ALL RIGHT.

[1. Call to order]

ACTUALLY, TECHNICALLY, THAT CLOCK IS JUST A LITTLE BIT SLOW.

AND WE'LL CALL TODAY'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO ORDER FOR OCTOBER 23RD, 2023.

WELCOME, EVERYONE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO START TONIGHT, AS WE ALWAYS START WITH AN INVOCATION FROM OUR CITY CHAPLAIN, PASTOR READ, FOLLOWED BY THE PLEDGES.

SO YOU GUYS, PLEASE RISE WITH ME.

LET'S PRAY. DEAR LORD, WE GIVE THANKS FOR THIS EVENING AND WE GIVE THANKS FOR THIS CITY.

AND WE GIVE THANKS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE IT OR THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE ON STAFF AND THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE ON VOLUNTEER BOARDS THAT GIVE TIME AND ENERGY.

AND WE JUST PRAY BLESSING ON THEM.

WE ALSO GIVE THANKS FOR OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM IN SOUTHLAKE.

PEOPLE WHO SERVE OUR CITIZENS AND ANSWER THE PHONE AND AND REALLY WORK BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

WE PRAY BLESSING ON THAT ENTIRE TEAM AS WE THINK ABOUT THEM TONIGHT.

WE PRAY FOR MELODY AS SHE LEADS THAT TEAM.

WE JUST PRAY THAT SHE WOULD GIVE HER PEACE AND STRENGTH AS SHE LEADS.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN OUR CITY.

THANK YOU THAT IT'S A SAFE PLACE TO BE.

AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD CONTINUE TO HELP THOSE WHO PROTECT US.

AND WE PRAY THAT TONIGHT, AS THEY WORK ON THE STREET OR IN A FIREHOUSE, THAT YOU MIGHT HELP THEM AND GIVE THEM PEACE AND STRENGTH.

IN JESUS NAME, WE PRAY.

AMEN. AMEN.

THANK YOU. LET'S JOIN US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

SO TAKE YOUR SEAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, PASTOR REED.

OKAY. FIRST UP IN OUR WORK SESSION TONIGHT, WE HAVE A SOUTHLAKE BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT.

[3. Southlake Business Spotlight - RobotLAB Inc., located at 950 E. State Highway 114, Suite 160, inside VariSpace Southlake]

YES, SIR. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

IT'S MY PLEASURE TO BE UP HERE WITH YOU, AS ALWAYS.

TO SHOW OFF THE SOUTHLAKE BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT.

IT IS ROBOT LAB DFW FOR THIS EVENING.

THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO BE IN ATTENDANCE AS THEY HAD A PRIOR COMMITMENT, BUT WE HAD A LOT OF FUN AND THEY'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

HELLO EVERYONE. THIS IS RUCHIKA NAGRATH.

I AM THE OWNER OF BREAKFAST GROUP OF COMPANIES.

WE STARTED OUR COMPANY FOUR YEARS BACK, RIGHT BEFORE COVID.

THIS IS OUR FIRST STEP INTO THE ROBOTICS WORLD.

WE'VE BEEN BUSINESS OWNERS FOR FOUR YEARS AND WE'VE SEEN THE CHALLENGES EVERY SMALL BUSINESS, MID SIZE, LARGE BUSINESSES ARE FACING.

THAT'S WHAT WE FELT, THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY ROOM TO MAKE THINGS BETTER, AND THAT'S WHY WE PARTNERED UP WITH MR. ELLARD, WHO RUNS THE ROBOT LAB.

WE PARTNERED UP WITH HIM THIS YEAR.

WE BECAME THE FIRST FRANCHISEE FOR HIM AND WE HAVE TAKEN OVER THE DALLAS FORT WORTH METROPLEX.

THERE ARE FOUR MAIN AREAS THAT WE COVER.

FIRST IS THE CLEANING ROBOTS.

SO WE HAVE LARGE COMMERCIAL CLEANING ROBOTS THAT WILL COME AND MAP OUT THE WHOLE SURFACE THAT YOU WANT TO CLEAN INDOOR OR OUTDOOR.

WE HAVE DIFFERENT KINDS.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU NEED.

THE SECOND AREA THAT WE COVER IS THE IS THE DELIVERY ROBOTS.

SO THEY COME SERVE.

SO YOU CAN PUT PLATES, YOU CAN PUT PACKAGES, ANY MATERIAL, CLOSED DOORS, OPEN DOORS.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF VARIETIES IN DELIVERY ROBOTS TOO.

THE THIRD CATEGORY OF ROBOTS THAT WE HAVE IS MORE OF A HUMAN LIKE ROBOT THAT WILL STAND AND GREET YOUR CLIENTS, CUSTOMERS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE YOU SERVE.

SO IT'S MORE INFORMATIONAL.

AND THEN THE FOURTH CATEGORY WOULD BE THE GUIDE ROBOT.

IT'S THINK OF THIS IF YOU'RE LOST AT AN AIRPORT OR IF YOU HAVE A LARGE CONVENTION CENTER AND YOU WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THE ROBOT, AND MAYBE THAT ROBOT CAN ACTUALLY TAKE THAT CLIENT OF YOURS TO THE DESTINATION, THEY WANT TO GO.

WE ARE LOCATED IN THE VARISPACE BUILDING IN SOUTHLAKE.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE ON THE FIFTH FLOOR, SO STOP BY ANYTIME.

WE HAVE A BIG WAREHOUSE.

WE HAVE A SHOWROOM WHERE WE CAN SHOW YOU EVERYTHING THAT WE OFFER.

THANK YOU. AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE. BUT HOPEFULLY NOT ABOUT HOW ROBOTS WORK BECAUSE THAT IS NOT WHAT I'M VERSED IN.

[00:05:02]

RASHIKA. YEAH, THAT'S REALLY AMAZING.

YEAH. SUPER COOL. THEY'RE IN VARISPACE.

YES, SIR. THEY'RE UP ON THE FIFTH FLOOR.

THERE'S SOME REALLY, REALLY COOL COMPANIES IN VARIOUS SPACE.

IT'S REALLY COOL. VERISPACE ITSELF IS A REALLY COOL CENTER, SO THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB OF ATTRACTING BUSINESS.

ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL SUPER COOL.

THANK YOU FOR DOING YOU ALL SO MUCH. ABSOLUTELY NO, BUT I'M GOING TO MAKE A COMMENT.

I JUST WENT TO A FUNCTION WHERE A ROBOT LAB GREETED YOU AND IT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER BECAUSE THE LOBBY OF THIS PARTICULAR BUSINESS DIDN'T HAVE A STAFF MEMBER.

AND THE ROBOT SAID, GOOD EVENING, ARE YOU HERE FOR THE FUNCTION? AND I WAS LIKE, YES.

AND HE'S LIKE, RIGHT THIS WAY DOWN THE HALL.

AND HE MOVED AND LIKE POINTED DOWN THE HALL.

AND I'M LIKE, WHOA, THIS IS BLOWING MY MIND RIGHT NOW.

IT WAS REALLY COOL. SO THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT.

THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER ROBOT ROAMING AROUND SERVING LITTLE APPETIZERS AND IT WAS REALLY COOL.

SO PRETTY COOL CONCEPT AND IT'S PRETTY NEAT.

PRETTY NEAT. CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT IT WILL BE IN FIVE YEARS.

YEAH. WAVE OF THE FUTURE.

YES. VERY COOL. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

GLAD YOU'RE HERE. GREAT.

WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS RECOGNITION OF NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK.

[4. Recognition of National Customer Service Week, October 2-6]

COME ON DOWN, TELL US ALL ABOUT YOUR TEAM.

