Planning & Zoning Commission - Regular Meeting

Thank you.

All right. It is 6 o'clock, June 2nd, 2026. We might call a regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission of Montgomery, Texas to order.

to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

On the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to the Texas, one state, under God, one and indivisible.

Let's see. Moving on to item number three. Is there any citizen comments or anyone that needs to speak before any item starts? Okay. We move to, again, item number four, consideration of possible action on the plan for drilling

I make a motion to accept the meeting. Minutes from Leslie.

A motion?

A second.

I have a motion and a second. All in favor approve the meeting.

Minutes from May 50, 2026 say aye. Aye. Opposed say no. Item four passes.

Item number five, presentation and discussion on the proposed new single-family dwelling at 1005 College Street on the historical preservation

chairman and commission members. And this is in reference to 1005 Collins Street. If you recall last month, the presenters were unable to attend at that time, but Mrs. Navidin is here to present to you. I do have a couple of sheets to pass out to you in addition to what was submitted. It's a landscaping plan that might help in some of your being able to see how this would be the historic preservation guidelines. And if you'd like Mrs. McCullough to come up here or if you need another brief description of what the project is, it's a new single family club.

Here we go.

Do you all recall the location of this house? It's at 835.

I was joining too, yeah. Yes, yeah. Looking through all the design and colors, they're all opposing. Those guidelines seem to be in order with the historical requirements. Reading through here, did I see there may be a variance request on the setback from the street?

Yes, sir. Yeah, we were hoping to request a variance. We were going to submit it in July with our building permit, but we wanted to get your feedback on it first. I don't know. There's a couple reasons for that. I don't know if you want me to go into detail.

Yeah.

Yes, please. Well, one of them is there's an Osage Orange tree that has like a state canopy. It's very large. So we're hoping to preserve that in the next stage of development when we build the garage. It would be too close without the very next. And

The garage or the house?

The garage, not the house yet. And that would be, we would do that garage at a later time and maybe possibly next year. So I'm planning ahead, just wanted to preserve that because I just know those are needed in Texas and we just happen to like it. And then the other reason is because we, my husband and I prefer like when the house is like a little more like town, we're kind of a little bit closer. It would put us at 35 feet from College Street. So, you know, it wouldn't be, like I know like the Grace Point home, that's like 25 feet. So we're going to be that close, kind of like because College Street is a little different than, you know, some of the houses in the back. So it's not a spot, like a little closer, but not too far away.

What type of driveway are you planning on using? Wasn't it concrete and then you get the red brick lining on it?

Yes, ma'am. Concrete and then we wanted to do the brick painting apron and then brick back by the garage. That's not on there. We have a professional site plan being made that will turn with the building part. And then a hearing bill brick walkway as well. Where is the tree located? It's 156 feet back, so it would be like right behind the rock. Yeah, so the purple rods would be right behind that. Yeah. I don't know, maybe like 12 feet from that. It's with the variants. It's just with the canopy and everything and just the concrete and the balance.

You make it sound like you're interested in keeping the trees and the topography and the representation that we have going on.

Yes.

So the whole... Do you want that?

I like people to keep the trees. Yes, yeah. Our whole vibe we're trying to go for is old Texas homestead, not like modern farmhouse. We want to leave those fake trees, the big ones. If we could have anything, it would be those invasive...

I mean, trees, I don't know what they're called.

But underground trees. Do you ever plan on putting a fence? Not at this time. Only if we get a pool in the future, then we fence. I wouldn't use a street, but yeah, at that time we would.

The only question I had when I seen it was, I mean, it's huge. But I was wondering if it goes along with the historical theme that goes through your memory. It's cute, and I know that in downtown we have those lighters, not lighters, that are on in here. Yes. Yeah, so I was just wondering where you got that idea from.

So, you know, that is a good question. So, my designer, he's from Georgia, and he works out with the store districts down there, and so he threw that in search of, like, store districts in Charleston and stuff like that, and saying that, I think, we wanted a balcony, but there wasn't really anywhere it fit, and then he had sent me some images, like, from around their store districts down there, so it's, yeah, it's not quite the Texas store, but more, like, old style, but still okay, yeah.

So. So.

Three-quarters of the lot is going to be pervious coverage. The total pervious coverage post-construction would be less than 15% or maybe a maximum 25% when we're done. So it's all going to be on that northwest corner because that's the highest part of the lot. We're trying to maintain the natural drainage patterns. So that's the low side. We don't want to build anything on that so it's a... like minimize that disruption, let all the water just flow where it already flows. And plus we like that, like the rich, the top school, it's already there, we don't want to bring in a lot of that fill. We have to fill, like bring in a lot of fill if we built on the right side, or I guess facing a lot of the left side.

Anything to say about the setback? Crows or gongs? Not at this time. I don't have a chance to read the formals like that. You still have the formals like that.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that, yeah. But I just kind of want to say to y'all to see that it's not, I mean, it's a little bit of a scale, but it's not quite perfect.

Not like the design of the actors. I know Mariam's happy you're going to try to save that terrific bridge. Yeah. You got a point there. If it helps from behind the 16 foot easement, the utility easement, it won't approach on that.

It won't approach on that? No, yeah. Okay. And we could, I mean, there's a thing you can try to sort the garage too. I don't know. There's a couple of businesses, I guess. Oh, I'm sorry. The landscape plan, this is more closer to the shutter color. We changed it, but I'll need to order the staples and have it stopped. So when we turn in our final approval, hopefully in July, for consideration, then we'll have the physical staples for this.

Okay. Thank you. We're all good. And then once you come back with the final trial link, we'll be good now. Okay.

Awesome. Thank you.

I appreciate it. Number six, which is a presentation and discussion regarding the proposed new restaurant development featuring liquor service, a future drive-thru, open-air seating, and outdoor entertainment.

So we have the presenters here, Mr. Chuck and also Mr. Chris Cheney. and Mr. Ryan Roscoe here to present to you their proposal at this location. If you recall, this is what used to be the ANA nursery. And I guess they can give you a full description of what they're proposing at this location. You have pictures there or renderings of what the plan was supposed to look like.

Good afternoon. Good evening. So I'm Gabe Nunez. I'm here on behalf of Chuck. He's running a little late today. And we do have Mr. Chris and Brian here. They recently purchased the lot off of... We are looking to do the various requests to try to bypass or not necessarily pour concrete for all of the department in this commercial lot. So they're wanting to open a restaurant with sports liquor service and open air seating to bring it to the town. What we would want to do and what we're seeking is the ability of, instead of doing concrete, simply doing a couple of inches of rock to have parking spaces in this parking area, right? So that's part of the reason for the variance requests in an effort to try to keep costs at a minimum and be able to launch the business in a timely manner. I guess I've improved a few.

I'm Ryan Routt. I would be the owner of the restaurant. I currently own Crawfish Kai down in the district, in the historical district area. So basically looking to expand that. It would basically shut down. They would move down to that property. It would not be called Crawfish Kai. The name would change. It would become more of a indoor-outdoor entertainment area, kind of like a little Woodrose type thing or something of that nature. you know, sort. We want to repurpose the building for what it is right now. Basically leave that main building, use it structurally if possible. We will basically build the restaurant with inside that. We will have outdoor seating. We will have outdoor area for like live music, kids area for families, things like that to be able to entertain and play and hang out and do things within the city that doesn't currently exist. So it's an ideal property for it. It's a great location. It's got lots of space. And so right now we're just kind of throwing the idea out there, kind of get you used to it, get it on your minds and see where we go from there. But so Chris owns the property and we're kind of working together to try to expand and get that going.

