May 07, 2024 City Council

[1. Call to order.]

[00:00:06]

OKAY, PARTY PEOPLE, I THINK IT'S TIME TO GAVEL THIS MEETING IN.

AND FOR THE LAST TIME, I'M MAYOR JOHN HUFFMAN, AND I AM CALLING TONIGHT'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO ORDER.

AND WE ALL KNOW WHY WE ARE HERE.

THIS IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLY EXCITING NIGHT.

AND I'LL TELL YOU, WE'RE GOING TO START IT JUST LIKE WE'VE STARTED EVERY SINGLE COUNCIL MEETING, 217 COUNCIL MEETINGS SINCE I'VE BEEN ON CITY COUNCIL STARTING IN 2015 A ND THAT IS GOING TO GOD AND ASKING HIM FOR WISDOM AND FOR GRACE AND FOR PEACE AS WE UNDERTAKE THE CITY'S BUSINESS WITH OUR CITY CHAPLAIN, CLAY REED AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO DO THE PLEDGES TO THE GREATEST COUNTRY AND THE GREATEST STATE ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH.

SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE RISE AND JOIN US FOR THE INVOCATION AND THE PLEDGES PASTOR REED.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. LET'S PRAY.

DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE GIVE THANKS FOR THIS EVENING AND WE START BY GIVING THANKS TO YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE GOOD AND YOU HAVE BEEN SO GOOD TO US.

YOU'VE GIVEN US LIFE AND FREEDOM AND PEACE AND STRENGTH AND HEALTH.

AND SO TONIGHT WE JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS, FOR YOUR GOODNESS TO US, AND MOST OF ALL, FOR SENDING YOUR SON JESUS.

LORD WE PRAY TONIGHT FOR OUR CURRENT MAYOR.

AND I JUST PRAY THAT YOU WOULD BLESS JOHN AND HIS WIFE AND FAMILY AS HE TRANSITIONS.

THANK YOU. JOIN US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

AND THE TEXAS PLEDGE.

HONOR THE TEXAS FLAG, I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THEE, TEXAS, ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE INDIVISIBLE.

ALL RIGHT. PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEAT.

SO BEFORE WE GET INTO THE FESTIVITIES, WE HAVE ONE ITEM ON OUR WORK SESSION, AND IT'S ACTUALLY SUPER SPECIAL TO ME THAT WE GET TO DO THIS IN MY VERY LAST WORK SESSION ITEM.

[3. Honors & Recognition: Proclamation recognizing Water Safety Month]

YOU ALL KNOW WHO SHE IS.

GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO MISS LORI CERAMI [APPLAUSE].

MISS LORI THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

IF YOU COULD PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING TONIGHT, HONORING WATER SAFETY MONTH, AND THEN ALSO YOUR UPCOMING SWIM4ELISE.

TAKE IT AWAY. AWESOME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT ELISE AND WATER SAFETY AND THE SWIM4ELISE FOUNDATION.

I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF YOU.

I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS COMMUNITY THAT JUST CONTINUES TO ALLOW ME TO TALK ABOUT HER AND RAISE AWARENESS SO THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, BRING VIGILANCE TO SOMETHING THAT'S SO IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY TO OUR CHILDREN IN THIS COMMUNITY.

SO THE SWIM4ELISE FOUNDATION CELEBRATES THE MONTH OF MAY WITH WATER SAFETY MONTH.

IT'S NATIONAL WATER SAFETY MONTH AND MAY 15TH IS INTERNATIONAL WATER SAFETY DAY.

SO WE TRY TO HAVE OUR BIG PLATFORM FOR WATER SAFETY AROUND THE TIME THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE MOST TALKING ABOUT WATER SAFETY AND WE'RE GOING INTO THE WARMER MONTHS. AND SO IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AS WE'RE HEADING INTO THE SUMMER.

OUR DAUGHTER ELISE, IN THIS PICTURE ON THE RIGHT SHE LOVED THE WATER.

SHE WAS SEVEN AND BEGGING US TO JOIN THE SWIM TEAM, AND I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO USE A SWIM CAP OR A PAIR OF GOGGLES.

AND HER TARGET SWIMSUIT WAS NOT GOING TO CUT IT FOR COMPETITIONS.

[00:05:03]

AND SOMEHOW SHE LEARNED.

AND I BECAME A GREAT SWIM MOM.

AND IT'S REALLY THROUGH OUR JOURNEY WITH HER THAT WE REALIZED HOW HOW DROWNING IS SUCH A PROBLEM IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

WE HAD OUR TRAGEDY WITH HER IN JUNE OF 2016, SO WE'RE ON EIGHT YEARS WITHOUT HER.

AND IT'S AT THAT POINT THAT I LEARNED THAT DROWNING WAS THE NUMBER ONE ACCIDENTAL CAUSE OF DEATH OF KIDS AGES 1 TO 4.

IT'S THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY A CHILD MAY NOT START KINDERGARTEN.

AND WHEN I TALK ABOUT IT, I GET SUPER EMOTIONAL BECAUSE I HAVE TO PUT THESE STATISTICS T HESE ARE REAL FAMILIES, AND THIS IS JUST SINCE JANUARY.

AND THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE THE DROWNING THAT JUST HAPPENED ON SUNDAY, A FOUR YEAR OLD BOY WHO GOT SWEPT AWAY BY FLOODWATERS.

SO WE HAVE 16 CHILDREN ALREADY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS WHO HAVE FATAL DROWNINGS.

FOR EVERY ONE OF THESE, THERE'S 5 TO 8 TIMES MORE.

THAT NUMBER THAT HAVE A VISIT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR A NON-FATAL DROWNING THAT NOW USUALLY HAS SOME KIND OF NEUROLOGICAL IMPAIRMENT BECAUSE DROWNING IS A BRAIN INJURY.

AND THEN YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T FUNCTION THE SAME WAY YOU DID BEFORE THE DROWNING.

THE THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IN THIS SLIDE IS GENDER M STANDS FOR MALE, F IS FEMALE.

YOU CAN COUNT THE NUMBER OF BOYS THAT ARE ON THIS LIST, AND I OFTEN GET ASKED, WELL, WHY IS IT THAT WE SEE MORE BOYS THAT ARE IN THIS CATEGORY THAN GIRLS? I THINK MAYBE IT HAS TO DO WITH HOW WE RAISE OUR BOYS AND OUR GIRLS.

WE OFTEN HAVE OUR BOYS MORE ADVENTUROUS, MORE DAREDEVILS.

AND SO IT'S SAID THAT HALF OF THE DROWNING NUMBERS ARE MORE ARE ARE FOR BOYS.

IN THIS SLIDE YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S FAR MORE BOYS THAN THAN GIRLS.

THE OTHER THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IS THE AGES AND WHERE THE BODY OF WATER IS.

AND THE REASON I POINT THIS OUT IS BECAUSE IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE STATISTICS, THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THAT RISK, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT AGES 1 TO 4 ARE TYPICALLY BACKYARD POOLS AND AGES THE 17 YEAR OLDS THAT ARE ON THIS LIST OFTEN THAT'S OPEN WATER.

SO AS MUCH AS OUR CHILDREN ARE OF YOUNGER AGES, ARE DROWNING IN CLOSED, CONTAINED BODIES OF WATER, OUR OLDER CHILDREN ARE JUST AT RISK IN OPEN BODIES OF WATER. AND WHEN WE GO INTO DAYCARES, WE DO SHOW THEM HOW TO TRY ON A LIFE JACKET.

AND WE HAVE THIS GREAT PICTURE JUST THIS PAST YEAR OF A LITTLE BOY TRYING ON A LIFE JACKET.

YOU CAN SEE BEHIND MY TEACHER THERE'S AN ORANGE, AND THAT ORANGE SHOWS THEM WHEN THEY'RE WEARING THEIR PROTECTED SKIN THAT THEY FLOAT, AND WHEN THE ORANGE DOESN'T HAVE ITS SKIN ON THAT IT SINKS. AND SO THEY GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF OF HOW LIFE JACKETS WORK.

BUT THIS WATER SAFETY TIP HERE REMINDS YOU OF ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN PUT LAYERS OF WATER SAFETY IN PLACE OUTSIDE OF, YOU KNOW, SWIM BUDDIES AND WATER WATCHERS.

THROWING AN ITEM TO SOMEBODY WHO'S IN DISTRESS VERSUS GOING IN AFTER THEM.

YOU KNOW, NOT HAVING TOYS IN THE WATER THAT CAN OFTEN PULL SOMEONE IN TO BE ATTRACTED TO THE WATER.

AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE TOYS LEFT OVER.

AND THEN WITH BOATING, DEFINITELY HAVING THE LIFE JACKET IN ADDITION TO LEARNING HOW TO SWIM.

DROWNING ISN'T JUST A PROBLEM FOR PEDIATRICS OR THE STATE OF TEXAS, THOUGH CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA ARE PROBABLY RIGHT BEHIND US.

DROWNING IS A WORLDWIDE PROBLEM.

AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DROWN EACH YEAR.

AND SO IT REALLY IS SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION IS ALWAYS LOOKING AT, AND IT'S STILL THE TEN IN THE TOP TEN FOR LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH OF KIDS, EVEN THROUGH 24.

I'M PRETTY SURE THE FRONTAL LOBE IS NOT QUITE DEVELOPED UNTIL AFTER 24, SO I'LL CALL THEM KIDS.

I AM HOLDING IN THIS PICTURE A WATER WATCHER CARD AND WE SHARE THIS WITH CHILDREN ALL SUMMER.

IT'S A WATER SAFETY PARTNERSHIP, SO WE TELL KIDS TO ALWAYS GO GET YOUR BRACELET BEFORE YOU GO NEAR THE WATER, AND THAT THIS IS MOM AND DAD'S WATER WATCHER AND THAT THEY GO TOGETHER.

IT'S A PARTNERSHIP TWO THINGS THAT GO BETTER TOGETHER.

AND YOU NEED A WATER SAFETY PARTNERSHIP WHEN IT COMES TO WATCHING THE WATER, YOU CAN'T SAVE WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE AND DROWNING IS SILENT.

SO YOU NEED TO BE WATCHING THE WATER TO PREVENT A DROWNING.

SO WE DO THAT IN THE DAYCARES.

WE WILL HAVE REACHED OVER 30,000 CHILDREN BY THE END OF THE SUMMER WITH THE CLASSROOM EDUCATION THAT WE PROVIDE, AND WE WILL HAVE PROVIDED

[00:10:07]

IT WAS MY DAUGHTER'S TEAMMATES THAT PULLED HER OUT OF THE WATER.

SO WE WANTED TO EMPOWER AND EQUIP THOSE KIDS, AND WE DO ALL OF THAT WORK FOR FREE.

WE DON'T CHARGE FOR ANY OF IT.

WE DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE A REASON WHY THE KIDS DIDN'T HAVE THE MESSAGE, BUT WE DO FUND THAT THROUGH THE UPCOMING EVENT, THE RUN4ELISE.

SO I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT COMES OUT AND SUPPORTS US AND JUST THE SPONSORS THAT WE HAVE.

THEY COME BACK YEAR AFTER YEAR AND THEY SUPPORT THIS CAUSE.

AND I CAN'T THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH FOR LETTING ME CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT HER.

WELL THANK YOU LORI. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE LOVE YOU. WE LOVE YOUR FAMILY.

AND YOU KNOW, I'VE SAID THIS TO YOU A MILLION TIMES PUBLICLY, BUT YOU'RE JUST AN INSPIRATION AND A HERO TO ALL OF US.

THE FACT THAT YOU'VE TAKEN THIS INCREDIBLE TRAGEDY AND TURNED IT INTO SOMETHING SO, SO, SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO HELPFUL, YOU ARE LITERALLY SAVING LIVES AND.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE LETTERS ON THE AQUATIC CENTER? IT'S AMAZING. IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

YOU SHOULD BE INCREDIBLY PROUD.

WE ALL ARE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU.

COUNCIL ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS BEFORE WE READ THIS PROCLAMATION? ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO READ A PROCLAMATION THEN IF IT'S OKAY, ONE LAST PICTURE DOWN HERE.

OF COURSE. SO WHEREAS THE CITIZENS OF SOUTHLAKE RECOGNIZE MORE THAN ANY THE VITAL ROLE THAT SWIMMING AND AQUATIC RELATED ACTIVITIES RELATE TO GOOD PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH AND ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL PEOPLE.

AND WHEREAS IT IS UNDERSTOOD THE ESSENTIAL PART THAT WATER SAFETY EDUCATION PLAYS IN PREVENTING DROWNING AND RECREATIONAL WATER RELATED INJURIES.

AND WHEREAS THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE IS AWARE OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY THE RECREATIONAL WATER INDUSTRY TO PROVIDE PROGRAMS AND HEALTHY PLACES TO RECREATE, LEARN AND GROW AND BUILD SELF-ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE, AND ALSO A SENSE OF SELF-WORTH WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WHEREAS IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE INFORMATION ABOUT WATER SAFETY RULES AND PROGRAMS TO FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES, INCLUDING PRIVATE POOL OWNERS OR VISITORS TO PUBLIC FACILITIES, LAKES AND WATER PARKS.

AND NOW I.

THEREFORE, I, MAYOR JOHN HUFFMAN, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF MAY 2024 AS WATER SAFETY MONTH IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE [APPLAUSE].

THANK YOU LORI. THANK YOU MIC] OKAY,

SO AS WE TAKE THESE OATHS OF OFFICE, I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR COMING OUT TODAY, FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALIKE, TO SUPPORT THESE INCREDIBLE PUBLIC SERVANTS.

YOU KNOW, PUBLIC SERVICE, WHEN IT'S DONE RIGHT, IS LIKE RUNNING A RELAY RACE WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO RUN, YOU GRAB THE BATON AND YOU RUN YOUR LEG AS HARD AND AS FAST AS YOU CAN, AND THEN YOU HAND IT OFF TO YOUR TEAMMATE AND HOPE THAT YOUR EFFORTS HAVE SET THE TEAM UP FOR FUTURE SUCCESS.

AND THEN YOU GET TO CHEER FROM THE SIDELINES.

I THINK SHE WILL DO AN AMAZING JOB.

SHE'S A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE FROM THE CITY.

SHE HAS SERVED THIS CITY IMMENSELY OVER THE PAST DECADES, AND I THINK THAT IT WILL BE S HE'LL BE AN AMAZING ADDITION TO THIS COUNCIL.

I THINK THE NEXT THREE YEARS ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR SOUTHLAKE.

I THINK WE ARE FACED WITH A SITUATION WHERE WE'VE GOT TO RECRUIT BUSINESS TO SOUTHLAKE.

WE'VE GOT TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP FOR SOUTHLAKE.

WE HAVE TO DO THE THINGS THAT MAKE SOUTHLAKE WHAT WE ARE AND DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CONTINUE THE SUCCESS THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED OVER THE OVER THE PAST DECADES.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, FIRST I WANT TO THANK JUDGE MONTGOMERY, WHO PERFORMED THE OATH OF OFFICE.

WE WERE TALKING EARLIER TODAY THAT THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME, GOING BACK TO 2015, THAT JUDGE MONTGOMERY HAS PERFORMED THE OATH OF OFFICE.

AND AND IT'S SPECIAL EVERY TIME.

IT'S EVEN REALLY MORE SPECIAL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, JUDGE MONTGOMERY AND I NOTED THAT WE BOTH LOOK THE SAME AS WE DID IN 2015, WHICH IS REALLY GREAT.

BUT I APPRECIATE JUDGE MONTGOMERY AND HER SERVICE TO THE CITY, ESPECIALLY TONIGHT.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK, AS THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE, THANK OUR CITY STAFF, CITY MANAGER ALISON ORLOWSKI, CITY SECRETARY AMY SHELLEY, COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR PILAR

[00:30:05]

THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS, A LOT OF LEGWORK THAT GOES INTO IT, AND IT'S SPECIAL EVERY TIME, WHETHER YOU'RE BEING SWORN IN OR JUST PART OF THE DAIS, TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO IT. IT'S REALLY GREAT THAT YOU GUYS JUST TAKE IT AND WE JUST HAVE TO KIND OF SHOW UP.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON THAT.

IT'S A TRUE BLESSING TO LIVE IN SOUTHLAKE.

AND FOR US, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A BLESSING TO RAISE OUR FOUR KIDS HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, ALL OF THEM AS DRAGONS.

ALL FOUR OF OUR KIDS STARTED AT CARROLL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON CONTINENTAL, AND TWO OF OUR KIDS ARE KINDER GRADS AND HAVE GONE ON TO SMU, AND TWO WILL SOON BE KINDER GRADS.

I WANT TO THANK CISD, AND I SEE CAM AND ANDREW AND ERIC HERE.

WE'VE HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE AT CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT ALL THE WAY THROUGH IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS ATHLETICS, SPECIAL ED, EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

AND WE'VE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE OUR KIDS BE DRAGONS.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO CISD AND I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT.

