The Ordinance is numbered 41-2002 and is captioned as follows:

 

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 23, “PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT,” SUBPART E, “ZONING,” OF THE ABILENE MUNICIPAL CODE, BY AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS AS SET OUT BELOW; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; DECLARING A PENALTY AND CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING.

 

 

4.3       Jeff Armstrong, Development Services Manager, briefed the Council on an Ordinance considered on second and final reading amending Section 23-306.5.B, Accessory and Incidental Use; and Section 23-363, Definitions; of the Zoning Ordinance regarding shipping and storage containers, accessory storage, and the definition of buildings. Mr. Armstrong stated over the last two years cities have seen a proliferation in the use of “sea” containers, the steel units that are used for transporting goods on cargo vessels.   Staff first noticed their appearance in Abilene when retailers began using the containers as temporary storage for inventory during or in anticipation of high sales volume periods.  Some have taken up permanent location in parking lots, complete with power for interior lighting.  Recently, staff has become aware of distributors advertising the use of the containers for offices.

 

Mr. Armstrong further stated these containers were designed with a utilitarian purpose in mind and are not appropriate for use as a permanent structure for storage or occupancy.  It is possible, with great effort, to retrofit a container in order to comply with applicable codes but the fact is that functionally and aesthetically, they are a poor substitute for a properly built accessory structure.

 

Staff is proposing two amendments that would (1) confine the use of such containers to temporary accessory storage on active construction sites, and (2) clarify that the units are not to be construed as a “building,” and prohibit their use for any purpose in the Zoning Ordinance other than during construction.

 

The containers that are presently in use around the City are illegal structures as they are neither permitted nor code compliant.  If the proposed ordinance is adopted, staff will begin the process of notifying owners that the containers must be removed.  If the proposed ordinance is not adopted, staff will begin the process of notifying owners of what is required to bring the units into compliance.  The Planning & Zoning Commission and staff recommend approval of the Ordinance.

 

            Council and staff discussion included: 1) aesthetics and life/safety issues; 2) enforcement during the Christmas season; 3) comparison to other cities; 4) steps that would be taken before the issuance of citations; 5) temporary exceptions; 6) time frame for the enforcement effective date; 7) the desire of Council to continue to make Abilene a good place to do business; 8) the need for consistency; and 9) the noted purpose of the ordinance is not to prevent loading or shipping, but for long term use of the units.

 

            Councilman Archibald stated for the record Hendrick Medical Center owns an 18-wheeler trailer that is located on commercial property that was purchased by the hospital.  Councilman Archibald further stated that although the trailer looks nice and neat, it will be moved if it is not in compliance with City Ordinances.

 

            Mayor Barr opened a public hearing on the item, and the following individuals spoke in response to the request:

 

·        Bob Hammond, Abilene Association of Independent Business Owners, Box 7063, Abilene, addressed: 1) the importance of retail in Abilene; 2) allowing a temporary exception not being practical because the Christmas season starts in June; 3) in retail: 25% of business is done in two months; and 4) the containers are convenient, needed, and inexpensive.  Mr. Hammond suggested the definition of building be removed from the Ordinance and the word “structure” be added to include “containers, etc.”.  Mr. Hammond further suggested that enforcement be left up to Building Inspection and that the Council not pursue “aesthetics”.

 

·        Butch Schuman, Box 47, Tye, stated he is the owner of the containers located at Wal-Mart. Mr. Schuman further stated retail businesses will increase expenses if these containers are prohibited and his rental business will be reduced.

 

·        Les Lott, 203 Sharp Street, Ballinger, Texas store manager of Wal-Mart, stated he will comply with city requirements, that good customer service and being a good neighbor in Abilene is important to Wal-Mart. Mr. Lott further stated it would be expensive to build a separate building for storage, but Wal-Mart wants to keep their store safe and in compliance with City regulations..

 

            There being no one else present and desiring to be heard, the public hearing was closed.

 

            Further Council and staff discussion included: 1) aesthetics being a complicated issue, but having a viable purpose; 2) most containers are kept behind the buildings; 3) what message these requirements will send to retailers about doing business in Abilene; 4) standards need to be set; 5) aesthetics being important in promoting Abilene; and 6) enforcement issues.

 

            Councilman Hill made a motion to approve the Ordinance amending Section 23-306.5.B, Accessory and Incidental Use; and Section 23-363, Definitions; of the Zoning Ordinance regarding shipping and storage containers, accessory storage, and the definition of buildings as recommended by the Planning & Zoning Commission and staff, and setting an effective date of January 31, 2003. Councilwoman Alexander seconded the motion and the motion carried.

