SO REALLY IT'S UP TO THEM AND WE ACTUALLY SHRANK IT BECAUSE WE HAD SOME ISSUES GETTING IT INTO THE SPACE.
BUT DO YOU USE LIKE A STEAM MACHINE? LIKE IS THERE A WATER? UH, IT'S A FINISH HEATER.
SO, AND THEN YOU, WE USE THE ONE THAT YOU CAN PUT WATER ON AND CREATE STEAM.
MY CONCERN WITH THESE, AND WE GET THEM ALL THE TIME, IS THAT IT IS A VERY LIVABLE SPACE THE WAY IT'S BUILT.
AND SO WHEN I APPROVE THESE, I LIKE TO PUT A STIPULATION THAT THERE CAN'T BE ROUGH INS FOR LAUNDRY.
SO THAT WOULD BE MY STIPULATION IF I'M GONNA APPROVE THIS.
LIKE I'VE BEEN VERY CLEAR WITH THE, AND WE UNDERSTAND AND ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S ALSO THAT NEXT BUYER RIGHT.
SO WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.
I GUESS I'LL JUST REPEAT WHAT I ALWAYS DO WHEN THESE COME UP IS, YOU KNOW, I WISH THE COMMISSION, CITY COMMISSION WOULD GIVE US BETTER DIRECTION ON WHAT A LIVING SPACE IS.
UH, 'CAUSE THIS JUST LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE A LIVING SPACE TO ME AS A DETACHED STRUCTURE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALLISON, HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THIS REQUEST? I HAVE NOT.
IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK REGARDING THIS REQUEST? OKAY.
I HOPE BEFORE WE GO I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

[00:10:01]
BUT IT IS, IT'S A NEW HOME.WE DID NOT BUILD IT AS WE CLOSE THE PROJECT, WE STARTED THE POOL POOL'S COMPLETE AND NOW WE'RE ON PHASE TWO FOR THE OKAY.
IT JUST DOESN'T REALLY SHOW MATERIALS, I'M ASSUMING.
WELL, THERE IT IS KIND OF SIDING PLUS BRICK TO MATCH, I GUESS, CORRECT.
SO, SORRY, I JUST WANT, I JUST WANNA, LEMME SEE.
IT'S A COMBO OF BRICK IN SIDING.
HARDY ON THE BACK RIGHT THERE.
IF YOU'D LIKE, I CAN, WE CAN TAKE OUT THE STOVE TOO.
LIKE I, NO, I MEAN LIKE MY DESIGNER COMES IN AND WE GOT AN IN-HOUSE DESIGN AND HE, HE LIKES TO SPRUCE THINGS UP.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THOSE ARE LIKE CRITICAL PATH AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU'RE STILL GONNA ROUGH IN FOR GAS OR ELECTRICAL, WHATEVER THEY WANT.
WELL, ON THE GRILL, ON THE BACKSIDE, BUT RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, WE, IF YOU WANTED TO STIPULATE NO RANGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
LIKE IT WOULD NOT BE NO, I CAN'T.
I MEAN NO, THEY'RE, IT'S NOT AGAINST THE RULES.
I JUST, I WANT TO ACCOMMODATE.
THERE'S A REASON WHY WE ALL LIVE IN BRENTWOOD.
THE COMMENTS, THE COMMENTS WE MAKE ABOUT IT IS MORE ABOUT THE RESALE AND SURE.
PEOPLE THAT COME IN AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE RULES ARE, YOU KNOW? SURE.
YOU'RE, YOU'RE BUILDING IT AND THE CURRENT OWNER HAS THIS AND THEY'RE HAND BEING HANDED THESE CONDITIONS, RIGHT? CORRECT.
THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY TRANSLATE IN 3, 5, 10 YEARS SURE.
SO IT'S JUST, THERE'S NO PHYSICAL DETERRENT OBSTACLE TO USING THIS AS A LIVING SPACE.
AND SO IT, IT'S, UH, WE, WE JUST COMMENT ON THIS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DO YOU WANNA MAKE A MOTION WITH YOUR STIPULATION MOTION? DID YOU WANNA ADD? I'LL, I'LL DO A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE STIPULATION.

VERY MUCH THE HOA, WHICH IS GARDNER'S COMPANY.
UH, THE KIND OF CONCERN ABOUT, UH, UH, THERE IS NO IN, UH, UH, OTHER, UH, STRUCTURE TWO STORIES AROUND IN MY SUBDIVISION.

THAT'S VERY MUCH WHAT HAPPENED.
A ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SURE.
HAS THIS BEEN APPROVED BY YOUR HO THE NEW HO THE NEW ONE? THAT'S GOOD NEWS.
UH, YOU ADDED TWO SQUARE FEET.
WE DID RECEIVE CORRESPONDENCE FROM A NEIGHBOR.
AND EXCEPT THE LO THE, THE LOCATION DIDN'T CHANGE.

SO THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE RAISED IN THAT EMAIL, IT APPEARS THAT THIS MEETS
[00:15:01]
OR COMPLIES WITH THOSE, THE ZONING ORDINANCE, SETBACK REQUIREMENTS AND LOT, LOT COVERAGE LIMITATIONS.SO, UM, WILLOW MET WAS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE COUNTY, WITHIN WILLIAMSON COUNTY.
AND AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS DEVELOPED, UH, IT HAD A 30 FOOT FRONT, 30 FOOT REAR AND 10 FEET ON THE SIDES.
SO THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S ON THE RECORDED PLOT, THAT IS WHAT THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO HONOR SINCE THAT IS A RECORDED LEGAL DOCUMENT.
AND SO THIS SITE PLAN MATCHES WHAT THE RECORDED PLOT SHOWS.
OF THE 10 FEET ON THE, ON THE SIDES.
AND SO THAT'S ALSO BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY OF THE REAR SETBACK AND THE SIDE SETBACK, WHY WE'RE REQUIRING THAT ASBUILT SURVEY SO THAT, UM, WE CAN ENSURE THAT IT ACTUALLY IS BUILT WITHIN THE SETBACKS.

ARE YOU GONNA HAVE LANDSCAPING, ANYTHING TO BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE PEOPLE NEXT TO YOU? ANY PRIVACY LANDSCAPING PUT IN? UH, I'M GONNA DO, I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO FENCE.
IT, BECAUSE THIS IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE POOL, RIGHT? WE HAVE TO HAVE A FENCE.
UM, THERE IS NO OTHER, UH, THINGS WE CAN DO.
IT WASN'T THE DIRECT NEIGHBOR THAT SENT THE LETTER.
ALLISON, ANY OTHER CORRESPONDENCE? NO.