IN SOUTHLAKE WE SAY PROTECT THE TRADITION AND SOUTHLAKE IS A SPECIAL PLACE BECAUSE OF GREAT LEADERS WHO I'M PROUD TO CALL MY FRIENDS.

ESPECIALLY MAYORS GARY FICKES, WHO SERVED FROM 1989 TO 1996.

RICK STACY, WHO SERVED FROM 1996 TO 2003.

ANDY WAMBSGANSS, WHO SERVED FROM 2003 TO 2009.

JOHN TERRELL, WHO IS HERE TONIGHT WHO SERVED FROM 2009 TO 2015.

LAURA HILL, WHO SERVED FROM 2015 TO 2021, AND, OF COURSE, MAYOR JOHN HUFFMAN, WHO SERVED FROM 2021 TO 2024.

THESE MAYORS HAVE LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY HELPED BUILD OUR SOUTHLAKE COMMUNITY, AND THEY HAVE ALL SET A VERY HIGH STANDARD FOR SERVING AS MAYOR, AND I WILL DO MY VERY BEST TO LIVE UP TO THAT TRADITION AND TO LIVE UP TO THEIR STANDARDS.

AND I'M GRATEFUL TO HAVE SERVED AND LEARNED UNDER OUR LAST THREE MAYORS.

MAYOR TERRELL APPOINTED ME TO THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT BACK IN 2010, AND TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SOMETIME THEREAFTER, AND GAVE ME MY OPPORTUNITY TO GET INVOLVED IN SOUTHLAKE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

SO THANK YOU, MAYOR TERRELL.

MAYOR LAURA HILL CAMPAIGNED WITH ME DURING MY FIRST ELECTION RACE IN 2015, WHEN SHE WAS ELECTED THE FIRST WOMAN MAYOR IN SOUTHLAKE IN 2015, SHE ALSO GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AS DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM AND MAYOR PRO TEM.

SO LAURA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.

MAYOR HUFFMAN WELL, HE GAVE ME MY FIRST ELECTION OPPONENT.

IT WAS HIM. THANKS A LOT, JOHN.

BUT THANKFULLY, AND I KNOW IT'S AN OLD JOKE, BUT THANKFULLY, EVEN THOUGH WE FILED AGAINST EACH OTHER BRIEFLY FOR 24 HOURS, THERE WAS TWO SPOTS OPEN AND WE ENDED UP RUNNING FOR DIFFERENT SPOTS. WE WERE BOTH ELECTED IN 2015 AND THE REST REALLY IS HISTORY.

BUT A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR FRIENDS ELIZABETH AND JOHN HUFFMAN.

THEY HAVE DEDICATED THE PAST NINE YEARS OF THEIR LIVES TO SERVE SOUTHLAKE.

AND OUR COMMUNITY IS BLESSED AND BETTER BECAUSE OF THEIR SERVICE.

THE OTHER NIGHT AT THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER OUR PASTOR, TODD RENNER FROM WHITE CHAPEL PRAYED FOR MY FAMILY.

AND THEN JOHN PRAYED FOR US AS WELL.

AND IT WAS AT THAT MOMENT, EVEN THOUGH WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING, IT CAME REAL AT THAT MOMENT THAT AFTER SERVING TOGETHER FOR THE BETTER PART OF NINE YEARS, THAT WE WOULD NOT BE SERVING TOGETHER ANYMORE.

BUT I BELIEVE THE HUFFMAN'S ARE TRUE SERVANTS, AND THEIR SERVICE TO SOUTHLAKE OR WHATEVER COMMUNITY THEY CHOOSE WILL CONTINUE AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE GREAT.

I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT'S NEXT FOR ELIZABETH AND JOHN HUFFMAN, AND GOD BLESS YOU BOTH FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

I'M THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL FOR ALL THESE MAYORS AND ALL THE CURRENT AND FORMER CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO HAVE SERVED WITH ME SINCE 2015, AND WHO HAVE ALL HELPED ME IN SOME WAY TO BE THE BEST PUBLIC SERVANT I COULD BE.

I KNOW THAT THE GREAT WORK OF OUR CURRENT CITY COUNCIL AND THEIR SUPPORT EARLIER THIS YEAR CARRIED THE DAY FOR ME TO BE IN THIS POSITION TONIGHT.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SERVING WITH ALL OF YOU.

I WANT TO CONGRATULATE AGAIN OUR NEW COUNCIL MEMBER, FRANCES SCHARLI.

WELCOME TO THE TEAM. AFTER MANY YEARS OF SERVING SOUTHLAKE AS OUR PARKS BOARD CHAIRPERSON AND IN OTHER CAPACITIES, OTHER COMMITTEES, WELCOME WELCOME TO THE TEAM.

WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

AND ALSO, COUNCIL MEMBER RANDY ROBBINS, WHO WAS ELECTED TO A NEW THREE YEAR TERM.

RANDY HAS REALLY JUMPED IN WITH BOTH FEET AND TO SEE HOW HE HAS REALLY EMBRACED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ALONG WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCES AND SIGN CASES AND ALL THAT. BUT HE HAS DEMONSTRATED A TRUE EXPERTISE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

AND I AGREE WITH YOUR POINT EARLIER ABOUT THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO FOCUS ON.

AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO VOLUNTEER YOU TO LEAD THAT CHARGE.

SO THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP.

I'M THANKFUL FOR ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED LAURA AND I IN OUR CITY COUNCIL SERVICE, WORKING ON OUR CAMPAIGNS, HOSTING EVENTS, WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT OVER THE YEARS WHICH HAVE BEEN MUCH APPRECIATED.

[00:35:01]

I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY FRIENDS AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

SOME OF THEM ARE HERE, INCLUDING OUR INCOMING CHAIRMAN KUSH RAO.

MARK GUILBERT, THE PRESIDENT, WHEN I JOINED THE CHAMBER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, IT'S BEEN SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE MEETING SO MANY PEOPLE HERE IN OUR LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY WHO REALLY CARE ABOUT SOUTHLAKE AS MUCH AS THE PEOPLE UP HERE ON THE DAIS DO.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH OUR LOCAL CHURCHES AND OUR LOCAL CHARITIES TO SUPPORT AND PROVIDE EVEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR SENIOR CITIZENS AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND SPECIAL NEEDS.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT SOUTHLAKE IS A SPECIAL PLACE.

LET'S REMEMBER THAT WE'RE ALL NEIGHBORS HERE IN THE BUBBLE AND WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

NOW TO CONCLUDE, I LOVE PRESIDENTIAL QUOTES AND THIS ONE FROM PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH.

I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL, AND I'M GOING TO TAKE PARTS OF IT IN THE INTEREST OF TIME.

PRESIDENT BUSH SAID AMERICA'S GREATEST CHALLENGE HAS LONG BEEN TO UNITE PEOPLE A VERY DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS INTO A SINGLE NATION OF JUSTICE AND OPPORTUNITY. THE ANSWERS TO AMERICAN PROBLEMS ARE FOUND BY LIVING UP TO AMERICAN IDEALS, TO THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH THAT ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE CREATED EQUAL AND ENDOWED BY GOD WITH CERTAIN RIGHTS.

THIS WILL REQUIRE A CONSISTENT, COURAGEOUS AND CREATIVE EFFORT.

WE SERVE OUR NEIGHBORS BEST WHEN WE TRY TO UNDERSTAND THEIR EXPERIENCE.

WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS AS OURSELVES WHEN WE TREAT THEM AS EQUALS IN BOTH PROTECTION AND COMPASSION.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY.

THE WAY OF EMPATHY AND SHARED COMMITMENT AND BOLD ACTION AND A PEACE ROOTED IN JUSTICE.

I AM CONFIDENT THAT TOGETHER, AMERICANS WILL CHOOSE THE BETTER WAY AND SOUTHLAKE WILL CHOOSE THE BETTER WAY.

GOD BLESS SOUTHLAKE AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.

[3.B. City Manager’s Report]

THE FIRST ITEM BEING I'M GOING TO ASK OUR DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO STEP FORWARD.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR DEPUTY BUILDING OFFICIAL, CHARLIE WRIGHT.

IS HE HERE? YES HE IS CHARLIE.

STEP FORWARD. SO MAY IS BUILDING SAFETY MONTH, AND THEY ARE GOING TO PROVIDE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THAT ENTAILS FROM A CITY PERSPECTIVE AND WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT.

CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY I WANTED TO INTRODUCE OUR STAFF THAT'S HERE WITH US THIS EVENING.

MONTH OF MAY IS BUILDING SAFETY MONTH, AND WE'VE GOT AN INCREDIBLE BUILDING INSPECTIONS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT STAFF THAT KEEPS OUR BUILDINGS AND PROPERTIES SAFE. WITH US THIS EVENING GOT OUR CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL, MIKE WHITE ON THE FRONT ROW BEHIND ME.

AND WITH US THIS EVENING IS OUR DEPUTY BUILDING OFFICIAL, OUR FIELD OPERATIONS, CHARLIE WRIGHT.

AND HE'S GOING TO PROVIDE THE COUNCIL AND AUDIENCE A PRESENTATION FOR THIS MONTH'S BUILDING AND SAFETY MONTH.

COME ON UP. YEAH.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TONIGHT I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF RECOGNIZING THE MONTH OF MAY AS BUILDING SAFETY MONTH.

ACTUALLY, I NEED TO ADVANCE THE SLIDE.

CAN I? OH, PERFECT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL AND ITS MANY PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD COME TOGETHER EACH YEAR DURING THE MONTH OF MAY TO CELEBRATE BUILDING SAFETY MONTH.

WE EDUCATE AND RAISE AWARENESS ON HOW BUILDING CODES AND BUILDING CODE PROFESSIONALS ENSURE SAFETY WHERE WE LIVE, WORK AND PLAY.

THIS YEAR'S THEME IS ENTITLED MISSION POSSIBLE.

THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL IDENTIFIED FIVE CORE THEMES THAT WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF MAY.

IT'S BROKEN INTO ALL FIVE WEEKS THIS YEAR, WHICH INCLUDES UNDERSTANDING THE MISSION, PREPARING A BUILDING SAFETY PLAN, LEARNING FROM THE PROS, ENGAGING YOUR COMMUNITY, AND CELEBRATING SUCCESS IN BUILDING SAFETY.

THE FIRST WEEK IS ALL ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS OF BUILDING SAFETY AND SHARING A BIT OF BUILDING SAFETY SHARING WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

BUILDING SAFETY IS A COMPREHENSIVE MISSION THAT IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER FOR POSITIVE CHANGE.

SOME OF THE DISCIPLINES ARE LISTED HERE IN THIS GRAPHIC COVERS BUILDING, FIRE, PLUMBING, MECHANICAL, FUEL, GAS POOLS, ELECTRICAL, ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY.

RENOVATIONS, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE.

CONSTRUCTION, PERMITTING AND PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT.

ALL COMMUNITIES NEED BUILDING CODES TO PROTECT THEIR CITIZENS FROM HAZARDS LIKE FIRES, WEATHER RELATED EVENTS AND STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE.

BUILDING CODES ARE SOCIETY'S BEST WAY OF PROTECTING HOMES, OFFICES, SCHOOLS, MANUFACTURING FACILITIES, STORES AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUES.

BUILDING SAFETY PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING CODE OFFICERS CODE OFFICIALS WORK DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE. IN WEEK TWO PREPARING A BUILDING SAFETY PLAN FOR FIRE SAFETY, ALARM SAFETY, ELECTRICAL SAFETY POOL AND WATER SAFETY ARE KEYS HIGHLIGHTED IN WEEK TWO.

WEEK TWO ACTUALLY IS THE ONLY WEEK THAT HAS TWO GRAPHICS.

BRIEFLY, I'LL TOUCH ON THE TWO GRAPHICS SO WE CAN MOVE THROUGH IT.

SOME OF THE WAYS YOU CAN PREPARE A BUILDING SAFETY PLAN AT HOME IS TO PUT SMOKE ALARMS AND DETECTORS IN AND OUTSIDE OF EVERY SLEEPING ROOM IN THE HOUSE.

TEST EACH SMOKE ALARM REGULARLY.

DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AT 3 A.M.

WHEN THEY START CHIRPING AT YOU.

AND KEEP THE BATTERIES FRESH BY REPLACING THEM ANNUALLY.

IN FIRE SAFETY COURSES, THEY'LL TEACH YOU THAT A GOOD WAY IS TO ATTACH IT TO ANOTHER REMINDER, SUCH AS WHEN WE SET THE CLOCKS BACK OR FORWARD.

[00:50:09]

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE KEPT CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS BY AT LEAST THREE FEET.

AND KEEP COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM YOUR HOME, DRY LEAVES, GRASS, VEGETATION.

ON THE SECOND SLIDE OF WEEK TWO, IT TALKS MORE ABOUT DISASTER PREPAREDNESS.

ACCORDING TO FEMA, ONE OF THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO SAFEGUARD OUR COMMUNITIES AGAINST DISASTERS IS TO ADOPT AND FOLLOW HAZARD RESISTANT BUILDING CODES.

IT'S AN INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHICH DISASTERS YOU ARE AT AN INCREASED RISK FOR AND HOW TO MITIGATE THOSE RISKS BY LEVERAGING TIPS AND BUILDING CODES SPECIFIC TO EACH DISASTER.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO DEVELOP A FAMILY ACTION PLAN.

THESE THESE TYPES OF PLANS ARE ARE A PART OF THE BUILDING CODE PROCESS FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.

BUT EACH INDIVIDUAL FAMILY HAS TO TAKE THEIR OWN STEPS IN RESIDENTIAL HOUSES.

SO DEVELOP A FAMILY ACTION PLAN, REVIEW AT LEAST TWO EXIT ROUTES FROM YOUR HOUSE AND HAVE A DESIGNATED MEETING PLACE FOR YOUR FAMILY.

ANOTHER THING THEY TEACH IN FIRE SAFETY COURSES IS THAT MAY NOT THAT MEETING PLACE MAY NOT BE IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE.

IT MAY BE IN FRONT OF YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.

SET THAT PLACE SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MAY NOT BE POSTED UP BETWEEN FIRST RESPONDERS AND AN EMERGENCY.

SO IN FRONT OF YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE IS SOMETHING THAT THEY TEACH.

CREATE A DISASTER KIT THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO REMAIN IN YOUR HOME AFTER A DISASTER OR AFTER EVACUATING TO A SAFER LOCATION.

STAY TUNED TO RADIO OR TV FOR OFFICIAL UPDATES.

AND THERE IS AT THE END OF THIS, THERE IS ACTUALLY A LIST OUR WEB, OUR WEBSITE AND THE SOUTHLAKE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SITE HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES FOR PLANNING AND EMERGENCY PLAN.

ALERT SOUTHLAKE WEB PAGES ONE SOUTHLAKE HAZARDS, WEB PAGES AND OTHER.

THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN IS A GOOD RESOURCE.

SO WEEK THREE LEARNING FROM THE PROS.

BUILDING SAFETY PROFESSIONALS ARE THE SILENT DEFENDERS OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

BUILDING SAFETY PROFESSIONALS INCLUDE BUILDING INSPECTORS, CODE OFFICERS, BUILDING OFFICIALS, PLANS EXAMINERS, PERMIT TECHNICIANS, FIRE INSPECTORS, AND FIRE MARSHALS.

WE TRAIN CONSTANTLY TO KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST CODES, WHICH ARE ALWAYS CHANGING.

WE ENFORCE CODE COMPLIANCE TO EMPOWER AND EDUCATE PARTNERS TO EMBRACE AND INTEGRATE SAFETY STANDARDS INTO THEIR WORK, ENSURE THAT BUILDINGS ARE CONSTRUCTED TO WITHSTAND THE STRESS OF EVERYDAY USE AND NOT JUST EVERYDAY USE, BUT THEIR WORST DAY.

PERFORM INSPECTIONS DURING PROJECTS TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM EMERGENCIES BEFORE A FIRE, FLOOD, OR DISASTER STRIKE.

LEARNING FROM THE PROS ALSO TOUCHES ON SUPPORT HOW IT SUPPORTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY MAKING OUR BUILDING STURDIER AND THEREFORE THEY LAST LONGER.

AND THEY PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN COMMUNITY PLANNING DECISION MAKING MAKING A CONNECTION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT, BUSINESS AND BUILT ENVIRONMENTS.

WHEN TO CALL A PROFESSIONAL.

ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BUILDING SAFETY DEPARTMENT BEFORE BEGINNING HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

REQUIREMENTS VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

BUT SOUTHLAKE IS NO EXCEPTION, AND WE'RE ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP.

WEEK FOUR IS ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT.

GETTING INVOLVED BY ATTENDING ONE OF OUR BOARD MEETINGS IS A GREAT WAY TO ADVOCATE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY.

