I WAS ASSISTING WITH THE. THIS ITEM IS A REZONING IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A RECENT ANNEXATION OF THIS PROPERTY INTO OUR CORPORATE CITY LIMITS. IT WAS AND STILL IS CONTEMPLATED FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USE. THIS FOLLOWS OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATION AND PLANNING GOING INTO THIS, AND ZONING IS ESSENTIALLY THE FIRST STEP TO GETTING THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT GOING. COMMISSIONERS, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION. IN THE LETTER OF INTENT. IT MENTIONS HAZARDOUS AND EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD ELABORATE MORE ON WHAT TYPE OF MATERIALS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD WHEN ADDRESSING THE COMMISSION. OH, THERE WE GO.
[00:05:09]
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS IRENE CHOI, AND I'M A PROJECT LEAD AT BUILD BLOCK. WE'RE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING THIS PROPERTY, AND THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY MANUFACTURING OF THE HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS. IT'S JUST GOING TO BE STORING UP, AND WE'RE TAKING CARE OF IT. ABIDING BY THE LAW AND THE CODE. AND WE'RE DEALING WE'RE CONSULTING WITH THE FIRE AND ALL THE HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL CONSULTANTS AND EVERYTHING'S BEING TAKEN CARE OF. THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY LEAKS. WE'RE JUST STORING OF THE CHEMICALS. WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE LIST OF THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, AND WE WILL SUBMIT THOSE TO THE CITY. IF ONCE WE HAVE A FINAL LIST. SO TO PROVIDE A BIT MORE CONTEXT FOR THAT, THEY HAVE PROVIDED THE LIST OF HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS AND MATERIALS ON SITE TO OUR TRAVIS COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT FOR THEIR REVIEW. AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THAT WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB, AND THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT CURRENTLY. IS THAT INCLUDED IN OUR BACKUP OR IS THAT NOT BEEN PROVIDED TO THE CITY OF MANOR? IT WAS SENT TO US, BUT THAT'S MORE ON THE ACTUAL SITE DEVELOPMENT SIDE, WHEREAS THIS IS ZONING. SO EVEN IF THEY CAN'T DO IT, THE ZONING WOULD ALLOW THEM TO DO THE INDUSTRIAL USE. OKAY. IF WE HAVE WE HAVE A SPEAKER WHO'S WHO WANTS TO SPEAK. I CAN'T I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK PRESUMPTUOUSLY, BUT WE HAVE A SPEAKER WHO PROBABLY WILL SPEAK HERE IN A MOMENT IN THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE'RE IN. AND I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE ZONING FROM THE REQUEST IS TO RECOMMEND REZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL, WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW EXPLOSIVE, FLAMMABLE. AND FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS ON SITE. BUT THIS WOULD ALLOW IN TO WOULD ALLOW THE STORAGE OF THAT. SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY WE DON'T HAVE THAT LIST OF CHEMICALS PROVIDED TO US AS WE MAKE A DECISION THAT COULD OPEN THE DOOR. GREEN LIGHT STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVE OR FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS, AS STATED IN THE BACKUP IN THE LETTER OF INTENT. CAN YOU DETAIL WHAT THOSE CHEMICALS ARE? THANK YOU.SO WE DO HAVE A LIST OF THE CHEMICALS. IF ANYTHING, IF THERE'S ANY CHANGES TO THE LIST, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE NARROWED DOWN. THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY ADDITIONAL HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS AT ALL. IT MIGHT EVEN BE THAT WE CAN THE LIST BE PROVIDED TO THE COMMISSION RIGHT NOW? RIGHT NOW I COULD LOOK I COULD PULL IT UP IN A FEW MINUTES, BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING. THIS IS A THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUSINESS ITEM AFTER THIS. MOST LIKELY A PUBLIC HEARING. I CAN PROVIDE THAT TO YOU. SO WE NEED THAT TO MAKE A PROPER DECISION. THANK YOU. IF I MAY, IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTE THERE ARE HEAVY STIPULATIONS AROUND WHAT CAN BE STORED AND HOW IT'S STORED, AND IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO SO IN A SAFE MANNER WITH THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS, IT WON'T BE ALLOWED. AND THAT'S NOT JUST THE CITY STANDARD. THAT'S A LIFE SAFETY STANDARD ALSO ENFORCED BY FIRE. THAT'S WHY IT'S BEEN SO LONG GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING THIS APPROVED. YEAH. CAN I ASK A QUESTION? THE MAP I'M TRYING TO PICTURE WHERE THIS IS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OLD HIGHWAY 20 AND KIMBRO KIND OF GO ON BOTH SIDES OF 290. IS THIS A SHADOW GLEN SIDE OR IS THIS THE LIKE BELL FARMS, CARRIAGE HILLS SIDE. THE EAST SIDE. OKAY. LET'S TALK IN GENERAL TERMS. OKAY. LEFT OR RIGHT? OH, SORRY. IT'S ON THE LEFT SIDE OF KIMBRO. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE MAYNARD COMMERCIAL PARK IS? IT'S ON THE H FITNESS SIDE. SO THAT'S A BIT FAR AWAY FROM THIS SITE, BUT YEAH. YEAH, BUT IT'S ON THE SAME SIDE OF 290 AS IT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 290. YES. AND IT'S FURTHER DOWN. RIGHT. BECAUSE I LIVE OFF OLD HIGHWAY 20. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO ADDRESS THE BOARD MEMBERS OF SCOTT JONES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY AND THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE JUST ADJACENT OVER IN THE MAYNARD COMMERCIAL PARK. THEY HAVE SIMILAR USES THAT HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF CHEMICALS BEING STORED. AND WHAT MATERIALS IS A SAMSUNG VENDOR. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE THEY'RE STORING, CLEANING, PROCESSING CHEMICALS THAT ARE GOING TO BE USED FOR THE CLEANING OF THE CHIPS THAT ARE USED BY SAMSUNG. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM FOR, YOU KNOW, OVER A YEAR NOW PROBABLY, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING A $46 MILLION PLANT EXPANSION AND PRODUCING. THEY'VE GOT I'VE GOT DRAWINGS OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD AND THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD A LAB AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS, NOT JUST THE STORAGE OF, OF MATERIALS, BUT A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DEVELOPED ON THAT PROPERTY AS WELL. AND THEY'RE PLANNING ON BRINGING A COUPLE OF OTHER OF THEIR NOT JUST MATERIALS, BUT A COUPLE OF OTHER THEIR, THEIR SISTER COMPANIES TO THAT PROPERTY AS WELL LATER ON. THANK YOU, MR. JONES. I HAVE A QUESTION. IS THIS THIS IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM ERGON TOO, RIGHT.
ERGON. THE CONCRETE, THE BIG. THIS IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THAT. YES. OKAY. YEAH, I CAN SPEAK. I LIVE NEAR THERE. WE ALREADY HAVE ISSUES WITH AIR QUALITY OVER THERE BECAUSE OF
[00:10:06]
THE ERGON AND THE STUFF THAT THEY DO, THE CLEANING, LIKE THEIR CONCRETE PAVEMENT COMPANY.SO THERE'S ALREADY LIKE A REDUCED AIR QUALITY, I WOULD SAY OVER THERE. AND THERE'S A SMELL IN THE AIR THAT THAT DOES EXIST FROM ERGON, WHICH I KNOW IS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. SO YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE BUT IT IS ALREADY THERE. RIGHT. SO I WOULD BE HESITANT TO WANT SOMETHING MORE CHEMICALS THERE. RIGHT. OR ANYTHING. I'LL ALSO REMIND YOU ALL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN, THE ENTIRE AREA DOWN THERE, WHICH INCLUDES THE 263 ACRES THAT HANS LASER TECHNOLOGY BOUGHT, THAT'S THE KIND OF THE GRAY AREA DOWN HERE. THIS ENTIRE AREA DOWN BY THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND EASTWARD IS ALL PLANNED FOR EMPLOYMENT CENTER, WHICH IS GOING TO BE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USE IS THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE CITY. SO ALL THAT AREA DOWN THERE ON OLD KIMBRO ROAD AND ALL THAT EASTWARD IS PLANNED TO BE INDUSTRIAL AREA. SO THAT'S THAT'S ALREADY IN THE CITY'S MASTER PLAN. AND WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT THE WHOLE CITY'S PLANNING FOR. SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF I COULDN'T AGREE WITH THAT. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE PLAN TO DO. AND THAT WAS IN THE CITY'S MASTER PLAN THAT WAS PASSED TWO YEARS AGO. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT LOOKING AT THE ZONING MAPS THAT THAT THAT PARCEL THERE, THAT'S JUST NORTH OF IT, IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN AT THE TOP IS ZONED IN ONE, WHICH IS A LOWER LEVEL ZONING THAN IN TWO. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING, THAT SOME OF THE ITEMS ARE HAZARDOUS ITEMS THAT ARE ALLOWED IN ITEM TWO ARE NOT IN IN ONE. SO THIS WOULD BE AN INCREASE IN THE TYPE OF USE.
