YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ME TAKE MY GLASSES ON AND OFF QUITE A BIT BECAUSE MY REGULAR GLASSES ARE IN THE SHOP. THESE ARE MY BACKUPS.GOING INTO A PUBLIC HEARING, THE COMMISSION IS NOT ALLOWED TO ASK QUESTIONS, RESPOND TO QUESTIONS, OR COMMENT DURING PUBLIC HEARING.
THE COMMISSIONERS WILL RESERVE ALL QUESTIONS UNTIL AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED AND THE DISCUSSION ITEM IS OPENED.

PROPERTY IS MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS 404 WEST WALNUT STREET.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A ZONING CHANGE FROM SF2 TO C1 FOR THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING A CARPORT.
RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A MIXED ZONING DESIGNATION ON THE PROPERTY, AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ENTIRE TRACK ZONE C1.
IN TERMS OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES, THE DOWNTOWN AREA IS THE TRADITIONAL CORE OF A COMMUNITY AND OF A CENTER OF ECONOMIC ENTERTAINMENT AND CIVIC ACTIVITY.
THIS IS AS WELL WITH THE CITY OF DECATUR.
THIS AREA COULD SERVE AS AN EMPLOYMENT AND SHOPPING DESTINATION.
THE PRIMARY LAND USES ARE FOR RETAIL, COMMERCIAL, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TOWN HOMES, CONDOMINIUMS, APARTMENTS.
SECONDARY LAND USES ARE CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL USES, PARKS AND OPEN SPACE.
BEFORE ANY DEVELOPMENT CAN OCCUR, THE APPLICANT WILL HAVE TO PLAT THE PROPERTY, WHICH THERE IS A REPLAT FOLLOWING THIS CASE, AND SUBMIT BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS.
THESE ARE ALL OF YOUR MAPS, THE EXISTING LAND USE, WHICH IS DOWNTOWN, EXISTING ZONING, LIKE I SAID, IS C1, AND THEN ALSO SF2.
THE PROPOSED ZONING IS C1 FOR THE ENTIRE TRACK.
WE DID NOTIFY 19 PROPERTY OWNERS AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES BACK.
STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ZC 2024-01, AND JUDGE CLARK COULD NOT BE HERE TONIGHT, HE HAD A PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENT.

COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ARE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL OR COMMENTS OR CONCERNS?
>> THIS IS JUST TO BUILD A CARPORT? IN SUPPORT OF THE HOUSE VEHICLES FOR PARKING FOR WHAT?
>> WELL, THEY'RE GOING TO WORK OUT AN AGREEMENT WITH THE ADJOINING PROPERTY, AND SO THAT PARKING WOULD BE FOR THEM, THE CARPORT.
>> OR THE ANNEX? COURTHOUSE ANNEX? OKAY.
>> DOES THE COUNTY CURRENTLY OWN THIS PROPERTY?
>> OKAY. IT WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, I JUST WASN'T SURE IF THEY ACTUALLY OWNED IT OR LEASED IT.
[00:05:01]

IT IS NOW 5:36. DEDRA.>> ITEM NUMBER 2 IS REPLAT 2024-01.
THIS IS THE SAME PROPERTY THAT YOU ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL FOR THE ZONING CHANGE.
IT'S JUDGE CLARK'S REQUEST ON BEHALF OF WISE COUNTY TO FINAL PLAT BLOCK 161R, JAMES TARLTON ADDITION.
APPROXIMATELY 0.651 ACRE TRACT OF LAND IN THE CITY OF DECATUR.
IT'S A REPLAT OF BLOCK 161 AND BLOCK 173, TARLTON ADDITION.
PROPERTY IS BEING REPLATTED AGAIN TO BUILD A CARPORT.
THE PROPERTY IS MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 404 WEST WALNUT STREET.
I WILL LET YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME CORRECTIONS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN WITH THIS PLAT, BUT THEY'RE NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH FOR US TO HAVE PULLED THE PLAT APPLICATION.
