GRATEFUL TO BE PART OF THE EVENING. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE FOLKS WHO ARE WORKING AT MERCY MEDICAL WITH A WONDERFUL NONPROFIT WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THEY HAD THE ANNUAL BREAKFAST LAST WEEK AND STORYTELLING AND IT'S AWESOME FOR THE WORK THAT IS GOING ON WITHIN THAT MINISTRY. I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO. COMING UP HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE , IN FACT, TOMORROW, I WILL BE IN THE COUNTY DEVELOPMENT AS THEY RECOGNIZE CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH AND APPRECIATE LAURA AND ALL OF HER OUT AND ECSTATIC OUT THERE WHO ARE TRYING TO REHAB AND WORK WITH OUR CHILDREN THAT HAVE FACED TOUGH TIMES IN OUR AREA. I APPRECIATE THAT AND LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING TIME WITH THEM TOMORROW. I LOOK FORWARD TO CITY FEST NEXT SATURDAY AND THANK OUR STAFF HERE AT THE CITY OF AUBURN. I KNOW PARKS AND REC PULLS A HEAVY WEIGHT ON THIS. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE INVOLVED BUT THERE'S A LOT OF CARS INVOLVED IN THE LOT TRASH INVOLVED. THERE'S A LOT OF LOGISTICS INVOLVED. IT'S A HUGE UNDERTAKING AND I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S WILLINGNESS TO PITCH IN AND PROVIDE A GREAT TIME FOR OUR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY AND THOSE WHO LIVE OUTSIDE OUR COMMUNITY . I HOPE AND PRAY FOR GREAT WEATHER. THE PRAYER FOR SEVERAL HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE AND CELEBRATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION BUILDING. ACTUALLY THIS THURSDAY.

THAT IS CERTAINLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND THE PRESIDENT DAY CEREMONY WILL BE OCCURRING OVER AT THE NICHOLSON. NEXT WEEK AS THE ROTC UNITS FROM AUBURN UNIVERSITY WILL BE RECOGNIZING PRESIDENT ROBERTS AND THANKING HIM FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE TO THE THEIR EFFORTS. RECENTLY, WE RECOGNIZED OUR THEME -- OUR 911 TEAM WITH A PSAP OF THE YEAR AND MS. CROUCH, I WAS GOING TO ASK SOMEONE TO PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE DAIS, EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS AND WE'RE CERTAINLY PROUD OF ANY RECOGNITION THEY RECEIVE. I KNOW THEY WORK ON.

>> EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES WILL BE HAPPY

TO EXPLAIN. >> CERTAINLY, WE ARE VERY PROUD OF ALL OF OUR STAFF THAT WORKS INSIDE THE COMMUNICATION CENTER. PSAP IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINT.

IT'S 4:30 THAT AFTERNOON ON A WEDNESDAY. AND LAST, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IS ABOUT THE 911. I THINK IT'S A FASCINATING THING. WE HAVE AN ENHANCED CAPABILITY NOW TOWER 911 SYSTEM AS I UNDERSTAND IT. AND IF I HAVE THIS RIGHT, THE HEARING IMPAIRED PERSON CAN TEXT 911 . AND SOMEBODY WHO DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH CAN CALL 911 AND BE AUTOMATICALLY

>> WHAT'S YOUR ADDRESS MR. JACKSON?

>> I AM STILL AT 814 EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT HAVE PASSED THERE AND SEEN SOME CHANGE IN GOING ON. I'M STILL THERE, PLAN TO REMAIN THERE. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY, --

>> 814. >> MOST COLLEGE. THE SAME ADDRESS WE'VE BEEN TALKING IN A. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 100 YEARS. I WANT TO SAY TO THE COUNCIL, ONE YEAR OR SO AGO, I ALMOST WENT BLIND, THAT'S WHY I'M WEARING THE SHADES TONIGHT. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE COUNCIL NOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD APPROVED THIS SAME PROJECT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THE DEVELOPER, ALONG WITH SOME HELP IN THE CITY COERCED MY 88-YEAR-OLD MOTHER TO BRING IT BEFORE THE COUNCIL WHEN SHE ONLY HAD A LIFE ESTATE . THE COUNCIL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED IT. IT FLEW THROUGH. IT DIED. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE LOOKING BACK AT IT

