Hello Friends!
It's so beautiful outside, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! We started out by going to the Veteran's ceremony at the Civic Center this morning and it was just a beautiful tribute. We came home, had lunch and then went to one of the city parks near our home. I'm pretty sure I've said before, but it is such a blessing to live here!
We only have the City Council briefing and meeting on Monday posted for this upcoming week, but please refer back to the city's calendar on the website to see if any are added during the week. You can find that here: https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

7:00 PM - City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
401 S. Rogers St.

5f - This is an item that showed up on the agenda for review by the WCDC last week and was unanimously approved at that meeting. This is a request to allow for a private sanitary sewer easement within Waxahachie Sports Complex property. Staff has no concerns regarding this request. I found it to be an odd request, so I spoke with city management about it and they explained that it just allows the applicant, in this case, Mr. Singleton, the ability to have easement access so that he can tie in to the sewer system and be able to develop/sell/whatever his property. If he messes anything up (ie - sidewalks) in the process of the sewer connection, he would be responsible for making repairs and fixing anything of that nature. So, at first, this request seemed weird, but it isn't anything to cause concern.
12 & 13 - This is the P&Z case for the industrial complex that has applied to rezone lane near Settler's Glen. The applicant has requested a continuance to the 12/20/21 Council meeting. That means that Council won't hear any testimony or discuss the case at this Monday's meeting.
** 23 - Consider proposed ordinance adopting Historic Residential Design Guidelines. I'm still in the process of reviewing the guidelines book that I received yesterday, but it looks to be a great thing to protect our historic homes. I am speculating here, but I bet that the city could put a copy of them on the city's website for ease of access for homeowners looking to do any work to their historic homes once they are approved. It would most likely be here on the website if they are to do that: https://www.waxahachie.com/departments/heritage_preservation/index.php In the meantime, there is a plethora of great information in that link regarding our heritage preservation. If you wish to speak on this item (although there's not much to go off of in the packet) you must do so during the Public Comments portion of the meeting, since this is not listed as a public hearing.
** 25 - Consider proposed ordinance regulating the operation of golf carts on public roadways. There have been several citizens who have been interested in this. You can read the proposed verbiage and summary in the agenda packet, linked above. If you'd like to address Council on this item, please do so during the Public Comments portion in the beginning of the meeting, as this is not listed on the agenda as a public hearing. I would love your feedback.
There are many items on this meeting's agenda, but I think I covered those that have garnered the most interest. Please review the agenda packet link above for full details on every item.
This is a public meeting and is open to residents to attend; however, it will also be live-streamed for your convenience. The link to view the live-stream is: https://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php

That's all so far for this week! I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend and a wonderful week ahead!
