[00:25:02]

STUDENTS AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BUT ALSO TO HIGHLIGHT OPPORTUNITIES AND PARTNERSHIPS THE CITY CREATES WITH THE COMMUNITY.

THIS GROUP OF STUDENTS WAS THE BIGGEST INTERNSHIP PROGRAM WITHIN THE LAST RECENT YEARS. SO WE WERE VERY PROUD OF OF MISS MYRON ACCOMPLISHING THAT.

AND SO WE JUST WERE VERY HAPPY WITH HER POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

SHE'S VERY OUTGOING PERSONALITY, AND SHE'S DEFINITELY A TRUE ASSET TO THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT.

SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF MISS MYRA.

CONGRATULATIONS. CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INCREDIBLE HONOR.

I'M TRULY GRATEFUL TO BE RECOGNIZED AS EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH.

THIS ACHIEVEMENT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT AND COLLABORATION OF MY AMAZING COLLEAGUES AND GUIDANCE OF OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM.

I AM INSPIRED EVERY DAY BY THE DEDICATION AND HARD WORK OF EVERYONE HERE.

THIS AWARD MOTIVATES ME TO CONTINUE STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS RECOGNITION.

IT MEANS A LOT TO ME. BUT BEFORE WE GO DOWN TO TAKE A PICTURE, I JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR CITY.

AND WISH YOU CONTINUED SUCCESS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

MR. PRESIDENT. YEAH. THAT'S TRUE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

HELLO. HI. HOW ARE YOU ALL? CONGRATULATIONS. CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU.

HELLO. THANK YOU. HI THERE.

CONGRATULATIONS. HEY, BILL.

HELLO. HI. WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT.

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BRING MY CERTIFICATE. OKAY.

PERFECT. RIGHT HERE, YOU GUYS. ARE YOU IN THREE, TWO, ONE. HERE WE GO. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MISS MYRA. AND SHE WAS ACTUALLY AN INTERN HERSELF HERE WITH THE CITY OF EDINBURGH BEFORE WE HIRED HER FULL TIME, SO.

OKAY. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX. PUBLIC COMMENTS.

YES, SIR. MAYOR. THE EDINBURG CITY COUNCIL ASKED FOR A SPECIFIC PORTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO BE DEDICATED TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES. I WILL BE TAKING TIME.

PLEASE NOTE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD IS NOT INTERACTIVE. THE COUNCIL MAY NOT RESPOND TO PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME.

COUNCIL. THERE ARE FOUR PUBLIC COMMENTS. THE FIRST PUBLIC COMMENT IS FOR CLARITY REGARDING TAXPAYERS MONEY. GOOD EVENING.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS COUNCIL KEEPS INCREASING THE COST OF LIVING IN EDINBURG, AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU BELIEVE THE PEOPLE SHOULD EXTEND YOUR TERM IN OFFICE.

THE VOTERS VOTED IN 2018 FOR TWO FOUR YEAR TERMS. THAT WAS 67.86 VOTERS.

WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE TO ALL THOSE VOTERS.

SO CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

THE HIDALGO COUNTY HEAD START PROGRAM IS REQUIRED TO CREATE A COMMUNITY PROFILE IN THE HIDALGO COUNTY COMMUNITY SERVICE AGENCY IS REQUIRED TO ASSESS COMMUNITY CONDITIONS FOR CONTINUING FEDERAL ASSISTANCE.

A STATE OF TEXAS HAS VOTED TO USE STATE FUNDING TO REDUCE THE TAX BURDEN ON THE PEOPLE, AND HIDALGO COUNTY IS ONE OF THE LARGEST COUNTY IN TEXAS WITH SIGNIFICANT DEGREE OF POVERTY. MY POINT IS THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND AGENCIES UNDERSTAND THE CONDITIONS THAT EXIST IN EDINBURG, EXCEPT THEY DO NOT INCLUDE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. THIS COUNCIL HAS INCREASED STAFF SALARY BY 3% AND INCREASED WATER RATES BY 11%

[6. PUBLIC COMMENTS]

IN THE FIRST YEAR. AT THE END OF THREE YEARS, THE INCREASE WILL BE SLIGHTLY OVER 67% AND THAT IS NOT ALL THAT WILL HAPPEN.

THIS COUNCIL INTENDS TO SELL MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN REVENUE BONDS.

SO AT THE END OF THIS PROCESS, THE PEOPLE OF EDINBURGH WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER WATER RATES AND BE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT.

BUT THAT IS NOT THE END OF THE STORY.

THERE IS NO WATER. I COULD GO INTO WHERE THERE IS NO WATER, BUT THE ANSWER WILL STILL BE THERE IS NO WATER, SO WHY IMPROVE THE SYSTEM? EVERY TIME I SAY THAT THERE IS NO WATER, SOME ENGINEER JUMPS UP AND SAYS WE CAN USE WELL WATER. OKAY, IF ANYTHING, HOW ABOUT THAT? WE START THIS SOLUTION OF DIGGING THE WELLS.

NOW WHEN THE WATER, WHEN WE FIND THE WATER, THEN WE CAN IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE PROCESS WILL SAVE A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY.

MY MAJOR CONCERN IS POVERTY AND THE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING AND HOW IT OCCURS.

[00:30:01]

POVERTY IS THE INABILITY TO PAY FOR THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE, AND WATER IS A BASIC TO LIFE.

THE REASON THAT I AM HOPEFUL THAT OUR CONCERNS WILL BE ADDRESSED IS THE 2025.

THERE ARE THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WILL BE ON THE BALLOT.

SELLING BONDS MAY INCREASE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS, BUT IT WILL NOT GET YOU ELECTED.

GAS IS $3.19 AT H-E-B.

95% OF THE PRODUCTS SHIPPED IN THE VALLEY COMES FROM TRUCKS.

ELECTED OFFICIALS DO NOT SEEM TO REALIZE THAT INCREASING TAXES DURING A RECESSION IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK EVERYONE, PLEASE TO PRAY FOR ISRAEL THAT THEY WILL WIN THIS WAR AND PRAY FOR THE HOSTAGES TO BE RESCUED, DEAD OR ALIVE.

THEIR FAMILY NEEDS THEM.

SO PLEASE KEEP ISRAEL IN YOUR PRAYERS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU MA'AM.

THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT IS BILL CARLSON REGARDING FRIENDS OF EBONY.

MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY.

I WANTED TO BRING UP A FEW OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS FOR FRIENDS OF EBONY.

AND FIRST, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SERVICE THAT YOU DO FOR US EVERY DAY.

