(ZONE-23-0035) (DH)]
PURSUANT TO SECTION 551.007 AT THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE. INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL FOR ITEMS LISTED AS PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL BE RECOGNIZED BY THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPENED. THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 20 TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A CHILDCARE CENTER LICENSE USE ON APPROXIMATELY 9.7 ACRES ON THE COLLIN COUNTY SCHOOL LAND. SURVEY ABSTRACT 147 TRACKS 1 45 1 68 1 72 LOCATED 305. MM FEET SOUTH OF FIRST STREET AND THE EAST SIDE OF CHURCH STREET, MR HOOVER THANK YOU, MAYOR. OK? THIS FIRST SLIDE IS JUST THE GENERAL LOCATION. KIND OF RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. UM, RIGHT UP FIRST STREET. YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. UH, THIS IS[00:10:07]
JUST A ZONING MAP THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT ALL IS AROUND IT PRIMARILY SURROUNDED BY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THIS IS JUST VERBIAGE OF WHAT ALL THE SURROUNDING LAND USES AND THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ZONING. UM THE REQUEST IS FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, YOU KNOW, AND IT IS PRIMARILY FOR A LICENSED CHILD CARE CENTER, YOU KNOW, AND ALSO FOR TEMPORARY BUILDING, YOU KNOW, AND TEMPORARY BUILDINGS. NO. MR. EXPLAIN IT TO YOU FIND THE SLIDES IN A MINUTE.TEMPORARY BUILDINGS ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN A CHURCH, BUT THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWED FOR THE CHURCH RELATED ACTIVITY. SO IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF A DIFFERENT USE, LIKE CHILDCARE OR SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINES, AND THE TEMPORARY BUILDING REQUIRES A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. AND THE DAYCARE ALSO REQUIRES THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IF THEY WERE RUNNING, UM, THE DAYCARE AND OTHER THINGS IN THEIR PRIMARY BUILDINGS. THEY WOULDN'T NEED TO TEMPORARY BUILDING, BUT THEY STILL NEED THIS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT AS FAR AS THE CHILD CARE IS CONCERNED IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY'RE BOTH RUNNING TOGETHER. UM THIS JUST SHOWS YOU WHERE THE TEMPORARY BUILDING IS THE EXISTING BUILDING IN RELATIONSHIP TO THEIR PROPERTY. UM AND JUST TALKED ABOUT THE BUILDINGS AND THE DAYCARE AND WHY WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE. UM, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. THE UM PRESCHOOL OPERATION STARTED IN IN 2016. THE TEMPORARY BUILDING WAS PERMITTED IN 2016 AND THEN AGAIN IN 2019. THEY TYPICALLY ARE DONE IN THREE YEAR INCREMENTS. YOU KNOW, PROBABLY REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE WE DO IT WITH SCHOOLS AND OTHER TEMPORARY BUILDINGS. AS WELL. UH, IN 22 WAS GIVEN A ONE YEAR EXTENSION. AND THEN IN 23 WHEN THEY, UM REALIZE THAT IT HAD EXPIRED AND THEY CAME IN AND APPLIED FOR ANOTHER SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. IS JUST THE EVALUATION CRITERIA. UM WHEN IT WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THE STAFF ACTUALLY HAD THREE CONDITIONS THAT WERE BEING PROPOSED, YOU KNOW, AND WHEN YOU SEE WHAT THEY ARE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT WOULD EXPIRE IN TWO YEARS. UH, TEMPORARY BUILDING WOULD BE REMOVED WHEN THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT EXPIRED AND THEN UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE TWO YEARS, THE ONE YEAR EXTENSION COULD BE GRANTED BY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IF PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE, WHICH MEANT VIABLE PLAN TO UP WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PORTABLE BUILDING WITH THE PERMANENT BUILDING. UH, THAT THE DAYCARE WOULD WOULD THEN OBVIOUSLY MOVE INTO THE PERMANENT BUILDING AND THE TEMPORARY BUILDING WOULD GO AWAY. THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS DEBATING THIS. UM THEY CAME UP WITH THE DETERMINATION, YOU KNOW, FLIP BACK AND FORTH HERE FOR A SECOND, THEY FELT LIKE THE FIRST CONDITION THAT IT WOULD EXPIRE IN TWO YEARS AFTER, UM ASSUMING TOWN COUNCIL APPROVED IT, BY THE WAY. THEN CONDITION NUMBER TWO AND NUMBER THREE WOULD ACTUALLY BE COVERED IN CONDITION NUMBER ONE. AND SO THEY THOUGHT THAT TWO AND THREE WAS JUST KIND OF SUPERFLUOUS BECAUSE THOSE WERE THE DECISIONS TWO AND THREE WOULD BE THE DECISIONS THAT WOULD BE MADE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT NUMBER ONE WOULD BE APPROVED. AND SO WE AGREED, DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT. AND SO THAT'S WHAT THE COMMISSION DID. UH, THEY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT AND HABIT. EXPIRE IN TWO YEARS AND AGAIN PART OF THAT, THAT RECOMMENDATION PROCESS ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. AS FAR AS INFORMATION IS CONCERNED, THE PLAN WOULD BE TOWARDS THE END OF THE SECOND YEAR. UH THE CHURCH WOULD COME UP WITH A VIABLE PLAN OF HOW THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE TEMPORARY BUILDING WITH THE PERMANENT BUILDING, AND WE THOUGHT, PERHAPS EVEN TO THE POINT OF HAVING A PERMIT IN HAND TO WHERE CAME TO ASK FOR THE APPROVAL FOR THE THIRD YEAR OR THE ONE YEAR EXTENSION, WHICH WOULD BE THE THIRD YEAR UH, OF THIS SEP REQUIREMENT THAT THEY BE READY TO GO AND THEY COULD GET IT KNOCKED OUT IN THAT THIRD YEAR AND THEN THE TEMPORARY BUILDING WOULD GO AWAY. AND SO THAT THAT WAS THE CONVERSATION AT HAND. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO ADD. I'M HAPPY TO ADD OR EXCUSE ME. ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
[00:15:03]
THAT YOU MAY HAVE? QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. UM SO. MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT THESE PORTABLES WERE ON SITE PRIOR TO 2016. SO DO WE KNOW IF THESE PORTABLES THAT ARE ON PROPERTY NOW ARE WERE REPLACED IN 2016, OR THEY JUST WE JUST DON'T HAVE NECESSARILY RECORD BECAUSE I THINK THE PRESCHOOL WAS LICENSED AROUND 2012. OR SO. UM SO AND THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW STAFF QUESTIONS I ASKED PRIOR TO THIS MEETING WAS, HOW LONG IS A TYPICAL LIFESPAN FOR A TEMPORARY BUILDING? YOU KNOW, JUST THE LIFE OF THE BUILDING, AND IT'S AROUND 10 YEARS. SO IF THESE BUILDINGS ARE YOU KNOW, BEST CASE SCENARIO. THEY'RE BRAND NEW IN 2016 BY THE TIME THEY GET TO THE END OF THIS TWO YEAR EXTENSION AND HAVE ANOTHER EXTENSION. YOU KNOW, PRESUMABLY A ONE YEAR EXTENSION IF THEY DON'T HAVE PLANS. I MEAN, WE KNOW IT'S IT TAKES A YEAR OR SO TO BUILD A NEW BUILDING. UM SO IF THEY'RE JUST COMING TO US WITH PLANS AT THE END OF THE TWO YEARS WE'RE AT 11 YEARS. WITHOUT A PERMANENT SPACE TO GO, AND THAT'S IF THEY WERE REPLACED IN 2016. WE MAY EVEN BE AT 10 YEARS TODAY. SO THAT'S MY CONCERN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. NECESSARILY MAYBE YOU CAN SPEAK TO THIS WITH P AND Z WHY THE SUP WAS NECESSARILY TIED TO THE PORTABLE BUILDINGS BECAUSE TO ME, THEY'RE KIND OF TWO SEPARATE ISSUES HAVING AN SUP WHERE THE CHURCH CAN RUN. A LICENSED CHILDCARE CENTER IS SORT OF ONE ISSUE AND THEN ANOTHER ISSUE IS HOW LONG OUR PORTABLE BUILDINGS VIABLE AS BECAUSE REALLY, AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE SORT OF PERMANENT BUILDINGS BEING USED AS PERMANENT BUILDINGS. CORRECT I.I CAN ANSWER A COUPLE OF THOSE QUESTIONS AND THEN THE APPLICANT WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO ANSWER A COUPLE OF THOSE QUESTIONS. OUR RECORDS. DON'T GO BACK THAT FAR. WE HAVE A MAPPING SYSTEM. WELL, ACTUALLY, WE HAVE SEVERAL, BUT WE HAVE ONE THAT'S CALLED NEAR MAP THAT ONLY GOES BACK TO 2018, AND THAT'S USUALLY WHAT WE USE TO FOLLOW. PROGRESSIONS THEY, UM, THE COMPANY TAKES MULTIPLE, UM, AERIALS ON AAA VERY REGULAR BASIS SO YOU CAN LITERALLY SOMETIMES WATCH CONSTRUCTION OF, UH OF BUILDINGS OVER A PERIOD OF TWO OR THREE MONTH GAPS, AND OUR SYSTEM DIDN'T GO BACK THAT FAR EVERYTHING THAT WE HAD AS FAR AS PERMITTING AND SUCH ONLY WENT BACK TO 2016 AND SO THAT MATCHED WITH WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS THE CASE. SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, THAT'S AS FAR AS I CAN GO, BUT THE APPLICANT MAY BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. THE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS. YOU KNOW, WE DEAL WITH A LOT. UM A LOT OF THOSE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY AND 12 TO 15 YEARS IS KIND OF THE RANGE. UM AND THAT'S THE LONG END OF THE RANGE. AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN AT 15 YEARS THERE DUST AND THEY'RE GONNA FALL APART WHEN YOU WALK IN. BUT LET'S START TO BE AT THE POINT WHERE YOU'RE REALLY DONE WITH THEM, AND YOU WANT THEM REPLACED . AND SO USE YOUR RIGHT IF 2016 IS CORRECT, THEN THIS TWO YEARS IS APPROVED THERE AT 10. AND THEN THE LAST YEAR IS GONNA BE 11. SO THEY'RE DEFINITELY RIGHT ON THE EDGE, SO TO SPEAK, ASSUMING 2016. IF IT'S BEFORE THAT, THEN THEN, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE CORRECT. THERE'S MORE TIME THERE AND THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON THAT THAT WE FELT LIKE INSTEAD OF APPROVING ANOTHER THREE YEARS AND WAITING FOR THE END OF THE THREE YEARS TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. OUR RECORD INITIAL RECOMMENDATION, WHICH PLANNING COMMISSION PLAN ZONING COMMISSION, UM AGREED WITH IS THAT WE, UM, TALK ABOUT IT TWO YEARS. TRY AND GET THAT PLAN DOWN AND LET THEM BUILD THE PERMANENT BUILDING IN IN YEAR THREE. SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW ALL THAT FIT TOGETHER. BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT. I'LL LET THE APPLICANT THAT TALK. OK, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME'S BRYCE GREEN.
