[3. Annual Southlake Youth Action Commission (SYAC) Update]
MS. LOPEZ, WHO'S THE ASSISTANT COMMUNITY SERVICE DIRECTOR.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MY NAME IS MILENKA LOPEZ AND I AM THE ASSISTANT TO THE DIRECTOR FOR THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT, AND I'M ALSO ONE OF OUR STAFF LIAISONS FOR THE YOUTH ACTION COMMISSION.
THEY HAVE SCATTERED TO THE WINDS.
THE MAIN IDEA OF IT WAS TO CREATE A HYPOTHETICAL PLAN PROPOSAL TO EXPAND SHADY OAKS, DRIVE TO FIVE LANES, INCLUDING SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES. IN ORDER TO DO THIS, WE AT SYAC HAD TO CONSULT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW THE CITY'S PROJECTS ARE PLANNED, FROM THE DRAWING BOARD TO CONSTRUCTION DELAYS, ALL THE WAY TO RESIDENT COMMUNICATION AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
HI, MY NAME IS ALISON BEDWELL AND I'M A BOARD MEMBER IN SYAC.
WE LEARNED THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING IS THE FIRST STEP IN STARTING A CIP PROJECT.
FOR EXAMPLE, THIS YEAR WE GOT TO HEAR FROM THE ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT HOW THE REVENUE GENERATED CAME TO BE, AS WELL AS HOW SAID MONEY IS VERY PURPOSELY REALLOCATED IN ORDER TO CREATE BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE AND QUALITY OF LIFE.
WE BELIEVE THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION TO BE AROUND 10 MILLION FOR THE EXPANSION ITSELF.
STARTUP COSTS ARE ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $2 MILLION DOLLARS.
[00:05:03]
IN THESE FUNDS WILL ACCOUNT FOR SECURITY DEPOSITS, SUPPLY INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT.THANK YOU SO MUCH. MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] IN JANUARY, MR. KEVIN TAYLOR, WHO IS A CIVIL ENGINEER, CAME TO SPEAK WITH US OVER PLANNING FOR OUR PROJECT TO EXPAND SHADY OAKS.
FOR CIP HE TOLD US THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT ENGINEERS LOOK FOR WHEN CONSIDERING TO EXPANDING A ROAD SUCH AS SEWAGE LINES, UTILITY LINES, ETC..
SO FOR EXPANDING SHADY OAKS, WE TOOK AWAY THAT WE NEEDED TO CONSIDER THAT THE ROAD WE WANTED TO EXPAND WOULD AFFECT THE ROADS IN THE DRIVEWAYS OF THE MARQ, ON THE NEIGHBORHOODS INTERSECTIONS, AND GENERAL CABLES, PIPES, TELEPHONE LINES, AS WELL AS AFOREMENTIONED SEWAGE AND UTILITY LINES.
SOME IMPORTANT TAKEAWAYS WAS TO START OFF WITH A SOCIAL MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT AND TO MAKE SURE AS MANY PEOPLE ARE INFORMED, AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT COMPLETE AND TOTAL TRANSPARENCY WITH THE CITIZENS.
IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO MENTION STUFF LIKE WEATHER PERMITTING AND POTENTIAL DELAYS, BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH THE CITIZENS AND CONTINUOUSLY UPDATE THEM WITH ANY AND ALL PROGRESS WITH STUFF SUCH AS UPDATES ON WEBSITES OR A NEWSLETTER, AND AFTER WE FINISHED THE CIP PROJECT, WE WOULD SEND OUT A THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND A FEEDBACK SURVEY.
WE LEARNED HOW THE GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATES WITH RESIDENTS DURING THE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CIP PROJECTS AND HOW TO DESIGN SUPPLY, MATERIAL ISSUES AND MANY MORE CAN CAUSE DELAYS.
MY NAME IS SOPHIA [INAUDIBLE].
ONE OF THE EXPERIENCES WE HAD THIS YEAR WAS ADOPT A STREET.
QUARTERLY MEMBERS OF SYAC HELPED CLEAN THE STREET WHILE WEARING YELLOW VESTS AND GLOVES.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, GREAT QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.
WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS PROGRAM, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME AND LEARNED A WHOLE LOT, WHICH IS MOST IMPORTANT, AND HOPEFULLY THEY GOT TO EXPERIENCE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THE CITY KIND OF ADMINISTERS ITS WORK AND ITS SERVICES.
SO. YEAH, I THINK THEY ENJOYED IT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
[4. Southlake Business Spotlight - North Texas Dance Arts Academy]
INTRODUCE THE DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM, MR. DANIEL CORTEZ.DANIEL THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I'M REALLY EXCITED TO INTRODUCE THIS NEW BUSINESS HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.
THESE TWO PHENOMENAL WOMEN JUST OPENED UP HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, AND IF YOU WERE AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AWARDS BANQUET LAST WEEK, THEY WERE ALSO THE ONES INSTRUCTING ON HOW TO LINE DANCE AS WELL, BUT HERE'S THEIR VIDEO AND GET TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEIR STUDIO.
[00:10:06]
I'M RACHEL WADE AND WE ARE AT THE CO-FOUNDERS AND DIRECTORS OF NORTH TEXAS DANCE ARTS ACADEMY.PRESENTATION] WE ARE LOCATED AT [INAUDIBLE] COMMERCE INSIDE OF THE WE ARE A NONPROFIT DAYTIME AND DANCE ORGANIZATION HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.
WE PRIMARILY SERVE THE WE'RE SERIOUS DANCERS IN GRADES 6 TO 12 [MUSIC] AND DO ACADEMICS WITH US IN THE MORNINGS AND THE DANCE IN AFTERNOON.
WE INTENTIONALLY KEEP OUR CLASSES SMALL SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A LOT OF 1 TO 1 MENTORSHIP THAT HAPPENS, AND WE CAN LOOK AT THE CHILD AS A WHOLE RATHER THAN JUST THEM IN THE DANCE CLASS, HOW THEY'RE PERFORMING IN THAT MOMENT.
BUT WE CAN GET A LARGER PICTURE OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR LIFE AND IN THEIR EDUCATION SO THAT WE CAN REALLY KIND OF HELP GUIDE THEIR GROWTH, AND MENTOR THEM ALL ALONG THE WAY AS THEY'RE SETTING GOALS AND HELP THEM ACHIEVE THIS, AND SOMETHING ELSE THAT SETS US APART IS THAT WE BOTH HAVE MASTER'S DEGREES IN DANCE EDUCATION.
SO WE ARE LIFELONG LEARNERS WE'RE REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT, NOT JUST DANCE AS A PERFORMING ART, BUT AS EDUCATION, AND ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT PARTNERING WITH FAMILIES AND PARENTS AND HOW TO USE MOVEMENT TO REINFORCE WHAT THEY'RE LEARNING IN SCHOOL OR HERE WITH US AT THE CONSERVATORY.
SO WE OFFER CLASSES FOR AGES TWO AND A HALF TO ADULT RIGHT NOW IN BALLET, CONTEMPORARY, TAPPING WE ARE ALSO ADDING HIP HOP IN THE FALL AND WE'LL BE ADDING AFTERNOON CLASSES IN THE FALL AS WELL.
THE BEST WAY TO REACH US IS TO SHOOT US AN EMAIL AND THAT EMAIL IS INFO@NORTHTEXASDANCEARTS.COM.
YOU CAN ALSO FIND FURTHER DETAILS ON OUR WEBSITE WHICH IS NORTHTEXASDANCEARTS.COM.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO STOP BY AND VISIT.
WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME OUT AND GET TO KNOW YOU, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
BYE. ALL RIGHT, EXCELLENT, AND THEY'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS NOW, HUH? THEY ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS, AND THEY'LL ALSO BE AT OUR ANNUAL STARS AND STRIPES EVENT AS WELL, DOING SOME GREAT PERFORMANCES.
NOT MAKING US LINE DANCE, THOUGH.
NOT LINE DANCING. OKAY, ALL RIGHT, [LAUGHTER] I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
MAKE SURE WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO.
SO I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE REALLY SUCCESSFUL AND WE OBVIOUSLY WISH THEM ALL THE BEST.
THANKS FOR THE SPOTLIGHT, SIR.
[5. Southlake Chamber of Commerce Updates]

WE'RE MAKING GOOD HEADWAY IN REGAINING BACK TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE COVID.
WE WENT FROM ABOUT 600, GIVE OR TAKE DOWN TO ABOUT 500.
SO WE'RE WORKING OUR WAY BACK.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RIGHT HERE, SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN ON OUR BOARD BEFORE OR MIGHT CURRENTLY BE AN EX-OFFICIO ON IT, BUT ANYWAY, GREAT FOLKS HELPING US OUT THERE, AND WE WANT TO SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO DANIEL CORTEZ FOR BEING SUCH A GOOD LIAISON FOR THE CITY.

[00:15:02]
SO WE WANT TO CONGRATULATE HER.SHE WAS ALSO A REALLY GOOD HELP AT THE AWARDS BANQUET JUST TO GIVE HER A SHOUT OUT.
ALL RIGHT? WE CONTINUE TO DO OUR MORNING NETWORKING GROUP.
IT'S BEEN A GREAT VENUE FOR US.
THEY'RE NOW STARTING TO SERVE BREAKFAST, SO IT'S PICKING UP MOMENTUM.
THAT ALONE BROUGHT IN SOME NEW FRIENDS.
ON THE SECOND AND FOURTH TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH.
ALL RIGHTY, SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A KNEE ON THIS NEXT BUSINESS INSIDERS LUNCHEON.
IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY AND STUFF.
SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO SKIP THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO COME RIGHT BACK WITH THE ROCK STAR DANIEL CORTEZ ON AUGUST THE FOURTH.
ALL RIGHT, BUTTONS ON OK, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR PRAYER BREAKFAST.
IT'S ON JULY THE SEVENTH AND IT'S GOING TO BE AT 8 A.M..
WE STILL GO TO THE FEEDSTORE BARBECUE.
WE FELT LIKE PEOPLE NEEDED IT AND IT'S SUCCEEDING VERY WELL.
ALL RIGHTY, THAT SILLY PICTURE THERE, MAUREEN, PUT IN THERE, BUT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS.
THE CITY HAS SO KINDLY GIVEN US AN OPPORTUNITY TO RUN THE BARS HERE FOR THE 3RD OF JULY CELEBRATION, AND WE ARE CLOSE TO GETTING THE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS WE NEED, BUT WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD IN THE BACKGROUND TO GET READY FOR IT AND WE'RE EXCITED, AND AGAIN, WE JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
ALL RIGHTY, SO YOU HEARD FROM THEM JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, BUT WE'VE GRADUATED THE LAST LEADERSHIP CLASS THAT A GREAT PROJECT THEIR HEART WAS TO DO SOMETHING NICE FOR THE RESTAURANTS AND SO THEY GENERATED $14,000 FOR THEM, AND THAT WAS JUST A REALLY NICE, HEARTWARMING THING THEY DID.
ALL RIGHTY, AND THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE ROSTER OF THE CLASS PARTICIPANTS OF THIS LAST YEAR.
IT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF WHO IT WAS.
MANY OF YOU WERE THERE AND I APPRECIATED THOSE OF YOU THAT MISSED IT.
YOU MISSED IT. MY STAFF, JUST SUCH A GREAT JOB.
I'M SO PROUD OF THEM WITH THE WAY THEY'VE DEVELOPED THE ANNUAL CHAMBER AWARDS BANQUET.
THIS ONE HAD ANOTHER ONE OF RYAN DAVIS' MASTERPIECES TO GET US STARTED, BUT WE RECOGNIZE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT EVENING, WANT TO THANK THE CITY THERE; CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LEGACY AWARD. [INAUDIBLE] AGAIN THANK YOU.
THE PRESIDENTS AWARD AND KUSH SHOUT OUT TO A GOOD FRIEND KUSH FOR CITIZEN OF THE YEAR.
WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE BUY HATS.
IT WAS A GOOD EVENING, GREAT BAND.
IF YOU WERE WILLING, YOU COULD TAKE YOUR PICTURE WITH AN ACTUAL LIVE LONGHORN.
SO THAT WAS KIND OF AN INTERESTING ELEMENT.
JUST SOME MORE PICTURES OF SOME THINGS FROM AROUND THE EVENING, BUT AGAIN, IT HAD A LOT OF FUN, FLAIR AND WHIMSY, AND I THINK SINCE WE KIND OF DID MORE OF A COWBOY THEME, MORE PEOPLE WERE COMFORTABLE KIND OF GETTING INTO IT, AS OPPOSED TO SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS WE'VE DONE WHERE THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE THE RIGHT ATTIRE OR WHATEVER, BUT ANYWAY, IT WAS JUST A FUN EVENING AND LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR ALREADY, AND YOU GUYS KNOW ME, SO I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT OCTOBERFEST.
[CHUCKLING] YES, SIR. SORT OF THAT GOOFY PICTURE IS WHAT I'M GOING TO BE KNOWN FOR.
A GREAT PICTURE. [CHUCKLING] SO THIS YEAR.
OH, MY GOSH. I'LL KEEP IT SHORT, BUT I'M VERY EXCITED.
WE HAVE SO MUCH STUFF COMING THIS YEAR.
[00:20:03]
WE'RE FLYING THEM IN FROM CALIFORNIA AND WE HAVE A NEW THING THIS YEAR.IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG VIDEO GAME CONTEST ON SUNDAY ON THAT GIANT SCREEN.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY ON THE COMMITTEE.
THEY'RE HELPING US AS WELL, AND THEY'RE WORKING WITH US ON STREET PERFORMERS AND STUFF.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO KIND OF DISNEY IT UP.
SCARBOROUGH FAIR IT UP A LITTLE BIT WITH A LOT MORE FLAIR.
WE WERE HONORED WITH WINNING SOME AWARD FOR BEING THE NUMBER ONE OCTOBERFEST IN TEXAS AND NUMBER FOUR IN THE UNITED STATES, AND SO WE WANT TO KEEP IT GOING, AND SO WE'VE ALSO THIS YEAR GOT BIG MARKETING PLANS.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING A RADIO [INAUDIBLE].
WE HAVEN'T DONE ONE IN FOREVER JUST BECAUSE OF LIMITED FUNDS.
WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET AS MANY FOLKS TO DISCOVER WHAT A GREAT TIME WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING THEM, AND WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS I THINK WILL HOLD THEM THERE , AND SO I HOPE THIS IS A GREAT THING FOR TOURISM.
ANYWAY, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IN A NUTSHELL WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO.
I LOVE IT. WELL, THANKS, MARK.
I MEAN, YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB ON THE AWARDS.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BLAST. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? WELL, THANK YOU, SIR. THANKS FOR THE UPDATE.
IT'S GOOD TO HEAR YOU GUYS ARE GOING STRONG.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR SMALL BUSINESSES.
YOU HAVE A GOOD EVENING. ALL RIGHT, THANKS, MARTIN.
[6. Southlake Sanctuary Update]
WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX.I'M INTRODUCING ROBERT BRIGGS, WHO IS OUR OPERATIONS MANAGER FOR SPECIAL PROJECTS, WHO'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE PROPOSED SANCTUARY PROJECT AND GIVING US AN UPDATE OF KIND OF SOME OF THE WORK THAT HE'S BEEN DOING BEHIND THE SCENES.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
IT'S ANOTHER UPDATE FOR YOU ON THIS SANCTUARY PROJECT.
SO GETTING RIGHT INTO IT, JUST TO REVIEW WHERE WE'VE COME FROM AND WHERE WE'RE AT TONIGHT.
AS YOU ALL REMEMBER, THE IDEA CAME UP AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT FIRST WHEN OUR WORKSHOP THAT TOOK US INTO THE SIDE ANALYSIS THAT WAS COMPLETED, THAT WAS THE LAST UPDATE THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU ALL AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, AND WE'VE GONE INTO THE RESEARCH OF ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAD AT THAT MEETING, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR THIS EVENING.
JUST A QUICK SUMMARY AND REMINDER OF THE SITE ANALYSIS RESULTS OUT OF ALL THE POSSIBLE LOCATIONS THAT WERE REVIEWED, THOSE TWO CALLED HILLSIDE AND [INAUDIBLE] THAT ARE BASICALLY CO-LOCATED THERE JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE CURRENT NATURE CENTER WHERE THE TWO LOCATIONS THAT WERE DEEMED VIABLE FOR THIS PROJECT, BUT WE'RE HERE TONIGHT FOR THESE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES, WHICH IS TO UPDATE YOU ON STAFF FINDINGS, OBVIOUSLY, AND THEN ALSO GATHER FURTHER DIRECTION FROM YOU ON THE DESIRED NEXT STEPS FOR CITY STAFF.
AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, GATHER FROM THE PROJECT SCOPE MOVING FORWARD.
SO THIS EVENING, THERE'S GOING TO BE THREE CONCEPTS THAT ARE PRESENTED.
THE ONE ON THE LEFT HERE IS JUST A VISUAL OF WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE LITTLE RUSTIC CONCEPT.
