Board of Zoning Adjustment and Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

I'm against that. I wouldn't make it. Thank you.

Appreciate it. We're still trying too late. I'm not sure.

All right. I show it's 4:30. Little hot. Uh, we'll call this. Call the city of Bell Vista board of zoning adjustments to order. Call the role, please. Ellis here. Spartner here. Pleas here. Portillo here. Wang here. Lloyd here. Sbury here. [laughter] All righty. We do have a Tell them to turn it down. Would you? We have a We do have a quorum. Uh, next on our agenda, we have the consideration of our October the 13th. So moved.

A motion from Cles. Second. Second from partner. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed. All right. Meeting minutes are approved. We have nothing under unfinished business. Next up is new business. We have public hearing or zoning variance 202561938. request of street buff buffering and perimeter landscaping. Uh planner Laroo.

Good afternoon board members. [clears throat] Uh so I will uh try and explain this report as succinctly and together as I can. Uh but essentially the applicant is requesting a variance of the street front and buffer uh landscaping requirements for both uh Forest Hills, Rogers Road, and the uh East and South property lines. Um the applicant is requesting an overall reduction in the number of trees from 90 to 52 um in favor to preserve an existing tree canopy along the east property line. Uh but but to also um use the existing tree canopy along Forest Hills to meet this uh street buffer requirement. Um staff still had several questions of the landscape plan. Uh we do need to see a few more details and the plan does need to be stamped by a late by a licensed architect. Um staff does find that not all three review criteria are met. Um and staff does not find a hardship uh that is not of the applicant's doing. Uh and of course the uh landscape plan still must be approved by a landscape architect. Staff is uh staff does not recommend approval at this time.

All right. Any questions for staff? All right. See, we'll go ahead and have the applet come up. State your name, address for the record, and you will have up to 15 minutes to um state your case.

Sure. Good evening, guys. I'm Dirk Tibido with Swope Consulting. I am a landscape architect. I did draw the plan. So, they'll be stamped on the on the tail. As far as what the requirement is requesting specifically on Forest Hills Boulevard, due to the length of the street, it tells us that we have to have 15 shade trees, 15 ornamental trees, and I think 154 shrubs. What we're not providing on the plan is the 15 shade trees because they are more than that existing shade trees that we're saving. So for us to put 15 shade trees, we're really going to be piling trees under and within existing trees. So that's the intent is that we're not asking for fewer trees. We're just saying, hey, rather than cutting these trees down, let's save these trees and count them. And they're all applicable trees. They're not small trees. They're large. They're 36 in, 24 in oaks and maples. And so there's 16 of them that are substantial. And that's one more than is with the requirement. So the requirement says we have to have 15. We're saying we're going to keep 16 of the big ones. And then it says we have to have 15 ornamental. We're providing those. It says we have to have 154 uh shrubs. We're providing those. Um on the east side, uh there's an existing grove of trees there. Same exact thing. for us to put the required shade trees. We would be putting trees within mature trees. Now, on that one, again, there's not ornamental trees. So, I didn't ask to vacate the ordinance completely. I'm just saying there's more than 15 shade trees already there. Let's count the existing shade trees and we'll add the supplemental. So, again, on that side, we're adding the ornamental and we're adding Well, that one it doesn't have a shrub component. So, does that make sense?

Any questions for Yes, sir. is it true that the uh trees on the west side are in the highway right away. The trees Sorry, I'm not looking in the plan. Um would be within I think they are. Yes. Yeah. When you ride down there, you can see the trees and there's a fence line behind. I think technically they are within the highway rightway. So, you don't have any control if the highway just people decide they want to take them down? No. Okay.

Is there room to place the required trees on behind the highway rideway on the actual project property? Not unless we remove the trees. Remove which trees? The existing trees along the roadway again because they because they are so large. Uhuh. We wouldn't be able to plant a maple underneath the canopy of an existing oak. Okay.

