THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK ARE WELCOME TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION. ALL SPEAKERS, INCLUDING THE APPLICANT, NEED TO COMPLETE A BLUE SPEAKER CARD AND PROVIDE IT TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT.

AFTER ALL PERSONS HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK, THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF THE CASE WILL BE CLOSED AND NO FURTHER TESTIMONY WILL BE GIVEN UNLESS THE. SORRY I SHOULD. THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR LOOKING UP.

TESTIMONY WILL BE PERMITTED UNLESS THE CASE IS TABLED TO A FUTURE DATE IN THE COMMISSION INCLUDED IN THEIR MOTION TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO A FUTURE MEETING.

AFTER CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION MAY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR THE APPLICANT. PLEASE NOTE THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION ONLY MAKES A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING ZONING CASES UNLESS THE COMMISSION DISAPPROVES THE CASE, AND THE APPLICANT DOES NOT APPEAL THE DISAPPROVAL.

WE'RE GOING SO SMOOTHLY. I THINK IT'S ALWAYS GOOD A LITTLE EDUCATION FOR NEW COMMISSIONERS OR EVEN ANYONE WATCHING WHAT IS OCCURRING HERE, BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND. BUT MAYBE EDUCATE US ON WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THESE PETTY HOMES AND AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE.

THE BIG CHANGE WILL BE THE BUILD LINE FROM THIS.

GOING FROM PATIO HOME TO SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE CHANGING FROM A 7 FOOT TO 15 FOOT BUILD LINE.

OKAY. AND THAT'S ON THE FRONT SIDE? ON THE SIDE ON THAT.

ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE. CORRECT. YOU'RE INCREASING THE SETBACK FROM 7FT TO 15FT? CORRECT. ON THE SIDE. CORRECT. AND ALSO THE OTHER LOTS NEXT TO THIS? THEY'RE GOING TO BE SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN, SIR. THEY'RE ALREADY SF SEVEN? YES SIR.

SO THESE BEING ON THE CORNER, PUSHING IT, YOU'D WORRY THAT YOU'RE LIKE WELL IF YOU'RE PUSHING OVER IT'S GONNA BE CLOSE TO THE NEXT HOUSE. BUT THESE ARE BOTH ON THE CORNER, WHICH MEANS SOMEONE GETS A LITTLE BIGGER BACKYARD.

BUT YOU'RE NOT WORRIED BECAUSE ALL IT IS, IS JUST PUSHING IT CLOSER TO THE STREET. CORRECT. SO ARE YOU GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION? FURTHER COMING FROM THE SCARECROW DRIVE. CHANGING THAT 7FT TO 15FT.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE PROPERTY LINE ON THE EAST SIDE ON THIS PLAN.

ALL RIGHT. SO THEY GET A LITTLE LARGER YARD. CORRECT.

SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS. ALL RIGHT. ITEM 37.

RESULTS. OH, NO.

MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 36, AS SUBMITTED BY STAFF.

MOTION BY BRITTANY. SECOND. SECOND BY TIFFANY.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 5-0.

CONGRATULATIONS. YOU´RE FOCUSED ON TEACHING. YES.

TURN THIS ON. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE ORDINANCE FOR THE WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION CENTER THAT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 121, JUST WEST OF CUSTER ROAD ON THE FORMER OR TREE FANNIN FARM.

SO NO ISSUES THERE. AND THEN THE DOWNTOWN ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS PUBLIC HEARING THAT PINS THE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.

COUNCIL DID THE SAME THING, SO THE ORDINANCE WILL BE COMING BACK TO THEM IN MOST LIKELY SEPTEMBER.

I KNOW A FEW OF US HAVE DONE 2 OR 3 OF THESE, BUT FOR THOSE THAT MIGHT BE NEWER, WOULD YOU TELL THEM TO PLAN ON A 15 TO 20 MINUTE MEETING, OR WOULD YOU SAY PLAN FOR A 45? WELL, IT DEPENDS HOW LONG YOU'RE GOING TO TALK.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING. I'M FINE, BUT JUST.

YOU KNOW. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TIME, JUST. I GUESS.

YOU ASKED FOR IT. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, ANY OTHER FUTURE DISCUSSION ITEMS FROM FELLOW COMMISSIONERS, STAFF? CONGRATULATIONS. AT LEAST MY FIRST TIME MEETING THREE OF YOU.
