(SUP-23-15)]

OKAY, ON TO OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING.

WE ARE TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL.

CONCERNING LOT TWO, BLOCK ONE OF THE WHISPERWOOD CENTER ADDITION.

FROM HEAVY COMMERCIAL TO HEAVY COMMERCIAL MASTER USE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A GUN SHOP IS OFF OF 3516 HARWOOD ROAD, SUITE 110. IS THIS CASE SHOP 2315.

STAFF REPORT PLEASE.

GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

AS INDICATED, THIS IS A PROPOSED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A GUN SHOP, WHICH YOU INDICATED.

IT IS LOCATED AT 3516 HARWOOD ROAD.

THERE WE GO. WE HAVE A MAP HERE OF THE LOCATION, THE SHOPPING CENTER JUST SOUTH OF HARVARD ROAD AND JUST EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 121 THERE.

THE SHOPPING CENTER ITSELF WAS CONSTRUCTED AROUND THE LATE 1980S, AND THE SITE CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY 46,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY, AND IT CONTAINS OF VARIOUS RETAIL.

SO THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF VACANT SUITES THAT ARE THERE AS WELL AT THE SITE.

AND IT CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY 242 PARKING STALLS.

JUST NOTE THAT LET ME GO BACK TO THE LOCATION HERE, THAT THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE PROPERTIES THAT IS SEPARATE FROM THE OLD WALMART FACILITY, WHICH IS NOW THE ROCK ISLAND AUCTION FACILITY THERE. SO JUST GIVING YOU A HEADS UP, THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE LOTS THERE.

SO I'M ONLY FOCUSED SPECIFICALLY WHAT'S MARKED THERE.

AND THIS SITE CONSISTS OF 242 PARKING STALLS.

THE APPLICANT HERE IS PROPOSING TO UTILIZE ONE OF THE SUITES LOCATED AT THIS RETAIL SHOPPING CENTER.

AND THE SUITE IS ABOUT APPROXIMATELY 1192FT², SPECIFICALLY SUITE NUMBER 110 TO BE USED AS WELL FOR AS A GUN SHOP, WHICH WILL ENTAIL REPAIRING, REFURBISHING, APPRAISING FIREARMS, AND OCCASIONALLY PURCHASING AND SELLING FIREARMS AS WELL TO CUSTOMERS THERE.

[00:05:07]

THE REASON WHY THIS IS GOING TO THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT PROCESS, BECAUSE THEIR ZONING ORDINANCE DEFINES GUN SHOP AS AN ESTABLISHMENT OFFERING FOR SALE OF FIREARMS AND ACCESSORY ITEMS. SET ESTABLISHMENT SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DEMONSTRATION THAT MAY INVOLVE A DISCHARGE OF ANY FIREARM.

SO AND THAT'S A DEFINITION.

THEREFORE THIS REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT WHICH IS BEFORE YOU ALL TONIGHT HERE WE GOT SOME SITE PHOTOS WHICH SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN AND THE STAFF REPORT.

AND SURE, SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN TO THIS SITE THAT CONSISTS OF BOTH THE OR THE SHOPPING CENTER AND ALSO ALL THE PARKING STALLS THAT ARE HERE AT THE SITE.

HERE'S A PROPOSED FLOOR PLAN AS WELL THAT THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED TO KIND OF SHOW THE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO BE UTILIZED FOR ITS PROPOSED USE.

AS MOST OF YOU ALREADY KNOW, THE PURPOSE OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO MAKE SURE IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING LAND USES AND AND ALSO THAT IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE COMMUNITY'S VISION FOR THE AREA HERE, AS PART OF THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT PROCESS, WE DO NOTIFY ALL THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200FT OF THE PROPERTY.

AS PART OF THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS.

WE DID PLACE A SIGN OUT THERE ALONG HARWOOD ROAD AT 2521.

PROPERTY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED AND WE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES TO THE NOTIFICATION AS OF TODAY.

SO TONIGHT YOU'LL CONDUCT YOUR PUBLIC HEARING, AND YOU'LL TAKE ACTION TO APPROVE OR APPROVE THE CONDITIONS OR DENY THE APPLICATION.

AND WE DO I BELIEVE THE APPLICANTS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT.

YES. SO AND IN CASE HE HAS ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL FOR THE APPLICANT.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

JOSE. THEN I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING HERE AT 607, AND WE'LL INVITE FIRST THE APPLICANT TO COME AND SPEAK TO US.

HE WOULD CARE TO.

GOOD EVENING. RIGHT OVER HERE.

TO THE PODIUM. THANK YOU.

PLEASE SPEAK. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME THIS EVENING.

NAME AND ADDRESS. AND FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

SURE. MY NAME IS ADAM KOWAL.

K O W A L.

MY HOME ADDRESS IS 2905 CEDAR PASS COURT IN FLOWER MOUND, TEXAS.

75022. WELCOME.

I HAVE MOVED BACK TO TEXAS, BACK TO MY HOME TOWN, AND HAVE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS RUN A GUNSMITH SHOP REPAIRING FIREARMS AND LOOKING FOR A SHOP.

I HAPPEN TO FIND THIS PLACE AND AS IT TURNS OUT, THE PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY OWNED BY ROCK ISLAND AUCTIONS AND I'VE DONE BUSINESS WITH THEM IN THE PAST, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH THEM AGAIN.

AND. AGAIN, MY MY SOUL BUSINESS IS GOING TO BE PRIMARILY GEARED AT THE REPAIR OF FIREARMS, REPAIR AND REFINISHING OF FIREARMS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, BUT.

WELL, I'LL, I'LL SAY IN MY, IN MY HOMEWORK, YOUR, YOUR SITE IN LAWTON LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE QUITE A MACHINIST.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

THEY SAY THAT TO BE A DECENT GUNSMITH, YOU HAVE TO BE A GOOD MACHINIST FIRST.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PARTICULAR SPECIALTIES THAT YOUR SHOP HAS TRADITIONALLY DONE? YES, SIR. I SPECIALIZE IN IN MILITARY SURPLUS.

A LOT OF THE COLLECTIBLE MILITARY SURPLUS, A LOT OF THE TYPES OF FIREARMS THAT ROCK ISLAND AUCTION, AS A MATTER OF FACT, USUALLY HIGHLIGHTS IN THERE.

AND THEY'RE GOING THE NAME OF MY SHOP IS ADAMS AUTOMATICS COMES FROM ANY AUTOMATIC FIREARM, BUT I AM ALSO LICENSED THROUGH THE THROUGH THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES.

YOU CAN'T FORGET THAT PART TO WORK ON NFA ITEMS AS WELL.

NOT INCLUDING EXPLOSIVES, SO WE'LL PICK UP THAT.

COMMISSIONERS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I READ IN YOUR DESCRIPTION, BASICALLY, YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH A REPAIR SHOP, AND YOU INDICATED THAT YOU WOULD NOT BE EITHER STORING OR SELLING AMMUNITION. AND I GUESS I'LL DIRECT THIS TO WES OR JOSE DOES APPROVAL OF THIS.