CAN I SPEAK NOW? ONE SECOND. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION NOW IS HERE NOW THAT THESE WONDERFUL COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE HEARD, CAN THEY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO SPEAK? CHAIR AND COMMISSION MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. IT IS AT YOUR DISCRETION. OKAY. SINCE THEY WERE CALLED OUT AND THEY HAVE HAD NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY, YOU HAVE NOT CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING? YES. ALL RIGHT. MISS, MISS DUNBAR AND MR. DONAHUE, I'M GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK ONE.
JUST BECAUSE WHEN I GOT ON HERE, I'M ALL ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. AND SO I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS TO ASK. BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD YOUR QUESTIONS, I WOULD BE ADVISED TO ASK YOUR QUESTIONS. AND SO THAT WAY, YOU KNOW THE PERSON IS HERE TO HEAR YOUR QUESTIONS. MR. DONAHUE, YOU CAN COME UP AND SPEAK. WE JUST NEED YOU TO STATE YOUR NAME. WHEN YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME WHEN YOU GET UP HERE. VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ALL ARE SAYING. NO. OKAY. I LIVE JUST SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, WHERE IT SPLITS OFF INTO TWO. THAT'S ME JUST BELOW THAT. AND YOU SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS. I'M AT A LOWER LEVEL.
IF THERE'S GOING TO BE RUNOFF, I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT. NOW I HAVE MY PLACE UP FOR SALE. ONCE I SELL, I COULD CARE LESS WHAT THEY HAVE OVER THERE, BUT WHILE I'M THERE, I'M GOING TO BE VERY CONCERNED AS TO WHAT KIND OF CHEMICALS THEY I WANT TO KNOW WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S EXPLOSIVE AND THE CARCINOGENIC. THAT'S MY HOME. SO UNTIL THEY KIND OF EXPLAINED TO ME. I'M IN OPPOSITION. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, I'M, I'M I'M READY TO SELL AND GET IT THE HECK OUT OF THERE. BUT UNTIL I DO, OR MAYBE THEY WOULD LIKE TO BUY MY PROPERTY SO I CAN GET THE HECK OUT OF THERE. BUT DOES ANYBODY HAVE A LIST OF THE CHEMICALS THEY'RE GOING TO BE USING? SO UNFORTUNATELY, MR. DONAHUE, WE CAN'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL WE CAN DO IS LISTEN TO YOUR QUESTIONS AND HOPEFULLY THEY CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION FOR YOU. OKAY, I AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, UNTIL I GET A LIST OF WHAT CHEMICALS THEY'RE PLANNING ON USING AND HOW THEY'RE PLANNING ON USING THEM. I'M IN OPPOSITION. LIKE I SAY,
[00:15:07]
THAT'S MY HOME AND I DON'T WANT ANYBODY INVADING IT. I USED A LOT OF CHEMICALS IN THE WORK I USED TO DO, TOO, SO I KNOW WHAT'S COMING DOWN. YEAH. MR. DONAHUE, COULD YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS BRENNA NORTON. DONAHUE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. DONAHUE. OKAY. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. MISS ANGELA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? AND AGAIN, JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR US. MY NAME IS ANGELIA DUNBAR. I REPRESENT THE DONAHUES. AND ALSO MR. DARRYL GLOVER. MR. GLOVER, MR. DARRYL. ANYWAY, I REPRESENT TWO PROPERTIES, SO THE CONCERN IS DEFINITELY THE CHEMICALS. A BEING A VETERAN, AGENT ORANGE EXPOSED HIGH CONCERNS OF WHAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE. WE WANT TO SEE A LIST BEFORE WE CAN AGREE, BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF SENIORS LIVING IN THAT AREA, SO THAT'S A BIG CONCERN. WE HAVEN'T SEEN OR HEARD OF ANY TRAFFIC STUDY TAKING PLACE, SO WE CAN KNOW HOW THAT WOULD AFFECT THEIR IN AND OUT, BECAUSE IT IS A SMALL ROAD AND IT'S NARROW ALREADY WITH PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT. AND IF THERE'S HEAVY EQUIPMENT, A LOT OF EMPLOYEES, WE'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT AS WELL. SO AT THIS TIME WE OPPOSE OF THAT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS. THAT'S ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR. AGENDA ITEM. PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER ONE. COMMISSIONER, I MOVE WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM ONE. I HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER STETSON. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. I HAVE A COMMOTION. A MOTION FOR COMMISSIONER LEONARD. ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED? MOVING ON. PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER TWO, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON A SUBDIVISION. PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR MAYNARD. COMMENTS. NORTHEAST COMMERCIAL BEING 19 LOTS ON 31.889 ACRES, MORE OR LESS. AND BEING LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF US HIGHWAY 290 AND FM 973. MAYNARD, TEXAS. MR. YES. SO THIS IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE MAYNARD NORTHEAST COMMERCIAL PORTION. WE HAD A REZONING COME THROUGH HERE TO CORRECT A DISCREPANCY IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE LOT THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY ZONED.THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING STEPS OF SUBDIVIDING THE LOTS FOR THE DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL PARCELS.
MIKE. AM I UNDERSTANDING IT CORRECTLY THAT NONE OF THESE PLATTED LOTS ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO REQUIRE A PLAZA? THERE ARE CERTAIN STIPULATIONS AROUND WHAT REQUIRES A PLAZA. THERE'S AN ACREAGE REQUIREMENT, AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF STRUCTURES ON IT. STRUCTURES BEING BUILDINGS, I BELIEVE THE ACREAGE REQUIREMENT IS TEN ACRES. I'D HAVE TO LOOK INTO OUR CODE SPECIFICALLY TO SPECIFY THAT, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE A MINIMUM FOUR DIFFERENT BUILDINGS. AND IS THAT 19 ACRES PER LOT OR 19 ACRES TOTAL? I'M SORRY, IS THAT TEN ACRES TOTAL OR TEN ACRES PER LOT? IT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF TEN ACRES WOULD NECESSITATE THAT. SO ANYTHING OVER TEN ACRES, PERIOD? YES. AND IT WOULDN'T. WELL, THE CODES RECOMMENDS OR ENCOURAGES A PLAZA. SO IT'S NOT LIKE IF YOU HAVE 710 ACRE TRACTS NEXT TO EACH OTHER, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WOULD HAVE A PLAZA. BUT IT DOES ENCOURAGE THE INCLUSION OF ONE. THEN WHY ARE WE NOT GETTING THOSE? BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THEM. MAYBE SOME ARE COMING WITH HEB, BUT I WOULD SAY WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THOSE PLAZAS SO FAR. AS MUCH AS I WOULD LOVE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, IT DOES NOT PERTAIN TO THE PRELIMINARY PLAT. AND I'M SORRY, THAT'S NOT THE ANSWER YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. CAN YOU SPEAK TO COMMISSIONERS? I DO HAVE A MR. FLOYD JACKSON. THIS IS HE WAS REQUESTING TO SPEAK FOR A REGULAR AGENDA, ITEM NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS THIS ONE? MR. JACKSON, YOU HAVE ANYTHING?
