[3. Southlake Chamber of Commerce Updates by Clint Snead]

WE'RE GOING TO GET AN UPDATE ON THE SOUTHLAKE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FROM THE CHAMBER CEO MARK GILBERT. COME ON DOWN, MR. GILBERT. HI THERE.

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU, PILAR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CLINT SNEED, SINCE HIS REGRETS, HE JUST WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT THIS EVENING.

WE DO APPRECIATE YOU GUYS GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOU GUYS AND GIVE THESE ROUTINE KIND OF UPDATES AND ALSO GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO KIND OF ASK US QUESTIONS AND STUFF SO LIKE TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO.

SO POKEWORKS HAS BEEN AMONG A NUMBER OF RECENT GRAND OPENINGS.

THERE'S BEEN A BLITZ OF THEM.

A LOT OF FOLKS ARE COMING OUT OF THEIR SHELLS NOW THAT COVID IS, YOU KNOW, WE ARE WHERE WE ARE. BUT THERE'S A BIG VOLUME OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING AND DOING GRAND OPENINGS AND GETTING OUT THERE AND JOINING THE CHAMBER.

WE'VE HAD A BIG INFLUX OF NEW PEOPLE, BUT IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

WE GET TO A RIBBON CUTTING AND THIS WAS A REALLY FUN ONE AT POKEWORKS.

AND I SEE A COUPLE OF YOU GUYS IN THERE.

MAYOR, I THINK EVEN STOP BY THAT EVENING, BUT WE ARE CHEERING THEM ON AMONG ALL THE OTHERS. HERE ARE SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY JOINED US THIS YEAR IN JANUARY.

SO FAR, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S A BIG INFLUX.

THE CHAMBER HAD A LOT OF NEW MEMBERS LAST YEAR, AND A LOT OF NEW MEMBERS ARE ALREADY STARTING TO COME IN THIS YEAR. AND I SEE IT AS A GOOD SIGN OF A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT.

SADLY, WE DO LOSE MEMBERS OVER TIME AND THROUGH ATTRITION, BUT IT'S A VERY VIBRANT CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUR OLDER CHAMBER MEMBERS, IF THEY AREN'T SHOWING UP FOR STUFF WHEN THEY DO COME BACK, THEY'RE GOING TO NOTICE SO MANY NEW FACES. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW ANYBODY.

THIS IS OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH IT, YOU'LL RECOGNIZE A LOT OF THE NAMES ON THERE, BUT WE SINCERELY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY DO TO HELP US.

AND WE HAVE A LOT OF EX-OFFICIOS.

USED TO JUST BE A COUPLE OF THEM. WE'VE REALLY EXPANDED THAT AREA AND IT'S BEEN FANTASTIC GETTING THEIR REPORTS AND GETTING TO KIND OF FEEL THEIR INFLUENCE AND THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND CONNECTIONS. WE CONTINUE TO DO A LOT OF NETWORKING THIS YEAR LIKE THE CHAMBER IS EXPECTED TO AND ALWAYS DOES SO.

OUR MORNING WIN HAS STARTED OFF WITH A GREAT HEAD OF SPEED ON IT.

[00:05:05]

THIS ONE IS ONE OF OUR MOST OPEN TO ANYONE KIND OF FUNCTIONS WE DO FOR NETWORKING.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A CHAMBER MEMBER TO ATTEND THIS.

OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO RECRUIT YOU IF YOU KEEP SHOWING UP.

BUT THIS IS KIND OF AN OUTREACH NETWORKING THING WE DO AS WELL.

SOMETHING ELSE IS OUR LUNCH.

BUSINESS INSIDER'S NETWORKING THING PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH IT.

IT CONTINUES ON THIS YEAR AS WELL, AND PAIGE [INAUDIBLE] IS THE GROUP LEADER.

SHE HAS US BOOKED OUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH JUNE, AND A LOT OF EXCITING FOLKS LINED UP FOR IT. AND I LIKE THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE CHAMBER MEMBERS THAT WANT TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK AND GET IN FRONT OF FOLKS, BUT THEY MAY NOT JUST BE THE FIT FOR A LUNCHEON, AND THIS GIVES US A DIFFERENT PLATFORM FOR THEM TO GET OUT THERE.

AND SO WHAT DO WE HAVE COMING UP NEXT? CHUCK HEWITT, THE INCOMING CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, HE'S GOING TO COME TALK ABOUT SOME INSURANCE WISDOM.

PLEASE COME AND JOIN US IF YOU CAN.

SPEED NETWORKING IS OUR NEXT LUNCHEON.

WE DID HAVE THE FEDERAL RESERVE SIGNED UP FOR JANUARY.

THEY'RE ON LOCKDOWN DUE TO COVID STUFF.

WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS IN FEBRUARY.

WE JUST WE WOUND UP SWITCHING THOSE TWO MONTHS AT THE RISK OF MAYBE LOOKING LIKE WE'RE JUST FLYING STRAIGHT INTO COVID WITH SPEED NETWORKING WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT IT, WE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN TO HAVE PEOPLE DISTANCE AS BEST AS WE CAN.

BUT WE'RE KIND OF JUST THE CHAMBER'S MOVING FORWARD AND WE'RE OPEN.

AND SO WE'RE HAVING SPEED NETWORKING.

IT'S SUPER POPULAR AND COME JOIN US IF YOU CAN.

ALL RIGHTY. WE HAVE ALMOST LIKE A TEAM CHAPLAIN, PASTOR STERLING FROM WHITE CHAPEL.

HE'S BEEN A BOARD EX-OFFICIAL FOR A WHILE.

ANYWAY, HE WILL BE LEADING OUR NEXT PRAYER BREAKFAST, COMING UP ON THE FIRST THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH. WE APPRECIATE HIM.

OUR FIRST EVENT OF THE NEW YEAR IS GOING TO BE AIM FOR SAFETY.

IT'S NEXT MONTH ON FEBRUARY TWENTY FIFTH.

OUR GUEST SPEAKER IS REALLY AMAZING.

HE IS FROM THE FBI AND HE WAS ON THEIR HOSTAGE RESCUE TEAM, NEGOTIATOR.

HE'S KIND OF LIKE CHUCK NORRIS, AND HE'S AMAZING.

ANYTHING YOU EVER WANT TO KIND OF KNOW OR CONSIDER ABOUT ACTIVE SHOOTER BEING READY FOR IT. HE'S THE GUEST SPEAKER.

HE'S GOING TO BE REALLY GOOD. ALL RIGHTY.

SO IT SEEMS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF COMPASSION FOR THE RESTAURANTS OF SOUTHLAKE.

AFTER ALL, WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH AND THE CEF CONTINUES TO DO THEIR CULINARY AND I BELIEVE THE CITY HAS GOT SOMETHING COMING UP IN MARCH AS WELL, WHERE OUR LEADERSHIP SOUTHLAKE TEAM, IT'S ON THEIR HEART TO HELP RESTAURANTS TOO.

AND SO THAT'S THEIR ADVOCACY PROJECT IS GOING TO BE TO HELP SOMEHOW WITH OUR RESTAURANTS AS THEY RECOVER FROM THIS.

AND SO PERHAPS THERE'S WAYS WE'LL BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE CITY ON YOUR FUNCTION AS WELL.

NOT SURE, IT LOOKS LIKE, BUT THIS IS WHERE THEY'RE HEADING.

THEY WANT TO HELP THE RESTAURANTS.

I APPRECIATE WHAT THE HEART IS.

ALL RIGHTY. AND BACHELOR OF THE MONTH WAS FARAH [INAUDIBLE].

WE APPRECIATE FARAH. SHE SHOWS UP FOR SO MUCH STUFF AND CHEERS OTHERS ON.

SHE'S BEEN A GREAT ASSET TO THE CHAMBER, AND THEN OUR LAST MEMBER OF THE MONTH WAS JENNIFER MCCAULEY WITH INSPIRE PHYSICAL THERAPY AND WELLNESS.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE DOING THAT THIS YEAR AGAIN.

JOIN US EACH MONTH AND SEE WHO WILL BE FEATURED EACH TIME AND CONTINUE TO WORK.

RYAN DAVIS IS A WONDERFUL CINEMATOGRAPHER.

ALL RIGHTY. AND IN A NUTSHELL, WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR BEST THIS YEAR TO CONTINUE FOLLOWING OUR MISSION OF SERVING THE NEEDS OF BUSINESS.

SO. THERE'S YOUR KIND OF UPDATE ON WHERE WE'RE AT.

WE'RE UP AND RUNNING AND ANTICIPATING A REALLY GOOD YEAR.

THERE'S A LOT GOING ON AT THE CHAMBER AND WE'RE JUST LOOKING FORWARD, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? YOU GUYS ARE SUPER BUSY AND WE LOVE TO SEE IT.

CAN YOU, I KNOW IT WASN'T AN OFFICIAL CHAMBER FUNCTION.

BUT YOU JUST DESCRIBE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT PROCORE FITNESS WENT THROUGH AND WHAT YOU GUYS GOT TO WHAT WE ALL GOT TO SEE AT THE PALACE THEATER ON THURSDAY.

ABSOLUTELY. SO WE BUDDIED UP WITH PROCORE FITNESS TO DO THE LAST NETWORKING THING AT OUR BUSINESS EXCHANGE. BUT IS IT THE PALACE THEATER ON MAIN STREET.

SO THEY WENT TO MACHU PICCHU, TOOK THIS AMAZING TRIP AND WALKED THE INCA TRAIL LIKE ABOUT A THIRTY THREE MILE TRIP OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

INCREDIBLE. RYAN DAVIS VIDEOED THE WHOLE THING.

AND HE CARRIED HIS GEAR AROUND WITH HIM EVERYWHERE AND MADE THIS INCREDIBLE MOVIE.

IT'S REALLY SHORT, ABOUT 20 OR 30 MINUTES, BUT IT'S FASCINATING THIS TRIP THAT THEY TOOK.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID.

WE BUDDIED WITH THEM AND HAD THIS KIND OF RELEASE PARTY AT THE THEATER, AND IT WAS REALLY HEAVILY ATTENDED. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE THERE IT HAD IT BEEN AT TWO HUNDRED.

A COUPLE HUNDRED. YEAH, YEAH.

BUT AGAIN, IT'S SHOWCASE THIS WONDERFUL TRIP, ALL THESE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS.

AND AGAIN. RYAN DAVIS'S CINEMATOGRAPHY ONCE AGAIN.

I KNOW. IT'S REALLY SPECIAL.

LOOKS LIKE A GREAT TRIP. ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, COUNCIL?

[00:10:03]

MY THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.

OF COURSE. THANK YOU, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, WE'LL CALL WORK SESSION ITEM NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS THE SOUTHLAKE SISTER CITIES ARTWORK CONTEST WINNER SO.

THANK YOU.

[00:17:02]

LOVE THE GOOD WORK THAT SOUTHLAKE SISTER CITIES HAS BEEN DOING FOR A LONG TIME.

SO WITH THAT, WE'LL CALL WORK SESSION ITEM NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS A TRAFFIC STUDY

[5. Traffic Study Recommendation for the Mustang Drive Industrial Subarea]

AND WE'LL ASK DIRECTOR BAKER OR DIRECTOR COHAN? DIRECTOR COHAN, YOU'RE UP, SIR.

COME ON DOWN.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

I'M GOING TO BE PRESENTING WORK SESSION NUMBER FIVE THIS EVENING, WHICH IS THE MUSTANG INDUSTRIAL SUBAREA TRAFFIC SUMMARY.

TO START OFF, THOUGH, WE'LL SAY THAT OUR CONSULTANT, MR. JOHN DENHOLM OF LEE ENGINEERING, IS IN THE AUDIENCE AND IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR ANSWERING ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.

HE IS THE AUTHOR OF THE STUDY.

IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST REVIEW THE HISTORY OF THIS ITEM WITH YOU IN JUNE 1ST OF 2021, AS YOU RECALL, THERE WAS A SITE PLAN THAT CAME BEFORE YOU FROM MUSTANG PARK DEVELOPMENT.

THE OUTCOME OF THAT MEETING WAS ONE.

IT WAS INDEFINITELY TABLED IN TWO COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO DO AN ASSESSMENT OF THE MOBILITY CHALLENGES AT FULL BUILD OUT WITHIN THIS AREA.

AND SO OUR MEETING TONIGHT AND OUR PRESENTATION TO YOU THIS EVENING IS TO JUST.

PROVIDE YOU SOME INFORMATION AS TO WHAT WE FOUND THUS FAR IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY.

THERE'S STILL A LOT OF FEASIBILITY WORK THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE IN WHICH WE WILL RETURN WITH SOME MORE INFORMATION AND MOST LIKELY A RECOMMENDATION.

THE NEXT TWO SLIDES WILL WILL PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW AND SOME OF THE ITEMS AND ELEMENTS WITHIN THE STUDY ITSELF.

AND THEN WE'LL GO OVER SOME OF THE SCENARIOS THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO THIS ENDEAVOR.

THE STUDY IS VERY TECHNICAL, IT IS AN ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT, AND WE'RE STILL REVIEWING THE INFORMATION.

IT DID TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, AS WELL AS ANALYZING FUTURE TRAFFIC IMPACTS, WHICH INCLUDES THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SERVICE CENTER AT FULL OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY.

AGAIN, THE NEXT STEPS, AS WE DISCUSSED, WERE WE'LL ACTUALLY MEET WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS AND THE STRATEGIC PARTNERS TO TALK ABOUT FEASIBILITY OF SOME OF THESE SCENARIOS AND ALSO LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE, AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL. AND THEN ALSO TO CONSIDER ONCE WE DO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATION AND IF IT'S ACCEPTED, WE DO ANTICIPATE THE FUTURE A FUTURE AMENDMENT TO THE MOBILITY MASTER PLAN. THE STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS ARE IDENTIFIED OR CATEGORIES IN THREE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OR AREAS.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS A PRIORITIZATION OF WIDENING BRUMLOW TO ITS FINAL DISPOSITION OF A FOUR LANE DIVIDED ARTERIAL.

WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WIDENING THE SOUTH SOUTHBOUND APPROACH OF MUSTANG DRIVE ON 26. AND THERE WAS ALSO SOME RECOMMENDATIONS OF TURN LANE AND KEY INTERSECTION TURN LANE

[00:20:01]

THERE'S SOME RECOMMENDED SIGNAL TIMING OR INSTALLATIONS AT FUTURE INTERSECTIONS.

THE TIMING ALONG STATE HIGHWAY 26, AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL TO INSTALL OR CONSTRUCT NEW SIGNALS ALONG SOME OF THE INTERSECTIONS THAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT IN ONE OF THE SCENARIOS ONE, TWO AND THREE. AND THEN ALSO THERE'S ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINTS THAT DON'T EXIST NOW, BUT ALSO OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE THE MOBILITY IN AROUND THE SUBAREA OF STUDY.

THE SUBJECT. THE STUDY SPECIFICS INCLUDE IT WAS ASSUMED OF A 2030 BUILDOUT FOR THE AREA OF APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY TWO ACRES.

THE SUBAREA IS BOUNDED BY 26 TO THE SOUTH, KIMBALL TO THE EAST.

