[1. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ]
WITH LIBERTY.HMM? UM, I WAS RAISED UP THAT WAY.
IN POLITICS, YOU KNOW, IN THOSE DAYS, IN THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES, WE WERE ALL DEMOCRATS.
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT, HARRY? WELL, WHEN I WAS RAISED UP, IT WAS THE CONFEDERATE WAR.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO CALL IT.
THEY CALL IT THE WAR OR SOUTHERN AGGRESSION.
[2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES ]
APPROVAL OF MINUTES.EVERYBODY HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE MINUTES? YES.
VISITOR COMMENTS, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, I GUESS WE CAN SKIP THAT STEP.
WE HAVE ONE VISITOR LAYING DOWN.
YEAH, SHE ALREADY SAID HER DATE.
ANYBODY THAT SPEAKS, MAKE SURE YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
[4. FINAL REVIEW AND ACTION ON SITE PLAN OF THE NEW HOPE CHURCH LOCATED AT 333 FM 2004 FILED ON FEBRUARY 4, 2025.]
ITEM, FINAL REVIEW AND ACTION ON SITE PLAN OF NEW HOPE CHURCH LOCATED AT 3 33 FM 2004, FILED ON 3 4 20 OR 2 4 25.OH, THIS IS FINAL REVIEW FOR LANDSCAPING PLAN.
UH, WHAT CAN I SAY? THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY.
UH, THEY COMPLIED WITH EVERYTHING THAT THERE IS TO COMPLY WITH AS FAR AS THE SITE.
EVERYTHING MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS.
UH, THERE AREN'T ANY THINGS THAT ARE, THEY'RE MISSING.
THEY'RE JUST PRIMARILY, UH, THE ONLY MAJOR CHANGE THERE THAT THEY ARE DOING IS, UH, CLOSING, UH, PROPOSING TO CLOSE THE, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'VE DONE IT YET OR NOT.
BUT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO CLOSE THE SWIMMING POOL THERE AND THEN TURN THAT INTO ADDITIONAL PARKING.
UH, BUT IT WAS ORIGINALLY PARKING.
AND THEN WE DECIDED THAT WITH AN AUDITORIUM, BOTH A SWIMMING POOL AND A HOT TUB, THAT IT WOULD SERVICE OUR MEMBERS BETTER.
BUT IT WAS ORIGINALLY PARKING RIGHT NEXT TO THE BUILDING.
I SAW IT ON THE PLANS THAT WAY.
SO WE WENT BACK AGAIN TO THAT STAGE.
UH, THEIR, UH, THEIR PARKING, UH, COMPLIES WITH THE, WITH THE PROPOSED, UH, UH, SEATING THAT THEY, THAT THEY HAVE IN THAT FACILITY, OR THAT THEY WILL HAVE THAT FACILITY.
SO THAT COMPLIES WITH THAT ONE.
AND THAT IS WITHOUT EVEN THAT ADDITIONAL PARKING THAT IS AVAILABLE, UH, TO THEM, IF, YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANT TO BREAK THE LAW WITH THE LANS
BUT, BUT THE WHOLE PROBLEM, THE WHOLE SIDE ITSELF IS, IS, YOU KNOW, MAKES IT ON, ON ITS OWN MERIT.
NOW THERE'S NO CHANGES INTO THE UTILITIES BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT SAYING ANYTHING ON, ON THAT PARTICULAR DEAL THERE.
BECAUSE WE BUILT IN THE BEGINNING EVERY TREE SHRUB THAT WE NEEDED TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MET THE CITY ORDINANCES.
NOTHING HARRY? UH, JUST YOUR SIGNAGE PROBABLY WILL BE ON THE BUILDING.
YOU'RE ALLOWED ONE SIGN ON THE GROUND.
DO I HAVE TWO FRONTAGES? SO YOU CAN DO IT BY FRONTAGE? I BELIEVE SO, YES.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE FIRST, FIRST METHODIST.
WELL, FIRST METHODIST, AND THEY'RE BUILT ONE AND THEY'RE YON AND ISAIAH.
IS THAT TWO FRONTAGES? I BELIEVE SO.
I THINK IF YOU ARE DEALING WITH A FARM TO MARKET ROAD LIKE 2004, IF YOU THINK IT'S BOTH, THAT'S, THAT'S BETTER.
I THINK I JUST WANT HIM TO BE AWARE OF IT.
WHERE'S HERING RIGHT NOW? NICOLE IS SO FAST THAT SHE CAN FIND IT.
WE CAN SEE HER NOW THAT Y'ALL DON'T HAVE THOSE BIG ONE.
THAT WAS ONE CHANGE THAT WE HAVE HERE.
I'M LOOKING A LOT BETTER OVER HERE.
[00:05:01]
ONE HASN'T IMPROVED.THEY'RE MOSTLY BUSINESS SITES.
I THINK THE SIZE, THUS HAVE A COM.