FROM CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS TO PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEETINGS, THEY'RE ALL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

OTHER ADVOCACY TIPS AND TRICKS IN WEEK FOUR HIGHLIGHTED ARE TALK TO PEOPLE IN YOUR NETWORK ABOUT BUILDING SAFETY, AND SHARE FACT BASED INFORMATION AND RESOURCES ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS.

SHARE BUILDING SAFETY INFORMATION OR CONCERNS WITH YOUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER WITH CITY STAFF.

PLANNED COMMUNITY EVENTS TO RAISE AWARENESS OR ATTEND LOCAL EVENTS ABOUT BUILDING SAFETY.

AND YOU CAN CONTACT THE CODE OFFICIALS IN YOUR AREA TO LEARN MORE ABOUT BUILDING INDUSTRY AND DISCOVER LOCAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.

IN WEEK FIVE, WE ARE CELEBRATING SUCCESS IN BUILDING SAFETY.

WE CELEBRATE OUR SUCCESS HERE IN SOUTHLAKE YEAR ROUND.

IT'S NOT JUST IN THE MONTH OF MAY.

[00:55:02]

THIS PHOTO ARE DEDICATED TEAM MEMBERS OF OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

EACH TEAM MEMBER STRIVES EVERY DAY TO KEEP SOUTHLAKE THE SAFE PLACE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN.

AND WITH THAT I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

AND THEN THERE FOR THE AUDIENCE IS A A BRIEF OVERVIEW SUMMARY OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED.

AND UP IN THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER ARE SOME OF THE NAMES OF THOSE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE.

THANK YOU, SIR, I APPRECIATE THAT.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? MAYOR, I WOULD JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT JUST REALLY COMPLIMENTING THIS DEPARTMENT AND CHARLIE, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS GROUP THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE WORKING DAILY KIND OF UNSEEN.

BUT THE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS HELP US TO AVOID AS HOMEOWNERS AND, AND BUSINESSES IS INVALUABLE.

AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. I'VE, I MEAN, I'VE HAD ONE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH CHARLIE MYSELF, WHERE I HAD AN ELECTRICIAN COME TO THE HOUSE AND LOOKED AT SOMETHING AND SAID, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR POOL. WE THINK YOU NEED A GFI HERE THAT YOU DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE.

AND I WAS LIKE, THAT POOL'S BEEN HERE A DECADE.

I SURE HOPE YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT THAT.

AND AND I WAS ABLE TO CALL AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW CHARLIE AT THE TIME.

AND AND YOU SWING BY, SWING BY THE HOUSE LATER AND TOOK A, YOU KNOW, SPENT TEN MINUTES, LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, NO, YOU'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.

YOU'VE GOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED HERE.

AND THE ELECTRICIAN WAS JUST LOOKING TO, TO SELL YOU SOMETHING.

BUT MY POINT IS, AS RESIDENTS, I KNOW THESE THIS DEPARTMENT IS WILLING TO HELP AND ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR YOU DO ANYTHING THEY CAN, AND IF THEY CAN'T, THEY CAN POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SO HATS OFF FOR A GREAT JOB.

ABSOLUTELY. WELL SAID.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. WHAT'S NEXT ALISON? YES. THANK YOU MAYOR.

SO MAY IS THE MONTH OF CELEBRATIONS, AND THE NEXT CELEBRATION THAT WE WILL BE HONORING IS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WEEK.

AND I'M GOING TO ASK DYLAN DUQUE TO STEP FORWARD OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM SPECIALIST.

AND HE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S IN STORE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WEEK, WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE MIDST OF.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO AS SHE MENTIONED, THIS WEEK IS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WEEK.

SO MY NAME IS DYLAN DUQUE, I'M THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM SPECIALIST.

SO I'D LIKE TO KIND OF EDUCATE Y'ALL A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS WEEK AND WHAT WE'RE DOING TO HELP OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND PROMOTE THEM.

AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE THRIVING HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

SO A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.

IEDC IS THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL.

SO THEY'VE BEEN DOING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WEEK FOR ABOUT EIGHT YEARS NOW.

SO THEY, OF COURSE, ARE CHAMPIONS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMMUNITY.

NOT ONLY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT JUST AROUND THE WORLD IN GENERAL.

SO THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING THE CORRECT RESOURCES, TOOLS, SERVICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT FOR ALL BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

THEY ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC ACHIEVEMENTS, WHICH HERE RECENTLY IN 2023, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY RECEIVED ECONOMIC EXCELLENCE AWARD.

AND SO THAT, OF COURSE, WAS SOMETHING THAT CAME BACK IN THE FALL.

AND SO THAT OPPORTUNITY HELPS TO DISCUSS FUTURE ECONOMIC ASPIRATIONS.

AND SO GETTING A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO HOW HERE IN SOUTHLAKE WE HELP OUR ECONOMY.

AS YOU CAN TELL, THERE'S OVER 2500 BUSINESSES HERE IN SOUTHLAKE THAT WE HAVE TO HELP PROMOTE.

WE WANT TO SEE THEM THRIVE HERE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT.

SO THE DIFFERENT FORMS AND FASHIONS, THERE'S VARIOUS WAYS THAT WE DO THAT.

WE HAVE OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT PROGRAM.

WE ALSO HAVE HERE RECENTLY WE JUST WRAPPED UP OUR SOUTHLAKE OPEN REWARDS PROGRAM THAT ACTUALLY JUST ENDED HERE RECENTLY.

AND WE SAW $75,000 ACTUALLY DISTRIBUTED TO ABOUT 2000 USERS.

AND THAT ACTUALLY HAD A $1.5 MILLION IMPACT ON THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.

SO LIKE I SAID, OVER 2500 BUSINESSES AND THEY OCCUPY ABOUT JUST UNDER 12 MILLION COMMERCIAL SPACE. AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE A $2.2 BILLION ECONOMIC IMPACT.

SO WE HAVE ABOUT 32, A LITTLE OVER 32,000 EMPLOYEES, OF COURSE THAT CALL SOUTHLAKE THEIR HOME TO WORK. AND SO WE ARE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT STUFF AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE PROVIDED WITH THE CORRECT RESOURCES AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROMOTING THE BUSINESSES AND EMPLOYEES IN THAT WAY.

AND IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, WE ACTUALLY STARTED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WEEK LAST OR YESTERDAY, I SHOULD SAY, ON ALL OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA FOR SELECT

[01:00:08]

SO IF YOU'VE SEEN ANY POSTS, FEEL FREE TO INTERACT AND LIKE THOSE PICTURES, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE WILLING TO ANSWER THOSE.

THANK YOU DYLAN.

[Item 7.A. & 7.B.]

THOSE WILL BE PRESENTED TOGETHER.

WE'LL HAVE SEPARATE VOTES ON THOSE TWO ITEMS. BUT DIRECTOR KILLOUGH, IF YOU'LL PRESENT SEVEN A AND SEVEN B.

CERTAINLY, MAYOR. THANK YOU.

THIS IS A PROPOSAL FOR BOTH A LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT.

THAT'S ITEMS SIX ITEM SIX A OR EXCUSE ME, SEVEN A AND THIS IS TO CHANGE LAND USE ON A PORTION OF PROPERTY THAT IS CURRENTLY DESIGNATED AS INDUSTRIAL WITH THE PROPOSAL OF CHANGING THAT TO MIXED USE THAT WOULD MATCH THE ADJOINING END CAPS OF THIS TRACT ALONG THE CONTINENTAL AND BRUMLOW FRONTAGE.

IT IS ALSO TO MAKE A ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL FOR WHAT'S CALLED BRUMLOW EAST, WHICH WOULD BE A CHANGE OF ZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO TRANSITION ZONING DISTRICT.

THIS PROPERTY FRONTS EAST CONTINENTAL BOULEVARD AT 1719 EAST CONTINENTAL AND 1451, 1435, AND 14 OR 1537 BRUMLOW AVENUE.

THIS IS THE CURRENT LAND USE DESIGNATION AS IT SITS ON THE TRACT, THE TRACT SHOWN IN BLACK AND YELLOW.

THE YELLOW BOUNDARY ON THIS EXHIBIT IS THE AREA PROPOSED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE CLASSIFICATION TO MIXED USE.

AND THIS WOULD BE THE RESULTING MAP AMENDMENT FOR THAT CHANGE IF APPROVED.

THIS IS JUST GENERAL LAND USE MIX LOOKED AT BETWEEN THE VARIOUS DESIGNATIONS OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS THE MIXED USE CATEGORY, AND IT'S HIGHLY FLEXIBLE, ALLOWING RESIDENTIAL OFFICE, WAREHOUSE, OPEN SPACE T YPE USES.

CURRENT ZONING ON THE PROPERTY IS AGRICULTURAL.

REQUESTED CHANGES TO TRANSITION ZONING DISTRICT.

A CLOSER VIEW OF THE AERIAL.

AND THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE FRONTAGE AT 1719 EAST CONTINENTAL TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA, THIS IS THE TEALWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD AND THIS IS LOOKING IN A SOUTHEASTERLY DIRECTION ALONG THE FRONTAGE OF CONTINENTAL.

THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING IN A WESTERLY DIRECTION FROM THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE TRACK THAT FRONTS ON BRUMLOW AVENUE. THE FRONTAGE OF THIS RUNS TO THE SOUTH AND WEST AND J UST PAST THESE EXISTING STRUCTURES.

THIS IS GENERALLY THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS BETWEEN WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED ON A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, THE SOUTHERN

[01:10:08]

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS A DETAIL OF THAT DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

THE OFFICE WAREHOUSE FLEX SPACE WOULD ABUT THE SOUTH BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS CONTIGUOUS TO WHAT WOULD BE THE FUTURE MUNICIPAL SERVICE CENTER AND PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING TOWER FACILITY.

AND THE MORE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY WOULD ALL BE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY, ABUTTING PROPERTY THAT HAS A SMALL PORTION OF INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY AND THE REMAINING SOUTHERN PORTION AS MANUFACTURED HOUSING ZONING WITH SOME SINGLE FAMILY SITE BUILT HOMES, AS WELL AS SOME MANUFACTURED HOMES STILL REMAINING THAT ABUTS THE EASTERN BOUNDARY.

THERE'S TWO RESIDENTIAL TRACTS OR LOTS PROPOSED THERE.

THE NORTHERN LOT WOULD HAVE ACCESS ONTO EAST CONTINENTAL.

THEN THE SOUTHERN LOT WOULD CROSS A CONSTRUCTED BRIDGE OVER THE FLOODPLAIN TO THE MAIN MAIN ROAD THAT SERVES THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

OVERALL DENSITY OF.

THE PROPOSAL, WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE 32.8 ACRES, IS APPROXIMATELY 1.7 D WELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THIS IS A DETAIL OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE OR OFFICE FLEX WAREHOUSE SPACE.

AND DETAIL OF THE RESIDENTIAL.

AND RESIDENTIAL PROPOSES A TOTAL OF 56 RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

AND THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. AND THIS IS OUR PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION FOR WHICH WE, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICES FROM PROPERTIES WITHIN THE 300 FOOT BOUNDARY OF THE SITE.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DURING THEIR PUBLIC HEARING DID HAVE SOME SOUTHLAKE RESIDENTS PRESENT AND I BELIEVE HAD COMMENTS OF SUPPORT AS PART OF THAT MEETING.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE ITEM FIVE ZERO ON ITEM SEVEN A, WHICH IS THE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT, AND LIKEWISE ON ITEM SEVEN B APPROVED THAT ITEM FIVE ZERO.

WITH THE APPLICANT'S WILLINGNESS TO ADDRESS SOME TRAFFIC CALMING ON THE NORTH SOUTH STRETCH OF THE ROADWAY, WHICH THE APPLICANT HAS ADDRESSED THAT IN THE PLAN BEFORE YOU, THEY PROVIDED A LANDSCAPE TRAFFIC ELEMENT ALONG A PORTION OF THAT ROAD TO HELP SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN AS THEY TRAVEL, T RAVEL THAT LONGER STRETCH OF ROADWAY.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO REFER BACK TO THAT IF YOU'D LIKE.

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

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR KILLOUGH.

ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE ON THE ACCESS FROM CONTINENTAL HAS THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSION IN THE STAFF REPORT OR AT PLANNING AND ZONING ABOUT POSSIBLY A DECEL LANE GOING WEST TO EAST TO TURN RIGHT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD? THAT'S A TWO LANE STREET.

I CAN SEE WHERE WE MIGHT NEED TO LOOK AT THAT OR WHAT IS THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS SHOW ON ON CONTINENTAL.

THE APPLICANT DID A BASICALLY A TRAFFIC MEMORANDUM ON THE STUDY WHERE THEY ESTIMATED WHAT THE TRIP GENERATION IS, THEY DID NOT DO A FULL TRAFFIC STUDY.

IN DISCUSSION WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS THERE, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT COULD BE LOOKED AT IN TERMS OF OPERATION WITH EAST CONTINENTAL, IN TERMS OF WHETHER IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO CONSTRUCT A LEFT TURN LANE, FOR INSTANCE, IF NECESSARY, THEY COULD ALSO LOOK AT

[01:15:01]

ALL RIGHT. YEAH I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME OPTIONS ON THAT.

THIS IS FIRST READING SO WE'LL SEE IT AGAIN.

YOU KNOW WHENEVER ON SECOND READING WHETHER IT'S IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OR NEXT MONTH.

SO I THINK I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME MORE ANALYSIS ON THAT PART AS FAR AS CONTINENTAL BOTH BOTH DIRECTIONS.

BUT THAT'S ALL I HAD ON THIS.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR.

REAL QUICK. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THIS WHAT'S THE ACREAGE THAT'S UNBUILDABLE BECAUSE OF THE FLOODPLAIN? ROUGHLY. APPROXIMATELY IN TOTAL, PROBABLY CLOSE TO 12 ACRES.

APPROXIMATELY 12 ACRES.

AND THEN I CAN'T SEE HOW BIG ARE THOSE TWO THE TWO KIND OF OUTLIER RESIDENTIAL LOTS, L OOKS LIKE ONE OF THEM IS 1.4 ACRES OR SOMETHING LIKE.

YES, THEY'RE BOTH OVER, OVER AN ACRE.

YES. AND THEY'RE INCLUDED IN THE AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL LOTS FOR THE OTHER FOR ALL OF IT, THOUGH.

YES THEY ARE. THEY ARE AVERAGED OUT IN THAT.

AND ALSO PART OF THE DENSITY CALCULATION AND THE, AND THE FLOODPLAINS INCLUDED IN THAT, IN THAT DENSITY TOO CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, AS WELL AS THE OFFICE FLEX SPACE IS INCLUDED IN THAT DENSITY TABULATION.

AND THAT'S ANOTHER 7.6 ACRES? THAT IS CORRECT.

YEAH. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR KILLOUGH.

NEXT, WE'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT TO COME UP WITH A PRESENTATION.

YOU ALL KNOW THE DRILL. IF YOU'D STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS OR NAMES AND ADDRESSES FOR THE RECORD.

MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL MARTIN SCHILLING, 2625 NORTH WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS, 76092.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING AND CONSIDERATION OF OUR APPLICATION.

THESE FIRST FEW SLIDES ARE GOING TO BE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO STAFF, SO I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THEM, BUT THEY'LL BE HERE IN CASE WE WANT TO REFERENCE BACK TO THEM. SO THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY, THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL THAT COMES THROUGH US FROM THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH.

AND THEN CONTINENTAL IS A 84 FOOT COLLECTOR BRUMLOW IS A 94 FOOT ARTERIAL.

SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE LAND USE PLAN.

MAJORITY OF PROPERTIES UNDER THE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE WITH MIXED USE NEXT TO CONTINENTAL AND BRUMLOW, AND SOME OF THE USES THAT ARE AROUND US HARDCOURTS, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

THE SP-1 IS BRUMLOW TECH.

AND YOU CAN SEE OUR MEDIUM DENSITY NORTH AND TO THE EAST INDUSTRIAL OR NORTH AND WEST AND THEN INDUSTRIAL TO OUR EAST, AND THEN THE TRANSITION DISTRICT THAT'S THE TEALWOOD DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN THE MANUFACTURED HOUSING IS AXIL ZONING ON A PROPERTY TO THE WEST OF US.

THIS IS THE MUSTANG COURT BUSINESS PARK, WHICH IS CONSTRUCTED.

AND THEN THIS IS THE PROPOSED MUNICIPAL CENTER FOR THE CITY.

SO I'M GOING TO STOP HERE JUST A SECOND AND WE'LL LOOK AT THIS.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, THERE WERE SEVERAL WAYS THAT IT COULD BE DEVELOPED.

ONE, OBVIOUSLY WE COULD DO INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL ON IT.

