SO AS STAFF THANKFULLY REMINDED ME, ITEM NUMBER SEVEN ON OUR AGENDA DOES REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING. SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THAT PUBLIC HEARING TO ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK.

Consider: Resolution No. 20-055, (ZA20-0062), Specific Use Permit for a Residential Solar Energy System on property described as Lot 38, Block 5, Timarron Addition Phase 2, Section A, Estates at Bent Creek, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1500 Bent Creek Drive, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "R-PUD" Residential Planned Unit Development District. SPIN Neighborhood #9. PUBLIC HEARING]
CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR RESIDENTIAL SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM.AGAIN, WE WENT THROUGH THIS APPLICATION IN DETAIL DURING OUR WORK SESSION WE JUST HAD.
MAYBE DENNIS, IF YOU COULD MAYBE JUST GUIDE US THROUGH A FEW OF THE PAGES HERE.
WE'VE GOT THE HOME ORIENTATION.
VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES OF THE HOME AS IT'S SITUATED ON THE PROPERTY AND ORIENTATION TO THE STREETS AND GOLF COURSE TO THE NORTHEAST OF IT.
A PLOT PLAN SHOWING PLACEMENT OF THE PANELS ON THE RESIDENCE.
AND AERIAL, WITH THE APPROXIMATED OVERLAY OF THE PANELS, WOULD BE SITUATED.
THEN SOME VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES AROUND THE HOME.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS? SO JUST SO I'M CLEAR, BLOCKED OR NOT VISIBLE FROM THE STREET, LARGELY BLOCKED FROM THE GOLF COURSE BECAUSE OF THE TREES AND APPROVED BY THE [INAUDIBLE] HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION? YES, I BELIEVE THEY HAVE RECEIVED CONFIRMATION FROM THE HOA.
YES. AND I THINK NONE ON THE SIDE OF THE HOME EITHER, WHICH IS ADJACENT TO NEIGHBORS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS ON THIS ONE? OK, WELL, ITEM NUMBER EIGHT ON OUR AGENDA ALSO REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THAT PUBLIC HEARING NOW TO ANYBODY WHO'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND COMMENT ON THIS ONE.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASSUME EVERYBODY'S HERE FOR EITHER ITEM NUMBER NINE, OUR EXCITING SIGNBOARD CASE.
SO WE CLOSE A CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING.
BUT I'LL GO AND RECOGNIZE YOU.
MR. CHAIRMAN. WE DIDN'T HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT.
I HAD A QUESTION THAT MAYBE IT CAN BE DIRECTED EITHER AT THE APPLICANT OR THE CITY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STRIKES ME ABOUT THIS IS NOT AND I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT.
EVERYTHING WE'VE HEARD ABOUT SOLAR PANELS IS YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A SOUTHERN EXPOSURE OR SOUTHEAST SOUTHWEST TYPE OF EXPOSURE.
THESE ARE ALL GOING NORTHEAST.
I'M JUST CURIOUS WHETHER THAT'S A CHANGE IN THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE PANELS THAT ALLOWS THE NORTHEAST EXPOSURE TO DERIVE THE BENEFIT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
EXACTLY WHAT MIGHT BE BEHIND THAT? YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
MR. APPLICANT, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
SORRY, RIGHT UP HERE. RIGHT UPFRONT.
SORRY. DO YOU MIND STATING YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? WE NEED TO GET THAT ON THE RECORD AND THEN GO AHEAD AND YOU CAN ANSWER COMMISSIONER ROTHMEIER.
THANK YOU. THERE ARE IDEAL POSITIONS, BUT YOU KNOW, TO GET MAXIMUM OUTPUT FROM THE SOLAR PANELS REQUIRES A SOUTHWEST EXPOSURE IS THE BEST.
BUT THE PANELS, THE LEVELS WE'RE PUTTING IN, WHICH IS TESLA SOLAR PANEL LEVEL, TOO, IS MUCH MORE EFFICIENT THAN PREVIOUS ONES.
SO THEY KEEP GETTING BETTER, SO.
THANK YOU. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.
DIDN'T MEAN TO SHORT CIRCUIT THAT OPPORTUNITY.
IF ANYBODY HAS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.
