[5. Public Comments - (Speaker/Remarks limited to three minutes. Not more than three speakers on one topic.)]

AND I DON'T REMEMBER FIVE, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT.

UH, RUTH, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? YES.

MA'AM MR. SANTIAGO PEREZ A BETTER.

I MADE THESE NOTES SOMETIME BACK TODAY.

I READ THEM AGAIN.

IT'S NOTHING, BUT HEY, I DECIDED TO THROW IT AWAY, BUT JUST TELL YOU THE STORY.

I'M TRYING TO BUILD A HOUSE AND I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT DELAYS ALL KINDS OF STUPID DELAYS.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING OR THE INSPECTOR DOING.

I REQUESTED A PATTERN INSPECTION SO THEY COULD, I USED THE PATTERN INSPECTION.

AND I GUESS THERE THEY LOOK AT HOW MANY NAILS ARE IN EACH BOARD ON THE HOUSE.

BUT BEFORE I DID THAT, I SAID TO MYSELF, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND WRAP IT.

AFTER IT WAS BUILT, AFTER IT WAS NAILED, I'M GOING TO WRAP IT.

I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY SINGLE, EVERY SINGLE WORD GETS, UH, GETS NAILED.

AND I HIRED SOME PEOPLE ATE THIS SPOT EVERY, EVERY BOARD AND NAILED EVERY BOY BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO PLAN TO DO A STOCKROOM.

SO I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE BOARDS OR ANYTHING.

RIGHT.

AS SOON AS I REQUESTED THE NAIL INSPECTION, THE INSPECTOR WENT OVER THERE AND HE SAYS, NOPE, YOU NEED TO TAKE OFF ALL THE RAPPING.

I TOLD THE GUY, LISTEN, IF YOU GO NEXT TO THE RAPPER, EACH ONE OF THEM, YOU CAN, YOU CAN, THERE'S, THERE'S A, BY THE REGULATIONS, THERE'S A NAILED EVERYWHERE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE NAIL BECAUSE IT GOES, IT DOESN'T GO THROUGH A RAPPER.

IT JUST GOES TO THE WRAPPER, RIGHT? HE SAYS, NO, I WANT YOU TO TAKE IT OFF.

COST ME A LOT OF MONEY BECAUSE I HAD TO, I HAVE TO HIRE SOMEBODY TO DO IT.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH.

AND ALSO PUT A FENCE, REQUEST THAT A SECOND DAY ON INSPECTION.

AND HE SAYS, NOPE, NO.

WHY NOT? WELL, BECAUSE

[00:05:01]

AND YOU NEED TO PUT IT DOWN THERE.

I REMEMBER I TRENCHED IT AND I PUT DIRT OVER IT.

SO HE WOULDN'T FLY OFF BECAUSE IT DOESN'T IT.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I GOT.

I GOT SOMEBODY WHO JUST SAYS, NOPE, I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT.

I SAID, OKAY, FINE.

I'LL I'LL GO.

I'LL GO GET A TRENCHER.

SO I HAD TO GO GET A TRENCHER.

CAUSE IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SECOND ONE, RIGHT.

AND I HAD TO GO GET A TRENCHER.

AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THAT I GOT A CALL FROM HIM, FROM THE GUYS WHO ARE DOING THE YACHT STUCCO ON THE PILLARS, WHICH REQUIRED NO NAILS.

NO, NO, HE WOULDN'T.

HE STOPPED EVERYBODY FROM WORKING.

I WAS PAYING THIS GUYS.

I HAVE TO PAY THESE GUYS.

YOU STOPPED EVERYBODY FROM WORKING.

AND I ASKED, HEY, CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW ME THE REGULATION? SO I WON'T HAVE TO MESS WITH ALL THIS.

THEY'RE JUST WINGING IT BECAUSE THAT'S THE RESPONSE THAT I GOT.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

AND THERE'S DISCRETIONARY STUFF IN WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE DOING IT JUST TO ACT LIKE AN ASS OR IS THAT WAY, IS THAT THE KIND OF CITY THAT WE HAVE? I W I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THESE DENIALS, ALL THE DID TO SAY, GOING OUT THERE DOOR.

AND NOW I REQUESTED THIRD INSPECTION.

I WANT, WE WANT MONEY.

WE WANT MONEY.

NOW, YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND, I ONLY HAVE TWO MINUTES AND I ASSURE YOU, THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME POSITION THAT I AM.

WELL, I TELL YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WANT TO PUT IT INTO PAPER.

IF ANYBODY WANTS TO READ IT, IT'S ALL ASININE STUFF, YOU KNOW? AND IF ANY OF YOU, EVERYBODY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

RUTH, ANYBODY ELSE WE ASKED MR. BEN CORTEZ, MIRA COMMISSIONERS, UH, BEN COURT, THIS 6 75 SOUTH MACOLA, SAN BENITO.

UH, I WAS HIRED AS A CONSULTANT FOR MS. INES.

HUMAN-NESS, UH, I SPOKE HERE LAST MEETING.

AND AFTER THE MEETING, I RECEIVED SEVERAL CALLS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT MR. UH, GENTLEMAN THAT JUST LEFT, UH, SAME COMPLAINTS, UH, THE ISSUE OF THE PERMIT.

THEN THEY STOPPED THE CONSTRUCTION.

WE MADE A MISTAKE.

YOU GOTTA FIX THIS.

YOU GOT TO FIX THAT AFTER THEY'VE ALREADY RECEIVED, RECEIVE THE, UH, THE PERMIT.