WE, AFTER STUDYING, DID NOT THINK THAT WAS THE BEST OPTION FOR THE PROPERTY, FOR THE CITY AND FOR THE RESIDENTS.

IT'D BE A LOT MORE INTENSE.

AND THAT'D BE VISIBILITY AND IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE, TRAFFIC IF WE DEVELOPED IT AS INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

SO OUR DEVELOPED PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY TWO THIRDS RESIDENTIAL AND APPROXIMATELY ONE THIRD COMMERCIAL, WHICH AT THE END OF THE DAY REDUCES THE TRAFFIC SIGNIFICANTLY.

AND I'LL GET TO THAT.

SO IT'S IT'S FROM A LAND USE STANDPOINT, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN INTENSITY AND BASICALLY A DOWN ZONING.

SO QUICKLY.

THIS IS HOW WE EVOLVED.

THIS WAS THE FIRST PLAN THAT WE DEVELOPED 94 LOTS, ALL RESIDENTIAL, WITH DENSITY 2.86 UNITS TO THE ACRE.

WE WENT AND MET WITH STAFF AND DURING THAT DISCUSSION THEY WANTED A A BUFFER BETWEEN THE FUTURE MUNICIPAL CENTER

[01:20:08]

SO WE WENT BACK AND WE ADJUSTED OUR PLAN TO THIS DRAWING.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT ON THE SOUTHERN END THE BUILDING THAT FACES BRUMLOW WOULD BE MORE OF A TYPICAL GARDEN OFFICE.

THE INTERIOR BUILDINGS WOULD BE FLEX OFFICE SPACE.

SO WE'RE AT 65 LOTS ON 32 ACRES, A DENSITY OF 1.98.

WE TOOK THIS PLAN TO THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE AND THAT'S WHEN THE DISCUSSION CAME UP ABOUT CONTINENTAL AND THE CONFLICTS AND THE TWO PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS.

SO ON THE PREVIOUS SCREEN BOTH THIS ENTRY ON THE CONTINENTAL AND THIS ENTRY HERE ON THE CONTINENTAL WERE PUBLIC STREETS.

SO WE CAME BACK AND MODIFIED IT.

THERE WERE 11 LOTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROJECT, AND SO WE MADE THOSE INTO TWO RESIDENTIAL ESTATE LOTS.

AND ONLY ONE OF THOSE GOES TO CONTINENTAL.

SO OUR EFFORT THERE WAS TO REDUCE TWO PUBLIC STREETS GOING OUT TO CONTINENTAL, TRY TO CUT DOWN ANY CONFLICTS THAT WE WOULD HAVE ON THAT ROAD.

THE SOUTHERN LOT GETS ACCESS FROM THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, BUT IT'S ON ON THE STREET THAT RUNS THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION.

THEN SO THE IN THE P&Z MEETING YOU CAN SEE THE TRAFFIC CALMING THAT WE INCORPORATED IN HERE, AND THEN ALSO THE LOT THAT'S ADJACENT TO IT.

WE ENLARGED IT.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE COMMENTS BY COMMISSIONER REYNOLDS.

SO WE ADDED THAT TO THIS PLAN.

AND THEN I'VE GOT A FEW IMAGES OF SOME RESIDENTIAL TYPICAL REPRESENTATION.

AND THIS WOULD BE A REPRESENTATION OF A GARDEN OFFICE THAT WOULD FACE BRUMLOW.

IT'S SMALLER THAN WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE BUILT ON THERE.

BUT I WANTED TO SHOW SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE MORE OF A GARDEN OFFICE THAT WE'D SEE AROUND TOWN.

AND THE FLEX SPACE THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF A PRODUCT THAT ACTUALLY HAS BEEN BUILT IN MCKINNEY AND BEEN BUILT IN FORT WORTH.

AND THEN ANOTHER REPRESENTATION OF A FLEX SPACE PRODUCT THAT'S IN GATEWAY ARE IN COMMERCE BUSINESS PARK.

SO WE'LL GO BACK AND RECAP.

SO WE STARTED WITH 94 LOTS WE'RE AT 56 NOW.

WE STARTED AT DENSITY OF 2.86 WE'RE AT 1.71 UNITS TO THE ACRE.

WE'RE AT BASICALLY 70,000FT² OF COMMERCIAL ON THE SOUTHERN END.

SO AT THE SPIN MEETING, WE'LL TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC A LITTLE BIT.

THE CITY COMMISSIONED A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR THE SERVICE CENTER.

IN THAT IMPACT ANALYSIS BECAUSE WE'RE ON THE LAND USE PLAN AS COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL THE PLAN CONSIDERED THAT WE WOULD DEVELOP THAT ENTIRE PROPERTY AS COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL.

AND THE FINDINGS OF THAT STUDY ARE THAT IF IT WAS ALL DEVELOPED, INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL, IT WOULD BE 3886 TRIPS PER DAY.

SO USING THE SAME TRIP GENERATION THAT WAS USED IN THAT REPORT AND APPLYING IT TO OUR 56 LOTS AND THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WE HAVE ON THE COMMERCIAL, THE TRIP GENERATION FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN WOULD BE 1771 TRIPS PER DAY, WHICH IS A 55% REDUCTION IN THE VEHICLE TRIPS VERSUS IF WE DEVELOPED IT ALL COMMERCIAL.

SO THERE'S ALSO BENEFITS.

I CAN GET INTO IT IF YOU WANT THERE'S BENEFITS AS FAR AS THE AD VALOREM TAXES AND TAX BASE THE RESIDENTIAL IN THIS COMMERCIAL CREATES NEARLY DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF AD VALOREM TAX BASE AS IF WE DEVELOPED IT ALL COMMERCIAL.

SO THERE'S ADVANTAGES THERE.

YOU KNOW, THE THE I KNOW WE HAVEN'T DEVELOPED MUCH LIFE CYCLE HOUSING IN SOUTHLAKE.

WE JUST HAVE NEVER DONE IT IT'S A SHAME.

BUT THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT COULD FILL SOME OF THAT VOID.

AND I KNOW WE'VE ALL HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS GOING TO GET ALL POPULATED WITH ELEMENTARY KIDS, BUT THIS COULD ALSO FILL SOME OF THAT VOID FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO PRODUCE SOME STUDENTS. AND THEN IT'S ALSO A SPOT WHERE IF YOU'RE LEAVING FROM A MUCH LARGER HOME AND YOU WANT TO GO TO SOMETHING SMALLER AND STAY IN SOUTHLAKE, THIS

[01:25:07]

I'M NOT HERE TELLING YOU THAT THIS IS ALL GOING TO BE ROSY, AND IT'S ALL GOING TO BE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND IT'S GOING TO BE.

BUT I THINK THIS PRODUCT CAN FILL THAT VOID.

AND I THINK IT'S TIME THAT IN TOWN WE HAVE A VARIETY AND A CHOICE FOR A PRODUCT LIKE THIS.

SO WITH THAT I'M GOING TO STOP.

AND WE'VE GOT OUR CONSULTANTS HERE.

AND I'LL TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. SCHILLING. I THINK WE'RE GOOD.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, ITEM SEVEN A AND SEVEN B WERE ON FIRST READING.

THERE'LL BE A SECOND READING AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.

SO FOR FIRST READING IT'S NOT THERE'S NO PUBLIC HEARING ON THAT.

COUNCIL ANY DISCUSSION ON SEVEN A AND SEVEN B OR ANY QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH OR THE APPLICANT? OKAY, WE DO HAVE SOME COMMENT CARDS, WHICH I'LL READ INTO THE RECORD ON.

BOTH ARE ON SEVEN B.

OR THEY'RE ALL ON SEVEN B.

LET'S SEE.

LAURIE SCHNEIDER, 1418 MONARCH WAY IN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

DOESN'T SAY WHETHER SUPPORTING OR OPPOSED.

OR YEAH. IF YOU'RE HERE, LET'S GO AHEAD AND WE'LL OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING THEN IF YOU'RE HERE.

SO IF YOU WANT TO COME ON DOWN, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON SEVEN A AND SEVEN B.

IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, EVEN THOUGH I READ IT.

BUT GO AHEAD AND STATE THAT FOR US.

LAURIE SCHNEIDER, 1418 MONARCH WAY.

WE LIVE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET IN WARWICK GREEN IN TIMARRON.

I WILL STATE I DO PREFER THE RESIDENTIAL AS OPPOSED TO INDUSTRIAL IF WE'RE GOING, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE HAVING TO PICK ONE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LESSER DENSITY, THOUGH.

I THINK THEY'VE THEY'VE REDUCED IT A LITTLE BIT, BUT I STILL THINK IT COULD GO FURTHER.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THIS SET AS A PRECEDENCE.

I THINK WE'RE ABOUT TO GO INTO THE NEXT ISSUE WITH THE WRITE OFF CARROLL, AND I THINK THOSE ARE TOO SMALL AS WELL.

AND I JUST THINK THIS IS ALL ROLLING INTO A PRETTY BAD PRECEDENT.

THE THING I'M THE MOST CONCERNED WITH IS YOU ALL TALKED ABOUT IS THE TRAFFIC.

THE DEVELOPER KEEPS TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE INDUSTRIAL FLOW WOULD BE, AND LIKE, THIS IS SO MUCH MORE REDUCED, BUT THAT'S A NIGHTMARE.

I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE ALL PROBABLY GONE DOWN BRUMLOW OR CONTINENTAL.

WE CAN'T GET OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW.

SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN ASK A QUESTION AND THEN GET A COMMENT ON THIS.

YOU ALL WERE TALKING ABOUT A TURN LANE OR A, YOU KNOW, A DEDICATED LEFT RIGHT.

ISN'T THIS SLATED TO BE WIDENED ALREADY IN FUTURE? ISN'T THERE MANY? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CONTINENTAL OR BRUMLOW? BRUMLOW MAYBE DIRECTOR KILLOUGH COULD SPEAK TO THAT.

YES. BRUMLOW IS IS SLATED TO BECOME A FOUR LANE DIVIDED ARTERIAL.

CONTINENTAL IS GOT RIGHT OF WAY TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, BUT IT IS DESIGNATED AS A TWO LANE UNDIVIDED COLLECTOR ROAD. AND SO IT IS NOT INTENDED TO HAVE ADDITIONAL TRAVELED LANE WIDTHS.

IT COULD POTENTIALLY POTENTIALLY ACCOMMODATE TURN LANES, WHETHER IT BE A DESIGNATED RIGHT TURN OR A LEFT TURN BAY AND AREAS THAT THAT IT'S WARRANTED.

OKAY, SO WITH THAT AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE CASE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS ALREADY EARMARKED.

IS THERE SOME WAY WE COULD DO [INAUDIBLE] I MEAN, DO BRUMLOW BEFORE THIS THING GETS IN THERE? AND THE CITY DEVELOPMENT, THAT'S JUST A THOUGHT PROCESS I HAD.

AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION WOULD BE, Y'ALL, CAN THE FLOODPLAIN PART OF THIS IS THAT GUARANTEED THAT IT WILL NEVER BE DEVELOPED ONCE Y'ALL DO THIS PROJECT? WELL, I THINK WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEFORE US.

THERE'S NOT PROPOSED ANY DEVELOPMENT ON.

WHAT'S THE FLOODPLAIN? DIRECTOR KILLOUGH, CAN YOU ANSWER THAT? AS FAR AS I THINK, THERE'S SOME STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS THAT TALK ABOUT FLOODPLAIN AND WHAT CAN AND CAN'T HAPPEN THERE.

CERTAINLY. AND HOWEVER, IF THIS PLAN MOVES FORWARD AND IS APPROVED, THEY'LL BE SUBJECT TO EVERYTHING REPRESENTED ON THIS PLAN. SO WHAT THEY'VE DESIGNATED AS OPEN SPACE AND RESERVE FOR FLOODPLAIN, IT COULD NOT BE DEVELOPED IN ANY OTHER MANNER WITHOUT COMING BACK THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE MAY BE FEDERAL REGULATIONS WITH REGARD TO WHAT THEY CAN DO IN THOSE FLOOD FLOOD DESIGNATED AREAS.

[01:30:03]

OKAY. SO ANYWAY, LESS DENSITY AND MAYBE SOME ROAD PLANS BEFORE THEY PUT ALL THIS STUFF IN FOR US.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

THE NEXT COMMENT CARD IS FROM JACKIE BAUMANN, 1103 VERSAILLES COURT WHO WANTS TO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT WANTS TO RECORD OPPOSITION.

ARE YOU HERE AND WANTED TO CHANGE YOUR MIND? NO. ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S IN OPPOSITION.

DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE? LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM.

COME ON DOWN, EVEN THOUGH I JUST STATED YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, IF YOU COULD RESTATE IT AND GO AHEAD.

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. HI, I'M PATTY YEAGER, 1402 VINO ROSSO, AND I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING LAURIE JUST SAID, THE TRAFFIC IS TERRIBLE.

I WAS JUST AT THE RIBBON CUTTING FOR MALLARD AGENCY AROUND 5:00, AND IT'S JUST WALL TO WALL TRAFFIC.

I LIVE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE [INAUDIBLE] OR ROUNDABOUT AS WELL.

SO IT'S BACKED WAY UP ON CONTINENTAL.

I HEARD THAT THE THAT IT WASN'T UNTIL THE END OF LIKE CLOSER TO 2030.

WHEN IS THE [INAUDIBLE] OR BRUMLOW GOING TO BE WIDENED? IT'S NOT FOR ANOTHER 5 OR 6 YEARS.

SO I'LL MAYBE DEFER TO DIRECTOR COHAN ON WHAT HE ANTICIPATES TIMING.

YEAH. ON THAT TO BE.

YEAH, 5 OR 6 YEARS AND THEY WANT TO BUILD THIS BEFORE THEN.

I THINK THAT'S A REALLY BAD IDEA.

THERE'S GOING TO BE IT'S JUST JUST TOO MUCH TRAFFIC AND THEN THE DENSITY AS WELL.

I MOVED HERE FROM ILLINOIS AND WE HAD HOUSES THAT WERE THAT WIDTH, AND YOU'RE JUST ON TOP OF YOUR NEIGHBOR.

AND I THINK WE'RE TURNING INTO PLANO.

SO I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU, I KNOW WE CAN'T STOP IT.

I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO, TO, YOU KNOW, BRING THE DENSITY DOWN.

AND I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT FLOODPLAIN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ASSURANCES THAT ISN'T DEVELOPED.

SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. NEXT COMMENT CARD IS FROM CHRISTOPHER DUCEY, 11282 TEALWOOD COURT IN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS, WHICH IS TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM. COME ON DOWN, SIR.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

THANKS MAYOR AND COUNCIL CHRISTOPHER DUCEY, 1128 TEALWOOD COURT, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

SO JUST FIRST, IN TERMS OF THE PROCESS, I'M THE HOUSE JUST JUST BACKING TO ACROSS A DRAINAGE POND FROM FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. I BROUGHT THE COMMENT CARD THAT I RECEIVED TO BE WITHIN 300FT, AND I WANTED TO MAKE THE POINT THAT I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE PEOPLE WITHIN THAT DISTANCE WHO DO OPPOSE.

IT WAS POSTMARKED ON THE 25TH OF MARCH FOR AN APRIL 4TH MEETING.

I RECEIVED IT WAS GOING TO BE OUT OF TOWN ON THE 4TH, AND THEN I WENT ONLINE TO MAKE A COMMENT, AND THE MATERIALS WERE NOT POSTED AT THAT TIME.

SO I THINK THAT THIS HAS BEEN MOVING PRETTY FAST.

AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING, I THINK THERE WAS ONE SPEAKER, THERE WERE A LOT OF SPEAKERS AT SPIN.

SO I THINK THAT SOME OF THAT PERSPECTIVE MAY COME FORWARD WITH THE NEXT READING.

AND THEY WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER SPEAKERS TRAFFIC DENSITY.

AS IT GOES FORWARD, THERE'S A COUPLE OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO BE SURE THAT COUNCIL IS AWARE OF AND STAFF ADDRESSES.

THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS THE DRAINAGE.

THE DRAINAGE THAT COMES OUT OF TEALWOOD CAN BE VERY SIGNIFICANT AND JUST REALLY WANT TO BE SURE THAT THAT DRAINAGE AREA TOWARDS THE NORTH CARRIES THE WATER OUT.

AND THEN SECOND IS REALLY THE SETBACK.

THE SETBACK ON TEALWOOD IS DEEPER THAN THE PROPOSED NEW NEIGHBORHOOD SO YOU'D SORT OF HAVE AN INCONSISTENT SIDEWALK OR INCONSISTENT SETBACK BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTIES.

YOU CAN SORT OF SEE THAT VERSUS THE NORTHERNMOST HOUSE AND TEALWOOD, AND THE NORTHERNMOST HOUSE OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT IS FURTHER NORTH, RESULTING IN AN INCONSISTENCY THERE. SO, YOU KNOW, ONE THING TO CONSIDER MIGHT BE TO MAKE THAT MORE CONSISTENT.

