>> [NOISE] GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.
[1. Call to Order: Video Introduction of SPIN Program by Southlake Mayor John Huffman]
[00:00:04]
THE PURPOSE OF SPIN IS TO GAIN FEEDBACK FROM CITIZENS ON PROJECTS AND OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST IN THE COMMUNITY.MANY OF THE ITEMS PRESENTED ARE DEVELOPMENT RELATED.
I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT SPIN IS AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING AND NO VOTES ARE TAKEN.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO RECOMMEND OR REMIND EVERYONE THAT SPIN IS STREAMED LIVE THROUGH VIDEO ON-DEMAND, AND WE WOULD ASK THAT THOSE IN ATTENDANCE WITH QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS USE THE MICROPHONES AT THE FRONT SO THOSE WATCHING AT HOME CAN HEAR YOU.
NEXT, WE WILL SHOW A BRIEF VIDEO INTRODUCTION OF THE SPIN PROGRAM BY SOUTHLAKE MAYOR JOHN HUFFMAN.
>> [MUSIC] GOOD EVENING. I'M SOUTHLAKE MAYOR JOHN HUFFMAN.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING TONIGHT'S SPIN TOWN HALL FORUM.
THE ITEMS PRESENTED, IT'S BEEN REPRESENTED IDEAS OFTEN IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT.
NOW, WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THIS CONVERSATION STARTS HERE, FIRST WITH THE PRESENTATION, AND THEN WITH YOUR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FOR THE DEVELOPER.
THERE ARE NO VOTES TAKEN AT SPIN, AND NO DECISIONS ARE MADE.
SPIN IS SIMPLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE.
BUT ONCE THE MEETING IS OVER, BOTH THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY'S PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ARE PROVIDED WITH THE SPIN MEETING REPORT THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE DISCUSSION FROM TONIGHT.
WE TAKE YOUR IMPRESSIONS AND QUESTIONS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN CONSIDERING ANY ITEM THAT COMES BEFORE US, FURTHER ALONG IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TONIGHT.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION TO HELPING MAKE SOUTHLAKE A BETTER PLACE.
>> JUST AS A REMINDER, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL OPEN THE MICROPHONES AFTER THE APPLICANT HAS PRESENTED THEIR PRESENTATION.
SO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HEAD DOWN TO THE MICROPHONES IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THE APPLICANT TO RESPOND TO.
WE ALSO DEVELOPED AN ONLINE SPIN QUESTION FORUM, THAT RESIDENTS CAN SUBMIT PRIOR TO THE MEETING IF THEY'RE UNABLE TO ATTEND.
I HAVE RECEIVED TWO THIS AFTERNOON, SO I WILL READ THROUGH THESE SUBMISSIONS AFTER THE RESIDENTS IN ATTENDANCE WHO HAVE ASKED QUESTIONS ARE ABLE TO SPEAK.
ONCE MORE THE MEETING IS BROADCAST LIVE THROUGH THE CITIES VIDEO ON-DEMAND SYSTEM AND THAT CAN BE ACCESSED THROUGH THE CITY'S MAIN WEBSITE, CITYOFSOUTHLAKE.COM.
[2. SPIN2022-10-An applicant is proposing to develop an approximately 10,000 sq. ft. medical office building located at 300 Parkwood Dr. within SPIN Neighborhood #9.]
WITH THAT, WE CAN GET TO OUR APPLICANT PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.THERE IS ONLY ONE ITEM ON THIS AGENDA AND IT'S GOING TO BE PRESENTED BY JERRY WARD, WHICH IS SPIN CASE SPIN2022-10.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP AN APPROXIMATELY 10,000 SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING LOCATED AT 300 PARKWAY DRIVE.
IF YOU COULD USE THE PODIUM, THERE'S A MICROPHONE UP THERE AS WELL, AND YOU CAN CLICK THROUGH YOUR PRESENTATION USING THE ARROW.
>> TO MOVE FORWARD YOU JUST HIT THE MOUSE? I'M JERRY WARD WITH WARD ARCHITECTURE, THE ARCHITECT ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT.
THE SITE IS RIGHT BEHIND CALLOWAYS IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT ON PARKWOOD DRIVE EAST OF SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.
THE UNUSUAL THING ABOUT THIS SLOT IS THE BOTTOM THIRD IS A TREE PRESERVATION AREA, WHICH WE INTEND ON KEEPING AND THAT AREA BORDER'S THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY.
HERE WERE THE LAST SLOT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA AND FIRST SLOT INTO THE COMMERCIAL AREA.
WITHOUT A GOOD USE FOR THAT WAS A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL OFFICE BUILDING.
WHEN WE SET IT OUT, WE SET IT OUT WITH THE RATIO OF PARKING REQUIRED FOR A MEDICAL OFFICES, WHICH IS 150.
