This was the mixed use of the concept of a coffee shop in some townhomes.

And that's really all I have that would have been approved.

Thank you, Mr.

Secretary.

Items number two and three.

Are proposing another extension, Kendall?

So we granted one to um the applicant last time or the interested parties.

I would say the first one.

So this is the applicant then.

Yes, mostly just due to getting the community together and meeting a little bit longer.

Okay.

Any questions for Kindle?

Okay.

Any speakers?

No.

I would move to the we would continue items number two and three to August 19th, 2026 meeting.

Second.

Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner Craddock.

A second by Commissioner Turner Addison.

To continue items two and three.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

And those items are continued.

Item number four.

Did you miss the minutes?

Yeah.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do I have a motion?

So move.

I move to.

I move to approve the minutes of the June 17th.

June 17th.

Okay.

We have a motion of second for the approval of item one.

All those in favor?

Opposed?

That wouldn't hear.

Okay.

One abstention.

Back on track for item four.

All right.

Item number four is a city rezoning case.

This is Z7863.

It is for a property that is about 2.25 acres, located north of East 11th Street, west of South Garnett Road.

Currently, the property is zoned, a split zoning between CS and RS 3.

The applicant is proposing to rezone that to CG, which is a commercial general zoning district.

As you can see, really within the last year, the property to the east and north was all rezoned as well to CG.

This is already a pretty established commercial corridor.

Lots of properties which probably span into the residential zoning that are out of compliance with the existing zoning on those properties.

However, the comprehensive plan does designate the corridor as an employment district, which is supportive of a more higher intensity commercial district like a CG zoning that allows some light industrial as well as some warehousing, and that's part of the proposal that this applicant has is an office warehouse type use to be utilized at this location.

As you can see on the east side, there's a significant kind of outdoor sales and pools, uh operation, and then to the west, there's a significant kind of vehicle maintenance and some other things.

I can't really explain from the aerial photo.

But overall, the CG zoning we find to be consistent with the development and the anticipated development of the area, and we've recommended approval.

Any questions for Nathan?

Thanks, sir.

Sure.

Is the applicant here?

Are you in agreement with staff recommendation?

Okay.

We do not have any speakers.

Move to approve item number four for staff recommendation.

We have a motion by Commissioner Craddock, a second by Commissioner Shivill for the approval of item four for staff recommendation.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

And that item is approved.

Item number five.

Item five is another city rezoning case, Z seven eight six four.

Um this one's for a 6.3 acre property that's just west of North Peoria Avenue and north of East 46th Street North.

The request is to rezone the property from RS3 to RM3 for a proposed multifamily residential development.

As you can see, this property is fairly isolated from the existing single family development that's occurred around it.

There's a significant stormwater channel that kind of flows along the south and west sides of the property, and it abuts the rear yards of the existing single family to its north.

Access to the property would be derived from the arterial street, which is East 46th Street North.

It has really great proximity to some alternative transportation.

It is adjacent to the OCH trail and is within walking distance to North Peoria Avenue where we have the bus rapid transit line.

So we find this to be a very appropriate place for a new multifamily development.

And it is consistent with the land use, so we've recommended approval of the rezoning.

Thank you, Nathan.

Any questions for Nathan?

Yeah, Gene?

I don't know if my question is for you or the applicant, but uh look, I saw somewhere I think in the traffic impact analysis reference to 112 units.

Is that correct?

We know it's just like town homes or apartment building or believe it's all low-rise multifamily based on what we have seen.

Uh the applicant may have additional details about the layout, but 112 is the uh just based on what you read in the packet is what we had.

So cool.

Yeah, I'd be interested to hear from the applicant kind of proposal.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Is the applicant here?

Would you like to come up?

Please give your name and address.

Brian Green at 7301 South 81st West Place, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Uh, the applicant on this property.

Uh yeah, applying for a hundred and twelve unit apartment complex might do in phases, probably two-story building.

Uh walk up, walk up style apartments, is what we're looking at right now.

So, one building or multiple.