So you want to try to use the existing structure, the building there? So there's going to be a drive-thru variance, correct?

So that depends. That was a possibility, but it's not a completely set idea yet. And then the parking lot variance.

Okay.

So the drive-thru one time, the Hodgepodge Lodge put in a criminal, I don't know what you call it, but they used concrete.

It was the grids.

Yeah, the grids. They used that. So, yeah, there is possibly a couple options that are considered. I think even the But, of course, I remember why we gave them, I don't know how many years it is now, but we've given them quite a few years to pay theirs, but they, you know, they're proud of it. So, there's options there. Right. And is there, the open air...

Well, you have a restaurant. Typically, a restaurant is indoor. And now we're going into an outdoor use, outdoor activity. And most of the activities that are listed in the table of uses, when it mentions anything outdoors, it goes to a conditional use. Okay. Okay.

My question is, I know that this MISD has the building next to you. Does that coincide with any kind of liquor being that close? I'm just asking, did you get elementary school administration there? And some kids there? I'm just saying.

They're leaving that location.

Huh?

They're leaving that location. Okay. All right. Yeah. They're moving to the new CT center. All right. Yeah.

Right now, it's not a school at all. It's just administrative. Right. So they're, like Chris said, they're leaving anyway. So it would have no effect.

In the liquor, we looked at all the stuff that's around it, and if they're serving liquor, there's nothing close to that. Is this a church? Having had a corner...

When we start looking at distances, typically people look at as the curve lies, but in our ordinance specifically, it goes from a measurement up to the door to, I think, even the next door.

It's a question we have to ask because that's one of the first things it says is a liquor service. I mean, if you're downtown, you're all serving wine and drinks, but you'll be on one of the five. Yeah. You know what I mean?

As far as what?

Well, we question the noise variance or allowance when the... there was another establishment that built downtown next to you, actually, where you are now.

Okay.

That little area. Oh, because of the little stage they built? Yeah. And they also put an extra dirt down next to it just to keep the breath. So that was, please be sure to come to us before you do that. We will. Because that's what happened.

We'll do it at 11.

But I just wondered about,

so a little bit difference between where we would be in there is there is no residential around at all it's all business or empty you know space there is no residential i guess but i know they're i mean we would still follow whatever ordinance i whatever i think it's 10 o'clock typically anyway i don't plan on having live music till 2 a.m or anything past 10 to be honest with you i'm ready to go home by then so that's okay

And your lights are consisting of those hanging? Are you going to have any, like, because I see here in the back side where the music is, will there be other types of lighting? Most likely, yes.

I mean, there will most likely be some other sorts of lighting, yes.

But not standing up on HV?

No, no, no. It's not going to be regular parking lot lighting, anything overbearing, no. You want to be able to set a mood rather than a parking lot. Wow.

So it would be the restaurant and I see that trucks as well?

No, so it depends. We're still kind of in the planning stage and we'll either, and part of it depends on the buildings. So rather to build an actual kitchen within the building or attached to or if it becomes a mobile kitchen that serves it. Not other food trucks or anything like that. If anything, it would just be a mobile kitchen that serves the place entirely. Yes, correct. So all the buildings are going to go except for the main. Everything's gone already? Yes.

That main building. When will you know the building's going to be OK?

So we plan to have an inspection in the next week or two weeks. We are. It's going to be both the structural building inspection and the concrete slab inspection. And you're part of that, right? Yes.

No? No, it would be submitted as part of their building permit package.

So it'll be, it'll be just an engineer stamp that with a sealed letter. No water and sewage hookups and all that.

There's no water sewer currently there. So we have to bring the service to the property. She never hooked up to city water or sanitary. Okay, but I mean, we'll example it. I think for their purposes, yeah.

Yeah, we haven't gone through this.

Oh, okay. This is all. Yeah, this is very, yes. Beginning stages. Getting ahead of myself. Okay. All right. I think it's a good concept. I know the city needs something like this.

Have you considered an asphalt versus stone street?

Yes. There's... Yeah, to do it right, there's not a lot of difference in the cost. The base has to be basically the same. And it's an option, but we wouldn't change our cost very much in that way. So we'd like to be able to make the rock work, the gravel work for now.

would make it a lot less runoff with the gravel or some type of system like that. Which I know we're all concerned about is the drainage and runoff.

How far away from 105 are you going to be?

Maybe about 50 feet. I think it's about 50 feet.

Are you talking about the building itself? No.

Like we're parking and all that. Because right now we go to A&A and they've got some plants you can park literally.

It would either be behind the fence or possibly behind the building or something like that. I got you.

See what I'm saying? Yeah, because you didn't play it earlier, right? Yeah, that's insane. So we're going to have

Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, the whole property is fenced already, but anything that would be related for kids or anything would have a separate fenced area as well. So there would be no access to a parking lot.

Are you going to try to do anything between the street and the fence or noise barrier or vegetation or anything like that? Or are you just going to leave the street and the rock? Do you know what I'm saying?

The boundary fence on the property, 2105, that's in Texas. That's right away now.

All right.

Yeah.

That's in Texas.

Texas.

I like that. I guess so the closest homes. Well, yeah. And then in town. Well, yeah, pot to pot.

It's a sort of play yard, and there's a daycare and a library that's directly behind it. And maybe trash tanks on the back side.

Now, that property, has it been sold? Or in the process of being sold?

The administration building?

Not yet.

But in the process?

Oh, well, it's maybe. Maybe.

So I was actually just on Padre's property not long ago, maybe a few days ago, and it was amazing that just with the tree cover that they have, you don't hear anything on 105. It's pretty deadening already. as far as the way you're thinking about the houses beyond that, is I think covers that noise pretty well on its own already. But, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. If any, the more the better. Now, there's actually a good group of trees back there that Chris preserved and that we want to utilize for some entertainment sitting area and stuff like that. Not to say that there couldn't be, but... You definitely want people to see it as well. Yeah, that's right.

That's a great concept. Are you thinking of the black and reddish? Is that the book you're going for? No. Are you sold on it?

Black and red?

No. What color did you use in these pictures? Are you sold on it? I'm not sure.

What picture? The picture of the building?

Yeah. Okay.

So, honestly, the Billing 10... the way it looks is something we're wanting to preserve a little bit. Kind of that, I want to say rustic, rusted look in a way, as long as it's safe. We want to preserve that kind of, is that the one? Is this the one you're looking at? Yes, that's the one I'm looking at. All right, just there's been a couple, but yeah. So it's not going to, That's a great looking building, but it's, you know, not going to be that at the time. You know, it's more the building that is there using its shell, if possible. If we have to replace some of it, we will. But we want the kind of the older look to it right now anyway. So that may change in years to come, but...

I don't know how I feel about a drive-through. It's so congested.

Let me explain the drive-through. The drive-through is not for food. So the drive-through area, and it's not even supposed to be like attached like that. It was mainly for live profit sales. And that would be like a separate area altogether. If anything, it's just like a small area or building or something that you're dealing sacks out of. And it doesn't even have to be a drive-thru. They pull up, park, and you take it out to the car. If it's a pickup, that's not a drive-thru.

