[6. CITIZENS’ INPUT ]

VOTED TOGETHER AND COUNSEL HAS NOT ASKED ANY ITEMS TO BE REMOVED. I DID NOT MEAN TO GO PAST CITIZENINPUT I APOLOGIZE EVERYBODY. CITIZENS INPUT. ITEM 6. AT THIS TIME WE WILL TAKE UP TO THREE MINUTE COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE AND ON ANY TOPIC HERE WE CANNOT TAKE ACTION DURING CITIZEN INPUT AND I HAVE ONE EMAIL AND SEVERAL SPEAKERS. I AM GOING TO START WITH COUNCILMEMBER MATT GRUBISICH WHO WILL READ

THE EMAIL. >> COUNCILMEMBER: TOM'S GENDER TO THE ROWLETT CITY COUNCIL. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE SOME INPUT ON THE 2022 AD VALOREM TAX RATES SCHEDULED TO BE ADOPTED ON THE SEPTEMBER 21 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING THE COUNCIL IS PROPOSING TO EITHER OVER OR RAISE THE TAX RATE WHICH SOUNDED GOOD AS I REALIZE THAT INCREASE VALUATIN IN THE APPRAISED DISTRICT WILL RESULT IN MOST CITIZENS CITY TAXES GO UP EVEN IF THE RATE STAYS THE SAME. ACCORDING TO THE CITY BUDGET DOCUMENT THE TOTAL TAX REVENUE FOR THE CITY WILL BE OVER 2.5 MILLION MORE THAN IN LAST YEAR'S AJIT PIT THE 2.3 MILLION STATED IN THE REQUIRED NOTICE AT THE FRONT OF THE BUDGET PLUS IN THE ADDITIONAL PTUNE OF 50,000 DISCUSSED IN RE ON PAGE 29 AS AN ADDENDUM AFTER THE CERTIFIED PROPERTY VALUES WERE RECEIVED. THAT SLIGHTLY 1 MILLION OVER THAT IS FROM NEW PROPERTY AND THEIR MEANING 1.5 MILLION PRESENTS AN INCREASE IN THE TAX BILL WHICH I BELIEVE IS ALREADY EXCESSIVE. PAGE 31 INDICATES THE CITY WILL RECEIVE 5.3+ MILLION IN 2022 AND ONLY A BIT OVER 1.55 MILLION IN COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TAX PAIDIS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE TAX BURDEN. THIS SOME HOPE THAT IT WILL CHANGE WHEN THE SAPPHIRE BAY AND OTHER PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS COME TO FRUITION BUT RIGHT NOW IT FALLS ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE RESIDENCE FOR THE CITY ALSO RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY TAXES, SALES TAX, FRANCHISE FEES LICENSE AND OTHER FEES AND CHANGES ABOVE THE PROJECTIONS OF THE 2021 ADOPTED BUDGET FOR THE CITY DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE HEADING FOR A BUDGETARY SHORTFALL. PLEASE ARE MEMBER THERE ARE MANY IN THE CITY WHO ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF RECOVERING FROM JOB LOSSES AND BUSINESS SETBACKS RELATED TO LAST YEAR'S SHUTDOWN AND RESTRICTIONS. PROPERTY TAXES WILL BE HIGHER PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU VOTE ON THIS TAX RATE. THE STATE OR NOTIFICATION ON PAGE 35 OF THE BUDGET DOCUMENT SHOWS A PROPOSED EXPANSE OF DIRECTLY EARNED DIRECTLY INFLUENCE OUTCOMES OF LEGISLATION GOOD THIS IS TROUBLING TO ME GIVEN THE COMMENTS ON PAGE 21 OF THE DOCUMENT THAT PROVES STATE LEGISLATION DESIGNED TO PERFECT CITIZENS INTEREST AS A TAX ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. I DON'T LEAVE THE CITY SHOULD BE SPENDING TAXPAYER MONEY TO FUND OPPOSITIONS TO LEGISLATION THAT LED SOME OF THE CITIZENS SUPPORT. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE REASON FOR SOME OF THE BILLS TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON LOCAL

[00:15:01]