Multiple buildings, multiple buildings, yeah.

Probably like eight units per building.

Okay.

So, yeah, cool.

So the rental, presumably, then yeah, not subdividing.

Yeah, okay, cool.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Okay.

Any more questions for the applicant?

Thank you, sir.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

We do not have any speakers.

I'll move to approve item number five pursuant to staff recommendation.

Second.

Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner Bullmash, a second by Commissioner Humphreys for the approval of item five per staff recommendation.

All those in favor, opposed, and that item is approved.

Item six.

Item six is another city rezoning Z 7865.

Um this is for a property that's just under an acre.

It's located at the northwest corner of East 31st Street South and South Sandusky Avenue.

Uh, the request is to rezone the property from OM to CA or I'm sorry, CS to permit commercial development on the site.

Uh this one's a bit unusual because if you're familiar with the property, uh it's already a commercial development.

Uh there's a true value or at least there was a true value hardware store, along with a little bit of a strip commercial center with several commercial uses in it.

If I were driving by, I probably would have guessed it was already zoned CS.

Um so we found that the zoning request is consistent with the land use, which already calls this a multiple use.

It's also consistent with the historic use of the property and is probably the more appropriate district.

And so we've recommended approval.

Okay, any questions for Nathan?

Thanks, sir.

Is the applicant here?

Are you in agreement with staff recommendation?

Okay, we are in review.

No members, no uh no, no speakers.

Thank you.

I would move to approve item number six for staff recommendation.

Second.

Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner Craddock, a second by Commissioner Bullmash for the approval of item six per staff recommendation.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

And that item is approved.

Item number seven, item number seven, uh, city rezoning.

This is under Z 7867.

This is for roughly 3.1 acres of property.

It's actually 11 different properties located on the west side at the northeast corner of West 37th Place and South Galveston Avenue.

The request is to rezone these properties from RS3 to IM to support a major utility use.

Some of you may remember a very similar case to this on the south side of West 37th place that occurred just with probably within the last year.

This is an extension of that ongoing project that seeks to utilize some of these properties for a battery storage facility that will serve or I suppose will be connected into the PSO substation that's there on the west side of the river.

The land use plan calls this entire area an employment district.

As there are some residents in the area, the applicant has done a pretty good job of engaging with the surrounding neighbors and talking about this project to the point that we really haven't heard much at all on the previous case or on this one.

The IM zoning is consistent with the employment land use designation, and we have recommended approval of the rezoning from RS3 to IM.

Okay, thank you, Nathan.

Any questions for Nathan?

Okay.

Is the applicant here?

Are you in agreement with staff recommendation?

Okay.

Well, hold on, we do have a speaker.

Um, I'll I'll have you back up.

Um, Anna Barrows.

Anna, sorry.

Please give us your name and address.

Hi everyone, my name is Anna Barros.

Uh my address is on the paper.

I have to say it to everybody here.

Please.

Okay.

1719 East Woodrow Street, uh 74110.

Um, I'm I'm here because um a sign was put up in this neighborhood um in a lot across the street from my partner's family's home that indicated that this was a you know up for rezoning.

Um and so we wanted to come here and learn more about the intention of this plan um to share a little bit about this neighborhood that we're talking about here.

Um there are at least six kids that live on this street.

In fact, the sign that was put on this lot, the lot is full of kids' toys, um, you know, bikes.

Uh like there are families um living with limited incomes in um on this street.

I think we all nobody's under the illusion that this is you know a truly residential area.

Um, however, I do uh want to speak to the fact that there are families for whom the only affordable choice was um and is to live in this area, and so eleven homes being rezoned means six kids, multiple families um who have had very limited choices and are now uh likely going to lose their homes to an out of state developer.

Um so I I would just urge the commission to consider uh the impact and to perhaps um continue a discussion or an investigation into uh the actual impact to the neighborhood.

I also, if this does go through, would be deeply concerned about the ability to build a battery storage facility across the street, um, like immediately across the street from families that are still going to be living there, right?