AND AS THE DEVELOPMENT GOES FORWARD SO DEFINITELY AGREE ON TRAFFIC AND DENSITY WITH THE OTHER SPEAKERS. REALLY HOPE THAT SPECIFIC ATTENTION IS PAID TO DRAINAGE AND THE SETBACK.

AND THEN FINALLY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE THERE'S MORE TO BE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY ON THIS THAN HAPPENED AT PLANNING AND ZONING.

JUST THE NOTIFICATION, AT LEAST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, WAS VERY FAST AND WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO BE HEARD AS PART OF THAT THAT MEETING.

[01:35:07]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU SIR. NEXT PAMELA MULLER, 214 WESTWOOD DRIVE IN SOUTHLAKE, WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM.

MY CARD SAID OPPOSITION, BUT I HAD NOT SEEN THE PLAT.

I THINK MR. MARTIN HAS DONE A GREAT EXPLANATION ON WHY THIS AREA COULD TRANSITION INTO SOMETHING ELSE.

I DO AGREE WITH THE FORMER COMMENTS THAT MAYBE A LITTLE LESS THE DENSITY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE REMOVE A FEW LOTS AND SPACE.

AND OF COURSE, WE ALWAYS ARE WORRIED.

AND I KNOW YOU DRIVE DOWN CONTINENTAL LOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE TURN LANES AND PROPER, YOU KNOW, CIRCULATION.

COULD YOU ALL REVIEW BRUMLOW AND MAYBE UP THE TIMELINE ON WHEN THAT ROAD COULD BE IMPROVED? BUT THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT CARD IS FROM RYAN JACOBSON, 1218 WOODSY COURT IN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

SAYS HERE, SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM.

COME ON DOWN AND AGAIN, IF YOU COULD RESTATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

RYAN JACOBSON, 1218 WOODSY, AND YES, I FULLY SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

WE JUST RECENTLY BUILT OUR HOME THERE ON WOODSY.

IT BACKS UP DIRECTLY TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THIS PROBABLY IMPACTS US MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN TOWN.

MY NEIGHBORS, ALL OF US, WE'VE BEEN CONCERNED OF WHAT THIS COULD BE THE LAST FEW YEARS, AND WE'RE EXTREMELY RELIEVED OF WHAT THEY'VE COME UP WITH.

I KNOW THEY'RE WITHIN THEIR RIGHT TO DO INDUSTRIAL, AND THAT TERRIFIES US.

THEY WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE 94 LOTS THAT CONCERNED US.

AND SO WHEN IT CAME OUT TO BE THIS 56 LOTS, THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST SOLUTION I'VE SEEN A ND I DESIGN HOMES FOR A LIVING.

I'VE DESIGNED NEIGHBORHOODS FOR A LIVING, AND I COULDN'T COME UP WITH A BETTER LAYOUT FOR THIS.

THE MAIN REASON WHY IS BECAUSE OF THE GREEN SPACE THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING, AND I KNOW THAT THE DENSITY IS A LITTLE TIGHT ON THE LEFT, BUT WHAT THEY'RE GIVING UP ON THE RIGHT SHOULDN'T GO UNNOTICED.

WE HAVE A LOT OF WILDLIFE IN TOWN.

OUR FAMILY MOVED HERE IN 1992.

IT WAS A LOT OF FARMS. ALL THAT'S GONE NOW AND IT'S SAD.

BUT THAT'S PROGRESS.

AND I'M HAPPY FOR ALL OF OUR NEW NEIGHBORS IN TOWN.

BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THERE'S STILL THESE ARTERIES THROUGH THE CITY FOR THE LAND, FOR THE WILDLIFE AND EVERYONE TO CONTINUE TO GO AROUND.

WE SEE ALL TYPES OF ANIMALS BEHIND US.

IN TERMS OF THE TRAFFIC, WE LIVE ON A STREET WITH 30 HOMES.

EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING ON THAT STREET, I MIGHT SEE ONE CAR.

SO IF WE'RE TALKING 56 HOUSES, YOU MIGHT SEE THREE, FOUR CARS OUT ON THAT STREET.

THAT'S NOT MUCH IMPACT.

YES, CONTINENTAL AND BRUMLOW DOES GET BUSY IN THE MORNING.

AND THEN AT 5:00 THE REST OF THE DAY IT'S NOT THAT CROWDED.

IT'S REALLY NOT.

BUT YES, IN THE MORNINGS IT CAN BE DIFFICULT.

BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE OWNED THIS LAND FOR DECADES, AND THEY SOLD EVEN 700 ACRES TO TIMARRON FOR A LOT OF OUR NEIGHBORS THAT ARE NOW OPPOSING THIS.

AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT TRAFFIC, WHICH THEY'RE THE REASON WHY THERE'S SO MUCH TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE TIMARRON WITH 1000 HOMES.

SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S REALLY FAIR THAT THEY'RE NOW BLAMING THE LAST PERSON IN ABOUT THE TRAFFIC THAT THEY'VE HELPED CREATE.

ALSO, THE VILLAS IN TIMARRON, THEY'RE JUST AS TIGHT AS THIS.

THERE'S 170 VILLAS IN TIMARRON THAT HAVE THIS KIND OF DENSITY, AND IT BACKS UP TO THE GOLF COURSE.

THIS IS A SIMILAR THING, DENSITY BUT THEY PROVIDE ALL THIS GREEN SPACE.

I, FOR ONE, AM TIRED OF SEEING THE SAME NEIGHBORHOODS EVERYWHERE.

IT'S NICE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT THAT LOOKS LIKE MY OLD HOMETOWN OF FARMLAND.

SO AND THEN THE DRAINAGE, OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE DRAINS ONTO THEIR PROPERTY.

SO TO KEEP THAT IN TACT, I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

THIS IS A NEW AREA.

THIS AREA IS TRANSITIONING BIG TIME ON WOODSY.

WE'VE HAD A HOME SELL FOR 2.2 ON OUR STREET.

IT'S CHANGING QUITE A BIT, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THESE HOMES COMING IN BEHIND US AND INCREASING OUR PROPERTY VALUE.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE THAT.

ALL RIGHT.

PUBLIC HEARING IS STILL OPEN.

ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK ON ITEM SEVEN A AND SEVEN B? ALL RIGHT. GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE.

I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY DISCUSSION AMONG COUNCIL OR ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT OR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH? I HAD A COUPLE. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE LOT SIZES ARE IN THE ADJOINING NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE EAST AND WEST OF THIS EVEN BALLPARK, LIKE TEALWOOD TO

[01:40:01]

AND THE WOODSY COURT PROPERTIES ARE ALL CLOSE TO ABOUT A HALF ACRE.

[INAUDIBLE] TEALWOOD LOOKS WIDER, BUT NOT NEAR AS DEEP AS THESE LOTS JUST ENVISION HERE.

AND THEN WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU PUT UP THE THE THE MAP OF THE SURROUNDING TIMARRON PIECE OVER OFF OF BRUMLOW? HOW TIGHT IS THAT PIECE OVER THERE? I KNOW IT'S NOT THIS TIGHT, BUT.

YEAH, I BELIEVE THOSE ARE 12 TO 15,000 IN THAT RANGE QUARTER ACRE, I BELIEVE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OH, THESE? SOUTHLAKE. OR SOUTH HOLLOW SUBDIVISION TO THE NORTH THOSE ARE ALL SF 20 20,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? GO AHEAD. MAYOR.

GO AHEAD. NO, NO. GO AHEAD.

OKAY. YEAH. THE ONLY OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO MENTION WAS JUST AN OBSERVATION, AND THAT IS THAT AS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED, THIS CAN BE CAN BE DEVELOPED, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AS IT STANDS.

THIS IS ASKING FOR RESIDENTIAL.

AND, YOU KNOW, PER THE DATA FROM THE, FROM THE APPLICANT EVEN IF THAT DATA IS NOT PERFECT, IT'S DIRECTIONALLY GOOD DATA AS IT RELATES TO TRAFFIC IMPACT FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITH SHIPMENTS AND DELIVERIES AND INS AND OUTS ALL DAY LONG AS COMPARED TO RESIDENTIAL, WHICH CERTAINLY IS A LIGHTER, WHICH IS A LIGHTER IMPACT.

SO, I MEAN, I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THOSE AREAS THAT EVERYBODY REALIZES IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED REGARDLESS OF WHAT SIDE, YOU KNOW, FOLKS ARE ON, ON THIS ISSUE. IT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED.

SO IT'S REALLY TRYING TO TO PICK THE BEST USE YOU KNOW, FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED.

SO, SO I WOULD SAY I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AT LEAST AS A CONSIDERATION FOR EVERYBODY, THAT THE TRAFFIC OPTION, RESIDENTIAL APPEARS TO BE A BETTER OPTION THAN INDUSTRIAL.

DENNIS, MY QUESTION IS SOMEBODY MENTIONED THAT THERE'S A SETBACK DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS.

CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT AT ALL OR DO WE HAVE A STANDARD ON THAT? BOTH ARE TRANSITION DISTRICTS SO THEY HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY AS TO WHAT THE MINIMUM REAR YARD SETBACKS ARE.

IN THE CASE OF THE TEALWOOD I I'M GUESSING THOSE REAR YARDS ARE PROBABLY IN THE 15 FOOT RANGE PLUS OR MINUS, BUT THOSE ARE LIKE SQUARE FOOTAGE, SLIGHTLY LARGER, NOT MUCH, BUT THEY'RE MORE SQUARE IN THEIR LOT SHAPE.

SO IT PROVIDED MAYBE SLIGHTLY MORE.

SO SLIGHTLY WIDER LOTS.

AND. BUT REALLY, I THINK SETBACKS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED BETWEEN THE TWO ARE VERY, VERY SIMILAR AS FAR AS FRONT AND REAR SETBACKS BETWEEN TEALWOOD AND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

I APOLOGIZE, I WAS NOT VERY ARTICULATE IN MY QUESTION.

I MEANT FROM FROM CONTINENTAL IS THAT THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS, THEIR HOUSES OFF OF CONTINENTAL, THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE SPACE.

THESE HOUSES SEEM TO BE CLOSER TO CONTINENTAL.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? ALONG THIS PORTION.

THE NORTH PORTION.

I THINK SHE MEANS THE SOUTH PORTION OF CONTINENTAL.

THE SIDE YARDS OF TEALWOOD.

THOSE THOSE THERE'S A FEW HOMES ALONG CONTINENTAL, AND THOSE ARE THEIR SIDE YARDS.

AND THEN WE HAVE ONE IN THE NEW DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED.

THE DIFFERENCE IN THAT AREA IS THIS IS WHERE TEALWOOD PROVIDED THE MAJORITY OF THEIR OPEN SPACE AS PART OF THEIR OVERALL NEIGHBORHOOD OPEN SPACE.

AND SO THAT'S WHY THESE ARE SET BACK FURTHER IN THIS AREA.

AND I BELIEVE THIS THIS LOT HERE WAS PRIMARILY JUST THE RIGHT OF WAY DESIGNATION SO.

BUT IS THAT RIGHT? BUT YOU DID SAY MOST OF THE HOUSES AROUND THERE OWN HALF ACRE LOTS? CORRECT. MAXIMUM ON THE NORTH BOUNDARY OF CONTINENTAL.

YES. THOSE ARE 20,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT MINIMUM.

THE WOODSY COURT MANUFACTURED HOUSING, WHICH IS PRIMARILY AN UNRECORDED SUBDIVISION, WAS CREATED AS SEVERAL TRACKS.

THOSE ARE ALL ROUGHLY HALF ACRE PLUS, PLUS OR MINUS A LITTLE LARGER THAN OTHERS I'M LOOKING AT OR MY EYES CONTINUALLY ARE DRAWN TO 56 LOTS ON 32 ACRES.

THAT COMES OUT TO ABOUT HALF ACRE, RIGHT?

[01:45:01]

YEAH. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT DENSITY VERY, VERY SIMILAR.

I MEAN, THEY'RE COMING IN ON.

BUT DENNIS, THE ACTUAL ACREAGE THAT THOSE HOUSES ARE GOING ON IS FAR LESS THAN 32 ACRES? CORRECT. YEAH. THESE ARE ROUGHLY 6000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

ON HOW MANY ACRES? NOT 32.

CORRECT. YES.

I MEAN, TAKE OUT GIVE OR TAKE 13.2 ACRES.

13.2. OKAY.

YEAH. THEY'VE GOT ABOUT 12 ACRES IN OPEN SPACE AND 8 ACRES AND WELL, ABOUT 10 ACRES HERE, PROBABLY IN 8.

SO THAT LEAVES ARE ROUGHLY ABOUT 18 ACRES, PLUS OR MINUS. WE SAID IT WAS 12 ACRES OF FLOODPLAIN AND 7.6 ACRES OF COMMERCIAL.

CORRECT? CORRECT. YEAH.

SO? SO YOU DOWN TO ABOUT 13.2 ACRES OF BUILDABLE.

YEAH. SOME OF THE OPEN SPACE I WAS COUNTING WAS ALSO PART OF THIS 7 ACRES HERE.

SO THIS IS PROBABLY ABOUT TEN ACRES.

THIS IS ABOUT 8 ACRES.

IF YOU INCLUDE THAT OPEN SPACE DOWN ON THE CORNER THERE.

I COULDN'T COULDN'T HEAR YOU.

YOU JUST WANT TO. IF YOU JUST WANT TO CUT OUT THE COMMERCIAL BECAUSE I'M CONFUSED WHY I AM CONFUSED WHY WE'RE EVEN CONSIDERING COMMERCIAL IN THE IN THE IN THE LOTS PER ACRE BECAUSE IT'S COMMERCIAL.

THE BOTTOM PART.

THE KIND OF SOUTH SOUTHEAST CORNER THAT RIGHT THERE.

NO. RIGHT. THAT RIGHT THERE IS THAT IF YOU IF YOU INCLUDE THAT THE 7.6 IS THAT ABOUT 10 ACRES.

SO YOU'RE REALLY ON 22 ACRES OR WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ROUGHLY? FOR DENSITY.

PROBABLY ABOUT 2.2, 2.3 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

YEAH. OKAY. SO 2.2.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH OR DISCUSSION ON THIS? ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SIZE OF HOUSES AND KIND OF THE APPROXIMATE VALUE OF THESE HOMES THAT YOU'D BE PUTTING ON THERE? YOU THINK IF YOU COULD COME BACK TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE THAT'D BE GREAT.

SO THE MINIMUM ON THE 50 FOOT WIDE LOTS IS 2500FT², AND THE MINIMUM ON THE 60 FOOT WIDE LOTS IS 3000FT². WE HAVE JUST PROJECTED THE TOP END AT 5000 OR SO.

IF YOU JUST LOOK AT CRESCENT ROYALE, WHICH IS PRETTY ACCURATE, YOU GO THROUGH THERE AND ALMOST ALL THAT'S AT $400 A FOOT.

HIGHER THAN WHAT OUR OTHER PROPERTY VALUES ARE IN TOWN.

BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE ON A SMALLER LOT AND YOU'RE IN THAT PRODUCT CATEGORY.

SO IT'S $400, $400 A FOOT IS PROBABLY.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT IT WILL BE A NEW PRODUCT.

SO MAYBE YOU GET A LITTLE MORE FOR THAT.

MARTIN, QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU AS WELL.

I AM ALSO WANTING TO ASK, ARE YOU WILLING TO CONSIDER LINING UP THAT SETBACK TO MATCH THE TEALWOOD SETBACK OFF CONTINENTAL AND MAYBE CHANGING SOMETHING SO THAT IT DOES LINE UP AND WE DON'T HAVE SOME STAGGERING OF HOMES ALONG CONTINENTAL AS YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN.

YEAH, WE WE DID ADJUST IT BECAUSE IT BROUGHT WAS BROUGHT UP BY P&Z.

AND AGAIN THE REASON THAT TEALWOOD HAS THAT DISTANCE FROM THE RIGHT AWAY IS THAT WAS THE ONLY PLACE THEY COULD PUT THEIR OPEN SPACE.

I MEAN, THEY PUT THE DETENTION FACILITY IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, BUT THERE REALLY WAS I GUESS YOU COULD HAVE PUT A STRIP BACK THERE, BUT FOR THEM, IT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST LOGICAL PLACE TO PUT IT.

BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN AREA LIKE THE POCKET PARK THAT WE MADE AND THERE'S A PARK DOWN HERE.

SO IF WE DO SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE.

I MEAN, WE COULD COMPRESS THAT PARK, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE WISEST THING TO DO.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BETWEEN LOTS SIX AND SEVEN IT LOOKS LIKE.

YEAH. HOW WIDE IS THAT? THE SAME 56, 60, 60 OR 70FT 60FT, I THINK.

AND HOW MANY FEET WOULD IT TAKE TO PUSH HIM BACK THAT LOT NUMBER ONE.