GOVERNMENTS TO INFLUENCE LEGISLATION THAT YOU LABELED AS HARMFUL. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY SUBSTANTIAL TAX PAYMENT TO GO TOWARD HELPING THE FIRE PROTECTION BUILDING STREETS, ALLEYS AND ACTUAL SIDEWALKS NOT TRAILS THROUGH OWNERS TAKE AREAS. TOWARDS THE END I SUPPORT THE PROPOSED ADDITION OF FOUR POLICE OFFICERS AND A DETENTION OFFICER WITH THE ADDITION OF FIREFIGHTERS. ONE IS ONE REALLY ENOUGH? AN INSTALLATION OF GENERATORS FOR THE LIFT STATION AND MONEY ALLOCATED TO STREET REPAIRS, ETC. THERE ARE MANY ITEMS IN THE BUDGET THAT I FIND QUESTIONABLE THAT I WON'T LIST THEM HERE I WILL JUST SAY AGAIN CONSIDERING THE TAX BURDEN ON THE CITY'S HOMEOWNER AND FOCUS ON THE CITIES LOOK MORE ON THE SOURCE OF THE REVENUE TO EASE THE BURDEN OF INDIVIDUALS AND

FAMILIES AND CUT MORE FROM - >> MAYOR: THANK YOU, MET. I WILL NOW TAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS. FIRST IS DAVE HALL FOLLOWED BY DEBORAH SCHINDLER FOLLOWED BY REGINA MARTINEZ AND FOLLOWED BY BUDDY FUTA. TURN THE MICROPHONE TOWARDS YOU. SORRY

ABOUT THAT. >> PUBLIC SPEAKER: DAVE WHOLE, MIND CATARACTS FIXED? BACK ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 22 2018 AT THE ROWLETT TOWN HALL MEETING I POINTED OUT PROBLEMS WITH THE ADDRESSES ON ROWLETT STREET SIGNS IN THE PADDLE POINT PARK ADDRESS. HERE ARE EMAILS GOING BACK TO DOCUMENTING THAT AND INDICATING MY POINT HAD BEEN MADE. I EVIDENTLY DID NOT MAKE MY POINTS. MANY OF MY CUSTOMERS CONTINUE TO HAVE DIFFICULTIES FINDING MY FACILITY AT 5970 MILLER RD..

MANY INDEFINITE EMPTY FIELD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. WHEN I SHIP OUT KAYAKS FOR MY FACILITY WITH OLD DOMINION FREIGHT LINE I HAVE TO PAIN ADDITIONAL $42 EACH TIME BECAUSE OLD DOMINION FREIGHT LINES CANNOT FIND MY FACILITY ON GOOGLE MAPS. OD FL ALSO FINDS AN EMPTY FIELD FOR 6917 DOES NOT A COMMERCIAL LOCATION AND THEIR RATE STRUCTURE. HOW MANY OTHER BUSINESSES IN ROWLETT WOULD ACCEPT THIS? HOW ANY OTHER NEW BUSINESSES WOULD WANT TO LOCATE IN ROWLETT KNOWING THIS IS THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT THEY WOULD RECEIVE FROM ROWLETT STAFF AND COUNSEL? ALSO ON JANUARY 6, 2021, REMEMBER THIS DATE, ROWLETT STAFF MAILED A CERTIFIED LETTER TO ME WHICH IS DATED JANUARY 4 2021. HERE IT IS. IT WAS ADDRESSED TO 6917 WILL ERODE ROWLETT. I RECEIVED THIS LETTER APRIL 29 2021. REMEMBER, SENT JANUARY 6 2021 CERTIFIED LETTER. I RECEIVED IT ON APRIL 29 2021 IN MY 6800 MILLER ROAD MAILBOX. THE US POST OFFICE HAS ASKED ME TO PLACE A MAILBOX FOR JUNE 9, 2017 BY THE SOUTHERN BOULEVARD NEAR MY FACILITY I WAS TOLD THE ROWLETT PARKS DEPARTMENT DENIED THE REQUEST. HOW MANY OTHER ROWLETT RESIDENTS WOULD PATIENTLY SIT BY AS I HAVE? WHITNEY, YOU ASKED FOR MORE COMMENT FROM THE RESIDENCE AND I'M JUST GETTING STARTED. I AM IN FRONT OF COUNSEL ASKING ABOUT AD ADDRESS. I HAVE WRITTEN EMAILS PLACE PHONE CALLS AND HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE.

I RUN A BUSINESS HERE AND IT TAKES ALL MY TIME TO RUN A QUALITY BUSINESS THAT ADDS TO QUALITY OF LIFE. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PULL AROUND THE ADDRESS BUT I HAVE TO HAVE AN ADDRESS THAT WORKS. CAN YOU OR THE APPROPRIATE PERSON HERE PLEASE TELL ME? THANK YOU I AM FINISHED.

>> MAYOR: OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS DEBORAH SCHINDLER.

