT SIDE STREET.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION TO THESE COMMENTS.
WE HAVE COMMENTS THAT ARE IN OPPOSITION.
THAT'LL BE READ INTO THE RECORD AT THIS TIME FROM WILLIAM CORP UNDER THIS LOCATION FOR THE NUMBER OF HOMES TO BE BUILT HAS ONLY ONE ENTRY EXIT POINT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND ADJACENT TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT ALREADY CREATES A HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC.
THERE'S NEW SUBDIVISION WILL MAKE THAT EVEN WORSE AND DEFINITELY NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN AND RESIDENTS.
I STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS ISSUE FROM WILLIAM JOKES, MORE OF A TRAFFIC PROBLEM WITH PARK VIEW SCHOOL ON THE, ON THE ONLY STREET INTO SUBDIVISION FROM MICKEY MICKEY DUBIOUS ARCVIEW OAK SUBDIVISION DID NOT FLOOD IN 2016.
HOWEVER, THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOES FLOOD DURING COMMON TORRENTIAL RAINS.
THIS IS BECAUSE THE CANAL THAT RUNS ROUGHLY FROM WEST TO EAST AND EVENTUALLY TIES INTO CLAY CUT BY YOU IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE THE AMOUNT OF WATER FROM ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST 12 YEARS.
SOME HOMES NOW FLOOD DURING BAD DOWNPOURS DUE TO IMPROPERLY IMPROPER WATER MITIGATION ON PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENTS.
FOR EXAMPLE, PARK VIEW ELEMENTARY WAS ALLOWED TO EXPAND IN 2013, 2014 AND NOW PARK BRIAR COURT FLOODS.
MY NEIGHBOR IN FACT NOW HAS SANDBAGS PROPPED UP TO OUR FRONT DOOR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.
AND ANOTHER NEIGHBOR HAS HAD TO INSTALL A SUBTERRANEAN DRAIN AND SMALL LEVY TO DIVERT WATER.
WHEN IT RAINS HARD, MY WIFE CANNOT DRIVE HER CAR THROUGH THE DEEP WATER, AND I'VE SEEN THE WATER OVER THE TOP OF THE BRIDGE BY ST.
PATRICK'S CATHOLIC CHURCH TWICE IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.
IN ADDITION TO ACCESS TO THIS NEWLY PROPOSED NEIGHBORHOOD WAS DEFINITELY NOT DESIGNED BY SOMEONE WHO HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD OR FOREST BECOMES A CONGESTED PARKING LOT.
WHILE SCHOOL IS IN WITH PARENTS AND SHUTTLE DRIVERS, CLOGGING PARK FOREST, AND LINED UP ON MANY OF THE SIDE STREETS, INCLUDING PARK NOTES, EMERGENCY VEHICLES CANNOT PASS EASILY FROM LARRY AMANY.
THIS IS THE SECOND ATTEMPT BY THIS BUILDING TO CONNECT TO THE PARK VIEW OF SUBDIVISION BY TRYING TO GET IT RESOLVED AT EIGHT EIGHT 2.60 LOT LINE, WHICH DOES NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO WHAT THE ZONING IS FOR THE SUBDIVISION BECAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS OPPOSITION HE FACED.
[01:40:01]
RETURNED WITH A DIFFERENT PROPOSAL AND ONCE THE REZONE 53 LOTS TO RURAL RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THIS IS TOTALLY OUT OF PROPORTION TO OUR SUBDIVISION, AS IT IS ON DAY ONE, HE STILL HAS SHOWN ONLY ONE ENTRANCE AND EGRESS FROM THE NEW SUBDIVISION ON PARKING LOT, WHICH IS ALREADY A TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE DURING SCHOOL.THESE ADDITIONAL HOME SITES WILL ALSO OVERBEAR THE DRAINAGE IN THE AREA AS WELL.
THE PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE IS 4.1 HOMES PER ACRE AND A MINIMUM 6,000 SQUARE FEET COMPARED TO OUR SUBDIVISION AT AWAN WITH A MINIMUM 10,500 SQUARE FEET.
IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE NEW SUBDIVISION WILL DECREASE THE PROPERTY VALUE IN THIS AREA AND CAUSE NUMEROUS TRAFFIC DRAINAGE AND ECONOMIC ISSUES, UNLESS THE BUILDER WANTS TO MATCH THE SAME RESTRICTIONS AS OUR SUBDIVISION.
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION REJECTED THE REZONING MATTER.
RESPECTFULLY LARRY AMITY, JEAN PRINCE TRAFFIC IS ALREADY HORRIBLE TO THE SCHOOL IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON.
THERE'S ALREADY A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH SCHOOL DROP OFF AND PICK UP.
YOU CAN'T GET DOWN PARK FOREST IN THE AFTERNOON.
THIS WILL ONLY MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE FROM ROY DRESS.
I'M WRITING IN TO STRONGLY OPPOSE THE NEW SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT HEROINE POINT.
I'VE LIVED IN THE AREA THAT WILL BE RIGHT BEHIND THIS DEVELOPMENT FOR 25 YEARS.
