OUR RUBIO PLANNING. GOOD EVENING SIR. PLANNING. THAT'S IT. THERE'S NOBODY ELSE. WHAT'S THAT? THERE'S NOBODY ELSE FOR PLANNING. NOBODY ELSE? NO WELL, WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU, SIR.
YEAH. THANK YOU, WE HAVE A CHAIN AND, LOCK OUT SITE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT ON HERE. YEAH SO THIS IS A, PRELIMINARY AND FINAL SUBDIVISION, A COMBINATION, SUBDIVISION FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 14 160 BLAIR DRIVE, WHICH IS LOCATED SOUTH OF BLAIR DRIVE AND EAST OF KENNESAW DRIVE. THE PRIMARY ACCESS FOR THIS PROPERTY IS FROM WEAVER. I'M SORRY. IT SHOULD BE BLAIR ROAD, IN ALL, IMPROVEMENTS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THE PROPERTY. THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON THE LEFT SIDE. SO WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS TO COMBINE TWO EXISTING M1 LOTS WITH A PORTION OF ANOTHER LOT THAT'S ALREADY SUBDIVIDED. IT'S THE SMALL PORTION DOWN HERE. LET ME SHOW YOU A PORTION OF THIS LOT HERE. SO THAT'S THE LITTLE PORTION RIGHT THERE. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE AERIAL RIGHT THERE. THAT LITTLE PORTION, AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS, IS IT'S ALREADY AN ESTABLISHED, AREA.
IT'S ALREADY GOT ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS, UTILITIES, EVERYTHING. THE THING IS, IS IT TRIGGERED THE PLAT BECAUSE OF THE ADDITION, THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO FOR OFFICES. IT DIDN'T MEET ANY OF THE EXEMPTIONS FOR SUBDIVIDING, SO THEY HAD TO SUBDIVIDE. IT'S STILL IN TRACT FORM ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS THE ZONING MAP. IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL IN ONE SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY. THIS IS THE, PRELIMINARY PLAT. AND THIS IS THE FINAL PLAT. AND AGAIN, IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE BECAUSE ALL IMPROVEMENTS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE. THEY WON'T HAVE TO DO ANY, IMPROVEMENT PLANS. THERE'S ALREADY A POND IN PLACE. EVERYTHING'S ALL TAKEN CARE OF. IT'S JUST THE PLAT ITSELF. THIS WOULD BE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE MINOR SUBDIVISION
[00:05:02]
AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE DOING, THAT GOT POSTPONED, THAT WE'RE TAKING IT TO COUNCIL, PROBABLY IN JULY 1ST, FIRST READING. WITH THAT, THERE WERE NO ADVERSE, OR PENDING COMMENTS FROM STAFF AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE REQUIREMENT OF THE SUBDIVISION BASED ON MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT REQUIREMENTS. AND, AGAIN, NO ADVERSE COMMENTS FROM ANY OF THE DEPARTMENTS OR STAFF WITH THAT. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION, I HAVE A QUESTION, COULD YOU CLARIFY IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE PLANNING DIVISION COMMENTS AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR COMMENTS HAVE ALL BEEN CROSSED OUT. DOES THAT MEAN ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED? YES, SIR.
THEY'VE BEEN ADDRESSED. I TYPICALLY PUT THEM ON THERE. SO YOU KNOW WHAT COMMENTS WERE THERE INITIALLY AND THEN HOW THEY WERE TAKEN CARE OF. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. ANY MORE COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE A MOTION, I MOVED TO APPROVE ITEM FOUR B SECOND. OKAY. ALL THE COMMISSION. BARRY I JOLLY I MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. ITEM NUMBER FOUR C DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION. THIS IS ON THE FINAL, SUBDIVISION PLAT APPLICATION FOR RANCHO UNIT 14, CASE NUMBER SD0 24-0001 TO REAFFIRM APPROVAL AND ALLOW RECORDING OF THE PLAT PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF ALL REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS SECURED BY SUFFICIENT BOND. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS A PORTION OF LEE CLARK'S SURVEY NUMBER 297, TOWN OF HORIZON CITY, EL PASO COUNTY, TEXAS, CONTAINING 18.708 ACRES PLUS OR MINUS. APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY TRAIN ASSOCIATES, LLC. CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS, ARE YOU AGAIN FOR THE RECORD? IN THIS ITEM, I WAS JUST GOING TO GO LIKE A QUICK BRIEF SUMMARY BECAUSE YOU'VE SEEN IT ALREADY. IT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL, THE APPLICANT IS NOW REQUESTING TO RECORD THE PLAT PRIOR TO THE FULL COMPLETION OF ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS. THEY PROPOSE TO DO PARTIAL IMPROVEMENTS TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP, TEN LOTS, WHICH IS THE POLICY FOR HORIZON CITY. IF THEY WANT TO DO AN EARLY START, THEY CAN DO SO BY GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS. SO IT WOULD BE REAFFIRMING THE APPROVAL OF THE SUBDIVISION AND ALSO THE APPROVAL OF, RECORDING THE PLAT PRIOR TO COMPLETING ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS. SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMPLETE THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THOSE TEN LOTS SO THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS, YOU KNOW, TO EVERYTHING, AS FAR AS IMPROVEMENTS. AND THEY HAVE SUBMITTED A BOND TO SECURE THE, ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRED, PER THE CODE, THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, THE 14. AND THIS IS THE FINAL PLAT AGAIN, THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED. AND WE'RE JUST COMING BACK FOR REAFFIRMING IT. AND THESE ARE THE PROPOSED RIGHT OF WAY, RESIDENTIAL SUBCOLLECTOR STREETS FOR THE INTERNAL ROADWAYS, AND THEN A 76 FOOT, RIGHT OF WAY FOR CLERICO THE MAIN ACCESS TO, TO THE SUBDIVISION. AND WITH THAT, THERE ARE NO PENDING OR COMMENTS, AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE EARLY RECORDING, WITH THE, PARTIAL IMPROVEMENTS AND, AND SECURING OF THAT BOND. THEY'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED THE BOND ITSELF. IT'S ALREADY BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY ENGINEERING. SO IT'S ALREADY THERE. AND THE POLICIES, TYPICALLY 15% OF THE LOTS AT 68 LOTS. SO 15% WOULD BE TEN LOTS. SOMEBODY FOLLOWING THAT WOULD CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION UNLESS THERE IS ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY. SO THIS PROCESS TO RECORD THE PLATS PRIOR TO IMPROVEMENTS, THAT'S JUST BASICALLY TO FAST TRACK THE PROCESS, CORRECT? CORRECT. YES, SIR. SOMETIMES THE DEVELOPERS, THEY WANT TO START GET A HEAD START ON ON BUILDING THE HOMES AND STUFF BECAUSE THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE LIKE BUYERS AND STUFF. SO THEY WANT TO START EARLY, WE TYPICALLY GIVE THEM A YEAR TO COMPLETE THE IMPROVEMENTS, BUT SOMETIMES THEY'D LIKE TO GET, YOU KNOW, STARTED WAY SOONER, TYPICALLY ON THE APPLICATION, THERE'S AN ITEM THAT ALLOWS THEM TO DO THIS TO, TO THEY DON'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY BUILD. THEY CAN DO EARLY RECORDING. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS MEET THE REQUIREMENT OF SUBMITTING A BOND FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE MAINTENANCE, AND THEY CAN DO THAT. OKAY, IN THIS CASE, THEY OPTED TO DO IT AFTER, YOU KNOW, ALL THIS HAPPENED. SO THEY'RE COMING BACK FOR REAFFIRMING OF THE OF THE APPROVAL. CAN YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW THE BOND WORK FOR THE COMMISSION? YES, SIR. WHAT'S THE REASON. BECAUSE I, I HONESTLY I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEAR ABOUT A BOND. SURE BEING TAKEN UP. SO, LIKE I SAID, THE, THE APPLICATION PROCESS WITHIN THE CODE DOES ALLOW FOR EARLY RECORDING, RIGHT? IF YOU WANT TO RECORD WITHOUT FINISHING ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS, SO LONG AS YOU SECURE THE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE MAINTENANCE WITH A BOND. SO THE, THE TYPICALLY THE PROCESS WOULD
[00:10:05]
BE THE, THE DEVELOPER WOULD SUBMIT A COST ESTIMATE FOR ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS, AND THE MAINTENANCE. AND THEN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT WOULD REVIEW THAT COST ESTIMATE AND APPROVE IT, AND THEN THEY WOULD SUBMIT IT, TO, TO THE CITY FOR, FOR REVIEW THROUGH YOU ALL AND THE CITY COUNCIL. SO IT WOULD GO THROUGH CITY COUNCIL MEETING. OKAY. IT'S A FORM OF INSURANCE.CORRECT. OKAY. RIGHT IT'S AS GOOD AS MONEY, I GUESS IF THEY WERE TO DEFAULT, WE WOULD JUST, TAP INTO THAT. TAP INTO THAT BOND. YES, SIR. OKAY. AND THEN DO THE IMPROVEMENTS OURSELVES.
UNDERSTOOD. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION? DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. SECOND. OKAY. ALL THE COMMISSION. I I, I, I MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU ALL
