Okay. We the previous minutes are not available. So that brings us to a regular agenda. We have uh anybody Mr. Griffin, is that you?
>> I couldn't read these numbers. >> He's asking for a part parcel split. The parcel I believe is 173 by 173. >> Yes, sir. >> That's what we're starting with the 29,929 square feet.
68 acres. So he's good. It's a low density residential. You want to tell us went by there today. You were somebody's in process of clearing the lot. >> That's me. The long >> the long ranger. >> Yeah. Well, the lots are going to if I
split them, they're going to face fourth fourth street. >> Okay. >> And um just going to be two lots and probably eventually have a couple houses. Put a house on each lot. >> Yeah. It's a single residential. So, >> yeah. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Any questions?
for this one. >> Any questions? >> Anybody in the audience any questions? >> Okay, I hear a motion. >> Motion that we send this to the commission recommend for approval.
>> I'll second that motion. >> Mr. Mayor, >> yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. And thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. We got to go to the next commission meeting and >> we're just an advisory group. >> Oh, that's fine.
>> Go to the commission meeting and they have our blessing. >> Okay. Appreciate it. Y'all have a good night. >> Thanks. >> That was fast, Tony. >> This is the record fastest meeting. >> Well, maybey's on the agenda.
Good evening. >> Good evening. >> So, I I told y'all every meeting I'll try to bring something to y'all to work on or a challenge that we're we're we're encountering that we want y'all's guidance for. Um, one of the topics is is there's nowhere in the LDR that sets
a minimum primary structure size. >> What? Well, we say that you can't have a four you can't have a tiny home which is 450 square feet. >> No, it's 1,200. It's not. >> We can't find anything for residential or commercial >> because right now we we have a house
that's that that's already been approved for 950 ft, which is going to be a nice home. Yeah. >> But the main one of the main focuses I want us to look is towards commercial because we're having a lot of people on the commercial lots right now looking to do different things with these lots, but they got to have a primary structure.
So, if we don't have a size that structure could be, we might start ending up with little bitty offices and yeah, storage lots. >> So, I just that's a challenge for y'all to look at. Like I said, um the house kind of thing right now, we're not having anybody I don't want somebody to
come in. We we've asked the engineers and we've looked through the book and like I said, 450 square foot tiny home is the only thing we can find. For guidelines, we might look at um FHA, VA, conventional, Fanny, Freddy because they have size, square foot, minimum
mandates to get approval for financing. >> Yeah. And like I said, and I'm we we just got to get some kind of recommendation that we can get in this book that we can go byation >> and I think that's great and to look at those because that down the road will help Parker and and you know, someone's selling their house and someone's
buying. But what are your recommendations like for even for commercial Well, I mean, like I said, we look at the house that we just approved. It's 950 square feet. It's going to be great. I mean, it's basically a uh a single
person's home. It's it's a family member's home being built on a lot, you know, so it's it's big enough for them, but I just don't want somebody to come in at 451 or 500 and, you know, it's just going to be a tiny home. And plus trying to meet >> It also might even say in the
description, how we put that we might need to meet the aesthetics of the road. you know, if there's some smaller dwell dwellings on there, we might put a caveat on that or whatever. But if there's these larger huge, you know, 1500 plus square foot homes, we just don't want a 750 come right in the
middle of them. >> And because I can definitely see that, you know, down mine, all the houses, well, there's a couple different, but most of them are probably 2,000 square feet, >> and then you come in and pull a 850T house in there, and that lowers the value, and then you have a lot of mad
people. >> Yeah. Then when that sells and they look at comps, they look at what price you got per square foot there and it brings your comps down. >> We've also had a couple of people come in with um like pie shaped lots that are very small, >> but if we don't really have a minimum
lots, you know, house size >> where this that would be commercial and that's where the that's where the big thing comes in >> ones too. >> Yeah. But they could come in and just put a little structure there and that's my primary. >> But there's lots of homes. >> But they are but the way the way it was shaped.
