AND WE HAVE THE ZONING MAP WITH AGRICULTURAL OPEN SURROUNDING. HERE WE HAVE THE SITE LAYOUT. THEY ARE DOING IT IN PHASES. THIS IS WHAT IS PROPOSED FOR PHASE ONE. I'M THEN HERE WE HAVE THE SITE LAYOUT OF THE FULL BUILD. HERE WE HAVE SOME VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND A COUPLE OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
WE SENT OUT NOTIFICATIONS WITH IN A 200 FOOT BUFFER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES AND WE RECEIVED ZERO IN FAVOR AND ZERO OPPOSED. THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

>> I LIVE ABOUT -- MY PROPERTY IS ABOUT A HALF A MILE FROM
THIS PROPERTY WEST. >> CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR
ADDRESS? >> 15 415 COUNTY ROAD 341.
>> THANK YOU. >> FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THE
[00:10:03]
DAMAGE IT WOULD COST TO MY PROPERTY IS THAT IT WOULD DECREASE THE VALUE. THAT IS WHY I AM AGAINST THIS. ANOTHER THING, I DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE ALLOWED TO ASK YOU ALL>> DO YOU HAVE A REQUIREMENT TO NOTIFY , LIKE WITH THE SIGN HERE, A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS AHEAD OF THIS MEETING?
>> RANDY, WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF DAYS AHEAD OF THE MEETING?
>> 10 DAYS. >> IT IS ALSO A 200 FOOT BUFFER. YOU MAY BE OUTSIDE THE BUFFER IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE.
>> THERE IS TWO HOUSES INSIDE. >> THOSE ARE ALLSTATE REQUIREMENTS. WE JUST FOLLOW THE STATE REQUIREMENTS.
>> THAT SIGN HAS NOT BEEN UP . I HAVE A PICTURE OF IT ON THE GROUND. THE REASON YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT GETTING A RESPONSE IS THE SIGN IS NOT UP. I WOULD SAY THAT NOTIFICATION HAS NOT BEEN MADE EXCEPT BY YOUR MAIL OUT TO YOUR TWO PROPERTIES. WE WENT AND HANDED OUT STUFF TO NEIGHBORS TO LET THEM KNOW BUT WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT AND TELL MY WIFE GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT THE SIGN LAYING ON THE GROUND TO KNOW WHAT IT SAID.
THEN I WENT AND PICKED IT UP AND TOOK A PICTURE THIS MORNING TO BRING IT UP TO YOU. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE REQUIRED -- YOU JUST PUT UP AND DOES NOT MATTER IF IT FALLS DOWN. IT IS
STILL NOTIFICATION? >> THOSE SIGNS ARE IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS THE REQUIRED STATE THING.
>> THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED. >> THE PREVIOUS MAYOR SAW THAT AND SAID WE SHOULD DO THAT TOO BUT THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THE NORMAL NOTIFICATION THAT WE ALREADY DO.
>> YOU'RE ONLY REQUIRED TO NOTIFY THE TWO PROPERTIES.
>> YES. >> NO. MY BIGGEST DEAL IS I DON'T WANT THIS NEAR MY PROPERTY. I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT ANYONE WOULD I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO FIND ANY DATA THAT SAYS AN RV PARK INCREASES THE VALUE OF NEIGHBORHOOD
ABOUT THREE HOURS AGO. I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO WRITE A FEW THINGS DOWN. I KNOW HAVE THREE MINUTES AND I WILL GO
THROUGH THIS QUICK >> SIR, WE NEED YOUR NAME AND
ADDRESS. >> MY NAME IS DENNY WRIGHT. I LIVE AT 8526 WEST LAKE ROAD. ABILENE, TEXAS.
>> THANK YOU. >> ALL OF THIS LAND OUT THERE IN THIS AREA , WE DRIVE UP AND DOWN. WE TAKE CARE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IF WE SEE PEOPLE BRING TRASH OUT, WE PICK IT UP.