IT'S JUST SOME MINOR CHANGES WITH REGARDS TO THE SURROUNDING ZONING.
WE DID NOTIFY 33 PROPERTY OWNERS.
WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES BACK.
THE PLAT DOES MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, BUT FOR THOSE CHANGES OF THE CITY OF DECATUR ZONING ORDINANCE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND THE DESIGN STANDARDS.
STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.
>> DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE? HEARING NONE, THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS OPEN PUBLIC MEETING.

[ITEM 3: SUP2024-05 Hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council regarding a request to allow a Food Truck Park in a C-1, Restricted Business Zoning District, on approximately 0.675 acres of land located at 603 W. Main Street, Decatur, Texas.]
>> THIS IS DICK HORNBACK'S REQUEST ON BEHALF OF HORNBACK BUSINESS SUITES INC TO GRANT A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A FOOD TRUCK PARK IN A C1 RESTRICTED BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICT.
THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 0.675 ACRES OF LAND LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT 9R S L BROWN ADDITION.
PROPERTY IS MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS 603 WEST MAIN STREET.
THE PROPERTY IS FORMERLY THE MAIN STREET CAFE, AND IT'S NOW GOING TO BE, WHAT'S THE NAME OF IT SHERYL?
>> CHERRY. CHERRY PIE? CHERRY PIE.
IT'S THE PROPERTY BEHIND THE ACTUAL HOUSE THAT THEY'RE WANTING TO PUT A FOOD TRUCK.
OUR ZONING ORDINANCE WAS AMENDED AND ADOPTED MARCH 23RD, 2015, AND IT DOES PROVIDE THAT FOOD TRUCK PARKS ARE PERMITTED WITH
[00:10:03]
AN APPROVED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IN CERTAIN ZONING DISTRICTS, INCLUDING THE C1 RESTRICTED BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICT.THE APPLICATION FOR FOOD TRUCK PARK AND THE SITE PLAN ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH GRANTING THE SUP.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE SUP.
>> DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? DO YOU HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE?
>> YOU'VE GOT TO FINISH THE PRESENTATION.
>> JUMPED RIGHT IN THERE, DIDN'T I?
>> I DREW A BLANK, TOO. THESE ARE YOUR MAPS, THE EXISTING LAND USE.
IT IS IN THE DOWNTOWN LAND USE.
THEN WE DID NOTIFY 33 PROPERTY OWNERS AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES.
I'M SORRY, WE RECEIVED ONE RESPONSE, AND IT WAS IN OPPOSITION.
IT WAS FROM MR. BASTIAN, BOB BASTION.
AGAIN, THE FOOD TRUCK PARK WOULD BE IN THE BACK OF THE STRUCTURES. NEXT SLIDE.
>> WHAT WAS MR. BASTIAN OBJECTING?
>> I THINK IN YOUR PACKET, MR. BASTONS, OPPOSITION LETTER IS THERE AND IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH LITTER?
>> YES, SIR. I'M DONE. I'M SORRY. [LAUGHTER]
>> DO WE HAVE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE NOW THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS? DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE?
>> WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS HEARING THEN.
COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FOR STAFF OR ANYBODY?
>> I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT ACCESS AND PARKING.
THAT'S A PRETTY NARROW ALLEY THAT GOES DOWN TO THAT BACK THERE.
IT DOESN'T ABUT ANY STREETS EXCEPT FOR MAIN STREET OUT ON THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY.
WE HAVE ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM THAT ADDRESSES THE LITTLE LOT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.
THERE'S PARKING TO THE WEST OF OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM.
BUT IT'S A PRETTY SMALL LOT, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WILL SERVE THE RESTAURANT ITSELF AND THE TWO FOOD TRUCK.
>> COMMISSIONER LANIER, LET ME UNDERSTAND.
YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE FOOD TRUCKS GOING DOWN THAT NARROW ALLEY?