THE PLAN, THE PLANS CALL FOR OVER 50 HOMES AT ONE ENTRANCE FUNNELING ALL TRAFFIC ONTO ONE STREET, 24 SEVEN.
THIS WILL ADD 100 OR MORE CARS DAILY TO THE SAME STREET THAT HAS TO ACCOMMODATE SCHOOL TRAFFIC FOR PARKVIEW ELEMENTARY.
AND IT DOES A POOR JOB AT THAT ALREADY.
IT IS A TERRIBLE ACCESS POINT.
THEY'RE ALSO FILLING IN WETLANDS TO ACCOMMODATE THE HOUSES THAT WILL IMPACT STORM RUNOFF ONTO MY STREET.
MORE CONCRETE AND LESS WETLANDS TO ABSORB RAIN AS A BAD THING, THE DEVELOPER HAS ZERO VESTED INTEREST IN THE LONGTERM VIABILITY OF THIS PROJECT.
THE DEVELOPER WILL NOT CARE CARE ABOUT ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS BECAUSE THEY WILL BE LONG GONE BY THAT.
THE DEVELOPER IS ONLY INTERESTED IN SQUEEZING AS MANY HOMES ON EVERY SQUARE INCH AS POSSIBLE.
ALSO THE PLANS CALL FOR A WALKING PATH INTO THE BRECK PARK.
WE HAVE FOUGHT VERY HARD TO CHASE THE DRUG DEALERS AND PROSTITUTES OUT OF THAT PARK.
ADDING ANOTHER ENTRANCE WILL EXACERBATE THIS PROBLEM.
THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT NEED TO MOVE FORWARD.
WHO CAN I HOLD LIABLE FOR ANY ALL FUTURE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT FROM OR CHAMBERS? I'M SORRY.
FROM TINKER BELL, I LIVE IN PARK VIEW OAK SUBDIVISION, A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE PROPOSAL ON POINTS OF DIVISION I'M OPPOSED TO THIS NEW SUBDIVISION DRAINAGE AND FLOODING, OR MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE DRAINAGE IN THIS CITY IS BAD ENOUGH AND CAUSES FLOODING AND JUST THE HEAVY RAIN.
I'M AFRAID THAT THE DRAINAGE CONDITIONS WILL GET WORSE WITH MORE HOUSES IN MY AREA.
WE ALSO HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH TRAFFIC THAT CUTS THROUGH PARKVIEW OAKS AT BREAKNECK SPEEDS.
EVEN WITH THE ADDITION OF NEW STOP SIGNS, PARKER STREET IS ONE OF THE RACEWAYS MORE TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH PART VIEW.
OATS WILL ONLY MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE.
PLEASE PUT ME DOWN AS AGAINST HEROIN POINTS OF DIVISION.
THIS IS FROM ELLEN GANACHE FROM DONALD MOORE, THE ADEQUACY OF DRAINAGE FOR MY PROPERTY.
AS A CONCERN, THE BACK HALF OF MY PROPERTY DRAINS INTO THE AREA OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
THE DEVELOPER STATES THAT OUR DRAINAGE WILL BE IMPROVED, BUT I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE IT WOULD.
IF THIS PLAN IS APPROVED, THERE SHOULD BE A MITIGATION PLAN THAT ADDRESSES DRAINAGE DURING THE DEVELOPMENT.
THERE WILL BE MANY MONTHS OF GROUNDWORK AND DEVELOPMENT BEFORE THE FINAL DRAINAGE IS IN PLACE.
WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT PROVISIONS WILL BE MADE DURING DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL ALLOW OUR PROPERTY TO CONTINUE TO DRAIN DURING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND WILL PREVENT THE AREA UNDER, UNDER DEVELOPMENT FROM BACK FLOODING OUR PROPERTY DURING THE DEVELOPMENT.
THIS AREA IS VERY LOW AND DRAINAGE IS CURRENTLY POOR.
DURING MANY MONTHS OF THE YEAR, THERE IS STANDING WATER IN THIS AREA FROM MARIE HAGGARD.
CASSETTO BUILDER IS DEPENDING ON EXISTING DRAINAGE TO TAKE CARE OF HIS COMPLEX, BUT WE ARE ALREADY STRAINING TO MAINTAIN OUR FLOOD ZONE X STATUS.
HE HAS TO BUILD A WATER FEATURE TO ACCOMMODATE HEROINE POINT, OR WE ALL ARE.
WE GET ALL THE BACKFLIP ON THE ONLY EXISTING STREET OUTLET IS WAIVER FOR DRAINAGE.
MEDIATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN DENIED, BUT IF ANY OF YOU CARE TO GO TO THAT STREET, NOW THAT WE ARE BACK TO OUR AFTERNOON DRENCHES, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE ONLY ENTRANCE IS THROUGH OUR SUBDIVISION.
WHY DO WE HAVE TO BE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE BETWEEN OUR RESIDENTS, THEIR RESIDENTS, AND SCHOOL BUSES AND CARPOOLS.
