[00:00:03]

UNDER GOD, INDIVIDUAL WITH LIBERTY FOR ALL.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

[2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES]

YES.

ANY CORRECTIONS? NO MINUTES ARE APPROVED.

DOES THIS GO TO JEFF? THANK YOU.

VISITORS COMMENTS, IF ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING TO SAY THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, AND NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO SPEAK.

UH, IF YOU COME TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD.

FIRST ITEM IS

[4. PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER AMENDING CHAPTER 110 (ZONING) TO ALLOW EDUCATION TO BE ADDED AS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IN THE B-2 (CENTRAL BUSINESS) ZONE.]

SO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING, UH, MR. CHAIR, PLANNING COMMISSION.

UM, WHEN MS. CROW, UH, APPROACHED THE CITY COUNCIL A FEW WEEKS AGO, OUR STAFF, UH, ABOUT A MONTH AGO, UM, SHE WAS LOOKING AT, UH, PROPERTY THAT SHE'S AT TO A SCHOOL.

AND WHEN WE WENT AND LIVED AT TWO SCHOOLS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN, UH, B TWO.

SO THEN CAME THE DISCUSSION OF WHAT WOULD BE THE STEPS TO TAKE IT TO CONSIDER, UM, ALLOWING, UH, SCHOOLS IN, IN THE B TWO, UH, BUSINESS DISTRICT.

UM, STAFF ADVISED THAT, UM, WE THOUGHT THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION, IF IT WAS TO BE CONSIDERED, WAS TO LOOK AT B TWO AS A CONDITIONAL USE MM-HMM.

UH, IN THE B TWO ZONE, SIMILAR TO CHURCHES AND CHURCHES IN SCHOOLS ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, OR THE B THREE ZONE ZONE.

SO THAT WAS OUR RECOMMENDATION IN MS. CROW TO, UH, APPROACH COUNCIL AND MAYBE ASK FOR THAT CONSIDERATION.

UH, THE STAFF'S ADVISEMENT, OUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT WAS ON THAT IS BECAUSE THE V TWO, UH, ZONE, ESPECIALLY DOWNTOWN, UM, AREA, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, PARKING'S AVAILABLE AND SOMETIMES IT'S NOT.

AND THIS CASE IN MS. CROW'S INSTANCE WHERE SHE IS, THEY DO HAVE PARKING AVAILABLE, UH, ON THEIR, ON THE, ON THE PRIVATE LOT.

UM, BUT THERE COULD BE OCCASION SOMEWHERE ELSE IN, IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA WHERE PARKING MAY BE A, MAY BE A CRUNCH.

AND THAT WAS WHY, UH, WE LED TO, UH, LED TO OUR ADVICE OF MAYBE ASKING FOR, IS IT TO BE CONSIDERED SOME CONDITIONAL USE.

UH, COUNSEL HEARD THAT CONSIDERATION, UM, AND THEN WAS OPEN TO THE DISCUSSION, BUT WANTED TO SET UP A PUBLIC HEARING AND START THE PROCESS WITH YOU AND GET YOUR INPUT AND ADVICE, UH, TO THEM IF YOU AGREE OR NOT AGREE CHANGES.

BUT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MS. CROW, BUT I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF, UH, LAY A LITTLE BIT OF GROUNDWORK FOR YOU.

WE CAN'T HEAR THAT HERE.

OKAY.

I'M SORRY.

BIT LOUDER THAN I DO.

ALRIGHT.

THANK YOU BUD.

COME ON UP.

PROBABLY MIC ON MY FOOT, MIKE.

IT'S A LITTLE SCARED.

IT'S, YOU JUST NEED TO TALK UP.

HEY GUYS, I SAID TO LET YOU LEAD.

DO YOU WANT TO HEAR MY WHOLE PRESENTATION OR DO YOU HAVE SOME? YEAH, GO AHEAD AND GET US EVERYTHING.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND LET 'EM KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT YOU DO AND WHY YOU'RE WANTING IT TO BE A SCHOOL.

OH, YAY.

THANK YOU.

I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT.

UH, MY NAME IS RO.

I'M THE OWNER AND THE OPERATOR AT INTENTIONAL ACTIONS A DA.

UM, SO I'D LOVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT WE DO, UH, AND THEN YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD THE ASK, BUT KIND OF EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.

SO, AT INTENTIONAL ACTIONS A, BA, WE ARE A BEHAVIOR.

UM, WE ARE A THERAPY THAT WORKS SPECIFICALLY WITH BEHAVIOR.

PREDOMINANTLY WE WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE AUTISM.

UM, OUR OUR SCIENCE IS CALLED APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS, AND WE LOOK AT BEHAVIOR AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITHIN THE ENVIRONMENT AND HOW THAT AFFECTS HOW A PERSON BEHAVES.

AND THEN WE CHANGE THINGS IN THE ENVIRONMENT, WHICH THEN CHANGES THEIR BEHAVIOR.

UM, A BA IS A THERAPY BASED ON THAT RELATIONSHIP IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

IT IS ALSO CONSIDERED AN EVIDENCE BASED, UM, AND BEST PRACTICE BY THE, UM, UH, SURGEON GENERAL AND THE AMERICAN, UH, PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION.

UM, THESE INDIVIDUALS COME TO US BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SUCH HIGH BEHAVIOR CONCERNS THAT INSURANCE SAYS THIS IS A MEDICAL NECESSITY THAT THEY NEED TO WORK ON THEIR BEHAVIORS.

UM, WHY WE HAVE INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM PREDOMINANTLY IS BECAUSE AT THIS TIME, UM, THIS THERAPY'S ONLY COVERED FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM THROUGH INSURANCE COMPANIES.

SO

[00:05:01]

THANK, I'M NOT GONNA READ ALL OF THEM, BUT, UM, I'M GONNA LOOK.

