I'LL BEGIN THIS WITH, UH, PROCEDURES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THE PUBLIC HEARINGS TODAY ARE BEING HELD FOR THE PURPOSE OF GIVING ALL INTERESTED PERSONS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK AND BE HEARD.

EVERYONE DESIRING TO SPEAK AT TODAY'S HEARING SHOULD HAVE EITHER SIGNED THE APPROPRIATE LIST IN THE FOYER OR EMAILED PLANNING AND ZONING PLANNING@BAYTOWN.ORG.

PRIOR TO THE POSTED TIME OF THIS MEETING, EACH SPEAKER SHALL GIVE HIS OR HER NAME AND ADDRESS AND ORDER TO PROVIDE A PROPER RECORD OF THIS HEARING.

HOWEVER, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BE AS BRIEF AND TO THE POINT AS POSSIBLE.

IF YOU ARE A GROUP OF PERSONS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON THE SAME SUBJECT, PLEASE SELECT A SPOKESPERSON TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DIRECT THEM TO ME.

OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING IS TO CONDUCT THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING A REQUEST TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 140.48 ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 10 AND EAST OF CROSBY CEDARVILLE ROAD, LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS TRACKS ONE B ONE CAG USE 1D ONE B DASH ONE AND 1D DASH ONE ABSTRACT 6 83 WEST RICHIE SURVEY, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS FROM OPEN SPACE RECREATION TO LIVABLE CENTER ZONING DISTRICT.

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

SO, UM, FOR THIS EVENING, THE TWO ITEMS THAT ARE, UM, THAT HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT, UM, THEY'RE REALLY RE UH, RELATED ITEMS. UM, THEY'RE, IT'S A COMMINGLED PROCESS.

SO THIS, UH, REQUEST FOR A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT OR A REZONING IS, UM, IS PROMPTED BY THE PUD.

THEY'RE REALLY, IN ESSENCE, UM, LIKE I SAID, RELATED PROCESSES.

UH, WHAT A PUD IS FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR IS A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

AND THAT IS A TOOL IN THE DEVELOPMENT TOOLBOX, UM, THAT REALLY KIND OF ALLOWS FOR US TO DO SOME UNIQUE THINGS WITH LAND USES AND DEVELOPMENTS.

AND SO, BUT PART OF THAT IS REQUIRING AN UNDERLYING ZONING

[00:15:01]

DISTRICT AS A PUD IS KIND OF AN OVERLAY.

AND SO THE BASE ZONING DISTRICT WILL ALLOW US TO REGULATE THINGS THAT ARE NOT ADDRESSED WITH THE, UH, THROUGH THE PUD.

UM, SO WE CAN BEGIN BY ORIENT ORIENTING OURSELVES.

AND WHERE THIS IS, THIS IS, UH, LOCATED, UM, UH, ALONG I 10, UM, ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN, UM, IN THE, UH, I WOULD SAY SOUTHEAST CORNER OF, UH, CROSBY, CEDAR BAYOU ROAD, AND I 10.

UM, ALSO WANTED TO PROVIDE SOME AERIAL IMAGES.

SO IT, AGAIN, IF YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE AT AND, UH, THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, SOME WHAT, UH, WHAT THE PROPERTY LOOKS LIKE.

UM, CURRENTLY THESE WERE TAKEN, UH, TODAY.

SO THIS IS, UH, THE PROJECT.

THIS IS THE PUD.

THIS IS THE LAND PLAN OF WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.

UH, THIS IS A, THIS PARTICULAR PUD IS FOR A MIXED USE PROJECT.

IT INCORPORATES SEVERAL LAND USES, UH, FOR THIS PARCEL.

UH, THE COMBINED 140 ACRES.

UM, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING USES OF COMMERCIAL ALONG THE FRONTAGES, UH, AT APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH APPROXIMATELY 350 UNITS.

UM, SOME DETACHED TOWN HOMES, UM, OF A, FOR A COMBINED, UH, NUMBER OF LOTS ON THAT WOULD BE A HUNDRED AND FIFTY, ONE SEVENTY THREE, SINGLE FAMILY LOTS.

AND, UM, APPROXIMATELY 185 ATTACHED TOWN HOMES.

UH, THIS IS, I WANTED TO BRING THIS UP.

