[3. Sister Cities Tome Exchange Update]

AND FIRST UP IS WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE, WHICH IS THE SISTER CITIES TOME EXCHANGE UPDATE.

I'D LIKE TO INVITE DEPUTY CITY SECRETARY VERONICA LOMAS AND TWO SPECIAL GUESTS FROM SISTER CITIES INTERNATIONAL TO COME ON DOWN AND TALK TO US.

GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING HERE.

GOOD EVENING. HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS.

IT'S AN HONOR FOR ME TO INTRODUCE THE SISTER CITIES IN THE TOME DELEGATION.

THEY'RE JUST GOING TO REPORT ABOUT THE WONDERFUL TRIP THAT WE JUST HAD BACK IN JUNE.

AND FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

YOU KNOW, AS AN EMPLOYEE, YOU KNOW, JUST TO REPRESENT, YOU KNOW, BE CHAPERONING, YOU KNOW, THESE WONDERFUL YOUTH AMBASSADORS.

WE HAD A VERY UNIQUE, YOU KNOW, CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.

YOU KNOW, THAT I CAN SAY TOO MUCH DETAILS.

BUT WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'M JUST GOING TO, YOU KNOW, INTRODUCE YOUTH AMBASSADOR ALLISON BEDWELL AND YOUTH AMBASSADOR KATE PONZO, AND THEY'RE GOING TO TELL THE STORY ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL TRIP.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, ALLISON, TAKE IT AWAY.

OKAY. OH, I THINK THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LAST SLIDE.

THAT'S ALL OF US GOING THERE.

OKAY, SO THE FIRST THING KIND OF THAT WE'RE TOUCHING ON IS THE FOOD.

AND WE HAD SO MUCH GOOD FOOD OVER THERE, THEY FED US VERY WELL.

WE ALWAYS HAD FOOD OFFERED TO US.

SO SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE THE MISO ICE CREAM YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT.

VERY UNIQUE, VERY DELICIOUS.

AND THEN ALSO ON THE TOP RIGHT IS WE HAD A VERY LARGE SUSHI ROLL PROVIDED TO US BY A SUSHI CHEF THAT WE GOT TO MAKE AT OUR WELCOME PARTY. THAT WHOLE THING IS A SUSHI ROLL? THAT'S A VERY LONG SUSHI ROLL.

AND WE GOT TO MAKE IT.

AND IT WAS NOT ONLY DELICIOUS, BUT ALSO REALLY FUN EXPERIENCE.

AND THEN ANOTHER BIG THING IS WE DID NOT USE FORKS OR WE DID USE SPOONS.

WE DID NOT USE FORKS, SO WE USE CHOPSTICKS FROM THE MOMENT WE GOT ON THE PLANE TO THE MOMENT WE TOUCHED DOWN BACK DOWN HERE, WHICH IS REALLY COOL.

VERY COOL. ALL RIGHT.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY WANTED TO TOUCH ON IS THE PEOPLE LIKE EVERYONE WAS ABSOLUTELY LOVELY, LIKE VERY GENEROUS AND VERY ATTENTIVE TO BASICALLY EVERYTHING THAT WE NEEDED, ESPECIALLY THE HOST FAMILY.

I KNOW ALLISON BROUGHT THIS, LIKE, HUGE SUITCASE WITH HER.

WE WERE VERY WORRIED THAT IT WOULD NOT GET FILLED.

IT DEFINITELY DID.

HER HOST FAMILY ACTUALLY GOT HER THIS VERY LARGE BOX OF CANDY THAT FILLED BASICALLY THE ENTIRE THING.

AND FOR MY HOST FAMILY, IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE MY BROTHER ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE SAME HOST FAMILY BY COINCIDENCE.

SO IT WAS VERY EXCITING TO BE ABLE TO MEET THEM AND BE ABLE TO SEE HIS PICTURE IN THEIR LIVING ROOM WITH MY HOST BROTHER, JUNYA.

SO YEAH, IT WAS VERY, VERY COOL.

YEAH, THAT'S COOL. OKAY.

WE DID A LOT OF DIFFERENT EVENTS WHEN WE WERE THERE.

THE FIRST THING YOU SEE ON THE LEFT IS A PICTURE OF US AT THE CITY HALL.

AND A THING THAT WAS REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT THE CULTURE THERE IS ALL THE JAPANESE PEOPLE REALLY LOVED IT WHEN WE GAVE SPEECHES, SO WE GAVE MULTIPLE SPEECHES EITHER IN JAPANESE OR WITH A TRANSLATOR, WHICH WAS VERY FUN.

[00:05:04]

IT WAS A LOT. AND THEN THE MIDDLE PICTURE IS US IN THE SCHOOL.

THAT WAS DEFINITELY A HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP.

THE KIDS WERE SO NICE AND THEY WERE REALLY FUNNY AND REALLY NICE TO KNOW AND IT WAS REALLY FUN.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT IS US AT THE FIRE STATION AND WE ACTUALLY GOT TO MEET SOMEBODY THAT HAD COME HERE TO SOUTHLAKE FROM TOME A WHILE AGO.

SO IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING.

AND LIKE ALLISON SAID, WE ACTUALLY ENDED UP GIVING A FEW SPEECHES IN JAPANESE, WHICH WAS A BIT INTIMIDATING, ESPECIALLY WITH LIKE THE MAYOR, WHICH IT WAS, IT WAS SOMETHING. BUT THEY WERE VERY HAPPY TO SEE US ENGAGING IN THEIR CULTURE, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE ACTIVITIES WE ENDED UP DOING.

WE DID A LOT OF CALLIGRAPHY AT A CERTAIN POINT, AND I GUESS I WAS LUCKY IN THAT I HAD SOME EXPERIENCE ALREADY WITH CHINESE, AND THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO SORT OF RELATE A LOT OF THEIR MORE HISTORICAL CULTURAL INFORMATION WITH CHINESE HISTORY, LIKE WE ENDED UP DRAWING THE CHARACTER SHUI, WHICH IS WATER.

AND AGAIN, I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I HAD A BIT OF AN EDGE OVER ALLISON.

[LAUGHTER] BUT YEAH, AND WE GOT TO VISIT SO MANY DIFFERENT CULTURAL SITES AND TEMPLES AND THERE WAS JUST SO MUCH NATURE WHICH SEEMS LIKE A REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF THEIR SORT OF CULTURE OR SPIRITUALITY TYPE INTERESTS, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS AN INTERESTING CONTRAST BETWEEN US AND THEIR CULTURE.

AND SO. QUESTION WHERE DID YOU GUYS LEARN JAPANESE? DID YOU STUDY IT FOR THE TRIP OR DID YOU ALREADY KNOW IT BEFORE YOU WENT OR? WE PRACTICED A LITTLE BIT BEFOREHAND.

IT WAS VERY LIKE LEARNING AS WE WENT IN TERMS OF WHAT TO SAY.

LIKE OBVIOUSLY, LIKE, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

LIKE WE'RE SO GLAD TO BE HERE IN JAPAN.

LIKE IT'S SO FUN AND EXCITING TO LIKE, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO VISIT.

IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT LIKE A EXPERT LEVEL JAPANESE, BUT THEY WERE VERY CLEAR THAT THEY WERE HAPPY THAT WE AT LEAST ATTEMPTED.

YEAH, MORE JAPANESE THAN ANY OF US SPEAK.

I GUARANTEE YOU THAT. PROBABLY.

THEY WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH EVERYTHING WE DID.

LIKE WE GOT COMPLIMENTED ON USING CHOPSTICKS.

YEAH. YEAH. THAT'S AMAZING.

OH, YEAH. AND THEN WE WANTED TO PRESENT A GIFT FROM THE MAYOR OF TOME, AND IT'S RIGHT HERE.

WOW. LOOK AT THIS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANKS. WHAT IS THE MAYOR'S NAME? SO I'M SHALL I OPEN THIS NOW OR SHOULD I WAIT? I DON'T KNOW. I KIND OF WANT TO OPEN IT NOW.

IS THIS GOING TO BE AWKWARD? OKAY.

THIS IS LIKE WATCHING SOMEBODY ELSE [INAUDIBLE].

OH, VERY COOL. WOW.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

[INAUDIBLE] EXACTLY HOW TO DO THIS.

WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS DECORATION? BUT WHAT IS IT? YEAH. THAT'S AMAZING.

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. WELL, VERY GOOD.

WE'LL HAVE TO SEND THEM SOMETHING IN RETURN.

THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH FOR THIS.

THIS IS GREAT. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL WAIT BEFORE YOU GUYS LEAVE? COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT.

WELL, THANK YOU GUYS FOR REPRESENTING SOUTHLAKE SO WELL.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF IF YOU WANTED TO SPEAK TO WHAT'S COMING UP.

OH, YES.

SAY A FEW WORDS. LET EVERYBODY KNOW.

IT'S PRETTY EXCITING. OKAY, SO WE HAVE DELEGATES FROM TOME CITY COMING HERE ON OCTOBER 31ST.

UP UNTIL NOVEMBER 5TH.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GETTING TO HOST SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE GOT TO SEE OVER THERE.

I'M ACTUALLY GETTING TO HOST WHO I STAYED WITH, WHICH IS REALLY INCREDIBLE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT TIME.

WELL, HOPE YOU GUYS GOT A LOT OUT OF THE EXPERIENCE.

THAT'S REALLY, REALLY COOL.

AND THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING AND THANK YOU FOR REPRESENTING SOUTHLAKE SO WELL.

ALL RIGHT. EXCELLENT.

[5. Discuss all items on tonight's agenda. No action will be taken and each item will be considered during the Regular Session.]

WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER ALL THE ITEMS ON CONSENT AGENDA AND THEN WE'LL ASK IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO PUT ON IT.

SO ITEM 4A APPROVE MINUTES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2023 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND 4B EXCUSE COUNCIL MEMBER AMY TORRES-LEPP FOR THE SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2023 REGULAR CITY

[00:15:02]

AND ITEM 4N RESOLUTION NUMBER 23-018 AMENDING THE FEE SCHEDULE.

OKAY, COUNCIL. ANYTHING ELSE WE WANT TO PUT ON CONSENT? YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND PUTTING ON CONSENT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2 3-022, AUTHORIZING PURCHASES FOR THE 2024 FISCAL YEAR AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER CONTRACTS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE SAID PURCHASES.

OKAY. SHANA YOU WANT TO GIVE US JUST A 30 SECOND RUNDOWN OF THAT ONE? YES, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THIS IS A CONCEPT THAT REALLY IS A PROCESS IMPROVEMENT.

IT'S DESIGNED TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY.

YOU HAVE APPROVED ON FIRST READING AND WILL CONSIDER SECOND READING OF THE BUDGET THIS EVENING, WHICH DETAILS THESE PURCHASES AND AUTHORIZES THOSE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET.

WHAT THIS RESOLUTION DOES IS IT CREATES A PROCESS BY WHICH THE CITY MANAGER CAN REVIEW THE PURCHASES OF THOSE ITEMS AS THEY COME FORWARD.

AND SO WITH THE APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 23-022, YOU WILL BE PRE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE THE EXPENSES THAT YOU HAVE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND SO THIS IS IN LIEU OF US READING THESE VERY, VERY LENGTHY CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER WHEN WE'RE BASICALLY DOING WHAT BASICALLY WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE A REDUNDANT PROCESS A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFICIENT WITHOUT GIVING UP THE CHECKS AND BALANCES.

PERFECT. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT COUNCIL? SO THAT'S ITEM 6E THAT'S GOING ON CONSENT.

AND THEN ALAN, MR. TAYLOR. WE HAVE A, THAT'S ITEM 6E IS THE SECOND READING OF CARILLON PARC.

THE ZONING. YES, WHICH WE DENIED ON FIRST READING.

CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS BACK ON THE AGENDA AND WHETHER WE CAN PUT THIS ON CONSENT FOR.

YES. MR. MAYOR, AS YOU AND I HAVE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY, AND UNDER THE SOUTHLAKE ZONING ORDINANCE, EACH PARTICULAR REZONING REQUEST IS PRESENTED FOR TWO READINGS BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

THE STATE STATUTE.

CHAPTER 211 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE REQUIRES THAT AS AN ELEMENT OF ZONING APPROVAL, THAT AN APPLICANT BE AFFORDED A PUBLIC HEARING IN ORDER TO SEE IF THERE ARE CITIZENS WHO SUPPORT OR WHO OPPOSE THE REQUEST AND WOULD PRESENT INFORMATION, EVIDENCE OR ARGUMENT RELATING TO THE CASE. IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, WE HOLD AN INITIAL FIRST READING WITHOUT A STATUTORY PUBLIC HEARING.

WE DO NOT PUBLISH NOTICE.

WE DO NOT ADVERTISE THAT WE ARE SOLICITING CITIZEN COMMENTS ON THESE ITEMS. THE IDEA OF FIRST READING IS TO GIVE THE APPLICANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO LAY OUT THEIR GENERAL PLAN.

THE CITY COUNCIL ASKS QUESTIONS, MAKE SUGGESTIONS, INDICATES THINGS THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH, AND THE APPLICANT FREQUENTLY COMES BACK ON SECOND READING WITH REVISIONS TO THEIR PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE TO RESPOND TO THE COUNCIL'S CONCERNS.

AND THEN A PUBLIC HEARING IS HELD.

IN THIS INSTANCE IN THE CARILLON CASE ON FIRST READING, THE COUNCIL VOTED TO DENY THE REQUEST AND ON THAT BASIS, NORMALLY YOU WOULD THINK THE CASE DIES.

[00:20:02]

AS I'VE PREVIOUSLY ADVISED, THE CITY COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARE SORT OF UNUSUAL.

THEY HAVE THEIR OWN RITUAL FORM THAT HAS TO BE FOLLOWED FOR EACH TYPE OF REGULATION.

IF SOMEONE SUBMITS A SUBDIVISION PLAT PROPOSAL, ONLY THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY CAN AUTHORIZE A PLAT SUBMITTAL.

IF THE OWNER WITHDRAWS THE PLAT, THE MATTER IS DEAD BECAUSE THE CITY NO LONGER HAS JURISDICTION.

THE OWNER HAS WITHDRAWN IT.

IN A ZONING CASE HOWEVER, THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN MAKE THE REQUEST OR A CITY CAN COME FORWARD WITH A PROPOSAL TO REZONE PROPERTY. AND EITHER PARTY CAN ADVANCE THE REQUEST.

IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE INVOLVING CARILLON, THE CASE WAS PRESENTED ON FIRST READING AND NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED OF A PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD AT SECOND READING. THE CASE WAS VOTED FOR DENIAL IN FIRST READING, BUT WE ALREADY HAD THE SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING.

APPARENTLY THIS PRIOR TO THE END OF THIS PRIOR WEEK, THE APPLICANT SENT A LETTER REQUESTING THAT THE ITEM BE WITHDRAWN.

THEY NO LONGER WISH TO PURSUE IT.

AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY THING REMAINING IS FOR THE ONLY OTHER POSSIBLE APPLICANT, THE CITY COUNCIL, TO DETERMINE IF THEY WANTED TO PROCEED WITH A ZONING CHANGE.

IF NO MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO PROCEED WITH A ZONING CHANGE ON THE PROPERTY, THEN THE COUNCIL MAY SIMPLY DENY THE REQUEST TO MOVE ON.

