COMMISSIONER KING.

UH, WELL, YOU KNOW, I I'LL CUT TO THE CHASE.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE PROCESS HERE.

I'M NOT TRYING TO CUT ANYBODY SHORT THAT NEEDS TO SPEAK.

UH, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYBODY FOR OR AGAINST THAT GOOD NEWS WE NEED TO WITHOUT A SPEAK OR I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M FOLLOWING THE PROPER PROCESS.

[00:10:01]

AND SO IT'S HARD TO DO IT WITH NO STAFF PRESENT.

WONDER, DO YOU KNOW IF SHERRY'S ON THE LINE CHAIR, COMMISSIONER LAYS ON ANDREW? I BELIEVE MR. WHITENESS IS CALLING BACK IN JUST ONE MINUTE.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, CHAIR IT.

IF THERE'S NOT A STAFF PRESENTATION, AS I UNDERSTAND, SHE WOULD JUST BE ON THE LINE FOR THE QUESTIONS THAT WE WILL HAVE A PRESENTATION OH, FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

OKAY, GREAT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

AND THEN I'LL WAIT FOR THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU.

HI, THIS IS SHERRY OR WAIT IT'S CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES.

OKAY.

SORRY.

SOMEHOW I GOT KICKED OUT OF THE MEETING.

WOULD YOU ALL LIKE A PRESENTATION ON ITEM B ONE? YES.

YES.

OKAY.

THIS IS ZERO ZERO FIVE NINE.

WITH THIS CYPRESS CREEK APARTMENT HOME, THERE IS FROM GR AND CSC ZONING TO GR THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS FOR GR AMU COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIXED USE COMBINING THE STONING AND IT PUT IN FOODS, THE CONDITIONS AT THE CIA THAT WAS PREPARED IN MAY OF 2023 PUBLIC RESTRICTIVE COVENANT.

WITH THIS CASE, THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY AND VEGETATED UNDEVELOPED PRACTICE LAND, WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST INTERSECTION OF WEST HOWARD LANE AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 35.

THE LOTS IN THE NORTH OF POS HOWARD LANE ARE IN THE COUNTY AND CONTAIN SEVERAL AUTOMOTIVE OFFICERS, RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY, LAUNDRY SERVICES AND SERVICE STATION AND FOOD SALES USES THE LANDS OF THE WEST IS UNDEVELOPED.

AND SOME PATENTS FLOOD PLAIN.

THEY ATTRACTED THE EAST ACROSS NORTH LAMAR BOULEVARD IS DEVELOPED WITH AUTOMOTIVE SALES VIEWS TO THE STYLE.

THERE ARE MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, FLOODPLAINS, AND A HIGH SCHOOL.

THE APPLICANT IS ASKING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO GMU TO DEVELOP APPROXIMATELY 369 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX.

THE STAFF REPORTS THAT WERE DONE IN REQUEST THE SITE BECAUSE THE SITE MEETS THE INTENT OF THE GRE NEW DISTRICT.

THE PROPERTY CAN SURF COMMUNITY AND CITYWIDE MES IS LOCATED ALONG MAJOR ARTERIAL ROADWAYS, WHICH ARE WEST HOWARD LANE, NORTH LAMAR BOULEVARD, AND THE SOUTHBOUND FRONTAGE ROAD OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 35.

THIS TRACT OF LAND IS A BASIS OF A VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE.

AND RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE NORTH END, THE COUNTY ACROSS POWER BLAINE AND TO THE EAST AND THE CITY ACROSS ALL OF THEM ARE BOULEVARD.

THERE ARE RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE SOUTHWEST, THE PROPOSED COMMERCIAL SERVICES MIXED USE DISTRICT.

SO WE PROVIDE FOR DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S A MIXTURE OF USES LONG SIOUX ACTIVITY CORRIDORS WEST HOWARD LANE AND NORTH LAMAR BOULEVARD AND WITHIN A DESIGNATED NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER, THE TECH RICH NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER AND THE IMAGINE AUSTIN CONFERENCE OF PLANTS.

AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

OKAY, TARA.

WELL, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SHERRY.

I APPRECIATE IT.

UH, YOU KNOW, I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED BECAUSE I KNOW YOU REFERENCED 269 UNITS AND THAT I SAW THAT TOO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE, OF THE BACKUP MATERIAL FOR THIS CASE, BUT THE TIA REFERENCES 358 UNITS.

SO I JUST WONDER HOW MANY TOTAL UNITS ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE? SO WE'LL GO THROUGH THE APPLICANT PRESENTATION NOW.

OH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

SORRY.

OKAY.

SO I BELIEVE, LET'S SEE, I PUT A DEED.

SO IS IT MS. GLASGOW FIRST? YES.

CAUSE THERE'S NEW COMMISSION MEMBERS.

THIS IS ALICE GLASGOW REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT ON THIS CASE.

AND MR. WADE IS SUMMARIZE THE CASE WELL FOR YOU, THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED AUTO HALF OF IT.

THE OTHER HALF IS OWNED CSP.

OH.

SO WE ARE DOWNLOADING HALF OF THE PROPERTY TO GR AND YOU AND THE OTHER THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS HAS 368 UNITS, THREE, FIVE,

[00:15:01]

HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE A SITE PLAN CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW.

WE HAVE RECEIVED OUR FIRST ROUND OF COMMENTS FOR THE PIPELINE AND EIGHTH ONE, DID THE DEPARTMENT HAVE REVIEWED THE PLAN 18 AS IN ONE, I WAS STILL WILLING TO DO IT.

HE'S ALSO ON THE LINE.

SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER IS ALSO ON THE LINE.

SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SO ON NUMBER OF UNITS WILL BE 362 OUT OF THOSE.

80% OF THE UNITS WILL BE AFFORDABLE AT 50% AND 20% OF THE UNITS WILL BE MOFFITT RADIO.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE TO ADD.

I KNOW THERE WAS A LETTER SENT BY A WONDERFUL LETTER FROM A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION SCORE FOR A BOUT OF THE ZONING.

AND WE'RE HERE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

SO WITH THAT, I THINK THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, MS. GLASGOW.