AND IT OBVIOUSLY SHOWS BECAUSE THERE IS A PROOF RIGHT THERE THAT 2024 AT THE ALL-AMERICA CITY THAT IT ALL STARTED UP IN FRONT OF WHO I'M LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

SO I'M HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS WITH YOU BRIEFLY THE REQUEST FOR ITEM 14 C ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

WE NEED TO FINISH THE GOLF CARTS PATHS.

WE STILL HAVE AN AREA ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CANAL.

THERE WERE HOLES NUMBER SIX AND SEVEN ARE INVOLVED WITH ALONG THAT CANAL BANK RIGHT NOW THEIR THEIR DIRT. AND UNFORTUNATELY, IF WE HAVE A RAINSTORM LIKE WE DID JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WE'LL BE OUT THERE CLEANING THOSE CARTS AS THEY COME IN.

IT'LL BE A MESS. SO WE ALSO HAVE ON NUMBER SEVEN TEE BOX TO NUMBER NINE TEE BOX ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT CANAL.

THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AS WELL.

AND SO THESE ARE THE TWO MAJOR AREAS.

AND THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE'RE HERE ABOUT TODAY.

I ALSO WANT TO BRING UP THE FACT THAT EDINBURG EBONY GOLF COURSE IS BEEN DOING QUITE WELL. LAST YEAR IT HAD THE HIGHEST REVENUE IT'S EVER HAD, EVER. AND AND THAT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU.

THE THE USE OF IT. THE OPPORTUNITY OF SEEING THAT THINGS WERE GETTING DONE, HIRING A PGA PROFESSIONAL AS THE PERSON THAT'S IN CHARGE THERE, AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THAT THIS PLACE IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN BE APPRECIATIVE OF.

THE OTHER THING IS THAT WE'RE HERE IN JULY.

WE STILL HAVE SEVERAL MONTHS LEFT AT.

BY THE END OF JULY, WE WILL HAVE TOPPED LAST YEAR'S REVENUE.

AND SO THIS JUST SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

GUYS, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE OPPORTUNITY OF FIXING IT UP AND MAKING IT A PLACE FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO COME AND PLAY.

THE BIG PART ABOUT IT IS WE HAVE ALL THESE FAMILIES WITH THEIR KIDS OUT THERE, AND IT'S IT'S A GREAT SITE.

RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT ALL THESE KIDS OUT THERE LEARNING HOW TO PLAY, AND THIS IS WHAT IT'S THERE FOR.

ALL THESE ITEMS THAT WE DO THERE IS SO VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE FUTURE CITIZENS HERE.

BUT NOT ONLY THAT, WE WE SEE IT AS AN OPEN SPACE AND I'M DONE.

OKAY. BUT THE 4TH OF JULY, JUST REMEMBER, EDINBURG ROTARY GENERATED 265,001 NIGHT. AND WE ENDED UP WITH A NET OF 80,000, ALL GOING TO 501 C THREES HERE IN THE CITY OF EDINBURGH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT IS BLESSED, GEORGE. ABOUT ILLEGAL BUSINESS.

HELLO, MAYOR. MY NAME IS BLESSING.

ACTUALLY, I'M HERE TO NOTICE SOMETHING ABOUT A BUSINESS CALLED BLACKOUT.

IT'S BEEN OPEN IN EDINBURGH CITY, INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.

THEY DON'T POST ANY VIDEOS OR ANY FLIERS UNTIL TWO IN THE MORNING.

AFTER 2 A.M., THEY OPEN THE BUSINESS AND IT'S OPEN UNTIL 7 A.M..

THEY FIRST TIME OPENED IN MCALLEN AND THE CITY OF MCALLEN CLOSED THEM DOWN, AND THEN THEY MOVED TO PALMVIEW.

THE CITY OF PALMVIEW CLOSED THEM DOWN.

THEN THEY WENT TO CITY OF MISSION.

THEY CLOSED THEM DOWN OVER THERE ALSO.

AND I HAVE A LOT OF THE CITY ORDINANCE FROM BROWNSVILLE AND MISSION PALMVIEW HOUSTON, WHICH THEY SIGNED THE DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE BYOB.

LIKE THEY CAN BE OPEN UNTIL 2 A.M., BUT THIS PLACE HAS BEEN OPEN FROM TWO UNTIL SEVEN IN THE MORNING. SO I JUST HAD THE CONCERN, LIKE, IS IT LEGAL TO HAVE THAT OPEN? BECAUSE I CAME A COUPLE OF TIMES TO THE CITY, BUT THEY KEEP ON TELLING ME TO GO TO THE PERMIT. THEN THEY SAY, GO TO THE PLANNING.

AND THEN ONCE I TALKED TO MR. JAIME AND EVEN HE SAID, LIKE WE CALL THE EDINBURG PD, BUT THEY SAY LIKE THE CITY HAS TO TAKE CARE OF IT, LIKE THEY HAVE TO SEND SOME KIND OF DOCUMENT SAYING, LIKE IT'S ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO SHOW UP TO CLOSE THE BUSINESS DOWN.

AND IT'S RIGHT ON MCCALL ON NEAR THE WALMART, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

THAT WAS THE ONLY CONCERN. I JUST WANT TO SAY, SIR, WE CAN'T GET INTO THAT DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU WE COULD MAKE SURE CITY MANAGER FOLLOWS UP WITH, I HAVE SOME VIDEOS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE, ABOUT DRUGS AND EVERYTHING LIKE, WHICH I CAN GIVE THE PEN DRIVES TO THEM SO THEY CAN PASS. BUT THANK YOU FOR REPORTING IT, SIR, TO US, I APPRECIATE IT. YES SIR.

THANK YOU SIR. THERE ARE NO FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS.

MISS MCCLARTY DOES WANT TO SPEAK ON PUBLIC HEARING SEVEN EIGHT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. VERY WELL.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN PUBLIC HEARINGS.

COUNSEL, WE HAVE, AS WE'VE DONE BEFORE, AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ITEMS A, B, C, D, E, AND F, SO I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ALL THE ITEMS AT THIS

[00:40:03]

TIME. SO THE HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IF YOU WISH TO COMMENT ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS BEFORE US, YOU MAY DO SO AT THIS TIME.

AND I THINK MISS FERN, YOU HAD ON ONE OF THEM SO YOU COULD COME UP AND SAY YOUR COMMENTS. THANK YOU.

I BELIEVE THAT YOU ALL HAVE SOME PICTURES UP THERE THAT THEY PUT ON THERE FOR ME.

THIS IS SEVEN E AND MY PICTURES I GAVE YOU.

