GRIFFIN LAKE ESTATES REPRESENTED BY JACOB MARTIN TO ABANDON THE ENTIRETY OF EXISTING SCOTTISH RITE ROAD INNORTHERN ABILENE TEXAS. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, IT'S ADAM HOLLAND THE CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
THIS IS A (INDISCERNIBLE) CLOSURE APPLICATION TO ABANDON SCOTTISH ROAD BETWEEN GRIFFITH ROAD AND EAST STAMFORD STREET, THE ENTIRETY OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY BETWEEN THOSE TWO THOROUGHFARES.THIS HAS BEEN REQUESTED BY GRIFFITH LAKE ESTATES LLC AND IS REPRESENTED BY JACOB MARTIN LLC.
THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY WISHES TO REPLANT THIS PROPERTY AND REZONE IT TO ALLOW FOR GENERAL RETAIL AND MULTIFAMILY USES. HERE IS A LOCATION MAP SHOWING WHERE THE PROPOSED ABANDONMENT WILL TAKE PLACE, BETWEEN GRIFFITH ROAD AND EAST STAMFORD STREET.
HERE'S THE CURRENT ZONING MAP SHOWING EXISTING GENERAL COMMERCIAL UP NORTH AND MULTI-FAMILY AND AGRICULTURAL OPEN DISTRICT TO THE SOUTH, AS WELL AS TO THE DUE WEST.
HERE'S THE SITE EXHIBIT SHOWING THE UTILITIES EXISTING WITHIN THIS PROPERTY. THERE IS A 15 INCH SEWER MAIN WHICH RUNS ADJACENT TO SCOTTISH ROAD.
AND (INDISCERNIBLE) FIBER ALSO RUNS THROUGH THIS PARTICULAR THOROUGHFARE. HERE'S A CONCEPT PLAN, A PRELIMINARY CONCEPT PLAN, SHOWING THEIR PROPOSED -- FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT. AND HERE ARE SUBJECT VIEWS OF THE EXISTING THOROUGHFARE. CURRENTLY IT'S AN UNIMPROVED LYCHEE ROAD USE MAINLY FOR WE'VE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES FOR -- EITHER IN FAVOR OR OPPOSED. THIS HAS BEEN FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE FUTURE LAND USE DEVELOPMENT PLAN MAP. PURSUANT TO SECTION 1414 LAND CODE. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS THAT EXISTING UTILITIES SHALL BE REROUTED WITHIN ONE YEAR OR UTILITY EASEMENT WILL BE RESERVED IN THE OTHERWISE ABANDONED RIGHT AWAY.

I'M AN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. (NAME), DO YOU WANT TO COME UP? FROM THE SITE PLAN AND THOSE UTILITIES GOING THROUGH THERE, ARE YOU GONNA REROUTE THE UTILITIES?
>> YES, SIR.HE SEWER LINES CAN HAVE TO BE REROUTED.
THE DIRECTION WE GO WITH THAT SEWER LINE I'M NOT SURE JUST YET. WE'LL EITHER RUN IT DOWN THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE GC AND MULTI-FAMILY.
IN THIS ZONING CASE, YOU GUYS PROBABLY KNOW THIS, IT'S UP NEXT. WE WERE HERE A MONTH AGO.
THE PROPERTY -- WHAT CHANGED AND WHAT CAUSED US TO COME BACK TO YOU GUYS IS OUR CLIENT WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN THE FIVE ACRE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH OF SCOTTISH ROAD, WHICH ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD .WE GOT TO LOOKING AT THE LAYOUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND FELT LIKE, QUITE HONESTLY, SCOTTISH ROAD HAS BEEN ABANDONED FOR A LONG TIME NOW.
AND DIDN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TO NOT KEEP THE PUBLIC ROAD AND BUILD A DEVELOPMENT AROUND IT BUT TO GET RID OF IT. THE HOTEL PROPERTY THAT ABUTS GRIFFITH AND THEN A SMALL PORTION ON THE SOUTH SIDE HAS NO ACCESS TO THIS ROAD. ALL OF THEIR EXCESSES EITHER OF GRIFFITH OR THE FRONTAGE. YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REROUTE BOTH (INDISCERNIBLE) AND THE SEWER LINE.
AGAIN, I'M NOT CERTAIN OF THE ROUTE JUST YET.
WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT.
>> OKAY. THANKS.>> DOES THE ONE-YEAR
TIMEFRAME BOTHER YOU? >> IT DOESN'T.
