A PUBLIC HEARING WOULD BE ON THE SUBMITTED FINAL REPLAT APPLICATION FOR HORIZON MANOR UNIT THREE, REPLAT A AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE RECORDING PLAT LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS A PORTION OF LOT 19, BLOCK NINE, HORIZON MANOR, UNIT THREE, HORIZON CT, EL PASO COUNTY, TEXAS, CONTAINING 2.2603 ACRES MORE OR LESS.APPLICANT REPRESENTATIVE SLY ENGINEERING. THAT WILL BE OUR PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. OKAY, I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE PRESENTATION. YES, YES. OKAY. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. DAVID REESE, PLANNER WITH HORIZON CITY. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A FINAL REPLAT FOR HORIZON MANOR UNIT THREE, THE LOCATION OF THE SUBDIVISION. IT IS NORTH OF THE POSSUM CIRCLE AND WEST OF TONSBERG STREET. THE REQUEST IS FOR A FINAL REPLAT FOR 16 RESIDENTIAL LOT SUBDIVISION. ON THE LEFT WE HAVE THE AREA OF THE SUBDIVISION WITH THE PROPOSED LOTS OUTLINED IN BLUE. ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE THE ZONING MAP OF THE SUBDIVISION. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LOCATION MAP. AGAIN, IT WILL BE ON BALSAM CIRCLE AND TONSBERG STREET. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE FINAL REPLAN. AGAIN OUTLINED IN YELLOW WOULD BE THE. THE LOTS IN BLUE WOULD BE THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY. THESE ARE GOING TO BE THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAYS, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A POSSUM CIRCLE AND TONSBERG STREET. BOTH ARE GOING TO BE 60FT RIGHT AWAY. THERE ARE NO PENDING COMMENTS, AND BASED ON THE APPLICATION MEETING, THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER FOUR SUBDIVISION APPLICATION PROCEDURE AND APPROVAL PROCESS.
SECTION 4.3 FINAL PLAT REQUIREMENTS PLANNING RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE SUBDIVISION PLAT ON FINAL BASIS. ANY QUESTIONS? YOU SAID THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 16 CORRECT 16 LOTS. CORRECT. DO WE SPEAK UNDER A PUBLIC HEARING OR UNDER DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION?
[00:05:01]
DISCUSSION OR RECOMMENDATION. OKAY. COULD YOU GO BACK ON THE GO BACK ONE ONE MORE. I JUST HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. HAVE THESE LOTS ALREADY BEEN SOLD TO A BUILDER OR ARE THE FOR ANYONE THAT WISHES TO BUY THEM, THAT WOULD BE MORE. ACTUALLY, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY CAN SELL THEM YET, SIR. NOT UNTIL THE SUBDIVISIONS ARE THEY UNDER CONTRACT. WE ARE. REGENCY DEVELOPER, CENTRAL MARTINEZ REGENCY HOMES. WE ARE DEVELOPING THE. OH, YOU'RE THE DEVELOPER. WE LIKE TO BUILD THEM AND SELL THEM. OKAY. YES. YES, SIR. OKAY. AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD IS THAT YOU HAVE A, A LIFT STATION RIGHT THERE ADJACENT TO THE SUBDIVISION WHERE THE CHAIN LINK FENCE IS THERE GOING TO BE, ARE YOU GOING TO PUT A ROCK WALL ADJACENT TO THAT? WE ARE PUTTING A ROCK WALL AS REQUIRED PER THE ORDINANCE. CORRECT.OKAY. THAT'S IT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? WE HAVE AN AVERAGE SIZE HOME. WE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTIONS. NO NO NO. I GUESS WE CAN START SHOULD I? I GUESS I HAVE A LOUD VOICE.
SO YOU GUYS ARE BUYING 16 HOMES BUT NO RECREATION AREA. IF YOU WANT TO. YOU WANT TO COME UP TO THE PODIUM. OKAY. I SHOULD HAVE. SHARED MY THOUGHTS. FIRST. YEAH. I GUESS THE QUESTION IS, ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO DO ANY RECREATIONAL AREAS? BECAUSE FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING, THAT'S A PARK AND WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING WHAT WE'VE BEEN WONDERING, LIKE, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT PARK? BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY TALKED TO THE MAYOR TOO. AND THEY USED TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT AS A PARK.
AND NOW, LIKE WE HAVE KIDS THAT PLAY IN THAT STREET. SO WE'RE GOING TO ADD 16 MORE HOMES. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 16 MORE KIDS PLAYING IN OUR STREET. THAT'S SO UNSAFE. WE DON'T HAVE ANY PARKS NEARBY. WE HAVE TO DRIVE TO THEM. SO MY CONCERN IS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LIKE EVEN MORE POPULATION, SO MORE KIDS PLAYING IN THE STREETS. LIKE IT'S JUST TO ME, IT DOESN'T. IF YOU'RE GOING TO ADD MORE PEOPLE, WHY NOT ADD RECREATION TO GO WITH IT? IF WE'RE ALREADY STRUGGLING WITH THAT ISSUE? THAT'S MY CONCERN BECAUSE WE, WE DO HAVE KIDS THAT ARE JUST PLAYING LIKE BASKETBALL, SOCCER, WHATEVER ON THE STREETS ITSELF. TO ME RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S SUPER CROWDED. OBVIOUSLY. IT'S IT'S LIKE A CIRCLE. BUT WITH 16 MORE PEOPLE, LIKE I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE STREET FILLED WITH KIDS OR LIKE, IT'S JUST A CONCERN FOR ME TO HAVE A LOT OF MORE PEOPLE, BUT STILL NO RECREATIONAL SPACE. I GUESS I CAN SEE YOU GUYS. WE LIVE IN THIS SIDE OF THE PARCEL. WE USUALLY HAVE LIKE A LOT OF KIDS LIKE PLAY IN THIS AREA. IT'S LIKE VERY LIKE, WELL, THEY'RE PLAYING ON THE STREET AND THEY CAN GET HIT. I PERSONALLY DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT AND I ALMOST HIT THEM TOO. AND I SPOKE AND I'M NOT GOING TO NAME WHO, BUT LIKE AROUND 3 OR 4 FAMILIES IN HERE, ESPECIALLY THE ONES HERE, THEY HAVE LIKE FIVE, SIX KIDS. THEY LIVE THERE AND ALSO LIKE THREE FAMILIES HERE THAT HAVE THEIR SUPPORT THAT THEY'VE BEEN FIGHTING ALSO JUST THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A PARK. THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR YEARS AND YEARS, AND THEY'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF THIS PARK ACTUALLY. AND THEY HAVE LIKE A REGULATION OF ALL THE STUFF LIKE THAT. ALL THE STUFF THAT USED TO BE THERE USED TO TALK TO THE MAYOR AND HE SAYS, IT'S PLAYING. I'M PLAYING IN THIS PARK AS WELL.
ALSO, LIKE SINCE WE LIVE THERE, WE KNOW THERE'S WILDLIFE THERE. THERE'S WILD COYOTES. ONE OF THE BIRDS CALLED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE QUAILS, THE QUAIL THERE. AND THERE'S ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE EAGLES OR FALCONS. THEY'RE ALSO THE LIKE IN THIS AREA. LIKE THEY LIVE A LOT BECAUSE THERE'S NO TREES HERE, BUT THEY LIVE A LOT HERE. SO THEY'RE WONDERING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE WILDLIFE. AND MOST LIKELY THE THE PARK SITUATION BECAUSE IT USED TO BE A PARK. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY USED TO OWN THE LAND AND THEN TRY TO SELL IT TO NOT TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT LIKE WE DON'T HAVE A PARK CLOSE TO OUR AREA, LIKE WE HAVE TO DRIVE LIKE A LONG TIME TO FIND A PARK. WE'RE PAYING THE SAME TAXES AS EVERYBODY ELSE. LIKE IT'S PRETTY HIGH FOR HORIZON AND. LIKE IT LOOKS LIKE. SORRY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT LIKE IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE PAYING FOR NEW HOUSES, NEW CONSTRUCTION HOUSES, TAXES, AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE PARKING. THE NEAREST PARK TO YOUR LOCATION WOULD BE THE GOLDEN EAGLE PARK. HAVE YOU HEARD OF GOLDEN NEEDLE PARK? YEAH, WE'VE BEEN THERE. YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY FUN. YEAH. LIKE
[00:10:06]
WE WE ARE BOTH REALTORS. SO WE KNOW LIKE WE ALL THE NEW CONSTRUCTION AREAS HAVE LIKE WITHIN 100 HOUSES APART, APART PARK. WHY SHOULD WE? IT LITERALLY SAYS ON GOOGLE MAPS AND LIKE IN DOCUMENTS, I'LL PARK THERE. THERE'S LIKE THE, THE CEMENT SLAB THERE USED TO BE LIKE A BASEBALL PLACE, LIKE, LIKE, JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT. YOU GUYS WANT TO SELL IT, MAKE MONEY OF IT. I DON'T SEE IT AS THE WAY. YEAH, I DON'T THINK GO AHEAD. I DON'T THINK IT WAS EVER OWNED BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY. I THINK IT WAS JUST UNDER PRIVATE OWNERSHIP. AND DURING THAT TIME, THE DEVELOPERS WOULD ALLOW. SO SO THEY PUT LIKE THE BASEBALL AREA AND THE BASKETBALL PLAYS THERE. IT WAS A PRIVATE PROPERTY. YES.AND THEY NAMED IT PARK A POSSUM PARK. YOU CAN PUT THAT ON GOOGLE MAPS AND GOOGLE'S GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT. HOW HOW WILL GOOGLE GET THE DOCUMENTS? LIKE I CAN NAME MY HOUSE DISNEYLAND. NO, NO, IT'S YOU CAN, YOU CAN YOU CAN, YOU CAN NAME ANY LOCATION ON GOOGLE MAPS. THEY DON'T REQUIRE A DOCUMENTATION FOR PROOF. YEAH, I LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE FOR THE CITY TO HAVE ACQUIRED IT. BUT OF COURSE, FINANCES DON'T DIDN'T ALLOW THAT. BUT WE DO HAVE A PROPERTY OWNER THAT IS DEVELOPING THIS. WELL, MAYBE IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT BECAUSE WITH ALL THE TAXES YOU GUYS COLLECT FROM US, MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY ONE OR MAYBE LIKE LOWER OUR TAXES. THAT WAY YOU GUYS CAN JUST SELL IT AND JUST NOT TAKE CARE OF IT. BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S FAIR FOR US.
