Applicant: Elias Lozano. DBA Camel Tow.]

ACCORDING TO THE PLATT, RECORDED IN VOLUME ONE, PAGE SIX OF THE CAMERON COUNTY MAP RECORDS APPLICANT EZ LOSANO, DBA CAMEL TOW.

UM, WE NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THIS IS GONNA BE THROUGH, UH, JOANNA.

SORRY.

YOU'LL BE PRESENTING THIS ITEM? YES.

I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

WELL, WE'LL OPEN UP FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, LET THE PEOPLE THEN, UH, WE'LL, THEN WE CAN, UH, MAYBE ASK YOU QUESTIONS.

UH, THE TIME IS, UH, 5 42 AND OPEN PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN FOR THE PUBLIC.

SIR, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

WHERE AT JAVIER GOMEZ? UH, 1521 RUSSELL LANE.

I'M NOT GOOD AT PUBLIC SPEAKING, BUT I MEAN, I'VE LIVED HERE MY WHOLE LIFE AND I DON'T THINK WE'VE HAD A TOWING COMPANY OR A JUNKYARD.

I DON'T KNOW WHO HE WANTS.

HIS INTENTIONS ARE, I THINK BACK THEN IT WAS A JUNKYARD AND NOW HE'S TRYING TO GET A TOWING BUSINESS.

UM, IT'S A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

I'VE LIVED THERE 2021 OR 22 YEARS AND NOTHING LIKE THAT HAS EVER COME UP SINCE THAT LAND HAD BEEN VACANT FOR SO MANY YEARS.

BUT HOPEFULLY THE INTENTION WAS TO, TO BUILD OFFICES, NOT JUNKYARDS OR TOWING COMPANIES.

AND AS FAR AS, UM, I, I THINK THAT BRINGS ON CREATURES THAT WE DON'T WANT, LIKE, UH, POSSUMS, RACCOONS AND ALL THAT STUFF THAT WE DON'T NEED IN THE CITY OR IN MY BACKYARD.

I WOULDN'T WANT THAT IN MY BACKYARD.

I JUST HAVE ONE MORE COMMENT ON, UM, WHEN BACK TWO YEARS AGO, I THINK WHEN HE TRIED TO DO HIS, UH, JUNKYARD, HE, UH, I HAD BEEN SICK.

I'VE BEEN HOME FROM WORK, AND HE, UH, HE ACTUALLY CAME AND TOLD ME, UH, I'M GONNA PUT SOME PIGS OUT HERE, RIGHT HERE BY YOUR BACKYARD, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT, I MEAN, BECAUSE YOU ALL DIDN'T WANT MY TOWING COMPANY.

SO I DON'T KNOW THAT WAS PART OF A VENGEANCE OR WHAT IT WAS FOR.

BUT, UH, WE FINALLY PUT UP A PRIVACY FENCE AND THAT KIND OF KEPT THE VIEW OF THE PIGS AWAY FROM OUR LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE HAVE THERE.

IT'S MORE RESIDENTIAL, AND I WOULD WANNA KEEP IT THAT WAY, SO I ASK FOR ABLE TO OPPOSE IT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ANYBODY ELSE? GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME'S, UH, ELIA LOSANO.

I OWN AND RESIDE AT THE LOCATION IN QUESTION 10 47 NORTH OSCAR WILLIAMS ROAD.

A FEW MONTHS AGO, I SENT OUT AN EMAIL TO MS. MALONA, MR. GUERRA, MR. GALVAN, MS. SANCHEZ, MR. VCO.

WHICH WERE THE COMMISSIONERS AT THE TIME.

AND MR. GARCIA,

[00:15:01]

I STATED THAT MR. MANNO DE LA ROSA WOULD DO ANYTHING IN HIS POWER TO NOT LET ME REZONE.

I ALSO MENTIONED MOST AMERICANS LIVE TO THE AGE OF SEVEN FIVE.

I AM CURRENTLY 35 WITH THAT STATISTIC.

I HAVE 40 YEARS TO GO.

I WANT TO KNOW IF MR. LAROZA STILL HAS A HOLD ON THE COMMISSION.

IF HE DOES, I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT TILL I GET ENOUGH VOTES BECAUSE 6.33 ACRES OF LAND IS TOO MUCH FOR JUST ONE HOUSE.

I HAVE READ THE LETTERS THAT I WAS TOLD THAT WERE SENT IN ONE FIRST DATES.

THE AREA IS AGRICULTURAL SPACE, SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING.

YET RANDALL P CRANE WAS ALLOWED COMMERCIAL ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME.

PLANS TO GO COMMERCIAL WITH WHICH THEY OWN FROM BUSINESS.

SEVEN, SEVEN NEXT TO COLLIGAN WATER ALL THE WAY TO WILLIAMS ROAD, TO RUSSELL LANE.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FUNERAL HOME IS ALSO COMMERCIAL.