CONTINENTAL TO THE NORTH AND BRUMLOW TO THE WEST.

THE INTERSECTION STUDIED A REALLY COLOR CODED SO STATE HIGHWAY 26 TO KIMBALL.

THE RED TEXT CORRELATES TO THE RED CIRCLE ON THE MAP.

THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES NOT EXIST NOW IS ITEM E THE BRUMLOW AT WARWICK WAY AND HART, WHICH IS ORANGE, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A FEW MINUTES.

THE STUDY ELEMENTS REALLY ARE CATEGORIZED IN THREE DIFFERENT AREAS THE DATA COLLECTION THE CONSULTANT TOOK AM AND PM PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC COUNTS, AND THEY ALSO USED HISTORICAL INFORMATION. THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS WAS TYPICAL OF ANY TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS THAT YOU'LL SEE WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT.

I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE FOR THOSE.

AND THEN THE RECOMMENDATION'S DETERMINING WHETHER IF NEW ROADWAYS NEEDED TO BE CONSTRUCTED OR IDENTIFYING ANY IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE OR SHOULD BE MADE IN ORDER TO IMPROVE MOBILITY WITHIN THE AREA.

ALSO LOOKING AT SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE IN A SECOND.

SO THIS IS THE AREA OF MUSTANG AND STATE HIGHWAY 26, AGAIN, THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE BEING RECOMMENDED.

THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS REALLY THE OUTBOUND LANE FROM MUSTANG DRIVE, AND THERE'S TWO NUMBERS THAT YOU'LL SEE IN GREEN.

THE NUMBER ONE BASICALLY RELATES TO SIGNAL RE-TIMING.

WE KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT IF THE SIGNAL ALONG THE CORRIDOR IS RE-TIMED AND THEN TWO REFLECTS ACTUALLY INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS OR GEOGRAPHIC OR, I'M SORRY, GEOMETRIC IMPROVEMENT SUCH AS RE-STRIPING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, WHICH WOULD HELP SOME OF THE MOBILITY CHALLENGES WITH THE VEHICLES COMING IN AND OUT. THE PICTURE OVER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS ACTUALLY THE SOUTHBOUND APPROACH TO MUSTANG COURT.

THE NUMBER ONE REFERS TO RESIZING OF SOME OF THE LANES, I.E.

THROUGH RE-STRIPING.

THERE'S ALSO A MORE AGGRESSIVE APPROACH IS ACTUALLY PUSHING THE CURB LINE OUT ABOUT TWO FEET, AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT DOES TO SOME OF THE TURNING RADIUS.

YOU'LL ACTUALLY HAVE DIFFERENT RADIUS THERE, BUT THAT'S A LOT MORE EXTENSIVE CONSTRUCTION WHERE WHERE IT'LL IMPACT NOT ONLY THE ROADWAY, BUT ALSO THE RAIL.

AND SO THAT'S JUST ONE OPTION.

AGAIN, WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT THE FEASIBILITY OF A LOT OF THESE, THESE PROPOSALS AS WELL AS WE'LL STILL NEED TO TALK TO OUR PARTNERS REGARDING WHAT IS FEASIBLE AND WHAT'S WITHIN THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE REALM.

SO THIS IS SCENARIO ONE, SCENARIO ONE OF THREE.

AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE AREA THAT WE'RE FOCUSED ON IS REALLY THE AREA THAT'S IN RED OR MAROON. THE UPSIDE DOWN L IN GREEN IS IS THE ROUGH AREA OF THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE CENTER AND THE ASSUMPTIONS ARE BASICALLY THERE'S ACCESS TO 26 VIA TO BRUMLOW VIA HART.

AND WHAT THIS SCENARIO IS MEANT TO COMMUNICATE IS THAT THERE'S AN ASSUMPTION THAT THIS SUBAREA RIGHT HERE WOULD BE DIVIDED IN TWO SOMEHOW TO WHERE TRAFFIC NORTH OF THAT LINE OF DEMARCATION WOULD ACTUALLY PROGRESS TO THE WEST AND THEN UP TO THE NORTH THROUGH A NEW ROADWAY AND THEN OUT TO THE WEST ALONG HART STREET.

AND THEN IT WOULD ULTIMATELY INTERSECT INTO BRUMLOW AND WARWICK WAY.

THE TRAFFIC AROUND THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT THEN WOULD BASICALLY GO STRAIGHT OUT TO MUSTANG AND THEN STATE HIGHWAY 26.

THERE ARE IMPACTS, OBVIOUSLY TO THIS PROPOSAL.

YOU'LL BE CROSSING A FLOOD PLAIN AS WELL AS THERE'S TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL THAT WILL MOST LIKELY BE NEEDED AT SOME POINT IN TIME, PROBABLY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER AT THE WARWICK, HART, BRUMLOW INTERSECTION WHERE THIS ORANGE DOT IS.

SO THAT SCENARIO ONE.

SCENARIO TWO BUILDS ON SCENARIO ONE TO THE POINT WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF TRAFFIC MOVEMENTS. BUT WHAT'S INCLUDED NOW IS THIS LINE THAT ACTUALLY EXTENDS TO THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SERVICE CENTER, WHICH PUNCHES OUT THROUGH BRUMLOW.

AGAIN, THE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES REMAIN THE SAME SCENARIO ONE, BUT THERE WILL ALSO BE TRAFFIC CONTROL AT MUSTANG DRIVE AND AT BRUMLOW, WHICH IS GOING TO BE THE EXTENSION OF MUSTANG WHERE IT INTERSECTS RIGHT HERE.

[00:25:01]

AND THEN ALSO PART OF THIS ENDEAVOR AND PART OF THE THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPTION IS GOING TO BE FELT ONCE BRUMLOW IS WIDENED TO ITS FINAL DISPOSITION, WHICH WOULD BE A FOUR LANE DIVIDED ARTERIAL.

AND THEN THE LAST SCENARIO AGAIN BUILDS ON SCENARIOS ONE AND TWO.

THIS AFFORDS ACCESS TO 26 OVER HERE SHOWN IN THE GREEN DOT.

THIS ACTUALLY PUNCHES OUT THROUGH BRUMLOW AGAIN ACROSS THE SERVICE CENTER, AS IN THE PREVIOUS SCENARIO.

IT ALSO PUNCHES OUT TO HART AS IN THE FIRST SCENARIO.

BUT WHAT YOU HAVE NOW IS A NEW LEG THAT ACTUALLY PUNCHES NORTH OUT TO CONTINENTAL.

SO AGAIN, YOU HAVE THE SAME IMPACT TWO SCENARIOS ONE AND TWO.

IT WAS DETERMINED FROM THE TRAFFIC COUNTS AND A LOT OF THE ANALYSIS THAT THIS IS THE MOST BENEFICIAL IN TERMS OF REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DELAY THROUGH THIS DEVELOPED AREA.

BUT AGAIN, WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO, AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO COMING BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

THAT PRETTY MUCH INCLUDES THE OVERVIEW TO COUNCIL.

I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR IF WE, IF APPLICABLE, I CAN ACTUALLY CALL JOHN UP AS WELL TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR COHAN? DIRECTOR COHEN, WILL YOU BE DOING THIS ANALYSIS THIS FURTHER ANALYSIS WITH ANY TYPE OF FOCUS GROUP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT FROM LOCAL RESIDENTS IN THE AREA? OR WHAT'S THE STRATEGY THERE? YES, SIR. WE'RE GOING TO STEP THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS DO WITH THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

WHAT WE REALLY HAVE TO DO, THOUGH, IS WE HAVE TO GET A CONSULTANT ON BOARD TO START LOOKING THROUGH SOME OF THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGES TO FIGURE OUT IF ANY OF THESE ARE REALLY FEASIBLE. WE'VE GOT FLOODPLAIN THAT WE HAVE TO CROSS.

WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT TALKING WITH THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE AMENABLE TO AS WELL.

SO WE HAVE SOME DIALOG, BUT YES, SIR, THAT'S OUR PLAN, AS WELL AS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE ENGAGED IN THIS EFFORT BECAUSE IT WILL IMPACT THEM OFF OF WARWICK.

GREAT. THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

I ACTUALLY THINK WE HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT FOR WORK SESSION ITEM NUMBER FIVE, MR. SCHILLING. DIRECTOR COHAN IF I CAN GO AHEAD AND CALL MR. MR. SCHILLING, WHO'S GOING TO TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN HERE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, MARTIN SCHILLING TWO SIX SIX FIVE NORTH WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

SO EVERYTHING THAT WAS NORTH OF THE DART RIGHT OF WAY ON MUSTANG, WHAT WAS SOUTH OF IT WAS DONE WITH THE STATE HIGHWAY 26, WHAT WAS NORTH, I WAS IN CHARGE OF COORDINATING THAT.

SO THE SOUTHWESTERN STREET THAT GOES DOWN TO NUSTAR THAT FRONTS THE PUBLIC STORAGE AND THEN WERE AT THE TIME IT WAS CONOCO WHICH WOULD BE TO THE EAST.

WE HAD TO DO SOME LAND SWAPS WITH THEM.

SO JOE WRIGHT DEDICATED THE RIGHT OF WAY.

NUSTAR ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE PAVING TO GO DOWN THERE WITH CONOCO.

THEY DID. THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO A LOT OF WORK, BUT THEY HAD TO GET ENOUGH ACCESS TO GET TO THE RIGHT OF WAY.

SO THAT WAS ALL A CONSOLIDATION OF DRIVEWAYS.

PRIOR TO THAT, NONE OF THE TERMINALS HAD A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION TO GET OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND OUT ON THE 26.

BASICALLY, THEY HAD TO JUMP INTO THE TRAFFIC WHENEVER THEY COULD, AND THEY COULDN'T GET THE RIG OVER THE TRACKS BECAUSE THERE WERE STILL TRAIN TRAFFIC ON THERE.

AT THE TIME, WE HAD A REALLY GOOD IT WAS ACTUALLY DIAMOND SHAMROCK, NOT NUSTAR, BUT WE HAD A REALLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THOSE FOLKS, WRIGHT DEVELOPMENT.

JOE WRIGHT HAD BEEN AROUND THEM FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

I FIND IT STRANGE THAT WE OPENED THIS IN LATE 2001.

I THINK THE SIGNALIZATION TIMING IS INADEQUATE.

IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT.

BUT SINCE 2001, THEY'VE BEEN OPERATING THERE, SAME SCENARIO.

AND WHY HAVE WE NOT COME TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE OR COME TO TXDOT AT AN EARLIER DATE AND SAID, YOU KNOW, WE NEED HELP HERE? AND THEN WHEN PUBLIC STORAGE CAME IN, THEY WEREN'T HERE, WHICH THAT ADDS MORE TRAFFIC.

THEY'VE ALWAYS KNOWING KNOWN THAT IT'S GOING TO DEVELOP, IT'S ON THE LAND USE PLAN IS INDUSTRIAL, IT'S ZONED I1 FIGHT NOW.

LET'S JUST SAY IT GOES TO FLEX PLACE.

IT GOES TO OFFICE. I MEAN, IT'S GOT TO GO TO SOMETHING.

IT'S ALL GOING TO CREATE TRAFFIC.

SO, YOU KNOW, THE LAST GUY IN ALWAYS GETS THE CLEAN UP THE THE PROBLEM, RIGHT? A LOT OF TIMES OR MOST OF THE TIME IS DRAINAGE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T YEARS AGO ACCOMMODATE IT. WELL, THIS HAPPENS TO BE TRAFFIC.

SO, YOU KNOW, THE WRIGHT FAMILY IS THE LAST ONE IN.

AND IT'S REALLY NOT FAIR.

THEIR ATTITUDE AND THEIR COMMENTS ARE DISINGENUOUS BECAUSE THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT IT THAN WHAT THEY'RE LETTING US KNOW.

AND THEY'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT THE PROPERTY IS GOING TO DEVELOP.

SO I'M IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY.

I MEAN, IT'S A IT'S AN ELEPHANT THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN BY MANY BITES.

THERE'S MANY PHASES TO IT YOU CAN PICK AND CHOOSE.

[00:30:05]

AND IF WE DON'T HAVE A SITE PLAN AND A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT FOR THE WRIGHT PROPERTY, THEN WE DON'T HAVE A ROUTE THAT CAN GET OUT TO 26.

AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, THEN IT REALLY BECOMES PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW, HOW DO I GET THERE? BUT YOU GOT WILLING PARTIES RIGHT NOW.

ROB AND HIS TEAM HAVE BEEN VERY ACCOMMODATING.

THE WRIGHTS, THE BROOKFIELD.

EVERYBODY'S STILL IN TOW.

I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO MAKE ALL THIS WORK.

IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING AS FAST AS EVERYBODY WANTS IT TO, BUT.

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE FIGHTING THE PROJECT.

AGAIN, I THINK IT'S AN OVERREACH, AND OBVIOUSLY THE WRIGHTS HAVE SOME ENTITLEMENTS ON THEIR PROPERTY. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP IT.

SO I KNOW YOU'VE GOT YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU.

I APPRECIATE IT. I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR ATTENTION.

I KNOW THIS IS JUST A HIGH LEVEL, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS AVAILABLE.

I'M AVAILABLE. I PROBABLY HAVE AS MUCH HISTORY IN THE AREA AS ANYBODY BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE IS RETIRED, SO.

BUT ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING THIS ALL WORK.

ABSOLUTELY. THANKS, MARTIN.

APPRECIATE YOU. OK, COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AT THIS POINT? I KNOW WE HAVE DR.

COHAN. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FULL STUDY AND SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FROM STAFF AS WE GO FORWARD. YES, SIR. THERE'S GOING TO BE KIND OF IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT WITH THE SITE PLAN. IT MAY NOT BE COMING, I BELIEVE THE SITE PLAN'S COMING NEXT.

NEXT MEETING, I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE IT THAT FASTER.

OK. OK, SO IN ALL HONESTY.

ALL RIGHT. BUT YOU GUYS WILL CONTINUE TRACKING ON A PARALLEL? YES, SIR. WE WILL.

OK. QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR.

APPRECIATE YOU, SIR. YES, SIR.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE THE GOOD WORK.

OK, WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO WORK SESSION ITEM SIX, WHICH IS DISCUSSING ALL THE ITEMS

[6. Discuss all items on tonight's agenda. No action will be taken and each item will be considered during the Regular Session.]

SO WE HAVE ITEM 4A APPROVED IN THE MINUTES FROM THE JANUARY 4TH 2022 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING. ITEM FOUR B RESOLUTION NUMBER 22-001 APPOINT A CHAIRPERSON FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR TAX INCREMENT REIMBURSEMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE FOR THE 2022 CALENDAR YEAR.

DO WE, KEN DO WE NEED TO APPOINT VICE CHAIR OR ANY OF THAT? YES. AMY TORRE-LEPP, AND THE VICE CHAIR MS. AMY TORRES-LEPP.

