DON'T MIND IT.

WE'RE DOING THIS ON THE BEACH TONIGHT.

SO FIRST THING ON OUR AGENDA IS THE INVOCATION.

[3. Southlake Business Spotlight - The Exercise Coach]

OH, MY GOD.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TODAY TO PROVIDE THE COUNCIL WITH A LITTLE VIDEO FROM THE EXERCISE COACH.

PRESENTATION] PRESENTATION] PRESENTATION]

[00:05:36]

OH, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

WELL, I'M COUNTING WATCHING THE VIDEO AS MY CARDIO FOR TODAY, SO I'M, IS ALL GOOD WITH ME. OK, GREAT.

VERY NICE. WELL, WE WISH HIM A LOT OF LUCK.

AND I KNOW THOSE SMALL SESSIONS WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO IN WITH JUST ONE OR TWO PEOPLE IN THE STUDIO ARE REALLY, REALLY POPULAR.

SO I'M SURE HE WILL DO REAL WELL.

HAS HE CONNECTED WITH THE CHAMBER YET? ABSOLUTELY. HE WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE SPONSORS THERE FOR THE GOLF TOURNAMENT THAT THEY JUST HOSTED. PERFECT.

ANECDOTALLY, I KNOW I SPOKE WITH MIKE SIMS THE OWNER.

HE SAYS THAT THEY'RE DOING VERY WELL DESPITE COVID.

THE ONE ON ONE HAS REALLY KIND OF HELPED THEM OUT.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, REALLY DONE WONDERS FOR THEM.

SO THEY'RE HOPING A LITTLE BIT MORE MARKETING WILL REALLY GET THEM OVER THE HUMP.

THAT'S GREAT. WELL, IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO AND WHEN YOU POST IT ON, SOCIAL MEDIA WILL BE SURE TO SHARE IT WITH OUR FACEBOOK FRIENDS.

MAYOR.

IF I CAN ADD A COMMENT, TOO, I WOULD JUST SAY I'VE KNOWN MIKE SIMS FOR YEARS.

I DID NOT KNOW HE HAD OPENED THIS BUSINESS.

BUT IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE A LOCAL RESIDENT, SOUTHLAKE RESIDENT.

HE HAS KIDS THAT HAVE BEEN DRAGONS AND CROSS-COUNTRY HE'S A BASEBALL COACH.

I MEAN, THAT'S A GUY THAT IS PLUGGED INTO THE COMMUNITY.

SO IT'S THIS IS A BUSINESS WE WANT TO SUPPORT.

SO IT'S FANTASTIC.

I THINK WE SHOULD SIGN RANDY UP.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, RANDY.

YEAH, THAT'S VERY GOOD. THAT'S A FEEL GOOD STORY.

AWESOME. GREAT.

THANK YOU, DANIEL. NEXT ON THE AGENDA, WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION

[4. Honors and Recognition: Proclamation for Child Abuse Prevention Month]

AND ALLIANCE FOR CHILDREN, ARE YOU HERE TONIGHT [INAUDIBLE].

DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND COME ON DOWN? AND WHY DON'T YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN TARRANT COUNTY AND THEN WE WILL COME DOWN AND TAKE A PICTURE.

PERFECT.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME AND THANK YOU FOR, AS YOU SAID, MAYOR HILL, EVERY YEAR REALLY TAKING TIME TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE REALITY OF WHAT OUR KIDS ARE FACING RIGHT NOW.

AS YOUR CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER, WE SERVE ALL OF TARRANT COUNTY AND WE HAVE BEEN A PARTNER WITH SOUTHLAKE AT THIS POINT FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

WE PARTNER WITH YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF CHIEF BRANDON TO WORK CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN CASES.

SO WE KIND OF INTERVENE AND KIND OF FIND OUR SWEET SPOT, IF YOU WILL, WHEN CHILDREN HAVE A PROTECTION ISSUE THAT BRINGS CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES TO THE TABLE, BUT ALSO BRINGS CRIMINAL POTENTIAL INTERVENTION AS WELL TO THE TABLE.

SO WE ARE PARTNERING WITH YOU IN WORKING WITH KIDS THAT HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE, SEVERE PHYSICAL ABUSE.

WE WORK ALL CHILD FATALITIES IN TARRANT COUNTY AND REALLY AIM TO CREATE A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM APPROACH TO THOSE CASES.

THE REALITY IS WHEN OUR KIDS FIND OURSELVES IN THOSE SITUATIONS, THEY DON'T NEED JUST ONE. THEY OFTEN NEED MULTIPLE.

AND WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE WHEN THOSE PROFESSIONALS COME AROUND THE TABLE AND SAY, WE'RE EACH GOING TO GIVE A LITTLE FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF THAT CHILD? AND SOMETIMES THAT MEANS IT'S NOT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR CASE, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS PUTTING WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THAT CHILD FORWARD.

AND THAT'S WHAT YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES WITH US DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL IN OUR WORK AND IT IS AN HONOR TO WORK WITH THEM.

IT'S AN HONOR TO SERVE YOUR KIDS.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WHERE WE CAN SAY WE'RE DONE, AND YET THAT'S NOT TODAY.

WE'VE GOT KIDS THAT CONTINUE TO NEED US.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SUPPORT OUR WORK AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE HARD THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

SO IT'S BEEN AN ODD YEAR FOR ALL OF US, CERTAINLY.

IT'S CERTAINLY BEEN ONE FOR OUR KIDS.

WE'VE NAVIGATED SOME THINGS THIS YEAR THAT I'M IN MY 20 PLUS YEAR HISTORY I'VE NEVER SEEN. SO I'M READY FOR US TO GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS PANDEMIC FOR LOTS OF REASONS, BUT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS, THEY REALLY NEED US.

SO THANK YOU FOR WORKING TOWARDS THAT.

[00:10:03]

NO, THANK YOU. RATHER THAN READ THE PROCLAMATION BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF WHEREAS AND WHO AS I'D RATHER ASK YOU A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S BEEN REALLY HEAVY ON MY HEART BECAUSE I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF KIDS THAT ARE REALLY SUFFERING BECAUSE OF COVID, BECAUSE OF THEIR FAMILIES CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES.

MARRIAGES ARE HAVING YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE IN SEVERE MARITAL ISSUES THAT AFFECT CHILDREN. PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO USE THEIR SAVINGS TO PAY BILLS, WHICH PUTS TREMENDOUS STRESS ON THE MAKEUP OF THE FAMILY.

WHAT'S THE I KEEP WONDERING, WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS FOR OUR CHILDREN AS THEY COME OUT OF THIS SITUATION? AND, YOU KNOW, EVEN I MEAN, I DON'T MEAN TO BE JUDGMENTAL, BUT I WILL BE BECAUSE I AM.

BUT I LOOK AT PEOPLE WHO HAVE THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN OR HAVE BECOME OBSESSIVE AND FEARFUL OVER COVID AND WHAT THEIR CHILDREN TOUCH AND WHO THEIR CHILDREN GO NEAR.

AND THERE ARE FAMILIES THAT THEIR CHILDREN HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND ANOTHER CHILD IN TWELVE MONTHS.

YEAH, THE SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF THAT ABSOLUTELY AFFECT OUR KIDS AS THEY GO BACK TO SCHOOL, THEIR MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK BACKWARDS FIRST TO KIND OF ANSWER THAT WITHIN THE FIRST THIRTY DAYS OF OUR SHELTER AT HOME ORDER HERE IN TARRANT COUNTY, ALLIANCE FOR CHILDREN HAD FOUR CHILD HOMICIDES AND ALL OF THEM WERE DIRECTLY RELATED TO INCREASED STRESS IN THE HOME.

HEIGHTENED TRIGGERS, JUST FAMILY DYNAMICS, AS YOU ALLUDED TO, THAT HAD DRASTICALLY CHANGED. WE THAT DOESN'T EVEN ADDRESS THE INCREASE IN PHYSICAL ABUSE CASES THAT WE RESPONDED SO LIKE BROKEN BONES, HEAD INJURIES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

LOOKING BACK, LAST YEAR, WE HAD A FIFTY ONE PERCENT INCREASE IN KIDS THAT WITNESSED A VIOLENT CRIME IN THEIR HOME.

WE HAD A TWENTY EIGHT PERCENT INCREASE IN PHYSICAL ABUSE CASES THAT WE WORKED.

AND AGAIN, WE DON'T WORK ALL OF THEM.

WE JUST WORK THE ONES THAT REALLY REQUIRE BOTH SIDES OF THAT CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND CHILD PROTECTION. AND SO ALL THAT TO SAY OUR KIDS ARE ABSOLUTELY FEELING THE EFFECTS OF OUR COMMUNITY, OUR FAMILY, OUR PANDEMIC DYNAMICS, ALL OF THE ABOVE.

I AM OPTIMISTIC THAT AS WE TURN TO THE FALL, OUR KIDS ARE GOING TO FULLY GET BACK TO IN PERSON. I KNOW A LOT OF SCHOOLS ALREADY HAVE THAT OPTION, AND YET WE ALSO SEE A LOT OF FAMILIES THAT ARE STILL OPTING TO STAY AT HOME, BUT WHEN A KID SITS IN YOUR FORENSIC INTERVIEW CHAIR AND WHEN YOU ASK WHEN DID THIS START? AND THEY LITERALLY DRAW TO THE DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN WE NEVER WENT BACK AFTER SPRING BREAK? YEAH.

AND IT I MEAN, IT KICKS YOUR GUT, YOU KNOW, JUST TO SAY, GOSH, WE'VE GOT TO GET PROTECTIVE ADULTS BACK IN OUR KIDS LIFE.

WE'VE GOT TO LAYER THAT.

AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT TEACHERS.

IT'S ABOUT PASTORS AND YOUTH GROUP LEADERS AND SOCCER COACHES AND ALL THE LAYERS OF PROTECTIVE ADULTS OUR KIDS HAVE ACCESS TO IT BECAUSE WITH THAT COMES DIFFERENT SOCIAL WINDS, YOU KNOW, SOCIAL INTERACTIONS THAT I THINK WE'RE MISSING RIGHT NOW.

THOSE ARE OUTLETS BOTH FOR THE KID, BUT I'M A MOM OF TWO.

IT'S AN OUTLET FOR ME TO, YOU KNOW, SO I THINK FOR OUR MENTAL HEALTH AS A PARENT, AS OUR MENTAL HEALTH FOR OUR KIDS, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'RE MISSING.

WE NEED TO RELEASE THE FEAR, LIKE YOU MENTIONED.

I MEAN, THAT'S A MENTAL HEALTH INDICATOR OR CAN BE, YOU KNOW THAT THE LONGER WE CARRY THAT. SO I THINK ALL OF US IN THE CHILD WELFARE LANE ARE SCREAMING FOR THE DAY THAT WE CAN TOTALLY BE BACK TO NORMAL BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S WHAT THE RIGHT CHOICES FOR OUR KIDS FOR A MYRIAD OF REASONS.

YEAH, ALL OF US WONDERING IF COMMUNITIES DON'T NEED TO DO A CALL TO ACTION.

AND WELL, AS WE COME OUT OF THIS, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE GONE THROUGH YEARS AND CHIEF KNOWS WHERE WE'VE HAD FOUR CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY KILLED THEMSELVES IN ONE SCHOOL YEAR.

WE HAVE WE'VE HAD NUMEROUS CASES OF CHILDREN THAT COME HOME FROM COLLEGE AND HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE ATTEMPTED SUICIDES.

AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S WE'RE A TIME BOMB BETWEEN WHAT THE CHILDREN ARE FEELING AND WHAT THEIR PARENTS ARE FEELING AND THE NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIP THAT CAN SOMETIMES HAPPEN.

[00:15:05]

AND WE COMMIT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE RESOURCES AND CAN TAKE QUICK ACTION WHEN WE SPOT OR HEAR OF A CHILD THAT HAS POSSIBLY BEEN ABUSED OR MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY.

I LOVE THE THOUGHT OF THAT BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY SEEING MORE TEEN SUICIDES THAN WE'VE EVER SEEN. IT IS ACTIVELY HAPPENING.

I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING CONVERSATIONS WE'RE HAVING WITH [INAUDIBLE]CHILDREN'S ON THEIR REGULAR BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE CROSSING OVER IN THAT LANE, IF YOU WILL.

THE MENTAL HEALTH CONNECTION OF TARRANT COUNTY IS MADE UP OF PROVIDERS.

RIGHT. AND THEY ARE NOW DOING A CAMPAIGN KIND OF WITH THIS AMONGST SOME OTHER THINGS IN MIND. AND IT'S CALLED RECOGNIZE AND RISE.

AND IT REALLY IS MEANT TO BE A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE, WHETHER THAT'S SOCIAL MEDIA OR WEBSITE DRIVEN. BUT JUST DATA TO GIVE A COMMUNITY MEMBER THE KNOWLEDGE THAT FIRST WE HAVE TO KNOW THE SIGNS OF WHAT TRAUMA LOOKS LIKE AND HOW DO WE RECOGNIZE IT IN OUR KIDS.

AND THEN HOW CAN WE TO YOUR POINT, WALK ALONGSIDE OUR KIDS AND ADULTS, FOR THAT MATTER, AND HELP THEM RISE.

SO I THINK THERE MAY BE SOME GREAT RESOURCES THAT THAT GROUP COULD TAKE, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THEIR ISD OR PUSHING OUT THROUGH CHAMBERS OR MAYOR, Y'ALL'S CONTACTS AND REALLY EXPLODE WHO'S GETTING ACCESS TO THAT.

SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.

I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF THAT.

YEAH, I TALKED TO I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE PRESIDENT OF ONE OF OUR HOSPITALS ON AN UNRELATED MATTER.

AND I ASKED THEM THE QUESTION.

I SAID I'VE ALWAYS FELT LIKE WE HEAR FROM STUDENTS THAT THERE'S NO ONE TO TALK TO IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, EVEN THOUGH WE DO HAVE MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS.

AND THAT INVESTMENT HAS BEEN MADE.

AND I WONDERED IF THE KIDS IF THERE'S A STIGMA IN THE SCHOOL, LIKE, DO PARENTS STOP THEIR CHILDREN FROM GOING AND TALKING TO A MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR IN A SCHOOL? AND SO WHAT IF OUR LOCAL HOSPITALS COULD PARTICIPATE IN A PROGRAM WHERE THEIR MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS THAT WORK WITH THEIR HOSPITALS COULD STEP UP AND SEE CHILDREN IN YOU KNOW, MAYBE A COUPLE OF HOURS A WEEK TO GET SOMEONE IN QUICKLY AND JUST DO AN EVALUATION AND THEN MAYBE WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I JUST I REALLY DO THINK THERE'S A STIGMA.

I THINK PEOPLE AND I CAN ONLY SPEAK TO SOUTHLAKE BUT I THINK IT'S PROBABLY IN A LOT OF CITIES, PARENTS DON'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW THEY'RE HAVING PROBLEMS IN THEIR HOMES AND THEY CERTAINLY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE HAVING PROBLEMS. AND I DON'T THINK THEY WANT THEIR CHILDREN GOING AND TALKING TO SOMEONE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL OR THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

I DON'T THINK THEY DO. I THINK THEY'RE AFRAID THEIR FRIENDS WILL KNOW.

A TEACHER MIGHT TELL, SOMEONE WILL SAY.

AND SO CHILDREN ARE NOT GETTING THE HELP THAT THEY NEED.

I THINK LUCKILY ONE OF THE SILVER LININGS OF THE PANDEMIC IS THE RELIANCE ON TECHNOLOGY.

AND SO IF THAT IS A BARRIER, MAYBE IT'S HOW DO WE LEAN INTO TELE MENTAL HEALTH? SO IT REMOVES THE PHYSICAL NATURE OF THAT HAVING TO BE ON CAMPUS WHERE SOMEBODY WOULD SEE YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS THAT THAT COULD HAPPEN.

NOW, MIND YOU, ABOUT THAT NEED TO BE AFTER HOURS, WHICH MIGHT CREATE A CHALLENGE ON YOUR PRACTITIONERS. BUT HOW DO WE LEAN INTO SOME OF THE OPTIONS THAT MIGHT TAKE AWAY SOME OF THOSE BARRIERS? I THINK AS A COMMUNITY AT LARGE, WHILE WE'VE SEEN THE NEEDLE MOVE, YOU CERTAINLY STILL DO SEE FOLKS THAT ARE CONCERNED WITH ACCESSING MENTAL HEALTH FOR ALL THE SAME REASONS YOU JUST MENTIONED.

SO REGARDLESS OF THE POPULATION, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE DOWN THOSE WALLS FROM ACCESSING MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT.

RIGHT THANK YOU.

COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS? SORRY, I DOMINATED.

I JUST AM REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL INVITE THE COUNCIL TO COME DOWN AND WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOUR PROCLAMATION.

THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST ENGAGING, YOU KNOW, CITY COUNCIL I'VE HAD.

AND SO YOU'RE SETTING THE BAR.

MAYOR HILL. SO THANK YOU.

[00:20:48]

ITEM L APPROVING THE 2020 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT.

AND THAT'S IT.

THAT WENT FASTER THAN I THOUGHT.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS ANYONE ON COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO ADD? OK. THE NEXT ITEM IS TO CALL THE REGULAR SESSION TO ORDER, SO I'LL BE READING OUR

[1. Call to order]

[2.A. Executive Session]

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING BEFORE I FINISH READING THIS.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS TODAY THAT I PROBABLY READ THIS EXECUTIVE SESSION STATEMENT ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TIMES IN THE SIX YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN MAYOR.

