[INAUDIBLE] YOU HAVE AN OVERVIEW FOR US.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.

GOOD AFTERNOON. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A REZONING FOR PROPERTY THAT'S CURRENTLY ZONED PD ON YOUR CURRENT ZONING MAP.

YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA.

WE'VE HAD SUCH AN INFLUX OF APPLICATIONS.

LAND HERE WAS DIVIDED BY THE EXTENSION OF SHANKS ROAD FOR PROPERTY THAT WAS UNDER ONE OWNERSHIP AND IT HAS CHANGED HANDS.

SO THIS IS THE REMAINING OF THE PROPERTY THAT YOU SAW LAST MEETING.

BUT THE PROJECT SITE IS NOTATED HERE AT THE CONNECTION OF SHANKS ROAD AND COUNTY ROAD 220.

PROPERTY IS BEING REQUESTED FOR THE COMMERCIAL.

SORRY ABOUT THE NOISE, THE COMMERCIAL GENERAL CATEGORY AND THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR ANYTHING IN THAT CATEGORY TO BE DEVELOPED THAT WOULD MEET THE CODE IN TERMS OF ALL RESTRICTIONS AS WELL AS LANDSCAPING, ACCESS MANAGEMENT AND SITE PLAN AND PLANNING PROCESSES.

SO THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED THIS REQUEST TO US.

WE WEIGHED THE CRITERIA FOR A REZONING AND FELT THAT WITH THIS PROXIMITY TO THE MAJOR ARTERIALS IN THE AREA, THAT IT WOULD BE FITTING FOR THAT TYPE OF SERVICE ORIENTED RETAIL TO SERVE THE AREA IN TERMS OF WHERE IT'S SITUATED.

SO IT MET THE CRITERIA WE FELT IN TERMS OF IMPACT AND NOT CAUSING ANY ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE AREA.

JUST AS LONG AS IT GOES THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, WE WILL ENSURE COMPATIBILITY IS ACHIEVED.

OTHER THAN THAT, WE'VE LISTED THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CG GENERAL STANDARDS THAT WE WILL APPLY TO THIS PROPERTY AND WE'RE REQUESTING AND RECOMMENDING APPROVAL THAT THIS BE SENT TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL.

SO MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE ORDINANCE ADOPTING THIS IS THE FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE REZONING 3.35 ACRES FROM PD DISTRICT TO COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL GENERAL DISTRICT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL.

SECOND, OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION FROM MS. MCDANIEL AND THE SECOND FOR MS. TOWNSEND. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION INDICATE SO BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

Velasco St., Angleton, TX.]

PERMIT PURSUANT TO SECTION 28-63 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO CONSIDER A REQUEST SUBMITTED BY WHY NOT BINGO LLC TO ALLOW FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A BINGO FACILITY AT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1040 SOUTH VELASCO STREET.

ANGLETON. MR. SPRIGGS. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.

THIS A REQUEST OF COURSE FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE ADDRESS NOTED AT 1040 SOUTH VELASCO FOR PROPERTY IN WHICH MOST OF YOU KNOW AS THE PIN TEN BOWLING ALLEY IN WHICH THEY DO HAVE THE BALLROOM AREA IN WHICH WHY NOT BINGO IS HOPING TO LOCATE INTO THIS SPACE.

THIS PROPERTY IS ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND AS PART OF OUR CODE REQUIREMENT, SPECIFIC USES ARE ALLOWED UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AS AN OVERLAY INTO THE DISTRICT IN WHICH IT CURRENTLY WOULD BE HELD.

WE OF COURSE, WEIGH THE CRITERIA FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMITS IN TERMS OF ITS IMPACT ON THE GENERAL VICINITY.

WE FELT THAT WITH THE CURRENT PARKING FACILITIES THAT ARE THERE IN WHICH THEY WOULD DO SOME ENHANCEMENTS IN TERMS OF STRIPING AND ADD A SMALL SIGN TO THE POLE SIGN THAT YOU SEE THERE IN THE PHOTOGRAPH.

WE FELT THAT THERE WERE NO MAJOR IMPACTS ON THIS.

AS PART OF THEIR PROCESSES THEY, OF COURSE, ARE REQUIRED TO SATISFY THE STATE LAW IN TERMS OF GAMING THAT WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE LOCAL COUNTY RESTRICTIONS AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THOSE AS A MATTER OF LAW.

SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL FROM STAFF IN TERMS OF THE PROPOSAL WE'VE GIVEN YOU SURROUNDING PHOTOGRAPHS AND WHAT HAVE YOU ON THE SITE.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THOSE SO IF YOU WOULD POSSIBLY RECOMMEND THIS TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM? GOING ONCE.

GOING TWICE.

SO ACTUALLY, THIS IS.

AND YOU ARE, SIR. THIS IS ADAM WILES.

I'M REPRESENTING WHY NOT BINGO LLC.

SO ACTUALLY, THIS IS A IT'S A BINGO HALL, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A CHARITY BINGO HALL.

SO IT'S FOR CHARITIES AROUND THE COMMUNITY.

SO IT SPONSORS THE MARINE CORPS LEAGUE, THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY OUT OF ANGLETON.