LIVING IN HORIZON 7.928 TO PAY 3000 4000 170,000 HOME WHEN LIKE IT. EVEN THE SIDEWALKS LOOK CRAP. YEAH. HEY, DAVID, IS THERE ENOUGH ROOM TO MAKE A PARK IN THAT IN THAT AREA? I MEAN, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO PAY TO PARK. THEY'RE GOING TO PAY PARK FEES ANYWAY. WHY NOT MAKE A PIECE OF LAND? MAKE A PARK THERE. GOOD EVENING. GEORGE, WITH ENGINEERING, IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA TO PUT A PARK IN THAT IN THAT POND, BECAUSE IF YOU SEE A WE HAVE ALL THESE AREAS, THIS AREA, THIS AREA, THIS AREA, AND THOSE AREAS ARE TO ALLOW THE WATER TO COME TO THE POND. SO THAT ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD HERE, I MEAN, IT'S LIKE TAKING ALMOST HALF OF THE CITY AND TO PUT A PARK IN THERE. I MEAN, MAYBE WE CAN, BUT THAT'S A BIG PIECE OF LAND. I MEAN, THEY CAN GET A QUARTER, A QUARTER OF THAT LAND AND MAKE A PARK OUT OF IT. IT'S DEPRESSED.
I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S THAT THAT CAN BE FIXED, YOU KNOW, USE IT WHEN IT'S NOT RAINING AND THEN CREATE MAYBE LIKE A LITTLE PARK. BUT IT'S NOT ADVISABLE BECAUSE WHEN IT RAINS, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF WATER IN THAT. AS YOU GUYS CAN SEE, LIKE YOU SAID, THE WATER COLLECTS THERE A LOT.
SO THIS BRINGS A LOT OF WILDLIFE THERE. SO LIKE YOU GUYS CAN SEE IT, BUT IN THE MORNINGS AND AT NIGHT, USUALLY LIKE AROUND 7 P.M. A LOT OF WILDLIFE COMES OUT. I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE DON'T HAVE PRESENTATIONS. LIKE WE'RE NOT TOUCHING THE AREA AT ALL.
YOU'RE GOING TO AFFECT THE WILDLIFE BECAUSE THEY CROSS FROM HERE TO OVER HERE AND THEY WALK. YEAH, WELL YOU'RE AFFECTING IT, BUT ALSO LIKE YOU'RE ADDING MORE PEOPLE, MORE CROWDED STREETS AND LIKE THE WILDLIFE THAT'S GOING TO BE HERE. IS IT GOING TO BE REALLY LIKE, YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE COYOTES CROSSING THE STREET TO SEE YOUR KIDS. I ALSO DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD FULL OF KIDS JUST PLAYING ON THE STREET, BECAUSE YOU GUYS DON'T WANT TO PUT MONEY TO MAKE A PARK WHERE YOU ARE SO HAPPY. I AGREE WITH YOU. AND THEY'RE GIVING, THEY'RE GIVING YOU IDEAS AND JUST SAYING NO TO ALL OF THEM. THE CHAIR JUST TO PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT, THIS AREA USED TO BE A COUNTY PLAT, WHICH EXPLAINS WHY YOU DON'T HAVE PARKS IN THAT AREA, RIGHT? WHAT THEY'RE BRINGING IN NOW IS THE REPLACE TO ADD THOSE ADDITIONAL LOTS THAT WERE INTENDED TO BE COMPLETING THE SUBDIVISION ITSELF. THAT'S ALL RESIDENTIAL LOTS, RIGHT. SO THEY'RE COMING IN FOR THAT. NOW. AS FAR AS THE POND AREA, HISTORICALLY, IT'S BEEN USED AS A, AS A, A POND. THERE IS A PROCESS TO DO A PARK AND THAT DEALS WITH MORE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR TO BE AN OFFICIAL PARK, REGISTERED PARK AS AN INVENTORY OF A PARK. AND THAT WASN'T THE CASE. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CALLED A PARK, BUT IT WASN'T OFFICIALLY AN ACTUAL PARK, RIGHT? AS FAR AS THIS APPLICANT, HE HAS COMPLIED WITH ALL THE SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS MEETING THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR FOR PARK DEDICATION, AS FAR AS PARK DEDICATION, THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO BECAUSE IT'S ONLY 16 LOTS, RIGHT? THE TRIGGER FOR PARK DEDICATION IS 149 LOTS. RIGHT AFTER THAT, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO DO DEDICATION OF AT
[00:15:02]
LEAST ONE ACRE. SO IN THIS CASE, PARK FEES IS ALL THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO DO, WHICH THEY'LL BE REQUIRED TO PAY. RIGHT. IF I IF I MAY ADD, YOU SAID THAT THIS IS ADDITION OF OF A SUBDIVISION THAT YOU GUYS WERE BUILDING, RIGHT? NO, THIS IS A THIS IS A THIS IS AN EXISTING OLDER SUBDIVISION THAT WAS IN THE COUNTY, RIGHT. THE COUNTY'S. BUT LET ME JUST EXPLAIN TO YOU, SIR, THE COUNTY REQUIREMENTS WERE DIFFERENT BACK THEN, AND THEY STILL CONTINUE TO THAT THEY DON'T REALLY LIKE TO ACCEPT PARKS. RIGHT. SO NOW WITH THIS. IT WOULD ALSO BE LIKE ADDING THIS TO THE TO THE CURRENT ONES, IT WOULD BE MORE THAN 140. SO IT DOES REQUIRE PARKING. NO SIR. BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW SUBDIVISION. IT'S A REPLAT OF THE ORIGINAL. SO THERE'S ONLY 16 LOTS IN THIS SUBDIVISION. YOU CAN'T COUNT THE OTHER ONES. THE OTHER ONES HAVE ALREADY SATISFIED THE REQUIREMENTS FROM THE COUNTY WHEN IT WAS PLATTED AS A COUNTY PLAT CAN I. SO I GUESS OUR CONCERN IS STILL YOU'RE ADDING 16 MORE PEOPLE INTO THIS AREA AND NOTHING'S GOING TO GET DONE. LIKE WHETHER IT'S THEM OR HORIZON THEMSELVES, YOU GUYS ARE JUST NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE KIDS ON THE STREET PLAYING. THAT'S MY CONCERN. AT THE END OF THE DAY. THAT IS THE CONCERN THAT, YEAH, RIGHT NOW IT'S PEACEFUL AND WHATEVER. BUT ONCE YOU ADD THOSE 16 EXTRA HOMES, LIKE WHERE ARE THOSE PEOPLE GOING TO GO? IF WE ALREADY HAVE KIDS PLAYING IN THE STREET, LIKE, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO? YOU KNOW, THEY COULDN'T COME. BUT WE CAME ON BEHALF OF THEM. LIKE THEY HAVE BUSY SCHEDULES AND IT'S LIKE, YOU GUYS MAKE THEM VERY HARD TO GET HERE. AND AT A CERTAIN TIME, INSTEAD OF LIKE HAVING LIKE A YOUTUBE LIVE STREAM OR SOMETHING LIKE EASY ON ONLINE, YOU CAN MAKE IT HARD TO GET HERE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO THEY'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE CAN'T GET THERE. WE DON'T HAVE NO WAY THERE. LIKE WE HAVE NOTHING, BUT WE HAVE LIKE FIVE, SIX DIFFERENT FAMILIES THAT LIKE ARE STRONGLY ALSO AGAINST THIS. AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH, WE'RE SO FAR, BUT WHERE'S THIS AND THAT? AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH LIKE, THESE PEOPLE CAN'T DRIVE FAR TO THE PARK AND THEN SOMEBODY GETS IT. LIKE, IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE, LIKE, I GUESS IT'S THE DRIVER'S FAULT, BUT IT ALSO IT'S GOING TO BE HORIZON'S FAULT. YEAH. TO THE CHAIR, ALL WE COULD SAY IS THOSE ARE EXISTING CONDITIONS THAT WE CAN'T HELP BECAUSE THOSE WERE THE. THOSE WERE THE EXISTING CONDITIONS THAT THE PROPERTY WAS BROUGHT IN WHEN IT WAS ANNEXED. AND THEN WE CAN ONLY APPLY THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS TO THEM. AND THEY'RE MEETING THOSE WHICH ARE THEY DON'T NEED TO DEDICATE ANY PARK LAND. AND THEN ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PAY THOSE PARK FEES. IF THE CITY WANTS TO BUILD A PARK CLOSER TO THERE, THAT'S A DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAT THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO GIVE US AND THEN PUT IT ON THE ON THE ON THE BUDGET. SO WE NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP TO CITY COUNCIL RIGHT AT THAT TIME.EXACTLY. SO THAT WOULD BE OUT OF OUR HANDS. EXACTLY. IF YOU IF YOU WANT SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU'D HAVE TO LIKE PETITION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO, TO, TO DO THAT. SO WE NEED TO MAKE LIKE A PETITION OR LIKE A BIG DEAL, GET IT TO BECAUSE THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO LAND TO, TO BUILD THE PARTY. SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE THE TAXES GO DOWN BECAUSE LIKE, WHY ARE WE PAYING THE SAME TAX AMOUNTS OF, OF LIKE, LIKE WE SAID, LIKE THE CLOSEST PARK, THIS IS MILES AWAY LIKE FROM HERE. NO, IT'S NOT, IT'S WALKING DISTANCE. IT'S WHERE I LIVE. I LIVE THERE ON CANAL AND IT'S WALKING DISTANCE TO FLASH TO KIDS. BECAUSE IF IT WAS WALKING DISTANCE WHERE THE KIDS PLAYING ON THE STREET, YOU KNOW, LIKE IF TO YOU THAT'S FINE. BUT IF I SEE KIDS PLAYING ON THE STREET LIKE THAT TELLS ME OTHERWISE. AND IT'S ALL A PERSONAL PREFERENCE. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A PERSONAL PREFERENCE. WE CAN'T CONTROL WHAT OTHER PARENTS ARE DOING. I CAN TELL YOU GUYS IS THAT AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, WE ALREADY HAVE KIDS PLAYING ON THE STREETS AND IT IS ADDING MORE TO IT. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AND IT'S NOT JUST THERE. I'M GOING TO LET YOU KNOW. IT'S NOT JUST IN YOUR IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. CORRECT. BUT I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT NOT JUST YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ARE THEIR KIDS PLAYING ON THE STREETS? WE HAVE, WE HAVE LOTS OF WE HAVE LOTS OF CHILDREN THAT PLAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
AND WE ALSO HAVE WE HAVE THE PARK THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR THAT REASON THAT IT'S WITHIN WITHIN A CERTAIN DISTANCE. THE PARK IS, YEAH, IT'S OVER HERE. WHAT IS WHAT IS THE DISTANCE TO THE PARK? DO WE KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE A GOLDEN EAGLE PARK? WE'RE TALKING QUARTER. HOW FAR FROM HALF MILE. HOW FAR IT'S I WOULD SAY IT'S ABOUT SEVEN BLOCKS. LET'S SEE. IT'S GOLDEN EAGLE PARK. AND THEN THE KIDS, THEY LIVE WITHIN TWO MILES OF FRANK MACIAS. SO THEY DON'T GET TRANSPORTATION. SO THEY THEY WALK ON THE SIDEWALKS OR BE DROPPED OFF AND TO THE CHAIR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT TO DO IS PETITION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE UNDER THIS. OUT OF OUR HANDS. RIGHT. IT COMES TO ANY ANY REGIONAL PARKS. WE CANNOT MAKE ANY DECISIONS TO THAT. THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT WHAT OUR BOARD DOES. RIGHT. AND THIS IS THE NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS IS JUST A REQUIREMENT BY THE STATE.