AND IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING.

BUT JUST TO BE CLEAR, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A THEORETICAL APPLICANT.

OBVIOUSLY, NOTHING WE'VE DONE AS A CITY HAS ADVANCED THIS CASE.

THAT IS CORRECT. YEAH. SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WE CAN PUT IT ON CONSENT.

YOU COULD PUT IT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA TO DENY IT WITHOUT HOLDING THE PUBLIC HEARING IF THE CITY COUNCIL DOES NOT WISH TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRESSING THE CASE.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO OBJECTS TO PUTTING THIS ON CONSENT FOR THE SECOND READING TONIGHT? OKAY, LET'S GO AHEAD AND PUT THE DENIAL ON CONSENT THEN.

OKAY. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I RECOMMEND WE MOVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-564 F ZA 23-0045 SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR CARILLON PARC.

MOVE THAT TO CONSENT TO DENY.

OKAY, PERFECT. OKAY.

ANYTHING ELSE COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT.

THAT BEING ALL THE ITEMS ON CONSENT, I WILL GO AHEAD AND CALL THIS REGULAR SESSION OF THE COUNCIL MEETING TO ORDER.

[1. Call to order]

[ 2.A. Executive Session]

SO AS MAYOR, I HEREBY ADVISE YOU THAT WE ARE GOING INTO THE EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, SECTION 551.071 TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY AND SECTION 551.072 TO DELIBERATE REGARDING REAL PROPERTY MATTERS AND SECTION 551.087 TO DELIBERATE REGARDING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEGOTIATIONS.

MISS YELVERTON. OKAY.

WE SHOULD BE OUT BY 7:00.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S 7:14.

I'LL CALL THIS REGULAR SESSION BACK TO ORDER.

IS THERE ANY ACTION NEEDED OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO, MAYOR. GREAT.

MOVING ON TO ITEM 3A THEN MAYOR'S REPORT.

[3.A. Mayor's Report]

MISS PILAR, IF YOU COULD PUT THAT GRAPHIC ON THE SCREEN.

SO I WANT TO INVITE EVERYBODY SINCE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE AND I HAVE A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE TO COME ON OUT ON THURSDAY TO THE MARQ FOR OUR SECOND ANNUAL STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS.

WE'LL BE GOING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR STARTING AT 5:30.

AND WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT NOT ONLY WHERE WE'VE BEEN OVER THE LAST YEAR, BUT ALSO WHERE WE'RE GOING OVER THE NEXT YEAR.

SO HIGHLY ENCOURAGE IF YOU'VE GOT A MINUTE TO COME ON OUT, IT'LL ALSO BE BROADCAST SO YOU CAN WATCH IT LIVE AND IT'LL BE RECORDED SO YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT AND LISTEN TO IT ON THE WAY TO WORK OR WHATEVER. BUT WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH YOU GUYS HOWEVER WE CAN AND IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT WAY POSSIBLE.

SO IF YOU ARE FREE ON THURSDAY NIGHT, WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOU AT 5:30 AT THE MARQ.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT'S THE MAYOR'S REPORT.

I'LL MOVE ON TO THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.

[ 3.B. City Manager's Report]

YES, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

IT'S A BITTERSWEET EVENING FOR US BECAUSE CHRIS TRIBBLE HAS ANNOUNCED THAT HE INTENDS TO RETIRE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST, AND WE WANT TO HONOR HIM TONIGHT FOR HIS SERVICE WITH THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE SPANS 17 YEARS.

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT HAVE WORKED WITH HIM KNOW THAT BY THE TIME HE GOT TO SOUTHLAKE, HE ALREADY HAD 20 YEARS OF PARK AND RECREATION LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE.

HE STARTED HIS WORK BACK IN 1985 WITH THE CITY OF MESQUITE.

WHILE HE'S BEEN HERE, HE HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAS GONE ON WITH PARKS AND RECREATION AND ALL OF THE AFFILIATED

[00:25:10]

SO JUST A COUPLE OF STATISTICS.

WE CURRENTLY OFFER MORE THAN 1,200 RECREATION PROGRAMS PER YEAR.

WE HAVE SEVEN ATHLETIC ORGANIZATIONS THAT HE AND HIS TEAM WORK WITH.

WE HOST AN AVERAGE OF 300 EVENTS AT LEGENDS HALL ANNUALLY, AND HE MANAGES THE NEEDS OF 12,500 MEMBERS OF CHAMPIONS CLUB. WE ALSO HAVE A NATURE CENTER, A SENIOR CENTER, AND WE MAINTAIN OVER 1100 ACRES OF PARK LAND.

OH, AND BY THE WAY, HE BUILT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS EVENING, INCLUDING THE MARQ.

SO CHRIS HAS BEEN A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR TEAM, AND WE'RE JUST SO PROUD THAT WE HAD THE CHANCE TO WORK WITH HIM.

AND I THOUGHT THAT BEFORE WE ASK HIM TO COME UP AND MAKE SOME COMMENTS THIS EVENING, MAYBE WE COULD OPEN IT UP TO COUNCIL TO RECOGNIZE CHRIS AND THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE. YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH, SHANA.

WELL, I'LL GO FIRST. CHRIS, IT'S BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE WORKING WITH YOU.

IT'S BEEN EIGHT, EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOUR SERVICE PARTICULARLY, AND I IMAGINE YOU FIND IS REALLY MEANINGFUL, IS THE FACT THAT YOUR FINGERPRINTS ARE EVERYWHERE, LIKE SHANA SAID, YOU KNOW, FROM THE PARKS TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE RECREATION FACILITIES TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE AMAZING BUILDINGS.

I MEAN, A LOT OF WHAT THE CITIZENS VIEW AS REALLY GREAT PIECES OF OUR QUALITY OF LIFE YOU'VE EITHER DEVELOPED OR IMPROVED OR YOU MAINTAIN OR ALL THE ABOVE. AND YOU KNOW, YOU ALSO ARE ON THE FRONT LINES OF SO MUCH CUSTOMER SERVICE INTERACTING WITH OUR CUSTOMERS IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, AND WE JUST CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR SERVICE.

WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU AROUND HERE MIGHTILY.

I KNOW IT'S NOT GOODBYE YET. WE GOT ANOTHER PARTY, I THINK, COMING UP, WHICH WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT.

BUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE GIVEN TO THIS CITY.

AND YOUR LEGACY WILL CONTINUE FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME.

[INAUDIBLE] COUNCIL.

WELL, CHRIS. YEAH.

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.

I FEEL A BIT CHEATED THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO WORK WITH YOU LONGER, HAVING BEEN ON COUNCIL ONLY THREE YEARS NOW.

BUT I ALSO FEEL BLESSED, SO IT'S BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH YOU.

MOST RECENTLY WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH A TEAM WORKING ON THE PICKLEBALL PROJECT AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT COME TO FRUITION.

IT'S PRETTY EXCITING FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

AND JUST DURING MY TIME ON COUNCIL, JUST ALL THE TIMES I'VE BEEN ABLE TO CALL YOU, ASK QUESTIONS, YOU HAVE SOLUTIONS AND ANSWERS AND YOU'VE JUST BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH AND OUR CITY IS VERY BLESSED TO HAVE HAD YOU ALL THIS TIME.

I STILL FEEL LIKE YOU MUST BE, YOU KNOW, 35 YEARS OLD.

I CAN'T IMAGINE.

YOU ARE. OKAY, GOOD.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS RIGHT AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO NEXT AND WHATEVER THAT IS.

AND FOR WHOEVER OR WITH WHOEVER, THEY'RE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE YOU.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'LL HAVE TO ECHO SOME OF THAT BECAUSE I'VE ONLY BEEN ON COUNCIL FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS AND REALLY HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE TO DO A TON WITH YOU.

BUT I WILL SAY I'VE LOVED ALL MY INTERACTIONS WITH YOU.

YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE.

YOU'RE ALWAYS AVAILABLE.

IT'S JUST ALWAYS BEEN A JOY TO HAVE ANY TIME, AND ANYTIME I HAD A QUESTION, YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE WITH AN ANSWER, AND IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE IT, YOU WENT AND FOUND IT VERY, VERY QUICKLY. YOU KNOW, WE SHARE SOME COMMON FRIENDS.

MISS FRANCIS BACK THERE IS A HUGE TRIBBLE FAN.

SO THAT MAKES ME A HUGE TREBLE FAN BECAUSE I'M A BIG FRANCIS FAN.

SO ANYBODY SHE LIKES, YOU'VE GOT A PRETTY HIGH BAR.

SO SUPER GLAD FOR YOU, EXCITED FOR WHAT YOU'VE GOT NEXT.

AND, YOU KNOW, JUST WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK AND THANK YOU FOR THE YEARS AND YEARS OF SERVICE HERE AND JUST CAN'T SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING.

WELL, OF COURSE, I REMEMBER LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.

I THINK WE HAD OUR FIRST MEETING.

I THINK JOHN AND I WERE NEWLY ELECTED AS COUNCIL MEMBERS AND WE GOT PART OF THIS KIDS SPORTS LEAGUES TASK FORCE DEALING WITH THE FACILITY, USE AGREEMENTS AND SCHEDULING ALL THE TEAMS ON THE FIELDS.

AND I REMEMBER MY HEAD WAS SPINNING.

I DON'T KNOW HOW JOHN WAS HANDLING IT, BUT YOU WERE JUST YOU WERE JUST GREAT AT JUST GUIDING US AS NEW COUNCILMEMBERS ON THE HISTORY, THE BACKGROUND OF WHY WE DID THINGS THAT WAY AND THE LOGIC BEHIND IT.

AND SO I REMEMBER FROM THEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH MORE RECENTLY, SOME OF THE PROGRAMING THAT YOU'VE PUT TOGETHER FOR KIDS WITH DISABILITIES HAS BEEN REALLY FANTASTIC.

I THINK THE RANGE OF THINGS THAT YOU'VE HAD YOUR FINGERPRINTS ON FROM THE ACTUAL BUILDINGS, LIKE SHANA SAID TO THE PROGRAMING, YOU WEAR MANY HATS AND YOU DO IT ALL WELL.

SO I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE.

I APPRECIATE YOU WORKING WITH ME AND HELPING ME AS A NEW COUNCIL MEMBER ALL THE WAY THROUGH PRESENT.

SO I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH AND YOUR SERVICE IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

WELL, THIS WILL BE A VERY SELF-SERVING GOODBYE.

MANY PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW THIS.

WHEN I WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE, I WOULD PUT THESE POSTS UP OCCASIONALLY.

[00:30:03]

AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE SAW ONE OF THOSE POSTS, BUT WHEN I GOT ON COUNCIL HE STARTED TELLING ME ABOUT THE THE NUMEROUS PARKS.

I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD THAT MANY PARKS AND MANY OF WHICH HAD BASS IN THEM.

ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS I GOT TO DO, THANKS TO DIRECTOR TRIBBLE, IS THE ELECTROSHOCKING AT BOB JONES PARK.

I GOT TO WITNESS THAT ONE MORNING AND IT WAS REALLY COOL TO TAKE PICTURES OF THAT AS A HUGE BASS FISHERMAN.

WHAT'S BEEN I WAS ENJOYING INTERACTING WITH SENIOR LEADERSHIP BECAUSE I ALWAYS SAY AND I SAID THIS TODAY TO A GROUP OF PARENTS, YOU KNOW, WE GET TO SIT ON THE DAIS AND LOOK OUT PRETTY WELL MAYBE THE EXCEPTION TO ME, BUT AND TAKE ALL THE CREDIT.

BUT IT'S THE STAFF THAT REALLY IS THE ENGINE THAT MAKES THIS THING GO.

AND SO I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED OUR INTERACTIONS.

BUT EVERY MORNING I TAKE OUR DOG TO BOB JONES PARK, AND EVERY EVENING I TAKE HIM TO BOB JONES PARK AND I GET TO INTERACT WITH THE STAFF AND SEE JUST HOW GREAT OF THE JOB THAT THEY'RE DOING. AND I JUST THINK THAT'S EMBLEMATIC OF THE LEADER THAT THEY HAVE IN YOU.

SO I MISS, YOU KNOW, JOKING AND TALKING TO YOU AND FINDING OUT LITTLE NUGGETS OF WHAT'S GOING ON WHERE.

BUT I WISH YOU THE BEST.

I KNOW GREAT THINGS IN YOUR FUTURE, BUT YOU'VE SERVED THIS CITY INCREDIBLY WELL AND YOUR FINGERPRINTS ARE ALL OVER IT.

SO THANK YOU. YEAH.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. WELL, YOU'VE DEFINITELY NOT SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST, BUT YOU HAVE SAVED THE OLDEST FOR LAST.

[LAUGHTER] SO AS I THINK BACK ON MY TIME WITH CHRIS, I MEAN, WE GO BACK TO ABOUT 2009, I THINK, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WORKING TOGETHER.

SO AS A PARKS BOARD MEMBER, JUST KIND OF LEARNING THE INS AND OUTS OF THAT PART OF THE CITY AND THE CITY'S BUSINESS.

GETTING TO KNOW CHRIS AND WORKING WITH YOU THROUGH ALL THAT TIME AND NOW TEN YEARS ON CITY COUNCIL.

IT'S BEEN WONDERFUL.

WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER PARKS, SOUTHLAKE, PARKS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND OF COURSE COUNCIL, MANY GROUNDBREAKINGS, MANY RIBBON CUTTINGS. IT'S REALLY BEEN IT'S REALLY BEEN SPECIAL.

I MENTIONED THE MAYOR AND I DID A MINUTE WITH THE MAYOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND THAT WAS RELEASED RECENTLY JUST TO TALK ABOUT CHRIS AND HIS LEGACY IN THE CITY.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I MENTIONED WAS ALL OF OUR DIRECTORS ARE CERTAINLY UNDER THE MICROSCOPE OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT I CAN'T THINK OF A POSITION THAT'S ANY MORE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE OR SPOTLIGHT THAN THAN YOUR POSITION, BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A PERSON IN THE AUDIENCE OR A PERSON IN THE CITY WHO DOESN'T INTERACT WITH OUR PARKS SYSTEM OR WITH OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES SYSTEM OR THE CHAMPIONS CLUB, OR WHOSE CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN, NIECES AND NEPHEWS HAVEN'T BEEN A PART OF A SPORTS ORGANIZATION THAT THE CITY IS PUTTING ON.

SO YOU'RE CONSTANTLY UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT AND YOU'VE REALLY DONE A FANTASTIC JOB.

I THINK PEOPLE CAN LOOK AROUND OUR CITY, AT OUR PARK SYSTEM AND OUR SERVICES THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT BRINGS FORWARD AND SEE THE QUALITY ALL OVER IT AND YOUR FINGERPRINTS ARE ON THAT. AND THAT WAS UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP.

SO WE APPRECIATE THAT, BUT I APPRECIATE OUR FRIENDSHIP AND I HOPE THAT CONTINUES.

I KNOW IT WILL AND CERTAINLY WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY JUST THE BEST OF EVERYTHING IN THE NEXT CHAPTER, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE AN EXCITING NEXT CHAPTER FOR YOU.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT THAT IS AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU EXCEL.

SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

CHRIS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO STEP FORWARD? BEFORE I GET STARTED I JUST WANT TO VERIFY THAT NO FISH WERE HARMED WHEN WE DID THAT. I MAKE SURE THAT'S VERY CLEAR TO ANYONE.

I WAS WONDERING, IS THAT IS THAT LEGAL OR DO WE NEED TO ASK CHIEF OR.

IT WAS A POPULATION STUDY THAT WE DID.

A POPULATION STUDY OKAY. THEY WERE NOT HARMED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

SO MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND SHANA, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR KIND WORDS.

IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THIS COMMUNITY IS EXTREMELY BLESSED TO HAVE HAVE A MAYOR AND COUNCIL LIKE YOU AND THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE YOU.

TREMENDOUS BOARD MEMBERS FROM PARKS AND RECREATION TO PUBLIC ART PLANNING AND ZONING.

THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT STEP FORWARD TO SERVE, AND IT WAS A PRIVILEGE TO WORK ALONGSIDE YOU, TO DO A LOT OF THESE DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TRUST THAT YOU HAD, THE WAY YOU ALWAYS TREATED STAFF AND WORKED WITH STAFF.

IT'S VERY HUMBLING.

AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO AND BEING ABLE TO WORK HAND IN HAND.

AND THIS COMMUNITY IS ALSO BLESSED TO HAVE HAD SHANA YELVERTON SITTING IN THAT SEAT RIGHT THERE AS LONG AS SHE'S BEEN THERE.

SHANA THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME.

I'VE SAID BEFORE THIS WAS KIND OF A DREAM JOB.

I'VE TOLD YOU THAT I'VE REALLY ENJOYED IT.

AND YOU ALL MENTIONED SO MANY DIFFERENT MEMORIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT I HAVE, AND THEY'LL ALWAYS BE WITH ME.

MY KIDS GREW UP WHEN I WAS IN THIS ROLE.

I CAN REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG AND WE WOULD DRIVE INTO TOWN, THEY WOULD SAY, DAD, WE ALWAYS KNOW WHEN WE'RE IN SOUTHLAKE.

AND SO THAT WAS THAT WAS ALWAYS A PRIDE MOMENT FOR ME AS WELL.

BUT I JUST WANT TO REALLY SAY THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO MY FELLOW EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM.

[00:35:04]

IT'S JUST REALLY BEEN A REALLY WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR ME HERE.

DAVID AND MY TEAM.

MIKE REASONER IN PARKS, RYAN MCGRAIL, RECREATION, CRYSTAL MADDALENA, WHO DOES OUR SALES AND HOSPITALITY.

VICKY SCHEIBER OUR LEADERSHIP, MALINKA MY ASSISTANT.

THE FOLKS THAT YOU HAVE WORKING IN ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT AREAS WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT AND ACROSS OTHER DEPARTMENTS TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN WHAT THEY DO, AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SO GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO. AND SO THAT COMES FROM YOUR LEADERSHIP, YOUR GUIDANCE, THE WAY WE MOVE FORWARD WITH METHODICALLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT OUR COMMUNITY WANTS AND HOW WE GO ABOUT DELIVERING THAT.

SO IT'S BEEN A TRUE HONOR AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE KIND WORDS THAT YOU HAD AND REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. [APPLAUSE] CHRIS, CAN WE GET A PICTURE WITH YOU BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN? ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL COME ON OVER.

ALL RIGHT. MS. YELVERTON IS THAT IT FOR CITY MANAGERS REPORT?.

VERY SAD CITY MANAGERS.

OKAY. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

COUNCIL IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS BEFORE WE HAVE A MOTION? IF NOT, I WILL TAKE A MOTION.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'LL MAKE A MOTION ITEMS 4A THROUGH 4N NOTING THAT WITH RESPECT TO ITEM 6E ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-564F CASE NUMBER ZA23-0045 SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR CARILLON PARC.

THIS ITEM WAS DENIED ON FIRST READING AND A PUBLIC HEARING WAS ADVERTISED FOR A SECOND READING TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2023.

THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED THAT THIS ITEM BE WITHDRAWN.

WE ARE MOVING ITEM SIX E FROM OUR REGULAR AGENDA TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA AND DENYING ITEM 6 E ALSO NOTING THAT WE ARE MOVING ITEM 6C FROM OUR REGULAR AGENDA TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA AND APPROVING ITEM 6C ITEM SIX C IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 23-022 AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE SAID PURCHASES.

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

OKAY. CONSENT AGENDA PASSES SIX ZERO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC FORUMS. SO PUBLIC FORUM IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITIZENS TO ADDRESS COUNCIL ON SOMETHING NOT RELATED TO THE AGENDA.

I KNOW A LOT OF YOU GUYS ARE HERE ON A FEW PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEMS, SO WE'LL GET TO THOSE WHEN WE CALL THOSE AGENDA ITEMS. BUT IF THERE IS ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS COUNCIL ON SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, I'LL OPEN UP PUBLIC FORUM.

[5. Public Forum]

AND IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

NOW, MISS PATTY, I KNOW YOU'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM, SO BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO TALK NOW AS WELL.

YOU GOT IT. SEPARATE.

OKAY. PATTY MINDER 223 EASTWOOD DRIVE SOUTHLAKE 40 YEAR RESIDENT OF SOUTHLAKE.

I WOULD ASK, HAVE WE MOVED ANY FURTHER ON THE STOPLIGHT WITH THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AT VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE AND 1709 NOW THAT THE PARENTS ARE USING THE PARKING LOT BEHIND THE SHOPPING CENTER, THEY'RE NOW USING OUR STOPLIGHT TO COME OUT AT 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON.

AND SOMETIMES WE HAVE 15 TO 20 CARS BACKED UP AT THE LIGHT NOW.

SO I WAS WONDERING, I CALLED TXDOT AND THEY SAID SINCE IT'S A SIDE STREET THAT IT'S THE CITY COUNCIL'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK FOR A LEFT HAND TURN. SO I DON'T KNOW WHO'S TELLING ME THE TRUTH.

[00:40:02]

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT? WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION ITEM.

WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT OR DELIBERATE.

WHY DON'T I HAVE STAFF FOLLOW UP WITH THAT WITH YOU ON THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE? CAN I DO THAT? OKAY. SOUNDS GREAT.

MISS SHANA, WILL YOU ROUTE THAT REQUEST TOO`.

I WILL HAVE THEM FOLLOW UP.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK AT PUBLIC FORUM? OKAY. SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC FORUM AND WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 6A AND 6B, 6C WAS PREVIOUSLY PUT ON CONSENT AND PASSED.

[Items 6.A & 6.B]

MS.. JACKSON. THANK YOU.

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THERE ARE THREE AGENDA ITEMS 6A APPROVING THE TAX RATE.

6B ADOPTING THE BUDGET AND 6C HAS ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED AND WAS MOVED APPROVED ON CONSENT.

FIRST, STARTING WITH THE PROPERTY TAX RATE REDUCTION.

AS PREVIOUSLY STATED IN THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS, WE ARE PROPOSING A TAX RATE REDUCTION OF JUST OVER $0.04.

THE PROPOSED TAX RATE IS 0.319, WHICH IS JUST UNDER THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE, WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY REFERRED TO AS THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.

WE'RE ALSO MAINTAINING THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION AT 20%, WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BASED ON STATE STATUTE, WHICH REDUCES THE TAXABLE VALUE JUST OVER 200,000 BASED ON THE AVERAGE APPRAISED HOME HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

AND WITH THIS HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, GIVES AN ADDITIONAL TAX RATE EQUIVALENT REDUCTION OF 6.4 CENTS, WHICH GIVES A TAX RATE EQUIVALENT RATE OF 25.5 PER $100.

ON THIS SLIDE IS TO GIVE YOU A GREAT DEPICTION OF THE TAX RATE INCENTIVES.

THE TAX RELIEF INCENTIVES THAT WE'VE GIVEN OVER THE YEARS WITH THE TOP GRAPH, IT'S A REFLECTION OF THE APPRAISED VALUE OF ONE POINT, JUST UNDER 1.5 MILLION AND A TAXABLE VALUE OF JUST UNDER 880,000.

SOMETHING TO NOTE HERE IS THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT, THE ASSESSED VALUE HAS INCREASED 56%, THE TAXABLE VALUE HAS INCREASED 39%.

BUT THE TAX CITY TAX BILL HAS DECREASED BY 4% IN A TEN YEAR FACTOR.

THAT REALLY GIVES YOU A GREAT DEPICTION OF THE TAX RELIEF OVER THE YEARS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS PROVIDED.

AND THE CHART BELOW IS BASED OFF OF A HOME APPRAISED VALUE OF JUST UNDER 1.3 MILLION TAXABLE VALUE OF A MILLION, AND THE INCREASE OVER THE TEN YEARS, 78% INCREASE IN ASSESSED VALUE, 47 INCREASE IN TAXABLE VALUE AND JUST A 1% INCREASE IN THEIR TAX BILL OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD.

AND AGAIN, JUST TWO GREAT DEPICTIONS OF THE TAX RELIEF THAT THE HOMEOWNERS HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS IN SOUTHLAKE.

NEXT TO TOUCH ON THE OVERALL BUDGET.

THE OPERATING BUDGET PROPOSED BUDGET IS 127 MILLION AND AS STATED PREVIOUSLY IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATIONS, IT DOES CONSIST OF NUMEROUS FUNDS WITH THE LARGEST FUND BEING THE GENERAL FUND OF 52.6 MILLION.

NEXT IS UTILITY FUND OF 31.4 MILLION.

AND AGAIN, OVERALL, THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS 127 MILLION, WHICH IS 8.9% INCREASE WHEN COMPARED TO THE 2023 ADOPTED BUDGET.

AS WITH THE PREVIOUS YEARS, THIS PROPOSED BUDGET HITS ALL OF OUR FINANCIAL GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

AND IF YOU RECALL PREVIOUSLY, I'VE DISCUSSED EACH GUIDING PRINCIPLE IN DETAIL IN A PREVIOUS PRESENTATION.

BUT ONE THING ABOUT THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES HAS SERVED US WELL.

THERE'S A GREAT EXAMPLE, IS THAT WE HAVE A TRIPLE-A RATING BY ALL THREE RATING AGENCIES, AND PRIMARILY DUE TO THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WERE ESTABLISHED NUMEROUS YEARS AGO. AND AGAIN, THIS BUDGET IS ALIGNED WITH ALL THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT ARE NOTED ON THE SLIDE.

AND THAT CONCLUDES THE BUDGET PRESENTATION.

WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED AND DISCUSSED THE AUTHORIZATION OF THE PURCHASES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 AGENDA ITEM 6C.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS JACKSON? ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

THANK YOU TO SHANA.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF.

IT IS A JOY TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER FURTHER TAX RELIEF TO OUR RESIDENTS AND TO BE ABLE TO TELL EVERYONE THAT WE ARE MANAGING THEIR MONEY WELL.

AND YOU GUYS ARE BEING GREAT FIDUCIARIES FOR THAT REVENUE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WELL, THESE ITEMS ARE BOTH PUBLIC HEARINGS.

SO IF ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO COME DOWN AND AND TELL MS. JACKSON HOW GREAT OF A JOB SHE'S DOING, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY WELCOME TO.

SO I'LL CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 6 A IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

[00:45:03]

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 6A ORDINANCE NUMBER 1277 SECOND READING TAX LEVY ORDINANCE.

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

ITEM 6A PASSES. SIX ZERO.

GREAT. AND WE'LL CALL ITEM 6B AND OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

IS THERE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK IN THE AUDIENCE ON 6B? SEEING NONE. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TAKE A MOTION.

YES, MAYOR. COUNCIL. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 6B ORDINANCE NUMBER 1276.

SECOND READING APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 AND APPROVING THE REVISED BUDGET FIGURES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023.

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

ALL RIGHT. ITEM 6 B PASSES 6 TO 0.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT BUDGET.

CONGRATULATIONS ON FINISHING THAT PART OUT.

AND WE'LL SEE YOU GUYS NEXT BUDGET SEASON.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED 6C ON CONSENT, SO I'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 6D, ZA 23-0049 SITE PLAN FOR CONSTELLATION SOUTHLAKE DIRECTOR

[6.D. ZA23-0049, Site Plan for Constellation Southlake, for property described as Tracts 1B01, 1B01B 1B01C, 1B01C1, 1B01C2, 1B01D, Harrison Decker Survey Abstract No. 438, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 2100-2120 Mustang Court, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "1-2" Heavy Industrial District. SPIN Neighborhood #8.]

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL ON JUST UNDER 34 ACRES LOCATED AT 2000-2120 MUSTANG COURT.

THIS IS JUST NORTH OF STATE HIGHWAY 26.

THE PROPOSAL IS FOR APPROXIMATELY 536,000FT² OF WAREHOUSE SPACE THAT WOULD REPLACE CURRENTLY OPERATING FUEL TANK FARM.

THIS AERIAL PHOTO OF THE SITE.

THE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THIS PROPERTY IS INDUSTRIAL.

AND THE CURRENT ZONING IS I2 HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.

THESE ARE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SITE FROM STATE HIGHWAY 26 AND LIKEWISE FROM THE INTERSECTION OF 26 AND MUSTANG COURT. AND THIS IS A EXHIBIT OF THE SITE PLAN THAT IS DIVIDED WITH MATCH LINES AND TWO PLAN SETS.

THE PORTION OF THE PLAN ON THE LEFT IS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE SITE, AND THAT ONE ON THE RIGHT IS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE SITE CLOSEST TO STATE HIGHWAY 126 AND OR 2026 AND MUSTANG COURT.

THIS IS A SITE DATA SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT AND EXCUSE ME, THAT'S 546,330FT² PROPOSED. AND ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDINGS.

THIS IS BUILDING ONE.

BUILDING TWO.

BUILDING THREE AND BUILDING FOUR.

THESE ARE SOME RENDERED ELEVATIONS OF THE SITE AND BUILDINGS.

THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING IN A NORTH EASTERLY DIRECTION.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN.

NOW, THIS WOULD BE A DETENTION AREA LOCATED IN THIS PORTION OF THE SITE.

AND THIS IS MH ZONE RESIDENTIAL.

PROPERTY JUST TO THE WEST BOUNDARY.

THEY WOULD BE PROPOSING THE STANDARD REQUIRED EIGHT FOOT WIDE SCREENING FENCE AND WOULD BE P

[00:50:01]

THIS IS A EXHIBIT OF THE TREE PLAN.

THE SITE IS COVERED WITH APPROXIMATELY 23% TREE COVER LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE SITE, AND THEY ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO REMOVE 100% OF THAT.

THERE WOULD BE ZERO PRESERVATION OF THE EXISTING TREE COVER.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SIX ZERO.

SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT AND SITE PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY AND GRANTED APPROVAL OF THE TREE PRESERVATION VARIANCE.

AND WE'VE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES FROM SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR KILLOUGH. COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS FOR DENNIS? SO THIS CLEAN SITE PLAN OTHER THAN A SLIGHT TREE VARIANCE? YES, SIR. OKAY.

AND THIS IS PURSUANT ONCE AGAIN TO THE ZONING CHANGE THAT WE PUT ON THE PROPERTY.

I MEAN, YEARS AGO AT THIS POINT, CORRECT? YES. YEAH. OKAY.