We don't need a very small format. So it's not really to put in your language...

Yes. I mean, originally these ideas came partially from the old fire station when I was looking to go there or whatever. So it had those drive-through bays, so it was thought, hey, you just drive in, get what you want, get out type thing. So that kind of just carried over, but it's not the same idea for here. I mean, honestly, most of this has been my vision of something I wanted to bring for a long time. So I was working on different areas. They didn't work out. You know, hopefully for a reason, this looks like a better spot. I mean, it's an amazing spot on 105. Yeah. And covered space. And covered space. Trust me. I get five times what I do now. Yeah. Yeah. But like I said, the lighting, it's, you know, think about more of like a movie type setting lighting, more down lighting, some little up lighting possibly, the string lighting and stuff, enough to create light to where you can see what you're doing without any type of overbearing light.

and the gravel foot parking. But again, there's other people that have it in the vicinity of what you're speaking of. So I make a motion that we're just discussing. Okay. Thank you.

Interesting. Thank you very much. Thank you.

proposed new financial institution development with drive-thru lanes. This is for discussion only.

Yes, sir. However, number seven, we covered in a pre-development meeting earlier this afternoon. They're not here to make a presentation, but they will be, or plan to, come to the planning and zoning commission next month to request that special approval for their drug.

Okay. So we're next number seven? Yes. Okay. Then we'll move on to item number eight.

This is at 13801 Liberty Street. That's correct. Discussion? All.

his presentation in this session. Mr. Trevor Dickerson, I think he's already purchased the property. Well, he's here to make that presentation. It is going to be a multi-use commercial property. If you all know this location, it's just north of the elementary school. It looks like a single-family building. used for commercial, and now we'd like to continue to use for commercial, different type of uses that are permitted in that district, and also have some outdoor. Thank you. Thank you.

So we are under contract with the feasibility period under that property. First and foremost, I want to say that mature trees will never see a chance off. They will stay and stay time proud. So we're going to look at potentially building this out in phases. Goal number one, we are salon owners. My wife is at Elizabeth Allen. They're just behind Best Donuts in downtown. So we want to stay in that market to build our financial base for the business. at maintaining the property at its original form to maintain the downtown feel of Old Montgomery. We look at taking the back half of the structure and interiorly renovating for individual slot suites, cosmetic suites, anything of that nature. After that, we would still have plenty of square footage in the front of the building that we will leave empty for now to potentially down the road, depending on where the demand is at, either add more cosmetic suites or provide retail space for one to two retailers, small boutique style. And then from there, have a couple mobile food vendors, coffee vendors, mobile and then down the road in the grass area, up front, close to Boarding 149, we would love to do seasonal retail with farmer's market style, right? Local vendors, artisans, bakers, producers, and our whole mission is just to create a place for a family-friendly, it's a dawn till dusk open, no alcohol, family-friendly place where people come and gather, a community gathering place to interact with small businesses and members of the community. We really just wanted to present today to get y'all's input on it. Like I said, we're in feasibility this month, so we just want to make sure that what we're looking at doing and budgeting is in line with what y'all would want to see in that area. We also will be asking for a variance as well on gravel parking with the aesthetic and the feel we want to stay as old as possible. We like old stuff. We don't love the idea of just pouring a bunch of concrete for parking. Again, also drainage, we want to keep all that the same, but really for us, it's the aesthetics of the place. We don't want it to look like a shopping center or anything like that. We want it to feel like an old farmhouse that people can come hang out at, let the kids run around and play. It's not open too late, stuff like that. Yeah, so if y'all have any input, I'm also here to learn, and I would like to know if there's anything y'all would like to see in the next month from us.

As always, we ask about the parking. If you do a farmer's market, which they're very popular, would they just drive something back?

Yeah, our goal right now in the presentation that I'm still handing out to y'all, the rendering of the property lines is a little askew. I did what I could within a week. This happened, you know, I'm quick for it, so I apologize. I think, I don't know, did you send me the email, the original one, the hand-drawn one? That shows better the property lines. Currently there is a storage shed and then a lean pole line. For sure the storage shed more than likely, we would just go ahead and take that potentially. It's already gravel for the most part, minus about 50 feet to the back of the property line, plus where that storage shed and leaves are. That would be our parking area. And we would just like to continue to use the gravel as our present thing here. So that would be the majority of the parking.

So you're going to pull in, not from 149, you're going to pull in from that road that they pulled into to the school? Yes. So you'll do away with the one driveway that's...

It already is. So it's been divided since. So the current ringings or anything on images will show you a U-shape coming in from 149 over to the shared access easement for MISD and the property. The property line cuts that other driveway out. So as of right now, it would be the single driveway shared with MISD.

And so you'll do all the fire department and water and you, okay. Oh, what are your hours?

As far as the community aspect, now our tenants for the cosmetic suites would have access probably from 6 to 10, I think. 6.30 to 10, so they can do it in the morning. Yeah, 6.30 in the morning to 10 in the afternoon and evening, so they can work their schedule, work their clients. 10 p.m.? Okay. But they will have individual gate access, so the gates will be open for public use. We don't really intend on selling anything to the public. We want to create a place for the public to come, and then we will sell to local vendors the opportunity to interact with us. Okay. That being said, I mean, we envision a place where, you know, in the fall, you know, we would have a pumpkin patch up there or something like that. That way we would probably retain and sell to the public in that way, but better than that. So are we talking seven days, six days a week? We would think six days a week. We want to be close on Sunday.

So let's say the farmer's market, is that a special use? If they have a farmer's market on the weekend, is that a special use? Same as food trucks? It's an outdoor type of use.

Food trucks, there's a state law that was passed in July 1st. There's a technical aspect of it where you can no longer call them. a mobile food truck, you can regulate them under the zoning code as an outdoor use, but not as a mobile food truck. So there's, I'll make sure that that new Texas statute comes over here too, so that you can read what the requirements are. The state of Texas is taking over all of the food vendors.

So does that make it more difficult or easier?

Not that it makes it more, you mean like regulation-wise? Yeah. We can regulate it because of the outdoor use.

Okay.

We could possibly regulate it because of the environmental health issue, as in cleaning out the vehicle, the grease traps, that kind of thing. But the outdoor use and zoning, we would be able to say something about the outdoor use itself, but not mobile food vendors.

Kind of like we did down there in the cozy great parking lot when we had the ice cream and the hot dog place, right?

That's different. That's different.

Again, we're getting away from the turmoil. And is the farmer's market kind of like our first Saturdays? How they have to, okay. So it's like a percentage.

Yes, so they rent our community home.

Yeah. Would you have any restroom facilities?

Yes, we would have a restroom inside the building that would be available for public use. Right now it looks like we can lease out two restrooms for public use, and then we'll also have a restroom for tenant use, a private restroom for tenant use as well.

That's not a good thing. I'm sorry. I didn't present it to you.

some new ideas in the past, which is great.

I like your keeping the trees.

That's why I like it.

We don't plan right now and don't really foresee

Expand the current structure. We want to keep it. Because they remodeled the house, right? Yeah. They remodeled it. Interior, yeah, a couple of additions, but we want to keep it where it is right now. And then we're going to have to build them at 844. Yeah. Since you're going to my life, I love old stuff. I feel like you think it's old.

