[PUBLIC HEARINGS AND ACTION ITEMS]

[00:03:40]

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. SO OUR PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN.

SO IF YOU'RE HERE ON THIS ITEM AND YOU WANT TO TALK TO US, YOU'RE WELCOME TO EITHER TAKE THE MIC OR TAKE THE PODIUM AND AND SAY ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO SAY. IF YOU'VE, I PRESUME THEY'VE SIGNED INTO I DON'T HAVE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY FOR OR AGAINST OR IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS? SURE. I'M CHRIS ROBINSON. I'M ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS.

IN FACT, SHE'S THE OTHER PROPERTY OWNER. SHE OWNS HALF THE HOUSE.

THAT'S MY SISTER IN LAW. AND SHE HAS PARKINSON'S.

SO WE GOT TO A POINT WHERE WE GOT SOAKED GOING TO AND FROM THE VAN.

AND THE CAR COVER IS A KIT TYPE CAR COVER. IT'S NOT EVEN PERMANENT.

OTHER THAN BEING BROKEN DOWN AND AT THE END OF THE RAMP, EMPTIES RIGHT INTO WHERE THE SIDE DOOR IS FOR THE VAN.

SO I WAS DOING THIS FOR WELL, HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS, ACTUALLY.

AND THE CARPORT IS 20 BY 12, SO IT SPANS THE DRIVEWAY.

AND PLUS I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PADS FOR ANCHORING ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE THE HOUSE SIDE OF THE CARPORT.

[00:05:01]

AND WHAT IT WILL DO IS ESSENTIALLY KEEP THE OCCUPANTS AND THE VAN DRY WHEN WE GO TO LOAD AND UNLOAD.

AND SO THAT WAS WHY I NEEDED TO BUILD A CARPORT.

ANYBODY HAD A QUESTION FOR HIM? MY ONLY QUESTION AND IT MAY BE MORE FOR STAFF WOULD BE HOW FAR.

I KNOW THIS WOULD BE FOR A VARIANCE FOR A SETBACK REQUIREMENT.

HOW FAR DOES THAT ENCROACH INTO THAT RIGHT OF WAY? LIKE HOW CLOSE TO THE STREET AND THE UTILITIES AND ALL THAT WILL THAT MAKE THE END OF THE CARPORT? SO TYPICALLY THESE HOMES ARE SOMEWHERE IN THE 25 TO 20 FOOT DISTANCE FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY TYPICALLY.

SO I THINK THAT VARIATION IS OF 15FT THE WAY IT'S NOTED.

AND THERE ARE JUST UNCLEAR. THERE ARE OTHER HOMES IN THE AREA, NOT ONLY WITH CARPORTS, BUT CARPORTS THAT BASICALLY ENCROACH THE RIGHT THE SAME WAY, A SIMILAR AMOUNT. AND THOSE ARE PHOTOGRAPHED.

YES. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

YOU CAN SIT DOWN. UNLESS THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. DO ANY OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR WANT TO MAKE A MOTION OR DISCUSS ANYTHING? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. OKAY. I MAKE A MOTION THAT THE BOARD HAS ESTABLISHED FINDINGS OF FACT AND DETERMINES THAT A HARDSHIP HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR THE REQUESTED VARIANCE TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES.

SECTION 28-45.-SF-7.2. SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 7.2 DISTRICT.D.2.

MINIMUM FRONT YARD SETBACK TO ALLOW FOR A CARPORT TO BE REPLACED IN THE FRONT YARD WITHIN A REDUCED FRONT YARD LINE OF 15FT, PLUS MINUS FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE. THE MOTION CARRIES.

WE WILL. Y'ALL ARE WELCOME TO STAY IF YOU'RE CURIOUS.

BUT IF YOU'RE DONE, YOU'RE WELCOME TO LEAVE. SO.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 3. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE TO SECTION 28-101.1 PARKING LOT PAVEMENT REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW FOR USE OF A COMPACTED PARKING SURFACE LOT TO ALLOW FOR A TEMPORARY OVERFLOW PARKING LOT FOR THE ADJACENT HOPE ANIMAL HOSPITAL, LOCATED AT 41360 STATE HIGHWAY 288. LOCATED ON, THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON P.I.D.

693187 BCC, LOT 1, BLOCK 1. THE STAFF WANT TO GIVE US A BRIEF RUNDOWN. YES. THIS IS A PARKING LOT SURFACE VARIANCE BEING REQUESTED FOR HOPE ANIMAL HOSPITAL AS NOTED IN THE INTRO. THE APPLICANT WILL BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THE NEED FOR THIS.

WE CALL IT SHARED PARKING BECAUSE IT'S ON A SHARED LOT WITHIN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF FEET FROM THE PROPERTY.

THEY ARE, OF COURSE, DEALING WITH GROWTH AND ALSO POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF THE FACILITY.

BUT IN THE INTERIM, THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO HELP WITH THEIR OVERFLOW OF EMPLOYEE PARKING.

SO IF YOU WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL THE SLIDES, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE SOME OF THE PHOTOS THAT SHOW DURING SOME OF THEIR PEAK TIME THE NEED FOR THE OVERFLOW PARKING.

SO IT WOULD BE ADJACENT TO THE USE, TO THE RIGHT WITH SOME OF THE SLIDES SORT OF SHOWS YOU TOWARD THE VACANT LOT THAT WE'VE OUTLINED.

IN WHICH THEY WOULD, OF COURSE, CREATE A PATHWAY SO THAT IT COULD BE ACCESSED BY THE EMPLOYEES, AND THEN IT WOULD BE OF SOME FORM OF CRUSH CHAT IN WHICH THEY'LL EXPLAIN THAT TO YOU AS WELL.