NOT TO MENTION ALL, ALL THE BUSINESSES ON WILLIAMS ALL THE WAY TO THE EXPRESSWAY, THE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING SITS ON RUSSELL LANE.

SECOND, THEY MENTIONED A BUNCH OF JUNK AND IS BEING VISIBLE.

I WILL MEET ALLSTATE REQUIREMENTS AT YET THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS WRECKED VEHICLES THAT ARE VISIBLE, YET NO ONE IS TELLING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

AND IF I WERE TO RESOLVE TO COMMERCIAL, THE COMMISSION WOULD NOT A, BE ABLE TO STOP A TIRE SHOP, A MECHANIC SHOP, BECAUSE ONCE COMMERCIAL, THAT IS A RIGHT TO DO.

THE SECOND LETTER IS ALSO ALSO MENTIONS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, YET I JUST MENTIONED AROUND ME IS GOING COMMERCIAL AND MY LAND WON'T BE GETTING DEVELOPED BY ME INTO RESIDENTIAL, AND THAT IS CAUSING THE CITY TO LOSE OUT ON PROPERTY TAX REVENUE.

IF THE CITY ONLY WANTS TO DEVELOP STRICTLY HOMES AND NO BUSINESSES, THE CITY MIGHT GET ANNEXED INTO THE, INTO THE CITY OF BROWNSVILLE OR HARLINGEN.

BROWNSVILLE IS NOT TOO FAR OFF ALREADY.

THE REASON I WANT TO, I WANT IT HERE INSTEAD OF THE COUNTY, IS BECAUSE TO TOLL FOR THE CITY, ONE MUST BE INSIDE CITY LIMITS.

AND IT, AND I FIT THE LAND AND USE CHART, UNLESS THE CITY WANTS TO CHANGE ITS REGULATIONS TO ALLOW ANYONE TO TOW FOR THE CITY AND GET ON THE ROTATION, ON THE ROTATION LIST, I'LL BE ALL FOR IT.

AND LOOK INTO BUYING LAND AS WELL.

IN THE COUNTY.

IF THE COMMISSION WANTS TO LISTEN TO TWO LETTERS, THE COMMISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED MR. CRANE TO GO COMMERCIAL OR DEVELOP.

ARE WE NOT IN THE LAND OF THE FREE THE CHOICE ONLY SITS ON THE COMMISSIONERS.

SO DO I NEED TO WAIT A FEW YEARS AND GET THE RIGHTS TO VOTE INTO THE COMMISSION? THANK YOU.

PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

UH, TIME IS, UH, 5 48.

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.

NUMBER 11, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION AFTER PUBLIC HEARING ON REQUEST OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSENT TO TOWING SERVICE AT 10 47 NORTH OSCAR WILLIAMS ROAD, ALSO BEARING A LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF 6.33 ACRES AUTO LOTS FOUR AND FIVE BLOCK 129 SAN BERNARDINO LAND AND WATER COMPANY SUBDIVISION IN THE CITY OF SAN BENITO, CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS.

ITEM

[11. Consideration and possible action after public hearing on request of a Conditional Use Permit to consent a Towing Service at 1047 N. Oscar Williams Rd, also bearing a legal description of 6.33 Acres out of Lots Four (4) and Five (5), Block One Hundred Twenty-nine (129), San Benito Land and Water Company Subdivision in the City of San Benito, Cameron County, Texas according to the plat recorded in Volume 1, Page 6 of the Cameron County Map Records. Applicant: Elias Lozano. DBA Camel Tow.]

ACCORDING TO THE PLATT, RECORDED IN VOLUME ONE, PAGE SIX OF THE CAMERON COUNTY MAP OF RECORDS OF APPLICANT ELIAS LOSANO, DBA TOWING, UM, DBA TOW.

THIS ITEM WENT BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, UH, ON, I BELIEVE, OH, I'M SORRY.

IT DOESN'T HAVE THE DATE.

THIS PLAN, UH, WENT BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND WAS DENIED THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.

UH, JOANNA, WOULD YOU, UH, UH, ADDRESS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND CONDITIONAL USE SO THAT THERE'S A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THERE? YEAH.

SO A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS GRANTED BY THE, UH, COMMISSION IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS, UM, DEPENDING ON THE AREA AND IF IT MEETS SOME OF THE CRITERIA TO FIT THAT AREA.

UM, COMMERCIAL IS ONE THING BY RIGHT BY RIGHT.

THIS USE IS EITHER LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.

UM, NOT COMMERCIAL.

SO HE IS CORRECT.

WE HAVE REZONED, UH, SOME SECTIONS OFF OF THE MAIN ROAD TO COMMERCIAL.

HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHAT IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT, IT WOULD BE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL, NOT COMMERCIAL.

IF HE GOES COMMERCIAL, HE WOULD

[00:20:01]

STILL HAVE TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD TO TRY TO GET A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

AND THAT'S EVEN FOR, THAT'S FOR COMMERCIAL ONE AND COMMERCIAL TWO, THEY BOTH REQUIRE ACUP AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO APPLY FOR A REZONING, WHICH WOULD GO TO AP AND Z COMMITTEE AND WOULD REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING AS WELL.