AND TODAY I WAS VERY SAD TO SEE ON FACEBOOK PEOPLE COMMENTING THAT THIS LAW MEANS NOTHING. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ELECT OFFICIALS TO REPRESENT YOU. YOU TURN OVER A LOT OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO THOSE CITIZENS THAT ARE ELECTED TO SERVE IN THESE POSITIONS.

WE TAKE AN OATH OF OFFICE, AND ONE OF THOSE OATH IS TO PROMISE YOU, THE TAXPAYER, THAT WE WILL NOT DELIBERATE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

THE REASON FOR THAT LAW IS BECAUSE BACK IN THE 70S AND GOING BACK AS LONG AS PROBABLY TIME CAN REMEMBER, ELECTED OFFICIALS THOUGHT THEY RAN THE TOWN.

[00:25:03]

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WHEN WE TAKE THAT OATH OF OFFICE THAT WE MAKE A COMMITMENT TO YOU, THAT WE WILL BE TRANSPARENT IN ALL OF OUR DELIBERATIONS.

IF WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY THAT YOU DON'T LIKE, WE'RE GOING TO SAY IT OUT HERE SO YOU CAN HEAR IT. WE'RE GOING TO INVITE YOU DOWN TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW GOOD GOVERNMENT WORKS.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS WEEK HAS BEEN A VERY SAD WEEK IN SOUTHLAKE BECAUSE WE HAD TWO MEMBERS OF OUR CARROLL ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES INDICTED FOR BREAKING THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.

I HOPE ALL OF YOU WILL REMEMBER THEIR FAMILIES, REMEMBER THEM, REMEMBER THE ENTIRE BOARD.

BUT I DO WANT TO STRESS, REGARDLESS OF HOW THIS TURNS OUT, THAT THIS LAW IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO GOOD GOVERNMENT AND SHOULD BE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO EVERY SINGLE TAXPAYER CITIZEN. THANK YOU.

SO WE ARE GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOLLOWING SECTION FIVE FIVE ONE POINT ZERO SEVEN ONE TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY, SECTION FIVE FIVE ONE POINT ZERO SEVEN FOUR TO DELIBERATE REGARDING PERSONNEL MATTERS AND SECTION FIVE FIVE ONE POINT ZERO EIGHT SEVEN TO DELIBERATE REGARDING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEGOTIATIONS.

AND WE'LL BE BACK OUT AT SEVEN O'CLOCK.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ARE WE JUST ABOUT READY? YEAH, I GOT TO GET HOME AND WATCH TEMPTATION ISLAND.

I DO WATCH. YOU'RE LAUGHING.

OH, YEAH. NO.

OK, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CALL THE REGULAR MEETING BACK IN ORDER.

IS THERE ANY ACTION NECESSARY FOLLOWING EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO, MADAM MAYOR.

OK. MAYOR'S REPORT THIS EVENING.

[3. REPORTS]

I ALREADY SPOKE EARLIER.

AD LIB IS CITY MANAGER.

DO YOU HAVE A REPORT TONIGHT? OH, GOOD. PERFECT TIMING.

OUR CITY MANAGER IS GOING TO GIVE US A REPORT.

MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, ROB COHEN HAS STEPPED TO THE PODIUM BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS.

GOOD EVENING MADAM MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

SO THIS EVENING, WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS, THE ROAD MAP FOR THIS EVENING. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE COMPLETED THIS PAST YEAR.

WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDERWAY, WHETHER IT'S DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION.

AND THEN WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE UPCOMING PROJECTS AND AS WELL AS AN OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE TO POSSIBLY COST SHARE ON SOME OF THESE PROJECTS.

I KNOW THIS IS A BUSY SLIDE, SO KIND OF STEP THROUGH IT A LITTLE BIT.

THESE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED IN THE PAST YEAR.

THE BLUE BANNER SHOWS ABOUT FOURTEEN POINT THREE MILLION DOLLARS OF PROJECTS WERE COMPLETED. EACH OF THE DIFFERENT COLORED GROUPINGS ARE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PROJECT, WHETHER IT WAS MOBILITY, STORMWATER, WATER OR WASTEWATER.

JUST TO CALL OUT FOR SOME OF THE GREEN, YOU SEE THE MT8, NM 12 AND MT 18 AFTER THE TOP THREE GREEN PROJECTS.

THOSE ARE MASTER MOBILITY OR MASTER PLAN PROJECTS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO COMPLETE.

WE'LL SEE A LITTLE MORE OF THOSE DESIGNATIONS THROUGH THE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.

AS WE LOOK AT THE EXECUTION RATE, WE TOOK THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF CIP FUNDING THAT WE HAVE AND WE LOOKED AT IT THROUGH THE NUMEROUS YEARS AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE AT ABOUT 67 PERCENT COMPLETE FOR ROADWAY AND STORMWATER AND 43 PERCENT FOR UTILITY PROJECTS.

AND THE REASON WHY UTILITY PROJECTS LAG IS BECAUSE THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RIGHT OF WAY OR UTILITY EASEMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO OBTAIN.

AND YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE PROJECTS A LITTLE LATER AND I'LL TALK ABOUT IT REALLY DELAY OUR PROJECTS SOMETIMES BETWEEN NINE TO 12 MONTHS BECAUSE OF HAVING TO WORK THROUGH EITHER CORPORATE OFFICES OR RESIDENTS THAT JUST DON'T DESIRE TO HAVE A UTILITY EASEMENT THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY. WE'RE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS PUSHED THROUGH, AS YOU CAN TELL, IN THE FAR RIGHT CORNERS THE [INAUDIBLE] ROUNDABOUT AND THE EXTENSION, WE GOT THAT DONE. THE LOWER RIGHT PICTURE IS THE SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE PAVING.

THAT'S PART OF OUR SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM.

WE WERE ABLE TO PAVE MAIN STREET AS WELL AS PART OF FEDERAL WAY DURING THE SHUTDOWN.

SO THAT WAS A SMALL VICTORY.

I KNOW THAT IT HURT THE ECONOMY, BUT ONCE WE GOT BACK AND ROLLING, WE WERE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR NEEDS FOR PARKING AND SAFE TRANSPORTATION AND ROADWAYS.

WE COMPLETED THE [INAUDIBLE] ELEVATED STORAGE TANK PAINTING PROJECT EXCUSE ME, AND THEN

[00:30:02]

SO THAT WAS A BIG VICTORY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

THE CURRENT PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE UNDER DESIGN, THERE'S A LOT OF THEM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'RE DISTRIBUTED AGAIN ACCORDING TO THAT COLOR CODING.

THERE ARE SOME OTHERS THAT INCLUDE THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE CENTER AS WELL AS THE SOUTHLAKE SPORTS COMPLEX. JUST LIKE TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO SEVERAL.

WE DO HAVE ELEMENTS OF CRITICAL DRAINAGE STRUCTURES OR STORMWATER PROJECTS WITHIN MOBILITY PROJECTS.

AND SO THERE'S TWO PROJECTS, 1938 AND CONTINENTAL RIGHT HERE, AS WELL AS CONTINENTAL AND NORTH PEYTONVILLE. BOTH OF THOSE HAVE CRITICAL DRAINAGE STRUCTURES.

AND WE FOUND THAT THE WATER DOES OVERTOP THE ROADWAY DURING SIGNIFICANT STORMS. SO WHEN WE IMPROVE THOSE INTERSECTIONS, WE'RE GOING TO BE IMPROVING THE STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL.

AND THEN YOU HAVE STRAIGHT STORMWATER PROJECTS, A FEW WATER PROJECTS, NOTE THE EMERGENCY INTERCONNECTION WITH COLLEYVILLE THAT WAS PROCEEDING ON AND WE DECIDED TO DO THAT PRIOR TO THE WINTER STORM AS WELL AS RESIDUAL CONTROL SYSTEMS. AND WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO TREAT WATER TO IMPROVE THE WATER QUALITY, WHETHER IT'S DOSING OF CHLORINE OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.

THAT WAY, WE DON'T HAVE TO FLUSH AS MUCH AND ALLOW US TO BASICALLY IMPROVE OUR WATER QUALITY THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.

OUR CURRENT PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, WHAT I DID WAS AND ACTUALLY I ASKED OUR CAPITAL PROJECT MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PICTURE OF A PROJECT THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND HE GAVE ME BICENTENNIAL PARK PHASE 3.

TYPICALLY YOU GET THE EARTH TONE PICTURES WHEN I PRESENT.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN AND BLUE SKY THAT'S THAT'S FROM HIM.

SO THAT'S ATYPICAL OF WHAT ENGINEERS PROVIDE.

BUT I THOUGHT IT ADDED SOME KIND OF PANACHE TO THE SLIDE.

SO, AGAIN, THERE'S SOME MOBILITY PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDERWAY.

OBVIOUSLY, THE 800 POUND GORILLA IS THE NORTH WHITE CHAPEL WIDENING SINCE WE'RE SINCE WE HAVE THAT. I WAS GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT PROJECT RIGHT NOW. THE STORM WATER IS ALMOST ALL COMPLETE.

WE HAVE THE TEMPORARY DRIVE THAT'S IN CARROLL HIGH SCHOOL THAT ALLOWED US TO CLOSE THE SOUTH DRIVE AND TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT ELEMENT OF THE PROJECT.

WE ANTICIPATE THE CONTRACTORS STARTING TO STABILIZE AND START GRADING FOR CONCRETE PROBABLY IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

THE LINE STABILIZATION PROCESS, WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS YOU'LL SEE SOME WORK OUT THERE AND THEN PROBABLY NO WORK FOR ABOUT FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS, WHICH IS TYPICAL.

WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT STABILIZES THE GROUND, SO IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF SHIFTING THAT OCCURS. SO WE HAVE CONCRETE PAVING OVER IT.

IT WON'T CRACK AS OFTEN.

WE FIND THAT THAT WORKS REALLY WELL FOR US.

FROM AN EXPECTATION MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE, IT'S HARD TO HAVE A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR PROJECT WITHOUT ANYBODY WORKING ON IT.

SO THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT I'D PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO YOU.

WE'LL ALSO PROVIDE THAT OUT IN NORMAL OBAS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THE CONTRACTOR IS STILL WORKING AGAIN WITH SOME STORM WATER AND HE'S MOVING TO THE NORTH.

THEN WE ANTICIPATE PAVING TO START PAVING FOR THE SOUTHBOUND LANES SHOULD BE DONE BY JUNE. MAY OR JUNE TIME FRAME.

WE'LL ANTICIPATE A TRAFFIC SWITCH ABOUT THAT TIME AND THEN THE NORTHBOUND LANES SHOULD BE PAVED AND COMPLETED WITH PAVING PROBABLY SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER TIMEFRAME.

THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK TO GO ON AFTER THAT, BUT THOSE ARE NOTIONAL TIME FRAMES RIGHT NOW FOR WHAT WE HAVE BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE'VE GOT IN THEIR PRODUCTIVITY RATE.

YOU KNOW, IF I CAN SAY I THINK, NOT THAT ANY OF US ARE HAPPY ABOUT COVID, AND I KNOW FAMILIES ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT CHILDREN HAVING TO LEARN AT HOME, BUT IT COULDN'T HAVE HELPED US OUT MORE BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH LESS TRAFFIC ON WHITE CHAPEL, SO MUCH LESS TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF THE SCHOOL CARPOOL LINES.

SO EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THE PROJECT IS TAKING A LONG TIME BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE PROJECT, I THINK THE IMPACT ON THE RESIDENTS HASN'T BEEN FELT LIKE IT WOULD HAD THIS HAPPENED TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO.

YES. AND IT'S ALLOWED US TO MOVE OUT A LITTLE FASTER AS WELL.

HOWEVER, THAT'S A GREAT SEGUE BECAUSE WE'RE UNFORTUNATELY TALKING ABOUT ROAD SHUTDOWNS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

HOWEVER, THERE IS A WATER LINE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOWERED AND THE WATER LINE, RUNS PERPENDICULAR TO THE NORTH WHITE CHAPEL.

SO IT ACTUALLY CONNECTS BICENTENNIAL PARK WATER TOWER.

THAT WATER LINE HAS TO BE LOWERED.

AND SO THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A SHUTDOWN TO THE ROAD.

WE'VE LOOKED AT ALL OTHER OPTIONS, AND RIGHT NOW WE'VE WE'VE RUN OUT OF OPPORTUNITIES AND WE'VE RUN OUT OF MEANS METHODS OF HOW WE CAN KEEP THE ROADWAY OPEN SAFELY AND GET THAT WORK COMPLETED. WE'RE ANTICIPATING THE ROAD WORK TO TAKE ABOUT TWO DAYS, WE'RE LOOKING AT A SATURDAY TO SUNDAY WORK TIME WE'LL WORK WITH PD ON ON NOISE DISTURBANCE PERMITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THE SHUTDOWN ACTUALLY IS JUST NORTH OF EMERALD.

[00:35:02]

SO YOU ACTUALLY GO AROUND THAT AREA.

WE DON'T LIKE TRAVERSING OR SENDING TRAFFIC THROUGH RESIDENTIAL AREAS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE TO GET THIS WATER LINE COMPLETED BEFORE MAY.

WE HAVE TO GET THE WATER TANK BACK IN SERVICE.

SO ABLE TO TO PROVIDE OUR ABILITY TO MEET OUR CUSTOMER DEMAND FOR WATER FOR THE SUMMER.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THAT PROBABLY NEXT TWO WEEKS OR SO.

WE'LL COMMUNICATE THAT TO THE RESIDENTS.

WE'LL DO DAILY UPDATES AS WELL.

SO WE'LL GET THAT OUT. SO WE'LL CONTINUE ON.

SO THERE IS WORK GOING ON SOUTH WHITE CHAPEL, PLEASANT RUN, OBVIOUSLY THAT INTERSECTION, THAT ROADWAY IS CLOSED UNTIL JUNE.

THAT'S A TXDOT PROJECT.

AND THEN THE FRONTAGE ROAD THAT'S CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD.

I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME UTILITIES.

THEY HAD TO GET RELOCATED AND THAT PROJECT IS 20 TO 24 MONTH TIME FRAME.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO START ROLLING HERE PRETTY QUICK IF IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY.

THERE'S A STORMWATER COMPONENT TO THE NORTH WHITE CHAPEL WIDENING, AS YOU CAN SEE.

AND SO THERE'S ALSO A WATER COMPONENT.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE NORTH WHITE CHAPEL MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE SLIDE.

AND THEN THERE'S THE PARKS PROJECTS GOING ON.

ONE ACTUALLY, PROJECT I WANTED TO POINT OUT WAS A FUEL [INAUDIBLE] WATER LINE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT'S THE MIDDLE PROJECT HERE BELOW.

WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT RIGHT OF WAY, WE TALKED ABOUT UTILITY EASEMENTS.

THIS WATER LINE DOES NOT TOUCH THE ROADWAY AT ALL.

AND IT TOOK US, I THINK, OVER NINE AND A HALF MONTHS TO GO BETWEEN OUR ATTORNEYS AND THE CORPORATE ATTORNEYS JUST TO GET THE EASEMENTS AND THE THE REAL PROPERTY DEDICATIONS NECESSARY TO GET THIS WATER LINE INSTALLED.

AND IT BENEFITED A TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF PEOPLE.

SO THAT'S KIND OF LIKE THE REASON WHY A LOT OF OUR UTILITY PROJECTS ARE LAGGING ON EXECUTION. BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO WE'LL CONTINUE TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND CONTINUE TO MOVE PROJECTS FORWARD. SO OUR UPCOMING PROJECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES AO SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM.

BUT YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE MOBILITY AND STORMWATER, WATER AND WASTEWATER PROJECTS.

ONE OF THE BIG ONES THAT WE DO HAVE IS A COUNTY PAVING PROJECT.

ACTUALLY, IT GOES FROM IT'S ON NORTH CARROLL AVENUE FROM 114 NORTH TO BURNEY LANE, ACTUALLY NORTH IS TO THE LEFT ON THAT SLIDE.

AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTING OR COMPLETING THE FOURTH LEG DOWN BY DOVE AND KIRKWOOD, WHERE THE [INAUDIBLE] OF DEVELOPMENT IS CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE STARTING TO FRAME HOUSES NOW AND THEN THE LAST OPPORTUNITY THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ARE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE IS THE LAST PART OF THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE THE TARRANT COUNTY TRANSPORTATION BOND PROGRAM.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A PRESENTATION OF 8A TONIGHT THAT I'LL GIVE.

BUT IN ESSENCE, TARRANT COUNTY IS LOOKING TO ISSUE BONDS TO PROVIDE ACTUALLY COST SHARING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND COMMUNITIES, FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS THAT MEET SEVERAL TYPES OF GOALS AND SEVERAL INITIATIVES.

AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE A LITTLE LATER.

SO THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS UPDATE FOR THIS YEAR.

I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR COHEN.

ANY QUESTIONS? I THINK YOU HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MAYOR, WE HAVE ONE MORE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING, AND I WANT TO THANK DANIEL CORTEZ, WHO'S STEPPING FORWARD. HE'S BEEN WORKING VERY HARD WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT ON THE BUSINESS GRANT PROGRAM.

WE THOUGHT WE'D GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

I'D JUST LIKE TO PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE LANDED WITH GRANT DISTRIBUTION, FUNDING AMOUNTS AND SO FORTH.