WE TRY TO KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN. SOME OF THIS LAND, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS EXACTLY THE WHEN I AM THINKING OF BUT SOME OF IT HAS A LAKE ON THE BACKSIDE OF IT. IT IS DOWN TO THE WEST. YOU CAN JUST WALK DOWN TO THE LAKE. BACK IN THE '70S, THEY DID AWAY WITH ALL THE TRAILER HOUSES OUT AT FORT FAMILY. THEY SAID NO MORE TRAILER HOUSES. WE WANT TO BUILD GOOD STRUCTURES BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH STUFF GOING ON THERE. THEY SAID THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. THIS PROPERTY, IF IT IS THE SAME PROPERTY, IT DOES CONNECT TO THE LAKE. IF IT CONNECTS TO THE LAKE AND THEY PUT TRAILER HOUSES ON IT, DOES THAT MEAN WE CAN PUT THEM ALL OVER THE LAKE? IT IS ADJOINING,
IT TOUCHES THE LAKE. >> THIS IS A CONDITIONAL USE FOR THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. IT HAS NO EFFECT ON ANY OTHER
PIECE OF PROPERTY. >> OKAY. THE SITTING -- CITY PLANNING AND ZONING REQUIRES CERTAIN THINGS FOR TRAILERS HERE IN ABILENE . WE HAVE TO HAVE CURB AND GUTTER, A PAVED STREET , A LOT OF OUR ROADS ARE DIRT ROADS. IF THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN ON THESE COUNTY ROADS , 341 OR WHATEVER, AND THEY GET OVER TO WHERE THE PROPERTY IS, DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE CURB AND GUTTER? IS THE CITY GOING TO GO AHEAD OR THE ACCOUNTING GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PAVE THE ROADS? BECAUSE THEY ARE DIRT ROADS. THE CITY PLANNING AND ZONING, YOU HAVE TO HAVE STRICT CERTAIN STIPULATIONS ON WHEN YOU HAVE A TRAILER PARK IN , IN
THE CITY. >> WE ARE DISCUSSING, IS THIS A GOOD CONDITIONAL USE OF PURPOSE PIECE OF PROPERTY ? WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING THE OVERALL CONFIGURATION. IT DOESN'T
FRONT WEST LAKE ROAD. >> IT BRINGS TO MIND IS SOMETHING WE ARE CONCERNED WITH. IF YOU TAKE OUR COUNTY ROADS, WHICH WE TRIED TO GET GREAT EVERY NOW AND THEN, YOU PUT 50 MORE CARS ON IT WERE ALSO HAVING TROUBLE SOME OF THE TIME. I KNOW THE COUNTY DOES THE BEST THEY CAN AND THE STATE DOES THE BEST THAT THEY CAN. IF YOU HAVE 10 ACRES -- I
[00:15:03]
CHECKED ON THIS A WHILE BACK I WAS LOOKING AT BUYING MORE LAND OUT THERE. IF YOU BUY 10 ACRES, THE CITY WATER DEPARTMNT SAID, WE WILL PUT YOU IN A WATER METER IF YOU HAVE 10 ACRES. WE ARE NOT JUST GOING THROUGH THERE MR. WRIGHT -- ISTHAT I COUNTDOWN? >> YES, GO AHEAD. FINISH.
>> IF YOU BUY THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, I THINK IT WAS 20 ACRES, WE WILL PUT YOU IN ONE WATER METER PER 10 ACRES. I DON'T SEE HOW THAT FITS. I DON'T SEE HOW PUTTING IN A TRAILER PARK OUT THERE , HOW COME I CANNOT HAVE 20 WATER METERS TO BUY THE PIECE OF LAND OVER THERE WHEN I WANT A? ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE THE WATER METER AND PUT IN THERE AND BITE EVERYONE UP. AND SAID EVERYONE A ONE BEL?
>> SIR, I AM NOT IN CHARGE OF THE TRAILER PARK. I AM HERE TO DISCUSS A CONDITIONAL USE ON THIS PROPERTY.
>> IN THAT AREA, THERE IS A FEW OF US THAT GOT THIS NOTICE TODAY THANKS TO OUR NEIGHBOR. IF HE HAD NOT STOOD UP, WE WOULD NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. WE WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN KNOWN ABOUT IT. I GUESS THAT IS THE WAY SOME OF THAT STUFF IS BECAUSE IT PASSES WITHOUT US KNOWING. IF IT IS ON A DIRT ROAD , IF IT IS ON ONE OF OUR COUNTY ROADS, AND WE DO BRING THIS IN --
>> CAN YOU BE SPECIFIC WHICH WHICH ROAD YOU ARE DISCUSSING?
>> WHERE IS 341 ON THE PICTURE?
>> 341 IS ON -- >> IS THAT CALL THAT WROTE?
>> CALL THAT WROTE, ALSO. >> WE USED TO BACK TO THE SITE
PLAN? >> AND IF THEY COME OFF THE
ROAD >> LOOK UP ON THE SCREEN UP
THERE. >> THEY ARE COMING OFF WEST LAKE ROAD. THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. COLLETTE ROAD IS TO THE NORTH OF THEM . I SEE. IF THEY DO HAVE ANOTHER ROAD GOING DOWN COLLETTE ROAD , DO THEY PAY THAT WROTE? BECAUSE OF THIS THAT IS GOING ON? IT IS OUR DRIVEWAY TOO. IT IS ONE OF OUR DRIVEWAYS. I THINK I HAVE USED UP MY THREE MINUTES.
I THINK I HAD ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE THINGS THAT WERE HIT. WE DO NOT WANT THAT ALSO. WE HAVE WILDLIFE , WE HAVE HOGS, DEER AND TURKEY. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO CROWD THEM OUT. WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO COME OUT THERE AND SHOOT DEER . I LIVE RIGHT HERE IN THIS TRAILER PARK. I CAN GO DOWN THERE AND SHOOT A HUG BECAUSE IT IS NEXT TO THE LAKE.
