AGAIN, THIS MEETING WILL BE A BROADCAST LIVE THROUGH THE CITY VIDEO-ON-DEMAND SYSTEM, ACCESS TO THE CITY'S MAIN WEBSITE, CITYOFSOUTHLAKE.COM.
LET'S BEGIN WITH THE PRESENTATIONS.
DAVID CUNNINGHAM IS HERE TO PRESENT THE FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING,
[2. SPIN2021-34 - An applicant is proposing to develop an approximately 150,000 sq. ft. office building (Granite Place Phase 2) on approximately 2.3 acres located at 550 Reserve St. within SPIN Neighborhood #7.]
WHICH IS SPIN 2021-34.THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP APPROXIMATELY 150,000 SQUARE FEET OFFICE BUILDING, GRANITE PLACE PHASE TWO, ON APPROXIMATELY 2.3 ACRES LOCATED AT 550 RESERVE STREET. DAVID.
>> YES, I DO. [NOISE] [BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER]
>> ALL RIGHT. HELLO. MY NAME IS DAVID CUNNINGHAM, AND I'M THE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT FOR GRANITE PROPERTIES.
I RESIDE AT 1701 GRASS COURT IN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.
I'M PRESENTING TO YOU THE PHASE TWO BUILDING OF OUR MASTER PLAN PROJECT, THAT WE BROUGHT ORIGINALLY TO COUNSEL IN 2015.
WE STARTED CONSTRUCTION ON THE PHASE ONE BUILDING, WHICH IS THE BUILDING ON THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN, IT'S A SIX STORY BUILDING, 160,000 RENTABLE SQUARE FEET.
[NOISE] THAT BUILDING CONSTRUCTION STARTED LATE DECEMBER OF 2015 AND DELIVERED IN JANUARY OF 2017.
THEN WE WENT ON OUR LEASE UP, WHICH NORMALLY TAKES ABOUT TWO YEARS.
WE LEASE THAT BILLING AND THEN AS WE WERE PREPARING TO BRING PHASE TWO TO THE CITY IN EARLY 2020, SOMETHING HAPPENED [LAUGHTER] AND WE LOST TWO YEARS.
WE'RE PICKING UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF IN JANUARY OF 2020.
THE SECOND PHASE IS THE BUILDING. IT'S ON THE LEFT.
IT'S PART OF THE ORIGINAL MASTER PLAN.
I WILL POINT OUT THAT THE ORIGINAL MASTER PLAN WAS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.
WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT BUILD AS BIG OF AN EIGHT STORY BUILDING OR AS TALL AS AN EIGHT STORY BUILDING, AND AS MUCH AS A 175,000 FEET.
WE'VE DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS.
ONE, WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH VARIANCE FOR THE ADDITIONAL HEIGHT.
WE ALSO COULDN'T PARK IT SUFFICIENTLY.
WE WERE ABLE TO RIGHT SIZE OF THE BUILDING ON THE SITE AND PARK
[00:05:05]
IT AT OUR REQUIRED PARKING RATIO SO THAT IT'S SELF-CONTAINED WITHIN THE SITE.THE BUILDING WILL BE AND I WOULDN'T CALL IT A MATCH.
BUT ALL THE MATERIALS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING ARE THE SAME PALETTE AND MATERIALS, SAME MASONRY, SAME STONE, SAME ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE, SAME COLORED GLASS, LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS OF THE ACTUAL FORM OF THE BUILDING.
OF COURSE, THE BUILDING IS FIVE STORIES TALL INSTEAD OF SIX STORIES.
THE FIRST BUILDING WAS 94 FEET TALL AND THIS BUILDING'S ABOUT 75, 76 FEET TALL, SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALLER IN SCALE.
THE BUILDING IS ACTUALLY 23 PERCENT SMALLER THAN WHAT WAS APPROVED ON THE MASTER PLAN TO BEGIN WITH.
THIS IS REALLY A BY RIGHT APPLICATION.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE ARE ANY VARIANCES.
THERE MIGHT BE ONE SMALL VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR ONE LOADING STATION, WHICH IS THE SAME VARIANCE THAT WE HAD ON PHASE ONE.
BUILDINGS OF THIS SIZE REALLY DON'T REQUIRE TWO LOADING STATIONS.
WE HAD THE SAME EXACT VARIANCE ON PHASE ONE AS THIS VARIANCE FOR THE SINGLE LOADING STATION.
AS I MENTIONED, THE BUILDING IS 142,000 RENTABLE SQUARE FOOT, THAT'S ABOUT 150,000 GROSS SQUARE FOOT.
[NOISE] IT'S A CLASS A BUILDING, JUST AS IS THE FIRST BUILDING.
WE'RE ADDING 265 CAR PARKING GARAGE AND THEN WE'RE ADDING 50 STREET PARKS.
THE ONE THING I WOULD DO, WANT TO MAKE NOTE OF IS THAT THE GREEN SPACE AND THE RETAINED LANDSCAPED AREA IS 50 PERCENT OF THE SITE.
THE MASTER PLAN OF THIS PROJECT ALL ALONG CALLED FOR A LARGE GREEN SPACE IN-BETWEEN THE BUILDING, THE SECOND BUILDING, AND THE ORIGINAL GARAGE.
WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO GET THIS DONE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO REALLY LET US FILL OUT THAT BLOCK AND COMPLETE IT.
THE BUILDING, AS I SAID, IT SITS AT THE CORNER OF STATE AND DIVISION.
IT WILL MAKE A NICE PRESENTATION TOWARD THE FIRE AND POLICE STATION BUILDING.
BE A HEAVILY LANDSCAPED CORNER.
IN ADDITION TO THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S HAPPENING ON-SITE, WERE DOING SOME OFFSITE DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.
WE'LL BE BUILDING A SIDEWALK, THAT YOU'LL SEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE IMAGE.
THAT'S DIVISION, THAT'S ALONG THE PARK, AND WE'LL BE ADDING STRAYS ALONG THAT STREET, AS WELL AS SOME STREET PARKING.
THE ONE THING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS BUILDING IS THAT, WE ARE COMPLETING THE SITE AND IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE APPARENT THE SECOND WHEN I GET TO THE SITE PLAN.
BUT WHEN I SAY COMPLETE DECIDE I MEAN COMPLETE THE COMMUNICATION, THE PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS, ALL OF THE SITE WORK, ALL OF THE LANDSCAPING, AND IT'LL CONNECT THIS BLOCK.
WE ARE ALSO CREATING NOT ONLY A HEAVILY LANDSCAPE SECOND PHASE, BUT IT'LL BE A USABLE SECOND PHASE.
THE SPACE IN-BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS WE CONSIDER AN OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM.
IT WILL BE OCCUPIED WITH OUTDOOR MEETING SPACES.
ONE THING ABOUT COVID THAT WE'VE LEARNED IS THAT OUR CUSTOMERS, SOME PEOPLE CALL THEM TENANTS, WE CALL THEM CUSTOMERS, THEY LOOK FOR BUILDINGS THAT HAVE OUTDOOR MEETING SPACES.
WE'RE GOING TO BE CREATING AN OUTDOOR MEETING SPACE.
THAT SPACE IS GENERALLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
IT'S NOT CLOSED, IT'S NOT LOCKED.
WE REALLY INVITE ANYBODY THAT'S WALKING THROUGH TOWN SQUARE, WALKING THROUGH THIS AREA, TO TAKE PART IN THAT EXPERIENCE.
IT'LL BE HIGHLY FINISHED IN TERMS OF PAVERS AND WHATNOT. THE SITE PLAN.
THE BUILDING THAT'S ON YOUR RIGHT, THAT IS THE PHASE ONE BUILDING.
THE SMALL BUILDING THAT'S BOTTOM-RIGHT, THAT'S A RESTAURANT THAT COOPER CANTONESE IS PLANNING TO BUILD.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY TALKING WITH A TENANT FOR THAT BUILDING NOW, ABOUT A 5,500 SQUARE FOOT HIGH-END RESTAURANT.
I HOPE FRANK IS SUCCESSFUL IN DELIVERING THAT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THE MENU FOR THAT RESTAURANT, IT WILL BE A PLACE THAT WE WOULD FREQUENT OFTEN.
IT'S A VENUE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE NOW REPRESENTED IN TOWN SQUARE.
THE BUILDING IS ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER, IT'S CONCEIVED ACTUALLY AS A SMALL COMMERCIAL BUILDING.
COOPER COMPANY IS ALSO TALKING TO A USER FOR THAT BUILDING AS WELL.
