The Week of September 23rd - 27th, 2019 in the City of Waxahachie

  

Happy Fall, Y'all!!!

I've been waiting to say that phrase for a while now!  The weather gets cooler (at least it isn't in the 100's anymore right?!); the leaves are turning those beautiful colors (anyone want to rake my cypress leaves?  Just kidding!); and, the kids are back in school.  I AM that annoying person who loves fall way too much... 

Moving on...

There is only one meeting (plus a briefing) scheduled so far for this week!  The City, in an effort to constantly grow and be better, is doing some very interesting things with our city website.  One of those things that is nearly there (although there are still a few bugs here and there) is the City Calendar.  It is great to be able to see all the meetings happening at a glace.  You can click on each item and get the agenda packet from there as well. It's going to be great, but please be patient while it is in progress. Here is a link to it: City Calendar

Again, as you can see, this week's calendar is a bit sparse, as far as meetings go, but that's okay!  Not only that, the P&Z meeting SHOULD be a short one!  If you've ever wanted to come to a meeting, this is a great one to attend.

7:00 PM - Planning & Zoning Commission Regular Meeting
Council Chamber - City Hall
401 S. Rogers St., Waxahachie

Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/33300/9-24-19_P_Z_Agenda_Packet.pdf

There are really only 3 cases being heard at this meeting and they are all pretty basic.  This would be a great meeting if you've never been to one.

1) Replat request: RP-19-0110, staff is recommending approval

2) Public Hearing: SU-19-0112, Request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) by Mark Thedford for an 1800 sq ft Accessory Building located at 3100 Brown St. (Property ID 138230) - Owner: Ladd Vien

The applicant is requesting approve to construct 1800 sq. ft. addition to an existing 1800 sq. ft. addition out of wood and metal to match the existing structure and to be used for storage of such items as roof shingles and hay.  Staff has noticed construction has been started before the permit has been issued and is recommending denial for multiple reasons. (Please refer  to the Agenda Packet link above - # 6 & 7.

3) Continue Public Hearing: SU-19-0098, Request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) by Kevin Cribley for Outside Storage use within a commercial and light industrial-1 zoning district, located at 100 W Sterrett (Property ID 273754) - Owner: M & M Investments

Staff is recommending denial on this case because at the time of this report (09/19/2019), the applicant had not submitted any revisions to staff to address staff concerns.  Due to insufficient information and the disregarding of the requirements of the SUP and Certificate of Occupancy, staff recommends denial for the proposed use. (This is all stated in the agenda packet)

The public is welcome to attend this meeting, although it will be live-streamed and can be viewed by going to this link Link to: City Meeting Live Stream and then clicking "Watch Live".