>> I WILL SAY WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED IS AN RV PARK AND NOT A TRAILER PARK. THESE WOULD BE RVS ON WHEELS WITH ASSIGNED PARKING SPOTS , WHICH MAY GO TO ANSWER QUESTION ABOUT THE METER. THEY ARE PROBABLY PAYING A MONTHLY FEE FOR ELECTRICITY AND WATER OR SOMETHING TO RENT THAT SPOT.
>> IT MIGHT FILL UP PRETTY QUICK.
>> IN A DIFFERENCE IN THE NAME , TRAILER HOME PARK. THIS IS WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED IS AN RV PARK.
>> WE ARE AGAINST IT. >> UNDERSTAND.
>> THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE PEOPLE HERE IF THEY HAD KNOWN ABOUT IT. IT WAS KIND OF SHORT NOTICE. APPRECIATE YOUR
TIME. >> APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.
>> THE NAME IS DIXON BAILEY. I LIVE AT 1528 COUNTY ROAD, WHICH IS NOT FAR FROM HERE. I HAVE A QUESTION AS WELL. WHEN YOU SAID THE USE IS BEING APPROVED FOR CHICK -- FOUR AN RV PARK. A TRAILER CAMP IN A PERMANENT RESIDENCE CAN
>> AN RV PARK CAN'T, BY STIPULATION.
>> NO ONE CAN LIVE IN A TRAILER HOUSE THAT MOVES AND
PERMANENTLY? >> NO. THERE IS RULES OF FOR RV PARKS THAT THEY CAN ONLY BE THERE FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. THE TRAILERS CAN ONLY BE THERE FOR SOME AMOUNT OF TIME.
>> WHAT IS THAT TIME? >> I DON'T KNOW. I CANNOT TELL
YOU. >> THAT IS A LITTLE BETTER.
ALL OF US THAT MOVED OUT TO THE COUNTRY, MOVED OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR A REASON AND PART OF THAT IS THE VIEW. RIGHT OUT THE DOOR, THE ABILENE IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION IS BUYING AND TURNDOWN STRUCTURES, WHY? TO MAKE THE CITY LOOK BETTER AND THE PROPERTY LOOK BETTER. HE BRINGS IN BETTER
[00:20:02]
THINGS. ALL OF US MOVED OUT TO THE COUNTRY FOR A REASON. THAT REASON IS NOT TO LOOK AT AN RV PART -- PARKS. WITH THE TRAILER PARK, YOU WILL BRING IN SERVICES THAT ARE NEEDED. WHAT IS THE IDEA OF ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE , LAW ENFORCEMENT, EMERGENCY CARE, LET US PUT THIS RV PARK AT THE FURTHEST REGION OF THE COUNTY. AT THE VERY END. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE TO GET OUT THERE? IS THIS THE BEST USE FOR THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY OR COULD YOU PUT IT SOMEPLACE ELSE? YOU HAVE MATCHING GRANTS WITH INTEREST IN TOWN TO REDO THE FACADE.WHY? TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE. WE ALL DO THAT. WE ALL WANT IT TO LOOK BETTER. WE ARE ALL PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.
ALL OF US ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY OUT THERE. WE MOVED OUT THERE FOR A REASON. TRULY, YOU CAN SEE THAT. WOULD YOU WANT TO LOOK AT AN RV PARK OUT YOUR FRONT WINDOW? I ASK YOU.
PLEASE, TAKE THIS UNDER CONSIDERATION. I DO AGREE , I LEARNED ABOUT THIS TWO HOURS AGO. IT WAS NOT FOR MY NEIGHBOR, I WOULD NOT KNOW THIS IS TAKING PLACE BUT I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO LOOK AT THE DATA OR THE RULES OR LOOK AT ANYTHING.
I ASK YOU TO SLOW DOWN THIS PROCESS AND GET A CITIZENS A LITTLE MORE TIME TO LOOK AT THIS MORE APPROPRIATELY, LOOK AT THE DATA AND LOOK AT WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED. IT IS OUR BACKYARD , LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE MAKING A DECISION ON. PLEASE, SLOW IT DOWN. AS TAKE SOME TIME TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR BACKYARD.