THE BUILDING IS IN THE MIDDLE, THE BIG WHITE SQUARE, IS THE GARAGE,
[00:10:02]
SO REALLY THE TOP 2/3 OF THAT SQUARE ARE THE EXISTING GARAGE.WE'RE ADDING THE REMAINDER OF THAT GARAGE, WHICH IS THE BOTTOM THIRD, WHICH ADDS THE 265 SPACES.
THEN OF COURSE, THE BUILDING ON THE BOTTOM IS THE FOOTPRINT OF THE OFFICE BUILDING.
THEN YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE GREEN SPACE.
IT'S IN-BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS AND AROUND THE SITE.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT WE ARE CONNECTING ALL THE SIDEWALKS ALL THE WAY THROUGH FROM THE HIGHWAY 14 FRONTAGE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PROPERTY, PAST THE BUILDING THAT WOULD BE FRANK'S COMMERCIAL BUILDING, WOULD BE BUILDING OUT THE PARKING SPOTS ALONG STATE STREET, WE'LL BE BUILDING THE SIDEWALK ALONG DIVISION ON BOTH SIDES OF DIVISION WITH TREE STREETS.
WE'LL MAKE THIS CORNER WALKABLE.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IF YOU WALK OVER INTO THE SPACE, THE ONLY PLACES YOU COULD WALK IS DOWN THE STREET AND SO CREATING THE SIDEWALKS, WILL TIE THAT CORNER TOGETHER.
WE'LL ALSO BE FINISHING ALL THE CROSSWALKS IN THIS AREA, CONNECTING OUR OFFICE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE RETAIL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S TO THE WEST.
IT WILL ALSO CONNECT IT TO THE PLACE IN FIRE STATION.
THEN ACROSS IT, IT WILL CONNECT THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE HILTON HOTEL, BACK TO OUR SITE AS WELL. I THINK THAT PRETTY MUCH COVERS THE SITE DEVELOPMENT.
JUST A FEW MORE IMAGES OF THE AREA IN BETWEEN THE BILLING AND THE GARAGE.
THE PAVILIONS YOU SEE IN THE BACKGROUND ARE THE OUTDOOR MEETING ROOMS THAT WE'LL BE BUILDING.
A LONG SHOT OF THAT GREEN SPACE IN BETWEEN THE GARAGE AND THE OFFICE BUILDING.
YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN SPACE, AND THAT ONE THING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS.
IF YOU DRIVE OVER YOU LOOK AT THE SOUTH SIDE OF OUR GARAGE NOW, IT'S NOT PRETTY.
THE REASON WHY IT'S NOT PRETTY IS BECAUSE THAT'S AN INSIDE WALL OF THE GARAGE.
IT'S ACTUALLY AN UNFINISHED STRUCTURAL WALL.
WHEN WE BUILD THE REST OF THIS GARAGE, IT WILL BE FINISHED ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH THE MASONRY AND THE ALUMINUM WINDOW EFFECTS SO THAT THAT GARAGE WILL BE A COMPLETELY FINISHED GARAGE ALL THE WAY AROUND.
AS I'VE MENTIONED TO YOU BEFORE, WE WILL BE ADDING ABOUT 265 SPACES, THAT WILL PUT ABOUT 800 SPACES IN THE GARAGE.
ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE, I THINK, IS THAT THE GARAGE IS UTILIZED BY THE COMMUNITY AFTER HOURS AND IT'S UTILIZED BY THE COMMUNITY ON WEEKENDS.
IT'S UTILIZED FOR ART AND SQUARE, IT'S UTILIZED FOR FIREWORK SHOWS, IT'S UTILIZED HEAVILY DURING THE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SEASON AFTER HOURS FOR CERTAIN.
I'M TOLD IT'S ALSO A GO TO LOCATION FOR PEOPLE LOOKING TO PUT THEIR CARS TO PROTECT THEM FROM HAIL STORMS WHEN THOSE TIMES COME.
OF COURSE, ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS ARE WELCOME FOR THAT USE.
THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP MY PRESENTATION.
I DO LIKE TO FINISH WITH OUR COMPANY, OUR PASSIONS TO LEAD WITH INTEGRITY.
WE'RE DEDICATED TO SERVE, TO DRIVE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND A CONSTANT PURSUIT OF IMPROVEMENT.
>> ANY QUESTIONS? YOU [OVERLAPPING] TO COME UP TO THE SPEAKER PLEASE, THANK YOU.
>> HI. MY NAME'S HENRY HUBBLE.
>> WE HAVE HAD DRAINAGE ISSUES FROM THE TOWN SQUARE THEY COME OVER THROUGH GATEWAY AND THEN TO OUR PROPERTIES.
WILL THIS BE DRAINING THROUGH THAT SAME DRAINAGE WAY, DO YOU KNOW?
>> YES, THERE'S THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT.
THERE WAS A STORM MAIN THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE.
ACTUALLY THERE WAS A STORM DRAINAGE DITCH THAT WE BASICALLY PUT A STORM MAIN INTO, AND THAT STORM MAIN DRAINS THE POND THAT'S IN THE PARK.
IT DRAINS IT THROUGH THE CISTERN THAT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE EXISTING GARAGE UNDER 114 AND THEN THAT GOES DOWN STREAM THROUGH THE POND SYSTEMS THAT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 114.
>> I ALWAYS BRING IT UP BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL ADD SOME ADDITIONAL WATER FLOW AND IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I'M JUST TRYING TO GET ENOUGH ATTENTION ON THAT WE ADDRESS BECAUSE BASICALLY IT'S BEEN ENGINEERED ALL THE WAY UP TO KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD AND THE CAPACITY THAT'S THERE FOR WATER RETENTION.
BUT THEN BEYOND THAT IT REALLY HASN'T BEEN ENGINEERED.
>> YEAH. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD WHEN IT COMES BACK THROUGH.
[00:15:02]
THAT AREA IS JUST ERODING AWAY.IT'S TRYING TO GET THE ATTENTION TO SAY, HEY, WE'D NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
>> ALL THE WATER FOR THE SITES ARE RETAINED ONSITE AND THEN DRAINED OUT AT A CONTROLLED FLOW.
>> YES. I GUESS FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE IT ENDS UP BEING ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.
IF IT'S ENGINEERED, WE DON'T HAVE ANY EROSION ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD, BUT IT'S AFTER THAT BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN ENGINEERED THERE STILL IS ADDITIONAL FLOW AND AS YOU KNOW, EROSION IS BASICALLY THE TIME AND THE VOLUME.
SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN DELAYED SOME IT STILL ALL FLOWS THROUGH AND CAUSES THE ADDITIONAL EROSION SO [OVERLAPPING] ANYWAY, JUST BRING IT UP.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION.
>> THE RESTAURANT WILL IT HAVE OUTDOOR SEATING?
>> GREAT. WE NEED A NEW RESTAURANT.
>> WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AS WELL BECAUSE OUR CUSTOMERS IN THE FIRST BUILDING WANT THAT RESTAURANT SO THEY CAN DO LUNCH NEXT DOOR.
>> APPRECIATE IT. SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU, ONE MORE QUESTION. I'M SORRY.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU DAVID. THAT RAISES A QUESTION.
I'M JUST WONDERING THE CAPACITY YOU MENTIONED IN THE GARAGE.
WILL THAT ACCOUNT FOR THE RESTAURANT IF AND WHEN IT'S DONE?
>> YES, THIS ENTIRE SITE IS SELF-PARKED, IF YOU WILL.
>> THE SMALL COMMERCIAL BUILDING, THE RESTAURANT THAT'S BEING ADDED, THE PARKING SPOTS THAT ARE ALONG THE ROADWAYS, ACCOUNTS FOR THIS SITE, THIS SOUTH PART.
>> ONE OTHER QUESTION AND IT APPEARS TO BE THE DPS IS STILL CLEAR ON THE SIDELINE AT THE END OF DIVISION IS AN ICON ON THAT WEST END. IS THAT CORRECT?
>> I'M SORRY, I DON'T FOLLOW THAT.
>> YOU KNOW THE DPS BUILDING? IT'S A VISUAL TERMINUS ON DIVISION.
>> YEAH, WE TRIED TO COUNT THE BUILDING BACK TO MAKE PROVISION FOR THAT AS MUCH AS WE COULD.
>> ANYMORE QUESTIONS? NO? OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[3. SPIN2021-35-An applicant is proposing to repurpose an existing 3,100 sq. ft. building for a restaurant/drive-thru concept located at 2438 E. Southlake Blvd. within SPIN Neighborhood #8.]
>> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA WILL BE PRESENTED BY HANK QUIGG AND BLAKE GRAVES, WHICH IS SPIN 2021-35.
THEY ARE PROPOSING TO REPURPOSE AN EXISTING 3,100 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING FOR A RESTAURANT/DRIVE-THROUGH CONCEPT LOCATED AT 2438 EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.
IF YOU ALL CAN COME UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE.