THIS ONE, IT'S HARD TO PUT INTO WORDS THE IMPACT THAT INTENTIONAL ACTIONS HAS ON OUR FAMILY.

THEY HAVE BEEN A STABILIZING FORCE IN OUR LIVES, GIVING US TOOLS, GUIDANCE, AND SUPPORT SINCE WE FIRST WALKED THROUGH THEIR DOORS.

THEIR STAFF IS KIND WELL TRAINED AND WELL, MY CHILD IS LEARNING EVERY DAY, THINKS TO THIS TEAM AND FEELS SAFE AND LOVED.

AT EVERY MOMENT HE'S THERE, IT'S MY HOPE THAT THEY WILL BE GIVEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AS THEY CAN SUPPORT, UH, EVEN MORE FAMILIES.

ROB SHELTON.

AND THEN I'M GONNA JUST READ, UH, SOME HIGHLIGHTED BECAUSE ASK THEM TO GIVE ME A FEW LINES AND THEY GOT A LITTLE, TO BE HONEST, UH, THIS IS CLEAR.

WHEN WE GOT OUR DAUGHTER CLAIRE'S DIAGNOSIS, WE HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO START.

AFTER A FEW YEARS OF STRUGGLING, WE WERE BEYOND BLESSED TO FIND TIFFANY CROWE AND HER STAFF AND INTENTIONAL ACTION VI VA PLAYERS MADE LEAPS AND BOUNDS IN HER AUTISM JOURNEY.

A HUGE PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF OUR AMAZING A BA CLINIC.

UM, NOT ONLY DO THEY SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN, BUT ALSO THE PARENTS BY TEACHING US WHAT TO DO AT HOME AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT THESE PRACTICES IN OUR DAILY LIVES.

UH, DEAN AND EMILY ROGERS.

AND THEN THE NEXT ONE, CLAIRE MAKES IT IN AGAIN BECAUSE, UH, AS SOMETIMES HAPPENS, CLAIRE'S LITTLE BROTHER WAS EVENTUALLY ALSO DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM.

SO THIS ONE IS FROM THEIR GRANDPARENT WHO ALSO COMES TO THERAPY WITH THEM.

UM, HAVING GRANDCHILDREN, MY GRANDCHILDREN, CLAIRE AND JAMESON AS CLIENTS AT INTENTIONAL ACTIONS, A BA THERAPY, HAS BEEN LIFE CHANGING FOR OUR ENTIRE FAMILY.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT HAVING THIS THERAPY CLINIC IN LAKE JACKSON WHERE WE CAN EASILY TAKE THEM OUT OF SCHOOL AND BACK WITHOUT HAVING TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCE IS A GAME CHANGER FOR SURE.

SHELLY MARTIN, HERE'S THE LAST, UH, TESTIMONY.

UM, THIS IS THE LITTLE GUY, UH, REALLY GETTING INTO IT AT THE FRONT.

HIS NAME IS ALEX.

UM, ALEX'S MOM SAYS, ALEX USED TO HAVE MELTDOWNS EVERY SINGLE DAY, CONCLUDED, KICKING THINGS, SCREAMING, ANGER OUTBURSTS, CONSTANT REFUSAL, ET CETERA.

AND SINCE STARTING A BA, HE'S ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF MELTDOWNS.

LET ME EMPHASIZE ONLY A COUPLE OF MELTDOWNS IN MONTHS.

THIS IS HUGE AND SHOWS THE GREAT WORK THEY DO AT INTENTIONAL ACTIONS.

A, BA.

OUR DAILY LIVES HAVE GREATLY IMPROVED AND WE CAN TAKE MORE FAMILY OUTINGS NOW WITHOUT BEING AFRAID THAT HE WILL BE JUDGED FOR HIS BEHAVIORS.

I USED TO HESITATE EVEN TAKING HIM TO THE GROCERY STORE, AND NOW IT'S NOT EVEN A QUESTION THAT CROSSES MY MIND.

PARENTS OF SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS KNOW HOW HARD IT'S TO FIND RESOURCES WE NEED HERE IN OUR TOWN, AND I'M GLAD TO SEE MS. TIFFANY HAS BEEN ABLE TO HELP PROVIDE SUCH RESOURCES WITH A GREAT TEAM OF EXPERIENCE LOVING AND KAREN, ERIC THIS YEAR WITH JACKSON.

UH, THIS IS AUDREY, AUDREY .

SO, UM, WE LOVE WHAT WE DO AND WE THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND GOOD WORK.

AND I INVITE ANY OF YOU TO COME VISIT, GIMME A CALL, AND I'LL LOVE TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE DO.

UM, WE ARE LOOKING AT EXPANDING.

CURRENTLY WE SERVE TWO, UH, 22 CLIENTS.

UM, OUR THERAPY IS TIME CONSUMING.

UH, IT'S A FAMILY THERAPY.

UH, PARENTS ARE OFTEN HERE WITH US.

IT'S RIGOROUS.

OUR CLIENTS OFTEN ATTEND FOR MULTIPLE YEARS.

UM, OUR GOAL HAS BEEN, MY, MY GOAL HAS BEEN TO DO QUALITY OVER QUANTITIES.

SO, UH, WE'VE BEEN GROWING VERY SLOW AND STEADY.

UM, WITH THAT SAID, THOUGH, OUR WAITING LIST HAS SOME PRETTY DAUNTING NUMBERS.

UH, WE'RE AT ABOUT 184 INDIVIDUALS ON OUR WAIT LIST CURRENTLY.

UM, AND I, I THINK THAT THAT IS A LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT OUR, OUR BRAZORIA COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE DESPERATE FOR THESE SERVICES.

