• • • Page 3 of S Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes of September 29, 1994 Property designated for use in the F-101 drainage project shall remain unfenced and unobstructed. Applicants shall, prior to erection of fencing, submit to the Director of Planning, a letter from Houston Lighting and Power Company stating that arrangements for access to the property are adequate and satisfactory. As an alternative, the "H" Street right-of--way can remain unfenced and unobstructed. Animal concentration shall not exceed one (1) animal per each 1.75 acres of pasture area. This concentration limit shall apply to each separately fenced pasture. This permit shall be valid for a period of one (1) year from date of Council approval. At the end of this period, the applicant shall apply for a new Special Conditional Use Permit. • At such time as the applicant's lease with Southern Pacific is • allowed to lapse, or is terminated by either party, this Special Conditional Use Permit will become void and all livestock must be removed from this tract. Chairman Waters announced a public hearing had been convened on September 15, 1994, regarding this item. At that time, the Commission heard comments from numerous citizens. The Commission voted to defer this item until the next regular meeting. Chairman Waters invited everyone to speak at this meeting even if they addressed the Commission at the previous meeting. The following includes everyone signed up to speak during this public hearing. 1. PROPONENTS Ms. Hayes, of 704 N. 13th, would rather see this property used for livestock than some sort of industry. Harold Mathews (the applicant), of 4005 Polk in Deer Park, agrees with staff's recommendation with the exception of keeping the rights- of-way unfenced. This would create seven pastures and would not be feasible for him.