THIS IS, UH, WHAT WE CAN LOOK AT AND, UM, AND SEE THE CURRENT USES, CURRENT LAND USES.

LET ME, UM, SO I'M SORRY.

I WANTED TO DISCUSS THE ZONING.

UH, SO AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, THIS AREA IS GENERALLY, UH, VACANT.

IT'S A PREDOMINANTLY ZONED OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION THAT COMES FROM THE FACT THAT IT WAS ANNEXED IN 2017.

IS THAT, AND THAT IS THE HOLDING DISTRICT FOR, UM, PROPERTY THAT'S RECENTLY ANNEXED.

UM, THERE IS, GOING BACK WE CAN SEE THAT THERE'S AN EXISTING MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT COMPLEX TO THE WEST.

UH, THERE'S A TRUCK STOP TO THE, UH, NORTHWEST AND, UM, A CHURCH TO THE SOUTHWEST AND SOME LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO THE, UM, TO THE EAST.

UH, BUT PREDOMINANTLY THIS AREA IS KIND OF SEMI-RURAL AND THIS DEVELOPMENT KIND OF HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SET THE TONE FOR THIS AREA AND KIND OF CHANGE THE PROJECTION, UH, AND OPEN UP SOME DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY.

UH, IT IS, THE REQUEST IS GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THERE'S A MIXTURE OF, UM, OF FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS THAT KIND OF INTERSECT THE PROPERTY, UH, BUSINESS PARK, COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR, AND HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

SO IT KIND OF LENDS ITSELF TO SUGGESTING THAT THIS PROPERTY IS SUITABLE FOR MIXED TYPE USE DEVELOPMENT, UM, AS OUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN WOULD SUGGEST.

AND AS THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED, THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXHIBITS THAT WERE PROVIDED WITH THE, UH, PD DOCUMENT AND THEY WERE PROVIDED TO YOU AS WELL.

UH, BUT WE JUST WANTED TO SHOW THEM TO YOU.

UH, THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH SOME OF THE, UH, SPECIFICATIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED IN THE PUD DOCUMENT.

UM, LOOKING AT WHAT THE AMENITIES WOULD LOOK LIKE, UH, CONSISTENT WITH OTHER PROJECTS THAT THE DEVELOPERS, UM, ARE, ARE FAMILIAR WITH.

UH, THIS IS THEIR TRAILS PLAN.

AND THE IDEA, THE OBJECTIVE WITH THIS IS TO, UM, KINDA SHOW THAT THE IDEA IS, UH, TO PROVIDE A CONNECTED, WELL CONNECTED, PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED, UH, TRAIL SYSTEM TO ENCOURAGE WALKABILITY AND, AND TO REALLY, UM, PROJECT THAT THIS IS A, YOU KNOW, TRUE MIXED, HORIZONTAL, MIXED USE, BUT IT IS A MIXED USE.

AND THAT THESE, THE IDEA IS THAT THESE LAND USES ARE KIND OF SUPPOSED TO INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER.

UH, THESE ARE ELEVATIONS OF WHAT MIGHT BE CONSISTENT WITH THE, UH, THIS PROJECT, UH, IN TERMS OF COMMERCIAL, WHAT YOU COULD EXPECT.

UH, SAME FOR MULTIFAMILY ATTACHED TOWN HOMES, DETACHED TOWN HOMES, SINGLE FAMILY PRODUCTS.

AND, UM, THE APPLICANT AND THEIR DESIGN TEAM HAVE, UH, PROPOSED, UH, HAVE PREPARED A PRESENTATION THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH Y'ALL, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

SURE.

PRODUCT THAT THERE'S SOME INTEREST IN IN THE MARKET.

[00:20:07]

GOOD EVENING.

I'M CATHERINE PARKER WITH META PLANNING AND DESIGN, AND WE'RE THE LAND PLANNER FOR THE PROJECT, AND WE'VE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER THE PUD AND WORKING WITH STAFF AND, AND OUR CLIENTS TO PUT TOGETHER A DOCUMENT, UM, THAT WILL REPRESENT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO ON THIS TRACK.

UM, A LOT OF WHAT I HAVE HERE IS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU GUYS JUST SAW, BUT I'LL JUST TRY AND GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON THE SPECIFIC, UM, PRODUCT THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING AND JUST THE OVERALL PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

MM-HMM .