>> I WILL SAY THAT LIKE I READ IN OUR OPENING STATEMENT WE ARE ONLY RECOMMENDING MATTERS OF ZONING. WE WILL HAVE A DISCUSSION AMONG OURSELVES AFTER WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE WILL VOTE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. WE WILL SEND THIS TO COUNCIL. THIS WILL GO TO COUNCIL TWICE . YOU HAVE A FIRST READING AND THEN A SECOND READING. THE SECOND READING WILL BE WHEN THEY WILL ACTUALLY VOTE ON WHETHER TO CHANGE THE ZONING OR NOT. THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE ROAD, EVEN IF WE DO
>> NO. I'M SAYING IS -- >> AYE --
>> COME BACK UP. WE ARE RECOMMENDING. WE ARE ONLY A RECOMMENDING BOARD. IF AFTER WE GET THROUGH THIS HEARING DISCUSSION , WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND HAVE A DISCUSSION UP HERE. WE WILL HAVE A MOTION AND A BALL. THAT COULD BE TO FORWARD IT ON TO COUNCIL. A YES VOTE AND FORWARD IT ON TO COUNCIL. IT WILL GO TO COUNCIL FOR TWO READINGS BUT IT COULD BE A DENIAL AND A DOWN VOTE. THEN, THE PROPONENT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL. THEY CAN APPEAL IT TO CITY COUNCIL EVEN IF WE DENY
IT. >> WE CAN GO THERE TOO. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. I APPRECIATE YOU HEARING ME .
I'M ASKING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU TO THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN BACKYARD. WHAT A GO UP IF IT WAS YOUR BACKYARD OR WOULD YOUR THUMB GO DOWN? I AM ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER WHY WE MOVED TO THE COUNTRY. WAS IT TO LOOK AT AN RV PARK? TONIC FOR YOUR TIME.
>> MY NAME IS CHAD WRIGHT. I LIVE AT 1018 COLLETTE ROAD .
YOU SAID WITHIN SO MANY -- THAT IS MY HOUSE . THE PICTURE THAT WAS ON THEIR, THAT IS -- NO, THAT IS NOT OUR HOUSE. 1018 IS THE ROAD RIGHT NEXT TO THIS PROPERTY. WE ARE RIGHT THERE.

CONNIE LAW. SHE OWNS THE PROPERTY WITHIN -- IT IS 200 -- PROBABLY 400 FEET FROM HER PROPERTY. I HAVE GOT ALL OF THESE TEXT MESSAGES THAT SAID , YES, I CAN REPRESENT THEM.
JENNIFER PHILLIPS AND GREG PHILLIPS. IT IS 8526, ALSO.
WE ARE COMPLETELY AGAINST THIS. THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WANT TO LOOK AT. EXACTLY WHAT THIS MAN SAID. WE MOVED OUT THERE TO BE
[00:25:01]
IN THE COUNTRY. WE ARE A FAMILY OUT THERE. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE. THERE IS MY DAD RIGHT THERE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S AUNT . WE HAVE A COUSIN NEXT DOOR. WE HAVE AN AUNT NEXT DOOR. AND THERE IS MY DAD AND MY WIFE'S COUSIN AND THEN THERE IS ANOTHER UNCLE. WE ARE ALL WITHIN THAT MEANT THEY COULD CALL ME AND I WILL BE THERE. I AM COMPLETELY AGAINST , EVERYONE I JUST READ THEIR NAMES, WE ARE COMPLETELY AGAINST PUTTING AN RV PARK OUT THERE. IF ANYONE NEEDED HELP WITH ANYTHING, I WOULD BE THERE. THE COLLETTE ROAD RIGHT THERE, COLLETTE ADOPTED TWO MILES , THAT IS ON THE SAME -- THE TWO MILES OF ROAD. THEY DON'T WANT TO CLEAN THAT UP, ALL THE STUFF THAT THIS WILL ATTRACT. THEY HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF THE ROAD FOR 10 YEARS. GREG OWNS 77 ACRES. WITHIN A HALF A MILE. DANNY OWNS 13 OR 14. JASON OWNS 2 1/2. RONNIE, HE OWNS -- PROBABLY 20 OR 30 LIKE I SAID, RONNIE IS SICK.EVERYONE IS COMPLETELY AGAINST THIS, ALL THE NEIGHBORS. IF I CAN ASK FOR AN EXTENSION FOR WRITTEN PERMISSION. DUE TO LAST-MINUTE NOTIFICATION BUT WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED. WE ARE THE NEIGHBORS. I DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS. WHEN I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DO A JOB, I LOOK FOR AN EDUCATED PERSON IN THAT FIELD. I'M NOT EDUCATED IN THIS I WILL HIRE SOMEONE WHO IS EDUCATED IN THIS PRINT I WILL GET TOGETHER THE FUNDS TO WHERE WE CAN PETITION THIS. ALL OF MY FAMILY, THE NEIGHBORS , WE ARE COMPLETELY AGAINST IT. THANK YOU.
BURKS. I LIVE AT 902 COLLETTE ROAD. I LOOK OUT MY FRONT WINDOW AND GO OUT MY DOOR AND THAT IS WHAT I SEE, THAT PIECE OF LAND. I AM 67 YEARS OLD. I MOVED THERE WHEN I WAS 9. MY MOM'S HOUSE IS RIGHT DOWN FROM MINE AND I HAVE LIVED IN MY HOUSE FOR ABOUT 43 YEARS. I CANNOT JUST IMAGINE LOOKING ACROSS AND SEEING TRAILER HOUSES EVERYWHERE.
