[VI.1. Z25-012 JAMIE J BYRD (9451 AND 9456 SAINT PATRICK PLACE)]

THE FUTURE LAND USE WOULD BE AMENDED FOR MIXED USE CENTER TO SINGLE FAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED. THE ZONING ALLOWS FOR A MAXIMUM OF TEN DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE ZONE CHANGE TO DEVELOP A 42 UNIT DETACHED HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ON A SINGLE LOT FOR THE 55 PLUS COMMUNITY. THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO PROVIDE PRIORITY TO VETERANS FOR LEASING. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES 42 UNITS OF DENSITY OF 7.08 PER ACRE THROUGH IT. IT WOULD NOT BE RESTRICTED TO THIS UNDER ZONING. THE NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ALLOWS A MAXIMUM DENSITY OF TEN UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH COULD ALLOW APPROXIMATELY 59 UNITS. THE CURRENT ZONING OF AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT WOULD ALLOW A DENSITY OF ONE UNIT PER ACRE ON APPROXIMATELY FIVE HOMES TO BE BUILT CURRENTLY. OF THE 22 NOTICES MAILED, NO NOTICES WERE RETURNED IN FAVOR AND 13 WERE RETURNED IN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST, BRINGING THE TOTAL PROTEST POPULATION TO 22.17%. AS WRITTEN, PROTEST EXCEEDS 20%, A FAVORABLE VOTE BY A THREE FOURTHS MAJORITY OF CITY COUNCIL

[00:05:01]

NEIGHBORS ATTENDED. THE OPPOSITION STATED CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC SAFETY AND DENSITY. THE EXISTING SUBDIVISION HAS 263 LOTS, WHICH REQUIRE THREE OR MORE ACCESS POINTS. HOWEVER, IT CURRENTLY ONLY HAS TWO ACCESS POINTS ACCESSIBLE TO THE SUBDIVISION, WHILE THE PROPERTY HAS FRONTAGE ON TOLL 49, ITS ONLY ACCESS IS THROUGH THE IRISH MEADOWS NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON INDIVIDUAL LOTS THAT LARGELY EXCEED 12,000FT■!S. THE APPLICANT HAS NOT. THE APPLICANT HAS NOT ADEQUATELY DEMONSTRATED HOW THE PROPOSED ZONING MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL. STAFF HAS PERFORMED A TECHNICAL REVIEW OF THE REQUESTS AND FINDS THAT IT'S GENERALLY INCONSISTENT WITH THE APPROVAL CRITERIA, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE REQUEST. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR CITY STAFF? IF NOT, IS THERE SOMEONE HERE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT? HEY, BOB. AFTERNOON. BOB BREEDLOVE WITH GRANITE CORPORATION REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY OWNER AND AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPER, THE DEVELOPERS HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL. WE DO HAVE A LAYOUT WE CAN SHOW YOU. AND THE INTRODUCE STEVE. HE'S GOING TO WE CAN'T HEAR THAT. SO SORRY. THAT'LL BE BETTER. I'LL TRY TO SPEAK A LITTLE LOUDER. I HAVE A WE HAVE A LAYOUT WE CAN SHOW YOU.

YOU MIGHT BE AWARE THERE'S A LOT GETS GOING HERE. WE'LL SHOW YOU. THERE'S A STREET STUBBED OUT.

SAINT PATRICK'S STUBS. STUBS OUT INTO THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE. WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON USING. WE ARE PLANNING ON USING. LIKE, AN ACCESS DRIVE THAT WAS BUILT WITH LOOP 49 THAT ACCESSES FROM THE SOUTH PART OF THE PROPERTY. WE'LL TRY TO SHOW YOU HERE. THERE WE GO. LET ME EXPLAIN IT.

THERE'LL BE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS TO DO SO. THANK YOU. ARE YOU PASSING THAT AROUND, BARBARA? I DIDN'T REALLY BRING IT UP. THINKING WE'D BE ABLE TO USE THE OVERHEAD. ONE OF THEM'S FLOATING AROUND. IT'S GOT AN AERIAL PHOTO WITH IT. A LITTLE CONFUSING, BUT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THE INTENT WAS TO TRY TO MINIMIZE THE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THERE ON THE AERIAL, THERE'S A THERE'S A CLEARING THERE TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY AND TO THE WEST. OKAY. WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE? SO.

WE CAN STAY RIGHT THERE. YEAH. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT THERE'S AN ACCESS DRIVE THERE THAT WE'RE GOING TO ACCESS THE PROPERTY FROM THE SOUTH. IT'S TRUE. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THAT'S WAS ONE OF THE BIG TOPICS OF DISCUSSION, ALONG WITH THE DRAINAGE WITH, WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WE HAD. BUT I HAVE THE DEVELOPER HERE. HE'D LIKE TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT, THE INTENT, AND THEN I CAN BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL HAVE. WE CAN BOTH ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL HAVE. GREAT. THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS STEVE GRIFFITH. I'M THE FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR OF A NONPROFIT CALLED LIFEWAY FOUNDATION. THE FOUNDATION WILL BE THE ONE THAT WILL BE ADMINISTRATING WHATEVER WE DEVELOP IN THIS PARTICULAR ARENA. WE HAVE A HEART FOR OLDER

[00:10:01]

TYLER HAS A GROWING OLDER COMMUNITY, GOT SOME HOUSING. YOU KNOW, EVERY EVERY CITY NEEDS HOUSING. I MEAN THAT'S JUST A GIVEN. THIS IS TEXAS. IT'S WE'RE GROWING. SO WE FELT LIKE THIS IS A THIS WOULD BE A GOOD SPOT. WE LOVE WE LOVE NATURE. WE LOVE THE TREES. WE LOVE THE PARK. THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT TO THE NORTH OF THERE. BUT ONE THING TO REALLY KIND OF KEEP IN MIND IS WE'RE NOT PROFIT DRIVEN. THIS IS MORE ABOUT PEOPLE. SO WE'RE NOT TRYING TO CRAM. I MEAN, WE'RE WAY WE'RE PRETTY FAR BELOW THE DENSITY THAT IN OUR ALLOWS. AND ONE REASON WE WANT TO DO THAT IS BECAUSE WE LIKE THE TREES, WE LIKE WE LIKE THE SPACE, WE LIKE THE OPEN SPACES. IT WOULD BE THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVE. YOU KNOW, YOU LIKE YOUR YARD, YOU LIKE YOUR TREES. WELL, YOU SENIOR CITIZENS LIKE THAT TOO. SO THIS IS THIS IS ONE REASON WE REALLY LIKE THIS SPOT. YOU KNOW, ONE THING I THINK THAT DOES NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP IS, YOU KNOW, THIS LAND IS GOING TO SELL. IT'S IN A PRIME LOCATION. WE FEEL MOST LIKELY IT WILL IF WE DON'T GET IT, IT WILL BE BOUGHT BY A DEVELOPER AND IT'LL PROBABLY GO WITH THEY'LL GO WITH OUR, OUR ONE A THAT'S WHAT THEY'LL TRY TO GET. AND SO WE JUST DID THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS OKAY. WHAT IF WE TOOK 42 OF OUR COTTAGES WHICH ARE GOING TO BE SINGLE OCCUPANCY SENIOR CITIZENS. AND COMPARING THAT TO IF THIS WAS R-1A WITH 20 HOMES, OKAY, YOUR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES HAVE AN AVERAGE OF 2.5 TO 3.5. RESIDENTS PER HOME. AND THEN AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE I THINK IT WAS 2.2 CARS WHERE OURS IS GOING TO BE 0.7 THE SENIOR CITIZENS. SO NOT EVERYBODY HAS A CAR. WE'RE GOING TO ALSO HAVE A VAN WHICH WILL HAVE TWO ROUTES A WEEK TO HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC. ANYWAY, USING USING THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS, WHICH IS MY UNDERSTANDING, IS WHAT MOST FOLKS GO THROUGH. COMPARING THE TWO OPTIONS. OUR LITTLE OUR LITTLE 42 COTTAGE WOULD ACTUALLY BE 35 TO 38% LESS TRAFFIC THAN IF IT WAS AN R-1A, WHICH WITH 20 HOMES. SO IT'S ACTUALLY A LOWER IMPACT. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS WITH US BEING THERE WAS THE IMPACT ON THE TRAFFIC. AND I GET IT. I WOULD BE CONCERNED TOO. SO I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE THE BEST OPTION FOR THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY OUTSIDE OF SOMEONE JUST BUYING IT TO PUT A PARK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHICH I THINK WE ALL KNOW. THAT'S VERY UNLIKELY. SOMEONE ASKED ME AT THE MEETING LAST TIME, GIVE ME A REASON FOR US TO GO FOR THIS. WHAT WAS WHAT'S GOING TO HELP ME? WHAT'S GOING TO IMPROVE MY PROPERTY VALUE? AND I THINK WE'VE ALL HAD THAT NEIGHBOR

[00:15:04]

SENIOR CITIZENS AREN'T. AREN'T YOU ROCKETS TYPE. SO ONE OF OUR BOARD DIRECTORS IS GOING TO BE LIVING ON THE PROPERTY. IT'S GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN IT. ANYWAY. I, I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE AN OPEN MIND. I HOPE THE BOARD, THE RNC, WILL HAVE AN OPEN MIND TOWARDS THIS. SO THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY. AND AGAIN, STEVE GRIFFITH. GRIFFITH. YES, SIR. ANY ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. GRIFFITH? THANK THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE HERE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BREEDLOVE? I DO HAVE A QUESTION. THE ABANDONED ROAD THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE AERIAL.