SO THAT 15FT.

BUT BUT IF YOU GO ACROSS THE STREET AT SOUTHLAKE HOLLOW, THEY HAVE LESS BETWEEN THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE HOUSE THAN WE DO.

[01:50:05]

AND THEN MY ONLY OTHER QUESTION FOR YOU IS DOWN ON THE BOTTOM THERE.

AND I THINK I THINK IT'S LOTS 21, 22, 23 YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE NEIGHBOR RIGHT TO THE NORTH OF THEM THAT HAS THREE BACKYARDS ON HIS SIDE YARD.

ARE YOU CONCERNED AT ALL ABOUT THAT, THAT JUST FROM IT LOOKS STRANGE TO ME, BUT.

YEAH, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING WE'LL WE'LL LOOK AT THAT.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD FLIP THOSE.

BUT WE'LL AT LEAST TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND PUT IT ON OUR ACTION ITEM LIST.

THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK UP, MR. SCHILLING.

SO JUST I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE OPEN SPACE JUST SO I BECAUSE WE'RE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME ON THE TRAFFIC AND ON THE HOUSES AND SO FORTH, THE TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND PERSPECTIVE. THE IT'S THAT'S ABOUT 300FT DEEP? CORRECT. FROM THE STREET TO THE TO THE BACK.

SO YES. OKAY.

SO IT'S A FOOTBALL FIELD OF DEPTH FROM THE ROADWAY.

OKAY. SO IF YOU JUST TURN THAT SIDEWAYS AND RUN IT DOWN THEN THAT'S PROBABLY 1500FT OF LENGTH.

SO FIVE FOOTBALL FIELDS OF LENGTH.

SO THAT'S A BIG PIECE WHICH IS OUTSTANDING.

THAT'S GREAT. AND MAYBE I MISSED IT IN THE REPORT BUT WHAT WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS TO LANDSCAPE.

NOT YOU KNOW, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TWO HOMEOWNERS ON BIG BEAUTIFUL LOTS THERE WHO ARE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, WON'T HAVE TO THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO HAVE VISIBILITY AND SO FORTH.

BUT IS IT RIGHT NOW THAT IT WOULD JUST BE GRASS, OR HAVE YOU GOT PLANS TO TO LANDSCAPE THAT A BIT AND GIVE SOME INTEREST TO IT.

YEAH. SO SO IT WILL BE IN THE 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN.

WE'LL HAVE TO RECLAIM IT.

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME AREAS IN THERE WHERE, WHERE THERE ARE A FEW TREES LOCATED, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REMOVE TO SHAPE THAT PROPERTY SOUTH OF THE DRIVEWAY FOR THE THE OTHER ESTATE LOT.

WE DO MUCH LESS WORK IN THERE SO THERE'LL BE SOME TREES THAT WILL BE LEFT IN THAT AREA.

WE WILL OBVIOUSLY REVEGETATE IT AND WE'LL MAINTAIN IT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TREES WE WOULD PLANT BACK IN THERE AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S IN THE FLOODPLAIN.

I GUESS WE REALLY HADN'T GOT THAT FAR.

I CAN VISIT WITH OUR ENGINEER, BUT ONE THING WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS WE DON'T WANT TO GET IN THERE AND HAVE A BUNCH OF TRASH GET CAUGHT UP AND STUCK.

AND THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE THE DRAINAGE.

BUT WE CAN PUT THAT ON THE ACTION ITEM LIST ALSO.

AND I'LL GET US AN ANSWER FROM OUR FLOOD STUDY ENGINEER.

WHAT WE WHAT WOULD BE ADVISABLE TO DO IN THERE? OKAY. YEAH, I WOULD LOVE THAT IF YOU COULD IF THIS PASSES FIRST READING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND, PERHAPS YOU KNOW, AN OPTION OR SO THAT WE COULD LOOK AT TO GIVE US A BIT MORE VISIBILITY, BECAUSE I IT'S VERY RARE THAT WE SEE THAT MUCH GREEN SPACE, YOU KNOW, IN A CONDENSED AREA.

I MEAN, THAT IS A HUGE AREA.

I'D HATE TO LET THAT GO WITHOUT TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BIT CREATIVE ABOUT MAKING IT REALLY LOOK NICE.

YEP. ABSOLUTELY.

AND LET ME GO BACK AND ADDRESS THE, THE DENSITY ON THE THE DEVELOPMENT, THE THE TZD ZONING CAME OUT OF THE 2025 COMMITTEE.

IT WAS A RECOMMENDATION THAT WAS MADE TO COUNCIL.

COUNCIL THEN SENT IT TO STAFF.

STAFF CREATED A DISTRICT TO ACCOMMODATE AN AREA REALLY EXACTLY LIKE THIS.

IF YOU READ THE PREAMBLE IN THE TZD DISTRICT, IT PRETTY MUCH DESCRIBES THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

BUT WHEN THEY WROTE THAT IT WAS INTENDED TO BE A MIXED USE PROJECT.

SO THERE'S FOUR ELEMENTS OR FIVE ELEMENTS YOU PICK.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THREE TEALWOODS GOT ONE, RIGHT.

SO THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT HITS THE THREE BUTTONS ON THE MIXED USE, WHICH IS YOUR OPEN SPACE, YOUR RESIDENTIAL AND YOUR COMMERCIAL.

SO WHEN THEY DID THAT AND THEY CREATED THE DENSITY, THE WAY THE TZD ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN IS IT TAKES THE MIXED USE PROJECT.

AND THAT'S WHAT BECOMES YOUR CALCULATION FOR YOUR DENSITY ON THE RESIDENTIAL.

I DIDN'T WRITE THE ORDINANCE.

RIGHT. SO THAT'S HOW THIS ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN.

AND THIS IS HOW IT'S THAT'S HOW IT'S BEEN IMPLEMENTED SINCE I'D HAVE TO LOOK BACK AND SEE WHEN IT WAS IMPLEMENTED, BUT A LONG TIME AGO.

AND, YOU KNOW, I GET ASKED ALL THE TIME PEOPLE WILL SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, 50 BY ONE, 30 LOTS.

THERE ARE 7000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

I SAID, YEAH, SO WHO DOES THAT LOT HURT IN TOWN?

[01:55:02]

THE BIGGEST ARGUMENT THAT WE USED TO HAVE WAS, WELL, IT'S GOING TO OVERRUN MY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND IT'S IT'S IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT'S GOING TO OVERRUN MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AND THEN THERE'S THE ONE, WELL, IT'S DRAINAGE.

WELL, GUESS WHAT? ALL THE DRAINAGE COMES TO ME.

SO THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO LOGICAL REASON THAT A LOT THAT IS 7000FT² OR 10,000FT² SHOULD NOT BE APPROVED IN SOUTHLAKE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO HURT ANYBODY.

AND WE'VE BEEN ON THIS SINCE WE GOT WHEN WE GOT SEWER, WE FINALLY HAD SOME DIFFERENT SIZED LOTS.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE INCORPORATED IN 1956.

WE'RE STILL DOING THE SAME WE'RE READING THAT SAME PAGE OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

IT'S REALLY TIME FOR THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE TO STEP UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

AND, HEY, IT'S MY IT'S MY PROJECT.

I KNOW I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR, BUT I'M I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 91, AND I'VE STOOD AT THIS PODIUM.

I'VE SAT IN THIS AUDIENCE A LONG TIME.

IT'S TIME FOR US TO HAVE SOME VARIETY AND GET OUR NOGGINS OFF OF EVERYTHING'S GOT TO BE 20,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

WE'RE PAST THAT.

WE'RE BETTER THAN THAT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION AMONG COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH OR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT. MAYOR THE ONLY OTHER THING WE PROBABLY SHOULD DISCUSS, IF WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MOTION, IS THERE WAS SOME CONVERSATION WITH REGARDS TO POTENTIALLY DIRECTING THE APPLICANT TO WORK WITH STAFF AND THE CITY ATTORNEY AROUND LANGUAGE, PERHAPS ON THE PLAT, PERHAPS IN CCA'S IF WE GET TO THAT POINT, RELATED TO THE MUNICIPAL TRAINING FACILITY AND THE INTENSITY OF THE USE, SO THAT POTENTIAL HOME BUYERS WOULD HAVE THAT FULL DISCLOSURE OF, OF THAT FACILITY.

SO THE SOUTH. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

SO THAT ANYONE BUYS A LOT OR PREPARES TO BUILD A HOUSE, THEY KNOW WHAT'S COMING TO THE SOUTH AS FAR AS THAT PUBLIC SERVICE OR PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY.

SO GOOD POINT. RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. AND THAT'S EASY TO ADD TO THE MOTION IF COUNCIL IS IN AGREEMENT ON THAT.

WELL, MR. MAYOR PRO TEM, IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A SHOT AT A MOTION, WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE THESE SEPARATELY.

LET'S START WITH SEVEN A.

OKAY. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SEVEN A OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1269-C, CP24-0002.

AND THAT ITEM CARRIES 5 TO 2.

NEXT WE'LL TAKE A MOTION ON ITEM SEVEN B.

AND BEFORE I MAKE THIS MOTION, MAYOR, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE SO WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO INCLUDE IN THIS LANGUAGE AROUND THE APPLICANT WORKING WITH STAFF AND THE ATTORNEY AROUND DISCLOSURE LANGUAGE.

MAYOR COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SEVEN B, OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-813 ZA24-0007 FIRST READING, ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR BRUMLOW EAST ON PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS A PORTION OF TRACT 1A HARRISON DECKER SURVEY ABSTRACT 438 AND TRACTS 2E04, 2E06 AND A PORTION OF TRACK 2E07A JOHN AND GIBSON SURVEY ABSTRACT 591.

ALSO NOTING THAT THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO COME TO SECOND READING WITH A MORE DETAILED LOOK AT WHAT THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN MIGHT BE FOR THE FLOODPLAIN AREA DESIGNATED IN THE PLAN TONIGHT.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO COME TO SECOND READING WITH OPTIONS TO PRESENT AS IT RELATES TO CONTINENTAL AND HOW BEST TO HANDLE DECELERATION INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND POTENTIALLY EXITING THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ON SEVEN B.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT. CAST YOUR VOTES.

ALL RIGHT. THAT MOTION PASSES 5 TO 2.

WE'LL SEE YOU AT SECOND READING.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ITEM SIX B AND SIX C.

[Item 6.B. & 6.C.]

OF COURSE WE'LL HAVE SEPARATE VOTES ON THOSE LIKE WE JUST DID ON THIS THESE PAST TWO CASES.

BUT ITEM SIX B IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1269-B CASE NUMBER CP 24-0001.

SECOND READING AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE CONSOLIDATED FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND ITEM SIX C IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-810.

CASE NUMBER ZA 23-0072.

SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE OVERLOOK AND WILLOW TREE GARDENS AND DIRECTOR KILLOUGH.

IF YOU'LL PRESENT THOSE TOGETHER AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

THANK YOU AGAIN. MAYOR MCCASKILL, CITY COUNCIL.

THE FIRST ITEM, SIX B, IS A LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE OVERLOOK.

THIS PROPOSES CHANGING A PORTION OF THE 9.6 ACRE TRACT TO FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ON THE LAND USE PLAN TO OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA ITEM SIX C IS ZONING CHANGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE OVERLOOK AND WILLOW TREE GARDENS.

IT'S PROPOSING CHANGE ZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO SF 1A SINGLE FAMILY AND SF 1A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO TRANSITION ZONING DISTRICT DTZ.

THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 240 NORTH CARROLL AVENUE AND ALSO INCLUDES PORTIONS OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 918 AND 1050 EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

AT THE FIRST READING OF THIS ITEM CITY COUNCIL REVIEWED THE APPLICANTS PRESENTATION, FOR WHICH THEY PRESENTED A HYBRID PLAN THAT INCLUDED 19 VILLA LOTS AND THREE ROUGHLY HALF ACRE LOTS AT A CONFIGURED AROUND A CONVENTIONAL CUL DE SAC AT THE TERMINUS ACROSS LANE.

COUNCIL TOOK ACTION ON THAT PARTICULAR PLAN WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDE A MASONRY WALL ON THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE DEVELOPMENT FOR WHICH THEY HAD INDICATED A EIGHT FOOT WOOD SCREEN FENCE ALONG THAT BOUNDARY.

ALSO, TO CONSIDER PROVIDING CONNECTION TO CROSS LANE AND RECONFIGURING SOME OF THE LARGER LOTS SUCH THAT THEY ABUTTED THE NORTH BOUNDARY OF THE DEVELOPMENT, MORE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT IT IS ADJACENT TO ADJACENT TO IN THE SOUTH VIEW NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE ENTIRE SITE SHOWN IN BOUNDARY OF SIX A, WHICH IS THE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSES CHANGING THIS PORTION OF THE 240 NORTH CARROLL TRACT FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

AS CURRENTLY STATED, THE CURRENT LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THE ENTIRE TRACT IS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

THIS IS THE DEFINITION FOR MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS DEFINED AS A CATEGORY THAT IS SUITABLE FOR ANY SINGLE FAMILY, DETACHED, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, OR OTHER SUITABLE ACTIVITIES ARE THOSE PERMITTED IN THE PUBLIC PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC. CATEGORIES OF USES.

THIS PARTICULAR AREA WAS ALSO HAD SOME SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WHAT IS IDENTIFIED AS A ROUGHLY 12 ACRE MENDEZ STRUCK PROPERTY.

[02:05:09]

AND I WILL GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THOSE IN DETAIL WITH GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF THOSE FIRST RECOMMENDATION. OUTSIDE OF RETAINING THIS AREA IS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WAS FOR PROPERTIES FRONTING ON CARROLL AVENUE.

THE IT COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR GARDEN OFFICE USE.

IF PLANNED IN A COMPREHENSIVE MANNER, THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE ENTIRE FRONTAGE OF BOTH THE MENDEZ AND CURRENTLY DESIGNATED STRUNK PROPERTIES HERE.

I MIGHT ADD THAT GARDEN OFFICE IS NOT SPECIFICALLY DEFINED IN THE CITY'S LAND USE PLAN.

HOWEVER. REFERENCES.

WHERE IT IS USED, IT REFERS TO PHYSICALLY CONSTRUCTED OFFICE SITES THAT ARE MORE RESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER, HAVING A PITCHED ROOF BRICK FACADES, LANDSCAPING, AND ARE MORE AKIN TO A RESIDENTIAL LOOKING STRUCTURE THAN THAN A COMMERCIAL OFFICE BUILDING. OTHER RECOMMENDATION INCLUDED WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY THAT BUFFERING ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS FROM FUTURE OFFICE USES BE CONSIDERED.

ALSO DESIGNATED THAT FUTURE CONNECTION OF CROSS LANE TO CARROLL AVENUE IS NOT INTENDED.

AND ALSO SET A NEW DRIVE CUT AT CARROLL AVENUE THAT WOULD ALIGN WITH THE WITH MAIN STREET IS NOT RECOMMENDED JUST DUE TO THE EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.

THAT'S THIS AREA HERE.

THERE. THERE WAS A DESIRE NOT TO HAVE A INTERSECTING COMMERCIAL DRIVE THAT WOULD ALIGN WITH WITH MAIN STREET.

I MIGHT ADD THAT PLAN CARROLL IMPROVEMENTS WOULD RECONFIGURE THIS INTERSECTION COMING OUT OF MAIN STREET ONTO NORTH CARROLL AS A RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT.

THIS MEDIAN IS PLANNED TO BE EXTENDED AND RECONSTRUCTED INTO A HOODED LEFT TURN FOR SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC, BUT IT WOULD NOT PERMIT EGRESSING TRAFFIC FROM MAIN STREET TO CROSS THIS INTERSECTION ANY LONGER TO MOVE SOUTHBOUND ON CARROLL.

OTHER RECOMMENDATION WAS AS PROPERTIES DEVELOP IN THIS AREA, IF THEY ARE DEVELOPING NON RESIDENTIAL OFFICE PROPERTIES IN PARTICULAR, THAT THEY BE DESIGNED SUCH THAT VEHICULAR ACCESS THROUGH COMMON ACCESS EASEMENTS OR OTHER MEANS BE PUT IN PLACE THAT WOULD ALLOW EVENTUAL CONNECTIVITY WITH THE COMMON ACCESS EASEMENT THAT'S ALIGNED OVER PART OF THIS DRIVE.

AND AT THE CONTROLLED INTERSECTION AT THE TOWER BOULEVARD INTERSECTION WITH EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

THIS AREA SHOWN IN BLACK IS THE AREA PROPOSED TO CHANGE FROM MEDIUM DENSITY DESIGNATION TO OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

THIS IS TO SUIT THE PROPOSED OFFICE DESIGN THAT IS MADE PART OF THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS THE TRANSITION ZONING DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PROPOSED OFFICE BUILDING.