[00:20:06]
HELLO. MY NAME IS FLOYD JACKSON, AND I LIVE ON MAXAR DRIVE. RIGHT WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE. THAT INTERSECTION COME THROUGH CURRENTLY WHEN IT RAINS. IT'S ABOUT A WEEK OF WATER JUST SITTING THERE. ARE THEY GOING TO PLANT ANY TYPE OF RUNOFF OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WITH THAT AREA RIGHT THERE? BECAUSE RIGHT WHERE IT DEAD ENDS ON MARINE DRIVE ACTUALLY. MATTER OF FACT, I THINK IT. MY HOUSE IS RIGHT THERE. SO TO SPEAK. YOU'RE GOING TO COME RIGHT BY MY PROPERTY CURRENTLY IN THE GREEN. THERE'S AT LEAST A WEEK OF STANDING WATER THAT SITS THERE. AND I'M JUST WONDERING, ANYTHING ON THE PLANNING ON THAT SIDE OF THINGS WITH THAT STREET COMING THROUGH? ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT CAN TALK ABOUT IT FROM THERE AT THIS TIME? MR. JACKSON, WE CAN'T AGAIN ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. BUT WHEN WE DO GET TO THE BUSINESS ITEMS, WE CAN START ASKING YOUR QUESTIONS FOR YOU. OKAY? YES, SIR. ALSO, HAVING BEEN KNOWN WHAT TYPE OF BUILDINGS OR DEVELOPMENTS THAT'S COMING THERE, DOES ANYBODY KNOW THAT AS OF YET? AT THIS POINT, MR. JACKSON, WE CAN'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL WE CAN DO IS LISTEN. YES, SIR. I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY, COMMISSIONERS. THAT'S. MR. JACKSON WAS THE LAST ONE. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? NUMBER TWO, I MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO. I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LEONARD. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MYERS. ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.OPPOSED? MOVING ON. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ON CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS
[CONSENT AGENDA]
ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SELF-EXPLANATORY BY THE PNC COMMISSION AND WILL BE ENACTED WITH ONE MOTION. THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSIONS OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS REQUESTED BY THE CHAIR OR A COMMISSIONER, IN WHICH EVENT THE ITEMS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS AND CONSIDER CONSIDERED SEPARATELY. CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE. CONSIDER DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 12TH, 2025 FOR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR SESSION. I MOVE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER STETSON. I'LL SECOND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER LEONARD. ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. MOVING ON TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM. CONSIDER[REGULAR AGENDA]
CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON REZONING APPLICATION FOR TWO LOTS ON 23.809 ACRES, MORE OR LESS. AND BEING LOCATED AT ONE, TWO, FIVE, TWO, TWO AND 125424. OH KIMBRO ROAD, MAYNARD, TEXAS. FROM AGRICULTURE TO IRON DASH TWO HEAVY INDUSTRIAL STAFF. THIS IS THE ZONING ITEM THAT WE WERE REFERENCING PRIOR. AND PARDON ME WHILE I PULL UP MY NOTES FROM QUESTIONS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY ASKED REGARDING A TIA BEING COMPLETED. IT'S BASED ON TRIPS GENERATED AND OUR THRESHOLD IS 2000 TRIPS PER DAY. IF, SIR, AM I TOO LOW OR AM I TOO BOOMY? I'M SORRY, IS IT? IS IT BETTER IF I PULL THE MIC AWAY FROM MY FACE? YEAH, I CAN HEAR YOU BETTER NOW.[00:25:03]
YES, SIR. SO, PERTAINING TO A TIA, WE HAVE A MINIMUM TRIP THRESHOLD OF 2000 TRIPS PER DAY.IF THEY HAVE MORE THAN 2000 TRIPS A DAY, A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS IS CONDUCTED. THIS IS DURING THE TIME OF SITE PLAN, AND THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO WHATEVER TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THAT STUDY. NOW, AS FOR DRAINAGE AND RUNOFF, WE FOLLOW AUSTIN'S DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL AND THEY HAVE VERY STRICT REGULATIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN HAVE LEAVE YOUR PROPERTY. IN FACT, YOU CANNOT CONVEY MORE FLOW THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTING. SO REGARDING RUNOFF OR ADDITIONAL WATER GOING ONTO THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES, IT SHOULD NOT INCREASE BASED ON THE CRITERIA SET BEFORE THEM. AS FOR THE CHEMICAL LIST, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PROVIDE. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAMILIAR EVERYONE IS WITH THESE DIFFERENT CHEMICALS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IRENE WAS ABLE TO PULL IT UP OR IF ANYTHING, WE CAN ATTACH IT TO THE MINUTES AFTER THIS MEETING.
SO WE'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL OF THE PUBLIC TO REVIEW, AS WELL AS OUR COMMISSIONERS. AND PLEASE REMIND ME IF I'M FORGETTING ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED SO I CAN ADDRESS THEM. WERE YOU ABLE TO HEAR ME PROPERLY, SIR? A LITTLE BETTER, BUT LIKE I SAID, I'M CONCERNED ONLY WITH MY HEALTH. I'M IN BAD SHAPE AS IT IS. I DON'T NEED ANY MORE CHEMICALS ON ME. YES, SIR. SO IS THERE ANY CHEMICAL THAT IS GOING TO BE LEACHED INTO THE AIR, OR WHERE THESE CHEMICALS ARE GOING TO GO AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE USED? BUT LIKE I SAID, IF I MOVE, I DON'T CARE. BUT AS LONG AS I'M NOT DELICIOUS. ALL RIGHT, MR. DONOGHUE, UNFORTUNATELY, WE CANNOT ALLOW ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR. BUT I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU. I CAN PROVIDE MORE CONTEXT FOR ANY POTENTIAL QUESTIONS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ASKED. IN TERMS OF CHEMICAL STORAGE, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S PURELY STORAGE, NOT MANUFACTURING OR. RELEASE AND TRAP. AND TO THAT POINT, OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ALSO MADE A VERY STRONG STANCE THAT HE DOES NOT WANT TO TREAT ANY WATER THAT IS FULL OF CHEMICALS BECAUSE IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. IT TAKES A LOT OF WATER, AND IT'S NOT AN ENDEAVOR THE CITY WANTS TO PURSUE. SO IN TERMS OF IT BEING FILTERED OUT SOME OTHER WAY, THAT'S NOT ENVIRONMENTALLY OR WATER CAPACITY FRIENDLY.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE ARE ALREADY WORKING THROUGH BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THAT. MISS, MISS. MR. DUNLAP, YOU CAN'T. I'M SORRY. YOU CAN'T SPEAK ANYTHING. I CAN GET YOU MY CARD AFTER THIS MEETING SO WE CAN COMMUNICATE OUTSIDE. COMMISSIONERS, YOU HAVE ANYTHING? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MISS TROY. WERE YOU ABLE TO FIND THAT CHEMICAL LIST? AND ARE YOU ABLE TO AT LEAST TOUCH ON SOME OF THOSE? THE PRIMARY. NO. MISS TROY, PLEASE STEP UP. SO MICHAELS SHOULD HAVE THE LIST OF THE CHEMICALS. BEAU JUST SENT IT TO YOU, SO IT SHOULD BE IN YOUR EMAIL. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO SHARE IT WITH YOU RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE STANDING HERE AND I ASKED YOU A QUESTION. CAN YOU PLEASE RESPOND TO THE QUESTION I ASKED? I'M GOING TO BE CONSIDERING A RECOMMENDATION FOR REZONING, AND I AM PERSONALLY ON THE FENCE AS COMMISSIONER TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO REZONE YOUR PROPERTY AS YOU ASKED. OKAY. SO DO YOU HAVE THAT LIST OF CHEMICALS THAT YOU CAN READ INTO THE MICROPHONE THAT YOU'RE STANDING AT? OH READ IT. YES, PLEASE. THANK YOU. LET ME JUST GO GRAB MY PHONE. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT? YEAH. JUST WHILE SHE'S DOING THAT.