YES, SIR. SO IF YOU FOLLOW IT EAST, DOES IT DEAD END THERE OR DOES IT CONNECT SOMEWHERE? IT IS A DEAD END. THEY CALL IT THE ROAD TO NOWHERE. SO. ALL RIGHT, AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE, MR. BREEDLOVE. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD OR ANSWER? ANY QUESTIONS THAT COME UP ALONG THE WAY? SURE, SURE. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, AND THE FIRST NAME I SEE IS AMANDA ADDISON. MISS ADDISON, IF YOU'D STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. HI. MY NAME IS AMANDA ADDISON. I LIVE AT 9358 GAELIC HILLS DRIVE. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US SOME TIME TO SPEAK. I LIVE ON THE STREET THAT IS GOING TO BE USED TO GET TO THE ROAD TO NOWHERE. I HAVE LIVED THERE FOR 17 YEARS. MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS ROAD TO NOWHERE IS THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY BUILT WHEN TOLL 49 CUT OFF THE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY THERE, SO IT WASN'T REALLY EVER INTENDED ON BEING LIKE A ROAD FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, USED IN AND OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT WAS JUST A ROAD SO THAT PEOPLE WHO HAD PROPERTY BACK THERE HAD ACCESS TO IT. AFTER TOLL 49 CAME THROUGH AND KIND OF CAPPED THAT OFF FROM THEM. I'M COMPLETELY AGAINST THIS. I HAVE CHILDREN, I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. OUR ROADS ARE VERY NARROW. THE INCREASED TRAFFIC COMING IN AND OUT. SOME OTHER PEOPLE HERE WILL HAVE SOME BETTER POINTS ON EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING. I WILL APPLAUD MR. GRIFFITH. I THINK THAT HIS PLAN SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL. I'M NOT GOING TO LIE AND SAY THAT I AM AGAINST VETERANS OR SENIORS. I THINK THOSE THAT THIS COMMUNITY SOUNDS GREAT. I JUST THINK THAT IT'S PROBABLY NOT THE BEST LOCATION FOR IT IN TYLER. I UNDERSTAND THERE'S LAND THERE, AND IT IS CLOSE TO ALL OF THE THINGS THAT HE WANTS. BUT IRISH MEADOWS ALREADY HAS AN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THIS WOULD NOT GO WITH THE CONTINUITY OF WHAT WE HAVE. I'M. I THINK THAT IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE ZONE, CHANGE IT TO AN R-1A LIKE WHAT WOULD MATCH THE REST OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THE NICE FLOW THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I UNDERSTAND THERE'S HE JUST DID THE ANALYSIS ON THE TRAFFIC AND ALL OF THAT, BUT THERE'S OTHER ISSUES WITH USING MY ROAD AT THE VERY BACK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU KNOW, THERE'S DUBLIN, WE DON'T HAVE TWO BUT TWO ENTRANCES IN AND OUT OF IRISH MEADOWS. THEY'RE ALREADY VERY CONGESTED, GETTING IN AND OUT SAFELY OFF OF 69. I'M SURE IF YOU'VE EVER DRIVEN OUT THERE, IT'S LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE AUDUBON AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU GOT TO GET OVER AND WHIP INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNOW EVERYBODY HERE IS NOT GOING TO SPEAK. SOME ARE JUST HERE IN SUPPORT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF YOU ARE AGAINST IT AND YOU LIVE IN IRISH MEADOWS, WOULD YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE AGAINST THE ZONE CHANGE? THANK YOU. SO A LOT OF US ARE AGAINST IT. I WILL SAY ONE GOOD THING THAT I HAVE NOTICED FROM THIS IS THAT I'VE GOTTEN A CHANCE TO MEET MY NEIGHBORS AND, LIKE, REALLY MAKE OUR OWN COMMUNITY STRONGER FROM THIS ARISING AND US HAVING A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT WE WANT FOR IT. AS PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE AND HAVE LIVED THERE FOR 15 TO 30 YEARS, SOME PEOPLE. AND SO I JUST KNOW THAT WE'RE JUST AGAINST IT. WITH THE TRAFFIC COMING IN AND OUT, THE ROADS ARE NARROW, WE HAVE NO CURBS. I HAVE THE KIDS LIKE TO RIDE BIKES. THE ROADS ARE NOT GOOD CONDITION. IT'S TAR WITH ROCKS. THERE'S ROCKS EVERYWHERE. EVERY DAY. THOSE STREET SWEEP IT, BUT IT'S THE SAME. WE HAVE SINKHOLES, WE HAVE HUGE POTHOLES. THE ROAD HAS ERODED FROM THE EDGE. YOU CANNOT FIT TWO CARS DOWN IT. YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF INTO SOMEONE'S YARD. TRASH DAYS, A WHOLE NOTHER ISSUE. SO I JUST THINK THAT IF ANY KIND OF INCREASE, IT WOULD JUST NOT BE GOOD FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I THINK THAT IS ALL I HAVE. I THINK IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE ZONING, THAT'S THAT'S FINE TO CHANGE IT, BUT TO JUST CHANGE IT SO THAT THE CONTINUITY GOES WITH WHAT TYLER HAS PLANNED FOR IRISH MEADOWS, WHICH IS AN R-1, A. THANK YOU. THANK THANK YOU FOR

[00:20:05]

YES, YES. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS LANCASTER AND I. STREET IS 523 LIMERICK. SO VERY CLOSE TO GAELIC. THIS NARROW STREET WHERE THE HEAVY TRAFFIC SEEMS TO BE GOING THROUGH. I HAVE BEEN IN IRISH MEADOWS FOR 25 YEARS. THIS IS MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME. WE HAVE BUILT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WITH RESILIENCE, FRIENDSHIP AND COMMUNITY MENTALITY. BECAUSE OF MY TIME AND STRENGTH. ONLY FIVE MINUTES, I CANNOT SHARE THE MULTIPLE STORIES THAT SUPPORT THIS MENTALITY OF COMMUNITY.

THIS PROJECT THAT FROM THE BEGINNING HAS BEEN STAINED WITH SECRECY AND LACK OF CLARITY.

ONLY A FEW NEIGHBORS WERE INFORMED DIRECTLY, IS CAUSING AN UNWANTED STRESS AND TAKING AN EMOTIONAL TOLL AMONGST THE RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY TO THE ELDERLY. THE RETIREES LIKE ME AND YOUNG FAMILIES WITH KIDS PLAYING IN THE STREETS. THE ONLY POSITIVE SIDE OF THIS SITUATION IS THAT THE PANDORA BOX HAS BEEN OPENED. THERE HAS BEEN SOME NEGLECT OF THE ON THE PART OF THE CITY. LAST MEETING I HEARD ABOUT SEWAGE AND FLOODING PROBLEMS AND THE FAMOUS SIDEWALKS THAT WERE NEVER BUILT. WE THOUGHT THAT AT ONE POINT WE WERE WHEN WE WERE GOING TO BE PART OF THE CITY, THE SIDEWALKS WERE GOING TO BE BUILT. THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THE MAIN ISSUE IS TRAFFIC. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. OUR STREETS ARE DRIVEWAYS NARROW AND AGAIN WITHOUT SIDEWALKS, WITH MORE FAMILIES HAVING TEENAGERS WHO HAVE STARTED DRIVING, IT HAS INCREASED THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC. WALKING LIKE ME, I'M A WALKER WITH MY HUSBAND. WALKING HAS BECOME CHALLENGING AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS. THE ACCESS TO THIS SPACE WILL BE THROUGH DUBLIN, THE MAIN ARTERY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS ALSO VERY NARROW AND GOING TO BE VERY REDUNDANT, SAYING NARROW. IN GAELIC IS AN WHICH IS THAT STREET THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. IT'S AN EXTREMELY NARROW STREET WHERE YOU HAVE A GREAT NUMBER OF KIDS WHO PLAY OUTSIDE. THIS IS THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THIS NEW PROJECT. SO IN. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN IN IRISH MEADOWS. I WILL. IF NOT, I WILL INVITE YOU TO COME SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU WILL SEE THAT WHEN TWO CARS ARE AT THE SAME TIME ON THE STREETS AND THE MAIN STREET, AND THIS IS THE MAIN STREET, AND YOU ARE WALKING NUMBER ONE, THE CARS HAVE TO STOP AND YOU HAVE TO GET INTO THE FRONT YARDS OF THE NEIGHBORS, BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A PLACE TO SIMPLY WALK. SO THINKING ABOUT THIS INCREMENT ON THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC, LIKE I SAID, IS CAUSING A LOT OF STRES. AND THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS STORY? IF NOT, AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME HERE. DARLENE SKATES IS SKATES. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS DARLENE SKATES. I LIVE AT 416 BRIGANTINE STREET AND I'VE LIVED THERE SINCE APPROXIMATELY 1985. SO I'M ONE OF THE OLD TIMERS THAT FROM THERE, AND I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU VOTE NO AGAINST THIS ZONING REQUEST BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS IS IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE HAVE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND IT WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR PROPERTY VALUE. AND ALSO THE INCREASED TRAFFIC ON THE NARROW STREETS.

AND OUR STREETS ARE IN VERY BAD, POOR CONDITION. PROBABLY THE WORST I'VE SEEN IN SINCE I'VE BEEN THERE. SINCE I'VE LIVED THERE. WE I'M A WALKER IN THE MORNING, AND I'M SEEING A LOT OF

[00:25:02]

THEY FILL IN THE POTHOLES AND THEY LAY A LITTLE ASPHALT. BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT. WE'RE ALSO SOME OF THE FEW CITY OF TYLER RESIDENTS THAT STILL HAVE TALL TIMBERS. AS OUR SEWAGE COMPANY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE PAY MORE FOR OUR SEWAGE THAN MOST PEOPLE IN TYLER. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? BACK THEN, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WAS SURROUNDED BY WOODS. WE WERE NOT NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK THAT THAT WOULD LAST FOREVER. SOON FAULKNER PARK WAS DEVELOPED. WHAT A BLESSING TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CITY OF TYLER. THEN CAME LOOP 49. MAYBE A BLESSING TO THE MAJORITY OF THE CITIZENS OF TYLER, BUT NOT TO THE RESIDENTS OF IRISH MEADOWS. SOON OUR PEACEFUL SETTING WAS REPLACED BY THE CONSTANT NOISE OF BIG TRUCKS BARRELING DOWN 49. IT'S MUCH WORSE IN THE WINTER WHEN NO LEAVES ON THE TREES TO INSULATE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK TYLER, THIS BOARD IN PARTICULAR HAS DONE A GOOD JOB IN HELPING DEVELOP THE CITY. I CAN GO ACROSS THE STREET IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES, SEE A MOVIE, GRAB DINNER AND HIT THE GROCERY STORE. MOST EVERYTHING WE NEED IS RIGHT THERE. SO WHY AM I OPPOSED TO THIS ZONING CHANGE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT? IT'S VERY SIMPLE. WE CANNOT ABSORB THAT AMOUNT OF NEW TRAFFIC. OUR ROADS ARE UNSAFE AS IT IS. OUR STREETS ARE SMALL TO PASS BY ONCOMING VEHICLES, BOTH DRIVERS HAVE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER TO PASS EACH OTHER. IF YOU'RE OUT FOR A WALK OR RUN, YOU HAVE TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO BE SAFE. WHEN CARS APPROACH. WE DON'T HAVE SIDEWALKS. KIDS HAVE TO RIDE THEIR BIKES IN THE STREET. WE CANNOT ABSORB 42 NEW HOMES ON LESS THAN SIX ACRES.