>> Yeah. Is the setbacks are going to be very difficult to me. You know, >> had one like that one eye shape. >> Yeah. We we've got we've had a handful that are really really cut really weird. >> And you know, >> if we don't have a what they got to fit in there, they're going to fit something
in there, >> right? So >> that kind of shocks me, Tanya. Where did I fit? Where did I remember 1,200 square feet from? >> FHA is something like 740. surprisingly small, >> right? >> Um that that might be for strictly for
condos. It sounds like a uh pow with um commercial banker >> who might have some input on what they can approve from a purchase release perspective in terms of minimum square footage. I don't know. >> I said I'm just I'm just tasking y'all with trying to >> trying to trying to workshop something
and brainstorm something together. >> So I think maybe like could it be like you were mentioning maybe the average of the area. So could we do like it has to be a minimum of a th00and square feet or the average, you know, you don't want a thousand where you have 4,000 foot
mansions on the wall. >> Yeah. Like I said, that this is just something for y'all to >> brainstorm on and >> someone's little camp house putting there in the coming months. >> Yeah. And and that's what these topics will probably be, but it's just for y'all to write them down now and go ahead and start doing some work on it
and then we could come back and bullet workshop on the storage shed size this thing. And then the other topic I want to give y'all too is is there's no guidelines in there also about food trucks. >> Okay? And I know and I'm not trying to
set rules for food trucks. I'm just I also was asked by the engineers to present this to y'all because there's no guidelines for them to evaluate a food truck lot. >> And we have had four of those requests
come in this last fiscal year. And what that means is we had one over behind um Planet Fitness where he bought a partial and he just wanted to set food trucks out there. >> And then we had another one that was going to be on the corner of Ivy and Tenno Parkway and another one that was going to be down towards Oakshore. And
we have one that's fits in to come to y'all probably on Fleming. But what I'm looking for is and what they're kind of looking for is is like are we going to hold the food trucks to the minimum lot setback requirement that we hold everything else? And depending on where it's at, you know, we might want to talk
to the fire department and find out what the minimum separation of these trucks needs to be. Um, also, you know, how many you want on the partial, possibly the parking per food truck, you know, just set some guidelines so that when they do these reviews, they can have
something to go to come back. Here's our recommendations. >> We don't we I haven't done the homework enough to know what we can enforce and can't force. I know we can't regulate them. It's all done by the state. But if they people put it on the property, we only are going to allow it. You know, we
have heard and doing some investigation right now that we have some food trucks popping up on Fridays and Saturdays at their own personal homes. Um, so, so we're looking we're looking into watching that, setting the menu out by the road and letting people, you know, so we might need to get we just
need some structure in the food truck thing because I don't know if like noise ordinances that are already play into that because and one food truck in a parking lot is way different than if you're putting three food trucks and you got to think sanitation, trash,
bathrooms, and I don't know how that even plays, but would that be something that we would have to consider with this or does that something else. I'm just thinking like, >> well, like I said, this is this is where the homework's going to be on us what we can and can't. I'm just I'm just referring with the engineers to some kind of guidelines that if you want this
business in Parker, this is what we would really like. >> I don't know as far as the teeth of how what we can enforce yet without digging into it. But, I mean, I would assume someone that's going to put in six or seven food trucks would have bathroom and a facility and stuff like that, but
you know, parking is going to be an issue. Traffic's going to be an issue. um how they're facing, how close they are to, >> you know, the areas. I mean, I just had to get two RVs moved today that were actually in the setbacks. >> And then where those like how about like
food trucks being parked in in people's yards? Like I mean like as in like if it's their personal food truck is that already covered or like an RV or do we need to look at that? >> You might want to address that as well. We have those stored right now. We consider just as an RV. As long as it's
closed up and it's parked beside or behind, I we don't have a problem with it that I see. The only time I see a problem with it is if it's set up in your front yard. >> Yeah. And that's this I mean that it's the same rule for food trucks, though. Or do we need to set that rule? >> You need to set that rule. >> Okay. So, that's something we need to
look at, too. I would rather see an RV than I would a food truck in somebody to drive away, you know? Follow the same rules at least. >> Yeah. Like I said, we're just looking for some direction and structure to get this That's helping us what we need to do. >> Do we know if there's any president in
Bay County as outside of Parker? Anybody any of our neighbors have any comments or anything in their >> Well, I mean, like I said, Papa Joe's does really well over there. You know, they've got a kind of thing come in, the trucks come in, the trucks kind of leave. It's just to what I'm hearing
here in Parker, it's getting more f focused on they want these trucks to go and and like stay longterm for like, you know, four weeks to six weeks. They don't want them coming in and out every night. They want them to stay there and be set up seven days a week, you know. So, that's why I'm just looking for some
guidance on, >> you know, because if this establishment stays, then what what is the rule? >> I think there's I mean, they can actually raise a community if done well, >> you know, and even like at our our complex down there, that would be cool to have trucks out there.
>> Absolutely. >> But but definitely within regular, you know, >> Yeah. Well, I said I just want to have, you know, like bring the fire chief in on this discussion to say, you know, hey, they need to be at least 10 feet apart. You know, we don't need to be, you know, crowded in. How far away do we need to try to just recommendations of
how far the seating needs to be away minimum, you know, so that we don't have any incidences or we we don't make the news. >> Exactly. >> Thank you. >> All right. No problem. >> Y Thank you, John. >> Anybody have anything for the good of
the association? Nothing. >> Um, I do have a question. This came from a Parker constituent. He just wanted to know um the timeline for the sidewalks
uh down by Parker Elementary. >> They're working on them now. >> Okay. >> I knew they weren't trying to get started until after Christmas, but I think they're currently um right there 715 720th town homes. >> They've made it past the BMW.
>> So, They're working that way. Get those >> restored. >> Roughly. You just kind of wanted to know. >> With the way they're going right now, I would say hopefully by the end of the month they should be done. >> Awesome. We're quick at Parker. We really are. We do. >> Yeah, they were doing it today. There's a lot of construction and I was
wondering if they were putting in a pipe or something, but a sidewalk. Makes sense. >> Anything else? Just just so yall know in case anyone brings up we're shutting down the northbound side of Parkway tonight. If you come if you're like leaving
rodeos and coming back you'll have to go down I we have a gravity sewer line that's failing under the do highway. So, we're shutting it down at 6:00 tonight. It's supposed to be open back at >> 6 o' Americans out there with us and me and
two other >> Wow. >> Any other business meeting? >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you. Go.