UM, I, AS A LITTLE SIDE NOTE, AS THE OWNER CANNOT ANSWER THE PHONE LINES ANYMORE, TALKING TO THE PARENTS THAT NEED THESE SERVICES, UM, BECAUSE I GIVE UP MY SATURDAYS AND MY EVENINGS, AND, UH, THEY, THEY, UM, IT'S HEARTBREAKING TO HEAR THEIR STORIES.

UH, THE NEED GOES BEYOND THERAPY.

SO WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS MEETING EVERY ONE OF THEIR NEEDS.

BUT THROUGH THE INSURANCE MODEL THAT WE WORK IN, WE HAVE TO WORK ON GOALS SPECIFICALLY THAT ARE BEHAVIOR.

SO IF WE WORK ON AN ACADEMIC GOAL, LET'S SAY, UH, SITTING AND ATTENDING TO A TASK, UM, THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE HAVE TO, TO UM, PHRASE IT BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE IN A BEHAVIORAL CONTEXT.

UH, WE CAN'T SAY THEY CAN READ OR THEY CAN SOUND OTHER IDENTIFY LETTERS.

IT HAS TO BE A BEHAVIORAL GOAL.

SO THEY HAVE TO ATTEND TO A TASK.

THEY WILL TOLERATE DOING A NON-PREFERRED TASK.

UM, SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS, UH, EXPAND OUR BUSINESS INTO A PRIVATE SCHOOL MODEL WHERE WE HAVE OUR THERAPY

[00:10:01]

BUT THE IDEA IS NOT FOR THESE GUYS TO COME AND STAY, IT'S MORE OF A TRANSITIONAL SCHOOL WHERE OUR GOAL IS FOR THEM TO COME PRACTICE SCHOOL WITH US A COUPLE YEARS, PRACTICE THEIR BEHAVIORAL SKILLS, AND THEN MOVE OUT TO A MORE, UH, TRADITIONAL PRIVATE SCHOOL AND THEN POTENTIALLY EVEN TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

UH, GIVE A LITTLE, JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE INFO.

UM, LOOKING AT JUST KIND OF TO SUPPORT THE IDEA OF THE, UH, PRIVATE SCHOOL MODEL.

THIS IS, THESE NUMBERS ARE JUST BASED OUT OF OUR CURRENT CLIENTELE, 30%.

SO SIX OUT OF THE 22 ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL OF THEIR CHOICE BECAUSE OF THEIR BEHAVIOR.

UM, 83% OF THEM.

SO OUT OF THAT SIX, UM, FIVE OUT OF THE SIX CLIENTS LISTED ABOVE ARE ACTUALLY ON ACADEMIC LEVEL, MEANING THEY CAN DO THE ACADEMIC TASKS, BUT THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO, TO GET THEIR EDUCATION WITH THEIR TYPICALLY DEVELOPING PEERS BECAUSE THEIR PEERS GET IN THE WAY OR THAT ENVIRONMENT CAN'T BE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO HELP, UH, GET THAT CONTENT 31%.

SO SEVEN OUT OF THE 22 OF OUR CLIENTS ARE EITHER HOMESCHOOLED OR THEY HAVE SOME ADAPTIVE COMING TO OUR THERAPY AND GOING TO SCHOOL SHORTEN, UH, PUBLIC SCHOOL DAY.

AND THEN 70% OF OUR KIDS ATTEND SCHOOL IN A SELF-CONTAINED SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSROOM.

UM, AND IF YOU'RE KEEPING UP WITH ANY OF THE SCHOOL VOUCHER, UH, INFORMATION COMING OUT, THE, UM, THOSE SELF-CONTAINED CLASSROOMS, UH, IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS LOOK TO HAVE SOME, UH, CHANGES COMING TO IN THE FUTURE.

SO I WOULD LIKE OUR, OUR CLIENTELE AND OUR COUNTY TO HAVE OPTIONS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A PRIVATE SCHOOL OPTION.

SO, UH, 90% OF OUR STAFF HAVE BEEN, UM, PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS OR PARAPROFESSIONAL IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

SO THAT LED US TO NATURALLY WANT TO GO AHEAD AND DO AN EDUCATION MODEL AS WELL.

SO WE ARE, UM, OH, THIS, THIS IS THE PROPOSAL AND I WENT AHEAD AND HIGHLIGHTED IT DOWN THERE FOR YOU GUYS.

JUST PUT EDUCATION DOWN.

UM, OUR CURRENT BUSINESS, UH, INTENTIONAL ACTIONS, A BA IS LOCATED IN ZOMBIE AND WE'D LIKE TO EXPAND, STAY IN THE SAME LOCATION, SO THAT PRIVATE SCHOOL.

AND THEN I THINK THE NEXT PICTURE HAS, UM, SHOWS EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE LOCATED.

SO THIS PICTURE IS, UH, DOWNTOWN, IT'S THE DOCTOR'S PARK.

UM, IF YOU SEE THIS WAY, CIRCLE WAY, SO WE HAVE OUR, I HAVE OUR LOGO RIGHT ON TOP OF OUR BUILDING.

SO WE'RE IN THE BACK OF THIS DOCTOR'S PARK, WHICH, UH, BACKS UP TO THE ALLEY.

AND THEN THE BIG BUILDING THERE IS THE AT T BUILDING.

UM, ALL OF THE KIND OF BRIGHT GREEN IS INTERNAL PARKING FOR THE DOCTOR'S PARK.

UM, THEN THE KIND OF LIGHTER YELLOW IS PUBLIC PARKING FOR ANYONE TO ACCESS ALSO THAT ARE ACCESSING THESE BUILDINGS.

BUT THEN ALSO SOMETHING TO NOTE ABOUT JUST THE SPACE THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.

UM, OUR SCHOOL WOULD HAVE A MAX OF 15 TO 20 CHILDREN.

UM, AND I DO SERVE SOME TEENAGERS, BUT OUR CLIENTELE AREN'T DRIVERS.

NOT, NOT YET.

