Council to consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a duplex in an R-S (Residential-Single Family Dwelling) District for property located at 3375 Avenue C. Minutes – November 5, 2024 Rodney Davis, of Destin Developments LLC, is requesting approval of a Specific Use Permit to allow a duplex at 3375 Avenue C. The duplex will be a new construction, and the developer intends to rent the units. Parking will be provided within the garages and driveways of each unit. The intent of the project is to expand housing options to the community and promote infill development of vacant properties. According to our City’s Comprehensive Plan the property is located within the “Conservation Revitalization Area,” such areas are “built up areas where a significant portion of the area is experiencing influences such as incompatible land uses, dilapidated and derelict structures, a decline in population and in the number of housing units and businesses. Immediate actions are needed to prevent continued deterioration and to reverse and repair those conditions.” This request appears to align with our City’s Comprehensive Plan for Beaumont. At a Joint Public Hearing held on October 21, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended 5:0 to approve the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a duplex in an RS (Residential- Single-Family) District for property located at 3375 Avenue C, with the following conditions: 1. Construction plans must meet all requirements by Water Utilities for water and sanitary sewer services, including any requirements of the City’s backflow, pre-treatment and/or FOG program. 2. Construction plans shall comply with all applicable Fire and Building Code requirements. 3. A 4’ wide sidewalk shall be installed along the front property line abutting Avenue C in a manner approved by the City Public Works Department. Approval of the ordinance, with the following conditions: 1. Construction plans must meet all requirements by Water Utilities for water and sanitary sewer services, including any requirements of the City’s backflow, pre-treatment and/or FOG program. 2.

