THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE'LL SEE YOU GUYS OUT IN THE LOBBY IN A SECOND.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S THE SIGNAL TO START THE MEETING.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND GAVEL BACK INTO REGULAR SESSION.

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US TONIGHT.

FIRST, WE JUST GOT OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER WATCHED ONE OF OUR MEETINGS.

AND FIRST QUESTION I GOT TO ASK, IS ANY ACTION NECESSARY OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO, MAYOR. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT MOVE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM THREE, WHICH IS THE MAYOR'S REPORT.

[3. A. Mayor's Report ]

TONIGHT, WE ARE HONORING SOME VERY SPECIAL YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAD A REALLY FUN SUMMER IN NEW YORK.

AND SO IF.

EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE IS HERE FOR THE SAME THING, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU GUYS WHO DON'T KNOW MICHELLE AND DAVID CICCONE, WHO ARE THERE IN THE BACK LEAD A TEAM OR MULTIPLE TEAMS OF SOUTHLAKE KIDS AND KIDS FROM AROUND SOUTH LAKE TO COOPERSTOWN, NEW YORK, EVERY YEAR AS PART OF THE SOUTHLAKE DRAGON DREAMERS PROGRAM.

AND THE TEAMS TYPICALLY ARE 12.

THIS YEAR, A TEAM OF 13 YEAR, YOU KIDS GOT TO GO AS WELL.

PART OF THIS REALLY SPECIAL BONDING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL THE KIDS.

BUT PART OF THIS ALSO IS SERVICE.

SO ALL THE DRAGON DREAMERS TEAMS HAVE BEEN VERY INVOLVED IN VOLUNTEERING WITH THE MIRACLE LEAGUE OF SOUTHLAKE, WHICH IS REALLY SPECIAL.

AND PART OF THE DRAGON DREAMERS PROGRAM IS MR. JOHN SLOCOMBE, WHO HAS BEEN A LIAISON WITH THE MIRACLE LEAGUE OF SOUTHLAKE.

AND EVERY YEAR IN FACT, THERE ARE MIRACLE LEAGUE PLAYERS WHO GET TO GO WITH THE SOUTHLAKE DRAGON DREAMERS TO COOPERSTOWN, NEW YORK FOR THESE TOURNAMENTS, WHICH IS REALLY SPECIAL.

AND THE THIS YEAR WAS, I MEAN, EVEN MORE SPECIAL THAN NORMAL BECAUSE WE HAD AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF SUCCESS AT BOTH THE 13 YEAR AND CERTAINLY THE 12 YOU LEVEL. SO I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND INVITE COACH DAVID DOWN TO THE PODIUM IF YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS.

DAVID CICCONE WITH THE DRAGON DREAMERS.

SO, COACH, I DON'T WANT TO STEAL YOUR THUNDER, BUT YOU HAD A GOOD BIT OF SUCCESS.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2013.

YOU HAD A GOOD BIT OF SUCCESS WITH BOTH OF THESE TEAMS. SO TELL US ALL ABOUT IT.

WE DID SUCCESS FIRST COMES IN FUN.

I'LL START OUR START WITH THAT.

SO AND I THINK CAN I ATTEST THAT WE HAD SOME FUN? YEAH, WE GOT A GOOD CHARACTER.

WE HAVE SOME TIME. SO WE HAVE BEEN WE STARTED THIS IN 2013, ACTUALLY BACK IN NEW YORK AND WE ACTUALLY BROUGHT THIS HERE TO SOUTH LAKE, AND WE'VE ACTUALLY SPAWNED IT IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS, WITH THE HELP OF JOHN SLOCUM AND COACH LUKE PRESUTTI, WHO ACTUALLY IS THE FOUNDER AND OWNER OF DREAMS PARK, ACTUALLY CAME HERE FOR OPENING CEREMONIES OF THE MIRACLE LEAGUE BACK IN 2015.

SO WHEN HE DID THAT, WE ACTUALLY IT WAS VERY EYE OPENING FOR HIM.

AND WE SAID, OH, MY GOODNESS, WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY IS.

HE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT ACTUALLY HAVING MORE LEAGUE FOLKS AND KIDS AND PLAYERS ACTUALLY AT DREAMS PARK.

SO WE CHANGED THAT IN 2017.

IT WAS OUR FIRST TEAM THAT WENT THERE AND TRUTH BE TOLD, WE WENT ONE IN SEVEN.

THE THE KIDS HAD A WONDERFUL TIME, THE PARENTS HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME.

AND WE'VE EVOLVED SINCE THEN FROM A, FROM A SKILL SET PERSPECTIVE, FROM HOW WE GO OUT AND TALK WITH PARENTS AND THE GREAT THING IS WE ACTUALLY HAVE A BUNCH OF RETURNING KIDS, LITTLE SIBLINGS ON OUR TEAM THIS YEAR, AND THEY'VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT GOING FOR A LONG TIME.

SO THAT'S REALLY GOOD.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU GET TO ASK THEY ASK THE COACH THE QUESTION, SO WHO'S BETTER COACH ME OR MY BIG BROTHER? THOSE TYPE OF THINGS ARE ME OR MY BIGGER SISTER, RIGHT? SO WE GET THOSE TYPE OF QUESTIONS, BUT CERTAINLY A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.

WE SPEND A GOOD CHUNK OF JULY THERE.

I HAD SOME GREAT COMPANY.

IT GOES REALLY WITH GREAT PARENTS, WITH GREAT COACHES AND FANTASTIC FRIENDS AND KIDS AND PLAYERS AND OUR ASSISTANT COACHES HAD A FANTASTIC TIME.

WE'LL CALL A COUPLE OF THEM OUT WHEN THEY COME UP HERE.

BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO JUMP INTO OUR 13 TEAM, WHICH ACTUALLY WENT TO ALL STAR VILLAGE AND HAD A FANTASTIC TIME, WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND ACTUALLY LOST IN A REAL SCREAMER.

WE WERE ACTUALLY UP 4 TO 2 INTO THE FOURTH OR FIFTH INNING, ENDED UP LOSING A 5 TO 4 IN THE 13 YOU CHAMPIONSHIP AT ALL STAR VILLAGE.

SO WHY DON'T WE DO? ABSOLUTELY. SO I'M GOING TO READ THE NAMES OF THE PLAYERS IF YOU GUYS WANT TO COME JOIN COACH.

SO FIRST OFF, WE HAVE JORDAN CALVERT, ALIXANDRIA CICCONE, COLTON CLERC, SAM DAHLKE, BRADYN DIRMAN, CONNOR GERRITY.

DANE HART.

JACKSON HILL.

ANDREW HUFFMAN.

DANTE MACHADO.

IANMARCO MARTINEZ.

GRANT PATTON.

WILL STRZINEK.

THOMAS VINCENT AND LANDON WARCHOL.

Y'ALL COME ON DOWN.

[00:15:06]

EXCELLENT. I WOULD LIKE TO CALL DOWN OUR OTHER COACHES, COACH HUFFMAN, IF HE COULD COME ON DOWN.

SHOOT THAT'S ME. [LAUGHTER]. AND MR. GARRITY. I SEE MR. GARRITTY HERE, SO I WANT TO CALL KEVIN.

AND, OF COURSE, MR. SLOCUM, WOULD YOU MIND? COME OVER. OKAY.

SO JUST A LITTLE QUICK FUNNY STORY, IF I COULD.

THAT IS THE HOTEL, BY THE WAY, WHERE ALL OF THE FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE HALL OF FAMERS OR LOVE THE HALL OF FAME, LOVE BASEBALL, THAT'S WHERE THEY ALL STAY.

THAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW WHEN IT'S GORGEOUS AND BLEW OUT.

SO WE HAD A FANTASTIC DAY, AN AFTERNOON THAT DAY.

I'LL COMPARE AND CONTRAST THAT WITH OUR 12 TEAM WHO ACTUALLY WE HAD A SIMILAR EVENT LINED UP.

WE HAD THE LONGEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED IN.

I THINK IT WAS FIVE AND A HALF HOURS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THE GUYS WILL ATTEST TO THAT.

WE HAD A COUPLE HOUR RAIN DELAY.

WE GOT HERE AT ABOUT 10:30 OR 11:00 AT NIGHT.

EVERYTHING WAS REALLY WET, BUT THEY STILL HAD FOOD FOR US AND IT WAS STILL A WONDERFUL EVENT BECAUSE IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE WITH, RIGHT? AND THE EXPERIENCES THAT YOU'RE HAVING, YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE BLUE SKY.

SO, AGAIN, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

SO, COACH.

ABSOLUTELY. SO ACTUALLY, ALL THE COUNCIL, I THINK WOULD COME DOWN AND TAKE A PICTURE THIS DRAGGING YOU 13U TEAM PLACED IN SECOND IN THE COOPERSTOWN ALL STAR VILLAGE TOURNAMENT.

SO CONGRATULATIONS LADIES GENTLEMEN.

[APPLAUSE]. GREAT JOB.

[INAUDIBLE], [APPLAUSE].

SO AFTER AFTER 11 GAMES IN LESS THAN A HANDFUL OF GAMES OR A HANDFUL OF DAYS, WE ACTUALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE 15 SETS OF PARENTS COMING IN FOR KIND OF A WE'LL CALL IT WEEK TWO.

AND IT WAS REALLY EXCITING BECAUSE THIS ONE WAS AT COOPERSTOWN DREAMS PARK.

COOPERSTOWN DREAMS PARK IS ONLY FOR 12U FOLKS.

SO THE 13U TEAMS THAT ALL STAR GOES DOING WITH BAT, LIKE WE JUST SPOKE ABOUT AND ABOUT 80, 85 TEAMS THAT ARE IN COOPERSTOWN DREAMS PARK THIS PARTICULAR WEEK AND A COUPLE OF YOU GUYS KNOW ME.

I NORMALLY I LIKE TO SAY I'M USUALLY NOT WRONG.

THESE GUYS PROVE ME WRONG.

WHAT I SET THE EXPECTATIONS ABOUT WITH EVERY TEAM THAT GOES THERE, BECAUSE EVERYONE'S GOT A GREAT TEAM.

EVERYONE'S GOT A GREAT TEAM. YOU GUYS KNOW THAT? WHAT I SAID, LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN, UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.

GUYS, YOU HEARD THAT FROM ME A LOT OF TIMES.

I SAID, REMEMBER, ESSENTIALLY EVERYONE'S LAST GAME AT DREAMS PARK OR ANY TOURNAMENT IS A LOSS BECAUSE YOU'RE PLAYING SINGLE ELIMINATION.

WELL, THROUGHOUT THE WEEK THEY SAID, OH, WE'RE GOING TO PROVE COACH WRONG, WE THINK THIS WEEK.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW WHAT? AMAZINGLY, THEY ABSOLUTELY DID.

SO THESE GUYS ACTUALLY WENT ON A WINNING SPREE ON WEDNESDAY, A COUPLE OF GAMES, AND THEY WON FOUR GAMES IN A ROW.

THE STORY ON THIS ONE REALLY WAS THAT THE TEAM THAT WE PLAYED IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HAD LITERALLY MERCY TO EVERY SINGLE TEAM IN NINE GAMES.

THEY HAD AVERAGED 22 RUNS A GAME, THEY HAD LET UP 11 RUNS OVER EVERY GAME THAT THEY'VE PLAYED UP TO THAT IT WAS LIKE NINE OR TEN GAMES THAT THEY PLAYED. WE SCORED 11 RUNS ON THEM IN THIS ONE GAME.

SO, YOU KNOW, JUST CREDIT TO THESE KIDS.

THEY CAME TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO CALL OUT THE NAMES, I'M SURE, IN A SECOND, SO I WON'T DO THAT.

BUT JUST A REALLY UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.

[00:20:01]

I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BRING BOTH THESE TROPHIES HOME WITH THE SOUTHLAKE DRAGON DREAM NAME ON IT AND, VERY PROUD OF THAT.

SO WITH THAT, YES, SIR.

SO MISS STACEY BLACK IS GOING TO HAVE THOSE PROBABLY IN THE FOYER ONCE WE'RE DONE.

SO DON'T LEAVE WITHOUT YOURS.

SO A PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

WHEREAS EVERY YEAR SINCE 2013, THE SOUTHLAKE DRAGON DREAMERS PROGRAM, LED BY COACH DAVID CICCONE AND HIS WIFE MICHELLE CICCONE, ORGANIZED ONE OR MORE TEAMS OF BASEBALL PLAYERS FROM SOUTHLAKE AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS TO PLAY AT SUMMER TOURNAMENTS AT COOPERSTOWN DREAMS PARK AND COOPERSTOWN ALL-STAR VILLAGE, WHERE THE PLAYERS AND FAMILIES ENJOY A WEEK OF GREAT BASEBALL, BEAUTIFUL WEATHER AND IDYLLIC SURROUNDINGS IN UPSTATE NEW YORK.

AND. WHEREAS, EVERY YEAR, THE SOUTHLAKE DRAGON DREAMERS PARTNER WITH PLAYERS FROM THE MIRACLE LEAGUE OF SOUTHLAKE AND BRING THOSE PLAYERS TO COOPERSTOWN AS ASSISTANT COACHES OF THE SOUTHLAKE DRAGON DREAMERS.

AND. WHEREAS, THIS YEAR, COACH CICCONE LED TWO TEAMS OF SOUTHLAKE DRAGON DREAMERS TO COOPERSTOWN, A TEAM OF 12U PLAYERS WHO PLAYED AT COOPERSTOWN DREAMS PARK, AND A TEAM OF 13U NEW PLAYERS WHO PLAYED IN COOPERSTOWN ALL-STAR VILLAGE.

AND. WHEREAS, THE 13U DRAGON DREAMERS ENTERED BRACKET PLAY AS THE FIFTH SEED AND PLACED SECOND IN THE COOPERSTOWN ALL-STAR VILLAGE WOOD BAT TOURNAMENT AND THE 12U SOUTHLAKE DRAGON DREAMERS ENTER BRACKET PLAY AS THE 28TH SEED AND WON THE ENTIRE TOURNAMENT.

WHEREAS, THROUGH THEIR SUCCESS IN THE FIELD AND THEIR VOLUNTEERISM WITH THE MIRACLE LEAGUE OF SOUTHLAKE, THE SOUTHLAKE DRAGON DREAMERS BRING HONOR TO OUR CITY AND TO THEIR FAMILIES IN HOW THEY CONDUCT THEMSELVES ON AND OFF THE FIELD.

AND. WHEREAS, WE ARE PLEASED TO EXTEND THIS EXPRESSION OF OUR PRIDE IN YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND OUR APPRECIATION FOR THE FINE RECORD YOU HAVE EARNED FOR YOUR TEAM, YOUR COACHES, AND THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, MAYOR JOHN HUFFMAN, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM AUGUST 16, 2022 AS SOUTH LAKE DRAGON DREAMERS DAY IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

WELL, GUYS, I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING DOWN TO OUR COUNCIL.

I PROMISE YOU, THIS WILL BE THE MOST FUN THING WE DO TONIGHT.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY AND HANG OUT, THOUGH.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO LEAVE, BUT IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING DOWN.

THANK YOU. PARENTS, ONCE AGAIN, REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

AND CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN ON ALL YOUR SUCCESS.

THANKS, GUYS.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE REST OF OUR SESSION.

AND SHANA, WE HAVE NO CITY MANAGERS REPORT TONIGHT.

CORRECT. ALL RIGHT.

THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

SO WE PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED THIS CONSENT AGENDA, BUT I BELIEVE COUNCILMEMBER ROBBINS HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WAS IT 4G, 40? MAYBE SHAREN CAN TAKE THIS ONE.

THE TAX ABATEMENT ZONE? YES.

ALLISON ORTOWSKI.

WILL HELP PRESENT THIS ONE.

I THINK SHE MAY BE IN THE LOBBY.

WE CAN START THE PRESENTATION.

THIS ITEM IS TO SEEK APPROVAL ON FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH A REINVESTMENT ZONE WHOSE BOUNDARIES ARE SET TO ENCOMPASS THE COMMERCIAL PORTION OF THE CAROLINE PARK TRACK.

AND IT'S A NECESSARY ITEM THAT WE NEED TO TAKE IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH CAROLINE PARK DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS LP.

AND IT INCLUDES A PROVISION THAT IDENTIFIES THE TEN YEAR ABATEMENT OF AD VALOREM AND BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES AS AN ELIGIBLE INCENTIVE.

SO ARE THERE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ANSWER FOR YOU?

[00:30:02]

I THINK YOU WERE JUST GOING TO DO A SMALL, QUICK PRESENTATION.

SO THE ACTION WE ARE REQUESTING TONIGHT IS TO APPROVE THIS ORDINANCE ON FIRST READING.

IT WILL COME BACK TO COUNCIL AT THE NEXT MEETING FOR SECOND READING IN PUBLIC HEARING.

THE REINVESTMENT ZONE IS A REQUIREMENT TO ESTABLISH A TAX ABATEMENT AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE WITH THE CAROLINE PARK DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS. TAX ABATEMENT ESTABLISHMENT IS GOVERNED BY CHAPTER 312 OF THE TEXAS TAX CODE, AND IT PRESCRIBES STEPS THAT A GOVERNING BODY MUST TAKE IN ORDER TO LATER GRANT A TAX ABATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

CAN SEE HERE THAT THE REINVESTMENT ZONE THAT'S PROPOSED IS ESSENTIALLY THE COMMERCIAL PORTION OF THE CAROLINE PARK DEVELOPMENT OUTLINED BY THE RED BOUNDING BOX SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN.

THIS MAP IS INCLUDED AS EXHIBIT A TO THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.

THIS ITEM SUPPORTS THE CITY'S STRATEGY MAP THROUGH THE ITEMS OF ATTRACT TO KEEP TOP TIER BUSINESSES AND ALSO OPTIMIZING THE CITY'S COMMERCIAL TAX BASE.

THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF SUPPORTS SEVERAL ELEMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATED TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN SOUTHLAKE 2030 VISION GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND THE URBAN DESIGN STATE HIGHWAY 114 CORRIDOR PLAN.

THE ORDINANCE HAS BEEN DRAFTED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED IN CHAPTER 312 OF THE TAX CODE.

THE CREATION OF THE ZONE DOES NOT OBLIGATE THE CITY IN ANY WAY, DOES NOT PROVIDE DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS TO THE CITY.

IT JUST SIMPLY IS A PROCEDURAL ACT THAT MUST OCCUR PRIOR TO THE CITY GRANTING TAX ABATEMENT.

I'M HAPPY TO. TO BE CLEAR, THIS DOESN'T GRANT THE DEVELOPER ANY ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OR ANYTHING.

THAT'S CORRECT. THIS IS JUST KIND OF A PRO FORMA THING WE HAVE TO DO.

YEAH. THE TAX CODE REQUIRES THAT THE CITY ESTABLISH A REINVESTMENT ZONE AND ESSENTIALLY MAKE A FINDING THAT THIS AREA IS ELIGIBLE FOR REINVESTMENT UNDER THE TERMS OF THE TAX CODE. IS THIS A NEW THING REQUIRED? IT IS NOT. WE HAD TO TAKE THE SAME STEPS TO ESTABLISH THE REINVESTMENT ZONE RELATED TO THE TD AMERITRADE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE LATER GRANTED A TAX ABATEMENT TO.

SAME THING WAS DONE FOR TOWN SQUARE, I THINK, TOO, WASN'T IT? NO, WE DID NOT DO A TAX ABATEMENT IN TOWN SQUARE.

AND IT WAS. BUT YOU SET UP THIS SAME TYPE OF ZONE AROUND TOWN SQUARE.

TOWN SQUARE IS ACTUALLY A TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE.

IT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL, TAX INCREMENT, REINVESTMENT ZONE.

I KNOW THE TERMINOLOGY OVERLAPS, BUT THIS IS A REINVESTMENT ZONE UNDER TAX ABATEMENT.

YEAH. TO ME, THE BIGGEST THING WAS I JUST THINK THAT BECAUSE I THINK SOME CITIZENS MIGHT, YOU KNOW, WOULD WOULDN'T THEY SEE THIS WOULD CONSIDER THIS A DONE DEAL? BUT I THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS KNOWING THAT THIS DOESN'T TIES TO ANYTHING.

THE MOU HASN'T BEEN FINALIZED, HADN'T BEEN PRESENTED YET OR ANYTHING.

SO THERE'S LOTS OF STEPS TO GET THERE.

THIS IS JUST A PIECE THAT HAS TO BE DONE, THIS A PROCEDURAL STUFF ONLY.

