Oct 18, 2022 City Council

[00:00:02]

OK. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

SO I'LL ASK PASTOR CLAY REED TO COME DOWN.

AFTER THE INVOCATION, WILL GIVE A PLEDGE.

SO WILL YOU GUYS PLEASE STAND WITH US AND REMAIN STANDING.

LET'S PRAY. DEAR LORD, WE GIVE THANKS THIS EVENING BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

WE GIVE THANKS FOR OUR FRIEND KEN BAKER AND HIS YEARS AND DECADES OF SERVICE TO OUR CITY.

HIS THOUGHTFULNESS, HIS INTEGRITY AND THE WISDOM WITH WHICH HE'S APPROACHED HIS JOB IN MAKING OUR CITY WHAT IT IS.

AND I JUST PRAY BLESSING UPON HIM.

LORD, I PRAY THAT WHEREVER HE LANDS, THAT YOU'LL BRING HIM NEW FRIENDSHIPS AND BLESSING AND PEACE AND NEW PURPOSE.

AND WE JUST GIVE THANKS FOR HIM.

BUT WE ALSO GIVE THANKS TONIGHT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR OFFICERS.

LORD WE LOVE YOU AND WE'RE GLAD THAT YOU'RE A GOOD GOD AND THAT YOU HEAR US.

IN JESUS NAME, WE PRAY.

AMEN. AMEN.

THANK YOU, SIR. THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

ALLEGIANCE] ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR THAT INVOCATION PASTOR REED.

WE'LL START TONIGHT WITH OUR WORK SESSION AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL UPDATE FROM OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

[3. Southlake Chamber of Commerce Updates ]

SO, MARK, COME ON DOWN AND UPDATE US.

YOU GUYS HAD A SLOW WEEKEND OVER AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, DIDN'T YOU? YEAH, YOU CAN SAY THAT. CONGRATULATIONS ON WHAT APPEARED TO BE A VERY SUCCESSFUL OKTOBERFEST.

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY WHO WENT HAD A BLAST.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE CITY'S SUPPORT TO YOU.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALWAYS SO GOOD TO WORK WITH AND ALL YOUR STAFF VERY MEANINGFUL.

OKAY. SO LOOKS LIKE MY SLIDE SHOW IS GOING TO WORK.

I'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH A FEW SLIDES.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OKTOBERFEST AND ANYTHING ELSE AS WELL.

ALL RIGHTY.

SO WE'RE GOING BACK TO BEING A REGULAR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOW THAT OKTOBERFEST HAS CONCLUDED.

AND SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF GREAT RIBBON CUTTINGS LATELY.

WE CONTINUE TO HAVE A BUNCH.

WE'RE HAVING ABOUT 175 PEOPLE A YEAR IN NEW BUSINESSES ROLL INTO THE CHAMBER RIGHT NOW.

NOW WE DO AN OCCASION TO LOSE SOMEBODY THAT DOESN'T RENEW OR FOR WHATEVER, BUT IT'S VERY VIBRANT WITH A LOT OF NEW BUSINESSES AND MANY OF THEM ARE WISE AND TAKE US UP ON OUR OFFER TO DO A RIBBON CUTTING FOR THEM.

AND THERE'S ONE FARAH OR FERAH.

HOWEVER YOU SAY IT? ALL RIGHT.

AND HERE YOU GO. YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF NAMES IN THIS LIST.

NEW BUSINESSES EITHER COMING TO SOUTHLAKE OR FOR SURE, COMING TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

AND HERE'S A FEW MORE.

I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S ALL THERE.

THERE MIGHT BE ONE MORE.

YEAH. OKAY, SO THIS IS OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

IF A LOT OF FAMILIAR FACES ON THERE.

ANYWAY, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE VOLUNTEER WORK THEY DO.

JUST AS YOUR SUPER VOLUNTEERS FOR THE CITY.

THERE THE SUPER VOLUNTEERS FOR THE CHAMBER.

ALL RIGHTY. OUR AMBASSADOR OF THE MONTH LAST MONTH WAS FARRAH.

WE WERE VERY PROUD OF HER.

SHE'S A SWEETHEART. HAD A GREAT MEMBER OF THE MONTH VIDEO WITH HER.

AND YOU CAN SEE MICHAEL YOUNG AND BILL TATE BEING THE BRAND.

IT'S RIGHT BEFORE OKTOBERFEST.

OUR NEXT ONE SPEAKER IS BILL SHADDOCK FROM CAPITOL TITLE AND MANY OTHER BUSINESSES.

HE'S QUITE THE ENTREPRENEUR.

AND ANYWAY, HE'S GOING TO TALK FROM THE TITANS OF INDUSTRY AND REAL ESTATE, AS WELL AS BUILDING CRITICAL RELATIONSHIPS.

HE'S REALLY GOOD AT THAT AND IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY INTERESTING LUNCHEON COMING UP ON THE 27TH SPONSORED BY JOHN FLETCHER.

HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS WILL BE THERE.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE STILL DOING OUR MORNING NETWORKING GROUP, JUST LIKE ALWAYS, SECOND, FOURTH, TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 8 A.M..

STILL MEETING AT JAMES INCLUDES BREAKFAST.

ADDITIONALLY, WHAT IS THIS ONE? THIS IS OUR GUEST SPEAKER FOR THE BUSINESS INSIDERS NETWORKING LUNCH.

SO THE FIRST OF THE MONTH WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF GOING ON.

SO THIS IS THE FIRST OF EACH MONTH IS THIS ORGANIZATION, ORGANIZATION, THIS MEETING, RATHER.

AND IT'S THURSDAY, NOVEMBER THE 3RD.

MARIO CORDOVA IS OUR NEXT SPEAKER.

COME HEAR ABOUT THE CHANGING HEALTH CARE MARKET.

THE LEADERSHIP CLASS IS DOING GREAT THIS YEAR.

THEY ARE OFF TO A FANTASTIC START.

[00:05:02]

THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH ORIENTATION, THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH THE ROPES COURSE.

AND NOW IS WHEN IT GETS WEIRD BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE TO DECIDE ON THEIR PROJECT.

AND THIS IS WHERE THE PERSONALITIES AND STUFF START TO REALLY COME OUT.

SO THIS WILL BE FUN TO WATCH.

BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE WORKING ON NOW IS THEIR COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT.

SO YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT THAT IN THE UPCOMING MONTH.

OK. THE PRAYER BREAKFAST IS STILL BEING HELD AT TOASTED YOLK.

THAT'S ALSO IN THE FIRST THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 9 A.M.

WITH PASTOR STERLING SMITH.

VERY INSPIRATIONAL WORDS HE ALWAYS HAS FOR BUSINESS LEADERS, LEADERSHIP SEEKERS FROM THE BIBLE.

ALL RIGHT. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT OKTOBERFEST.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

SO THIS YEAR, WE MADE A NUMBER OF CHANGES, ONE OF WHICH WAS HUGE FOR US.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, WE HAD MR. T AT THE LAST OCTOBERFEST HERE THIS WEEKEND.

HE WAS KIND OF LIKE A ROVING CELEBRITY.

HE'S A LOT OF FUN.

AND THAT PICTURE INSIDE OF THE FRAME THERE.

OH, DARN. I FORGET HER NAME, BUT THE NICEST YOUNG LADY FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL THERE HAD HER OWN BOOTH, WAS SELLING HER ARTS AND CRAFTS.

SHARP, SHARP YOUNG LADY.

WE HAD OUR FIRST VIDEO GAME CONTEST EVER.

WE GOT THIS GIANT SCREEN ABOUT THE SIZE OF YOURS UP HERE, AND SOMEBODY CAME UP WITH THE IDEA LET'S DO A VIDEO GAME CONTEST.

SO WHAT THE HECK? LET'S TRY IT. IT WAS WAY MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

AND WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO BRING IT BACK NEXT YEAR.

THAT WAS A GREAT NEW ELEMENT.

ALL RIGHT. AND HERE'S SOME MORE PICTURES HERE.

YOU SEE. WE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN ON THE ACT THIS YEAR.

I'VE BEEN WEARING MY LEADER HOSE GOING AROUND TRYING TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO KIND OF GET OFF THEIR EGO AND JUST GET A LITTLE SILLY WITH THIS FOR THE GOOD OF THE CHAMBER AND JUST BE THE BRAND AND HAVE FUN.

SO A BUNCH OF PEOPLE JOIN ME THIS YEAR AND YOU SEE A FEW OF THEM THERE.

AND THOSE WIENER DOGS ON THE LEFT REMIND ME THAT WE HAD AN EAT MORE CHICKEN DOG DRESSED UP LIKE THE COW.

THIS YEAR CAME IN FIRST PLACE.

IT WAS REALLY FUNNY. OKAY.

AND HERE'S THE STEIN HOISTING CONTEST.

WE HAD SO MANY MEN SHOW UP TO DO IT THAT WE HAD TO ACTUALLY MAKE THE TABLES IN A LETTER U TO GET THEM ALL AROUND OVER THERE.

BUT WE DID THAT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT.

OUR FRIENDS FROM ALTSTADT BREWERY CAME UP HERE AND HELPED RUN THAT ALONG WITH MICHAEL YOUNG, MR. T AND SEVERAL OTHERS.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE SOME FRIENDS OF ALL OF OURS.

1956 PIZZA BOOTH THERE WITH BILL TATES YOUNG DAUGHTERS THERE.

IT WAS A REALLY OVERALL SUPER GOOD EVENT.

WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT THE WEATHER ON SUNDAY.

IT RAINED EARLY THAT MORNING, AS YOU KNOW, AND IT WAS GOOD THE REST OF THE DAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT WENT REALLY GOOD.