SO AS THE COUNCIL, BECAUSE WE OPENED UP THIS GRANT PROGRAM BACK IN DECEMBER 3RD THROUGH SOME FUNDING THAT WAS ALLOCATED FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO OVER TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT FUND. AND YOU'LL SEE ON THERE THROUGH DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD WITH COUNCIL AND OTHER UPDATES, WE'VE GONE AHEAD AND EXTENDED THAT DATE.

SO WE HAVE THE APPLICATION PERIOD OPEN FOR ABOUT SEVENTY THREE DAYS OR A LITTLE OVER TWO MONTHS. WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD, WE DID RECEIVE ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN APPLICATIONS.

YOU'LL SEE THAT THE BREAKDOWN IN TERMS OF THE EXTENSIONS AND WHEN WE RECEIVE THE APPLICATIONS WAS PROBABLY WELL NOTED BECAUSE BY THE TIME WE CLOSED IN FEBRUARY ON THE 14TH, WE HAD RECEIVED ABOUT 14 APPLICATIONS JUST IN THAT MONTH.

IN TERMS OF THE BREAKDOWN OF WHO APPLIED FOR THE GRANT, YOU'LL SEE ON HERE THAT PERSONAL CARE AND BEAUTY SERVICES, ALONG WITH EDUCATIONAL OR INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES, WERE REALLY THE TWO COMPONENTS THAT MADE UP MOST OF THE APPLICANTS FOR THIS GRANT THAT WE HAD.

SO YOU CAN IMAGINE A LOT OF NAIL SALONS, BEAUTY SALONS AND SO FORTH THAT DID APPLY FOR THIS THAT WERE QUITE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED DUE TO COVID.

WE DID HAVE SOME BUSINESSES THAT, OF COURSE, WERE INELIGIBLE, SOME OF THEM WERE RECEIVED FROM OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

SO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THAT.

BUT I JUST ASSUME THAT'S A TRUE TESTAMENT TO THE GREAT WORK THAT WE DID WITH THIS

[00:40:02]

TIER ONE WAS AN AMOUNT OF TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

TIER TWO WAS 7500 AND TIER THREE WAS FIVE THOUSAND.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT BREAKDOWN IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH MONEY WAS AWARDED AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT ALTOGETHER. YOU'LL SEE FOR THE PROGRAM TODAY WE'VE ISSUED ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED.

WE'RE ONLY MISSING ABOUT THREE OR FOUR APPLICANTS THAT ARE STILL OUTSTANDING WITH SOME ITEMS. I HAVE TALKED PERSONALLY TO TWO OF THEM JUST TODAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THOSE ITEMS TO US BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THEIR GRANT FUNDED FOR THEM. SO THERE IS THE QUESTION IN TERMS OF NEXT STEPS, BECAUSE AS THE COUNCIL RECALLS, WE DID HAVE ONE MILLION DOLLARS ALLOCATED TO THIS FUND.

AND AS THE COUNCIL MAY RECALL, SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS GRANT PROGRAM DIDN'T ALLOW FOR OUR HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY TO APPLY FOR THIS GRANT, NAMELY THE HILTON HOTEL AND THE CAMBRIA HOTEL.

I PROBABLY DON'T HAVE TO TELL THE COUNCIL THAT PROBABLY THE MOST IMPACTED INDUSTRY WITHIN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE HAS BEEN OUR HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY, NOT JUST IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF FOLKS THAT THEY EMPLOY WITHIN THE CITY ITSELF, BUT IN TERMS OF THE REVENUE THAT THEY GENERATE. COUNCIL SHOULD ALSO RECALL THAT WE DO GET BETWEEN 30 AND 40 PERCENT OF SALES TAX GENERATED FROM OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

SO MAKING SURE THAT OUR HOTELS RECOVER IS UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

AND IT WAS ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY TASK FORCE THOUGHT OF AS A PRIORITY. SO WITH WHAT YOU'VE SEEN ON YOUR SCREEN HERE IN TERMS OF Q2 ON THE GOLD, ON THAT GOLD NUMBER FOR FY 2021, I'LL JUST NOTE THAT THAT IS JUST THE NUMBERS FOR JANUARY.

WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED YET THE NUMBERS FOR FEBRUARY OR MARCH IN TERMS OF OUR HOT.

SO WITH THAT, OUR PLAN WITH THE REMAINING FUNDS THAT ARE LEFT OVER AND QUITE POTENTIALLY SOME FUNDS THAT MAY BE ALLOCATED TO THE CITY IN TERMS OF THE RECENT FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT JUST PASSED THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN, WE WILL BE FOCUSING OUR EFFORTS AND BRINGING FORTH A PROGRAM TO AID OUR HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY WITHIN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

SO WITH THAT, WE'LL LIKELY BRING IT FORWARD, JUST AS WE DID THE SALVING BUSINESS RELIEF GRANT, AND WE'LL PROVIDE SOME OPTIONS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER AND THEN MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE. JUST TO END THIS PRESENTATION, I WILL SAY IT IT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT EMOTIONAL HEARING FROM SO MANY OF THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THE GRANT AND LETTING THE CITY AND THE CITY COUNCIL HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR A LOT OF THEM TO APPLY.

JUST LAST WEEK, I WAS LETTING THE CITY MANAGER KNOW I HAD A WOMAN THAT WAS CRYING ON MY SHOULDER, LETTING ME KNOW THAT THIS GOT HER THROUGH RENT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND NOW THAT BUSINESS IS PICKING BACK UP.

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AND SHE WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT THERE'S NOT THE SAME TYPE OF HOOPS THAT THEY HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH IN TERMS OF FEDERAL GRANTS AND LOANS AND SO FORTH.

SO VERY THANKFUL.

AND IT'S JUST A TESTAMENT TO THE LEADERSHIP THAT WE HAVE HERE.

WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS OF THE COUNCIL.

GREAT. THANK YOU DANIEL. QUESTIONS.

I JUST HAVE A COMMENT.

I HAVE TWO, WELL, WE ALL HAVE FRIENDS WHO OWN BUSINESSES HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, BUT TWO FRIENDS OF MINE, THEY DON'T WANT TO SAY WHAT THEIR BUSINESSES ARE, BUT THEY DID WANT ME TO PASS ALONG TO COUNCIL AND TO YOU, DANIEL, HOW HOW VERY GRATEFUL THEY ARE FOR THOSE GRANTS. IT STARTED OUT AS ONE ASKING, A FRIEND OF MINE, ACTUALLY, WHO LIVES IN KELLER, ASKING ME BECAUSE SHE KNEW OF A BUSINESS IN OUR CITY WHO WAS IN NEED.

AND SO THEN I REACHED OUT TO A FRIEND OF MINE WHO I KNEW KNEW THAT BUSINESS AND THEN THAT OTHER FRIEND OF MINE ALSO APPLIED.

SO JUST IT'S JUST BEEN FAR REACHING AND WONDERFUL TO SEE HOW IT'S BENEFITED NOT ONLY OUR BUSINESSES, BUT OUR OUR FELLOW RESIDENTS WHO OWN THOSE BUSINESSES.

IT'S JUST BEEN A GREAT THING WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO FOR THEM I THINK.

SO. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS, I'D SAY DANIEL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK PROMOTING THE PROGRAM, TOO, BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES IT'S IT'S YOU KNOW IT'S HARD TO REACH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN NEED. AND SO IT KIND OF TAKES A MULTI PRONGED APPROACH.

YOU'VE BEEN VERY STEADY WITH YOUR COMMUNICATION, SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK.

I MEAN, YOU REALLY ALL THOSE KUDOS ARE WELL-DESERVED BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY IN A REAL WAY SAVED THOSE BUSINESSES, WHICH IS VERY.

THANK YOU. YEAH. I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T POINT OUT VICKY DEWEES AND CODY WILDER IN OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

IT WASN'T JUST AN EFFORT BY ME.

IT WAS DEFINITELY A GROUP EFFORT.

BUT THEY REALLY HELPED ME CARRY THIS FORWARD.

SO BIG KUDOS AND SHOUT OUT TO THEM AS WELL.

YEAH.

YEAH. WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.

I THINK I THINK IT SENT A MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR TO OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE HERE FOR THEM AND WE HAVE THEIR BACK.

AND I'M ABSOLUTELY THRILLED TO DEATH TO HEAR THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE STEPS TO HELP THE

[00:45:03]

I THINK THAT'S PERFECT.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. SO I'M THRILLED, THRILLED TO DEATH.

WE ALL GET BETTER TOGETHER.

WE HAVE TO LIFT EACH OTHER UP.

SO I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU, DANIEL.

ALSO AS PART OF THIS CONCEPT PLAN IS SOME MINOR LOT CONFIGURATIONS.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE ADDRESS AS INDICATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE.

IT IS LOW DENSITY.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON NORTH WHITE CHAPEL.

A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS ZONED OUT SF1A HAT BACK PORTION OF THE LOT IS AN OLD PANHANDLE LOT. THIS ACTION WOULD REMOVE THAT PANHANDLE CONFIGURATION.

THESE ARE THE CURRENT LOT LINES THAT ARE IN PLACE.

THERE ARE HOMES. THIS REZONING WILL NOT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BILLABLE TRACTS OR LOTS AND WILL NOT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF HOMES IN THE AREA.

THIS IS A VIEW OF THE PROPERTY FROM WHITE CHAPEL LOOKING BACK TO THE EAST, THE EXISTING BOUNDARIES ARE SHOWN IN BLUE AND THE PROPOSED BOUNDARIES ARE BY THE DASHED RED LINE.

ONE OF THE LOT LINES CUTS ACROSS A POND THAT'S LOCATED ON THE SOUTHERNMOST LOT.

THAT PROPERTY LINE WILL BE MOVED TO THE NORTH TO TO ALIGN MORE WITH THE FENCE AND ALLOW THAT LINE TO BE OUT OF THAT WATER BODY, THE PANHANDLE LOT WILL BE REMOVED.

THAT LINE WILL BE CUT.

AND THERE IS A VARIANCE FOR A LOT FRONTAGE VARIANCE REQUEST THAT IS PART OF THIS APPLICATION. AND THEN THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH WILL BE ZONED SF2 YOU CAN SEE THE THE ACREAGE WELL OVER AN ACRE ON ALL LOTS.

AND OF COURSE, THE SF2 IS ALMOST FOUR POINT FOUR ACRES IN SIZE.

[00:50:02]

AND THEN THE PANHANDLE LOT CONFIGURATION WILL BE REMOVED.

THIS IS A VARIANCE REQUEST BEFORE COUNCIL.

THEY'LL MEET ALL THE MASTER PLAN REQUIREMENTS.

THE P&Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SEVEN ZERO.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OK ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF.

[7.A. Ordinance No. 480-740, (ZA18-006), 1st Reading, Zoning Change and Concept/Site Plan for Creekside Point (formerly known as Southwest Meadows) on property described As Lot 1R1R2, Block 1, Sabre Group Campus Addition, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1901 W. Kirkwood Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "NR -PUD" Non-Residential Planned Unit Development District. Proposed Zoning: "S-P-2" Generalized Site Plan District. Spin Neighborhood #1. (If approved, the public hearing will be at the April 20, 2021 City Council meeting.)]

THIS IS A FIRST READING FOR A PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE AND CONCEPT PLAN.

THE REQUEST NOW IS FOR A FOUR STORY FULL SERVICE HOTEL WITH APPROXIMATELY 84 ROOMS AND TWO OUT PARCELS, A LOTS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY THIRTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET AND WITH USE AS PROPOSED AS RETAIL, PERSONAL SERVICES AND OFFICE USES.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF KIRKWOOD AND THE STATE HIGHWAY 114 FRONTAGE ROAD. JUST A QUICK RECAP.

THE COUNCIL DID SEE THIS AT FIRST READING ON DECEMBER 1ST.

THAT PROPOSAL WAS FOR A SIX STOREY FULL SERVICE HOTEL WITH 145 ROOMS. THERE WAS A ONE OUT PARCEL, APPROXIMATELY 9000 SQUARE FEET FOR RESTAURANT USE, AND THAT WAS ON THE SIX ACRES AS MENTIONED, THAT ITEM WAS TABLED TO JANUARY 5TH MEETING AND SUBSEQUENTLY TABLED TO THE JANUARY 19TH MEETING.

THE APPLICANT PRESENTED A REVISED PLAN AT THE JANUARY 19, 2021 MEETING SHOWING A FIVE STOREY FULL SERVICE HOTEL WITH APPROXIMATELY 100 ROOMS AND TWO PARCELS, APPROXIMATELY THIRTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET, WITH THE RESTAURANT AND SHOWROOM USES PROPOSED. SO THIS EVENING, YOU'LL SEE A REVISED CONCEPT PLAN JUST TO REMIND COUNCIL THE IT'S APPROXIMATELY SIX ACRES AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF KIRKWOOD AND THE 114 FRONTAGE.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY.

SABER IS TO THE EAST AND TD AMERITRADE IS TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE PROPERTY IN A COUPLE OF STREET VIEWS THAT WERE SHOWN IN PREVIOUS PRESENTATIONS TO COUNCIL.

THE EXISTING ZONING IS AN OLD NRPUD.

THIS IS THE SAME ZONING THAT TD AMERITRADE CAME UNDER.

THE HOTEL COMMERCIAL USES ARE PERMITTED UNDER THIS ZONING BY SUP, AND THE ZONING DOES ALLOW SOME RETAIL USES WITHIN A PRINCIPLE BUILDING.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REASON THAT SIX ACRES OR TAKE IT OUT OF THE NRPUD TO ALLOW THE CONCEPT PLAN AS PROPOSED.

QUICKLY, JUST TO GO OVER YOUR COMP PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS.

SINCE IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO MONTHS SINCE YOU'VE VISITED THIS CASE.

BUT IN TERMS OF YOUR THOROUGHFARE PLAN, IT DOES CALL FOR THE 114 FRONTAGE ROAD THAT IS CURRENTLY BEGINNING.

CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION OF THE FRONTAGE ROADS IS EXPECTED IN 2023.

THERE IS A MIXED USE LAND-USE DESIGNATION ON THE PROPERTY.

YOU CAN SEE THE DEFINITION AND THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER ON THE TYPES OF USES THAT IS YOUR MOST BROAD LAND USE DESIGNATION AND ALLOWS A NUMBER OF OFFICE COMMERCIAL HOTEL ACTIVITIES

[00:55:04]

AND WE'LL GO OVER THAT QUICKLY IN THE PRESENTATION.

ALSO, AS THE COUNCIL KNOWS, THE CAR PLAN DRILLS DOWN AND GIVES SOME VERY SPECIFIC SORT DESIRED USES ON CERTAIN PROPERTIES ALONG THE CORRIDOR AND 17 IN 1938.

THIS IS IDENTIFIED AS A RESTAURANT AND SPECIALTY RETAIL OVERLAY AREA.

YOU CAN SEE THE DESCRIPTION AND WHAT IS DESIRED FOR THAT.

THESE WOULD BE MOSTLY INDEPENDENT, UNIQUE LOCAL RESTAURANTS, SIT DOWN, CULINARY TOURISM, EDUCATIONAL COMPONENTS, ETC.

BUSINESS INCUBATION IN THERE AND SPEAKS TO SOME OF THE RETAIL USES, THE REFERENCES THE NICHE RETAIL, PARTICULARLY IN TERMS OF YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE MAP.

THIS AREA IS IDENTIFIED IN YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE MAP.

SOME OF THE FEATURES IDENTIFIED IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA IS CONSIDERED ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS AS FEATURES RATHER THAN CONSTRAINTS.

EMPHASIS SHALL BE PLACED ON PRESERVATION OF EXISTING WOODED AREAS AND SERENE CORRIDORS, AVOID CHANNEL AND PIPING STREAMS, PROVIDE NATURAL WALKING PATHS ALONG STREAMS OR CREEK CORRIDORS, PEDESTRIAN LINKS TO OTHER USES, AND USE THE TOPOGRAPHY AS AN ADVANTAGE AND PRESERVE VIEWS ARE SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

JUST A QUICK RECAP OF YOUR LAST MEETING ON JANUARY 19TH.

YOU MAY RECALL THAT THE COUNCIL TOOK A LOOK AT THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN AND DID PROVIDE SOME INPUT.

YOU ASKED THE APPLICANT PROVIDE RENDERINGS AND ELEVATIONS FOR ALL THE BUILDINGS INCLUDING HOTELS.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED THOSE RENDERINGS FOR THE BUILDINGS AND ELEVATIONS.

PROVIDE MATERIALS FOR BUILDINGS AND RETAINING WALLS.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED MATERIAL SHEETS FOR THE HOTEL AND OUT PARCELS.

JUST AS A REMINDER, THE PROPOSALS CONCEPTUALLY APPROVED THE OUT PARCELS.

THERE ARE BUILDINGS THAT ARE SHOWN AS PART OF THE SUBMISSION, BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE SITE PLAN AT A FUTURE DATE TO GET APPROVAL ON THOSE TWO OUT PARCELS, PROVIDE A MORE DESCRIPTIVE DEFINITION OF SHOWROOM USES.

AS MENTIONED, THE USES ARE NOW THE RETAIL OFFICE USE AND PERSONAL SERVICES.

SO THAT SHOWROOM USE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE PROPOSED USES AND PROVIDE RENDERINGS RELATIVE TO THE TOPOGRAPHY FOR THE BUILDINGS AND STATE HIGHWAY 114 KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD AND THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED RENDERINGS AND A VIDEO FROM THOSE PERSPECTIVES.

