Madam Chair and members of the planning commission, may limit Aracelie Rodriguez.

Item 65 Adel Commercial.

The site is located in the city limit at the intersection of Adele Street and Studio Street, east of Main Street and north of Covac Street.

The purpose of the Wii Plat is to create one unrestricted reserve.

No variances are being requested with this item.

The advocate has met all the notification requirements.

And per legal review, the proposed Wii Plat will not violate applicable restriction.

That recommendation is to approve the play substitute the CPC 101 form condition, and that did not receive any public comment in event.

Madam Chair, if the pleasure of the Commission, you may open the public hearing for this item at this time.

Thank you, Ms.

Rodriguez.

The public hearing for item 65 is open.

I have no one signed to speak.

Is there anyone that wishes to?

Hearing none, I'll close the public hearing and seek a motion for staff recommendation.

Motion Mana, second Baldwin.

All in favor?

Aye.

Opposed?

Motion carries.

Item 66.

Item 66, Cotton Oak Reserve.

The site is located in Houston ETJ in Harris County.

South of Wayford Road and West of Coughlin Road.

The purpose of the Wii Plat is to create 27 single family lot and 11 reserves.

No variances are being requested with this item.

And the applicant has met all the notification requirements.

However, that recommendation is to defer the plat for further restriction review.

Madam Chair, is it please to the Commission, you may open the public hearing for this item at this time?

And also that did not receive any public comments in events.

Thank you.

The public hearing for item 66 is open.

Speaker signed, Miss Sarah Yeager, this is what they said.

Thank you.

Am I to understand that it's been deferred because of the request for easement changes?

There's a recommendation of deferral from staff, yes.

Until y'all research the the deed restrictions that they submitted, or the that's what legal is looking at, yes.

Okay.

And so at this point we don't know when in two weeks it will come back before commission.

They'll continue.

I can clarify a little bit.

It's not so much the deed restrictions.

I think the opinion that came back from neighborhood services was that it did not violate deed restrictions.

The thing we want to look into more directly is the road that goes on the kind of the west area and heading up to the north.

There is an existing 60-foot wide easement that goes back to serve that back lot.

Okay.

I was guessing it was Ms.

Yeager.

And we want to make sure what that does to that or whether or not that easement has been eradicated.

It is a public street, so you would still have access via that same path.

It's just because it is a little narrower.

So we're just trying to run that part of it down.

What about the deed restrictions about setback lines and number of houses and maybe y'all are checking in all of that too?

That's a planning question.

Ms.

Rodriguez, can you to Ms.

Rodriguez?

Yeah.

Hi.

Yeah, we we want to be sure that whatever they submit is accordance to the deed restrictions.

It's a subdivision of four properties.

I am one of the properties.

They are one of the properties.

And we want to make sure that they are following the deed restrictions for the four properties.

Right.

Ms.

Rodriguez can help you with that if you.

So um I can so the applicant is proposing a private street system with 27 lot.

All the 27 lots are going to be larger than 5,000 square footage with a 20-feet builder line along the side two when the minimum is five feet per the ordinance.

So right now the plat do meet or chapter 42.

It's just a pending legal review about the overlap of the acted eatment on the proposed public street.

And we'll I'll re-verify the deed restriction response as well.

Okay.

Okay, because we just changed them yesterday.

In this two weeks.

And I don't think they have even been filed yet.

If they changed them yesterday, Ms.

Mickelson, that wouldn't apply to this.

Submittal.

Yeah, we'll we'll we'll need to look and see what's what is happening with that.

That's new news.

Yes.

Very new news.

So yes, when something is submitted, then you can't go back and change rules on them after the fact.

So you can't put deed restrictions in place after an applicant has submitted and gotten on the agenda for planning commission.

So your new deed restrictions would not apply to them.

In all likelihood.

Yes.

Let me look.

Yeah, we we will run that down and um you say they were just done yesterday?

Yeah.

Were they recorded or they haven't been recorded yet?

Okay.

Oh, they have not.

No.

I don't unless you were open last night.

No, we weren't open last night.

Okay.

We will make sure we have contact information and we will work with with Ms.

Rodriguez.

Yes, Commissioner.

Do you ma'am?

Do you mind just mentioning what kind of changes did you guys make in the new restrictions?

There's there's uh restrictions on how far back from the property line a a building can be.

Okay.