ANY OTHER OFFICERS? WE JUST HANDED OUT POSITIONS LEFT AND RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. SO SO THAT'LL BE, I GUESS, PART OF THE MOTION.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 212 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, THE CITY COUNCIL IS APPROVING THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO EXTEND THE 30 DAY PLAT APPROVAL PERIOD, AN ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS BEGINNING ON THE DATE ON WHICH THE EXTENSION WAS REQUESTED, WHICH WAS JANUARY 17TH 2022 WITH THIS APPROVAL OF THE 30 DAY EXTENSION. ITEM NINE A ON THE AGENDA WILL BE TABLED TO CITY COUNCIL'S FEBRUARY 1ST 2022 MEETING PER THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST.

OK, SO THAT IS GOING ON CONSENT TO TABLE? YES, SIR. OK, SO I KNOW A NUMBER OF YOU ARE HERE FROM FOR ITEM NINE A.

BUT JUST SO YOU'RE CLEAR ON THAT, WE'RE GOING TO BE TABLING IT ON THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO THE FEBRUARY FIRST CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

SO IF YOU'RE HERE TO TALK ON THAT, YOU GOT THE NIGHT OFF.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY AND HANG OUT, BUT WE WON'T.

WE CERTAINLY WON'T FORCE YOU.

SO WITH THAT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CALL ITEM 3A, WHICH IS THE MAYOR'S REPORT.

I'VE GOT TWO THINGS I WANT TO DISCUSS TONIGHT.

THE FIRST IS IT IS THE DAWN OF ANOTHER ELECTION SEASON, AND I KNOW HERE IN AMERICA WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE CONSTANTLY IN ELECTION SEASON.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING INTO INTO IT RIGHT NOW.

SO I WANTED TO JUST GO OVER A FEW DATES FOR EVERYBODY WHO IS IN THE CROWD AND WATCHING AT HOME. SO WE HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT ELECTIONS COMING UP.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAVE A PRIMARY ELECTION AND THAT ELECTION IS MARCH THE 1ST 2022.

THE REGISTRATION FOR THAT ELECTION IS JANUARY THIRTY FIRST.

SO IF YOU HAVEN'T REGISTERED TO VOTE IN YOUR PRIMARY, PLEASE DO SO BY JANUARY 31ST.

EARLY VOTING, WHICH I BELIEVE A POLLING LOCATION WILL BE IN SOUTHLAKE TOWN HALL LIKE IT ALWAYS IS, THAT STARTS ON FEBRUARY 14TH.

SO THEN WE ROLL INTO THE SOUTHLAKE GENERAL ELECTION FILING FOR THAT STARTS TOMORROW, AND A FEW COUNCIL MEMBERS UP HERE WILL BE FILING FOR REELECTION AND WE'LL HAVE SCHOOL BOARD RACES AS WELL. SO LOCAL ELECTIONS, GUYS, AS YOU KNOW, ARE SUPER IMPORTANT.

IN FACT, MOST OF THE THINGS THAT AFFECT YOUR LIFE ARE DONE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, WHETHER THAT CITY COUNCIL OR SCHOOL BOARD.

SO, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY WE SEE MUCH, MUCH HIGHER TURNOUT AT GENERAL ELECTIONS THAN WE DO IN LOCAL ELECTIONS, WHICH IS QUITE CURIOUS AND A LITTLE OFFENSIVE, HURTFUL TO ME.

BUT I REALLY ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY MAKE PLANS TO COME OUT MAY 7, 2022 THIS YEAR.

REGISTRATION FOR THAT IS THURSDAY, APRIL THE 7TH.

THAT'S THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE.

BUT SINCE ALL OF YOU ARE GOING TO BE REGISTERED FOR THE PRIMARY, YOU WON'T EVEN HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE, OF COURSE, THE UNIFORM ELECTION DATE, THE NOVEMBER ELECTION DATE FOR THE GENERAL ELECTIONS COMING UP IN IN NOVEMBER.

SO GUYS, WE KNOW VOTING IS JUST BEDROCK TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

I URGE EVERYONE TO IF YOU HAVEN'T REGISTERED, PLEASE DO SO.

IF YOU HAVEN'T PUT THESE ON YOUR CALENDAR, PLEASE DO SO.

COME OUT AND EARLY VOTE. IT TAKES 5, 10 MINUTES TOPS UNLESS YOU WAIT UNTIL ELECTION DAY, THEN IT'S GOING TO TAKE AN HOUR. BUT THAT'S KIND OF YOUR FAULT.

SO COME OUT EARLY, PLEASE, AND VOTE AND PARTICIPATE IN OUR WONDERFUL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT. SO THAT'S VOTING ELECTION SEASON.

THE SECOND THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT, ACTUALLY, IS THE REASON WHY ALL THESE MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE UNIFORMS ARE IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM.

YOU KNOW, ON SATURDAY, WE EXPERIENCED AS A COMMUNITY AN EVENT THAT WAS REALLY FOR ME.

IT WAS VERY SURREAL. I'M SURE IT WAS FOR YOU TOO.

IT IT FELT LIKE UNBELIEVABLE IN THE LITERAL SENSE, LIKE YOU COULDN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN OUR BACKYARD, RIGHT? RUMORS CAME OUT EARLY MID, MID-MORNING AND MIDDAY, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS THE TOP OF EVERY SINGLE NATIONAL NEWS FEED AND SOCIAL MEDIA, AND WE WATCHED AS MALIK AKRAM, WHO WAS A BRITISH CITIZEN AS IT COMES OUT.

AS IT TURNS OUT, HE CAME TO COLLEYVILLE, WHICH IS LESS THAN FIVE MILES FROM WHERE WE'RE SITTING RIGHT NOW AND COMMITTED AN ACT OF TERRORISM AGAINST THE JEWISH COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY THE CONGREGATION AT CONGREGATION BETH ISRAEL.

AND IF YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN LIKE ME, YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THE HOSTAGES ACCOUNT, INCLUDING INCLUDING THE RABBI'S ACCOUNT.

AND IT'S IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND TO IMAGINE BEING IN THEIR SHOES. AND REALLY, I FEEL LIKE IT'S CHALLENGED ALL OF US WITH SOME QUESTIONS.

YOU KNOW, HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN HERE IN OUR QUIET CORNER OF TARRANT COUNTY? VERY, VERY SURREAL.

YOU KNOW, ALSO CAUSES YOU TO QUESTION WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE.

YOU KNOW, I ASK MYSELF, WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE IN THAT SITUATION WOULD I'VE SHOWN THE SAME CALMNESS AND STRENGTH OF CHARACTER AND THE SAME BRAVERY AS THE HOSTAGES DID? AND, YOU KNOW, ALSO JUST ON A HUMAN LEVEL, HOW DOES SOMEONE'S HEART BECOME SO FILLED WITH HATE THAT THEY FEEL LIKE THEY THAT ACT OF TERRORISM NEEDS TO BE THEIR FINAL ACT ON THIS PLANET? JUST IT'S VERY, VERY SAD.

BUT I KNOW AS MAYOR AND WE AS CITY COUNCIL ARE SO THANKFUL FOR OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM WHO BROUGHT THAT TERROR ACT OF TERRORISM AND THAT TRAGIC EVENT TO A PEACEFUL CONCLUSION FOR THE HOSTAGES.

YOU KNOW, THAT INCLUDED YOU, AS YOU GUYS MIGHT KNOW, A NUMBER OF SOUTHLAKE POLICE OFFICERS AND MEDICS WHO ARE PART OF THE REGIONAL SWAT RESPONSE AND CERTAINLY THROUGHOUT

[00:40:04]

YOU KNOW, AND REALLY, REALLY KIND OF RAISES SOME OTHER QUESTIONS HOW AT A TIME WHERE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS NEVER BEEN SO INTRUSIVE INTO OUR LIVES WAS A KNOWN CRIMINAL FROM BRITAIN ALLOWED TO GET ON A PLANE AND FLY TO THE U.S.

? THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT I HOPE WE'LL HAVE ANSWERS TO AND SATISFACTORY ANSWERS.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT RABBI CHARLIE AND HIS CONGREGANTS, YOU KNOW, WHO WERE HELD HOSTAGE.

THEY CONDUCTED THEMSELVES WITH SUCH SUCH BRAVERY AND SUCH STRENGTH AND AND NOT ONLY DURING THE CRISIS, BUT ALSO IN RABBI CHARLIE'S MESSAGE.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU CAUGHT IT LAST NIGHT AT THE UNITY SERVICE.

IT WAS A MESSAGE OF, YOU KNOW, OF UNITY AND NOT HATE, A MESSAGE OF HEALING AND NOT DIVISION, AND THE FACT THAT HE WAS ABLE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THE WORLD AT THAT POINT AND DELIVER THOSE WORDS WAS REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL TO WATCH.

SO WE, AS A CITY WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH AND WHATEVER THEY NEED. AND I HOPE THAT EVERYONE WATCHING HERE AND ALSO AT HOME WILL JOIN COUNCIL IN SUPPORTING CONGREGATION BETH ISRAEL PERSONALLY WITH WHATEVER WHATEVER THEY NEED. AND CERTAINLY THEY WILL NEED OUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE GOING FORWARD.

SO THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THE OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING RESOURCES IN WAYS WE CAN ALSO SUPPORT IN THE FUTURE.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL GO AHEAD AND TURN IT OVER TO CITY MANAGER SHANA YELVERTON, WHO HAS A

[3. REPORTS]

WELL, MAYOR, I JUST LIKE TO ASK CHIEF CASEY TO STEP FORWARD AND TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE OFFICERS HERE.

WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE THEM AND MAYBE TAKE A PHOTO WITH ALL OF YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU, SHANA.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.

I WANT TO FIRST THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OUR OFFICERS OVER THE YEARS.

IT'S BEEN AN IMPORTANT PART OF WHY WE GET TO DO WHAT WE DO AND ARE SUCCESSFUL AT IT.

WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THE PROFESSIONALISM, DEDICATION AND HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICE OUR POLICE OFFICERS PROVIDE TO THE COMMUNITY EACH AND EVERY DAY.

YOU WON'T MEET A MORE COMMITTED GROUP OF PEOPLE, AND THEY TAKE THEIR ROLE AS GUARDIANS AND PROTECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY SERIOUSLY.

YOU OFTEN HEAR ABOUT THE THIN BLUE LINE.

WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM, YOU'LL SEE IT.

AND SOMETIMES THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT STAND BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.

THE INCIDENT THIS PAST SATURDAY IN COLLEYVILLE DEMONSTRATES JUST HOW IMPORTANT AND HOW STRONG OUR PARTNERSHIPS ARE WITH OUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THIS AREA, AS WELL AS WITH OUR STATE AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS.

THE WORK WE'VE ALL DONE OVER THE YEARS TO FOSTER THESE RELATIONSHIPS AFFORDS US THE ABILITY TO QUICKLY DEPLOY THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO EFFECTIVELY RESPOND TO A CRISIS OR A MAJOR INCIDENT. WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE WORK OUR OFFICERS DID THIS PAST SATURDAY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE POSITIVE OUTCOME.

SOUTHLAKE OFFICERS ASSISTED ON THAT SCENE IN A VARIETY OF ROLES.

SOME ACTED AS OPERATORS ON THE NORTH TARRANT REGIONAL SWAT TEAM.

SOME WERE HOSTAGE NEGOTIATORS THAT ASSISTED AND OTHERS HELD THE PERIMETER.

AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, THE TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY WERE PRETTY FRIGID AND IT WAS EXTREMELY WINDY AND WE HAD SNOW FLURRIES, SO THESE GUYS AND GALS BASICALLY STOOD OUT THERE IN THAT WEATHER FOR 12 TO 13 HOURS UNTIL THEIR OBJECTIVES WERE MET UNDER REALLY, REALLY TOUGH CONDITIONS, TO SAY THE LEAST.

WE HAVE A FEW OF THOSE OFFICERS WITH THIS THIS EVENING, NOT ALL OF THEM COULD BE HERE, BUT FOR THE ONES THAT COULD BE.

I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THEM AND THE OTHER OFFICERS WHO ARE INVOLVED.

SO WHEN I CALL THEIR NAMES, I'D LIKE THEM.

I THINK THEY'RE ALL STANDING, SO IF THEY WOULD JUST RAISE THEIR HAND WHEN I CALL THEIR NAMES. THE FIRST IS CAPTAIN JOSE LUNA.

HE'S ACTUALLY THE COMMANDER OF OUR NORTH TARRANT REGIONAL SWAT TEAM.

CAPTAIN JASON HENNINGER, SERGEANT GALEN MUSIC, SERGEANT TYLER SEWELL, SERGEANT CHRIS MILTON, CORPORAL JOSH ELLIS, CORPORAL BLAS HERNANDEZ, OFFICER NATE ANDERSON, OFFICER BRETT ROBERSON, OFFICER ALBERT HERNANDEZ, OFFICER CRAIG D'AMICO, OFFICER TREY HARRIS, OFFICER NIKKI LOCKWOOD, OFFICER BRANT CARLSON AND OFFICER CARTER HARROD.

IN ADDITION TO OUR OFFICERS, TWO MEMBERS OF OUR SOUTHLAKE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALSO ASSISTED WITH THE SCENE, AND THOSE ARE FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC JOHN CASEY, WHO'S A SWAT TECH MEDIC AND BATTALION CHIEF RICKY DAVIS.

SO PLEASE JOIN ME IN THANKING THESE OFFICERS FOR THEIR HARD WORK THIS PAST SATURDAY.

[APPLAUSE] AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR ME.

WELL, THANKS, CHIEF. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU.

AND OF COURSE, WE WE ARE HONORED TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR INCREDIBLE OFFICERS.

[00:45:04]

ALL RIGHT. COME ON DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, CHIEF CASEY, APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO BRING YOUR OFFICERS.

IT'S A GOOD REMINDER OF WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN LIFE.

YOU KNOW, WE ALL GO ABOUT OUR OUR DAYS AND SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, THINGS HAPPEN TO KIND OF SHAKE US UP AND GIVE US SOME PERSPECTIVE.

SO. VERY, VERY GOOD.

OK. SO WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT WE PUT ON CONSENT AGENDA.

THERE ARE LISTED AS SEPARATE ITEMS. ONE IS 9A.

AS WE DISCUSSED AND THAT WAS TABLE.

THE OTHER IS 9B, WHICH I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK.

SO I WANTED TO BRING UP DIRECTOR BAKER BEFORE WE GET INTO A MOTION ON CONSENT.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT 9B AND THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OUT, OF COURSE, BUT I KNOW SOME OF YOU SHOWED UP TO SPEAK ON 9B, SO I WANT AND THAT'S THE HARBOR OAKS CASE OR THE CONSERVATION CASE.

SO I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AND TO ADDRESS COUNCIL IN A PUBLIC FORUM HEARING ON THIS CASE, WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH A FEW ITEMS ABOUT THE CASE.

FIRST, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO A FULL REVIEW OF IT, BUT I DO WANT TO KIND OF TOUCH BASE ON SOME QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN BECAUSE WE HAVE GOTTEN A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS AND SOME FEEDBACK. SO KEN, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE US LIKE THE THIRTY THOUSAND FOOT OVERVIEW, KIND OF WHAT'S IN FRONT OF US.

I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROCESS AND THEN ASK YOU AND THE CITY ATTORNEY SOME QUESTIONS JUST TO CLARIFY.