>> PUBLIC SPEAKER: DAVE IS MUCH TOO TALL. JUST IN CASE YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO GET RID OF ME WHEN THE TRAILS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED, NO SUCH LUCK. I KNOW THE BUDGET IS NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA AND I PLAN TO BE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE NEXT MONDAY. I WANTED TO SPEAK WEAKLY TONIGHT ABOUT THE PROCESS INVOLVING THE CITIZENS IN THE ADOPTION OF THAT BUDGET. I BELIEVE THE ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET IS THE MOST IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY THAT A LEGISLATIVE BODY HAS AN ANY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT. I KNOW IT'S COMPLEX AND TEDIOUS AND FULL OF NUMBERS AND IS NOT SOMETHING THAT STIRS UP PASSIONS AND BRINGS OUT THE CROWD LIKE TRAILS IN YOUR BACKYARD AS YOU CAN SEE ON MY FRIENDS LEFT, OR, LIKE SOMETHING CONTROVERSIAL LIKE THE COLOR WATER TOWER LIGHTS

[00:20:05]

BUT IT SHOULD BE THE CONCERN OF EVERY CITIZEN WHO PAYS TAXES OR USES CITY SERVICES. RYAN'S PRESENTATION AT THE AUGUST 23 MEETING IT WAS NICELY DONE AND I HAVE DOWNLOADED IT AND STUDIED THAT. I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK GOES IN PART OF CITY STAFF AND I APPRECIATE THE LONG HOURS. I ALSO APPRECIATE THE LONG HOURS THE COUNCIL PUTS IN. I DIDN'T SPEAK AT THE BUDGET HEARING AT THE AUGUST 17 MEETING BECAUSE THERE WERE STATEMENTS THAT THE PRIORITY LIST WAS OUTDATED, THE COUNCIL WOULD MAKE CHANGES TO IT AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOPS AND I WANTED TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND THE AUGUST 13 WORKSHOP AND I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE ON AUGUST 24 BUT THAT ONE WAS CANCELED SO I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO GIVE INPUT. I DID WATCH THE AUGUST 19 VIDEO. I KNOW THAT THE COUNCIL FOLLOWED ALL ESTATE FIREMEN AND EVEN EXCEEDED THEM AS BRIAN DISCUSSED WITH ME TONIGHT AND I'M NOT QUESTIONING THAT AT ALL. I DON'T THINK IT WAS INTENTIONAL MADE IT DIFFICULT THE PUBLIC TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PROCESS THIS YEAR. I HEARD FROM SOME PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY WANTED TO ATTEND THE WORKSHOP AND THEY WERE CONFUSED ABOUT THE LOCATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE FIRE STATION WAS CHOSEN TO MAKE IT EASY FOR THE COUNCILMEMBERS TO SPREAD OUT BUT I DO THINK IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE CHOICE FROM THE CITIZENS PERSPECTIVE. THERE WERE NO CITIZENS THERE TO SPEAK AND I THINK THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THE MEETING WAS IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS OR SOMEWHERE IN CITY HALL. ANGLE OF THE CAMERA PREVENTED US TO SEE WHO IS SPEAKING AND I MESSED UP AND MISSED TECH COMMENTS BY MATT FOR WHITNEY'S WORDS AND I HAVE APOLOGIZED TO WHITNEY FOR THAT MISTAKE. MATT WAS OFF-CAMERA AND WHITNEY'S FACE WAS HIDDEN BY THE ANGLE OF THE CAMERA AND UNLIKE WHEN YOU ARE HERE YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE WHO IS TALKING. SO, THAT WAS CONFUSING. ALSO, THE VIDEO, IN THE VIDEO PEOPLE WHO WERE WATCHING THAT ON THE VIDEO COULD NOT SEE THE SCREEN THAT THIS COUNCIL WAS LOOKING AT AND IT MADE IT HARD TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. I HOPE THE COUNCIL WILL KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN THEY ARE

PLANNING NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU MISS GENDER. I APPRECIATE IT. REGINA MARTINEZ?

>> PUBLIC SPEAKER: I LIVE AT.AGAIN BECAUSE LAST TIME I RAN OUT OF MINUTE. I AM HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT IS GOING TO BE BUILT OFF VINCENT AND STONEWALL ROAD AND ON THE LINE IN WILEY, IS THE 8A J 'S CITY OF ROWLETT PEERED WE ARE STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE WATER ISSUE, THE GRADING OF THIS BIG DEVELOPMENT AND THE COTTONWOOD CREEK WHICH PASSES BY THE PROPERTY OF MYSELF AND SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE HERE LAST TIME, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT, UNFORTUNATELY. WE WOULD STILL LIKE TO GET SOME INFORMATION FROM THE DEVELOPER ABOUT ALL THE STUDIES FOR THE IMPACT ON THE LAND AND THE IMPACT ON THE WATERS. WE DO HAVE A CREEK WHICH IS THE SIZE OF THIS AREA AND IT WON'T ABLE TO HANDLE ALL THE WATER. IT CAN BARELY HANDLE IT RIGHT NOW. SO, I KNOW THAT THEY INVESTED A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY AND TALK TO YOU AND UNDERSTAND ITS BUSINESS AND WE DON'T WANT TO STOP THEM WE JUST WANT TO GIVE THEM SOME INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE TO THE BRIDGES, TO THE ROAD INTO THE PROPERTY.