DEPENDING ON THE SPEED OF THE, OF THE HIGHWAY FRONT END, DEPENDING ON THE, ON THE, ON THE, UH, ON THE SPEED OF THE, OF THAT HIGHWAY.
HARRY, WE HAVE THREE ENTRANCES TO 3 33.
THE IN INTERSECTION ONE IS ON THE FIRST ENTRANCE TO 2004.
WE HAVE THREE ENTRANCES OFF OF PRETTY, UH, BUSY INTERSECTION.
IF YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT NOW, BUT IF YOU CAN, IF THERE IS A CONCERN, WE'LL CHECK IF HE'S LIMITED, LET HIM KNOW.
AND THAT'S, AND HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU FOR, FOR POSTER, STEREO, WHATEVER.
WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK AT THE REQUIREMENTS BEFORE WE I BE START MAKING.
OH, I'M SAYING I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO GET YOUR HOPES UP.
AND THEN THOSE CITY PEOPLE, OH, HIS HOPES, UH, ARE WELL DESERVED.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING, THEY'RE SUCCESSFUL.
THEY'LL PROBABLY PUT A SPIRE AND THEN YOU'LL KNOW.
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
UH, BUT I'M VERY HAPPY, YOU KNOW, I'M, UH, PRETTY SICK AND, UH, IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO SELL.
AND WHEN WE MADE THE DEAL, IT WAS GOOD FOR ME AND GOOD FOR Y'ALL.
AND NOW I'M JUST SO SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR CREATING, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER MEGA CHURCH IN LAKE JACKSON.
I'VE LOOKED AT YOUR OTHER FACILITIES AND I'M IMPRESSED.
AND I HAVE A SON THAT WON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO PEARLAND.
I KNOW A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT GO UP TO PERIAN.
I THINK THERE'S 150 PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SAID THEY WOULD TRANSFER FROM OUR EXISTING.
AND MOST OF 'EM LIVE IN NORTHWOOD.
ONE MORE SIGN, COMMENT ON THE SIGN IS ANIMATED SIGNS YOU PROBABLY WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM.
THERE'S SOME, IS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S A WASTE OF MONEY.
WE HAD ONE OF THE MUSEUM AND IT USED TO BE THAT YOU COULD ONLY, YOU COULDN'T CHANGE EXCEPT FOR EVERY MINUTE AND PEOPLE KEPT LOOKING OVER THERE.
UH, I DUNNO, IT'S 15 SECONDS OR SOMETHING, BUT YEAH.
THAT, THAT SOUNDS DO WE HAVE A MOTION? SENSIBLE.
I MOVE TO ACCEPT FINAL REVIEW AND ACTION ON SITE PLAN OF A NEW HOPE CHURCH LOCATED AT 3 33 FM 2004.
[5. FINAL REVIEW AND ACTION ON LANDSCAPE PLAN OF THE NEW HOPE CHURCH LOCATED AT 333 FM 2004 FILED ON FEBRUARY 4, 2025.]
PROPERTY LANDSCAPE.AND, UH, I'LL LET, UH, NICOLE TAKE OVER THAT, THIS ONE BECAUSE SHE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS VERY IMPRESSED BY THE, BY THE LANDSCAPER.
I THINK HE SHOWS A, UM, THEY RESPONDED QUICKLY TO THE LAST COMMENT THAT WAS PROVIDED ABOUT ADDING ADDITIONAL SCREENING FROM THE LAST MEETING.
AND THROUGH THE SCREENING TREES, AND EVEN SENT ALONG THE EXISTING SHRUB SCREENING IN THE FRONTAGE, THEY ADJUSTED THE ONE COMMENT THAT, UM, MR.
HE INADVERTENTLY HAD THIS ONE HERE, SO HE JUST SHOWED THE ONE THAT'S EXISTING THERE, WHICH IS STILL THERE.
AND THE TREE COUNTS ARE ADDED UP, UP HERE TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT.
UM, SO WHAT'S DIFFERENT NOW IS IT'S NO LONGER AN ALTERNATE PLAN AS A STRAIGHT UP FOLLOWS THE ORDINANCE PLAN.
AND, UM, THEY HAVE THOSE SCREENING TREES LISTED
I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT WE WERE NOT IN COMPLIANCE.
THEY MAY HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN.
WELL, SIR
[00:10:01]
NO.OKAY, GARY, I, I STILL QUESTION THE NECESSITY OF EVERY 30 FEET.
UH, I, I THINK IT'S EXCESSIVE AND, UH, IT'S NOT REALLY SERVING MUCH OF A PURPOSE, UH, AS FAR AS BLOCKING LIGHT OVER TO AN AREA THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DEVELOPED BY THE MASTER PLAN.
AND IT'S JUST A LOT OF MONEY BEING SPENT BY A CHURCH THAT COULD USE OTHER THINGS.