SO HE CAN REZONE TO COMMERCIAL IT BECAUSE IT DOES FIT THAT LAND USE.

COMMERCIAL MEANING RETAIL.

AND LET'S JUST SAY THE BOARD APPROVES IT AND YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? COMMERCIAL DOES WORK IN THAT, IN THAT ZONE, BECAUSE IT DOES, HE WOULD, BECAUSE IT'S STILL NOT, UM, GRANTED BY, RIGHT.

HE WOULD STILL HAVE TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO SEE IF THE BOARD WOULD ALLOW IT THERE, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, IT DOESN'T FIT THAT, UM, THAT ZONE.

NOW, IF HE COMES BEFORE THE BOARD RE ZONES TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR ATTEMPTS TO DO THAT, AND LET'S JUST SAY IT WAS GRANTED, THEN HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME BEFORE BACK, BACK BEFORE THE BOARD FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BECAUSE IT'S GRANTED BY RIGHT.

UM, HOWEVER, NOTHING IN THAT AREA IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.

IT'S COMMERCIAL IN SOME SMALL CASES.

AND, UM, RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL MEANING RETAIL.

HE HAS A COMMENT BACK THERE.

THERE'S TWO TYPES.

C ONE, C TWO.

SO, UM, YES, SIR.

I'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE.

COMMERCIAL, PLEASE COME UP TO THE MIC.

STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN PLEASE.

UM, ELIA LOSANO.

IF I WERE TO RESOLVE TO COMMERCIAL AND IF IT WAS APPROVED, I DO NEED TO GET A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ON THE TOW TRUCK.

BUT A TIRE SHOP, A MECHANIC SHOP DOES NOT REQUIRE APPROVAL ONCE, ONCE COMMERCIAL.

AND, UH, IT INVOLVES VEHICLES.

JOHN, I HAVE A QUESTION.

ON A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UM, WHO SETS THE TIMEFRAME ON THE APPROVAL? THAT WOULD BE, UH, APPROVAL.

IN WHAT SENSE? I KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S ANOTHER, THERE'S WHENEVER THEIR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS, UH, APPROVED BY THE BOARD, IT CAN BE APPROVED FOR A SET TIME, A YEAR, TWO YEARS, THREE YEARS.

NORMALLY THEY TRY TO GO FOR A YEAR, UM, BUT THE PERMIT CAN BE REVOKED AT ANY TIME BY THE COMMISSION.

SO WE'VE SEEN THAT WITH, UM, BARS AND WE'VE SEEN IT WITH, UM, URBAN STRATEGIES ACROSS FROM THE VOTING LOCATION.

IT DOESN'T FIT THE USE, BUT THEY APPLIED FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND WE CAN HOLD THEM TO MORE STRICT STANDARDS.

ACCORDING TO WHAT THE P AND Z DID, DID THE P AND Z DISCUSS ANY TYPE OF STANDARDS THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO SET TO ALLOW THIS PERMIT TO GO THROUGH? UH, NO.

THEY WERE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT DIDN'T FIT THE LAND USE IN THE AREA AT ALL.

UM, IT WASN'T LIKE IT FIT IN COMMERCIAL AND, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT IT, IT KIND OF MET THAT CRITERIA AND YOU WERE GOING FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL.

UM, IT'S MORE OF AN INDUSTRIAL, YOU WOULD DEFINITELY BE CREATING A SPOT ZONE.

UM, IF YOU WERE TO ZONE IT FOR THAT.

THERE'S NOTHING IN THE AREA FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AND THAT AREA WAS HE AT? CORRECT.

SO THERE'S, OKAY.

UH, I MEAN, HIS POINT IS MADE THAT, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE STREET THERE'S PARKED CARS INSIDE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AREA AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

UM, DO WE NEED TO CLEAN THAT UP SINCE WE'RE GOING? I MEAN, THAT'S A WHOLE SEPARATE, SEPARATE QUESTION, BUT WE'D CERTAINLY, IF WE'RE GONNA STICK TO AN AREA THAT HAS WHAT WE NEED TO DO, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO, TO, UH, SET THE STANDARDS? OKAY.

SOME HOMES, SOME HOMES LOOK LIKE THEY'RE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

SO WE'VE, AS YOU KNOW, CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN OUT AND WE HAVE BEEN, UH, SENDING OUT QUITE A BIT OF LETTERS IN, UH, ADVISING PEOPLE THAT WE'RE CLEANING UP.

WE WANT YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR VEHICLES ARE OPERATING, YOU'RE ABLE TO MOVE THEM.

UH, THEY DON'T HAVE JUNK VEHICLES.

IF THEY SEEM LIKE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN MOVED IN MORE THAN 30 TO 60 DAYS, YOU'RE GONNA GET A LETTER.

UM, THEY DO CALL US.