[00:15:01]

THAT'S WHY I'M STANDING HERE IN FRONT OF YOU ALL. I'VE LIVED HERE ALL MY LIFE IN THAT PARTICULAR RESIDENCE. AND THIS MAY BE THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER MEETING. I WANT TO PROMISE YOU BY THE POWER THAT IS VESTED IN ME AND MY GOD , THIS IS NOT GOING TO END HERE TONIGHT . IF YOU GUYS TAKE PART IN IT, YOU WILL BE A PART OF WHAT'S BEEN PUSHED DOWN THE PEOPLE ON IT ONE FOR COLLEGE , SUCH AS MYSELF AND MY OTHER HEIRS.

NOW, CHECK THE LIST OF ENDINGS, CHECK THE ALABAMA SUPREME COURT. I BEG OF YOU, TABLE THIS UNTIL YOU CAN DO YOUR HOMEWORK. MY ANCESTORS SHARE CROP , PICK COTTON , I WANT TO SAY, THEY EVEN TOLD ME THEY STOLE COTTON AND CORN TO PAY FOR THIS PROPERTY. WE OWN PROPERTY OF THE STREET AND WE PLAN NOT TO GO AWAY QUIETLY . IF THE CITY WANTS TO BE A PART OF THIS PARTICULAR ACTION, APPROVE IT . BUT IF NOT, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. I PROMISE YOU, WE ARE WITHIN OUR RIGHTS . AND I THINK THAT MY FATHER , SERVING ON THIS COUNSEL, IF HE WAS ALIVE TONIGHT, THAT HIS PRIMARY RESIDENCE. HE WOULD BE STANDING HERE IN MY STAND. SO, I ASK YOU GUYS TONIGHT AVOID LEGAL PROCEEDINGS THAT MAY COME . EVEN THOUGH SOME OF YOU GUYS KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT, BUT IF YOU CHECK THE RECORDS, TO AFFECT CHECK, YOU WILL FIND THAT MY MOTHER WAS 88 YEARS OLD, DIED ON THE 10TH OF LAST MONTH. MY BROTHER HAS HAD MENTAL PROBLEMS EVER SINCE HIS TWIN BROTHER PASSED AWAY. HE WAS NOT IN HIS BEST MIND WHEN HE AND MY MOTHER CAME BEFORE

THE COUNCIL. THANK YOU. >> WHO WILL BE NEXT? THE APPLICANT. THE TRUE FACT IN THIS IS THAT MY CLIENT HAS INDEED . THE DATA, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN LITIGATED . THE DEEDS ON THIS PROPERTY , AND WE HAVE A DEED AND AN APPLICATION BEFORE YOU. REGARDLESS, I THINK THE CITY ATTORNEY CAN SPEAK TO THE STATUS OF THE LIST PENDANT AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. BUT MY CLIENTS HAVE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY. THEY HAVE A DEED AND A CLICK STEED. THERE WAS A SALE AND WE HAVE A DEED AND NOW WE WOULD LIKE TO DO THE PROJECT. I CANNOT SPEAK FOR WHAT HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO, BUT I DO KNOW WE HAVE A DEED THAT IS DATED AS PROBABLY ABOUT 45 DAYS AGO AND THAT'S THE CLICK STEED ON THE PROPERTY. WE ARE THE LEGAL OWNER OF THE -- MY CLIENT IS THE LEGAL OWNER OF

[00:20:06]

>> WHO WAS THE SELLER IN THE TRANSACTION?

>> HIS MOTHER. >> WAS CONSIDERATION -- WAS

MONEY PASS? >> YES. EVERYTHING WAS PAID .