SHOW ME WHERE HEARING RIGHT AT THE VERY FRONTAGE OF THE OKAY.
AT THE FRONTAGE, RIGHT? SO WE'VE GOT ALL THOSE SHRUGGED ON 2000 AND FOOT, RIGHT? AND YOU'VE GOT THE FEW TREES YOU'VE ALREADY HAD.
WE'VE GOT, AND WHAT IS YOUR ISSUE? I DON'T THINK THEY NEED TO SPEND THE MONEY FOR THOSE EXTRA TREES EVERY 30 FEET.
I DON'T THINK THIS EVER PURPOSE.
HOW MANY WERE ASKED? 3, 6, 9, 10, 11.
THE ORDINANCE CALLS FOR EVERY 30 FEET TO HAVE SCREENING TREES.
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU, DURING THESE STORMS, WE'VE CERTAINLY LOST TREES.
AND, AND THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE HAVE TO, WE, WE NEED, WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK TO THIS BODY HERE CONCERNING SOME OF THE RULES THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING, THAT THE STORMS NOW HAVE SHOWN TO, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE, I MEAN, OF THE STORMS THAT BROUGHT ALL THOSE TREES DOWN, NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TRY TO MAKE THOSE PEOPLE COMPLY WITH REPLACING THOSE THINGS.
AND UH, DO YOU THINK IT IS A UNJUST THAT YOU THINK IS JUST ABOUT NO, I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT HERE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE RUNNING ACROSS.
ALL THOSE NEW REDEVELOPMENTS THAT HAPPEN, UH, EVERY TIME THAT ANYONE WANTS TO REDEVELOP A SITE THERE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE EXISTING TREES THERE.
AND THIS IS WHAT THEY CAME BACK LAST TIME WITH, UH, EDDIE AND, UH, AND NICOLE.
THEY'RE TRYING TO GAUGE YOUR OPINION.
YEAH, MATT MAN HAD AGREEMENT WITH EVERYBODY BUT MYSELF.
SO I JUST WANNA BRING, THIS IS ONE THAT WE ALSO HAD QUESTIONS ON, ON THE 30 FOOT SPACE.
AND I, YOU KNOW, OTHER PLACES I THINK THAT MAY BE TRUE, BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, I DON'T THINK IT'S JUSTIFIED.
AND IT COULD VERY WELL BE LEFT TO YOU TO THIS BODY THAT'S RIGHT.
TO MAKE DECISIONS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS IN THE FUTURE.
ANYTHING ELSE? WE NEVER LOST A TREE THAT WE WANTED TO.
YOU LOST ONE THAT WAS NEXT TO YOU THAT WASN'T YOURS.
YOU TALKING ABOUT THE BIG ONE? YEAH.
OH, THE BIG ONE WENT DOWN DURING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT STORM.
UH, HAR AT MILL WAS HUGE AND IT WENT DOWN.
AND NOW, UH, BILL BLOCK IS, UM, PRETTY CLEAR.
YOU WANT TO BUY IT, HARRY? NO, I'VE GOT ENOUGH.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MOVE TO ACCEPT FINAL REVIEW AND ACTION ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN OF THE NEW HOPE CHURCH LOCATED AT 3 33 FM 2004.
WE HAVE A MOTION? WE HAVE A SECOND.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
YOU DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY TO PLANT MORE TREES? RIGHT? OKAY.
IT'S CHEAPER FOR THE NEW HOPE CHURCH.
[6. SIGNATURE OF DOCUMENTS ]
SIGNATURES THAT WE MAKE TODAY.[7. ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST]
INTEREST.HERE I NOTICED, UH, A HOUSE THAT HAD BURNED AND IT'S BEEN REBUILT.
IT IS ON MAGNOLIA AND THE FRONTAGE ROAD.
AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT THEY STILL HAVE A FENCE IN THE FRONT YARD AND IT COMES PAST THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING LINE.
SO I THINK THE INSPECTOR PROBABLY WOULD SAY, THAT'S NOT LEGAL.
WE WILL TAKE THAT ON TO SEE WHAT IT'S, THAT IT, YEAH, THAT'S IT.
MATTHEW, HOW ARE MY FAVORITE APARTMENT COMPLEXES DOING BEHIND? SHOULD HAVE SAID ANYTHING.
I DROVE BACK THERE THE OTHER DAY.
I SAW THEY HAD A LINE OF PEOPLE PULLING IN THIS MORNING.
IT'S QUITE ENTERTAINING LOOKING AT IT.
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING, SO I'M, I'M GUESSING THAT THEY'RE JUST BARELY GETTING BACK TO MOVING AROUND.
UM, THE WEATHER HASN'T BEEN COOPERATING.
IT'S BEEN REALLY NASTY AS FAR AS, UH, OUTDOOR CONSTRUCTION WORK IS GOING.