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS. THIS IS ON THE CORNER OF MCCALL AND CHAPIN.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, NORTH WEST CORNER.

IF YOU'LL SEE WHERE I CIRCLED ON ON BOTH PAPERS.

THEY'RE THE SAME SPOT, BUT A LITTLE DIFFERENT WHEN YOU HAVE THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS THE LOT ON MCCALL.

OVER HERE. THIS ONE, WE COULD SEE IT.

YES, MA'AM. I COULD SEE IT.

THAT IS WHERE THE SEWER RUNS OVER THAT ITTY BITTY WHITE THING.

ALL RIGHT, THE SECOND PAGE, THAT'S AS BIG AS I COULD GET IT.

THIS IS THE LITTLE SEWER THING.

I BELIEVE I SENT YOU A PICTURE WHEN YOU WERE IN NEW YORK OR WASHINGTON.

RATHER. I GUESS I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE OUT OF TOWN.

THIS THING OVER, FLOODS ALL OVER STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.

KIDS ARE WALKING BY IT.

IT RUNS OUT ON CHAPIN AND RUNS DOWN ON MCCALL ROAD.

[7. PUBLIC HEARINGS]

[A. Hold Public Hearing and Consider the Ordinance Providing for the Rezoning Request from Residential, Primary (RP) District to Residential, Multi-family (RM) District, All of Lots 15 and 18, Southside Subdivision, Located at 908 South 10th Avenue, as Requested by Wealth Construction, LLC. (A 4/5 vote is required by the City Council to overturn the Planning & Zoning Commission action.) [Jaime Acevedo, Director of Planning & Zoning]]

AND YOU KEEP ALLOWING BUSINESSES, HOMES.

THIS ONE. I COULDN'T EVEN TELL EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE WANTING TO BUILD THERE, BUT THE SEWER SYSTEM RIGHT THERE CANNOT HANDLE NOT ONE MORE.

I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL PEOPLE, SENT PICTURES, I BELIEVE, TO OUR CITY MANAGER AND SHOWED THAT ACTUALLY OVERFLOWING.

IT LOOKED LIKE A SHOWER WITH POOP AND EVERYTHING GOING OVER THAT LITTLE SHORT PIPE.

AND THIS ONE IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE THIS HAPPENS TO THE TO THE WEST.

AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION WAS I TRIED TO FIND OUT AND LOOK UP.

THEY HAVE 3 OR 4 SITE PLANS, AND I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ACTUALLY WHAT THEY ARE ARE WANTING TO PUT THERE.

HOW MANY MORE? HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE ONE THAT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND THE EAST SIDE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE HORRIBLE.

THEY DON'T EVEN LOOK GOOD.

BUT THE SEWER SYSTEM AT THIS AREA CANNOT HANDLE ANOTHER.

NOT ANOTHER BUILDING, NOT ANOTHER HOME, NOT ANOTHER APARTMENT.

AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, I WILL CALL YOU THE NEXT TIME IT'S RUNNING OVER AND YOU AND I CAN WALK OUT THERE.

THAT'S MY QUESTION. THANK YOU.

70. 70. MISTER, MR.. CAN YOU ADDRESS THE.

I KNOW IT'S A REZONING MR., BUT CAN YOU ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS? THAT'S CORRECT. JAIME ACEVEDO, PLANNING AND ZONING DIRECTOR, FOR THE RECORD.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE ONLY DEALING WITH THE REZONING OF THE PROPERTY.

IT'S 1.677 ACRES. THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS, AT WHICH TIME WE'LL LOOK AT THE UTILITIES AND ADDRESS ANY ISSUES IN THE AREA.

GIVEN THAT IT'S 1.677 ACRES THEY CAN I MEAN, THE LIKELIHOOD IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR SOME RIGHT OF WAY ALONG THE AREA.

SO IT'LL BE REDUCED A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

AND THEY ARE ALLOWED, IF APPROVED, TO BUILD ABOUT 28 I GUESS MULTIFAMILY UNITS PER ACRE.

SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED.

WE DID SEND NOTICES TO 35 RESIDENTS IN THE AREA.

WE HAVE NO OPPOSITION AT THE MEETING.

PNC DID APPROVE IT BASED ON THE SURROUNDINGS.

THERE ARE MULTIFAMILY UNITS IN THE AREA.

I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT.

SO I KNOW ACROSS THE STREET, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, THERE ARE SOME MULTIFAMILY, RIGHT? LIKE ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER, BUT ON THE WEST SIDE. WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

ON THE WEST SIDE, THERE'S THERE'S STILL SOME.

AND SO WHEN Y'ALL EVALUATE BASED ON SURROUNDING USES, I KNOW THERE'S OBVIOUSLY USES.

RIGHT. FOR MULTIFAMILY ACROSS THE STREET. BUT I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING HOW DO WE WEIGH THAT. RIGHT. BASED ON HOW MUCH MULTIFAMILY WE HAVE THERE.

AND THEN THE FACT THAT THERE'S NO MULTIFAMILY ON THAT SIDE.

YEAH. WELL, THERE IS TO THE NORTH SIDE YOU HAVE A MOBILE HOME PARK.

SO YOU'RE RIGHT, THERE'S A MIXTURE OF OF ZONING.

I KNOW, BUT MY QUESTION, BECAUSE I GET ASKED THIS A LOT.

HOW DO WE DETERMINE THIS? AND SO I KNOW YOU ALL DO THE EVALUATION.

WE LOOK AT US, WE LOOK AT VARIOUS THINGS. WE LOOK AT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IN THIS AREA HAS BEEN DESIGNATED FOR, FOR MULTIFAMILY.

BUT EVEN THOUGH THAT SIDE OF THE STREET IS NOT MULTIFAMILY, THAT'S MY QUESTION. YEAH.

WELL, I MEAN, WE WE DO SEND OUT NOTICES AND WHEN, IT WHENEVER THERE IS OPPOSITION IN THE AREA.

WE DO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. RIGHT.

MAY I ASK ANOTHER QUESTION? YES, MA'AM. THE HEARINGS STILL OPEN JUST NORTH OF THE TRAILER PARK.

AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU ONLY SEND OUT FOR THE FIRST 50 FOOT OF PEOPLE 300FT NORTH.

YEAH. SO I DIDN'T OR I WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING.

AND LIKE YOU SAID, THE ONES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THIS ON, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE IT, ARE HOMES RIGHT THERE ON ON THE THING.

[00:45:01]

FORGET THE TRAILER PARK.

LOOK, JUST PULL IT BACK A LITTLE MORE AND YOU WILL SEE.

