UM, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGN UP UNDER GENERAL COMMENTS? ALRIGHT, SO WE'LL MOVE TO THE

[ CONSENT AGENDA ]

'CAUSE THAT'S IMPORTANT.

WE DON'T WANNA RUSH OVER STUFF HERE.

SOME OF THIS STUFF, WHILE IT MAY NOT SEEM TOO GLAMOROUS OR, OR ENTERTAINING, IT IS IMPORTANT.

LET'S SEE IF THE COUNCIL HAS ANY THINGS THEY WOULD WISH TO PUT OUT.

THEY MAY NOT EVEN HAVE A QUESTION.

HOW ABOUT FELIX, YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT ITEM NUMBER C? YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF AN INTERESTING ITEM.

YEAH, I WAS GONNA JUST, UH, DISCUSS ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ON THAT ONE.

PUSH THE BUTTON AND MAKE SURE.

ON THE CITY OF ROSENBERG'S WEBSITE, C**N CREEK SPLITS THE PROPERTY IN TWO WITH ZONE AE FOLLOWING ALONG THE FLOODWAY.

MY NAME IS MATTHEW MARCH AND I'M THE FIFTH GENERATION TO BE RAISED ON THE FAMILY FARM AT 7 2 7 HARTRIDGE ROAD, WHICH IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROPOSED TRACK FOR ANNEXATION.

I'M SUBMITTING PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY FOR RECORD TO SHOW MY CONCERNS AND MAKE COUNSEL AWARE OF THE PROPOSED USE OF THIS TRACK BY THE LANDOWNER.

THE LANDOWNER HAS PROPOSED A TRUCK STOP WITH PARKING FOR 500 TRUCKS AND WILL BE MARKETED AS THE LARGEST TRUCK STOP IN TEXAS.

I'M NOT AN ENGINEER LAWYER OR HOLD ANY LICENSE TO JUSTIFY MY CLAIMS, BUT AS SOMEONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROPERTY, I FEEL THIS WILL BE HAZARDOUS, UM, TO FLOODING TRAFFIC SAFETY ON SPUR 10.

AND IT JUST GOES AGAINST THE MANNER THAT FOLLOWS THE 2035 CITY OF ROSENBERG COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

MOST OF THIS PROPERTY RESIDES IN ZONE AE ACCORDING TO FEMA FLOOD ZONES

[00:25:01]

ONLY A FEW ACRES IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER AND NORTHWEST CORNER DO NOT RESIDE IN ZONE AE.

ZONE AE IS HIGH RISK.

THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOODPLAIN THE HIGHEST RISK OF FLOODING OUTSIDE OF THE DRAINAGE ACTUAL DRAINAGE CHANNEL.

I HAVE PICTURES WITH ME TODAY OF THE RACE SPUR 10 RIGHT OF WAY TO SHOW HOW IT IS RAISED UPWARDS AT 10 TO 15 FEET WHEN TDOT BUILT THE ROAD BECAUSE THE HIGH RISK OF FLOODING ALONG THE STRETCH.

I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT BETWEEN THE LANDOWNER AND FORT BEND COUNTY DRAINAGE DISTRICT TO EXPAND DRAINAGE RIGHT AWAY FROM 80 FEET TO 240 FEET WHILE STILL ALLOWING PARKING WITHIN 4.09 ACRES OF THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT.

SHOULD AN IMP PREVIOUS SURFACE, LIKE A PARKING LOT BE ALLOWED WITHIN A DRAINAGE EASEMENT THAT WILL BE USED TO STORM WATER RETENTION? I'M JUST ASSUMING THAT I'M ALSO CONCERNED WITH SAFETY OF TRAVELERS ON SPUR 10.

I CAN TELL YOU IT IS ALREADY DIFFICULT TO ENTER AND CROSS SPUR 10 WITH THE INCREASING TRAFFIC, ADDING TRUCK TRAFFIC TO THIS MAGNITUDE AT ONE INTERSECTION LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE NEW L-C-I-D-C-T-A CENTER AND HIGH SCHOOL, I THINK IS ASKING FOR HIGH RISK, ESPECIALLY WITH TEENAGERS AND SCHOOLS AND BUSES.

LASTLY, I WANT TO TOUCH ON HOW THIS PROPOSED PROPERTY USE DOES NOT FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF ROSENBERG'S 30 35 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH I DID INCLUDE.

THIS PROPERTY FALLS WITH WHAT'S CALLED A CONSERVATION QUARTER, WHICH ENCOMPASSES FLOODPLAINS DUE TO CONCENTRATED DEVELOPMENT CAUSING HARM FROM FLOODING TO NOT ONLY SET TRACK BUT NEIGHBORING TRACKS.