[00:15:01]
MY CONTRACTORS ARE FACING THE SAME THING.THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MOVE SINCE, UH, A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
UM, THEY'RE JUST PIDDLING AROUND AND TRYING TO CATCH THOSE SUNNY DAYS TO ACTUALLY WORK.
IF IT'S TOO COLD, YOUR LIME, ANYTHING TO DO WITH, UH, CEMENT WON'T SEW UP.
AND, UH, THOSE GUYS ARE DOING ROCK AND MASONRY STUFF.
SO IF THEY WERE WORKING, IT WOULD'VE BEEN INSIDE INDOORS ONLY.
HOW'S YOUR SYCAMORE JOB GOING? SYCAMORE JOB IS SLOW.
WELL, IT'S BEHIND SCHEDULE AND IT'S SLOWLY FALLING FURTHER BACK.
I MEAN, THEY'RE THERE, THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN, BUT THEY CAN'T POUR CONCRETE BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE'S NOT WARM ENOUGH.
SO WE HAVE TO HOLD THEM OFF OF THAT.
THEY, THEY TAKE CARE OF THINGS.
THEY'RE RESPONSIVE WHEN PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THEY'RE NOT THAT'S GOOD OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE DOING SOMETHING ELSE.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE THERE DOING WHAT THEY CAN.
UM, WHAT ARE THE PIPES ON YOUR POND? THAT, SO THOSE ARE, UH, THEY'RE GOING TO, UH, PIPE BURSTS.
THAT'S, UH, NICOLE'S PROJECT THAT SHE'S GOT OUT, UH, FOR LIFT STATION 23 AND 24.
THEY'RE GONNA REPLACE THE FORCE MAINS THAT GO THROUGH THERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED, BUT JUST BEFORE BANYAN OR, OR BETWEEN BANYAN AND, UH, THE NEXT STREET UP THERE, OR, OR NOT, MAYBE NOT BANYAN, UH, RAIN TREE AND I, I, THERE AND SOUTHERN OAKS.
THERE'S A, THERE'S A BARRICADE THERE WHERE THE SIDEWALKS BEEN TORN OUT.
THAT WAS, UH, ONE OF THE CAINS THAT THEY FOUND ON THAT LINE.
AND WHEN THEY STARTED LOOKING AT THAT LINE, IT'S, IT'S PAPER THIN ON TOP.
IT'S ABOUT TO JUST FALL APART COMPLETELY.
SO, UM, PUBLIC WORKS ASKED NICOLE TO DRAW UP SOME PLANS FOR THEM TO REPLACE ALL THAT PIPE.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING OUT THERE.
THE GUYS WENT OUT AND FILMED EVERYTHING AND NOW THEY'RE LAYING PIPE DOWN AND THEY'LL FUSE IT ALL TOGETHER AND COME IN ONE DAY AND PUT IN ABOUT A THOUSAND FOOT A DAY UNTIL THEY GET DONE.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO IT AS AN INSERT.
WELL, THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE IT IS TRENCHLESS.
UM, THEY'RE GONNA BURST THE PIPE FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND PULL THE NEW PIPE THROUGH.
AND THEY'LL DO IT WITHIN, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO DIG THE DITCH.
SO THAT'S, UH, HOPEFULLY LESS INTRUSIVE THERE IN THAT AREA, BUT, WE'LL, WE'LL SEE HOW IT WORKS.
I MEAN, IF IT DOESN'T, IF IT WORKS WELL, THEN YOU WON'T NOTICE IT.
AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE HOLES ALL OVER THE PLACE,
BUT, UH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA GIVE IT A GOOD, UH, A GOOD, UH, UH, GIVE IT A SHOT.
THEY'RE A GOOD CONTRACTOR AND THEY'VE WORKED FOR US BEFORE, SO IT SHOULDN'T BE, I DON'T EXPECT ANY ISSUES WITH THAT.
UM, ANIMAL SHELTER SEEMS TO BE MAKING HEADWAY.
WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT TODAY.
THE SPCA SHELTER IS MOVING OUR ANIMAL SHELTER.
SO WE'VE GOT A, WE'VE GOT A OFFICIALLY GET A, A NOTICE TO PROCEED AND, AND WRAP UP ALL THE, THE, THE INITIAL SUBMITTALS AND REVIEWS AND STUFF.
AND THEN WE'LL BE MOVING FULL STEAM AHEAD.
UM, THE ANIMAL SHELTER IS, IS MOVING FAIRLY QUICKLY.
UH, THEY DID DO, I WAS OUT THERE SATURDAY.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMING ALONG.
THEY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE GRADING.
UH, SO IT LOOKS, I I, THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO TAKE A STEP BACK.
THEY, THEY DIDN'T PUT THE WATER IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
THEY SHOVED IT OUT TO THE ROAD INSTEAD OF TAKING IT TO THE DITCH.