SO IF YOU COULD JUST GIVE US THE OVERVIEW AND THEN WE'LL GO FROM THERE? YES, SIR MAYOR.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE CONSERVATION.

THE PRELIMINARY PLAT CONFORMS TO THE ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED APPROVED LAST YEAR.

THE LAND USE PLAN HAS LOW DENSITY AND THERE IS THE PUD ZONING IN PLACE ON THE PROPERTY.

JUST AN AERIAL VIEW.

THIS IS THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

THE PLAT IS IN SUBSTANTIAL CONFORMANCE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

AS SUCH, THERE ARE NO VARIANCES TO THE PLAT.

OTHER INFORMATION THAT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET ARE THE TREE CONSERVATION PLAN.

THE P&Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SEVEN ZERO, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO VARIANCES.

THIS IS A MINISTERIAL ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL.

IT'S CALLED WHAT IS A CLEAN PLAT.

WE DID NOTIFY PER OUR ORDINANCE.

THIS IS THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS RESPONSES.

BUT THIS, AS MENTIONED, IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING ACTION DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

NO VARIANCES ARE REQUESTED.

IT'S MINISTERIAL NATURE AND CONSIDERED A CLEAN PLAT.

OK, PERFECT. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, KEN. SO JUST TO KIND OF SUMMARIZE WHAT DIRECTOR BAKER SAID AND WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS, AND SO THIS IS WHERE WE GET A LITTLE WONKY WITH THE WHOLE LAND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE ALL OF US WHO ARE PROPERTY OWNERS OWN PROPERTY THAT ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RIGHTS, RIGHT?

[00:50:03]

THAT'S OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS, KIND OF OUR BASELINE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

NOW, WHEN WE GET INTO PLATTING, THAT'S NOT USE, THAT'S DESIGN.

SO A PLAT THAT'S FILED IN THIS CASE FOR A SUBDIVISION IS IT DOESN'T ADDRESS THE USE OF THE LAND AT ALL, AND IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE USE OF THE LAND AT ALL.

IF IT'S CLEAN, THEN ALL IT IS IS SHOWING THE PROPERTY OWNER SHOWING THE CITY HOW THEY ARE GOING TO DESIGN ALL OF THEIR LOTS.

AND SO ALL WE DO AS A CITY IS EVALUATE WHETHER THAT DESIGN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING.

AND SO IN THIS CASE, THEY HAVE SUBMITTED A CLEAN PRELIMINARY PLAT.

AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY'RE ALREADY ALLOWED TO DO BY RIGHT VIA THEIR ZONING.

SO THERE'S NOTHING COUNCIL CAN DO AT THIS POINT BUT APPROVE.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT DENIAL OR APPROVING WITH CONDITIONS, BUT HERE'S THE THING. THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE LAW, AND I'LL ASK CITY ATTORNEY TO KIND OF CHIME IN ON THIS. THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE LAW CALLED A REGULATORY TAKING, AND THAT IS WHEN A CITY OR ANY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY DENIES YOU YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT YOU HAVE VIA ZONING, WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH DENIAL OF A PLAT, FOR INSTANCE, OR DENIAL OF SOME OF THE RIGHT FOR YOU TO USE YOUR LAND. IF IF THE CITY OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY DOES THAT, WE CAN BE SUBJECT TO AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF LIABILITY.

IN FACT, THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO VOTE TO DENY A PROPERTY OWNER ANY PROPERTY OWNER THEIR LAWFUL RIGHT TO USE THEIR LAND IS SUBJECT TO PERSONAL LIABILITY THAT THE LAW TAKES THAT THAT SERIOUSLY.

SO IT'S A REALLY, REALLY BIG DEAL WHENEVER WE SEE A CLEAN PLAT.

THIS IS A PRELIMINARY PLAT AND WHATEVER IT'S CLEAN.

WE HAVE NO DISCRETION.

IT'S JUST LIKE DIRECTOR BAKER SAID, A MINISTERIAL ACTION.

AND THAT'S WHY THIS IS MOVED TO CONSENT, BECAUSE THERE'S NO THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO AT THIS POINT ABOUT IT.

CITY ATTORNEY ALAN TAYLOR, CAN YOU JUST MAYBE GIVE A LITTLE FLESH TO THAT? YES, SIR. THE COUNCIL IS OBVIOUSLY CONSIDERED A NUMBER OF PLATS IN THE PAST WHERE WE'VE HAD THESE SAME GENERAL CONVERSATIONS, BUT TEXAS LAW IS STRUCTURED IN A WAY THAT THAT OUR RIGHT TO CONTROL LAND DESIGN IS FOUND IN CHAPTER 212 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, AND IT SPECIFICALLY PROVIDES THAT A CITY CAN DEVELOP AND ADOPT A SET OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS THAT SET OUT THE RULES, RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR LAYING OUT LOTS BLOCKS IN A SUBDIVISION, AND WHAT TYPE OF PUBLIC WORKS INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE INSTALLED WITHIN THAT SUBDIVISION. ONCE THE CITY ADOPTS THOSE REGULATIONS, THEY ARE THE BASELINE THAT A DEVELOPER OR APPLICANT MUST MEET WHEN THEY MAKE A PLAT SUBMITTAL, AS THE PLANNING DIRECTOR HAS POINTED OUT.

IF A PLAT IS SUBMITTED THAT IS FULLY COMPLIANT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR ORDINANCE.

WE HAVE NO DISCRETION.

CHAPTER 212 AND SECTION ZERO ZERO FIVE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDES THAT IF A PLAT IS SUBMITTED THAT IS COMPLIANT WITH THE UNDERLYING RULES OR REGULATIONS OF THE CITY, THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY SHALL APPROVE THE PLAT.

THAT'S WHY WE SAY IT IS A MINISTERIAL DUTY.

IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN ZONING, IN ZONING.

WE HAVE SUBJECTIVE LEGISLATIVE DISCRETION.

WE CAN CONSIDER AN ARRAY OF DIFFERENT FACTORS IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD APPROVE, DISAPPROVE OR MODIFY A DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

BUT ONCE WE HAVE A PLAT, IF THE PLAT SUBMITTAL IS FULLY COMPLIANT, WE HAVE AN AFFIRMATIVE DUTY TO APPROVE IT.

AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS BEEN VERY ZEALOUS IN PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF DEVELOPERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

IN THE MOST RECENT LEGISLATIVE SESSION, WE HAD THE GIFT OF HOUSE BILL THIRTY ONE SIXTY SEVEN, WHICH GOES ON TO TELL US IF A CITY COUNCIL DECIDES TO DENY OR TO CONDITIONALLY APPROVE A PLAT.

WE HAVE TO DO IT WITHIN 30 DAYS OF SUBMISSION, AND WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THE APPLICANT OR DEVELOPER WITH A LETTER SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFYING THE SECTION AND PROVISION OF THE CITY SUBDIVISION REGULATION ORDINANCE THAT THE PLAT PROPOSAL IS NON-COMPLIANT WITH IN TERMS OF ITS SUBMITTAL. AND IF WE DON'T DO THAT EFFECTIVELY AND DON'T DOCUMENT A SPECIFIC SECTION, IT'S AUTOMATICALLY APPROVED BY OPERATION OF LAW.

IF WE DENY A PLAT IMPROPERLY, A DEVELOPER CAN BRING A LAWSUIT AND IT WILL BE DECIDED ON SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND THEY CAN RECOVER THEIR COSTS AND THEIR ATTORNEY'S FEES IN BRINGING THE ACTION. BUT MORE FRIGHTENINGLY, AS WE'VE DISCUSSED IN SOME OTHER CASES, IF WE.

ENGAGE IN A DEVELOPMENT REVIEW, ACTIVITY IN WHICH WE IMPROPERLY DENY A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION. THEN, AS THE MAYOR POINTED OUT, IT CAN RESULT IN A REGULATORY TAKING AND THE

[00:55:03]

THAT COULD BE QUITE AN ENORMOUS SUM OF MONEY FOR ACREAGE IN SOUTHLAKE.

SO WE'RE ALWAYS VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN WE'RE DEALING WITH PLATTING ISSUES TO ENSURE WE STAY INSIDE THE CURB LINES AND ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT.

THE CITY STAFF HAS RECENTLY RECEIVED A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS CONCERNING CERTAIN SPECIFIC ISSUES. ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY IS PROVIDED OVER LOT 10 OUT OF HARBOR OAKS AND AN INDIVIDUAL SAID, WHY ARE YOU NOT REQUIRING THAT IT BE PLATED? UNDER OUR SUBDIVISION REGULATION ORDINANCE THE MERE EXTENSION OF A PRIVATE ACCESS DRIVE ACROSS A PIECE OF PROPERTY DOES NOT CONSTITUTE THE ACT OF SUBDIVISION AND THEREFORE THERE IS NO DIVISION OF OWNERSHIP.

THE PERSON WHO OWNS ANY LOT CAN PUT AN ACCESS DRIVE ON THAT LOT.

UNDER OUR REGULATIONS, SINCE IT DOESN'T CONSTITUTE THE ACT OF SUBDIVISION AND IS NOT OWNED BY THE DEVELOPER OF THE CURRENT PLAT.

IT'S NOT THE ACT OF SUBDIVISION AND WE CANNOT REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER TO SUBDIVIDE IT.

SO THAT ISSUE IS NOT BEFORE US.

THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT COMPLIANCE OR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO THE SUBDIVISION OR TO THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.

UNDER TEXAS LAW, A LOCAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BECOME INVOLVED IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO PRIVATE PROPERTY.

UNLESS YOU ARE THE CITY OF HOUSTON, THERE IS A SPECIFIC PROVISION IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE IN CHAPTER 212.

SECTION ONE FIFTY SEVEN THAT SAYS IF YOU'RE A CITY WITH A POPULATION OF GREATER THAN 1.3 MILLION AND YOU DO NOT HAVE A ZONING ORDINANCE, THEN YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY LEGISLATIVELY EMPOWERED TO BECOME A PARTY TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF DEED RESTRICTIONS.

IF YOU'RE NOT IN THAT CATEGORY, YOU DON'T HAVE THAT AUTHORITY.

THE RATIONALE THE LEGISLATURE HAS USED IS DEED RESTRICTIONS ARE PRIVATE CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS BETWEEN OWNERS OF PROPERTIES WITHIN A PARTICULAR TRACT.

THOSE BENEFITS AND OBLIGATIONS IN ERROR TO THE BENEFIT OR DETRIMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL LOT OWNERS. THE CITY IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO SPEND MONEY OR MAKE DECISIONS TO REFEREE PRIVATE LAND DISPUTES.

WE CAN ONLY ENFORCE THE REGULATIONS THAT WE ARE AUTHORIZED TO ADOPT UNDER THE CODE.

DEED RESTRICTIONS ARE NOT ADOPTED BY OUR CODE.

THEY'RE ADOPTED AS PRIVATE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS BY INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS IN INDIVIDUAL TRANSACTIONS.

SO WE CANNOT BE A PARTY TO THAT AND THEY CANNOT BE THE BASIS OF OUR DECISION.

SO THOSE ISSUES, I THINK THERE'S BEEN ALSO A QUESTION ABOUT AN ACCELERATED OR ENHANCED WATER SERVICE STUDY, BUT OUR REGULATIONS DO NOT AUTHORIZE THAT AS LONG AS A DEVELOPER AND THEIR DESIGN ENGINEER MAKE A SUBMITTAL THAT IS CONFORMANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR REGULATION AND WILL MEET THE STANDARDS OF OUR PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS.

THAT IS ALL WE CAN REQUIRE A DEVELOPER TO DO.

TO IMPOSE ANY GREATER OR HIGHER STANDARD WOULD BE TO TREAT THAT APPLICANT IN A DISPARATE MANNER AND ONCE AGAIN WOULD PITCH US INTO THE WORLD OF YOU'RE PLAYING FAVORITES AND YOU'RE ADJUSTING REGULATIONS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE.

MOST CITIZENS DO NOT REALIZE THAT ABOUT EIGHT LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS BACK THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE GAVE US CHAPTER TWO FORTY FIVE OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, WHICH WE LOOSELY REFER TO AS THE VESTED RIGHTS ACT.

WHEN A DEVELOPER PUTS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT ON FULL AND FAIR NOTICE OF A DEVELOPMENT INTENT, THEN THE REGULATIONS IN PLACE AT THAT MOMENT ARE THE REGULATIONS THAT LOCK IN ON THAT PROJECT. WE CAN'T ADOPT NEW REGULATIONS.

WE CAN'T ADOPT ENHANCED REGULATIONS.

WE CAN'T SUSPEND ACTION IN ORDER TO REVISE OUR REGULATIONS.

THE APPLICANT IS ENTITLED TO PROCEED UNDER THE REGULATIONS THAT EXISTED AT THE TIME THE APPLICATION WAS MADE, SO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS ITS HANDS TIED.

PERHAPS MORE THAN MANY CITIZENS RECOGNIZE IN REVIEWING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, YOU HAVE ENORMOUS DISCRETION AS WE FREQUENTLY DISCUSS WHEN WE ARE AT THE ZONING STAGE MAKING ZONING DECISIONS.

BUT WHEN WE PASS THE ZONING STAGE AND WE MOVE TO PLATTING OR SITE PLAN REVIEW, THEY ARE DESIGN AND MINISTERIAL AND YOU HAVE A VERY LIMITED ROPE WITHIN WHICH YOU CAN MOVE.

THE ONLY THING YOU CAN EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS ARE VARIANCE REQUESTS, AND EVEN THEN YOU'RE HELD TO A STANDARD OF CONSISTENCY.

AND SEE AND HOW YOU'VE TREATED SIMILARLY SITUATED PROJECTS.

I'M SURE THAT'S MORE THAN YOU WANTED TO KNOW, BUT I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. THAT'S THAT'S HELPFUL.

BUT I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE THERE IS DEEP SEATED CONCERN ABOUT

[01:00:05]

I MEAN, EVERYONE IS WELL AWARE OF THE GAS SITUATION UP ON THE NORTH SIDE.

WHAT AT WHAT POINT DO DOES THERE SOME ENGINEERING OR SOMEONE WHO'S ABLE TO CERTIFY THAT THE HOMES WILL ACTUALLY BE SERVICED AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO INFRASTRUCTURE WISE? THE UTILITY COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE, FOR INSTANCE, THE POWER SERVICE, THE NATURAL GAS OR ELECTRIC SERVICE ARE REQUIRED IN MEETING THEIR OBLIGATIONS TO THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE ADEQUATE SERVICE THAT'S EXTENDABLE INTO THAT AREA.

IT'S REGULATED TO EITHER THE RAILROAD COMMISSION OR THE PUC BASED UPON THE CATEGORY OF SERVICE, AND THEY WILL ENSURE THAT SERVICE IS MADE IN AN ADEQUATE MANNER, AT LEAST TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY CHOOSE TO BECOME INVOLVED.

THE FUN PART OF THAT IS IF IT'S A POWER UTILITY, WE DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY TO CONTROL IT.

IT'S MUCH LIKE OIL AND GAS DRILLING AND REGULATION.

THE STATE HAS TAKEN THAT AUTHORITY AWAY FROM US.

