I HOPEFULLY THEY'LL GET SOMEBODY FROM IT TO COME OVER HERE AND RESET IT SO THEY CAN TURN BACK ON. DANIEL ANYONE.
THANK YOU, MR. BLACK. ALL THE SCREENS ARE BLACK.

THEY CAN, THEY CAN. WE CAN CONTINUE WITHOUT IT. I THINK WE'RE OKAY. WE CAN LOOK AT THE. YEAH.
OKAY. SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF WEST JUNIOR STREET AND NORTH HOGAN ROAD. THE PROPERTY HAS APPROXIMATELY 8712FT².
THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT.
RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY ALLOWS FOR MULTIPLE DWELLINGS IN ONE LOT.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO GO TO RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DISTRICT, WHICH ALLOWS FOR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING UNITS.
THE LOT IS CURRENTLY VACANT AND THE APPLICANT INDICATED THE REASON FOR THE ZONE CHANGE IS

TO BUILD A HOME ON THE PROPERTY ADJACENT.ZONING. WE HAVE RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN TO THE NORTH, RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY TO THE EAST, AND RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY TO THE SOUTH AND WEST. STAFF MAILED OUT NOTICES TO SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS AND WE RECEIVED ONE COMMENT AGAINST. WHILE THE REPORT WAS PREPARED.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REZONING REQUEST FROM RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DISTRICT, BASED ON SURROUNDING LAND USE AND THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA.
IF APPROVED, THE APPLICANT WILL NEED TO COMPLY WITH ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS DURING THE PERMITTING PROCESS. THANK YOU.
A QUESTION FOR STAFF. I NOTICE HERE THAT YOU SAID THAT THEY GOT APPROVED TO INSTALL SEPTIC TANK. DO WE NOT HAVE SEWER OUT THERE IN THAT AREA OR.
SO LET ME BRING UP THE MAP HERE.
SO IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SEWER WOULD NOT BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
THE CLOSEST ONE WAS OVER ON NORTH ABBOT AVENUE.
AND THEY WERE GRANTED A VARIANCE TO INSTALL A SEPTIC TANK AT THIS LOT.
OKAY. YEAH. HOW DOES THAT WORK WITH.
I DON'T KNOW IF STAFF KNOWS WITH T-C-E-Q BECAUSE I KNOW, LIKE, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING YOU CAN'T INSTALL A SEPTIC TANK ON LESS THAN A HALF ACRE LOT.
SO THEY WOULD NEED TO FOLLOW THEIR GUIDELINES. THEY ALSO SUBMITTED A PLAN DONE BY A REGISTERED SANITARIAN.
OFF AS 0.6 ACRES AFTER THEY DEDICATED ALL THE NECESSARY RIGHT OF WAY TO THE CITY.
IT FELL BELOW THE HALF ACRE BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE OF THE DEDICATION THAT THEY GAVE UP.
THEY GAVE UP LIKE HALF OF THEIR HALF OF THEIR LAND.
A LITTLE BIT MORE. WELL, THAT'S A LOT.
OKAY. THEY GOT COMPENSATED FOR IT. YEAH, COMPENSATED FOR IT.
OKAY. AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO STEP UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE. NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
COMMISSION. SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, APPROVAL OF THIS ONE? YES.
WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL TO THE NORTH AND EAST.
WE DO HAVE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS, AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO BUILD A HOME ON THIS LOT. SO IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE A LESS INTENSIVE USE.
AND WHAT'S THE CURRENT ZONING.
THE CURRENT ZONING IS RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR APARTMENTS.
APARTMENTS WOULD MAKE WOULD BE A HIGHER BEST USE, I GUESS, OUT OF IT. I'M OKAY WITH IT.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE BASED ON STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.
I'LL SECOND IT. BE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE SOME DRAWINGS THERE OR SOME KIND OF ELEVATIONS THAT HE TURNED IN.
HE, HE WANTS TO DO HE WANTS TO DO THE.
YEAH. HE WANTS TO DO THE BUILDING.
HE WANTS TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE RESIDENTIAL TO, TO FIT IN WITH THE, WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THERE.
SO YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING THAT BRINGING HIS BUSINESS OVER HERE IS GOING TO MORE BRING TAXES AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO THE CITY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? PLEASE STEP UP TO THE PODIUM.