And so we changed some of those.

They used to be 100 feet, some of them are 65 feet, some of them are 15 feet now.

So it's setback building lines that got changed.

Um I just want to make sure that you know the right ones were recorded because there was a lot of discussion on the number of feet.

So I would like to make a um note that on the face of the plat, the advocate is showing the 55 feet builder line, but along the northern south boundary, but legal can help us do more review restriction.

Great.

That'd be great.

All right, thank you.

So it looks like there is a road and then a pretty large setback from that property line.

But it's it's got five sites.

All five sites need to be checked.

Um are y'all finished with this one thing or we'll move on now for a vote.

Uh answer questions any commissioners have.

Uh but we'll take a vote on staff recommendation for deferral.

My contact information.

This is my contact.

And then this will come back in two weeks, back to planning commission.

Ms.

Yeager.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Thank you for coming in and sharing your comments.

Commissioners, any other questions?

Okay.

I have no one else signed to speak.

Is there anyone that will else that wishes to?

Hearing none, I will continue the public hearing and seek a motion for staff recommendation of a deferral.

Covert motion to um differ.

Motion colvard.

Second Jones.

All in favor?

Aye.

Opposed.

Motion carries.

Thank you.

Item 67.

Item 67.

It ain't cleared at Lincolnshire.

The state is located in the city limit west of Cottingham Road and south of Almida.

You know the purpose of the Wii plat is to create 30 single family lot and six parking reserve with three different shared driveways.

No variances are being requested with this item.

The applicant has met all the notification requirements, and per legal review, the proposed replacement will not violate applicable restriction.

That recommendation is to approve the plat subject to the CPC 101 form condition, and that did not receive any public comment in advance.

Madame Chair, it's the pleasure of the commission.

You may open the public hearing for this item at this time.

Thank you.

The public item uh but public hearing for item 67 is open.

I have no one signed to speak.

Is there anyone that wishes to?

Hearing none, I'll close the public hearing and seek a motion for staff recommendation.

Um the comments um I notice that there's quite a few, like 14 protected live oaks.

Um I see it's noted, but I just strongly would my preference obviously be I can't say that this has to happen, but my strong preference would be to protect those trees if possible.

So there's yeah, it's beautiful.

The advocate is aware of that.

Yeah.

Any other questions or comments?

Do I have a motion for staff recommendation?

Motion Motors.

Second to hear.

All in favor?

Aye.

Opposed.

Motion carries.

Item 68.

Item 68.

Estate at Ethan Hollow Weeplet number one.

The site is located in the city limit west of Martin Luther King Boulevard and south of Airport Boulevard.

The purpose of the WIFLA is to create 54 single family lot and seven reserves.

No variances are being requested with this item, and the advocate has met all the notification requirements.

Per legal review, the proposed WEPLA will not violate applicable restriction.

And staff did not receive.

I mean, staff did receive a public comment in advance who avoided opposition to the proposed development.

So step recommendation, however, is to approve the placed subject to the CPC 101 form condition.

Madam Chair, if the pleasure of the commission, you may open the public hearing for this item at this time.

Thank you.

The public hearing for item 68 is open.

I have no one signed to speak.

Is there anyone that wishes to?

Hearing none, I'll close the public hearing and seek a motion for staff recommendation.

Motion Garza.

Motion Garza.

Second Jones, all in favor?

Opposed.

Motion carries.

Item 69.

Item 69.

Flight line north.

The site is located in the city limit, north along Rankin Road and west of U.S.

59.

Next to George Bush Airport.

The purpose of the WEPLA is to create one unrestricted reserve.

No variances are being requested with this item.

And per legal review, this proposed WEPLAT will not violate applicable restriction.

However, due to a technical error, notification requirement will not met.

So that recommendation is to defer the plat to allow adequate time to meet the notice requirement.

Staff did receive multiple received multiple public comments in the van who are who voice a concern on multiple issues, just as proposed use, quality of life, pollution, and even the opening of media thoroughfare ranking road.

So at this time, Madam Chair, it's the pleasure of the commission.

You may open the public hearing for this item.

Thank you.

The public hearing for item 69 is open.

I have several speakers signed.

Our first speaker is Felicia Galloway Kizzy.

Good afternoon.

My name is Felicia Galloway Kizy, and I apologize that I did not know that I could use this to project for you guys, so I made some posters.

Okay.

