[3. CONSENT AGENDA]

ALL RIGHT. THERE IS ONE OTHER ITEM THAT'S A NORMAL CONSENT AGENDA ITEM.

MOTION TO APPROVE I WILL SECOND. HAVE A MOTION BY DAVID.

SECOND BY ASHLEY. ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HANDS. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THERE ARE NO PUBLIC HEARINGS THIS EVENING. WE WILL HAVE THE REPORT AND PRESENTATION ON THE ITEM THAT WE JUST PULLED.

[3.B. Arciniega’s Crossing Addition (Case25-226): Consider and take possible action on a replat for Arciniega’s Crossing Addition, Lot 1R, BLK1, Lot 2, BLK 1, and Lot 3, BLK 1; addressed as 2460 FM 731. (Staff Contact: Emilio Sanchez, Development Services Deputy Director)]

ADRESS IS 2460 FM 731 STAFF PRESENTER IS EMILIO SANCHEZ.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU DID A BETTER JOB OF PRONOUNCING THAT THAN I COULD HAVE, SO. BEFORE I GET INTO THIS, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK TWO OF OUR COMMISSIONERS WHO WILL BE ROLLING OFF OF THE COMMISSION.

THIS WILL BE THEIR LAST MEETING. MISS COBI TITTLE AND MR. BILL JANUSCH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY, WE APPRECIATE THAT.

THE REPLAT THAT'S BEFORE YOU THIS AFTERNOON AFTER THE AGENDA WAS POSTED, THE SURVEYOR CALLED YESTERDAY, AND THE APPLICANT WAS JUST ABOUT TO SIGN THE MILERS TO BRING IN FOR OUR SIGNATURES WHEN THEY NOTICED THAT DURING DISCUSSIONS WITH TXDOT. TXDOT ALLOWED THEM TO GET A NEW DRIVE APPROACH SO THAT THEY DID NOT NEED A LONG ACCESS EASEMENT FOR A THIRD LOT. AND WHAT'S BEFORE YOU ARE THE CHANGES THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING.

SO THIS IS THE CHANGE THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE THAT'S IN YOUR PACKET.

LOT 2 IS 5., EXCUSE ME, 1.449 ACRES INSTEAD OF 1 ACRE. AND THEN THAT LOT 1 BECOMES 5.1 ACRES INSTEAD OF THE 5.9. SO THEY DIDN'T CHANGE ANY OF THE ACREAGE THAT'S INVOLVED IN THIS PLOT.

ALL THEY DID WAS CHANGE A PARTICULAR LOT LINE TO INCLUDE AN AREA LARGE ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY CAN HAVE.

LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET THIS DRIVE APPROACH HERE.

THE NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SLIDE ON THE, EXCUSE ME, THE PLAT ON THE LEFT IS THEIR PROPOSED CHANGES.

THE PLAT ON THE RIGHT IS WHAT WAS IN YOUR PACKET.

SO THE AREA HERE WAS A ACCESS EASEMENT FOR LOT 3 AND LOT 2.

[00:05:04]

SO LINES THAT CHANGED, DIMENSIONS AND DATES THAT CHANGED FROM WHEN THE PLAT WAS ORIGINALLY PRODUCED TO TODAY.

AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, BUT THE PLAT IS ADMINISTRATIVELY, IT MEETS ALL OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, EMILIO. DOES ANYONE ON THE COMMISSION HAVE QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, IF NOT, WE'LL HEAR A MOTION. I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE REPLAT IN CASE 25-226. I'LL SECOND. MOTION BY COBI. SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HANDS. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE NO GENERAL ITEMS. NO COMMUNITY INTEREST ITEMS, AND NO RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK BILL AND COBI FOR BEING HERE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND FOR YOUR SERVICE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU GUYS WANT TO SAY. NO.

BILL. YEAH. LIKE I TALKED TO YOU ABOUT A LITTLE BIT PEGGY IN THE BACK.

YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE YOU GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND. I'VE GONE TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT BOARD MEETINGS.

AND NOBODY EVEN TOUCHES ANYWHERE TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU GO.

I MEAN, IT SHOWS THE ATTENDANCE HERE THAT WE HAVE, I THINK, IS, YOU PREPARE US.

I MEAN, YOU SEND OUT EMAILS, DOUBLE CHECK. MAKE SURE IF YOU DON'T HEAR BACK FROM US, YOU'RE CALLING, I'VE GONE TO SOME OF THESE COMMITTEE MEETINGS WHEN THEY'RE REAL IMPORTANT AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE QUORUM. NOT EVEN CLOSE. I WENT TO ONE ONE TIME.

IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO. I THINK THERE WAS 2 OR 3 MEETINGS THAT DAY. ALL OF THEM WERE CANCELED.

AND I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT OF WIND OUT OF Y'ALL'S SAILS WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

STAFF, TOO, BECAUSE A LOT OF WASTED TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU AND EMILIO, TONY.