Nice windows. Yeah. And no liquor, so no conflicts in the school next month.

Anything else? Anybody got? Okay.

Thank you. If I could ask your input and what your thoughts may be in the future of what you might need for me for the variance on parking and travel. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. Is there anything I've prevented that I should probably look into while I'm in feasibility that y'all can see or are we in line with what y'all want to see there?

I think feasibility, I think one thing, the main thing is your parking lot structure, not structure, but what it's made out of and make sure you have disability or handicap. Because that will have to be in variance if we do some gravel versus all that. So just maybe come up with some different ideas on that. That's really about it. Everything else is pretty much in forms and stuff.

When I originally saw it, I was concerned if you were targeting the designated parking field, you'd have to return to Park 105, but it was not done.

Yeah, we should be okay. I mean, it's going to be a pretty, I'd say, slow burn, probably over a year. I mean, we'd love to be open by January. And like I said, phase one for us is the salon and to provide good financial footing for us to start providing for the community in that way, provide space for that. So we're hoping to have that by January and then over that year, expand and grow and add a place for the community to grow.

Appreciate it, y'all. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, Commission.

an update on the crossing of Montgomery development. So this is kind of paint the picture. I know some of y'all weren't on the commission at that time, and realistically this happened over two years ago. So just bringing y'all back at the speed as to what's going on. So back in the summer of 2024, we presented a feasibility study to council and the Commission on the proposed crossing on the Montgomery subdivision. This is a subdivision that would just be across the street and railroad tracks from Riley, rolling on the Drakeburg Meadows. You go to page 1.4 of your packet, you'll see of an area in question. Page 64 of the packet also has that outline as a proposed section. And what this consisted of was 235 blocks varying from 65 lot width to 75 lot width. Within that, we've outlined to all of the requirements as far as public utilities were concerned. For water, it would be pretty straightforward. On either side of the development, there is water access, so they would just be tying into that, creating an internal loop with their water system for development. As far as sanitary is concerned, we outlined in the feasibility study that their best and most viable option would be providing an off-site lift station and then extending Forest Lane off-site along Old Dockland Planetville to a discharge manhole along 105.

And that's outlined in the feasibility study and the development

And once we presented the development, or feasibility, excuse me, to Planning, Design, and Council, we went through with the development agreement process. Within that development agreement, we just outlined all their requirements as far as variances, required off-site utility extensions, and the required funding and timing of those, as well as any other variances within the development. And so, out has all of those informations. After execution of the development agreement, the development went on pause by the developer for a couple of different reasons, but now it has come back to a conversation table. And just again, because of the time lapse between execution of the development agreement and where we are kind of with, you know, facilities within the city, market rates as far as kind of real estate as far as conversation pieces again to bring it all together and everything that's going on. As a part of this discussion, we are working with staff, the developer and city's attorney on amending the development agreement to further outline role and responsibilities of the offsite utilities. So typically there is two means of how developments within the city receive service. It's either the city does the design and construction of offsite utilities or it's done by the developer. In the development agreement, it was outlined that the city engineer would complete the design and construction of the off-site utilities, i.e., the required sanitary sewer service, on-site lift station, and off-site force plane and gravity sewer upsizing along 105. The developer would prefer that their engineer handle that work. And that's not untypical. Briley did the same thing. They constructed their legislation. We get the off-site utility, so there is a presence in the city for that. Along with that amendment to outline those roles and responsibilities, there is also a request on additional information on the PID. That is one unique aspect about this development. PID within the city. It's not the first PID within the city. There is another. The Montgomery Summit Business Park is a commercial PID. And so this will just be the first residential PID within the city. For those that don't know what a PID is, Public Improvement District, it is a financing and reimbursement mechanism for development. So very similar to a MUD in ways of reimbursing foreign infrastructure. But the difference, the key difference between a MUD and a PID is that MUDs levy taxes and PIDs are assessed based on evaluation of the property within that district. So those are the kind of two distinct differences between PIDs. I won't go into them. further detail or I'll misspeak and give y'all a wrong impression on something. There are specific questions about kind of differences of that. We are kind of going through with the developer as well as a third party attorney to kind of go on and discuss kind of those differences between what PIDs are, what other kind of reimbursement entities within governmental bodies such as cities are and what PIDs are able to produce. Again, within this decade, you'll seek out from the developer as a separate attachment as far as their process and where they currently are within the city, or in terms of the development process, excuse me. Again, just to kind of summarize, there are 235 homes ranging from $480,000 to $520,000. Some of their comp developments are Waverly Place and New Waverly, and development in Common Road. Canyon Creek. Canyon Creek, exactly. So we're kind of a similar vibe as far as those developments are concerned. And that is all I have. Do you have specific questions on that? Yes. Yes, ma'am. Of course I do.

We agreed on CQ5 by 120 and CQ5 by 130. We agreed that we wanted it deeper. And not wider? Correct. Okay. And they did say 7 1⁄2 feet setbacks on the side? Yes, ma'am. So is that 7 1⁄2, 7 1⁄2?

Correct. So it's from building pad to property line to minimum 7 1⁄2 feet. Building line to property line, minimum 7 1⁄2 feet. So a total from each adjacent building pad would be 15 feet. Okay. Out of the mountain. any additional variances. If they were, those would have to come, depending upon the scope, would have to come back to P&Z and counsel more.

In the landscape reserve, I just happened to walk that road track for the past 27 weeks. With kids, and I know so, and the old trees that are up against that fence where he cuts his hay, and I grow it at the end of the day. So there was a discussion back in 2024. Of maintaining that? Maintaining that, and I wrote it down because it was... It was something important, like I said, to rearrange the land plan and shift roads so that Here's the railroad tracks. Then there's some gravel where all that stuff is. And then the fence line and the trees. So are they going to put a road and more trees? Are they going to just leave those trees? Because I see 20-foot. I see that there's a 20-foot variant along property boundary adjacent. So is that in addition to the 25-foot? Setback, not setbacks, but the, wherever it is, land and trees and all that.

As I understand it, and the developers and engineers here to answer specific questions, but their current layout has a buffer has street. So there won't be any streets between the landscape buffer and the house.

So the landscape buffer is going to be 20 feet. Minimum. Minimum. And they're keeping the trees. Yes. going to be up against the tree side street?

No, correct.

Correct house?

Yes, ma'am. So it'll go railroad, trees, house, then road. And they will, are they going to plant more vegetation?

Are they going to, if it's, say the trees are on the out?

So not to speak for the developer, but I would imagine since it's heavily wooded, they would try to maintain as many trees as possible.

Some of it's sparse. Yeah, it's a little deeper down towards his house.

Right, but in terms of interior development, I would imagine that they would try to maintain as many trees as possible. Yes.

You know I'm going to ask.

So we did the land plan, as Zach was letting you know, to have 20-foot in a reserve that's according to the development agreement. We don't have a tree survey, so I can't tell you exactly what trees may or may not be in place. We are maintaining a 20-foot buffer from the railroad right away in the back of the lot for the purpose of a visual tree buffer so where there can be some type of separation.

20-foot from?