UH, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT.

I MENTIONED IT TO YOU LAST TIME.

I WANT TO CHECK OUR LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT I WAS REPRESENTING.

MS. HUMANIS, UH, THIS PROPERTY WAS APPROVED IN THE 1930S.

IT'S AN OLD SUBDIVISION AND IT, IT ABIDED BY ALL CODES THAT, THAT, UH, SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS, UH, IT WAS APPROVED BY A CITY ENGINEER.

I KNOW NOW THAT WE DON'T HAVE A CITY ENGINEER, WE HAVE A CITY MANAGER AND AN ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER THAT DO THE, UH, MAKE THE RULES, I GUESS, FOR THE, UH, FOR THE PLANNING ZONING, BECAUSE THE INSPECTORS GO OUT THERE AND THEY STOPPED THE CONSTRUCTION.

AND THEY SAID, IT'S NOT ME.

I GOT, I GOT ORDERS FROM HIGHER UP.

SO IT'S NOT INSPECTORS.

IT'S THE HIGHER UPS THAT, THAT ARE, THAT ARE, UH, I GUESS YOU'D CALL IT MICROMANAGING.

ANYWAY, THIS, UH, THIS PROPERTY, UH, HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR, LIKE I SAID, 1930S.

IT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS BY OTHER ENGINEERS, BY OTHER ARCHITECTS, BY OTHER ZONING INSPECTORS, FROM DIFFERENT TOWNS.

BUT IT, BUT, BUT HERE, IT DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T PASS.

UH, I ASKED YOU LAST TIME THAT THERE'S, THERE IS, UH, UH, STATE AGENCIES THAT WILL COME HERE AND HAVE HEARINGS TO HEAR THE PEOPLE OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT, UH, ALL THESE ZONING ORDINANCES.

AND I CALL THEM, UH, POLICIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION.

I BELIEVE THEY'RE USING POLICIES FROM ANOTHER TOWN OR SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT I COULDN'T FIND WHAT THEY TOLD ME TO.

I COME IN REPRESENT, UH, A LADY THAT HIRED ME.

SHE HAD A HEARING, OR SHE HAD A MEETING WITH THE CITY MANAGER.

I WASN'T, I WASN'T, I WASN'T ALLOWED TO BE IN THE MEETING.

UH, THERE THERE'S, THERE, THERE ARE RULES AND REGULATION.

THERE ARE LAWS YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALL IT, UH, UH, OPPRESSION THAT THEIR OPPRESSION, UH, PRESSING THE, UH, THE

[00:10:01]

AND AGAIN, MARY, YOU HAVE THE POWER.

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS CALL THE STATE AGENCIES.

THEY'LL COME DOWN HERE THAT HOLD A HEARING AND LET'S, LET'S GET THIS THING STRAIGHTENED OUT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

RUTH.

ANYBODY ELSE? NO, SIR.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

[6. Consideration and possible action to approve the minutes of the April 5,2022 Regular City Commission Meeting.]

I DON'T REMEMBER SIX CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.

APRIL 5TH, 2022, REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING.

DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? DO I HAVE A MOTION? SECOND BY ALL IN FAVOR.

ANY NAYS MOTION PASSES

[7. Public Hearing: To solicit input regarding a Re-plat of 608 Resaca Shores Boulevard, having a Legal Description of a 0.31-acre [14,000.00 Sq. Ft.] Tract comprised of Lot 6 and Lot 7, Block 5, Southern Comfort Subdivision, Cameron County, Texas, according to the map or plat thereof recorded in Cabinet 1, Slot 415-A, Map Record of Cameron County, Texas. Applicant: Carlos Meza and Anna Marie Meza.]

ACCORDING TO THE MAP OR PLATTER OF RECORDING IN CABINET, ONE SLOT FOR 15 DASH EIGHT RECORDED IN THE CHEMICAL IN TEXAS APPLICANT, CARLOS MEZA AND ANY ANNA MARIE MESSA AND, UH, INDICATE HER.

AND THEN THIS PERSON IS THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM COMMISSIONERS.

IF HE COULDN'T ON THIS PLANTER, ONE FOR THE RECORD, UH, THE FOLLOWING IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR A 6 0 8 BOULEVARD.

A PUBLIC HEARING WAS PUBLISHED IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER ON JULY 9TH, 2022, AND A PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE WAS MAILED TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET RADIUS OF SUBJECT PROPERTY.

NO OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED REQUEST WAS RECEIVED, UH, THE EXISTING ZONING IN SF ONE, SINGLE FAMILY.

ONE AGAIN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY, THEN, UM, I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING AT THE TIME IS A 5 42, AND I OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO COME AND TALK AND SPEAK.

YOU SAID THAT JOEL OPPOSITION, NO OPPOSITION, SIR.

WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY NOTES.

YOU NEED TO TALK, SIR, SIR.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE.

UH, MY ADDRESS IS FOUR SEVEN FOR A SECOND SHORES.

THERE'S A, MAY I SPEAK MY, I START, THERE'S A WAY TO MERGE, UH, PROPERTIES TOGETHER AND I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING THE REASON WHY WE'RE CHOOSING A REPLANT BECAUSE THAT'S A PRETTY EXPENSIVE PROCESS.

AND IF THE GOAL HERE IS JUST TO MERGE PROPERTY TOGETHER, YOU CAN DO IT BY METES AND BOUNDS.

AND THAT'S A LOT THAT'S EXPENSIVE.

