THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED THE REZONING OF AN 8.2 ACRE PORTION OF A 19.96 ACRE PARCEL FROM SUBURBAN MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PROPERTY, IT'S CURRENTLY THE PLACE WHERE THE LUMBER MILL IS AT LUMBER FARM BUSINESSES THAT HE'S WANTING TO CUT OFF. PART OF THE ZONING IS SUR AND PART OF IT'S LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. HE'S WANTING TO CUT OFF PART OF IT TO KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT THE BUSINESS IS COMPLETELY WITHIN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, KEEP THE OTHER PART AS YOU ARE. KIND OF FIXES AND CLEANS UP THE PROPERTY A LITTLE BIT.

SO WHAT HE'S WANTING TO DO IS THAT THE RIGHT OF THE BUILDING, RIGHT OF THAT TWO, TWO, SEVEN IS CUT OFF THAT PORTION OF IT[00:15:05]
AND ADD IT TO THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BUSINESS IS COMPLETELY LOCATED IN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. KEEP THE OTHER HALF SUSUR. JUST KIND. OKAY, LET ME MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND. I GO OUT THERE QUITE A BIT. SO I KIND OF VERY, VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT. SO WHERE ARE THE TWO OLDER HOUSES WERE? I THINK THERE'S ONE HOUSE NOW. IF YOU WANT TO COME FORWARD, THAT'D BE FINE. YEAH, BUT HE WILL. THEY'LL BE EASY. YOU JUST TORE ONE OF THE HOUSES DOWN.THAT'S CORRECT. AND SO THAT AREA IS GOING TO WHAT CLASSIFICATION WOULD THAT BE.

THAT'S FINE. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO WE GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY. ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OR IN OPPOSITION TO THIS REZONING. SO I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE FLOOR.

THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED THE REZONING OF A 2.5 ACRE PARCEL FROM SUBURBAN MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL SUR TO LIMITED COMMERCIAL LLC. BEFORE THIS NEW UDO WENT INTO PLACE LAST YEAR, THIS PARCEL WAS SPLIT ZONED RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL. DURING THE REZONING PROCESS OF GETTING EVERYTHING KIND OF SET UP, IT WAS ZONED AS YOU ARE. WE'RE JUST LOOKING TO CHANGE IT BACK TO LC. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE DID NOT CHARGE THE APPLICANT FOR THIS APPLICATION. THIS WAS ADMINISTRATIVE. IT'S JUST CHANGING IT. IT'S CHANGING IT BACK TO WHAT THE USE HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. ANY QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT. IF NOT, AGAIN, THIS IS PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS REZONING, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORWARD. ALRIGHT. HEARING NONE, IF THERE'S ANYONE NOT TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORWARD. ALRIGHT. HEARING NONE, THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR THE REZONING OF 3097 WEST POINT ROAD. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. MR. CHAIRMAN. THERE WASN'T ANY CONDITIONS SCROLLING THROUGH IT. ONE. ANY CONDITIONS PUT ON THIS, OKAY? YES, SIR. EXCUSE ME, MR. CHAIRMAN. I MOVE TO APPROVE. OKAY. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES. NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS A HOME OCCUPATION FOR A MOBILE MECHANIC AND TIRE SELLING BUSINESS LOCATED AT 565 SEVILLE ROAD. AS YOU ALL KNOW WITH OUR UDO THAT IF A HOME OCCUPATION IS NOT EXPLICITLY LISTED AS A USE INSIDE OF OUR UDO, IT HAS TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR APPROVAL. THIS HOME OCCUPATION, WITH IT BEING A MOBILE, MOBILE MECHANIC AND TIRE REPAIR BUSINESS WAS NOT LISTED. THEREFORE, IT COMES BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR APPROVAL. THE PARCEL IN QUESTION IS 56565 SEVILLE ROAD. IT'S 9898.9 ACRE PARCEL AND IS CURRENTLY ZONED SUR. I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT. THE APPLICANT IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL. ALSO NOW THE WHAT IS IT, 98.9 ACRES? YES SIR. THAT'S CORRECT.