THERE IS A LEGAL SALE. >> WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER COUNSEL QUESTIONS WHEN WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING IF THERE'S FURTHER QUESTIONS. AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S GERMANE AND WHAT NOT GERMANE TO YOUR DECISION THIS EVENING.

>> WHO WILL BE NEXT? ANYONE? WE WILL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.

NOT HAVE BEEN ON YOUR AGENDA IF IT DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER LEGAL DOCUMENTATION. WAS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS PURELY A DECISION ABOUT CONDITIONAL USE AT THIS LOCATION. ANYTHING RELATIVE TO THE DEED HAS TO MET THE LEGAL STANDARDS, WHICH IT HAS MET. IF THERE'S A PRIVATE CIVIL MANNER GOING ON OVER THE SPEED OF THE PROPERTY, DOES NOT HAVE ALL THE CITY. WE ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THIS ANY WAY SHAPE OR CANNOT BE PART OF YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. YOUR CONSIDERATION IS PURELY ON CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS, WHAT'S BEFORE YOU.

THE REQUEST FOR FIVE UNITS ON THIS LOT. THAT'S IT. THE CITY ATTORNEY IS PRESENT AND CAN ANSWER A QUESTION. BUT I NEED TO REMIND YOU THE CITY IS NOT PART OF THIS LITIGATION AND WE DO NOT WANT TO SPECULATE ANYTHING THAT IS GOING ON, OTHERWISE WE HAVE A VALID DEED, AS MR. VAZQUEZ THING , THAT'S BEEN REVIEWED BY LEGAL COUNSEL AS VALID AND STAFF HAS INSTRUCTED TO PROCEED WITH PROCESSING THE APPLICATION THE

WAY THAT WE ALWAYS DO. >> DOES THE COUNCIL WANT MR. CLARK TO COME UP HERE AND GO INSIDE ANYTHING?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. >> WAS YOUR QUESTION FOR

CONNIE? >> I DON'T KNOW WHO IT'S FOR.

>> WHY DON'T YOU ASK IN THE CITY MANAGER WILL GO FROM

THERE. >> WHAT YEAR WAS THIS DONE? BECAUSE HIS MOM DIED, HE SAID JUST A MONTH AGO. SO, THE

PROPERTY WAS SOLD LIKE WHEN? >> AGAIN BACK TO THIS, WITH THE PROPERTY BEING SOLD, THIS IS NOT A QUESTION THAT WE GET TO ASK RELATIVE TO CONDITIONAL USE. ONE OF THE THINGS, LEGAL ACTION BEFORE YOU -- WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY LEGAL COUNSEL -- YOU HEREBY CONDITIONAL USE ONLY AS A REQUEST BY COMMISSIONER VASQUEZ CLIENT. ANY CONSIDERATION ABOUT THE DEED DOES NOT INVOLVE THE CITY COUNCIL. THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DECIDED BY COURT. I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE IT WAS NOT GERMANE TO THE APPLICATION.

>> ANY FURTHER CONFLICT OR QUESTIONS OVER THE DEED WOULD

HAPPEN TO THE COURTS, RIGHT? >> CORRECT.

>> STAFF DOES NOT HAVE A HISTORY BECAUSE WE DO NOT CREATE DEEDS. THAT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS OUTSIDE THE CITIES

VIEW. >> IS THERE ANYBODY ON THE COUNCIL TO HAVE A DESIRE FOR MR. CLARK TO COME FORWARD AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS RELATING.

>> WENT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT MR. JACKSON'S SAID.

HE MCBETH BETWEEN MR. JACKSON AND THE COURT AND HAS NOTHING

TO DO WITH THE CITY COUNCIL. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE

COUNCIL? >> YES?

>> YES, THANK YOU. LOOKING INTO THE PREVIOUS ACTION ON THIS.

