THE DEVELOPER RECENTLY HAD A LETTER OF MAP REVISION, OR LOMER APPROVED OF FEMA AND PART OF THAT PROCESS FOR FEMA'S RULES AND ALSO THE CITY'S ORDINANCES THAT YOU HAVE TO REPLAT THE PROPERTY TO SHOW THAT IT'S BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FLOODPLAIN.

SO THAT'S ALL THAT THIS PLAT IS SIMPLY FOR. IT WAS REVIEWED BY CITY DEPARTMENTS AND THE LOCAL UTILITY COMPANIES AND WAS FOUND TO CONFORM WITH OUR ORDINANCE AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS, EXCEPT FOR CORRECTED ORIGINALS NOT YET BEING RECEIVED AS OF THE MEETING TODAY.

THIS UNIT WAS RECENTLY APPROVED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH OR SO, AND THE HOME BUILDER THAT PURCHASED THE LOTS WANTS TO MAKE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO THOSE ETERNAL LOT LINES TO BETTER FIT THE LOTS TO THEIR THE WAY THAT THEY FIT HOMES ON PROPERTIES TYPICALLY.

SO THEY ARE JUST ADJUSTING SOME OF THOSE INTERNAL LOT LINES AND IS THE REASON FOR THE REPLAT.

AND SINCE THIS WAS A RESIDENTIAL REPLAT, IT REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING.

THIS HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY CITY DEPARTMENTS AND LOCAL UTILITY COMPANIES, AND WAS FOUND TO CONFORM WITH THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CORRECTED ORIGINALS NOT YET BEING RECEIVED.

WE HAVE RECEIVED NO PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM AS OF THE MEETING OF THE DAY, AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST AS PRESENTED WITH THE CONDITION THAT CORRECTED ORIGINALS ARE RECEIVED. OKAY. THANK YOU.

(VICNITY: Temecula Creek Blvd. & Vineyard Blvd.; APPLICANT/S: OJD Engineering, LLC for Vineyards Amarillo LLC)]

THE CHANGE FROM AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 3.

IT'S IN THE VICINITY OF TEMECULA CREEK BOULEVARD AND VINEYARD BOULEVARD, AND THE APPLICANT IS OJD ENGINEERING, LLC FOR VINEYARDS AMARILLO, LLC AND THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING A CHANGE IN ZONING TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY WITH THE LAST PLANNED PHASE OF THE VINEYARD SUBDIVISION IN

[00:10:01]

THE CITY PLAN 2045 PLACE TYPE IS NEIGHBORHOOD LOW, AND.

THIS PROPOSAL WOULD CONFORM WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF CITY PLAN AND THE ASSOCIATED PLACE TYPE FOR THE PROPERTY BEING NEIGHBORHOOD LOW.

THE REQUEST ALSO CONFORMS WITH THE APPROVED PRELIMINARY PLAN ON FILE FOR THE SUBDIVISION, AND REPRESENTS THE LAST PHASE OF THE SUBDIVISION AS CURRENTLY PLANNED, AND THIS WOULD REPRESENT A CONTINUATION OF AN EXISTING SUBDIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS FOUND IN THE AREA.

REGARDING PUBLIC COMMENT, NONE HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AS OF THIS REPORT.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE ON THE REQUEST.

OKAY. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY IN OUR AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? IS THERE ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ITEM? OKAY.

SEEING NONE, I HAD A QUESTION OF THE EXISTING ZONING IN THE AREA ALREADY.

WHAT IS THAT? MOSTLY. YEAH. SO TO THE NORTH, EAST AND SOUTH, IT'S RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 3.

OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING. OKAY. YEP. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO QUESTIONS. DO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR THE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM? MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVED TO APPROVE THE REZONING AS REQUESTED.

AYE. MOTION IS APPROVED. ALL RIGHT. ITEM 4.G.

[4.G. Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning 2026-228-Z Rezoning of 7.66 acres of land, being Block 5, Fairlane Acres Unit No. 2, an addition to the City of Amarillo, in Section 160, Block 2, A.B.& M. Survey, Potter County, Texas, plus one- half of all bounding streets, alleys, and public ways, to change from Residential District 1 to Moderate Density District 1. (VICINITY: Rietman Ave. & Pavillard Dr.; APPLICANT/S: Geospatial Data, Inc. for Blue Heritage Construction Group LLC)]

LET'S SEE HERE. I'LL MAKE SURE I GET THE CASE RIGHT ON THIS ONE.

228-Z THIS IS THE REZONING OF 7.66 ACRES OF LAND BEING BLOCK 5, FAIRLANE, FAIRLANE ACRES, UNIT NUMBER 2, IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF AMARILLO.

THIS IS IN SECTION 160, BLOCK 2, A, B, AND M SURVEY POTTER COUNTY, TEXAS.

PLUS ONE HALF OF ALL BOUNDING STREETS, ALLEYS AND PUBLIC WAYS TO CHANGE FROM RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 1 TO MODERATE DENSITY DISTRICT 1.

THE VICINITY IS REITMAN AVENUE AND PAVILLARD DRIVE.

THE APPLICANT IS GEOSPATIAL DATA, INC. FOR BLUE HERITAGE CONSTRUCTION GROUP, LLC.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A CHANGE IN ZONING TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY, WITH 51 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES ON LOTS UTILIZING MODERATE DENSITY DISTRICT 1 ZONING STANDARDS AND THE PROPERTY AS IT EXISTS CURRENTLY CONTAINS ONE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOME, AND EXISTING ZONING IN THE AREA INCLUDES RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 1 TO THE NORTH, SOUTH AND WEST AND AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO THE EAST.

ADJACENT LAND USES CONSIST OF SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES TO THE NORTH, SOUTH AND WEST STORAGE BUILDINGS TO THE WEST ON THE PROPERTY ZONED AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT.

THE CITY PLAN 2045 PLACE TYPE PER. THAT MAP IS IDENTIFIED AS A NEIGHBORHOOD LOW CATEGORY.

THE APPLICANT'S DESIGN FOR THE PROPERTY IS TO DEVELOP THIS WITH 51 LOTS FOR SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES, IN ADDITION TO 2 NEW STREETS AND 2 NEW ALLEYS.

THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 54FT BY 86FT, WHICH COMES OUT TO 4644FT².

THE PROPERTY. THE PROPOSED DENSITY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE 6.657 UNITS PER ACRE.

IN ADDITION TO A ZONING CHANGE. THE APPLICANT WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A DRAINAGE REPORT, INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS AND A PRELIMINARY PLAN TO THE CITY FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO ANY KIND OF APPROVALS BEING GRANTED.

REGARDING CONSTRUCTION IF THE REZONING REQUESTS WERE TO BE APPROVED.

SO THIS IS JUST THE FIRST OF MANY STEPS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROPERTY.

INITIAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY ORIGINALLY PROPOSED THE POTENTIAL TO UTILIZE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 3 ZONING DESIGNATION FOR THE PROPERTY'S DEVELOPMENT.

UPON INITIAL DESIGN FOR THE PROPERTY, THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEER STATED THAT TO THE CITY THAT DUE TO TOPOGRAPHY OF THE PROPERTY AND DRAINAGE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS, THE STREET AND ALLEY LAYOUT SHOWN ON THE DRAFT PROPOSAL FOR THE PROPERTY WAS NEEDED TO CONVEY DRAINAGE PROPERLY.

WITH THAT LOT, DEPTHS OF APPROXIMATELY 86FT WERE NEEDED TO ACCOMMODATE THE ROOM NEEDED FOR THE LOTS AND ASSOCIATED STREETS AND ALLEYS, AND IS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE REQUEST OF MODERATE DENSITY DISTRICT1.

THE DEVELOPER IS OF THE OPINION THAT THE PROPOSAL REPRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR APPROPRIATE INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY IN MODERATE DENSITY.

AND BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I'LL JUST SHOW YOU A FEW IMAGES OF THE PROPERTY.

IT'S BOX THERE IN RED ON THE MAP. AND THEN JUST FOR ANOTHER POINT OF REFERENCE, I KNOW THAT THE SOUTHEAST THERE, THAT SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION THERE, THAT'S THE FOX HOLLOW ADDITION.

SO WE ARE JUST NORTH OF THE LOOP HERE. THIS IS THE CITY PLAN PLACE TYPE MAP.

[00:15:02]

THAT'S THAT NEIGHBORHOOD LOW CATEGORY. THE ORANGE TO THE SOUTH THERE IS NEIGHBORHOOD HIGH.

AND THEN FOX HOLLOW IS THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD MEDIUM.

AND THEN THAT GREEN IS THE RESERVE CATEGORY. AND THEN A COUPLE IMAGES OF THE SUBJECT SITE AS IT EXISTS TODAY.

THE TOP VIEW IS THE VIEW FROM THE SOUTHEAST CORNER LOOKING NORTHWEST.

THE BOTTOM IMAGE THERE IS FROM THE NORTHEAST CORNER LOOKING SOUTHWEST.

TOP IMAGE VIEW FROM THE NORTHWEST CORNER LOOKING SOUTHEAST AND THE BOTTOM IS THE VIEW FROM THE SOUTHWEST CORNER LOOKING NORTHEAST.

OKAY, WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PART.

SO AS A FRAME OF REFERENCE IN MODERATE DENSITY DISTRICT 1.

IN ADDITION, THE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES, ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL PRODUCTS ALSO INCLUDE THAT ARE ALLOWED ALSO INCLUDE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED TOWNHOMES AND DUPLEXES. WHILE THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, STAFF MUST NOTE THAT ANY USE ALLOWED UNDER MODERATE DENSITY 1 WOULD BE ABLE TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE PROPERTY BY RIGHT WITHOUT A ZONING CHANGE.

IF THE DESIGNATION WERE TO BE APPROVED FOR THE PROPERTY.

REGARDING THE STANDARDS FOR SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AND MODERATE DENSITY ONE, THE MINIMUM LOT DIMENSIONS REQUIRED ARE 40 BY 85 AND WITH A MINIMUM AREA OF 3400FT². THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT ALLOWED WOULD BE 2 STORIES AND OFF STREET PARKING SPACE.

2 OFF STREET PARKING SPACES PER HOME IS REQUIRED.

MINIMUM SETBACKS FROM THE PROPERTY LINES FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND MODERATE DENSITY 1 INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING.

A 15 FOOT FRONT YARD SETBACK. 10 FOOT REAR YARD SETBACK.

5 FOOT INTERIOR SIDE, 10 FOOT SIDE ON STREET, 20 FOOT SIDE AND REAR GARAGE ENTRANCE SETBACK AND MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE IS 65% AND EXAMINING THE DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AREA.

THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITH FAIRLANE ACRES SUBDIVISION, SPECIFICALLY UNIT 2.

UNIT 2 OF THE SUBDIVISION WAS PLATTED WITH 60 LOTS, WHICH EQUATES TO A DENSITY OF 1.49 UNITS PER ACRE.

AND IF YOU WERE TO SUBTRACT THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY FOR THAT, IT'D BE 1.6 UNITS PER ACRE.

REGARDING THE LOTS IN THE IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY OF THE APPLICANT'S TRACT.

THEY TYPICALLY FEATURE LOTS 2 PRIMARY LOT SIZES 102 FOOT BY 272, WHICH IS 27,744FT² AT 102 BY 200, WHICH IS 20,400FT². AND THE ZONING FOR THESE SURROUNDING LOTS IS RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 1, WHICH DICTATES THE FOLLOWING SETBACKS. 25 FOOT FRONT YARD.

10 FOOT REAR YARD. 5 FOOT INTERIOR SIDE. 10 FOOT SIDE ON STREET.

SAME 20 FOOT GARAGE SETBACK AND A MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE OF 45%.

AND RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 1 ALSO HAS THAT SAME 2 STORY BUILDING HEIGHT MAXIMUM AND 2 OFF STREET PARKING SPACES REQUIREMENT.

NOW GOING BACK TO THE DENSITY CONVERSATION FOR A MINUTE WE DID STAFF DID LOOK AT TYPICAL DENSITIES FOR THESE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.

AND THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL TYPICALLY FOR R-1 IF YOU'RE TAKING A RAW PIECE OF LAND BEFORE YOU ACCOUNT FOR STREETS AND ALLEYS AND OTHER ELEMENTS THAT WOULD COME OUT TO A MAXIMUM DENSITY OF 5.808 UNITS PER ACRE. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT SOME TYPICAL SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE DEVELOPED TO THAT, ONCE YOU SUBTRACT OUT THE STREETS, IT DROPS. THE NUMBER IN PARENTHESES ARE WHAT TYPICAL SUBDIVISIONS IN AMARILLO FOR THAT ZONING DISTRICT FEATURES.

SO REALLY, ONCE YOU FACTOR IN STREETS AND ALLEYS, IT'S ABOUT 3.782 PER ACRE.

FOR R-3. 8.712 IS THE RAW DENSITY. BUT ONCE YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT STREETS AND ALLEYS, THAT DROPS TO A REALISTIC DENSITY OF ABOUT 4.062 MD-1 WOULD BE A RAW DENSITY OF 12.811 UNITS PER ACRE.

NOW, IN THE FEW MD-1 IS A RELATIVELY NEW ZONING DISTRICT.

SO IN THE ONES THAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR IN THE CITY THAT UTILIZE THOSE STANDARDS, IT RANGES QUITE A BIT FROM ABOUT 4 TO 8 PER ACRE, IS WHAT YOU REALIZE. AND THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S A WIDE RANGE OF LOT SIZES THAT MD-1 ALLOWS FOR.

AND THEN YOU GOT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT. ALLEY VERSUS NO. ALLEY SUBDIVISION, VARYING STREET WIDTHS, ETC. SO THE APPLICANT'S DESIGN, WHICH DOES TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE STREETS AND ALLEYS THAT COMES OUT TO 6.657 UNITS PER ACRE.

AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE UNIT 2 OF THE EXISTING SUBDIVISION, THAT'S 1.409 PER ACRE.

SO LET'S SEE, THE APPLICANT'S TRACT IS LOCATED ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SUBDIVISION ALONG PAVILLARD DRIVE, WITH VACANT AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY TO THE EAST.

[00:20:01]

THE ZONING DESIGNATION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY EXPLORED BY THE DEVELOPER AS A POTENTIAL REQUEST FOR THE PROPERTY.

FOR REFERENCE, RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 3 IS SIMILAR TO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 1, EXCEPT FOR ALLOWING A SMALLER BASELINE LOT SIZE OF 5000FT², WITH 50 BY 100 AS THE MINIMUM LOT DIMENSIONS AND A MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE OF 65%.

AS CAN BE NOTED FROM THE MAP, THE APPLICANT'S TRACT IS LOCATED TOWARDS THE PERIPHERY OF THE FAIR LINE ACRES SUBDIVISION, ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY THAT IS ZONED AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT AND JUST THE NORTHWEST OF THE FOX HOLLOW SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION.

WHEN CONSIDERING THE MAXIMUM DENSITY THAT EACH OF THE ABOVE DISTRICTS WOULD ALLOW, THE BELOW.

THAT'S WHAT WE JUST COVERED EARLIER. JUMPED AHEAD THERE.

WE'LL MOVE AHEAD TO THE CITY PLAN PLACE TYPE.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, IT IS THAT NEIGHBORHOOD LOW CATEGORY.

THAT CATEGORY IS THE RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOODS OF PRIMARILY SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOUSING.

GUIDE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND PROMOTE THOUGHTFUL INTRODUCTION OF MIXED INCOME HOUSING TYPES IN WAYS THAT DON'T SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. NOW, THE PRIMARY LAND USE IS CALLED TO BE RESIDENTIAL WITH SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES.

THE RECOMMENDED DENSITY FOR NEIGHBORHOOD [INAUDIBLE] IS TYPICALLY 1 TO 9 DWELLINGS PER ACRE, WHILE THE APPLICANT'S INTENDED DEVELOPMENT WOULD FIT SOME OF THESE REQUIREMENTS, IS WORTH NOTING THAT AS A ZONING DISTRICT, THE REQUEST WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR TOWNHOMES AND DUPLEXES BY RIGHT, WHICH TYPICALLY IS NOT RECOMMENDED UNTIL THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEDIUM PLACE TYPE.

WHEN REVIEWING THE KEY RECOMMENDATIONS AND POINTS OF CONSIDERATION FROM CITY PLAN VISION 2045 AND EXAMINING THE REQUEST, STAFF BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF POINTS THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN EXAMINING THE REQUEST, AND. THESE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING. CITY PLAN DOES CALL FOR INTRODUCING DIVERSE HOUSING TYPES WHILE PRESERVING LOW DENSITY HOUSING REGARDING OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS AND REDEVELOPMENT EFFORTS. PROTECTION OF EXISTING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTER IS RECOMMENDED.

DENSER DEVELOPMENT THAN SUBURBAN LOW DENSITY HOUSING FOUND IN MANY NEIGHBORHOODS IS MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY AS MORE PEOPLE CAN BE SERVED PER MILE OF ROADWAY OR ACRE PARK, FOR EXAMPLE. ONE MAJOR IMPACT, HOWEVER, FROM GREATER DENSITY CAN BE GENERATED WHEN AN AREA EXPERIENCES A MAJOR SHIFT IN LAND USE. AN EXAMPLE. INDUSTRIAL. THE RESIDENTIAL AND OR SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN DENSITY.

ANOTHER OBJECTIVE IS TO ENSURE NEW INFILL HOUSING AND EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS IS DESIGNED AND SCALED TO FIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT AND.

A GOAL OF CITY PLAN IS TO ENCOURAGE INFILL HOUSING AND REINVESTMENT IN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.

THIS ALSO INCLUDES A GOAL OF REVITALIZING OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS BY PROMOTING COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT.

IN SUMMARIZING THE JUST MENTIONED, IT IS NOTED THAT CITY PLAN DOES CALL FOR INTRODUCING DIFFERING HOUSING TYPES WITHIN THE CITY TO OFFER A WIDER RANGE OF HOUSING OPTIONS FOR CURRENT AND FUTURE RESIDENTS OF AMARILLO. INFILL DEVELOPMENT THAT LEVERAGES EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE CITY IS MORE FISCALLY BENEFICIAL FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE STANDPOINT, ESPECIALLY WHEN INCORPORATING POTENTIALLY HIGHER DENSITIES OF DEVELOPMENT.

HOWEVER, KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR SUCH PROPOSALS INCLUDE, INCLUDING THE ONE AT HAND, ARE ASSESSING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL AND ZONING DESIGNATION OF EXISTING DEVELOPMENT CHARACTER IS BEING IF IT'S BEING NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THE REQUEST.

ADDITIONALLY, SCALE AND TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE WEIGHED TO EXAMINE IF IT FITS THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT AND IS COMPATIBLE.

AS IT PERTAINS TO THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL. WHILE THE DEVELOPER HAS INDICATED THAT SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES ARE PROPOSED AT A DENSITY OF 6.657 UNITS PER ACRE, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SHOULD BE MINDFUL OF THE FULL RANGE OF USES THAT ARE ALLOWED BY THE REQUESTED DESIGNATION AND THE APPLICANT'S DESIGN, PLUS OTHER POTENTIAL ALLOWED USES FIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, CHARACTER AND CONTEXT OF THE AREA GIVEN THE LOCATION OF THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY WHEN CONSIDERING EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS FOUND IN THE AREA REGARDING THE PLACE TYPE IDENTIFIED FOR THE PROPERTY.

WHILE THE APPLICANT'S DRAFT PROPOSAL FITS THE LAND USE AND DENSITY RECOMMENDATIONS OF NEIGHBORHOOD LOW OTHER USES ALLOWED WITHIN MD-1 WOULD TYPICALLY BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR NEIGHBORHOOD MEDIUM. MOVING ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT.

AS OF THIS REPORT TODAY, THE FOLLOWING PUBLIC FEEDBACK HAS BEEN RECEIVED REGARDING THE REZONING REQUEST.

THERE HAVE BEEN 2 COMMENTS IN SUPPORT, 2 THAT WERE GENERAL INQUIRIES THAT EXPRESSED NEITHER SUPPORT NOR OPPOSITION, AND 58 INDIVIDUALS EXPRESSING OPPOSITION WHO EITHER CALLED THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, PROVIDED COMMENTS IN WRITING OR SIGNED A PETITION LETTER THAT WAS CIRCULATED WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THOSE THAT HAVE WRITTEN COMMENTS IN THAT LETTER ARE PROVIDED IN YOUR PACKET.

[00:25:06]

IN THIS CASE, IT DID EXCEED THE 20% THRESHOLD.

SO IF THIS CASE WERE TO END UP WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PASS IT WITH A SUPERMAJORITY.

IF SOMEBODY VOTED ON THAT BODY TO VOTE TO APPROVE IT.

SO IT DOES APPEAR AS OF TODAY, IT DID HIT THAT THRESHOLD FOR A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE IF THIS WERE TO MAKE IT THE CITY COUNCIL.

NOW, REGARDING THE COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION, THE CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY THOSE THAT CONTACTED STAFF INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING, AND THESE WERE A SUMMARY OF THE COMMENTS RECEIVED BY STAFF.

CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC INCREASES AND IMPACTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD A NOISE INCREASES.

THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS NOT IN CHARACTER WITH THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND WILL ALTER THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE PROPOSAL WILL INCREASE TAXES FOR EXISTING RESIDENTS.

THE HOMES WILL BE TOO SMALL OR WILL BE RENTALS.

THE HOMES WILL BE IN LOW INCOME HOUSING. A DESIRE THAT THE APPLICANT DEVELOPS IN THE SAME WAY THE EXISTING HOMES ARE AND MATCHES THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER.

THE EXISTING STREET DRAINAGE, WATER AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE WILL NOT SUPPORT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA.

THE DEVELOPMENT WILL CREATE INCREASED RUNOFF AND MAKE EXISTING DRAINAGE AREAS IN THE AREA WORSE.

WATER PRESSURE IS AN ISSUE IN THE AREA AND THIS PROPOSAL WOULD MAKE IT WORSE.

INCREASED POPULATION WILL BRING MORE CRIME TO THE AREA.

THE DEVELOPMENT WILL LOWER PROPERTY VALUES OF EXISTING HOMES.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY CONCERNS BECAUSE OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE CONCERNS AND POTENTIAL INCREASES IN TRAFFIC.

IMPACTS ON EMERGENCY SERVICE RESPONSE TO THE AREA.

INCREASE IN POPULATION WOULD STRAIN THE THE CONSTRAINED SCHOOLS IN THE AREA.

PARKS AND PUBLIC SERVICES FOR THIS REGION OF AMARILLO.

INCREASES IN TRAFFIC AND ADDITIONAL HOMES WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT WILDLIFE IN THE AREA.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH STREET PARKING FOR EXISTING HOMES.

THE REQUEST WILL RUIN THE QUIET NATURE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE REQUEST DOES NOT FIT WITH THE COUNTRY STYLE SETTING OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD, AND A CONCERN THAT THE HOMES MAY BE CHEAP, TINY HOMES. AND THAT IS A SUMMARY OF THE COMMENTS THAT STAFF RECEIVED.

AND THOSE INDIVIDUAL LETTERS, LIKE I MENTIONED, ARE WERE IN YOUR PACKET.

WITH THAT, THAT IS ALL STAFF HAS FOR THE PRESENTATION TODAY.

I KNOW THE DEVELOPER HAS REPRESENTATIVES HERE TODAY AS WELL.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR EVERYBODY ELSE TO SPEAK.

SO FOR THAT WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MAY HAVE FOR STAFF AT THIS POINT.

OKAY. BEFORE WE MOVE INTO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PART COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR BRADY? YES. WHAT SCHOOL DISTRICT IS THAT IN? SO THIS ONE IS ON THE SOUTH WITHIN THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARIES OF RIVER ROAD ISD.

OKAY. THANK YOU. CINDI. BRADY, CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND? THERE WAS A GREAT EXPLANATION IN HERE, BUT IT MAY HAVE BEEN SO MUCH THE THE THE SIMPLE ANSWER MAY HAVE BEEN BURIED, THE 86FT, THE NECESSARY DEPTH OF THE LOT TO ACHIEVE THE DRAINAGE.

IS THAT THE ONLY REASON OR WERE THERE MULTIPLE REASONS WHY THIS COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED UNDER R-3.

THAT WAS THE. SO THE LOT. LET'S MEET R-3 STANDARDS.

AND SINCE THEY HAD TO DO THOSE NARROWER LOTS TO OR SHALLOWER LOTS THAN R-3 ALLOWS FOR.

THAT ALSO MAKES THE AREA BELOW THAT 5000 SQUARE FOOT PER LOT THRESHOLD.

SO REALLY IT'S LOT AREA AND LOT DEPTH THAT ARE THE 2 PRIMARY ISSUES.

AND WOULD THERE HAVE BEEN AN ALTERNATE POSSIBILITY OF PRESENTING IT AS R-3 WITH VARIANCES. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM CONVERSATIONS OF THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEER TO MAKE THE DRAINAGE WORK FOR THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW OPTIONS THAT WERE AVAILABLE, BUT THEY CAN SPEAK MORE TO THAT HERE IN A SECOND.

OKAY. IN TERMS OF WHAT WAS DISCUSSED WITH STAFF, THIS WAS INDICATED AS THE PRIMARY PROPOSAL THAT WORKED THE BEST WITH THE DRAINAGE AND TOPOGRAPHY CONSIDERATIONS. PUBLIC COMMENT MAY FLUSH THIS OUT AS AS WE EXPAND ON THAT.

BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND SOME MIDDLE GROUND.

IF THERE WAS SOME AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS AN ALTERNATIVE.

SURE. AND I KNOW IN THE YEAH, THERE'S A VARIETY OF THINGS WE CAN DISCUSS WITH THAT AND NOAH ALLEY SUBDIVISIONS IN AMARILLO. YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALWAYS A TOPIC THAT'S INTERESTING.

ALLEY VERSUS NO ALLEY. I KNOW THIS AREA, HOWEVER, THOUGH IS PRIMARILY SERVED OFF ALLEY SO TYPICALLY IT WOULD BE THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT

[00:30:07]

SO THAT'S WHY THIS WAS PROPOSED, THE VALLEYS, FOR EXAMPLE.

SO YEAH, WE COULD DEFINITELY DIVE INTO TOPICS LIKE THAT.

THANK YOU. BRADY. ARE YOU SURFACE DRAINING OR IS IT SUBSURFACE? I BELIEVE IT'S SURFACE DRAINING, BUT THE ENGINEER CAN EXPAND UPON THAT IF I WAS INCORRECT, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S UTILIZING THE SHEET DRAINING TO THE STREETS LIKE A MAJORITY OF AMARILLO DOES.

SO DOESN'T THIS FLOW BACK TO A CREEK IN THE BACK BEHIND THERE? YES. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE EAST AMARILLO CREEK.

I WANT TO SAY THAT'S JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF THIS AREA DOWN THE HILL.

THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THE RUNOFF IN THIS AREA GOES TO.

THE STAFF ANALYZED THAT IN THE ACCELERATED RUNOFF THEY HAVE NOT YET.

THAT WOULD COME LATER IN A DRAINAGE REPORT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT TO THE CITY ENGINEER'S OFFICE.

AND THE CITY ENGINEER'S OFFICE WOULD THEN EXAMINE THAT AND, AND LOOK AT POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO DOWNSTREAM NEIGHBORS, AND THEN ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES WITH THE DEVELOPERS ENGINEER.