And I'll just hold it up.

Okay.

But um I'm a resident of Heather Ridge Village, which is near where Flight Line North is wanting this 42 or whatever it is that they're trying to do.

Um I just want to make it clear that I spoke with the project manager.

His name was David Neely at MPH Rankin LLC.

And he stated to me that their intentions is a detention pond.

However, they ultimately are going to build warehouses with the opening of ranking road.

And I just kind of want to show you.

Holding them up for you.

Yes.

Yes, ma'am.

So this is ranking road, and this is our community over here.

Right here is the proposed area that they're talking about.

And this is in.

And with that, we don't we would not want ranking to go through because we already have to contend with this business and then the church right here, which is a very uh renowned pastor.

But this is the end of Rankin.

This is trucks going into our community to turn around, blocking us from giving into our community.

This is the church where we have to wait in line to exit out our community because it's a renowned church.

A lot of celebrities go there.

And this is more traffic.

These are just pictures just showing the committee that we don't want ranking to go through.

We don't need any more businesses coming that way.

We like our quality of life there, the woods.

I don't know where the animals that are there are gonna go, and it's just really nice and serene.

I just put up here residents of Heather Ridge Village deserve a quality of life too.

So thank you.

Go ahead and wrap up real quick.

Okay, I just it was just me.

We're just gonna make some notes that we hope that whenever this comes, we don't know why it was deferred, but that you would be in favor of the residents because we've been here over 30 years.

We raised our children, our grandchildren, and it's really serene.

And the business that is right here, it's a recycling place.

We've had issues with them, but they've been good neighbors.

We communicate with them whenever there's a problem.

If I call them right now because this truck is blocking our entrance to get in, they go get it resolved immediately.

We just don't want any more traffic coming through there.

We just love our community, and thank you for the additional time.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

And um, the reason that this is being recommended for deferral is for notice.

They didn't meet the notice requirements.

Rodriguez can better define that for you, but that that's the reason.

Okay.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you so much.

Madam Chair, yes to help the a the speaker.

I just know at the the bottom uh the southern boundary of this property identifies ranking road as recorded right away.

Though uh don't know if it extends completely to Lee Road, which is further to the west, but along the boundary of this property, there's a notation about a recorded uh reference to ranking road.

On the southern boundary of this property.

Right.

Yeah.

So it's already recorded.

Yeah.

May I say one more thing, madam chair?

When I spoke with Mr.

David Neely, I asked him if you must build, because this is what they said they're eventually gonna do.

Do you have to come through ranking?

Why can't you go through Lee Road?

And he said, Well, it's not a uh street there, maybe the city will allow us.

So if they just have to do something, that would be our preference for them to enter another way.

And plus, there's another community on the other side of Lee Road where they have been bought out, there's no homes there.

They could go there.

Okay.

Staff will make a note of that.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Our next speaker is Barbara Eaglen.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Of course, my name is Barbara Eaglen.

I'm also a resident of Heatherbridge Village, been there for over 25 years.

We are established uh residential area.

We have families there.

Um she says we have been serene, we have not been bothered by anything.

We do not need any more traffic of buildings that's going down ranking road.

We have been informed that we are already at flood capacity.

Any more buildings with that we're concerned with, even though we can we're hearing it's gonna be a reservoir built back there.

Uh we're concerned with what other buildings that you're gonna that the building of applicant is gonna place back there in our community.

Uh we have a lot of traffic already.

Uh we have not had any problems.

Uh we have a low crime rate back there.

Uh this is what we also concern with the the number of uh cars, uh businesses, uh traffic that's gonna be initiated.

Uh we don't need any more.

Well, we are content the way we are now.

Uh we don't need any more um businesses.

We haven't problems now.

We got warehouses back there.

She said the church traffic is getting out of control.

They also have to have police officers direct traffic now because we can't get in and out of the neighborhood as it is.

We uh we are residents of probably 250 homes.

Um we just been quiet and no problems, and we like to keep it that way.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Commissioners, any questions?

Thank you so much.

Our next speaker is um uh Belle Mosley.

Good afternoon.

Like to say good evening.

My name is Abel Mosley, and I'm a 40-year residence of Heather Ridge visit.

Um the business that's back there has been back there for years, color tile.

And it floods when the moment they built back there, uh they have problems uh getting in and out of that gate.

That it floods already at that particular area.