BUT THIS IS NOT A ZONING CASE. THIS IS A SUBDIVISION CASE. AND THE SUBDIVISION CASES. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, IF THE APPLICANT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATE SUBDIVISION CODE,
[00:20:03]
WHICH IS WHAT HORIZON IS PUTTING OUT HERE, THEN THERE'S NO OTHER RECOURSE UNLESS YOU THINK THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OR THE ANY SECTION OF THE SUBDIVISION CODE, THEN THERE'S REALLY NOT MUCH WE COULD DO ABOUT IT. AND AGAIN, YOU'RE LIKE THE LIKE THE DIMENSIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE SEE THE DESIGNS, BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE LIKE TWO STORIES, ONE STORIES, IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE LIKE, BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE THIS AREA. AND PROBABLY LIKE AROUND HERE, THERE'S LIKE A FIRE HYDRANT. SO IF THERE'S GOING TO BE LIKE, SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET ALL THE STANDARDS OF SINGLE FAMILY, A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, WHICH CAN HAVE LIKE TWO STORIES. AND THAT'S ALL THAT COULD HAVE. AND ARE THERE GOING TO BE FOR RENTING OR FOR, FOR STUFF THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL THAT. SO IT'S REALLY UP TO THE, TO THE DEVELOPER AS FAR AS WHO THEY SELL TO AND WHAT THEY WANT TO USE IT FOR. WE CANNOT DICTATE HOW PEOPLE USE THEIR PROPERTIES, RENTAL OR FOR YOU FOR THEIR USE.WHAT IS THE CURRENT NEIGHBORHOOD? R3 A YES, R3. R3 YES SIR, IF I COULD RECALL, I THINK THERE WAS A PRIOR SUBDIVISION THAT WAS SUBMITTED THAT WOULD WOULD HAVE ALLOWED MORE LOTS ON THE PROPERTY, BUT IT WASN'T FEASIBLE. SO RIGHT NOW WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS THE, THE, THE LEAST AMOUNT OF LOTS, RIGHT? SO THIS IS JUST THE MEETING TO JUST SAY, GO AHEAD, DO IT. AND PRETTY MUCH. SO WHAT WAS THE LIKE THE CARD FOR LIKE SELLING LIKE PEOPLE JUST LIKE, HEY, LIKE WE'RE HAVING A MEETING. BUT BY THE WAY, THERE'S NOTHING YOU GUYS CAN DO. THIS IS MORE SO IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH LIKE THE BUILDING AND THE WAY, THE WAY THE HOMES ARE GOING TO BE BUILT AND CONSTRUCTED, AS LONG AS EVERYTHING CONFORMS WITH THE EXISTING AREA, THAT'S ALL WE'RE PASSING THROUGH. I THINK YOU'D HAVE TO TAKE A PETITION TO CITY COUNCIL. AND BY ALL MEANS, I'M WITH YOU GUYS. IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT, GET A LIST. I'M NOT SURE THAT THEY CAN DO ANYTHING HERE BECAUSE THAT'S ALL PRIVATELY OWNED. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY YOUR YOUR, YOUR COURSE, THE AREA. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THAT I PERSONALLY SEE IT. SO I'M LIKE, IF WE'RE GOING TO ADD MORE PEOPLE TO IT, LIKE IF I'M ALREADY HAVING AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW, LIKE IMAGINE WHEN THERE'S MORE PEOPLE LIKE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT ACROSS OUR HOME AS LONG AS WE CAN ACTUALLY WALK TO IT BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE LIKE, I'M SORRY, BUT I HAVE TO DRIVE TO GO TO THE PARKS. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I DO. I DO TO LIKE WALK WITH MY DOG, YOU KNOW? RIGHT? LIKE I HAVE TO WALK MY DOG ON CONCRETE BECAUSE I CAN'T GO TO A PARK. AND I TELL HIM YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE 60 MORE PEOPLE. SO IT'S JUST LIKE THE, THE PIECE IS NOT THERE, YOU KNOW, SO LIKE, IT KIND OF SUCKS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE ME WANT TO LIVE THERE ANYMORE. LIKE, IS THAT BAD? BUT THAT'S WHY I'M LIKE, I'M OPEN TO OTHER AREAS.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ACROSS OUR HOME EITHER. IT'S JUST HAVING THAT SPACE WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ON THE STREET. I DON'T HAVE TO BE WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK WHILE KIDS ARE PLAYING ON THE STREET, AND NOW WE'RE ADDING MORE PEOPLE INTO THAT. IT'S JUST, YEAH, LIKE THAT'S THE MAIN CONCERN. ARE YOU GUYS WHERE ARE YOU GUYS? THE PEOPLE THAT OWN THE LAND CURRENTLY? YES, SIR. YEAH. SO YOU GUYS BEEN THE ONES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF IT.
SO WE PURCHASED THE LAND AND THE IDEA WAS TO REALLY DEVELOP THE ENTIRE LAND. THAT'S MAYBE.
LET ME ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. THE WHOLE IDEA WAS TO DEVELOP THE ENTIRE LAND. NOT ONLY THE POND, ALSO DEVELOP THE POND, BUT WE REALIZED THAT THIS POND WAS BEING USED BY THE CITY FOR MANY YEARS. AND A LOT OF THE WATER, IF YOU LOOK AT THE WATER, THE FLOW OF WATER COMING INTO A POND IS HUGE. YOU LOOK AT THE CURVES, THEY'RE LIKE 12IN. THEY'RE NOT YOUR TYPICAL SIX.
SO THAT MEANS THAT AS THE ENGINEER DEVELOPED THE STUDY, WE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A TON OF WATER COMING INTO THIS PART. THAT'S WHY THE BASEBALL FIELDS AND BASKETBALL COURTS OVER THERE, THEY'RE FLOODED WITH SILT AND SAND AND THEY'RE DEFORMED. AND THEN WE TALKED TO THE HORIZON CITY AND YOU SAID, WELL, IT'S A PARK THAT WE'VE BEEN USING. WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO SELL TO US AND WE WILL MAINTAIN IT, DEVELOP IT. CAN YOU JUST DO THE HOUSES ON THE PERIMETER? FINE. WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. THAT'S WHY WE ONLY ARE SHOWING YOU SIX LOTS. I MEAN, 16 LOTS. INSTEAD OF LIKE, THE CITY TAKING CARE OF IT AND MAKING IT A PART, YOU JUST CHOSE TO SELL IT, STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT LET ME ASK YOU, HOW LONG HAVE YOU OWNED IT? LIKE FOR AT LEAST A AT LEAST I WAS A PREVIOUS OWNER, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR PARTNERS. WELL, MAYBE I CAN TELL YOU TO BE HONEST, BUT IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. SO YOU GUYS, MAYBE NOW IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ABOUT YOU GUYS DEVELOPING, BUT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE YOU GUYS HERE. YOU GUYS CODE ENFORCEMENT. NOT VERY LIKE LIKE YEAH. IF I MAY ASK LIKE A NO, NOT LIKE LIKE THAT. LIKE VERY PICKY TO HOMEOWNERS LIKE, HEY, LIKE WE CANNOT LEAVE THE TRASH OUTSIDE BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE LIKE THAT. BUT YOU GUYS BEING LIKE LEAVING YOUR WEEDS FOR THE LONGEST TIME, FOR THE LONGEST TIME, WE'VE BEEN LIKE SCRATCHING OUR CARS LIKE, WELL, LIKE KIDS CAN'T EVEN PLAY.