THIS IS THE REVISED CONCEPT PLAN THAT YOU'LL BE CONSIDERING THIS EVENING.

THE AS MENTIONED, IT'S AN SP2 ZONING.

THE HOTEL IS NOW A FOUR STOREY FULL SERVICE HOTEL WITH APPROXIMATELY EIGHTY FOUR ROOMS. THE TWO OUT PARCEL LOTS TOTAL APPROXIMATELY THIRTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET.

WITH C2 LOCAL RETAIL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT USES LIMITED TO RETAIL, PERSONAL SERVICES AND OFFICE USES ON THOSE TWO OUT PARCELS THAT ARE SHOWN.

THE FULL SERVICE HOTEL IS PROPOSED AS A PHASE ONE DEVELOPMENT ON APPROXIMATELY TWO POINT FOUR TWO ACRES.

THE ROOMS RANGE FROM 300 SQUARE FEET TO 520 SQUARE FEET.

THE HOTEL FOOTPRINT HAS BEEN IS AT SEVENTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT SQUARE FEET.

THERE'S 52 FEET AT THE PRIMARY PARAPET AND IT GOES UP TO 60 FEET ON TOP OF THE TOWER FEATURE. THE HOTEL INCLUDES TWO RESTAURANTS WITH A MINIMUM OF TWO THOUSAND SQUARE FEET, A GARDEN BAR, AN OUTDOOR COURTYARD, APPROXIMATELY ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SIXTY SEVEN SQUARE FEET OF MEETING SPACE, 300 SQUARE FEET OF FITNESS CENTER.

DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO RETAIL SUNDRY SPACE AND A SPA.

THE HOURS OPERATION FOR THE RESTAURANT BAR ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET, BUT THOSE ARE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND IDENTIFIED THE OUTDOOR SERVICES INCLUDE THE POOL AND LEISURE AREA, FIREPIT AND DINING.

THE OTHER OUT PARCELS.

WHAT THEY ARE SHOWING ARE TWO 5000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDINGS WITH THE OPTION TO COMBINE THESE

[01:00:02]

THEY ARE STILL SHOWING THE OUTDOOR SEATING AREA.

THIS IS ON LOT 2 IS ON TWO POINT FOUR SIX ACRES, THERE IS 95 PARKING SPACES THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE CONCEPT PLAN, THE BUILDING HEIGHT OF THIS PARTICULAR OUT PARCEL IS 30 FEET, SIX INCHES. AND THEN THE LOT THREE, WHICH IS TO THE SOUTH EAST IS A THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT BUILDING WITH 35 PARKING SPACES.

THE OVERALL SITE HAS 233 PARKING SPACES.

THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE IS ABOUT 54 PERCENT.

SO THE SUMMARY OF THE REVISIONS, THE HOTEL FOOTPRINT INCREASED FROM THIRTEEN THOUSAND TO SEVENTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT SQUARE FEET.

THE FLOOR AREA DID DECREASE FROM SIXTY EIGHT EIGHT EIGHTY EIGHT TO 58 195.

THE IMPERVIOUS COVERS DECREASED FROM FIFTY NINE POINT FIVE PERCENT TO 54 PERCENT, ROOMS FROM 100 TO 84 STOREYS FROM FIVE TO FOUR.

THE PERMITTED USES FOR LOTS TWO AND THREE HAVE BEEN REVISED FROM RESTAURANT AND SHOWROOM TO RETAIL, PERSONAL SERVICES AND OFFICE USES.

AND THEN THE PARKING NOW COMPLIES WITH ALL THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

THE [INAUDIBLE] STATES THAT A SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT WILL BE FILED WITH TARRANT COUNTY COURTHOUSE IF APPROVED.

THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE AND CONCEPT PLAN COMPARISON.

ESSENTIALLY THE SAME LANDSCAPE PLAN FROM A PREVIOUS SUBMISSION.

THE INTERIOR LANDSCAPING AND THE PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING DO EXCEED THE MINIMUMS PART OF THE ORDINANCE. THE TREE CONSERVATION PLAN IS UNCHANGED, WITH FOURTEEN POINT FOUR SIX OF THE EXISTING CANOPY BEING PRESERVED.

AND THEN THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED SOME RENDERINGS AND THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A POWERPOINT AND HE CAN GO IN MORE DETAILS TO DESCRIBE THESE.

BUT THESE ARE THE VIEWS FROM 114.

THE LOT THREE BUILDING.

THE VIEW OF THE TWO 5000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDINGS WITH THE OPTION TO COMBINE THEM INTO ONE 10000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.

THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOTEL.

SOME OF THE AMENITIES PROPOSED IN THE HOTEL, THE PATIO TERRACE VIEWS.

INTERIOR VIEWS.

HOTEL TECHNICAL ELEVATIONS.

IN YOUR PACKET, YOU ALSO HAVE A BREAKDOWN OF ALL THE PROPOSED MATERIALS.

THIS IS A COMPARISON THAT WE PROVIDED EACH PRESENTATION, WHICH SHOWS THE PROPOSED CREEKSIDE POINT TO THE OTHER HOTELS EITHER THAT ARE OPERATING OR IN CASE OF THE WEST END UNDER-CONSTRUCTION. BE GLAD TO REFER BACK TO THAT AT THIS TABLE IF NEEDED.

THERE ARE THREE VARIANCES.

THE DRIVEWAY VARIANCE REMAINS INTACT ALONG 114 AND KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD.

THIS IS THE STACKING REQUEST.

THE ALSO THE DRIVEWAY ORDINANCE REQUIRES A DECELERATION LANE FOR ANY DRIVEWAY LOCATED ON ARTERIAL STREET IF THE RIGHT TURN IN GRASS VOLUME EXCEEDS 50 VEHICLES THE DESIGN HOUR.

THE PROPOSAL IS USED THAT RIGHT HAND LANE ALONG KIRKWOOD.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE TRAFFIC STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS HERE IN A SECOND AS IT CONTINUOUS RIGHT HAND TURN LANE.

BUT A VARIANCE IS NEEDED TO THAT REQUIREMENT IN THE ORDINANCE AND THEN VARIANCE TO THE LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE IS REQUESTED TO ALLOW THE INTERIOR PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING AS SHOWN ON THE PLANS AND THE AND THAT IS PART OF THE LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT WOULD BE APPROVED AS PRESENTED.

THIS DIAGRAM SHOWS THE PROPOSED LOCATIONS OF THE DRIVES.

THIS IS THE 114 FRONTAGE KIRKWOOD INTERSECTION.

THIS IS A DRIVEWAY, ONE WHERE [INAUDIBLE] DRIVEWAY, TWO OFF THE FRONTAGE ROAD.

THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION TO TO PROVIDE SOME SITE DISTANCE CLEARANCE ON THE TREES ALONG KIRKWOOD IN YOUR TRAFFIC STUDY THE RECOMMENDATIONS, AGAIN, IS THE EXISTING RIGHT BOUND EAST BOUND LANE ON KIRKWOOD BE CONVERTED INTO A RIGHT TURN LANE FOR THE DRIVEWAY ONE OFF

[01:05:02]

AND THEN THE OTHER RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE INTERSECTION AT THE 114 FRONTAGE, THAT SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION IS OPERATING AT A POOR LEVEL DURING THE PM PEAK, AND THAT'S DUE TO SABER AND TD AMERITRADE AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE ALL LETTING OUT AT THAT PM PEAK BUT LOOKING AT OPTIMIZING THOSE SIGNAL TIMINGS AND SPLITS TO PROVIDE MORE EFFICIENT TRAFFIC MOVEMENT THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION.

THIS IS THE PHASE ONE CONSTRUCTION PLAN, WHICH ESSENTIALLY THE HOTEL WHICH SHOWS THE EXTENT OF THE IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION AND SOME VIDEOS THAT WE CAN REFERENCE, BUT I'LL INCLUDE STAFF'S PRESENTATION AND BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

GREAT. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR BAKER.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW FOR DIRECTOR BAKER? YES, DIRECTOR BAKER, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

CAN YOU PULL UP THE SLIDE THAT HAS THE DEFINITION OF FULL SERVICE HOTEL? YES, SIR. AND CAN YOU TELL ME THAT SLIDE NUMBER, BECAUSE I HAVE THE PACKET HERE WITH ME, I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO LOCATE IT.

AND I'M SORRY I DIDN'T HEAR THE LAST PART.

IS IT THE FAN, MAYBE IT'S A SWIRLING HAIR, JUST THE SLIDE NUMBER. BECAUSE I HAVE THE PACKET HERE, I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND IT.

YEAH, I'LL LET ME LOOK IN.

NO PROBLEM.

IT'S GOING TO BE SLIDE NUMBER 12.

GREAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF, WE CAN CALL THEM BACK UP LATER.

NO. OK.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE, WOULD YOU LIKE.

ARE WE JUST GOING TO WATCH A VIDEO OR ARE YOU GOING TO WALK US THROUGH SOMETHING? THANK YOU, DIRECTOR BAKER.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I'M DAVID CARR.

I'M AT 405 SOUTH KIMBALL AVENUE IN SOUTHLAKE.

WHEN WE LAST LEFT YOU AND I'M TOO LOUD, I'M HAVING A HARD TIME GAUGING MY.

DON'T WORRY. IT'S A WIND TUNNEL.

OK. WHEN WE LAST LEFT YOU HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT ARCHITECTURE SITE PLANNING, WE HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE SKIN.

SO WE DROPPED BACK AND TOOK A BIT OF TIME TO GET THE ARCHITECTURE TEAM TO SPIFF UP THE RENDERINGS AND THE VIDEOS.

YOU WANTED TO SEE VIEWS FROM 114 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, PARKING STUDIES.

SO WE I THINK WE WERE PRETTY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THAT.

YOU'VE HEARD ENOUGH FOR ME OVER THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU'VE SEEN ME ABOUT THIS.

SO THERE HAVE BEEN SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOTEL MARKET IN SOUTHLAKE.

AND SO I THOUGHT, THANK YOU KEN.

I THOUGHT I WOULD LEAD WITH INTRODUCING YOU TO BRIAN DEPALMA HE'S THE HOTEL OPERATOR AND A LOCAL HOTEL EXPERT.

SO IF YOU WILL, I'D LIKE BRIAN TO COME UP.

HELLO.

YEAH, I WAS KIND OF BROUGHT ON.

MY BACKGROUND IS I'M THE CEO OF DEPALMA HOTELS AND RESORTS.

I'VE BEEN IN THE HOTEL INDUSTRY FOR TWENTY EIGHT YEARS.

I ACTUALLY HAVE LIVED IN YOUR NEIGHBOR TO THE WEST IN KELLER FOR 17 YEARS.

WE'RE BASED IN GRAPEVINE.

WE'RE ACTUALLY ARLINGTON AND JUST MOVED UP TO THE GRAPEVINE AREA.

BUT FOR A LONG TIME, LIVING IN KELLER AND COMMUTING DOWN 114, I'VE CONSISTENTLY LOOKED FOR HOTEL SITES IN THAT AREA.

I KEPT MY EYE OUT. I PROBABLY HAVE TALKED TO MR. CORTEZ A FEW TIMES ABOUT DIFFERENT SITES.

IF YOU'VE TRIED TO DO A PROJECT HERE, SOMEBODY HAS SHOWED ME THE NUMBERS AND ASKED MY OPINION ON IT. WHEN CHARLES SCHWAB GOT ANNOUNCED, I REALLY FELT LIKE THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A NEED FOR MORE HOTELS IN THE AREA.

SO WE STARTED LOOKING.

I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE EFFORT BEFORE THIS PROPERTY ON THE ON THE SITE, THE HILTON GARDEN. I KIND OF KNEW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT.

I'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE IN SOUTHLAKE BEFORE ABOUT THE NEED FOR FULL SERVICE.

SO I KIND OF BROUGHT THE TEAM TOGETHER AND LOCATED THIS PIECE OF LAND AND THEN STARTED

[01:10:02]

AND I WAS KIND OF LOOKING AT IT.

WE WERE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY AND THEN IT SHRUNK TO THIS AND IT SHRUNK TO THIS.

THE BUDGET HAS STAYED RELATIVELY THE SAME BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DEFINITION OF HOTELS, ONE ONE THING THAT YOU GUYS WROTE WAS THAT IT NEEDED TO KIND OF WORK WITH THE OTHER OTHER HOTELS AS FAR AS MARKET NEED.

AND THERE'S REALLY NOT ANY UPPER UPSCALE BOUTIQUE HOTELS IN THIS AREA.

AND REALLY BESIDES THIS AREA, WHEN I SAY THIS AREA, I ALSO MEAN TROPHY CLUB, WEST LAKE, ON TO [INAUDIBLE]. AND SO WE REALLY FELT AS WE KIND OF SHRUNK IT, BUT KEPT THE DOLLAR PER [INAUDIBLE] THAT WE REALLY FELT LIKE WE COULD BRING A QUALITY PRODUCT.

EIGHTY FOUR ROOMS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO TRIP THE MARKET UP, BUT IT WOULD GIVE PEOPLE AN OPTION TO HAVE KIND OF A NICER, A NICER STAY WITH TWO RESTAURANTS IN IT.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT THAT IS GOING TO HAVE APPEAL FOR IF YOU'RE IN THE COMMUNITY. LIKE I SAID, I LIVE IN KELLER, BUT I HAVE SPENT MOST OF MY DISCRETIONARY INCOME IN SOUTHLAKE. [INAUDIBLE] KITCHEN CAN HAVE ALL MY MONEY.

AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD WOULD GO TO.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WHEN WE DRIVE BY IT, I'M GOING TO TELL ONE QUICK STORY.

MY KIDS PLAY SOCCER IN SOUTHLAKE AND WE DROVE BY THE SITE GOING TO SOCCER THIS SATURDAY.

AND MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SAID, THIS IS REALLY A GREAT SITE FOR A HOTEL.

I WAS LIKE, I'LL TELL THAT STORY BECAUSE WE'LL PROBABLY WE'LL PROBABLY COME OVER HERE BECAUSE I REALLY THINK IT IS.

SO AS FAR AS THE MARKET, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS SHOWING THE HOT TAX AND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE HOTELS AND WANTING TO SUPPORT THEM.

I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY GREAT BECAUSE WE DO NEED IT AT THIS TIME.

YOU KNOW, THIS HOTEL WILL REALLY COMPLETE.

YOU'RE PROBABLY TALKING TWENTY FOUR MONTHS AFTER YOU GET THROUGH DESIGN AND ALL OF THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH IN OUR INDUSTRY, WE'RE STARTING TO SEE A REBOUND.

IT'S BEGINNING TO BE SHARPER AND SHARPER.

I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF PENT UP DEMAND FOR TRAVEL THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE.

AND I REALLY THINK THAT 2022 WE'RE GOING TO SEE IS 2019 NUMBERS.

THAT'S THAT'S PROBABLY THE BENCHMARK OF WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GET IN 2022.

AND THEN I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO START SEEING, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING KIND OF PICK UP STEAM FROM THERE. SO I THINK THE TIMING OF THIS PROJECT, EVEN RIGHT NOW, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE LOOKING AT HOTELS THAT ARE ABOUT A THIRD TO 40 PERCENT OF WHERE THEY WERE IN 2019, I REALLY THINK THAT WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE.

SO THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY.

I'M REALLY HERE. IF THERE ENDS UP BEING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOTEL DEMAND AND MARKET AND WHAT WE'RE MARKETING TO, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO THE ARCHITECTS FOR THE PRESENTATION TO ANSWER ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS ABOUT DESIGN ON THE HOTEL SIDE.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE JOSH AND JASON, THEY'RE OUR ARCHITECTS ON THE PROJECT, THEY'LL RUN THROUGH THE PRESENTATION AND THEN THEY HAVE MATERIAL BOARDS AS WELL, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE.

GREAT. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

OK, SO WE ARE GOING TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT, WE'RE NOT ARCHITECTS, WE'RE NOT LICENSED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, SO WE CAN'T CALL OURSELVES ARCHITECTS.

WE ARE DESIGNERS FOR [INAUDIBLE] THEY CAME UP WITH DESIGNS FOR THE BOUTIQUE HOTEL.

WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS AN EIGHTY FOUR FULL-SERVICE UPPER UPSCALE EXECUTIVE HOTEL IN [INAUDIBLE] AS KIND OF A FIGUREHEAD TO DRIVING INTO THE CITY.

IF I KNEW HOW TO WORK BUTTONS, WE'D BE IN BUSINESS.

SORRY, GUYS. BEAR WITH ME. OK, SO AS IT IS TODAY, WE'RE LOOKING AT DEVELOPING AN AREA THAT HAS PLENTY OF GREEN SPACE, LIKE EVERYONE HAS SAID, IT'S A FOUR STORY HOTEL WITH A SPA, MASSAGE TABLES, FULL POOL CABANA SERVICE.

WE HAVE A SUSHI BAR ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND A FULL SERVICE RESTAURANT ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

THERE ARE THREE MEETING ROOMS. THERE'S A GARDEN BAR ON THE ROOFTOP DECK ON THE THIRD FLOOR AND EIGHTY FOUR HIGH END ROOMS. I'M GOING TO RUN THROUGH THE SLIDESHOW.

WE ALSO HAVE MATERIAL BOARDS WE WOULD LIKE TO PASS AROUND THEY ARE RATHER HEAVY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING YOUR HANDS ON THEM.

SURE, YOU WANT TO PASS THEM AROUND.

WE GOT A LOT OF STRONG GUYS UP HERE, THEY CAN HANDLE IT.