THE STATE IS PREEMINENT AND THEY DETERMINE WHAT CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE NATURAL GAS OR ADEQUATE PUBLIC ELECTRIC SERVICE TO AN AREA.

WE REQUIRE AN APPLICANT TO BRING WATER SERVICE TO THE AREA IN A FORM AND IN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO OUR CITY ENGINEER AND PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

AND WE HAVE A SET OF DEVELOPED STANDARDS BASED UPON THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION MANUAL THAT IDENTIFIES THE TYPE OF MATERIAL TO BE USED, THE SIZE OF THE LINES, THE CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES TO BE EMPLOYED IN INSTALLING THE DELIVERY SYSTEM.

AND WE WILL IN ALL INSTANCES, REQUIRE A DEVELOPER TO FULLY COMPLY WITH THOSE REQUIREMENTS IN INSTALLING THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND AGAIN, BASED UPON THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 2-12, THAT'S ALL THAT WE CAN REQUIRE.

BUT WE WILL NOT ISSUE BUILDING PERMITS UNTIL THE CITY IS CONVINCED THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE OR CITY REQUIREMENTS.

DR. BAKER, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

SO WE HAVE A CONTACT WITH ATMOS.

I REMEMBER WE HAD A PRESENTATION MAYBE EIGHT OR 10 MONTHS AGO, ATMOS EFFORTS TO IMPROVE SERVICE. DO WE? YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE AN UPDATE OR MAYBE DIRECTOR COHAN DOESN'T.

BUT IS THERE A CONTACT WE CAN SHARE WITH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD OR MAYBE A COMMUNICATION LINES WE CAN ESTABLISH? AND IF YOU DO HAVE AN UPDATE, GREAT.

WE JUST HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING SINCE SHE WAS HERE.

YES, SIR. GOOD EVENING. WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ATMOS.

ATMOS IS LOOKING TO UPSIZE THAT LINE.

PART OF THE DELAY WAS TRYING TO GET PERMISSION AS A LAY DOWN AREA AS PART OF THE LOWES PARKING LOT. THEY'VE GOTTEN THAT PERMISSION.

THEY'VE GOT ALL THE RIGHT OF WAYS.

AND SO WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR A TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN THEY WILL START.

THE PROJECT WILL ACTUALLY START JUST SOUTH OF CHICK FIL A ON KIMBALL AT THAT DATE.

YES, SIR. IT'LL INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE REGULATION STATION, WHICH IS IN FRONT OF CHICK-FIL-A CORNER. IT'LL GO UNDERNEATH 114 NORTH ALONG KIMBALL AND CUT OVER.

SO ATMOS HAS BEEN WORKING TO TRY TO GET THAT SIZE UP SIZED NOW FOR PROBABLY THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS THEY'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH US AND WE ANTICIPATE THEY SHOULD BE MOVING FORWARD HERE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

OK. CAN I ASK YOU TO REACH OUT TO SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD REPRESENTATIVES AND JUST KEEP THEM POSTED AS NEW DEVELOPMENTS OCCUR? CERTAINLY, YES, SIR. MAYBE SHARE A CONTACT WITH THEM IS WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO.

THAT'S CERTAINLY OF OF THE UTMOST CONCERN AS WE GET INTO THE DEEP WINTER MONTHS.

SO YES, SIR, WE CAN DO THAT.

THANK YOU. DIRECTOR BAKER.

A COUPLE MORE SORRY, KIND OF UP AND DOWN TODAY.

SO WE REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF THE ZONING THAT THEY HAD.

I THINK IT WAS A BRIDGE APPROVED BY THE ARMY CORE.

DO WE HAVE DOCUMENTATION OR HAVE WE HEARD THAT THAT DOCUMENTATION IS FORTHCOMING? YEAH, WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME DOCUMENTATION AND IT APPEARS THE ARMY CORE HAS MADE AN OFFER FOR THAT CROSSING.

IT STILL NEEDS TO BE EXECUTED.

ONCE IT'S EXECUTED, IT'LL BE DELIVERED TO THE [INAUDIBLE] DEPARTMENT AND WE WILL REVIEW THAT. AND AS THE COUNCIL RECALLS A CONDITION OF ANY EARTH DISTURBANCE ON THE SITE, WE NEED TO HAVE THAT DOCUMENTATION REVIEWED AND IN PLACE BEFORE THAT CAN BEGIN.

SO BEFORE THEY CAN TURN ANY DIRT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT DOCUMENTATION.

YES, BEFORE ANY EARTH DAY SERVICE PERMIT IS RELEASED.

THERE WERE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER CONDITIONS THAT WE WERE LAYING OUT DURING ZONING.

I DON'T RECALL ALL OF THEM, BUT WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR MAKING SURE THOSE ARE BEING FOLLOWED? ALL RIGHT, WE'LL BE UP ON SITE, WE'LL HAVE INSPECTORS, WE'LL HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.

AND THEN ALL THOSE CONDITIONS THAT WERE STIPULATED BY COUNCIL AS PART OF THE ZONING APPROVAL WILL HAVE TO BE ADHERED TO AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WHEN THE PLANS COME IN, THE CIVIL PLANS WE WILL MAKE, WE WILL CHECK THE CIVIL PLANS AGAINST THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS, AND ANY RELEVANT CONDITIONS WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF THOSE PLANS. AND THEN ONCE WE ONCE THE DEVELOPER MOVES INTO THE BUILDING PHASE, THEY'LL HAVE TO

[01:05:05]

OK, GREAT. AND SO THIS MAY BE A QUESTION FOR CHIEF STAR IN THE BACK.

ANY FIRE CODE ISSUES THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED, WHAT'S THE.

HAVE WE? HAVE WE CHECKED THAT BOX OR ARE YOU WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR YOU? YES, SIR. THERE'S NO FIRE CODE DEFICIENCIES THAT WE'RE AWARE OF, ONE OF THE AGREEMENTS THAT WE MADE WHEN THEY PUT THIS DEVELOPMENT IN OR WE FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS ALL THE HOMES IN THAT AREA WILL BE SPRINKLED.

SO ALL THOSE HOMES WILL HAVE A FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM AND THE HYDRANT FLOWS IN THAT LOCATION ARE A SUBSTANTIAL.

SO I DON'T I DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH THOSE ISSUES.

OK, GREAT. THANKS, CHIEF COUNCIL.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THE SIDE AND BEFORE I CALL A PUBLIC HEARING? OK, SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, AND I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY TECHNICALLY FOR ALL OF CONSENT, SO IF YOU'RE HERE TO TALK ON SOMETHING ELSE, FEEL FREE TO COME UP.

BUT CERTAINLY IF YOU'RE HERE TO TALK, I HAVE A NUMBER OF COMMENT CARDS FOR ITEM 9B.

SO WHY DON'T I GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL CALL A FEW OF THESE COMIC CARDS. SO THE FIRST IS I HAVE MARY VINCENT O'CONNOR FROM 2965 BERNIE LANE, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO 9B. SHE'S FIGHTING A FEVER.

OH, OK. OH, I'M SO SORRY.

OH. HOPE EVERYTHING'S OK.

OK, THEN I HAVE MS. AMY NEWBY AT 2885 BERNIE LANE WISHING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM.

PLEASE TELL MARY, I HOPE SHE FEELS BETTER.

I'M SURE IT'S A WONDERFUL COVID.

HI, AMY NEWBY 2885 BERNIE LANE AND THANK YOU, MR. TAYLOR, FOR THE INFORMATION.

AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I WORK IN HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE LITIGATION EVERY DAY, AND WHAT I'VE LEARNED IS I CONSULT TWO DIFFERENT ATTORNEYS AND I GET TWO DIFFERENT ANSWERS.

THAT'S JUST HOW IT KIND OF GOES SOMETIMES.

AND WE HAVE CONSULTED ATTORNEYS OURSELVES, AND YOU DID REFERENCE THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE 212005, BUT WE'RE QUESTIONING 212004.

SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IT NEEDS TO BE PLATTED IF IT IS GOING TO HAVE PARTS OF THE TRACK INTENDED TO BE DEDICATED TO PUBLIC USE.

EVERY INTENSIVE PURPOSE, THE EXISTING LOT IN HARBOR OAKS.

IS GOING TO BE IN THE CONSERVATION, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PART OF HARBOR OAKS, THEY'RE SAYING IT'S GOING TO BE A HARBOR OAKS.

BUT AS YOU KNOW, PERCEPTION IS PART OF THE LORE PERCEPTION.

EVERY DOCUMENT THAT GOES UP ON THAT SCREEN, IT'S A PART OF THE CONSERVATION AND YOU ALL SAID MAYOR HUFFMAN YOU SAID IT AND YOU SAID IT WHEN IT'S ORIGINALLY PLANTED INTO THE SUBDIVISION. THAT'S WHY WE PLAT.

IT'S NOT IN OUR SUBDIVISION ANYMORE.

IT SHOULDN'T BE SHOWING IT PLATTED IN OUR SUBDIVISION.

IT SHOULD BE SHOWING IT INTO THE CONSERVATION.

IT IS A PART OF THE CONSERVATION.

THEY'RE SAYING IT IS NOT.

IT'S STILL GOING TO BE BEHIND THEIR FENCE.

IT IS GOING TO HAVE A PUBLIC EASEMENT THROUGH.

IT IS GOING TO HAVE A CLUSTER MAILBOX ON IT.

IT IS GOING TO HAVE THE FENCE ACROSS THE FRONT, ACROSS THE FRONT, ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES.

IT IS THE CONSERVATION.

WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OUR ATTORNEYS IS THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET ALL THIS RIGHT THAT WHILE THE STATUTE MAY REQUIRE THAT LOT 10 BLOCK TWO OF HARBOR OAKS BE REPLANTED TO LAYOUT STREETS AND EASEMENTS DEDICATED TO PUBLIC USE.

IT DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT THE ENTIRETY OF HARBOR OAKS BE RE-PLATTED.

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR THE ENTIRETY OF HARBOR OAKS TO BE REPLANTED.

WE'RE ASKING FOR THE EXISTING LAW TO BE RE-PLATTED INTO THE CONSERVATION BECAUSE IT IS A PART OF THE CONSERVATION THAT'S THAT PART, BACK TO THE FIRE CHIEF.

GREAT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MAJORITY OF OUR HOMES ARE NOT SPRINKLED BACK THERE, BUT I'M GLAD THAT WE GOT THE NEW WIND SPRINKLED.

BUT WE'RE NOT.

THE MAJORITY OF OUR HOMES ARE NOT.

AND I THINK THAT IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN, AND THAT'S IT.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME OPEN COMMUNICATION ABOUT THAT SOMEHOW ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE STAND ON IT.

THAT'S JUST WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY.

THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU.

MR. TAYLOR ANYTHING TO ADD ON THAT FRONT.

THE CITY STAFF HAS WORKED VERY CAREFULLY THROUGH THIS, AND THE PROPOSAL FOR THE ACCESS WILL NOT BE DEDICATED TO THE PUBLIC.

IT WILL BE A PRIVATE ACCESS DRIVE SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN DEDICATED TO THE PUBLIC FOR OFFICIAL PUBLIC USE.

IT DOESN'T ACTIVATE THE PROVISION OF 212004.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS A PRECEDENT THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED IN THE PAST IN MANY INSTANCES TO AVOID CONGESTION ON FM1709 OR STATE HIGHWAY 114.

WE ALLOW AN ACCESS OF PRIVATE ACCESS DRIVE OFF THE STATE HIGHWAY OR THE FARM TO MARKET, AND THEN WE FEED DIRECT ACCESS ROADS TO SERVICE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

WE DO NOT REQUIRE THE SUBDIVISION OF THOSE AREAS AS LONG AS THE OWNERSHIP REMAINS AS A

[01:10:04]

THAT'S THE CUSTOM PRACTICE AND POLICY THE CITY HAS FOLLOWED AND THE STAFF BELIEVES WE'RE PROBABLY SAFER STAYING WITH THAT POLICY IN INTERPRETING A COMPARABLE SITUATION HERE.

OK. THANK YOU, MR. TAYLOR. ARE THERE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON 9B OR ANYTHING ELSE ON CONSENT? OK, I'VE GOT A NUMBER OF OTHER COMET CARDS THAT I'M GOING TO READ INTO THE RECORD, AND IF ANYBODY CHANGES THEIR MIND BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, JUST LET ME KNOW.

SO [INAUDIBLE] FROM 2895 BERNIE LANE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK FOR RECORD OPPOSITION.

JULIA [INAUDIBLE] FROM 2895 BERNIE LANE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD OPPOSITION.

SHARON [INAUDIBLE] FROM 850 HARBOR COURT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD OPPOSITION AND MICHAEL [INAUDIBLE] FROM 350 CARMEL COURT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD SUPPORT, SO ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON 9B OR ANYTHING ELSE ON CONSENT? OK, WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, I'LL TAKE A MOTION ON CONSENT.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE WE APPROVE ITEMS NUMBER 4A THROUGH 4I OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS THE CONSENT AGENDA, SUBJECT TO GRANTING THE FOLLOWING VARIANCE REQUESTS.

NOTING FOR THAT 4B RANDY WILLIAMSON WILL BE THE CHAIRMAN AND AMY [INAUDIBLE] AS THE VICE CHAIRMAN FOR THE 2022 CALENDAR YEAR FOR THE TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE.

ALSO NOTING 4G IS APPROVING THE SIGNED VARIANCES FOR SV OF 21-0026, WHICH IS AN [INAUDIBLE] LOCATED AT 1600 EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100, THE SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED JANUARY 11, 2022.

ALSO NOTING 9A, WHICH IS THE 21-0098, WHICH IS A PLAT REVISION FOR LOTS, 11R1 AND 11R2 AT THE 0W NIGHT NUMBER 899 EDITION AND LOCATED AT 325 PINE STREET IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 212 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, THE CITY COUNCIL IS APPROVING THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO EXTEND THE 30 DAY PLAT APPROVAL PERIOD IN ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS, BEGINNING ON THE DATE ON WHICH THE EXTENSION WAS REQUESTED, WHICH WAS JANUARY 17TH, 2022.

WITH THIS APPROVAL OF THE 30 DAY EXTENSION, ITEM 9A ON THE AGENDA WILL BE TABLED TO THE CITY COUNCIL'S FEBRUARY 1ST 20 22 MEETING FOR THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST.

ALSO NOTING 9B IS APPROVING ZA21-0099 WHICH IS A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE CONSERVATION ON PROPERTY, DESCRIBED AS LOT 10 BLOCK TWO HARBOR OAKS IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND TRACK FIVE, THE RECENT PRICE SURVEY ABSTRACT NUMBER 1207, WHICH IS IN SOUTHLAKE AND ADDRESSED AS 2970 BERNIE LANE AND 3185 SOUTHLAKE PARK DRIVE IN SOUTHLAKE.

THE PLAT IS SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED JANUARY 11, 2022, AND SUBJECT TO THE REVISED PLAT REVIEW SUMMARY NO.

ONE DATED JANUARY 5TH, 2022, WHICH SPECIFICALLY NOTES THAT LOT 10 BLOCK TO HARBOR OAKS, IS INCLUDED ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT EXHIBIT TO SHOW THE ACCESS EASEMENT.