WE'VE BEEN LIKE, LIKE WE HAVE TO GO AND TAKE CARE OF IT. BECAUSE LITERALLY IF YOU GO RIGHT NOW, THERE'S LIKE LITERALLY STREETS GOING INTO THE STREET. SO FOR LIKE, HERE'S THIS BIG GOING ON, YOU GUYS LIKE MAKE IT HARD FOR US. LIKE ANYTHING YOU'RE LIKE, HEY, YOU
[00:25:05]
GOT TO DO IT. BECAUSE IF NOT, WE CAN PUT A CITATION. BUT WHAT ABOUT THESE BIG CORPORATIONS? YOU GUYS DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO SEND AN EMAIL TO SEND A LETTER AND BE LIKE, HEY, YOU GOT TO CLEAN UP YOUR LOT. IT'S BEEN YEARS, MAN. LIKE, WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME AND YOU JUST HAVE IT NOT TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING. LITERALLY THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE TAKE THEIR TIME. THEY GO BECAUSE THEY WANT IT TO BE A PART AND THEY'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF IT LITTLE BY LITTLE. IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS. SO IT'S EITHER LIKE YOU GUYS CAN BE OR WHATEVER. GOOD THING. MAYBE YOU GUYS WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR LAND FOR ONCE. LET ME TELL YOU, I THINK OVER TIME, BECAUSE IT'S GROWN IN WEST TEXAS, EVERY TIME IT RAINS, THEY JUST GROW. WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THOSE WEEDS. IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT USED TO BE. I KNOW THAT YOU MADE THAT TRANSITION WITH THE TOWN HORIZON, THE CITY, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME IT HAS BEEN FIXED. IT'S BECAUSE I MADE A BIG DEAL. I TALKED TO THE MAYOR AND I HAD TO LIKE MAKE A BIG DEAL AND RECORDED LINE AND MAKE A BIG DEAL BECAUSE LIKE, YOU GUYS ARE HARASSING THE HOMEOWNERS, BUT YOU GUYS HAVE LIKE ALL THESE LIKE WEEDS IN FRONT OF MY YARD, LIKE IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. ALL THESE WEEDS ARE LIKE THING YOU THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU GUYS DID IT WAS BECAUSE I MADE A BIG THING. BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, I'M LIKE, MAKE IT TO THE PUBLIC AND TELL IT LIKE, WHY ARE YOU LIKE HARASSING US SO MUCH? AND THESE PEOPLE, THEY LET US KNOW THERE'S ONLY SIX PEOPLE WORKING IN CODE ENFORCEMENT FOR THE WHOLE CITY. YEAH. TO THE CHAIR, I'M GOING TO STOP YOU THERE. WE'RE GOING A LITTLE BIT OFF TOPIC. WE'RE GOING OFF TOPIC HERE AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS, I'D RECOMMEND TO BRING IT UP TO CITY COUNCIL OR TO THE MAYOR. SINCE YOU HAVE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO HIM, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO HIM WITH THOSE ISSUES AS WELL. AND LET'S GET BACK TO THE TO THE TOPIC AT HAND, THE TOPIC. SO I UNDERSTAND, LIKE MAYBE WE'LL START KNOWING EACH OTHER A LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T TAKE THE TIME BECAUSE PEOPLE REALLY CARE, BUT DON'T TAKE THE TIME AND NOW MAKE THE TIME BECAUSE LIKE, IT HURTS FOR THE HOMEOWNERS AND FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE. I CAN'T SPEAK PEOPLE AND LIKE THE CODE ENFORCEMENT IS WHATEVER, BUT LIKE, HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS WILL TAKE CARE NOW OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF IT SINCE NOW WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND TO THE CHAIR, JUST I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE POND IS NOW A PROPERTY OF THE CITY THE CITY JUST BOUGHT IT FROM, FROM THESE FOLKS. SO THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS, BUT LATER ON, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE CAN'T MAKE IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE IT'S NOT BUDGETED. WE'D HAVE TO BUDGET IT AND THEN PUT PUT IT IN THE BUDGET AND THEN MAKE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE POND. SO THIS PONDING AREA WILL ACTUALLY BE THEIR BACKYARDS. THEY'LL, THEY ALL HAVE A ROCK WALL AROUND IT AS WELL AS THESE LOTS HERE. SO IT'LL BE JUST A ROCK WALL ALL AROUND. SO THIS AREA IS, IS, IS KIND OF DEEP. SO IT'D BE UNSAFE TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THERE PLAYING BECAUSE IF IT GETS FILLED, FILLED WITH WATER AND STUFF OR LIKE YOU SAID, ANIMALS OR WHATEVER, I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE. SO, AND THE AREA AROUND THE POND IS OKAY TO, TO BUILD HOMES ON IT. YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. CAN YOU WHAT'S THE AVERAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF EACH HOME? WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 1700 SQUARE FEET TO 2200FTā !S. OH, AND THIS AREA, I FEEL LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THEY'RE GOING TO BE, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. LIKE IN THIS, IN THIS SIMILAR TO THE OTHER LOT IN THE AREA JUST GOES, IT GOES LIKE FROM A SMALL TO TO LONG TO THE CHAIR. YEAH. I DIDN'T WANT TO GET OFF POINT. BUT AGAIN, WE REITERATE THAT THE APPLICANT MEETS ALL CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBDIVISION. AND THE SUBDIVISION IS MORE OF A IT'S NOT GRAY AND WHITE LIKE ZONING. THIS IS LIKE IF IT MEETS THE CODE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE ONLY RECOURSE LEGALLY TO TO APPROVE IT. THE CONCERNS, YOU KNOW, WE WE FEEL FOR YOU ALL AS FAR AS THE CONCERNS. BUT YOU DO YOU HAVE AN AVENUE TO GO TO COUNCIL AND PETITION THEM TO GET MORE PARKS IN THERE. AND YOU ALSO HAVE YOU CAN PETITION THEM TO GET CODE ENFORCEMENT OUT THERE FOR WHATEVER. BUT I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT THAT IS CITY OWNED NOW, AND THE CITY WILL TAKE CARE OF MAINTENANCE FOR THAT AS WELL. PLANTING ITSELF IS NOT AN ISSUE BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF WILDLIFE THERE. SO I'M ACTUALLY GLAD THAT THEY'RE NOT TOUCHING IT BECAUSE I FEEL BAD. I'M LIKE, WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO? LIKE I SAID, IT COULD BE ANYWHERE AS LONG AS IT IS NEARBY WHERE YOU CAN WALK THROUGH IT. THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE BECAUSE IF THERE IS COYOTES IN THAT AREA, BECAUSE THERE'S COYOTES THROUGHOUT THE CITY, BECAUSE THERE'S DESERT ALL AROUND US, SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SAFE TO TO PRESERVE IT FOR THE COYOTES, IN OTHER WORDS. SO. I FEEL MORE FOR THE BIRDS BECAUSE THAT'S ALL WE WELL, WE LIKE TO SEE THAT AT LEAST. WE HAVE BIRDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. AND HOPEFULLY LIKE I JUST HOPEFULLY. THOSE TIMELINES YOU MENTIONED, SIR, FROM LIKE ALREADY PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS NOW THAT WE OWN THE CITY OWNS IT AND THEN TO WHEN WE PROCESS BUDGET AND THEN NOW ACTUALLY GET LIKE WE'RE THE COMMUNITY SEES THAT IN MOTION, YOU KNOW, JUST SO THEY CAN[00:30:07]
LEAVE AWAY THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT CAN TAKE HOW LONG DEPENDING ON AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, WHAT OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE PRIORITY, YOU KNOW, THAT WE NEED TO FUND MAYBE NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS, SIX MONTHS. NO, NO, WE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON THE CAPITAL. GOTCHA. RIGHT. OKAY. IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE'D HAVE TO IDENTIFY THE FUNDS TO ACTUALLY MAKE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, EITHER THROUGH GRANTS OR THROUGH, THROUGH, YOU KNOW, FUNDING. SO ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO START LIKE IN A YEAR? SHOULD WE ALREADY BE EXPECTING THESE RESULTS TO BE SENT TO THINKING OF LIKE, HOW LONG DO BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. WE ALREADY HAVE THE PLANS AT THE CITY, THE REVIEWING IT AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SO WANTS TO REVIEW IT AND GIVE US A MINUTE, WILL START THE GRADING ON ALL THE LOCKS AND THEN JUST GO AHEAD AND. YOU KNOW, JUST PUT THOSE PETITIONS IN AND THEN JUST RELIGION, RELIGION, I DON'T KNOW WHO THE BUILDINGS ARE, BUT HOPEFULLY THEY'LL ALL BE THERE JUST CHECKING. EVERYTHING'S GOOD. WE LIKE TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR. WE'VE BEEN KNOWN TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR. SO LET US KNOW. WE'LL HAVE A SIGN THERE AND MY NAME WILL BE THERE. I CAN GIVE YOU MY MY CELL PHONE IF YOU HAVE SOME CONCERNS. YOU KNOW, WE, WE, WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL VEGETATION RIGHT NOW. IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE WHEN WE SAW IT THE FIRST TIME. THE PARK DOWN THERE, THE BASKETBALL COURT. BUT IT WAS IT WAS NOT IN GOOD CONDITION. AND YEAH, THE PARK DOESN'T MAKE SENSE HERE. BUT IF YOU MAKE THE PARK HERE AND THEN THE FENCE HERE THE SAME WAY OVER HERE, NOW IT DOES MAKE SENSE. BUT YEAH, HAVING A PARTY DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. BUT JUST TO TO THE GENTLEMAN, I'D JUST LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT THE MAIN USE FOR THAT PROPERTY IS A POND. THAT THEY USE IT FOR PARK IS ANOTHER THING, BUT IT WASN'T THROUGH THE CITY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT WAS JUST DONE PRIVATELY. BUT WE CAN ONLY USE IT FOR POND. THAT'S THE MAXIMUM USE OF THAT PROPERTY, BECAUSE YOU GOT TO REMEMBER THAT WATER IS COMING FROM BLOCKS AWAY AND IT'S GOING TO KEEP COMING. SO IF YOU HAVE LIKE AN EXCESS AMOUNT OF WATER, IF YOU HAVE A REALLY BIG STORM, LIKE MAYBE LIKE A HUNDRED YEAR STORM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT'S GOING TO FILL UP. IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE ANYBODY IN THERE, WHICH IS WHY IT'S GOING TO BE SURROUNDED BY ROCK WALLS SO THAT NOBODY ACCESSES IT FOR SAFETY REASONS. SO YOU DON'T WANT TO YOU DON'T WANT TO DO LIKE A PARK POND IN THERE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE DEEP.YEAH, I GUESS I ENGLISH IS BAD. THAT'S WHY I WAS LIKE, SURE, HAVING A PARK IS A BAD IDEA. I NEVER SAID TO HAVE A PARK HERE LIKE A PARK HERE WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT. OR HERE, LIKE HERE.
