[7. PUBLIC HEARING]
[00:05:01]
PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A ZONE CHANGE FROM AGRICULTURE TO EXECUTIVE STATES ON APPROXIMATELY 41.441.473 ACRES OF LAND SITUATED IN THE OAK POINT ESTATES BLOCK, A LOT ONE THROUGH 15 BLOCK B LOTS ONE THROUGH 17 OUT OF THE J C HILL SURVEY. ABSTRACT NUMBER 202.CITY OF KAUFMAN COUNTY, TEXAS. THE PROPERTY IS IDENTIFIED AS KAUFMAN COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT, PROPERTY ID 224061224077, AND 22406 THROUGH 224060 AND GENERALLY LOCATED ALONG THE. I'M GOING TO CHIPPEWA COURT AND OSAGE LANE, TERRELL, TEXAS. THIS IS ZONE CHANGE 26 DASH TEN. OKAY. BEFORE I OPEN THE THE PUBLIC HEARING OR BEFORE WE HEAR FROM STAFF, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PUT THE RECORD THAT SUZANNE SPENCER HAS HAS MADE IT IN. AND IT'S NO LONGER AS AN EXCUSED ABSENCE. ALRIGHT. RAYLAN. OH. HEY, KATIE. OKAY. GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS. WE HAVE A ZONE CHANGE HERE FOR YOU THIS EVENING. THIS IS OAK POINT ESTATES. THIS WAS FORMERLY ETJ BUT WAS ANNEXED IN THE 2023 ANNEXATION. SO WE HAVE SEVERAL PARCELS ALL IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, IN THIS SUBDIVISION THAT DIDN'T GET ZONING UPON ANNEXATION. SO NOW WE'RE JUST GOING THROUGH AND CLEANING THAT UP. SO LOOKING THROUGH THE STAFF REPORT. CURRENT ZONING IS AGRICULTURE. AND THE ZONING REQUEST IS FOR EXECUTIVE ESTATES. THERE IS NO FUTURE LAND USE FOR THIS PROPERTY AS AT THE TIME OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THIS WAS ETJ PROPERTY, SO THERE WAS NO USE INTENDED AT THAT TIME. WE SENT 25 LETTERS TO SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS. WE RECEIVED ONE BACK OPPOSING THE ZONE CHANGE, AND THAT IS IN YOUR PACKET THIS EVENING. AND THIS WAS PUBLISHED IN THE TERRELL TRIBUNE BEGINNING APRIL 4TH. SO IF WE LOOK THROUGH, WE HAVE A LOCATION MAP FOR YOU. IT'S JUST THIS WHOLE SUBDIVISION. AND THE REASON EXECUTIVE ESTATES IS BEING REQUESTED IS BECAUSE THOSE PROPERTIES WERE ALREADY COMPLIED WITH EXECUTIVE ESTATE ZONING IN THEIR CURRENT CONDITION. SO HERE WE HAVE AG. THERE'S SOME OTHER EXECUTIVE ESTATES ACROSS THE THE COUNTY ROAD HERE. BUT AGAIN, ALL OF THIS JUST IS READY FOR ZONING. SO MOVING FORWARD, HERE'S THE FUTURE LAND USE. WE HAVE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL OVER HERE. AND AGAIN IN 2017 THIS WAS CITY LIMITS. AND THIS WAS NOT A PART OF TERRELL AT THE TIME. WE SENT TO OUR 25 SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS. AND HERE'S OUR BUFFER MAP HERE, WHICH GOT ODDLY STRETCHED. BUT THERE IT IS. AND THAT IS IT. I'LL PAUSE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST. IS THERE ANY ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WANTS TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR NOT IN FAVOR OF A ZONE CHANGE? 26 DASH TEN. OKAY. ANYBODY WANTS TO SPEAK? NOT IN FAVOR OR IN FAVOR EITHER ONE FOR ZONE CHANGE 2016. NO. OKAY. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COMMISSIONERS. ANY QUESTIONS TO STAFF IN REGARDS TO THE ZONE CHANGE? WHAT WE'RE DOING IS JUST BASICALLY GOING FROM AG TO EXECUTIVE ESTATES, WHICH IT'S ALREADY IN THE AREA.