HE NEEDS TO SUBMIT ADEQUATE DRAINAGE, INDEPENDENT OF QUOTE UNQUOTE SURROUNDING EXISTING DRAINAGE AND AT LEAST ONE OTHER EXIT TO A MAJOR OUTLET LIKE TIGER BAND FROM JASON DUNAN REZONING OF THE RURAL AREA TO RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD BE IN CONGRUENCE WITH SURROUNDING RESIDENTS, RESIDENCES OF PART VIEW, OAKS
[01:45:01]
PARK VIEW, OLD SOUTH PARK VIEW OAKS EAST AND SHERWOOD, OLD ZONE, A ONE FURTHER SAFETY AND LOGISTICAL RISK TO EXISTING RESIDENTS AND SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL BE INTRODUCED BY THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC WAIVER REQUESTS FOR DRAINAGE IMPACT STUDIES SHOULD BE DENIED UNDER SECTION 15 POINT 15, PARAGRAPHS B ONE AND B3 PERTINENT TO B ONE, ACCORDING TO AVAILABLE INFORMATION, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT RESULTS IN A GREATER THAN 10% INCREASE PERTINENT TO BE THREE, THE DEVELOPERS AND CAPABLE OF SUBMITTING SUFFICIENT INFORMATION INDICATING THE RUNOFF FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DISCHARGES TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT, HAVING ADEQUATE DRAINAGE FACILITIES, BECAUSE ONE, ANY CLAIM OR DRAINAGE ADEQUACY MUST BE BASED ON A D I S FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS NONEXISTENT OR A DIS FOR THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT AND TO A D I S FOR THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT COULD NOT HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR AN UNKNOWN, ALBEIT GREATER THAN 10% PEAK DISCHARGED FROM A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, WHAT'S THE WORST MISTAKE TO MAKE WAY THE DIS AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FLOODS OR DENIED THE WAIVER.AND THE DIS TURNS OUT TO BE A WASTE OF TIME.
KEVIN BLACK, THIS RURAL AREA IS ANY CENTRAL FLOOD PLAIN FOR THE SURROUNDING WELL-ESTABLISHED SUBDIVISIONS.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THE ENVIRONMENT FOR BOTH SUSTAINING DIMINISHING WILD DIVERSITY, BUT ALSO FOR FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE IN AN AREA THAT IS INCREASINGLY DEVELOPED.
BATON ROUGE NEEDS THIS TREE COVER BATON ROUGE NEEDS THE FLOOD PLAIN.
THERE'S ALSO NO INDICATION OF A DRAINAGE IMPACT STUDY.
THE FLOOD CANAL PRESENT IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEROIN POINT.
FURTHERMORE, NEITHER THIS SUBDIVISION NOR BATON ROUGE AS A WHOLE NEEDS INCREASED TRAFFIC.
THIS SUBDIVISION IS PROPOSED IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVILY CONGESTED AREAS.
THIS AREA IS ALSO CLOSE TO A SCHOOL WHERE CHILDREN ENJOY WALKING TO SCHOOL IN THE PARK.
THIS DEVELOPMENT IS BAD FOR THE ECONOMY.
IT GIVES NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT OTHER HOME SELLERS CANNOT COMPETE WITH.
OUR CITIZENS DESERVE BETTER, NOT JUST RICH DEVELOPERS.
LASTLY, EVERY MEMBER OF THIS BOARD SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH FIGHTING BLIGHT.
AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIGHT BLIGHT IS TO OPPOSE THESE DEVELOPMENTS AND LET DEVELOPERS RENOVATE ALREADY RESIDENTIALLY ZONED AREAS.
THAT IS WHAT IS NECESSARY AND PROPER FOR BATON ROUGE.
FOR THOSE REASONS, I OPPOSE THIS DEVELOPMENT AT HEROINE POINT, LET'S JUST ANNA HAGGETT.
EVEN AT 53 HOMES, THERE WERE, THAT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 106 MORE SPEEDING VEHICLES IN THE SUBDIVISION SINCE PARK MEADOW AND PARK FOREST ALREADY HAVE TRAFFIC STUDIES.
UNDER TWO YEARS OLD OUT DEVELOPER PAY FOR THE SPEED BUMPS NEEDED IN THE SUBDIVISION.
THE STOP SIGNS DON'T HELP A BIT.
PEOPLE RUN THEM AND KILL ANIMALS.
THE DEVELOPMENT WILL CAUSE MORE MISPLACED, WILD WILDFIRE AND MORE DEAD ANIMALS DUE TO SPEEDING.
IT IS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT FROM ANNA AND TED POWERS.
WE ARE RESIDENTS OF PARK VIEW OAKS, AND WE VOTE NO TO THE SUBDIVISION.
WE DO NOT NEED MORE TRAFFIC THAT THIS WOULD CREATE, OR THE FLOODING THAT WILL OCCUR UNLESS THESE NEW HOMES ARE LOWER BY 10 TO 15 FEET THAT WE CURRENTLY ARE.