WE SEE WHY POND IS A BAD IDEA. YEAH, AS FAR AS THE PARK THERE, THE CITY DOESN'T TYPICALLY ALLOW PARKS THAT SMALL. WE TYPICALLY REQUIRE AT LEAST AN ACRE OR MORE FOR PARK. AND ALSO THAT WOULD BE LIKE A BAD LOCATION BECAUSE OF AS FAR AS AMENITIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AS FAR AS PUTTING THAT IN. AND ALSO IT'S PRIVATE HOUSES. IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY. SO WE CAN'T DICTATE AND WE CANNOT TELL THEM TO BUILD A PARK ON THEIR PROPERTY.
DO YOU NEED FOR, FOR A PARK WOULD BE SEX, WATER, WELL, PLAYGROUND THINGS, YOU KNOW.
YEAH. LIKE THINGS LIKE THAT. LIKE IT'S, IT'S WITHIN ALMOST THE, THE SIZE THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED. RIGHT. BUT IT'S ALL LIKE IT THE, THE WAY IT'S CONFIGURED, SIR. IT'S NOT A TYPICAL OF A PARK. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. YES, SIR. I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, I, I FEEL FOR YOU ALL AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND THE, THE, THE CURRENT CONDITIONS. IT WAS A COUNTY PLANT AND THE COUNTY TYPICALLY DOES NOT HAVE PARKS. I UNDERSTAND THAT I JUST WE, WE, I GUESS WHAT WE'RE FINDING IS THAT YOU'RE ADDING MORE PEOPLE AND NO RECREATION AREA, NO MATTER WHAT I WILL TELL YOU IS THAT THE MONEY THAT'S COLLECTED FOR PARK FEES HERE WILL BE USED FOR ANY FUTURE PLANS. IF THERE'S ANY LAND AVAILABLE FOR A PARK IN THAT AREA, IT HAS TO BE WITHIN THAT AREA THAT WE USE IT. WELL YOU GUYS, WHY NOT JUST LIKE BUY THIS LAND BACK AND DO IT WITHIN THIS AREA? BECAUSE NOW IT'S NOT GOING TO BE NO, NO, NO, NOT FOR YOU GUYS TO BUILD BECAUSE YOU GUYS SOLD IT ON WELL AGAINST IT BECAUSE THE PLAN WAS ALWAYS TO CONTINUE THAT SUBDIVISION. THEY JUST DIDN'T FINISH IT BACK THEN. SO WE'RE JUST ALLOWING THE OWNER TO DO THAT. MR. ALL RIGHT. EVERY TIME I. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND YOUR SUGGESTIONS. YEAH. SORRY, WE CAN'T DO MORE, BUT THERE'S JUST THE STATE LAWS AND WE GOT TO FOLLOW THAT. WE CAN GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE ON TO THE RECOMMENDATION. ARE WE ON STILL RECOMMENDATION OR ARE WE ON TO FORESEE ALREADY FOR WE STILL NEED TO DO FOR RECOMMENDATION.
[00:35:06]
WE'RE STILL ON FOR B, RIGHT? I GUESS WE WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN GO ON TO FOR B, RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND THEN WE'LL GO ON TO ITEM FOUR B DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION. MOVE TO APPROVE SUBJECT TO STAFF COMMENTS. DO I HAVE A SECOND. SECOND THE MOTION. GO AHEAD. PULL THE COMMISSION COMMISSIONER JOLLY. APPROVE. COMMISSIONER MELENDEZ, A COMMISSIONER PADILLA, A COMMISSIONER BARRY, A COMMISSIONER I COMMISSIONER A AND COMMISSIONER PARK. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY. THANK YOU. WE'LL SEE YOU GUYS FOR SURE. WHAT WAS IT, MR. JOLLY? YEAH. HE'S SECOND SECONDED. YES. OKAY. OKAY. MADAM CHAIR, NOW WE WOULD REQUEST TO MOVE. LET'S SEE, WHICH ITEM WAS IT? WHERE? THE INFORMATIONAL ITEM FIVE B SO THAT MR. JESSE SANCHEZ, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM PROJECT MANAGER, CAN GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON ON THE PROJECT. AND THEN WE'LL GO BACK TO THE OTHER ITEM THAT WE HAVE AS AS INFORMATIONAL AS WELL. OKAY, PERFECT. FIVE A 55B. YEAH, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.MADAM CHAIRWOMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS JESSE SANCHEZ. I'M HORIZON CITY'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM PROJECT MANAGER. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM. WE HAVE ABOUT 40 DIFFERENT PROJECTS ALL IN DIFFERENT PHASES OF PLANNING, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND CLOSEOUT. I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT TEN PROJECTS FOR YOU STARTING IN THE PLANNING PHASE. WE HAVE HOWARD ROAD PEDESTRIAN MALL. WE'RE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MPO METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION. WE HAVE THREE CIRCULATOR PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EL PASO TRANSIT AUTHORITY. THAT IS ONE WITH SOCORRO, UTEP AND HORIZON CITY SCHEDULED TENTATIVELY TO LET IN THE YEARS 2027, 2028 AND 2029, RESPECTIVELY. WE HAVE ONE PROJECT IN THE DESIGN PHASE, AND THAT IS DALY LAKE AND TRANSIT PLAZA. WE HAVE A HUD GRANT FOR THE DESIGN PHASE. WE HAVE A GRANT MANAGER, GUILFORD CONSULTING SERVICES HELPING US WITH THAT GRANT. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO GET A GRANT FROM THE EL PASO ELECTRIC COMPANY FOR EV CHARGING STATIONS THROUGH THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM. NICE.
WE HAVE ONE PROGRAM IN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE AND THAT IS NORTH DARRINGTON ROAD RECONSTRUCTION. THAT'S A DOT PROJECT FM 1281. AND THAT'S THE ONE RIGHT OUTSIDE OF OUR WINDOW HERE. WE HAVE FOUR PROJECTS IN THE CLOSEOUT PHASE MUNICIPAL FACILITIES PHASE ONE RIGHT NEXT DOOR. THAT'S A LOCALLY FUNDED PROJECT. AND WE HAVE THREE TECHSTUFF W FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION FUNDED PROJECTS NORTH CARNAZZO SAFETY LIGHTING, SOUTH DARRINGTON SAFETY LIGHTING AND RODMAN SHARED USE PATH. IN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. WE STAY BUSY. WE ARE A SMALL BUT MIGHTY GROUP. IN FEBRUARY 2026, WE HAD. WE CONTINUED OUR CLOSEOUT PHASE FOR OUR. FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, WE CONTINUED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES FOR THAT ONE ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. WE CONTINUE THE PLANNING PHASE ON FOUR PROJECTS. WE ADVERTISED A REQUEST FOR QUOTES FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A SELF-SUPPORT TOWER 120FT TALL. ON BEHALF OF OUR PARTNERS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WE SUBMITTED A CMAC REPORT TO THE MPO FOR CONSIDERATION OF GRANT FUNDING. CMAC STANDS FOR CONGESTION MITIGATION AIR QUALITY REPORT.
IT WAS PREPARED BY THE TEXAS TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE. WE'RE VERY PROUD TO TELL YOU THAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS IS CHANGING DIRECTIONS UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF MAYOR RENTERIA. WE WANT MORE ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. SO WE'RE GETTING CERTIFIED THROUGH TECHSTATS CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROCEDURES.
101 PROJECT PROCEDURES. LP102 CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION AND LGP103 PROFESSIONAL PROCUREMENT.
[00:40:06]
CURRENTLY, THE CITY HAS THREE PEOPLE CERTIFIED WITH LGP101, BUT BY THE END OF JULY WE'LL HAVE THREE PEOPLE, ACTUALLY FOUR PEOPLE CERTIFIED FOR ALL THREE COURSES SO THAT WE CAN MANAGE OUR OWN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. AND WE ARE DOING THIS SO THAT WE CAN CONTROL OUR COSTS BY MINIMIZING THE OUTSOURCING OF ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT SERVICES.HISTORICALLY, WHEN HORIZON CITY HAS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, WE OUTSOURCE ALL OF THE ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, AND THAT'S COSTING US HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. SO ANYTIME WE HAVE A FEDERALIZED PROJECT, MEANING THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GIVES US FUNDING THROUGH THE US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OR THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ASSOCIATION, THE FUNDING DOESN'T GO TO US DIRECTLY. IT GOES TO TXDOT. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOESN'T GIVE THE LG THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING DIRECTLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T TRUST US TO MANAGE IT, BUT THEY DO TRUST TXDOT. AND FOR PROJECT ACCOUNTABILITY, IT GOES THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UP TO TXDOT AND UP TO THE AWARDING AGENCIES. THE REASON THAT IT TRUSTS TEXTILE MORE THAN US IS BECAUSE TEX-DOT KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS THE PROJECT PROCEDURES FOR THE LETTING OF FEDERAL FUNDING. SO THERE ARE THE FISCAL AGENT. YES, SIR. YES, SIR, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. SO WHEN WE HAVE A PROJECT, WE GO THROUGH TEXDOT AND TXDOT UPGRADES, OUR ABILITY TO MANAGE THE PROJECT WITH GRADING MATRIX OF A THROUGH D, WITH A BEING THE BEST AND D BEING THE WORST OR MAXIMUM RISK. RIGHT NOW, HORIZON CITY IS RATED AS A D. ONCE THEY GIVE US THIS OVERALL RISK RATING, THEY ALSO ASSIGN AN OVERSIGHT LEVEL. TEX-DOT HAS THREE LEVELS ONE, TWO, AND THREE, WITH LEVEL ONE BEING MINIMAL OVERSIGHT, LEVEL TWO BEING MODERATE OVERSIGHT LEVEL THREE MEANING MAXIMUM OVERSIGHT BY TECH STAFF. NOW, I SAY THAT IN LIFE SOME THINGS ARE STILL FREE, BUT TEXAS OVERSIGHT IS NOT THERE. VERY EXPENSIVE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEVEL THREE WHERE WE ARE RATED RIGHT NOW, TEX-DOT IS REQUIRED TO LOOK AT OUR PROJECTS ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND TO THEIR DISCRETION. THEY CAN LOOK AT OUR PROJECTS EVEN MORE, FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE PROJECT RIGHT SIDE OF OUR WINDOW, TEX-DOT HAS A WEEKLY CONSTRUCTION REVIEW MEETINGS. THEY'VE GOT A TRANSPORTATION SUPERVISORY ENGINEER OUT HERE ALMOST EVERY DAY LOOKING AT. AND SO HIS PARTICIPATION IS NOW FREE. WE HAVE TO PAY HIM TO BE OUT HERE. HE ALSO HAS AT HIS DISPOSAL OTHER RESOURCES TO INCLUDE CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS, FINANCE PEOPLE, LABORATORY PEOPLE, AND THEY'RE ALL CHARGING US FOR THEIR OVERSIGHT SERVICES. I SPOKE ABOUT THE CMAC ANALYSIS EARLIER, THE AIR QUALITY REPORT. THIS WAS REQUESTED BY OUR PARTNERS AT THE MPO. IT WAS PREPARED BY THE TEXAS TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE IN COLLEGE STATION. THEY'RE A PART OF TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE CMAC REPORT, IT'S GOT A LOT OF FANCY NUMBERS, LOTS OF SPREADSHEETS.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST PAGE, FLIP TO IT. IT SAYS THAT THE TRANSIT PLAZA THAT WE'RE PROPOSING WILL RESULT IN MEASURABLE AIR QUALITY BENEFITS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE WERE HOPING THAT IT WOULD SAVE BECAUSE IT ADDS TO THE QUALITY OF OUR APPLICATION. THE COST OF THE REPORT WAS $7,436, AND THAT IS OUR INVESTMENT. WE HOPE TO GET A RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENT IN THE FORM OF GRANT SOURCES. SO OUR PARTNERS AT THE EL PASO TRANSIT AUTHORITY HAVE IDENTIFIED FOUR SOURCES. ONE IS THE US EPA CARBON REDUCTION PROGRAM GRANT. THAT IS A GRANT THAT REQUIRES A 20% LOCAL MATCH. WE HAVE THE UNITED STATES HUD, CDBG, CDBG GRANTS, THAT'S THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS, AND WE HAVE THE US DOT BUILD GRANTS, AND WE HAVE CONGRESSIONAL DIRECT SPENDING GRANTS. AND WE'VE SENT OUT PROBABLY ABOUT 14 SUPPORT LETTERS WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS SO THAT WE CAN GET SUPPORT FROM OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS TO TRY TO GET THIS DIRECT SPENDING GRANTS APPROVED. COULD WE USE THIS TO PAVE LIKE ALBERTON? IT'S A DIRT ROAD RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU DO HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH THERE. YES, SIR.