So, the only way to do that would be to remove the trees to allow the new trees to happen. I don't see any reason why the highway department would go in and remove those trees because they're far enough away from the existing roadway and they're outside of the grading. We do we have anything that depicts where that canopy is at and where these trees are located closer. Yeah. So what we're looking at is I can see so looking at that it shows all the canopies located within the rideway. So there would be room to plant more trees behind them on the actual subject property.

It's a fine line. It really is. that canopy as it goes all the way out for us to clear the existing canopy. We would be placing proposed trees right at or under an existing canopy. And I had no problem with that with ornamentals because that's the intent of the ornamental is that those canopies slip together. Now on the other on the eastern property line, it's it's not right away and it's just it's just a very large canopy that's being maintained. In fact, we kept the pond outside of that tree line to ensure that the grading didn't affect that stance of trees.

Taylor, is there a is there a way around this with the existing stuff to get it shown in such a way where a variance wouldn't be required? Um, [clears throat] I mean, you know, you know, we typically try to avoid variances. Um well just I think a point of clarification just as I'm listening in the conversation just to offer um the east side technically is not a part of this because the preservation credits uh that 109222 offers um they just have to preserve a tree of over so many inches of caliper to get the credit for one along the east border which um we can confirm if they easily meet that on that side. But um so the perimeter variance that we're looking at is really on the south side. Uh your street buffer variance is going to be on the west and north. You are correct. the shade trees depicted are in the art rideway. So, we can't guarantee that they'll be preserved. Um, as with any rideway or easement, correct? So, in terms of designing this in a way that avoids a variance, I'm not sure that I can answer that.

Or I mean, just, you know, getting credit for preserving trees along the west and the south that would count towards the requirement for like I said, I I'm just trying to understand. Yeah. Well, the trees Yeah. I mean they are getting the preservation credit for the trees that exist on the east side. Um there's no request on the south. The south we are providing the trees that are required. Okay. The south side requires seven shade trees and seven ornamentals every 50 ft placed along the 10ft landscape barrier. So what we did do is that count is there. They may not be placed at that exact interval but that southern property line yields the amount of trees that we've placed.

Correct. So, a variance on the placement, I believe, is more what you're asking. You're still providing the number. You're just not meeting the placement requirements. Correct. So, the and the and the the green space is there. The trees just aren't right in that tight little ledge.

So, the only issue is on the west side. The issue with the west side would be that the trees that I'm wanting to preserve are in the highway rightway. So there is no preservation credit being offered for the west side right now. Okay. But that's where the issue is the west side.

The variances you are considering right now are on the southwest and north. The west is simply just a variance on shade tree requirements. He's providing ornamentals but no shades. We require 25 or every 25 ft we require a shade tree. He's not providing those north side. He is providing um trees just not in the placement required. I would defer to him on confirming the calculations. I know some of the shades are also depicted in the legend a little differently than typically shades have the same size throughout and then ornamentals are smaller, but I think some of your shades are also shown by a smaller diameter of a tree on the key legend. But

I'm not sure about that. I do know that when we go to the bottom left, it does show an Well, what I did try to do is like if a tree was being used twice, I showed it in the legend twice to show that the the shade trees along Rogers were being provided and the shade trees along Forest Hills were being provided. And then as far as the uh calculations, the calculations are to the left, I believe, a little bit further down. That's up down all the way. Oh, sorry. I'm maybe maybe there. So there's the complete breakdown of what is required and what is being provided. And we're providing more than the requirement in all instances for all um perimeter and buffer.

So you're planting the correct amount of shade trees that's required for the perimeter landscaping. It just may not all be along the perimeter if that will pers. They're along the perimeter, but the perimeter says it's within 10 ft. So the trees are in some instances further than 10 feet from the property line just by the nature of the design and how they would be um ideally placed. [snorts] Is it 10 feet? Is that correct? For which one? The perimeter perimeter is every 50 feet. You have to provide a shade and a ornamental every 50t. So is there not a He's talking about distance from the property. Yeah.