SO THEY, THE, THE ENGINEER MIGUEL, UH, WITH BAKER AND LAWSON IS WORKING ON A FIX TO CAPTURE THAT WATER, TRYING TO REDUCE THE IMPACT TO THE, TO THE SPCA, UH, AS FAR AS THEIR POCKETBOOK.
UM, SO HE'S WORKING ON THAT AND WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT PLAN SO WE CAN APPROVE IT AND GET THEM BACK TO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT, I MEAN, THERE'S JUST NOT A LOT GOING ON BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.
UM, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PEOPLE INTERESTED IN MOVING INTO LAKE JACKSON.
WE'VE GOT A, WE'VE HAD SOME MEETINGS RECENTLY WITH THE, ANOTHER COLLISION, UH, AUTOMOTIVE COLLISION REPAIR SHOP.
UM, YEAH, THEY WERE, THEY WERE LOOKING THAT MADE YOU LAUGH.
UH, BUT APPARENTLY IT WAS ALREADY UNDER CONTRACT BY THE TIME THEY TRIED TO MOVE ON IT.
SO NOW THEY'RE LOOKING AT A PROPERTY BEHIND TARGET ON 2004.
IT'S CHICKEN EXPRESS NEXT DAY.
THEY'RE THE ONES BIDDING AGAINST US THEN.
WE PUT A BID ON THAT PROPERTY LIKE THREE WEEKS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY WON'T, THEY WON'T ACCEPT A FINAL BID UNTIL 90 DAYS AFTER ACCEPTING OTHER BIDS.
[00:20:01]
UM, I'M VOTING NOOH, AND THEN THERE'S, UH, OH MAN.
WHAT IS, IS THAT ONE CALLED TAKE MAN? THEY'RE GONNA WIN THAT ONE.
THIS IS A, THEY GOT MORE MONEY THAN WE GOT.
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT THERE.
YEAH, RIGHT THERE BESIDE THE VALERO.
THERE'S A, THERE'S A, AN ENGINEERING FIRM THAT'S ASKING TO HAVE A, UM, PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING WITH US HERE TO DISCUSS CARVING OUT AN OUT PARCEL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT THERE.
WHERE, WHERE NICOLE'S WAVING HER CURSOR.
UM, THEY, IT'S WEIRD THE SHAPE THAT THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE SOME ISSUES.
THEY'VE GOT SIGNAGE ISSUES BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT TAKING OUT THE ENTIRE CORNER.
THEY'RE, THEY WANNA STAY INSIDE OF THAT PARKING LOT, SO WE'LL HAVE TO DISCUSS A LOT OF THINGS WITH THEM.
UH, BUT IT'S MOSTLY UNPAVED AREA.
THERE'S A, A GREEN ISLAND THERE.
UM, IF THEY COME IN, THEY WILL HAVE TO MEET THE LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL GET SOME GREEN BACK.
IT'S, IT'S RIGHT THERE WHERE THAT STREET LIGHT IS.
UM, HAS VALERO COME AND TALK TO YOU GUYS YET ABOUT THEIR REBUILD? NO.
I WALKED IN ON THEIR CORPORATE MEETING THE OTHER DAY.
UM, WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE, NICOLE? GOOD JOB THERE.
IT, IT, IT IS NICE IF WE CAN GET PEOPLE UNDER CONTROL OVER THERE AT NIGHT.
YOU MEAN THERE'S A CAMERA THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT DOWNTOWN? NO.
YOU DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE CAMERA.
THAT'S P THAT'S P'S CAMERA TOWER.
WHAT WERE YOU POINTING AT IN THAT FIELD? OH, UH, SO RASCO IS COMING IN FOR A NEW STACKING LANE.
THEY'RE FINALLY, UM, FEELING SOME DISCOMFORT WITH THE STACKING THEMSELVES.
SO THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE COMING IN TO DISCUSS IT WITH US.
THEY'VE, UH, COME OUT WITH A SMALL LITTLE STACKING LANE THAT WE KIND OF GIGGLED AMONGST OURSELVES AT.
AND TODAY THEY SENT OUT A NEW DESIGN THAT ACTUALLY WRAPS AROUND THE ENTIRE BUILDING AND COMES BACK TO THE EXISTING PARKING LOT.
IN SOME WAYS IT DOESN'T, BUT WE'LL, WE'VE GOT A MEETING WITH THEM NEXT WEEK TO DISCUSS IT.
OR IS IT LATER THIS WEEK? THAT'S ALL OF THEIR PROPERTY BEHIND THERE, ISN'T IT? YEAH.
THEY'VE GOT, THEY'VE GOT, UH, PLENTY OF LAND OUT THERE.
THEY GOT A CHUNK OF, THAT'S ONE OF THE LARGER CHUNKS THEY HAVEN'T TOUCHED YET, IF NOT THE LARGEST.
I NOTICED THEY CHANGED THAT, THAT THEY DON'T TAKE 'EM OUT THE FRONT DOOR ANYMORE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THIS YEAR OR LAST YEAR, BUT ACTUALLY YOU CAN SEE THE CARS LINED UP.