THEY SHOW US THAT IT'S WORKING, WE'RE FINE WITH IT.

UM, BUT WE'RE OUT THERE TRYING TO CLEAN UP WHAT WE CAN SO THAT THE CITY IS MORE PRESENTABLE AND PEOPLE WANNA COME HERE.

UM, SINCE THEN, UM, HE DID TRY TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD AGAIN, FOR THIS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, IT IS ALLOWED TO APPLY FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT THROUGH AGRICULTURAL.

SO HAS IT, UM, HAS IT BEEN SEWN WHAT HE'S GOT? HAS IT BEEN SEWN FOR, FOR ANYTHING RIGHT NOW? CURRENTLY HE'S AGRICULTURAL.

UM, SO WHEN HE BUILT HIS HOME, OUR, OUR ORDINANCE ALLOWS FOR YOU TO BUILD ONE SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON AGRICULTURAL, BUT NOTHING ELSE.

[00:25:01]

HOWEVER, YOU ALSO HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT.

AND YOU MAY HAVE A LARGE AGRICULTURAL PIECE OF LAND IN AN INDUSTRIAL AREA THAT JUST HASN'T BEEN REZONED.

AND IF I WAS TAKING THIS BEFORE THE BOARD IN THAT AREA, IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY.

UM, IT FITS THE AREA, IT FITS THE NEED.

UM, I THINK THAT THE BO, THE PNZ BOARD WOULD'VE PROBABLY APPROVED SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT SITUATION, RIGHT? YOU'RE AGRICULTURAL, BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY ON THE FASTEST GROWING STREET IN WHICH SAN BENITO, WHICH IS BECOMING HIGHLY, UH, LOOKED AT BY DEVELOPERS.

I MEAN EVERYTHING ALL THE WAY TO THE CITY LIMITS HAS, I'VE MET WITH PEOPLE ABOUT DEVELOPING REZONING, BUILDING, UH, SUBDIVISIONS, WHICH SPEAKS TO THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.

AND SO I WOULD ACTUALLY CONTEND THAT PERHAPS DENYING THIS, YOU'LL DO BETTER IN THE LONG RUN FOR THE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY THAN BY GOING THE DIRECTION YOU'RE TRYING TO GO.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN'T SUPPORT THE FACTS.

THAT'S JUST A SUPPOSITION BECAUSE I WORK OUT OF TOWN.

SO IF I RESOLVE COMMERCIAL, BASICALLY HAVE TO GET MYSELF A JOB THERE.

I'M TRYING, I'M TRYING TO COME HOME, BASICALLY.

I DON'T WANNA BE WORKING OUT OF TOWN.

SO IF I, I DON'T GET APPROVED FOR THIS, I WILL RESOLVE A COMMERCIAL EVENTUALLY.

AND CARS MIGHT BE THE, YOU KNOW, MECHANIC SHOP, TIRE SHOP.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD, I WOULD PLAN ON DOING.

IT WOULD REQUIRE A REPL, RIGHT? YES.

AND IT WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED.

HE WOULD REQUIRE WITHIN A CERTAIN DISTANCE OF THE HOME.

HE WOULD REQUIRE REPL.

HE WOULD HAVE TO, UM, BUILD TWO COMMERCIAL STANDARDS.

HE WOULD HAVE TO SEPARATE HIS HOME FROM THE COMMERCIAL POLLUTION OF IT.

HE WOULD GO, HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

SAME THING.

IF HE WERE TO GET APPROVED FOR THE TOWING SERVICE, HE WOULD HAVE TO, UM, AND THEN SUBDIVIDING WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE HIM TO LOOK AT A CORRECT.

INSTALLING A FIRE HYDRANT.

COST THREE, A FIRE HYDRANT, SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS.

WE CERTAINLY WANT YOU TO COME HOME.

AND WE, WE, NO KIDDING, KIDDING.

BUT WE JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS.

IT'S JUST LIKE I SAID, UH, IF IT'S NOT THIS A BE COMMERCIAL, AND IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS? A MECHANIC, A MECHANIC SHOP, A VEHICLE WRECK VEHICLE SOMETIMES.

WELL, WELL, I IF, IF THAT'S YOUR CONCERN WRECK VEHICLE, IT MIGHT END UP BEING A RED VEHICLE WITHOUT A FENCE.

'CAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT REGULATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO A MECHANIC SHOP TO, WHEN IT COMES TO A TOW TRUCK.

TOW TRUCK HAS TO BE COVERED, BASICALLY.

WELL, SIR, WE, WE, WE WANNA WORK WITH WE UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND, AND YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME TO BRING THE MIC.

WE ALWAYS WANNA WORK WITH WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET TO.

BUT I, I PLEASE BE CAREFUL IN, IN HOW YOU KIND OF, YOU KNOW, APPROACH THE, WE DON'T WANT THIS TO BE CONTENTIOUS.

WE WANT THIS TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH YOU.