OK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING ANYTHING ELSE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, I WILL TAKE A MOTION.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEMS FOUR A THROUGH FOUR E OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

NOTING THE FOLLOWING WITH REGARDS TO ITEM FOUR RD APPROVING ORDINANCE NUMBER 1262 FIRST READING AND THIS IS AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING TAX ABATEMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER TWO WHOSE BOUNDARIES ARE SET TO ENCOMPASS THE COMMERCIAL PORTION OF THE CAROLINE PARK SITE.

AS IT RELATES TO ITEM FOUR E SIGNED VARIANCE FOR SOUTHLAKE PROFESSIONAL PLAZA, WE'RE APPROVING THE VARIANCE PER THE SIGNED BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION AND THAT'S IT.

THERE'S A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. GET YOUR VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. CONSENT AGENDA PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

WITHOUT MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS A PUBLIC FORUM.

[5. Public Forum]

SO THE PUBLIC FORUM IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS COUNCIL ABOUT ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK WITH IN PUBLIC FORUM, THERE'S COMMENT CARDS IN THE BACK.

I DO HAVE ONE COMMENT CARD.

JUST REMIND EVERYONE TO THAT.

WE HAVE A THREE MINUTE LIMIT IN PUBLIC FORUM.

SO WHEN YOU COME UP, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

FOR THE RECORD, THE LIGHTS WILL GO ON.

GREEN LIGHT MEANS YOU'VE STARTED.

YELLOW LIGHT MEANS YOU GOT ONE MINUTE LEFT AND RED LIGHT MEANS THAT THE MICS ARE ABOUT TO GET CUT.

SO JUST REMEMBER TO MAKE ALL YOUR COMMENTS TOWARDS COUNCIL AND WE'RE HAPPY TO HEAR ANYTHING THE PUBLIC HAS TO SAY.

SO WITH THE FIRST COMMENT, WE HAVE COLLEEN GHOLSTAN FROM 708 BRYCE AND WAY.

IS COLLEEN HERE? GOOD EVENING, MA'AM.

COME ON DOWN TO JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

RIGHT THERE. YES, MA'AM. COLLEEN GHOLSTAN 7708 RICE AND WAY SOUTH LAKE, TEXAS.

[00:35:02]

SO WELL. I'VE LIVED IN SOUTH LAKE 22 YEARS.

I'M SORRY, MA'AM. WE JUST SPEAKING TO THE MICROPHONE SO THE TV CAN PICK YOU UP.

THANK YOU. MY NAME IS COLLEEN GHOLSTAN.

I'VE LIVED IN SOUTH LAKE 22 YEARS.

I'M THE MOM OF THREE CAROL GRADUATES.

I HAVE NOT BEEN FOCUSED MUCH ON SOUTHLAKE OR CAROL BELIEVING ALL WAS WELL.

THE LAST CAROL SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION GRABBED MY ATTENTION.

I REALIZED THAT NOT WAS ALL WAS NOT WELL IN THE COMMUNITY AND THAT DIVISIVENESS WAS HARMING THE COMMUNITY.

IT HAS SADDENED ME.

I AM THE PARENT OF A TRANSGENDER ADULT.

I HAVE BEEN HORRIFIED TO LEARN THAT CITIZENS IN THIS COMMUNITY CALL PEOPLE LIKE ME, A GROOMER, AND MY CHILD A PEDOPHILE.

THIS IS EXTREMELY HURTFUL AND UNTRUE.

WE HAVE NEVER HARMED THIS COMMUNITY.

THE CAROL SCHOOL BOARD RECENTLY ATTEMPTED TO STRIKE GENDER AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION FROM ITS NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT IN THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT BOOKS WITH REFERENCES TO LGBTQ+ EXISTENCE ARE BEING REMOVED FROM SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

I NOW FEEL THAT THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND CAROL ISD ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF MY FAMILY OR FAMILIES LIKE MINE, OTHER ESPECIALLY OTHER SOUTHLAKE FAMILIES WITH LGBTQ+ MEMBERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH MINORS THAT ARE STILL IN SCHOOL. THERE IS AN ATTEMPT BY SOME TO MAKE US FEEL UNWELCOME.

NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF THE AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S A THREAT.

SO I AM DETERMINED TO ENSURE THAT ALL SUCH FAMILIES AND ESPECIALLY ALL CHILDREN, ARE SAFE IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND ITS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

I MUST BE CONVINCED THEY ARE SAFE AS RESIDENTS AND TAXPAYERS.

OUR CITY AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS MUST ASSURE US OUR SAFETY AND BELONGING.

MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND THEIR FAMILIES EXIST IN SOUTH LAKE.

THEY ALWAYS HAVE AND THEY ALWAYS WILL.

WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED.

WE WILL NOT BE ERASED.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC FORM.

SEEING NONE. WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC FORUM AND MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX A, WHICH IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1228?

[6. A. Ordinance No. 1228A, 2nd Reading, an ordinance amending Article V, "Boards, Commissions and Committees," of Chapter 2, "Administration;" and Article XII, "Building Board of Appeals," of Chapter 4.5, "Buildings and Building Regulations;" and Division 2, "Park and Recreation Board," of Article III, "Boards," of Chapter 12, "Parks and Recreation," of the Southlake Code of Ordinances. PUBLIC HEARING ]

A SECOND READING, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE FIVES, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES OF CHAPTER TWO, ADMINISTRATION AND ARTICLE 12, ETC..

DR. BAKER. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

THIS IS THE SECOND READING ON ORDINANCE 1228 A.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE IS TO PROVIDE CLARIFICATION IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS.

PROVIDE LANGUAGE WHICH EXEMPTS THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION FROM THE TERM LIMIT REQUIREMENTS.

PROVIDE A SPECIFIC LIST OF BOARDS IN WHICH THE COUNCIL WILL APPOINT A CHAIRPERSON.

PROVIDE LANGUAGE THAT INDICATES THE COUNCIL WILL APPOINT THE VICE CHAIRPERSON ONLY FOR THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE, PROVIDE LANGUAGE THAT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, MEMBERS OF THE VARIOUS BOARDS, NOT THE CITY COUNCIL, SHALL SELECT ITS VICE CHAIRPERSON BY A MAJORITY VOTE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE COUNCIL APPOINTMENT OF A CHAIR, OR WHEN THAT SEAT BECOMES VACANT, AND THEN ELIMINATE ANY CONFLICTING ORDINANCE LANGUAGE IN YOUR CODE.

SO THIS QUICKLY YOU JUST SUMMARIZE PROPOSED CHANGES.

THE FIRST ONE HERE IS THE TERMS OF OFFICE.

THERE IS A EXCEPTION FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

IT IS BELIEVED DUE TO THE COMPLEX AND NATURE OF SOME OF THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION APPLICATIONS, THE MANY LAWS THAT IMPACT THE FUNCTION OF THAT BOARD AND THE HIGH PROFILE NATURE OF THE COMMISSION, THAT IT'S IN CITIZENS INTEREST, THAT IN DEVELOPMENT AND CONFERENCE OF PLANNING, THAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE BETTER SERVED BY ALLOWING THAT BOARD TO.

[00:40:01]

EXTEND PAST THE SIX YEAR TERM LIMITS APPOINTMENTS OF THE CHAIRPERSON UNLESS THERE'S LANGUAGE IN THERE, UNLESS PREEMPTED BY CITY CHARTER OR STATE LAW.

THE CITY COUNCIL TO NAME THE CHAIR.

THEY WILL ALSO NAME THE VICE CHAIR FOR THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT PER THE ZONING LANGUAGE AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, AS DISCUSSED THAT THE BOARDS THEMSELVES WILL ELECT THEIR VICE CHAIR BY MAJORITY VOTE, AND THAT WILL BE AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE MEETING FOLLOWING THE APPOINTMENT OF THE CHAIRPERSON BY THE CITY COUNCIL, OR IF A VACANCY EXISTS.

THE APPOINTMENTS BY COUNCIL WILL APPLY TO THE BOARDS ON THIS SLIDE.

I WON'T READ THEM, BUT YOU CAN SEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SLIDE THESE ARE THE THE BOARDS THAT WERE THE APPOINTMENTS WOULD OCCUR NOT INCLUDED OF THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION BECAUSE THE CHARTER, THE COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND THE CRIME CONTROL PREVENTION DISTRICT.

BUT PER STATE LAW WOULD NOT APPOINT THE CHAIR FOR THE SOUTH LAKE YOUTH ACTION COMMISSION OR THE COURT OR PLANNING COMMITTEE.

AND THEN THERE'S WE'VE REMOVED ANY CONFLICTING CODE PROVISIONS FOR THESE BOARDS THAT HAVE BEEN WHERE THEIR BOARD CREATION HAS BEEN CODIFIED IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES. AND THERE'S LANGUAGE IN THIS ORDINANCE THAT REMOVES ANY OF THE CONFLICTING CODE PROVISIONS.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR BAKER. ANY QUESTIONS FROM STAFF GUYS? SEEMS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. SO BIG CHANGES P AND Z IS EXEMPTED FROM THE TERM LIMITS AT THIS POINT.

OKAY, EXCELLENT. WELL, THERE'S NO QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM FOR ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM SIX A.

SEEING NONE, I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COUNCIL.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? YEAH, I JUST I YES, I'M IN FAVOR OF EVERYTHING ON SIX A EXCEPT I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE TERM LIMITS FOR P AND Z.

I UNDERSTAND FROM TALKING WITH THOSE OF YOU AND OTHER FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN ON P AND Z THAT ARE ON P AND Z, HOW COMPLEX IT IS AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO OUR CITY.

I'M JUST NOT SURE ABOUT LEAVING IT OPEN ENDED.

WE DON'T WE DIDN'T LEAVE IT OPEN ENDED FOR OURSELVES WHEN SOME OF YOU WHO WERE ON THE COUNCIL VOTED FOR TERM LIMITS.

SO I GUESS I'D BE INTERESTED TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT.

I JUST FEEL LIKE WE HAVE I THINK WE HAVE ONE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSIONER WHO'S COMING UP ON 20 YEARS OF SERVICE AND ONE POSITION WHICH THAT PERSON HAS SERVED.

THAT'S HUGE DEDICATION TO OUR CITY, BUT IT'S ALSO, AS AN EXAMPLE, 20 YEARS THAT SOMEONE ELSE CAN'T SERVE IN THAT SPOT.

SO I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.

I GUESS I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS.

AND MY ONLY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT PERHAPS WE GIVE PLANNING AND ZONING AN EXTRA TERM VERSUS LEAVING IT OPEN ENDED.

SO BUT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT.

P AND Z COMMISSIONERS.

FORMER P AND Z COMMISSIONERS.

I'LL CHIME IN. I SERVED ON PLANNING AND ZONING AND COMING FROM A TITLE INSURANCE BACKGROUND, I WAS ABLE TO JUMP RIGHT IN.

HOWEVER, IT IS ABSOLUTELY A LEARNING CURVE AND IT TAKES THEM THREE YEARS TO ALMOST EVEN GET THEIR FEET WET.

THERE ARE SOME REALLY LONG TENURED VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE DEDICATED A NUMBER OF YEARS, AND AS A FELLOW COMMISSIONER WHO WAS NEWER ON THE COMMISSION, THEIR INSIGHT ON THINGS THAT HAD COME THROUGH IN PRIOR YEARS, THEY REMEMBERED, YES, THIS HAS COME THROUGH THREE DIFFERENT TIMES.

HERE'S WHAT WE DID THE LAST FEW TIMES.

AND IT'S REALLY CRITICAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, IN MY OPINION, TO HAVE THAT HISTORY SOMETIMES.

AND IT HELPED US TREMENDOUSLY IN THE DEBATE AND THE RHETORIC AND WHAT WE DECIDED ON.

SO I WHILE I UNDERSTAND IT'S TOUGH TO JUST LEAVE IT OPEN ENDED, IT'S ALSO UP TO COUNCIL TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE QUALITY PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE SERVING, THAT THEY'RE SHOWING UP, THAT THEY'RE CONTRIBUTING, THAT THEY'RE STILL AN ACTIVE, VIABLE MEMBER.

AND WE DON'T HAVE TO REAPPOINT ANYBODY JUST BECAUSE THERE'S THIS GRANDFATHERED.

WE ASSUME THAT THEY THEY STILL HAVE TO REAPPLY.

THEY STILL HAVE TO WANT TO REAPPLY.

AND WE STILL, AS A COUNCIL, GET TO MAKE THAT DECISION WHETHER WE FEEL THAT WE WANT THEM ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

SO THAT'S THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT IT.

I WAS NOT IN FAVOR OF TERM LIMITS FOR P AND Z WHEN THAT WAS SWITCHED A FEW YEARS AGO.

BUT SO I'M ACTUALLY HAPPY TO SEE THAT PLANNING AND ZONING AS THE RECOMMENDING BODY TO COUNCIL CAN SOMEWHAT HAVE SOME CONSISTENCY.

AND THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE SPOTS THAT OPEN UP FOR THE FOLKS THAT WANT TO GET IN.

THERE'S THE SPOT I MOVED OFF AND AUSTIN REYNOLDS CAME IN.

SO THERE'S PEOPLE WHO MOVE AWAY OR RETIRE OR DECIDE NOT TO PARTICIPATE.

[00:45:04]

BUT IT IS A LEARNING CURVE.

AND YOU REALLY DO WANT THE PEOPLE IN THERE, IN MY OPINION, THAT ARE DEDICATED AND HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND CAN HELP IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS.

AS ANOTHER FELLOW P AND Z ALUM.

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT AMY JUST SAID.

I THINK FROM MY EXPERIENCE ON P AND Z AND THEN COMING TO COUNCIL, SO MUCH OF WHAT COUNCIL GETS, I THINK LIKE 70% OF WHAT WE SEE HAS COME THROUGH P AND Z.

SO HAVING THAT WISDOM, THAT EXPERIENCE THERE, I THINK MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR US.

I THINK HAVING A GREAT P AND Z LIKE WE'VE HAD FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE'VE HAD SOME TOUGH CASES THAT P AND Z HAS REALLY WORKED OVER PRETTY GOOD.

AND BY THE TIME THEY GOT TO US, THEY'RE REALLY GOOD SHAPE.

AND I THINK THAT'S HELPED US BE MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE EFFECTIVE.

SO I'M IN FAVOR OF THE CHANGE TO EXEMPT P AND Z FROM THE TERM LIMITS.

AS AMY POINTED OUT, WE CAN ENFORCE A TERM LIMIT WHENEVER WE WANT, ESPECIALLY AT RE-APPOINTMENT TIME, AND WE TAKE THOSE ONE AT A TIME, AS WE ALWAYS DO. BUT I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINANCE.

YEAH. ALSO FORMER P AND Z MEMBER, I'LL BE VOTING IN SUPPORT OF THIS AS WELL.

I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT KATHY IS SAYING.

I APPRECIATE THAT. THOSE COMMENTS, WHAT I WOULD JUST SIMPLY SAY IS I THINK IT'S INCUMBENT ON THIS COUNCIL AND FUTURE COUNCILS TO HOLD THE P AND Z COMMISSIONERS AND THE COMMISSION TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD.

YOU KNOW, WE HOLD ALL OF OUR GROUPS AND COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS TO HIGH STANDARDS, BUT P AND Z, I THINK WE CAN HOLD TO AN EVEN HIGHER STANDARD.

AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, TO BE AT MEETINGS AND THEN CONTRIBUTION.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF WE FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY PERHAPS IT'S NOT A GREAT FIT.

YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO MAKE THAT DECISION, YOU KNOW? SO I AGREE.

I THINK WE CAN MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.

WE JUST HAVE TO BE WILLING TO DO THAT.

BUT THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB AND I THINK WE'RE OKAY MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS.

I AGREE. I WAS NOT ON PLANNING AND ZONING, ALTHOUGH I SERVED ON THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT FOR FOUR YEARS AND I THINK IT WAS COUNCILWOMAN LEPP WHO SAID SHE WAS NEVER IN FAVOR OF THE CHANGES TO THE TERM LIMITS.

I WAS NEVER IN FAVOR WITH EITHER, YOU KNOW, LOSING SOMEONE LIKE TRICLER OR KUBIAK WHO DOES A GREAT JOB.

I THINK THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO THE QUALITY OF THE CASES THAT WE GET HERE ON COUNCIL.

I WOULD I KNOW YOU HAVE TO WEIGH THE RISK OF SHUNNING, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, PEOPLE WHO STEPPED UP TO VOLUNTEER AGAINST LOSING REALLY GOOD PEOPLE LIKE KUBIAK AND TRYCLER.

I'M JUST MENTIONING THOSE NAMES BECAUSE I KNOW KUBIAK DECENTLY WELL AND I SERVED WITH TRYCLER ON ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO LOSE PEOPLE LIKE THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME.

THAT TO ME IS A TESTAMENT TO THEIR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE.

AND I THINK, YES, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE OPENINGS FOR US TO BRING NEW PEOPLE ALONG.

BUT I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF LOSING PEOPLE LIKE THAT, I DON'T THINK.

I MEAN, I WASN'T ON P AND Z, OBVIOUSLY, BUT I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S QUESTIONING THE QUALITY OF P AND Z OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL.

I PERSONALLY STRUGGLE WITH THE LACK OF TERM LIMITS ACROSS THE BOARD.

I THINK IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS.

IF YOU COULD IMPLEMENT TERM LIMITS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IT WOULD BE A GREAT THING.

AND I THINK ALL THINGS START AT THE CITY LEVEL AND AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.

IS THERE ANY OPTION TO DO IF WE FEEL LIKE SIX YEARS IS TOO SHORT, IS THERE ANY OPTION TO GO EIGHT, TEN, 12, SOMETHING THAT STILL LIMITS US SO THAT WE DO GET ALMOST FORCE TURNOVER AND KIND OF GET THE OPTION TO STEP UP OTHER PEOPLE TO STEP UP AND LEAD WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE THIS OPEN ENDED.

AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE PERSON THAT'S BEEN THERE 20 YEARS, I KNOW WHO IT IS.

THEY MAY DO A PHENOMENAL JOB.

BUT I DO THINK THAT NEW BLOOD I MEAN, IF WE CAN TURN OVER A COUNCIL EVERY SIX YEARS, I MEAN, I STRUGGLE WITH P AND Z BEING, YOU KNOW, IRREPARABLE IF WE DON'T TURN IT OVER.

SO THAT'S MY STRUGGLE WITH REMOVING TERM LIMITS FROM BASICALLY ANYTHING AT THIS POINT.

YEAH. I MEAN, ALL GOOD COMMENTS, I THINK ALL GOOD PERSPECTIVES.

I THINK WHERE I AM AT THIS POINT IN TIME, YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS TRYING TO THINK OF THE ABSTRACT, BUT ALSO IN THE SPECIFIC.

AND AT THIS POINT WE FIRST HAVE AN AMAZING P AND Z AND SECOND, YOU KNOW, HAVE A NEED FOR LONGEVITY AND CONSISTENCY IN THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAD TO TURN OVER VOLUNTEERS BEFORE SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL AND WE HAD TO DO IT ON P AND Z, A COUPLE OF MEMBERS.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT IT'S NOT FUN.

I DO THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE AS A COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE ALL THE VOLUNTEERS UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALL I MEAN, WE ALL SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF THE PUBLIC, OBVIOUSLY, AT THE TAXPAYERS.

THE REALITY IS NONE OF US ARE ENTITLED TO THESE SEATS, COUNCIL OR VOLUNTEER, VOLUNTEER FOLKS AT THE BOARDS OF COMMISSION.

SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME, FOR THIS MOMENT IN SOUTH LAKE, I THINK IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT THAT WE MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY ON AN EXCELLENT P AND Z.

[00:50:06]

SO I'LL BE VOTING IN FAVOR OF THIS, BUT I THINK Y'ALL'S COMMENTS AND PERSPECTIVES ARE WELL CONSIDERED FOR SURE.

WELL, I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY WEIGHING IN.

TO BE CLEAR, I THINK WE HAVE A FANTASTIC P AND Z.

OF COURSE, I'M REALLY SPEAKING TO THE LONGEVITY AND OFFERING OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO WANT TO STEP UP AND SERVE.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE ANY DATA, SO BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TURNOVER IN P AND Z.

THOSE FOLKS ARE FANTASTIC.

SO, YOU KNOW, ALSO WANT THEM THERE.

SO I JUST IT'S REALLY THE OPEN ENDED TERM LIMIT PIECE THAT I STRUGGLE WITH.

OTHER THAN THAT, I MEAN, AND I HAD SAID THE SAME THING, IS THERE A WAY TO GIVE THEM LONGER BUT STILL AT SOME POINT HAVE AN ENDING? SO BUT IF YOU GUYS WOULD PREFER IT, THEN OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE WAY TO GO.