SO ANY OTHER DELIBERATIONS OR ARE WE PREPARED TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THIS ITEM? I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO READ THE OPPOSITION IN UNLESS I GET A COMMENT CARD AND SINCE I ALSO DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY SPEAK IN PUBLIC HEARING, I'M ASSUMING EVERYBODY'S HERE FROM NINE. BUT THERE WAS AND I GUESS MAYBE DENNIS JUST MAYBE PUT IT ON THE RECORD, IF YOU CAN FLIP BACK, THAT IS, YOU KNOW, A CHART THAT WE'LL SEE IN OUR NEXT CASE AS WELL IN TERMS OF WHERE THE OPPOSITION IS LOCATED, AS FAR AS WHAT CITY STAFF HAS RECEIVED.
AND SO THE GREEN DOT BEING ADJACENT TO THE SUBJECT HOME, I THINK IS A KEY ATTRIBUTE ON THIS ONE TO SEE.
SO WE'LL NOTE THAT FOR THE RECORD.
ANYTHING ELSE ANYONE WANTS TO ADD OR COMMENT ON BEFORE WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION? MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER EIGHT ON OUR AGENDA, ZA TWO ZERO DASH ZERO ZERO SIX TWO, SUBJECT TO STAFF REPORT DATED DECEMBER 31ST, 2020, AND SUBJECT TO THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT STAFF REVIEW NUMBER TWO DATED DECEMBER 31ST TWENTY TWENTY.
WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. OK, GO AHEAD.
[00:10:01]
VOTE PLEASE. AND PASSES SIX ZERO.OK WITH THAT, WE'LL GO AND MOVE TO THE LAST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA, ITEM NUMBER NINE, WHICH IS
[9. Consider: Resolution No. 20-056, (ZA20-0063), Specific Use Permit for a Residential Solar Energy System on property described as Lot 27, Block 7, Myers Meadow Phase Two, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1909 Water Lily Drive, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "R-PUD" Residential Planned Unit Development District. SPIN Neighborhood #6. PUBLIC HEARING]
CONSIDERATION OF ANOTHER SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A HOME IN THE MIRES MEADOW SUBDIVISION.AND I KNOW THIS IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WE WENT THROUGH DURING OUR WORK SESSION, BUT WE MIGHT HAVE SOME PEOPLE HERE IN THE GALLERY WHO MIGHT WANT TO COMMENT ON IT.
I GUESS IF YOU DON'T MIND MAYBE FLIPPING THROUGH IT BRIEFLY, JUST TO REMIND US OF THE HOME LOCATION, 1909 WATERLILY IS A LOCATION ADDRESS.
PROSPECTIVE LOOKING NORTH AND LOCATION OF WHERE THE PANELS WOULD BE PLACED.
PLOT PLAN SHOWING PANEL PLACEMENT.
I'LL POINT OUT THESE HATCHED AREAS ARE JUST THERE TO IDENTIFY THE REQUIRED SPACING PER THE FIRE CODE BETWEEN PANEL AND RIDGE LINE.
THE RED SQUARES ARE THE PANELS.
AND AN AERIAL VIEW WITH THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE PANEL'S.
PERSPECTIVE VIEW AROUND THE HOME.
AND RESPONSES WE HAVE RECEIVED TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THAT CHART AGAIN.
I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ONE? DENNIS, WOULD YOU MIND GOING BACK TO THAT SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION? THE ONE YOU JUST HAD IN PLACE? SO I GUESS WHERE MY QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE IS THOSE THAT ARE MOST DIRECTLY IMPACTED, WHICH WOULD BE THE 217, 1906, 1904.
NO RESPONSE AT ALL, CORRECT? CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OK, IS THE APPLICANT HERE FOR THIS REQUEST? DO YOU MIND COMING FORWARD, PLEASE? AND SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS APPLICANT, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND WE'LL SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.
YES, SIR. MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] BAYONA, THE COORDINATOR FOR MOMENTUM SOLAR.
AND ADDRESS? OUR OFFICE ADDRESS? YEAH, WHICHEVER ONE YOU'D LIKE TO GIVE US.
IT'S 725 NORTH ROYAL LANE SUITE 200 IRVING.
THANK YOU. ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT ON THIS ONE? COMMISSIONER ROTHMEIRER? I GUESS MINE IS MORE OF A CONCERN ABOUT NOT HAVING FEEDBACK FROM THE NEIGHBORS WHO ARE IMPACTED. AND I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CERTAINLY CREATES THAT IS THE TIMING WITH THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND EVERYTHING.
I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED THAT IF THIS WERE JUST ONE HOME THAT WAS SHIELDED BY TREES, I'D BE FINE. I THINK YOU'VE GOT THREE HOMES HERE THAT ARE POTENTIALLY IMPACTED THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS. I SURE WISH WE HAD SOME FEEDBACK FROM THOSE THREE, ESPECIALLY THOSE TO THE SIDE.