I DO HAVE TWO THAT, THAT ARE ONE THAT'S DRIVING AND ONE THAT JUST STARTED.

AND THEY'RE 18.

SO THEY'RE REALLY, SO WE'RE NOT GONNA NEED LIKE, STUDENT PARKING, UM, IN THIS LOCATION EITHER.

UM, I THINK JUST THE LAST, THE LAST LINE IS JUST A NOTE FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER, UH, DR. ANDERSON GIVING HIS SUPPORT FOR THIS EXPANSION BEING A PRIVACY AS WELL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WELCOME.

OKAY.

ANYTHING, ALL QUESTIONS MIGHT YOU HAVE? NOT AT THIS TIME.

YES.

I JUST WANNA SAY AS SOMEBODY WHO HAS NOW ADULT CHILD WHO IS NEURODIVERGENT AND DIAGNOSED LATER IN LIFE, MAYBE NOT AS SEVERE AS SOME THAT YOU DO, THERE WERE NO RESOURCES 20 YEARS AGO.

AND THE FACT I'VE KNOWN TIFFANY OUTSIDE OF THIS CONTEXT KNOW THAT SHE, HER CLINIC'S THERE, I'VE SEEN IT.

'CAUSE I GO TO,

[00:15:01]

I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF A CONDITIONAL USE.

SO IT WOULD HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, GET SOME APPROVAL BEFOREHAND.

IT'S A GREAT LOCATION.

I JUST HOPE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE, .

AND NOW, WHEN YOU SAID 17 STUDENTS, IS THAT ADDING 17 TO YOUR 22 OR SOME OF THOSE 22 WILL BE STUDENTS.

THAT IS REALLY A VERY, UH, LIKE, I'M GONNA SAY WORST CASE SCENARIO AS IN LIKE THE MAX CAPACITY, BUT REALLY THAT BUILDING, WE HAVE THE BACK SECTION AND WE'RE APPROVED TO EXPAND INTO THE FRONT.

SO WE'LL HAVE THE ONE HOLE, ONE HALF OF THE BUILDING.

UM, AND SO REALLY, UH, IT, IT LIKELY WOULD BE 10 TOTAL.

WELL, MY POINT IS YES, AND THEN THOSE 22 DON'T COME AT THE SAME TIME.

SO WE USUALLY HAVE ABOUT FOUR AND THE SIDE THAT WE'RE AT.

OKAY.

SO BETWEEN THE TWO, OUR, OUR BUILDING CAPACITY I THINK IS, UM, IT'S SOMEWHERE AROUND 15 TO 16 AND OUR, OUR ONE SECTION.

SO WE MIGHT COULD DO 30, BUT WE NEVER, OKAY.

YEAH, WE NEVER FILLED THAT UP.

THANK YOU.

YES, SIR.

AND ANY CONDITIONAL USE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK HERE FOR APPROVAL.

SO AT ANOTHER LOCATION IN ANOTHER GROUP, THE CITY COUNCIL OR THE COMMISSION, WHICHEVER WOULD CONSIDER PARKING AND THAT SORT OF THINGS.

IT MIGHT INTERFERE WITH THE CITY, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONLY THING.

SO I'D ALSO TAR WITH THE WORD EDUCATION, AND THAT'S PROBABLY SPECIFIC ENOUGH.

UH, UH, BECAUSE IT, BECAUSE IT IS A CONDITIONAL THING AND IT WOULD COME, UH, LIKE IF IT WAS SOMETHING FOR AN ADULT, UH, WOULD BE POSSIBLE EVEN WITH THAT SAME TERM AND, AND STILL BE FEASIBLE AND FROM A LEGALITY STANDPOINT.

SO MR. SERGEANT, THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK, UH, THAT WAS DISCUSSED IN COUNCIL.

YOU KNOW, JUST AS CONDITIONAL USE, YOU COULD HAVE A SMALL SCHOOL THAT'S ASKED FOR DOWNTOWN, BUT UM, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE COLLEGE MAY WANT TO DO A, LET'S SAY A SATELLITE OFFICE DOWNTOWN.

MM-HMM .

AND THEN YOU LOOK AT AS LIKE, WE CAN'T, THE AREA CAN'T ACCOMMODATE IT.

SO THAT'S, YES, THE, UH, THE REQUEST COULD, UH, WOULD ALWAYS BE AS CONDITIONAL USE AND IT WOULD GO INTO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO LOOK AT THOSE FACTORS.

UH, THAT, THAT'S AN INTERESTING THING I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT.

UH, LIKE THE COLLEGE, IF IT WAS IN AN ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTION, WOULD IT BE CONSIDERED CO UH, EDUCATION OR NOT? I DON'T THINK SO.

IF THEY MOVE OFFICE, I WOULD, THAT SHOULDN'T BE OFFICE.

THAT'D BE OFFICE, I WOULD GUESS.

NOT THAT OFFICE.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM.

ALRIGHT.

THANK YOU JOHN.

NOTHING AT THIS TIME.

ALRIGHT.

YOU SAID WITH THE EXPANSION, YOU TAKE THE FRONT PART OF THE BUILDING, HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES THAT PERMIT YOU TO HAVE IN THAT FACILITY? THAT THE NUMBERS I GAVE INCLUDED THAT, SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE LIKE, I THINK IT'S 15 THAT WE CAN HAVE IN THE BUILDING TOTAL.

SO YOU COULD DOUBLE IT POTENTIALLY TO 30.

THE FRONT SPACE IS A LITTLE BIT SMALLER, BUT IF I WOULD NOT DO THAT WELL, I MEAN, I I I ASK YOU THAT BECAUSE I MEAN, IF YOU'RE, IF THINGS CONTINUE TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL FOR YOU IN THE HELPING THE COMMUNITY, YOUR SCHOOL WOULD POTENTIALLY FILL UP PRETTY QUICKLY.