BUT THEY WANTED TO CONSIDER THE ZONING FIRST TO SEE WHERE THAT WENT BEFORE THEY DOVE INTO ACTUAL INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN FOR THE SUBDIVISION.

SO TO EXPAND ON, ON THAT QUESTION, THE ZONING WOULD BE THE FIRST PART OF THE PROCESS, AND THEN THERE WOULD BE SUBSEQUENT PROCESSES THAT WOULD HAVE TO MEET NECESSARY THRESHOLDS AND THE ABILITY OF THE CITY TO MANAGE THE TRAFFIC AND THE THE OTHER PIECES OF SOME OF THESE OBJECTIONS. RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT.

TYPICALLY, JUST SPEAKING ABOUT DEVELOPMENT IN GENERAL, ZONING IS OFTENTIMES THE FIRST STEP.

AND THEN AFTER THAT IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAN PROCESS, WHICH IS THE IMAGE ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW IS ESSENTIALLY A PRELIMINARY PLAN.

BUT THEN WE REALLY THE PRELIMINARY PLANS WHERE THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPERS ENGINEER DIVE INTO THE UTILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED UNIT. AND THAT'S WHERE COMMENTS AND ISSUES WOULD BE HASHED OUT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE ENGINEER TO ENSURE THAT IT MEETS THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS THAT WE ENFORCE. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO AHEAD AND GO ON INTO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION OF THIS.

AND IS THERE ANYBODY IN OUR AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? SORRY, DID I JUMP THE GUN OR WHAT? WHAT? DID I JUMP THE GUN? ARE YOU SPEAKING FOR OR AGAINST? AGAINST. OKAY, SO WAIT JUST A SECOND.

WAIT JUST A SECOND. ALL RIGHT, SO ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO SPEAK FOR OR ON BEHALF THIS ITEM.

HELLO, EVERYBODY. DUSTIN DAVIS, THE ENGINEER OF RECORD.

I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO SOME OF THE TECHNICAL ITEMS. AND, AND BRADY ALLUDED TO SOME OF THE REASONS FOR THE LAYOUT THAT WE CAME UP WITH.

AND I MAY HAVE TOLD HIM A LITTLE BIT INCORRECTLY.

IT'S NOT FOR DRAINAGE PURPOSES. IT'S FOR SANITARY SEWER PURPOSES THAT THE LAYOUT ENDED UP THE WAY IT DID, BECAUSE WE'RE VERY LIMITED ON DEPTH OF SEWER MAINS OUT THERE.

AND WE LOOKED AT, I DON'T KNOW, 4 DIFFERENT 5, 4 OR 5, 4 OR 5, 6 DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF THIS LAYOUT.

TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKED. AND THIS WAS THE ONE THAT WORKS THE BEST.

AND THAT'S WHY WE ENDED UP WITH THE, THE 86 FOOT DEEP LOTS.

I WILL STATE ALSO THAT BRADY IS 100% CORRECT AND THAT IN THIS ZONING DISTRICT, THE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED AND DUPLEXES ARE ALLOWED. HOWEVER, THEY ARE ALLOWED WITH A DEEPER LOT.

SO IF WE, IF THE DEVELOPER CHOSE TO GO THAT WAY, THIS LAYOUT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

SO THEN THERE'S PROBABLY LESS LOTS AT THAT POINT.

IF WE DID GO THAT ROUTE, THAT'S NOT HIS INTENT.

BUT I JUST WANT TO KIND OF SHARE THAT WITH YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT. A LOT OF THE OBJECTIONS THAT ARE LISTED MOST OF THOSE WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE, LIKE BRADY SAID IN THE PRELIMINARY PLAN CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND THE PLANNING PROCESS, WHICH IS REALLY WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER JUST THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS.

SO WE'LL ADDRESS THE DRAINAGE AT THAT TIME. WE'LL ADDRESS WATER, SEWER THE PRELIMINARY PLAN.

THEN THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS CAN TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC AND SAFETY AND THOSE ISSUES.

SO I CAN ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. WE HAVEN'T GOT INTO SUPER DETAILED DESIGN YET.

SO I CAN'T GET A LOT OF INFORMATION TO YOU, BUT I CAN ANSWER AS MUCH AS I CAN REGARDING WATER, SEWER AND A LITTLE BIT OF DRAINAGE. 1 OF THE REASONS BRADY ALLUDED TO THIS TOO, WE ADDED ALLEYS FOR 2 REASONS.

[00:35:01]

AND I KNOW THAT THE THE TREND IS TO GO TOWARDS NO ALLEYS.

THAT WORKS REALLY WELL ON A FLAT PIECE OF LAND.

IT DOESN'T WORK AS WELL WITH A PIECE OF LAND THAT HAS A LOT OF TOPOGRAPHY.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE WENT WITH THE ALLEYS ALSO.

SO AND I'LL LET I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE TOO.

OKAY. THANK YOU. CINDY. DO YOU EXPECT ALL OF THESE ALLEYS WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY AND MAINTAINED BY THE CITY? YES. WHAT DO YOU THINK? FROM THE LOT PERSPECTIVE, THE AVERAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE HOME WILL BE ON THE LOT.

SPEAK TO THAT. OKAY. HELLO, MY NAME IS JOHN FULLER WITH FULLER HOMES AND NEWLIFE HOMES.

PARTICULARLY TO YOUR QUESTION. SO THE SMALLEST HOUSE WE WOULD DO WOULD BE 1200, WHICH WOULD NOT BE WHAT WE WOULD BE PROMOTING, BUT THEY WOULD ALSO GO UP TO 2000FT². 1 OF THE QUESTIONS, A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED TODAY IS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD WITH LOW INCOME HOUSING RENTAL PROPERTIES AND TINY HOMES.

SO WE'VE POSTED A SIGN OUT THERE SHOWING EXACTLY WHAT'S ALREADY EXISTING OUT THERE, WHICH IS FRONT ENTRANCE BRICK HOUSES.

WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING THAT'S ALREADY OUT THERE, STARTING FROM 1200FT² UP TO 2000FT².

SO NOTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S ALREADY CURRENTLY OUT THERE.

2 CAR GARAGE. YES, MA'AM. SO WHAT PRICE POINTS ARE YOU? THEY WOULD START AT 280,000 AND GO UP TO 340 TO 350.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK FOR ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? OKAY. NOW LET'S GO AHEAD. AND ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ITEM, WE'LL DO ONE AT A TIME.

IF YOU GUYS KIND OF WANT TO QUEUE UP ON THE FRONT, FRONT ROW OR HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO IT, AND WE'LL KIND OF GO ONE AT A TIME. SO WELCOME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. SOME OF MY COMMENTS WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT REDUNDANT AFTER EVERYTHING MR. KENDRICKS HAS SAID AND MR. FULLER AND THE OTHER GENTLEMAN SAID.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF GO AHEAD WITH WHAT I HAD WRITTEN OUT. OUR FIRST QUESTION MYSELF, MY HUSBAND, WE, WE OWN A HOME VERY NEAR THIS AREA WHERE GRANDPARENTS TO GRANDCHILDREN THAT ATTEND THE ROLLING HILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT, VERY ACTIVE WITHIN SOME OF THOSE SCHOOL ACTIVITIES THERE.

WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT HAVE GRADUATED FROM RIVER ROAD INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE ARE DEEPLY INVESTED, AS ARE MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS.

SO I'M NOT JUST COMING IN HERE AS A MOUTHPIECE TO TRY TO TAKE UP YOUR TIME AND BE A PAIN IN SOMEONE'S BOTTOM SIDE.

THAT'S NOT MY POINT. WE DID WONDER MYSELF, MY HUSBAND, AND MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS WHY THEY DIDN'T JUST GO WITH THE R-3 DESIGNATION, WHY THEY'RE PUSHING SO HARD. AFTER LISTENING TO SOME OF WHAT THEY'VE SAID AND READING SOME OF THE PAPERWORK YOU GAVE US, THOSE QUESTIONS WERE KIND OF ANSWERED.

I THINK WHAT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE, AND HE DID JUST NOW ADDRESS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE RENTAL SITUATION.

WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE RENTALS, MOBILE HOMES MANUFACTURED, DUPLEXES ATTACHED, ANY KIND OF ATTACHED DWELLINGS MADE THERE.

AND BY RIGHT, IF THIS PASSES, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY COULD DO THAT IF THEY WANTED TO.

NOW, I REALIZE THEY MIGHT HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU AND GO BACK THROUGH THE CITY COUNCIL TO ACCOMPLISH SOME OF THAT.

BUT AS HE STATED, THEY PUT THEIR SIGN UP 5 DAYS BEFORE THIS MEETING, AND THAT MADE SEVERAL OF US FEEL A LITTLE BIT STRANGE ABOUT THE SITUATION.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? UNLESS YOU FELT COMFORTABLE AS THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY THAT YOU ALREADY HAD THIS ZONING REZONING IN YOUR BACK POCKET THAT MADE SOME OF US UNCOMFORTABLE, AND IT SORT OF TAINTED THE IDEA THAT THIS IS ALL AN UPFRONT, TRANSPARENT SITUATION.

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THAT TO SEVERAL OF US.

I'M SPEAKING FOR MYSELF AND SOME OF MY CLOSEST NEIGHBORS, OBVIOUSLY NOT FOR EVERYONE IN THE ROOM.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, JUST A FEW GENERAL STATEMENTS.

THIS AREA THAT WE LIVE IN, I LIVE ON THE HUDSON AVENUE AREA, WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO WHERE THIS WOULD BE PROPOSED.

AND I DON'T WANT THIS NEW CONSTRUCTION TO HAPPEN SIMPLY BECAUSE OF MANY OF THE REASONS MR. KENDRICKS WROTE OFF ON THE PAPERWORK, THE TRAFFIC, THE CRIME, THE CHANGE TO THE CHARACTER.

BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIVE ON BRIGHTMAN AND RIGHT OFF OF [INAUDIBLE] MUST FEEL, HAVING SEEN THAT GREENERY AND THAT BEAUTIFUL AREA FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS, SOME OF THEM HAVE LIVED THERE FOR DECADES.

ONE LADY IN PARTICULAR WORKED FOR THE SCHOOL WONDERFUL LADY, AND IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO THEM JUST SO THAT A CONSTRUCTION GROUP CAN REALIZE ITS

[00:40:04]

IT'S DESIGNED TO CRAM THE MOST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE INTO THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF LAND YOU CAN GET THEM INTO.

THAT'S THE NAME OF THE GAME MAKING MONEY. THEY'RE NOT DOING THIS OUT OF THE GOODWILL.

THEY'RE MAKING MONEY, OKAY. THEY'RE ALSO INTRUDING ON OTHER PEOPLE'S WELL-BEING THE PEACEFULNESS, THE GREENNESS, THE ESTHETIC VALUE WILL BE LOST COMPLETELY FOR THOSE OF US THAT LIVE NEARBY IT, AND THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN TRAFFIC. THESE ARE JUST FACTS.

THOSE ARE NOT THERE'S NOTHING THIS COMMITTEE, THECITY COUNCIL, THE CONSTRUCTION PEOPLE CAN DO TO OBVIATE THAT.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. AND ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT THEY PUT THEIR SIGN UP 5 DAYS AGO.

IT JUST REALLY DID LEAVE A BAD TASTE IN SOME OF OUR MOUTHS.

SO I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. MR. CHAIRMAN, I DID NOT GET HER NAME.

DID YOU PROVIDE YOUR NAME TO THE. MA'AM, DID YOU PROVIDE YOUR NAME TO THE RECORD SO WE CAN.

AND WOULD YOU STATE THAT FOR US RIGHT QUICK? DO YOU MIND? WHAT WAS YOUR NAME? MY NAME? MARY SANTOS. OKAY.

THANK YOU. SO AS WE GO ALONG, IF YOU GUYS, LIKE I SAID, WOULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND WHAT YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU LIVE IN THE CITY AND THEN ALSO SIGN IN THAT WAY WE CAN MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL THAT DOWN.

SO. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. I'M LAVONDA MOSLEY AND I LIVE IN TASCOSA ACRES, WHICH IS ADJACENT TO THIS COMMUNITY.

I'M GOING TO WORK MY WAY BACKWARDS ON MY NOTES BECAUSE MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN STATED BRADY.

THANK YOU. GREAT PRESENTATION. I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CITY GETS TURNED OVER DEVELOPMENT.

01, I DON'T KNOW, JOHN. HE SEEMS LIKE A GREAT GUY.

I'VE TALKED TO HIM ON THE PHONE, BUT HE HAS NOT DONE A DEVELOPMENT. HE'S NOT DONE A DEVELOPMENT WITH THIS KIND OF NATURE IN RIVER ROAD WHERE THE GRAVITY FED IS THE SEWER FROM AMARILLO RUNS NORTH TO THE RECLAMATION PLANT, THE DRAINAGE FROM ALL THE PLAYAS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2 RUNS STRAIGHT BEHIND MY HOUSE.

WE ARE AT CAPACITY. SO HE'S GOING TO BUILD THIS.

HE'S GOING TO WALK AWAY. THE WATER'S GOING TO GO DOWN BEHIND MY HOUSE FOR DRAINAGE.

THAT'S A FACT. HE KNOWS IT. THE SEWER LINES ARE AT CAPACITY.

WE WERE TOLD 5 YEARS AGO THE RESIDENTS OF TASCOSA SAT IN A ROOM WITH FLOYD HARTMAN.

HE TOLD US OUR LINES ARE AT CAPACITY. WE WERE SCHEDULED FOR 5 YEARS TO HAVE THEM ALL REPLACED.

I'M STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY AND THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED. WE ARE AT CAPACITY WITH OUR SEWER LINES.

WE HAVE MANHOLES IN OUR IN OUR YARDS. WE HAVE TO CALL THE CITY.