The railroad right away. The railroad right away, okay. Property line. So if those are 120-foot lots, it would be 120 foot or 140 foot from the railroad right away to the front of that lot, basically. So you have a lot of 20-foot buffer in the railroad right away in the railroad.

What happens if you get a nice old tree that's in that 120? You're going to build a house on. Does it come down? It's coming down. And city council said yes to this.

To be clear, they would start to come back for final planning, preliminary planning, plan approval in front of P&T and council. So y'all would have an opportunity to see what they're proposing for each staff.

And also too, there was something about the green space was considered around the ponds.

So there is 6.8 acres that have to be going to, sorry, three detention ponds, eight and a half foot acres of walking trails and park setting that are going to be in the ponds. So there's development agreement, three ponds, and eight and a half acres, I think, dedicated to trails, parks, things like that. So we're only doing this one section. Now that the escrow agreement has kind of formalized the buses to make it a city, we can start submitting things to the city for review. So... How many ponds would you say? Three.

And within those three pawns,

is say here's a pond that pond is also including the green space that you're telling us that is going to be allowed in the subdivision so the pond itself would be in a drainage reserve right and then it's a pond with a firm footprint would be a lot smaller than that the reserve would be larger if you think of this data it has to have some kind of trails or amenity right now they are designed to be dry ponds so they're not wet ponds okay um Did that answer your question?

I just want to make sure that we're getting enough green space that people touch their feet on, opposed to green space and it's three ponds that are dry and then whatever the remainder is, is what they're going to call the walking trails.

So the walking trails would be along the 20-foot part of the pond. Okay. And the city requires 20-foot maintenance on the pond.

So that would essentially be where the walking trails would be along that part of the pond. I have a question. If this is anything but on the development, the proposed third affair plan. Yes. That black hashed line. What is that?

So as a part of this development and kind of backing up. While we're going through feasibility with this morning cloud development, we're also going through feasibility with the tri-client development, which is the legacy grow just north of 105. As a part of both of those developments, we did propose that Thoroughfare be connected from Lone Star Parkway and ultimately out 105 and then through 105. connecting to 149. As a part of their development, they were or are required to dedicate right away for that portion of a throw-over that would be going to their property.

And certainly laying around that as well. So the land plan that we do have, I think even the one that the feasibility study did show were that, so we, with the new land plan that we've done, we kind of kept the same configuration.

I think that was, no, it was, no.

No, it was in question. It was in question.

If you go to page 84 of your packet, you'll see kind of the overall land plan. I believe this is the most.

So is the throughfare on the streets or is it?

It would be a portion of the street interior to their house.

Because there was a question of it going through us then.

So it wouldn't, as I understand, not go through Huffman today? We would get a stub.

So I guess track point brings it to 105, and then we bring it, and there's track in between. So the goal would be when that never gets developed, that it's going to make the connection. So there's going to be a connection from the North Loop through here, across 105, through this subdivision, and back to 149. And that track is the manned property? Right.

You're not going to track down Huffman.

No, it would be a separate street altogether. Because Huffman is a private street.

Yeah.

So we wouldn't know that.

is correct and i would like to know that one of the first things that y'all will probably see next is the preliminary plan the preliminary plan is just going to be for one section of the southern region so i know we're talking about three ponds that's three ponds so the phase one will have two of the three ponds built yes third pond will be in the second phase so if you Just letting y'all know when y'all do see those things. Like you won't see that third barrier because that will be in the second phase. You probably won't see the third pond or that preserve. So just know that the first phase will be the first.

So I also read back in January of 2024 that one of the city council members addressed how many entrances there would be. And someone said that it would be, if there was only one entrance... It would have to be a gated community or not be a gated community or it's not a gated community. No. Correct? So there's one entrance and it's coming from?

Two entrances, one off of Old Dobbin, one off of Old Plano.

Two entrances ultimately, first page would be the first one. Yeah, on the west side of Dobbin.

And who said yes to these additional homes coming down? Because you've got Riley. And now you're going to have this subdivision coming down Old Plantersville Road. I don't know if any of y'all have been down Old Plantersville Road.

Separate from this development, there is a three-party agreement with Briley, the county, and the city that have a cost outline for improving Old Dock and Old Plantersville Road. So, effectively, where the high school is.

We do have this in the traffic study, which

We can't even walk on our street. You can't take your stroller, you can't go bike riding, and we used to be able to.

the painters and their bands and the cement guys with the little spinners to flatten out the cement with the trailers. It's knocking the limbs from the trees down on that road. And the curb, there's two strong curbs. And there's two parts you can't do at the same time. And the speed limit is 20.

It will be crowded in the very near future with all the active development going on. I definitely can't acknowledge that concern, but there are parameters in place between us, the city, the county, and all adjacent developers on making sure access and maintenance of that street, city-maintained street, is maintained and adhered to. I know...

Are we going to have a public hearing for the people that live within this vicinity of this new development that will be circling their homes now and also using Old Plantersville Road?

All of the agreements as far as improvements to Old Plantersville have gone in front of city council, in front of the commissioners' court as well, been reviewed by city's attorney.

No public hearing of the people that it affects.

There has been, again, council items regarding that agreement. And so if there's a request in the future by residents or the city, we can't have that public hearing workshop, whatever the case may be.

So where on Old Plantersville Road is one of the exits going to be your entrance?

This one is going to be... That right next to the river? Yeah. It's just over the river. Okay.

And the land before and after that property that's purchased, it's the railroad tracks. And then I've seen a for sale sign for the little strip of land that's on the other side of the railroad tracks. Right before you get, it used to be a pill station. Yes. Okay.

Yeah. And that's what you're talking about coming out. That's the blue house. You're not putting that up.

Yeah, so it's at the intersection of Old Auburn, Plantersville, and the railroad track, just northeast, probably about 150. Yeah.

That would be the phase one entrance. That's not nice for the people that live on that street. That's just... Good luck.

There's nowhere else to access off the road. There's a pretty narrow strip of where it connects to it.

And when you come out on Dalton, that's behind the school where all the kids... And that's where all the improvements are going.

So that's where all the county improvements are going is to improve that from that intersection all the way to 105 will all be improved. Is it widened or just overlaid? That portion is overlaid and the whole portion is widened.

Old Plainfield with the lightning?

Pavement, yes, ma'am.

Pavement. And overlay on the backside of 30, oh, the one behind the school? Yes, ma'am.

And again, understanding your concern about all the traffic in that area, aside from the, not Briarley, Crossing and Montgomery TIA reviewed and issued TIA on the Briarley development, which required them to improve Old Plainfield as well. Again, a connection to Spring Branch Road. Again, with the county, all parties with the district of Briarley, the county, the city, city attorney, county attorney. There's a lot of coordination going on.

It's funny how many of them probably live on that street. Raise your hand if you live on that street. That's why I can say what I can say. And it's not nice. I'm just telling you it's going to be a nightmare. It's going, kids go here for school and that train coming through two different spots. Anyway, I'm just going over some stats. Cause at one point there's a hard curve and the trailer house park has a stop sign. Huffman street has a stop sign and old Plannersville road has a stop sign. There's three stop signs in a curve. And then you go through another S curve and you come to the edge of that railroad track where you're trying to come out. And that's going to be your first entrance. And you got to decide if you're going to take a left or a right. And either way, It's . Definitely understand your concern. Well, I'm sorry that I wasn't here. I'm gonna research to see if I said yes to this. When will we be making the second entrance coming out on Old Auburn?