SO I'M CURIOUS IF YOU'RE GONNA BE COMING BACK TO US IN TWO YEARS, HEY, WE'RE AT A NEW LOCATION, WE NEED ANOTHER CONDITIONAL APPROVAL.

UM, I THINK THAT, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS? RIGHT? UH, REALLY MY, MY HOPE AND GOAL WOULD BE TO TAKE OVER THAT ENTIRE BUILDING.

SO EVENTUALLY TAKE THE SIDE THAT KELSEY SEA HAS NOW THAT KIND OF SPLIT BETWEEN THAT BUILDING.

UM, BUT I PATIENTLY GROWING SLOW AND STEADY KIND OF, UM, THAT SPOT'S NOT AVAILABLE.

SO THAT WOULD BE, UH, IDEAL.

BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT SPACE WOULD COME AVAILABLE IF I DID NEED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER SPACE, BUT I WOULD HAVE, UH, THIS CONDITIONAL USE IN MIND.

MM-HMM .

I, I DON'T WANT, UM, I'M, I'M A LAKE JACKSON CITIZEN.

I DIDN'T SAY THAT PART AGAIN.

SO I LIKE OUR DOWNTOWN THE WAY IT'S, I DON'T WANNA MOVE A SCHOOL AROUND IN THERE AND, AND KIND OF CONFINE THE TYPE BUILDING NO.

BE THERE BUSINESS.

AND I, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I MEAN, BRINGING UP THE FACT OF TAKING OVER POTENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, GOD WILLING, THE ENTIRE BUILDING.

YEAH.

I WOULD IMAGINE A MAJORITY OF THAT WOULD, AGAIN, GOD WILLING GO TOWARDS THE SCHOOL.

SO THAT WOULD INTRODUCE NOT ONLY MORE POTENTIAL STUDENT VEHICLES, BUT FACULTY VEHICLES.

AND I'M CURIOUS WHAT THE REST OF THE DOCTORS PARK WOULD, WOULD FEEL ABOUT THAT, UM, WITH THEIR STUFF, YOU KNOW, HOUR LONG COME AND GO, NOT EIGHT HOUR LONG.

WOULD THAT, IF THEY WERE

[00:20:01]

MM-HMM .

WOULD IT? I DON'T THINK IT, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD.

I WOULD THINK SO.

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

RIGHT.

NO, IT WOULD ALL DEPEND IF YOU, IF YOU SET SOME TYPE OF CONDITION ON IN THIS DISCUSSION MM-HMM .

WHETHER IT BE, UH, THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THERE THAT THAT WOULD BE ALLOWABLE UNTIL ANOTHER, ANOTHER CONDITIONAL USE.

UH, BUT SHE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK IF WE APPROVE THIS CONDITIONAL, SHE'S STILL GONNA HAVE TO COME BACK TO APPLY THIS HER SEAT CONDITION.

SO THIS ISN'T, YEAH.

YEAH.

I KNOW THIS ISN'T THE FINAL, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S MY CURIOSITY WAS FOR EXPANDING TO THE ENTIRE BUILDING.

THE, THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO BE A STUDENT UP TO PROBABLY PUT A LIMIT ON HOW BIG AS I SEE IT, IT'S A FRACTION OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING THERAPY.

IT'S, IT WOULD BE A NO, I AGREE.

SO IT'S VERY LIMITED.

SO MANY QUESTIONS TO ASK.

ANYTHING ELSE, MATT? I'D LOVE TO CREATE THAT PROBLEM.

YEP.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT IS JUST, IT'S STUFF THAT WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT.

UNFORTUNATELY, AS YOU KNOW, OUR DOWNTOWN DOESN'T HAVE ANY SPACE AND WE ARE ALREADY GETTING T***Y TATS WITH PEOPLE ABOUT THE PARKING AND WANTING TO BUILD STUFF DOWN THERE AND VENUES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO WE MIGHT SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS MORE THAN OTHERS, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO KEEP THE SAME STANDARD ON EVERYBODY.

I, I WORK THE NUMBERS.

IF WE COME BACK FOR HALF THE BUILDING AND THE POOL BUILDING, I HAVE THEM IN FRONT OF ME.

BUT HOPEFULLY I CAN COME BACK TO YOU GUYS AGAIN FOR THE REQUEST FOR THE CONDITIONAL AND THEN I'LL HAVE THOSE, THE STAFF AND THE PARKING.

YES MA'AM.

A MODEL FOUND IN HERE.

I UNDERSTAND, ROGER, THAT IT'S ALSO A POSSIBILITY YOU'D WANT TO GROW THE THERAPY SIDE MORE.

YEAH, IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE MARKET.

MM-HMM.

THE CLIENTS YOU HAVE.

MM-HMM .

HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY ALL OF THAT.

YEAH.

I DON'T WANNA BE TOO BIG JUST BECAUSE THE RIGHT SIZE.

YES.

YEAH, I RESPECT THAT.

ANYTHING ELSE FROM UP HERE, MODESTO? ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD? UH, NO SIR SAL, ANYTHING.

ALRIGHT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE, UH, APPROVE THE, UH, UH, THE CONSIDERATION OF THE AMENDING CHAPTER ONE 11 ZONING TO ALLOW THE EDUCATION TO BE ADDED AS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IN B TWO CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTANCE ZONE.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

WE HAVE SECOND.

SECOND.

WE HAVE SECOND.

ANY MORE DISCUSSION? NO.

ALL IN FAVOR? A AYE.

AYE.

OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU TIFFANY.

WE RESERVE J THREE AND J FOUR TEXAS DOW EMPLOYEES CREDIT UNION TRACKED AT 80 OAK DRIVE FILED ON JANUARY 6TH, 2026.

DO WE HAVE ANY, UH, DOW CREDIT UNION, UH, REPRESENTATIVES ON THIS ISSUE? IF NOT, WE WILL JUST PROCEED WITH THAT.