WE DIVIDED IT ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT STAFF COULD BE ON ONE SIDE AND VISITORS ON THE OTHER.
WE'RE ALSO NOT BRINGING IN A DRIVEWAY OFF A PARKWOOD DRIVE.
WE WOULD USE THE EXISTING DRIVE THAT'S THERE FOR CALLOWAYS AND THE BACK ENTRY ONTO THE METHODIST CHURCH.
WE HAVE OUR DRIVE OFF OF THAT.
[00:05:03]
ON THE PARKING WE'LL BRING IT BACK.YOU'LL SEE BETWEEN US AND THE LIMIT OF DISTURBANCE AND PRESERVATION AREA.
SUPPOSE WE HAVE TO FLATTEN OUT THIS SITE TO BE ABLE TO BUILD ON IT.
WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YET UNTIL WE DO THE GRADING PLAN, BUT WE WON'T DISTURB ANY OF THE SOIL PAST THAT LIMIT OF DISTURBANCE THAT YOU SEE THERE.
THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT RETENTION.
THERE'S AN EXISTING RETENTION POND AREA THAT WE KEPT INTACT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR THIS SITE IN THE LOWER RIGHT-HAND CORNER.
WHEN WE DO THE GRADING, ALL THE WATER SHOULD BE CONTAINED AS REQUIRED BY THE CITY ON THE SITE.
WE HAVE JUST FOR SPECULATIVE PURPOSES, DESIGNED IT FOR FOUR AT LEAST AREAS, FOUR DIFFERENT MEDICAL USES.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE DOORS ON THE FRONT AND THE BACK SO THAT WE HAVE PARKING ON BOTH SIDES.
WE HAVE STAFF AND PUBLIC PARKING AREAS.
HERE'S ELEVATIONS AND YOU CAN SEE WE TOOK ELEMENTS FROM CALLOWAYS, FROM THE RETAIL CENTER NEXT TO THAT ON SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, AS WELL AS WE KEPT A RESIDENTIAL FEEL USING BRICK, STONE AND HAVE THE SLOPE ROOF THERE TO KEEP IT MORE RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE.
WE DO HAVE THE WOOD TRUSSES AT EACH ENTRY.
THIS IS SOME THREE-DIMENSIONAL WORK THAT WE DID.
JUST TO SHOW VERY DIFFERENT ANGLES OR WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.
I THINK THE ONE ON THE UPPER RIGHT WOULD BE AS YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN PARKWOOD LOOKING UP AT THE BUILDING.
IF YOU'RE IN A TREE PRESERVATION AREA LOOKING AT THE BUILDING, THE ONE ON THE LOWER-LEFT WOULD BE IF YOU'RE AT CALLOWAYS LOOKING TOWARDS THE BUILDING.
IF YOU COULD REMAIN AT THE PODIUM, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THIS ITEM FOR DISCUSSION.
IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS, COME ON DOWN TO THE MICROPHONE.
>> WE TALKED IN THE BACK, BUT I WANTED TO JUST GO OVER IT AGAIN SO IT'LL BE ON THE RECORD.
MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THIS IS MAKING SURE THAT THE ROAD STAYS CLOSED.
RIGHT NOW IF YOU WERE TO GO FROM THAT LOT WHERE YOU'RE BUILDING TO THE SENIOR CENTER, YOU CANNOT DRIVE THERE.
THAT'S THE MAIN THING I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS, THAT IF THIS GOES IN, I DID NOT WANT THAT ROAD OPENED.
>> HOW DO I GO BACK TO OUR FIRST SLIDE?
>> JUST USE THE ARROWS TO BACKTRACK.
>> THE MAP SHOWS IS CONNECTED BUT IT'S NOT.
WE DON'T PLAN ON CONNECTING THE ROAD AT ALL.
WE DON'T PLAN ON ANY ROAD WORK ON PARKWOOD.
IN FACT, WE'RE ONLY DOING A DRIVE OFF OF A PRIVATE ROAD THAT GOES BETWEEN CALLOWAYS AND OURSELVES.
>> AS THIS GOES FORWARD CAN WE REQUEST THAT THE DRAWING BE UPDATED TO SHOW A CLOSED ROAD, SO THAT WHEN IT'S LOOKED AT IN THE FUTURE, WE HAVE AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF HOW IT WAS AND HOW IT WAS APPROVED.
>> I CAN ACTUALLY CHIME IN ON THIS.
WE PULLED THIS MAP FOR INTERACTIVE MAP, AND THE RED BOX UP TOP IS SHOWING THAT THE ROAD IS OPENED BUT IT IS NOT OPENED, IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED ON THAT MAP.
I HAVE IT RIGHT HERE ON MY LAPTOP.
>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY LOOKS AT AN OPEN ROAD IN THE FUTURE AND SAYS, WELL, WE APPROVED IT AS OPEN.