Because the rezoning is in this southern end of the street to the north of that are families, including my my partner's 15 year old brother who goes to school um in Berry Hill and who already has limited opportunities due to uh the systems at play.

So that's why I'm here is to share uh the human impact of this decision and urge the commission to not take it lightly and to perhaps even take longer uh to consider accepting um or passing the proposal.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, okay.

Tyler Musselworth.

You just said my name is Tyler Musselworth.

I live at 3701 South Galveston.

I own four of the lots out of these parcels that they're asking to rezone.

Coincidentally, I actually am the father to four of the six kids she's talking about.

Though I cannot speak to anything being my yard as I spend all day in my yard cleaning it.

Um what I can tell you is this company has done an amazing job of going through meeting with each person as we go through and talking about it, and not only coming through planning to rezone, but actually making sure we have places to go.

Uh funny she spoke on burial.

I've been a burial firefighter for the last 13 years.

I've already lined up to purchase a property in Berry Hill as they're taking care of all these owners.

To my knowledge of all the owners of property in the area, there are two with children.

Myself and my cousin who owns all the properties across the street for three lots next to mine.

Um there are one on the edge, Living Yellow House.

So she spoke to uh that property is owned by a company out of Durango, Colorado.

I know because I have tried to purchase it over the last eight years several times.

Uh I think this company has done an upstanding job of taking care of the citizens and making sure not only are we paid appropriately, but we find places to go and that we can move in.

Uh it's been no secret that the commission's plan for the area that we are in has been either industrial or commercial.

Uh the refineries purchase most of the land back there, and it's slowly become that as it goes.

My family has been there for the last 50 years since 1973 is when that property was purchased by my grandparents.

And I can tell you that I am in full support of approval of this.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Will they have to like to come up?

Please give your name and address.

And the address for that company is 988 Howard Avenue Suite 200, Burlingame, California 94010.

Um yeah, certainly uh I appreciate both of the speakers today and it is our intent to work carefully and closely with all of the residents in this area.

And in fact, um you've noticed this has been phased, and so the purpose of that has been to take things and paste them in in a in a way that we can work with each and every individual in the area.

Uh our intent is to make contact um with all of the residents and potentially rezone the rest of the residential and to help give them a good rate uh and uh we have a local broker helping uh the the properties that we have under purchase option for them to find another place to live and to we've um hired a broker that is um we're paying to uh we're for no fee to the residents to help find another place and give them an affordable rate where they can buy another home, and so it's really just a function of a phased approach right now where we're trying to take this one step at a time, and um it's a big um undertaking, quite frankly, to to take these blocks of land, and so um we have this is the second phase.

Um, and so um our and I and I appreciate Tyler speaking because um I think that's just um reflective of of our process that we've taken with the landowners.

Um any questions?

MSQ.

Uh since I know that we're like, yeah, how many houses will be today?

Is there should be there's not that many.

There's no, there's not very many.

Um so yeah, yeah.

Correct, yeah.

So um to actually, yeah, the if the map will help me a little bit, but um there's I believe five parcels just to the west of this that are right up to the railroad track, and um, yes, and then there's um maybe five or six up north of there, but you know, one landowner that we're in discussions with has 1.4 acres there, so a a large tract.

I think that line at all.

So it's thank you a lot.

Yes, yes.

I understand that.

So it's really a function of um first and foremost the landowner's desire to sell, um and to give them a fair price, right?

And then, um, and then also to help them to to find somewhere that works for them and and um and definitely a price that's not the assessed value, right?

Because that wouldn't if you're familiar with this area as the first speaker spoke, that would not um work in terms of being able to find another property.

Thanks.

Any more questions for the applicant?

Yeah, Gene.

Yeah, um, thank you for the information.

And I think Nathan mentioned the property of the South went through a similar rezoning, and so you mentioned this is phase two.

You haven't started construction or anything.

Uh acquisition planning stages, so like time frame roughly five years, ten years, a year.

What are you thinking about?

So so we're working with with AEP PSO, and so it's a function of of working with them on timelines there, um several years definitely, and we're also working uh with the city of Tulsa on floodplain management as well, as you may be familiar with this area.