            AYES: Councilmen Archibald, Southward, Williams, Hill, McNeil, Councilwoman Alexander, and Mayor Barr.

            NAYS: None.

 

The Ordinance is numbered 42-2002 and is captioned as follows:

 

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 23, “PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT,” SUBPART E, “ZONING,” OF THE ABILENE MUNICIPAL CODE, BY AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS AS SET OUT BELOW; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; DECLARING A PENALTY AND CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING.

            NAYS:  None.

 

            Cassie Hughes, Building Official, briefed the Council on an Ordinance adopting the National Electrical Code, 2002 Edition, with local amendments.  Ms. Hughes stated the City of Abilene is currently utilizing the 1999 National Electrical Code, with amendments.  It is recommended that the 2002 National Electrical Code, with local amendments, be adopted in order that the City’s construction regulations are kept up to date.  Local amendments pertain to licensing and administrative procedures with very limited modifications made to the technical provisions of the National Electrical Code.  The National Electrical Code is utilized throughout the United States.  Ms. Hughes stated it is important that Abilene maintains compatible construction regulations with other cities, in order to reduce variation to typical standards, and eliminate uncertainty to the design professions and the electrical contractors.  Ms. Hughes recognized the Electrical Code Review Committee members and briefed the Council on the committee’s and the MPE Board’s work on the 2002 National Electrical Code, with local amendments.  Ms. Hughes stated a public hearing was held November 14th and was well attended with the construction community providing input.  Ms. Hughes then reviewed various aspects of the Code and amendments.  Ms. Hughes noted the public forums, meetings, and notices that were provided for ample notification to and input from the public.  Ms. Hughes noted the equality of contractors liability insurance requirements will be reviewed and following that review, and after input from local contractors is received, a report will be prepared and presented to Council.  Local contractor and Electrical Review Committee member Steve Letz clarified for Council the authority an apprentice electrician is given under the supervision of a Master Electrician.  Mr. Letz noted the justification for implementation of the local amendments.  The Electrical Code Review Committee, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical & Swimming Pool Board of Appeals, Electrical Sub-committee and staff recommend approval.

 

            Mayor Barr opened a public hearing on the item, and there being no one present and desiring to be heard, the public hearing was closed.

 

            Councilwoman Alexander made a motion to approve the Ordinance adopting the National Electrical Code, 2002 Edition, with local amendments, as recommended by the Electrical Code Review Committee, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical & Swimming Pool Board of Appeals, Electrical Sub-committee and staff.

The Ordinance is numbered 43-2002 and is captioned as follows:

 

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8, “CONSTRUCTION REGULATIONS,” ARTICLE VI, “CODES AND OTHER REGULATIONS,” DIVISION 3, “ELECTRICAL CODE”, OF THE ABILENE MUNICIPAL CODE, BY AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS AS SET OUT BELOW, PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, DECLARING A PENALTY AND CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING.

 

 

4.5            Councilman McNeil made a motion to remove from the table the Ordinance adopting local amendments to be used in conjunction with the 2000 International Energy Conservation Code. Councilman Archibald seconded the motion and the motion carried.

            AYES:  Councilmen Archibald, Southward, Williams, Hill, McNeil, Councilwoman Alexander, and Mayor Barr.

            NAYS:  None.

 

            Cassie Hughes, Building Official, briefed the Council on the Ordinance adopting local amendments to be used in conjunction with the 2000 International Energy Conservation Code.  Ms. Hughes stated during the adoption of the International Codes in October 2001 by the City of Abilene, provisions were made to enact the energy efficiency requirements of the Residential Code and the Energy Code in the City of Abilene, with an effective date of September 1, 2002.  Therefore, the Codes have been adopted and basic procedures established for enforcement in Abilene.  Senate Bill 5 further allows counties that are not located in the non-attainment areas to consider amendments to the referenced code. A review committee has worked for several weeks evaluating the codes and considering possible amendments.  The committee has prepared an amendment booklet that maintains compliance with State Law, while providing optimum options to Abilene citizens.  As part of Senate Bill 5, the law requires a municipality to establish procedures for administering and enforcing these codes by September 1, 2002.  Ms. Hughes identified the Energy Code Review Committee, then briefed the Council on various aspects of the Ordinance including the exemptions, impact from a permit/inspection and practical standpoint, and impact to the swimming pool and commercial industry.  Ms. Hughes referenced a memo addressing the effect the code may have on re-roofing alterations as the triggering mechanism to require an insulated roof/ceiling system since re-roofing is done primarily for maintenance purposes.  Ms. Hughes reviewed the proposed re-roofing amendment and stated staff recommendation is to include for approval the amendment as part of the local amendment packet.  The Energy Code Review Committee, Board of Building Standards, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical & Swimming Pool Board of Appeals and staff recommend approval.