A RECLAD, UH, THE COST OF A REPLAT IS ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S ABOUT AT LEAST FIVE TO $7,000.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW THE, THE ENTIRE GOAL FOR THE REPLANT.

I DON'T SEE IT HERE BECAUSE PLANNING IS TO BRING SERVICES TO A LOT.

THESE LOTS HAVE SERVICES, SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A REPLANT IS NEEDED.

IF THE GOAL IS TO MERGE PROPERTIES TOGETHER, A, A BOUNDARY, A SURVEY BOUNDARY ALONG WITH SOME MEETS AND BOUNDS THAT WOULD DO SUFFICIENT TO MERGE THE PROPERTIES TOGETHER.

AND SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE I'VE HEARD OF THIS BEFORE, AND, UM, I'M JUST A CONCERNED CITIZEN, AND I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND A BIT MORE ON WHY REPLAT IS BEING REQUESTED.

IT'S AN EXPENSIVE PROCESS.

AND, UH, YOU'RE ASKING THE PERSON TO DO TWO THINGS TWICE BECAUSE HE'S ALREADY SPENT WHEN HE FIRST PURCHASED THE LOT, HE ALREADY PAID FOR A PLAT.

IT CAME ALONG WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE LOTS AND TO ASK HIM TO REPLAT, THEN YOU'RE ASKING HIM TO PAY FOR THAT SERVICE AGAIN, IF YOU NEED THE, IF THE PROPERTY'S NEEDS TO BE MERGED TOGETHER, IT CAN BE DONE IN A SIMPLER WAY.

AND ALSO I HEARD THAT, UH, UH, HE WAS BEING, UM, I'M GOING TO SAY A THREAT.

I'M GOING TO SAY HE WAS BEING THREATENED.

THAT IF HE DOESN'T REPLAT, UH, THEY SHUT OFF HIS WATER.

I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S ILLEGAL.

YOU CANNOT SHUT OFF HIS WATER FOR, FOR THAT REASON.

NOW I'VE SPOKEN WITH SOMEBODY

[00:15:01]

SO IF THE CITY IS SAYING THAT TO PEOPLE, THAT'S SOMETHING TO RECONSIDER ON HOW TO APPROACH THE PUBLIC ON THAT CAUSE SHUTTING OFF THE WATER FOR THAT REASON.

UM, I DON'T THINK IT'S LEGAL.

SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT.

OKAY.

AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU ALL CAN SAY TO ME TOO, OR WHERE I CAN READ ON A LITTLE BIT MORE, CAUSE I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING FOR THE REASON FOR REPLANTING.

I KNOW, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE ORDINANCE CAME INTO PLACE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE STANDING IN RIGHT NOW, IT'S CUT UP IN A BUNCH OF, AND A BUNCH OF LITTLE, LOTS LIKE THAT TOO.

SO THAT WOULD MEAN THAT THIS PLACE ITSELF WOULD NEED A REPLANT AND THE CITY HAS NOT DONE A REPLANT IN THIS PLACE AND YET THE PEOPLE ARE BEING MADE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE REPAT GROUP.

AND THAT JUST SEEMS A LITTLE UNFAIR.

UNETHICAL.

IS THERE, UM, I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS, UH, LEGAL COUNSEL, UH, MR. SAUCY, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO LOOK INTO THAT.

UH, IT'S A VALID INQUIRY IF MEETS AND BOUNDS ARE ACCEPTABLE.

UH, WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO HAVE, UH, OUR CITIZENS INCUR COSTS THAT ARE UNNECESSARY, BUT SAME TIME.

I WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE STAY COMPLIANT TO WHATEVER STATUES, LAWS, POLICIES, ORDINANCES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.

OKAY.

BUT THAT'S A VALID CONCERN.

UH, I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO HAVE OUR CITIZENS INCUR ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT ARE UNNECESSARY.

SO I'M ASKING COUNCIL TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER AND COME BACK TO US AND, AND LET US KNOW A WHILE.

IF IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHERE IT DOESN'T OR WHAT'S THE SOLUTION TO THIS.

SURE.

I COULD COMMISSIONER, I CAN TELL YOU THAT NORMALLY THE REPLYING UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IS REQUIRED, BUT I CAN LOOK INTO THIS SPECIFIC CASE AND REPORT BACK TO YOU.

IF YOU NEED SOME SPECIFIC SPECIFIC INFORMATION.

COULD YOU POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION WHERE YOU FOUND THAT LEAPS AND BOUNDS WAS? UH, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A SURVEYING AND ENGINEERING FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND REPLAT AND PLANNING IS ONLY TO BRING SERVICES TO LOTS.

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S NEW TO ME.

AND I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED IN STUFF LIKE THIS AND I WANT TO LEARN AND HELP THE COMMUNITY.

AND I JUST THINK IT JUST SEEMED LIKE UNETHICAL TO ME.

SO THAT'S WHERE I COULD FIND ABOUT LEAPS AND BOUNDS OR WHERE, UM, MEETS AND BOUNDS.

I MEAN, YOU CAN DO A GOOGLE SEARCH, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, UM, I MEAN, IT'S A PRETTY BASIC PROCESS TO DO MEETS AND BOUNDS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD PROBABLY COST $700.

AND IT'S AN IT'S, IT'S A LEGAL DOCUMENT.

LIKE I SAID, EVEN THE PLACE WHERE WE'RE STANDING RIGHT NOW, IT'S ALL DONE BY MEETS AND BOUNDS.

IT'S AN ENTIRE BLOCK THAT USED TO BE A SUBDIVISION.