OR THE ISSUES THAT MORE BRAINS FROM ROSE CULVER YOU'RE ON POINT NEEDS TO BE DELAYED UNTIL MORE STUDIES CAN BE PERFORMED ON OVERALL IMPACTS ON TRAFFIC DRAINAGE, POTENTIAL FLOODING AND WILDLIFE.
THE TRAFFIC IS ALREADY OUT OF CONTROL AND THE ADDITIONAL 53 HOMES WILL CAUSE UNDUE CONGESTION.
THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE POINT OF ENTRY EXIT FOR HEROIN POINT ON PARKING LOT AVENUE, WHICH IS NEXT TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OR FOREST DRIVE AS A CUT-THROUGH STREETS.
OF COURSE, FOR MANY PEOPLE THAT DO NOT LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE STOP SIGNS WERE INSTALLED LAST YEAR, BUT THEY HAVE NOT HELPED WITH THE TRAFFIC ON PARK.
FOREST PARK FOREST CONSTANTLY HAS POTHOLES DUE TO THE ALREADY HEAVY TRAFFIC.
THE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD IS ALSO ADJACENT TO PARK VIEW ELEMENTARY, AND MANY OF THE CHILDREN WALK TO THEM FROM SCHOOL.
THEY'RE ON POINT WE'LL HAVE ONLY ONE POINT OF ENTRY EXIT, WHICH IS BESIDE THE SCHOOL.
THERE ARE ALREADY MANY LARGE DELIVERY TRUCKS USING PARKING LOT EACH DAY TO DELIVER TO THE SCHOOL.
THE PROPOSED TRACT OF LAND DOES INCLUDE 1.47 ACRES OF WETLANDS THAT THE DEVELOPER INITIATIVE INITIALLY SUBMITTED PROJECTIONS IN MAY, 2020 TO FILL THE WETLANDS WITH 4,839 CUBIC TDS OF FILL THIS AREA BACKS UP TO MY PROPERTY.
AND EVERYONE ON PARK HILL COURT IS VERY CONCERNED THAT OUR PROPERTY WILL START FLOODING.
THE DRAINAGE FOR HEROIN WILL BE DEVELOPED, DIVERT IT TO JACKS BY YOU, WHICH IS A VERY SMALL BODY TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL DRAIN FROM NEW NEIGHBORHOOD AND EXISTING WETLANDS, 12 ACRE TRACT, MANY, MANY WILDLIFE CREATURES, COYOTES, OWLS, FOXES, ET CETERA.
FROM ANNA POWERS, NO NEW SUBDIVISION.
[01:50:01]
AND DRAINAGE.WE HAVE 650 HOUSE AND OUTSIDE PEOPLE USING THE MAIN STREETS THROUGH AS CUT THROUGHS AND SPEEDING, ET CETERA.
THEN TRAFFIC BACKUPS WITH CARPOOL FOR OUR VIEW ELEMENTARY PLUS THEIR SCHOOL CANNOT HOLD MORE KIDS.
WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY, SEVERAL HOUSES HAVE WATER ALMOST TO THEIR HOUSES DECKS BY YOU CANNOT HOLD MORE WATER WE'RE OPPOSED TO THIS SUBDIVISION, BONNIE SMITH.
I OPPOSED THE HEROINE POINTS OF DIVISION DEVELOPMENT DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION FOR THE SOUTH ENTRANCE AND EXIT OF PARKVIEW OAK SUBDIVISION ON PARK FOREST.
CURRENTLY THERE IS MODERATE TRAFFIC CONGESTION AT THE SOUTH END OF THE SUBDIVISION AS EXITING FROM PARK FOREST DUE TO PARKVIEW BAPTIST CHURCH SCHOOL TRAFFIC CONGESTION THAT REQUIRES A POLICEMEN TO MANAGE THE TRAFFIC NEAR THE SCHOOL, JUST SOUTH OF THE JEFFERSON AND AIRLINE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO COMPOUND THIS.
THERE IS AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ON PARK FOREST AT THE SOUTH ENTRANCE THAT ENTERS AND EXITS ON PARK FOREST.
ADDING TO THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE IS MODERATE TRAFFIC AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON PORT FOREST WITH TRAFFIC CONGESTION RELATED TO STUDENT DROP-OFFS AND PICKUPS.
DURING SCHOOL TIMES, THEY HAD AN ENTIRE SUBDIVISION WITH ONLY A SINGLE ENTRANCE EXIT ON THE BARRIER STREET.
APART FOR US IN THE MIDST OF MODERATE TO SEVERE TRAFFIC FLOW CONGESTION, LEADING TO JEFFERSON AND TO AIRLINE WILL BE DISABLING TO ALL RESIDENTS OF PARK, OLD SUBDIVISION AND THE NEARBY APARTMENT RESIDENCE.
THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR CHILDREN WALKING TO AND FROM SCHOOL FOR POTENTIAL HARM FOR INJURY, ADDUCTION, AND OTHER.
SECONDLY, AS I RESIDE IN PARKVIEW OAKS, I KNOW THAT IS, THAT IS, DOES NOT FLOOD.
