5:43Action on the other docket items constitutes a recommendation to city council.
5:49If you need additional information about a particular case, please call the development services department at 817-392-8027.
5:57Thank you for your attention.
5:59Commissioners, an order of business is the first order of business, the approval of the January 8th meeting minutes.
6:20Second motion from Commissioner Johnson and a second from Commissioner Gillette.
6:35Um we'll just do a voice vote on this.
6:37All in favor say aye.
6:43If we'll call the first case, please.
6:48First case, V825029, vacation of portions of an alley located north of West Seminary Drive, south of West Anthony Street with the west of Union Pacific Railroad and east of Hempel Street and Block 8, South Side Edition, Council District 11.
7:02General location is north of West Seminary Drive, south of Anthony Street, west of Union Pacific Railroad, and east of Hempel Street.
7:09The applicant is Britton and Crawford.
7:14Good morning, Commission.
7:16As mentioned by Steven, this is VA 25029.
7:20It's a vacation of this alley, as you can clearly see in the yellow highlighted boundary.
7:25Yes, the yellow highlights are back.
7:32So normally the subdivision ordinance is clear that we cannot create any dead end alleys.
7:41Take a look at the exhibit here.
7:43The existing alley comes in off of West Seminary Drive, comes up, and it currently dead ends at the railroad track.
7:52When they vacated this portion here, it would have terminated the alley on this location.
7:57In order to prevent the termination of the alley, they have rededicated it back to the south out to West Seminary Drive.
8:05So staff is supportive of the waiver request right now.
8:10This is simply a matter of land consolidation for future commercial development, but there are no plans at this time.
8:19Anyone have any questions?
8:21I hope this is simple and so uh the applicant owns the property on both sides of the alley in this case.
8:26So I note that Anthony Street kind of seems like it's abandoned at that point behind it.
8:32It has a large drainage channel running through it today.
8:34Ah, that's what that is.
8:36That's it's it's drain it essentially a drain drainage infrastructure and outfall to the railroad.
8:41I guess what I was coming to do they also own the land on the other side of Anthony or no?
8:45That's that's owned by that's owned by another uh another property owner.
8:49Believe that property owner also owns this business here.
9:00Neither questions for staff.
9:06Okay, thank you, Alex.
9:08Um, is the applicant present?
9:11If you'll come forward, have you filled out a green sheet?
9:16All right, if you'll state your name and city, please.
9:20Uh good morning, commissioners.
9:21Uh, my name is Christian Golobievsky.
9:23Uh, I live at 7136 Wind Time Drive, Fort Worth, Texas.
9:28Um, if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer.
9:37Any questions for the applicant?
9:42Maybe just to add to uh what Mr.
9:46So the the connector that we're proposing is uh an actual paved parking lot, and it uh on the south side, it ties in directly to existing driveway that'll make really easy access for utility companies to access the uh the power lines that are still within the alley.
10:12Thank you very much.
10:13Appreciate you being here.
10:17Anyone else here to speak in favor?
10:22Anyone here to speak in opposition?
10:28Close the public hearing and entertain discussion or a motion.
10:33This is in council district 11.
10:36Pending discussion, I'll go ahead and motion to approve uh recommendation of the vacation of portion of the alley in block eight and south side edition.
10:51Motion by Commissioner Richard and a second by Commissioner Gillette.
10:55Um Michelle, if you'll call the vote, please.
10:57Commissioner Adams, how do you vote?
10:59Commissioner Lambert, how do you vote?
11:01Commissioner Johnson, how do you vote?
11:03Commissioner Henderson, how do you vote?
11:05Commissioner Sims, how do you vote?
11:07Commissioner Richard, how do you vote?
11:09Commissioner Farda, how do you vote?
11:11Commissioner Gillette, how do you vote?
11:13Vice Chair Cranes, how do you vote?
11:18Next case VA 25031, vacation of portions of Growth Street, Iron Street, and Wallace Street, located north of the Trinity River, and on the east side and west side of Beach Street and Page Company's East Side Edition, second filing, Council District 11.
11:32General locations north of the Trinity River, and on the east and west sides of Beach Street.
11:36Applicants have an associates.
11:42Okay, so this one is uh a little different than stuff we normally see.
11:47These are essentially just paper streets only.
11:50The remainders of these right-of-ways that these used to adjoin uh used to join have all already been previously vacated.
