[A. CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:04]

>> IT'S 5 O'CLOCK.

[NOISE]

>> WE'RE READY TO ROCK.

I CHECKED MY MAGIC 8 BALL THIS MORNING AND IT SAID THAT THIS WOULD BE A SHORT MEETING TONIGHT.

LET'S CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER. WE DO HAVE A QUORUM.

ALL COMMISSIONERS ARE PRESENT AND SO IT IS TIME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ONCE AGAIN TO HONOR AMERICA.

>> THANK GOD FOR CHEAT SHEETS.

WE WERE DISCUSSING HOW IT SEEMS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO REMEMBER THESE THREE SENTENCES AND WE DECIDED IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T FLOW.

[OVERLAPPING]

>> LET'S SEE.

CITIZEN COMMENTS.

IS THERE ANYONE ON THE PHONE? IS THERE ANYONE ONLINE? ARE THERE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS BEFORE WE GET INTO THE MEET? I GUESS NOT. STAFF,

[D. STAFF/DIRECTOR REPORT AND DEVELOPMENT UPDATE]

>> NO UPDATES TONIGHT OTHER THAN JUST TO LET THE COMMISSION KNOW THAT WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER MEETING IN MARCH.

THE REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETING DATE IS MARCH THE 5TH, HOWEVER, COULD CHANGE DEPENDING ON HOW ITEMS FALL THAT MONTH.

LET'S AFFIRM WITH YOU AS SOON AS WE CAN.

>> LET'S REMEMBER WE'VE GOT SPRING BREAK, SO I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TRIPS.

>> TRY TO AVOID THAT WITH THE WEEK OF SPRING BREAK FOR SURE.

BUT I CIRCLE BACK WITH YOU THOUGH ONCE WE GET THE DATE LOCKED IN.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> I'VE GOT FOR THE STAFF UPDATE.

>> MY DAUGHTER'S AT LIBERTY CHRISTIAN.

I KNOW WHERE THE WEEK OF THE MARCH 9TH.

WHAT ABOUT WEST LAKE ACADEMY? [OVERLAPPING]

>> WEEK OF THE 9TH AS WELL.

ANYTHING BUT THE WEEK OF THE 9TH.

>> OKAY.

>> I THINK WILL BE GOOD.

WE'RE GOING TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.

[E.1. 24-037 Conduct a public hearing and consider recommending approval of a preliminary site evaluation for the Circle T North Commercial development, containing 51.32 acres, located north of Parish Lane and west State Highway 170]

STAFF, DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION?

>> I'LL MAKE THIS VERY BRIEF.

THIS MISSION MAY RECALL.

[OVERLAPPING].

>> THIS IS THE PIN STACK SITE.

YOU'VE ALREADY APPROVED THE SITE PLAN AND THE ZONING AMENDMENT BACK AT THE LAST MEETING.

THESE ARE THE NEXT STEPS TO GET THE PROPERTY PLATTED, GET THE LOT CREATED, THEN WE CAN ISSUE THE BUILDING PERMIT ON THE SITE.

THIS IS MUCH MORE PROCEDURAL, LEGALLY CALLED MINISTERIAL.

YOUR DISCRETION ON THIS TO DENY IT IS MUCH MORE LIMITED BECAUSE ALL THIS IS DOING IS JUST SAYING, OKAY, THIS LINES UP WITH WHAT THE ZONING AND THE APPROVED SITE PLAN SAYS, WHICH IT DOES.

OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU APPROVE THIS.

BRIEFLY, THIS PRELIMINARY SITE EVALUATION IS IN OTHER COMMUNITIES, IT IS CALLED A PRELIMINARY PLAT, BUT IT BASICALLY JUST MASTER PLANS OUT THE PROPERTY THAT'S UNDER COMMON OWNERSHIP TO SHOW WHAT THE FUTURE LOT CONFIGURATIONS WILL LOOK LIKE AND ALSO PLAN FOR UTILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE DONE.

NOW IN THIS CASE, YOU'RE ONLY SEEING THE LOT THAT'S CREATING THE PIN STACK SITE BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER IS STILL WORKING THROUGH WHAT THE OTHER LOT CONFIGURATIONS LOOK LIKE. WE'RE FINE WITH THAT.

THEY'LL COME BACK AND AMEND THIS AS NEEDED AS THEY MOVE FORWARD.