>> MY NAME IS HANK QUIGG WITH THE RICHMOND GROUP ARCHITECT AND THIS IS BLAKE GRAVES.
>> MY NAME IS BLAKE GRAVES. I'M THE LOCAL FRANCHISE OWNER FOR CRISP & GREEN FOR DALLAS BOARD WORK.
>> WHAT THIS WAS WAS AN OLD BANK AND WE ARE TRYING TO REPURPOSE IT FOR CRISP & GREEN, WHICH IS A VERY FRESH CONCEPT.
THE SITE IS ROUGHLY 0.89 ACRES AND 3,100 SQUARE FEET, IT HAD SIX COVERED DRIVE-THROUGH LANES AND AN EXISTING 20 PARKING SPACES.
DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING, WE NEEDED TO PICK UP SOME EXTRA PARKING AND WE ALSO DIDN'T NEED THE COVER DROP THROUGH BANK, BUT WE CAME UP WITH AN IDEA TO DO AN OUTDOOR SEATING AREA.
THESE ARE A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF WHAT'S EXISTING OUT THERE NOW.
YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING BUILDING LOOKS VERY BANKISH.
ONE OF THE OTHER CHALLENGES WE HAD WAS TO TRY TO GET THIS BUILDING TO LOOK MORE LIKE WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO WITH IT, THE CRISP & GREEN.
YOU'LL SEE THE EXISTING AERIAL AND THEN THE DRIVE-THROUGH LANES, WHICH DO I POINT WITH THIS? [NOISE] NO.
>> LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GO BACK ONE.
>> THE EXISTING DRIVE-THROUGH LANES ARE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THE PARKING WAS CURRENTLY ON THE THREE SIDES.
WHAT WE DID WAS CREATE SOME PARKING HEAD IN WHERE THE DRIVE-THROUGH LANES ARE, AND THEN TOOK THE DRIVE-THROUGH AREA THAT WAS GOING TO BE COVERED AND PUT IN SOME OUTDOOR SEATING WHICH YOU CAN SEE BETTER IN THIS VIEW, WHICH IS IN THIS AREA HERE.
WE'VE ALSO CREATED A WALL ON ONE SIDE THAT WOULD BE A FEATURE WALL WITH ARTISTIC GRAPHICS OF SOME SORT.
THEN WE ALSO DID SOME RAISED PLANTERS TO SCREEN THE SEATING AREA FROM PARKING THE CARS.
[00:20:09]
THE OTHER THING IS WE HAVE A DRIVE-THROUGH LANE.IT'S NOT REALLY A CONVENTIONAL DRIVE-THROUGH LANE.
ALL OF THEIR SERVICES ARE DONE ONLINE ORDER, THERE IS NO ORDER BOARD.
BUT RIGHT THERE WOULD BE A PATIO TYPE DOOR.
IT WOULD OPEN UP WHERE THEY COULD TAKE FOOD OUT TO THE CARS AS THEY PULLED UP.
THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WE HAVE WAS GETTING FROM THE BUILDING OVER TO THE DINING AREA.
WHAT WE'VE DONE IS RAISED UP A CROSS-WALK AND CREATED SOME TRAFFIC CALMING PATTERN.
RUMPLE AREA SO THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT ONLY GO ACROSS THAT TO BE WARNED, AND ALSO WE PULLED THAT AS FAR UP AS WE COULD AWAY FROM THE BUILDING SO VISIBILITY FOR THE PEDESTRIANS WOULD BE MAXIMIZED AS WELL AS FOR THE CAR.
IN ADDITION, WE'RE LOOKING AT A LIGHTING SYSTEM THAT WOULD WARN A CAR THAT A PEDESTRIAN IS APPROACHING.
WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE MECHANICS OF THAT WARNING SYSTEM, SO I DON'T HAVE IT COMPLETED YET.
THAT'S JUST ANOTHER SITE PLAN SHOWING WE DID NOT AFFECT ANY OF THE LANDSCAPED AREAS THAT ARE EXISTING AND DID OBVIOUSLY ADD LANDSCAPED AREA AT THE OUTDOOR SEATING AREA.
THEN ON THE TOP YOU SEE THE EXISTING ELEVATIONS OF THE BANK AND DOWN BELOW YOU SEE THE NEW ELEVATIONS, BUT I'M GOING TO SWITCH TO THE RENDERING SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE DID.
WE CREATED A RAISED AREA WHERE THE EXISTING BANK ENTRANCE WAS, CREATING A SOLID WALL THERE AND THEN CREATED A TRELLIS WORK THAT WOULD SCREEN THE REST OF IT AND ALSO PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL SHADING FOR THE OUTDOOR DINING AREA.
IT'S JUST ANOTHER VIEW LOOKING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE ALTERNATIVES THAT WE LOOKED AT WHEN WE WERE WORKING ON IT.
THESE ARE ALSO SOME ELEVATION OPTIONS THAT WE LOOKED AT AS WE WORKED ON IT.
THAT'S THE SITE PLAN, AS SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE DONE TO TAKE AN EXISTING BANK THAT HAS DROVE AROUND TOWNS WHERE THERE'S BEEN BANKS THAT WENT DARK A LOT ESPECIALLY NOW WITH A LOT OF THE ACQUISITIONS AND MERGERS, YOU'RE SEEING A LOT OF BANKS THAT GO DARK AND RESTAURANTS THEY JUST GO IN OR TENANCY FOLLOW UP.
TO SEE SOMEONE GO IN AND REALLY TRY TO REVAMP THAT'S REALLY WHAT HANK IS DONE, I THINK HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO CHANGE THE FAÇADE A LITTLE BIT, CHANGE THE COURT APPEAL.
I THINK THAT BANK HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE EARLY 80S, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN [LAUGHTER] AND SO JUST REALLY TRYING TO UPDATE IT TO MAKE THAT MAIN CORRIDOR COMING THROUGH SOUTHLAKE REALLY VIBRANT AND POP WHICH IS WHAT OUR MODEL REALLY IS.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CRISPR IN GREEN WE ARE CURRENTLY DOWN IN UNIVERSITY PARK WHEREBY SMU AND SNIDER PLAZA.
THAT WAS OUR FIRST STORE HERE IN THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA, WE OPENED THAT IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR.
IT WASN'T THE BEST TIME TO OPEN IT BECAUSE WE HAD A SNOWSTORM RIGHT THEREAFTER BUT IT'S A GREAT LOCATION FOR US.
UNIVERSITY PARK OBVIOUSLY HAS VERY HIGH STANDARDS FOR THE BUSINESSES THAT DO BUSINESS THERE, BUT IT'S A VERY COMMUNITY-CENTERED PLACE AND WE'VE REALLY TAKEN THAT TO HEART WHICH REALLY FITS OUR MODEL, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE LOOKING TO COME TO SOUTHLAKE BECAUSE SOUTHLAKE IS VERY COMMUNITY-CENTERED, I LIVE IN THIS AREA, MY MOM LIVES IN THIS AREA, MY FAMILY LIVES IN THIS AREA SO THIS WOULD BE THE STORE THAT I PROBABLY FREQUENT THE MOST WILL BE THIS ONE.
JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US, WE'RE FROM MINNESOTA AS A BRAND, IT IS A FRANCHISE BUT I AM THE LOCAL FRANCHISE OWNER HERE.
I DO HAVE TWO STORES IN MINNESOTA THAT I OWN AND OPERATE, THAT'S BECAUSE I USED TO LIVE THERE, BUT I CURRENTLY LIVE HERE NOW.
I HOPE TO OWN AND OPERATE ALL THE SOURCE HERE IN DFW.
WE'RE LOOKING AT OPEN QUITE A FEW STORES BECAUSE SOUTHLAKE IS ONE OF THE TOP OF OUR LIST AND SO WHEN THE SITE CAME AVAILABLE, IT WAS A HUGE HIT BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS IT CONVENIENT, IT'S A GREAT PLACE IN TOWN AND IT HAD THE OPTIONS LIKE THE PICKUP WINDOW FOR US AND HANK MENTIONED DRIVE THROUGH, IT'S VERY MUCH A PICKUP WINDOW.
ONE OF THE BIG DRIVERS IN OUR BUSINESSES WE'VE GOT A LOT OF MOMS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DO BUSINESS, THEY'RE BUSY AND SO THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO RUN IN OR TO ORDER IT IN ORDERING BOARD, AND SO ALL THE ORDERS THAT COME THROUGH THAT, IT'S REALLY EXPEDITED CAR SIDE TO GO, YOU PULL UP TO THE WINDOW, IT'S A SLIDING GLASS DOOR, WE ALL HANKER, JIM, GREAT TO SEE YOU OR SALLY, GREAT TO SEE YOU, HERE'S YOUR ORDER HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THOSE TIME SLOTS ARE ALL SLOTTED OUT AND SO WE DON'T GET THE STACKS THAT YOU'D SEE AT A FAVORITE CHICKEN CONCEPT ACROSS THE STREET, [LAUGHTER] WE IGNORE.