THE PROPOSAL IS FOR 55 AND UP DEMOGRAPHIC. WITH THAT BRINGS AN INCREASE IN HOME HEALTH CARE,

[00:30:04]

AS A VETERAN MYSELF, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE HOUSING OF VETERANS IS NOT AN ANGLE THAT IS BEING EXPLOITED HERE. IF THE DEVELOPER TRULY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT CREATING A UTOPIAN TYPE SETTING FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE IN, AS HE DESCRIBES IN HIS BROCHURE FROM THE FRONT PORCH COTTAGE VILLAGE, NO WORRIES LIVING, DON'T YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE CANVASED THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TALKED TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD? HE WAS LOOKING TO DISRUPT AND CHANGE FOREVER. WE LIVE ON THE CORNER OF DUBLIN AND GAELIC HILLS DRIVE. THIS WILL AFFECT OUR LIVING AS MUCH AS ANYONE. I WILL TELL YOU WHAT HE DID. HE ONLY PASSED OUT BROCHURES TO THOSE THAT LIVED WITHIN 200FT OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. I'M SURE THAT'S THE LAW. HE ALSO DID IT ALMOST 30 DAYS EXACTLY BEFORE THE DATE OF THIS MEETING. AGAIN, MEETING THE BARE MINIMUM LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TRAFFIC SURVEY. HE SAID THEY CONDUCTED. YOU MEAN THE YOUNG KID THAT SAT IN HIS CAR AT THE END OF THE DEAD END ROAD COUNTING CARS? THAT'S THE TRAFFIC SURVEY. AS SOON AS MY WIFE AND I HEARD ABOUT THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, WE WENT TO WORK. MULTIPLE NEIGHBORS GOT TOGETHER AND WENT DOOR TO DOOR, MAKING EVERYONE AWARE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

SURPRISE! THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT KNEW WERE IN THE 200 FOOT ZONE. TOGETHER WE COLLECTED OVER 160 SIGNATURES FROM RESIDENTS OPPOSING THIS ZONE. CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT. WE FLOODED OUR CITY COUNCILMAN WITH PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS. THIS MANIFESTED INTO A TOWN HALL MEETING LAST WEEK, WHICH WAS WELL ATTENDED BY OUR NEIGHBORS, THE CITY OF TYLER, REPRESENTATIVES, THE DEVELOPERS, AND OUR CITY COUNCILMAN. THE DEVELOPERS WILL TELL YOU THEY'VE NEVER DEVELOPED ANYTHING LIKE THIS, NOR IS THERE ANYWHERE ELSE LIKE IT IN THE COUNTRY. IT'S A VISION THEY HAVE. WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO BE THEIR TEST SUBJECT. WE KNOW CHANGES ARE COMING OUR WAY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH OF CUMBERLAND ROAD AND EAST OF FAULKNER PARK. WE KNOW IT. WE KNOW IT'S COMING. THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. AND HOPEFULLY THIS BOARD WILL MAKE SURE IT'S DONE RIGHT. WE ARE ASKING YOU TO SAY NO THIS AFTERNOON TO THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE ASKING YOU TO SUPPORT YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS WHO HAVE PAID TAXES HERE FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE CALLED TYLER HOME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS GENTLEMAN? SIR? DICKIE WAS DICKIE. I'M SUSAN DICKIE. I LIVE AT 9374 GAELIC HILLS. I'VE BEEN THERE 23 YEARS. THAT STREET AND THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS A VERY WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM TODAY THAT EVERYBODY IS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. AND SO IF YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THE FULL EFFECT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD NOW, A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.

DRAINAGE HAS NOT WHEN IT RAINS, BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORHOOD SLOPES DOWN OUR HOUSE AND A LOT OF OTHER HOUSES. THERE'S A LAKE IN THE BACKYARD, AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DRAINS PROPERLY, OR YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE WATER IN YOUR HOUSE. WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY THOSE TREES, WHICH

[00:35:06]

BUT HERE WE ARE KNOCKING DOWN THE TREES, THE VERY THING THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TO OUR CITY FOR TOURISM. THAT'S ONE CONCERN. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THE STUDENTS THAT LIVE ON OUR STREET. IT'S NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR THEM TO PLAY, AND I'M SURE ALL OF Y'ALL GREW UP LIVING IN THE STREETS, PLAYING WITH YOUR BICYCLES. IT'S VERY UNSAFE. YOU HAVE TO BE SO PROACTIVE. YOU KNOW, THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DESERVES A LITTLE BIT OF INVESTMENT. AND I'M NOT OPPOSED TO HIS POCKET COMMUNITY. I NEED TO STATE THAT. IN FACT, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA, AND I WOULD LIKE TO INVEST IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'M JUST NOT SOLD RIGHT NOW THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE. NOW, THAT BEING SAID, I'M ALSO VERY CONCERNED, LIKE HE SAYS, THAT IF HE DOESN'T GET IT, SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING TO COME IN AND DESTROY WHAT WE'VE BUILT AS A COMMUNITY. I'M JUST GOING TO ASK YOU, PLEASE CONSIDER OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. CONSIDER THE PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE IN TYLER AND WHO WORK FOR THE GOOD OF YOUR CHILDREN, THE GOOD OF YOUR ELDERLY PARENTS. WE ALL WORK IN HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS. WE NEED YOU ALL TO INVEST IN US BECAUSE WE INVEST IN Y'ALL. AND SO WHEN I SAY THAT, I MEAN, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE SIDEWALKS THAT WERE PROMISED. WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE DRAINAGE WORK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. DONE. IF YOU COME TO MY HOUSE ON A DAY THAT RAINS HEAVILY, THERE IS A LAKE THAT RUNS STRAIGHT THROUGH BETWEEN MY HOUSE AND HERS, AND I'VE GOT VIDEO. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, IT'S KNEE HIGH AND THERE'S A CURRENT AND CHILDREN CAN GET SWEPT UP IN THAT. IF THEY'RE NOT BEING WATCHED, IT'S NOT SAFE. AND I FEEL LIKE, WELL, LET ME JUST PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY. OUR HOUSE WENT DOWN IN PROPERTY VALUE BY 2 OR $3000 THIS YEAR, BUT OUR PROPERTY WENT UP $30,000, $30,000. THAT'S ALMOST WHAT I MAKE IN A YEAR. SO I'M SUPPOSED TO PAY TAXES, BUT I'M NOT GETTING A RETURN ON MY INVESTMENT. I NEED THE CITY TO HEAR US. I NEED THE CITY TO INVEST IN US BECAUSE WE WORK REALLY HARD TO HELP THIS CITY.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. HIS COMMUNITY, I THINK, COULD BE A GREAT THING, I REALLY DO. AND I WOULD EVEN BE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER IN A COMMUNITY LIKE THAT. I JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE

[00:40:04]

THEY CRUISE THROUGH AND I STOP THEM AND SAY, WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOING? NOTHING. WE'RE JUST LOOKING. WE NEVER COME OVER HERE. SO. HEY, THERE YOU GO. I'M JUST SEEING MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE TINY, AND I'M GUESSING THEY'LL BE WELL BUILT FOR 3 OR 4 YEARS. AND WITH THE TEXAS WEATHER AND THE TYPHOONS THAT WE HAVE COMING THROUGH HERE LATELY, THEY'RE GOING TO DETERIORATE QUICKLY. AND AS YOU KNOW WELL, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY THERE, BUT WHERE'S THE MONEY GOING TO COME FROM WHEN THEY NEED TO BE REHABBED? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE THE FOUNDATION HIS OR MAYBE HE PASSES AWAY THE LLC THAT THAT'S GOING TO BELONG TO GOES KAPUT AND IT GETS SOLD OFF. AND ANYBODY'S WELCOME. THOSE ARE YOU KNOW, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN BROUGHT UP BEFORE. SO I WANTED TO BRING THAT UP. THE SECOND THING WAS IF YOU WANT TO DO IT AND I GET ALL THESE COMPLAINTS, YOU CUT THAT ROAD ALL THE WAY OUT TO 69 AND YOU BUILD A WALL AROUND YOUR LITTLE DEVELOPMENT GATED COMMUNITY. WE HAVE THOSE ALL OVER TOWN. ALL OVER TOWN THAT POP UP THIS DAY. YOU DON'T COME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU COME OFF THE 69, YOU GO BACK UP 69. YOU'RE PROBABLY FATHER THINKS I'M DONE. THANK YOU. AND ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS GENTLEMAN? ARE ARE THERE ANY OTHER FORMER A STUDENTS OF MINE? YOU WANT TO SPEAK? IF NOT, YES, SIR. YES. COME TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE. COME TO THE MICROPHONE. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE. PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE AND WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? PLEASE COME FROM THE MICROPHONE.