IT'S GOING TO GO. WELL, I WILL SAY, TOO, THOUGH, I THINK IF WE LOOK BACK, I'M JUST DOING IT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD HERE.

BUT IF WE LOOK BACK, I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN REASONABLE TURNOVER ON P AND Z FOR THE LAST DECADE.

I MEAN, THERE'S GENERALLY MOVEMENT.

SO THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES.

IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S LOCKED DOWN AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A CHANGE, YOU KNOW, IN FIVE YEARS OR SIX YEARS THERE'S MOVEMENT.

SO I THINK I WOULD ALIGN IF THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT EVER.

I DO THINK THAT'S WHEN YOU NEED TO START LOOKING AT THE AD BOOK.

BUT THE NATURAL EVOLUTION OF THE PROCESS SEEMS LIKE THERE'S BEEN OPENINGS.

SO YEAH. GOOD DISCUSSION.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS AT THIS POINT? NO, I'LL JUST FINISH WITH I'M IT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU I'M GOING TO VOTE YES, BUT I'M FOR EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS.

I GUESS I ALMOST WISH THOSE TWO THE OTHER ITEMS IN THIS HAVE BEEN SEPARATED, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE ON HERE EXEMPLIFIES ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE TO GET ALL OF THESE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ALIGNED AND SITUATED THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE.

AND I YOU KNOW, WE ALL APPRECIATE THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WORK THAT STAFFS DONE.

SO. YEAH, EXCELLENT.

OKAY. I THINK WE ALREADY HAD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

SO IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, I'LL TAKE A MOTION.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX A ORDINANCE NUMBER 1228.

[6. C. Ordinance No. 1261, 2nd Reading, an ordinance amending Chapter 18, Section 18-79 of the Southlake Code of Ordinances establishing a new speed limit on a portion of North White Chapel between Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709) and State Highway 114 to 35 miles per hour. PUBLIC HEARING ]

NEXT UP IS ITEM SIX C, OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1261 SECOND READING.

DIRECTOR COHEN WILL BE PRESENTING.

YES, SIR. GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

SO I'LL BE PRESENTING ITEM SIX C TONIGHT, THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS BASICALLY TO REVISE OR AMEND CHAPTER 18, SECTION 1879 OF THE SOUTH LAKE CITY CODE.

IT'S INTENDED TO ESTABLISH A NEW SPEED LIMIT ON NORTH WHITE CHAPEL FROM SOUTH LAKE BOULEVARD, OR FM 1709 NORTH TO THE EASTBOUND FRONTAGE ROAD OF STATE HIGHWAY 114.

THE PROPOSED SPEED LIMIT WOULD BE 35 MILES PER HOUR.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND AS TO WHY WE'RE REQUESTING THE SPEED LIMIT TO BE REVISED.

AS YOU KNOW, WE JUST COMPLETED NORTH WIGHT CHAPEL IMPROVEMENTS.

PHASE TWO IS COMPLETED AND WE HAD THE RIBBON CUTTING LATE LAST WEEK.

THE PROJECT LIMITS WERE FROM EMERALD TO HIGHLAND.

WE WIDENED A TWO LANE RURAL ROAD TO A FOUR LANE DIVIDED ARTERIAL ROAD, AND WE ALSO REALIZED THAT THERE ARE SOME SITE DISTANT CONSTRAINTS AT SEVERAL SIDE STREETS THAT INTERSECT NORTH WHITECHAPEL.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE ON THE FAR RIGHT AS THE PROJECT LIMITS HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW WITH NORTH BEING TO THE TOP OF THE SLIDE.

THE PURPOSE AGAIN IS TO REVISE THE SPEED LIMIT TO 35 MILES PER HOUR.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE AT 40 MILES PER HOUR.

THE REVISED SPEED IS RECOMMENDED BY THE ENGINEER OF RECORD.

OUR THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT HAS ALSO ENDORSED AND SUPPORTS THIS RECOMMENDATION AS WELL.

DOING SO WILL PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT SITE DISTANCE BECAUSE OF THE SPEED REDUCTION.

AND WE'VE ALSO, AS YOU NOTICE, WE STRIPED 24 INCHES OFF OF THE CURB FACE TO KIND OF PUSH CARS FARTHER OUT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY ON THE OUTSIDE LANES TO IMPROVE SIGHT, DISTANCE AND VISIBILITY.

THIS CHANGE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MOBILITY MASTER PLAN ON THE FAR RIGHT.

IT SHOWS FOR FOUR LANE ARTERIAL WITH DIVIDED WITH THE MEDIAN.

THE SPEED LIMIT IS RECOMMENDED TO BE 35 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR.

SO THIS RECOMMENDATION IS WITHIN THE MASTER PLAN.

THIS PROPOSAL MEETS THE STRATEGY MAP OF FOCUS AREAS OF SAFETY AND SECURITY MOBILITY, AS WELL AS THE ACHIEVING THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF SAFETY AND SECURITY AND PROVIDING TRAVEL CONVENIENCE WITHIN THE CITY AND REGION.

[01:00:02]

THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.

I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR COHEN.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALL RIGHT. SO, ROB, ON THIS, WHEN WE CHANGE, WHAT DOES IT SAY RIGHT NOW? IS IT CURRENTLY, SAY, 40 OUT THERE OR IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE PAVEMENT? RIGHT NOW, IT'S 40 MILES PER HOUR BY ORDINANCE YESTERDAY.

ARE THERE SIGNS AT ALL RIGHT NOW OR NOT SINCE IT'S NEW CONSTRUCTION? WE HAVE. SO RIGHT NOW, BY ORDINANCE, IT IS.

BUT THE SIGNS, THE ONLY SIGNS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW ARE CAUTIONARY FOR 30 MILES PER HOUR FOR CONSTRUCTION AND THE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS, SHOULD IT BE APPROVED TONIGHT, ARE COVERED AND BAGGED.

AND TOMORROW, IF IT'S APPROVED, THEY WILL BE BAGGED WITH THE 35 MILE PER HOUR ZONE ESTABLISHED.

AND WHEN WOULD THEY BE INSTALLED? HOW QUICKLY THE SIGNS ARE INSTALLED NOW, SIR? OH, IT'S JUST SWITCHING OUT THE FACE.

YES, SIR. AND WE WILL HAVE SHOULD THE THE ACTION BE APPROVED, WE WILL HAVE MESSAGE BOARDS ANNOUNCING THE SPEED LIMIT CHANGE.

SO COMMUTERS AND TRAVELERS ARE AWARE OF IT PROBABLY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, UP TO A WEEK, TO NOTIFY INDIVIDUALS THAT THE SPEED LIMIT HAS INDEED CHANGED WITHIN THAT ZONE.

AND I'M GLAD CHIEF BRANDON WALKED IN.

I FIGURED HE WOULD. AND I KNOW HOW OUR POLICE HOW OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES THINGS.

BUT COULD YOU JUST SPEAK VERY QUICKLY ABOUT HOW DO WE MANAGE THROUGH THAT TRANSITION TO ALLOW PEOPLE A BIT OF GRACE ON THE ADJUSTMENT AND ALL THAT? SURE, WE WON'T ENFORCE THAT FOR A WEEK ONCE IT BECOMES OFFICIAL AND COMMUNICATION AND OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS.

AND AS DIRECTOR COHEN SAID, THE SIGNS WILL BE OUT THERE SHOWING 35 AND WE'LL HAVE OFFICERS AROUND, BUT WE WON'T WRITE ANY CITATIONS FOR THAT FOR A WEEK.

BY THE WAY, LET ME SAY JUST A SIDEBAR HERE.

SO I DROVE WHITECHAPEL TODAY AT DISMISSAL FOR CAROL.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

EVERY CAR WAS ON THE INSIDE LANE.

I LITERALLY DROVE FROM SOUTH LAKE BOULEVARD TO TO 114 WITHOUT HAVING TO TAP THE BRAKE OTHER THAN DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT.

THERE WAS NOT ONE OTHER VEHICLE IN THE WAY.

IT'S I MEAN, IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.

SO ANGELS SANG.

YES, THEY DID.

THANK YOU, HIS OFFICER.

AND WE'RE GOING TO DO A FUNNY VIDEO ABOUT THIS.

OR DO WE KNOW? WELL, IF I COMMIT HIM, THEN HE HAS TO.

I MAY TELL YOU, I DON'T THINK IT'S HARD TO TWIST HIS ARM TO MAKE VIDEOS.

GOT ONE IN THE CAN. THANK YOU.

SHOULD I FINISH IT UP.

FINISH IT UP. OK.

FANTASTIC. SO THIS ITEM SIX C IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

SEEING NO ONE. WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? ANY CONVERSATION COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. NO CONVERSATION.

IS IS THERE A MOTION? YES. MAYOR AND MAYOR, PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.

I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM SIX C ORDINANCE NUMBER 1261 SECOND READING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 18 SECTION 18 SEVEN NINE OF THE SOUTH LAKE CITY CODE ESTABLISHING A NEW SPEED LIMIT ON A PORTION OF NORTH WHITE CHAPEL BETWEEN SOUTH LAKE BOULEVARD FM 1709 AND STATE HIGHWAY ONE, 14 TO 35 MILES PER HOUR.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING SOUTH ON PARKWAY DRIVE, YOU CAN SEE THE TRAINING FACILITY, THOSE SENIOR CENTER OFF TO THE LEFT.

THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING BACK TO THE WEST AT THE END OF THE CUL DE SAC AND A COUPLE MORE PHOTOS.

THIS IS THE APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2007. THE PROOF OF CONCEPT PLAN DOES SHOW THE BUILDING OF A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED, A LITTLE BIT LESS PARKING.

BUT AN OFFICE BUILDING WAS SHOWN ON THE SITE.

THIS IS THE TREE PRESERVATION AREA THAT WILL BE PROTECTED AS PART OF THE SITE PLAN.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

THEY WILL BE UTILIZING THE EXISTING DRIVE THAT'S TO THE SOUTH OF CALLOWAY'S.

THE AREA BACK HERE WILL BE PRESERVED PER THE ADOPTED CONCEPT PLAN.

THE PARKING DOES MEET THE MEDICAL PARKING IN TERMS OF THE CODE REQUIREMENT.

AS MENTIONED, THE BUILDING WILL BE REDUCED FROM 12,000 SQUARE FEET TO 10,654 SQUARE FEET.

THE CONCEPT PLAN AT 12 K BUILDING PARKING WILL INCREASE TO MEET THE MEDICAL OFFICE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

IT WILL BE 100% MEDICAL NATURE.

THERE WILL BE A SIDEWALK ALONG PARKWOOD DRIVE.

THERE WILL BE A THREE FOOT RETAINING WALL.

THE DUMPSTER WILL BE LOCATED IN THE NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE SITE WHERE THE ARROWS INDICATED.

THIS IS A COMPARISON OF THE APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN BACK IN OH SEVEN AND THE SITE PLAN FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES FAIRLY CLOSE IN TERMS OF OPEN SPACE, BUILDING SIZE, ETC..

THESE ARE THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.

THE MATERIALS INCLUDE A METAL ROOF.

IT'S A STONE BRICK COMBINATION ON THE FACADE ARCHITECTURAL CEDAR POST ALONG THE ENTRIES TO THE OFFICES.

AS MENTIONED, THE DUMPSTER SCREENING WILL MATCH THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OF THE MASONRY ON THE BUILDING.

THIS IS A SAMPLE BOARD THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT, WHICH DETAILS THE MATERIALS THAT ARE PROPOSED.

[01:10:02]

AND THIS IS THE DUMPSTER ELEVATION WHICH WILL MATCH THE MATERIALS.

IT WILL BE METAL DOORS ON THE DUMPSTER.

THIS SHOWS THE TREE PRESERVATION PLAN.

THE NO DISTURBANCE OF THE PRESERVATION AREA WILL BE MAINTAINED.

THERE WILL BE A THREE FOOT RETAINING WALL ALONG THE SOUTH PORTION OF THE BUILDABLE AREA.

THE TREE PRESERVATION PLAN DOES MEET THE ORDINANCE.

60% OF THE TREES MUST BE PRESERVED.

66% ARE SHOWN TO BE PRESERVED.

THIS IS THE LOCATION OF RETAINING WALL AND YOU CAN SEE THE MATERIALS AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE SLIDE.

BUT THERE'LL BE A THREE FOOT RETAINING WALL ALONG THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE BUILDABLE AREA.

THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

IN ADDITION TO THE TREE, PRESERVATION WILL BE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THE SITE.

WE'VE RECEIVED ONE OPPOSITION.

THE SITE IS SHOWN IN THE LIGHT BLUE COLOR AND RECEIVED ONE OPPOSITION FORM TO THE SITE PLAN.

P AND Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

SEVEN ZERO. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? DIRECTOR BAKER WHERE AS FAR AS THE DUMPSTER LOCATION, I'M JUST LOOKING AT AN AERIAL OF THE AREA.

WILL THAT DUMPSTER BE SO FAR WEST THAT IT'S SEEN FROM THE STREET? AND I KNOW IT'S SHIELDED AND STUFF.

I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE CALLOWAY'S IS VERSUS WHERE THIS WILL BE AND IF IT IF THERE'S A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT.

YEAH. IT KIND OF DEPENDS WHERE YOU ARE, BUT IT'S A FAIRLY, RELATIVELY FLAT SITE.

THIS IS A CUL DE SAC.

THE BUILDING WILL SCREEN AS YOU GET FURTHER SOUTH ON THE PARKWAY DRIVE.

BUT AS YOU KIND OF COME IN BETWEEN THAT DRIVE AREA, BETWEEN CALLOWAY'S, AS YOU'RE GOING SOUTH, YOU PROBABLY WILL BE ABLE TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF IT THROUGH THIS AREA HERE.

IF YOU CAN SEE MY ARROW.

DIRECTOR BAKER, JUST TO CONFIRM, THERE'S NO REQUEST IN THIS APPLICATION TO CONNECT THE TWO PIECES OF PARKWOOD THAT WOULD PERHAPS GIVE THE NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH SOME SOME ISSUES.

YES, SIR, THAT IS THAT IS CORRECT.

THE PARKWOOD CURRENTLY DOES NOT CONNECT.

THERE IS RIGHT AWAY RESERVED.

THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER A CONNECTION.

BUT AT THIS TIME, GIVEN THE FINAL USE OF THAT PARKWOOD SITE PROPERTY, AT THIS TIME, THERE'S NO INTENTION. THERE'S NO STUDIES OUT THERE TO CONNECT THE TO SEGMENTS OF PARKWOOD.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU. DIRECTOR BAKER, IS THE APPLICANT HERE? COME ON DOWN AND GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

AND THEN I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION.

BUT GERALD WARD WITH WARD ARCHITECTURE 5004 THOMPSON TERRORISTS IN COLLIERVILLE.

WE MET, I THINK, WITH THE P AND Z SAYS TO ME, THERE WAS ONE GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE.

WE MET WITH HIM AFTERWARD WITH HIM AND THE HOA PRESIDENT WALKED THE SITE, SHOWED THEM, TRIED TO VISUALIZE WITH THEM, SHOW THEM WHERE THE BUILDING WOULD BE, WHERE THE PARKING WAS, WHERE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, WHAT TREES WERE GOING TO BE CUT.

AND AND SO WE HAD THAT MEETING.

I THOUGHT IT WENT WELL.

SO BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK A VERY GOOD JOB OF PRESENTING OUR CASE AND JUST I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE.

GREAT, GREAT. THANKS. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANT? OKAY. YOU CAN SIT DOWN FOR NOW.

WE MAY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS IN A LITTLE BIT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 6 E IF THERE'S ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK.

SEEING NONE. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COUNCIL IS THERE.

OH, I APOLOGIZE. YES, OK.

WE DO HAVE. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENT CARDS HERE.

COME ON DOWN, SIR. IF YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YES. GOOD EVENING.

YEVGENY SANCHO.

500 NORTHWOOD TRAIL, SOUTH LAKE, TEXAS.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT.

[01:15:04]

SO WE IN THE COMMUNITY REALLY APPRECIATE THE DEVELOPER RESPONDING TO THE ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP DURING THE SPIN MEETING HERE, PRESERVING THE TREE PRESERVATION AREA, THE NO DISTURBANCE AREA, PLANNING TO PLANT THE SHRUBBERY FOR SHELTERING THE VIEWS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT AND FOR NOT CONNECTING THE TWO PARKWOOD DRIVES.

AS WAS MENTIONED TODAY, THE NOT CONNECTING THE TWO PARKWOOD DRIVES IS A PRETTY IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IF IT COULD BE RESOLVED, THAT WOULD BE, WE THINK, BENEFICIAL.

AND IF IT'S DONE AT THIS STAGE, IT PROBABLY WOULD BE EASIER FOR THE MEDICAL BUSINESS TO PRINT THE LETTERHEADS AND EVERYTHING ELSE WITH THE NEW ADDRESS.

AND AS I'M BEING TOLD BY SOME RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS PREVIOUSLY VOTED TO RENAME THE STREET AND THAT WAS DONE JANUARY 16TH, 2001, AND TO CHANGE THE MAPS TO SHOW NO CONNECTION OF ONE PARKWOOD DRIVE TO ANOTHER PARKWOOD DRIVE.

AND THAT WAS DONE ON FEBRUARY 1ST, 2000, BY THE SOUTH LAKE CITY COUNCIL.

SO FAR, I DON'T THINK ANY ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN ON THAT.

I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE THAT WE WOULD LIKE THE DEVELOPER TO PRESERVE AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE ON THE SITE AND PRETTY MUCH THAT'S IT.

THESE ARE ALL THE COMMENTS.

SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.

AND WE DO HAVE ONE PERSON, MR. ERIC CARLE, FROM 604 NORTHBROOK COURT WHO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT RECORDED HIS SUPPORT FOR THIS ITEM.

SO ANYBODY ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ONE.

SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COUNCIL.

IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. WE READY FOR A MOTION? YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE.

ITEM 6EZA22-0028 SITE PLAN FOR 300 PARKWOOD DRIVE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING ON PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOT 13 R0W NIGHT NUMBER 899 ADDITION IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, AND LOCATED AT 300 PARKWOOD DRIVE, SOUTH LAKE, TEXAS.

[6. F. ZA22-0030, Site Plan for 251 Players Circle Athletic Training Facility, a 16,446 square foot one story office and training facility building on property being described as Lot 4, Players Circle Addition, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas located at 251 Players Circle, Southlake Texas. Current Zoning: "C-3" General Commercial District. SPIN Neighborhood #10. PUBLIC HEARING ]

SITE PLAN FOR 251 PLAYERS CIRCLE ATHLETIC TRAINING FACILITY DIRECTOR BAKER SORRY.

MAYOR MEMBERS COUNCIL.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING DEVELOPMENT OF A 16,446 SQUARE FOOT SINGLE STORY BUILDING THAT WILL CONTAIN AN INDOOR BASEBALL TRAINING FACILITY AND AN OFFICE AREA RELATED TO PRIMARY TRAINING USE.

ALL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRAINING FACILITY WILL OCCUR INDOORS.

PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 251 PLAYER CIRCLE.

IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH PLAYER'S CIRCLE, IT'S THE LOT, THE MOST SOUTHERN LOT.

WHEN YOU GO PAST THE CUL DE SAC IT'S ACROSS FROM STAMPEDE SPORTS.

THE ZONING IS C THREE GENERAL COMMERCIAL THIS IS AN AERIAL SHOWING THE PROPERTY LOCATION THIS STAMPEDE SPORTS THE NEW OFFICE DEVELOPMENT THE SACRED CHAIRS WHERE THE PROPOSED TRAINING FACILITY IS LOCATED.

IT DOES HAVE RETAIL COMMERCIAL USE AND AS MENTIONED, THE CURRENT ZONING IS C THREE WHICH ALLOWS THE USE PROPOSE.

THESE ARE COUPLE SITE PHOTOS, THE PLAYER CIRCLE, THE PUBLIC PORTION ENDS AT THE TERMINUS OF THE CUL DE SAC.

THERE'S A DRIVE AND STAMPEDES.

PARKING SPACES ARE TO THE SOUTH OF THE BUILDING.

THIS WOULD BE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THAT.

THIS IS LOOKING BACK TOWARDS 1709, KIND OF IN A NORTHEASTERLY DIRECTION.

THIS IS THE STAMPEDE SPORTS AND THE NEW OFFICE DEVELOPMENT.

THE ARCHITECTURE THAT'S BEING PRESENTED IS SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THESE BUILDINGS ACROSS THE STREET.

FEW MORE VIEWS.

THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT STYLES TO THE PLAYER CIRCLE DEVELOPMENT.