Oh, the 10 foot landscape buffer. Yeah, there's three options. I believe that's the one you chose.

Yeah. So, my trees are outside that 10 foot. We are clearly have more than 10 foot of green. I just don't have a tree within 10 ft of the property line uh for lots of different reasons. Um in some instances, it allowed us to space the trees out a little bit. Um right there on the corner of the detention pond, I can see the ornamental trees sort of wrapping around. Those fall within that number. So they would be leaving the the be further than 10 ft from the property line. All right. Any other questions for the applicant? All right. All right, we'll go ahead and conduct the public hearing. Uh, so if you would take a seat for just a minute.

Um, if there's anybody in the public that would like to address the board of zoning adjustments concerning this request, if you would come up to the podium, state your name and address for the record, and we will give you up to 15 minutes to or five minutes, I'm sorry, you weren't moving quite fast enough there. [laughter] We'll give you up to five minutes to uh uh express your concerns or comments to the uh board. So, with that, the public hearing is open. All righty. Seeing now, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. Um, if you go ahead and come on back up to the podium. Um, I guess back to the board members. Do you have any additional questions, comments?

How far away from those power lines are you staying on Rogers with the trees? So, on Rogers, we're staying 20 feet away. And that that co poses a little bit of a problem as well. Would that be part of the reason why they're not [clears throat] I'd rather see them sit further back than see them scalped. Oh yeah.

But overall we have the we have the number of shade trees being planted actually more. We exceed the count. Exceed. Exceed. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. The intent wasn't to circumvent the any rules by any means. It was to take the site and look at the best possible way to provide the requirements of Bella Vista except for the west side, right? because I think your calculations included the the ones within the rightway for Yes, that's the only but to me it's I would rather see those trees untouched, unlimmed than try to force trees within mature tree canopies.

Yes, but we can take those shade trees and plant them somewhere else on site. Correct. Yeah. So, in theory, yes, we could play Well, I don't know. Um it would be beyond Do they have to be within the 10 ft? No, I'm I'm just saying take those basically what I I think u Mr. Seberry said is we understand that there's some constraints and we just want to make sure that we're planting new shade trees in the right quantity even if it doesn't get planted along the road but find other places on site to plant those shade trees. Yes.

So we need to meet the quantity requirement for the total number of perimeter landscaping trees. They just may not be within that buffer. But as long as they're located on site somewhere, that would be the 15 trees. We're talking about 15. There would be a compromise of some kind there, that might work as a condition of approval. Yes, ma'am. Unless I'm speaking out of term. No. So, yeah. I also didn't think that that removed the financial part of the conversation.

So, any other questions or comments? All right. If I if not we can I get a motion to approve zoning variance 202561938 with the condition of that the correct number quantitywise will be planted on site. So move. Got a motion from Portello. Second. Second from Farner. Colt roll please. Wagman. Yes. Floyd. Yes. Yes. Sbury. Yes, Barner. Yes, Portillo. Yes, Ellis. Yes, I think that's

all right. Thank you'all. We'll see you here in just a minute for our planning commission meeting. All right. Next up, we have public hearing uh zoning variance 2025 621000, a variance request on a chicken coupe placement requirement and fence height restriction. Uh planner Grady.

Good evening. This property is located in the southeast area of uh Bella Vista. uh parcel number 16-43201 000000 lot 2 block 1 of the Spanker Creek Estate Subdivision. Tonight we're discussing section 109248 uh B2. Uh residentially zoned lots less than 4 acres fences, sorry, fences shall not be taller than 3 feet in height in the front yard. Section 109167 C5. Hobby chickens. It's unlawful for any person to keep uh permit or allow hoppy chickens within the corporate limits within permitted districts under the following terms and conditions. Uh enclosure placement area hen enclosures shall be kept in the side or rear yard area and not permitted in the front yard. The nature of the request is to place a mobile chicken coupe uh totaling 160 square feet uh and a 5 foot tall fence within the front yard of the residential estate zone property uh which is not permitted. Uh on September 22nd, 2025, development compliance found the site had a chicken coupe in the front yard. Uh a notice of violation was sent and compliance was con uh confirmed on October 17th, 2025 uh when the coupe was removed from the front yard. Uh at that time, compliance staff found a fence taller than three feet and uh that had been built without a permit in the front yard. A fence application was submitted on October 22nd, 2025. Staff found it did not meet code since the fence measures 5 feet in the front yard. The applicant is now seeking a variance for the unpermitted fence and who have a mobile chicken coupe uh in their front yard. Staff found the lot does uh does contain roughly a 10-ft slope in the rear and the northeast sideyard, making the far rear portion unsuitable for a coupe. Uh directly east of the house, there is a flat portion which contains a privacy fence, trampoline, and a raised garden bed beside or sorry, behind a