IF THIS GENTLEMAN DECIDED MAYBE SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE THAT THAT HE WANTED TO SELL AMMUNITION, WOULD HE BE ALLOWED TO DO THAT? YES. BASED ON THE DEFINITION OF THE GUN SHOP IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, IT DOES SAY THAT ACCESSORY ITEMS TO.

LET ME READ IT. SELL A FIREARMS AND ACCESSORY ITEMS SO THAT WOULD INCLUDE AMMUNITION.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO STIPULATE WHAT HE'S ATTESTED TO IN HIS LETTER? OR ARE WE PRETTY MUCH BOUND BY WHAT I FEEL LIKE WE'RE REALLY BOUND BY THE THE DEFINITION IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

OKAY. EXCELLENT.

OKAY. WELL.

YES, MA'AM. SINCE I'M NOT, I MAY HAVE GROWN UP ON A FARM AND BEEN AROUND GUNS.

[00:10:03]

CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT TYPE OF GUNS I'LL QUALIFY AS AUTOMATIC? THE TYPES THAT YOU SPECIALIZE IN.

WELL, THE THE TYPE THAT I SPECIALIZE IN.

AND I WILL SAY THAT A GOOD MAJORITY OF MY FIREARM REPAIR IS EVERYTHING FROM PEOPLE'S OLD BOYHOOD, 22 RIFLES AND COMMON HUNTING FIREARMS. BUT AGAIN, I AM LICENSED TO REPAIR SOME OF THE VERY VALUABLE TRANSFERABLE MACHINE GUNS. THERE IS.

I DON'T WANT TO BURN UP ALL YOUR TIME WITH THIS, BUT BACK BEFORE 1986, THERE WAS A REGISTRY OPEN WHERE A REGULAR PERSON COULD PURCHASE A FULL AUTOMATIC WEAPON.

AFTER UNDERGOING A VERY STRICT BACKGROUND CHECK, AND THEY WERE ISSUED A PERMIT AND WATCHED VERY CLOSELY WITH THAT.

THOSE FIREARMS ARE RARELY EVER USED, BUT WERE HEAVILY ABUSED.

AND SO WHEN THEY HIT CERTAIN VALUES, IT'S MORE OF A COLLECTOR'S ITEM.

PEOPLE OFTENTIMES WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE IN PROPER WORKING ORDER BEFORE THEY SHOULD BE SOLD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

ACTUALLY, I'M MORE INTERESTED IN YOUR SECURITY.

YES, SIR. WHAT KIND OF.

I'M ASSUMING YOU HAD GUN SAFES IN YOUR PREVIOUS STORE.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO MOVE THOSE AS WELL? ABSOLUTELY, SIR.

YES, SIR. SO? FALLING WELL WITHIN THE THE STIPULATIONS PLACED ON ME BY THE ATF AS WELL.

I HAVE REDUNDANT LOCKS AND SECURITIES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

THAT EVERYTHING FROM FROM LIVE VIDEO ON A WITH LOTS OF CAMERAS REMOTELY AVAILABLE AND THEN A MONITORED ALARM SYSTEM AS WELL.

AGAIN, REDUNDANT LOCKS AND THEN REDUNDANT VAULTS.

THAT'S THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN BECAUSE YOU MAY BE A TARGET RICH ENVIRONMENT.

I HAVE TO ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THAT.

YES, SIR. UNFORTUNATELY, IT COMES WITH IT.

AND I SPEND MORE MONEY ON SECURITY THAN I, THAN I GET TO TO SEE FIRE DEPARTMENTS GOING TO WORK WITH YOU ON ESTABLISHING THE PLACEMENT OF EXTINGUISHERS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. YES, SIR.

YES, SIR. I WILL, AS I UNDERSTAND, I'M TO CONTACT THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE AND FIND OUT WHERE THEY WANT THE EXTINGUISHERS.

BUT I'M A WASHED UP OLD FIREFIGHTER MYSELF, SO I USUALLY GO OVERBOARD WITH THAT ANYWAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

JUST HOW LONG WERE YOU IN BUSINESS IN LAWTON.

IN LAWTON, I OPENED MY SHOP.

JANUARY OF 2020.

JANUARY OF 2020 I OPENED MY SHOP.

I WORKED UNDER SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE THAT IN SAN ANTONIO.

EXCELLENT. BUT YEAH, THE STUFF YOU DO IS REALLY DETAILED AND HIGH TECH.

IT'S HIGH TECH FOR NOT BEING ELECTRONIC.

IT'S A FUN ART. AND AND YES, I LIKE STAYING AWAY FROM THE ELECTRONICS AS MUCH AS I CAN, SO I UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

YOU'RE QUITE WELCOME. THANK YOU.

WELCOME HOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'M GLAD TO BE BACK. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER FOLKS THAT CARE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING? IS NOW SIX, SIX. SIX, 13.

WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

PLEASURE, COMMISSIONERS.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING REZONING OF THE PROPERTY, DESCRIBED AS LOT TWO, BLOCK ONE, THE [INAUDIBLE] CENTER ADDITION FROM HEAVY COMMERCIAL MASTER HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY TO HEAVY COMMERCIAL MASTER HIGHWAY CORRIDOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT GUN SHOP AND THE PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED 630FT EAST OF HIGHWAY ONE, 21 SOUTH OF SIDE OF HARWOOD ROAD.

COMMONLY KNOWN AS 3516 HARWOOD ROAD, SUITE 110 SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED.

STAFF, WE HAVE A TIE. MR. ATTORNEY. THE MOTION DOES NOT CARRY.

YEAH. MOTION ESSENTIALLY DIES.

THAT'S CORRECT. SO THERE'S NO ACTION AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

OKAY. THAT IS CORRECT. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE.

I'M SORRY. IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A DIFFERENT MOTION, THAT'S ACCEPTABLE.

BECAUSE THIS IS. THIS IS AN SUP.

SO THERE'S NOT JUST TWO ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION.

THERE'S UNLIKE THE LIMITLESS ANSWERS.

OKAY. DO WE MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL WE HAVE A FULL STAFF OR LEGALLY, THAT IS VERY ACCEPTABLE, YES.

[00:15:04]

SO THE MOTION IS TO TABLE UNTIL A FULL COMMISSION IS PRESENT..

TO A FUTURE MEETING.

SO AS WE DISCUSSED, WHEN WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO A DATE AND TIME CERTAIN TO THE NEXT MEETING.

AND SO IF HE'S ALREADY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING, REOPEN IT.

JUST CONTINUE IT. YEAH OKAY.

OKAY. BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS ONE MORE TIME.

RIGHT. BECAUSE THIS DIDN'T GENERATE AN ACTION.

THAT'S CORRECT. THE SINCE IT WAS A TIE VOTE, ESSENTIALLY NOTHING HAPPENED.

THERE WAS NO ACTION ON THE MOTION.