UM, NEXT ON THE SPEAKER LIST IS MR. DAN HENNESSY, MR. HENNESSEY, ARE YOU ON THE LINE? DON'T FORGET TO PRESS STAR SIX TO UNMUTE.

OKAY.

AND LET'S MOVE ON TO, UM, BAILEY HARRINGTON.

IT'S THE NEXT SPEAKER? UM, YEAH, UM, WE SIGNED UP JUST TO MAKE SURE WE WERE ON THE AGENDA AS THE STAFF APPLICANT ENGINEER, UM, HENNESSY AND MYSELF, AND DO A POWER POLE TO ANYTHING WE HAVE TO PRESENT, BUT ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE ENGINEERING STAFF PERSPECTIVE.

GREAT.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

SO THEN WE WILL GO AHEAD AND THERE ARE NO, UM, SPEAKERS AND OPPOSITION, AND SO I GUESS I NEED A VOTE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC, HEARING THAT THINKER FIRST AND THEN, UH, SMITH SECONDING IT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

THANK YOU.

THAT LOOKS SEEN ANIMOUS.

UM, AND SO DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEYOND TAKING MR. KING? THANK YOU.

AND, AND THAT, UH, THE APPLICANT ANSWERED MY QUESTION 350 TOTAL UNITS, BUT I WASN'T SURE IF SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CLARIFY, UH, MS. GLASGOW ABOUT THE NUMBER AS I UNDERSTOOD 10% OF THE UNITS AT 80% MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME.

AND THEN I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE REST OF IT.

20% OF THE UNITS THAT WERE, WHAT MULTI BEDROOM.

COULD YOU PLEASE REPEAT THAT? I'M SORRY.

I'M I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN GOOD.

THAT'S I'LL REPEAT THAT.

SO 80% OF A UNIT WILL BE AFFORDABLE AT 60% MFI.

THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 290 UNITS.

OKAY.

AND THEN THE BALANCE WILL BE BOUGHT THE BREAK.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

WELL, THANK YOU.

THAT REALLY HELPS ME.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

AND ONE OF THE REASONS I PULLED THIS AS A BACKUP MATERIAL FOR THIS CASE INDICATES THAT THE, ALL OF THE UNITS WOULD BE, UH, THAT I'M SORRY, THE, THE, UH, SCHOOL, UM, IMPACT STATEMENT THAT WAS PROVIDED, SAID THAT THE, ALL OF THE UNITS WOULD BE ONE BEDROOM.

AND I KIND OF SURPRISED ME.

THAT'S WHY I WAS LIKE, I WAS REAL SURPRISED THAT IT SAID ALL OF THE UNITS IT'D BE ONE BEDROOM AND IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO CONLEY, UH, HIGH SCHOOL THERE IN, AND THEN THERE'S A NEARBY ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL AS WELL.

SO WILL THESE BE MULTI BEDROOM UNITS? CAN YOU KIND OF EXPLAIN TO HER, YEAH, THERE WILL BE SOME JOKE ABOUT THE WORLD.

THERE WILL BE A ONE BEDROOM, TWO BEDROOM, THREE BEDROOM, AND FOUR BEDROOM UNIT.

I THINK, SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I'M LOOKING FOR THE, MY EXPECTATION.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THE STATEMENT HAS DIFFERENT INFORMATION FOR MY APPLICATION.

OH, OKAY.

IT'S THE BACKUP MATERIAL.

I DON'T THINK HAD THE APPLICATION.

THAT'S CURRENTLY THE SITE PLAN THAT'S CURRENTLY APPARENTLY UNDER REVIEW FOR THIS AND THAT'S THE INFORMATION YOU'RE REFERRING TO AND I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION, BUT THAT'S VERY HELPFUL TO ME.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

COULD YOU, COULD YOU MAYBE ASK MAYBE JUST ONE FINAL QUESTION FOR ME ABOUT THE WILDFIRE RISK IN THIS AREA AND ABOUT HOW THAT IS, WHAT KIND OF REQUIREMENTS MIGHT BE IN PLACE FOR, UH, THE, YOU KNOW, FOR WILD WILDFIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION, THE MISSION WILL COMPLY WITH WHATEVER THE C REQUIREMENTS FOR WILDFIRE PREVENTION

[00:20:01]

FIVE POINT IS BEING REVIEWED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO WHATEVER THE RULES OFF THE ROAD.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.

I KNOW THAT THAT'S KIND OF GETTING ON EVERYBODY'S RADAR SCREEN TODAY.

AND AGAIN, THE BACKUP INFORMATION FOR THIS SAID THAT THERE WAS NO COMMENT FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FROM FIRE ON THIS.

SO THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT.

OKAY.

YEAH.

THE MISSION, MY COMMENTS, IF WE GET OUT OF FIVE PLAN AND I'M GLAD, I'M GLAD YOU HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT YOU HAVE YOUR ZONINGS SHOULD REALLY BE FIRST.

SO YOU CAN SEE OUR NUMBERS OF SAINTS BECAUSE BY THE TIME YOU GO THROUGH THE FIVE, FIVE AND THE SUB FIVE PLAN, YOU HAVE, UM, YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION IN FRONT OF YOU.

SO REALLY YOU SHOULD GO FIRST.

AND THEN THAT WILL DICTATE THE REST OF THE PROCESS.

OUR TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS WAS RETIRED WITH ABOUT IT, BUT THAT'S EVEN BEFORE A PERFECT FIVE PLAN ENGINEER PREPARED THE PLAN AND THE, AND THE OPPOSITE PLAN.

SO BY THE TIME THEY GET TOGETHER, YOU HAVE OUR PIPELINE.

YOU HAVE A MISS MAPPING INFORMATION BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT OUT THE PROCESS IS NOT BEING FOLLOWED.

LIKE IF YOU DO FINISH THAT RUBBER SUBDIVISION, THEN GO TO THE SITE PLAN.

THEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE DIFFERENT INPUTS OF INFORMATION IN OUR SPACE.

WE DID THE ZONING AND PRACTICAL IMPACT ANALYSIS TOGETHER.