MY KIDS WENT OUT THE SIDE WHEN THEY WERE THERE.
MAYBE WE CAN'T DO IT THE WAY IT USED TO BE DONE.
THERE WAS A CHANGE AND I GUESS THEY WERE DOING AN INTERMEDIATE, UH, SOLUTION.
AT ONE POINT THE, THIS WAS THE SCHOOL BUS SIDE.
THE PARENTS WERE PICKING UP IN THE FRONT.
OH, THEY DIDN'T USE TO STACK UP SCHOOL BUSES THERE AND THEY DON'T SHOW THERE.
THERE'S, THEY GO ON THE FRONT.
YEAH, THAT'S, THEY HAD TO SWITCH 'CAUSE THEY RAN OUTTA ROOM.
SO THAT'S, UH, THAT'S COMING AROUND HERE PRETTY SOON.
WE'LL, WE'LL SEE WHAT THESE, UH, BUT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT STACKING LINES.
UH, YEAH, THEY, THEY'VE, UM, THEY CAME AND ASKED FOR, UH, SURVEY DATA, OLD PLANS CLOSE TO A YEAR AGO, AROUND A YEAR AGO NOW.
AND SO THE ENGINEERS HAVE COME UP WITH A FEW DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF DESIGNS THERE.
AND, AND NOW THERE'S AN ENGINEERING FIRM THAT WANTS TO ACTUALLY COME AND SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS IT WITH US AND MAKE SURE THEY WOULDN'T JUST MAKE THAT A TWO LANE.
UH, NO, I MEAN, NOT THE WAY THOSE PEOPLE DRIVE THE QUANTITY OF CARS THAT EVEN, EVEN IF YOU MADE THAT, WHAT THEY HAVE THERE, TWO LANE, YOU COULDN'T GET OFF OF THE ROAD.
SO YOU WOULD BE, YOU'D BE DOING, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING POSITIVE, BUT YOU WOULDN'T MEET THE STACKING REQUIREMENT THAT, THAT, THAT YOU SET
YOU GUYS ACTUALLY RESEARCHED IT AND SET A REQUIREMENT FOR STACKING LANES.
WHAT ELSE, EDDIE? UM, THAT'S ABOUT ALL I'VE GOT.
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO YOUR TREES YET.
IT'S, IT'S IN THE QUEUE, BUT WE HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH QUITE, UH, QUITE A FEW SPECIFICATION BOOKS HERE LATELY.
[00:25:01]
GET, UH, SOME WORK OUT.WE'RE TRYING TO START DOING MORE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS.
SO INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO OUT FOR EMERGENCY RE RE REPAIRS QUITE OFTEN WE'RE TRYING TO CUT THAT BACK TO WHERE WE CAN HAVE SOMEBODY ON STANDBY TO COME IN AND DO THESE EMERGENCY REPAIRS.
AT A PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON PRICE, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT EACH TIME.
IT HELPS US DO IT FASTER AND IT HELPS US GET A BETTER PRICE WHEN THOSE EMERGENCIES POP UP.
BUT, UH, SO WE'RE REVIEWING SPECIFICATIONS AND PLANS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF EMERGENCY REPAIRS FOR SEWER AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UM, AND THEN WE'VE GOT A FEW PROJECTS IN THE, IN THE WORKS.
WE'VE GOT A BIG STREET PANEL REPLACEMENT PROJECT THAT WE'RE REVIEWING AND WORKING WITH THE ENGINEER ON.
UH, THERE'S A PARKS BATHROOM PROJECT.
UH, THE NEXT TWO PARKS TO GET BATHROOMS ARE GONNA BE JUNIOR SERVICE LEAGUE AND GARLAND PARK.
SO WE'RE REVIEWING PLANS FOR THESE.
HEY, GARLAND PARK SHARED WILL HAVE A BATHROOM NOW.
IT'S HER FAVORITE PARK NOW THAT, THAT'S THE SHIP, RIGHT? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
SO THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE BEING WORKED ON.
THE STATE IS STILL TRYING TO ACQUIRE THE GOLF COURSE ENTRANCE FROM US.
UH, WE'VE SWITCHED OVER INTO, UH, WETLAND, UH, REVIEW MODE.
SO WE, WE'VE GOTTA WAIT ON THAT INFORMATION TO, TO, TO KEEP WORKING WITH THE STATE.
THE STATE'S WAITING ON US TO FIND OUT WHAT THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS GONNA REQUIRE SO THAT THEY CAN, UH, COMPENSATE US OR, OR MAKE AN OFFER OF COMPENSATION.
UM, ANY MOVEMENT ON OUR MINI TRUCK? STOP THE, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING.
THAT'S THE 2004 AND THREE TWO.
THEY PAID FOR WHAT OTHER TRUCK STOP? DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
THEY HAVEN'T PICKED UP PERMITS CONTINGENT ON T.
