SO WE LOOK TO HAVE A VERY, UH, SUCCESSFUL EVENT THIS YEAR.
AND NOW THAT WE'RE ON ABOUT GREAT JOB WITH THE KIDS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE LIGHTING OF THE TREE ON THAT DAY.
UH, WE DISCUSSED ABOUT HAVING SOME MUSIC, SOME HOT
[00:20:01]
CHOCOLATE, SOME COFFEE OUT AT THE CONCESSION.SO W WE WE'VE HAD SOME OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
IF THE ZUMA OF THE CAMERA CAN ZOOM IN, WE CAN ALL ENJOY.
SO YES, WE WILL HAVE A LIGHTING OF THE, UH, OF THE TREE.
AND THEN THE FOLLOWING WEEK WE'LL HAVE THE PARADE WILL BE YES.
SO BEFORE THE SATURDAY, BEFORE WILL BE THE LIGHTING.
I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT, UH, OUR BUILDING HERE IN THE FRONT, THE AREA, IF WE COULD FIND SOME TYPE OF A CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS FOR THAT FRONT AREA, THAT WOULD BE NICE FOR THE CHRISTMAS PARADE.
I'LL REACH OUT TO NIKITA HALL.
I BELIEVE WE, UH, THEY PUT UP A CHRISTMAS TREE, RIGHT.
WE PUT IT INSIDE, BUT I KNOW WHAT THE COMMISSIONER WE'VE HAD REQUEST IS CAN WE DO SOMETHING MORE FESTIVE ON THE OUTSIDE? SO, UH, AND WE'RE VERY COGNIZANT OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S A CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY, BUT WE'RE ALSO COGNIZANT THAT WE'RE GOVERNMENT.

[9. Consideration and possible action to approve annual payment in the amount of $41,858.63 to Tyler Technologies for the Maintenance Agreement for the Police Department Records Management System/Computer Aided Dispatch and iPad Mobile Client Maintenance Plan.]
NUMBER NINE CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE ANNUAL PAYMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF A $41,858 AND 63 CENTS TO, UH, TELL HER, UH, TECHNOLOGIES WHERE THE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SLASH, UH, COMPUTER EIGHT, AIDED DISPATCH AND IPAD, UM, MOBILE CLIENT, UM, MAINTENANCE PLAN AND, UH, POLICE CHIEF, UH, MIGHT'VE BEEN 8% IN DECIDING FOR THE RECORD POLICE CHIEF MIGHT'VETHIS IS A YEARLY BUDGETED ITEM, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL, AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
I GOT A QUESTION ON, UM, ONE OF THE, THE LINE ITEMS THAT YOU HAVE, UH, IT'S STATES SOMETHING ABOUT, UH, THE CAT AND THEN ONE DISPATCHER SEAT INCLUDED MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE STARTS.
UM, I MEAN, WE'RE BEING CHARGED FOR THE SEAT.
IS THAT WHAT DUMMY IS KIND OF WHEN I SAW IT, I SAID, OKAY, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT THE SEAT.
IT'S JUST THAT THE ACTUAL MAIN, UH, UH, CAP SYSTEM.
SO THE MAIN, THE MAIN CONSOLE THAT WHERE THE DISPATCHERS.
WHAT, WHAT INSTALLMENT IS THIS? WHAT NUMBER? THIS ONE, THIS IS NUMBERS AND INSTALLMENTS, RIGHT? YEAH.
I THINK EVERY YEAR THAT WE HAVE IT, WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT.
SO I THINK WE'VE HAD TYLER FOR THREE YEARS ALREADY GOING ON THREE, TWO TO THREE.
IT'S NOT A, I THOUGHT THERE WAS A SET NUMBER OF INSTALLMENTS THAT WE WERE IT'S EVERY, EVERY YEAR WE HAVE TO PAY A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT TO IT BEFORE WE USED TO PAY IT TO NEW WORLD.
AND SINCE WE SWITCHED TO CAT SYSTEMS TO TYLER, WE PAID TO TYLER.
NOW IT SEEMS LIKE A HIGH AMOUNT FOR AN ANNUAL IT'S LIKE A, LIKE A PHONE UPGRADE.
SO I'M KIND OF CURIOUS TOO, IS IT, LET'S SAY YOU GO WITH ONE YEAR WITHOUT UPGRADING THE SYSTEM.
WHAT'S THE REO LOOK LIKE? IT'S NOT UPGRADING, IT'S JUST THE ACTUAL MAINTENANCE, LIKE ALL OUR WOULDN'T.
WE HAVE TO STORE OUR FILES ON OUR SERVER AND STUFF LIKE THAT, ALL THE STORAGE AND, UH, FOR THE AVLS A VEHICLE TRACKING, ALL THAT STUFF.
IT'S JUST A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT.
W WELL, WHO WERE, WHO WERE USING BEFORE, WE WERE WORRIED YOU'RE USING NEW WORLD, WHICH IS PART OF TYLER.
BUT THE ONLY THING WITH THAT IS THAT WE DIDN'T CONTROL OUR SERVER, THAT IT WAS CONTROLLED OVER HERE IN HEART ENGINE.
SO WHEN WE SWITCHED OVER TO TYLER, WE GOT COMPLETE CONTROL OF OUR OWN, UH, CAT SYSTEM AND RMS SYSTEM TO WORKING OUT.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A SERIES OF INSTALLMENTS FOR SOME REASON.
I MIGHT, I MIGHT'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
I AM AS BUDGETED FOR YES, SIR.
I GOT THE MIRROR PUTIN, UH, MOTIONS, AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER FRANCO.
[10. Discussion and possible action on the Cameron County Emergency Services District Number 1 Fire Services Agreement beginning October 1, 2021 and ending September 30, 2022.]
I DON'T RETAIN CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE KIMRA COUNTY, IN WHICH SERVICES DISTRICT NUMBER ONE BY OUR SERVICE AGREEMENT, BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 1ST, 2021 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2022 AND UH, CITY MANAGER.[00:25:02]
AND CHRISTINA, SUCH AS PERCENTAGES.UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS FOR THE RECORD, CHRISTINA SANCHEZ COURT ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE CITY OF SAN BENITO.
THIS AGREEMENT WILL PROVIDE FIREFIGHTING SERVICES TO THE RURAL AREAS OF THE CITY OF SAN BENITO, AND WOULD ALSO PROVIDE MUTUAL AID TO NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS WHEN NEEDED THE, THE WAY THE CONTRACT WORKS IS FUNDING IS BASED ON FIRE CALLS.
WITHIN THESE PAST FIVE YEARS, THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 640 FIRE CALLS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS OF SAN BENITO.
THE FUND AMOUNT IS 263,989 WITH 64 CENTS WITH AN ANNUAL BASE OF 15,000, WHICH TOTALS $278,989 AND 64 CENTS.
THIS AMOUNT IS PAID QUARTERLY AT A, AT A RATE OF $69,747 WITH 41 CENTS PER QUARTER.
THE CONTRACT DID INCREASE BY $31,201 AND 33 CENTS FROM LAST YEAR.
ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A $10,000 ALLOCATED SEPARATELY FOR THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND IT IS PAID QUARTERLY AT A RATE OF $2,500.
THE CONTRACT IS CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED BY LEGAL I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS.
UH, LET ME TELL YOU WHY IT'S ON THE AGENDA.
THIS WAS PROVIDED TO THE CITY ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO TO CHIEF BAUTISTA, CHIEF
UH, YOU KNOW, THIS CONTRACT STARTED OCTOBER ONE, WE'RE ALREADY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH.
IT CAME TO US AFTER THE START-UP THIS NEW FISCAL YEAR.
SO, UH, HAVING, UH, CHIEF OUT, THIS IS HIS FIRST YEAR TO SEE THIS.
SO, UH, HAVING READ THE AGREEMENT, UH, IT IS NOT IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO RECOMMEND, AND WE'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT POINT.
UH, UH, THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT THEY, THAT THE COUNTY ATTEMPTED TO DO LAST YEAR IS INSERT LANGUAGE THAT DOES NOT SERVE THE CITY'S BEST INTERESTS.
SO, UH, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ONLY, UH, THAT SA SAN BENITO NOT AGREED TO THIS, BUT ALSO THE CITY OF HARLAND HAS NOT AGREED TO THIS.
UH, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAID FOR THE APARTMENTS WITH CIVIL SERVICE AND VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTY.
SO, UH, WITH THE LANGUAGES IS IF YOU WISH TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE CAN, BUT LET'S SEE WHAT THE COUNTY COMES BACK.
MR. BELL DID REACH OUT TO TOM HUTCHINS, THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR FOR CAMERON COUNTY.
CAUSE HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE COPIED IN THE EMAIL.
THE APPARENTLY THE AGREEMENT WILL FROM LAST YEAR, WE'LL CONTINUE IN FORCE UNTIL WE REACHED AN AGREEMENT.
SHOULD WE REACH ONE OR NOT? BUT, UH, AT THIS TIME WE'RE PRESENTED TO YOU BECAUSE IT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO THE CITY.
WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING THAT IT BE APPROVED OR DENIED THAT HE BE TABLED, WHICH IS WHAT'S, IT'S IN THE SUMMARY.
AND UNLESS WE REALLY WANT TO GET INTO THAT DISCUSSION, I THINK IT'S JUST BEST THAT IT DOESN'T SERVE OUR BEST INTEREST TODAY.
IT COULD GO BACKWARDS THOUGH, RIGHT? IT SHOULD GO BACK TO WHAT IT WAS.
I MEAN, THAT'S, WE WORKED ON, YOU SAID UNTIL IT IMPROVES, BUT COULD IT GET WORSE FOR US? WE DON'T APPROVE TODAY.
WELL HERE, UH, NO, I THINK THAT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT IF YOU APPROVE WHAT YOU'RE GETTING, YOU MIGHT AS WELL NOT HAVE ANYTHING BECAUSE, UH, IT'S NOT GOING TO SERVE YOUR INTERESTS.
SO IF THIS IS ALREADY BAD, TO ME, IT CAN'T GET MUCH WORSE.
OTHER THAN YOU DON'T HAVE AN AGREEMENT, WHICH MEANS THAT WE ONLY TAKE CARE OF OUR CITIZENS.
THERE WERE CERTAIN THINGS THAT WERE NEGOTIATED AND SOMEHOW SOME OF THESE THINGS ENDED UP BACK IN THE CONTRACT.
WE'RE PRETTY OPTIMISTIC, BUT SOME ADDITIONAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE SERVICES DISTRICT THAT, UH, WE CAN HAVE A CONTRACT THAT'S FAIR TO BOTH SIDES.
UH, OF COURSE, UH, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK OUT FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CITY OF SOMEBODY THOUGH AT ALL TIMES.
SO WITH THAT, I MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE.
LET ME, LET ME ASK ONE MORE QUESTION.
SO BY TABLE IN THIS, THEN WE DON'T HAVE A CONTRACT FOR THE COUNTY.
YOU DO CONTINUE UNTIL WE GET A NEW ONE THEN.
THE, AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT WE WERE TOLD.
UH, SO I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IF, UNTIL WE REACH AN AGREEMENT, IF WE GET A CALL FOR SERVICE OUT IN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL RESPOND.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE LEFT WITHOUT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO LEAVE WITHOUT SERVICE, BUT AGAIN, UH, YOU KNOW, OUR JOB IS TO PROTECT THE CITY'S BEST INTEREST, OF COURSE.