SO I BELIEVE WHAT THE CHAIRMAN IS PROPOSING IS THAT NOW WE TABLE THE ITEM UNTIL A FULL COMMISSION IS PRESENT, WHICH I ANTICIPATE WOULD BE AT OUR NEXT MEETING, AND THEN WE'LL CONDUCT ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM, AND WE WILL OR CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE'RE ALREADY IN.

AND THEN SO WE CAN HAVE A RESOLUTION.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

OKAY. IT'S NOW 616.

WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

LEAVE IT OPEN.

THE MOTION ON THE ON THE FLOOR IS TO TABLE THIS ITEM.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? WE NEED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO 6:30.

WE DON'T HAVE TO THE NEXT MEETING.

WE NEED TO TELL THE PUBLIC WHEN THAT IS.

IT'LL HAVE TO BE REPOSTED.

RIGHT. IT'LL BE NOVEMBER.

DOES HE NEED A SECOND FIRST? SORRY. DOES HE NEED A SECOND TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION? WELL, I'M TRYING TO VERIFY THE MOTION, SO I THINK THE NEXT MEETING WOULD BE NOVEMBER 9TH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THE MOTION AND, MR. CHAIRMAN, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IS TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TABLE ACTION UNTIL NOVEMBER 9TH.

YES. DOES HE NEED A SECOND? NOW HE NEEDS A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. COMMISSIONERS VOTE ON TABLING THIS ITEM UNTIL OUR NOVEMBER 9TH ITEM SO WE CAN DO A FULL RESOLUTION.

RAISE YOUR HANDS, PLEASE.

THANK YOU. UNANIMOUS.

WE WILL TABLE THAT TO OUR NOVEMBER 9TH MEETING, WHERE WE CAN TAKE ANOTHER VOTE AND RECTIFY A CONDITION.

THANK YOU SIR. OUR SECOND ITEM IS ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL

[3. Conduct a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding an amendment to the Bedford Forum Planned Unit Development to amend an approved development plan for an existing warehouse building (Polycoat Products) legally described as Lot 1 Block 7 Bedford Forum Addition. The property is generally located on the southwest corner of Bedford Road and Reliance Parkway, commonly known as 2100 Reliance Parkway. (PUD-23-6)]

CONCERNING AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT THAT INCLUDES THE WAREHOUSES OF POLY COAT PRODUCTS. LOT ONE, BLOCK SEVEN OF THE BEDFORD FORUM ADDITION.

THIS IS A 2100 RELIANCE PARKWAY CASE PUD 23-6.

REPORT FROM STAFF, PLEASE.

THANK YOU AGAIN, MR. CHAIRMAN, AND HELLO AGAIN, COMMISSIONERS.

AS INDICATED HERE, THIS IS A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE BEDFORD FORUM, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT FOR AN EXISTING WAREHOUSE BUILDING FOR THE DOING AN ADDITION HERE FOR MOST OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THE SPECIFICS.

THIS IS A POLY COAL PRODUCTS WHICH IS LOCATED AT 2100 RELIANCE PARKWAY, JUST ON THE SOUTH OF BEDFORD ROAD AND ON THE WEST SIDE OF RELIANCE PARKWAY. HERE I HAVE A MAP HERE, AND I ALSO JUST KIND OF PUT A CIRCLE AROUND WHERE THE PROPOSED ADDITION IS GOING TO BE BETWEEN THE TWO FACILITIES THAT ARE THERE.

THE SITE DOES CONSIST OF BOTH FACILITIES AND ALSO ALL THE PARKING THAT YOU SEE HERE ON THE SITE.

SO A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ON THIS SIDE HERE.

THE BEDFORD THIS SIDE WAS REZONED TO THE BEDFORD FORUM PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT HERE IN 1970, AND THEN IT WAS LATER PLATTED AFTER THAT.

AFTER REZONE TO THE POD IN 2008, POLLY CODE PRODUCTS KIND OF EXPANDED.

THEY KIND OF BEGAN THEIR BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA AND EXPANDED HERE TO THE BEDFORD LOCATION TO MOVE INTO THE CURRENT FACILITY THAT EXISTED THERE DURING THE TIME WHEN THIS PROPERTY WAS PLATTED. AND THEN IN DECEMBER 2017, ORDINANCE NUMBER 20, 1732 16 WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL TO AMEND THE BEDFORD FORUM POD TO CONSTRUCT THE FACILITY THAT'S LOCATED SOUTH OF THE OLDER FACILITY, AND THAT CONSISTED OF 110,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY AS WELL.

SO THAT'S THE NEWER FACILITY YOU SEE THERE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO ADD 9500 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION TO THIS, TO THE FACILITY TO THE NORTH, AND TO JUST ACCOMMODATE MORE MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT.

THEY DO. AND ALSO FOR THE NEW LOADING AND UNLOADING AREA AND A DOCKING AREA THERE.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROPOSING TO FOR A HEIGHT INCREASE FOR A LITTLE BIT OF 45FT, WHICH YOU'VE SEEN IN ELEVATION PLANS.

IT ALSO WILL BRING IT UP HERE AS WELL, WHICH EXCEEDS THE 35FT MAXIMUM HEIGHT AREA.

SO HERE YOU HAVE THE SUBMITTED SITE PLAN.

ONCE AGAIN I MARKED THE AREAS HERE WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING THE ADDITION.

[00:20:04]

AND HERE THE ELEVATION PLANS WOULD INDICATE THAT A COUPLE OF THE AREAS HERE TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW EQUIPMENT, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO 45FT, A 45FT IN HEIGHT A LITTLE BIT HERE WHERE THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING AS FAR AS UTILITIES, EXISTING WATER, SEWER AND STORM WILL REMAIN.

THERE ARE PROPOSING TO ADD A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG RELIANCE PARKWAY THERE AS YOU DO THE ADDITION.

THE ENTIRE SITE CONSISTS OF A TOTAL OF 205 PARKING SPACES, AND 12 OF WHICH ARE ADA.

THEY WILL PLAN TO REMOVE FOUR ADA PARKING SPOTS, WHICH IS LOCATED NEAR THE AREA OF THE ADDITION, WHICH THEY HAVEN'T BEEN UTILIZED BASED ON THE APPLICANT'S INFORMATION.

AND SO. BUT THEY DO HAVE SUFFICIENT ADA PARKING SPACES THAT WILL STILL MAKE UP FOR THEIR FOR PARKING SPACE THAT WILL BE REMOVED.

LANDSCAPING PLAN HAS BEEN PROVIDED, BUT THERE WON'T BE NO SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO THE LANDSCAPING AND ALSO NO TREES WILL BE AFFECTED OR DISTURBED DURING THIS SITE WITH THIS PROJECT. EXCUSE ME.

SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT.

THE THE SITE HERE IT IS SURROUNDED BY MOSTLY RESIDENTIAL.

WE DO HAVE RESIDENTIAL THERE TO THE EAST SIDE THERE ALSO TO THE NORTH.

WE DO HAVE INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING AS WELL TO THE SOUTH A LITTLE BIT MORE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO THE WEST SIDE THERE.