THERE IS CONDITIONAL USE APPROVED THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND AUGUST OF 21 AND FOR THE CITY COUNCIL IN AUGUST OF 21 FOR PERFORMANCE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT . HOW DOES THIS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT'S BEEN PREVIOUSLY

APPROVED? >> THANK YOU. ONE OF THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IT IS THIS ONE IS ONLY FIVE UNITS. SO, WITH THIS JUST IN VOTING, HAS ONLY BEEN FIVE UNITS. THIS ONE IS DEPARTURE FROM A DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS BEFORE YOU AT THE LAST APPROVAL AND THIS ONE IS ONLY IN FIVE UNITS ON THE

SITE. >> THIS IS A SMALLER DEVELOPMENT THAT PREVIOUSLY APPROVED?

>> AND THOSE FIVE BUILDINGS, THERE'S ONLY FIVE HITS. THIS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HIT US WITH THIS PROJECT ALONG WITH THE MULTITUDE OF OTHER PROJECTS. NORMALLY, UNITS EXIST AND MULTIPLE UNITS EXIST INSIDE ONE BUILDING. WITH THIS ONE, ONE BUILDING IS THE UNIT. A KIND OF THOSE THINGS OFF FROM THERE. THAT'S THE MAIN DIFFERENCE.

>> THANK YOU. I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. I SAID, THERE'S FIVE UNITS, AND 20 OR SO VEHICLES OR MORE RESIDENCE.

ALL EXITING ONTO THE COLLEGE THROUGH AN EXISTING HER, I THINK. WHAT'S THE TRAFFIC IMPACT OF THIS ADDITIONAL

[00:25:03]

>> SHOULD BE MINIMAL IMPACT . THERE WAS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME OR IS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ON THE RESIDENCE. ON THE SMALL NATURE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT SHOULD NOT SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT

IMPACTS. >> IS TRAFFIC STUDY REQUIRED?

>> IT'S NOT REQUIRED FOR SOMETHING THE SMALL.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION? RDD, THE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW LONG IT'S BEEN RDD? DID IT COME ABOUT AS A RESULT OF THE

COMP PLAN 2030 ? >> IT'S LIKELY BEEN RDD PROBABLY SINCE 1984. IT WOULD TAKE US A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO

CHECK. >> THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH. IT'S

BEEN A LONG TIME. >> IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME TO MY KNOWLEDGE. SOMEONE CAN CLICK ON THE MAP AND THEY WILL FIND OUT IN A SECOND HERE. IF YOU BRING UP THE CITY'S GIS FOR EVERYONE'S INFORMATION AND YOU HAVE THE ZONING LANTERN ON . IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, CLICK ON THE PARCEL. IT THE INFO BOX THAT WILL COME UP AND TELL YOU WHAT YEAR THE ORDINANCE WAS PASSED AND WHEN IT WAS PUT IN THERE. SO, OUR PLANE DIRECTOR IS GETTING INTO THAT IN JUST A SECOND HERE.

>> SO, I THINK THIS IS THE WRONG PROJECT.

>> LIKELY A VERY LONG TIME. >> I CAN ASK 14 MORE QUESTIONS.

FOR THIS, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION?

>> WE WILL ALL STARE AT HIM WHILE HE'S TRYING TO FIGURE IT

OUT. >> IT'S ALL GOOD.

>> THE UNSPOKEN QUESTION HERE THAT I'M GOING TO THERE OUT IS WE DON'T WANT EVERYTHING ALONG WITH COLLEGE TO LOOK JUST LIKE THIS. AND I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO BE LOVELY . I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT CONDITION TO OUR LANDSCAPE AS PEOPLE DRIVE IN THROUGH THAT GATEWAY . BUT, A KIND OF CAUGHT US BY SURPRISE TO THINK THAT THE WHOLE THING IS ONLY THIS. WHEN I SAY THE WHOLE THING, I MEAN FROM THERE UP NORTH, I WOULD GUESS. OR JUST PAST THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.