privacy fence. uh directly northwest of the house in the rear yard. Um it is used for an accessory building uh which is relatively the same topography as the front yard. The applicant's uh letter mentions animal husbandry, the science of breeding and caring for farm animals. Uh staff finds this concerning as breeding is not considered hobby chickens and falls outside the intended use. Board of uh the board of zoning adjustments is strictly prohibited from granting variances based on use. Um no public comments um were given uh the or sorry received at the time of this report. Uh all legal notices were posted according to the code. Staff does find the request to meet I'm sorry staff does not find the request to meet all required review criteria items and therefore cannot recommend approval of this variance request. Staff does find a reszone request may be more appropriate for the intended use by the applicant. All right. Any questions for staff? All righty. If the applicant's present, would you please come up to the podium and state your name and address, and we'll give you up to 15 minutes to uh make your case for your request.

My name is uh Mark Pierce, 8206 Banker Ridge Drive, Benville, Arkansas is my address. Um, so just for clar clarification, the chicken coop, we're not breeding chickens. We're just we're just raising them for for eggs. Uh, we're trying to do a chicken tractor where we move the chicken coop every two to three days. The front part of our property is the only flat part of our property where we can move that coupe around. It uh it's healthier for the chickens. It minimizes waste buildup, so it's cleaner cleaner environment for them. So, the proposed location is kind of the southeast portion of the property. Um, not directly in front of the home, but in the front plane of the home. Uh, the fence uh is 5T to the top of the post. Uh we're proposing to do the five foot fence mainly for for safety of our kids because of being the front part of our property being near a busy road. We got a lot of traffic, a lot of people that park on the road, pull into our driveway, park in our neighbors driveway, and sit. And so it's just more for protection for our family. Um as well as it meets meets the aesthetics of of the surrounding neighborhood. We have neighbors with uh taller fences. Uh being a a larger property than your typical quarter acre lot in Bella Vista, I feel like that it meets the intent and spirit of of the code. Um the wood and rail post fence also allows for uh view of the home. it doesn't obstruct view and so that's the reason for we also want to increase the property value by putting a nicer fence having a shorter fence would would just wouldn't look right with the uh with the neighborhood as well u staff makes a mention of maybe a reasonzoning would take care of this for you where you wouldn't be required to

have multiple variances have you discussed that with the staff have some uh for the multiple variances within the zoning variance request. Yes. Yes, I did. And about reszoning the property instead of requesting the variances? I've not discussed that. No. Okay. Staff is can you can you explain expound on that? Um

absolutely. So resoning to potentially a would be more fitting for the area and the use that you're requesting. Um considering you've also mentioned wanting additional a animals. Uh currently right now with residential estate, you're a little you're a little bit more restricted than what you would in an a zone. So you'd be required to fill out the application. Um there would be public notices, similar process to what you have today, but there would also be mailers. Um I will state that um we went out there today to review to look at the property. Currently the uh chicken coupe is up there off to the side area that we had mentioned. Um and so I do want to make note of that one. I'm not for sure. Do you have any additional questions? Is there anything that you guys would like me to cover that I haven't had yet?