THAT SOME OF THAT TRAFFIC IS FLOWING ON TO THAT MAIN QUARTER RIGHT THERE AND SO FOR US IT'S ALL ORDER AHEAD.
IF SOMEONE DOES COME UP TO THE WINDOW AND THEY SAY, HEY, WE'D LIKE TO PLACE AN ORDER IT'S, HEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH BUT LET'S PULL AHEAD INTO A PARKING SPOT AND YOU CAN EITHER COME IN OR ORDER ON YOUR APP AND I'LL BE READY IN 10 TO 15 MINUTES.
[00:25:02]
THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT WHAT OUR SITE PLAN WE DON'T REQUIRE THE STACKAGE THAT A TRADITIONAL DRIVE-THRU DOES.THIS IS OUR IN-STORE EXPERIENCE AS YOU CAN SEE TO THE RIGHT THAT'S OUR COOLER.
WE LIKE TO SAY WE'RE FINE DINING BACK HOUSE, BASS CASUAL FRONT OF HOUSE, EVERYTHING THAT WE DO ON THE BACKSIDE IS ALL FINE DINING, OUR PRODUCE COMES AT WHOLE, WE CHOP IT ALL DOWN, WE MAKE ALL OUR CHICKEN MARINATE FROM SCRATCH, ALL OF OUR DRINKS ARE MADE FROM SCRATCH, SO THERE'S NO PROCESS THAT'S CUT IN THAT.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE THERE'S A LABOR SHORTAGE RIGHT NOW, SO I'VE BEEN IN THE STORE IS QUITE A BIT DOING IT MYSELF AND SO I CAN ACTUALLY TELL YOU [LAUGHTER] THAT ALL THIS STUFF DOES HAPPEN FROM SCRATCH.
YOU CAN SEE AT THE PICTURE I THINK IT'D BE ON YOUR BOTTOM LEFT, WE'VE GOT AT A MOM, A FRESH SLICE WHOLE JALAPENO THAT COMES IN WHOLE.
APPLES, THOSE ALL COME IN WHOLE AS WELL WE DICE THOSE ALL DOWN, AND THEN WE'D LIKE TO SHOWCASE IT IN OUR COOLER AND SO IT'S A QUICK EXPERIENCE.
THIS IS SOMEWHERE YOU'RE IN AND OUT AND FIVE AND 10 MINUTES, BUT YOU'RE GETTING THAT FINE DINING EXPERIENCE OF GETTING SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD GET IT AT PERRY'S, OR A HILLSTONE, OR AN R+D, OR AN HONOR BAR.
IT'S REALLY TAKING THE FINE DINING COMPONENT AND MOVING INTO A FAST-CASUAL SETTING.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE LIKE TO DO IS REALLY HAVE VIBRANT EXTERIORS.
THIS IS ONE OF OUR STORES UP IN MINNESOTA, THIS IS ANOTHER STORE IN SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA.
WE TRIED TO BRING SOME GREENERY WHICH IS WHY THE LANDSCAPING PLAN WAS SO IMPORTANT TO US THAT HANK WENT THROUGH.
WE LIKE BOX WOULD IT FITS OUR BRAND, WE TYPICALLY PUT THIS OUTSIDE WITH SOME NICE EITHER RESTORATION, HARDWARE, CB2 PLANTERS, AND REALLY TRY TO SPRUCE UP THAT EXTERIOR WHICH WE ARE ABLE TO DO THROUGH SOME OF THOSE RENDERINGS.
HERE'S SOME MORE EXTRA ONES, THIS IS ONE OF THE BOTTOM LEFT IS OUR STORE IN THE UNIVERSITY PARK, WE GOT A BEAUTIFUL GLASS FROM BUILDING, THAT'S A SIX-STORE HIGH-RISE, WE WENT TO THE BASE OF RIGHT NEXT TO A FOXTROT COFFEE, RIGHT NEXT TO SMU SO LOT OF PEOPLE DOWN ON THAT PATIO, WHICH IS WHY THE PATIO COMPONENT WAS SO IMPORTANT HERE.
LOT OF FAMILIES, LOT OF PEOPLE COME TO DO A BUSINESS BEING JUST WANT TO COME AND HANG OUT AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT WE FEATURE IS, I'LL GO HERE TALKING ABOUT THIS, OUR FITNESS CLASSES.
WE LOVE TO PARTNER WITH OUR COMMUNITY.
IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE FOOD, IT'S A WORD WELLNESS BRAND THAT WHEN YOU COME DOWN TO IT, SO YOU CAN COME IN AND NOTHING ON OUR MENU HAS GLUTEN IN IT, SO IT'S REALLY FRIENDLY IN THAT SENSE AND WE KNOW IT GOES INTO ALL OF THE STUFF, BUT WE'D LIKE TO PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY, FITNESS AMBASSADORS, AND FITNESS PROGRAMS AND SO WE'LL BRING A YOGA INSTRUCTOR ON SITE WILL DO YOGA IN THE MORNING AT 9:30 OR 10:30 BEFORE THE STORE OPENS AND THEN, GIVE THEM A FREE FRESCA SAMPLE OR FREE SMOOTHIES OR FREE SALADS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE REALLY GET A GOOD FOLLOWING, I THINK AT OUR UNIVERSITY PARK STORE, WE'VE DONE 53 FINISHED CLASSES THIS YEAR ALREADY, FOR OVER 500 PEOPLE.
WE GET A REALLY GOOD TURN OFF FOR THOSE, WHICH JUST BRINGS THE COMMITTEE TOGETHER HAS SOMETHING FUN.
THEN THIS IS MORE OF IN-STORE FEATURES, YOU CAN SEE IT'S A VERY VIBRANT, LIGHT, WHITE, CLEAN, CRISP, AND GREEN INTERIOR.
>> OKAY. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? YES.
>> THE CUSTOMER FLOW GO FROM THE BUILDING OUT TO THE OUTDOOR DINING?
>> YEAH. THIS RIGHT NOW IS THE BANK VESTIBULE, SO YOU'D COME IN THE DOOR, YOU WALK THROUGH OUR LINE, IT'S CHIPOTLE LIFESTYLE IS THE BEST WAY I CAN EXPLAIN IT, SO LINE THAT WAY.
THIS IS THE CACHED ROUTE, SO YOU PURCHASE YOUR MEAL RIGHT HERE AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO GO THE PATIO, YOU COME BACK OUT THE DOOR AND THEN HANK AND I HAVE OFFSET THIS, THAT THERE IS A GAP AND I'VE WALKED THE SITE.
YOU'D WALK ACROSS HERE AND ENJOY THE PATIO ON THIS SIDE.
THAT IS ONE DOWNFALL OF THE BANK IS THAT YOU'VE GOT TO WALK A LITTLE BIT TO GET THERE.
WHEN WE WENT THROUGH ALL THE THINGS, WE COULDN'T REALLY FIGURE OUT A BETTER WAY TO DO IT.
>> THEY'LL GO STRAIGHT THROUGH WHICH DIRECTION WILL THEY COME?
>> CARS WILL COME AROUND THE BUILDING THIS WAY AND THEN THEY WILL COME RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS A SLIDING GLASS DOOR AND SO THEY'LL COME OUT HERE, GIVE THE PERSON THEIR MEAL.
I'VE WORKED THIS AS WELL, THIS IS A GOOD 30 FEET AFTER THEY GET THEIR MEAL THAT THEY GET TO THIS POINT.
THEIR HEAD IS ALREADY UP AS THEY'RE CHECKING BAG, OH, DID I GET MY DRINK, MY SAUCE AND THEY'RE JUST LIKE, YOU HAD TIME FOR THAT, SO AND THEN ADDED IN THAT RUMBLE STRIP.
THEN LIKE HANK SAID, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN IN ONE OF OUR EARLY PRELIMINARIES WITH THE CITY WAS, HEY, I WANT TO FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SO I WENT ACTUALLY BACK TO MY MOM WHO JUST GOT SIX KIDS, SO I TRUST HER JUDGMENT AND SAID, HEY, WHAT ELSE COULD WE DO? AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE LOOKING INTO THAT CROSSWALK SIGN THAT WOULD LIGHT UP IF THERE IS SOME MOVEMENT RIGHT THERE.
IT'S THAT ADDED, HEY, THERE MIGHT BE SOMEBODY ELSE COMING OUT IN FRONT OF SOMETHING.