I'M, I'M, I'M, I'M WILLING TO WORK WITH Y'ALL AND JUST, I'M INSANE.

YOU KNOW, WHAT IF I DON'T, IF I DON'T GET IT, I COULD STILL GO COMMERCIAL.

BECAUSE YOU STILL WORK WITH PROPERTY, AS WE SAID, PROPERTIES, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE, THE AREA IS COMMERCIAL.

BUT YOU, BUT YOU UNDERSTAND TOO, WHAT HE'S SAYING BY COMMERCIAL STANDARDS BUILDING.

THIS IS UNDER, WHAT CAN WE, UH, TRY TO SEE, WE CAN MEET WITH THIS GENTLEMAN.

MAYOR, I WAS GONNA SUGGEST THAT IF I COULD, MR. SANO, UH, I'D LIKE TO SET UP A MEETING WITH YOU AND THE STAFF AND WE'LL, WE'LL WORK THROUGH THIS.

I THINK THERE'S, I THINK EVERYBODY'S HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

WE JUST WE'RE GETTING THERE FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES.

AND, AND REALLY THE STAFF'S CONCERN IS JUST COMPLIANCE AND ADHERENCE TO THE SUBDIVISION RULES AND THE ORDINANCES.

UM, AND I THINK LISTENING TO MR. LOZANO, I THINK HE WANTS TO DO THAT TOO.

UH, WE'RE JUST APPROACHING IT FROM TWO DIFFERENT ANGLES.

SO LET ME SET UP A MEETING WITH HIM.

UH, WE'LL WORK WITH THE STAFF, OBVIOUSLY.

UH, HE IS A, A, A, A HOMEOWNER HERE AND A TAXPAYER AND WANNA RESPECT HIS WISHES.

BUT, UH, I'LL GET YOUR INFORMATION, MR. AND THAT, AND WE'LL SET IT UP.

IN THE MEANTIME, I WOULD MOTION TO DENY THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

SO WE JUST DENY IT FOR NOW.

AND THEN, UH, WE'LL SET UP A MEETING WITH HIM.

SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE FEE AGAIN, OR, OR HOW THAT, OR LET'S, UH, LET THE, WE, WE'LL TALK TO THE CITY MANAGER AND LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

LET'S SEE.

WE, SO MOTION TO DENY.

I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GOODMAN TO DENY.

SECOND BY MAYOR POT GALVAN.

ANY NAYS? MOTION PASSES TO DENY.

I THINK THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE PERFECTLY FINE.

THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING THE LARGER LOT ON THE END TO BE COMMERCIAL.

THAT WAS MY, THAT WAS MY QUESTION.

CONCERN.

THE OTHER CONCERN, THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD ALSO IS, UH, ON, AND I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO DRIVE OUT THERE AGAIN, BUT WITH THAT NUMBER OF LOTS AND THE INGRESS EGRESS OFF OF, OF 7 32, IS THAT GONNA BE ACCEPTABLE? WE'VE, WE'VE ADDRESSED, UM, HAVING ONLY LIKE TWO ENTRANCES AND DOING LIKE A COMMON ACCESS.

SO WE, WE ADDRESS THAT WAY.

AND, UH, WE DON'T, WE DON'T WANNA INVEST TOO MUCH TIME AND MONEY INTO THE LOTS, BUT SHE'S ABOUT 120, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE, MAYBE A LITTLE LESS, WE DON'T KNOW YET, BUT THAT'S THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

OUR SUBDIVISIONS, IT'S NOT GONNA BE ANY LOW QUALITY TENANTS.

COMMISSIONER, ANY QUESTIONS? I, I, I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO DRIVE TO SOME OF THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT YOU'VE DONE.

I KNOW YOU HAVE SOMEWHAT UP IN LA FARIA LARE.

THEY ALL, WHEN WE WERE DONE WITH THE SUBDIVISION, THEY ALL NINE, NINE SOLD AND THEY'RE ALL BUILT.

AND THAT WAS IN LA FARIA.

SO WE DEVELOPED AROUND 500 LOTS IN LA FARIA.

AND WE'VE SOLD OUT OF ALL OF OURS, SOLD.

SOLD OR RENTAL THAT'S SOLD AND BUILT IN, IN, IN RENT.

BECAUSE I JUST STILL, I JUST STILL HAVE A CONCERN THAT, YOU KNOW, WE BRING UP THE WORD STANDARDS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO UPGRADE OURSELF TO WHERE WE'VE BEEN.

UM, 'CAUSE WE ARE IN SITUATIONS WHERE IF WE DON'T HAVE REVENUE, WE CAN'T FIX OUR STREETS, WE CAN'T FIX OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND WHEN WE GET INTO THESE, UM, DUPLEXES, IT'S NOT OUR ROOFTOPS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

AT LEAST NOT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR THE UPGRADE FOR THIS CITY.