THE MIDDLE HERE IS, OF COURSE, THE ANTITHESIS FOR THIS PROJECT, AND IT'S A PICTURE OF THE MILDRED B.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE E.
PRIOR TO GETTING INTO EACH OF THESE.
IS IT THE BOWDEN IN KELLER? IT IS THE BOWDEN. YES, SIR.
THAT'S A BIG ONE. IT'S A BIG ONE.
STAFF RESEARCHED SIMILAR STYLE STRUCTURES AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS, UTILIZING OPEN SOURCE MATERIALS, AND ALSO CONSULTED WITH STAFF EXPERTS ACROSS THE CITY AS WELL AS A FEW OF OUR WILLING EXTERNAL PARTNERS AS WELL.
SO JUST TO RUN THROUGH SOME ADDITIONAL LITTLE RUSTIC CONCEPTS, THE ONE ON THE LEFT HERE IS THE LITTLE WREN CHAPEL LOCATED IN ROCKWALL, TEXAS, AND IT SEATS UP TO 99 GUESTS.
IT IS FULLY ENCLOSED, HAS AN HVAC AND ALL THAT.
THIS ONE HERE IS ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.
THE CHAPEL THAT WAS ON THERE IS CALLED THE EMERSON.
IT'S LOCATED IN KAUFMAN, TEXAS, AND IT SEATS UP TO 150 GUESTS.
ANOTHER OPTION IS YOU CAN GO WITH OPEN AIR.
YOU KNOW, THE SMALLER CONCEPT, A LITTLE RUSTIC OPTION.
OPEN AIR CHAPELS ARE ALL OVER TEXAS AS WELL.
[00:25:04]
THIS ONE HERE IS AT THE 7F LODGE.THE NEXT ONE HERE IS THE DIAMOND H3 RANCH.
THIS IS THEIR CHAPEL AND INCLUDING THE AREA THEY CAN SEE LOCATED AROUND THE COVER.
THEY CAN SEAT UP TO 200 GUESTS.
THEY'RE CO-LOCATED WITH THE FULL EVENT VENUE.
A LOT OF THESE SMALLER ONES ARE CO-LOCATED WITH LIKE A BED AND BREAKFAST CONCEPT.
SO THERE'S LIKE MATCHING ARCHITECTURE STRUCTURES FOR LITTLE CABINS THAT PEOPLE STAY IN AND BRIDAL SUITES AND THAT KIND OF THING, AND THERE'S ALSO A RECEPTION AREA AND THAT SORT OF THING WITH THESE CONCEPTS HERE.
THEY'RE ALSO ALL PRIVATELY OWNED.
SO THE COST TO CONSTRUCT THIS CONCEPTS FOR THE FULL STRUCTURE WITH HVAC AND NOT AN OPEN AIR CONCEPT ESSENTIALLY WOULD BE 3.2 OR 3.8 MILLION.
FOR THE OPEN AIR, IT WOULD BE 1 TO 1.5.
THIS DOES INCLUDE THE COST OF CONSTRUCTING A SUPPLEMENTARY STRUCTURE BECAUSE WITH ALL OF THESE CONCEPTS, AGAIN, IT IS A STANDALONE CHAPEL, THERE'S NO RESTROOMS AND THAT SORT OF THING LOCATED WITHIN THAT STRUCTURE.
THERE'S A SEPARATE BUILDING WHERE THOSE ARE LOCATED, SO IT DOES ACCOUNT FOR THAT COST.
FAY JONES CONCEPT. THESE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF CHAPELS THAT E.
IT'S NOT IN THE WOODS LIKE THESE OTHER TWO IN THE OZARKS.
IT'S ACTUALLY RIGHT BEHIND A CENTRAL MARKET.
COOPER ON THE LEFT, AND THEN THESE LAST TWO, THEY WEREN'T DESIGNED BY E.
FAY JONES, BUT THEY HAVE A PRETTY SIMILAR STYLE.
THE HOLY FAMILY SHRINES IN NEBRASKA.
SO THIS STYLE STRUCTURE, TALL, LONG.
IT CAN FIT IN THE GRASSLANDS OR THE PLAINS AND THEN ON THE RIGHT.
THE COST, OBVIOUSLY, FOR THIS CONCEPT WOULD BE A LITTLE HIGHER ARCHITECTURAL FEES, THE ENGINEERING FEES, THE MATERIALS NEEDED TO CONSTRUCT SOMETHING THAT'S TALLER. ALL THE GLASS ALSO THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT THIS TYPE OF STRUCTURE WOULD RAISE THE COST.
THIS IS ALSO ACCOUNTING, AGAIN, FOR A 2000 SQUARE FOOT FOOTPRINT.
ALL IT IS IS THE SANCTUARY OR THE CHAPEL SPACE.
SO JUST TO COVER THE FOOTPRINT THAT THESE TWO OPTIONS WE JUST COVERED WOULD LOOK LIKE UP AT THE NATURE CENTER, THE YELLOW RECTANGLE YOU SEE THERE IN THE MIDDLE WOULD BE THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE, THE OUTER RECTANGLE THAT'S LIGHT GREEN WOULD BE JUST LIKE A 15 FOOT EASEMENT AROUND THE BUILDING, ESSENTIALLY WHERE A SIDEWALK AND LANDSCAPING WOULD GO.
THAT WINDING GRAY LINE WOULD BE A POTENTIAL PATHWAY.
IT'S DRAWN THERE ON TOP OF AN EXISTING TRAIL.
IT WOULD HAVE TO WIND LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE IT ADA ACCESSIBLE.
SO AS THE CROW FLIES FROM THE PARKING LOT TO THE STRUCTURE, IT'S ONLY ABOUT 300 YARDS, BUT THIS PATHWAY WOULD NEED TO BE MUCH LONGER IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE GRADING THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO MAKE IT ADA ACCESSIBLE.
ANOTHER THING WE WOULD HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE IS FD ACCESS.
WE WOULD HAVE TO GET FIRE, AT LEAST WITH MY TALKS WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE'D HAVE TO GET THEM WITHIN AT LEAST 150 FEET OF THE STRUCTURE WHERE WE COULD PUT AN FDC THAT WAY FROM THAT POINT FORWARD.
IT COULD LOOK LIKE IT WAS JUST OUT IN THE WOODS.
SO THERE ARE SOME OPTIONS THERE, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO AT LEAST HAVE A FIRE ACCESS A FIRE LANE.
SO SOMETHING 21 FOOT WIDE LEADING UP TO AT LEAST 150 FOOT FROM THE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
SO IN ADDITION TO THE ADA COMPLIANT PATHWAY, YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE A 20 FOOT WIDE FIRE LANE.
[00:30:06]
YOU COULD MAKE IT BOTH THE SAME PATHWAY.IT'S JUST THAT FIRST PORTION OF THE PATHWAY WOULD BE 21 FOOT WIDE.
YOU CAN MAKE THAT ADA ACCESSIBLE AS WELL, AND THEN 150 FEET AWAY, YOU COULD MAYBE PUT SOME BOLLARDS AND THEN NARROW IT TO LIKE EIGHT FOOT PATH, AND THEN YOU COULD MAKE IT TO WHERE IT WAS JUST ACCESSIBLE BY A GOLF CART AND FOOT TRAFFIC.
THOSE THINGS WOULD ALL DEPEND ON 150 FEET.
I MEAN, THAT'S A MAJORITY OF THE PATHWAY.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BEING 21 FEET WIDE, RIGHT? IT WOULD DEPEND A LOT ON HOW MUCH IT WOULD HAVE TO WIND, BUT IT'S A GOOD PORTION OF IT.
YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T GET WITH AN ADA COMPANY OR ANYTHING.
SO UNTIL THAT POINT, THERE'S A 21 FOOT WIDE CONCRETE ROAD, BASICALLY.
THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL OPTIONS THERE AS WELL.
LIKE I TALKED WITH WITH CHIEF CLEMENT ABOUT, THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED GRASSCRETE WHERE THERE'S A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS IT WHERE THE GRASS GROWS OVER IT.
IT COULD SUPPORT A FIRE APPARATUS IF NEED BE.
SO THERE'S SOME OPTIONS THERE, BUT IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO CONSIDER.
FIRE WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THIS BUILDING TO PUT OUT A FIRE IF THERE WAS ONE, BUT THERE IS A MINIMAL FOOTPRINT WITH THESE TWO OPTIONS, WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS SLIDE, AND WE COULD USE THE EXISTING PARKING AREA.
I FAILED TO MENTION THAT AS WELL.
SO THE LAST CONCEPT IS THE BIG ONE.
THIS RIGHT HERE IS A PHOTO OF THE LAUREL.
IT'S IN GRAPEVINE, TEXAS, AND MY PLACE HERE, IT SEATS UP TO 260 IN THEIR CHAPEL.
THEIR CHAPEL IS ACTUALLY LOCATED BACK HERE ON THIS SIDE HERE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THOUGH, ALL UNDER ONE ROOF, THEY HAVE A CHAPEL, THEY HAVE A RECEPTION AREA.
THEY HAVE CHANGING ROOMS. THEY HAVE RESTROOMS, A FULL KITCHEN TO SUPPORT CATERING AND SUCH.
THIS NEXT PHOTO HERE IS OF THE ARISTIDE.
IT'S IN COLLEYVILLE, AND AGAIN, IT IS ANOTHER 275 GUEST FACILITY, MUCH LIKE THE LAUREL.
IT'S AN ALL ENCOMPASSING EVENT VENUE.
IT HAS EVERYTHING UNDER ONE ROOF.
IS THAT THE PIAZZA? I'M SORRY? THE PIAZZA.
WHAT IS IT CALLED? SOMETHING ELSE NOW. IT USED TO BE CALLED THE PIAZZA.
I'M SORRY. YEAH, IT'S THE ARISTIDE NOW.
A POINT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS, THEIR PARKING LOT IS 200 SPOTS. SO A 275 GUEST FACILITY REQUIRES A 200 SPOT PARKING LOT.
HOW MANY SPOTS IS BOB JONES RIGHT NOW? BOB JONES IS 60 PAVED.
RIGHT, I HAVE A SLIDE HERE, SIR, AND I THINK IT'S THE NEXT ONE WHERE I GO OVER THE PARKING AREA.
SORRY TO JUMP. NO, THAT'S OKAY, BUT, YEAH, WE WOULD NEED TO CONSTRUCT AN ADDITIONAL PARKING LOT FOR THIS CONCEPT, FOR SURE, AND THEN THE LAST ONE HERE IS THE BOWDEN LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S IN KELLER.
AGAIN, IT'S A FULL EVENT VENUE, EVERYTHING UNDER ONE ROOF.
SO WHEN YOU SEE THE NUMBERS HERE, THAT'S WHAT WE WENT WITH FOR PUTTING TOGETHER THIS CONCEPT, THE VENUES THAT ALLOWED FOR GUEST CAPACITY AND THERE WERE SOME MENTION IN OUR PREVIOUS MEETINGS ABOUT TRYING TO MAKE A FACILITY THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO HOUSE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE.
THE COST TO CONSTRUCT THE BIG ONE CONCEPT AGAIN AT 8000 SQUARE FEET, ABOUT 300 GUESTS WOULD BE SOMEWHERE IN THE RANGE OF 12.2 TO 14.6 MILLION, AND THEN TO KIND OF ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, MAYOR, THE PARKING LOT, THAT'D BE THE LIGHT GREEN AREA HERE.
THAT'D BE THE PARKING AREA ACQUIRED FOR A FACILITY AS LARGE AS THIS.
[00:35:02]
THIS WOULD BE A 15 FOOT SPACE AROUND THE BUILDING FOR A SIDEWALK AND LANDSCAPING.THIS WOULD BE THE PARKING LOT AREA THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR A STRUCTURE OF THIS SIZE, AND THEN WE WOULD NEED TO CONSTRUCT A ROAD THAT WOULD CONNECT THE EXISTING PARK PARKING AREA TO THE NEW PARKING AREA IF WE WERE TO GO WITH THIS OPTION.
WITH THIS, IT IS A PRETTY LARGE FOOTPRINT.
BEFORE I GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS LAYER HERE FROM GIS, IT'S PRETTY USEFUL WHEN IT COMES TO USING GIS BECAUSE IT'S FROM THE WINTERTIME AND YOU DON'T SEE A WHOLE LOT OF THE FOLIAGE.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDINGS PRETTY WELL, LIKE THE NATURE CENTER HERE IN THE OLD BARN, BUT JUST TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE AND THE AREA THAT THIS WOULD TAKE UP AND THE AMOUNT OF TREES THAT WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED TO ACCOMMODATE THIS SIZED STRUCTURE, THAT'S WHAT THIS SLIDE HERE IS FOR.
IT'S EVERYTHING WITHIN THE YELLOW.
THIS WOULD BE THE PARKING AREA AND THEN THIS WOULD BE THE STRUCTURE.
ONE LAST CONSIDERATION BEFORE WE MOVE INTO THE NUMBERS IS THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS PUT TOGETHER THEIR MASTER PLAN AND THEY PROPOSED IT LAST WEEK ACTUALLY, AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE AREA AROUND BOB JONES PARK AND THEN THE EXISTING NATURE CENTER BARN AND THEN WHERE THE SANCTUARY WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED IS ALL THIS KIND OF GRAYISH BLUE AND IT IS ALL DESIGNATED AS ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREA.
JUST ANOTHER ANOTHER CONSIDERATION FOR CONSTRUCTING AND THE SIZE WE CONSTRUCT OUT THERE.
SO FOR FUNDING POSSIBILITIES THERE'S SOME DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN GO ABOUT RAISING FUNDS TO PUT TOWARDS A PROJECT LIKE THIS, NAMING RIGHTS, DEDICATIONS OF BENCHES, TREE PLANTING, CHANGING SUITES, THAT KIND OF THING.
WE'VE HAD SOME MENTION OF SOME PRIVATE DONATIONS THAT THEY'D BE WILLING TO MAKE, BUT NO MATTER WHAT CONCEPT IS SELECTED, NO MATTER ANY OF THESE SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS THAT COME IN THE CITY WOULD BE FOOTING THE BILL FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS PROJECT, AND LIKELY IT WOULD HAVE TO ISSUE DEBT TO DO SO AND ONE MORE THING, TOO, IS THAT AFTER BUILDING IT, OBVIOUSLY THE OPERATIONAL COSTS WOULD INCREASE AND WOULD GO FORWARD AS WELL.
SO JUST SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS.
I'LL JUST GO OVER IT. THE TRENDS NOT TO ALLUDE TO THE FACT THAT THE NEW SANCTUARY WOULD BE ONLY USED FOR WEDDINGS, BUT FROM WHAT WE COULD GATHER FROM OPEN SOURCE THINGS LIKE BRIDE MAGAZINE, THEKNOT.COM, MARTHA STEWART LIVING THOSE THOSE KIND OF SOURCES.
THE AVERAGE SIZE OF A WEDDING IN THE US IS BETWEEN 50 TO 150.
IT WAS LIKE 131 PRIOR TO COVID.
IT WENT DOWN TO 66 DURING COVID AND IT'S RECOVERED TO THE LOW 100 POST-COVID SO FAR, THAT'S ALL CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE SEE AT LEGENDS HALL AS WELL.
IN FACT, LEGENDS HALL HAS ACTUALLY CREATED A A NEW MICRO WEDDING PACKAGE TO CATER TO THE SMALLER WEDDINGS OF ALL OF THESE. SO MOVING ON TO THE HOURLY RATES, AGAIN, THIS IS CONSIDERING THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND BRING IN BUSINESS.
WE DON'T WANT TO OUT PRICE ANYONE TRYING TO COME IN TO HOST A WEDDING AT A SANCTUARY.
SO THIS IS A BASELINE FEE JUST FOR USE OF THE FACILITY AND A MINIMUM HOUR IF YOU WANT TO GO THE ROUTE THAT THOSE OTHER VENUES GO WHERE YOU'RE OFFERING FLOWER PACKAGES AND WEDDING PLANNING PACKAGES, AND MINISTER, AND THERE'S A WHOLE LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS YOU CAN ADD ON.
OBVIOUSLY, THOSE HOURLY RATES WOULD INCREASE.
THESE ARE THE THREE CONCEPTS AND THE OPERATIONAL INCREASE THAT'S EXPECTED.
ONE AND A HALF FTES WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THIS NEW FACILITY.
FAY JONES CONCEPTS AND 12 AT THE BIG ONE.
[00:40:12]
SO THE COST RECOVERY EXAMPLE ONE.THIS MIRRORS THE 50 EVENTS AT BOTH THE SMALLER CONCEPTS AND 12 AT THE LARGER ONE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, BEST CASE SCENARIO, YEAR ONE, WE ACTUALLY GET TO THESE NUMBERS.
THE COST RECOVERY IS STILL QUITE LOW WITH 15 WITH LITTLE RUSTIC 18% E.
FAY JONES AND ONLY 8% AT THE BIG ONE.
JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE HERE IS JUST IF WE WERE TO TRIPLE THOSE NUMBERS, WHICH AGAIN ISN'T LIKELY, BUT IF WE WERE TO TRIPLE THOSE NUMBERS AT THE SMALLER CONCEPTS AND DOUBLE THEM AT THE BIG ONE, WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY RAISE THE COST RECOVERY EXAMPLE.
SO THIS IS THE LAST SLIDE BEFORE WE GET INTO THE DISCUSSION.
SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN IS LISTED HERE AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S GREEN THE AREA AROUND THIS WOULD BE WHERE THE SANCTUARY WOULD GO RIGHT HERE.
IT'S DESIGNATED AS PUBLIC PARK AND OPEN SPACE.
THE PROCESS THAT'D BE REQUIRED IS THERE ON THE BOTTOM.
YOU'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS NO MATTER WHICH CONCEPT WOULD BE SELECTED.
THE MAIN TAKE AWAY FROM HERE, THOUGH, IS THAT IF YOU WERE TO GO WITH THE BIG ONE CONCEPT, A ZONING CHANGE WOULD ACTUALLY BE NECESSARY BECAUSE THE USE WOULD NO LONGER MEET THE PLATTING THAT'S CURRENTLY DESIGNATED FOR THOSE TWO PLATS THERE.
SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO OPEN UP FOR DISCUSSION, AND ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.
SO I HEARD YOU TALK ABOUT ALL THREE OF THE DIFFERENT SCOPES AND CONCEPTS.
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS AND NONPROFITS AND RANCHES, AND DID YOU FIND ANY THAT WERE PUBLIC FACILITIES? WERE ANY OF THE ONES THAT WE LOOKED AT ACTUAL PUBLIC FACILITIES? AS IN THE CITY, BUILT THEM, MAINTAIN THEM, OPERATED THEM.
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING LIKE THAT? NO, SIR. I DID NOT FIND ANY OF THE EXAMPLES THAT I PROVIDED WERE ALL EITHER PRIVATELY OWNED OR MANAGED BY NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
I THINK THE CLOSEST THING WOULD BE THE I FORGOT THE NAME OF THE CHAPEL THAT SIXTH ONE THAT WAS IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. THAT ONE USED TO BE RUN BY THE CITY.
IT'S OUT OF BOTANICAL GARDENS OF KANSAS CITY, BUT IT IS NOW A NONPROFIT, AND THAT CHANGE HAPPENED I THINK BACK IN THE EIGHTIES, IF I RECALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AT THIS POINT? I'LL GO FIRST, MAYOR.
LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, THIS PRESENTATION WAS FANTASTIC.
A LOT OF RESEARCH, A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION.
SO MY COMMENTS AREN'T DIRECTED AT THE PRESENTATION, BUT I JUST DON'T GET IT.
FROM HAVING BEEN ON THE BOB JONES NATURE CENTER BOARD AND THE MISSION TO PRESERVE THAT SPACE.
THE NATURE CENTER IN THAT AREA OF SOUTHLAKE IS CERTAINLY WORTH LOOKING AT, BUT I JUST DON'T GET IT.
AS FAR AS THE COST AND THE RECOVERY AND THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
WITH SOME OF THE THINGS WE HAVE COMING UP FROM A CAPITAL PROJECT STANDPOINT WITH SPORTS FIELDS, I MEAN, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SIX, $7 MILLION, I THINK I'D BE LOOKING AT SPORTS FIELDS BEFORE I'D BE PUTTING SIX OR $7 MILLION INTO THIS AND I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO WORK, WHERE YOU GET 50 EVENTS A YEAR--THAT'S FOUR A MONTH--TO MAKE IT WORK JUST FROM THE OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT.
SO I APPLAUD THE WORK I REALLY DO.
I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT I'D BE COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD BEYOND THIS FOR THOSE REASONS.
TO ECHO MAYOR HUFFMAN'S POINT AND COUNCILMAN MCCASKILL'S SO I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO PRIMARILY BE FUNDED BY PRIVATE SOURCES.
[00:45:03]
I WOULD NOT BE SUPPORTIVE OF THE CITY FOOTING THE BILL FOR SUCH A FACILITY, CERTAINLY NOT IN BOB JONES PARK. WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW MUCH OF A DISRUPTION IT WILL POTENTIALLY BE, I MEAN, YOU LOOK AT THE THAT WAS A CIRCUITOUS PATH.I MEAN, IT'D BE KIND OF COOL TO WALK DOWN GETTING TO THE SMALLER WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? THE RUSTIC.
THE RUSTIC, BUT THAT'S STILL A MILLION BUCKS.
RIGHT, AND THAT MUCH OF A DISRUPTION TO THAT PART OF THE CITY THAT IS SUCH A PRIZED POSSESSION.
WE WOULD BE FOOTING THE BILL FOR IT.
I JUST MY THOUGHT IS YOU WENT THROUGH THAT.
I WAS LIKE, MAN, GREAT JOB. I LOVE THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION, BUT I'M LIKE, WHY WOULD WE PUT IT THERE IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS, IF THERE'S SUCH A NEED, LET'S LET'S HAVE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FUNDS AND LET'S JUST NOT PUT IT IN BOB JONES PARK.
I MEAN, SO LIKE I SAID, I'M REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF THE WORK YOU'VE DONE.
SO I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE IN SUPPORT OF THIS.
I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY COOL IDEA.
WE'VE HAD THREE CHILDREN GET MARRIED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS, SO I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE WHOLE SANCTUARY WEDDING FACILITY TOURING THING AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A REALLY COOL AMENITY TO THE CITY.
LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS AND SEEING ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO IT.
I WAS SITTING HERE THINKING THE SAME THING.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THE CITY COULD TAKE THIS ON ADDING AT LEAST 1.5 FULL TIME EMPLOYEES.
THEN YOU'VE GOT MAINTENANCE. I'M SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT WHAT WENT INTO THE WEDDINGS THAT WE JUST DID, AND IT IS MORE THAN JUST HAVING A SANCTUARY, SITTING THERE, RENTING IT OUT BY THE HOUR. THERE'S JUST MORE THAT GOES INTO THAT FOR IT TO BE REAL SUCCESSFUL, WHICH I THINK IS WHY WE'RE NOT FINDING ANY OTHER FACILITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT ARE OWNED BY CITIES.
WE'RE FINDING THEM PRIVATELY HELD BECAUSE THEY DO COME IN AND THEY OFFER THE CATERING AND THE FLOWERS, AND THEY HAVE ALL THOSE PARTNERS WITH FULL KITCHENS AND BRIDAL SUITES, AND IT'S A WHOLE THING.
SO I'M KIND OF LEANING IN THE SAME DIRECTION WHERE I THOUGHT I WAS REALLY GOING TO BE ON BOARD AND I'M TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT, AND I'M NOT SO SURE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD DISRUPT BOB JONES PARK FOR, AND THEN I'M NOT SURE OF THE SUCCESS OF IT IF IT'S JUST A STANDALONE LITTLE BUILDING.
I RECOGNIZE A LOT OF THOSE FACILITIES.
I GUESS WHEN IT WAS FIRST PRESENTED TO US, I WAS INTERESTED IN LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER LEPP SAID, JUST SEEING IT GO FORWARD AND SEEING WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE, BUT I GUESS FROM AT THAT POINT TO ME I ENVISIONED SOMETHING SMALL MORE.
I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT COMPETING WITH THE MARK.
WE WANT THE MARK TO CONTINUE TO BE LEGENDS HALL, CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH ALL OF THEIR PROGRAMING, AND ALSO THERE ARE SO MANY WEDDING VENUES IN OUR AREA. THERE'S JUST SO MANY, A LOT OF THEM.
IT JUST AND TO AMY'S POINT, THERE'S A LOT MORE TO IT THAN JUST RENTING OUT THE SPACE.
I FEEL LIKE WE WOULD PROBABLY LIKELY NEED MORE STAFF AND A LOT MORE MORE THINGS ARE INVOLVED WITH THAT, AND WE DO HAVE A LOT OF CAPITAL PROJECTS COMING UP AND I GUESS I WANTED TO SEE THIS GO FORWARD AND SEE WHERE IT WHERE WE LANDED, NOT THINKING THAT WE'D LAND IN THE 1 TO 10, $12 MILLION PRICE RANGE.
NOW, WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT IN FRONT OF US, I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF SOMETHING SMALL SCALE, LIKE WE FIRST TALKED ABOUT IT, I GUESS, BUT A GREAT JOB. I KNOW A LOT OF HARD WORK WENT IN THIS WITH YOU AND YOUR STAFF, BUT YEAH, I'M NOT REALLY READY TO HAVE THE CITY BE IN THE BUSINESS OF RUNNING WEDDINGS, I GUESS, BUT I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF DOWN THE ROAD SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE LOOKING AT A SMALL SCALE LIKE WE FIRST TALKED ABOUT BACK, I THINK AT THE WINTER WORKSHOP.
SO I'LL JUST ADD I HAD AN INTERESTING, I GUESS VIEW BEING ABLE TO SEE THIS FROM THE START OF THE CONVERSATION.
INITIALLY, I THINK, MAYOR, YOU ASSIGNED COUNCILMEMBER PATTON AND COUNCILMEMBER ROBBINS AT THE TIME TO KIND OF WORK WITH STAFF AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS, AND INTERESTINGLY, BECAUSE THERE'S TWO RANDY'S ON COUNCIL, I GOT A PHONE CALL ABOUT THAT MEETING AND BUT THEN I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT?
[00:50:06]
I'D LOVE TO BE A PART OF IT, INCLUDE ME ANYWAY.I THINK IT'S SOMETHING TO WATCH AND CONTINUE, CONTINUE TO TALK SOME ABOUT IN THE DAYS AHEAD.
ACTUALLY, I'M OKAY WITH BOB JONES.
I THINK THE IDEA WAS THAT IT'S A PEACEFUL IT'S A PLACE.
IT'S NOT JUST WEDDINGS, IT'S REFLECTION, PRAYER, MEDITATION.
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS IT'S GOING TO BE OPEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY BUT ALL THAT TO SAY, THERE IS A LIMIT TO THE MONEY WE HAVE, THOUGH.
THAT'S JUST THE FACTS, AND I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM A VERY DOLLARS AND CENTS STANDPOINT OF WE'RE TAKING ON A MASSIVE PROJECT WITH THE LIBRARY.
WE'RE TAKING ON A LARGE PARK PROJECT WITH THE PICKLEBALL COMPLEX.
WE'VE GOT LOTS OF THINGS GOING ON, AND I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO TAKE A PAUSE.
JUST TAKE A BREATH HERE ALONG THE LINES OF COUNCIL MEMBER TALLEY AND JUST STEP BACK.
LET'S LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE GOT IN FRONT OF US AND WHAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
I'M LOOKING AT SHARON JACKSON AND MAKE SOME DECISIONS FROM THAT STANDPOINT BECAUSE IT'S A WONDERFUL CONCEPT, AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CONCEPT.
YEAH, I THINK ALL OF YOU MAKE EXCELLENT POINTS AND I'M ON THE SAME PAGE.
THE SUMMER WORKSHOP, WHICH IS AT THE MARK.
AT THE WESTIN. ALL RIGHT, SO IT'S IN TOWN.
WE'RE NOT FLYING ANYWHERE, BUT AT THE SUMMER WORKSHOP IS A BETTER NAME FOR IT, WE HAVE AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING THROUGH THE LANDSCAPE OF CAPITAL PROJECTS COMING UP, BECAUSE YOU HEARD COUNCIL SPEAK VERY ELOQUENTLY ABOUT THE NEED FOR US TO BE GOOD FIDUCIARIES OF TAXPAYER MONEY AND THAT MEANS MAKING HARD PROJECTS AND FORCE RANKING CAPITAL PROJECTS, AND SOMETIMES WE DON'T GET TO BUILD EVERYTHING WE WANT TO BUILD IMMEDIATELY, EVEN THOUGH, I MEAN, I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST DISCUSSED THIS CONCEPT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE GENTLEMAN WHO KIND OF BROUGHT THE IDEA TO US, I THOUGHT IT WAS MUCH MORE IN THE VEINS OF A SERENE SMALL CHAPEL IN THE WOODS.
IT'S JUST IT SNOWBALLS, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO AS A CITY TO BUILD THAT AS A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE AND LEGAL PROJECT, COMPLIANT PROJECT, WHICH MEANS COSTS ARE VERY, VERY HIGH AND IMPACT TO THE NATURE CENTER IS VERY, VERY HIGH , AND I DON'T THINK THE GENTLEMAN THAT BROUGHT THIS TO US ACTUALLY WANTS A MASSIVE FOOTPRINT OR IMPACT ON BOB JONES.
HE CARES VERY MUCH ABOUT BOB JONES AS DO WE ALL.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE HEARING IS THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.
WE'RE GOING TO PRESS PAUSE AND WE NEED TO REVIEW THE LANDSCAPE OF WHAT WE HAVE COMING UP ON THE CAPITAL SIDE AND THEN ALSO REVIEW MAYBE GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AS FAR AS WHICH WE'LL DO, AS FAR AS THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE WHAT WE WOULD BE SEEING OUT THERE BEFORE WE GIVE YOU GUYS FURTHER INSTRUCTION TO RUN DOWN, BECAUSE CLEARLY, ONCE WE TELL YOU TO GO, YOU'RE GOING TO PUT SOMETHING GREAT TOGETHER.
BUT WE WANT TO LET'S CHECK OUR WHOLE CARD AND MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND KIND OF EVERYTHING ABOUT THE COST THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE COMING UP, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE FORWARD AT A FUTURE DATE, IF IT MAKES ANY SENSE.
YES, SIR. ALL THIS INFORMATION ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE.
THAT'S POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, MR. BRIGGS. I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP, SIR.

ABSOLUTELY. ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 2022, AT 4:30 P.M., SOUTHLAKE PATROL OFFICER STEVEN WERNER WAS DISPATCHED TO A MINOR ACCIDENT IN THE 900 BLOCK OF STATE HIGHWAY 114. UPON ARRIVAL, OFFICER WERNER MET WITH OFF DUTY ARLINGTON PD OFFICER DYLAN HAVEN, WHO SAID THAT HE OBSERVED A PICKUP TRUCK WEAVING ERRATICALLY AS IT DROVE WESTBOUND ON 114. AS OFFICER HAVEN CAUGHT UP WITH THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT IT LEFT THE ROADWAY AND CAME TO REST IN THE GRASSY AREA BETWEEN THE HIGHWAY AND THE SERVICE ROAD.
HOWEVER, ALL THE DOORS WERE LOCKED, RECOGNIZING THE DRIVER WAS EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
OFFICER WERNER BROKE OUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WITH HIS BATON TO GAIN ACCESS IN THE VEHICLE.
WHEN OFFICER WERNER CHECKED THE DRIVER'S PULSE AND COULD NOT LOCATE ONE, HE AND OFFICER HAVEN PULLED THE DRIVER OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND DRAGGED HIM TO A SAFE LOCATION AND QUICKLY BEGAN CPR.
[01:00:01]
WORKING TOGETHER.OFFICER WERNER APPLIED THE AED, WHICH RECOMMENDED THE ADMINISTRATION OF ONE SHOCK.
ONCE THE SHOCK WAS ADMINISTERED, OFFICERS FOLLOWED THE AED'S RECOMMENDATION TO CONTINUE CPR.
SGT. DIEHL REMAINED ON SCENE TO ASSIST WITH CPR AND TO HELP DIRECT MEDICS TO THE PATIENT'S LOCATION.
THEY IMMEDIATELY CONTINUED PATIENT CARE BY INSERTING AN ADVANCED AIRWAY DEVICE AND PERFORMING CPR.
WHEN FIREFIGHTERS RUSS BROWN AND CODY PEARSON ARRIVED ON MEDIC 402, THEY ATTACHED THEIR MONITOR TO THE PATIENT AND ADMINISTERED ANOTHER SHOCK AND DELIVERED MEDICATION UTILIZED IN CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT.
THE PATIENT THEN REGAINED A PULSE.
THE QUICK RESPONSE AND ACTIONS OF SOUTHLAKE AND ARLINGTON POLICE OFFICERS, ALONG WITH FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDICS, PROVIDED THE DRIVER THE LIFE SAVING CARE THAT HE NEEDED AT THAT MOMENT TO SURVIVE. WE COMMEND EACH OF THEM FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING SERVICE, DEDICATION AND TEAMWORK.
OFFICER STEVE WERNER, WOULD YOU COME FORWARD TO ACCEPT YOUR AWARD, PLEASE? [APPLAUSE] ARLINGTON PD OFFICER DYLAN HAVEN, WOULD YOU COME FORWARD TO ACCEPT YOUR AWARD, PLEASE? [APPLAUSE] SERGEANT KEVIN DIEHL IS OUT OF TOWN AND UNABLE TO ATTEND THIS EVENING.