SO THE FIRST SLIDE, LIKE YOU'VE SEEN, SHOWS THE VIEW FROM 114, FROM 114, SEEING THAT IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ON 114 IN THE HOTEL.

[01:15:01]

THERE ISN'T A MATERIAL ON THE MATERIAL BOARD FOR THE RETAINING WALL, BUT THE RETAINING WALL WILL BE KIND OF THE GREY STONE TO MATCH WHAT'S ON THE BUILDING ITSELF.

AND THEN AS YOU COME AROUND THE HIGHWAY, YOU CAN GET START TO GET THE VIEW OF THE HOTEL WITH THE BUMP OUT. WITH LITTLE BUMP OUTS ON THE ROOMS AND ARTICULATIONS IN THE HOTEL.

AND THEN YOU GET YOUR DRIVE UP INTO THE HOTEL AND THEN YOU'RE KIND OF YOUR FRONT FEATURE OF THE HOTEL, WE'RE MIXING THE WOODS AND STUCCO BLUE WITH MARBLES OF DIFFERENT COLORS.

WE'VE GOT BROWNS AND GRAYS AND WOOD FEATURES, WHITE MARBLE FINS IT JUST TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT'S VERY HIGH END THERE WE HAVEN'T GONE.

THERE'S NO STONES AND BRICKS AND THINGS THAT'S MORE PORCELAIN AND MARBLE STUFF . SO SOME MORE VIEWS OF THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOTEL.

THIS IS THE GARDEN BAR PORTION OF THE HOTEL ON THE THIRD CORNER.

THIS IS THE CORNER THAT ACTUALLY FACES THE CORNER OF OUR LOT.

AND THEN I'VE GOT A LAYOUT FOR YOU ON SOME OF THE ROOMS. THIS IS THE FIRST FLOOR IT HAS.

YOU SEE THE SUSHI BAR TUCKED TO THE SIDE.

IT HAS THE IT HAS PUBLIC RESTROOMS, HOTELS ON THE ROOMS ON THE FIRST FLOOR, SPA AND FITNESS CENTER IN THE BACK.

SUNDRY SHOP, BUSINESS CENTER SEPARATED OFF TO THE SIDE AND A FULL FLOWING STAIRCASE WITH A FOUNTAIN LEADING UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR THAT THEN HAS A MEETING SPACE AND A FULL OPERABLE RESTAURANT THAT SERVICE TO THE GUESTS AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT'S AMERICAN FARE.

THEN YOU GET TO THE THIRD FLOOR WHERE WE HAVE A NICE, BEAUTIFUL, OPEN SPACE ON THE OUTSIDE, WHERE OUR GARDEN PATIO IS AND SOME OVERSIZE EXECUTIVE ROOMS. AND THEN WE HAVE THE FOURTH FLOOR, WHICH HAS ONE MORE MEETING SPACE UP ON THE TOP, AND THEN THE REST OF IT IS ALL ROOMS. THIS IS YOUR ELEVATION'S, YOUR BLACK AND WHITE ELEVATION'S OF THE HOTEL TO SHOW KIND OF MATERIALS. AND HEIGHTS, AND HERE'S YOUR MATERIAL BOARD, WE PUT TOGETHER AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL MATERIAL SAMPLE, THE MATERIAL BOARD ITSELF THAT WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU DOESN'T HAVE THE EXTERIOR BAR ON IT.

THE INTERIOR ONE THAT WE'VE PRESENTED TO YOU DOES HAVE THE GOLDEN DRAGON ON IT, WHICH WILL BE USED INSIDE ON OUR BAR AS WELL.

AND HERE'S SOME MORE VIEWS OF THE GARDEN BAR ON THE OUTSIDE, AND THEN THIS IS THE FIRST PAD SITE, THE PAD SITES, THE SHELL RETAIL PAD SITES OR SHELL PAD SITES WILL MIMIC THE SAME AND HAVE THE SAME FEATURES AS THE HOTEL ITSELF.

SO YOU WON'T HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HOTEL AND THEN ALL STUCCO BUILDINGS ON THE OUTSIDE.

THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME REPEATING MATERIALS THROUGHOUT THEM.

AND THEN WE'VE PROVIDED ROOFTOP SCREENS WITH LIGHTS AND SUCH TO HIDE ANYTHING THAT'S ON THE ROOF SO THAT YOU CAN'T SEE ANY OF THE MATERIALS AND THEN OUR FIN OFF THE SIDE AND OUR KIND OF ENTRY FEATURE INTO THE HOTEL.

HERE'S OUR POOL IN THE BACK WITH CABANAS AND FULL BAR SERVICE.

A FEW NIGHT RENDERINGS TO SHOW YOU HOW THE LIGHTS KIND OF LIGHT UP, SO IT'S NOT JUST STREET LAMPS OR DOWN LIGHTS, WE'VE BUILT LED AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE BAR AND ARE OUTSIDE OF THE ROOF FEATURE AS WELL.

AND THE INSIDE IS NO LESS SPECTACULAR THAN THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOTEL, HAVING MARBLE EVERYWHERE. BLACK MARBLE FEATURES ACCENTS ON THE WHITE MARBLE STAIRCASES.

WE HAVE A LOBBY FEATURES WITH FIREPLACES.

WE HAVE SUSHI BARS ON THAT ON THE FAR SIDE.

AND THE SECOND STORE IS AN OPEN RESTAURANT THAT OPENS TO THE LOBBY SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENED. WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP A VERY OPEN AND FLOWING CONCEPT THROUGHOUT THE HOTEL SO EVERYBODY CAN BE SEEN OR SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THEM.

HERE'S A LOOK FROM THE SUSHI BAR BACK TO THE LOBBY, AS YOU NOTICED, THE GRAND STAIR HAS FOUNTAINS AT THE BOTTOM JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU THAT FEATURE THAT YOU'RE SOMEWHERE SPECIAL AND NOT JUST THE STANDARD HOTEL.

BIG OPEN CONCEPTS IS WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR IN THE LOBBY FEATURES.

AGAIN, HERE'S THE STAIRCASE.

WE TALKED ABOUT A BIG OPEN STAIRCASE WITH WATER FEATURES.

AND I THINK THERE ARE SOME VIDEOS AS WELL, I'M GOING TO.

WE CAN SHOW A FEW OF THE VIDEOS.

SO HERE'S THE VIEW DRIVING AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE SITE.

[01:20:02]

SEE, WE'RE PROVIDING LIGHTS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING TO MAKE IT ACTUALLY LOOK LOOK, LOOK UP AT NIGHT.

WE'VE GOT LEDS SO THAT THEY'RE WE CAN CHANGE COLORS ON THE LED.

WE'VE GOT A FEW IDEAS FOR THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING JUST TO KIND OF MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT'S A HIGH END HOTEL.

AND SOME MORE VIEWS CHANGE FROM NIGHT TO DAY.

WE'VE DECIDED PUT POCKETS IN THE ROOMS THAT HAVE LITTLE PATIOS, EACH SPECIAL ROOMS HAVE PATIOS, NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE THAT.

THE BLUE MARBLE THAT'S ON THE BOARD HAS IS SURROUNDS FOR THE PATIO ITSELF.

WE KIND OF TRY TO PLAY WITH IT AND MAKE IT SEEM VERY SPECIAL, VERY HIGH END.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE LAST ONE SHOWING THE INTERIOR.

SO WE ARE OFFERING YOU AN 84 ROOM BOUTIQUE HOTEL THAT'S FULLY IMMERSIVE AND HAS MANY DIFFERENT FEATURES FOR PEOPLE WE'RE LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, AN EXECUTIVE, HIGHER END CLIENTELE, AN UPPER UPPER ECHELON HOTEL.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE KIND OF DESIGNED.

IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THE OUTDOOR PATIO, WHAT IS THAT ROOF MATERIAL MADE OF? IT LOOKS LIKE IS IT. JUST IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S WOOD.

DOES IT HAVE METAL ON TOP OR WHAT IS IT? SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF WOOD PLATFORM AND ASTROTURF.

YES, AND THEN WE BUILT THERE'S A BUILT ON TOP OF IT WOULD BE.

JUST LIKE A YEAH. WHAT'S THE PERGOLA? IS THAT MADE OUT OF IS THAT IT'S A WOOD PERGOLA WITH A METAL ROOF.

OK, IS IT ATTACHED TO THE BUILDING OR IS IT FREESTANDING.

IT'S ATTACHED. WELL IT'S ATTACHED ON THE ONE SIDE.

YES MA'AM. I GUESS I'M NOT LOOKING AT THE RIGHT PICTURE.

OH, GOTCHA.

OK, JUST OVER THE DOOR LEADING OUT.

SO THAT WAY YOU'RE NOT WALKING OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN, IF.

THAT MAKES SENSE, OK.

AND THAT ASTROTURF.

OK, QUESTIONS FOR THE DESIGNERS.

IS THERE IS THERE ANY RHYME OR REASON TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE BALCONY ROOMS? IT FEELS REALLY RANDOM.

IT IS. IT WAS RANDOMIZED ON PURPOSE JUST TO KIND OF GIVE THAT DIFFERENT FEEL A LITTLE POP OUT JUST TO PROVIDE ARTICULATION.

THAT WASN'T FOUR FEET, IN FOUR FEET OUT, FIVE FOOT IN FIVE FOOT OUT.

WANT TO GIVE ARTICULATION ON DIFFERENT LEVELS.

OK, SO IT IS RANDOMIZED.

YEAH, I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD.

THAT'S COOL.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY, I THINK THE INSIDE IS PHENOMENAL.

YEAH, ON THE ON THE I GUESS IT'S A PATIO, THE EXTERIOR PATIO.

CAN YOU TALK THROUGH REAL QUICKLY DECISION TO DO THAT? AND ALSO LIKE ME LOOKING AT THIS.

I HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT HOW MANY MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR YOU COULD ACTUALLY USE THAT WITHOUT THAT BEING ENCLOSED, BECAUSE IT GETS PRETTY HOT HERE.

AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I CAN'T IMAGINE, BUT VERY FEW MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR, THAT COULD ACTUALLY SEE A LOT OF USE. SO CAN YOU JUST KIND OF SPEAK TO THE REASONING BEHIND PUTTING THAT THERE? THE MAIN USE OF THE THIRD FLOOR TERRACE PATIO WAS TO KIND OF CREATE A NEW AREA OR NEW TYPE OF MEETING SPACE FOR COMPANY OR INDIVIDUAL.

YOU'LL HAVE TO TALK A LOT LOUDER.

WE'RE IN A WIND TUNNEL OVER HERE.

IS THAT A LITTLE BETTER. OK, SO THIRD, SO THE ROOFTOP TERRACE IS KIND OF TO CREATE A NEW SPACE, NEW MEETING SPACE IN GENERAL, JUST FROM KIND OF SHY AWAY FROM THE TRADITIONAL MEETING TABLE. SIT DOWN AND CONVERSE.

SO IT WAS MORE OF A SOCIALIZE SETTING, YOU COULD SAY. OK.

YEAH, I THINK IT'S CUTE, SO TO SPEAK, TO YOUR MONTHS OF THE YEAR QUESTION.

YEAH, IT DOES GET HOT TEXAS IN THE SUMMER, BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU A 110 DEGREE DAY.

I HAVEN'T SAT OUTSIDE ON A PATIO WITH EITHER AN ICE WATER OR SOMETHING ELSE, BUT ALSO WITH ELECTRIC HEATERS OUTSIDE.

YOU DO ADVANTAGEOUS IN SPRING AND FALL WEATHER AS WELL.

YOU CAN USE IT.

I GUESS I'M THINKING OF LIKE A DEL FRISCO'S IN TOWN WHO STARTED OUT WITH AN OUTDOOR PATIO THAT HAD NO COVERING OR ANYTHING, ANY PROTECTIVE MATERIAL.

AND VERY QUICKLY THEY ENCLOSED THAT AND PROVIDED A WAY FOR IT.

I'M WORKING. I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE WINTER.

YOU CAN SIT OUTSIDE MOST OF THE WINTER HERE EXCEPT FOR THAT BIZARRE WEEK WE HAD.

SO, YEAH, I'M JUST IF IT'S A NICE LOOKING SPACE, I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE ABILITY TO

[01:25:02]

SO THAT'S WHY WE ACTUALLY DECIDED TO ENCLOSE, NOT ENCLOSE, BUT COVER PART OF IT AND UNCOVER PART OF IT SO THAT YOU HAD THAT OPTION, THAT AGAIN, YOU HAD THE SHADE AND HOT DAYS AND YOU HAD WELL, YOU HAD THE SHADE IN RAINY AND COLD DAYS AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE BACK BAR THAT ACTUALLY PROTECTS THE WIND AS WELL, COMING OFF CLOSER TO THE HOTEL.

YEAH, I THINK IT'S COUNCILS WAY OF TELLING YOU DON'T COME BACK AND SEE US IN TWO YEARS AND TELL US YOU NEED TO HANG BIG PIECES OF VINYL TO CLOSE OFF THE ROOF PATIO.

THAT KATHY TALLEY TOLD YOU IT WAS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.

SO I'M JUST SAYING.

BUT IT'S A CUTE SPACE AND IT'S NICE TO HAVE DIFFERENT SPACES.

AND I GUESS IF IT'S ONE HUNDRED AND TEN, THEN YOU GO TO THE POOL AND YOU HAVE A COCKTAIL, RIGHT? YES, MA'AM. GO AHEAD.

I THINK OF IT FROM A STATEMENT TO YOUR POINT, BUT I THINK OF IT I THINK WOULD BE COOL AT NIGHT. YEAH, RIGHT.

LIKE THE SUN GOES DOWN EVENING.

CERTAINLY THE HAPPY HOUR CROWD.

I'M A HAPPY HOUR FAN.

SO I USED TO TRAVEL A LOT FOR BUSINESS.

I THINK WE BOTH DID. AND YOU GET TO THOSE HOTELS THAT WHEN YOU WEREN'T STAYING AT THE EXTENDED STAY, YOU HAD THE BAR IN THE LOBBY.

AND IT JUST FELT LIKE YOU WERE IN THE LOBBY OF THE HOTEL AND WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T JUST FEEL LIKE THE LOBBY OF THE HOTEL.

SO NOW YOU HAVE A BAR LOOKING OUT INTO SOUTHLAKE, LOOKING ONTO THE TREES, AND ALSO YOU CAN EXPERIENCE, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE STARS.

BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, I COULD BE IN A SUIT AND TIE AND PLAY GAMES OUT ON THE OUTSIDE AND STILL ENJOY BEING, NOT FEEL LIKE I'M TRAVELING OR AWAY FROM MY WIFE.

YEAH, YEAH. I CERTAINLY LIKE THE IDEA OF IT BEING COVERED AND PROVIDING ANOTHER MEETING SPACE AND ANOTHER CONVENING SPACE.

ANOTHER THING ABOUT THE PATIO. THERE IS LIKE SOME PRECEDENT.

IF YOU LOOK AT, [INAUDIBLE] GOING TO GOOGLE THIS RIGHT NOW BUT LIKE THE NILO SOUTH DALLAS HAS A ROOFTOP PATIO.

AND LIKE YOU SAID AT NIGHT, SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T GET THERE TILL 8, 8:30, NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. BUT ANOTHER INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS SPACE, IT'S NOT A LARGE SPACE, BUT YOU COULD ALSO USE IT FOR PRIVATE FUNCTION.

SO YOU COULD HAVE THAT BAR OPEN, BUT YOU COULD HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TOO OF CLOSING FOR PRIVATE FUNCTION. SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE CORPORATE TRAVELERS AND THEY RENT IT OUT, THAT'S ALSO ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THERE.

THAT WOULD KIND OF BE AN AMENITY TO SELL THE HOTEL.

BUT I DO AGREE, I'M NOT GOING TO SIT THERE AT SIX THIRTY IN TEXAS IN AUGUST AND HAVE A DR INK 100 PERCENT. SO I DO THINK ON DESIGN WILL CONTINUE.

I'M AN OPERATOR. SO WE LOOK AT AND SAY, WHERE'S THE SUN GOING TO BE? WHAT DOES THAT SCREENING NEED TO LOOK LIKE, WHAT ARE FANS GOING TO LOOK LIKE? AND WE'LL KIND OF THINK THROUGH SOME OF THAT AS WELL.

SO A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

SPEAKING OF HEAT, WHAT'S THE HVAC SYSTEM IN THIS HOTEL? SO EACH ROOM HAS ITS OWN HVAC SYSTEM.

LIKE A PTAC.

PTAC SYSTEM.

YEAH, [INAUDIBLE] IT'S A [INAUDIBLE] SYSTEM IN THE CORNER.

SO IT DOESN'T YOU DON'T HAVE THE GRATES ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT. YEAH, I COULD SEE IT IN YOUR RENDERING.

SO THERE'LL BE NO GRATES? NO GRATES ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

NO SIR. IT'S THE CORNER MOUNT UNIT 2 BY 2 CORNER MOUNT IN EACH ROOM.

YEAH. AND THEN FOR THE REST OF THE PUBLIC SPACE IT'S REGULAR HVAC.

CENTRAL. YEAH. YEAH.

AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION IS ON THE, THE WOOD LOOKING PRODUCT ON THE OUTSIDE ANY IDEA ABOUT WEATHER RESISTANCE, DISCOLORATION OVER TIME, THAT TYPE OF THING.