I'M SURE THEY CAN PROBABLY TRIM IT TO WHERE THEY CAN GET DOWN THERE SAFELY, BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WHERE THE PARTICIPANTS WITH CUSTOMERS WHERE THEY PARK.
>> WELL, THERE'S A PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET THAT IS PART OF THIS PROPERTY, SO THERE'S PARKING.
>> I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WOULD HANDLE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THEY WOULD EXPECT WITH THIS FOOD TRUCK COURT AND THE OTHER FOOD TRUCK COURT.
THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA, THAT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF CARS IN A SMALL SPACE.
I'M JUST NOT SURE ABOUT PARKING.
>> THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS ALSO AN SUP FOR FOOD TRUCKS?
>> FOR FOOD TRUCKS BUT NOT FOOD TRUCK PARK.
>> IT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET WHERE THEY WILL GO.
>> FOOD TRUCKS WON'T BE ALLOWED TO SERVE FROM THE OTHER PLACE.
>> IF IT'S THE PARK, THEN THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED.
>> I'M TRYING TO SEPARATE THE TWO.
YOU'VE GOT ITEM 3, WHICH IS A FOOD TRUCK PARK, ITEM 4, WHICH IS WHAT?
>> OKAY. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FOOD TRUCK PARK AND JUST FOOD TRUCKS?
>> I'M GOING TO LET WAYNE, THE FOOD TRUCK EXPERT.
[00:15:04]
>> THE FOOD TRUCK PARK PORTION OF THIS BY OUR ORDINANCE, WHEN FOOD TRUCKS SET UP AT A PLACE TO SELL, THEY HAVE TO LEAVE AT THE END OF THE DAY.
ONCE THEY'RE NOT SELLING ANYMORE, THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THAT LOCATION.
THE EXCEPTION TO THAT IS WHENEVER THEY'RE IN A LEGAL FOOD TRUCK PARK.
THERE ARE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS THEY HAVE TO MEET WITH GREASE INTERCEPTORS, PROVIDING ELECTRICITY, SEWER HOOKUPS FOR EACH OF THE TRUCKS THERE.
THEN THEY CAN STAY AT THAT LOCATION INDEFINITELY.
HOWEVER, WHENEVER THEY DO NOT HAVE ALL THOSE SETUPS, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO SET UP AND SELL BUT THEN THEY HAVE TO LEAVE AT THE END OF THE DAY.
WE'RE DEALING WITH TWO DIFFERENT PROPERTIES HERE, TWO DIFFERENT SPECIAL USED PERMITS.
EITHER PLACE WOULD REQUIRE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR FOOD TRUCKS TO BE IN THAT LOCATION.
THE ONE AT THE REAR OF THIS PROPERTY, THE ONE YOU'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT HERE IS FOR A FOOD TRUCK PARK.
THEY WILL IMPROVE THAT PROPERTY SO THAT IT HAS A INTERCEPTOR.
IT PROVIDES ELECTRICAL HOOKUPS AND WATER AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THAT.
THEY HAVE BATHROOM ACCESS AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT FOOD TRUCK PARK.
THE OTHER ONE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH IS A STREET ACROSS MAIN STREET NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT, AND THEY STILL HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IN A C-1 ZONE FOR A FOOD TRUCK TO STOP AND SELL AT THAT LOCATION.
THAT'S WHAT THE SECOND ONE IS FOR, IS JUST TO ALLOW THE FOOD TRUCKS TO STOP AND SELL AT THAT LOCATION.
HOWEVER, THEY WILL BE LEAVING EACH DAY.
>> NO. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO ASK THE SAME QUESTION.
>> NO. THE FOOD TRUCK PARK ARE SEMI PERMANENT?
>> THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE, THEY'RE GOING TO STAY THERE.
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING.
>> MASON, HOW'S THAT RIGHT THERE?
>> PERFECT. THEY ARE SEMI PERMANENT.