SATURDAY NIGHT AGAIN WAS FANTASTIC.

AND THEN OUR CROWDS WERE JUST A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN BEFORE.

WE HAD BEEN TOLD TO PREPARE FOR A 15 TO 20% DECLINE IN SALES THAT ALL OF THE OTHER FESTIVALS ARE SEEING.

AND THERE WAS ONLY A THREE KEG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE SAW LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR.

AND I DO NOT HAVE NUMBERS TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS, BUT IT'S ON PAR WITH LAST YEAR.

SO WE MADE JUST AS MUCH SALES OFF OF FEWER PEOPLE.

SO THAT WAS GOOD FOR US AND NOT HAVING TO GET IN LINE AT THE TICKET BOOTH SEEMED TO BE THE BREAKTHROUGH THAT EVERYBODY WAS THE MOST EXCITED ABOUT.

THAT WORKED REALLY WELL.

PARDON ME. FROM A CONSUMER STANDPOINT, THAT IT FELT LIKE IT WORKED REALLY WELL FROM AN IT STANDPOINT.

DID IT ALL WORK OUT EVERYTHING? IN THE END.

YEAH. THAT'S ALWAYS A NIGHTMARE FOR ME PERSONALLY.

I'M SO GLAD TO HAVE SOME VERY TALENTED PEOPLE DOING THAT IN THE BACKGROUND.

MONDAY NIGHT WAS A LITTLE ROUGH GETTING UP AND RUNNING, BUT ONCE WE DID, WE WERE FINE.

THE CUSTOMERS SEEMED TO REALLY LIKE IT.

SO THE CONCEPT OF BEING CASHLESS AT A BIG FESTIVAL HERE, THE CUSTOMERS LIKE IT, THEY ACCEPT IT.

THERE'S NO PUSHBACK FROM THEM WHATSOEVER.

IT RAN VERY SMOOTH IN ALL THE BARS AND STUFF THAT WE DID, TOO.

WE HAD A FEW LITTLE GLITCHY SPOTS WITH SOME OF OUR FOOD VENDORS, AND IT HAD TO DO WITH A WIFI DEVICE IN ONE PARTICULAR AREA OF THE EVENT.

SO THAT WAS LIKE A LITTLE SIDEBAR.

SO UNLESS SOMETHING UNFORESEEN HAPPENS, WE WILL BE COMING BACK CASHLESS AGAIN NEXT YEAR WITH A MOUNTAIN OF LESSONS LEARNED ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO PERFECT IT. BUT THE MODEL WORKED GOOD FOR US AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO REVOLUTIONIZE A LOT OF THINGS.

ALL RIGHT. I GUESS THAT WAS MY LAST PICTURE ON THERE AND OUR CONTINUING MISSION TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF BUSINESS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY WE TRY TO KEEP PEOPLE IN BUSINESS THAT ARE ALREADY IN BUSINESS MOSTLY.

ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS FOR MARK? WELL, THANK YOU AGAIN. ALL RIGHT.

VERY HAPPY WITH THE SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND.

AND KEEP DOING YOUR THING, MAN.

YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU.

AND WE THANK ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS AND SPONSORS, TOO.

ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS A READ THROUGH OF OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

COUNCIL ARE THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS YOU GUYS WANT TO PUT ON CONSENT TONIGHT? YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE CONSIDER MOVING FROM OUR REGULAR AGENDA TO CONSENT AGENDA AND APPROVING THESE ITEMS. FIRST ITEM NUMBER 7A ORDINANCE NUMBER 717-G.

I'M FINE WITH THOSE. ANY OBJECTIONS? OKAY, WE'LL PUT THOSE ON CONSENT TIME.

ANY QUESTIONS OR ISSUES WITH ANYTHING ON CONSENT COUNCIL? ANYTHING YOU GUYS WANT TO DISCUSS WITH STAFF? OK SEEING NONE WE WILL CALL THE REGULAR SESSION TO ORDER.

[1. Call to order. ]

[00:15:07]

OK.

SO WE ARE FINISHED UP WITH EXECUTIVE SESSION.

WE'LL CALL THE REGULAR SESSION BACK TO ORDER AT 6:30.

IS THERE ANY ACTION COMING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEMS 4A THROUGH 4U, WHICH IS OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

OUR CONSENT AGENDA WAS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED.

ACTUALLY. I'M SORRY. BACK THAT UP.

BACK THAT UP, WE WILL DO 3A, WHICH IS THE MAYOR'S REPORT.

AND ACTUALLY DO NOT HAVE A MAYOR'S REPORTS AND SENDING MY TIME OVER TO ITEM 3B, WHICH IS OUR CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.

[3.B. City Manager's Report]

SO THIS EVENING WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT NATIONAL COMMUNITY PLANNING MONTH.

THIS IS A MONTH THAT CELEBRATES THE VALUE OF PLANNING AND WHAT IT MEANS TO OUR COMMUNITIES.

AND I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT SOUTHLAKE, BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT WE'VE HAD SUCH AN AMAZING TEAM, I THINK OUR PLANNING IS NEXT TO NONE.

SO KEN'S GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT HIS TEAM AND WHAT THEY WERE DOING THIS MONTH.

DIRECTOR BAKER, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL PLANNING MONTH, AND EACH OCTOBER THE AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION HAS NATIONAL PLANNING MONTH TO RECOGNIZE PLANNERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND THE WORK THAT THEY DO TO MAKE COMMUNITIES BETTER, TO CREATE CITIES THAT ARE GREAT PLACES TO WORK, TO PLAY, TO LIVE. AND IT REALLY IN ORDER FOR A COMMUNITY TO BE SUCCESSFUL, IT'S THE MANAGEMENT, THE CITY MANAGER, THE COUNCIL HAS TO BUY INTO THE CONFERENCE, THE PLANNING PROCESS, THE PLANNING PROCESS.

AND THERE'S NO BETTER EXAMPLE THAN SOUTHLAKE.

WE'VE HAD A LONG TRADITION OF COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING AND PLANNING OUR FIRST LAND USE PLAN WAS BACK IN 1969.

IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT, A LOT OF WHAT YOU SEE ON THE GROUND TODAY IS SIMILAR TO THAT PLAN.

THIS WAS DESIGNATED AS A REGIONAL MALL, KIND OF LIKE THE GRAPEVINE MILLS MALL, BUT I THINK WE GOT A BETTER PRODUCT HERE.

BUT I'D LIKE TO JUST THANK THE COUNCIL FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND SUPPORT OF PLANNING THROUGH THE YEARS, BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE OUT THERE AND THE QUALITY DEVELOPMENT, THE PARKS, THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES, THE BUILDING IS A TESTAMENT TO THIS COUNCIL AND PREVIOUS COUNCILS TO REGARDING THEIR COMMITMENT TO PLANNING AND UNDERSTANDING HOW TOWNS JUST DON'T MIRACULOUSLY EVOLVE AND BECOME GREAT CITIES. IT TAKES PLANNING.

IT TAKES A LOT OF THOUGHT IT TAKES SOME VERY LATE NIGHTS.

AND SO THANK YOU ALL, THANK YOU FOR SUPPORT.

AND REALLY THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY.

I'VE GOT SOME PROJECTS WE'RE DOING, BUT WE'LL LEAVE THAT FOR ANOTHER EVENING.

WELL, I HAVE A FEW MORE THINGS TO SAY.

FIRST OF ALL, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH THAT YOU SEE, THERE ARE SOME OF THE HARDEST WORKING, SMARTEST PEOPLE.

IT'S A REAL PLEASURE TO WORK WITH THIS GROUP, AND I JUST WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK THEM FOR THEIR WORK AND KEN, IF YOU WILL, CEDE YOUR POSITION FOR A MOMENT.

PILAR IS GOING TO STEP FORWARD AND PULL UP ANOTHER SLIDE.

I WOULD BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ANNOUNCE THAT THIS IS, OF COURSE, UNFORTUNATELY, KEN BAKER'S LAST MEETING HERE AT CITY COUNCIL THIS EVENING.

HE AND HIS WIFE WILL BE RELOCATING OUT OF STATE.

AND WHAT A LOSS.

I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE IT'S A TREMENDOUS LOSS.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT KEN'S TIME IN SOUTHLAKE AND THE WAY IT SORT OF POPPED INTO MY MIND WAS WE HAVE 23 YEARS ON THE JOB, BUT HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF IMPACT BECAUSE THIS COMMUNITY IS WHAT IT IS BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE BY KEN AND HIS TEAM AND MOVING US FORWARD.

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, KEN HAS A MASTER'S DEGREE IN GEOGRAPHY WITH AN EMPHASIS ON CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING.

SO HIS EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND WAS ABOUT PLANNING AND HIS WORK HISTORY IS ALSO ABOUT PLANNING.

WHEN WE HIRED KEN IN 1999, HE HAD ALREADY WORKED FOR TWO COUNTIES IN VIRGINIA AS A PLANNER.

SO HE CAME TO US WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EXPERTISE AND IT SHOWED.

I WAS LOOKING AT SOME OF THE EXTERNAL AWARDS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FOR OUR PLANNING EFFORTS, FOR EXAMPLE, PLANNING PROJECT PLANNING AWARDS FOR MULTIPLE PLANS THAT THEY HAVE PUT INTO PLACE THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO US FROM THE AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION.

HE ACTUALLY SPECIFICALLY WON PLANNER OF THE YEAR IN 2013 AS PART OF THE TEXAS CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION.

WHEN I COUNTED UP ALL THOSE EXTERNAL AWARDS, THERE WERE 16 JUST IN KEN'S TENURE, WHICH I THINK IS REFLECTIVE OF THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT HE DOES.