THIS IS DISCRETIONARY. JUST SO WE KNOW. I'M FULLY AWARE. YEAH. OKAY. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS. WE CAN MOVE IT. SO AS A COMMISSION WE CAN WE CAN RECOMMEND A RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO DENY THE ZONING REQUEST. WE CAN RECOMMEND TO REDUCE THE ZONING REQUEST TO INDUSTRIAL ONE. WE CAN RECOMMEND IT TO INDUSTRIAL TWO AS REQUESTED. OR WE COULD POSTPONE. SO JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THE LAY OF THE LAND HERE OF WHERE THIS IS, OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THIS RIGHT NOW. SURE. SO WE HAVE 76 CHEMICALS LISTED ON THE LIST. OKAY. I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL OF THOSE, BUT I CAN READ IT TO YOU. WHAT'S CONSIDERED AS HAZARDOUS. THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW WHAT EACH OF THE LETTERS STAND FOR, SO I'LL JUST READ OUT THE LETTERS. SO THE FIRST ONE IS AE2, SECOND ONE IS N2O4. THIRD ONE IS C2H6, FOURTH IS 15% OF CH3, H2 NUMBER FIVE IS C, C4, NUMBER SIX IS 10% OF G, H4 DASH H2 SEVEN IS C4, F EIGHT, NUMBER EIGHT IS H2, F2.
NUMBER NINE IS C3H6 SO THOSE ARE WHAT'S CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS. HAZARDOUS OKAY. EXACTLY. THESE WOULD BE LARGELY BE THE INTENT IS TO STORE THESE AT THIS FACILITY AND TRANSPORT THESE TO YOUR CLIENT. MOST LIKELY THE SAMSUNG PLANTS AT EITHER IN AUSTIN OR IN TAYLOR, AS WE'RE
[00:30:06]
KIND OF AT THE APEX OF THE OF THAT BACKWARD L IS THAT CORRECT? YES. SO THEY WILL BE IMPORTING THE GAS FROM SOUTH KOREA, WHERE THE CLIENTS ARE FROM, AND THEY'LL BE STORING THE GAS IN GAS CYLINDERS. SO THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY OF TAKING THE GAS OUT OF THE CYLINDERS OR WHAT. AND THEN THEY'RE BRINGING THE CYLINDERS TO SUPPLYING IT TO SAMSUNG, WHERE THEY'LL BE MAKING SEMICONDUCTORS WITH THOSE GASES. SO HERE'S WHAT I RECOMMEND. WE JUST LIKE WROTE THOSE DOWN IN GOOGLE. LIKE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE RESEARCH THAT WE NEED TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION IS MY OPINION. AND SO I THINK POSTPONING WOULD MAKE THE MOST SENSE SO THAT WE CAN DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE. LOOK AT THESE CHEMICALS. LOOK AT WHAT THEY MEAN. YOU KNOW, GET THE LETTER FROM MICHAEL WITH THE LIST SO THAT WE CAN HAVE TIME TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH. JUST FOR THE RECORD, YOU SENT US THE LETTER OF INTENT ON AUGUST 6TH OF 2024. THAT WAS MORE THAN SEVEN MONTHS AGO. THE LIST, PER MICHAEL BURRELL WAS PROVIDED TO EMS YESTERDAY. IS THAT CORRECT OR DSD 12? NO, THEY HAD REVIEWED IT PREVIOUSLY. YOU HAD IT YESTERDAY. THIS WAS SENT SOME TIME AGO. BUT MY THOUGHT PROCESS IS OKAY. NO ONE WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ACTUAL CHEMICALS WERE.SO TO PROVIDE THE WELCOME TO THE NEW COMMISSION. WE ARE NOT MAKING DECISIONS BASED OFF OF JUST PLATITUDES BEING MADE HERE AT THE COMMISSION. I'M SORRY, I JUST I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE MAKING THAT DECISION THAT'S GOING TO HAVE DECADES OF EFFECTS ON OUR COMMUNITY. WHETHER AND I AGREE, I UNDERSTAND ONCE YOU LEAVE, WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS. BUT I MAKE SURE THAT I DON'T HAVE A PLUME OF SMOKE HAPPENING BEHIND ME. AS I LEAVE A COMMUNITY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY I'M IN IS BETTER WHEN I LEAVE IT THAN WHEN I GOT HERE. AND SO I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE. IS THIS GOING? I'M MR. MR. JONES DOES US ASKING FOR A MONTH TO REVIEW THIS LIST IMPACT ANYTHING ON THE OTHER ELEMENTS OF THIS THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON AS FAR AS POSSIBLY HALTING THIS PROCESS? I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SINCE 2023. HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO ASK HER? ABOUT WHAT? CONSTRUCTION. YEAH, WELL, SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTING ANYTHING ABOUT AGRICULTURAL AT THIS POINT. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS THAT WARNOCK HAS IN IN PLACE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO GET THEM ANNEXED AND GET THEM ZONED AND GET THEM PREPARED FOR THEIR CONSTRUCTION. OKAY. SORRY, SORRY. OKAY. DO YOU KNOW DO YOU KNOW FURTHER ABOUT THEIR CONSTRUCTION PLANS? IF A MONTH WILL IMPACT THEIR CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE, MUCH LIKE. WELL, SHE SAID MOST LIKELY. BUT THEY'VE BEEN ON A PRETTY QUICK TIMELINE TO TRY TO GET CONSTRUCTION STARTED OUT THERE EVER SINCE WE HAVE HAD SOME DELAYS IN TRYING TO GET UTILITIES TO THEM. WE'VE HAD QUITE A FEW DELAYS IN TRYING TO GET THEM ANNEXED. WE'VE HAD ABOUT THREE MONTHS TRYING TO GET THEM ANNEXED. YEAH, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY. WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD TO BUY PROPERTY IN BETWEEN THE ANNEXED PROPERTIES AND THEIR TRACT TO TRY TO GET THEM ANNEXED, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T CONTIGUOUS BEFORE. SO WE'VE BEEN TRYING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET THEM TO, TO BE ANNEXED. AND NOW WE'VE GOTTEN THE ANNEXATION. AND SO WE'RE TO THAT POINT, YOU KNOW, TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT CHEMICALS. I KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH FIRE CONTROL. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, DO EVERYTHING THAT THAT TRAVIS COUNTY, SD 12 REQUIRES OF THEM FOR, YOU KNOW, THE MITIGATION OF ANY TYPES OF PROBLEMS OR ANYTHING OUT THERE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE STORING, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, ANYTHING THAT'S NOT BEING STORED AROUND US ANYWAY, BECAUSE WE HAVE A COUPLE OF BUSINESSES JUST OVER TO THE EAST OF THEM THAT, THAT THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, THAT CURRENTLY ARE VENDORS OF THE CURRENT PLANTS, MANUFACTURERS AND SUCH IN THE AREA ALREADY. SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY TYPE OF MATERIALS THAT ARE OUT OF THE ORDINARY OR ANYTHING THAT AREN'T ALREADY IN CLOSE TO THE CITY OF MAIN, OR MAYBE IN THE ETJ, BUT CLOSE TO THE CITY OF MAIN ARE RIGHT NOW. SO, YOU KNOW, TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN PUSH THE PROJECT FORWARD, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO I'M, I'M HERE TO HELP OUT WHERE I CAN. THANK YOU, MR. JONES. AND I GUESS FOR THE RECORD, TOO, I DO AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER STETSON. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WHEN WE GET ON THIS COMMISSION, WE'RE HERE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE WORK WITH MR. SCOTT ON ON STUFF TO MAKE SURE IT GETS PASSED. BUT I DO WANT THE SAFETY FOR MY FOR MY COMMUNITY COMMISSIONERS. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU
[00:35:02]
MISS. SO HOW MANY EMPLOYEES. OH, SORRY. YOU COME BACK IN. HOW MANY EMPLOYEES? THAT'S CORRECT.I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY AT THIS MOMENT, BUT AT THIS FACILITY. RIGHT? CORRECT. YES. THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE AROUND. NOT EXACTLY SURE, BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE A PROBABLY AROUND 100.