WHEN THE CONCEPT PLAN WAS FIRST APPROVED, THERE WAS AN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE THAT WAS PRESENTED AND APPROVED.

BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SOME DEVIATIONS FROM THAT AS BUILDINGS HAVE MODERNIZED IN THE IN THE AREA.

[01:20:02]

THIS IS A CONCEPT PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED WHEN THE C3 THREE ZONING WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2005.

THE APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN SHOWS A 5100 SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE WITH 51 PARKING SPACES.

THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE SHOWN ON THIS PLOT WAS 60%.

THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN IN THE CASE OF 16,446 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING WITH 27 PARKING SPACES, SIGNIFICANTLY LESS PARKING SPACES, A LARGER BUILDING.

BUT THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE IS 62%.

WHICH IS WELL WITHIN THAT C THREE ZONING DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN AS MENTIONED JUST OVER 16 K AND BUILDING 27 PARKING SPACES.

THERE'LL BE A CUL DE SAC ALONG THE PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY ON THE NORTH PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

BUT THE DEVELOPER DOES SHOW A SIDEWALK COMING ALONG THE FRONT TO THE ENTRANCE THAT KIND OF WRAPS AROUND THE SOUTH PART OF THE BUILDING.

THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN WOULD BE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING PROVIDED WITH THE PROPOSAL AND THE TREE PRESERVATION PLAN. THERE IS A VARIANCE BEING REQUESTED.

THERE'S CURRENTLY 15% OF THE SITE HAS TREE COVER ON IT AND THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES 70% OF THE EXISTING TREE COVER TO BE PRESERVED.

THE TREE PLAN SHOWS 45% OF THE EXISTING TREE COVER TO BE PRESERVED AND TO MAKE UP FOR THAT DIFFERENCE, WHICH IS ROUGHLY A 25% DEFICIENCY THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO PAY INTO THE REFORESTATION FUND.

THE AMOUNT WILL BE $5,980.

THAT WILL BE THREE TREES EQUALING ROUGHLY 40 INCHES IN DIAMETER AT FULL GROWTH.

AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO MAKE UP THAT DIFFERENCE BY PAYING INTO THE CITY'S REFORESTATION FUND.

AND THE CITY USES THAT FUND TO PLACE TREES ON PUBLIC PROPERTIES THROUGH THE THROUGH THE CITY.

AS I MENTIONED, WHEN THE 2005 ZONING WAS APPROVED, THERE WAS A TYPICAL ARCHITECTURAL STYLE WHICH YOU SEE AT FRONT OF THE PLAYER CIRCLE, WHICH THESE ARE A MIMIC.

BUT AS BUILDINGS WERE DEVELOPED FURTHER SOUTH AND OVER TIME, THEY THERE WAS SOME DEVIATION, BUT KEEPING CONSISTENT WITH THE STONE, KIND OF THE LOOK AND COLORS.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED BUILDING WITH A NORTH ELEVATION.

AS MENTIONED, IT IS A TRAINING FACILITY.

THIS WON'T BE LIKE STAMPEDE WHERE IT'S OPEN FOR THE PUBLIC.

IT'S MEANT FOR A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE AND OTHER OTHER PURPOSES.

BUT IT WON'T BE OPERATED LIKE A STAMPEDE WHERE YOU HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF KIDS AND PEOPLE COMING IN ALL HOURS.

IT'S GEARED FOR THAT VERY SPECIALIZED TRAINING, BUT YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE ELEVATIONS AS NORTH ELEVATION HAS MENTIONED, THAT SIDEWALK THAT WRAPS AROUND THE BUILDING.

AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE STONE THAT WAS PICKED UP IN THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE BUILDINGS.

SOUTH ELEVATION.

SO SOMEWHAT SIMILAR.

LOOK TO WHAT'S ACROSS THE STREET.

THERE ARE TWO VARIANCES.

ONE WILL BE THE TREE PRESERVATION, WHICH I MENTIONED.

THERE ALSO WILL BE A 4 TO 1 SLOPE VARIANCE BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY TO THE SOUTH, THE LOT THAT'S DIRECTLY SOUTH.

IF YOU NOTICED ON THE AERIALS, THE SOUTHLAKE WAS HOA AMENITY CENTER.

SO DIRECTLY BEHIND IT THERE IS NO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, BUT IT DOES CLIP THAT BUILDING.

THE PREDOMINANT HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING IS 33 FEET.

THE C THREE, DOES THAT ALLOW UP TO 35 FEET? THESE ARE THE TWO VARIANCES, THE VARIANCE TO THE TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE AND THEN THAT 4 TO 1 RESIDENTIAL SETBACK OR THE TWO VARIANCES BEING CONSIDERED.

AND HERE'S JUST AN AERIAL AGAIN, SHOWING THE SITE IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSES.

THE P AND Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND GRANTED BOTH THE VARIANCES AS PRESENTED.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. GEORGE BAKER AND THE QUESTION OF STAFF.

YEAH, I'D LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT TREE VARIANCE.

YOU HAD ABOUT THREE SLIDES BACK.

YOU KIND OF HAD AN OVERHEAD VIEW.

I WAS WONDERING WHERE THOSE THREE TREES RIGHT THERE.

IT'S THERE'S THREE RIGHT THERE.

RIGHT. YEAH. OKAY.

AND SOME OF THESE ARE PHYSICALLY ON THE PROPERTY LINE.

ALSO, PERHAPS WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT AS A COUNCIL JUST A LITTLE BIT.

I MEAN, THAT'S AN EMPTY LOT.

[01:25:01]

YOU KNOW, IT'S AN EMPTY LOT FOR RETAIL.

AND I JUST WANT TO TALK THROUGH COLLECTING THOSE DOLLARS IF, YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO IN THAT CASE.

SO. YEAH. YEAH.

GOOD QUESTION. ANYTHING ELSE FOR STAFF? OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

I SEE. I CAN HEAR. MR. MARCUS. YOU KNOW THE DRILL, SIR.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL.

ACOS MACUS 608 EAST NORTHWEST HIGHWAY AND GRAPEVINE.

KEN PROBABLY DID A BETTER JOB OF PRESENTING THIS THAN I.

WE HAVE A RELATIVE THAT'S A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER, ACTUALLY.

TREVOR STORY PLAYS FOR THE RED SOX, BUT HE KEEPS HIS HOME HERE.

HE'S AN IRVING GUY, AND HE'S WANTED TO HAVE A PLACE.

THERE'S ACTUALLY, YOU PROBABLY KNOW, A LARGE POPULATION OF THESE GREAT PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES, AND MANY OF THE PLACES CATER TO MORE OF A RETAIL TRADE AND SO FORTH. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A REAL SPECIALIZED PLACE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE INTERIOR.

THIS GOING TO BE VERY HIGH END REHAB THINGS.

I MEAN, IN THE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES THAT USES ARE AT A VERY HIGH END.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ENDEAVORED TO DO WHEN WE WERE DESIGNING THIS.

WE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY LAST YEAR.

BUT IF YOU'LL LOOK BEST WE CAN TELL, THIS IS ONE OF THE WE CAN FIND THE ONLY EXCEPT IF YOU GO TO A STADIUM, YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE AN INDOOR THROW FROM DEEP SHORT TO FIRST.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY INTERIOR POLES.

AND THEY WANTED A LITTLE PRIVACY.

I DIDN'T NOTICE THE ONE THING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.

THIS IS THE ENTRANCE.

BUT THIS ENTRANCE BACK HERE, THAT'S REALLY WHERE THAT WE THINK THE ATHLETES WILL PROBABLY PARK THEIR CARS ITS OWN DOOR.

AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BUILD THIS.

WE THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY COOL BUILDING.

AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE VARIANCE, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT SITE, THOSE TREES, EVEN UNDER THE PREVIOUS PLAN, THEY'RE RIGHT UNDER RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, ALMOST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOT. THEY WERE GOING TO GO ANYWAY, BUT WE DIDN'T WANT TO ASK FOR A VARIANCE ON THAT.

TREES ARE KIND OF IMPORTANT IF YOU ALL DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BUT I THINK THOSE TREES WERE GOING TO BE GONE ANYWAY.

IF YOU LOOK AT OUR LANDSCAPE PLAN, WE ENGAGED A REAL HIGH END LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND THIS THING IS LANDSCAPED TO THE HILT.

IT WILL BE VERY WELL DONE.

I THINK IT'LL FIT IN WELL OVER THERE.

WITH THAT, I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR FAVORABLE APPROVAL TONIGHT AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM FOR YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MICKY'S? WELL, HE'S REALLY GOOD.

I APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING WILLING TO MAKE THE INVESTMENT IN SOUTH LIKE THIS.

LOOKS LIKE A COOL FACILITY, FOR SURE.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING FOR ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM SIX OF.

CNN. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COUNSEL ANY DISCUSSION.

RANDY, YOU WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE TREES? YEAH, I MEAN, MY ONLY THOUGHT IS FOR CONSIDERATION.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN'T DEVELOP THAT LOT WITHOUT MOVING THOSE TREES.

CLEARLY, IT'S A RESIDENTIAL LOT.

BUT I MEAN, I LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.

I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, 15% OF THE LOT HAS TREES AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP 70% OF THAT.

THEY'RE KEEPING 45. I MEAN, THE MATH GETS SO LOW ON THAT.

IT'S NOT TO ME, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT ONE TO TURN AWAY 6000.

IF MR. MARKUS WANTS TO DO THAT OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HIS HEART.

BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A REASON WE HAVE A VARIANCE AND WE PASS THINGS SOMETIMES BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE. AND WHEN FOLKS COME IN BELOW THE ORDINANCE, IT MAKES SENSE FOR THE BETTER DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY.

SO I WOULD BE OPEN TO NOT COLLECTING THAT THAT 6000.

BUT THAT'S UP TO COUNCIL DIRECTOR BAKER.

HOW DO WE MECHANICALLY DO THAT? WHAT'S YOUR SUGGESTION? YOU WOULD JUST GRANT THE TREE VARIANCE AND WAIVE THE CONTRIBUTION INTO THE TREE FORESTATION FUND? I MEAN, WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE, CORRECT? WE'VE ALLOWED VARIANCES NORMALLY.

JUST WAIT. YEAH, YOU'VE GRANTED VARIANCES, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, I THINK.

WAS THIS SOMETHING, MR. MAKUS, JUST PREEMPTIVELY TO MR. MAKUS OFFERED THAT? YEAH, THAT'S FANTASTIC.

YEAH. DO YOU THINK LEAVE IT IN OR YOU GRANT THE VARIANCE AND LET THEM SPEND THAT MONEY ON LANDSCAPING? YEAH. I MEAN, MR. MAKUS, WOULD YOU FEEL LIKE UPPING YOUR LANDSCAPING? AND REALLY, I MEAN, IT LOOKS FANTASTIC, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU DO GOOD WORK.

WOULD YOU WANT TO? YEAH.

I MEAN, WE WERE JUST TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE VARIANCES.

AND I APPRECIATE YOU YOUR YOUR KIND OF PRACTICALITY OF THE THOUGHT.

I'LL ASSURE YOU, I SEE THESE TWO YOUNG BASEBALL TEAMS HERE.

[01:30:02]

AND TREVOR IS A PRODUCT OF YOUTH BASEBALL, AND HE'S NOT SITTING HERE.

BUT I KNOW WHAT HE WOULD SAY IF HE WAS.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET MORE THAN MANY SIX THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF THIS FACILITY GOING FORWARD.

IF YOU DO IT, FINE. IF YOU DON'T.

I UNDERSTAND. NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL.

THANK YOU. THANKS.

THANK YOU, SIR. IT'S UP TO COUNCIL.

I MEAN, I'M JUST. I'M FINE.

EITHER WAY, I'M FINE GRANTING THE VARIANCE.

I REALLY DO. I MEAN, THIS IS NOT THE SITUATION THE VARIANCE IS MEANT TO PROTECT AGAINST.

EXACTLY. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT IT'S.

YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. IT'S NOT ABOUT.

HE'S NOT STRIPPING A LOT OF LANDSCAPE HERE.

SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST MAKE THE MOTION WITH THE VARIANCE GRANTING THE VARIANCE, YOU KNOW, THE DISCUSSION COUNCIL.

I THINK IT'S OVERKILL. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERTSON.

ROBERTSON. WILLIAMSON WOW.

GOOD TO MEET YOU. COUNCILMEMBER SMITH.

WOW, IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS ON MY HEAD.

HE ALSO GOES BY OTHER RANDY.

THAT'S WHAT I USE NEXT TIME.

NO, I AGREE.

I WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT TO YOUR POINT, TAKING THIS MONEY.

I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY.

I LOVE WHAT THAT SPOT DOWN THERE HAS BECOME.

I REMEMBER DRIVING DOWN THERE YEARS AGO AND WATCHING IT GO INTO A GAME INSIDE ONE OF THOSE FACILITIES.

AND I THINK THIS FACILITY IS ALREADY GOING TO BE OVER LANDSCAPED, NOT LITERALLY, BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY.

SO I WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT TAKING THE MONEY.

OKAY, WELL, LET'S TRY A MOTION WITH THAT VARIANCE INCLUDED.

FANTASTIC. WE DID PUBLIC HEARING OR DID THIS HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING IS COMPLETE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT MAYOR COUNCIL I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX F OTHERWISE REFER TO AZ8 20 20030 SITE PLAN FOR 251 PLAYER CIRCLE ATHLETIC TRAINING FACILITY A 16,446 SQUARE FOOT ONE STORY OFFICE AND TRAINING FACILITY.

BUILDING A PROPERTY TO BEING DESCRIBED AS A LOT FOUR PLAYER CIRCLE EDITION.

IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED AT 251 PLAYER CIRCLE.

SOUTH LAKE, TEXAS.

BUT WE'RE GRANTING THAT VARIANCE AND THEN ALSO ARE GRANTING A VARIANCE TO THE EXISTING TREE COVER PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE, NOTING THERE'S CURRENTLY 15% EXISTING TREE COVER ON THE PROPERTY IN A MINIMUM OF 70% OF THE EXISTING TREE COVER IS REQUIRED TO BE PRESERVED.

IN THIS CASE, A MAXIMUM OF 45% OF THE EXISTING TREE COVER IS PROPOSED TO BE PRESERVED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GRANT THAT VARIANCE BASED ON THAT PERCENTAGE.

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

ALL RIGHT. 9670.

CONGRATULATIONS, SIR. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT.

OPEN. YES, SIR. OKAY, WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN A.

[7. A. Ordinance No. 480-763a (ZA22-0029), 1st Reading, Wheelhouse Garages, LLC, is requesting approval of a Zoning Change and Site Plan with a variance to the Masonry Ordinance on property described as Tracts 6C, 6C02, 6C03, 6C01A, Jesse G. Allen Survey Abstract No. 18, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 880-950 Davis Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District. Requested Zoning: "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #10. ]

AUDIENCE NUMBER 4876380Z 20 200029 FIRST READING WHEELHOUSE GARAGES, LLC REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A ZONING CHANGE IN SITE PLAN WITH A VARIANCE TO THE MASONRY ORDINANCE.

DR. BAKER MAYOR, AS MAYOR OF THE COUNCIL.

THIS IS A REVISION TO EXISTING APPROVED SITE PLAN AND ZONING.

WHEELHOUSE IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A ZONING CHANGE IN SITE PLAN, WHICH WILL INCLUDE A MASONRY VARIANCE.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST IS TO AMEND THE EXISTING ZONING AND SITE PLAN TO ADD LIMITED C TO LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT USES, WHICH INCLUDE THE C ONE AND OFFICE OH ONE USES TO THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE LONG DAVIS BOULEVARD.

AND THEN TO ALLOW THE TWO EXISTING BUILDINGS ON THE NORTH SIDE.

THESE ARE EXISTING BUILDINGS ON THE SITE.

WHEN THE ZONING AND SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED, ORIGINALLY THE APPLICANT INDICATED THEY WERE GOING TO REMODEL, REHABBED THOSE BUILDINGS.

THEY'RE ASKING TO BUILD A NEW BUILDING AT THIS LOCATION AND THAT HAS WITH THE USES AND THE CHANGE, THE SLIGHT CHANGE OF SITE PLAN IN THIS B AND SP1 DISTRICT, WE HAD TO RUN THE REZONING BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS FOR APPROVAL.

THIS IS THE AN AERIAL OF THE SITE.

YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING BUILDING WHICH WILL NOW BE REMOVED AND A NEW BUILDING WILL BE CONSTRUCTED.

THE LAND USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PROPOSED USES, THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AND THE SPE ONE ZONING.

BECAUSE OF THE SITE PLAN NATURE OF THE SITE, THE CHANGE IS REQUIRED TO COME BACK THROUGH THE ZONING PROCESS VERSUS JUST A SIMPLE SITE PLAN AMENDMENT. SO THIS IS THE ADOPTED SITE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2019 SHOWING THE OFFICE SHOWROOM USES THE BUILDING THE BROWN BUILDING WAS THE TWO BUILDINGS HERE WERE GOING

[01:35:01]

TO BE REHABBED AND REMODEL THE PROPOSED USES.

THAT WILL CHANGE.

THEY'LL BE LIMITED C-2 USES ON THE FRONT BUILDING.

SO IT'D BE THIS BUILDING AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER AND THIS 57,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT TWO BUILDING THE C-2 USES THAT ARE WOULD ALLOW THE C-1 AND THE O1 USES IN YOUR PACKET.

A NUMBER OF USES HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE WL ONE AND CAN REFERENCE THAT IF NEEDED.

BUT SUCH USES AN OFFICE SUCH AS CHAMBERS, COMMERCE, SAVINGS AND LOAN UTILITY OFFICES, COMMUNITY FACILITIES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE O ONE. THE C ONE WOULD ALLOW A LIMITED SIT DOWN RESTAURANT UP TO 2500 SQUARE FEET OR 2000 SQUARE FEET.

SO A SIT DOWN RESTAURANT WOULD BE ALLOWED.

AND THEN THE C TWO USES, THEY'VE ELIMINATED MOST OF THOSE USES.

BUT SOME USES THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR INCLUDE BAKERY, BICYCLE SHOP, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, DRY CLEANERS WOULD BE INDICATIVE OF THE TYPE OF USES THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED.

IN ADDITION TO THOSE C TWO USES OFFICE SHOWROOM.

OFFICE WAREHOUSE IS BEING REQUESTED AUTOMOBILE, MOTORCYCLE SALES AND SERVICE, NOT TO INCLUDE ANY OUTDOOR SALES OR SERVICE OR STORAGE AREAS BEING REQUESTED.

SO THIS WOULD BE LIKE THE MOTORCYCLE SHOP WHERE THEY DO HAVE SOME INDOOR CELLS AND THEN A SMALL AREA THAT'S ALLOCATED FOR INDOOR TYPE OF MAINTENANCE RETAIL CELLS WITH OPERATION OF OFFICE SHOWROOM AND THE RETAIL CELLS WILL BE AUXILIARY TO THE OPERATION AND THEN LABORATORY CHEMICAL, GENERAL ANALYSIS, PHYSICAL TESTING OF THE TYPES OF USES THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED.

THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE BUILDING.

THIS RED LINE SHOWS A FENCE THAT WILL SURROUND THIS PORTION OF THE SITE.

THE USES PERMITTED WOULD BE GARAGE AND STORAGE MAINTENANCE.

PERSONAL VEHICLE HOBBY SHOPS FOR PERSONAL USE WOULD BE THE USES THAT WOULD REMAIN AND COULD BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WAS APPROVED IN THE 2019 ZONING AND SITE PLAN. LOT FOR THE GREEN SPACE HERE, WHICH IS A 57,000 SQUARE FEET PLUS THAT WILL REMAIN. IS PASSIVE RECREATION, OPEN SPACE.

THERE WILL BE AN EASEMENT THAT WILL BE DEDICATED FOR A FUTURE TRAIL ALONG THE CREEK AREA.

IF DEVELOPED BY THE CITY AND THEN THE CI ONE PIECE, WHICH IS ON THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, THERE WILL BE A COMMENT THAT THERE WILL BE AN ACCESS ACROSS THE DRIVE NOT TO LAND LIKE THAT, BUT THE ONE ZONING WOULD STAY IN PLACE AT THE P AND Z.

THE APPLICANT INDICATED THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO EITHER SELL TO THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS OR BUT THERE'S NO PLANS TO DEVELOP THAT PIECE.

BUT THE EXISTING ZONING WOULD REMAIN ON THAT.

WHAT'S CALLED LOT FIVE, THE BUILDING AREA WHICH YOU SEE IN HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW, WILL JUST BE REDUCED SLIGHTLY, JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN 100 SQUARE FEET.

