DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE REZONING APPROXIMATELY 1.69 ACRES FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 6.3 ZONING DISTRICT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1000 IN THE 1000 BLOCK OF EAST ORANGE, UH, NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF FERRIS STREET AND IN ANGLETON, TEXAS. MR. SPRIGGS, THANK YOU. UM, GRACE WILL ASSIST ME WITH, UM, MOVING THE SLIDES HERE. UM, THIS ITEM IS BEFORE YOU AS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR A REZONING OF THE 1.69 ACRES. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, UM, FOR THE 1.69 ACRES. AND WE'VE GIVEN YOU INFORMATION REGARDING THE LAND USE PLAN AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS PRETTY PARALLEL WITH WHAT THE ZONING CURRENTLY IS. I THINK AT ONE TIME THE CITY PROBABLY HOPED MOST OF YOUR INDUSTRIAL USES WOULD BE SITUATED NEAR RAILROAD. AND UM, THIS IS SOME THINGS THAT ARE TYPICAL OF INDUSTRIAL USE. TYPICALLY, THEY'RE ON PRIMARY STREETS AND MAJOR HIGHWAYS. OF COURSE, THIS IS NOT A MAJOR HIGHWAY [00:05:01] OF ANY SORT. UM, AND THEN WHEN, UH, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR ACTUALLY ABOVE RESIDENTIAL, WE HOPE THAT THERE ARE BUFFERS THAT ARE SITUATED TO SEPARATE. BUT WE SHOWED YOU SOME PHOTOGRAPHS THAT SHOWED EXISTING CONDITIONS. UM, OTHER THAN THE RAILROAD BEING THERE, I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY KEY INDUSTRIAL GOING ON WITH SOME OTHER INDUSTRIAL USES FURTHER DOWN THE RAILROAD. SO THE APPLICANT TODAY IS TRYING TO DO A PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY INTO, UM, SIX LOTS IN WHICH HE HAS PROPOSED. AND THERE IS A GRAPHIC IN YOUR REPORT THAT SHOWS THAT LAYOUT. UM, STAFF HAS, UM, GONE THROUGH THE CRITERIA FOR REZONINGS AND WE TYPICALLY WILL WEIGH THE SURROUNDING CONDITIONS AND WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING. AND WE FOUND NO MAJOR ISSUES AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, FOR, UM, ITEMS A THROUGH F IN THE CRITERIA FOR, UM, REZONINGS. UM, IN TERMS OF INTENSITY, WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A, UM, A USE THAT DOESN'T FIT IN THE AREA. SO WHEN YOU ACTUALLY, UM, DRIVE THE AREA, IT'S MOSTLY RESIDENTIAL, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TECH STOCK, UM, SITE IN WHICH, YOU KNOW, WILL BE CONVERTED TO SOME TYPE OF TRANSFER STATION OR SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE. BUT THERE ARE OTHER, THERE'S A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE, A STATE JUST EAST OF THIS PROPERTY AS WE SHOWED IN THE SLIDES. UM, SO WHAT WE, UM, DID ALSO IS WE PROVIDED YOU WITH THE 6.3 ZONING, UM, CODE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH GAVE YOU THE RESTRICTIONS ON THAT ZONING. SO THAT WAS A MUST SATISFY. THOSE THINGS WHEN THEY'RE CREATING A NEW DISTRICT, AS I NOTED, THEY CANNOT CREATE A SITUATION WHERE THEY CAN REQUEST VARIANCE IF YOU CAN'T CREATE YOUR OWN HARDSHIP. SO I DID POINT THAT OUT TO THE COMMISSION. SO WE WERE REQUESTING THAT INSTEAD OF DOING THE SIX LOCKS, WE FELT THE LOCKS, UM, WOULD BE MORE, UM, CONDUCIVE TO THE AREA IF IT WERE, WEREN'T SATISFIED THOSE STANDARDS. AND I ALSO PROVIDED YOU WITH THE LARGEST LOT BEING, YOU KNOW, EXCEEDING OVER 15,000 SQUARE FEET AND MAYBE THAT SMALLER LOT, UM, SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THERE, UM, BUT ABOVE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. UM, SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TODAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. THE APPLICANT IS HERE, UM, TO ADDRESS THE BOARD IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. AND, UH, WE'LL HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC AND THEN STAFF WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. ALRIGHT, AT THIS TIME I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVE SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER TOWNSEND AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SPORE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE SO BY SAYING AYE. AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. AT THIS TIME THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM IS OPEN. UH, IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT LIKE, WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? MS. DUBOSE, ARE YOU HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? YES. OKAY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE? AND, UM, WELL, OR WE CAN BRING YOU THE, WE'LL, WE'LL BRING YOU THE MIC. WE'LL BRING YOU THE MIC. AND, AND MS. DUBOSE, YOU LIVE AT 2 0 3 EVANS, CORRECT? I LIVE AT 2 0 3 EVANS AT THE CORNER OF EVANS AND ORANGE. THANK YOU, MA'AM. I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 60 YEARS OR OVER 60 ACTUALLY, WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY FLOODING IN OUR BACKYARDS UNTIL THEY BUILT VER RESERVE. I WANT TO KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD A HOUSING ADDITION ABOVE US NOW. I WISH THAT LAND IS HIGHER THAN OURS. EXACTLY. WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO? 