[00:20:02]

SO HIS IMPACT HERE HAS BEEN HUGE.

AND AS I SAID BEFORE, WE'LL BE FEELING IT FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

BUT I THINK AS I WRAP UP MY COMMENTS FOR THIS, KEN'S LAST MEETING, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT KEN BAKER IS HE'S JUST AN OUTSTANDING HUMAN BEING.

AND WE HAVE ALL BEEN LIFTED BY THE MAN THAT IS KEN BAKER.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND I HOPE YOU'LL ALL JOIN US FOR A COMMUNITY GOING AWAY PARTY THAT WILL BE HOLDING ON OCTOBER 24TH TO GIVE HIM A PROPER FUN GOODBYE.

BUT AT THIS MEETING, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU AND OPEN IT UP FOR ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SAY ANY WORDS.

I THINK EVERYBODY HAS A LOT TO SAY AND WE'LL BE SAYING A LOT OVER THE NEXT WEEK.

BUT, COUNCIL, MAYBE WE CAN GO AROUND AND JUST EXPRESS A FEW THOUGHTS ABOUT KEN.

YOU WANT TO START US OFF KATHY? SURE. WELL, I FEEL I GUESS I FEEL A BIT CHEATED BECAUSE RANDY AND I HAVE BEEN HERE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME.

AND WE'VE I'M SURE RANDY WILL SPEAK TO IT, BUT I'VE CERTAINLY TAKEN AS MUCH ADVANTAGE OF KEN OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE AS I CAN SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL. AND I CAN'T TELL YOU.

I'M JUST SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

AND JUST IN BEING ON COUNCIL AND TALKING TO PEOPLE, TALKING TO YOUR FELLOW EMPLOYEES, STAFF, EVERYONE, ANY TIME PLANNING HAS COME UP.

WOW. KEN IS SUCH A STAND UP GUY.

WOW KEN KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT PLANNING IN THIS CITY.

WOW. KEN IS A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PLANNING.

AND YOU ARE. AND WE AS A CITY HAVE BEEN SO VERY BLESSED FOR THAT AND FOR YOU AND YOU BEING HERE FOR SO LONG.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST UNHEARD OF NOWADAYS.

PEOPLE STAYING IN PLACES AS LONG AS YOU HAVE AND A LOT OF OUR STAFF.

SO FOR ME, THANK YOU FROM THE BEGINNING FOR HELPING ME KIND OF GET STARTED IN TERMS OF PLANNING AND ZONING.

AND I'M SURE I ASK SOME MAYBE NOT SO SMART QUESTIONS AT THE BEGINNING, BUT I NEVER KNEW THAT FROM YOU.

YOU WERE VERY PATIENT AND I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOU.

AND I WISH NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AS YOU HAVE A NEW CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE COMING UP.

SO THANK YOU. WELL SAID.

COUNCIL MEMBER ROBBINS.

YEAH, KEN. LIKE SHE SAID, I'VE ONLY BEEN AROUND FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OR SO, BUT IT'S BEEN I'VE LEANED ON YOU PROBABLY MORE THAN EXCUSE ME, ALMOST MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, SITTING IN MEETINGS, JUST WATCHING YOU GO OVER LITERALLY EVERY PIECE OF AN AGENDA AND BE ABLE TO JUST BOIL IT ALL DOWN TO THE IMPORTANT PARTS AND HELP US WALK THROUGH EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED TO BE LOOKING FOR AND REALLY GUIDE US IN A WAY THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYONE ELSE COULD.

THE WAY YOU'VE DONE IT, THE RESPECT THAT YOU GARNER FROM EVERYONE AROUND YOU, FROM NOT JUST PEOPLE ON STAFF, BUT PEOPLE ON COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY.

WHEN I TALK TO FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY, THEY'RE JUST AMAZED AT THE VAST AMOUNTS OF KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE ABOUT BASICALLY EVERYTHING SOUTHLAKE.

I JUST CAN'T SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH.

I'M VERY EXCITED FOR YOU AND YOUR WIFE.

I KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU ALL.

I'M NOT GOING TO SAY I'M NOT A LITTLE JEALOUS THAT YOU GET TO GO BACK HOME AND BE CLOSE TO A FARM.

I MISS THAT. AND I THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU ALL.

I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE ABSOLUTE BEST.

I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BE YOU'RE GOING TO BE SORELY, SORELY MISSED HERE.

AND YOU'VE GOT HUGE SHOES TO FILL.

BUT I THINK YOU'VE PROBABLY.

I HAVE A FEELING WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT THAT YOU BUILT A TEAM AS AMAZING AS YOU ARE, TO FILL IN THE SPACE WHEN YOU LEAVE.

AND I JUST THINK THAT'LL BE ANOTHER PIECE OF YOUR LIVING LEGACY AS YOU LEAVE HERE, THE PEOPLE THAT YOU HELPED BUILD UP BEHIND YOU.

SO THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.

COUNCILMEMBER MCCASKILL.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. WELL, I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE AND I MEAN THAT THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING KEN BAKER FOR OVER TEN YEARS.

I THINK WE FIRST MET AND STARTED WORKING TOGETHER IN 2010 WHEN I WAS APPOINTED TO THE ZBA.

AND EVEN AS A NEWBIE, KEN WAS MORE THAN GENEROUS WITH HIS TIME AND SHARING HIS KNOWLEDGE WITH THE NEW MEMBERS OF THE ZBA AND HELPING US BE THE BEST WE COULD BE.

AND HE'S CONTINUED TO DO THAT.

WHEN I MOVED ON FROM ZBA TO PLANNING AND ZONING AND THEN ONTO CITY COUNCIL, AND I'VE SHARED THIS WITH KEN PRIVATELY AND WITH EVERYONE THAT I'VE ALWAYS APPRECIATED YOUR TIME, YOUR COUNSEL AND YOUR WISDOM AND YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SHARE IT WITH NOT ONLY ME BUT EVERYONE UP HERE ON CITY COUNCIL AND THE OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. AND ON A PERSONAL STANDPOINT, WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER, INCLUDING EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON.

I STILL EVEN ON YOUR BASICALLY YOUR LAST DAY CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, I BOTHERED YOU TO JOIN A PREP MEETING TODAY.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AS YOU'RE A SHORT TIMER AT THIS POINT, BUT THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITY.

[00:25:01]

AND I KNOW WE'RE IN A GOOD SPOT GOING FORWARD, EVEN WITH YOU BEING OUT OF STATE BECAUSE OF ALL THE WORK YOU'VE DONE OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

YES SIR. COUNCILMEMBER SMITH.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE THERE IS TO SAY.

IT'S FUNNY, I WAS LOOKING THROUGH SOME OF THE EMAILS WHEN I FIRST JOINED ZBA BACK IN 2015.

EMAILS FROM RICHARD, DENNIS, KEN SEEING KEN WALK IN, I DIDN'T KNOW HIM LIKE I DO NOW.

THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND THAT CAME TO MIND OVER THE WEEKEND AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE TALKED TONIGHT HAVE ECHOED THESE SAME SENTIMENTS.

JUST SUCH A GIVER, SUCH A GREAT GUY.

BUT SOMETHING I ALWAYS TELL SHANA IS A QUOTE, ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES FROM REMEMBER THE TITANS ATTITUDES, THE REFLECTION OF LEADERSHIP.

I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS. WE HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT LIVE AROUND THE METROPLEX AND THEY KNOW WE LIVE IN SOUTHLAKE, AND I THINK SOUTHLAKE IS THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD.

AND THEY ALWAYS SAID, WE'RE LIVING IN THE NEXT SOUTHLAKE.

AND I WAS LIKE, THERE'S A LOT OF PLANNING THAT GOES INTO BUILDING THE NEXT SOUTHLAKE AND THE NEXT SOUTHLAKE, TO MY MIND, HASN'T BEEN CREATED.

BUT BEING ON COUNCIL AND BEFORE THAT ON ZBA, YOU REALIZE HOW MANY HANDS TOUCH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COMMUNITY.

AND TO YOUR POINTS EARLIER, KEN'S HANDS ARE ALL OVER THIS.

MY FAVORITE STORY THAT I'LL SHARE TONIGHT AND I WAS GOING TO SAVE IT TO NEXT WEEK, BUT IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE ME AND KEN NOW SHARE A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP THAT NOBODY ELSE ON COUNCIL CAN SAY THEY SHARE. SO A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO IT WAS OVER THE SUMMER.

HE KNOWS WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY.

I PULL UP OUT FRONT AND MY TRUCK WOULD NOT CRANK.

AND I'M LIKE, ARE YOU SERIOUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS? SO THE FIRST IT'S LIKE 5:00.

THE FIRST THING I DO IS RUN UP TO WHOSE OFFICE? KEN'S OFFICE. AND HE COMES DOWN AND SAYS, IT'S THE BATTERY AND HE GIVES ME A JUMP.

AND THAT JUST STICKS WITH ME BECAUSE IT'S THE TYPE OF PERSON HE IS.

I KNEW HE'S SOMEBODY I COULD COUNT ON.

I MEAN, IF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING, I'M THINKING I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CALL CHIEF BRANDON AND HAVE THE POLICE COME OUT.

BUT IT WAS KEN WHO GRABBED THE TOOLBOX.

OF COURSE HE HAD A TOOLBOX AND HE COMES DOWN AND SAYS, IT'S THE BATTERY AND GIVES ME A JUMP.

SO THANK YOU FOR BEING SO DEPENDABLE, RELIABLE, IN ADDITION TO BEING JUST A GREAT GUY.

THANK YOU. YEAH, WELL SAID.

COUNCIL MEMBER TORRES-LEPP.

IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS, IT'S REALLY HARD TO GO SECOND TO LAST BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT EVERY PERSON SAID UP HERE, I COULDN'T AGREE WITH MORE.

FROM MY VERY FIRST INTERACTION WITH YOU WELCOMING ME TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SEVERAL YEARS BACK.

THE THOUGHTFULNESS THAT GOES INTO YOU, EVERY NEW MEMBER, YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR SO MANY YEARS AND STILL AFTER 24 YEARS.

IS THAT WHERE WE ARE? 23 YEARS, YOU STILL TOOK THAT SAME LEVEL OF CARE.

AND IT WAS THE WAY YOU INTERACT WITH PEOPLE IS SECOND TO NONE KEN.

I ALMOST GET TEARED UP? OH, MY GOSH. ONE OF MY FAVORITE STORIES OF SEEING KEN.

I'LL BRING IT ON A LIGHTER NOTE IS I WAS OUT SATURDAY MORNING RUNNING THE HORSESHOE TRAIL AND THERE HE WAS.

AND I'M LIKE, OH, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SEE SOMEBODY IN A BUSINESS SUIT AND IN THIS ENVIRONMENT AND THEN YOU SEE THEM ON SATURDAY MORNING OUT SWEATING AND RUNNING THE TRAILS, IT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE.

BUT YOU'RE SUCH AN ALL AROUND GOOD GUY.

AND WE HOPE AND PRAY ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FAMILY.

IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY COOL OPPORTUNITY AND WE'LL STILL BE HERE.

AND WE'D LOVE TO LEAN ON YOU, BUT WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU GO.

AND YOU DO HAVE HUGE SHOES TO FILL.

BUT SOMEBODY ALREADY SAID THIS EARLIER AND I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE EVEN MORE SO WHEN YOU LEAVE WHAT AN INCREDIBLE LEADER YOU QUITE ARE, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY STEP IN THAT YOU'VE TRAINED THAT IS GOING TO TAKE OVER AND DO AN AMAZING JOB BECAUSE YOU'VE THEY'VE LEARNED FROM YOU.

SO CONGRATULATIONS.

GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY AND YOU'LL BE SORELY MISSED.

YEAH, WELL SAID. COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON.

YEAH. MY GOODNESS. THIS IS BITTERSWEET.

I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

THIS IS IT'S JUST WONDERFUL.

I KNOW HOW EXCITED YOU ARE ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY AND AND IT'S JUST GOING TO BE FANTASTIC.

BUT THE BITTER PART IS, OF COURSE, US LOSING YOU, NOT JUST US, BUT SOUTHLAKE, THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, OUR RESIDENTS.

YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY DON'T KNOW WHO KEN BAKER IS.

WHO'S KEN BAKER? YOU KNOW, UNLESS THEY BROUGHT AN APPLICATION OR DEVELOPED, THEY PROBABLY DON'T KNOW.

BUT EVERY DAY THEY EXPERIENCE YOUR FINGERPRINT ON THIS CITY, AS EVERYBODY HAS TALKED ABOUT, YOU AND I LIKE COUNCILMEMBER MCCASKILL.

WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER ALL THE WAY BACK TO AT LEAST 2010, MAYBE EARLIER.

AND I CANNOT THINK OF ONE OCCASION OVER THOSE 12 YEARS OR SO WHERE I'VE BEEN DISAPPOINTED OR THOUGHT, OH, KEN MISSED THAT, OR HE DROPPED THE BALL ON THAT.

IT'S ALWAYS EXCELLENCE.

[00:30:01]

AND I WAS COMMENTING EARLIER.

IT'S SO NEAT TOO BECAUSE KEN IS SO QUICK TO GIVE CREDIT HE WANTS TO GIVE CREDIT FOR HOW GREAT SOUTHLAKE IS TO THIS CITY COUNCIL OR TO PREVIOUS CITY COUNCILS.

AND PART OF THAT IS TRUE.

THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO THAT.

BUT KEN WOULD NEVER TELL YOU THAT OR EVEN THINK THIS.

BUT I KNOW IT HE PLAYS EVERY BIT AS BIG A ROLE IN THIS CITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT IT HAS BECOME AS ANY MEMBER OF COUNCIL OR PREVIOUS MAYOR HAS.

AND HE WOULD NEVER TELL YOU THAT.

HE WOULD NEVER TELL YOU THAT I WOULD JUST SIT HERE THINKING THAT REALLY THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KEN AND US IS WE HAVE A VOTE.

BUT AS FAR AS THE KNOWLEDGE BASE AND THE JUDGMENT AND THE THINKING THAT GOES INTO THINGS, THERE'S NOBODY BETTER.

SO YOU WILL BE SORELY MISSED.

BUT I KNOW YOU'VE PREPARED PEOPLE AND THEY'LL DO A FANTASTIC JOB.

THE ONE LIGHT NOTE FUNNY THING I'LL SAY I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY AFTER OCTOBER 25TH, BECAUSE IN 12 YEARS OR I GUESS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN NINE YEARS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, I CAN'T THINK OF ONE OCCASION THAT KEN HAS REFERRED TO ME AS ANYTHING BUT COUNCIL MEMBER.

COUNCIL MEMBER HOW ARE YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMSON HOW ARE YOU? HE IS THE EPITOME OF PROTOCOL AND PROFESSIONALISM.

AND I'VE EVEN SAID, KEN, PLEASE CALL ME RANDY, CALL ME RANDY.

I MEAN, WE'RE FRIENDS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR YEARS.

AND HE IS THE EPITOME OF PROFESSIONAL.

AND SO I PLAN ON CALLING HIM ON OCTOBER 26TH, AND I'M HOPING HE ANSWERS THE PHONE, HEY, RANDY, HOW ARE YOU DOING? SO BUT, YOU KNOW, BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

WE'RE GOING TO STAY IN TOUCH AND TALK FOOTBALL AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS AND MAYBE EVEN SNEAK IN A PLANNING QUESTION, IF I HAVE ONE.

[LAUGHTER] BUT THANKS, KEN, FOR EVERYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW, RANDY. I THINK HE MAY BE OFF THE CLOCK ON OCTOBER 26TH.

WELL, YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S REALLY HARD TO TO BUILD ON THE WONDERFUL WORDS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAID.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, RIGHT? THIS IS HOW YOU WANT TO LEAVE A PLACE WITH WORDS LIKE THIS.

AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL TRUE, THEY'RE ALL SINCERE AND WE'RE ALL SUPER JUST INCREDIBLY HAPPY.

AND FOR YOU AND PROUD OF THE LEGACY THAT YOU LEFT AND THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR US.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IN ADDITION TO BEING ABLE TO WRITE THE BOOK ON BEING A GREAT PLANNER, YOU COULD ALSO WRITE THE BOOK ON BEING A GREAT SENIOR STAFFER BECAUSE YOU ARE SO PATIENT, ESPECIALLY WITH NEWER COUNCIL MEMBERS OR NEWER VOLUNTEERS.

YOU'RE SO PATIENT AND YOU'RE SO QUICK TO ALLOW US TO FEEL SMARTER THAN MAYBE WE ARE.

AND YOU NEVER GET FRUSTRATED, OR AT LEAST NOT OUTWARDLY.

YOU ALLOW US THE SPACE TO BECOME, YOU KNOW, TO GET BETTER AT THIS JOB WHILE AT THE SAME TIME TEACHING AND GUIDING AND BEING PATIENT.

SO JUST THE WAY YOU'VE INTERACTED WITH US AS COUNCIL, ESPECIALLY, I THINK BACK TO WHEN I WAS A YOUNG COUNCIL MEMBER, IT JUST MAN, YOU COULD WRITE THE BOOK.

SO THAT IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN INTERESTING TO HEAR SINCE YOUR RETIREMENT BECAME PUBLIC, JUST THE AMAZING OUTPOURING OF GRATITUDE AND SUPPORT AND SO MANY PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT YOU'VE DONE AND TALKING TO ALL OF US OFFLINE ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S COUNCIL MEMBERS AND FORMER COUNCIL MEMBERS, FORMER MAYOR'S STAFFERS.

BUT [INAUDIBLE] THE MOST INTERESTING COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN JUST EFFUSIVE IN THEIR PRAISE, HAS BEEN THE DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING COMMUNITY, WHICH YOU THINK AS THE PERSON WHO HAS TO, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES BE THE BAD GUY WITH THESE DEVELOPERS AND THESE BUILDERS, YOU THINK THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST ONES TO SING YOUR PRAISES, BUT THEY MAY BE THE MOST VOCAL OF ALL. AMAZING.

THE NUMBER OF FOLKS INVOLVED IN DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING IN SOUTHLAKE WHO HAVE SAID SOME COMBINATION OF THE WORDS, BOY, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE GIANT SHOES TO FILL.

HE'S ONE OF THE VERY BEST.

AND THEY ALL TALK ABOUT IT.

THEY ALL TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT YOU'VE HELPED MANAGE AND HOW FAIR IT IS, HOW PREDICTABLE IT IS, HOW PROFESSIONAL YOUR STAFF IS AND HOW PROFESSIONAL YOU'VE BEEN.

SO, I MEAN, IF THAT'S NOT HIGH PRAISE, MAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WORK AND ALL YOUR PATIENCE AND ALL YOUR EFFORTS.

WE'LL HAVE A LOT MORE TO SAY ON OCTOBER 24TH, CERTAINLY.

BUT YOU HAVE FINISHED YOUR RACE HERE VERY WELL, SIR.

YOU OUGHT TO BE VERY, VERY PROUD.

OF COURSE. COME ON UP.

NOW KEN BAKER, 30 SECONDS, OR REGULAR 30 SECONDS.

