Oct 07, 2021 Planning & Zoning Commission

CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER.

[00:00:04]

[1. Conduct a public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a request for approval of an ordinance rezoning approximately 0.1928 acres from the Commercial-Office/Retail (C-OR) zoning district to the Single Family 7.2 (SF-7.2) zoning district. The subject property is located on the north of E. Cedar Street and is nearest the intersection of Danbury Street and E. Cedar Street, approximately six hundred linear feet to west of E. Mulberry (State Highway 35).]

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH OF E.

CEDAR STREET AND IS NEAREST THE INTERSECTION OF DANBURY STREET AND E, CEDAR STREET AND APPROXIMATELY SIX HUNDRED LINEAR FEET TO THE WEST OF EAST MULBERRY, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS STATE HIGHWAY 35.

WALT, WOULD YOU GIVE US AN OVERVIEW, PLEASE? THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS ON, IS THE POWER ON BACK THERE? YEAH, I CAN HEAR THAT.

I CAN HEAR THAT. THAT'S OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE A LOT ON THE CORNER OF DANBURY AND CEDAR STREET.

THERE'S AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ON THE HOUSE.

THE PROPOSED REZONING IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, BUT WOULD BE SUPPORTED BY A COUPLE OF OTHER POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

REZONING IT WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, AND IT, THE PROPOSED SEVEN POINT TWO ZONING WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF THE AREA SURROUNDING IT.

THIS LOT IS PART OF AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.

THE ONLY THING I CAN REALLY OFFER HERE IS THAT SOMETIME BETWEEN 2008 AND 2013, I BELIEVE THE ZONING MAP ALONG CEDAR STREET IN THIS AREA WAS CHANGED FROM RESIDENTIAL ZONING TO ALL COMMERCIAL ZONING. I WOULD SUSPECT THAT WAS DONE BECAUSE SOMEBODY HOPED THAT THE PROPERTIES WOULD ALL DEVELOP ALONG THE STREET AS COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, BUT IT DIDN'T REALLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT THERE WERE EXISTING RESIDENCES THAT WERE BEING REZONE TO COMMERCIAL ZONING, AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS AN AMENDMENT DONE TO THE USE TABLE THAT INVOLVED EXISTING RESIDENCES.

OBVIOUSLY, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY FEELS THAT THEIR INTERESTS ARE GOING TO BE BETTER SERVED IF THE PROPERTY IS REZONED TO A RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT.

AND THE STAFF BELIEVES THAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT CONSISTENT ENTIRELY WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, IT'S SUPPORTED BY OTHER POLICIES OF THE PLAN AND WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO CHANGE THE ZONING TO SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN POINT TWO.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

THANK YOU ALL. AT THIS TIME, WE WILL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING TO ASK ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ISSUE, TO COME TO THE PODIUM AND TELL US YOUR POSITION AND WHY WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE TURNING ANY CARDS IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING REQUESTING TO SPEAK.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE.

OK, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONDUCT DISCUSSION.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN AREA OF TOWN THAT'S BEEN IN TRANSITION FOR MANY YEARS, IT'S IN MY MIND IT'S IT'S KIND OF A MIXED USE AREA.

I SEE NO PROBLEM WITH THE REQUEST.

I MOVE WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST TO REZONE 1101 E.

CEDAR FROM A COMMERCIAL OFFICE RETAIL ZONING DISTRICT TO SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN POINT TWO

[00:05:05]

ALL RIGHT, I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. MUNSON AND THE SECOND BY MS. BIERI. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE SO BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

OPPOSED SAME SIGN MOTION CARRIES.

AND WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA SECTION OF OF OUR AGENDA ITEM TWO DISCUSS AND

[2. Discuss and consider possible action on a request to approve the Final Replat of the Riverwood Ranch Section Two subdivision. The subject property consists of a 19.793-acre tract of land located at the northeast corner of the Downing Road and Hospital Drive within the City of Angleton.]

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CONSISTS OF A NINETEEN POINT SEVEN NINE THREE ACRE TRACT OF LAND LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF DOWNING ROAD AND HOSPITAL DRIVE WITHIN THE CITY OF ANGLETON, WALT.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF THE RIVERWOOD RANCH SECTION TWO FINAL PLAT.