APPROACH TO THIS AND IT'S CONSIDERED A FORM OF INTERIM PARKING.

AS I STATED FOR THEIR EXPANSION, ONCE THEY ARE TO INCORPORATE THE ACTUAL EXPANSION TO THE FACILITY, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL PARKING FOR ON-SITE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS DETENTION.

WE'VE NOTIFIED THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200FT OF THE PROPERTY, AS WELL AS DULY NOTED AND POSTED THE LEGAL ADVERTISEMENT.

THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE APPEALS ARE OUTLINED IN THE LIST OF CRITERIA IN WHICH WE SEE NO MAJOR ISSUE, WHERE IT WOULD CAUSE HARDSHIP TO ANY OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.

SO WE EXPLAINED THAT AND ALSO THEIR HOURS OF OPERATIONS ARE IN THE REPORT.

SO WE STAND CORRECTED, OF COURSE, BY THE APPLICANT IF THOSE HAVE CHANGED.

[00:10:03]

BUT I WOULD ASSUME THERE ARE EMERGENCIES WHEN THEY HAVE TO MAYBE WORK AFTER HOURS BY APPOINTMENT.

OTHER THAN THAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF AFTERWARDS, WE'LL BE GLAD TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE.

WE'VE OF COURSE, LISTED THE MERE FACT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE, OF COURSE, OBTAINED THE PERMIT AS A CONDITION AND NOT PARKED WITHIN ANY RIGHT OF WAY.

AND THEN SOMETIMES WE TYPICALLY WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO PAVE UP TO THE RIGHT OF WAY TO KEEP DIRT AND MUD OFF OF THE ROAD.

IN TERMS OF THESE SORT OF PARKING LOTS. SO WE CAN DISCUSS THAT AS WELL.

WE NOW DEFER TO THE BOARD. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN.

WILL THE APPLICANT PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND GIVE US A BRIEF SYNOPSIS, OR, I GUESS, IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY, SO, YEAH, WE'VE BEEN OPEN FOR A LITTLE OVER FIVE YEARS, GROWING RAPIDLY.

SO ON MOST DAYS OUR PARKING LOT IS COMPLETELY FULL WITH STAFF AND CLIENT PARKING, AND WE'RE NOW HAVING TO PARK IN THE GRASS CLIENTS WERE HAVING TO PARK IN THE GRASS, OF COURSE, WALKING THEIR DOGS A LONG WAY. WE'RE ON THE ON 208, WHICH IS A VERY BUSY FREEWAY.

SO YOU ALWAYS HAVE THAT RISK OF A DOG GETTING OFF A LEASH, WHICH WE DON'T PREFER THAT, BUT IT'S JUST THE CHALLENGES OF GROWTH WE'VE HAD.

WE OWN THAT EMPTY LOT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, AND WE WANT TO DO A CRUSHED ASPHALT JUST STAFF PARKING LOT.

SO IT BASICALLY WILL LOOK LIKE ASPHALT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE GRAVEL.

AND PROBABLY ABOUT HALF OF THAT EMPTY LOT FOR STAFF ONLY.

AND DRAINAGE. THERE'S A DITCH ON THE FRONT SIDE AND A DITCH ON THE BACK SIDE.

SO DRAINAGE IS NOT AN ISSUE FOR THAT SMALL PARKING LOT.

AND SO IT'S JUST REALLY TEMPORARY. AND THEN ONCE WE EXPAND OUR, OUR PLAN IS TO EXPAND HOPEFULLY AT SOME POINT NEXT YEAR THEN WE WILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE EXPANSION FOR THE PARKING LOT AT THAT TIME.

SO MY QUESTION IS YOUR THE THAT DRAINAGE DITCH THAT'S BETWEEN THE LOT AND WHERE YOU GUYS ARE AT, BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MESS WITH THAT? NO, SIR.

CREATE ANYTHING OVER IT, OKAY? NO, SIR. OKAY, WE'LL HAVE, SO WE'LL HAVE A WALKWAY TO THE HOSPITAL, AND THEN WE ACTUALLY WILL HAVE A BRIDGE OVER THOSE DRAINAGE DITCHES.

OKAY. OKAY. AND JUST I PRESUME SIGNAGE SO PEOPLE KNOW IT'S STAFF PARKING ONLY.

RIGHT. YEAH, WE'LL PUT A SIGN FOR STAFF PARKING ONLY.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT. THANK YOU.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I'LL SECOND A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. THE MOTION CARRIES.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT OR ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? MY MAIN CONCERN WAS THE DRAINAGE, BUT. IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE IT DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE FROM WHAT IT IS RIGHT NOW.

SO. YEAH, EXACTLY. YEAH, I KNOW THAT THE DRAINAGE IS ALWAYS A BIG DEAL WHEN THEY SAY, OH, WE'RE JUST GOING TO PUT THIS HERE, AND THEN IT RAINS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THINGS LIKE THAT CREATES A BIGGER MESS. YEAH. OKAY.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION, A MOVE THAT WE FIND THE CRITERIA OF SECTION 28-23.F OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF ANGLETON, OR MET, AND GRANT VARIANCE TO SECTION 28-101.1 PARKING LOT PAVING REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW FOR THE OVERFLOW PARKING LOT.

USE OF A COMPACTED CHAT LOT FOR THE HOPE ANIMAL HOSPITAL WITH THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS.

AND IF WE CAN MODIFY THAT TO BE THE. ASPHALT.

ASPHALT. THAT GETS MODIFIED TO BE AN ASPHALT LOT.

THANK YOU. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE.

MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME TO GO.

BUT WE HAVE NO FURTHER BUSINESS. AND SO WE'RE ADJOURNED AT 12:15.
