          SORRY TO IN ABOUT ANOTHER 30 SECONDS OR SO. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, HELLO 
          [CALL TO ORDER]
AND WELCOME TO THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION ON JUNE 1ST, 2022 AT 6:00 PM. 
          AT THE PERMITTING AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER EVENT CENTER AT ROOM 1 4 0 5 AT 6 3 1 0 WILHELMINA DELCO DRIVE, AUSTIN, TEXAS 7 8 7 5 2. 
          UH, LET'S START WITH ROLL CALL COMMISSIONER CRASHY COMMISSIONER SCOTT COMMISSIONER THOMPSON. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER SHIRA HERE. 
          COMMISSIONER BAIRD, BIXLER COMMISSIONER NICHOLS HERE, SECRETARY BRISTOL CHAIR RAMBERT. 
          THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. 
           COMMISSIONER BRIMER HERE AND COMMISSIONER BEDFORD HERE. 
          UH, OKAY. 
          HAS EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE, OH, EXCUSE ME. 
          UH, FIRST WE HAVE 
          [PUBLIC COMMUNICATION: GENERAL]
 COMMUNICATION AND WE HAVE CRAIG NASER. 
          HELLO. 
          MY NAME IS CRAIG NASER AND I'M HERE WITH THE SIERRA CLUB. 
          THIS CONCERNS THE Q2 STADIUM, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, AS NEW FACILITY UP AT THE EDGE BETWEEN DIFF DISTRICT SEVEN AND DISTRICT FOUR. 
          IT HAS BEEN BUILT UPON THE HEADWATERS A LITTLE WALNUT CREEK, UH, TO BUILD THAT STADIUM AND PUT SO MUCH IMPERVIOUS COVER. 
          THEY HAD TO PUT A FLOOD WATER, A STORM WATER DETENTION POND. 
          NOW THE PROBLEM WITH THE POND IS THAT IT DOESN'T DRAIN AS OPPOSED TO TRAIN FOR HOURS, BUT IT DOESN'T EVER DRAIN. 
          AND A WATERSHED IS WORKING ON THIS WITH THE STADIUM BECAUSE IT'S A, IT'S A REGIONAL POD HAS GOT TO WORK. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT I JUST WANT TO BRING POINT OUT TO YOU THAT THE POND, BECAUSE IT'S, IT HAS TO BE PRETTY BIG. 
          IT'S BUILT BELOW GRADE AND THERE IS A PUMP THAT PUMPS THROUGH THE BOTTOM AND PUMPS DOWN LITTLE WALNUT CREEK. 
          AND RIGHT NOW THE, THE, THE PUMP IS, UM, THERE THERE'S SOME BLOCKAGE IN THE, UH, THE OUTFLOW AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE PLANNING ON FIXING THAT AND IT'S LOOKS LIKE WE'RE HAVING A DRY SUMMER. 
          SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S A BIG PROBLEM, BUT IF YOU'LL PUT UP THE FIRST SLIDE, PLEASE, LET'S PAUSE THIS TIME WHILE WE'RE GETTING THAT. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THERE'S THE BLOCKAGE. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S A LOT OF LEAVES, BUT IF YOU LOOK WRAPPED UP IN THE LEAVES ARE A LOT OF SHEET PLASTIC. 
          AND I THINK THAT THE SHEET PLASTIC IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THERE. 
          LET'S NEXT SLIDE. 
          THIS IS LOOKING TOWARDS THE RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          NEXT SLIDE IS LOOKING BACK FROM UNDER THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND YOU SEE ALL THE PLASTIC. 
          IF YOU DIG THROUGH THERE, THERE'S A LOT OF SHEET PLASTIC IN THERE. 
          AND I THINK THAT, I THINK THE LEAVES WOULD WASH THROUGH MUCH EASIER, EASIER IF THERE WAS A SHEET PLASTIC, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          WHAT THIS IS NOW DOING? THIS IS THE DETENTION POND. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE WATER IS BACK FLOWING. 
          SO THE PUMP IS PUMPING OUT FROM UNDER IT. 
          IT PUTS SARAH IN HIS, ALL THOSE LEADS AND SHEET PLASTIC AND FLOWS BACK INTO THE POND. 
          AND WHAT THIS MEANS IS WHEN IT DOES RAIN, THERE'LL BE MORE WATER IN THE POT. 
          IT ALSO MEANS THAT THESE PUMPS ARE WORKING A LOT AND THERE ARE VERY, 
          [00:05:01]
THEY NEED TO WORK, YOU KNOW, AND THE MORE YOU USE THEM, THE SOONER YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THEM SOONER, THEY MAY GO OUT. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          NOW HERE IS THE POND. 
          IT NEVER COMPLETELY DRIES. 
          AND BECAUSE OF THAT, IT'S MUDDY. 
          AND WHAT IT COLLECTS IN THE BOTTOM IS BIG PIECES OF SHEET PLASTIC, A LOT OF GARBAGE WITH SOME BIG PIECES SHEET PLASTIC, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          HERE'S AT THE OTHER END, YOU CAN SEE MULCH BAGS, WHATEVER YOU MIGHT HAVE. 
          NOW, THIS STADIUM MAKES A LOT OF MONEY. 
          AND WHEN YOU GO IN THE STEAM, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL STADIUM. 
          AND WHEN YOU GO ON TO LOOK AT THE FIELD, IT'S SPOTLESS, THERE'S NO GARBAGE IN, IN THE STADIUM, THERE'S THEY, THEY, THEY, THEY PRESSURE WASH IT BECAUSE OF, OF COVID IT'S SPOTLESS EXCEPT IN THE DETENTION POND. 
          NOW, MY QUESTION IS WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING THEM CLEAN THE DETENTION POND. 
          CAUSE I CAN'T A NUMBER TO CALL THEM, TO ASK THEM. 
          THERE'S NOT ALL I CAN DO IS BUY TICKETS. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS, BUT IT WOULD REALLY HELP. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          NEXT UP WE HAVE THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES, 
          [1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES AND ACTION]
UM, OF ALL THE COMMISSIONERS HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THOSE. 
          AND DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES I MOVE TO APPROVE THE MINUTES? SECOND, SECOND. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, I THINK, UH, UH, COMMISSIONER, BRIMER GOT IT RIGHT BEFORE YOU TIE GOES TO RUBBER SHOWS OUT, SO THAT'S GOOD. 
          THANK YOU ALL. 
          OKAY. 
          NEXT STEP. 
          UH, PUBLIC HEARINGS, UM, ITEM THREE B 
          [3b. Name: Sky Mountain, SP-2021-0079C]
FOR SKY MOUNTAIN. 
          UM, WE HAVE THE APPLICANT. 
          WELL, DO WE HAVE A SOUTHWEST? WE HAVE, UH, PAMELA AB TALI ON WEBEX. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OH YES. 
          SORRY. 
          WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE AGENDA AROUND A LITTLE BIT. 
          WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A THREE B FIRST AND THEN THREE D AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO TWO WAY AFTERWARD. 
          MISS AMY TALI. 
          WE HAVE THE PRESENTATION READY TO GO WHEN YOU ARE PAMELA, WE CANNOT HEAR YOU OR YOU POSSIBLY MUTED. 
          PAMELA, COULD YOU PLEASE TRY SPEAKING AGAIN? PAMELA, YOUR MIC IS NOT WORKING, SO WE WOULD ADVISE THAT YOU LEAVE THE MEETING AND COME BACK AND, UM, PAMELA, GIVE ME A THUMBS UP IF WE SHOULD GO AHEAD AND PROCEED TO HAVE THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION FIRST. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WE'RE JUST GOING TO WAIT FOR MS. AMY TOLLEY TO RETURN FOR A MOMENT. 
          I APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY. 
          MY ACTUALLY, KAYLA, WE COULD PROBABLY USE HER SLIDE DECK. 
          I MEAN, IF YOU WANT US TO START TALKING ABOUT IT 
          [00:10:43]
CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME NOW? YES, WE CAN. 
          AND IT'S THE, YEAH, WE CAN NOT WANT TO GO YET. 
          WE ARE PULLING UP HERE. 
          I COULD GO AHEAD AND GO WITH YOU. 
          HAVE, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND GO NOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOOD. 
          GOOD. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AGAIN, PAMELA, YOU'D BE TOLLING. 
          OH, CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND UH, SO THIS IS FOR ACTUALLY, IF YOU COULD GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING, GO BACK ONE SLIDE PLEASE. 
          OKAY. 
          FOR SKY MOUNTAIN. 
          THIS IS, UH, WHICH IS AT 87 22 WEST STATE HIGHWAY 71, CASE NUMBER S P 20 21 0 0 7 9 SCENE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTHWEST OF AUSTIN OUT ON HIGHWAY 71. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          HERE'S A CLOSER UP SHOT OF THE MAP. 
          YOU CAN SEE IT'S THERE BETWEEN HIGHWAY 71 IN SOUTHWEST PARKWAY IN THE FOR-PURPOSE JURISDICTION. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO DATA, THIS SITE IS IN THE WILLIAMSON CREEK WATERSHED, WHICH, UH, THIS SECTION OF THE WILLIAMSON CREEK WATERSHED IS CLASSIFIED AS BARTON SPRINGS ZONE, WHICH IS DRINKING WATER PROTECTION ZONE. 
          THE SITE IS IN THE FULL PURPOSE JURISDICTION IN COUNCIL DISTRICT EIGHT. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THE SITE CONSTRAINTS ARE TWO AREAS OF SLOPE BETWEEN FIVE AND 15% GRADE. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          HERE'S WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE IN CLOSE UP. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          AND HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE THEY WERE THERE. 
          SO THESE WERE CREATED BY PHIL THAT WAS PLACED ON THE SITE AROUND 1980. 
          GIVE OR TAKE HERE'S A PICTURE FROM 1976 WHERE YOU SEE IT WAS JUST NICE FLAT LAND. 
          THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, BY 1984, THEY HAD ALL OF THIS FILL COMING IN. 
          UM, AND THIS WAS BEFORE THIS WAS IN THE CITY'S JURISDICTION. 
          UH, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE, BY 1997, THEY'D KIND OF FINISHED UP AND IT WAS STARTING TO REVEGETATE. 
          AND NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY. 
          SO THE FILL THAT WAS PLACED HERE WAS NOT COMPACTED AS IT WAS PLACED. 
          AND SO IT'S THEREFORE INFEASIBLE TO BUILD ON IT, JUST LIKE IT IS NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THEREFORE, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED TO VARY FROM THE CUT REQUIREMENTS TO BE ALLOWED TO CUT OVER FOUR FEET DOWN TO 16 FEET. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          HERE IS THE GRADING EXHIBIT. 
          ALL OF THE COLORS, THERE ARE GRADING A CUT MORE THAN FOUR FEET. 
          SO THE GRAY GOES UP TO FOUR FEET AND OVER FOUR FEET, THERE'S ALL THOSE PRETTY COLORS. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE PURPLE IS UP THERE WHERE THE WORST OF THE STEEPEST OF THE, UM, OF THE FILL WAS. 
          AND NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO STAFF FIGURES THAT'S THE, UH, OR JUDGES THAT THE REMOVAL OF THE FILL AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE WILL REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE EROSION ON THESE STEEP ARTIFICIALLY CONSTRUCTED SLOPES. 
          THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND THE VARIANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS THAT ALL GRADING OVER EIGHT FEET WILL BE CONTAINED WITH TERRACING OR ENGINEERED WALLS THAT AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION AND IN AREAS WHERE MORE THAN THREE FEET OF VERTICAL RISE IS PROPOSED ALL THREE TO ONE SLOPES FOR GREATER WE'LL HAVE EROSION CONTROL MATTING APPLIED IMMEDIATELY AFTER FINAL GRADE IS ACHIEVED TO REDUCE EROSION. 
          AND THE THIRD CONDITION IS THAT DISTURBANCE IN THE WATER IRRIGATION FIELDS WILL BE MINIMIZED BY RESTRICTING THE LOC OR LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION AND ROUTING THE IRRIGATION LINES IN SUCH A WAY AS TO PRESERVE 
          [00:15:01]
THE EXISTING TREES TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THAT'S BASICALLY THE GIST OF THE ARGUMENT AND, UM, I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT HAS A PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU, MISSIONERS. 
          MY NAME'S DANNY MILLER WITH LJA ENGINEERING, UH, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT. 
          WE DON'T HAVE A FORMAL PRESENTATION MAINLY HERE TO ADD ANSWER QUESTIONS AND MAYBE ADD SOME, SOME COLOR TO PAMELA'S PRESENTATION. 
          UM, I, I WILL POINT OUT THAT, UH, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF FOR A GOOD, GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME ON THIS PROJECT. 
          UH, STAFF'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL IN, IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION FOR THIS. 
          THIS IS A SOMEWHAT UNIQUE, UH, SITUATION CIRCUMSTANCE IN THAT THE CODE DOESN'T REALLY ADDRESS HOW TO DEAL WITH CUT AND FILL WHEN YOU HAVE AREAS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY DISTURBED BEFORE THEY FELL UNDER THAT, YOU KNOW, UNDER THAT JURISDICTION. 
          AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH STAFF ON, ON A VARIETY OF OPTIONS AND SCENARIOS. 
          AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, FELT LIKE IT WAS JUST BEST TO CLEAN IT UP AND GO THROUGH THE VARIANCE PROCESS. 
          AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY THE PURPOSE OF US BEING HERE. 
          UM, UH, BUT LIKE PAMELA SAID, UH, THE PHIL'S BEEN THERE SINCE THE EARLY EIGHTIES, IT WAS PLACED IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. 
          UM, THERE'S LOTS OF, I WOULDN'T SAY THERE'S, UM, UNSUITABLE MATERIAL, BUT IT'S JUST PLACED IN AN UNSUITABLE MANNER THAT THAT WOULD CAUSE US TO HAVE TO REMOVE REPROCESSED THE MATERIAL, REPLACE IT. 
          AND THAT CREATES A LOT MORE DISTURBANCE, UH, THAN, THAN WE REALLY NEED TO GO THROUGH. 
          AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, UH, WE CAME UP WITH THIS PARTICULAR GRADING PLAN IS PROBABLY OUR THIRD OR FOURTH GRADING PLAN. 
          UH, AND, AND IT'S ONE THAT STAFF, UH, FELT LIKE THEY COULD SUPPORT THE VARIANTS FOR. 
          SO, UH, IT'S A, IT'S A GRADING PLAN THAT MINIMIZES THE DISTURBANCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHILE ALLOWING US TO FULLY BE ABLE TO UTILIZE, UH, THE SITE, UM, IN THE MANNER THAT WE'RE PROPOSING. 
          UH, THIS PORTION OF THE PROJECT IS, UH, COMPLYING WITH SOS. 
          UH, WE HAVE SOS WATER, QUALITY CONTROLS, UM, PLACE, OR THEY'RE NOT IN PLACE, BUT AS A PART OF THE PROJECT, OF COURSE, UH, AND, UH, THE REAR ARROGATION AREA THAT, UM, PAMELA MENTIONED, UH, RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY DISTURBANCE TO THAT AREA WOULD BE, UM, UH, THE MINIMUM AMOUNT NEEDED TO, UH, INSTALL THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM, THE DRAIN, THE IRRIGATION LINES, SPRINKLER HEADS, AND, UM, WHATEVER FRANK DELLA PLANE REQUIRES IN THE FIELD. 
          UM, IF Y'ALL KNOW, FRANK, HE SOMETIMES REQUIRES US TO, TO TRIM AND PRUNE VEGETATION SO THAT THE IRRIGATION OPERATES IN A MORE, UH, YOU KNOW, SUITABLE MANNER FOR HIS, HIS ACCEPTANCE PROCESS. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WHEN THE COMMISSIONERS LET'S SEE ANYONE REMOTE? OKAY. 
          COMMISSIONER THOMPSON, DID YOU EXPLAIN WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE BCCP? SO, UM, THE, UH, ONLY A PORTION OF THE SITE WAS, WAS FOUND TO HAVE POTENTIALLY SUITABLE HABITAT AND, UH, WE'RE CERTAINLY COMPLYING WITH THE, UM, INTENDING TO COMPLY WITH THE CLEARING LIMITATIONS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, FROM BASICALLY NO CLEARING BETWEEN MARCH 1ST AND AUGUST 30TH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SEPTEMBER 1ST. 
          UM, AND, YOU KNOW, OTHERWISE WOULD, WOULD BE, UH, PARTICIPATING IN THE BCCP. 
          UM, ALSO, COULD YOU EXPLAIN, UM, THERE ARE LISTS OF TREES HERE AND SOME OF THEM ARE MARKED THROUGH AND SOME OF THEM ARE NOT, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS. 
          THE ON THE TREE LIST, THE TREES THAT HAVE A, A MARK THROUGH THEM, THOSE ARE TREES THAT ARE PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED. 
          OKAY. 