WE HAVE TO ASK THEM TO COME AND SEAL THEM. TODAY THE CITY TEAM WAS THERE BECAUSE I HAD TO CALL ALAN HARTER AND DONNY HOOPER AND SAY, GET YOUR TRUCKS HERE. OUR DRAINAGE IS BACKED UP, SO IT FLOODS OUR COMMUNITY.

IT TOOK THEM HALF A DAY. THEY BROUGHT THEIR SKID LOADERS OUT. THEY BROUGHT 20 MEN.

THEY THEY CLEANED IT UP. WE HAVE TO ASK FOR THAT.

SO, YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS. THEY WALK AWAY.

THE TAXPAYERS ARE LEFT WITH THE BURDEN. SO WE HAVE DRAINAGE ISSUES.

WE HAVE SEWER ISSUES. WE HAVE FLOODING ISSUES.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN OUT INTO THE RIVER ROAD AREA, BUT YOU SHOULD TAKE A DRIVE AND YOU SHOULD GO SEE THE IRWIN BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION.

IT IS A TOTAL DISASTER. THEY PUT A 15 FOOT WALL.

IT WAS GONE. THE FIRST RAIN EVENT. I FEEL SORRY FOR LA FULLER.

I'M LIKE, DID THE CITY TELL YOU THAT THAT IS THE MAIN EXIT VEIN OF THE WATER OUTSIDE OF OUR COMMUNITY? IF THEY DIDN'T, THEY SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE WHEN HE DOESN'T MEET THAT CONTRACT BECAUSE IT'S HORRIBLE.

THE ABOVE GROUND SEWER MAINS BUST THE YUCCA BRIDGE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO REROUTE TRAFFIC BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO HIT PAVILLARD, THEY'RE GOING TO BRING IT BACK DOWN YUCCA DRIVE OVER THAT BRIDGE AND SEE HOW MANY TIMES YOU WANT TO GO ACROSS IT WITH YOUR CAR OR YOUR GRANDCHILDREN.

IT IS A DISASTER. SO ONCE THEY GET FINISHED WITH ERWIN, THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO TEAR UP YUCCA AND THEY'RE GOING TO REBUILD YUCCA.

THEN ALL OF THIS WATER PUSH IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS BECAUSE THE BIGGER AMARILLO GETS, THEY ARE IGNORING THE EXIT POINTS OF AMARILLO.

AND UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE, WE HAVE ISSUES IN AMARILLO.

I'M GOING TO ASK YOU NOT TO APPROVE THIS ZONING BECAUSE WE CANNOT TAKE THE WATER.

WE CANNOT TAKE THE SEWER IN OUR COMMUNITY. THEN YOU LOOK AT THE SCHOOL, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD A NEW SCHOOL.

WHEN THIS HAPPENS, WHERE'S THAT MONEY GOING TO COME FROM? SO I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO. BRADY HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.

BUT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO TO DECLINE THIS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS HOPE HANSEN.

[00:45:04]

IT'S LOCATED AT PAVILLARD AND REITMAN. THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR A REZONING TO MODERATE DENSITY. THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE AND DRAINAGE IS A HUGE ISSUE.

OUR COMMUNITY WAS BUILT ON AND THRIVES ON THE STABILITY OF OUR RESIDENTIAL AREA.

AND THE FAMILIES CHOSE TO INVEST THEIR LIFE AND THEIR CHILDREN'S LIVES IN THIS AREA.

TRANSITIONING THIS TO MODERATE DENSITY IS JUST SCARY FOR ALL OF US.

SO GOING TO TRAFFIC AND INFRASTRUCTURE, I GO DOWN EVERY DAY.

IT'S VERY SMALL AND I HAVE A VERY SMALL CAR AND I RUN ON THE EDGE OF THE ROADS CONSISTENTLY.

IT FLOODS. AND MY LITTLE CAR SOMETIMES MIGHT NOT MAKE IT.

NOW THE CITY IS GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO REDO THAT ROAD.

HOW FAR DOWN ARE YOU GOING TO GO TO MITIGATE ALL THE RUNOFF FROM RAIN? THIS LAST RAIN HAS PROVEN THAT AND WE FACE THESE TRAFFIC PRESSURES CONSISTENTLY THE VALUES OF OUR HOUSES. WELL, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A VERY STABLE VALUE.

WHAT'S THIS GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE? ARE THEY GOING TO GO UP? ARE THEY GOING TO GO DOWN? IF THEY GO UP, WE PAY MORE TAXES.

IF IT GOES DOWN THEN OUR INVESTMENT IS A BUST.

AND HONESTLY BACK TO THE UTILITIES AND THE DRAINAGE.

I THINK THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR THE CITY OF AMARILLO TO REDISTRICT THIS WAY BECAUSE THINGS ARE GOING TO START HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

YOU DO AS AN AS NEEDED REPAIRS. BUT I IMPLORE YOU TO THINK FORWARD.

WHAT IS THIS GOING TO DO? HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST? CITY OF AMARILLO. HOW LONG ARE THESE PROPOSALS FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE STREETS AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE DRAINAGE AND AND THE WATER AND THE SEWER.

WHAT'S THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE? THE CITY OF AMARILLO HAS TO THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE MONEY COMING OUT OF BUDGETS THAT PERHAPS SOME OF YOU HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT YET.

IF THIS REDISTRICTING OR REZONING GOES THROUGH, NOW I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR MYSELF.

I'M NOT SURE FOR MY NEIGHBORS. WE'RE NOT AGAINST YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS.

BUT WE ARE AGAINST THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, THE DRAINAGE, THE TRAFFIC YOU KNOW, THE MULTI. HOMES GOING IN. SO I DON'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF, BUT I ASKED THE COUNCIL TO PROTECT OUR INVESTMENTS TO PROTECT TAX DOLLARS FORWARD THINKING.

AND PLEASE VOTE NO ON THIS. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] HI, MY NAME IS ARACELI ORDONEZ. I ACTUALLY LIVE RIGHT ACROSS WHERE THIS IS GETTING BUILT. I LIVE AT 6100. PAVILLARD.

WELL, THIS IS OUR OUR PROPERTY. WE, ME AND MY HUSBAND TOOK ALL OF OUR INVESTMENTS AND TOOK THIS HUGE LEAP OF FAITH TO INVEST IN A PROPERTY WHERE WE WANTED TO LIVE A CERTAIN LIFESTYLE. AND THAT TO US WAS PAVILLARD ON PAVILLARD.

WE OWNED THE 5 ACRES ACROSS AND SEEING ALL THESE SIGNS COME UP WAS SOMETHING SCARY FOR US BECAUSE WE SPEND OUR WEEKENDS THERE. WE SEE THE KIDS RUNNING AROUND IN THEIR BICYCLES.

WE SEE THE KIDS IN THEIR 4 WHEELERS. WE HAVE KIDS OURSELVES.

THIS PLACE HAS BECOME LIKE A SACRED PLACE FOR US TO GET OUTSIDE OF THE CITY, FOR OUR FAMILY TO BASICALLY SPEND TIME TOGETHER.

WE HAVE A GROUP OF LIKE 15 KIDS WITH ME AND MY COUSINS AND MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS AND AND WE SPENT THE MAJORITY OF OUR TIME THERE.

SO OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS LIKE THE TRAFFIC. I DRIVE A LITTLE TELLURIDE.

AND DURING THIS WINTER, I REMEMBER PASSING BY AND IT SNOWS REALLY BAD THERE.

AND THE STREETS ARE SO NARROW THAT YOU HAVE TO KIND OF LOOK FAR AHEAD TO SEE IF THERE'S A CAR COMING AND KIND OF GIVE THEM THE RIGHT OF WAY.

IF YOU HAVE A SMALLER VEHICLE SO THAT YOU ARE NOT KIND OF PUSHED OFF THE ROAD.

[00:50:04]

I'M WORRIED ABOUT SINCE THE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PERMEABLE.

WHERE'S THIS WATER GOING TO GO TO? LIKE, IS IT GOING TO COME INTO OUR PROPERTY? IS IT GOING TO GO INTO OUR NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY? SO, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ELDERLY. AND SO THAT'S ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CONCERNS ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WAS ALREADY, YOU KNOW, MENTIONED. AND WE JUST KIND OF ASKED, YOU KNOW, TO BE CAUTIOUS OF THAT, TO BE CAUTIOUS OF THE SAFETY THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALSO GOING TO COME WITH IT. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] HELLO. MY NAME IS OLIVIA LOPEZ AND I'M JACOB LOPEZ. JACOB LOPEZ. AND WE LIVE AT 708 FAIRLANE.

WANT TO TELL THEM WHY WE WANT THEM TO VOTE? NO.

I WOULD LIKE TO VOTE NO TO THIS ESTABLISH, BECAUSE I RIDE MY BIKE A LOT AROUND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I WANT TO FEEL SAFE. MY KIDS HAVE GROWN UP OUT HERE.

I HAVE A 13 YEAR OLD AND YEAH, THAT'S 13. AND HIM, HE'S 11.

HE WENT TO ROLLING HILLS AND NOW BECAUSE OF THAT BRIDGE, IT DELAYS THEM ON GETTING HOME LATE.

AND WHAT HE USED TO GET HOME ABOUT WHAT, 4:45 AND NOW.

AND NOW. 3:45. AND NOW THEY GET HOME 45 MINUTES LATE BECAUSE OF THAT BRIDGE.

SO, YOU KNOW, THE LIKE THEY SAID, THE RUNOFFS AND ALL THAT.

AND LIKE HE WAS THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER BRIDGE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIX.

IT'S GOING TO AFFECT US. IT'S GOING TO AFFECT, WE HAVE ELDERLY NEIGHBORS AND WE KNOW ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND THEY FEEL SAFE AROUND THEM, YOU KNOW, AND JUST ADDING MORE PEOPLE TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT GOOD.

THE CRIME, THE HIGH TRAFFIC WHEN THERE'S WRECKS AROUND RIGHT OFF OF WHAT IS IT, THE LOOP.

THEY HAVE TO REROUTE THE TRAFFIC INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S HEADING NORTH ON DUMAS HIGHWAY.

AND IT GETS CRAZY OUT THERE. SO WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT THE THE CRIME, THE TRASH, THE NOISE LEVEL, ALL THAT. THESE ARE THINGS THAT THEY'VE ALREADY, YOU KNOW, MADE A POINT OF.

AND I JUST WANTED TO COME DOWN HERE AND EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS.

AND WE'D ASK THAT YOU GUYS CONSIDER THAT. AND NOT ONLY THAT, THE SCHOOLS, WE ALREADY GET A LOT OF TRANSFERS OF KIDS THAT HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT OF AISD.

AND IF THESE THESE HOMES ARE GOING TO TURN INTO LOW INCOME, WE DON'T NEED MORE, I DON'T KNOW, JUST MORE CHILDREN THAT YEAH, THAT THAT THREATEN EVEN EVEN BEING OVERCROWDED INTO INTO OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

HELLO, I'M AMANDA PARKHILL. I LIVE ON 741 FAIR LANE STREET.

I BOUGHT MY HOUSE 15 YEARS AGO. I WAS PRETTY YOUNG DOING IT, BUT I PUT ALL MY MONEY AND I GOT THE CLOSEST I COULD TO THE COUNTRY.

BUT STAYING ON THE CITY WATER AND SEWAGE, BECAUSE I AT THE TIME WAS SINGLE AND I COULDN'T AFFORD BUYING A WELL AND DIGGING REJIGGING IT IF WE HAD WILL ISSUES WHICH WE ALL KNOW THERE'S WATER ISSUES.

SO I CHOSE TO START MY LIFE THERE. BECAUSE OF THE COUNTRY ATMOSPHERE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE QUIETNESS, THE HOUSES WERE ON HALF ACRE LOTS. THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL HOMES.

EVERYBODY TAKES PRIDE IN THEIR PROPERTY. AND IT WAS JUST VERY QUIET.

I HAVE ON A REGULAR BASIS RACCOONS, POSSUMS, SKUNKS THAT MAKE A WAY IN MY NEIGHBOR IN MY YARD BECAUSE I LIKE TO FEED THEM.

AND I ALSO FEED STRAY CAT EVERY NOW AND THEN THAT NEEDS A MEAL.

I NOTICED I WALKED MY DOG EVERY DAY ON THOSE STREETS.

AND IF YOU GUYS PASS THIS, THAT'S ALSO GOING TO MAKE IT MORE DANGEROUS.

A LOT OF US THAT WALK HAVE BEEN ALMOST RAN OVER MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE PEOPLE HAUL, BUT ON PAVED AND THE ROAD IS VERY NARROW.

THERE IS NO TURNING LANE FOR ALL THIS NEW HOUSING YOU'RE TRYING TO PUT IN FOR PEOPLE TO MOVE IN AND OUT OF THIS FAIRLANE ACRES THEY'RE TRYING TO CREATE.

SO YOU WILL GET RUN OFF THE ROADS. THERE'S NO TURNING LANES, SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO GET ONTO YOUR STREET OR OUT OF YOUR STREET, BACK ONTO PAVED OR ONTO LOOP 335 SO THE TRAFFIC IS A HUGE CONCERN.

WE'RE JUST MOST OF US KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE PROGRESS.

WE KNOW AMARILLO IS GROWING. WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE TO REZONE IT TO THIS MD-1.

WHY CAN'T THEY KEEP IT TO WHERE THEIR HALF ACRE LOTS, LIKE THE REMAINDER OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR 25-30 YEARS.

I HAVE SOME NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE BEEN DOING THIS AND LIVING THERE FOR 25 YEARS, 30, 35 YEARS.

[00:55:01]

NOBODY IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREETS WANTS THIS.

SO WE'RE JUST BEGGING YOU GUYS TO MAYBE CONSIDER TO WHERE IT'S ONLY HALF ACRE LOTS OR THE OTHER AREA WHERE THERE'S THEY CAN'T PUT MODULAR HOMES OR DUPLEXES BECAUSE IT SOUNDS GOOD TO BE $280,000, BUT IF THEY CAN'T SELL THEM, THEN ALL THESE OTHER OPTIONS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR THEM.