I'm opposed to opening ranking road to opposed to flight line to build back there, whatever whatever's going on.

Um even the electricity in that area.

We get one lightning flash.

The lights go out.

Our lights go out.

So uh adding other stuff back there is not gonna help our situation at all.

Uh we have a a bayou at the back of the neighborhood that's uh is a little relief, but not much.

Nothing has been done to it in years, and it's uh it won't take it, it won't take any more buildings.

And the other thing, uh sewage, when that neighborhood was built, it was built like nothing else is supposed to be built back there.

So you're gonna have to have a problem with the sewage problems, just like I I've heard that that building that colored towel started out with years ago, it has changed hands several times because they have issues over there and at that building.

So we we want to avoid having more floods than we than we need to.

We have already gone through a few, and I I oppose anything like that.

It just it's just something that that should not happen.

And uh I'm I'm asking that I I go on record that I'd be opposed to all of this.

And also the wildlife.

There's a lot of wildlife back there.

So what are we gonna do about that?

I guess we have to catch those animals and put them in our backyards.

So, but uh please take all of this in consideration when uh cities making this decision.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Mosley.

Commissioners, any questions?

Okay, thank you so much.

We appreciate it.

Next speaker is Joe Ballard.

Good afternoon.

How y'all doing?

How are you?

I'm good.

I'm also opposed to this.

We we we really have I've been there almost 30 years.

We had two floods.

And uh like I say, I I I have grandkids now that's coming up.

Our community is quiet, no violence, no breaking cars, no anything.

Um this company here, you see how this look?

This every day.

We got to fight this every day.

They just block the street.

This truck here go all the way in our neighborhood and turn around.

The to our monument down.

And once we find out they gone, we got to pay for it.

Uh we it's so many issues.

It's it's definitely gonna cause flooding.

They out there right now digging the trench behind the house on the on the side where they're building that, where they're trying to build.

They're digging the trench right now, I guess to make room for the retention point that they that they that they're gonna have.

So all that water is gonna come right through our neighborhood.

Our taxes then went up, our flood insurance went up.

Our property taxes then went up.

When I was there, I was I was paying like two thousand.

I'm at six thousand right now, because they studied billing, and we got to pay for, you know, to keep our community safe.

We got to hire police.

And with this, when they open ranking up, then people don't even know we're back there.

The city of Houston don't even know we're back there.

They forget about us.

So like when we call when these services, they join in on the spot.

Man, we ain't y'all in y'all in uh y'all not in Harris County, y'all not in the city limit.

Yeah, we're in the city limits.

You know, we got a nice quiet community, nice quiet.

I'm trying, you wouldn't even know it's back there.

Everything else they done bought out, and they they encroaching on us more and more every day.

Our property value is gonna probably go down, you know.

Who knows?

So I think they they got plenty of room.

You got you got Lee Road.

It's they got where they dump trash and all it's plenty of room where they can go back through there or make a road or whatever.

You know, we just don't need it.

Please, we don't need it.

Thank you.

We appreciate you coming in and sharing your comments.

Question Commissioners, do you have any questions?

Okay, thank you so much.

Our next speaker is Marjorie Thomas.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, and thank you for your time today.

My name is Marjorie Thomas.

I reside also in the Heather Ridge uh village subdivision.

Uh I'm in I've been um a resident for 20 over 25 years.

I think about my community as a oasis away from the mass of the city.

But I also look at what development did to the community of Pleasantville when it put in all those warehouses and brought the property down and brought the roads to to to ruin.

I look at Green's Road that's so horrible that you can't drive down it.

And I hate to see that happen to my neighborhood.

And all as they say, all the wildlife, there was a family of deer that used to that used to roam when we first came in there.

There are no more deers.

But they're gonna come in my house after a while when they build everything down.

And I understand that.

I have a bad habit of leaving my garage door up and my doors unlocked and my house is safe.

It's not too many people in Houston that can say that.

This is how safe my neighborhood is.

But if y'all approve these people coming in, tearing up ranking road, additional uh uh traffic coming through, additional people.

Oh, there's a new neighborhood.

Let's see if we can steal something out of it.

We don't want it.

We don't have to have it.

We're asking you all to side with us as residents that we can still maintain our community.

I understand that the city has to develop and have taxes.

But we pay taxes too.

Thank you so much.

Um let's see, Celise Bowie.

