a.Code Compliance Officer Diana T.Garza presented the statement of facts.
The Board ordered that the structure be demolished by the owner within 30
days.
b.Appellant's Oral Presentation of Written Notice of Appeal. Mr.Samer
Hamed,the appellant,stated that: he purchased this property when it had
severe fire damage; he had financial issues prior to COVID-19 and then more
financial hardship during COVID-19; he is requesting more time to finish out the
property because he has invested over$40,000 already;and his business is
Coast to Coast Construction.
Council Members,Mr.Hamed,Code Compliance Officer Garza and Assistant
City Attorney Yvette Aguilar discussed the following topics: a Council Member
is in favor of letting Mr.Hamed complete this project;Mr.Hamed will need
about six weeks to dry-in this property;the property was purchased in April of
2018;the work began on this property without a permit in November of 2019;
and Mr.Hamed said he can complete this project in four months.
c.Public Hearing. Assistant City Attorney for Code Enforcement Yvette Aguilar
presented the following information: the Board is authorized to give 60 days if
the work could not be completed in 30 days; Mr. Hamed failed to provide the
documentation required in order to get more time to repair the building; Mr.
Hamed failed to comply with the deadlines that the Board gave him prior to
the pandemic; relevant laws;application of facts/information to relevant laws:
error;manifest injustice;and final action.
d.City Staff Response. Staff asks that the Council uphold the Board's order to
demolish this project;a criminal case was filed in Municipal Court for litter and
solid waste on this property in August of 2019;and the history shows that Mr.
Hamed has a disregard for the law.
e.Council Action. Council Members,Assistant City Attorney Aguilar and
Assitant Police Chief David Blackmon discussed the following topics: the
timeline of permits that were issued and the work that was started;the reason
given for the work not completed was due to the pandemic;the downside to
giving Mr.Hamed additional time to complete this project is the proximity of
the property to Ray High School which has caused issues with vagrants and
other criminal activity,along with encouraging people not to comply with
laws;the building is unsecured and contains drug paraphernalia;and Mr.
Hamed has not alleged or shown any error or undue hardship.
There were no comments from the public.
Council Member Barrera made a motion to approve the resolution to deny the
appeal,seconded by Council Member Molina. This Resolution was passed and
approved with the following vote:

On 2/18/2021,at approximately 11:30 PM I called the sewer reporting line to tell them that the lift station on
Verdemar had failed and was dumping raw sewage in front of my house. I called back about an hour later,and they informed me
that someone had looked at it and it was being taken care of. The next morning I went out and saw raw sewage was still spewing
raw sewage from the cleanout and by this time hundreds of gallons of raw sewage had spilled out and was being sent into the
storm drains into Packery Channel. I spent 1 1/2 hours on hold once again to report this and waited out on the street for someone
from the city to finally show up. He immediately tried to blame it on my neighbor's sewer, until I finally convinced him that it was a
failed city lift station. It took approximately two more hours for them to send out a back-up generator and start up the failed lift
station.
I have two questions: This lift station is over 25 years old.Why isn't there an alarm on it to inform someone in the city that the
lift station has failed, rather than have it back up and dump hundreds of gallons of raw sewage into the neighborhood?Secondly,
if it was reported that it was a raw sewage spill, why isn't there a procedure in place to clean up this sewage off the property after
the leak was documented?As of this submittal,the raw sewage is still in place on the street and driveway. I would appreciate an
immediate response,so that someone in our neighborhood doesn't fall ill because of this street exposure to raw sewage.
I would have reported this to the city manager, but the last time I had sent him an email for a response about street repairs and
code enforcement,almost 3 weeks ago, I have yet to receive a response from anyone in the city.Allen Lizakowski 361-949-9258

Agenda Number 21-0221
Describe Feedback: After all our work to save Blucher Park you just
CANNOT allow apartments to be built in the
park. All of these lots along Tancahua Street should
have long ago been incorporated into the park
making essentially the total block the park. If this is
allowed to happen it will be the end of our beautiful
park and birding Mecca for Corpus Christi. Please
vote NO to 21-0221!

Mayor Guajardo and City Council Members,
Please vote against Item 13 on the February 16, 2021 agenda.
The City of Corpus Christi is well aware of the value and importance of Blucher Park as a refugia to migrating
birds and its reputation as a national and international birding hot spot. Many, many volunteer hours have
been spent protecting and maintaining the park. While low-income housing is also vitally important,the
location of a 72-unit multi-story housing development abutting the park may have detrimental impacts to the
park itself including increased traffic,trash that will attract feral cats, noise, and lights. If not for the proximity
to the park,this would be a good location for housing. However,the city has many vacant areas that would
serve a similar purpose. There is NO other acreage within the city proper that provides the unique topography,
a permanent creek, and a diversity of vegetation that attracts such a large number of species of migrating
birds. Additionally, the City is attempting to obtain the Bird City Texas designation from Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department that would increase tourism and benefit the city economically. Providing buffers around
high-quality bird habitat is a listed criterion for that sought-after designation.
Thank you,
Clare Lee
Vice President, Coastal Bend Audubon Society