WE HAVE NO IDEA, YOU KNOW, MR. BREEDLOVE, OR ARE YOU PART OF THE BREEDLOVE FROM. TYLER? I AM I'M NOT PART OF THE FAMILY. HOW ABOUT YOU COME UP HERE NOW? DO YOU LIVE HERE? I LIVE HERE, DO YOU COME FROM WEST VIRGINIA? I UNDERSTAND THIS COMPANY IS FROM WEST VIRGINIA. IT'S DOING IT. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THIS LAND. OKAY. WHAT DOES ■HE HAVE TO DO WITH. S

[00:45:06]

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER PERSON WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. I WROTE IT OUT, SO I WON'T TAKE LONG. SOME OF THIS MAY BE REITERATED. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS LINDA HARVEY. MYSELF, HUSBAND SAM AND OUR FOUR CHILDREN LIVE AT 9379 SAINT PATRICK PLACE. OUR PROPERTY IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION. WE PURCHASED THIS HOUSE IN JULY OF 2024, NOT 30 YEARS AGO, LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE HERE, AND IT WAS AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY. THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS WE CHOSE THIS HOME. BEING ON A DEAD END WITH WOODS BESIDE US TO CREATE A SMALL SOUND BARRIER IN THE SUMMER FROM THE TOLL ROAD AND GIVE A MORE PRIVATE FEELING WAS DEFINITELY AT THE TOP. WE LOVE THE CHARM OF IRISH MEADOWS, WELL APPOINTED, SINGLE FAMILY BRICK HOMES THAT ARE ALL UP TO CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD CODE. NICE SIZED YARDS, CONVENIENTLY LOCATED AND FAMILY ORIENTED. THE MONTHS WE SPENT IN OUR HOME, WE HAVE GROWN TO LOVE IT AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD MORE AND MORE. WE DID KNOW ABOUT THE VACANT LOT NEXT TO US AND EVEN WENT TO SCOPE IT OUT. WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN, WE KNEW THERE WAS A CHANCE A DEVELOPER WOULD PURCHASE THE LAND. WE IMAGINE HOMES THAT MIMIC THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AS THE STREET IS PART OF OUR SUBDIVISION, SINGLE FAMILY BRICK HOMES, MAYBE A HANDFUL. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID WE IMAGINE 42 TINY HOUSES AS OUR NEIGHBORS. WE WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED OUR HOME LESS THAN A YEAR AGO IF WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVE AND SAW DOZENS OF TINY HOMES BESIDE US. THIS WAS A HUGE INVESTMENT FOR US. DURING A TIME WHEN THE HOUSING MARKET IS OUT OF THIS WORLD AND PROPERTY VALUE KEEPS GOING UP AND UP, IT ISN'T RIGHT FOR OUR INVESTMENT TO POTENTIALLY DEPRECIATE IN VALUE, AND US COME OUT AT A LOSS BECAUSE OF A ZONING CHANGE THAT DOESN'T MEET THE SAME STANDARDS AS THE REST OF IRISH MEADOWS. I KNOW IT'S BEEN MENTIONED THAT DRAINAGE WILL BE AN ISSUE, AND I CAN ALSO CONFIRM THAT IT ALREADY IS AS WE DEAL WITH FLOODING IN OUR YARD AND SHOP EVERY TIME IT RAINS. ADDING 42 NEW RESIDENTS COULD MAGNIFY THAT ISSUE IMMENSELY. IT WOULD ALSO INCREASE TRAFFIC TRAFFIC TREMENDOUSLY ON DUBLIN AND GAELIC HILLS, ALREADY BUSY STREETS, NOT JUST FROM THE RESIDENTS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS, BUT FROM THE CREWS THAT WILL COME TO CLEAR THE DENSELY WOODED PROPERTY, DUMP TRUCKS, TRACTORS AND RIGS, ALL OF WHICH WILL DO A SERIOUS NUMBER ON THE ASPHALT ROADS. YET ANOTHER THING THAT COULD DIMINISH THE LOOK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY VALUE. WHAT HAPPENS IF ALL THE SPACES CAN'T BE FILLED OR THE NONPROFIT GOES UNDER OR IT'S POORLY MANAGED? WHAT THEN? DOES IT TURN INTO HUD HOUSING? WHAT DOES THAT DO TO OUR PROPERTY VALUE? I ASK EACH ONE OF YOU, WOULD YOU BUY A HOME NEXT TO A TINY HOUSE PARK, AN RV PARK, A MOBILE HOME PARK? IF YOUR ANSWER IS NO, THEN I IMPLORE YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER THE CURRENT RESIDENTS AND HOW THIS PROJECT COULD AFFECT EACH OF OUR LIVES AND OUR INVESTMENTS INTO IRISH MEADOW. WELL, I BELIEVE THE MISSION IS A WORTHY ONE. MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND ARE ADAMANTLY, ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO THE IDEA OF IT BEING AN IRISH MEADOWS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS WITNESS? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE. YES, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING. GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M JOLEEN OSTER AND I LIVE AT 9353 GAELIC HILLS DRIVE AND ALL I EVERYTHING WAS PRETTY MUCH SAID SO ON WOULD BE REDUNDANT. SO I WON'T READ MINE.

[00:50:04]

SO I'M GOING TO GIVE THE APPLICANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THIS COMMISSION HAS MADE ANY DECISION. WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE IF THEY'D LIKE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.

WE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE HAD ANOTHER WAY OUT TO BROADWAY, GOING STRAIGHT EAST, BUT WE COULD NEVER GET TEXDOT TO ALLOW THAT ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINT. ALTHOUGH WE NEVER PURSUED IT, WE JUST KNEW IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. AND WE DON'T OWN THE LAND BETWEEN US AND 69, SO THE ONLY ACCESS IS THROUGH THIS LOCATION THAT WE HAVE. WE CHOSE NOT TO USE SAINT PATRICK'S. I BELIEVE SAINT PATRICK'S, JUST TO TRY TO MINIMIZE AND GO AROUND THE BACKSIDE, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT ANGST THAT WE'VE CAUSED WITH EVERYBODY. AND AGAIN, WE APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. WE WE'RE OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO BUILD A NEIGHBORHOOD WITHIN A NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. SO WHAT WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME DRAINAGE PROBLEMS OUT THERE. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE HANDLING THE DRAINAGE THAT WE THAT WE GENERATE, HANDLING IT THE WAY WE'RE SUPPOSED TO. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX ALL THE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS THAT ARE OUT THERE, AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONES, BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE BY THE BARDIC STREETS NOT HAVING CURB AND GUTTER AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AND ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BREEDLOVE. BOB, THANKS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE. YEAH. YOU KNOW. YES, SIR. THIS IS ONE PERSON. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE.

IF YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS LISA MCCLURE, AND I LIVE AT 415 BLARNEY STONE. AND I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 20 YEARS. THIS TIME AROUND. I LIVED THERE FROM 1984 TO 1990 WITH MY PARENTS BEFORE I GOT MARRIED, AND WE BOUGHT A HOUSE THERE. I'M GOING TO READ A STATEMENT FROM MY NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES AT 414 BLARNEY STONE. HER NAME IS JENNIFER SUSAN. I'M WRITING TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE SCHEDULING OF TODAY'S MEETING FOR THE PLANNING AND REZONING OF OUR SUBDIVISION. MOST FAMILIES IN THIS AREA ARE WORKING MIDDLE CLASS AND UNABLE TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE MEETING DURING BUSINESS HOURS. ADDITIONALLY, MANY OF US WERE NOT AWARE OF THE MEETING THAT WAS HELD AT THE POLICE STATION FOLLOWING BECAUSE THE CITY FELT WAS FOLLOWING THE NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF ONLY NOTIFYING THE RESIDENTS WITHIN 200FT OF THE PROPOSED REZONING. I'VE LIVED IN IRISH MEADOW SINCE 1983. MY HOME WAS ONE OF THE FIRST FIVE BUILT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN WE WERE ANNEXED, WE WERE PROMISED MANY CHANGES THAT HAVE YET TO HAPPEN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CITY STREET LIGHTS FOR SAFETY, CITY SEWER, UPGRADED ROADS, ADDITION OF CURBS AND DRAINAGE SUPPORT TO ADD ANOTHER HOUSING ADDITION ADJACENT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. UTILIZING THE ACCESS OF OUR ENTRY ROADS WILL ONLY FURTHER DISINTEGRATE OUR STREETS AND RESULT IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC IN THE AREA THAT OUR CHILDREN OCCUPY. NEXT, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS SOME VERY TENDER TOPICS COMMUNITY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN, AND THE BALANCE OF VETERAN CARE. WHILE I 100% FEEL THE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR VETERANS IN ANY WAY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO, I DO NOT SUPPORT SACRIFICING THE SAFETY OF OUR YOUTH BY PLACING A GROUP OF VETERANS AND LOW INCOME HOUSING IN OUR IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PORTIONS OF THE POPULATION OF THESE MEN AND WOMEN STATISTICALLY HAVE SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, SUBSTANTIAL CRIMINAL HISTORY, UNTREATED TRAUMA, AND SUFFER WITH DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTION. I BELIEVE, FIRST AND FOREMOST, THAT THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF THE EXISTING FAMILIES AND OUR CHILDREN AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A PRIORITY.

[00:55:05]

THAT WAS MY WIFE. SHE WAS READING FOR OUR NEIGHBORS. I'M SPEAKING FOR US. BUT BASICALLY WE'VE LIVED THERE FOR 20 YEARS, AND Y'ALL ANNEXED US ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER WE MOVED THERE. I WON'T REPEAT EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID, BUT OUR THE ROADS, DRAINAGE, ALL OF THAT HAS GOT TO BE FIXED AND WE DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS UNTIL YOU GET OUR NEIGHBORHOOD UP TO PAR. IT HAS TO BE FIXED. THEY MADE A VERY, VERY POOR ATTEMPT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO TO FIX THE ROADS, AND IT DIDN'T WORK. SO I THINK AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, OUR COMMUNITY HAS SPOKEN AND WE HAVE SAID NO TO THIS. SO YOU NEED TO REFLECT THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T I DON'T I DON'T LIKE JUST BRING THESE HEARINGS TO A CLOSE. BUT I DO FEEL LIKE AT THIS POINT WE'VE HAD A FULL AND FRANK DISCUSSION OF, OF THE ISSUE. AND SO IF IS THERE A COMMISSIONER, ANY QUESTIONS FOR CITY STAFF, A QUESTION FOR MR. RUSSO. NO MORE QUESTIONS. I'M SORRY. OKAY. I HATE TO DO THAT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR CITY STAFF? IF NOT, IS THERE A COMMISSIONER WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO DENY? IS THERE A COMMISSIONER WHO'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? MR. CHAIRMAN, AFTER ALL, CONSIDERATION TAKEN IN RESPECT TO ALL PARTIES INVOLVED, I RECOMMEND DECLINING THE REQUEST FOR Z 25 012. SECOND MOTION'S BEEN MADE AND SECONDED TO DENY THIS APPLICATION FOR A ZONING CHANGE. ANY DISCUSSION, IF NOT. WOULD SOMEBODY CALL THE ROLL? WHO'S DOWN HERE? MARINA? CARLEEN. DARBY I CLINT CHILDS, I PHILIP HUMBER I CHRISTINA DAVIS I MICHAEL CARMICHAEL I ROY MARTINEZ. HI AND DAVID HUDSON I THE APPLICATION TO CHANGE THE ZONING IS DENIED. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE. IF YOU'D LIKE TO STAY AND WATCH THE REST OF THE HEARING, YOU CAN. OR IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEAVE, THIS WOULD BE YOUR TURN. THERE IS STILL A MEETING GOING.

ON. AT THE.

FOR A THOUSAND PEOPLE.