ACCORDING TO THE PLAN, THE LAND SHOULD BE EXTREMELY LOW DENSITY, SUCH AS A STATE RESIDENTIAL ACTIVE DECLARATION SPACE OR STORM WATER DETENTION.

ADDITIONALLY, DEVELOPMENT PARAMETERS SHOULD MINIMIZE IMPERVIOUS SURFACES AND FLOODPLAINS, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE LANDOWNER HAS PROPOSED ON THEIR WEBSITE.

I UNDERSTAND THIS TRACK OF LAND SITS AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION, BUT COUNCIL SHOULD CONSIDER ALL FACTORS SUCH AS THE PROPERTY ALMOST WHOLLY WITHIN THE HIGHEST FLOOD RISK SCHOOL TRAFFIC SAFETY AND A 500 PARKED TRUCKING STOP VOIDING PARAMETERS SET FORTH IN THE 2035 COMP COMPREHENSION PLAN TO ENSURE SOUND DEVELOPMENT IN A FLOODWAY.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

THANK YOUR COUNCILMAN COUNCILWOMAN, MS. MARTY.

THANK YOU MATTHEW.

ALRIGHT, WE'LL DO THE OTHER.

SURE.

ANY, UH, IN ANY ORDER? THERE'S FOUR FOLKS THAT WANNA SPEAK AND Y'ALL CAN DECIDE ON WHICH ORDER.

HI EVERYONE, MY NAME'S THERESA MARCH AND I LIVE AT 7 2 7 HARTRIDGE AND MY FAMILY AND I LIVE ON THE FARM JUST SOUTH OF THE PROPOSED TRACK FOR ANNEXATION.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FLOODING IMPACTS TRAFFIC AND SAFETY CONCERNS OF THE PROPOSED TRUCK STOP, WHICH WILL INCLUDE PARKING FOR 500 TRUCKS.

I AM THE FOURTH GENERATION TO RAISE MY FAMILY ON THIS FARM, AND WE HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE 1912.

AND I AM WORRIED HOW THE PROPOSED TRUCK STOP WILL AFFECT THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MY FAMILY NOW AND FOR IN THE FUTURE GENERATIONS.

THIS PROPERTY HAS A SPECIAL MEANING TO ME.

AND WHEN I HEARD OF THIS MASSIVE TRUCK STOP BEING MARKETED ONLINE BY LANDOWNERS, I IMMEDIATELY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT FLOODING IMPACT, ESPECIALLY AFTER I LEARNED THE AGREEMENT WITH THE FORT BEND COUNTY DRAINAGE DISTRICT TO EXPAND THE DRAINAGE RIGHT OF WAY OF KON CREEK FROM 80 FEET TO 240 FEET AND TO ALLOW PARKING WITHIN 4.09 ACRES OF THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT AT THIS PROJECT MOVES FORWARD.

I ASK THE CITY TO CONSIDER ALL LANDOWNERS IN THE AREA, INCLUDING PROTECTING NEIGHBORING LANDOWNERS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE LANDOWNERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP THEIR PROPERTY, BUT THE CITY SHOULD CONSIDER THE HIGH RISK OF FLOODING IN THIS PROPERTY AND THE NE NE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.

THIS WAS NOTED IN THE CITY OF ROSENBERG 2035 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND MUCH OF THIS PROPERTY IS LISTED AS A CONSERVATION CORRIDOR DUE TO ITS HIGH RISK OF FLOODING AND IMPACTS TO NEIGHBORING PROPERTY.

IF DEVELOPED WITH IMPERVIOUS SERVICES SUCH AS A 500 PARKING TRUCK STOP WOULD REQUIRE, I WOULD ASK THE CITY TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 2035 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR A LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT TO ENSURE LONG-TERM RESIDENTS AND FAMILIES OF THE CITY IN ROSENBERG, THEIR RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED AND THEY CAN CONTINUE TO ENJOY THEIR PROPERTY WITHOUT THE THREAT OF FLOODING.

THANK YOU ALL.

A BAD THING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, A BAD THING FOR THAT AREA, AND IT IT, IT'S GONNA HAVE IMPLICATIONS THAT GO BEYOND MY, PROBABLY MY EXPECTATIONS.

GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME'S DON MARCH AND I LIVE AT 7 2 7 HARLET ROAD OFF OF SPUR 10.

AND, UH, MATTHEW AND MY WIFE THERESA, PRETTY MUCH COVERED WHAT MY CONCERNS ARE TOO.

SO I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I THINK THIS IS A BAD IDEA,

[00:30:02]

UH, 500 TRUCKS SITTING IN A FLOODPLAIN DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.

THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU MR. MARGE.

I KNOW WE SAY THE BEST FOR LAST .

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU'RE THE BEST.

PROBABLY NOT, BUT ANYWAY, HERE IT IS.

UH, MY NAME IS PAT HOLEKAMP AND I AM A LANDOWNER TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROPOSED TRACK FOR ANNEXATION IN WHICH THE DEVELOPERS ARE WANTING TO DEVELOP INTO A MASSIVE TRUCK STOP MARKETED AS THE LARGEST IN TEXAS.

BESIDES THE IMPACT TO MY PROPERTY, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ALONG HARTLEYS ROAD AND SPUR 10 DUE TO THE INCREASED TRAFFIC.

YOU KNOW, IN THIS LAST FEW MONTHS, I'VE SEEN TWO ACCIDENTS ON SPUR 10.

AND I CAN'T SAY IF I'VE SEEN ACCIDENTS ON SPUR 10 THE WHOLE TIME I GREW UP.

I MEAN, I'M TALKING AND I'M NOT, I'M NOT YOUNG.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

UH, SO I AM A, I AM A RETIRED COACH AND I HAVE DRIVEN A SCHOOL BUS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF MY CAREER.

SO I'VE PUT IN A LOT OF TIMES BEHIND THE WHEELS OF A SCHOOL BUS.

UM, AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DANGERS.

I'VE TAKEN MANY TRIPS ALONG I 10 DRIVING A SCHOOL BUS AND THE BIG 18 WHEELERS ARE ROLLING THERE WITH YOU.

YOU KNOW, YOU GET THE FEELING KIND OF SMALL IN THAT SCHOOL BUS.

UH, AND THEN YOU HAVE EVERYBODY'S YOUNG CHILDREN ON THE BUS, TEENAGERS, LITTLE BABIES, SOMEBODY WANTS TO SEE THESE CHILDREN COME HOME TO 'EM.

UH, AND YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S DANGERS EVERYWHERE, BUT, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO AVOID WHAT YOU CAN.

THUS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DANGERS OF EXP EXPERIENCE.

I'VE SAID THAT OPERATING BUS ON A BIG SCHOOL WORD AROUND HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC.

I'M ESPECIALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE IMPACT THE PROPOSED TRUCK STOP WILL HAVE ON THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN THAT WILL BE TRAVELING TO THE NEW BF TERRY HIGH SCHOOL AND THE C-E-T-C-T-E COMPLEX CENTER THAT IS ALSO BEING BUILT LESS THAN A MILE SOUTH OF THIS PROPOSED TRUCK STOP ON SPUR 10 AND HAS ALREADY BECOME INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS.

WE'VE SAID THIS WITH THE INCREASED TRAFFIC AND A PROJECT OF THIS SCALE AND ENDANGERED THE SAFETY OF OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN.

IT IS JUST A REALITY THAT AS YOU INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SLOW MOVING SEMI TRUCKS IN THE AREA, THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS WITH THE BUSES WILL, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY INCREASE.

YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? UH, YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER THE NUMBER OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WILL BE DRIVING AT THIS TIME.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TEENAGERS, YOU KNOW, INSURANCE COMPANIES.

I KNOW THEY LIKE TO MAKE MONEY, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY CHARGE MORE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE DRIVING, WHETHER THAT BE THEIR DRIVING HABITS OR THEIR INEXPERIENCE OR WHATEVER.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, YOU PAY MORE FOR A YOUNG TEENAGER DRIVING A CAR AND THEY SAY THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.

SO, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THESE YOUNG PEOPLE, TEENAGERS COMING FROM THESE CAMPUSES, UH, THEY GET IN THEIR CARS, THEY'RE BEHIND THE WHEELS, THEY'RE FEELING GOOD.

I'M ALL THAT PUMPED UP.

THEY HAVE A LOT OF THINGS ON THEIR MIND.

CELL PHONES, GETTING THE MUSIC ROLLING, UH, DISTRACTIONS IN THE CAR, VEHICLE, TRUCK, WHATEVER THEY'RE DRIVING DISTRACTIONS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, AND THEN AT THE TRUCK STOP WHERE YOU HAVE THESE BIG, BIG TRUCKS, YOU HAVE TRUCKERS THAT ARE ON SCHEDULE.

THEY HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE AT A CERTAIN TIME.

THEY'RE GONNA PULL THEIR RIG OUT.

YOU KNOW, I'M SURE ALL OF YOU, YOU KNOW, I LOVE TRUCKERS.