LOT 10 BLOCK TWO HARBOR OAKS IS NOT BEING REPLANTED AND IT WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL PLAT BOUNDARY.

ALSO NOTING THAT THE HOMES AND THE CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION WILL BE ACCESSED BY A PRIVATE ACCESS EASEMENT AND NOT A PUBLIC STREET OR PUBLIC EASEMENT.

WE HAVE A MOTION, IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. A SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

AND CONSENT AGENDA PASSES SIX ZERO.

WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS OUR PUBLIC FORUM.

SO THE PUBLIC FORUM IS THE PUBLIC'S OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS COUNCIL ABOUT ANYTHING THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON AN ITEM, NOT ON THE AGENDA? OK, WITH THAT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC FORUM AND MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 6A, WHICH IS ZA

[6. Ordinances, second readings, public hearings, and related items]

DR. BAKER. MAYORS, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, THIS REQUEST IS APPROVED OF A SITE PLAN TO ALLOW AN APPROXIMATELY THIRTEEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY THREE SQUARE FOOT WORSHIP BUILDING TO BE ADDED ON THE PROPERTY.

THE LOCATION OF PROPERTY IS 2380 LONESOME DOVE AVENUE.

THE FUTURE LAND USE IS PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC, AND THE CURRENT ZONING IS COMMUNITY SERVICE.

THE LAND USE AND ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REQUEST FOR A RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY.

THE SITE IS ABOUT 6.7 ACRES.

THE CURRENT LOT DOES NOT CONSIST OF THE CEMETERY, WHICH IS TO THE NORTH OF THE CHURCH PROPERTY. THAT IS A SEPARATE LOT.

THREE DRIVES ARE ON THE SITE.

THOSE WERE APPROVED WITH PREVIOUS SITE PLANS.

THE EXISTING SANCTUARY IS ONE STORY ABOUT 3700 SQUARE FEET.

THE TWO FELLOWSHIP AND EDUCATIONAL BUILDINGS ARE BOTH ONE STORY IN TOTAL, JUST OVER NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY NINE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED SQUARE FEET.

[01:15:03]

THESE ARE A COUPLE OF VIEWS OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS WHAT IS IDENTIFIED AS PARSONAGE WITH THE BUILDINGS TO THE NORTH AND LOOKING AT THE EXISTING BUILDINGS OFF OF LONESOME DOVE.

JUST TO GIVE THE COUNCIL A QUICK HISTORY, A SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED IN 1999 TO ADD THE 6000 SQUARE FOOT FELLOWSHIP AND EDUCATION BUILDING ON THE WEST SIDE AND THEN MORE RECENTLY, 12 PARKING SPACES WERE ADDED ADJACENT TO THE CEMETERY PROPERTY BACK IN 2017.

THIS IS THE REVISED SITE PLAN.

THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF CHANGES MADE SINCE THE PLANE'S ZONING COMMISSION MADE THEIR RECOMMENDATION. ONE ADDITION IS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS ADDED AN EIGHT FOOT FENCE ALONG THE WEST AND SOUTH BOUNDARY AT THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION.

THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE NOT TO INSTALL THAT FENCE, BUT AFTER THE P AND Z MEETING, THE P AND Z DID REQUEST THE NEIGHBOR HAVE SOME.

THE APPLICANT HAVE SOME DISCUSSION OF THE NEIGHBORS.

THE REVISED SITE PLAN SHOWS THAT FENCE ALONG THE SOUTH AND WEST OR WEST BOUNDARY AS REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE.

THERE WERE ALSO SOME DISCUSSIONS ON THE DRIVEWAYS.

THOSE DRIVEWAYS WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

THOSE VARIANCES BUT BECAUSE OF THE ADDITION, THOSE VARIANCES NEED TO BE RECONSIDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE COMMENTS OF THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION.

THE CHURCH HAS ADDED ON THE SITE PLAN THAT DURING THE CHURCH SERVICES, THEY WILL DIRECT TRAFFIC FLOW AND DEDICATED DRIVEWAY TO SERVE AS A ONE WAY DRIVE IN AND ONE WAY OUT, AND WILL PLACE SIGNS TO HELP DIRECT FLOW ONTO THE SITE AND END THE SITE AND EXIT IN SITE.

AND THOSE ARE THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE SITE PLAN.

I'LL QUICKLY GO OVER THE ELEVATIONS.

THE BUILDING IS JUST OVER 35 FEET, RIGHT AT 35 FEET, THAT THE BRICK AND STONE IS THE PRIMARY MASONRY TYPE MATERIAL.

THERE IS SOME CEMENT PLASTER IN THE COURSE OF GLASS WITH THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS.

AS COUNCILS AWARE WITH THE MATERIAL BILL, THE CITY COUNCIL MUST ALLOW ANY MATERIALS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED IN THE LAST THREE CODE CYCLES.

THE MATERIALS HERE SHOWN ARE LISTED AS APPROVED MATERIALS IN THE RECENT CODES AND MUST BE PERMITTED DUE TO THE RECENT HOUSE BILL.

SOUTH ELEVATION AS YOU'RE COMING UP FROM DOVE WEST ELEVATION AND THE NORTH ELEVATION.

THIS IS THE TREE CONSERVATION PLAN.

THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 70 PERCENT OF THE TREE CANOPY TO BE PRESERVED.

THE APPLICANT IS PRESERVING 70 PERCENT, 76 PERCENT OF THE EXISTING TREE CANOPY.

THE LANDSCAPE PLAN THE APPLICANT IS EXCEEDING THE INTERIOR LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS.

THERE ARE THREE VARIANCES FOR CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER, BECAUSE THIS IS A SITE PLAN, AND AS MENTIONED, THE ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE RELIGIOUS USE.

THE USE IS PERMITTED.

CITY COUNCIL WILL NEED TO FOCUS ON THE THREE VARIANCES LISTED ON THE SLIDE TWO OF THE DRIVEWAY ORDINANCES, WHICH REQUIRE MINIMUM STACKING DEPTH OF 75 FEET.

A VARIANCE IS REQUESTED TO ALLOW THE STACKING DEPTH OF 40 FEET FOR ALL THREE DRIVES, WHICH IS APPROVED WITH THE PREVIOUS ACTION.

THE SECOND DRIVEWAY ORDINANCE IS THAT MIDDLE DRIVE DOES NOT HAVE A 24 FOOT THROAT WITH THE VARIANCE REQUEST AS TO ALLOW A 17 FOOT FOUR INCH THROAT WITH, AS MENTIONED, WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED WITH A PREVIOUS ACTION.

AND THEN THE THIRD VARIANCE IS THE THE VARIANCE TO THE SIDEWALK REQUIREMENT.

THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK BE CONSTRUCTED ALONG THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY ADJACENT TO LONESOME DOVE.

THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS IN THE AREA, BUT WAS WILLING TO DEDICATE A 10 FOOT PEDESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENT.

[01:20:02]

THAT EASEMENT WOULD BE IN PLACE AND WOULD NEED TO BE DEDICATED AT SOME POINT TO THE CITY TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION IF SIDEWALKS ARE BUILT IN THE AREA.

THIS EXHIBIT JUST SUMMARIZES THE VARIANCE REQUEST, THE SIDEWALK VARIANCE, THE THROAT WITH VARIANCES FOR THIS MIDDLE DRIVE.

THE STACKING IS FOR ALL THREE DRIVES AND THEN THE PREVIOUS VARIANCE WAS REMOVED FOR THE EIGHT FOOT WOOD FENCE, WHICH THEY ARE COMPLYING.

THIS SUMMARIZES THE TOPICS DISCUSSED AT PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION, IT WAS THE THE SIDEWALK DISCUSSION AS MENTIONED, THEY THE P AND Z DID GRANT THE VARIANCE, NOTING THE DEDICATION OF THAT EASEMENT.

THERE WAS DISCUSSION ON THE FENCE.

THAT VARIANCE REQUEST HAS BEEN REMOVED AND SITE PLANS WERE REVISED TO SHOW AN EIGHT FOOT FENCE. AND THEN THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ON THE DRIVEWAYS AND THE INTERNAL CIRCULATION OF A LONESOME DOVE AND THEN THE AS A RESPONSE, THE APPLICANT HAS ADDED THE CHURCH WILL PROVIDE A ONE WAY IN DRIVE AND AN EXIT INCLUDES SIGNAGE TO HELP NAVIGATE.

THIS IS THE P AND Z SPECIFIC MOTION WHICH IS IN YOUR POCKET IN YOUR REPORT.

THESE ARE THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION RESPONSES.

AND AGAIN, AS A REMINDER, THE CURRENT ZONING IS A COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT, A RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS ARE PERMITTED USES AND CITY COUNCIL WILL NEED TO FOCUS ON APPROVING OR DENYING THE VARIANCES WITH THE REQUEST.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. DIRECTOR BAKER, ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF AT THIS TIME? I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

SORT OF AS BROAD GENERALIZATIONS OF THESE SORT OF VARIANCES THAT WE'VE APPROVED.

THE DRIVEWAY VARIANTS.

YES, THAT'S VERY COMMON TO PROVE THOSE THOSE STACKING DEPTHS AND THOSE DRIVEWAY RELATED VARIANCES, THE SIDEWALK VARIANCES.

I BELIEVE THERE ONE PROOF YOUR HOME IS COMMON FOR RESIDENTIAL.

YEAH. AND TYPICALLY, IF COUNCIL HAS APPROVED THE VARIANCES, THEY DO PROVIDE A PROVISION TO ALLOW FOR THE CITY, COME BACK AND INSTALL A SIDEWALK IF IT MAKES SENSE FOR CONNECTIVITY IN THE FUTURE. SURE.

IT'S CONSISTENT WITH. ARE THERE OTHER SIDEWALKS IN THE AREA THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO CONNECT WITH THE SIDEWALK? CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NO OTHER SIDEWALKS IN THE AREA.

YEAH, OK. CERTAINLY, WE DON'T HAVE A SIDEWALK TO NOWHERE.

WE'RE NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO.

YEAH, THERE WILL BE A SMALL PORTION WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE STREET IN GRAPEVINE THAT WILL BE COMING, BUT CURRENTLY.

OK. AND DRIVEWAY STACKING VARIANCES SAYS THIS IS REALLY JUST SORT OF KIND OF BLESSING THE THE SITE THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE, RIGHT? RIGHT. AGAIN, THE USE IS PERMITTED, THE EXPANSION IS WITHIN THE ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.

COUNCIL WILL NEED TO FOCUS ON THOSE VARIANCES LIST.

GOTCHA. GOTCHA. OK, THANK YOU.

DIRECTOR BAKER OK.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE? COME ON DOWN.

IF YOU GUYS COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN GO AHEAD IF YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION, ANYTHING, [INAUDIBLE].

SO MY NAME IS JASON STOVER.

I'M THE LEAD PASTOR AT LONESOME DOVE BAPTIST CHURCH.

HI, I'M [INAUDIBLE], I'M WITH [INAUDIBLE] ENGINEERING 5200 STATE HIGHWAY 121.

SO JUST A QUICK, JUST A QUICK LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CHURCH.

WE WERE ESTABLISHED IN 1846 IN THE VERY SAME PROPERTY YOU SEE HERE.

I'VE BEEN THE PASTOR HERE FOR JUST OVER SIX YEARS NOW.

OUR GROWTH AS A CHURCH HAS BEEN SLOW AND STEADY DURING THOSE SIX YEARS.

BUT BUT WE'RE GROWING AND WE'RE OUTGROWING OUR FACILITIES.

CURRENTLY, WE HAVE ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE TO TWO HUNDRED AND ATTENDERS ON A SUNDAY MORNING, AND ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF THOSE LIVE WITHIN ABOUT FIVE MILES.

THEY LIVE IN ABOUT FIVE MILES.

THE OTHER 40 PERCENT LIVE BEYOND THAT DISTANCE.

ON A TYPICAL SUNDAY.

I TRY TO LET EVERYONE OUT EARLY SO WE CAN BEAT THE METHODISTS TO DRAGON HOUSE AND TO KINCAID'S IF I'M LONG WINDED AND THE SERVICE IS A BIT ROUGH THAN OUR MEMBERS, HEAD STRAIGHT TO YATES CORNER FOR A 12-PACK.

HOPEFULLY, THAT'S A 12-PACK OF DR.

PEPPER, BUT NO GUARANTEES.

THE LIFE CHURCH. YEAH, I SAID DR.

PEPPER. THE LIFE AND GROWTH THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING AS A CHURCH IS A REFLECTION OF THE GRACE OF GOD. IT'S A REFLECTION OF THE GROWTH AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTHLAKE.

AND WE'RE THANKFUL FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND WE'RE THANKFUL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE GROWTH. WE'RE THANKFUL TO BE PART OF THAT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.

WE THINK SOUTHLAKE BEST DAYS ARE AHEAD, AND WE HOPE THAT THE DOVE'S BEST DAYS ARE AHEAD AS WELL. TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL HAVE.

ABSOLUTELY. I THINK WE HAVE A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS, BUT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT

[01:25:03]

VERY, VERY YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN A CORNERSTONE OF THE COMMUNITY BEFORE SOUTHLAKE WAS A CHARTERED CITY, SO WE LOVE SEEING THE GROWTH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT AND WE MIGHT CALL YOU UP FOR QUESTIONS IN A LITTLE BIT. OK.

I BELIEVE THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SIX A UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER QUESTIONS, I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE SOME LATER.

I'VE GOT SOME COMIC CARDS.

AS ALWAYS, IF YOU GUYS CHANGE YOUR MIND AND YOU DIDN'T SUBMIT A COMMENT CARD SAYING YOU WANTED TO SPEAK. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WELCOME TO COME AND SPEAK.

EVERYONE IS. SO I'LL JUST START READING THESE CARDS AND ONCE AGAIN, ONCE I'M OUT, JUST COME UP AND SPEAK IF YOU WANT.

SO THE FIRST COMMON CARD I HAVE IS DANIEL SHUGG, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM. COME ON UP.

AND REAL QUICK DANIEL BEFORE YOU START, SO A FEW GROUND RULES ABOUT PUBLIC COMMENTS, I SHOULD HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE THE LAST ITEM.

WE HAVE THREE MINUTES ALL RIGHT SO THAT COLOR TIMER WILL GO OFF.

YES, GREEN MEANS YOU'RE GOOD.

YELLOW MEANS YOU GOT ONE MINUTE LEFT.

FLASHING RED MEANS YOU'RE GETTING CUT OFF.

IT'S LIKE THE ACADEMY AWARDS WE YANK YOU RIGHT UP.

NO WAIT. HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

WE GOT TO KEEP GOING HERE. SO NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO TO START.

AND AS ALWAYS, JUST DIRECT YOUR COMMENTS AT US VERSUS THE DEVELOPER, APPLICANT OR AUDIENCE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THAT'S IT. PRETTY EASY.

ONE, TWO THREE.

GO. OK, DANIELLE SHUGG.

I ACTUALLY CURRENTLY HAVE A 2415 TAYLOR STREET, WHICH IS THE NORTHERNMOST PROPERTY.