AND THEN IT WAS CUT UP INTO PIECES AS IT, AS IT WAS PURCHASED.

AND IT'S DONE BY MEETS AND BOUNDS.

THIS, THIS VERY PLACE IS NOT A SUBDIVISION PLAT.

UH, IT'S NOT A REPLANT, WHICH IS THE SAME SITUATION THAT WE'RE PUTTING THIS PERSON TO GO THROUGH.

UH, THAT'S ALL I'M I'M SAYING, OR LIKE AN EXCEPTION OR I GUESS A ROUNDABOUT WAY TO DO THINGS OR THAT LIKE AN ACTUAL ORDINANCE OR SOMETHING I CAN LOOK UP.

UM, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, METES AND BOUNDS ON THAT, ALL I'LL SAY IS IT WOULD GET, GIVE THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBDIVISION AND THEN BEARING IN DISTANCE ALL THE WAY AROUND AND BASICALLY MERGING THOSE TWO LOTS IS BASICALLY BY THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND, UH, JUST A COUPLE OF, UH, DISTANCES WITH BEARINGS THAT CLOSED THAT THOSE TWO LOTS, IT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE ME LIKE TWO HOURS TO DO THAT.

AND THE CHARGE FOR THAT IS ABOUT $700 TO, TO MERGE THEM BY METES AND BOUNDS.

BUT TO, FOR ME TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY ABOUT MEETS AND BOUNDS, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE TO IT.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE GOT TIME TO GO OVER SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT I'D LIKE TO, I MEAN, IT'S IN EVERY DEED.

I DUNNO IF YOU'VE READ, UH, PROPERTY DEEDS BEFORE IT'S THERE, THEY HAVE THEIR LEGAL DESCRIPTION.

AND THEN ALONG WITH DISTANCES AND BEARINGS THAT CLOSE THE PROPERTIES, UM, OKAY.

COMMISSIONER MEATS AND BROWNS IS GENERALLY USED TO DESCRIBE LARGE TRACKS OF LAND.

UH, BUT ONCE WE HAVE SUBDIVISION PLATS AND WE HAVE EASEMENTS AND WE HAVE SET OFFS AND WE HAVE THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT'S WHERE THE MUNICIPALITY REQUIRES PLANNING TO HAVE ORDERLY ACCESS TO THINGS LIKE EASEMENTS RIGHTS AWAY, ET CETERA.

AND THAT'S THE REASON THAT WE HAVE PLANNING REQUIREMENTS, RIGHT? I BEAT SOME BOUNDS ARE, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU TYPICALLY

[00:20:01]

AND THERE IS, AND THERE IS AN EVERY INSTANCE BECAUSE MOST OF THESE AREAS ARE FARMLAND WERE ORIGINALLY LARGE TRACKS OF LAND.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS, AS THEY SCALE DOWN THE LAND, THEY MOVE AWAY FROM MEETS AND BOUNDS INTO SUBDIVISION PLATS AND THINGS WERE NOT DONE PROPERLY, YOU KNOW, YEARS AGO.

AND, AND THERE, THERE WERE CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, EVERY COLONIAN TOWN PROBABLY IS, UH, DESCRIBED BY MEETS AND BOUNDS, BUT, BUT, BUT, YOU KNOW, AS, AS WE MOVE TOWARD, UH, YOU KNOW, THE PROPER WAY TO DO THINGS IS, IS THE, IS, IS THROUGH SUBDIVISION PLANNING.

BUT LIKE I SAID, I I'D BE HAPPY TO LOOK INTO IT FOR THE, SO WHY HASN'T THIS PLACE BEEN REPLANTED THEN IF THAT'S THE SITUATION I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, I, I DON'T, I I'LL, I'LL BE, I'LL BE HAPPY TO, I'LL BE HAPPY TO LOOK INTO IT, BUT, BUT THEY'RE NOT THE SAME RIGHT THERE.

AND THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT EQUAL.

WHY NOT? THIS IS, UH, THIS IS THE SAME SITUATION.

SO I CAN SHOW YOU IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE, UM, 2018.

UM, SINCE I CAME ON BOARD MAYBE TWO YEARS AGO THAT SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN, UM, ARGUING.

SO, SO TO, TO SAY THAT SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO NOW, IT'S JUST A, IT'S JUST A EASY WAY OF SAYING WE'LL LOOK INTO IT, BUT ARE WE ACTUALLY GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT EVERY TIME WE SAY, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO IT, BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT'S BEEN FIGHTING FOR THIS.

BECAUSE IF YOU ACTUALLY GO ON TO THE CITY OF GOOGLE CITY OF SAN BENITO ORDINANCES, YOU CAN CONTROL F PLAT REQUIREMENTS.

AND THERE ARE SOME VERBIAGE THERE ABOUT PLAT REQUIREMENTS FOR A SUBDIVISION ON THIS IS CREATING A SUBDIVISION INSIDE OF A SUBDIVISION.

AND HE'S RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, A SUBDIVISION NEEDS TO HAVE MEETS AND BOUNDS AND SETBACKS BECAUSE OF UTILITY LINES.

BUT THIS PROPERTY ART IS ALREADY A SUBDIVISION ALREADY HAS INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE ALREADY HAS STREETS OR WATER, ELECTRICITY.

THE PERSON SIMPLY, UH, LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

MY FATHER LIVES RIGHT HERE AND HE CAN SEE, YOU CAN SEE ON HIS HOUSE THAT HE LIVES ON TWO LOTS.