I don't know the timing, but it'll be in the second phase. I just don't know the timing and that looks like she's got, I don't know, don't want to speak for the developers, I don't know exactly what her timeline looks like for the next one. But certainly the next phase would have to have that same.

I highlighted some other stuff too. Several of the council wanted to leave it at 70 foot, but they decided on 65, I guess. I just have the notes from January 2024. And I was like, I couldn't wait for tonight. I must have been asleep in 2024. Please make a note, like when this is brought before council, to really, really take a drive down on Plantersville Road.

It tells you about 3.30 a.m.

It is busy for sure. For sure. Actually, they should just walk down it or take a bike ride with their kids.

Yeah. And again, kind of the point of this item is discussion. So bringing up points like this in terms of concern definitely can be brought to our attention and make certain caveats to our recommendations in the development area as well. So if there are other questions or comments, that's what this opportunity is for.

That's a beautiful start. Like it's got slopes. Man, when he cuts those hay fields, they were like, we would just stop and look. It's beautiful. Absolutely not, but I am ready to go to the next. Thank you. Okay.

We're going to move on to item number 10. Consideration of possible action regarding the proposed 215 addition to the front facade of the 16th Senate family dwelling located at 901 College Street in the store.

Good evening, commissioners. Yes, this is a 12 by 15 addition at 901 College Street, and we're reviewing this because the addition was in the front part of the house in the location of the historic reservation. The property owner is here, Mrs. Jordan Riddell. Our contractor's here, I guess he'll talk about this.

It's a real simple project. And I don't know exactly which drawing you have because I had sent several to Ms. Tilly. But all they want to do is move the front of the house. It's like an addition. It sticks out already. Just move it another 15 feet further out. I'm sorry, Ms. Miriam, one of the trees will have to come out.

I know. I'm going to take two out, but I was told just one.

Just one, just one.

And Jordan has said that it probably needs to come out anyway because it keeps dropping leaves or branches on top of the house. So it's almost a safety concern at this point in time.

It leans over our master.

It doesn't lean out, it leans back over the house. So the drawing shows two windows, kind of on the right side. We've opted to go take the three windows that are in the front and just replace them for the front so that they look the same. So that front facade will be the same? It'll all be the same. It's just going to extend 15 feet per ground. So there'll be three windows instead of two? That's right. And if you look at the... So when you come to the end of the 15 feet, it's 19 feet 6 off of the setback line, the property line on the right-hand side. And then it's 45 feet off the setback line. You guys don't have to draw. We worked on it today. So... All the finishes will be the same, same color, same shingle, same artifact.

So do we have a new drawing or records?

I can give you this if you want.

The next step in their process, when you approve this, they'll come in for a building permit application. We would just make sure that the building permit application reflects what you approved.

So in the historical district, preservation district, there is a minimum or a limit from the street. And usually, what would you say it was in this one? They had that 15 foot, like what is it? The property line at the front?

We're 45 feet.

The 15 feet addition will be 45 feet from property line.

Is that within guidelines?

Yeah. It's 19 and a half feet off the side.

I think we're at 25 feet. That's what you said.

And the reason they're asking this is because of what is the main concern? Why are they asking if it's just because of They just want more space. As opposed to move to a new house, they want to make this room.

And you said it's two windows, not three windows? There'll be three windows.

I'm just getting to it. Okay.

Yeah, there's three windows there now, and we're just going to let it be three windows.

And that door, what's the door for?

There's a door in this drawing. It wasn't there before.

Is it an entrance to the house? There's like a mudroom, laundry room, and that's an entrance into that house.

And we'll match that to kind of the front door, too. It'll be the same...

would finish it. The idea is to keep everything silent. Just add space.

Plan on replacing the tree? Just ask him. Or a friend. Do what? I'm asking for a friend. You're going to have to replace the tree. Replace the tree?

I plan on further applying it.

We got a cedar tree right out there, but it got struck by lightning, so it's halfway hanging on right now.

It's still alive, but half of it. I know the ones in Cedar Creek Park ain't long alive. We've had a few with the storms come down, but we have quite a few trees on our property. Yes.

So I just wanted to add, there's a list of optional conditions if you want to look through that. If you have any questions about any of those items, you don't have to have any of them at all. But you have your questions.

And so to level it, it looks like you're going to have to push through part of the concrete.

Yes. Okay. It slopes down quite a bit.

Yes.

It'll be a thin wall in that just concrete style. Okay. What page are the considerations on?

that would be a general point.

All right, that's about it.

So if all seven of these were met, there's no reason to come back to us, correct?

Correct. This would be the action that we would need in order to issue a building report. And of course, the building official still has to review the plans.

Are we supposed to see the sideboard and the roof? Talk right now. Typically, you never see it.

Typically, not at this time. We have the photographs. Oh, yeah.

Okay.

It's just going to be the same. I mean, everything's the same.

I'm not going to change any color. We're not going to change the colors. So will there be additional exterior lighting, mechanical equipment, or utility improvements? They're supposed to be screened or located in a manner compatible with historic preservation and city review. Tilly, who's gonna go by there, or whatever is the building inspector gonna go by to make sure the materials match? Because we don't have an example in front of us.

Okay.

All right, as long as it's not purple. Same, same, same.

Oh, no, I like the white.

We all like purple. No, no, no. The reason I say that is we were presented with a color, and when it got painted, something changed the color of it. I held the patch up to the building, and I went, this isn't what we got. Oh, yeah, no, no, no. It'll get white.

No, we'll color match it. We'll just take a piece of it and go and match exactly the same. Trim the same, everything the same.

I make a motion to accept.

a proposed 12 foot by 15 foot addition to the front facade of an existing single family dwelling located at 901 College Street in the Historic Preservation District to follow along the guidelines of what's on there now, the color that's on there now, and the roofing material and the downspouts and drainage.

I second.

Okay, I have a motion and a second for the approval of the proposed 2015 addition to the front side at 901 Collins Street, providing that all the exterior colors and elements stay within the same as the existing home. Yes, sir.

All of us say aye.

Aye. If we did, we have a motion. Yes, I motioned it. She said she did. Okay, we have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion passes. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you all.

Thank you. Consideration of possible actions. Acres 1.188.

Any questions? Questions? This is for the Wells Fargo location. That would be at the corner where the edge here is located. So it's the northwest corner of 2054 and 105. And it's the Wells Fargo. They're going to have the drive-thru lanes. similar to the other banks that we met looking at the drive-thru lanes.

And it appears to

meet the requirements for safety, pedestrian safety. They are using their access points from the HVD property, which of course I'm sure they have their shared access agreements. And I have a representative here from Lung Sparkle that's able to answer any of your questions.

So this sits behind the wall. It's not the corner. Yeah, it's up on the parking lot of basically HVB. Okay.

That's a small 1.188.

Well, the banks these days aren't as big as they used to, so clearly they're getting smaller, but I wanted to point something out in case it's helpful. This layout actually has just one lane, and this isn't a typical drive-through setup like we probably are accustomed to with three lanes and somebody looking through the window to help you. It's literally just for the use of an A-team. self-service drive-up ATM. The lane itself has stacking for five cars. The site itself can obviously take more than that. We typically design to three cars, so when people come to an ATM, they see three or four cars in a line like that. Nobody wants to sit there, so they'll generally just drive to the front door where we have a walk-up ATM or walk inside and get serviced that way.