UM, I KNOW YOU HAD SPOKE TO A PLANNING ZONING BOARD MEMBER THERE ABOUT POSSIBLY MEETING SOMEWHERE HALFWAY DOING SOME HOMES AND THEN DOING SOME DUPLEXES TOWARDS THE BACK END.

UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER DOING? UH, WE, WE WOULD CONSIDERED IT.

I KNOW A, A FEW YEARS BACK, MAYBE TWO YEARS BACK, THEY TRIED TO DO A, UH, LIKE A TRUCK STOP TYPE OF DEAL WHERE THEY WOULD FIX, I IT WAS LIKE A HOLDING FACILITY FOR THEIR TRUCKS.

KIND LIKE CODY, SIR.

I, I'M NOT PERCENT SURE, BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY HAD SAID.

UH, IF YOU LOOK UP THE, THE INTERSECTION, THERE'S A GOOD ARTICLE ON IT.

THEY WERE GONNA COME IN ON A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND IT GOT APPROVED, BUT IT NEVER REALLY MATRICULATED.

AND WHEN THERE'S A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP, THEY COMING BACK AND THEY'RE COMING BACK WANTING TO DO A LOT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH IS HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY ACROSS 7 32, BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

I REMEMBER, UM, ASKING BECAUSE OF THE ZONING, THE ZONING DOESN'T, UM, IT'S ALL AGRICULTURAL.

AND I SAID, HOW ARE WE GOING FOR FINAL PLAT AND PRELIMINARY IF I DON'T HAVE THE ZONING YET? WELL, THEY HAD THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

JUST 'CAUSE IT'S AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTS.

THEY HAD THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

SO THIS IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PLAT.

WE JUST ALSO YES, CORRECT.

MM-HMM, ACROSS THE STREET.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND, AND THEY LEFT A, THEY LEFT A BLOCK ON THE END, LIKE YOU SAID, FOR COMMERCIAL.

AND THIS WOULD BE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THAT.

SO YES, IT BEGINS TO SHAPE THE AREA AT THIS POINT.

YES, IT DOES.

NOW, THE, THE CONSENSUS FROM THE PREVIOUS COMMISSIONS IN THIS COMMISSION FOR ADMINISTRATION WAS THAT THIS, THAT SIDE OF 7 32 IS GONNA BE FOR INDUSTRIAL USE.

[00:40:02]

OR FROM THE HEAVILY POPULATED AREAS.

I THINK ALSO WITH THE, UH, THE ENTRANCE, THE ENTRANCE WAS GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT WE WERE LOOKING INTO THAT, UH, THAT JOST YO STREET.

UH, THE OTHER 7 32 IS MORE TOWARDS THE, UH, PENNSYLVANIA.

YOU'RE STILL ABOUT, UM, MAYBE ABOUT A MILE OUT OR THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE ON IT.

SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL TOO FAR AWAY.

IT HAD SHOWN US, UH, SOME RENDITION RENDITIONS OF THE MODELS OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.

AND IT WAS LIKE A STUCCO CONCRETE, UH, BORDER FENCING WITH LIKE WROUGHT IRON.

THAT WAS GONNA BE A HUGE INVESTMENT FOR THEM.

UH, SO WHEN THEY CAME DOWN TO, UH, DRAINING THE LIFT STATION AND THEN PROPERLY DISINFECTING AND CLEANING IT OUT, WE WERE STILL GETTING WATER IN THE LIFT STATION.

UM, ONCE THEY EXPOSED, UH, CERTAIN AREAS, WE SAW THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER FORCE MAIN THAT WOULD TIE INTO OUR LIFT STATION.

UM, SOME VALVES WERE INSTALLED PRIOR THAT, UH, THERE WERE ABOUT APPROXIMATELY TWO FEET OVER UNDERGROUND, SO WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE COULD RE DIVERT THAT FORCE MAINE, AWAY FROM OUR LIFT STATION AND THEN HAVE IT JUST SENT OFF TO OUR, OUR MAIN, UH, CITY SHOP ONE.

UM, ONCE THEY, UH, RECONFIGURED THAT, SO KIND OF DISASSOCIATE THAT, UH, THAT LIFT OR THAT, THAT FORCE MAIN THAT, UH, THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT, UH, REDIRECTING IT, TYING IT INTO THE EXISTING FORCE MAIN, THAT'S WHERE THIS CHANGE ORDER CAME INTO, INTO EFFECT.

DO YOU FORESEE ANY OTHER CHANGE ORDERS BEFORE THE COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT? AS OF NOW, NO.

THAT WAS, UH, THE MAIN UNKNOWNS CONSIDERING, UH, YOU CAN'T FORESEE THESE THINGS.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA ALWAYS ASK ANYWAY.

YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR GIS SYSTEM IS VERY, IT'S, IT WAS NON-EXISTENT BEFORE THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION AND NOW IT'S, IT'S COMING TO LIFE.

AND IF YOU GO ONTO THE CITY SITE AND YOU CAN START ACTUALLY SEEING ALL OF THESE OBJECTS LIKE MANHOLES AND LIFT STATIONS, THAT, THAT'S GOOD TO SEE.