HOWEVER, AS WE KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE, INCREASED BUILDING CHANGES THE WATER DRAINAGE OF AN AREA AND WHAT MAY NOT HAVE FLOODED BEFORE MAY CERTAINLY FLOOD AFTER SURROUNDING BUILDING IS COMPLETED DUE TO POOR DRAINAGE AND OR POOR PLANNING.
ROBERT COLVER, A DRAINAGE IMPACT STUDY NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT.
THE 12.92 ACRES IS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF AN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE PUBLIC STORM DRAINS AND PLACE FOR PARKVIEW OWES CAN NOT SUPPORT THE CURRENT AREA.
YOU'RE ON POINT DRAINAGE IS PROPOSED TO DRAIN INTO JACKS BY YOU, WHICH OVERFLOWS INTO THE STREET.
NOW DURING HEAVY RAINS, IT CAN NOT ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL RUNOFF.
MANY RESIDENTS ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT THEIR PROPERTIES WILL FLOOD.
TRAFFIC IS ALSO A MAJOR CONCERN FROM REGINA WEDIG.
I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF REPRESENTING RESTHAVEN GARDENS OF MEMORY AND FUNERAL HOME AND SUBMIT ON THEIR BEHALF A LETTER IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION FOR THE HEROINE POINT DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR CONSIDERATION.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ABOUT MAYBE ASSISTANCE IN DEVELOPING MODIFICATIONS.
TO ME, MY CLIENT'S CONCERNS AND THOSE FOR THE GROUNDING SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
THANK YOU FOR THE CONTINUED COURTESIES OF YOUR OFFICE FROM ALLEN CUP MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION SINCE 1953 RESTHAVEN GARDENS OF MEMORY HAS PROVIDED A PLACE OF PEACE, SERENITY AND SANCTITY FOR THOSE WHO ENTRUST THEIR LOVED ONES TO OUR CEMETERY, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS SITUATED ON THE NORTH BOUNDARY OF EXISTING DEVELOPED AREAS AND ALMOST THE ENTIRE EASTERN BORDER OF OUR PROPERTIES SLATED FOR FUTURE CEMETERY DEVELOPMENT.
WE'LL SURELY INTRUDE ON THE CHARACTER OF THE SPACE.
WE RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT OUR LETTER IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED HEROINE POINT SUBDIVISION REQUEST THE COMMISSION REJECT APPLICATION BECAUSE OF ITS SCOPE AND ANTICIPATED NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON OUR CEMETERY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
HOWEVER, SHOULD YOU BE INCLINED TO VIEW THE APPLICATION FAVORABLY? WE REQUEST CONSIDERATION, BE GIVEN TO REQUIRE MODIFICATION OF THE PROPOSAL TO ADDRESS TWO MAJOR FACTORS, DRAINAGE AND SEPARATION THE LAND AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPING AREA ALREADY DRAINS POORLY.
AND WE WOULD LIKE ASSURANCE THAT DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR PROPERTY WATER THAT NATURALLY DRAINS FROM OUR PROPERTY ONTO THEIRS MUST BE ACCOMMODATED IN ANY DRAINAGE SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED IN THE DEVELOPMENT.
OUR PROPERTY CAN NOT ACCOMMODATE ANY INCREASE IN WATER THAT NATURALLY DRAINS OFF THEIR PROPERTY.
A DRAINAGE IMPACT STUDY WOULD HELP ENSURE CURRENT LEVELS ARE NOT INCREASED.
WE SUGGEST THE COMMISSION CAREFULLY REVIEW ANY SUBMITTED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY TO SUSTAIN ADDITIONAL FLOW.
FOR THESE REASONS WE OPPOSE THE DEVELOPER'S APPLICATION FOR WAIVER OF THESE REQUIREMENTS.
WE DO NOT BELIEVE THE EXISTING DRAINAGE COULD ADEQUATELY SERVICE.
THE CURRENT NEIGHBORING HOUSES ARE ON SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER, LOTS THAN THE PROPOSED NEW DEVELOPMENT.
THESE LARGER LOTS KEEP THE HOUSES ACTIVITY AND NOR NOISE FARTHER FROM OUR GRIEVING VISITORS, THE NEW DEVELOPMENT PLACES, HOUSES AT LEAST 50% CLOSER TO OUR PROPERTY AND GREATLY INCREASED DENSITY.
THIS WILL AMPLIFY ACTIVITY AND NOISE PROJECTED INTO OUR CEMETERY.
WE REQUEST A TALL MINIMUM, EIGHT FOOT PERMANENT
[01:55:01]
BARRIER.WHEN DID STORM PROOF SUCH AS CONCRETE BLOCK OR BRICK TO SCREAM THE NOISE ACTIVITY AND VIEWS OF THE DEVELOPMENT FROM OUR PROPERTY ON ALL CONTINUOUS BOUNDARIES.
WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OR MEET WITH YOU AND YOUR STAFF TO FURTHER EXPLAIN OUR OBJECTIONS AND THEN CONSIDER SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
AT THIS TIME, I WILL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK 45 MINUTE REBUTTAL MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, BUT I'LL DO MY BEST TO TRY TO ANSWER IT ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS, UM, THAT YOU HAVE, BUT ALSO WANT TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IN THE OPPOSITION.
I THINK THERE'S JUST REALLY TWO ISSUES THAT WERE CONTINUALLY BROUGHT UP THROUGH THE OPPOSITION, TRAFFIC AND DRAINAGE.
SO FIRST ON TRAFFIC, I THINK IF YOU REALLY LISTEN TO THE OPPOSITION, MOST OF THOSE STATEMENTS WHERE THAT TRAFFIC IS ALREADY BAD, PEOPLE ARE SPEEDING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
PEOPLE AREN'T FOLLOWING THE RULES AND THEY'RE BREAKING THE SPEED LIMITS.
AND WHILE WE CAN CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THEIR CONCERNS, THOSE ARE NOT THINGS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT OR, AND IT'S ALSO NOT APPROPRIATE TO REQUIRE THIS DEVELOPER TO ANSWER TO THINGS THAT PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE DOING.
PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE SPEED LIMIT.
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO STOP A STOP SIGNS.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CONTROL.
NOW, ONE THING THAT WILL HAPPEN THROUGH THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THAT A TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE WILL BE PAID BY THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY PARISH CAN ACTUALLY TAKE THAT TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE AND USE IT TO MAKE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS ON THE CITY PARISH STREETS IN THAT AREA.
SO IT'S ACTUALLY VERY POSSIBLE THAT THE CITY PARISH CAN TAKE SOME OF THAT MONEY THAT DEVELOPER'S GOING TO PAY AND ACTUALLY IMPROVE TRAFFIC ISSUES, WHETHER IT'S SPEED, BUMPS, STOP SIGNS, LIGHTS, WHATEVER IT WOULD, IT WOULD BE TO HELP THINGS THAT DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY HELP TRAFFIC IN GENERAL.
UM, ONE OTHER THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE CITY PARISH HAS A TRAFFIC ENGINEER THAT LOOKED AT THIS DEVELOPMENT AND ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN.
THAT'S COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF OUR APPLICATION.
AND THAT'S DONE INDEPENDENTLY BY THE CITY TO, TO VERIFY AND ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS THAT THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER FOR THE CITY WOULD HAVE.
AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO COMMENT ON DRAINAGE.
THIS PROPERTY IS NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE.
AND AS THE COMMISSIONERS KNOW, AND THE PUBLIC MAY NOT KNOW IS THAT EVERY DEVELOPMENT PER THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE HAS TO MEASURE THE PEAK WATER FLOW OFF OF THE PROPERTY PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT.
AND WE HAVE TO DESIGN A SUBDIVISION SO THAT THE PEAK FLOW CAN NOT INCREASE AFTER DEVELOPMENT.
SO MANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SAYING THAT WHEN YOU TAKE A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT HAS GRASP AND IS NOT DEVELOP THAT WHEN YOU BUILD ON IT, YOU'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE FLOW OF WATER THAT IS NOT ALLOWED BY THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
SO THE CITY PARISH HAS EXPERTS AND ENGINEERS AND ENTIRE DEPARTMENTS AND THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT THAT LOOKS AT THOSE THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT CANNOT HAPPEN.
SO EVEN THOUGH OUR TR OUR DRAINAGE AND OUR DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERS ARE TELLING YOU ALL THESE THINGS, THE CITY PARISH IS DOING INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION, THOSE THINGS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEVELOPER, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THAT TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC, ALL OF THE PROPERTY ON ALL OF THE PROPERTY THAT SUBS TO THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL DRAIN DIRECTLY INTO JACK'S BY YOU.
IT WILL NOT DRAIN TOWARDS THE EXISTING HOUSES THAT HAVE EXISTING DRAINAGE PROBLEMS. THE DEVELOPERS ACTUALLY AGREED TO INSTALL REAR YARD DRAINAGE TO ACTUALLY HELP SOME OF THE EXISTING DRAINAGE PROBLEMS. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO DO THAT, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ALL OF THE WATER OFF OF THIS PROPERTY AND PUT IT DIRECTLY INTO JACK'S BY U S THE DEVELOPER DID A STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND A SEPARATE DRAINAGE IMPACT CAPACITY ANALYSIS, WHICH I UNDERSTAND MANY OF THE PEOPLE POST SAID THAT THAT DIDN'T EXIST, THAT IN FACT DOES EXIST.
AND THE CITY PARISHES LOOKED AT THAT APPROVED THAT AND SAID THAT IT DOES IN FACT WORK, AND THERE WILL BE NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON JACK'S VOLUME.
THE OTHER THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR REZONING.
THIS IS ONLY FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL.
THIS THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF IS CERTIFIED THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY WAIVER.
SO THIS IS SIMPLY A USE BY RIGHT.
WE'RE SIMPLY COMING IN FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT, NOT FOR REZONING.
