Sep 07, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission

[00:00:01]

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.

[1. Call to Order.]

A LITTLE BIGGER CROWD THAN WE NORMALLY GET.

SO, WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT AND EXPERIENCING CITY GOVERNMENT WITH US.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT AFTER 6:30.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING US WAIT UNTIL THEN.

WE ALWAYS HAVE TO WAIT TILL AT LEAST 6:30 BEFORE WE CAN START THE MEETING.

MY NAME IS DAN KUBIAK. I'M THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

WELCOME TO CITY HALL.

WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH OUR AGENDA.

HOPEFULLY YOU'RE ABLE TO GET A COPY OF IT IN THE BACK, BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH IT IN OUR NORMAL ORDER THIS EVENING.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO MOVE ANYTHING AROUND.

SO JUST KNOW THAT WE EXPECT THOSE ITEMS IN THAT ORDER.

JUST A QUICK HEADS UP, SINCE I KNOW WE MIGHT HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO DON'T NORMALLY COME OUT TO THIS MEETING.

KIND OF HOW IT WORKS FOR EACH ITEM.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND READ IT OFF AND WE'LL GET A STAFF PRESENTATION.

THEY'LL READ OUT A REPORT THAT THEY'VE DONE ON THE PARTICULAR ITEM, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE APPLICANT PRESENT TO US.

WE MAY OR MAY NOT DELIBERATE EITHER KIND OF BEFORE OR AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION.

WE'LL JUST KIND OF TAKE THEM AS IT COMES THIS EVENING.

BUT WE WILL DELIBERATE UP HERE.

YOU'LL GET TO HEAR THAT.

AND THEN AT SOME POINT ON EACH ITEM, THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING.

THE WAY THOSE WORK IS, ANYBODY WHO'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND COMMENT AND WE'VE GOT A FEW CARDS HERE IS ABLE TO COME FORWARD AND COMMENT FOR UP TO THREE MINUTES.

YOU'LL SEE THERE'S SOME LITTLE LIGHTS THERE THAT I THINK ARE GREEN FOR TWO MINUTES, YELLOW ON THE THIRD MINUTE AND THEN RED THEREAFTER.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A LOT OF SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS HERE ON THE AGENDA THAT WE NEED TO GET TO AS WELL.

AND JUST TO BE CONSIDERATE OF THE OTHER ITEMS AND JUST YOUR OTHER RESIDENTS THERE, WE JUST ASK THAT YOU KEEP IT TO THREE MINUTES AND THEN PLEASE DIRECT ALL THE COMMENTS TO US.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND PROCESS THAT.

PLEASE DON'T DIRECT THEM TO ANYBODY ELSE, PLEASE.

YOU KNOW, TO THE EXTENT YOU CAN, PLEASE KEEP IT FOCUSED ON THE APPLICATION IN FRONT OF US AND THEN PLEASE ONLY BE SPEAKING IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY AT THE PODIUM AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK IF YOU DON'T WANT.

WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF CARDS HERE WHERE YOU CAN REGISTER YOUR OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT OF AN ITEM, AND I CAN JUST READ IT INTO THE RECORD AND IT WILL BE NOTED ACCORDINGLY.

SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF THE RULES, THE LAY OF THE LAND.

WE'LL GO THROUGH IT MAYBE AGAIN A LITTLE LATER AS A REMINDER IF WE NEED TO, BUT JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT THERE.

SO NOW WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START MOVING THROUGH THE AGENDA.

DENNIS, I GUESS, ARE THERE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS THIS EVENING? NO ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS THIS EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN. OKAY. KEEPING ON TIME.

ALL RIGHT. AND I'VE MADE THE CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS SO FAR, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA AND REVIEW, OR I GUESS SEE IF THERE'S ANY COMMENTS

[CONSENT AGENDA]

ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS ON THOSE ITEMS BEFORE WE CONSIDER A MOTION IS SEVEN AT THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST ALSO, I BELIEVE.

IS THAT RIGHT? DENNIS SEVEN IS.

UH, THE CURRENT REQUEST IS TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL SEPTEMBER 21ST, SO I THINK THAT'S CORRECT.

APPLICANT YES.

SO, I GUESS THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO A MOTION.

ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M GOING TO MAKE A LONG-WINDED MOTION HERE THAT WE APPROVE.

ITEM NUMBER FIVE ON OUR AGENDA, WHICH IS APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 17TH, 2023.

ALSO, A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE.

ITEM NUMBER SIX ON THE AGENDA, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-804 WSA 23-0008.

AND ON ITEM NUMBER SIX, THAT IS SPECIFICALLY APPROVING THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO TABLE THAT ITEM TO THE SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2023, PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION MEETING. ALSO ADDING ITEM NUMBER SEVEN WSA 23 0035 AGAIN AT THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, TABLING THAT ITEM TO THE SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2023, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.

AND THEN FINALLY, ITEM NUMBER EIGHT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA WSA 20 3-0050, WHICH IS A FINAL PLAT FOR GREEN ACRES EDITION.

AND ON ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, I WOULD MAKE THAT SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2023, AS WELL AS THE PLAT REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER TWO, DATED SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2023.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A LONG WINDED BUT FINELY CRAFTED MOTION BASED ON THE THUMBS UP I GOT FROM STAFF.

SO, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE, PLEASE.

MOTION PASSES.

6060. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. NOW, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

[Items 9 & 10]

[00:05:04]

AND YOU ARE FIRST UP ON THE REGULAR AGENDA.

SO, YOU LUCKED OUT IN ORDER.

SO NOW WE'LL GO AHEAD AND HEAR FROM STAFF ON THESE ITEMS. GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN.

COMMISSIONERS. AND THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY.

AND THIS IS THE CURRENT ZONING THEY HAVE B ONE BUSINESS SERVICE, PARK DISTRICT ZONING.

THIS IS THE FUTURE LAND USE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PROPERTY IS SPLIT BETWEEN RETAIL, COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE.

COMMERCIAL. RETAIL COMMERCIAL IS FOR LOWER TO MEDIUM INTENSITY, COMMERCIAL CATEGORY PROVIDING FOR NEIGHBORHOOD TYPE RETAIL SHOPPING FACILITIES AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES. IT'S INTENDED TO PROVIDE LIMITED LOCAL RETAIL AND OR OFFICE USES WHICH SERVE NEIGHBORHOODS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.

AND THE OFFICE COMMERCIAL CATEGORY IS A COMMERCIAL CATEGORY DESIGNED AND INTENDED FOR THE USE OF OFFICE AND LIMITED OFFICE RELATED ACTIVITIES.

IT'S ESTABLISHED FOR AND WILL BE ALLOCATED TO THOSE DISTRICTS BEST SUITED FOR SUPPORTING COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY OF AN OFFICE CHARACTER.

AND THIS IS JUST THE MORE DETAILED DEFINITION OF RETAIL COMMERCIAL.

I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS THIS A LAND USE MIX.

THAT'S KIND OF A GUIDE FOR HOW THE LAND SHOULD BE DIVIDED IN THAT CATEGORY.

AND THE SAME WITH THE OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

THERE IS A LAND USE MIX THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT.

AND THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IS TO ADD A SITE-SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION.

THEY ARE WANTING TO RETAIN THE UNDERLYING LAND USE DESIGNATIONS, BUT THEY JUST ADD A SUBTEXT TO OUR PLAN.

IT WOULD ALSO BE DESIGNATED ON THE LAND USE MAP.

AND SPECIFICALLY, IT WOULD BE TO ALLOW SP ONE DETAILED SITE PLAN ZONING TO ALLOW FOR A LARGE SINGLE TENANT RETAIL DEVELOPMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 75,000FT².

AND NOW I'M GOING TO MOVE ON INTO THE ZONING.

THESE ARE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR THIS CASE.

THEY'RE PROPOSING A PERMITTED USES IN THE B-1 AND C THROUGH C-3 CATEGORIES SINGLE TENANT OWNER OR BUSINESS OCCUPANCY EXCEEDING 60,000FT² OR WAREHOUSE USES.

THEY DO SPELL OUT IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE, OUTDOOR STORAGE OF PROPANE GAS FOR SALE OR RENT.

AND THAT'S SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN WITH MASONRY SCREENING.

THEY HAVE BUILDING COLOR STANDARDS.

THEY'RE PROPOSING THE USE OF REGAL RED THAT IS TYPICALLY NOT ALLOWED.

IT'S LIMITED TO THE METAL COPING CANOPIES AND SIGNAGE ON THE BUILDING.

AND NO MORE THAN 5% OF THE REGAL RED WOULD BE USED PER FACADE.

THEY DO SPECIFY BUILDING HEIGHT, THE MAXIMUM OF 20FT WITHIN 100FT OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

THAT'S PRETTY STANDARD WHAT WE SEE IN OUR EXISTING ZONING CATEGORIES.

AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING 40FT ELSEWHERE, INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.

FOR TREE CANOPY PROTECTION.

THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PRESERVE 4.3% OF THE TREE COVER.

AND THEY ARE PROPOSING THAT THE PLANTING THE TREES, THE TREES THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PLANT AT MATURITY WILL PROVIDE 22% GREATER CANOPY COVERAGE THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIRED EXISTING CANOPY COVERAGE FOR THE ORDINANCE.

THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO INCREASE THE CALIPER SIZE OF CANOPY TREES THAT THEY'RE PLANTING IN THE BUFFER YARDS WITH A STRAIGHT ZONING WITH THEIR CURRENT CANOPY COVER. THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PRESERVE 60%.

UNDER THE LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT THEY HAVE DESIGNATED UNDER THEIR DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.

THEY'RE PROPOSING TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TREE PLANTINGS, AND THEY'D BE INCREASING THE CALIPER SIZE OF THE BUFFER YARD TREES FROM 4IN TO 6IN, AND THE NET RESULT IS THE SAME CALIPER INCHES OF TREES WILL BE PROVIDED.

THEY'VE ALSO INCLUDED INFORMATION ABOUT TRAFFIC IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR ON SITE CIRCULATION, CUSTOMER DELIVERY AND SITE MAINTENANCE.

TRAFFIC WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE NORTHERNMOST DRIVEWAY.

DELIVERY AND MAINTENANCE TRAFFIC WILL PROCEED AROUND THE BUILDING IN A COUNTERCLOCKWISE FASHION AND EXIT THE SOUTHERLY DRIVE.

THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING SOME TRAFFIC SIGNAGE INSIDE THE CUSTOMER PICK UP AREA.

THERE WILL BE SIGNS NOTING THE SCHOOL DROP OFF AND PICK UP HOURS AND ENCOURAGE AVOIDING VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE DURING THE HOURS OF 730 TO 830 AND 3 TO 430.

AND THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING SCHOOL ZONE SIGNAGE THAT WILL BE PLACED ON THE PRIVATE DRIVE-IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TMUTCD STANDARDS.

AND THERE IS ALSO A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE TO THE DRIVEWAY ORDINANCE.