BEFORE IT WAS JUST LIKE, DO YOU SEE THAT MAP? THAT'S WHERE THE MANHOLE, I THINK IT IS AND THAT'S NOT GOOD.

WE NEED A, AND IT WAS 10 FEET AND THAT'S ON A DAILY.

THAT DOESN'T HELP THESE GUYS.

AND THEN THAT DOESN'T HELP US FOR GRANTS EITHER.

WE HAVE OUR STAFF, UH, ON A DAILY BASIS, UH, YOU KNOW, MAPPING VALVES, MANHOLES, UH, STORM.

I KNOW JOANNA HAD A COUPLE OF, UH, HER STAFF MEMBERS ALSO DOING, UH, STORM INLETS AND, AND THINGS OF THOSE NATURE THAT WE COULD USE, UH, FOR FUTURE REFERENCES ON ANY OTHER DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WE'D BE LOOKING INTO.

I'D JUST STILL LIKE TO BE PREPARED.

I DON'T LIKE TO CHANGE ORDERS, BUT THAT'S WHY THEY'RE WRITTEN INTO THE CONTRACT, RIGHT? RIGHT.

IT'S NOT GOING ABOVE THE, LIKE PIN THE TAIL, THE CONTINGENCY.

NO, I THINK THE TOTAL PRICE WAS 1.2.

SO 32 IS WELL BELOW THE, THE 25%.

VERY GOOD.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOTION? SECOND.

I GOT A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO GOVAN.

SECOND BY, UH, COMMISSIONER GUTMAN.

ITEM 26, CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO PROVE PAYMENT NUMBER THREE TO FERGUSON SERVICE SYSTEMS, INC.

WHAT BRANCH OF MILITARY ARE YOU IN? EXCUSE ME? WHAT BRANCH OF MILITARY WERE YOU IN? UH, THE NAVY.

NAVY, SUBMARINER.

THERE YOU GO.

[26. Consideration and possible action to approve Payment Number 3 to Ferguson Service Systems, Inc., as recommended by Hanson Professional Services, Inc., pertaining to the Stenger Surge Tank Lift Station Improvements in the amount of $231,655.88.]

PERTAINING TO THE STINGER SURGE TANK LIFT STATION IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $231,655 AND 88 CENTS.

MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEMP.

UH, THIS WAS, UH, AN ITEM THAT WAS TABLED IN A PREVIOUS MEETING.

UM, UH, I BELIEVE, UH, COMMISSIONER GALVAN, YOU HAD, UH, QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THE BONDS AND INSURANCE PAYMENT.

UM, WE DO HAVE THE, THE ENGINEERS, UH, FROM HANSON, IF YOU WOULD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS WHY THEY PLACED THAT LINE ITEM IN THAT, UH, FOR, FOR THIS PROJECT.

ANYBODY? THAT'S WHAT I TOLD YOU.

I LIKE YOU, BUT I HATE YOU 'CAUSE YOU'RE GETTING THINGS DONE, BUT IT'S COSTING.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

COMMISSIONERS.

UH, MY NAME'S PAULINA VEGA.

I AM PROJECT MANAGER FOR HAN AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, UH, AND ENGINEER FOR THE PROJECT, UH, FOR THE STINGER LIFT STATION.

UH, THE REASON WHY THE BONDS AND INSURANCE WERE LISTED AS AN LINE ITEM IS BECAUSE IT'S A VERY LARGE PROJECT, UH, IN ANY PROJECT, UH, THESE ARE ITEMS THAT THE CONTRACTOR'S GONNA PASS ON THE COST SOMEWHERE.

UH, WHETHER IT'S HIDDEN IN LINE ITEMS FIRST FOR BIGGER PROJECTS, WE LIKE TO SEE THEM SPEC SPECIFICALLY LINED OUT SO THAT WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE BEING, UH, PAID FOR.

I MEAN, OF COURSE WE ALSO CHECK IN THEIR DOCUMENTS, BUT IT'S A LINE ITEM SO THAT THEY MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THEM.

SO THESE ARE FOR PERFORM PERFORMANCE BONDS, PAYMENT BONDS, UH, COMMERCIAL, UH, LIABILITY, UH, GENERAL LIABILITY, AUTOMOBILE, UH, ACCIDENTS, JUST ANYTHING THAT CAN, UH, COVER THE PROJECT AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE.

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS PAYING FOR.

FRED DO, DOES, DOES OUR TML INSURANCE.

UM,

[01:05:02]

AND, AND HANSON PROBABLY HAS THEIR OWN LIABILITY INSURANCE, AND I'M SURE WHOEVER THEY'RE SUBCONTRACTING HAS THEIR OWN CORNET CONSTRUCTION HAS THEIR OWN LIABILITY INSURANCE.