[00:20:06]
WELL HOW EXACTLY WHAT IS IS THE ACREAGE ALL GOING TO BE HOME OCCUPATIONAL OR. I'M TRYING I'M JUST GETTING THIS AND I'M JUST TRYING TO READ IT TO SEE WHAT THE THE THE, THE, THE ACREAGE OF THE PARCEL IS JUST SIMPLY IN THERE FOR INFORMATION. OKAY. THE INDIVIDUAL IS WANTING TO USE AND HE CAN COME UP AND SPEAK TO MORE CLEARLY ON IT. BUT HE, HE'S WANTING TO USE IT TO STORE HIS TRUCK AND HIS TRAILER FOR HIS MOBILE TIRE REPAIR BUSINESS. AND AS WELL, HE'S WANTING TO USE A 400 SQUARE FOOT SHED IN ORDER TO STORE MATERIAL ON TIRES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE IN ORDER TO CONDUCT HIS BUSINESS. HE HAS STATED THAT NO CUSTOMER IS GOING TO BE OUT IN THE YARD, AS YOU MIGHT SAY. I'LL BRING HIM UP HERE TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU. IF YOU'LL GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. HOW YOU DOING? I'M JESSE SWAN.MY ADDRESS IS 565 SEVILLE ROAD. I'M THE OWNER OF KEEP ROLLING TIRE AND AUTO. IT'S A MOBILE TIRE SERVICE IS WHAT I MAINLY BE FOCUSING ON, BUT MINOR MECHANICS TOO, HERE AND THERE.
BASICALLY, THE PROPERTY WOULD JUST BE THE HOME BASE OF WHERE I PARKED MY TRUCK AND MY TRAILER. ALL THE ALL THE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT ARE INSIDE THE 16 FOOT ENCLOSED TRAILER. AND THEN WE HAVE A SMALL NINE BY TEN BUILDING. SO REALLY 90 SQUARE FOOT WOULD BE WHAT I WAS USING OF, OF THE SHOP. AND, AND THAT'S WHERE I STORE MY TIRES. AND I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL. AND HE SEEMED TO THINK IT SHOULDN'T BE VERY HARD TO GET THAT IN, IN CODE FOR THAT. SO THE BUILDING WOULD ACTUALLY BE USED TO STORE YOUR EXCESS TIRES THAT YOU, YOU WILL BE GOING OUT TO, TO A SITE TO CHANGE TIRES ON AT THAT LOCATION, RIGHT? THAT'LL BE MORE FOR ROADSIDE STUFF. SO TO HAVE QUICK, RIGHT. SO MR. SWAN, YOU GOING TO BE THE ONLY YES PERSON WORKING AT THIS LOCATION? YES, SIR. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EMPLOYEES? NO, SIR. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET YOUR SUPPLIES? DELIVERIES? I GOT A COMPANY OUT OF CARROLLTON. THEY RUN A BOX STYLE TRUCK SIMILAR TO THE AMAZON TRUCK, AND THEY THEY'LL DELIVER TO THE HOUSE. AND I EXPECT, LIKE I SAID, 2 TO 3 DELIVERIES A WEEK. HAVE YOU GOT ANY CALLS ON THIS? SINCE THE SIGNS WENT UP, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROXIMATELY 15 DAYS BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING MEETING, WE HAVE RECEIVED 12 PHONE CALLS. AND THOSE ARE JUST GENERAL QUESTIONS. AND ONE PHONE CALL WITH OPPOSITION. I HAD RECEIVED SOME MYSELF WITH THE CONCERNS OF WHAT MIGHT END UP DOWN THE ROAD. AND AND I'D LIKE TO REITERATE, THERE WOULD BE NO CUSTOMERS COMING TO THE HOUSE. THE ONLY THING COMING TO THE HOUSE WOULD BE DELIVERIES OF TIRES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, JAMES? YOU SEE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCKS BOX TRUCK ON THAT ROAD? I THINK FOR A SINGLE AXLE BOX TRUCK TO GET IN AND OUT, I, I WOULDN'T I WOULDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH CIVIL ROAD.
