City Council - Regular Meeting

I'm just teasing for all time. Like when I was bought $75,000 um I'm going to assume that no one has anything to say about the minutes. So, we'll move right on to number two. Uh there is a resolution for the steering committee for the city served by Atmos. This is kind of like the Encore, you know,

pretty much. Go ahead and explain it so they know it. So this is a meeting or two ago we talked about the encore steering committee where when they do rate cases and those things they represent a large block of cities across the state and rate cases involving atmos. So this is just the same thing. based on population. That way when there is if they do a rate filing instead of us having to go object separately and pay all the legal fees and steering committee represents all so this is just a resolution to continue everybody.

Yeah that's in that's in consent. Next is um the interlocal agreement between McGona County 911 and the city of Robinson for the purchase of voice and line recorder system. So this is a replacement. It's in the budget. Yeah. So um this is the recorder that records all of the police 911 phone lines, the lines coming in to police station plus all the radio traffic and everything. And uh they not last forever. So I think the last time we did one of these was five or six years ago, but 91 district does pick up twothirds of the cost. So we're eligible for replacement this year. We did put it in the budget. I think the final cost ended up being about 500 more. Do you know commander? I think about 500 more will be budgeted, but the police department has that they can transfer from online so that they have sufficient fun. This will replace the reporters and allow us to continue reporting on the communications police department.

Anybody questions? Anybody okay with that? That's in consent as well. Uh I'm going to flip-flop the next two and I'll tell you why in a minute. Uh they uh we're to consider submitting a nomination for seat one and seat two on the Mlennon County 911 emergency assistant district board. I've heard in the past that there wasn't any hands raised. I did find out that the two people currently serving have said that they would continue to serve. Does anybody at the table want to raise their hand or you want to let them continue on? I mean, I'm fine. Somebody if I need to do something, I'll do it. If somebody's happy doing it,

all right. So, we're going to we're going to go build the number five and let them submit. We're going to submit no nomination there. Now, number four. Back to number four. They do want the Mlennon County Rural Transit District would like a nomination for an elected official in the city of Robinson to serve as a member of their governing body. So, everyone knows what the ML that's the bus that comes up. Evidently, we're a good customer. So, u anybody just dying to do something? I'm happy. Okay. Anybody else? I don't want to step on anybody's toes at the table jumping up and down.

Okay. I think he did a great job. Charlie and and then he could I almost said we could just slap them with Charlie and they but we might not have any friends we got. So, uh since Charlie wasn't here. So, okay. So, I'm gonna uh So, we're gonna nominate Hope Camp. And can we do that in consent without talking about this again? Um yeah, you can move it on the consent agenda. Okay. Just just when you read it, include the include his name.

I mean, all right. Um Okay. So, I successfully put everything in there except the public hearing. Wait a minute. Can we talk about the Can we talk about the comprehensive plan while we're sitting here? Yeah. Okay, let's spend that time. Let's go. That way we don't have to do that. Come on, D. We're going to use our time wisely since we have so much of it. You can sit down. You don't have to stand up.

Have to sing what you're gonna say. Yes. Um, I've included a report in here that kind of summarizes the comprehensive plan, the purpose of it, uh, what's the benefits of the comprehensive plan, the typical elements that are with it. Um, time frames is typically with a comprehensive plan are 20 years. Typically, a moderately growing city's 5 to sevenyear update. We're into year 11 now. Um I've kind of included some items here that talks about the process we would go through for the um comprehensive plan itself. Uh first be a request for proposal. Then um that would last about a month. Then uh at the same time that the RFP is done, we'd have the council do a selection committee to rate those RFPs. And then they would give advice to the council on which uh potential uh corporation to pick for that. And normally what's happens is the council selects a corporation to take over the creation of that comprehensive plan. And on the same night we have a resolution before you for a plan advisory committee. comprehensive plan advisory committee that could consist of several groups of people and then the uh the corporation while they're doing this they would meet with the comprehensive plan advisory committee to um go through items associated with the their research into the comprehensive plan and then normally that would continue for a period of time. You'd have the uh plan that would brought forward to the council and then before that you'd have several meetings with the public, other interested entities, that sort of thing. And then eventually the finalized draft will be brought before you and for consideration. Now that time frame is roughly a year, year and a half to get that done. Estimated cost could be as high as a quarter of a million dollars to do that plan. There are items in place that talk about uh grants that could be gotten through the state and the federal government