GO AHEAD. I MEAN THE WOOD, THE WOOD LIKE MATERIAL, MOST WILL MOST LIKELY BE A [INAUDIBLE] OR [INAUDIBLE] PANEL SYSTEM, WHICH IS VERY, VERY RIGID AGAINST ALL SORTS OF WEATHER.

IT ALMOST MIMICS AN ACM TYPE PANEL SYSTEM, WHICH IS KIND OF MORE PLASTIC BASED.

IS IT EASILY REPLACEABLE AND EASILY CLEANABLE YES.

SO IT'S SO THERE'S TWO BY FOUR PANELS THAT ATTACH ON A RAIN SCREEN.

THEY'RE MECHANICALLY FASTENED AND YOU CAN REMOVE THEM IF YOU NEED TO REPLACE.

SO THAT WAY IT'S NOT YOU'RE NOT TAKING DOWN THE WHOLE WALL OR HAVING TO LIVE WITH A BROKEN PANEL. THANK YOU.

YES SIR. SO A LOT OF YOUR MATERIAL BOARD THE MARBLE IS A POLISHED ARE YOU GUYS GOING WITH POLISHED AND NOT HONED? WE HAVE BOTH.

WE DO THE POLISHED AND WE HAVE AN UNPOLISHED.

WE DO HAVE IT. WE DO [INAUDIBLE] DOES HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH.

IT DOES OK.

WE WANT THE GRAY ON THE OUTSIDE TO KIND OF BE UNPOLISHED FEEL LIKE A CONCRETE LOOK, FEEL LIKE A CONCRETE LOOK TO.

FORGET THE WIND TUNNEL. I APOLOGIZE.

WE WANT THE GRAY ON THE OUTSIDE, HAVE THAT UNPOLISHED LOOK, BUT THEN ON THE POLISHED, ON THE INSIDE, WE'LL STILL HAVE TREADS FOR THE STAIRS AND THINGS TO KEEP FROM SLIP RESISTANCE. SO THIS IS A MAYBE A STRANGE QUESTION.

WE ARE REALLY CLOSE.

YOU ARE REALLY CLOSE TO THE, YOU KNOW, THE FLY PASS AND THE AIRPORT IS THE.

ARE YOU GUYS ANALYZING THE REFLECTIVITY? OK. YES.

THAT'S PART OF YOUR ANALYSIS. YES.

YES, SIR. OK. OK.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEP, I DO, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FOR THE DESIGNERS OR IF IT'S MORE FOR DAVID.

MAYBE IT'S FOR YOU GUYS LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, DAVID.

[01:30:02]

AND YOU BROUGHT UP MR. DEPALMA, WHO TOLD US THAT IT'D BE GREAT TO HAVE ANOTHER HOTEL IN TOWN. BUT THE LAST PROPOSAL WAS ONE HUNDRED PLUS OR MINUS ROOMS. NOW WE'RE AT EIGHTY FOUR PLUS OR MINUS ROOMS, BUT WE'VE INCREASED OUR SQUARE FOOTAGE BY 20 PERCENT. YOU'RE SPENDING MORE MONEY AND YOU'RE GETTING LESS REVENUE.

AND I'M NOT REALLY FIGURING ALL THIS OUT.

AND YOU'RE ADDING ROUGHLY NINE, 10 PERCENT MORE ROOMS TO OUR COMMUNITY.

THAT'S JUST SOUTHLAKE.

THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE OUR NEIGHBORING NEIGHBORING TOWNS WITHIN EASILY INSIDE OF A MILE WHERE YOU'RE CURRENTLY LOCATED.

I UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PROVIDE A FEASIBILITY STUDY, THAT WOULD BE ON PUBLIC RECORD. BUT I'M JUST TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS A LITTLE ODD TO ME THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO GO SMALLER THAN BIGGER.

I UNDERSTAND THE CUSTOMIZATION OF THAT.

I'M NOT OPPOSED TO YOU WANTING TO PROVIDE SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF SERVICE.

I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE THAT THIS WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING IS MUCH MORE FULL SERVICE IN NATURE, BECAUSE I HAD SOME CONCERNS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SKIMP AROUND WHAT THE DEFINITION OF FULL SERVICE IS.

AND OBVIOUSLY THE ROOMS ARE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER COMPARED TO WHAT WE CURRENTLY OFFER.

BUT THERE'S A NUMBER OF FEATURES HERE THAT YOU'RE OFFERING FROM A SERVICE PERSPECTIVE.

I THINK THAT OFFSET THE ROOM SIZES AND YOU CLEARLY HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE DETAIL. I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF ADDING THESE ROOMS TO THE COMMUNITY.

SO IF YOU'RE FOCUSING ON LEISURE TRAVEL OR INDEPENDENT BUSINESS TRAVEL, I HEARD MR. DEPALMA SAY THAT THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE CHARLES SCHWAB IS AS IS MOVING INTO TOWN.

THAT WOULD LEND MORE TO AN INDEPENDENT BUSINESS TRAVEL.

THIS IS MORE OF A LEISURE TYPE WEEKEND PARTY TYPE OF HOTEL.

YOU'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE A WEDDING OR SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, SOMETHING GOING ON IN TOWN.

I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED AND I'M REALLY CURIOUS AS TO THE BUSINESS MIX AND HOW THIS IS SUSTAINABLE LONG TERM, BECAUSE WITH THE ROOM SIZE, IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, THE SUSHI BAR GOES AWAY. THE UPSTAIRS PANEL, THE UPSTAIRS PATIO GOES AWAY, THE OUTDOOR BAR SERVICE GOES AWAY. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT A LIMITED SERVICE HOTEL IN THREE OR FOUR YEARS.

THAT'S THAT'S MY CONCERN.

SO I NEED TO BE SOLD ON THE VALUE OF ADDING EIGHTY FOUR OR ONE HUNDRED OR HOWEVER MANY ROOMS THAT ARE COMING INTO TOWN OR BEING PROPOSED TO COME INTO TOWN.

THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'M LANDING.

YEAH, I'LL JUST ANSWER FIRST BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN IT.

WE DON'T SEE THIS AS A LEISURE HOTEL AS FAR AS THE BUSINESS MIX GOES, I WOULD THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 70 PERCENT CORPORATE, 30 PERCENT LEISURE, NOT JUST CHARLES SCHWAB.

THERE IS A LOT OF CORPORATE BUSINESS THAT LEISURE TRAVEL WILL COME FROM SOME WEEKEND STUFF. I DON'T SEE IT AS A PARTY HOTEL AS WELL.

I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, CORPORATE EXPENSE ACCOUNTS PEOPLE, THEY LIKE TO GO AND HAVE A DRINK AFTER WORK OR AFTER THEY DO A DEAL.

SO REALLY, THE FOCUS IS ON I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, IT IS A CORPORATE HOTEL AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE TARGETING OVERALL.

THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF A LEISURE COMPONENT TO IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WEEKEND BUSINESS TO MAKE SENSE.

AS FAR AS SHRINKING, WE WERE 150 ROOMS. IT WAS GOING TO BE AN EMBASSY SUITES.

I STILL THINK THAT IT WOULD WORK AS WELL.

BUT IT JUST WASN'T IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT WAS GETTING TRACTION AS BEING FULL SERVICE ENOUGH, UNIQUE, UPSCALE ENOUGH FOR WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTED.

SO THAT'S WHY WE KIND OF REIMAGINED THIS.

WE STARTED REALLY.

AND WHEN YOU INCREASE THE COST PER ROOM, IT'S REALLY IN THE FINISHES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT THAT COST PER ROOM IS.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE NUMBERS START WORKING BECAUSE YOU'RE ADR IS GOING TO BE HIGHER.

YOU'LL CHARGE A HIGHER RATE THAN YOU WOULD AT AN EMBASSY SUITES.

SO AT THIS HOTEL, YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT YOU'RE GOING TO PROBABLY RETAIL IN THE TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO HUNDRED SIXTY DOLLARS RANGE, WHEREAS AN EMBASSY YOU MIGHT BE IN THE ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE DOLLARS RANGE.

SO RIGHT THERE YOU'LL PUSH YOUR ADR UP.

IT'S GOING TO IMPROVE YOUR MARGINS SO YOU WILL HAVE CASH FLOW IS THE OVERALL NOI AS MUCH AS ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ROOM EMBASSY.

NO. BUT COULD WE GET THAT DONE BASED ON SOME OF THE FEEDBACK WE HAD IN THE PARKING, IT WAS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE.

SO WE DO FEEL SOMEBODY WILL DO AN EMBASSY SOMEWHERE ALONG THIS CORRIDOR.

IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE IN SOUTHLAKE, BUT IF WE DON'T DO THIS PROJECT, I PROMISE YOU THERE WILL BE AN EIGHTY TO ONE HUNDRED ROOM BOUTIQUE HOTEL, JUST ANOTHER EXIT UP OR ANOTHER EXIT UP BECAUSE THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEED FOR IT AT THE END OF THE DAY.

AS FAR AS THE GLOBAL I MEAN, YOU GUYS JUST ADDED ROOMS WITH DELTA.

YOU HAVE A WESTIN COMING IN.

WE DO FEEL. EIGHTY FIVE ROOMS TWO YEARS FROM NOW OPENING UP IS REALLY GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE A SLIVER TO WHAT YOUR YOU KNOW, TO IMPACT THOSE HOTELS.

AT THE SAME TIME ADDING THESE EIGHTY FIVE ROOMS PROBABLY DOES BLOCK ANOTHER CORPORATE

[01:35:04]

SO YOU KNOW, IF WE WERE GOING TO PUT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ROOMS, I THINK THAT THE IMPACT STUDY AND THE FEASIBILITY AND HOW IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THE OTHER HOTELS WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE IN QUESTION. AND I THINK THAT WE RECOGNIZE THAT FROM THE FEEDBACK AND KIND OF RIGHT SIZE THIS FOR THIS SITE AND TO MAKE EVERYTHING WORK.

THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE ENDED UP HERE.

I APPRECIATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

DO YOU HAVE DATA THAT SUPPORTS THAT? I PULL MOST OF MY DATA.

WE DID NOT DO A HVS STUDY ON THIS PROPERTY YET.

I GO THROUGH HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES.

I'M CONSTANTLY ON THEM AND SEE WHAT EVERY HOTEL IS DOING.

I CAN TELL YOU THE REV PART OF PROBABLY EVERY HOTEL IN SOUTHLAKE UP AND DOWN THE CORRIDOR. WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THEIR [INAUDIBLE] WAS IN 2019, 2018.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE HOTEL OPERATORS AND MANAGER, SO THAT'S OUR EXPERTISE.

BUT NO, WE DO NOT HAVE AN HVS STUDY ON THIS PROPERTY.

THAT SAID, JUST THROUGH OUR EXPERIENCE, WE DO FEEL LIKE THIS HOTEL, WHEN IT OPENS AND STABILIZES AT EIGHTY FIVE ROOMS, SHOULD EASILY BE AN 80 PERCENT HOTEL AT TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS RATE, AND THAT THE IMPACT SHOULD BE MINIMAL TO EVERYBODY ELSE JUST BECAUSE OF THE ROOM COUNT.

AND SO WOULD YOU BE ACTING AS THE OPERATOR IN THIS FOR THIS FACILITY.

WE DO NOT HAVE A HOTEL.

I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD.

I WOULD YOU KNOW, TO HIS QUESTION, WHO'S GOING TO RUN THIS HOTEL? WHAT'S THE BRAND GOING TO DO? SO RIGHT NOW IT IS AN INDEPENDENT HOTEL.

THIS WAS ALSO DISCUSSED.

WE HAVE HAD INTEREST FROM A MAJOR BRAND ABOUT SOFT BRANDING IT.

SO IT WILL HAVE AN INDEPENDENT NAME ON IT THAT'S DETERMINED.

SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THIS AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN PUT A BEST WESTERN FLAG ON IT AND SAY, WELL, WE JUST TALKED TO BEST WESTERN AND IT'S GOOD TO GO.

IT WILL BE AN INDEPENDENT HOTEL, EITHER STRAIGHT INDEPENDENT OR IT WILL BE SOFT BRANDED AND BE IN A SYSTEM THAT WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO MARRIOTT.

CAN'T DO HYATT HERE BECAUSE THE AREA PROTECTION, BUT IT WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO MARRIOTT, HILTON, AN UPSCALE, UPPER UPSCALE SOFT BRAND, BUT WITH AN INDEPENDENT NAME TO IT AND A SIGNATURE TYPE PRODUCT.

YES. CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT A SOFT BRAND IS? YEAH. SO HOW THAT LOOKS WHEN YOU LOOK IT UP OR.

YEAH. SO WELL, OK, SO LIKE GRAPEVINE JUST DID THE VIN HOTEL.

THAT'S AN AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION HOTEL BY MARRIOTT.

SO THAT'S AN UPPER UPSCALE SOFT BRAND, THEY HAVE A SISTER BRAND UNDERNEATH THAT AND WHEN I SAY UNDERNEATH USUALLY SMALLER HOTELS CALLED TAPESTRY.

FOR HILTON, YOU WOULD HAVE [INAUDIBLE].

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATLER, THAT'S IT'S THE STATLER BY HILTON.

SO IT'S AN INDEPENDENT HOTEL, BUT IT'S A SOFT BRAND.

YOU SEE THE [INAUDIBLE] HOTELS, THOSE JUST TURNED INTO TAPESTRY COLLECTIONS.

WE DID WE DID HAVE EMBASSY ON THIS.

AND THE BRAND THAT WE'RE TALKING TO MIGHT BE IN THAT SAME AREA.

NOTHING IS SIGNED YET.

BUT WE DO FEEL EVEN THEN AS AN INDEPENDENT HOTEL, WE DO HAVE EXPERIENCE TO GO IN THERE AND OPERATE AS AN INDEPENDENT OF THE SALES AND MARKETING SEPARATE FROM BRAND AND DO IT.

BUT I WOULD SAY THAT IF A SOFT BRAND CAME INTO PLAY, IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE TWO OR THREE BRANDS TO PUT IT INTO A RESERVATION SYSTEM THAT MATCHES THE PROPERTY, WHICH WHICH WILL ALSO HELP AT THAT LOCATION, SO I HAVE A PROCESS QUESTION, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FOR THE APPLICANT OR THE DESIGNER.

SO, I MEAN, YOU GUYS OBVIOUSLY PUT IN A LOT OF WORK.

AND THIS IS NOT TO BE DISMISSIVE AT ALL OF THAT.

BUT I KNOW ON COMMERCIAL PROJECTS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A REGISTERED ARCHITECT INVOLVED TO STAMP THE PLANS, CORRECT? YES. SO WHEN DOES THAT HAPPEN? BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A DESIGN.

BUT TYPICALLY WHEN WE APPROVE THIS STUFF, THESE ARE ARCHITECT PLANS.

NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT. SO WE'VE BOTH WORKED IN THE ARCHITECTURAL FIELD FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. I UNDERSTAND. WE CAN'T CALL OURSELVES ARCHITECTS BECAUSE WE TOTALLY, TOTALLY GET IT. SO ONCE WE ONCE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PD AND THE REDESIGN AND THE ARCHITECT WILL GET INVOLVED AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS FLUSHED OUT, THE PLANS THAT ARE ON THERE ARE WE KIND OF DESIGNED AND PUT THE ROOMS TO IT AND SPACES IN CODE AND EVERYTHING. SO IT DOES IT'S AN EASY TRANSITION FORWARD.

SURE, BUT WE CAN'T PHYSICALLY STAMP THE DRAWINGS.

NO I GET THAT, I GUESS THAT'S MY CONCERN.

WE'RE BEING ASKED TO APPROVE PLANS THAT ARE NOT IN FINAL STAGE.

RIGHT. WELL.

WE STILL HAVE AN ARCHITECT THAT'S GOT TO STEP IN.

AND THAT'S STILL GOING TO STEP IN AND FINISH THE DRAWINGS.

YEAH. DIRECTOR BAKER, IS THAT IS THAT TYPICAL? WHAT IS I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE EVER SEEN.

MAYBE WE HAVE, BUT HAVE WE.

WE HAVE. WE HAVE. HOW DOES THAT PROCESS WORK? THE SITE PLAN HAS THAT YOU'RE SEEING THIS NIGHT HAS BEEN SEALED BY A REGISTERED ARCHITECT . YEAH. SO IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR PACKET YOU'LL SEE THE SEAL ON THERE.

SO IF THAT'S YOUR QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, WE WHEN YOU WHEN YOU APPROVE THOSE ELEVATIONS ARE WHAT WE CALL TECHNICAL ELEVATIONS. RIGHT.

[01:40:02]

OK, SO THAT SO THAT.

OUR PACKET DOES INCLUDE STAMPED PLANS TO THE EXTENT THAT [INAUDIBLE] THE SITE PLAN DOES HAVE A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, BUT THEY ARE SEALED.

I JUST LOOKED AT THEM.

BUT IF YOU GO THROUGH YOUR PACKET THAT SITE SITE PLAN IS STAMPED.

OK, BUT THESE PLANS STILL HAVE TO BE FINISHED BY, I GUESS A REGISTERED ARCHITECT.

YEAH, YOU NEED THAT. YOU NEED THE PE, THE MAPS, ALL THAT STUFF FINALIZED BEFORE YOU CAN RIGHT.

AND WHEN THEY SUBMIT THE BUILDING PLANS, OBVIOUSLY IT HAS TO BE PREPARED BY AN ARCHITECT.

RIGHT. SURE.

I JUST THERE'S A GAP THERE THAT I JUST.

BUT THAT I HAVE A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS.

I DON'T KNOW EITHER FROM YOU OR ALAN.

