The Week of April 5th - 9th, 2021 in the City of Waxahachie


 Happy Easter, Friends!
 
I hope that everyone is having a great weekend!  We have a few city meetings this week, but before I get into those, I wanted to let you know that there are some very interesting draft minutes I've scanned in for your review.  They discuss what happened at the Airport Board meeting in regards to renaming the airport (spoiler alert - the renaming was denied); the details of the North Grove zoning case that had several residents speak in opposition; and, the status of things with the Lake Parks Steering Committee.  The draft minutes can be reviewed here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MkPIu_sHO5lF8U9yBm3LMFkyfvB6qA1Y/view?usp=sharing

6:00 PM - City Council Briefing Session
Council Conference Room, City Hall
 

This briefing is to discuss items for the 7:00 PM regular meeting.  Due to the length of the meeting agenda, the briefing will begin at 6 PM. Briefing sessions are highly informative. Residents are welcome to attend; however, the briefing sessions are not live-streamed at this time.

--------------------------------------------------------
7:00 PM - City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall


As always, I will point out some items which I think you might find of interest, but all items and their detail can be found in the agenda packet, linked above.
 
6 - Consider City of Waxahachie Annual Financial Report for year ended September 30, 2020.  When this is approved by Council, it will be added to the city's website where you can review it along with past annual financial reports as well.  http://www.waxahachie.com/departments/finance/finance_documents.php#outer-108

**7-10: The Emory Lakes PID and zoning cases are all continued to the 4/13/21 Planning & Zoning meeting and the 4/19/21 City Council meeting.  There will be no information presented nor considered regarding these items at this meeting.**
 
16-18: Public hearing on a request for property owner Mark Singleton, North Grove 12.5 LLC Series 1, to amend existing Ordinance # 2733 to create a Planned Development allowing for retail, commercial, office, multi-family apartments and townhome uses.  The only change that is being requested is to add the townhome use to the planned development.  All other existing uses are allowed by right through the existing ordinance approved on March 3, 2014. Here is a link to that ordinance: https://library.municode.com/tx/waxahachie/ordinances/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=638267  

21 - Discuss appointment of Comprehensive Plan Committee and take any necessary action.  I am assuming that staff will present a list for our review/discussion at the briefing, as there was no list given to us in the agenda packet.

22 -23:  Convene into executive session for consultation with attorney regarding pending or contemplated litigation as permitted under Section 551.071, Texas Government Code. Reconvene and take any necessary action.  I don't know what the matter is for sure, but legally, Council is not allowed to share details of executive sessions, except for any action that may be taken when we reconvene into the Council chamber.

This meeting is open to the public, but is also live-streamed at the following link: http://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php