potentially that would lower the cost of that, but that would probably be an after the fact. Um, so in other words, it' be a reimbursement if you were to get those grants. Um, I've kind of touched upon a unified development ordinance in this as well, which is normally done after the comprehensive plan because the comprehensive plan is the policies where you want the city to be in a set number of years. You have to change your ordinances around to make that a reality. So it's would be very similar. Um a unified development ord typically is a combination of a subdivision, zoning regulations and other regulations that are towards development design or like environmental standards that sort of thing. And um the process for that is quite similar in nature. Um the only difference is you would do a after the RFP you would do a selection committee. you would choose the the person that or entity that would do that unified development ordinance and instead of uh they would meet more with the department versus the public in creation of these special regulations and the department would take the lead as the adviser on them and then eventually that would come back before you eventually would approve that ordinance and that would be the new development ordinance the city is governor. So the subdivision and zoning regulations we're currently under would go away and that time frame is relatively the same time and the same cost. Now in certain circumstances you can write RFPs for the comp plan and the UDO together and through economies of scale you can reduce the cost of it potentially. So instead of costing you know X amount of dollars let's say you know in this circumstance the combination total maximum is 500,000 they might do it for$ 450 that sort of thing. So by economies of scale you reduce the cost of that and these are some of the things that would be need to be done to do a comprehensive plan and eventual unified development ordinance behind it. the the comp plan, the UDO is kind of the standard uh is kind of you would include everything together into that, but sometimes cities just do a

comprehensive plan and slowly update their ordinances as well. So, and this uh report before you touches upon some of these items and what needs to be done and I'm here for any questions you may have. Who's got questions?

I'll start with question about the unified development ordinance. Is that is that just a preferred option or is I haven't seen it done every so just comp plans and then as you kind of stated people council would add those to the ordinances slowly. You've been on top of ordinances quite a bit. So would we I mean I'd like to see the comp plan but do we need to go ahead and spend the 250 on this? I would advise you to get the optimal performance out of the comprehensive plan that that be that you go forward with that because I'll be honest with daily responsibilities it's difficult to do a lot of these code changes and it takes a staff to do the research go through the comp plan and draft these ordinances together. The best thing would be to do the UDO on top of the comp plan but I understand sometimes things happen to where that can occur.

And I think too it will depend how how much deviation you have from a current comp plan to a new comp plan because sometimes trying to retrofit or make adjustments to an existing ordinance becomes much more wonky than just go ahead and do a whole new ground a lot of work so and you know not having ever heard the unified development sounds like it's going to just wipe out or just start over a lot of that It wouldn't start over. It would start it would it would correct a lot of issues that we have with our code today. It' be the easiest way to do it that would reflect the new comp plan. There are elements working with this department. There are elements from our current codes we can incorporate into those. So it wouldn't wipe out necessarily everything. It would be a vast improvement on what we've got.

Is this something other cities, you know, local studio? Well, I mean, it's just it's just basically using the term unified development ordinance. It's just you're you're doing all the related ordinances on you're still basically have a zoning ordinance, comprehensive or zoning ordinance, a subdivision ordinance, city kind of environmental ordinance. It's just you're doing them all together as opposed to traditionally what happens is you got a zoning ordinance and you have a subdivision ordinance and they're all kind of being done separately and hoping that it all merges together. This builds it all together. So, it's not like it's it's not necessarily it's one ordinance. I guess it's more like a unified development ordinance process than actual unified development ordinance.

I like that. I really do. Um is this you said that the same vendor for both the comp plan and they might take in some savings.