>> MA'AM, THEY ARE RVS. >> STILL, I CAN'T I KNOW IT WILL LOWER OUR LAND PRICE . I KNOW THAT PEOPLE STEALING AND THINGS LIKE THAT . WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT NOW.
I AM VERY MUCH AGAINST IT, VERY MUCH. YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT TO THE MAILBOX, I GOT THAT. IT WAS CRUMPLED UP . IT HAD A RIBBON AROUND IT. ONE DAY NOTICE. THAT IS NOT RIGHT.
THERE IS NOTHING RIGHT ABOUT THAT. LIKE I SAID, THINK ABOUT YOUR BACKYARD. THAT IS MY FRONT YARD. I JUST -- I AM SO
AGAINST IT. >> WHAT WAS YOUR ADDRESS?
>> 902 COLLETTE ROAD . I AM RIGHT THERE. MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE IS THE ONE THAT SHOWS RIGHT WITH THE WHITE. I AM RIGHT DOWN FROM HER . CHAD AND CASEY ARE RIGHT DOWN FROM ME.
ENGINEERING. WE ARE HERE TO REPRESENT THE OWNER . JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE SITE PLAN. RIGHT NOW, THEY HAVE GOT
[00:30:02]
A PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN. HE WANTED TO GO THIS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BEFORE WE GOT FARTHER ALONG IN THE DEVELOPMENT. THE OWNER HAS PROPOSED SOME PRETTY -- NOT SURE WHAT WORD I AM LOOKING FOR. THEY ARE WILLING TO WORK.THEY HAVE PROPOSED A LOW DENSITY DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS ONLY 60 RVS SPOTS PROPOSED PERVERSE PHASE WOULD ONLY BE 40. THEY PROPOSE TO LEAVE A BUFFERED AT COLLETTE ROAD.
THERE IS SOME THICK TREES ON THE FENCE LINE RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE INTENDING TO LEAVE THAT UNTOUCHED AND TRYING TO SCREEN THE VIEW THERE. PROPOSING NEW TREES ON SOUTH TO HELP SCREEN THE VIEW FROM THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME VERY CONSERVATIVE PARK RULES THEY ARE PROPOSING TO KEEP LOUD MUSIC DOWN, LOUD NOISES , RESTRICTED HOURS AT BEDTIME SO NO ONE IS UP DISTURBING NEIGHBORS. THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK WITH EVERYBODY AND PROPOSE A DEVELOPMENT THAT EVERYONE CAN BE HAPPY WITH. JUST WANTED TO SAY, THEY ARE WILLING TO CONSIDER OTHER FACTORS THAT MIGHT HELP. WE ARE WILLING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT. >> DOES THIS FRONT THE LAKE?
>> THE PROPERTY BEHIND THERE IS THE CITY OF ABILENE PROPERTY. THE ACTUAL WATER LEVEL DOES NOT TOUCH THE PROPERTY. IT IS THE LAKE PROPERTY THAT THEY ADJOIN BUT THE WATER LEVEL DOES NOT GET HIGH ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY CAN ACTUALLY WALK TO THE WATER WITHOUT GETTING PERMISSION.
>> ALSO, I KNOW THERE IS LOTS OF QUESTIONS . DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT A TRAILER PARK , MANUFACTURED HOME PARK. IT IS AN RV PARK, A COMMERCIAL LOT. ANYTHING INTERIOR WILL BE PRIVATELY OWNED . THERE IS NOT PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY, NO PUBLIC STREETS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
>> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR JONATHAN? I APPRECIATE YOU.
VERY LONG. I AM JUST MOVING IN . JUST GOT MARRIED TO THIS GAL
HERE. >> SIR, WOULD YOU STATE YOUR
NAME. >> MY NAME IS ROBERT RUSSELL JR. I LIVE AT 92 COLLETTE ROAD. I AM HERE AT THE LAND -- BOTH SIDES OF LAKE ROAD OUT THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE WITH A SPECIFIC DEAL WHERE YOU CANNOT SELL IT FOR LESS THAN FIVE -- YOU CANNOT LOSE IT FOR LESS THAN FIVE ACRES PER HOUSE. IT HAS GOT A DEAL TIED TO IT. NO ONE HAS EVEN SAID NOTHING ABOUT THAT. THEY CAN HAVE PLOTS OF FIVE ACRES ONLY.
>> I'M GUESS I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU MAY BE TALKING ABOUT A SUBDIVISION. THIS IS NOT A
SUBDIVISION. >> THERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO SELL
THAT LAND IN FIVE ACRE PLOT. >> OKAY.