          [00:20:02]
DO YOU HAVE ANY HERITAGE TREES? WE HAVE TWO OR THREE HERITAGE TREES, UM, AND WE'RE, WE'RE SAVING ALL OF THOSE HERITAGE TREES. 
          NO HERITAGE TREES ARE, ARE IMPACTED. 
          AND WE, UM, RECENTLY, UH, OBTAINED APPROVAL FROM THE CITY ARBORIST ON THIS PROJECT. 
          IS THERE ANY MITIGATION? YES, THERE'S THERE IS MITIGATION. 
          I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE QUANTITIES ARE, BUT YES, THERE'S, THERE'S TREE MITIGATION THAT SATISFIED THE ARBORS REQUIREMENTS. 
          WOULD THAT BE ON SITE OR DO YOU KNOW? YES, IT'LL ALL BE ONSITE. 
          AND THAT'S PART OF YOUR LANDSCAPE PLAN. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          AND, UM, YOU'RE GOING TO USE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA LIST OF TREES TO, OKAY. 
          YES, MA'AM THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU CHAIR. 
          REMEMBER? YEAH. 
          THANKS. 
          UM, I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION. 
          I THINK YOU MAY HAVE, YOU MAY HAVE ASKED IT, BUT THAT LAST STAFF CONDITION DISTURBANCE ON THE STORM WATER IRRIGATION FIELDS WILL BE MINIMIZED TO BY RESTRICTING THE LOC AND ROUTING IRRIGATION LINES, PRESERVE EXISTING TREES TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE IS THAT IS THE INTENT OF KIND OF MEETING THAT IN ADDITION TO JUST KIND OF WORK WITH STAFF IN THE FIELD. 
          UM, AND I GUESS, YOU KNOW, ACCOMMODATE THEIR WISHES OR KIND OF HOW IS, HOW IS THAT GONNA HOW'S THE RUBBER HIT THE ROAD ON THAT CONDITION? YEAH, SO THE, THE, THE PLANS, UM, ON THE EROSION SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN, WE DELINEATED THE LOC. 
          SO THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET WIDE, UH, ALONG WHERE THE IRRIGATION LINES WILL BE LOCATED. 
          AND THEN, UM, WHAT FRANK, HISTORICALLY WHAT FRANK, UM, REQUIRES WHEN HE INSPECTS THESE AREAS. 
          HE, HE DOESN'T, HE DOESN'T REQUIRE US TO LITERALLY CLEAR TREES, BUT HE DOES SOMETIMES REQUIRE US TO PRUNE THE TREES SO THAT THE CANOPY IS LIFTED UP TO ALLOW THE IRRIGATION TO, TO SPREAD OUT MORE AND, UH, YOU KNOW, GET BETTER ABSORPTION INTO THE, INTO THE SOIL. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S GENERALLY HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. 
          OKAY. 
          NOT SURE IF I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION, BUT I THINK YOU DID. 
          I MEAN, I THINK HE DID. 
          PAMELA, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD THERE TOO, OR, OH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT, THAT WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS REALLY SCOOCHED THE LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION TO WHERE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE, UM, DISTURBING ANY OTHER TREES THAT THEN EXACTLY. 
          AND THEY'VE REALLY WORKED TO GET IT SITUATED SO THAT THEY HAVE A ROUTE THAT DOESN'T BOTHER ANY TREES. 
          AND I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S AN EXEMPLARY PLAN IN THAT SENSE, TO THAT, TO THAT POINT, THE, THE EXISTING LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE PLANS TO MEET THE STAFF CONDITION. 
          IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YES. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THAT WAS MY CONCERN. 
          JUST MAKING SURE IT WAS BAD, A WAY TO FLIP THE LOAD, SO, PERFECT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT WAS MY ONLY, UH, ONLY QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS ON THE DIOCESE, SECRETARY BRISTOL. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          SO I'M LOOKING HERE AT THE BACKUP. 
          I DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON, UM, COMMISSIONER THOMPSON'S QUESTION. 
          UM, SO IT LOOKS LIKE Y'ALL HAD A, UM, A GOLDEN CHEEK WARBLER HABITAT, UM, SURVEY DONE. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DID IT OUT OF SEASON. 
          UM, AND SO IT LOOKS LIKE THERE PROBABLY SHOULD BE AN IN SEASON STUDY DONE IF I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY. 
          AND THEN IT LOOKS LIKE, IT LOOKS LIKE Y'ALL HAVE NOT APPLIED FOR THE PERMIT YET FOR THE BCCP. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? SO THE, THE SURVEY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT WAS PERFORMED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, BUT, UH, OUR UNDERSTANDING IS WHEN YOU PARTICIPATE INTO THE BCCP, YOU'RE PAYING THE MITIGATION FEE AND THEREFORE YOU DON'T NEED TO PERFORM A SURVEY, EVEN ONLY DO THE SURVEY. 
          IF YOU'RE TRYING TO DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE HABITAT AND ARE TRYING TO THEREFORE NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE INTO THE BCCP. 
          OKAY. 
          CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU KIND OF BOTH. 
          YEAH, THEY DID. 
          THEY DID DO BOTH, BUT, UM, BECAUSE WE WERE IN A HURRY AND DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND THE TIME WAITING FOR THE BIRD SEASON TO COME AROUND AND ALL OF THAT, THEY ELECTED TO GO AHEAD AND PARTICIPATE INTO BCCP. 
          THEY HAVE YOU'RE CORRECT THAT THEY HAVE NOT APPLIED FOR THAT APPLICATION THAT IT WILL BE DONE BEFORE, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THEY BEGAN CONSTRUCTION. 
          OKAY. 
          CAUSE IT DOES HAVE A, UH, IT DOES HAVE A TIMELINE IN HERE WITHIN THREE WEEKS. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU.

          SEE, WHEREAS THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM LDC TWO FIVE DASH EIGHT DASH 3 4 1. 
          OR IS THAT 3 42? KAYLA, YOU HAVE A CORRECT. 
          3, 4, 1, 3, 4 1 TO ALLOW A CUT OVER FOUR FEET TO 16 FEET. 
          AND WHEREAS ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES A SITE IS LOCATED IN THE WILLIAMSON CREEK, BARTON SPRINGS ZONE CLASSIFICATION, DRINKING WATER PROTECTED ZONE. 
          AND WHEREAS THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS VARIANCE WITH THREE STAFF CONDITIONS. 
          HAVING DETERMINED, THE REQUIRED FINDING OF FACTS HAVE BEEN MET. 
          THEREFORE THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOMMENDS A VARIANCE REQUESTS WITH THE FOLLOWING STAFF CONDITIONS. 
          ALL GRADING OVER EIGHT FEET WILL BE CONTAINED WITH TERRACING OR ENGINEER WALLS AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION AND IN THE AREA WHERE THERE'S THREE FEET OF VERTICAL RISE IS PROPOSED THREE TO ONE RATIO SLOPES WE'LL HAVE EROSION CONTROL MATTING APPLIED IMMEDIATELY. 
          AFTER FINAL GRADE IS ACHIEVED AND DISTURBANCE IN THE STORM WATER IRRIGATION FIELDS WILL BE MINIMIZED BY RESTRICTING THE LOC AND ROUTING THE IRRIGATION LINES TO PRESERVE EXISTING TREES TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE. 
          AND IF WE HAVE ANY STUFF, CONDITIONS, WE CAN ADD THOSE IN A MOMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          THIS IS RAMBERT GUYS.

NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA IS, UH, UNDER THE PUBLIC HEARINGS IS ITEM THREE D OR AUSTIN READY? MIX WASTEWATER SERVICE, EXTENSION REQUESTS, NUMBER 5, 3 1 3. 
          I BELIEVE WE HAVE A STAFF PRESENTATION AS WELL.

          GOOD EVENING. 
          COMMISSIONERS. 
          MY NAME'S KAYLA CHAMPLIN AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM COORDINATOR FOR THE WATERSHED PROTECTION DEPARTMENT AND I'M GOING TO BE MAKING A PRESENTATION AND I HAVE TO SCREENING MOMENT. 
          GOODBYE PRESENTATION LOADED. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO TONIGHT, UH, STAFF ARE REQUESTING THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION REVIEW AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON THE AUSTIN READY-MIX WASTEWATER SERVICE EXTENSION REQUEST NUMBER 3 5 3 1 3. 
          OKAY. 
          SO SINCE WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW MEMBERS ON THE COMMISSION, I WANT TO GIVE Y'ALL A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON WHAT AN SCR IS AND WHY IT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. 
          SO SERVE AS EXTENSION REQUEST OR AN SCR IS AN APPLICATION FOR CITY WATER OR WASTEWATER SERVICE FROM A PROPERTY OWNER OR DEVELOPER. 
          AN SCR IS REQUIRED WHEN THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED MORE THAN A HUNDRED FEET FROM AN ACCESSIBLE WATER OR WASTEWATER SYSTEM, OR WHEN EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE ISN'T ADEQUATE FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT, DEMANDS SERVICE MAY INVOLVE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW LINE OR AN ASSOCIATED FACILITY OR UPGRADES TO EXISTING LINES OR FACILITIES. 
          THE APPLICANT PAYS FOR THE ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE AS OUTLINED IN THE SCR PER THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE STRS REQUIRE COUNCIL APPROVAL. 
          IF THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE DRINKING WATER PROTECTION ZONE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CITIES WILL PURPOSE JURISDICTION, THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION REVIEWS AND MAKES A RECOMMENDATION 
          [00:30:01]
ON THE SCRS THAT REQUIRE COUNCIL APPROVAL. 
          ONE IMPORTANT DISTINCTION TO MAKE IS THAT NO CONDITIONS MAY BE PLACED ON YOUR STR RECOMMENDATION. 
          SO YOU EITHER HAVE TO VOTE FOR IT OR AGAINST IT, BUT YOU CAN'T PUT ANY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION CONDITIONS ON IT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UH, THE APPLICANT IN THIS PROJECT IS REQUESTING A WASTEWATER SURFACE EXTENSION REQUEST FOR ATTRACT OF APPROXIMATELY 4.44 ACRES LOCATED AT 87 38 WEST US HIGHWAY TWO 90. 
          THE SITE IS IN THE SLAUGHTER CREEK WATERSHED, THE BARRED SPRING ZONE, THE EDWARDS AQUIFER CONTRIBUTING ZONE AND THE DRINKING WATER PROTECTION ZONE DECIDE IS ALSO SUBJECT TO THE SAVE OUR SPRINGS ORDINANCE. 
          THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO BUILD AN 82,000 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE BUILDING WITH 21 L U E S OR LIVING UNIT EQUIVALENTS, WHICH IS THE TYPICAL FLOW THAT WOULD BE PRODUCED BY A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. 
          THE PROJECT DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION AND REVIEW WITH THE CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE SITE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CITY'S FULL JURISDICTION. 
          THIS IS THE SITE LOCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF IMAGINE AUSTIN'S GROWTH CONCEPT MAP, AND IT IS NOT LOCATED NEAR ONE OF THE CENTERS OR CORRIDORS WHERE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SEEKS TO DIRECT NEW DEVELOPMENT. 
          THIS IS A SITE LOCATION JUST SHOWING THAT IS IN A TWO MILE EXTRA TORAH, I'M SORRY, EXTRA TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. 
          AND THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY OUTLINED IN RED. 
          UH, THE PROPERTY DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY KNOWN CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES. 
          IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY CREEKS OR CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE OR WATER QUALITY TRANSITION ZONE. 
          AND IT DOES NOT DRAIN TO KNOWN SALAMANDER HABITAT. 
          IT'S JUST A SUMMARY OF WHAT I JUST MENTIONED. 
          OKAY. 
          SO HERE'S A MAP OF THE PROPOSED WASTEWATER EXTENSION FOR SCR 5 3 1 3. 
          THE PROPOSED WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE CONSTRUCTING APPROXIMATELY 810 FEET OF FORCE MAIN FROM AN EXISTING EIGHT INCH GRAVITY. 
          WHAT WAYS WATER MAIN LOCATED IN CIRCLE DRIVE? UM, THAT'S NEAR SOUTH AVENUE AND EXTENDS WEST ALONG CIRCLE DRIVE, AND THEN SOUTH IN WEST, ALONG SOUTH BEND AVENUE TO THE SUBJECT TRACT AS SHOWN ON THIS MAP, UH, THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING A WATER SERVICE EXTENSION REQUEST BECAUSE THERE IS ALREADY A 12 INCH WATER MAIN ONSITE TO CONNECT IN CIR CIRCLE DRIVE THAT MEETS THEIR FIRE AND DOMESTIC NEEDS FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO OUR STAFF ALSO LOOK AT ALTERNATIVE WASTEWATER OPTIONS. 
          IF THE SER IS NOT GRANTED, THE FIRST THING WE USUALLY LOOK AT IS AN ONSITE SEWAGE FACILITY OR O S S F IN THIS CASE, AN OSS F WOULD NOT BE A FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVE BECAUSE OF THE MSE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF FLOW THAT'S REQUIRED FOR THIS SITE. 
          UM, TRAVIS COUNTY IS THE ONE WHO WILL, UH, WHO WOULD REGULATE THE OSS F AND THEIR RULES STATE THAT IT CANNOT EXCEED 5,000 GALLONS PER DAY. 
          AND THIS SITE IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND 7,000 GALLONS PER DAY. 
          SO THIS IS AN VIABLE OPTION FOR THIS SITE. 
          SO THE OTHER ONE THAT THEY COULD HAVE AN OPTION TO DO IS A SUBSURFACE AREA. 
          DRIP DISPERSAL SYSTEM ALSO CALLED ASSADS PERMIT, WHICH IS REGULATED BY THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. 
          AND THIS WOULD REQUIRE ABOUT 1.91 ACRES FOR THEM TO PUT OUT FOR THEIR SUBSURFACE DISPERSAL FIELD ONSITE STORAGE AND AN ONSITE TREATMENT PLAN. 
          AND THAT ACREAGE THAT 1.9 ACRES WOULD BE DUCTED FROM BRIT, BE DEDUCTED FROM THE NET SITE AREA CALCULATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR IMPERVIOUS COVER LIMITS FOR THE SITE, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. 
          I MEAN, UM, HOW OUR, THIS IS REALLY NOT A PREFERRED OPTION FOR WATERSHED STAFF BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TREES AND LAND SERMONS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE LAND FOR THE, UH, SUBSURFACE DISPERSAL FIELD. 
          AND, UH, THAT WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE REQUIRED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO THIS REASON WE DON'T SUPPORT THIS ALTERNATIVE WASTEWATER, UM, OPTION. 
          SO OUR STAFF CONCLUDED THAT BASED ON THE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS AND THAT THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS TO EXTENDING SERVICE TO THE SITE THAT WE SUPPORT THIS SERVICE EXTENSION REQUEST. 
          AND, UM, I'M HAPPY 
          [00:35:01]
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. 
          WE ALSO HAVE STAFF FROM AUSTIN WATER HERE, AND, UH, MICHAEL WHELAN IS HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, SHALL WE LISTEN TO THE APPLICANT? OH, OH, I'M SORRY. 
          HELLO. 
          MY NAME IS DANNY MILLER AGAIN, UH, WITH LJ ENGINEERING REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT AND HERE'S MICHAEL WAYLAND. 
          UM, AGAIN, JUST TO ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE, UH, TO STAFF'S PRESENTATION, UH, RIGHT NOW THE, THE OWNER DOES NOT HAVE A DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROPOSED YET. 
          UH, THEY WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN OBTAIN WASTEWATER SERVICE BEFORE THEY START SUBMITTING DEVELOPMENT, DEVELOPMENT PLANS, ET CETERA. 
          UM, RIGHT NOW THE, THERE IS AN EXISTING USE ON THE PROPERTY. 
          IT'S REALLY JUST A ONE OR TWO MAN OFFICE BUILDING THAT'S IN A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. 
          UM, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY ON SEPTIC. 
          UH, SO THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY ONCE THEY DEVELOP, THAT WOULD BE REMOVED AND THEY WOULD BE PUT ON THE CENTRALIZED SYSTEM POINT TO UNDERSTAND IS BECAUSE THIS WILL BE A FORCE MAIN. 
          UM, THE, THE INTENT WOULD BE THAT, UH, I THINK AWS STAFF WOULD NEED TO CONFIRM THIS, BUT, UM, BECAUSE IT'S A FORCE MAIN, THERE'S REALLY NOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AND OTHER PROJECTS TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS LINE. 
          SO WHETHER THERE'S NOT A RISK OF, YOU KNOW, ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT BEING, BEING SPURRED BY THIS, UM, THE FORCE MAIN, I THINK IT'S A TWO INCH FORCE MAIN, SO IT'S A PRETTY SMALL FORCE MAIN, UH, WHICH IT'S REALLY THE MINIMUM SIZE THAT AWS ALLOWS FOR FORCE MAINS. 
          UH, OTHER THAN THAT, I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS LET'S SEE ON THE REMOTE ISDN? OKAY. 