IT'S JUST KEN BAKER. SO WE TURN ON THE THREE MINUTE MARKER OR NO? [LAUGHTER].

YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNCIL.

I'M TRULY HUMBLED.

AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THOSE WORDS MEAN TO ME.

I MEAN, I'M GOING TO ARCHIVE THIS TAPE, SHOW MY WIFE AS SOON AS I GET HOME, BECAUSE I'M SURE SHE'S NOT WATCHING IT.

MAYBE. BUT THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.

YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT THE GREAT STAFF I'VE HAD.

[00:35:02]

AND, YOU KNOW, HE'S GONE THROUGH A LOT OF THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS AND HE'S BEEN A GREAT FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE AND OTHER MEMBERS AND STAFF REALLY WORKS HARD FOR THE CITY. BUT ALSO, AS I'VE MENTIONED TO COUNCIL, I BEING FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE A CITIZEN OF THIS GREAT CITY, WHICH YOU'RE RIGHT, IS THE GREATEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY AND GREAT LEADERSHIP TO SEE HOW HARD THIS COUNCIL WORKS AND HOW SUPPORTIVE YOU ARE OF PLANNING.

AND IT IS A PROCESS AND YOU ALL DON'T GET THE CREDIT YOU ALL DESERVE.

AND I KNOW IT'S KEN BAKER'S RETIREMENT, BUT I JUST WANT TO TAKE A SECOND TO THANK YOU ALL.

AND I JUST WANT THE CITIZENS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ALL DO AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS.

AND YOU DON'T GET PAID.

YOU'RE VOLUNTEERS.

AND IT'S INCREDIBLE.

I SEE THE ISSUES AND EVERYTHING YOU TACKLE EVERY TWICE, A MONTH.

AND YOU SHOULD BE COMMENDED AND THE CITIZENS SHOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT GREAT PEOPLE YOU HAVE UP HERE.

AND FINALLY, I WANT TO THANK SHANA, BECAUSE WITHOUT HER SUPPORT THROUGH ALL THESE YEARS, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF BIG DEVELOPMENT ISSUES AND ORDINANCES AND WON'T GO INTO IT.

BUT SHE'S BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE OF MY CAREER AND PLANNING AND SHE'S PROVIDED AN OUTSTANDING DEVICE.

AND YOU'VE GOT THE BEST CITY MANAGER IN THE COUNTRY AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE, EVEN EVEN BETTER THAN THE GUY IN ARLINGTON.

[LAUGHTER] AND THAT'S KEN BAKER, 30 SECONDS.

NOW, SHANA IS GOING TO ARCHIVE THE VIDEO HERSELF.

WELL, THANK YOU WELL SAID DIRECTOR BAKER.

LOOKING FORWARD TO CELEBRATING YOU THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

COUNCIL IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR CONCERNS ABOUT OUR CONSENT AGENDA? SEEING NONE, I'LL TAKE A MOTION.

YES. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEMS 4A THROUGH 4U OUR CONSENT AGENDA, NOTING THAT WITH REGARDS TO ITEM 4B, WE'RE APPROVING THE CANCELLATION OF THE DECEMBER 20TH, 2022 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING, ALSO NOTING THAT WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ITEM 7A ORDINANCE NUMBER 717-G FIRST READING TO CONSENT.

IN ADDITION, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ITEM 9A SV22-0013 TO CONSENT.

THERE'S A MOTION IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. CAST YOUR VOTE. AND OUR CONSENT AGENDA PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

IT IS NOT YET 7:00 PM, SO WE WILL SKIP OVER TO ITEM 6A, WHICH IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 337A SECOND READING AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE NUMBER

[6.A. Ordinance No. 337A, 2nd Reading, amendments to the City of Southlake Solid Waste Ordinance No. 337, establishing a construction debris license and modernizing the ordinance. PUBLIC HEARING ]

MS. LANEAVE. HAS ANYTHING CHANGED FROM FIRST READING? NO, SIR. EVERYTHING IS THE SAME.

I'LL GIVE A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION IF THAT WORKS? PLEASE DO. TONIGHT ON YOUR AGENDA, AS MAYOR SAID, IS ITEM ORDINANCE NUMBER 337A, WHICH IS SECOND READING AND PROVIDING AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE, WHICH ESTABLISHES A CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS LICENSE AND MODERNIZES THE ORDINANCE.

MANY OF THE ORDINANCE UPDATES ARE ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE.

FOR THE MOST PART, THEY'RE JUST STANDARDIZING THE CURRENT CONTRACT AND THE CURRENT PRACTICES WITH THE ORDINANCE.

THE ORDINANCE HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE THE LATE EIGHTIES, SO THIS IS THE FIRST UPDATE IT'S HAD IN ABOUT 20 YEARS.

STARTING WITH THE FIRST, IT IS ALIGNING WITH OUR CURRENT CONTRACT PROVISIONS.

HOWEVER, ALSO LEAVING THEM OPEN TO LANGUAGE IN THE CURRENT CONTRACT WHENEVER IT IS RENEWED NEXT YEAR OR DEPENDING ON IF WE CHANGE PROVIDERS OR NOT. SO THAT INCLUDES THE BULK AND BRUSH PARAMETERS, HOLIDAYS IMPACTED BY COLLECTION, RECYCLING CART PROVISIONS, AS WELL AS UPDATED DEFINITIONS TO ALIGN WITH CONTRACT DEFINITIONS.

ONE OF THE ITEMS WAS A BIN PULL IN TIME.

SO PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A TIME FOR YOU COULD SET YOUR BIN OUT 24 HOURS BEFOREHAND.

THERE IS NO REGULATION FOR A CONTRARY OR A BIN PULL IN TIME, WHICH SEVERAL RESIDENTS HAD ISSUES WITH.

SO WE'VE ADDED THAT AND YOU WILL NEED TO BRING YOUR BIN IN 24 HOURS AFTER COLLECTION IS COMPLETE.

HEY, LAUREN, CAN I ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION? OF COURSE. DOES THAT SUPERSEDE HOA GUIDELINES OR DO HOA GUIDELINES SUPERSEDE THAT IF THEY WANT TO BE MORE RESTRICTIVE? HOA WOULD SUPERSEDE ANY OF THE CITY'S ORDINANCE.

SO IF IT IS 8 HOURS OR 12 HOURS, THIS JUST SETS A FLOOR.

THANK YOU. IT ALSO ALIGNS WITH OUR CURRENT BILLING PRACTICES.

[00:40:02]

AND THERE WAS ALSO AN ADDITIONAL FEE IN THE OLD ORDINANCE AND THIS HAS REMOVED THAT ADDITIONAL FEE.

WE ALSO ALIGNED WITH OUR PRO RATA BILLING PRACTICES, WHICH WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE.

SO IF YOU MOVE IN MID-MONTH, YOU'RE NOT CHARGED FOR THE FULL MONTH OF TRASH SERVICE AND THEN CLARIFIED THE REFUND PROCESS.

WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST REQUESTS FOR REFUNDS FOR A SINGLE MISSED PICKUP OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

OUR TRASH CONTRACT IS BASED OFF OF THE TOTAL TONNAGE THAT IS COLLECTED AND NOT JUST EACH INDIVIDUAL PICKUP.

SO IT DOES LEAVE SOME ROOM FOR THE CITY MANAGER HER DESIGNEE TO ALLOW FOR A REFUND PROCESS.

HOWEVER, IT CLARIFIES THE LANGUAGE AROUND OUR CURRENT PRACTICES.

LASTLY, IT ADDS A CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS LICENSE.

AND THIS LICENSE WOULD ALLOW FOR CONSTRUCTION, TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION OF DEBRIS TO BE COLLECTED WITHOUT A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT.

SO YOU WOULD JUST HAVE TO HAVE A CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS LICENSE.

THE LICENSE IS AN ANNUAL LICENSE THAT'S EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1 TO SEPTEMBER 30TH.

AND THE ORDINANCE ESTABLISHES REQUIREMENTS OF THE LICENSE HOLDER AND ESTABLISHES AN ANNUAL FEE, WHICH WAS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT.

THE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS IS DEFINED AS DIRT, CONCRETE, ROCKS, BRICKS OR ANY OTHER TEMPORARY WASTE THAT RESULTS FROM CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION PROJECTS, INCLUDING ANYTHING THAT IS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY A BYPRODUCT OF CONSTRUCTION.

SO THIS WOULD NOT, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAD A PERMANENT ROLL OFF CONTAINER AT YOUR FACILITY, YOU WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH REPUBLIC.

HOWEVER, IF YOU WERE DOING A DEMOLITION AT YOUR HOUSE, THIS WOULD OPEN UP THE MARKET FOR PROVIDERS TO COME IN.

THE FEE PROPOSED THAT WAS APPROVED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA IS $100 PER VEHICLE PER YEAR.

SO AND THAT'S EQUIVALENT TO THE FEE FOR LIQUID WASTE HAULERS IN THE CITY.

AND JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THE UPDATED LANGUAGE CURRENTLY IN THE SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE.

THE HIGHLIGHTED SECTION IS THAT DEBRIS AND TRASH HAS TO BE REMOVED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE, EITHER BY THEIR OWN CREW OR THE CITY CONTRACTOR.

THE UPDATED LANGUAGE INCLUDES THE CONSTRUCTION OR EXCUSE ME, DEMOLITION DEBRIS LICENSEE.

AND THIS IS THE INFORMATION THAT IS REQUIRED OF THE LICENSEE.

SO WE REQUIRE CONTACT BUSINESS INFORMATION INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY FINANCE.

THE TYPES OF VEHICLES BEING USED AND HOW MANY VEHICLES ARE BEING USED.