THANKS. MAY I ALSO ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. SO I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT WE ARE GOING TO ABIDE WITH THE CODE OF FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY OF MAYNOR. AND WE HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BILL POST, AND WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY COMMUNICATING WITH THE FIRE CONSULTANTS, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, USD 12, TO BE SPECIFIC AND TO ADD TO THE BENEFITS OF THE CITY OF MAYNOR. WE ARE ALSO DEVELOPING THE ROAD BENEATH OURS, WHICH IS GOING TO BENEFIT YOUR FUTURE PLAN OVERALL. SO I THINK IF WE GET TO DEVELOP OUR SITE, THE FASTER WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO THE ROAD THAT'S GETTING DEVELOPED ADJACENT TO OUR PROPERTY. SO WE WILL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE THAT WE FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS. AND ONCE WE AS I'VE PROVIDED THE LIST, I CAN ALSO SHARE THE LIST, THE GAS LIST WITH YOU GUYS. BUT WE CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO CONCERN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS, WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? I WOULD. BE INTERESTED IN ENTERTAINING A MOTION TO ZONE IT IN ONE, WHICH IS THE SAME ZONING AS THE NEAREST ZONED INDUSTRIAL USE. AND I'M UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING, IS THAT WAS CONNECTED BY ANNEXATION OR PURCHASE OF PROPERTY TO ANNEX. SO. SINCE THAT I ONE THAT'S THAT'S INSTITUTIONAL. I'M AIMING NOT IN IOWA BUT IN. ONE IS EXISTING THERE ALREADY AND IS ON A LOWER ZONING LEVEL. I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ZONE THIS PROPERTY. I IN ONE. DOES IN ONE.
MR. BURRELL ALLOW FOR THE PROPOSED USES TO CONTINUE OR DOES IT ARE THERE IS IT IN TWO ONLY GOING TO ALLOW THAT? I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WHICH USE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE SPECIFIC TO THIS APPLICATION OR LIE. IT MAY BE BENEFICIAL FOR IRENE TO DETAIL WHAT EXACTLY, ASIDE FROM CHIPS AND CLEANING IS GOING ON HERE. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF THERE IS ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, EVEN IF OF STORING, WE STILL HAVE TO GO WITH IN TWO BECAUSE I ONE DOESN'T ALLOW ANY OF THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TO BE STORED. SO THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE ACTUAL INTENT OF THIS FACILITY, NOT THE CHEMICALS USED, BUT WHAT IS BEING DONE HERE? WHAT IS THE WHAT IS THE PERMITTED USE OR WHAT IS THE USE THAT'S PLANNED HERE. SO IN THE PLAN DRAWINGS, WE THERE ARE GOING TO BE OFFICES. THERE'S GOING TO BE EMPLOYEES FROM KOREA. AND THAT ONE HIRES AND THERE ARE GOING TO BE AGAIN SUPPLYING TO SAMSUNG FOR THE SEMICONDUCTORS LIKE ELECTRONICS, TELEPHONES THAT WE USE. AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ALLOW AND HELP THEM SUPPORT THE SUPPLY OF. MR. SCOTT, YOU HAVE SOMETHING. YEAH. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T SEE AT THIS FACILITY THAT YOU WILL SEE AT THE OTHER GAS AND GAS AND MATERIAL STORAGE FACILITIES IN MAIN OR COMMERCIAL PARK IS YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF OUTDOOR STORAGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN PLAIN VIEW, OUTDOOR, YOU KNOW, JUST BEHIND A FENCE. AND THESE ARE CONTAINED AND THEY'RE INSIDE AND THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE WELL SECURED. SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF OUTDOOR STORAGE OF, OF CYLINDERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT SEEN FROM THE STREET. AND IT'S A MUCH SAFER ATMOSPHERE. THANK YOU. MR. SCOTT. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR MISS IRENE. I NOTICED THAT, COMMISSIONER, THE CHAIR ASKED YOU HOW MANY EMPLOYEES AND YOU SAID ABOUT 100, AND THEN YOU JUST STATED THAT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
[00:40:04]
PEOPLE COME IN AND BE EMPLOYEES. SO DOES THAT MEAN WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HIRE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY? OH, NO, FOR SURE THERE WILL BE. I JUST SAID AROUND 100, BUT BASED ON HOW MANY OFFICES AND HOW BIG THE SITE IS, AND THEY'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO HIRE PEOPLE FROM THE STATES AND AROUND TEXAS. REMAINER. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YOU'RE ACTUALLY PLANNING ON PAYING THEM BETTER THAN A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'LL BE A GOOD THING. THIS THIS BUILDING THAT'S IN THE EXHIBIT THAT'S IN PHASE ONE. AND THEN WE HAVE MULTIPLE BUILDINGS THAT ARE BEING PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE. AND THE AGENDA ITEM HERE IS FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES ALL THREE PHASES. THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. AND SO AS A PART OF PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE, WHAT WOULD BE THE USES OF THOSE FACILITIES. THE I'VE TALKED TO MANAGEMENT AND THEY'RE PLANNING ON POTENTIALLY BRINGING OTHER SISTER COMPANIES. WARNOCK HAS 13 DIFFERENT SISTER COMPANIES. AND SO THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT BRINGING SOME OF THEIR OTHER SISTER ORGANIZATIONS HERE. WE DON'T KNOW WHICH ONES YET. ONE AT Q AND C WAS ONE OF THEM. WE DIDN'T REALLY CARE FOR ONE AT Q AND C BECAUSE THEY'RE A HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USER OF WATER AND WASTEWATER. AND SO THEY'VE LOCATED TO ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY. WE WERE KIND OF GLAD OF THAT.BUT THEY HAVE SOME OTHER SISTER COMPANIES WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE HERE. AND SO WE'RE TALKING TO WANTED WANTING MANAGEMENT AND CHRIS MCGRATH ESPECIALLY ABOUT THAT. AND SO WE'D HOPE TO SEE THEM. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT LOOKING AT MORE PROPERTY HERE AS WELL TO PURCHASE. SO WE'RE WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS PROJECT WILL GO WELL AND THEY'LL BUY ADDITIONAL PROPERTY HERE AND DO MORE DEVELOPMENT. AND SO WHAT'S YOUR FOR THOSE PHASES? WELL, WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT AFTER THIS PROJECT, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO START LATE 25 OR EARLY 26, DEPENDING ON SAMSUNG, WAS PUSHED BACK A YEAR. AND SO THEIR PLANS HAVE BEEN PUSHED BACK A LITTLE BIT. BUT WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT ANOTHER YEAR, MAYBE 2027, THEY MIGHT BRING THOSE OTHER SISTER COMPANIES ON AND IT MIGHT BE AS MUCH AS $100 MILLION IN IN CAPITAL INVESTMENT, WHERE THIS IS A $46 MILLION PLANT, THEY MIGHT DO AS MUCH AS 100 MILLION WHERE THE NUMBERS THAT WERE THROWN OUT AT THE TIME. OKAY.
