Take a roll call. If you're here, press your button, please. Okay, I'll open up for the discussion of the minutes from the July 14th meeting. Are there any changes to be made? Or I'll entertain a motion for approval.
We'll make a motion to approve.
Little second. I have a motion and a second. All those in favor, press your I button, please. Okay, minutes are approved. That's presented. What are you going to do on this first one? Is anyone here for the woods at 141? If not, we'll put that off a few more minutes. Give him time to get here. Or you can go ahead and table it.
Cooper, make a motion to table.
I tried to reach out to contact George this morning and I ain't heard back, so I'd table it.
I'll second the table. Do I hear a second?
Zopro second it.
All those in favor of tabling the first item?
Aye.
Press your aye button.
Oh, it is?
Voice vote, you're right. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? Okay, that's tabled. Next item we have on the agenda, this is Brookshire Place, Phase 3, the final plat. I have the proponent for this item.
I am here, so don't table mine. My name's Mark Morris. I'm the owner of Brookshire. This is my final phase. I think there's 44 lots total. We're finished, asphalt down. Good to go. City Planning, any staff comment?
Yes, sir. We reviewed it. It meets all the city requirements and follows subdivision code. So we would recommend approval.
Have any discussion? Any questions, comments? GREG BRUDNICKI. MOTIONS?

John Easley with Associated Engineering. We're asking for a replat of the old East Arkansas Malco site. Currently it's under one lot, minor plat. In order to get two lots along Highland Drive, we need to do a replat of it while we're waiting on water and sewer to be installed. Once that's all installed and everything, we'll come back and do a replat of lot four to finish out the subdivision.
Okay. City planner, comments on this one?
Again, we've reviewed it. It meets the requirements of the subdivision code, so we would recommend approval.
Okay. Commissioner, do you have any questions or comments about this one?
I have a question. Yes, sir. John, we saw this a month and a half, two months ago, and lot four was subdivided already. That's still planned. Yeah. It just can't happen just yet. Is that...
In order to do the full record plat, we would have to bond the project for streets and drainage. City of Waterline has decided not to sign off on it until the water sewer's done. So we can't bond it, we can't do anything with it, so we agreed, we all discussed it and agreed to do it this way. The three lots along Highland Drive already have utilities available.
And you'll come back for the apply to four or so divided four.
We'll come back with a reply to four with what you seen a month ago, the rest of it.
Did I notice on this also that there's a part of these lots are to be zoned C2?
No, it's all C3.
Instead of all of it C3? No, it all went to C3. We did a rezoning. Some of it was C2. And we rezoned it all to C3.
So there might be some typos in the notes down there, because I think it does still reference some C2. I can't see it. All the notes. Yeah, maybe.
Well, based on approval, once we turn the original signed documents in, we'll make sure to change that.
That's just a typo.
Any other commissioner questions? Anyone ready with a motion?
I'll make a motion we approve.
I'll second. I have a motion and a second. All those in favor, press your I button, please. Anyone oppose, unite. Okay, subdivision has been approved. Thank you. City planner, you have any staff comments? Any commissioners have any questions or comments?
Mr. Poynter has a question. So on the first one that we table, so When we come back to it, we'd have to untable that, correct? Yeah. So is that normal that when nobody's present that we would table? Typically. Typically. Why are we saying typically? We've always done. Okay, because I thought we've done one before when nobody was here. Oh, yeah.
We have done those. I mean, I guess if it's one that wouldn't be questioned at all, but we don't really know anything about this one, correct? Correct. Okay.
I would suggest that we show it held in Like on the next agenda, show it held and then, like we do for council, yeah. And then y'all can untable it if they're here or then people would have noticed that there was the potential.
Because we didn't set a date on that.
You didn't set a date on it. So I would say at the next meeting, it would just show items held and it would be there. And if they're here, then you can untable it.
Correct.
Okay.
Okay. Anyone else? Thank you. We're adjourned.