So um this is really just the very beginning and then and I you know from a land use planning perspective, uh it would be my hope that that all of the residents would want to sell and that we could, you know, do the right thing for everyone.

So that 100%.

Cool, thank you.

And then the plan, uh I think it was like battery storage or something, right?

Was a description, which doesn't mean anything to me, but like is it's like it's gonna be a building with everything that's done internally or is it gonna be like a power station where stuff is outside, you can just do it.

It would be internal.

Well, well, I mean it's it's it you know, these are connects, so they're the the their structures that are the everything's internal to the structure, but not a building that covers those so it's kind of look they look like yeah, exactly.

Yeah, they look like kind of like uh the back of uh an 18 wheeler, if you will.

If you think about like a block and like so, but then also um, you know, we are in the process of working through an RFP with AEP, and so a lot of that is a two-way street in terms of ultimately what will be designed for what they need to to effectively just to provide greater liability and harden the the grid.

Cool, thank you.

Any other questions?

I just was uh want to say thank you for you know the company going above and beyond and reaching out to uh the homeowners, that's kind of what we need nowadays.

Uh a lot of these uh projects couldn't be very vol volatile uh with a lot of misunderstanding, so the but the personal uh attention given to the property owners, I really do appreciate.

You're welcome.

And I and I absolutely respect and understand the concerns and um and it, you know, these are people's lives, right?

And I absolutely respect that.

So I think it's just but we have to things have to go in at a certain pace because it's just a lot to take on, and that's why we're coming in and in a phased approach.

Okay.

Nathan, maybe this is actually for you, but what are the like requirements or additions that you would have to to protect the fact that there are still ha homes there?

Um, to the speaker who spoke at the beginning, like how could they be involved in that kind of planning process to ensure that like while some homes might be going away, the ones that are there still feeling.

Yeah, so um so uh I'll throw some acronyms at you which will be um but so there's um the National Fire Protection Code, so N FPA 855 is what governs um these battery energy storage facilities.

Um I was involved in passing legislation this past session, um, the Oklahoma session, which basically enacted that all um actors that do battery energy storage in Oklahoma will have to file that national fire protection code.

Um and that code is provides for site-specific um assessment of setbacks, things of that nature, and and the projects have to follow absolutely that code and now it's actually law.

Um and there also is a process involved for education of the fire department.

We have already met with Tulsa Fire Department, which we always do well before we would knock on any doors ever because um it's important from community relations and also for working with them.

This is right outside of Berry Hill Fire Department's um zone, right?

So it would be Tulsa County Fire Department, but um but yeah, all of that is defined and um and and followed.

Uh and so basically it comes down to what that code is and and following that code to a T.

Okay.

Thank you.

Anybody else?

Thank you.

Okay, thank you very much.

We are in review.

I would move to approve item number seven per staff recommendation.

We have a motion by Commissioner Craddock, a second by Commissioner Q for the approval of item seven per staff recommendation.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

And that item is approved.

Number eight.

If it's okay with you, I'll talk about eight and nine together.

So this is a city rezoning as well as a comprehensive plan amendment for property located at the southeast corner of East 101st Street, South and South Florence Avenue.

For some of you, this project or this site may look familiar.

Um it went through a little bit of a process last year where an applicant sought to rezone this piece of property from its existing RS3 and AG to OL.

And they also changed the land use at that time from neighborhood to multiple use to support that proposal.

Ultimately, that proposal was denied by the city council after a lot of iterations, different things were were taken into account.

It was quite a story.

But overall, that project did not move forward.

So today what we have is a request to rezone the property from AG and RS3 to RS4 with an optional development plan uh to support the development of a new single family subdivision with gated private streets.

Um the applicant, I believe you all have received a copy, provided a layout that you all can review to show what their intended use of this property is.

They have also conducted their own public engagement.

I believe in the email that uh Mr.

INYARC sent us, they they had a meeting last night with some of the neighborhood residents to discuss their intended use of the property.

