REGULAR AGENDA ITEM THREE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REQUEST TO APPROVE THE
FINAL PLAT FOR MULBERRY FIELD SUBDIVISION FOR 41 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, TWO RESERVES, THREE BLOCKS ON 13 ACRES LOCATED ON STATE HIGHWAY 35 AND NORTH WALKER STREET, EAST OF HERITAGE
LANE AND MURRAY RANCH LANE. 
          OTIS, TAKE AWAY. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS. 
          THIS IS A REQUEST OF A FINAL PLAT FOR MULBERRY FIELDS SUBDIVISION ONE FOR 41 LOTS, TWO
RESERVES. 
          UM, AND ALSO THREE BLOCKS FOR 13.0044 ACRES. 
          UM PROPERTY LOCATED AT UM STATE HIGHWAY 35 AND NORTH WALKER STREET, AS YOU KNOW. 
          AND ALSO EAST OF HERITAGE LANE OF MURRAY RANCH ROAD. 
          UM, THE APPLICANT TODAY IS JUST SEEKING FINAL APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT. 
          UM, TO DATE, WE HAVE APPROVED THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE PROJECT, AS WELL AS THE
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH SET FORTH ALL OF THE PARAMETERS FOR ALL OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, AS WELL AS THE CAP MEMO, PARKLAND DEDICATION, AND ANY OTHER DEDICATED
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS . THAT, UM, FINAL PLAT WOULD BE THE FINAL PROCESS UM, IN WHICH THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING
APPROVAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE HAVE THE PLAT FORWARDED TO OUR CITY ENGINEER, WHO CAME BACK WITH A NUMBER OF TEXTUAL
COMMENTS. 
          AND TO DATE, I THINK YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THE RED MARKS. 
          WE'VE UPDATED THE AGENDA WITH WHAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN CLEARED IN TERMS OF THOSE COMMENTS. 
          SO YOU DO HAVE A COPY ON ON YOUR IPADS THERE OF THE CITY ENGINEER'S FINAL REPORT ON THAT
SECOND REVIEW. 
          SO WE ARE REQUESTING THAT YOU WOULD VOTE TO FORWARD THIS TO CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION
FOR A FINAL PLAT UM, BEING THAT IT WOULD MEET ALL THE CITY REQUIREMENTS AND THIS WOULD BE SUBJECT, OF COURSE, TO FINAL ENGINEER APPROVAL
ONCE ALL OF THE UM, REFERRAL AGENCIES HAVE SIGNED OFF, AND USUALLY THAT'S BEFORE THE PLAT IS ACTUALLY SIGNED ON MY LOG
AND RECORDED. 
          UM, SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE FOR YOU TODAY. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL BE GLAD TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION AS WELL AS THE
APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. 
          DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I THINK COREY EXPLAINED MOST OF IT MINUS THE SETBACK, YOU KNOW, THE 20 FOOT SETBACK
VERSUS THE 25 FOOT SETBACK. 
          AND YOU HAD EXPLAINED AND MAYBE YOU COULD EXPLAIN MORE ON THERE'S AN EASEMENT. 
          YOU SAID THAT'S LIKE 11 FOOT. 
          SO IT WOULD BE MORE LIKE, UH, 31FT FROM THE STREET TO THE GARAGE INSTEAD RIGHT OF WAY. SO, I MEAN, IF YOU THINK ABOUT OUR RIGHT OF WAY, WE CAN'T BUILD IN THE RIGHT
OF WAY. 
          WE'VE GOT OUR BUILD LINE. 
          AND QUITE FRANKLY, I WAS, YOU KNOW, I'VE TALKED WITH ALL OF YOU OR A FEW OF YOU IN THE
PAST WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES BUILDING ON THIS. 
          SO WE'RE ABSOLUTELY OF THE OPINION JUST BECAUSE IT'S THERE. 
          THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO SET. 
          THAT'S JUST THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. 
          YOU KNOW, FOR US, WHENEVER WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN FIT
MY F150 IN THE DRIVEWAY. 
          SO WE WON'T BE ANY LESS THAN THAT. 
          RIGHT? BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT EVEN TOO I THINK THE THE CHARTER WAS GOING TO
CHANGE AS FAR AS THE SETBACK, AND Y'ALL WERE GOING TO GET ON THAT. 
          BUT I KNOW THIS CAME PRIOR TO TO THAT. 
          YEAH, THIS ALL CAME PRIOR TO AND OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED, JUST NOT EVEN A
FULL MONTH AGO OR IT WAS RECORDED NOT EVEN A FULL MONTH AGO. 
          AND WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE COULD TO ACCOMMODATE THE CITY OF ANGLETON. 
          [00:05:02]
WE'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT. 
          IF I MIGHT EXPLAIN THE TEXT AMENDMENTS DO GO BEFORE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 12TH, WHICH
WILL BE TUESDAY. 
          AND IN THOSE TEXT AMENDMENTS, WE, UM, HOPE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE, THE VERY ISSUE IN WHICH
YOU'RE STATING, MEANING THAT IN A LOT OF THE SUBDIVISIONS, THE 20FT IS NOT WORKING, BECAUSE WHEN YOU PARK TWO CARS IN THAT DRIVEWAY, IT'S OVERHANGING
THE SIDEWALK, UM, OR WITHIN THAT RIGHT OF WAY AREA. 
          SO COUNCIL IS HOPING TO SOLVE THAT ISSUE BY PUSHING THE HOMES, UM, FURTHER BACK ON THE
LOTS IN THIS CASE, UM, AS STATED, THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED. 
          UM, WE ARE WORKING WITH COUNCIL. 
          THERE ARE SOME PENDING QUESTIONS REGARDING IT. 
          AND THEN THEY'LL PROBABLY DEAL WITH THEIR QUESTIONS AS WELL TO, UM, YOU KNOW, ENSURE THAT
WE HAVE THOSE SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE. 
          OKAY. AND I DO APPRECIATE YOUR LARGER LOTS, I REALLY DO. 
          SO THIS BASICALLY GRANDFATHERED IN. 
          BUT MOVING FORWARD, WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT KEEPING OUR 30 FOOT SETBACKS KIND OF KIND OF
THE NORM FOR THE MOST PART. 
          IT JUST LOOKS BETTER FOR THE CITY AND I THINK IT'S SAFER FOR THE KIDS, I REALLY DO. 
          YOU ARE CORRECT. 
          ONCE THOSE CHANGES ARE MADE TO THE CODE, THERE WILL BE A GENERALIZATION PERIOD IN WHICH
ALL FUTURE SUBDIVISIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS WOULD HAVE TO CONCUR WITH THOSE STANDARDS. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OR ANYONE BASICALLY DEVELOPING A LOT IN THOSE DISTRICTS. 
          THAT'S A TOTAL NEW IMPROVEMENT WOULD HAVE TO SATISFY THOSE REQUIREMENTS. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT. 
          ANYTHING ELSE? ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? MAKE A MOTION THAT WE, UH. 
          I GUESS THE RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAN OF THE MULBERRY FIELD SUBDIVISION,
SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL OF THE CITY ENGINEER AND APPROVAL OF ALL REFERRAL AGENCIES, AND THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FORWARDED THE PLAT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL
CONSIDERATION. 
          HAVE A MOTION BY MR. CLARK. 
          SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND BY MISS BIERI. 
          IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION INDICATE SO BY SAYING AYE. 
          AYE. OPPOSED SAME SIGN. 
          MOTION CARRIES AND WE ARE ADJOURNED. 
          THANK YOU.