I'M A LITTLE WORRIED I'M GOING TO BE REPLACED BY A ROBOT.

THOUGH IF THEY'RE GREETING PEOPLE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE TO TALK ABOUT NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK.

BEFORE I GET INTO THE WEEK ITSELF, I WANTED TO BRAG A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY TEAM.

AND SO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MATRIX TEAM STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 2020.

IT'S A CROSS DEPARTMENTAL TEAM THAT FOCUSES ON IMPROVING CUSTOMER SERVICE IN EVERY AREA THAT WE TOUCH.

OUR MISSION IS PRETTY BASIC.

IT'S TO IMPLEMENT A RESPONSIVE, TIMELY AND SUCCESSFUL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.

AND THERE'S A LIST OF SOME OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, INCLUDING MAPPING OUR CUSTOMER INTERACTIONS, CREATING STANDARDS, CREATING SOME TRAINING MATERIALS. WE ACT AS A FOCUS GROUP FOR DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE LOOKING TO MAKE CHANGES THAT IMPACT THE CUSTOMER.

WE ALSO CREATED A CUSTOMER SERVICE LIAISON GROUP WHICH HELPS US GATHER FEEDBACK.

WE COORDINATE THE NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK.

AND THEN WE'VE.

THIS TEAM HAS BEEN KEY IN IMPLEMENTING THE NEW SOUTHLAKE SERVICE TOOL.

SO NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK STARTED IN 1987.

IN 1992, THE US CONGRESS PROCLAIMED CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK AS A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED HOLIDAY IS CELEBRATED THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER, AND IT'S NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATION, WHICH FOCUSES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CELEBRATING THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE AND SUPPORT CUSTOMERS ON A DAILY BASIS.

IN LAST YEAR, IN 2022 WAS OUR FIRST YEAR CELEBRATING IT, AND WE PLANNED TO MAKE IT AN ANNUAL EVENT WITH FUN FILLED ACTIVITIES THAT REALLY HIGHLIGHT AND AGAIN, CELEBRATE OUR GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

SO THIS YEAR THEIR THEME IS TEAM SERVICE, AND IT MEANS NO MATTER WHERE OUR TEAM MEMBERS ARE WORKING, WHAT THEIR TITLES ARE, HOW THEY SERVE CUSTOMERS, WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM AND WE ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL WHEN WE WORK AS A TEAM.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING THIS WEEK ARE WE BECAUSE OF THE TEAM SERVICE THEME, WE'VE DECIDED TO DO A SERVICE PROJECT TO SUPPORT THE GRACE FOOD PANTRY.

SO WE'RE GATHERING FOOD ITEMS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FUN POPCORN BAR FOR THE TEAMS AND THEN WE'RE HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF OUR SOUTHLAKE VALUES BY ASKING THE TEAMS TO CREATE SOME VIDEOS.

AND THEN WE HAVE A TEAM SPIRIT DAY PLANNED AS WELL, AND WE WILL SHARE SOME OF THOSE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS WITH YOU ON THE DAILY UPDATES NEXT WEEK.

SO THAT'S IT.

WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR SOUTHLAKE TEAM MEMBERS FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND TAKING CARE OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND RESIDENTS EVERY DAY.

ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AS WELL.

I KNOW YOU GUYS HANDLE A LOT OF CRAZY STUFF, YOU KNOW, CITY OUR SIZE, YOU KNOW, AND WE GOT A LOT OF EXPECTATIONS ON THE LEVEL OF SERVICE TO PROVIDE.

AND SOMETIMES THINGS COME UP THAT, YOU KNOW, REPRESENT REALLY FOCUSED PROBLEMS TO JUMP ON.

AND I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO TO TACKLE THEM AND COMMUNICATE WELL WITH RESIDENTS.

SO WE THANK YOU FOR THAT VERY MUCH.

COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? YEAH. MAYOR, I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD TO THE MAYOR'S COMMENTS.

JUST THANK YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR SUCH A JOB WELL DONE.

I GET TO INTERACT WITH THE TEAM NOT ONLY AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, BUT ALSO JUST AS A RESIDENT.

AND OVER THE COURSE OF 18 YEARS, I'VE HAD PLENTY OF TIMES TO HAVE TO CALL, ASK A QUESTION, NEED DIRECTION TO GO SOMEWHERE.

AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IT'S ALWAYS JUST AN OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE.

WE HEAR THAT FROM OUR RESIDENTS, HOW MUCH THEY APPRECIATE THAT WHEN THEY CALL THE CITY, THEY'RE GOING TO GET AN ANSWER.

AND EVEN IF THEY JUST HAPPEN TO CALL A NUMBER AND DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE RIGHT NUMBER, THEY'RE GOING TO BE DIRECTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

SO YOU GUYS ARE THE FACE OF THE CITY.

[00:10:02]

SO IT'S NOT UNNOTICED OR UNAPPRECIATED.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. WELL, I HAVE GOT A PROCLAMATION FOR YOU GUYS, AND THEN I'D LIKE TO INVITE THE WHOLE MATRIX TEAM TO COME DOWN AND TAKE A PICTURE.

OKAY. WHEREAS THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE RECOGNIZES CUSTOMER SERVICE PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR CITY AND ARE RELIED UPON TO MEET CUSTOMER NEEDS AND ADJUST TO AN EVER CHANGING MARKETPLACE.

AND. WHEREAS, NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK WAS ESTABLISHED AND DESIGNATED BY THE US CONGRESS IN 1992, AND THE EVENT IS NOW OBSERVED IN ALL 50 STATES AND 60 COUNTRIES.

AND. WHEREAS, SOUTHLAKE RESIDENTS BENEFIT GREATLY FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE AND SUPPORT BY CUSTOMER SERVICE PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE THERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND ASSIST CUSTOMERS, WHETHER ON THE PHONE, ONLINE OR IN PERSON.

AND. WHEREAS, THIS YEAR WE CELEBRATE THE THEME OF TEAM SERVICE, WHICH FOCUSES ON TEAMWORK AND SERVING THE CUSTOMER TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT AND IMPLEMENT A RESPONSIVE, TIMELY AND SUCCESSFUL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, MAYOR JOHN HUFFMAN OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 2ND THROUGH SIXTH, 2023, AS NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK IN SOUTHLAKE AND ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS TO EXPRESS THEIR GRATITUDE TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PROFESSIONALS WHO MAKE OUR CITY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND VISIT.

[3.B. City Manager's Report]

MS.. YELVERTON. YES, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO ASK MELODY ANDERSON TO STEP FORWARD.

WE HAVE LAUNCHED OUR CITIZEN SATISFACTION SURVEY, AND SHE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A FEW DETAILS.

MS. ANDERSON, TAKE IT AWAY.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A FEW UPDATES ABOUT THE LAUNCH OF THE CITIZEN SATISFACTION SURVEY.

THE SURVEY LAUNCHED YESTERDAY, OCTOBER 2ND, AND IT WILL BE OPEN UNTIL NOVEMBER 6TH.

SO A LITTLE OVER A MONTH EVERY TWO YEARS.

THE CITY COUNCIL SORRY, THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE CONDUCTS A CITIZEN SURVEY TO MEASURE RESIDENTS SATISFACTION LEVELS WITH CITY SERVICES AND TO GATHER OPINIONS ON SPECIFIC POLICY QUESTIONS.