THE REQUIRED STACKING DEPTH BETWEEN A VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE AND THE PROPOSED SOUTH DRIVEWAY IS 100FT AND THEY'RE PROPOSING 41.5FT TO ALIGN WITH THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE COMMON ACCESS ROAD.

AND FOR THE SIDEWALK.

THE PATHWAYS PLAN DOES REQUIRE AN EIGHT FOOT PLUS SIDEWALK ALONG VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

[00:10:05]

AND HERE WE HAVE THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

AND THEN I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A LARGE VERSION UP HERE.

WE HAVE NORTH.

THIS HERE IS THE FUTURE VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

THE AS I NOTED.

THERE'S THE REQUIRED MINIMUM PARKING.

THE PARKING SPACES WITH THEIR TRAFFIC, WITH THEIR PARKING STUDY THAT THEY PROVIDED.

THE MINIMUM PARKING IS 70 SPACES AND THEY'RE PROPOSING 143 SPACES.

THESE ARE THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.

THESE ARE THE FRONT AND REAR DETAIL ELEVATIONS.

AND HERE ARE SOME RENDERINGS THAT THEY PROVIDED.

HERE'S THE SOUTH VIEW.

THE SOUTHWEST VIEW.

AND THIS IS THE REAR OF THE BUILDING, THE NORTHEAST VIEW.

THIS IS THE REAR OF THE BUILDING, THE NORTHWEST VIEW.

NORTH VIEW.

AND HERE IS THEIR PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN.

AND THIS IS THEIR TREE PRESERVATION PLAN.

ALL THE TREES SHOWN IN RED ARE THE TREES THAT ARE TO BE REMOVED AND THE GREEN ARE TO BE PRESERVED.

THE ONES IN BLUE ARE OFF SITE TREES THAT WILL BE REMAINING.

THIS IS A CURRENT STREET VIEW OF THE SITE.

AND THESE ARE THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSES THAT WE RECEIVED.

TO DATE, WE'VE RECEIVED THREE RESPONSES IN FAVOR FROM THESE THREE PROPERTY OWNERS HERE, AND THEN WE'VE ALSO RECEIVED FOUR.

UH, OPPOSITION LETTERS THAT ARE WITHOUT OUTSIDE OF THE 300FT.

I BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THE APPLICANT ALSO DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION.

OKAY. I MEAN, JUST MAYBE QUICKLY SUMMARIZING, I GUESS, STAFF'S OPINION NOT CONSISTENT WITH EITHER OF THE CURRENT LAND USE DESIGNATIONS ON THE SITE, I GUESS.

AND THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE AMENDMENT REQUEST.

YES. THAT THEY WOULD REQUIRE AT LEAST A SITE-SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION.

OKAY. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, AS YOU READ OFF, I GUESS AT LEAST A HANDFUL OF WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED VARIANCES RELATIVE TO A STRAIGHT ZONING CASE.

YES. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF AT THIS POINT? A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. CAN YOU PUT THE SLIDE BACK UP ON THE LAND USE DESIGNATION? I THINK IT WAS ONE OF THE EARLIER ONES.

YEAH. THE ONE WITH YOU.

JUST THE ONE WITH THE RED.

SORRY, THE ONE WITH THE ACTUAL CHANGE THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING.

YES. I'M SORRY.

OKAY. HAVE WE DONE? HOW MANY? I GUESS A BETTER QUESTION WOULD BE DENNIS OR JENNIFER, HAVE WE DONE OR WHERE HAVE WE DONE THESE KINDS OF CHANGES TO LAND USE WITH THESE SITE-SPECIFIC DESIGNATIONS BEFORE? I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER COUNT.

I CAN GIVE AN EXAMPLE.

I DO HAVE ONE.

OOPS, LET ME GO BACK THERE.

THERE WAS AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT ON SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD THAT.

OH, SHOOT. SORRY.

THERE WAS AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT ON SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD THAT HAD MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION, AND THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY, HISTORICALLY, WE HAD ALLOWED OFFICE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION.

BUT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, SINCE IT WAS RIGHT ON SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, IT'S THIS LITTLE ONE RIGHT HERE.

WE DESIGNATED IT FM 11.

THEY WERE REQUESTING AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE IT WAS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

IT WASN'T CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE PLAN AS WE HAD AMENDED WHAT THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION MEANT.

SO THEY HAD A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION FOR OFFICE DEVELOPMENT ON THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

WHEN WE WENT THROUGH AND AMENDED THE LAND USE PLAN, WHEN WE DID THE FULL REVIEW OF THE LAND USE PLAN THIS LAST CYCLE, WE ACTUALLY JUST CHANGED THAT WHOLE WE CHANGED IT TO OFFICE COMMERCIAL, BUT IT PREVIOUSLY HAD JUST AN OFFICE SITE.

SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE ONE HELP ME OUT? I MEAN, I CAN LOOK AT THE MAP, BUT IS THAT THE ONE? SO FIRST, FINANCIAL IS CLOSER TO WHITE CHAPEL.

IS THAT THE ONE WHERE THE MAMA'S PIZZA USED TO BE AND THE VET CLINIC OR TOO FAR OR ONE WAY OR THE OTHER? I THINK THIS IS THE SITE THAT IT BACKS UP TO THAT TENNIS COURT OR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITY AREA.

REMEMBER, IT'S KIND OF JUST RIGHT BY ITSELF.

THE FLOORING OR OR RUG COMPANY IS.

IT. IT'S JUST WEST OF THE ENTRANCE INTO TIMBERLAKE'S AND ABUTS THERE.

[00:15:03]

YEP. PRETTY.

PRETTY RECENT. YEAH.

YEAH. OKAY. I FOLLOW YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF RIGHT NOW? WE CAN ALWAYS ASK THEM MORE LATER.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THE APPLICANT HERE THIS EVENING.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A PRESENTATION.

I GUESS I'D ASK YOU TO STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

AND PLEASE TRY TO KEEP THE PRESENTATION ON POINT AND NOT.

YES, SIR. ABSOLUTELY.

TO EXTENDED.

AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU FINISH UP SHORT, WE'RE HAPPY TO JUST ASK QUESTIONS.

SO, MISTER CHAIR.

COMMISSIONER, MY NAME IS BILL DAHLSTROM 2323 ROSS AVENUE.

I'M HERE REPRESENTING FLORA AND DECOR ON THIS THIS APPLICATION.

I THANK YOU ALL FOR LETTING US COME FORWARD WITH THIS, THIS PRESENTATION.

AND AS HAS BEEN PRESENTED, WE'RE REQUESTING TO, TO BUILD A LAWN DECOR ON THE ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AND I'D LIKE TO THANK STAFF FOR THE DIRECTION THEY'VE GIVEN US.

THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE.

WE CAME TO THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE PRESENTED OUR CASE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, SPIN NUMBER EIGHT.

WE PRESENTED BEFORE SPIN NUMBER EIGHT.

GOT SOME FEEDBACK DURING THE SPIN NUMBER EIGHT MEETING, TOOK A COUPLE STEPS BACK, MADE MODIFICATIONS TO OUR PLAN, AND THEN WE HAD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING LAST WEEK.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS AND SHOW TO THE NEIGHBORS WHO DID SHOW UP.

SO WE APPRECIATE THE INPUT FROM THE NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE BEEN PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROCESS.

BUT AS WAS PRESENTED, OUR REQUEST IS BASICALLY TWO MAJOR APPLICATIONS.

ONE IS THE CHANGE TO THE COMP PLAN AND THE SITE SPECIFIC, WHICH OBVIOUSLY, AS WAS STATED, HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE.

AND THE SECOND IS THE ZONING CHANGE.

AND AS WAS PRESENTED, THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY HAS TWO COMP PLAN DESIGNATIONS ON IT.

I WON'T REPEAT THAT, BUT WE THINK THAT THE THE PROPOSED USE IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENSITY OF USES OF THE ADJACENT USES, SPECIFICALLY THE MARSHALLS AND THE PGA.

SO THE SIZE OF THE BUILDINGS, THE TYPE OF BUILDINGS.

AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC AND THE TYPE OF TRAFFIC WE'RE PROPOSING AS WELL.

SO IN THAT REGARD, WE THINK THAT THERE ARE CONSISTENCIES AND SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSAL UNDER THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN TERMS OF PROVIDING QUALITY DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS QUALITY DEVELOPMENT CONFORMANCE WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.

I THINK BY MERELY LOOKING AT THE THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH AND SEEING THE CONTIGUOUS USES THAT WE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THIS AREA.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS ANOTHER GOAL UNDER THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AND AND I SUGGEST THAT WHEN YOU HEAR THE REST OF OUR PRESENTATION BY MR. COCHRAN, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE HAVE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THE COMMENTS RAISED BY THE NEIGHBORS.

WE HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AND WE'VE ACTUALLY WORKED WITH THE CITY STAFF ON SOME OF THOSE CHANGES AS WELL, BECAUSE A LOT OF MY PRESENTATION HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN.

I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MR. COCHRAN WITH FLORIN DECOR.

HE'S GOING TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE OPERATIONS.

AND WE HAVE OUR FULL TEAMS HERE TONIGHT.

WE HAVE OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, ARCHITECT, ENGINEER, TRAFFIC ENGINEER.

SO, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY ASPECT OF OUR PROPOSAL OR ANY OF THE MODIFICATIONS WE'RE REQUESTING, WE'LL BE ABLE TO PULL UP ONE OF OUR CONSULTANTS AND RESPOND. SO, I'D LIKE TO TURN THE PODIUM OVER TO MR. COCHRAN AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU.

SAME, SAME COMMENT.

NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE, FOR THE RECORD.

THANK YOU. MR. CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS PHILIP COCHRAN.

I'M WITH FLOOR & DECOR.

WE'RE LOCATED AT 2300 WINDY RIDGE PARKWAY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

30339. AS BILL SAID, WE'RE HERE WITH OUR CONSULTANT TEAM.

AND TONIGHT, I'M HAPPY TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR APPLICATION FOR OUR NEW STORE TO BE LOCATED IN SOUTH LAKE.

AFTER CAREFUL AND STRATEGIC REVIEW OF THIS MARKET, OUR REAL ESTATE TEAM BELIEVES THIS IS THE BEST LOCATION FOR US TO SERVE OUR GUESTS AND OUR CLIENTS IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE DFW METROPLEX.

SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN A VIBRANT AND SUCCESSFUL COMMERCIAL NODE THAT HAS A GOOD POPULATION MIXTURE OF CONTRACTORS AND PROFESSIONALS DO IT YOURSELFERS AND ESTABLISHED HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE LOOKING TO MAKE UPGRADES TO THEIR HOME.

WE BELIEVE POSITIONING OURSELVES WITHIN THIS EXISTING COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL LAND USE WILL ALLOW US TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL STORE IN THE SOUTHLAKE AREA AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES FOR MANY YEARS.

I'M GOING TO SKIP OVER THOSE TWO SLIDES AS YOU'VE SEEN THOSE BEFORE.

BUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FLOOR & DECOR . WE WERE FOUNDED IN ATLANTA IN THE YEAR 2000. WE ARE A LEADING, NATIONAL SPECIALTY RETAILER OF HARDWOOD SURFACE FLOORING, TILE, WOOD, STONETOOLS AND ACCESSORIES.

[00:20:02]

AND AS OF AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, WE'VE REACHED A MILESTONE OF 204 STORES NATIONWIDE.

EACH FLOOR IN THE CORE LOCATION STOCKS ROUGHLY UP TO A MILLION SQUARE FOOTAGE OF FLOORING PRODUCTS.

AVERAGE TICKET PRICE PER CUSTOMER IS ROUGHLY $500.

WE NOW OFFER FREE DESIGN SERVICES IN THE STORE.

MOST OF THE CUSTOMER BASE IS MADE UP OF PROFESSIONALS.

ROUGHLY 60%.

THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE MERCHANT ARE THE CEM OR STORE MANAGER IS PROMOTED WITHIN THE COMPANY AND WE HIRE LOCALLY.

THE HOURS OF THE STORE ARE FROM 7 A.M.

TO 7 P.M.

AND DELIVERIES TO THE STORE OCCUR AFTER 10 P.M.

ONCE WE'VE SHUT DOWN FOR RETAIL HOURS.

OUR PROPOSAL WILL ALLOW US TO BUILD A QUALITY AND ATTRACTIVE RETAIL FACILITY WITH AN OPEN AND SPACIOUS SHOWROOM.

THIS IS ALLOWING US TO DO A GROUND UP BUILD.

WE WILL HAVE A MODERN AND SAFE STOCK ROOM THAT WILL ALLOW FOR QUICK AND EASY CUSTOMER PICKUP.

OUR ARCHITECTURE WILL MEET THE MASONRY REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND OUR SITE DESIGN HAS BEEN UPDATED TO ADDRESS MANY OF THE CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY.

FROM THE SPIN MEETING.

SPECIFICALLY, WE REDUCED OUR PROPOSED SITE ACCESS FROM 3 TO 2 POINTS OF ACCESS, BOTH OF WHICH WILL BE UTILIZING THE EXISTING BUILT COMMERCIAL DRIVEWAY AND THE COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER.

WE HAVE LOCATED THE CUSTOMER PICKUP AREA AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SOUTH EASTERN PROPERTY CORNER TO KEEP CUSTOMER TRAFFIC AWAY FROM SOUTH VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

WE'VE INCREASED BUFFERING AND LANDSCAPING ALONG OUR SHARED PROPERTY LINE WITH KING'S UNIVERSITY AND THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE.

ADDITIONALLY, WE'LL BE INSTALLING AN EIGHT FOOT MASONRY WALL AS SHOWN ON THE PLANS.

TO ASSIST WITH NOISE BUFFERING AND TO MINIMIZE THE VIEW OF THE STORE FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST PROPERTY LINES.

THE LOADING AREA FOR THE STOCK ROOM WILL ALSO BE SHIELDED FROM THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES BY A TEN FOOT WALL, MINIMIZING ANY VIEWS OF THE DELIVERIES.

SITE LIGHTING HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO MEET THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKES ORDINANCES AND AS WELL AS CREATE A SAFE EVENING SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.

DELIVERY TRUCKS WILL UTILIZE THE INGRESS EGRESS, POINT TO THE NORTH AND FOLLOW THE DRIVE AISLE AROUND THE BUILDING TO THE LOADING AREA AND UTILIZE THE SOUTHERN DRIVEWAY TO EXIT THE SITE AGAIN NORTH.

ALTHOUGH STORE DELIVERIES WILL NOT CONFLICT WITH SCHOOL HOURS, WE WILL INSTRUCT OUR DRIVERS AND TRUCK TRAFFIC TO UTILIZE ACCESS ONTO SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

WE BELIEVE OUR NEW STORE WILL COMPLEMENT THE SURROUNDING COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS WHILE MINIMIZING OUR IMPACT ON THE INSTITUTIONAL USES AND RESIDENTIAL HOMES NEARBY. WE HOSTED A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING ON AUGUST 30TH AND INVITED OVER 30 NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.

WE HAD SIX VERY THOUGHTFUL CITIZENS ATTEND WHO HAD VERY GOOD QUESTIONS THAT WE STRIVE TO ADDRESS.

AND WE SHARED OUR REVISED SITE PLAN WITH THEM TO ACCOMMODATE OUR HOPES FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

WE'VE ALSO DISCUSSED THE PROJECT WITH ALL OF OUR ABUTTING NEIGHBORS AND HAVE SUPPORT OF THOSE TO OUR NORTH, WESTERN AND EASTERN PROPERTY LINES.

ADDITIONALLY, WE DID TAKE TIME TO MEET WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND TO PRESENT THE PROJECT TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION, WHO APPRECIATED US SHARING THE APPLICATION INFORMATION AND THANKED US FOR OUR TIME.

WE BELIEVE THAT THIS NEW STORE WILL BENEFIT THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE BY BRINGING A COMPLEMENTARY LAND USE THAT WILL ADD A STABLE AND SIGNIFICANT REVENUE TO THE LOCAL TAX BASE. MY TEAM IS HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE, AND WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF OUR APPLICATION. I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER ANY ADDITIONAL TIME I HAVE FOR ANY REBUTTAL IN THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU. JUST JUST A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.

I GUESS, LOOKING AT YOUR LOCATIONS, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT A LOCATION IN DENTON, A LOCATION KIND OF IN NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, LOCATION, KIND OF CLOSE TO FARMERS BRANCH, I GUESS, FOR THIS LOCATION.

WHAT'S THE CUSTOMER PULL THAT YOU EXPECT? I GUESS? I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY SOUTHLAKE, BUT WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES NEARBY? THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

THANK YOU. WE'RE LOOKING TO PULL FROM THE GRAPEVINE COLLIERVILLE, MOSTLY THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE METROPLEX.

SO WE ENVISION SOUTHLAKE KELLER KELLER TROPHY CLUB.

THAT IS CORRECT. WESTLAKE OKAY.

OKAY. THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT FOR NOW, FROM A CIRCULATION, FROM A CIRCULATION STANDPOINT, I'M THINKING THROUGH 18 WHEELERS.

[00:25:08]

HOW ARE THEY ACCESSING ACCESSING THE SITE AND GOING OUT OF THE SITE? WOULD YOU ALLOW ME TO SWITCH A COUPLE OF SLIDES TO A SLIDE THAT I CAN SHOW YOU SOME TRUCK PATH.

THANK YOU. WHAT WE ENVISION ARE WHAT WE PLAN TO INSTRUCT. OUR DELIVERY TEAM IS FOR THEM TO ACCESS THE SITE VIA THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY HERE, COME INTO THE SITE VIA THE NORTHERN DRIVE DRIVEWAY, USED, UTILIZE THE DRIVE.

I'LL PULL IN.

LOAD. AND THEN EXIT THE SITE THE SAME WAY THEY CAME IN.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? FOLLOW UP QUESTION ON THAT.

I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN LISTENING CLOSELY ENOUGH.

SO ARE 18 WHEELERS INTENDED TO COME OFF OF SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD RIGHT THERE? IS THAT WAS THAT WHAT YOU WERE SAYING? THE DELIVERY THE STORE DELIVERIES TYPICALLY OCCUR AFTER 10 P.M.

WHEN WE'VE ENDED RETAIL HOURS, AND THE THOUGHT WOULD BE FOR OUR DELIVERY TRUCK, THE 18 WHEELER, TO UTILIZE THE EXISTING DRIVE HERE AND THEN ENTER THE SITE FROM OUR PROPOSED NORTHERN DRIVEWAY THAT WILL PREVENT ANY CONFLICTS WITH SOUTH VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

DOWN HERE. OKAY.

YEAH, THAT. I MEAN, WE CAN GET INTO IT LATER, BUT THAT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE WORST ENTRANCES IN SOUTHLAKE.

AND I THINK TO HAVE 18 WHEELERS GO IN THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM.

JUST WE CAN GET INTO IT LATER.

BUT INITIAL COMMENT.

YEAH. AND TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT, HOW I GUESS THE FIRST QUESTION IS THE DRIVERS OF THESE 18 WHEELERS, ARE THEY FLOOR AND DECOR OWNED TRUCKS OR IS IT A THIRD PARTY? BECAUSE THEN IF IT'S A THIRD PARTY, HOW ARE YOU ENFORCING DIRECTIONALLY WHICH WAY THEY'RE GOING? THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

OPERATIONALLY, WE WE HAVE OUR OWN LOGISTICS TEAM.

OKAY. AND GALLERY, PLEASE.

NO, NO COMMENTS FROM THE GALLERY.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID EARLIER. PLEASE, JUST COMMENT WHENEVER YOU'RE UP HERE AT THE PODIUM.

WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ORDER HERE. OKAY? THANK YOU. GOOD.

WELL, MY CONCERN IS KIND OF THE SAME THING WITH WITH I DON'T KNOW WHAT WHAT THE THROAT IS OF THAT DRIVEWAY FOR 18 WHEELERS COMING IN.

IF THEY WERE COMING FROM THE WEST, COMING IN, IF THAT WOULD BE TOO SHARP OF A TURN.

BUT IS THERE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS THAT WAS CONDUCTED THAT GOES ALONG WITH A LOT OF YOUR PREP WORK FOR THE SITE DEVELOPMENT? WE HAVE TWO TRAFFIC STUDIES, AND I CAN BRING UP OUR CONSULTING ENGINEER FOR THAT.

WE DO HAVE ONE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT IS SPECIFIC TO FLOOR & DECOR AND THEN ONE THAT'S SPECIFIC TO THIS SITE.

AND IF YOU'D LIKE, I WILL INTRODUCE THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND THEY CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT IN REGARD TO THE 18-WHEELER, THOUGH, DELIVERIES ARE AFTER 10 P.M.

SO MOST TRAFFIC ON SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD WOULD BE MINIMIZED AT THAT TIME.

AND WE CAN WAIT IF WE'RE GOING TO DELVE INTO IT MORE.

BUT REGARDLESS OF THE TRAFFIC, JUST MESSING UP, IF THEY'RE CUTTING CORNERS AND HITTING THE SIDEWALK AND MESSING UP THE SHRUBBERY AND THE LANDSCAPING AND THAT SORT OF THING. SO ANY OTHER QUICK QUESTIONS? ARE WE GOOD? OKAY.

WE CAN ALWAYS CALL YOU BACK UP IF WE HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS.

MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU. I THINK WE'RE GOOD FOR NOW.

BOARD MEMBERS. THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I GUESS DOES THAT DO IT FOR THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION? OKAY. NOW, I THINK I GUESS NORMALLY WE'D KIND OF START THE PUBLIC HEARING, BUT I THINK IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL ON THIS ONE JUST TO START A LITTLE BIT OF THE DELIBERATIONS FIRST AND THEN HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF CONCLUDE DELIBERATIONS.