YES, SIR. WE SURE COULD. IN FACT, ALBERTON IS ONE OF OUR PRIORITY PROJECTS. WE HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT PRIORITY PROJECTS. SO WHICH ONE IS REALLY OUR PRIORITY PROJECT? BUT I'LL PRETEND ROAD RECONSTRUCTION OR EXTENSION IS ONE OF THOSE. ALONG WITH CANAL ROAD. OH, OKAY.
[00:45:01]
SO WE NEED THOSE ROADWAYS FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET THOSE SOUTH CANALS. I THINK IT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR LAST FISCAL LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR I THINK. BUT IT WAS BEEN POSTPONED. YES SIR. YES SIR. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.AND THAT ONE DOES HR NEED TO BE NOTIFIED SO THEY CAN IMPROVE THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE? YES, THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT. ANYTIME WE HAVE A UTILITIES, WE WANT TO HAVE SUBSURFACE UTILITIES UNDERNEATH OUR PAVEMENT SO THAT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THE UTILITY UNDERGROUND, WE COULD ALWAYS DIG UP IN OUR RIGHT OF WAY AREA TO REPAIR IT OR IMPROVE IT IF NECESSARY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. IN FACT, EVERY NOW AND THEN WE HAVE SURFACE IMPROVEMENTS TO A ROADWAY. AND WE ALWAYS CONTACT OUR PARTNERS AT THE MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR SUBSURFACE UTILITIES AND ASK THEM IF THEY WANT TO DO ANY IMPROVEMENTS WHILE THE PAVEMENT IS EXPOSED. SO IN THE CLOSEOUT PHASE, WE HAVE MUNICIPAL FACILITIES, PHASE ONE RIGHT NEXT DOOR. THIS PROJECT IS 99.9% COMPLETE. WE ARE HOPEFUL TO GET A CERTIFICATE OF SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION EXECUTED TOMORROW. FURNITURE MOVE IN HAS STARTED ALREADY. IT STARTED LAST WEEK. WE HAVE ALL THE IRRIGATION VEGETATION COMPLETE BUILDING LOCKS AND KEYS WERE RECEIVED BY HORIZON CITY'S POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE A FINAL ADA INSPECTION REPORT THAT'S DUE FOR SUBMITTAL TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATION TOMORROW. LAST MONTH, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED CHANGE ORDERS NUMBER 14, 17, 18, 20. THOSE ARE COMPLETE. I'LL GIVE YOU AN UPDATE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES. WE ALSO HAD CHANGE ORDER 16 FOR 901 SYSTEM UPGRADES CHANGE ORDER 19 FOR NEW BENCHES IN THE HOLDING CELL AREA. AND WE HOPE TO HAVE FINAL COMPLETION IN ABOUT ONE MONTH. THE COST UPDATE WAS $9,000,364, 559, AND $0.58 AS OF YESTERDAY.
THIS BUILDING HAS A GROSS FLOOR AREA OF 20,311FTā !S. AND WHEN WE DO THE MATH, IT COMES OUT TO $461.06 PER SQUARE FOOT. SO A FEW PHOTOGRAPHS OF MUNICIPAL FACILITIES. PHASE ONE, THE SIGNAGE IS IN PLACE FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND MUNICIPAL COURT, AS YOU SEE ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT. YOU SEE THE NICE SHELTER THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED. LANDSCAPING IS IN PLACE. SOD HAS BEEN INSTALLED. YOU SEE THE INTERIOR PHOTOGRAPHS. HERE ON THE LEFT IS THE MUNICIPAL COURT AREA, AND ON THE RIGHT IS A TYPICAL HALLWAY FOR POLICE SERVICES. I MENTIONED THE CHANGE ORDERS. CHANGE ORDER NUMBER 14 WAS FOR IT SYSTEM UPGRADES. THIS WAS REQUESTED BY IT SERVICES. ON THE LEFT IS A BEFORE PHOTOGRAPH, ON THE RIGHT IS AFTER AND YOU CAN SEE ON THE AFTER PHOTOGRAPHS THE NEW OUTLETS THAT WERE INSTALLED IN THE CEILING SO THAT WE CAN SUPPORT OUR NEW IT RACKS. CHANGE. ORDER NUMBER 17 WAS THE DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING ANTENNA FOOTING. THIS COST US $11,048.98. AND THE REASON WE HAD IT DEMOLISHED IS BECAUSE WE ARE RELOCATING THE EXISTING TRANSMISSION ANTENNA TO THE NEW MUNICIPAL FACILITIES. BUT OUR POLICE SERVICES WANTED TO UPGRADE THE ANTENNA. THE EXISTING TOWER IS APPROXIMATELY 50FT TALL. THE NEW TOWER IS GOING TO BE 120FT TALL. SO WE NEEDED A MUCH BIGGER BUILDING PAD. AND THIS IS THE AREA WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT IN. CHANGE. ORDER NUMBER 18 WAS REQUIRED WAS REQUESTED BY POLICE SERVICES. AND THAT IS TO REINFORCE THE STEEL MESH OF OUR HOLDING AREAS. WE HAVE FIVE HOLDING AREAS. AND ON THE PHOTOGRAPH ON THE LEFT YOU SEE THE BEFORE AND THEN ON THE ON THE RIGHT YOU CAN SEE ALL THE VERTICAL RODS THAT WERE INSTALLED TO MAKE IT A MUCH MORE ROBUST HOLDING AREA. CHANGE ORDER NUMBER 19. WE ADDED FIVE CONCRETE BENCHES IN EACH CELL AT A COST OF $15,174.90. THESE ARE STEEL REINFORCED FOUR INCHES THICK CONCRETE ON THE TOP AND ON THE SIDE AND ON THE EDGE. IT'S A BEVELED EDGE SO THAT IT'S IT DOESN'T HAVE A CORNER WHERE PEOPLE CAN GET HURT ON. CHANGE.
ORDER NUMBER 20 WAS AGAIN REQUESTED BY OUR COLLEAGUES AT POLICE SERVICES ON THE LEFT.
YOU SEE BEFORE AND WE HAVE SOME EXPOSED PLUMBING. SO WE DECIDED TO HIDE THAT BENEATH BEHIND THE
[00:50:05]
WALL ON THE RIGHT, YOU SEE THE FRUIT WALL THAT WAS COMPLETED. WE STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE PLUMBING FIXTURES VIA THESE ACCESS PANELS. SOUTH DARRINGTON ROAD SAFETY LIGHTING. THIS WAS COMPLETED A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. THIS WAS THE INSTALLATION OF 31 NEW LED STREET LAMP POSTS FROM ALBERTON TO CLARAD CUP, AND THE FINAL TEXDOT STATEMENT OF COST CAME UP TO $204,586.72.THE REASON THAT I'M SHOWING YOU THIS IS BECAUSE TEXTILE IS EXPENSIVE FOR THEIR OVERSIGHT.
THEY CHARGED US $205,000, ROUGHLY, ON A PROJECT THAT WAS VALUED AT ABOUT $950,000, WITH GRANT FUNDING THAT TOTALED ABOUT 400,000. SO YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH TEXTILE OVERSIGHT REALLY CUTS INTO THOSE GRANTS THAT WE RECEIVED. THIS IS NORTH CANAL SAFETY LIGHTING. WE INSTALLED 38 NEW LED STREET POSTS FROM HORIZON TO EAST LAKE BOULEVARD. THE FINAL STATEMENT OF COST WAS $192,122.19. RODMAN SHARED. USE PATH. THIS IS IN THE CLOSEOUT PROJECT PHASE.