SO EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THEIR PERMIT, IF THEY BUILD IT AND TXDOT SAYS NO, THEY DON'T GET A CO
SO YEAH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE HOLDING OFF.
UM, JUST YOU SELL IT TO ME FOR CHEAPER.
I GUESS THERE'S NOT, UH, NOT MUCH ELSE.
IS THERE ANY DATE ON THAT 3 32? NO, IT'S, UH, THE LAST WE HEARD IT WAS UP IN THE 28TH, 29 TIMEFRAME.
THEY'RE DOING THE LAND TAKING NOW.
SO IT'S, THEY'RE, THAT'S THE REASON WHY THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE BUYING PROPERTY.
THEY, THEY BOUGHT TWO MORE HOUSES OUT THERE IN RIGS OAKS.
THEY JUST GOTTA GET THE LAST, THAT ONE MIX OF STORAGE UNITS, THE LAST ONE THEY'RE GOING AFTER.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE ACTIVE ON THAT.
OH, THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GONNA, I'S GONNA BE GNARLY.
AND THE ONLY OTHER THING, EDDIE, IS THE, UH, THAT THERE IS A, UH, AN OFFICER THAT WAS MADE ON THE ALDEN PROPERTY.
WHICH PROPERTY? ON THE ALDEN, THE AIRPORT PROPERTY.
I'M READY TO FIGHT AT THAT ONE.
SO WE DON'T KNOW HOW THIS OTHER MAYOR'S WORKING ON IT AND UH, YOU KNOW, SO HE'S THE ONLY ONE IN THOSE PARTICULARS.
THAT'S GONNA BE A, WE'LL NOT HAVE A REPEAT OF ATCH.
IT'S GONNA BE, UH, INTERESTING.
COUNCIL COUNCILPERSON SETH HERE MAY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN, UM, THAT'S THE LAST FRONTIER, MAN.
UH, SO TALKING TO THE MAYOR, VERY PROMISING THAT THEY ARE, UH, A GO AND WILLING TO ACCLIMATE TO WHAT WE WANT.
WE'LL, WE'LL KNOW MORE WHEN IT'S DONE.
WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF ENGINEERING DONE TWICE SO FAR.
WE HAVE FIRE HYDRANTS OUT THERE.
WE'RE GETTING POOPED ON BY COWS.
I LIKE THAT NICKNAME THAT WE HAVE.
AND SO WE WANNA BE VERY CAREFUL WITH WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
I'LL MAKE THAT MY CHAPEL HILL SISTER.
IT'S GOING DOWN ON THAT PROPERTY IS SO I THINK WE'VE PUT A LOT INTO THE MASTER PLAN ON THAT PROFIT.
AND THEN THEY WANTED LIKE 48% ZERO PROPERTY LINE SMOKING CRACK,
IS THAT THE MASTER PLAN WHEN YOU WERE CHAIRMAN HERE? MM-HMM
IT'S PROBABLY STILL THE SAME 2008 OR 10 SOMEWHERE.
WELL, THERE WAS ONE THAT THAT LOT WAS IN.
YEAH, THAT WAS WHAT, 2015 OR SOMETHING? YEAH, IT'S LOOKED AT LIKE EVERY FIVE OR SEVEN YEARS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE LAST HUNK.
[00:30:03]
ANYTHING ELSE EDDIE START TOWARDS JONES CREEK, SIR? NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF UNLESS OF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT YEAH.DID YOU TALK ABOUT THE, UH, BUILDING OVER THERE NEAR CHICKEN EXPRESS THAT, UH, WAS THE COSMETIC SURGERY OR SUCH AND IS YEAH, THAT HASN'T MOVED.
UH, PLANTS, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO PERMITS ISSUED.
THE PLACE IS GETTING MOLD ON IT STILL HASN'T OPENED A DOOR YET.
NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, UH, THAT PROPERTY THERE THAT UH, HAS A BUNCH OF BRAND NEW SIGNS ON.
HAVE YOU NOTICED THOSE? YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA.
YEAH, I WAS KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.
WE TOLD TO GET A, AN EMAIL, A QUESTION FROM, FROM AN EX COWORKER OF HERS, UH, ABOUT SOME PROPERTY IN OAKWOOD, UH, P SUBDIVISION THERE.
AND THEY JUST HAD SOME GENERAL QUESTIONS AND SHE ANSWERED THEM AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S SIGNS GOING UP AND THE GROUNDBREAKING OH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THIS CORNER? YEAH, THAT'S PROPERTY THERE.
I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER ONE.
THEY CALL IT A MICRO MICRO HOSPITAL.
IT'S ACTUALLY, IT'S AN ER WITH THE MICRO HOSPITAL, MEANING THEY CAN KEEP PATIENTS FOR A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME.
SO IT'S NOT QUITE A FULL HOSPITAL.