AND THEN NOT HERE. BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR GUYS.

THE KNOWLEDGE, THE EXPERIENCE, THE STUFF, THE CAMARADERIE AND STUFF, TALKING AND TAKING TIME TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO US.

A LOT OF THIS STUFF, I KNEW SOME OF IT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW. AND I'LL STILL CONTINUE TO LEARN. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I'M STILL GOING TO BE A THORN IN SOME PEOPLE'S SIDES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

CLINT IS NOT HERE TONIGHT, BUT IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY, SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CLINT. I WAS PART OF THIS GROUP FOR, I THINK, A LITTLE OVER FOUR YEARS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

NEVER MISSED, NEVER LATE. MATTER OF FACT, HAVEN'T EVEN MISSED A COUNCIL MEETING IN OVER SIX YEARS BECAUSE I SAW PROBLEMS BACK THEN, SO THAT'S WHY I STARTED GOING TO COUNCIL MEETINGS. I SPOKE UP.

I MEAN, THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET ME OFF OF THIS THING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. DIDN'T GET REAPPOINTED BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BOW DOWN TO SOMEBODY.

SO IT IS WHAT IT IS. LIKE I SAID, WHEN I SEE PROBLEMS, WHETHER IT BE A STAFF MEMBER WASTING, I THINK, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVER SEVERAL YEARS OR SOMEBODY ELSE TRYING TO WORK WITH A CITY OFFICIAL TO TRY AND BUILD UP LINES AND STUFF AGAINST ANOTHER CITY OFFICIAL TO GET THEM FIRED. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

WHEN WE GOT COUNCIL MEMBER THAT WATCHES BALL GAMES INSTEAD OF PAYING ATTENTION.

DON'T EVEN STUDY AGENDA. I PROBLEM WITH THAT TOO.

I MEAN, I'LL STILL CALL IT OUT LIKE IT IS. NOW THAT I'M A FREE, YOU KNOW, CITIZEN, DON'T HAVE TO WATCH MY P'S AND Q'S.

YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM ME, BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. MATT, SAME THING.

THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE THAT YOU BRING WITH THE THE LEGAL ASPECT OF IT.

I REALLY APPRECIATE. DEVELOPMENT, I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE GREAT.

I MEAN, EVEN MICHELLE'S NOT HERE EITHER. BUT I ENJOYED WORKING WITH HER, AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THE CITY MAKE STRIDES.

I MEAN, A LOT OF THE PROBLEM PLAYERS ARE GONE 1 OR 2 MORE.

I THINK CITY BE IN GREAT SHAPE. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, BILL, I APPRECIATE IT. I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GOING TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. AND THIS LOOKS LIKE I PREPARED A SPEECH, I REALLY DIDN'T. I ACTUALLY MADE A POST ON FACEBOOK, AND I THINK BRANDON AND I ARE THE ONLY ONES HERE THAT ARE FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK, SO IF I COULD JUST READ WHAT I PUT ON FACEBOOK ABOUT PLANNING AND ZONING.

OKAY. AS I WRAP UP MY THREE YEAR TERM AS COMMISSIONER ON THE CITY OF BURLINGTON'S PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TONIGHT, I FIND MYSELF FILLED WITH DEEP GRATITUDE, A TOUCH OF AWE, AND A WHOLE LOT OF RESPECT.

WHEN I BEGAN THIS JOURNEY, MY GOAL WAS SIMPLE TO EXPAND MY UNDERSTANDING OF CITY GOVERNMENT.

EVEN WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF WORK IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND A MASTER'S DEGREE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, MY GOVERNMENT EXPERIENCE WAS LIMITED TO STATE AND COUNTY LEVELS.

I KNEW THERE WAS MORE FOR ME TO LEARN AND MORE TO SEE.

BEHIND THE SCENES OF HOW A CITY GROWS, EVOLVES, AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

WHAT I DISCOVERED EXCEEDED EVERY EXPECTATION.

I WITNESSED FIRSTHAND JUST HOW COMPETENT AND DEDICATED AND FORWARD THINKING OUR CITY ENGINEERS AND LEADERSHIP TRULY ARE.

[00:10:02]

I WAS REMINDED THAT GOOD GOVERNANCE IS NOT JUST ABOUT POLICY, IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE, PASSION AND PURPOSE.

TO MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS, CITY STAFF AND ALL WHO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A SMALL PART OF SOMETHING THAT IS MUCH BIGGER THAN ME. BURLESON IS IN GOOD HANDS, AND I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD TO HAVE PLAYED A ROLE, HOWEVER SMALL, IN SHAPING ITS FUTURE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.

YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL. WE APPRECIATE YOU.

YOU BET. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY? NOTHING. DON'T ASK ME TWICE. I KNOW. [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'D BETTER GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN THIS THING AT 6:11 P.M.
