On March 15, the contractor, gave two recommendations regarding the concrete for the intersection. We propose leaving the existing concrete inj place, considering several factors in support oft this decision. Despite the concrete not meeting the specified compressive strength, we believe that the combination of substantial: reinforcement, the 8-inch thickness of the concrete, and the early detection oft the issue when only halfof the intersection was completed mitigates the risks significantly. We are prepared to extend the warranty by an additional year and offer a discount of $37,613.82, reflecting the cost of the affected section. This option not only avoids the logistical challenges of demolition and replacement but also eliminates potential traffic disruptions and associated  Improvement Project.  "Option #1: Leave the Concrete in Place  inconveniences.  Option #2: Remove and. Replace  Should the city prefer a complete removal andi replacement, we are prepared to execute this option as well. However, please note that choosing this route would meanj forfeiting the discount mentioned in Option #1. The demolition and replacement process are estimated to take approximately two weeks to ensure a satisfactory outcome and additional 7 days ofo curing time.

Staffs Recommendation: After reviewing both options and discussing this with Public Commissioner Pete Morales asked City Engineer, Ronnie Cruz, how did) he find out City Engineer Ronnie Cruz stated that ini their agenda packets they will find a Concrete Compressive Strength Test Report.

Int the CUP's renewal, this affords an opportunity, for the neighborhood and Staffto convey how this mobile food court has settled within the mixed-use neighborhood. There have been no noise complaints; and there have been no trafic or parking issues expressed. However, Planning received an observation from the City's Streets Supervisor on March. 13, 2024 where he states ". that when Republic Services does their trash collection, papers fly out and drif towards their fence. The property owner of11147 W. Citrus Avenue has an employee who collects the debris on the lot around the dumpster but does not collect the trash blown onto the alley, from the dumpster area.' "The City adopted an ordinance last summer wherein ifthere is a dumpster trash issue causing a consistent health issue, the City can require the dumpster to be enclosed. Perhaps the solution to the Street Supervisor's concern is to simply have the owner's employee pick up the debris that scattered, from the trash pick-up process. There was noj public opposition at PZ's public hearing. Staff's Recommendation: Approval for a 2-year tenure; continue to abide by the mobile food court regulations with specific emphasis to have the owner's staff pick-up the scattering trash generated from the mobile food court site.

Ifwe can get a copy of thes standards maybe we can remind them but it will not be appropriate. for the Cityof Alamo to enforce any standards, rules and or regulations because we are not certified to do SO. What should be done is that the Hidalgo County Officer should follow through until the issue is resolved within at time line given. The ideal situation would bej for the City of4 Alamo to get their own. Health. Department Officer. Fire Marshall Manuel Garza hade expressed interest in this issue, as he could conducts inspections regularly and believes incorporating health inspections alongside fire inspections would be beneficial.

Public Works and City Engineering, both have indicated that iti is common practice to have the developers' contractor provide the water meter boxes as a part oft the land developments' utility construction. The plans include typically include this as a requirement of the contractor. Nevertheless, it would be prudent for the City of Alamo to merely formalize what has been commonly practiced to avoid any possible dispute int the future. In this regard, Staff proposes the following provision be added to our Subdivision regulations: The developer's contractor shall provide the water meter boxes as ani integral part oft the infrastructural improvements of the approved subdivision.

In some cases, amending the rear setback to 10'will not have any efect to a developer's planned design. However; in others, the developer may choose to increase the front landscaped areas or add the additional 5'into the apartments' footprint to thus allow more living area to its occupants.