I KNOW A NUMBER OF THEM, BUT YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE NOT HAD TO STEP ON YOUR BRAKE TO ALLOW A BIG RIG TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF YOU? AND IF YOU'RE DRIVING ON A SCHOOL BUS, YOU KNOW THAT SCHOOL BUS DON'T STOP ON A DIME.

YOU KNOW, YOU GONNA HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, SO, AND WELL I'M, I'M MOVED ON TO THE TEENAGERS NOW, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TOO TO RECOGNIZE THAT TRUCK COMING OUT IN FRONT OF THEM.

ALRIGHT, MOVING ON.

UH, LEMME SEE, I'VE SAID ALL THIS.

SO UNFORTUNATELY, IF YOU GO AHEAD AND MIX, YOU KNOW, THE TEENAGERS, THE YOUNG DRIVERS EXCITED TO BE BEHIND THE WHEELS WITH, UH, TRUCK DRIVERS MOVING THESE BIG RIGS OUTTA THIS TRUCK STOP.

YOU KNOW, IT IS KIND OF A RECIPE FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN.

IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

AND THAT IS A VERY BIG CONCERN OF MINE.

'CAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THESE YOUNG PEOPLE GET HURT OR INJURED OR EVEN A FATALITY.

I ASK COUNSEL TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT ON RESIDENTS, STUDENTS AND LANDOWNERS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.

AND ASK YOURSELF, IS A TRUCK STOP WITH 500 TRUCKS REALLY THE BEST FIT FOR THIS LOCATION WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FACTORS SUCH AS TRAFFIC SAFETY, THE 2023 CITY OF ROSEN RIVER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE HIGH FLOOD RISK OF THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY.

AND I THINK THAT'S

[00:35:01]

WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

UM, THANK ALL FOUR OF Y'ALL FOR TAKING TIME TO COME AND EXPRESS YOUR OPINION.

AND Y'ALL WELL, FEEL FREE TO DO IT ON OTHER ISSUES THAT COME UP AS WELL.

UM, AND EVEN IF YOU CAN'T COME, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL OR GET THE WORD IN SOMEHOW ABOUT, ABOUT THINGS.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

DON'T TAKE ANY OFFENSE.

WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA SLIP OUT, HUH? WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA SLIP OUT ONCE Y'ALL MOVE.

YEAH, NO, NO.

MOST MOST PEOPLE DO.

NO, I GOT IT.

IT, UM, YEAH, JUST COME BACK ON, ON ON DIFFERENT STUFF, NOT JUST THIS ISSUE.

THAT'S FRUSTRATING TO SEE PEOPLE JUST ONLY HERE WHEN THEY, YOU KNOW, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE HERE TO HELP ANYTIME ON WHETHER YOU CAN COME BACK OR NOT.

WE'LL STILL HELP YOU EVEN IF YOU AIN'T IN THE ROOM.

GONNA PULL ITEM NUMBER THREE.

SO WE'RE

Railroad Company Survey, Fort Bend County, Texas; extending the boundaries of the City to include the land; binding the land to all acts, ordinances, resolutions and regulations of the City; approving a service plan; and providing an effective date. (Mohamed Bireima, Director of Planning)]

UM, GOT REQUESTED FOR THE ATTORNEY.

YOU NEED TO CLOSE THE MEETING.

MAYOR, HANG ON, HANG ON.

WE AIN'T CLOSING IT YET.

JUST A SECOND.

SO WE CAN'T HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON ABOUT THIS.

UH, AND NOR REALLY DO I WANT TO AT THIS POINT, BUT IF, IF I, IF WE HAD A QUESTION OR TWO REGARDING THE, THE PROJECT, UM, CAN WE DO THAT NOW? IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

WE CAN'T DISCUSS PASSING THE ORDINANCE 'CAUSE THAT A SEC.

I JUST WANT TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION.

'CAUSE OBVIOUSLY THIS IS GONNA COME BACK.

SO I WANT TO JUST GET A SCOPE ON SOME STUFF, BUT HECTOR HAD THE FIRST CAN YOU GO AHEAD? UH, THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE PROJECT.

THIS IS ABOUT JUST ANNEXATION RIGHT NOW.

IT'S, THEY'RE IN THE E TJ.

RIGHT.

IF WE DON'T ANNEX IT, THEY STILL CAN DO WHAT THEY WANNA DO.

AM I CORRECT OR I'M WRONG.

THAT WAS CORRECT.

MY, YEAH.

WELL THERE'S, IF THEY'RE NOT IN THE CITY LIMITS, THERE'S NO ZONING.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE ZONING POWER.

IF THEY'RE IN THE ETJ, YOU HAVE PLATING POWER.

BUT THAT'S ABOUT LIMITED, BUT VERY LIMITED.