AND YOU'RE GOING ABOUT THIS IN A DESIGN BUILD, DESIGN BUILD. OKAY. SO I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE SCHEDULE THEN IF THAT'S THE CASE. SO ALL RIGHT, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THE PHASE TWO AND THREE WON'T BE REGARDING THE ADDITIONAL GAS STORAGE, BUT IT'LL BE IT'LL OPEN UP MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH ENGINEERS AND IT'LL BE MORE OFFICES. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE STATES AS WELL. I JUST I JUST READ AN ARTICLE TODAY THAT SAID THAT SAMSUNG WAS PLANNING NOW TO BE OPEN THE END OF 2026, SO WHICH WAS NEWS TO ME BECAUSE THEY HAD SAID THAT THEY MIGHT NOT BE OPEN TILL 2027, BUT I JUST READ THAT THEY HAD PUSHED THAT UP. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE SUPPLYING SAMSUNG WHEN IT'S READY TO OPEN. SO THEY'LL BE CLEANING SHIPS AS SOON AS THEY'RE OPEN. SO THEY'LL BE PUSHING TO TRY TO BE OPEN ABOUT THAT TIME AS WELL. THAT'S PERFECT THEN. SO I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE REQUESTED IN DUE TIME THEN. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE SAYING NO LESS. YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THE LESSER ZONING THAN I INTO LIKE IT'S THAT OR NOTHING. YOU CAN'T DO YOUR PLANTS. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IS THAT RIGHT? AND IN TERMS OF THE CHEMICAL STORAGE, THE YN2 WOULD BE NECESSARY. ALL RIGHT.
COMMISSIONERS, HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? I DID HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. SO YOU SAID THAT LIKE THE WAGES WOULD BE HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE. DO YOU HAVE LIKE AN AVERAGE WAGE RANGE THAT YOU COULD SHARE? THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE IN THE 70S. 70 K A YEAR AVERAGE WOULD BE THE SALARY FOR OKAY. ALL RIGHT. COMMISSIONERS, ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. SCOTT. THANK YOU IRENE.
THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL. I'M I'M LEANING TOWARDS POSTPONING BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
[00:45:04]
THE LIST OF TIME TO RESEARCH THE CHEMICALS. THAT WOULD BE THE DUE DILIGENCE. SO I HAVE A QUESTION.COMMISSIONER MYERS MADE A MOTION. IS THAT CORRECT? NO, NO. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
SORRY ABOUT THAT, COMMISSIONER. LEONARD, WHAT YOU GOT, COMMISSIONER LEONARD? YEAH. I WOULD MOVE TO POSTPONE FOR A MONTH SO THAT WE CAN DO THE RESEARCH ON THE CHEMICALS AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS CLEAN, YOU KNOW, CLEAR. AND WE CAN COMMUNICATE. HOPEFULLY, THEY COULD COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS AND THAT EXPRESS CONCERNS, AND THEY CAN WORK THROUGH THAT WHILE WE DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE ON OUR SIDE AND THEN CAN COME BACK NEXT MONTH AND PROVIDE AN INFORMED DECISION. SO I WOULD MOVE TO POSTPONE ONE MONTH. I SECOND THAT POSTPONEMENT TO THE TO THE APRIL MEETING OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. YES, I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LEONARD TO POSTPONE REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER FOUR. I HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER STETSON. I ALSO I'M SORRY, QUESTION ON THE MOTION. YES, SIR. YES. SO JUST WANT TO ENSURE WHAT DOCUMENTATION THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR, TO BE CLEAR, DELIVERED TO US, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO COMMISSIONER LEONARD'S MOTION THAT I JUST SECONDED, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE, TO SEE IF WE COULD EITHER A RECEIVE ASSURANCE FROM SD 12 LEADERSHIP OF THE OF THE COMPLIANCE AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATE AND THE SD 12 TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS STORY THAT THIS OPERATION WILL BE SAFE AND NOT HARMED THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES THAT WOULD PROVIDE ME ASSURANCE, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE THE EXPERT KNOWLEDGE THAT WE WOULD NEED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE. TELL ME IF. OKAY, CITY ATTORNEY, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO PROVIDE AS IT. PLEASE SUMMARIZE THE AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION. MY AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION IS TO POSTPONE UNTIL THE APRIL PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING TO ALLOW TIME FOR SD 12 LEADERSHIP TO PROVIDE US A LETTER EXPLAINING EXPLAINING THEIR THEIR REVIEW OF THE CHEMICAL LIST AND THEIR THEIR A SUMMARY OF THEIR THEIR RECOMMENDATION IN IN RELATION TO THE CHEMICAL LIST PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. DO DO DO YOU WANT THE LIST OF CHEMICALS ON? I WOULD LIKE THE LIST OF THEM. THE LIST OF CHEMICALS I EXPECT TO BE PROVIDED BY CITY STAFF AS WE STATED, THEY ALREADY HAVE THAT. SO THAT'S AN EXPECTATION OF CITY STAFF FOR THE NEXT AGENDA. SO IS THAT TWO AMENDMENTS? JUST THOSE TWO ARE SO JUST THOSE TWO ITEMS. SO YES, A FULL CHEMICAL LIST, ESPECIALLY WITH HIGHLIGHTING HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS PROPOSED AND A LETTER OF REVIEW FROM THE SD 12 LEADERSHIP. DO YOU ACCEPT THAT MOTION OR DO YOU ACCEPT THAT AMENDMENT? OH, DO I SECOND THE AMENDMENT. YOU ACCEPT IT AS FRIENDLY OR YOU I ACCEPT THE AMENDMENT. THANK YOU.
I MEAN A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEVLIN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER NO. AN AMENDMENT.
YEAH. SHE'S A SHE'S OKAY. SHE'S JUST. IT'S AN AMENDED MOTION. ALL RIGHT, SO ALL IN FAVOR.
RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 3 TO 1. OH. I'M SORRY. 4 TO 1. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON.
REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE. REGULAR AGENDA ITEM CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION.
AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A SUBDIVISION. PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR MAYNARD COMMONS. NORTHEAST.
COMMERCIAL BEING 19 LOTS ON 31.889 ACRES, MORE OR LESS, AND BEING LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF US HIGHWAY 290 AND FM 973. MAYNARD, TEXAS. MR. STAFF. YES. SO TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS PREVIOUSLY POSED DURING OUR PUBLIC HEARING, PARDON ME IF I'M SPEAKING TOO CLOSE TO THE MIC. CAN I BE HEARD CLEARLY? YEAH. YEAH. SO AS FOR A DRAINAGE STUDY WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT GOES ON, A DRAINAGE STUDY IS REQUIRED. YOU HAVE TO SHOW YOUR EXISTING CONDITIONS, YOUR PROPOSED DRAINAGE AND GRADING. YOU HAVE TO ESSENTIALLY SHOW THAT WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING DOES NOT CAUSE ADDITIONAL ISSUE. NOW, IF THERE IS A CURRENT ISSUE OF WATER POOLING, I CANNOT SPEAK FOR THE DEVELOPER, BUT I CAN SAY IN MY PAST EXPERIENCE, THEY ALSO DON'T WANT WATER POOLING ON THEIR ROADWAYS OR PROPERTY. SO THAT'S TYPICALLY ADDRESSED. AND AS FOR
[00:50:03]
WHAT BUSINESSES ARE GOING IN, THIS IS VERY PRELIMINARY, QUITE LITERALLY PRELIMINARY PLAT. ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. WE JUST WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO KNOW WHO'S GOING IN THERE UNTIL WE GET CLOSER TO SITE PLAN. BUT WHAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT? THIS IS A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO IT'LL BE STORES, SHOPS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE ACROSS THE STREET CURRENTLY. AND COMING UP, IT'S I THINK I COULD SPEAK FOR YOU. IT'S ZONED WE ZONED IT OR WE RECOMMENDED ZONING FOR C-1. SO IT'S LIGHT COMMERCIAL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS, THIS IS A NON-DISCRETIONARY ITEM. ALL RIGHT. HERE WE GO. I RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF ITEM FIVE. WE GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LINH. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. SECOND.COMMISSIONER MEYER, ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? MOVING ON. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON. ON DEMAND. DETENTION WAIVER. REQUEST FOR BOYD STREET. MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 101, 104, 107 AND 108 WEST BOYD STREET, MAYNARD, TEXAS. MR. STAFF. YES.