WHY, WHY DO WE HAVE TO, I KNOW THE SIZE OF THE PROJECT IS LARGE, BUT WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP ADDING ALL THESE BONDS AND WHY DOES IT COME ONTO THE CITY'S COST? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH ANIBAL.

UM, I'VE NEVER REALLY SEEN IT DONE THAT WAY.

UM, IT'S JUST, UH, I NEED TO, I NEED TO DIG INTO IT A LITTLE BIT WITH A PROJECT.

IF, UH, THESE ARE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND THEY'RE LISTED IN THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, SO, UH, YOU ARE, UH, YOU'RE REQUIRING THE CONTRACTOR TO CARRY ALL THIS INSURANCE, BUT WE'RE PAYING IT FOR IT.

THE COST GETS PASSED ON TO, UH, TO THE CLIENT, OF COURSE, JUST LIKE AS IF THEY'RE PAYING, THEY'RE PAYING FOR ALL THE MATERIALS AND, UH, LABOR, YOU KNOW? RIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU COVERED UP? WHAT DOES IT COVER US UP TO THE BOND? UM, I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK THE CONTRACT AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT THOSE LIMITS ARE.

UH, BUT YOU KNOW, EVERY, ALL EVERYTHING THAT I MENTIONED IS WHAT'S LISTED AND REQUIRED THROUGH THE CONST CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AGREEMENT.

WE TYPICALLY REQUIRE FOR ANYBODY TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY TO HAVE A MILLION DOLLAR BOND LIABILITY BOND OR INSURANCE.

THEY'RE, IT'S PROJECT DEPENDENT, BUT I, I DO HAVE A COMMENT ON THAT.

MAYOR, PROTO MAYOR, UM, I DO, NOW I RECALL THIS, I APOLOGIZE.

USUALLY THESE ARE COSTS THAT ARE PART OF THE MOBILIZATION.

SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE WRITTEN INTO THE CONTRACT.

THEY WERE JUST LISTED AS A LINE ITEM SO WE COULD SEE IT.

PROBABLY WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED OR, OR A NOMENCLATURE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

UH, WHEN YOU EVER, WHEN YOU ALWAYS START A PROJECT, THERE'S ALWAYS A MOBILIZATION COST AND THAT'S USUALLY WHAT'S FIGURED INTO IT.

IN THIS CASE, I GUESS WE'RE PAYING FOR IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

IT'S JUST NAMED, IT'S JUST GOT DIFFERENT NOMENCLATURE IS CORRECT.

SO HANSON'S DONE A QUITE A BIT OF THE WORK HERE IN THE CITY FOR OUR LIFT STATIONS, SO WE APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU'VE DONE THIS FAR.

BUT TO MY THOUGHT PROCESS IS, WOULD, WOULDN'T YOU JUST HAVE ONE MOBILIZATION BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY HERE DOING ALL THESE PROJECTS, BUT YOU'RE HITTING US WITH MOBILIZATION EVERY TIME THE MOBILIZATION IS PER PROJECT AND, UH, HANSON IS THE ENGINEER.

WE'RE NOT THE CONTRACTOR.

SO, UH, YOU HAVE DIFFERENT CONTRACTS, BUT YOU'RE THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE ENGINEERING.

SO WE'RE PROVIDING, UH, SO WE'RE PROVIDING THE SERVICES, BUT THIS, WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR IS THE CONTRACTOR.

SO THIS IS THE MOBILIZATION FOR THE CONTRACTOR AND EACH PROJECT HAS A DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR.

SO, UH, THIS SPECIFIC ONE IS FOR FERGUSON, UH, FERGUSON SERVICES.

THE PAST ONE WAS FOR CORNET.

SO EACH ONE WOULD HAVE, UH, DIFFERENT MOBILIZATION.

AND THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SITES.

SO, UH, THEREFORE THERE'S A MOBILIZATION COST INCURRED PER PROJECT.

WELL THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE CONTRACT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DO I HAVE MOTION? DO I HAVE MOTION ON THIS? MOTION TO APPROVE? I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GOODMAN SECOND, UH, MAYOR.

YES, I COULD.

I'M SORRY, THIS WAS A TABLED ITEM.

SO WE NEED TO MOVE TO UNT FIRST AND THEN WE CAN TAKE THE VOTE.

IT WAS A TABLED ITEM.

THE PREVIOUS MEETING.

OKAY, SO APOLOGIZE.

IT WASN'T LISTED LIKE THAT, BUT, UH, AS HONEY ABOVE DID SAY, SO NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO UNT IT.

MOTION TO UNT THE ITEM.

UM, I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GOODMAN.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MORALE MORALES TO UNT.

THIS SECTION, UH, THIS ITEM IN THE PAST.

UH, ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.

SO NOW, NOW WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE CURRENT.

NOW YOU CAN TAKE A VOTE.

NOW MOTION.

I'LL SECOND IT.

I'LL SECOND THIS, UH, FOR, YOU KNOW, TO GET THE PAYMENT DONE.

UM, SO ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

ANY NAYS? I VERY HESITANT.
