[VI. NEW BUSINESS - PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS (INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION)]
BUSINESS.SO BEFORE WE GET INTO THE PLAT, I DO WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT I ACTUALLY HAD TO PULL A ZONE CHANGE REQUEST.
UM, AND WE WILL RECONVENE ON THAT ZONE CHANGE REQUEST ON, UM, THE NEXT MEETING, OKAY? OKAY.
IT'S, UM, ON A ZONE CHANGE WHAT REQUEST.
YOU READY? COMMISSIONER? READY FOR MS. ARIA? YES SIR.
SO THE FIRST CASE WE HAVE IS P 25 DASH ZERO THREE, A MINOR PLAT THAT'S REQUESTED FOR 1.975 ACRES OF LAND PLAYBOY ESTATES.

JAKE HAD A PARCEL NUMBER, 8 6 7 3 9 8 6 7 3, 5, 8, 6, 7, 3, 4, 8, 6, 7, 3 3 AND 2, 6, 6 5, 3 7.
AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS MINOR PLAT IS TO DIVIDE AND COMBINE PARTS OF MULTIPLE LOTS WITH MULTIPLE EXISTING TRACKS.
AND ON SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2020 5, 25 NOTICES WENT OUT AND WAS PUBLISHED 15 DAYS IN THE NEWSPAPER BEFORE TODAY'S MEETING.
AND YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE? NO, SIR.
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ARIES ON THIS? I DO, EVEN THOUGH I'VE LOOKED AT THIS SCHEMATIC, UM, I'M STILL KIND OF CONFUSED.
WHY ARE WE DOING A PLAT ADDING PLATS, TAKING PLAQUES AWAY? AND THIS IS NOT A, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE FIRST PLAT I'VE EVER DONE IN HOW MANY YEARS LIKE THIS? WELL, THERE'S THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND HE'S TAKING HIS LARGE PARCEL OF LAND AND HE'S DIVIDING IT UP WITH, UM, ALREADY EXISTING TRACKS OF LAND.
SO IT'S ALMOST AS IF HE'S DIVVYING IT UP BETWEEN LAND OWNERS ALREADY AND PROPERTY OWNERS ALREADY.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BASICALLY WHOEVER'S BUYING THESE DIFFERENT TRACKS OF LAND IS DOING SOMETHING WITH IT.
I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE PURCHASING IT OR, OR HE'S GIVING IT AWAY, BUT HE IS DIVIDING IT INTO A WAY THAT I KNOW FOR SURE JUST BY LOOKING AT THE PLAT THAT HE'S ATTACHING IT TO THE OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS, THEREBY MM-HMM
HE, SO HE'S DIVIDING HIS HUGE TRACT LAND.
I CAN MAYBE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THAT FOR, UH, FOR, UH, ARIES.
WELL I KNOW THE, I KNOW THESE, THE FAMILIES INVOLVED THAT MYERS SECTION THAT YOU SEE, IF YOU CAN SEE ON YOUR, UH, MAP THOUGH.
THIS IS, THIS RIGHT HERE IS DIAMOND AVENUE RIGHT HERE, DOWN AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS 63RD RIGHT? YOUNG MAN THAT OWNS,
[00:05:01]
THIS IS THE MYERS HOME.HIS WIFE HAS PASSED AND HE'S IN NURSING HOME.
THIS SOLD, THIS HOUSE IS SOLD WHAT? AND THEN THIS YOUNG MAN HERE, BAAL IS ASKING FOR THIS LIVES HERE.
WELL, MYERS SOLD HIM ALL THIS BEFORE WE SOLD HIM UP TO HERE BEFORE HE PASSED.
NOW THERE'S A HOME HERE AND A HOME HERE, WHICH COR CORRESPONDS WITH THE TWO TRACKS HE'S DOING THERE.
CEC HILL, THE PERSON THAT OWNS THIS IS GONNA, THIS'LL BE THEIR, IT'S IN THE BACK AND THEN THESE TWO PER PEOPLE HERE, I IMAGINE THEY EITHER BUYING OR HE'S DOPE GIVING IT TO 'EM JUST RIGHT HERE.
AND THEN HE'S KEEPING IT, THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE WHERE HE LIVES AT.
AND WHAT IT IS, IS THIS IS ALL MARSH BACK HERE.
THIS IS ROTARY GULLY PASSES RIGHT BEHIND, RIGHT BEHIND ALL THIS RIGHT HERE AND COMES IN PUMP STATIONS RIGHT THERE.
SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE WAY IT LOOKS IS THAT HE'S JUST DOING EXACTLY THAT.
IT'S NOT A VERY BIG PARCEL OF LAND, BUT, AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT.
IT'S JUST MARSH AND WOODS AND PASTURE, STUFF LIKE THAT.
ALSO THAT WHAT, WHAT YOU SEE INSIDE HERE? YES.
THAT IS WHAT I SEE INSIDE DRAWING.
WHAT YOU SEE INSIDE THIS DRAWING RIGHT HERE.
UM, WE DO, UM, WE WERE ABLE, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY GET THE WRONG FOOTAGE OF THE PROPERTY AND UM, LARRY'S GONNA PRESS PLAY.
AND AGAIN, JUST EVEN FROM THE DRONE FOOTAGE, YOU CAN TELL IT'S BEING DIVVIED UP 100 THERE.
BUILDINGS, OUTBUILDINGS, BARNS, SHOPS, THOSE ARE THE TWO HOUSES.
SHE, THE TWO HOUSES YOU SEE RIGHT THERE.
THOSE ARE THE TWO THAT, THAT, TO THE LEFT OF THAT, THOSE WOODS RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S THE TWO TRACKS THAT HE'S GOT.
AND SO IS THERE LAND THAT HE HAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THOSE THINGS? NO.
NO, IT GOES, IT JUST GOES STRAIGHT BACK RIGHT THERE.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT 63RD, I MEAN DIAMOND AVENUE.
THERE IS ONE REAL HOUSE ON THAT PROPERTY RIGHT NOW.
WELL ACTUALLY IF YOU CALL IT, THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO WHERE MYERS, THE MYERS HOMESTEAD THAT'S ON DIAMOND THAT FACES DIAMOND.
THAT'S ON 63RD STREET RIGHT THERE.
I IF Y'ALL, IF ANY OF Y'ALL REMEMBER OLD DOCTORS, I THINK HE LIVED BACK.
Y'ALL REMEMBER DR. SHIELDS WELL THAT'S WHERE HE, HE LIVED JUST PAST, PAST THE OLD MEYERS PLACE.
THEY'VE TAKEN GOOD, THEY'VE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF IT.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. ARIES? OKAY.