SO IN FRONT OF YOU NOW IS THE, UM, CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE PROJECT.

AND AS EMILIO MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT COMMERCIAL ALONG I 10.

AND THEN THE IDEA IS THAT WE'RE TRANSITIONING, UM, INTENSITY AS WE GET FURTHER SOUTH.

SO YOU START WITH THE COMMERCIAL.

UM, THEN WE'VE GOT THE, THE MULTIFAMILY AND THE HIGHER INTENSITY, UM, ATTACHED TOWN HOMES.

AND THEN AS YOU MOVE FURTHER SOUTH, YOU'VE GOT YOUR, UM, DETACHED TOWN HOMES, AND THEN YOUR TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS AS WELL AS, UM, THE AMENITY, THE LAKE AND PARK AND TRAILS AND ALL OF THE OTHER FEATURES OF THE PROJECT.

AND AS, AS EMILIO MENTIONED, THIS IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IT ADDRESSES BOTH THE USE OF THE COMMERCIAL, BUT ALSO THE HIGHER DENSITY, UM, RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS WHICH WE'RE PROVIDING HERE.

AND PART OF, UM, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IN, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE LIVABLE CENTERS IS THAT THERE IS, UM, MULTIPLE LEVELS OF RESIDENTIAL, AND WE'VE GOT VARIOUS DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRODUCTS, WHICH HELPS WITH MARKETABILITY AND MEETS ALL DIFFERENT, UM, NEED AND DEMAND IN THE AREA, UH, BUT ALSO HELPS TO ENSURE THAT YOU'VE GOT THAT VARIETY, UH, THAT YOU WOULD SEE AND THAT WOULD BE CONDUCIVE TO THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS ALSO.

SO HERE WE'RE JUST KIND OF HIGHLIGHTING THE, THE GREEN SPACE, THE TRAILS.

UM, AS WAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, WE HAVE A TRAIL SYSTEM THAT WILL CONNECT AROUND THE LAKE AND THROUGH SOME OF THE PARK AREAS AND THE RESIDENTIAL, UM, AND ALSO UP TO THE MULTIFAMILY, THE TOWN HOMES AND THE COMMERCIAL.

SO IT'LL ALL BE INTERCONNECTED, PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION AND VEHICULAR.

BUT, UM, THIS ALLOWS FOR BOTH VIEW AND ACCESS OF THE DIFFERENT AMENITIES.

UM, THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT HERE, UM, WE'VE GOT A FEW IMAGES SHOWING PROPOSED AMENITIES FOR THE PROJECTS, SOME OF THE RECREATION, THESE ARE PRELIMINARY, BUT IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF KIND OF THE AESTHETIC AND, AND WHAT WOULD BE INCLUDED.

WE'VE GOT POOL, PLAYGROUND, UM, FOUNTAINS IN THE LAKE, SO IT'LL HAVE A LOT OF ENHANCEMENTS TO JUST REALLY MAKE IT A, A NICE COHESIVE COMMUNITY.

WE'VE GOT SOME RENDERINGS ALSO HERE OF WHAT'S PROPOSED FOR SOME OF THE, UM, ENTRANCES AND THE SIGNAGE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S GONNA BE CALLED THE CROSSING AT BAYTOWN.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LOT OF LANDSCAPING AND JUST, UM, ENHANCED FENCING AND, AND ELEMENTS THAT WILL TIE THROUGH THE WHOLE PROJECT.

AND THEN HERE IS SOME PRELIMINARY, UH, ELEVATIONS OF THE, SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT.

UM, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT VARIOUS, UM, CHANGES IN THE ARCHITECTURAL ARTICULATION MATERIAL TYPES TO TRY AND CREATE, UH, INTEREST ON A VISUAL LEVEL, AND ALSO JUST TO PROVIDE VARIOUS USES THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY, UM, AND BENEFICIAL FOR RESIDENTS HERE AND IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

HERE'S SOME IMAGES OF, UH, THE PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY COMPONENT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE, UM, ELEVATIONS ARE, UM, HAVE THE BUILDING ARTICULATION AND VARIOUS, UM, UM, DO I NEED A OKAY.

AND, UH, VARIOUS MATERIALS AND SUCH.

BUT THEN ALSO PART OF THIS PROPOSED, UM, COMPLEX WOULD INCLUDE A LOT OF AMENITIES TO THE RESIDENTS.