AND THEN FOUR OTHER CHARITIES, THREE OUT OF BAY CITY AND ONE OUT OF CLEARLAKE.

SO IT ACTUALLY BRINGS A.

LET'S SEE. I GOT A FEW NOTES HERE.

SO IT'S AN EASY ACCESS TO LOCATION, WELL ROUNDED, FAMILY FRIENDLY ENTERTAINMENT, WELL-LIT PAVEMENT.

AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY AS FAR AS BRINGING FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO A COMMUNITY THAT, YOU KNOW, IN THE SOUTH WE ACTUALLY WERE IN CLUTE, SO WE MOVED OUR BINGO HALL TO ANGLETON TO MORE CENTRALIZED BECAUSE 80% OF OUR BINGO PLAYERS COME AND PLAY FROM ANGLETON.

SO WE'D RATHER HAVE IT HERE THAT WAY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE, YOU KNOW, AND ACTUALLY IT'S A BETTER LOCATION.

AND UH, AND ALSO THERE'S TIN PAN IS, YOU KNOW, HAS BOWLING THERE TOO.

SO ACTUALLY EVERYBODY CAN, UH, GET IN THERE AND ALSO ACTUALLY BRINGS MONEY TO THE CITY AND TO THE STATE.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT ROUGHLY AROUND $136-137,000 THAT COMES TO THE CITY FROM BINGO PRIZES WINNINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

SO WHAT WE GAVE BACK TO THE CITY OF CLUTE WAS A ROUGH AROUND $250,000 FOR TWO YEARS THAT WE HAD OCCUPIED THAT FACILITY THERE.

SO IT'S GOOD FOR THE CITY AND STATE AND GOOD FOR THE CHARITIES BECAUSE THE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CHARITIES USUALLY GIVE ABOUT IN ROUGHLY IN QUARTERLY EARNINGS, ROUGHLY $1,000 TO 4 OR $5,000.

SO IT'S YOU KNOW, BUT I THINK IT'D BE GOOD FOR THE FOR THE CITY OF ANGLETON.

SO. SO YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY IN SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM? YES, SIR. OKAY.

THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ISSUE? GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ANY DISCUSSION.

WHAT WAS IT MR. WISE? COME BACK TO THE PODIUM, IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE.

SO WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR REVENUES END UP GOING TO THE CHARITIES?

[00:10:01]

SO IT'S A PERCENTAGE.

IT JUST DEPENDS BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE TAKE IN AS FAR AS.

SO IF A BINGO PLAYER COMES IN AND PLAYS 70% GOES BACK TO THE CUSTOMER THAT PLAYS BINGO THAT DAY, THEN WE TAKE 30%.

THAT GOES TO THE CHARITIES.

DID YOU SAY 80% GOES BACK? 70%? 70? YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. SO.

SO EVERYTHING IS FOR A CHARITY.

SO IT'S ACTUALLY EVERYTHING IS REGULATED THROUGH THAT'S HOW IT IS. THAT'S HOW IT'S STATE STATE REGULATED THROUGH THE TEXAS LOTTERY COMMISSION.

SO YOU GET NO PROFIT FROM THIS.

WE DO. YOU GET NOTHING? YEAH, WE DO. JUST A LITTLE BIT.

OKAY. WELL, SO WE'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, LIKE TO SAY WE DID ABOUT $9 MILLION IN TWO YEARS IN SALES FOR IN THE CITY OF CLUTE.

SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN THAT HERE.

AND SO THE MONEY YOU GAVE BACK TO THE CITY IN CLUTE I THINK YOU REFERENCED $250,000.

WAS THAT IN THE FORM OF SALES TAX? YES, MA'AM. YES, SIR.

OKAY. SO IT'S THE CITY GETS 2.5% AND THE STATE GETS 2.5%.

SO EVERY EVERY QUARTER WE WRITE A CHECK TO THE CITY OF WHATEVER PERCENTAGE OF THE SALES.

SO THE 2.5% AND THE 2.5%, WHICH IS 5%, THAT COMES OUT OF THE 30% THAT GOES TO THE CHARITIES.

EXACTLY. ALL RIGHT.

AND YOUR SALARY COMES OUT OF THAT 30%.

YES, SIR. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WE DO GOOD.

IT'S REALLY GOOD.

DOES ANYONE ELSE? WELL, HOW OFTEN A Y'ALL OPEN? SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, SIX DAYS A WEEK, SIX DAYS.

ALL DAY OR JUST IN THE.

IT'S IN THE EVENING TIMES.

SO WE'LL BE OPEN THE DOORS OPEN AT 4:00 EACH DAY ON.

WE'LL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WE'LL BE THE DOORS OPEN AT 4:00.

AND THEN SUNDAY, THE DOORS OPEN AT 10 A.M..

SO WE'LL HAVE FIVE NIGHT TIMES AND ONE DAY TIME.

IS THERE SMOKING IN THERE? NO. NO SMOKING? NO SMOKING. THEY DO HAVE ALCOHOL, BUT IT'S JUST IN THE BAR AREA SO.

AND THEY ALSO HAVE BOWLING FOR THE KIDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO IT'S ALL KIND OF CENTRALIZED, EVERYTHING.