>> THAT IS WHAT I WAS UNDERSTANDING. THE WAY YOU ALL ARE DOING IT, YOU ARE PUTTING MULTI-FAMILIES IN ONE AREA. IT
IS IN ONE PARK. >> WAS IS NOT RESIDENTIAL.
NORA TRAILER PARK. >> IF THAT IS THE WAY IT IS, IS
IF YOU DID CHANGE THE ZONE. >> THEY ARE ASKING US TO CHANGE THE ZONING BUT ARE ASKING US FOR A CONDITIONAL USE INSIDE OF
AN AGRICULTURAL ZONING. >> I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW ALL OF THAT WORKS. THAT IS WHAT I WAS HEARING TALES ABOUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION.
>> THANK YOU. >> ANYBODY ELSE? I WILL CLOSE
[00:35:01]
>> MA'AM, I HAVE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE WILL HAVE A BIT OF DISCUSSION AND THAT I MAY OPEN IT AGAIN IN A MINUTE.
>> MA'AM, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS FROM THE CITY.
>> HEARING. WOULD YOU BRING THAT BACKUP?
>> I GOT THIS YESTERDAY. >> THAT IS NOT AN OFFICIAL NOTICE FROM THE CITY OF ABILENE.
>> THAT IS FINE THE PICTURE OF MOBILE HOMES.
>> THAT IS INCORRECT, MA'AM. >> YOUR LYING MOBILE HOMES --
>> THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THAT IS
OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT. >> THE CITY DID NOT PUT THAT
OUT. >> PROBABLY NOT, THEY HAD IT ROLLED OUT WITH AND AROUND IN MY MAILBOX.
>> WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING MOBILE HOMES.
>> THESE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT MEN.
>> THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THE CITY PUT OUT.
>> OKAY. >> I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING. ANY DISCUSSION? >> THE ASSERTIONS MADE BY THE LAST SPEAKER WITH RESTRICTIONS ON THIS PROPERTY.
>> IT IS AGRICULTURAL OPEN SPACE.
>> IF WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION , THERE IS OTHER RULES THAT KICK IN WITH 10 ACRE AND FIVE ACRE AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS KICK IN WITH THE SUBDIVISION. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CONDITIONAL USE FOR AN RV PARK. THERE IS NOTHING THAT WOULD KICK IN AS FAR AS THAT. IF WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION, THERE IS OTHER
RULES. >> I GUESS I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR KELLY ON THE NOTIFICATION.
>> THE CITY NOTIFIES THE RECORD OWNER AS REFLECTED BY THE TAX RULES OF TAYLOR COUNTY. OR JONES COUNTY IF IT IS IN
JONES COUNTY. >> SENT TO THE ADDRESSES ?
>> SENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER. THE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD BE
RECEIVING. >> TO SPEAK ON THAT, WE SENT NOTICE TO 1018 COLLETTE ROAD , 942 COLLETTE ROAD , WE SENT IT TO AN EIGHT WEST LAKE ROAD, 9135 WEST LAKE ROAD , 9017 WEST LAKE ROAD AND ANY 89 WEST LAKE ROAD. THE CERTIFICATE OF MAILING FORM WAS DATED ON JANUARY 19TH.
>> THOSE NOTICES WENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER? IT GOES JUST TO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY FOR THE TAX APPRAISAL OFFICE?
THINK. >> WHAT I SAID WAS , IT WENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF RECORD IN THE COUNTY TAX OFFICE. IF SOMEONE IS RENTING THE PROPERTY OR HAS OTHER INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY, IT WON'T GO TO THOSE WITH INTEREST, JUST THE PROPERTY OWNER. THAT IS THE OFFICIAL TAX RULES AS OF 2022.
IF THEY HAD THIS PROPERTY IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, THERE MAY NOT HAVE THEIR NAME UNDER BEAR. EXCUSE ME, 2023. THEY ARE ALWAYS ONE YEAR BEHIND FOR EACH GIVEN YEAR. THAT IS HOW
ALL COUNTIES RUN IN TEXAS. >> ALSO FOR AO ZONING, THE MINIMUM ACREAGE ALLOWED IS FIVE ACRES. YOU CANNOT BE AO IF
YOU'RE LESS THAN FIVE ACRES. >> THANK YOU.
>> WE ARE ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE. IT IS A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE , YOU KNOW. IT IS CONDITIONAL USE.
>> I DO BELIEVE THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH IS 600 JUNKYARD.