AND WE'RE THE ONES ALL GETTING DEVASTATED BECAUSE WE LOVE WHERE WE LIVE.

AND IT'S NOT AN UNDERDEVELOPED. WE DON'T NEED LIFE BREATHED INTO IT.

IT'S A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ALL LOVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] MY NAME IS MARTHA HALL. I'VE LIVED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M VESTED. I'VE BEEN THERE 50 YEARS. MY SIBLINGS GRADUATED THE FIRST GRADUATING CLASS FROM RIVER ROAD HIGH SCHOOL TO GO FOR 4 YEARS.

MY KIDS GRADUATED FROM RIVER ROAD HIGH SCHOOL.

MY GRANDKIDS HAVE NOW GRADUATED FROM RIVER ROAD HIGH SCHOOL.

I'M VESTED IN THE RIVER ROAD AREA. THIS IS INSANITY.

TO PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY FOR ALL THE TECHNICAL ANSWERS THAT REAL THAT WE REALLY NEED BEFORE THE ZONING. BUT CALL ME NUTS.

WHY ON GOD'S GREEN ACRES WOULD WE APPROVE THE ZONING FIRST, BEFORE WE'VE DONE ALL OF THE SCIENTIFIC STUDIES THAT BACK UP WHAT THESE RESIDENTS ARE SAYING? AND I LIVE AT 725 FAIR LANE.

I LIVE ON THE CORNER OF THIS VACANT LOT AND AN ALLEY.

THE WILLOW CREEK, WHICH HAS BEEN PART OF MY LIFE FOR 50 YEARS, RUNS LESS THAN 100 YARDS BEHIND MY HOUSE.

IT FLOODS WITHIN 50 YARDS OF MY HOUSE NOW. IT IS INSANITY TO ME THAT WE WANT TO APPROVE ZONING BEFORE WE'VE GOT ALL OF THE REAL DATA THAT WE TRULY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR ROADWAYS ARE OUR SEWER, OUR WATER, OUR TRASH COLLECTION CAN ALL BE CARRIED OUT IN THE KIND OF MANNER THAT IT SHOULD BE.

IT'S ALREADY DIFFICULT TO KEEP UP WITH THE POTHOLES AND THE BRIDGES.

THE BRIDGE THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT'S WASHED OUT IS AT THE END OF MY BLOCK.

IT'S NOT EVEN I. SO THE WHOLE THING IS JUST BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION.

AND I DO BELIEVE THAT WITHOUT SPEAKING TO EVERY ONE OF THESE NEIGHBORS, ALTHOUGH I'VE SPOKE TO AN AWFUL LOT OF THEM, I'M SPEAKING FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD OF ABOUT 3000 PEOPLE, IF YOU COUNT ALL OF US THAT ARE IN THAT AREA, NONE OF US ARE AGAINST DEVELOPMENT, BUT NONE OF THIS PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT THAT'S BEING MENTIONED FOR HOUSING STILL NO BUSINESS ZONING. THERE WILL NOT BE ANOTHER NEW GAS STATION.

NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE IN THE PLAN FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

IT MAKES NO SENSE TO THE CIVILIANS THAT HAVE PUT THEIR LIVES INTO PAYING TAXES IN THIS AREA.

AND FOR THESE DEVELOPMENTS, I, WITH MY ENTIRE HEART WOULD ASK YOU TO CONSIDER NO TO THIS ZONING CHANGE.

IT'S NOT THE PROGRESSION WE'RE AGAINST, IT'S THE MANNER IT'S BEING.

UNDERHANDEDLY CART BEFORE THE HORSE DONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

HELLO, MY NAME IS KERRY FONART. I LIVE AT 705 FAIRLANE FOR ABOUT 28 YEARS NOW.

MY FATHER BOUGHT A HOUSE ON FAIRLANE WHEN I WAS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD.

SO I'VE GOT A LONG HISTORY WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

BOTH ME AND MY FATHER RETIRED FROM THE CITY OF AMARILLO.

MY BIGGEST, BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IF YOU LOOK UP HERE ON THE MAP, TO THE WEST OR LEFT OF THIS RED BOX, THERE'S ABOUT A DOZEN HOUSES.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE RED SQUARE THERE, YOU'RE TALKING 50 HOUSES, 2 STREETS, 100 CARS.

AND THAT LITTLE RED BOX THAT'S NOWHERE NEAR WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOW.

[01:00:02]

THOSE TO THE LEFT OF THAT RED SQUARE AND ALL OF US IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I THINK VERY FEW COULD SELL FOR MORE THAN 250.

SO I HAD SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM BEING ABLE TO SELL THAT KIND OF HOUSE IN THAT SMALL OF A LOT.

AND ALL IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE DRAINAGE IS YOU'VE HEARD PLENTY ABOUT TO I'M DOWN HERE.

I'M THE SECOND HOUSE OFF THE CREEK. AND IN 28 YEARS, I'VE ONLY HAD WATER UP IN MY YARD 2 OR 3 TIMES.

BUT IT DOES HAPPEN. THE CREEK OVERFLOWS AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE AS WELL, BUT I JUST WISH YOU WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS IT EXISTS NOW.

PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT COUNTRY FEEL A NICE FEEL.

AND MANY OF US HAVE A LONG HISTORY WITH THAT.

AND I WOULD JUST URGE YOU TO PRESERVE THAT AND MAKE THEM STICK MORE WITH WHAT'S ALREADY EXIST OUT THERE.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

HELLO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I'M KAYLA HERNANDEZ AND I LIVE AT 725 FAIRLANE.

SO I'VE BEEN IN RIVER ROAD MY WHOLE LIFE AND IT REALLY JUST MAKES ME SAD.

I'M USING THIS AS AN EXAMPLE. DRIVING DOWN WESTERN STREET, WE'RE GETTING ALL KINDS OF NEW BUILDS YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE ACROSS WESTERN STREET BECAUSE OF ALL THE DIRT. SO WE'RE ALREADY LOSING SOME OF OUR COUNTRY FEEL THERE ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

I'VE SEEN HORNY TOADS ON THERE. THERE'S ALL KINDS OF WILDLIFE.

SO I'M JUST CURIOUS, ARE WE GOING TO DO LIKE HAVE A WILDLIFE? THE PEOPLE COME IN AND CHECK ALL THAT BECAUSE AS FAR AS I KNOW, THAT WOULD BE LIKE TEARING DOWN A TREE THAT A BALD EAGLE LIVES IN, RIGHT? AREN'T THE HORNY TOADS PROTECTED RIGHT HERE FEDERALLY? SOMETHING I THINK THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER AND LOOK INTO.

I DON'T THINK I NEED TO BE REDUNDANT AND TELL Y'ALL EVERYTHING THEY'VE SAID.

ALTHOUGH I CAN SHOW YOU A PICTURE ON MY PHONE OF JUST THE RESIDUAL AFTER THE RAIN ON ERWIN.

THE AMOUNT OF ROCKS AND DIRT THAT ARE FLOWING DOWN TO THAT CREEK.

IF WE'RE ALREADY HAVING THAT PROBLEM, FILLING THAT WITH CONCRETE ISN'T GOING TO HELP ANYTHING.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] HELLO, MY NAME IS JASON PARKHILL. I LIVE ON 741 FAIRLANE STREET.

GOOD AFTERNOON GENTLEMEN. LADIES. BEFORE FOX HOLLOW WAS BUILT, THERE WAS LESS TRAFFIC THROUGH THERE.

BUT NOW, SINCE THAT RIGHT THERE IS BUILT. THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT PASSES THROUGH THERE. AND WE HAVE WOMEN AND CHILDREN WALKING, RIDING BICYCLES, EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. IF WE PUT 100 CARS RIGHT THERE, THAT'S GOING TO INCREASE.

SOMEBODY'S GETTING HURT, POSSIBLY TAKING A LIFE, AND YOU CAN'T GET ATTACKED BY A SHARK IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE WATER.

AND THIS RIGHT HERE IS GOING TO BE THROWING PLENTY OF SHARKS OUT THERE. ALSO, IF YOU DO CONSTRUCTION RIGHT THERE IN THAT AREA, AMARILLO IS REAL WINDY. YOU'RE GOING TO BLOW DUST AND DIRT ALL OVER THOSE HOUSES AROUND THE AREA, AND SOMEBODY'S GOT TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT OUR JOB TO DO THAT.

AND THE QUOTE DWIGHT. DWIGHT D EISENHOWER PLANS ARE USELESS, BUT PLANNING IS INDISPENSABLE.

WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW WITH OUR WATER, NOBODY'S EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THE TRANSFORMERS FOR ELECTRICITY. HOW'S THE TRANSFORMERS GOING TO REACT WHEN WE GO HOOK UP POWER? THEY'RE GOING TO GET SUPER HOT AND THEY'RE GOING TO EXPLODE.

SO I PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE NO ON THIS SITUATION.

THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HI, MY NAME IS MISTY BURNS. I LIVE AT 733 FAIRLANE.

WE'VE BEEN THERE. I MEAN, MY HUSBAND'S BEEN THERE FOR 15 YEARS.

I HAVE GRANDBABIES, I WALK MY DOG EVERY DAY DOWN THESE STREETS.

MY CONCERN IS 51 HOUSES IN THAT LITTLE BITTY SQUARE, LOW INCOME DUPLEXES OR WHATEVER.

AND I'M NOT I DON'T JUDGE, BUT I GOT OUT OF AMARILLO, AMARILLO, NOT TO DEAL WITH THE SAN JACINTO, WITH ALL THE CRIME AND VIOLENCE. AND WE DON'T HAVE VIOLENCE OUT HERE.

OUT THERE. WE DON'T HAVE BURGLARIES. WE DON'T HAVE BREAK INS.

IF YOU HAD 51 HOUSES IN THIS LITTLE BITTY SQUARE, I'M I'M WORRIED.

I'M EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT THAT. AND THEY SAID ABOUT THE SCHOOLS, WE HAVE 2 SCHOOLS.

WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE USED TO BE WAS IT A MIDDLE SCHOOL ON RIVER ROSE STREET THAT THEY CLOSED BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ENOUGH KIDS GOING THERE.

[01:05:08]

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR ALL THESE EXTRA KIDS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING.

NOT THAT I'M KIDS, I LOVE KIDS, I JUST I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.

I'M JUST SAYING, PLEASE, I'M ASKING YOU NOT TO DO THIS BECAUSE THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS STUPID.

I'M SORRY, BUT IT'S THAT'S WAY TOO MANY HOMES ON THIS LITTLE BITTY BLOCK OF AREA RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

I SEE THIS EMPTY FIELD. I'M NOT SAYING DON'T APPROVE IT.

YES, WE WANT WE WANT SOMETHING GOOD THAT WE WANT RESIDENTIAL LIKE THE REST OF US HAVE SAME HOUSING, MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE REST OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS AND WE'D LIKE TO KEEP IT THIS WAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ITEM? HI, MY NAME IS SARAH O'NEILL.

I LIVE AT 313 HUDSON AVENUE, WHICH IS JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EAST DEMERARA CREEK.

WHAT I WANTED TO BRING UP WAS JUST A FEW THINGS I.

I LOVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I DO FEEL COMPLETELY SAFE THERE AND I WALK QUITE A BIT, BUT IF YOU LOOK, YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE VERY, VERY FEW SIDEWALKS IN OUR AREA.

AND I MEAN, LIKE RIGHT NOW, I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS, BUT I UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY DEVELOP THIS AREA, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SIDEWALKS AND EVERYTHING.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US THAT WALK THIS AREA AND THERE'S GOING TO BE INCREASED TRAFFIC.

AND ALSO ANOTHER THING IS THERE ARE NO PARKS CLOSE BY FOR THE KIDS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO BE MORE KIDS IN THE AREA WITH ALL THESE HOMES.

AND THE CLOSEST ONE WOULD BE LIKE THE RIVER ROAD PARK UP THE ON WILLOW VISTA PARK.

FROM OUR USED TO BE A ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I THINK IT'S NOW EARLY EDUCATION AND ALSO THE ROLLING HILLS SCHOOL RIGHT NOW HAS AN F RATING, WHICH I DON'T KNOW HOW PARENTS ARE EVEN OKAY WITH THAT, BUT I'VE HEARD THE EXCUSE IS BECAUSE WE HAVE 60% LOWER INCOME FAMILIES IN THAT AREA. HOWEVER, PLEASANT VALLEY ELEMENTARY THAT WAS, IS IN AISD. THEY HAD AN A RATING WITH THE SAME SOCIO ECONOMIC CLASS.

SO I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW RIVER ROAD SCHOOL DISTRICT CAN EVEN HELP, YOU KNOW, OR EVEN ABSORB MORE KIDS IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO THOSE ARE THE, A FEW OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO BRING FORWARD. AND I JUST HOPE THAT YOU GUYS WILL VOTE NO FOR THIS NEW ZONING.

WE'RE NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT. IT'S JUST THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THAT AREA.

AND SO IF WE COULD JUST KIND OF TONE IT DOWN SOME, THAT WOULD BE BETTER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] DO YOU HAVE ANYBODY ELSE.

OKAY. CHRIS ROBINSON, I LIVE AT 732 RIEDMAN.

I OPPOSE THIS. I HAVE TO ASK A QUESTION. HOW HARD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO GO AROUND TO ALL THE NEIGHBORS, ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS? NOTHING. WE GOT NOTHING. INSTEAD, WE GOT A SIGN THAT WAS POSTED OUT RIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF MY YARD SAYING IT'S REZONING.

SO AS A RESIDENTS THAT LIVE RIGHT ACROSS FROM THAT POLE BARN RIGHT THERE, WHAT IS THERE ANY TYPE OF RESPECT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD? IS IT REALLY? I DON'T THINK THERE IS. SO MOVING ON WITH THAT.