I ALSO OWNED 2413 WHERE WE USED TO LIVE AND ARE PLANNING ON RETURNING WHEN WE DOWNSIZE.

I GUESS MY FIRST EASY THING THAT I'D LIKE TO COMMENT UPON ARE THE VARIANTS UNDER QUESTION ABOUT THE SIDEWALK.

AS A REGULAR DOG WALKER ALONG THAT ROAD, I'M TIRED HEARING [INAUDIBLE] SAYING THERE'S NOT A SIDEWALK TO NOWHERE.

THERE AREN'T OTHER SIDEWALKS ON THAT SIDE OF THE STREET, BUT LONESOME DOVE IS DANGEROUS.

PEOPLE DRIVE QUICKLY. THERE'S DITCHES, THERE ARE SEVERAL SIDEWALKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. THERE'S MORE GOING IN ALL THE TIME, AND WE HAVE THAT HUGE FERGUSON PLACE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A PUBLIC PARK THAT WE'D ALL LIKE TO BE ABLE TO WALK SAFELY TO KIDS RIDING BIKES, ETC.

SO IT'S REALLY NOT A SIDEWALK TO NOWHERE.

AND I ACTUALLY EMAILED EVERYBODY A LITTLE ILLUSTRATION POWERPOINT TODAY SHOWING THAT THERE ARE CONNECTIVITY ISSUES BECAUSE IT'S ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET, BUT IT REALLY WOULD BE A WONDERFUL BOON TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET THAT SIDEWALK IN AND NOT WAIT FOR SOME EASEMENT TO GET PAID FOR BY TAXPAYER DOLLARS DOWN THE ROAD.

MY MAIN QUESTION HERE IS THERE ARE SEVERAL ASPECTS OF THIS PLAN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN WRITING AFTER CONSULTATION WITH HOMEOWNERS THAT SHOULDN'T BE RUBBER STAMPED.

AT THIS POINT, DRAINAGE IS A HUGE ONE.

TAYLOR STREET DRAINS THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD DOWN FROM OLD DRAGON STADIUM AND WATER RUSHES OUT OF THE CULVERTS, WHICH HAVE FILLED IN OVER THE 30 SOME YEARS AND RUSH BETWEEN 2413 AND 2411 INTO WHAT IS GOING TO BE TURNED INTO PRETTY MUCH A PARKING LOT.

AND RIGHT NOW IT SERVES AS A PERCOLATION FIELD, AND ANYBODY WHO'S BEEN BACK THERE WITH THEIR KIDS OR DOGS PLAYING FLAG FOOTBALL KNOWS IT GETS VERY SPONGY AND STAYS WET FOR A LONG TIME. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE DRAINAGE PLAN IN WRITING BEFORE ANYTHING IS APPROVED, ESPECIALLY IF THAT'S ALL BECOMING NINETY EIGHT ADDITIONAL SPACES, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF SPACES TO HAVE IN MY BACKYARD.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU WANT TO LIVE, AND MY OTHER CONCERN IS ABOUT THE LIGHTING ON THOSE LIGHT PLANS.

THERE'S NOTHING SPECIFIC ABOUT THE HEIGHT.

THERE'S CURRENTLY SEVERAL LIGHTS THAT ARE ON ALL NIGHT, EVERY NIGHT SHINING OVER THE FENCES NOW, BUT THEY'RE FARTHER AWAY FROM THE HOMES, AND WE'D LIKE TO HAVE SPECIFICS ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDLY LIGHTS THAT MAYBE ONLY TURN ON WHEN THE PARKING LOT IS IN USE AND NOT HAVE THESE HUGE LIGHTS, ENGINES, 20 FEET IN THE AIR SHINING OVER OUR BACKYARDS, OUR QUIET COUNTRY, BACKYARDS ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

SO THAT IS PRETTY MUCH IT.

AND ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS ARE HERE AND CAN ILLUSTRATE ALL THESE ISSUES BETTER.

THANK YOU. AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

NEXT CARD I HAVE IS FROM [INAUDIBLE] SCHILLING, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM. MR. [INAUDIBLE].

[INAUDIBLE] SCHILLING, 1260 TAYLOR STREET.

I LIVE IMMEDIATELY WEST OF DANNY, AND MY PROPERTY DOES NOT ABUT THE CHURCH PROPERTY, BUT THERE'S SOME ISSUES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT ME DIRECTLY.

IN ANY CASE, WHILE I AM IN.

I OBJECT TO THE PLANS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW THAT ISSUES SUCH AS DRAINAGE, LIGHTING, SIDEWALK A LITTLE BIT OF STUFF NOW THAT THE FENCE HAS BEEN REQUIRED THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, THAT I REALLY WISH THAT THE CHURCH WOULD SIT DOWN WITH THE NEIGHBORS BECAUSE IF THEY'RE NOT ADDRESSABLE HERE, WHICH I REALIZE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CONTROL, WHAT YOU

[01:30:04]

BUT AT LEAST. THERE SHOULD BE AGREEMENT ON IT.

ANY CASE, I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH A LOT OF DETAILS BEYOND THE FACT YOU ALL HAVE GOT A LETTER FROM ME THAT HIGHLIGHTED SOME POINTS.

I'M IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING BROUGHT UP BY PARTICULARLY THOSE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO IT.

LIGHTING IS AN ISSUE.

AS DANNY MENTIONED, DRAINAGE IS A HUGE ISSUE.

IT ACTUALLY BACKS UP EVEN ONTO MY PROPERTY.

AND WITH THREE TIMES AS MUCH PARKING PAVEMENT OVER THERE, THERE'S GOING TO BE LESS AREA FOR WATER TO BE ABSORBED.

WHEN A FENCE IS BUILT, THE FENCE NEEDS TO BE BUILT IN SUCH A WAY THAT THERE'S AT LEAST A GAP UNDERNEATH IT SO THAT WHAT VERY POOR DRAINAGE EXIST CAN FLOW UNDERNEATH THAT BECAUSE DRIVEWAYS, GARAGES, A SWIMMING POOL, YARDS ALL FLOOD IN THE AREA JUST WITH A MODERATELY HEAVY RAIN, AS IS, AND WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT FURTHER IMPEDES THAT.

SO I THINK THE ARCHITECTURE ISSUE, NOT THAT I OBJECT TO MODERN ARCHITECTURE, BUT HAVING THIS MODERN ARCHITECTURE NEXT TO A 90 YEAR OLD WHITE FRAME BUILDING, I THINK IS GOING TO BE AN EYESORE.

YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THAT, GIVEN WHAT THE AUSTIN DOES.

BUT ANYHOW.

SO YOU'VE GOT IN WRITING MY OPINION ON A NUMBER OF THESE THINGS.

I'M FULL SUPPORT OF MY NEIGHBORS AND EVERYTHING THEY HAVE TO SAY.

OH, THANK YOU. ONE LAST THING.

I AM REALLY TIRED OF PEOPLE REFERRING TO THAT SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AS A PARSONAGE.

IT IS A RENT PROPERTY.

IT'S NOT A PERSONAGE.

I UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU, SIR.

OK, NEXT COMMENT TO HAVE ROBERT [INAUDIBLE], WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU ALL. ROBERT MUSTO, LIVE AT A TWENTY FOUR TO FIVE TAYLOR STREET, THE YOU ALL SENT A LETTER APPRECIATE RANDY GETTING BACK TO ME THAT ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF THAT.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO DOUBLE DOWN ON ALL THAT STUFF.

ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT IS THE SIDEWALKS.

THERE ARE SIDEWALKS TO NOWHERE ON DOVE ROAD RIGHT HERE, JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM THIS PART OF LONESOME DOVE.

I THINK THIS WOULD JUST BE KIND OF A GOOD START TO BUILD OUT SIDEWALKS IN THE FUTURE, AND I WOULDN'T APPRECIATE HAVING MY PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS USED FOR THE CITY TO PUT A SIDEWALK WHERE THEY'RE DOING DEVELOPMENT AND COULD JUST DO A SIDEWALK NOW AS PART OF THAT.

OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, THANKS FOR THE CONSIDERATION AND YOU KNOW, WISH Y'ALL THE BEST.

THANK YOU, SIR. THE LAST FORM I HAVE IS FROM DAVID HARDING, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME, MY NAME IS DAVID HARDING, I LIVE IT THREE EIGHT ONE THREE [INAUDIBLE] STREET SO RIGHT ON THE BORDER OF SOUTHLAKE AND GRAPEVINE, ABOUT FIVE MINUTE WALK FROM LONESOME DOVE.

WE'VE BEEN HERE SEVEN YEARS WHERE AUSSIES, BUT WE ARE NOW PROUD AMERICANS AND HAVE BEEN ATTENDING THE WE'RE NOT BRITISH, BY THE WAY.

AND WE'VE BEEN AND WE'VE BEEN WE LOVE OUR CHURCH, WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS AS WELL.

AND I'VE HEARD THE SAME COMMENTS AND THERE'S A LOT OF OPPOSITION.

IT SEEMS TO THINGS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE CHURCH'S FAULT OR RESPONSIBILITY THAT ARE MORE INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

THIS CHURCH, AS WE'VE HEARD, IS OLD.

IT'S BEEN HERE 175 YEARS WELL BEFORE ALL OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES WERE THERE.

I'M NOT SURE IF THE CHURCH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DRAINAGE ISSUES IN THE AREA.

WE'RE CERTAINLY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LACK OF SIDEWALKS.

I LIVE, I RUN AND I WALK MY DOGS AND I WOULD LOVE SIDEWALKS, BUT I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A CITY OR A COUNCIL THING TO DO.

A CHURCH IS NOT JUST A FAMOUS OLD PROPERTY, THOUGH.

THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR 175 YEARS IS THERE FOR THE SAKE OF SOME SORT OF HISTORICAL CLAIM TO FAME. AND I THINK THERE'S PEOPLE THAT FEEL THAT WHILE IT'S TRUE, IT'S HISTORICAL.

THE DOVE IS REALLY AND THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY TO YOU ALL TONIGHT.

IT IS A VIBRANT, ACTIVE AND POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON OUR COMMUNITY, PROVIDES A DAY CARE SERVICE, A CHANCE FOR MOMS AND PARENTS TO TAKE SOME TIME OUT WITH THEIR PARENTS DAY OUT PROGRAM, HOSTS MUSIC SCHOOL AND ACTIVE AND GROWING YOUTH GROUP, A GROWING COLLEGE MINISTRY WHICH ARE ALL SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE INFLUENCES WE NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY MORE THAN

[01:35:02]

THIS IS A, I THINK IS A FORCE FOR GOOD, AND WE CERTAINLY WANT TO BE A POSITIVE INFLUENCE.

WE ARE VERY ORDINARY AND VERY IMPERFECT PEOPLE THAT JUST GET TOGETHER TO WORSHIP A PERFECT GOD IF YOU LIKE.

WE SUPPORT MISSIONS AND OUTREACHES TO THE SURROUNDING AREA, INCLUDING SOME OF THE LOW INCOME AREAS OUT FURTHER IN GRAPEVINE.

AND WE WELCOME ANYBODY TO COME AND HANG OUT WITH US AND SEE WHAT WE'RE ABOUT.

WE'RE NOTHING SPECIAL AT ALL.

BUT WE DO SERVE A SPECIAL AND EXTRAORDINARY GOD.

SO WE'RE NOT EXPANDING HERE FOR THE SAKE OF BECOMING ANOTHER LARGE CHURCH OR A MEGACHURCH.

WE'RE NOT ABOUT TRYING TO CHALLENGE GATEWAY OR WHITE CHAPEL.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO ERECT SOME GIANT EDIFICE.

WHAT WE'RE DOING IS EXPANDING IN OUR OWN LAND, IN OUR OWN EXISTING BUILDING, A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA SPACE.

IT'S NOT THOUSANDS OF CAR SPOTS.

WE ALREADY LIVE WITH [INAUDIBLE] PARK TRAFFIC WITH SOCCER.

WE SEE ALL THE DEVELOPMENT GOING ON.

WHAT WE'RE DOING IS GOOD THING FOR THE COMMUNITY AND I THINK IF WE COULD JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND AND TO OUR ESTEEMED NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS, WE WANT TO WORK IN HARMONY WITH THEM.

WE WILL ADDRESS THEIR ISSUES.

BUT THERE ARE BIGGER THINGS AT STAKE HERE THAN JUST OUR CHURCH CAUSING INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES, ETC.

WHAT WE'RE DOING IS GOOD FOR SOUTHLAKE, FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR NEIGHBORS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

APPRECIATE IT. OK, THAT IS IT FOR MY SPEAKERS.

UNLESS THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO COME ADDRESS COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM.

OK, I'LL GO AHEAD AND READ THE REST OF THESE CARDS INTO THE RECORD.

SO I HAVE [INAUDIBLE] WHO WISHES TO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT WISHES TO RECORD SUPPORT.

REED BARRON, WHO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD SUPPORT.

GINGER STOVER, WHO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD SUPPORT.

GENE HAGGARD, WHO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD OPPOSITION.

[INAUDIBLE], WHO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK FOR RECORD, SUPPORTS MELISSA [INAUDIBLE], WHO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD SUPPORT.

EMILY HIGGINS, WHO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORDS SUPPORT.

JANICE MINOR, DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK FOR RECORD SUPPORT.

SAMANTHA BARRON DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK FOR RECORD SUPPORTS.

STEVE TRUE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD SUPPORT.

SHERRY JOHNSON DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK FOR RECORD SUPPORT.

PHILLIP MILLER DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD SUPPORT.

CATHERINE HAYES DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK WITH RECORD SUPPORT.

JOHN [INAUDIBLE] DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD SUPPORT.

ROBERT [INAUDIBLE] DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD OPPOSITION.

TIM BERT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD OPPOSITION.

EMILY VICKERS DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD OPPOSITION.

ROBERT CARR DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD OPPOSITION.

JULIE DAVIS DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD SUPPORT AND PRESSLEY MILLER DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORD SUPPORT.

AND I MISS ANYBODY? ANY CHANGE OF HEART WANT TO SPEAK OK.

WELL, WITH THAT, I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DIRECTOR BAKER, IF I COULD HAVE YOU UP HERE ONE MORE TIME, I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS BASED ON SOME THINGS THAT WERE MENTIONED.

CAN YOU TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DRAINAGE PLAN AND THE LIGHTING PLAN? WHAT IF ANY PURVIEW DO WE HAVE OVER WHAT'S BEING SUBMITTED NOW? WHAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED? WHAT ARE YOU GUYS REVIEWING? CAN YOU JUST TALK ABOUT THAT PROCESS A LITTLE BIT? SURE. IN TERMS OF LIGHTING, AS COUNCIL IS AWARE OF, WE HAVE A LIGHTING ORDINANCE IN PLACE AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO MEET THE FOOT CANDLES AT THE PROPERTY LINE.

THEY WILL SUBMIT A LIGHTING PLAN IF SHIELDING OR ANYTHING IS REQUIRED THAT WILL BE PICKED UP AS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS.

BUT THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FOOT CANDLES AT THE PROPERTY LINE.

OK. AND THAT THAT'S JUST IN NORMAL COURSE OF GETTING APPROVALS IN THE BUILDING.