WE'VE GOT FIRE PIT, UM, PAVILION AREAS, AS WELL AS, UM, UH, LIKE PICNIC AREA.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT KIND OF GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT YOU MAY TYPICALLY SEE IN, UM, A MULTI-FAMILY COMPLEX.

AND SO THAT JUST CONTINUES TO FURTHER ENHANCE WHAT'S PROPOSED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

HERE ARE SOME RENDERINGS OF THE ATTACHED TOWN HOME PRODUCT.

SO THIS IS WHAT'S DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE COMMERCIAL.

AND THIS WOULD BE, UM, A MIXTURE OF THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE UNIT BUILDINGS THAT WOULD BE, UM, ALL ATTACHED.

BUT AGAIN, A LOT OF ARTICULATION THROUGH THE ELEVATIONS JUST TO KEEP SOME VISUAL INTEREST.

UM, IN THIS PRODUCT, THEY'RE PROPOSING A REAR ENTRY, SO THERE'S ALLEYS, AND THAT'S WHERE THE GARAGE WOULD BE.

SO THE FRONT STREET SCAPE IS REALLY, UM, PEDESTRIAN FOCUSED, AND YOU'VE GOT LANDSCAPING AND, AND SIDEWALKS AND EVERYTHING.

AND THEN ALL THE VEHICULAR ACCESS WOULD BE IN THE REAR TAKEN OFF OF THE ALLEYWAYS.

HERE'S THE DETACHED TOWN HOME PRODUCT.

SO THIS WILL STILL HAVE YOUR TYPICAL SETBACK BETWEEN BUILDINGS, BUT IT'S A, A NARROWER LOT, SO IT'S GOT THAT ATTACHED OR THAT'S TOWN HOME FEEL, UM, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, A UNIQUE

[00:25:01]

SO IT'S, IT GIVES YOU THE SEPARATION OF YOUR TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY, BUT IT GIVES YOU SOME OF THE, UM, LOWER MAINTENANCE AND SUCH OF A TOWN HOME THAT IS OFTEN DESIRABLE.

SO AGAIN, HERE, AND ALSO AS A PART OF THE PUD DOCUMENT, WE'RE INCORPORATING ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES AND REGULATIONS TO ENSURE THAT YOU'VE GOT NICE STREET SCAPE AND, UM, YOU'VE GOT DIVERSITY AMONGST THE ELEVATIONS TO KEEP, UM, FROM LOOKING, UH, YOU KNOW, REPETITIVE.

THIS IS ALL GONNA BE, THERE'S MULTIPLE PLANS THAT ARE PRO PROVIDED AND PROPOSED, AND THERE'S, WE'RE GONNA BE JUST ENSURING THAT THERE'S THE NECESSARY AREAS WHERE ELEVATIONS ARE RECESSED OR PROTRUDING, DIFFERENT ROOF LINES, MATERIALS, ALL OF THAT.

THERE'S ALSO LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE GONNA BE, UM, PROVIDED IN THE PUD TO MAKE SURE THERE'S A MINIMUM FOR ALL OF THE, UM, THE UNITS.

AND THEN THAT'S ALL IN ADDITION TO THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE FOR THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE IN THE MORE PUBLIC AREAS.

AND THEN HERE ARE SOME ELEVATIONS OF THE, THE, UM, TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY.

SO THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL HAVE THE, UM, LARGER LOTS MORE WHAT YOU SEE, UH, IN NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE AREA, BUT AGAIN, LARGE VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FLOOR PLANS AND HOMES, ONE AND TWO STORY, UM, VARIETY OF MATERIALS AND ARCHITECTURAL COMPONENTS.

SO IN ALL THREE, I GUESS THREE OF THE DIFFERENT, UM, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS, THERE'S THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS AND SUCH TO MAINTAIN A LEVEL OF QUALITY AND, UM, AESTHETIC AND EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A REALLY NICE, UM, WELL DONE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT'LL ALL TIE IN TOO WITH, YOU KNOW, THE, UM, STANDARDS THAT WE'RE GONNA PUT IN PLACE FOR THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS AND THE MULTIFAMILY COMPONENTS.

SO HERE'S JUST AN OVERVIEW AGAIN, OF THE, THE PROJECT, BUT, UM, I'M AVAILABLE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.