WE'VE TOUCHED ABOUT THE DRAINAGE. I'VE EVEN CALLED THE CITY BECAUSE THAT DRAINAGE DOWN THERE ON IRWIN.

YOU GOT WEEDS GROWING UP 3, 4 FEET TALL. WE NEVER GET A.

[01:10:02]

IF THEY DO, THEY'RE HAULING THROUGH THERE. THEY'RE NOT EVEN REALLY SWEEPING ANYTHING.

THEY'RE JUST PUSHING DIRT OVER IT, JUST RUNNING IT OVER.

SO THAT'S NOT REALLY DOING US ANYTHING. AND WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO BUILDING 51 HOMES IN THIS AREA. I.T'S I WANT TO IT'S SHOVING 10 POUNDS OF CRAP IN A 5 POUND SOCK. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING. SO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, WHEN YOU SELL THESE HOMES, WHO ARE YOU SELLING THESE HOMES TO? YOU SAY DUPLEXES, SINGLE DETACHED HOMES. BUT WHAT I HEAR, DUPLEXES, WHAT I HEAR IS SOMEBODY'S GOING TO SAY, OH, THERE'S A CHANCE TO BUY A DUPLEX. SO I'M GOING TO BUY THAT DUPLEX AS AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY.

AND SO WHO'S GOING TO MOVE IN THAT DUPLEX? WHO KNOWS.

WHO KNOWS. AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS WERE ALL GREAT PEOPLE.

WE HAVE 0 CRIME OUT HERE. 0. THE LAST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN A COP OUT HERE WAS THEY.

THEY'LL EITHER SIT UP THE CHURCH OR THE CHURCH DOWN ON IRWIN.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THERE'S NO CRIME OUT HERE.

YOU PUT PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO GO IN THESE DUPLEXES AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE RENTERS, RIGHT? THERE'S THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THAT. THERE'S JUST GOING TO BE RENTERS. BUT WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE GOING TO BE? THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. OKAY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE AND HAVE EVERYBODY AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THAT WANTS TO. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS MARY MCKEE. I DON'T LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I LIVE JUST DOWN FROM THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I LIVE ON 404 EAST WILLOW CREEK. AND YES, I HAVE A CREEK THAT RUNS DOWN MY BACKYARD.

AND OFTEN IT RUNS INTO MY POLE BUILDING. I HAVE PICTURES OF MY GRANDKIDS PLAYING OUT IN THE WATER BY THE GRAPEVINES WHERE THE CREEK HAS COME UP, AND THE GRAPEVINES. I DON'T I DON'T WANT THIS TYPE OF AN INFRASTRUCTURE. WHAT? NOT? OH. I'M SORRY. I DON'T WANT THIS TOP OF DEVELOPMENT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

I DON'T WANT IT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. BECAUSE THEY'D HAVE TO BUY MY LAND.

I WAS TOLD THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO COME TO THIS MEETING BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT I CAME TO SAY THAT ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE DRAINAGE, THE SEWAGE, THE CITY HAVING TO COME AND EMPTY OUR GARBAGE, IT IS GOING TO BE WAY TOO MUCH ON OUR CITY AND OUR TAXES.

IT'S NOT THEY'RE NOT I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IT INTO Y'ALL'S BUDGET.

I KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME AND CHOP DOWN THE TREES THAT ARE FLOATING DOWN THE MY, I CALL IT A RIVER, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A CREEK.

SO AND I'VE LIVED OUT THERE FOR MY MOTHER IN LAW HAD THE PROPERTY AND WE HAVE THE PROPERTY.

WE'VE BEEN OUT THERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS. AND YES, OUR CREEK DOES FLOOD.

THANK GOD IT HASN'T COME UP TO THE HOUSE YET.

BUT I APPRECIATE IT IF Y'ALL WOULD VOTE NO ON THIS, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ONLY THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S FURTHER DOWN THE CREEK. IT'S FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.[APPLAUSE] HI. I WASN'T REALLY PREPARED TO COME SPEAK ON THIS, BUT I FEEL VERY STRONG ABOUT IT.

I AM DEFINITELY AGAINST IT. I SEE WAY MORE CONS THAN PROS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE NEIGHBOR ACROSS FROM ME WAS THE VERY FIRST HOUSE EVER BUILT ON THE STREET.

I LIVE AT 716 REITMAN AND MR. LEONARD. ACROSS FROM ME WAS THE VERY FIRST ONE TO BUILD THE HOUSE IN 1961.

HE IS STILL THERE. I DON'T THINK HE COULD MAKE IT TODAY.

ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS ARE AGAINST THIS, THE HOUSE THAT I AM IN.

MY DAD WAS THE 2ND OR 3RD TO BUILD ON THE STREET.

[01:15:04]

BUT HE OWNED IT. IT WAS A ONE OWNER HOME FOR 58 YEARS.

HE PASSED. I HAVE ASSUMED IT NOW FOR THE LAST YEAR.

I GREW UP THERE. I'M NOT GOING TO REHASH EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS ALREADY COVERED.

I DEFINITELY SEE HOUSE VALUES GOING DOWN. AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO SELL, THERE'S A CERTAIN WITHOUT SOUNDING BAD LIFESTYLE MODERATE MODESTY, BUT A LIFESTYLE THERE AND PEOPLE THAT COME IN AND RENT AND THINGS WITH DUPLEXES AND RENT HOUSES, I'M NOT AGAINST THAT, BUT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE SAME INVESTMENT IN THEIR PLACE THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE INVESTED IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND HOUSES DO.

IT STARTED OUT AS 2 LOTS FOR A REASON. EACH HOUSE WAS 2 LOTS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.

AND SOMETHING I WILL TOUCH UPON GROWING UP. AND THEN EVEN IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT NOW BECAUSE THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

BUT YOU ALWAYS HAD TO DRIVE INTO TOWN TO GO TO THE MALL, TO GO TO THE DOCTOR, THE HOSPITAL, THE RESTAURANTS, ANYTHING YOU HAD TO DRIVE IN.

AND THE TRADE OFF WAS YOU GOT TO LIVE OUT HERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WAS MORE PEACEFUL, THAT HAD LESS CRIME. THAT WAS ESTABLISHED. WE'RE TALKING ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE'RE TALKING ESTABLISHED HOUSES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY INVESTED AND CARE ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEIR NEIGHBORS AND NOT LACK THINGS THAT I SEE ACROSS TOWN. SO LIKE I SAID, I WON'T BE REDUNDANT WITH EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY HAS SAID BECAUSE I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH ALL OF THOSE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. AND I JUST SEE MORE CONS THAN PROS.

SOMETHING ELSE REALLY QUICK. MOST I LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF RIETMAN SO IT'S JUST GOING TO BE JUST A LITTLE BIT FARTHER THERE ON THE STREET. RIGHT NOW MOST OF THE TRAFFIC HAS TO GO UP ERWIN AND PAVILLARD TO GET TO SAINT FRANCIS.

YOU USED TO WALK ON SAINT FRANCIS. IT BECAME 335.

YOU DON'T EVEN REALLY BARELY, HARDLY EVEN LOOK AT IT.

I MEAN, ALL THE TRUCKS AND ALL THE STUFF, THAT'S A WHOLE ANOTHER THING.

BUT IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. IN FACT, A FEW MONTHS AGO, THERE WAS A DEATH RIGHT THERE AT AT ERWIN AND AND 335.

IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. AND YOU'RE ADDING ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE COMING AND GOING AND ALL THAT, AND THEY'LL BE COMING UP AND DOWN THESE OTHER STREETS NOW MORE.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE MORE DANGEROUS FOR EVERYBODY, ALONG WITH ALL THE MORE TRAFFIC.

BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] WHAT WAS WHAT WAS YOUR NAME? I'M SORRY. GAY RITCHIE. AND HOWARD RITCHIE BUILT ON THAT.

59, 58. WELL, IT'S 60 YEARS AGO, BUT WE'VE HAD THAT HOUSE NOW.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? HI, MY NAME IS AMY FAUSTINA. I LIVE AT 736 RIETMAN.

MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT JUST 5 YEARS AGO. WE'RE NOT AS INVESTED AS MANY OF THE FAMILIES ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAVE BEEN OUT THERE 35 PLUS YEARS.

BUT WE BOUGHT OUT HERE FOR A REASON. WE LIVED IN AMARILLO OFF OF WESTERN AND 11TH STREET, AND ON THAT STREET THERE WERE PROBABLY 8, MAYBE TEN HOMES THAT WERE OWNER OCCUPIED. ALL THE REST OF THE HOMES WERE RENTALS.

WE MOVED OUT HERE TO GET AWAY FROM THAT. WE MOVED OUT HERE FOR THE PEACE.

WE MOVED OUT HERE FOR THE ROOM BETWEEN THE HOUSES.

WE MOVED OUT THERE TO BREATHE. AND I JUST. YOU WANT TO CRAM 51 HOUSES ACROSS THE STREET, AND I SEE THAT A BUNCH OF THEM WILL PROBABLY END UP AS RENTALS. 1200 SQUARE FOOT HOMES. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO.

FAMILIES ARE GOING TO OUTGROW THEM. AND THEN INVESTORS ARE GOING TO COME IN AND BUY THOSE PROPERTIES.

AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT. WE GOT AWAY FROM AND I WOULD LIKE TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT.

I LIVE AT 736. I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT.

I LOVE COMING OUT HERE AND SEEING THE SUNSET AND THE OPEN PASTURE ACROSS THE STREET.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT HOUSE TO START WITH.

AND I WILL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO. IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE AGAINST IMPROVEMENTS ON THERE, BUT IT'S LIKE, I WANT TO SEE THE HOUSES LIKE ON HALF ACRE OR MAYBE EVEN QUARTER ACRES.

NOT THE 50 OF THEM CRAMMED UP IN THIS LITTLE TINY SPOT OUT THERE.

ANYWAY, THAT'S MY PET PEEVE. AND THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

DO YOU HAVE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?

[01:20:06]

SO I DO THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS I DO NEED TO APOLOGIZE.

LOOKING AT THE PICTURE THERE, MY YARD NEEDS TO BE MOWED, AND I TOOK CARE OF THAT.

SO WE WE'RE GOOD TO GO. WE ARE GOOD TO GO. REAL QUICK, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A LOT OF THIS WORKS.

AND TO ME, THE NUMBERS ARE, ARE REALLY WONKY.

AND I'D LIKE TO REDISTRICTING AND YOU KNOW HOW MANY UNITS PER ACRE.

ETC. I DO JUST HAVE A QUESTION ON THERE. THE FAIRLANES ACRES UNIT 2 AS ORIGINALLY PLATTED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. DOES THAT MEAN SOMEBODY CAME UP WITH IT YEARS AGO AND THAT'S HOW THEY WANTED THAT ENTIRE DIVISION BUILT? BECAUSE IF SO, DID WAS THAT SOMEBODY WISHES OR IS THAT JUST SOMETHING SOMEBODY DECIDED? AND NOW HERE WE ARE 30 YEARS, 60 YEARS LATER, DECIDING, WELL, WE'RE JUST GOING TO THROW AWAY THE WISHES OF WHATEVER THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT IS TO COME UP WITH THIS OTHER DENSITY, YOU KNOW, 12.811 UNITS PER ACRE.

IS THAT GOING AGAINST A SOMEBODY ELSE'S WISHES OF THAT AREA? BECAUSE IF IT IS, THEN I, I REALLY THINK THAT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE BEST DIRECTION WE SHOULD BE GOING IN.

WE SHOULD BE HONORING WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT OUT THERE.

THANK YOU.[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK AGAINST THE ITEM? OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK ON FOR ANY OTHER REASON BEFORE WE MOVE ON? MOVE ON. OKAY.ITEM, RIGHT? I JUST WOULD LIKE TO ADD ONE MORE THING TO IT.

WELL, WE'VE ALREADY WE'VE ALREADY MADE A DECISION AND HEARD THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TALK ON IT AT COUNCIL.

I BELIEVE BRADY, IF YOU WANT TO EXPAND ON THAT.

YES. THE ITEMS TODAY, THESE 2 REZONINGS THEY WILL GO.

LET ME PULL MY NOTES HERE. THEY WILL BE ON THE OCTOBER 27TH, 2026 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AT 3 P.M.

IN THE SAME ROOM. SO THAT'S WHEN THAT REZONING.I JUST WANT IT TO BE SINGLE DWELLING RESIDENTIAL.

I CAN SPEAK WITH YOU AFTER THE MEETING IF YOU WANT TO HANG AROUND AND I CAN TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT.

OKAY. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. YEP. NO PROBLEM. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. I WANT TO ADDRESS 2 THINGS. 1, I ACTUALLY REALLY APPRECIATE I KNOW I LOOK LIKE THE BAD GUY, BUT I DO WANT TO REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS COME OUT AT A COMMUNITY FOR RIVER ROAD. I REALLY DO THINK THAT'S AWESOME.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO ADDRESS THAT I DON'T THINK THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS TO BRING CLARITY.

WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS 16 MORE LOTS. AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE DRAINAGE.

I THINK IN EVERYBODY'S MIND THEY'RE THINKING HALF ACRE, 1 ACRE, DIFFERENT LOTS.

THE CURRENT ZONING ALREADY IS ALLOWING FOR 35 TO 40 HOUSES.

THE WAY IT'S PLATTED, WE'RE ONLY ASKING FOR 16.

AND IT'S REALLY BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE ENGINEER NEEDS THINGS TO FLOW.

SO WE'RE NOT TRYING TO, QUOTE, SHOVE MORE HOUSES DOWN ANYBODY'S THROAT OR DO ANYTHING.

IT'S ALREADY ZONED FOR THAT MANY HOUSES. AND THE OTHER THING THAT I THINK IS A BIG CONCERN THAT I'VE HEARD OVER AND OVER IS YOU GUYS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT DUPLEXES.