THEY CAN LEAVE WHEN THEY CHOOSE TO, BUT THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE EACH DAY.
>> NO, NOT THE FOOD TRUCK PARK, BUT JUST THE FOOD TRUCK, ITEM 3.
>> ITEM 4. WE'RE GETTING AHEAD OF OURSELVES.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT. WE'RE GETTING AHEAD OF OURSELVES, BUT I'M TRYING TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO AND UNDERSTAND COMMISSIONER LANIER'S CONCERNS, WHICH I'M NOT AS CONCERNED ABOUT THE FOOD TRUCK PARK, AS MUCH AS I AM TAKING UP SPACES IN A PARKING LOT THAT'S ALREADY DESIGNATED FOR CUSTOMERS TO USE FOR OTHER BUSINESSES.
>> NO, IT'S THE LOT NEXT TO THE PARKING.
>> ALL RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I'M UNCLEAR ABOUT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE PARKING LOT WAS GOING TO HAVE FOOD TRUCKS IN IT, IN ITEM 4.
>> NO. IT'S A LOT NEXT TO THE PARKING.
>> COMMISSIONERS, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT, LET ME GO AHEAD AND LET'S FINISH UP ITEM 3, AND THEN WE CAN GO INTO ITEM 4, AND THEN WE CAN GO BACK AND REHASH AGAIN.
>> WELL, I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
I GUESS BUILDING ON COMMISSIONER LANIER'S CONCERN, WE HAVE ORDINANCES THAT SPECIFY HOW MANY SPACES YOU SHOULD HAVE FOR BUSINESSES.
IF YOU ADD THE NUMBER OF SPACES REQUIRED FOR THE CHERRY PIE THING, IN ADDITION TO THE NUMBER OF SPACES FOR THIS NEW FOOD TRUCK PARK, IS THAT PARKING LOT SUFFICIENT?
>> WE DON'T REALLY HAVE PARKING DESIGNATION FOR A FOOD TRUCK PARK.
THE PARKING MEETS THE BUILDING REQUIREMENT.
>> ARE THERE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FOOD TRUCK PARK? I'M GETTING THE TERMS FOR THE PARK.
>> WE DON'T HAVE ANY SET PARKING.
>> THERE'S NO SET PARKING FOR NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES FOR FOOD TRUCK PARK.
THERE THERE ARE REGULATIONS FOR THE FOOD TRUCK PARK, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE PARKING WITH THAT. OKAY.
>> THERE'S NO SPECIFIC LIKE THIS FOOD TRUCK PARK IS INTENDED FOR TAKEAWAY FOOD OR EAT ON SITE FOOD, BECAUSE I GUESS THEY COULD POTENTIALLY EAT ON SITE.
>> I THINK THEY'RE PROBABLY PLANNING ON BOTH.
[00:20:01]
>> BOTH. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD THINK TOO.
>> BECAUSE IF YOU REMEMBER OR RECALL THE MAIN STREET CAFE, THEY HAD THAT OUTDOOR AREA THEY WERE SITTING IN.
>> I SUSPECT THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO ENHANCE THE BUSINESS OF THE EXISTING RESTAURANT HAVING SOME OTHER OPTIONS, SO MORE PEOPLE WILL COME.
SOMEONE SAYS, I DON'T WANT TO GO AND EAT A SANDWICH AT MAIN STREET OR A CHERRY PIE.
I WANT TO TACO. WELL, THERE'S A TRUCK FOR THAT.
I DON'T SEE IT INCREASING THE TRAFFIC DRAMATICALLY.
I THINK THEIR HOPE IS THAT WILL INCREASE THE TRAFFIC.
>> I LIKE THAT THEY HAVE ONSITE EATING PARK BENCHES, WHERE YOU GET TABLES AND AN ONSITE BATHROOM.
>> PRETTY NEAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN.
DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING?
>> I'M NOT HERE TO [OVERLAPPING]
>> NAME AND ADDRESS. IF YOU'RE GOING TO STAND UP THERE.