NOT REALLY VERY MUCH TO SAY HERE WE SAW THE PRELIMINARY PLAT A FEW MONTHS AGO.

THE PROPOSED PLAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PRELIMINARY PLAT THE LOT SIZES.

WHILE SOME NONE, ALL OF YOU MAY NOT EXACTLY CARE FOR THE LOT MIX.

THAT ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED AND DECIDED BY THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING ON THE PROPERTY, SO THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT TO DISCUSS WITH THAT.

THAT BEING SAID, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED FINAL REPLAT OF RIVERWOOD RANCH SECTION TWO.

THANK YOU WALT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR WALT? MR. CHAIR, I MOVE THAT WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED FINAL REPLAT OF RIVERWOOD RANCH SECTION TWO.

I HAVE A MOTION BY MS. MCDANIEL IS THERE A SECOND? OK, I WILL MAKE THE SECOND AS CHAIRMAN, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I'LL JUST SAY THAT.

I'M JUST OPPOSED TO THOSE FORTY FIVE FOOT LOTS.

THAT'S A REAL NICE PART OF TOWN.

[INAUDIBLE] WANT TO STICK ALL THOSE HOUSES OVER THERE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND.

WE'VE GOT 10 YEARS FROM NOW, IM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH WHERE WE ARE.

I AGREE.

I THINK WE ALL AGREE AND UNDERSTAND.

BUT AT THIS POINT THE THE COUNCIL HAS HAS GIVEN THIS ITS BLESSING AND AND THERE'S NOTHING STANDING IN THE WAY OF THE REPLAT I KNOW.

THIS GROUP, I BELIEVE, EXPRESSED ITS IT'S REGRET ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE LOSS IN THE PRELIMINARY PLAT STAGE OF THE PROCESS, SO AT THIS TIME, I'LL CALL FOR THE QUESTION WE'LL ANSWER WITH SHOW OF HANDS.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE FINAL REPLAT INDICATE SO BY RAISING YOUR RIGHT HAND.

TWO ALL THOSE OPPOSED TO THE FINAL REPLAT INDICATE SO BY RAISING YOUR RIGHT HAND.

AND THAT IS FIVE.

OK, SO. IT'S A PROTEST VOTE.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

[3. Discussion and possible action on the preliminary plat of Live Oak Ranch]

WELL, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. THIS IS A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE TWENTY ACRES OF LIVE OAK RANCH PROJECT, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF ANGLETON DRIVE NORTH OF BASTROP STREET.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SIX POINT THREE ZONING DISTRICT, AND THE PROPOSED LOTS MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THAT ZONING DISTRICT IN YOUR BACKUP.

YOU HAVE THE CITY ENGINEERS COMMON LETTER.

THE DEVELOPER HAS RESPONDED TO THOSE COMMENTS AND I SPOKE WITH THE CITY ENGINEER THIS MORNING, AND THERE'S JUST ONE MINOR COMMENT THAT'S LEFT OUTSTANDING THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEARED. THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT'S NOTED IN THE STAFF REPORT IS THAT THE CITY DOES REQUIRE PARKLAND DEDICATION AS PART OF THE PLATING PROCESS.

BUT YOU CAN PAY A FEE IN LIEU OF AND THE DEVELOPER HAS INDICATED THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PAY THE FEE IN LIEU RATHER THAN DEDICATE PARKLAND WITH THIS PROJECT.

SO HAVING SAID ALL THAT, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT OF LIVE OAK RANCH, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT ALL COMMENTS ARE CLEARED PRIOR TO THE OCTOBER 26, 2021 CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

THANK YOU ALL.

ANY QUESTIONS? IS THAT THE SHERBROOKE PROPERTY I GUESS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BEHIND THE HOSPITAL WHERE THE DOCTOR LIVED IN THE BACK PART OF BASTROP AND HOUSTON AS THE DEAD ROAD

[00:10:01]

SO I KNOW YOU CAN GET TO THE PROPERTY THROUGH THE HOSPITAL.