SO. SO AND THEY ALSO HAVE POOL AND APA LEAGUES AND ALL KINDS OF GOOD STUFF THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE, MR. WISE? I LIVE IN LAKE JACKSON.

I ALSO HAVE A BINGO HALL IN PEARLAND.

I JUST OPENED UP ON THE 12TH OF FEBRUARY AT THE VFW IN PEARLAND AND SO.

I'M SORRY I CUT YOU OFF.

YOU DID? YEAH, I GOT EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? I RECOMMEND THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

THE SUP APPLICATION OF 1040 SOUTH VELASCO FOR A BINGO FACILITY TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL, CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION.

AND THERE THERE ARE FINDINGS OF FACTS OF NO NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.

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

OPPOSED SAME SIGN.

OK MOTION CARRIES.

GOOD LUCK, MR. WISE. ITEM FOUR CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION AND TAKE

[4. Conduct a public hearing, discussion, and take possible action on an application for a Special Use Permit (SUP) pursuant to Sec. 28-63 of the Code of Ordinances to consider a request submitted by Seven Souls Tattoo Studio, to allow for a Specific Use Permit for a Tattoo and Body Piercing Studio at the property located at 117 West Myrtle Street, Angleton, TX.]

POSSIBLE ACTION ON AN APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT PURSUANT TO SECTION 28-63 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO CONSIDER A REQUEST SUBMITTED BY SEVEN SOULS TATTOO STUDIO TO ALLOW A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING STUDIO AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 117 WEST MYRTLE STREET ANGLETON, TEXAS, MR. SPRIGGS.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.

THIS IS A REQUEST, AS NOTED, FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED CG GENERAL COMMERCIAL.

IT'S RIGHT IN THE CORE OF OUR DOWNTOWN AREA ON MYRTLE STREET.

MOST OF THE LAND, OF COURSE, IS ZONED CBD, BUT THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE TRACKS THAT ZONED FOR CG COMMERCIAL.

SO AS PART OF THE ZONING CODE, IN ORDER FOR TATTOO OR BODY PIERCING USES TO BE LOCATED IN THIS DISTRICT THEY MUST APPLY FOR THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

WE HAVE, OF COURSE, COPIED YOU ON SOME OF THE HEALTH REGULATIONS THAT ARE OF COURSE ORGANIZED AND ENFORCED BY THE STATE IN TERMS OF INSPECTION AND LICENSING, IN TERMS OF THE CODE REQUIREMENTS.

AND THEN WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED YOU THE SPECIFIC USE CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION OF THE PARTICULAR USES.

SOME OF US HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEAL WITH THESE TYPE OF USES IN DOWNTOWN AREAS, AND THEY TEND TO, OF COURSE, ATTRACT SOME EVENING ACTIVITY AS WELL AS DAYTIME.

[00:15:01]

BUT WHEN INDIVIDUALS, OF COURSE, GET TATTOOS, THEY ARE USUALLY DOWNTOWN PARTICIPATING IN OTHER ACTIVITIES SUCH AS DINING OR SOMETIMES THERE IS NIGHTTIME ENTERTAINMENT TYPE USES THAT WOULD OVERLAP INTO THESE TYPE OF USES.

SO THEY SORT OF COME IN AND HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

SO THE APPLICANTS THIS EVENING APPROACHED US EARLIER IN THE PROCESS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO LOCATE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

AND WE'VE OF COURSE, GIVEN THEM THE INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS OF YOU KNOW WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO GO THROUGH THE SPECIFIC USE PROCESS.

I WILL SAY THAT IN TERMS OF FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY, WE SENT IT TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE PROPERTY, HAD TO, OF COURSE, ADVERTISE IN THE NEWSPAPER.

WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED MUCH FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY ITSELF, OTHER THAN ONE LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THE MAYOR OF LAKE JACKSON, WHICH IS WHICH HE HAS HAD SOME EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PARTICULAR APPLICANT IN THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON.

SO HE GAVE US SOME POSITIVE FEEDBACK IN TERMS OF THEIR REPUTATION.

WE HAVE, OF COURSE, SINCE WE FIRST POSTED THE AGENDA, I WANTED TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT I HAD DISCUSSED WITH THE CHAIRMAN AS WE WERE LOOKING AT THE AGENDA AND WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT SOME LEVEL OF RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE IF IT WERE POSITIVELY RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL, SUCH AS HOURS OF OPERATION TEND TO BE A CONCERN FOR SOME OF THE SPECIFIC USES AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE THERE.

AND OTHER THINGS WE LIKE TO LOOK AT IS THE PROPERTY ARRANGEMENT OF WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A LEASE.

SO THE LONG TERM, THE LONG TERM DURATION OF USE IS SOMETIMES A CONCERN BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE MOVE IN AND OUT SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE SOME RESTRICTIONS THAT WOULD PROTECT THE CITY JUST IN CASE THE USE WERE TO GO IN AND CAUSE THINGS SUCH AS NUISANCES OR CONCERNS FROM THE ENFORCEMENT STANDPOINT, OR THEY MAY BE VIOLATE SOME OF THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE CODE.

SO THIS GIVES US SOME LEVEL OF INSPECTION.

NUMBER ONE, SOME LEVEL OF UPDATE TO THE COUNCIL IS HOW THE SPECIFIC USE IS OPERATING.