OKAY, GREAT. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? IF YOU GUYS HAVE A PRESENTATION, YOU CAN COME ON DOWN.

IF HE COVERED EVERYTHING, THAT'S OKAY TOO.

YOU SEEM LIKE YOU REALLY WANT TO TALK.[LAUGHTER] COME ON DOWN.

IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

HI, MY NAME IS KAYLEE FLYNN.

I WORK FOR HALFF ASSOCIATES LOCATED AT 1201 NORTH BOWSER IN RICHARDSON.

SO THE ONLY THING I GUESS THAT I WANTED TO SAY WAS ALONG THE RESIDENTIAL AREA ONE THING THAT WASN'T STATED WAS THAT THERE IS A LARGE WALL THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE WHERE OUR SITE IS APPROXIMATELY AT THE HIGHEST POINT, 16FT LOWER THAN THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL.

SO IF THERE'S ANY CONCERN ABOUT SCREENING ALONG THAT AREA, IT'S ACTUALLY SCREENED MUCH MORE AS THE HOUSES WILL BE MUCH HIGHER AND WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE AS MUCH OF THE INDUSTRIAL AREA.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT. SO YOU GUYS ARE LOWER THAN THE GRADE OF THE HOUSES? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

AND WHAT FENCE ARE YOU BUILDING ALONG THE RESIDENTIAL? IT'S A WOOD FENCE IN A SORRY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ZONING.

YEAH. OKAY. OKAY, GREAT.

BUT AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO GO A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ORDER NOW AND JUMP ALL THE WAY OVER TO ITEM 9 A, WHICH IS THE CITY COUNCIL CONFIRMATION OF THE CITY MANAGER'S APPOINTMENT OF PILAR

[9.A. City Council confirmation of the City Manager's appointment of Pilar Schank as the Director of Communications.]

THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, AND I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW THAT WE COULD HAVE PUT THIS ON CONSENT, BUT THEN THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY FUN BECAUSE NOW WE CAN TALK GREAT ABOUT ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT PILAR DOES AND EMBARRASS HER JUST A LITTLE BIT IN FRONT OF ALL YOU GUYS.

SO LET ME ASK MISS YELVERTON AND I GUESS STACY, WE'LL.

MISS BLACK IF YOU COULD PLEASE PRESENT THIS ITEM HAPPILY.

GOOD. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, AS MAYOR SAID, WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO REQUEST COUNCIL CONFIRMATION OF THE CITY MANAGER'S APPOINTMENT OF PILAR SCHANK AS OUR DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS.

OF COURSE, THIS ALIGNS TO OUR STRATEGY MAP RELATIVE TO THE FOCUS AREA OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE DELIVERY.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE CITY CHARTER, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REQUIREMENTS THAT MUST BE MET WHEN APPOINTING A DEPARTMENT HEAD.

THE DEPARTMENT HEAD IS APPOINTED BY THE CITY MANAGER, IS CONFIRMED BY CITY COUNCIL, AND THEN THAT DEPARTMENT HEAD WOULD HAVE SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY AND FINANCIAL CONTROL OVER THEIR DEPARTMENT.

JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE POSITION ITSELF.

THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT TO HER DEPARTMENT.

THE DEPARTMENT IS THE OFFICE OF COMMUNICATIONS AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.

THIS INCLUDES STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS, PLANNING, DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT, CONTENT CREATION AND OVERSIGHT, MEDIA RELATIONS AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, TO ME, SHE ACTS AS A KEY ADVISOR TO KEY LEADERSHIP FOR COMMUNICATIONS ON PUBLIC RELATIONS ISSUES.

SO SHE IS OUR GO TO PERSON FOR ALL THINGS PR AND COMMUNICATIONS RELATED.

BUT NOW LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PILAR.

MISS SCHANK HAS DEMONSTRATED EXCEPTIONAL COMMITMENT AND EXPERTISE THROUGHOUT HER 30 YEAR CAREER IN COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC RELATIONS, WRITING AND TV NEWS MEDIA. HER CAREER IN SOUTHLAKE BEGAN IN 2006 WHEN SHE ASSUMED THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS OFFICER.

OVER THE YEARS, SHE HAS PROGRESSIVELY TAKEN ON ROLES OF INCREASING RESPONSIBILITY, INCLUDING COMMUNICATIONS AND WEBSITES MANAGER, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS, AND MOST RECENTLY, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS.

SHE HOLDS A BACHELOR OF ARTS IN JOURNALISM FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA IN RENO, HAS A GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN MARKETING FROM SMU AND IS A CERTIFIED PUBLIC COMMUNICATOR.

THIS APPOINTMENT WOULD PROVIDE MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AND STABILITY FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND HAS NO NEGATIVE BUDGET IMPACT.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT COUNCIL WOULD CONFIRM THIS APPOINTMENT.

AND OF COURSE, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, STACY.

COUNCIL LET ME START BY SAYING WE'RE VERY, VERY HAPPY TO BE VOTING ON THIS ITEM TONIGHT.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU, PILAR, FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

I KNOW THIS IS SORT OF GIVING YOU A NEW TITLE WITHOUT A WHOLE LOT OF CHANGES IN YOUR JOB DUTIES, BUT I THINK IT IS A VERY, VERY DESERVING TITLE.

I THINK ALL OF US WERE INITIALLY SHOCKED THAT YOU WEREN'T ALREADY A DIRECTOR BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU ACT.

THAT'S HOW YOU MANAGE THINGS.

YOU JUST DO A GREAT JOB IN HELPING US THROUGH TOUGH ISSUES AND ME PARTICULARLY BOTH ON THE CONTENT CREATION SIDE, YOU BRING SUCH A GREAT PROFESSIONAL APPROACH TO HOW WE DO COMMUNICATIONS AND YOU'VE PIVOTED IN ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA ERA, AND YOU'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND RUN A WONDERFUL TEAM, BUT ALSO IN CRISIS MANAGEMENT, PUBLIC RELATIONS, WHEN THINGS COME UP THAT WE NEED MEDIA RELATIONS HELP, YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE AND WE REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE YOU DO A WONDERFUL JOB AND WE'RE EXCITED THAT YOU'RE CONTINUING THIS ROLE.

SO THANKS FOR AGREEING TO STEP UP.

COUNCIL ANY COMMENTS? YEAH. I ECHO WHAT YOU SAID.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS ALREADY THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS, SO.

[LAUGHTER] AND REALLY, THAT SPEAKS TO ALL THE THINGS THE MAYOR JUST TALKED ABOUT.

YOUR LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM, THE WAY YOU LEAD IN THIS AREA AND LEAD OUR CITY AND TAKE CARE OF US RELATIVE TO PR AND COMMUNICATIONS AND ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THAT YOU MANAGE IN THOSE AREAS.

AND FOR ME, I GUESS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO SOMEHOW DO IS WRANGLE THE MAYOR FROM A COMMUNICATION STANDPOINT.

GOD BLESS PILAR. I MEAN, IT'S NOT AN EASY JOB.

I MEAN, I'VE WITNESSED IT FIRSTHAND AND YOU DO A PHENOMENAL JOB AT THAT.

AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT AND FOR EVERYTHING ELSE YOU'RE DOING.

IT'S JUST BEEN A PLEASURE TO GET TO KNOW YOU AND TO SEE YOU WORK AND JUST DO ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU DO SO WELL.

SO THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS.

[01:00:03]

AND SO SHE'S BEEN PUTTING UP WITH MY PR NIGHTMARE FOR OVER A DECADE NOW.

MY MOUTH GETS ME IN A LOT OF TROUBLE AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

SHE JUST HAS TO LEARN HOW TO HELP ME CONTROL IT.

SHE'S DONE A GREAT JOB.

I LOVE HER AGAIN, KIND OF LIKE CHRIS THE ACCESSIBILITY, THE CHANCE THAT ANYTIME I NEED ANYTHING AT ALL, JUST, HEY, HOW DO I SAY THIS WITHOUT MAKING HALF THE WORLD MAD? YOU HELP ME WALK THROUGH THAT AND GET THAT DONE.

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU WERE A DIRECTOR, TOO.

SO THAT'S ON US FOR NOT KNOWING THAT.

[LAUGHTER] BUT JUST GLAD YOU'RE HERE AND SUPER HAPPY FOR YOU TO HAVE THIS POSITION NOW.

AGAIN, SIMILAR TO THE COMMENTS ABOUT CHRIS.

I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WORKING TOGETHER AND WE WERE VERY GREEN, VERY MUCH NEWBIES AND I'M SURE WE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES AND YOU POLITELY POINTED THEM OUT TO US AND MADE SURE THAT IT WAS A TEACHING MOMENT.

AND I THINK WE'VE BECOME BETTER COUNCILMEMBERS AND DONE BETTER IN THIS ROLE BECAUSE OF YOUR WISDOM AND YOUR PROFESSIONALISM, WHICH IS A WORD THAT EVERYONE'S BEEN SHARING.

AND YOU'VE GOT A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, I MEAN, TO PUT UP WITH US AND SOME OF OUR ANTICS AND WHAT WE THINK IS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR MIGHT NOT BE SO, BUT YOU PUT UP WITH IT AND YOUR PATIENCE.

IT'S REALLY COMMENDABLE.

AND I'M SO PROUD THAT YOU'RE PART OF THE TEAM AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE BEING RECOGNIZED TONIGHT WITH THIS PROMOTION TO DIRECTOR.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO FOR US.

I LOVE THAT WE'RE MAKING YOU UNCOMFORTABLE.

[LAUGHTER] RIGHT? SO SO SELFISHLY, AGAIN, TO MAKE THIS ABOUT ME.

I LOVE HAVING A BRAND MANAGER WORKING WITH THE CITY.

I THINK THERE'S THINGS AND I'VE KNOWN THIS FOR YEARS THAT THERE WILL BE THINGS THAT COME UP AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO, AS I TOLD THE THE CITY MANAGER, WE NEED TO NOT PUT THE SCHOOL SAYS PROTECT TRADITION.

I SAY PROTECT OUR REPUTATION.

WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK FOR OURSELVES.

AND I LOVE THAT YOU PROVIDE THAT.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO AND GO BRANDING.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, PILAR, I'M NOT SURE YOU HAVE THE MAYOR FULLY WRANGLED, BUT YOU'RE WELL ON YOUR WAY TO HAVING FULL WRANGLING.

GOOD LUCK. YEAH.

I DO NOTICE THIS PROMOTION COMES ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER I STARTED TWEETING A LOT.

SHE'S BEEN THROUGH THE FIRE.

I DON'T THINK IT'S CALLED TWEETING ANYMORE, THOUGH.

OH, YEAH? WHAT IS IT? XING.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. I'LL TWEET ABOUT THAT LATER.

BUT PILAR, CONGRATULATIONS.

I MEAN, WHEN I THINK ABOUT PILAR, I THINK OF THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL.

I MEAN, IT'S WONDERFUL WHEN YOU CAN GO TO A STAFF MEMBER AND IN THIS CASE, YOU KNOW, THE DIRECTOR OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS WHOLE PROCESS AND JUST HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE. YOU JUST KNOW THAT YOU CAN TRUST HER AND SHE UNDERSTANDS THE SITUATION AND SHE'S GOING TO LOOK DOWNSTREAM FOR WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT SAY.

AND THAT'S SO VALUABLE.

WHEN YOU WHEN YOU SIT UP HERE.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I ALSO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM, ANY TIME WE SPEAK OR SPEAK PUBLICLY, THE TIME AND THE EFFORT THAT GOES INTO THE BACKGROUND WORK YOU PUT INTO THAT TO PROVIDE TALKING POINTS AND KNOWING THAT IN MOST CASES WE'RE GOING TO WANDER OFF AND GO IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, BUT GIVING US THOSE TO KIND OF KEEP US GUIDED IS SO VALUABLE.

AND WE APPRECIATE THAT. SO CONGRATULATIONS.

DIRECTOR SCHENCK, WOULD YOU CARE TO SAY ANYTHING? YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

I'M TRULY HONORED, TRULY HONORED TO BE A PART OF THE SOUTHLAKE TEAM AND SPECIFICALLY THE OFFICE OF COMMUNICATION AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. I'VE LEARNED SO, SO MUCH FROM WORKING HERE AND WHEN I WAS HIRED IN 2006. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT A LONG CAREER IN CITY GOVERNMENT WAS GOING TO BE MY LEGACY.

AND IT IS.

AND LIKE CHRIS, MY MY BABIES HAVE GROWN UP HERE AND I KIND OF TIME THEM ACTUALLY TO MY TENURE HERE. AND SO HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK HERE HAS BEEN THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME AND I'M GREATLY, GREATLY APPRECIATIVE.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, COUNCIL, IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I WILL TAKE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I'M PROUD TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 9 A CITY COUNCIL CONFIRMATION OF THE CITY MANAGER'S APPOINTMENT OF PILAR SCHANK AS THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS.

AND THIS BETTER BE UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE.

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

AND NOT SURPRISINGLY SO.

CONGRATULATIONS, DIRECTOR SCHANK, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WORK.

[01:05:03]

[Items 7.A & 7.B]

AND DIRECTOR KILLOUGH I BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING TO PRESENT BOTH ITEMS AT THE SAME TIME.

THAT IS CORRECT. TAKE IT AWAY, SIR.

AND THANK YOU MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

FIRST ITEM IS A LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT CP23-0001.

AND THAT IS FIRST READING.

AND SECOND ITEM IS ZA23-0043.

FIRST READING FOR A ZONING CHANGE AND SITE PLAN FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2185 EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY.

AND THE CURRENT ZONING ON THIS PROPERTY IS B1 BUSINESS SERVICE PARK DISTRICT.

AND THE CURRENT LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THE PROPERTY IS RETAIL COMMERCIAL ON ROUGHLY THE NORTH HALF OF THE PROPERTY AND OFFICE COMMERCIAL ON ROUGHLY THE SOUTH PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

AND THE RETAIL COMMERCIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION PROPOSES AND DEFINES THAT USE AS A RETAIL COMMERCIAL CATEGORY THAT IS LOWER TO MEDIUM INTENSITY, COMMERCIAL CATEGORY, PROVIDING NEIGHBORHOOD TYPE RETAIL SHOPPING FACILITIES AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES.

IT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE LIMITED LOCAL RETAIL AND OFFICE USES WHICH SERVE NEIGHBORHOODS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.

IT IS INTENDED THAT ALL USES IN THIS CATEGORY WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES, THEREBY MAINTAINING THE CHARACTER, AND INTEGRITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

THIS CATEGORY IS INTENDED TO ENCOURAGE COMPREHENSIVELY PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS IN AREAS WHERE THE RETAIL COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION IS ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY OR AREAS WITH RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION ON THE LAND USE PLAN.

LOWER INTENSITY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS OFFICE OR OFFICE RELATED USES SHOULD BE PLANNED ADJACENT TO THOSE RESIDENTIAL USES.

OTHER SUITABLE ACTIVITIES ARE THOSE PERMITTED IN THE PUBLIC PARKS, OPEN SPACE, PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC AND OFFICE COMMERCIAL LAND USE CATEGORIES.

AND BELOW THAT IS JUST A GENERAL GUIDELINE.