>> YES. FROM THIS INTERACTIVE MAP THAT I HAVE ON MY LAPTOP, THE ROAD IS NOT CONNECTED CURRENTLY.
IT MUST BE THE PIXELATION UP TOP AND THE RED BOX MIGHT BE COVERING THAT SPECIFIC PORTION OF THE ROAD, TO SHOW THAT IT'S CONNECTED, BUT TECHNICALLY IT'S NOT.
[00:10:01]
I'D LIKE EVERYTHING TO SHOW THE ROAD IS CLOSE, JUST HAVE IT ALL DOCUMENTED CORRECTLY.>> MY NAME IS MARSHALL SMITH. I LIVE AT 501.
A QUESTION THAT I WOULD HAVE WOULD BE ABOUT THE TIMES THAT THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE OCCUPIED AS A MEDICAL FACILITY.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A PART OF WHAT YOU DO OR WHAT THE ZONING DOES, BUT I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHEN THIS PREMISE COULD OPERATE OR BUSINESSES AT THIS PREMISE.
>> THE DOCTORS OFFICES, IT WOULD BE A 8:00-5:00, 8:00-6:00 TYPE SCENARIO.
I COULD CHECK WITH THE CITY AND SEE WHAT THEIR ORDINANCES ARE ON THAT.
BUT THAT'S THE TYPE OF OFFICE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO PUT HERE.
>> THAT WOULD BE SATURDAYS, SOME OFFICES OPEN SATURDAYS.
>> OKAY. MY SECOND QUESTION IS AROUND THE LIGHTING.
A CONCERN I WOULD HAVE WOULD BE HOW THIS PROPERTY IS LIT AND HOW MUCH LIGHT IS ESSENTIALLY PROJECTED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD? DO YOU HAVE A LIGHTING PLAN?
WE DON'T HAVE A PHOTOMETRIC, BUT WE'LL HAVE THAT AS PART OF THE SITE PLAN SUBMISSION.
WE WILL HAVE PARKING LOT WITH POLE LIGHTS, BUT AS REQUIRED BY THE CITY, I CAN'T BRING ANY OF THAT LIGHT OUT FROM BEYOND THE PROPERTY LINE, SO IT WOULD ALL HAVE TO STAY CONTAINED.
I DON'T THINK WE'RE PUT ANY LIGHTING IN THE TREE PRESERVATION AREA.
THAT'S NOT IN THE PLANS RIGHT NOW.
WE WOULD JUST BE LIGHTING THE PARKING AREA AND AROUND THE BUILDING.
>> I THINK WE'D WANT THE LIGHT TO MAKE SURE IT STAYS EITHER POINTED AT THE BUILDING OR ON THE PROPERTY AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.
IF YOU'D MAYBE GO TO THE MAP OF THE PROPERTY?
>> YEAH. IS THERE GOING TO BE A SIDEWALK? I COULDN'T TELL IF THAT WAS A SIDEWALK CONNECTING THE PARKING LOT TO PARKWOOD.
>> YEAH. WE HAVE ONE SHOWN OFF OF THE CIRCLED CUL-DE-SAC RIGHT NOW.
IT WOULD BE STEEP, PROBABLY HAVE SOME STEPS IN IT.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOWED THAT WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE USEFUL.
IF NOT, WE CAN TAKE IT OUT IF IT'S NOT.
>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S A SIDEWALK ON PARKWOOD, YOU WOULD AT THIS POINT ONLY BE CONNECTING TO THE STREET DIRECTLY?
>> THEN I GUESS MY LAST QUESTION, A SUGGESTION WOULD BE ALONG PARKWOOD SOME SORT OF SHRUBBERY OR TREES COULD BE PLACED ALONG PARKWOOD TO SHIELD JUST THE VIEW FROM THE NORTHWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE BUILDING COULD POTENTIALLY BE BENEFICIAL TO THE RESIDENTS. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
>> MY NAME'S ERIC [INAUDIBLE] WAS WITH PARK CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY.
I WROTE THESE DOWN SO IF YOU WANT THESE FOR YOUR REFERENCE.
SOME OF THEM YOU HAVE ANSWERED ALREADY, I JUST WANT TO GO THROUGH THEM FOR THE RECORD TOO.
MY FIRST QUESTION IS ABOUT ZONING.
ARE YOU REQUESTING ANY ZONING CHANGES FROM WHAT'S ALREADY APPROVED?
>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO. I THINK WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A SITE PLAN APPROVAL.
>> THE BUILDING YOU SHOWED US, THE DRAWINGS OF ONE STORY BUILDING, AND THE PARKING'S ALL THE WAY AROUND.
YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT LIGHTING.
DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH TRAFFIC FLOW YOU EXPECT, HOW MANY CARS IN AND OUT OF IT PER DAY? EVEN BALLPARK.