THE SURVEY RESULTS WILL PROVIDE COUNCIL AND STAFF WITH INFORMATION THAT WILL BE USED TO MAKE STRATEGIC DECISIONS IN VARIOUS AREAS, INCLUDING SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS AND ENHANCEMENTS, MEASURING AND TRACKING, INTERNAL PERFORMANCE, BUDGETING, POLICY MAKING, COMMUNICATION AND PLANNING.

THE SURVEY RESULTS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN EARLY 2024.

THE SURVEY IS MOBILE FRIENDLY AND CAN BE TAKEN FROM ANY DEVICE.

IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE ABOUT 10 TO 12 MINUTES TO TAKE THE COURSE SURVEY WITH ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL QUESTIONS THAT WOULD ADD ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO THE TOTAL.

YOU'LL SEE SOME INCREASED ADVERTISING THROUGH THE OF THE SURVEY THROUGH VARIOUS CITY COMMUNICATION TOOLS SUCH AS THIS WEEK'S MINUTE WITH THE MAYOR. THE CITY'S WEBSITE AND EVERBRIDGE CALL MAILERS WILL BE GOING TO EACH HOME CITYWIDE EVENT, SIGN SIGNS IN THE PARK, SOCIAL MEDIA AND MY SOUTHLAKE NEWS, JUST TO NAME A FEW.

THE COMMUNICATION ALL INCLUDES A BARCODE THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE ON THE SCREEN, AND THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE CITY'S WEB PAGE WHERE THERE'S A LINK THAT THE SURVEY IS LOCATED.

SO WE HOPE EVERYBODY GETS A CHANCE TO TAKE THE SURVEY.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS MAY HAVE.

QUESTIONS COUNCIL. I'LL POINT OUT THAT I TOOK MY SURVEY TODAY FROM MY PHONE.

IT TOOK TEN MINUTES. IT WAS SUPER EASY.

WE SHOULD ALL TAKE IT.

YOU SHOULD ALL. AFTER THE MEETING, THOUGH, LET'S FOCUS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO POST IT AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME GREAT FEEDBACK.

PERFECT. WE APPRECIATE IT.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO SKIP CONSENT AND PUBLIC FORUM.

WE DON'T HAVE IT'S NOT 7:00, SO WE CAN'T DO IT YET.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO JUMP AHEAD TO ITEM 6C, ORDINANCE NUMBER FOUR, 8807.

[6.C. Ordinance No. 480-807, ZA23-0048, 2nd Reading, Zoning Change and Concept Plan for 1584 Randol Mill Ave., for property described as Tract 1 B, William Winn Survey Abstract No. 1660, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1584 Randol Mill Ave, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District. Proposed Zoning: "SF-30" Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood# 5. PUBLIC HEARING]

GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR. JUST IN TIME.

AND THIS IS SECOND READING, SO I DO COUNCIL, DOES ANYBODY NEED A COMPREHENSIVE PRESENTATION ON THIS ONE? SO, DENNIS, JUST THE HIGHLIGHTS, PLEASE.

CERTAINLY THIS PROPERTY, AS MENTIONED, IS AT 1584, RANDOL MILL AVENUE, AND IT IS A REQUEST TO CHANGE ZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL TO SF 30 SINGLE FAMILY.

PROPERTY IS IN A LOW DENSITY LAND USE DESIGNATION.

HOWEVER, THIS IS A PREEXISTING TRACT THAT IS SLIGHTLY UNDER AN ACRE FOR WHICH THE ONE ACRE ZONING WOULD MAKE

[00:20:01]

HENCE THE REQUEST FOR SF 30 VERSUS SF ONE A IN THIS AREA.

THIS AERIAL PHOTO OF THE SITE, THE DRIVING FACTOR FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER IS THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN ADDITION TO THE HOME. THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT LIMITS YOUR LOT COVERAGE OF A BUILDING TO 10% OF THE LOT AREA AND THAT IS PROHIBITIVE OF THEM ADDING THE ADDITION THEY WOULD LIKE THE ZONING ACTION WOULD ALLOW THEM THE ADDITIONAL COVERAGE TO MAKE AN ADDITION ON THIS PORTION OF THE HOME.

UH, THIS IS THE EXHIBIT SHOWING PROPOSED ADDITIONS.

AND A SLIGHTLY MORE DETAILED CONCEPT.

SO WE'RE JUST CHANGING THE ZONING TO CLEAN UP THE LOT SINCE IT'S NOT A FULL ACRE.

THAT IS CORRECT. PERFECT.

ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE BY CHANCE? DO YOU HAVE ANY THING YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT PRESENTATION? IT SEEMS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD, COUNCIL.

WE'LL CALL PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM IF THERE'S ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM SIX.

SEE? SEEING NONE.

I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL.

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

YES, MAYOR. COUNCIL. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM SIX C, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-807, CASE NUMBER ZA 23-0048.

SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR 1584 RANDOL MILL AVENUE FOR PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS TRACK ONE B WILLIAM WIND SURVEY ABSTRACT NUMBER 1660, CITY OF SOUTHLAKE TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS AND LOCATED AT 1584 RANDOL MILL AVENUE SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS, SUBJECT TO OUR STAFF REPORT DATED SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2023, AND CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER TWO, DATED AUGUST 23RD, 2023, NOTING THAT ALTHOUGH THE SF 30 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT IS TYPICALLY NOT FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LAND USE CATEGORY OF THE CITY'S LAND USE PLAN, WE FIND THAT THIS PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT, GIVEN THAT IT IS A PREEXISTING TRACT OF APPROXIMATELY 0.95 ACRES AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE CONFORMING UNDER THE SF ONE A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT, AND THAT THERE IS NO FURTHER SUBDIVISION OR INCREASE IN DENSITY WITH ONE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNIT AND THE TRACT WILL REMAIN IN CHARACTER WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.

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

AND ITEM SIX PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX D, ORDINANCE NUMBER 1278, SECOND READING, DEDICATING A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT AND A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT TO TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY.

[6.D. Ordinance No. 1278, 2nd reading, dedicating a sanitary sewer easement and a temporary construction easement to Trinity River Authority (TRA) on Lot 30, Block 1, Kirkwood Hollow Addition, being located as 3000 N. White Chapel Blvd. PUBLIC HEARING]

I'LL BE PRESENTING ITEM SIX D FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT.

THE REQUESTED ACTION IS BASICALLY FROM THE TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY.

THEY'RE LOOKING TO EXPAND THEIR LIFT STATION LOCATED HERE JUST EAST OF NORTH WHITECHAPEL.

IN THE GREEN IS THE AREA OF QUESTION FOR THE EASEMENT.

THE AREA IS JUST SOUTH OF SABER DRIVE AND EAST OF WEST KIRKWOOD, KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD.

THE EXHIBITS HERE IN THE UPPER RIGHT SHOW THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED EXHIBIT THAT THE PROPOSED EASEMENT EXCUSE ME, THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING EXHIBIT TO THE LEFT SHOWS A LITTLE MORE DETAIL.

YOU HAVE THE EXISTING LIFT STATION IN THIS GENERAL AREA.

THEY'RE LOOKING TO EXPAND THEIR DEBT AND CREATE PUMP STATION OUTLINED HERE.

AND THEN THE OUTLINE HERE IN RED ENCOMPASSES THE ACTUAL UTILITY EASEMENT THAT WILL BE PERMANENTLY DEDICATED FOR THE 30 INCH LINE, WHICH WOULD SUPPORT NOT ONLY SOUTH LAKE WESTLAKE AND ROANOKE, BUT IT ALSO THE EXHIBIT TO THE LOWER RIGHT ALSO INVOLVES A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS THAT ARE WOULD BORDER ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THIS UTILITY EASEMENT TO AFFORD THEM TO WORK.

