[00:10:05]
MY NAME IS KELSEY WILLIAMS. I OWN GEO TECH PROPERTY SOLUTIONS, THE LAND SURVEYING COMPANY THAT'S DOING THE PLAT FOR THIS PROPERTY FOR THE STRAHNS.THE ONLY THING I WAS GOING TO ADD IS THAT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, HE'S I THINK MERELY WANTING TO ADD IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PROPERTY AND JOIN TWO -- HE OWNS ONE LOT IN A PARTIAL LOT AND IN ORDER TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT, HE NEEDS TO COMBINE THAT INTO ONE PROPERTY. AND THAT'S WHAT TRIGGERED THE ZONING BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT'S ZONED RIGHT NOW, THE AGRICULTURE, SO THAT'S REALLY ALL I KNOW ABOUT IT.
THAT HE'S WANTING TO, YOU KNOW, ADD IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EXISTING RESIDENCE AND THAT'S THE REASON THAT TRIGGERED THIS.
>> WHAT TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS? >> EXCUSE ME?
>> WHAT TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT? >> THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S A SHOP OR A SHED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
ANY TYPE OF BUILDING PERMIT WOULD TRIGGER THE REPLAT WHICH THEN TRIGGERS THE ZONING CHANGE REQUEST.
ARE THERE TWO NOW? >> IT'S A LOT AND A HALF.
>> SO HE'S GOT BOUNDARY ISSUES PROBABLY IF HE'S GOING TO PUT A
SHOP IN OR SOMETHING. >> YEAH.
HE WASN'T ABLE TO OBTAIN A BUILDING PERMIT BECAUSE IT IS A LOT AND A HALF TRIGGERING THE REPLAT TO COMBINE INTO ONE LOT.
>> OKAY. TO MY UNDERSTANDING HE'S NOT PLANNING ON --
NO. >> YOU'RE PLATTING ONE AND A HALF LOTS INTO ONE LOT. NOT ONE LOT INTO THREE.
>> TURNING IT INTO ONE LOT TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT TO, YOU KNOW, AN OUTBUILDING OF SOME SORT.
ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS FOR KELSEY? THANK YOU.
>> MR. JOHNSTON, DOES THAT ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ALSO? HE'S COMBINING A LOT AND A HALF INTO ONE LOT.
>> YES, SIR. THAT HELPS ME RIGHT NOW.
>> COME ON BACK UP TO THE MIC.
THAT DOES HELP ALLY SOME OF MY CONCERNS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> DO YOU KNOW THEM, SIR?
>> YES AND THEY'RE FINE FOLKS. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING SO
I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
MR. JOHNSTON MENTIONED A VRBO. CAN THEY DO THAT WITHOUT DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL?
>> CURRENTLY THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE AN ORDNANCE IN PLACE FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS. AS FAR AS I'M AWARE.
>> WE'VE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? THIS DOES NOT SHOW IT'S TWO LOTS. IT SHOWS A LOT AND HALF A LOT.
>> YEAH. AND I LOOKED AT IT ON GIS AND IT DIDN'T APPEAR THAT WAY EITHER BUT KELSEY IS THE SURVEYOR AND
KNOWS WHAT'S THERE. >> I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY IT'S NOT SHOWN THAT WAY. VERY BEING I BET THIS WAS MORE OF A HASSLE THAN THEY ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE WHEN
THEY GET A BUILDING PERMIT. >> HAVE TO GET SOMETHING DONE.
>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I'LL SECOND.
>> MOTION AND A SECOND. >> MOTION AAPPROVE CARRIES.

THERE IS A SNOW CONE STAND TO THE NORTH AND A LAUNDRY MAT AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE TO THE NORTH AS WELL. WE SENT NOTIFICATIONS OUT TO A 200-FOOT BUFFER AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSES.
HERE IS A CONCEPTUAL PLAN SHOWING THE PROPOSED SELF-STORAGE UNIT. I'M HP PI TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS Y'ALL HAVE. >> SO WHEN YOU SAY ALL THE DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS WE'LL HAVE A GR BASED ZONING AND SO THAT PD WILL HAVE THE BUFFER REQUIREMENTS FOR A GR UP AGAINST THE RESIDENTIAL SECTIONS THERE IS THE IS THAT
>> THAT'S HOW THAT WORKS? >> THIS ALSO BRINGS UP ANOTHER QUESTION, ADAM. MAYBE IT'S NOT SOMETHING -- THERE'S TWO THINGS HERE. GC, STORAGE UNITS ARE ALLOWED IN
I THINK SO. >> BUT -- I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S FAIR TO JUMP GC OVER GR AND PUT IT BACK BLIND THE GR SO I DON'T THINK -- BUT WE'RE TRYING -- WE'RE TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM PDS AND SO I UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR THE PD IN THIS.
SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT LOOK AT IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND IT'S PROBABLY BEEN LOOKED AT MAYBE NOT BUT TIM ADDING A CONDITIONAL USE FOR STORAGE UNITS AND GR MT. SOMETHING WORTH LOOKING AT IN THE FUTURE. ANYWAY, THAT'S MY SOAP BOX ON THAT SUBJECT. THANK YOU, ADAM.