MY ADDRESS IS 1333 WEST MCDERMOTT ROAD IN ALLEN. AND I REPRESENT THE APPLICANT. UM MS BARLEY. I MEAN, LET ME FIRST, UM , RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTION. THE CHURCH SENT ME A COPY OF THE BILL OF SALE AND ITS DATE OF JULY OF 2016. AND SO THE 2016 MR HOOVER SHARED IS ACCURATE. SO THERE WERE PORTABLES ON CAMPUS PRIOR TO THAT, WHERE THEY REMOVED AND THESE WERE PUT IN BRAND NEW THESE WERE PUT IN BRAND NEW YES, AND THE SPACE WHERE THEY ARE NOW USED TO BE PARKING. UM, I. I FIRST DID SOME WORK FROM THE CHURCH BACK IN 2005, AND THEN AGAIN SEVERAL
[00:20:06]
YEARS LATER, AND IT WAS PARKING UNTIL THEY BUILT THE TRUMPET. WELL, ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUS DIRECTOR, THE THERE WERE PORTABLE BUILDINGS WHEN IT WAS LICENSED, WHICH WAS AROUND 2012 2013. SO MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT SINCE YOU'RE SAYING THEY RENEWED THAT THEY WERE REPLACED, SO THESE ARE THESE WERE NEW IN 2016 . SO OK, THAT'S THE INFORMATION I HAVE. OK, THANK YOU. UM SO, UH , A LITTLE MORE HISTORY FOR? UH UH, FOR THE COUNCIL, UM, IN THE SUMMER OF 2022, THE CHURCH SET OUT TO DESIGN A NEW STRUCTURE. THAT WOULD, UM ACCOMMODATE BOTH THE DAYCARE AND ADULT CLASSES.THE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS, UM SERVE FOR ADULT CLASSROOMS ON THE WEEKENDS. SO ON FRIDAY AFTERNOONS, THERE'S THIS SHUFFLE IN THE CLASSROOMS AND CHILDREN STUFF GETS PUSHED TO ONE SIDE AND GROWN UP CHAIRS GET PUT IN THEIR PLACE. AND THEN SUNDAY AFTERNOON. I LIKE ALL THAT GETS REVERSED, SO THESE BUILDINGS SERVE BOTH PURPOSES. SO WE SET OUT TO DESIGN UM A SITE PLAN AND A STRUCTURE THAT WOULD PROVIDE REPLACEMENT FOR THESE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS. AND WE GOT TO ALMOST THE 95% POINT WITHDRAWING. SO WE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PLANNING STAFF AT THE TIME.
AND OUR CIVIL ENGINEERS HERE AND HE HAD MORE CONVERSATIONS THAN I DID. UM BUT WE WERE AT A PLACE WHERE WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE SUBMITTED FOR COMMENTS. UM BUT BLUE STAR CAME TO US, AND THEY NEEDED SOME HELP, WITH SOME OFF SITE UTILITIES ON THEIR PROPERTY. AND UH, THOSE OFF SITE UTILITIES AFFECTED THE CHURCH'S SITE PLAN. AND II. I BROUGHT EXHIBITS. UM YOU PROBABLY CAN'T SEE THEM FROM THERE. SOMETIMES I HAVE A PLACE WHERE I CAN PUT THEM AND YOU CAN SEE THEM. UM, BUT, UM WE'VE SIGNED GREAT A GRADING AGREEMENT WITH BLUE STAR AND THEY'VE BEEN GRADING ON THE CHURCH'S PROPERTY. UH WE'VE EXECUTED A DRAINAGE EASEMENT. UH BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THE CITY, WHICH WE JUST RETURNED BACK TO BLUE STAR TODAY. AND THEN, UM, AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF PHASE TWO. UH, GALILEO DRIVE. THERE'S AN EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT. UH, BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND BLUE STAR. ONE OF THE ISSUES WE HAD, UH, IN LAYING OUT THE SITE. AND. THAT'S RIGHT. UH ONE OF THE ISSUES WE HAD LAYING OUT THE SITE WAS A SECOND POINT OF ACCESS. AND AS YOU KNOW, NOW, THE CHURCH IS ONLY POINT OF ACCESS IS BY AN ANCIENT, UH, EASEMENT. UM WHICH WE CALL CHURCH STREET, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY A NAME STREET. UM AND SO THE CHURCH ALSO OWNS THAT ONE ACRE THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED JUST OFF OF FIRST STREET. WE COULDN'T GET THE 150 FT SEPARATION BETWEEN THE ENTRANCES. THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE. WE