IV. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. Saldarla presented the 2011-2012 Platting and Zoning Application Schedule showing
the Planning Commission meeting dates for the remainder of 2011 and for 2012. Mr. Saldara
requested commissioners to review their personal schedules and compare them with the boxed
meeting dates so the commission could discuss and determine whether those dates should be
canceled. Mr. Saldana continued he was most concerned about the November 23rd meeting since it
fell on the eve of the Thanksgiving Holiday and consideration should also be given to the
December 21, 2011 meeting date since its leading up to the Christmas Holiday on Sunday. This
item will be scheduled as an action item for the next meeting.
Mr. Saldana also presented a suggestion that maybe the commission should take
attendance at each meeting by a roll call like the City Council and Zoning Board of Adjustment.
No action was taken.
Commissioner Tamez added if there was the possibility that the proposed project on the
Island would be brought before the Planning Commission and was there a timeline in which it had
to be reviewed and Mr. Saldana answered he did not think the project would be reviewed by the
commission. Mr. Saldana continued the project contract was being handled by the Engineering
Department and the dredging portion of the project would be done by the Army Corps of
Engineers. Mr.Saldana went on to say that in the future, several vacating plats associated with the
project would be brought before the commission for approval. Ms. Deborah Brown, Staff
Attorney, added that commissioners could not discuss this project since it was not a scheduled
agenda item and it is currently involved in legal litigation.
Commissioner Tamez asked who was responsible for the design of the driveway for truck
entries for the Wal-Mart Store in Flour Bluff and Mr. Saldana answered that Wal-Mart made the
final decision.
V. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, a motion to adjourn was made by Commissioner Taylor
and seconded by Commissioner Huerta and the meeting adjourned at 5:35 p.m. Motion passed
with Commissioners Adame and Guerra being absent.