          WHAT ABOUT THE PRESENT DIAS COMMISSIONER PRIMER? SO WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? THE PURPOSE OF THIS SCENE IS MAKE SURE I CAN GIVE IT A SHOT. 
          UH, SO WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE, UH, SITE AND WHAT WHAT'S, WHAT'S GOING TO BE THERE IN THE END, UH, WITH THE SCR, THE, THE OWNER WAS, IS PROPOSING ABOUT AN 80,000 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE, WHICH IS A LOW INTENSITY USE. 
          UH, DOESN'T, DOESN'T CREATE A LOT OF TRAFFIC, UM, 80,000 SQUARE FEET. 
          AND THE ANCILLARY PARKING AREA, UH, IS ABOUT ALL THE IMPERVIOUS COVER THAT THEY CAN PUT ON THE PROJECT BECAUSE OF, OF THE SOS REGULATIONS AND THE PURPOSE OF THE WAREHOUSE. 
          UH, NOPE, NO, NO SPECIFIC PURPOSE YET AGAIN, THEY'RE WANTING TO LOCK IN THEIR ABILITY TO OBTAIN WASTEWATER SERVICE BEFORE, BEFORE THEY START MARKETING THE PROJECT, SO TO SPEAK. 
          SO THEY DON'T HAVE AN END-USER YET. 
          IT PROBABLY, THE, MY GUESS WOULD BE THAT IT WOULD BE LIKE WAREHOUSE. 
          THEY WOULD LEASE TENANT, YOU KNOW, WAREHOUSE SPACE OUT OF THE BUILDING, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, SO IT'S YOUR, THE INTENTION IS TO GET THE PERMIT APPROVED AND THEN ONCE THAT'S APPROVED, THEN GO, UH, DEVELOP A SITE PLAN SUITABLE FOR THE, YOU KNOW, THE TERRAIN AND THE, THE, THE, WHATEVER IT IS, THE SITE AND ALL THAT OTHER KIND OF FUN STUFF, AND THE AMOUNT OF WATER AND WASTEWATER THAT YOU'RE DOING THERE, AND THEN GO OUT AND MARKET IT TO THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA THAT NEED WAREHOUSE SPACE FOR WHATEVER WAREHOUSE SPACE THEY NEED FOR. 
          SO IT'S REALLY UNDETERMINED IT'S AT THIS TIME. 
          YEAH. 
          I WOULD JUST SAY TWO THINGS. 
          ONE, A LIMITATION ON IMPERVIOUS COVER IS GOING TO BE A BIG ELEMENT IN TERMS OF WHAT CAN BE DONE THERE OBVIOUSLY. 
          AND, UH, THE, YOU KNOW, HAVING OUR SPACE OBVIOUSLY REDUCES SOME WAY IN TERMS OF TRIPS BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO GO AS FAR IF THERE IS SOME WAREHOUSE SPACE, AT LEAST IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA. 
          SO I THINK THOSE WOULD BE THE ONLY TWO THINGS I DIDN'T HAVE. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I GUESS THE REASON I'M ASKING IS, UM, ABOUT THE, THE NATURE OF THE WAREHOUSE IS THAT A LOT OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU STORE RUBBER DUCKIES OR, YOU KNOW, STUFF THAT'S RELATIVELY A KNOCK. 
          WAS THERE ANOTHER TIME 
          [00:40:01]
DO YOU STORE AND WAREHOUSE WITH OTHER THINGS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT LESS, YOU KNOW, MORE INNOCUOUS OR WHATEVER THE WORD IS NO MORE DANGEROUS AND EVERYTHING. 
          SO, UH, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE END USE RELATIVE TO ANY ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATIONS THAT MIGHT COME UP, YOU KNOW, AT A LATER DATE. 
          SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING WHAT THE END USE OF IT IS IF IT JUST, YOU KNOW, STACK PAPERS AND, AND, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT'S ONE THING, BUT IF YOU'RE STACKING, YOU KNOW, LIKE FORMIDABLE MATERIAL AND OTHER THINGS, THEN IT BECOMES MORE OF AN, I, YOU KNOW, A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PROBLEM COMMISSIONER BREMMER, IF I MIGHT JUST ADD THAT, JUST A REMINDER THAT, UH, THE SCR ARE NOT ULTIMATELY TIED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF YEAH. 
          AND SO WE CAN'T CONDITION THE YOUTH JUST ASKING HIM. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          THERE'S GOING TO BE NO, NO, I'M NOT ATTEMPTING TO, UH, ATTACH A CONDITION ON IT. 
          I'M JUST TRYING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? OH, FAIR BRISTOL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, SO I'VE TWO QUESTIONS. 
          UM, AND FIRST OFF I WANT TO ECHO, UM, COMMISSIONER REIMER'S, UM, SENTIMENT THAT IT IS HARD FOR US TO VOTE ON SOMETHING. 
          WE DON'T HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF EXACTLY WHAT THE END USE OF THIS PROPERTY IS. 
          AND SUPPLYING SUCH A HUGE FORCE WATER MAIN. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S A, THAT'S A, A FAIR AMOUNT OF WATER THAT'LL BE COMING THERE. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, IT IS OUR DUTY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE APPROVING SOMETHING THAT IS, IS, UM, THAT WE HAVE A GOOD IDEA WHAT'S GOING TO BE USED FOR. 
          SO, UM, THERE'S THAT PART NEXT TO THE PROPERTY? IT LOOKS LIKE, UH, THERE'S SOME, UH, AN ADDITIONAL LOT. 
          UM, ARE THERE PLANS, IS THAT ALSO PLANNING ON BEING PURCHASED OR BROUGHT INTO THE, UM, ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE, UH, VACANT TRACT THAT'S WEST OF THIS PROPERTY? SO IRONICALLY, UM, I WAS THE ENGINEER ON THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE NEXT DOOR AND THAT VACANT LAND IS PART OF THE LOT FOR THOSE APARTMENTS. 
          SO IT CANNOT BE DEVELOPED. 
          IT WOULD NOT BE DEVELOPED. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH MY ONLY QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THERE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC? OH, EXCUSE ME. 
          I'M GONNA START TO GET A, NO, THANK YOU. 
          I DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I ALSO CAN CARE WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER BRIMER ON THE CONCERNS REGARDING ANY KIND OF WAREHOUSING, INDUSTRIAL TYPE ISSUES THAT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THIS. 
          SO JUST, YEAH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER GAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          YES. 
          MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARINGS. 
          AND SECOND, SECOND. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NOW, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? WE DO JUNE 1ST, 2022, AUSTIN READY-MIX, UH, WASTEWATER SERVICE EXTENSION REQUEST NUMBER 5, 3 1 3. 
          WHEREAS ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING WASTEWATER SERVICE EXTENSION. 
          THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THAT THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE SLAUGHTER CREEK WATERSHED BARTON CREEK SPRINGS ZONE, EDWARDS AQUIFER, UH, CONTRIBUTING ZONE AND DRINKING WATER PROTECTION ZONE. 
          AND WHEREAS THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THAT THE STAFF RECOMMENDS THE WASTEWATER SERVICE EXTENSION. 
          THEREFORE THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOMMENDS, UM, THE REQUEST. 
          SECOND, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. 
          RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          ACTUALLY, WE DON'T HAVE A SECOND AND IF THERE'S NO SECOND, THEN IT FAILS. 
          OH, CORRECT. 
          OH, JUST SECOND. 
          IT, YOU SECOND IT, OKAY, GOT IT. 
          I THOUGHT YOU CALLED FOR A SECOND AND I DO, BUT THEN I JUST, LIKE, I JUST SAY IT, SORRY. 
          OH, YES. 
          ANY, ANY DISCUSSION? I JUST HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS IN THAT. 
          UH, THIS IS, UH, WE HAD 
          [00:45:01]
A CONSIDERABLE, UM, AMOUNT OF, UH, UH, PROTEST OVER A DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS ALSO, UH, POTENTIALLY SOMETHING THAT COULD IMPACT THE, UM, BARTON SPRINGS, UH, AQUIFER IN THERE. 
          UM, I, UM, I FEEL LIKE I'M VOTING A LITTLE BIT, UH, FOR, UH, UH, A PIG AND A POKE ON, ON THIS. 
          UM, I, UH, I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO, UM, SEE, UM, FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WE'RE, UM, WHAT WE'RE APPROVING BEFORE WE, BEFORE WE APPROVE IT, THAT'S JUST, UM, THAT'S IT JUST, UH, IT MAKES ME, UH, UM, I FEEL ANXIOUS. 
          KATIE, KATIE COHEN, ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICER, I JUST WANTED TO SAY, THIS IS SOMETHING I STRUGGLED WITH A LITTLE BIT WHEN I WAS ON ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION AND AN SCR REQUESTS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK HAS BEEN MISUSED IN THE PAST TO TRY TO REGULATE DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND WE'RE NOT VOTING ON A DEVELOPMENT TYPE RIGHT NOW. 
          WE'RE VOTING ON AN SCR REQUEST AND I KNOW IT'S BEEN USED AS PROXY FOR THAT, AND I CERTAINLY CAN UNDERSTAND Y'ALL'S CONCERNS, BUT I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE AND THAT, IN MY OPINION, IT'S, IT'S BEEN MISUSED IN THE, IN THE PAST. 
          OUR DENIALS OF SCRS HAVE BEEN MISUSED IN THE PAST IN THAT WAY. 
          THAT'S ALL. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION. 
          RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ALL THOSE AGAINST ABSTAIN ABSTAIN AND THREE ABSTENTIONS. 
          1, 2, 3, 4, OOPS. 
          I BELIEVE. 
          DO WE HAVE A MAJORITY VOTE FOR PASSING EMOTION? MOTION PASSES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA IS, UH, ITEM TWO, A ISLANDS FOR CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION. 
          AND IT'S A BRIEFING ON 5 1 7 LAMAR PUD DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          COMMISSIONERS. 
          I'M HEATHER CHAFFIN WITH THE HOUSING AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT. 
          THE CASE NUMBER, HEATHER. 
          I'M SORRY, COULD YOU HOLD FOR ONE MOMENT? I'M SORRY. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE WE ACTUALLY MISCOUNTED THAT VOTE AND THAT IT ACTUALLY FAILED BY. 
          WE ONLY HAD FIVE VOTES FOR I SIX FOR THE CONFUSION. 
          DO WE NEED TO COME THROUGH A ROLL CALL? WOULD THAT BE EASIER? YEP. 
          YEP. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          LET'S GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH A ROLL CALL TO MAKE SURE. 
          OKAY.

          IT PASSES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          [2a. Briefing on the 517 Lamar PUD Development Assessment—Heather Chaffin, Housing and Planning Department (30 minutes)]
THE NEXT STEP WE HAVE ITEM A, TO A, UH, ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION BRIEFING OF THE 5 1 7 LAMAR PUT DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT. 
          UH, GOOD EVENING. 
          EXCUSE ME. 
          HEATHER CHAFFIN WITH HOUSING AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT. 
          THE CASE NUMBER IS C D 2022 DASH ZERO TO THE ROOMS YOU WERE AT ONE. 
          THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT PREPARED IN, UH, TO, UH, BRIEF AHEAD OF A PUD SUBMITTAL. 
          THE PROPERTY IS FIVE 17 
          [00:50:01]
SOUTH LAMAR. 
          IT'S LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF BARTON SPRINGS ROAD AND SOUTH LAMAR BOULEVARD IN THE WESTFIELD IN CREEK WATERSHED. 
          I BELIEVE IT IS CURRENTLY THE BICYCLE SPORT SHOP. 
          UH, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE A 1.87 ACRE PROPERTY FROM C S V GENERAL COMMERCIAL SERVICES. 
          VERTICAL MIXED USED TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. 
          UH, CURRENTLY HAS COMMERCIAL LAND USES. 
          THERE IS A MEDICAL CLINIC AND RETAIL THEY'RE PROPOSING A NINE STORY BUILDING WITH APPROXIMATELY 400 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS, UH, ON THE GROUND FLOOR, APPROXIMATELY 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF MIXED COMMERCIAL. 
          AND THEN ALSO UNDERGROUND PARKING THE, UH, MODIFICATIONS PROPOSED WITH THE PUD, UH, THE FORCE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH ALL TIER ONE HAD DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. 
          THE PRIMARY, UH, SUPERIORITY ITEMS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS PROVIDING A MINIMUM OF 10% OF THE MULTIFAMILY UNITS FOR FAMILIES EARNING LESS THAN 60% OF MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME PLACING 95% OF PARKING IN SUBSURFACE PARKING, UH, REDUCING IMPERVIOUS COVER FROM WHAT'S CURRENTLY ON THE SITE BURYING THE OVERHEAD UTILITIES THAT RUN ALONG LAMAR BOULEVARD, IMPROVING LOCAL DRAINAGE CONDITIONS, UTILIZING GREEN WATER QUALITY CONTROLS, IMPROVED, UH, LANDSCAPING STANDARDS, RAINWATER IRRIGATION, THREE STAR GREEN BUILDING RATING, INCREASED BICYCLE PARKING AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THERE ARE TABLES ATTACHED WITH THIS, UH, REPORT HERE THAT SHOW THE CODE MODIFICATIONS AND THE PROPOSED, UH, IMPROVEMENT OR SUPERIORITY ITEMS. THE CODE MODIFICATIONS THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING IS TO ALLOW THE OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL ZONE BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND CLEAR ZONE TO INCREASE FROM A MAXIMUM OF 30 FEET TO 68 FEET TO ALLOW A BUILDING HEIGHT OF 102 FEET WAVE COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS IN RELATION TO BUILDING HEIGHT, MODIFY SCALE AND CLUSTERING REQUIREMENTS, AND ALLOW PET ZONING ON A SITE LESS THAN 10 ACRES. 
          AND I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE FOR PRESENTATION ALSO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO SPEAK, SORRY, FIRST TIME HERE. 
          HI PLUS. 
          OKAY. 
          MY NAME IS AMANDA MARA, AND I'M HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF ENDEAVOR REAL ESTATE, WHO HAS THE PROPERTY UNDER CONTRACT AND IS LOOKING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM CSB TO, UM, PUD ZONING. 
          UH, WE HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION, HEATHER KIND OF HIT ON ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS. 
          WE CAN RUN THROUGH IT REALLY QUICK JUST TO KIND OF SHOW YOU AN AERIAL OF THE SITE. 
          UM, AND SOME OF THE HUD EXHIBITS THAT WERE SUBMITTED, DO YOU DO OKAY. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WORKS. 
          THANKS. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN, THE SITE IS LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF BARTON SPRINGS AND LAMAR BOULEVARD. 
          AS HEATHER MENTIONED, IT IS A 1.87 ACRE SITE. 
          IT IS HOME TO THE BICYCLE SPORT SHOP, UM, WITH THE, UM, MED CLINIC THAT IS THERE. 
          IT CONSISTS OF ABOUT 99.6, SEVEN, 8% IMPERVIOUS COVER. 
          AND WE'RE PROPOSING TO REDUCE THAT DOWN TO 90%. 
          SO ALMOST A 10% REDUCTION AND IMPERVIOUS COVER OVER WHAT IS EXISTING THERE TODAY. 
          THERE ARE NO TREES ON THE PROPERTY. 
          IT'S REALLY JUST A SURFACE PARKING LOT AND A LARGE BUILDING, A RETAIL BUILDING. 
          UM, AND THEN WE'LL JUST FLIP TO THE NEXT IMAGE. 
          OKAY. 
          THIS IS JUST A ZONING MAP TO SHOW YOU THE EXISTING ZONING OF THE PROPERTY, UM, WHICH IS THE CSV. 
          AND THEN THE SURROUNDING ZONING. 
          ONE OF THE MODIFICATIONS, WHICH I KNOW IS NOT AN ENVIRONMENTAL RELATED MODIFICATION, BUT, UM, IS TO MODIFY THE COMPATIBILITY, UM, REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'RE GETTING PINCHED BY THE FOLKS THAT ARE ACROSS LAMAR BOULEVARD, WHICH IS A CORE TRANSIT CORRIDOR. 
          AND THEY ARE LOCATED UP ON THE BLUFF THERE BEHIND THE RETAIL STRIP CENTER THERE TO THE WEST OF LAMAR. 
          UH, YOU ALSO HAVE WHAT'S CALLED THE HIGH ROAD, UM, CLUB, WHICH IS ZONED, UM, SINGLE FAMILY USE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CIVIC USE, WHICH ALSO TRIGGERS COMPATIBILITY. 
          SO IT'S COMING FROM THE WEST AND COMING FROM THE EAST, THE PURPOSE OF THE PUD WAS ACTUALLY TO ALLOW FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WOULD BE THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE GROUND FLOOR RETAIL USES ON 
          [00:55:01]
THE BOTTOM. 
          UM, THERE IS A FLAW IN THE CODE, THE CODE DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE A ZONING DISTRICT THAT PROVIDES FOR, UM, HEIGHT OVER 60 FEET WITH MIXED USE. 