IF APPROVED, THIS WOULD BE THE RESULTING CHANGE ON THE LAND USE PLAN.

THIS WOULD BECOME OFFICE COMMERCIAL AND ITS LAND USE DESIGNATION.

AND MORE SPECIFICALLY, WOULD BE REFLECTED IN THIS MANNER.

CURRENT ZONING ON THE PROPERTIES IS AGRICULTURAL, WITH A PORTION OF THAT PROPERTY ALSO BEING ZONED SF 1A SINGLE FAMILY. AND ONCE AGAIN AERIAL OF THE SITE.

THIS IS A VIEW ON THE UPPER PART OF THE SCREEN.

THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING FROM THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY, NORTH ALONG SOUTHBOUND CARROLL AVENUE.

ALONG THE FRONTAGE, AND THE LOWER PICTURE IS A VIEW FROM THE NORTHEAST CORNER, LOOKING SOUTH DIRECTION ALONG THE SOUTH BROWN FRONTAGE OF CARROLL AVENUE.

THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE CURRENT DEAD END OF CROSS LANE.

[02:10:09]

THIS IS THE INITIAL PLAN THAT WAS PRESENTED AT COUNCIL'S FIRST READING ON APRIL 2ND.

IT PROPOSED A 26 LOT VILLA PLAN WITH 23,000 SQUARE FOOT, TWO STORY OFFICE BUILDING.

AND THIS IS THE HYBRID PLAN THAT THE APPLICANT PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL AT FIRST READING.

IT PROPOSED 320,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS AND A CUL DE SAC WITH OPEN CONNECTION TO THE VILLA NEIGHBORHOOD AND INCLUDED 19 VILLA LOTS.

NO CHANGE TO THE PROPOSED OFFICE BUILDING ON THE HYBRID PLAN.

WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? DOES ANYONE HAVE A QUESTION FROM UP HERE? WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC UNTIL YOU COME UP HERE.

GO AHEAD. DIRECTOR KILLOUGH. SURE.

HYBRID PLAN ONCE AGAIN 19 VILLA LOTS AND THREE SF 20 LOTS AND SAME, NO CHANGE TO THE OFFICE.

AND BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, FOLLOWING THE APPROVAL CONDITIONS THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE, THE APPLICANT HAS PRESENTED TWO PLANS. THEIR PREFERRED PLAN IS THIS PLAN D WHICH IS 18 VILLA LOTS AND FIVE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS RANGING FROM ROUGHLY 15,000FT² TO 17,000 SQUARE FOOT ON A EXTENSION OF CROSS LANE, TERMINATING IN A CUL DE SAC.

THE VILLA LOTS WOULD HAVE SECONDARY EMERGENCY ACCESS THROUGH AN EMERGENCY ACCESS GATE ONLY.

THE PRIMARY ACCESS TO THE 18 VILLA LOTS WOULD BE THROUGH A PRIVATE GATED DRIVE THAT WOULD CROSS THROUGH THE OFFICE COMMERCIAL SITE, PRIMARILY THROUGH THIS NORTH DRIVEWAY.

THERE'S NO CHANGE IN THIS PLAN FROM REGARDING THE OFFICE PORTION OF THIS PROPERTY FROM THE PREVIOUS PLANS. THE ALTERNATE PLAN E THAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED.

IT IS A PLAN THAT INCLUDES ROUGHLY 14 TO 11,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS ALONG THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY, CLOSER TO IN SIZE AND DEPTH TO THE TYPICAL SF 20 LOT. IT WOULD BE OPEN AT CROSS LANE WITH FULL ACCESS INTO THE PUBLIC ROAD WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

OR IT WOULD BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT LEAST.

AND THERE WOULD ALSO BE SECONDARY ACCESS THROUGH A PRIVATE ACCESS GATE THROUGH THE OFFICE COMMERCIAL LOT.

DIRECTOR KILLOUGH, QUICK QUESTION HERE.

CHECK MY MATH ON THIS PROPOSAL.

LOTS ONE THROUGH 11 WOULD RANGE FROM BASICALLY QUARTER ACRE TO THIRD ACRE ON THE LARGER SIZE RIGHT.

THE SMALL LOTS THAT ARE RIGHT AT A QUARTER, ROUGHLY.

THAT IS CORRECT. YES.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THIS IS A COMPARISON OF THE TWO PLANS SIDE BY SIDE.

OR EXCUSE ME. THIS IS A COMPARISON OF THE HYBRID PLAN WITH PLAN D.

EXCUSE ME. AND COMPARISON OF THE HYBRID PLAN ON THE UPPER SCREENSHOT AND THE PLAN E ON THE LOWER.

THIS IS JUST A DETAIL OF THE OFFICE LOT.

ONCE AGAIN, THERE'S BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE OFFICE LOT SINCE FIRST READING AND JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE REGULATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

ALSO PART OF THEIR PLAN IS A PROPOSED HOODED LEFT TURN THAT WOULD PROVIDE INGRESS

[02:15:01]

ALTHOUGH THE APPLICANT'S TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT AND OUR THIRD PARTY REVIEW DID NOT HAVE ANY DISAGREEMENTS IN THEIR FINDINGS OF THAT STUDY.

OPERATIONALLY, OUR PUBLIC WORKS HAS CONCERNS REGARDING THIS ADDITIONAL LEFT TURN LANE AND THIS PORTION OF CARROLL AVENUE. NOW THIS IS A RENDERINGS OF THE PROJECT.

THE RENDERING, I MIGHT ADD ON THE OFFICE BUILDING DOES NOT REPRESENT THE REDUCTION IN SIZE FROM THE 26,000 SQUARE FOOT ORIGINAL VERSION TO THE 23,000 SQUARE FOOT VERSION, AND IS INTENDED TO JUST GENERALLY REPRESENT THE ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUBDIVISION FOR BOTH THE OFFICE AND THE RESIDENTIAL.

SOME ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF THAT AND RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED ENTRY GATE COMING IN THROUGH THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY INTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.

ONCE AGAIN SOME ADDITIONAL CONCEPTS.

CURRENT OPPOSITION IS APPROXIMATELY 40% OF PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE 200 FOOT NOTIFICATION AREA, WHICH DOES REQUIRE A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE BY THE CITY COUNCIL IN ORDER TO APPROVE THE ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED DENIAL ON BOTH ITEMS AT THEIR MARCH 21ST MEETING AND I MENTIONED THE MOTION OF APPROVAL WHICH PASSED AT YOUR LAST COUNCIL MEETING, FIVE-ONE ON THE ZONING, SIX-ZERO ON THE LAND USE AMENDMENT WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT WERE EARLIER DESCRIBED ON THE HYBRID PLAN.

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

APPLICANT HAS A PRESENTATION AS WELL AS A VIDEO IF THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU DIRECTOR KILLOUGH.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH.

YEAH. DENNIS, YOU COMMENTED THAT OPERATIONALLY OUR PUBLIC WORKS HAS CONCERNS OVER THAT TURN LANE, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE MORE? MY DIRECT THAT QUESTION TO DIRECTOR COHEN.

YES, MA'AM.

IN REFERENCE TO WHAT DIRECTOR KILLOUGH SAID, WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS REGARDING WHAT THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER SAID, NOR THE QUALITATIVE OR QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION PROVIDED. THE CONCERN IS THE OPERATIONS WHERE WE START SEEING CARROLL BACKING UP IN THE AFTERNOON.

THERE'S GOING TO BE STAGNATING OR TRAFFIC BACKING UP, POSSIBLY STACKING, TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO THAT DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO THERE'S CONCERNS THERE THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY OVERFLOW AND PREVENT NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC ON CARROLL.

SIMILARLY, IN THE MORNING IS NOT VERY CONCERNING, MAINLY BECAUSE MOST OF THE TRAFFIC IN THE AM TIME FRAME GOES NORTH ON CARROLL.

SO IT'S REALLY THE PM TRAFFIC, EVERYBODY FLOWING SOUTHBOUND AND THEN TRYING TO GET IN, TRYING THE EVENING TIME.

AND IT'S AN OPERATIONAL CONCERN BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THE NORTH SIDE OF CARROLL, THE NORTH SECTION IS TRYING TO ELIMINATE A LOT OF THE THESE TYPES OF TURNING MOVEMENTS.

AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE CAPITAL PROJECTS WE HAVE IS TO PREVENT THOSE FROM OCCURRING.

YES, MA'AM. COULD I GET MORE SPECIFIC? DIRECTOR COHEN, IS IT YOUR CONCERN THAT THERE COULD BE A, I GUESS, A JAM UP THERE HEADING NORTHBOUND, BUT COULD IT EXTEND ALL THE WAY TO SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD IN YOUR OPINION? IT'S POSSIBLE IF IF WE HAVE TRAFFIC IN THE PM WHERE IT STARTS BACKING UP PROBABLY AROUND 4:04 P.M.

AND IT STARTS ACTUALLY BACKING UP TO WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY MISS SIGNAL CYCLES.

DEPENDS ON THE STACKING DEPTH.

I BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THREE 3 OR 4 VEHICLES THAT CAN STACK IN THAT.

BUT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY IF WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE COME THROUGH THE LIGHT, TIMING GOES OFF CYCLE.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN IN OPERATION THAT COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT.

UNDERSTOOD, I MEAN, I WOULDN'T WANT TO CONSIDER A DECISION BASED ON.

EMERGENCY VEHICLE, THOUGH JUST THE STANDARD CYCLE, THOUGH NORMAL OPERATIONS HAVE AROUND THAT TIME IS A CONCERN.

OKAY. YES, SIR. BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN IT BACK UP THAT FAR.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

WOULD THERE BE ON THAT LEFT TURN?

[02:20:01]

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED AS WELL.

BUT WE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT SUPPORT ANY TYPE OF U-TURN BECAUSE NOW YOU'VE GOT CONFLICTING TURNING MOVEMENTS AND THAT JUST CREATES MORE OF A PROBLEM THAN WE REALLY HAVE.

AND IT REALLY BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE AT THAT POINT.

SO DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES IT DOES. YES, MA'AM.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE, THOUGH, THAT IT WOULD BACK UP LESS IF YOU DON'T PUT THIS IN AND FORCE THEM TO GO DOWN AND MAKE A U-TURN JUST A QUARTER MILE UP THE ROAD? I MEAN, IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THIS WOULD BE LESS CONGESTED THAN ASKING THEM TO DO A U-TURN.

AM I WRONG? I'M SORRY. I'M NOT.

YOU'RE. IF IF YOU DON'T PUT IN.

IF YOU DON'T PUT IN A HOODED LEFT TURN, IF PEOPLE ARE GOING NORTH ON CARROLL AND THEY WANT TO GO INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO UP AND MAKE A U-TURN.

CORRECT. TO GET. YES, SIR.

MOST LIKELY AT FEDERAL AT THE SIGNAL.

WHY WOULD IT? BUT THERE'S AN OPENING BEFORE FEDERAL THOUGH, ISN'T THERE? THERE IS AT MAIN STREET.

BUT WE HAVE A CAPITAL PROJECT THAT'S LOOKING TO ELIMINATE THE ABILITY TO CROSS FROM THE NORTHBOUND LANE DOWN TO THE SOUTHBOUND LANE.

SO COMING OUT OF MAIN, FROM FROM THE FUTURE, YOU'LL ONLY BE ABLE TO TURN RIGHT UP NORTH, COMING SOUTHBOUND, THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TURN ON A MAIN IS THE LEFT TURN.

YOU CANNOT, OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TURN FROM MAIN ONTO SOUTHBOUND CARROLL, ONCE THE CAPITAL PROJECT IS COMPLETE.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THIS LOOKS LIKE THIS HOODED LEFT IS NORTH OF MAIN, AND THEY WOULD FORCE THEM DOWN TO PROSPECT COMING OUT OF RIGHT THERE BY NOTHING BUNDT. THAT'S WHERE THEY WOULD BE LOOKING TO MAKE THE FIRST U-TURN.

IS THAT NOT ACCURATE? WELL, SO WE'RE LOOKING SO PART OF THE CAPITAL PROJECT.

I THINK WE NEED TO PULL UP THE MAP.

YEAH, WE CAN LOOK AT IT BECAUSE I THINK THAT I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING I DON'T THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO FEDERAL.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO GO UP THERE TO THAT UNSIGNALED LIGHT AT FEDERAL.

SO ANY OF THOSE.

YOU KNOW, PROSPECT RIGHT THERE, THEY'RE GOING TO GO UP TO PROSPECT, AND THAT'S A POSSIBILITY THERE THAT THEY COULD TRY TO DO A U TURN UP AT PROSPECT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I THINK, I THINK A HOODED LEFT IS MARKEDLY LESS CONCERNING THAN ALLOWING U-TURNS AT PROSPECTIVE.

IS THAT NOT CORRECT? SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS MORE OF THE THE TRYING TO TURN LEFT WHEN THE SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC IS QUEUING UP TO TURN RIGHT ONTO WESTBOUND 1709, SO IT COULD QUEUE UP TO WHERE PEOPLE WON'T BE ABLE TO TURN LEFT ONTO THAT PORK CHOP.

AND I DON'T I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT ASSESSMENT AT ALL.

BUT THIS HOODED LEFT TURN, IT SEEMS LIKE AND THIS IS A SMALL PIECE OF THIS, BUT THIS HOODED LEFT TURN MAKES THAT BETTER AT EVERY TURN.

I MEAN, AT LEAST YOU'VE GOT FOUR, FOUR CARS THAT CAN BE PROTECTED THERE AS OPPOSED TO JUST BACKING UP IN A SINGLE LEFT LANE.

HOW MANY? AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE, I KNOW THE TRAFFIC GUY WASN'T HERE LAST TIME.

HOW MANY CARS PER HOUR IS THIS SUPPOSED TO ADD? I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS ACTUALLY FULLY AROUND.

JUST EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.

EXCUSE ME. WE HAVE STAFF SPEAKING.

YOU'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK HERE IN A FEW MINUTES.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE IT. WAIT, HOLD ON A SECOND, DENNIS.

WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY MORE, YOU KNOW, YELLING FROM THE AUDIENCE.

SO I KNOW SOMEONE DID THAT, AND THAT'S OKAY.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL MAYBE IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME BEING HERE, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT ANYMORE, RIGHT? YOU'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK HERE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

GO AHEAD DENNIS. PEAK HOUR IS, I THINK, 69 VEHICLES ADDITIONAL AND THE PEAK HOUR..

IN THAT ONE HOUR TIME.

YES. I BELIEVE ALL THOSE SET AT THE PM TIME FRAME.

THERE'S AN AM PM, AND THEY'RE BOTH JUST RIGHT AROUND 60 NEW VEHICLES.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE I MEAN, I'M AND I'M TRYING TO GRASP IT.

I DON'T SEE HOW ADDING A HOODED TURN LANE HERE IS OF ANY CONCERN.

IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW HIM TO GO UP 200FT AND MAKE A U-TURN, I MEAN, THAT'S MARKEDLY MORE CONCERNING TO ME TO FORCE U-TURNS THAN TO ALLOW A HOODED LEFT TURN.

THE PART ABOUT GOING TO PROSPECT IS THAT WHEN THE TRAFFIC BACKS UP FROM 1709, IT WILL PASS WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IT DURING THE 4:00 PM UP TO RUSH HOUR. IT WILL BACK UP TO THE POINT WHERE YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TURN FROM THIS POSITION EVEN EVEN AT PROSPECT IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

DIRECTOR COHEN, I GOT TO MAKE..

AT THE I NEED TO MAKE..

DIRECTOR COHEN. I GOT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE, BECAUSE YOU KEEP SHOWING YOUR CURSOR INTO 200.

IT'S TURNING INTO 240.

YEAH, YEAH, WELL, NORTH OF THERE, THAT IS CORRECT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE TO SHOW THE TRAFFIC IS BACKING UP HERE, BUT IT'S GOT IT.

YOU'RE SAYING IT BACKS ALL THE WAY UP TO PROSPECT? NO, SIR. NO, SIR.

THE WHEN YOU START..

I'M SORRY. THEN THE HOODED TURN LANE IS NORTH OF MAIN OF CONTAINER STORE.

CORRECT. THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT CORRECT.

YES, SIR. THE ISSUE IS THAT WE DON'T THE THE TRAFFIC DOESN'T BACK UP HERE AT PROSPECT.

SO YOU CAN TURN AROUND HERE WHEN IT BACKS UP IN THIS AREA.

THEN THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM TRYING TO CUT ACROSS.

THAT'S THE ONLY CONCERN.

[02:25:01]

SHOULD GO BACK TO THE GO BACK TO THEIR PROPOSED HOODED TURN LANE SO YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHERE IT IS ON THERE.

IT HAS TO BE RIGHT INTO THE ENTRY.

YEAH I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. CORRECT.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE HOODED LEFT IN THIS AREA.

AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT DURING RUSH HOUR, TRAFFIC BACKS UP PAST MAIN STREET, POTENTIALLY ALL THE WAY UP TO PROSPECT TO TURN RIGHT ON..

PAST, IT HAS BACKED UP PAST MAIN, SO IF YOU WANT TO DO A U-TURN AT PROSPECT, IT'S NOT BACKED UP THERE.

PLEASE GO. EASIER TO DO THAT.

WE HAVE A MAP THAT SHOWS EXACTLY WHERE THEY'RE HOODED IS SUPPOSED TO GO.

GO TO THAT ONE BECAUSE I STILL THINK YOU'RE SOUTH OF WHERE WE'RE LOOKING.

GO THIS WAY.

RIGHT THERE. THERE WE GO.

THAT'S THE MAP RIGHT THERE.

LITERALLY, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT HOODED LEFT TURN AND PROSPECT IS WHAT? ALL RIGHT. I'LL CALL OUR MEETING BACK TO ORDER.

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN DIRECTOR ROB COHEN FROM OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT EXITED THAT WAY.

HE'S IN THE HANDS OF OUR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL.

HE WAS CONSCIOUS AND ON HIS WAY TO THE HOSPITAL.

AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO KIND OF PUT OUT THERE.

WE'RE PREPARED TO CONTINUE WITH THE MEETING.

I KNOW IT'S GETTING LATE.

I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR SEVERAL HOURS.

IT'S OUR INTENT TO CONTINUE FORWARD.

IT MAY MAKE FOR A LATER NIGHT, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, BUT I KIND OF LIKE TO PUT IT OUT TO Y'ALL.

YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT HAVE JOBS TOMORROW OR FAMILIES OR WHATEVER.

AND GIVEN THAT'S AFTER 10:00, IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK INITIALLY ON THE ISSUE OF GOING FORWARD TONIGHT VERSUS COMING BACK IN TWO WEEKS I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

WE'RE CERTAINLY PREPARED TO MOVE FORWARD TONIGHT AND CONTINUE ON.

OR IF, YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF THE CROWD FEELS LIKE YOU KNOW ENOUGH FOR TONIGHT.

AND GIVEN WHAT'S HAPPENED OR GIVEN THE HOUR OF THE EVENING, COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS.

I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL.

THIS IS KIND OF UNPRECEDENTED.

WE'VE NEVER HAD TO REALLY DEAL WITH THIS.

SO IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO COME AND ADDRESS US WITH THEIR $0.02 ON THAT, I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME DOWN, MA'AM, TO THE PODIUM.

AND I THINK THE MICROPHONES ALREADY ON.

AND SO AGAIN, WE'RE NOT GOING TO REALLY TALK ABOUT THE THE APPLICATION MORE ON THE ISSUE OF FINISHING TONIGHT OR COMING BACK IN TWO WEEKS, IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME.

OF COURSE. MY NAME IS JOSE NI.

I LIVE AT 475 BRENTWOOD LANE.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WAS SO SHOCKING AND SUCH A TERRIBLE THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TONIGHT.

I CAN'T SEE HOW WE CAN POSSIBLY CONTINUE KNOWING THAT SOMEONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT, AND WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT PERSON IS GOING TO BE OKAY. I'M A PHYSICIAN AND I FEEL PRETTY SHAKEN.

I WOULD PREFER TO TABLE THIS FOR ANOTHER DAY.

AND THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO'S LEFT MY KIDS AT HOME AND STAYED HERE ALL NIGHT, AND I WAS PREPARED TO STAY AS LATE AS POSSIBLE, BUT I FEEL LIKE, IN TERMS OF HUMAN DECENCY.

I COULDN'T REALLY FOCUS ON THIS ISSUE KNOWING THAT SOMEONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT.

AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW THE STATUS OF THAT PERSON.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT. APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.

ANYONE ELSE FEEL DIFFERENTLY OR THE SAME? YES, SIR. IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME DOWN, THEN, MA'AM, WE'LL GET TO YOU NEXT.

AGAIN, IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND THEN TALK ABOUT WHAT? PAUL SIMON? 500 BENTWOOD LANE, AND I'M GOING TO SAY I CONCUR WITH HER COMMENTS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT.

I THINK SOMEONE ELSE WAS STANDING UP OVER HERE.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME DOWN AND STATE YOUR NAME AND GIVE US YOUR THOUGHTS ON CONTINUING TONIGHT OR COMING BACK IN TWO WEEKS.

HI. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JESSICA ADCOCK.

I LIVE AT 801 CROSS LANE, AND I COMPLETELY AGREE IN TERMS OF HOW SHOCKING THAT WAS AND VERY DIFFICULT TO BE A PART OF AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED.

AND OF COURSE, I THINK WE'RE ALL VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE GENTLEMAN HAVING SAID THAT THERE'S MANY OF US THAT THIS IS OUR SIXTH MEETING REGARDING THIS PROJECT, AND I THINK WE REALLY WERE HOPING THAT SOME RESOLUTION WOULD OCCUR TONIGHT.

AND SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE THIS BEING TABLED ANOTHER TWO WEEKS.

IT'S ALREADY BEEN TABLED SO MANY TIMES.

SO I FEEL VERY CONFLICTED ABOUT IT BEING TABLED FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS PERSONALLY.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK? YES. COME ON DOWN.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND THEN GIVE US YOUR THOUGHTS.

THANK YOU. I'M ANN DAVIS, 308 FOXBORO.

I THINK JESSICA'S COMMENT ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES WE'VE JOINED YOU HERE IN THE CHAMBERS, IT IS TIRESOME.

[02:30:04]

SO THIS IS ONE WHERE I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SENSITIVITY TO ASKING US WHETHER WE FEEL UP TO THE TASK OF CONTINUING WITH THE FOCUS AND THE EFFICIENCY THAT YOU DESERVE.

I WOULD PERSONALLY PREFER TO TO WAIT TWO WEEKS AND WILL REJOIN YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU MA'AM. APPRECIATE YOU.

ANYONE ELSE.

ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, I'LL GO TO COUNCIL.

WHAT DO Y'ALL WANT TO DO? I MEAN, AS FAR AS THE CITY ATTORNEY, I THINK WE'RE, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY LEGAL ISSUES WITH WHATEVER WE DECIDE TO DO WITH MOVING FORWARD THIS EVENING OR RECONVENING IN TWO WEEKS.

IS THAT CORRECT, MR. TAYLOR? THAT IS CORRECT, MR. MAYOR. THE ONLY THING WE WOULD NEED TO DO IS IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO CONTINUE IT, WE SHOULD SIMPLY OFFICIALLY CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO EVERYONE WOULD RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SPEAK AT THE NEXT HEARING.

OKAY. AND THEN APPRIZE THE AUDIENCE OF APPROXIMATELY WHEN IT WOULD BE HEARD AGAIN.

AND I WOULD ASSUME THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

RIGHT? THAT WOULD BE MY PLAN.

IF WE DO NOT MOVE FORWARD TONIGHT TO HAVE IT IN TWO WEEKS, I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GET CLOSE TO SCHOOL BEING DONE IN THE SUMMER VACATION, SO I DON'T WANT TO KICK IT TO JUNE OR WHATEVER. SO THAT WOULD BE OUR INTENT.

WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MOVING IT.

IT WOULD BE TWO WEEKS FROM TONIGHT.

COUNCIL, ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT? I'M REALLY OPEN TO WHAT YOU ALL WANT TO DO AND AND HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS.

ANYONE. I MEAN. WE'RE HERE, HOWEVER, I PERSONALLY AM ALSO VERY SHAKEN.

AND I THINK IF IT WAS ANY ONE OF US UP HERE WE WOULD NOT CONTINUE.

AND I THINK OUT OF RESPECT TO A VERY IMPORTANT MEMBER OF OUR TEAM, I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO TO CONTINUE IT AND LET ALL THESE GOOD PEOPLE GO HOME.

AND I'M SORRY, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'RE HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL.

AND IF WE HAVE TO BE HERE, WE'RE HERE TILL MIDNIGHT OR ONE OR WHATEVER, AND WE'VE HAD TO DO THAT.

BUT I OUT OF HUMAN DECENCY AND I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT WAY TO PUT IT.

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT TO ME TO CONTINUE ON WITHOUT HIM.

AND HE'S A BIG PART OF WE WERE ASKING HIM QUESTIONS.

WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TALKING TO HIM.

THANK YOU AMY.

GO AHEAD RANDY. YEAH. YES, MAYOR.

I WOULD SAY ALL OF US UNDERSTAND AND SIGN UP FOR LATE EVENINGS.

SO THE LATE HOUR DOESN'T BOTHER ME SO MUCH.

I MEAN, WE'RE PREPARED AND READY TO DO THAT, AND I KNOW THE RESIDENTS ARE AS WELL, BUT I DO THINK WE WE CERTAINLY CAN'T GO WRONG WITH CONTINUING.

YES, IT TAKES TWO WEEKS, AND I APPRECIATE THE RESIDENTS AND, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT THEY'VE BEEN WAITING AND HOPING FOR AN ANSWER.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

SO I'M PREPARED TO GO EITHER WAY, BUT WE CERTAINLY WOULDN'T GO WRONG IF WE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

ANY OTHER THOUGHTS OR SIMILAR THOUGHTS.

I'M JUST GOING TO AGREE WITH AMY AND WE ARE HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL.

BUT IT IS TO WHAT THE ONE RESIDENT SAID IT'S.

I'M GOING TO BE WONDERING AND WORRYING ABOUT IF HE'S OKAY WHILE I'M SITTING UP HERE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, DELIBERATE, A DIFFICULT CASE.

SO I, I THINK THAT'S TOUGH FOR ALL OF US, ESPECIALLY STAFF.

SO I WOULD PREFER TO TO WAIT FOR TWO WEEKS.

ALL RIGHT. RANDY.

YEAH, I WOULD, I WOULD AGREE WITH WITH WITH ALL OF THAT.

I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M A PHYSICIAN TOO.

AND I FEEL LIKE THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS IT'S NOT SOMETHING I DEAL WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS, I THINK THAT THEY'RE NOT REGULAR, I GUESS HOPEFULLY, BUT I FROM JUST A KINDNESS, HE'S A CRITICAL PIECE OF THIS TEAM.

I THINK AMY CARRIED THAT RIGHT, IF IT WAS ONE OF US, I DON'T THINK THERE WOULD BE ANY ANY CONSIDERATION.

IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE CONTINUED, AND I THINK THAT WE SHOULD GIVE THEM THE EXACT SAME DEFERENCE THAT WE WOULD RECEIVE.

I AGREE WITH ALL THAT.

LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT THE LOGISTICS FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

SO WE WOULD CONTINUE THE MEETING TO TWO WEEKS FROM TONIGHT, WHICH WAS MAY 21ST, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO JUST START OVER WITH THE STAFF PRESENTATION LIKE WE DID TONIGHT.

I WOULD ENVISION THAT WE REALLY DO PICK UP FROM WHERE WE WE ENDED HERE GETTING INTO THE PUBLIC HEARING PART WHERE THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE CAN SPEAK AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUBMITTED CARDS WILL KEEP THOSE FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

I'M ASSUMING THAT'S OKAY.

SO IF YOU'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED A COMMENT CARD, WISHING TO SPEAK, OR JUST WISHING TO NOTE YOUR SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION, WE'LL KEEP THOSE CARDS FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS SO YOU DON'T NEED TO FILL THEM OUT AGAIN. IS THAT OKAY, ALLEN? YES, SIR. IT IS, AND THE ONLY OTHER THING WE NEED TO DO THEN IS TO ANNOUNCE THE CONTINUANCE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY. I'M, DID WE EVEN START THE PUBLIC HEARING? THE REASON I WANT TO ANNOUNCE THE CONTINUANCE IS WE NOTICED IT FOR THIS MEETING.

OKAY, SO I WANT TO BE SURE THAT THE RECORD REFLECTS.

WE'RE TELLING EVERYONE THE HEARING IS CONTINUED TO THE NEXT MEETING.

SO AS MAYOR, I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION THAT WILL CONTINUE THIS CITY COUNCIL MEETING SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO ITEM SIX B AND

[02:35:09]

AND AS WE'VE DISCUSSED, WE'LL PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE STAFF PRESENTATION AGAIN, AND WE'LL JUST GO FROM THERE.

AGAIN, THE COMMENT, CARDS EMAILS AND WHAT HAVE YOU THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, THEY WILL STAY PART OF THE RECORD.

WE'LL PICK THOSE UP AGAIN.

SO YOU DON'T NEED TO RESUBMIT THEM.

THOSE WHO WERE HERE TO SPEAK TONIGHT, AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE THAT YOU DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK AFTER SITTING HERE FOR SEVERAL HOURS, BUT GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU KNOW, I AGREE WITH THAT CALL.

YOU KNOW, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL IN TWO WEEKS.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT MIGHT BE MEETING NUMBER SEVEN FOR SOME OF YOU.

BUT THANK, I THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.

THANK THE APPLICANT FOR THEIR PATIENCE.

AND WE'LL JUST KEEP DIRECTOR COHEN IN OUR PRAYERS, AND HOPEFULLY HE'LL BE OKAY AND WE'LL KNOW SOMETHING IN THE MORNING.

BUT WITH THAT, I THINK WE HAVE ANOTHER ITEM, BUT WE'RE GOING TO JUST ADJOURN THE MEETING.

AND HOW DO WE HANDLE THAT ONE? JUST TABLE THAT ONE WE CAN TAKE.

WE CAN TABLE THAT ONE AS WELL, MR. MAYOR OR YOU THINK YOU CAN MOVE TO IT FASTER? I THINK PEOPLE IN THE [INAUDIBLE] AS WELL.

HE'S A BIG PART OF THAT ONE TOO.

BUT DO WE NEED A DECISION ON THAT? IS THERE SOMETHING PRESSING? ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO TABLE ITEM SEVEN C.

SO RANDY IF YOU WANT TO MAKE.

YEAH I KNOW I KIND OF MADE A MOTION, BUT MAYBE IF YOU WANT TO PICK UP ON THE MOTION TO CONTINUE SIX B AND SIX C AND THEN ALSO TO TABLE SEVEN C, I KNOW THOSE ARE SEPARATE MOTIONS, BUT I THINK THAT'S THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO GO.

YEAH. OKAY.

AND MR. TAYLOR, JUMP IN IF YOU NEED TO CLARIFY OR CLEAN UP ANY OF THE LANGUAGE ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE SIX B AND SIX C.

OKAY. WE'LL START WITH ITEM SIX B, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE TABLE ITEM SIX B, ORDINANCE NUMBER 1269-B CP 24-0001, SECOND READING AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE CONSOLIDATE FUTURE USE PLAN.

SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT.

WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT. WE'LL JUST TABLE THAT TO THE WOULD BE MAY 21ST.

MAY 21ST. THE SECOND MEETING IN MAY, MAY 21ST.

SECOND MEETING IN MAY, MAY 21ST.

AND DO WE NEED TO AGAIN LANGUAGE AROUND THE PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUING.

IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT CONTINUANCE, WE ARE CONTINUING ANY CALL OR SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING TO THAT DATE.

OKAY. WE CAN CAPTURE THAT, AS NOTED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.

6B, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT, CAST YOUR VOTES.

AND THAT MOTION PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

AND THEN IF YOU COULD SIMILAR MOTION ON SIX C.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL I MOVE THAT WE TABLE ITEM SIX C OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-810 ZA 23-0072.

SECOND READING, ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE OVERLOOK AND WILLOW TREE GARDENS AND NOTING THE SAME THIS SAME AS THE PRIOR MOTION.

THIS WILL BE TABLED TO THE SECOND MEETING OF MAY, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR MAY 21ST, AND NOTING THE CITY ATTORNEY'S COMMENTS WITH REGARDS TO CONTINUATION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT. CAST YOUR VOTES.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

THAT MOTION PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

SO AS WE'VE DISCUSSED, WE'LL TAKE THIS BACK UP AND AND PICK IT BACK UP IN TWO WEEKS ON MAY 21ST.

AGAIN, I THINK WE'LL PUT THIS AS..

SEVEN C ALSO, WE HAVE TO TABLE.

YEAH, I'M GOING TO GET TO THAT IN A SECOND.

BUT WE'LL PICK THIS UP AGAIN WITHOUT STARTING OVER.

SO TO ALLEVIATE SOME TIME AND I THINK WE'LL TRY TO PUT THIS MAYBE IT'S THE FIRST ITEM ON OUR REGULAR AGENDA AFTER WE GET THROUGH CONSENT.

JUST SO YOU WERE HERE LATE TONIGHT, WE'LL TRY TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE HERE A LITTLE EARLIER AND OUT OF HERE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER.

SO WITH THAT, LET'S GO TO TABLING ITEM SEVEN C, MR.
