Hello Neighbors!
I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful (albeit windy) weekend! We have had several meetings recently and I've scanned in the draft minutes of those meetings for your review. Of particular interest are the following draft minutes: Heritage Preservation Commission, Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 1, Keep Waxahachie Beautiful (has dates for upcoming events) and Planning & Zoning Commission meetings. Pretty much all the minutes were very interesting, but that's just me. lol https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xDJtq0ro4TvpDiazQ-g2_sqRSX_KnoQ-
Here are the meetings for this week!

*** One special note ***
There was a particularly contentious P&Z meeting held last Tuesday regarding some apartments at Bessie Coleman and Hwy 77. That case was DENIED at P&Z and the applicant chose not to take the case to Council. Those who want to oppose the case do NOT need to be present at the Council meeting because it is not even on the agenda. I always welcome folks and encourage participation at Council meetings, but at the same time, don't want you to waste your time since it is not on the agenda. That apartment case is considered DENIED at this time. A big THANK YOU to everyone who went to the P&Z Meeting and respectfully let your wishes surrounding that project be known. That was a great example of public participation.
This should be a fairly short meeting.
A couple items of interest include:
5e - Consider TIRZ recommended projects. These include $138,484 for repairs to 421 S. College St., the historic Freight Depot and $25,000 for the faulty parking lot at Glenn's Carpet.
5f - A request for 2020 Junk in the Trunk dates: 04/18, 06/20, 09/19, 11/21
12 & 13 - Public hearing for a Mc Donald's on the SW corner of FM 66 and I-35E
14 & 15 - Changing the name of the Impact Fee Advisory Board to IFCIAC - Impact Fee Capital Improvements Advisory Committee and appointing 3 ad hoc members to that board.
This meeting will be live-streamed by the City at this link: http://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php , but as always, the residents are welcome and encouraged to attend the meetings in person.