>> IT'S NOT A RETAIL CENTER, SO WE COULD DO A TRAFFIC STUDY, BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW.
>> IF THE BUSINESSES THERE FAILED, WHAT KIND OF REPLACEMENT BUSINESSES MIGHT GO IN THERE? IS IT RESTRICTED BY THE ZONING THEN? IT WOULD HAVE TO BE OTHER MEDICAL.
>> I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CHECK THAT MYSELF, BUT WE WEREN'T PROPOSING TO CHANGE THE ZONING.
WHATEVER IT'S ZONED NOW IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD FOR. [OVERLAPPING]
[00:15:04]
>> IS WHAT THEY'LL BE LIMITED TO.
>> YEAH, WE WEREN'T GOING FOR A SPECIAL USE TO RESTRICT, THERE'S ONLY ONE.
WHATEVER THE ZONING ALLOWS NOW, IF THEY WANT TO GO BEYOND THAT, THEY'D HAVE TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL AND GET IT APPROVED TO CHANGE IT.
>> THEN WE'LL BE NOTIFIED AND ALL OF THAT IF THEY DO.
THEN THE GREEN BELT, YOU'VE SAID YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP THAT AREA, I THINK THEY CALL IT THE NO DISTURBANCE AREA ON THERE, SO WHATEVER.
THERE WON'T BE ANY FOOTPATHS IN THERE OR ANY KIND OF RECREATIONAL AREA?
>> NO. WE WEREN'T PLANNING ON DOING ANYTHING PASS THAT DISTURBANCE ZONE.
>> OKAY AND I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT PARKWOOD DRIVE ALSO.
THIS IS SOMETHING I KEEP BRINGING UP WITH THE CITY COUNCIL TOO.
THERE'S TWO PARKWOODS RIGHT NOW, THE ORIGINAL DESIGN, IF YOU GO BACKWARDS TO THAT MAP, THE ESRI MAP, I THINK IS WHATEVER. THAT ONE.
>> I SEE THAT A LOT THAT THEY GIVE TO DEVELOPERS AND IT'S NOT EVEN A CASE OF ANYTHING BEING COVERED.
THE ORIGINAL DESIGN BACK IN THE '90S WAS TO CONNECT PARKWOOD AND THAT AREA LABELED, I THINK IT'S 307, WAS GOING TO BE RESIDENTIAL.
LOOK AT THE PROPERTY HISTORY, WISTERIA OWNED ALL OF THAT.
THEY OWNED NORTHWOOD PARK AND THEN WE WERE GOING TO DEVELOP.
BUT WHEN THEY SOLD IT TO THE CITY, THE CITY DECIDED NOT TO CONNECT THOSE TWO, BUT THEY NEVER CHANGED THE NAME.
I THINK IT USED TO BE PARKWOOD FROM SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD DOWN AND IT ENDED RIGHT ABOUT WHERE THAT LITTLE HOUSES ON 307 USED TO JUST COME DOWN AND END THERE.
I WAS JUST WONDERING AND MAYBE YOU CAN THROW THIS IN YOUR REQUEST BECAUSE IT'LL HELP YOU, I THINK, IS TO RENAME THAT STREET TO SOMETHING ELSE.
BECAUSE WHEN CALLOWAY'S FIRST WENT IN, 18-WHEELERS USED TO COME FROM THE BYRON NELSON SIDE THINKING THAT THEY HAD ACCESS AND THEY WOULD COME UP THE HILL AND AT SIX IN THE MORNING, THEY'RE GRINDING THEIR GEARS AS THEY'RE BACKING DOWN THE HILL.
I LIVE AROUND THE CORNER, SO I WASN'T HEARING IT, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED ALONG PARKWOOD ALL COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AND IT TOOK THEM A YEAR TO TWO YEARS BEFORE ALL THE DELIVERY GUYS FIGURED OUT YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE.
I THINK WHOEVER DOES THIS MAP, IF I REQUEST THIS AGAIN, THAT THEY WOULD CORRECT THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT CONNECTED AND THE PRIOR DEVELOPMENT BACK IN 2016 WANTED TO GO IN HERE AND IT WAS FOR A DAYCARE CENTER AND THEY HAD IT LIKE BEING CONNECTED AND IT CAUSED A LOT OF DISRUPTION.
THE KIND OF THINGS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, I THINK WE DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A LOT OF DISRUPTION AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO JUST SAY, HEY, IT'S ALREADY ZONED FOR THAT.
YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP THE HOUSES SCREENED AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
I THINK PEOPLE WILL BE HAPPIER.
THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, SIR.
THAT FIRST HOUSE, RIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
A FEW QUESTIONS ON WHEN DO YOU THINK YOU'LL GET THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE LIGHTING?