AND THEN WE CAN MANAGE, OF COURSE, ANY KIND OF LEASE ARRANGEMENTS THAT IF THE USE WERE TO DISCONTINUE, THEN THE SUP WOULD DISCONTINUE.

SO THOSE ADDED CONDITIONS, ONE THROUGH FIVE WOULD ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE ISSUES AND HOLD THE APPLICANT TO SOME RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE US OTHER AGENCIES SUCH AS THE STATE REQUIREMENTS THAT I MENTIONED.

AND THEN IT WOULD GIVE US SOME OVERSIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY COMPLY WITH THE ZONING AND OTHER CODES OF THE CITY.

SO AT 117 WEST MYRTLE, WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SIT DOWN WITH THEM AND GO OVER THEIR THEIR PLAN AND HOW THEY PLAN TO OPERATE.

AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED ALL THE CRITERIA TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO NEGATIVE IMPACTS FROM A LAND USE PERSPECTIVE.

SO STAFF SUPPORTS THE REQUEST AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL THAT YOU WOULD SEND THIS TO COUNCIL.

WITH THOSE THINGS IN MIND, WE WOULD BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE CONCERNING THE TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING USE.

THANK YOU. SO AT THIS TIME, WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

I HAVE AN APPLICATION TO SPEAK BY MR. ALEJANDRO CANTU.

MR. CANTU. HOW'S EVERYBODY DOING? GOOD. I'M ALEJANDRO CANTU WITH SEVEN SOULS TATTOO STUDIO.

AND, I MEAN, HE PRETTY MUCH SAID WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET ACCOMPLISHED HERE.

BUT I'M DEFINITELY IN SUPPORT OF US COMING TO ANGLETON AND SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY OUT HERE.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. YES, SIR.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION.

WHEN WE FINISH THE PUBLIC HEARING, WE MAY HAVE QUESTIONS, BUT BUT DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS, WE TYPICALLY ONLY RECEIVE INFORMATION.

SO JUST WE'RE NOT TRYING TO PUT YOU OFF.

I UNDERSTAND. BUT, YEAH, I THINK WE'LL BE A GREAT ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY, JUST LIKE WE ARE IN LAKE JACKSON.

AND I THINK THINGS WOULD BE GREAT.

BUT I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS. OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ITEM? YES, MA'AM. AND YOU ARE? GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS.

MY NAME IS ARIEL LAURA.

I AM A LAKE JACKSON RESIDENT, AND I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF SEVEN SOULS TATTOO STUDIOS.

AND I WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AFTERWARDS.

I HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WITH THEM IN THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON.

I DID A LOT OF WORK WITH MR. CANTU TO GET THEM APPROVED IN THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON, AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM BE ABLE TO GROW AND EXPAND IN ANGLETON AS WELL.

THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ITEM? GOING ONCE, TWICE.

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

[00:20:03]

COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION. NOW, ARE YOU ALL WELL AWARE OF THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH OR RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY ON THE APPLICATION? OKAY. VERY GOOD. REGARDING THE CONDITIONS, I WILL SAY THAT WE PUT IN HOURS OF OPERATION IN HERE JUST AS A PLACEHOLDER FOR DISCUSSION. SO WE'RE OPEN TO DISCUSSING WITH THE APPLICANT WHAT THEIR WISH IS AND THEN WHAT THE COMPARABILITY MIGHT BE WITH SOME OF YOU IN TERMS OF QUESTIONING ON THE HOURS OF OPERATION. THEIR HOURS COULD BE DIFFERENT.

WE JUST DON'T WANT THEM OUTSIDE OF THE BOUNDARIES THAT YOU'VE SAID IN THE CONDITIONS.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR.

SO WE CAN WORK BACKWARDS FROM THERE.

OKAY. AND I DID THAT WITHOUT FURTHER INFORMATION FROM THEM, AS WELL I WILL ADMIT.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. WELL, I THINK IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO START.

I WILL JUST SAY REAL BRIEFLY, I'VE WORKED ON DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION.

VERY DILIGENTLY PROBABLY 15 YEARS, GIVE OR TAKE.

AND THEN A TIME PRIOR TO THAT.

SO CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS THERE IS PRETTY DEAR TO MY HEART.

THIS IS NOT THE BEST LOCATION, IN MY OPINION, FOR THIS BUSINESS, ALTHOUGH I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE BUSINESS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

IT'S JUST THAT ONE OR TWO BLOCKS RIGHT THERE AT 288 AND 35 IS JUST SO CRITICAL AND HOW IT'S DEVELOPED.

HOWEVER, VISITING WITH SOME OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PROPER PROBLEM WITH IT OR OFF SITE BUSINESS OWNERS.

THE ONLY CONCERN THAT I WAS DID RECEIVE WAS CONCERNING THE HOURS, JUST MAKING SURE THAT THERE WERE NOT OPEN LATE AT NIGHT TO MAYBE INVITE DISTURBANCES IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

SO I THINK THE HOURS OR SOMETHING.

I'D LIKE TO KIND OF HEAR WHAT YOUR HOURS YOU TYPICALLY WOULD WANT TO HAVE.