YEAH. I MEAN, OUR CONCEPT IS REALLY FOCUSED AROUND FAMILIES AND SO THE LAST THING I'D WANT IS SOMEONE TO BE IN DANGER.
>> YEAH. EXACTLY. OKAY. GREAT.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.
>> I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE OUTDOOR.
[00:30:01]
>> IT'S ALWAYS NICE WE CAN GET A GREAT RESTAURANT THAT HAS AN OUTDOOR SCENE AND WE'VE NOTICED THAT IN EVERYPLACE IN UNIVERSITY PARK, THE ACTUAL SCENE GETS YOU SO MUCH AND SO HAVING THAT PLACE YOU CAN TAKE YOUR FAMILY AND HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE IS SUPER HELPFUL.
>> WHERE WOULD YOU DO THE EXERCISE CLASSES?
>> WE TYPICALLY WILL DO THEM IN EITHER THE PARKING LOT, IN THIS SETTING RIGHT HERE.
WE'VE DONE IT JUST RIGHT OUTSIDE, THIS IS ONE OF OUR FITNESS CLASSES RIGHT HERE AND WE LITERALLY DO THAT, RIGHT WHERE THESE TABLES ARE IN THIS COMPONENT, ON THIS BUILDING, WHERE I FIRST SEE THIS HAPPENING IS PROBABLY IN THIS AREA OR BEHIND, OR WE WOULD MOVE THESE TABLES ONCE WE DID HAVE A CLASS.
IF I MOVE THESE TABLES RIGHT HERE AND PUSH THEM OFF TO THE SIDE WHERE THIS IS, I COULD HOST NO LESS THAN BETWEEN THIS AND THIS AREA BACK HERE, TO I COULD HAVE 50 PEOPLE OUT THERE.
OUR GRAND OPENING WILL PROBABLY HAVE, WILL HAVE A HUNDRED PLUS PEOPLE HAVE OUR GRAND OPENING DURING THE FITNESS EVENT.
>> OKAY. WELCOME TO SOUTHLAKE.
>> THANK YOU, [LAUGHTER] I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
OUR LAST APPLICANT, I GUESS HE'S NOT AN APPLICANT,
[4. SPIN2021-36-The City of Southlake is proposing amendments to the Mobility Master Plan, an element of the Comprehensive Plan, to review recommended priorities for future sidewalk and roadway construction projects]
IS KEN BAKER AND HE'S HERE TO PRESENT FOR SPIN 2021-36.IT'S THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE IS PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE MOBILITY MASTER PLAN AND THE ELEMENT THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO REVIEW RECOMMENDED PRIORITIES FOR FUTURE SIDEWALK AND ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
MY FAVORITE THING TO TALK ABOUT.
DIDN'T KNOW EVERYBODY, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
THESE CITIES PERIODICALLY GO THROUGH AMENDMENTS TO ITS COMPREHENSIVE PLANS.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A DOCUMENT, A POLICY DOCUMENT THAT THE CITY HAS, IT SERVES AS A FRAMEWORK, A BLUEPRINT FOR THE PROVISIONS OF CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR PROGRAMS. THE ELEMENTS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE HAVE OVER 15 ELEMENTS SUCH AS LAND USE PLAN, THE MOBILITY PLAN, THE PARK PLAN.
THE MOBILITY PLAN IS WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO AMEND TO ADD SOME SIDEWALK PRIORITIES IN SOME MINOR AMENDMENTS TO THE PATHWAYS MAP AS WELL AS SOME NEW ROADWAY PROJECTS.
THE SIDEWALKS IN SOUTHLAKE ARE A CRITICAL ELEMENT TO OUR OVERALL MOBILITY STRATEGY.
MOBILITY ADDRESSES NOT ONLY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC BUT BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN.
IT IS OUR DESIRE TO CREATE AN OVERALL ROBUST SYSTEM.
IT'S ALSO DESIRED BY THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, AS INDICATED BY THE CITIZEN'S SURVEY, SIDEWALKS ARE A HIGH PRIORITY.
THE CITY HAS DONE A CONSTRUCTABILITY EVALUATION FOR FUTURE PUBLICLY FUNDED SIDEWALKS AND WE'RE USING THIS AS A GUIDE TO SET THESE PRIORITIES OR RESET THESE PRIORITIES IN THE MOBILITY PLAN.
AS MENTIONED, WE'LL ALSO DO A MINOR PATHWAYS MAP AMENDMENT AND ADD A FEW ROADWAY-RELATED PROJECTS.
IN TERMS OF OUR SIDEWALK NETWORK IN THE CITY, THERE'S A NUMBER OF WAYS THAT WE PROVIDE SIDEWALKS.
SIDEWALKS ARE BUILT AS PART OF OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM.
EACH YEAR, THE COUNCIL ALLOCATES A CERTAIN DOLLAR AMOUNT TO CONSTRUCT PROJECTS IN THE CITY.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY WAY THAT WE PROVIDE SIDEWALKS.
WE ALSO PROVIDE THEM IN CONJUNCTION WITH ROADWAY PROJECTS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD, WHICH IS BEING CONSTRUCTED FROM 114 UP TO EMERALD NEAR THE TOM THUMB.
YOU'LL SEE SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT NEW ROADWAY.
RUCKER ROAD, WHICH WAS RECENTLY COMPLETED, HAS SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT ROADWAY.
VILLAGE CENTER, WE GET NEW SECTIONS.
WE HAD A NEW SECTION BUILT AT THE INTERSECTION OF NOLEN THAT INCLUDES SIDEWALKS.
BRUMLOW AVENUE, WHICH IS A MAJOR FOUR-LANE PROJECT COMING UP IN A COUPLE OF YEARS THAT WILL HAVE SIDEWALKS AND A DEDICATED BIKE LANE IS PART OF THAT PROJECT.
ALSO, OUR ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS, WE REQUIRE THE NEW COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL PROVIDE SIDEWALKS PER THE DEVELOPMENT.
THE PREVIOUS APPLICANT ON THE GRANT A BUILDING, YOU SAW THE CONNECTION, THE SIDEWALK CONNECTIVITY THAT WILL BE INSTALLED AS PART OF THAT PROJECT.
ANYTIME THERE IS A NEW COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OR NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THERE IS SIDEWALKS INCLUDED.
THEN MOST CASES, WHEN YOU HAVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BUILD SIDEWALKS UNLESS THEY'RE IN AN AREA WHERE SIDEWALKS DON'T EXIST AND THEN THEY HAVE TO GET A VARIANCE APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL.
BUT SINCE THE REVISION TO OUR ORDINANCE, ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT HAS TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS.
WE HAVE INTERNAL SIDEWALKS, WE PROVIDE THOSE CONNECTION, THOSE LINKAGES, WE CAN MAKE IT WALKABLE, PEOPLE CAN WALK TO THOSE PARKS.
BICENTENNIAL PARK, WE COMPLETED THAT PHASE.
[00:35:02]
ALONG UNITY WAY, THE SIDEWALKS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED ALSO THE INTERNAL NETWORK INSIDE THE PARK.BOB JONES PARK, WHEN WE BUILD THE SOUTHLAKE SPORTS COMPLEX, WE START THAT PROJECT.
ALONG CROOKED AVENUE, WE'LL HAVE SIDEWALKS ALONG CROOKED AVENUE AS PART OF THAT PROJECT, AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL SIDEWALK NETWORK.
ALSO, THE CITY LOOKS FOR INFILL GAP PROJECTS, CONTINENTAL SIDEWALK WAS AN EXAMPLE RECENTLY COMPLETED WHERE WE COMPLETED A MAJOR GAP, WHICH NOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY START AT TIM RON AND GO UP TO KIMBALL 1709, BACK DOWN BYRON NELSON, IT'S ALONG CONNECTED SIDEWALK PIECE IN THE CITY.
THEN WE HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD MATCHING FUND PROJECT.
THOSE ARE PROJECTS WITHIN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.
THE CITY IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A 50 PERCENT MATCH IF A NEIGHBORHOOD IS WILLING TO DO SIDEWALKS.
WHAT THE TIME CONSUMING PART OF THAT OR LABOR INTENSIVE PART OF THAT PROJECT IS THAT, IN MOST CASES WE'LL NEED EASEMENTS TO PROVIDE THE SIDEWALKS.
WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WANTS TO DO THAT, THAT THEY HAVE THE NEIGHBORS LINED UP WITH THE EASEMENTS READY TO DEDICATE FOR THAT SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION.
OTHERWISE, THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO GO IN THERE AND TRY TO NEGOTIATE AN EASEMENT.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO EVERYBODY ON BOARD TO GET A SEGMENT COMPLETE.
BUT WE'VE HAD A FEW NEIGHBORHOODS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT MATCHING FUND PROJECT PROGRAM.