AND WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED? AGAIN, WE HAVE ALL THE USES AND WE CAN GET IN THIS IF NEEDED.

THIS IS A FIRST READING, BUT THE PERMITTED USES AND THEN THE THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCES THE SAME VARIANCES THAT WERE APPROVED WITH THE FIRST THE FIRST READING AND THEN THE TREE PRESERVATION PLAN IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS APPROVED DURING THE PREVIOUS ZONING.

THIS IS A LANDSCAPE PLAN.

YOU CAN SHOW THE THEY'LL HAVE A BUFFER YARD REQUIREMENTS, LANDSCAPING THROUGH THE SITE, AND THEN THIS AREA WILL REMAIN UNDISTURBED.

THIS IS THE ELEVATIONS.

AND PROPOSED MATERIAL COLORS OF THE NEW BUILDING ON THE NORTH SIDE.

THEN A COUPLE OF STREET VIEWS.

THERE IS ONE OPPOSED OPPOSITION FROM A NEIGHBOR IN SIENA TO THE WEST.

THE PLAINS ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SEVEN ZERO WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE LOT FOUR MAIN THE PASSIVE OPEN SPACE.

[01:40:09]

THAT WAS ALWAYS THE INTENT OF THE APPLICANT, BUT THEY DID ADD IT TO THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AS PART OF THIS FIRST READING FOR COUNCIL, SO I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YEAH.

DIRECTOR BAKER. SO THIS IS REALLY NOT THAT MANY CHANGES TO THE ACTUAL SITE PLAN.

THIS IS MORE ABOUT ADDING A FEW USES TO A FEW PARTICULAR BUILDINGS.

SO I TALKED A LOT JUST TO ADD USES TO THE TO THE ZONING.

YOU WERE VERY THOROUGH, THOUGH.

YOU CAN TALK AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO DRAW IN YOUR BAKER FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

NO, THAT'S YEAH.

OKAY. AND JUST TO REITERATE, MAKE SURE I HEARD THIS RIGHT.

THE VARIANCE THAT THE VARIANCES THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING ARE THE SAME VARIANCES THAT WE APPROVED THREE YEARS AGO, THREE YEARS AGO, FOUR YEARS AGO, 2019, AS WELL AS THE TREE PRESERVATION.

THAT'S ESSENTIALLY THE SAME, RIGHT? A SLIGHT MODIFICATION ON THE CORE LOTS, BUT YES, SAME SAME PLAN.

OKAY. AND I MEAN, I THINK P AND Z MADE A GOOD CHANGE AS FAR AS PUTTING IT IN THE DEVELOPING AGREEMENT THAT FOUR IS GOING TO REMAIN PASSIVE OPEN SPACE.

YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OAK? THANK YOU, SIR. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? MR. CURTIS. YOU KNOW THE DRILL, SIR.

COME ON DOWN. THANK YOU.

MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS CURTIS YOUNG WITH THE SAGE GROUP.

1130 NORTH CARROLL HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

AS DIRECTOR BAKER MENTIONED, THIS IS LARGELY WHAT WAS SOME OF YOU REMEMBER WAS APPROVED THREE YEARS AGO.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE REALLY BEING THAT WE DECIDED THE BUILDINGS ALONG THE NORTH WOULD BE BETTER OFF REMOVED AND THE EXISTING BUILDING AND REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW BUILDING THERE, BASICALLY IN THE SAME LOCATION, SAME SIZE AND A LONG DAVIS.

YOU KNOW, THREE YEARS HAVE GONE ON.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR HIGHER USES ALONG THERE.

SO WE'VE REVISED THAT BUILDING TO ACCOMMODATE THE HIGHER USES.

IT MADE IT A LITTLE BIT SMALLER, ADDED SOME PARKING.

SO THAT'S BASICALLY IT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DETAILED QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS? YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE SOME MOVEMENT ON THE SITE.

THAT'S GREAT. THAT'D BE GREAT.

ABSOLUTELY. OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANKS. ITEM SEVEN IS A FIRST READING, SO IT'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING.

BUT IF ANYBODY IS HERE TO SPEAK, I'M CERTAINLY HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN A COMMENT.

[9. B. MSP22-0001, Master Sign Plan for the USPI Southlake Medical Office Building located at 905 E. Southlake Blvd., Southlake, Texas. ]

RICHARD BAKER MAYOR COUNCIL.

THIS IS A MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL FOR THE NEW 25 K BUILDING THAT'S BEING BUILT IN FRONT OF THE EXISTING BAYLOR SCOTT WHITE BUILDING ON TOWER PLAZA 1709.

THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE BUILDING.

YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN IT UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THIS IS A EXHIBIT SHOWING THE THE PROPOSED LOCATION OF THE BUILDING.

THE WHAT'S LABELED CL ONE B IS A BAYLOR SCOTT WHITE SIGNAGE.

THE SEAL THREE AND SEAL TWO ARE HOLDING SPACES FOR FUTURE TENANTS, WHICH ARE SHOWN ON THE NORTH FACADE.

THERE'S ALSO AN ADDITIONAL BAYLOR SCOTT WHITE SURGICAL SOUTHLAKE SIDE FACING TOWER PLAZA THAT'S SHOWING SEAL ONE A AND THEN A HOLDING SPOT FOR FUTURE TENANTS SIGN ON THAT EAST SIDE.

THE AD IS THE ADDRESS SIGN WHICH IS PERMITTED IT'S A IT'S JUST A ADDRESS ON THE BUILDING THAT'S VISIBLE FROM 1709. SO I'LL GO OVER THE.

EACH SIGN THAT'S BEING PROPOSED.

BUT THESE ARE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS SHOWING THE SIGN.

THE NORTH ELEVATION IS THE ELEVATION THAT'S FACING 1709 AND THIS IS THE BAYLOR SCOTT WHITE SIGN.

AND THEN THERE'S TWO JUST AREAS THAT ARE DELINEATED ON THE BUILDING FOR FUTURE TENANT SIGNS AND LOGO.

AND THEN ON THE TOWER PLAZA SIDE OF THE EAST ELEVATION SAME BAYLOR SCOTT WHITE WITH A TEN A SIGN LOCATED JUST BELOW THAT THE AREA FACING TOWER PLAZA ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING FACING THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT'S A LOT OF MECHANICAL TYPE EQUIPMENT IN THAT AREA.

SO THIS IS THE ADDRESS SIGN.

905. THIS IS BEING PROPOSED ON THE THE SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD SIDE.

IT'S ILLUMINATED.

A FIVE SQUARE FOOT ADDRESS SIGN.

SO THIS IS THE BAYLOR SCOTT WHITE SIGN.

THEY'RE ASKING ON THE NORTH ELEVATION OF 1709.

THE VARIANCES ARE WHAT DOESN'T LINE UP WITH THE SIGN ORDINANCE IS THAT, ONE, YOU NEED APPROVAL BY COUNCIL FOR ANY UPPER STORY SIGN.

THERE IS AN OFFSET FROM THE MIDDLE 75% OF THE ARTICULATED PLANE.

THE LETTER HEIGHT IS 22 INCHES IS BEING PROPOSED ON THE BAYLOR SCOTT WHITE.

THE TAGLINE IS JUST OVER EIGHT INCHES.

MAXIMUM LETTER HEIGHT PERMITTED.

IT IS 18 INCHES.

THE LOGO HEIGHT IS 47 INCHES.

AND A SIGN BOARD RECOMMENDATION WAS THAT THE LOGO MATCHED THE LOGO THAT WAS APPROVED ON THE LARGER BUILDING TO THE SOUTH. AND SO THE LOGO SIGN HAS BEEN REDUCED AS WELL AS THE SIGN AREA SINCE THE SIGN BOARD HAS REVIEWED THIS AND MADE A RECOMMENDATION.

AND YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHAT'S REQUIRED BY 704 J OR EXISTING SIGN ORDINANCE.

THESE ARE ALSO DAYTIME WILL SHOW UP AS A BLUE CHANNEL CUT LETTERS AND THEN WITH THE HALO LIGHT THEY'LL SHOW UP AS A WHITE LIGHT LETTERING AT NIGHT AS SHOWN ON THE BOTTOM PART.

THEY'RE ASKING FOR A SIMILAR SIGN ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND YOU CAN SEE THE COMPARISON HERE AND THE PROPOSED LOCATION.

IN ADDITION, ON THE FIRST FLOOR, THE APPLICANTS REQUESTING FOR TWO HOLDING PLACES FOR FUTURE TENANT SIGNS.

THE VARIANCES ARE THE OFFSET FROM THE LOCATION WITHIN THE ARTICULATED PLANE.

THE LETTER HEIGHT IS REQUESTED 22 INCHES.

18 INCHES IS ALLOWED BY ORDINANCE MAXIMUM LOGO HEIGHT 27.5.

[01:50:06]

22.5 IS ALLOWED BY ORDINANCE AND THEN 85 SQUARE FOOT MAXIMUM TOTAL AREA, 42 SQUARE FEET. WITH THE MASTER SIGN PLAN, THEY WOULD BE LIMITED TO THE SIGNS THAT ARE SHOWN WITH THE APPROVAL AND THEN ANY ADDITIONAL SIGNS WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE MASTER SIGN PLAN PROCESS.

AND SO THEN ALSO ONE, THIS IS THE NORTH ELEVATION, THE TWO SIGNS AND THEN ON THE EAST ELEVATION, A SIMILAR AREA SIGN SHOWN BUT ONLY A SINGLE SIGN SHOWN ON THE TOWER PLAZA SIDE.

THESE ARE JUST SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SITE.

THERE ARE MONUMENT SIGNS, BUT THE APPLICANT INDICATED AT THE SIGNBOARD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE RIGHT OR ACCESS TO THE THE EXISTING MONUMENT SIGNS ALONE TOWER.

THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL MONUMENT SIGNS BEING PROPOSED WITH THIS APPLICATION.

THESE ARE THE APPROVAL ON THE LARGER BUILDING TO THE SOUTH.

AGAIN, THE SIGNBOARD RECOMMENDATION WAS THAT THE LOGO SIZE MATCH WHAT WAS APPROVED ON THE LARGER BUILDING TO THE SOUTH? IS THAT A PHOTO PICKER? YES, THAT'S EXISTING, RIGHT? YES, SIR. THAT'S THE BIGGER BUILDING FOR YOURSELF.

AND SO THESE ARE THE SIGNS THAT ARE APPROVED ON THAT BUILDING.

AGAIN THE SIGNBOARD OF PROOF SIX ZERO AND NOTING THAT THE BAYLOR SCOTT WHITE SIGNS APPROVED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LOGO AND THE LOGO SIZE NEEDS TO BE SAME AS THE WHAT THEY SAID THE BACK BUILDING.

AND THEY APPROVED THE FUTURE TENANT SIGNS AS REQUESTED.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, SIR. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? DID THE APP AND THE APP REQUEST TO CANCEL.

ARE THEY MIRRORING WHAT THE SAME BOARD RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED AT THIS POINT? I'M SORRY. ARE THEY MIRRORING WHAT THE SIGN BOARD RECOMMENDED? YES. YES, SIR. THEY CHANGED THE LOGO SIZE TO REFLECT THE SIGN BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION.

SO THEY'RE OKAY WITH WHAT THE SIGN BOARD PUT FORTH? YES, SIR. OKAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? COME ON DOWN. SIR, IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YEAH, I'M WITH UNITED SURGICAL PARTNERS.

OUR CORPORATE OFFICES AT 14201 DALLAS PARKWAY IN DALLAS.

AND I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT EXTRA TO OFFER JUST TO SAY THAT THE INTENT WAS TO MATCH THE SIGNAGE THAT WAS ON THE EXISTING BUILDING.

AND SO WE'RE COMPLETELY ON BOARD WITH REDUCING THE LOGO JUST A LITTLE BIT TO MATCH WHAT WAS THERE, THE SURGICAL FACILITIES IS ALL ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT THE TWO UPPER STORY SIGNS FOR THAT.

AND THEN THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL TENANT SPACE THAT'S ON THE FIRST FLOOR THERE WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO PRESERVE SOME SPOTS FOR TENANTS TO HAVE SOME SIGNAGE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU? YES, SIR. GOOD QUICK QUESTION WHILE WE HAVE YOU HERE, WILL THIS SERVES A SIMILAR PURPOSE TO WHAT YOUR SURGERY CARE OVER IN GRAPEVINE DOES RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A REPLACEMENT FACILITY FOR THE BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE SURGERY CARE GRAPEVINE.

OH GOOD. YEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S A THAT'S KIND OF A DATED BUILDING OVER THERE.

SO THIS WOULD REALLY BE A NICE UPGRADE FOR IT WAS TIME TO KIND OF REMODEL OR RELOCATE AND WE CHOSE TO RELOCATE.

AND SO THESE ARE ALL DAY PROCEDURES ARTHROSCOPIC.

A LOT OF THAT TYPE OF WORK, CORRECT? YEAH. OUTPATIENT SURGERY.

THAT'S GREAT. WONDERFUL.

YOU KNOW THE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR. WE'LL CALL YOU BACK IF WE NEED TO.

OKAY. SO ITEM NINE B IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ONE.

OK SEEING NONE COUNCIL.

IS THERE A ANY CONVERSATION? ARE WE OKAY WITH WHAT THE SIGN BOARD RECOMMENDED? MM HMM. IT SEEMS LIKE THE APPLICANT IS, SO IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN THE EXISTING BILL.

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT ONE? WE HAD ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE.

YES. HEARINGS ON THAT SIGN PACKAGE.

SO THIS IS A WELCOME REPRIEVE FROM THAT.

IT'S TAKING SOME GUIDANCE.

THAT'S RIGHT. FACE VALUE.

MUCH BETTER. MUCH BETTER.

AGREED. NO DISCUSSION.

WE'LL TAKE A MOTION. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I'LL MOVE THAT. WE APPROVE ITEM NINE BE OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS MSSP 22-0001 MASTER SIGNED PLAN FOR THE USP SOUTHLAKE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING LOCATED AT 905 E SOUTH LAKE BOULEVARD, SOUTH LAKE, TEXAS, SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED AUGUST NINTH, 2022, AND NOTING THAT TONIGHT WE'RE APPROVING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SIGNED BOARD.

[01:55:01]

OKAY, THERE'S A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE? ALL RIGHT. ITEM NINE B PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE C, MSP 22-0002 MASTER SIGN PLAN FOR DISTRICT 114 LOCATED AT 2102 EAST STATE

[9. C. MSP22-0002, Master Sign Plan for District 114 located at 2102 E. SH 114, Southlake, Texas.]

HIGHWAY 114. DIRECTOR BAKER, MEMBERS COUNCIL.

THIS IS A MASTER SIGN PLAN FOR THE NEW DISTRICT 114 BUILDING.

THIS AERIAL VIEW SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE BUILDING JUST TO THE EAST OF CHERRY LANE AND WEST OF KIMBALL.

SOME VIEWS OF THE BUILDING FROM VARIOUS DIRECTIONS.

THE A NUMBER OF SIGNS ARE ON THE SHOWN ON THE EXHIBIT.

BUT TO JUST TRY TO CONDENSE IT MAYBE QUICKLY FOR YOU, THERE ARE THREE UPPER STORY SIGNS WHICH ARE IDENTIFIED AS D FOUR.

THAT'S THE FURY ATHLETICS SIGN.

THE NEXT UPPER FLOOR SIGN IS ON THE IS D SEVEN, WHICH IS A TEXAS SECURITY AND THAT'S ON THE WESTERN FACADE FACING CHERRY AVENUE OR CHERRY LANE.

AND THEN THE D EIGHT, WHICH IS AN UPPER FLOOR OF THE TRINITY INVESTORS SIGN.

SO THERES THREE UPPER STORY SIGNS, THERE'S ONE FIRST FLOOR BUILDING SIGN, THE TEXAS SECURITY BANK, WHICH IS THE LOBBY ENTRANCE AS YOU'RE GOING INTO STARBUCKS.

AND SO THERE'S FOUR SIGNS ON THE BUILDING, THREE UPPER FLOOR, ONE FIRST FLOOR.

THE REMAINDER OF THESE SIGNS ARE DIRECTIONAL OR AN INTERIOR TYPE OF SIGN.

AND SO THESE ARE ALL IDENTIFIED AND HAVE TO BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF THE MASTER SIGN PLAN.

BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FOUR BUILDING SIGNS.

THERE ARE EXISTING SIGNS IN THE FIRST FLOOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE STARBUCKS, WHICH YOU RECENTLY APPROVED.

AND THEN BY RIGHT, THE NOW, WHICH IS A MASSAGE THERAPY TYPE OF ESTABLISHMENT AND THEN ROUTES AND WATER AND WINE HAVE SIGNAGE WHICH WILL SHOW IN THE PRESENTATION.

THERE'S ONE OFF SIDE DIRECTIONAL SIGN WHICH IS IDENTIFIED IN THE ORANGE THAT'S PART OF THE DISTRICT 114 BUT WE'LL GO THROUGH EACH OF THE SIGNS QUICKLY.

K THREE IS A DIRECTIONAL SIGN WHICH PROVIDES DIRECTION TO THE CAMBRIA DELIVERIES, PARKING GARAGE AND OFFICES.

THIS IS A FOUR FIVE BY FOUR SIGN, FIVE FEET IN HEIGHT, FOUR FEET IN WIDTH THE BUILDING SIDE, THE D FOUR IS THE VERY ATHLETIC SIGN WITH THE DIMENSIONS SHOWN A HEIGHT 69.5 INCHES.

AND THEN YOU SEE THE LETTER HEIGHT FOR THE WORD FURY AND THE TAGLINE IS JUST OVER A FOOT IN HEIGHT, WIDTH, AND THAT'LL BE ON THE EASTERN FACADE THAT'LL BE ABOVE WHERE THE STARBUCKS PATIO IS LOCATED FACING 114 AND THE DRIVE ENTRANCE INTO THE THE DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT AND THIS IS A BLACK WITH A REVERSE ILLUMINATED CHANNEL TYPE SIGN D FIVE IS THE TEXAS SECURITY.

THIS IS ACTUALLY AN INTERIOR SIGN.

SO IF YOU'VE BEEN TO THE NEW STARBUCKS, YOU CAN WALK INTO THAT LOBBY.

STARBUCKS IS TO THE RIGHT.

TEXAS SECURITY WILL BE TO THE LEFT.

THE ONLY REASON THIS IS BEFORE YOU IS BECAUSE IT'S A LESS THAN TEN FEET FROM THE WINDOW.

IT'S CONSIDERED A EXTERIOR WINDOW TYPE OF SIGN AND WILL NEED APPROVAL BY COUNCIL.

THE SAME SIDE WAS FOUR FEET BACK.

IT WOULDN'T EVEN NEED APPROVAL BY COUNCIL, BUT IT'S TOTALLY INSIDE LOBBY AREA AND PROVIDES DIRECTION TO THAT RETAIL BANKING PORTION.

THE D SIX IS THE TEXAS SECURITY SIGN, WHICH STARBUCKS IS TO THE RIGHT, AND IT'LL MARK THE RETAIL FUNCTION OF THE BANK.

THEY WILL ALSO HAVE SOME OFFICES ON THE UPPER FLOOR AS WELL AS AN UPPER FLOOR SIGN.

YOU CAN SEE THE DIMENSIONS ON THAT SIGN.

D SEVEN IS THE UPPER STORY TEXAS SECURITY BANK AND THAT'LL BE ON THEIR EASTERN

[02:00:03]

FACADE. THE PARKING GARAGE IS BEHIND IT, BUT THAT WILL BE FACING CHERRY LANE.

LET'S SEE THE MENTIONS.

THE TREATY INVESTMENT SIGN IS THE THIRD UPPER STORY SIGN AND WITH DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT SIGNBOARD THAT WIDTH WAS REDUCED TO 55 FEET AND THE SQUARE FOOTAGE WAS REDUCED TO 148 SQUARE FEET ON THAT PARTICULAR SIGN.

AND THE APPLICANT OFFERED THAT UP DURING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE SIGNBOARD.

AND SIGNBOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

THAT SIGNED NINE IS A MOBILE ORDER SIGN.

SO THIS WILL BE IN FRONT OF THE STARBUCKS.

THE NEW STARBUCKS WILL BE A PARKING TYPE SIGN.

THE D10 IS A WAYFINDING OR DIRECTIONAL TYPE SIGN.

IT'LL BE ON THE EXISTING WALL THAT SURROUNDS THE PARK AREA, IDENTIFYING THE PLAZA AND DELIVERY AREA. BUT THAT WILL BE MOUNTED ON THE WALL.