          YOU'VE REALLY LIMITED ON THE ZONING CATEGORIES YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM. 
          HERE'S A IMAGE OF WHAT IS THERE. 
          IT'S A SURVEY YOU CAN SEE UP THERE IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER. 
          IT'S BLUE THAT ACTUALLY HAS FLOOD PLAIN, AND IT IS THE, UM, CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE THAT AFFECTS THE SITE. 
          THE AREA IN QUESTION, THERE IS COMPLETELY 100% IMPERVIOUS COVER. 
          THERE IS NO GREENERY IN THAT AREA WHATSOEVER. 
          UM, BUT IT IS FLOOD PLAIN AND CRITICAL IN THAT LOCATION. 
          UM, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL ON THIS MAP, BUT THE BLUFF THAT IS LOCATED ACROSS LAMAR, UH, TO THE WEST IS A CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE. 
          AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A, UM, CF SETBACK THAT TOUCHES THE BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY, UM, ADJACENT TO LAMAR THERE, THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE. 
          THAT'S NOT ON OUR SITE, BUT IT'S TO THE EAST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND IT CREATES A BUFFER ZONE ON THE PROPERTY AS WELL, UM, WHICH WE'RE PROPOSING SOME MODIFICATIONS WITHIN THOSE AREAS TO ALLOW FOR ENHANCED SIDEWALKS ALONG LAMAR. 
          UM, ALSO ACCESS TO LAMAR CURB CUTS, UM, AND, UH, SOME BUILDING COLUMNS WILL BE LOCATED WITHIN THE AREA TO SUPPORT THE BUILDING FOUNDATION AND THEN ALSO WITHIN THE FLOOD PLAIN AREA AS WELL, AND SOME PAVERS AND, UM, SOME, UH, SUPPLEMENTAL ZONE FOR MAYBE LIKE A RETAIL USE THERE AT THAT NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE BUILDING, UH, SITTING IN THE EXISTING CF SETBACK TODAY IS AGAIN, IMPERVIOUS COVER DRIVE ISLES AND THE BUILDING ITSELF THERE ALONG THE BACK OF THE, UH, EAST PROPERTY LINE. 
          UH, SORRY, TRYING TO GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE HERE. 
          I'M PUSHING. 
          IT'S NOT GOING, OH, THERE WE GO. 
          UH, THIS IS THE CODE SECTIONS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO MODIFY. 
          WE'RE ONLY SEEKING TO MODIFY THREE ENVIRONMENTAL CODE SECTIONS, WHICH IS ENCROACHMENTS INTO THE FLOOD, PLAIN, THAT LITTLE BLUE AREA THAT WE JUST NOTED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER THERE, AGAIN, IT'S TO ASK FOR THE BUILDING COLUMNS, UM, AND SOME PAVERS WITHIN THAT AREA. 
          AND THEN ALSO, UH, WE'RE PROPOSING ENCROACHMENT WITHIN THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING TO REMOVE SOME OF THE IMPERVIOUS COVER WITHIN THAT AREA, BUT WE WOULD LIKE THE OPTION TO DO SOME PAVERS WITHIN THERE. 
          AND OBVIOUSLY AS WE GO THROUGH THE FORMAL PUD PROCESS, WE'LL VET THAT WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL STAFF AND SEE KIND OF WHERE WE MEET IN THE MIDDLE THERE. 
          AND THEN ALSO THE CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE, THE BUFFER ZONE WE'RE ASKING TO AS WELL. 
          AND THEN THIS IS JUST A QUICK HIGHLIGHT OF SOME OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPERIORITY ELEMENTS OF THE PROPERTY. 
          UM, WE CAN RUN THROUGH THOSE, BUT SOME OF THE HIGH HIGH POINTS ARE, UM, WE'RE PROPOSING TO PROVIDE 8,100 CUBIC FEET OF WATER QUALITY VOLUME, GREEN WATER QUALITY CONTROLS TO TREAT AT LEAST 50% OF THE, UM, WATER QUALITY VOLUME THERE ITSELF, UH, PROPOSING TO REMOVE IMPERVIOUS COVER WITHIN THE CRITICAL REDUCE IMPERVIOUS COVER BY ALMOST 10%, UM, DOING THREE INCH CALIBER STREET TREES, UM, KIND OF JUST GO DOWN THE LIST WITH THE 95% OF THE PARKING LOCATED UNDERGROUND THREE STAR, UM, GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS. 
          SO THERE'S JUST KIND OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. 
          AND OBVIOUSLY AS WE GO THROUGH THE FORMAL PROCESS, THERE'LL BE MORE THINGS THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH STAFF AND KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANT THINGS FOR THIS SITE FOR THEM. 
          I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ARE THERE ANY COMMIT, UH, QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? UH, CHAIR ROMBERG, LET, THANK YOU, PAUL. 
          I ALMOST CAUGHT IT. 
          I ALMOST, I ALMOST CAUGHT IT IN TIME. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          UH, UH, DO YOU, DO YOU GUYS, I GUESS A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT AND Y'ALL HAVE A, LIKE A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF, OF WHAT THE BUILDING OR THE SITE WOULD LOOK LIKE, UM, KIND OF THANK YOU FOR THE SLIDES THAT YOU DID SHOW, BUT IT'D BE HELPFUL FOR US TO KIND OF SEE WHERE THINGS WILL LAY OUT, UM, IN PARTICULAR RELATED TO THOSE CEF SETBACKS WITH A CRITICAL OR A QUALITY ZONE THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR US TO KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF KIND OF WHERE STUFF'S GOING TO LAY OUT ON THE SITE. 
          YEAH. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING ON REFINING, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. 
          UM, WE JUST, WE KNOW THAT WE WANT TO HAVE THE RETAIL ALONG LAMAR, UM, AND POTENTIALLY HAVING A RESTAURANT LOCATED CLOSE TO THAT NORTHWEST 
          [01:00:01]
CORNER. 
          UM, BUT STILL REFINING, BUT NO, UM, AT THIS TIME I DON'T HAVE THOSE WITH ME, UM, BUT WE WILL HAVE THOSE AND THAT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS. 
          PERFECT. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN, YEAH. 
          AND I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU GUYS COMING AND TALKING TO US AND STAFF PRESENTING THIS TO US SO WE CAN KIND OF START TO GET FAMILIAR WITH THESE PUBS BEFORE THEY COME BEFORE US, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR VOTES. 
          SO APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND DEFINITELY AS THAT STARTS TO BECOME A LITTLE MORE, UH, NARROWED DOWN INTO WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. 
          UM, IF Y'ALL COULD KIND OF KEEP US ABREAST WITH INFORMATION, THAT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          THAT'S ALL I GOT PARENT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER THOMPSON. 
          ARE WE JUST BEING APPRISED OF THEIR PROGRESS AND NOT ASKING FOR, THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR A VOTE ON PUDS STATUS OR RECOMMENDATION FOR THAT THIS EVENING? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES. 
          SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO US, PERHAPS I SHOULD JUST GO THROUGH MY LIST HERE, OR WOULD YOU RATHER ME EMAIL IT TO YOU OR WOULD EVERYBODY ELSE LIKE TO HEAR, OR WHAT THIS IS, THIS IS RAMBO. 
          I WOULD SAY GO AHEAD AND KIND OF WALK THROUGH THEM. 
          MAYBE EMAIL THEM TO KAYLA, BUT I THINK IT WOULD HELP THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS TO KIND OF HEAR YOUR CONCERNS AS WE'RE VETTING THROUGH THIS AS PART OF WHY THEY'RE COMING TO TALK TO US. 
          YEP. 
          AGREED. 
          THANKS. 
          UM, ALL RIGHT. 
          IF THIS GOES AWAY, IF THE, IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU WANT TO SELL THE PROPERTY, SO THE PEDS STATUS GOES WITH THE TITLE AND ALL OF THE WILLS AND MAYS IN HERE, UM, DO THEY BECOME SHELLS AT SOME POINT BECAUSE, UM, THEORETICALLY I WOULD REALLY LIKE, I WOULD FEEL BETTER KNOWING THAT YOU DO PROMISE TO DO THESE THINGS. 
          THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSPORTATION NOT KNOWING WHERE THE DRIVEWAYS ARE, THE TRANSPORTATION IS A LARGE, UH, CHUNK OF LAND FOR DRIVEWAYS. 
          SO ALL OF THESE OTHER PROMISES YOU'VE MADE TO US ABOUT, UM, UH, OTHER THINGS, UH, FACILITIES AND SUCH LIKE COULD GO AWAY DEPENDING UPON WHAT THEIR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT REQUIRES OF YOU FOR ENTRANCE AND EXIT. 
          UM, IT'S LESS THAN 10 ACRES OF LAND. 
          SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, UM, ARE THE PERCENTAGES PROPORTIONAL TO THE ADJUSTED SIZE OF THE TRACT? SO I'D ALSO LIKE FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN THE SUPPLEMENTAL ZONE A LITTLE MORE AND THE HEIGHT AND SETBACK DO NOT APPLY. 
          SO WHAT LIMIT ON THE HEIGHT IS IN THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND WILL THE CORRIDOR RESTRICTIONS MAKE SETBACKS CONTIGUOUS WITH ADJACENT PROPERTIES. 
          SO, UM, IS YOUR NINE STORIES SET IN STONE? AND, UM, I'M KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT THE COMPENSATION FOR THE FLOODPLAIN VOLUME. 
          YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IMPROVING TO ASK FOR PEDS STATUS. 
          SO IF WE RECOMMEND YOU, UM, WE HAVE REGIONAL PLANS AND SUCH LIKE, UM, THE EXISTING CONDITIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IMPROVED TO BE GRANTED A PEDS STATUS. 
          SO, UM, TIER ONE AND TIER TWO, UM, YOU SAY IT ENCOURAGES THE PROVISION OF ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES, BUT I, I DON'T FEEL ENCOURAGED BY THAT LANGUAGE. 
          I WOULD WANT SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC AND OPEN SPACE AND THE PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTIAL AND NON RESIDENTIAL, THE COMMERCIAL, ET CETERA, FOR THE URBAN AREA, WHAT PUBLIC BENEFITS ARE PROMISE THAT CAN'T BE RENEGOTIATED BY THE TRANSPORTATION AND CORRIDOR RESTRICTIONS. 
          UM, I'M ESPECIALLY CONCERNED WITH YOU SAY AT ONE POINT THAT, UM, PATRONS OF THE PROJECT WILL HAVE BIKE PARKING AND IT STILL TAKES AWAY 23 PUBLIC BIKE PARKING SPACES THAT ARE THERE. 
          AND YET WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CORRIDOR WILL REQUIRE. 
          AND I, I, THAT THAT'S CONCERNING. 
          UM, LET'S SEE, THE BUILDING HEIGHT IS NOT SET WITHOUT THE SITE PLANS. 
          SO, UM, YOU ASKED THAT TO BE WAIVED AND I'M, I DON'T, I MAYBE THERE ISN'T A NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN THERE, BUT I WOULD LIKE SOME MORE SPECIFICS ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, THE ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION, UM, THE ONLY, UM, THERE IS 
          [01:05:01]
ONE ELEMENT OF A CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR PAVERS AND SUCH LIKE, SO I THINK THAT'S IMPROVING THE DRAINAGE TO THE LOWEST CRITERIA AND NOT REALLY MEETING PUD STANDARDS STATUS. 
          SO I THINK, UM, LET'S SEE THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUE, I GUESS, IS THE MAIN THING. 
          AND I THINK ALSO THE LANGUAGE, WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE PROPOSING TO THE MINIMUM OF 8,100 FEET OF CUBIC FEET OF WATER SHELL, I WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE IF YOU'D COME BACK WITH A BUNCH OF SHELLS INSTEAD OF WELL, OR PERHAPS, OR ENCOURAGE AND SO FORTH. 
          BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOU, UH, COMING FORWARD WITH, UM, THESE THINGS. 
          SO I THINK THE ONE OTHER THING LET'S SEE IS THE COMMERCIAL DESIGN STANDARDS, UH, WILL COMPLY EXCEPT AS MODIFIED BY THE PUD. 
          SO I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO DEFINE YOUR EXCEPTIONS AND, UM, STREET SECTION WILL BE ENHANCED TO MEET THE INTENT OF SOUTH LAMAR BOULEVARD CORRIDOR PLAN, AND THAT LANGUAGE JUST, I MEAN, TO MEET THE INTENT, YOU REALLY HAVE TO COMPLY. 
          AND SO I THINK YOU HAVE TO COMPLY WITH A LOT OF THESE THINGS IN YOUR PLAN FOR US TO FEEL, UM, COMFORTABLE IN GIVING YOU PAD STATUS HERE. 
          ALTHOUGH WE ARE VERY THANKFUL FOR THE NUMBER OF AFFORDABLE UNITS THAT YOU ARE PROPOSING. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. 
          IF WE COULD JUST GET A COPY, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DEFINITELY PREPARED WHEN WE COME BACK TO PRESENT WHEN WE'RE IN FOR FORMAL REVIEW AND THOSE MAYS AND KENS AND MAYBES WILL TURN INTO SHELLS ACCORDING TO YOUR LAW DEPARTMENT. 
          I'M SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANKS SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY MORE QUESTIONS ARE COMING, SIR? PRIMER? YEAH, I, UH, SHARE MANY OF, UH, COMMISSIONER THOMPSON'S CONCERNS. 
          UH, I'M GOING TO BRING UP THE, UH, THE FLOODPLAIN THERE. 
          UH, AS ONE EXAMPLE, I MENTIONED THE TERM PAVERS, UH, I PAVERS OF MY FRONT GUARD AND THEY'RE THIS BIG, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY PAVER. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, TO ME, WHEN YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, A FLOODPLAIN AREA, THE IDEA IS YOU DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN COVER IT UP AND ENCOURAGE MORE FLOODING. 
          SO I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. 
          UH, YOU MENTIONED OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WAIVERS ON AROUND CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES, SETBACKS, AND, AND YOU MENTIONED THREE OR FOUR THINGS THAT FALL INTO THAT GENERAL CATEGORY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WAIVERS AGAIN, GETTING BACK TO THE PUD, UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU ISSUE UP A PUD THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU A BLANK CHECK AND, UH, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE CHECK FILLED IN BEFORE WE HAND IT OVER TO YOU. 
          UH, MUCH LIKE, UH, COMMISSIONER THOMPSON MENTIONED, UH, YOU KNOW, ALL THE MAYBES WILL MAKE BEST EFFORTS AND ALL, THAT'S NICE THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE ALL THOSE BE SHOWERS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, YOU REFERENCED BACK THERE, NO TREES ON THE PROPERTY NOW, CAUSE IT'S BASICALLY JUST A BIG PARKING LOT. 
          I'D BE INTERESTED IN UNDERSTANDING IF YOU'RE GOING TO, UH, TRY TO REMEDY THAT SITUATION BY, UH, DOING ANY SORTS OF, UH, LANDSCAPING BY PLANTING TREES OR, UH, DO ANYTHING TO PROMOTE, UH, SHADE AND THAT SORT OF THING. 
          THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT IN A BROAD SENSE, UH, REDUCING THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT, YOU KNOW, IT BROUGHT US BEAUTIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE, YOU KNOW, A MORE ENTICING AREA RATHER THAN JUST ANOTHER SKYSCRAPER IN DOWNTOWN AUSTIN. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER THOMPSON ALSO MENTIONED ROADWAY PLANNING. 
          UH, THAT'S A VERY HIGHLY CONGESTED AREA ANYWAY, AND IT'D BE NICE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO TO MITIGATE THAT. 
          UH, I'M CURIOUS ABOUT HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FOR EACH, UH, UNIT. 
          UH, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, 75 SINGLE FAMILY, YOU KNOW, ONE BEDROOM APARTMENTS, ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE 75 PARKING SPOTS AND YOU HAVE A HUNDRED, YOU'VE GOT COMMERCIAL FACILITIES IN THERE. 
          WHAT'S WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THAT? YOU KNOW, ARE YOU GOING TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE BY HAVING, YOU KNOW, TO NOT HAVE CARS BY, LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A CAPACITY OF 500 PEOPLE TO RESIDE IN THE BUILDING, OR, AND LIKE, MAYBE YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE 200 PARKING SPOTS BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE MASS TRANSIT OR BICYCLES 
          [01:10:01]
OR WHATEVER IT IS. 
          SO UNDERSTANDING THAT AND REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IN DOWNTOWN WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, INTERESTING TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU'RE GOING TO HELP MANAGE THAT ASPECT OF IT BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT, UH, THINGS LIKE, UH, URBAN, URBAN POLLUTION, AIR POLLUTION, UH, NOISE ABATEMENT, AND THAT SORT OF THING AS WELL. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE ANY SORT OF, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, W WHAT'S YOUR PLAN FOR REDUCING SOLID WASTE? ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, RECYCLING BINS, ALL THAT OTHER SORT OF FUN STUFF, COMPOSTING, NOT ALL APARTMENT COMPLEXES DO. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE POINTS THAT I WOULD MAKE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ADDRESSED BEFORE WE SPEAK AGAIN WITH NO. 
