PREPARED BY: Chris Boone, Planning & Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: February 3, 2015
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider an ordinance approving a request for a specific
use permit to allow a professional office park on property zoned
GC -MD -2 (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling -2).
BACKGROUND
Rick Clark would like to develop the property in question as a professional office park. In
January of 2005, the property was rezoned to GC -MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family
Dwelling) with a 100 ft. protective buffer of GC -MD -2 adjacent to the residential subdivision to
the south. In order to develop this 100 ft. protective -buffer, a specific use permit must be granted.
The development would consist of five one-story buildings intended for medical offices, CPAs,
attorneys and other such professionals.
At a Joint Public Hearing held January 26, 2015, the Planning Commission recommended 5:0 to
approve a specific use permit to allow a professional office park on property zoned GC -MD -2
(General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling -2) District on the south side of Folsom Drive,
approximately 500 feet from Major Drive, subject to the following condition:
1. The dumpster must be moved and comply with setback and screening requirements.

RE: SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR 100' OF REAR PROPERTY OUT OF 3.345 ACRES ON
FOLSOM
Dear Planning and Zoning Commission Members,
Please review and accept my request for a Specific Use Permit for the rear 100' of
land I propose to develop on Folsom Road. This acreage is on the south side of
Folsom Road, near Major Drive as shown on the attached survey and site plan.
This development will be a professional office park with space made available for
medical offices, CPAs, attorneys, and other professionals who wish to work in this
new environment. Homes to the rear of the property will not be affected by this use
as the buildings will be one story, traffic will be minimal and will come from Folsom.
All other surrounding property is vacant, zoned GC -MD on Folsom frontage and
prime for new development. This should spur additional development along the
Folsom/Major area. Property values will not be harmed or diminished with this
new development..
The Specific Use Permit is only for the rear 100' of the property so that the
developer may make use of his land to it's maximum potential. Approval of this
permit will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of
surrounding vacant property.
In accordance with the City of Beaumont's ordinances and inspections, all utilities,
access roads, drainage and other necessary supporting facilities have been or will be
provided.
The arrangement of driveways and parking spaces are designed to provide for safe
and convenient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic without adversely
affecting the general public or adjacent development. Cross -access will be granted
to all adjacent properties as required by the owner.
City of Beaumont
December 23, 2414
Page 2
This development will be similar to a residential setting and we will not have
offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise and vibration.
Directional lighting will be installed in a manner that will not disturb neighboring
properties. Lighting will be pole lighting and security lighting.
Landscaping will be extensive as this property will become a professional business
park with well-planned vegetation and irrigation systems to maintain the
landscaping. A 6' fence will be installed at the south end of the property to separate
this park from the nearby residences.
An office park for professional firms is completely in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan for Beaumont and exemplifies the type of development our
citizens wish to have in this area.
Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns. I look forward to your
positive response.
Sincerely,

Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve a change order for emergency
sanitary sewer repairs to the contract with Simco Enterprises, Ltd., for the Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation of Small Diameter Mains Contract XXIII
TEXAS
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Dr. Hani J. Tohme, P.E.. City Utilities Director
MEETING DATE: February 3, 2015
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
approve a change order for emergency sanitary sewer repairs to the
contract with Simco Enterprises, Ltd., for the Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation of Small Diameter Mains Contract XXIII.
BACKGROUND
The City Council approved a contract with Simco Enterprises, Ltd., on December 11, 2012, in the
amount of $1,895,761.75. The contract renovated a total of 36,377 linear feet of 6 -inch, 8 -inch,
and 10 -inch sanitary sewer lines and related appurtenances.
The proposed change order in the amount of $235,780.00 will furnish all necessary labor.
materials, and equipment to rehabilitate approximately 4,040 linear feet of 8 -inch sanitary sewer
lines located south of Broussard Road. The replacement of the lines in this area is necessary as
they have deteriorated to a point where routine maintenance no longer provides uninterrupted and
adequate service. This change order also includes the cleaning and televising of approximately
3. 100 linear feet of existing 8 -inch and 10 -inch lines serving Peyton Drive and Goodhue Road.
Although these lines were rehabilitated in the 1990's, a high volume of sand and silt is entering this
line during rain events and drastically reducing the carrying capacity of the lines and thereby
causing service interruptions. The investigation of this line will provide the information
necessary in order to design a permanent solution.
The primary goals of the project are to restore the integrity of the sanitary sewer lines, restore the
carrying capacity, provide customers with uninterrupted and adequate service and meet the
Sanitary Sewer Overflow Initiative agreement requirements with the State.

FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE: February 3, 2015
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution approving the award of a contract for
refurbishing and remounting two (2) ambulance bodies to Frazier,
Ltd., of Houston, Texas in the estimated amount of $94,575.00.
BACKGROUND
Beaumont EMS operates ambulances consisting of a body or box module mounted on a heavy-
duty pickup chassis. Ambulance bodies, when periodically refurbished, have a longer service life
than the chassis on which they are mounted. Refurbishment is less costly than purchasing a new
body each time the chassis needs to be replaced. Refurbishment of bodies and replacement of
chassis are requested through the City's budget process. The Fleet Superintendent evaluated the
request and recommended refurbishment and replacement due to the age and mileage of the unit.
Pricing was obtained through the Houston -Galveston Area Council (H -GAC), a cooperative
purchasing association providing cities and political subdivisions with the means to purchase
specialized equipment at volume pricing. H -GAC complies with State of Texas procurement
statutes.

REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution approving the purchase of two (2)
pickup cab chassis from Silsbee Ford of Silsbee, Texas in the

BACKGROUND
Beaumont EMS operates ambulances consisting of a body or box module mounted on a heavy-
duty pickup chassis. Annually, based on the Fleet Manager's evaluation during the budget
process, a recommendation is made to replace worn and obsolete vehicles that are no longer cost
effective to operate. These two ambulance pickup chassis, units 7141 and 7142, both purchased
in 2006 having 106,926 miles and 112,510 miles respectively, are to be replaced due to age and
mileage. The vehicles will be disposed of in accordance with the City's surplus equipment
Policy.
Pricing was obtained through the Texas Association of School Boards (BuyBoard), a cooperative
purchasing association providing cities and political subdivisions with the means to purchase
specialized equipment at volume pricing. BuyBoard complies with State of Texas procurement
statutes. The total purchase price includes the BuyBoard fee of $400 which is paid to the vendor.
Warranties of 36,000 miles or three (3) years are provided for each new vehicle. Warranty
service is provided by local authorized dealerships. Delivery is expected within sixty (60) to

Heritage Heights
Heritage Heights is a proposed 118 unit rental high-rise property for seniors in
Beaumont, Texas.
Project Description:
High-rise -
40 one bedroom units - 722 square feet
78 two bedroom - 2 bath units - 948 square feet
• Clubhouse with offices, maintenance facilities, support services area, health club,
games room, library, business center, kitchen, meeting and party rooms.
Heritage Heights �'
Units will feature:
• Energy saving features including:
0 14 SEER AC with programmable thermostats
o Energy Star rated lights, plumbing and appliances
o Energy Star rated windows
o Passive solar features
• Full kitchens with pantry
• Washer and. Dryer connections in all units
• Ceiling Fans in living and bedrooms
• Water saving landscaping and fixtures
• Some covered parking or garages
Vista G—d w Spri- Hill _ � _
ECONOMICS
• Overall prcVct cost - $15,700,000
• For residents of all income. Some units will be restricted to residents that
make less than 600io of the area median income - for example 524,300 for a
family of two, some to residents that make less than 30% of the AMI, and
some to residents of any income.
• Sources of Funds
Heritage Heights
o Debt from conventional lender
o Local funds from the City or other local provider. $950,000 is
required to maximize points
o Equity from sale of housing tax credits
Housing tax credits are federal income tax credits. They are sold to large publicly
traded companies like Google and J.P. Morgan/Chase. These companies are
betting they will snake money over the next ten years and can apply these credits to
their federal income tax bill. The local effect is the input of over $10,700,000 of
equity into the local economy. The Statewide effect of the annual allocation of
over $60 million of tax credits is an influx of over half a billion dollars of equity
into the state each year.
This project will create short term construction jobs, as well as permanent jobs for
operation of the property and increase local business. According to the National
Home Builders there are 3 phases of economic impact from construction of
housing. First, there is the construction phase which adds an average of $52,429 to
the local economy and $4,000 to local taxes (both property and sales taxes). Next
is the first years impact which adds $24,147 to the local economy and $3,528 in
taxes. Finally there is the on going impact adding $23,567 to the local economy
and an average of $4,270 in tax revenue. How does this happen'? Contractors hire
local labor, house employees locally, buy materials and pay fees. The construction
workers eat, buy gas and shop locally. The long term effects are because residents
use banks, car repair, dry cleaners, day care, dentists, electricity, lawyers, and
medical services, read newspapers and eat out among other things. Additionally
Heritage Heights will pay property taxes to the City, County, and the School
District.