I GUESS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF MATERIALS ON THIS ONE.

YOU KNOW, SPENT THE WEEKEND REVIEWING IT.

AND A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM RESIDENTS AS WELL IN TERMS OF A LOT OF NOTES AND EMAILS AND, YOU KNOW, JUST LOOKING AT IT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WHO'S BEEN UP HERE TEN YEARS, I CAN'T REMEMBER TOO MANY TIMES.

AND LET ME JUST SAY, I USUALLY I TRY TO APPROACH EVERYTHING PRETTY CONSTRUCTIVELY AND SEE, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A WAY TO BRAINSTORM SOMETHING THAT WORKS? FLOOR & DECOR IS A GREAT RETAILER.

I THINK A LOT OF US IN THE ROOM PROBABLY SHOP THERE.

I KNOW I HAVE I NEVER LOOK IN THESE SITUATIONS AT THE TENANT THE TENANTS IRRELEVANT TENANTS COME AND GO.

WHAT WHAT IMPROVEMENTS ARE YOU BUILDING AND HOW INTENSE ARE THEY?

[00:30:01]

I MEAN, IF I JUST READ IT, YOU KNOW, THE DEFINITIONS OF THE EXISTING LAND USE OR NEIGHBORHOOD TYPE, LOCAL, LIMITED RETAIL SERVE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S CLOSE PROXIMITY, WHICH WE JUST HEARD IS NOT NECESSARILY THE GOAL COMPATIBLE WITH ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY USES, AND THAT'S THE RETAIL COMMERCIAL CATEGORY, THE OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS ISN'T CONSISTENT WITH THAT EITHER.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE ZONING CASE, AGAIN, KIND OF A HANDFUL PLUS OF WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED VARIANCES.

SO I MEAN, I LIKE FLOORING DECOR AS A TENANT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WELL-RUN ORGANIZATION.

I THINK A LOT OF US SHOP THERE.

BUT AND I'M CONSTRUCTIVE ON, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT HERE.

BUT IN TERMS OF THIS SPECIFIC LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUEST, I WOULD STRUGGLE TO SUPPORT IT.

WE CAN HEAR FROM THE OTHER MEMBERS AS WELL, BUT I THINK I'D STRUGGLE TO SUPPORT BOTH THE LAND USE AMENDMENT AND THE ZONING CHANGE.

BUT I GUESS LET'S KIND OF PASS IT AROUND THE DAIS A LITTLE BIT.

JUST KIND OF SEE WHERE MAYBE START WITH THE VICE CHAIR AND JUST SEE WHERE EVERYBODY ELSE KIND OF SITS AND THEN WE CAN OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AFTER THAT.

YEAH, I WANT TO TRY NOT TO REPEAT TOO MUCH OF WHAT YOU SAID, BUT I WOULD JUST SAY I THINK IT'S A GREAT PRESENTATION.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT BUSINESS.

YOU ALL DID A REALLY GOOD JOB PRESENTING THE MATERIAL IN THE PACKET THAT WE HAVE.

I LIKE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE LOCATION, AND I THINK THAT'S BECAUSE I WOULD ECHO WHAT THE CHAIRMAN SAID, THE LAND USE PLAN.

I REMEMBER BACK IN THE DAY, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS 10 OR 11 YEARS AGO.

YEAH. AND SOME OF THESE SAME CONCERNS CAME UP.

AND I REMEMBER THERE WAS ACTUALLY DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE ROAD BETWEEN THE PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE AND THE SCHOOL WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN PAST GATEWAY CHURCH, WHAT USED TO BE GATEWAY CHURCH.

AND THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT.

SO I REALIZE THE TRAFFIC ISSUE IS THERE, AND AFTER 10:00, Y'ALL ARE TRYING TO MITIGATE THAT AND MINIMIZE THAT.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE PROBLEMATIC NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY IT IS, JUST BECAUSE THAT'S SUCH A NARROW TURN IN.

AND INVARIABLY, PRESUMABLY, NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE AND NOBODY UP HERE ON THE DAIS.

BUT INVARIABLY, PEOPLE TRY AND PULL OUT OF THERE AND HANG A LEFT TO CROSS TRAFFIC.

AGAIN, I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE AFTER TEN, BUT I COULD EASILY SEE 18 WHEELER DRIVERS TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING.

AND SO FOR ME, THAT'S THAT'S PROBLEMATIC.

BUT THE BIGGER ISSUE IS THE LAND USE PLAN CHANGING, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU GUYS COULD FIND ANOTHER LOCATION IN SOUTHLAKE BECAUSE WE'D REALLY LIKE TO HAVE YOU HERE, BUT THAT'S KIND OF MY THOUGHTS.

OKAY. THANKS, VICE CHAIR.

I'LL JUST KEEP GOING DOWN THE DAIS HERE.

CONVENIENCE? YEAH.

AGAIN, DON'T WANT TO BE REDUNDANT.

SEEMS TO BE A GOOD BUSINESS.

NOTHING AGAINST THEM. AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU FOR THE DESIRE TO BE HERE.

BUT FOR THE SAME REASONS THEY'VE ECHOED, PARTICULARLY THE LAND USE PLAN.

OUR STAFF PUTS A LOT OF TIME AND THOUGHT INTO THE LAND USE PLAN AND PARTICULARLY MEMBERS ON THIS BOARD DO.

AND IT'S INTENTIONAL AND IT'S JUST A MONUMENTAL TASK TO WANT TO CHANGE THAT.

ANY AS LITTLE OR MUCH AS YOU WANT TO SAY OR NOT AT ALL, OR YOU CAN SAVE IT FOR LATER.

I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT AT THIS TIME.

OKAY, I'LL GO TO MY RIGHT, YOUR LEFT HERE.

MR. ALLEN. I DON'T THINK I HAVE TOO MUCH MORE TO ADD.

I MEAN, I CAN'T I DON'T THINK I CAN REALLY SUPPORT THIS AS WELL WITH A MORE INTENSE USE ON THIS BASED ON THE LAND USE PLAN.

AND THE ACCESS IS CONCERNING TO ME.

OKAY. ANY OTHER.

QUICK COMMENT. YEAH, I DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH MORE TO SAY.

I MEAN, ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH LOOKING AT THAT TRAFFIC? I DON'T EVEN THINK IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SMALL CAR TO STAY IN THE CORRECT LANES TURNING LEFT IN OR OUT OF THERE.

SO TO HAVE TRUCK TRAFFIC, I THINK WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THAT.

WHOLE INTERSECTION AREA. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, WITH THAT KIND OF INITIAL DELIBERATION, I THINK I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING THEN.

AND THE FIRST THING I'M GOING TO DO IS THERE WERE COMMENT CARDS TURNED IN IN TERMS OF PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO REPRESENT OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT BUT NOT SPEAK.

BUT IT WILL GET WRITTEN INTO THE RECORD.

SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND DO THAT NOW.

AND JUST TO KNOW I'VE BEEN DOING THIS TEN YEARS AND THIS IS THE HARDEST PART OF THE JOB, IS READING SOME OF THE HANDWRITING HERE AND PRONOUNCING NAMES CORRECTLY.

SO I'M GOING TO DO A BLANKET APOLOGY RIGHT NOW FOR EVERYBODY.

BETSY WILLIFORD 225 EASTWOOD LOOKS LIKE DRIVE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK AND IS IN OPPOSITION.

ALEXANDRA BRICE 1115 KELLY'S DRIVE.

WISHES TO SHARE HER VIEWS AS OPPOSED.

SO SORRY. I'LL PUT THAT IN THE OTHER STACK.

STACY HAMILTON 705 KENT COURT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK AND IS IN OPPOSITION.

WE HAVE NICOLA.

WOW. SOUTHVIEW TRAIL IS THE ONLY ADDRESS I CAN READ HERE IN NICOLE WAS THE FIRST NAME AND THE REST OF IT. I APOLOGIZE, BUT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT DOESN'T NOTE IF SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION.

SO MAYBE I DID MY BEST.

LET'S PUT IT PUT IT THAT WAY.

AND THEN MARIE MONTEMAYOR I THINK 1234 TIMBERLAKE COURT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT IS OPPOSED.

AND THEN ANOTHER LAURA HEATH DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT IS OPPOSED.

OKAY. WITH THAT, WE HAVE A FEW COMMENT CARDS THAT FILLED OUT TO GO AHEAD AND SPEAK.

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, BASED ON KIND OF WHAT YOU'VE HEARD SO FAR, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME UP AND SPEAK.

OR I CAN JUST READ IT IN THE RECORD AS OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT.

IT'S UP TO YOU.

I'LL JUST START CALLING IT OUT.

AND AGAIN, YOU KIND OF HEARD WHERE WE SIT SO FAR.

SO TO THE EXTENT YOU, YOU KNOW, STILL WANT TO COME FORWARD AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, PLEASE FEEL FREE.

JUST REMEMBER TO ADDRESS THEM TO US, NO ONE ELSE.

AND THE THREE MINUTE LIGHT WILL TURN ON AS SOON AS YOU COME UP TO THE TO THE PODIUM.

ALEXANDRA BRYCE IS THE FIRST ONE, I GUESS.

DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, MA'AM? I GUESS IT WAS HARD TO TELL FROM YOUR CARD.

SORRY. OKAY.

IN OPPOSITION? CORRECT.

OKAY. OKAY. DULY NOTED.

NEXT CARD I HAVE HERE IS RUDY.

JAMAICA SOUTH.

NOLAN DRIVE 500 SOUTH.

NOLAN WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM.

OKAY. IT.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.

MY NAME IS RUDY JANECKA, 500 SOUTH.

NOLAN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

76092. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FOR GATEWAY CHURCH, AND WE JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS OUR UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT.

THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ENCOMPASSES OUR ENTIRE 13.445 ACRE SITE, AND WE HAVE NO OBJECTIONS.

IF I MAY, PRIOR TO BEING AN EMPLOYEE AT GATEWAY CHURCH, I WAS A LOCAL REAL ESTATE BROKER WORKING AT CHAMPIONS DFW COMMERCIAL REALTY, 1725 EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, DOING TRANSACTIONS IN THAT ENTIRE TIME FOR DEVELOPERS AND FOR SELLERS AND BUYERS.

YOU KNOW, THIS DEVELOPMENT, AGAIN, SPEAKS VOLUMES TO THE TAX BASE FOR THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE.

WITH ALL OF THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT TROPHY CLUB ROANOKE GRAPEVINE, SOUTHLAKE, I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS COUNCIL, BUT A LOT OF THE NUMBERS AND SALES TAX REVENUE AT SOUTH LAKE TOWN CENTER HAVE GONE DOWN.

IT CAN BE REPRESENTED BY THE NUMBER OF LARGE TENANTS THAT HAVE VACATED AND SOME OF THE LESSER NATIONAL RETAIL TENANTS IN THE MARKET THAT HAVE COME INTO THE SOUTH LAKE TOWN CENTER. PRIOR TO TWO WORKING AS A REAL ESTATE BROKER LOCALLY, I WORKED FOR TWO NATIONAL RETAIL ORGANIZATIONS DOING SITE SELECTION AND REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT IN 40 STATES.