I'M RANDY WITH BAKER LAWSON, 4 0 1 MAGNOLIA STATE, LAKE CITY, TEXAS.

UM, LET, RANDY WASN'T HERE LAST TIME.

LET ME, LET ME SAY SOMETHING.

BILL TESTOW, PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS, UH, WHAT WE ADDED THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE LAST TIME, WE FORGOT THE FIRE LANE.

SO THERE'S NOW A FIRE LANE IN THERE AND THE CODE HELP ME OUT.

IT SHOWS THAT WE DESIGNED IT ACCORDING TO CODE AND EVERYTHING.

UM, THERE IS A PROVISION FOR A SIDEWALK OUT FRONT THAT SAL MENTIONED.

WE PROBABLY ARE PUT ON HERE NOT PROPOSING TO DO A SIDEWALK.

UH, WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN THE BUDGET AND THERE'S REALLY NO SIDEWALK CONNECTED TO EITHER END OF THE CHURCH PROPERTY FOR A GOOD LONG WHILE.

SIDEWALK'S REALLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DRIVE.

MM-HMM .

THAT'S WHERE IT'S, IT'S EVEN BEING REPAIRED OVER THERE.

WHAT ELSE ON THE SITE? I, THAT WAS THE TWO MAJOR ITEMS. YEAH, THAT WAS THE TWO, TWO MAIN, MAIN THINGS THAT I THINK CAME UP.

EVERYTHING ELSE I THINK IS THE SAME AS WHAT YOU SAW LAST MONTH.

OKAY.

ANYTHING.

WELL, I APPRECIATE THE SECOND THOUGHT OF, UH, A FIRE LANE.

OH YEAH, I I MEAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE ANYWAY.

YEAH, MY SON WENT TO BCS AND SO WE WERE IN THERE ALL THE TIME.

YEAH.

JEFF? NO, TERRY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT AND THEY'D ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF IT IS, UH, UH, BUMPING ME AS I HOWEVER POKE THIS, UH, GOING ON TO Y POND, UH, THAT THERE'S A CURVE

[00:35:01]

SO IT'S A SMOOTH ACCESS JUST LIKE A ROAD IT COOL.

YEAH.

SO THAT'S A BETTER DEAL.

I APPRECIATE Y'ALL SPENDING THE TIME, UH, AND DISCUSSING MY SUGGESTION AND I APPRECIATE YOU SPENDING THAT TIME.

I HAD ONE QUESTION JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY.

THE ELEVATION OF THE DETENTION BEHIND, UH, DRAIN LINE.

YES SIR.

WHAT ELEVATION IS THAT? SO THE, I COULDN'T SEE IT ON HERE, BUT THE LINE AT THE POND, UH, IS AT ELEVATION 14.

IT GOES OUT TO A, UH, DORM MANHOLE WHERE IT DROPS DOWN AND ENTERS THE DITCH AT A 12.8.

OKAY.

WHICH IS RIGHT AROUND THE FLOW LINE OF THE DITCH.

OKAY.

AND WE'RE ALSO, UH, PUTTING SLOPE PAVING AT THE ENDS OF BOTH PIPES.

THEY HAD, UH, HANDLED THE, ANY EROSION.

IS THAT DESIGNED FOR A SEVEN YEAR REIGN OR IS THAT HE, UH, FOLLOWED THE 10 YEAR REQUIREMENT.

10 YEAR.

OKAY.

ACTUALLY THIS WAS 100 YEAR.

A HUNDRED YEAR, IS THAT RIGHT? UM, JUST FOR THE ADDED IMPERVIOUS AREA.

SO NOT FOR THE ENTIRE SITE SINCE THEY'VE BEEN THERE EXISTING FOR BEFORE THE REQUIREMENTS WERE, UM, REQUIRED, BUT SO ANY OF THE ADDITIONAL IMPERVIOUS AREA, UM, WAS CALCULATED WITH A 10 YEAR EVENT? YEAH.

OR 100 YEAR GRANT.

UH, AS PER DISCUSSIONS WITH ATTORNEY DISTRICT, THAT'S, UH, WHAT THEY, THEY WANTED TO SEE.

I, I LIVE ON THE CREEK AND I, IN MY MIND WE'VE BEEN TO 16 FEET SEVERAL TIMES, SO THAT'S THE REFERENCE I HAD.

SO IT'S INTERESTING WHETHER THAT BE BACKING IN OR SUCH, BUT, UH, IT DIDN'T IMPACT APPROVAL OR NOT FOR THAT, BUT IT'S, WELL, IN GENERAL, UM, MANY NOT ONLY PROVIDE DETENTION FOR WATER COMING OFF THE SITE, BUT IF THE WATER GETS HIGH ENOUGH IN THE RECEIVING, UH, FACILITY, IT CAN BACK UP TO RELIEVE SOME OF THE, UH, PRESSURE FROM THAT DITCH OR CREEK.

YEAH.

UH, UM, AND THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE A FLAT GATE ON IT, SO IT WOULD BE ABLE TO ON SOME WATER FROM THE DITCH IF, IF THE DITCH GETS DEEP ENOUGH.

YEAH, I THINK THERE'S SOME MAJOR FLAP GATES UP AND DOWN THE CREEK THAT I DON'T THINK THEY PROBABLY EVER FUNCTION.

BUT, UH, EVERY, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS, EVERYTHING.

EXCUSE ME.

WITH IT BEING IN THAT LOCATION, I CAN UNDERSTAND THE FLAP GATES YEAH.

THERE, BUT, UM, FOR, FOR THE CHURCH PROPERTY, UH, ALLOWING IT TO MAYBE TAKE ON A LITTLE BIT OF WATER.

YEAH.

AND PART OF THE LOGIC THERE IS, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE DRAINAGE COMES ON THIS WESTERN SIDE INTO THE SAME DITCH THAT'S RECEIVING POND.