AND THEN I HOPE THAT THE CITY DOESN'T GO AND TURN OFF HIS WATER.

SHE IS REACHING UP TO HIS EIGHTIES, BUT BACK THEN YOU COULD BUILD AND BUY TWO LOTS AND BUILD RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, JUST AS LONG AS THERE'S NO UTILITIES IN THE CENTER OF THE LINE.

I THINK THIS IS CAUSING UNDUE HARDSHIP TO THE CITIZEN.

I THINK IT'S CAUSING EXTRA WORK FOR CODE COMPLIANCE AND PLANNING AND ZONING.

OH, I HOPE IT'S.

WE ACTUALLY LOOK INTO IT.

AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE ORDINANCES JUST GOOGLE CITY OF SAN BENITO ORDINANCE AND CONTROL F PLAT REQUIREMENTS.

AND IT SIMPLY SAYS FOR SUBDIVISIONS UM, UM, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, I GUESS, UTILITIES EACH SHOP TO SIGN OFF ON A PRIEST, A PIECE OF PROPERTY.

SO MY QUESTION WAS, IF THEY SIGNED OFF ON TWO DISTINCT DIFFERENT PROPERTIES, WOULD THERE BE A NEW SIGNATURE THAT'S NEEDED IF IT'S GOING TO BE COMBINED OR TO THE UTILITIES, NOT REALLY CARE AND JUST COMBINE IT ON THEIR OWN AND THIS SITUATION, IF THEY DO GET SIGNATURES AGAIN, IT'S BECAUSE THEY WANT THEM, BECAUSE IN ALL REALITY, THEY DON'T NEED THEM.

THE PLANT IS THERE AND IT ALREADY HAS ALL THE SIGNATURES HE'S ALREADY BEING SERVICED RIGHT NOW.

HE HAS WATER.

HE'S GOT LIGHT, HE'S GOT EVERYTHING.

HE DOESN'T NEED ANY, ANY ENTITY TO SIGN OFF OF IT.

SO WHAT IS HE GOING TO SIGN OFF? WHAT SIGNATURES ARE GOING TO BE PUT ON THE REPLANT? I HAVE NO IDEA.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD OF A REPLAT FOR SOMETHING LIKE

[00:25:01]

SO IT'S SOMETHING NEW TO ME AND I WANT TO LEARN FROM IT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TO SEE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BECAUSE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I HEAR ABOUT IT.

AND I'VE GOT A BROTHER THAT'S GOING THROUGH IT.

AND SO I WANT TO LEARN, I WANT TO LEARN WHY IT'S HAPPENING.

AND I'VE, I'VE MERGED TOGETHER PROPERTIES BEFORE WITH MEETS AND BOUNDS, AND THERE WAS NO ISSUES WITH IT.

AND SO IT WAS NOT IN SAN BENITO.

IT WAS, UH, IT WAS A WHILE BACK.

IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN BECAUSE IN THIS CASE, THE REASON WHY HE WAS ASKING TO MERGE THE PROPERTIES, UH, WAS BECAUSE HE BUILT A SWIMMING POOL.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THAT TRIGGERED THAT.

I MEAN, HE'S ALREADY GRANDFATHERED IN BECAUSE THEY GAVE HIM PERMISSION TO BUILD THE HOUSE ON THE TWO LOTS.

AND THE SWIM POOL DOESN'T FALL INTO TWO LOCK BALLS ON ONE LOT.

SO WHAT TRIGGERED THIS REPLAT IS MY OTHER QUESTION IS HE'S ALREADY GOT HIS HOME.

HE'S HEADED THERE SINCE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS, I THINK.

AND SO HE DECIDES TO BUILD A SWIMMING POOL.

IT'S NOT EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO LOTS.

SO, SO WHAT, WHAT'S THE ISSUE BECAUSE HE DECIDED TO BUILD A SWIMMING POOL.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION AS FAR AS GETTING THE SIGNATURES.

I DON'T SEE WHAT ENTITY I WANT TO CLARIFY.

I DON'T SEE WHAT ENTITY WOULD NEED TO SAY THAT'S IN BOUNDS WOULD BE BASICALLY JUST EVERY CITY ON WHAT THEY CHOOSE TO OR CHOOSE NOT TO APPROVE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

THERE'S NOTHING LAW, NO SOLID ORDINANCE.

NOTHING I CAN LOOK INTO.

I MEAN, I WANT TO KNOW, I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE PRINT OUT FOR THIS, FOR THE MEETS AND BOUNDS FOR THIS PLACE.

IT WOULDN'T LOOK LIKE EXACTLY LIKE WHAT'S ON HERE BECAUSE, UH, THIS PLACE IS ORIGINALLY, UH, A PLAT, A LARGE FLAT, AND THEN IT WAS A BUY MEETS AND BOUNDS.

THEY JOINED TWO PROPERTIES TOGETHER BY MEETS AND BOUNDS.

AND I DID HAVE THEM PRINTED OUT, BUT SORRY, I DIDN'T BRING THEM, BUT THIS PLACE HAS THE SAME, THAT QUESTION THAT YOU'RE ASKING THIS PLACE HAS IT, IT WAS, IT WAS A LARGE PLANT.

AND THEN THEY JOINED TWO LOTS BY METES AND BOUNDS AND THIS VERY SAME LOCATION.

SO THE ORDINANCES ON THERE IS THAT I IT'S A DEED.

IT'S A DEED AND IT'S JOINING TWO LOTS TOGETHER.