IN MY OPINION, THE TRUCK TRAFFIC THAT YOU GUYS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU ALREADY HAVE IT TODAY WITH THE SUPPLY CHAIN TRUCKS THAT ARE COMING IN TO SUPPORT TORCHY'S AND THE OTHER RETAILERS, ETHAN ALLEN AND SO FORTH.

I KNOW ETHAN ALLEN DELIVERS WITH BOX TRUCKS, BUT I'M NOT CERTAIN IF THEY DELIVER WITH 18 WHEELERS OR NOT FOR THEIR PRODUCT COMING IN AND THEY USE THE SAME DRIVEWAY.

SO I'M JUST SPEAKING IN FAVOR, YOU KNOW, AS A REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL AND AS REPRESENTING GATEWAY CHURCH, AND WE'D LIKE TO RESERVE TIME FOR ANY REBUTTALS OR ANY QUESTIONS. NO, THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

SHANNON BELLA 506 VICKSBURG WAY.

WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.

AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, JUST IN CASE I DIDN'T READ IT CORRECTLY EACH TIME.

HELLO, MY NAME IS SHANNON BELLA.

I LIVE AT 506 VICKSBURG WAY.

I'D FIRST LIKE TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR TIME AND ATTENTION.

I KNOW THIS IS ENDLESS WORK FOR YOU AND I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS TO.

SERVE OUR CITY. SO, WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M A PARENT OF A DAWSON STUDENT, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE RIGHT THERE IS VERY.

[00:40:06]

WE HAVE TO USE THAT.

THAT'S PART OF OUR PICKUP LINE AND DROP OFF LINE.

AND THAT'S VERY NARROW EVEN FOR TWO CARS.

THERE IS LAWN DECOR.

CANNOT PROMISE US THAT, AS YOU SAID BEFORE, THAT THE TRUCKS WILL NOT USE THAT AREA.

AND THAT'S VERY CONCERNING.

THAT TRAFFIC PATTERN IS THE MAIN REASON THAT I OPPOSE IT.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT CARD IS MEGAN KINSLOW, I THINK TWO 2054 MIRACLE POINTE DRIVE, WHICH IS TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.

GOOD EVENING. AS YOU STATED, MY NAME IS MEGAN KINSLOW AT 2054 MIRACLE POINTE DRIVE.

AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE.

I KNOW THIS IS THANKLESS IN MANY WAYS, SO THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.

TO EACH OF YOU, I'M HERE WITH MY DAUGHTER, BROOKE KINSLOW.

I'LL LET HER SPEAK BECAUSE SHE HEARD ME TALKING ABOUT THIS AND REALLY WANTED TO COME AND SPEAK.

I WANT TO PULL THE MICROPHONE.

THERE YOU GO. I BELIEVE THAT WE THAT WE SHOULD NOT BUILD THIS SO KIDS CAN GET TO SCHOOL SAFELY BECAUSE THEY NEED TO.

THANK YOU. SO IN ADDITION TO MY DAUGHTER'S CONCERNS, LIKE MANY PARENTS HERE, WHICH, BY THE WAY, MANY OF US COULDN'T MAKE IT TONIGHT, AND I KNOW THEY DID EMAIL YOU.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE MANY RESPONSES THAT YOU DID DO.

I DO WANT TO JUST HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN MENTIONED.

I KNOW. AND DECOR DID HOLD THAT COMMUNITY FEEDBACK NIGHT.

IT WAS ACTUALLY ON THE SAME CURRICULUM NIGHT AS EUBANKS AND THE SAME NIGHT AS THE DAWSON FOOTBALL GAME, MEANING THEY DID NOT GET THE ACTUAL COMMUNITY FEEDBACK THEY MIGHT HAVE SOUGHT OUT BECAUSE SO MANY PARENTS WERE AT THOSE TWO EVENTS THAT WERE PLANNED MONTHS IN ADVANCE.

YOU KNOW, I HAD SENT BOTH OF YOU OR SORRY, ALL OF YOU AN EMAIL WITH SOME OF THE SATELLITE IMAGERY OF HOW THEY ALREADY TREAT SCHOOL NEIGHBORS AND OTHER PROPERTIES THAT THEY OWN THAT HAD CONCERNS WHERE IN TERMS OF LIKE WHETHER IT WAS LIQUID RUNOFF AND CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS OUTSIDE OF THE RETAIL LOCATIONS THAT I HAD CONCERNS WITH.

AND THEN I ALSO HAD SENT JUST SOME GENERAL DISREGARD FOR INSPECTIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT THE MEMBERS OF THEIR EXECUTIVE TEAM HAD POSTED THAT I PERSONALLY FOUND CONCERNING.

BUT AGAIN, IN TERMS OF A BUSINESS STANDPOINT, SOUTHLAKE WELCOMES BUSINESS.

AND I THINK WHEN I WAS HEARING FROM SO MANY PEOPLE WHEN I WAS DISCUSSING THIS WITH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, WAS HOW MANY OTHER LOCATIONS AROUND HERE WOULD BE A GREAT SITE FOR THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS. SO AGAIN, I HOPE, LIKE YOU ALL DO, THAT FLORA AND CORA WOULD JUST CONSIDER ANOTHER SITE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND LISTEN TO THOSE OF US THAT DO HAVE CONCERNS, PARTICULARLY FOR OUR CHILDREN, GETTING TO SCHOOL SAFELY.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING SOMEBODY YOUNG OUT TO PARTICIPATE IN CITY GOVERNMENT.

OKAY. NOW, NEXT NAME TO CALL IS CARL SLADE 220 EASTWOOD DRIVE WHICH IS TO.

SHARE HIS VIEWS. I BELIEVE IN OPPOSITION.

GO AND GO AHEAD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

JUST TO MAKE SURE I GOT IT RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I'M CARL SLEDS.

I LIVE AT 220 EASTWOOD DRIVE.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE COMMENT ABOUT THE PROPOSED ENTRY.

I ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND VIEWED IT.

MEASURED IT.

IT TAKES AN 18 WHEELER, APPROXIMATELY 24FT TO MAKE A TURN.

THERE'S THERE'S A 15 FOOT LANE THERE.

SO HE EITHER HAS TO ENCROACH ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE INTO THE NEXT LANE IN ORDER TO MAKE HIS TURN INTO THAT PROPERTY.

OR HE'S GOT TO GO ACROSS THE OTHER TWO LANES.

THERE'S TWO EXIT LANES, ONE ENTRY LANE.

SO THERE HAS TO DO THAT OR GO ACROSS THE OTHER LANES.

AND THERE ARE PEOPLE COMING OUT FROM TORCHY'S, FROM BJ'S.

THOSE PLACES ARE STILL OPEN AT 10:00.

SO THIS IS A POTENTIAL POTENTIAL TRAFFIC HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

NOW I'VE GOT DENNIS MINDER TO 23 EASTWOOD DRIVE.

FOLLOWED BY PATTI MINDER OF THE SAME ADDRESS.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME HERE AT PNC AND JUST HAVE A FEW COMMENTS TO MAKE.

DON'T WANT TO BE REDUNDANT OVER THE TOP OF EVERYTHING, BUT TRAFFIC IS KIND OF MY SPECIALTY, AND THIS PLACE HERE DOES NOT SOLVE ONE THING FOR INGRESS AND EGRESS.

LIKE CARL SAID BEFORE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE LANE IN ONE DIRECTION, TWO LANES IN THE OTHER.

THERE'S NO EXIT TO THE WEST.

IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT AND JOIN KIMBALL UP THERE, YOU'VE GOT SCHOOL BUSSES, YOU'VE GOT APPROXIMATELY 40 FOOT LIFT BETWEEN THERE.

YOU'VE GOT NOTHING BUT BLIND SPOTS COMING UP THE HILL.

AND IT'S JUST A DISASTER.

EVEN DURING THE DURING THE DAY WITH CARS GOING IN AND OUT, MOST EVERYBODY'S GOT A PICKUP, WHICH IS ABOUT 18 TO 22FT LONG, DEPENDING IF YOU'VE GOT THE STANDARD SIZE OR THE

[00:45:09]

WELL, YOU CAN'T BARELY MAKE IT ACROSS 1709 IN A CAR, NO LESS, ATTRACTED.

I MEAN, A TRAILER LOAD OF TRUCKS AND TRAILERS COMING OUT THERE AND 20 OF THEM IN A ROW.

NOW, I'VE GONE TO SEE THEIR SITES IN FORT MYERS.

I'VE LOOKED AT THE ONE IN NORTH RICHLAND HILLS.

I'VE LOOKED AT THE ONE IN SAN DIEGO AND SEVERAL OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.

AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TRASH BLOWING AROUND, DON'T GO THERE BECAUSE THE BACKYARD AND THE DELIVERY AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOTHING BUT CRATES AND PAPER.

AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE OPEN HOURS OF THE DAY, IT'S A DISASTER BACK THERE.

THERE'S TRUCKS ZIPPING IN AND OUT AND IT'S NOT SO BAD IF YOU HAVE GROUND LOADING.

THE ONLY TROUBLE WITH GROUND LOADING, THEY HAVE FORKLIFTS THAT BUZZ IN AND OUT AND JUST BACK UP AND NILLY WILLY AND GOOD CHANCE TO RUN OVER SOMEBODY COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE OR WHATEVER. SO IT'S A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, YOU KNOW, BACK THERE WITH WITH WITH THE TRAFFIC.

ALSO, I DON'T THINK SOUTHLAKE REALLY LIKES A BOX.

THERE'S NO ARTICULATION IN THIS BUILDING AT ALL.

IT'S PLAIN UGLY.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IT IN A BUILDING, IN AN AREA WHERE YOU HAVE NICE BUSINESSES AND ARTICULATION AND EVERYTHING AND HOMES RIGHT BEHIND IT, AND YOU PUT A BIG BOX IN THERE, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE A BIG DRAW FOR ANYBODY TO WANT TO MOVE THERE.

SO THAT'S AND THEN DELIVERIES AFTER 10 P.M.

I MEAN, WE HAVE SHOPS OF SOUTHLAKE AS RESTRICTION, NO DELIVERIES AFTER I THINK IT'S 9 OR 10 OR WHATEVER IT IS, JUST TO KEEP THE NOISE DOWN FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND HAS ANYBODY DONE A NOISE STUDY? YOU KNOW, THIS THING IS IN A VALLEY.

WE'RE IN THE VALLEY SOUTH OF THAT PROJECT.

AND I MEAN, AT NIGHT TIME, WHEN THERE'S NO SURROUNDING OR AMBIENT NOISE, YOU CAN HEAR 114 LIKE IT'S IN YOUR DRIVEWAY.

SO ANOTHER CONCERN IS THE NOISE GENERATED BY THAT BUSINESS DOWN THERE WITH FORKLIFTS.

ET CETERA. ET CETERA. AND TRACTOR TRAILERS AND ALL THAT.

OKAY. WELL, I THINK THAT'S ABOUT TAKES CARE OF IT.