>> LET A SETBACK ON THE NORTH SIDE. ON THE WAY TO PITOCIN ,
[00:40:05]
IT IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THIS RIGHT OFF THE ROAD. IT IS RELATIVELY CLOSE TO AGRICULTURE AND HOMESTEADS . IT IS THERE AND VERY SIMILAR. I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF PUTTING THIS FORWARD AS A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL.>> I SECOND THAT. >> I WILL PUT IT AS A MOTION. I WAS TRYING TO START DISCUSSION IF ANYONE ELSE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. I WILL MOTION FORWARD TO COUNCIL FOR CONDITIONAL USE WITH THE CONDITIONS STATED BY CITY STAFF. WITH THE OPERATION OF PARK RULES THAT WERE PROVIDED DID I MAKE THAT
JUMBLE ENOUGH? >> EMOTION AND A SECOND.

>> THE MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIES.
>> ZONING CASE Z-2024-03 . APPROXIMATELY RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY RS 6 LOCATE 2500 BLOCK OF BEL AIR DRIVE. GIVEN A SECOND, KYLIE.
GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE. THERE IS DIFFICULTY WITH THESE THINGS PICKING UP.
>> I'M HEARING YOU BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS COMING OUT OVER THERE. KILEY, YOU ARE UP.
>> MY NAME IS KILEY HANNAH, I AM A PLANNER WITH THE CITY OF ABILENE. I AM HERE ABOUT CASE Z-2024-03 WITH THE APPLICANT OF DHT. THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE FROM RESIDENTIAL RS 6 TAPATIO HOME AT THE 2500 BLOCK OF BEL AIR DRIVE. HERE IS THE AREA LOCATION MAP . THE ZONING MAP . PERMITTED USES WITH RS 6. THE PERMITTED USES WITH PATIO HOME. SOME VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES. THE NOTIFICATION AREA MAP , WE RECEIVED HERE IN FAVOR N0 A
POST. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR KILEY ?
THANK YOU. >> I HAVE THE PROPOSED PLATS.
THE REQUEST IS CONSIDERED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SURROUNDING EUNICE AND ZONING, GENERALLY. AND MET CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS. >> I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT ANYONE LIKE TO VISIT WITH ASK YOU MIGHT GUESS,
SIR, COME ON UP. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS MARK VAULT. I OWN THE PROPERTY 2610 METRO LANE. IT IS DIRECTLY IN THE ALLEY OF THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. MY PARENTS HAVE ON THAT HOUSE SINCE THE EARLY '70S. I MOVED IN IN THE EARLY 80S AND HAVE MY KIDS THERE. IT IS NOW RENT HOUSE AND MY PROPERTY STILL. I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA.
PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE HERE THAT HAS CAUGHT TADPOLES AND ALL OF THE PONDS BACK IN THERE, I PROMISE YOU. I HAVE SEEN, FIRSTHAND, THE PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA DUE TO OUR INFAMOUS CREEK RISINGS AND MONUMENTAL FLOODS THAT WE HAVE. MY UNDERSTANDING THAT PATIO HOMES ARE GOING TO BE LESS YARD, MORE CONCRETE , LESS WATER TO RUN OFF OR MORE WATER TO RUN OFF IN THE
[00:45:06]
SPECIFIC AREA . SEVERAL YEARS AGO I STILL LIVED IN THE HOME AND THERE WAS AN ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS DONE AT THE INTERSECTION OF VOGEL -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SHOW IT -- THE INTERSECTION OF VOGEL AND YORKTOWN. THAT IS WHERE WATER STOOD FOR A LONG TIME AND IT WOULD BACK UP AND FLOODS THE HOMES AND YORKTOWN. THE ENGINEER THAT I CONTACTED AFTER MY HOUSE FLOODED THAT I WONDERED HOW THAT PROJECT WENT.IT FLOODED MY HOUSE, THAT'S HOW IT DID. IT FLOODED TWO MORE TIMES AFTER THAT IN THE MID-'90S. THE ENTIRE PROBLEM WITH THIS WHOLE AREA IS NOT WHAT IS PUT THERE. IT IS WHEN SOMETHING IS PUT THERE, IT IS GOING TO DISPLACE AND PUT CONCRETE THERE OR IT WILL FLOOD THE NEIGHBORHOOD , AS IT HAS IN THE PAST. IF YOU HAVE EVER DRIVEN DOWN WILLIS OR YORKTOWN WHEN WE HAVE A BIG FLOOD , THERE IS ONE OBVIOUS PROBLEM. IT IS THE HIGHWAY INTERSECTION OF INTERSTATE 20 AND WILLIS , THE WATER CANNOT GET OUT. IT BACKS UP ALL THE WAY TO AMBLER AND OF VOGEL. IT BACKS UP AND THAT IS WHAT FLOODS ALL OF THE HOMES. THAT IS MY OBJECTION WITH IT. IT WILL NOT GIVE ANY KIND OF DEVELOPMENT -- ANY KIND OF DEVELOPMENT WILL GET MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE WATER HITTING THE OBSTACLES, THE BOTTLENECK, AND INTERSTATE 20 AND DOING WHAT IT HAS DONE. IT IS BACKED UP AND BACKED UP THE ALLEY. THE CITY, AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT FLOODED, AT LEAST GAVE US A LITTLE BIT OF RELIEF. WE HAVE TO HAVE THE FENCE IS OUR DAM AND GOES TO THE FRONT OF OUR YARDS. ALSO, THE OTHER CONCERN IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE UTILITIES, THE SEWER SYSTEM. IT IS BACKED UP FROM ALL THE APARTMENTS. IT IS VERY UNDERSIZED FOR THAT PART OF TOWN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FLOODING ADDRESSED AND THE SEWER ADDRESSED BEFORE WE CRAM A BUNCH OF HOMES IN THE PATIO? I KNOW YOU ARECHANGING THE ZONING. I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THE CITY COUNCIL WILL DECIDE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF FLOOD DEVELOPMENT ARE YOU AWARE OF IT OR CONSIDER THAT.