THE ONE DIRECTLY BEHIND LOOKS FROM THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH TO BE PRETTY WELL PROTECTED AND SHIELDED BY TREES. BUT IT DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME TO THE SIDE.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS OR HAS THE HOMEOWNER HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS TOWARD HAVING SOLAR PANELS ON THE ROOF OF THIS HOME? NO, SIR, NO. NO CONVERSATION OR FEEDBACK FROM THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS.
BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD REACH OUT ABOUT.
YEAH, I THINK I'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT.
PARTICULARLY, I MEAN, I THINK COMMISSIONER ROTHMEIER GIVES A FEW GOOD REASONS IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, JUST COMING OFF THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
AND IF I THINK YOU WOULDN'T WANT NEIGHBORS TO COME FORWARD KIND OF AT THE LAST MINUTE RIGHT BEFORE CITY COUNCIL AND THEN YOU HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, RESPOND TO THAT.
SO IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO PROACTIVELY REACH OUT TO THE ADJACENT ONES.
I GUESS THAT WOULD BE EAST AND WEST AND THEN TO THE SOUTH, AS COMMISSIONER ROTHMEIER INDICATED, JUST TO SOLICIT SOME FEEDBACK.
[00:15:02]
THAT WAY, HOPEFULLY, YOU'LL BE IN A BETTER POSITION FOR A CITY COUNCIL HEARING.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? AND I'M ASSUMING, YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER ROTHMEIRER HIT ON IT.
I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO ASK ABOUT IT.
I MEAN, I THINK WE KIND OF KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT THE THREE THAT ARE ON THE WESTERN EXPOSURE, CLEARLY FOR THE THE WESTERN SUN ON THE DRIVEWAY, I MEAN, I THINK THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT COULD HAVE SOME VISIBILITY FROM THE STREET.
I MEAN, I KNOW WHY THEY'RE THERE, BUT THOSE ARE ONES I GUESS I WAS GOING TO LET YOU ADVOCATE FOR THOSE AND THEN SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THOUGHT OF THAT.
I MEAN, OTHERWISE, IT APPEARS TO ME YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO HAVE THEM ON THE BACK OF THE HOME.
AND THEY'RE YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME HOMES BEHIND THERE.
BUT THERE IS SOME TREE COVER AS WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE.
BUT BUT MAYBE TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THOSE ONES ON THE WESTERN SIDE.
SO OUR DESIGNERS PUT THOSE THERE JUST TO MAXIMIZE THE PRODUCTION.
WHAT WE COULD DO IS WE COULD GO BACK WITH OUR DESIGNERS, TRY TO REWORK A SECOND DESIGN AND SEE WHAT THE DROP IN PRODUCTION WOULD BE IF WE MOVE THOSE TO ANOTHER MOUNTING PLAN AND THEN PROPOSE THE NEW DESIGN TO YOU.
YEAH, I THINK POTENTIALLY HAVING MAYBE THIS PROPOSAL AND MAYBE AN OPTION, WHICH COUNCIL ALWAYS SAYS THEY LOVE OPTIONS THAT DOESN'T HAVE THEM ON THE WESTERN SIDE, BUT MAYBE HAS THEM ON THE REAR OF THE HOUSE.
YOU KNOW, THAT WILL ALLOW THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THEIR CONSIDERATION OF THE APPLICATION. SO I'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT.
WE'LL SEE. WE'LL SEE IF THERE'S SOME PUBLIC FEEDBACK DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING SECTION ABOUT THAT AS WELL. AND WE MIGHT INVITE YOU BACK UP TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
BUT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT FOR NOW? I DO HAVE A QUESTION. ACCORDING TO SOME NEIGHBORHOOD FEEDBACK, IT WAS DENIED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE.
WERE YOU A PART OF THAT? AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT PART THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH? WE SUBMITTED THE ACC REQUEST, BUT CURRENTLY IT'S ON HOLD FOR THE PERMIT.
AND MAYBE KEN OR DENNIS, CAN YOU GUYS REMIND THE COMMISSION JUST IN TERMS OF FEEDBACK FROM AN HOA I GUESS YOU KNOW HOW IT IS THAT-- IS OR ISN'T INCORPORATED IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, ANY OF OUR DELIBERATIONS? I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE WANT TO NOTE.
AND IT'S NICE TO SEE WHAT OCCURRED.