I DO HAVE AN IMAGE HERE, KIND OF SHOWS IN BETWEEN THE BOTH BUILDINGS THERE OF WHERE THE ADDITION IS GOING TO GO.

AND HERE ARE SOME SITE PHOTOS.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE.

HE HE MET ME ON THE SITE ACTUALLY WHEN I WAS OUT THERE TAKING PHOTOS AND KIND OF GUIDED ME AROUND THE FACILITY THERE.

SO I WAS ABLE TO GET SOME PHOTOS AS WELL.

KIND OF IN BETWEEN BOTH BUILDINGS HERE.

THE ONE FROM THE TOP LEFT THERE KIND OF GIVES YOU A VIEW OF THE BUILDING.

SAME WITH THE BOTTOM RIGHT OVER HERE.

KIND OF GIVES YOU LIKE VIEWS FROM BOTH SIDES FROM THE EAST AND WEST SIDE.

KIND OF LIKE PORT ADDITIONS GOING BETWEEN THOSE TWO BUILDINGS.

AS PART OF THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS FOR THIS AMENDMENT, WE DID NOTIFY THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS.

A SIGN WAS PLACED ON THE PROPERTY AS WELL 79 PROPERTY OWNERS.

THERE'S A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AROUND THERE WERE NOTIFIED.

TWO RESPONSES WERE RECEIVED TO THE NOTIFICATION.

ONE WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET THAT WAS SENT OUT ON FRIDAY, AND THEN ANOTHER ONE CAME IN WHICH A COPY WAS PROVIDED FOR YOU BEFORE IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING.

SO TONIGHT YOU'LL CONDUCT YOUR PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

AND WE DO HAVE SOME RECOMMENDED ACTIONS HERE.

SO YOU'LL EITHER APPROVE, DENY OR APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS OR MAYBE TABLE AS WELL.

SO YOU HAVE SOME AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR TONIGHT'S PUBLIC HEARING.

STAFF IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THE APPLICANTS ALSO HERE IN ATTENDANCE AS WELL TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU SIR. ANYBODY ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? YES, MA'AM. YES. IF I UNDERSTAND THE THEY STARTED WORKING IN THIS PROJECT IN 1978.

IS THAT WHEN THAT BUILDING WENT INTO EFFECT? WHICH ONE? THE FIRST.

YES. DID THAT PRECEDE ALL THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OR HOW DID THAT AREA DEVELOP? YEAH. SO BECAUSE MOST OF THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CAME MUCH LATER AROUND THE 90S OR SO, I THINK WES CAN ALSO JUMP IN..

LATE 80S, EARLY 90S IS WHEN THE MAJORITY OF THAT WAS DEVELOPED.

SO. YES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? THE APPLICANT.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION TO US? AND WELCOME, SIR.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

CHRIS MAUPIN.

CHRISTOPHER MAUPIN 3005 OCASO COURT, MATTHEWS, NORTH CAROLINA.

WELCOME. DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF YOUR QUESTION, I MIGHT BE THE BEST PERSON TO ANSWER.

OR MY COLLEAGUE.

WELL, YEAH, I JUST.

DO WE HAVE ANY? I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO SAY TO US OR ANYTHING.

YEAH, YEAH. SO THIS IS AS JOSE DESCRIBED.

THIS IS, IS AN ADDITION TO THE EXISTING BUILDING IN BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS.

IT'S KIND OF A PRODUCTION SHED OF SORTS.

WE'RE WE'RE HAVE A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WILL ENABLE US TO MAKE A NEXT GENERATION OF THE PRODUCTS THAT WE CURRENTLY MAKE, AND WE LIKE TO HOUSE THIS NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN THIS SHED.

IT IT DOES REQUIRE THE.

THE HEAD SPACE ABOVE CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE EQUIPMENT NEED A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA HEIGHT TO ACCOMMODATE THEM.

SO AGAIN, THE PURPOSE OF THE SHED IS LARGELY TO IS TO PROTECT THE EQUIPMENT, JUST BASIC PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS AND JUST KIND OF HOUSE IT. SO IT'S NOT OUT THERE IN THE OPEN.

SURE, SURE. SO ONE THING THAT WAS JUST TO CLARIFY SINCE WE'RE IN DISCUSSION IS.

THE THE TRAFFIC FLOW FROM THAT PART OF THE BUILDING.

YOU'RE JUST MOVING THOSE TWO DOCKS FARTHER OUT IN THAT SAME PATH.

IS THAT CORRECT? THE THE THE DOCKS NOT ACTUALLY MOVING RIGHT NOW.

[00:25:01]

THE TRUCKS KIND OF BACK IN.

THEY KIND OF COME IN AND BACK INTO THE DOCK TOWARDS RELIANCE.

I THINK THE DOCK, THE EXISTING DOCK IS GOING TO STAY THERE AND NOW THE TRUCKS WILL JUST APPROACH.

THEY'LL JUST COME STRAIGHT IN.

OKAY. BUT THE DOCK.

THE DOCK IS STAYING AS IS.

DOESN'T THIS ADDITION DOESN'T APPRECIABLY CHANGE ANY OF THE TRAFFIC FLOW TO YOUR BUILDING? NO. OKAY. AS IT EXISTS TODAY.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. RIGHT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. SIR.

WELCOME. AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

AND INTERESTING PROJECT.

THANK YOU. OKAY. IT IS 6:26.

WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM.

ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN DISCUSSING OR PROVIDING INFORMATION TO COMMISSION ON PUD 23-6, PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS AND CHAIR AND STAFF. MY NAME IS SADIE HARRISON FINCHER.

I'M AN ATTORNEY WITH BOURLAND WALL AND WENZEL IN FORT WORTH.

I REPRESENT ALDWIN ZIM AND ZIM AUTOTECHNIK.

THAT IS THE PROPERTY OWNER ON THE 1800 BLOCK OF RELIANCE PARKWAY, WHICH IS SOUTH OF THE POLY COAT LOCATION, JUST JUST NEAR THE AIRPORT FREEWAY IS WHERE THE PROPERTY BEGINS.

MR. ZIM IS ALSO PRESENT HERE.

IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS DIRECTLY FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER, AS INDICATED BY MR. SINES, WE HAD SUBMITTED WRITTEN COMMENTS AND THEY ARE ATTACHED TO YOUR AGENDA.

I DON'T WANT TO RESTATE THOSE ITEMS FOR YOU.

YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY READ THEM IN YOUR PACKET FOR YOURSELF, BUT I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT CERTAIN THINGS, AND I DID WANT THE WRITTEN COMMENTS TO ESSENTIALLY BE RESTATED, INCORPORATED INTO THE RECORD AS IF THEY WERE PRESENTED HERE AT THIS PUBLIC HEARING.

MR. ZIM HAS HAS OWNED THE PROPERTY ON RELIANCE PARKWAY FOR 45 YEARS, AND THIS ISSUE IS IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO MR. ZIM BECAUSE ALL OF HIS COMMERCIAL INVESTMENTS ARE LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE POLY COTE FACILITY AND ON RELIANCE PARKWAY. THIS 9400 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION TO THE POLLY COATES EXISTING MANUFACTURING FACILITY WILL BE ONE THAT INCREASES THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING AND THE TOWER THAT WAS MENTIONED BEFORE TO 45FT, WHICH I UNDERSTAND FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. SINES, WOULD THEN BE THE LARGEST, THE HIGHEST BUILDING IN THE ADJACENT AREA.

