Um that approval of this PL subject to all PL comments, conditions, and requirements being satisfied by all per city departments before filing for recordation with the county clerk of Ector County, Texas. I'm here for any questions. Okay. So, any questions?

I do. Um, it was noted that for lots 25 and 27, a portable water will have to be transported in. Are these going to be for home uh ownership? Are they going to be rentals? Um, they indicated it was for development purposes. Um, most of the time when we received these applications, they do not give us a clear specify. Yes. And um we do request it, but sometimes they uh when they indicate it's for ownership purposes, they can uh they can switch whenever they need to. This is also outside of the ET outside of the I did talk to the owner, one of the owners of this property. I think they're going to build residential homes here.

So, so that's a concern for me. I mean, to have to bring in the water. Okay. So, maybe they're going to drill. They could possibly not avail. Oh, it does say it's not available at that point because water well and sewer or not. Well, no, it doesn't say water well. I'm sorry. It's probably not there now. It's not there now. Probably going to go in and drill it. They're probably just getting ready to. But the lots proposed 25 lot 25 and 27 are not large enough for water. They are not. So they what they mostly have to do is uh Ectric County will require them to do a variance through the county

and um so they can obtain uh water services or either a water well and they do have to reach out to the health department for those water well or septic services. So if they get further along and they do develop for residential that would be a requirement further down. Yes. In the county. Yes. Okay. Does the city water go that far over on that side? No it doesn't at all. I think Gardell Water System is and not over there on that side. Yeah, I think it's somewhere close. Okay, we we talked about this. Um they do have a signature block here that says Greater Gardenell Water Corporation. So that might be an option for That's what I'm thinking.

Yeah, that's I mean where where the owners live down the street, he's on one acre track and he has water well accepted, but I'm pretty sure we discussed uh the Gardell water system could be an option. Yeah. Okay. That's enough. Yes. Good. Good question. Do we can we entertain a motion on this one? Uh uh motion to approve. Second. Okay. All those in favor? I. Okay. Motion passes.

Yes, you have the lot one on the very top with the lot two and three on each side. That middle section is going to be their access to all of the three lots.

So, I did see some notes there that the um the private road may have to be converted into see where yeah into a public road and that might take some of the space for those smaller lots. But if any development further down the line, they they would have to keep the the halfacre requirement.

If that is the way that these are approved, then yes, they would have to keep that uh requirement. I know that um Ectra County has uh development standards as well. So they would have to go through uh ectra county to either um or or resubmit um to either adjust those. Normally what we do is uh during this preliminary phase we um take into consideration the conditions that they have. So before that um that is completely approved through the final phase um they have to reach out to county and see what their um proposed use is going to be or proposal is going to be. So if let's it's just like a a what if type scenario. So what if they did take up too much of the space but they have to replplat

if by the final phase um the plats are the same then that's how they get approved. However, if they were to um come back or or take a readjust, let's say for example, they dejust the properties, then they would have to resubmit. Okay? And that's uh the same process. It would have to go through a replot and uh seek the advice of county see if that's to meets to their standards again. Okay. All right. Thank you. Okay. Can I entertain a motion?