Yes, because you would have one you would have one organization doing it all. It might give reductions in cost for that. I say might doesn't necessarily mean they will but I would think the fact that you have them doing the right after comment and doing the UDO you get economies of scale or cost. While I am interested in making sure our ordinances are reflective of what we want in the future, I am worried at the same time what can be brought in from the outside making difficult or a standard that's not matched around us. So I would say whoever we select process look for somebody who's really versed in the UDO side and that has size town, but something similar. You know, I wouldn't want to get somebody that's

in this kind of process is not taking somebody else's and modifying it. That's a whole lot cheaper. That's why this process is so expensive. You're actually trying. And I mean, that's what cities do. That's a lot of our current zoning ordinance. Those of you who were on the council remember the disaster we had back then.

We grabbed things other cities around us and other cities in Texas to try to incorporate the staffing or the time or the money to to go this kind of route. So, we kind of took what we had, modified what needed to be modified, brought in different components, and then we've spent the last eight years tweaking it because things come up and it's like, well, yeah, that probably wouldn't, you know, best approach in this situation, but given the where we were basically

that's going to be the challenge. We discussed that today. He's saying do it all in one and and I think part of it too is I think you could do get somebody to do both if you want to do both. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to do both. You could sequence it and you could bring somebody in and have them evaluate our existing ordinances to see how they would fit with a new plan to see just how much does need to be changed and you might be able to reduce that scope of work and maybe reduce that cost.

Well, if they if if the first one takes a year, year and a half to do anyway, if you could get it into two different Yeah, it's going to take two different budgets. have to break across two budgets, possibly three if you did the video. Again, just the comp plan will probably cut into two budgets.

Let me ask you this because y'all are in this every day, right? So, when I read this and I was going through it and I looked at the cost, I was just like, what is our true return on investment? Like, what are we really gaining out of this? It seems like it was less than 11 years ago and we have been tweaking it for the last eight years or so as things have come up as the environment's changed the variables have changed so to me even looking at that cost I'm like are we really needing a true overhaul from scratch or are there particular areas within our you know prior comprehensive plan that we say we just we need to and determine whether or not there's improvements.

I would say our current comprehensive plan is very couple chapters of our current comprehensive plan are really comprehensive plan. rest of it. I mean, we have things in there about how big every department's going to be and how many employees they're going to have. Of course, we've met none of those, soil analysis, that sort of thing.

We have whole sections about soils and all these other things that are really not part of the comp. I mean, the comprehensive plan should be here's how we want to see it. Here's here's how we want to see our city develop. These are these are the goals and objectives of our community for the next 25 or 30 years. what we want Robinson to look like and then here's how we want to get there and here's how it's going to affect transportation here's how it's gonna affect you know you want to have things like parks and services and city services those kinds of things mapped out but there's just a lot of stuff in our current plan

that is not really part of the comprehensive plan so I almost I would say we almost need to build a comprehensive plan from the ground up I feel like we do a lot of questions What do we want in the city? They all come back the same thing. I don't see anything never new. But I never come back surprised when I question what the citizens want the concerns issues so what are we getting that's

how does it how does it uh affect us as far as uh industrial development developers coming in looking at it having a plan like we have now versus a more comprehensive I mean to me that seems to be the only chance you really get the an economic deal. How does that make you think? So I would say developers don't necessarily look at your comprehensive plan. Your comprehensive plan is what you use to guide the continuity for city councils. So your city council stay on track. So you're not zigzagging all over the place.

Benefit of seeing this in another city and seeing what their comprehensive plans have looked like and how often they've updated them. And those cities have maintained their infrastructure. They maintain their codes and their cities are not master planned but developed a lot nicer. I'm just going to say I've been here 11 years and 77 corridors and want to complain how ugly is council in 11 years hasn't done a significant thing to do anything to to to steer any type of development to clean that up and that's been a consistent wish of citizens. So my hope with the comprehensive plan going forward doing a new one is that we would find actionable steps to take throughout the years to get there because it won't be an overnight change but something that plans out how we get there more so this is how we'd like to look at it there's no way to get there that's what we've been talking

we've done some things but I thought we tried going that route but our hands were tied in a lot of situations kind of like unless a business goes into a new or an existing property Unless it's a change in business and everything else, then we have to get them up to code. Otherwise, we can't do anything, right? So, it's kind of

I think a lot of it, you know, we've the city has proven itself to be attractive for residential development and a lot of commercial development. We need to have an outlook from Text Dot on what their grand plan for 77 is and we can expand on what the capabilities are that we can work to what they're building 77 studies that that we already did. I got us on board.