Hello, hello everyone.

How are you doing?

Uh my name is Salisa Bowie.

I also live in the subdivision.

I'm a retired veteran, so is my husband.

We did over 20 years in the military.

We picked this area and we picked a house that we can afford.

I don't want to be a homeless vet or trying to relocate.

I want to reiterate everything that they said uh about the roads, the media.

If you walk come, you know, it gets tall if you put more traffic in there.

The types of building that go back there, I came today to see what they was putting back there, but of course we don't have any answers because of the uh deferment.

Safety and security, I feel very safe in that neighborhood.

I don't know where else I can move to in this city or surrounding area to feel as safe.

I have people that come by if a stranger looking in the neighborhood, my neighbor Joe, he probably like, hey, what are you doing in front of this house?

I mean, we have an awesome neighbor, it's like family back there.

Everyone feels safe and secure.

As for flooding, I live on that last road ranking.

Um we're flooded twice.

Thank God I had a little water come in my garage, but I wouldn't want to move at all.

And if you pull up trees and put buildings back there, when you pull up trees, everybody know where is that water gonna get absorbed to.

If you don't have tree roofs pulling up some of that water when it rain, more construction, more buildings, it's gonna flood more easily into our areas, and we're gonna be more amped to flood.

So I may be like less than a centimeter from getting flooded when you start building buildings and don't have the trees to soak up the water when there's a lot of flooding going on back there.

Um also my brother veteran, he has cancer.

He's less than five minutes away.

He has no other family but me.

So I move in that area to be close to my elderly brother to take care of him, and I have an elderly aunt.

So the location is good for family, friends, and taking care of family.

Um the flooding, I can't say enough about that.

Like I said, um, these people are beautiful, and I feel safe.

And I hope y'all take that in consideration.

And um, I'm opposed to them, you know, building villains back there at all because I don't want the flooding.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for your service and your family for their service.

We appreciate it.

Commissioners, any questions?

Okay, our next speaker is Donna Jubert.

Good afternoon.

Hello, good afternoon.

My name is Donna Joubert.

I've lived in Heather Ridge Village for over 25 years.

And um, to reiterate everything they've said, I do understand when we moved when we lived there, there were no other buildings except the Color Tile Building that's directly across from where we entered, where we come and go.

Once other buildings started being built, our neighborhood started to flood.

I live on the first street, so I really get flooded.

Not my entire street, but those of us halfway in the street, we already get flooded.

So when you put up another building there that's not going to be responsible for the drainage, we're hoping that they do, but if they're not responsible for the for the drainage, then we're gonna flood even even more.

That's a big concern to me.

And it also causes the value of our property to depreciate.

So I do have a question.

Um does replatting change the restrictions of the neighborhood?

And does it include any part of our neighborhood?

And then my my other question is will that street still be used for residential use So Ms.

Rodriguez may have to help me, but the first question they're not affecting your property by their replat.

They can't replat your property.

Only you can reply.

So we will sh we will share Rankin Road?

Yes.

Okay.

And um So the will any part of the residents will any part of our neighborhood be utilized for for this new business?

It shouldn't be.

Okay.

And what will the infrastructure be for the grid?

Because our lights go out when the whenever the the wind blows.

Right.

Unfortunately, went out this week.

That's a center point uh question.

Yeah, I I was gonna say it's uh it is a center point question versus the city question.

Um if you Google Center Point Energy service area map, it will and you can put your address when that site comes up, you can put your address in, and it'll tell you the center point contacts for your area.

And you can start reaching out to them and just um they can look into the history of outages and you can even request if they look into you know we uh uh resiliency projects.

But but they're the website, so Center Point Energy Service Area Map.

Uh you Google that and put your address in.

Okay.

So that's all my questions.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We appreciate you coming in.

Thank you, Commissioner Martes.

I have no one else signed to speak.

Is there anyone that wishes to?

Yes, please come forward.

I'd like to mention one thing if I may.

Well, you already spoke, so the speaker rules don't allow you to come back up.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

But you'll you can come back um in two weeks.

This application is recommended for deferral.

So we'll hear this again in two weeks.

I'm just gonna let you know about the warehouses that they do, they build those warehouses and they sit back there for four or five years.

Nothing happens.

Thank you.

Yes, Mayor.

Could you state your name, please?

My name is Alma Rosas, I'm a resident of Heather Ridge as well.