AND ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT MR. ZIM HAS WITH RESPECT TO EXPANDING THE FACILITY, NARROWING THE ACCESS AREA IN BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS, IS ESSENTIALLY FIRE AND EMERGENCY ACCESS, AND THE ABILITY FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO RESPOND TO ANY KIND OF EMERGENCY IN THAT FACILITY, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE INCREASED HEIGHT AND THE DIMINISHED ACCESS ALONG THAT CORRIDOR BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS.

I THINK EVERYBODY HERE PROBABLY IS FAMILIAR WITH THE 2022 ALARM FIRE THAT OCCURRED AT THE POLY COAT FACILITY, AND MR. ZIM HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING PRESENT FOR THAT.

AND SEEING THE TEN OR MORE FIRE TRUCKS THAT ACTUALLY HAD TO COME AND RESPOND TO THIS FIRE.

I BELIEVE ONLY TWO COULD ACTUALLY ACCESS THE SITE.

OTHERS WERE PARKED RIGHT ACROSS HIS HIS PROPERTY, COULDN'T COULDN'T GET IN THE SPACE.

AND SO I THINK I THINK THE CONCERN HERE IS THE OPPOSITION TO THE EXPANSION FOR MR. ZIM IS THAT.

THE INCREASED RISK OF CHEMICAL FIRE HAZARDS CREATED BY THE EXPANSION AND THE HEIGHT INCREASE, AND THEN THIS LACK OF EMERGENCY ACCESS AND ADEQUATE ACCESS TO WATER MAINS AND OTHER EMERGENCY RESOURCES ALONG THE RELIANCE PARKWAY WILL CAUSE A RISK OF DAMAGE TO HIS PROPERTY THAT'S LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE POLY COVE FACILITY.

WE HAD TRIED TO CONFIRM AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO.

WHAT THE MINIMUM CLEAR WIDTH IS THAT'S APPLICABLE TO THE BUILDING.

BUT I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE WHEN WE HAVE AN INCREASED HEIGHT, AS IS INDICATED HERE ON THIS TOWER, IS THAT THAT ALSO REQUIRES AN ADEQUATE SPACE FOR THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO ACCESS IT.

SO WHEN YOU HAVE A HIGH A HIGHER BUILDING, YOU NEED MORE SPACE.

YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO ANCHOR THE FIRE TRUCKS.

THE LARGE FIRE TRUCKS NEED TO PUT THEIR LADDER UP TO ACCESS THE EMERGENCY AREA.

AND WITHOUT SUFFICIENT SPACE, THERE COULD BE A HIGHER RISK THAT THE FIRE COULD SPREAD, THAT THEY COULD NOT ADEQUATELY RESPOND, AND THAT NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES WOULD BE AT RISK FROM THE FIRE.

[00:30:01]

AND THIS HEIGHT WILL ONLY EXACERBATE THIS ACCESS ISSUE.

WE DID CONFIRM THAT THE HIGH PACKET THAT A 35 FOOT HEIGHT IS, WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT ALLOWED RIGHT NOW AND NO OTHER BUILDING.

THERE'S ONE OTHER BUILDING I THINK THAT YOU'D INDICATED WAS NEAR THAT MET THAT HEIGHT, BUT THIS ONE WOULD DEFINITELY BE WELL ABOVE IT AT THAT TIME.

SO I THINK THAT THE CONCERN IS THE FLAMMABLE NATURE OF THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE DEALT WITH THERE NEAR OTHER DENSE INDUSTRIAL AREA AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES SURROUNDING IT.

AND THE INCREASED RISK THAT WE FIND FROM THAT, FROM THAT DECREASED ACCESS ABILITY.

SO MR. ZIMM OPPOSES THE EXPANSION AND THE AMENDMENT TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ON THOSE BASES, AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT IS TO BE GRANTED AND THE EXPANSION IS TO GO FORWARD, WHAT TYPES OF PROTECTIONS ARE GOING TO BE PUT IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER SITUATION LIKE 2020? AND GOD FORBID, IF THE FIRE WERE TO NOT HAVE BEEN CONTAINED, WHAT KIND OF WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T SPREAD TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS, THAT THE OTHER PROPERTIES ARE NOT AT RISK, AND THAT THIS EXPANSION WON'T CAUSE AN ACCESS ISSUE HERE.

AND I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HAVE THE CHEMICALS THAT ARE BURNING, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT'S BEEN RAISED IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THOSE CHEMICALS IF THERE WERE TO BE A FIRE IN THE LOCATION? I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF CHEMICALS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE CHEMICAL FUMES TO ESCAPE AND HOW THE CONTAINMENT WOULD OCCUR.

AND SO THOSE ARE ALL QUESTIONS THAT THAT HAVE RAISED A CONCERN FOR MY CLIENT.

IN ADDITION, I HAD NOTED IN ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD MAYBE FOR PLANNING WAS, I KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOCATION OF AN ACCESS GATE THAT'S BEING RELOCATED.

AND SO I THINK THAT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WOULD BE WHETHER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS ADEQUATE ACCESS VIA THE ACCESS GATE THAT'S BEING RELOCATED, WHAT TYPE OF SECURITY GATE IS IT? SO I KNOW THAT WAS ANOTHER ACCESS QUESTION THAT WE HAD, THAT IT WASN'T CLEAR TO ME FROM FROM THE SITE PLAN THAT WE HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT.

SO, I MEAN, IN SUM, I THINK THAT REALLY THE CONCERNS ARE THE DENSE INDUSTRIAL AREA SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, THE HISTORY OF FIRES.

THE 2022 ALARM FIRE WAS NOT THE ONLY FIRE AT THIS FACILITY.

THERE HAVE BEEN PRIOR FIRES.

THERE WAS ONE PRIOR TO 2017 WHERE THERE ALSO WASN'T, YOU KNOW, ACCESS ISSUE.

ONLY TWO FIRE TRUCKS WERE ABLE TO ACCESS THE PROPERTY, BUT MULTIPLE RESPONDED.

THEN WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HEIGHTENED BUILDING BEING THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE AREA ON THIS TOWER WHERE THIS NEW EQUIPMENT IS LOCATED, DOESN'T INCREASE THE RISK THAT FIRE OR OTHER EMERGENCY WILL OCCUR DUE TO THE INCREASED HEIGHT AND THE FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS THAT ARE BEING STORED IN THAT LOCATION.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

HAVE ANY ONE ELSE FROM THE AUDIENCE TO CARE TO SPEAK.

YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

YVONNE GARCIA, 2105 OAK MANOR DRIVE.

SO I ACTUALLY DID SEND IN AN EMAIL TODAY THAT WAS PROBABLY MINE.