IT'S NOT INTENDED TO BE SPECIFIC, BUT HOW THESE AREAS ARE ENVISIONED AND IN DEVELOPING AS FAR AS THE PERCENTAGE OF THE MIX OF USES.

THE OFFICE COMMERCIAL DEFINITION IS OFFICE COMMERCIAL CATEGORIES COMMERCIAL CATEGORY DESIGN AND INTENDED FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF OFFICE AND LIMITED OFFICE RELATED ACTIVITIES.

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

IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO ENCOURAGE AND PERMIT GENERAL, PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS OFFICES OF HIGH QUALITY AND APPEARANCE IN ATTRACTIVE LANDSCAPED SURROUNDINGS WITH TYPES OF USES AND DESIGN EXTERIOR APPEARANCE SO CONTROLLED AS TO BE GENERALLY COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING AND FUTURE ADJACENT SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

PROPERTIES WITH THIS DESIGNATION MAY SERVE AS A TRANSITION BETWEEN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, MAJOR ROADWAYS AND RETAIL DEVELOPMENT.

OTHER SUITABLE ACTIVITIES, ONCE AGAIN, ARE THOSE IN THE PUBLIC PARKS, OPEN SPACE, PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC CATEGORIES, AND BELOW IS A GENERAL GUIDELINE OF MIX OF USES TYPICALLY IN THIS LAND USE CATEGORY.

THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL IS TO RETAIN THE CURRENT LAND USE AND PROVIDE A SITE SPECIFIC JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROPOSED ZONING.

ACCOMPANYING THIS REQUEST, WHICH WOULD BE TO ALLOW THE SP2 DETAILED SITE PLAN DISTRICT ZONING ALLOWING A LARGE SINGLE FAMILY RETAIL DEVELOPMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 75,000FT².

THE NEXT ITEM ZONING REQUEST IS FOR SP 1 DETAILED SITE PLAN DISTRICT AND IS ACCOMPANIED WITH THE SITE PLAN.

[01:10:02]

IT WOULD ALSO PERMIT WAREHOUSE USES AS DEMONSTRATED IN THEIR PROPOSAL.

IT WOULD INCLUDE OUTSIDE STORAGE WITH MASONRY SCREENING FOR PROPANE TANKS.

WITH THE ZONING REGULATION ALLOWING ALSO USE OF A COLOR RED THAT APPEARS TO BE WITHIN THE PROHIBITED COLORS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

ALSO APPLICANT IS IN THEIR SP1 REGULATIONS PROPOSING A REDUCED PARKING FROM WHAT WOULD BE THE STANDARD PARKING BASED ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF USES WITHIN THE BUILDING BASED ON A STUDY OF THEIR OTHER FACILITIES.

THEIR STUDY INDICATES THAT TYPICAL PARKING IS JUST SLIGHTLY UNDER ONE SPACE PER 1000FT², AND THEY ARE PROPOSING ONE SPACE FOR A TOTAL OF 141 PARKING SPACES, WHICH REALLY EQUATE TO ROUGHLY A LITTLE OVER 237 SPACES OR ONE SPACE PER 237FT².

BUILDING HEIGHT THERE, INDICATING THAT MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT WITHIN 100FT OF RESIDENTIAL WOULD NOT EXCEED 20FT.

AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES OF THE BUILDING TO GO AS HIGH AS 40FT.

UNDER TREE PRESERVATION ON THE PROPERTY.

THERE'S ROUGHLY 22% TREE COVER ON THE SITE.

THEY'RE ASKING TO PRESERVE 4.34% OF THAT AND INDICATING THAT WITH SOME OF THE LARGER CALIPER SIZED TREES THEY'RE PROPOSING WOULD OFFSET THE LACK OF OF PRESERVED COVERAGE WITH THE TREE REMOVAL.

ALSO UNDER LANDSCAPE PROVISIONS, THEY'RE REQUESTING A REDUCED NUMBER OF PLANTINGS, BUT ONCE AGAIN, INCREASING THE MINIMUM CALIPER SIZE UP TO FOUR INCHES ON, I BELIEVE, AS MANY AS 28 TREES.

UNDER THEIR TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PROPOSAL AND IN LINE WITH SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY.

THEY'RE WORKING TO GUIDE PRIMARY DIRECTION OF CUSTOMER AND DELIVERY TRAFFIC, AS WELL AS REGULATING CUSTOMER PICKUP TIMES.

AND ON THE SITE PLAN, THERE IS A STACKING VARIANCE FOR THE MOST SOUTHERN DRIVEWAY THAT PRIMARILY ACCESSES THEIR TRUCK LOADING AREA FOR DELIVERIES AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR A VARIANCE TO STACKING DEPTH TO ALLOW THE 41FT SPACING FROM THE DRIVEWAY TO THE VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

AND ALSO THEY WOULD BE ESCROWING FUNDS FOR THE EIGHT FOOT TRAIL THAT'S REQUIRED ALONG THE NORTH BOUNDARY OF VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

THIS IS THEIR PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

THIS IS THE STACKING VARIANCE INDICATED THEY ARE PROPOSING AN EIGHT FOOT MASONRY WALL JUST ALONG THE NORTH EDGE OF THE VILLAGE CENTER RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION.

AND THIS IS A BLOW UP OF THE LARGER PORTION OF THE SITE AND THE SITE DATA SUMMARY.

THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS PROPOSED.

AND THE SIGNAGE, OF COURSE, IS NOT AN ELEMENT OF APPROVAL OR CONSIDERATION WITH THE SITE PLAN.

HOWEVER, THE AWNING COLOR PROPOSED AND SOME OF THIS UPPER ELEMENT ARE THE COLOR REGULATION

[01:15:02]

FRONT AND REAR ELEVATION DETAIL.

AND A RENDERING OF THE SITE.

THIS WILL BE LOOKING SOUTHWEST.

AND A VIEW LOOKING NORTH EAST.

BE LOOKING NORTHWEST.

AND VIEW LOOKING NORTH.

THIS IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING AND THE EIGHT FOOT WALL.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN.

AND TREE PRESERVATION PLAN.

AND JUST SOME VIEWS OF THE PROPERTY AS IT EXISTS TODAY.

SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSES.

THE PROPERTY OWNER TO THE WEST, WHO HAD INITIALLY SUBMITTED A LETTER OF SUPPORT, HAS CHANGED THAT TO A NEUTRAL, UNDECIDED POSITION.

THERE'S TWO LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM JOINING COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TO THE NORTH.

THIS IS, I BELIEVE, ETHAN ALLEN.

AND THEN THE KIMBLE OAKS SHOPPING CENTER OWNERSHIP.

WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE SCHOOL SCHOOL DISTRICT TODAY NOTING THEIR OPPOSITION.

THOSE ARE THE OPPOSITIONS RECEIVED WITHIN THE 200 FOOT PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY AND WITHIN THE 300 FOOT NOTICE AREA.

WE'VE RECEIVED SEVERAL RESPONSES BY EMAIL OUTSIDE OF THAT 300 FOOT NOTIFICATION OR WHICH APPEAR TO ALL BE OUTSIDE OF THAT. AND AS OF THE CLOSE OF OUR COMPLETION OF THIS PRESENTATION, THAT WAS AT ABOUT 31 IN OPPOSITION.

AND OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION APPROVED A MOTION TO DENY A 6 TO 0.

WE'LL NOTE THAT UNDER SOUTHLAKE ZONING ORDINANCE, A DENIAL BY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DOES NOT INVOKE A SUPERMAJORITY OR REQUIREMENT AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL.

PROPERTY OPPOSITION FROM SURROUNDING PROPERTIES IN EXCESS OF 20% WOULD IMPACT A VOTE OF A SUPERMAJORITY REQUIREMENT AT A SECOND READING.

DENNIS, DO YOU KNOW IF THE OPPOSITION THAT WE RECEIVED PUTS US OVER THAT 20% THRESHOLD? IF THE APPROPRIATE OPPOSITION FORM HAS BEEN SUBMITTED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THAT WOULD APPEAR TO PUT IT IN A SUPERMAJORITY.

YES, SIR. THAT'S ONLY ON SECOND READING.

CORRECT? EXCUSE ME.

THAT'S ONLY AT SECOND READING, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, YES.

GOTCHA. ARE YOU AWARE IF THE APPLICANT HAS MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE APPLICATION AFTER THE P&Z DENIED THE SIX ZERO? WHAT WE'VE PRESENTED TO YOU TONIGHT DOES NOT REFLECT ANY CHANGES.

OKAY. OKAY.

AND THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE THEIR PRESENTATION, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN THAT.

SURE. BEFORE WE GET TO THAT COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF AT THIS POINT? OKAY. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

IF THE APPLICANT IS HERE.

YES. SO COME ON DOWN, PLEASE.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN GO AHEAD WITH THE PRESENTATION.

SURE THING. THANK YOU.

VICTORIA MORRIS. JACKSON WALKER.

I'M A LAND LEASE ATTORNEY 2323 ROSS AVENUE.

MAYOR HUFFMAN, COUNCILMEMBERS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT.

WITH US TODAY WE HAVE A FULL TEAM.

PHILIP COCHRAN, LAND DEVELOPMENT MANAGER AT FLOOR & DECOR, COLLEEN DARWIN, REAL ESTATE DIRECTOR AT FLOOR & DECOR AS WELL.

AND THEN WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM HALFF ASSOCIATES, OUR ENGINEERING TEAM AND MARSH PMK, OUR ACOUSTIC ENGINEER.

DURING OUR P&Z HEARING, WE OPTED FOR A BRIEF PRESENTATION, EXCUSE ME, BRIEF PRESENTATION, AND REQUESTED THAT WE RESERVE TIME AFTER CITIZEN COMMENT TO

[01:20:07]

BUT WE WERE NOT PERMITTED TO DO SO.

SO I ASK THAT YOU BEAR WITH US FOR A MOMENT WHILE WE GET INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN IN-DEPTH, COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF OUR REQUEST.

SURE. SO.

AGAIN, JUST RE-ORIENTING YOU TO THE SITE WHICH STAFF DID A GREAT JOB OF.

THE CURRENT LAND USE? B-1 BUSINESS SERVICE PARK DISTRICT.

THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN VACANT LAND FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THE SURROUNDING USES ARE A BIG BOX RETAILER TO THE IMMEDIATE EAST.

RESTAURANT, DIFFERENT TYPES OF RETAILERS TO THE NORTH AND INSTITUTIONAL USES TO THE WEST AND SOUTH.

SO THE FIRST PART OF OUR APPLICATION IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, SPECIFICALLY REQUESTING A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS SPLIT, THE NORTHERN PORTION BEING RETAIL, COMMERCIAL, SOUTHERN BEING OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

AND THIS PROPERTY IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED AND HAS A COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT MAKE FOLLOWING EITHER OF THESE DESIGNATIONS A LITTLE DIFFICULT.

MAINLY IT'S LARGE INFILL PROPERTY AND THERE IS LIMITED VISIBILITY FROM SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

ESSENTIALLY THE MOST COMPATIBLE USE WOULD BE AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT WHICH CARRIES WITH IT HIGHER PARKING AND TRAFFIC DEMANDS, PARTICULARLY DURING PEAK TIMES SCHOOL HOURS.

AS I MENTIONED, THE PROPERTY HAS UNDERGONE A COUPLE OF DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION REQUESTS, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, INCLUDING A SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, AS WE UNDERSTAND, IN THE EARLY 90S.

AND ALSO THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FLOOR & DECOR DOES PROVIDE A LOWER INTENSITY USE THAN SOME OF THE OTHERS THAT COULD BE PLACED ON THE PROPERTY MEETING SOME OF THOSE SPECIFIC REGULATIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN BOTH RETAIL, COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE COMMERCIAL DEFINITIONS THAT DIRECTOR KILLOUGH EXPLAINED EARLIER.

IN ADDITION, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS SEVERAL GOALS THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT IN PARTICULAR HELPS MEET.

QUALITY DEVELOPMENT BEING THE FIRST AND FOREMOST.

FLOOR & DECOR IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A CREATIVE QUALITY INVESTMENT.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND RETAILERS AND OFFICE TENANTS THAT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A MORE SET BACK PROPERTY.

BEING A SOLE OPERATOR, THEY ARE WILLING TO MAKE THAT INVESTMENT INTO THE PROPERTY DESPITE THOSE LIMITATIONS.

BALANCE IS THE SECOND GOAL LOWER DENSITY, YET HIGHER INTENSITY RETAIL USES ARE SURROUNDING.

SO WE ARE THE LOWER INTENSITY AND FLOOR & DECOR IS A SPECIALTY SOLE OPERATOR RETAILER HELPS BALANCE THOSE DIFFERENT USES THAT ARE SURROUNDING.

AND THIRD, ECONOMIC GROWTH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THERE'S GROWTH, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND SERVICES.

I'LL LET PHILIP SPEAK TO THAT IN A MOMENT.

SO THE ZONING REQUEST IS AN SP1 DETAILED SITE PLAN.

STAFF DID A GREAT JOB.

I WON'T BELABOR MANY OF THE SITE PLAN REGULATIONS THAT WE'VE PROPOSED.

THE 5% OF REGAL RED DID ACTUALLY INCLUDE THE SITE SIGNAGE, SO IT WILL ACTUALLY BE MUCH LESS THAN 5% PER FACADE WHICH WE CAN CLARIFY.

PARKING. OUR PARKING STUDY ACTUALLY DEEMED ONLY 70 PARKING SPACES WERE REQUIRED FOR THIS USE, WHICH I THINK LENDS ITSELF TO THE LOWER INTENSITY THAT WE'LL SPEAK ABOUT IN MORE DETAIL AS WELL.

AND TO ACCOMMODATE SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS THAT WE'VE HEARD, WE'VE INCLUDED THAT ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE REGARDING VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE AND OUR TRUCK TRAFFIC HAS BEEN REROUTED TO NOT UTILIZE VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

MY LAST SLIDE, BUT MAYOR HUFFMAN, I HEARD YOU ASK ABOUT CHANGES SINCE P&Z, WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN MADE, BUT SIGNIFICANT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE THE SPIN MEETING.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, THERE WAS THE EXTENSION OF VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE AND AN ACCESS POINT ALONG THAT ROADWAY AS WELL.

BASED ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD FEEDBACK, WE ABSOLUTELY HEARD THE CONCERN ABOUT VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE AND TRAFFIC.

AND SO WE HAVE REMOVED THE EXTENSION.

IT STILL HAS BEEN DEDICATED ON OUR PLANS TO THE CITY AND WE'VE CHANGED THAT ACCESS POINT AS WELL.

[01:25:02]

WE'VE ALSO CONDUCTED AN OUTREACH TO ALL OF THE ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS, AND WE ALSO HAVE VOLUNTARILY HOSTED A COMMUNITY MEETING AND INVITED OVER 80 NEIGHBORS.

WE ONLY HAD SIX ATTEND, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE THESE REVISIONS TO OUR SITE PLAN AND ADDRESS MANY OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS.

I WILL PASS IT OVER TO PHILIP COCHRAN WITH FLOOR & DECOR TO GIVE YOU SOME BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

SURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

SIR. COME ON DOWN, PLEASE. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR HUFFMAN, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND CITIZENS OF SOUTHLAKE.

I'M PHILIP COCHRAN. I'M A LAND DEVELOPMENT MANAGER WITH FLOOR & DECOR.