>> AFTER THIS MEETING, WE'LL PULL TOGETHER A PACKAGE FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING AND SUBMIT.
WILL HAVE THE PHOTOMETRICS THERE.
>> THEN THE TIMING OF WHEN, ARE THEY GOING TO BE ON FULL-TIME? [OVERLAPPING].
>> THE LIGHTS ARE ON. [OVERLAPPING].
>> I HAVE A BEDROOM THERE AT 500 THAT WOULD FACE THAT WHOLE BUILDING.
>> WHEN THE LIGHTS WILL BE ON. I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT ARE YOU THOUGHTS ON IT? YOU'RE THINKING YOU WANT THEM OFF, LIKE THE POLE LIGHTS OFF AT MIDNIGHT OR TEN?
>> IT'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT LARGE PARKING LOT, SO I WOULD SAY I WOULDN'T WANT THEM ON.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHER NEIGHBORS THINK.
CAN YOU GO TO THE SLIDE WHERE IT HAD THE CUL-DE-SAC?
>> WHY DO WE NEED THE CONNECTION TO THE CUL-DE-SAC? YOU MENTIONED A RAMP OF SOME SORT.
WHY DO YOU NEED THAT CONNECTION OR PATHWAY FROM AN AREA THAT HAS NO BUSINESS OF EVEN GOING TO THE MEDICAL BUILDING?
>> HONESTLY, IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO DO A QUICK DROP-OFF, AND THEY WERE IN THAT CUL-DE-SAC, SO THEY JUST SLOWED DOWN, STOPPED AND SOMEBODY WHO WANTED TO WALK UP TO THE BUILDING THERE WASN'T THE REASON FOR IT. [OVERLAPPING]
>> BUT CAN WE JUST NOT DO THAT? HALFWAY WHY DO YOU REALLY NEED IT? IF THEY NEEDED TO DROP OFF WITH THE BUILDING THEY SHOULD GO TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE AND NOT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> WE'RE NOT. WE'RE JUST GOING TO THE CUL-DE-SAC, NOT JUST TURNING AROUND AND STAND ON PARK WOULDN'T GO ON BACK UP.
>> THERE'S STILL A LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S NOT NEVER STOP THERE RIGHT NOW.
>> WELL, WE CAN TAKE OFF THE SIDEWALK IF IT'S AN ISSUE.
THAT WAS JUST A THOUGHT WE THOUGHT MIGHT BE BETTER TO HAVE IT IF IT'S A PROBLEM, WE CAN TAKE IT OUT.
[00:20:03]
I DON'T THINK THE CITY REQUIRES THAT SIDEWALK.>> HOW MANY FEETS FROM FIRST-PERSON RETAINING THE RETAINING WALL, HOW HIGH IS IT? THEN WILL THERE BE A FENCE ON TOP OF THAT RETAINING WALL ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF YOUR BUILDING?
>> ON THE SOUTH SIDE, WE WILL HAVE TO BUILD UP AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE GROUND UP TO THE PAD FLAT.
THEN IT'LL SLOPE IT BACK DOWN TO THE DISTURBANCE AREA.
WE'LL NEED A RETAINING WALL TO GET THE PARKING BACK AS FAR AS WE'VE GONE.
THE RETAINING WALL WILL ONLY BE, I'M NOT SURE HOW TALL EXACTLY UNTIL WE DO A GRADING PLAN, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A HUGE WALL, IT'LL BE FAIRLY SHORT.
BUT OUR IDEA WAS WE'D HAVE A RETAINING WALL THEN WE'D GO UP ABOUT THREE FEET FROM THERE SO THAT WOULD HIDE HEADLIGHTS AND GOING BACK THAT DIRECTION THROUGH INTO THE TRADE AREA.
>> WILL THERE BE A FENCE ON TOP OF THAT?
>> HOW TALL WILL THAT FENCE BE?
>> WHEN YOU HAVE THE GROUND LIKE THE PARKING LOTS HERE, THEN THE RETAINING WALL COULD BE TWO OR THREE FEET, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I THINK THREE. IT WOULD FUNCTION THAT SAME AS WHEN YOU DO A HEDGE ROW IN A PARKING LOT TO HOLD AND KEEP THE HEADLIGHTS FROM SHINING OUT INTO THESE.
>> IS THERE TO BE A FENCE ON TOP?
>> WHAT'S ENCLOSING YOUR WHOLE BUILDING? IS IT JUST LIKE ALL OPEN?
>> IT'S OPEN, WE DON'T HAVE A FENCE.
>> THERE IS NOTHING SURROUNDING, SEPARATING FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> ANY CHANGE IN THAT OR WHY WOULD YOU NOT PUT A FENCE KIND OF BLOCKING THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
>> YOU WANT US TO BUILD A FENCE AROUND THE EDGE OF THE TREE PRESERVATION AREA?