THIS IS A 2023 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. THE PROJECT IS 100% COMPLETE. WE'RE WAITING FOR OUR CLOSEOUT DOCUMENTS. ON THE LEFT. YOU CAN SEE THE LAST PORTION OF THIS PROJECT THAT CONSISTED OF JUST STRIPING. SO ON THE FAR LEFT YOU SEE THAT WE STRIPED RODMAN STREET AND ON THE SHARED USE PATH, WE STRIPED WITH THE DOTTED DASHED LINES, THE SHARED USE PATH. AND IT HAS THOSE VERY NICE SOLAR POWERED ILLUMINATION BOLLARD POSTS. WE HAVE NORTH ARRINGTON RECONSTRUCTION IN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE. THAT'S OUR PROJECT RIGHT OUTSIDE. THE PROJECT IS APPROXIMATELY 55% COMPLETE FOR CONSTRUCTION AND APPROXIMATELY 75% COMPLETE FOR TIME. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT WEIRD BECAUSE THEY DON'T MATCH. ANYTIME WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION LAGGING TIME, THAT MEANS THAT THE PROJECT IS BEHIND SCHEDULE. WE DID HAVE AN EIGHT WEEK CLOSURE PLANNED FOR THIS PIECE OF DARRINGTON ROAD. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OVER ON MARCH THE 9TH, BUT WE'RE EXTENDING IT UNTIL APPROXIMATELY JULY 1ST BECAUSE THE RELOCATION OF SUBSURFACE UTILITIES TOOK A LITTLE BIT LONGER ā THAN ANTICIPATED. WE DO HAVE A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE TEXAS GAS SERVICE. THEY REMOVED SOME UTILITY CAPS ON OUR BEHALF. THAT PROJECT IS COMPLETE. WE DID HAVE SOME REPAIRS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH DRAINAGE PONDS, AND THOSE ARE IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW. THE NORTH POND WAS BRAND NEW AS PART OF THIS PROJECT. THE SOUTH POND WAS EXISTING, AND THIS IS A POND THAT'S BEHIND THE WALMART ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HARRISON BOULEVARD, THE SOUTH POND. SINCE IT WAS EXISTING, IT WAS GETTING SOME NEW STORMWATER FROM THIS RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT. SO THE CONTRACTOR HAD TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT DEEPER AND ALSO INSTALLED ANOTHER OUTLET STRUCTURE DURING A RAINSTORM. LAST SEPTEMBER, WE EXPERIENCED SOME EROSION BECAUSE THEIR PART OF THE PROJECT WAS INCOMPLETE, AND THEY'RE FIXING THAT RIGHT NOW. THE STORM DRAIN INSTALLATION FOR NORTH DARRINGTON, PART OF OUR SUBSURFACE UTILITIES THAT WAS FINISHED LAST WEEK, THE STORM DRAIN IS NOW BURIED. AND NOW YOU CAN SEE THAT PAVEMENT RIGHT OUTSIDE ABOVE THAT STORM DRAIN. WE ALSO HAD AN EMERGENCY CROSSOVER DRIVEWAY THAT WAS REQUESTED BY POLICE SERVICES.
AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. SO NORTH DARRINGTON HAD A LARGE MEDIUM HERE SEPARATING OUR NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC. AND HERE WHERE YOU SEE THE LIGHT THAT IS THE NEW MUNICIPAL FACILITIES NORTHERLY DRIVEWAY. SO THE NEW CURB CUT FOR THE EMERGENCY CROSSOVER IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT. AND IT'S GOING TO CONSIST OF A CUT THAT IS 40 LINEAR FEET WIDE. TYPE ONE CURB AND GUTTER SYSTEM. TYPE ONE MEANS THAT IT'S IT'S ALSO CALLED A ROLLED CURB. IT'S ABOUT TWO INCHES TALL AND IT'S BEVELED SO THAT PEOPLE CAN DRIVE OVER IT. AND THEY CAN DO THAT FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES. BUT THIS IS GOING TO DISCOURAGE PUBLIC USE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE AN ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION LANE. AND IT'S GOING TO BE HAVING SOME SIGNS THAT'S RESTRICTED FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE USE ONLY. WITHOUT THIS EMERGENCY CROSSOVER, OUR EMERGENCY VEHICLES, IF THEY LEAVE THE PARKING LOT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A RIGHT, COME ALL THE WAY TO THE INTERSECTION OF HORIZON AND
[00:55:03]
DARRINGTON, AND THEN LOOP AROUND JUST TO GET TO THIS POINT. SO HERE YOU SAW THE STORM SEWER PAYMENT ON THE LEFT. THAT STORM SEWER HAS BEEN BURIED AND PAVEMENT NOW EXISTS RIGHT ON TOP. YOU CAN SEE THAT WAS TIME STAMPED ON MARCH THE 9TH LAST WEEK. AND THAT WAS A PAVING PREP IN PREPARATION FOR PAVING THAT YOU SEE RIGHT NOW. I TALKED ABOUT THE NORTH AND SOUTH POND EROSION ISSUES WHERE THESE AFTER A RAINSTORM, THESE PONDS WERE SEVERELY ERODED OVER HERE WHERE THIS DRAINAGE OUTLET DRAINS INTO THE AREA. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY'RE BEING REPAIRED NOW. DELAY DELAY IN TRANSIT. THIS IS IN THE PLANNING PHASE 2023 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. THE PROJECT IS IN THE 60% DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE. THE ENGINEER OF RECORD IS G F T ENGINEERING SERVICES. WE HAVE A DESIGN BUDGET FROM THE HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR $1.7 MILLION. WE ARE CURRENTLY AUGMENTING THE SCOPE TO ACQUIRE SOME PROPERTIES THAT ARE NEEDED FOR OUR PONDING AREA IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS, AND THAT PONDING AREA IS APPROXIMATELY 0.6 ACRES. WE HAD A KICKOFF MEETING TO DISCUSS THAT PROPERTY ACQUISITION PROCESS LAST WEEK ON MARCH THE 11TH. WE'RE ALSO PROCEEDING WITH THE DESIGN FOR A DRAINAGE POND AND CROSS RIVER ROAD. WE ARE REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS. WE'RE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NOW. THE PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR THE ROADWAYS AS OF OCTOBER 25TH LAST YEAR, DELAY AND DELAY APPROXIMATELY $2 MILLION. CROSS RIVER $514,625.36, WITH A TOTAL OF ROUGHLY $2,000,513, 656 AND $0.47. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SUBSURFACE UTILITIES. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE HOWARD LOW PEDESTRIAN PATH. THIS IS IN OUR PLANNING PHASE, A 2023 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.THE ESTIMATED COST IS APPROXIMATELY $3 MILLION. THE PROJECT IS PARTIALLY FUNDED BY A TSA GRANT, AND THIS IS PART OF OUR CONNECTION WITH THE RODMAN SHARED. USE PATH IS WIDE, RIGHT WHERE I'VE GOT THE POINTER, AND THE HOWARD LOW PEDESTRIAN PATHWAY IS GOING TO EXTEND SOUTHWARD AND THEN CONNECT TO DARRINGTON ROAD HERE. AND WITH THAT SAID, THE FLOOR IS YOURS FOR QUESTIONS. OH, JUST IN NORTH DARRINGTON. WHEN THEY REOPEN THE INTERSECTION, ARE THEY GOING TO REOPEN IT ALL THE WAY TO HOMESTEAD. AND THEN EVERYBODY GOES TO THE TO THE NORTHBOUND LANES WHILE THE SOUTHBOUND LANES ARE RECONSTRUCTED? YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. AND IT'S GOING TO BE OPEN UP IN PIECES AS THEY GO FURTHER UP AND CONNECT TO EASTLAKE. OKAY. YES, WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THAT AS AS PROGRESS DEVELOPS. OKAY. AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION IS THAT AND THEN IN MAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING AT THE NEW BOARDROOM.
YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. YOU SHOULD BE MEETING IN THOSE NEW FACILITIES. OKAY. NICE. YES.
EXCITING. YES. AND THAT'S THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT I SHOWED YOU EARLIER. BUT THE ROAD'S STILL GOING TO BE CLOSED. HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THERE? IT SHOULD BE OPEN BY THAT TIME. IT'S BECAUSE ORIGINALLY IT WAS SCHEDULED FOR, WHAT, 12 WEEKS AND NOW IT'S PAST THAT. WE HAVE ACCESS. WE HAVE TEMPORARY ACCESS RIGHT NOW. BUT BY THAT TIME WE SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER ACCESS POINT ALONG NORTH DARRINGTON. OPEN ALL THE WAY TO HOMESTEAD. YES. YES, SIR.
THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT. SO I WENT ALL THE WAY UP. ONE, TWO MORE, I THINK. I KEEP GOING UP.
I THINK YOU WENT DOWN. IT'S TOWARD THE START OF THE PRESENTATION. OKAY, LET'S TAKE A LOOK. AND ON THE LEFT IS A NEW CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS. THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL BE HAVING.
IT'S A LONG TIME COMING. HORIZON CITY DESERVES IT. OH, YES. AND THAT BANISTER THERE IS THAT TO PROTECT US OR WHAT? BRING YOUR PET. THE COUNCIL AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION WILL
[01:00:05]
BE SEATED AT THE DAIS. AND THEN WE SHOULD HAVE STAFF OVER HERE. AND THEN THE GENERAL PUBLIC BEING SEPARATED BY THAT FENCING. SOME MEETINGS DO GET SPIRITED. YES, SIR. BUT WE HAVE POLICE SERVICES HERE. YES. YES, EXACTLY. ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. SANCHEZ? NO.QUICK QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. YOU SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO THAT SIDE. I DON'T KNOW IF I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY, BUT YOU SAID YOU NEEDED TO ACQUIRE SOME CAPACITY FOR THAT.