SO WE GET THE, UH, MOTION BY COMMISSIONER OR AS SOON AS YOU CAN BY COMMISSIONER OF YOUR BRONCO, ALL IN FAVOR, ANY NAYS MOTION PASSES
[11. Presentation on the proposed Planned Development District Number 2 - Community of Russell Ranch by Mr. David Floodman, UR Home.]
[00:30:06]
OKAY.I DON'T REMEMBER LIVING IN PRESENTATION AND PROPOSED PINE, THE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
NUMBER TWO, UH, COMMUNITY OF RUSSELL WRITES BY MR. DAVID, THE FLOOD MAN, U H U R HOLMES.
AND MR. BERNARDO, LOUISE PRESENTED SADDLE THANK YOU, MAYOR.
IT IS A PROPOSAL, A HUNDRED, FIVE LOT SUBDIVISION.
THE DEVELOPER IS REQUESTING CONSIDERATIONS WAS ESTABLISH A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
WE HAVE THE REPRESENTATIVE MR. FLOOD, MAN, UM, DISTRICT HERE, YOUR HOME RANCH.
SO YOU'VE GOT THAT GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
MY NAME IS DAVE FLOOD MEN WITH YOU, OUR HOME TEXAS, OUR, UH, ADDRESS IN THE VALLEY IS 4 8 4 7 SOUTH JACKSON ROAD IN EDINBURG.
UH, WHAT WE LIKE TO DO PROPOSE TO YOU IS A NEW SUBDIVISION IN SAN BENITO.
WE'VE UH, GOT A 25 ACRES HERE.
THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED UP ON THE SCREEN THAT SHOWS THE SHAPE OF THE PROJECT.
IT IS BOUNDED BY LOVETT ROAD ON ONE SIDE AND RUSSELL ROAD ON THE OTHER PROXIMITY OF THIS PROJECT, UM, TO THE WALMART, UH, SUPERSTORE AND HEB IS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE.
UM, IT'S VERY CLOSE TO SAN BENITO HIGH SCHOOL AND, UH, MANY OF THE OTHER, UH, IMPORTANT PLACES.
THE NEW RGV EPICENTER IS, UH, WITHIN FIVE MILES.
WE'RE 15 MINUTES TO THE INTERNATIONAL, UH, AIRPORT, UM, BEING LESS THAN AN HOUR TO SOUTH PADRE AND SPACEX, WE FEEL THAT THIS IS AN, UH, A GREAT LOCATION FOR, UH, BRINGING PEOPLE TO THE COMMUNITY OF SAN BENITO BESIDES, UH, GENERATING THE ADDITIONAL EMPLOYMENT.
UM, DURING CONSTRUCTION RUSSELL RANCH WILL ATTRACT NEW RESIDENTS, UM, TO THE COMMUNITY AND HELP ENHANCE YOUR TAX BASE.
UM, THE IDEA IS TO TAKE THIS PROPERTY, WHICH IS AT THIS POINT, UH, PRETTY MUCH COMPLETELY OVERGROWN.
UM, WE WILL COME IN AND, AND PUT A VERY ATTRACTIVE, UH, SUBDIVISION IN THERE.
UM, THIS IS JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW WE WOULD TREAT THE ENTRANCES, UH, SO THAT YOU GET A GREAT SENSE OF ARRIVAL, UH, TO THE COMMUNITY.
IT'S GOING TO BE COMPLETELY ENCLOSED WITH, UH, COMMUNITY FENCING.
SO FROM THE STREET, IT'LL HAVE A GREAT APPEAL, UM, BECAUSE OF IT BEING SITUATED NEXT TO THE, UH, DRAINAGE, UH, CHANNELS, THERE'S ACTUALLY AREAS TO WALK THERE.
UM, YOU CAN WALK ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE STORES, UH, WITHOUT BEING ON THE ROAD.
SO IT'S, UH, WE THINK THAT'LL BE ATTRACTIVE FOR THE RESIDENTS.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE HOMES THAT WE'RE WE CURRENTLY ARE BUILDING.
UM, THIS YEAR WE'LL ACTUALLY BUILD CLOSE TO 80, UH, 80 HOMES IN THE VALLEY.
UM, WE'RE, WE'VE GOTTEN A REALLY GREAT REPUTATION, EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVEN'T HEARD OF US BECAUSE WE JUST, WE DON'T DO A LOT OF ADVERTISING.
WE JUST TURN OUT GREAT HOMES, THIS'LL BE OUR FIRST SUBDIVISION.
THAT'LL BE, UM, EXCLUSIVELY, UH, FOR OUR HOMES AND, UH, TO BE BUILT THERE.
UM, WE WILL HAVE OTHER BUILDERS, BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO CONFORM TO, UM, A RIGOROUS, UH, ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS THAT WE'LL SET AS PART OF THIS, UH, PDD.
UM, EACH HOME IS GOING TO INCLUDE LANDSCAPING IN THE FRONT AND REAR AND PRIVACY FENCING FOR THE BACKYARDS.
SO WE FEEL IT'LL BE A VERY ATTRACTIVE, UH, OPTION IN THE, IN THE CITY.
THIS IS, UH, A PLAT HERE SHOWING BASICALLY THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOTS THAT WE ENVISION BUILDING HERE.
UM, THE SMALLER ONES IN BLUE WILL BE FOR A SMALLER GARDEN STYLE HOMES AND MORE ATTAINABLE PRICE POINTS.
UM, GREAT FOR ENTRY-LEVEL OR, UH, RETIREES THAT ARE TRYING TO DOWNSIZE.
WE THEN IN THE GREEN HAVE, UM, YOUR AVERAGE SIZE HOMES, UH, PROBABLY 16 TO 1800 SQUARE FEET.
[00:35:01]
THE YELLOW IS OUR LARGER WHERE WE CAN PLACE LARGER HOMES IN THERE.UH, THERE ARE LARGER LOTS ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT ARE THE SIZES OF THE, UH, THE STREET, THE WIDTH OF IT, THEIR STANDARD 33 FOOT, UH, WITH, ON THAT YOU'VE MENTIONED THREE LOT SIZES.
DO YOU HAVE THE DIMENSIONS THREE BASIC? UM, YEAH, THERE, THE SMALLER ONES ARE 55 BY, UH, TYPICALLY LIKE 110.
THE LARGER ONES ARE 60 BY, UH, ABOUT 115.
AND THEN THE LARGEST ONES, UM, THERE, YOU KNOW, 10,000 SQUARE FEET, UH, SOME OF THOSE, THE PRICE RANGE OF THE NEW HOMES, WE DON'T HAVE ANY SET THE GARDEN HOMES.
WE'RE TRYING TO ACTUALLY GET THEM IN BELOW 200,000.
WE'RE TRYING TO TRY TO HIT THAT MARK WITH THE FLUCTUATIONS IN MATERIALS RIGHT NOW.
IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SET THE PRICES AT THIS POINT.
WHY ARE YOU THAT, THAT STUFF PROPERTY
SO BESIDES THE MITIGATION OF ON ON-SITE WATER, UM, WE WOULD ALSO BE WIDENING THAT TO ACCOMMODATE MORE FOR THE EVERYBODY UPSTREAM FROM US.
UH, AND THEN TO ADDRESS ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WAS, UM, THAT WAS EXPRESSED, ALL OF OUR WATER IS ACTUALLY GOING AWAY FROM LOVETT ROAD AND, UM, AND DIRECTED INTO THE CHANNEL TO THE WEST OF THE PROJECT.
SO WE WON'T BE ADDING ANYTHING TO THAT, UH, LOVETT DRAINAGE, ANY WHICH WAY DOES THE WATER RUN ON THIS DRAINAGE CANAL OR PUBLIC WORKS? OH, IF I RECALL, CORRECT.
SO IT WOULD BE, YEAH, IT GOES NORTH CROSSING RUSSELL.
SO PARALLEL WITH LOVETT BASICALLY AWAY FROM WALMART.
SO, UH, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS THE, THE POWERPOINT WITH THE DRAIN, THE WHITENING OF THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL, THAT WAS, THAT WASN'T DISPLAYED UP ON THE SCREEN.
SO, UH, YOU'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS NOT SAYING, THIS IS THE REASON THIS WAS KIND OF HELD BACK IN NOW AND I'LL TOUCH UPON IT.
UH, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S TWO LAWS THAT ARE HOLDING DETENTION, BASINS.
THE, THE PONDS AND THE WHINING OF THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL.
HERE'S THE CONCERN IS THAT THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT HAS NEVER ALLOWED ANY OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN CAPACITY OR HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT CAPACITY IS FOR THE GENERAL REGIONAL AREA? AND THEN HOW DO YOU IMPROVE IT? AND WHO'S GOING TO OWN IT.
WHO'S GOING TO MAINTAIN IT FOR A LONGTERM PICK.
AS PART OF OUR REQUIREMENT IS THAT YOU MITIGATE BEFORE HITS THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL, THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL DOESN'T BELONG TO THE DEVELOPMENT.
IT ACTUALLY BELONGS TO THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
SO ARE YOU UTILIZING IT? SO UNTIL WE SEE AGREEMENTS, WE WOULD BE VERY CAUTIOUS AT OUR LEVEL, THE THREE PRO THE THREE HOME SITES OR THE THREE TYPES OF HOMES THAT ARE GOING TO BE, UH, WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT.
UH, WE ONLY HAVE SINGLE FAMILY ONE, SO ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT WOULD BE A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
SO YOU WOULD CREATE, OR YOU WOULD LEGISLATE OR APPROVE THE LEGISLATION, AN ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WITH DIFFERENT VARYING SIZES OF LOTS IDENTIFIED IN THE WAY THAT MR. FLAMAN DID.
AND WE WOULD SET DOWN SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS ROADWAY WITH HE'S PROPOSING IT'S 33 FEET FROM BACKUP CURB TO PACK A CURB, BUT IT'S ONLY A 50 FOOT.
RIGHT-AWAY NOT A 60 FOOT RIGHT AWAY.
SO THEREFORE YOU'VE GOT WATER AND SEWER LINES IN A VERY NARROW AREA.
IT MAY BE UP IN THE FRONT YARD, SOME OF THOSE UTILITY EASEMENTS.
SO FOLKS DON'T HAVE A LOT OF YARD, AND THAT'S A VERY COMMON PRACTICE WHEN YOU'VE GOT HIGH DENSITY OR YOU'VE GOT, UH, AREAS LIKE THAT, UH, MORE METROPOLITAN AREAS.
SO THESE ARE NEW CONCEPTS THAT ARE COMING TO SAN BENITO.
NOW, NEW CONCEPTS IN THE WAY THAT THEIR NEW HOMES, YOU GO INTO THE OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS, WE HAVE HOMES WITHOUT GARAGES AND STEPS ARE, AS YOU'VE APPROVED A DEVELOPMENT MANUAL TO BE APPROVED PART OF THIS PART OF OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH THIS PLAN, WITH THIS DEVELOPER OR ANYBODY THAT'S COMING IN.
AND WE HAVE OTHER PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, WE'LL INCORPORATE CERTAIN DESIGN STANDARDS, CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS IN THAT ORDINANCE BECAUSE THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IS PART OF YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 14 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, BUT YOU HAVEN'T SET THE STANDARD FOR THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
SO THEREFORE IT'S NOT GIVEN, THIS IS THE PRESENTATION.