IT'LL BE A POWDER COATED TYPE OF STEEL WILL NOT BE INTERNALLY ELIMINATED.

THE D 11 IS A DIRECTIONAL IDENTIFIER DISTRICT 114 PLAZA AND THEY'LL BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATE FROM THE STARBUCKS LOGO SIGN THAT YOU ALL PROVED A FEW MONTHS AGO.

BUT YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE RENDERING ON THE FENCE.

THIS WILL BE A JUST A VIDEO SURVEILLANCE AND KIND OF A REGULATION TYPE SIGN. THIS SIDE TYPE OF SIGN DOESN'T NEED APPROVAL BY COUNCIL.

THE APPLICANT JUST SHOWED IT, BUT IT'S EXEMPT FROM SIGN ORDERS REGULATIONS.

BUT THAT'LL BE MOUNTED TO THE RIGHT ARMED PORTION OF THE FENCE GOING INTO THE PARK.

THESE ARE PARKING GARAGE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE AS WELL AS THE RESTAURANT AND OFFICE VISITOR DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE JUST TO BE ON THE WEST SIDE D 13.

THESE ARE LOW PROFILE MONUMENT TYPE SIGNS, THREE FOOT AND WIDTH NOT TO EXCEED FIVE FEET AND THEN D 14 AGAIN DIRECTIONAL SIDE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING LEADING INTO THE GARAGE PARKING AREAS.

AND THEN A THIRD WAYFINDING SIDE D 15.

THE SHOW. I HAVE OTHER SIGNS I CAN GO THROUGH.

MAYOR. I KNOW. I'LL BE GLAD TO SHOW HIM THE DISTRICT IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO.

BUT WE DO HAVE THOSE AVAILABLE IF YOU'D LIKE TO.

THANK YOU. QUICKLY, JUST SOME OF THE OTHER APPROVALS VARIANCES IN KIMBLE PARK.

THIS IS THE SIGN STARBUCKS SIGNAGE THAT WAS APPROVED A FEW MONTHS AGO.

AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXISTING FIRST FLOOR TENANTS SIGNS FROM.

114. THAT CONCLUDES PRESENTATION.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? DIRECTOR BAKER, WITH THIS SLIDE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WITH THE FURY ATHLETICS, BEYOND THAT FAƇADE RIGHT THERE, THE GRAY OR ON THE OTHER SIDE, IT'LL BE ON THE EAST FAƇADE.

SO IT'LL BE THIS FAƇADE.

THAT'S IF YOU CAN SEE THE ARROW.

OKAY, LET ME JUST GET THEM A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

GREAT. SO IT'LL BE ON THIS FAƇADE.

SO IT'S ABOVE KIND OF WHERE THE STARBUCKS PATIO IS LOCATED? YES, CORRECT. YOU SAID 114.

AND I'M LIKE, WELL, THAT'S KIND OF VISIBLE.

I MEAN, JUST KIMBALL 114.

IT'S KIND OF A GOOD CORNER.

THANK YOU. SO LET'S SEE SPECIFICS ON IT.

DIRECTOR BAKER, IS THIS SIMILAR IN SCOPE TO THE MASTER PACKAGE WE APPROVED FOR THE OTHER ONE ON KIMBALL PARK, THE OTHER BUILDING? YES, SIR. AGAIN, IT'S REALLY ONLY FOR BUILDING SIGNS.

YOU GOT THREE AND THEN YOU GOT ONE ON THE FIRST FLOOR, BUT YOU'LL HAVE THREE UPPER STORY SIGNS IS WHAT'S THERE'S AT LEAST THAT MANY ON THE KELLER WILLIAMS BUILDING, AREN'T THERE.

I'M SORRY. THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE ON THE KELLER WILLIAMS BUILDING, AREN'T THERE? [INAUDIBLE].

SO THERE'S THESE HAVE BEEN A PERIOD OF ROBINSON IN THE CITY AND YOU GOT THE KELLER WILLIAMS.

[02:05:03]

YEAH. SO THAT'S AT LEAST THREE.

SO IT'S A SIMILAR IN STYLE AND SCOPE.

YES, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? MR. MEDICI.

YOU KNOW THE DRILL SIR. 22120 SHY AND PARK LANE.

NORMALLY I HAVE A LONG WINDED PRESENTATION, BUT GIVEN THE LATENESS OF THE HOUR AND THE FACT THAT KEN DID A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING ALL THESE DIFFERENT NUMBERS AND LETTERS UP THERE, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

AND WE'RE ALL DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU DON'T HAVE.

I'M SURE YOU ARE. BUT I WAS ABOUT TO TURN ON THE THREE MINUTE LIGHT, MY FRIEND.

NO ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT AT THIS POINT? I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE QUESTION. SO THE SIGNAGE AT I THINK IT'S YEAH.

D 12 THE RULES AND SAFETY SIGNAGE YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT UNIQUE, SPACE THERE WITH THE DRAGON AND THE COURTYARD AND ALL THAT.

WHAT HAVE YOU IDENTIFIED AS WHAT YOU'RE MEANING NEEDING TO WARN PEOPLE OR GIVE THEM RULES ABOUT THERE.

WE JUST WANT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN THEY'RE COMING ON TO THE STATE OF TEXAS PARK, THAT THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING IN THE WATER, THAT THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CLIMBING UP ON TOP OF THE DRAGON, THAT THE PLACE IS UNDER SURVEILLANCE.

WE HAVE 73 CAMERAS IN DISTRICT 114, AND WE HAVE NINE CAMERAS THAT ARE ON THE DRAGON ITSELF IN THAT AREA.

AND WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT.

WE I AM SHOCKED IN JUST NOW OVER ONE YEAR HOW FEW INCIDENTS WE HAVE HAD IN THAT PARK.

I WAS SCARED TO DEATH A YEAR AGO, WHICH IS WHY WE INVESTED SO HEAVILY IN, YOU KNOW, THE SECURITY AND MAKING SURE THAT IT WAS SURVEILLED APPROPRIATELY.

BUT THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE AND ITS RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN UNBELIEVABLE.

SO I'VE BEEN VERY HAPPY, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE RULES ARE CLEARLY OUTLINED.

MAKE SENSE. THANK YOU.

DON'T CLIMB ON THE DRAGON.

IT'S GOOD ADVICE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NO, I WAS JUST SAYING THAT MY WIFE INFORMED ME THAT HER FRIEND, PAM'S HUSBAND, HAS A STARBUCKS IN HIS NEW BUILDING.

I'M SORRY? A WHAT? HER FRIEND PAM'S HUSBAND HAS A STARBUCKS IN HIS BUILDING? THAT'S CORRECT. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

YES. NO, I DIDN'T KNOW.

I MEAN, SHE WAS LITERALLY TELLING OUR OLDEST WHO IS, YOU KNOW, IS DRIVING.

YEAH. THAT HE HAS A STARBUCKS THERE.

AND I WAS LIKE, OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE IS.

SO I'M HAPPY ABOUT THE SIGNAGE BECAUSE AS WE'VE TALKED BEFORE, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT'S THERE.

I MEAN, WE SEE THE DRAGON, WE KNOW SOME OF THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE SOME OF THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE THERE.

BUT I THINK IT'S COOL TO FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE BUSINESS OF THE BUSINESSES THAT YOU HAVE THERE.

SO. WELL. AND ALSO, I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE SORT OF LATE COMING IN FRONT OF YOU FOR OUR MASTER SIGN PLAN.

BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE, GIVEN THIS BUILDING AND WE DID, I THINK WE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF HIDING THE PARKING GARAGE IN THE BACK.

WE DID SUCH A GREAT JOB OF HIDING THE PARKING GARAGE IN THE BACK THAT NOBODY KNOWS THAT THERE'S A PARKING GARAGE BACK THERE.

SO THAT'S WHY MOST OF THOSE SIGNS THAT YOU SEE THERE ARE REALLY SORT OF DIRECTING FOLKS TO SORT OF GET WHERE THEY NEED TO GO BECAUSE THEY'RE HAVING A HARD TIME SORT OF UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A BIG FOUR STORY PARKING GARAGE TUCKED IN BEHIND.

SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THAT FOR SURE.

IN TO YOUR POINT, WE ONLY HAVE THREE UPPER STORY SIGNS, JUST LIKE THE OTHER BUILDING.

AND I'M PRETTY ADAMANT ABOUT ALL THE SIGNS BEING REVERSE ILLUMINATED.

I WANT THEM CLASSY AND ONLY ONE PER FACADE.

SO TO COUNCIL MEMBER LESS, YOU KNOW, CONCERN OR QUESTION THERE, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL JUST BE ONE ON 114, ONE ON CHERRY AND THEN ONE INTERNALLY FACING THE DEVELOPMENT.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO STICKER THIS LIKE A NASCAR BUILDING FOR SURE.

BUT OF COURSE, THE THING THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT IS, YOU KNOW, WHERE KIMBALL PARK ONLY HAD TWO FIRST STORY SIGNS WITH INDEPENDENCE TITLE AND LIBERTY MUTUAL.

WE DO HAVE A RETAIL COMPONENT TO THIS BUILDING, AND IT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE RETAIL TENANTS WITHOUT HAVING SOME FIRST STORY SIGNAGE.

BUT FOR SURE.

SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, BUT I DO WANT TO ENLIGHTEN COUNCILMEMBER SMITH AND LET HIM KNOW THAT JEFF MEDICI'S PARTIAL STARBUCKS MUG COLLECTION IS ON DISPLAY AT THE NEW STARBUCKS.

AND IT'S PRETTY COOL.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO PAY TO VISIT.

YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS, BUT ME AND MR. MEDICI SERVED ON THE ZBA FOR FOUR YEARS AND I SAW HIS COLLECTION YEARS AGO.

WELL COUNCIL FIELD TRIP TO STARBUCKS, I CANT WAIT.

IT'S STILL GROWING. IT'S STILL GROWING.

AND IF STARBUCKS HAD IF THEY LET ME, I WOULD HAVE PUT ALL 450 MUGS IN THERE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT.

SO IT'S ALL. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THANK YOU, MR. MEDICI . I APPRECIATE IT.

SO THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT IF ANYBODY HERE WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NINE C, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE A COMMENT.

SEEING NONE IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION COUNCIL, IS THERE MOTION? YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM NINE C OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS MSP22-0002 MASTER SIGN PLAN FOR DISTRICT 114 LOCATED AT 2102

[02:10:07]

EAST STATE HIGHWAY 114 SOUTH LAKE, TEXAS, SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED AUGUST 9TH, 2022, IN APPROVING PER THE SIGNED RECOMMENDATIONS.

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

NINE C PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

CONGRATULATIONS WITH THAT MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE, WHICH IS THE 20 20033 PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR CARILLON PARK DIRECTOR BAKER.

[9. D. ZA22-0033, Preliminary Plat for Carillon Pare on property described as Tracts 1, 1D, 1E, 1F, 1G, 3A, 3A01, 3A03, 3A04, 3A04A, 3A05, and 3A01B, Larkin H. Chivers Survey, Abstract No. 300, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1775, 1781 and 1801 N. White Chapel Blvd., 1840 Riviera Ln., 201 E. Kirkwood Blvd., 1700 N.

Kirkwood Blvd., west of Riviera Ln., and north of E. State Hwy. 114. Current Zoning: "ECZ" Employment Center Zoning District. SPIN Neighborhood #3. ]

MAYOR, COUNCIL. THIS REQUEST IS APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE CAROLINE PARK.

THE PLAT COVERS 42.51 ACRES AND CONTAINS LOTS FOR MIXED USE.

DEVELOPMENT A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL RETAIL, RESTAURANT OFFICE, HOTEL, RESIDENTIAL LOFTS, LIBRARY, PARCEL FEATURE LIBRARY AND PERFORMANCE ARTS PARKS OPEN SPACE ALL WITHIN THE CARILLON DEVELOPMENT ADDRESS AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF WHITE CHAPEL AND STATE HIGHWAY 114.

I THINK COUNCIL IS AWARE OF THE LOCATION.

THIS IS THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

STAFF HAS REVIEWED IT AND DETERMINED THAT THE PARK DEDICATION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOCUMENT AND REFLECTS WHAT WAS APPROVED AS PART OF YOUR ZONING.

THE DOES INCLUDE AN OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE PLAN WHICH COULD BE FINALIZED OR CHANGE IN 380.

AGREEMENT DOES INDICATE THE STREETS AND BE LOCATED IN THE SINGLE FAMILY MAINTAINED BY THE HOA.

THERE IS A NOTE THAT THE WANTS THE LIBRARY AND THE PERFORMANCE ART IS LOCATED THAT THERE WILL BE ACCESS PROVIDED TO THAT FACILITY THAT WILL BE DETERMINED AS WE GO THROUGH THE PLANNING OF THOSE TWO FACILITIES.

THIS IS THE RESIDENTIAL PLAT OF THE STARK LINE IS A MATCH LINE TO THE COMMERCIAL OR NON RESIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

AS MENTIONED, STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PARK DEDICATION REFLECTS THE ZONING DOCUMENT IS CONSISTENT.

THERE IS ONE MODIFICATION TO YOUR APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THAT'S THE ALLEY THAT'S BEHIND THE FIVE VILLA LOTS SHOWN ON THE SOUTH EASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

THAT ALLEY ON DEVELOPMENT PLAN CAME IN AND THERE WERE SHOWED A TURN AROUND OR A HAMMERHEAD INTERNAL.

THIS PROPOSAL TAKES THAT ALLEY AND RUNS IT BACK TO RIVERA AND CONNECTS INTO THAT ROADWAY.

AND SO COUNCIL CAN APPROVE THAT.

BUT THAT IS A MODIFICATION TO THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

THESE ARE THE THREE OPTIONS THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.

THE RED OPTION IS THE PREFERRED OPTION.

YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THESE PHOTOS SHOWING ACROSS THE STREET AND SOME LARGE PHOTOS.

BACK TO THE BACK TO THE EAST.

AND THIS IS LOOKING.

BACK TO THE WEST.

AND SO THAT ALLEY WOULD COME IN ABOUT WHERE THIS ARROW IS SHOWN ON THE RED ALIGNMENT.

AND THEN THE OTHER TWO OPTIONS WOULD BE EITHER NORTH OR SOUTH.

THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL PER THE ZONING.

SO THAT MEANT THE PARK ACREAGE AS SHOWN AND REALLY DEFERRED THE RECOMMENDATION ON THE ALLEY RELOCATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

THEY APPROVED THE PLAT WITHOUT APPROVING THAT ALLEY RELOCATION, BUT THE STATEMENT WAS THAT THEY WOULD LET COUNCIL DELIBERATE ON THAT PARTICULAR COMPONENT OF THE PLAT.

WITH THAT, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE. THANK YOU, GEORGE BAKER.

SO OTHER THAN THIS, THE LOCATION OF THIS ALLEY, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE FOR US TO KIND OF OPINE ON AS FAR AS THE PLAT IS CONCERNED? NO, THE REST OF THE APPROVAL IS MINISTERIAL NATURE, SO THE ONLY MODIFICATION OR DEVIATION FROM THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS THIS POTENTIAL RELOCATION OR RECONFIGURATION OF THE ALLEY OK AND OK.

[02:15:04]

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF VETERAN APPLICANTS TODAY.

COME ON DOWN, SIR.

JOHN CARROLL, 1710 HUNTERS CREEK.

THE WE MADE HIM A LITTLE BIT OF AN ERROR IN NOT COMMUNICATING BEFORE THE P AND Z WITH MARY LEE ALFORD. SO SHE ACTUALLY SPOKE AND HAD A FEW COMMENTS AT P AND Z BECAUSE SHE JUST WASN'T AWARE OF SOME OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS.

SO WE MET IMMEDIATELY AFTER P AND Z.

AND JUST IN A NUTSHELL, I WON'T READ TO YOU WHAT SHE WROTE, BUT SHE'S PLEASED.

BUT SHE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS COMMUNICATED TO COUNCIL, THAT THEY WANTED TO ASSURE THAT THERE WERE RESIDENCES FACING THE RIVIERA HOMES NORTH OF PALLADIAN, WHICH, AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT IS ADDRESSED.

SHE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE FROM A CAROLINE RESIDENCE EXISTING THAT THE ANY KIND OF DEVELOPMENT OF A BUILDING LIKE THE LIBRARY AND PERFORMING ARTS WOULD CONSIDER BOTH FACADES, BOTH THE EAST AND WEST THAT FACES ONTO THE PARK, AND THAT THERE WOULD BE ALMOST TWO FRONTS TO THOSE BUILDINGS SO THAT THE RESIDENCES TO THE EAST WOULD COME IN.

THAT'S NOT REALLY PART OF THIS.

THAT WAS A COMMENT SHE MADE AND WANTED ME TO COMMUNICATE THAT.

AND THEN AS IT RELATES TO THESE THREE OPTIONS, THEY WERE MUCH HAPPIER WITH RED, WHICH IS OPTION NUMBER TWO.

THE PURPLE KIND OF ALIGNS WITH WINDOWS OF RESIDENCES COMING IN AND OUT.

THE GREEN ENDS UP BEING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CORRIDOR OF PALLADIAN, WHICH IS KIND OF ANCHORED AT ONE END BY THEIR CLUBHOUSE.

AND THEY WANT THAT CLEAR VIEW.

SO THEY WOULD PREFER NOT TO HAVE THE ALLEYWAY COMING INTO PALLADIAN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

THEY LIKE IT OFFSET WHERE IT IS AT THE RED.

IT DOESN'T IMPACT FROM A LIGHT STANDPOINT.

AND ONE OF THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS OF DOING THIS TWO FOLD.

ONE IS THAT FROM A CITY SERVICES STANDPOINT, THE TRASH VEHICLES, ETC., INSTEAD OF COMING IN AND THEN HAVING TO BACK UP AND BEEPING LIGHTS OR NOISES AND SO FORTH, THIS ALLOWS THE CITY VEHICLES TO GET THROUGH THAT ALLEY AND OUT WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE A TURN AROUND BACK THERE.

ADDITIONALLY, IT ALSO ALIGNS AND KEEPS THE HAMMERHEAD OUT OF WHERE IF WE EXTEND A ROADWAY TO SERVICE THE LIBRARY AND PERFORMING ARTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CONDOS OVER RETAIL, WE COULD POTENTIALLY EXTEND THAT ROADWAY DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND PROVIDE A FRONT ROAD AND UTILITIES FOR THOSE BUILDINGS IF THEY ARE END UP BEING BUILT AT THAT LOCATION.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE.

THAT WAS ALSO THE COMMENTS THAT WE ADDRESSED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD REPRESENTATIVE, MARY LEE, AND SHE WAS SATISFIED WITH THOSE.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THIS.

YES, MR. TERRELL, SO YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THE READ JUST BASED ON THE ALIGNMENT OF THE HOMES THAT ACTUALLY DOESN'T CAUSE LIGHT POLLUTION FOR.

THAT'S CORRECT. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE THREE VISUALS OVER ON THE SIDE, THE MIDDLE ONE SHOWS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY WHEN THEY COME OUT, THEY'RE GOING TO BE FACING THAT SIDE YARD JUST OFFSET FROM THE STREET.

SO THEIR LIGHTS ARE GOING TO BE GOING JUST RIGHT DOWN THE STREET AND NOT INTO THE HOUSE.

OKAY, GOTCHA.

OKAY. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SO YOU'RE SAYING THE COMMUNITY PREFERS RED AS WELL? YES. MARY LEE, WHO'S I? WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT WITH ALL THE COMMUNITY, BUT MARY LEE, WHO'S BEEN REPRESENTING THEM IS BASICALLY SAID THEY PREFER RED.

OK. I'D LIKE TO HEAR SOME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH. SOMEONE THAT HAS MORE TRAFFIC EXPERIENCE THAN I DO WITH THIS BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT A STOP SIGN COMING IN OFF PALLADIAN ONTO RIVIERA.

CORRECT. I'VE PLAYED INTO RIVIERA.

CORRECT. NO STOP SIGNS ON RIVIERA.

IT'S NOT A THREE WAY STOP, IT'S A ONE WAY STOP RIGHT NOW.

CORRECT. SO MY CONCERN WITH RED IS THAT IT'S DUMPING INTO NOT AN INTERSECTION, BUT RIGHT NEXT TO AN INTERSECTION.

AND HOW ARE YOU GOING? I MEAN, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THAT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY ODD TRAFFIC SPOT, I THINK, FOR FOLKS COMING OUT OF THERE.

TWO THINGS ABOUT THAT IS I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT A CHALLENGING BUT YOU'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THAT ALLEYWAY SERVES FIVE LOTS SO THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC ON A DAILY BASIS IS ALMOST NONE.