          SO THAT'S IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, I'M JUST GOING TO GET ALL, EVERYTHING GLUTTON THAT THEY'VE PREVIOUSLY BEEN BROUGHT UP. 
          I TOO HAVE CONCERNS REGARDING THE PAVERS AND ALSO OUTDOOR SEATING. 
          SO I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT, I'M NOT SURE HOW, WHEN THERE'S FLOODING OUT THAT OCCURS, UM, BUT IF ANY OF THOSE PAPERS OR ANYTHING BE WASHED UP OR THAT BEING PART OF ANY EROSION PROBLEM OR RUN UP PROBLEM. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE WHAT I WOULD BE CONCERNED AS WELL, SO. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, SECRETARY BRISTOL. 
          I'M JUST GOING TO ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. 
          I MEAN, HOW WILL THIS AFFECT PETER PAN GOLF? WELL, HOPEFULLY NOT AT ALL. 
          UM, NO, I, I ALSO WANT TO, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S TWO THINGS I WANT TO DRESS, AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE GOING TO BRING THIS BACK, UM, WITH, WITH, UM, IMPROVEMENTS, BUT THAT, UM, THAT AREA REALLY DOES FLOOD AND WHEN IT DOES, IT GOES CRAZY. 
          AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE TOP OF THE LINE, UM, YOU KNOW, MITIGATION AROUND THAT, UM, TO REALLY NOT JUST HELP IT, REDUCE IT FOR YOUR PROPERTY, BUT ALSO YOUR SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. 
          WE'RE ON YOU. 
          UM, I DON'T SEE IN HERE, I'M SURE THAT YOU HAVEN'T, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BUILDING'S GOING TO BE NECESSARILY CONSTRUCTED OUT OF. 
          UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING IN HERE ABOUT, UM, A BIRD FRIENDLY GLASS, UM, ON THAT. 
          UM, AND I THINK THAT WAS THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD. 
          IT SOUNDS LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, THOMPSON AND BRIMER AND AGORA DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH ANSWERING, UH, ASKING SOME OTHER QUESTIONS. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, COMMISSIONER SCOTT. 
          I JUST WANT TO ECHO THE OTHER CON UH, THE CONCERNS THAT OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE BROUGHT UP. 
          I ALSO, UH, JUST QUESTION BUILDING IN A, IN A FLOOD PLAIN. 
          AND IS THAT, IS THAT A GOOD IDEA? SHOULD THAT, SHOULD THE, THE, UH, BUILDING FOOTPRINT BE REDUCED IN SIZE OR SHOULD THAT BE LOOKED AT IN, IN SOME OTHER WAY? UH, SO THAT IT'S NOT A FUTURE DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN? UH I'M I'M JUST, UH, SORT OF JUST QUESTIONS IN MY MIND. 
          I MEAN, I MET, I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS FURTHER AND SEE WHAT YOU COME BACK WITH TAKE YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I DO HAVE A QUESTION. 
          WELL, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO HEAR, UM, A LITTLE MORE FROM, IN THE FUTURE FROM NEIGHBORS. 
          AND, UM, ADDITIONALLY I, WITH THE CONCERNS FOR FLOODING WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION TO THE RESIDENTS IF, IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN. 
          OKAY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          YEAH. 
          WE'VE REACHED OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS THAT ARE IN THE AREA AND WE'RE ON THEIR CALENDARS, SO THEY'RE AWARE OF IT AND WE'LL ACTIVELY STAY ENGAGED WITH THEM AND WE'LL HAVE ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS AND REFINE THIS MUCH BETTER AS IT MOVES FORWARD THROUGH THE PROCESS AND STAFF WILL HELP US WITH THAT. 
          SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANKS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S OKAY. 
          UH, EXCUSE ME. 
          NEXT UP ON THE 
          [3a. Consider a proposed annexation of approximately 5.03 acres into Travis County Water Control and Improvement District No. 10, C12M-2022-0001—Andrei Lubomudrov, Housing and Planning Department (30 minutes)]
PUBLIC HEARINGS IS ITEM THREE, A, UM, CONSIDER A PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 5.03 ACRES INTO TRAVIS COUNTY WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. 
          NUMBER 10, I BELIEVE WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR THIS ALL RIGHT. 
          GOOD, GOOD EVENING. 
          MEMBERS OF THE, THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          MY NAME IS ANDRE  I'M WITH THE HOUSING AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT, 
          [01:15:01]
AND I'M HERE TO PRESENT THIS CASE FOR A PROPOSED ANNEXATION INTO WCID OR, UM, TRAVIS COUNTY WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. 
          NUMBER 10. 
          UM, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THE, THE REQUEST, UH, UNDER CONSIDERATION IS TO, UH, PROVIDE CONSENT TO ANNEXATION OF, UH, ONE PROPERTY TOTALING ABOUT A LITTLE OVER FIVE ACRES, JUST ABOUT FIVE ACRES INTO WCID 10. 
          AND I WANTED TO CLARIFY A LITTLE, THE CURRENT AREA THAT THAT IS UNDER CONSIDERATION IS A LITTLE OVER 10 ACRES. 
          AND THERE ARE TWO, TWO LOTS THAT MAKE UP THAT 10 ACRE AREA. 
          ONE OF THE LOTS IS BY FAR THE MAJORITY OF THE SITE. 
          I THINK IT'S PROBABLY, I THINK IT'S EIGHT OR NINE OF THOSE ACRES AND THEN THE OTHER LOT IS MUCH SMALLER. 
          AND SO WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING HERE IS, IS, IS SUBDIVIDING, UM, CHANGING THE LINES ON THOSE LOTS TO, TO BE, TO HAVE TWO LOTS THAT ARE MORE EQUAL IN SIZE. 
          AND ONE OF THOSE LOTS WOULD THEN BE SERVED BY WCID 10. 
          AND SO THAT'S THE FIVE ACRES THAT YOU'LL SEE THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION. 
          I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY, BECAUSE IN A COUPLE OF, YOU MIGHT THINK THAT IT'S KIND OF ONE PROPERTY, UM, UNDER CONSIDERATION, BUT IT'S REALLY KIND OF TWO THAT WILL BE SPLIT UP, BUT ONLY ONE TO BE ANNEXED, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UH, JUST TAKE THAT NEXT. 
          YEAH, NEXT SLIDE. 
          UM, JUST TO GO OVER THE REVIEW PROCESS, WHEN, WHEN WE REVIEW THESE TYPES OF ANNEXATION REQUESTS INTO WATER DISTRICTS, UH, WE LOOK AT THE IMPACT ON POTENTIAL FUTURE ANNEXATION. 
          WE LOOKED AT, WE LOOKED AT LAND USE IMPACTS. 
          WE LOOK AT AUSTIN WATER'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE SITE. 
          UM, AND THEN WE LOOK AT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS CONTEXT OF ANY AGREEMENTS THAT THOSE DISTRICTS HAVE WITH THE CITY. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO LOOK AT WHETHER THE ANNEXATION WOULD INDUCE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE DRINKING WATER PROTECTION ZONE IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY BEYOND WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE OCCUR NEXT, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          UH, SO I, I KIND OF GAVE A LITTLE BIT OF THE OVERVIEW EARLIER, BUT, UM, JUST TO, JUST TO KIND OF BOIL IT DOWN, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THE ANNEX, APPROXIMATELY FIVE ACRES INTO 10, ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THAT FIVE ACRES IS NOW CURRENTLY SERVED BY WCID 10, THAT WOULD ALLOW THAT AREA TO DO THE PLAN WOULD BE TO DEVELOP INTO TWO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 
          ONE THAT WOULD BE SERVED BY WCID 10 AND ONE THAT WOULD BE SERVED BY AUSTIN WATER. 
          UM, AND IT'D BE ROUGHLY ABOUT FIVE ACRES, EACH THOSE, THOSE LOFTS. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          UH, SO TO GET INTO THE TRACK, TO LOOK ON THE LOCATION, UM, IT'S UP 45, 43 1 5 DUNNING LANE. 
          UH, IT'S RIGHT ON THE BORDER OF THE LAKE AUSTIN AND THE BEACH CREEK, BUT IT IS ON THE LAKE AUSTIN SIDE. 
          UH, THE LAKE AUSTIN WATERSHED SIDE OF ABOUT NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          HERE'S HERE'S THE SUB SUBJECT ACT, GET SCOTT, UM, HAVE A LONG NARROW ACCESS POINT TO THE MUCH LARGER TRACT. 
          AND THAT THAT TRACT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IN THAT SLIDE IS THE WHOLE, UH, 10 OR 11 ACRE TRACT. 
          THAT IS, THAT IS COMPRISED OF TWO DIFFERENT PROPERTIES. 
          THE BIG ONE AND THE SMALL ONE. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          AND THEN HERE'S KIND OF THE, THIS IS THE SUBDIVISION THAT, THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED, UM, A LITTLE MARKED UP TO TRY TO MAKE THINGS A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR, BUT THE LOT ON THE RIGHT THAT'S THAT 5.03, FOUR ACRE LOT. 
          THIS IS, UM, ONCE THE SUBDIVISION IS APPROVED OR IF IT, IF, AND WHEN IT, THE SUBDIVISION IS APPROVED, THEN THAT LOT ON THE RIGHT WOULD BE SERVED BY WCID 10 AND THE OTHER LOT WOULD BE THE AUSTIN WATER LOT. 
          UH, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          HERE'S A AERIAL VIEW WHERE YOU CAN EAT THE, THERE IS A CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE, A SPRING THAT WAS LOCATED ON THE SITE, UH, THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE LARGER AREA THAT THAT IS PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION. 
          [01:20:01]
NEXT SLIDE. 
          I THINK THE NEXT ONE IS A, YEAH, THERE WE GO. 
          THERE'S THE, IT'S A, IT'S A VERY HILLY SLOPEY SITE, LOT OF REALLY STEEP LINES AND ON THE SIDE AND, AND THERE, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW THE DRAINAGE WORKS IN THIS CASE. 
          UM, SOUTHERN KIND OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PART OF THE LOT. 
          THAT'S WHERE THAT, THAT SPRING WAS, THAT THAT WAS INDICATED ON THE SLIDE. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO JUST TO KIND OF RECAP, UH, ANNEXATION OF THE TRACT WOULD NOT AFFECT ANNOTATION PLANS AND, UM, AND STAFF DOES NOT ANTICIPATE ANY NEGATIVE LAND USE IMPACTS ON GATES AND PROPERTY. 
          UH, AUSTIN WATER WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE PROPERTY THAT IT WOULD BE ANNEXED INTO THE, INTO THE WATER DISTRICT. 
          AND THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS WILL FOLLOW THE SAME RULES AND PROCESSES CURRENTLY IN EFFECT. 
          SO IN OTHER WORDS, UH, THE, THE ANNEXATION INTO WCID 10 WILL NOT AFFECT THE REVIEW, UH, RULES, REGULATIONS, AND PROCESSES THAT APPLY TO THIS SITE. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S THE LAST SLIDE, BUT NOPE, NOPE. 
          ONE MORE. 
          UH, SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING CONSENTING TO THIS ANNEXATION INTO THE, TO THE DISTRICT AND WE ASKED THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON THE REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I THINK WE DO HAVE A, UM, A PRESENT ANOTHER PRESENTATION. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? UM, COMMISSIONER SCOTT IT'S WITH ASLEEP, STEEP SLOPE, AS IT IS. 
          UM, WHAT IS THAT, THAT WATERWAY THAT YOU SEE, IT'S A BOTTOM GOING THROUGH? UM, I, IT'S NOT NAMED, I'M WONDERING WHAT THAT IS, SIR, SIR. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          THERE'S A BUTTON YOU NEED TO PUSH, SO YEAH, THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S THE WHOLE NIGHT. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          UM, IT'S A, JUST A SMALL RAVINE THAT GOES DOWN INTO LAKE AUSTIN AND, AND I WILL SAY THAT, UH, MY UNDERSTANDING TO NO HOME WAS PLANNED YET, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT STEEPNESS, ALL THE HOMES ARE GOING TO BE WAY UP THE HILL AWAY FROM ALL OF THAT WITH, WITH THE, UH, WITH THE STEEPNESS OF THE SLOPE. 
          UM, HOW DO YOU DEVELOP A PROPERTY WITHOUT HAVING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT? THAT'S THE BOTTOM OF THE SLOPE? UM, IF YOU COULD JUST ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. 
          UH, NOT TOTALLY SURE WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THAT. 
          I MEAN, IT'LL PUT UP EROSION CONTROLS. 
          THE, UM, SO THERE'S TWO LOTS. 
          NOW. 
          ONE OF THEM IS REALLY SMALL AND THAT ACTUALLY IN OUR MIND AND THE OWNER'S MIND WAS THE GREATER IMPACT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PACK UP THAT LOT OR SOMEBODY WOULD POTENTIALLY, SO THIS WAS TO BALANCE IT, GIVE MORE ROOM FOR, THEY CAN MISS TREES AND MISS IF THERE'S PARTICULAR SLOPES THAT ARE DROP-OFF, THEY CAN MISS THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 
          UM, THE BLOT IS ABOUT TO BE, WE'RE HOPING TO GET ANNEXED INTO THE WATER DISTRICT AS IT CAN ONLY BE SHARED BY THE WATER DISTRICT. 
          UM, THEY'RE ENTERING AT THE TOP, WHICH WOULD HELP BECAUSE THEN THEY KIND OF HEAR FROM THE TOP AND EVERYTHING CAN JUST KIND OF LOAD FROM THE TOP. 
          THE OTHER ONE THAT IS GOING TO BE MORE DIFFICULT. 
          BUT, UM, WHAT I EXPECT, OF COURSE, NOTHING HAS BEEN DESIGNED YET IS THAT THIS WILL ALLOW THEM, UH, TO GO KIND OF ACROSS THE COUNTER. 
          SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO DIG A BIG DITCH OR DO THE BIG FILL AND KIND OF GO ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND GET UP TO A BUILT, HOPEFULLY THERE'S SOME PLAY THING, BUT, UM, YEAH, THAT HELP COMING SOON. 
          PRIMARY. 
          YEAH. 
          I, IT'S NOT CLEAR. 
          I HEARD YOU JUST SAY THAT ONE OF THE LOTS CAN NOT BE SERVED BY AUSTIN WATERS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          [01:25:01]
ONE OF THEM RIGHT NOW THAT THERE'S A SMALL ONE. 
          IF YOU REMEMBER THAT ONE EXHIBIT. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, IT'S IT FRONT. 
          SHE, TO BE SERVED BY WHOEVER YOU HAVE TO HAVE FRONTAGE THERE ON A PO ON THE PUBLIC ROAD. 
          SO THE ONE LITTLE ONE HAD A FLAG OUT TO WHAT'S CALLED WILD WIND AND THAT'S DISTRICT 10. 
          SO THAT LITTLE ONE RIGHT NOW IS SERVED BY DISTRICT 10. 
          AND THE BIGGER ONE IS BY AUSTIN WATER UTILITY. 
          SO ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR US TO, TO MOVE THE LOT LINE AND BALANCE THE LOTS, UH, THAT WE'RE MOVING AREA THAT NOW IS IN AUSTIN WATER UTILITY, UM, ON A LOT THAT IT HAS TO BE SERVED BY THE WATER, JUST A WATER DISTRICT 10. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT LOT, THE ANNEXATION LINE MOVED TO MATCH UP WITH THAT PLOT. 
          IF THAT MAKES SENSE, IT'LL STILL BE SO LITTLE LOT, WHICH IS CURRENTLY SERVED BY DISTRICT IN, WELL NOW BE MORE BALANCED, THE BIGGER LOT. 
          HE'S STILL SERVED BY DISTRICT 10. 
          SO THE CITY CAN'T RUN A WATER PIPE FROM WHEREVER IT IS ACROSS ALL THE KEPT TO THE SMALLER LOT. 
          CORRECT. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN THE REASON FOR THAT MIGHT BE IN THE PLUMBING CODE THEY'RE HOSTILE OR UTILITY, VERY STRONG AGAINST YOU DO NOT PUT A PRIVATE LINE ON, UH, YOU, YOU DON'T CROSS ONE GUY'S PROPERTY TO GET TO ANOTHER GUY'S PROPERTY WITH A PRIVATE LINE IN WATER DISTRICT 10 ALREADY HAS THAT A LOT. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, SECRETARY OF BRISTOL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, SO THIS WOULD BE TWO HOMES. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? OR IS IT MULTIPLE HOMES THAT WOULD GO ON THERE? OKAY. 
          AND SO, UM, SO THEN IS THIS AN EXTENSION OF THE ROAD HERE? UM, DUNNING LANE. 
          IS THAT WHAT IT'S CALLED THE TURNING LANE YET? NO. 