THERE'S NOTHING BUT HOMES ALL THE WAY ON THE SAME SIDE, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CHAPIN AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE, BECAUSE ON THE VERY CORNER THERE'S JUST AN EMPTY LOT.

BUT THERE ARE HOMES IS GOING NEXT TO THIS, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IN THE WORLD YOU'RE GOING TO GET 20 MORE DIFFERENT WHATEVER ON AN ACRE AND A LITTLE MORE WITH WHAT THE PROBLEM WE HAVE THERE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I KNOW THIS IS JUST A REZONING, BUT IS THERE A YOUR PLANS IF THEY WERE TO GO THROUGH AND THEY STARTED THE, THE, THE, THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE AND ALL THAT IMPROVEMENT OF THE SEWER AND ALL THAT WITH THAT TYPE OF.

YEAH. BECAUSE THE, THE, THE PROPERTY IS NOT SUBDIVIDED AT THIS TIME.

SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS AND THEIR ENGINEER WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS ANY SEWER ISSUES IN THE AREA.

HOW MANY MULTIFAMILY UNITS ARE AROUND THE SURROUNDING AREAS? THERE'S SOME ON THE NORTH SIDE. THERE'S SOME ON THE WEST SIDE.

I MEAN, ON THE EAST SIDE AND THEN SOUTHEAST ALSO.

SO I DON'T KNOW AN EXACT NUMBER.

I KNOW THAT PREVIOUSLY, LAST YEAR, WE APPROVED SOME FURTHER SOUTH OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. BUT I MEAN, BEING SO CLOSE TO, TO THE UNIVERSITY, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF MULTIFAMILY IN THIS AREA.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

SORRY MY MIC WAS TURNED OFF, BUT ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? THE HEARING IS STILL OPEN.

ANYONE IS. YES, SIR. GO AHEAD.

IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME, SIR. FOR THE RECORD, I'D APPRECIATE IT. HI.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS PENA.

I WORK WITH THE RIO DELTA ENGINEERING.

I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 7B7B.

YES, SIR. GO AHEAD. THAT'S ONE OF THE ITEMS. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. BASICALLY SPEAK UP A LITTLE BIT.

YEAH. CAN YOU. MAYBE THAT OTHER MIC.

SORRY. YES. BASICALLY, THIS IS GOING TO BE A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.

I JUST WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPER ALREADY SPOKE WITH THE NEIGHBORS AROUND THE AREA, AND WE HAVE THE SUPPORT FROM THEM.

BASICALLY, LIKE ALL THE WE'RE REQUESTING THIS ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION JUST TO HAVE THE LOSS A LITTLE BIT SMALLER. SMALLER.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, ALL THE SOLUTION IMPROVEMENTS, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE PRETTY MUCH STRAIGHTFORWARD.

YEAH, BASICALLY IT WAS JUST OKAY, GO AHEAD SIR.

IS THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY GOING TO TAP OUT ONTO GWYNNE ROAD OR IS IT ROLLING OFF OF IT.

NO, THIS IS GOING TO BE FRONTING.

I BELIEVE IT'S TWO LITTLE FRONT DOOLITTLE.

IS IT GOING TO HAVE TO EXIT OUT OR IS IT CLOSED? GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. IS IT CLOSED? DOES IT HAVE AN EXIT OR ENTRANCE ON OFF OF GWYNNE? NO, SIR. IT'S GOING TO GET PEOPLE. I GET PEOPLE FROM GWYNNE ROAD COMPLAINING THE ENTRANCE IS GOING TO BE JUST ON DOOLITTLE. YEAH, BUT MY QUESTION MAY BE COUNCIL MEMBER.

IS THIS WERE Y'ALL ALSO THE APPLICANTS ON GWYNNE ROAD? THERE WAS AN APPLICATION THAT CAME BEFORE US.

A LOT OF PEOPLE CAME TO OUR MEETING THAT WERE AGAINST IT. RIGHT. SINGLE FAMILY. BUT WERE YOU ALL THE SAME APPLICANT? THAT CATTY CORNER TO THIS THAT'S SHOWING ON THE MAP? WELL, RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST REQUESTING THE ZONING CHANGE JUST FOR THAT PROPERTY ON THE ON ON DOOLITTLE.

RIGHT. NO, I UNDERSTAND, SIR. BUT MY QUESTION IS, WERE YOU ALL ALSO REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT THAT APPLIED FOR REZONING ON WINN ROAD.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR. OKAY.

SO BECAUSE THAT WAS TURNED DOWN, I THINK, BY COUNCIL, LARGELY BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENTS. AND I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THAT Y'ALL TALKED TO OWNERS.

CAN YOU GIVE US AN IDEA OF THAT? BECAUSE I REMEMBER WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE.

AND IT'S ACTUALLY JUST CATTY CORNER TO THIS YOU KNOW, SITE. AND SO I JUST I WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY WEREN'T NOTIFIED TO BE FAIR TO Y'ALL BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WITHIN THE WHAT IS IT, 300FT RADIUS. RIGHT. BUT IT IS ADJACENT.

AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, AT THAT TIME, PART OF THE CONCERN FROM THE RESIDENTS IS SOME OF THESE AREAS ARE STILL IN SEPTIC TANK.

THERE'S NO SEWER IN THIS AREA.

SO THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT OBVIOUSLY WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BRING AND IF IT WAS GOING TO MEET THE CITY REQUIREMENTS AS IT RELATES TO THAT.

SO THAT'S THE REASON I'M ASKING.

OKAY. YES. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY GOT ANY OPPOSITION FROM ANY NEIGHBORS, ACCORDING WITH THE DEVELOPER. LIKE I SAID, HE SPOKE WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS AROUND THE PROPERTY, AND I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO WEIGH THAT.

BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE TO WEIGH AS TO WHAT.

SO MY QUESTION THEN IS FOR SEWER.

SO WHAT WHAT ARE YOU ALL GOING TO DO FOR MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS SITE ON THE SITE? I KNOW THIS IS A REZONING, BUT THAT YOU'RE REZONING IT TO EVENTUALLY DEVELOP IT. CORRECT? YES, YES.

SO I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING WHAT THE PLANS ARE AS IT RELATES TO THAT FOR THIS ONE.

WE ARE PROPOSING AN INTERNAL SANITARY SEWER LINE, LIKE INSIDE THE SUBDIVISION AND CONNECTED TO AN EXISTING.

I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S AN EXISTING SEWER LINE RIGHT ON ON DOOLITTLE.