[01:05:01]
BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS, THERE'S A GENTLEMAN THAT'S WITH HIS FAMILY TODAY AND GOT TO CELEBRATE FATHER'S DAY BECAUSE OF THE HARD WORK THAT YOU DID.COUNCIL? YOU KNOW, THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF RECOGNITION IS IT HIGHLIGHTS THE QUALITY OF MEN AND WOMEN WE HAVE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.
IT'S NOT A WEEK THAT GOES BY THAT I'M NOT BRAGGING ABOUT DPS NORTH.
THE MEN AND WOMEN WE GOT TAKING CARE OF OUR KIDS ON THE ROAD, KEEPING THEM SAFE.
I HAVE COMPLETE AND TOTAL TRUST IN THEM, AND SO I THINK THAT'S THE GREATEST TESTAMENT.
I LOVE THE JOB THAT YOU ALL DO.
IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE WHEN IT'S APPRECIATED AS WELL.
SO THANKS FOR BRINGING THIS BEFORE THE COUNCIL.
YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TOO.
I KNOW THAT FOR YOU ALL YOU WOULD SAY IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK OR IT'S WHAT YOU DO, BUT WHAT YOU DO IS SO INCREDIBLE FOR ALL OF US AND FOR NOT ONLY OUR FAMILIES HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, BUT PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL TO AND FROM SOUTHLAKE ON A DAILY BASIS, YOU KEEP US SAFE , AND YEAH, I DON'T EVER THINK ABOUT SAFETY OR SECURITY IN OUR FAIR CITY BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU DO.
SO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT, IF YOU GUYS DON'T MIND COMING DOWN, WE'D LOVE A PICTURE.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT WAS EXCELLENT.
WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA FOR THE EVENING.
DID I SPEAK TOO SOON? WE'RE STILL IN THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.
ONE MORE ITEM, AND IT'S A BIG ONE.
YOU KIND OF GAVE US A GOOD PREVIEW EARLIER.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON DOWN, DANIEL.
AS THE MAYOR INDICATED, WE ARE EXTREMELY EXCITED THIS YEAR.
IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGING LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND AS THE COUNCIL RECALLS, LAST YEAR WAS IT WAS KIND OF WHAT I WOULD REFER TO AS STARS AND STRIPES LIGHT, BUT THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING IN FULL FORCE, AND THEME THIS YEAR, AS YOU COULD LIKELY TAKE A GUESS, IS GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT MUSIC.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME GREAT BANDS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME GREAT MUSIC ALL THE WAY FROM THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES, SOME GREAT OLDIES ALL THE WAY TO PRESENT DAY, AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A THEME THROUGHOUT THIS EVENT THIS YEAR. AS THE COUNCIL KNOWS, SUNDAY, JULY 3RD, IS GOING TO BE STARS AND STRIPES.
THIS YEAR, IT'LL BE HELD HERE IN SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING DIFFERENTLY TO HELP OUT SOME OF OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS IS START THE EVENT THIS YEAR AT 3:00.
WE'VE TRADITIONALLY HELD THE EVENT AT 6 P.M., BUT WE'VE STRUGGLED A LITTLE BIT WITH TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT VENDORS BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE CHALLENGING FOR THEM TO JUST BE HERE, SET UP AND ONLY BE HERE FOR A FEW HOURS TO SELL.
SO WE JUST FELT IT WAS A NATURAL FIT FOR US TO GO AHEAD AND JUST EXTEND THE HOURS A LITTLE BIT.
[01:10:03]
YEARS PAST, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE OUT THE EVENT RIGHT AT 11:00 PM OVER AT FRANK CORNISH PARK.WE'LL HAVE 15 FOOD VENDORS, AND ANOTHER THING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY IN THE SPIRIT OF PARTNERSHIP THIS YEAR IS WORK WITH OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE, I BELIEVE, TWO ACTIVE BARS THAT ARE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS GOING TO BE SELLING BEER AND WINE FOR THEM.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF LIVE MUSIC.
THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE BAND OF THE WEST IS GOING TO BE JOINING US.
OUR PATRIOTIC CEREMONY WILL BEGIN AT 8 P.M.
WITH FIREWORKS GOING OFF AT 9:30 P.M..
IN TERMS OF PARKING, WHICH, OF COURSE, WE ALL KNOW IS A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR, AND OF COURSE, WE HAVE SOME CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY GOING ON IN SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE WITH GRANITE II GOING UP, BUT WE DO HAVE FREE PARKING HERE IN TOWN SQUARE AT THE GRANITE PARKING OFFICE GARAGE AND ALSO IN THE TOWN SQUARE EAST PARKING GARAGE AS WELL , BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, OF COURSE, AS IN YEARS PAST, WE'VE PARTNERED WITH WHITECHAPEL, UNITED METHODIST CHURCH AND GATEWAY CHURCH, AND WE'LL BE PROVIDING FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE FROM BOTH OF THOSE PARKING LOTS IN THOSE CHURCHES STARTING AT 2 P.M, AND GOING WELL PAST 11:00 PM THAT DAY.
OF COURSE, IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR INTERESTED FOR MORE INFORMATION.
THE COUNCIL SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED, I BELIEVE, YOUR PACKETS TODAY WITH YOUR T-SHIRTS.
I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THE T-SHIRTS.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO, SIR. WE'RE READY TO GO.
BIGGER, AND BETTER THAN EVER, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT. I LOVE IT.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, THANK YOU, DANIEL. THANK YOU TO ALL OF STAFF FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THAT EVENT.
SO WITH THAT, ALISON, WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.
[CONSENT AGENDA]
SO WE'VE PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED THIS CONSENT AGENDA.IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR DISCUSSION ABOUT ANY OF THEM, I WILL TAKE A MOTION.
YES, MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBER, WE APPROVE ITEMS 4 A-J WHICH ARE CONSENT AGENDA.
NOTING THE FOLLOWING WITH REGARDS TO ITEM FOUR, WHICH IS THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FROM OUR JUNE 7TH MEETING, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A SLIGHT CORRECTION TO ITEM 7B, WHICH SHOULD READ APPROVING THE OVERALL FENCING AS PRESENTED AND NOTING THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO AN EIGHT FOOT BOARD ON BOARD FENCE CEDAR FENCING ALONG THE NORTH AND EAST SIDE, AS NOTED THIS EVENING, AND THEN ALSO NOTING THAT WE'RE ADDING ITEM 9A, WHICH IS SB22-0008 AND ITEM 9B, WHICH IS AN APPROVING CONTRACT WITH WILDSTONE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF AN EIGHT INCH WATERLINE AND FIRE HYDRANT ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW NATURE CENTER BARN IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $150,000.
OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE, AND THE CONSENT AGENDA PASSES 6 TO 0.
[5. Public Forum]
WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM FIVE ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS OUR PUBLIC FORUM.OTHER AGENDA ITEMS WITH PUBLIC FORUMS HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEAK IN CONNECTION WITH THOSE, BUT I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC FORUM, AND IF THERE'S ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEMS NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, NOW'S THE TIME.
WE DO HAVE ONE COMMENT CARD FROM SCOTT AND VALERIE PARR ABOUT FENCING.
IS THIS RELATED TO AN AGENDA ITEM? ARE THE PARR'S STILL HERE? I BELIEVE THAT'S ITEM 6F.
OKAY, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS COUNCIL AT THIS TIME? OKAY, WITH THAT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC FORUM AND WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX, WHICH IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1259, SECOND READING, APPOINTING JUDGE CAROL MONTGOMERY AS THE

IF THERE'S ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO ADDRESS COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE DO SO NOW.
SEEING NONE, I WILL NOW TAKE A MOTION.
OKAY, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6A.
OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1259 SECOND READING APPOINTING CAROL MONTGOMERY AS THE JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF RECORD AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE MUNICIPAL JUDGE.

[6.B. Ordinance No. 1258, 2nd Reading, reducing in size the floodway, drainage and flowage easement on Lot 6, Block D, Quail Creek Estates, Section II, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, being located at 1018 Quail Run Road. PUBLIC HEARING]
WITH THAT, WE WILL TAKE UP ITEM 6B, WHICH IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1258 SECOND READING, REDUCING IN SIZE THE FLOODWAY, DRAINAGE AND FLOWING EASEMENTS ON LOT SIX BLOCK D, QUAIL CREEK ESTATE SECTION TWO IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.GOOD EVENING, SIR. GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
SO THIS IS ITEM SIX B, THIS IS ACTUALLY A SECOND READING FOR ORDINANCE 1258, WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE REDUCING THE SIZE OF AN ARRAY DRAINAGE EASEMENT THAT ACTUALLY ENCOMPASSES A PROPERTY THAT'S ATTEMPTING TO BE REDEVELOPED.
SO THIS IS A PROJECT SITE, THE SLIDE SHOWS HERE IT IS ON QUAIL RUN ROAD.
THIS SLIDE REALLY KIND OF EXPLAINS THE ENTIRE SITUATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SIZE OF THE LOT IS ABOUT AN ACRE.
THE AREA THAT ACTUALLY IS ENCUMBERED BY THE EXISTING EASEMENTS IS ABOUT HALF AN ACRE, AND SO THE HOMEOWNER HAS GONE THROUGH WITH A THIRD PARTY ENGINEER, AS WELL AS TALKED WITH THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND CONFIRMED THAT THERE'S NO ADVERSE IMPACTS, AND SO THEY'VE REQUESTED THAT THE SIZE OF THE EASEMENT BE REDUCED. STAFF HAS REVIEWED IT.
THERE IS A SORRY, THERE'S SOME TIMING ITEMS GOING ON HERE.
SO THIS WOULD BE THE AREA TO BE REDUCED IN RED.
AGAIN, THERE ARE NO ADVERSE IMPACTS.
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE SIZE OF THESE AND ALSO BE REDUCED.
THAT CONCLUDES THIS AFTERNOON'S PRESENTATION.
I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU, DIRECTOR COHEN. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF SEEMS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
THANK YOU, SIR. I DO HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.
HOW MUCH ARE WE REDUCING IT BY? I MISSED THAT? WHAT'S IT GOING--SO RIGHT NOW IT'S ABOUT HALF AN ACRE THE SIZE.
IT'S GOING TO BE REDUCED TO, I BELIEVE, LESS THAN A THIRD OF AN ACRE.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE QUITE A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION, YES, MA'AM.
I GUESS WE DON'T REALLY HAVE AN APPLICANT HERE, DO WE? OR IS THERE AN APPLICANT? I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
I NEED SOME CAFFEINE OR SOMETHING.
CAN I BLAME IT ON DINNER? IF THERE IS ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM SIX B, WE WILL OPEN UP WITH A PUBLIC HEARING, AS I WAS SAYING AND SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND NOW TAKE A MOTION. YOU'RE SURE? I'M SURE. YEAH, THIS TIME I'M SURE.
OKAY, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX BE OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1258 SECOND READING REDUCING IN SIZE THE FLOODWAY, DRAINAGE AND FLOW EASEMENT ON LOT SIX BLOCK D, QUAIL CREEK ESTATES SECTION TWO.
IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, BEING LOCATED AT 1018 QUAIL RUN ROAD.
WE HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
[6.C. Ordinance No. 480-793, (ZA22-0010), 2nd Reading, Zoning Change and Site Plan for Carnation Auto Spa (currently Krystal Clean Car Wash) on property described as Lot 2, T. J. Thompson No. 1502 Addition, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 955 Davis Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "C-3" General Commercial District. Requested Zoning: "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #10. PUBLIC HEARING]
SPA. DIRECTOR BAKER.[01:20:07]
955 DAVIS BOULEVARD.WE GAVE SOME HISTORY ON THE SITE AT OUR FIRST READING.
THE ISSUES GOING INTO SECOND READING INCLUDED ACCESS TO THE VACUUMS THAT WERE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER, THE WALL, THE TRAFFIC PATTERN ON THE SITE, AND THE APPLICANT HAS MADE SOME MINOR CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN SINCE THE FIRST READING.
WE'VE BEEN OVER THE ZONING AND SHOWN SOME AERIALS OF THE SITE.
JUST TO GET YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE UNDER CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING.
THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU SAW BACK AT YOUR MEETING IN MAY.
THE MAJOR CHANGES WERE RELOCATING THE SELF SERVICE AND FULL SERVICE TO THE NORTHEAST CORNER.
THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS EVENING DATED 6/21.
THE MAJOR CHANGES INCLUDE THE MASONRY WALL THAT RUNS ALONG THE SOUTH BOUNDARY.
THE APPLICANT HAS SHOWN THREE MASONRY PRODUCTS THAT COULD BE CONSTRUCTED.
THE APPLICANT DOES PREFER THE STONE WALL AND WE'LL GET THAT SECOND PROVIDED A SIDEWALK CONNECTION FROM THE VACUUM AREA BACK TO THE LOBBY AREA AND THE CANOPIES THAT WERE SHOWN DURING THE FIRST READING THOSE ARE GOING TO BE REMOVED ON THIS REVISED SITE PLAN. SO AGAIN, LOT GOING ON THIS PHOTOGRAPH, BUT THE MAJOR CHANGES AS THE WALL ALONG THE SOUTH BOUNDARY, THE SIDEWALK CONNECTION AND THEN THESE CANOPIES BEING REMOVED, THEY WILL BE RELOCATING SOME OF THE PARKING AISLES AND SPACES, RELOCATING THOSE AS PART OF THIS ALSO.
AGAIN, ENTER THE SITE OFF DAVIS, A KIND OF COUNTERCLOCKWISE FLOW TO THE PAY STATIONS AND TO THE CAR WASH AREA AND THEN CAN PROCEED TO THE VACUUMS WHERE THERE'LL BE BOTH SELF-SERVICE AND FULL SERVICE AVAILABLE. THIS IS THE PROPOSED STACKING EXHIBIT THAT THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED IN YOUR REPORT.
THE ITE MANUAL CALLS OUT THE PEAK TIME FOR A CAR WASH TO OCCUR ON SATURDAY MORNINGS.
SO ROUGHLY UNDER ITE'S ASSESSMENT OF THESE TYPE FACILITIES, YOU'RE GETTING A CAR ABOUT EVERY MINUTE INTO THE SITE, EVERY 2 MINUTES, EVEN IF THEY EXCEED THAT PEAK.
A LITTLE TOUGH TO SEE, BUT THEY'RE BASED ON STANDARD 22 FOOT SPACING IN THE DUAL LANE IS SHOWING 28 CARS CAN STACK TO THE CELL STATION BASED ON THE ITE.
THERE APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH STACKING ROOM THERE.
AN OPTION FOR CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER IS THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY.
IF WE EVER GET INTO A SITUATION WHERE QUEUING DOES BLEED BACK OR GET BACK ONTO DAVIS BOULEVARD, ALLOWS STAFF TO ADMINISTRATIVELY, TRY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE BY PUSHING THOSE PAY STATIONS MAYBE EVEN FURTHER TO THE NORTHEAST TO CREATE SOME MORE STACKING ROOM OR LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS.
SO WE DON'T RUN INTO A SITUATION WHERE IF THE ITE MANUAL ISN'T CORRECT IN TERMS OF OF THE DEMAND ON THE SITE, THAT WE COULD TRY TO ADJUST MORE QUICKLY THAN COMING BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS AND DOING A SITE PLAN SO THAT IS AN OPTION.
THIS IS THE THREE PROPOSED EIGHT FOOT MASONRY WALL OPTIONS.
THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM, THE STONE IS THE APPLICANT'S PREFERENCE, BUT THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THAT THEY COULD DO ANY OF THE THREE IF COUNCIL HAS A PREFERENCE, YOU COULD MAKE THAT AS PART OF THE MOTION.
[01:25:01]
WEST POINT OF THE PROPERTY ALONG THE CAR WASH PROPERTY TO A POINT ROUGHLY AT THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.ALSO, DURING FIRST READING AND A CONDITION THE COUNCIL MADE IS THAT PRIOR TO FINAL APPROVAL OF THE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT TAKE PLACE IF APPROVED BY COUNCIL, IS THAT A NOISE STUDY BE CONDUCTED WITH ALL THE MACHINERY RUNNING TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE CITY THAT THE NOISE ORDINANCE MAXIMUM LEVELS AREN'T THAT THE LIMITS ARE ACHIEVED IN TERMS OF THE DBS AND THEY'LL HAVE TO PROVE THAT UP PER YOUR FIRST READING MOTION.
ONE OPPOSITION IS STILL IN EFFECT, THOUGH AT FIRST READING AND IN THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION, THEY'VE INDICATED THEY'VE COME TO AGREEMENT WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL WHO RESIDES AT THIS PROPERTY.
YOUR MOTION IS IN YOUR PACKET.
SO THE APPLICANT EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BE SURE THAT THESE HOURS ARE ACCURATE BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS TO GET THOSE CHANGED AND WON'T READ THIS, BUT IT IS IN YOUR PACKET ON YOUR YOUR FIRST READING RECOMMENDATION.
THEY DO HAVE A PRESENTATION, THEY HAVE A VIDEO ALSO.