So I guess we've tried to think through all the things.

But it's not a Dairy Queen drive-up, not a three-lane set up with tellers looking through a window to help you. So it's going to be an experience for our customers.

So it is going to be two?

One. One. Yes. Okay. There are two ATMs, but one is...

And of course, there's one inside as well.

So how are you going to get in there from 2854 and 105?

Yes. No, no, not 105 because of the wall. Yeah, so it's 2854 and then the rest of HEP's development we're tied into. What is y'all's light situation? Light situation? So we are regulated by the state because of the ATMs on the site for safety. So they regulate us out to 60 feet in any direction from an ATM. We have to have so many foot candles within 5 feet, 10 feet, 50 feet, 60 feet. is the minimum, which is what most shopping centers are designed to, as far as lighting goes. So that way, they've got to put lighting, and people feel safe, and if something does happen, hopefully they're visible.

So these are the knockdowns, like the HEBs. Typical pole lighting. Everything is shined out. Yes, sir. That's correct.

And of course, the lighting on our building casts some of that.

But we're designing out to...

60 feet, but if it's beyond our property or not, it just has to be to the edge of our property or 60.

Is it going to be a stone outside or is it just going to be brown and red?

No, so we have a brand new exterior design that's being rolled out. The first location is going to be Jordan Ranch and Katie. The second one is going to be in San Antonio. This will be the third.

Can I find you on the side?

I can share it on my phone. It's mostly a stuck-over side, which is my favorite little piece of stuff. I'll check that. Not as old school as we thought it ought to be. But sort of natural finishes, you know, it's not like in your face.

Mm-hmm.

Good.

No driving lanes whatsoever for regular banking. No. Everything will be inside. Right. With the ATM.

Yeah. And the big push for that, as we all know, is just because everyone's doing things on their phone. So, you know, the traffic that there once was, you didn't even talk to a teller or deposit a check. It's just not there. People can do it online. So the ATMs are also smarter. You can deposit checks in ATMs.

So you are not asking for a special use permit for a financial institution with two drive-thrus? No, for one. So we're going to change that, okay.

And hopefully we didn't provide something that was incorrect.

No, no, no. Okay, gotcha.

When I said two, I was like, nope. We're going to plant trees all around it.

That's it. I told you that you're good. Keep the lights down.

There's sort of a bypass lane next to it. It's not connected. It's outside the same curves, but it's just the regular flow around the building.

Yeah.

Not an actual lane.

So which side of the building is it on?

It's going to be away from 2854. Like, here's 2854. There's their bank. So they're going to go straight down here. And loop around.

Yeah, we're completely relying on HEE's access to pick up the wall.

Any more questions?

I make a motion, uh, regarding the request to pass the request for a special needs permit for the Financial Institution of 1 on track 39 opposite, at the southeast corner of 8th Street and at 28th Street, corner of John, track 2, beneath pickers 1, 4, and 8, 8.

Motion. Second. Second. So, all in favor of the, uh, Action for a request of a special use permit approval for one drive-thru lane at the southeast corner of Viva Street and FM 2054. Corner of John Track 2B, Acres 1.188. All in favor say aye. Aye. I believe it. The midsection, I have a question.

How long is the special use permit for?

You can set an expiration on it.

Or would anyone just roll with the bank?

Well, yes. I mean, unless you think that Wells Fargo will go away and a new bank will take over, if you feel that a change in ownership of the bank, or if you think that a different use could go into that bank,

Probably we'll make it as long as the ownership. We're actually ground leasing the site.

So we have a 30-year lease. We usually don't leave once a week, especially today.

But we have to ask because, and I read that in the book, I need to ask that question all the time.

No, no, I understand. So we need to put in there through the ownership period of...

I agree with that. Thank you all for your time.

Let me digress including the proposed expansion of the property of 900 square feet into a continuous vacant suite at 15363 Summit Park Drive, Suite 204.

All right. Well, again, this is the location at 15363 Summit Park Drive, Suite 204. This property is located in the industrial zoning district. The applicant, Caroline Plagans, is here with her husband. They are the owners and operators of the Charlotte Spot LLC, doing business as the Village Play Cafe at that location. So they are currently operating at that location and would find it advantageous to them to add 900 square feet to their office. really help their operation, at least grow in how they can provide services, expanded services, play areas for children. Now, you all know the industrial zoning district and what the table of uses are in the industrial zoning district. This kind of use is not typically approved in the industrial zoning district, but again, with the opportunity and the special use permit, and they have already been operating there for a while, the addition would be covered under this new special use permit, or at least the special use permit that we can attach to its exact existing location. Again, they're here if you have any questions. It's definitely a use that would be helpful with the employees that possibly work in that industrial district. Maybe even with a gym that's located there, people can, take their kids there for a couple hours to play in the play area. I don't know if you've ever been inside of it, but it's... It's pretty cool what's inside of there. They can go into like a little construction area and pretend that they're contractors and kitchen cooking area. It's just that with this expansion, they'll be able to maybe serve some food with the people that are there and maybe expand on their ability to have birthday parties and that kind of thing. The business owners are here. Do you have any specific questions for them?

Basically, this is so you can expand your business. Yes. It serves the community. Correct.

Just a minute, Eddie. Go ahead. The additional 900 feet are the next building over that you're trying to acquire? Is that a possibility for sure or?

We've been paying rent on it since we bought the business.

So is there already a setup for food and hot water and bathrooms? So we're working with the city and the county to get all of them. Okay. You know there's a coffee shop already going, right? Yes. And I see you want to serve espresso. Yeah, just to our clients. If I don't have a chocolate or espresso.

Kids in another room. Yeah, what we're trying to do is just add more play space and then a small kitchen and then a party room.

So is it a daycare or is it come and drop off?

No, you stay with your kid.

Oh, it's a... Yeah, it's a little town. Oh, a play date place.

I have a question. So the original existing operation, they never got the variance with the special needs permit. So what we're doing is applying it to what's already in existence as well as...

What's it like? Yes. The new owners are asking for forgiveness of the previous owners. A little bit about this. Like, we were only coming to buy their stuff.

We lived in Tomball. We were going to open up in Tomball. And then my wife and I were like, man, Montgomery's growing.

We have the opportunity to buy it. Let's just kind of make them an offer. And since then, we've had so much feedback. Oh, my God. Thank God you kept this open.

How did it open without... Any special gifts for me? Because I thought there was a gym over there. There is a gym. And I've been over there to that gym. I've never seen children. That's why I said, coffee and children? Yeah, great. They were quiet about it. And obviously without the expansion, it's not going to be sustainable either. Well, thank you for coming to us and getting a special use permit, doing the right thing so that you follow along with what's going on in the family. I do say thank you to that. What is your expected date of expansion?

So as soon as we get the approval, we've already paid for construction. All we are waiting on is the contractor to get approval for the electrical part.

Well, construction too. The whole building permit package. So the building official still needs to do planning. No, we're still in it.

So how are they operating now without a special use? Is it legal for them to be operating? I just want to make them safe. If we're holding them up by saying this, let's just be clear. Right.