CIVIL ROAD IS A IS ONE OF OUR IT'S ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS LIKE A SUBDIVISION PART OF SHOAL CREEK AND CIVIL ACRES, IT IT REALLY IS AN OLD ROAD THAT THE SUBDIVISION SORT OF DEVELOPED AROUND IT. AND SO IT'S, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IT'S BEEN OVERLAID. AND I'M NOT REAL CONCERNED ABOUT A, YOU KNOW, A DELIVERY TRUCK A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK CAUSING ANY, ANY SIGNIFICANT WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ROAD. IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT AN INDUSTRIAL ROAD.
IT'S NOT AN INDUSTRIAL PARK. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT APPARENTLY THIS APPLICANT IS REQUESTING EITHER FOR A COUPLE OF DELIVERIES A WEEK WITH A BOX TRUCK. I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE ANY CONCERN ABOUT CIVIL ROAD. I THINK MY WIFE GETS MORE THAN THAT AT MY HOUSE FROM AMAZON AND. AND SHE. THAT'S WITHOUT A BUSINESS. YOU LIVE THERE. ARE YOU RENTING OR. NO, SIR. IT'S MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE. IT'S UNDER THE TRUST OF MY UNCLE. BUT I JUST LIVED THERE YESTERDAY. AND. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK, JUST TO MAKE SURE I'M RIGHT. JUST TRYING TO GET BACK A LITTLE PIECE OF ADVICE TO A GOOD ENTREPRENEUR AND BUSINESSMAN.
IF HE GOES BEYOND ANY OF THESE SERVICES HERE, THE MOBILE TIRE SERVICE OR STORING THE TIRES, THEN HE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH AND APPLY FOR A DIFFERENT HOME OCCUPATION, SAY
[00:25:01]
ONE, EXPANDING THE HOME MECHANICS AND I MEAN REPAIR, CAR REPAIR, LAWNMOWER REPAIR, BOAT REPAIR, STUFF LIKE THAT. HE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK TO US TO DO A NEW HOME OCCUPATION.RIGHT? RIGHT. THE THE ITEMS IN THIS APPLICATION IS WHAT HE'S ABLE TO DO. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPAND, HE'D HAVE TO COME BACK. WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET VERY SUCCESSFUL. THAT'S GOOD.
SO SO IN THIS APPLICATION, THAT'S WHAT'S WHAT IS STATED IN THIS APPLICATION. OKAY, SO WE'RE JUST GETTING THIS TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME. SO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT.
SO ANY OTHER QUESTION. I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORTH. ALRIGHT.
HEARING NONE, IF THERE'S ANYBODY LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORWARD. ALRIGHT. HEARING NONE. THIS IS THE FIRST READING. IT IS VOTE ELIGIBLE. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS. I GOT SOME CONCERNS THAT WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED THAT I'M GONNA LOOK A LITTLE FURTHER INTO. AND COMMISSIONER JIMMY.
