Okay, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. If you would please silence your cell phones or other devices at this time. I'm calling this meeting order at 6 30 p.m. February 5th, 2026 for the meeting of the planning and zoning commission, the city of Carrollton. This commission consists of nine members, seven who are present tonight with Commissioner Kramer and Commissioner Herman being absent.

In the case of advisory items, the commission's recommendation for denial will be considered by the city council if the applicant makes a written request in accordance with city ordinance. The commission conducts its business in accordance with the post agenda, copies which are in the lobby outside these chambers. In accordance with the state open meetings act, the planning and zoning commission is restricted from discussing or taking action on items not listed on the agenda tonight. Approval of a subdivision plat or replat is required by state law if the plat meets all applicable provisions of state law and the city of Carrollton's ordinances. A plat is deemed approved by operation of law if no action to approve or deny a plaque by the planning commission is taken within 30 days after a plat meeting. All requirements is filed. The public may comment on all items listed on the agenda tonight for planning and zoning commission consideration. If you wish to comment on any agenda item, please complete an appearance card located table at the entrance to city council chambers.

When everyone has had the opportunity to speak, the applicant will be given an opportunity to make a brief closing comment. At that time, there will be no further opportunities for public testimony on that item. The public hearing portions of the cases considered tonight are intended to be an opportunity for the public to be heard by the commission. It is not an opportunity for the commission to respond to public testimony or answer questions from the public. After the case presentations and public testimony period is completed, the commission will conduct any discussion and action as appropriate. Thank you. So the first order of business tonight is to hear the public comments for the three consent agenda items. If anyone is in the audience who wishes to have comments for the consent agenda items, you may come forward at this time. Are there any commissioners that have any comments about the consent agenda items or wish to make a motion at this time? Yes, Commissioner Overholt. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will move to approve the consent agenda with uh item one minutes as revised. And on item two, we find that the right-awaited dedication is necessary and proportional to the proposed development. Thank you, Commissioner Overholt. Yes. Yes, Commissioner Foster. I second that motion. Thank you, Commissioner Foster. So the motion was made by Commissioner Overholt and seconded by Commissioner Foster to approve the consent agenda item. Is there any additional discussion on the motion by the commissioners before we move to a vote? No, and let's move to a vote. The motion passes unanimously with Commissioner Herman and Commissioner Kramer being absent. So the next order of business is to hear the public hearing agenda items.