BUT IN TERMS OF OUR DECISION, HOW DOES THAT IMPACT IT? WELL, IT DOESN'T IMPACT IT DIRECTLY.
THE WAY THE STATE LAW IS WRITTEN, THE HOA CANNOT DENY A SOLAR PANEL UNLESS IT EXTENDS ABOVE THE ROOF LINE.
THEY DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOCATE THE PANELS ON THE ROOF LINE.
BUT IF YOU SUBMIT A MODEL WHICH SHOWS IF YOU MOVE IT TO ANOTHER LOCATION, YOU INCREASE THAT EFFICIENCY BY 10 PERCENT AS A HOMEOWNER YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT.
BUT YOU'RE NOT BOUNDED BY AN HOAS DECISION WHETHER TO APPROVE OR DENY IT.
SO, A DEFINITELY AN APPROVAL THAT THE APPLICANT HAS TO GO THROUGH, BUT IT'S NOT TIED TO OUR APPROVAL AND OUR APPROVAL IS NOT TIED TO THEIR APPROVALS.
IT'S JUST TWO INDEPENDENT PROCESSES.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT FOR NOW? I THINK WE'RE GOOD FOR NOW, BUT WE MAY INVITE YOU BACK UP DEPENDING ON WHAT WE HEAR IN PUBLIC HEARINGS. THANK YOU. OK, ITEM NUMBER NINE DOES REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING ON OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING. SO I'D LIKE TO INVITE ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO COME UP AND COMMENT ON THAT ONE TO COMMENT.
LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE SOMEBODY WHO IS GOING TO BITE.
YOU MIND STATING YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? HI, JIM [INAUDIBLE].
207 [INAUDIBLE] LANE IN SOUTH LAKE.
AND I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE MEYERS MEADOW HOA.
AND I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THE FACT THAT WE DO HAVE A POLICY IN EFFECT CONCERNING SOLAR ENERGY AND SOLAR ENERGY PANELS.
AND WE DEFERRED HIS APPLICATION TO THE ACC PENDING THE RESULTS OF SATISFACTORY GAINING THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
ALSO IN OUR POLICY, IT STATES THAT THE APPLICATION CANNOT BE DENIED UNLESS ADJACENT NEIGHBORS, WHICH YOU ADDRESSED EARLIER, TAKE OBJECTION TO THAT.
AND I THINK YOU'RE EXPLORING THAT ASPECT OF THE APPLICATION.
[00:20:02]
YES. OK.THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT'S HELPFUL FEEDBACK.
AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT MAYBE EVEN BAKE INTO OUR ANY MOTION IS MAYBE FOR THEM TO WORK ON AN ALTERNATIVE SITE PLAN THAT DOESN'T HAVE THEM ON THAT ONE WESTERN EXPOSURE. AND THEN MAYBE THAT THE APPLICANT'S WILLINGNESS, NOTING THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO REACH OUT TO THOSE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS THAT WERE NOTED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, ANYTHING WE NEED THE APPLICANT BACK FOR, I GUESS? I DON'T KNOW. DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK IN THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE I CLOSED THAT? GOING ONCE, TWICE.
WE'LL GO OUT AND CLOSED A PUBLIC HEARING.
ANY OTHER COMMISSIONER FEEDBACK, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? OTHERWISE, I THINK WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER NINE ON OUR AGENDA, ZA TWO ZERO DASH ZERO ZERO SIX THREE SUBJECT TO OUR STAFF REPORT DATED DECEMBER 31ST TWENTY TWENTY.
FURTHER SUBJECT TO THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT STAFF REVIEW NUMBER TWO DATED DECEMBER 31ST, TWENTY TWENTY. AND NOTING THE APPLICANT'S WILLINGNESS TO REACH OUT TO THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS TO GET THEIR INPUT PRIOR TO CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND ALSO NOTING THE APPLICANTS WILLINGNESS TO COME UP WITH AN ADDITIONAL PROPOSAL OR OPTION MOVING THE PANELS FROM THE WEST SIDE OF THE HOUSE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
THAT WAS A MOUTHFUL. WE HAVE A MOTION.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO AND VOTE.
PASSES SIX ZERO. GOOD LUCK AT THE NEXT LEVEL AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR HOMEWORK.
CITY COUNCIL DEFINITELY ASK ABOUT THAT.
WELL, WITH THAT AT SIX FIFTY TWO PM, I'LL GO AHEAD AND GAVEL OUT OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.