WE WOULD HAVE TO RUN INTO A PRETTY BIG HICCUP FOR THAT TO BE A PROBLEM. WE ARE ACTIVELY DESIGNING AND TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD TO CONSTRUCTION THIS YEAR.

>> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? I'LL CLOSE A PUBLIC HEARING. WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION OR
EMOTION? >> I MOTION TO APPROVE WITH

[00:15:03]
MR. BARNETT IS ABSTAINING FROM THIS ITEM.CARIES. >> ZONING CASE 2022-12, CHANGE ZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 30.7 ACRES OF AGRICULTURAL OPEN SPACE AND RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY (INDISCERNIBLE) BEING THIS PROPERTY OWNS SCOTTISH ROAD THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, ADAM HOLLAND, PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR THE CITY OF ABILENE. THIS IS ANOTHER REQUEST FROM GRIFFITH LAKE ESTATES REPRESENTED BY JACOB MARTIN LLC. THIS IS REQUEST TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 27.2 ACRES OF AGRICULTURAL OPEN MULTI-FAMILY AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING TO MULTI-FAMILY IN GENERAL COMMERCIAL. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 27.2 ACRES OF VACANT LAND SOUTH OF SCOTTISH ROAD AND NORTH OF SCOTTISH ROAD BETWEEN GRIFFITH ROAD AND EAST STAMFORD STREET.
THIS PROPERTY WAS ANNEXED IN 1964 AND HAS REMAINED VACANT SINCE ANNEXATION.ERE'S A LOCATION MAP SHOWING THE EXACT WHEREABOUTS OF THIS PROPERTY. HERE'S A ZONING MAP SHOWING THE EXISTING ROADS AND ZONING NEARBY.
GRIFFITH ROAD IS A COLLECTOR ROAD WITH AGRICULTURAL OPEN AND MULTIFAMILY ZONING AND PETTY HOME ZONING TO THE SOUTH AS WELL AS GENERAL COMMERCIAL AND HEAVY COMMERCIAL TO THE NORTH AND ACROSS THE HIGHWAY. HERE'S A CONCEPTUAL PLAN SHOWING THEIR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL STOP IT WILL BE GC TO THE NORTHWEST AS WELL AS MULTIFAMILY TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THIS PROPERTY. HERE ARE THE ALLOWED USES WITHIN GC ZONING AND MULTIFAMILY ZONING.
HERE ARE VIEWS OF THE PROPERTY. CURRENTLY, IT IS VACANT LAND WITH A 100 FOOT BUFFER OF A UTILITY EASEMENT DEDICATED TO A TRANSMISSION LINE TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY.
WITH A SUPER RATE AS WELL TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE PROPERTY AS WELL. WE RECEIVED NO OPPOSITION OR IN FAVOR -- NO RESPONSES IN FAVOR AS WELL.
THIS REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN EXISTING AND PROPOSED LAND GENERALLY ACCEPTED PLANNING PRINCIPLES AND CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL SET OUT IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. STAFF RECOMMEND'S APPROVAL.
I BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FOR ME.
>> COULD HE PUT THE ZONING MAP BACK UP THERE? THAT ONE, FIRST.KAY, SO SCOTTISH ROAD, IT DOESN'T LOOK
LIKE THEY OWN ALL THE >> I DON'T THINK THEY CAN PLAT THAT HALF UNTIL THE HOTEL HAS GIVEN UP THAT HALF.
HOW LONG DOES THE HOTEL PEOPLE HAVE TO GIVE UP THAT HALF?
>> THAT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE DISCUSSED BETWEEN THOSE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS. I WOULD IMAGINE.
>> I KNOW I'M WRITING A FINE LINE HERE.
AND I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS.
SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, UNLESS SOMEONE HAS MORE QUESTION OF ADAM, WE CAN MOVE IT TO PUBLIC HEARING AND LET (NAME) COME UP.
THANKS, ADAM. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
>> MY CLIENT THE DEVELOPERS ARE READY IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE HOTEL PROPERTIES TO WORK THAT ISSUE OUT.
OBVIOUSLY OUR SITE PLAN SHOWS USING ALL OF THAT.E KNOW WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. IT WOULD REQUIRE A QUICK CLAIM TO CLAIM THE PROPERTY. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME TIMELINE REQUIREMENTS THAT IF THEY DON'T DO IT WITHIN A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME, THAT THEY CAN CLAIM THE PROPERTY.
BUT AGAIN, SOMETHING THAT WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH.