SO IF IT'S BALANCING OUT AND TAKING SOME MORE, THE TOP OF THIS DITCH IS STILL LOWER THAN THEIR POND.

SO YEAH.

HYPOTHETICALLY IT SHOULD BACK INTO THE CHURCH, IT WILL SUPPORT.

NO, I DON'T THINK IT'D EVER GET THERE, BUT THANK YOU COTTON.

NOTHING MATT? I'M GOOD.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT THE BOARD NEEDS TO CONSIDER, FIRST OF ALL IS THE, UH, QUESTION ON THE SIDEWALK WHETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD REQUIRE ONE OR NOT.

DID WE, SHOULD WE INCLUDE THAT IN THE MOTION OR YOU YES, YOU YOU SHOULD.

YOU NEED TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE MOTION.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

SO DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE UH, THE FINAL REVIEW AND ACTION OF THE CHAPEL WOOD UNITED METHODIST, UH, CHURCH SITE PLAN AMENDMENT.

UH, 300 WILLOW DRIVE FILE ON JANUARY 6TH WITH NO REQUIREMENT FOR A SIDEWALK.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND.

SECOND.

SECOND.

GOT TWO SECONDS.

ANY MORE DISCUSSION? NO.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

OPPOSED? NO.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT, NEXT

[8. FINAL REVIEW AND ACTION OF CHAPELWOOD UNITED METHODIST CHURCH LANDSCAPE PLAN AMENDMENT AT 300 WILLOW DRIVE FILED ON JANUARY 6, 2026.]

THAT WAS SITE AND NOW WE'RE DOING LANDSCAPE ON THE SAME PROPERTY.

SO, UH, WITH THIS PROJECT, THE UH, LANDSCAPE PLAN BASICALLY BE TREES AND AND WHATNOT THAT ARE THERE, UH, CURRENTLY ARE REMAINING.

UH, THE PLAN WAS UPDATED TO SHOW THE THREE, UH,

[00:40:01]

UM, AND SO THEY ONLY NEED THREE TREES TO MEET THEIR REQUIREMENT FOR THE WHOLE SITE.

THREE .

YEAH.

UM, THEY HAVE SOME GOOD BIG ONES.

YEAH.

BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD IT LOCALLY WRITTEN OUT SO THAT IN THE FUTURE IF THOSE TREES GO DOWN WE CAN RECALCULATE AGAIN.

UM, IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS SINCE THE LAST POPULATION.

I GUESS IT DOES BRING UP SOMETHING THAT I REMEMBER THE MAYOR WAS CONCERNED ABOUT AND IT MAY NOT APPLY HERE THAT THE TREES THAT ARE DESIGNATED IN PROXIMITY TO THE CONSTRUCTION BE CORDED OFF SO THAT THEY HAVE EXTRA PROTECTION OR AWARENESS.

YES SIR.

THOSE ARE FOR PROTECT WE IN A CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENT, LIKE WHEN WE BUILT THE SANCTUARY YEAH.

IN 2001 MM-HMM .

AND MIX ABOUT, I DON'T KNOW, SIX OR SEVEN PROTECTED TREES DURING CONSTRUCTION.

THEY WERE CORDING OFF ROOT ZONES PROTECTED AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

THESE ARE JUST TREES THAT ARE BEING PRESERVED SUCH THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO 'EM THEN YOU KNOW, GO, WE HAVE THE TREE CREDITS TO WORK AGAINST.

RIGHT.

AND EVENTUALLY YOU CAN GET TO WHERE YOU ACTUAL PLANTING TREES.

RIGHT.

THAT MAINTAIN.

BUT DO WE HAVE ANY TREES THAT, UH, NOT NECESSARILY THE PROTECTED TREES, BUT ANY TREES THAT FROM THE PROJECT ITSELF, THE PAVING, THERE'S NONE, NONE GONNA BE OKAY.

YEAH.

UM, I THINK WE'RE FIVE TO 10 FEET OFF PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TREES WITH THE CONSTRUCTION.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT NEW LANE THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN, IF THERE'S SOME TREES THAT WE'D RECENTLY PLANTED OR NO, THERE'S NOT.

NO, UH, IT COMES, IF YOU REMEMBER THE TWO PINE TREES THAT ARE RIGHT THERE WHEN YOU DRIVE IN.

RIGHT.

THE DRIVEWAY CUTS IN IN FRONT OF THOSE.

OKAY.

AND THAT WOULD BE THE TREES THAT WE WOULD BE CLOSEST TO.

OKAY.

VERY GOOD.

OKAY.

ANYTHING? NO, JEFF, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

THANK YOU.

HEAR ANYTHING? NO COTTON? NOTHING? NOPE.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GIVE FI UH, FINAL REVIEW AND ACTION OF THE CHAPEL WOOD UNITED METHODIST CHURCH AT LANDSCAPE PLAN AMENDED AT 300 OH WHEELER DRIVE FILE ON JANUARY 6TH.

I SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND.

ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, THANK Y'ALL.

THANKS.

NUMBER NINE.

[9. REVIEW AND DISCUSS SPECIFICATIONS OF STACKING LANES THAT ARE SET OUT IN THE TABLE OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN SECTION 110.62 (i), CHAPTER 110 ZONING OF THE LAKE JACKSON CODE OF ORDINANCES.]

10.62 I CHAPTER ONE 10 ZONING OF THE LAKE JACKSON CODE OF ORDINANCES.

THIS IS AN ITEM THAT, UH, BOARD MEMBER, UH, MR. MR. SERGEANT REQUESTED THAT WE INCLUDE IN THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, IN THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA.

SO I'LL LET HIM.

OKAY.

AND IT DOESN'T IMPACT WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN ASSIGNED? NO.

IT THE GRANDFATHER AND SECTION.