COULD WE COULD GET ABOUT 100 AND 1 FT. BUT THOSE WOULD BE VERY REDUNDANT ENTRANCES. SO WHEN BLUE SHARK CAME TO US AND ASKED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO GRADING AND OFF SITE DRAINAGE ON THE CHURCH'S PROPERTY. WE ASKED THEM IN RETURN FOR A SECOND POINT OF ACCESS THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY. AND THAT'S THROUGH GALILEO DRIVE. IT'S EMERGENCY ACCESS. IT'S NOT PUBLIC ACCESS. BUT THAT WOULD HAVE SATISFIED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S EXPECTATIONS. AND ACTUALLY, WE HAVE FELT A LOT BETTER WITH THAT. ALSO RATHER THAN HAVING TWO ENTRANCES RIGHT THERE, 100 FT. APART ON CHURCH STREET SO WHEN ALL OF THAT CAME TO US, UM IT MOVED OUR DETENTION POND. UM IT AFFECTED WHERE WE HAVE A LIST STATION ON THE WEST PROPERTY LINE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY ON BLUE STARS. PROPERTY UH, IT AFFECTED THE SITE PLAN. SO THE CHURCH TAPPED THE GRA AND AS THE CHURCH TAPPED THE BREAK FOR THAT THE, UH, NEED TO RENEW THE TEMPORARY BUILDING PERMIT CAME UP. AND THEN PLANNING STAFF SAID, WELL, YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE, UM, AN SUP FOR YOUR DAYCARE. AND SO THAT THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT AND I. I THINK THAT'S REALLY THE POINT OF THIS CONVERSATION IS, LET'S LET'S LET'S LEGALIZE THE DAYCARE USE. AND TREAT THE TEMPORARY BUILDING PERMITTING SEPARATELY. WHAT IS YOUR NA NEW TIMELINE? NOW FOR YOU KNOW, GETTING YOUR PLANS AND ALL OF THAT, BECAUSE WHAT I GUESS FOR ME? FOR ME. IT'S THE AGE OF THE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS THAT ARE A PROBLEM, SO I JUST I WANT TO SEE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS AND I WHAT I WOULD HATE TO SEE HAPPEN IS, YOU KNOW FIRST, FOR INSTANCE, IS A VERY GOOD PROGRAM. I KNOW KATIE BURGESS. WELL, UM AND YOUR DIRECTOR AND
[00:25:03]
YOU KNOW, I HATE WHAT I WHAT I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST IS, YOU KNOW WE YOU COME BEFORE US WITHOUT A PLAN FOR A PERMANENT BUILDING, AND THEN IT BECOMES INCUMBENT UPON US TO KEEP YOUR OPERATION GOING RIGHT BY SAYING YES TO THE TEMPORARY BUILDING. SO WHAT I WANT TO AVOID IS IN TWO YEARS WE'RE BACK AGAIN WITH WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A PLAN. WE'RE STARTING FROM SCRATCH. WE DON'T YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW WHEN WE'RE GONNA DO IT, AND THEN IT'S INCUMBENT UPON US AGAIN TO SAY YES OR NO? WHICH AFFECTS THE OPERATIONS OF YOUR OF YOUR CHILDCARE CENTER. WE'RE READY TODAY TO SUBMIT A S GP IS ADDRESSED. WE'RE READY TODAY TO SUBMIT FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL.TURN ON YOUR PLAT. IS THAT CORRECT? WE COULD DO THAT. THE CIVIL ENGINEER THERE. OH YEAH.
CASEY'S HERE. SO UM, SO WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE READY TO DO THAT, BUT I THINK A BUILDING PERMIT AT THIS TIME WOULD BE IMPRUDENT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER. UM BLUE STAR SCHEDULE. BEFORE WE COULD EVER GO VERTICAL. WE'D HAVE TO HAVE THAT EMERGENCY ACCESS IN PLACE.
IN THE FIRE LOOP. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WE COULD PROCEED THAT WAY. I'D ALSO ADD, AND YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW THIS, UH EVERY YEAR CHILDCARE LICENSING INSPECTS THE BUILDINGS.
INCLUDING THE OTHER CLASSROOMS THAT ARE IN USE. AND EVERY YEAR THE FIRE MARSHAL, UM INSPECTS THE BUILDINGS AND THE REST OF THE PROPERTY AT THE SAME TIME. SO THEY GET REGULAR INSPECTIONS.
