I'll second. We have a motion and a second to adopt our consent agenda with the... attachments that we added. Is that okay? Did we do that right? Any further discussion? Just for the people that did not see our work session portion of the meeting and for the people that are watching this live, we did approve and adopt our budget in that swift motion right there that we're fixing to do. And I Again, we can't state enough how much work goes into preparing a budget for a county this size and to be able to vote on it in like two seconds is crazy to me to even think about the amount of man hours…
Yeah, thank you, Mark. So do you need action right now today on that?
I'll second it. Second. Any discussion? Great project, guys. I'm so glad to see we haven't even got a new program started yet and already got a project going. And this is something that is being part of this commission and going out of this commission in a couple of months. It's very enlightening to see a program in place, like you said, Mark, award-winning from the 30 Cube to probably the new award-winning C3 program that's unlike it. Anything in this entire state, probably in the country, where we're providing services for municipalities to be able to have a chance to form infrastructure…
It might be a good little Facebook commercial or something. C3. Other municipalities. Future award winning, yeah. Only municipalities, not homeowners. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All right. That item F01 is taken care of. Thank you, guys. All right. There are no presentations today that I'm aware of. All right. And so we do have some public hearings today. We've got a few. And I just wanted to give some guidance and wisdom as we go through these public hearings. This is something that the commission is always tasked with and to hear these. And we want to sit up here and do the best job…
Thank you. Selina, any questions for Selina? Selina.
All right, no more questions for Celina. I'm gonna open the public hearing. Is there anybody signed up to speak on behalf of this project? Mayor Bass.
This how many, how many more, two more, or before, before we get any further with this case and for all cases that are being talked about rezoning today, a lot of people are jumping the gun on what a rezoning case is. We're this commission is tasked with changing the use of the land. We do not build subdivisions. We do not approve subdivisions. This county commission has nothing to do with the subdivision process. That's up to our planning and zoning board that does it on first Thursday nights of the month. So if we approve a rezoning request, that don't mean any houses are going to be built…
So thanks for speaking on behalf of neighbor against it.
Thank you. Thanks, Jessica. All right, anybody else? I'll let it go. Come on up to back to the microphone.
Mayor, if we were talking about access today, I would be worried about that, but I'm not Selena come back up here and I wanted to tell you something just as a staff member of this county commission, I appreciate what y'all do and y'all's. Way of doing things has kind of been denounced today in a public meeting and that's that's that's opinions and that's fine but I want to personally reach out to y'all and thank you for what you do your scar scorecard system is is what we use and it and and it went from where it went from where it went because the the applicant did what they were asked to do…
All right. I'm gonna close this public hearing and I'm gonna ask the commission for a vote.
Got a motion and a second to approve case Z25 slash 53. Any further discussion?
To approve this case hearing no further discussion, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. So we got three eyes and a no. Okay.
Any questions for Selina? Public hearing is open on KC25-62, Morgan Property Rezoning. Anybody signed up? Jessica McDeal.
Didn't you already do something with this? Was it presented as a RSF?
Right. So y'all took out a vast majority of lots to bring this presentation to us.
All right. Anybody else? Michael Niemeyer. Michael Niemeyer.
All right. Nobody else has signed up to speak. Close the public hearing. Commissioners?
We got a motion and a second to approve this case.
Hearing none, all in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. All opposed? Nay. Next case, Z26 slash 08. Coburn property.
I have a question. You've seen other people here today that's reduced the density of their projects to get them across the board because that's what they heard. You, you, you having some agreement with the mayor and a site plan, that's good for you. You rezone this RSF three, you do whatever you want. You don't have to live by that plan. And that's what scares us. You can go to the 10,000 square foot lots, which nobody wants. Why didn't you go to the drawing board back to the drawing board and consider a lower density subdivision like RSF two or even RSF one?
This meeting between us and Silver Hill, though, that's some agreement that y'all have made. This has nothing to do with water. So you got to quit referencing the silver. I mean, we asked you to get, you know, the mayor had his concerns and And an agreement with him with 12,500 lots is not an agreement with us. And our RSF3 does not say that. It says 10,000. Sure. Yes, sir. So it's an open-ended, you can do whatever you want with it once you get RSF3 designation. Go ahead, Commissioner Underwood. Sure.
So we do have a request from the applicant to withdraw this application. Is there anybody else that was signed up? All right, no requests. I mean, nobody else has signed up. Do I close the public hearing and take that vote? Yes, sir. Close that public hearing. Commissioner, do we have a motion to accept the withdrawal?
And I'll second. Got a motion and a second to accept the applicant's withdrawal. Any further discussion? All in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Commissioners, are y'all doing okay on breaks or anything?
Well, we got eight more or nine more. Let's do one more. Hensley, the Hensley property. How are you doing? What's your name?