SO, BUT IF WE ANNEX THEM, WE HAVE MORE CONTROL.

THAT'S, I WANT, I WANT THE, THE SPEAKERS TO KNOW THIS IS JUST ABOUT ANNEXATION.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE PROJECT.

THEY'RE NOT BUILDING ANYTHING YET.

IT'S JUST ABOUT ANNEXING THE PROPERTY THERE.

THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING.

THAT'S ALL WE'RE SPEAKING OF.

SO IF THEY ANNEX, THEY HAVE TO PULL A PERMIT AND THEN ALL THAT REGULATORY STUFF COMES.

I JUST WANT THE, THE RESIDENTS TO KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT ABOUT, IF EVEN IF THEY SAY WE'RE NOT DOING A 500 TRUCK STOP, WE WANNA BUILD A HOTEL WITHOUT BEING AN ANNEX OR APARTMENTS THAT CAN DO THAT, THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING AT.

THAT'S, I I WANT THE RESIDENTS TO UNDERSTAND ALL THIS IS, IS ABOUT ANNEXATION.

THAT'S IT.

FRANKLY, IT'S BETTER IF THEY'RE ANNEXED THAN YOU CAN FOR THE CITY TO, TO REGULATE 'EM, REGULATE MORE REGULATION.

I GUESS MY POINT IS, IF, IF, LET'S JUST SAY THESE FOUR FOLKS SAID WE WANT Y'ALL TO, WE WANT YOU TO TRY TO STOP THIS PROJECT.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T ANNEX THEM.

THAT AIN'T GONNA STOP THE PROJECT.

MM-HMM.

UM, IN, IN FACT, THAT'LL PROBABLY HELP THE PROJECT IF THEY'RE, IF THEY'RE, IF THEY'RE NOT IN THE, IN THE CITY NOW, UM, THEY HAVE AN E TJ AGREEMENT DEVELOPMENT TO THE MICROPHONE.

IT'S NOT BEING CAUGHT BY, OH, WELL I DIDN'T WANT TO BE RUDE.

YEAH, I I KNOW I'M KIND OF TALKING OUT OF PLACE HERE.

THIS PROPERTY GOT ANNEXED THE SAME TIME OUR PROPERTY DID IN 2012, 2013.

MR. BENTON, YOU WERE ON COUNCIL AT THE TIME.

I, I VOTED AGAINST, UH, YES YOU DID.

UM, WITH THAT TEXAS LAW SAID AT THE TIME, I DON'T THINK IT'S CHANGED.

AT AS SOON AS YOU GOT FORCIBLY ANNEXED YOU, THE CITY HAD TO OFFER ETJ AGREEMENT TO ANY PROPERTY UNDER 1D ONE OPEN SPACE AG.

SO WE SIGNED IT JUST LIKE THAT LANDOWNER AT THE TIME DID OF THE TRACT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND AS PART OF THAT ETJ AGREEMENT, AS SOON AS A DEVELOPER SUBMITS A DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE PROPERTY AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES XANAX.

SO I'M TALKING OUTTA MY PLACE HERE, BUT I BELIEVE THE LANDOWNER IS TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE AND INSTEAD OF DOING IT POST, WHICH USUALLY HAPPENS LIKE HAPPENED ON THE LEKI PROPERTY NEXT TO US, THEY'RE GETTING, THEY'RE JUST GOING NOW VOLUNTARILY.

SO, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY'RE GONNA GET ANNEXED BECAUSE THAT'S THE ETJ AGREEMENT.

HMM.

HEY, ANOTHER, ANOTHER THING I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT, WELL, I NECESSARILY POINTED OUT, BUT LET ME A ASK THIS BECAUSE WE GET, WE GET FOLKS THAT ASK US TO TRY TO BLOCK STUFF.

SO THE ONLY PROTECTION FOLKS HAVE, OR CITY ORDINANCES.

AND WE HAVE NO ZONING IN THIS CITY.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND PEOPLE HAVE VOTED ON IT.

THEY'VE HAD TH 2, 3, 4 VOTES WHERE IT WENT TO THE BALLOT BOX AND PEOPLE VOTED IT DOWN.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S GOOD.

AND NOT GOOD OUT HERE.

THERE AIN'T NO DEED RESTRICTIONS.

[00:40:01]

NOW, AS LONG AS SOMEBODY ON ANY PRO, AND I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO OR THEY'RE NOT GOING TO, BUT JUST KEEP THIS IN MIND, AS LONG AS THESE FOLKS FOLLOW THE CURRENT CITY CODES, WE CAN'T STOP 'EM JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY WANTS THEM STOPPED.