SO BUILDING MATERIALS, OBVIOUSLY, THE LEGISLATURE RESTRICTED OUR ABILITY TO HOLD THEM LEGALLY TO WHAT WE'RE BEING PRESENTED TONIGHT.

BUT HOW DO WE GET COMFORT THAT I MEAN, THIS IS REALLY NICE STUFF THAT WE'RE SEEING.

HOW DO WE GET COMFORT ONCE WE APPROVE THIS, THAT THIS IS WHAT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY GO ON THE BUILDING LEGALLY? WELL, IT'LL BE IT IS AN SP ZONING SP1 ZONING.

SO THE ELEVATIONS THAT YOU SEE THAT ARE PRESENTED THIS EVENING WILL BECOME PART OF THE ZONING. AND THIS IS OUR CORRIDOR OVERLAY.

SO WE BELIEVE THIS AREA HAS SOME ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE.

SO WE WILL BE YOU'LL BE REVIEWING THOSE MATERIALS.

AND IF THE SITE PLANS AND ZONING ARE APPROVED, THOSE MATERIALS WILL BE TIED TO THE ZONING. SO WHEN THEY COME IN WITH THEIR BUILDING PLANS, WHAT YOU APPROVE AS PART OF THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS HAS TO SHOW UP ON THE BUILDING PLANS.

AND SO THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE GOING TO USE THE SIMILAR MATERIALS PRESENTED.

SO SAME QUESTION ABOUT AMENITIES WE'RE BEING SHOWN, A LOT OF THINGS LIKE SUSHI BARS AND PATIOS AND FOUNTAINS AND ALL THIS.

SO I KNOW SOME LEVEL AT SOME LEVEL, THESE ARE VISUAL AIDS.

RIGHT. BUT TO WHAT EXTENT IS THIS STUFF GOING TO BE BAKED IN.

CAN WE MAKE IT INTO THE ZONING TO MAKE SURE WHAT WE'RE BEING SHOWN IS WHAT WE ACTUALLY GET? YES. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SP REGULATIONS, A LOT OF THAT IS DEFINED IN TERMS OF ROOM SIZES, A MINIMUM AMENITY SIZES, IN TERMS OF THE RESTAURANT, THE HOURS OF OPERATION.

SO THAT'LL BE CODIFIED IN THE ZONING DOCUMENT, ANYTHING.

IF APPROVED, YOU WANT TO ADD ON TO PROVIDE DETAILS.

THE COUNCIL DOES HAVE THAT OPTION TO DO THAT.

SO YOU CAN GET TO VERY GRANULAR DETAIL.

AND SOME OF OUR PREVIOUS SPS, WE'VE HAD SOME VERY EXTENSIVE MOTIONS THAT GO DOWN TO THAT GRANULAR DETAIL. SO YOU DO HAVE THAT OPTION.

IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE THE SP REGULATIONS COVER TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU WANT, YOU DO HAVE THAT OPTION. THANK YOU.

BUT TO THAT POINT, DIRECTOR BAKER, JUST TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WE CAN DO THAT, BUT FOR INSTANCE, SOMETHING AS SPECIFIC AS A SUSHI BAR.

I MEAN, WE CAN'T MANDATE THAT A HOTEL OPERATES A SUSHI BAR IN PERPETUITY FOREVER IN THAT SPOT. I MEAN, I WOULD SUSPECT THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU SHOULDN'T GO TO THAT DETAIL FROM A LAND USE AND IMPACT.

RESTAURANTS, A RESTAURANT IS A RESTAURANT.

SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE ABOUT THERE BEING A FOOD SERVICE AVAILABLE AS REPRESENTED.

WE HOPE IT'S A SUSHI BAR, BUT, YOU KNOW, FOREVER WE CAN'T MANDATE A SUSHI BAR.

WE CAN'T MANDATE A BARBECUE RESTAURANT ON THE THIRD FLOOR, YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE OF THING.

YEAH.

SO CAN WE CONFIRM THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE RESTAURANT AND BAR SQUARE FOOTAGE, TWO THOUSAND SQUARE FEET ENCOMPASSES THE SUSHI BAR AND ANY OTHER RESTAURANT AND OR WHATEVER IS UPSTAIRS? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT COLLECTIVELY OR HOW DO WE GET TO TWO THOUSAND SQUARE FEET? TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE DRAWINGS, I CAN'T CONFIRM THAT THAT IS IT.

BUT WHAT I DID IS I TOOK AN AREA SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SUSHI BAR AND THE RESTAURANT TO CALL THEM THE RESTAURANT SPACE, THE TWO THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.

THE BAR SHOULD BE ITS OWN SQUARE FOOTAGE ABOVE ON THE TOP.

OK, THANK YOU. AND THEN, MR. DEPALMA, CAN YOU VERIFY THAT TWELVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET OF MEETING SPACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR 70 PERCENT OF YOUR USE BEING INDEPENDENT TRAVEL.

BUSINESS TRAVEL.

YEAH, ESPECIALLY WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON WITH COVID RIGHT NOW.

LARGE, LARGE MEETING SPACE IS VERY DIFFICULT.

TWELVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET FOR WHEN YOU HAVE EIGHTY FOUR ROOMS DOING THE MATH IN MY HEAD.

BUT WE PROBABLY COULD PUT A HUNDRED PEOPLE THEATER STYLE INTO 12 HUNDRED SQUARE FEET.

YOU COULD PROBABLY DO FUNCTIONS OF 50 TO 70 LIKE IN ROUNDS.

SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE YOU KNOW, IN THE END IT'S NOT A BIG BANQUET SPACE.

IT'S GOING TO BE SMALL MEETING IS REALLY WHAT'S GOING TO SERVICE THAT MAYBE SMALL RECEPTION. WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THE OPERATOR, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS AND I'M PROBABLY SAYING MORE THEN THAT'S ON THE PLANS, BUT VERY HIGH TECH.

I'D LIKE TO SEE A LOT OF BREAK OUT, A LOT OF HIGH TECHNOLOGY.

SO WHEN YOU HAVE THESE SMALLER MEETINGS WITH, YOU KNOW, 50 TO 75 PEOPLE, YOU HAVE SOME

[01:45:06]

WE'LL BE ABLE TO CATER IT OUT OF THE RESTAURANT AND BRING BUSINESS IN THAT WAY.

YOU KNOW, SAME THING ON THE LEISURE SIDE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THAT SPACE WILL GET USED.

IT WILL PROBABLY BE SMALL FUNCTIONS.

AGAIN, WHEN I GOT MARRIED, THERE WAS ACTUALLY LIKE SEVENTY PEOPLE AT MY WEDDING DINNER.

SO IT'LL BE STUFF LIKE THAT THERE IS OVER IN ENTRADA THERE IS A YOU KNOW WEDDING CHAPEL AND STUFF LIKE THAT, THEY WILL HOST SOME OF THEIR OWN STUFF, BUT FOR SOME OF THEM SEVENTY FIVE PEOPLE THEY'RE GOING TO GET SWALLOWED UP OVER THERE.

SO THIS WILL BE A GREAT PLACE TO PROBABLY BE MARKET DOING YOUR RECEPTION OVER THERE, STAYING AT THAT PROPERTY AND GETTING MARRIED OVER ACROSS THE STREET.

AND THAT'S HOW ALL OF THIS STUFF IN THIS CORNER SHOULD REALLY PLAY TOGETHER.

THANK YOU.

SO I'M STILL SORRY, WRESTLING A LITTLE BIT WITH THE EXTERIOR ELEVATION, BUT AS I DROVE TO FRISCO TODAY TO GET MY SECOND COVID VACCINATION, I DO UNDERSTAND THAT WE'LL LOOK BACK AT THE TWENTY TWENTIES AND AND THIS IS THE ARCHITECTURE OF NOW.

RIGHT. SO I SAW IT A LOT ON THAT DRIVE.

YEAH, I DO FEEL LIKE I MEAN, AGAIN, FROM FROM THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION TO NOW THE INTERIOR IS WOW, THE EXTERIOR.

I LIKE IT BETTER.

IS IT I MEAN AGAIN, IT'S A PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

I STILL THINK IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN COLLEGE CAMPUSES LOOK TO IT. BUT SO MY QUESTION AROUND THAT IS, SINCE YOU'RE NOT A BRANDED HOTEL, HAVE YOU SEEN OR CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE, I GUESS, OF A BOUTIQUE HOTEL THAT'S A HIGH END HOTEL THAT HAS THIS ARCHITECTURAL EXTERIOR DESIGN? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? BECAUSE I'M WRESTLING WITH IT A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF THE OUTSIDE MATCHING THE INSIDE. I GUESS THAT'S IF I'M GOING TO BE HONEST.

IF YOU DON'T, THAT'S OK, I'M JUST CURIOUS, I'M GOING TO STAND UP HERE AND THINK ABOUT IT.

OK, YOUR QUESTIONS.

SOMETHING WILL POP INTO MY HEAD.

AND ALAN, I DON'T WANT I'M LOOKING I DON'T KNOW IF I'M ALLOWED TO ASK THIS QUESTION, SO I'M GOING TO ASK IT AND YOU CAN TELL ME IF I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO.

BUT SINCE YOU'RE NOT CURRENTLY BACKED BY A MAJOR HOTEL BRAND, IS I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN ASK ABOUT FUNDING. I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE THE FUNDING TO BUILD THIS OR HOW DOES IT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO, IS THAT OK TO ASK THAT QUESTION. IT IS.

OK. I THINK THE COUNCILWOMAN IS ASKING YOU ALL ARE COMFORTABLE THAT YOU HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO IMPLEMENT THIS AS DESIGNED.

I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T HEAR WHAT YOU. THE COUNCILWOMAN HAS ASKED, DO YOU ALL FEEL COMFORTABLE IN REPRESENTING TO COUNCIL THAT YOU HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES OR ARRANGEMENTS MADE TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING OF THIS DESIGN? CAN YOU GET IT FUNDED? YOU MEAN FUNDING LINED UP WITHOUT A BRAND, I WOULD SAY NO.

FUNDING CANNOT BE LINED UP WITHOUT A BRAND.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ON FINANCIAL RESOURCES, WE HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO BUILD THIS BUILDING, THERE'S TWO COMPONENTS OF IT.

AND CHAD'S LOOKING AT ME IS EQUITY AND DEBT, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE ALL THE EQUITY THAT WE'LL NEED FOR THIS PROJECT BASED ON WHAT THE CAPITAL MARKETS ARE TELLING US.

BUT CHAD WOULD NOT LEND ON THIS EITHER IF WE CAME IN AND SAID WE DON'T HAVE A FLAG, LEND US 15 MILLION DOLLARS, THEY WOULDN'T DO THAT.

SO WE HAVE TO BUILD THE FLAG AND THE BRAND FIRST BEFORE THAT.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? I THINK SO I'M GOING TO THINK ABOUT IT.

SO JUST AS A MATTER OF AGAIN PROCESS, WHAT IF YOU GUYS GET A FLAG ON THIS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THEIR OWN BRAND STANDARDS AND DESIGN STANDARDS, RIGHT? YES. SO THAT'S WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, SOFT BRANDING.

SO WHEN YOU HEAR A FLAG, YOU DEFINITELY GO RIGHT AWAY AND SAY, OK, IT'S A HILTON GARDEN, SPEC SPEC SPEC.

AND THEN SOME BRANDS, THEY MAY SAY IT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE THIS ON THE INSIDE.

IT CAN LOOK LIKE AC WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE, LIKE THE AC IN DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH CAN LOOK WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE ON THE OUTSIDE.

BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF REQUIREMENTS ON THE INSIDE.

SOFT BRANDING YOU HAVE A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY.

IT IS MORE OF AN INDEPENDENT FEEL.

RIGHT. BUT REALLY, THE BRAND IS BEING ON THE RESERVATION SYSTEM.

THAT'S THE SOFT BRANDING. SO ONCE AGAIN, EXAMPLES LIKE THAT IS THE GRAPEVINE HOTEL IS ACTUALLY A MARRIOTT HOTEL AND THE VIN IS A SOFT BRANDED HOTEL.

BUT YOU WOULD THINK IT'S AN INDEPENDENT HOTEL AND IT'S UNIQUE.

AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO, IS TO BRING THAT THAT UNIQUE ASPECT TO IT, SO EVEN SOFT BRANDS WILL HAVE SOME KIND OF DESIGN STANDARDS.

IS THAT HOW IT WORKS

[01:50:02]

SO FAR THIS IS FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE.

SO IF YOU WERE TAPESTRY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A THREE MILL RESTAURANT IN THE HOTEL.

SO LET'S SAY THIS.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS MANY ELEVATORS.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS LEVEL OF AMENITY IN THE HOTEL.

SO THERE ARE AMENITIES STANDARDS THAT THEY WANT TO SEE, BUT THERE'S NOT BRAND STANDARDS.

I'M PROBABLY GETTING IN THE WEEDS HERE, BRAND STANDARD SAYING THAT ALL OF YOUR BEDS NEED TO LOOK THE SAME. SO WHEN YOU GO INTO A COURTYARD, THE BED IS GOING TO LOOK THE SAME, LOOK THE SAME, LOOK THE SAME.

ON THIS ONE, WE GET TO SELECT WHAT THAT BED LOOKS LIKE.

SO IT'S A COMPLETELY UNIQUE AND I WOULD RECOMMEND GO ON TO LIKE LOOK UP TAPESTRY BY HILTON OR TRIBUTE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THEY'LL SHOW YOU ALL THEIR BRANDS.

EVERY HOTEL LOOKS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU GO SEE, BUT THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE.

THEY'RE ALL UPPER UPSCALE. [INAUDIBLE] AS THE INDUSTRY IS CONSOLIDATED, MANY OF THESE INDEPENDENT BRAND INDEPENDENT OPERATORS BASICALLY [INAUDIBLE].

THEY WERE YEAH, THEY WERE ADOPTED BY THESE CREATIVE CONCEPTS THAT ARE SIGNATURE OR SOFT BRANDED. AND SO THERE'S A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY.

I WOULDN'T I DON'T FIND THAT TO BE A CONCERN.

CANDIDLY, I PERSONALLY, I DON'T I WOULDN'T LET THAT HOLD ME UP FROM A DECISION MAKING PROCESS. AND IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT MIGHT CONCERN YOU, THAT WOULD FOR ME PERSONALLY, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HOLD ME UP THROUGH THINKING THROUGH THIS.

SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU AS WELL.

JUST YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION, NOT A QUESTION, YOU KNOW, THAT AFFECTS APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL. BUT AS I COUNT FROM KIMBALL AVENUE TO HERE, THIS SPACE, IF YOU INCLUDE THE MARRIOTT ACROSS THE STREET, I THINK WE HAVE SIX HOTELS. IF THIS IS APPROVED, SIX PROPERTIES IN LITERALLY A MILE JUST IN SOUTHLAKE.

YEAH. IF YOU INCLUDE THE MARRIOTT IS RIGHT THERE ON OUR BORDER.

DO YOU BELIEVE ALL OF SIX OF THESE HOTELS CAN BE SUCCESSFUL OR DO YOU BELIEVE IT'S MORE OF A SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION ONE OR TWO OF THEM MAY NOT BE.

OK. SO FOR A HOTEL, WE'RE DOING CAMBRIA, HILTON DELTA, WESTIN.

WESTIN. YOURS AND THE MARRIOTT.

NEXT DOOR. THE MARRIOTT ACROSS THE [INAUDIBLE].

YEAH. SO IT'S WEIRD TO SAY THIS BECAUSE THE DISTANCE IS NOT FAR, BUT REALLY THAT END IS GOING TO I MEAN, WE ARE GOING TO VERY MUCH CATER TO [INAUDIBLE] TO ENTRADA, TO CHARLES SCHWAB, TO THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON OUT THERE MORE THAN I WOULD THINK CAMBRIA, MORE TOWN CENTER AND AIRPORT, ALMOST THE SAME THING WITH THE HILTON.

TO ME, WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY PUT A LOT OF BUSINESS OVER IN DELOITTE.

WE'LL HAVE THE VANS GOING OVER TO THAT DELOITTE AREA, BUT IT REALLY GETS SPLIT UP AND WITH CHARLES SCHWAB. IT IS GOING TO BE A DEMAND GENERATOR AND THERE'S MORE THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING INTO THERE. SO I GET IT.

YEAH, YOU'RE PROPERTY.

I GET WHAT YOUR PLAN IS. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS PROFESSIONALLY, DO YOU FEEL LIKE TRULY SIX HOTELS HERE CAN SUCCEED? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

100 PERCENT. YEAH.

I MEAN, THIS IS GOING TO BE THIS CORRIDOR IS GOING TO REALLY IS GOING TO BOOM AND THERE'S GOING TO BE ENOUGH BUSINESS THERE. I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

OK, NOW THAT WE BUILT YOUR HOTEL FOR YOU AND I WILL SAY THIS.

I'VE STAYED AT A HOTEL INDIGO, THAT LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE THIS.

SO THAT'S PROBABLY THE CLOSEST I WANT TO SAY IN SAN FRANCISCO.

BUT I WANT TO SAY THAT'S THE NEW KIND OF A LOOK AND FEEL OF THE MORE MODERN.

AND THAT'S KIND OF A BIT MORE OF A BOUTIQUE HOTEL, DEPENDING ON WHAT CITIES IT'S LOCATED IN. OK, SO LET'S LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN, BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SITE PLAN? I THINK THEY'VE COME BACK WITH A REALLY, REALLY NICE PLAN.