I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME? OKAY, THANKS, KEN. I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE ONE ONCE WE DIG INTO IT.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, JUST GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND WE'LL BE OFF TO THE RACES.
GOOD EVENING AGAIN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL.
MR. MAYOR. MY NAME IS ANDREW SHEPHERD.
MY ADDRESS IS 3030 ELIZABETH STREET #625 DALLAS, TEXAS, 75204.
MOST OF THIS PRESENTATION WE'VE GONE THROUGH BEFORE, IT IS SIMPLY HIGHLIGHTING A LOT OF THE CHANGES THAT WE PLAN ON MAKING. A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE REALLY WANT TO ARTICULATE IN THIS PRESENTATION.
ONE IS THIS KIND OF VISIBLE VISUAL TRAFFIC FLOW THAT YOU SEE HERE.
THIS WAS A CONCERN FROM THE LAST MEETING.
SO WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS A CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
AS I INDICATED IN THE LAST MEETING, WE DO HAVE TRAFFIC MONITORS AT OUR TUNNEL EXITS.
ALSO GUIDING BY THE VACUUMS TO MAKE SURE THAT TRAFFIC FLOW IS SMOOTH.
THAT SAFETY IS A BIG CONCERN OF OURS, AND SO WE WANTED TO INCLUDE A PICTURE OF ONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES.
WE ROTATE THEM THROUGHOUT THE DAY, BUT THEY STAND THERE AT THE CHANNEL EXIT GUIDING GUIDING PEOPLE AS THEY LEAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T RUN INTO A CAR, CROSSING THROUGH AN EASEMENT OR PEOPLE WALKING ONTO THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS, AGAIN, THE AGREEMENT WITH THE WITH THE ADJOINING PROPERTY, THE NEIGHBOR, AND WITH AN UNDERSTANDING THAT SHOULD THIS BE APPROVED, THEY WILL REMOVE THEIR OBJECTION.
AGAIN A COPY OF THE PREFERRED WALL THAT WE WOULD CONSTRUCT MATERIAL.
IF COUNCIL HAS A PREFERENCE TO CHANGE THIS, THEN WE ARE MORE THAN OPEN TO COUNCIL'S SUGGESTIONS.
ALL OF THIS WAS INCLUDED IN THE LAST PRESENTATION.
WE DON'T HAVE THE UPDATED LAYOUT.
ONE THING WE DID NOT HIGHLIGHT IN I SHOULD HIGHLIGHT HERE IS ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP WAS BEYOND JUST THE SIDEWALK AND GETTING OVER TO THE BUILDING.
WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED AN OUTDOOR PERGOLA SHADED AREA THAT WOULD BE LUSH WITH TREES COOL FAN AND HAVE A SEATING AREA THAT WOULD BE THIS WE PROPOSE INSTALLING AS WELL.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO HAVE A SEATING AREA WHERE THERE IS NO TRAFFIC CONCERNS.
[01:30:03]
SO WE WOULD BUILD A WALKWAY ADA ACCESSIBLE SO THERE IS NO RISK OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNLESS SOMEONE DRIVES INTO THE LAWN.NO, THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT BECAUSE IF I RECALL THE CONVERSATION, I THINK I HAD RAISED A QUESTION ABOUT HOW MANY CARS YOU COULD BRING THROUGH THE VACUUMING AREA AND DID IT MAKE SENSE FOR THE CUSTOMERS TO WALK ALL THE WAY BACK IN? BECAUSE VACUUMING TYPICALLY TAKES SOME TIME, AND I THINK THIS IS A SMART MOVE BECAUSE I STILL FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF IT WERE ME, I'D PROBABLY GO SIT DOWN AND WAIT FOR MY CAR VERSUS WALK AWAY.
SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD MOVE TO HAVE THAT THERE.
ABSOLUTELY, YEAH, WE WANT TO AGAIN FROM THE BEGINNING, WE WANT TO BE GOOD STEWARDS TO THE COMMUNITY AND ADDRESS ALL CONCERNS, AND THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH SPACE, THE THOSE PARKING SPACES.
I MEAN, WHILE THIS IS JUST A SIMPLE RENDERING THAT'S 50 FEET WIDE ON THAT RENDERING.
SO IT WOULD BE A LARGE OPEN SPACE, IT WOULD BE OUTDOORS IF THEY WANTED AIR CONDITIONING, ACCESS TO THE CONVENIENCE STORE THAT'S IN THE BUILDING. THEY WOULD WALK THROUGH THE DESIGNATED WALKWAY.
YES, MA'AM. SO THE GREEN ARROWS, IT SAYS FLOW TO STANDARD PARKING.
HOW DID THOSE CARS GET THERE AND WHY WOULD YOU BE PARKING THERE? WHICH SPOTS? THE GREEN ARROWS. SO THE STANDARD PARKING TO THE LEFT AND THE STANDARD PARKING DOWN LOW.
IS THAT EMPLOYEE PARKING? YES, MA'AM. SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE COMING AND GOING MOSTLY DURING.
SO STILL, THOUGH, LIKE FOR ME, I'M NOT GOING TO GO SIT OUTSIDE IN AUGUST WHILE MY CAR GETS VACUUMED.
SO KIND OF WHERE THE UPPER GREEN ARROWS ARE IS WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE AN EMPLOYEE, IF PEOPLE WANT TO WALK ACROSS AND WAIT INSIDE? CORRECT. CORRECT.
THANK YOU. OKAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? IS THAT IT? DID YOU HAVE A VIDEO OR SOMETHING? SO ONE OF THE OTHER REQUESTS WAS TO SEE WHAT AN UPGRADED TUNNEL, THE CARNATION OPERATION.
SO WE'VE GOT IT'S A SMALL TWO MINUTE VIDEO.
IT'S JUST A VEHICLE GOING THROUGH ONE OF OUR TUNNELS.
HOW DO I ACCESS THAT, SIR? I BELIEVE IT'S ON THE FLASH DRIVE.
[01:35:26]
SO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO SHOW YOU THAT IF ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN TO THE EXISTING SITE, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THIS DOESN'T EXIST INTO THE TUNNEL, AS YOU CAN SEE, INTO THE TUNNEL FROM THE LOBBY.SO THE VIEW IS JUST AS JUST AS EXCITING IF YOU'RE SITTING IN THE LOBBY GETTING TO SEE ALL THESE COLORS AND LIGHTS GOING OFF, AND LIKE WE MENTIONED IN THE PRESENTATION, THE PLAN IS IT'S $1,000,000 INVESTMENT INTO THE TUNNEL, AND PART OF IT IS HAVING AN ATTRACTIVE LIGHT SHOW LIKE THIS THAT MAKES IT ENTERTAINING FOR CUSTOMERS GOING THROUGH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
YEAH, IT LOOKS GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT BEFORE WE DISCUSS? WE MIGHT HAVE SOME MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU IN A SECOND.
OKAY, SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE OUR DISCUSSION.
SO I'M GOING TO OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SIX C.
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY SEEING NONE, I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO COUNCIL, WE'VE SEEN THIS ONCE.
A FEW OF YOU SAW IT ON CORRIDOR BEFORE FIRST READING.
CAN YOU GUYS SPEAK TO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU SAW AND WHAT KIND OF FEEDBACK YOU GAVE THEM AND HOW THAT'S TRANSLATED THROUGH SECOND READING? YEAH. THANK YOU, MAYOR.
I WAS ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT SAW THIS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ON CORRIDOR COMMITTEE, AND I THINK THE APPLICANT DESERVES SOME KUDOS FOR BEING RESPONSIVE TO THE FEEDBACK WE GAVE THEM BACK THEN AND THROUGH P&Z, AND EVEN FROM FIRST READING TO TONIGHT, I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE TAKEN THE COMMENTS AND THE QUESTIONS AND ISSUES, AND I THINK YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF ADDRESSING THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, SO I APPLAUD YOU FOR THAT.
IN MY MIND, THIS ISN'T REALLY A ZONING CASE.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS.
IT'S THE CHANGE IN USE FROM A FULL SERVICE FACILITY, SPECIFICALLY ON THE VACUUMING TO WHAT'S PARTLY SELF SERVICE ON THE VACUUMING, AND THAT'S THE USE OR THE BUSINESS MODEL THAT THEY'RE USING SEEMS TO BE WORKING IN OTHER PLACES LIKE HIGHLAND PARK, UNIVERSITY PARK AND SEVERAL OTHER LOCATIONS.
SO WHETHER THAT WORKS HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, I THINK THE MARKET WILL DETERMINE THAT.
I THINK THIS BUSINESS IS PROBABLY STRUGGLING AND THAT'S WHY THERE'S POTENTIAL NEW OWNERSHIP.
SO I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE APPLICATION.
I WELCOME THE NEW INVESTMENT INTO THIS PROPERTY.
I THINK THAT OUTDOOR PERGOLA, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL APPRECIATE IT AND USE IT AND YEAH, I MEAN, I AS WELL AM EXCITED ABOUT THE INVESTMENT THAT YOU'RE--I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT SPENDING THE MONEY--EXCITED ABOUT THE INVESTMENT INTO OUR COMMUNITY, AND TO ECHO COUNCILMEMBER MCCASKILL'S POINT, IT DOES NEED A GREAT FACELIFT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE IT.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND I'LL CHIME IN AS WELL.
I DO SIT ON THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE, SO I'VE SEEN IT FROM THE BEGINNING AND I THINK THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE WAS A LITTLE BIT HARD ON YOU, QUITE HONESTLY, BECAUSE WE REALLY HAVE HIGH STANDARDS AND WE WANTED IT TO BE EXCELLENT.
YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE ASKED IN AND THEN SOME.
SO I AS WELL, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF YOU.
I WELCOME YOU INTO THE COMMUNITY.
I WILL NOT BE VACUUMING MY OWN CAR, BUT I DO HAVE A TEENAGE SON, SO I AM EXCITED TO SEE THE FACELIFT ON THAT CORNER AND I'M IN SUPPORT FOR SURE.
NO, AFTER YOU. SO ON THE RARE OCCASION THAT I DO WASH MY CAR, WHICH IS NOT AS OFTEN AS MANY OF MY FRIENDS, MUCH TO MY WIFE'S DISMAY, BUT THIS IS THE SPOT THAT I USE.
SO IT IS A WELCOME, TRUST ME, IT'S AN EYESORE.
I MEAN, THE DRAB AWNINGS, IT JUST LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING JUST LOOKS FORGETTABLE.
I JUST THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A TREMENDOUS BENEFIT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF LOOKS, BUT I ALSO THINK, WHICH IS WEIRD, I ENJOY VACUUMING MY VEHICLE BECAUSE NOBODY EVER DOES IT WELL, AND THAT WAS A PROBLEM I HAD AT THE OLD LOCATION.
[01:40:02]
SO I WELCOME THIS COMING TO TOWN, AND SO YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT.YEAH, SO THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATES AND FOR THE WORK.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU GUYS WAITED A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AND APPRECIATE YOU GETTING IT RIGHT.
SO THAT'S IMPORTANT, AND MY ONLY REMAINING QUESTION IS, YOU MIGHT RECALL FROM THE FIRST MEETING WAS WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE VACUUMING AREA, AND YOU REPRESENTED THAT? WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THE VACUUM AREA.
THE CARS ARE BACK THERE, X AMOUNT OF MINUTES, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS, BUT I DID THE MATH REAL QUICK AND I WAS LIKE, THAT MATH'S JUST NOT WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE CARS QUICKER THAN THAT OR ELSE YOU'RE GOING TO QUEUE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS.
SO I DO THINK IT'S AN UPGRADE OPPORTUNITY THERE.
ONE THING COUNCIL WILL HAVE TO DECIDE ON I'M IN SUPPORT OF IS ALLOWING THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR AND ALLOWING STAFF TO IF WE SEE WE HAVE A QUEUING PROBLEM HAPPENING HERE, WHETHER IT'S ON A CERTAIN I DON'T KNOW, BUT I LIKE GIVING THE STAFF THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A JUDGMENT CALL ON THE FLY AND WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO IF IT MEANS ADJUSTING THE PAY AWNINGS OR WHATEVER THAT IS.
SO WE CAN'T HAVE QUEUING OUT ON THE DAVIS, WE JUST CAN'T HAVE THAT.
COME ON UP TO THE MIC, MR. APPLICANT. DIRECTOR BAKER, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD RIGHT NOW? YES, SIR, IF YOU DO CHOOSE TO APPROVE THIS, BECAUSE THE PERGOLA WAS NOT ON THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.
IF YOU COULD JUST CONSIDER INCLUDING THE PERGOLA IN THE MOTION MEETING ALL ACCESSORY BUILDING STANDARDS IF A MOTION IS MADE TO APPROVE THE CASE.
THE NEW MODERN CONVEYOR THAT'LL BE IN THERE CAN ACTUALLY, IF WE REALLY PUSH IT, SERVICE OVER 150 CARS IN AN HOUR OUT OF THERE IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO PUSH IT, AND NOT EVERY VEHICLE IS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING A CAR WASH ON THE PROPERTY IS GOING TO USE THE VACUUMS OR BE A FULL SERVICE.
YOU KNOW, THE CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR IN SOUTHLAKE IS THAT IS A FULL SERVICE SITE, AND THE EXPECTATION IS WHAT WE SEE WITH OUR OTHER SITES THAT HAVE SIMILAR HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS THEY WANT FULL SERVICE, AND SO YES, WHILE THAT IS THE RENDERING SHOWS SELF SERVICE ON THE TOP AND FULL SERVICE ON THE BOTTOM, WE'LL OPEN UP SOME OF THOSE LANES AND WE'LL DO SOME OF THOSE BAYS TO COMPENSATE FOR ADDITIONAL FULL SERVICE AS NEEDED AND NOT ALLOW THE VACUUMING FOR SELF SERVICE IN PEAK HOURS WHEN IF THE DEMAND REQUIRES THAT WE DO THAT AT SOME OF OUR OTHER SITES AS WELL.
OUR SITE IN HIGHLAND PARK, WE RUN INTO WHAT WE CALL ON THE INDUSTRY CAPACITY ISSUES SO WE CAN PROCESS THE VEHICLES THROUGH THE QUEUE IN A TIMELY MANNER.
THEY PULL UP, WE SCAN A BARCODE THAT'S A STICKER THAT'S ON THEIR CAR.
THEY'RE IN AND OUT OF THAT PARTICULAR PAY SLOT IN 15 SECONDS.
SO IT DOES MOVE QUITE QUICKLY.
GOT IT. SO BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS BETWEEN THE CARS THAT CHOOSE NOT TO HAVE A VACUUM AND THEN THOSE CARS THAT ARE NOT HAVING A DETAILED SERVICE BUT HAVING A QUICK VACUUM, WHICH GUYS AND LADIES WHO DO THIS FOR A LIVING CAN DO IT QUICK.
I MEAN, THAT'S PART OF THE WAY IT WORKS.
THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR QUEUEING ISSUES, BASICALLY.
YES. THAT'S THE THOUGHT. YES, AND THEN EVEN TODAY, AS IT CURRENTLY OPERATES, IT'S ROUGHLY 25 OR 30% OF THOSE CUSTOMERS ARE EXTERIOR ONLY WASHES ANYWAYS, AND SO THERE ARE NO VACUUMS NOW FOR THEM, AND SO THEY'RE LEAVING THE PROPERTY AS SOON AS THEY GO THROUGH.
GREAT, AND YOU PROMISE YOU CAN FIT MY F-250, RIGHT? THAT'S ON OUR CONTRACT. OKAY, COME ON NOW.
I NEED SEVEN FOOT TWO CLEARANCE.
THAT'S ALL I NEED. [CHUCKLING] OKAY, WELL, GREAT.
SO WITH THAT, IF WE HAVE A MOTION, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ARE YOU READY TO TACKLE IT?
[01:45:03]
YEAH, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME ON THIS ONE.SO MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6C OTHERWISE REFERRED TO IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 4802793 ZA22-0010 SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE AND SITE PLAN FOR CARNATION AUTO SPA CURRENTLY CRYSTAL CLEAN CAR WASH A PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS A LOT 2 TJ THOMPSON, NUMBER 1502 ADDITION CITY OF SOUTHLAKE TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, AND LOCATED AT 955 DAVIS BOULEVARD, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SITE SHOWING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
THERE WILL BE THREE LOTS ALL OVER AN ACRE IN SIZE.
JUST A CLOSE UP VIEW OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST ROAD.
ANOTHER STREET VIEW LOOKING BACK TO THE SOUTH.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN.
AS MENTIONED, IT DOES MEET ALL THE LOW DENSITY LAND USE DESIGNATION REQUIREMENTS.
THE TOTAL ACREAGE IS 4.93 ACRES.
THE LOTS ARE 1.35 ACRES, 1.36 ACRES AND TWO ACRES.
A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ALONG DOVE STREET.
THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A LETTER INDICATING THAT THEY WILL BE INSTALLING A WROUGHT IRON FENCE WITH MASONRY COLUMNS ALONG DOVE ROAD BACK BEHIND THE BUFFER YARD AND IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING LINE.