IS THAT A, IS THAT AN ACCURATE STATEMENT? CORRECT.

NOW THEY DON'T FOLLOW THE CITY CODES THEN YES, THEY CAN.

THEY THEY HAVE TO COMPLY.

BUT THE, MY POINT OF IT IS, LET ME, LET ME MAKE ANOTHER POINT.

I MEAN, LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

MOST OF US UP HERE DON'T, MAYBE ALL OF US UP HERE DON'T PREFER ANY MORE APARTMENTS IN THE CITY.

I USE THAT ONE AS AN EXAMPLE.

HOWEVER, HOWEVER, IF APARTMENT DEVELOPER COMES ALONG, BUT WE, AND, AND, AND HE COMPLIES WITH ALL THE STANDARDS AND THE RULES AND THE ORDINANCES.

WE CAN'T SAY YOU CAN'T PUT APARTMENTS HERE 'CAUSE WE DON'T LIKE 'EM.

LEMME TELL YOU, THE MAIN THING ON THEM IS, UH, WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT SAYS NO APARTMENTS OVER TWO STORY.

THESE APARTMENT DEVELOPERS CAN'T DEVELOP A PIECE OF PROPERTY NOW FOR APARTMENTS, LET'S SAY GO OVER TWO STORY.

SO THEY COME TO CITY COUNCIL AND THEY SAY, WE WANNA BUILD THIS BEAUTIFUL COMPLEX AND UH, BUT WE CAN'T DO IT UNLESS Y'ALL LET US HAVE FOUR STORY.

AND WE SAY NO.

AND THEY SAY, WELL, OKAY, WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IT.

THAT'S HOW WE NOT HAVE ADD, THAT'S HOW WE NOT ADD ANY MORE APARTMENTS.

BUT IF A DEVELOPER WERE TO SAY, OKAY, YEAH, WE'LL PUT TWO STORY, WE'LL LIMIT IT, TWO STORY, WE'LL PUT ALL THE BUSHES HERE YOU WANT, AND ALL THE LIGHTING AND ALL THE FENCING AND A ALL THE PARKING SPACES A LODGE, THEN PARKING SPACES, WE CAN'T STOP 'EM.

SO THE SAME THING'S GOING TO APPLY HERE.

IF, IF THESE FOLKS COMPLY, THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.

BECAUSE IF WE JUST SAID WE DON'T WANT TO STOP 'EM 'CAUSE WE DON'T WANT 500 TRUCKS.

I MEAN, WHO DOES MM-HMM .

BUT, UH, THEN, THEN THEY COULD HAVE DAMAGES AGAINST US.

SO JUST KEEP IN MIND YES, NO, UH, WE UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETELY.

WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE Y'ALL AWARE BECAUSE WE KNOW SOMETIMES PEOPLE TRY TO PUSH STUFF THROUGH AND GET AROUND STUFF.

SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE Y'ALL AWARE THAT WHAT THEY WERE PROPOSING AND 500 TRUCKS IS A LOT.

UH, I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN DO THAT AND HAVE A DETENTION POND, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

THE MCDONALD'S, I COUNT AT THE AERIAL VIEW OF THE MCDONALD'S AT COTTONWOOD AND I THINK IT IS A HUNDRED OR SO, AND IT TAKES UP ABOUT 15, 20 ACRES.

AND THEY ALSO WANT THREE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS, A MECHANIC AND A TRUCK WASH.

I CAN'T PICTURE HOW YOU CAN PUT THAT ON THERE, BUT I'M, I'M, LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT THE ENGINEER.

I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE THE ORDINANCES AND YOU JUST HAVE, YOU KNOW, WEBSITES ARE ONE THING.

WELL, THEY'RE OUT THERE SURVEYING.

REALITY IS REALITY IS SOMETHING ELSE.

YES, SIR.

SO, WELL, I'M GLAD THAT YOU BROUGHT THIS AND, AND KIND OF HEARING ALL THIS STUFF AND UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN IF IT'S ANNEX, WE CAN'T STOP.

YEAH, I KNOW PEOPLE WHAT THEY DO AS YOU KNOW, I I, I HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS WITH THE SCHOOL COMING OUT THERE, THE PEOPLE WHO'VE LIVED THERE FOR GENERATIONS.

I THINK IT'S A HORRIBLE SPOT FOR IT.

UM, IF I WAS A CITIZEN OUT THERE, I'D BE BEING, PUTTING PROTEST SIGNS UP EVERYWHERE.

BUT, UM, UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, LIKE BILLY HAS SAID AND THE ATTORNEYS AGREED, WE JUST, OUR HANDS ARE TIED TO A POINT NO MATTER HOW BAD OF A SPOT IT IS IN DECISION.