UH, I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT IN THEM, BUT I DIDN'T THINK YOU ALL WERE GOING TO ASK ME THAT.

SO I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T BRING IT, BUT IF YOU LOOK INTO IT, OH, WELL, I'M SORRY.

I JUST, WE KEEP HEARING THAT.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO LOOK THINGS UP.

AND SO THE PAPER THAT I GAVE YOU HERE HAS THE DEEDS, THE, AND IT'S, IT'S A, UH, IF YOU LOOK AT THE VOLUME AND PAGE OF THE THREE LEADS THAT ARE THERE, IT'LL, IT'LL GET, ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

IT'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

UH, IT'S PUBLIC INFORMATION.

ALL YOU GO IS YOU'D GO INTO THE CAMERON COUNTY, UH, WEBSITE AND YOU CAN RESEARCH ANY DEED AND IT'LL OPEN UP, UM, ALL THOSE TYPES OF MEETS AND BOUNDS.

THERE.

IT'S JUST A, IT'S JUST A DOCUMENT THAT STATES WHERE MY LOT LINE ENDS AND STARTS.

IT'S PRETTY, IT'S A, IT'S A VERBAL SURVEY.

SO TO SPEAK, IT'S A SURVEY IN WORDS THAT SAYS THE LOT STARTS HERE AND ENDS HERE.

IT'S THIS LONG, IT'S THIS WIDE, AND ALSO EXPLAINS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT UTILITIES.

AND IT TALKS ABOUT RIGHTS, SUCH AS MINERAL RIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

YOU GET THAT WHEN YOU PURCHASE A HOME, THEY'LL GIVE YOU THAT.

IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL, THEY'LL GIVE YOU A DEED AND IT'LL COME WITH MEETS AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTION.

IF YOU OWN A LOT IN A HALF OR TWO LOTS, UH, NOWADAYS WE ADD AN EXHIBIT TO IT AND THE EXHIBIT IS SIGNED AND SEALED.

THEN IT'LL SHOW EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THOSE LOTS WEATHER, UH, UTILITIES, UH, THE HOUSE AND SHOW EVERYTHING ALONG WITH THE MEETS AND BOUNDS.

AND THAT REALLY, I THINK THAT'S ALL THAT THE PERSON WOULD NEED, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S, UM, THAT'S MY OPINION FROM HAVING OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, THAT'S MY OPINION.

BUT, UM, I KNOW I DIDN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, BUT LIKE I SAID, THAT, THAT THE DEEDS, THE VOLUME OF, AND IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THERE NO ONE CAN ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, EVER ANSWER MY QUESTION, JUST TELL ME WHERE CAN I LEARN ABOUT THESE WEEKS ABOUT RIGHT HERE? JUST, UH, IF YOU READ THESE, THE DEEP, JUST LOOK IT UP THE DEED, AND IF YOU READ IT, IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT IT'S JOINING THESE TWO LOTS TOGETHER.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE BACK END TO IT, OF HOW EXACTLY DID THEY REACH THAT? WHAT ALLOWED THEM TO DO THAT, OR WHAT REQUIREMENTS WERE MET FOR THEM TO NOW BE ABLE TO DO

[00:30:01]

I'M SAYING THE SERVICES ARE ALREADY HERE.

IT'S ALREADY A PLAT, SO IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE REPLAT HERE.

IT DOESN'T, ALL THE SERVICES ARE HERE.

SO WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF A REPLANT.

NONE.

THAT'S WHY THEY DIDN'T DO IT HERE.

AND WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF A REPLAT THERE? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE SERVICES ARE THERE.

UM, BOTTOM LINE, I LIKE TO UNDERSTAND TOO THEN THAT'S WHY I'M.

AND LIKE I SAID EARLIER, UM, DEFINITELY WE ALSO WANT TO LEARN FROM THIS.

OKAY.

AND MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

UH, LIKE I SAID, I'LL REITERATE, I DON'T BELIEVE IN OUR RESIDENTS INCURRING ADDITIONAL COSTS IN ANY WAY.

OKAY.

SO, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE STAY WITHIN THE LEGAL PARAMETERS, UH, AND OF COURSE, UH, AND COMPLIANCE WITH HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS.

OKAY.

AND COUNSEL SAID HE WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND I'LL GET BACK TO US.

OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I REALLY APPRECIATE Y'ALL HEARING ME.

SURE.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, MR. GUTTER, WOULD YOU, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON THIS? I KNOW I COULD SEE ME OVER THERE.

SO HI, ALMA GETTA, I'M ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTORS, AND ALSO I'M A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

UM, WHEN YOU DO A MEETS AND BOUNDS, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH JUST A SURVEY.

UM, AND A SURVEY IS DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL SURVEYOR.

UM, AND WHAT IT GIVES YOU IS THE PROPERTY BOUNDARIES, JUST KIND OF GIVING YOU THE NORTHERN END OF BEARING IN THE LINE DISTANCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

UM, I'VE DONE PLATS IN WILMINGTON COUNTY, UM, TRAVIS COUNTY, UM, BROWSES COUNTY, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY HERE NOW IN CAMERON COUNTY AND A MEETS AND BOUNDS SURVEY IS NOT THE SAME AS A PLOT.

YOUR PLOT IS WHAT MAKES YOU A LEGAL LOT OF RECORD.

AND WHAT GIVES YOU, UM, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST FROM MY ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE, IT'S KIND OF WHAT GIVES YOU THE ULTIMATE BOUNDARY.