[00:50:01]

SO WE'RE JUST CONNECTING TO THAT SEWER SEWER LINE LIKE THE I BELIEVE IT'S ON THE IN THE EAST SIDE OF THE SANITARY SEWER LINE.

YEAH. OKAY. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

AND I DID, JUST FOR THE RECORD, DID GET AN OPPOSITION FROM RESIDENTS.

NOT WITHIN THE 300FT, BUT IT IS NEARBY THIS SITE.

SO. BUT I WAS JUST INQUIRING ABOUT THE SEWER BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT WAS INQUIRED ON LAST TIME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, SIR. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? AT THIS TIME, THE HEARING IS STILL OPEN FOR ANYONE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS FROM ITEMS A, B, C, D, E AND F.

IF NOT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

COUNCIL. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THEM ONE BY ONE. SO WE'LL TAKE OUR CITY SECRETARY WILL READ ITEM EIGHT. CONSIDER THE ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE REZONING REQUEST FROM RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT.

ALL THE LOTS 15 AND 18 SOUTHSIDE SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 908 SOUTH 10TH AVENUE, AS REQUESTED BY WARD CONSTRUCTION, LLC.

MOVE TO APPROVE. WE HAVE A MOTION.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? WE HAVE A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? IF NOT.

ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES. ITEM B CONSIDER THE ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE REZONING REQUEST FOR RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DISTRICT.

BEING A 19.23 ACRE TRACT OF LAND OF LOTS THREE AND FOUR.

BLOCK EIGHT SANTA CRUZ GARDENS.

UNIT NUMBER THREE SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 4801 NORTH TOLEDO ROAD, AS REQUESTED BY RIO DELTA ENGINEERING ON BEHALF OF RG ENTERPRISES, LLC. MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND.

MOTION AND SECOND. TO APPROVE.

ANY DISCUSSION? YES. SO THIS IS THAT PROPERTY THAT THAT EXPLAIN AGAIN, BECAUSE I DID GET A FEW CALLS ACROSS THE STREET OR WAS IT CATTY CORNER.

WE HAD A LARGE GROUP COME AGAINST IT.

RIGHT. AND AND WE'VE ALWAYS DISCUSSED THAT OUR, OUR ORDINANCE ONLY ALLOWS FOR A CERTAIN PERIMETER.

SO LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, SHE DIDN'T RECEIVE A NOTICE ON THAT OTHER ONE. AND WE'VE KIND OF JUST JUST TO TOUCH ON THAT.

WE'VE REMEDIED THAT BY PUTTING A SIGN AT THE PROPERTY, BUT IT STILL DOESN'T ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE CLOSE BY.

SO DID THAT RADIUS NOT INCLUDE THE THE NEIGHBORS THAT WERE AGAINST THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS CATTY CORNER? IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THAT A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE OPPOSED TO THE TO THE ITEM THAT WAS HEARD BACK IN DECEMBER WERE NOT NOTIFIED.

I DID MAKE ONE CALL TO ONE INDIVIDUAL.

AND I ALERTED HIM OF OF WHAT WAS BEING PROPOSED.

AND HE HE SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS AWARE OF THE PROJECT ALREADY.

THEY ARE MAKING SOME CHANGES TO WHAT WAS PROPOSED PREVIOUSLY.

THE LOTS ARE GETTING A LOT LARGER THAN WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED.

BUT IT'S THE SAME OWNER.

SAME DEVELOPER AS THE ONE THAT WE SAW THIS PAST DECEMBER.

[B. Hold Public Hearing and Consider the Ordinance Providing for the Rezoning Request from Residential, Suburban (RS) District to Residential, Primary (RP) District, Being a 19.23 Acres Tract of Land of Lots 3 and 4, Block 8, Santa Cruz Gardens Unit No. 3 Subdivision, Located at 4801 North Doolittle Road, as Requested by Rio Delta Engineering on Behalf of RG Enterprises LLC. (A 4/5 vote is required by the City Council to overturn the Planning & Zoning Commission action.) [Jaime Acevedo, Director of Planning & Zoning]]

AND JUST TO REFRESH MY MEMORY, THE OTHER PROPERTY WAS OR THE OTHER PROJECT WAS MULTIFAMILY. NO, IT WAS IT WAS ALSO SINGLE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.

SO THE THE RESIDENTS WERE ALSO AGAINST BECAUSE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HASN'T CAUGHT UP TO THE AREA OR WHAT WAS THE THEY WERE OPPOSED TO THE SIZE OF THE LOTS. THEY WANTED BIGGER LOTS FOR THE AREA, BUT INFRASTRUCTURE WAS A CONCERN OF THEIRS AS WELL. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? WASN'T THE OTHER PROPERTY OFF OF GWYNN ROAD THOUGH? YES. RIGHT. THIS WILL BE.

SEE IT THERE. THIS KIND OF CHIEF. IT'S ACTUALLY CATTY CORNER TO THAT.

JUST THAT OTHER PIECE, RIGHT? YEAH. JUST RIGHT TO THE BOTTOM LEFT TO DO WITH GWYNN ROAD. RIGHT.

THIS ONE DOES NOT. NO, SIR.

YEAH. IT'S OFF OF DOOLITTLE. BUT IT IS CONNECTED. AND THAT'S THE REASON I ASKED. TO BE FAIR, I THINK THEY WERE THE SAME OWNERSHIP RIGHT ABOUT THAT PROPERTY.

YEAH. SO THE FIRST TIME IT WAS, IT WAS ON GWYNN ROAD.

YES, IT WAS ON GWYNN ROAD. THIS IS THIS IS ON DOOLITTLE ROAD, RIGHT. SO IT'S TWO SEPARATE ROADS. CORRECT. THEY OWN 30 ACRES.

THEY OWN 20 ACRES ACROSS.

AND AND THEN 20 ACRES ON OFF OF DOOLITTLE.

AND ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, IT'S NOT ON A ROAD, IT'S ON DOOLITTLE.

CORRECT. SO AND ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE ONES ON DOOLITTLE ROAD.

CURRENTLY, WE'RE THE ONLY ONES CONSIDERING ARE THE 20 ACRES OFF OF DOOLITTLE. CORRECT? NOTHING TO DO WITH GWYNN? NOT AT THIS TIME, NO. OKAY.

YEAH. NOT AT THIS TIME. AND I'M JUST UNDER DISCUSSION.

CAN WE ASK THE ENGINEER TO COME BACK OR.

NO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED, BUT YES, YOU CAN INVITE THEM TO COME BACK IF YOU'D LIKE. CAN YOU COME UP AGAIN, SIR? I JUST WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I THINK WE NEED TO. WE NEED TO LEARN WHAT THE PLANS ARE.