CLOSE THE DOOR, CLOSE THE DOOR, CLOSE THE DOOR. CLOSE THE DOOR. CLOSE THE DOOR. CLOSE THE DOOR.

CLOSE THE DOOR. CLOSE THE DOOR. THANKS. YEAH. OKAY. THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR

[01:00:07]

APARTMENT. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE ZONE CHANGE SPECIFICALLY TO DEVELOP TWO FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ON A SINGLE LOT. THE SITE PLAN PROPOSES EIGHT UNITS WITH A DENSITY OF 0.88 UNITS PER ACRE. THE PROPOSED SETBACKS ARE 15FT IN THE FRONT, 15FT ON THE REAR AND TEN FEET ON THE INTERIOR SIDE. THE SITE PLAN ALSO PROPOSES A TEN FOOT WIDE TYPE A BUFFER YARD ALONG THE WEST PROPERTY LINE. THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF THE BUILDINGS IS 42FT.

THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT FEATURES TWO OFF DRIVEWAY PARKING SPACES AND TWO CAR GARAGES FOR EACH UNIT. SIGNAGE, FENCING. LANDSCAPING. PARKING WILL MEET THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE REGULATIONS. THIS IS BUFFER REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR. FOR. THE PROJECT. THESE ALSO TYPES OF TYPE A BUFFER YARDS THAT THE APPLICANT WILL CHOOSE FOR THE TEN FOOT BUFFER YARD ON THAT WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE. AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, THAT'S DISPLAYED. THIS IS ALSO A RENDERING OF THE OF THE ONE STORY FOR FOUR PLEX UNIT. OF THE 16 NOTICES MAILED, NO. NO NOTICES WERE RETURNED IN FAVOR FOR NOTICES IN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST WERE RETURNED FOR A TOTAL PROTEST CALCULATION OF 10.55%. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PROPERTY OWNERS OUTSIDE OF THE 200 FOOT PROTEST MAP AREA. IN OPPOSITION TO THIS REQUEST, THE OPPOSITION EXPRESSED CONCERNS OF A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF RESIDENTS AND VEHICLES AND A NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND ALSO A POTENTIAL DECREASE IN PROPERTY VALUE OF THE AREA. STAFF HAS PERFORMED A TECHNICAL REVIEW OF THE REQUEST, AND FINDS THAT IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE APPROVAL CRITERIA. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR SHEILA? ANY QUESTIONS FOR CITY STAFF? IF NOT BOB, DO YOU REPRESENT THAT WELL? I'M SORRY, WHEN YOU'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK, BUT YOU NEED TO ENGAGE WITH US AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME AND WE'LL BE YOU'LL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY, I PROMISE. BOB, DO YOU REPRESENT THE APPLICANT? YES, SIR. BOB BREEDLOVE WITH BRANDON CORPORATION HERE REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY OWNER AND DEVELOPER. AS SHEILA DID A

[01:05:04]

WE'RE LEAVING SOME BUFFERS, AS YOU CAN TELL THERE, AND BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF WORK WE'LL BE DOING ON DOLORES. THERE'S NOT CURB AND GUTTER THE WHOLE WAY, SO WE'LL ADD CURB AND GUTTER ON OUR SIDE. DO A LITTLE BIT OF WIDENING OF DOLORES RIGHT THERE.

WE EXPECT MOST OF OUR TRAFFIC TO GO TO COPAN ROAD. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'D BE A CHANCE TO GO THE OTHER DIRECTION, BUT YOU'D BE KIND OF WINDING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO WE EXPECT MOST OF THE TRAFFIC TO GO IN AND OUT OF COPAN ROAD. WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR Y'ALL.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. I MAY HAVE MISSED IT EARLIER. WHAT'S THE BED BATH COUNT PROPOSED ON THIS? THE. I BELIEVE IT'S THREE TWOS ON THE OUTSIDE UNITS AND TWO TWOS ON THE INSIDE UNITS. JAMES GOSS WITH HUNT IS HERE. HE'LL CONFIRM THAT FOR ME. OKAY. SORRY. THE OUTSIDE UNITS. SIR.

SIR, COME TO THE MICROPHONE. STATE YOUR NAME. ADDRESS THE OUTSIDE UNITS ON THAT SINGLE STORY THAT IS ADJACENT TO THE SINGLE FAMILY. THOSE ARE THREE TWOS. THE INTERIOR IS TWO TWOS.

AND THEN THE TWO STORY ADJACENT ACROSS THE STREET. THOSE WOULD ALL BE THREE. TWO. WOULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, MR. JAMES GOSS? I'M WITH HUNT DEVELOPMENT. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COULD YOU EXPLAIN THE ACROSS THE STREET THING? I'M REALLY SORRY. I'M JUST TRYING TO KEEP UP. WELL, THERE'S A DRIVEWAY COMING IN. THAT'S THE STREET WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YEAH, THAT'S THE THAT'S THE DRIVEWAY COMING IN THERE. SO IT'S JUST A COMMON ACCESS DRIVE WITH A HAMMERHEAD TURNAROUND. THERE'S NO GATE PLANNED AT THIS TIME. AND THEN, OF COURSE, DOLORES EXISTS. SO WE'LL BE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DOLORES ITSELF, BUT JUST BE A DRIVEWAY OFF OF DOLORES. OKAY? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, I HAVE NOBODY IS SIGNED UP ON MY SCREEN TO SPEAK. ARE THERE PERSONS HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS APPLICATION? I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY FOR OR AGAINST. YES, SIR. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS WAYNE PAGE. I LIVE AT 909 DOLORES. MY CONCERN IS THE TRAFFIC ON DOLORES IS ONE OF THE MAIN ENTRANCES TO FOXCROFT ADDITION. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAVE A NEW ADDITION ACROSS COPELAND ROAD THAT COMES INTO THIS INTERSECTION. PLUS THE INDUSTRIAL PARK OFF COPELAND ROAD. MOST OF THOSE MAKE A U TURN AT THIS INTERSECTION, WHICH PUTS A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON COPELAND ROAD. AND MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF THE TRAFFIC AND ALL THAT. YOU KNOW, COUPLE OF ROADS IS A REAL BUSY INTERSECTION. SO THAT'S MY CONCERN. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS GENTLEMAN? THANK YOU, SIR FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE. THIS LADY HERE REALLY SHOULD GO FIRST. I'M SORRY I PUT YOU OFF, BUT. OH NO. MY APOLOGIES FOR JUMPING IN AND I DIDN'T REALIZE I COULDN'T ASK A QUESTION AT THAT POINT. STATE. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? MY NAME IS CRYSTAL STRICKLAND. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF COPELAND POINT OWNERS ASSOCIATION, WHICH HAS A PRETTY LARGE FOOTPRINT WITHIN THAT 200 FOOT AREA THAT WAS NOTICED. I'M ALSO HERE ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AS AN OWNER OF DREAM TREE HOLDINGS, WHICH OWNS TWO SUITES WITHIN THE BUILDINGS THERE, AND ACTUALLY, IF I CAN NOW, AM I ABLE TO ASK THE QUESTION I WANTED TO ASK, WHY DON'T YOU ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS TO ME? OKAY, SURE. SO I WAS CURIOUS AS TO HOW YOU GUYS CALCULATE THAT PERCENTAGE FOR THE NOTICES THAT WERE RETURNED IN OPPOSITION. AND THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE SOME OF THE OWNERS THAT WERE WITHIN THAT AREA OWNED MULTIPLE LOTS, AND SO ARE THEY BEING COUNTED AS ONE, OR ARE THEY BEING COUNTED AS HOW MANY VOTES THAT PERSON WOULD HAVE? KYLE, SHEILA. KYLE. SO IT'S CALCULATED BASED OFF THE AREA OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S PROTECTING THE REQUEST. IF WE.

[01:10:08]

YEAH. SO I THINK THAT THAT PERCENTAGE IS HIGHER. I CAN TELL NOW BY LOOKING AT THIS MAP, I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT CBDCS INVESTMENTS PROTESTED ALSO MYSELF DREAMING TREE HOLDINGS AND ALSO COPELAND POINT OWNERS ASSOCIATION DO NOT APPEAR TO BE HIGHLIGHTED THERE IN RED. THAT'S GOING TO FILL IN A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT MAP. THIS THIS THIS CHART ILLUSTRATES THE 200 FOOT AREA, RIGHT. POPLAR POINT OWNERS ASSOCIATION IS WITHIN THAT AREA. AND THE RED IS THOSE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY PROTESTED. SO THE OTHERS IF THE OTHER PEOPLE PROTESTED, WE DON'T EVIDENTLY DON'T HAVE NOTICE OF THAT. YES, WE EMAILED THEM. I SENT THEM LAST WEEK. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT THAT INFORMATION. THAT'S WHY THOSE ARE RED AND THE OTHERS ARE NOT IS. THAT'S RIGHT. THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT THAT WE WERE GIVEN NOTICE OF WHO ACTUALLY PROTESTED. RIGHT. OKAY. SO IN ANY EVENT, THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE THAT PROTESTED. I WAS COPIED ON THE EMAILS. I SENT SOME OF THE EMAILS MYSELF. I DON'T SEE MY REPRESENTATION UP THERE. SO I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE MORE PROTESTS THAN WHAT IS REPRESENTED ON THE SCREEN. OKAY, SO IN ANY EVENT, COPPOLA POINT OWNERS ASSOCIATION OBVIOUSLY ALSO OWNS PROPERTY DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THAT 200 FOOT AREA AS WELL. AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE OWNERS WITHIN THAT AREA. THEY'VE EXPRESSED CONCERNS WITH POTENTIAL FOR DECREASE IN PROPERTY VALUES.