[02:20:03]

IT'LL BE A COUPLE OF TIMES, PROBABLY A DAY OF THOSE FIVE HOUSES COMING OUT.

AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A PRETTY EASY TRAFFIC.

A SITUATION AT THAT LOCATION.

YEAH. I UNDERSTAND WHAT COUNCILMAN ROBBINS IS SAYING THAT WOULD CATCH MY EYE IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT THE FIRST THING I LOOKED AT WAS THE FIVE LOTS THAT.

IT'S JUST SUCH A LIGHT USE THERE.

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, BUT IT IS A BIT AWKWARD, BUT IT CERTAINLY THE USAGE IS SO LIGHT, YOU KNOW, IS THE PLAN TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE SIDE LINE DOWN PLATING AND GOING TO THE WEST? WELL, IT WAS ALWAYS THE PART YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHERE THE GREEN IS.

WELL, NO YOU SAID YOU WANT TO KEEP THE SIDELINE OPEN, RIGHT? SO IF YOU TURN WEST AND GO DOWN, PLATING, SHOOTING TOWARDS THE CIRCLE PARK, YOU'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING VISUALLY CATCHING ON THAT WE KIND OF MAY BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING THAT IS A LEFT TURN ONLY SO THAT THEY'RE NOT CUTTING ACROSS DIAGONALLY IN THAT INTERSECTION.

I'M SURE THAT EVEN IF THERE'S A SIGN THERE, SOMEBODY'S GOING TO TRY TO DO THAT.

BUT I'VE DRIVEN OVER THERE SO MANY TIMES AND THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC AT PALLADIAN AND RIVIERA IS THERE.

THERE'S HARDLY ANYBODY THERE.

YEAH, SURE. I APPRECIATE THE DESIRE TO KEEP THAT SIDELINE CLEAR, TOO.

AND I FORGOT ONE OF THE KEY POINTS THAT MARY LEE HAD ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE SHE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT THERE WILL STILL NEVER BE ACCESS BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL AND THE RESIDENTIAL ON THE RIVIERA.

AND WE BASICALLY ASSURED HER THAT THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE INTENT.

AND I THINK IT'S THE SAME WITH THE CITY ACCESS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU MEAN VEHICULAR ACCESS? VEHICULAR ACCESS IN TERMS OF CONNECTING A ROADWAY FROM THE COMMERCIAL SIDE ONTO RIVIERA WILL NOT OCCUR.

YEAH. YEAH. YOU WOULDN'T THINK, YOU WOULDN'T WANT THAT TO BE THE TRAFFIC.

NO. AND THE RESIDENTS CLEARLY DO NOT FOR SURE.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE WALKABLE COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW.

OKAY, JOHN, I APOLOGIZE IF THIS IS IN HERE SOMEWHERE.

I MEAN, SUPER DETAILED, OF COURSE.

ARE YOU GOING TO ENCOURAGE ONE WAY TRAFFIC DOWN THOSE ALLEYWAYS OR IS IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SIGNAGE IN THAT DIRECTION IN OR FROM STREET E AND COME DOWN AND THEN COME OUT AT THE OTHER LOCATION AND THE SAME WITH THE OTHER ALLEYS IT'LL BE OR THE OTHER AND WE CAN ACTUALLY DO IT EITHER WAY.

SO IF FROM, FOR INSTANCE, IF STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT IT COME IN FROM KIND OF THE PALLADIAN SIDE AND THEN COME UP TO ST E TO EXIT, WE COULD PROBABLY DO THAT TOO.

WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS THE SAFEST ROUTE AT THAT LOCATION.

BUT FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR TWO WAY TRAFFIC WHEN THE TRUCK, THE TRASH TRUCK IS THERE.

SO IT'LL BE ONE WAY ALLEY.

AND YOU SAID YOU'LL HAVE SIGNAGE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO ONE WAY, RIGHT? YEAH. WELL AND, THERE'LL BE A SIGNAGE DEAL ONE WAY AND THE RESIDENCES WILL KNOW ONCE THEY START GOING TOO WAY BY ACCIDENT AND GET STUCK THERE AND HAVE TO BACK, THEY WON'T DO IT AGAIN.

YEAH. OKAY.

GREAT. SO.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT, SIR.

OKAY. SO ITEM 90 IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING.

IT'S A PRELIMINARY PLOT.

AND WE DO NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE DRIVEWAY.

SO ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT? I MEAN, I'LL BE HONEST, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DEVELOPER'S SUGGESTION FOR IT TO BE READ.

ANYBODY HAVE A STRONG BURNING DESIRE TO ARGUE OTHERWISE? ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? WELL, I AM CURIOUS BECAUSE THE LAST COMMENT YOU MADE ABOUT MARY LEE SAID THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CONNECT ANYTHING.

BUT I THOUGHT DURING ONE OF HIS PROPOSAL THINGS, THEY COULD CONTINUE THIS DRIVEWAY DOWN IN FRONT OF THE FUTURE PERFORMING ARTS AND LIBRARY, WHICH WOULD BY DEFAULT CONNECT, CORRECT? NO, ACTUALLY. SO LET ME JUST [INAUDIBLE] THE OVERALL MAP THAT I CAN KIND OF SHOW THEM WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I DON'T KNOW WHICH LIGHT IT IS THAT SHOWS THE WHOLE THING THERE.

NO, NOT THAT ONE. THAT'S GOOD.

THANK YOU. SO RIGHT NOW, THIS GREEN ROAD THAT RUNS ALONG THIS NORTH SIDE, WE COULD ACTUALLY TAKE IT DOWN THROUGH HERE.

UNLESS THAT HAMMERHEAD BLOCKS THIS, WE CAN TAKE IT DOWN THROUGH AND CONNECT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THIS ROAD SOMEWHERE.

IT WOULD NOT CONNECT OVER TO RIVIERA.

IT WOULD BE A KIND OF A CIRCLE AROUND THE INTERIOR DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT WOULD PROVIDE THE LIBRARY AND A PERFORMING ARTS WITH TWO FRONT FACES AND ALLOW EASE OF ACCESS ONCE YOU GET INTO THE PARK TO GET TO BOTH OF THOSE OTHER BUILDINGS.

[02:25:01]

AND THAT WAS SOMETHING WE TRIED TO COME UP WITH BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT'S A CONCERN IN TERMS OF ACCESSIBILITY TO THAT LOCATION AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO BRING IN UTILITIES AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THAT. WELL, JOHN, SPEAKING OF ACCESSIBILITY, I WOULD THINK THAT I DON'T KNOW THE RULES FOR THAT.

SO I'M SORRY.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RULES FOR.

SO FOR ACCESSIBILITY, DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A DRIVE UP TO THE LIBRARY AND PERFORMING ARTS CENTER FOR IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SO THERE IS A WAY.

FOR INSTANCE, WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY TALKED ABOUT WAS THE OFFICE BUILDING AND LIBRARY THAT WOULD THEN HAVE A PARKING GARAGE THAT SERVICED THOSE.

I MEANT SPECIAL NEEDS ACCESSIBILITY.

OH, YEAH. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A ROAD THAT COMES UP TO THE BUILDING.

WE CAN HAVE ALL THOSE SPECIAL NEEDS AND ALL OF THAT REGARDLESS OF HOW WE DO IT.

I WILL BE CURIOUS TO SEE KIND OF THE CREATIVITY YOU GUYS COME UP WITH ON GETTING THAT ROAD THROUGH THERE, BECAUSE BY THE TIME THOSE FIVE HOMES GO IN THERE WITH AN ALLEY BEHIND THEM, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A ROADWAY RIGHT ADJACENT TO SO.

SO JUST SO YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE'VE ALREADY STARTED SOME THINGS BECAUSE WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO AND AGAIN, THIS ISN'T REALLY THE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT DEAL BUT AS WE START AND THE CITY SELECTS ITS TASK FORCE FOR LOOKING AT HOW THAT AREA IS GOING TO BE DESIGNED, WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO FIGURE OUT POSSIBLY NOT DOING THE CENTER PARK IN A CIRCLE, SQUEEZING IT A LITTLE BIT AND DOING IT IN AN OVAL SO THAT IT EXTENDS A LITTLE FURTHER TO THE SOUTH, PROVIDING MORE SPACE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CENTRAL PARK AND GIVING YOU A FOOTPRINT AREA FOR THOSE BUILDINGS AND STILL ALLOW A ROADWAY ON THE EAST SIDE.

THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW THAT KIND OF STUFF WOULD LAY OUT.

BUT IT WILL BE KIND OF CRITICAL TO GET TOGETHER SOON AND START TALKING ABOUT OPTIONS.

WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF JUMP OUT AND PROVIDE SOMETHING THAT IS SOME VISUALS TO BE DISCUSSED AND REALLY OPINED ON RATHER THAN JUST KIND OF, SORRY, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? HEY, GUYS.

[INAUDIBLE] WHEN THE DEVELOPER IS TALKING, CAN WE KEEP THE SIDE CONVERSATIONS TO A MINIMUM, PLEASE? YEAH, GO AHEAD. WILL YOU SAY THAT AGAIN.

I MISSED WHICH PART? I'M SORRY.

THE LAST COUPLE OF SENTENCES.

I THINK THAT WE JUST NEED TO FOCUS ON MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT A TASK FORCE KIND OF READY TO GO.

WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING SOME STEPS TO KIND OF IN ADVANCE INSTEAD OF JUST STARTING FROM SCRATCH WITH THE TASK FORCE AND DEVELOPER WILL PROVIDE.

SINCE WE HAVE AN INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW EVERYTHING CAN LAY OUT, I THINK WE CAN START WITH SOME VISUALS OF WHAT MIGHT WORK AND THEN GET OPINING FROM CITY, THE TEAM THAT WE PUT TOGETHER.

BUT IT WILL BE CRITICAL THAT WE KIND OF PULL THAT TEAM TOGETHER SOON.

YEAH, STAFF'S WORKING ON IT.

YEAH, OUR TIME FRAME IS.

AND I KNOW ALLISON YEAH, BECAUSE THIS IS IRRELEVANT TONIGHT.

WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS YOU'RE BASICALLY TALKING ABOUT TAKING A STREET RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK, SO.

RIGHT. AND SO THAT IT CAN HAPPEN.

IT THIS IS A RESPONSE TO THE CITY'S DESIRE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GAINS GOOD ACCESS.

IT IS NOT A THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

THIS IS AN ALTERNATIVE THAT CAN SHOW.

AND SO IF YOU DID THAT, YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, THIS IS GOING INTO A LOT MORE DETAIL ON A PRELIMINARY PLAT, BUT IF YOU BUILD ONE BUILDING HERE AND LET'S SAY ONE BUILDING HERE AND THIS BECOMES YOUR KIND OF YOU CORRIDOR DOWN AND YOU CREATE A REALLY SPECIAL ACCESS, PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND VEHICULAR ACCESS, AND YOU MAINTAIN THIS AS YOUR PASSIVE AREA OF PARK.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU PUT IN TWO BUILDINGS IN THERE AND NOT IMPACT THAT SIDE OF THE PARK.

AND THEN THE QUESTION IS ACCESSIBILITY.

AND THAT'S UP TO THE CITY WE PREVIOUSLY TALKED TO.

OUT AGAIN.

OFFICE AND HOTEL, UP FRONT, LIBRARY AND PERFORMING ARTS.

AT THE TIME IT WAS ONE BUILDING THAT FACED ONTO THE PARK AND WOULD HAVE A SHARED PARKING IN THE GARAGE AND ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH THAT GARAGE TO THOSE FACILITIES. IT CAN BE DONE EITHER WAY.

IT'S TO BE DISCUSSED AS A DEVELOPMENT TEAM WITH THE CITY AND WE'RE CERTAINLY OPEN.

THAT WAS SIMPLY AN OPTION TO WRITE, TO ADDRESS AN ISSUE THE CITY HAD.

AND WE'VE DONE THAT. AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST WHERE WE HAVE NICE PACED WORKING GROUPS TO REALLY THINK THROUGH THE OPTIONS AND MAKE GOOD DECISIONS.

NOT UNDER THE PRESSURE OF ON THE DAIS.

KNOW IT'S LIKE WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION TONIGHT KIND OF THING.

[02:30:01]

IT'S HAVING THOSE, THOSE WORKING GROUPS WHERE IT'S ABOUT BRAINSTORMING.

IT'S WHERE WE MAKE WISE GUIDANCE TO BRING TO THE COUNCIL.

YEAH, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE DECIDING TONIGHT.

I JUST WANT TO BE SEEING LOTS OF DRAWINGS AND DISCUSSION, ETC., LOTS OF DISCUSSION UPCOMING ON THAT.

NO, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. FOR PURPOSES OF THE ALLEY, ARE WE ALL WE ALL GOOD.

GOOD. QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MR. DARRELL. OKAY.

THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION. I'LL TAKE A MOTION.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE.

[10. A. FY 2023 Proposed Budget - Strategic Investments and Capital Improvements Program ]

FY 2023 PROPOSED BUDGET, STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS IN MS..

YELVERTON YOU THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 20 MINUTES, 20 MINUTES OR SO.

WE'RE GOING TO POWER THROUGH THIS THING, COUNCIL.

TAKE IT AWAY. TONIGHT WE BEGIN OUR DISCUSSION ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

AND I JUST WANT TO BEGIN BY APPRECIATING THE TIME AND ATTENTION THAT COUNCIL IS PUTTING INTO THIS PLAN.

IT'S A VERY LARGE DOCUMENT, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ALONG THE WAY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US.

THE STAFF, OF COURSE, HAS BEEN WORKING HARD ON THIS FOR MONTHS AND WE'RE READY TO WORK WITH YOU ON THIS.

AS WE BEGIN OUR DISCUSSION TONIGHT, I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT THESE GUIDING PRINCIPLES HAVE BEEN USED TO PULL THE BUDGET TOGETHER, AND THESE WERE PUT INTO PLACE SEVERAL YEARS AGO TO PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR US AS WE BEGAN TO THINK THROUGH OPTIONS AND PROPOSALS THAT WE WANTED TO BRING TO YOU.

AND THIS HAS NOW BECOME A FULL FLEDGED PART OF OUR BUDGET CULTURE.

SO AS WE GO THROUGH THIS EVENING'S PRESENTATION, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW THE BUDGET AS PROPOSED ADDRESSES THESE GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

AND I'LL INTRODUCE SHARON JACKSON, OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, TO KICK IT OFF.

THANK YOU. WE WILL BEGIN WITH A VERY HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW WITH EVERYONE'S FAVORITE SUBJECT OF TAXATION.

AND THIS YEAR, THE TAXABLE VALUE INCREASED BY 10%, WHICH AFFORDED US THE OPPORTUNITY.

WE WERE GIVEN THAT BACK BY A TAX RATE REDUCTION THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IN THE BUDGET OF $0.03.

SO THE PROPOSED TAX RATE IN THE BUDGET IS 0.36.

AGAIN, BY GIVING BACK THE GROWTH THAT WE RECEIVED IN THE TAX TAXABLE VALUE, WE'RE ALSO MAINTAINING THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION AT 20%, WHICH IS THE STATE MAXIMUM THAT'S ALLOWED, COUPLED WITH MAINTAINING THE DISABLED AND OVER 65 EXEMPTIONS OF 75,000 AND THE SENIOR TAX FREEZE.

NEXT IS THE BREAKDOWN.

A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL OF THE TAX RATE REDUCTION AS THE CURRENT TAX RATE IS 0.39.

THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE, ALSO PREVIOUSLY KNOWN, REFERRED TO AS THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE, IS JUST OVER 36.

SO THE PROPOSED TAX RATE IS BELOW THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE, WHICH ESSENTIALLY IS ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT THAT.

WE'RE GIVING BACK THE GROWTH OF THE INCREASE IN THE PROPERTY VALUES BACK TO THE TAXPAYERS IN THE FORM OF A TAX RELIEF BY REDUCING THE TAX RATE.

AND THAT REVENUE REDUCTION FOR THE TAX RATE REDUCTION IS JUST OVER 2.7 MILLION TO THE CITY.

IN ANOTHER WAY.

WE'RE ALSO MAINTAINING THE 20% HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION AND BASED ON THE AVERAGE VALUE OF AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE IN SOUTHLAKE, THAT REDUCES OUR VALUE JUST OVER 176,000 OFF THE TOP BEFORE APPLYING THE TAX RATE.

AND THAT SETS AN ADDITIONAL TAX RATE EQUIVALENT OF 7.2, WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE EFFECTIVE EQUIVALENT TAX RATE DOWN TO

[02:35:05]

0.288. THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION DOES REDUCE THE CITY'S OVERALL TAX REVENUE JUST OVER 5 MILLION.

IT'S A 5.1 MILLION REDUCTION IN TAXABLE REVENUE.

THIS IS ANOTHER WAY OF JUST BREAKING DOWN THE LOOKING AT THE TAX RELIEF THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

AGAIN, THE PROPOSED RATE IS 0.36, BUT ONCE YOU APPLIED THE TAX RATE EQUIVALENT FOR THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, THAT REDUCES THAT TAX RATE EQUIVALENT TO 0.288.

AND THE ANNUAL TAX BILL, BASED ON THE AVERAGE VALUE OF HOME IN SOUTH LAKE, WOULD BE JUST OVER 2500, WHICH IS VERY COMPARABLE TO THE AVERAGE TAX BILL FOR THE CATHOLIC RESIDENTS OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS.

SO KEEPING THE TAXABLE TAX, CITY TAX BILL COMPARABLE.

AND EVEN WITH THE TAX RATE REDUCTION AND RETAINING ALL OF THE EXEMPTIONS, WE ARE STILL ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE FUND BALANCE FOR THE GENERAL FUND AT THE OPTIMUM LEVEL.

AND AS WE'VE DONE IN PREVIOUS YEARS, ANYTHING ABOVE THAT OPTIMUM LEVEL IS TRANSFERRED TO THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVE FUND, AND THAT'S NO DIFFERENT IN THIS BUDGET THAT WILL ALLOW US THE ABILITY TO PAY CASH FOR SOME OF OUR CSP PROJECTS.

HERE'S A QUICK LOOK AT THE OVERALL OPERATING EXPENSES.

THAT'S IN THE 23 PROPOSED BUDGET, WHICH IS JUST OVER 117 MILLION.

AND AGAIN, AS IN PRIOR YEARS, THIS IS A ONE YEAR LOOK AT THE BUDGET.

BUT WHEN DEVELOPING THE BUDGET IS A MULTI YEAR LOOK THAT WE LOOK TO ENSURE THAT THIS IS A SUSTAINABLE BUDGET WITH A FIVE YEAR LOOK.

AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, WE HAVE PART OF OUR COST CONTAINMENT STRATEGY.

WE KEEP OUR EXISTING SERVICES AT THE BELOW THE CPI TO KEEP OUR ORGANIC GROWTH FOR EXISTING SERVICES.

AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS 8.4, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY BELOW THE CPI FOR THE DFW AREA.

HOWEVER, THE GENERAL FUND DID INCREASE A SLIGHTLY OVER 10%, AND THAT GAP OF THE 1.8% IS RELATED TO ITS SERVICE ENHANCEMENTS OR THE FEDERAL STATE MANDATES THAT ARE UNFUNDED.

SO THE OVERALL INCREASE IN THE GENERAL FUND IS 10.2%.

AND AGAIN, FOR EXISTING SERVICES, THIS IS SLIGHTLY BELOW THE DFW CPI AVERAGE.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT THE FUNDS THAT ARE ABOVE THE STRATEGIC THE FUNDS ABOVE THE OPTIMUM LEVEL FOR FUND BALANCE IS TRANSFERRED INTO THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVE FUND, AND THAT'S NO DIFFERENT.

IN THIS BUDGET. WE ARE MAKING A TRANSFER OF CASH TO THE CFP FROM THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVE FUND TO FUND THE PROPERTY TAX PORTION OF THE A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY TAX CFP.

HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE A PORTION OF THAT.

THAT WILL BE WE WILL ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, BUT PART OF OUR DEBT STRATEGY WILL BE SHORTER TERM AMORTIZATION FOR THOSE CEOS THAT COUNCIL WILL BE APPROVING LATER IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2023.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE STILL WILL HAVE LESS THAN 100% OF OUR PROPERTY TAX SUPPORTED DEBT WILL BE PAID OFF IN LESS THAN TEN YEARS.

AND THAT'S ALSO INCLUDING WITH THE UPCOMING CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS THAT WE WILL ISSUE IN 2030, THAT WE'LL STILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT MATRIX, WHICH IS THE KEY MATRIX.

