13:29 You each have three minutes.
13:32 Hi, good afternoon, Council Ashley Fairman with Killing Griffin and Fairmont.
13:36 I'll keep it brief and be respectful of your time, but I'm here today on behalf of Schneider Steele, who's the applicant in the zoning case.
13:42 It is an ETJ land use plan amendment.
13:45 JBSA is not opposed.
13:47 They believe this use is compatible across from Camp Stanley.
13:50 If there are any specific questions on the project and what will be happening there, I'd be happy to come back up and answer them.
13:56 But with that, we request your support.
14:10 You have three minutes, sir.
14:16 And Council members.
14:17 Uh I'm Clifton Lewis.
14:19 I am on the uh HOA board for Lost Creek.
14:23 And I live on Mission Bluff and the proposed project.
14:27 It's going to impact the neighborhood and going to impact uh me personally and a number of residents that live on that street.
14:34 So for that reason, I am opposed to this project.
14:38 I understand it's a rebar facility.
14:41 And for a number of reasons, we live in a quiet neighborhood.
14:47 This is going to bring in Norse, which we oppose.
14:55 Uh tractors and so forth.
14:57 And we expect that there would be uh suspect there will be uh ground pollution from scrap metal.
15:04 It's going to impact uh the wildlife because there are a lot of wildlife in that area.
15:10 There's raccoons, possums, owls, coyotes, boxes, and so forth.
15:16 And it's I think also it could bring in uh crime, additional crime.
15:20 The area is already congested on Rafael Road, and we're bringing in additional vehicles and trucks.
15:28 So that's just going to make it much more difficult for residents to live there.
15:34 And if this project happens to go forward, which I hope it does not, um we are going to insist that there is noise reduction, uh, a noise reduction wall, and uh prevent runoff and pollution of the air and so forth.
15:51 So thank you for your time.
15:56 Um item number 18 is in district aid, council member Mesa Gonzalez is recognized.
16:05 Is there any further council discussion on this item?
16:07 A couple of questions.
16:10 Um, for city staff, did the military have any concerns on this?
16:14 I think I heard Ashley say something, but we received a letter of no objection from JBSA.
16:19 And will the work be done inside or can you give me kind of scope of that work?
16:23 Yeah, when uh the item was discussed at the planning commission, it was discussed that it would be inside of a contained structure.
16:28 It's not outdoor fabrication.
16:30 I Ashley may be able to speak more fully to her client, uh, but again, my understanding was it was an indoor operation.
16:39 Okay, any other further discussion on this item?
16:43 Okay, there's a motion and a second to approve item 18.
16:57 The motion carries.
16:59 That concludes today's zoning and land use session.
17:01 The time is now 2 20, and the meeting is now adjourned.
