[Plats ]
ONE AGENDA.EVERYTHING IN THE MEETING WILL BE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA AND COMMISSIONER DEANTE IS RECUSING, SO HE'S GOING TO STEP OUT.
UM, WE DO HAVE A COUPLE PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AND A VOICEMAIL TO HEAR, SO WE WILL START WITH A VOICEMAIL FOR ITEM NUMBER TWO.
I LIVE AT 1 6 1 4 MARFORD LANE IN SAN ANTONIO.
I AM CALLING REGARDING CASE ENDING 0 5 6.
AND I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN OVER ANY MORE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA.
I FEEL LIKE THAT AREA IN QUESTION IS ALREADY VERY DENSELY POPULATED AND I'M GENERALLY AGAINST ANY NEW MULTI-FAMILY DENSE PROJECTS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA DUE TO TRAFFIC CONCERNS, SAFETY AND LOSING THE OVERALL CHARM AND VALUE OF THE AREA.
THE RECENT BUILDINGS AROUND THAT AREA ARE HIDEOUS AND DO NOT REFLECT THE CULTURAL ARCHITECTURE, BUT A CHEAP URBAN PROJECT DESIGN.
UM, AND IT'S ATTRACTING, UH, COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE THAT ARE USING DRUGS AND POSSIBLY COMMITTING CRIMES, UM, IN SOME OF THOSE APARTMENT STRUCTURES.
UM, TRAFFIC ON THE STREET ON SUNSET AND EVER EVEREST CAN BE DENT WITH MANY CARS SPEEDING ALONG THE ROADS, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENING.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SPEED BUMPS PLACED ON EVEREST AS ANIMALS ARE BEING HIT AND KILLED.
AND AS I MENTIONED, CRIME IS A PROBLEM IN THE AREA IN QUESTION.
I HAVE PERSONALLY WITNESSED DRUG DEALS AND PROSTITUTION.
WE ALSO NEED MORE PARKS, MORE OPEN SPACES FOR RECREATION AND WILDLIFE.
THIS COMMUNITY IS A QUIET, VERY OLD ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY AND I HATE TO SEE IT CHANGE AND UM, I HOPE THAT WHATEVER YOU'RE PLANNING TO BUILD THERE WILL REFLECT THAT.
WE ALSO HAVE, UH, CYNTHIA LOPEZ SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON ITEM TWO.
PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
I LIVE AT 1622 MARY FORD LANE AND PRETTY MUCH WHAT, UM, MARY HAD SAID ON THE ADDRESS OF 1614, UM, THERE IS STARTING TO BE SO MUCH, UH, TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH THERE AND YES, VERY AT VERY FAST SPEEDS.
UM, I FEEL LIKE IT'S NO LONGER A RESIDENTIAL, UH, COMMUNITY THERE.
UM, I WOULD WANTED TO KEEP IT BECAUSE IT'S, WE'VE BEEN THERE SO LONG, THAT'S ACTUALLY MY PARENTS' HOME AND NOW I'M THE ONE THAT, UH, IS LIVING THERE.
SO I'VE NOTICED A BIG CHANGE IN THE AREA.
IT'S, I FEEL LIKE IT'S BECOMING A BUSINESS, UH, AREA INSTEAD OF RESIDENTIAL.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT STAY AS, UM, AS IS.
AND ALSO JUST CONCERNS ABOUT, UH, THE STREETS.
THERE'S LIKE BUMPS, UM, HOLES AND I MEAN, THEY TRY TO REPLACE IT AND THEN IT JUST, IT'S ALL OVER AGAIN
[00:05:01]
THE SAME ISSUE.SO I WOULD JUST PREFER IT TO KEEP IT AS IS.
UM, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF BUILDING AROUND THERE LIKE, UH, CONDOS AND UH, FOURPLEXES AND SO ON.
SO I WOULD LIKE IT TO STAY MORE RESIDENTIAL AS IT USED TO BE.
UM, ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, WE HAVE ALAN HART SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT ITEM NUMBER ONE HAS ALSO BEEN POSTPONED AND IS NOT PART OF THIS, UH, CONSENT AGENDA TODAY.
AND ALSO ITEM NUMBER 13 IS NOT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA TODAY.
UM, IS THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA NOW WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I MOVE TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA, PLEASE.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER PROFIT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SIEGEL.
SOMEBODY CAN GET COMMISSIONER BUSANTE UNLESS HE HIT THE ROAD.

[Director’s Report ]
IS THERE A DIRECTOR'S REPORT? I NOT AS OF TODAY.WELL ACTUALLY IF YOU DON'T MIND, UH, MR. CHAIR.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE Y'ALL AN UPDATE.
THE, UM, OPEN SEATS THAT FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UM, THOSE ARE GONNA BE CONSIDERED AT THE FEBRUARY 17TH GOVERNANCE MEETING.
UM, THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE REAPPLIED HAVE BEEN CONTACTED, UH, TO ATTEND THAT MEETING, UH, MOST LIKELY IN THE PREVIOUS UM, SITUATIONS.