Um and if you were involved at all in the previous discussions around this property, single family residential was always at the top of the desires from the surrounding neighborhoods, and so I think that this proposal certainly aligns more with with what those goals were for the neighbors.

Um it is intended to be a private street, which um oftentimes you'll find you know the planning staff, we do have some concerns about private streets.

However, at this particular context, uh to the immediate south of this property is an existing gated neighborhood that has no connections to this property.

Uh to the east is a significant floodway and creek uh where there is also no opportunities for connection or or any sort of accessibility to that area.

Um and then to the west and north, it's obviously already bound by public streets.

So in this particular context, we were supportive of the optional development plan.

We also believe RS4 to be an appropriate zoning district, which allows down to a minimum of a 50 foot wide lot.

Uh however, the exhibit that you've been presented shows that they would like to stick primarily to a 60 foot wide lot, and I think maybe just a few of the lots would dip slightly below that.

So uh overall, uh the request is to revert the land use back from multiple use to neighborhood, um which we have recommended approval of, and the request is to rezone to RS4 with an optional development plan, which we have also recommended approval of.

Happy to answer any questions.

Any questions for Nathan?

Gene.

Yes, I have a couple questions.

Um the 8.5, and can you pull that map up?

Look the parcel to the south looks like kind of a long narrow lot.

Is that looks like maybe a home or two?

Is that what I think?

Yeah, there is an existing home that is on the front edge of Florence there, and then a fairly large shop garage building uh in the back of that property.

Um it's still zoned AG, which is allowed to have a larger accessory building like that.

However, the gate for the southern neighborhood is actually at that north end of that property.

So it's drive and everything is behind that gate as well.

Okay, interesting.

Um, okay, cool.

Yeah, I think that's about it.

Thanks, Nathan.

Yep, sure.

Is the applicant here?

Are you in agreement with staff recommendation?

Okay, thank you very much.

We do not have any speakers.

Oh, sorry, I have one more question.

Maybe I'm not sure to who, but has this been discussed with uh council members recently?

Like this proposal, is there a buy-in support objection?

That was part of the problem last time, I think.

So I hate to make the same up down process if we can avoid it.

Thank you.

I'm Eric Annyard with Tanner Consulting at 5323 South Lewis Avenue in Tulsa.

Uh we represent the owner of the property who has just purchased it.

Uh to answer your question, uh, Mr.

Dawson has communicated to me that he has been in communication with the ward counselor to make sure that uh not only did we reach out to the neighborhood, but that we did so in a in a timely family timely manner to allow for that to occur before this planning commission hearing.

And that was yesterday.

Any other questions?

Did you reach out to just the counselor for this property?

Or multiple counselors.

I only know of his communication with counselor Lake and Okay.

Any other questions?

Thank you, sir.

Thank you all for your time.

Thank you.

No speakers, you said.

No speakers.

Move to approve item number eight for staff recommendation.

Second.

Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner Craddock, second by Commissioner Bullmash for the approval item eight for staff recommendation.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

And that item is approved.

You'll do nine two, Mike.

Okay, uh, well, item number nine.

Second.

Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner Craddock, second by Commissioner Bullmash for the approval of item nine per staff recommendation.

All those in favor?

Opposed, and that item is approved.

Uh good afternoon.

Item number ten is a minor uh subdivision plat.

And so this property may seem familiar.

Um it's the location of Tulsa Classical Academy, located north of the northeast corner of South Sheridan and East 101st Street South.

Um the property was approved for preliminary plat, and that approval was extended.

Um they had gotten accelerated building permits through some process the plat never got filed, and so at this point in time their original preliminary plat has expired, and we are requesting they move forward to get the plat filed to cover all the city easements and right-of-way dedications um as a part of that.

Um the city has approved the infrastructure as approved.

Um the plat as shown.

Um you do have an email from a neighbor um with photos uh showing issues with stormwater.

Um just as a note, I did reach out to our stormwater quality uh division at the city of Tulsa and they were at the site last week and issued them notices of violation related to their erosion controls on the site, which are to be remediated.