RIGHT OR YOU'RE GOING TO COME OFF THE AUSTIN STREET OR BASTROP STREET? YES. I'M ANDREW ELMONT WITH BEACON LIGHT SERVICES.

EXACTLY. IT'S THE SHERBROOKE PROPERTY WE'RE GOING TO BE ENTERING FROM THE SOUTH.

AND SO THE ROAD WILL COME UP AND THEN WE'LL EXTEND HOUSTON AND DALLAS AND THEN BUILD A NEW NORTH SOUTH STREET ON THE EAST SIDE BECAUSE I KNOW THOSE ARE HEAVILY TRAVELED THERE.

THOSE STREETS IN PARTICULAR, SINCE THEY ADDED AUSTIN ON, SO THEY'LL TO ENTER.

YOU'LL COME OFF OF ANY ONE OF THOSE STREETS BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY IT IS NOW.

IT'S A DEAD END. AND I JUST REMEMBER BEING A KID, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN STILL HAVE THE DIRT ROAD TO ACCESS IT FROM FROM EITHER ONE OF THOSE STREETS SO THAT WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE TAKEN OVER GOING THROUGH TO GET TO THERE ESSENTIALLY, THE ACCESS IS GOING TO BE FROM THE SOUTH, FROM BASTROP AND THEN THE STREETS WILL BE EXTENDED AND THEN BASTROP. THEY ADDED ALL THOSE HOUSES YEARS AGO, AND THEN THEY HAVE AUSTIN, WHICH THEY'VE EXTENDED, RIGHT.

AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE NORTH.

I KNOW ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT HAS A LOT OF THAT LAND UP THERE, SO THE PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY IS OCCUPIED BY THEIR FACILITIES.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE ROAD WILL EVER BE EXTENDED TO THE NORTH, BUT IF IT DOES, THEY'LL JUST PUT LIKE CONDUITS IN AND CROSS IT.

IT CONCERNS ME FOR THE ENTRANCE OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD BEING ALREADY IN A OVERCROWDED NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THEY EXTENDED THOSE TWO STREETS, ESPECIALLY FOR BASTROP.

SURE. AND THE DENSITY IS A LITTLE BIT LOWER.

I KNOW WHEN WE FIRST CAME IN, WE WERE ASKING FOR FIFTY FOOT WIDE LOTS.

WE CHANGED THAT, OF COURSE, WITH THE ZONING.

WE DON'T REALLY THINK TRAFFIC'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE.

I MEAN, THE LOT DENSITY THAT'S PLANNED FOR IT RIGHT NOW, IT'S ALREADY SUBDIVIDED LIKE THE LOTS ARE SUBDIVIDED FROM WEST TO EAST, ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST PROPERTY LINE.

WE'RE ACTUALLY RE SUBDIVIDING TO GET RID OF A BUNCH OF THOSE PLATED LOTS AND PUT IN THE DETENTION THAT'S NECESSARY, WHICH IS KIND OF THE BASIS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK OUR HOUSE WAS THE FOURTH HOUSE ON BASTROP.

WE'RE THE FIRST PEOPLE, PROBABLY OUR PARENTS, TO MOVE IN THERE.

AND I KNOW THAT THEY'VE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE.

I THINK IF PEOPLE KNEW ON BASTROP STREET THAT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WAS GOING TO BE THE ENTRANCE TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE HAD SOME PEOPLE UP HERE TODAY.

I MEAN, I THINK THEY KNEW ABOUT IT FOR THE ZONING, BUT YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, I MEAN, YEAH.

WELL, NOW REGINA ACCESS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE NOT ONLY FROM BASTROP, BUT ALSO FROM HOUSTON AND DALLAS.

IS THAT NOT CORRECT? YEAH, IT'S ACTUALLY ANGLETON.

ANGLETON GETS EXTENDED TO THE NORTH AND THEN OUR TWO STREETS WILL BE STUBBED OFF OF THAT . [INAUDIBLE] PROPERTY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF AUSTIN, WHERE THEY BOUGHT FROM MR. ROGERS, THAT TEN ACRE TRACK.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW [INAUDIBLE].

BUT WHEN YOU ADDED AUSTIN ST.

OR THE FRONT PART, THE NEW SECTION, WE JUST DID.

