A, . g Cifty COQ neff Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Patrick Donart, Public Works Director MEETING DATE: June 5, 2012 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution approving the acquisition of property in the amount of$50,000 for use at the Beaumont Municipal Airport. BACKGROUND Billy Chanley has agreed to convey his property to the City of Beaumont. The property is located at 10411 Old Sour Lake Road described as being a 0.7383 acre tract of land shunted in the A. Savery League, Abstract No.46. The property is adjoined to the south by the Beaumont Municipal Airport. The City of Beaumont would acquire the property for purposes of complying with the FAA recommendation to acquire property in fee simple that are located in the Runway Protection Zone(RPZ). The property at 10411 Old Sour Lake Road was appraised by Bishop Real Estate Appraisers, Inc. on February 4, 2011 in the amount of$70,000.00 for the market value of the land and improvements that included a 1,224 sq. ft. metal building, a water well and aerobic system and a 2,066 sq. ft. mobile home. The residual value for the mobile home was$35,000. It was determined by the City Council in September, 2011 that the City of Beaumont would only purchase properly from property owners who voluntarily chose to sell their property for the airport project. At that time,Mr. Chanley was not interested in selling the property. However, in February 2012, the mobile home was a total loss by a house fire. Mr. Chanley contacted the City of Beaumont and inquired about the original offer. Since the mobile home had been destroyed, the revised offer was$35,000. Mr. Charley offered to remove the structures and clear the property if the City would consider an offer of$50,000. The offer of the$50,000 is a fair cost to acquire this property due to the cost of debris and structural removal that the City would incur if the property were purchased in its present condition.

X A • s City Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager C>� PREPARED BY: Chris Boone, Community Development Director MEETING DATE: June 5, 2012 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider an ordinance approving a request for a zone change from GC-MD(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)District to RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling)District for-the even numbered addresses from 720-798 San Jacinto Street and from GC-MD(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)District to LI(Light Industrial)District for the odd numbered addresses from 605-803 S. 0 Street and the even numbered addresses from 810-830 San Jacinto Street. BACKGROUND In April,2012,Philip Spence, representing Spence Machine, applied for a zone change from GC- MD(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)District to LI (Light Industrial)District. Mr. Spence stated that he would like to expand his existing business by purchasing and moving into the building on the subject property. He said that the building has 480/3 phase power, and an overhead bridge crane. Mr. Spence felt that this property would be a very good location for his business and with the expansion he should be able to provide fill time employment for additional employees. At the April meeting, the Planning Manager recommended denial based upon that fact that he felt the zone change constituted spot zoning. After discussion with the Planning Commission, staff suggested that a zoning study of the area be done. A zoning study was done for the area surrounded by Fannin to the north, San Jacinto to the east, Central Park to the west and Franklin to the south. Based upon that study, staff recommends that the following addresses be rezoned to LI: Odd numbered addresses from 605-803 S. 4h St. and the even numbered addresses from 810-830 San Jacinto Street. The majority of these properties are light industrial in nature. The rezoning of these properties leaves a small pocket of five homes in the 700 Block of San Jacinto still zoned GC-MD,thus creating a spot zoning situation. Therefore, staff recommends that the even numbered addresses from 720-798 San Jacinto be rezoned to RS. At a Joint Public Hearing held May 21, 2012, the Planning Commission recommended approval 7:0 of the following addresses be rezoned to LI: odd numbered addresses from 605-803 S. 4'St. and the even numbered addresses from 810-830 San Jacinto Street and the following addresses be rezoned to RS: even numbered addresses from 720-798 San Jacinto Street.

BACKGROUND In February, 2012,the City of Beaumont Public Works Department made a request to abandon this some portion of Gilbert Street. That item was later removed from the agenda. After further consideration,the Pubic Works Department has made a request to close, instead of abandon, Gilbert Street from Main Street to Trinity Street. Gilbert Street runs directly beside the KCS Railroad ticks. What pavement that does exist is very narrow and is very close to the tracks thereby making Gilbert an unsafe street. This request is part of an effort to create a quiet zone along the KCS Railroad. The closure of the intersection of Trinity and the KCS railroad right-of-way in February, 2012, was approved for the same purpose. This item was sent to all interested parties. Water Utilities has no objection to the closure. However, there is a 4"water main between Pearl and Main and a 2" water main between Neches and Trinity. Water Utilities wants a water line easement to be retained. At a Regular Meeting held May 21, 2012, the Planning Commission recommended approval 7:0 of the closure subject to the following conditions: 1. A water line easement shall be retained. 2. No structures or appurtenances shall be placed within the easement. 3. Water Utilities will not be responsible for any surface restoration when water and/or sanitary sewer main repairs are necessary.

PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 5th day of June, 2012. - Mayor Becky Ames - WORKSESSION #�2 Review and discuss the reallocation of Community Development Block Grant Funds I RICK WITS OPPORTUXIT! CITY OF BEAUMONT BE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT T R X A • S INTEROFFICE NUMORANDUM May 18,2012 TO: Kyle Hayes,Ci Manager a r, FROM: Chris Boone,Community Development Director SUBJECT: Demolition Program COMMENT: With the resolution of the Dallas vs. Stewart case,the demolition program has now resumed. Because of the backlog created by the case, contracted demolitions are being awarded at a greater pace than usual. As a result, additional funds are needed for the program. As you are aware, elimination of slum and blight is one of the primary tools in the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Program. Redevelopment of an area is difficult to expect when it is blighted with unsafe and often illegally-occupied structures. Currently,we have three hum thirty-two (332)structures that are identified as unsafe or"red-tagged". Of that number, one hundred eighty-eight(188)are pending City Council review and one hundred forty-four(144)are awaiting demolition. Of this number, one hundred forty-one(141)are residential and three(3)are commercial. We have reviewed prior CDBG Program Years and have identified subrecipients with expired contacts and/or unexpended funds. We propose to reallocate a total of$107,641. The program would then have approximately $176,000 for demolition through the end of FY2012. The average cost to demolish a residential structure is$2,500;therefore, approximately seventy (70)structures could be removed.