          THE, UM, THESE, UH, WHOEVER DID IT BACK IN THE DAY TO HAVE FRONTAGE, THEY MADE THESE FLAGS IT'S, IT'S BASICALLY JUST A LONG FLAG, LIKE A FLAG LOT. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO THEN THE, THE HOMES AND WOULD BE UP ON THE RIDGE. 
          UM, AND I ASSUME THAT THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A LONG DRIVEWAY OR, OR A ROAD EXTENDING KIND OF ALONG THE RIDGE TO, TO REACH THE, WHERE THE HOUSES ARE. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? W ONE OF THEM, YES. 
          UM, THAT THAT'S THE CASE NOW. 
          UH, AND THERE'S A DRIVEWAY, THERE'S SOME OTHER LIGHTS THAT COME OFF OF THAT FLAG AND I ALREADY KIND OF HAVE A JOINT USE DRIVEWAY COMING UP. 
          A LOT OF THAT FLAG, MAYBE EVEN MOST OF THE FLAG. 
          AND YET THEN THAT FOR ONE LIGHT, THEY WOULD EXTEND FROM THERE FOR THEIR HOUSE. 
          THE OTHER ONE THOUGH, THE STAY UP TOP OF A WHIRLWIND. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS OFF, OFF WILD ONE. 
          IT DOESN'T REALLY SHOW IT HERE, SO YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, ONE OF THEM WILL, THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO HOPEFULLY BE ANNEXED INTO THE DISTRICT CAN, IS THE ONE. 
          YEAH. 
          THEY'LL HAVE ACCESS OFF WHILE WIND. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S WHAT I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT WAS HOW THEY BOTH WERE GETTING IT ACCESS FROM THIS ONE. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? DO YOU HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? MAYBE BY BRIMER SECOND THEN BY GIVING ALL DOESN'T FAVOR. 
          OKAY. 
          DO WE HAVE A MOTION? WE DO OUR SILENT PARTNERS OVER THERE. 
          SO JUNE 1ST, 2022, UM, PROPOSED ANNEXATION AND APPROXIMATELY 5.03 ACRES INTO TRAVIS COUNTY, WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 10, C 12 M DASH 2 0 2 2 DASH 0 0 0 1. 
          UH, WHEREAS ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZED THE ANNEXATION INTO JUST INTO THE DISTRICT WILL NOT AFFECT THE CITY OF AUSTIN'S ANNEXATION PLANS. 
          AND STAFF DOES NOT ANTICIPATE ANY NEGATIVE LAND USE IMPACTS OR ADJACENT PROPERTY ON ADJACENT PROPERTY, THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION, WHEREAS THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THE STAFF FINDS THAT DIRECT WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE IS NOT FEASIBLE GIVEN THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY IN RELATION TO THE AUSTIN WATER SYSTEM WITH WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES, APPROXIMATELY 1.2, FIVE MILES AWAY FROM THE SITE. 
          AND WHEREAS ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THAT THE REGULATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT WILL FOLLOW THE SAME RULES AND PROCESSES CURRENTLY IN EFFECT, IF THE DISTRICT ANNEXES ATTRACT, THEREFORE THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOMMENDS CONSENT TO, UM, TO THE PROPOSED ANNOTATION OF THE 4.42 ACRE TRACT INTO TRAVIS COUNTY, WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT 
          [01:30:01]
DISTRICT. 
          NUMBER 10, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND, SECOND. 
          AND BY SHIRA, ARE THOSE IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S UNANIMOUS MOTION PASSES. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          [3c. Name: 8020 Parmer Lane SH 130 NW, C8J-2021-0141.0A]
NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM THREE C 8 0 2 0 PARMER LANE, S H 1 3 0 NORTHWEST C EIGHT, J DASH 2 0 2 1 0 1 4 1 PERIODS ZERO EIGHT. 
          THAT'S A TONGUE CLUNG TOGETHER. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, APPLICANT IS PAID DAWSON ENGINEERS, UH, TRAVIS MOLTZ AND WE HAVE A STAFF PRESENTATION, I BELIEVE OH, HEY, CAN YOU STILL HEAR ME? THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO THIS PRESENTATION IS GOING TO BE CO PRESENTED BY ME, PAMELA 80 TALI OF DEVELOP DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND MIRANDA REINHARDT, WHO WAS THERE IN PERSON, UH, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS, SENIOR WITH A WATERSHED PROTECTION DEPARTMENT. 
          THEY SEE THESE VARIANCES ARE FOR AN 80 20 PARMER LANE, UH, ON, UH, STATE HIGHWAY, I'M SORRY, 80 20 FARMER LANE. 
          THAT'S THE NAME OF IT IS 80 20 PARMER LANE AND STATE HIGHWAY ONE 30 NORTHWEST. 
          THE ADDRESS IS 81 0 6 EAST PARMER LANE. 
          THE CASE NUMBER  20 21 0 1 4 ONE.ZERO. 
          A NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THE SITE IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF TOWN BEAR. 
          UH, AS I MENTIONED, IT HAS THE TITLE INTIMATES, UM, AT THE CORNER OF PARMER AND STATE HIGHWAY ONE 30 NEXT CYPRUS. 
          THE, UM, SITE IS LOCATED IN GILMAN CREEK AND HARRIS BRANCH CREEK WATERSHEDS, WHICH ARE BOTH CLASSIFIED AS SUBURBAN WATERSHEDS IN THE DESIRED DEVELOPMENT ZONE. 
          THE SITE IS IN THE EXTRA TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION IN TRAVIS COUNTY. 
          AND BECAUSE IT'S IN THE ETJ DOES NOT HAVE COUNCIL DISTRICT REPRESENTATION. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THE SITE HAS MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES. 
          IT HAS TWO CREEKS RUNNING THROUGH IT, ONE AT THE NORTH AND ONE AT THE SOUTH, WHICH BOTH HAVE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONES. 
          IT HAS MO UH, WETLANDS, WHICH ALL HAVE SETBACKS AND IT HAS FLOODPLAIN THERE ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH ENDS. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THE STATE SITE CONSTRAINTS ARE DUE TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES, UM, ADJACENT TO PARMER LANE. 
          THE ONLY ALLOWABLE SITE ACCESS IS FROM PARMER LANE. 
          AND SO A DRIVEWAY AT THIS LOCATION HAS TO CROSS ALL OF THESE THINGS, THE CRITICAL, UH, CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE BUFFER FOR THE CREEK, THE WETLANDS AND THEIR WETLAND SETBACKS AND THE FLOOD PLAIN. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THE VARIANCE REQUESTS ARE TO ALLOW, FILL OVER FOUR FEET TO 15 FEET TO BUILD A BRIDGE, TO CROSS THESE FEATURES. 
          AND THEN THE VARIANCE WHICH MY COLLEAGUE MIRANDA REINHARDT WILL PRESENT IS TO ALLOW FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITIES. 
          AND NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, THE FIRST VARIANCE REQUEST. 
          UM, SO TXDOT WILL NOT ALLOW ACCESS FROM  TO THIS SITE, WHICH LEAVES A FARMER LANE IS THE ONLY WAY TO ACCESS THE SITE. 
          AND, UM, THE FILM STAFF BELIEVES IS THE FILL PROPOSAL TO, UH, 15 FEET IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF FILM NECESSARY IN ORDER TO SAFELY BRIDGE OVER, UH, THE FLOODPLAIN, UM, AND, UH, AND, AND PROVIDE SAFE ACCESS 
          [01:35:01]
OVER THE FLOOD PLAIN. 
          UM, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THIS IS A, UH, SECTION VIEW OF THE BRIDGE, UH, AND IT, YOU CAN SEE THE, THE EXISTING GRADE ON THE BOTTOM. 
          THERE IS THE JAGGEDY LINE AND THEN THE FLOOD PLAIN ELEVATION IN THE RED DOTTED LINE, AND THEN THE, ALL OF THE FILL OVER 14 FEET. 
          I'M SORRY, THE FILL OVER FOUR FEET UP TO 15 FEET IS SHOWN IN BLUE AND THEN PINK, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE AND HAND OFF TO MIRANDA. 
          HI, UM, MY NAME IS MIRANDA REINHARDT AND I'M AN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST SENIOR IN THE WATERSHED PROTECTION DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, I'M THE WETLAND BIOLOGIST REVIEWER AND FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATION REVIEWER FOR THIS CASE. 
          AND I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE VARIANTS FOR FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATION. 
          SO THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS AT THE SITE WITH THE CITY OF AUSTIN FULLY DEVELOPED 100 YEAR FLOOD, PLAIN AND CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE SHOWING THE PROPOSED BRIDGE CROSSING. 
          THERE WAS UNPERMITTED DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PAVED PARKING LOT IN THE FLOOD, PLAIN AND CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, AND IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT THE BRIDGE AND DEVELOP THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE SITE, GRADING IS NECESSARY IN THE FLOODPLAIN AND CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THE AREA SHADED IN GRAY IS THE AREA OF GRADING OR PROPOSED PLANT FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATION. 
          AND THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT FLOOD PLAIN MODIFICATION IN THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE, UM, IS PROHIBITED UNLESS ONE OF THE EXEMPTIONS IS MET. 
          AND IN THIS CASE, THE PROPOSED FLOOD MODIFICATION DOES NOT MEET ANY OF THE THREE EXEMPTIONS. 
          SO A VARIANCE TO TITLE 30 DASH FIVE DASH 2 6, 1 SHEET, UM, IS REQUIRED. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THE FLOOD PLAIN HEALTH IS MEASURED BY A FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT OF FLOOD PLAIN HEALTH, OR FFH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDANCE AND APPENDIX X IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA MANUAL OR ECM. 
          THE FLOOD PLAIN ASSESSED AS THE CITY OF AUSTIN FULLY DEVELOPED 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN IN THIS IMAGE, THE RED HATCHING IS THE APPROXIMATE BOUNDARIES OF GRADING AND THE CONSULTANT USED APPROPRIATE METHODOLOGY TO CONDUCT THE FH AND THE SAMPLE PLOTS. 
          READ IT THE FLOOD PLAIN IN FAIR CONDITION, THE SCORES HAVE FOUR RATINGS RANGING FROM EXCELLENT TO GOOD, TO FAIR, TO POOR. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE FOR FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATION, EITHER FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION ONSITE OR OFFSITE MITIGATION IS REQUIRED. 
          IN THIS CASE, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH AREA SITE TO RESTORE AND THE RESTORATION RATIOS AND ECM 1.7 0.5 DUE TO A HIGHLY CONSTRAINED SITE. 
          SO IN LIEU OF RESTORATION, THE APPLICANT CAN PAY INTO PAY A FEE INTO THE RIPARIAN ZONE MITIGATION FUND FOR OFF-SITE MITIGATION. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THE OFFSITE MITIGATION IS BASED ON RATIOS AND ECM 1.7 0.6 AND THE TOTAL FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATION AREA FOR THIS SITE IS 2.69 ACRES. 
          THE AREA OF FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATION IN ZONE ONE, WHICH IS THE FLOODPLAIN OUTSIDE. 
          THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE IS OUTLINED IN YELLOW AND EQUATES TO LESS THAN A 10TH OF AN ACRE. 
          THE ZONE ONE AREA WAS SCORED AS FAIR, WHICH EQUATES TO THE MITIGATION RATIO OF THREE TO ONE USING THE MITIGATION RATIO TABLE AND ECM 1.7 0.6 AND THE THREE TO ONE RATIO RESULTS IN 0.19 ACRES, 1 9 2 ACRES OF MITIGATED AREA. 
          THE AREA OF FLOOD PLAIN MODIFICATION AND ZONE TWO. 
          THE FLOODPLAIN WITHIN THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE IS OUTLINED IN RED AND EQUATES TO 2.626 ACRES. 
          THE ZONE TWO AREA WAS ALSO SCORED AS FAIR, WHICH CORRESPONDS TO A SIX TO ONE RATIO IN THE MITIGATION RATIO TABLE AND RESULTING IN 15.75, SIX ACRES OF MITIGATION AREA REQUIRED COMBINING THE CALCULATED ZONE ONE AREA AND ZONE TWO AREA. 
          THE TOTAL MITIGATED MITIGATION ACREAGE REQUIRED EQUATES TO 15.948 ACRES. 
          AND THIS TOTAL ACREAGE IS USED TO CALCULATE THE FEE TO PAY INTO THE RIGHT PERIOD ZONE MITIGATION FUND. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIRED WETLAND MITIGATION AND FLOOD PLAIN MITIGATION, THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING RESTORATION OF THE ADDED WETLAND CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE OR CF SETBACK AREA. 
          THE APPLICANT IS REMOVING IMPERVIOUS COVER FROM UNPERMITTED DEVELOPMENT AND PROVIDING EXTENSIVE NATIVE PLANTINGS FOR THIS RESTORATION EFFORT, INCLUDING 651 GALLON. 
          [01:40:01]
WHAT HE SAPLINGS ALONG THE RIGHT PERIOD AREA IN GREEN ON THIS SLIDE, THE UPLAND SPECIES SEED MIX IN THE AREA IN GRAY ON THIS SLIDE AND SOLID SOD AROUND THE PROPOSED TRAIL ALSO SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE. 
          THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROVIDING ENHANCED POND OUTFALL STRATEGIES TO REDUCE EROSIVE CONVEYANCE THAT COULD DEGRADE THE WETLANDS CF AND CF SETBACKS. 
          THE DETENTION POND OUTFALLS CIRCLED IN GREEN AT THE SOUTH HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO BE A STILLING BASIN WITH FOUR ROWS OF STAGGERED NATIVE BUNCHGRASSES AROUND THE ENTIRE PERIMETER OF THE STILLING BASIN. 
          THIS PROVIDES ADDITIONAL INFILTRATION AND DISBURSES SHEET FLOW MORE EQUITABLY. 
          THE WATER QUALITY POND OUTFALL HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO INCLUDE A PERIMETER OF FOUR ROWS OF SWITCHGRASS AND EASTERN GAMMA GRASS ON TWO FOOT CENTERS AS WELL. 
          AND THE PEERS FROM THE PROPOSED BRIDGE DESIGN HAVE BEEN STRATEGICALLY PLACED OUT OUTSIDE OF THE ACTIVE CHANNEL AND POSITIONED TO REDUCED IMPACTS TO THE WETLAND CF BOUNDARIES, THE BRIDGE PIERS SPAN OF MAJORITY OF THE WETLAND CF BOUNDARIES ONLY IMPACTING THE EDGE OF ONE OFF-SITE WETLAND. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS EXHIBIT, NEXT SLIDE. 
          SIMILAR VARIANCES HAVE BEEN GRANTED FOR PROJECTS WITH SIMILAR CODE REQUIREMENTS AND SIMILAR RESTRICTIVE CIRCUMSTANCES TO ALLOW NECESSARY ACCESS TO THE SITE. 
          THE VARIANCE IS NECESSITATED BY TOPOGRAPHIC TEACHERS, NOT DESIGN CHOICE GRADING OF THE FLOODPLAIN TO OFFSET THE VOLUME DISPLACED BY THE BRIDGE IS NECESSARY TO DEVELOP THE SITE. 
          THE BRIDGE IS ALSO NECESSARY TO ACCESS THE SITE ACROSS THE FLOOD. 
          PLAIN. 
          THE VARIANCE IS ALSO THE MINIMUM DEVIATION FROM CODE. 
          THE FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATION IS THE MINIMUM NECESSARY TO BUILD THE BRIDGE WITH CODE COMPLIANCE, SAFE ACCESS AND LOW CORD. 
          AND THE LOW CORD OF THE BRIDGE IS TWO FEET ABOVE THE WATER SURFACE ELEVATION OF THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD. 
          PLAIN. 
          THE VARIANCE IS UNLIKELY TO RESULT IN HARMFUL ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES. 
          A FLOOD STUDY REVIEWED REVIEWED BY THE CITY SHOWS NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO OTHER PROPERTIES. 
          BRIDGE PEERS HAVE BEEN PLACED TO MINIMIZE IMPACTS TO EXISTING WETLANDS. 
          CES WETLAND MITIGATION AND FLOODPLAIN MITIGATION HAS BEEN APPROVED BY CITY STAFF. 
          WATER QUALITY WILL BE EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAN THE WATER QUALITY WITHOUT THE VARIANCE EXISTING UNTREATED IMPERVIOUS COVER IN THE FLOOD PLAIN WILL BE REMOVED ALL NEWLY PROPOSED IMPERVIOUS COVER WILL RECEIVE FULL CODE COMPLIANT, WATER QUALITY TREATMENT. 
          NEXT SLIDE STAFF RECOMMENDS BOTH VARIANCES WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS. 
          ONE, THE APPLICANT WILL PAY INTO THE RIPARIAN ZONE MITIGATION FUNDS FOR BOTH THE AREA OF ZONE ONE FLOOD PLAIN OUTSIDE OF THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE AND THE AREA OF ZONE TWO FLOODPLAIN WITHIN THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE USING THE APPROPRIATE RATIOS PER ECM. 