ALSO, THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED IN THE LETTER THAT THEY WILL DESIGN THEIR DRIVEWAYS TO ALLOW TURNAROUND ON SITE AND DISCOURAGE PARKING ON DOVE STREET, AND THEY'VE ALSO INDICATED A BOARD ON BOARD WOULD FENCE WOULD BE PROVIDED ON THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE OF LOT ONE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WHERE THE ARROWS INDICATED AND THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED.
THIS IS A PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE PLAN.
MOST OF THE FLOW WILL BE BACK TOWARD DOVE AND PICKED UP IN THE BORROW DITCH.
THIS IS THE PRELIMINARY UTILITY PLAN AND THE NEAREST WATER LINES ALONG CARROLL AND EMERALD CIRCLE.
THE PLAN DOES SHOW SEPTIC FIELDS TOWARD THE BACK.
THIS IS A TREE CONSERVATION ANALYSIS.
THE PLAN IS SHOWING 73.4% OF THE CANOPY BEING PRESERVED.
A BUFFER YARD WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE PLANTED ALONE.
DOVE AND THE APPLICANT HAS COMPLIED TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THAT BUFFER YARD PLANNING.
THIS IS THE SITE SUMMARY CHART AND AGAIN A FEW MORE PHOTOS.
P&Z'S RECOMMENDATION SHOWN ON THE SLIDE AND IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.
THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.
I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? IS THE APPLICANT HERE? COME ON DOWN.
[01:55:01]
PLEASE JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.NO, I DO NOT. MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] MILLER.
I'M A PLANNER WITH MCADAMS, LOCATED 111 HILLSIDE DRIVE, LEWISVILLE, TEXAS, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR WORKING WITH US ON THIS ZONING CASE, AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE AND JUST A GREAT INTERACTION TO WORK WITH, AND I JUST WANT TO RESTATE THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT OUR CLIENT, MR. ROB [INAUDIBLE], PROVIDED TO STAFF THAT WE WILL BE PROVIDING THE WROUGHT IRON ORNAMENTAL FENCING WITH MASONRY COLUMNS ALONG EAST DOVE ROAD, AND IT'S REALLY GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHAT IS ACROSS THE STREET ON DOVE ROAD, AND WE WANT TO MATCH AND BE GOOD NEIGHBORS WITH OUR PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO THE WEST AND AS WELL TO THE EAST AND THEN THE DRIVEWAYS AS WELL.
WE HEARD A CONCERN FROM P&Z ABOUT ANY KIND OF BACKUP THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE ON EAST DOVE ROAD.
SO WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE DRIVEWAYS THAT ARE PUSHED BACK AWAY FROM EAST OF ROAD AND PROVIDE SOME SORT OF TURN AROUND SO THAT THEY CAN ENTER ONTO THE PROPERTY FORWARD AND THEN EXIT AS WELL SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO BACK UP ONTO EAST ROAD, SO THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF TURN AROUND, AND THEN LASTLY FOR THE CONDITION IS THE EIGHT FOOT BOARD ON BOARD FENCE ALONG THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE.
SO JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT TO COUNCIL THIS EVENING THAT THOSE THREE CONDITIONS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH THESE TWO LOTS THAT ARE CREATED. SO HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? OKAY, WE'LL CALL YOU IF WE DO.
SO ITEM SIX F IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THAT YOU GUYS? OKAY, AND YOU LIVE AT 1179 EAST DOVE ROAD AND YOU WISH TO SPEAK ABOUT THE FENCE, IT LOOKS LIKE.
SO IF ONE OF YOU WANTS TO COME DOWN OR BOTH OF YOU.
SO WITH PUBLIC HEARINGS, WE HAVE 3 MINUTES OF COMMENTS.
SO IF YOU COULD JUST PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN FIRE AWAY.
GREAT. I'M SCOTT PARR, AND THIS IS VALERIE PARR, MY WIFE, AND WE LIVE AT 1179 EAST DOVE AS BACKGROUND ON THE WEST SIDE, THERE'S FOUR NEW PROPERTIES GOING IN THERE AND THAT'S THE WEST SIDE.
HE'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS.
TONIGHT, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE EAST SIDE, AND SO I THINK OUR THOUGHT WAS, IS IF THEY COULD PUT THAT FENCE UP FIRST BEFORE THEY START AND BREAK GROUND, ETC., WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DUST ON THE WEST SIDE BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF WORK OVER THERE.
THE OTHER TWO THINGS WOULD BE ONE IS THE DRAINAGE.
IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S ADDRESSED THE DRAINAGE, BUT OUR HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1953.
SO I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DRAINAGE FROM THOSE LOTS, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE NEWER HOUSES, THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD THEM UP HIGHER, AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN'T RAISE OUR HOUSE. SO DRAINAGE IS A BIG CONCERN.
THE LAST PIECE IS I REALLY WISH WE COULD HOOK INTO PUBLIC SEWER.
ON THE WEST SIDE, THEY WERE ALL ABLE TO GET ON PUBLIC SEWER.
WE WERE DOWN TO LOW, AND SO IF THAT WAS AN OPTION, I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET ON PUBLIC SEWER AS WELL.
ANYTHING ELSE? I THINK THAT'S IT. OKAY, ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE YOU GUYS COMING DOWN.
THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.
SIR, IF THE APPLICANT CAN COME BACK UP AND MAYBE ADJUST THE FENCE AND THE DRAINAGE ISSUES .
YES, SIR, WHEN THE HOUSE PLANS OR BUILDING PLANS COME IN THAT'S REQUIRED AS PART OF THE SUBMITTAL AND THEN THE ENGINEER WILL CHECK THE CALCULATIONS, ENSURE THE FLOWS, AND THEN YOU CANNOT DRAIN ONTO YOUR NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY.
[02:00:01]
BE CONSTRUCTED BEFORE ANY KIND OF CLEARING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT TAKES PLACE ON THE PROPERTY.CAN WE DO THAT AS A CONDITION? OKAY, WE'LL DO IT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT WOULD BE SATISFACTORY.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, SEEING NONE, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? COUNCIL IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE GOT SOME MEETING OF THE MINDS REGARDING THESE ISSUES.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU GUYS WANT TO DISCUSS OR QUESTIONS? JUST ONE QUESTION THE PARR'S MENTIONED ABOUT TYING INTO SEWER.
I'M JUST CURIOUS IS THAT--SEWER ISSUE IS HANDLED SO WE CAN'T ADDRESS IT.
WE CAN'T ADDRESS IT RIGHT NOW.
OKAY, WELL, IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, I'LL TAKE A MOTION.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX F OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-795 ZA-22-0019 SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE IN CONCEPT PLAN FOR 1211 AND 1311 EAST DOVE ROAD LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS F THROUP NUMBER 1511 ADDITION TRACTS 5A AND 5A02 SOUTHLAKE TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS CURRENT ZONING IS AG AND WE'RE APPROVING A CHANGE TO SF-1A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT SUBJECT TO THE REVISED STAFF REPORT DATE OF JUNE 21ST, 2022, AND THE CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER FOUR DATED JUNE 21ST, 2022, AND THEN WE'RE NOTING THAT THE APPLICANT HAS WILLINGLY AGREED TO DO THE FOLLOWING AS IT RELATES TO THIS APPLICATION.

[6.H. ZA22-0023, Site Plan for Bicentennial Park Pickleball Courts, on a property described as Lot 1, Block 1, Bicentennial Park Addition, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas located at 450 W. Southlake Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "CS" Community Service District. SPIN Neighborhood #7. PUBLIC HEARING]
DIRECTOR BAKER. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL THE APPLICANT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF SITE PLAN FOR PICKLEBALL COURTS AND BICENTENNIAL PARK PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOT ONE BLOCK ONE BICENTENNIAL PARK LOCATED 450 WEST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.THE CURRENT ZONING IS COMMUNITY SERVICE AND THE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS PUBLIC PARK OPEN SPACE. USE IS CONSISTENT WITH BOTH THE ZONING AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION.
IN ADDITION, ON THE RECENTLY ADOPTED PARKS RECREATION, OPEN SPACE COMMUNITY FACILITIES MASTER PLAN, THE COMPLEX IS CALLED OUT FOR CONSIDERATION DEVELOPMENT AND RECOMMENDATION B51 TO CONSIDER THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PICKLEBALL COMPLEX, AND THEN IN THE FORCE RANKING SURVEY, THE PARK RECREATION OPEN SPACE PLAN COMMITTEE, WHICH IS THE PARK BOARD, RANKED PICKLEBALL AS A PRIMARY PRIORITY FOR A NEW PARK AMENITY.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED LOCATION OF THE PICKLEBALL COMPLEX.
IT'S LOCATED 600 FEET NORTH OF 1709, 1000 FEET WEST OF WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD, AND ABOUT 1000 FEET SOUTH OF OAK HILL SUBDIVISION TO THE NORTH. THIS IS JUST A CLOSE IN VIEW OF THE LOCATION, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF BACKSTOPS THAT WILL BE RELOCATED AS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION.
THIS IS JUST A SITE PLAN OVERLAY SHOWING GENERALLY THE SCALE OF THE COMPLEX IN THE AREA SHOWN.
THIS IS A SITE PLAN THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED.
IT WILL INCLUDE THE CHAMPIONSHIP COURT, BLEACHER SHADE STRUCTURES AN OFFICE RESTROOM TABLE SEATING AREA EIGHT ADDITIONAL COURTS TO THE EAST WITH SHADE STRUCTURES.
A LOT OF THE PAVING AND TREATMENTS WILL BE SIMILAR TO OTHER BUILDINGS LOCATED IN THE PARK.
THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DEFINED SITE PLAN, WHICH BETTER SHOWS THE CHAMPIONSHIP COURT SEATING SHADE STRUCTURES AND THE EIGHT COURTS PLUS THE CHAMPIONSHIP COURT.
THERE WILL BE A SMALL OFFICE BUILDING LOCATED JUST TO THE SOUTH EAST OF THE COURT.
THE ENTRANCE WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH AND THERE'LL BE A MONUMENT ENTRY SIGN LOCATED AT THE ENTRANCE.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN.
IT WILL BE HEAVILY LANDSCAPED ONCE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED.
THIS IS THE BUILDING THAT WILL BE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH.
THIS BUILDING IS JUST OVER 1000 SQUARE FEET.
THE FOUNDATION IS 1935 SQUARE FEET AS IT DOES HAVE A COVERED PATIO TYPE AREA, IT WILL BE A NATURAL STONE BASE BRICK FACADE, ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOF WOULD BE USED FOR OFFICE SPACE AND STORAGE SPACE.
JUST A COUPLE OF THIS IS THE FLOOR PLAN SHOWING THE OFFICE SPACE AND THERE ALSO THIS WILL BE RESTROOMS AS PART OF THIS BUILDING . THE SOUTH WALL, AS MENTIONED, WILL NEED A ARTICULATION VARIANCE.
THE BUILDING DOES SIT 600 FEET FROM SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD IS NOT CLEARLY VISIBLE DUE TO VEGETATION AND DOES ARTICULATE THROUGH THE PILASTERS, BUT BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A SMALL BUILDING ARTICULATION WOULD REALLY AFFECT THE FLOOR PLAN OF THE BUILDING IF IT WERE TO MEET THE CODE.
IT'S ONLY ABOUT LESS THAN A FOOT OFF IN TERMS OF THE ARTICULATION.
SO THIS IS LOCATION OF THE BUILDING.
THIS IS THE DISTANCE FROM 1709, THE VIEW FROM 1709, BUT IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO OTHER STRUCTURES LOCATED ALREADY ON THE SITE.
THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING BACK TOWARD 1709 FROM THE GENERAL BUILDING LOCATION.
IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE A LIGHTING VARIANCE BEING REQUESTED
[02:10:02]
AND AS COUNCIL KNOWS THAT ANY TIME WE HAVE SPORTS LIGHTING IN OUR SCHOOLS OR PARKS, A VARIANCE HAS TO BE MET.SO THERE IS A LIGHTING VARIANCE THAT'S BEING REQUESTED.
THE EIGHT COURTS WILL BE LIT AS WELL AS THE CHAMPIONSHIP COURT, AND DIRECTOR TRAVEL CAN TALK TO HOW THOSE WILL BE CAN BE CONTROLLED BY PHONE AND TIMES FOR SHUTTING OFF.
SO THESE ARE THE SPECIFICS WHAT IS THE VARIANCE SPECIFICALLY IS THE 5700 KELVIN LED LIGHTS AND FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT ILLUMINATION IN ORDER TO ILLUMINATE TENNIS, PICKLEBALL, BASEBALL FIELDS, AND THEN THE AVERAGE FOOT CANDLE WILL EXCEED THE 30 THAT'S PERMITTED, BUT AGAIN, ALL ALL SPORTS LIGHTING DOES REQUIRE THE SAME VARIANCE.
IT'LL BE THE LATEST [INAUDIBLE] TYPE SYSTEM WHERE THERE'S NO SPILLAGE AND THOSE VALUES CUT OFF RIGHT AT THE AREA THAT'S INTENDED FOR LIGHTING. SO YOU DON'T HAVE THAT HALO EFFECT THAT WE USED TO HAVE TEN, 15 YEARS AGO.
VERY DIRECT LIGHTING THE DETAILS ON THE LIGHTING VARIANTS WAS THE ARTICULATIONS IN YOUR PACKET.
HERE ARE SOME SITE PHOTOGRAPHS.
WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM ANY SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.
P AND Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SIX ZERO.
OKAY, DIRECTOR TRIBBLE, ANYTHING FOR US OTHER THAN JUST ANSWERING QUESTIONS? SO WE'RE CALLING THIS THE TAJ MAHAL OF PICKLEBALL COMPLEXES, RIGHT? IT IS VERY NICE. REALLY NICE.
WELL DONE. WELL DONE, WHOEVER DESIGNED THIS.
APPARENTLY, IT'S I THINK, RANDY, YOU SAID EARLIER, THE FASTEST GROWING SPORT IN THE US.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S THE FASTEST GROWING SPORT IN THE UNITED STATES, AND YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS, IS BRINGING A FACILITY THAT'S WORLD CLASS. I MEAN, WE'LL BE ABLE TO TO HOST TOURNAMENTS AND BRING REVENUE INTO THE CITY, BOTH HOTEL AND RESTAURANT REVENUE WITH THIS, AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS, TOO, IS, AGAIN, JUST THE TREMENDOUS FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY WE HAVE WITH THE CITY, THIS FITS INTO PART OF 22 AND 23 SBDC CIP FUNDS AND DOESN'T DISPLACE OTHER PROJECTS.
SO IT'S REALLY IT'S A WIN WIN FOR EVERYBODY.
THAT'S GREAT. FORMER COUNCILMAN PATTON AND I WERE VERY EXCITED TO WORK ON THIS.
WE'RE BOTH TENNIS PLAYERS, BUT I THINK WE'RE IN A SHRINKING SEGMENT BECAUSE A LARGE PART OF OUR TENNIS FRIENDS HAVE TURNED TO PICKLEBALL ALMOST FULL TIME OR FULL TIME, AND WHEN IT FIRST KIND OF APPEARED ON THE SCENE, I THINK A LOT OF US WONDERED A FEW YEARS AGO, WHAT IS THIS THING? IS IT GOING TO LAST VERY LONG? AND IT'S WORLDWIDE.
IT'S INCREDIBLE, AND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN VERSION OF THE USTA.
I THINK THAT IT'S TIME AND WE NEED TO I MEAN, THIS THIS COMPLEX IS FANTASTIC.
WE CONSULTED AND I'M PRETTY SURE HIS REAL NAME IS JOHNNY PICKLEBALL.
HE'S HE'S HERE IN THE AREA AND HE'S MANAGED HUGE PICKLEBALL COMPLEXES BEFORE IN THE COUNTRY, AND HE GAVE US GREAT INPUT IN THE DESIGN AND HELPED US DOWN THE PATH OF LOOKING AT THIS IN TERMS OF BRINGING TOURNAMENTS AND PEOPLE HERE, NOT JUST FROM THE AREA BUT FROM THE COUNTRY.
SO I THINK IT'S VERY EXCITING FOR SOUTHLAKE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A WORLD CLASS FACILITY.
I GUESS MY REQUEST TO STAFF WOULD BE AS WE MANAGE THIS, I WOULD LOVE TO USE IT INTENTIONALLY TO BRING PEOPLE TO SOUTHLAKE, REALLY PUSH THE TOURNAMENTS, PUSH THE MARKETING THAT, HEY, WE DO HAVE THIS FACILITY, AND THEN HOPEFULLY AS THE SPORT CONTINUES TO GROW, WE BECOME KNOWN AS A DESTINATION, BRING ALL THAT TAX REVENUE HERE TO OUR RESTAURANTS AND OUR RETAILERS. I THINK THAT'D BE GREAT.