OKAY. HE'S NOT HERE TONIGHT. HE HAD SOME I HAD TALKED TO HIM ABOUT ALSO. SO I WOULD LIKE TO TABLE IT. ALRIGHT, SO I HAVE A MOTION TO, TO TABLE THIS. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. OKAY.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. ALRIGHT, SO BY TABLING THAT JUST MEANS WE'LL TAKE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO REVIEW THE APPLICATION AND BRING IT BACK AT A LATER DATE, TWO WEEKS, TWO WEEKS, TWO WEEKS. OKAY. TWO WEEKS. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS A FEW TEXT AMENDMENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR A RECOMMENDATION ON HOW THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED WITH VOTING ON THESE, WHETHER THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO IT ALL AT ONE TIME OR ONE BY ONE. WHY DON'T YOU DO IT ONE BY ONE BY ONE? THEY DO IT ONE BY ONE. FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS IS THE CENTRALIZED MAIL DELIVERY FACILITIES. RECENTLY, WE RAN INTO SOME ISSUES WITH THE USPS CHANGING UP THEIR REQUIREMENTS. AS FAR AS THEIR MAILBOXES GO, THEY'RE NOW REQUIRING A KIOSK IN. THOSE KIOSKS ARE JUST SIMPLY THE BIG BOXES WITH A BUNCH OF LITTLE SLOTS IN THEM TO DELIVER MAIL. WITH THAT, WE HAD TO CREATE A NEW ORDERING ORDINANCE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE KIOSK IS PLACED CORRECTLY. IT'S NOT WITHIN COUNTY RIGHT OF WAY. THE COUNTY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS WITH IT. SO ESSENTIALLY, THIS ORDINANCE WAS CREATED. IT GIVES THE ABILITY FOR THE DEVELOPER TO COME UP WITH A WAY IN ORDER FOR BY CREATING AN HOA, BY CREATING SOME TYPE OF EASEMENT, IN ORDER TO PUT A MAIL KIOSK IN A SUBDIVISION, IN ORDER FOR INDIVIDUALS TO GET THEIR MAIL TAKES ALL LIABILITY OFF THE COUNTY, TAKES IT OUT OF OUR RIGHT OF WAY, AND IT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR AN APPLICATION FOR A PLAT OR I SHOULD SAY FINAL PLAT TO GET ACCEPTED UNTIL THIS MAIL KIOSK IS ACCEPTED BY THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SO WAS THAT IS THAT JUST GOING TO BE LOOKED AT LIKE WHEN THE WHEN THE WHEN IT'S FIRST SHOWN TO US AND ALL AND OR WHEN IT COMES TO THE ZONING BOARD AND ALL IS IT IS IT GOING TO HAVE LIKE AN ACRE OR SOMETHING SPECIFIED FOR THAT? IS THAT SO THE WAY, THE WAY THAT WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING IT IS IT'LL DURING OUR INFORMAL MEETING, WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL COMES TO US, WE'LL BASICALLY STATE THAT, HEY, IN ORDER TO GET THIS APPROVED, THE FINAL PROCESS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A MAIL KIOSK AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME WAY TO TAKE CARE OF IT. THE COUNTY IS NOT GOING TO BE LIABLE FOR TAKING CARE OF YOUR MAIL KIOSK FOR INDIVIDUALS TO GET THEIR MAIL. IT'LL BE PRESENTED ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, AND THEY'LL HAVE TO HAVE IT IN PLACE AND OR AT LEAST MARK IT OFF TO WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE FINAL PLAT.
THAT'LL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE SAME LOT SIZE AS THE ZONING BEING THAT IT CAN BE AN EASEMENT AS WELL. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME LOT SIZE IF YOU SPLIT OFF A PARCEL, IF IT'S AGR, YOU SPLIT OFF A TWO ACRE PARCEL, IT'S NOT FEASIBLE FOR A KIOSK TO GO ON A, ON A TWO ACRE PARCEL. I GUESS WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT SAFETY, THE WAY IT GOES THROUGH, WILL IT ENTER LIKE HAVE TWO AN EXIT IN IT OR WILL IT JUST CIRCLE AROUND? AND SO THAT WOULD ALL DEPEND ON HOW
[00:30:02]