THESE BILLS. SO A COUPLE OF POINT OWNERS ASSOCIATION IS MADE UP OF SEVEN OFFICE BUILDINGS, PRIMARILY WITH ATTORNEYS, DOCTORS, REAL ESTATE BROKERS, THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, JUST TO NAME A FEW. THESE BUILDINGS ARE VALUED. EACH SUITE IS A LITTLE OVER $250,000, SO $1 MILLION PER BUILDING. THIS IS A VERY, YOU KNOW, HIGH, HIGH VALUED PROPERTY. AND BEING NEXT DOOR TO A MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT, WE FEEL THAT'S NOT CONGRUENT WITH THE WAY THAT THE PROPERTIES AROUND US HAVE BEEN USED HISTORICALLY. SO YOU ALSO HAVE HISTORICALLY AN OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD ADJACENT TO IT THAT IS PRIMARILY LARGER SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES. YOU ALSO HAVE ACROSS THE STREET, JUST WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR SO, PARK CENTRAL, A NEW DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS DEVELOPED PRIMARILY FOR HOUSE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES THAT ARE GOING TO BE OVER $1 MILLION, PUTTING IN MULTIFAMILY HOUSING THERE DOESN'T, IN MY OPINION, SEEM TO MAKE SENSE. THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN COPELAND POINT SEEM TO SHARE THAT IDEA OR OPINION. AND SO WE ARE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS REZONING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS LADY? AGAIN? THANK YOU. ARE THERE OTHERS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? YES, SIR. I'M JAMES PFENNINGER AT 6019 FOXCROFT. I JUST ACTUALLY SAW THIS NOTICE IN THIS LOT YESTERDAY, SO LOOKED IT UP AND REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID. AND I WILL REITERATE THIS, THAT IT DOESN'T FIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE HAVE HOUSES, THE AVERAGE HOUSE SIZE ABOUT 3500FT■!S FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY UNITS. OKAY, I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 25 YEARS. WE JUST COMPLETELY REMODELED OUR HOUSE TO BRING IT EVEN UP HIGHER. AND THERE'S A VERY, VERY NICE. EVERYBODY PROBABLY KNOWS WHERE FOXCROFT IS. IT'S WELL RESPECTED NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S NICE TO SEE A LOT OF YOUNG FAMILIES MOVING THERE BECAUSE WHEN WE MOVED THERE WE WERE THE YOUNGEST. AND SO IT'S TURNING AROUND WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF YOUNG FAMILIES AND I'M SEEING KIDS RIDING THEIR BICYCLES, AND I'M SEEING FAMILIES WALKING A LOT MORE THAN I USED TO WHEN WE FIRST MOVED THERE. SO AND YOU'RE SAYING THE TRAFFIC, MOST OF THE TRAFFIC WOULD GO OUT TO GRANDE WELL CREEK ROAD IS THE OTHER ROAD THAT INTERSECTS WITH NEW

[01:15:06]

HI THERE. MY NAME IS MEGAN RILEY AND I LIVE AT 913 DOLORES STREET, WHICH IS JUST TWO HOUSES DOWN FROM THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION. CAN WE CAN WE SEE A PROPERTY MAP? SO THIS. SO I CAN SEE WHERE PEOPLE LIVE. SO YOU'R. WHICH HOUSE IS YOURS ON, DOLORES? NONE OF THOSE. THE ONE IN RED, TWO HOUSES DOWN. OKAY. I LIVE THERE WITH MY HUSBAND AND OUR ONE YEAR OLD SON. AGAIN, JUST TWO HOUSES DOWN. I'M HERE TODAY TO RESPECTFULLY BUT FIRMLY OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF MULTIFAMILY FOUR PLEX APARTMENT COMPLEXES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. OUR COMMUNITY IS CURRENTLY MADE UP OF A QUIET, SECLUDED, OWNER OCCUPIED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WOULD FUNDAMENTALLY AND PERMANENTLY ALTER THE CHARACTER OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WHAT IS NOW A PEACEFUL RESIDENTIAL AREA COULD BECOME A HIGH DENSITY CLUSTER OF UP TO EIGHT FAMILIES, WITH ABOUT FOUR INDIVIDUALS IN EACH FAMILY. THAT WOULD BE 32 INDIVIDUALS IN A SMALL AREA, ALONG WITH ACCOMPANYING VEHICLES, PETS, AND TRAFFIC THAT COME WITH IT. THIS KIND OF DENSITY IS SIMPLY INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. IT WOULD NOT ONLY INCREASE NOISE, CONGESTION AND WEAR ON OUR ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE A REDUCTION IN THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR HOMES AND THE OTHERS NEARBY. WHILE WE UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPMENT IS INEVITABLE, IT MUST BE APPROPRIATE AND RESPECTFUL OF EXISTING COMMUNITIES. A PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DESIGNATION WOULD BE A FAR MORE SUITABLE USE OF THE PROPERTY. IT ALIGNS WITH THE MIXED USE CHARACTER OF NEW COPELAND ROAD, WHICH WOULD NOT IMPACT NEGATIVELY IMPACT HOME VALUES OR THE PEACEFUL NATURE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'RE ASKING THE COMMISSION TO PRIORITIZE THE INTEGRITY OF OUR COMMUNITY AND TO REJECT THIS ZONING CHANGE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS LADY? THANKS FOR YOUR YOUR PRESENCE. ARE THERE OTHERS? ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? YES, MA'AM. HI, I'M JANET DOHERTY AND I LIVE AT 6022 FOXCROFT ROAD, WHICH IS UP IN ABOUT FOUR HOUSES UP ON THE CORNER OF DOLORES AND FOXCROFT. SO MY DRIVEWAY ACTUALLY RUNS INTO DOLORES, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M OPPOSED TO IT AS WELL FOR PROPERTY VALUE REASONS. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A WHOLE LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S HARD TO GET OUT. AND WHEN HE SAID THAT THE CENTRAL NOTICE IT CENTRAL PARK PROPERTY ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS COPELAND THAT JUST OPENED UP. THEY'VE ONLY BUILT ONE HOUSE IN THERE SO FAR. IT'S 26 LOTS. THINK OF THE TRAFFIC THAT ALL THAT COMES INTO ONE PLACE. AND IT'S JUST ADDING TO OUR ISSUES. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS LADY? IF NOT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENCE. ARE THERE OTHERS? ALL RIGHT BOB, GIVE THE APPLICANT A RIGHT TO CLOSE YOUR DEVELOPER, ONE OR THE OTHER. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE DEVELOPER IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE NOW. SURE. DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY PLANS AT THE MOMENT ON THE ADJACENT LOT TO THE EAST, WE'VE DONE A LAYOUT FOR AN OFFICE BUILDING, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY PLANS TO BUILD ANYTHING YET. YES, I KNOW THE OWNER IS WANTING TO BUILD AN OFFICE OF SOME SORT. HE HASN'T DECIDED YET. HE HAS A PRACTICE THAT HE COULD POTENTIALLY BE PUTTING IN THERE SOME MOVING PARTS, BUT THE INTENT IS TO KEEP THAT COMMERCIAL. THANKS. THANKS,

[01:20:01]

SORRY, NOT A QUESTION FOR MR. BREEDLOVE, BUT, SHEILA, COULD WE SEE THE ZONING MAP AGAIN, PLEASE? THAT ONE. THANK YOU. SO THERE'S NO OTHER MULTIFAMILY ANYWHERE IN THIS VICINITY? YEAH.

KYLE WOULD PLANNED MULTIFAMILY. WE'RE VOTING ON THIS PLAN. AND THIS PLAN ALONE, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. AND BE SPECIFIC. AND ONLY FOR THAT THAT LAYOUT, IF THERE WERE TO BE ANY ANY CHANGE, IT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THIS, THIS PROCESS. AND ALSO, KYLE, WOULD YOU COMMENT ON WITH THE PERCENTAGES BEING IN QUESTION, IF THEY EXCEED A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT THE VOTE AT CITY COUNCIL HAS TO BE. WOULD YOU KIND OF EXPLAIN THAT? JUST SO WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE PERCENTAGES CORRECT? WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE IF WE CONFIRM THAT THOSE THOSE OTHER PROPERTIES ARE IN OPPOSITION, THAT IT WOULD LIKELY EXCEED THE 20% THRESHOLD FOR CALCULATING PROTEST THAT WILL REQUIRE CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE IT WITH A THREE QUARTERS MAJORITY INSTEAD OF A SIMPLE MAJORITY. SO I THINK THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED TODAY FROM THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS, OR THOSE THAT MIGHT REPRESENT SOME SOME OF THEM IS HOPEFULLY HELPFUL TO YOU ALL. BUT THE PROTEST CALCULATION WILL ONLY AFFECT THE VOTE THAT'S REQUIRED THAT CITY COUNCIL IF IT IF IT GOES TO THAT STAGE.

THANKS. ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS. ANY OTHER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ANY. THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. IF NOT, THIS SEES THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE. IS THERE A COMMISSIONER WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION OF ANY KIND? MR. CHAIRMAN, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO DENY REQUEST PD 25 009 FOR DENSITY REASONS. SECOND MOTION'S BEEN MADE AND SECONDED TO DENY ANY DISCUSSION. IF NOT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION TO DENY, SAY I. I ANY OPPOSED? NAY. SO THAT'S 2 TO 5, I BELIEVE. DID I GET THAT RIGHT BY VOTE OF 5 TO 2, THE APPLICATION

[VI.3. Z25-009 LINH HANG (3715 WOODBINE BOULEVARD)]

SHEILA. YES, SIR. THIS IS A ZONE CHANGE FROM R-1, A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO C2.

GENTLEMAN, HOLD ON JUST A SECOND. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHERS, BUT I CAN'T. I CAN'T HEAR SINGLES. PROBABLY MY ADVANCED AGE, BUT NOT OKAY IN YOUR SQUAD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY, SHEILA. SO THIS IS HIS OWN CHANGE FROM R-1. A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO C2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF WOODBINE BOULEVARD AND. EAST SOUTHEAST LOOP 323. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE ZONE CHANGE FOR COMMERCIAL USES. THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH, EAST, AND SOUTH ARE ZONED R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND ARE DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES TO THE WEST ARE ZONED R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND RPO RESTRICTED PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT, AND ARE DEVELOPED WITH THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND UNDEVELOPED LOT, RESPECTIVELY. THE FUTURE LAND USE GUIDE IDENTIFIES THIS PROPERTY AS SINGLE FAMILY, MEDIUM LOW DENSITY. THIS REQUEST WOULD AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE GUIDE TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL. THE APPLICANT PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY WITH THE INTENT OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT DUE TO THE PROPERTY'S FRONTAGE ALONG LOOP 323, WHICH IS A MAJOR ARTERIAL STREET, AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTIES, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THAT HAVE FRONTAGE BOTH ALONG LUKE 323 AND RESIDENTIAL STREETS. THESE PROPERTIES ARE REQUIRED TO BE ACCESSED BY THE STREET OF THE

[01:25:04]

PULL THE MICROPHONE DOWN AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. GOOD AFTERNOON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. IN THE ROOM TODAY I'M MY NAME, AND MY ADDRESS IS 37. GOODBYE BOULEVARD. AND I WOULD LIKE TO TURN MY LAND, BE THE COMMERCIAL LAND, BECAUSE BEFORE THAT THE HOUSE. BUT I SEE THAT MY TWO ON THE LOOP. THEY ARE THE COMMERCIAL ALREADY. THAT'S WHY I WOULD LIKE TO BE TURNED MY LAND.