AND LET'S JUST SEE IF THAT WORKS FOR US.

OKAY. SO JUST THE REFERENCE TO THAT, OUR LAKE JACKSON LOCATION IS OPEN FROM 10 A.M.

TO 6 P.M. OR TILL 8 P.M.

DURING THE WEEK AND THEN 10 A.M.

TO MIDNIGHT DURING THE WEEKENDS.

WE TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLY BEING OPEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS DIRTY SOUTH, WHICH THEY CLOSE AT 2:00.

THE SHOP THAT I HAD BEFORE WAS FROM NOON TO 2 A.M..

BUT I'M REALLY OPEN TO RECOMMENDATIONS ON IT.

IF WE COULD AT LEAST STAY OPEN TILL MIDNIGHT, THAT'D BE GREAT IF WE OPEN TILL 2:00.

THAT'S AWESOME. IT'S REALLY Y'ALL'S RECOMMENDATION.

BUT I WILL SAY AS FAR AS LIKE CREATING CONFLICT OR ANYTHING, WE HAVE NEVER HAD TO CALL THE POLICE OR ANYTHING TO OUR ESTABLISHMENTS ACTUALLY IN OUR STATE RECOMMENDATION OR STATE REGULATIONS.

IF THE POLICE IS CALLED TO OUR ESTABLISHMENT, THE STATE CAN COME IN AND SHUT US DOWN.

SO WE TEND TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE.

WELL, SOMETIMES YOU'RE NOT THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

IT'S OTHER PARTIES.

AND I. AND I COMPLETELY I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THAT.

AND I UNDERSTAND EXTREMELY LOUD MOTORCYCLES.

YEAH. WHERE'S YOUR SHOP IN LAKE JACKSON? WE ARE DOWNTOWN.

THE ZONING IS B2.

WE WERE RIGHT NEXT TO A TABLE 24.

AND ALL THE BUSINESSES OUT THERE LIKE HAVING US.

WE NORMALLY IF SOMEBODY COMES AND GETS TATTOOED, THEY BRING FRIENDS AND FAMILY OR WHATEVER.

THEY GET OUT AND GET THE SHOP AROUND SOME OF THE OTHER STORES, SO.

AND REGARDING THAT LAYOUT THERE AND I DID MENTION, BUT JUST VERIFY FOR THE COMMISSION THE NUMBER OF STATIONS AND TYPICALLY HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU WOULD HAVE IN THE FACILITY AT ONE TIME. SO BASICALLY WE HAVE.

SO MY TATTOO SHOP IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN YOUR NORMAL TATTOO SHOP, JUST TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

SO WE HAVE A SECRETARY UP FRONT.

WE HAVE WE WILL HAVE FIVE STATIONS TOTAL, FOUR THAT ARE STRICTLY TATTOOS AND ONE THAT DOES TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS.

SO FIVE ARTISTS, ONE CLIENT PER ARTIST, THEN THE FRONT DESK.

AND IF THEY BRING SOMEBODY WITH THEM, I DON'T SEE NO MORE THAN MAYBE 20 TO 22 PEOPLE AT ONE TIME BECAUSE IT IS A SMALLER SHOP AND THAT'S THEN WE'RE FINE WITH IT BEING A SMALLER SHOP. WE HAVE EACH LOCATION OVER THERE, BUT I DON'T SEE MORE THAN MAYBE 25-30 AT THE MAX IF WE'RE HAVING AN EVENT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF MR. CANTU? OR ANYONE ELSE.

I THINK IT'D BE EXCITING.

I HAVE. I'M SORRY.

GO AHEAD. I WAS JUST SAYING I AGREE, THAT'S ALL.

I HAVE JUST ONE OTHER CONCERN AND IT'S SORT OF ADDRESSED HERE BY THE TIME ELEMENT OF THE SUP OR IT COULD BE ADDRESSED THERE.

BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE HAD GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON AND HAVE A GOOD BUSINESS.

[00:25:03]

WHICH IS GREAT.

I'M ALL FOR THAT.

MY CONCERN IS IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DECIDE TO SELL THE BUSINESS AND THE NEXT PERSON WHO COMES IN DOESN'T HAVE YOUR HIGH STANDARDS, AND WE'RE STUCK WITH AN SUP.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE'RE STUCK WITH THE BUSINESS.

SO THIS GROUP, I'M TRUSTING THAT WE WILL COME UP WITH SOME WAY TO HAVE SOME LIMITATION.

WE'RE OPEN TO YOUR SUGGESTION, ONE OR TWO YEARS.

WE ASKED SOME INFORMATION IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF YEARS THEIR LEASE CURRENTLY IS UNDER AND THEY COULD VERIFY, BUT WE DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER IN TIME TO PUT IT IN THE REPORT. BUT I WOULD SAY TIED TO THIS PARTICULAR LEASE AND ANYTHING ELSE WOULD COME BACK TO YOU FOR CONSIDERATION OR TO COUNCIL FOR MODIFICATION. THAT'S THAT'S MY SUGGESTION.

MR. CANTU, HOW QUICKLY DO YOU EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO SET UP AND ACTIVATE OPERATIONS ONCE YOU RECEIVE THE GO AHEAD FROM.