WAS IT TALKED ABOUT OR IS IT A NEED TO HAVE LIKE A CONCESSION AREA BUILT IN THAT LITTLE BUILDING WHERE PEOPLE CAN MAYBE GET WATERS OR WHATEVER? THINKING IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE ALL DAY.
[02:15:03]
THE OTHER THING WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE IT LAID OUT TO WHERE THEY CAN BRING FOOD TRUCKS IN, AND SO IN THE EVENT OF A LARGE EVENT, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM THERE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. SO WE LOOKED AT MORE IN THE LINES OF LOOKING AT FOOD TRUCKS AND OUTDOOR VENDOR TYPE SPACE.IN A LARGER SCALE TOURNAMENT OR ANY KIND OF LARGE TOURNAMENT, WE WOULD NEED TO TEMPORARILY STRIPE TENNIS COURTS AND THEN THAT FACILITY THERE AS WELL COULD BE USED FOR THAT TYPE OF THING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, ITEM 6H IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON I'M 6H, I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THAT UP.
SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, I'LL TAKE A MOTION.
YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6H OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ZA22-0023 SITE PLAN FOR BICENTENNIAL PARK PICKLEBALL COURTS ON A PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOT ONE BLOCK ONE BICENTENNIAL PARK ADDITION CITY OF SOUTHLAKE TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED AT 450 WEST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.
CURRENT ZONING COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT.
THIS IS SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED JUNE 13, 2022 AND THE SITE PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER TWO DATED JUNE 13, 2022, NOTING THE FOLLOWING THAT WE'RE GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 480 SECTION 43.19.D.1.C TO ALLOW THE SOUTHERN BUILDING FACADE ARTICULATION AS PRESENTED WE'RE ALSO GRANTING VARIANCE TO LIGHTING ORDINANCE NUMBER 693-C, SECTION 5B ALLOWING THE PROPOSED AVERAGE LIGHTING INTENSITY TO BE APPROXIMATELY 50 FOOT CANDLES AND FINALLY GRANTING VARIANCE TO LIGHTING ORDINANCE NUMBER 693-C SECTION 4B, ALLOWING THE PROPOSED LIGHTING TYPE TO BE LED LIGHTING AT A TEMPERATURE RANGE AT APPROXIMATELY 5700 DEGREES KELVIN.
GREAT WE'VE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
ITEM SIX H IS APPROVED SIX ZERO AND PICKLEBALL IS COMING TO SOUTHLAKE.
[6.I. Approve amendment to the professional services contract with Parkhill, Inc. for the design and engineering of the Bicentennial Park Pickleball Complex in an amount not to exceed $160,000.]
PICKLEBALL TAJ MAHAL COMPLEX IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $160,000.DIRECTOR TRIBBLE I THINK WE COULD JUST GET THE HIGH LEVEL KIND OF SOUTHLAKE THE PROJECT WAS $1,055,000, SO THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT FOR PARK HILL WAS $150,000.
THAT CONSTRUCTION BUDGET NOW IS ESTIMATED AT $3.4 MILLION, AND SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS AN AMENDMENT OF 160,000, WHICH WOULD BRING THE TOTAL DESIGN COST TO 310,000. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY, THANKS, DIRECTOR TRIBBLE.
TO SOMEONE'S POINT EARLIER, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE GETTING THREE TIMES THE SCOPE FOR MAYBE ROUGHLY TWICE THE DESIGN COST, SO WE'RE GETTING A DEAL. OKAY, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR DISCUSSION, COUNCIL? THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING. SO IF YOU GUYS ARE READY, I'LL TAKE A MOTION.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6I OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS 6I [CHUCKLING] APPROVING THE AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH PARK HILL INC.
WE HAVE A MOTION, IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE AND THAT ITEM PASSES SIX ZERO.
[6.J. Resolution No. 22-016, (ZA22-0024), Specific Use Permit for a Mass Gathering for Somos Southlake on property described as Blocks 7 and 8; Lot 3R, Block 1R; and Lot 4R, Block 5R; Phase I, Southlake Town Square Addition and portions of State Street, Main Street and Grand Avenue, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located between E. Southlake Blvd., Main Street, State Street, and Grand Avenue, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "DT" Downtown District. SPIN Neighborhood #8. PUBLIC HEARING]
GATHERING FOR SOMOS SOUTHLAKE DIRECTOR BAKER, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THE APPLICANT, SOMOS SOUTHLAKE IS A QUESTION OF APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A MASS GATHERING EVENT FOR THE EVENT OCCUR ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2ND, 2022 THIS YEAR, AND ALLOW THE EVENT FOR A FIVE YEAR PERIOD TO OCCUR IN AND AROUND THAT SAME TIME ANNUALLY THE LOCATION WILL BE IN THE SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE, TOWN CENTER LAND USE DESIGNATION DT ZONING LAND USE COMPATIBLE WITH THE EVENT.THIS IS AN AERIAL AND AN EVENT MAP SHOWING THE EVENT SITE PLAN INCLUDE THE CLOSING OF FOUNTAIN PLACE.
THE EVENT IS PART OF THE HISPANIC HERITAGE FIESTA.
THIS WILL MARK THE SECOND YEAR OF THE CELEBRATION.
[02:20:03]
IT CAME UNDER THE ADMINISTRATIVE MASS GATHERING PERMIT LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE POPULARITY EXPECTED TO GROW ABOVE THAT 1000 PERSON THRESHOLD AS SUCH ARE COMING FORWARD FOR AN SUP AND ASKING FOR A FIVE YEAR PERIOD.THE EVENT WILL INCLUDE FOOD TRUCKS THAT ARE SHOWN ALONG STAGE STREET AND GRAND AVENUE.
THERE ARE RETAILERS SHOWN WITHIN THE PARK AREA BY THE STARS.
CLOSED BATHROOMS AND COMFORT STATIONS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE EAST OF FOUNTAIN PLACE BY THE DIAMONDS SHOWN ON THE EXHIBIT.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE EVENT PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE PREVIOUS EVENT LAST YEAR.
WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSES FROM ANY SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.
THE P AND Z DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR A FIVE YEAR PERIOD.
THEY APPROVED THAT RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SIX ZERO.
I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? MY ONLY QUESTION IS RELATED TO THE FIVE YEAR USE PERMIT AND THE TIME PERIOD THAT IT WOULD BE ALLOWED ONLY BECAUSE OF OCTOBERFEST BEING SO CLOSE. DOES IT HAVE TO FALL IN THAT SAME WEEKEND OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? WE'VE LOOKED AT IT GENERALLY AND THERE'S NO CONFLICTS, BUT WE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EVENTS IN THE FALL, OBVIOUSLY, WITH OCTOBERFEST AND ARDEN SQUARES EARLIER, BUT HOMECOMING, BUT WE DID LOOK IN THAT TIME PERIOD IS OPEN.
SO WE'RE NOT SEEING ANY CONFLICTS.
THERE'S ENOUGH OF A BUFFER BETWEEN EVENTS, SO WE WOULDN'T CREATE A CONFLICT IN THE EVENTS , AND SO THE PERMIT WOULD ENABLE THE APPLICANT TO HOST IT ON THAT SPECIFIC WEEKEND EVERY YEAR FOR FIVE YEARS, OR IS IT A 30 DAY WINDOW? HOW DOES THE ACTUAL IT THEY'VE PROVIDED THE DATES AND THE PACKET BUT IT FALLS ON THAT WEEKEND THAT GENERALLY THAT FIRST WEEKEND IN OCTOBER.
YEAH. THE CONSTRAINT WE HAVE, I THINK HISPANIC HERITAGE IS SEPTEMBER 15TH OR OCTOBER 15TH.
THERE'S NO WAY THEY COULD BE ON THE SAME WEEKEND AS ANOTHER MAJOR EVENT BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME SITE.
PERFECT. OKAY, THANKS DIRECTOR BAKER.
THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE. COME ON DOWN IF YOU GUYS COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAMES AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU GOT PLANNED FOR THIS YEAR'S EVENT.
MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] O'CALLAHAN.
THANK YOU, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FOR HAVING US HERE.
WHAT'S YOUR ADDRESS? MY ADDRESS.
405 TIMBERLAKE WAY SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.
HI, EVERYONE. HEATHER GILLETTE.
I'M AT 1117 [INAUDIBLE] DRIVE IN SOUTHLAKE.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR LISTENING TO US TODAY.
MY NAME IS MARIA [INAUDIBLE]. AT 1004 [INAUDIBLE] HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.
I LIVE ON 708 [INAUDIBLE] COURT, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE CITY STAFF.
THEY'RE AMAZING. THEY HELPED US IN EVERY SINGLE WAY.
LAST YEAR WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT.
CAN I BRING THIS UP? AND THE CITY AND WE JUST HAD A POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM EVERYONE.
OUR MAIN GOAL IS YES, FESTIVITY TO BE VERY FESTIVE, TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER, TO MEET FRIENDS THAT WE'VE NEVER MET BEFORE, TO UNITE SOUTHLAKE, BUT OUR SECOND GOAL IS TO BE SAFE.
THE CITY SPOKE WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THEY WENT THROUGH OUR MAP TWICE.
WE FOLLOWED UP, AND I THINK IT WILL BE NOT ONLY FESTIVE, IT'LL BE SAFE AND INFORMATIVE BECAUSE YOU WILL LEARN NEW THINGS ABOUT IT.
MY POWERPOINT ISN'T HERE, RIGHT? WAS IT CONNECTED? NO, I CREATED A POWERPOINT AND YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON IT.
WEEKS. YOU BETTER SEND IT TO US LATER.
[02:25:02]
WE WILL PORE OVER IT. WE PROMISE.WE, BECAUSE OF ALL THE EVENTS, OCTOBER IS VERY BUSY THE CITY AND CAME UP WITH THE FIRST SUNDAY OF OCTOBER, WHICH IS A DIFFERENT NUMBER, BUT LAST YEAR WAS THE THIRD.
THIS YEAR WILL BE ON THE SECOND AND SO ON, AND OUR REQUEST IS FOR THE EVENT TO BE FOR FIVE YEARS, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO REAPPLY.
THE THREE MEMBERS NOT HERE TONIGHT, BUT WE ARE SEVEN PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING UP AND MAKING SURE THE EVENT IS CLEAN AND SAFE AND FESTIVE. THANK YOU.
I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT THE TIMING FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH IS SEPTEMBER 15 TO OCTOBER 15, AND WE'LL GLADLY WORK WITH THE PLANNERS TO PICK WHICHEVER DATE IS BETTER.
OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T WANT CONFLICTS AND ALL OF THAT, SO IT'S NOT MARRIED TO OCTOBER 2ND.
WE CAN PICK ANY DATE BETWEEN THE RANGE, THE 15 AND THE 15.
GREAT. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT, GUYS? WELL, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ALL THIS WORK TOGETHER.
I GUESS TWO COMMENTS. FIRST, THIS GROUP CAME TOGETHER, I THINK WITH 13 DAYS NOTICE LAST YEAR AND THE SEVEN OF THEM PULLED OFF ONE OF MY FAVORITE EVENTS OF THE ENTIRE CALENDAR YEAR. YOU GUYS DID A PHENOMENAL JOB.
IT'S GOING TO BE SUPER FUN, AND THEN I JUST THE LAST COMMENT, THIS IS A REALLY SPECIAL EVENT BECAUSE IT BRINGS SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS BECAUSE THE LATINO COMMUNITY IS VERY DIVERSE, STRETCHES MULTIPLE CONTINENTS AND ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC, AND IT WAS REALLY NEAT TO SEE FOLKS COME OUT, AND I REMEMBER YOU GUYS STRUNG ALL THE DIFFERENT FLAGS FROM THE 31 ISH COUNTRIES IN THE LATINO KIND OF CONSTELLATION, AND IT WAS REALLY FUN TO SEE PEOPLE WALK THROUGH AND FIND THEIR FLAG AND TOUCH IT AND FEEL AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH IT, AND THEN MARK ON THE MAP WHERE THEY WERE FROM, IT WAS IT WAS IT WAS REALLY FUN BECAUSE YOU COULD TELL THAT THEY FELT SEEN AND FELT HEARD AND FELT THEIR PRIDE, PRIDE FROM WHERE THEY WERE AND PROUD THAT SOUTHLAKE WAS TAKING THE TIME TO HONOR THEIR HERITAGE AS WELL.
SO THAT WAS REALLY SPECIAL, AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DID TO PULL THAT OFF.
LOOK VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS EVENT.
SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS, TOO, BECAUSE I REMEMBER SHOWING UP LAST YEAR TO TAKE A PICTURE.
I HAD AN EVENT BEFORE AN EVENT AFTERWARDS, SO I WASN'T ABLE TO STAY LONG.
SO I'M SO HAPPY THIS IS COMING BACK, AND I JUST HAVE TO SAY AND NOT TO BE PETTY, BUT FOR AS MUCH AS THE TROLLS LOVE TO HIT US ON TWITTER ABOUT WHAT WE DON'T DO, IT TAKES ALL IT TAKES IS PEOPLE LIKE THIS TO STEP UP.
IT'S IN THE CHARTER. IT'S COUNCIL PEOPLE MEMBERS, WE'RE FACILITATORS.
SO WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING, BUT WE WILL SUPPORT WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING.
SO TWITTER TROLLS LOOK AT WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
SO THANK YOU ALL. I KNOW ALL THESE PEOPLE.
SO THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
I WILL TAKE A MOTION. YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6J OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS RESOLUTION NUMBER 22-016 ZA 22-0024 SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A MASS GATHERING FOR SOMO SOUTHLAKE PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS BLOCK SEVEN AND EIGHT, LOT 3R BLOCK 1R AND LOT 4R BLOCK 5R PHASE ONE, SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE ADDITION AND PORTIONS OF STATE STREET, MAIN STREET AND GRAND AVENUE, CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, AND LOCATED BETWEEN EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, MAIN STREET, STATE STREET AND GRAND AVENUE, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.
CURRENT ZONING IS DOWNTOWN DISTRICT SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED JUNE 14, 2022, AND THE SPECIFIC USE PERMITS STAFF REVIEW NUMBER THREE DATE OF JUNE 14, 2022 AND NOTING THAT WE ARE APPROVING THIS SUP FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS.
SO THAT WAS A WONDERFUL MOTION. BEFORE I CALL FOR A SECOND, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING BECAUSE WE NEED TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE I DEFINITELY DIDN'T FORGET FOR THE THIRD TIME TONIGHT, MY GOSH, ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A SECOND.
PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. CONGRATULATIONS.
WE CANNOT WAIT TO HAVE YOU GUYS IN TOWN SQUARE.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, THAT WILL CALL ITEM 6K AND 6L.
[Items 6K & 6L]
WE'RE GOING TO CALL THESE TOGETHER.6K IS ZA 22-0025 SITE PLAN FOR LOT 2 BLOCK 16 SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE ADDITION AND THEN 6L IS APPROVE AN ENCROACHMENT AND JOINT USE AGREEMENT FOR SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE LOT 16 LOT TWO OUTDOOR PATIO WITHIN THE CITY RIGHT OF WAY OF DIVISION STREET AND RESERVE STREET.
[02:30:10]
DIRECTOR BAKER.AS MENTIONED ITEM 6K WHICH WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE CONSIDERATION OF A SITE PLAN FOR A LOCATION AT 500 DIVISION STREET, THE PROPERTIES OUTLINED BY THE RED LINE.
YOU'LL BE ASKED TO CONSIDER TWO RESTAURANT OPTIONS.
THIS IS A CLOSE IN OR A LARGE VIEW OF THE PROPERTY UNDER CONSIDERATION JUST SOUTH OF GRANITE ONE BUILDING AND THE GRANITE TWO UNDER CONSTRUCTION JUST TO THE EAST.
A COUPLE OF PHOTOS OF THE SITE LOOKING BACK TOWARD DPS, POLICE, FIRE HEADQUARTERS, CONSTRUCTION AND THEN ONE LOOKING BACK MORE NORTHERLY TOWARD 114.
THIS IS SHOWING A GROUND SHOT OF THE SITE WITH CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY.
THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING SOUTH TOWARD DIVISION STREET.
THE ENCROACHMENT ITEM FOLLOWING THE SITE PLAN ITEM IS TO ALLOW THE PATIO OF THE RESTAURANT TO ENCROACH INTO THE CITIES RIGHT AWAY. THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT HAS LOOKED AT THAT AND DOES NOT FEEL LIKE THE ENCROACHMENT WOULD CAUSE ANY SITE ISSUES IN TERMS OF ALLOWING TRAFFIC TO INGRESS AND EGRESS.
THE USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE PLAN AS WELL AS THE EXISTING ZONING.
SO THIS IS A SITE PLAN REQUEST.
IN ADDITION, ON THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT AND TWO LAST ITERATIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS, BOTH PLANS HAVE SHOWN THIS IS A RESTAURANT SITE AND HAS BEEN A PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
SO THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.
THIS IS THE OPTION ONE SITE PLAN OR THE LARGER SITE PLAN.