Mayor Pro Tem Neild seconded the motion. AYES:MAYOR WEST, MAYOR PRO TEM NEILD, COUNCILMEMBERS DURIO, GETZ, TURNER, FELDSCHAU AND SAMUEL NAYS:NONE Minutes – November 5, 2024 MOTION PASSED ORDINANCE 24-068 6. Council to consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a second dwelling unit in an R-S (Residential-Single Family Dwelling) District for property located at 8590 Humble Road. Christopher Vargas is requesting a Specific Use Permit to keep a second dwelling unit on the property located at 8590 Humble Road. This property is located within the R-S (Residential Single-Family Dwelling) District and as such a second dwelling unit requires a Specific Use Permit. The City issued a Stop Work Order as no permits were filed prior to retrofitting a storage building into a dwelling unit. Mr. Vargas is seeking approval of the second dwelling unit to begin the process to come into compliance with City Ordinances. At a Joint Public Hearing held on October 21, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended 5:0 to deny the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a second dwelling unit in an R-S (Residential Single-Family Dwelling) District for property located at 8590 Humble Road. Denial of Ordinance. Councilmember Getz moved to ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE DENYING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A SECOND DWELLING UNIT IN AN R-S (RESIDENTIAL-SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING) DISTRICT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8590 HUMBLE ROAD, IN THE CITY OF BEAUMONT, JEFFERSON COUNTY, TEXAS. Councilmember Feldschau seconded the motion. AYES:MAYOR WEST, MAYOR PRO TEM NEILD, COUNCILMEMBERS DURIO, GETZ, TURNER, FELDSCHAU AND SAMUEL NAYS:NONE MOTION DENIED 7. Council to consider a request for a rezoning from an RM-H (Residential Multiple Family- Highest Density) District to a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District or a more restrictive district for property located just south of 3250 South 11th Street. Delores Dee Chevis, of Dee Richard Real Estate Investments LLC, is requesting approval of a Rezoning from an RM-H (Residential Multiple Family-High Density) District to a GC- MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District or a more restrictive zoning district to four lots located just south of 3250 South 11th Street. The purpose of this request is to open commercial development opportunities to this property. According to the Comprehensive Plan the property is located within a “Conservation Revitalization Area,” such areas are ”built up areas where a significant portion of the area is experiencing influences such as incompatible land uses, dilapidated and derelict structures, a deteriorating or poor public infrastructure, and a decline in population and in Minutes – November 5, 2024 the number of housing units and businesses. Immediate actions are needed to prevent continued deterioration and to reverse and repair those conditions.” The proposed Rezoning appears to align with the Comprehensive plan as it would foster the continued growth of the commercial businesses fronting along South 11th street. Additionally, the property fronts a major arterial road, which typically encourages and supports high density uses. At a Joint Public Hearing held on October 21, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended 5:0 to approve the request for a Rezoning from an RM-H (Residential Multiple Family-Highest Density) District to a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District or a more restrictive zoning district, for property located just south of 3250 South 11th Street. Approval of the ordinance. Councilmember Durio moved to ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 28 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS, AND IN PARTICULAR THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS, AS INDICATED UPON THE ZONING MAP OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS, BY CHANGING THE ZONING OF PROPERTY PRESENTLY ZONED RM-H ( RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE FAMILY-HIGHEST DENSITY) DISTRICT AND NC (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT TO GC-MD (GENERAL COMMERCIAL-MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLING) DISTRICT FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF 3250 SOUTH 11TH STREET, BEAUMONT, JEFFERSON COUNTY, TEXAS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL AND PROVIDING A PENALTY. Councilmember Turner seconded the motion. AYES:MAYOR WEST, MAYOR PRO TEM NEILD, COUNCILMEMBERS DURIO, GETZ, TURNER, FELDSCHAU AND SAMUEL NAYS:NONE MOTION PASSED ORDINANCE 24-069 PUBLIC HEARING Council to Receive Comments Regarding the City’s Emergency Management Program and Plan Public Hearing Open: 3:02 p.m. None Public Hearing Close: 3:02 p.m. WORK SESSION Council to Review and Discuss the Application and Scoring Process for Low Income Tax Credit Housing Developments Minutes – November 5, 2024 8. Council to consider a resolution adopting a scoring system for proposals submitted by developers in relation to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) Annual Competition for Tax Credits. The city annually receives requests from developers for support to their applications to the TDHCA tax credit competition. For the developer to submit the application to the State, the TDHCA requires that the City Council acknowledge and confirm that the City of Beaumont has more than twice the state average of units per capita supported by Housing Tax Credits or Private Activity Bonds. The City Council recently expressed some concern for the number of large, multi-family developments in areas already suffering from heavy traffic (like Major Drive). In addition, the Council addressed interest in encouraging less dense developments, such as townhomes or detached units. These could still offer subsidized rents but do so in a less congested way. Finally, HUD documents indicate that developments that offer both subsidized and market-rate units, a variety of income levels, offer better outcomes for residents. Therefore, the proposed scoring system awards more points for such developments. Currently, the city does not have a scoring system in place and would like to implement a plan so staff may recommend, and the City Council may make decisions based on data to proposed TDHCA tax credit developments in the future. Approval of the resolution. Mayor Pro Tem Neild moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY ADOPTS A SCORING SYSTEM FOR PROPOSALS SUBMITTED BY DEVELOPERS IN RELATION TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS (TDHCA) ANNUAL COMPETITION FOR TAX CREDITS. Councilmember Getz seconded the motion.

The Downtown Cultural Arts District (DBCAD) has been identified as the appropriate sponsor. Their Executive Director, well versed in writing arts grants, will collaborate with staff to draft the application. Staff is proposing that the Riverfront Park existing pavilion concrete slabs, newly installed sidewalks and possible access points to City Hall & Civic Center Plaza as the proposed activity site. By the time the awards are announced, we anticipate the Riverfront Park construction to be completed, delivering a new public space. There is no local match required; however, the foundation strongly emphasized the demonstration of in-kind contributions from the City will increase the likelihood of award.