A AUTHORIZED DISPOSAL SITE.

THE PICKUP SCHEDULE.

PAYMENT OF THE ANNUAL FEE.

CLEARLY MARKED VEHICLES AND COVERS ON VEHICLES.

PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LICENSEE THAT WAS VERY QUICK BUT HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. LANEAVE? SEEMS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

OKAY GREAT. THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON IT.

THANK YOU. IF THERE'S NO MORE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, LET ME OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM 6A.

SEEING NONE I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COUNCIL ANY DISCUSSION, ANYTHING YOU GUYS WANT TO TALK THROUGH.

WE CHEWED ON IT PRETTY GOOD ON THE FIRST READING.

OK SEEING NO DISCUSSION.

I'LL TAKE A MOTION. YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6A.

OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 337A SECOND READING AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE NUMBER 337 ESTABLISHING CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS LICENSE AND MODERNIZING THE ORDINANCE.

SUBJECT TO STAFF REVIEW DATED OCTOBER 18, 2022, NOTING THAT WE'RE APPROVING THE SECOND READING ORDINANCE NUMBER 337-A AMENDING THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE WASTE ORDINANCE NUMBER 337 ESTABLISHING A CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS LICENSE AND MODERNIZING THE ORDINANCE.

WE HAVE A MOTION IS THERE A SECOND.

SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM 6A PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

AND SEEING AS HOW WE ARE RIGHT AT 7:00 PM, WE ARE GOING TO JUMP BACK TO ITEM NUMBER 5, WHICH IS OUR PUBLIC FORUM.

[5. Public Forum. (The Public Forum will not begin prior to 7:00p.m. This is the public's opportunity to address the City Council about non-agenda items. During this proceeding, the City Council will not discuss, consider, or take action on any item presented. We respectfully ask that anyone stepping forward to speak during Public Forum to please limit remarks to three minutes or less.) ]

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR A PUBLIC FORUM? SEEING DONE. WE WILL CLOSE PUBLIC FORUM AND JUMP BACK AHEAD TO ITEM 6B, WHICH IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 22-026, ZA22-0043 SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR WEST COAST

[6.B. Resolution No. 22-026, (ZA22-0043), Specific Use Permit for West Coast Exotics Texas, LLC to allow sales and service of new and/or used automobiles, trucks or motorhomes on property described as Lot 2R1R1, Block 5, Cornerstone Business Park Addition, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 405 S. Nolen Drive, Suite 200, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "S-P-2" Generalized Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #8. PUBLIC HEARING ]

DIRECTOR BAKER. MAYOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

[00:45:05]

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 405 SOUTH NOLEN, SUITE 200.

THE PROPOSED BUSINESS WILL BE LOCATED WITHIN A 6,455 SQUARE FOOT SUITE WITHIN A 26,000 PLUS SQUARE FOOT BUILDING. THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO TENANTS WITHIN THE FOR LEASE SPACE.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A FOUR YEAR APPROVAL OF THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT AT YOUR PLACE.

THERE IS AN EMAIL FROM THE APPLICANT.

THE INITIAL REQUEST WAS THREE YEARS, BUT UNDERSTANDING THAT THE INITIAL TERM LEASE TERM IS BEING SET AT FOUR YEARS HENCE THE CHANGE IN THE REQUEST.

THE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS OFFICE COMMERCIAL, ZONING IS SB2 GENERALIZE SITE PLAN.

THE USES THE ZONING HAS SOME LIMITED I1 USES AND SOME O1 USES.

IT'S A OFFICE FLEX TYPE WAREHOUSE BUILDING ACCESS IS OFF NOLAN THERE ARE SIDEWALKS AROUND THE BUILDING, PARKING BOTH IN THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE BUILDING LOCATION AND THE SUITE SPACE THAT'S PROPOSED TO BE OCCUPIED BY THE SHOWROOM, IS SHOWN IN THE AERIAL HIGHLIGHTED IN RED.

THIS IS A STREET VIEW LOOKING BACK AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, AND THIS IS THE REAR OF THE BUILDING WITH A SIMILAR TYPE OF OFFICE FLEX BACK TO THE EAST. THIS IS THE EXHIBIT THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT THAT WENT OUT IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.

THEY ARE ASKING FOR A FOUR YEAR TERM WITH THE OPTION TO EXTEND AS IF THE LEASE EXTENSION UP TO A FIVE YEAR. THE HOURS OF OPERATIONS ARE SHOWN IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 9 TO 6 ON SATURDAYS 10 TO 5 AND THEN CLOSED ON SUNDAY.

THAT WILL BE SHOWROOM. AND THEN YOU SEE THE OFFICE HOURS 8 TO 8 EXCEPT FOR SUNDAY.

ON THE LEFT PART OF THE SLIDE IS THE EXHIBIT SHOWING THE SHOWROOM INDOOR SHOWROOM AND WHERE THE CARS WOULD BE LOCATED.

THE PHOTO ON THE SLIDE IS A EXISTING FACILITY NORTH OF SAN DIEGO IN CALIFORNIA.

THAT'S A 70,000 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE SPACE.

THE P&Z DID ASK THE APPLICANT TO COME WHEN SHE CAME TO COUNCIL, TRY TO QUANTIFY THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT WOULD BE THERE IN THE EMAIL THAT WAS LEFT AT YOUR PLACE THIS EVENING INDICATED A RANGE BETWEEN 10 AND 24 AND THE APPLICANT CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE METHODOLOGY HOW THAT NUMBER WAS DERIVED.

JUST SOME PHOTOS OF THE INTERIOR SPACE PARKING ANALYSIS WAS DONE GIVEN THE USE, AND PARTICULARLY AS THIS IS MORE BY APPOINTMENT AND THE RETAIL TRAFFIC WILL NOT MIMIC A NORMAL DEALERSHIP.

THE SPACES REQUIRED VERSUS WHAT'S PROVIDED IT MEETS THE PARKING REQUIREMENT.

THERE ARE SOME OUTDOOR LIGHTING, SOME BAY DOORS IN THE BACK TO ALLOW THE VEHICLES TO MOVE IN AND OUT.

JUST A COUPLE OTHER PHOTOS.

AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OPPOSITION TO THIS REQUEST.

THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR A THREE YEAR PERIOD, WHICH WAS THE INITIAL REQUEST AND AS MENTIONED THAT AFRICA HAS TO CHANGE THAT REQUEST TO FOUR YEAR WITH AN OPTION TO EXTEND WITH THE EXTENSION OF THE LEASE OF THE BUILDING.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR BAKER. ANY QUESTIONS FOR KEN AT THIS TIME? I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

DIRECTOR BAKER, COULD YOU GO BACK TO YOUR PARKING SLIDE? YEAH, AND THIS MAY BE A DIFFICULT QUESTION.

IT'S THE BUILDING JUST BELOW 415 AND 417, CORRECT? YEAH, IT SAYS. YEAH.

YOU CAN SEE THE ARROW ON THERE. DO YOU HAPPEN TO RECALL 415, 417, 515.

WHAT ARE THOSE BUSINESSES.

THERE'S A TDCC IS BACK IN THAT AREA.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS. THAT'S THEIR.

YEAH. AND THIS IS MORE OF A FLEX TYPE OF USE IN THESE BUILDINGS HERE.

IS 515 IMPACT FITNESS?

[00:50:03]

IT'S THEIR FACILITY, A PROCEDURE FACILITY, I THINK.

SURGERY CENTER, 515? YES. YEAH. OKAY.

I DON'T KNOW MAYOR ABOUT 415 OR 417.

OKAY. BUT THE ONE WITH THE 515 WITH THAT LITTLE BRANCH OUT IN FRONT.

THAT'S THE TDDC BUILDING.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. DIRECTOR BAKER, ON THE THREE YEAR VERSUS FOUR YEAR INITIAL TERM, WHAT HAVE WE DONE IN THE PAST ON SOMETHING ANALOGOUS TO THIS WITH AUTOMOBILE SALES OR SERVICE AND ALL THAT IN SOUTHLAKE.

YOUR NEXT CASE IS ACTUALLY A SIMILAR TYPE OF SUP REQUEST.

JUST IRONIC BOTH ON THE SAME NIGHT, BUT THAT'S BEEN APPROVED MULTIPLE YEARS.

BUT THAT INITIAL REQUEST WAS FOR THREE YEAR PERIOD.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME THOUGH, OUR ONLY AUTOMOBILE TYPE OF SHOWROOM, QUASI SHOWROOM IS OFF DAVIS.

IS THAT CORRECT? RIGHT MR. AVARY'S PLACE THAT'S IN THERE OFF GREENBRIAR IN THAT INDUSTRIAL PARK.

KIND OF A COLLECTOR'S THERE.

THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE THESE.

THE REASON FOR THE SUP IS BECAUSE THEY'RE SALES AND SOME OF THEM KEEP THE AUTO LICENSE.

SO LIKE MR. AVARY DOESN'T DO A LOT OF SALES AND BUSINESS, BUT HE MOVES ENOUGH PRODUCT TO MAINTAIN THAT SALES LICENSE THROUGH THE YEARS.

BUT WE DO HAVE OTHER STORAGE OF PRIVATE COLLECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, BUT NOT WHERE HIGH VOLUME SALES ARE OCCURRING.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY IS THE APPLICANT HERE.

COME ON DOWN.

MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU KNOW THE DRILL.

BUT PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN TELL US WHAT YOU GUYS ARE ALL ABOUT.

DEBRA PERRYMAN WITH SILVER OAK COMMERCIAL 2805 MARKET LOOP SUITE 100 IN SOUTHLAKE.

I REPRESENT THE PROPERTY OWNER NOLAN PROPERTIES, AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT.