AND JUST ONE OTHER POINT, I KNOW IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU HEAR 17 OPPOSITION EMAILS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OPPOSED, BUT THE DEVELOPER WENT AND MET WITH THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION THAT REPRESENTS 650 HOMES THAT SURROUND THIS PROPERTY.
THAT CIVIC ASSOCIATION IS NOT HERE OBJECTING BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON.
WE MET WITH THEM, WE ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS, THE
[02:00:01]
BEST WE COULD.AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE 17 PEOPLE THAT ARE OPPOSED, AND EVEN IF YOU ASSUME THAT ALL 17 LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH THEY MAY NOT, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 2% OF 650 THAT ARE OPPOSE.
THAT MEANS 98% OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH OF A CONCERN TO SEND AN EMAIL.
WHO'S AT THE ENGINEER FOR THIS PROJECT.
THEY CAN ANSWER ANY TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT, TRAFFIC, OR DRAINAGE, CONCERN, OR QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MEMBERS AT THIS TIME, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
NICE CHAIRMAN GROW, OR ME COME FORWARD.
COULD I GET THE ENGINEER COME FORM? HELLO.
MY NAME IS DEREK MURPHY, QUALITY ENGINEERING, ONE EIGHT THREE TWO ZERO HIGHWAY 42 IN PORT VINCENT, LOUISIANA.
CORRECT? WE DID A STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN.
WHICH INCLUDED THE DRAINAGE IMPACTS THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE? YES, SIR.
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS RAISED WAS THE CAPACITY, OR DID YOU ALL EXAMINE THAT OVER CAPACITY? WE EXAMINE THE CAPACITY OF JACKS BY YOU IN GREAT DETAIL.
WE USE THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS OF THE 1970 WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT AND DESIGNED AS WELL AS DATA FROM TODAY, CORRELATED THAT BACK TOGETHER AND REALIZE THAT JACK'S BY YOU DOES HAVE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY, AND THIS DOES NOT HINDER OR ADVERSELY IMPACT JACK'S BY YOU AT ALL.
SO, UH, THAT WAS A ASKED FORCE BY SUBDIVISION ENGINEERING.
THEY ACTUALLY ASSIST THEM STUDY.
WE WORK WITH THEM AND THEY APPROVE, UH, WHAT WE SUBMITTED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH QUESTION FOR THE DIRECTOR.
DO YOU KNOW WHEN PARKVIEW SURF PARKVIEW OAK SUBDIVISIONS WAS DEVELOPED? I DID NOT HAVE THAT DATE.
I GREW UP ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE APPLICANT'S TEAM ON THIS ONE.
UM, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED TO SEE THE LETTER FROM THE CEMETERY THERE.
UM, CONSIDERING IT'S A PRETTY LARGE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY.
I'M JUST KINDA CURIOUS AS TO WHAT KIND OF OUTREACH WENT ON WITH THE FEDEX THERE AND WHAT THAT CONVERSATION WAS THAT OCCURRED.
UM, THERE WERE, THERE WAS OUTRAGE TO ALL OF THE ADJOINING CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS SPECIFIC OUTREACH TO REST HAVEN.
ONE THING I'D LIKE TO MENTION BASED ON THAT LETTER, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WERE NOT ACTUALLY NOT FACTUALLY CONSISTENT IN THAT LETTER.
AND I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS INTENTIONALLY WRITTEN THIS WAY.
THERE WERE THERE'S SOMETHING IN THAT LETTER THAT SAID SOMETHING THAT THE NORTH AND THE EAST SIDE OF THE, THE FUNERAL CEMETERY WOULD BE AFFECTED.
I THINK THIS IS ONLY THE NORTH SIDE.
I THINK THE ENTIRE EASTERN BORDER IS COMPLETELY DEVELOPED WITH EXISTING RESIDENTIAL HOMES.
AND SO WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ALL OF THE EXISTING, UM, HOMES THAT ARE ALREADY CONSTRUCTED.
AND THIS WOULD BE A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
I FEEL CERTAIN THAT, YOU KNOW, FENCES WILL BE THERE.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THERE WILL BE ANY MORE ADVERSE IMPACT COMPARED TO THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S ALREADY RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
COMMISSIONER ALLEN, OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.
TODD STERLING IS SAID HE'S HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ITS TECHNOLOGY, BUT HE MOVES TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, ALO.
[02:05:01]
UH, WHAT WAS THE, UH, HE JUST TEXTS ME THAT ALONE.UH, DONNA PALO, IS THAT, IS THAT ALLOWED WITH THE CURRENT VIEW THAT IT HAS TO BE LOGGED ON TO MAKE IT OR SOMEBODY OUT HE CAN'T I'LL MAKE COMMENTS.
I THINK THAT WAS FROM COMMISSIONER ADDISON.
THAT MADE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.
HE BE NOTED THAT HE WOULD HAVE OKAY.
BUT FOR TECHNOLOGY, HE SAID HE CAN HEAR US, BUT HE CAN'T NOT SPEAK WHERE WE CAN HEAR HIM.