So at this point, that process is working through on that end with regard to the plat.

Um I mean, staff would recommend that we we move forward um mainly because if the city does have to do any type of remediation, this gives us the easements to be able to get on site to do said uh remediation.

Any questions for Austin?

Thanks, sir.

Is the applicant here?

No.

Okay, we do have two two speakers.

Cyril DeLap?

I was elected.

Hi, I'm Cyril DeLapp.

I live at 6732 East 97th Street in South Tulsa.

My home, I'm an original home builder in the neighborhood.

There's 47 homes.

Uh I will be followed by my good neighbor, Janetta.

Uh, because our homes back right up to the uh northeast, right?

Yes, the northeast, yeah.

Northeast side.

Uh, and thank you, Austin.

Finally, after three years, we've had somebody come out from the city.

Uh I've been working, we have been working with Phil Lake and our counselor for three years with no action in terms of the engineering that went into uh the school development and building.

Uh it's 18 inches higher than the city plat.

It was never intended to be that high.

The fire marshal had to grant them a variance because he demanded three entrances for the school off of Sheridan off of our street and then one coming in from the north neighborhood.

They couldn't get an ambulance up that incline um and so they were granted a variance.

They also covered up the only drainage pipe for that property which was a um a writing stable and they covered it up and so you can imagine going from flat to 18 inches high how much water even though they put a retention pond how much water flows down through uh that area uh on rain has caused material uh damage to my yard and Janetta's yard in particular we also had washouts from homes uh up the street from me and uh they never did put in um even the simplest of um uh what do you call those drain systems that can handle that flow water there's nowhere for that water to go originally there was uh and it still is buried a drainage pipe that was probably two feet in diameter uh that's not even available so if the if the uh retention pond's not capturing it right it just comes into our yard and then they they had been in violation of the city code about maintaining proper drainage and protection for the three years.

Um I had put in a for my own purpose I'd had some drainage in my backyard so I put a river rock in now a third of that is covered with sand is just all come down and and I've had to put additional rock in there and it gets covered.

So anyway I'm not objecting to the school it's a beautiful asset to the community even even though it serves eighty-four zip codes and not just the 52 in the city of Tulsa.

I just want them to do their job right so I'm asking that you know until they remediate the drainage no further action should you know be afforded that's my request.

Thank you from your time.

Thank you.

Janetta Maxwell Hi, my name is Janetta Maxwell.

My address is 9709 South 68 East Avenue and I won't go all in uh with what Dee has already said but I will say that um as he said we have contacted Phil Lakin several times.

Uh he came out with a a person that was a city engineer.

However there was no follow up on that and we have since learned that the city engineer has retired.

Uh we did get a message about uh him coming out again with someone with the city but they have not confirmed uh the date Dee and I both told them we are available any time that they want to come out and as D said our yards are being washed away with that there's been a couple of companies that have come out and done and did construction.

The second company that came out uh before they rectify the problem just a little bit it was so bad that they had to follow the sand all the way to the drainage system and t and dig the sand out of the drainage system and that's how bad it was and that was several houses down from mine because I'm actually on the dead end.

And that water if you uh I as I had told the school before if you go out in real time and I know you don't want to go out in the rain but it's my property and I will go out in the rain.

And so the uh information that I sent to the council that I was standing in the rain and you can see where that water is coming from.

It's not just coming from the retention pond.

It's actually creating almost like rivers uh in the in the uh property itself.

That property is not maintained.

Uh it it's horribly maintained.

It's trash all over the place.

Uh uh yeah they there's on the back side of it they do not mow it.

Grass is yay high.

They'll do the front side of it.

But on the back side where my house is yay high.

And and uh and they've put down side the side is not taking because it is washing away.

They washing away the side they're putting down side they put down side uh in my yard wrong time of the year and it didn't take but it's uh I have about three areas of my fence where it actually f floods and when it's raining it's piles of sand and you can see you can see it coming straight down from the school.

So thank you for your time.

Thank you Miss Maxwell.