HI. AND I'M ADRIAN FRANK WITH WEST COAST EXOTICS TEXAS AND 5705 MORLAIX COURT IN COLLEYVILLE, TEXAS.

THE APPLICANT. ALL RIGHT, WELL, WELCOME.

SO I'M NOT SURE THAT YOU WE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE.

AND I'M NOT SURE IT'S QUEUED UP HERE EITHER PRESENTATION THAT WE'VE MADE TO SPIN AND ALSO SUBMITTED FOR COUNCIL AND P&Z THE ONE THING THAT WE DID WANT TO ADDRESS AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THE REASON WE MADE THE CHANGE FROM THE THREE YEAR TO THE FOUR YEAR IS TYPICALLY LEASES OF THIS NATURE ARE NOT LESS THAN THREE ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 5.

HOWEVER, WITH THE TEXAS DEALERSHIP LICENSE, THOSE ARE RENEWED ON A TWO YEAR BASIS.

AND SO IF WE STAYED WITH THE THREE, WE WOULD BE IN BETWEEN THE CERTIFICATION AND THE REGISTRATION FOR THE TEXAS DEALERSHIP LICENSE.

SO THAT'S WHY WE MODIFIED IT TO THE FOUR YEAR SINCE P&Z HAD INDICATED THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS GOING TO BE JUST FOR THE INITIAL TERM AND NOT FOR THE ADDITIONAL RENEWAL PERIODS.

THAT WAY THEY WOULD COINCIDE WITH THE DEALERSHIP REGISTRATIONS AS WELL.

SO THAT'S WHY WE MODIFIED IT FROM 3 TO 4.

SO YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE A LICENSED DEALERSHIP? YES. YEAH.

WE'RE GOING TO BE AT TEXAS LICENSED DEALERSHIP.

AND SINCE THEY RENEW ON EVEN YEARS AND WE WERE GOING TO INITIAL THREE YEAR LEASE WITH THE RENEWAL, WE HAVE TO HAVE EVEN YEARS IN ORDER TO HAVE THAT COINCIDE.

WE CAN'T DO A TWO YEAR LEASE, SO WE HAVE TO DO A FOUR YEAR MINIMUM.

SO WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO BE ON UNEVEN YEARS.

THAT'S WHY WE SAY WE NEED TO DO THAT FOUR YEAR SUP SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THOSE EVEN YEARS.

SO THAT WAS WHY THE REQUEST CAME BACK FOR THE FOUR YEAR TERM INITIAL INSTEAD OF THE THREE.

WHAT VOLUME OF SALES DO YOU HAVE TO BE DOING TO QUALIFY AS A DEALER? IT'S ONLY 5 CARS A YEAR.

OKAY. SO IF YOU DO FIVE OR MORE, YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO REGISTER AS A DEALER.

WE HAVE TO BE.

YES, EXACTLY. BE A DEALER TO DO FIVE.

YES. FIVE CARS.

OKAY. YEAH, IT'S A LOW NUMBER.

CAN YOU GUYS SHED ANY LIGHT ON WHAT THE SHOWROOM IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE? I THINK THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ON ON THE DAIS ABOUT YOU SAID 10 TO 24.

BUT DOES THAT MEAN IT COULD VARY FROM 10 TO 24 OR DO YOU JUST NOT KNOW YET? OR WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? YEAH, SO THERE'S THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WILL WILL CAUSE IT TO VARY.

SO INITIALLY WE PLAN TO HAVE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 8 TO 12 CARS WHEN WE OPEN ON AVERAGE, PROBABLY 12 TO 15, BUT IT COULD BE AS MUCH AS MAYBE 24 OR 25, WE FIGURE IS THE MAX.

AND ONE OF THE REASONS THAT IT'S GOING TO VARY IS DEPENDING ON WHAT'S IN INVENTORY AT THE TIME, BECAUSE YOU THINK ABOUT DIFFERENT CARS, A MCLAREN, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DOORS OPEN OUTWARDS, THEY SWING OUT.

SO THAT CAR IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE SPACE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS OR EVEN OPEN ONE DOOR TO GET IN VERSUS, SAY, MAYBE A LAMBORGHINI HURACAN WHERE THE DOOR OPENS, YOU

[00:55:07]

SO IF YOU HAVE THAT OR IF YOU HAVE MAYBE A RANGE ROVER OR YOU HAVE A ROLLS ROYCE, RIGHT, YOU PICTURE A ROLLS-ROYCE GHOST IN COMPARISON TO A LAMBORGHINI, RIGHT? IT'S GOING TO TAKE UP A LOT MORE SPACE.

SO TO SAY, A SPECIFIC NUMBER WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CARS, IT CAN VARY IN SIZE.

YOU KNOW, A ROLLS-ROYCE GHOST IS GOING TO TAKE UP TWO AND A HALF TIMES THE SIZE OF YOU KNOW PORSCHE 911.

SO TO PUT A SPECIFIC NUMBER IS GOING TO VARY DEPENDING ON WHAT'S IN INVENTORY.

GOTCHA. DEPENDING ON.

YEAH, EXACTLY HOW MANY CARS ARE MOVING WILL FLUCTUATE ON HOW MANY CARS ARE IN INVENTORY.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE KIND OF GIVING THIS RANGE.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL OPEN WITH A LITTLE LESS WE WILL BUILD UP AND SAY DEPENDING ON THE CARS IN INVENTORY, IT'S GOING TO BE WITHIN THAT RANGE.

GOTCHA. AND EVERYTHING IS INDOOR, SO THERE IS NO OUTDOOR PARKING WITH REGARD.

AND THESE VEHICLES WOULDN'T BE STORED OUTSIDE BASED ON THE VALUES OF THOSE CARS.

AND SO AND WE DO EXCEED THE REQUIRED PARKING WITH REGARD TO ANY SORT OF PATRONS, GUESTS, TENANTS, STAFF.

SO WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL EXCESS PARKING AS WELL.

OKAY. AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE BUILDING BEHIND THAT 415 IS ABOUT 22,000 SQUARE FEET AND IT'S A WATER RESTORATION BY A RESTORATION COMPANY.

THEY DON'T USE ALL OF THEIR PARKING.

THEN YOU HAVE THE TDDC IN THE BUILDING UP FRONT NEXT DOOR AS WELL AS IN THE SURGERY CENTER BEHIND.

OKAY, COUNCIL, QUESTIONS? HOW MANY CARS DO YOU BASED ON YOUR MARKET MODEL, YOU KNOW, TO BRING THE BUSINESS HERE, HOW MANY CARS DO YOU ANTICIPATE SELLING A YEAR? I KNOW FIVE IS YOUR MINIMUM TO BE A DEALER, BUT HOW MANY DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU'LL SELL? WE DON'T REALLY KNOW SPECIFICALLY ON THAT, TO BE HONEST, BECAUSE WE'LL KIND OF SHARE INVENTORY WITH OUR CALIFORNIA STORE.

SO IF WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FIGURING IF WE MOVE 3 TO 5 CARS A MONTH, THIS DEALERSHIP WOULD BE DOING GREAT.

SO 30 TO 60 CARS MAYBE? YEAH. YEAH. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, TO BE HONEST, WE DO A LOT OF BUSINESS FROM THE CALIFORNIA STORE IN TEXAS.

YOU KNOW, WE THINK SOUTHLAKE, OBVIOUSLY, IS WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

IT'S THE PREMIER LOCATION, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO BE HERE.

WE WANT TO CATER TO THE SOUTHLAKE RESIDENTS WANT TO CATER TO THE CLIENTELE HERE.

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF THESE TYPE OF CARS HERE ALREADY.

THE SOUTHLAKE CAR SHOWS ARE GREAT INDICATION OF WHAT'S AROUND.

AND SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO CATER.

BUT, YOU KNOW, AS WE SAID, I MEAN, THIS IS NOT A CAR DEALERSHIP IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE, RIGHT? THIS IS VIP CLIENTELE.

THIS IS CONCIERGE SERVICE.

A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO BE SOURCING, YOU KNOW, SPECIFIC CARS FOR SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS.

SO A LOT OF IT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, VIP DELIVERY SERVICE FOR SOURCING A SPECIFIC CAR FOR A PERSON.

AND EXCUSE ME, I'M JUST NOT REAL FAMILIAR WITH THIS MARKET.

I DON'T HAVE A MCLAREN OR A ROLLS-ROYCE GHOST LAYING AROUND.

BUT ARE THESE ALL PREVIOUSLY OWNED VEHICLES? TYPICALLY. YES. OKAY.

SO OBVIOUSLY, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT DOING TRADITIONAL SERVICE AND REPAIRING ENGINES AND STUFF ON SITE, BUT WHAT DEGREE OF SERVICE DOES GO INTO VEHICLES WHEN I MEAN, WE USE THE TERM IT'S CALLED SERVICE, BUT WE USE THE TERM SERVICE VERY LOOSELY BECAUSE THE ONLY THING WE SERVICE IS WHAT I'LL CALL RECONDITIONING, WHICH IS CLEANING UP A CAR TO GET IT READY FOR DELIVERY.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY MECHANICAL WORK DONE ON SITE.

WE'RE NOT REBUILDING ANY ENGINES.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE REPAIR WORK AND REVVING UP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, SAY IF WE HAD TO GET A MOBILE TIRE OUT TO CHANGE A TIRE OR SOMETHING, WE MIGHT DO THAT.

BUT FOR THE MOST PART, ANY SERVICE STUFF THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE THE CAR IS GOING TO BE SENT TO A SERVICE CENTER.

SERVICE IS GOING TO BE DONE AND IT'S GOING TO BE BROUGHT BACK.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE CLEANING UP CARS AND PREPPING THEM FOR DELIVERY.