THE SUBDIVISION IS GOING TO BE LAID OUT. I MEAN, YOU SOME, SOME SUBDIVISIONS, FOR INSTANCE, THE CASH DRIVE UP THERE, BRAWLEY ROAD SUBDIVISION, THEY HAVE THEIRS ON, ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL. BUT IT'S KIND OF WIDENED THE ROAD A LITTLE BIT TO WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL CAN PULL OFF. SO IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS ON THE LAYOUT OF THE ROAD SAFETY WISE.STAFF WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND MAKE SURE THAT CITIZENS ARE SAFE WHILE THEY'RE TRYING TO GRAB THEIR MAIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, THIS IS PUBLIC HEARING. SO IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORTH. ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT. YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORWARD. OKAY. IF NOT, THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS TEXT AMENDMENT. THIS WOULD BE A. C, D AS IN BOY, RIGHT? YES. EACH ONE. SPLIT THESE UP NOW. WELL, I GUESS I'M, I NEED CLARIFICATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE TWO ORDINANCES IN THEIR TEXT AMENDMENT ORDINANCES. AND THE FIRST ONE IS TEXT AMENDMENT FOR APPENDICES B, C AND D, AND THEN TEXT AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE FOR FLOODS AND APPENDIX D DEFINITIONS. SO THIS ONE WOULD BE VOTE TO APPROVE APPENDIX B, SECTION 5.8 CENTRALIZED MAIL DELIVERY FACILITIES. OKAY. THE SPECIFIC CASE WE'LL WE'LL NEED FOR THEM TO VOTE BY HAND. WOULD THAT BE THE CASE, VALERIE. WELL, THE ORDINANCE THAT THAT THEY GAVE IS ALL ONE ORDINANCE. IT'S IT'S NOT THREE DIFFERENT ONES THAT HOW THEY HAVE IT DIVIDED IS TEXT AMENDMENT TO A TO APPENDICES B, C, AND D. THAT'S ONE ORDINANCE. AND THE ORDINANCE IS TEXT AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE FOR FLOODS AND APPENDIX. APPENDIX D DEFINITIONS. THAT'S WHAT WE DON'T HAVE ON OUR ON OUR AGENDA. WE WE ONLY SHOW APPENDIX D, C AND D, RIGHT. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE. YEAH. RIGHT. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY PRESENTED. IT WAS JUST AS ONE ARTICLE THERE. AND SO YEAH, I GUESS THAT WAS THE QUESTION I ASKED EARLIER THAT. YOU KNOW, THEY PUT IT AS ONE. AND HE SAID, YOU WANT TO DIVIDE IT IN TWO. SO WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU WANTED TO VOTE SEPARATELY. SO WHAT YOU'LL BE VOTING ON WOULD BE THE FIRST ORDINANCE, WHICH WOULD BE TEXT AMENDMENT TO APPENDICES B, C, AND D. AND THEN. ORDINANCE APPROVAL OF TEXT, AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE FOR FLOODS IN APPENDIX D. AND I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE TO DIVIDE THEM UP INTO DIFFERENT ORDINANCES. IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO B, C, AND D. SO WE WE COULD PROBABLY DO THIS A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESS, IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO GO THROUGH WHAT IS ON BECAUSE WE HAVE A FIVE A AND A FIVE B IN FRONT OF STAFF. THAT MAY NOT BE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS, BUT FIVE A IS GOING TO TOUCH ON WHAT MISS VALERIE IS SAYING, SPECIFIC ONES, AND THEN FIVE B WILL TOUCH ON SPECIFIC ONES. SO IF YOU WANT TO HOLD YOUR VOTE TO THE END OF FIVE A, WE CAN EITHER APPROVE OR APPROVE WITH AMENDMENT. IF YOU AREN'T APPROVING CERTAIN ONES. AND WE CAN CLARIFY ONCE WE GET TO THE END OF THOSE, IF THAT WILL BE HELPFUL, BECAUSE I THINK IT PROBABLY WILL. IT CLEARS APPROVE APPENDICES B, C AND D ONE VOTE. YES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HOLD UNTIL WE TALK ABOUT ALL OF THEM BEFORE WE MAKE THAT VOTE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YEAH. PROCEED FORWARD. ALL RIGHT. THE SECOND ONE FOR FOR A IS THE TABLE OF PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED USES AND ACCESSORY USES CHART. AND THIS WAS JUST SIMPLY A CLEANUP FROM WHEN WE VOTED IN THE NEW WE CAME UP ON A SITUATION. OF COURSE, YOU DON'T REALIZE SOMETHING'S WRONG UNTIL YOU COME UPON THE SITUATION THAT REQUIRES TO FIX IT. SO THIS HAS TO DO WITH KENNELS AS A HOBBY, USE INSIDE OF A BASICALLY A HOME OCCUPATION. WE JUST REMOVED THE WORD HOBBY AND THEN CHANGED IT. IF YOU LOOK AT LETTER E ON PAGE PACKET PAGE 66. JAMES. SO FOR THIS PARTICULAR HOME OCCUPATION, FOR THIS PARTICULAR ACCESSORY USE, WE TOOK OUT THE RECOMMENDATION BY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS AS WELL AS THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. AND THAT'S JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE OF WHAT I STATED BEFORE WITH THE HOME OCCUPATION. IT'S LISTED AS IN OUR TABLE AS A USE.