Well, we have that in the uh the MTP the 2050 MTP. It's to turn 77 the northern city limit to Moonlight Drive from a rural state highway road section to a urban. So it would become a curbon gutter with the center ra med the whole length limited you know you wouldn't have the suicide lane down the center. So that's what's in the current textile plan you know out to 2050

and and the desire for that is we hear all the time don't turn me into drive nobody wants what you see on drive that's It's not what Robinson wants. And that type of design prevents what you see where you're just so congested. A lefthand turn is so risky and you can't get in and out of businesses effectively. That's where we are. Where we are now. I mean, we have offset streets.

We have driveways too close together. and is as new people come in and buy existing homes and convert those to businesses and they keep those driveways and we don't make them join together and cross access and all that kind of stuff. So that's kind of where we get into the you know we want to balance the we want businesses to come here but a lot of times the businesses they don't want to make the investment so they don't want to pay the party they don't want to put in the new drive driver drive rooms they don't want to do the cross access and things so sometimes you have to have a plan in place that's rigid enough to say well maybe we just leave it like it is until those come along or you say our plan is for the next 10 years we're going let this but our goal is but you need to because my time here we kind of take a stand and then we give feedback and then we ease up. If you remember right, those of you on the council, it was the ordinance would pass in 18 saying all businesses that lose non stage got to pay the parking. Then for about five years, we let them put down millions instead of actually paving the park. And then finally, guess maybe about four years ago, we kind of dug in and said, "No, you got to pay."

That's the biggest complaint that we have to deal with. But if we had a written here it is this is how we're doing it and we're not deviating from the deal because as it is now every phone call from everyone that wants to do that is negotiating to deviate. But is that driven by a comprehensive plan or city policies?

Well, it's driven by both and the comprehensive plan is not just what you want. The comprehensive plan is what the community wants. So that's that's why this is a long process. You do surveys, you create you create this committee that's I've seen them where the committees will branch out and they may say we're the transportation folks and we're going to go talk to people about where do you want roads and where do you want connectors and where you want and this is a group that's amenities what do we want in parks and things like this and you merge it all together but it's not just what you want it's what the community so that's the hard part is getting the community input through surveys focus groups all that kind of stuff meetings whatever

I just want to touch on two the 77 corridor. Um, we're not attracting the type of businesses people are asking for because we have corated buildings, travel parking lots, no no safe access to 77. people are not investing millions of dollars into businesses to come here because and the types that I hear people ask because somebody wants to park it next to somebody's not nice properties because the traffic counts aren't there or it's just not a desirable place for them to put that kind of money. So we're losing out on business opportunities while we're trying to accommodate business that are just going to the same these same buildings and just turning ownerships or getting leased to another business every few years. Comp plans are going to help us attract better businesses that are going to stay going to last have a better business environment up and down 77. Second thing is Craig talked about it's not just that but you know parks and w you know grant money to add and update our parks. Without a comp plan, you don't have access. And that's the first thing that these grants are going to be looking at. What's your comp plan?

Is our comp plan invalid? It just doesn't match what I mean, our current comp plan basically has a combination of walking trail and shooting range over by the water plant. And then we have another big thing out in the Robinson Business Park now. And so none of those are really feasible. I'm just saying we have a lot of things on a wish list. 500,000. Yeah. I I didn't like the number myself. 500,000 actually do something versus 500,000 to pay someone to tell us what we should do.