What is a what does a reszone how would that resoning work? So basically re area with a ne already a neighborhood zoned that way, right? So you've got re residential but the uses in the area are agg um also to the other properties that are going off of the the previous covenants that you had had when the property was originally created. Okay. Um and so whenever you guys annexed that went away and so you to the south of you is a uses to the north of you is residential estate and so it could be considered poss as a possibility according to our master plan. Okay.

Essentially staff is saying instead of requesting variances from your current zoning it seems like what you're wanting to do is more appropriate in another zone where variances would not be needed. So instead of asking for variances from this zone, it may be more appropriate to just ask for a different zone that's more aligned with your intent and future plan to your property. Okay. How would that that way you don't need to keep coming back and asking for variances if that truly is the intent of what you're trying to do. You know what I mean? Um and staff is more than happy to talk to you about that. We can set up a meeting and have an actual preapp. Okay. Okay.

Yeah. It's it's under state statute like the fence specifically. There's not really a way for us to approve that variance because it's a want, not a not a hardship per se. Just, you know, people want to fence their yard in, but that doesn't mean we can just say, "Yeah, you can go fence your yard in." Because once we say yes, you can go fence your yard in the front, then that means everybody in Bella Vista can do that. And that's not our intent as a as a board to unilaterally grant something without a true hardship. So, that's that's part of it. And there's no there's no real hardship for a three-foot fence versus a 5ft fence. And the same thing goes with a chicken coupe. We have to stay consistent across the whole city. We can't just say, "Well, they want to have a chicken coop." So, we we'll let them have a chicken coop. Then that means everybody can have a chicken coupe and topography is not a great great use of a hardship because everybody has topography in Bella Vista. But there's a way around there around that for you by reszoning and you're adjacent to other agricultural zones. Well, that is a a more fitting legal way to approach this, I believe. Mr. City Attorney,

he definitely shot it. So, how does that work? Yeah, it basically you would just withdraw your variance request for tonight, meet with staff, you could submit for a reasonzoning request. I don't think we're going to make you tear down the fence in the meantime or anything like that. We'll work with you on the time frame and then you would come before the planning commission and the city council. Uh probably at this point we'd be hitting the February meetings. Would that be right, Taylor? I think so. We're definitely in cycle I'm accepting for cycle two right now. So yeah, February meeting. You you probably have 95% of the information you need to submit a resoning request.

U because you've got your legal description and you've kind of already written a nice narrative of what your intent is. Even though that's not necessary for a reason, but you just come back and see us in February, then we'd send you on to council and and and I think that would get you much more in compliance than trying to do a bunch of variances. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Because I I I will tell you that in general speaking, we only approve maybe about 5% of the variance requests that come before us and and those are like true hardship situations. So, and this is probably doesn't quite meet that requirement to be honest with you. Okay.

So, all right. So, ultimately, uh, where we stand right now that we need to conduct a public hearing real quick. So, if you would go sit down. Unless I was going to say if since you just said the word withdraw, you have to withdraw before they deliberate after the public hearing, I believe. Um, but if you're if you're not wanting to withdraw and just let it play out, then yeah. Yeah, it's up to you. You can withdraw or we can take action on your request. It's it's no difference. Do I need to withdraw before before the public hearing? Okay. I I think I don't know. We're looking at you. You're the attorney. If he It's his application. If he wants to try to to We can't force you to withdraw anything. Okay. If you tell them you want to withdraw after you have a public hearing,

it just has to be before deliberation. So be it. So be it. Um do you want to withdraw it? Well, you're tell you're telling me that's the best chance I would. Do you want to withdraw? I would say yes. I want to withdraw. [clears throat] All right. All right. So, it's withdrawn. All right. So, do we need to conduct the public hearing, sir? No. All right. Uh, can I get a motion to uh do we need to do anything at all? No. All right. We will consider your request withdrawn and look forward to seeing you in two months. Okay. Thank you. All right. Thank you. That's a good solution. Uh, do we have anything for open discussion? Staff does not have anything at this time.