MY HOUSE ACTUALLY IS ON THE OTHER SIDE, SO MY BACKYARD ACTUALLY FACES THEIR LOADING DOCK.

AND MY UNDERSTANDING, UNLESS I MISREAD IT AND I KIND OF WANT CLARIFICATION AS WE'RE SITTING HERE LISTENING TO THINGS, AM I TO BELIEVE THAT THE 9400FT² ADDITION IS FOR STORAGE ONLY? THERE'S NOTHING IN OUR PACKET THAT INDICATES THE INTERNAL USE OF THE BUILDING OTHER THAN THE.

BUT SOMEWHERE ON THERE IT SAID IT WAS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING PURPOSES.

SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD MORE BAYS? I DON'T. OKAY.

SO IF WE GO BACK TO THE ACTUAL STAFF REPORT ON THERE, IT TALKS ABOUT THE LOADING AND UNLOADING, OKAY, TO THE ADDITIONAL OF THE 9400 SQUARE FOOT.

SO THAT MADE ME BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO PUT IN MORE BAY AREAS FOR MORE SEMI TRUCKS TO GO DOWN THERE, WHICH IS WHAT MY HUGEST CONCERN BESIDES THE HEIGHT IS BECAUSE AS I STATED ON THERE, WE HAVE A HUGE ISSUE DOWN RELIANCE

[00:35:10]

PARKWAY THAT WE WE JUST HAVE ALREADY KIND OF WENT, TOSSED OUR ARMS AND KIND OF SAID, OKAY, PD GOES OUT, THEY CITE THEM, THEY PAY THE CITATION, AND THEN THEY'RE BACK THERE AGAIN.

SO MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE WAY I READ THE COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE STAFF WAS THIS.

THIS WOULD BE A LOADING AND UNLOADING AS WELL TO THE ADDITIONAL PART.

AND THAT'S MY CONCERN IS HAVING MORE OF THE SEMI TRUCK TRAFFIC IN THERE, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE JUST ACCOMMODATED THAT NEW 183 WAREHOUSE WITH THE MEDIAN TAKING OUT THOSE TREES TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE SEMI TRUCKS TOO.

SO OBVIOUSLY I WOULD LIKE CLARIFICATION ON WHAT IF THE 9400FT² IS ONLY FOR STORAGE? OKAY. THANK YOU.

WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT IN A LITTLE A LITTLE DETAIL? WE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO HAVE EQUIPMENT IN THERE, BUT YOU WANT TO ADDRESS WHAT'S IN THIS ADDITION TO THOSE COMMENTS FOR.

YEAH. FOR STARTERS THERE'LL BE ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT'S ESSENTIALLY SKID MOUNTED.

IT IT'S IT'S LIKE 19 BY 25FT FOOT FOOTPRINT ON IT.

THE LOADING UNLOADING AGAIN THERE'S NO NO ADDITIONAL BAYS INVOLVED IN THIS.

THERE'LL BE NO ADDITIONAL TRUCK TRAFFIC.

IT'S JUST THE ORIENTATION AT WHICH THE TRUCKS WOULD COME INTO THE BAY IS IS CHANGING.

BUT THERE'S THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL.

TRUCK TRAFFIC BAYS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THERE THIS EQUIPMENT WILL NOT BE PROCESSING ANY CHEMICALS THAT ARE FLAMMABLE.

SO I DON'T THINK IT'S IT'S ADDING ANY PARTICULAR FIRE RISK FOR THESE CHEMICALS.

WE HAD AT LEAST TWO VISITS WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL, ONE OF WHICH I WAS PRESENT AT WHERE WE'VE WE HAD MODIFIED THE PLANS.

AND I MEAN, HE CAN SPEAK FOR HIMSELF, BUT I THINK HE WAS SATISFIED THAT WITH THE CONFIGURATION THAT IS IN THE PLAN NOW WOULD PROVIDE HIS HIS GUYS SUFFICIENT ACCESS AND SAFETY.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE FROM THE AUDIENCE THAT SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE? YES, MA'AM. 3217 CARLYLE STREET.

I'M LESS THAN 200FT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE POLY COAT FABRIC, AND MY MAIN CONCERN IS I HAVE TENANTS LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY, RIGHT? AND MY FRONT DOOR IS LITERALLY FACING THE THE PROPERTY THAT THEY'RE PLANNING ON EXPAND.

SO HOW LONG IS THIS PROJECT GOING TO LAST? LIKE IF IT GETS APPROVED, HOW LONG? HOW MANY MONTHS IS IT GOING TO LAST THAT CONSTRUCTION AND AND WHEN WILL THEY BE TENTATIVELY STARTING? OKAY, WELL, FIRST OF ALL, YOUR NAME, PLEASE.

ONA PFIESTER. OKAY.

AND SINCE WE HAVE THE PICTURE UP THERE, HELP FOR ALL OF US, INCLUDING THE AUDIENCE.

WHERE ON THAT MAP IS YOUR HOUSE? I'M, LIKE, TEN FEET AWAY FROM THAT CREEK ON THE WEST SIDE.

ON THE WEST SIDE. OKAY.

IN THAT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TREES.

CORRECT? AND I WAS SO RELIEVED THAT THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY'RE NOT TAKING AWAY ANY OF THE TREES.

SO THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS, ACTUALLY.

SO BUT JUST HOW LONG WILL THIS PROJECT BE AND WHEN ARE THEY TENTATIVELY STARTING AND WHEN ARE THEY FINISHING? OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE FROM THE AUDIENCE.

I THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME, I'M PATTI TAYLOR, 3222 BEDFORD ROAD.

I AM THE ALMOST THE FURTHER FURTHEST EAST OF THE OF THE TOWNHOUSES THERE THAT ARE ON BEDFORD ROAD, AND I FEEL A LITTLE SILLY BEING UP HERE TODAY, BUT I KIND OF THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS, SO I'M GOING TO SAY IT.

GLAD TO HAVE YOU. THANK YOU.

BUT THEY WAKE ME UP EVERY MORNING AT 4:30.

SO MY I MEAN, BESIDES THE TRAFFIC, THE INCREASE IN THE TRAFFIC.

MY THOUGHT WAS IF THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE LOADING AND UNLOADING, I AM REALLY OPPOSED TO ANY MORE OF THIS.

[00:40:04]

SO. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

THANK YOU. WE'D LIKE TO ADD.

OH. YES, MA'AM.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING, PLEASE.

MY NAME IS MELISSA BOYLAN.

I LIVE AT 2209 OAK MANOR DRIVE AND MY HOUSE, ALSO THE BACK OF MY HOUSE IS DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE PLANT.

AND IN WHICH DIRECTION, IF YOU DON'T MIND HELPING..

ON THE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PLANT.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET.

ON THE RELIANCE.

YES. OKAY. THANK YOU.

AND WE'VE LIVED THERE SINCE 2010, AND I'VE DEALT WITH THE TRUCK NOISE OVER THE YEARS.

AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SINCE THAT ADDITION WAS ADDED ON, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, IT KIND OF GOT TO THE BREAKING POINT, AT LEAST WITH ME, WHERE I WAS JUST TIRED OF ALL OF THE TRUCK NOISE AND ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO DISCUSS WHAT CAN BE DONE.

AND IN TALKING TO THEM AND DOING SOME RESEARCH IN THE MUNICIPAL CODES, I FOUND OUT THERE SHOULD BE NO PARKING SIGNS ALL ALONG THAT STREET FROM THE CORNER ALL THE WAY TO BASICALLY ATMOS ENERGY.

AND THOSE SIGNS WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE GONE UP IN 2019, 2018, AND THEY NEVER GOT CHANGED.

AND SO THERE WERE JUST TRUCKS PARKING THERE, CONSTANTLY ROARING THEIR ENGINES, DOING MAINTENANCE ON THEIR TRUCKS, HAVING A SIESTA AND JUST HANGING OUT FOR HOURS AND JUST MAKING LOTS OF NOISE.

SO WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THOSE SIGNS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED, I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO GET THEM DONE SO THAT THEY COULD AT LEAST HELP WITH THE TRUCK NOISE.

THANKFULLY, WE DID GET THEM CHANGED TO NO PARKING.

SO THERE'S NO MORE STANDING OR I'M SORRY, THERE'S NO MORE PARKING, BUT WE STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH TRUCKS SITTING THERE AFTER THEY'VE DROPPED OFF THEIR DELIVERY WITH EITHER IN EITHER LOCATION, EITHER THE NEW BUILDING OR THE ORIGINAL BUILDING.

THEY'LL PULL OUT, SIT ON THE STREET, USUALLY IN THE SHADE OF THE TREES, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES 30, 40 MINUTES, AND THEN THEY TAKE OFF.

SO THEY'RE TECHNICALLY NOT PARKED, BUT THEY SIT THERE FOR A LONG TIME AND IT CAUSES QUITE A BIT OF NOISE.

AND IT'S VERY DISTURBING.

SO ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE ADDING TO THAT TRAFFIC IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE ARE OPPOSED TO.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE CONSTRUCTION NOISE THAT COULD GO ON WITH THIS NEW ADDITION IS GOING TO BE DIRECTLY BEHIND OUR HOUSE, AND WE'RE NOT REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING THAT AT ALL ALONG WITH THE TRUCK NOISE.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE ARE ALSO OPPOSED TO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING TO US THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? IT IS 6:43.

I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

COMMISSIONERS HAVE HAD COMMENTS AND PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE HAVE ANY? I'D LIKE TO ASK THE APPLICANT.

HE'S RAISING HIS HAND, SO HE'S PROBABLY GOT WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING.

BUT I WAS JUST GOING TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS.

SO THE QUESTION REGARDING THE LENGTH OF CONSTRUCTION, THE CURRENT PLAN WOULD HAVE US BEGINNING SOMETIME IN DECEMBER AND PROBABLY LASTING 4 OR 5 MONTHS.

AND AGAIN, I WANT TO STRESS THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROJECT THAT INVOLVES INCREASED DELIVERIES, TRUCK TRAFFIC, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO EXACERBATE THAT, THAT SITUATION.

BUT IS IT COMMON TO HAVE TRUCKS THERE AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING? WE DON'T THE GATES DON'T EVEN OPEN TILL SEVEN, I DON'T THINK.

IF I CAN HAVE ALL THE COMMENTS DIRECTED TO THE COMMISSION, PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN CLOSED.

SO THIS IS REALLY JUST BETWEEN THE COMMISSION AND THE APPLICANT AT THIS POINT.

THANK YOU. MY NAME IS AMAN GUPTA.

DO I NEED THAT? YES, PLEASE.

5305 WALNUT LANE, COLLEYVILLE, TEXAS.

SO I'LL ADDRESS ALL THE ISSUES LIKE IN 2020 WHEN WE HAD THE TWO ALARM FIRE, WE CHANGED THE ONE WHICH CAUGHT FIRE.

THAT ALARM, THE ONE FIRE ONE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO THE LATEST TECH.

SO RIGHT NOW IF THERE IS A FIRE IT HAS A SELF EXTINGUISHING FEATURE INSIDE IT.

SO WE HAVE CHANGED THE EQUIPMENT INSIDE.

THAT WAS THE REASON OF THE FIRE BEFORE THAT.

SO WE HAVE ALREADY MODIFIED.

WE HAVE THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

THEY APPROVED THAT CHANGE.

REGARDING THE PARKING.

WE HAD SIGNS POSTED FOR NO PARKING BETWEEN 6 A.M.

AND I THINK SIX, 8 OR 9 P.M.

OUR WAREHOUSE, NOW CLOSED, OPENS AT SEVEN AND WE ARE DONE BY 4:30.

4:35, THAT'S OUR OPERATING HOURS FOR THE TRUCKS TO COME IN.

WE MADE THOSE CHANGES WHEN WE HAD THE PUBLIC HEARING IN 2019.

THEN REGARDING THE 45FT, IT'S ONLY A PORTION OF THE IF YOU CAN PULL UP THE DRAWING, IT'S ONLY A PORTION OF THE COLUMN.

IT'S NOT THE ENTIRE BUILDING IS NOT 45FT.

THERE ARE ONLY TWO.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IS THE WIDTH, BUT IT'S ONLY FOR THE TWO COLUMNS.

WE NEED THAT 45 TO ENCLOSE THE STRUCTURE BECAUSE OF THE WIND DAMAGE.

[00:45:04]

SO THAT'S THE ONLY THING.

WE ARE HAVING THE 45FT.

AND WE DID TALK TO THE FIRE MARSHAL AND HE CAME ON SITE TWICE AND WE HAD MADE ADJUSTMENTS.

WE'LL PUT A FIRE PUMP IN 2051 TO INCREASE THE WATER FLOW.

IN CASE OF FIRE, THERE IS A WATER PUMP.

I MEAN, WE HAVE PUT IN THE NOTES AND THEN, SO REGARDING THE ACCESS FOR 45FT, THERE IS A MODIFICATION.

THERE IS A I THINK THERE IS A DIFFERENT FIRE ENGINE WHICH CAN GO TO THAT HEIGHT.

SO IT WILL ALLOW THEM TO PARK ON THIS PROPERTY FOR THE FIRE AND I THINK, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTION I FORGOT, I THINK.

LET ME JUST ASK YOU JUST MENTIONED TRUCK DELIVERIES OR REMOVAL BETWEEN 7 AND 4:30.

SEVEN AND 4:30. SO I COULD DRIVE BY THERE AT 5:00 AND I'D SEE NO TRUCKS.

NO TRUCKS. WE HAVE IN CASE YOU HAVE, WE HAVE ALREADY TOLD ALL OUR BROKERS WE DON'T OPEN EARLY.

IN FACT, WE HAVE A MONITORING SYSTEM.

AND IF I SEE A TRUCK RIGHT NOW, WE TELL THEM, GO AWAY FROM HERE.

PARKING. IS THIS ALSO A MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY? MONDAY TO FRIDAY THERE IS NO SATURDAY, SUNDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY IS ONLY FOR MAINTENANCE OR SOME CASE WILL OPEN IN THE MORNING.