THIS IS A NO COST AGREEMENT AND THIS ACTION ALIGNS WITH THE STRATEGY MAP ELEMENT SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

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

GREAT PRESENTATION, COUNSELOR.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY. SEEING NONE, I GUESS WE HAVE NO APPLICATION.

NO APPLICANT, RIGHT? NO. JUST US. GREAT.

YES, SIR. IN THAT CASE, I'LL OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SIX D.

WELL, WE'RE GOING TO DO PUBLIC FORUM FIRST.

[5. Public Forum]

WE HAVE I KNOW ONE COMMENTER AND I DO NOT SEE MS. KEENEST. NO.

OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO OPEN UP A PUBLIC FORUM.

I'VE GOT TWO ADDITIONAL COMMENTERS, RICH AND MR. BENNETT. I BELIEVE YOU GUYS ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON A PARTICULAR ITEM THAT'S GOING ON CONSENT.

SO I WANT YOU GUYS TO SPEAK NOW.

IS THAT OKAY? ALL RIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S CALL IT FIRST MR. DIAT. AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

AND GENTLEMEN, YOU'VE BOTH BEEN HERE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S THREE MINUTES.

THE GREEN LIGHT WILL GO ON WHEN YOU START YELLOW LIGHT, WHEN YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT AND RED LIGHT IS WHEN THE MUSIC CUTS.

TAKE IT AWAY, SIR.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. MY NAME IS RICH DIET.

I LIVE AT 112 KEYSTONE IN SOUTHLAKE AND I SERVE ON THE TARRANT COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN THE LAST YEAR.

ACTUALLY, THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN VERY INTERESTING IN THAT ROLE.

ORDINARILY, IT'S A VERY QUIET BOARD.

MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT DOES.

UM, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AFFECTED BY WHAT TAD DOES, THERE'S ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION PEOPLE IN TARRANT COUNTY THAT ARE AFFECTED BY TAD'S OPERATIONS, AND SOME OF THOSE OPERATIONS HAVE RAISED CONCERNS WITH ME ABOUT TRANSPARENCY, HONESTY.

I HONESTLY THINK THE BOARD HAS BEEN LIED TO DIRECTLY.

OVER THAT TIME. AND SO ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THERE WERE SOME EVENTS THAT HAPPENED AND I STARTED CALLING FOR THE CHIEF APPRAISER'S RESIGNATION.

AND THE REST OF THE BOARD WASN'T THERE.

THEY WERE GETTING THERE.

AND SOMETHING HAPPENED THOUGH THIS.

A LETTER OF REPAIR WAS ISSUED, WHICH IS A LETTER THAT SAYS, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER IN 90 DAYS OR YOUR JOB'S ON THE LINE.

I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT WHEN IT STARTED.

I WAS PRESIDING OFFICER AT THAT POINT, AND I HAD A MEETING IN MARCH, AN AGENDA ON OUR MARCH MEETING TO TALK ABOUT THE WEBSITE ISSUES.

AND THE WEBSITE WAS A DISASTER THIS YEAR, UNMITIGATED DISASTER.

SO WHAT? WE TRY TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF AT THAT MEETING WAS WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN NOTICES WENT OUT AND PEOPLE WANTED TO PROTEST ONLINE.

AND IF YOU CAN'T GET ONLINE AT ALL, YOU CAN'T PROTEST.

AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A LOT WORSE THAN I HAD IMAGINED.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN.

AND SO THIS LETTER OF REPAIR WAS ISSUED.

AND AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE JULY.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A JULY MEETING.

SO IN AUGUST, WE DEALT WITH IT AND WE TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

AND THEN WE CAME OUT AND I DECIDED BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I MADE A MOTION.

I MADE A MOTION OF CONFIDENCE ASKING IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE MOVING FORWARD, DO YOU VOTE YES? AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE, YOU VOTE NO.

THAT VOTE WENT DOWN THREE, TWO, TWO, THREE IN FAVOR OF CONFIDENCE AND TWO NOT FIVE DAYS LATER.

THE LAST AND FINAL CONTROVERSY UNDER THAT CHIEF APPRAISER OCCURRED BECAUSE ONE OF HIS DIRECTORS WAS ON A RECORDING SAYING WE NEED TO SEPARATE THE MEDIA FROM THE TRUTH.

AND I'LL TELL YOU, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT YOU HAVING TRANSPARENCY WHEN YOU WHEN YOU DO THINGS LIKE THAT.

THEN AND I'VE GOT 10S MAYOR, I AM GOING TO ASK FOR A LITTLE GRACE IF I CAN.

I CAN'T. IF I LET YOU HAVE IT, EVERYBODY GETS IT TOO.

OKAY, LET ME CLAIM THE FIVE SECONDS I JUST LOST.

YOU BETTER HURRY. RICH MAYOR HUFFMAN SIGNED A LETTER WITH TWO OTHER LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, AND IT MADE A HUGE, HUGE DIFFERENCE. AND I JUST TONIGHT WANT THE TAXPAYERS TO KNOW THAT THIS CITY COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR HAVE DONE THEIR PART AND ARE DOING THEIR PART TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAD.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE, MAYOR.

OH, YOU COULD HAVE GONE ON ABOUT THAT.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. DIONNE. I APPRECIATE YOU, SIR.

OKAY. NEXT PUBLIC COMMENTER IS DANIEL J.

BENNETT. SIR, IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN WE'LL GET STARTED.

DANIEL J. BENNETT, CITY OF WHITE SETTLEMENT 408 PEMBERTON.

[00:30:03]

WELL, HE KIND OF STOLE MY THUNDER.

I, TOO, WANT TO THANK YOU.

I THINK I THANKED YOU IN PRIVATE, BUT I WANT TO THANK THIS COUNCIL.

IT'S JUST NOT ONE PERSON.

IT'S TWO COUNCIL.

YOU GUYS COLLECTIVELY JOINED WITH KELLER AND COLLIERVILLE, AND YOU MOVED THE NEEDLE.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TRANSPARENCY, BECAUSE WHEN MS..

WILDMAN WAS RECALLED, SHE WENT TO KELLER TO SAVE HER POSITION.

AND ARMIN AND ROSS MCMILLAN BASICALLY SAID TO MS..

WILDMAN, YOU CAN RELINQUISH ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE.

THERE WAS A REPORT THAT POTENTIALLY HAD OFFICIAL OPPRESSION IN IT.

AND THERE WAS AN AMENDED REPORT RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC AND THE PRESS.

NOW, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT DIVERGING THE TRUTH FROM THE MEDIA.

WELL, THINK ABOUT THIS AMENDED REPORT FROM THE FULL REPORT.

THEY WOULD NOT RELEASE THE FULL REPORT.

SO THAT PROCESS OF CREATING A FALSE NARRATIVE WASN'T JUST IN THE IT DEPARTMENT.

MR. LAW ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO THE GENTLEMAN WHO WROTE THE REPORT, AND THAT'S GALLEGOS.

AND EVERYBODY USES GALLEGOS.

AND YOU MUST THINK ABOUT THIS.

IF YOU USE GALLEGOS, ARE THEY BEING TRANSPARENT TO YOUR ELECTORATE? IT'S ALL RELATED.

SO WHAT MR. MCMILLAN SAID AND WHAT ALMOND SAID, IF YOU JUST ABSOLVE YOUR ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE, WE MAY NOT RECALL YOU.

THEY DUG THEIR HEELS IN.

SHE WAS GONE.