BUT, UM, BUT I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT EVERYTHING HERE AND I'LL KEEP WATCHING IT CLOSELY.

THANK Y'ALL FOR OUR TIME.

WELL, AND WE'RE GONNA OBVIOUSLY HEAR MORE ABOUT IT.

UH, THE ITEM WILL BE PULLED HERE SHORTLY AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO REAPPLY AND WE'LL HAVE TO HEAR THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY.

I WILL SAY THAT'S RIGHT ON THE FREEWAY, MA'AM.

I'M NOT SURE.

I MEAN, I DON'T THINK IT'S A BAD SPOT FOR A TRUCK.

NO, I'M NOT ARGUING THAT.

UM, UH, IT IS JUST, I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN FIT.

I KNOW WE'RE GOING OFF IN THE WEEDS HERE.

I'M NOT AN ENGINEER ARCHITECT.

I JUST DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN FIT ALL THAT ON 34 ACRES AND STILL.

RIGHT.

AND THEY PROBABLY CAN'T AND THEY PROBABLY AIN'T.

AND WITH THE SCHOOL COMING OUT THERE, IT'S GONNA JUST BE MORE CONGESTIONS BE HORRIBLE.

MM-HMM .

HORRIBLE FOR THAT SCHOOL.

HEY, BUT Y'ALL THANK Y'ALL FOR COMING.

AND WE'LL, UH, WE'LL MOVE ON SO WE EVERYBODY CAN GET GOING HERE.

MAYOR, CAN YOU FORM CLOSE THE, ALRIGHT.

YEP.

WE'LL CLOSE THE, UH, PUB.

LET'S SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS.

ANYBODY? STEVE? NO.

FELIX? NOPE.

SAY WHAT YOU SAID AGAIN.

ALRIGHT, WE'LL, UH, CLOSE THE MEETING AT SEVEN 15.

THANK Y'ALL FOR COMING.

PREFER A POSTPONE OR TABLE.

THE CITY'S NOT OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE ANY FUNDS UNDER THE TERM OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

THE CITY WILL RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE 16 ACRES.

IN ADDITION, THE CITY WILL HAVE A 3.72 ACRE PARCEL CREATED AT THE CORNER OF BENTON AND RICEVILLE ROAD FOR FUTURE COMMERCIAL USE.

AND WE'RE STILL JUST KEEPING OWNER OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND.

WE'RE KEEPING THE OWNERSHIP OF THE LAWN, UH, OF THE, WE'RE KEEPING THE OWNERSHIP OF THE, OF THE PROPERTY, BUT THEY'RE JUST GONNA OPERATE.

AND I, I BELIEVE I SAW HERE THAT THE CITY PAYS THE UTILITY COST FOR UP TO 3.72 ACRE FOR THE COMMERCIAL PARCEL.

SO, UH, THERE'S GONNA END UP BEING THAT, THAT HARD CORNER OF RICE FIELD ROAD AND BENTON ROAD THAT THE CITY'S GONNA END UP KEEPING SO THAT WE CAN END UP DOING SOMETHING WITH THAT PROPERTY.

THAT'S AT THE CORNER.

THAT'S THE CORNER WE WILL RETAIN.

THAT'S A COMMERCIAL PIECE OF PROPERTY.

STAFF RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER R DASH 40 53 AS PRESENTED.

ALRIGHT, I DON'T THINK AMANDA WAS ON THE COUNCIL.

WELL, I'M POSITIVE SHE WAS NOT ON THE COUNCIL WHEN WE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS.

SO LET'S GO TO GRADY FIRST.

THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS AND SOME QUESTIONS AND SOME COMMENTS AND I KNOW NOW IS THE TIME ALSO TO CONTINUE THAT, THAT, BUT, OR, OR LET ME ASK GRADY AND JOYCE.

UM, SO IT, IT SAYS HERE, THE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO ADD GRADY OR JOYCE? THAT'S A DUAL NOT FROM LEGAL.

HUH? NOT FROM LEGAL.

WELL IT'S JUST A RECOMMENDATION.

Y'ALL DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

WELL, JOYCE, NOT REALLY.

I MEAN WE'VE WORKED WITH THIS DEVELOPER FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

UM, I THINK WE'VE WORKED EVERYTHING OUT.

WE ADDRESSED Y'S CONCERNS.

UM, UM, SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING PEOPLE.

SO THE THE CONCERNS WERE WHAT OFFSIDE PARKING, THE, THE CONCERNS WERE IF THERE WAS ENOUGH PARKING OR NOT.

UM, UM, MOHAMED, IS THERE MORE SPECIFICS THAT YOU WANNA GO OVER? NO.

