DO WE KNOW? WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? THE CAPACITY OF THESE.

WELL, HOW MANY CHILDREN? THERE'S NOT A RESTRICTION ON THE NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET PER CHILD? NO. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I MEAN, UNLESS THERE'S SOME REGULATION, YOU KNOW, FROM THE STATE, THAT WOULD BE THEIR ISSUE.

THAT'S NOT STAFF'S ISSUE OR CONCERN.

I WAS INTERESTED ALSO IN THE NUMBERS THAT WE'RE EXPECTING IN IF OUR GROWTH IS IMPACTING THIS.

I THINK THAT'S A GREAT THING TO KNOW.

WELL, I'M CERTAIN IT IS.

COMMISSIONER, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE TALK TO US ABOUT ADDITIONAL DAYCARES PUTTING THEM IN.

SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

MR. CHAIRMAN, COULD WE BACK UP TO THE SLIDE THAT SHOWED THE FLOOR PLAN? GO AHEAD, JOHN.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. RIGHT HERE ON THE LOWER CORNER RIGHT HAND SIDE IS TALKING ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND STAFF RELOCATING THE FRONT PARKING LOT.

IS THAT FROM A FIRE EVACUATION PLAN? IS THAT OR IS.

WHERE ARE THEY? WHY ARE THEY GOING OUT IN THE PARKING LOT ON THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE SCREEN.

I CAN BARELY HEAR YOU.

WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION, JOHN? ON THE LOWER RIGHT HAND SCREEN, IT SAYS ALL STAFF AND CHILDREN WILL RELOCATE IN THE FRONT PARKING LOT.

IS THAT REFERENCING A FIRE SAFETY PLAN OR THEIR EVACUATION PLAN? BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT'S NOT ANYTHING WE REQUESTED.

OKAY, AND COMMISSIONERS AND MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY OFFER.

YES, GO AHEAD. CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY PROCESS.

THE FIRE MARSHAL WILL WORK WITH THE TENANTS OR THE OWNERS TO ESTABLISH A OCCUPANCY LOAD MAX NUMBER DURING THE CO PROCESS. SO THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND PUBLICLY POSTED DURING THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROCESS, BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY APPLY TO YOUR BUSINESS TODAY DIRECTLY. EILEEN I THINK THAT TIES IN WITH YOUR QUESTION TOO, DOESN'T IT? OKAY. MY SECOND QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE FIRE LANE.

THE WAY IT'S MARKED. I DON'T THINK A FIRE ENGINE COULD GET THROUGH THERE, BUT THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED LATER PRIOR TO THEM ACHIEVING THE CO, IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH, THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE OR THEIR DESIGNEE WOULD DETERMINE THAT WITH THE TENANTS AT THE TIME OF CO.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? OKAY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL.

I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION TO RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL OF THIS SUP.

OKAY. I'VE GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE, AND A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. I'VE GOT A SECOND.

NEXT SLIDE.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A ZONING CHANGE FROM SF-2 TO 2-F THIS ZONING CHANGE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT DECATUR 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP, AND YOU MAY RECALL.

THE OTHER HALF OF THE PROPERTY WAS REZONED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND IT HAD A DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP, AND NOW THIS GUY HAS TAKEN OVER AND HE WANTS TO REZONE THE OTHER HALF OF THE PROPERTY FOR A DUPLEX AS WELL.

THE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND AGAIN, 2-F CONSISTENT WITH TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

IN TERMS OF THE SURROUNDING ZONING, YOU HAVE SINGLE FAMILY TOO.

UM, AND I THINK THAT'S NOT CORRECT.

THERE SHOULD BE 2-F ON WEST.

COMMISSIONERS QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? YES. YES, SIR.

BECAUSE I READ IN THE PAMPHLET IT SAID TWO DUPLEXES, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WERE REFERRING TO TWO SEPARATE BUILDINGS OR IF THEY'RE CALLING A SINGLE UNIT, TWO DUPLEXES, MEANING TWO RESIDENCES IN THAT BUILDING, TWO SEPARATE DUPLEXES, ONE DUPLEX PER LOT.

SO THAT'S FOUR UNITS.

FOUR UNITS TOTAL, BUT TWO DUPLEXES.

THE OTHER LOT IS THE LOT WE'VE ALREADY REZONED.

THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT.

YES, FOR THIS LOT.

IT'S JUST ONE DUPLEX.

YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WHAT'S THE LOT WIDTH ON THIS? AND I'M ASSUMING THAT WORKS OUT TO OUR STANDARDS.

I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THAT [INAUDIBLE] LOOKS REALLY NARROW.

YES, THEY'RE REPLANTING THE PROPERTY SO THAT IT WILL.

THE TWO UNITS WILL FIT ON THE LOTS.

THAT WILL COME LATER. THAT'S COMING TONIGHT.

THAT'S THE NEXT APPLICATION.

Church Street, Decatur, Texas.]

NON-PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. ITEM NUMBER SIX.

DEDRA. ITEMS SIX AND SEVEN WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU TOGETHER.

THEY REPRESENT THE SAME PIECE OF PROPERTY, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE SEPARATE ACTION.

THIS IS ITEM V2023-11 AND V2023-12.

THIS IS CHIEF OF POLICE DELVON CAMPBELL'S REQUEST ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF DECATUR TO REDUCE THE LANDSCAPE STRIP REQUIREMENT FOR V2023-11.

THIS IS FROM 10FT TO 5FT ON APPROXIMATELY 300 LINEAR FEET ALONG EAST CHARLES STREET, WHICH IS A PUBLIC STREET, AND THEN V2023-12 IS FROM 10FT TO 0FT ON APPROXIMATELY 391.74 LINEAL FEET ALONG SOUTH HATCHER STREET, WHICH IS ALSO A PUBLIC STREET.

THE PROPERTY IS 7.89 ACRES.

IT'S. I'LL INCLUDE IT IN BLOCKS 110 AND 118.

A PORTION OF CHURCH SHORT AND TRINITY STREET SOUTH DECATUR EDITION AND IS BEING PROPOSED AS LOT ONE BLOCK ONE AND LOT ONE BLOCK TWO.

DECATUR POLICE STATION AND THE PRELIMINARY PLAT IS THE NEXT ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA.

THE PROPERTY IS MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1601 SOUTH CHURCH STREET.

PER THE EXCERPT FROM THE SECTION 107 OF OUR LANDSCAPE DESIGN OF THE DESIGN STANDARDS, IT DOES READ THAT OFFICE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS.

THESE STANDARDS APPLY TO NEW OFFICE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS.

THOSE USES LOCATED ON THE SQUARE WITH NO ON PREMISE PARKING ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS ORDINANCE.

THESE STANDARDS MAY BE MET EITHER BY SAVING EXISTING TREES ON THE SITE OR PLANTING NEW TREES FROM THE RECOMMENDED LIST.

A TEN FOOT LINEAR LANDSCAPE STRIP IS TO BE PROVIDED ADJACENT TO ALL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE STREETS EXCLUSIVE OF RIGHT OF WAY.

THE LANDSCAPE STRIP WOULD INCLUDE ONE SHADE TREE, TWO AND ONE HALF INCH CALIPER MINIMUM FOR EVERY 50 LINEAR FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THE VARIANCE FOR THE FIVE FOOT AND THE ZERO FOOT STRIP REQUIREMENT IN AN EFFORT TO PRESERVE THE HISTORICAL ROCK WALL THAT USED TO SURROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY.

NEXT SLIDE, AND WE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE A PHOTO WHERE FRIDA PROVIDED US WITH THE PHOTO FROM THE MESSENGER OF A PORTION OF THE WALL. NEXT SLIDE, AND THEN CHERYL WENT AND TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS OF WHERE THE REMNANTS OF THE WALL IS STILL LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY AND SO THE ARCHITECT THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO SAVE THAT STRUCTURE FOR POSTERITY'S SAKE.

SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF 2023-11 AND 2023-12, AND CHIEF CAMPBELL IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.

I HAVE ONE.

I AM 100% IN FAVOR OF SAVING THE ROCK WALL LIKE.

I MEAN, IT'S A HISTORIC STRUCTURE.