AND INTO THE LAND. OF COURSE THE ANIMALS AND THE HELP OF THE WATER. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN JUST PUT ALL THAT WATER IN A NATURAL CREEK IF IT'S COMING FROM 700 - I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOMES BUT I BELIEVE IT'S BETWEEN 700 AND 800 HOMES.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TODAY. AND LAST TIME I WAS HERE WE RUN A PET ZOO AT THE PROPERTY FOR LITTLE KIDS AND WE HAVE ANIMALS LIKE GOATS, ALPACAS, LLAMAS, CATS AND DOGS AND PONIES. AND THEN ALSO, WE RUN A BED-AND-BREAKFAST AT THE PROPERTY. MY PROPERTY IS NORTH OF THE CREEK IT'S NOT QUITE IN THE AREA WHERE THE CREEK IS AND KENNETH STANLEY AND ROBERT

[00:25:08]

RIDDEN SKI THERE HOMES ARE RIGHT BY THE CREEK. SO, THIS WILL AFFECT MY AND END OUT OF THE LAND, THE PROPERTY OF COURSE THE POND AND AFFECT THE HOMES, TREMENDOUSLY. IF THIS IS NOT DONE RIGHT IT IS GOING A AGAIN FOR LISTENING.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU, SIR. MR. FUTA?

>> SPEAKER: HE'S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.

>> MAYOR: INCORPORATED YOU VERY MUCH. MUNAL DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO HIM OFF-LINE? IS THAT OKAY? YOU CAN'T ADDRESS IT AT THE MICROPHONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. THAT CONCLUDES

IT IS A DEVELOPED SHOPPING CENTER WITH A COUPLE OF PARCELS THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN DEVELOPED ONE BEING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY THEY ARE PROPOSING A DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURNT DOES REQUIRE APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. A S&P WILL BE DEVELOPED TO ASSESS THE ZONING DISTRICT AND THAT WILL GIVE US A LITTLE EXTRA LEVERAGE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE TRUE IMPACT OF SAID USE IS FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE PERSPECTIVE, TRANSPORTATION CORE DOORS AND THE OVERALL IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY. A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION RELATED TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS I MENTIONED IT IS A DEVELOPED SHOPPING CENTER WITH A COUPLE OF PARCELS LEFT.

[00:35:05]

COMMERCIAL C1 USAGE. IT WAS ZONED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY USAGE AND WAS DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY USAGE BUT THIS PORTION WAS CARVED OUT IN 2016 TO ACCOMMODATE COMMERCIAL USES.

A SPECIAL USE PERMIT IS REQUIRED FOR A SPA OR MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT WITHIN THE C1 DISTRICT AND THE ROWLETT DEVELOPMENT CODE. AS YOU ARE AWARE SPECIAL USE PERMIT IS A ZONING ACTION THAT ALLOWS FOR A FURTHER EVALUATION OR ASSESSMENT OF THE USE TO ENSURE IS INDEED ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THAT THE IMPACT OF THE USE WOULD NOT BE NEGATIVE TO THE SURROUNDING BUILT IN ENVIRONMENTS. IF THIS SU P IS APPROVED A MASSAGE PARLOR WOULD BE INVOLVED. AS WE MENTIONED THIS WOULD BE A USE THAT IS INCORPORATING WITH THE EXISTING BUILDING THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSED TO USE TWO SPACES INTERNAL TO THE BUILDING SO THEY WOULD BE USING 120 SQUARE FEET WITHIN THE SUITE ITSELF REFLECTED ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU WITH AN X AND THAT WOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE SUP TO MAKE SURE THAT IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT THE MASSAGE ELEMENT WOULD OPERATE. AS HE MENTIONED IT IS A BUILT RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT AND THERE ARE SOME VACANT PARCELS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FLOOD PLANE.

WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. >> MUNAL: THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION PAIRED WE WILL CONDUCT AN INSPECTION FOR THE LANDSCAPE COMPLIANT.