WE'VE GOT A FULL SERVICE HOTEL, WHICH IS WHAT WE WANTED.

WE HAVE OUR TREES.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A CONCRETE JUNGLE.

SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE SITE PLAN AS FAR AS THE CONCEPT PLAN I STILL HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS FOR THREE YEARS. I STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH THE THE TOPOGRAPHY LOSS AND THE TREE PRESERVATION IS WAY DOWN.

IT'S BETTER THAN WHAT WE SAW LAST TIME.

WELL, SINCE THIS IS SUCH A PROMINENT PIECE OF PROPERTY, AS YOU COME INTO SOUTHLAKE, YOU WANT TO BE PROTECTIVE OF IT.

AND YOU ALL HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT QUESTIONS.

I'VE TRIED TO LISTEN, TO HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AND MAYBE I COULD GET PAST MY HANG UPS WITH WHAT THEY'VE DONE WITH THIS SITE AND LEVELING IT AND BULLDOZING IT.

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF STILL UNANSWERED QUESTIONS FOR ME TO GET PAST MY HANG UP WITH THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM OF THE TOPOGRAPHY AND TREE PRESERVATION ISSUES.

SO I'LL BE VOTING NO ON THIS TONIGHT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE HAD A REAL GOOD DISCUSSION ON IT THIS EVENING.

OK, ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS? I JUST, I GUESS A QUESTION FOR DIRECTOR BAKER WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS PREVIOUSLY,

[01:55:02]

IT'S NOW BEEN CHANGED TO BASICALLY THE RETAIL, PERSONAL SERVICE AND OFFICES.

SO IN THEORY, WE COULD HAVE THREE OFFICE BUILDINGS WRAPPED AROUND THIS HOTEL.

THE WAY IT'S PROPOSED.

YES SIR.

OK, WELL, IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND HAVE A MOTION AND SEE HOW IT GOES? THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING.

MAYOR.

CAN I JUST ASK ONE QUESTION THAT BE.

SURE. OF COURSE. IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A MOTION WITH THE POTENTIAL OF IT PASSING TO SECOND READING.

I JUST WANT MAKE SURE IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR ANY ITEMS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT MOTION FOR WORK TO BE DONE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING? IF NOT, THAT'S FINE, BUT I JUST WANT TO RAISE THAT POINT.

WELL, I MEAN, I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN PRETTY LOUD AND CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU WANTED TONIGHT. I THINK I'M GUESSING FOR COUNCIL MEMBER PATTON.

COUNCIL MEMBER PATTON AND JUST MAKING THE POINT ABOUT THE RETAIL BEING RATHER THAN RESTAURANT, NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT RETAIL.

SO THAT'S A NEW ISSUE WE CAN PUT.

I MEAN, ARE YOU OK WITH THAT OR IS THAT THAT I'M NOT.

YOU'RE NOT. WE'VE BEEN WRITING THIS.

IF WE ARE GOING TO WRITE IT AS RESTAURANT NOW, IT'S COMING IN THAT WE COULD BE SITTING HERE WITH OFFICE SPACE.

AND SO, YEAH, WHAT I WAS MORE FOND OF WAS THIS CONCEPT WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD KIND OF MEANDER IN THAT OUTDOOR SPACE BETWEEN THE RESTAURANTS KIND OF HAVE A KIND OF A NICE EXPERIENCE THERE.

ENJOYING THE TOPOGRAPHY LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER MCCASKILL'S REFERRING TO.

I'M STUCK BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SO MANY CONCEPTS AND WE'VE CERTAINLY MADE PROGRESS.

I'M IN FAVOR OF THE BOUTIQUE CONCEPT.

I REALLY AM. I'M NOT CONFIDENT THAT IT WORKS, YOU KNOW, TO RANDY'S CONCERN ABOUT CANNIBALISM. THAT'S WHAT FEASIBILITY STUDIES HELP YOU TEASE OUT.

THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING FOR THEM.

THAT'S WHAT I DON'T KNOW THAT YET.

AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT BETTER.

I WOULD HATE TO SEE ONE OF OUR HOTELS GO DARK BECAUSE THIS THING'S BUILT UP TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE CASE OR NOT.

YOU KNOW, I WOULD HATE TO SEE OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE WEST END UP WITH THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT, TOO, AND WE LOSE OUT ON THE BENEFITS OF THE BEST USE FOR THE SPACE.

IT IS A PROMINENT CORNER AND I LIKE A MASTER PLAN CONCEPT THAT WE CAN SINK OUR TEETH INTO AND KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET AS OPPOSED TO NOT SURE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT RIGHT NOW THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD IS THE HOTEL AND THEN THEY CAN KIND OF DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH THESE OTHER THREE BUILDINGS. THAT'S CONCERNING.

OK, GOOD POINT.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU OR ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE DEVELOPER TO GET SOME MORE CLARITY? I MEAN, WE'RE YOU KNOW, YOU'RE FINE IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD.

I'M SORRY, SIR.

WELL I WAS GOING TO ASK.

MAYBE YOU CAN EXPLAIN THE CHANGE, WHY YOU WANTED TO GO FROM RESTAURANT TO RETAIL AND OFFICE. THE CHANGE WAS MADE AS A FUNCTION OF A REACTION TO MARKET FORCES.

WE HAVE A LOT OF.

HOW SHOULD I PUT THIS KIND OF MARKET KIND OF FAMILY OFFICES AND THERE'S A WANTED OFFICE SPACE IN THE HOTEL THEY LIKE TO SEE THE HOTEL KIND OF LIKE A PRESTON CENTER EFFECT.

THEY WANT AN OFFICE NEXT TO A HOTEL WERE THEY CAN GO OVER AND HAVE DRINKS TO ENTERTAIN CLIENTS SO THAT USE GOT WEAVED INTO IT.

I CAN TELL YOU, THOUGH, IT IS A CHANGE.

IT'S A BIT OF A SURPRISE.

WE FEEL ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT WE CAN FILL THE PLACE OUT WITH RESTAURANTS.

SO IF YOU WANT TO DIAL THAT BACK TO JUST RESTAURANT ONLY, OF COURSE, NO DRIVE IN.

THAT'S NOT EVEN A CONSIDERATION.

WE HAVE NO PROBLEM INCLUDING THAT INTO THE ZONING RETAKE THE RETAIL AND OFFICE OUT OF THE THE USE CATEGORIES.

YEAH, OK. THAT WAS A SURPRISE.

YEAH, PROBABLY NOT A GOOD SURPRISE.

OK, WELL WE CAN DO THAT.

AND THEN I THINK IT COMES BACK TO THAT, THE HOTEL.

WE HAVE TO YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THE LANDOWNERS, THEY'RE MAKING THE BUSINESS DECISION.

IT'S LIKE HAVING 15 GYMS. IT'S NOT OUR CALL.

SO WHILE WE WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE KNOWING THE NUMBERS, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE HERE

[02:00:04]

SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE DEVELOPER? OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE, WELL, MAYBE IT'S THE FAN.

SO I KNOW WE HAD THIS QUESTION WAY BACK WHEN I FIRST GOT ON COUNCIL ABOUT THE TOPOGRAPHY AND AS I'M SURE EVERYBODY, I LOVE THIS SPOT.

IT EVERY TIME I GET OFF THAT EXIT, IT'S ONE OF THOSE I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT'S THERE.

YOUR IDEA IS THAT IT'S JUST FLATTENING, YET IT'S NOT USING THE TOPOGRAPHY.

I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THIS SOUNDING WEIRD.

NOT USING THE NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY TO ACCENT THE SPACE.

YES, WE'VE SEEN MULTIPLE PROPOSALS OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS AND WE HAVE SUGGESTED AT CORRIDOR COMMITTEE AND HERE AND I THINK PLANNING AND ZONING HAS AS WELL, AND THEY DENIED THIS A FEW WEEKS AGO TO INCORPORATE THE NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY WITH MORE RETAINING WALLS TO KEEP SOME MORE OF THOSE TREES.

AND WE SAW FROM A PREVIOUS DEVELOPER A PLAN THAT KEPT A LOT MORE OF THE TOPOGRAPHY WITH SORT OF A PLATEAU WITH THE RESTAURANTS AND PATIO IN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE RESTAURANTS AND THE HOTEL. AND THAT WAS SOMETHING I WAS INTERESTED IN AND THOUGHT WAS A GOOD EFFORT AT MAINTAINING THAT TYPOGRAPHY AND THE TREE PRESERVATION.

SO THAT'S MY HANG UP WITH THIS.

AND AND ALONG WITH THE OTHER UNANSWERED QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE TONIGHT.

IT FEELS LIKE TO EVERYONE, I'M SURE WE'RE GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THE SAME QUESTIONS ABOUT RESTAURANT SPACE, EITHER TOO BIG, SINGULAR.

NOW WE'RE BACK TO OFFICE, WHICH I CAN SENSE COUNCILMAN PATTON'S SQUEAMISHNESS ABOUT.

AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.

I WOULD MUCH RATHER THIS BE RESTAURANT, BECAUSE TO CHAD'S POINT, I CAN IMAGINE PEOPLE MEANDERING ABOUT AND USING THAT SPACE AND MOVING BETWEEN THE TWO.

BUT I CERTAINLY FEEL WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ENVISION THIS IN YOUR MIND'S EYE THAT THIS SPACE HAS THIS BEAUTIFUL HOTEL, BUT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY DOES NOT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE IT DOES NOW.

AND I'D HATE FOR THAT TO BE LIKE SOMETHING THAT'S JUST CLEARCUT WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH THIS ARTIFICIAL SETTING. SO IT FEELS LIKE IT'S OVER INDEXED ON THE HOTEL, BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYTHING AROUND IT.

BECAUSE, I MEAN, THE HOTELS REALLY HAS SOME PANACHE TO THIS POINT.

IT FEELS LIKE NILO AND CERTAINLY YOUR POINT, MAYOR HILL ABOUT THE INDIGO.

AND, YOU KNOW, I HAVE NO QUALMS WITH THE HOTEL ITSELF.

IT'S IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE WE'RE GOING AROUND AND NOT HAVING THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING NOT BE ANSWERED.

DID SOMEONE ELSE WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? THANK YOU FOR THAT. THIS DOES SHOW TWO DIMENSIONALLY AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT'S A SAFEWAY PARKING LOT ON THIS DRAWING, THESE GUYS WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.

WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND A LOT OF MONEY ON RETAINING WALLS AS A FUNCTION OF WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE TOLD US IN THE PAST.

AND WE WANT TO KEEP THE SITE JUST LIKE IT IS TO AND KIND OF PUT THESE POCKETS OF BUILDINGS WITHIN THE TREES AND MAKE IT VERY SPECIAL.

SO, DAVID, WHY DO WE NOT SEE NOT CUT YOU OFF? WHY DON'T WE SEE THAT HERE? WELL, I THINK YOU DO SEE THAT.

I SAW IT IN THE VIDEO.

YOU HAD ALL THE STEPS AND STAIRS ALL OVER THE PLACE BUILDING UP.

I MEAN, I'M I DON'T I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM BECAUSE I FELT LIKE WHEN WE WATCHED THE VIDEO, THE SITE LOOKED COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

RIGHT.

THEN WHAT WE WERE TOLD. THAT'S WHY WE PRODUCED THE VIDEO.

THAT WAS A COMMENT LAST TIME, I BELIEVE, WHICH WAS.

WELL THE STAFF REPORT SHOWS 14 PERCENT TREE PRESERVATION, ONE FOR 14 PERCENT.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

RIGHT.

YEAH, THE TREES ARE GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.

HE'S OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.

SURE. HE'S HE'S DESIGNED QUITE A FEW BUILDINGS HERE IN SOUTHLAKE AND HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE HERE. MY NAME'S BRIAN ADAMS, I'M WITH SMR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS IN DALLAS, TEXAS, 1708 NORTH GRIFFIN STREET.

I JUST WANT TO SPEAK AND WE CAN WORK WITH THE CIVIL ENGINEER A LITTLE BIT MORE TO SAVE SOME MORE TREES. BUT ONE THING THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING TREES.

YEAH RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE SITE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE FIRE LANES AND EVERYTHING, WE'RE DEALING WITH A LOT OF THE TREES THAT WE PRESERVE ARE UNDERNEATH THE HOTEL BUILDING AND THEN THE FINISHED FLOORS AND YOU SEE THE RETAINING WALL ON THE WEST SIDE AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY PROPOSING IN ORDER TO RAISE THE GRADE UP ON THE SITE FOR THE TWO

[02:05:04]

I THINK ONCE THE PHASE TWO PORTION COMES IN THE TWO DIFFERENT RESTAURANT PADS, WE CAN LOOK AT THAT CORRIDOR IN BETWEEN TO SAVE SOME ADDITIONAL TREES THERE.

CIVIL ENGINEER DID GRADE SOME ADDITIONAL WALLS AND THE SOUTHERN GREEN SPACE AND IN THE MIDDLE CORRIDOR THERE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE IN THE PAST.

SO WE GOT TO DEFINITELY AND OPEN A LITTLE BIT MORE TREE PRESERVATION THAT WERE OCCURRING IN THAT ZONE.

SO IF YOU SEE KIND OF WHERE THE POCKETS OF THE RED ARE, IT'S REALLY HITTING WITHIN OUR FIRE LANES AND OUR PARKING LOT.

SO I THINK WE CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE AREAS.

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PICK UP A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE GRADING SIDE OF THINGS.

BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT SAVING POST OAKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND DEEP TREE WELLS DON'T TYPICALLY SURVIVE OVER TIME.

WE'RE TRYING TO PRESERVE WHAT WE CAN OVER THE LONG TERM AND NOT TRY TO FORCE THE ISSUES AT THIS TIME. YEAH.

IT'S UNFORTUNATELY ALMOST AN UNBUILDABLE LOT IF YOU TRY TO SAVE THE TREES BECAUSE THE TREES ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

YES. ONE ADDITIONAL THING, THE PEOPLE AT THE LANDSCAPE PLANNING END, OUR PHASE ONE DRAWINGS THAT WE SUBMITTED FOR THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL, THEY DO HAVE THOSE THE PHASE ONE LANDSCAPE.

I KNOW YOU'VE GOT THE PHASE ONE CIVIL DRAWINGS IN THERE.

AS PART OF THIS OUR SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL FOR PHASE ONE FOR THE HOTEL WE'RE ACTUALLY COMMITTING TO DO ALL THE STREET TREES ALONG 114 AND MAJORITY OF THE TREES SOUTH OF THE TWO RESTAURANT PADS.

AGAIN, WE'RE PRESERVING ALL THE TREES ON KIRKWOOD.

SO THE MAJORITY OF THE PERIMETER TREES ARE GOING TO GET INSTALLED WITH THE HOTEL SITE AND WE'LL HOLD OFF ON ANY PARKING LOT SCREENING BECAUSE WE'RE NOT INSTALLING THE PARKING UNDER THE PHASE ONE.

SO, YOU KNOW, ONE THING WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING ON DAY ONE WITH THE HOTEL IS ADDITIONAL VEGETATION AND TREES ALONG THE 114 FRONTAGE THAT WILL ACTUALLY HAVE TIME TO MATURE AND GROW PRIOR TO THE NEXT PHASE OF THE RESTAURANT PADS COMING IN.

SO I JUST YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT JUST GOING TO DO THE HOTEL PAD, WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING SOME OF THE PERIMETER LANDSCAPE WORK AS PART OF THIS PHASE ONE SCOPE.

AND THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY FOR THEIR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.

OK. SO DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TRY TO HAVE A MOTION, I MEAN, SHAWN, YOU'RE NOT SUPPORTING THIS, SO SHOULD WE HAVE YOU? I CAN DO A MOTION TO DENY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE CAN DO A MOTION TO APPROVE. IF IT DOESN'T, IF MY MOTION TO DENY DOES NOT CARRY OR DO YOU WANT TO DO IT THE OTHER WAY? WELL, HE CAN VOTE ANYWAY.

AMY, CAN HE JUST DO A MOTION TO APPROVE AND THEN HE CAN VOTE AGAINST IT IF HE WANTS TO? LET'S JUST DO THAT.

I STILL WANT TO DO THE MOTION TO DENY, THOUGH.

I'M NOT GOING TO.

OK, WHAT'S THE POINT OF THAT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

MAYBE JOHN CAN MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE IT IF THAT'S WHAT HE CHOOSES AND.

BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO ADD IN THE MOTION TO APPROVE? ARE WE GOING TO ADD BACK THE RESTAURANTS? YES, THE MOTION TO APPROVE WOULD INCLUDE THE RESTAURANTS RATHER THAN THE RETAIL OFFICE OR OFFICE SPACE. SO DOES JOHN HAVE THE NOTES TO DO A MOTION OR SOMEONE ELSE? BUT YEAH, I DO, BUT I'M NOT THERE ON THIS EITHER, SO.

OK, OK, IF WE'RE GOING TO IF THERE MAY BE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT VOTE NO THEN SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO A MOTION TO DENY IT AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO DENY ITEM 7A ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-740.

CASE NUMBER ZA 18-006.

MOTION TO DENY.

OK, IS THERE A SECOND? OK. CAST YOUR VOTE. AND YES IS TO DENY.

OK. AND SO IT'S DENIED FOUR TO THREE, SO THE MOTION DOESN'T PASS.

SO YOU CAN COME BACK AND SEE US AGAIN.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND THEN THAT'S IT FOR TONIGHT, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE MOVED YOUR ITEM.

OK.