AND THEN THAT THE SUBDIVISION CENTER COME LATER.

AND THEN THE FIVE PLAN IS IN PROGRESS NOW.

BUT, UM, YOU HAVE INFLAMMATION THAT IS NOT MATCHING BECAUSE OF THAT POP UP DISCONNECT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THAT WAS VERY ENLIGHTENING, MS. GLASGOW.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU EXPLAINING THAT TO ME.

AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE HAVE THIS MANY AFFORDABLE UNITS, 80% OF THE UNITS AT 60% MEDIUM FAMILY INCOME.

AND I APPLAUD YOU FOR DOING THIS AND I JUST CAN'T HEAR ANY LOUDER THAN I'M DOING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.

DINKLER YOU'RE STILL ON MUTE.

SORRY.

I NEVER QUITE GET THAT PART.

RIGHT.

A QUICK QUESTION FROM MS. GLASGOW THAT SHE MIGHT WANT TO PUNT TO HER ENGINEER.

I NOTICED THAT THE ACCESS FOR THE PROPERTY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD UTILIZE THREE DRIVEWAYS INTO CALMLY HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEY WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS PRIVATE DRIVEWAYS.

SO MY QUESTION IS, IS THE PFLUGERVILLE ISD OK WITH THIS? UM, HOW DO YOU MAKE IT A POOL? UM, HOW DOES THIS WORK IN TERMS OF PUBLIC PRIVATE WHEN IT'S NOTED AS PRIVATE? HOW IS IT WORKING AS AN ACCESS POINT? UM, AND THOSE ARE MY ONLY QUESTIONS.

ALL THE FOLKS THAT THEY, HEY, BAILEY, PERRINGTON RATHER TALKING WITH GUY AND THE PRIVATE ACCESS AGREEMENT IS ACTUALLY, UM, DEDICATED TO BE.

UM, I SEE THAT WAS GRANTED BY THIS PROPERTY WHO ISP.

SO WE DO HAVE, UM, ACCESS TO HER LANE.

OKAY.

BUT IT'S CONSIDERED PRIVATE.

UH, I KNOW IN THE BACKUP PRIVATE, SO WOULD THE PUBLIC BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT ACCESS, UH, FROM THE APARTMENTS TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY AND VICE VERSA, IT'S A PRIVATE EQUITY AGREEMENT, UM, THAT WILL REMAIN FOR THE SCHOOL.

SO THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SITE, TO THE SCHOOL.

K, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER DUNCAN? OH, I HAD A QUESTION.

I THINK THIS WAS ONE OF THE PERFECT SITES FOR THIS TYPE OF USE.

IT'S A JASON TO A SCHOOL EDUCATION.

MARSHALL TOUCHES ON HIGH 35 TO MATERIALS.

I MEAN, THIS IS WHERE WE ALL NEED TO CRAMMED.

SO THE QUITE FRANKLY, UH, I, I HAVE A QUESTION LATER, I'M A FATHER, BUT, UH, 80% IS RATHER HIGH.

IF WE COULD GET THAT TYPE OF PERCENTAGES AND COUGHS OR CITY WIDE OR REGIONAL, IT'S JUST A QUESTION.

WELL, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THIS ONE RECOGNITION.

THEY BUMPED UP THE NUMBER OF UNITS.

IT'S 300, 290 UNITS WILL BE

[00:25:01]

GOOD.

EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER SMITH.

YEAH.

I'M GOING TO GO AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE BASED ON SANFORD MONDAY, THIS IS THE ZONING AND ALL THE QUESTIONS ARE AROUND FIVE PLAN.

THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THEY WANT, SO YOU GOTTA CUT OFF.

OKAY.

UM, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION I'LL MAKE ONE COMMENT.

UM, ACCESS CAN BE A ZONING ISSUE.

YES.

UH, BUT I TOTALLY SUPPORT THE MOTION.

I THINK THIS REALLY FOLLOWED, IMAGINE AUSTIN, WHICH, UM, MS. GLASGOW IS BRILLIANT AT, SHE FINDS THE RIGHT PROPERTIES AND THEY ARE HALLWAYS PROPERLY PLANNED AND EVERYBODY IS COMMUNICATED WITH, SO I'M IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE MOTION.

OKAY.

GIVEN THAT, UM, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

OKAY.

ALSO IT LOOKS UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO,

[D.1. Presentation and possible action to adopt recommendations to be forwarded to Council regarding matters related to Onion Creek. Staff: Kevin Shunk, 512 974-9176, Watershed Protection Department ]

THANK YOU.

MADAM CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.

MY NAME IS KEVIN SHANK.

I AM THE FLOODPLAIN ADMINISTRATOR IN THE WATERSHED PROTECTION DEPARTMENT.

UM, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, ANDREW, UH RODERA OR TO BE SOME QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION REGARDING FUNDING CREEK DEVELOPMENT AND FLOODING, AND THEN THE CREEK.

AND SO I HAVE WORKED WITH OUR STAFF TO PUT TOGETHER SOME ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS.

AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THOSE TO YOU, AND WE CAN CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION REGARDING THE QUALITIES THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

I'M ASSUMING YOU CAN SEE THE PRESENTATION.

I HOPE THAT'S TRUE.

YES, WE CAN SEE IT.

ALRIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO SLIDE NUMBER TWO.

IT SAYS AT THE TOP, HOW IS WPD WATERSHED OVERSEEING THE IMPACT OF THE DEVELOPMENT ALONG ONION CREEK AND THE GUIDANCE GUIDE THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO ADVERSE FLOODING CAUSED BY DEVELOPMENT IS THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THE LDC IS OUR GUIDE TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENED.

AND THAT HAPPENS THROUGH MAINLY THE REVIEW THAT'S HAPPENED WITHIN THE DSC DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

THEY REVIEW FOR DRAINAGE ITEMS. THEY ALSO REVIEW FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND WATER QUALITY DESIGN, THEN DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

SO AS PART OF THE LDC, WE HAVE THIS THAT HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH, UH, UH, MAKING A REVISION TO THE LDC IF NECESSARY.