Here's here's what last one. There are other cities doing these comp plans that are getting the grants before we are that are getting that are that are being uh more attractive to businesses than we are that are solving some of their problems without raising taxes and the comp plan is the foundation. What's it cost to get a proposal? I mean he's just estimating so we don't really know what's it does it cost us anything to see what it's going to actually cost. Well, that's the thing. It doesn't, but a lot of the private sector would be the ones going for this. They're going to be hesitant to give those prices out what they were going to be. Plus, we're not giving them a fully completed RFP to get a better lockdown of what those prices are.

That's what I'm saying. Could could we do is there any cost for us give developing an RFP? No. The cost we can then find out what this thing would actually cost. Well, it depend so it depends what you're going after because most of the firms that do this are engineering firms and you can't you have to do an RFQ qualifications which basically says you show us you're qualified to do this, we pick one and then we negotiate price. You're not actually allowed to we do engineering. You can't require them to give you a price up front. You have to negotiate a price after you pick one. And 250,000 is current pricing for for just the um not the UN. It's just for the comp plan.

That's current price. That's I can tell you 10 years ago in Lago business, suburban Austin, it cost us $185,000 for our comprehensive plan. That was 10 years ago. That's not kind of the inflation we've currently have now. That sort of thing. So 250 answer his question though. Yes, you could pay $45,000 to have an outside third party. write the RQ. Yeah, if you want, but yeah, I would I would say can we just pitch it on spot there? I don't I wrote three last I was going to say I don't think we need to pay somebody much money to do our put together. We can steal those from other cities all day long.

I'm gonna stop us there because we only got a few minutes. Um and again, this is not an action item. This is a discussion. That's why I wanted to use this time to have a discussion. And we are discussing this because you all asked to discuss it. But there's nothing going to happen tonight. So just just so it's not it's not we're not I'll take the brunt. This was brought up by the council and requested to be put because we we got three minutes before we turn around and start again. If anybody in the audience wants to speak tonight, remember the blue card in the corner because I got to have it. You got three minutes to get it. Okay, we're journ.

or let's stand while our favorite prayer warrior Jerry Freriedman comes up.

Oh goodness. Let's pray. Lord God, we are indeed grateful to you. Thankful, Father, for the opportunity to come together, to be here. Uh, Lord, there are times in our lives where we we recognize that that there are folks around us who are going to let us down. We know that folks don't live up to our expectations of them. And sometimes, to be honest, we don't live up to their expectations of us. And so, Father, we ask for your guidance. We pray, Father, for your help in all that we do. We pray, Father, that our goal will be to to look to your standard and not the standard someone else sets for us. And so, Father, we pray for this city council tonight. We ask, Lord, that they will seek your face in all that they do. We pray, Father, for our community, for our first responders. We ask, Father, for your protection over them and pray, Father, that you will continue to use them in every way possible. We pray for our students. We pray for our schools. We pray for our teachers. Lord, we could go on and on, but we thank you that you already know and you are already involved and you continually draw our attention back to the fact that you desire us to walk with you in all things. Thank you in Jesus name. Amen.

Amen. 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. May be seated. Roll call. Here, here. Here, here. Here.

Sorry, I don't have my glasses on. Uh, citizen comments. The city council invites citizens to address the council on any matter, including items on the agenda, except public hearings. Comments related to the public hearings will be heard when the public hearing starts. Remember to limit your comment to three minutes. The council is not permitted to take any action or discuss any item not on the agenda. When called to speak, please state your name and address. And if you're speaking on a specific agenda, state the item before your comments start. First item tonight, we have a presentation. We're already here.

I'm in the I'm in the You know, I don't wasting time.

We are here tonight to recognize our employee of the year.