I've been there for 20 years.

Um and I'm coming in late to this.

I think the meeting that we had um with our subdivision, but I'm so happy to see so many of them here today because I have been there 20 years.

Sorry.

Okay, I just get a little nervous in front of people.

You're fine.

Um but I have been there the 20 years.

I feel very safe there.

Um as they said, everybody's very respectful.

Um, we're just all really good neighbors to each other.

And I would hate to see ranking opened up because I mean, when those new when that new warehouse moved in, it was a concern.

And there's a lot of trash back there sometimes, but they have made an effort to pick up the trash and stuff like that.

Um I first moved in, it was an older, you know, older families living there, and now I've seen new families move in with kids, you know, and they want to run around in the street and bikes and stuff like that.

And it it is a really good community to to raise families, and I just would really, really be opposed to ranking being opened up because I wouldn't feel safe anymore.

It's it's good to know that I'm driving into a safe zone, and if that street is to open up, I wouldn't feel as safe.

And I just would not want that for my community.

Um just to say that uh I just really hope that this doesn't come to a version because I mean as it is when the gas station moved in with the truck stop, that wasn't a concern, and now this, and it's just not something that I want to see happen in the place where I've called home for the past 20 years.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for coming in and sharing your comments.

Is there anyone else that wishes to speak?

Okay.

Commissioners, any questions?

Yes, Commissioner Sigler.

Um I have a question for staff, and this can maybe be for next time, but just want to know when when Rankin Road was platted, because it it looks like it is recorded, so it it was gonna go, it was there was a plan for it to always be there.

Or I shouldn't say always.

When was it platted and just any history that we have on did it start out as a major thoroughfare that might just give us some context?

I did look at the plot.

Um I just don't remember the year the month of document that like and when it was plotted uh many, many years ago.

Um I can have more specific yearness time.

Okay.

If you bring that back in two weeks, yes, Commissioner Colbard.

Um couple of questions.

This is is this a shall approve item?

There's no variance requests.

There is no variance request, correct?

Okay.

Commission Ms.

Mickelson.

Did you have something to say?

No, I was just going to say there is no variance.

Okay.

Okay.

When it comes back to you, remember we are not acting on it.

Right.

And um there is not a deed restriction issue.

It's it's okay.

Um then does not violate deed restrictions.

I got you.

Um then also um I don't see anybody from public works, Mr.

Smith or there they're hills.

Yeah.

I mean, uh I I I hear the concerns about flooding and so forth, and so I am sure that you are probably already on top of it, but just maybe there's some conversations that could be had in the meantime.

Thank you.

That's a good point.

So um yeah, if you'd like to come up and make some comments, that would be great.

Thank you, Commissioner.

Um Madam Chairman, when the design comes for review, we really look out for those items.

And all new developments needs to meet new flood requirements, which means they need to be all flood neutral.

We do that by certain uh you know uh applications of engineering uh by detention, by slow release, and by some there are many different methods we adopt to to make sure that happens, you know.

So I think it would be very comforting for the community to be able to have a conversation with you so you could explain that.

So maybe they'll all probably depart at the same time.

And when they do, would you go out with them?

Absolutely.

And share your contact info and and have a conversation.

Absolutely.

Not already.

So if you didn't hear that for the for the community, um he represents public works, the City of Houston's public works.

That's where flood issues, traffic and those kind of things are addressed, not here in this commission.

So he'll talk to you guys um after we are done.

Happy to do that.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you, ma'am.

Yes, Ms.

Mickelson.

I I had one other thing, and it relates to the drainage and the flood regulation.

You'll note in the CPC 101 that this property lies within tier two of the compatible land use ordinance around the airport.

We can obviously see its proximity to the airport.

So any detention that they put on site will have to meet FAA standards for drainage.

It's not going to be allowed to stand there and accumulate and create a bug situation or any of that.

Right.

I would say I hope they check this because birds and planes don't usually mix the big thing.

They don't mix well.

That's right.

I'm sure Windrose is looking at that.

But there will be additional drainage protections just above and beyond what are required.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Okay.

I have no one outside to speak.

Do you have any more questions?

Okay.

I have one.

I'm sorry.

Next meeting.

Yeah, next meeting come in and if you have some questions, if you should share them with staff when we're done here.

Yeah, we'll share that.