11:57For whatever reason, these portions of right-of-way never were, and so this is simply to clean up the two properties on either side of Beach Street uh for future plating.
12:10This is what the grid used to look like in this area.
12:13Um and it is now much different, obviously.
12:30So staff recommends the vacation of these right-of-ways to city council.
12:37Does anyone have any questions?
12:43Okay, don't see any.
12:45Um is the applicant present.
12:50Anyone here to speak in favor or in opposition?
13:00Um then we will close the public hearing and entertain discussion or a motion.
13:07Just like to um commend the uh staff for such lovely presentations today.
13:22All right, I believe this one is also in Council District 11.
13:27All right, I'm gonna um motion to approve the vacation of the sections of Gross Street, uh, Iran, Irinian uh street, and Wallace Street rights of way located on the east and west sides of Beach Street.
13:41Second, we have a motion by Commissioner Misher, a second by Commissioner Johnson.
13:47Michelle, if you'll call the vote, please.
13:48Commissioner Adams, how do you vote?
13:50Commissioner Lambert, how do you vote?
13:52Commissioner Johnson, how do you vote?
13:54Commissioner Henderson, how do you vote?
13:56Commissioner Sims, how do you vote?
13:57Commissioner Richard, how do you vote?
13:59Commissioner Farda, how do you vote?
14:01Commissioner Gillette, how do you vote?
14:03Vice Chair Cranz, how do you vote?
14:09Next on the agenda is other matters of business.
14:11We have an election of officers, but did we want to do the infill first?
14:17Let's go ahead and jump to that and take care of the agenda business.
14:20And then we'll do that.
14:22So we have uh staff here to present the uh revised infill ordinance information.
14:36Uh the Commissioners um CPC for providing us the opportunity to come back to you guys again.
14:43Um with the Ravan, can I trouble you to get a little closer to the mic, please?
15:00So we have had a chance to walk this document through various levels of our leadership to fine-tune our amendments and bring it to this shape as we present before the CPC today.
15:10Hopefully all the commissioners got a chance to look at the document that we had shared last week.
15:20So we already spoke about the background and everything.
15:37So I would take some time out to summarize the document is about since we have new commissioners joining the CPC today.
15:50Starting with the definition, so we have kind we have attempted to further uh streamline the definition, uh, taking into the consideration and comments and feedbacks from CPC as well as from the uh leadership, the city leadership.
16:05So we have confined it to infull development where any development is one criteria, it is within the one-mile loop of A20 in the city limits and platted before uh January 1 of 2000.
16:20So that is one criteria to define an infull development in the city, or if the development is within the UR, that is urban residential, any form-based code district, historic districts, or within the quarter mile of frequent transit routes.
16:35So, what are frequent transit routes?
16:37Are those transit roads which are bus lanes which have a headway or a frequency of less than 15 minutes or and including all the passenger rail stations?
16:47So we understand those are potential areas for transit-oriented development or compact development, which is as well a good candidate for infill development.
16:58Moving along, uh the role of development uh role of our director development services as we had discussed um before in our um last meeting would remain all the same.
17:10Uh we haven't had much back and forth communication on this one.
17:16Uh, only think we have uh we have addressed a few of the um comments uh that the commissioners have raised on this section.
17:24So there are not much changes to what we have presented before on this particular section.
17:32Um a summary of all the infill amendments uh moving with the first amendment on the connectivity index.
17:40We are happy to accommodate the request of one of the commissioners or collectively uh to remove the blanket waiver.
17:48So we have in induced the language that for infill developments, the director of development services or his designee uh may waive or reduce the connectivity index requirement based upon the prevailing set site condition, topography, and existing neighborhood character.
18:05So if you would appreciate earlier, it was a blanket waiver, so we have tried to accommodate that.
18:11On the lot lines, um it is for a normal uh development, it has to be perpendicular to the streets, streets um center line.
18:23For infull developments, we will factor into the existing conditions, including but not limited to the topography, easements, neighborhood character, utilities, uh built conditions.
18:34So various factors that would come to the uh review of the staff uh factoring all those conditions.
18:40We could even have uh for infill developments, those uh platts which are not uh perpendicular maybe to the street center line.
18:52For lot platting arrangement, um so for infill development, um we are providing that uh flexibility for those lots to front on to uh private excessement or an HOA designated lot.
19:07So that is an added inducement.