MY ONLY CONCERN IS, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN CONDITION THIS ON THE PRESERVATION OF THE WALL SO THAT IF 20 YEARS FROM NOW PART OF THE WALL COLLAPSES, SOMEBODY WON'T JUST COME IN AND BULLDOZE IT DOWN AND NOT PLACE ANY L

[00:20:07]

ANDSCAPING THERE, BECAUSE THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE WALL, AND IF FOR SOME REASON THE WALL GOES AWAY THROUGH TORNADO OR WHATEVER, I JUST WOULD LIKE AT THAT POINT TO SEE THE LANDSCAPING REINSTATED.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE WRITTEN INTO THIS IN ANY WAY? I THINK IT CAN.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY RESTRICTION FOR.

PLACING A CONDITION ON A VARIANCE.

[INAUDIBLE] DONE IT BEFORE.

WITH THAT CONDITION IN MIND, I'M 100% IN FAVOR OF THIS.

OKAY, THAT'S ALL. WELL, IF YOU CAN WORD YOUR MOTION IN A FASHION.

WELL, YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT [INAUDIBLE].

HANG ON. GO AHEAD.

I'M JUST QUESTIONING, IS THE WALL SOUND AT THIS POINT? LIKE, IS IT STURDY? SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KIMLEY-HORN HAS ADDRESSED.

ALSO, OUR ARCHITECTS HAVE ADDRESSED.

THERE ARE A FEW SPOTS THAT ARE GOING TO REQUIRE SOME WORK TO ENSURE THAT, BUT THAT IS OUR GOAL.

ULTIMATELY, AS OF NOW, ESPECIALLY WITH THE MUSEUM HAVING BEEN, YOU KNOW, IT'S GONE NOW, IS THAT SPEAKING WITH PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE THAT WALL IN EVERY SENSE THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN, AND OBVIOUSLY THAT WALL.

OUR PLAN IS TO BE THERE AS LONG AS OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT WOULD BE THERE AND OUR CURRENT BUILDING WOULD BE AT LEAST A 30 TO 40 YEAR BUILDING THAT WE PLAN TO HAVE IT THERE. SO EVERY SINGLE THING FROM DAY ONE FOR US HAS BEEN TO PRESERVE THAT WALL THAT WAS EXACERBATED EVEN FURTHER ONCE THE MUSEUM HAD BURNED.

SO EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING, INCLUDING TRYING TO GET THE VARIANCES TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THAT WALL IS OF THE UTMOST CONCERN FOR US AT THIS POINT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? NO, I JUST LOVE THE IDEA OF PRESERVING THE WALL.

I HAD LOOKED AT THAT PROPERTY AT SOME POINT IN THE PAST AND HAD THOUGHT THAT IF I EVER GOT IT, I WOULD PRESERVE THAT WALL FOR SURE.

I GUESS MY ONLY QUESTION IS IF WE'RE TAKING OUT TREES TO PRESERVE THE WALL, ARE WE MOVING TREES SOMEWHERE ELSE OR ARE WE JUST SAYING THERE WILL BE FEWER TREES? THEY'VE NOT PROPOSED AN ALTERNATIVE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

SO THAT MAY BE IN THE WORKS.

WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO JUST WORK WITH THEM TO SEE.

I THINK MOST OF THOSE TREES THAT ARE THERE ARE HACKBERRY TREES AND CONSIDERED JUNK TREES.

DO MORE DAMAGE TO THE WALL THAN [INAUDIBLE] TOO LOUDLY.

[INAUDIBLE] TREES, THEY'RE JUST NOT TREES THAT WE'RE PRESERVING.

RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL.

AS TO ITEM SIX, I WOULD OFFER A MOTION THAT THE VARIANCE BE GRANTED FOR SO LONG AS THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE WALL IS MAINTAINED. I'LL SECOND THAT.

PAM, DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH? I DO, FOR THE MOTION.

MY ONLY QUESTION EARLIER WAS, DO WE HAVE AN APPROPRIATE MECHANISM IN PLACE TO KEEP UP WITH THIS? WELL, PROBABLY NOT, BUT, BUT WE CAN CREATE IT.

OKAY. OKAY.

YES, THE MOTION WAS GREAT.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

I'VE GOT A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPROVE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL.

I NEED A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND THAT. I GOT COMMISSIONER CROSS FOR A SECOND.

THOSE APPROVE? AYE. THOSE OPPOSED.