THEREFORE, IT WOULD NEED TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD, OR IF IT WASN'T LISTED, THEN IT WOULD HAVE TO. AND PLEASE KEEP IN MIND TOO, THAT THIS THIS CHANGE, IT DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING FROM SUBSECTION EIGHT. THEY STILL HAVE TO MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS FROM SUBSECTION EIGHT. WHICH IS JUST ABOVE THAT. JAMES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS WHICH WILL NOW BE ON
[00:35:16]
ANY OF THOSE THREE ITEMS THERE? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT. HEARING NONE, WE'LL GO BACK TO THE PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO ANY OF THESE THREE, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORTH AT THIS TIME. HEARING NONE. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. ALRIGHT. HEARING NONE AND I WOULD SEEK APPROVAL OF THE TEXT AMENDMENT THAT APPLIES TO APPENDICES B, C, AND D. I HAVE A MOTION. THIS WOULD BE JUST. WELL, I THINK WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THIS ONE. IS THAT CORRECT? AUSTIN SECTION. WE'RE STARTING NEXT WITH THE MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS.YEAH, IT WAS KIND OF BUNDLED ALL TOGETHER FOR YOU GUYS, WHICH IS SORT OF. IF YOU WANT TO. YEAH. IF YOU WANT TO LET AUSTIN TELL YOU, ONCE WE'VE HIT THE BOTTOM, THEN WE'LL TAKE THE MOTION. I THINK THAT MIGHT GET US THERE. ALL RIGHT. SO THE THE NEXT ONE IS TO PROCEDURES FOR MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS. AND THIS IS SIMPLY A PROCEDURAL CHANGE IN PROCESS. SO CURRENTLY OUR OUR PROCESS IN ORDER TO APPROVE A MAJOR SUBDIVISION IS THE APPLICANT COMES FORWARD FOR AN INFORMAL MEETING, MAKE SURE THEY MEET OUR POINT SYSTEM IN ORDER TO GET A MAJOR SUBDIVISION APPROVED. AFTER THAT HAPPENS, THEY THEN GO THROUGH THE PRELIMINARY PRELIMINARY PLAT PROCESS WHERE IT COMES BEFORE A BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS IN ORDER AS SORT OF LIKE AN FYI, JUST LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING UP. GOES TO BOARD OF ZONING FOR FINAL APPROVAL ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT. AFTER THE PRELIMINARY PLAT IS APPROVED, THEN IT THEY BUILD THE ROADS. AND COME BEFORE YOU GUYS IN ORDER TO. OR JUST COME BEFORE YOU GUYS IN ORDER TO GET A FINAL PLAT APPROVED. AND THAT'S WHERE WE GET BONDS FOR THE ROADS AND JAMES AND EVERYBODY ELSE GOES THROUGH THEIR PROCESS HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE THEY GOT EVERYTHING IN ORDER IN ORDER TO START BUILDING HOUSES. THE NEW PROCESS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING WOULD STILL MAKE THEM GO TO THE INFORMAL PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THEY MEET ALL THEIR POINTS. IT WOULD GO TO BOARD OF ZONING FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT, FOR RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS WOULD THEN APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.