[00:40:02]
WHEN, WHEN MR. FLEMING IS DONE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.SO HE'S ADDRESSED ONE CONCERN.
THE OTHER CONCERN IS THE BRIDGE ON LOVE IT THAT BELONGS TO THE CITY.
WE HAVE A STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS THAT ARE CONTRACTED BY US, SO THAT CAN EASILY BE RESOLVED, BUT THAT MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE, UH, YOU, OUR HOMES HAS RESPONSIBILITY TO LOOK AT, BUT IT MAY BE AS WE CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD, THAT WE MAY REQUIRE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
I DON'T KNOW THE KIND OF TRAFFIC FLOWS THAT ARE GOING TO HIT RUSSELL OR, UM, LOVE IT.
THEY NEED TO MAKE A BUSINESS DECISION.
AND WE ALL WANT DEVELOPMENT COMING HERE.
WE ALSO WANT SMART DEVELOPMENT, BUT HE WANT DETENTION.
WE WANT THESE THINGS TO ADDRESS.
SO WE'RE, I'M ALWAYS THE MORE CAUTIOUS MANAGER OR, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR PLANNING STAFF WILL LOOK AT THESE OR RUN IT THROUGH, BUT THEN WHEN IT MAKES IT TO US, WE WILL LOOK AT THOSE ORDINANCES.
WE'LL LOOK AT THOSE STANDARDS AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINEERING FITS THAT THE DRAINAGE FITS THAT THE ROADWAYS AREN'T BEING IMPACTED.
AS YOU KNOW, ON RUSSEL LANE AT 5 0 9, WE'VE GOT A SCHOOL THAT CREATES A NIGHTMARE OVER THERE, RIGHT? SO, UH, WE, WE'RE ALREADY DEALING WITH RUSSELL LANE AND PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO GO INTO HARLINGTON.
SO WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE THOSE KINDS OF ISSUES.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS CORNER, THE SMALLER SIDE IS, UH, THE DEPTH OF THIS LAW.
SO 150 FEET FROM THAT CORNER, YOU'VE GOT EXIT ON TO LOVE IT.
AND I'M TALKING ABOUT THE INTERSECTION OF LOVING AND RUSSEL.
THOSE KINDS OF INTERSECTIONS CONCERNED ME IN THEIR PROXIMITY, BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF ROOM TO MOVE THE HOUSES DOWN.
AND SO IT'S KIND OF LITTLE THINGS I JUST MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND.
WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL, ALL OF THESE THINGS IN MR. FLAMAN NEEDS TO REPORT WHAT HE HEARS HERE AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND WHAT THE PUBLIC IS SAYING ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT.
OUR INTENTION IS TO ENHANCE THE, THE AREA AND, UH, AND ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS STATION.
I DON'T RECALL WHERE IT'S GOING, UM, TO WHICH LIFT STATION.
UM, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT FAR.
WE'VE NOT SEEN CONSTRUCTION PLANS.
THESE ARE VERY HOT, YOU KNOW, A HIGH ELEVATION, YOU KNOW, DISCUSSIONS, YOU KNOW, SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING TO IMPACT, BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S IMPACT FEES DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE LIFT STATION, WHETHER THEY WOULD NEED TO BE UP-SIZED, YOU KNOW, AND THAT WOULD BE A DEVELOPMENT CALL.
SO, I MEAN, UH, AGAIN, UH, THOSE ARE ALL DEVELOPMENT CALLS.
WHEN WE HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS, HE JUST NEEDS TO, THEY'RE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS A WORTHWHILE PROJECT, SO I'M VERY CAREFUL ABOUT ANY, ANY, AND MR. FLOOD MAN UNDERSTANDS.
I AM VERY CAREFUL ABOUT VESTING ANY DEVELOPMENT TOO FAR, ALONG UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED AS POTENTIAL ISSUES FOR US, I WOULD MUCH RATHER LIKE TO SEE A LARGER LOTS.
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU, OUR HOMES DOES, WE DO LARGER LOTS.
THE, UH, THE ISSUE ON THIS PROPERTY IS THE DIMENSIONS OF IT.
AS YOU SAW THAT IT'S KIND OF AN ODD, UH, ARRANGEMENT THERE.
SO WE'VE HAD TO GET REAL CREATIVE, UM, LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT.
HAS IT BEEN REPLANTED ALREADY? WE'VE SEEN NO, SIR.
NO, IT HASN'T COME TO YOU YET.
WE'VE, WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING PRELIMINARY PLATS AND, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, SYSTEMS WITHIN, WITHIN THE PROPERTY.
WELL, I'M SURE THEY'VE DONE A IT'S ON THE PROPERTY.
IT'S A GREENHOUSE AND AN OLD HOME.
AND THERE'S SOMETHING ON THAT PROPERTY ALREADY ON THE PROPERTY IS BASICALLY PAID ON THERE.
SO OUT THERE THERE'S, THERE ARE SOME, UM, BASICALLY DILAPIDATED GREENHOUSES THAT, UM, THEIR RENT, SOME OF THE REMAINS ARE THERE, THERE IS NO HOUSE, UH, STILL THERE.
UM, IT'S BASICALLY COMPLETELY OVERGROWN.
I ATTEMPTED TO WALK THROUGH IT THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE.
I COULD, I COULD GET PENETRATE PART OF IT, BUT THE REST OF IT'S JUST COMPLETELY OVERGROWN.
I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THE PRESENTATION TO THE COMMISSION.
I WOULDN'T MUCH JUST TO HAVE MY PERSPECTIVE.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MUCH LARGER, UH, MAYBE DOUBLE THE SIZE, HALF ACRE, LOTS ACRE, LOTS.
UM, WE HAVE A LOT OF 50, EVERYBODY TRIES TO MEET THE MINIMUM, RIGHT.
THE 50 BY, I THINK WHAT'S THE MINIMUM WHERE'S, UM, BERNARD 50 BY ONE 20.
IS THAT THE MINIMUM 50 BY A HUNDRED SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.
SO I WOULDN'T LIKE TO SEE LARGER LOTS.
AND THEN THAT WOULD PROBABLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CARS AND POPULATION, BUT AT LEAST IT BRINGS SOME TAX REVENUE.
UM, AS FAR AS THE DENSITY, UH, TO DO THAT SIZE OF A LOT, BECAUSE EVEN WITH THOSE SIDES OF LOTS, THAT THE DEPTH AND DIMENSIONS DON'T REALLY LAY OUT, WE'VE TRIED, WE'VE TRIED THAT.
SO THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY KIND OF INVOLVED
[00:45:01]
LOOKING AT OTHER SOLUTIONS AGAIN, THIS WEEK, WE SEE A LOT OF DEMAND FOR, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE DOWNSIZING OR, YOU KNOW, FAMILIES JUST STARTING OUT, UH, THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE BIGGER HOMES AND THE BIGGER LOT SIZES.THAT'S WE, THAT OUR STUDIES SHOW THAT THAT THAT WOULD BE ATTRACTIVE.
I THINK THERE'S 10 ACRES FOR SO ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY RIGHT ALONG THE CANAL SOLD ALREADY.
BUT WE HAD LOOKED AT THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, AND IT DIDN'T ALLOW US MUCH BETTER, A MUCH BETTER LAYOUT IF WE INCLUDED THAT THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE FIRST PROPERTY WE LOOKED AT.
I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH UP ON THE HOA THAT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN ALL COMMON AREAS.
WHAT ARE YOUR COMMON AREAS IN THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT? WHERE DO YOU LIVE? LOOKING AT? THE COMMON AREA WOULD BE ALL OF THE STREETSCAPE.
SO THE ENTRANCE IS, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE LANDSCAPING THERE AND, AND MAKE THEM ATTRACTIVE.
UM, ALL OF THE DETENTION, THERE'S TWO DETENTION AREAS THERE THAT WE WOULD MAINTAIN AND MAKE, MAKE IT SO THAT PEOPLE COULD KIND OF USE THAT SPACE.
AND COMMISSIONER, YOU MIGHT RECALL THAT WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION THAT, UH, WHERE I COME FROM HOS AND POS ARE VERY COMMON THAT WE LIKE, AND WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF ISSUE WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF, UH, RETENTION AND DETENTION PONDS THAT DEVELOPERS ARE PUTTING INTO KIND OF A PUBLIC AND THEN ABANDONED THEM.
SO WE'RE ADDRESSING THOSE THINGS THROUGH HOS POS OR THROUGH ORDINANCES.
SO, UH, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE AWARE OF.
UH, I SAW YOUR RED MARKS ON THEIR DETENTION AREAS.
AND I SAID, WELL, I HOPE THEY JUST, AND I LIKE THAT, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT AS WELL.
SO YEAH, IT REALLY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
IT'LL BE KIND OF A LITTLE GATHERING PLACE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN, WE HAVEN'T DESIGNED IT, WHAT WE'LL PUT IN THERE, BUT IT'LL DEFINITELY BE, YOU KNOW, UH, SOUGHT IN THERE.
UM, AND THEN WE MIGHT PUT SOME PICNIC TABLES IN OR SOMETHING IN THERE THAT, THAT WILL WITHSTAND, UH, BE AN UNDERWATER PART OF THE TIME.

MAYOR COMMISSIONERS BERNARDO LEAGUE IS PLANNING MANAGEMENT, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
UH, AS THE CITY MANAGER DID, DID STATE.
WE ARE GATHERING INFORMATION, UH, ON THIS PROJECT.
AFTER THAT, THEN THEY WOULD, UH, IF IT DOES, WE DO COME INTO AGREEMENT AND WE DEVELOP AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER.
AT THAT TIME, IT WILL COME BACK TO YOU TO CONSIDER A REZONE CHANGE, SHOULD THAT PASS.
THEN THEY WOULD GO AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SUBDIVIDING OF THE LAND.
SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS IS ONE OF, OF OTHER PROCESSES TODAY, BEFORE YOU, AS A PUBLIC HEARING TO SOLICIT INPUT REGARDING THE PROJECT, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER ON SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2021.
AND THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE WAS MAILED TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FOOT RADIUS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY LOCATION.
THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION HELD A PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2021 AND TWO PROPERTY OWNER OWNERS WITHIN THE 200 FOOT RADIUS RESIDING AT 5 37 LOVETT ROAD AND 5 24 LOVETT ROAD VOICED OPPOSITION TO THE REZONE REQUEST.
THE PROPOSED PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED SINGLE FAMILY ONE AND AGRICULTURAL OPEN SPACE, FUTURE LAND USE MAP, DESIGNATES THIS PRODUCT, THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY AS GENERAL RESIDENTIAL.
AGAIN, IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

[00:50:06]
GOOD EVENING.AGAIN, MY NAME IS DOLLY LOVETT AND I DO OWN A HOME AT 5 24 LOVETT ROAD.
AND I AM VOICING OPPOSITION TO THIS.
I REALLY LIKED THE ZONING THAT IT CURRENTLY HAS.
UM, THIS, THIS, UH, SUBDIVISION THAT THEY'RE PLANNING IS A VERY DENSE SUBDIVISION.
AND CURRENTLY, UH, THE PEOPLE THAT, THE HOUSEHOLDS THAT USE LOVETT ROAD AND RUSSELL LANE TO COME TO AND FROM WORK COMMERCE WAS SAN BENITO, ET CETERA.
UH, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY ALREADY 105 HOMES THERE.