BUT WE COULD SUBMIT, UM FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND PRELIMINARY PLAT. MY PREFERENCE JUST ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL. IF WE'RE READY FOR THAT, MAYOR, YOU WANT OTHER QUESTIONS FIRST. I DO? YEAH. YEAH. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS MAYBE NOT SO MUCH FOR THE APPLICANT BUT FOR STAFF IS A POLICY QUESTION ABOUT UM PORTABLE BUILDINGS, YOU KNOW, AND THE TIMEFRAME OF EXTENSIONS BEING ONE YEAR IF WE HAVE YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE HAVE FIRE MARSHAL INSPECTIONS IF IT'S A CHILDCARE, BUT IF IT'S NOT HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THE ONE YEAR GRANTS WE'RE ALLOCATING THAT THOSE THOSE FACILITIES ARE INSPECTED FOR SAFETY. UH, IS THERE IS THERE A PROCESS FOR THAT CURRENTLY? THE DAYCARE INSPECTIONS ARE DONE BY THE STATE BECAUSE THAT'S WHO LICENSE THOSE AND THOSE THOSE ARE YEARLY . AS FAR AS HAVING THE FIRE MARSHAL, DO THE INSPECTIONS. WE CAN CERTAINLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN AS WELL. YEAH, IF IT WASN'T USED FOR A DAYCARE FACILITY, AND WE'RE GRANTING EXTENSIONS ON A MODULAR BUILDINGS, I'M JUST LOOKING FOR A CONSISTENCY BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT, YOU KNOW, TO COUNCILMAN BARTLEY'S POINT. WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT UM BUILDINGS WERE PUT IN DIFFERENT TIMES AND MY CONCERN WITH GRANTING TO YOU, IN ESSENCE, THREE YEARS TO AN EXISTING TIME FRAME IS THAT AT SOME POINT IN TIME, YOU NEED TO HAVE AN ANNUAL INSPECTION ON THESE MODULAR BUILDINGS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, AND YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THEY NEED TO BE UM, THE PARKING LOT WAS BUILT. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BUILT AROUND THE MODULAR BUILDING. SO IT'S BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE, RIGHT? I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOME KIND OF CONSISTENT ORDINANCE THAT LOOKS AT MODULAR BUILDINGS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS VERSUS ARE YOU RECOMMENDING? THIS IS SOMETHING TO BRING FORWARD? IT IT IS, BUT YOU KNOW THE CLARIFICATION WAS GOOD. YOU KNOW, UM THAT WE DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW. SO YEP, I IF I CAN MAKE A SUGGESTION IF THEY'RE READY TO DO THIS SUB MIDDLE. NOW IN THE HOLD UP IS EXCUSE ME THE EMERGENCY ACCESS UM PERHAPS THE COUNCIL COULD CONSIDER GIVING THEM A YEAR.
RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, AND WE COULD CHECK WITH BLUE STAR. AND FIND OUT WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE I.
I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE MOVING IN A MANNER TO BE OR IN A SPEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT DONE, POSSIBLY IN THE SECOND YEAR. SO IF THEY DO THEIR ONE YEAR EXTENSION TOWARDS THE END OF THE ONE YEAR THEY MAKE TO SUBMITTAL. GET THE PERMITS. GET EVERYTHING READY TO GO. UM, WELL, NO, IT'S GONNA TAKE TIME TO BUILD IT TO FIRE MARSHAL LIKES TO HAVE THOSE SECONDARY ACCESSES IN WHEN SOMETHING GOES VERTICAL, SO WE'LL HAVE TO WORK OUR WAY THROUGH THAT. UM, BUT THAT WAY THE INSPECTIONS COULD OCCUR. YOU KNOW, DURING THIS THIS THIS FIRST YEAR WE'LL SEE WHAT WHAT? HOW IT PROGRESSES AT THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR AND THEN IF NEED BE. YOU KNOW THEY CAN COME BACK AND GET ANOTHER EXTENSION FOR THE SECOND YEAR. SO INSTEAD OF DOING TWO YEARS WITH THE
[00:30:03]
POSSIBLE THIRD, YOU COULD DO ONE YEAR WITH A POSSIBLE ONE WOULD BE THE SECOND AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET IT DONE FASTER. SO THIS ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING. WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS WE'LL TAKE I.I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I WANNA GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND HAVE COUNSEL DISCUSSION IF THAT'S OK, SO AT THIS TIME, WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? OK, SEEING NONE . I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO COUNCIL DISCUSSION. SO YEAH. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT WAS PROPOSED BY MR HOOVER SEEMS TO BE A VERY PRUDENT MOVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIPLE AGING PRODUCTS THROUGHOUT TOWN FOR MODULAR BUILDINGS. I'M GONNA STICK IT TO AN ANNUAL, UH, PLACE WHERE WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT THEM FOR APPROVAL ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THAT THERE'S SOME SORT OF INSPECTION REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE CHILDCARE OR NOT. UM, I KNOW THAT THERE'S OTHER INSTITUTIONS IN TOWN THAT HAVE THOSE AS AN ONGOING USE, AND IT'S A GROWING CONCERN AS THESE BUILDINGS START TO AGE, SO I'D LIKE TO GET ON A REGULAR CONSISTENT BASIS OF A ONE YEAR REVIEW THE ID YES, I'LL MODULAR BUILDING A LOT OF THOSE. WE HAVE TWO NEW ONES GOING IN ON KIT ROAD. AS OF TODAY, BUT FOR ME, THE ISSUE REALLY IS SO TEMPORARY BUILDINGS ARE WHEN YOU HAVE OVERFLOW ISSUES AND YOU HAVE YOU YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO BUILD A PERMANENT STRUCTURE. SO YOU HAVE A TEMPORARY BUILDING TEMPORARILY WHILE YOU'RE MAKING PLANS. THE DIFFERENCE TO ME WITH THE ISD.
