Based upon the preceding analysis, staff recommends approval of the zone change from (SPD) Special Dwelling District to a (PD) Planned Development District for Housing Development Including Special Housing Types, subject to conditions A through F. Mr. Sims ask if they have ever done something like this before? To which Ms. Elizabeth responds with wanting the applicant to come up and give the information. I will now at this time allow the two representatives come up and present their plans, and as well they are establishing one in Midland which already established in Lubbock. They could comment on the sizes, and details of the parks. Mr. Ronnie Wallace & Chris Berry, Betenbough Representatives, approached the podium. To which Mr. Peacock, Commissioner, approved of building parks and improvements, to the area. Mr. Wallace states “as we expand our homes, to North Park, Sqft size is very similar to what we will be presenting, as we have already done this in Gardendale before. Ms. Connie Coots, Commissioner, replies to smaller lots sizes? Mr. Wallace replies yes, 50x85 to which we are introducing 40ft by 85ft. Fits an 1100sq ft home, with a bit narrower, to which will be adjacent to the big layout over 100th. To address your questions on the parks, we have pocket parks, potentially we could get 50ft x 115ft lot place a park on that, normally would be accommodated by the layout with some trees, play structure, and seating for the parents. Going to install three of those, then we will have two half acre parks on the north and south of our, 52acres in general and a connector trail between north and south side. Get a history back from our parks, trying to figure a way to get this donated to the city, to get a quality of life for the city, and work with the city. The homeowners in the area are the only one paying for the city, which will help other city owners. Which will help because we are not over taxing or overburdening the rest of Odessa with maintenance on this park, what we like about the PID. Elizabeth and some of the staff has done an amazing job getting the ordinance all created, set up for these parks, helping by crossing T’s and dotting I’s. Now which Mr. Peacock ask of the remainder of the funds and how will it work for these parks. Mr. Wallace replies to him as to let him know the appraisal district will tax the homeowners, from there we will work on more details to get those funds from those owners. In Lubbock if your home is worth 300 thousand dollars, your 15 cents per hundred- dollar evaluation, you would end up paying three hundred dollars a year. Then that money would present itself into a specific fund, that the city maintains, and the city may not use those funds otherwise to maintain these parks. Ms. Coots ask what the thought process is for price range for these homes. Mr. Wallace answers to one hundred seventy-five to two hundred thousand dollars, to which would depend on material and cost increase on buildings, and how quick we can get them on the ground. “Who can use those parks” Mr. Peacock ask, as you have others paying for it? Mr. Wallace answers to which can be used by all of Odessa residence. Mr. Berry mention a detail from Development Directors request, Elizabeth Shaughnessy, People paying into the PID would only be homeowners in this community, Advantages of setting up this PID. Connie Coots, Commissioner, replies with we need to establish more PID’s. Mr. Steve Tercero, Commissioner, ask what the hill they have out there is going to be? Mr. Wallace replies with the continuing of building since coming to a haul since needing to work on items request of Engineering Department requirements. Will eventually be filled for house pads, and as we cut out the rest of the streets, will slowly dissipate. Mr. Tercero, make a relief comment, as was worried what else they planning to do. Mr. Wayne Russell asks since we are just doing a PID, people were paying for all parks. Just wonder how the residence felt about paying for a public park. Mr. Wallace answers with the existing development and working with residence who have paid for previous parks in the past, example was the Lubbock development. Has been over ten years with the first one in Wolford, was set up a little different on assessment, and trying to get one in Amarillo as well. Most of the PID’s and how they know them is the developers or community to get bonds for infostructure improvements, as we taken this as a maintenance. A Different way of doing them, to which has always worked well for us. Allow us to put a quality of life for residence, like walking spaces and bike trails. The way we communicate with the homeowners, set it on how its received, there is a small check box on the paperwork’s to which they check, and we explain it to them they sometime still won’t understand it. What’s the timing of the installation of these parks? And are the houses going to be done in phases? Will they get done before the housing? Asked by Mr. Peacock. To which Mr. Berry replies on the criteria of assessments of arranging these houses. Before building these parks, you must have a road that leads to that, as we would not want our public to cross a construction road to get to the park. We add the asphalt and complete or try to before working on the park as when the first house closes, we will complete the park surrounding it. Which will allow the homeowners to utilize the parks as they move in. First Park we would establish is a pocket park, then the south park which is half an acre, then add the connecting trail, to which we will complete other pocket park and then finally north. East to the playa we will complete the other pocket park and will table several years before the money is supplied enough to maintain the parks. How about watering for the grass and trees? Mr. Peacock ask Mr. Berry to which he replies. Will utilize the water from the city, as tied into the city water, which will fall under parameters with water restrictions. Bigger parks we are going to try to use irrigation wells so its not a strain on the city. As the bigger parks, water irrigation will be set up, which could potentially be a big problem for the city with city water. Mr. Tercero, Commissioner, States about four or three years ago city council approved of homeowners to be taxed and I have not seen any of these parks yet. Maybe Maria may remember it better, which the homeowners would be taxed for these upkeep parks. To which maria remembers it was talks of the parks, but not exactly sure which area it was. Mr. Wallace mention the work with Michael Moreno, staff had come and visited the parks in Lubbock, to which they got the ordinance created. Which some parts were missing and needed to get implemented in to complete the layout. Connie Coots, Commissioner, agreed on needing more parks in this area. Mr. Wayne Russell, Vice Chairman, opens a public hearing for questions or concerns, hearing none, Vice Chairman closed public portion and turned to staff for discussion or motion, Commissioner Connie Coots moves to approve, Commissioner Jimmy Peacock seconded the motion, with the vote being a unanimous "aye".