AND THEN TONY POMPA THAT EVENING, ARLINGTON ISD AFICIONADO, THE GENTLEMAN WHO'S KNOWS HOW TO I GUESS, MANAGE A SCHOOL DISTRICT BUT CAN'T MANAGE AN APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

HE WAS THERE IN DEFENSE OF MS..

WILDMAN IN HER ACTIONS.

SO HE TOO AGREED WITH THE AMENDED REPORT AND THAT MR. LAU WAS ABLE TO CHOOSE HIS OWN ATTORNEY TO WRITE THIS THING TO SEPARATE THE TRUTH FROM THE PUBLIC.

SO ANYWAY, TONIGHT YOU'RE NOMINATING.

IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE CULTURE OF TAD.

YOU ARE A UNIQUELY POSITIONED.

TO PUT PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD WHO WILL DO JUST THAT.

I AM HOPING THAT YOU WILL CHOOSE MR. GARY LAZARD OR MR. RICH DIET AND MR. VINCE PUENTE AS YOUR NOMINEES.

NOW, THE WAY THIS THING WORKS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE ALL YOUR VOTES TO ONE.

YOU CAN SPREAD YOUR VOTES OUT.

BUT WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT IS TO GET THESE THREE PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD.

SO I'M HOPING THAT YOU'LL I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE MR. LASORDA'S RESUME.

I HAVE IT HERE.

I DO WANT TO SHARE ONE THING WITH YOU BEFORE MY TIME IS OVER.

I WAS IN BURLESON LAST NIGHT, AND THEY HAD A.

ON THEIR SCREEN.

THEY HAD THIS PARTICULAR THING THAT SAID GOVERNING IS PART OF WHAT THE BOARD DOES.

AND THE NIGHT MR. PAPA DEFENDED MISS WALDMAN, HE SAID GOVERNING WAS NOT PART OF HIS JOB.

THANK YOU, SIR. AND IT'S RIGHT HERE.

YOU CAN GO TO THE CITY OF BURLESON AND LOOK AT THAT.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT? YES, SIR. COME ON DOWN.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS RON MILLER.

I'M A RESIDENT OF CAROLINE.

PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT, WE RESIDE ON RIVIERA LANE AND Y'ALL MAY NOT KIND OF BE AWARE, ALTHOUGH I THINK YOU ARE ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT, CARILLON PARK.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SIGNIFICANT ISSUES SPECIFICALLY REGARDING RIVIERA LANE.

THERE HAVE BEEN PARTIAL FULL CLOSURES.

Y'ALL PROBABLY ARE AWARE OF THE GAS LEAK THAT HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE CONNECTING WATER LINES.

FROM IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSES TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT HAVE LITERALLY TAKEN THREE WEEKS.

SO I'M HERE.

I MEAN, DIG A HOLE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.

COVER IT BACK UP WITH CONCRETE.

TEAR IT OUT AGAIN.

COVER IT UP WITH CONCRETE.

TEAR IT OUT AGAIN.

AND THEY JUST REPLACED THE CONCRETE FOR THE THIRD TIME IN FRONT OF EVERY OTHER HOUSE, EFFECTIVELY ON RIVIERA LANE.

I DON'T THINK THAT THE CITIZENS WERE AWARE, THE RESIDENTS OF CARILLON WERE AWARE OF ANY OF THAT.

SO I'M GOING TO BE QUICK.

I DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS THAT WE NEED TO GO THROUGH, WHETHER IT LIES WITH PLANNING AND ZONING OR COUNCIL.

BUT I DO THINK THAT WE NEED TO STOP THE CONSTRUCTION ON RIVIERA TO THE EXTENT IT'S GOING TO CAUSE PARTIAL OR FULL CLOSURES FROM THIS

[00:35:03]

AND I'M HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP.

SECONDLY, TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY OTHER UTILITY WORK THAT AFFECTS STREETS OR PARKING IN CAROLINE, IT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO, AGAIN, I BELIEVE, PLANNING AND ZONING AND THIS COUNCIL.

AND THEN THIRDLY, THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK FOR THE PHASE TWO DEVELOPMENT.

AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM THE FROM THE WATER GUY THAT WAS THERE YESTERDAY, THAT THEY PLAN ON PUTTING A WATER LINE DOWN RIVIERA LANE.

SO WE JUST NEED TO HAVE DETAILED CONVERSATIONS ABOUT UTILITY AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION, SPECIFICALLY ON PHASE TWO.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S A YEAR DEVELOPMENT.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A TWO YEAR DEVELOPMENT.

I BELIEVE IT'S MUCH LONGER THAN THAT.

AND TO GIVE YOU PERSPECTIVE, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE MOST MAJOR MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS.

IT'S THE HARDEST THING TO DEVELOP THAT I'VE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH.

LEGACY WEST, PLANO DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH IT, DOMAIN NORTHSIDE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.

DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN IT.

MUSIC LANE, SOUTH CONGRESS, AUSTIN, TEXAS.

DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN IT, AND THE SHOPPES AT ARIA IN LAS VEGAS.

SO I'M NOT A RESIDENT THAT'S JUST UPSET WITH THE DEVELOPMENT.

I UNDERSTAND DEVELOPMENT, BUT WE HAVE AN ISSUE HERE.

SO ANYWAY, AGAIN, I APPRECIATE THE MAYOR.

I APPRECIATE THIS COUNCIL.

WE WE LIVED IN TROPHY CLUB FOR 17 YEARS.

MY WIFE'S DANCE TROUPE WAS AT THE GROUNDBREAKING HERE.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY.

DID YOU ALREADY MAKE A MOTION? ALL RIGHT. GREAT MOTION.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

GRACIOUS. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

THE MOTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA PASSES.

SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OKAY. MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN A, WHICH IS ORDINANCE NUMBER FOUR, DASH 804.

[7.A. Ordinance No. 480-804, 1st Reading, ZA23-0008, Zoning Change and Site Plan for Southlake Marketplace, for property described as Lots 5, 6, and 7, Block 1, Southlake Crossing Phase II, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 2001-2115 W. Southlake Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "C-3" General Commercial District. Requested Zoning: "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #10. ]

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 2001 THROUGH 2115 WEST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

IT'S ALSO KNOWN AS SOUTHLAKE CROSSING BY ITS SUBDIVISION PLATTING NAME, BUT MOST COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS SOUTHLAKE MARKETPLACE.

THE PROPOSAL HERE IS TO REZONE THE CURRENTLY C3 PROPERTY TO AN SP ONE ZONING DISTRICT WITH C3 USES AND REGULATIONS TO ALLOW FOR SOME REDEVELOPMENT OF THAT PROPERTY.

THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTO OF THE SITE.

AND AS MENTIONED EARLIER, CURRENT ZONING IS SEE THREE GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

THIS PROPOSAL WOULD RETAIN THAT DISTRICT AS A BASE DISTRICT AND PROVIDE FOR MODIFICATIONS IN PARTICULAR WITH IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE ON THE SIDE AND PARKING REGULATIONS.

THE LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THIS IS RETAIL COMMERCIAL.

AND THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

ONE OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IS CURRENTLY THERE IS AN OPEN SPACE AREA ON THE SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD FRONTAGE THAT IS PROPOSED FOR A 2600 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT SITE WITH DRIVE THRU SERVICE.

ALSO, WHAT IS CURRENTLY A PASS THRU DRIVE LANE AND PARKING AREA WOULD BE RECONFIGURED TO A OPEN SPACE AREA.

AS PART OF THAT, ALSO THESE ALL THE PARKING AND THIS FIELD IS ANGLED PARKING AND THEY ARE REDESIGNING THOSE TWO STRAIGHT IN PARKING SPACES AND RECONFIGURING THE PARKING ISLANDS AS WELL.