WE'RE LOCATED AT 2500 WINDY RIDGE PARKWAY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

30339. AS TORY SAID, WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY OUR DESIGN TEAM AND THEY'RE HAPPY TO ASSIST WITH ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE. AND I'M HAPPY TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR APPLICATION FOR OUR NEW STORE AT 2185 EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

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

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN A VIBRANT AND SUCCESSFUL COMMERCIAL NODE, AND IT HAS A STRONG MIXTURE OF POPULATION CONSISTING OF CONTRACT PROFESSIONALS, DIYERS AND ESTABLISHED HOMEOWNERS WHO WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE LOOKING TO UPGRADE THEIR HOMES.

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

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FLOOR & DECOR.

WE WERE FOUNDED IN ATLANTA IN THE YEAR 2000.

WE'RE A LEADING SPECIALTY RETAILER IN HARDWOOD SURFACE FLOORING, TILE WOOD, STONE TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES.

THE SPECIALTY RETAILER IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE.

UNLIKE OTHER TRADITIONAL BIG BOX RETAILERS WHO ARE SELLING YOU PRODUCTS, YOU'LL TYPICALLY VISIT PROBABLY WEEKLY OR EVEN TWICE A WEEK HOME DEPOT OR LOWE'S, THE TARGET OR WALMART, FLOOR & DECOR IS MORE FOCUSED ON SELLING THE PROJECT.

SO YOU MAY NOT HAVE A PROJECT AT YOUR HOME FOR 5-10 YEARS.

SO VISITS TO US ARE LESS FREQUENT THAN THEY ARE TO OTHER BIG BOX RETAILERS.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR OPERATIONS.

WE SOURCED DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURERS AND QUARRIES.

EXCITING NEWS FOR US IS AS OF AUGUST OF 2023, THERE ARE 204 STORES IN MOST METROPOLITAN MARKETS IN THE UNITED STATES.

EACH STORE STOCKS ABOUT 1,000,000 SQUARE FOOT OF FLOORING PRODUCTS.

OUR AVERAGE TICKET PRICE IS APPROXIMATELY $500 PER CUSTOMER.

WE NOW OFFER FREE DESIGN SERVICES IN STORES.

THE MAKE UP OF OUR CUSTOMERS ARE ROUGHLY 60% PROFESSIONALS.

THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE MERCHANT ARE THE STORE MANAGERS PROMOTED WITHIN THE COMPANY AND THE ENTIRE STORE TEAM IS HIRED LOCALLY.

THE HOURS OF THE STORE ARE 7 A.M.

TO 7 P.M.

AND DELIVERIES OCCUR AFTER RETAIL HOURS AFTER MOSTLY AFTER 10 P.M.

AND AN EXCITING PIECE OF NEWS, WE WERE VOTED A 2023 NEWSWEEK BEST PLACE TO WORK.

AS YOU SAW EARLIER.

HERE'S A COPY OF THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

BUILDING ELEVATIONS.

TRUCK TRAFFIC PATH.

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SLIDE YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU.

THIS IS FROM A NATIONWIDE STUDY WE'VE CONDUCTED OF OUR STORES.

YOU'LL SEE THAT WE HAVE INCLUDED STORES FROM EACH MAJOR MARKET FLORIDA, VIRGINIA, NEW YORK, THE SOUTHEAST WITH SOUTH CAROLINA, TEXAS.

AS YOU SEE DURING THE WEEK OUR AM PEAK IS AROUND 9:30.

PM PEAKS FOR THE STORE ARE AROUND 4:15 TO 4:30 AND THEN WEEKEND TIMES PEAK TIMES ARE AROUND LUNCH.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER, AND EVEN IN THE PUBLIC FORUM, THERE WAS DISCUSSION OF THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC.

THIS IS A CURRENT SLIDE TAKEN FROM THE SCHOOL'S WEBSITE.

BUS TRAFFIC IS TO FILL FROM THE FRONT DRIVE.

[01:30:02]

IT HAS BEEN NOTED BY THE CITIZENS AND BY US THAT DURING AFTERNOON PICKUP HOURS, MANY PEOPLE ARE UTILIZING THE SHOPPING CENTER AS A PARKING AREA TO AVOID THE CAR RIDE OR PICKUP.

THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW CLOSE WE ARE PROPOSING TO BE TO OUR NEIGHBORS.

TO KING'S UNIVERSITY, WE ARE APPROXIMATELY ONE FOOTBALL FIELD.

THE RESIDENTIAL SITES BELOW US ROUGHLY THREE FOOTBALL FIELDS FROM THE BACK OF THE STORE TO THE BACK OF THE HOUSE AND ONE FOOTBALL FIELD AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL. I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MINUTE NOW AND TURN THIS OVER TO ONE OF OUR CONSULTANTS, DAVID MARSH, WITH MARSH PMK.

WE HAD THEM DO A NOISE STUDY.

WE HAD THEM STUDY OUR STORE IN THE COLONY AND THEN TAKE THE SOUND READINGS AND COMPARE IT TO WHAT WE FOUND HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

SO IF YOU WOULD ALLOW ME A MOMENT, I'D LIKE TO TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO DAVID TO SPEAK ON HIS FINDINGS.

SURE. NO PROBLEM, DAVID.

SIR, ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

MY NAME MY NAME IS DAVID MARSH WITH MARSH PMK INTERNATIONAL.

WE'RE LOCATED AT 1130 EAST ARAPAHO ROAD IN RICHARDSON, TEXAS 75081.

THE SLIDE YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS ONE OF FIVE SIMILAR TO THIS THAT ARE GENERATED BY THAT WERE GENERATED BY AN ACOUSTICAL MODELING PROGRAM. IT'S USED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

IT'S CALLED SOUND PLAN, AND IT IS A MODEL OF OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION.

SO IT'S A LOT LIKE A TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP WHERE THE CONTOURS ON THERE IN DIFFERENT COLORS REPRESENT THE SOUND LEVELS.

AND I'D LIKE TO JUST TAKE A MINUTE TO DESCRIBE SOUND LEVELS BECAUSE THE TOPIC IS TECHNICAL AND ALL THE LETTERS AND ALPHABET SOUP GETS PEOPLE CONFUSED.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT BACKGROUND NOISE, WHICH IS THE NORMAL ORDINARY NOISE OF THE DAY, AIRCRAFT FLYOVERS, NEARBY LOCAL ROADS, HIGHWAY 114. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT.

AND WHENEVER WE ARE LISTENING TO NOISE, OUR EARS FILTER THE SOUND.

SO IF YOU LISTEN TO YOUR STEREO AND YOU TEND TO WANT TO CRANK THE BASS UP A LITTLE BIT, IT'S BECAUSE YOUR EARS ARE LESS SENSITIVE AT BASS FREQUENCIES THAN THEY ARE AT TREBLE FREQUENCIES. THAT NATURAL FILTERING WHEN YOU MAKE A MEASUREMENT, IS CALLED AN A WEIGHTING FILTER.

SO WHEN WE REFER TO DECIBELS, WE WE USE THE ABBREVIATION DB AND WHAT IS A WEIGHTED TO CORRESPOND TO THE WAY WE HEAR SOUND AND CHANGES IN LEVEL IS CALLED DBA.

ON THE SLIDE YOU'LL SEE THAT IT SAYS LEQ NIGHT DBA LEQ MEANS YOU KNOW, THE SOUND LEVELS ALWAYS VARY.

THEY RUN UP AND DOWN.

AND BUT IF YOU TAKE A LONG TERM AVERAGE OF IT, SO TO SPEAK, THE CONTINUOUS ONGOING EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF A PERIOD.

SO IF YOU MEASURE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO HOURS, THE CONTINUOUS EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF THAT TWO HOUR PERIOD IS CALLED LEQ.

SO THIS IS SOME OF THE ALPHABET SOUP.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE BACKGROUND NOISE LEVEL.

WE WENT OUT TO KING'S UNIVERSITY AND MEASURED ALONG THE SOUTH FENCE AND ALSO PARTWAY UP IN THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SEE IF WE COULD PICK UP SOME NOISE FROM SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND FROM 114 THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER IT WAS DURING THE WEEK OF JULY 4TH.

SO THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHTER THAN USUAL, BUT ALSO THE INSECTS WERE SINGING LIKE CRAZY AND CICADAS, CRICKETS.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL KIND OF BUGS AND CRITTERS THEY GOT OUT THERE, BUT IT WAS THAT WAS THE DOMINANT NOISE.

FORTUNATELY, THAT NOISE IS VERY IDENTIFIABLE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SPECTRUM OF LOW TONES TO HIGH TONES.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THAT AND REMOVE IT AND KIND OF DO A LINEAR REGRESSION OF THE CURVE TO SEE WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKELY, WHAT'S THE BEST CASE OR THE LOWEST IT COULD POSSIBLY BE WITHOUT THE INSECTS.

AND IT WAS ABOUT 40 DBA.

SO 40 DBA IN MY OPINION, IS A UNREALISTICALLY LOW ESTIMATE, BUT IT'S KIND OF WORST CASE.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE WOULD HOPE THAT TRUCK NOISE AND DELIVERIES AND ALL THE WHATEVER ACTIVITY THERE IS AFTER 10 P.M.

IS NOT AT 40 OR ABOVE 40, CERTAINLY, BECAUSE THEN THAT COULD IMPACT THE ENVIRONMENT.

THE COMMUNITY NOISE IMPACT IS USUALLY LARGELY DETERMINED BY HOW MUCH ARE YOU CHANGING MY NOISE ENVIRONMENT.

ANOTHER LITTLE TIDBIT IS IF YOU HAVE TWO SOUND LEVELS THAT ARE THE SAME, LEVEL TWO AT 40, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY DON'T ADD UP TO BE 80.

THEY ADD UP TO BE 43 EACH TIME YOU ADD TWO SOUND LEVELS OVER THE SAME LEVEL, YOU GET THREE DECIBELS INCREASE AND IT TAKES ABOUT A TEN DECIBEL INCREASE TO SOUND TWICE AS LOUD. YOU REALLY CAN'T EVEN HARDLY HEAR A DIFFERENCE OF THREE.

THAT WOULD BE JUST NOTICEABLE.

MAYBE SO IF THE SOUND BACKGROUND LEVEL WAS IN FACT 40 WITHOUT THE INSECTS, WE WOULD HOPE THAT THE NOISE MADE BY TRUCK DELIVERIES IS NOT ANY MORE THAN

[01:35:03]

I WON'T HAVE TIME TO DEFINE IT, SO I'LL JUST SAY THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED LDN.

DAY NIGHT AVERAGE LEVEL NOISE CONTOURS AROUND ALL MAJOR AIRPORTS IN DFW.

THE HOMES THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE ON THE WEST SIDE AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT, ON THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THAT DRAWING, THOSE HOMES ARE IN THE LDN RIGHT AT THE LDN 65 NOISE CONTOUR.

NOW, THAT'S AN AVERAGE OF DAY NIGHT LEVELS FROM AIRCRAFT FLYOVERS PLUS A PENALTY OF TEN DECIBELS ON THE NIGHTTIME.

SO IT'S NOT THE SAME AS WHAT YOU'D MEASURE WITH A SOUND LEVEL METER.

BUT LET'S SAY IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT TO BE AT 65, YOU MIGHT MEASURE 55 ALL DAY LONG.

55 MIGHT BE THE HIGH END OF WHAT WE HAVE.

TRAFFIC NOISE FROM 114.

OUR PREDICTION IS THAT THAT SHOULD BE 53DB PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TIME WHEN IT'S RUNNING.

SO IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT THE BACKGROUND NOISE IS PROBABLY MORE LIKE 50 AND 50 TO 53 IS PROBABLY THE NORMAL LONG TERM, YOU KNOW, ANNUALIZED BACKGROUND NOISE LEVEL. BUT EVEN IF WE GO AT 40, WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE TRUCK NOISE? AS PHILIP SAID, WE MEASURED ABOUT AN HOUR AND 15 MINUTES FROM THE TIME THE TRUCK PULLED UP UNTIL IT PULLED INTO THE TRUCK DOCK OVER AT THE COLONY FLOOR & DECOR STORE, ALL THE ACTIVITIES, YOU KNOW, STOPPING THE AIR BRAKES, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, OPENING THE OVERHEAD DOORS, THE FORKLIFT RUNNING IN AND OUT, PICKING THINGS UP, DROPPING THEM OFF.

AND THAT ENTIRE DURATION OF ACTIVITIES WHEN ADJUSTED FOR DISTANCE IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE. SO ON THE LEFT SIDE, YOU MAY NOTICE THAT THE THERE'S ONE HOUSE AT THE NORTH SIDE JUST AT THE CURVE ON THE WEST SIDE THERE WHERE IT SAYS 31, THAT'S 31 DBA WITH IF YOU WERE IF YOU WERE TO TAKE WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE COLONY AND MOVE IT TO THIS LOCATION, THAT'S WHAT YOU'D BE GETTING AT THAT HOUSE ONLY 31.

AND DOWN ON THE SOUTH END, THE HIGHEST LEVEL IS 28.

SO WE'RE NOWHERE NEAR THE 40, WHICH WOULD BE THE WORST CASE SOUND LEVEL.

WE DID A FEW OTHER THINGS.

WE SAID, WHAT IF YOU SORT OF WANT TO LOOK AT A WORST CASE SCENARIO? SO ALL THE SPIKES THAT OCCUR WHEN A FORKLIFT MAKES A NOISE OR DROPS AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S SORT OF YOU CAN SEE THIS, THIS, THIS TIME CHART WHERE THERE'S A SPIKE AND THEN IT COMES BACK AND IT REPEATS THE ACTIVITY AND THERE'S A SPIKE.

WE TOOK OUT ALL THE SPACE BETWEEN THE SPIKES AND WE TOOK THE LOUDEST THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING FOR THE ENTIRE HOUR AND 15 MINUTES.

AND WE SAID IF THAT WAS A CONTINUUM RUNNING WITH NO SPACES IN BETWEEN, HOW LOUD WOULD THAT BE? WE DON'T HAVE THE CHART HERE TO SHOW YOU, BUT IT ONLY RAISED THE OVERALL LEVEL OF THE HOMES BY THREE DECIBELS BECAUSE AT THE COLONY THEY PULLED OUT OF THE THERE WAS A RAMP THERE.

AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A RAMP HERE FOR THE TRUCK DOCK.

BUT THERE WAS ONE IN THE COLONY, SO THEY PULLED UP A RAMP, WHICH, YOU KNOW, THE GEARING UP, I MEAN, THE ACCELERATING UP A RAMP WHERE THE TRUCK GETS A LITTLE BIT LOUDER THAN USUAL. THEN THEY STOPPED AND THEY RELIEVED THE PRESSURE FROM THE AIR BRAKES, WHICH WAS A LOUD EVENT.

AND THEN WHEN THEY STARTED AGAIN, THERE WAS ANOTHER AIR BRAKE THING AND THEY TOOK OFF.

WE TOOK JUST THAT NOISE, THE ENTRY OF THE TRUCK, AND UNTIL IT WAS TURNED OFF AND THE EXIT OF THE TRUCK AND ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED AS AN ABSOLUTE WORST CASE.

AND WE MODELED THAT AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE THE THING.