BE COMMERCIAL LAND. THANKS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? THANK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE. ARE THERE OTHERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? GOLDEN. SOMEONE COME FORWARD. GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS, I'M DANIEL KNITWEAR. I LIVE AT 1626 DENNIS DRIVE. IT'S ABOUT A QUARTER MILE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, KIND OF BETWEEN GREEN ACRES AND THE SUBJECT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. I'M HERE KIND OF SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF A LOT OF CONCERNED NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS OUT IN THE AREA. WE HAVE GATHERED TOGETHER. WE'VE PROVIDED A LETTER THAT I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR PACKET WITH OVER 30 SIGNATURES IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ZONING REQUEST CHANGE. JUST BRIEFLY, THE BULLET POINTS OF IT WOULD BE THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS ALWAYS BEEN RESIDENTIAL. THAT IT ACTUALLY IS REQUIRED TO BE RESIDENTIAL DUE TO ZONING RESTRICTIONS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE STILL IN PLACE. THAT THERE'S RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE OF RECORD IN THE PROPERTY RECORDS THAT REQUIRE IT TO BE MAINTAINED AS RESIDENTIAL AND NOT OPERATED AS A BUSINESS. AND ONE OTHER POINT THAT IT'S PART OF A PROPOSED HISTORIC DISTRICT CALLED THE POLLARD RESIDENTIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, THAT'S PENDING APPROVAL. THIS PROPERTY IS PART OF THAT AND KIND OF THE WHOLE INTENT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT IS TO, YOU KNOW, CELEBRATE THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE ARE SOME OTHER PROPERTIES, SORT OF IN THE AREA THAT HAVE A COMMERCIAL CHARACTER, BUT THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS AREA THAT IS COMMERCIAL THAT IS ZONED COMMERCIAL. THERE'S A PROPERTY AT 3720 BIRDWELL THAT'S OWNED,

[01:30:07]

SO ONE THING THAT I'D LIKE TO DO SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, 20 PEOPLE COMING UP HERE TO SPEAK, IS TO JUST ASK PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE TO RAISE THEIR HAND IF THEY'RE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ZONING CHANGE, AND THEN I CAN KIND OF COUNT THOSE OUT FOR YOU. SO IF YOU DO THAT AT THIS TIME, PLEASE. SO WE'VE GOT AT LEAST 20 HERE. I'VE GOT 30 SIGNATURES. NOT ALL THOSE DIRECTLY OVERLAP.

SO I'LL, I'LL LET A FEW OTHERS SPEAK TO COVER THINGS THAT, THAT I HAVEN'T COVERED. BUT WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU DENY THIS ZONING CHANGE. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BLAIR? I HAVE A QUESTION. I'M GONNA COME TO THE MICROPHONE. I'M SORRY. I'M NOT THE. WE PLAN FOR THE OPEN THE BUSINESS UP THERE, BUT WE'RE NOT PLANNING IT JUST FOR THE LAND COMMERCIAL ONLY. BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL LATER. WHATEVER. AND WE SELL THAT LAND. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO BE COMMERCIAL LAND. ONLY I DON'T BUILD THE NAIL SALON. OR MAYBE PEOPLE BUY. AND THE OFFICE, DOCTOR OFFICE OR DENTAL OFFICE AND NOT HUSTLE NEIGHBORHOOD AT ALL. BECAUSE THE WAY THE INFANT TO THE LOOP AND THE SIZE THAT THE MODEL. THE GOODBYE. THAT'S WHY I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO THE ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU, THANK YOU APPRECIATE MR. NOAH'S INCLUDING OTHERS. BUT THOSE PEOPLE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IF THEY'D LIKE. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. MY NAME IS LORI ALLEN. I LIVE AT 1607 DENNIS DRIVE, WHICH IS THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF DENNIS AND BIRDWELL. AND I'M A NEIGHBOR OF DANNY'S, AND WE'RE ALL REAL PROUD OF HIM BECAUSE HE IS SO INTERESTED IN THE HISTORICAL NATURE. NOW ON THAT STREET, WOODBINE. DANNY CAN VERIFY IF I'M GETTING THIS EXACTLY RIGHT, BUT WHEN WE HAD THE PARADE OF HOMES, THE IT'S NOT CALLED THE PARADE OF HOMES. THE HISTORICAL TOUR. WASN'T THERE A HOUSE AT WOODBINE OR RIGHT ACROSS THAT DOUBLE? THAT WAS. YES, YES, YES. AND SO YOU GET THE IDEA THAT THERE WAS A HOUSE THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO HISTORIC, THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THIS MID-CENTURY MODERN ERA AREA SO DESIGNATED THAT IT'S ONLY A FEW LESS THAN A BLOCK DOWN FROM THIS. SO LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAME UP HERE EARLIER SO ELOQUENTLY ASKED YOU TO DO, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO IMAGINE YOUR BLOCK YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THINK OF ONE HOUSE AT THE END, EITHER END, MAYBE CLOSEST TO THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE. AND THAT HOUSE HAS BURNED DOWN, TRAGICALLY BURNED DOWN. WOULD YOU WANT A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TO BE BUILT IN THAT EMPTY LOT WHERE THE HOUSE BURNED DOWN? THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED HERE IN THIS PROPERTY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE HOUSE BURNED DOWN. AND IF YOU'VE BEEN AT TRUTH IN THE LOOP AND YOU HAVE GONE ONCE, YOU HAVE PASSED THIS LOT. SO IT'S THAT OBVIOUS NOW, WE'RE GLAD FOR ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESSES TO OPEN IN TYLER. IN FACT, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME EMPTY STOREFRONTS JUST A FEW, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE HALF A BLOCK A MILE DOWN AT PALUXY AND THE LOOP. THERE ARE PLENTY OF EMPTY STOREFRONTS GOING THE NORTH ON PALUXY AND RIGHT ON THE LOOP, AND THEN YOU CAN JUST GO OVER TO BROADWAY AND THE LOOP, WHICH IS THE WESTERN SIDE OPPOSITE, AND YOU'VE GOT BIG LOTS AND THOSE EMPTY STOREFRONTS. SO THERE ARE PLENTY OF PLACES FOR BUSINESSES TO BE THAT DON'T HAVE TO BE HERE

[01:35:01]

THAT'S. I'M SURE I'M NOT DOING THAT THAT THAT'S THE ONE I RAN OUT AND THEY BURN OUT AND THEY INVESTIGATION PEOPLE AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING. NOT MY FAULT BECAUSE PEOPLE LIVE IN THERE AND THEY FIND NOT. AND SHE SAY THAT I BURN DOWN AND THAT THE LAND CLEAR OUT FOR ME. AND THAT'S NOT RIGHT. I SWEAR TO GOD. YOU KNOW INVESTIGATION. I'M NOT ACCUSING YOU SAYING LIKE THAT. I FEEL SAD FOR EVERYBODY HERE. AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN. I SUPPLY I'M SORRY. WE'RE WE'RE THAT ONE. IT HURT MY HEART. YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO CONDUCT THIS HEARING. I WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE BUSINESS ON, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE AND EVERYTHING. IT'S A MAN IN HERE.

THEY INVESTIGATION AND MY INSURANCE PAID FOR FULL MY HOUSE ALREADY. WE'RE GOING TO CONDUCT THIS HEARING ORDERLY. AND I THINK IT'S TIME FOR OTHERS TO SPEAK IF THEY'D LIKE. YES, SIR.

YOU HAVE. I DIDN'T SAY THAT. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS DAVID FROST. I LIVE AT 3501 WOODBINE BOULEVARD. SIX HOUSES, MAYBE IN ON THE SAME SIDE AS THIS LOT. AND I'M. DANNY SAID MOST OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO SAY, BUT I DID WANT TO JUST KIND OF ADDRESS SOME OF THE CRITERIA. I KNOW THAT THE COMMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING AT AND MAKING THESE TYPES OF DECISIONS AND, YOU KNOW, THE CHANGE TO COMMERCIAL. TWO, OBVIOUSLY, I THINK THEIR APPLICATION INDICATED A NAIL SALON. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT SHE'S CONTINUING TO WANT TO DO, BUT THAT INCLUDES AUTO, AUTOMOBILE, GARAGE SALES LOT, A HOTEL, RESTAURANT, WAREHOUSE, GAS STATION. OBVIOUSLY, THAT WOULD FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN RESIDENTIAL. AND I'VE LIVED THERE SINCE 1997. THE HOUSE THAT WAS THERE BEFORE IT HAD BURNED DOWN WAS ALWAYS OCCUPIED. SO PEOPLE HAVE LIVED IN ON THAT LOT CONSISTENTLY. BUT IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, I KNOW ON THE TYLER FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, I'M NOT GOING TO HIT ALL OF THE CRITERIA, BUT I KNOW ONE OF THEM IS ONE OF THE GOALS. UNDER THAT, TYLER FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS SUSTAIN IS TO SUSTAIN AND MAINTAIN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS IS AN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD. SINCE THE 1950S, THE CURTIS FAMILY HELPED DEVELOP THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT'S A WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD. BEAUTIFUL HOMES, OLD HOMES, WONDERFUL FAMILIES THAT LIVED THERE, THIS AREA, YOU KNOW, THE BOULEVARD, CRAPE MYRTLES THAT GO ACROSS WITH THE CREEK THERE. PEOPLE LOVE TO WALK AROUND THERE. THEY DON'T EVEN LIVE ON OUR STREET. THEY COME AND WALK AND ENJOY THE AREA. CLEARLY A NAIL SALON OR SOME TYPE OF BUSINESS THAT FLOODS ALL OF ITS TRAFFIC ONTO OUR STREETS IS NOT GOOD FOR IT. OTHER CRITERIA IS TO ZONING CHANGES TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE PRESENT ZONING. CONFORM USES NEARBY PROPERTY WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS RESIDENTIAL.