AND THEN WE RELY ON VFC TO BE THE REVIEWERS TO ENSURE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS OCCURRING, WHETHER THAT BE OR ANYWHERE ELSE, THAT CITY IS THAT THE FILM IS COMPLYING WITH THE LDC, AS IT GOES THROUGH THE SITE PLANT OR SUBDIVISION PROCESS THAT THE WATERSHED PROTECTION DEPARTMENT STAFF DO GET INVOLVED WITH, UH, TECH, UH, WITH THIS PROCESS AT CERTAIN TIMES.

AND THAT CAN BE IF THE DEVELOPMENT IS IN A FLOOD PLAN, AND THEN ALSO SOME ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW THAT CAN BE IF THE APPLICANT REQUESTS PARTICIPATION IN THE BRAIN STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM OR SMP.

AND THEN ALSO IF WE ALSO GET INVOLVED AT A CERTAIN TIME WHEN THE DSC STAFF REQUESTS ASSISTANCE, A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT IS IF THERE ARE COMPLEX ENGINEERING MODELS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT.

AND THEN ALSO WE COORDINATE WITH THE CSD STAFF THROUGH PERIODIC TRAINING AND OTHER RESOURCES TO HELP THAT TO, TO THE PHILLIP PAPER REVIEW OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR THESE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS, SLIDE THREE, THE OVERALL PACK WILL DEVELOP IN HALF OR RESUME BUSINESSES AND THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE ALONG THE ONION CREEK FLOOD POINT.

WELL, THE ANSWER OF THAT IS THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY IMPACT BECAUSE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE STATES THAT DEVELOPMENT ANYWHERE IN THE CITY SHALL NOT CAUSE ADVERSE FLOODING ON THE OTHER PROPERTY.

THAT MEANS FLOOD LEVELS ON CREEK.

AND THAT ALSO MEANS THE PERFORMANCE OF STORM DRAIN SYSTEMS. SO THE ANSWER TO THAT IS THERE WILL NOT BE A NET BIG IMPACT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE BELMONT CODE IS WRITTEN.

NOW, THE R D PROGRAM THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT A SECOND AGO, UH, WHICH HAS BANDAGED BY THE WATER CENTER DEPARTMENT, UH, LOOKS AT DEVELOPMENT AS THE IMPACT ON A WATERSHED SCALE, NOT JUST THE SCALE OF JUST ONE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF,

[00:30:01]

A CODE IS WRITTEN THAT THERE'S NO ADVERSE FLOODING.

IN FACT, FROM THE DEVELOPMENT THAT DOES OCCURRING.

NOW ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT, WE ARE, WE HAVE, UH, THERE WAS A, UH, A, UH, NAT, A NATIONAL RAINFALL STUDY THAT WAS PUBLISHED, UH, BACK IN TWO YEAR, A YEAR AND A HALF AGO BY THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION CALLED ATLAS 14 AND ATLAS 14, THAT'S TELLING US THAT AUSTIN SPECIFICALLY, AND SOME OTHER PLACES IN TEXAS WILL, ARE, ARE EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE LARGER STORES THAN WE ONCE THOUGHT.

SO THE PROCEEDS FLOOD RIFF ALONG FALL CREEK, THEN AUSTIN IS HIGHER.

THE FOOT WE PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT, AND WE HAVE GONE THROUGH SOME PROCESSES TO CHANGE SOME BOOKS, MINOR REGULATIONS.

AND WE ARE GOING THROUGH SOME PROCESSES DOWN TO UPDATE FLOODPLAIN STUDIES TO IDENTIFY THIS FLOOD RISK BASED UPON THE NEW BRAIN POLL INFORMATION, SLIDE NUMBER FIVE, WHAT WILL THE ANTICIPATED COST FOR ADDITIONAL BUYOUT THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY PLANNED FOR? AND WHAT IS THE STATUS PENDING PENDING BUYOUT AND THE COST AS WELL? SO THE ANSWER, THE FIRST PART OF THAT QUESTION IS THAT WE DON'T PRE IDENTIFIED BY A PROJECT.

WHAT WE DO IS WE'D GO THROUGH A PROCESS TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE FLOOD RISK REDUCTION PROJECT THAT CANTERBURY REDUCE FLOOD RISK FOR A CERTAIN PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WE GO THROUGH A VERY STRINGENT ENGINEERING STUDY TO IDENTIFY WHAT THOSE ALTERNATIVES MIGHT BE.

BABY, FLY OUT.

MAYBE IT'S A STORM DRAIN SYSTEM.

MAYBE IT'S A LARGE DETENTION POND.

THERE COULD BE LOTS OF AUSTIN AND BY US BEING ONE OF THEM, BUT WE DO NOT THREE IDENTIFY BUY OUT.

SO I CAN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT WHAT COSTS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR BIAS.

SINCE WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE SELECTED OPTION FOR A PARTICULAR AREA, WE DO HAVE FREE BUYOUT PROJECTS CURRENTLY THAT ARE ACTIVE WITHIN THE CITY.

AND THEY'RE LISTED THERE BELOW THE FIRST IS THE LOWER, I MEAN, CREEK AREA, THAT'S IT? WILLIAM CANNON AND PLEASANT VALLEY.

THERE'S ABOUT 823 PROPERTIES WITHIN THAT BUYOUT AREA.

AND WE OWN 99% OF THOSE BLOCKS, 814.

SO TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT SO FAR IS $143 MILLION.

THAT'S MADE UP OF FEDERAL MONEY AND LOCAL.

THE LOCAL PART OF THAT ONE 43 IS 107 BILLION.

THE UPPER ONION CREEK PROJECT IS AT THE GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT INCLUDES BY THE 146 PUMPS THAT WE HAVE, WE CURRENTLY OWN ABOUT 82% OF THOSE HOMES ARE ABOUT 120.

THAT IS A VERY ACTIVE BUYOUT PROJECT AREA.

WE ARE PURCHASING LOTS, UM, DAILY.

AND SO I JUST GOT THOSE NUMBERS UPDATED.

UM, JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, THE CITY EXPENDITURES FOR THAT PROJECT ARE ABOUT $66 MILLION.

