1:56•Tim McWilliams

I know one thing that might need to be corrected. I was present for that meeting on the 8th. This suggests I was absent.

4:37•Gina Hammack

The existing masonry wall, is it a solid masonry wall, or is it?

5:19•Gina Hammack

I just wonder, is the lot going to be fenced? except for on that southern edge there where you have existing?

12:55•Gina Hammack

I'll make a motion to approve this item and close the public hearing.

17:04 – 17:18•Gina Hammack

You said it's 84 feet from the single family? From the single family, yes. And they are putting in extra trees, or is that just the required trees there along that residential adjacency?

17:43•Gina Hammack

This one will have bays on both sides of the building?

18:05•Gina Hammack

And the perimeter is not fenced as well? That's correct.

26:24•James Craig III

it differs from or which takes away from all of those ordinances and protections?

26:41•James Craig III

Okay, thank you. Good question. I'd like to make a motion to approve this item.

29:23•Gina Hammack

What is the use immediately north? I know you said it's ETJ.

29:43•Gina Hammack

A little small office warehouse type product.

29:53 – 30:23•James Craig III

Actually, My son just had batting practice there last week. So that is kind of a light industrial, kind of what you were. Flex warehouse. Yeah. And so you're going to see DBAT, but there's also dance studio, different mechanical or different kind of, not manufacturing, but light industrial trades. HVAC or plumbing. Yeah. Okay.

31:11•Gina Hammack

So the closest property within the city right now is just to the southeast there where those PDs are?

32:06•Gina Hammack

Any questions for the applicant? Do you all have an idea of what type of a townhome product you're wanting to do?

33:05•James Craig III

To answer Commissioner McWilliams' question, it's located within the Salina ISD. Thank you, Mr. Craig. Any time.

34:51•Gina Hammack

I noticed that there's a detached garage there along the southern boundary line. What is the off-street parking requirements for that TR18?

35:21 – 35:32•Gina Hammack

Okay, so then for the duplex, then you've said four, would that be four enclosed? No, it's just four in total. Just four off street, okay.

36:11•Gina Hammack

So what type of a townhome are you proposing to construct here?

36:53 – 37:08•Gina Hammack

Maybe I'll talk to any of the surrounding property owners or homeowners. There's a church that owns one of the adjacencies. Maybe I'll talk to any of them about the project.

37:29•Gina Hammack

I was trying to remember. It was just kind of an older home in poor condition. It was. Previously.

40:03•James Craig III

I guess, yeah, so like the house is around.

42:17•Gina Hammack

I have a question for Kiara. Should we close the public hearing first? I make a motion to close the public hearing.

42:42 – 42:56•Gina Hammack

Yes, ma'am. So a couple of questions. Are there any other duplexes within this immediate area? I can see the ones immediate adjacently are all single family, but are there any other duplexes?

43:53•Gina Hammack

Is this a substandard sized lot compared to most of the others? I was just looking here, it looks like it is a lot.

44:41•Charles Wattley

Could I ask a question? I'll give you some time to think.

44:49 – 45:01•Charles Wattley

It's been a long day, so I need to just ask this question. You've shown us where the duplex is, and this is going to be a townhouse, so I'm thinking it's going to be two stories.

45:18•Charles Wattley

Okay, so is there going to be any type of fencing required between the...

46:04•Gina Hammack

So what would be the difference then between a townhouse and a duplex here? Townhouse because they could have more units or?

47:02 – 47:14•Charles Wattley

So is it possible that a townhouse is built on this corner and it's two stories and they would be able to look over into the neighbor's backyard?

47:29•James Craig III

May I ask a question? Based on the current zoning, is there anything that would prohibit someone from building a two-story house?

47:44•James Craig III

So a five-foot difference? Mm-hmm. Okay.

50:10•Gina Hammack

It's been a pleasure getting to know you, and we will miss you.