IT'S NOT COMMERCIAL. THERE ARE. IT'S A DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN Y'ALL ARE DEALING WITH. BUT THERE IS A GREEN ACRES UNIT NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS WHAT THIS LOT IS IN. THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS TO RESIDENTIAL ONLY. CAN IT BE CHANGED? YEAH, BUT BY A VOTE OF MAJORITY OF THE LOT OWNERS, THAT'S NOT HAPPENING AND WOULD NOT HAPPEN. BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT Y'ALL'S ISSUE. BUT CLEARLY THIS IS A CHANGE THAT'S NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE CRITERIA THAT YOU NEED TO BE LOOKING AT.

AND I URGE YOU TO VOTE NO AGAINST THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS GENTLEMAN? IF NOT, YES, SIR. HI, MY NAME IS JAKE SPIVEY. THANK YOU. COMMISSION FOR HEARING ME OUT. I'M HERE TO AGAIN VOICE THE SAME OPINIONS YOU'VE HEARD EARLIER THAT YOU KNOW WE SHOULD THE VOTE SHOULD GO AGAINST REZONING THIS AS A C2 LOT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REASONS, AND WE'RE TRYING TO NOT HIT ALL OF THE SAME AS OTHERS HAVE. BUT I MAY HAVE TO KIND OF ECHO SOME AS WELL. THIS WOULD BE THE ONLY C2 LOT. I MEAN, ON THE MAP SENT OUT SHOWING THE ZONING. THERE IS NO OTHER C-2 ZONES ANYWHERE, ANYWHERE ON THIS MAP, AS WELL.

AS THEY MENTIONED, C2 IS A MUCH WIDER OPTION FOR, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT

[01:40:06]

AND THOSE TWO LOTS ARE WOULD ALSO BE THE ABSOLUTE BOTTOM FOR DRAINAGE DOWN INTO FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M SURE YOU'VE DRIVEN BY ON THE LOOP AFTER BIG HEAVY RAINS AT SOME POINT AND IT FLOODS. IT SITS THERE FOR DAYS. THOSE LOTS JUST HAVE WATER SITTING FOR MANY, MANY DAYS AFTER ANY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, NON DRIZZLE AS WELL AS YOU'VE HAS BEEN MENTIONED, THE ENTRANCE WILL BE FORCED TO BE ON WOODBINE. THAT IS A SPLIT ROAD THAT I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ONE WAY ON EACH SIDE. I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF ANYBODY DOES. AND SO THE CONGESTION FROM VEHICLES ENTERING, EXITING RIGHT THERE AT THE INTERSECTION, AS WELL AS IT BEING SUCH A NARROW ROAD COMBINED WITH, YOU KNOW, WOODBINE AND BIRDWELL ARE BOTH USED VERY, VERY OFTEN AS CUT THRUS TO GET UP TO DE CHARLES, TO CUT DOWN TO BROADWAY, TO SKIP THAT WHOLE INTERSECTION OF THE LOOP AND BROADWAY. THAT WOULD BE VERY NEGATIVE FOR FOOT TRAFFIC, WHICH HAS BEEN MENTIONED. I WALK MY DOG ON THAT ROAD EVERY DAY. AND YEAH, THAT THAT MORE OR LESS SUMMARIZES YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE MY OBJECTION IN EMAIL THAT I FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, CLEARLY STATES IT IN A PROBABLY A LOT BETTER WORDS THAN I'M PULLING YOU OFF THE CUFF OF MY SLEEVE AT THE MOMENT. AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT I DO BELIEVE THAT NUMBER IS INCORRECT IN SOME WAY.

THE NEIGHBOR AT. BRADY, LARRY WAYNE, SUPPOSEDLY HAD SENT IN HIS VOTE AGAINST AND JANINE HUGHES, THE CURRENT RESIDENTS AT THAT PROPERTY ARE GRANDCHILDREN, AND THEY'VE SAID THAT THEY RECEIVED NO NOTICE. SHE IS CURRENTLY IN A MEMORY CARE FACILITY, SO IF A NOTICE WOULD HAVE GONE TO HER, THAT WAS PROBABLY NOT THE BEST PERSON FOR HER TO GO TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. THE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION IS SORT OF THE UNTIMELINESS THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT, THIS LOT WAS LISTED FOR SALE AS COMMERCIAL FOR WEEKS BEFORE THE SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED A COUPLE DAYS LATER. I KNOW THIS SAYS IT WAS MAILED MAY 16TH. I RECEIVED IT, I BELIEVE ON THE 24TH OR 25TH. AND YOU KNOW, NINE, TEN DAYS LATER, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HAVING TO HAVE THIS HERE. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THERE'S APPROPRIATE NOTICE OR TIME GIVEN TO COLLECT THE SIGNATURES AS WELL. THANK YOU. I BELIEVE THAT'S THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PRESENCE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS GENTLEMAN. THANK YOU AGAIN. ARE THERE OTHERS? YES, MA'AM. HELLO. MY NAME IS SANDY KISSINGER, AND MY HUSBAND AND I ARE HERE. KYLE. WE LIVE AT 3401 WOODBINE BOULEVARD.

AND NEXT MONTH WE WILL HAVE BEEN THERE 29 YEARS. AND THE ONLY POINT THAT I WANT TO MAKE THAT HASN'T REALLY BEEN BROUGHT UP. I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID, IS THAT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT MAP, IT'S MORE OF THE TRACK, NOT REALLY TRAFFIC, BUT JUST TURNING INTO THAT PROPERTY. YOU ALMOST HAVE TO MAKE ALMOST KIND OF A ALMOST A U-TURN OR A VERY, VERY SHARP TURN, WHICH CAUSES YOU TO SLOW DOWN. AND SO LIVING THERE, YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS WATCHING THE CARS BEHIND ME TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE YOU'RE ON THE LOOP, THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET REAR ENDED. AND SO THAT LOT BEING IF THAT IF WOODBINE IS THE ONLY IN AND OUT, THAT'S GOING TO BE A

[01:45:03]

SO THE U-TURN IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE MADE RIGHT THERE AT BILOXI AND IN THE LOOP. SO THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER INCREASE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR THANK THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS LADY? ARE THERE OTHERS? YES, SIR. HELLO. MY NAME IS KYLE KISSINGER. I DO LIVE AT 3401 WOODBINE BOULEVARD, ABOUT SEVEN HOUSES NORTH OF THIS PROJECT. I JUST WANTED TO RADIATE. RADIATE THAT I DO OPPOSE THE REZONING OF THIS BECAUSE IT IS A BOULEVARD WITH THE SPLIT ROADWAYS. YOU WOULD MIGHT HAVE THE PERCEPTION THAT IT IS ONE WAY ON EACH SIDE.

THAT IS NOT THE CASE. IT IS TWO WAYS, BOTH SIDES. THAT ROADBED IS ONLY MEANT FOR TWO LANE, TWO WAY TRAFFIC, AND IT IS PARKING IS ALLOWED. SO THAT WOULD JUST CONGEST THAT AREA EVEN MORE. AND THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONGESTION AND SAFETY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENCE. ANY QUESTIONS? ARE THERE OTHERS? YES, MA'AM. I'M TONY MICHAEL AT 3700 WOODBINE BOULEVARD. THERE'S ALREADY BEEN OTHERS WHO HAVE REPRESENTED THOSE THAT LIVE ON WOODBINE. I JUST WANTED TO BE SURE THAT WE HAD GOOD REPRESENTATION. A COUPLE OF THINGS. WHENEVER I TELL SOMEONE THAT WE LIVE ON WOODBINE, THEY ALWAYS KNOW WHERE THAT IS BECAUSE IT'S A BOULEVARD, WHICH I THINK IS A VERY UNIQUE. IT'S UNIQUE TO TYLER. THE FACT THAT WE ARE IN THE POLLARD HISTORICAL AREA, WHICH IS TO BE APPROVED, IS IMPORTANT. BUT I ALSO DO WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THE TIMING OF OUR NOTICE, BECAUSE WE HAD A FEW ONLY A FEW DAYS. WELL, IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT OUR.

THAT WE RESPOND BY THE 24TH OF MAY AND THAT WAS JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER WE RECEIVED OUR NOTICE.

AND NOT QUITE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE TIMING OF THAT AND ALSO THE TIME OF DAY. IT DOES MAKE IT HARD FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK TO COME TO THE MEETING. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANKS FOR YOUR PRESENCE.

ANY OTHERS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR CITY STAFF? STAFF? YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I THINK WE'VE HAD A FULL DISCUSSION OF THIS ISSUE. THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO DENY. IS THERE A COMMISSIONER WHO'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE. WE DENY Z 25 009. SECOND MOTION'S BEEN MADE AND SECONDED TO DENY THIS APPLICATION. THE ZONING CHANGE. ANY COMMENTS? IF NOT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? APPLICATIONS DENIED. NEXT IS Z 20 5-014 NORTH CHASE

[VI.4. Z25-014 NORTHCHASE DEVELOPMENT LLC (3895 NORTH BROADWAY AVENUE)]

SHEILA. YES, SIR. GIVE US A SOFTBALL HERE, WILL YOU? OKAY, I THINK I CAN DO THAT. OKAY. THIS IS A ZONING CHANGE FROM RMF MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO R1. B SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THIS IS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST INTERSECTION OF EAST NORTH EAST LOOP 323 AND NORTH BROADWAY AVENUE. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE ZONING CHANGE TO DEVELOP LOTS FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH ARE C1. LIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND PMD ONE PLAN MIXED USE DISTRICT AND ARE UNDEVELOPED. THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE EAST IS ZONED R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND IS ALSO UNDEVELOPED. THE ADJACENT

[01:50:02]

[VI.5. Z25-011 BEVERLY BANKS MONROE (441 AND 435 SOUTH ROSS AVENUE)]

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE IT TO R1 D, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THEM TO BUILD IT FROM 25 FRONT, 15 REAR, AND INTERIOR SIDE ZERO, AND IF IT'S A SIDE CORNER, IT WOULD BE 12, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ALIGNS WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, WHERE MOST OF THE HOMES ARE SUITED ON SIMILAR SIZED LOTS. THIS REQUEST WOULD ACCOMPLISH THE TYLER FIRST GOAL OF ADDING MORE HOUSING IN THE NORTH NORTH END. OF THE 17 NOTICES MAILED, NO NOTICES WERE RETURNED IN FAVOR OR IN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST, AND STAFF HAS PERFORMED A TECHNICAL REVIEW AND FINDS THAT IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE APPROVAL CRITERIA. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR CITY STAFF? IF NOT, IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT? YES, MA'AM. WOULD YOU COME TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE? STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE

[01:55:02]
