Mr.Sullivan stated he is the neighbor to the subject property. He has filed several complaints with Code Enforcement and Development Services regarding illegal construction activity that has taken place on the property which is in a flood zone. He is aware that the previous owner has already been given a citation/fined for such activity and a case has been forwarded to Municipal Court. He feels the City has not done their due dilegence to prevent the persistant flooding issue that has been aggravated by the previous owner's actions. Chairman Ramirez asked for Staffs response to Mr.Sullivan's concerns. Julio Dimas, Interim Director of Development Services,informed the Commission that the current issues have surfaced because the previous property owner did not go through the platting process beforehand. There was a stop work order issued regarding a boat dock that was being built on the subject property with out the issuance of a building permit.

He stated that a grading plan was submitted along with the plat and it will be reviewed at the building permit phase.

B. Master Plan 11. 17-0276 Amendment to the Urban Transportation Plan reap of Mobility CC, a transportation element of the Comprehensive Pan, by realigning a proposed C1 Minor Residential Collector street system proposed south of Saratoga Boulevard from intersecting at Norchester Drive to intersecting at Zenith Drive and connecting with Evans Road to the south and Acushnet Drive to the east, Annika Yankee, Development Services,read item"11"into record as shown above. She explained to the Commission took action on this item which was originally presented at a special Planning Commission meeting back on January 18,2017.It is being presented again because of a change to the request by realigning two planned streets to accommodate a proposed development in the area southwest of the Saratoga Boulevard/Weber Road intersection. The City's Urban Transportation Plan (UTP) Map proposes a north-south C1 Collector connecting Evans Road to Saratoga Boulevard and connecting to Acushnet Drive,an east/west C1 Collector. The preliminary plat shows the proposed extensions of existing streets(Zenith Drive,Acushnet Drive,and Evans Road),but it does not show the extension of the planned C1 Collector, Norchester Drive,as designated on the UTP map. The developer's proposal not to build the C1 Collector(aligned with Norchester Drive)is based on challenges in obtaining right-of-way from the adjacent property owner,who is the federal government(Department of the Navy). The developer requests the deletion of the current UTP-designated C1 Collector that borders private property and federal property and aligns with Norchester Drive on the opposite side of Saratoga Blvd. Instead,the developer proposes to extend Zenith Drive,of which approximately 380 feet is already constructed to the C1 Collector street design standards,south to Evans Road and east to the proposed Acushnet Drive. The Corpus Christi Page 3 Printed on 3/9/2017 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 22,2017 extension of Zenith Drive would become the western terminus of Acushnet Drive.The proposed amendment maintains the intent of the UTP map by providing connectivity south of Saratoga Boulevard and east to Acushnet Drive.This alignment also allows for a future three-legged"T"signalized intersection at the intersection with Saratoga Boulevard, if a traffic signal warrant analysis indicates requirements were met. Staff and the Transportation Advisory Commission recommend approval of the UTP map amendment as presented. After Staff's presentation,Chairman Ramirez opened the public hearing.With no one coming forward,the public hearing was closed. A motion to approve item"11"was made by Commissioner Baugh and seconded by Vice Chairman Villarreal .The motion passed. IV.