OBVIOUSLY, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY OR CAN'T GAIN THE ABILITY TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY, THEN WE CAN PLAT UP
[00:20:11]
TO THAT LINE AND WE WOULD ADJUST OUR LAYOUT.>> YOU WOULD JUST PLANT HALF THE ROAD?
>> YEAH, WE WOULD SLIDE THAT DRIVE TO THE SOUTH A LITTLE BIT AND I WERE BUILDING WITH SLIDE. SO -- IT'LL STILL WORK FOR US.
>> AND WHERE I'M AT IS RIGHT NOW, WE ARE ASKING TO ZONE MAP MULTI-FAMILY -- SHOULD IT STAY GC UNTIL ALL OF THAT HAPPENS? I KNOW THAT SHE IS SPLITTING HAIRS WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON.
>> YEAH, SO -- THAT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD QUESTION.
I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT FROM A ZONING STANDPOINT, GIVEN THE FACT THAT THAT IS GC. I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE IMPACTFUL TO OUR DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ABANDON A RIGHT-OF-WAY, YOU HAVE TWO DIFFERENT ZONINGS ON EITHER SIDE? THE ZONINGS GO TO THE CENTERLINE. AT LEAST, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. TIM CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.> YEAH, THAT WOULD BE CORRECT.
>> WE ARE DOWN ZONING SOME OF THAT FIVE ACRE TRACT STEP IT'S CURRENTLY GC TO MULTI-FAMILY. BUT THE DRIVE ITSELF IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED IN GC.
AND I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT AS WE GO DOWN
THE ROAD. >> I'M SORRY I BROUGHT IT UP!
>> NO, I'M NOT. I MEAN, IT'S A GREAT POINT.
AS FAR AS TODAY? I'VE NEVER RUN INTO THIS ISSUE WHERE THEY ARE OPPOSITE ZONINGS ON EITHER SIDE, BUT WE ARE ASKING FOR MULTI-FAMILY ACROSS THE WHOLE TRACT STEP.
>> I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM UNLESS THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT THEY DIDN'T GET THAT ROAD ABANDONED WITHIN THE YEAR, WHICH IT PROBABLY IS GOING TO BE ABANDONED.
I DON'T THINK ANY OF THAT WILL COME INTO PLAY.
OF THE ROBE IS NOT ABANDONED, I GUESS IT WOULD SLAP A ROAD IN
THE MIDDLE OF IT. >> IT SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE -- IN A YEAR TO CORRECT IT IF IT DIDN'T GET RESOLVED.
>> AND OF MY CLIENT COULDN'T GAIN ACCESS TO THAT PROPERTY, THEN IT WOULD JUST SIT AS REMAINDER TRACT OF LAND UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THE HOTEL DECIDES THEY WANT TO GET IT.
IT WOULDN'T TAKE MUCH OF ANYTHING TO ACQUIRE IT IF THEY WANTED TO. IN TERMS OF ZONING, THAT LITTLE PIECE IS GC OR MF, I DON'T THINK REALLY IMPACTS US.IF WE WERE TRYING TO SET THE BUILDING UP TO THE BUILDING LINE RIGHT THERE? THEN WE MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. BUT GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT'S CURRENTLY A DRIVE THAT CONNECTS US ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE GC, I FELT LIKE EITHER WAY, IT'S PROBABLY FINE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ABOUT THIS CASE? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. DID YOU FOLLOW MY DISCUSSION THERE REAL QUICK? I BROUGHT IT UP, BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE -- YOU KNOW, ZONING IT THE WAY IT IS HERE ON THE MAP THE WAY WE ARE LOOKING AT IT.
I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT.
I JUST THINK THERE'S A TIMING ISSUE.
WHEN THE CLAIMING OF THIS RIGHT-OF-WAY IS GOING TO BE DONE. AND SO I THINK IT'S ALL GONNA WORK ITSELF OUT (INDISCERNIBLE).
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE ALREADY TALKS ANYWAYS.
SOMETHING WILL GET WORKED OUT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
TO WAIVE IT. WE JUST KIND OF RECOMMENDING IT AND PUSHING IT THE COUNCIL. (INDISCERNIBLE).
THIS WAS BROUGHT UP AT PNC AND THEY SINCE WAIVED IT.
(INDISCERNIBLE). THAT'S A GOOD APPROACH.
>> I'M COMFORTABLE MAKING A MOTION TO APPROVE IT AS IS TO
PUSH TO COUNCIL. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> I WILL SECOND. >> AND A SECOND.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. MR. BARNETT IS ABSTAINING FROM THIS ITEM AS WELL.
CARIES. >> AND THIS WAS A MUCH SHORTER