CORRECT. OKAY. CAN I ASK A QUESTION? WAS IT IS IT TECHNICALLY IN TERRELL CITY LIMITS? YES, YES, IT HAS BEEN ANNEXED. IT HAS BEEN. OKAY. SO IT WILL ADHERE TO LANDSCAPE ORDINANCES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE BECAUSE THE EXISTING THE THE HOUSES ARE LOVELY, BUT THERE'S NOT A TREE OUT THERE. SO THEY WILL HAVE TO ADHERE TO ALL THAT. THERE'S NOT A TREE OUT THERE. OKAY. YEAH, I NOTICED THAT'S LIKE IT SHOULD ALREADY BE CHANGED. I THINK THERE ARE ONLY A FEW HOUSES LEFT TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT BUT YES, THEY WILL NEED TO COMPLY. AND THIS ONE THAT'S SUPPOSED SHE LIVES THERE. OVER THERE OFF OF MEADOWBROOK, OFF OF 25, 78. AND THERE'S A LOT OF GREEN SPACE. SO IT REALLY NOT THAT CLOSE TO HER HOME. SO THE ONES THAT'S RIGHT ACROSS FROM IT, IT'S NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. SO I DON'T SEE WHY THERE SHOULD BE AN ISSUE CHANGING THIS AT ALL, SINCE THIS IS AT THE CORNER OF 303 AND 304, I BELIEVE. YES, IT IS. SO THIS THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN IN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AS YOU KNOW, IT WAS WAY BEFORE THE CITY LIMITS MOVED. WE ANNEXED. THEY BECAME
[00:10:01]
PART OF THE CITY LIMITS. AS YOU KNOW, YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR THAT WHEN WE ANNEXED, EVERYTHING BECAME IMMEDIATELY. AG SO THAT'S WHY. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA CATCH IT UP. SO WHAT TRANSPIRED WAS, AS THEY WERE COMING IN, THERE'S ONLY SEVEN LOTS REMAINING IN THIS DEVELOPMENT. THEY'RE NICE, SPACIOUS LOTS. SO GETTING PERMITS THEY WE COULDN'T GET A PERMIT UNDER AN AG. SO THAT'S WHY THE REASON, THE REASON FOR THE ZONE CHANGE. I THINK THE ONLY THING WHICH MAKES SENSE RIGHT. BECAUSE THERE'S A NEIGHBORHOOD THERE. THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ME A LITTLE NERVOUS IS THAT THERE'S SOME OLDER HOMES THERE. AND THERE ARE SOME, THERE ARE LOVELY MATURE TREES. AND THE, THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT BACK WHEN IT WAS OUT OF THE CITY LIMITS TOOK I MEAN, JUST LIKE TOOK ALL OF THEM OUT. AND SO OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T KEEP THEM ALL. BUT IS THERE SOME HAS THERE BEEN SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW TO MAINTAIN AND PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF SOME OF THOSE OLDER. LOTS THAT THAT DO HAVE SOME CHARACTER TO THEM AS YOU DEVELOP, AS THEY DEVELOP THE KIND OF NEW NEW PARCELS? QUESTION THOSE LOTS. I DROVE OUT THERE. IT'S ALREADY HOUSES THERE AND EVERYTHING'S ALREADY BEEN PLATTED, SO THERE'S NOT AN ISSUE WITH ANY TREES. THE TREES ARE BEHIND THE ISN'T IT THE PROPERTY, THE THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S BETWEEN RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET TO 305. WELL, SAGE IT'S NOW SAGE VERSUS IT'S CITY LIMIT SIGN. THAT'S.YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW, I GUESS THAT'S THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PLATTED AND THEY'RE ALREADY HOUSES OUT THERE. SO THE TREES WITH THIS LITTLE FINGER HERE ARE GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY IT AT ALL. DO YOU HAVE A MAP. AM I LOOKING AT THE WRONG THING. SO THERE'S LIKE THAT LITTLE L SHAPED FINGER. SEE THERE. THAT'S YEAH THAT SPACE. ALL THOSE ARE AFFECTED BY IT AT ALL.
YEAH. THAT'S THE BUFFER ZONE. THAT'S NOT PART OF WHAT'S. OKAY. THAT'S WHERE I WAS CONFUSED. NO THAT'S OKAY. GOTCHA. I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT WAS PART OF THE REZONE. NO, JUST JUST WHERE THE HOUSES ARE. YES. OKAY. GOTCHA. JUST OUT THERE ON THE CORNER. YEAH. SO THE RED LINE IS THE AREA THAT'S BEING REZONED. THAT'S THAT'S THE BUFFER ZONE. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO IN REGARDS TO ZONE CHANGE 26 DASH TEN. WELL I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
SO THE RED DASH LINE IT SAYS IS OAK POINT DEVELOPMENT. SO IT DOES INCLUDE THOSE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX PARCELS ALONG 303 THAT NOW HAVE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. BUT THOSE WILL BE PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S WHAT IT IN YOUR POCKET. IT HAS A YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED AREA. OKAY. SO THAT'S THE HIGHLIGHTED AREA. OKAY. OKAY. GOT YOU. I'M SORRY.
I JUST THE OTHER ONE WAS CONFUSING ME. SO I WAS JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HERE WHENEVER YOU DO THE TWO. YEAH, YEAH, I GOT YOU. OKAY. I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YOU GOOD? OKAY. YES, MA'AM. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE ZONE CHANGE FROM AGRICULTURE TO EXECUTIVE ESTATES. I SECOND, I HAVE FIRST AND I HAVE A SECOND.