Topic Request that CC City Council NOT support proposed
9% Housing Tax Credit for Palms at Blucher Park
development
Agenda Number #19 21-0221
Describe Feedback: As a 40-year resident of Corpus Christi, and the
current president of the Coastal Bend Audubon
Society(CBAS), I would like to request that the City
Council NOT approve the resolution to support the
housing tax credit for the Palms at Blucher Park
proposed development. Although there is certainly
a widely recognized and great need for affordable
housing in our community,the proposed location of
this development is very problematic. We believe
there must be much better sites for a project like
this. Concentrated housing will put new human
residents at risk due to fronting on a major road
(Tancahua Street). Blucher Park's value as bird
habitat and as a major nature tourism attraction
(locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally)
would suffer huge negative impacts. The park's
habitat value could not be protected from so many
people/pets, and that does not even factor in the
attraction of feral cats and habituated wildlife (rats,
raccoons, etc)that wreak havoc on birds.

As a comment on the rezoning of the land next to
our residency. . MY wife and I feel that the rezoning
of this property will not be detrimental to us or to
the neighborhood . If the Phoenix del
mar developement is done in a upscale manner the
area will look nice and make our property values go
up not down. We have friends that have stayed in
the two other upscale ry parks on 361 and both
have said the people who stay and qualtiy of the
parks are not a problem for community. We
support the zoning change and the developement.

Topic In favor of development
Agenda Number 21
Describe Feedback: To whom it may concern,
I am in favor of the special permit allowing the
Phoenix Del Mar Rezoning.
I believe this would allow for future development in
the surrounding area and some much needed
growth.
More specifically the plans set out by the Phoenix
Del Mar group will inject some much needed
enthusiasm in the area and spark further interest by
1
other developers leading to other great projects.
As a homeowner I am confident this will increase my
property value and the value of the other
surrounding homes and condos. Growth and
development is always a good thing.We cannot sit
idle and must push and allow further developments.
Thank you,

Agenda Number #21
Describe Feedback: To Whom It May Concern
As the owners of 165 La Concha Port Aransas Tx.We
are in favor of the rezoning purposed by Phoenix del
Mar Development. My wife, and I feel that this
would be in the best interest of the community,as it
would bring property values up.
The development would also increase more retail
opportunities,thus bringing in more tourism which
the surrounding communities rely on as well.

TOPIC: Low Barrier Shelter
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER (if applicable): n/a
If no agenda item is specified,then this will be considered a general public comment and not a public hearing.
While the policy of not turning anyone away during the freeze last week was a good one for local
shelters, there were still many problems that could have been avoided if we had just had a low
barrier shelter to begin with.
Despite what some individuals have said, a low barrier shelter is NOT a "sanctioned tent city" but an
active alternative to having to camp on the street. There's many obstacles to using our current
shelters that would not be present in a low barrier shelter, such as drug tests, pet policies, the
splitting up of families, cleanliness of the facility and just physical inaccessibility.
A low barrier shelter would provide bathrooms, showers, and laundry access, which will then in turn
allow houseless folk to seek employment or substance help. You don't know how much something
as simple as a shower and a warm place to sleep can help someone until you've gone without it, as
I'm sure many of our housed neighbors got a taste of this past week.

Topic opposition to industrial re-zoning of historic African
American neighborhood
Agenda Number 21-0062
Describe Feedback: Dear City Council:
I am writing in opposition to the proposed
ordinance that would re-zone part of the
Washington Coles neighborhood from residential to
industrial (File#21-0062). Corpus Christi should be
re-investing in Washington Coles to preserve the
historic character of the neighborhood and help the
people who live there in order to address historic
racial inequities and invest in the downtown area
(to which this neighborhood will eventually be
connected). If such re-zoning occurred, it would also
be a case of illegal spot zoning that wouldn't meet
the Texas Supreme Court standards, outlined in City
of Pharr v.Tippitt(1981),that includes the following
criteria: "The amendatory ordinance must bear a
substantial relationship to the public health,safety,
morals or general welfare or protect and preserve
historical and cultural places and areas." In this
case,an industrial area in the middle of a historic
neighborhood where people still live,would do
precisely the opposite.

Describe Feedback: Peter Zanoni and Warren Phips-Thank you for your
leadership urging the shelters to open and ensuring
that no person was turned away.Thank you to all
that showed up and saved lives,especially Emily
Northrup,Jennifer Buxton, Roseanne Garcia,
Catholic Charities,The Salvation Army, Coastal Bend

Church,Gulf Coast Humane Society,volunteers and
city staff. Over 260 emergency beds were used by
our unhoused neighbors.Outreach, hypothermia
risks,food,clothing, blankets and transportation
was provided by volunteers. Medical and mental
health services were accessed at the shelter, pets
were sheltered and reunified with owners after the
storm. . I urge council to direct funds towards
developing a low barrier shelter so that outreach
and follow up can occur,which will reduce the
number of people experiencing homelessness in our
city.