19:10There has been um a conversation on how we uh try to prevent uh some design um or address some design challenges uh on what we see with the turntown homes.
19:25So we have uh introduced a language for turntown home lots with access ways perpendicular to a public street, the end lot fronting both the public street and the access way shall have its front yard design to face the public street.
19:42So basically, it tries to address or prevent turn town town homes to be permitted.
19:51So uh if there is any um any plan proposal for a downtown home, the end unit will always have to face the public street uh in order to face the um in order to improve the eyes on the street uh design consideration as the staff follows.
20:08So that is an added language we have introduced in this particular section.
20:14On the access ways, we have maintained a five-foot paved service for the designated private lot or private easement of common ownership for access to lots for infill development.
20:29We have other criteria defined for other developments which are not in fill.
20:32Specifically for infill, we only require a five-foot paved access way easement.
20:40On the posse, that is the public open space easement.
20:44So at the intersection of an emergency excess easement with the alley, usually it is 10 by 10 for a normal development.
20:54For infill development, it could be reduced to a five by five easement unless and until the staff or the director feels the need for a greater dedication, considering the stopping site distance parameter.
21:14On the additional right-of-way requirement, if at all an infill development or a high density infill development is trying to induce more traffic or more intensity and traffic in a particular lane, we would best try to look for or optimize engineering solutions to improve the lane traffic or the signal traffic.
21:42But if it if at all it is determined that we need to have to provide adequate public facilities for the development, a lane dedication would be required.
21:54We have two tools to do that.
21:55One is through the separate instrument or through a replat.
21:58So if the infill development generates a traffic that degrades the level of surface of a road, the it would be the honors of the developer to provide or to put in the cost of the roadway improvements.
22:18Moving on with the street naming and addressing, currently a typical lot takes the name of from the public street.
22:26For the infill development, we are providing or widening the canvas of it by also taking it from the rare access easement and the alleys.
22:36On the corner clips, that is intersection with the street and an alley.
22:42Currently it is 10 by 10.
22:44For infill development, we have reduced it to 5 by 5 again if it adequately provides the required stopping site distance.
22:56This is the section on residential driveway access limitation.
23:01So as you see on the screen is what currently the subdivision ordinance states that is for any lot which is less than 50 feet and wide fronting onto a public street, it can only get access by two means.
23:18One, it has to be from an abetting side or a rare alley or a right driveway within an appropriate access easement, that is from the rare.
24:01So if it has a if it has an existing driveway, it would be under the consideration of the staff to evaluate whether this should be a candidate for administrative waiver.
24:44If he's not in a position to provide the common shared access ways from the end of his property line up till the uh up till to the end of the nearest street, as you see on the screen, with a material which is asphalt or concrete or higher grade material.
25:00So that is the second scenario.
25:04The third scenario is in which if a redevelopment is happening partially less than 50% of the block.
25:11Um it would be it would be treated to some kind of a feasibility test by the staff.
25:20So if there are any uh conditions or topographical conditions that prevents um or deems the construction of the alley infeasible, then um it would be up for an administrative review, or if under that review it is um deemed feasible that uh the and the developer is not in a position to provide the common shared driveways, then he is subjected to build the alley.
25:56So he is responsible to build the alley from the edge of his property lines that you see in the uh high intense gray uh marked with air strikes alley.
26:09Um whatever is remaining from the edge of the property line to the street is what we introduce a term called interim public alley.
26:17That would be um that would be paved with the material which is able to substantially withhold uh 10,000 pounds or more of vehicle load, and which would be of reduced grade material.
26:35Um that is even explained in another section in alley's paving.
26:41Uh we had touched upon all of these um in our previous um presentation um back in November.
26:49So I'm just reiterating for the brevity of all present today.
26:55Uh on the um on the alley bits, um, I remember there was that conversation whether it is 20 feet or 25.
27:03So we have tried to address that in the comments response.
27:06And we have maintained the same um standards and also proposed the reduced standards for infill development as you see on the screen.
27:15Um towards towards the last of the league of um major infill amendments is the block face length.
27:23So except for infill developments zoned UR from based code and edge block, uh the block phase long standards doesn't apply to infill, which is less than two um acres.
27:34The reason we excluded uh those um zones, particularly they have the their own standards to ensure or promote better walkability in those neighborhoods.
27:44So that is taken care of.
27:47Um with that, um I'd like to also um refresh the memory so of um all of us present today.