HI, MY NAME IS MAGGIE GONZALEZ, AND I AM ONE OF THE OWNERS THAT LIVES ACTUALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VACANT LOT.
AND OF COURSE SAID I WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS AGAINST THEM DEVELOPING OR MAKING IT COMMERCIAL USE. WE'RE ALL HOMESTEAD.
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN HOMESTEAD AROUND THERE.
AND IT WOULD JUST BE MORE SAFETY ISSUE AS FAR AS TRAFFIC.
EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE WIDENING THE ROAD, IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. SO THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE FOR IT NOT TO BE APPROVED AS COMMERCIAL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO STEP UP TO THE PODIUM? PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. HELLO.

ACROSS THE STREET. RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. YES, SIR. AND I'VE BEEN THERE ALMOST 30 YEARS. AND MAJORITY OF THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTIES, THERE ARE ALL RESIDENTIAL.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S THERE'S COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES ON WHAT IS IT, THE EAST SIDE THAT THEY'RE JUST DEVELOPING.
BUT THERE'S ONLY IF THIS GETS APPROVED.
THIS IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL ALL THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.
THERE'S A SUBDIVISION RIGHT BEHIND IT, YOU KNOW.
IS IT GOING TO LOOK GOOD? I DON'T THINK SO. AND THAT'S MY OPINION.
AND IT WOULDN'T LOOK GOOD EITHER, THOUGH, WITH THOSE IMPROVEMENT, LIKE MAGGIE WAS SAYING ON THE ROAD AND WIDEN IT AND THEN HAVING A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.
RIGHT, RIGHT IN BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AREA DOESN'T TO ME, IT DOESN'T LOOK TOO, TOO GOOD.
REMIND ME, IS IT IS IT STILL IN THAT AREA? IT'S STILL JUST TWO LANES.
NO SHOULDER WIDENING. THEY'RE WIDENING IT. THEY'RE WIDENING THAT ROAD AS WE SPEAK.
OKAY. THEY ARE MAKING IT BIGGER.
THEY'RE DOING IT FROM SUGAR ROAD TO BUSINESS 281.
WHAT'S IT TURNING INTO? ORDERLY LANE. IT'S FOUR, THREE, TWO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT'S ALL. YEAH, I APPRECIATE IT.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, I'LL GO AND CLOSE THE FLOOR COMMISSION. I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO DENY BASED ON STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS. SECOND, EVERYBODY IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

[00:15:03]
CORNERSTONE HEART HOSPITAL LOCATED AT 4505 SOUTH JACKSON ROAD.STAFF. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF SOUTH JACKSON ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 650FT SOUTH OF WEST TRENTON ROAD.
THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT IS BEING CONSIDERED HAS A TOTAL AREA OF 8.674 ACRES.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES.
THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY VACANT.
THE PROPERTY IS PRESENTLY ZONED COMMERCIAL GENERAL DISTRICT, WHICH IS INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE WIDE A WIDE RANGE OF COMMERCIAL USES.
NOW THE APPLICANT HAS NOW SUBMITTED A REPLAT FOR THE SUBDIVISION, WHICH WOULD PROPOSE DIVIDING IT INTO THREE LOTS.
SO WE WOULD HAVE THE TWO LOTS IN THE FRONT, AND THEN THIS LOT WOULD BE THE THE THIRD LOT IN THE REAR. ADJACENT ZONING IS COMMERCIAL GENERAL IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
WE HAVE A DRAINAGE DITCH TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY.
ADJACENT LAND USES CONSIST OF COMMERCIAL USES, AND THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THIS PROPERTY IS FOR GENERAL COMMERCIAL USES.
STAFF MAILED OUT NOTICES TO SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS, AND WE DID RECEIVE THREE COMMENTS AGAINST AFTER THE REPORT WAS PREPARED.
STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL USES TO MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES AND THE REZONING REQUEST FROM COMMERCIAL GENERAL DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT BASED ON ADJACENT ZONING, THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA AND THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. YOU WANT TO STEP UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE? SO GOOD AFTERNOON I'M VICTOR BORREGO.
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF OUR CLIENT, WHICH IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
DOCTOR RODRIGUEZ HAS WANTS TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY INTO 240 UNIT APARTMENT APARTMENT COMPLEXES. HE HAS ONE ALREADY DOWN THE STREET ON MCCAUL AND ALANA MIRABELLA APARTMENTS.