 

            Mayor Barr opened a public hearing on the item, and there being no one present and desiring to be heard, the public hearing was closed.

            NAYS: None.

 

The Ordinance is numbered 44-2002 and is captioned as follows:

Mayor Barr recessed the Council into executive session pursuant to Sections 551.071, 551.074, and 551.072 of the Open Meetings Act, to seek the advice of the City Attorney with respect to pending and contemplated litigation, to consider the appointment and evaluation of public officers, and to consider the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property.

 

Councilwoman Alexander left the meeting during the Executive Session.  Councilmen Archibald and Southward left the meeting after the Executive Session.

 

The Council reconvened from executive session and reported no action taken. 

 

5.4            Assistant City Manager Michael Morrison briefed the Council on a resolution identifying project or projects for funding through the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) provides funding for highway, bridge, transit, highway safety, rail, and technology projects.  The 108th Congress, which convenes in January, will consider the reauthorization of this important transportation act.

 

In years past, the City of Abilene has used our own legislative consultant to secure Federal earmark funds for a variety of projects, including transportation related projects. This year, TxDot has requested communities coordinate with the state, through the Metropolitan Planning Organization, as we move forward with our requests for TEA-21 funding. This approach will help in our securing funding for our highest priority projects, since our particular project will move forward as part of a statewide package, presumably supported by the whole of the Texas Congressional delegation.

 

Abilene's legislative consultant (John Waits) agrees this approach will be beneficial for projects having regional impact that Abilene supports. Mr. Waits also pointed out that not including a project in our TEA-21 priority does not preclude our seeking funding from a different appropriation source.  The projects identified by staff are:

 

Enhanced North Entry Dyess AFB Access

Improved access to and from Dyess AFB is urgently needed for personnel, visitors, and freight movements.  Improved access to the Dyess north entry gate is necessary to enable the base to route freight shipments, including hazardous materials, and other commercial traffic away from the Dyess main gate, thereby improving traffic flow and traffic safety around the base while enhancing base security.  The funds will go toward improving Military Drive between FM 3438 and the Dyess north gate to withstand heavy truck traffic and aide in expenses for right-of-way, engineering, and construction.  Funds are also needed for associated interchanges to/from I-20.  A TxDOT transportation study completed in January 2001 estimated the total cost of this project at $15 million.  This project was included in the city’s 2003 federal appropriations request, and as of October 2002, the House had appropriated $1 million for this project, but there is no mention in the Senate appropriation.

 

Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail System

This project includes the development of a six-part bicycle and pedestrian trail system that will network various areas of the city most frequented by the public.  The trail system complements previously adopted plans named in the 1997 Parks & Recreation Master Plan and the 2000 City of Abilene Thoroughfare Plan. 

·        Phase I represents a series of 17 links that include bicycle paths, lands, and routes.  Phase I will provide east/west access through the city along Business 80.  North/south corridors are established along Cedar and Catclaw Creeks as well as Dub Wright Blvd.

·        The total costs estimated for Phase I are $36,772,504.  Application has been made for 80% of these costs to the TEA-21 Statewide Enhancement Program.  The 2002 Certificate of Obligation issuance included $460,000 toward this project.

 

Industrial Airpark/Multimodal Facility

One of the strategies of the Community Development Task Force was to “develop an Industrial Park/Multi-modal facility that brings air, rail, and truck together.  Such a park/facility should include economic incentives similar to other surrounding communities to level the playing field and help attract economic growth to this region.” This facility would tie local industry to three modes of transportation and create a network for increased economic growth.

 

Downtown Multimodal Transit Facility

This new facility would improve the interconnection of transit operations such as CityLink, Greyhound Lines, and rural transit providers.  Continued development of the downtown area and expansion of accessible transportation options remain high priorities for the City.  This center will include downtown train station improvements for Amtrak service, utility infrastructure improvements, facilitation of pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and connectivity to the Abilene Regional Airport and inter-city and regional rural buses.  Feasibility studies have been conducted and the current estimated development cost is $6,000,000.

 

Mr. Morrison distributed a map and resolution, stating staff is recommending Council approve the Resolution identifying the Enhanced North Entry Dyess Air Force Base Access as the priority project for application of funding under the Transportation Equity Act for 21st Century.

 

            Councilman McNeil made a motion to approve the resolution identifying the Enhanced North Entry Dyess Air Force Base Access as the priority project for application of funding under the Transportation Equity Act for 21st Century, as recommended by staff. Councilman Hill seconded the motion and the motion carried.

            AYES: Councilmen Williams, Hill, McNeil, and Mayor Barr.

            NAYS: None.