BUT IT WAS IT WAS IT WAS THREE DECIBELS LOUDER AT ONE HOME.

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EVEN 5 OR 6DB LOUDER.

BUT GOING FROM, SAY, 31 OR 28 PLUS 5 OR 6DB GIVES YOU 36, 37.

SO MAYBE ON THE LOW END, 28 PLUS, THAT'S 33, 34.

WE'RE NOWHERE NEAR 40 AND WE'RE CERTAINLY NOWHERE NEAR 50.

AND MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION, AND I'LL CLOSE WITH THIS, THE TRUCK MOVEMENTS.

STOPPING STARTING ALL THE UNLOADING ACTIVITIES FOR THE FULL DURATION, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, SOMETIME AFTER 10:00 UNTIL WHO KNOWS WHAT TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MORNING WILL NOT HAVE ANY MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE AT THE RESIDENCE ON THE WEST SIDE AND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THAT'LL BE ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

OKAY. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, SIR. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ONE THING TO ADD TO DAVID'S PRESENTATION, THE WAYS WE'RE WORKING TO MINIMIZE THE NOISE LEAVING OUR SITE IS AS A LOADING DOCK.

WE'RE PROPOSING A TEN FOOT WALL THAT WILL SHIELD THE TRUCK FROM ANY VIEW.

AND THEN, AS TORI POINTED OUT AT THE BACK PROPERTY LINE, THERE'LL BE AN EIGHT FOOT MASONRY WALL, BOTH INSTALLED TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF THE SOUND.

YOU'VE SEEN THESE AS DENNIS SHARED THE BUILDING RENDERINGS AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A COUPLE OF OTHER ITEMS IF I COULD.

[01:40:02]

OUR ARCHITECT WILL MEET THE MASONRY REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

OUR SITE DESIGN HAS BEEN UPDATED TO ADDRESS MANY OF THE CONCERNS FROM THE COMMUNITY FROM THE MEETING.

SPECIFICALLY, WE'VE REDUCED OUR SITE ACCESS POINTS FROM 3 TO 2, BOTH OF WHICH UTILIZE THE EXISTING DRIVE IN THE COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER.

THE CUSTOMER PICKUP HAS BEEN LOCATED AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SOUTHERN EASTERN PROPERTY LINE TO KEEP CUSTOMER TRAFFIC AWAY FROM SOUTH VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

WE'VE INCREASED BUFFERING ALONG OUR SHARED PROPERTY LINE WITH KING'S UNIVERSITY AND THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE, AS I DISCUSSED EARLIER.

WE'RE PROPOSING TO INSTALL AN EIGHT FOOT MASONRY WALL TO ASSIST WITH NOISE BUFFERING AND TO MINIMIZE THE VIEW OF THE STORE FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST PROPERTIES.

THE LOADING AS I DISCUSSED A MOMENT AGO, THE LOADING AREA FOR THE STOCK ROOM WILL BE SHIELDED FROM SURROUNDING PROPERTIES BY A TEN FOOT WALL, MINIMIZING ANY VIEWS OF THE DELIVERY TRUCK. AS SHOWN EARLIER, DELIVERY TRUCKS WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO UTILIZE THE INGRESS EGRESS POINTS ON SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND TO FOLLOW THE DRIVE AISLE AROUND THE BUILDING TO THE LOADING AREA AND UTILIZE THE SOUTHERN DRIVEWAY TO EXIT THE SITE NORTH.

EVEN THOUGH STORE HOURS.

I'M SORRY. EVEN EVEN THOUGH STORE DELIVERIES WILL NOT CONFLICT WITH SCHOOL HOURS.

WE WILL INSTRUCT TRUCK TRAFFIC TO UTILIZE THE AXIS ON SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

DELIVERIES OCCUR POST RETAIL HOURS.

ANOTHER ITEM I'D LIKE TO BRIEFLY DISCUSS IS THE INVESTMENT WE'RE PROPOSING TO MAKE INTO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

THE CURRENT ASSESSMENT OF THE LAND IS ROUGHLY THE CURRENT ASSESSMENT OF THE LAND IS $575,000, WITH SOUTHLAKE RECEIVING $1,863 OF PROPERTY TAX, AND THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT RECEIVING ROUGHLY $61,308.

WE'RE PROPOSING TO MAKE A $20 MILLION INVESTMENT IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, WHICH WILL RETURN ROUGHLY $72,000 OF PROPERTY TAX AND ROUGHLY $243,000 IN TAXES TO THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME AND DISCUSS SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE DISCUSSED AT P&Z.

ONE OF THE COMMENTS WAS THAT WE WERE A WHOLESALER, NOW A RETAILER.

WE ARE A RETAIL STORE.

WE PROPOSE TO COMPLEMENT THE SURROUNDING BUSINESSES.

AS I DISCUSSED EARLIER, OUR STORE HOURS ARE 7 TO 7 AND PRODUCT DELIVERY WILL BE AFTER 10:00 PM.

THERE WAS MANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT OTHER REAL ESTATE IN THE AREA.

TWO IN PARTICULAR, THE BED, BATH AND BEYOND, WHICH WAS RECENTLY CLOSED DUE TO BANKRUPTCY.

WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT, THAT THAT BUILDING IS ACTUALLY TOO SMALL FOR WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

AND THE PROPERTY IS DEED RESTRICTED.

SAME ISSUE WITH THE BYE BYE BABY.

THE BUILDING IS TOO SMALL.

A THIRD BUILDING WE WERE ASKED TO LOOK AT WAS THE SAM'S IN GRAPEVINE.

CALLS TO WALMART AND SAM'S CORPORATION SHOWED THAT THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY OFF MARKET.

LIKE TO DISCUSS TRAFFIC WITH YOU AS WELL.

DUE TO OUR UNIQUE USE FLOOR & DECOR COMMISSIONED A NATIONAL TRAFFIC STUDY, AS I DISCUSSED EARLIER, WE INCLUDED SITES FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

LIKE TO NOTE THAT ON AVERAGE, 9:30 A.M.

IS THE WEEKDAY PEAK.

THE WEEKDAY PM PEAK IS AROUND 4:30.

WEEKEND PEAK TIMES OCCUR AROUND 1:00.

AND AS I DISCUSSED EARLIER, FOR COMPARISON, FLOOR & DECOR AVERAGES A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER WEEKDAY TRIP THAN OTHER BIG BOX RETAILERS.

WE ARE FOCUSED ON PROJECTS, NOT PRODUCTS.

REGARDING VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE MULTIPLE CONCERNS WERE BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION REGARDING DELIVERIES AND THEIR IMPACT ON EAST SOUTHLAKE EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

WE BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THE CONCERNS WILL BE ADDRESSED BY FOLLOWING OUR STORE OPERATIONS OF HAVING DELIVERIES POST RETAIL HOURS.

I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT SEVERAL CITIZENS AT OUR PUBLIC MEETING BROUGHT UP TO US THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT EXTENDING VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

AT THIS TIME, WE WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE THE RIGHT OF WAY TO THE CITY, BUT WE'RE NOT PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT THE ROAD EXTENSION.

THIS WILL ALLOW US TO ADDRESS THE NEIGHBORS CONCERNS OF EXTENDING VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE AND MINIMIZE FURTHER TRAFFIC ADJACENT TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

[01:45:11]

OUR DELIVERY HOURS DO NOT CONFLICT WITH SCHOOL HOURS.

OUR PEAK TIMES ON SITE DO NOT CONFLICT WITH DROP OFF AND PICK UP TIMES AT THE SCHOOL.

ADDITIONALLY, STORE STAFF ARE TRAINED TO MONITOR THE SITE AND SECURITY CAMERAS AND WILL REPORT ANY UNSUPERVISED CHILDREN TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE.

THAT WE'VE LOCATED MANY FEATURES THAT COULD IMPACT THE SCHOOL, SUCH AS STORMWATER DETENTION AND OUR CUSTOMER PICK UP AREA AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL AS POSSIBLE.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT WE PERSONALLY RECEIVED SOME EMAILS FROM THE LOCAL CITIZENS REFERENCING A GOOGLE EARTH PHOTO OF ONE OF OUR LOCATIONS IN GLENDALE, ARIZONA. WE'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH, AND THIS PHOTO SHOWS A WATER STAIN ON THE CONCRETE.

WE'VE REACHED OUT TO OUR FACILITIES GROUP AND THIS WAS FROM A TEST OF THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM DURING THE TENANT IMPROVEMENT.

FLOOR & DECOR CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE ANY VIOLATIONS WITH ARIZONA DEP FOR STORMWATER, NOR DO WE HAVE ANY WITH THE CITY OF GLENDALE.

OUR LOCAL TEAM HAS A POLICY IN PLACE TO ADDRESS ANY SPILLS ON SITE, AND THEY REPORTED DIRECTLY TO THE STORE SUPPORT CENTER IN ATLANTA.

ADDITIONALLY, STORMWATER ON SITE WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE'S REGULATIONS, BUT ALSO TEXAS [INAUDIBLE] NPDS.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO DISCUSS THERE ARE SOME PHOTOS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION.

THOSE PHOTOS INCLUDED PHOTOS OF OUR NORTH RICHLAND HILLS STORE, OUR DENTON STORE, AND ONE IN, I BELIEVE, FORT MYERS, FLORIDA.

AFTER THE PLANNING COMMISSION, I TOOK THE TIME TO DO OPEN RECORDS REQUEST.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED YET VIA MAIL, BUT PER PHONE CALLS WITH NORTH RICHLAND HILLS.

WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY VIOLATIONS ON OUR SITE.

OUR DENTON STORE. WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY CODE VIOLATIONS.

THERE IS ONE OF AN ABANDONED TRUCK ON SITE WITH STORE STAFF IS CURRENTLY WORKING WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT OF DENTON TO REMOVE THE TRUCK FROM THE FACILITY.

AND FINALLY, THERE WERE PICTURES OF FORT MYERS, FLORIDA, STORE AND CHECKING THEIR CODE ENFORCEMENT WEBSITE.

THERE ARE NO VIOLATIONS.

AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE FORT MYERS STORE HAS ENDURED TWO HURRICANES, IAN, DURING THE MONTH OF JULY AND IDA IN AUGUST. WE'RE HERE TONIGHT.

TO JOIN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

WE'D LIKE TO BE GOOD CORPORATE CITIZENS.

AND WE HAVE STRIVED TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF NOT ONLY YOUR STAFF, BUT YOUR CITIZENS.

WE BELIEVE THAT THIS NEW STORE WILL BE A BENEFIT TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

WE'LL BE BRINGING IN A COMPLEMENTARY AND TRANSITIONAL LAND USE THAT WILL ADD STABLE AND SIGNIFICANT REVENUE TO THE LOCAL TAX BASE.

MY TEAM AND I ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE AND RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU APPROVE OUR APPLICATION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME? YES, MAYOR, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION ON YOUR DELIVERIES.

IS IT SAFE TO ASSUME THOSE ARE GENERALLY 18 WHEELERS? THAT IS CORRECT. THEY ARE.

OKAY. ON AN AVERAGE WEEK FOR A STORE LIKE THIS, WHAT WOULD YOU ANTICIPATE THE NUMBER OF DELIVERIES TO BE? GOOD QUESTION.

THEY DO OCCUR POST RETAIL HOURS AND I BELIEVE MOST DELIVERIES ARE AROUND TWO A WEEK.

TWO TOTAL FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK.

THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING.

YES, SIR. OKAY.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

THANK YOU, SIR. WE MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, SO.

BUT YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT FOR NOW.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. ABSOLUTELY.

OKAY, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

THIS IS NOT TECHNICALLY A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF YOU IN THE AUDIENCE WHO HAVE COME WILLING TO SPEAK.

AND I WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS THAT OPPORTUNITY.

SO I'M GOING TO OPEN UP A PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION FOR THIS.

HERE'S HOW WE DO IT HERE.

WE GET THREE MINUTES FOR EVERYONE.

WHEN YOU COME UP, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

THAT GREEN LIGHT ON THE PODIUM WILL GO ON.

WHEN YOU START YELLOW LIGHT STARTS FLASHING WITH ONE MINUTE LEFT AND WHEN THE RED LIGHT GOES ON, THAT'S WHEN WE'LL WE'LL SHIFT OVER TO THE NEXT SPEAKER.

THERE ARE A LOT OF SPEAKERS WILLING TO SPEAK AND WISHING TO SPEAK, SO I'M GOING TO ENFORCE THE THREE MINUTES PRETTY STRICTLY.

SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS INSIDE THAT TIME PERIOD, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

I WOULD ALSO REQUEST THAT YOU CONFINE YOUR COMMENTS DIRECTED TOWARDS US, TOWARDS ME AND COUNCIL, NOT TOWARDS THE APPLICANT, NOT TOWARDS STAFF, AND BE AS RESPECTFUL AS POSSIBLE

[01:50:06]

WE WANT TO GET THROUGH THIS IN A ORGANIZED FASHION.

SO I'VE GOT A NUMBER OF COMMENT CARDS HERE READY TO GO.

I'M GOING TO START READING THROUGH THESE AND ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH THEM, I'LL INVITE ANYBODY ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK THAT DIDN'T FILL OUT A CARD.

SO I'LL START WITH DENNIS MENDER FROM 223 EASTWOOD DRIVE.

MR. MENDER, COME ON DOWN.

ONCE AGAIN, WHEN YOU START, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL.

DENNIS MENDER 223 EASTWOOD DRIVE SOUTHLAKE BEEN HERE 42 YEARS AND PROUD OF IT.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M DOWN HERE SPEAKING AGAINST THIS PROJECT.

I FEEL IT DOESN'T MEET THE FIT, THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING AREA.

THERE'S NO TRANSITION REALLY BETWEEN A BIG BOX AND A SCHOOLS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTHWEST THAT TOUCHES OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND JUST FOR FYI, WE QUERIED THEM ON THE DRIVER'S SITUATION.

THEY NOT EMPLOYED BY FLOOR & DECOR THERE.

SO THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR RULES.

YOU CAN SEE ALL THE VIOLATIONS OVER HERE AT THE GROCERY STORE.

THEY JUST COME AND GO WHENEVER THEY WANT.

THEY GET THEIR TICKETS AND THEY KEEP ON GOING.

SO THEY'RE NOT CONTROLLED BY FLOORS & MORE ANYMORE AT ALL.

THEY'RE JUST INDEPENDENT DRIVERS MAKING DELIVERIES.

AS FAR AS ELEVATIONS, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ELEVATIONS ON THIS THING THAT'S PARTICULAR FANCY TO SOUTHLAKE.

IT'S A BIG BOX STORE 20 TO 40FT.

HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THAT ON THEIR PICTURES AT ALL.

IT'S JUST A BIG BOX AND NOT VERY INVITING TO OUR DECOR HERE IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

THERE'S THIS AREA SHOULD BE REALLY A TRANSITIONAL DEAL BETWEEN THE SCHOOLS AND THAT.

AND IF YOU'VE BEEN ON THERE ON A SCHOOL DAY, IT'S TERRIBLY CONGESTED.

WE HAVE KIDS THAT COME DOWN THERE AND THEY EAT IN THOSE VARIOUS SHOPS THERE ALONG 1709.