All righty. Uh, with that, we will go ahead and close our board of zoning adjustments and pause for just a minute. Then we'll move forward with the planning commission. And we're adjourned. Correct. Readjourned. Yes. I'm sorry. This new fangle thing over here is going to take me a minute to get used to. All right. Uh, let's call to order the city of Bella Vista Planning Commission meeting. Call the role, please. Ellis here. Barner here. here. Here, Portillo here, Wagman here, Floyd here.

All righty, we do have a quorum. Uh, next on our agenda is our public uh or our meeting minutes from November the 10th. Make a motion to be approved as submitted. Got a motion from Farner. Second. Second. Got a second from Sbury. All in favor say I.

I. Any opposed? All right. Meeting minutes are approved. Uh, next up we have our public input session. And if there's anybody in the public that would like to address the commission concerning any published or non-published item, this will be your only opportunity to do so. We ask that you state your name and address for the record, and you will have 5 minutes. All right, seeing none, we'll go ahead and close our public input session. We have nothing under unfinished business. Next up under new business, we have lots split 2025 61920, a proposed lot split uh near Forest Hills Boulevard, Planner High.

All right. Thank you. Um again this is going back to the property as previously discussed but um located in central Bella Vista at the corner of Rogers Road and Forest Hills Boulevard uh code section 107-126 provided four options for incidental subdivisions including lot splits and the applicants requesting a lot split of the existing tract one which is roughly 20 acres to create two new tracks. Track one at approximately 3.73 acres and track two at approximately 13.88 acres. Um the applicant again uh taking this [clears throat] alongside the large scale development request for the VA clinic uh to be heard later. Um the subject site is zoned at C2 light commercial and bulk and area requirements are being met with both tracks per the zoning code and various drainage and utility easements are being dedicated to the public per this plat meeting requirements. Uh minimum road frontage and or minimum road frontage requirements are also being met for both tracks and minimum riderway dedication requirements have previously been met. Uh no streets are being proposed nor any vacated. However, a 24ft access easement is being dedicated along the southern edge of track 1 for future development. And additionally, a six foot wide access easement is being dedicated along the western side of track 1 for a proposed sidewalk. Uh the subject site is located within the city's type 2 village center node per the feature land use map which plans for a mix of uses that include retail institution park and residential uses. Rogers road and forest hills boulevard are both classified as major arterials per the master street plan with Forest Hills also being a state highway. Um no outstanding technical comments at the time of this report and due to the analysis above staff recommends approval of this request.

All right, any questions for staff? the applicants present. Would you go ahead and come up to the podium? Uh, state your name and address for the record, sir. Sure. I'm Durk Tibido, Swope Consulting, number seven, H Hallstead Circle, Rogers, Arkansas, Dave Irvine, SI Property Investments. There anything you'd like to add to staff report for this one? No. Thank you. All right. Any questions for the applicant? All right. All right. If not, can I get a motion to approve law split 202561920? So moved. Got a motion from Farner. Second. Second from Portello. Call the role, please. Yes. Sbury. Yes. Farer, yes. Portillo,

yes. Wagon, yes. Floyd, yes. Ellis, yes. All right, that's approved. Next up, we have large scale 2025 61919, a proposed large scale development for the Veterans Affair Medical Clinic near Forest Hills Boulevard and Rogers Road, Planet Laroo.

All right. So, the applicant is requesting to build a 16,700 ft uh square foot VA medical clinic at uh Rogers Road in Forest Hills. Uh the future land use plan does include the site as a type 2 village center um with access from both street fronts. Uh 77 uh total parking spaces are provided. 10 of those which are ADA compliant. Uh both both streets are classified as major arterials u that experience moderate to heavy traffic. However, are not expected to generate over 100 uh peak trips per hour. Um as mentioned, there is a new sidewalk proposed along both street fronts with a dedicated access easement provided along Forest Hills. Uh there are still some outstanding comments from planning, engineering, water, and fire. I did provide you with the the latest email we have for the intent for Centerton to connect to water. I believe they have to conduct a hydraulic analysis um to be able to complete that. Uh [clears throat] uh with those outstanding comments, u there was no public comment and staff is recommending approval so long as the remaining comments are met. I'd be happy to provide those comments too if you like.