SO IS THE IDEA TO MAYBE GET IF THIS IS APPROVED, GET IT GOING RIGHT, THE DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN ARE Y'ALL GOING TO COME BACK? AND I KNOW MAY NOT BE FAIR ASKING YOU, YOU'RE NOT THE BUT I KNOW YOU'RE THE ENGINEER RECORD. I'M JUST THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME TO KNOW AT LEAST. SO I MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. YES, SIR. RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST DOING THAT THAT PIECE ON DOOLITTLE DEVELOPER WANTS TO DEVELOP THE REST OF THE THE THE ONE ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND THE ONE ON THE ON THE WEST SIDE. BUT FOR NOW, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS A FOCUS.

JUST WANT TO FOCUS ON THAT ONE. BUT EVENTUALLY HE'S GOING TO DEVELOP THE REST OF THE HE WANTS TO DEVELOP THE REST OF THE OF THE OF HIS PROPERTY.

[00:55:03]

THANK YOU. IS THAT PLANNED AS A PHASE IN THIS OR TWO DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS? I'M SORRY. IS THAT CONSIDERED LIKE A PHASE IN THIS ONE OR TOTAL DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT? IT'S GOING TO BE TOTAL DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TRY TO COMBINE THE TWO.

COMBINE THE TWO AND MAKE PHASE ONE, PHASE TWO, PHASE THREE.

YEAH, IT'S THE SAME DEVELOPER BASICALLY.

IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE DEVELOPING SECTIONS.

YEAH. WELL TO BE FAIR I MEAN IT MAY BE CONNECTED RIGHT.

I MEAN IF IT'S THE SAME PROPERTY OWNER THAT'S WHAT I GOT. SO YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR. SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR UTILITIES JERRY.

SO PART OF THE CONCERNS THAT THE RESIDENTS AND TO BE FAIR, I KNOW IT'S NOT WITH THIS SITE. IT WAS, BUT IT'S THE SAME OWNER, THE ADJACENT SITE ON THE SEWER AREA.

WHAT WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO BRING SEWER TO ALL THIS AREA? I MEAN, IF THIS GETS APPROVED, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE SEWER TO THEIR AREA, BUT NOT EVERYWHERE ELSE, RIGHT? SO CORRECT. CAN YOU KIND OF ELABORATE? ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA? WHAT? I MEAN, WHAT IT WOULD TAKE, I GUESS BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS AND I'VE SEEN THIS HAPPEN RIGHT IN AREAS WHERE WE'VE APPROVED.

THAT'S A NEW DEVELOPMENT.

AND ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT WERE ANNEXED, THESE WERE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY.

I GUESS THIS DIDN'T USED TO BE INSIDE THE CITY.

SO WE HAVE AREAS WHERE THERE'S GAPS, THERE'S NOT.

AND SO I GET COMPLAINTS A LOT ABOUT RESIDENTS THAT SAY, WELL, THERE'S A NEW DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW, ACROSS THE STREET AND THEY'RE GETTING SEWER, BUT WE DON'T HAVE SEWER.

WELL, THEY DON'T HAVE SEWER BECAUSE THEY WERE BROUGHT IN A LONG TIME AGO. RIGHT. AND SO I'M JUST WONDERING, BECAUSE THIS MAY BE THE SAME CASE OF THIS PROCEEDS.

SO WHAT IS THE CURRENT SITUATION OUT THERE RIGHT NOW AS IT RELATES TO SEWER? SO THERE IS A LIFT STATION THERE IN THE AREA.

AND SO WHAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO IS WHEN, WHEN THE ENGINEER COMES IN AND YOU KNOW, SUBMITS HIS CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. WELL, WE CAN WORK WITH THEM.

ALSO IS TO PRETTY MUCH MAKE SURE THAT THEY MAKE THE THEY PLACE THE LINE DEEP ENOUGH TO WHERE WE CAN EVENTUALLY BRANCH OFF OF THAT AND EXTEND SEWER, YOU KNOW, A LONG WIN AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT WHERE'S THE LIFT STATION AT? IS IT CLOSER TO DOOLITTLE OR TO GWEN? DO WE KNOW? YES, SIR. LET ME PULL IT UP.

IT'S ACTUALLY ON DOOLITTLE RIGHT HERE.

HOW FAR IS THIS TO DAVIS ROAD? DAVIS ROAD IS IS THE ROAD THAT RIGHT? I JUST DON'T KNOW THE DISTANCE.

IT'S NOT TOO FAR. RIGHT.

IT'S A QUARTER MILE. OH, IT'S A QUARTER MILE.

IT'S A QUARTER MILE. YEAH. SO I MEAN OBVIOUSLY THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPROVE IT I MEAN THEY'RE GOING TO MEET ALL CITY REQUIREMENTS. I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT IT WOULD LEAVE THE AREA BECAUSE THEN OBVIOUSLY THEN IT FALLS ON US TO ENSURE THAT WE PROVIDE ALL THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. RIGHT? YES, SIR. YEAH. THE LIFT STATION IS JUST SOUTH OF THAT.

ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE DISCUSSED THAT I'VE DISCUSSED WITH THE ENGINEER IS THAT, OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT TO SEE HOW MANY LOTS ARE GOING TO BE PUTTING THERE. AND EVENTUALLY, YOU KNOW, WITH THE OTHER SECTIONS OF PROPERTY THEY'RE GOING TO DEVELOP BECAUSE THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE PUMPS AT THE EXISTING LIFT STATION. AND, YOU KNOW, OVERALL, WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE IMPACT ON THAT, ON THAT EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO AND TO BE FAIR, I KNOW WE'RE JUST REZONING.

THAT WILL TAKE PLACE WITH THE OBVIOUSLY WITH THE PLATTING RIGHT AT THAT POINT, WHICH IS THE NEXT STEP.

AND I'M JUST GOING BASED ON THE OTHER COMMENTS WE HAVE GOTTEN, YOU KNOW, FROM THE RESIDENTS. AND BUT ANYWAY, THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION BY COUNCIL? I KNOW THERE'S ALREADY A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE. WOULD Y'ALL BE AMENABLE TO TABLE THIS ITEM SO WE CAN EXPLORE THE, I GUESS, THE NEEDS FOR THE ER AND THE IMPROVEMENTS? BECAUSE THIS IS A LOT OF LOTS AND I, I'M ALL FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ACCOUNTING FOR THAT NEEDS OF THE AREA.