Yeah, if you could share that with staff, um they'll look into everything during the two-week period.

Okay.

I think I have a few comments maybe.

For Speaker number one, you had a question or ask, and uh I just want us to take a stab at this.

Could this landowner not get access somewhere else besides ranking road?

As it stands right now, uh their properties around Rankin Road between them and Lee.

Right.

Um, which means, you know, for them they would not have access through someone else's property.

And so their only means of access is this recorded portion of ranking for their property.

Uh just wanted to state that.

I wanted to make a comment on detention, but uh I you heard from legal that their standards of compared to standards previously, and because of location, they are required to pay particular attention to detention.

Um so that's something just to note.

Um I wanted to acknowledge Speaker No.

Because I didn't, so thank you.

Uh your your questions were like surgical, and hopefully we uh we provide at least some clear answers to your your questions.

Uh so I just wanted to note that.

Thank you.

Ms.

Bandy, did you have something you wanted to make clarification on?

I saw you stand up.

No.

Good afternoon.

I just wanted to say that ranking is a major thoroughfare and the development is proposing probably to take access from the major thoroughfare.

We don't know what the user at this time.

So maybe those are some of the questions that the applicant can answer.

Um they do have other public street frontage, but I just wanted to point out ranking as a major thoroughfare and we would prefer for it to be paved.

That's a personal opinion, not the department's opinion.

But we can get the information about the site plan from the applicant.

That'd be great.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Any other comments?

Commissioner Martes looked like you had something.

Well, question.

Would they be required to build out ranking themselves?

If they are planning to take ASA, yes.

Yeah.

Okay.

Commissioner Sigler.

How what the length, though.

I mean just enough to get access or the entire length of their property.

That is more public work question.

But what I have to learn is that whatever they own it up to their after only, not the entire thing.

Not the entire rate.

Okay.

I just wanted to make that clear.

But they would would they be required to have multiple access and it has to be a certain distance apart.

I think that that's all public plan.

It depends on the use and yeah.

Yeah.

Anything else?

Okay.

All right.

Hearing nothing else, I will continue the public hearing and seek a motion for staff recommendation of deferral.

Motion Garza.

Motion Garza, second Motes.

All in favor?

Aye.

Opposed.

I have the applicant here for questions.

Hello.

It's a 37-year-old design build firm here in Houston with the 2024 National Association, a home builders custom builder of the year in the United States Green Building Council's lead for pro lead for homes builder of the year.

I say this to prove that we're a team of architects, interior designers, builders, and craftsmen who take great what great pride in the work we design.

We have taken great care of designing this for a client who has built four once before.

He is excited to be a part of the community, has already met with many of his neighbors who have been vocal in supporting his new home.

Our submission does not violate the rules for replatting in any way.

We are not applying for any type of variants.

This has been recommended by city staff.

We are building a single family bungalow which matches the historic homes in the area, and we're removing two commercial structures.

They go as far in their letter to you as saying that this complies with all replat guidelines.

If anyone on the Civic Association does not like that this is something that is acceptable, we recommend that they urge the city to change their laws.

Buyers, architects, and engineers all plan based on these rules.

If you don't like them, the move is to change them.

Uh not stop this one house from being built by a very good guy.

Does anyone have any questions for me or our architectural staff?

Any questions, Commissioners?

I don't believe so.

Thanks, guys.

And then as the applicant, Mario Kalina, did you have anything you wanted to say?

One of your own questions.

Okay, thank you.

Okay.

I have no one else signed to speak.

Is there anyone that wishes to?

Hearing none, I'll close this uh public hearing and seek a motion for staff recommendation.

Can I ask a question?

Yes.

The site layout has been revised to include a 12-foot-wide shared driveway for serving the the pool lot.

Per deordiner, the advocate is required to provide adequate distance space from the Gua door to allow proper vehicle or channel.

Good afternoon, Madam Chair, members of the Houston Planning Commission.

The applicant proposes 12 single family lots and two parking reserves.

The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for a type 2 PAE to be accessed by a 60-foot access easement rather than a public street.

Item 78.

Please.

I am sorry.

I need to recuse from item 78 and 79.

Okay.

So noted.

Thank you.

We would like to consider those together.

Absolutely.

Thank you, Mr.

Butler.

Bridgeland Creekland Village GP and Bridgeland Creekland Village Reserve Section 3 replat number one and an extension.