IF WE GET TO GO AHEAD AND IT'S REALLY NORMALLY WITHIN TWO WEEKS, THE STATE CAN ISSUE US OUR LICENSE.

WE'RE HOPING TO OPEN UP SOMEWHERE AROUND BETWEEN THE 20TH AND THE THE END OF THE MONTH IN FEBRUARY AT THE LATEST, MAYBE MARCH 1ST.

SO THIS IS NOT A LONG TERM ACTIVATION.

IT'S PRETTY QUICK.

OH, YES, SIR. YEAH. NO, I DON'T WASTE ANY TIME.

I'M SORRY. AS FAR AS THE.

I'M SORRY. YES.

AS FAR AS SELLING THE BUSINESS, THIS THESE SHOPS ARE MY LIFE'S WORK.

I WOULD NEVER SELL.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN OPEN IN LAKE JACKSON? FOR WHAT WE'RE GOING ON AND WE JUST HIT A YEAR THE OTHER DAY, WE JUST DID OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

WE HAD A PARTY AT THE SHOP, WAS ABLE TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY SOME GIVE OUT FREE CLOTHING, T SHIRTS, FOOD.

WE DID TATTOO DEALS, PIERCING SPECIALS.

SO IT'S A LOT OF FUN.

[INAUDIBLE] THIS WAS, IF THIS WAS ZONED CBD VERSUS COMMERCIAL GENERAL, WOULD IT WOULD THEY STILL NEED A SPECIAL USE? YES. ALL RIGHT.

JUST BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESS.

EXACTLY. IT'S ALLOWED AS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IN A NUMBER OF OUR COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.

ONLY BY YES. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

SO BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE HOURS OF OPERATION AND THE QUESTION OF MIDNIGHT CAME UP.

SO IF WE COULD TIE THAT.

WELL, WHAT I'M THINKING IS THE MOTION SHOULD INCLUDE A RECOMMENDATION TO INCLUDE THE CONDITIONS, THE HOURS, AS WELL AS THE DURATION OF THE PERMIT. YES.

THANK YOU. I GOT YOU COVERED.

WOULD YOU REMIND ME AGAIN OF YOUR HOURS IN LAKE JACKSON? MY HOURS IN LAKE JACKSON ARE FROM 10 A.M.

TO 8 P.M. DURING THE WEEK.

AND THEN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY THEY ARE, 10 A.M.

TO MIDNIGHT. THOSE SOUND LIKE GOOD HOURS TO ME.

SO AM I MAKING A MOTION HERE? I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE AN SUP FOR THIS PARTICULAR BUSINESS WITH THE THE HOURS YOU SPECIFIED, AND ALSO THAT WE DO A ONE YEAR DURATION FOR THE SUP, AND WE START THAT FROM THE DATE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FROM, AS WELL AS THE OTHER CONDITIONS REFERENCED IN THE RECOMMENDATION.

YES. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVE A MOTION BY MS. MCDANIEL.

I'LL SECOND.

SECOND BY MS. TOWNSEND.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? AND AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, AFTER THE ONE YEAR, WE WOULD TAKE YOU THROUGH AN UPDATE WITH THE COUNCIL AND AT THAT TIME, IF THERE ARE SOME REQUESTED CHANGES THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AT THAT TIME? OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION INDICATE SO BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

OPPOSED SAME SIGN MOTION CARRIES.

GOOD LUCK. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO STAY OR LEAVE, WHATEVER YOU PREFER.

YOU TOO. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ITEM FIVE OK.

[5. Conduct a public hearing, discussion, and take possible action on a request for approval of a Text Amendment, modifying various subsections of the City of Angleton Code of Ordinances, Chapter 23, Land Development Code.

THANK YOU. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A TEXT AMENDMENT MODIFYING VARIOUS SUBSECTIONS OF THE CITY OF ANGLETON CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 23 LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

IN ADDITION TO OTHER MINOR CHANGES TO THE CHAPTER PERTAINING TO CROSS REFERENCE DUPLICATIONS, CLARIFICATIONS, TERMINOLOGIES, REORGANIZATIONS AND SIMILAR, THE FOLLOWING

[00:30:04]

SECTIONS ARE PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED.

23-5, 23.10, 23-12, 23-14, 23.37, 23-38, 27.5, 23-81, 23 -87, 23.95, 23- 94 THROUGH SECTION 23-98.

MR. SPRIGGS, WALK US THROUGH THIS AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN.

SO MY SUGGESTION THIS EVENING IS THAT WE WOULD OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN CONTINUE WITH IT UNTIL SUCH TIME IN THE FUTURE, A FUTURE AGENDA WHERE WE WOULD DEAL WITH THE ACTION THEREOF.

BUT WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN CIRCULATING FOR QUITE SOME TIME ON UPDATES TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

AS YOU KNOW, WE ADOPTED A LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE BASED ON ANOTHER CITY, SO THERE WILL BE SOME UPDATES THAT NEED TO OCCUR.

SO THESE ARE CONSIDER YOUR SHORT TERM CONSIDERATION.