BUT ANYWAY, I KNOW MOTION HAS BEEN MADE, BUT WOULD Y'ALL BE AMENABLE TO A TABLE OR.

I'D LIKE TO KEEP THE MOTION AS PRESENTED. ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND TO APPROVE.

SOME OVERFLOWS OF ISSUES ON THERE.

SO THE LIFT STATION FROM ANITA'S CAFE THAT'S JUST RIGHT NORTH OF IT DISCHARGES INTO THIS INTO THIS MANHOLE. AND SO WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING RIGHT NOW IS WE'RE CITY STAFF IS WORKING ON REROUTING THAT THAT LIFT STATION TO DISCHARGE INSTEAD OF GOING WEST AND THEN SOUTH ALONG REAL QUICK.

I'M SORRY. AND IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE CAPACITY THERE OF THAT? AND SO WHEN THAT DEVELOPMENT WAS DONE, THOSE MULTIFAMILY WAS THAT NOT OVERSIZE TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF THE I MEAN, THE DEVELOPMENT OR I KNOW THAT'S SPECULATING, BUT IT'S HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO.

I'M JUST WONDERING WHY WE'RE AT THAT POINT.

A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE THE GROWTH.

RIGHT? SO WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF SUBDIVISIONS.

AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT THE PIPES ARE STAYING THE SAME SIZE.

SO AS YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT PROGRESSES AND STUFF.

WE NEED TO WE NEED TO START UPSIZING THESE, THESE LINES.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS AGAIN, WE'RE REROUTING THE FORCE MAIN.

SO WE DON'T HAVE THOSE ISSUES.

SO IT'S GOING TO ALLEVIATE THE SYSTEM.

SO WE'RE WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING THAT IT'S GOING TO OVERSPILL ANYMORE.

RIGHT. BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO LOOK AT THIS YOU KNOW, DURING, DURING THE, DURING THE PROCESS TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE PROPOSING THERE, EXACTLY HOW MANY UNITS AND TO SEE IF THAT THAT SYSTEM IS GOING TO, IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IN THAT ADDITIONAL FLOW.

OKAY. IS THAT IS THAT SOMETHING WE'RE ALREADY CURRENTLY WORKING ON OR WE'RE HOPING FOR THIS YEAR'S BUDGET? NO. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY WE PURCHASED SOME PIPE FROM OUR CURRENT O&M BUDGET. AND RIGHT NOW, YES, SIR.

STAFF IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THAT OKAY.

YES, SIR. OKAY. SO MY QUESTION.

SO THE OUR PROCESS IS BEFORE WE LOOK AT CAPACITY, WE REZONE AND THEN WORRY ABOUT CAPACITY AFTERWARDS.

TYPICALLY WE LOOK AT THAT DURING THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS.

REZONING JUST REZONING CHANGES THE SO WE DON'T CONSIDER THE USE AND CURRENT CAPACITY BEFORE WE REZONE. I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THAT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

CAN I ASSURE YOU THAT, YES, THIS IS WHAT I SENT HIM.

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN IT'S OVER.

YEAH, BUT AS LONG AS THEY'RE WORKING ON FIXING RESOLVING THE PROBLEM.

I'VE HEARD THEM MENTION ABOUT THE RESTAURANT.

THEY'VE BEEN TELLING ME IT'S ACROSS THE STREET AT THE TRAILER PARK.

THEY HAVE A LITTLE LIFT.

DEAL. AND THAT. THAT WAS WHAT WAS MESSING IT UP.

SO I'M GETTING TWO STORIES UP AND THEN UNDERSTANDING ONE.

SEE THAT SEWER FROM ONE OF THE THE LIFT STATIONS THAT THEY NEED US? IS THERE ONE ACROSS THE STREET AT THE TRAILER PARK? YES, SIR. AND THAT'S A PRIVATE LIFT STATION. PARDON ME. THAT'S A PRIVATE LIFT STATION.

RIGHT. SO WE DON'T WE DON'T OVERSEE THAT.

[01:05:02]

SO BASICALLY YOU HAVE THESE TWO FORCES THAT ARE COMING INTO THE SAME MANHOLE, WHICH IS CAUSING THE. YOU'RE GOING TO TURN ONE OF THEM TO GO INTO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, WHICHEVER ONE OR SPLIT ONE.

YES, SIR. BECAUSE YOU CAN TAKE THE ONE THAT'S PRIVATE, AND YOU COULD JUST TURN IT BECAUSE IT'S WHERE IT GOES, IS OURS.

RIGHT. BECAUSE THEY PUMP IT INTO OUR SYSTEM.

WE TELL IT WHERE TO GO IN OUR SYSTEM.

RIGHT. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING TO BE STILL DISCHARGING INTO THAT MANHOLE.

AND WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE MONITORING YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, FROM NOW ON AND BUT BY, BY REROUTING THAT LIFT STATION BY ANITA'S, WHICH IS A BIGGER LIFT STATION THAN WHAT THEY HAVE THAT'S GOING TO HELP OUT THE, THE SYSTEM THERE. WHAT'S THE TIMELINE ON THAT? SO WE'RE LOOKING AT PROBABLY IN THE, IN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 WEEKS THAT WE'LL BE COMPLETING THAT PROJECT.

OKAY. AND SO FOR THIS, IF THIS WAS TO PASS, WHAT IS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS AN OKAY MULTIFAMILY.

THEY'RE IN THE SAME AREA.

SO WE'RE BASICALLY GOING TO REQUEST FROM THE ENGINEER TO PROVIDE HOW MANY MULTIFAMILY UNITS HE'S GOING TO BE PROVIDING.

WE'RE GOING TO ASK THEM TO PROVIDE FLOW CALCULATIONS AND CALCULATIONS THAT PRETTY MUCH THAT WE WILL VERIFY TO MAKE SURE WE ALREADY KNOW THAT AN ACRE IS ABOUT 28 UNITS.

SO WHAT'S THE NEED BY CODE? WELL, SOMETIMES SOMETIMES WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT DURING THE THE SITE PLAN OR, OR THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS IS THAT THINGS CHANGE, RIGHT? BECAUSE OF DETENTION REQUIREMENTS OR ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS.

SO THE NUMBER OF UNITS MIGHT ACTUALLY REDUCE DOWN.

SO WHAT I LIKE TO DO IS ONCE THEY KNOW WHAT HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. OKAY.

PROVIDE ME THE, THE FLOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GENERATE FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THAT WAY WE GET MORE OF AN ACCURATE RIGHT THAT THAT FLOW WOULD GO DIRECTLY INTO THIS CONUNDRUM NOW. YES, SIR.