IF IF WHAT GETS PASSED TODAY, WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR, WE WILL NOT.

AGAIN, I WANT TO RESTATE, WE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO DUPLEXES.

SO THAT CAN ONLY BE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. SO I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT, THAT WE'RE NOT ASKING TO PUT DUPLEXES, LOW INCOME HOUSING, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD NICER. SO I THINK, WELL, I'M NOT AND I'M NOT, I'M NOT SAYING THE HOUSE, I'M NOT SAYING IT'S NOT NICE. I'M JUST SAYING WE'RE PROVIDING A NICE QUALITY PRODUCT.

I'M NOT TRYING TO IT'S ALREADY ZONED TO PUT THAT MANY HOUSES.

WE'RE ASKING BECAUSE OF THE ZONING. AND THE OTHER THING I DO WANT TO APOLOGIZE.

JUST ONE QUICK THING, MRS. SANTOS. AND I APOLOGIZE IF I SAID YOUR NAME WRONG.

THE REASON WE PUT A SIGN OUT THERE WAS TO HELP WITH THE RUMORS.

[01:25:02]

THE SIGN WAS LITERALLY SIMPLY FOR TO HELP BRING CLARITY TO THE COMMUNITY AND ACTUALLY TRY TO TRY TO CLEAR THINGS UP AND NOT CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. SO IF THAT DID IT, I'M SORRY, I WASN'T TRYING TO STIR ANYTHING UP, WHICH I DID.

SO I'M SORRY, BUT THAT WASN'T THE POINT. SO I JUST WANT TO BRING SOME CLARITY AGAIN.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR THAT MANY HOUSES THAT ARE ALREADY ZONED FOR THAT SPECIFICALLY.

COME ON UP. COME ON. COME ON UP TO THE MIC IF YOU WOULD.

THE REASON WHY WE HAVE TO USE THE MIC IS BECAUSE THE MEETINGS ARE ACTUALLY BEING BROADCAST.

AND IF WE DON'T USE THE MICS, NOBODY ONLINE CAN HEAR US.

YOU SAID THE SIGN, RIGHT? WELL, IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT SIGN, I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN ABOUT ANY OF IT.

AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE RUMORS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW RUMORS.

I JUST SAW THIS. YOUR SIGN LOOKED IT UP, AND THEN THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED Y'ALL WERE PLANNING ON DOING IT.

SO HOW DID YOU HOW DID YOU LET EVERYBODY KNOW BEFORE YOU PUT THE SIGN UP THAT THAT WAS EVEN IN PROGRESS, THAT Y'ALL HAD IT, THAT Y'ALL WERE TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING ON THAT PROPERTY. DID YOU LET ANY OF US KNOW ANY WHAT OTHER OTHER THAN THAT SIGN THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN? SO I UNDERSTAND JUST THE PROCESS OF THIS STUFF.

IF WE WANT TO BRING SOMETHING TO ZONING OR WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING, WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS WE HIRE AN ENGINEER AND THEN THEY PRESENT IT TO ZONING, AND THAT'S THE PROCESS. SO I WAS LITERALLY JUST TRYING TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS OF THE CITY EXPECTS AND HOW THINGS WORK.

SO I WASN'T TRYING TO UNDERCUT IT. I WAS JUST TRYING TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS.

THAT'S ALL YOU MEAN? YEAH. NO, ABSOLUTELY. MY NEIGHBOR RIGHT HERE, SHE WALKED THE THE WHOLE THE WHY CAN'T WE ALL WALK TO EVERY NEIGHBOR AND TELL THEM YOUR PLAN AND SEE WHAT OUR OPINION WAS ABOUT IT? IF Y'ALL REALLY CARED ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. SORRY, THAT WAS IT.

BRADY. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, WHEN WAS THE NOTICE PUT OUT THAT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL REZONING ON THIS PROPERTY? SO WE FOLLOWED THE STATE MANDATED GUIDELINES.

I DON'T HAVE THOSE SPECIFIC DATES WE POSTED IN THE PAPER AND EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF ME, BUT WE DID MEET THEM.

WE POSTED SIGNS ON THE PROPERTY THAT AND I KNOW WE GOT CALLS ON THEM BECAUSE PEOPLE INDICATED THEY SAW THEM.

BUT THERE'S SIGNS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY THAT HAVE THE CITY'S PHONE NUMBER AND A QR CODE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO TAKE YOU TO THE POSTING ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE.

SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO DO PER STATE LAW.

WE HAVE TO POST IT IN THE PAPER NO LATER THAN 15 DAYS BEFORE THE REQUEST THAT WAS DONE.

WE HAVE TO POST ON THE WEBSITE ALSO WITHIN 15 DAYS, AND THAT WAS DONE AS WELL.

THE SIGNS HAVE TO GO UP ON THE PROPERTY WITHIN 10 DAYS.

THE THE CITY SIGNS, NOT THE DEVELOPER SIGN. AND THEN ALSO THE LAST ONE IS THE MAIL NOTICES THAT GO, LET ME GO TO THAT MAP. SO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE PROPERTY THAT'S IN THE GRAY SHADING, THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN NOTICES NO LATER THAN TEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING TODAY. AND WE ACTUALLY PUT THOSE IN THE MAIL SOONER THAN THE 10 DAYS.

SO ACTUALLY WE GAVE MORE TIME THAN THE STATE MANDATES ON THAT ACTUALLY.

SO THOSE WERE THE ITEMS THAT THE STEPS THAT THE CITY TOOK TO ENSURE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS INFORMED OF THE POTENTIAL CASE OUT HERE.

THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? COMMISSIONERS, ANYTHING? I THINK WE'RE GOOD. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK ON ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS? I DO. MARTHA HALL 725. FAIRLANE. I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT OUR WHAT THE CONTRACTOR JUST SAID ABOUT THE ZONING. NOW, THERE'S A PARAGRAPH IN THE THICKEST SHEATH OF PAPERS.

THEY'RE NOT NUMBERED. SO I CAN'T GIVE YOU A PAGE NUMBER.

BUT HE'S SAYING THE ZONING THAT HE THE CHANCE OF DUPLEXES IS NOT THERE ALREADY ACCORDING TO THIS. AND THIS IS WRITTEN RIGHT HERE. THEY HAVE BY RIGHTS TO BUILD WHATEVER THEY WANT TO REGARDLESS OF THE ZONING.

SO IF IF WE ARE NOT CAREFUL HOW THIS IS ZONED, THEN BY RIGHTS, THIS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY CAN PUT IN. AND IT IS THE. IN THE PARAGRAPH, 3RD PARAGRAPH DOWN ON THE PAGE IN THE MODERN DENSITY DISTRICT ONE.

IN ADDITION TO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES, ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL PRODUCTS ARE ALLOWED, INCLUDING SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED TOWNHOMES AND DUPLEXES.

WHILE THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

STAFF MUST NOTE. I'M ASSUMING BY STAFF THEY MEAN Y'ALL, Y'ALL, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE JUST CITIZENS.

SO SOMEBODY IN THIS ROOM IS STAFF. AND WE'RE JUST TO CLARIFY, WE ARE ALL ACTUALLY APPOINTED VOLUNTEERS.

[01:30:07]

STAFF MUST NOTE THAT ANY USE ALLOWED MODERN DENSITY DISTRICT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE PROPERTY BY RIGHT WITHOUT A ZONING CHANGE. IF THE DESIGNATION WERE TO BE APPROVED FOR THE PROPERTY, THEY STILL CAN DO PRETTY MUCH WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. IF WE'RE NOT REAL CAREFUL WITH HOW YOU GUYS VOTE ON THIS ZONING ISSUE.

SO TO TELL ME SOMETHING'S GRANDFATHERED IN THAT REALLY ISN'T GRANDFATHERED IN.

I HAVEN'T GOT REAL INVOLVED IN MY, IN MY AREA IN POLITICAL THINGS SUCH AS THIS, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I WILL BEGIN TO LOOK FOR A LITTLE MORE VOICE THAN WE ALREADY HAVE.

SHOULD THIS KEEP GETTING PUSHED UP? HOW YOU GUYS VOTE WE'RE GOING TO GO FOR BECAUSE THAT'S HOW OUR GOVERNMENT WORKS.

AND WE'RE TOLD THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE. BUT I WOULD ASK YOU ONE MORE TIME, RECONSIDER THIS ZONING.

IT IS NOT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

I GET IT THAT THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO MAKE MONEY.

THEY NEED TO DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. THANK YOU.

JUST WANT TO ADD SOMETHING TO IT. MY NAME IS AMANDA PARKHILL.

I LIVE AT 741 FAIRLANE. HOW? HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T REALLY.

EVEN IF WE DON'T GET IT REZONED, HE'S ALREADY APPROVED FOR LIKE, 25, 30 HOMES.

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT COMES INTO PLAY EITHER.

THERE'S 1 HOUSE RIGHT NOW ON THAT WHOLE PROPERTY, AND ALL THE HOUSES SURROUNDING IT ARE HALF ACRE LOTS.

SO WHEN AND WHERE DID THEY ALREADY GET APPROVED TO PUT 25-30 HOMES AND NOW THEY'RE ONLY ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 16.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. WHEN DID THAT CHANGE? BRADY, DO YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THE CURRENT THE CURRENT ZONING IS IS WHAT IT.

YES, EXACTLY. JASON. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 1, WHICH PRETTY MUCH ALL THE LOTS OUT THERE WILL EXCEED THE MINIMUMS THAT ARE ALLOWED IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT. AND I'LL GO OVER WHAT THOSE ARE.

SO IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 1, WHICH IS THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE PROPERTY, THE LOT MINIMUMS ARE THE FOLLOWING.

75 OR 7500FT² IS THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE WITH MINIMUM DIMENSIONS OF 60 BY 100.

SO THAT'S WHAT IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED BY, RIGHT.

IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO BUY THAT PROPERTY AND DECIDE TO SUBDIVIDE IT AND TRY TO DEVELOP IT, DEVELOP IT, SO THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COME IN AND DO TODAY, SOMEBODY WITHOUT HAVING THE REQUESTED ZONING CHANGE.

IF THEIR LOTS MET THOSE MINIMUM STANDARDS, THEN ESSENTIALLY THEY'D BE ABLE TO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS STEP AND COULD GO STRAIGHT INTO INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN AND SUBDIVISION. SO BY RIGHT, 7500 IS THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE THAT'S ALLOWED OUT THERE TODAY.

AND I KNOW THE LOTS OUT THERE WELL EXCEED THAT AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED.

BUT PER THE ZONING THOUGH THAT'S WHAT THEORETICALLY COULD BE DONE ON THE PROPERTY TODAY.

SO HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN ZONED R-1. DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA ON THAT? BETTY DODGE. DODGE. SORRY. THE LADY THAT LIVED ON THE PROPERTY THAT JUST HAD IT SOLD FROM HER FAMILY, SHE THEY BOUGHT AND MADE THAT HOUSE. 1959. NO.

BRADY WAS ASKING, HOW LONG HAS THAT ZONING EXISTED ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY? WE'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AND SEE WHEN THAT WAS DESIGNATED.

OKAY. DON'T KNOW THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, THOUGH. BUT WE COULD GO BACK AND LOOK PROBABLY WHEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AT LEAST THE LAST FEW DECADES.

YES. BECAUSE THE CITY'S LAST MAJOR OVERHAUL OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE WAS IN 1968.

AND ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE THE ZONING DISTRICTS HAVE ALL CHANGED NAMES THROUGH THE YEARS AND THERE'S BEEN ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THEM, BUT WE'D HAVE THE STAFF WOULD HAVE TO GO AND SEE WHEN THAT WAS FORMALLY ASSIGNED.

BUT IT'S, IT'S BEEN THIS WAY AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN WITH THE CITY AND PROBABLY WELL BEFORE THEN THIS AREA.

SO. OKAY. THANK YOU. I JUST KNOW THAT THE LADY THAT RECENTLY LEFT THAT PROPERTY, HER NAME IS BETTY DODSON.

AND SHE USED TO BRAG OF HOW MUCH SHE LOVED THAT LAND.

AND IT WAS FROM 1959 WHEN THAT WAS ESTABLISHED.

SO IT'S BEEN UNTOUCHED AND HASN'T BEEN MESSED WITH AT LEAST SINCE THAT FAR BACK.

AND IT WASN'T TOUCHED WHEN SHE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.

THAT'S WHY SHE WAS PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT IT. AND HER AND HER FAMILY PLANTED THEIR OWN SAND PLUMS THERE FROM THE LAKE MEREDITH,

[01:35:02]

AND LIKE SHE HAD MENTIONED IN THE PAST, THERE'S HORNY TOADS AND THERE'S A LOT OF WILDLIFE AND STUFF, AND ALL OF US MOVED OUT THERE BECAUSE WE LIKED THAT QUIET COUNTRY NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL.

SURE, SURE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. JIM FAUSTINO IS 736, RIGHT? THERE IS A QUESTION A FEW MINUTES AGO ABOUT WHEN WE WERE NOTIFIED THE FIRST TIME, RIGHT ACROSS, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE. MY FRONT DOOR BASICALLY IS THE, THE QR CODE THAT IS MOUNTED ON THE SIDE OF THE, THE FENCING OF THE PROPERTY. AND IT'S THE ONLY ONE ALONG WHITMAN.

I DON'T HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT FAIRLANE, BUT CERTAINLY ON TREATMENT AND IT WAS POSTED ON SEPTEMBER 18TH.

THAT IS WHEN I OPENED UP THE QR CODE AND IT SENT US TO THIS TO TODAY'S MEETING.

IT HAD NOTHING ELSE PRIOR TO THAT. IT WAS SEPTEMBER 18TH AND SENDING US DIRECTLY TO OCTOBER 5TH.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

SO TASCOSA ACRES WAS PLATTED IN 1963. OUR LINES ARE 1963.