WHAT IT DOES IS SORT OF CLEANS UP CERTAIN SECTIONS, SUCH AS OUR PLATTING PROCESS, CONSOLIDATES A LOT OF THOSE PLAT TYPES AND THEN TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW TO MAKE THE EASE OF REVIEW BETTER FOR STAFF AS WELL AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

SINCE POSTING WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING COMMENTS FROM LEGAL.

LEGAL IS STILL UNDER REVIEW OF THE PROPOSAL AS IT'S POSTED ON THE WEBSITE.

SO I WANTED TO JUST UPDATE YOU THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT A LOT OF CHANGES THAT DEAL WITH SECTION ORGANIZATION, REFERENCES TO STATE LAW AND OTHER CODES. WE RECEIVED A NUMBER OF COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONER TOWNSEND, AND I'M SURE SOME OF YOU HAVE SOME COMMENTS THAT YOU'LL BE FORWARDING TO STAFF.

SO WE ASK THAT YOU WILL PLEASE CONTINUE TO EMAIL THOSE TO ME.

WE WILL REDLINE THOSE AS WE WORK WITH THE CONSULTANT AND GET THOSE BACK TO THE COMMISSION.

BUT IF THERE ARE SOME SPECIFICS THAT YOU WANT TO DISCUSS TODAY, WE'RE WILLING TO DO THAT.

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF TIME AND FOR THE SAKE OF CLARITY, I THINK WE NEED TO WAIT ON THE LEGAL REVIEW.

PRESENT THOSE TO YOU WITH SOME UPDATED RED LINES AND THEN WE'LL GIVE YOU THE CLEAN COPY AS WELL.

I KNOW MR. TOWNSEND HAD SOME QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE REFERENCES LIKE SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

WE TYPICALLY PUT THOSE INTO ORDINANCES FOR PROTECTION OF THE CITY AND LEGAL HAS COME BACK AND ACTUALLY COMMENTED ON SOME OF THOSE SAME SECTIONS AND GAVE CLARITY THAT A LOT OF THAT LANGUAGE IS NOT REALLY NEEDED IN THE CODE ITSELF.

SO THAT'S WHY IT'S BEING ASKED TO REMOVE.

SO IT KIND OF CONCURS WITH STRIKING SOME OF THOSE PARTICULAR SECTIONS.

I WILL SAY THERE ARE A LOT OF ACRONYMS AND ISSUES THAT YOU SEE THERE.

THEY'RE BEING UPDATED BY LEGAL AS WELL.

SO THERE ARE SOME DOCUMENTS THAT ARE REFERRED TO LIKE THE ACM THAT YOU SAW WHERE WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A CONSTRUCTION MANUAL, BUT SUGAR LAND DID.

SO WE'RE DOING A LOT OF CLEANUPS.

SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE CLARITY.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE NEED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING TODAY BECAUSE WE POSTED THAT WE WOULD HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.

BECAUSE WE POSTED IT AND MAKE SURE NO ONE IN THE PUBLIC WANTS TO SPEAK.

SO WHEN THE DOCUMENT IS I DON'T WANT TO SAY FINALIZED, BUT READY WE'LL NEED TO DO ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING, I ASSUME BASED ON THAT REVISED DOCUMENT.

I WOULD SAY BECAUSE IT'S ADVERTISED, WE'RE STILL DISCUSSING IT, CLEANING IT UP THAT UNTIL SUCH TIME WE'RE COMFORTABLE, I WOULD SAY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THAT TIME AND THEN TAKE ACTION AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME.

SO I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD TAKE SO YOU DON'T WANT ME TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AFTER I OPEN IT.

I WOULD DO A CONTINUANCE? RECOMMEND A CONTINUANCE.

ALL RIGHT. QUESTION. WHERE DID THE AMENDMENTS COME FROM? SO THE AMENDMENTS CAME OVER A PROCESS OF TIME, AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WENT BEFORE DEVELOPERS, THE GENERAL COMMUNITY.

THERE WERE WORK SESSIONS THAT OCCURRED IN THE PAST BY THE CONSULTANT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY.

SO THEY'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH THE PREVIOUS DIRECTOR, CITY MANAGER AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS.

THERE'S THE HERITAGE TREE UPDATES.

THERE ARE SOME LONG TERM CHANGES THAT ARE BEING RECOMMENDED AS WELL.

AND AS WE PROGRESS, WE'RE FINDING OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE CODE.

SO YOU WILL SEE A NUMBER OF CHANGES I THINK THAT ARE COMING FROM AS WE INTERACT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THESE BEFORE TO SOME EXTENT AS WELL AS COUNCIL AND IT'S GONE BEFORE SEVERAL HEARINGS, BUT IT'S JUST TRYING TO GET IT INTO THE CHAIN OF REVIEW HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE BY THE CONSULTANT SO MY COMING IN I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM.

WE HAVE A STANDING MEETING EVERY TWO WEEKS AND WE GO OVER ALL OF THESE AND ANY COMMENTS THAT I GET, SUCH AS THE ONES THAT I'VE RECEIVED, I'LL DISCUSS THAT WITH THEM AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO FINE TUNE.

SO THE DEVELOPER WHO IS THE DEVELOPER? GANDA CORPORATION IS WHO THE CITY CONTRACTED WITH ORIGINALLY TO UPDATE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND THE ZONING CODE.