SO THIS ACTUALLY RECEIVED ENGINEER APPROVAL YESTERDAY, SO TOO LATE TO ACTUALLY INCLUDE IN THE AGENDA, BUT IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY OUR ENGINEERS THAT WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING DOES NOT INCREASE FLOWS IN A DETRIMENT TO THE PROPERTY OR THOSE AROUND IT. AND WE DO HAVE PAULINE HERE FOR FURTHER QUESTIONS, BECAUSE SHE CAN EXPLAIN THAT MUCH BETTER THAN I CAN. SO DO WE EVEN HAVE TO VOTE ON IT? SINCE THIS IS DISCRETIONARY, RIGHT. WELL, IF IT'S THIS WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED FOR, THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE POSTPONED LAST MONTH BECAUSE IT WAS A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL. IT WAS AND I BELIEVE IT'S POSTED AS A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL. IT WAS POSTPONED. I'M SORRY. IT WAS WITHDRAWN FROM THE AGENDA LAST MONTH. PAULINE. PAULINE. YOU MIGHT BE A CITY ENGINEER. YES.
THE LAST MEETING. IT WAS WORDED INCORRECTLY AND IT SAID A DRAINAGE WAIVER, WHICH BASICALLY MEANT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANY DRAINAGE. SO THIS IS JUST A DETENTION WAIVER. SO WHAT THIS DOES IS WE LOOK AT THEIR PROPOSED DRAINAGE, THEY PROVIDE ALL THESE CALCULATIONS. WE LOOKED AT IT, WE REVIEWED IT, AND THEY PROVED TO US THAT A BASICALLY A DETENTION POND IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE SITE THAT THERE FLOWS LEAVING THE SITE, THE WAY THEY'RE DESIGNING IT AND CONTROLLING IT, IT'S NOT GOING TO INCREASE THE FLOWS OFF THEIR SITE. SO WHEN THE FLOWS GET DOWN TO OLD HIGHWAY 20 FROM THEIR SITE, IT INCREASES THE DEPTH LESS THAN AN INCH OF WATER. AND SO WE WENT BACK AND FORTH. WE REVIEWED IT THREE TIMES. SOMEBODY IN A DRAINAGE DEPARTMENT WHO IS RETIRED FROM CITY OF AUSTIN, WHO DID DRAINAGE REVIEWS, REVIEWED IT VERY THOROUGHLY. HE, YOU KNOW, AND HE WAS LIKE, IT IS GOOD TO GO. IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET THE INFORMATION WE WANTED. AND BUT LIKE I SAID, WE'VE TAKEN A LOOK AT IT AND WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING WILL WORK. SO ALL THIS IS, IS JUST TO PROVE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO CONSTRUCT A DETENTION POND. THEY WILL STILL HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCT DRAINAGE TO, YOU KNOW, CONVEY THE DRAINAGE OFF THEIR SITE AND WHATNOT. BUT THIS IS JUST SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE TO CONSTRUCT A POND. MISS GRAY. YOU SAID THAT IT'S WITHIN IT OR IT'S LESS THAN AN INCH. IS AN INCH THE THRESHOLD FOR THIS OR IS IT? YES. THIS WAS WITHIN THE REASONABLE LIMITS. IT'S WITHIN REASONABLE LIMITS. YOU CAN GO HIGHER WITH THAT BASICALLY BECAUSE WE LOOKED AT IT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO CROSS OLD HIGHWAY 20 THROUGH CULVERTS AND STUFF. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE. AND SO BASICALLY WHAT HE'S YOU KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO OVERTOP THE ROAD. AND THAT'S BE LIKE AND PER CITY OF AUSTIN DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE WATER ACROSS THE ROAD AND STORM EVENTS. THAT IS ALLOWED. WE TRY TO AVOID THAT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THROUGH WATER CITIZENS. BUT BUT THAT'S WHAT WE LOOK AT. AND SO BASICALLY THAT'S WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT. AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE WATER BEING CONVEYED WOULD NOT CAUSE ANY ISSUES RIGHT THERE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO THEIR DRAINAGE IS GOING TO GO UP CALDWELL AND THEN CROSS OVER, YOU KNOW, UNDER PARSONS.
AND THERE'S EXISTING CULVERTS. SO WE MADE THEM PROVE THAT WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS NOT GOING TO LIKE CAUSE ANY ISSUES WITH THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. NOTHING NEEDS TO BE UPDATED OR ANYTHING, BUT THE WATER SHOULD, YOU KNOW, SHOULD REMAIN IN THE IN THE CITY STORM SEWER SYSTEM. IS THIS THE THREE STORY BUILDING THAT'S BEING BUILT NOW? IT'S NEXT DOOR TO THAT ONE. NEXT DOOR TO THAT ONE. OKAY, THAT'S A DIFFERENT PROJECT. YES, YES, I HAVE A QUESTION. ON THE MATERIAL PROVIDED. IT SHOWS ABOUT SIX CITY BLOCKS WORTH OF DRAINAGE THAT CONTRIBUTES. TO THIS POINT.
[00:55:11]
AND MY QUESTION IS, IS IF THOSE SIX CITY BLOCKS ARE DEVELOPED AT THE SAME INTENSITY THAT THIS ONE IS BEING DEVELOPED AT? IS THE CULVERT OR THE DRAINAGE STRUCTURES ON CALDWELL STREET GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO HANDLE THAT? WELL, WE ONLY LOOK AT THAT FOR A CASE BY CASE BASIS. SO WE JUST LOOKED AT WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT. AND BASED ON WHAT THE INFORMATION THEY PROVIDED, IT WOULD WORK. IF SOMEBODY COMES IN FURTHER UP OR SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO DO THE SAME SORT OF STUDY, AND THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO UPGRADE IT. BUT WITH THE FLOWS COMING OFF THIS SITE AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE NOT WE CAN'T MAKE THEM LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW. A LOT OF THESE ARE BASICALLY SINGLE FAMILY LOTS BEING COMBINED TO DO COMMERCIAL SITES. I CAN SAY THAT THE CITY IS IN THE PROCESS OF WE'RE IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THEM TO DO A DRAINAGE STUDY FOR OLD TOWN MAYNOR TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP WITH THE ISSUES, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A CONSTANT ISSUE BECAUSE THE CITY IS NOT LAID OUT FOR WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO CONSTRUCT NOW, WHICH IS THE COMMERCIAL AND STUFF, BECAUSE YOU'RE TAKING SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE INCREASING IT. SO LIKE I SAID, FOR THIS ONE, THE REQUIREMENT WAS JUST TO LOOK AND SEE. THEY DID CALCULATIONS SHOWING WHAT WAS UPSTREAM, BUT IT WAS BASED ON WHAT'S THERE. NOW WE CAN'T SAY, OH WELL, DESIGN THIS. IF THEY PUT IN A THREE STORY BUILDING, WE CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW. IT COULD ALWAYS STAY A HOUSE. SO THEY'RE ONLY REQUIRED TO LOOK AT HOW THEIR. PROJECT WOULD AFFECT THE FLOWS. AND LIKE I SAID, IF SOMEBODY ELSE COMES IN THEN THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS. BUT AT THIS POINT, WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DO DOESN'T NECESSITATE DOING ANY UPGRADES TO THE CITY SYSTEM OTHER THAN WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO INSTALL WITH THEIR PROJECT. RIGHT. I CAN VOUCH FOR THAT. 35 PLUS YEARS AGO, WE KNEW HOW MUCH RAIN WE GOT BECAUSE IF THE CREEK WAS ALMOST OVERFLOWING, WE KNEW HOW MUCH RAIN MAYNARD HAD BECAUSE IT FLEW. IT ONLY WENT THAT WAY. SO YEAH, WE KNEW. BUT YEAH. ALL RIGHT, COMMISSIONER, DO WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? I HAD ONE MORE QUESTION. YES, SIR.ARE THE DRAINAGE STRUCTURES DOWNSTREAM CURRENTLY HANDLING WHAT'S FLOWING THROUGH THEM NOW? YES. THOSE DRAINAGE TRUCKS, ESPECIALLY ON CALDWELL IN THAT AREA WHERE THEY'RE DRAINING TO, THAT'S SOME NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT THE CITY DID. IT'S BEEN A WHILE, BUT THE CITY DID IMPROVE THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE ISSUES ALONG CALDWELL AND BASTROP. SO THERE WAS A DRAINAGE. SO YEAH, IT CONVEYS IT NOW. AND ACTUALLY I, I THINK IT WORKS PRETTY WELL. SO BUT I CAN IF Y'ALL DRIVE AROUND AND SEE ISSUES, LET PUBLIC WORKS KNOW. AND THEN LIKE I SAID, THEN THEY PASS IT ALONG TO US AND WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT. SO BUT YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION. SO WE WANT TO BE A FORWARD THINKING CITY THAT THINKS AHEAD. RIGHT. AND THIS THIS IS DISCRETIONARY ITEM. SO YOU KNOW WE ARE THINKING AHEAD RIGHT. WE KNOW WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SAYS. THIS AREA IS GOING TO GROW TO BE. AND WOULDN'T WE WANT TO NOT BE IN A REACTIVE POSITION BUT TO INSTEAD TAKE A PROACTIVE POSITION AND REQUEST THAT JUST BECAUSE WE ARE NOT AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY NOW THAT THIS COMPANY GETS A PASS, SHOULDN'T WE ADOPT A MINDSET OF BEING MORE PROACTIVE AND, YOU KNOW, KNOWING THAT, OKAY, WE ARE GOING TO NEED THIS AT SOME POINT? WE ARE RIGHT. LIKE YOU SAID, THAT IT'S NOT BUILT FOR WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WANTS IT TO BE. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE ACTIONS. SHOULD WE TAKE THEM LITTLE OVER TIME INSTEAD OF GETTING TO WHERE IT'S SO BAD AND THEN WE'RE REACTING KIND OF LIKE WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE ROADS? THAT'S REALLY KIND OF ABOVE MY PAY GRADE FOR THAT. THAT WOULD BE I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING ORDINANCE MODIFICATIONS AND OTHER STUFF BECAUSE THEY FOLLOWED THE STEPS REQUIRED BY CITY ORDINANCES AND THE CITY OF AUSTIN DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL, WHICH IS WHAT MANNER FOLLOWS. SO WE, YOU KNOW,
[01:00:02]
YOU YOU CAN'T IMPOSE SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON SOMEBODY AT THIS POINT. IT'S JUST IT'S NOT YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T DO IT. IT'S MOVING THE GOALPOSTS ESSENTIALLY. IS IT LEGALLY ALLOWED? I DON'T KNOW. VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY COMMISSIONER, ARE YOU ASKING IS IT LEGALLY ALLOWED FOR Y'ALL TO BE PROACTIVE INSTEAD OF REACTIVE? I'M ASKING, IS IT LEGALLY ALLOWED FOR US TO NOT APPROVE THIS DETENTION WAIVER REQUEST AND HAVE THEM DO DETENTION WORK? SO AGAIN, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS REQUIRED IS THAT ENGINEERING AND PNC APPROVE. YOU ARE HEARING FROM ENGINEERING SAYING THAT THEY ARE APPROVING. SO THEN YOU WOULD NEED TO STATE YOUR REASON ON WHY YOU ARE NOT APPROVING BECAUSE THEY WILL APPEAL. AND SO WE WILL NEED WE WOULD NEED A REASON WHY. AND IT CAN'T BE BECAUSE IT'S FOR FUTURE THINGS. SO THEY WOULD HAVE A CASE TO TRY TO FIGHT IT IN COURT IF WE DID THAT. IT GOES TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, IF I MAY ADD. WE AND OTHERS AND OR TO YEAH, IT GOES REALLY. THE CITY IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON UPDATING OUR DOWNTOWN DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN, SO WE ARE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE FOR HOW THESE FLOWS CAN BE PROPERLY CONVEYED TO THE AREAS THAT THEY ARE INTENDED TO GO, BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE EVEN WITHOUT ALL OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT COMING IN, THERE ARE DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST BEFORE THAT COMES IN. SO WE ARE ACTIVELY LOOKING AT THAT TO ADDRESS IT. THAT'S THAT'S THE FORWARD THINKING PORTION. THANK YOU, MISS GRAY. ALL RIGHT COMMISSIONERS, WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE. ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION. I'LL MOVE THAT. WE APPROVE THIS AGENDA ITEM. I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MEYER TO APPROVE IT. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER STETSON. ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. MOVING ON TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM. CONSIDER DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON COORDINATING SITE PLANS FOR THE PLATINUM 973 GAS STATION BEING LOCATED AT 138019 FM 973 MAYNARD, TEXAS. COMMISSIONERS, THE APPLICANT IS HERE, DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS IF NEEDED. YES, THIS IS FOR THE PLATINUM 973 GAS STATION CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION ALONG 973 GOING NORTH. THIS COORDINATED SIGNED PLAN. I'VE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT PRETTY CLOSELY ON IT. WE'VE COME TO THE UNDERSTANDING THAT LARGER SIGNAGE IS NOT NECESSARILY THE ANSWER, SO HE HAS DONE HIS BEST TO BRING IT IN GENERAL COMPLIANCE WITH THE C2 GUIDELINES. JUST ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE, BECAUSE THIS SITE OPERATES OUT OF THREE BUILDINGS WITH MULTIPLE TENANTS. THE MARKET EATERY BUILDING THAT YOU SEE ON THERE, HE DOES HAVE THE PROPOSED SIGNAGE ALREADY ON DISPLAY FOR THE OTHER TWO BUILDINGS. TENANTS HAVE NOT BEEN DECIDED YET, SO THERE'S JUST GENERAL PLACEHOLDERS WITH THE SIZE ALLOWANCES. I WILL ALSO STATE THAT A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED FOR THEIR DIGITAL FUEL PRICE SIGN. IT'S STANDARD CITY PRACTICE TO HAVE THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. IT ESSENTIALLY STATES THAT THEY WILL STAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR OUTDOOR LIGHTING CODE. THERE WILL BE A SECONDARY SIGN ALONG SUNCREST, BUT THAT WILL NOT BE A 30 FOOT SIGN. THAT WILL BE A 25 FOOT MONUMENT AS PER ALLOWED BY CODE WITH COORDINATED SIGN PLANS. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE ALREADY SPOKEN TO AND ADDRESSED. WHEN YOU SAY A 25 FOOT MONUMENT, YOU MEAN AN ILLUMINATED OR NOT ILLUMINATED? THOSE CAN BE ILLUMINATED, BUT IT WON'T BE A DIGITAL FUEL PRICE SIGN. IT WOULD BE MORE OF AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE OTHER TENANTS. IT'S A BACK GATE. YEAH.I WANTED TO CONFIRM. I SAW ON BUILDINGS ONE. SO BUILDINGS ONE AND TWO OR BUILDINGS TWO AND THREE ARE KIND OF SEPARATED. YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF SIGNS. YOU HAVE ESSENTIALLY 192FT■!S OF, OF THE GROUP OF GROUP A SIGNS AND THEN 252FT■!S FOR A TOTAL OF 444. THAT'S WITHIN THE 450FT■!S FOR THOSE TWO BUILDINGS. SO IT'S ALLOWED BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THEN AND THEN BUILDING BUILDING ONE, WHICH, AS YOU MENTIONED ALREADY HAS THE SIGNAGE DESIGNED IS 212 210FT■!.
SO THAT'S EXACTLY WITHIN THE SIGNAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE ALLOWED UNDER CODE. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS. COMMISSIONERS. ANY COMMISSIONERS
[01:05:02]
HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN? I MOVE TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LEONARD.DO I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY VICE CHAIR CHAVIS? ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. DO I HAVE DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THIS MEETING? PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING. SO, MOVED AT 742. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADJOURN. I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MYERS. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND COMMISSIONER BY SECOND BY COMMISSIONER STETSON? ALL IN FAVOR?