AND THEN THE THIRD PILE PROJECT THAT WE HAVE IS MIDDLE WILLIAMSON ON WILLIAMSON CREEK, KIND OF BETWEEN THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND CONGRESS AVENUE.

AND WITHIN THAT STRETCH OF THE CREEK, THERE WERE ABOUT 66 HOMES WITHIN THAT PROJECT AREA.

AND WE OWN 77% OF THOSE ABOUT 51 PROPERTIES AT A COST OF ABOUT $19 MILLION.

SO THOSE ARE THE THREE ACTIVE BIOPLOTTERS GET PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE CITY, RIGHT AT THIS TIME SLIDE NUMBER SIX, HAS BEEN DONE ON THE ONION CREEK WATER STATE.

AND WHAT AREAS HAVE YOU FOCUSED ON? WHEN WAS THE THOUSANDS DONE AT WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? WHAT DOES THE ESTIMATE ESTIMATED COST OF ANALYSIS NOT COMPLETED? AND WHAT DOES THE TIMELINE OF THOSE ANALYSIS? SO I NEED CREATE PRE HAS BEEN STUDIED MANY TIMES, AND I LISTED SOME OF THE STUDIES HERE.

THIS, THIS IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST AT ALL.

THERE WERE SOME STUDIES PREVIOUS TO THAT CAUSE I DID NOT LIST.

SO THE ONES THAT I I DID, I IDENTIFY HERE ARE NOT ONLY WHAT PINE STUDIES, BUT THERE WERE STUDIES TO IDENTIFY WHAT SORT OF FLOOD RISK REDUCTION PROJECT COULD BE ATTAINED, DEPENDS ON THE FLOODING THAT'S HAPPENING WITHIN THE CREEK.

THE LAST ONE ON THE LIST IS THE, WHAT I TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY WAS

[00:35:01]

AND THE RESULTS OF THAT PROCESS WILL BE NEW FLOODPLAINS THAT THE CITY WILL USE FOR REGULATION PURPOSES.

IN ADDITION, IT WILL, IT WILL, IT WILL PRODUCE, UM, DATA.

WE WILL HAND OFF THE FEMA AND THE FEMA WILL UPDATE THEIR FUND CHARGE, RATE MAPS TO INDICATE THE NEW LAW, THE NEW UNDERSTANDING OF FLOOD RISK.

SO THE CITY PROCESS I'M ANTICIPATING TO BE DONE BY MAYBE LATE 20, 22 AND THE FEMA PROCESS TO BE LATE 24, SLIDE NUMBER SEVEN, HOW WAS WATER SAID SOME FORM OF THE PROPOSED INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT WILL IMPACT THE UNENCRYPT WATER SAID? AND AGAIN, KIND OF GOING BACK TO THE BEGINNING THERE, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IS OUR GUIDING RULE.

AS FAR AS HOW WE KNOW WHAT, HOW WE KNOW THE, HOW THE DEVELOPMENTS ARE GOING TO BE REGULATED.

SO IT'S PART OF THE PROCESS THAT WE HELP UPDATE THE CODE.

AND THEN THE, THE REVIEWERS DOWN DSE AND SEWER THAT DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE ENTIRE CITY.

IT'S NOT JUST SALMON CREEK, BUT ALL OF THAT DEVELOPMENT IS REFUTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CODE THE WAY IT'S THE WAY THAT IT READS AT THE TIME THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED.

AND LIKE I SAID, ONCE THAT DOES GET INVOLVED IN SOME CASES BY PLANE REVIEW, RSM B, AND THEN SOME ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AS WELL.

SLIDE NUMBER EIGHT.

HOW DO THE FOLLOWING ENTITIES COORDINATE WITH WATERSHED IN ANY EFFORTS TO PREVENT ANY ADDITIONAL LOSS OF PRICE OR PROPERTY DOWNSTREAM, INCLUDING SOUTHEAST AUSTIN AND THE DOUBT VALLEY COMMUNITIES.

SO THE CITY ART OVERALL CITY'S DEPARTMENTS COORDINATE THE ACTIVITIES AMONGST OURSELVES AT THE LDC AND DO OUR NORMAL OPERATIONS TO ENSURE THAT NO AVERAGE FLOODING ATTACK IT MIGHT, MIGHT OCCUR FROM ANOTHER DEPARTMENT'S ACTIVITIES.

SO THERE'S THE LDC WHICH GUIDES UP, BUT THERE'S ALSO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS.

UM, THAT IS A CURRENT, UH, FREQUENTLY, FOR EXAMPLE, IF A PARKS AND RECREATION IS PROPOSING A NEW TRAIL, THAT THEY MAY GET WATERSHED AND INVOLVED IN THE PREPLANNING OF THAT PROJECT TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THE FLOODING ISSUES THAT MAY OCCUR WITH THAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR VELVET, THAT IS IN OUR ETJ.

WE, UH, THE EXTRA TERRITORIAL GEORGE HICKSON'S AUSTIN COORDINATES TO WITH TRAVIS COUNTY DO THE SINGLE OFFICE AGREEMENT.

SO ANY DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION THAT OCCURRED WITHIN THE ETJ GOES THROUGH THAT SINGLE OFFICE DEVELOPMENT AT SINGLE BOX OFFICE TO REVIEW OF THE SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN WATER SAID IS COORDINATING THE FLOODPLAIN STUDIES CURRENTLY WITH BOTH TRAVIS COUNTY AND HAYS COUNTY.

LIKE I SAID, WE ARE RESTARTING ALL THE FLOODPLAINS IN THE ENTIRE CITY PARTNER, AUSTIN, AND THAT INCLUDES ANNETTE CREEK AND ALL OF ITS TRIBUTARIES.

AND WE HAVE BEEN COORDINATING WITH TRAVIS COUNTY WITH THE SPRING, THE SPRING MILES THAT ARE WITHIN THEIR COUNTY AREA, AS WELL AS FOR NANGA WITH HAYS COUNTY, BECAUSE SOME OF THE DATA THAT WE ARE GOING TO PRODUCE FOR OUR STUDY WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR THEM TO DO THEIR OWN STUDY.