          1.7 0.6 AND TWO DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE WILL BE CARRIED OUT AS DESCRIBED IN EXHIBITS ONE THROUGH SIX IN THE VARIANCE PACKET, STIPULATING THE WORK AGREED TO IN THE VARIANTS, INCLUDING CUTS, FILL PRELIMINARY BRIDGE PLANS, WETLAND MITIGATION, FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATION, PRELIMINARY POND PLANS, AND THE RIPARIAN ZONE MITIGATION FUND Q SEVEN FORM AND NEXT SLIDE. 
          AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION. 
          DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          IS THERE A PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT? YES, WE HAVE A PRESENTATION. 
          UH, HI, I AM SARAH LEWIS WITH PAID DAWSON ENGINEERS. 
          UM, WE ARE THE CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSULTANT. 
          IT IS SORRY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I COULD, OKAY. 
          SO, UM, MY NAME IS SARAH ALYSSA. 
          I AM WITH PATE DAWSON ENGINEERS. 
          WE ARE THE CIVIL ENGINEER CONSULTANT ON THE PROPERTY. 
          UM, AND THIS IS TRENT RASH WITH HITCHCOCK DESIGN GROUP, UM, WHO HELPED DEVELOP THE WETLAND MITIGATION AND, UH, FLOOD PLAIN MITIGATION PLANTS. 
          UM, CAN I HAVE, SO MOST OF THE INFORMATION WAS ALREADY COVERED, UM, BUT I WILL HIT A FEW POINTS HERE AND I I'LL TRY NOT TO BELABOR ANYTHING. 
          UM, THIS SITE CONSISTS OF ACTUALLY TWO DEVELOPERS WHO ARE LOOKING TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY. 
          THERE'S ABOUT THERE'S A 13 ACRE SITE, UM, ON THE SOUTH SIDE THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE DEVELOPED AS MULTI-FAMILY. 
          AND THEN THE NORTH PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS ABOUT 26 ACRES, UH, PROPOSED TO BE, UM, DEVELOPED AS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, UM, THE ACCESS CONSTRAINTS THAT WERE MENTIONED, UM, WHEN SH ONE 30 WAS BROUGHT THROUGH HERE, TECHSTOP PURCHASED A CONTROL OF ACCESS ALL THE WAY ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE. 
          IT'S THAT ORANGE LINE, UM, ON THIS EXHIBIT THAT, UH, THEY, THEY PURCHASED THAT TO DENY ACCESS AS THEY HAVE NOT CONSTRUCTED ANY SERVICE ROADS IN THIS AREA. 
          THERE IS ONLY AN HIGH-SPEED EXIT LANE COMING OFF OF  THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE FOR DAILY ACCESS TO THE SITE. 
          UM, AND 
          [01:45:01]
THEY PURCHASED THE RIGHT TO DENY THAT ACCESS AND HAVE NO PLANS TO EXTEND SERVICE ROADS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND FLOOD PLAIN CONCERNS WITH HARRIS CREEK NORTH OF OUR SITE. 
          UM, SO HERE'S A QUICK EXHIBIT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NEAR PRIMARY LANE, UM, AS WAS MENTIONED, THERE ARE CF, UM, THAT ARE WETLANDS. 
          SO CEF, BUFFERS, CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONED, AND THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN. 
          UM, ALL OF WHICH, UH, NEEDED TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THE SITE IS LOCATED ON AN IMAGINE AUSTIN CORRIDOR. 
          SO THE CODE DOES ALLOW FOR A PRIVATE DRIVE TO CROSS THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE BY RIGHT IN THE CODE. 
          HOWEVER, UM, IN THIS CASE WE DO HAVE TO CONSTRUCT IT SO THAT IT IS A SAFE ACCESS POINT AND ABOVE THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN, UM, AS MENTIONED THE LOW COURT OF THE BRIDGE, THE BOTTOM OF THE STRUCTURE IS REQUIRED TO BE TWO FEET ABOVE THE HUNDRED YEAR SURFACE ELEVATION. 
          SO, UM, IT WILL ALWAYS BE A SAFE ACCESS POINT FOR THE USERS OF THE SITE. 
          UM, AND SO TO CONSTRUCT THAT BRIDGE, WE NEED THE TWO VARIANCES, ONE FOR THE FILL TO CONSTRUCT THE ABUTMENTS AND THEN THE OTHER TO OFFSET THE GRADING THAT WE, THE VOLUME WE'RE DISPLACING IN THE FLOOD PLAIN ELSEWHERE, SO THAT WE HAVE NO ASP ADVERSE IMPACT ON SURROUNDING PROPERTIES WITH THE TENDER. 
          UM, SO GO AHEAD AND GO FORWARD. 
          SO THIS IS THE EXISTING CONDITIONS ON THE SITE. 
          UM, THERE ARE TWO ACCESS DRIVES CURRENTLY. 
          UM, THE PROPOSED BRIDGE IS GOING WHERE THAT EXISTING ACCESS DRIVE. 
          NUMBER ONE IS SHOWN IN ORANGE. 
          UM, WE WOULD BE REMOVING, UH, EXISTING ACCESS DRIVE NUMBER TWO, AND THAT PARKING AREA THAT WAS PUT IN WITH A PREVIOUS OWNER. 
          UM, SO WE WILL BE ENHANCING THE TRAFFIC SAFETY OF THE SITE AS WELL AS THAT EXISTING ACCESS DRIVE IS, UH, TOO CLOSE TO THE SH ONE 30 AND PARMER INTERSECTION PER CURRENT CODE. 
          UM, SO WE'RE, WE'RE COMBINING INTO ONE JOINT USE ACCESS AT THE EXISTING ACCESS DRIVE, ONE LOCATION, UM, EXISTING ACCESS DRIVE ONE CURRENTLY FOLLOWS THE EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY. 
          SO IT IS, UH, VERY MUCH BELOW THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN LINE, SO THAT NECESSITATES RAISING IT UP WITH THIS BRIDGE. 
          UM, THIS IS A PLAN VIEW OF THE PRIVATE BRIDGE PLAN. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING A 400 FOOT SPAN, UM, WITH PEERS, UH, TWO WITHOUT AN, UH, PROVIDING THE WIDEST SPAN ACROSS THE CENTER LINE OF THE CREEK TO TRY TO MINIMIZE IMPACTS. 
          UM, AND THEN THIS EXHIBIT Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SEEN WITH THE NECESSARY FILL TO CONSTRUCT THE ABUTMENTS, UM, TO GET THE BRIDGE UP TO THE APPROPRIATE ELEVATION. 
          THIS EXHIBIT SHOWS WHERE WE ARE, UM, OFFSETTING THE VOLUME, UH, BY CUTTING EVERYTHING SHANNON PINK. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING TO CUT DOWN THAT FLOOD PLAIN AREA TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL VOLUME, UM, FOR THE VOLUME THAT WE ARE DISPLACING WITH THE BRIDGE ABUTMENT CONSTRUCTION. 
          UM, THIS, THIS IS, UH, WE HAVE COMPLETED A FLOOD STUDY AND HAVE IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY CITY OF AUSTIN AND TRAVIS COUNTY STAFF TO SHOW THAT WE HAVE NO ADVERSE IMPACTS. 
          GREAT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          TRENT RUSH HITCHCOCK DESIGN GROUP. 
          I'M JUST GOING TO RUN YOU THROUGH SOME OF OUR PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES, JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE, UH, DETAIL, UH, MIRANDA DID A GREAT JOB OF EXPLAINING EVERYTHING UP TO THIS POINT. 
          UM, SO WHAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE, UH, HATCHED AREA IS OUR EXISTING, UH, DISTORT A CEF BUFFER. 
          AND WE'RE ALSO SHOWING WHAT THE, UH, THE EXTENDED CEF BUFFER IS AS PART OF OUR MITIGATION. 
          WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE THE TOP 12 INCHES OF TOPSOIL AND THEN REPLACE IT, UH, BACK ONSITE WITH THE, THE 604 S 0.6, UH, NATIVE GRASSES AND FORBES, AND THEN PROVIDE TEMPORARY IRRIGATION, UH, AS PART OF ECM P ONE. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE REVISITING THE RIPARIAN ZONES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CHANNEL, UH, AND ALSO INSTALLING, UH, THE MODERATE, UH, MODERATE WATER USE, UM, PLANTINGS, UH, AQUATIC PLANT MIX ON EITHER SIDE, UH, AROUND THE, WITH THE WETLAND. 
          UM, WE'RE BRINGING IN HIGH WATER USE TREE AND SHRUB MIX, AS WELL AS THE LIGHTWATER TREE AND SHRUB MIX IN ALL THE DIFFERENT AREAS, UM, THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE PLAN. 
          UM, AS WELL AS EVERYTHING THAT'S ATTACHED IN GRAY IS OUR 6 0 4 S 0.6. 
          A ONE SPECIAL FEATURE THAT WE HAVE AT THE APPLICANT HAS DECIDED TO DO IS INCLUDE A BOARDWALK ACROSS FROM THE SIDE, UH, FROM THE, THE LAWN AREA ACROSS BACK TO THE PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD ALLOW, UH, PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO 
          [01:50:01]
EXPERIENCE, UH, THE CF AND, AND THE WETLAND. 
          IT'S ONE SLIDE I'LL PAY WITH DEAL. 
          UM, SO AS PART OF THE REVEGETATION, UM, CALCULATIONS FOR ECM, 1.7 0.6, USING THE 2022 CALCULATIONS, UH, THE COST IS ROUGHLY 38,000 6, 78 IN 1 CENT PER ACRE, UM, FOR THE MITIGATION. 
          AND AS IT WAS POINTED OUT, THE TOTAL MITIGATION ACRES ARE 15.948 ACRES OF MITIGATION THAT WOULD BE PAID INTO THE FUND, UM, AND DOING THE QUICK MATH IS 616,000 8, 36 AND 91 CENTS FOR TOTAL FEES PAID INTO THE MITIGATION FUND AND THAT'S THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION, JUST TO SUMMARIZE, AS MIRANDA SAID, WE, UM, WE BELIEVE THAT THESE VARIANCES ARE NECESSARY FOR THE REASONABLE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY, AND WE HAVE PROPOSED THE MINIMUM DEVIATIONS NECESSARY. 
          UM, WE WILL HAVE NO ADVERSE IMPACTS ON THE FLOOD PLAIN, AND WE, UH, PROPOSE THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL ENHANCE THE FLOODPLAIN AND ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, QUALITIES OF THE SITE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? OH, OKAY. 
          COMMISSIONER SIERRA, THE BRIDGE, I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND, IS THAT JUST A VEHICLE BRIDGE OR IS THAT A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AS WELL? IT IS A VEHICULAR BRIDGE, UM, AND IT IS A PRIVATE ACCESS DRIVE THAT WILL HAVE A JOINT USE ACCESS EASEMENT ON IT FOR BOTH PROPERTIES. 
          UM, THERE ARE NOT CONNECTING SIDEWALKS IN THE AREA, UM, ON PRIMARY LANE. 
          SO IT IS NOT PROPOSED TO BE A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE C COMMISSIONER. 
          SO, UM, I'M ASKING IN REGARDS TO PUBLIC SAFETY PERSPECTIVE. 
          SO YOU MENTIONED IF THERE'S, WHAT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED IS GOING TO BE SOME SORT OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND MULTI-FAMILY. 
          AND I SAW WHERE THE DESIGN ALSO MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS SO THAT FIRE DEPARTMENT CAN ALSO HAVE ACCESS THERE, BUT IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE PARMER LANE FLOODS. 
          SO IF IT, IF IT BLOODS, HOW CLOSE, HOW CLOSE IS THE CLOSEST FIRE DEPARTMENT, OR HOW WOULD YOU ADDRESS EVACUATION, OR IF YOU NEEDED TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE LIVING THERE, UM, HOW WOULD THAT BE ADDRESSED? SO WE HAVE BEEN COORDINATING THAT ASPECT SINCE MARCH OF 2021 WITH THE ESD AND THE TRAVIS COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL. 
          UM, WE HAVE ALSO GONE THROUGH A, SO THE LATE THE BRIDGE THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS A THREE-LANE BRIDGE, UM, SO THAT THERE IS A STRIPING IN THE MIDDLE. 
          SO IF ONE OF THE LANES NEEDS TO BE BLOCKED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY CAN SAFELY HELP, UH, RESIDENTS EXIT. 
          UM, WE HAVE ALSO GONE THROUGH A LONG PROCESS WITH TXDOT TO ACQUIRE A, AN EMERGENCY EGRESS ONLY DRIVE ON TO THE SH ONE 30, UM, EXIT LANE THAT WILL BE GATED AND LOCKED, UM, AND ONLY USED IN EMERGENCY ACCESS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE FOR RESIDENTS TO USE THAT AS A DAILY INGRESS EGRESS. 
          UM, BUT THAT ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY EXPLORED AND, AND COORDINATED WITH THE VARIOUS REVIEWING AGENCIES. 
          AND WHAT, WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED AS FAR AS STORAGE OR WHATEVER IN THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL SECTION? WHAT IS, IS THAT BECAUSE IT'S SORT OF CLOSE TO A FLOOD PLAIN? SO, SO THERE ARE TWO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS PROPOSED. 
          UM, ONE IS, UH, TENTATIVELY GOING TO BE OCCUPIED BY A MOVING COMPANY. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER IS SPECULATIVE AT THIS POINT. 
          UM, BUT WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION TYPE USES AND WHERE THE BUILDINGS ARE ONSITE IS BECAUSE OF THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE SITE IS FAR, FAR ABOVE THE FLOOD, PLAIN. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, COMMISSIONER BRIMER. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          APPRECIATE, UH, YOUR, UH, TIME AND YOUR PRESENTATION. 
          UH, YOU ALL MENTIONED THE HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD, PLAIN. 
          UH, IS THAT PER ATLAS 14 OR IS THAT THE OLD BLOOD POINT? THAT IS PER ALICE 14. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S, IF I MAY OCCURRENCE REAL FLOOD PLAIN, YES. 
          OKAY. 
          NOT FEEL FAKE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UH, NOW THERE ARE NO SITE PLANS YET FOR ANY OF THIS. 
          SO, SO THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT EVERYTHING 
          [01:55:01]
GONNA GOING TO BE BUILT OUTSIDE THE FLOOD PLAIN AND, AND FIT ALL THE FUN STUFF THAT HAS TO BE DONE FOR THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          RIGHT? YES. 
          AND WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE A SITE PLAN CASE FILED AS WELL. 
          UM, HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS IS AN ACCESS ISSUE, UH, THE, THE ENVIRONMENTAL VARIANCES WERE TO BE DECIDED TO BE REVIEWED WITH THE PLANNING THROUGH THE PROJECT ASSESSMENT. 
          UM, BUT WE DO HAVE A SITE PLAN CASE ON FILE AS WELL. 
          THAT'S UNDER REVIEW. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, NOW YOU MENTIONED THE, UH, ONE OF THE, I BELIEVE MENTIONED YOU'RE GOING TO REPLANT A LOT OF THE AREA WITH SOD RUDEN TOPSOIL AND REPLACE IT WITH A NATIVE SIDE. 
          IS THAT GOING TO BE REMAIN SIDE EVEN AFTER YOU DEVELOP THE AREA? UH, THAT, THAT PART OF THE SITE IS GOING TO BE OPEN PARK, SO IT IS NOT DEVELOPED AT ALL. 
          SO ONCE THE REVEGETATION OF THE 604 S GOES BACK IN, UH, IT WILL REMAIN OPEN SPACE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND THE HOMES WILL BE SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE PROPERTY. 
          HE CAN, IT WILL REMAIN GRASSLAND OR WHAT HEARD YOU CORRECTLY. 
          UH, THE WHAT'S YOU SAID THE BRIDGE IS GOING TO BE 400 FEET LONG, AND WILL THERE BE ANY SUPPORTS BETWEEN, AND HOW FAR APART WILL THE SPORT'S BE? UH, THEY VARY A LITTLE BIT, UM, I BELIEVE THE LONGEST CLEAR SPAN BETWEEN SUPPORTS IS 120 FEET. 
          UM, AND THAT IS THE SPAN THAT IS CENTERED OVER THE CREEK, THE CENTER OF THE CREEK, WHERE THE WETLAND CEF IS TO MINIMUM, HOW TALL IS THE BRIDGE OVER THE CREEK AT THAT POINT, OR ANYWHERE ALONG THERE? I MEAN, WHAT'S THE TALLEST POINT THAT IT'S OVER THE CREEK. 
          IT VARIES. 
          UM, SO, UH, I'M STRUGGLING TO ANSWER, WELL, LET ME TELL YOU WHY I'M ASKING YOU MAYBE THEN YOU CAN ANSWER IT. 
          UH, THE CITY HAD A LOW WATER CROSSING OVER, UH, BULL CREEK, AND IT WAS WASHED AWAY DURING THE FLOOD. 