7-0. WE WILL NOW MOVE TO OUR LAST ITEM OF THE MEETING WHICH IS 8C. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE TO REZONE A 3.49-ACRE TRACT OF LAND LOCATED 230 FEET EAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF MILLER AND CHIESA ROADS, SITUATED IN THE CHARLES D. MERRELL SURVEY, ABSTRACT NUMBER 957, IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, FROM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (SF-8) TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) DISTRICT FOR MULTI-FAMILY DUPLEX(MF-2F) USES. MISS

MULLAH DAD? >> MUNAL: GOOD EVENING AGAIN COUNSEL. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS A PROXIMALLY THREE AND HALF ACRES AND HAS ABOUT 260 FEET OF FRONTAGE ALONG MILLER ROAD AND COUNSEL I WANTED TO POINT THIS OUT SO YOU CAN GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONFIGURATION OF THIS LOT. THE

[00:40:03]

PROPERTY IS OWNED SINGLE-FAMILY EIGHT DISTRICT AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WITH A BASED MF TWO CATEGORY TO ALLOW FOR A 13 LOT DUPLEX DEVELOPMENT A TOTAL OF 26 UNITS ULTIMATELY SHOULD THE REQUEST BE APPROVED. THIS WOULD REQUIRE A CHANGE IN ZONING AS I MENTIONED WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING PEERED AND WANTED TO PROVIDE BACKGROUND INFORMATION AS IT RELATES TO WHAT IS THE TILT ENVIRONMENT, WHAT NEW DEVELOPMENT IS BEING ENVISIONED IN THE AREA. THIS PROPERTY ABUTS AND FAMILY COMPLEX, ELEMENTARY SOUTH OF THIS A PRETTY AND PREDOMINANTLY SINGLE-FAMILY USES. THERE ARE SOME MIXED-USE POSTAL DEVELOPMENTS AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF CHIESA AND MILLER BUT AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE NOT BROKEN GROUND ON THE PROPERTY.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A SITE PLAN, A CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN THAT REFLECTS THE ACCESS TO THIS PROPERTY AND WITH 1 INTERNAL ST.. THE LOCATION OR SPATIAL PLANNING OF THESE LOTS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THIS STREET AND OF COURSE THE DIAGRAM IN FRONT OF YOU IDENTIFIES HOW THIS PROPERTY CAN BE ACCESSED.

ACCESS AGAIN IS OFF OF A 100 FOOT UNDIVIDED ROADWAY A TWO LANE UNDIVIDED ROADWAY AND THIS BASICALLY, THE INTERNAL STREET TIES INTO MILLER ROAD. MILLER ROAD IS INCLUDED ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND IS CURRENTLY IN DESIGN FOR A SIX LANE 110 FOOT INVITED CONCRETE ROADWAY OR THE APPLICANT IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INSURANCE THAT THE 110 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY IS SECURED FOR THE ENTIRE FRONTAGE OF MILLER ROAD AS DEVELOPMENTS OCCUR AND A FIVE FOOT DEDICATION WOULD BE REQUIRED AS A RESULT. SHOULD THE REQUEST BE APPROVED A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS WILL ALSO BE HIRED. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ZONED SF EIGHT DISTRICT AND THAT ALLOWS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES WITH A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF 8000 SQUARE FEET AND ADJOINING UNITS OF 800 SQUARE FEET. THE COUNCIL HAS REQUESTED TO NOT SELL THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY P THE GOAL OF THIS IS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IMPLICATIONS WOULD THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE HAVE ON THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT. THE COMPATIBILITY ANALYSIS THAT WE CONDUCTED WAS TO UNDERSTAND BETTER WHAT THE DUPLEX DIMENSIONAL CRITERIA ARE TO THE SOUTH. THAT DEVELOPMENT WAS APPROVED IN 1983. THAT'S A MINIMUM LOT OF 60 FEET AND DEPTH OF ONE OR 12 FEET MINIMUM LOT AREA, TOTAL LOT AREA OF 6000 SQUARE FEET BUT THE UNIT ITSELF IS A MINIMUM OF 1000 SQUARE FEET. THE LAW IS SELF THE 6000 SQUARE-FOOT LOT WOULD HAVE A TOTAL OF 2000 SQUARE FEET OF DWELLING UNIT AREA. IN THIS INSTANCE THE APPLICANT 'S REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO APD FOR USAGE IS TO HAVE A LOT WIDTH OF 65 FEET SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN WHAT THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY HAS OR ENJOYS. AND A SHORTER LOT DEPTH PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE CONSIDERATION TO THE SLOT OF 75 A MINIMUM LOT AREA OF 6800 SQUARE FEET AND EACH UNIT IS PROPOSED TO BE A MINIMUM OF 900 SQUARE FEET.