UM, AND, AND THAT'S LOOKING, COUNTING THE HOMES ON GOOGLE EARTH.
UM, IT IS ALSO USED AS A SHORTCUT TO GET TO WALMART FROM PEOPLE FROM RIO HONDO, FROM HARLAN GIN TO, TO GO THE BACK WAY TO GET TO, TO WALMART.
AND SO THERE'S ALREADY PLENTY OF TRAFFIC AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN COUNT THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SCHOOLS THAT EMANATE FROM THE WILLIAMS ROAD RUSSELL LANE INTERSECTION.
UM, THE, THE TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, IT JUST KIND OF SCARES ME.
WHAT'S THE TRAFFIC GOING TO LOOK LIKE ONCE THIS HAPPENS? AND IF, UM, YOU KNOW, I COULD SEE WIDENING THE ROADS, BUT THAT DOES INCLUDE SINCE WE'RE KIND OF BOUND BY A DITCH RIGHT THERE AS WELL.
THE BRIDGES WOULD BE ANOTHER ISSUE TO, TO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WIDENING THOSE ROADS.
SO I JUST THINK THAT THE, WE DON'T QUITE HAVE THE INSTRUCT INFRASTRUCTURE SET UP YET TO, TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN.
AND I THINK THAT I AGREE THAT, YOU KNOW, LARGER LOTS SHOULD BE USED.
I DON'T, UM, THINK THE, THE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE FLAVOR OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
ISN'T SO MUCH OF A GARDEN HOME TYPE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE WAS INTEREST AND I'VE HEARD OF SEVERAL PEOPLE HOLDING INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY THAT WANTED TO BUILD HOMES THERE, BUT THEY WEREN'T THESE DEVELOPERS.
SO, UM, ANYWAY, I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT COULDN'T WORK OUT, BUT THAT'S THE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE KIND OF NEIGHBORS THAT, THAT I THINK MOST OF US WANT TO HAVE AS THE HOMEOWNERS THAT, THAT INDIVIDUALLY BUILD THEIR OWN HOMES.
SO, UM, ANYWAY, I THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT.
OH, AND I DO WANT TO REQUEST, UH, HE KIND OF TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH, UH, TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS BECAUSE OF THIS.
AND, UM, SO TIME IS 6 24 AND THE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE WAS MAILED TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN TUNA OF WHAT RADIUS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION DID HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, NO OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED REQUEST WAS RECEIVED.
UH, IT IS A 6 61 BY 110 RESIDENTIAL LOT.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE IT FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO, TO COMMERCIAL GENERAL RETAIL BUSINESS.
IF YOU LOOK ON THE MAP HERE, UH, THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
THIS IS COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN YOUR PACKET.
YOU DO HAVE A ZONING MAP AS WELL.
THAT SHOWS YOU THAT THE VARIOUS ZONES FACT, THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE.
[00:55:03]
OKAY.AND, UH, IT'S, UH, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.
I HAVE ONE QUESTION BERNARD, WHEN YOU DO THE 200 FOOT RADIUS, AS IT GO FROM EACH BOW, EACH BOUNDARY OF THE, OF THE SITE, ORCAS FROM THE CENTER.
SEE, CAUSE THE OTHER, THE OTHER 200 FOOT RADIUS WAS A LITTLE WEIRD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK OF A RADIUS OF A CIRCLE, RIGHT? IS IT FROM EACH IT'S IT'S BASED ON BOUNDARY? SEE THIS BOUNDARY, RIGHT, RIGHT HERE.
THAT'S WHY THE OTHER ONE WAS A LITTLE WONKY BECAUSE IT WAS AN ODD SHAPE.
IT IS BASED ON THE SHAPE OF THE LOT, THIS ONE BEING YOUR TYPICAL THAT'S A CITY ORDINANCE OR IS THAT STATE STATUTE? STATUES DAY STATUE.
DO WE STILL HAVE ANY, IT'S STILL OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ONE.
ANY PROPOSED, UH, THE USE OF LAND IF THEY WANT TO MOVE TO COMMERCIAL, BUT IS THERE A PROPOSITION OF WHAT THEY WANT TO USE IT FOR? UH, RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE LOT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LIMITED TO WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T DO THERE.
UH, THEY'RE LOOKING AT OFFICE AND AGAIN, UH, SHOULD, ONCE WE GATHER INFORMATION, ONCE WE COME BACK TO YOU, UH, IF WE DO COME BACK TO YOU FOR A REQUEST OF REZONE, THEN OF COURSE THAT'LL BE DISCUSSED.
THEN TIME IS 6 27 AND WE'RE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU, MAYOR CITY COMMISSION BERNALDA DEGAS PLANNING MANAGER, PLANNING DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
AGAIN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.
A PUBLIC HEARING WAS PUBLISHED IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER IN SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2021.
AND IN PUBLIC NOTICE WAS MAILED TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN A 200 FOOT RADIUS.
THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION DID HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, NO OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSAL REQUEST WAS RECEIVED.
ANNEXATION IS A PROCESS OF ADDING ADDITIONAL TERRITORY TO THE EXISTING CITY.
A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OCCURS WHEN A PROPERTY OWNER INITIATED ANNEXATION PROCEDURE BY ASKING THE CITY TO REACH ALL THE BOUNDARIES TO INCLUDE THE LAND PROPERTY.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF A PORTION OF LAND WITHIN A FIVE ACRE TRACK OF LAND, WHICH IS CONTINUOUS TO THE CURRENT CITY LIMIT.
THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVED BY THE CITY WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITIES.
BASICALLY WHEN THIS WAS ANNEX DOWN ON, UH, SAM HOUSTON BOULEVARD, HALF OF APPROXIMATELY HERE, HALF OF THE PROPERTY IS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE ENTIRE TRACK FIVE ACRE TRACK THAT SHE OWNS TO BE ANNEX.
SO BASICALLY THIS PORTION RIGHT HERE IS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
THIS PORTION IS NOT IN THE CITY LIMITS AND SHE'S REQUESTING FOR THAT TO BE INCLUDED.
AGAIN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
THE TIME IS SIX 30 AND IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.
[01:00:05]
ANY QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS, PUBLIC, NONE.WHAT IS, WHAT IS IT, THE EXISTING BUILDING THERE? IT'S THE HOME HEALTH GROUP SPENDER.
YOU UTILIZE THIS HOME HEALTH FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
SO IT WAS JUST ZONED SINGLE FAMILY, BUT IT'S BEEN UTILIZED PROBABLY AS HOME HEALTH FACILITY AND THEN THEY BUILT A SECOND BUILDING.
UH, THE CONSTRUCTION INDICATES AT DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS, UH, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DECADES, BUT THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP.
UH, WE DID NOT REQUIRE THE ANNEXATION OF THE REST OF THE LAND.
ONLY THAT THE AREA WOULD BE PLAID IT SINCE IT EXCEEDED.
UM, IT WAS, IT WAS LESS THAN WHAT THE STATE, UH, NOT ONLY STATE LAW, BUT CITY ORDINANCE, UH, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH TWO DIFFERENT, UH, GOVERNING AUTHORITIES TO CITY IN THE COUNTY.
IT WAS EASIER FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER, UH, BASED ON ADVICE THAT SHE GOT, MAYBE THE SURVEYORS TO JUST ANNEXED INTO THE CITY AND TAKE CARE OF THIS AT ONE TIME, THEY CAN ALWAYS SUBDIVIDE IT, SOME FEATURED DATE, BUT, UH, THE ORIGINAL PROPERTY LINES WENT RIGHT DOWN, UH, HORIZONTALLY, UM, IN A, UH, EAST WEST DIRECTION THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE BUILDINGS.
SO, UM, HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM TITLE, AS YOU SAID, SOME FUTURE DATE.
THE TIME IS 6 32 AND WE'RE CLOSED PROPUBLICA HEARING AND,

Applicant: Citadel Development, LLC.]
UH, I DUNNO, 15 CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLOT.SYNTEL SENT A DEAL SUBDIVISION BURNER, LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF 16.03, FOUR ACRES OF LAND, MORE OR LESS COMPROMISE OF 7.6 44 ACRES OF LAND OF LOT SEVEN AND A 8.39 ACRES OF LOT EIGHT LAST WEEK PARKED A PLACE IN CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS.
ACCORDING TO A MAP, THERE ARE RECORDING AND VOLUME FOR, UH, PAGE 12 MAPI, UH, RECORDS OF THE CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS APPLICANT, UH, SENATOR DALE, UH,
AGAIN, THIS IS A PRELIMINARY PLAT OF CITADEL SUBDIVISION.
THE PROPOSED 69 LOT SUBDIVISION WILL BE SERVICED BY AN EIGHT INCH SANITARY SEWER LINE AND AN EIGHT INCH WATER LINE FIRE HYDRANTS WILL BE INSTALLED TO MEET CITY ORDINANCES AND PUBLICIZE SIDEWALKS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE DEVELOPER'S EXPENSE AT THE TIME THE CURB AND GUTTERS INSTALLED THE PLA THE PRELIMINARY PLAT DOES COMPLY WITH ALL THE TYPICAL CITY ORDINANCES STATE STATUTE.
BASICALLY THE PROPERTY IS ON LESBIANS STINGER, THIS BEING THE CITY PARK, UH, THERE WILL BE TWO INSURANCES COMING IN OFF OF STINGER AND THEN TWO ON THESE EXISTING STREETS.
UH, IT DOES BE, UH, CITY CITY REQUIREMENTS THAT DOES RECOMMEND MEN APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.
YOU SAID THINKER STREET RIGHT HERE.
WELL, SOME OF THE OUTLETS OR INLETS WILL CONNECT TO STINGER, BUT I SEE THE TAMA AND PALMETTO STREET, EXCUSE ME.
THERE ARE DEAD ENDS OFF A STINGER THAT, THAT BACKUP TO THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL CONNECT.
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT ON ONE OF THE, UH, I DID SEE IT IN THE RESTORATION.
WE MAKE SURE BECAUSE A NUMBER OF HOMES THAT IT HAD AT LEAST TWO TO THREE, UH, WE WERE HOPING FOR THREE, UH, TH THOSE TWO THAT HEAD OUT TOWARDS THINKER SOUTHBOUND AND ONE TOWARD STOOKEY, BUT THEY REALLY WANTED TO, TO STICKY.
SO, AND QUITE HONESTLY, WITH THIS MANY HOMES, IT'S MORE OUTLETS.
OUR CONCERN WAS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD NO DEAD ENDS, THAT WE COULD HAVE, UM, THE EXTENSION OF, OF THE WATER AND SEWER LINES CONNECTING OR FROM THAT STINGER SIDE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND THAT WE CAPTURE ALL OF THE STORMWATER THAT'S MITIGATED THROUGH THE DETENTION PONDS, AND THAT WE'RE NOT HOOKING ANY OF OUR WATER OR SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE ONTO LAST B LAST B UH, THAT SEWER LINE.
IT'S GOT A, I SEE ON LAST V IS A LINE OF LOTS, UH, FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER.
UM, I GUESS THOSE ARE GONNA BE THE HOME FRONT LOTS ARE ON AS WELL.
AND THE WATER IS BEING CAPTURED AT THE CURB AND GUTTER TAKEN THROUGH A STORM SYSTEM, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO THE CHANNEL ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT, THE, THE JOURNEYS CHANNEL IT'S ACTUALLY BEING TAKEN TOWARDS STOKEY, IT'S A LARGER HOLES OF LARGER CAPACITY CONVEYANCE SYSTEM.