THE CITY OF BOSTON, TRAVIS COUNTY AND HAYS COUNTY HAVE QUARTERLY MEETINGS WITH REPRESENTATIVES, UH, STATE REPRESENTATIVE GOODWIN, AS WELL AS COUNCIL MEMBERS, KITCHEN, AND TO DISCUSS THE ONGOING FLOOD RISK REDUCTION ACTIVITIES THAT ARE OCCURRING WITHIN ONION CREEK ITSELF.

SLIDE NINE, WHAT FLOOD MITIGATION EFFORTS ARE BEING PLANNED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CITY AND COUNTY STAFF AND CURRENT RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES AND PROPERTY OWNERS FOR THE DISTRICTS MOST IMPACTED IN THIS AREA OF UNFREE, FOR EXAMPLE, SMALL AREA PLANNING.

SO AGAIN, I TO TALK TO THE LIB, BUT MORE ABOUT THAT COLLABORATION, WE DO COLLABORATE WITH TRAVELING AND HAYS COUNTY FOR THE FLAGMEN STUDY, THAT'S HAPPENING ALONG THE CREEK.

AND THEN LIKE I SPOKE ABOUT THE BIOS BEFORE WE ARE CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTING A BUYOUT PROJECT ON THE UPPER RUNNING CREEK AREA.

THAT IS A VERY ACTIVE PROJECT THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON.

ALSO THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD, I'M HAPPY TO GO OVER IN THE MORE DETAIL IF YOU'D LIKE, OR WE HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

UH, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. SHAWN? OKAY.

YES.

CONDITIONER.

YES.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, MR. SHANK SO MUCH FOR PREPARING THIS FOR US.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME.

UM, I KNOW, UH, WHEN I SAW THE UPDATED INFORMATION, I WAS VERY

[00:40:01]

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED.

UM, I, WHAT DID I DIG A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH THE STORM GREEN SYSTEM? I KNOW, UM, WHEN I WAS PART OF THE TASK FORCE, THE CITY WAS HURTING IN REGARDS TO FUNDING AND SEEING THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM, THE, YOU KNOW, YEAH.

THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM, THE CITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE OLDER REPORTS WHERE IT'S, UM, UNDER DEVELOPED, IF YOU WILL, IF THAT'S THE CORRECT WORD TO USE, BUT, UM, HOW ARE WE DOING IN REGARDS TO FUNDING FOR THAT, FOR THAT PROCESS TO BRING, TO BRING IT UP TO THEM LEVEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TO MAKE IT SAFE? YES, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO FLOODING THAT HAPPENED WITHIN AUSTIN OCCURS BASICALLY TWO DIFFERENT WAYS IS OCCURS ALONG FEEDER CREEK THAT ARE OPEN CHANNEL.

AND THERE'S THE CURVES ALONG THE STORM DRAIN SYSTEM, WHICH IS PIPES THAT ARE UNDERGROUND.

AND SO WE HAVE EXTENSIVE FLOOD PLAIN MAPS THAT INDICATE THE FLOODING ALONG CREEK, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE YET FLOOD PLAIN MAP FLOODING, FLOOD RISK MAP THAT INDICATE WHERE BRIGHTEN MAY OCCUR ALONG STORM DRAIN SYSTEM.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AT THIS TIME, UM, TO IDENTIFY WHERE THOSE FLOOD RISK AREAS ARE SUCH, THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT BLOOD BREADTH THAT DOES EXIST WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY.

UH, SO THINKING ABOUT THAT, THOSE LOCAL FLOOD PLAINS AND THAT LOCAL FLOOD PLAIN TO RENT FLOOD RISK, I'M THINKING BACK TO THE 2018 BOND ELECTION.

UM, THERE WERE MANY PROJECTS THAT WERE ON THAT BOND LIST THAT ARE LOCAL SWORN FRANK PROJECTS.

AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THOSE TO UPGRADE STORM DRAIN SYSTEM, UM, TO REDUCE FLOOD RISK ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY.

SO THE, A LARGE FORCE OF THAT BOND THAT WAS, THAT IS BEING USED FOR DRAINAGE PROJECT IS BEING CONCENTRATED ON LOCAL FLOOD RISK PROJECT.

THANK YOU.

AND I CAN BACHELOR THEY'LL STAFFER.

SO I KNOW WE HAVE ONE LITTLE MAY RECALL.

WE BROWN THE CONDITION AT THAT TIME.

WE DID A VIDEO PRESENTATION AND SHOWING FOR NEIGHBORS, WE'RE TRYING TO CLEAR THE DRAIN PIPE SO THEY COULD, THE WATER COULD BLOW THROUGH.

AND WE, I SHOULDN'T SAY WE, THE COMMUNITY WAS VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE EFFORTS BY WATERSHED PROTECTION, ALONG WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ALERT, YOU KNOW, THE CITY WILL TAKE OVER AND MAKE SURE THAT NATE, YOU KNOW, THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN SO THAT CARS DID NOT DRIVE THROUGH THAT FLOODED ROADWAY.

AND ALSO SO THAT THE RESIDENTS WILL NOT PUT THEMSELVES IN DANGER.

SO REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT OUR SHIPPING DEPARTMENT COLLABORATING WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THAT RESIDENCE UNTIL EVERYTHING COULD GET WORKED ON.

SO I WANT TO SAY PERSONALLY, THANK YOU TO MR. SHANK ON THAT, AND NOW I'LL BE QUIET FOR SOMEBODY TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

IT'S A, IT'S A TEAM EFFORT FOR SURE.

ARE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YES.

CAUSE DIDN'T CLEAR A QUICK ONE.

UM, MR. SHUNK, HOW DOES A RESIDENT PROVE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO ADVERSE IMPACT THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN ADVERSE IMPACT FROM DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT TO THEIR PROPERTY, PARTICULARLY IF THEY'RE UP HILL, UM, DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE A ENGINEER OR A PHOTOGRAPHS ENOUGH DOCUMENTATION AFTER, UM, BIG STORM EVENTS? HOW DOES SOMEONE PROVE THAT THEY'VE HAD AN ADVERSE IMPACT FROM AN ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT? WHAT'S THE BASELINE? A LOT OF TIMES THAT PROCESS STARTS OFF WITH THE RESIDENT, MAKING A PHONE CALL TWO, THREE OF MORE THAN ONE TO REPORT A DRAINAGE ISSUE.