I MEAN, IT'S IT'S A REAL EXTENDED STREET.

THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

IF YOU GO STAND IN ONE OF THOSE YARDS, SO I CAN JUST ONLY IMAGINE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU COULD GO OFF HOUSTON OR DALLAS OR BASTROP LIKE YOU SAID, BASTROP WOULD BE THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE, I GUESS TO THE LEFT YOU GO ALL THE WAY DOWN.

YEAH, IT'S GOT FEEDER CAPACITY.

YOU CAN GO TO THE WEST OFF OF HOUSTON AND DALLAS.

WE'RE EXTENDING THOSE TWO STREETS, SO THERE'LL BE SOME TRAFFIC FLOW.

THAT WAY, THERE'LL BE SOME TO THE SOUTH AND THE THE INTERSECTION THERE.

EVEN THOUGH IT IS BUSY, IT IS BUILT OUT.

I MEAN, IT CAN CARRY THAT EXTRA TRAFFIC.

AND LIKE I SAID, WE'RE CUTTING THE LOTS IN ALMOST HALF.

[INAUDIBLE] YOU CAN'T I MEAN, THERE'S PEOPLE PARK ON THE STREETS ALL THE TIME AND YOU'RE HAVING TO WAIT. I GUESS GROWING UP THERE, I JUST KNOW THE AREA BETTER.

BUT YOU, YOU DO.

IT'S IT'S CONGESTED AS IT IS.

WELL, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH ANGLETON ANGLETON BOULEVARD.

WHERE DOES THAT GO? IT RUNS PERPENDICULAR TO THOSE STREETS.

BASTROP OR HOUSTON AND DALLAS, WHERE THEY STOP AT THE DEAD END.

DEAD ENDS, I SAID INTO THE DITCH.

THERE'S A DIRT ROAD THAT YOU CAN ACCESS.

SO, SO LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION DO WE HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH THE PRELIMINARY PLAT? WHY DO THE ENTRANCE? I MEAN, OK, WHERE IT COMES IN? THAT'S MY CONCERN.

OK. I APPRECIATE THE SIXTY FOOT LOTS.

[00:15:01]

YES, MY NAME'S CLINT [INAUDIBLE].

I'M THE DEVELOPER. I ACTUALLY DEVELOPED GREEN TRAILS AND I EXTENDED AUSTIN STREET.

YEAH, THERE IS MORE PEOPLE NOW OR THERE WILL BE.

BUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN THE BACK PART OF AUSTIN USED TO HAVE TO GO DOWN BASTROP.

SO BY ME, EXTENDING AUSTIN, IT'S REALLY HELPED BASTROP THEY WERE TOLD THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE AN ACCESS OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS, SO THAT WOULDN'T BURDEN THAT SUBDIVISION.

SO THAT DID NOT COME ABOUT BECAUSE THE RAILROAD SAID, NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU ACCESS. SO THAT THAT WAS TOLD TO THAT SUBDIVISION BACK THEN.

OK, YEAH, I'M NOT AWARE OF THAT, BUT I AM JUST, YEAH, SINCE I GREW UP THERE, RIGHT? ALSO, THIS WILL BE, YOU KNOW, MORE DETAILS WILL COME ON THIS.

BUT WE DO CONTEMPLATE ON IMPROVING ANGLETON BOULEVARD.

IF YOU'VE BEEN I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN BACK THERE.

IT'S A HALF OF A STREET CURRENTLY.

SOMEHOW, YOU KNOW, IT WAS NEVER FINISHED OUT.

CORRECT. AND SO THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AS WELL, WHICH SHOULD IMPROVE.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DEAD END. I'M TALKING TO GET TO ANGLETON BOULEVARD.

YEAH, YOU GO DOWN BASTROP STREET TO GET THERE.

YOU CAN EITHER GO DALLAS, HOUSTON, BASTROP OR AUSTIN IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO, BUT WE'RE THIS ONE WOULD BE EXTENDING DALLAS AND HOUSTON.

SO I WOULD EXPECT MOST PEOPLE TO TO, YOU KNOW, ACCESS THAT PROPERTY THROUGH DALLAS OR HOUSTON. YEAH, THEY'RE JUST AS CROWDED, YOU GOT CARS PARKED ON THE STREET.

THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN.

OK. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I HAVE A QUESTION LOOKING AT THE PLAT.

IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY GETS HUNG UP ON THE FRONTAGE SIZES OF THE LOTS, BUT THE PLANT LOOKS LIKE THE AVERAGE DEPTH IS AROUND ONE THIRTY FIVE.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT, WHICH IS AN OVERSIZE LOT FOR THE AVERAGE LOT IN ANGLETON JUST FYI.

AND THE REASON THE REASON IT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS BECAUSE I THINK THERE WAS A DIAGRAM LOWER THAT SHOWED IT WAS A SIXTY BY ONE TEN.

SO THAT WAS THE REASON I ASKED WHICH ONE IS THE CONTROLLING? RIGHT. SO THE YEAH, THE THE STREET INTERSECTIONS OVER THERE WERE HOUSTON AND DALLAS COME IN KIND OF CONTROL THE BLOCK DIMENSIONS.

I FIGURE THAT'S WHAT WAS.

SO THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING.

ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I MOVE WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT OF LIVE OAK RANCH SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT ALL COMMENTS ARE CLEAR PRIOR TO THE OCTOBER 26, 2021 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. MUNSON AND A SECOND BY MS. SCHAEFER. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OTHER THAN I'M GOING TO OPPOSE IT JUST FOR THE ENTRANCE PART OF IT, I DO APPRECIATE YOUR LOTS, BUT I FEEL THAT THE PEOPLE OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS NEED TO BE INFORMED BEFORE IT GOES ANY FARTHER.

SO WE'LL DO THIS ONE BY SHOW OF HANDS.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION TO APPROVE SUBJECT TO THE COMMENTS BEING ADDRESSED INDICATE SO BY RAISING YOUR RIGHT HAND.

SO THAT IS SIX AND OPPOSED SAME SIGN.

SO SIX TO ONE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ITEM FOUR PRESENTATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE COMMENT ON PROPOSED

[4. Presentation, discussion and possible comment on a proposed development consisting of approximately 900 acres north of the City between SH 288 and FM 521 that is partially within the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.]

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

YOU MAY RECALL A FEW MONTHS AGO WE HAD ANOTHER DEVELOPER MAKE A PRESENTATION ON THIS VERY SAME PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT DEVELOPER DECIDED TO NOT PROCEED WITH THEIR PROJECT.

NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER DEVELOPER COMING FORWARD WITH A PROJECT FOR THIS PROPERTY.

THIS PROCESS IS AVAILABLE TO THEM SO THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE COMMENT AND FEEDBACK ON ON THEIR PROJECT. AND WITH THAT, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO DO SO.

SO IS THERE IS THERE ANY KIND OF A PRESENTATION TO THE COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS MARK JANICK, I'M VICE PRESIDENT LAND FOR ASHTON GRAY.

WE WE HAVE ABOUT NINE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN ACRES HERE UNDER CONTRACT.

WE HAVE TWO THOUSAND LOTS APPROXIMATELY.

WE HEAVY. WE WAITED OVER FIFTY PERCENT TO SIXTY FOOT LOTS.

FORTY NINE PERCENT, FIFTY FOOT LOTS.

WE HAVE POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL AND MULTI-USE.

WE HAVE SPECIALTY PODS FOR ACTIVE ADULT, PERHAPS HIGH DENSITY AFTER TALKING TO INITIALLY TALKING TO THE TO THE CITY STAFF.

WE THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD HAVE PUT SOME FLEXIBILITY IN HERE TO MAYBE DO SOME ACTIVE ADULT, MAYBE DO SOME TOWNHOMES.

IT WOULD BE MORE AFFORDABLE.

WE WE ARE GETTING AVERAGE BEGINNING PRICE RANGES ARE IN THE LOW THREE HUNDREDS AND

[00:20:02]

SO FOR A FAMILY TO QUALIFY FOR A HOME IN HERE, THEY'LL HAVE TO HAVE A COMBINED INCOME OF ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE THOUSAND INITIALLY TO QUALIFY FOR THE SMALLER HOMES ON THE FIFTIES. WE WE DO SHOW IT CONNECTING TO 288.