YOU GUYS COVER THE OTHER STUFF.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND NOW PATTY MINDER, YOU WILL BE NEXT.

PATTY MENDER 2 TO 3 EASTWOOD DRIVE.

SOUTHLAKE. 40 YEAR RESIDENT.

AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME PICTURES IN FRONT OF YOU THAT I TOOK THE TIME TO TAKE WHEN WE WERE DOWN IN FLORIDA AT FORT MYERS.

IF YOU SAW THE BACKS OF THE BUILDING, THAT IS UNDESIRABLE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THEN SO WE WERE THERE AND THERE ARE THREE TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS AND TOOK PICTURES AGAIN.

AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE CLIENTELE THAT WENT IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING.

THEN LAST WEEK WE WENT TO NORTH RICHLAND HILLS AND YOU HAVE ANOTHER GROUP OF PICTURES FROM NORTH RICHLAND HILLS OF ALL THE TRASH AND STUFF.

AND, YOU KNOW, I WROTE BEHIND HOME DEPOT, I WROTE BEHIND LOWE'S, AND NONE OF THOSE BIG BOXES HAVE ANY OF THE TRASH THAT FLOORS AND DECOR HAVE. AND THEY MAY BE THE OWNERS, MAYBE NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THE MANAGERS HAVE ALL THE MESS BEHIND THEIR BUILDING.

BUT I GAVE YOU ALL A BUNCH OF PICTURES.

I HAVE ABOUT 100 TOTAL.

MY CONCERN IS WHEN WE HAD OUR SPIN MEETING, THE YOUNG LADY WHO DID THE PRESENTATION, SHE TOLD US THAT THE THE DELIVERIES WOULD START AT 6 A.M.

IN THE MORNING. WE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT 10 P.M.

AT NIGHT. AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE A NOISE ORDINANCE IN SOUTHLAKE ABOUT NOISE AFTER 10 P.M.

AND AS MY HUSBAND SPOKE BEFORE, HE TOOK SOME OF MY THUNDER.

BY THE WAY, WE HAVE WE ARE IN A VALLEY AND WE HAVE ACREAGE AND WE BACK IT TO TO THE BOTH SCHOOLS, THE MIDDLE AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL.

AND MY CONCERN IS FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAFETY.

AND I'M GOING TO HAVE A GRANDCHILDREN GOING TO THOSE SCHOOLS IN A FEW YEARS.

AND I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE.

WHEN WE WORKED ON THE MASTER PLAN HERE YEARS AGO, WE WANTED A TRANSITION BETWEEN THE RETAIL AND THE SCHOOLS AND WE THOUGHT THAT OFFICE WOULD BE THE BEST TRANSITION TO THE SCHOOL. AND WE HAVE A LOT OF CHILDREN IN THE AFTERNOONS THAT LEAVE AND WALK OVER TO CHICK FIL A TO CROSS OVER.

AND IT CONCERNS ME WITH THE SCHOOL BUSSES COMING OUT, PARENTS DROPPING THEIR KIDS OFF.

AND I WAS JUST GOING TO TELL YOU, I WAS SORT OF LOOKING AROUND TODAY AND I FOUND A GREAT SPOT FOR THEM OVER NEXT TO THE SHELL STATION ON 114.

THAT WOULD BE THE PERFECT SPOT FOR YOUR LOCATION.

AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU IN SOUTHLAKE, BUT JUST NOT BEHIND MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE OF ALL THE NOISE.

BUT I MEAN, WE WE HEAR YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS, BUT WE HEAR ALL THE NOISE FROM 114 BECAUSE OUR BACKS HOUSES SIT UP IN THE THE VALLEY AND WE CAN EVEN HEAR THE SCORE ON

[00:50:04]

SO I APPRECIATE THEM COMING TO LOOK AND AND I HOPE YOU'VE LOOKED OVER MY PICTURES.

I TOOK ALL THE TIME TO TAKE AND GET THE PNC AND TO SHOW YOU THAT WHAT CAN POTENTIALLY HAPPEN TO THE BUILDINGS BEHIND THIS STORE AND IF THIS MANAGER WHO WOULD BE MANAGING THE STORE IS LIKE THE OTHER FOUR MANAGERS OF THE FOUR STORES, WE TOOK PICTURES OF, I DON'T THINK THEY'RE A VERY GOOD FIT FOR SOUTHLAKE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM.

AND NOW THE LAST CARD IS CAM BRYANT 970 OWNEDBY LANE.

MR. CHAIRMAN.

BOARD MEMBERS, GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS CAM BRYAN.

I'M A 20 YEAR RESIDENT OF SOUTHLAKE 970 OMB LANE AND ALSO CURRENTLY SERVE AS ONE OF YOUR CARROLL ISD SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES.

IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, I AM HERE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE SCHOOL BOARD AND DR.

LEDBETTER AND HIS ADMINISTRATION TO VOICE OUR OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE AND SITE PLAN FOR FLOOR AND DECOR AS PRESENTED UNDER WSA 23-0042.

IN SHORT, THE REASON FOR OUR OPPOSITION IS IF APPROVED, WE BELIEVE THE INCREASE IN VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN PRESENCE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO DAWSON, MIDDLE AND EUBANKS INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS WILL POSE ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCERNS.

I'VE HAD TWO CHILDREN GRADUATE FROM BOTH CAMPUSES AND CAN TELL YOU FIRSTHAND THE CURRENT INGRESS AND EGRESS TO THESE CAMPUSES IS ALREADY CHAOTIC, TO SAY THE LEAST. IN ADDITION TO THE NORMAL DAILY PICKUP AND DROP OFF, WE HAVE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES THAT START AS EARLY AS 6 A.M.

AND END AS LATE AS 9 P.M.

ON BOTH CAMPUSES.

WE ALSO RENT FACILITIES ON THESE CAMPUSES FOR NON-SCHOOL RELATED PURPOSES THROUGHOUT THE CALENDAR YEAR.

LASTLY, IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED, CARROLL ISD WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO ENSURE THAT THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR CHILDREN ARE MET.

ITEMS SUCH AS NEW FENCING, INSTALLATION AND MONITORING OF SECURITY CAMERAS, INCREASED ADMIN AND SRO PRESENCE, JUST TO NAME A FEW.

I DON'T KNOW. MEMBERS IF YOU'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO OUR BOARD MEETINGS IN REGARDS TO THE BUDGET, WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO SPEND.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND ATTENDING ANOTHER LOCAL MEETING.

I KNOW YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN TO RUN, SO WE APPRECIATE IT.

NOW, I'LL GO AHEAD. THAT'S ALL THE FORMAL COMMENT CARDS I HAVE.

ANYONE ELSE IS CERTAINLY WELCOME TO COME UP AND SPEAK IF THEY WOULD LIKE.

YOU'VE HEARD A LOT OF THE SENTIMENT, SO I GUESS IN A LOT OF THE COMMENTS.

SO WE CAN ALSO JUST READ YOUR THOUGHTS INTO THE RECORD IF YOU'D RATHER DO THAT.

SO THIS IS RAY GRUPP 222 WESTWOOD DRIVE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.

YEAH, MARY GREW UP TO TWO WESTWOOD DRIVE.

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO IT, NOT ONLY THE TRAFFIC FROM THE 18 WHEELERS, BUT THE TRAFFIC OF THE CONTRACTORS COMING IN AND OUT OF THAT DRIVEWAY, WHICH THEY'RE GOING TO BE PULLING TRAILERS AND ALL.

THE OTHER THING, TOO, IS THEY MENTIONED ECONOMICAL AND THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, IF 60% IS WHOLESALE, THAT MEANS THERE'S NO SALES TAX. THEY ALL HAVE TAX FREE NUMBERS.

THAT'S ANOTHER THING. SO IT'S NOT.

PRODUCING AS MUCH SALES TAX REVENUE AS YOU THINK.

SO I'M IN OPPOSITION.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY. LIKE I SAID, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS STILL OPEN.

ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD CAN STILL COMMENT.

I THINK YOU'VE KIND OF HEARD THE GENERAL CONSENSUS.

I KNOW WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF FEEDBACK UP HERE.

SO I GUESS WHEN ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO PUBLIC COMMENT, I GUESS IF YOU IF YOU DON'T MIND, YOU'RE THE APPLICANT.

THIS IS MORE THIS IS THE OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE RESIDENT AND REALLY HONESTLY FOR THE APPLICANT.

YOU'VE KIND OF HAD YOUR HEARING.

I MEAN, UNLESS WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, THERE'S NOT PROBABLY REALLY ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BECAUSE YOU'VE KIND OF HAD YOUR CHANCE TO PRESENT AND WE CAN SEE IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF WE DO OR NOT.

SO WHY DON'T WHY DON'T I GO AHEAD AND CALL BACK HERE AND THEN THEN I'LL COME YOUR WAY.

IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK, WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND COME UP? AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD SINCE I DON'T HAVE A COMMENT CARD.

THANK YOU. MEGAN CHAPMAN WE ARE AT 211 EASTWOOD DRIVE.

SO THE BACK CORNER OF THIS FLOOR AND DECOR PROPERTY BACKS UP TO MY PROPERTY.

I HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS, EVEN MORE SO THAN JUST TRAFFIC.

I THE FENCE LINE THAT THIS GENTLEMAN TALKED ABOUT GATEWAY SHARING WITH.

I ALSO SHARE THAT FENCE LINE WITH THE BACK OF THE PARKING LOT.

UM, WE'RE ON ABOUT THREE ACRES, SO WE DO HAVE HORSES BACK THERE AS WELL.

WE HAVE ANIMALS.

LOUD NOISES ARE GOING TO BE AN ISSUE.

I ALSO HAVE THREE KIDS THAT GO TO CARROLL.

[00:55:03]

AND MY THIRD WILL BE EVENTUALLY.

THERE'S A CROSSWALK BEHIND THIS PGA STORE THAT HUNDREDS OF THE KIDS USE ON A DAILY BASIS TO WALK TO MEET THEIR PARENTS. THERE'S ONE POLICE OFFICER WHO DIRECTS TRAFFIC, WHICH IS VERY CHAOTIC RIGHT NOW.

THE OVERFLOW FROM ALL OF THE DRAINAGE IS GOING TO COME DIRECTLY INTO MY BACKYARD, WHICH IS ALREADY AN ISSUE.

WHEN WE GET HEAVY RAINS.

WE BACK UP TO THE FOOTBALL FIELD RIGHT HERE, WHICH, AS OUR SCHOOL BOARD MENTIONED, IS USED BETWEEN ANYWHERE FROM 6 A.M.

TILL TEN, 9 OR 10 P.M.

I MYSELF AM OVER THERE ALL THE TIME BECAUSE MY KIDS PLAY SPORTS.

SO I'M THERE AT 6 A.M.

DROPPING OFF AND I'M OVER THERE PICKING UP MY SON AT 8 P.M.

OR 9 P.M. AFTER FOOTBALL.

WE USE IT ON THE WEEKENDS.

WE USE IT DURING THE SUMMER.

THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY GOOD TIME FOR THERE TO BE SEMI TRACTORS, TRAILERS TO BE COMING IN AND OUT OF THAT AREA WHATSOEVER.

IT'S MY CONCERN IS MY KIDS, ALL OF OUR KIDS FUTURE DRAGONS AGAIN, THERE'S VERY.

THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER SPOTS IN SOUTHLAKE THAT WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER SITE FOR THIS STORE.

I MYSELF HAVE SHOPPED AT FLOOR AND DECOR.

I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THEM.

I JUST AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF NOT ONLY MY KIDS BUT ALL OF THE KIDS.

AND AGAIN, I SHARE THAT FENCE LINE.

IT'S I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

IT GOES FROM THAT CORNER PARKING LOT ALL THE WAY TO OUR VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE MEETS, AND THERE'S NO EXTRA FENCING.

IT'S JUST ONE WOODEN FENCE.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO OPPOSE ANY CONSTRUCTION FOR FLOOR AND DECOR BACK HERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY, SIR, YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND COME UP.

NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AS WELL, PLEASE.

HOW RUDY JANECKA 500 SOUTH NOLAN, REPRESENTING GATEWAY CHURCH AND CHAMPIONS DFW COMMERCIAL REALTY AT 1725.

DID YOU ALREADY SPEAK? I SPOKE EARLIER. I HAD ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF LEFT.

IS THAT POSSIBLE TO SPEAK? I'M SORRY.

ONCE YOU SPEAK. THANK YOU, SIR.

WE'LL GET SO OUT OF CONTROL IF WE START TO DO THAT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE IT.

OKAY. ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS NOT SPOKEN YET WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SAY SOMETHING, MAYBE EVEN PREFERABLY THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID YET? OR ARE WE ALL IS EVERYONE GOOD? CAN I GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? ONE MORE. OKAY.

NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

NAME'S DANIEL KYLE.

I'M ON 1590 RANDALL MILL.

AND MY BIGGEST CONCERN HERE, AND THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM WE HAVE OVER IN HOME DEPOT, AND, WELL, NOT SO MUCH HOME, BUT LOWE'S IN THAT BACK PARKING LOTS AND STUFF IS THAT I NEVER SEE ANY CONSIDERATION OF YOU GUYS LOOKING TO HAVE SOMEBODY TAKE CARE OF THE ROAD REPAIRS.

YOU BRING HIGH TRUCKS IN THERE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF ROAD DAMAGE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

GUY MENTIONED HOW LONG IT TAKES TO TURN AN 18 WHEELER AND 18 WHEELER ON A MAKES A SHARP TURN.

THEY'RE GOING TO TEAR THE ROAD UP.

SO, I DON'T KNOW.

YOU HAVE TO BE SOME KIND OF PROVISION BY THEM TO, I WOULD THINK, TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR ROAD.

THANKS. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANY OTHER LAST QUICK COMMENTS BEFORE WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING? OKAY. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR YOUR COOPERATION DURING THAT.

I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

MY THOUGHTS ON ITEMS NINE AND TEN HAVEN'T CHANGED FROM WHAT I STATED EARLIER FOR THE REASONS THAT I STATED EARLIER, SO I WOULD BE OPPOSED TO THEM.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ANYBODY ELSE HAS FOR EITHER CITY STAFF OR FOR THE APPLICANT OR IF ANY OTHER COMMENTS IN GENERAL OR IF WE WANT TO MOVE TO A VOTE.

WELL, I DIDN'T MAKE A COMMENT EARLIER, BUT IF I CAN GO AHEAD AND MAKE A COMMENT.

YOU KNOW, IRONICALLY, I THINK THAT THE VILLAGE DRIVE WOULD BE BETTER CIRCUITY FOR THE 18 WHEELERS AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

AND THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ALREADY SOME ACCOMMODATION TO TRY TO ADDRESS OTHER CONCERNS TO HAVE IT THROUGH THERE, BUT THAT'S A PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO ONCE POTHOLES START AND EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY FORCE THE OWNER OF THAT SHOPPING CENTER TO.

YOU KNOW, MAKE THOSE REPAIRS AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

I DON'T OPPOSE SOMETHING GOING THERE.

I THINK SOME OF THE CONCERNS ARE JUST ANYTHING GOING THERE WILL CREATE AN ISSUE.

I DON'T THINK IF IT WASN'T A ZONING AND LAND USE CHANGE THAT I WOULD BE SO HESITANT.

BUT HAVING A DAUGHTER THAT WENT THROUGH DAWSON AND EUBANKS, I MEAN, THAT'S IT'S ALREADY IN A NOT REALLY GREAT CONDITION AND IT JUST EXACERBATES IT.

AND I THINK THAT'S PART OF JUST KIND OF YOU HAVE IT AS YOU FOUND IT AND IT'S ALREADY NOT IN A GREAT TRAFFIC CONTROL CONDITION AS IT IS.

[01:00:04]

AND I JUST REITERATE WHAT I SAID, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH YOU.

I MEAN, I CONSIDER A LAND USE CHANGE IF IT MAYBE WASN'T AS INTENSE AND HAD SOME INTERACTION WITH THE NEIGHBORS NEARBY AND HAD SOME MAYBE NOT PERFECT ELEMENT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT, BUT SOME MORE PUBLIC SUPPORT THAN WHAT WE HEARD TONIGHT.

SO I WOULD ECHO THAT UNLESS THERE'S ANY OTHER COMMENTS, I THINK, AND STAFF, I GUESS, CAN WE TAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON BOTH OF THESE AT THE SAME TIME, NINE AND TEN OR INDIVIDUALLY ADDRESS THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

OKAY. WE'LL DO INDIVIDUALLY, MR. CHAIRMAN. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DENY.

ITEM NUMBER NINE ON OUR AGENDA.

CP 20 3-0001.

OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

LET'S REMEMBER WHEN THERE'S A MOTION TO DENY A MOTION, A VOTE YES IS TO DENY.

SO JUST A LITTLE COUNTERINTUITIVE SOMETIMES.

JUST REMEMBER THAT. SO GO AHEAD AND VOTE.

OKAY. PASSES. SIX ZERO.

MOTION ON NUMBER TEN.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DENY ITEM NUMBER TEN ON OUR AGENDA.

WSA 23-0042.

OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. OKAY, LET'S GO AND VOTE, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT. PASSES SIX ZERO.

APPRECIATE YOU GUYS COMING OUT AND PRESENTING TONIGHT.

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT AND GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH US.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO GRIND ON TO THE REST OF OUR AGENDA HERE IN CITY GOVERNMENT.

[11. Consider: ZA23-0048, Zoning Change and Concept Plan for 1584 Randol Mill Ave., for property described as Tract 1 B, William Winn Survey Abstract No. 1660, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1584 Randol Mill Ave, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District. Proposed Zoning: "SF-30" Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood# 5 PUBLIC HEARING]

ON OUR AGENDA TODAY IS ZONING CHANGE AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR 1584 RANDALL MILL AVENUE.

NO, I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT.

IS IT THAT IT'S 170 DEGREES OUTSIDE? ALL RIGHT. SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD.

OKAY. YEAH. GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSION.

SO THIS IS A ZONING CHANGE AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR 1584 RANDALL MILL AVENUE.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON. JUST. DO YOU GUYS MIND, PLEASE? MAYBE TAKING THE CONVERSATION OUT TO THE GALLERY? THANK YOU. OKAY, GO AHEAD.

YOU'RE FINE. THE REQUEST TONIGHT IS TO CHANGE FROM AG TO SF 32.

PERMIT TO PERMIT A GREATER LOT COVERAGE.

THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DOES CALL FOR LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, BUT AS I STATED, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING SF 30 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ZONING.

IT IS GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LAND USE.

HOWEVER, THE TRACT IS ONLY 0.95 ACRES AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE REZONED SF ONE A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

THERE WILL BE NO INCREASE IN DENSITY, SO ONLY ONE RESIDENTIAL UNIT AND THE TRACK WILL REMAIN IN CHARACTER WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.

HOWEVER, OTHER TRACKS LOTS IN THE VICINITY ALSO HAVE SF 30 ZONING.

THE CURRENT ZONING ON THE PROPERTY AS STATED IS AG.

AERIAL VIEW.

THIS IS THE CURRENT SURVEY OF THE EXISTING HOME WITH POOL.

THE APPLICANT DOES PROPOSE ADDITIONS ONTO THE HOME TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE.

WITH THE ADDITIONS.

HE IS PROPOSING A LAND COVERAGE OF A LITTLE BIT OVER 15%.

AND HERE'S THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN.

UH, THE VIEW LOOKING NORTH.

THE VIEW LOOKING WEST.

AND WE DID NOTIFY PROPERTY OWNERS.

WE DID GET ONE RESPONSE FOR LOCATED JUST TO THE WEST OF THE CURRENT SUBJECT PROPERTY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ONE.

I THINK IT'S BASICALLY JUST AN EXPANSION OF A HOUSE HERE ON A ROUGHLY ACRE LOT.

OKAY. IS THE APPLICANT HERE THIS EVENING? ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT ON THIS ONE? I DON'T HAVE ANY.

OKAY. I THINK YOU'RE GOOD.

UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING YOU REALLY WANT TO SAY.

ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE TRACKING PRETTY WELL SO FAR, SO.

OKAY, GOOD. GOOD DECISION.

OKAY. ITEM.

I THINK WE'RE GOOD ON STAFF PRESENTATION.

ITEM NUMBER 11 ON OUR AGENDA DOES REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING.

[01:05:03]

SEEING NO ONE.

I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM NUMBER 11.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION? OKAY, MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION.

WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 11 ON OUR AGENDA.

WSA 23-0048, SUBJECT TO OUR STAFF REPORT DATED SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2023, AND ALSO SUBJECT TO OUR CONCEPT PLAN.

REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER TWO, DATED AUGUST 23RD, 2023.

WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO AND VOTE, PLEASE.

PASSES SIX ZERO.

AND DENNIS, I'M ABOUT TO ASK YOU MY USUAL QUESTION.

THIS WILL BE HEARD POTENTIALLY AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON.

SEPTEMBER. SEPTEMBER 19TH.

OKAY. WELL DONE.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU FOR COMING UP HERE TONIGHT.

SORRY WE COULDN'T GET TO YOU SOONER.

I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.

Current Zoning: "1-2" Heavy Industrial District. SPIN Neighborhood #8. PUBLIC HEARING]

WE DON'T HAVE A SIGN BOARD TONIGHT.

I KNOW THAT MAKES US SAD.

THAT'S PROBABLY WHY COMMISSIONER SPRINGER ISN'T HERE.

BUT. SO THIS IS OUR LAST ITEM AGAIN.

SITE PLAN FOR CONSTELLATION SOUTHLAKE.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS.

THIS REQUEST IS FOR AN APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED HERE ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU.

I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL OF THOSE LETTERS OUT FOR YOU.

THE LOCATION IS ALONG MUSTANG COURT.

HERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE EXISTING SITE.