IF A NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD LIKE TO GET A SECTION BUILT WITHIN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE CITY MATCH THOSE CONSTRUCTION DOLLARS.
IN TERMS OF OUR EVALUATION, THERE'S THE CRITERIA THAT WE LOOKED AT AND WE DID THIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OF [INAUDIBLE] PERKINS AND ENGINEERING FIRM.
THEY LOOKED AT A CRITERIA AND PROVIDED WEIGHTS TO CERTAIN COMPONENTS THAT INCLUDED CONNECTIVITIES TO OTHER SIDEWALKS SYSTEMS, LOCATIONS NEAR A PARK OR SCHOOL, WAS THERE AVAILABLE RIGHT OF WAY OR EASEMENT, WOULD THERE BE TREE REMOVAL, UTILITY RELOCATIONS, WOULD YOU NEED TO CONSTRUCT A BRIDGE ACROSS A DRAINAGE WAY OR A STREAM.
BRIDGES OF ELEVATED STRUCTURES ARE VERY COSTLY.
THAT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE EQUATION.
DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS WERE ALSO LOOKED AT.
OUR GOAL HERE IS TO TRY TO GET AS MANY SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS STARTED IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS AND WE'VE IDENTIFIED SEGMENTS THAT WE THINK ARE VERY DOABLE, THAT WE COMPLETE THIS TIER 1 PRIORITY LIST WITHIN THE DESIGNATED TIMEFRAME.
BUT ALSO WE LOOKED AT FUTURE SIDEWALK PROJECTS AND TRY TO PRIORITIZE THOSE AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO CONSTRUCT THOSE AS WE GO DOWN THIS LIST.
THESE ARE LOCATIONS OF THE [NOISE] TIER 1 PRIORITY PROJECTS.
THERE IS A TIER 2 AND TIER 3 PRIORITY LIST WHICH THE STAFF WILL BE PRESENTING TO THE P&Z AND COUNCIL.
WE WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK NOT ONLY FROM THE TIER 1, BUT ON THE TIER 2, AND TIER 3 PROJECTS AND THEN ALSO ANY PROJECTS THAT MAYBE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS LIST.
WE HAVE SET UP A FEEDBACK SYSTEM WHICH I'LL GO OVER HERE JUST A SECOND.
IT'S AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE SO THAT RESIDENTS THAT ARE WATCHING THIS, THEY WANT TO PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK ON THE PRIORITIES, WE HAVE A MECHANISM TO DO SUCH.
BUT THESE ARE WHAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED PRIORITY ONES USING THE TMP EVALUATION CRITERIA AS A FRAMEWORK TO ESTABLISH THOSE.
THIS FIRST PROJECT IS THE UNION CHURCH PROJECT.
THERE ARE SOME SIDEWALK SEGMENTS ALONG UNION CHURCH.THIS WOULD PROVIDE CONNECTION TO CHESAPEAKE PARK ALONG UNION CHURCH, SO THE SIENA NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CHESAPEAKE NEIGHBORHOOD, ALSO QUITE A BIT OF RESIDENTIAL IN KELLER TO THE SOUTH THAT CREATES SOME WALKABILITY ALONG UNION CHURCH.
SILICON DRIVE, IN THAT AREA, THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF EMPLOYMENT CENTERED IN THAT AREA.
YOU SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WALKING DURING LUNCH THAT TRY TO GET OUT DURING THE DAY.
THE REASON THIS PROJECT WAS RANKED SO HIGH IS BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY, IT'S FAIRLY FLAT, THERE'S NOT ANY MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY.
IT ALSO PROVIDES A CONNECTION DOWN SOUTH OF EXCHANGE WHICH CREATES A SIDEWALK SYSTEM WHERE YOU HAVE TO CROSS SILICON, BUT IT GETS INTO THE DRAGON STADIUM PARKING LOT.
IF YOU'VE BEEN TO A FOOTBALL GAME, YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PARKING THAT TAKES PLACE IN AND AROUND THE STADIUM ON GAME DAYS.
IT ALSO CREATE A SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR THOSE FANS AND STUDENTS THAT ARE PARKING
[00:40:05]
UP IN THE OFFICE AREA TO WALK A LITTLE BIT SAFER TO DRAGON STADIUM.THE NOLEN, WHICH IS JUST TO THE EAST OF THAT SIMILAR BASIS, A LOT OF WALKABILITY AND THAT WOULD CONNECT TO EXCHANGE WHICH CONNECTS THE SIDEWALK SYSTEM SOMEWHAT TO THE EAST, BUT ALSO PROVIDES THAT CONNECTION BACK TO SILICON AND INTO THE STADIUM COMPLEX.
THE WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD, THIS IS A PROJECT THAT'S SOUTH OF CONTINENTAL.
IF YOU'VE BEEN IN THIS AREA SINCE THE BRIDGE WAS OPENED, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THE CITY IN CONJUNCTION WITH [INAUDIBLE] DID A MAJOR BRIDGE PROJECT ON THE BEAR CREEK CROSSING.
COLEY BILL HAS CONSTRUCTED A SIDEWALK SYSTEM THAT CONNECTS UP TO BEAR CREEK OR THE BRIDGE THAT RUNS SOUTH ON PLEASANT RON ALL THE WAY BACK TO THEIR TOWN SQUARE, WHICH COULD GET TO THE COTTON BELT.
A PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IS THE SOUTH WHITE CHAPEL SHOULD TAKE THE CONNECTION TO THE BRIDGE TO THE SOUTH AND TAKE IT UP TO JUST SOUTH OF WEST CONTINENTAL WHERE THERE'S A SIDEWALK SEGMENT BUILT IN THE TIM RON OFFICE PIECE.
THIS WOULD CREATE A CONNECTION FROM REALLY COLLEYVILLE TOWN SQUARE THROUGH COLLEYVILLE, THROUGH THE SOUTH PART OF THE SOUTHLAKE TO THE CONTINENTAL SIDEWALKS SYSTEM, WHICH GOES TO THE EAST ALL THE WAY TO KIMBALL.
YOU'D HAVE A CONNECTIVITY AND YOU GET ON KIMBALL GOLF BY 1709 BACK TO 1709 TO BYRON NELSON AND YOU'VE CREATED A VERY WELL CONNECTED SIDEWALK SYSTEM.
LOOKING AT SOME PRELIMINARY LOOK AT THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE THE NECESSARY RIGHT AWAY TO DO THIS PROJECT AND SO THAT'S SCORED HIGH ON OUR PRIORITY LIST. THIS NEXT SEGMENT IS DAVIS BOULEVARD.
AGAIN, THE RIGHT OF WAY IS AVAILABLE, IT'S A VERY FLAT SECTION.
THE CONNECTION WOULD ALLOW, THERE IS A SIDEWALK SYSTEM ON VISTA RIDGE TO THE NORTH THAT GOES UP TO THE SHOPPING CENTER AREA, AND ALSO TO THE SOUTH THAT GOES BACK TOWARD THE DAVIS PARK DEVELOPMENT.
THIS CONNECTION WOULD CREATE MORE CONNECTED SIDEWALK ALONG DAVIS BOULEVARD.
THEN SUNRISE RANCH IS A PIECE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED IN OUR PARKS PLAN.
AGAIN, A VERY FLAT PIECE, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT IN THIS PHOTO THE SIDEWALK SYSTEM IN [INAUDIBLE] RANCH STOPS HERE, AND THERE'S NOT A CONNECTIVITY BACK TO THE CLIFFS PARK TRAIL, WHICH GOES ALL THE WAY OVER TO WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD.
THAT SEEM LIKE AN OBVIOUS CONNECTION THAT NEED TO BE MADE TO PROVIDE THAT CONNECTIVITY TO THE TRAIL SYSTEM ALREADY ESTABLISHED IN THE PARK, AND THAT WOULD CREATE THE CONNECTIVITY BACK TO THE EAST THROUGH THE CLIFFS, AND THEN YOU COULD CROSS OVER TO BOB JONES PARK.
THEN BYRON NELSON HAS A SMALL SEGMENT MISSING ON THE WEST SIDE.
THIS IS THE AREA THAT'S JUST NORTH OF WHERE THE OLD SENIOR CENTER IS LOCATED, THE CITY PROPERTY JUST CROSS FROM ROCK AND BALL ELEMENTARY.
BUT ON THE PHOTO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE SEGMENT IS MISSING.
THIS WOULD PROVIDE A CONNECTION BACK TO THE 1709 TRAIL SYSTEM, WHICH FOR THE MOST PART RUNS ALL THE WAY FROM KELLER TO GRAY FONT.
THERE ARE A FEW GAPS ON THE SYSTEM BUT THAT SIDEWALK SYSTEM IS CONNECTED PRETTY MUCH TO THE ENTIRE SIX MILE LENGTH OF SOUTHLAKE.