WHICH I AGREE. WE DO NEED TO HAVE THEM INSPECTED THAT I DON'T LIKE THE SAFETY ISSUES BEING LEFT TO THE SIDE, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS THEY'RE MAKING SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS IN COMPLETING PERMANENT BUILDINGS. AND I WHAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE US DO IS FOR ANY ENTITY USING TEMPORARY BUILDINGS FOR OVERFLOW IS THAT THEY USE THEM FOR 10 YEARS. 12 YEARS, 15 YEARS WITHOUT MAKING SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS TOWARDS A PERMANENT SPACE, SO I WOULD BE OK WITH A ONE YEAR, UM, APPROVAL. I WOULD LIKE THE APPLICANT TO COME BACK. DECEMBER JANUARY WITH SUBSTANTIAL PLANS AND A TIMELINE FOR BUILDING FINANCING, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS TOWARDS A PERMANENT SPACE BECAUSE THESE ARE NO LONGER BEING FUNCTIONING AS TEMPORARY BUILDINGS. THEY'RE FUNCTIONING AS PERMANENT BUILDINGS, AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE IN TOWN. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS WHAT WHAT IS THIS ITEM? THIS ITEM IS REALLY S FOR CHILDCARE. IT'S NOT REALLY IT IS IT IS AN SEP FOR CHILD CARE WITH. IT'S BEING TIED TOGETHER WITH THE SEPARATE THING FOR THE YES I THAT'S MY ONLY CLARIFICATION. I AGREE WITH THE DISCUSSION. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THAT PIECE. VERY, VERY UH, AND ONE THING I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE SUP. WOULDN'T EXPIRE WHERE WE'RE AT. WE'RE TYING THE INSPECTION OF THE PORTABLE BUILDING. DO IT. AND IF THERE'S NOT INSPECTED, WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING BACK AN ORDINANCE. IF WE'RE GOING TO REVOKE THE SU P, WE'D HAVE TO DO THAT BY A SEPARATE ZONING ORDINANCE. YEAH BUT WE'RE LINKING THE TWO BUT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ONE YEAR AND INSPECTION A YEAR AFTER BY A YEAR AFTER THIS APPROVAL. SO WHAT? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY IF FAILS, THE FIRE MARSHALS INSPECTION. WELL AGAIN THAT THAT WOULD RELATE TO THE ACTUAL BUILDING. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH, YOU KNOW. IF IT FAILS THE INSPECTION. WE DO SOMETHING TO THE BUILDING. THEY COULDN'T OCCUPY THE BUILDING. THE SP IS JUST THE ZONING ASPECT OF THE OF THE PROPERTY. I THINK IT STILL FUNCTION IF THE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS IF THEY COME BACK IN A YEAR, AND WE SAY WE'RE NOT RENEWING THAT THE SUP STAYS IN PLACE, THEY COULD STILL FUNCTION WITH THE PERMANENT BUILDINGS THAT THEY HAVE ON CAMPUS, RIGHT. THE ZONING COMPONENT STAYS THE SAME. AND I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT. MY I HAVE NO ISSUE SAYING YES TO THE TO THE SEP FOR 10 YEARS. I DON'T YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME IN THE ISSUE FOR ME, IS THE TEMPORARY BUILDING USE THAT TO THE APPLICATION, RIGHT? OK, I'LL MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THAT, TOO. SAY WHAT YOU JUST SAID ONE MORE TIME, SO THAT I UNDERSTAND YOU OK? THE ZONING THE APPLICATION TONIGHT IS FOR THE ZONING AND THAT STAYS WITH THE PROPERTY. ALL ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT PERMANENT ASPECT OF IT AND THE TEMPORARY ASPECT OF IT. WE? WE'RE REQUESTING WITH THE SEP THAT AS I UNDERSTAND IT TO COME BACK. WITH AN INSPECTION WITHIN A YEAR AND UPDATE THE COUNCIL ON THE PROGRESS OF THE OF THE PERMANENT STRUCTURES, WHATEVER THEY MAY BE. IF THEY FAIL IF THEY FAIL, THE INSPECTION.

UH AND I'M GONNA HAVE, UH, COUNCILMAN KOHN KIND OF UPDATE ON THE LIT PIECE OF IT. UH, WE RECEIVED THE LIP. COMMUNITIES REPORT OF COUNCILOR KOEHN ELABORATE ON THAT, UM MEANWHILE, WE WHAT WE CAME UP WITH WAY WITH OUR COMMITTEE MEETING WAS FIVE BASIC. TAKEAWAYS REGARDING BROADBAND ONE THAT WE WANTED TO ADD. UM THE IDEA OF, UH OF UH, FIBER IMPLEMENTATION, UH, AND CONNECTIVITY TO THE BUILDING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. SO THAT'S ONE OF OUR KIND OF ONE OF OUR THINGS WE'RE GONNA NEED TO WORK ON. TO THE TOWN OWNED FIBER INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS FOR YOU FOLKS ON THE C IP, UH, WE'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT, UH THEY BE CONSIDERED AND ADDED INTO THE C IP AS PART OF THOSE PROJECTS LONG TERM. WHAT WE DISCOVERED WAS THAT, UH A LITTLE WHILE AGO, PROBABLY TWO YEARS AGO, WE HAD RECOMMENDED THAT, UM, THERE WERE SLEEVES PUT UNDER THE NEW INTERSECTIONS OF NEW ROADS THAT WERE BEING BUILT. THAT IS NOT IN, UH, OCCURRING CURRENTLY. SO WE REALLY NEED TO START BUILDING THIS THIS IN, UH, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE THINGS WE GOT COMING UP ON THE C IP, UH, WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE FOR INTERSECTIONS AND NO FIBER CONNECTION FACILITIES, UH, INCLUDED IN THE FISCAL YEAR 25 BUDGET. UM, ALSO ONE TASK. THAT WE'VE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING OR IMPORTANT TO UNDERTAKE WOULD BE THE FACILITATION OF FIBER PROVIDER. UH, TO LHO A COMMUNICATION SO ESPECIALLY WHERE, UH, HOAS DO NOT HAVE A, UM I'M