UM, A LOT OF THE TIMES IT NEEDS INVOLVED OR NOT RECOGNIZED IS A SUBDIVISION BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT IS PROVIDED IN A PLOT, RIGHT.

AND APPLY IT.

YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

UM, THE, THE STUFF THAT YOU SEE IN A MEETS AND BOUNDS, IT'S NOT SUFFICIENT FOR AN ENGINEER TO KIND OF DETERMINE WHAT'S THEIR RIGHT, UM, NEEDS AND BOUNCE DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE LOCATION OF SURVEYS, OF EASE, MENTOR, THINGS LIKE THAT.

IT JUST GIVES YOU THE OUTER BOUNDARY OF THINGS.

UM, WHEN I LOOK AT A REPLAT, WHENEVER IT COMES RIGHT THROUGH MY DESK, I'M SEEING IF WE HAVE SUFFICIENT EASEMENT, RIGHT.

UM, I'M LOOKING, WE HAVE SUFFICIENT RIGHT OF WAY.

I'M LOOKING AT DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE SUFFICIENT, UM, INFORMATION FOR OUR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

RIGHT.

MY JOB HERE IS TO PROTECT THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE CITY, WATER, SEWER, YOU KNOW, DRAINAGE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WHENEVER A PLAT COMES IN I'M AND ENTERING THAT, THAT INFORMATION IS PROVIDED THERE, DONE INFORMATION CAN NOT BE PROVIDED WITH AN, A MEETS AND BOUNDS SURVEY.

RIGHT.

IT MEETS AND BOUNDS IS JUST THE OUTER PROPERTY.

IT'S JUST A BOUNDARY LINES.

RIGHT.

AND IT DOES NOT MAKE IT ILLEGAL A LOT OF RECORD.

UM, SO YEAH, SO THERE, THERE'S MORE THAT GOES INTO IT WHEN YOU LOOK AT A SUBDIVISION COMING IN.

RIGHT.

UM, ALSO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SERVICE LINES, RIGHT? YES.

RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, TWO LOTS, UM, THEY, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SERVICES.

RIGHT.

BUT WHENEVER YOUR PLAQUE COMES IN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I GET TO LOOK AT AS WELL.

I GET TO LOOK AT HOW YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS GOING TO GO IN THERE.

I GET TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, THE STREETS, THE RIGHT OF WAY, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET ACCESS THERE? STUFF THAT YOU'RE NOWHERE NEAR GETTING INFORMATION AND ABUSE AND BOUNDS.

RIGHT.

UM, AND LIKE I SAID, IN A LOT OF PLACES, LEAPS AND BOUNDS IS NOT SUFFICIENT IN ORDER FOR YOU TO, UM, TO SUBDIVIDE, UM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT, UM, YEAH, I THINK THEY GOT IT.

SO MAYOR COMMISSIONERS, UH, MR. UH, MR. SAUCY WILL GIVE YOU THE LEGAL INTERPRETATION AND ALSO THE STATE STATUES THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING.

THANKS, SIR.

SO I WANTED TO READ 'EM, UH, UH, JUST REAL QUICK.

I DID A CONTROL F LIKE A FRANKLIN LEGAL PUBLISHING.

THEY ARE THE, THE HOLDERS OF OUR ORDINANCES.

AND IT TALKS ABOUT SIMPLY, I JUST LOOKED UP REPLIES AND SAYS, HOWEVER, AND IT'S ALSO A STATES FOR SUBDIVISIONS THAT SAYS, IF THE SUBDIVISION AS REPLIED, IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY APPRECIABLE, ALTERATION, OR IMPROVEMENT OF UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, STREETS, ALLEYS, BUILDING, SETBACK LINES, ET CETERA, NO ENGINEERING PLANS OR PRELIMINARY PLAT WILL BE REQUIRED.

SO THAT BASICALLY STATING SINCE ALL OF THAT ALREADY EXISTS ON THESE TWO LOTS, THERE'S NO NEED FOR REPLAT THINK IT'S ADDITIONAL WORK AND ADDITIONAL COSTS.

THAT'S UNNECESSARY CONVENTION.

I THINK YOU SAID THAT NO CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND NO PRELIMINARY PLAT, CORRECT.

YOU SAID PRELIMINARY PLAT AND NO ENGINEERING PLANS OR PRELIMINARY PLAT WILL BE REQUIRED.

WE'RE NOT REQUIRED RECURRENT OR PRELIMINARY PLAN.

WE'RE REQUIRING A FINAL PLAT.

AND THAT'S AN ACCORDING TO STATE STATUTE.

AGAIN, MAYOR COMMISSIONERS, LET MR. SAUCY DO HIS JOB.

AND SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.

THEN I'VE ASKED FOR IT FOR TWO YEARS.

SO I HOPE WE GET SOMETHING.

OKAY.

WE'LL LOOK INTO IT.

SO YEAH, THE QUESTIONS, ANYBODY ELSE? NONE.

[00:35:01]

THE TIME IS, UH, 6 0 5 AND I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[8. Consideration and possible action to approve a Re-plat of 608 Resaca Shores Boulevard, having a Legal Description of a 0.31-acre [14,000.00 Sq. Ft.] Tract comprised of Lot 6 and Lot 7, Block 5, Southern Comfort Subdivision, Cameron County, Texas, according to the map or plat thereof recorded in Cabinet 1, Slot 415-A, Map Record of Cameron County, Texas. Applicant: Carlos Meza and Anna Marie Meza.]