BUT THAT CONUNDRUM SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR CHANGED 2 TO 3 WEEKS, RIGHT? CORRECT. SHOULD BE CHANGED BY THEN WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCEPT.

I GUESS THE CONCERN WE ALL HAVE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PROCESSED. IT'S GOING TO FIX THE SITUATION SO THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AND AFFECT THE NEIGHBORS AROUND THERE.

IT SHOULD BE MAKE IT WORSE.

AND SO SO IN BEST CASE SCENARIO, HOW HOW DO WE AVOID MAKING THIS WORSE WITH 28 UNITS. BEST CASE SCENARIO WHAT CAN THEY DO TO ALLEVIATE THAT? IF THEY'RE PROPOSING 20 UNITS AND AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THOSE 20 UNITS ARE THAT SEWER OR THE AMOUNT OF SEWER THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE PRODUCING BY THIS 28 UNITS, THEN WHAT THEY'LL HAVE TO DO IS ACTUALLY GO AND HAVE LESS UNITS FOR THAT.

IF THE ADDITIONAL IF THAT EXISTING SEWER LINE IS ABLE TO TAKE IN ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.

BUT IF THEY CAN'T TAKE IT ADDITIONAL CAPACITY WE JUST DENY THE THE SUBDIVISION I MEAN THE THE THE PLAT. CORRECT.

WE WON'T WE WON'T ALLOW THEM TO TO TIE INTO THAT SEWER LINE.

IF THAT'S THE CASE THAT COME BACK TO US.

DOES IT COME BACK TO US FOR APPROVAL? NOT THE NOT THE IMPROVEMENTS.

WE REZONE IT. I MEAN, THEY CAN DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. SO AND SO THE THE SOLUTION YOU HAVE IN PLACE THAT YOU SAID WILL BE READY WITHIN 2 TO 3 WEEKS. WHAT IS THAT CAPACITY GOING TO INCREASE TO.

I DON'T HAVE THE AMOUNT OF I COULD DEFINITELY GET BACK TO YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER DIAZ. WE CAN PROVIDE.

WE CAN. WE WILL HAVE WE CAN PROVIDE THAT, THAT AMOUNT OF FLOW THAT'S GOING TO BE RELIEVING FROM THAT. BECAUSE I GUESS THE POINT HERE IS THAT RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING TO ADDRESS THE EXISTING DEMAND.

RIGHT. BUT CORRECT. WE'RE NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THESE 28 CORRECT NEW UNITS.

THAT'S CORRECT THAT IT GETS REZONED BEFORE WE FIX THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

I GUESS COUNCILMAN, I HAVE A SUGGESTION.

WHAT I COULD DO GOING FORWARD SO THAT WE'RE NOT PUT IN THIS PREDICAMENT IS MAYBE HAVE THE RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS SIGN OFF ON THE REZONINGS.

YEAH. WELL, AT LEAST GIVE US COMMENTS BECAUSE THAT, I MEAN, THOSE ARE THE CALLS THAT I GET CONCERNS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WELL, THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE STREET.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO GET SEWER. WE DON'T HAVE IT. AND BUT AT LEAST SO THAT WE CAN KEEP IN MIND AS SOME THINGS WE VOTE ON A REZONING FOR BUDGET PURPOSES.

WE CAN PLAN ACCORDINGLY, RIGHT? LIKE, OKAY, THAT LIFT STATION IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE INCREASED, OR WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO, YOU KNOW, THAT WE CAN, I THINK, BETTER PLAN FOR AREAS, YOU KNOW, WE CAN DO THAT.

WE CAN GET FIRE. WE CAN GET SOLID.

SOLID. YEAH. AND ALSO, JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS CURRENTLY A PART OF IT IS ZONED COMMERCIAL. IS THAT CORRECT? PART OF IT IS COMMERCIAL. CURRENTLY IT'S A CORNER LOT. IT'S JUST KIND OF INTERESTING BUT I CAN'T I MEAN YOU KNOW THAT'S FINE.

[01:10:01]

IT'S ZONED COMMERCIAL.

GUYS. WOULD WE BE BETTER OFF JUST TO TABLE THIS AND GET MR. CARMONA TO COME BACK WITH SOME SUGGEST GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO COME BACK WITH SOME SOME FACTS RATHER THAN I SEE YOU, YOU'RE DOING YOUR BEST TO GET THE LITTLE WHEELS RUNNING UP THERE, TRYING TO GET IT TO GO. WELL, I THINK WE'RE STARTING TO GET TO A POINT WHERE I DON'T THINK WE'RE FAIR TO YOU THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW IF WE GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO PENCIL THEM, AND I, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

WELL, I MAKE A BETTER DECISION. I'M COMPLETELY FINE WITH THAT. I, YOU KNOW, BUT THERE WAS A MOTION BY ALREADY.

NEXT MEETING. YES, SIR.

I CAN HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION FROM YOU FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW, AS TO HOW MUCH FLOW WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING OFF FROM THAT SYSTEM, THAT SYSTEM. AND ALSO THIS BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TO ENCOUNTER PART OF THE INFORMATION I'D LIKE TO KNOW AT THAT TIME IS TO WHAT WHAT ARE WE MEDIATING AT THE SAME TIME THIS NEXT TWO WEEKS OR THREE WEEKS, WHICH YOU SAID WE SHOULD BE FINISHED SO WE CAN GIVE US A FINAL ABSOLUTE DATE ON THAT TOO.

SO WE CAN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS HERE.

SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A DOUBLE SORTED, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE AND WHAT ARE WE DOING TO WE CAN'T HAVE SEWER RUNNING IN THE STREETS. WE HAVE THAT PROBLEM. I THINK WE FINALLY GOT IT FIGURED OUT ON CANTON. THE CANTON AND SUGAR RIGHT.

CANTON SUGAR ONE. EVERY POPS ONCE IN A WHILE. IF IT STILL DOES.

YEAH, I LIKE THE IDEA OF PLEASE CHECK ESPECIALLY INFRASTRUCTURE.

YOU KNOW, WE JUST HAVE SO MUCH GROWTH AND I'VE USED THIS TERM BEFORE.

I'M NOT AGAINST GROWTH.

I JUST WANT RESPONSIBLE GROWTH.

SO IF WE CAN HAVE, YOU KNOW, YOUR INPUT BEFORE WE REZONE AND WE KIND OF GET STUCK WITH THE REZONING AND NOW WE HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PLAYING CATCH UP INSTEAD OF BEING READY. SO IF DAVID, CAN I WITHDRAW MY MOTION I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE OKAY.