>> NAME AND ADDRESS STEPHANIE HUBBARD. MY ADDRESS IS 303 COMANCHE MOON TRAIL HERE IN DECATUR, TEXAS.
WE DO OWN A PROPERTY THAT IS WITHIN THIS AREA.
WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
I DO KNOW THE HORNBACKS AND I FEEL THAT IF THEY DO PUT IN THAT FOOD TRUCK PARK, IT WILL BE UP TO PAR, FIRST OF ALL.
THEN AS FAR AS THE LOT NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT IS ONE THAT THEY OWN AS WELL, I'M ASSUMING THAT THEY'RE WANTING TO PUT A FOOD TRUCK THERE THAT LEAVES AT NIGHT AND EVERYTHING.
I WOULD SAY THIS THAT IF THAT DOESN'T PASS, THEN HE WOULD PROBABLY JUST DO ADDITIONAL PROBABLY PARKING SPOTS FOR THE CHERRY PIE COMPANY AND THE FOOD TRUCK OVER THERE.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE. RECOMMENDATION.
>> WELL, I WILL RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SUP FOR THIS ITEM NUMBER 3.
>> I'VE GOT COMMISSIONER KLOSE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.
>> I'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER WOODRUFF. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.
>> THOSE OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES.
GOING BACK INTO PUBLIC HEARING ITEM FOR PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4.
[ITEM 4: SUP2024-06 Hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council regarding a request to allow Mobile Food Units in a C-1, Restricted Business Zoning District, on approximately 0.26 acres of land located at 600 W. Main Street, Decatur, Texas.]
IT IS NOW DEDRA DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?>> ITEM 4 IS DICK HORNBACK'S REQUEST ON BEHALF OF HORNBACK BUSINESS SUITES, INC TO GRANT A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW MOBILE FOOD UNITS IN A C-1 RESTRICTED BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICT.
PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 0.26 ACRES OF LAND, LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT ONE AND TWO BLOCK 161 AND PART OF BLOCK 173, TARLETON ADDITION.
PROPERTY IS MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS 600 MAIN STREET.
AGAIN, THE ZONING ORDINANCE WAS AMENDED IN MARCH 23RD, 2015, AND IT DOES PROVIDE FOR MOBILE FOOD UNITS WITH AN APPROVED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IN CERTAIN ZONING DISTRICTS, INCLUDING THE C-1 RESTRICTED BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICT.
PROPOSED APPLICATION FOR MOBILE FOOD UNITS, AND THE SITE PLAN ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH GRANTING THE SUP.
WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS SUP2024-06.
THIS IS YOUR EXISTING LAND USE, EXISTING ZONING, SAME PROPERTY, BUT ACROSS THE STREET, THE EXISTING LAND USE IS DOWNTOWN.
WE DID NOTIFY 22 PROPERTY OWNERS, DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES BACK.
NEXT SLIDE. AND THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT.
JUST EAST OF THE PARKING LOT. THAT'S IT.
>> DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM?
[00:25:01]
DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE? HEARING NONE, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING ITEM.>> IS THERE A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TRUCKS EXPECTED FOR A LOT THIS SIZE?
>> WHAT ABOUT TRASH? WHAT'S THE PROCEDURE FOR [OVERLAPPING]
>> THERE ARE REGULATIONS FOR MOBILE FOOD UNITS.
AND THAT INCLUDES THAT MOBILE FOOD UNITS HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THE AREA THAT THEY ARE UTILIZING.
THE PROPERTY OWNER OWNER IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.
MR. HORNBACK, HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD PARTNER IN THIS AND I DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT.
HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE THE TOOLS THAT'S AVAILABLE TO US THROUGH THE HEALTH ORDINANCE TO KEEP UP WITH THOSE THINGS ALSO.
>> I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION HAVING TO DO WITH LIGHTING FOR SAFETY.