THEY DO HAVE TWO ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT APPLICATIONS FOR FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCES THAT FOLLOW IN LINE WITH THE LANDSCAPE STRIP VARIANCES THAT YOU GUYS ARE RECOMMENDING TO CITY COUNCIL FOR HATCHER AND CHARLES STREET.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

ON PAGE 17 OF THE INFORMATION, IT SAYS LOT ONE BLOCK ONE AND LOT ONE BLOCK 24, BUT IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW IT, IT SAYS LOT ONE BLOCK ONE AND LOT ONE BLOCK TWO.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BLOCK TWO.

SO NOT 24? NO. SO DO I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD THE STREET THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF IT? IS THAT CHURCH STREET? CHURCH STREET GOING TO CONTINUE? YES. TO ALL CITY STANDARDS, INCLUDING CURBING GUTTERING AND SIDEWALKS.

THE FINAL PLAT LOTS 1RA1RA, 1RB AND LOT 8R BLOCK A OF THE DECATUR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ADDITION A 50.631 ACRE TRACT OF LAND.

IT'S A REPLAT OF LOT 1RA1R BLOCK A DECATUR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL EDITION LOT EIGHT BLOCK A DECATUR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ADDITION AND IT'S SITUATED IN CITY OF DECATUR AND IS LOCATED AT 2000 BEN MERRITT DRIVE AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THESE THREE CONSENT AGENDA.

DO WE HAVE SLIDES OF THE PLAT OF THE PARK? IF YOU DON'T, THAT'S OKAY.

[00:30:01]

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE WAS A TIDAL ISSUE WITH PART OF THE PARK PROPERTY AT SOME POINT.

I TAKE IT THAT'S BEEN RESOLVED? YES. WITH THE LIONS CLUB? YES. YES, SIR, AND THIS PLAT NOW INCLUDES THE EXTRA LOT THAT THE CITY ACQUIRED THAT HAD THE HOUSE ON IT SOME YEARS AGO.

YES, GREG WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY TO GET ALL OF THAT TAKEN CARE OF, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, THAT IS THE PLAN.

DO WE KNOW IS THE PLAN TO ADJUST THE CURB LINE OF THE STREET ALONG THAT LOT SO THAT IT WILL BE WIDENED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE INTERSECTION WITH THE NEXT STREET? YES, SIR, AS THE PARK DEVELOPS OVER THERE, WE'LL BRING IT TO STANDARD AND MAKE IT MATCH WHAT'S EXISTING.

THAT WOULD BE GREG'S.

THAT WOULD BE GREG'S DEAL, AND HE'S NOT HERE.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS I'VE ADVOCATED FOR SINCE WE ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY, AND IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE, BUT NEVER MIND THAT.

I'M HAPPY TO PASS THOSE NOTES ALONG.

THEY'VE ALL BEEN HEARD IN THE PAST, I'M SURE.

IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, MASON? YES. SO THERE A TOTAL OF FOUR LOTS WITH HOUSES ON THEM O UTSIDE THE PARK ON THE NORTH BOUNDARY OF THE PARK.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY THE HOSPITAL IS JUST NOW BEING [INAUDIBLE].

THEY'VE GOT SOMETHING PLANNED.

[INAUDIBLE] IS CHRIS HERE? OH, CHRIS IS ONLINE, IF YOU WANT TO ASK HIM.

JUST CURIOUS. CHRIS FORBIS.

YES. CHRIS FORBIS HERE ON BEHALF OF THE AUTHORITY.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

WOULD LIKE TO START BY SAYING I LEARNED SOMETHING.

I THUMBED THROUGH ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER, AND I WAS NOT AWARE THAT YOU COULD RESPOND TO A MOTION BY INTERLOCKING YOUR FINGERS AND DOING SOME OTHER GESTURE, BUT NOW, IF YOU'LL ASK THE QUESTION, I CANNOT HEAR THE QUESTION.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHAT WAS BRINGING ABOUT THE PLANNING OF THE HOSPITAL? RIGHT. SO AS PART OF THE AGREEMENTS THAT WE ARE STILL FINALIZING WITH HCA, SOME OF THE REAL ESTATE IS BEING RETAINED BY THE AUTHORITY AND WE'RE SELLING OTHER PARTS OF IT.

IT'S NOT A SALE OF 100% OF THE REAL ESTATE.

SO THIS HELPS US DIVIDE UP WHAT WE'RE KEEPING VERSUS WHAT WE'RE SELLING.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? CHRIS. THANK YOU, SIR.

OKAY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA, AND I'LL SECOND.