AND THEN AFTER THAT PHONE CALL IS RECEIVED, WATER SAID, SENDS A DRAINAGE INVESTIGATOR OUT TO THE PROPERTY TO TALK THROUGH THE ISSUE WITH THE RESIDENT.

AND THAT PROCESS STARTS.

THAT STARTS THE PROCESS OF WHETHER THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS STILL UNDER PERMIT IS STILL BEING DEVELOPED.

IT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION, UM, MIGHT BE AFTER CONSTRUCTION AND WATERSHED NEEDS TO GET IN THE BALL.

SO THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS THEY CAN GO DEPENDING ON THE STATUS OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN QUESTION, BUT IT'S USUALLY STARTS OFF WITH THAT THREE, ONE, ONE FALL AND A VISIT BY THE ADRENALINE'S INVESTIGATOR AND THEN COMMISSIONER KING COMMISSIONER DAN, CLAIRE, THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT ONE THING THAT WE FOUND OUT DURING THE FLOOD MITIGATION TASK FORCE WORK THAT WE DID, UM, WE SOMETIMES BY THE TIME THAT THAT EPPERSON PECTUS DISCOVERED THE DEVELOPER

[00:45:01]

SO IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO PROVE THAT.

SO IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT WE NEIGHBORED THAT THE FILAMENT BEFORE IT STARTS, THAT THE RESIDENT THAT IS DOWNHILL, THAT THEY DID AN ENGINEER, WHICH OF COURSE IS THE EXPENSIVE PART, GET THEIR OWN ENGINEER AND DEVELOP A BASELINE ON HOW, YOU KNOW, ON THE DRAINAGE, UM, BEFORE THE DEVELOPER APPEAL STARTS THEIR PROCESS.

SO THAT THEN THE BASELINE IS ESTABLISHED AND THEY NEED THEIR CITY CHANGE.

ONCE THAT THEY BUILD UP, WHEN IT'S COMPLETE, THEN, THEN YOU HAVE WHAT BASED ON THAT BASELINE, IF THERE'S ANY CHANGE, THEN YOU CAN, YOU CAN SHARE THAT WITH THE CITY, BUT, UM, I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND ANYBODY WORK WITH THE CITY BEFORE THE PROBLEM STARTS.

UM, SO YEAH, OLDER NERDING YET THE HARD PART WILL BE GETTING YOUR OWN ENGINEER, WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT.

THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHT PERSONALLY.

THANK YOU.

BYE.

SURE.

UM, THANK YOU, KEVIN, UH, MR. SHANK FOR THIS PRESENTATION AND FOR THIS INFORMATION AND FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

AND I WILL, UH, CHIME IN WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER GARY AND COMMISSIONER DANGLER ABOUT THE, UH, UH, THE ADVERSE IMPACT THERE AND HOW DIFFICULT THAT IS TO PROVE AND HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS TO DEAL WITH, ESPECIALLY WITH SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

UH, I CAN TELL YOU IN THE NAVY, MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WE AND I LIVE IN ZILKER, THAT ISSUE COMES UP FREQUENTLY WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT AND SINGLE FAMILY HOMES SOLD.

AND I, I THINK, UH, MR. SHUNK, THAT WOULD BE GOOD INFORMATION TO MAKE AVAILABLE TO THE NEIGHBORS.

I MEAN, AND IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE PROCESS SO THAT THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, UH, THEY CAN BE PREPARED BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT'S WORD OF MOUTH AND IT'S TOO LATE.

BY THE TIME THEY BECOME AWARE OF, UM, OF THE ISSUE AND HOW, WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO BE PREPARED FOR IT.

SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING WATERSHED COULD DO TO PROVIDE, HELP, PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION UPFRONT DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, UH, OR AT LEAST A NOTIFICATION OF A, OF A DEVELOPMENT AND NEARBY, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO THEM, TO THOSE THAT ARE ADJACENT.

SO THEY'LL BE AWARE OF THAT.

AND THAT'S JUST A COMMENT YOU DON'T, YOU DON'T NEED TO ANSWER UNLESS YOU'D LIKE TO.

UH, SO I'LL SHUT UP TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO ANSWER IF YOU'D LIKE TO THAT'D BE GOOD.

MY RESPONSE TO THAT WOULD BE THAT I THINK THAT THE BEST ROUTE FOR RESIDENTS TO GO IS TO CALL FREE ONE MONTH, IF THEY CALL DURING CONSTRUCTION, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO TALK TO THE DSP STAFF TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS REVIEWED AND WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED ON THE LAND.

IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED AFTER THE DEVELOPMENT THAT CREATED THAN ONE CALL, AS I SAID BEFORE, IT'S GOING TO GO TO A WATER SET TRENDS INVESTIGATOR, BUT THAT THE, THAT THE INDOOR TO THE CITY, DEPENDING ON THE, ON THE, ON THE STATUS OF THE DEVELOPMENT, YOU'LL TALK TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, BUT THAT'S THE WAY GET AHOLD OF THE CITY AND GET FORWARDED TO THE RIGHT PERSON.

WELL, THANK YOU, UH, MR. SHANK, I APPRECIATE THAT.

NOT EVEN THAT INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THERE WAS SOME WAY TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, DURING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS OF A PR OF A DEVELOPMENT OR A ZONING CHANGE, THINGS LIKE THAT.

UH, BUT I DO WANT TO KIND OF ZOOM BACK OUT A LITTLE BIT IN, AND GET A, YOU KNOW, A BIGGER PICTURE HERE.

AND, UH, I, I WONDER IT LOOKING SORT OF DOWN THE ROAD, IF YOU'RE MAYBE DOWN THE SCREEN HERE, IF YOU WILL, UH, UH, WHAT, WHAT IS THE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THIS IS IMPORTANT TO BE FOCUSING ON ONION CREEK.

THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL.