SO HE WANTS TO PRETTY MUCH DO THIS AS A PHASE TWO.
AND THEN THE TWO LOTS IN THE FRONT. HE WANTS TO KEEP THEM AS COMMERCIAL IN THE FUTURE, WANTS TO BUILD A HOTEL AND SOME RETAIL SPACE AS WELL.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I GUESS I WOULD, JUST A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
RIGHT. SO THIS AREA HERE IS PREDOMINANTLY COMMERCIAL.
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT REMAIN AS IS.
AND IT DOES GO AGAINST OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AS WELL THAT WE RECENTLY AMENDED LAST YEAR. SO THAT WOULD BE OUR, OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR, FOR DENIAL. HOWEVER, WE DO SEE SOME SINGLE FAMILY TO TO THE SOUTH.
BUT THIS SPECIFIC AREA WE DO HAVE COMMERCIAL GENERAL IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
THE RED IS COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
YES, THAT IS CORRECT. SO IN EFFECT, WE'RE PLOPPING DOWN.
WE'RE PLOPPING DOWN MULTIFAMILY.
AND RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF ALL THIS COMMERCIAL, IT'D BE SPOT ZONING AS WELL.
SPOT ZONING. YEAH. AND THERE WAS A LOT OF OPPOSITION FOR THIS.
THIS ITEM. OKAY. I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE FLOOR COMMISSION.
I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR STAFF ON ON YOUR MAP.
THIS MAP, IT SAYS IT'S RED, LIKE THERE'S A THIS PASEO DEL PRADO.
THAT'S A THAT'S A COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION.
THAT'S OKAY. WHO'S THE OWNER OF LOT TWO? THE OWNER OF LOT TWO. BECAUSE HE'S ON LOT ONE, THE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ON PAGE.
I THINK MR. BORREGO MAY MAY KNOW THAT WHO OWNS LOT NUMBER TWO? THE ONE DIRECTLY TO THE WEST.
I'M ASSUMING IT'S PROBABLY HIM, TOO.
RODRIGUEZ. WELL, IT'S GOING TO BE A PART OF THE HOSPITAL, SO THAT'S GOING TO BE HOSPITAL? YEAH, PART OF THE HOSPITAL.
THEY ARE DOING COMMERCIAL IN THE FRONT.
YES. JUST AND MULTIPLE MULTIFAMILY IN THE BACK.
THAT'S WHAT THEY PROPOSED. THAT'S THE. THAT WOULD BE THEIR INTENT. IT'S A GREAT AREA TO DO IT. YEAH. IT'S AWAY FROM HOUSES.
[00:20:01]
THERE'S IT'S ON A MAIN THOROUGHFARE ON JACKSON.AND THEN YOU HAVE THE BUFFER TO THE SOUTH, WHICH IS THAT DRAINAGE DITCH.
IS THAT WHAT IT IS? RIGHT? YES, THAT IS CORRECT. THE DRAIN DITCH. AND THEY GOT COMMERCIAL TO THE NORTH. YEAH.
AND TYPICALLY IN PLANNING IT'S USUALLY COMMERCIAL MULTIFAMILY MAYBE, AND THEN RESIDENTIAL. AND HERE IT WOULD BE COMMERCIAL, MULTIFAMILY AND COMMERCIAL BUILDING.
THE HOSPITAL WOULD BE COMMERCIAL.
THE HOSPITAL, THEY MAY USE IT FOR PARKING OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE USING FOR. STILL BE COMMERCIAL HOUSING FOR.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK FOR MULTIFAMILY HOSPITAL.
LOT 202 I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ONE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED.
WE GOT A MOTION. I DON'T HAVE A CALL IN ONE MINUTE.
YEAH, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT.
GOING AGAINST STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL. SECOND.
PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES 3 TO 1.

STAFF. YES. SO THE BOARD THIS IS A VARIANCE REQUEST TO THE CITY'S UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ON THE DEDICATION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS.
AND AS BEING A .9.92 OF AN ACRE TRACT BEING A PORTION OF LOT 12, BLOCK 62 AMENDED MAP, SANTA CRUZ GARDENS, SUBDIVISIONS, UNIT NUMBER TWO. THE APPLICANT, MR.