CORRECT.

UH, I REALIZE THAT UH, THE STACKING LANE WAS BASED ON FIVE CHILDREN PER CAR BETWEEN THE AGE OF PROBABLY TWO AND FIVE AND, UH, I DON'T THINK THAT'S PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE AND SO IT SEEMED LIKE A RIDICULOUS NUMBER AND I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT THAT NUMBER.

UH, SO IT SEEMED LIKE IN REALITY THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN THAT WOULD COMING WOULD BE SOMEPLACE BETWEEN ONE AND TWO PER CAR.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS CONSIDERING AND, UH, WANTED US TO TALK ABOUT.

UH, THE NUMBER I JUST PICKED OUT OF MY HEAD.

I THINK TWO'S TOO MANY AND ONE'S TOO FEW, SO I DON'T THINK IT HAS TO BE AN INTEGER.

SO ONE AND A HALF SEEMS LIKE A, AN ARBITRARY NUMBER THAT, SO THE STAFF CAN USE THAT FOR THEIR CALCULATIONS ON THIS PROJECT.

IT WAS UH, FIVE.

SO THEY HAVE, THEY PERCEIVABLY HAVE 25 CARS IN THE STACKING BANK.

SO IS THAT FIVE MAYBE AN AVERAGE OF VANS AND CARS? IT COULD BE.

SO I WONDER IF THAT'S WHERE THE NUMBER CAME FROM.

WELL, THAT'S ON THE LOWER HIGH SIDE OF FIVE.

I I MEAN, UH, OF AN AVERAGE.

WELL YOU GOT 15 PASSENGER VAN AND CARS WITH ONE, THEN SOMEBODY MIGHT HAVE FIGURED THAT FIVE IS A GOOD AVERAGE FOR THE ALL THE VEHICLES.

SO THAT WOULD SAY SOMEONE WOULD'VE 10 IN THERE AND SOMEONE WOULD'VE ONE.

RIGHT.

RIGHT.

UH, I I CAN'T IMAGINE.

AND I THOUGHT I WAS ON THE COMMITTEE, WE RATIONALIZE THAT, BUT THAT'S BEEN TOO LONG AGO.

SO, UH, WELL THE NEXT ONE ABOUT THE SIX STUDENTS THAT'S UH,

[00:45:02]

YEAH.

I WONDER IF THAT'S WHERE THOSE NUMBERS CAME FROM.

MISSING AVERAGE.

WELL, I I'M ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DAYCARE AND CHILD AND THAT ONE UH, UH, WOULD SEEM LOGICAL.

SO WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING? UH, WHERE IT SAYS FIVE STUDENTS ACROSS FROM, UH, CHILDCARE AND NURSERY CARE RATHER THAN FIVE STUDENTS SAY ONE AND A HALF WITH ONE WITH ONE SPACE PER ONE AND A HALF STUDENTS.

WHY DOES THE FIVE SHOW UP THERE TWICE? I, I JUST, 'CAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT VERY.

I CAN, I CAN TELL.

OKAY, VERY GOOD.

CAME UP WITH THAT NUMBER.

THANK YOU.

UM, WHEN YOU GUYS BROUGHT IT IN, Y'ALL DISCUSSED IT A LITTLE BIT UP HERE, BUT THAT NUMBER, THE ONE FOR FIVE STUDENTS IS BASED ON THE, THE PICKUP AND DROP OFF BEING STAGGERED OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.

SO IF YOU GO TO APPLY IT TO A, TO A LARGER DAYCARE WITH 200 STUDENTS, IT MAKES THE PARKING LOT MASSIVE, WAY BIGGER THAN THEY'LL EVER USE FOR JUST PICK UP AND DROP OFF.

AND FOR STAFF DURING THE DAY.

UH, THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY POINT AT THESE DAYCARES AND THINGS WHERE ALL THE PARENTS ARE THERE AT THE SAME TIME WITH ALL THE STUDENTS, UH, FOR A FUNCTION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO MAYBE WE OUGHT TO ADD IN THERE, UH, PER UH, DROP OFF PER PERIOD OR DESIGNATION.

RIGHT.

AND THAT WAS ADD A TABLE FOR SO THEY COULD USE THAT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

MM-HMM .

OKAY.

I UNDERSTAND.

IS THERE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THERE'S AT DAYCARES THERE'S NOT A DESIGNATED DROP OFF.

IT'S BASICALLY PARENTS TAKE 'EM WHEN THEY GO TO WORK.

CORRECT.

WHENEVER THAT WORK MIGHT BE CORRECT.

SO I DON'T WANNA OVER-ENGINEER A DAYCARE.

YEAH.

OURS IS FROM SIX.

I WANT IT TO BE USABLE.

SO THREE HOURS, THEY JUST HAVE TO BE THERE BY NINE.

GARY, HAVE YOU SEEN A PROBLEM? IS IT, I KNOW WE HAD PROBLEMS AT THE FIRST METHODIST CHURCH AND THAT WAS JUST OUT IN THE STREET AND THEY WERE TRYING BULLET AND NOW THEY HAVE IT WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE STACKING LANES.

THEY JUST, I THINK THEY JUST PARK IT.

UH, THIS COULD BE A PART AND THE ONLY TIME THIS HURTS IN, UH, AT THE CHAPEL WOOD BE WITH THE RAIN SITUATIONS.

UH, I THINK AS YOU DESCRIBED, THEY'RE ALL DRIVING IN AND DROPPING OFF KIDS SO THERE'S NOT AN ISSUE.

BUT IN A RAIN SITUATION WHERE YOU DO HAVE THE COVERED THING, IT WOULD BE A, A PROBLEM ONCE WE PUT THE COVER UP, THE USAGE OF THAT COVER IS GONNA HAVE TO BE ADMINISTRATORS STAY HANDLED DURING THE IMPLEMENT DAYS.