THEY WOULD THEN BUILD THEIR ROADS, AND THEN STAFF WOULD HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ROADS WERE BUILT CORRECTLY. THE BONDS ARE SIGNED IN PLACE. HEALTH DEPARTMENTS CORRECT. THE OTHER REQUIREMENT THAT WAS PLACED INTO THIS MAJOR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE WAS A SIGNAGE REQUIREMENT, JUST LIKE WITH VARIANCES, JUST LIKE WITH REZONINGS, WE PLACED A SIGN AT THE PARCEL. DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS, DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE SIGN. WITH THIS ONE, IT WOULD BE ONE OF THE LARGER SIGNS BASICALLY PLACED BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING MEETING 15 DAYS AT LEAST PRIOR, BUT NO MORE THAN 45 DAYS WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO HAVE THE PARCEL NUMBER ON THEIR NUMBER OF LOTS. WHO'S BUILDING IT, AND THEN THE MEETING DATES AND TIMES. AUSTIN. YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE PRELIMINARY PLAT TO START WITH, CORRECT? CORRECT. RIGHT. SO THEN THE PRELIMINARY PLAT COMES BEFORE THE BOARD TO LOOK AT THE PRELIMINARY PLAT ALSO. CORRECT. SO THE INFORMAL PROCESS MARY PLAT STAFF LOOKS AT IT. MAKE SURE IT MEETS MEETS ALL OF OUR POINT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. OKAY. THEN IT GOES BACK TO THE BUILDING AND ZONING FOR THE FOR LOOKING AT THE ROADS. SO THAT THAT'S ALL LOOKED AT DURING THE, DURING THE, DURING THE WHOLE SYSTEM. OKAY. THE WHOLE THING DURING THE INFORMAL PROCESS. SO THEY DO THEY HAVE TO BUILD THEIR ROADS BEFORE THEY START BUILDING THE HOUSES. OR IS IT JUST LIKE WHAT IS BEING THEY GO IN THERE AND, AND THEY GOT TO PLAY IT DOWN AND THEN THEY PUT THE ROAD IN. IS THAT CORRECT? PRELIMINARY PLAT GETS APPROVED. YES. THEN THEY START BUILDING THE ROADS. OKAY, OKAY. YOU CAN'T START BUILDING HOUSES UNTIL THE. THAT'S RIGHT. TILL THE ROADS ARE COMPLETED. TO THE TO THE ROADS APPROVED. APPROVED BY THE STAFF. CORRECT. IN THIS IN THIS NEW PROCESS, THE THE FINAL PLAT, WHICH WOULD BE THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE ROADS, THE BONDS. THAT'S ALL ADMINISTRATIVE IN THIS THE WAY THIS ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN. WELL, JAMES, WE'VE ALWAYS GONE BY GDOT STANDARDS. IS THAT CORRECT? ON THE ROADS THAT ARE BEING PUT IN. YES. G DOT STANDARDS PROVIDE A BASIS FOR OUR STANDARDS. RIGHT. OKAY. AND SO THAT DOES THAT HAVE TO BE PUT INTO THE NEW AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE DOING HERE OR THE. OR DOES IT NOT? I THINK THAT PORTION OF THE ORDINANCE IS NOT CHANGING. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

USUALLY WITH THIS IT COMES WITH AN UPDATE ON SOME OF OUR FIRMS. AND I THINK OUR LAST FIRM WAS IN 2009, THE LAST ONE THAT I HAVE WHERE THEY REDO ALL THE FLOOD MAPS. USUALLY WHEN THEY COME OUT WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS FROM MY RESEARCH, THEY ALSO UPDATE THE FLOOD MAPS AS WELL, WHICH IS WHY THESE CHANGES ARE PUT INTO PLACE. I THINK THAT'S RIGHT, JAMES, BECAUSE OF THE FLOODS THAT WE HAD AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME. WELL, THEY'VE GONE TO DIGITAL FIRMS NOW, AND SO THE FIRMS THAT WE HAVE NOW ARE, ARE THE ARE THE DIGITAL FIRMS THAT YOU CAN SEE ON Q PUBLIC A REPRESENTATION OF THEM. AND THEN YOU CAN IF YOU IF YOU WANT TO DIG IN DEEPER, YOU CAN USE FEMA'S WEBSITE TO SEE THE CURRENT FIRMS. THAT'S THE FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAPS. SO BASICALLY, WE'RE APPROVING THE CHANGE OF.