SO THAT IS FOR THE DELHI LAKE AND TRANSIT PLAZA. THAT'S NOT THE PONDS THAT WE SHOWED HERE, BUT WE HAD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS IN THE SCHEMATIC PHASE THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US BY OUR ENGINEER OF RECORD G, F, T, AND WITH GUIDANCE FROM THE MAYOR, WE DECIDED TO PUT THAT BONDING IN AN AREA SOUTH OF THE TRANSIT PLAZA SO THEY CAN GIVE US SOME SPACE FOR FUTURE GROWTH. YES, THE AREA IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. THE DESIGNER IS WORKING WITH THAT TO TO CHANNEL THE WATER INTO THAT NEW AREA. I KNOW HOMES ARE AFFECTED AND THE AREA IS RAW LAND. YES MA'AM. NO HOMES ARE AFFECTED. BUT WE DO HAVE SOME PROPERTY OWNERS IN THAT AREA. I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT SEVEN LOTS THAT WERE PLANTED, AND OUT OF THOSE SEVEN LOTS, FOUR OF THEM ARE OWNED BY THE SAME PERSON. AND WE'LL BE GOING INTO DISCUSSIONS FOR PROPERTY ACQUISITION, HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHAT WAS THE COMPLETION TIME OF THIS PROJECT? DELAY. DELAY IN TRANSIT PLAZA? WE'RE LOOKING AT ADVERTISING IT FOR BID, PROBABLY EARLY SPRING NEXT YEAR. THE DESIGN PLANS ARE DUE FOR COMPLETION AT THE END OF THIS YEAR. NICE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. SANCHEZ, FOR THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIRMAN.
THANK YOU. PRESENTATION. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL OF YOU IN THE FUTURE. THANK THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SO WE CAN GO BACK TO ITEM FOUR C. IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM AND ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE TOWN OF HORIZON CITY, TEXAS. CHAPTER 14, EXHIBIT A TO REVISE AND AMEND THE FOLLOWING. CHAPTER TEN, SECTION 1016 TO ADD AN EXEMPTION FOR CIVIC USE SIGNS ON CITY RIGHT OF WAY. PROPER NOTICE AND EFFECTIVE DATE. THE PENALTY BEING AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 810 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF HORIZON CITY, TEXAS, CREATING A MISDEMEANOR PUNISHABLE BY A FINE NOT TO EXCEED $2,000. GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS, OUR RUBIO PLANNING DEPARTMENT. SO THIS ITEM DIDN'T COME TO YOU ALL FOR REVIEW BECAUSE WE WERE DIRECTED BY CITY COUNCIL TO FAST TRACK IT, BECAUSE WE HAD A REQUEST FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR WAYFINDING SIGNS. RIGHT. AND OUR CODE CURRENTLY DIDN'T HAVE SPECIFICS ON WAYFINDING SIGNS. AND THEY NEED THOSE LIKE PRETTY QUICK, RIGHT? SO WE HAD TO EXPEDITE THAT TO GET THAT ORDINANCE GOING. AND IT'S, IT'S AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER TEN SIGN REGULATIONS, SECTION 1016 EXEMPTIONS. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING IS THAT THE CITY AND ANY TYPE OF CIVIC TYPE USE BE EXEMPT FROM ANY OF THE SIGN CODE REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T ALLOW FOR THOSE TYPES OF SIGNS. OBVIOUSLY, THESE WOULD NOT BE ADVERTISING SIGNS WOULD BE SPECIFICALLY FOR CIVIC USE FOR FOR PUBLIC USE. PUBLIC USE. YES, MA'AM. SO THE AGAIN, THE PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT IS TO REALLY TO CLARIFY AND CONSOLIDATE THESE PROVISIONS RELATED TO CIVIC USE SIGNAGE. AND I'LL GO OVER THE CURRENT ONE. AND THEN THE THE THE ONE THAT WAS ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL. IT'S ALSO ENSURING THAT CONSISTENCY BETWEEN MUNICIPAL SIGN PRACTICES AND ZONING CODE. AND THEN AGAIN, IT WOULD EXEMPT SPECIFICALLY CIVIC AND MUNICIPAL SIGNS FROM STANDARD SIGN REGULATIONS WHILE MAINTAINING SAFETY STANDARDS. SO THE CURRENT REGULATION DOES ALLOW FOR NON-ADVERTISING SIGNS, INCLUDING TRAFFIC OR MUNICIPAL SIGNS, LEGAL NOTICES, RAILROAD CROSSINGS AND EMERGENCY AND TEMPORARY SIGNS. BUT IT'S KIND OF VAGUE ON SPECIFICS, EXEMPTIONS TO TO CIVIC USE.
[01:05:03]
RIGHT. AND WE'RE TRYING TO ALSO DO THIS BECAUSE FOR THE NEW CITY HALL AND THEN THE PROPOSED GOVERNMENT COMPLEX THAT THE COUNCIL WANTS TO PUT IN THERE, THE GOVERNMENT COMPLEX WOULD CONSIST OF, AGAIN, THE CITY HALL, AND IT WOULD ALSO HAVE A COUNTY ANNEX FOR COUNTY SERVICES AND A POST OFFICE, AND THEN THERE IS A POSSIBILITY WE'RE HOPING FOR LIKE A VA FACILITY AS WELL, LIKE A CLINIC FOR FOR THE VA SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE SERVICES AND NOT JUST FOR HORIZON, BUT FOR THE GREATER EL PASO AREA. YEAH, THE COUNTY, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE OTHER JURISDICTIONS AS WELL. WE HAD APPLIED FOR SOME OF THOSE GRANTS, LIKE MR. SANCHEZ HAD SAID, ALONG WITH THAT, FOR SOME OF THE FUNDING FOR FOR SOME OF THIS. AND AGAIN, ALL THESE CHANGES ARE SO THAT WE CAN SO THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, SPUR DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THAT AREA AND THEN BUILD MORE OF THE PUBLIC PRIVATE TYPE PARTNERSHIPS AND STUFF. SO THIS THIS GOES IN LINE WITH THAT TO ASSIST WITH THAT, ALONG WITH SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE WANT TO DO FOR THOSE TWO ROADS DEALING TO LAKE. AND THEN ALL THE AREA BETWEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE PONDING THAT WE WOULD PUT IN THERE, SO WOULD TAKE CARE OF ALL THAT, ALL THAT, ALL THAT WATER. AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE THE TRANSIT STATION THERE AND THEN ALL AGAIN, ALL THAT GOVERNMENT COMPLEX TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL THOSE SERVICES FOR, FOR HORIZON CITY PRIMARILY. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ADJACENT JURISDICTIONS AS WELL. SO THE, THE ISSUE THAT WE HAD AGAIN, WAS THAT CURRENT CURRENTLY THERE HAD TO BE APPROVAL FROM THE CITY COUNCIL OR DESIGNEE FOR SOME OF THESE SIGNS. RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO EXEMPT THEM FROM THAT, FROM THAT REQUIREMENT, THE CITY OF EL PASO CURRENTLY HAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE THEY STARTED TO EXEMPT SIGNS BECAUSE OF THAT REVIEW PERIOD AND ALL THAT. IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE TO DO ALL THAT. BUT FOR CIVIC TYPE USE, WE THOUGHT EXEMPTIONS WOULD BE PROBABLY THE WAY TO GO. SO AGAIN, THIS THIS WOULD EXEMPT CIVIC AND MUNICIPAL SIGNAGE EXEMPTIONS, WHICH CURRENTLY ARE LIMITED IN SCOPE AND CLARITY. AND THEN THE CURRENT ONE ALSO DOES NOT CLEARLY ADDRESS SIGNAGE ON CITY OWNED PROPERTY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF CITY RIGHT AWAY. IT CLEARLY DOESN'T DEFINE ANY OF THAT. SO THIS THIS NEW MAN WOULD DO THAT. SO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WOULD ESTABLISH CIVIC USE SIGNS AS EXEMPT CATEGORY.IT WOULD EXPAND EXEMPTIONS TO INCLUDE SIGNAGE ON THE FOLLOWING HORIZON CITY PROPERTY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER CIVIC USE LIKE THE COUNTY AND THE POST OFFICE AND THEN WITHIN CITY RIGHT OF WAY AS WELL. SO YOU CAN HAVE THOSE WAYFINDING SIGNS AS WELL. SO THE, THE ONE IN RED IS THE CURRENT REGULATION. SO YOU CAN SEE IT'S VERY VAGUE AND IT DOESN'T REALLY GO INTO ANY EXEMPTION NECESSARILY. IT STILL HAS THAT REQUIREMENT FOR APPROVAL BY CITY COUNCIL OR ITS DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE NOW. SO THE PROPOSED REGULATION WOULD INCLUDE ALL THAT AND THEN KIND OF IDENTIFY IT A LITTLE BETTER. AS FAR AS SOME OF THE STUFF THAT COULD BE DONE OR SIMILAR, AND ALL THE CIVIC USES THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED WITHIN THAT.
AND AGAIN, TO ALSO INCENTIVIZE OR SPUR THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING IN THERE FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WOULD GO IN THERE. AND AS FAR AS THE PUBLIC BENEFIT, AGAIN, IT IMPROVES EFFICIENCY FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS, ALLOWS TIMELY INSTALLATION OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND WAYFINDING SIGNS, ELIMINATES UNNECESSARY REGULATORY BARRIERS FOR CIVIC SIGNAGE, AND IT SUPPORTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC SAFETY AND NAVIGATION. AND IT MAINTAINS VISIBILITY STANDARDS TO PROTECT TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. SO WE'RE NOT DOING AWAY WITH ANY OF THAT, YOU KNOW, VISIBILITY TRIANGLES, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU KNOW, YOU'RE BACKING OUT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ALL THAT WOULD BE STILL REQUIRED FOR THOSE SIGNS.
THEY JUST WOULDN'T NEED THAT ADDITIONAL LAYER OF REVIEW SO THEY CAN GET THEM DONE FOR THE PUBLIC. WITH THAT, UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE. I JUST WANTED TO INFORM YOU ABOUT THAT ONE AND WHY WE DIDN'T. WE ALSO DIDN'T HAVE A MEETING IN DECEMBER, SO THIS WENT IN JANUARY. THE COUNCIL REALLY WANTED TO MOVE THAT TO MOVE THAT FORWARD. SO GREAT.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS FOR ME. ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT? NO NEW SIGN REGULATION ORDINANCE. NO. NO QUESTIONS.