UM, YEAH, PARKING WAS ONE OF THEM AND UM, THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT THAT THEY WILL USE THE, THE ENTIRE SITE FOR PARKING.

SO THEY'VE GOT AN OFFICE CONDOMINIUM ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND YOU'VE GOT ENTERTAINMENT, FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT ON THE NORTH SIDE.

SO THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT TO SHARE THAT PARKING IN THE EVENING WHEN THE ENTERTAINMENT IS OPEN.

BUT I THINK THEY'RE PROVIDING PARKING BASED ON THE CITY RE REQUIREMENTS.

AND SO PARKING SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE.

UH, THEY HAVE PLACED A LOT OF USE RESTRICTIONS IN THE CONDO PORTION.

SO IT'LL ALL BE OFFICES, THERE'LL BE NO, ANY MASSAGE PARLORS, NONE OF THAT.

ALL OF THE, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THE NO-NOS.

THEY ARE NOT ALLOWABLE IN, IN THE CONDO OFFICE.

UH, THEY'RE PROVIDING US BETTER EXTERIOR ON ALL THE BUILDINGS.

UH, SO, AND IT'S JUST UP TO 30 BUSINESSES.

IT'S UP TO 30 UNITS.

SO THEY HAVE ABOUT MAYBE FIVE TO SIX BUILDINGS AND EACH BUILDING WILL BE DIVIDED INTO, THOSE ARE GETTING VERY OFFICE CONDOMINIUMS FOR DOCTORS, LAWYERS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

YEAH, THOSE KIND OF STRIPS ARE GETTING VERY POPULAR.

SEVERAL ARE IN SUGARLAND.

I KNOW SEVERAL ARE THE WOODLANDS WHERE MY OLD OFFICE WAS AND YEAH.

SO IS THE, UH, THE PROPRIETOR HERE? YES.

OH GREAT.

HEY, CAN YOU COME UP HERE A SECOND? WOULD Y'ALL MIND? I, HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING? GOOD, GOOD SIR.

HEY, WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND, AND, UH, OFFICE ADDRESS? SATYA GURU AND UH, OUR OFFICE IS IN, UH, CYPRUS.

CYPRUS.

SO DO YOU OWN THIS PROPERTY? YES.

THESE UM, THESE OFFICE CONDOMINIUMS. NOW, THEY'RE NOT FOR RESIDENTIAL OBVIOUSLY.

WILL THERE BE SHOWERS IN THEM? NO.

IT'S JUST A REGULAR OFFICE ATMOSPHERE.

IT'S LEGAL PROFESSIONAL OFFICES, MEDICAL OFFICES.

AND DIDN'T YOU SAY, UH, BACK IN OCTOBER THEY WERE LIKE THE ONES IN SHE LAND BY THE, SOMEWHERE OVER THERE.

IT'S SIMILAR CONCEPT.

SIMILAR TO CONCEPT.

THE CONCEPT IS SIMILAR TO THAT.

I'LL REMEMBER THAT.

I, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR ROSENBERG.

UM, ESPECIALLY THEY'RE BRINGING THAT ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.

AND I WAS GONNA ASK ABOUT THE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT.

IS IT LIKE A, LIKE A MAIN EVENT? YES.

HOT PLACE WHERE BOWLING ARCADE, DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT FOR KIDS? YES.

VERY SIMILAR TO MAIN EVENT.

WE ARE BRINGING BING ARCADE LASER TAG.

WE ARE BRINGING ROPE COURSE AND WE ARE ACTUALLY EVALUATING, UH, A NEW CONCEPT THAT IS NOT THERE AT THE MOMENT IN TEXAS.

SO CAN YOU SHARE WHAT THAT IS? ? ? I CANNOT SHARE THAT UNFORTUNATELY, BUT, BUT, UH, IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE, UH, UH, CONCEPT OPTION.

BUT IF WE GO WITH THE MAIN EVENT CONCEPT, IT'S ALREADY THERE.

MM-HMM .

BUT WE STILL WANT TO EVALUATE AND TRY AND BE REASONABLY PRICED FOR ALL OF OUR FAMILIES.

WE CAN TAKE KIDS AND ALL THAT TO DE BOWL AND EVERYTHING.

IT, IT IS SOMETHING LIKE THAT AROUND HERE I THINK IS VERY NEEDED.

YEAH, I THINK SO.

'CAUSE WE HAVE TO GO INTO SUGAR LAND OR WE HAVE TO GO INTO KATY AND, YOU KNOW, IT'D JUST BE EASIER FOR ME AS GRANNY COULD TAKE 'EM AROUND THE CORNER.

SO, NO, I THINK THAT'S A, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