They have a certificate of occupancy.

Okay.

That allows them to be in that position.

Okay.

business part was built in an industrial park. That's the problem. It was never started properly in the first, I mean, you know, who to blame?

You can't now, but yeah. I appreciate it. Like most people just roll with it and then we're bulldozed most times and they're asking for forgiveness instead of permission. Well, you know, when you're dealing with kids, you want to make sure everything's legal because we don't want to be sued for something. Yeah, I think that's right. I think that's right.

And if it helps to then continue the space right next to them, it still hasn't been built out. You know, the building has been there for a while. So by them expanding them into that space, it helps.

So it's the two doors? I'm looking at the building.

There's four doors? I see like an out thing.

Because we don't even have access to the wall.

Right, but there's a total of four doors in the whole building.

Plenty of parking, plenty of parking, disabled parking.

And it's all inside?

Yes. And they have to follow all those rules. Like when they go to put the cook stuff in there and all that, you'll have to... Well, you're already doing it. What are your hours? It's blank on our sheet.

We're open seven days a week.

We're open from Monday through Friday, 9 to 4. And then Saturday, 8 to noon. Sunday, 10 to 4. No, 10 to 3. And then we're all for birthday parties outside of those hours. Anything past 10 o'clock? No, not right now.

Hopefully not.

Gotta ask it, gotta ask it. What else is there? Oh, for the length of your special use permit, we're going to put in there as long as... Ownership. Ownership. belonging to Charlotte Spot.

What's the name of your Charlotte Spot? Charlotte Spot's the LLC, and it's the Village Play Cafe.

So we're going to allow the special use permit as long as it's Charlotte Spot LLC doing business as the Village Play Cafe. I will make a motion to approve a special use permit for an existing indoor children's playground facility, a proposed expansion of approximately 900 square feet into a continuous vacant suite at 15363 Summit Park Drive, Suite 204. The special use permit is to be good as long as the owners of Charlotte Spot LLC, doing business as the Village Play Cafe, own this site. And it is Monday through Friday 9 to 4, Saturdays 8 to 12, Sundays 10 to 3. and birthday parties.

Second. Okay. Motion and a second to request approval of city council for the special use permit for existing indoor children's play business, including the proposed expansion, probably approximately 900 square feet into a continuous vacant suite at 15363 Summit Park Drive, Suite 204, along with the recommendations stated by Marion. And you have all those? Okay. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed say no. Motion passes. Thank you all so much.

Thank you.

Thank you. Okay, now we're on to...

I'd like to point y'all's attention to page 1.6 of y'all's packet. This will outline kind of the site plan of what's being proposed. Paint the picture. Church of O'Garney-Footland Methodist Church that will be going on Klepper and C.B. Stewart is requesting a variance request for the required visual barrier abutting adjacent residential property. And so as shown on this On their site plan, there is between the estates of Buffalo Crossing, I believe, is the neighborhood. There is a 30 foot drainage unit and of that, there is a vegetative setback and barrier. Because of the placement of the drainage easement, they're not allowed to place trees within that, and so they're asking for a variance to extend the visual barrier from essentially where the parking is all the way up to the building, north side of the building. So you'll see what they're proposing, essentially from the adjacent residents. If you're looking out of their backyards, you'll see their six-foot-tall fence. Above that, you'll see a combination of trees. At full maturity, they'll be 15 feet high. Strawberry, at maturity, will be six feet high. Black on the development. And by ordinance, this is black on the development. is what is required. So they're just asking that variance only be required for a portion of the actual act development. And so they will be coming back in the future with the future phase, future build-up of the building going north. At that time, we would ask that they extend that visual barrier north to again continue that visual barrier from the residential properties to the west.

So basically what they're doing, they're extending the 25-foot vegetation buffer 200 feet. Yes.

That's basically what they're doing. Yeah, they're planting all the required trees and shrubbery, maintaining that visual barrier. They're meeting all the minimum canopy requirements for the development. They're not removing any trees. They are planting the same amount in that swell above. their minimum requirement.

Because keeping the vegetation alive within their irrigation.

Correct. And so because of the elevation differences, if they didn't plant trees where they're proposing them, they would still, the residents would still be able to see the development. And so moving them in a setting and not configuring them so that it's maintaining that visual barrier for parking with the shrubs and then for the building with the 15 foot tall trees.

They'll come back to us when they do their second section.

Correct.

They will have to come back for the next section.

Yes, sir. I make a motion to pass the variance request outline in section 78 through 162 of the city code of ordinance.

in the second form of the special vote. There is a request, I will add Section 7A-162 of the City Code for the Church of Montgomery. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed say no. Item number 14, consideration of possible action by the Planning and Zoning Commission on the final plaque for Lone Star Hills, section one, development number 2404.

This is the final plot for the Longstar Hills development. As a reminder, this is the development that's going along Longstar Parkway, just adjacent to the Buffalo Crossing development where Peel Point is. This plot is for Section 1 of the development. As a total of 90 proposed homes, the plot would or development would be subject to impact fees totaling the amount of That would be due at the time of, but before exceeding the time of recordation of the county. The building is currently under construction. As I understand, all of the water, the sanitary sewer and drainage is complete. There's the same with the paving. So the requirement for flats is that they have to submit a financial guarantee for all of it. providing a reduced bond or financial guarantee for the remaining work. But we have no concern that they're not going to be finishing because they're actively constructing as of today and will be continuing here in the near future. And so right now, this is a recommendation for P&Z to take this to council and then ultimately record the plan with them.

On page 131, what's the H stand for? 131. What's the H in the, if you're looking at the sheet, it's to your right. I'm on page 131. It says the reserve H. It didn't say reserve. I was like, okay, what's H mean? On the last page of the plan, you'll see all the reserves. Oh, there it is.

Okay.

What type of retaining wall are they building? They're segmented block. Okay. All right. And they're all built. I mean, you're more than welcome to discover it.

just wondering if it's kind of all, you know, because like HEB is doing it and then we've got some other people just seeing if the stone is all kind of come together in the city.

It's a very, it's the same contractor. It's just a different college. Yep.

Just with that master plan, I'm wondering if we're finally coming together with some kind of. There's not very many wall builders in town.

They may have different towns in the block. I feel like most of them are going to look the same.

This has already been looked at by city council. They're just waiting for us for any recommendations.

They've seen the plans and the preliminary plan as of y'all as well. So next step would be at the second June council meeting. They would take action on this final plan.

Saying yes to it. Yes, ma'am. I make a motion that we approve the final plan for the Lone Star Art of Exhibition. I make a motion for the action to go to City Council for the final plan for Lone Star Hills Section 1, development number 204. Second.

Okay, motion and second to pass the... Final plan on to the City Council for Lone Star Hills, Section 1, Development Number 2404. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed, no.

Motion passes. Thank you all. Thank you very much.

Any items we need to put on future dealers right now?

Motion for adjournment. I have a motion to adjourn. Second. I have a motion and a second for adjournment of the June 2nd meeting. All in favor say aye. Aye. Motion passed. I know. Just wait till I quit.

Then you won't have anybody asking any questions. Yeah, I know I read it. No, I read them today. Zach, I have to plant a tree before it's live. Yes.

How big is it? How big is it?