I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS A BETTER, UM, PICTURE OF WHAT TO EXPECT, UM, WITH THIS PROJECT AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND INCORPORATING IN THE DOCUMENT.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, COMMISSIONERS.

DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS OF MS. PARKER? UH, THE BUSINESS THAT, THAT IS ADJACENT TO IT TO THE EAST, IS THAT A BUSINESS THERE? I THINK IT IS, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS RIGHT.

TO THE EAST, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE, FACING IT FROM INTERSTATE 10 TO THE EAST, YEAH.

SO THAT'S AN EXISTING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, UH, BUSINESS, BUT YES, IT'S AN EXISTING BUSINESS.

WOULD IT BE? AND IT'S OWNED ACCORDINGLY.

I I WAS JUST CONCERNED.

WOULD THERE BE A, A NOISE FACTOR? WOULD YOU HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO, YOU KNOW, SORT OF SEPARATE THE LIVING AREA FROM THE INDUSTRIAL? YEAH, SO, UM, AND IT'S MAYBE HARD TO DENOTE, UH, ON THE EXHIBIT AS YOU SEE IT HERE DIGITALLY, BUT, UM, THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL DRAINAGE EASEMENT.

IT'S 110 FEET, 110 FEET ALONG THAT, UH, PROPERTY LINE MM-HMM .

SO IT, IT KIND OF IS A NATURAL, UH, BUFFER AND IT PROVIDES SOME DISTANCE AND IT'LL CERTAINLY MITIGATE SOME OF THE NOISE AND LIGHT.

UM, BUT I THINK THE COMMERCIAL IN THAT NORTHEAST CORNER WILL PROBABLY TAKE MOST OF THAT IMPACT.

UM, SO IT'S BUSINESS TO BUSINESS AND NOT NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, BUSINESS AND, AND RESIDENTIAL.

MAY HAVE TO, UM, PROVIDE THAT AS WELL.

AND THAT WAS ALSO TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE WAY THAT THE PROJECT WAS LAID OUT WAS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE IS A, A NATURAL BUFFER WITH THE DETENTION ALONG THE EAST SIDE.

UM, SO THAT HELPS TO CREATE, ALLEVIATE SOME OF THOSE SPECIFIC CONCERNS YOU MENTIONED.

THANK YOU, MS. PARKER.

WAS THERE, IS THERE AN EXISTING, UM, LIKE, I KNOW WE'RE SAYING IT'S A BUFFER, BUT IS THERE EXISTING, UM, VEGETATION THAT ALREADY EXISTS ALONG THAT, THAT PROPERTY LINE THAT GOES FROM I 10 ALL THE WAY DOWN SOUTH, ALONG THE DRAINAGE, ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY? UM, I, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL.

UM, BUT PART OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IN THE PD IS THAT THERE, THERE ARE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS ALONG, UM, THE PUBLIC AREAS AND SUCH.

AND THEN AGAIN, FENCING REQUIREMENTS TOO.

SO, UM, AND THAT PLUS THE 110 FOOT DISTANCE, THERE'S, IT, IT IS A GOOD AMOUNT OF SPACE, UH, JUST BETWEEN USES, NOT EVEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT FENCING AND SUCH.

AND I'LL, AND I'LL JUST ADD TO THAT IN THE FUTURE, AS PROPERTY DEVELOPS, UH, I DON'T HAVE THE ZONING MAP UP, I CAN CERTAINLY PULL IT UP THAT WE WERE REFERENCING IN OUR OTHER PRESENTATION.

BUT AS THAT PROPERTY DEVELOPS AND, AND DEPENDING ON WHAT IT'S ZONED, PROBABLY SOME KIND OF COMMERCIAL USE OR ZONING, IT WOULD HAVE TO, UM, TO MITIGATE IMPACTS, UH, TYPICALLY THROUGH A, UH, TRANSITION BUFFER ZONE OR SOME KIND OF OTHER, UM, OTHER KIND OF BUFFERING TO MITIGATE SOME OF THAT.

SO, UM, IT'S PROVIDED FOR IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AND ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

[00:30:02]

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS? GO DOWN ABOUT TWO SLIDES.

THERE YOU GO, DONNA.

UM, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT TOWN HOME, THAT WAS THIS DETACHED ONE ON THE SOUTHEAST PICTURE RIGHT THERE.

THAT WAS MINE.