AS WITH ALL THE OTHER YEARS, THE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS ARE STRATEGICALLY ALIGNED WITH THE VERY WELL STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND IN THE NEXT SLIDES YOU WILL SEE JUST HOW WE ARE MEETING THOSE STRATEGIC GOALS.

AND SO NOW I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ALISON BARTOWSKI.

THANK YOU, SHARON.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE ALWAYS LOOK AT IS THAT STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT THAT CFO JACKSON REFERRED TO.

AND SAFETY AND SECURITY MAKES UP A VERY LARGE PART OF OUR ANNUAL BUDGET INVESTMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 23.

ONE PRIORITY FOCUS IS SCHOOL SAFETY AND THE ONGOING FUNDING OF OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER PROGRAM.

AND THIS YEAR WE ARE PROPOSING TO EXPAND THIS DIVISION WITH THREE ADDITIONAL OFFICERS AND A DIVISION CAPTAIN.

THE BUDGET IS ALSO PREPARED ANNUALLY WITH THE IDEA OF ENSURING THAT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PROFESSIONALS HAVE THE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS THAT THEY NEED TO DO THEIR JOBS.

THIS BUDGET IS NO EXCEPTION.

IT INCLUDES FUNDING FOR EQUIPMENT LIKE NEW RADIOS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT FOR POLICE AND FIRE.

BUT WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING SOME TRAFFIC SAFETY RELATED EQUIPMENT AND STAFF CHANGES TO ASSIST WITH TRAFFIC SAFETY.

WE ALSO LEARNED DURING THE FEBRUARY 2021 WINTER STORM THAT THE WATER SYSTEM SUPPLY FROM FORT WORTH CAN EXPERIENCE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, WHICH COULD HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES ON OUR FIRE RESPONSE.

AND LAST YEAR WE BUDGETED TO ADD A TANKER TRUCK TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

BUT SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES HAVE DELAYED THAT DELIVERY.

SO WE ARE HAVING TO RE BUDGET FOR CERTAIN ITEMS DUE TO THOSE SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES, CHANGE CHALLENGES.

THERE ARE OTHER PROJECTS AND EXPENSES COVERED AS WELL, RECOGNIZING THAT NOT ALL SAFETY INITIATIVES ARE RELATED TO POLICE AND FIRE.

[02:40:06]

QUALITY DEVELOPMENT HAS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A TOP PRIORITY FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, AND THIS BUDGET SUPPORTS THAT FOCUS AREA IN SEVERAL WAYS.

OF COURSE, THE BUDGET INCLUDES FUNDING TO PROMOTE QUALITY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH OUR WORK AND INVESTMENT THROUGH THE USE OF VARIOUS FUNDING SOURCES SUCH AS THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVE FUND, THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX AND PUBLIC ART FUNDS, AS WELL AS GENERAL FUNDS THAT ARE LEVIED ON TREE REMOVAL.

ADDITIONALLY, THE CITY HAS A FOCUS ON PARTNERSHIPS AND WE WORK WITH PARTNERS TO LEVERAGE BETTER SERVICE DELIVERY.

EXAMPLES ARE SHOWN ON THIS SCREEN AND INCLUDE HOW WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH CAROLINA SD.

OUR JOINT AND DISPATCH IS ALSO A GREAT EXAMPLE, AND WE HAVE MERGED OUR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES TO SAVE MONEY AND IMPROVE SERVICE.

AND FINALLY, OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES AGREEMENTS ALLOW US TO PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO OFFER SERVICES WE WOULDN'T OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO PROVIDE.

AND WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION LAUREN LINNEY TO STEP FORWARD TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROPOSED PUBLIC WORKS INVESTMENTS FOR OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM.

THANK YOU. FIRST UP, WE'LL TALK ABOUT MOBILITY.

GETTING FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER HAS ALWAYS BEEN A REALLY KEY ISSUE FOR OUR RESIDENTS ON THE CITIZEN SATISFACTION SURVEY, AND IT IS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THIS YEAR'S FY 23 PROPOSED BUDGET. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE, THIS SHOWS KEY PROJECTS THAT WE'RE UNDERTAKING IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET THIS YEAR.

UP IN THE GREEN BAR, YOU'LL SEE UP IN THE GREEN BLOCKS, YOU'LL SEE PROJECTS THAT ARE IN PRE-CONSTRUCTION.

THE GOAL IS GOING TO BE PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ONGOING CONSTRUCTION OR WILL BEGIN CONSTRUCTION IN 23.

AND THEN THE RED STAR INDICATES A NEW PROJECT THAT WAS ADDED TO THE CIP.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE, MOST OF THE PROJECTS ARE EXISTING ONGOING PROJECTS THAT WE WILL BE CONTINUING INTO THE FISCAL YEAR.

AND THIS BUDGET ALSO INCLUDES SIGNIFICANT NEIGHBORHOOD INVESTMENTS THROUGH OUR PMA PROGRAM AS WELL AS OUR SIDEWALK PATHWAYS PROGRAM.

AND THAT NEW THIS YEAR, WE ARE SETTING ASIDE AND MATCHING FUNDS TO CONTINUE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK MATCHING FUNDS PROGRAM.

LOOKING AT SIDEWALKS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER, WE'RE GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTING ABOUT 8000 LINEAR FEET OF SIDEWALKS IN THE COMING FISCAL YEAR.

ALL OF THESE SIDEWALK SEGMENTS ARE BASED ON THE MASTER PLAN, IMPLEMENTING TIER ONE AND TIER TWO RECOMMENDATIONS.

WE ARE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SIDEWALKS ARE THE HIGHLY DESIRED SIDEWALK SEGMENTS THAT ARE NOT ONLY CONNECTING NEIGHBORHOODS TO SCHOOLS, BUT ALSO CONNECTING NEIGHBORHOODS TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WAS ALSO MENTIONED IN THE CITIZEN SURVEY.

SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE HAD WITH SIDEWALK SEGMENTS INCLUDE GETTING RIGHT OF WAY OR MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED OF A SEGMENT TO CONNECT OVER A DRAINAGE EASEMENT OR THROUGH A KEY DRAINAGE AREA.

THIS FISCAL YEAR, WE PLAN TO CONSTRUCT MOST OF THESE SIDEWALK SEGMENTS ALONG WITH BIG OTHER PROJECTS, TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE, TO GIVE THE RESIDENTS THE BEST DOLLAR VALUE FOR THEIR MONEY.

LOOKING AT OUR WATER INVESTMENTS, OUR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALWAYS A TOP PRIORITY.

THESE PROJECTS ARE FUNDED OUT OF THE UTILITY FUND IN THE CIP.

THIS BUDGET INCLUDES NEW AND ONGOING PROJECTS AS WELL AS SET ASIDES FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.

THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS VERY ANXIOUS TO GET THESE GOING AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR LONG TERM INTEGRITY OF OUR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IS SOUND.

TAKING A LOOK AT OUR WASTEWATER INVESTMENTS.

THE CIP ALSO IMPROVES INCLUDES FUNDING TO IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

AS NOTED ON THIS SLIDE, ONE OF THE MAJOR INITIATIVES FOR OUR DEPARTMENT WILL BE TO INVEST IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OUR EROSION PROTECTION.

THIS WAS AN INITIATIVE THAT WAS STARTED THIS FISCAL YEAR.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS SLIDE, WE HAVE CURRENTLY FIVE PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDER DESIGN AND ARE MOVING TO CONSTRUCTION IN FY 23.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU'LL SEE THE PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE MOVING INTO DESIGN IN 23 AND MOVING INTO CONSTRUCTION IN 24.

RE STABILIZING EMBANKMENTS AROUND THESE MANHOLES AND SEWER MAINS, DRAINAGE AND CREEK CROSSING IS REALLY CRUCIAL TO MAKING SURE THAT OUR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IS MAINTAINED AND THAT WE MINIMIZE OUR SANITARY SEWER, SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOW RISK.

THIS PROGRAM IS ALSO FUNDED THROUGH THE UTILITY FUND AND IS VERY CRITICAL TO OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

TAKING A LOOK AT OUR STORMWATER INVESTMENTS.

THE STORMWATER PROGRAMS CAN EXPAND AND IMPROVE THE CITY'S DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE AND MANAGE THE FLOW OF STORMWATER THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

[02:45:08]

AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE FUNDING FOR THE NORTH WHITE CHAPEL BRIDGE REPLACEMENT AT THE KIRKWOOD BRANCH HAS BEEN SECURED AND WILL BE FUNDED 80% BY DENTON COUNTY.

THAT PROJECT IS VERY BIG AND IT'S A BIG ONE FOR THE CITY, SO WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING IT FORWARD AND WE'LL ALSO USE SOME OF THE STORMWATER FUNDING TO CONTINUE THE EROSION PROGRAM AS WELL AT SIMMONS COURT.

TAKING A LOOK AT OUR PARK INVESTMENTS, THE CITY IS GOING TO CONTINUE ITS AGGRESSIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SOUTHLAKE PARK PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN WITH THE ADOPTION OF THIS CIP.

SO THE PROJECT FUND HAS ESTABLISHED ALMOST $12 MILLION AS A SET ASIDE FOR THE SOUTH LAKE SPORTS COMPLEX.

WITH THIS BUDGET IN FY 23, WE'RE PROPOSING AN ADDITIONAL $4 MILLION FOR THIS PURPOSE THROUGH SPDC.

ALSO, YOU'LL SEE ON THIS SLIDE THAT SPDC WILL ALSO FUND THE REMAINING FUNDING NEEDED FOR THE MUCH DESIRED PICKLEBALL COMPLEX THIS YEAR.

MOVING INTO COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENTS.

IT'S OUR PRACTICE THAT WE'VE CONTINUED TO TAG FUNDS FOR THE PUBLIC ART FUND THROUGH THE CIP AND FY 2023 IS NO DIFFERENT. SO WE WILL BE SETTING ASIDE $100,000 FOR MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION FOR THE PUBLIC ART PROGRAM, AS WELL AS $50,000 TO CONTINUE OUR ADA IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO ENSURE THAT ALL CITY FACILITIES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.

TAKING A LOOK AT OUR FACILITIES INVESTMENTS.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, THIS BUDGET SETS ASIDE PROJECT FUNDING FOR NOT ONLY THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE CENTER, BUT ALSO THE LIBRARY AND MULTI-USE FACILITY, AS WELL AS THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER RELOCATION.

THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE CENTER IS PROJECTED TO ULTIMATELY COST ABOUT 36 MILLION, AND THE PROJECT FUND HAS ABOUT 23.8 MILLION SET ASIDE RIGHT NOW.

SO WITH THE EXTRA 9 MILLION, IT WILL BE CLOSE TO ACCUMULATING THE FUNDING THAT'S NEEDED TO PAY CASH FOR THIS FACILITY.

NOTE THAT MOST OF THE DOLLARS THAT ARE FUNDING THIS CASH ARE COMING FROM THE UTILITY FUND WITH $8.4 MILLION SET ASIDE IN FY 22 FOR THE LIBRARY AND $8.5 MILLION SET ASIDE IN FY 23.

THE LIBRARY AND MULTI-USE FUNDING MULTI USE PROJECT IS SETTING ASIDE QUITE A BIT OF FUNDING TO GET THAT PROJECT STARTED.

AND OF COURSE WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE OUR PARTNERS, THE CITY OF KELLER, THE TARRANT COUNTY BOND AND DENTON COUNTY FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE CIP BECAUSE IT'S REALLY PROVIDED SOME GREAT RELIEF TO OUR TAXPAYERS.

WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DIRECTOR OF HR, STACY BLACK.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. SO THE PROPOSED BUDGET ALSO INCLUDES SEVERAL INVESTMENTS RELATED TO PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE DELIVERY.

THESE INVESTMENTS ARE FOCUSED BOTH ON OPTIMIZING TECHNOLOGY AND ENSURING OUR PROCESSES ARE ALIGNED FOR EFFICIENCY WHILE ALSO MEETING OUR SERVICE DEMANDS.

INVESTMENTS IN THIS CATEGORY ARE MEANT TO ADDRESS EFFICIENCY, CUSTOMER PULL AND INITIATIVES TO SITUATE OUR CITY FOR A STRONG ECONOMIC FUTURE.

AND YOU CAN SEE JUST A FEW OF THOSE EXAMPLES THAT ARE ON THE SCREEN.

AS EVERYONE KNOWS, VOLUNTEERS ARE SO IMPORTANT HERE IN SOUTHLAKE AND ONE OF OUR FOCUS AREAS.

JUST TO RECAP THIS, LAST YEAR WE HAD OVER 100 VOLUNTEERS SERVE MORE THAN 18000 HOURS, WHICH EQUATES TO OVER $450,000 IN VALUE, ACCORDING TO THE INDEPENDENT SECTOR. AND THAT BRINGS US TO OUR WORKFORCE INVESTMENTS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IN THE FISCAL YEAR 23 BUDGET.

AS EVERYONE KNOWS, SOUTHLAKE IS A SERVICE ORGANIZATION AND LABOR COSTS ARE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE BUDGET.

IN FACT, FOR FISCAL YEAR 23, ABOUT 70% OF PLANNED GENERAL FUND EXPENSES ARE RELATED DIRECTLY TO PERSONNEL.

THE PROPOSED BUDGET SUPPORTS THE SEIS CULTURE BY CONTINUING TO FUND IMPORTANT TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUR EMPLOYEES WHO ARE TASKED WITH CARRYING OUT THE MISSION OF THE CITY EVERY DAY. WE'RE ALWAYS EVALUATING OUR STAFFING STRUCTURE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE SIZED APPROPRIATELY FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND ALSO TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

THIS YEAR, THE BUDGET PROPOSES ADDING 7.55 FULL TIME EQUIVALENT POSITIONS.

THIS INCLUDES THREE NEW POSITIONS IN THE GENERAL FUND.

THESE ARE A FIRE LIEUTENANT SUPPORT EMS PROGRAMING, AN ACCOUNTANT IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND A TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT TECHNICIAN IN PUBLIC WORKS.

IT ALSO PROPOSES FUNDING A PROGRAMS COORDINATOR FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES OUT OF THE COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BUDGET.

AND FINALLY, AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, IT PROPOSES ENHANCING THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER PROGRAM BY ADDING THREE NEW SROS AND ONE SRO CAPTAIN.

OTHER WORKFORCE INVESTMENTS INCLUDE FUNDING THE COMPREHENSIVE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PROGRAM AND ALSO THE COMPENSATION SYSTEM.

ALL OF THESE EFFORTS SUPPORT OUR DESIRE TO BE AN A PLAYER OF CHOICE AND REALLY ATTRACT THE VERY BEST EMPLOYEES WE CAN TO COME WORK AT THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

[02:50:01]

WE REALLY FOCUS OUR PROGRAM IN THREE MAIN COMPONENTS HAVING A REALLY GREAT WORKPLACE CULTURE THAT SUPPORTS OUR CORE VALUES AND OUR MISSION.

WE WANT TO HAVE A REALLY COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS PACKAGE THAT IS MARKET COMPETITIVE AND MEETS THE NEEDS OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND ALSO OFFER A FAIR, TRANSPARENT AND FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE COMPETITIVE PAY PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 23.

THE BUDGET PROPOSES A 5% PAY ADJUSTMENT FOR ALL EMPLOYEES.

THIS BASE ADJUSTMENT IS ALIGNED WITH THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR THE DFW AREA AND OTHER MARKET DATA THAT WE'VE REVIEWED IN SUPPORT OF THIS BUDGET.

IT PROPOSES ABSORBING THE COST OF HEALTH INSURANCE INCREASES FOR EMPLOYEES WHO COVER THEIR DEPENDENTS ON THE EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE.

IT, OF COURSE, PROPOSES MAINTAINING THE COMPETITIVE PAY AND BENEFIT STRUCTURE TO ENSURE OUR DESIRED MARKET POSITION AGAIN, TO REALLY ATTRACT THAT TOP TALENT, IT CONTINUES INITIATIVES RELATED TO OUR TALENT DENSITY AND SUCCESSION PLANNING EFFORTS.

AND FINALLY, IT PLACES ONGOING ATTENTION TOWARDS OUR EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM.

FINALLY, ONE OF THE WAYS WE MEASURE THE COMPETITIVENESS OF OUR BENEFITS PROGRAM IS TO LOOK AT THE BENEFITS AS A PERCENT OF COMPENSATION.

AND THIS HELPS US DETERMINE IF WE'RE BOTH BEING COMPETITIVE AND FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE.

WE LOOK AT THE BLS BENCHMARK DATA FROM THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS TO SEE WHERE WE SHOULD LAY.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE RANGE IN THERE FROM CIVILIAN PRIVATE SECTOR IS ABOUT 31.2% AND THE STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE COMING ABOUT 38% FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023.

WE PROJECT OUR RATIO TO BE ABOUT 28%.

SO NOT TOO FAR OFF FROM THAT BENCHMARK AT THIS POINT IN THE PRESENTATION, I'D LIKE TO RETURN IT TO CITY MANAGER SHANA YELVERTON FOR SOME FINAL COMMENTS.

SO I WANT TO THANK THE PRESENTERS, BUT ALSO ALL OF THE STAFF WHO'VE WORKED VERY HARD TO PULL THIS TOGETHER.

THE NEXT STEPS ARE THAT YOUR MEETINGS IN SEPTEMBER, WE WILL ASK YOU TO FORMALLY CONSIDER THE BUDGET AND WE WILL HOLD OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS AT THAT TIME.

BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE THIS EVENING AS WELL.

I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

AM I CORRECT THAT WE SET ASIDE 8.5 BILLION FOR THE LIBRARY AND MULTI-USE? OH, GO AHEAD.

OKAY, IT'S LATE.

WELL, SHANA AND TEAM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS BUDGET.

WE KNOW THIS IS A CULMINATION OF MANY, MANY MONTHS OF EFFORT AND MANY, MANY YEARS OF EXPERTISE IN SOUND FISCAL MANAGEMENT FOR THE CITY.

IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE IT ALL COME TOGETHER EVERY YEAR.

OBVIOUSLY, THE TAXPAYERS ARE ACUTELY AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE TAX RATE AND WE'RE PROUD TO SUPPORT YET ANOTHER TAX RATE CUT.

AND JUST TO REEMPHASIZE THAT THIS CUT IS GOING TO BE ONCE AGAIN FOR THE FOURTH YEAR IN A ROW BELOW THE EFFECTIVE RATE, WHICH MEANS THAT THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER IN SOUTH LAKE PAYS LESS TO THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE ON THEIR PROPERTY TAX BILL THAN THEY DID LAST YEAR OR THE YEAR BEFORE, THE YEAR BEFORE.

THAT IS PART OF THIS COUNCIL'S COMMITMENT TO THE TAXPAYERS OF SOUTH LAKE THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE WHATEVER RELIEF WE CAN AGAINST THESE RISING APPRAISALS, AND WE WILL CERTAINLY CONTINUE THAT IN THIS BUDGET.

BUT ON TOP OF THAT, IT DOESN'T JUST STOP WITH TAX CUTS.

IT CONTINUES ON TO JUST REALLY, REALLY SOUND FISCAL MANAGEMENT AND SHARON AND YOUR TEAM AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE JUST PUTTING TOGETHER A GREAT, GREAT BUDGET THAT BOTH SERVES THE NEEDS OF THE TAXPAYERS IN THE IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE, BUT ALSO SETS US UP FOR SUCCESS DOWN THE LINE SO THAT FUTURE COUNCILS ARE APPRECIATIVE OF OUR WORK AS WELL. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.

COUNCILOR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AT THIS POINT? ONE OTHER THING THAT JUMPED OUT TO ME FROM HAVING BEEN ON COUNCIL FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS IS THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO CASH FUNDING OF OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS.

IN THIS YEAR, THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 OF OVER $30 MILLION OF CAPITAL PROJECTS PAID FOR WITH CASH, WHICH FOR A TOWN OUR SIZE AND THE BUDGET OF OUR SIZE IS REALLY REMARKABLE. I'M GLAD WE'RE CONTINUING WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

I THINK TO YOUR POINT, MAYOR, IT SETS UP THE CITY WELL FOR THE FUTURE.

YEAH, WELL SAID. OKAY.

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT IF THERE'S ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT AN AMAZING BUDGET THIS IS. ALL RIGHT, SEEING NONE.

MISS YELVERTON, IS THERE ANY ACTION NEEDED ON THIS ITEM AT ALL? NO, THIS IS A DISCUSSION ITEM.

WE'LL BE BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

WELL, WE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.

AND THAT BEING THE LAST ITEM, ARE THEY ON THE AGENDA? THIS MEETING IS OFFICIALLY ADJOURNED, [INAUDIBLE].