SO THAT'S I'M SORRY. THEY ARE CONSULTANT A PLANNING CONSULTANT THAT DOES THIS AS AN EXPERTISE.

[00:35:04]

OKAY BECAUSE WHEN YOU SAY DEVELOPER TO THIS GROUP WE'RE THINKING ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO COME AND YOU KNOW.

YEAH, YEAH.

BECAUSE THE PROBLEM THAT WE'VE HAD IS IT NEEDS TO BE SPECIFIC.

IT NEEDS TO BE FOR ANGLETON.

CORRECT. NOT CORPUS.

NOT SUGAR LAND.

SO IT NEEDS TO BE NOT LAKE JACKSON, IT NEEDS TO BE ANGLETON.

YES, SIR. AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM THAT WE'VE HAD.

WE DON'T NEED A DEVELOPER THAT WANTS TO COME IN AND PUT 40 FOOT LOTS LIKE THEY DO IN MISSOURI CITY, IN ANGLETON, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT ANGLETON. RIGHT. WHICH ACTUALLY LEADS ME TO A QUESTION I THOUGHT OF AFTER I EMAILED YOU THOSE COMMENTS WOULD OUT LOT SIZE MINIMUMS NOT BE IN OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE? ARE THEY SOMEWHERE ELSE? SHOULD THEY BE IN THERE? OKAY. SO YOU HAVE DISTRICTS AND IT'S DIVIDED UP BY DISTRICT.

SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH ZONE TO SEE WHAT THE DENSITY IS? YES. EVERY PIECE OF PROPERTY HAS A ZONING DISTRICT TIED TO IT.

AND THEN INDIVIDUALS CAN COME IN AND REQUEST A DIFFERENT DISTRICT, BUT IT HAS TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS.

NOW, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH NEEDS TO BE UPDATED ALSO, I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE REALLY NEED TO GO BACK AND REDO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE PRIORITIES OF THE CITY.

SO IF WE DON'T WANT TO ATTRACT CERTAIN USES, CERTAIN LOT DENSITIES, THAT'S WHERE WE START.

AND THEN THE ZONING CODE IS WRITTEN TO COMPLY WITH THAT.

AND THEN WHEN WE GET THESE REQUESTS, THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION YOU'LL BE LOOKING TO STAFF IS, IS IT COMPLYING WITH THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THAT AREA? AND THEN THAT'S HOW WE'LL CIRCLE THE WAGONS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAKING THE BETTER DECISIONS.

IS THAT SOMETHING WE WORKSHOP? THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WORKSHOP WHEN IT COMES TO DENSITY PRIORITIES, BECAUSE I WILL SAY COUNCIL HAS REQUESTED A WORK SESSION WITH ALL THE POWERS THAT BE LISTED DOWN AND LOOK AT HOW THE CITY HAS DEVELOPED IN THE PAST, HOW THE ZONING HAS BEEN LAID OUT.

LET'S GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF IT.

AND THEN IN THOSE KIND OF MEETINGS, I THINK THAT'S WHERE YOU ALL CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE LEGISLATIVE LEADERS AS TO HOW THE CITY IS PROGRESSING.

WHAT'S THE PRIORITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE THAT WAY YOU'RE RECOMMENDING SOME THINGS THAT YOU KNOW WOULD BE COMFORTABLY SEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE SAME GOALS AS THE CITY, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HELP YOU ALL DO.

SO I WILL SAY WE'LL PROBABLY BE SETTING THAT JOINT MEETING WORK SESSION UP IN THE MONTH OF MAY, PROBABLY AFTER WE GET THROUGH A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON CITYWIDE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. SPRIGGS? GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE.

AND WE WILL CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING PURSUANT TO MR. SPRIGGS' RECOMMENDATION UNTIL A FUTURE TIME.

ALL RIGHT. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE ON THAT ITEM.

NO, SIR. THANK YOU.

THE PROPOSED FINAL PLAT CONSISTS OF APPROX 145 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS ON APPROXIMATELY 35.62 ACRES AND IS GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF HOSPITAL DRIVE BETWEEN NORTH DOWNING STREET TO THE WEST AND BUCHTA ROAD TO THE EAST.

MR. SPRIGGS.

THANK YOU. YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU REQUESTS BY RIVERWOOD RANCH TO ENTERTAIN THE FINAL PLAT FOR SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR FOR THOSE 35.62 ACRES.

WE HAVE, OF COURSE, SENT THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS AS WELL AS THE PLAT TO THE CITY ENGINEER FOR COMMENT.

WE FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED THROUGH FROM THE PRELIMINARY PROCESS ONTO THE FINAL PLAT AND THEY HAVE CLEARED ALL OF THE COMMENTS, CONDITIONAL COMMENTS THAT IS.

AND THEN SOME OF THE COMMENTS WERE AROUND THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY, THE GEOTECH REPORT AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

ALL OF THOSE THINGS, OF COURSE WENT THROUGH A PROCESS AND THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE.

SO THERE ARE NO REAL ISSUES THERE IN TERMS OF WHAT THE COUNCIL HAS APPROVED IN THE PAST.

SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT SO THAT THEY CAN MOVE TOWARD THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.

ALL RIGHT. COMMISSIONER, WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE?

[00:40:01]

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.