27:56So when we presented last time in um November to here, what all changes what we had introduced?
28:04One is on the infill development uh definition.
28:08So now we have the one mile buffer that applies to all the developments in the city limits platted before 2000.
28:16Uh we have tried to remove the NAZ and the urban villages because we uh when we found in multi-clare criteria analysis and GIS, we found that most of these are already included within uh this one of the overlays.
28:30So there was no re-need to duplicate the offers.
28:33We have introduced um something called a quarter mile buffer of frequent transit routes.
28:40That is the definition of any bus bus lanes which have uh headway of 15 minutes or less that is frequently transited, so quarter mile buffer from that bus lanes, and also all passenger uh rail stations we have in the city limits.
28:56And we have the urban residential and uh sorry, just looking to care if I can take a question here.
29:02Um so this is part that really surprised me about the frequent transit routes.
29:06Can you give an example of where something that's now covered that wouldn't have been covered before, like a corridor you're thinking of?
29:13Is that like an interstate highway or Ontario?
29:19So the TRE stop that is in Trinity Lakes is outside of loop A is outside the one mile buffer of loop A20, I believe.
29:26So there's one there, there's there's a few to the north.
29:29We have some uh we have we have some that are further north, an alliance airport and those areas up there that are frequented more often.
29:37And so that those are those are some of the areas that are further out that would be that would not have been encapsulated in that one mile buffer.
29:44And I guess is there a legal definition for frequent transit route that is in here or otherwise cited?
29:52So uh this definition is actually um taken Q out of the APA, American Planning Association, how they define it, and also transit-oriented development, which actually originated out of Canada.
30:03So there are various principles and uh uh definitions that is universally accepted and also adopted by World Bank for how they define the transit oriented development.
30:14So we have taken cue out of that.
30:15Well, also if you look into the uh Trinity Metro rail, they also define the high frequency routes, taking the headway of 15 minute or less into the picture.
30:24Sorry, I do have one more question.
30:26You have an example of a current forum-based district that's outside the current definition that we're trying to bring in.
30:32Like is there an area of town that's got a form-based co-district that wouldn't have otherwise been included?
30:39The reason we didn't limit it to just stuff within the loop is anybody can create a form-based code.
30:45Those form-based codes are usually generated by the public and then adopted by the city.
30:49So if someone were to create a master plan community, someone somewhere further away from the central city than currently today, then we would like to be able to offer that flexibility and create those pedestrian walkable friend uh friendly pedestrian-friendly uh opportunities within their development and still give them the same flexibility we would to other ones that are located within the one-mile loop.
31:17There are certain master plan communities like Walsh Ranch that has that has some opportunities for urban village uh zoning tradition, has some opportunities for mixed use and urban village development as well.
31:29So there's there's lots of them that are further away from the central city that we didn't want to just limit just this one area and isolate those opportunities.
31:38We wanted to be able to give that flexibility depending on where they were, because just it makes sense within the central city doesn't mean it doesn't make sense in other areas if they're willing to adopt those zoning classifications and the design requirements to come with them.
32:01Can we move to the next?
32:04On the connectivity index, as we discussed in the previous slide, we have uh introduced that subjected to the uh consideration of the staff or um uh the director or his designee to wave off or uh to reduce the requirement of connectivity index.
32:20That is one change that is from what we discussed last time, Emperor on the load plotting arrangement as we introduced a language to regulate the town homes and attempt through the subdivision ordinance.
32:34We would also do through uh zoning ordinance, which would follow suit uh just to ensure and prevent and ease the degradation of the neighborhood.
32:46And last but not the least, block face length.
32:49Um so uh we had MU or other form-based code districts, so MU is already under the form-based code, so we would just like to remove the duplicity in that.
33:00Um that's our plan for February, and we are open to more questions.
33:08Any other questions?
33:10Yeah, so one of the things that came up before is there was some uh staff had said, oh, there were some mistakes, some typos types of things in the ordinance presented before.
33:19Is there a review of what those were just so I'm not having to nitpick?
33:23Can you all um I think the typos were basically on those and or in the definition criteria which we um kind of explained right now, and the other thing was on the 20 feet and 25 feet on the alley widths, which we also rectified.
33:40So those those are well taken care of.
33:43I guess whatever Rich had shared has um addressed all those typos and um if they are more, we are happy to look at them.