SO, UH, WE HAVE WORKED VERY CLOSELY AND I KNOW THE ENGINEERS HERE.
I SAW HIM WALK IN THAT VERY CLOSELY, HOW WE WERE GOING TO MITIGATE THESE STRONG WATERS AND, UH, HAVE
[01:05:01]
THIS CONNECTIVITY WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.THERE'S GOING TO BE SIDEWALKS ON LAST MAN STOOKEY BUT ABSOLUTELY.
SO WE THEN NOT PRESENT THE FINAL PLAT.
I THINK I HAD ONE OR TWO QUESTIONS THAT I STILL WANTED TO, SO THE PRELIMINARY PLIES BEING PRESENTED ARE STILL FINE, JUST FINE TUNING, BUT THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST SITE LAYOUT, UH, THAT WE CAN WORK WITH.
I KNOW THAT THE MAYOR STOPPED IN A COUPLE OF TIMES.
HE'S HE'S BEEN ON LAST, BUT HE SAW THE DEPTH OF THE SEWER LINES THAT WERE THERE, THE ISSUES WHEN WE HAVE, UH, BACKUP SEWAGE LINES INTO MADRID AND THOSE CALLED THE SEC STREETS THAT COME OFF OF THE LAST PIECE.
SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T CREATE A MORE NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THOSE EXISTING UNTIL WE, UNTIL WE TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS.
DO YOU THINK, UM, CARS COMING IN AND OFF THE LAST FEW WOULD CAUSE AN ISSUE OR ARE FROM THE DRIVEWAY ONTO THE MAIN ROAD? SO A LOT OF TRAFFIC THROUGH THERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOING TO BE, UH, YES, THERE IS RIGHT.
THERE IS THE SCHOOL CERTAIN TIMES A DAY.
SO I THINK THAT, UH, DURING THE, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN TIMES OF THE SCHOOL, UH, MOST FOLKS ARE GONE.
SO PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON LAST WEEK BACKING NOW YOU'VE GOT THESE STREETS THAT COME IN, SO YOU'RE AT INTERSECTIONS, RIGHT? SO THOSE HOMES PARKED RIGHT IN THOSE AREAS.
AGAIN, IT'S A RESIDENTIAL ROADWAY IS LAST WEEK.
IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO RUSSELL, VERY NARROW, UH, OPEN DITCHES, UH, CURRENT ON BOTH SIDES.
THE, THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT WOULD ACTUALLY BE BOXED IN.
SO, UM, WE WANT, AND WE WANT IT TO REROUTE THOSE WATERS AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAPTURED THEM.
SO, UM, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, COMMISSIONER, BUT SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE COGNIZANT OF RESIDENTS DRIVING SLOWLY.
IT'S A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S, IT'S STUCK BETWEEN OUR STOOKEY PARK AND DR.
I THINK THAT'S THE, SOMEONE PUTS THE ON IT.
SO, SO I MEAN, WE, IT'S A, IT'S A LARGER LOTS, BUT IT'S A HEAVY POPULATED AREA.
AND, UM, WE WARNED THEM ALSO, UH, WHEN THE BASEBALL LEAGUE STARTS UP AGAIN, WE HAVE 800 KIDS, THEY WILL BE EVERYWHERE, RIGHT? SO WE WANT THOSE SIDEWALKS.
UH, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT CROSSWALKS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
HOW ARE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE BEING LOOKED AT.
WE HAD SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THIS PLAT.
WHAT ARE THE LOT SIZES, THE LOT SIZES.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE? AND IF NOT, THE ENGINEER COULD PROBABLY ANSWER THAT MR. TRAVIS, ARE YOU HERE IF YOU'LL STEP FORWARD? AND, UH, YOU KNOW, DO YOU RECALL THE LOT SIZES? THIS IS MR. TRAVIS, THE ENGINEER ON THE PROJECT FOR THE DEVELOPER OR 50 BY 1 25 TO SEE NAME.
MY NAME IS
AND THE LOT SIZES THAT WE ARE PLANNING TO DO, IT'S A 50 BY 1 25.
AND AT SOME AREAS ALSO 60 BY 50 OR FIVE BY 1 25.
ANY INFO FROM THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT, AS FAR AS USING THAT CANAL, OR WE ARE NOT USING THE DENIAL WHERE RAINING TOWARDS, UH, STOOKEY ROAD.
WE HAVE, WE CREATED SOME DETENTION AREAS IN THE, UH, I THINK IT'S TO THE, TO THE WEST OF THE, OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
WHAT TYPE OF YEAR FLOOD WEATHER, DETENTION AREAS TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE? UM, I BELIEVE IT'S 25 YEARS.
THAT'S THE MINIMUM STANDARD RIGHT IN THE CITY.
WHAT ARE THE SIZES OF THE STREETS? UH, 33 33.
THESE ARE 60 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAYS MAYOR.
SO THAT'S JUST HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING THAT WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL LARGE FLOOD EVENTS WITH THE 25 YEAR.
THE SUBDIVISION WOULD HAVE BEEN FLOODED FOUR TIMES OVER, WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS.
I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE, WITH THE MOST RECENT FLOOD EVENTS.
UM, I WANT IT WAS LAST WEEK OR TWO AGO.
SO IS THERE ANY OPTION TO HOLD THEM TO A HIGHER STANDARD AS FAR AS THE MITIGATION PLAN OR DETECTION? NO.
I THINK THE CONVERSATION HAS BEEN EVEN WITH OUR OWN ENGINEERS, THAT THE TWENTY-FIVE YEAR STORM IS A, IT'S FAIRLY COMMON THROUGHOUT THE REGION.
UH TEN-YEAR IS IN 25 YEARS WITH CAMERON COUNTY HAS, AND WE'VE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS.
UM, YOU CAN, YOU CAN ALWAYS, CERTAINLY REQUIRE MORE AND WE CAN HAVE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM MY ENGINEERS AND YOU'RE GOING TO CERTAINLY GET DEVELOPERS
[01:10:01]
AND BUILDERS THAT ARE HERE.IT'S COSTING ME, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE THE ONES THAT GETS THE CALLS WHEN IT FLOODS.
UM, I GREW UP IN HOUSTON HARRIS COUNTY, YOU KNOW, NOT MORE THAN 70 MILES FROM GALVESTON BAY.
WE'RE ABOUT 30 MILES, IT'S THE BIRD FLIES, RIGHT? SO, UH, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
WHAT STANDARDS DO YOU WANT? DO YOU WANT INDUSTRY STANDARDS? AND AGAIN, A, UM, SINCE SIX INCHES OF RAIN IN A THREE AND A HALF HOUR PERIOD IS NOT NORMAL.
SO IF YOU GET, YOU CAN FLOOD ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME.
UH, SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU CANNOT PREPARE FOR EVERY STORM AND NOT FOUR TIMES, RIGHT? SO, WELL, IT HAPPENS IN A NORMAL IT'S HAPPENED FOUR TIMES TO ONE OR TWO HOMES.
I MEAN, WHEN YOU HAVE ABOUT 7,800 WATER ACCOUNTS, THAT MEANS WE HAVE ABOUT 8,000 OTHER RESIDENTS OR CUSTOMERS.
HOW MANY OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY BEING AFFECTED AND BASED ON WHAT STORM.
SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES, YOU GOT TO DO THAT, BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT STORM OR EVENT THAT WE COULD POUR IN ONE PART OF TOWN IN AND OUT ANOTHER, IT CAN POUR ONE PART OF THE COUNTY.
I MEAN, WE SEE RAIN, EVEN IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY, YOU GO TO 5 0 9 AND IT'S NOT.
I COME INTO SAM HOUSTON AND IT'S POURING DOWN.
I MEAN, AND THIS IS NOT MORE THAN A TWO MILE DIFFERENCE.
WHAT'S THE SIDE EYES OF THE DRAINAGE, THE DRAIN, THE COVENANTS, I GUESS, RIGHT? THAT ARE ON STOOKEY CURRENTLY.
WHO KNOWS? BERNARD? NO, NO, I DON'T.
AND THOSE WILL COME INTO CONSTRUCTION AS HE SEEN IT.
WHEN HE SUBMITS THE FINAL PLANS, THE FINAL PLAT REQUIRES CONSTRUCTION PLANS.
THERE ARE NO CONSTRUCTION PLANS.
YOU TALKING ABOUT, WHAT'S ALREADY ON STOOKEY DOOKY AND BASIC READING OF THAT.
THAT'S FLOODED THE RAINS TWO MINUTES AND FLOODS.
SO I'M ASKING YOU, WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE CAPACITY OF STOOKEY RIGHT CURRENTLY WITHOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT.
AND MR. CHAVEZ WILL HAVE TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY DONE SOME STUDIES IN SOME PARTS OF TOWN.
I MEAN, IF YOUR SIZE, IF YOUR LINES ARE UNDERSIZED, YOUR STORM WATER CONDENSES, IT'S UNDER SIZE.
MOST OF IT, WHEN IT LEAVES A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION, IT'S EITHER GOING TO BUSINESS ON THE SEVEN, SAM HOUSTON, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS AREA, OR IT'S GOING EAST TO FIVE, 10 STINGER USED TO BE A COUNT EIGHT STATE ROADWAY.
SO THE STATE ROADWAY SYSTEM HAS BEEN UNDERSIZED FOR DECADES.
SO TO UPSIZE A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND NOT ADDRESS THE STATE.
SO WHAT ARE YOU, WHAT ARE WE REQUIRING THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE IN YEARS PAST? YOU'RE NOW REQUIRING DETENTION, PONDS, RETENTION, PONDS, STORMWATER MITIGATION IN CERTAIN AREAS SO THAT WHEN IT LEAVES PRIVATE PROPERTY, IT GOES INTO A DETENTION FACILITY.
IT'S MITIGATED THERE BEFORE IT HITS THE OTHER DRAINAGE CHANNELS.
THE OTHER SYSTEMS, WHETHER THEY'RE CITIES, THAT DRAINAGE CHANNELS THAT THE DRAYTON'S DISTRICT HAS OR THE STATE SYSTEM.
SO I BELIEVE THAT THE DEVELOPERS AND THEIR ENGINEERS DO THE BEST THEY CAN TO MITIGATE ONSITE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT.
IF YOU WANT A 10 YEAR, WHICH IS WHAT OUR ORDINANCE IS.
IF YOU WANT A 25 YEAR, IT'S WHERE WE'RE WORKING TO, UH, THE RECOMMENDATION ON AN ORDINANCE THAT IT COULD BE UP A HUNDRED YEAR STORM.
IF YOU RECALL WHAT HAPPENED THREE WEEKS AGO.
AND I READ AN ARTICLE OUT OF HARLINGTON, OUT OF, UH, HARLAND, JIM PLANNING, ZONING, UH, COMMISSIONER, I THINK HE'S RUNNING FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER THAT SAID THAT IT WAS A 500 YEAR STORM EVENT.
AND WE'RE KIND OF THINKING, OKAY, WHEN THAT'S NOT WHAT THEIR ENGINEERS IN HOUSE ARE SAYING AT HARLINGTON.
SO W WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DESIGN FOR? AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE NEED TO KNOW, BUT THEY'VE SUBMITTED A PRELIMINARY PLAT.