[Family Residential Uses and the Rezoning Request from Commercial, General (CG) District]
[to Residential Multi-Family (RM) District, 8.674-acres out of lots 10-17, Cornerstone Heart]
ARI GARCIA, IS HAS APPLIED ON BEHALF OF THE OWNERS TO REQUEST A VARIANCE ON THE AMOUNT THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE STREET TO BE PAVED.AND HE IS RECEPTIVE TO DEDICATING THE NECESSARY RIGHT OF WAY.
THE MPO HAS 100FT, SO THEY'RE WILLING TO DEDICATE 50.
FROM THE CENTER OF THE CURRENT STREET TO THEIR SIDE, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF.
OF LAND. BUT THEY WANT TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET RELIEF FROM HAVING TO PAY THE $15,328 OF STREET WIDENING FEES. PRIOR TO THE MEETING, I DID HAVE A MEETING WITH OUR CITY ENGINEER, AND HE WAS KIND OF. INCLINED TO APPROVING IT,
[A. Consider Variance Request to the City of Edinburg Unified Development Code, Article 5,]
APPROVING THE VARIANCE BECAUSE IT IS JUST FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.I GUESS OUR THOUGHTS WERE, HAD IT BEEN FOR MORE HOUSES TO TO CHARGE THEM THE FULL AMOUNT. BUT SINCE IT'S ONLY FOR ONE HOME.
HE SAYS THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD CONSIDER AMENDING THE CODES FOR.
IN CASES LIKE THIS TO ALLOW FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE LENIENCY ON BEHALF OF THE CITY.
BUT THAT'S WHAT VARIANCES ARE FOR.
BUT THAT'S WHAT THE VARIANCE IS FOR, CORRECT? MR. GARCIA IS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
AND THEN I THINK IT DEAD ENDS.
IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE. CORRECT.
LIKE IT'S. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO WIDEN IT FOR? WHAT? RIGHT. AND IT WILL BE SOME SOME TIME BEFORE THE CITY WIDENS THAT STREET.
YEAH. OKAY. I'LL GO TO OPEN THE FLOOR.
IF THERE'S ANYBODY WANTS TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE STEP UP TO THE PODIUM, SIR. GOOD EVENING.
I'M RAUL GARCIA, THE ENGINEER FOR THE MR..
THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BY HIS FATHER IN LAW.
AND WHAT THIS IS, IS, IS BASICALLY A FAMILY PARTITION.
SHOULD THIS HAVE BEEN INSIDE THE CITY? IT MEETS ALL THE STANDARDS, AND NO ESCROWS WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED. THE BROTHER LIVES ON ONE SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
THE FATHER LIVES ON THE OTHER.
SO THIS IS, LIKE I SAID, IT'S A FAMILY PARTITION.
$15,000 ESCROW WOULD REALLY HURT THEIR PLANS AS FAR AS FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS FOR ONE SINGLE FAMILY LOT.
ARE THEY GOING TO FILL IN THE POND OR WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH THE POND? THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD WHAT? THERE'S A POND ON IT.
A POND? YEAH, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
IT'S A ROOFTOP. THAT'S A ROOF.
YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE ALREADY. IT LOOKS LIKE A POND.
IT'S A POND. I'M JUST CURIOUS.
OH, WE HAVE IT MARKED. I THINK IT'S A HOLE. OH, SORRY. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE WRONG PROPERTY, GUYS. OH.
OKAY. SO NO POND. NO POND, NO POND.
THANK YOU SIR. I'LL GO IN AND CLOSE THE FLOOR.
[00:25:03]
COMMISSION. MAKE A MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.ITEM NINE B, WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THE VARIANCE REQUEST TO THE CITY OF EDINBURGH UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AS FOLLOWS.
ONE ARTICLE FIVE SUBDIVISION STANDARDS. SECTION 5.210 UTILITIES.
TWO ARTICLE THREE. SECTION 3.102-1 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED LOT AND BUILDING STANDARDS.
3.44 GROSS ACRE TRACT OF LAND, MORE OR LESS OUT OF, OUT OF, AND FORMING A PART OF.
40. TEXAS MEXICAN RAILWAY COMPANY SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 2900 NORTH MONMOUTH ROAD.
STAFF. MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY I DID RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM THE ENGINEER OF RECORD STATING THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE MEETING BECAUSE HE WAS STUCK IN MCALLEN, AND HE REQUESTED THAT THE ITEM BE TABLED AND BROUGHT BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING FOR CONSIDERATION. IF IT'S THE BOARD'S WISHES, NO. OKAY, THEN I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
OKAY. CAN I GET A MOTION TO TABLE THE ITEM? DO WE HAVE TO MOTION THAT? YES. OKAY. CAN I GET A MOTION? YOU'VE GOT A MOTION. I'LL MOTION.