THERE IS NO FEEDER THERE.

THAT'S AN $11 MILLION COMMENT.

WE CAN ACCESS THE ENTIRE PROJECT FROM THE 521 ENTRANCE THERE.

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT, WE DO HAVE AN E T.J.

MUDD APPROVED IN PLACE.

WHEN YOU'RE COMING IN, THIS IS BASICALLY THE FIRST EXIT YOU SEE THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF ANGLETON. YOU WOULD TAKE ANCHOR ROAD, YOU WOULD COME AROUND TO OUR 521 ENTRANCES UP TO THE NORTH. THERE'S A HIGHWAY 45 EXIT OFF OF 288, SO YOU COULD ACCESS THE TRACT OFF THE 521 COMING IN FROM THERE.

521 IS A PRETTY OPEN HIGHWAY.

WE THINK WE THINK WE CAN MARKET THE PROJECT FROM THAT POINT, IT'S BIG ENOUGH FOR A POTENTIAL SCHOOL SITE.

I'VE GOT MESSAGES INTO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF ANGLETON SCHOOL DISTRICT.

GO TO THE NEXT ONE. WE DID DISCOVER THAT THERE'S MORE TRAFFIC GOING NORTH ON 288 THAN GOING SOUTH.

THERE'S A LOT OF JOBS SOUTH OF HERE AND WE THINK THIS THIS PROJECT IS PERFECTLY POSITIONED FOR EVEN AN ACCESS TO THE MEDICAL CENTER.

THE BRAZORIA COUNTY TOLL ROAD IS SUPPOSED TO BE EXTENDED PAST HIGHWAY 6 IN THEIR NEXT PHASE. THAT'S STILL WHAT TWENTY FIVE MINUTES FROM THIS EXIT.

BUT WE THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT LOCATION AND A GREAT DEVELOPMENT.

ASHTON GRAY LIKES TO CONCENTRATE ON UPPER END COMMUNITIES.

WE DON'T WANT TO PUT PERIMETER BUILDER FENCE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PERIMETER, SIX FOOT BRICK WALL VERY EXPENSIVE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EXTENSIVE TRAIL SYSTEM IF YOU LOOK AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE TRACK. THERE IS A DARK GREEN AREA.

IT IS A JURISDICTIONAL WETLAND AND WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING.

SO WE BOUGHT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES AND WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

WE'RE GOING TO BE RUNNING A TRAIL THROUGH THERE.

A NATURE TRAIL.

WE'RE GOING TO BE TYING INTO OUR MAIN TRAIL UP AND DOWN THE THE MAIN DETENTION POND THAT YOU SEE GOING ON THE WEST SIDE.

ALSO, THERE'LL BE SIDEWALKS ON THE ALL THE BOULEVARDS AND THE CONNECTOR STREETS, AND WE'RE GOING TO REQUIRE THAT OUR BUILDERS BUILD SIDEWALKS.

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A VERY, VERY EXTENSIVE TRAIL SYSTEM IN HERE, WHICH IS WHAT WE LIKE TO CONCENTRATE ON.

WE LIKE TO CONCENTRATE ON HEAVY TRAIL HEAVY PLANTING WITH TREES AND TRAILS.

NOT EVERYBODY ELSE.

NOT EVERYBODY CAN USE A PLAYGROUND.

WE WILL HAVE A PLAYGROUND.

NOT EVERYBODY CAN USE A SWIMMING POOL.

WE WILL HAVE A SWIMMING POOL.

JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THIS IS A BIG ENOUGH PROJECT WHERE WE WILL.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT, WE'LL HAVE A JUNIOR OLYMPIC POOL, WHICH WILL ALLOW SWIM MEETS AND THAT KIND OF LIKE AN ADULT LANE SWIMMING AND THEN UP TO THE NORTH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LAZY RIVER AND IT'S GOING TO BE A NICE COMPLEX.

THERE'LL BE PARKING, PUBLIC PARKING AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GATE OUR DITCHES.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GATE THE RESERVE.

SO ESSENTIALLY, THE TRAILS WILL BE OPEN TO THE TO THE CITY OF ANGLETON PUBLIC BECAUSE WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO GATE IT.