          I DON'T KNOW, 20 YEARS AGO. 
          AND THE CITY BUILT A REALLY BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE. 
          I MEAN, IT IS JUST PRIMO, UH, IT MAYBE 10 FEET TALL AND THE SPAN IS MAYBE 20 FEET. 
          AND EVERY TIME IT FLOODS THERE, WHAT HAPPENS IS DEBRIS FROM THE FLOOD BUILDS UP UNDER THE BRIDGE. 
          NOW BULL CREEK HAS CREATED A NEW PATH THAT GOES THROUGH A PARKING LOT OVER THE CREEK, YOU KNOW, OVER THE ROAD SOMEPLACE ELSE, AND THEN DOING THAT. 
          SO IT'S BUILDING A NEW CREEK BED. 
          AND SO MY QUESTION IS REALLY, YOU KNOW, IS THE SPAN TALL ENOUGH AND WIDE ENOUGH TO ALLOW DEBRIS FROM A MAJOR FLOOD PASS UNDERNEATH THE BRIDGE? SO IT DOESN'T CAUSE A DIVERSION CHANNEL BE CREATED BECAUSE UNDER DEALT WITH STUFF, YES. 
          UH, THE DESIGN SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT THAT THERE WILL BE NO DEBRIS BUILDUP AS MENTIONED THE BOTTOM, THE LOW COURT OR THE BRIDGE. 
          THE BOTTOM OF THE STRUCTURE WILL BE TWO FEET ABOVE THE A HUNDRED YEAR, A WATER SURFACE ELEVATION AT A MINIMUM. 
          AND SO WE HAVE AREAS DUE TO THE DIFFERENT GIRDERS SIZES WHERE IT'S, IF FAR EXCEEDS THAT TWO FOOT MINIMUM. 
          UM, SO THE, THE OPEN SPACE UNDER THE BRIDGE WILL BE, AND YOU'RE DONE, AND YOU'VE GOT STUDIES THAT SHOW THAT TWO FEET IS WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH. 
          YES. 
          THAT IS THE TXDOT REQUIRED DESIGN STANDARD. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, AND JUST BECAUSE I'M THIS WAY, WHO HAS THE KEY TO THE LOCK, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, IT'S, IT'S, UH, IT'S PROPOSED TO BE A KNOX BOX, WHICH, UM, FIRE DEPARTMENTS HAVE ACCESS TO. 
          THERE WILL ALSO BE ONE ONSITE WITH THE BUILDING MANAGEMENT. 
          UH, THAT WOULD BE THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUILDING MANAGEMENT, THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          SO CAN YOU SAY MULTIFAMILY BUILDING, MAN? YOU'RE, YOU'RE TALKING MAINLY ABOUT APARTMENTS AS OPPOSED TO LIKE THE DUPLEXES OR TRIPLEXES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG APARTMENT COMPLEX OF SOME SORT. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO THEY'LL HAVE A KEY AS WILL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHERE IT IS IN CASE PEOPLE HAVE TO YES. 
          THEN KNOX BOX, UH, WALK HIS STANDARD SO THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAN GET INTO ALL OF THEM. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER, UH, CHAIR ROMBERG. 
          I BELIEVE YOU HAD A QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I JUST HAD TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE, THE MITIGATION, UM, AND THEN THE MITIGATION PLANTING, IS THERE A SURVIVAL CRITERIA FOR SOME OF THE TREES OR THE BIGGER BEDS THAT'S BEING PLANTED? UM, AND THEN SECONDARILY, UM, 
          [02:00:01]
IS THE BOARDWALK TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WITH, UH, WITH THE FLOODPLAIN MODELING THAT, THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE CUT FILL BALANCE AND ALL THOSE THINGS ON JUST MAKING SURE THAT THAT WAS INCORPORATED IN YES, IT IS IN THE FLOOD PLAIN MODELING. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, SO THE PIERS FOR THE WOODEN BOARDWALK WERE CALCULATED INTO THE, THE MITIGATION, UM, FOR FLOODPLAIN OFFSET AND FOR OUR WETLAND MITIGATION. 
          UM, AND I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY, UM, SURVIVAL, UM, UM, RATES FOR, FOR PLANTING OR INSPECTION, YOU KNOW, UH, AFTER IT'S, AFTER IT'S INSTALLED. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT I KNOW THAT THERE WAS, THERE WAS SOME WOODY YET, AND YOU'D GONE THROUGH THE LIST. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF 6 0 9 S UH, SEATING AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT THERE WERE SOME, SOME WOODY TREES OR SOMETHING THAT WERE IN AT SOME PLACE. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          YES. 
          THERE ARE SOME, SOME, UH, TREE SPECIES AND TRUBS SPECIES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WILL ANY OF THOSE BE IRRIGATED OR KIND OF HELPED ALONG FOR SURVIVAL? YES. 
          TEMPORARY IRRIGATION IS BEING PROVIDED PER, UH, ECM, UM, PYP. 
          PERFECT. 
          AND THEN THAT WILL BE TO A, TO A POINT OF, TO, I GUESS, TO WHAT POINT TO, TO THE POINT OF THE CONSTRUCTION'S DONE OR INSPECTION SAYS THAT THEY'RE WHAT ENOUGH FOR LONG ENOUGH, OR HOW DOES THAT WORK ON? I AM, I DO NOT HAVE THE, UH, REQUIREMENTS FOR ECM ONE. 
          UM, THIS IS LIZ JOHNSON WITH THE WATERSHED PROTECTION. 
          I BELIEVE THE STANDARD NOTES REQUIRED TWO GROWING SEASONS. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU, LIZ. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANKS TRON. 
          THAT'S ALL I GOT. 
          THANK YOU, MR. THOMPSON, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? ANY SECRETARY BRISTOL? SO, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR FOLKS MAYBE THAT HAVEN'T LIVED, UH, IN, IN TRAVIS COUNTY OR AUSTIN FOR A LONG TIME, UM, DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE TOLL WAY, UH, WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIMITED, UM, AND HAVE LIMITED ACCESS. 
          THAT'S WHY IT'S SET UP THAT WAY. 
          AND SO AS WE MOVE INTO THIS EASTERN QUADRANT AND WE CONTINUED TO DEVELOP LONG, UM, THIS, UH, TOLLWAY, YOU KNOW, WE, UM, THERE'S A REASON THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE ACCESS. 
          AND SO, UM, I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THAT OF WHY THAT WAS PURCHASED IN THAT WAY. 
          THAT WAS, THAT WAS PART OF THE CRITERIA THAT WE WERE TOLD, UM, TO BE ABLE TO, UM, HAVE THIS, UH, TOLL WAY THERE. 
          SO, UM, AS WE DEVELOP ALONG IT, I UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION OF PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT, BUT THERE WAS A VERY SPECIFIC REASON FOR THAT. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL CLEAR ON THAT, WHY THE ACCESS ISN'T THERE? UM, I SHARE, UH, COMMISSIONER REGULATORS, UH, UM, CONCERN ABOUT THIS INTERSECTION BEING IN, IN THE FLOOD PLAIN. 
          UM, AND, UM, AND IT DOES FLOOD FREQUENTLY AND THEN HAVING THAT DRIVEWAY, UM, COMING RIGHT OUT INTO IT AND THEN HAVING MULTIPLE FAMILY HOMES, UM, OR MULTI-FAMILY, UM, RIGHT THERE. 
          UH, I THINK THAT YOU'VE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH, UM, MITIGATING THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          UM, I THINK THAT, THAT HOPEFULLY, UM, WE'RE ONLY SPEAKING WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE LOWLANDS, YOU KNOW, AS YOU DEVELOP ON THE HIGHLANDS, I HOPE THAT THERE IS AS MUCH DETAIL GIVEN TO THAT AREA TO MITIGATE THINGS, TO SLOW DOWN AS THEY COME INTO THESE LOWER AREAS. 
          SO I JUST WANNA, UM, YOU KNOW, POINT THAT OUT BECAUSE, AND I'M SAYING THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE NOW SEEN MULTIPLE, UM, DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING IN THIS INTERSECTION, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S ALL BEING DEVELOPED, UM, ALL AT ONE TIME. 
          AND SO THAT INEVITABLY WILL INCREASE THE VOLUME OF WATER THAT COMES INTO THAT AREA. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO HAVE THAT ON THERE AND JUST TO SPEAK TO THAT, UM, WE ARE PROPOSING FULL WATER, QUALITY AND DETENTION PER THE CITY OF AUSTIN CODE. 
          SO WE WILL NOT BE INCREASING, UM, RUNOFF. 
          SO THAT IS INCORPORATED IN THE DESIGN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. 
          I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          OH, OH, COMMISSIONER THOMPSON. 
          SORRY. 
          I SPOKE TO SOONER OR LATER. 
          UM, I'M JUST GOING TO REPEAT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED MANY YEARS AGO. 
          WHEN SOMEBODY ASKED TO BUILD IN THE BULL CREEK FLOODPLAIN, UM, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER PUTTING THE PARKING ON THE FIRST FLOOR IF IT'S GOING TO BE MULTIPLE LEVELS. 
          JUST SAYING, I BELIEVE THAT THEY MULTIFAMILY IS PROPOSED TO HAVE A PARKING STRUCTURE, UM, INTERNAL TO THE BUILDING, BUT OUR FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION IS VERY MUCH 
          [02:05:01]
HIGHER THAN THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN, UM, MOLDED, I, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT AMOUNT, BUT I WANT TO SAY IT'S SOMETHING LIKE 10 FEET. 
          IT'S IT'S MUCH, MUCH HIGHER. 
          AND THE SITE IS VERY STEEPLY SLOPED GOING DOWN INTO THAT FLOOD PLAIN ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. 
          DO YOU HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? I HAVE SECOND. 
          OKAY. 
          SECOND THEN BY GEARING ALL IN FAVOR. 
          RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          OKAY. 
          AND DO I HAVE A MOTION? WE DO JUNE 1ST, 2020 2 8 0 2 0 PARMER LANE, S H ONE 30 NORTHWEST C H J DASH 2 0 1. 
          I'M SORRY, 2 0 2 1 DASH 0 1 4 1 0.08. 
          GOT IT. 
          WHEREAS THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM LDC THREE ZERO DASH FIVE DASH 3 4 2 TO ALLOW FILL OVER FOUR FEET TO 15 FEET AND TO VARY FROM THREE ZERO DASH FIVE DASH 2 6 1 G TO ALLOW FLOODPLAIN MODIFICATION AND A CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE. 
          THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE GHILLEAN CREEK AND HARRIS BRANCH CREEK WATERSHEDS, SUBURBAN CLASSIFICATION, DESIRE DEVELOPMENT ZONE. 
          AND WHEREAS ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS VARIANCE WITH TWO STAFF CONDITIONS. 
          HAVING DETERMINED, THE REQUIRED FACT FINDING HAS BEEN MET. 
          THEREFORE THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THE VARIANCE REQUESTS WITH THE FOLLOWING STAFF CONDITIONS. 
          THE APPLICANT WILL PAY INTO THE RIPARIAN ZONE MITIGATION FUND FOR BOTH THE ZONE ONE FLOOD PLAIN OUTSIDE OF THE C W Q Z, AND THE AREA OF ZONE TWO FLOODPLAIN WITHIN THE C W Q Z USING THE APPROPRIATE RATIOS PO PER ECM. 
          1.7 0.6 POINT DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE WILL BE CARRIED OUT AS DESCRIBED IN EXHIBITS ONE THROUGH SIX ATTACHED IN THE SAT STAFF VARIANCE PACKET. 
          ARE THERE ANY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION CONDITIONS? DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND IT BAGGY DAY. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. 
          RAISE YOUR HAND.

          I'M SORRY. 
          I'M TRYING TO GET TO ADD PAPERWORK. 
          OH, YOU'RE GOOD. 
          MISSIONARY GITA. 
          SO WE HAD A SUCCINCT FOR WATER PRINT URGENTLY CALLED MEETING, BUT THERE WERE ONLY TWO OF US THAT WERE PRESENT, UH, THE PARKS AND RECS BOARD COMMISSIONER, UH, CHEMISTRY CAUGHT HIM SHY BILL AND THEN MYSELF. 
          AND IT WAS MOSTLY TO DISCUSS, UM, THE COUNCIL'S DIRECTIVE, OUR DIRECTION REGARDING, UM, PUBLIC OUTREACH ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITY. 
          SO THEY'RE GOING TO, IT'S GOING TO GO BEFORE COUNCIL, AS PART AS THE STATESMAN SPED GOING TO GO COUNSELOR REPORT THE SECOND AND THIRD READING, AND WE'RE THEY'RE GUESSTIMATING THAT IT'LL GO PAST THE SECOND READING. 
          AND THEN AT THAT 0.8 WILL FOLLOW UP WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL. 
          UH, WHEN IS THE DATE FOR THAT OR THE SECOND READING? UM, I JUST REAL QUICK, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, I KNOW IT'S THIS MONTH, I'M GOING TO SEE THAT FOR SOME REASON THAT DATE THAT'S POPPING OUT FOR ME IS JUNE THE 16TH, BUT I COULD BE WRONG ON THAT DATE, BUT IT'S, I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE THIS THIS MONTH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SHOULD I GET IT ANY OTHER UPDATES THAT'S INITIATIVE? SO ANY ADDITIONAL UPDATES THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF, I REQUESTED THAT, UM, INFORMATION JUST BE, UM, FORWARDED TO, UH, ALL THE COMMISSIONERS AND I HOPE YOU, UH, RECEIVED, UH, SOME SOMETHING I SAID, KAYLA DID THAT. 
          DID I GET, DID YOU GET, I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT POLICIES. 
          I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT REQUEST. 
          [02:10:01]
I'M HAPPY TO. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, UM, MY, MY COMPUTER IS NOT VERY RELIABLE, SO I'LL SEND IT AGAIN THEN I THOUGHT I WOULD, UH, JUST SEND IT BY EMAIL SO THAT IT DOESN'T TAKE UP, UH, THE, UH, TIME OF THE COMMISSION MEETING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WELL, I BELIEVE THAT LEAVES US WITH ADJOURNMENT AT EIGHT 13 HERE. 
          OH, SORRY. 
          UM, I JUST WANT TO, UM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT GOING TO ASK YOU, BUT, UM, UM, CRAIG NASER HAS COME SEVERAL TIMES NOW, BUT THE POND ISSUE, UM, AT THE, UH, UM, THE STADIUM. 
          THANK YOU FOR YEAH, CUTIE STADIUM. 
          AND, UM, I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE SEE SOMETHING COME FORWARD ON THAT. 
          UM, SO I JUST, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT I'M ASKING. 
          KATIE HELPED ME OUT. 
          YEAH. 
          I'D LIKE TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 
          MORE SPECIFICALLY ON THE ITEM HE BROUGHT UP TONIGHT HAD TO DO WITH, UH, PROBABLY CLEANING THE BRAINY POND OR WHATEVER THAT THING IS, TENSION ON, WHATEVER IT IS OUT THERE. 
          AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS REQUEST THAT WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THAT, BUT THEN THE CITY REPORT BACK TO US AND FIND OUT WHEN'S GOING TO BE CLEAN, CLEANS IT, ALL THAT STUFF, WHATEVER THAT STUFF. 
          SO WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT IT IS. 
          SO NEXT TIME SOMEONE COMES UP AND SAYS, WHAT ABOUT THIS? WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A GENERAL REPORT. 
          AND RATHER THAN THE PHONE, I KNOW IT'S NOT UP TO SPEED WHEN I COMMENT ON IT, NOT THE STANDING THAT IT'D BE NICE TO KNOW. 
          OKAY. 
          IT MAY NOT BE, BUT, UH, IN ANY EVENT, UH, IT'D BE NICE TO KNOW THAT IF SOMEONE CAME UP TO US AND SAID, WELL, WHO'S IN CHARGE OF CLEANING OUT ALL THESE RETENTION, PONDS ALL OF HIS CITY, BECAUSE IT WAS A GYM I GO TO AND THEY HAVE A RETENTION POND IN FRONT OF THEM AND IT'S FULL OF DEBRIS. 
          AND IT'D BE NICE TO KNOW WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THE DEBRIS. 
          NO, I DON'T KNOW HOW, WHAT THE PROTOCOL IS, BUT IF A COMMISSIONER BRIDGESTONE NEEDS A CO-SPONSOR TO PUT THIS ITEM ON AN AGENDA FOR AN UPCOMING MEETING, I'D BE HAPPY TO HELP WITH THEM BE IN A SPOT CO-SPONSOR TO THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I, I CAN, UH, PULL IN THE WATERSHED STAFF. 
          WHO'S BEEN WORKING WITH, UH, THE OWNER, UH, ON, ON GETTING THAT POND TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. 
          UM, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE UPDATED ON RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'LL CERTAINLY REACH BACK OUT AND WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THEM INTERNALLY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEP. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY.