Williams, City Manager PREPARED BY:Bart Bartkowiak, Director of Public Works MEETING DATE:November 19, 2024 REQUESTED ACTION:Council consider amending the water utility service line inspection agreement with Republic Meter Inc. of Dallas, TX. BACKGROUND City Council approved the inspection of water utility service lines by Republic Meter Inc. of Dallas, TX by Resolution No. 24-191, on August 6, 2024. Republic Meter is currently engaged with the City of Beaumont to repair and replace approximately 14,000 antennas and transmitters within meter boxes. The intention was to enable Republic Meter to inspect the service lines while they were already at the meter box. Unfortunately, due to the small size of the meter boxes, most of the service line inspections could not be done. In order to continue to leverage the resources already in the field, staff proposes amending the scope of work to include removal of the meter box or excavation outside of the meter box at a rate of $35 per inspection. If the line is found to be metallic, and not plastic, then they will perform additional testing for the presence of lead. As a result of amending the scope of work with this agenda item, there will be no increase in the project cost as previously awarded at a not- to-exceed amount of $200,000.

Beaumont, TX 77707 001.004: Change Order No. 2 Grand Total: $216,746.08 For 001 Construction Contract Division 33 Line Item Type Unit price Group 3.0 Construction Scope of Work To install a replacement line for the 27-Inch sanitary sewer line under the railroad at Florida Avenue and Avenue A. This project will also abandon the existing line and provide additional manholes. Notes (PCO 1)The steel casing increased in wall thickness after further railroad review of the plans. Additionally, plans were revised to show the location of the 20-inch water line and for safety of the water line during construction, an exploratory excavation was warranted. Rail Pros required additional shoring techniques that weren’t clear prior to construction. An additional excavation and point repair to the sanitary line was needed to bypass the 8-inch sewer line in conflict with the excavation pit. (PCO 2) Additional bypass pumping time was required and at a higher flow rate than anticipated in the contract documents. The length of time was extended for the bypass pumping due to unforeseen obstacles underground. There was excessive cement-stabilized material in the entry pit location and the nearby manhole base was previously installed incorrectly. Bypass pumping was needed for installation of two of the manhole replacements as well. Existing site conditions required additional asphalt repair outside of the scope of the emergency project. The increased cost of the overall project required additional bonding by the Contractor. (PCO 3) Due to a design omission, the original cavity and a secondary one that occurred during construction were required to be backfilled and repaired to meet Union Pacific Rail Road guidelines. (PCO 4) While excavating on the eastern side of the tracks, a storm sewer line was found to be in need of replacement. Originally, it was thought that the rail road inspection team would approve replacement under the same agreement for the sanitary sewer work. (PCO 5)The rail road inspection team requested a separate agreement for the work on the storm sewer line, which required the Contractor to demobilize and remobilize once Union Pacific Rail Road is in approval.

Williams, City Manager PREPARED BY:Bart Bartkowiak, Director of Public Works MEETING DATE:November 19, 2024 REQUESTED ACTION:Council consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to award a contract to Emergency Power Service of Kountze, for the Pennsylvania Avenue Underpass Emergency Generator Repair Project. BACKGROUND On November 5, 2024, Facilities Maintenance staff discovered a radiator leak in the permanent 1-megawatt generator at the Pennsylvania Avenue Underpass pump station. The generator provides emergency power to the pump station in the event of a power failure, ensuring continued operation of the pumps. The station pumps out rainwater along MLK Parkway where it crosses Pennsylvania Avenue and Park Street. Due to the age of the radiator and the critical importance of maintaining reliable electric service to the pump station, Public Works/Engineering has determined that rebuilding the radiator must be performed on an emergency basis. Due to the age of the generator, parts are not available to replace the radiator. Therefore, the existing radiator must be rebuilt. On November 11, 2024, the City obtained a proposal not to exceed the amount of $59,400.00 from Emergency Power Service to perform the necessary repair work. Emergency Power Service will remove the radiator and refurbish it with new cores, gaskets, bolts, and replace all hoses on the engine. They will also replace the two excessively worn fan pillar block bearings. Once rebuilt, it will be reinstalled, topped off with new coolant, tested, and checked for leaks.