SO WE THINK WE'VE GOT A GOOD AMENITY.

IF YOU'LL SEE THE RED, THE RED, THAT'S OUR BRICK WALL.

WE'RE GOING TO BRING BRICK WALLS IN ON OUR MAJOR COLLECTORS AND ON THE PERIMETER TO MAKE IT HAVE A REALLY UPSCALE LOOK.

WHEN YOU HAVE NINE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN ACRES, YOU CAN'T DO ALL SIXTIES.

YOU NEED TO HAVE SEVERAL PRODUCTS.

SO THAT'S WHY WE CAME UP WITH WEIGHING THE SIXTIES.

BUT PUTTING THE FIFTIES IN AS A SECOND PRODUCT AND THEN THE SPECIALTY PODS WE PUT IN THERE WOULD GIVE US FLEXIBILITIES FOR LIKE THE ACTIVE ADULT OR INDIVIDUALLY OWNED TOWNHOMES, WHATEVER WOULD GET APPROVED BY P AND Z WHEN WE ACTUALLY DEVELOP THOSE PODS.

DID I FORGET ANYTHING.

DO WHAT? OH, I FAILED TO MENTION THIS, BUT WE'LL DO UTILITIES ON OUR OWN.

THERE ARE NO THE CITY CANNOT, CANNOT SUPPLY US WITH WATER AND SEWER, SO WE WILL BE BUILDING OUR OWN PLANTS, OUR OWN WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT WE'LL BE GOING FOR.

AND WHEN WE GET OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY, THERE'LL BE AN SPA IN PLACE, NANCY, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO, WHICH WOULD GUARANTEE FUTURE ANNEXATION, THAT THAT MAKES YOU CONTROL THE SITUATION TO WHERE YOU CAN ANNEX IT.

BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS MADE IT EXTREMELY HARD FOR ANNEXATION FOR CITIES. BUT THIS WOULD BE A NINE HUNDRED ELEVEN ACRES THAT COULD BE ANNEXED IN THE FUTURE. RIGHT NOW, IT'S AN ETJ MUD BECAUSE WE'RE THE MAJORITY OF IT IS IN THE STJ.

[00:25:03]

WE'RE SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE COMMISSIONER.

I'M SO WE MET WITH THE COUNTY JUDGE.

HE TOLD US TO MEET WITH THE COMMISSIONER, SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO WORK THIS WITH THE COUNTY ALSO.

WELL, THANK YOU, MR. JANICK.

I THINK WE ALL AGREE, BUT THE CONCEPT IS VERY NICE.

I THINK YOU'VE ALREADY PICKED UP, AT LEAST.

I HOPE YOU'VE PICKED UP ON THE FACT THAT THAT WE DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE SMALLER LOT SIZES. AND DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS BEYOND THAT? OTHER THAN YOU SAYING YOU WANTED MORE PRODUCTS IN THIS SIXTY FOOT LOT? AND OF COURSE, I KNOW THE COUNTY IS SET AT EIGHTY.

SO WHY COULDN'T YOU DO SOME SEVENTIES, MAYBE IN A REALTOR IN THE AREA I DO KNOW I'M HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME WITH JUST TRYING TO FIND LARGER LOTS.

OTHER THAN CHRIS PELTIER OR AND CLINT'S NOT BUILDING ANYMORE, EVEN THOUGH HE DID PURCHASE A LOT HERE RECENTLY, AND WE HAVE REG APLIN DOING A FEW.

SO THAT'S IT. I MEAN, SO THERE'S NEED, REMEMBER ON THE FIFTY FOOT LOTS, WE'RE PUTTING A, YOU KNOW, A MINIMUM THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND HOME.

AND BY THE TIME THE SMOKE CLEARS, YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN THE MID THREES.

SO IT'S REALLY AN AFFORDABILITY ISSUE.

I MEAN, WE COULD WE HAVE THREE SWING PODS, WE COULD PUT BIGGER LOTS IN THERE, IF YOU LIKE. WELL, HE JUST TOLD ME I TALKED TO ONE OF THE THE LOCAL BUILDERS TODAY, AND HE SAID IT COSTS FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND FOR A SEVENTY FOOT LOT AND A TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT HOME. AND I THINK THAT'S STILL THERE'S PEOPLE.