>> JOHNSON, CAN YOU COME UP HERE? ARE YOU REPRESENTING ON
>> I WILL ASK YOU TO COME UP IN JUST A SECOND.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. I HAVE LIVED THAT TOO MANY TIMES BUT I HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE ENGINEER THING, I WONDERED HOW THAT IS GOING TO DO WITHOUT ANY REGARDS TO HOW IT DID OUR HOMES. I GUESS THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. GIVE ME MORE QUESTIONS FOR
ME? >> THANK YOU. IS THIS BJ'S
JOB? >> I DO NOT KNOW A WHOLE LOT. I KNOW THE OWNER WANTED TO TRY TO SQUEEZE A FEW MORE LOTS IN THEIR COST WISE TO MAKE IT A VIABLE. THE FLOODPLAIN MIND WE ARE SHOWING IS BASED ON MAPS AND WHAT WE ARE THINKING AS WE LOOK AT THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION THAT WAS PUBLISHED , THAT LAND IS ACTUALLY HIGHER THAN THE FLOODPLAIN ELEVATION.
IT SHOULD NOT FLOOD BASED ON THE PUBLISHED BFP. THAT IS ALL
I KNOW RIGHT NOW. >> THESE PROPERTIES WON'T
>> BUT THE ONES AROUND IT MIGHT?
>> FEMA PUBLISH THE MAP OF WHAT THE STUDY SAYS THE FLOODPLAIN ELEVATION WOULD BE IN 100 YEAR STORMS. IT IS A STATISTICAL GUESS, BASICALLY. THERE IS LESS THAN A 1% CHANCE THAT THOSE LOTS WOULD FLOODED. WE ARE OUTSIDE OF THAT. THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE CANNOT GET A RAIN BIGGER THAN WHAT FEMA CLASSIFIEDS OR THERE COULD NOT BE SOME LOCAL, SHORT-TERM PLANNING. ACCORDING TO THE INSURANCE RATE MAPS , IT IS NOT
A CONCERN. >> THERE IS A BASE FLOOD
[00:50:04]
ELEVATION AND THEY WILL HAVE TO BE ABOVE IT. THAT IS REQUIREDBY FEMA. >> YOU WILL HAVE TO RETAIN -- JONATHAN, THERE IS NO DETENTION POND HERE. WE ARE GOING DIRECTLY INTO THE CREEK. THE PROBLEM WITH THE FLOODING IN THIS AREA IS NOT DIRECT WATER FALLING ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. THIS'LL BE THE FIRT WATER IN THE CREEK AND BE GONE BEFORE THE FLIGHT GETS HERE BECAUSE IT IS ALL THE WAY? THAT IS WHERE THE WATER IS COMING FROM. ANY WATER THAT FALLS ON THIS PROPERTY WILL BE FIRST IN THE CREEK AND LONG GONE. IT WILL BE IN THE LAKE BEFORE THE FIGHT GETS TO THIS POINT. WE
CAN HAVE A STUDY HERE. >> WE ALREADY DONE. A LOT OF THE CONCRETE IS DOWN ON THE GROUND AS IS.
>> THE REASON FOR THIS IS MORE DEVELOPMENT .
>> ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO COME UP AND VISIT CUMIN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING . THAT IS WHERE ALL THE WATER GOES IN TOWN WOULD NATURALLY, IT WILL HAVE WATER ISSUES OUT THERE.
THIS IS NOT A CONJURING FACTOR TO IT.
>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I WILL SECOND.
>> THIS MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR CALLIE . I WAS THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY UNTIL LAST FRIDAY. I KNOW WHO BOUGHT IT AND WHAT THEIR USE WAS GOING TO BE FOR IT.
>> WHY DON'T YOU JUST ABSTAIN. JUST BECAUSE.
>> IF YOU DON'T CURRENTLY OWN IT IS NOT A LEGAL CONFLICT.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO ABSTAIN IF YOU FEEL CONFLICTED.
>> MISS DRESSEN-KYKER. >> YES .
>> FLEMING . >> LET'S. YOU ARE ABSTAINING?