WE'VE NOT SEEN THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS, THE CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ON STOOKEY WHEREVER IT GOES, WHETHER IT GOES TO BUSINESS ON DAY SEVEN OR STINGER, IT IS THE SIZE THAT IT IS, AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONNECT TO IT AND MITIGATE THAT STORMWATER WITHIN THEIR DETENTION PONDS.
YOU ASKED IF THE DRAINAGE, SO THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT STILL HAS CERTAIN ABOUT GOING IN AND THERE STILL SOME DISPUTE ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT.
SO THESE FOLKS STILL HAVE TO MITIGATE ON ONSITE WITHIN THEIR DEVELOPMENT.
AND WE'VE HAD THESE DISCUSSIONS.
THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING TO CREATE A POA AND A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, A HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION, BUT WE ARE PRETTY ON THE PLAT.
A WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SOME ENTITY OR THE HOMEOWNERS IN THAT SUBDIVISION, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES THAT BENEFIT FROM THAT SORT OF DANA DAY.
THEY STILL HAVE TO MAKE, MAINTAIN STATE STATUES AND LOCAL.
AND THAT'S HOW YOU CONTROL THE PLAT BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT.
THEY DO HAVE TO MAINTAIN THOSE STANDARDS, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS INCREASE THOSE STANDARDS SO THAT WE HAVE BETTER STANDARDS.
AND THOSE STANDARDS WERE, WERE, WHEN WERE THEY CHANGED? WHAT THEY WERE HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO? YEAH.
THOSE TENDERS HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME, BUT CONTINUE FOLLOWING THEM.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, LET ME, UH, THE DEVELOPER HAS SUBMITTED
[01:15:01]
PLANS THAT MEETS TODAY'S STANDARDS.YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE STANDARDS TODAY T CURSE AND FAIRNESS TO HIM.
HE'S FOLLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT CODES, OUR ORDINANCES, IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT, IT WOULD BE FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S NEW THAT IS NEW, THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO CUE.
THERE IS YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT, UH, THESE LATEST FLOODINGS, UH, ARE, I WANT TO SAY NOT NECESSARILY CREATED BY US, UH, IN THE CITY, OUR RESIDENTS OR US, A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH, UH, YOUR, WHERE, DEPENDING ON THE DRAINAGE DISTRICTS WERE DEPENDING ON THE IRRIGATION DISTRICTS TO DO THEIR PART AND HELPING TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM.
UM, BUT I, I THINK, UH, MAINTENANCE GOES ALONG WAY WITH ANYTHING WE DO.
UH, AND OF COURSE WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE ON SOMETHING, SOME OTHER TYPE OF BURDEN OR RESPONSIBILITY, UH, WHERE THE DEVELOPER, UH, SHOULD, SHOULD BE HELD, UH, UH, RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MITIGATE THE SITUATION BEFORE WE CREATE ONE.
SO I, AND I THINK YOU'LL TOUCH UP ON THAT TOO, BECAUSE, UH, UH, SINCE WE HAD THE FIRST FOOT BACK IN JULY OF LEAVE, UM, WELL I WAS ALL OVER TOWN AND I CAN TELL YOU, IT WASN'T SO MUCH THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTED OR THAT WE CREATED IT, IS IT, I, I FEEL, I FELT THE NEED TO, UH, COORDINATE AN EFFORT WITH THE, UH, UH, I WANT TO SAY THE OUTER LINE AREA OF THE CITY THAT THAT SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES ALL DURING THE, UH, CANALS AND JUST, THEY NEED TO MAINTAIN IN ORDER FOR US TO NOT HAVE A REOCCURANCE OF A FLAT.
NOW YOU WANT TO TALK FLOW, TALK FLOODS, UH, 1991.
AND JUST REMEMBER THAT ONE, WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE THAT FLOOD AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND HERE IT DOES SAY ON THE PLAT ITEM, 10 ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING OR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT IS SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF A DRAINAGE DISTRICT REPORT, WHICH IS WHY I WAS ASKING, WHAT DOES THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT SAY ABOUT THIS PLOT? HAVE THEY ACKNOWLEDGED IT? HAS IT BEEN BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION? BECAUSE IT DOES SAY THAT THERE A DRAINAGE REPORT BY THAT DRAINAGE DISTRICT, NUMBER THREE, IS THAT REQUIRED ASSESSMENTS IT'S ON THE PLAT? NO, WHAT WE DO IS WE PUT IT, SO IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING, THEY'VE GOT TO GIVE THAT INFORMATION.
IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S, IT'S BORDER LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT PROTECTS THE CITY'S INTEREST.
IT SAYS, DEVELOPER, YOU GOT TO GO AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE MEETING THIS REQUIREMENT.
AND THAT ALSO FOLLOWS THE, UH, THE TEXAS WATER CODE, WHICH MEANS WE DON'T HAVE TO GO ASK THE DEVELOPERS, REPRESENTATIVES NEED TO GO AS, SO PART OF THAT WILL BE, AS YOU HAVE IT, YOU REQUIRE.
AND SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY, IF YOU'RE GOING DIRECTLY INTO THEIR CHANNELS.
THE, UM, THE OTHER THING IS, AND COMMISSIONING, I ASK IF IT'S REQUIRED, UM, IS BECAUSE WE NEED, SOMEHOW THERE MUST BE COORDINATION, WHETHER IT'S THE DEVELOPER WITH THE, UH, DRAINAGE DISTRICT OR, UM, OR THE CITY COORDINATING SOMETHING WHERE WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THEIR DEVELOPMENT, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE AREA, THE CITY.
UH, THIS IS JUST ONE DEVELOPER, BUT THE PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN.
AND, UH, IF WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF THE SITUATION BEFORE IT OCCURS, WHICH IS, UH, IF THEY'RE REQUIRED TO GO BEFORE THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT, WELL, THAT'S GOOD, BUT WE, WE NEED, UH, SOME OTHER TYPE OF COORDINATION.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE IT JUST AS THAT, AT THAT.
LET ME, LET ME JUST GIVE YOU ONE SCENARIO SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
YOU JUST LOOKED AT A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR SABRINA LARA AT 1835, SOUTH SAM HOUSTON.
THERE IS NO DRAINAGE DISTRICT APPROVAL OF THAT SITE, BUT THERE IS FIVE ACRES OR GREATER.
WHAT DOES THE WATER FLOW? IT FLOWS TO SAM HOUSTON.
WHAT DOES THAT WATER EVENTUALLY GOES? DOES THE STATE KEEP IT SOMEWHERE? AND THAT'S A QUESTION I DON'T EXPECT AN ANSWER.
IT EVENTUALLY ENDS UP IN THE CHANNEL.
SO WHY WOULD THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT NOT HAVE APPROVAL OR ANY OVERSIGHT OF THAT SITE? AND IT STILL ENDS UP IN THE SAME CHANNEL.
THE ONE THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM FOR LIBERTY STATES, UPS DOWNSTREAM.
YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN? SOME OF THESE COMPLEXITIES, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY, IT'S NOT ALWAYS, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, VERY PLAINLY STATED.
SO THEREFORE, UH, IF YOU'RE NOT CONNECTING DIRECTLY, UH, IT, IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN, IT MEANS YOU GOT TO, IF THEY DON'T CONNECT TO THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL COMMISSIONER, MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, THAT MEANS YOU ARE MITIGATING THE WATERS AND IT'S FLOWING OUT AS IF IT WAS VIRGIN LAND, UNDEVELOPED LAND.
THAT'S THE SHEEP FLOAT MAY REMEMBER.
WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION A COUPLE OF DAYS ABOUT SHEEP FLOAT AND HOW THE VELOCITY OF WATER.
[01:20:01]
ENGINEER.IT'S JUST BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THESE CONCEPTS.
SO WE DO PUT THAT BURDEN ON THEM.
COMMISSIONING, TRUST ME, WE SEND THEM.
IF THEY DON'T GET A RESPONSE, THEY KEEP MOVING BECAUSE THESE THINGS ARE FILED.
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEIR RESPONSE, WE JUST MAKE SURE THAT IT MEETS THOSE STANDARDS.
THE PLATTE NOTES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS IF YOU APPROVE IT.
AND MR. CHAPA SAID 25 YEARS, CAUSE WE DROVE IN HIS HEAD.
THAT'S THE MINIMUM COUNTY STANDARD FOR REGARDLESS OF WHAT GATE WE'RE GOING TO PUT THEM ON YOUR PLAT NOTES.
AND WE'RE GOING TO HOLD YOU TO THOSE STANDARDS WHERE YOU SUBMIT CONSTRUCTION PLANTS, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SURPRISES UP FRONT.
OKAY? SO ANYBODY THAT COMES IN, WE'RE HAVING THOSE, THAT GALLUP WHERE WE'RE CHANGING IT.
AND IF NOT, YOU DON'T APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.
YOU DON'T PUT THE FINAL PLAT PRELIMINARY AND FINAL CON.
BUT IF NOT, THESE ARE THE DISCUSSIONS WE'RE HAVING TODAY.
AND THIS IS WHAT THIS ENGINEER'S HEARING, BECAUSE YOU'LL REPORT BACK TO THE OWNERS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT OR HOLDING THEM TO THOSE 25 YEAR PLUS STANDARDS.
THAT IS WHAT IN OUR CONSULTATION WITH OUR OWN CONSULTING ENGINEERS.
AND WE'VE HAD TWO DIFFERENT CONSULTING USERS THAT THEY CURRENTLY WORK WITH US OUT AT THREE THAT SAYS, YEAH, TWENTY-FIVE A YEAR IS THE STANDARD AROUND HERE.
NOW YOU GO FOR THE NORTH COASTAL COMMUNITIES.
IT'S NOT 25 YEARS, IT'S GREATER, BUT YOU KNOW, UH, THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE POLICY POLICY DECISIONS THAT YOU AS A GOVERNING BODY WILL LEAD TO DIRECT US ON BOARD, JUST FOLLOWING WITH THOSE INDUSTRY STANDARDS THAT EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES, EVEN OUTSIDE OF SAN BENITO, THEY'D HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTING FOR SOME TIME.
I MEAN, IT WOULD BE, IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO COMPARE US TO A MACALLAN AND STUFF BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY HIGHER ELEVATION.
BUT WE DO, WE TRY TO PAY ATTENTION TO THESE THINGS AND HOW DO WE CORRECT IT TO DO WE KNOW WHAT STANDARD THEY HAVE IN HIDALGO COUNTY? YOU KNOW, I ACTUALLY SAW THEY, THEIRS IS PRETTY COMPLEX.
YOU KNOW, OURS IS ABOUT A PARAGRAPH, UH, THAT EVEN CAMERON COUNTIES AND I COPIED IT ONE SATURDAY MORNING AND I SENT IT TO CITY ATTORNEY SALSA.
I MEAN, IT HAD ALL THESE COEFFICIENTS, THESE CALCULATIONS, IT WAS PRETTY COMPLEX.
IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT THE DATE, WHAT THEY DESIGN AND WHERE IT'S GOING.
SO IT'S A HIGHER THAN 25 AS MY COURSE.
BUT IT'S, IT'S ALSO GOT SOME OTHER FACTORS.
AND THEY'RE NOT COASTAL NOW WILL BE CONSIDERED COASTAL.
WE ARE, OUR STANDARDS ARE WIND STORM BECAUSE WE'RE A COASTAL COMMUNITY.