SORRY. NEIGHBORHOODS DID NOT HAVE AN HO. A WE COULD ACT SIMILARLY, THAT WE WOULD WITH WE'RE NOTIFYING AN H. UH, A NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT, UH, IMPROVEMENT OR C IP PROJECT, BRING THEM TOGETHER AND LET THEM DESIGNATE A, UM REPRESENTATIVE, UH, FIFTH WAS, UH, WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT ALL THESE EFFORTS ARE CONTINUING PROCESS OR CONTINUING TO BE COMMUNICATED OUT TO THE BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE. UH, PROVIDERS SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WE ARE ON TOP OF THIS. WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AND GIVE THEM KIND OF A SENSE OF URGENCY THERE AND FINALLY, UH, WE ADDRESSED A TEMPORARY CAPACITY INCREASES DURING FESTIVALS. THIS WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER BUILDING INTO THE BUDGET. I KNOW LEE. UH WE TALKED ABOUT. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE VENDORS THAT DO THIS, BUT THEY'RE REMOTE. CAN YOU TELL EVERYONE REAL QUICK? EVENING COUNCIL MAYOR. UH YEAH, WE'VE GOT CELL PHONE PROVIDERS IN THE AREA THAT WE CAN, UH CONTACT BUT SPECIFICALLY FIRST STEP, WHICH IS AN AT&T PRODUCT THAT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY NETWORK USES. WE CAN CALL THEM AND IN ADVANCE OF AN EVENT AND LET THEM KNOW WE'VE GOT SOMETHING BIG GOING ON, AND THEY CAN INCREASE CAPACITY FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, SO THEY ARE ENSURED CONNECTIVITY. UM DESPITE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE THERE, SO THAT'S ONE THING WE'D LIKE TO DO AS A STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE WHEN WE'RE DOING AN EVENT UM AND THEN WE CAN ALSO CALL OTHER CELL PROVIDERS VERIZON T MOBILE AND TELL THEM THAT WE HAVE AN EVENT GOING ON. SOMETIMES THEY CAN TEMPORARILY KIND OF OPEN THE PIPE FOR THE PUBLIC. UM A LITTLE BIT A LITTLE BIT WIDER. HOW EFFECTIVE THAT'LL I'M NOT SURE.BUT WE CAN AT LEAST ASK. YEAH, I THINK I THINK THE SPIRIT OF THAT WAS TO ESSENTIALLY I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT DOING A PROJECT OR SOMETHING DOWNTOWN, UH, WITH REGARD TO CONNECTIVITY, I THINK MAYBE THIS COULD BE A UH UH, A TARGETED I WANT TO USE THE WORD STOP GAP, BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT IT IS A TARGET. STOP GAP FOR THAT, UH, FOR THAT PARTICULAR UH, UH. ISSUE CHRIS.
DID YOU WANT TO SHARE IT WITH EVERYBODY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE LIT COMMUNITY REPORT, AND I THINK, UH, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT LAST MEETING, BUT I THINK A LOT OF US ATTENDED THAT MEETING. UM BASICALLY, UM, YOU KNOW THE STUDY THAT WE HAD UH, PARTICIPATED IN. I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND THE FINANCIAL PAGE HERE REALLY QUICK, BUT, UM THE BASIC GIST OF THEIR REPORT IN REGARDS TO PROSPER IN PARTICULAR, IS THAT WE ARE WELL SERVICED, UM IN THE BROADBAND, UH, ARENA. UM EXCEPT FOR THE GAPS. YOU KNOW THAT THAT WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING AND THEN WE ALL KNOW, UM, THERE ARE A LOT OF OPTIONS. UM THAT THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THAT TOWN WIDE LEVEL. BUT UM, I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON THE COMMITTEE HAVE, YOU KNOW, ASCERTAINED THAT THEY HIGH RISK, MAYBE NOT OUR ROLE AND ALSO, UH, HIGHLY EXPENSIVE, INCLUDING, UH, MIDDLE MILE NETWORK. UH WHICH IS, UH 3.5 MILLION AND THEN LAST MILE NETWORK, WHICH WOULD BE FULLY INTEGRATING ALL HOMES, WHICH IS IN THE EXCESS OF 40 MILLION. SO, UM BACK. BASICALLY WE'RE IT'S IT WAS A GOOD DUE
[00:45:02]
DILIGENCE PROJECT. DEFINITELY WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT TO GO, UM, ENSURE THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN, BUT, UH, WE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE A LOT OF THESE INTERIM OPTIONS THAT ARE GONNA BE MORE HELPFUL TO US. THANK YOU, CHRIS AND CRAIG. UH, ASK YOU TO DO THE LEGISLATIVE SO YOU CAN GET, UM SO A COUPLE OF KEY THINGS I'LL HIT KIND OF KIND OF GOING A LITTLE BIT IN REVERSE HERE. UH, WE TALKED ABOUT THE PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS A LITTLE BIT THIS AFTERNOON AND WHERE THAT'S TAKING US WITH OUR LOCAL, UH, DELEGATION. I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, WE'RE INTACT.FOR THE MOST PART, HAVE A RUNOFF IN OUR, UH, SENATE DISTRICT. 30 THIS I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY ONE SO FOR THE MOST PART, WE'RE IN THE KIND OF THE SAME CAST. OBVIOUSLY GENERAL ELECTION HAS TO OCCUR, BUT WE'RE WE'RE THE SAME FOR THE MOST PART. UM ALSO TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UH, THE RELEASE OF E TJ. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT THIS AFTERNOON. THAT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE NEED TO EXAMINE, BECAUSE, UH, THE LAWS HAVE CHANGED REGARDING, UH IN OR VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION. SOME OF THOSE AGREEMENTS ARE EXPIRING, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE.