FUTURE LAND USE CALLS FOR INDUSTRIAL USES.

THE CURRENT ZONING IS HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.

THESE ARE SOME VIEWS ALONG E WOODS HIGHWAY 26 SHOWING THE SITE CURRENTLY.

THIS IS THE SITE PLAN.

IT IS SPLIT IN HALF, I GUESS FOR EASE IN REVIEWING IT MAKES IT A LITTLE DIFFICULT HERE.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE FOUR STRUCTURES FOR WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS COMPRISING APPROXIMATELY 520,000FT². IT IS ADJACENT TO SOME RESIDENTIAL ZONE MANUFACTURED HOUSING TO THE WEST.

THE APPLICANT HAS MET SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.

THE THE SITE OTHERWISE CONFORMS TO DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AS FOUND FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL FOR THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

THESE ARE AGAIN SOME SITE DATA SUMMARY TABLES THROUGH A LOT OF THEM IN HERE.

YOU CAN READ THOSE AT YOUR OWN PACE OR I CAN PUT IT UP IN THE FUTURE IF YOU DESIRE TO SEE THEM.

I HAVE PROVIDED HERE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS FOR EACH BUILDING AS WELL AS THE LOCATION ON THE SITE.

THIS IS THE NORTHWEST BUILDING.

THE SOUTHWEST BUILDING, NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST.

ALL THE BUILDINGS MEET HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS OF 35FT IS FOUND IN THE I-2 DISTRICT.

THERE'S A NORTHWEST VIEW OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, OR OBVIOUSLY A RENDERING FOR THE PROPOSED BUILDINGS.

A NORTHEAST VIEW.

VIEW FROM THE ENTRANCE FROM MUSTANG COURT.

SOME ARCHITECTURAL DETAILING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

HERE'S THE LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR THE SITE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT DETENTION AREA ALONG IRA E WOODS, WHICH PROVIDES A CONSIDERABLE BUFFER.

OF COURSE, THERE'S A RIGHT OF WAY RUNNING THROUGH THERE FOR DART, AND THEN THERE IS SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPING ALONG THE WESTERN BUFFER.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND THROW THAT UP.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSES THERE ARE REQUIRED RATHER, TO HAVE AN EIGHT-FOOT WOOD FENCE FOR THE BUFFER.

HOWEVER, THEY ARE PROPOSING ADDITIONAL SCREENING VIA THESE ASH TREES.

I'LL ALSO POINT OUT THAT THE LOT, IF YOU WERE ABLE TO SEE IT IN YOUR GRADING PLAN, THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT DROP FROM THIS FENCE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BUILDINGS ITSELF.

IT EXCEEDS AT LEAST TEN FEET.

PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.

UH, THIS IS A TREE PRESERVATION PLAN.

SORRY. IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE ON THE SCREEN, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY VARIANCE REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT.

THEY ARE REQUESTING TO REMOVE ALL TREES.

THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PRESENT.

SORRY, PRESERVE 60%.

HOWEVER, AS SHOWN, THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING TO JUSTIFY THIS REMOVAL.

THEY ARE PROVIDING SOME SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPING, AS YOU CAN SEE ALONG THE SUMMARY CHART ON THE NORTH SIDE, THEY ARE PROVIDING MORE LANDSCAPE AREA, MORE CANOPY TREES THAN WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE REQUIRED IN THIS SCENARIO.

[01:10:06]

I'M HAPPY TO PRESENT THESE.

PUT THAT UP AT ANY POINT IN TIME IF YOU'D LIKE TO REVIEW IT.

SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS RESPONSES.

ALL PROPERTIES WITHIN 300FT WERE NOTIFIED OF THIS SITE PLAN CONSIDERATION AS A MEETING TIME.

NO RESPONSES RECEIVED.

WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

I KNOW THE APPLICANT'S HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

JUST TO CONFIRM A FEW THINGS REAL QUICK, JUST.

YES, SIR. PUTTING IT MORE OR LESS ON THE RECORD, THIS USE THE PROPOSED USE IS WOULD TAKE THE PLACE OF AN EXISTING JET FUEL TANK FARM.

YES, SIR. OKAY, PERFECT.

AND THERE ARE NO EVEN EMERGENCY EXITS OR ANYTHING INTO THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

YES, SIR. VERY GOOD POINT.

I WILL POINT OUT THAT THERE ARE NO IMMEDIATE ACCESS POINTS INTO RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

THERE IS A PRIMARY ACCESS POINT TO MUSTANG COURT AS SHOWN ON THE PLAN.

AND THEN THERE IS A SECONDARY EMERGENCY ACCESS POINT THAT.

GOES TO AN ACCESS EASEMENT TO THE EASTERN PROPERTY AND THEN WOULD DISCHARGE TO THE SOUTH TOWARDS STATE HIGHWAY 26 EMERGENCIES ONLY AGAIN.

AND OBVIOUSLY, SINCE IT'S JUST THE SITE PLAN CASE CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE PLAN, WHICH IS GOOD.

AND THE SETBACK YOU'RE SHOWING HERE, THE 100 FOOT PLUS SETBACK, 100, 120FT, I THINK WAS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.

AND THEN THIS ONE IS FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH THE CASE NEXT TO IT IN THAT THAT ONE THAT WAS, I THINK, APPROVED UNDER CONSTRUCTION BY CITY COUNCIL WAS A SITE PLAN REQUEST AS WELL WITH JUST THE SAME TREE VARIANCE REQUESTED ON THAT SITE PLAN AS WELL.

A LITTLE DIFFERENT NUMBERS WISE, BUT THE SAME CATEGORY, RIGHT? YES, SIR. THE PLAN THE VARIANCE WAS APPROVED.

THEY DID PRESERVE SOME TREES ON THAT LOT.

HOWEVER, THOSE TREES WERE WITHIN, I BELIEVE, A DRAINAGE EASEMENT OR SOME FORM OF.

SO THEY HAD NO CHOICE.

YEAH, THEY REALLY HAD NO CHOICE TO PRESERVE THEM.

OKAY, PERFECT. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR.

THE APPLICANT HERE THIS EVENING.

I'M ASSUMING THE APPLICANT IS BACK THERE.

WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS? I DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND TALK.

FOR THIS CASE.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UM, WHY DON'T YOU JUST COME UP HERE REALLY QUICKLY AND JUST NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND JUST MAYBE STATE ON THE RECORD KIND OF WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING TO MITIGATE RELATIVE TO THE RESIDENTIAL.

THAT'S JUST TO THE.

WEST, I GUESS.

I THINK THAT'D BE GOOD. THESE MEETINGS ARE RECORDED.

JUST SO YOU KNOW. THEY'RE ONLINE.

PEOPLE CAN GO BACK AND WATCH THEM IF THEY COULDN'T MAKE IT TONIGHT.

AND I THINK JUST. HAVING THAT CONTEXT AND YOU CAN KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET.

I'M NOT ASKING FOR A LOT HERE, BUT JUST PEOPLE WATCH THESE, SO.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO SPEAK TONIGHT.

MY NAME IS KAYLEE FLYNN. I WORK FOR HALF ASSOCIATES LOCATED AT 1201 NORTH BOWSER IN RICHARDSON, TEXAS.

75081. SO THE YOU WERE SPECIFICALLY ASKING ABOUT THE RESIDENTIAL, IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH, JUST THE WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN NOW.

YEAH. SO JUST JUST TALK ABOUT THE MITIGATING FACTORS.

I MEAN, WE TALKED THE STAFF TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TOPOGRAPHY AND BUT JUST MAYBE REALLY QUICKLY JUST PUT THAT ON THE RECORD.

YEAH. SO RIGHT ALONG HERE BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND OUR PROPOSED SITE, THERE'S GOING TO BE A WALL THAT GOES FROM ABOUT TWO FEET UP UNTIL ABOUT 17FT IN HEIGHT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL BEING ON THE HIGH SIDE OF THAT.

SO IF EVEN THROUGH THE SCREENING AND FENCE ON TOP OF THE WALL THAT WE ARE PROVIDING, PROVIDING THE RESIDENTS WOULD ONLY BE SEEING THE TOP, WHAT IS THAT MATH ON THE FLY 18FT FROM THE GROUND TO THE TOP OF THE 35 FOOT TALL BUILDINGS.

SO THEY WOULD NOT BE SEEING MUCH OF THE DEVELOPMENT AT ALL WITH WITH THAT HEIGHT DIFFERENTIAL.

AND THEN ALSO DOWN HERE ON THE ALONG IRA WOODS, THERE ALSO IS THE THE DART RIGHT OF WAY THAT SEPARATES THE ROAD FROM THEN OUR DETENTION POND AND SCREENING ALONG HERE AS WELL.

OKAY. ANY OTHER? QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT HERE.

OKAY. NO, I APPRECIATE THAT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I KNOW I REMEMBER FROM CORRIDOR MEETING YOU GUYS PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO THIS IN TERMS OF TRYING TO TO BE RESPONSIBLE ON THAT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS NOTED.

SO, OKAY, IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.

ITEM NUMBER 12 ON OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING DOES CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THAT PUBLIC HEARING.

[01:15:02]

SEEING NO ONE. I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I JUST WANTED TO TELL THE APPLICANT, I APPRECIATE YOU GOING THROUGH OUR CORRIDOR PROCESS WHERE YOU YOU DEFINITELY TOOK THE FEEDBACK THAT WE TALKED ABOUT INTO CONSIDERATION.

AND I THINK LISTENING TO CITY STAFF RELATIVE TO SOME PRIOR PRECEDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND TRYING TO STAY CONSISTENT WITH THAT, THAT MAKES, AS YOU SAW EARLIER THIS EVENING, MAKES OUR PROCESS A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO NAVIGATE.

SO WE APPRECIATE THAT.

ANY OTHER THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE I JUST SAY I MEAN, IT'S A MUCH BETTER ALTERNATIVE USE THAN THE FUEL TANKS THAT ARE THERE.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, I WISH THESE BUILDINGS WERE A LITTLE BIT SKINNIER.

I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN THE CORRIDOR MEETING A LITTLE BIT, BUT ALSO UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY NEED THE COVERAGE TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THIS LAND.

OTHERWISE, WE CONTINUE ON WITH STORAGE FUEL TANKS.

SO I THINK IT'S AN UPGRADE FROM WHERE WE ARE.

AND YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT INDUSTRIAL BUILDING.

YEAH, A LITTLE BIT.

OKAY. WE'LL TRUST YOU.

ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? COMMENTS? OKAY.

I THINK WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION.

WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 12 ON OUR AGENDA WSA 23-0049, SUBJECT TO OUR REVISED STAFF REPORT DATED SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2023, ALSO SUBJECT TO OUR REVISED SITE PLAN REVIEW.

SUMMARY NUMBER ONE, DATED SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2023, AND NOTING APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE REQUESTED.

OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. OKAY.

VOTE, PLEASE. PASSES 6-0.

AND CONGRATULATIONS.

GOOD LUCK. YOU'LL BE AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 19TH, AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