AND THEN VERY CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE REPLOT 6 0 8 SECOND SHORES BOULEVARD, HAVING A LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF POINT 31 ACRES, 14,000 SQUARE FEET TRACK A COMPROMISE OF LOT, SIX LOT SEVEN BLOCK FIVE SOUTHERN COMFORTS OF DIVISION CHEMICAL IN TEXAS.

ACCORDING TO THE MAP OR PLOT THE ROUGH RECORDING, UH, COMING UP WITH ONE SLOT 4, 1 5 DASH EIGHT RECORDS OF CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS APPLICANT, CARLOS MEZA AND ANY I KNOW MARIA, UH, UH, AND, UH, MR. PERCENT IS THANK YOU, MAYOR PROTEIN COMMISSIONERS.

IF WE CANNOT THIS FOR THE RECORD, UH, THIS IS A REPLAT.

SO BASICALLY THE PROPERTY IS ZONED SINGLE FAMILY.

ONE, THE DEVELOPERS COMBINING LOTS, SIX AND SEVEN INTO ONE LOCK TO MEET CITY ORDINANCES.

AS A RESIDENCE LIES OVER PROPERTY LINES AND VIOLATES ZONING ORDINANCES.

SPECIFICALLY THE SIDE YARD SETBACK LINE, A FIRE HYDRANT IS LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET, APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY, WHICH MEETS CITY ORDINANCES.

THE REPLAT COMPLIES WITH ALL APPLICABLE CITY ORDINANCES AND STATE STATUES.

UH, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

YEAH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WE'RE GOING TO REQUIRE THEM TO PUT SIDEWALKS IN AS PART OF THE ORDINANCE FOR SUBMITTING A FINAL PLAT.

THIS IS A POOL ONLY SAY NO COMMISSIONER, NOT A NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION.

SO IT'LL JUST BE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SWIMMING POOL.

OH, OKAY.

IF IT WAS A NEW HOME, THE ANSWER WOULD BE YES.

IF THERE ARE THE SIDEWALKS IN THAT SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS WHAT WE AGREED UPON, THERE ARE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DON'T DO NOT HAVE SIDEWALKS, SO THAT HASN'T CHANGED.

OKAY.

SO ARE WE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD OR WE'RE GOING TO TAKE, LET ME ASK A QUESTION.

UM, IT TYPICALLY WE CAN GIVE OUT THESE LETTERS, RIGHT? AND YOU NOTIFY THE RESIDENTS.

THERE'S ALSO A VERBIAGE THAT STATES HAVE 20% OR MORE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS SAY THAT THEY DON'T APPROVE THIS.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? THEN IT W IT WOULD NEED A MAJORITY TO APPROVE IT.

AND THEN IF WE DON'T APPROVE IT, I BELIEVE IT'S A SUPER MAJORITY OR SUPER MAJORITY FOR CARTER.

AND IF IT DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T GET REPLANTED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER ISSUES.

NOW WE TURN OFF THE WATER AND WE TURN, WE W WE DON'T ISSUE THE POOL PERMIT APPROVAL, SIMPLE.

THAT'S WHAT TRIGGERED THIS COMMISSIONER.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAID EARLIER.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW POOL USUALLY TRIGGERS THE REVIEW OF THESE ITEMS. SO IF IT WASN'T TRIGGERED WHEN THE NEW HOME CONSTRUCTIONS PLANTS WERE BUILT, AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT OCCURRED, ANYTIME THERE'S AN ADDITION, A REDUCTION.

IF THERE'S A CHANGE IN FOOTPRINT, YOU PUT A SHED, A GARAGE, A SWIMMING POOL, A POOL HOUSE, ANYTHING THAT'S CHANGED AS THE FOOTPRINT, THE IMPERVIOUS COVER.

IT REQUIRES A REVIEW.

IF THE HOUSE CATCHES ON FIRE, AND IF MORE THAN 50% OF THE STRUCTURE GETS DAMAGED, THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE HAS TO MEET THE NEW CODES.

AND YOU KNOW, THAT MAYOR FROM YOUR FIREFIGHTING DAYS, THESE RULES ARE, I'VE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY FOR A LONG TIME.

IT'S ALL I THINK OF ANSWER THE QUESTION.

I'M GOING TO ABSTAIN FROM THE VOTE.

OKAY.

DO WE HAVE MOTION EITHER TO TABLE OR TO HAVE A QUESTION? OKAY.

AT THIS POINT, AFTER THESE DISCUSSIONS, DOES STAFF RECOMMEND APPROVAL? YES, SIR.

WE'RE RECOMMENDING THE APPROVAL OF THIS REPLANT.

IS IT SOMETHING THAT, UH, JOHN CHAPTER 13 NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES, THIS IS A NON-CONFORMING PROPERTY BECAUSE IT'S BUILT OVER PROPERTY LINES.

UH, THERE IS, THERE'S TWO LOTS THAT WERE RECORDED.

THERE'S A MIDDLE LINE THERE, WHICH IS A COMMON LINE THAT HASN'T BEEN ABANDONED AND THERE ARE FIVE FOOT SETBACKS THAT WERE RECORDED FOR THOSE LOTS.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN REMOVED.

THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN REMOVE THEM IS BY REPLANTING, NOT BY ME TO MOUTH.

LIKE THE OTHER GENTLEMAN SAID, SO MOTION TO APPROVE.

OKAY.

I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GARCIA A SECOND, SECOND BY ALL IN FAVOR.

ANY NAYS? I WON'T NAME NAMES.

SO MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU.

UH, SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD THIS BOOK.