Yeah, Tini.

Since he uh applicants, or here can I ask you a question?

Sure, yes ma'am did you say there were two other houses that even got worse?

Well they had their yards washed away um west of me up the hill and west yeah and uh they they're a little flatter at at that sign um because the neighborhood slopes um and so the water they're planning to build additionally they're planning to build a uh gymnasium on the southwest side impacting the other neighborhood um and that's why we were concerned that if they don't do proper planning and engineering it's gonna it's just gonna flow it's gonna exacerbate the issue yeah.

I hate to tell you something of your homes but uh the city when this happens I've had the city have to buy several homes in that not your direct area but in the city of Tulsa what caused the flooding because they can't do anything so uh hopefully we can get this resolved.

Yeah they should I I'm just pleased to hear that we've got a great planning department.

I mean they don't even maintain I mean it didn't even include you know the city code requires them uh property owners maintain trees diseased and dead trees well Janetta's fence was crushed because they didn't remediate a tree just two months ago and then the neighbor directly up from me and my next door neighbor his his whole back fence was crushed by a tree.

Course the typical response is well that's an act of God.

Well no it's not if you're not removing the limbs and the dead trees and they fall on somebody else's property.

He just doesn't have the money to sue them.

Um so anyway thank you can I and I know you guys are great.

How do you look at that because I know in my previous district we bought several houses out because this so what I will say with with the application in front of you right now to be frank I think it was an oversight that the plot was never filed and so at this point we are trying to get it filed and get right away dedicated but also the east men to cover their stormwater detention area.

If the city does have to go in and remediate that the city can do that and then put a lien on the property to charge them.

I don't have a solid answer on what's going on.

I know our stormwater quality folks have been out to look at the erosion control.

It's also possible sediment has flooded um where their stormwater detention is and that's causing it to overflood and it needs to be washed out and what I can say moving forward from here is I'll be in contact with Michael Skates uh director of development services about building permits issued which is where that stuff can come in review but also he can get his inspectors on the construction site uh to do thorough instruction thorough inspections to make sure it's being followed.

And I would call the council office because Phil liken does care about the residents and stuff.

So he Yeah it sometimes it gets it's lost in his but I'm sure he he is concerned if he sees what Mr.

Eddie said he get you know, with all the development, you get a little overwhelmed, so don't let him forget it.

Austin, did the applicant say he couldn't be here today.

I I don't have an answer for that.

Um I s I sent him the comments also that we received, so I mean this is what it seems like to me.

It seems like there's a the history of not following drawings being violation of some sort of code or or something like that.

Uh in then not filing the plat.

Like that was just kind of an oversight on their on their part and and then not show up to the Yes.

I I guess I I if not have and then have in my capacity as a city I haven't been to that specific part of the property, so I'm not gonna say in terms of violation.

We can also have have adjacent neighbors here that are upset because things that aren't being followed or affecting their their property.

Uh I mean what happens if we don't issue this plat?

What happens if we continue this to time in which they can be here and answer some questions for us or we have a more solid understanding of what's gonna happen to rectify the issue?

It would delay the plat filing by two weeks.

So I don't know that it really has a big major negative effect on them.

So regardless of the action, I will follow up with development services about um their water drainage sewage plans um for any additions they're planning.

So can we do that?

Uh, yes, I think that the adjacent owners have taken their time to be here and the people that are asking for this aren't.

So yep.

I don't know if that's a movement or if we just move to continue.

Okay.

Then I would move to that we continue this.

To Kim, what date?

It's July 15th.

And before we vote, if I could just uh recommend to the neighbors, if you haven't already, call three one one and code enforcement so grass is yay high and they're not picking up trash, that's a violation of our city code, and we should be able to go out there and again I think um Austin indicated if we go out there and issue a citation and they don't do it, the city will go do it and then it put a lien on the property for doing it.

So um 311.

Really appreciate that much.

Uh we have a motion by Commissioner Hood, a second by Commissioner Turner Addison to continue item 10 to July 15th.

All those in favor?

And that item is continued.