IF STAFF COULD, UH, RECORD THAT COMMISSIONER STERLING, WOULDN'T LIKE TO MADE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUE TO TECHNICAL TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES.
IN HIS ABSENCE, COMMISSIONER ADDISON MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, AND THAT WAS SECONDED BY VICE CHAIRMAN.
GROUT WAS SECONDED BY VICE CHAIRMAN GROUT.
WERE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT? STAYING ON THE ITEM AS APPROVED COMMISSION MEMBERS AT THIS TIME, WE WILL MOVE ON
[15. SS-2-20 Bessie Mills Samuel Property (Flag Lot Subdivision)]
TO ITEM NUMBER 15, SMALL CELL DIVISION, TWO 20 BESSIE MILL, SAMUEL PROPERTYTHE PROPERTY IS LOCATED EAST SIDE OF SAMUEL'S ROAD AND NORTH OF BARNETT ROAD CONCEALED.
THE APPLICANT IS THEREFORE PREMIUMS. THE APPLICANT PROPOSED THREE RESIDENTIAL, LOTS ACCESS BY PUBLIC STREET.
THE FUTURE LAND USE THE SITUATION IS AGRICULTURAL RURAL S S TWO 20 BESSIE MEALS.
SAMUEL PROPERTY FLAT, LOTS OF DIVISION STAFF CANNOT CERTIFY, CERTIFY THE PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CONFORM TO UDC REQUIREMENTS AS FOLLOWS.
SUBMITTAL IS INCOMPLETE AND DOES NOT ADDRESS PC COMMENTS, DRC COMMENTS, AND MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF UDC.
MR. CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT AND ADDRESS THESE ISSUES WITH THE APPLICANT IN THEIR REPRESENTATIVE HAVE BEEN UNRESPONSIVE.
DO WE HAVE THE APPLICANT OR APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? IF NOT, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO DENY.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC? OKAY.
AT THIS TIME, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN THE AND OPEN FOR COMMISSIONER COMMENTS, I BELIEVE IS, UH, COMMISSIONER COLLINS.
LEWIS HAS MADE A MOTION TO DENY THIS ITEM.
IS THERE A SECOND? THERE'S A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER HILL OR ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO DENYING THIS? THIS ITEM HAS BEEN DENIED.
COMMISSION MEMBERS AT THIS TIME,
[COMMUNICATIONS]
WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMUNICATIONS BEGINNING WITH THE DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS, MR. HOAGLAND, CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.I CAN JUST HAVE A FEW QUICK ITEMS, STUFF THAT YOU OWN.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS BEEN MEETING WITH BILL BR ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, AND ALSO WE'VE MET AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 18TH TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL PLANS FOR AN OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT WAS INITIATED BY THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL FOR THE PLANK ROAD CORRIDOR AREA.
OUR OFFICE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CHRIS AND HIS STAFF ON DRAFTING, THE PROPOSED OVERLAY DISTRICT DISCUSSING A PUBLIC OUTREACH STRATEGY AND REFINING POTENTIAL BOUNDARIES.
ANY, UH, OVERLAY THAT COMES FROM THIS DISCUSSION WOULD OF COURSE GO BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND NEED APPROVAL BY THE COUNCIL AT A LATER DATE.
AND ALSO I'D LIKE TO UPDATE YOU AND MAKE YOU AWARE THAT THE LOUISIANA CHAPTER OF AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION WITH THE CITY OF LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA ARE CO-HOSTING A PLANNING COMMISSIONER WORKSHOP ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3RD IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA.
THERE ALSO BE A VIDEO CONFERENCE COMPONENT THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LOG ON REMOTELY AND PARTICIPATE IN.
I EMAILED YOU THAT INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION FORM EARLIER TODAY.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME,
[02:10:02]
APPROVE YOUR COMMENTS.THANK YOU, MR. HOGAN, DOES THAT CONCLUDE THAT CONCLUDES YOUR COMMENTS.
AT THIS TIME, WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND WE'LL BEGIN WITH A PLANNING DIRECTOR SELECTION UPDATE.
UH, THE PLANNING DIRECTOR POSITION WAS ADVERTISED FROM AUGUST 15TH TO SEPTEMBER 15TH, AND I'LL READ THEM THE SITES AGAIN, WHERE THAT WAS POSTED CITY PARISH, HR, THE ADVOCATE, KATIE ANA AND NOLA AMERICAN PLANNING, AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND LOUISIANA MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION.
WE WERE ABLE TO RECEIVE 27 APPLICATIONS AND THE GROUP IS CURRENTLY REVIEWING APPLICATIONS AND WE'LL DISCUSS THE NEXT STEPS FOR INTERVIEWS WITH POTENTIAL CANDIDATES.
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? IF NOT, THEN I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU ALL TO JOIN ME IN CONGRATULATING CHAMBERS, THE SINGLE PLAN AND THE SITE PLAN AND PLANT DIVISION, AS HE HAS BEEN NAMED EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH, RIGHTFULLY HAS READILY ACCEPTED ANY TASK.