ARE THERE CERTAIN HOURS THAT THOSE CAN BE THERE? DO THEY CLOSE AT 2:00 A.M. OR DO THEY CLOSE AT 9:00?
>> THERE ARE NO REQUIREMENTS IN THE ORDINANCE AS TO PROVIDING LIGHTING OR SET HOURS OF OPERATION THAT IS SOMETHING WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT THAT YOU COULD SET IF YOU CHOSE TO.
BUT THERE IS NOTHING IN THE ORDINANCE THAT SETS THAT TIME LIMITATION ON THAT.
>> I'M NOT TRYING TO JUDGE ANYTHING?
>> NO. GREAT QUESTIONS. THEY ARE GOOD.
C-2 ZONE AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE SUP IS IN PLACE FOR THE C-1 ZONE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT COMBINATION OF RESIDENTIAL AND BUSINESS USES THAT ARE MIXED IN THAT C-1 ZONE.
IT MAKES SENSE TO BRING THAT FORWARD AS AN SUP DEPENDING ON WHERE IT'S AT, SHOULD THOSE HOURS BE AMENDED THROUGH THE SUP THAT'S INCLUDED.
>> THE ONLY THING I'D BE CONSIDERED OR WANT TO KNOW IS THE MUSIC AND HOW MANY DECIBELS IT CAN BE.
>> SURE. IF THERE IS ANY MUSIC OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THAT WOULD STILL HAVE TO FALL INTO THE NOISE ORDINANCE THAT IS IN PLACE ALREADY.
I DON'T FORESEE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT.
>> YOU HAD MADE THE COMMENT EARLIER THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE AT THE END OF THE DAY.
ARE YOU SAYING THE END OF THE DAY IS NOT DEFINED?
>> IT IS NOT. IT IS WHENEVER THEY ARE NO LONGER SERVING.
>> CORRECT THAT THIS IS JUST TO RECOMMEND THIS TO THE COUNSEL AND THE COUNSEL IS GOING TO HAVE FINAL ACTION ON IT.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS, AND I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY APPROVE IT AND PASS IT ON.
BUT I DO THINK BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME THE COUNCIL FINALLY ACTS.
I DON'T WANT TO ARBITRARILY IMPOSE A CLOSING TIME WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH THE I AGREE BAG. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? ARE THEY THINKING IT NEEDS TO CLOSE BY 8:00 OR 9:00 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHEN MOST OF THE FAST FOOD PLACES CLOSE AROUND TOWN, THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.
>> MOST OF THESE ISSUES TAKE AND WORK THEMSELVES OUT.
AT 10:00 AT NIGHT, YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT LOOKING FOR A FOOD TRUCK.
AND OF COURSE, IF THE BUSINESS ISN'T THERE, THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SIT OUT THERE AND WAIT FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S NOT COMING.
GENERALLY, THESE THINGS WORK THEMSELVES OUT.
HOWEVER, YOU HAVE THAT OFF CHANCE THAT HEY, WE HAVE THIS GREAT FOOD TRUCK IDEAL AND IT'S A PERFECT SITUATION HERE AND PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW UP TO IT 1:00, 2:00 IN THE MORNING AND CREATE PROBLEMS.
>> I WOULD ALSO NOT WANT TO IMPOSE AN ARBITRARY CLOSING TIME WHEN THERE ARE DOWNTOWN EVENTS THAT DO RUN LATE.
AND SO THERE MAY BE DAYS OR EVENTS WHERE A FOOD TRUCK MIGHT WANT TO STAY OUT PAST 8:00 OR EVEN 10:00 OR WHATEVER.
>> WELL, I DIDN'T. I REST MY CASE THEN.
>> THEY ARE KNOCKING DOWN THE PROPERTY.
THEY PLAN ON MAKING IT INTO A PARKING LOT?
[00:30:03]
IS THAT ESSENTIALLY THE PLAN?>> SO THE LOT THAT THEY'RE USING FOR THIS. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?
>> NOW, THERE'S A HOME ON IT, AND.