THE SITE THAT'S GOT THE PINSTACK IS 5.5 ACRES.

THE FINAL PLAT FOR THAT WILL BE BEHIND THIS ITEM. RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

THEY'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO ASK THEM ANY QUESTIONS, BUT THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE A PRESENTATION NOT NEEDED IN THIS CASE.

>> WELL, SINCE WE APPROVED THE PINSTACK, I ASSUME IT WASN'T GOING TO BE A HOVER CRAFT BUILDING.

I THINK THIS ONE'S GOING TO GET.

>> ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD MAKE A VERY INTERESTING.

>> IT WOULD. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I'LL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO COMMENT? WE HAVE ANYBODY FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS? NO, WE DO NOT.

THEN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I DON'T BELIEVE WE NEED TO HEAR ANYTHING.

[00:05:02]

>> WE DON'T HAVE ANY CHANGES. THERE'S NOTHING FROM WHAT WE APPROVED LAST TIME.

>> I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE'S NO COMMENTS.

I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM NAZAR, A SECOND? MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. NAZAR WILL SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR AYE?

>> AYE.

>> ALL OPPOSED? NON OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES AS RECOMMENDED BY BY STAFF.

ONE SECOND HERE.

THAT WAS THE ONLY OTHER ITEM WE HAD, CORRECT? WE HAD THE MINUTES.

>> WE HAVE THE FINAL PLAN.

>> THE E.2. AGENDA ITEM E.2. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.

[E.2. 24-038 Conduct a public hearing and consider recommending approval of a final plat for Lot 1, Block 1, Circle T North Commercial Addition, located north of Parish Lane and west State Highway 170]

>> THIS IS JUST THE FINAL PLAT.

THIS IS THE 5.505 ACRE TRACT, AND THIS IS WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO CREATE THE LOT THAT THE BUILDING AND THE SITE WILL SIT ON.

THIS COMPLIES WITH ALL OF THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

SITE PLAN. WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL ON THIS.

>> I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DOTTY, ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT?

>> NO, NOBODY.

>> I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE DISCUSSED GIVING THEM A VARIANCE TO DO THE LIGHT POLES AT A DIFFERENT HEIGHT.

NOW, THIS HASN'T GONE BEFORE COUNCIL YET, SO IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT IF WE APPROVE THIS NOW THAT COUNCIL DOES NOT APPROVE THE LIGHT POLE HEIGHT, THAT THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT?

>> SHOULDN'T AFFECT THIS AS LONG AS COUNCIL APPROVES THE SITE PLAN.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF COUNSEL WAS TO APPROVE THE SITE PLAN BUT WITHOUT THE LIGHT POLE HEIGHT REQUEST, THEN IT WOULD STILL ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT TO GO FORWARD JUST WITH THAT ONE MODIFICATION WOULDN'T BE APPROVED.

>> BECAUSE GUESS MY UNDERSTANDING WAS IF THEY HAD TO LOWER THAT LIGHT POLE HEIGHT, THAT WOULD AFFECT THE AMOUNT OF ISLANDS THAT THEY NEED PARKING LOT.

THAT COULD IT AFFECT?

>> IT COULD AFFECT THE SITE TO SOME DEGREE, BUT THE PLAT IT SHOULDN'T AFFECT ANYTHING ON THE PLAT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

MOTION. SECOND? THERE'S SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

AGENDA ITEM F1,

[F.1. Consider approving minutes from the January 16, 2024, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting; and take appropriate action 24-039]

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE MINUTES? EVERYBODY GET A CHANCE TO READ THE MINUTES? CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE? MOTION FROM TAMMY.

CAN I GET A SECOND? SECOND FROM TERRY. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? NO OPPOSITION.

MOTION CARRIES. MINUTES ARE APPROVED.

THE MEETING MAY NOW BE ADJOURNED.

EIGHT MINUTES. MY PREVIOUS RECORD WAS SEVEN. THIS ONE'S EIGHT.

BUT THE SEVEN MINUTE WE APPROVED NOTHING BECAUSE THE APPLICANT PULLED THEIR APPLICATION.

HERE, WE ACTUALLY DID SOME GOOD FOR THE CITIZENS OF WESTLAKE.

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN FOR COMING.

HURRY UP AND BUILD THAT PINSTACK, WILL YOU?