33:55Commissioner Henderson, are you asking if there's a red line?
33:57Excuse me, available.
33:58Well, I mean a red line would be nice to see, yes, of what we looked at before in depth, and we have now.
34:10There is there were some other questions that several of us have put to staff about uh the ordinance too.
34:14I'm not sure if I didn't get a response on this, did you?
34:17I didn't get a response, but my questions have all been addressed in this.
34:20I was gonna ask if if yours have as well.
34:22I'm reviewing mine right now, make sure.
34:25That was my question, Commissioner.
34:27There was a red line prepared to show you all changes that were made since November.
34:32I'm not sure if that got shared or if y'all just got the clean version that was sent out last Friday.
34:38Yeah, I think what I got was it's it's uh a red line compared to what the old subdivisional rinse is, not what the changes were.
34:45Did anybody see that?
34:46That's that's what I'm seeing as well.
34:50I don't suppose we could have a printed copy we could read real quick.
34:54Let me look and see if I can do that.
35:03Well, we can do it right.
35:09Any other questions or discussion while we're waiting on that?
35:17Yeah, my my one concern on this was the uh the form based code going fully administrative in what is newer development areas.
35:24It doesn't seem like that's really the intent of infill.
35:29But I think it was explaining what they're trying to do here.
35:32So I was a little surprised.
35:37This doesn't necessarily matter for making a decision today, but unless I missed it in the emails, the presentation I got was I think an older version of what was presented.
35:47Would it be possible for us to get just for our records?
35:52The version that was presented here today.
35:55Mine stops on slide 21 where it says discussion.
35:59Okay, go ahead and just kept going with some more good information.
36:02Yes, which I appreciate being in there.
36:05Definitely it's in detail, study.
36:10Because it kind of seemed like the agenda said schedule, yes.
36:15My understanding is that that Steph is asking for a vote today.
36:20Um I guess where we left it last time was you know, we we wanted the opportunity to provide comments, see the changes.
36:27Um I guess question to to the group, maybe some discussion on whether or not we feel comfortable proceeding with a vote today, or if we feel that there are additional items we need to see or questions that need to be hashed out.
36:44I know that they captured all the questions that I had.
36:47I'm not certain to what extent we need to discuss it further, but if there was there were issues that weren't addressed today, then we can certainly discuss those, but they've captured mine.
37:06Commissioner Henderson, do you think we need to wait to see uh the red line on that?
37:10Or do you think were your questions substantially addressed?
37:14Any remaining concerns?
37:15There was a couple of them.
37:16I was trying to figure out if they have been addressed or not on uh the code.
37:22Maybe we can look at them.
37:23I think I think I can pull that sort of I would really appreciate that.
37:31Um you mean to say that the document you had received didn't have any red lines or I think the document we received to as Commissioner Henderson stated compares the original or the prior final version of the subdivision ordinance to the currently proposed amendments.
37:53It doesn't show the changes between what we saw in November and what we're seeing today.
38:00Yeah, it's just strike throughs of the original document.
38:04It's not showing the interim updates.
38:10Yes, shall we do a five-minute recess while we're looking for that?
38:13Okay, let's do that.
38:21Rich is gonna send me the document.
38:23I'll pull it up out of my email.
38:25Yeah, we're gonna take a five minute and then uh reconvene.
38:27So if y'all want to get some coffee or whatnot.
39:25Okay, we're gonna call the meeting back into session.
39:32We're having so much Wi-Fi doesn't have to be.
39:38Oh, you don't want me to do that.
39:40I think we should do karaoke.
39:43Yeah, I think you should do very okay.
40:20Sometimes I get up on stage.
43:17Call this meeting back to order.
43:27What this document is supposed to be is a red line to the version you saw back in November.
43:36So I'm not sure where where the, you know, where the specific questions are, we did a l a little bit of uh maybe we grammar.
43:45But this maybe we go to Lee's questions regarding the red line.
43:50It's not super long award.
43:54Okay, and so this was something I think this came from Tidwell uh wanting to have you know some of the rationale behind doing infill.
44:01That was the main change there.
44:07This was our definition of infill where we've made some changes.
44:26So that was that was something uh in the initial ordinance there was a process built in where with the first application the applicant would submit an application saying I'm in Phil.
44:38It's just not gonna be workable because development projects come in at all different stages, and so to try to do that would kind of be a nightmare to try to administer.