OUR WATER LINES AND OUR SEWER LINES. WE HAVE PHOTOS WHERE THE WATER MAIN BROKE RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE THIS YEAR.

THE LINES ARE RUSTED ON THE INSIDE. SO THE MORE WATER YOU PUSH, THE MORE WATER YOU PULL, THE WORSE OUR LINES GET.

AND THOSE SEWER LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED. OUR FRESH WATER LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THE DRAINAGE NEEDS TO BE DONE. AND SO WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT REZONING AND REPLATTING, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CITY TAKE SOME INTEREST IN MOVING THE INFRASTRUCTURE. RE GET IT REDONE.

WE DON'T SEE THOSE. WE DON'T SEE IT IN RIVER ROAD.

YOU ONLY SEE WHEN THEY WANT TO REPAIR IT. THEY REPAIR IT.

THEY MOVE ON. THEY REPAIR IT. THEY MOVE ON. WE REALLY NEED THE SEWER MAINS REDONE LIKE FLOYD HARTMAN TOLD US THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO.

AND SO UNTIL THAT IS DONE, WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. AND THE MORE HOUSES YOU PUT ON US, THE MORE PROBLEMS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE.

AND IT ALL RUNS DOWNHILL. IT ALL RUNS PAST US.

SO I'M STILL GOING TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE THE ZONING THE WAY IT IS.

LET HIM WORK WITH THE LAND HE'S BOUGHT. LET HIM BUILD THE HOUSES TO THOSE SPECS.

DON'T GIVE HIM 16 MORE HOUSES. THAT'S 16 MORE HOUSES OF THE LAND THAT HE'S GOING TO PUT CONCRETE ON.

THAT'S GOING TO TAKE AWAY THE ABSORPTION, THE ABSORPTION OF THE WATER.

SO LET HIM BUILD. HE BOUGHT THE LAND. LET HIM BUILD THE WAY IT IS.

LEAVE OUR COMMUNITY ALONE. LET HIM PUT THE HOUSES THAT IT DESERVES TO HAVE.

THANK YOU. SORRY, I'LL MAKE THIS QUICK.

JUST 1 MORE COMMENT. GAY RITCHIE 716. WHITMAN.

LIKE I SAID, WE'RE A VERY ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD, ESTABLISHED HOUSES, LONG TIME HOUSES, LONG TIME NEIGHBORS, LONGTIME NEIGHBORHOOD. AND JUST A REMINDER, A LOT OF TIMES THINGS ON PAPER CAN LOOK VERY GOOD OR VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THE OUTCOME ENDS UP BEING.

BUT GUESS WHO GETS THE RAW END OF THE DEAL? GUESS WHO'S THERE TO PICK UP THE PIECES OR GO THROUGH WHAT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT, OR WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE ONE WAY AND SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WAY TO PUT IT.

SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND. IT'S NOT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE OR SHOWS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE.

IT ENDS UP BEING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES TO, TO, TO DEAL WITH THAT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

HI, THIS IS SARAH O'NEIL 313. HUDSON I DO HAVE A QUESTION I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PUTTING MORE HOUSES IN THE LAND CAN IMPROVE DRAINAGE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'M NOT AN ENGINEER, BUT I DON'T.

I WOULD THINK LESS HOUSES WOULD BE WOULD, YOU KNOW, HAVE MORE LAND THAT WOULD ABSORB WATER IN THE MORE HOUSING YOU HAVE, THE YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE MORE RUNOFF.

SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DRAINAGE COMMENT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. OKAY, JASON, BEFORE WE MOVE ON, ONE THING I WANTED TO ADD FOR THAT R-1.

DESIGNATION, IN ADDITION TO THOSE MINIMUM LOT SIZES, A RESIDENTIAL WISE, IT'S SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AND THEORETICALLY A MANUFACTURED HOMES VIA SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. BUT THAT'S COMMON WITH ALL OF OUR RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.

SO BUT I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THE R-1, IN ADDITION TO THOSE MINIMUM LOT SIZES THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER, IT'S JUST SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED AS THE PRIMARY PRODUCT.

[01:40:03]

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THIS? I HAVE SOME.

SURE. BRADY THIS IS FOR CITY STAFF. THE EAST OAK CREEK DRAINS TOWARDS BALLARD AND WILLOW CREEK. HAS THAT BEEN DREDGED OR ANY REPAIRS MADE FOR THE ADDED VOLUME? JOSH, CAN YOU SPEAK INTO YOUR MIC A LITTLE MORE DIRECTLY? I'M JUST HAVING A HARD TIME HEARING YOU. SORRY. OKAY, SO EAST AMARILLO CREEK RUNS IN TOWARDS WILLOW CREEK, RIGHT? AND THEN GOES OVER TOWARDS PAVILLARD. IN THE PAST THIS HAS BEEN A HIGH DRAINAGE AREA.

HAS THERE BEEN ANY IMPROVEMENTS? IS THAT A PLAYA OR IS THAT A RETENTION OR HAS IT BEEN DREDGED TO TO ATTAIN OR HOLD EXTRA VOLUME? I'D HAVE TO GET WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON THAT. THAT GOES BEYOND THE SCOPE OF A ZONING CASE.

SO IN MY DEPARTMENT. SO I GOT TO GET WITH SOMEONE WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON THAT QUESTION.

WELL, I ONLY ASK BECAUSE THE ADDED DRAINAGE AND THEY CAN HAVE THAT TODAY WITH SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AS ZONED.

BUT IT'S DEFINITELY A PROBLEM. OKAY. I HAVE A COMMENT.

I'M BASICALLY GOING TO VOTE AGAINST THIS. I THINK THAT THE DENSITY OF THE PROPOSAL ON THIS PROPERTY IS TOTALLY INCONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD PROPERTY.

AND SO THAT'S MY OPINION AND I WELCOME ANYBODY ELSE'S OPINION THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SAY THAT AS A VOLUNTEER WHO HAS.

I'VE BEEN VOLUNTEERING WITH THE CITY FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND I DID NOT, WHEN I CAME HERE.

UNDERSTAND AT ALL HOW THE CITY GOVERNMENT WORKS AND HOW THE AUTHORITIES ARE DISPERSED.

AND I, I HEARD I LISTENED TO AND I MADE NOTES ABOUT EVERY ONE OF YOU.

I WROTE YOUR NAMES DOWN AND I WROTE WHAT YOU SAID BECAUSE IT MATTERS TO ME.

I'M A FELLOW CITIZEN, JUST LIKE THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS COMMISSION ARE.

IT MATTERS TO ME VERY MUCH. AND SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU HAD, IF YOU LIKE, I'LL COME AND STAND WITH YOU BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH OUR CITY. I DON'T LIVE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I SHARE YOUR PROBLEMS BECAUSE WE'RE ALL CITIZENS OF AMARILLO, TEXAS, AND WE ALL PAY TAXES. AND SOME OF THE THINGS I HEARD TODAY, YOU SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TO DEAL WITH.

THAT SAID, IT'S MY FEELING THAT THE LIMITED SCOPE OF WHAT I, AS 1 OF 7 COMMISSIONERS CAN DO TODAY, IS BALANCE THE RIGHTS OF THE PROPERTY OWNER. YOU, OR IN THIS CASE, THE PERSON WHO HAS APPLIED FOR THIS ZONING REZONING AGAINST. HOW THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT ALL OF THE REST OF YOU ABSENT.

AND THIS IS AN IMPORTANT COMMENT. WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT DRAINAGE TODAY, ALTHOUGH, BY GOLLY, I'LL BE STANDING WITH YOU IF THEY LET THIS GET THROUGH WITH THE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS THAT CLEARLY HAPPEN.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT TRAFFIC TODAY, ALTHOUGH IF TRAFFIC IS A PROBLEM, I'LL STAND WITH YOU AND OBJECT TO THE TRAFFIC APPROVAL.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TODAY IS IF THIS MAN DOES WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH HIS OWN PERSONAL PRIVATE PROPERTY, IS IT REASONABLE? WILL IT NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOU? ABSENT ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS EXCEPT CHARACTERIZATION, THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND ANYTHING THAT WOULD APPLY TO ZONING.

AND I AM NOT THERE ON APPROVAL SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS.

THE ENGINEER MADE THE COMMENT, AND I BELIEVE HIM.

HE'S BEEN BEFORE THIS COMMISSION MANY TIMES, AND I TRUST WHAT HE'S SAYING THAT EVEN THOUGH THOSE OTHER OPTIONS THE DUPLEX, THE ATTACHED TOWNHOMES COULD BE BUILT WITH THIS NEW ZONING, THEY WOULD NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED BY THAT NEW ZONING, AND THEREFORE THEY'D HAVE TO COME BACK AND GET A VARIANCE IF THEY TRIED TO DO IT.

IN MY CASE, THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR ME, BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, IF IT HAD COME THROUGH HERE AS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OR SOME OTHER, IF THEY HAD BEEN ABLE TO GET THE R-3 WITH THE VARIANCES THAT THEY WOULD NEED FOR THE LOT DEPTH TO MAKE THEIR ZONING WORK. I'M SORRY TO MAKE THEIR DRAINAGE WORK AS IT APPLIES TO JUST THEIR AREA.

[01:45:05]

AND IF IT COMES BACK THIS COMMISSIONER WILL. I BELIEVE THAT IT'S A PLUS TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO HAVE NEW HOMES, ESPECIALLY AT THAT PRICE RANGE. I BELIEVE IT'S A PLUS TO YOUR SCHOOL TO HAVE TO ELIMINATE THE DECLINING ENROLLMENT AND TO ADD VALUABLE NEW CONSTRUCTION TO YOUR AREA. I ALSO THINK THAT WILL BRING BADLY NEEDED COMMERCIAL TO YOUR AREA. SO IN SHORT, AS IT'S PRESENTED TODAY, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

BUT I WANT YOU TO BE OPEN TO THINKING ABOUT DEVELOPMENT IN YOUR AREA COULD POTENTIALLY BE VERY, VERY HELPFUL. VERY HELPFUL. I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CONSIDER IN MY VOTE.

I DO APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS TODAY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I'M GRATEFUL AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS STICKING TOGETHER SO WELL.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR BRADY.

I TRIED TO PULL UP THE FEMA FLOOD MAP ON MY PHONE, BUT I CAN'T GET IT TO WORK CORRECTLY.

AND THIS MAY BE ANSWERED AT A LATER PORTION OF THIS.

SO BUT WITH THE ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE, COULD THAT ADVERSELY CAUSE THAT FEMA FLOOD MAP TO EXTEND FURTHER OUT? BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS SOME OF THOSE PROPERTIES RIGHT ALONG THAT CREEK ARE CONSIDERED IN A FLOOD ZONE.

SO. WHEN IT COMES TO THE FLOODPLAIN ISSUES, THOSE WOULD BE ANALYZED BY THE CITY ENGINEER'S OFFICE.

IF A DRAINAGE REPORT WERE SUBMITTED TO THE PROPERTY, AS I CAN SPEAK PERSONALLY, I'M NOT AN ENGINEER, SO I REALLY CAN'T SPEAK TO IF IT WOULD OR WOULD NOT CHANGE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THAT FLOOD HAZARD AREA.

THAT'S SOMETHING, THOUGH, THAT A DRAIN. IF THIS PROPERTY WERE DEVELOPED IN THE FUTURE, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED BY A LICENSED ENGINEER.

DRAINAGE REPORT TO OUR ENGINEERS TO REVIEW AND MITIGATE ANY IMPACTS IDENTIFIED BY THE CITY PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT BEING ALLOWED TO OCCUR.

SO I HOPE THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION. SO WHEN EXACTLY WOULD THE DRAINAGE REPORT.

THAT'S REQUIRED IN THE PROCESS. SURE. THAT'S REQUIRED PRIOR TO THE PROPERTY BEING ABLE TO BE PLOTTED ULTIMATELY IN THE PROCESS.

SO TYPICALLY THE WAY THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WORKS IS GENERALLY ZONING IS CONSIDERED UPFRONT.

AND THEN YOU MOVE INTO THAT PRELIMINARY PLAN, WHICH BASICALLY WAS WHAT WE HAD ON THE SCREEN EARLIER, A LITTLE MORE DETAILED THAN THIS. BUT ONCE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN GETS APPROVAL, THAT AUTHORIZES THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEER TO SUBMIT INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS AND DRAINAGE REPORTS TO THE CITY FOR REVIEW. SO THAT'S TYPICALLY WHERE THAT WOULD FALL IN THE THE REVIEW PROCESS, IF YOU WILL. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? IF NOT, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE DECLINE THE REZONING REQUEST AS SUBMITTED AT THIS TIME.

OKAY. WE HAVE WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF DECLINING THIS REQUEST, RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY AYE. AYE. AYE. MOTION UNANIMOUSLY.

THAT? MOVING ON OUR AGENDA. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE BRADY LEFT FOR? NO. ONE THING I WANTED TO NOTE FOR THE AUDIENCE THAT'S HERE TODAY.

SO THE WAY IT WORKS FROM HERE THE APPLICANT DOES GET A PERIOD OF TIME TO APPEAL.

SO JUST WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT IF THAT HAPPENS BEFORE NOON TOMORROW, IT WILL BE ON THAT OCTOBER 27TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

IF THERE'S AN APPEAL AFTER NOON TOMORROW, BUT WITHIN 10 DAYS, THE CITY WILL SEND OUT A NEW BATCH OF NOTICES TO THE PEOPLE THAT GOT THEM IN THE MAIL, AND IT'LL BE POSTED IN THE PAPER. SO FEEL FREE TO CALL OUR OFFICE FOR UPDATES, SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO.

BUT THERE IS AN APPEAL PERIOD, THOUGH, THAT IS ALLOWED PER THE CITY'S ORDINANCE.

SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL WERE AWARE OF THAT. OKAY.

THANK YOU. UNLESS THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE, WE ARE ADJOURNED.

IT'S 4:49.