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHER NEIGHBORS THINK, BUT SOMETHING TO BLOCK THAT WHOLE VISUAL ENORMOUS BUILDING THAT YOU HAVE HERE.
WE'LL SEE MOST OF YOU WHO DRIVE DOWN THAT ROAD WILL LOOK TO THE RIGHT AND SEE ALL HIS 40 CARS ON THE SIDE, 40 ON THE OTHER SIDE, SO THAT'S WHAT WE'LL SEE.
ARE THERE ANY PLANS TO BLOCK IT OFF?
>> I THINK THE OTHER GENTLEMAN HAD AN IDEA AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
RATHER THAN USING A FENCE USING LESION LANDSCAPE.
YOU'LL STILL SEE SOME A LITTLE BIT OF THE CARS AND A LITTLE BIT, BUT YOU'LL SOFTEN IT UP WITH LANDSCAPE RATHER THAN BUILD A WALL.
THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE BETTER.
PROBABLY, I THINK THAT'S GOOD IDEA TO DO THAT.
>> HOW MANY FEET FROM THE RETAINING WALL WHICH IS ON THE SOUTH TO THAT LINE THERE THAT'S ON THE LEFT OF THE CITY PROPERTY, BECAUSE THAT'S OUR PROPERTY LINE RIGHT THERE? SEE WHERE'S AT IS THE BOTTOM LEFT WHERE IT SAYS CITY OF SOUTH LAKE HAS A SMALL STRIP OF CITY LAND? HOW MANY FEET FROM THAT LINE TO YOUR RETAINING WALL? BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO GO MEASURE IT, WHEN I GET HOME AND SEE I GUESS IT WILL BE THE SOUTH EAST CORNER OF THE BUILDING.
>> FROM THE RETAINING WALL? THERE ARE 50, 55 FEETS SOMEWHERE IN THAT RANGE.
>> ABOUT 50 OR 55 FEET FROM THE RETAINING.
IT LOOKS LIKE JUST GUESSTIMATING IN HERE FROM THE RETAINING WALL TO THE LINE.
>> FROM THAT LINE FROM THAT LINE TO RETAIN LIKE THE SPACE HERE IS 50 FEET?
>> YEAH. FROM THIS LINE TO THIS LINE GOING THIS WAY.
>> THEN ALL THESE LITTLE BLACK CIRCLES, THOSE ARE ALL TREES THAT WILL BE GONE.
>> WE HAD A TREE SURVEY DONE TO SEE WHERE THE TREES ARE.
WE MAY BE ABLE TO SAVE THE ONES THAT ARE CLOSER TO THE CUL-DE-SAC OR FURTHER AWAY.
WE JUST SEE A FEW OF THEM ARE HITTING RIGHT AT THE RETAINING WALL OR CLOSE TO THE PARKING LOT.
THERE'S THREE OR FOUR RIGHT THERE NEXT TO THE BUILDING, MAYBE A FEW MORE.
BUT WHERE WE HAVE TO DISTURB THE SOIL, WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THE TREES.
WE'RE TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF TREES THAT WE LOSE UP THERE.
>> THEN WHERE IS THE MAIN ENTRANCE?
>> ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, THIS IS THE ROAD THAT GOES UP FROM PARKWAY.
>> RIGHT-HAND SIDE THERE. WHERE THAT CIRCLE IS?
>> THE DRIVE GOES TO THE LEFT OFF THAT ROAD OFF THAT PRIVATE DRIVE.
>> IS IT ONE BUSINESS THAT WILL BE INSIDE OR IS THERE A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT BUILDINGS INSIDE.
MIGHT BE FOUR, WE HAVE A SETUP SURVEY UP TO FOUR TENETS THE WAY IT'S SET UP HERE.
[00:25:03]
>> WHAT OTHER GOING TO BE FOUR TENETS.
WHAT ARE WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS WILL BE?
>> DO WE KNOW WHICH BUSINESSES WE WILL BE SEEING?
>> WE DON'T HAVE A RENTED YET.
>> IT COULD BE ANY SORT OF MEDICAL BUSINESS?
>> IF THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
WE LOOKING FOR MEDICAL OFFICE, DOCTOR OFFICES OR THAT TYPE OF THING?
>> HELLO, MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE].
I'M ALSO AT 500 NORTHWOOD TRAIL, THE SAME SAME LOCATION.
JOTTED DOWN A COUPLE OF NOTES HERE.
THE TRAFFIC FLOW STUDY, THAT WOULDN'T BE GOOD IF YOU GUYS ARE CONDUCTING IT.
I'M GOING TO JUMP AROUND IN THIS, BUT THE LIGHTS, IF THIS IS MEDICAL OFFICES THAT ARE OPERATING, LET'S SAY 8:00-5:00 WHY DO WE EVEN NEED THE LIGHTS, IF NO ONE'S THERE, PASS THOSE HOURS? IS THERE SOME KIND OF REQUIREMENT TO DO THAT?