OKAY. AND I CAN GIVE YOU LIKE VIDEO RECORDING OF ANY DAY YOU WANT.

WE HAVE 24 HOUR SECURITY MONITORING FROM THE CAMERAS IN CASE YOU SEE A TRUCK PARKED.

THEY DRIVE THEM AWAY AT 5:00 OR 6:00.

WE GET WASTE MANAGEMENT, COME, TRUCKS COMES IN BECAUSE THEY CANNOT COME DURING NORMAL HOURS IN THE CITY TO PICK UP WASTE.

THAT IS THE ONLY TRUCK WHICH COMES AT BETWEEN SIX.

THEY COME IN, THEY PICK UP THE WASTE AND THEY GO AWAY.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY TRUCK WHICH COMES.

AND YOU'VE MET WITH THE BEDFORD FIRE MARSHAL ON TWO OCCASIONS.

TWO OCCASIONS TO DISCUSS THIS PROJECT.

OKAY. MR. CHAIRMAN, ARE WE ALLOWED TO ADDRESS ONE? THE ATTORNEY FOR MR. ZIMM, OR ARE WE CLOSED ON THAT? NO, WE'RE CLOSED ON THAT.

I DID WANT. THANK YOU.

I DID WANT TO REMIND AND CHECK WITH EACH OF THE COMMISSIONERS.

DID YOU RECEIVE IN YOUR EMAILS FROM STAFF THE LETTER FROM THE FIRE MARSHAL ADDRESSING, AS EVERYONE HAS SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, SEEING THAT OR HEARD THAT.

OKAY. AND HOW HE ADDRESSED THAT.

MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, THE FIRE MARSHAL IS HERE TONIGHT.

SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, CHIEF.

YES. DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT CHIEF? YES. I JUST I READ THE LETTER AND I READ IT MULTIPLE TIMES, AND I JUST LIKE TO, SINCE HE'S MET WITH THE APPLICANT TWICE.

AND SINCE HE'S THE THE EXPERT WHEN IT COMES TO FIRE, THAT'S A BIG WORD.

WELL, YOU'RE MORE EXPERT THAN ANYONE SITTING AT THIS AT THE DAIS.

NO, I READ YOUR LETTER, AND IN FACT, I READ IT MULTIPLE TIMES, AND I'M TRYING.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, BUT YOU SEE, WITH WITH THIS ADDITION, YOU SEE NO ADDITIONAL RISK.

WOULD THAT BE A FAIR WAY OF STATING IT, OR DO YOU WANT TO PUT IT IN? NO. YOU'RE RIGHT. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO JUMP UP AND BITE US OR WHATEVER.

THEY'RE ADDING ON TO THE BUILDING TO HOUSE THESE TWO NEW PIECES OF EQUIPMENT.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE A FULL SPRINKLER SYSTEM IN IT, JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE BUILDING DOES.

BOTH BUILDINGS THERE IS AMPLE WATER.

THERE'S A TEN INCH MAIN THAT ENCIRCLES THE NEW BUILDING.

THERE'S SEVEN FIRE HYDRANTS ON THE PROPERTY AS FAR AS ACCESS.

IT'S NOT CHANGING ANY OF THE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY.

WE CAN GET ALL KINDS OF FIRE TRUCKS ON THERE.

IN BOTH THE PREVIOUS FIRES, THERE WERE MORE THAN TWO FIRE TRUCKS PARKED ON THE PROPERTY.

NOW, THE FIRST ONE, WE HAD TO OPEN A GATE.

MANUAL GATE. GOT IT OPEN? NO PROBLEM. THEN EVERYBODY CAME OFF THE RELIANCE AND PARKED.

AND YOU RELY ON MUTUAL AID OR THE OTHER CITIES IF SO REQUIRED.

WE ARE A PART OF A 14 CITY JOINT RESPONSE.

OUR HAZMAT TEAM IS JOINT.

SO WITH THIS BUILDING WE WILL USE HAZMAT OBVIOUSLY JUST JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT'S THERE.

OKAY. SO YOU'VE HAD TWO CONVERSATIONS WITH THE APPLICANT AND YOU'VE BEEN OUT TO THE SITE AND LOOKED AT IT.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. ZIM OR OR HIS ATTORNEY? HIS ATTORNEY CALLED THIS AFTERNOON.

I'VE NOT TALKED TO MR. ZIM ABOUT THIS.

SO WE TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT NOT THIS.

SO SHE CALLED. DID YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION OR WAS IT JUST SHE CALLED AND YOU'RE GOING TO RETURN HER CALL? OH, I TALKED TO HIM.

THEY JUST HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT THEY HAD SENT IN THAT I'VE RESPONDED TO THAT YOU ALL HAVE.

RIGHT. OKAY, OKAY.

OKAY. CHIEF LANKFORD, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE? I'M IN MY 43RD YEAR.

OKAY. AND YOU'RE HERE IN THE CITY OF BEDFORD? CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

IN YOUR TIME HERE, THAT AREA HAS ALWAYS BEEN INDUSTRIAL.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES.

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 43 YEARS.

[00:50:01]

AND SO ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED TO BE SURE I WAS REMEMBERING.

YEAH, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN AS INDUSTRIAL AS FAR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.

OKAY. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? CHIEF LANGFORD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOUR OWN.

GO AHEAD. BRIAN. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'VE GOT OTHER CITIES, FIRE DEPARTMENTS HELPING OUT, WOULD THAT NORMALLY END UP WITH A COUPLE OF TRUCKS INSIDE AND THE REST OF THEM PARKED SOMEWHERE? WHAT WE WILL DO IS THE FIRST ON APPARATUS WILL GET THERE AND START MAKING AN ASSESSMENT, AND WE WILL BRING THEM IN AS NEEDED.

WE STAGE AWAY FROM THE SCENE SO IT DOESN'T CLUTTER UP.

IN THE EVENT THAT WE NEED TO BRING IN A SPECIALIZED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OR SOMETHING LATER ON.

THANK YOU.

AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. IS THE HEARING CLOSED? YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM.

IT IS. COMMISSIONERS.

THOUGHTS? OTHER QUESTIONS.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MR. CHAIR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.

TO CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING AN AMENDMENT TO THE BEDFORD FORUM PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

TO AMEND AN APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR EXISTING WAREHOUSE BUILDING, POLY COATS PRODUCTS LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS PLOT ONE, BLOCK SEVEN BEDFORD FORUM ADDITION PROPERTIES GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BEDFORD ROAD AND RELIANCE PARKWAY, COMMONLY KNOWN AS 2100 RELIANCE PARKWAY.

IN THIS REQUEST.

COMMISSIONERS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

PROJECTS APPROVED. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, FOR ATTENDING.

THANK YOU, FOLKS, FOR OUR PUBLIC HEARING.

IF THOSE, IF YOU FOLKS, YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY.

WE'LL STOP A MINUTE IF YOU DON'T.

BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENDANCE.
