YOU'LL RECALL THAT FUTURE LAND USE MAP CHANGE.
THEY WERE USING. THE SPLIT FROM THAT. AND TO DRAW THE LINE [INAUDIBLE] TWO DIFFERENT MASTER.
VISION HAD HAPPENED PRIOR. NEW FUTURE.

AND I'M NOT PREPARED TO SAY THAT. THANK YOU. SURE.
THAT THE DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S A 50 FOOT WIDE SETBACK. DRIVEWAY.
NOW. PRIOR APPLICATION DRIVEWAY INTO THEIR. FAITH. LUTHERAN.
CONFIRMATION THAT THAT STILL. EVENTUALLY.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. ACRES IS BEING USED FOR THE
[01:20:17]
MISUNDERSTANDING IN MY REVIEW OF THE FAITH LUTHERAN PARCEL IN 1938.ON THE PROBLEM, I SAW IN THE APPLICATION.
ABOUT IT BEING ORIGINALLY. BUT SOMETIME BEFORE WHETHER THOSE ARE TREES OR SHRUBS. THE EDGE IS THE CONTINUOUS FLOODING OF THE.
SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THAT. THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE.
ON THE WEST SIDE OF DOBIE ROAD. DID THAT SIDEWALK HAPPEN? AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE PROCESS THAT AN APPLICANT.
CAREFULLY AND ENSURE THAT. CURRENTLY THAT'S HIS POLICY.
TO THE NORTH. THE NEW APARTMENT DETENTION FACILITY MEANT TO THIS.
AREA. AND ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT HAPPENS ON MISSION.
THAT'D BE GREAT. THAT'D BE IN SESSION. AND.
IT'S KIND OF A TRICKY. WE TEND TO TALK ABOUT SPOTS WHERE AND RATHER ON GREENLAND, TOO.
WE SAW LOTS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION STANDING OF WHAT? SO THOSE ARE FUTURE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
[01:25:47]
LET ME SEE, DON'T SAY ZONE CREATED MULTIPLE FAMILIES.THE ONLY RESIDENTIAL REQUEST IN ITS CLASS.
RIGHT. THIS IS THE. WOULD BE THAT PORTION IS THE WHOLE THING BUT THAT'S THE PORTION. YEAH.
SOMETHING IN THERE TO SPLIT HAPPENED.
REQUESTED FOR REZONING. WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO PARCEL IS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SHAPE. REAFFIRMING THAT VISION.
AND JUST APPLICATION OF THE LOT INCREASING.
THERE'S A PORTION OF THE PARK.
AND ON WHAT? NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU SPLIT ZONE. DO NOT HAVE THOSE ACREAGES. INTENSITY IS BASED ON SAME ZONING DESIGNATION.
SOME OF. MASTER PLAN. SOME OF.
ACCURATE STATEMENT. I MEAN, NORMALLY
[01:30:01]
AT [INAUDIBLE] OUT THERE FOR.CLOSER TO BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT.
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE COUNTER NOT TO TAKE THOSE TRAFFIC STUDIES, THE LIMITED DATA. TRAFFIC STUDY.

ACCORDING TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE. I CAUSED THEM WHEN I PULLED A.
WHO'S THAT GUY ON THE BUS? DRIVE A CAR AND. THE PLAN.
WELCOMED IT AND ENVISIONED IT AS PART OF THE APPLICATION.

TO PUT UP A FENCE. THERE'S A BUFFER THAT WOULD. CONTEXT.
THEY'LL MAKE A DECISION. AFTER.
APPROVAL. THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION. ON THAT.