>> WE'LL LOOK AT IT. IT'S A COST OF THE DEVELOPER, BUT NORMALLY WE'LL PUT THEM IN JUST FOR SAFETY CONCERNS.
STAFF, EVEN THOUGH YOU OPEN AT 8:00 A LOT OF TIMES STAFF COMES IN AT 7:00 AND PARTS OF THE YEAR IT IS DARK.
YOU MAY HAVE A DOCTOR DECIDE TO STAY OPEN TO THE 6:00 OR 7:00 O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING, ONE DAY A WEEK OR SOMETHING, THEN HE MAY NEED THE LIGHTS.
>> IF YOU CAN LOOK AT THEM NOT BEING ON 24/7.
>> I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK MOST OF THEM SHUT OFF [NOISE] AT NIGHT.
WE'LL PROBABLY KEEP THE LIGHTS ON.
WE'LL HAVE WALL PACKS OR LIGHTS THAT LIGHT UP THE ENTRIES INTO THE BUILDING AND THOSE WOULD PROBABLY STAY ON ALL NIGHT.
BUT, THE BESIDE LIGHTING NORMALLY GETS SHUT OFF ON A ON A TIMER.
>> THE SAME CONCERN ABOUT NOT OPENING THE PARK WAY DRIVE, WHICH HAS BEEN DISCUSSED JUST FOR THE RECORD.
GETTING THE MAP UPDATED SEEMS LIKE I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEANT ABOUT PIXELATION ON THE SCREEN.
IT SEEMS LIKE A SIMPLE FIX TO SHOW IT CORRECT ON THE MAP, AND IN THE DOCUMENTATION.
I THINK THE LAST QUESTION IS ON THAT WALKWAY, MY OPINION IS A QUESTION AND AN OPINION.
WHY CREATE A WALKWAY THERE? IT WILL ONLY ATTRACT ALTERNATIVE PARKING DESIRES ALONG THE CUL-DE-SAC OR NEAR THEIR RETIREMENT CENTER.
BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PARK NOT RIGHT AT THE CENTER, BUT ELSEWHERE AND JUST WALK THROUGH THAT WALKWAY.
IF YOU DON'T PUT IN THE WALK AWAY, IT WILL DETER THE ALTERNATIVE PARKING SOLUTIONS.
I DON'T SEE A NEED FOR THAT WALKWAY AND I THINK IT WILL ATTRACT ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC THAT IS NOT THERE IN THE CUL-DE-SAC.
I LIVE WITH FEW FEET AWAY FROM THERE.
I KNOW HOW EASY IT IS TO PULL IN THERE FROM THE SOUTH LAKE BOULEVARD. THAT'S IT.
>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> MY NAME IS BILLI HAWAIIAN LIVING AT THE 502 IN OSWALD.
I ONLY HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL QUESTION ON TOP OF WHAT MY NEIGHBORS ASKED.
THE QUESTION WAS THE TYPE OF A MEDICAL PRACTICE THAT THE FUTURE ATTENDANCE WILL BE THERE? THEN THE REASON I'M ASKING THE QUESTION IS I WANT TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF HAZARD MATERIAL THAT POTENTIALLY THAT THE MEDICAL FACILITY IS GOING TO PRODUCE.
>> I DON'T THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT RUNNING OUT TO LABS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT DOCTOR OFFICES.
I'M NOT SURE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF DOCTORS, BUT IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM A PSYCHIATRIST OR A DENTIST, TO A FAMILY DOCTOR TO A SPECIALIST.
I DON'T THINK THERE'LL BE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY AS FAR AS HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
>> THAT WOULD BE WHAT I AM MOST INTERESTED. THANK YOU.
>> THERE IS A [INAUDIBLE] THAT GOES THROUGH THE WOODS.
[00:30:03]
MY ASSUMPTION IS IT DOESN'T GO INTO YOUR PROPERTY LINE.IT'S A STATIONS OF THE CROSS PATH AND IT HAS LITTLE MARKERS ALONG IT AND THAT PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH AND PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAN WALK THROUGH IT.
I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, DOES IT GO INTO YOUR PROPERTY? IF IT DOES, IS IT GOING TO BE DISTURBED? I THINK THE ANSWER WOULD BE NO IF IT'S A NON DISTURBANCE AREA, BUT IT'S POTENTIALLY GOES INTO THAT AREA A LOT.
>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT. WE'LL GO BACK AND LOOK.
IT DIDN'T SHOW UP ON THE SURVEY.
I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING, BUT I'LL GO BACK AND SEE IF WE FIND OUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT WILL WORK WITH THE CHURCH TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT.