44:49Um the the key to that is the staff will be trained to understand that um they have to watch out for infill just like they do on other things they watch out for.
45:00Oh the applicant wouldn't be saying I want to that doesn't exist in Phil.
45:03It would just so happens to the process city staff wouldn't.
45:06It could happen through the process, and certainly you know, if staff chooses, they can update all the the documents to have a checkbox to say is this infill.
45:14Uh though they would still have to check against that.
45:17But you know, you you may have a development that's only coming in for a building permit, it doesn't need a plat versus one that needs a plat, whether it be preliminary or final or a replat.
45:27And so there's so many different touches along the way.
45:30Um it's kind of difficult to have a separate process created just to process whether or not you're an infill.
45:48This is on the connectivity index where we had some back and forth um where I believe some of you wanted to uh put some language in that DJ had agreed to last time on the limiting the director's authority to grant waivers on connectivity index to certain situations.
46:44So to what should be new from what you last saw is in red.
46:53So the underlined part there that starts with foreign fill developments, that should have been in the version you saw last time, and it's newly proposed language because it's underlined.
47:05A and B section of five is consolidated to one.
47:09Yeah, it's it's I think that has to do with the red line and just how it's showing.
47:13So there was a proposal to do this additional right right-of-way requirements at high volume intersections, and as staff worked through that, it was determined we don't need to add that to the ordinance.
47:35Almost halfway through.
47:36You're half only halfway.
47:38I'm sorry, I I couldn't hear you, Commissioner.
47:40I wanted to make sure we don't have any more questions before I don't have any more on this section.
47:45I was just stating we're almost halfway through.
47:48Yeah, just capitalization.
48:03Anybody I appreciate the addition of the asphalt here as an option.
48:15Um is the is the asphalt or concrete requirement at the direction of development director services, or is that a developer option?
48:26So it'll it will be at the developers' discretion.
48:30They can do either or if they are gonna build the alley.
49:09That would be it as far as that changes.
49:13Can you scroll back to the interim public alley?
49:15I think it's two two pages up down.
49:38Thanks staff for uh getting that pulled up to go through it.
49:41Yeah, thank you for walking through that.
49:42That was helpful for me as well.
49:48Um open it up if there's anyone here to speak in favor.
50:00Anyone here to speak in opposition?
50:04We will close the public hearing on that.
50:07Um and I I think at this point, reading the room, I believe we're ready to proceed with with a vote on this.
50:15Um so I will entertain further discussion or a motion, and I believe anyone can make a motion on this one as it's applicable to all districts.
50:27I'll make a motion to approve the subdivision ordinance textual amendments as they were presented here today.
50:34I'll second a motion from Commissioner Farda and a second from Commissioner Risher.
50:43Uh Michelle, if you'll call the vote, please.
50:50Commissioner Adams, how do you vote?
50:52Commissioner Lambert, how do you vote?
50:54Commissioner Johnson, how do you vote?

51:13Congratulations on getting past this step.
51:16I'd like to uh really thank um Aravon and Alex uh for putting the work through.
51:22There was some transition that happened, and Arvon took took this up upon himself to to finish.
51:28So Alex and Aravan, I really appreciate all your efforts in this.
51:32So thank you so much.
51:34I think the uh next item of business is to do uh vote for the chair.
51:39So um do we have anybody who wants to do the chair?
51:45Do you want to continue doing the chair role?
51:47I would be honored to serve as the chair if if you'll have me.
51:51Anyone else want to run for chair?
51:55All right, let's go ahead and do a vote.
51:57Um all in favor of Ms.
52:00Cranz as chair, say aye.
52:04All right, who would like to do a vice?
52:08Oh, anybody opposed?
52:10Um, this is new to me whenever I'm uh CBC Commissioner.
52:15Uh so less uh anybody want to do vice chair or nominate themselves or nominate somebody for vice chair.
52:24I'll make a nomination.
52:25I want to nominate Commissioner Johnson for the position of vice chair.
52:33Anyone else want to throw their hat in the ring?
52:36Commissioner Johnson accept the nomination.
52:39I'll accept that nomination.
52:45All in favor of Commissioner Johnson as the vice chair, say aye.
52:54Okay, so we have Caroline Cranz as the chair and CJ Johnson as the vice chair.
53:02And that's our final order of business.
53:04So I believe we are adjourned, and we will see you next month.
