Uh so the applicant um came before planning and zoning uh several months ago to reszone this property uh from multif family to two family. Um but now they are going through the platting process. They are platting this property into three residential duplex lots located on the east side of Lake Lemon and south of Texpac Street. Uh the applicant has not installed the infrastructure that's required as part of the infrastructure plans. Uh the applicant um this the items that have not been installed include water and sewer taps. Um so staff does recommend a conditional approval with the following requirement that the applicant provides us with an engineer's opinion of cost and security for the infrastructure or installs the infrastructure prior to filing the plat. Once those conditions are met, the plat would be considered approved. I'd be happy to answer any questions at this time.

All right. Anybody have any questions for Angela on this item? All right. There are no additional questions or comment. I will now entertain a motion. Motion to approve B uh but with those requirements affirmention requirements. All right. We have a second. Second. All right. There's a motion and a second. All those in favor say yes. Yes. All those opposed say no. All right. Motion carries. We're now on to item B of the regular agenda. Angela, turn.

Thank you. A public hearing be held to consider application Z25-9 filed by JHG Investments LLC requesting a reszone from neighborhood services to single family 4 zoning district for lot 2 block 1 Hendricks Court uh located at 1201 Alice Drive. Uh so the applicant is requesting to reszone this property seen here on the zoning map outlined in the green from neighborhood services zoning district to single family for zoning district. Currently the lot is vacant. Uh however there are single family homes to the north um and really to the north and to the east of this property. The applicant is proposing to construct a single family home on this lot. Staff finds the proposed zoning change is consistent with our future land use map and surrounding uses. Therefore, it does not constitute spot zoning. I'd be happy to answer any questions at this time.

Anybody on the commission have any questions for Angela? All right. Is the applicant present? And if so, does anybody on the commission have any questions for applicant before I make them stand up? Couple questions. All right. If if you reszone uh if if you if this lot is up against uh general retail, it's up against neighborhood services. The the laundromat? Yes. Okay. So, if it's goes to single family, does it require a buffer between neighborhood services and single family?

It would not at this time. Now, if the laundromat were to do an addition, um it may it would require that if it went through site plan review, it would require that uh buffer. Okay. But at this time, it would not. I was just wondering if uh who would have to put up the buffer uh the laundromat or the typically when development happen occurs uh the commercial development puts up that buffer and that fencing.

Okay. Any additional questions? All right. I'll now open the public hearing. Are there any in support of this request? And if so, please come to the podium, state your name and address for the staff. All right. Are there any in opposition to this request? If so, please come to the podium, state your name and address for the staff. All right. Any additional questions or comments?