SO, IT IS NOT MY INTENTION, NOT MY DESIRE, AT LEAST, THE WHOLE COLLEGE AREA THAT'S AVAILABLE LOOK LIKE . I SUPPOSE IT COULD . SO, THE SECOND BEST ALTERNATIVE IS TO PLEASE MAKE IT NICE . PLEASE MAKE IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ALL PROUD OF. AND, WE WILL DEAL WITH THE TRAFFIC AS WE NEED TO, BUT THIS IS ALL OF OUR HOMES. THIS IS OUR FRONT PORCH, IF YOU WILL, AND THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE SEE. I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT.

HAVE ONE THE ZONING WOULD CHANGE WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY ANNEXED INTO THE PROPERTY. SO, OR INTO THE CITY. THAT WAS ORIGINALLY AT 1960. I CANNOT FIND ANY THING ELSE.

>> WE WILL CONFIRM LATER. BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A DATE RESIDING IN HERE, THAT TYPICALLY MEANS 1984.

>> AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN ON STAFF, IS BEEN ALREADY DEEMED.

COUNCIL OR COMMENTS? >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND, CORRECT? ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED ? ONE

OPPOSITION. >> JUST ONE ?

>> MOTION CARRIES . >> I WILL FLIP BACK OVER HERE.

>> I THINK I'VE ASKED THIS IN THE PAST, BUT THIS IS AN INDUSTRIAL ZONE . AND WE'RE DOING A CONDITIONAL USE FOR INDUSTRIAL USE. ARE WE DOING -- WHY IS IT IT ALREADY

APPROVED? >> CORRECT. THIS HAS BEEN THIS WAY BASICALLY SINCE THE ZONING ORDINANCE WAS IMPLEMENT IT IN THE 80S. THE REASON FOR THAT IS THERE ARE SOME INDUSTRIAL USES BATTERY ACID PLANS, OTHER THINGS THAT MAY BE DOING THINGS THE COUNCIL WOULD NOT DESIRE OR NOT THINK IS APPROPRIATE BASED ON ADJOINING PROPERTIES IN THE STONES.

COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL?

>> CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW THE CONTRACTOR , THE LITTLE BIT HERE SOMEONE FAIRLY NEW TO US, MAYBE NOT NEW TO THE BUSINESS, BUT A NEW NAME THAT WE HAVE NOT SEEN.

THE BEASLEY CONSTRUCTION HAS A VERY NICE WEBSITE. THEY HAVE A LOT OF AND DONE A LOT OF WORK ON PUBLIC PROJECTS AND CITY ENGINEER FRAZIER CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT. THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE A LIST OF SUBCONTRACTORS AND THE LINE. ONCE AWARDED, IS THAT CORRECT,

>> FOR A TOTAL OF 18, 12 THAT THE FIRST PROJECT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT EVERYBODY KNOW WE ARE GOING WITH

>> HE DOES HAVE PRETTY SEVERAL PROJECTS WITH TURF AND STEVE AND THAT SOCCER COMPLEX. IT ACTUALLY CONVERTED FOR FIELD OUT THERE. IT'S A PRACTICE AREA AND ONTO TURF. THIS IS DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF LAKE AND BOTH THESE AND ADULTS WE SEE AS NECESSARY. ALSO, MOTHER NATURE CAN BE A LITTLE VICIOUS WITH THE AMOUNT OF RAIN WE GET AT TIMES AND IT A LITTLE BIT FASTER AND DON'T GET RUINED WHEN WE PLAY ON THEM AND THEY

ARE NATURALLY DRAINED . >> ARE WE MOVING TOWARD USING

TURF IN THESE INSTANCES ? >> I WILL SAY THAT WE WILL. BUT TO SAY WE WON'T KEEP NATURAL SURFACE, THE PLAN IS TO HAVE A BLEND OF BOTH. BUT ON NEW FIELDS, WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF NATURAL SURFACE FIELDS AND THEN WE SAW A LOT ON THE MILL ROAD AT MARJORIE AND PEPPER BAILEY, WE WE DID THAT AND KEVIN DID A GREAT JOB OF GETTING THAT TOTALLY REDONE HENRY FENCE.