THERE'S A NEED FOR THAT AS WELL.

THERE'S A DEMAND. YEAH, AND WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT FINDING THEM.

I'M HAVING TO GO TO [INAUDIBLE] AND OTHER PLACES TO LOOK FOR THOSE HOMES.

WELL, WE WOULD HAVE FLEXIBILITY IN THOSE, THOSE THREE PODS TO DO WHATEVER THE CITY PREFERS US TO DO THE SEVENTY FOOT LOT, YOU KNOW IT JUST THE WE'VE DONE A MARKET STUDY AND WE THINK THAT THESE ARE THE CORRECT LOTS.

NOW, IF YOU SAY THERE'S A DEMAND FOR A BIGGER LOTS, THAT'S FINE.

BUT WE WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIFTIES AND SIXTIES MIX APPROVED, AT LEAST PRELIMINARILY, WHICH THIS MEETING IS ALL ABOUT, AND THEN THINK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THOSE THREE SPECIALTIES.

IF THE DEMAND IS SEVENTIES AND YOU ALL PUSH HARD, WE'LL MAKE THEM SEVENTY FOOT PODS.

DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FOR MR. JANICK AND HIS TEAM? I GUESS QUESTION OR TWO YOU ACTUALLY ANSWERED IT, A COUPLE OF THEM ALONG THE WAY, ONE WITH THE UTILITIES AND ALSO THE AGREEMENT SO THAT FUTURE ANNEXATION COULD HAPPEN IF IT'S DESIRED.

I GUESS THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I WAS CONCERNED WITH LOOKING THROUGH IT, I'VE GOT OH YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT PLACE.

I GO OUT AND DO A LOT OF WALKING AND LOOK WONDERFUL.

BUT THE THING THAT CONCERNS ME, I GUESS, IS WATER, SINCE THAT'S ON THE SIDE OF YOU'RE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE LEVEE AND BRAZOS RIVER TENDS TO OVERFLOW.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT FLOODING DRAINAGE, RIGHT? YEAH. SO I'M ASSUMING Y'ALL HAVE THOUGHT THROUGH THAT.

BUT THAT'S, I GUESS ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO ABSOLUTELY DOUBLE CHECK.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE GREEN AREAS, WE ARE GOING TO BE DIGGING HUGE DETENTION VOLUMES.

WE ALWAYS PUT THAT DIRT ON THE LOTS.

THE LOTS ARE DELIVERED ABOVE THE FIVE HUNDRED YEAR PLAIN FLOOD PLAIN.

AND THEN BY THE TIME THEY BUILD THEIR SLAB, THEY'RE THREE FEET ABOVE THE FIVE HUNDRED YEAR PLAN. HARVEY HAMMERED ALL OF THE OLDER DEVELOPMENTS IF YOU WERE IN A NEWER DEVELOPMENT NEXT TO A BAYOU.

YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN FLOODED.

BUT MOST OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS DID WELL BECAUSE WE'RE DESIGNING MORE WITH MORE STRICT REQUIREMENTS. BUT WE'RE WELL AWARE OF WE DON'T HAVE WE ARE HAVE SOME FIVE HUNDRED YEAR FLOODPLAIN, WHICH WE KIND OF BELIEVE IS THE NEW ONE HUNDRED YEAR IF YOU LOOK AT THE FREQUENCY OF THE STORMS. BUT BUT WE WILL BE WELL ABOVE THE FIVE HUNDRED YEAR AND OUR OUTFALL IS AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER. THERE'S AN EXISTING DITCH THERE, JUST WHERE THAT GREEN AREAS OF THE SOUTHEAST CORNER AND THAT DITCH GOES UNDERNEATH ANCHOR ROAD.

SO WE HAVE ADEQUATE DRAINAGE, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT WE ARE.

TO BE FILLING THE LOTS DRAMATICALLY.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? I'M GLAD IT'S IN MY DISTRICT.

ALL RIGHT. MR. JANICK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND WITH THAT, WE'RE ADJOURNED.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