>> [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER]. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT GOES.
>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC AUDIENCE THIS EVENING? OKAY, GREAT.
I WILL GO AHEAD AND READ TWO OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT FORUMS THAT WE RECEIVED THIS AFTERNOON FROM CRYSTAL AND DRAW SKI.
I BELIEVE THESE ARE MORE COMMENTS, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO ANSWER THEM IF YOU SEE FIT.
SHE SAYS, "I AM AGAINST THE LAND AT PARKWOOD DRIVE BEING USED TO DEVELOP A MEDICAL BUILDING.
WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF OFFICE SPACES AND MEDICAL BUILDINGS WITH VACANCIES.
THE FIELD IS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL WILD FLOWERS, INCLUDING BLUE BONNETS.
THE CITY HAS BEEN GOING OVER THEM FOR TWO YEARS.
PLEASE LET THEM GROW." THE NEXT ONE IS FROM ELIZABETH, BEDUNA.
THE QUESTION AND COMMENT IS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING ON PARKWOOD DRIVE AS A NEIGHBOR ON ADJACENT NORTHWOOD COURT.
I'M OPPOSED TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.
IT SEEMS INCONSISTENT WITH THE CITY PLAN TO KEEP THE OLD SENIOR CENTER OF GREEN SPACE IN THE CITY.
YOU CAN TRAVEL ONE BLOCK IN EITHER DIRECTION AND FIND AN EMPTY MEDICAL OFFICE FACILITY DIRECTLY OFF OF BYRON NELSON AND TIM ARE ON CROSSING AND NEW MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDINGS AT WHITE CHAPEL IN 1709.
I FEEL THE CITY SHOULD POINT TO THESE VACANT BUILDINGS BEFORE APPROVING THE ADDITION OF MORE.
LASTLY, THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC WOULD COME FROM DEVELOPING THIS AREA WOULD BE IMMENSE.
MANY CHILDREN WALK TO AND FROM SCHOOL ALONG PARKWOOD DRIVE, AND ALSO MANY FAMILIES WALK TO AND FROM THE OLD SENIOR CENTER.
ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS AND TRAFFIC PATTERNS WOULD BE UNSAFE.
NOT TO MENTION THE AMOUNT OF ANIMALS THAT WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY BE DISPLACED IN THE NEIGHBORING POND.
I KNOW THE CITY WILL CONSIDER NOT ALLOWING THIS DEVELOPMENT TO MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU.
>> WE WILL DO A TRAFFIC STUDY JUST FROM MY EXPERIENCE, I WOULD SAY WE'RE BELOW THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE CITY TO REQUIRE A TRAFFIC STUDY, BUT WE'LL GO THROUGH IT AND DO THE CAR COUNT TO SHOW HOW MANY CARS WE BELIEVE WE HAVE.
WE'LL HAVE THAT AS PART OF THE SITE PLAN SUBMISSION WE DO IN THE CITY.
AGAIN, WE'RE DOING THIS BUILDING WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDINGS.
WE'RE NOT ADDING ADDITIONAL DRIVES INTO PARKWOOD.
WE'RE USING THE SAME DRIVES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE.
THEY GO UP TO WHITE CHAPEL METHOD IS TO GO TO CAL ALWAYS IN THE BACK PARKING LOT THERE.
WE ARE KEEPING ABOUT HALF TO A THIRD, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY.
THE TREE PRESERVATION AREA THAT IS AROUND THE RESIDENTIAL AREA, WE'RE NOT DEVELOPING THAT AT ALL. NOT ASKING TOO.
WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO CHANGE ZONING.
WE'RE TRYING TO DESIGN THE BUILDING TO FIT WITHIN THE FABRIC OF WHAT'S ALREADY THERE, AND BEING THE LAST LOT IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AREA.
>> I BELIEVE THOSE ARE THE ONLY QUESTION COMMENT FORUMS WE RECEIVED.
ANY CLOSING COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC BEFORE I END THE MEETING? ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, JERRY, AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR PARTICIPATION IN SPIN THIS EVENING.
REMEMBER, SPIN REPRESENTS THE FIRST STEPS IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
I'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO PLEASE TAKE THE SPIN EXPERIENCE SURVEY.
A SPIN MEETING REPORT WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE AFTER THE MEETING TAKES PLACE.
WE WILL INCLUDE THE SUBMITTED SPIN QUESTION COMMENT FORUMS IN THE MEETING REPORTS AS WELL.
[00:35:01]
JUST AS A REMINDER, THESE REPORTS ARE GENERAL OBSERVATIONS AT THE FORUM.THEY ARE NOT VERBATIM AND INTERESTED PARTIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THE CASE THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
LASTLY, MEETINGS ARE RECORDED AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS AFTER THE MEETING TAKES PLACE.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ATTENDANCE.