THIS SHOWS RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED PLAN.
THE RESTAURANT IS AN ART DECO EXTERIOR TYPE OF DESIGN.
IT HAS EXPANDABLE GLASS FRONT AND IT ALLOWS THE VIEWS INTO THE RESTAURANT FROM THE STREET VIEWS.
THE ELEVATIONS THAT ARE FACING THE STREET ARE PRIMARILY BRICK, AS SHOWN IN THE EXHIBIT AROUND THE MAIN ENTRY THAT WILL BE A STUCK STUCCO TYPE OF ELEMENT.
THE PATIO IS APPROXIMATELY 1295 SQUARE FEET AND WILL ALLOW OUTDOOR DINING AND SEATING OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT.
THIS IS THE LARGE SITE PLAN AND THE SOME OF THE PATIO AREA WILL EXTEND INTO THE CITY'S RIGHT AWAY AREA.
THE OPTION THAT IS THE OPTION TO BASICALLY REMOVE THIS LAST BAY AREA, AND THIS AREA WHERE THIS AREA OF THE LARGER OPTION ONE BUILDING SITS WILL BE MORE OF A LANDSCAPED TYPE OF AREA, WHICH I'LL SHOW HERE IN A SECOND.
SO THIS IS JUST DETAILS OF THE BUILDING ON ALL FOUR SIDES.
SO THIS IS A TREE PRESERVATION.
THERE'LL BE SOME TREES THAT WILL BE REMOVED AND SOME TREES REPLACED, AS WELL AS SOME ADDITIONAL SHRUBBERY AND PLANTINGS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PATIO. THE OPTION TO IS THE SMALLER OPTION, WHICH IS JUST OVER 5000 SQUARE FEET, AND ESSENTIALLY THAT LAST BAY AREA WOULD BE ELIMINATED IN THIS OPTION TOO, BUT ALL THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES MATERIALS ARE THE SAME AS PRESENTED FOR OPTION ONE.
AS MENTIONED, IF THE OPTION ONE BUILDING IS NOT CONSTRUCTED, THIS WOULD BECOME A LANDSCAPE AREA.
[02:35:06]
THE DUMPSTER WOULD BE BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND THE GRANITE BUILDING.THE APPLICANTS INDICATED THAT THEY, TO MAKE THIS MORE VISUALLY PLEASING, WILL BE AN ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT OR WALKING TYPE OF GARDEN AREA BEHIND THE BUILDING.
PARKING WOULD BE PROVIDED ON THE STREET AND IN THE PARKING STRUCTURE.
STAFF HAS LOOKED AT THE PARKING AND DETERMINED IT IS SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT THE USE.
ITEM SIX L IS THE ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT AND JOINT USE AGREEMENT FOR THE PATIO.
GENERAL LOCATION AND THE PATIO AREA.
I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF GUYS? DIRECTOR COHEN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD BEFORE YOU ESCAPE? OKAY, ANY QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR BAKER? OKAY, THANK YOU, SIR. I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE MORE.
FRANK BLISS 621 SHANNON COURT HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.
HAPPY TO BE HERE. I THINK KEN DID A GREAT JOB OF PRESENTING THIS.
I'VE GOT SLIDES, BUT THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT I CAN ADD.
I WILL SAY THAT IN TERMS OF THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WE STUDIED THE 7000 SQUARE FEET THAT THIS WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED FOR, AND WE FELT THAT IT JUST MADE THE SITE TOO TIGHT WHEN WE REALLY GOT INTO PLANNING THE BUILDING AND THE LANDSCAPING.
SO THE LARGER OF THESE TWO BUILDINGS IS AS BIG AS WE WOULD MAKE IT.
WE'RE TALKING TO TWO RESTAURANTS RIGHT NOW.
THE ONE THAT'S FURTHEST ADVANCED IS ACTUALLY THE SMALLER OF THE TWO OPTIONS.
JUST IN TALKING GENERALLY WITH THE OFFICE BUILDINGS, THERE'S A LOT OF EXCITEMENT ABOUT A RESTAURANT COMING TO THIS BLOCK ON THAT CORNER, AND THEIR QUESTION IS HOW MUCH MEETING SPACES ARE GOING TO BE. IF WE WANT TO HAVE FUNCTIONS, CAN THE RESTAURANT ACCOMMODATE THAT? SO THAT MAY INFLUENCE A LITTLE BIT THE FOOTPRINT SIZE, BUT THESE ARE THE GOALPOSTS, 5170 TO ABOUT 6145.
BUILDING DESIGN ART DECO FITS WITH TOWN SQUARE, THE AREA THAT KEN MENTIONED BEHIND THE BUILDING.
SO AT THE TOP HERE, THERE ARE FULL HEIGHT GLASS WINDOWS FROM THE GRANITE OFFICE BUILDING THAT LOOK OUT OVER THIS AREA, AND SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE WRAPPED THE FACADE AND CARRIED THE BRICK AND THE GLASS AROUND THE CORNER TO CREATE SORT OF A GARDEN MOMENT HERE. SO IT WILL BE PLEASING TO LOOK AT IT FROM THE GRANITE BUILDING.
IT'LL BE PLEASING TO LOOK AT IT IF YOU'RE A DINER AT THE RESTAURANT, LANDSCAPE PLAN IS STREETSCAPE AND PATIO AND THE PATIO.
YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN YOU I'VE SEEN MOST OF YOU THERE.
MOXY IS A VERY POPULAR PATIO AND I GET ASKED THE QUESTION ALL THE TIME, WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE MORE PATIOS LIKE THAT? THEY'RE JUST A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED BECAUSE THEY INVOLVE THE CITY RIGHT AWAY.
THEY'RE MORE EXPENSIVE TO BUILD.
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN'T GET TENANTS TO PAY FOR THEM, BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, WITH GRANITE AND WITH THE SECOND OFFICE BUILDING WRAPPING THE CORNER OVER HERE, WE THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST A GREAT LOCATION TO ADD THAT CORNER PATIO FEATURE, SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS.
SO IS THIS SITE PLAN COME ALONG OR ARE YOU ASKING US TO CHOOSE BETWEEN OPTION ONE AND OPTION TO KNOW WHAT WE WHAT WE WANTED TO SHOW WAS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING IS MAXIMUM BUILDING SIZE OF 61, 45 SQUARE FEET.
WE'RE SHOWING THE 5170 OPTION BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO SHOW YOU THE LARGER BUILDING AND THEN SHOW UP MAYBE WITH A SMALLER TENANT AND HAVE SOMEBODY SAY, WELL, WE THOUGHT IT WAS A BIGGER BUILDING, IT LOOKS DIFFERENT.
A QUESTION FOR DIRECTOR BAKER, AND I COULD JUST NOT BE REMEMBERING SOMETHING, BUT I CAN'T.
I CAN'T RECALL A SITE PLAN I'VE EVER BEEN ASKED TO VOTE ON THAT DIDN'T HAVE A PRECISE BUILDING SIZE.
WE'VE HAD VERY FEW AND THEY'RE NOT VERY FREQUENT, BUT WE HAVE WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OPTIONS A COUPLE OF TIMES WHERE WE'VE HAD SITE PLANS APPROVED WITH OPTIONS FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE STANDPOINT, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GO BEYOND THE MAXIMUM BUILDING FOOTPRINT, WE'VE ALWAYS ALLOWED APPLICANTS TO GO
[02:40:06]
SMALLER ON SITE PLANS.WHAT THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR IS APPROVAL OF BOTH OPTIONS.
THE OTHER THAN THAT, BAY, THAT'S NEXT TO THE [INAUDIBLE] BUILDING.
BUILDING ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.
IT'S AN OPTION ONE OPTION TWO IS WHAT'S BEEN REQUESTED.
ALTHOUGH ISN'T THIS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT THE APPLICANT'S ASKING FOR A PATIO IN THE CITY RIGHT AWAY? WELL, THEY'RE ASKING FOR A PATIO BOTH WAYS.
I BELIEVE THE SCALE OF THE PATIO WOULD BE THE SAME.
WOULD BE THE SAME REGARDLESS. FOR BOTH BUILDINGS, BUT MAYBE TO RANDY'S POINT, IF THE SMALLER OPTION WAS MADE, THEN THE WHOLE BUILDING COULD SHIFT, LIKE ON THIS RENDERING TO THE LEFT, AND YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO BE ENCROACHING RIGHT IN THE CITY, RIGHT OF WAY WITH THE PATIO IF IT WAS THE SMALLER SIZE.
I THINK IT'S PERHAPS WHERE COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMSON WAS GOING.
YEAH, THAT'S WHY WE WANTED TO SHOW BOTH OPTIONS.
BOTH RESTAURANT OPERATORS HAVE REQUESTED THIS PATIO ARRANGEMENT.
IF YOU SHIFTED THE BUILDING AND SHIFTED EVERYTHING ON BOARD, NOW THE PATIO IS ACTUALLY SITTING INSIDE THE LINE OF THE FACING BUILDINGS, AND SO IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT'S OUT THERE IN THE PEDESTRIAN WALKABLE AREA.
SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO SHOW BOTH.
SO WHAT IF NEITHER OPERATOR SIGNS AND YOU HAVE A THIRD GUY WHO'S SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO.
ARCHITECTURALLY, WE'D STILL WANT TO BUILD IT THIS WAY, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT SIZE THAT MIGHT BE.
WHAT IF NEITHER OF THESE RESTAURANTS FALL WOULD HAVE BOTH FALL THROUGH? AND YOU'VE GOT A THIRD OPERATOR THAT WANTS BUILDING SIZE BETWEEN THE TWO, BETWEEN 6100 AND 5100.
ALLOW THE CORNER PATIO AND THEN THE MARKET WILL DICTATE, BUT I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT WITH THE RESTAURANT CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS THAT THIS RESTAURANT WILL LEASE.
SO I'M CONCERNED THAT I'M ABOUT TO APPROVE A SITE PLAN THAT'S RATHER OPEN ENDED.
IF COUNCIL WOULD PREFER TO CONSIDER JUST THE 6145, THEN THAT WORKS.
THAT GIVES ME ALL THE APPROVAL I NEED TO WORK WITH THE MARKET.
CAN YOU CLARIFY, DIRECTOR BAKER, IS THERE ALREADY AN APPROVED SITE PLAN AT 7100? THERE'S AN APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT SHOWS UP TO 7000 SQUARE FEET DEVELOPMENT PLAN, BUT NOT WITH THE PATIO, BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW A CORNER PATIO.
[INAUDIBLE]. WELL, I'M MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE 6100, I MEAN, THAT'S FINE.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PATIO.
CAN WE GET ADDED CLARITY AROUND THERE WAS MENTIONED THAT THE PATIO STEPPING OUT INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY TO DIRECTOR COHEN'S OPINION WOULD NOT IMPAIR SITE LINES AND SO FORTH.
DO WE HAVE ANY EVIDENCE OR DATA ON THAT OR IS THAT JUST AN OPINION? AND SHOULD WE SEEK TO GET MORE DATA? I MEAN, IT'S AN IMPORTANT INTERSECTION AND ONCE IT'S FILLED, IT'S BUILT.
YES, SIR. SO WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ONCE THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS COMMAND, THE ACTUAL DESIGN OF RECORD WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SITE LINES ARE CLEAR AS PART OF THEIR THEIR DESIGN. SO WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS COME IN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL BE REQUIRED OF THEIR DESIGN ENGINEER.
OK. I'M JUST THINKING THROUGH APPROVING A SITE PLAN, THOUGH, THAT HAS IT.
BEFORE WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE YOU KNOW, WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
YES, SIR. I'M ALSO COMFORTABLE TABLING IF WE WANT TO WAIT AND LET MR. BLISS GET SOME MORE INFORMATION, MAYBE SIGNS, LACES OR SOMETHING.
I DON'T THIS THIS FEELS INCOMPLETE.
I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. IF YOU'D LIKE MORE INFORMATION ON SITE LINES, WE CAN PROVIDE THAT.
OUR ENGINEER HAS LOOKED AT IT.
WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHT? I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID, MAYOR.
[02:45:05]
I MEAN, I'LL JUST SHARE.MY CONCERN WITH TABLING IS I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS MEET AGAIN UNTIL AUGUST.
THAT'S GOING TO SLOW DOWN MY ABILITY TO GET THIS RESTAURANT GOING.
I UNDERSTAND. I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHERE I AM.
THEY MAY DISAGREE. THE REST OF COUNCIL MAY DISAGREE.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION.
THE INFORMATION WE'RE MISSING IS ON THE PATIO.
YOU'VE LEFT THE HOLE THE SIZE OPEN ENDED.
YOU LEFT THE PATIO LOCATION OPEN, AND WE DON'T HAVE SITE LINES.
WE THE ENGINEER, THE DRAWINGS THAT WE HAVE SHOWN SO FAR.
I'LL USE THE MOXIE'S PATIO FOR REFERENCE.
THAT INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED IN OUR APPLICATION.
AS FAR AS. DO YOU HAVE PICTURES.
DO YOU HAVE DO YOU HAVE SOME PHOTO RENDERINGS OR SOMETHING THAT SHOW WHAT THE RIGHT AWAY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE? DO WE HAVE ANYTHING THAT WOULD DEPICT THAT? WELL, IN TERMS OF.
THIS SHOWS HOW THE PATIO STEPS INSIDE A FOUR FOOT ZONE FOR PLANNING AND A SIX FOOT ZONE.
SO WE'RE TEN FOOT BACK FROM THE CURB AND THAT RADIUS CURVE WITH A VIEW CORRIDOR AROUND IT.
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SHOW YOU A PICTURE TILL THERE TILL THERE'S A BUILDING THERE, BUT.
WE GET RENDERINGS ALL THE TIME.
CAN YOU GO BACK AND SHOW WHERE THE SECOND GRANITE WHERE YOU ARE IN RELATION TO THE SECOND GRANITE BUILDING? SO THERE'S GRANITE TWO TO THE LEFT.
AND THIS RENDERING SHOWS HOW YOU MOVE AROUND THAT CORNER.
THIS IS WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ELEVATION THAT FACES SOUTH TOWARD THE PARK AND TOWARD THE HILTON.
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A LEGAL QUESTION ON THE ENCROACHMENT ISSUE AND MIGHT NEED GUIDANCE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY IN EXEC SESSION IF THE ENCROACHMENT ISSUE IS APPROPRIATE FOR A LEGAL CONSULTATION.
SO AS MAYOR, I HEREBY ADVISE YOU THAT WE'RE GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, SECTION 551.071 TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY, AND WE'LL BE BACK IN A FEW MINUTES.
OKAY, I'LL CALL THE REGULAR SESSION BACK INTO ORDER.
YOU OKAY THERE COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED? OKAY, SO I'M GOING TO SAY WHERE I AM ON THIS.
I DO NOT FEEL LIKE, BASED ON THE CURRENT APPLICATION, THAT I HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO PROCEED.
WE'VE GOT DIFFERENT OPTIONS WITH DIFFERENT SITE PLANS.
I'M NOT COMFORTABLE GOING FORWARD AT THIS POINT.
WHAT'S Y'ALLS THOUGHT? I AGREE COMPLETELY.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE TO MY COMMENTS EARLIER THE OPTION B, I THINK IT IS THE SMALLER ONE WITH THE WHOLE BUILDING SHIFTED AWAY FROM THE ENCROACHMENT TO SEE HOW THAT LOOKS, OR ALTERNATIVELY TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, IF THE APPLICANT WANTS TO GO WITH THE LARGER FOOTPRINT, WE NEED TO SEE THOSE SITE LINES FOR SAFETY REASONS WITH RESPECT TO THE ENCROACHMENT.
I THINK THAT'S ENTIRELY FAIR AND REASONABLE GIVEN WHERE WE ARE.
I THINK THAT EVEN THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO CONCEDE THAT THOSE ARE FAIR POINTS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TABLE YOU TO THE NEXT MEETING, WHICH WOULD BE THE FIRST MEETING, AUGUST.
ARE YOU HEARING WHAT WE'RE SECOND SECOND MEETING IN AUGUST? AUGUST 2ND. MR. BLISS, DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION FROM US AT THIS POINT TO BE ABLE TO BRING THIS BACK TO US?
[02:50:01]
OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.THEN I WILL TAKE A MOTION TO TABLE.
YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL I MOVE THAT WE TABLE ITEM 6L WHICH IS AN ENCROACHMENT JOINT USE AGREEMENT FOR SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE AND THIS ITEM WILL BE TAKEN BACK UP.
6K. EXCUSE ME. YEAH, WELL, JUST ONE SECOND.
WELL, THEY ARE TOGETHER. COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON.
WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR TABLING.
CORRECT. OKAY, ALL RIGHT,I'LL BEGIN AND REVISE MAYOR COUNCIL.
I KNOW THAT WE TABLE ITEMS 6K AND 6L AND THEY'LL BE TAKEN BACK UP ON THE AUGUST 2ND, 2022 AGENDA.
OK, WE HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