CORRECT. RIGHT? YES, SIR.

AND AS FAR AS THE DRAINAGE GOES, WHAT? WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN? WHAT IS OUR ENGINEER GOING TO DIG INTO WHEN WE COME DOWN? AS PART OF THE SUBMISSION, THEY DID SUBMIT PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE PLANS.

ESSENTIALLY, THE FLOW IS TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE EAST, ULTIMATELY TO THESE.

[INAUDIBLE] DISHES ON LONESOME DOVE.

THEY WILL BE INSTALLING THIS DETENTION BASIN AS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION.

AS WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT, THEY'LL SUBMIT A FULL SET OF DRAINAGE PLANS, WHICH OUR ENGINEERS WILL REVIEW TO MAKE SURE THEY MEET ALL STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS TOO.

OK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DR.

[01:40:02]

SO, CAN, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SIDEWALKS.

DO YOU HAVE A PHOTO IN THIS PRESENTATION OR CAN YOU DESCRIBE TO US THE SIDEWALKS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD? HOW FAR IN EITHER DIRECTION ARE THEY BEFORE THEY BEGIN? THERE ARE IN THIS PROBABLY ISN'T THE YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE SOME OF THEM HERE WHEN [INAUDIBLE] PLACE COMES IN ACROSS THE STREET, THERE'LL BE, YOU MAY RECALL, THERE ARE A FEW LOTS THAT FRONTED ON LONESOME DOVE.

THEY WILL HAVE SIDEWALKS.

THERE WILL BE INTERNAL SIDEWALKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH WILL LEAD BACK TO A LARGE PARK AREA.

A LOT OF THE SUBDIVISIONS, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA, THERE ARE SOME OLDER SUBDIVISIONS TO THE EAST OF SOUTHLAKE OR EAST OF LONESOME DOVE.

AND SO [INAUDIBLE] I THINK [INAUDIBLE] COURT, ALEXANDRIA JACKSON COURT PORTIONS OF FOXFIRE. AS YOU GO BACK INTO THAT, THEY DO HAVE INTERNAL NEIGHBORHOODS, SIDEWALKS AS WE AS THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH, AS WE GET A COUPLE OF LARGE HOMES THAT WILL BE REQUIRED SIDEWALKS ALONG LONESOME DOVE, AS THE GENTLEMAN MENTIONED TOWARDS DOVE, WHICH IS CORRECT, AND WE HAVE A SPATTERING ALONG DOVE ROAD.

SO A LOT OF THE SIDEWALKS EXISTING ARE PART OF THOSE GRAPEVINE SUBDIVISIONS TO THE EAST.

OK. DIRECTOR BAKER, AS I LOOK AT THE AERIAL ON MY HANDHELD DEVICE HERE AND CRUISING THIS ROAD MANY, MANY TIMES, I JUST DON'T SEE ANY SIDEWALKS LITERALLY ON LONESOME DOVE ROAD ITSELF. AM I MISSING SOMETHING? THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET TO.

I UNDERSTAND THE INTERIOR SIDEWALKS AND SOME OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, I CAN'T IDENTIFY.

THERE WILL BE SOME FUTURE WITH THE NEW DEVELOPMENT DOWN TO THE SOUTH.

THE RESIDENTIAL AND THEN THE FIRST IN PLACE ON THE EAST SIDE WILL ALSO HAVE SIDEWALKS ALONG ITS FRONTAGE.

NOTHING ON THE WEST SIDE, THOUGH, CORRECT? NOT AT LEAST IN THIS THIS PHOTOGRAPH THAT I'M SEEING.

DO WE? WHAT ARE OUR PLANS AS FAR AS THE CITY AND SIDEWALKS IN THAT AREA? GENERALLY, WE TRY TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS.

I MADE A SIMILAR STATEMENT OF PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION.

WE TRIED TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS.

AND IT IS IN OUR ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS, AND THAT'S WHY THE VARIANCE IS IN FRONT OF YOU. RIGHT. SO PHILOSOPHICALLY, THE APPROACH IS TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS AS NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. OUR ENGINEERS LOOKED AT THIS AND THEY BELIEVE IT'S PROPORTIONAL OR SO. THAT'S WHY IT'S GOING FORWARD.

I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT IS IS I KNOW THAT HISTORICALLY WE'VE HAD THREE OPTIONS GRANT VARIANCE AND NOT NOT HAVE A SIDEWALK WHEN IT MAKES SENSE NOT TO USE SIDEWALK TO NOWHERE WHERE YOU KNOW OR THAT PHRASE, I GUESS, IS USED.

THE SECOND IS REQUIRE A SIDEWALK, OF COURSE, AND THE THIRD WE HAVE USED IN THE PAST IS ESCROW, WHERE AN APPLICANT PLACES FUNDING IN AN ESCROW ACCOUNT SUCH TIME THAT SIDEWALKS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED IN THE AREA.

THE FUNDING IS THERE. IN YOUR ESTIMATION, WHEN WOULD THAT BE? WHEN WILL THERE BE A TIME WHERE YOU AND I'LL SET THIS UP BY THE USE OF A CROSSWALK? YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THERE'S SOME PLACES AROUND TOWN WHERE YOU HAVE A SIDEWALK ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN YOU HAVE A LITTLE CROSSWALK WITH SOME FLASHING LIGHTS TO GET THEM TO THE OTHER SIDEWALK. AND WHEN WOULD WE ACTUALLY HAVE SUBSTANTIAL SIDEWALKS? NO PRESSURE ON THIS ONE. WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, ALONG LONESOME DOVE, A LOT OF THOSE PROPERTIES ARE ALREADY PLANTED.

SO UNLESS PHILOSOPHICALLY THE CITY MAKES A DETERMINATION TO GO IN AND ACQUIRE RIGHT OF WAY, WE DON'T HAVE A MECHANISM TO REQUIRE IT.

SO THAT WOULD BE.

WE CAN'T COMPLETE IT. SO THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY TO COMPLETE A CONTINUOUS RIGHT.

AND DIRECTOR BAKER, THERE'S A BAR DITCH RIGHT THERE THAT RUNS ALONG THE THERE IS A PRETTY DEEP BAR DITCH, AND WE DID LOOK AT THAT AND I ACTUALLY BELIEVE WE GOT A PHOTO OF IT.

AND SO THEY WOULD NEED TO COME BACK BEHIND THAT DITCH.

IT MAY HAVE TO COME ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.

SO THE REGARDLESS.

FROM A PLANNING PERSPECTIVE, I THINK THE THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED A PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO GRANT THAT ACCESS EASEMENT.

I THINK FOR PLANNING PURPOSES, THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA IF THE APPLICANT IS WILLING TO DO THAT. MM HMM. YEAH, I THINK THE CHALLENGE FOR ME IS THAT IF THERE IS NOT A REASONABLE

[01:45:02]

SO YOU HAVE TWENTY FIVE YARDS IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE.

AND THEN THAT'S THE HARD PART.

WE'D LOVE TO HAVE SIDEWALKS, BUT WITH THAT MUCH OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY THAT WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO TO FILL IN THE GAPS, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT.

YEAH, YEAH. I HAVE A QUESTION TO DIRECTOR BAKER AND I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT I'M BACK ON THE SIDEWALK THING TOO, BECAUSE I'M I LOVE TO WALK, RUN AND I DO BELIEVE IN CONNECTIVITY AND I DO BELIEVE IN SIDEWALKS UNDERSTANDING.

THIS IS A DEFINITE RURAL PART OF TOWN, UNIQUE PART OF TOWN.

BUT THOSE, YES, THEY'RE THEY'RE PLOTTED.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SITUATION WHERE POSSIBLY WE HAVE TEAR DOWNS AT THAT POINT? DOES IT COME BACK TO US OR DOES THAT PLOT SUPERSEDE AND THEY COULD STILL BUILD TO HAVE A SIDEWALK IF IT'S A ONE FOR ONE? TYPICALLY, IF THEY ALREADY PLATTED, THEN [INAUDIBLE] THE MECHANISM TO REQUIRE TO KICK IN THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.

WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS A LOT OF THESE TRACKS THAT ARE NOT PLATTED THAT HAVE THE OLD HOUSE ON IT, AND IN ORDER TO PULL THE BUILDING PERMIT, THEY HAVE TO COME IN AND BE PLATTED.

SO THAT TRIGGERS THE SIDEWALK.

SO THAT'S WHY A LOT OF THESE KNOCKED DOWN.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

WE ARE SEEING THAT REQUIREMENT KICK IN.

YEAH, GOOD QUESTIONS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR [INAUDIBLE].

OK, THANKS, KEN. YOU HAVE A SEAT.

ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL. I THINK THE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF US IS, YOU KNOW, THREE VARIANTS IS THE DRIVEWAY VARIANCES. WE SEEM TO BE PROVING AS A MATTER, OF COURSE.

I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THEM AND HEARING THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT SIDEWALKS. IT'S JUST HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ANY TIME IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY CONNECT THAT SIDE OF LONESOME DOVE TO I'M INCLINED TO GRANT THE VARIANCE.

WHAT'S Y'ALL THOUGHT. I'LL JUST SECOND YOUR POSITION, AS MUCH AS IT WOULD BE GREAT TO ONE OF THE RESIDENTS CONCERNS.

OR MAYBE THIS WOULD BE A STARTING POINT.

I JUST CAN'T PUT IT TOGETHER.

I JUST DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING, UNFORTUNATELY.

AND I'M A BIG FAN OF CONNECTIVITY AS WELL.

SURE. I JUST DON'T SEE HOW THIS COMES TOGETHER IN THE IDEA OF EVEN REQUESTING ESCROW.

IT COULD BE TWENTY FIVE, THIRTY YEARS, MAYBE NEVER.

NEVER HAPPEN. AND IT JUST.

RIGHT. I MEAN, IF EVEN IF I SAW A PATH FORWARD IN THE NEXT, CALL IT, FIVE TO 10, ESCROW MIGHT BE A, YOU KNOW, A LEGITIMATE REQUEST.

BUT I DON'T EVEN SEE THAT HERE BEING SOMETHING THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.

I AGREE WITH YOU. I THINK THE SILVER LINING HERE, THOUGH, IS THAT THE APPLICANT IS GRANTING IT THE 10 FOOT EASEMENT, THE EVENT WE EVER GOT THERE.

NOW THAT, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT COST THEN FALLS ON THE APPLICANT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T REQUIRED TO, THAT COST WOULD FALL ON ON US.

BUT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THAT IN OUR BACK POCKET IS A GOOD THING.

YOU KNOW, IF A COUNCILMAN 15 YEARS FROM NOW SITS THERE AND SAYS, GOSH, I WISH WE HAD THE ABILITY TO FINISH A SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH, WE DO WITH THIS GRANT, THIS APPROVAL, JUST CLOSING THE LOOP ON THE OTHER TWO VARIANCES, THESE WERE GRANTED IN NINETEEN NINETY NINE.

AND THERE'S REALLY NO DIFFERENCE.

THAT'S TRUE. GOOD POINT.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT. YEAH.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS HAVE REALLY VALID CONCERNS WITH THE DRAINAGE AND THE LIGHTING. AND THEN BUT YOU KNOW, I KNOW KEN AND HIS TEAM WILL MAKE SURE ALL THOSE ORDINANCES ARE MET TO THE STRICTEST, STRICTEST SENSE.

AND I'M SURE THE CHURCH WANTS TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS AND AND HOW THEY MEET THEM AS WELL.

NO ONE HAS AN INTEREST IN SEEING THAT SITE BE TREATED POORLY.

SO OK, IF THERE'S NOT FURTHER DISCUSSION, THEN I'D TAKE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM.

OK. MAYOR AND COUNCIL I MOVE.

WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER SIX A, WHICH IS OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ZA21-0093, WHICH IS A SITE PLAN FOR LONESOME DOVE BAPTIST CHURCH EDITION ON PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOT 1R1 BLOCK ONE LONESOME DOVE BAPTIST CHURCH EDITION.

IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND TARRANT COUNTY AND LOCATED TWENTY THREE EIGHTY LONESOME DOVE AVENUE ALSO CALLED LONESOME DOVE ROAD HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, THE CURRENT ZONING IS COMMUNITY SERVICE THIS DISTRICT.

THIS IS SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED JANUARY 11, 2022 AND THE PLAT REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER THREE DATED JANUARY 11, 2022, NOTING THE VARIANCE REQUESTS DRIVEWAY ORDINANCE NUMBER SIX THREE FOUR AS AMENDED, WHICH IS SECTION FIVE POINT TWO POINT D, REQUIRES A MINIMUM STACKING DEPTH OF SEVENTY FIVE FEET.

A VARIANCES REQUESTED TO ALLOW A STACKING DEPTH OF APPROXIMATELY 40 FEET FOR ALL THREE DRIVEWAYS. VARIANCE WAS APPROVED WITH THE PREVIOUS SITE PLAN ZA99-009 TO ALLOW A STACKING DEPTH OF PLUS OR MINUS 40 FEET AND ALL THREE DRIVEWAYS, NOTING THIS REAPPRAISAL OF THE

[01:50:01]

THIS MOTION WOULD BE A VARIANCE TO APPROVE THAT REQUEST.

APPROVE THE REQUESTED VARIANCE.

EXCUSE ME. ALSO NOTING DRIVEWAY ORDINANCE NUMBER SIX THREE FOUR AS AMENDED SECTION FIVE POINT ONE REQUIRES A MINIMUM THROAT WIDTH OF TWENTY FOUR FEET OF VARIANCE IS REQUESTED TO ALLOW THE EXISTING 12 FEET OF 17 FEET, FOUR INCHES FOR THE CENTER DRIVEWAY FOR THE CENTER DRIVEWAY TO REMAIN A VARIANCE TO ALLOW THE 17 FEET FOUR INCHES THROUGHOUT WIDTH WAS APPROVED, WITH THE PREVIOUS SITE PLAN IN NINETEEN NINETY NINE.

THIS IS NOTING THE RE- APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCES REQUIRED SINCE THE EXISTING USE OF THE DRIVEWAY IS PROJECTED TO INCREASE IN THE ACTUAL OR PROPOSED DAILY DESIGN OUR VOLUME BY 20 PERCENT OR MORE.

AGAIN, THIS WOULD BE APPROVING THAT VARIANCE TO 17 FEET, FOUR INCHES AND THEN FINALLY, ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 480 AS AMENDED SECTION THIRTY THREE POINT ONE NINE REQUIRES A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK TO BE CONSTRUCTED ALONG LONESOME DOVE AVENUE AT THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION VARIANCE.

VARIANCES REQUESTED TO ALLOW NO SIDEWALK TO BE CONSTRUCTED ALONG LONESOME DOVE AVENUE.

THE VARIANCE REQUEST IS APPROVED AND NOTING THAT THE APPLICANT HAS SHOWN A 10 FOOT PEDESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENT ON THE SITE PLAN TO BE DEDICATED.

THAT'S GREAT WE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. WE HAVE A SECOND.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. AND ITEM 6A PASSES, SIX ZERO, CONGRATULATIONS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE EXPANSION, AND THAT IS THE LAST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA.

WITH THAT, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