UH, BUT I WONDER WHAT, WHAT ARE THE OTHER RISKS, UH, IN TERMS OF FLOODING AND RESIDENTIAL, YOU KNOW, UH, AREAS THAT ARE AT RISK OF FLOODING, UH, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD? I THINK IT'S GOOD TO KIND OF SEE HOW MUCH RISK WE'RE AT IN, IN, IN WHICH AREAS, UH, SORTA LIKE THE WILDFIRE DOES, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY, THEY, THEY POINT OUT THE AREAS AT RISK AND, AND SORT OF WHAT LEVEL OF RISK THERE THAT EXISTS THERE AND THEN CORRELATE THAT TO, TO THE POTENTIAL IMPACT LIKE, UH, AND I THINK THE WILDFIRE IS SORT OF DOES KINDA, UH, KINDA, UH, AFFECT FLOODING TOO.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, I WONDER IF YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN WILDFIRE WILDFIRES AND FLOODING.

IF WE WERE TO HAVE WILDFIRES THROUGH THIS LOWER ONION CREEK LEVEL, YOU KNOW, AREAS HERE AND WHAT DOES THAT, AND THEN THE COORDINATION BETWEEN WATERSHED AND WILDFIRE, THAT PLANNING THAT GOES ON.

SO MAYBE YOU COULD KIND OF, I'M DOING OUT A LITTLE HERE TO GET A BIGGER PICTURE OF WHAT, OF OUR RISKS, UH, GOING FORWARD, UH, MAYBE A RISK MAP OF FLOOD RISK MAP GOING FORWARD, UH, FOR THE CITY.

AND THEN HOW DOES WATERSHED COORDINATE WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN TERMS OF WATER, WILDFIRE PLANNING, AND RISK ANALYSIS AND HOW IT COORDINATES WITH HOW IT INTERSECTS WITH FLOOD FLOOD RISKS? SO WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT FLOOD RISK ON ONION CREEK AND ITS TRIBUTARIES,

[00:50:01]

IT'S NOT JUST ON ONION CREEK, BALLOONS AND CREEK IT'S EVERYWHERE.

AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE FIRST IDENTIFY SECOND COMMUNICATE THAT THEY EXIST.

THAT IS, THAT IS THE JOB OF WATER SAID TO DO THAT, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE COMMUNICATING TO THE COMMUNITY THAT THE FLOOD RISK EXISTS AND WHAT THE RESIDENT NEEDS NEED TO KNOW AND NEED TO DO ACCORDING TO THE ACCORDINGLY BASED UPON THE FLOOD RISK THAT'S THERE.

AND WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FREAK FLOODING, THE, THE MAIN TOOL THAT WE HAVE TO MITIGATE THAT FLOOD RISK IS CLUB BLOOD PRO BLOOD PRO.COM.

AND ON FLOOD PRO YOU CAN ENTER YOUR ADDRESS AND THAT CAN TELL YOU WHAT THE FLOOD PLAIN LOOKS LIKE NEAR YOUR ADDRESS ACCURATELY.

SO THAT'S THE DICTATION OF THE FLOOD RISK THAT EXISTS ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY.

NOW, I TALKED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ABOUT THE TWO BULLET POINTS STUDIES THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE SEEING AS OUR FAULT THAT THE APP WAS 14 RAINFALL STUDY IS THAT THERE WERE ABOUT 4,000 BUILDINGS THAT WERE IN THE 100 YEAR FLOOD, PLAIN, BUT BASED UPON THAT ONE 14 AND THE RAINFALL MOUTH INCREASING THAT NUMBER IS GOING TO BE UPWARDS OF 7,000 PLUS IN THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN.

SO THAT'S LIKE DIFFICULT NUMBER OR NUMBER OF BUILDINGS ARE GOING TO HAVE FLOOD RISK WITHIN THAT A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD.

AND THAT'S ALL MAKES IT EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO GO TO BRO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE RISK IS TO YOUR HOME, TO YOUR BUSINESS, AND THEN ACT ACCORDINGLY BASED UPON WHAT THAT FLOOD RISK IS.

RIGHT.

WELL, THANK YOU.

AND, AND, UH, MR. SHUCK, I, I JUST WANTED, I APPRECIATE THAT BIG PICTURE INFORMATION, BUT I WONDER ALSO IF YOU CAN, MIGHT ADDRESS HOW A WATERSHED COORDINATES WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, WITH A WILDFIRE PLANNING, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE VEGETATION GROWING IN THE CREEKS AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IF IT GETS BURNED OUT, HOW DOES THAT AFFECT FLOODING AND, YOU KNOW, THE INTERSECTION THERE, HOW DO YOU COORDINATE WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON THOSE KINDS OF ISSUES? YEAH, SO WE DO COORDINATE WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON A VARIETY OF FLOODING ISSUES, NOT JUST FLOOD WARNING, BUT THAT'S THE MAIN ONE.

UM, IT'S FLOOD WARNING.

THAT'D BE COORDINATE WITH THEM WITH AS WELL AS MAYBE PROJECTS THAT THEY'RE DOING, WHETHER THAT BE WILDLIFE, UH, PLAN, WHETHER THAT BE PUTTING A NEW IN A NEW FIRE STATION.

SO LIKE I WAS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE WITH OUR COORDINATION WITH PARK, WE ALSO COORDINATED WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TOO, SO THEY CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE IMPACTS OF FLOODING ON THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE OR THEIR ASSETS, BUT ALSO UNDERSTAND HOW SOME OF THEIR PROJECTS MAY AFFECT FLOODING IN, IN THE COMMUNITY.

THAT'S GOOD, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK IT, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY UNDERSTANDABLE THAT IF WE DO HAVE A MAJOR WILDFIRE THAT GOES THROUGH THE CITY AND, YOU KNOW, THROUGH AREAS OF OUR CITY THAT ARE AT, YOU KNOW, HIGH RISK, THEY'RE THE SAME AREAS THAT ARE PRONE TO, YOU KNOW, TO IF WE WERE TO GET HEAVY RAINS AFTER THE WILDFIRE TO FLOODING LIKE WE'RE SEEING IN CALIFORNIA.