And this is this is something we do every year about this time and we go through a process where we ask all of the employees around the city to nominate subordinates, co-workers or someone who they feel like in the previous year excelled, stood out, distinguish themselves from all the other employees. And so we ask for those nominations. They come in. They then go to the the executive staff of the city. They go through all the nominations, review them, employees and they usually narrow them down and they make a selection of that employee they feel like was above and beyond everybody else and deserve to be recognized for the job they've done over the last year. Excuse me. So, we went through that process again this year and we had a pretty much unanimous selection I believe which is always good. Sometimes it's close. It's hard to pick but this year I think one person stood out above the others. So we're here to make that presentation and recognize that employee tonight. So for say his name, just a few things. He was nominated by several other employees, not just co-workers, but employees from other department. So you know, it's always good when a person is working in a department and other employees in other departments see them and recognize the job they're doing. So this particular just time and again it's mentioned about his adaptability, his resourcefulness, his willingness to take on new things, his willingness to to volunteer for difficult situations, coming out working all night sometimes when we have particular issues in the utility department where somebody has to be out there make sure a lift station functions all night or something like that. Um everything he's taken on he's done very well. He's volunteered to take on some things. He started with us in the utility billing as our customer service representative. He kind of mastered that position, decided he was ready for new challenge. So an opportunity came on

utility department and utility maintenance and so he took that on and he's just continued to excel in that position. So for that reason, Jose Lona Kino is our employee here. That's yours. And then they have a little something here.

That's yours also. and we appreciate everything you do for the city and we know that you're just going to continue to do a good job and expect to see you moving up through the opportunities that come forth. Good job. Now I got to make sure I have Okay. Uh consent agenda items. Uh item seven to uh approve the minutes from the March 3rd, 2026 council workshop and regular meeting to uh approve resolution 2026-3R for the 2026 steering committee of the city served by Atmos membership invoice. Uh number nine, no number nine would pass it. And number 11, uh to nominate, we nominate uh Tim Holtamp as a elected official of the city of Robinson to serve as a member of the governing body of the Mlennon County Rural Transit District on resolution 2026-004-R. Can I have a motion?

Motion to approve. Second. All in favor? Any opposed? Thank you. Just glitched through. All right. 6:30. At 6:37, we will open a public hearing to consider and take possible action on ordinance 2026-005 of the city of Robinson, Texas. Changing the zoning from agriculture to rural estate on 1.7 acres located at 10004 Woodcock Drive on MCAD parcel ID number 414623. This is Zavala lot one block one you're up.

Um in in talking with the applicant they have additional information in regards to this to request to the council. Um so what I'm going to do I'm going go ahead and do at this time I'm going to turn it over to the applicant to make the request and I'll be here if you need me. Thank you. Good. Hello.

I'm Destiny Zala and I live at 104 Woodcock Drive. and the applicant. At this time, I would respectfully like to request permission to withdraw our application. After submitting the request, we discovered that the information we initially received regarding the deed for the property was incomplete. The deed was not provided to the deed that was provided with to us did not include any restrictions. However, after conducting init additional research, we learned that the earlier deed that was created in 1976 does contain certain restrictions that were not previously disclosed to us through our title company. Because of this newly discovered information, we believe it is appropriate to pause the process and fully review the legal documents to ensure we understand all conditions affecting the property before moving forward. Had the deed restrictions been fully disclosed to us, we would not have submitted the resoning application, it was never our intention to act in conflict with any deed restrictions. Rather, we were proceeding based on what we understood to be our rights under the deed information originally provided to us. For that reason, we ask the council to allow us to withdraw their application at this time. Thank you for your time.

Thank you. All right. I have I think every one of these is Yeah. In in no particular order, I'm going to go through these cards. If if the people that put these cards uh still want to speak, then you can come up to speak. First card I have is Chrissy Bralt. I believe with what the property owner has requested, I don't have anything to add this time. Miss Leva request not to say anything. Larry Rogers,

I'll declin further comment. Miss Oliver Oliver, you don't have to say anything. Okay. Just say and then Don Gro. Okay. Yeah. I would just like to thank them for withdrawing the motion. I think that saves our neighborhood. That's what we all been fighting for to keep our neighborhood as it is. And this is a great great thinking. Okay. Uh, no one else to speak. I'm going to close the public hearing at 6:41.

Discussion from council. Anybody have a motion? I'll make a motion to accept the application withdrawal is requested. I'll second that motion. I would I would like to discuss for a moment. I I Okay, we'll hang on to that. Go ahead. So, questions regarding u clearly from all the deni or the opposed letters we got allowing them to pull back their their application. U allows them back at another time. That correct?