UM, SO I'M GLAD ABOUT THAT.

UM, IS, ARE THE TOWN HOMES GONNA BE FOR SALE OR FOR LEASE FOR SALE? DETACHED AND THE ATTACHED, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

THEY'LL BE FOR SALE.

AND IS THERE GONNA BE AN HOA, UM, HOW WOULD THAT BE HANDLED FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY OR FOR THE TOWN? YEAH, SO THERE, THERE WILL BE, AND THAT WILL BE WHO'S IN CHARGE OF ALL THE MAINTENANCE FOR PUBLIC AREAS.

OKAY, GOOD.

AND WAS THERE A, DID I MISS A, A COMMUNITY ROOM, LIKE WITH A POOL? I KNOW I SAW THE LAKE.

YES, THERE'S GONNA, IT WAS.

OKAY, GOOD.

THERE'S A PARK THAT WILL HAVE A, UM, A SMALL RECREATION FACILITY, UH, POOL AND THEN PLAYGROUND AND SUCH.

THERE, IT'S, YEAH.

IS IT TOO SOON TO ASK THE, THE LOT SIZES FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES? UM, IT'S THE MINIMUM THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IN THE DOCUMENT IS 50 FOOT 50.

THANK YOU FOR THE, YEAH, FOR THE TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY.

DO WE KNOW, UM, HOW MANY SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL THAT'S GONNA BE? THERE'S, THERE'S TWO TRACKS.

THE LARGER ONE IS 29 ACRES, AND THEN HERE I'M GONNA GO TO, AM I GOING THE WRONG WAY? YEAH, SO, UM, YOU SEE THE LARGER ONE ON THE WEST SIDE IS 29 ACRES, AND THEN ON THE EAST SIDE, THE SMALLER ONE IS JUST A FIVE ACRE TRACK.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH MS. PARKER.

WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

UH, BOB LEWIS SAYS, YOU'RE JUST HERE, YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY.

PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

ONE OF OUR COMMISSIONERS HAS HIS QUESTION, UM, VIA ZOOM, UM, OF

[00:35:01]

THE DEVELOPER.

IF YOU HAVE MS. MS. CATHERINE, WOULD THE PROJECT HAVE PERIMETER VISUAL BARRIER FENCING? UH, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE, THE USE IS, BUT AROUND THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS, THERE WILL BE, UM, COMMUNITY FENCING, AND THEN FOR THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS, ANYTIME THERE'S, UM, A REQUIRED BUFFER BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL, THERE WOULD BE, I DON'T KNOW THAT AROUND LIKE, ALONG I 10 AND SUCH, THERE WOULDN'T, BUT WHERE THERE'S, UM, NON, UH, NON-COMPATIBLE USES LIKE THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE COMMERCIAL THERE WOULD BE.

DO WE HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? I HAVE THE SAME PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO ADDRESS THIS PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I'M IRWIN BURDEN, A CITY ENGINEER.

UM, WE REQUEST, WE RECEIVED A REQUEST TO, UH, CONSIDER EVALUATING THIS TRAFFIC CENTER, UH, TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR TRAFFIC INTERSECTION.

UM, IT'S, UH, UM, WEST, UH, I'M SORRY.

ASHEVILLE STREET IS A LOCAL STREET AND WEST TEXAS IS A MINOR THIRD FARE.

UM, THE, WE TOOK A, WE DID A SITE, UH, EVALUATION AND THAT, UH, THE TRAFFIC LOADS JUST AREN'T REAL HIGH AND IT IS WARRANTED TO CHANGE THE ONE WAY.

UM, THERE'S A ONE WAY STREET OF ASHEVILLE GOING NORTHBOUND, AND TEXAS IS TWO-WAY, IT'S A THREE-WAY INTERSECTION, AND IT ONLY HAS A STOP SIGN GOING NORTHBOUND ON ASHEVILLE, UM, TO ADD STOP SIGNS TO MAKE AN ALLWAY STOP.

SO IT'D BE THREE STOP SIGNS.

THERE IS WHAT'S RECOMMENDED, AND, UH, WE DID FIND IT WARRANTED AND WE RECOMMEND, UH, ADDING THE STOP SIGNS.

THANK YOU, IRWIN.

COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. BURDEN? IF NOT, DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO MOVE HERE A SECOND.