THERE'S ACTUALLY A LITTLE GAIN IN PARKING ISLAND SPACE AS WELL AS A GAIN.

AND IN OVERALL PARKING FOR THIS PORTION OF THE SITE.

ALL IN ALL, THE EXISTING PERVIOUS COVERAGE FOR THIS SITE WAS DONE UNDER AN ORDINANCE THAT DID NOT HAVE IMPERVIOUS

[00:50:08]

AND WHILE ADDING ADDITIONAL BUILDING SPACE, THE RECONFIGURATION OF THOSE PARKING SPACES AND LANDSCAPE ISLANDS BASICALLY KEEPS IT AT STATUS QUO OF 78%.

AND THERE IS A GAIN OF OF ABOUT.

27. OR EXCUSE ME, 17 PARKING SPACES.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED BUILDING PAD SITE ON ON THE SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD FRONTAGE.

IT WOULD INCLUDE DRIVE THRU SERVICE FOR THAT.

AND THIS IS PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.

I WILL ADD THAT SIGNAGE AND MURALS IS NOT PART OF THIS CONSIDERATION.

THESE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK BEFORE THE COUNCIL UNDER AN APPROPRIATE SIGN PROVISION.

AND THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING.

IT IS PRIMARILY A TILE CERAMIC TILE PRODUCT AND STUCCO BUILDING STRUCTURE. UH, THESE ARE THE PROPOSED CHANGES REGARDING OPEN SPACE.

THE EXHIBIT ON THE LEFT SHOWS WHAT'S CURRENTLY CONFIGURED IN RED THAT IS PROPOSED BY CHANGE IN THE NEW SITE PLAN. AND THE NEW GREEN AREAS WOULD BE THE RECONFIGURED LANDSCAPE, OPEN SPACE AREAS UNDER THE NEW PLAN.

UH, THIS WOULD BECOME AN ACTIVATED AREA FOR WHICH THE ADJOINING ENCAP RESTAURANTS COULD UTILIZE.

UNDER THE SP ONE DETAILED SITE PLAN DISTRICT REGULATIONS.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS WOULD FOLLOW THE C THREE GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT USES AND REGULATIONS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE ALLOWING THAT TO BE AT.

I'LL JUST ROUND UP TO APPROXIMATELY 78%.

ALSO ALLOWING A REDUCTION IN THE PARKING WITH THE CAP BEING PROVIDED ON MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF RESTAURANT SPACE THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED AT 25,000FT², BUT IT WOULD RESULT IN ROUGHLY A 9% REDUCTION IN REQUIRED PARKING.

634 SPACES ARE CALCULATED TO BE REQUIRED UNDER THE ZONING ORDINANCE DEFINITION OF FLOOR FLOOR AREA, WHICH IS NET USABLE SPACE. AND THEY ARE PROVIDING UNDER THE NEW PLAN 578 PARKING SPACES.

CURRENTLY THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 561 IN PLACE RIGHT NOW.

ALSO REQUESTING APPROVAL OF THE LANDSCAPE PLAN AS PRESENTED AND PROPOSED, ALLOWING SOME OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS THAT ARE THERE CURRENTLY, AS WELL AS THE PROPOSED CHANGES REFLECTED IN THE INCLUDED LANDSCAPE PLAN.

ALSO ALLOWING THE CANOPY COLUMNS AS PROPOSED.

THE CORRIDOR OVERLAY REQUIRES THAT THOSE COLUMNS EITHER BE ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT OR CLAD AND MASONRY, AND THEY ARE PROPOSING JUST A STANDARD CYLINDRICAL POLE FOR THESE CANOPIES, WHICH I CAN REFER BACK TO THE ELEVATIONS OF RENDERING, IF YOU LIKE.

THIS IS JUST OVERALL PARKING ANALYSIS THAT APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED.

AND AS MENTIONED, IT'S ROUGHLY A 9% REDUCTION IN THE MINIMUM REQUIRED PARKING BASED ON A STANDARD OCCUPANCY OF RETAIL USE AND UP TO 25,000FT² OF RESTAURANT THROUGHOUT THE THIS PORTION OF THE CENTER.

THIS IS A PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN.

AND THIS IS AREA THAT WOULD BE CONVERTED TO A ACTIVATED OPEN SPACE AREA BETWEEN TWO OF THE BUILDINGS.

AS FAR AS PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSES WITHIN OUR 300 FOOT NOTIFICATION AREA, WE HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SEVEN ZERO.

[00:55:01]

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

APPLICANT'S GOT A PRESENTATION IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO OPEN THAT UP AS WELL.

SURE. SO JUST SO I HAVE THIS STRAIGHT, REALLY, THE VARIANCES WERE RELATED TO MAINTENANCE OF THE EXISTING IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE.

THAT'S NOT CHANGING.

CORRECT. REDUCING PARKING SPACES, WHICH.

I MEAN, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I SAW THE PARK IN THAT IN THAT CENTER, MORE THAN 10% OR 20% FULL.

CORRECT. 10%.

AND SOME, RIGHT? YES. OKAY.

DID I MISS ANYTHING? ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT? NO. WELL, WELL, WELL.

CONSOLIDATED MAYOR.

THANK YOU. SORRY, I SAID VERY WELL.

CONSOLIDATED THINGS. I JUST TRYING TO GET MY HEAD AROUND IT.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR GILL.

OKAY. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? YOU GUYS HAVE A PRESENTATION? UM. YEAH, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO OPEN IT UP.

MISSING A LINK THERE.

IF YOU WANT, JUST USE THE MOUSE AND THE ARROWS AND SCROLL THROUGH HERE.

IT'S TOO EASY. HEY, EVERYBODY.

I'M BUCK WHEELER WITH SHOP.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

DENNIS PRETTY MUCH HIT ALL THE HIGH POINTS, BUT I'D LOVE TO KIND OF RUN YOU THROUGH THE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A VISUAL PRESENTATION OF SOME RENDERINGS AND WHAT HAVE YOU REALLY BACKING UP REAL QUICK.

THE ULTIMATE VISION OF THIS WAS KIND OF LIKE WHAT YOU SAID.

WE BOUGHT THIS BACK IN MAY OF 2022, AND WHEN WE FIRST GOT ON SITE, WE HAD IT UNDER CONTRACT.

YOU JUST SIT OUT IN THE PARKING LOT AND JUST FEELS LIKE A TOTAL SEA OF CONCRETE.

IT FEELS VERY LIKE A CONCRETE JUNGLE.

AND SO WE ALSO DIDN'T SEE THAT PARKING UTILIZED.

SO WE WERE PRETTY SHOCKED TO WHEN WE GOT INTO THE WEEDS OF IT TO SEE THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY UNDER PARKED AS IT SITS TODAY.

AND SO THE ULTIMATE GOAL AND THE VISION HERE IS TO CREATE A MUCH MORE INVITING AND ENTICING ENVIRONMENT FROM A PEDESTRIAN SCALE.

AND THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE THAT IS THROUGH LANDSCAPE UPGRADES AND SOFTENING THE OVERALL PEDESTRIAN SCALE AS WELL AS CREATING PLACES THAT PEOPLE CAN DWELL.

SO THE WAY WE APPROACH OUR SHOPPING CENTERS IS INCREASING THE DWELL TIME.

YOU DO THAT THROUGH PATIOS, THROUGH GREEN SPACE, THROUGH JUST ACTIVE PORTIONS AND REALLY BRINGING SOME ENERGY.