[B. Consider Variance Requests to the City of Edinburg Unified Development Code as follows:]
I'LL SECOND. OKAY. ANYTHING IN FAVOR? PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. ARE YOU OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION TABLED. NINE B.ITEM NINE C WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THE VARIANCE REQUEST TO THE CITY OF EDINBURGH UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ARTICLE FIVE SUBDIVISION STANDARDS.
SECTION 5.102 APPLICABILITY BEING 0.310.310 OF ONE ACRE OF LAND SITUATED IN HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS AND BEING OUT OF LOT 26 KELLY FOREST SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 3710 SOUTH SUGAR ROAD, STEPH. YES. BOARD. THIS IS A VARIANCE REQUEST TO NOT HAVE TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY.
IT'S AT 3710 SOUTH SUGAR ROAD.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO HERE IS THAT WE SOMETIMES GIVE EITHER FAMILY PARTITION OR WE GIVE THEM A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE TO BE ABLE TO BUILD WITHOUT HAVING TO SUBDIVIDE.
HOWEVER, THIS PROPERTY DOESN'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR EITHER OF THOSE. IT WAS RECENTLY CUT UP. SO IT IS 0.3 OF AN ACRE, 0.3 TEN OF AN ACRE.
[C. Consider Variance Request to the City of Edinburg Unified Development Code, Article 5,]
BUT IT IT DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE BECAUSE IT WAS RECENTLY CUT UP AND AND DIVIDED IT AMONGST ANOTHER PROPERTY OWNER.EITHER TO THE NORTH OR TO THE SOUTH.
SO THEREFORE THE ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO CONSIDER A VARIANCE REQUEST.
IT IS FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. THIS ONE IS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF EDINBURG.
BUT WE'RE INCLINED TO RECOMMEND FOR DENIAL.
BUT IT'S UP TO THE BOARD WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO CONSIDER THE VARIANCE.
IS THAT BECAUSE IT'S AN UNSUBDIVIDED LOT? UNSUBDIVIDED LOT? IS IT BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF A LARGER PART OF A LARGER PIECE? AND THAT'S HOW THEY'RE COUNTING IT, RIGHT? NOW, IT DOES MEET THE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY LOT.
IT DOES HAVE THE WIDTH. IT DOES HAVE THE DEPTH.
I MEAN, BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PLOT ONE LOT.
SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO PLOT ONE LOT HOW IT WORKS.
YEAH. I THINK THE LOT WAS 75 BY 100.
IS THAT WHAT I READ? A LITTLE BIT DEEPER THAN 100.
A LITTLE BIT DEEPER. 180, 75 BY 180, RIGHT.
YEAH. AND I THINK ALSO LIKE FOR TITLE ISSUES AND TRANSFERRING PROPERTIES LATER.
IT'S MUCH EASIER IF IT'S PLATTED THAN A SUBDIVIDED LOT.
I GUESS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE GOT TO CONSIDER TOO IS THE COST. I THINK IN TALKING TO SOME OF OUR SOME OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS THE ENGINEERING FEES CAN BE UP THERE.
TWO GRAND, THREE GRAND, NO MORE.
WHERE'S WHERE'S AN ENGINEER? WHERE'S ARI? ARI? ARI WOULD DO IT, MARIO.
I MEAN, HOW MUCH WOULD MELVIN AND AND LIKE, A ONE LOT.
IT'S JUST FLAT ONE. IT'S IT'S JUST IT'S GOING TO VARY BY ENGINEER, BUT IT'S EXPENSIVE. IT'S A COUPLE GRAND. IT'S NOT MUCH. IT'S.
A LOT MORE THAN THAT. PROBABLY. IT'S EXPENSIVE. PROBABLY 10,000.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ANSWER, MAN.
THEY'LL YOU KNOW WHAT IT COSTS.
THAT'S NOT AN ITEM THAT WE CAN CONSIDER AT THIS TIME.
OKAY. GOT IT. OKAY. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? NOPE. OKAY, I'LL GO AND CLOSE THE FLOOR.
MAKE A MOTION TO DENY BASED ON STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO DENY A MOTION FOR DENIAL OF A SECOND. SECOND IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