SO THEREFORE OUR CONSTRUCTION IS DIFFERENT.
I MEAN, WE'VE GOT ISSUES, BUT YOU CAN GO RIGHT ACROSS INTO HILDAGO ON THE EASTERN SIDE AND THEY FLOOD MORE OFTEN THAN YOU DO BECAUSE OF THE, UH, UH, THE, THE COLORADO ROYAL.
SO JUST DEPENDS WHERE YOU'RE AT.
YOU WERE OTHER OPTIONS LOOKED AT TO INCREASE THE STANDARD AND THIS DEVELOPMENT, WELL, THE ENGINEER TOUGHER STANDARDS WAS THE ENGINEER, OR YOU WERE, WERE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT 10 25? WHAT WERE YOU GUYS DOING? WE REALLY, UH, WE'RE WORKING WITH, WITH CITY STAFF BECAUSE WE GO BY THE, BY THE, UH, BY THE CITY STANDARDS AND THAT'S, THEY CHECK ON US ON, ON THOSE STANDARDS AND WE FOLLOW THE STANDARDS SO WE CAN, UH, DO THE WORK FOR OUR CLIENTS.
UH, AND I MEAN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT AS, AS THE CITY MANAGER SAID, I MEAN, IT CANNOT BE CHANGED LIKE TODAY IN A PROJECT THAT IT'S ALMOST DONE ALREADY.
UH, IF YOU, IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT, BECAUSE YOU, YOU HAVE TO, TO, I GUESS, DO A STUDY AND THEN THE CHANGES AFTERWARD, THE SIDEWALKS.
ARE THEY GOING TO BE FIVE OR FOUR FEET? WE'VE REQUIRED ALL RESIDENTIAL SIDEWALK SPEED, FOUR FEET WIDE, FOUR FEET FROM BACK CURB.
SO THESE WILL BE LIKE THAT THEN.
SEE DIFFERENT THINGS ALL THE TIME.
WHEN I DRIVE INTO SUBDIVISIONS.
SO FOUR FEET, I WAS JUST CONCERNED BECAUSE IT IS A LAST PIECE HEAVILY USED, RIGHT.
UM, BACK AND FORTH BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB IN THE SCHOOLS.
SO WE THOUGHT ABOUT, I GUESS THAT'S THE BEST OPTION, RIGHT? YEAH.
THE ORDINANCE SAYS YOU CAN HAVE FOUR FEET OR FIVE FEET, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY THAT YOU GET TO DECIDE THE CITIES.
DID HE GET TO DECIDE? SO I HELPED TO STEP THE SIDE, RESIDENTIAL FOUR FEET WIDE, FOUR FEET FROM BACK OF CURB.
[01:25:02]
IT'S UP TO YOU THEN.MOTION BY COMMISSIONER OF YOUR FRANCO.
SECOND, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER.
ANY OPPOSED MOTION PASSES DICTION.

THERE ARE RECORDING AND VOLUME SIX PAGE 72 MAP REPORTS OF CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS APPLICANT, MR.
THANK YOU, MAYOR CITY COMMISSION.
WE ARE GOING PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLATFORM.
LIMA'S A STATE SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS A ONE LOT COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION.
THIS WAS TWO LOTS THAT FACED WOODFORD.
UH, THE DEVELOPMENT IS ZONED COMMERCIAL.
SO DEVELOPER WANTS, WANTED TO USE THE MAXIMUM USE OF THE PROPERTY.
SO INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO LOTS, HE'S DEVELOPING INTO ONE LOT.
SO I'LL GIVE THEM, UH, THE SIDE SETBACKS AND SO FORTH.
THAT'S REQUIRED FOR HIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.
AGAIN, I PROPOSE ONE LOT COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION PROPERTY HAS EXISTING UTILITIES, CONSISTENT OF A SIX INCH WATER LINE AND A SIX INCH SANITARY SEWER LINE AND EXISTING 15 FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT LOCATED ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY LINE.
THERE IS AN EXISTING FIRE HYDRANT LOCATED WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 370 FEET FROM THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH MEETS CITY ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.
THE PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT DO COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE CITY ORDINANCES, STATE STATUTE.
UH, AGAIN, THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE FIRE STATION AND OUR, UH, PARK, UH, THERE, THE DEVELOPER IS IN, UH, THE AUDIENCE.
SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I DO BELIEVE THEY'RE LOOKING AT DOING AN EATERY, UH, AND LUNCHES AND SILVER, SO, AND THEY WILL HAVE A DRIVE THROUGH SO THAT, THAT SHOULD, UH, UH, COMPLIMENT THE PARK BEING AT THAT LOCATION.
NOW, AS FAR AS THE ENTRANCES TO THE PROPERTY, THEY WILL HAVE AN ENTRANCE OFF OF WOODFORD.
UH, NOW ONCE THEY DO THE CONSTRUCTION SUBMIT THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS, WE'LL, WE WILL LOOK AT THAT, BUT WOODFORD IS A GOOD ENTRANCE COMING IN.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY'VE ALREADY APPLIED WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS
[01:30:01]
BECAUSE SAM HOUSTON IS GOVERNED BY TXDOT AND THEY, THEY ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE ONE EXIT ONLY OFF OF SAM HOUSTON.AGAIN, THEY DO MEET OUR REQUIREMENTS.
AS STAFF IS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
BERNARD IS A SIX INCH WATER LINE AND SANITARY LINE, THE STANDARD FOR COMMERCIAL.
WELL, IT'S AN EXISTING SUBDIVISION.
LOOKING UP TO THE RESIDENCE, TO THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS RIGHT UP TO SAM HOUSTON, WHICH WAS, IT WAS EXISTING WHEN IT WAS WHEN THE SUBDIVIDED THE PROPERTY.
AGAIN, THERE WAS TWO LOTS OF THAT TIME STAFFERS TO THE RESIDENTIAL, AS FAR AS, UH, THE, THE PROPERTY AND ITS USE A SIX INCH WATER LINE IS THE MINIMUM SIZED LINE THAT YOU CAN PUT A FIRE HYDRANT.
SO I WOULD IMAGINE THEY USE THAT STANDARD FOR A LONG TIME.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? GOOD THING.
A MOTION TO APPROVE MOTION BY THE COMMISSIONER OF YOUR ELEMENT IS ALWAYS GOOD.
I AGREE WITH THAT, BUT IS WOODFORD WIDE ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN IT AS THE WATER LINE? WHY IS GOOD? IT COULD SET UP A BRAND NEW BUILDING AND THE SEWER LINE CAN'T WITH THEM.
SO NOT TOO FAR FROM THERE, YOU HAVE A LITTLE BUSINESS STORES IN LITTLE BUSINESS STORES, RIGHT? THE SAME, IF IT IS A RESTAURANT THAT THEY'D HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE HEALTH, UH, REQUIREMENTS AS WELL, WHICH CALLS FOR A GREASE TRAP, UH, FOR, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND WE WILL ADDRESS THAT ONCE THE PLANS ARE SUBMITTED AND, UH, COMING TO REVIEW GOOD LUCK TO THEM.
SO, UM, THERE, I MEAN, IT'S WITHIN A REGULATION.
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT IT ISN'T COMPLIANCE.
STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT SECOND.

AND MR. BERNARDO, THESE PERCENTAGES DISHONOR, THANK YOU.
MAYOR CITY COMMISSION, RANCHO MONTAGUE SUBDIVISION IS LOCATED NORTH OF THE CITY CITY LIMITS.
AND WITHIN THE COUNTY, BASICALLY THIS STREET RIGHT HERE AT CORGI ROAD IS, UH, MCCULLOUGH STREET.
UH, IF YOU GET MCCULLOUGH STREET, RIGHT WHEN IN REACHES TO MILE 17, IT CHANGES TO A COUNTY ROAD IN CORE YOU ROAD IS THE NAME OF IT.
THIS IS IT'S THE BASIC A SIX LOTS SUBDIVISION, EXCUSE ME, SIX LOT SUBDIVISION, THE SMALLEST LOT BEING ONE ACRE AND THE OTHER FIVE BEING APPROXIMATELY TWO ACRES OF LAND.
UH, AGAIN, IT IS IN, UH, IN THE CAMERON COUNTY.
UH, I PROPOSED SIX SLOTS SUBDIVISION.
THE PROPERTY LIES OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS OF SAN BENITO, BUT IS LOCATED WITHIN A TWO MILE ETJ.
THE SUBDIVISION WILL BE SERVICED BY EAST RIO HONDA WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION WITH AN EXISTING FOUR INCH WATERLINE LOCATED ON THE NORTH RIGHT-AWAY OF CORNY ROAD.
SANITARY SEWER IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THAT AREA.
SO THEY WILL GO WITH SEPTIC TANKS AND WILL BE INSTALLED AND INSPECTED BY CAMERON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THE PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE ORDINANCES, STATE STATUTES.
AGAIN, UH, IT IS IN THE COUNTY.
IT'S NOT BEING SERVICED BY THE CITY'S, UH, WATER OR SEWER UTILITIES.
IN FACT, THE WATER DOES BELONG TO EAST RIO HONDO WATER SUPPLY, UH, BUT IT ISN'T OUR ETJ AND IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REVIEW FOR COMPLIANCE.
UH, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS HAS ALREADY GONE THROUGH CAMERON COUNTY AND APPROVED, UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
BERNARD, DO WE HAVE ANY WATER LINES OUT THERE? UH, WELL, UH, OR SUBDIVISION RIGHT ON THE FIRST, BASICALLY AGAIN, IT'S IT'S WITHIN THE EAST RIHANNA WATER SUPPLY CCN.
[01:35:01]
SO IT'S THERE, UH, AREA TO SERVICE, BUT IS THERE A POSIT I'M LOOKING AT TAPPING INTO ADDITIONAL, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A DEVELOPMENT COMING IN AN ANNEXATION, RIGHT.AND THAT HAVE TO BE VOLUNTARY, RIGHT.
IS THAT CORRECT? CAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A SUBDIVISION RIGHT AT THE ENTRANCE OF KORNEGAY THAT ONE IS CITY OF SOMEBODY'S PHONE, UM, FOREIGN AGAIN, FOUR INCH WATER LINE.
UH, THESE, THESE THINGS ARE ALL UNDERSIZED, RIGHT.
THAT'S UP TO THERE BY SPEEDS THAT YOU'RE THERE, UH, THE SERVICE PROVIDER, COMMISSIONER GALVAN, IF IN ANY PORTION THAT'S IN THE CITY LIMITS WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY.
FOR EXAMPLE, UM, YOU CAN'T HAVE A FIRE HYDRANT ON A FOUR-INCH IF IT'S WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, WE WOULD ACTUALLY NAIAD.
IF YOU LOOK TO THE WEST OF IT, YOU SEE RESTOCK OF VISTA DRIVE ON, ON THE, ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RASAKA AND WE KNOW THAT AREAS.
SO SOME OF THOSE LINES ARE UNDERSIZED.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE KNOW THAT TO BE A FACT, UH, ALONG SAME HOUSTON, UH, YOU WOULD CALL THEM THAT.
SO WE'VE GOT SOME, SOME DEVELOPMENTS THAT ONSET NORTH SAM HOUSTON, BEFORE YOU TAKE A RIDE ON RASAKA VISTA DRIVE, THERE ARE SOME DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE PROPOSED TO BE IN THERE AND THEY'RE UNDERSIZED THE WATERLINES AND THE SIZE.