PLUS THEY GO TO THE CHICKEN PLACE THERE ON THE HILL AND INCREASE TRAFFIC.

THE AVERAGE PICKUP TRUCK WITH A TRAILER ON IT IS OVER 30FT LONG.

BY THE TIME YOU FIGURE A 20 FOOT TRUCK IN A 16 TO 20 FOOT TRAILER, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED GETTING ACROSS 1709 AND MAKE A TURN OUT THERE WITH A CAR? WELL, TRY TO DO THAT WITH A PICKUP AND A TRAILER.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST HAZARDOUS INTERSECTIONS IN SOUTHLAKE AND IT'S NOT CONDUCIVE TO THE SAFETY OF NEIGHBORHOOD, TO THE SHOPPERS THERE, TO THE KIDS THAT RIDE THEIR BIKES TO SCHOOL OR WALK TO SCHOOL.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD USE OF THAT SPACE BACK THERE.

LET'S SEE. IF YOU LOOK AT TURNING RADIUS OF TRACTOR TRAILERS, IF THEY TURN OFF 1709 GOING EASTBOUND AND TRAVEL UP THAT SIDE STREET, THEY'RE GOING TO COME WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TURNING LANE THAT'S PROPOSED THERE.

I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT 24FT, 12 FOOT LANES AND TURNING RADIUS ON 18 WHEELERS ABOUT 29FT.

SO HE'S GOING TO BE WAY OFF THE INTO THE EXIT EXIT LANE FOR THAT FOR THOSE PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THERE.

WELL, LET'S SEE. I GOT MAYBE 1 OR 2 OTHER THINGS HERE.

WE'RE KIND OF BIG IN ARTICULATION HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ARTICULATION THAT IS GOING TO MAKE THIS A MORE APPEALING BUILDING EXCEPT A STRAIGHT LINE ACROSS THE HORIZON. SO I IMPLORE ON YOU TO MAKE THESE GUYS GO BACK AND DO SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC WITH THEIR BOX SITUATION.

BUT AND OVERALL, I'M DEFINITELY OPPOSED TO IT FOR SAFETY REASONS.

THE WRONG PLACE IN TOWN FOR IT.

WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY? I'VE BEEN IN THREE MEETINGS ALREADY AND I'VE KIND OF SAID MY PIECE, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT SPEAKER IS CARL SLEDS.

WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM? MR. SLEDS. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CARL SLEDS.

I RESIDE AT 220 EASTWOOD DRIVE HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE QUICK OBSERVATIONS.

I WISH WE COULD PUT UP THE SECOND TO THE LAST SLIDE OF THE SITE PLAT AND THE PROPOSED ENTRY GO BACK TO THE NO, GO FORWARD.

ONE MORE TO WHERE IT WAS SHOWING THE ENTRY OFF OF SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

IT WAS THE FIRST ONE THAT WILL WORK.

OKAY, HERE WE'VE GOT THIS PROPOSED ENTRY OFF OF SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD WITH CONSIDERED A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK 40 FOOT SEMI TRAILERS, THAT SPACE BETWEEN SNAPPY SALADS AND BJ'S BREWERY.

[01:55:02]

IT'S 45FT.

TWO OF THOSE LANES ARE DEDICATED TO OUTBOUND TRAFFIC.

IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SEMI TO MAKE A LEGAL TURN.

IF HE'S GOING EASTBOUND HE'S GOT TO ENCROACH ON AT LEAST ONE LANE.

HE'S GOT TO BE TURNING OUT OF THE MIDDLE LANE AND STILL HE'S GOING TO DESTROY THE SIDEWALK.

AND THE GRASSY AREA THERE.

IF HE'S COMING WESTBOUND, I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED GOING DOWN SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND HAVING SOMEBODY TRY TO MAKE THAT TURN INTO THAT SHOPPING AREA WHILE HEADED WESTBOUND.

IT'S A NEAR IMPOSSIBILITY AND IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE RISKIER AREAS IN OUR CITY.

EVEN STAYING OFF VILLAGE CENTER DRIVEWAY, WHICH TO ME IS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE UNENFORCEABLE.

THESE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE CONTRACTORS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE RETAIL CUSTOMERS THAT ARE JUST NATURALLY GOING TO MIGRATE TO WHATEVER THEIR FIRST ENTRY IS. BUT THAT'S JUST A DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS SET UP TO EXPOSE OUR SCHOOLCHILDREN TO THAT.

THE OTHER ENTRY OFF OF KIMBLE AGAIN.

IF YOU'RE GOING NORTHBOUND ON KIMBLE, YOU HAVE TO COME ACROSS THAT TRAFFIC.

AND WE ALREADY HAVE A PROBLEM THERE WITH CHICK FIL A AND THE DAYCARE CENTER.

THERE'S ALREADY A TRAFFIC PROBLEM THERE.

PLUS, THE SLOPE INTO THE PROPERTY IS AT ABOUT A 25 DEGREE ANGLE AND THEN IT ABRUPTLY ENDS INTO PARKING SPACES.

SO THERE'S NO WAY FOR ANYBODY TO JUST GO STRAIGHT IN.

SO IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING BOX TRUCKS.

TRUCKS WITH TRAILERS, ANYTHING THAT WOULD COMMERCIALLY BE GOING INTO THIS AREA.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

THERE ISN'T A LEGAL WAY.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. APPRECIATE IT.

SORRY. WE GOTTA KEEP MOVING. YES, SIR.

NEXT SPEAKER, WE HAVE BETSY WILLIFORD, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM.

HELLO, MY NAME IS BETSY WILLIFORD.

I LIVE AT 225 EASTWOOD DRIVE.

AND MY DAUGHTER TAYA WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING, TOO SHE'S BEEN SO PATIENT.

AND IT'S PAST BEDTIME.

VERY WELL BEHAVED.

VERY IMPRESSIVE.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU WANTED TO SAY? I DON'T WANT THE FLOOR & DECOR BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MY BROTHER TO GET RAN OVER.

I WANTED TO MAKE A COUPLE POINTS FROM THE LAST MEETING AND AND THEN WHAT WAS BROUGHT UP THIS EVENING? THERE WAS A MEETING HELD AT THE MARQ FOR OUR NEIGHBORS, AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS HELD ON A NIGHT WHERE MOST OF US WERE AT EITHER DAWSON OR EUBANKS FOR CURRICULUM NIGHT.

AND SO WE WEREN'T GOING TO CHOOSE TO ABANDON THAT WHEN WE'RE HERE FOR ALL OF OUR DRAGONS.

ANOTHER POINT THAT STOOD OUT TO ME THAT IS PRETTY CONCERNING.

I BELIEVE SOMEONE MENTIONED IT FLOOR & DECOR DOESN'T HAVE THEIR OWN DRIVER.

SO THOUGH THEY MAY SAY THAT DELIVERIES WON'T BE UNTIL AFTER A CERTAIN TIME, HOW CAN THEY PROMISE THAT WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR OWN TRUCKING COMPANY AND THEY'RE SUBCONTRACTING THAT OUT? I'M FINE WITH CONTRACTORS BEING OVER AT HOME DEPOT AND LOWE'S COMING IN AND OUT OF THOSE FACILITIES.

BUT WHEN I HAVE, YOU KNOW, LITTLE, LITTLE KIDS WALKING BY AND AS THEY GET OLDER, GOING TO TORCHY'S AND CONTRACTORS MAY BE GOING OUT TO THEIR TRUCKS AND TRAILERS, I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST I'M NOT A FAN OF THAT BEING SO CLOSE TO OUR SCHOOL CAMPUSES.

SO I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER THESE CONCERNS.

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

NEXT, WE HAVE CAM BRYAN, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM.

MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, MS. YELVERTON, GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS CAM BRYAN.

I'M A 20 YEAR RESIDENT OF SOUTHLAKE 970 OMB LANE.

I ALSO CURRENTLY SERVE AS YOUR SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT.

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

[02:00:04]

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 THAT 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.

IN ADDITION, WE ALSO RENT THESE 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 TO JUST NAME A FEW. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AND FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU, SIR. NEXT SPEAKER, WE HAVE PATTY MENDER, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM.

MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL PATTY MENDER, 223 EASTWOOD DRIVE SOUTHLAKE 40 YEAR RESIDENT.

AND I AM THE ONE WHO TOOK ALL THE PICTURES YOU HAVE THEM IN FRONT OF YOU.

AND I TOOK THEM ON THREE OCCASIONS AT FORT MYERS, AT THE FLOORS AND MORE IN APRIL, MAY AND AUGUST.

AND I HAVE SOME MORE TO SHOW YOU.

MS. MENDER WHY DON'T YOU PUT THOSE ON THE PROJECTOR SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE THEM.

DOES THAT THING STILL WORK, DENNIS? THEY'RE THE ONES I HAVE HERE ARE FROM THE FORT MYERS STORE IN FLORIDA, AND THE OTHER ONES ARE NORTH RICHLAND HILLS.

AND WHEN THIS GENTLEMAN SAID THEY HAVE NO VIOLATIONS, I BEG TO DIFFER WITH THEM.

WE'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS BEHIND LOWE'S OR HOME DEPOT.

AND I TOOK THESE PERSONALLY OVER THE OVER FOUR MONTHS.

AND I BELIEVE I LEFT SOME WITH MY HUSBAND LEFT SOME WITH YOUR CITY SECRETARY ALSO.

YES, MA'AM. I BELIEVE MOST OF THE THINGS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED THAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE NOISE.

DFW WE CAN HEAR THE ENGINES RUN UP AT NIGHT.

JUST ABOUT BRINGS YOU OUT OF OUR BED BECAUSE WE HAVE A VALLEY THAT GOES BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND US.

AND AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING, WE DO HEAR THE KIDS PRACTICING FOOTBALL AND WE ALSO HEAR THE 114 TRAFFIC.

SO THE TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP IS NOT EXACTLY CORRECT BECAUSE WE ARE IN A VALLEY BACK THERE AND WE LIVE ON JUST A LITTLE OVER THREE AND A HALF ACRES.

I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE MASTER PLAN, WE ALWAYS WANTED A TRANSITION BETWEEN THE SCHOOLS AND RETAIL.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ALL WANTED TO HAVE OFFICE BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS HERE.

AND I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE OFFICE BUILDINGS BACK THERE.

I JUST BELIEVE THIS IS THIS BUILDING IS JUST A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN WHAT WE WOULD LIKE NEXT TO OUR SCHOOLS.

AND WE HAVE CHILDREN RIDING THEIR BIKES AND WALKING TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY.

AND THEY GO TO CHICK FIL A TO MEET THEIR PARENTS AND SOCIALIZE WITH THEIR FRIENDS AFTER SCHOOL.

AND I BELIEVE EVERYBODY HAS JUST ABOUT ADDRESSED EVERYTHING.

I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT 18 WHEELERS AND IT'D BE A PERFECT PLACE FOR THE CITY TO BUY AND PUT A PARK THERE FOR THE KIDS WHILE THEIR PARENTS ARE AT GAMES AND STUFF.

BUT I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST FLOORS AND DECOR.

IT'S JUST THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT PLACE.

AND THERE'S A VERY NICE SPOT OVER ON 114 NEXT TO THE SHELL STATION THAT I THINK WOULD BE FANTASTIC FOR THEM TO PUT THEIR BUILDING AND I WOULD BE GLAD TO COME SHOP THERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS LINDSAY KASTNER, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM.

IS LINDSAY STILL HERE? OKAY. NEXT, WE HAVE KATIE CARPENTER, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM.

KATE, ARE YOU STILL HERE? NO.

BUT BEFORE I DO, LET ME ASK, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE CROWD THAT WANTS TO ACTUALLY SPEAK LIVE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO BEFORE I OFFICIALLY CLOSE THAT DOWN, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND READ THESE RESPONSE CARDS.

ANYBODY ELSE WANTING TO SPEAK OR ENTER IN A COMMENT CARD.

OKAY. SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION.

COUNCIL ANY DISCUSSION AT THIS TIME? WELL, IF THERE'S NO DISCUSSION, I'LL JUST SAY THAT I CAN'T SUPPORT THE APPLICATION AS PRESENTED.

AND I WILL TAKE A MOTION TO DENY.

YES, MAYOR? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR CITY ATTORNEY.

CAN YOU GO TO THE ISSUE THAT WE HAD EARLIER TODAY OR TONIGHT ON THE CARRILLON PROJECT WHERE WE DENIED THAT APPLICATION ON FIRST READING AND THEN IT WAS BACK ON OUR AGENDA FOR A SECOND READING? HOW WOULD THAT APPLY HERE? JUST EXPLAIN THAT PROCESS UNDER STATE LAW.

THE SAME ISSUES WOULD GENERALLY ARISE IN THIS INSTANCE.

BUT REMEMBER, THIS IS A TWO STEP PROCESS ON THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION.

THE FIRST ITEM YOU WILL BE CONSIDERING IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE PLAN THAT WOULD THEN ALLOW THE ZONING APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED AS POSSIBLY COMPLIANT WITH THE PLAN.

IF YOU DENY THE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT, THEN THAT PRETTY WELL IS A DEATH KNEEL FOR THE ZONING CASE THAT FOLLOWS BECAUSE WE ARE REQUIRED UNDER CHAPTER 211 TO ZONE CONSISTENTLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE COMMUNITY'S MASTER PLAN ABSENT SOME CLEAR REASON TO VARY.

BUT WE WOULD GO FORWARD WITH ACTION ON THE PLAN AMENDMENT.

THEN WE WOULD GO FORWARD WITH THE ACTION ON THE ZONING CASE.

IF THE ZONING CASE IS DENIED, THE APPLICANT CAN SEEK TO WITHDRAW THE APPLICATION.

IF THAT'S DONE, BEFORE WE GET THE PUBLISHED NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING, THEN THE ITEM DOES NOT HAVE TO GO ON THE AGENDA.

IF WE GET A PUBLICATION OF NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING GOING FORWARD, THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO FORWARD AND HOLD A HEARING ON THAT APPLICATION, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN DENIED ON FIRST READING.

NOW, I BELIEVE IF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AS I UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL PRESENTED TONIGHT, HAS A WRITTEN OBJECTION TO THE ZONING AND THEY OWN

[02:10:10]

BUT THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE TO THE MASTER PLAN CHANGE.

MAKES SENSE. OKAY.

I'LL TAKE A MOTION ON 7A.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY ITEM 7A ORDINANCE NUMBER 1269 A CASE NUMBER CP23-0001 FIRST READING AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE CONSOLIDATED FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, AN ELEMENT OF THE SOUTHLAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR FLOOR & DECOR AT 2185 EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD IN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

AGAIN, THIS IS A MOTION TO DENY.

THIS MOTION TO DENY. SO A YES VOTE IS TO DENY.

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

OKAY. ITEM 7A IS DENIED SIX ZERO.

I'LL TAKE A MOTION ON ITEM 7B.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY ITEM 7B ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-806 CASE NUMBER ZA23-0042.

FIRST READING ZONING CHANGE IN SITE PLAN FOR FLOOR & DECOR LOCATED AT 2185 EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS A MOTION TO DENY IT'S A MOTION TO DENY IS A VOTE FOR YES IS A VOTE TO DENY.

HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND.

SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. ITEM 7B IS DENIED SIX ZERO.

AND THAT IS IT FOR TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

SO THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