SO RIGHT NOW, THE ORIGINAL PROPERTY WAS DEVELOPED IN AN INTERESTING WAY TO WHERE IN ORDER TO MEET THE WHATEVER THE THEN CURRENT GREEN SPACE OR IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE WAS, THEY CONSOLIDATED THE GREEN SPACE TO TWO AREAS THAT ARE JUST UNUTILIZED AND DEAD FOR THAT MATTER.

SO OUR PLAN REALLY PULLS A LOT OF THAT GREEN SPACE THROUGHOUT AND REALLY RELOCATES IT TO WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE.

JUST MUCH MORE EVENLY DISPERSED.

AND SO THE NET GREEN SPACE ACTUALLY DOESN'T CHANGE.

THERE'S A THERE'S A NET NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH WE'RE ADDING A PROPOSED NEW BUILDING PAD HERE.

SO AS FAR AS THE PARKING GOES, SHOCKINGLY, I KNOW IT DOESN'T PRESENT THIS WAY VISUALLY, BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY ADDING 17 SPACES ADDITIONAL FROM WHAT'S EXISTING TODAY.

SO YOU DO THAT THROUGH GAINING A LOT OF EFFICIENCY FROM THESE ANGLED PARKING.

AND EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A LOT LESS PARKING SURFACE AREA HERE, WE'RE ACTUALLY PICKING UP 17 PARKING SPACES THAN WHAT'S EXISTING TODAY.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THE AREAS IN BLUE WHERE RIGHT NOW IT'S A CURRENT FIRE LANE.

AND WE HAVE MET AND DISCUSSED WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL AND THE HOSE LINKS ARE GREAT FROM THE FIRE FIRE RISER ROOMS AS THEY SIT TODAY.

AND SO I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE FIRE MARSHAL, BUT THERE'S NO ISSUE WITH THAT.

SO THE IDEA IS TO MAKE THOSE TO BE KIND OF DUELING PATIOS TO WHERE THEY CAN BOTH PROGRAM CORNHOLE OR OUTDOOR MUSIC ON SATURDAY NIGHTS OR WHAT HAVE YOU, AND JUST REALLY USE THAT SPACE AND ACTIVATE IT TO INCREASE THAT DWELL TIME.

SO THIS THE TOP PICTURE IS THE EXISTING CONDITIONS.

THE BOTTOM IS IS A RENDERING OF THE VISION THERE AND THE PLAN AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE AND THEN THIS IS THAT EXISTING GREEN SPACE LOT AND THE BIRD CALL, WHICH YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN AND DENNIS TOOK YOU THROUGH.

AND SO AS FAR AS THE LEASING PLAN GOES, JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS A HIGH LEVEL, YOU KNOW, THE LEASING VELOCITY ON THIS, THE QUALITY OF SOUTHLAKE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

THE LEASING VELOCITY HAS BEEN SOME OF THE BEST WE'VE EVER SEEN.

AND SO WE'RE WE'RE PRETTY MUCH PENDING THIS FINALIZED ZONING.

WE'RE PRETTY MUCH 100% LEASED.

WE'VE SIGNED THIS LEASE WITH RISE.

[01:00:04]

WE ARE RELOCATING.

JAZZERCISE CURRENTLY LOCATES RIGHT HERE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE RELOCATING THEM RIGHT HERE.

AND CONSTRUCTION STARTS ON THAT.

ON THURSDAY, WE'VE SIGNED A LEASE WITH BREADWINNERS CAFE TO TAKE OVER THIS SPACE WHERE JAZZERCISE WAS.

AND MIRACLE-EAR AND MIRACLE-EAR HAS RELOCATED OVER HERE TO NEXT TO HOBBY LOBBY AND THEN ATA MARTIAL ARTS WAS WHERE RISE IS GOING AND WE RELOCATED THEM HERE.

AND THEN WE'VE SIGNED A NEW LEASE WITH PET VET 365 WITH EVERBOWL.

BOTH OF THOSE ARE IN AND OPERATING.

AND THEN DELUCA HAS RENEWED AND THEY'RE ABOUT TO BE UNDERTAKING AN INTERIOR RENOVATION.

AND THEN SEMPER LASER IS A NEW LEASE AND AND THEN BIRD CALL.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH BIRD CALL, BUT THE WAY THAT I WOULD DESCRIBE IT IS KIND OF LIKE.

THINK ABOUT SHAKE SHACK.

WHAT? SHAKE SHACK IS TO THE BURGER.

THE FAST FOOD BURGER INDUSTRY AND BIRD CALL IS KIND OF LIKE THAT TO THE FAST FOOD CHICKEN INDUSTRY.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE GOURMET HIGHER END.

THEY HAVE SALADS AND BUT IT'S ALSO A LOT MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT TO WHERE THEY HAVE KIDS ARCADE GAMES INSIDE AND THEY HAVE A PATIO AND THEY DO SERVE ALCOHOL.

AND SO IT'S A.

SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW I WOULD DESCRIBE THAT.

SO WE'RE WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

I THINK THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE GOING TO MAKE A MAJOR DIFFERENCE.

SO I GUESS WITH THAT, I THINK DENNIS REALLY HANDLED A LOT OF THE DETAILS.

THANK YOU, DENNIS.

DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT GUYS? NO. OKAY.

WE'LL CALL YOU BACK IF WE DO HAVE SOME.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME. WELL DONE.

GREAT JOB ON THE LEASING. THIS IS REALLY EXCITING.

VERY COOL. COUNSELOR, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR THE APPLICANT AT THIS POINT? I'M STRAIGHTFORWARD. GOOD STUFF.

SEEMS LIKE THEY GOT A LOT OF GREAT, GREAT MOMENTUM.

NO, I LOVE THE REVITALIZATION OF THAT PLAZA.

I MEAN, I JUST. YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT JUST FEELS SO IMPOSING AT THAT STARBUCKS OR THAT COFFEE SHOP UP THE STREET NEAR THAT PARKING LOT AND IT'S JUST SO DEAD.

SO I LOVE THIS REVITALIZATION OF IT.

AND I'M RISE AND BREADWINNERS.

THOSE ARE GOING TO BE GREAT ADDITIONS MOVING SOME OF THOSE OTHER THINGS AROUND.

RENEWING DELUCA TEXAS REGIONAL BANK IS ABOUT TO OPEN.

IT LOOKS GREAT.

YOU'RE RIGHT. VISUALLY, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU'RE ADDING PARKING, BUT IT LOOKS GREAT.

AND I LOVE THE THE GREEN SPACE YOU'RE PUTTING BETWEEN OUTSIDE RISE.

THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT ADDITION, TOO.

SO I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT.

GOOD JOB. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THIS IS A FIRST READING, SO IT'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING.

IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR IT.

OKAY. WELL, COUNSEL, IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I'LL TAKE A MOTION.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM SEVEN, A ORDINANCE NUMBER 488 ZERO FOR FIRST READING.

[9.A. SV23-0015, Sign Variances for The Gent's Place located at 1201 E. S.H. 114, Suite 140, Southlake, Texas.]

DIRECTOR KILO. MAYOR

[01:05:04]

UH, THIS IS THE AERIAL LOCATION OF THE SITE AND BUILDING LOCATION.

SPACE WAS RELOCATED AS PART OF THE CAPITAL GRILLE.

EXPANSION. UH, THEY WILL BE.

THEY ARE OCCUPYING THIS SPACE HERE, LOCATED IN BLUE OR HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE.

AND THIS IS A VISUAL FROM THE WEST ELEVATION OF THE FACADE WHERE THEIR PROPOSED SIGN IS TO BE PLACED AND THE EAST ELEVATION OF WHERE THAT PROPOSED SIGN WOULD BE PLACED.