'CAUSE VER RESERVE FIX THEIR BIG HOLDING POND. MM-HMM . AND I ASSUME THEY WON'T DO ANY DAMAGE TO OUR BACKYARDS. THAT'S A BACKYARD IS WHAT'S AFFECTED ON EVANS STREET. WELL, I WAS MISTAKEN THEY BUILT THE HOLDING POND. IT TAKES WATER OFF THEIR STREETS OFF OF THEIR HOUSING SITES, BUT IT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING FOR OUR BACKYARD. 'CAUSE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAISED, UH, HOUSE SITES, THEY RAN A DITCH INSIDE THEIR FENCE LINES, WHICH THE LOBE SIDE OF THE DITCH IS EVEN WITH OUR PROPERTY LINE. BUT WE HAVE HUGE RANGE. LIKE WE'VE HAD FIVE SINCE THEY STARTED BUILDING TRIBAL RESERVE. WE HAVE HAD FLOODING IN OUR BACKYARD THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR FENCE INTO OUR BACKYARDS. NOT GOING MINE, BUT MY NEIGHBORS, THE NEIGHBOR BELOW IT, AND NOW IT MEETS ORANGE STREET DRAINAGE PROBLEMS. AND I HAVE PICTURES THAT I'VE TAKEN SINCE THEY STARTED BUILDING KIND RESERVE. AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK TO SEE WHAT MY BACKYARDS LOOK LIKE NOW. OKAY. YOU BUILD SOMETHING ABOVE US, WE'RE GOING GET MORE DRAINAGE. UH, SO THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT. YOU MIND IF I, LET'S, LET'S, LET'S NOT GET INTO A QUESTION ANSWER JUST YET. LET'S JUST DO THE, LET'S JUST DO, UH, THE COMMENTS. THESE ARE PICTURES OF TOOK SINCE IT STARTED. [00:10:02] SO, SO TYPICALLY IN PUBLIC HEARINGS, WE JUST HEAR THE COMMENTS OF THE PUBLIC AND WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE'LL HAVE QUESTIONS. OKAY? DO, UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO ANYONE ELSE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK OTHER THAN, OTHER THAN HOW ARE THEY GOING TO CONTROL THE FLOODING UP THERE ON THAT NEW HOUSE ADDITION? THEY'RE GONNA BUILD BECAUSE THAT GROUND'S HIGHER. OKAY. IT'S LOWER FROM OUR END OF THE STREET TO THE RAILROADS. OKAY. SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH NOW. AND SO, AND SO IT'S NOT EXACT, IT'S GONNA INCREASE IT IF THEY BUILD A HOUSING ADDITION ABOVE US. GOT IT. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU MR. DUBBO. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE. I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM. SO SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER TOWNSEND AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HESTON. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE SO BY SAYING AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW THESE PICTURES ARE COMING AROUND. IS THE, IS IS THE, UH, REQUEST YOU'RE PRESENT? YES. UM, THE REQUEST IS PRESENT. UM, WE CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT, AND THEN WE CAN ALSO TALK ABOUT THE, THE DRAINAGE OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IN TERMS OF THE ALL FALLS AND THE DIRECTION OF THE FLOW. AND MAYBE WE CAN GET TO THE IMPACT ONE. CERTAINLY YOUR PICTURES, ARIEL SHOTS OF ORANGE STRIP. THEY LOOK FINE BECAUSE THERE'S NO SUNSHINE. THE STRETCH ARE DRY. EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE. LOOK AT THOSE PICTURES AFTERWARDS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO MR. KALER IS HERE. MR. KALER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME TO THE PODIUM WITH THE MIC AND, UH, ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS PLEASE? HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING TODAY? UM, SO WITH THAT CONCERN ON DRAINAGE, I'D ASSUME EVERYTHING WAS DRAINED TO THE, THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD BE TOWARDS THE RAILROAD TRACKS, WHICH THE RAILROAD TRACK WITH THE WAY IT SLOPED BACK THERE. UM, THAT'S SOMETHING I WOULD WITH THE CITY AND I WOULD MEET WHATEVER REQUIRE THEY HAVE ON, BUT I WOULDN'T ASSUME THAT IT WOULD MORE WATER TO THE CORRECT. OTIS. AT THIS POINT IN THE, IN THE PROCESS, WE ARE FAR, I WOULD ASSUME, FROM HAVING A DRAINAGE PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY. IS THAT CORRECT? HE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO DRAINAGE, UM, REVIEW AND APPROVAL THROUGH, UM, ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT. WHETHER OR NOT HE NEEDS DETENTION FOR THE FIVE OR SO LOCKS, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE EVALUATED DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE. UM, BUT HE CANNOT OF COURSE, UM, OUTFLOW, YOU KNOW, MORE FLOW FOR HIS IMPROVEMENT THAN IT WAS PRE-DEVELOPMENT. UM, SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE CALCULATED. UM, AND AS HE STATED, THEY WOULD SHOW THE OUTFALL HERE. UM, JUST SPEAKING BRIEFLY WITH, UH, THE EXPERTS, YOU KNOW, FROM THE AREA, YOU, IT'S PRETTY TRUE IN TERMS OF THE DIRECTION OF THE FLOW, UM, CURRENTLY HOW IT FALLS AND THEN IT, WITH WORST CASE SCENARIO, RUNNING ORANGE TO, UM, DOWNING WORST CASE SCENARIO IF IT WERE TO, YOU KNOW, COME THE STREET AREA, BUT, BUT THAT, THAT WOULD BE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF ORANGE, RIGHT? UH, NOT THE NORTH SIDE. YES. YES, SIR. OKAY. SO IT, IT SHOULDN'T, UH, REACH THE PROPERTY AT THE CORNER OF ORANGE AND EVERY, ANY STREET? I'M NOT, I'M NOT AN ENGINEER TO, YEAH. TO GIVE AN ENGINEER , UH, PROFESSIONAL AT, YOU KNOW, REVIEW OF IT AT THIS POINT, BUT HE WOULD STILL BE SUBJECTED TO, TO ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS. SO THERE'LL BE SIDEWALKS IN THE FRONT, NO DITCHES, EVERYTHING DRAINED TO THE BACK, BACK TOWARDS THE, UH, AS FAR AS WE KNOW AFTER THE RAILROAD TRACKS, THAT'S WHAT WE TRY TO ACHIEVE HERE BECAUSE THOSE PICTURES, THAT'S, THAT'S GONNA BE AN ISSUE WITH FAIR AND INDUSTRY BELOW. THERE REALLY IS CONTROL. SO, OKAY, MS. DUBOSE, YOUR, YOUR PICTURES ARE VERY COMPELLING AND, AND, UH, BUT WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW IS TO SIMPLY ALLOW FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A DEVELOPMENT AND AT, AT A FUTURE STAGE, THE DEVELOPER WILL HAVE TO PLOT THE LAND AND SHOW HOW THE PROPERTY DRAINS AND, AND WE WOULD RECEIVE ASSURANCES, I I SUPPOSE FROM THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT THAT IT'S PROPER AND NOT GOING TO FLOOD NEIGHBORS. SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I, I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO WANT TO COME BACK WHEN WE GET TO THAT FUTURE STAGE OF, OF PLATING THE PROPERTY, BUT, BUT, UH, AT TODAY'S POINT IN THE PROCESS, WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE YET. OKAY? OKAY. OKAY. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THE PROBLEMS WE'VE HAD FOR YEARS NOW. THANK YOU. YOU LOOK AT MY MOTION. IF, [00:15:01] IF YOU WANNA MAKE, I HAVE A QUESTION, I THINK FOR THE APPLICANT. UM, IS THERE A REASON WHY YOU ASKED FOR SF 6.3 INSTEAD OF 7.2 OR 10 EVEN, ESPECIALLY I GUESS ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT ONE OF THE LOTS, IF IT'S ZONED AS 6.3 WOULD BE NON-COMPLIANT. UM, WHEN WE DID THE DOG MEETING LAST YEAR, 6.3 IS, IS KIND OF WHAT THE REST OF THE AREA WAS. UM, AND IT ENSURED THAT THAT FAR LEFT LOT, WHICH NOW ON THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT WAS SKETCHED UP AT SIX LOTS, WHICH NOW WOULD BE FIVE. SO EACH ONE WOULD BE, UH, SEVEN ONE ISH FOOT WIDE. SO I THINK IF I HAD TO DO THE SEVEN THREE, IT WOULD BE THE REQUIREMENTS. NOW ON THE FIVE LOTTS, 7.272, SO FIVE LOTTS IS 7.2? YES. ALL FIVE WOULD BE COMPLIANT? YEAH, I WOULD BELIEVE SO, YES MA'AM. OKAY, THAT WAS MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WILL, UH, I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION, PLEASE, SIR, I MOVE. WE APPROVED THE REZONING OF THE APPROXIMATELY 1.69 ACRES FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT, SINGLE FAMILY 6.3 REZONING DISTRICT OR PROPERTY LOCATED IN 1000 BLOCK OF EAST ORANGE STREET. FOR THIS ITEM TO COUNSEL FOR FINAL, I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CLARK. SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SPORE. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MY ONLY POINT OF DISCUSSION WOULD BE COULD WE AMEND THE MOTION POTENTIALLY TO BE, UH, REZONED TO SINGLE FAMILY 7.2. OKAY, SO THE MOTION IS AMENDED FROM REFERENCE TO 6.3 TO 7.2. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDED MOTION INDICATES SO BY SAYING AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. GOOD LUCK MS. DUBBO. STAY IN TWO, MY PICTURES BACK. YES MA'AM. I SENT 'EM TO THE CITY ONCE THEN. I GUESS THEY WENT IN THE, WELL, I WOULDN'T, I WOULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME THAT, BUT YOU CAN CERTAINLY HAVE YOUR PICTURES BACK. I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE.