They can apply for another reasonzoning. It's if they do now, they can come back anytime. If they if it's voted to be denied, they'd have to wait six months to come back. But it's my understanding that because of the deed restrictions, it's not their intent to come back. That's my biggest concern, just knowing that deed restrictions, if we do at some point, and I know it's me point because they're pulling it, but if we did for whatever reason approve that, the the legal recourse city and council members.

So, city council, cities do not enforce deed restrictions. So, what you would have is you'd have a conflict. You'd have a zoning in conflict with the deed restrictions. It would fall to the surrounding property owners. Now, they can come in like they did here and make the council aware and you can take that in your consideration for reszoning, but there's no liability to the city. We have the same situation will come up. You'll have a neighborhood that has a HOA and they may say, "Well, you can only lo use certain architectural styles." We don't enforce that. If someone comes in to get a building permit, we issue a building permit. They usually have their own architectural committees. But if we issue a building permit and it's in violation of their deed restrictions, it typically does not fall back to the city being responsible. And typically what we try to do is we say, "Hey, you got an HOA. You need to go talk to them." So, in this situation, if the city had approved this, it wouldn't necessarily expose the city, but it would have if the neighborhood had wanted to oppose it, they would have had to seek legal representation to do it. But it sounds like here you have a you have a newer deed and the older deed had the restrictions. They didn't receive the older deed. Once they realized, okay, we've got deed restrictions, we can't do what we want to do, they're withdrawing. I I still have some questions, but for the sake of time, you and me just offline discuss just the potential outcomes if if another case of this type comes up. I have some questions still, but

and and I'll just say that's the whole purpose of the public hearings is for these kind of things to come up when they do fall through the cracks because I believe the applicants had no idea that these deed restrictions, they just were reszoning the property. The neighborhood went, "Wait a minute, we have deed restrictions." they went back and found the dealersh. So, so this this is how the process is intended. This is why we do the public hearings and get people to offer the input. So, so this is actually an example of the process working the way the process is supposed to work. Very true.

Hearing what I've heard from the audience, sounds like that's a consensus that you're good with accepting the withdrawal. That everybody I still have a motion to second on the floor. All in favor? Any votes? Okay, we're done. Um, now, uh, the only other thing we got, is there any more discussion on this comprehensive plan over and above what we've done? We kind of I think we're good on my part. I'm the one pushing the majority of it. Yes. Did you not include 11? Oh, because we passed on that. No action.

No. No action on 12. We're going to let them We're not going to submit a nominee. All right. Okay. Uh so our discussion that we had uh before I close, I will say that I talked to uh Craig today about um an update on the road. Uh two things. The bridge opening looks like it's going to be in the afternoon next Tuesday, the 24th. Tuesday the 24th. drive bridge will open and then uh after the meetings with the the engineers it looks like June

yeah probably June to go out for bid on Greg Drive. So there one of the issues we have is we have four or five locations along Greg Drive where we have drainage under great drive and then heavy storms a lot of those issu areas will top the roadway. So they have surveyed those areas and they're reducing that to topographic maps so that they can properly size and design drainage covers under great drive before we make the improvements. And then we also have uh some sewer improvements. So they're working on that. the actual roadway itself is is probably the least complicated part of the whole project, the pavement design, but it is going to take a little time to to do the drainage and study the drainage to make sure they adequately sign the corporate. So, they're looking at probably sometime in June going out for bids and so we probably looking at awarding mid July or first meeting in August to actually award a project. So, and they are working on the um the uh reclamation manual for the streets that we feel we don't need the engineering and they're moving along with that and I hope that maybe in the next 60 days they might have that done and we can start identifying streets. Those will be more neighborhood streets. And we're also going to be meeting later this month or early next month to talk about starting the process on Hoffmeer and Tape. And Tate will also include widening the roadway in front of the high school, putting internally.

So I we talked about that today. So that way if anybody ask any of the rest of your questions, you'll have a have a decent answer. So anything else for anybody? If not 647