UH, THIS IS AN EXHIBIT WITH OVERLAY OF THE PROPOSED SIGN.

THE VARIANCE HERE APPLIES TO THE SIGN TYPE.

AND THEN LIKEWISE, IF CONSIDERED A LOGO IN AND OF ITSELF, GIVEN ITS SHAPE, IT IS IN EXCESS OF WHAT THE MAXIMUM LOGO HEIGHT WOULD BE PERMITTED.

ALSO ON THIS WEST ELEVATION, THE WIDTH IS WIDER THAN WHAT WOULD BE PERMITTED ON THIS PARTICULAR FACADE. UH, THIS IS AN ENLARGED VIEW OF THE PROPOSED SIGN.

ROUGHLY JUST A LITTLE OVER 22FT².

UH, THIS IS A SINGLE CABINET SIGN, INTERNALLY LIT WITH ACRYLIC LETTERS.

PUT IN PLACE ON THAT FACADE.

UH, THIS IS WEST ELEVATION.

NIGHT VIEW. THE VARIANCES WITH REGARD TO THE WESTERN ELEVATION ARE IN PARTICULAR ITS WIDTH.

IT'S JUST SLIGHTLY OVER THE WIDTH PERMITTED GIVEN THE WIDTH OF THE FACADE THAT'S BEING PLACED.

AND IF YOU CONSIDER THIS AS A SINGLE LOGO, IT WOULD BE HIGHER THAN WHAT WOULD BE THEIR TALLER THAT WOULD THAN WHAT WOULD BE PERMITTED FOR THIS LOGO OR FOR THE PERMITTED LETTER HEIGHT ON THIS FACADE THEY'RE PROPOSING 48 INCH TALL.

AND FOR THIS PARTICULAR FACADE, IT WOULD BE RESTRICTED TO 20IN.

ON THE EASTERN FACADE, THE SIGN TYPE, OF COURSE, AS MENTIONED ON BOTH, GIVEN IT'S A CABINET SIGN WITH INSET LETTERS. ALSO IN CONSIDERATION OF IT, IF IT WERE CONSIDERED LOGO, IT WOULD BE 18IN TALLER ON THE EAST ELEVATION THAN WHAT WOULD BE PERMITTED. UM, THESE ARE SOME OF THE ADJOINING SIGNS CAPITAL GRILLE WENT THROUGH.

SIGN VARIANTS AND THIS HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF WHAT WAS REQUESTED AS PART OF THE CAPITAL GRILLE.

SO WE HAVE VARIANCES ON THE BUILDING ALREADY? THAT IS CORRECT.

CAN CHOOSE? YES, SIR. DO YOU HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS THIS, A PUSH THROUGH CABINET SIGN? MAY I? GOOGLE IMAGED IT.

I COULDN'T. SURE, IT WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

UH, WELL, NOT TO SHORT CIRCUIT.

YEAH. THIS IS ONE IN TOWN SQUARE.

THE OSEKI SIGN.

IT'S BASICALLY LIKE A CABINET PANEL AND THEN HAS LETTERS PUSHED THROUGH THE CABINET ITSELF THAT ARE BACKLIT INTERNALLY. I'M NOT SURE I HAVE A BETTER EXAMPLE.

SO, DENNIS, DOES THAT MEAN THE LETTERS STICK OUT FROM THE SIGN? IS THAT WHAT. THAT'S CORRECT. YES, IT MAKES SENSE.

YEAH. SO.

OKAY. SO WE HAVE DONE IT BEFORE.

BUT IN TOWNE SQUARE, IS THAT APPROVED IN TOWNE SQUARE? IS THAT THE THING? THAT'S ONE THAT IS PERMITTED IN TOWNE SQUARE, JUST GIVEN THEIR THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THEIR MASTER SIGN PLAN? YEAH. AND HAVE WE GRANTED THAT VARIANCE ANYWHERE ELSE, DO YOU KNOW? UH, AND IN A FEW INSTANCES MAYBE WHERE CABINET SIGN WAS THE PRIMARY SIGN AND.

UM. OKAY.

MAYBE THE.

I'M LACKING ONE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD BESIDES WHAT WE HAD IN CLOSE VICINITY OF THIS.

OKAY. I HAVE A QUESTION.

IF WE'RE CONSIDERING THE WHOLE SIGN, THE THE SIZE, WHAT'S THE ACTUAL SIZE OF THE LETTERS?

[01:10:03]

IS A LITTLE OVER EIGHT INCHES.

YEAH. OKAY.

I DON'T I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SIZE JUST LOOKING AT IT.

THEY'RE LOW. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANKS, DENNIS. APPRECIATE IT.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE? COME ON DOWN. IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD.

OKAY. CHRISTY HAMMONDS, GREENWAY INVESTMENT COMPANY, 2808 FAIRMOUNT, DALLAS, TEXAS, WHERE THE OWNERS OF THE SHOPPING CENTER AND THE GENTS COULD NOT MAKE IT TONIGHT. SO I'M HERE IN THEIR PLACE.

AND THEY ARE REALLY IT'S A IT'S IT'S A LITTLE BIT UNUSUAL JUST BECAUSE WE WERE MOVING THE LANDLORD WAS MOVING THE GENTS OVER FOR THE CAPITAL GRILLE. AND I HAD ENGAGED A SIGN COMPANY TO GO MOVE THEIR EXISTING SIGN OVER AND HE WENT OUT THERE AND BY THE TIME HE GOT THERE, THE CAPITAL GRILLE CONTRACTORS HAD TAKEN IT OFF THE BUILDING AND DISPOSED OF IT.

SO WE WERE WITHOUT A SIGN.

AND SO THIS IS A SIGN THAT THEY USE ON THERE IS ONE OF THEIR FAVORITE LOGOS THAT THEY USE.

ANYWAY, THIS SIGN THEY HAD A SIGN THAT THEY BROUGHT OVER FROM THAT.

SO THEY CAME IN FOR THAT.

SO WE WERE TRYING TO GET A VARIANCE TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT SIGN.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ENDED UP.

SO. IS THE SUN ALREADY BUILT? YES, IT'S BUILT.

YEAH, THE SIGN. THE SIGN CAME FROM ANOTHER.

ANOTHER PLACE.

ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR STORES, I THINK.

SO, YEAH, IT'S ALREADY BUILT, SO.

GOTCHA. GOTCHA. OKAY.

OKAY. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR APPLICANT? THANK YOU SO MUCH. MAY I CALL YOU BACK UP? THOUGHTS? WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK? I'M OKAY WITH IT. WHEN I FIRST SAW THE PUSH THROUGH LETTER, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS.

IT'S SOMETHING NEW.

EXCEPT FOR THE ONE LOCATION IN TOWN SQUARE.

BUT LOOKING AT IT AND I THINK HAVING THE INTERNAL LIGHTING, I THINK EASES MY CONCERNS ABOUT GOING WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

SO I'M OKAY WITH IT.

AND THE SIZE.

I'M OKAY WITH IT AS WELL.

YEAH, I LIKE IT.

IT LOOKS VERY UNOBTRUSIVE ON THE FACE OF IT.

SO YEAH, THE WHOLE THING DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL EITHER.

AND I CONCUR WITH SEAN WITH THE THE LIGHTING.

I THINK IT'S GREAT.

YEAH. OKAY. EVERYONE'S IN A GOOD SIGN.

MOOD. BETTER GET A MOTION BEFORE BEFORE WE HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION.

GO AHEAD, SIR. YOU READY FOR THIS MOTION THIS TIME? I'M LISTENING TO YOUR MOTION THIS TIME.