SHE TOLD US IT WAS JUST FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
WAS THAT THE, IT'S KIND OF, I WAS THINKING THAT, BUT IT'S NOT LITTLE PC THERE, SO I SEE.
WAS THAT THE ORIGINAL PLAN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? IT IS THE ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THAT.
I, WELL, SO I KNOW THEY WERE ASKED, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT LAST NIGHT.
THEY WERE ASKED TO TAKE THE SIGN BACK DOWN BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLAN.
THERE'S NO PERMIT PERMIT, THERE'S NO NOTHING WITH THE CITY.
SO THEY WERE ASKED TO TAKE THIS DOWN, I BELIEVE UNTIL THE APPROPRIATE STEP BEEN TAKEN.
BUT THAT IS THE, THAT IS THE SETTLE.
BUT IN THE MEDICAL COMMITTEE HOSPITAL COMING IN.
SO WE MIGHT ACTUALLY GET A HOSPITAL IN THE AREA FINALLY.
I THINK THAT WAS SARCASTIC BILLS.
MY MOM'S BEEN THERE THE LAST WEEK AND IT'S, THEY'VE BEEN WONDERFUL.
WELL, WHY NOT GET, DID THEY ALREADY TAKE SOME TREES DOWN OVER THERE? HAVE THEY ALREADY DROPPED TREES IN THAT CORNER? NO.
I WAS HOPING OUR NEW LOG WOULD GET 'EM.
SO THIS ONE THAT DOES HAVE THE SIGN, THAT'S ANOTHER URGENT CARE MICRO HOSPITAL.
THAT'S THE MICRO HOSPITAL THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
OH, WAS THAT ONE? I THOUGHT IT WAS THE OTHER ONE.
NO, THE OTHER ONE WAS GONNA BE, UH, SOME, SOME DOCTOR'S OFFICES.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A, A, A SMALL SURGICAL CENTER, BUT NONE OF THAT EVER HAPPENED.
I THINK IT WAS GONNA BE NEUROGENICS.
AND THE CREDIT UNION IS STILL GOING, THEY'RE STILL MOVING FORWARD.
THEY HAVE LITERALLY ONE PIECE AT A TIME.
OH, WELL THAT'S GONNA BE A LOT LESS SQUARE FOOTAGE THAN WHAT THEY HAVE NOW, RIGHT? YEAH.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO LOAN ABOUT NOTHING OUT THERE BESIDES STRICTLY CHECKS AND DEPOSIT.
YEAH, APPARENTLY THEY'RE ALREADY MOVING STUFF BECAUSE AUSTRALIA WAS TRYING TO GET COMMERCIAL LOAN AND THEY THOUGHT, WE DON'T DO THOSE ANYMORE.
WE GOTTA GOT A CYPRESS OR WHATEVER.
I TRIED TO GO AND PAY OFF MY AUTO LOAN THE OTHER DAY AND THEY WOULDN'T LET ME DO IT.
THEY SAID, HEY, YOU HAVE TO, YOU HAVE TO CON YOU HAVE TO CONTACT THE, THE LOAN DEPARTMENT UP IN HOUSTON TO PAY IT OFF.
AND I'M LIKE, WELL, I'M STANDING HERE.
I HAVE $11,000 CASH IN MY HAND.
I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE IT TO YOU.
WELL, NO SIR, WE CAN'T DO THAT.
THAT'S WHY I'M CLOSING MY ACCOUNT WITH YOU.
HEY MAN, THAT'S ALL, THAT'S 21 YEARS NOW.
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU THIS PROPERTY.
ANYTHING ELSE, EDDIE, ANYTHING ELSE? UH, NO SIR.
UNLESS YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
HAS IT BEEN A LITTLE BIT TOO COLD? IT'S NOT A PRIORITY, BUT NO, THIS MONTH IS THE MONTH.
NOW THIS MONTH, UH, THIS MONTH IS THE MONTH.
I THINK HOOTERS BUY RED LOBSTER YET? UH, NO.
WE'VE ONLY TALKED ABOUT THIS SIX TIMES BEFORE.
GIL IS WORKING ON THAT ONE BOMBSHELLS BECAUSE BOMBSHELLS IS OWNED BY A STRIP CLUB JOINT THAT'S PUBLICLY TRADED.
I DIDN'T THINK THAT THE SWEET COUNCIL WOULD ALLOW
[00:35:01]
SUCH A THING IN LAKE JACKSON.WELL, ACTUALLY WE'RE IN A, BUSINESSES HAVE A ZONE AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S BE INCLUDED IN THAT CELL.
BOMBSHELLS OWNED BY A RICK'S CABARET.
IT'S A PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY.
IT'S A RESTAURANT WITH IS NOTHING EXCEPT THAT.
I'VE NEVER HEARD HEARD OF THAT.
DUDE, I ENJOY MY FOOD AT HOME.
RHONDA, DID ANYTHING FROM YOU FROM COUNCIL? APOLOGIES