THEY'RE LIKE TWO INCH MAYOR, GET YOU EVEN BROUGHT A BLIND 17 TWO INCH IN THE OLD, SOME YEARS AGO, EVEN DECADES AGO, TWO INCHES OF WATER LINES WILL RUN FOR AGRICULTURE OR TO BASICALLY WATERING THEIR CATTLE OR HORSES.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN PEOPLE DECIDED TO START BUILDING A SHED, THEN DECIDED TO BUILD A HOME AND THEN THEY GO, I GOT WATER.
NO YOU DON'T, UNLESS YOU'RE LIVESTOCK, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON THIS SYSTEM.
SO, UH, SO THEN THEY GET UPSET WITH US BECAUSE ACCORDING TO TCQ, NOT EVEN OUR CITY ORDINANCE, YOU CAN'T HAVE A TWO-INCH WATERLINE THAT'S UMAINE.
SO I KNOW WE, I SEE THE FRUSTRATION WHEN SOME OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS COME INTO MY OFFICE, TCEQ REGULATES THAT WE KNOW WHAT SIZE WATERLINE.
SO THEREFORE IF CORNER GETS IN THE CITY AND IT'S GOT A FOUR-INCH, WE'RE GOING TO SAY YOUR DEVELOPMENT WILL GET APPROVED.
AS SOON AS YOU PUT THE MINIMUM EIGHT INCH WATER LINE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE TELLING THE FOLKS IN NORTH, NORTH SAM HOUSTON.
UH, IF THEY WANTED TO HAVE LIVESTOCK CAN GO BACK TO AGRICULTURE, BUT YOU WANT TO NOW PUT NOT ANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
DON'T WATER MITIGATION OR WATER SEWER.
YOU'VE GOT TO MEET THOSE, THOSE REQUIREMENTS STANDARDS.
SO AGAIN, THIS IS NOT IN THE CITY.
SO AGAIN, WE HAVE NO JURISDICTION OVER, UH, WE HAVE REVIEWED WITH AUTHORITY FOR CERTAIN PARTS OF A DEVELOPMENT CODES IN THE ETJ AND IT ENDS.
AND SO CONSIDERATION, UH, ACTION IS, UH, REQUESTED, UM, MERELY BECAUSE THEY'RE WITHIN OUR ETJ.
NO PLANS OF VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.
THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY CITY TAXES.
OH, UH, I WAS GOING TO ASK THE MARK, UH, IS THERE A PROBLEM BECAUSE I KNOW THESE PEOPLE, THEY WENT THROUGH SCHOOL, SO JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T WANT TO COME.
I JUST, LIKE I SAID, I JUST DON'T WANT TO COME BACK AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT, SO.
SO I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DAVON SECOND BY COMMISSIONER.

OUR RECOMMENDATION IS FOR VULCAN MATERIALS WHO SUBMITTED A BID OF $23 AND 50 CENTS PER TOW, WHICH IS A LITTLE HIGHER FOR A PICKUP AT THE BROWNSVILLE AT THE PORT OF BROWNSVILLE IN BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS LOCATION, TO BE ACCEPTED BASED ON LOCATION.
AND OF COURSE STAFF A UTILIZATION RESOURCE.
THE SECOND ONE WOULD BE COAL MIX, VULCAN MATERIALS SUBMITTED BIDS OF $52 AND $53 PER TON OF EACH FOR COLLECTION TO PICK UP AT THEIR DABNEY LOCATION, DABNEY, TEXAS LOCATION, WHICH IS CLOSE TO YOU VALLEY.
SO IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW FAR THAT IS.
SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS FOR FRONT-END MATERIALS SUBMITTED A BID OF $83 PER TON OF COLLECTION PICKUP AT OLMETO TEXAS OR THEIR OTHER OPERATION PLANT IN PROGRESO TEXAS, BE ACCEPTED WITH THAT, WITH THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE LOWEST BIDS, WHICH ARE ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED, ESTABLISHED, REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION FROM THE COMMISSION.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WE DO HAVE EQUIPMENT NECESSARY TO DO THE PICKUP.
THAT WAS, UH, THE T-REX, BUT THEY CALL THE END UP THAT WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED FOR APPROXIMATELY HELPED ME OUT MAYBE FOR AT 35,000.
AND SO WE HAVE THAT OPERATIONAL, WE DIDN'T A FIT TO IT.
SO IT IS WITH OUR, UH, RIG 18 WHEELER, UH, CAB.
BUT AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT LOCATION, WE'RE LOOKING AT RESOURCES.
SO THIS IS JUST AS AN OPTION FOR US.
IF WE WANT TO EXERCISE TO GO PICK UP SOME WORK CLOSER, THOSE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM STAFF, INSTEAD OF GOING ALL THE WAY OUT OF TOWN FOR TWO HOURS, FOUR HOURS, AND THEN RETURN, YOU'RE LOOKING AT TIME FUEL, UH, GOING THROUGH, UH, CONSTRUCTION AREAS, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
AND, UH, ALSO TRY TO UTILIZE STAFF HERE ONSITE SINCE WE ARE KIND OF SMALL AND LIMITED.
WE'D LIKE TO KEEP THEM HERE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
I SEE THAT PRICE OF $2 IS THAT I GUESS, WHAT IS IT A REFERENCE TO LIKE BY THE, BY THE TIME FIVE, BY THE TIME THEY'RE ALL, ALL OF THIS IS BY THE TUFTS.
WHAT WAS THAT BROKEN MATERIALS? WHERE'S THAT LOCATED? THE VULCAN ONE FOR THE COLMEX IS, IS AS DABNEY, TEXAS CLOSE TO, UH, YOU VILE DAY.
SO IT IS THE LOWER PRICE OR THE BEST BID OR THE LOWEST PRICE BID.
BUT WE'RE ASKING FOR RECOMMENDATION IS FOR FRONT DATA, WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT 15, 20 MINUTES ROUND TRIP.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THEY'RE CLOSER.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE HIGHER PRICE TO BE CONSIDERED AS OPPOSED TO THE LOWEST BID.
SO THAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION AGAIN, WITH, WITH THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE JUST MENTIONED, THE TWO, THE LIMESTONE AND THE COAL MIX.
AND OF COURSE WITH THE LOWEST BIDS OR THE OTHER CATEGORIES,
[01:50:01]
LET'S GO BACK TO, UM, VULCAN.SO VULCAN, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE THE LOWEST BIDDER, WHO'S YOU, UH, HIGHLIGHTED THE BLUE? YES.
YOU'RE WANTING TO GO WITH THE HIGHER ONE, WHICH IS ONE THE DATA, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER OR WHERE'S FRONT THAT US HERE AT PORT THAT IS CORRECT.
THERE ARE THE NEXT LOWEST AT 83.
AND SO BASED ON LOCATION AND BASED ON RESOURCE, THAT'S WHY WE WERE ASKING FOR THAT RECOMMENDATION FOR A MINUTE THERE, YOU HAD ME THINKING YOU WERE GOING TO, OH, OIL, WHATEVER.
SO THE MOTION THAT WE APPROVE AS RECOMMENDED THAT IS CORRECT.
WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DISQUALIFY CERTAIN LOW BIDDERS BECAUSE THERE'S A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REASONING JUST EXCEPT OF COURSE IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO GO HERE CLOSER THAN RUNNING UP TO MARK, PLEASE, THE CITY CAN AWARD A CONTRACT FOR WHAT IT DEEMS THE BEST VALUE FOR THE CITY.
SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A FACTOR IN DETERMINING WHAT THE BEST VALUE FOR THE CITY IS.
AND YOU HAVE TO, YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THE 15 MINUTES TO ONE SIDE, COMPARED TO SIX HOURS, YOU COULD GO TO A DAY.
WHERE'S THE LIMESTONE OR FRONT THAT MATERIALS ARE.
AND I'M SORRY, VOLKAN FRONTERA IS ALL KNOWN MEAT THOUGH, RIGHT? OR THE, BY THE PORT, BUT WHERE'S VULCAN THE LIMESTONE.
I KNOW YOU SAID THE COLD MIX WAS INVOLVED IN, WAS THE LIMESTONE INVOLVED.
THEY ALSO, THE LIMESTONE FOR THE LIMESTONE FOR VULCAN MATERIALS IS LOCATED IN THE PORT OF BROWNSVILLE AND BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS.
SO COULD WE, WHICH IS $23 AND 50 CENTS, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN THE LOWEST BID OF $20 AND 68 CENTS.
SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO USE VULCAN MATERIALS AT THE $23 50 CENTS AT THE PORT OF BROWNSVILLE.
CAN WE GO THROUGH, SO FOR THE HOT MIX, I'M CONFUSED.
I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING STRAIGHT VOLK ON.
SO YOU WOULD, LET'S SAY LET'S GO FOR HOT MIX.
YOU WOULD GO WITH, UM, FRONT THAT ARE CORRECT.
THAT'S THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE IT'S THE LOWEST BID.
AND THEN FOR LIMESTONE, THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE VULCAN.
BASED ON LOCATION AND RESOURCE.
AND THEN FOR A COLD MIX, THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE FROM THAT, I'VE BEEN THAT THEY ARE THE CLOSEST IN PROXIMITY, UM, FRONTERA FOR PICKUP ONLY FOR DELIVERY.
WE WOULD STILL GO WITH THE LOWEST, WHICH IS BLACK DOG SERVICES AT THE VERY BOTTOM AT 95 AND 50 CENTS.
SO THAT'S WHERE IT COMES INTO.
WE'RE ONLY ASKING FOR TWO RECOMMENDATION.
WHICH IS FOR LIMESTONE AND COAL MIX.
WHAT DID THESE GRAINS? THERE'S JUST, THEY'RE GREAT.
THE GREAT IS BASICALLY THE ROCK SIZE.
THE SEA IS ABOUT A HALF INCH AND THE D SIZE IS ABOUT THREE EIGHTS, WHICH IS A LITTLE, UM, I CAN'T REMEMBER RIGHT NOW, UH, AT THE OTHER GROUPS DIDN'T PROVIDE ANY GRADES.
I KNOW THERE'S A SPECIFICATION, A CERTAIN GRADE, SO THE HALF INCH IS A LOT LARGER, SLIGHTLY LARGER.
AND SO IT'S JUST WHETHER YOU WANT, WERE YOU TRYING TO OVERLAY OR PUT SOME ROCK DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT? SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A MOTION HERE, UH, AT WHAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING, UH, WHICH I'M LISTENING TO, BUT MR. ROSA IN THE FUTURE, UM, WHEN SOMETHING OCCURS THIS WAY, WHERE IT'S A ONE BIT FROM HERE AND ANOTHER BIT FROM HERE, AND I WANT A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARITY AND THE PRESENTATION AND THE ILLUSTRATION.
SO THAT'LL AVOID A LOT OF CONFUSION AND OF COURSE, SO MANY QUESTIONS.
SO, SO WE'RE GOING TO EMOTION THE WAY, UH, AS A STAFF MOTION IS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF.
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GET THESE BIDS, THEN THERE'S SHADE IT.
SO I'VE GOT A MOTION BY THE COMMISSIONER VIA FRANCO AND AT THE LAST SECOND BY MAYOR PROTEAM OKAY.
ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES, ERIC.