IT'S BEEN GONE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW.
AND MAYBE I LOOKED AT THE WRONG HOUSE.
>> THEY THEY TORE THAT DOWN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.
>> AND THE RESTROOM THERE IS A FIXED RESTROOM, NOT A PORTABLE TOILET OR.
>> FOR SURE HE TALKED TO ME ABOUT THIS.
HE DID NOT WANT TO DO A PORTABLE TOILET.
HE WANTED SOMETHING. AND I'M SORRY, HE HE CALLED IT BY NAME.
I'D NEVER HEARD THAT USED BEFORE, BUT IT IS BUILT ON A FOUNDATION THAT TIES INTO WATER AND SEWER AND PROVIDES ALL OF THAT FACILITY RIGHT THERE.
IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE TO BE CLEANED OUT ON A REGULAR BASIS BY A TRUCK OR ANYTHING.
THEY WOULD KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF THE FACILITIES, BUT THIS IS A PERMANENT RESTROOM FACILITY THAT WOULD BE IN PLACE THERE.
>> THERE'S NOT ONE ON THE NAME.
>> THE ONE WE'RE DOING LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW. ITEM 4.
>> HE'S GOT A LITTLE BOX UP THERE REPRESENTING A RESTROOM.
THAT'S ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS.
>>FOR FOOD TRUCKS IS THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE A RESTROOM FACILITY NEARBY, AND THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY FOR CUSTOMERS, BUT IT'S FOR THE FOOD TRUCK OPERATORS AND A PLACE THAT THEY CAN GO.
AND HE MEETS THE REQUIREMENT WITH THIS WITH CHERRY PIE, IF THEY'RE OPEN.
NOW, HE DOESN'T IF THEY DON'T, IF THEY'RE NOT OPEN.
AND THIS WAS ONE OF HIS SOLUTIONS TO THAT IS, IF THEY'RE NOT OPEN, I STILL HAVE A RESTROOM FACILITY AVAILABLE TO THAT FOOD TRUCK.
>> AND AS FAR AS YOU KNOW THIS RESTROOM IS GOING TO BE OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY.
>> HE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A LOCK ON IT.
>> MR. HORNBACK IS A VERY SAVVY PERSON.
I THINK HE KNOWS THAT THAT'S NOT A WISE MOVE.
>> AND WAYNE, WE MIGHT NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS OFFLINE, BUT NO TRANSIENT.
IS IT GOING TO BE A PRIMARY STRUCTURE, THIS RESTROOM? BECAUSE IT'S ON A LOT.
>> SURE. I DIDN'T KNOW WITH THE COMMERCIAL FACILITY, HOW THAT WOULD WORK.
IF IT'S STILL THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY.
>> I DON'T WANT TO OPEN ANY CAN OF WORMS.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL.
>> I'VE GOT COMMISSIONER BARABEE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. I NEED A SECOND.
>> I'VE GOT COMMISSIONER LANIER FOR A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR HI. THOSE OPPOSED.
MOTION CARRIES. MOVING INTO THE NON PUBLIC HEARING ITEM,
[ITEM 5: FP2024-02 Consider and make a recommendation to City Council regarding a request to final plat an approximate 46.488-acre tract of land creating 188 lots for Meadow Creek Development, Phase 1 located west of FM 730 in the City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas.]

>> ANY QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS?
>> JUST MAKING SURE I UNDERSTAND.
THIS 30 DAY EXTENSION IS TO GET THE LETTER FROM END ENLINK OR IS IT TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS WITH THE PLAT? OR BOTH?
>> BEFORE WHEN THEY WERE REQUESTING THE 30 DAY EXTENSION OR THE EXTENSION WAITING ON THE APPROVAL FROM ENLINK.
I DIDN'T NOTICE AT THE TIME, ALL THE OTHER CONDITIONS, DUPLICATES, STREET NAMES, ALL THAT STUFF THAT'S IN THIS.
