south of proposed White Settlement Road applicant requests approval of the fero panther Island plinary plat DRC recommends disapproval of the panther Island plary plat for the following reasons failure for all Property Owners to sign the plat application or give permission for the plat failure to provide an improved traffic impact study analysis drainage study and water and wastewater study the additional reasons are identified in the staff report welcome yes sir good morning Mr chairman commissioners and uh City staff my name is Cody Brewer at kimley Horn uh 801 Cherry Street forward Texas 76102 uh we understand the comments that have been received to date and in order to process the various studies and clear the comments we'd like to request a 120-day extension or continuance okay happy to answer any questions you only have thank you very much Cody if you'll fill out a green form and turn it in for our all important public record thank thank you very much sir any questions for Mr Brewer okay thank you sir thank you okay uh at this point I would uh call on our I understand um attorney to I have a question is that appro up for the delay the request for the 120 day delay I would recommend you just do 30 days in accordance with two chapter 212 local government code so that would set them up for the next month okay Mr Brewer uh would that be acceptable sir yeah thank you um I think the hesitation I would have with that is that I don't think that we would have the studies uh approved by that point in time nor the comments um and so I think we would end up being on multiple agendas and continuing to be on City plan commission so I if it's within the rights of the city I think it would make sense to do 120 day extension or continuance okay okay thank you very very much sir chairman can I ask a question yes um could the applicant alternatively withdraw and just resubmit um I think the applicant uh I think there are other issues involved but I'll have the applicant answer that uh would you consider withdrawing and resubmitting I I think the hesitation on that would again be probably going through the application process again and the fees that are associated with that okay I don't believe we have the authority to give a 120-day continuance to an agenda item is that correct uh okay so so the request cannot be granted as stated so a withdrawal or a 30-day continuing seem to be our only options other than the staff recommendation that we simply deny the request yeah I exactly I don't think we're allowed to do 120 days that's understandable then I think a 30-day 30-day continuance can okay be an option yeah and I understand they can't get the the stud's done in 30 days that makes no sense um of course you can also conditionally approve or disapprove and they're still in the same position they've got they can come back whenever they choose and we've got 15 days to act on that uh revision or additional information they've provided okay that is another option sir is for us to conditionally disapprove the plat okay based on the comments and you to proceed with staff I think that's an acceptable alternative okay okay thank you very much yeah thank you thank you I believe we have some more speakers involved so please okay hey uh bo Kon I'm a property owner within the uh 300 ft of this request and we are just asking to deny the request um for various reasons uh number one being it doesn't include any rideways from throck Morton Fourth Street is encumbrance that's an existing rideway it takes away that doesn't include the h& report recommendations that have yet to even be voted on by the city uh it from what our what we understand it includes land owned by Union Pacific and trwd currently I don't even know if that's changed hands what was the process for that changing hands was there a public request for proposal on the trwd land for development so there's lots of questions that we have with what's going on here and we just kind of want to say deny it and then figure out after all those things are worked out where we go from there so this is going to get tied up and tied up and tied up we need this development to move forward Bo as a whole on Panther Island and this just kind of seems very strange to us so thank you oh you have just echoed I I think exactly what every commission member has said what appreciate it that there's a lot of questions that have to be answered down the line that's all we have thank you okay thank you very much sir and thank you for being here and expressing your uh information okay is there anyone else that would like to speak okay uh that being said I'm going to go ahead and close the public hearing and you've heard the uh uh recommendation uh I'll entertain discussion at this point okay it's a very very unusual case Okay chairman if it's timely I'd recommend disapproval of the Panther and preliminary plat for for the recent set forth by staff on PP 24009 okay second okay I have a motion for disapproval as outlined by staff uh by commissioner Davis no Graham I'm sorry commissioner Graham with a second by commissioner white okay Lynn if you'll call the vote please commissioner Tidwell yes commissioner Henderson yes commissioner Davis yes commissioner melor yes commissioner keran yes commissioner Turner yes commissioner white yes commissioner Scott may I clarify this is the recommendation of disapproval correct okay I'm I'm no okay commissioner CR yes commissioner Graham yes and chairman Bourne yes okay the motion for disapproval is uh [Music]