Any questions for staff? You got any issues with the comments that are still outstanding? Not at all. In fact, I've already made the changes. They're corrected. They we just haven't resubmitted them back to staff. So, okay. And then what about the uh ongoing water discussion? [laughter] You knew it was going to get asked.

That's actually been committed to by both parties. So, so we've spoken with Ethan Hunter at the Runway Group. They've committed to being willing to allow the property to be brought into the POA. Um Charlie Holt has committed to providing fire suppression water and domestic contingent on Senator's release uh for domestic if they chose to do that. So currently it'll be brought into the POA. Charlie will provide fire suppression. We're waiting for Senator's commitment or decision on whether they prefer to keep the service area for domestic purposes or whether they're willing to give that to the POA.

Okay. Um Ethan had asked us or or suggested would be a better word that we actually not submit for the POA uh approval or or entrance into the POA until the lot split was approved. So that's the reason why there's sort of a horse and buggy and back and forth which should have come or should come first but both have been committed to both parties have committed to assisting the VA in getting services. I don't think there's any question whatsoever of accessibility to the water. The question is at the end of the day

POA is going to provide fire and who will provide um domestic water is slight not yet finalized. Yeah. Along forest hills that we have the luxury of having two mains. So we have a centeron main that is not capable of handling fire and then we have the POA which is capable of handling both. Um if centerton chooses not for us to tap. Okay. So somehow there's going to be water there. We're just not sure.

There's one question that water question is who who's sending the bell. So Gotcha. Okay. Any other questions for the applicant? The only other the only other thing we've got on there is just updating the landscape plan for the board of zoning adjustments will be added on there. So, we're good. Okay. Any other questions or comments? If not, can I get a motion to approve large scale 2025 61919 with outstanding staff comments and corrections from the board of zoning adjustments? So, moved. Got a motion from Sbury. Second. Second from Cles. Call the role, please. Sbury, yes. Barner, yes. Portillo, yes. Wagman, yes. Floyd, yes.

Yes. Ellis, yes. All right, your large scale is approved. Staff will get with you on the next steps. Appreciate you. Thank you. All right, that closes our new business. Do we have anything for committee reports? None at this time. How about open discussion?

Just an FYI. Um, you guys didn't need to vote. Uh there's nothing too crazy uh for 2026. Believe it or not, we don't have several holiday conflictions like we did with this year. Um but you will see cycle one which was already approved via the 2025 calendar because we always approve cycles one and two of the pri or the next year with the prior year. Um the work session was supposed to be on New Year's Day. So we that you guys voted to cancel that. So we are not having a work session for the next cycle. So just just similar to what we did now. um only be a regular meeting. Um and with that, the actual cycles are for 2026 following the the two that you've already approved. Everything else is just as normal. 42-day cycle, second Mondays at 4:30. Your pling commission work sessions are 10 days before those. Um other than that, this is really just anformational heads up for you guys.

I got one question. Okay. The work session for next December is on the 31st. Yep. Would you guys like to cancel that one? We're open on that day. So, we left it. We're going to do this, right? So, can I get a motion to cancel the work session plan for December 31st of 2026? So, moved. Got a motion from Clesen. Second. Second from Portillo. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? All right. We have canceled the work session for December 31st, 2026. Anything else? That's it. Do you need us to take action on this calendar? No. No. That was I needed that though. That was good.

All right. The calendar's in keeping with our uh stuff so or with our uh whatever it is our our rules. So anyway, all right. Anything else for open discussion? Not from staff. All right. Uh anybody else? All right. All right. The city council work session will be tonight at 5:30 p.m. across the hallway at the police police training room at 5:30 uh with the regular meeting on Monday, December 15th at uh 6:00 p.m. Uh our next work session has been cancelled due to the holiday.