The site is located within the ETJ within Harris County, west of the Grand Parkway, and south of U.

Excuse me, U.S.

290.

The applicant proposes a general plan as requesting a variance to exceed intersection spacing along a drainage area parallel to Peak Road.

Staff is in support of the request.

The site is located within the Bridel community between Peak and Jack Roads.

The site is within a street grid to be completed with future segments of peak and a partial dedication of a local street or along the northern boundary.

The applicant is plating a pair of reserves along the eastern portion of this grid, which would be in excess of the intersection spacing requirement.

The applicant asserts that the linear drainage area complicates providing another street connection.

In addition, when completed, the grid will allow for adequate traffic circulation in lieu of an additional street through the drainage area.

Staff finds the request to be justified and recommends approval.

And we received no advanced written comment.

Thank you, Mr.

Butler.

We have no one signed to speak on this.

Is there any wishes to?

All right.

Commissioners, we're looking at 78 and 79.

Do I have a motion for staff recommendation?

Motion Sigler.

Motion Sigler.

Second colleague, all in favor?

Opposed.

Motion carries.

Item 80.

So this does not require action today because it's the 30-day extension.

It even says that, yes.

Thank you, Mr.

Butler.

Item 81.

Item 81 is Northwest Harris County Mud No.

5, Water Plant No.

The site is located within the ETJ within Harris County along Spring Cyprus, southwest of Luetta.

The applicant proposes a reserve for an existing water plant.

The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for the water plant to have uh 20 feet of frontage along Spring Cypress rather than the required 50 feet.

Staff is in support of the request.

The site is located along Little Cypress Creek, southwest of the Fairwood community.

The existing water plant has served this neighborhood since it was recorded in the 1970s.

Since this development predates Chapter 42, the water plant was constructed on an acreage tract, which was allowed at the time.

The applicant is proposing to renovate the water plant and will need the plat to conform to current rules.

The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for the site to keep the existing 20-foot frontage along Spring Cyprus.

The site is limited by its location between single-family homes and the Fairview Recreation Center.

These existing uses would not allow for easy incorporation to the reserve to provide required frontage.

In addition, the site offers paved access from Spring Cypress, which allows access to the water plant and the REC Center, similar to as intended to by Chapter 42.

Staff finds the request to be justified and recommends approval.

And we have received no advanced written comment.

Thank you, Mr.

Butler.

Commissioners, any questions?

If not, I'll seek a motion for staff recommendation.

Motion Jones?

Second to here.

All in favor?

Aye.

Opposed?

Motion carries.

Item 82.

Item 82 is Northwest Harris County Mud No.

5, Water Plant No.

3.

The site is located within the ETJ within Harris County, south of Grant and west of Telgee.

The applicant proposes a reserve for an existing water plant.

The applicant is requesting variances to exceed intersection spacing requirements by not extending urban Elm Street through the site, nor terminating it with Cal de Sac, and to use the terminus of the street for access.

Staff is in support of the request.

The site is located to the west of Grant the Grant Meadows community.

This plant has been serving the neighborhood since its construction in 2006.

The site was originally served by an access route from Section 1.

The stub street condition was created when Section 3 extended urban Elm Street along the alignment of this route.

The applicant is now required to plat due to permitting requirements as requesting a variance for this mode of access to remain.

The site features numerous existing and future access points to the surrounding street system.

In addition, the stub portion of street is only one lot deep, greatly reducing the need for vehicular turnaround on site.

Staff finds the request to be justified and recommends approval, and we have received no advanced written comment.

Thank you.

Commissioners, any questions?

If not, I'll seek a motion for staff recommendation.

Motion Baldwin.

Second Jones, all in favor?

Aye.

Opposed?

Motion carries.

Item 83.

Item 83 is Waynebeck Enterprises.

The site is located within the ETJ within Harris County along Spring Cypress west of Interstate 45.

The applicant proposes a reserve for an existing commercial use.

The applicant is requesting variances to exceed intersection spacing requirements and to not provide an east-west or north-south street.

Staff recommends deferral to allow time to coordinate with the applicant and county on possible alternatives to this request.

And we have received no advance written comment.

Thank you, Mr.

Butler.

Commissioners, any questions?

Okay.

I'm seeking a motion then for staff recommendation.

Motion colleague?

Second Matez, all in favor?

Aye.

Opposed?

The motion carries.