THEN THE 114 PROJECTS WITH THE NEW KIMBALL OFFICE PARK DEVELOPMENT.
WE HAD LARGE PORTION THAT WAS BUILT IN FRONT OF THE KIMBALL, THE OFFICE.
THIS WILL TAKE CONNECTION BACK TO THE EAST.
ONCE WE CAN GET ACROSS WHAT'S CALLED THE OLD VELOCITY BUILDING HERE AND THE 13 ACRE PIECES HERE, WE CAN GET UP TO THE GATEWAY CHURCH PROPERTY, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY GET US ALMOST TO CARROLL.
THERE IS A SMALL SEGMENT THAT WE DISCUSSED EARLIER THIS EVENING IS MISSING AT THAT OFFICE DEVELOPMENT BUT THAT WILL GET ABOUT 90 PERCENT OF THAT SEGMENT CONSTRUCTED.
WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND WE'VE IDENTIFIED THESE PUBLIC PROJECTS FOR OUT ABOUT A 10 YEAR PERIOD.
A NUMBER OF PROJECTS ARE PROVIDED.
WE DO HAVE A MAP THAT IDENTIFIES ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED.
[00:45:06]
I DO HAVE A COPY HERE IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS AFTER THE MEETING.BUT FOR THOSE WATCHING, IF YOU GO TO OUR MOBILITY MASTER PLAN WEBSITE, YOU CAN GET ALL THIS INFORMATION AND THERE'S A FEEDBACK FORM.
BUT THE EASIEST WAY IS JUST GO INTO THE CITY'S WEBSITE, JUST TYPE IN MOBILITY MASTER PLAN AND GO TO THE BOTTOM PART OF THAT WEB PAGE THAT POPS UP, YOU'LL SEE THE PROJECTS.
THERE'S SOME VISUALS THAT YOU CAN GO THROUGH AND SCROLL THROUGH THE PRIORITY RANKS PROJECTS.
YOU CAN GO TO THIS MAP WHICH WILL HIGHLIGHT ALL THE SEGMENTS.
YOU CAN ZOOM IN AND SEE WHERE THE SEGMENTS ARE LOCATED, WHAT PRIORITY THEY ARE, AND THEN THERE'S A FEEDBACK FORM ON THE WEBSITE THAT YOU CAN FILL OUT.
IT AUTOMATICALLY COMES TO THE CITY, WILL PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND TO OUR CITY COUNCIL, IF THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS.
I ALSO MENTIONED A COUPLE OF MAP AMENDMENTS.
THE FIRST ONE IS THE EXISTING SIDEWALKS SECTION ON WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD, AND ANYBODY WHO LIVES ON THE NORTH PART OF THE CITY OR EVEN THE CITY, YOU KNOW OF SOME OF THE CHALLENGES WITH THE ELEVATION OF THAT ELEVATED OR BRIDGE STRUCTURE AT THE NORTH PART OF THE CITY.
THIS IS THE AREA JUST SOUTH OF BOB JONES PARK BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST RIGHT THERE WHERE THE CORE PROPERTY IS LOCATED THE SOUTH OF BOB JONES BEFORE YOU GET TO CLARIDEN RANCH AND CLARIDEN SCHOOL.
THE CITY IS LOOKING TO GET SOME WHAT WE CALL TIP FUNDING TO ELEVATE THAT STRUCTURE OUT OF THE FLOOD AREA FOR THE LAKE.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING SOME MAJOR RAIN EVENTS IS THAT WATER CAN COME OVER THAT STRUCTURE.
ALSO, LAKE GRAPEVINE, WHEN THEY HOLD THE WATER BACK THEN THAT WATER ELEVATION RISES, IT CAN ALSO FLOOD THAT BRIDGE, AND SO THE PROJECT IS TO LOOK AT RAISING THAT STRUCTURE ABOVE THAT CRITICAL ELEVATION POINT.
PART OF THAT PROPOSAL IS THAT WE GET A SIDEWALK PROJECT AS PART OF THAT BRIDGE PROJECT, IS PART OF OUR GRANT FUNDING THAT WE'RE PURSUING FOR THIS PROJECT.
THERE'S ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF RIGHT OF WAY BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT CORE PROPERTY ON REALLY BOTH SIDES.
IT'S MORE STRATEGIC TO LOOK AT DOING A SIDEWALK ON ONE SIDE, A WIDE SIDEWALK ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE TAKE THAT TO THE WEST SIDE BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE CONNECTIVITY TO THE NORTH, UP TO BOB JONES AND THEN ALL THE WAY SOUTH BACK TO DUB.
IF WE COULD GET THIS SIDEWALKS SEGMENT BILL WITH THAT PROJECT, THAT WOULD ALLOW A CONNECTION FROM LIBERTY PARK AND NORTH PARK ALL THE WAY UP TO BOB JONES AND THE CLARIDEN RANCH PARK.
IT WOULD BE A CRITICAL COMPONENT THAT IS SHOWN IN THE YELLOW LINE HERE ON THE WEST SIDE OF WHITE CHAPEL.
THE OTHER AMENDMENT IS ON ZENA RUCKER.
THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW MS. RUCKER, YOU KNOW SHE OWNS A VERY LARGE PIECE AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE PROPERTY WOULD EVER BE DEVELOPED, BUT ON OUR LAND USE PLAN, IT IS SHOWN AS MEDIUM DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL, AND IF IT IS EVER DEVELOPED, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A CONNECTIVITY, WALKABILITY TRAIL THAT'S INSTALLED AS PART OF THAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
THE CURRENT ALIGNMENT SHOW TO GO ON THROUGH A PIECE OF PROPERTY JUST WEST OF THE MATHEWS COURT SUBDIVISION.
THERE'S ALSO APPROVED OFFICE DEVELOPMENT AND THAT'S COMING THROUGH ENTITLEMENT.
THE PROPERTY OR THE LIMEN NOW GOES TO THE CARROLL RACKBALL ELEMENTARY PROPERTY AND THEN PARTIALLY THROUGH THE TIMORON OPEN SPACE AND IT IS HEAVILY WOODED.
LOOKING AT IT HAVING A TRAIL ON THE SCHOOL PROPERTY MAY NOT BE THE BEST IDEA BECAUSE THOSE TRAILS SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE 24, THEY'RE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
THE THOUGHT WAS GIVING SOME APPREHENSION FROM THE TIMORON AND HOA OF MAYBE
[00:50:01]
DEDICATING SOME PROPERTY AND NOT HAVING A DISCUSSION WITH THE CARROLL SCHOOL DISTRICT, BUT JUST THINKING THAT MAYBE A LOCATION TO THE WEST OFF THE CARROLL PROPERTY MAY BE MORE ADVANTAGEOUS.WE'RE RECOMMENDING MOVING THAT ALIGNMENT TO THE EAST, BUT STILL SHOWING THAT CONNECTIVITY POINT THAT WOULD GET IT BACK TO WINDY CREEK, WHICH WE GET IT OVER TO CARROLL AVENUE, WHICH WE HAVE A SIDEWALK SYSTEM THAT WOULD GET IT TO OLD UNION.
EVENTUALLY, THERE'S A PARK, THE NOBLE'S PARK THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE OLD UNION.
BUT HALF CONNECTED ALL THE WAY BACK OVER TO ROCK 'N BALL.
THEN YOU HAVE THE CITY'S PROPERTY ACROSS THE STREET FROM ROCK 'N BALL.
THAT'S A CRITICAL CONNECTION THAT LONG-TERM WE'D LIKE TO MAKE AND WE'D LIKE TO REFLECT THAT MODERN AMENDMENT ON THE PLAN.
THE OFFICIALS PATHWAYS MAP WOULD BE CHANGED TO MODIFY THOSE ALIGNMENTS SLIGHTLY.
ALSO, IF CITIZENS ARE INTERESTED IN AND WHAT'S BEEN BUILT, WHAT'S PLANNED, WE DO HAVE A WEBSITE, WWW.CONNECTSOUTHLAKE.COM, WHERE YOU CAN GO IN, AND LOOK AND SEE WHAT'S BEEN BUILT, WHAT'S PLANNED.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE CITY'S PRIORITIES, THIS IS A GOOD TOOLS, IT'S AN INTERACTIVE TYPE MAP THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO OUR CITIZENS.
A COUPLE OTHER MINOR PROPOSED AMENDMENTS INCLUDE SOME ROAD PROJECTS.
ONE IS THE SHADY OAKS HIGHLAND INTERSECTION.
THE LEVEL SURFACE AREA PRIMARILY DUE TO SCHOOL TRAFFIC DURING PEAK TIMES, RENTERS THAT INTERSECTION AT A LEVEL THAT IT WARRANTS TAKEN A LOOK AT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS.
THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF OPTIONS FOR THAT, WHICH INCLUDED ADDING SOME TURN LANES, ONE IS A MINI TYPE ROUNDABOUT SO THE OPTIONS ARE STILL BEING STUDIED.
THEY'LL BE COMMUNICATION AND DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COMMENTARY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY WILL HAVE SOME MAJOR INPUT ON TERMS OF WHAT WILL ULTIMATELY BE CONSTRUCTED THERE.
THE OTHER IS TO LOOK AT STUDY IN CONJUNCTION WITH TXDOT TO LOOK AT POTENTIAL MAIN LANE EXPANSIONS ON 114, PARTICULARLY ANY BOTTLENECK AREAS THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING.
THEN ALSO LOOKING AT SOME RAMP REVERSALS THAT WOULD INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY TO OUR 114 PROPERTIES.
INCREASED SAFETY BY ELIMINATING SOME OF THAT WEAVING MOVEMENT THAT'S TAKING PLACE BETWEEN THE ENTRANCE RAMPS AND THE EXIT RAMPS.
ALSO REDUCE SOME OF THE CONGESTION AND INTERSECTIONS.
BUT LOOK AT MAYBE NOT ONLY ONE MAKING OUR PROPERTIES MORE ACCESSIBLE AND VIABLE FROM AN ECONOMIC STANDPOINT, BUT ALSO IMPROVING CONGESTION, MAKING IT SAFER.
THIS WOULD BE A PROJECT MUCH LIKE THE FRONTAGE ROAD WHERE A LOT OF THE FUNDING WOULD FALL ONTO TXDOT BUT THE CITY DOES AT SOME POINTS PARTICIPATE IN SOME OF THE STUDIES AND SO WE DO WANT ID THAT AS A POTENTIAL STUDY TO SEE MAYBE A LONGER-TERM PROJECT MAY BE FEASIBLE ON THE 114 CORRIDOR.
THE TWO PROJECTS, THE INTERSECTION HERE, SHADY OAKS AND HIGHLAND, AGAIN, NOTHING HAS BEEN DETERMINED ON WHAT'S THE BEST DESIGN FOR THE INTERSECTION, BUT WANTED TO IDENTIFY THAT AS THAT APPEARS TO BE A WANTED FUTURE PROJECT.
THEN THE STUDY THAT WOULD LOOK AT THE INCREASE IN CAPACITY OR ADDING A LANE IN 114 AND POTENTIAL RAMP REVERSALS IN THE FUTURE.
THIS IS THE GENERAL PROJECT AREA FOR THE POSSIBLE 114 STUDY.
IN TERMS OF UPCOMING MEETINGS, THEY'LL BE A PUBLIC HEARING NOVEMBER 4TH, THAT'S A THURSDAY EVENING, IT'LL BE IN THIS ROOM AT 6:30 PM.
ANY FORMS THAT ARE RECEIVED OR COMMENTS THAT ARE RECEIVED THROUGH THE WEBSITE WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
THE CITY COUNCIL WILL HAVE A FIRST READING ON AN ITEM.
WE DO APPROVE ALL OUR AMENDMENTS BIO ORDINANCE SO AN ORDINANCE IN SOUTHLAKE REQUIRES TWO READINGS.
WE'LL HAVE A FIRST READING NOVEMBER 16TH, THAT MEETING STARTS AT 5:30, THE PUBLIC IS WELCOME TO SPEAK AT THAT FIRST READING.
[00:55:02]
THEN DECEMBER 7TH IS THE OFFICIAL PUBLIC HEARING THE COUNCIL MEETINGS START AT 05:30 PM, BUT TYPICALLY THE REGULAR SESSION IS USUALLY SOMEWHERE 6:45-07:00 PM, AND SO THAT'S WHEN THE PUBLIC HEARING WOULD TAKE PLACE IS AFTER THE COUNCIL'S WORK SESSION AND CONSENT AGENDA REVIEW AND EXECUTIVE SESSION.THEY USUALLY COME OUT BACK OUT INTO REGULAR SESSION ABOUT 6:45-07:00 MOST EVENINGS.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE HERE AND BE SAFE, BE HERE BY 5:30, BUT MOST LIKELY IT'S GOING TO BE 6:45, 07:00 PM BEFORE THEY GET STARTED ON THAT.
BUT THOSE ARE THREE OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE ANY INPUT IF YOU WANT TO COME TO THOSE MEETINGS.
THIS IS MY CONTACT INFORMATION.
ALSO, AGAIN, THE WEB SITE IF YOU WANT TO PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK, WE DO HAVE A FORUM SETUP DIRECTLY FOR THIS ITEM.
THEN ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS OR THOUGHTS WE DEFINITELY WANT TO HEAR THOSE AND WOULD ENCOURAGE ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS.
>> THANK YOU, KEN. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? YES.
>> ON THE 114 RAMP REVERSALS, I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND EXACTLY.
WHAT ARE YOU REFERRING TO THERE? HOW'S THAT GOING TO WORK?
>> AGAIN, IT'S JUST VERY EARLY, BUT IT MAY BE EASIER MAYBE AFTER MEETING COME UP SO YOU CAN SEE THIS LITTLE CLOSER ON THIS SCREEN HERE.
BUT BASICALLY WHAT IT DOES, IT WILL HELP GET TRAFFIC THROUGH THOSE INTERSECTIONS WHERE A LOT OF TIMES YOU'RE SEEING BASICALLY WHERE YOU'RE GETTING ON, YOU'LL BE GETTING OFF AND VICE VERSA.
I GUESS, IN SIMPLEST FORM IS WHAT'S GOING [OVERLAPPING]
>> SO YOU DON'T JAM UP AT THE INTERSECTIONS THERE. I THINK I UNDERSTAND.
>> JUST WHILE I'M HERE [LAUGHTER] I NOTICED, I THINK I SAW THAT EAST DOVE ROAD WAS A THIRD PRIORITY.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE CITY TO RE-EVALUATE THAT EAST DOVE ROAD IS IN DIRE NEED OF A SIDEWALK.
THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS AND TRAFFIC ON THAT ROAD WAY IS ACTUALLY TOO FAST OFTEN.
MY WIFE AND I NOW HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT THERE MANY TIMES.
TO THE DEGREE THAT A SPECIAL CASE COULD BE, I KNOW THAT ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE EAST DOVE ROAD HAVING A SIDEWALK.
>> I THINK IT'S A VALID POINT.
THE CITY IS AWARE OF THAT AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A COMMENT ON THAT.
AS YOU KNOW, LIVING UP THERE, IT'S HEAVILY USED BY THE BICYCLISTS, AND YOU SEE JOGGERS VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING.
I DRIVE AND RUN IT THE LAKE AND I'LL SEE PEOPLE OUT RUNNING SIX O'CLOCK ON THAT.
WHAT WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT AND THERE'S A LOT OF DRAINAGE AND MOST LIKELY REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANT TREE REMOVAL WHICH WILL TAKE AWAY FROM A CHARACTER AND SO HOW WE BALANCE THAT.
BUT I THINK IT'S WARRANTED FOR THE CITY TO TAKE A LOOK SO THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS.
>> MR. CUNNINGHAM, HAVE YOU FILLED OUT THE CITIZEN'S SURVEY?
>> THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU TO WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE, AND THE CITY DOES LOOK AT THAT HEAVILY.
SO THAT WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU AND YOUR WIFE TO DO.
I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT WHITE CHAPEL, I WILL BE ABLE TO RIDE MY BICYCLE ALL THE WAY TO LIFETIME SO THAT IS AWESOME.
ONCE THAT GETS APPROVED, THEN WHAT'S THE TIME-FRAME ON THAT?
>> THAT SEGMENT CAN BE BUILT HOPEFULLY SOON, THAT'LL BE A NICE CONNECTION BECAUSE THAT WILL OPEN UP A LOT OF MOVEMENT IN BETWEEN THE COTTON BELL, THE COLLEAGUE BILL CONTINENTAL AND SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT ONE.
>> EXACTLY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK THAT IS A WRAP FOR THIS MEETING.
FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND JUST FOR THE AUDIENCE TO REMEMBER THAT THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
A SPIN MEETING REPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE MEETING AND IT WILL INCLUDE THE SUBMITTED SPIN QUESTIONS AND COMMENT FORMS AND THESE ARE JUST GENERAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE FORM.
THEY'RE NOT VERBATIM AND INTERESTED PARTIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THE CASE THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT.
[01:00:02]
THESE MEETINGS ARE RECORDED AND MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE CITY'S WEBSITE ABOUT 24 HOURS AFTER THE MEETING.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.