UH, WE HAVE ABOUT A HALF DOZEN PIECES OF THAT ARE IN TOWN. UH A COUPLE OF THEM ARE KIND OF INTERIOR. UH, ONE IS KIND OF LARGE ONE IS A LITTLE BIT LARGER. AND THEN THERE'S ONE I'M PRESS AND THEN ONE ON FRONT HERE AND THEN A 12 ACRE PIECE ON 380. SO WE DO NEED TO REALLY KIND OF ADDRESS THAT AND HOW WE WANT TO, UH, A APPROACH THOSE PIECES? UH, FINALLY, UH, THE LAST PIECE WAS, UM WAS SALES TAX SOURCING THERE AND FRONT AND CENTER ON THAT, AND IT WOULD ARE OUR TEAM IS WORKING WITH THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE. THAT'S ALL I'LL HAVE TO SAY AT THIS POINT. FAIR ENOUGH.
SO I TURNED IT OVER TO YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UH, ANYWAY, I THINK THAT'S ALL OK, GREAT. ALL RIGHT. THAT IS ALL OF OUR TOWN SUB TOWN COUNCIL SUBCOMITTEE REPORTS, OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM WOULD BE TO POSSIBLY DIRECT TOWN STAFF TO SCHEDULE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION AT A FUTURE MEETING. I BELIEVE WE MIGHT HAVE A TOPIC. MARKETS. YOU WANNA RUN IT FORWARD, OR AMY.
AND AS WE'VE DISCUSSED JUST THE PORTABLES, UM AND LOOKING AT ANNUAL INSPECTIONS BUT ALSO THE LIFE OF THE PORTABLES. I MEAN, I THINK OUR ORDINANCE WHEN WE APPROVE IT, PORTABLE AT THE BEGINNING. I THINK IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, IT ALLOWS IT BY RIGHT FOR THREE YEARS. WHAT'S OUR NEXT STEP AFTER THAT? WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT. AND I THINK WE NEED TO AGREE AS A COUNCIL. WHAT WE THINK THE LIFE OF IT IS, YOU KNOW, DAVID SAID TODAY, 12 TO 15 YEARS IS THE LIFE OF LIFESPAN OF ONE OF THOSE. I MEAN, WE HAVE SOME PROBABLY IN TOWN THAT ARE 1012 YEARS OLD AND WE NEED TO BE. WE NEED TO BE DILIGENT ABOUT THAT, AS IT BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE. SO WOULD THAT NOT? DEPEND ON THE INSPECTION FROM THE FARM MARSHAL IN I MEAN, IF HE IF HE INSPECTS IT, AND IT PASSES BUT WE STILL GO IN AND SAY, I THINK I THINK THE COMMENTARY IS RIGHT. GO GREAT. IT DID THE FIRST THREE YEARS THAT PASSES AND THEN WE GAVE ANOTHER EXTENSION FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS. IS THEN THE QUESTION GOES. HOW MANY YEARS ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE TO RE ALLOW A TEMPORARY BUILDING TO BE A SEMI PERMANENT STRUCTURE. BUT AS LONG AS IT KEEPS PASSING FIRE MARSHAL. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I. I THINK WHAT WE'RE SAYING THE AGENDA ITEM WOULD BE A FULL DISCUSSION OF ALL OF THAT FOR US. SO UH, SAY THAT CORRECTLY TO ME, IT'S TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. I MEAN, ONE PART OF IT IS OBVIOUSLY SAFETY AND THAT'S GREAT WE NEED ESPECIALLY WHERE IT PERTAINS TO SCHOOLS AND DAYCARES. BUT THE OTHER ISSUE IS YOU KNOW? A TEMPORARY BUILDING, AS I SAID, IS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR ITS OVERFLOW. YOUR CHURCH IS OVERFLOWING. YOUR SCHOOL IS OVERFLOWING. YOU YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO BUILD A PERMANENT BUILDING, BUT AT SOME POINT, IT'S NO LONGER BEING USED AS A TEMPORARY BUILDING. YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME SUBSTANTIAL PLANS TO HAVE A TIPPERARY OF A PERMANENT SPACE. THAT'S YEAH, AND THAT'S SO WE NEED TO DECIDE AMONGST OURSELVES. WHAT'S REASONABLE THERE. YOU KNOW, FOR US TO SAY, CONTINUE SAYING YES, YES, YES, YES, YES TO EXTENSIONS. OKAY PROVISION FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS, RIGHT? OK, SO, YEAH, WE NEED TO TAKE ALL THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. OR ANYONE ELSE WITH AN AGENDA. UH, FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEM. OK THEN, IN THAT CASE, WE'RE GONNA RECESS INTO A CLOSED SESSION IN