THAT'S IT. IT'S NOT A MECHANIC SHOP BY ANY MEANS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A SERVICE CENTER ON SITE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE REPAIRS DONE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

IT'S NOT WE'RE NOT PUTTING IN A SERVICE CENTER.

AND SO I HAVE A QUESTION AS WELL.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT PREPARING THEM FOR DELIVERY, ARE MOST OF YOUR CLIENTS COMING FROM ANOTHER STATE AND YOU'RE JUST DELIVERING WITH SIGHT UNSEEN? I KNOW IN THIS HIGH END CAR MARKET, PEOPLE LOOK FOR SPECIFICALLY WHAT THEY WANT.

THEY DON'T NEED TO COME TEST DRIVE IT IN THE WAY THAT US COMMON FOLK GO DO WHEN WE GO BUY A CAR.

BUT IS THAT THE MODEL IS MOST FOLKS WON'T COME AND TEST DRIVE THEY JUST ORDER AND YOU DELIVER.

YEAH I MEAN A THIRD OF OUR CARS NOW WE SHIP NOT EVEN SOMEBODY COMING TO DO THAT.

ANOTHER SAY, 20% PEOPLE JUST LITERALLY LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, THEY LITERALLY FLY IN.

I MEAN, IT'S GREAT BECAUSE WE'RE REAL CLOSE TO DFW, RIGHT? THEY LITERALLY FLY IN, JUST PICK THEM UP AND DRIVE THEM HOME.

THEY'VE ALREADY BOUGHT THEM BEFORE THEY EVEN ARRIVE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE WHAT'S LEFT OF ABOUT EXCUSE THE MATH, ABOUT HALF RIGHT.

THE THIRD AND 20%, ABOUT HALF THAT'S LEFT IS YET LOCAL CLIENTELE COMING IN AND PICKING UP THE CAR, LOOKING AT IT.

[01:00:07]

SO, YEAH, EXACTLY.

SO YOU WILL DO LIGHT TEST DRIVING? YEAH. OUT OF THE FACILITY.

SOMEONE WANTS TO TAKE IT AROUND THE BLOCK OR SOMETHING.

EXACTLY. AND IT'S GOING TO BE, I MEAN, AGAIN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TYPE OF CARS AND THE TYPE OF CLIENTELE THAT ARE THE SAME AS THE CARS.

THAT IF YOU LITERALLY COME OUT THERE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THESE CARS DRIVING BY, DRIVING DOWN SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

THESE ARE NOT, YOU KNOW, MR. TOAD'S WILD RIDE. WE DON'T ALLOW THAT.

THESE ARE NOT GOING TO BE TEENAGERS COMING IN.

WHAT WAS THAT ONE MORE TIME. I SAID, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE LIKE MR. TOAD'S WILD RIDE. RIGHT? OKAY. THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF CLIENTELE THIS IS.

WE DON'T ALLOW THAT. RIGHT. IT'S GOING TO BE SAFE.

[LAUGHTER] I'D SAY IF YOU LITERALLY IF YOU COME TO THIS LOCATION ANYWAY AND YOU SIT THERE FOR A HALF AN HOUR, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THESE CARS DRIVING BY ANYWAY.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE THOSE NORMAL KIND OF, SAY, TYPE OF CLIENTELE THAT HAVE THESE CARS.

THESE ARE NOT GOING TO BE PEOPLE RIPPING UP AND DOWN THE STREET.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW ANY OF THAT ANYWAY.

SURE. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE PULLING OUT, REVVING IT UP.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S NEIGHBORS IN THE BUILDING AND AROUND THERE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CONSIDERATE OF.

ANYWAY, WE HAVE WE AGAIN, WE HAVE ANOTHER DEALERSHIP.

WE'VE NOT HAD COMPLAINTS WITH THAT.

SO WE'RE VERY COURTEOUS ABOUT THAT.

AND THAT'S NOT THE PEOPLE THAT WE WORK WITH.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCIL? OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE YOU GUYS WANT TO SHARE BEFORE WE DELIBERATE? NO, WE'RE JUST AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

SOUNDS GOOD. STICK AROUND. WE MIGHT HAVE SOME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. GREAT.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

OKAY, WELL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM 6B.

SEEING NONE I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN IT UP FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION.

ANY THOUGHTS? I'M OKAY WITH IT.

I JUST I THINK WE CAN DISCUSS THE THREE YEAR VERSUS FOUR YEAR.

I'M FINE EITHER WAY.

SO I KNOW WE HAD THE OTHER CASE OR PRECEDENT.

THAT WAS THREE YEARS AND P&Z RECOMMENDED THREE YEARS, AND THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT WHY THEY'RE ASKING FOR FOUR YEARS.

I COULD GO EITHER WAY.

YEAH, I'M THE SAME WAY.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FOUR.

IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD REASON NOT TO PUT IT AT THREE, BUT I WISH THEM ALL THE VERY MUCH SUCCESS.

I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD MARKET FOR THIS.

SO YOU GUYS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FOUR AT THIS POINT? NO. TURN MY MIC ON.

I HAVE ZERO PROBLEM WITH THEM. I THINK IT'S A GREAT USE OF THE FACILITY AS WELL.

YEAH, SAME. I'M FINE WITH FOUR.

I'M FINE WITH FOUR. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

MY ONLY THOUGHTS ARE I DON'T KNOW.

I LOVE THE BUSINESS, I LOVE THE MODEL.

I LOVE HAVING IT IN SOUTHLAKE. I'M NOT A HUGE FAN OF THE LOCATION IS ALL.

I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S IN THE MIDDLE.

I MEAN, IT'S VERY CLOSE TO RETAIL AND RESIDENTIAL MEDICAL.

TO ME, IT'S JUST NOT A FIT THERE, YOU KNOW? SO IT MAY WELL PASS, BUT IN.

BUT FOR THOSE REASONS, I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED.

I DO THINK, THOUGH, THAT WE SHOULD TIGHTEN UP A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WOULD GET APPROVED IF IT DOES GET APPROVED.

FOR INSTANCE, PROBABLY GET AS PART OF A MOTION WHAT THE GENTLEMAN SAID AS FAR AS SERVICE, YOU KNOW, MAKE THAT CONCRETE THAT THIS ISN'T THERE'LL BE NO SERVICE PROVIDED ON SITE BECAUSE THINGS CHANGE OVER TIME.

YOU TEND TO FORGET ABOUT THINGS AND OVER FOUR YEARS THINGS CAN GET A LITTLE LOOSE.

I WOULD MENTION THAT AND THEN ALSO NOTE THAT THEIR SHOWROOM HOURS ARE DIFFERENT THAN THEIR BUSINESS OFFICE.

RIGHT NOW, THEIR SHOWROOM IS SHOWN TO CLOSE AT 9 TO 6 ON MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 10 TO 5 ON SATURDAY.

THE BUSINESS HOURS COULD BE 8 P.M.

AS NEEDED. AND FRANKLY, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

BUSINESS. YOU CAN GO WITH WHENEVER YOU WANT, BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO INCLUDE AN A MOTION TEST DRIVES WOULD BE DEFINED UNDER SHOWROOM TIMES, YOU KNOW, TO KEEP EVENINGS, THAT KIND OF THING.

THAT'S JUST FOR CONSIDERATION.

BUT I LIKE THE BUSINESS.

I JUST PREFER IT WOULD BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

UNDERSTOOD. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I MEAN, IF WE'RE ALL SET ABOUT FOUR, THEN LET'S TRY THAT ONE OUT.

YEAH, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING, BUT I DON'T THINK 8 P.M.

IS TOO LATE FOR ESPECIALLY IF THIS CLIENTELE IS HAVING TO FLY IN AND CATCH A LATE FLIGHT TO DO A TEST DRIVE.

I DON'T THINK 8:00 P.M. IS TOO LATE TO DO A SIMPLE TEST DRIVE.

YEAH. JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. YEAH.

YEAH, I WOULD SAY. YEAH. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.

I THINK YOU HAVE TO STAY A LITTLE BIT FLEXIBLE.

I MEAN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, I HESITATE TO INSERT MYSELF TOO MUCH INTO THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

SO. WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE WE'LL TAKE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMEMBER MCCASKILL.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 6B RESOLUTION NUMBER 22-026 CASE NUMBER ZA 22-0043.

SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR WEST COAST EXOTICS TEXAS LLC TO ALLOW SALES AND SERVICE OF NEW AND OR USED AUTOMOBILES, TRUCKS OR MOTOR HOMES ON PROPERTY

ALSO NOTING THAT SERVICE ON ENGINES WILL NOT BE PERMITTED, BUT WE ARE ALLOWING CLEANING AND DETAILING SERVICES ON SITE AND ALSO LIMITING THE TEST DRIVES WITHIN THE SHOWROOM OPERATING HOURS.

ALL SOUND GOOD? OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION IS THERE A SECOND.

SECOND, PLEASE, BEFORE WE VOTE, IS THERE A QUESTION? I THOUGHT WE WERE DECIDING NOT TO MAKE A MOTION INCLUDED WITH LIMITING THEIR TEST DRIVE HOURS, ACCORDING TO THE SHOW ROOM HOURS.

I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED, WAS TO LIMIT IT.

MY BAD. YOU WANT ME TO REDO IT? I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE ASKING FOR.

KEN SHOULD WE REDO THE MOTION? I'M SORRY I MISUNDERSTOOD YOU.

NO WORRIES. OKAY, SO WITH THE AMENDED MOTION, IS THERE A SECOND? STILL SECOND. OK.

THERE'S A SECOND PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. OK ITEM 6B PASSES 6 TO 1.
