ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.
[1. Call to Order: Video Introduction of SPIN Program by Southlake Mayor Shawn McCaskill]
[00:00:02]
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING OUT.MY NAME IS MADELINE PRATER, AND I AM YOUR SPIN MEETING HOST FOR THIS EVENING.
SPIN IS AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING AND NO VOTES ARE TAKEN.
SPIN IS STREAMED LIVE THROUGH SOUTHLAKE TV ON THE CITY'S MAIN WEBSITE.
GOOD EVENING. THIS IS SHAWN MCCASKILL, THE MAYOR OF SOUTHLAKE.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO TONIGHT'S SPIN MEETING.
FIRST OF ALL, SPIN STANDS FOR SOUTHLAKE PROGRAM FOR THE INVOLVEMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR COMMENTS AND GETTING A REPORT ON WHAT IS DISCUSSED TONIGHT.
AS WE GO THROUGH THIS REVIEW PROCESS AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING AND CITY COUNCIL LEVELS.
WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT AND BEING PART OF OUR PROCESS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED WITH OUR APPLICANT PRESENTATIONS.
WE HAVE TIM MCINERNY HERE TO PRESENT OUR FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS SPIN 2024 16.
[2. SPIN2024-16 — An applicant is proposing Dakota’s Steakhouse and Event Hall on approximately 6.02 acres located at 1901 W. Kirkwood Blvd. within SPIN Neighborhood #1.]
AN APPLICANT IS PROPOSING DAKOTA STEAKHOUSE AND EVENT HALL ON APPROXIMATELY 6.02 ACRES, LOCATED AT 1901 WEST KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD WITHIN SPIN NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER ONE.GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TIM MCINNERNY.
I OWN DAKOTA STEAKHOUSE IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS.
IT'S AN INSTITUTION THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR 40 YEARS.
I HAVE NOT OWNED IT FOR 40 YEARS, BUT AFTER COVID, WE MADE THE PURCHASE OF IT.
I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE PROJECT FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS FROM THE STATE.
WE HAVE ACTIVELY WANTED TO COME OVER TO SOUTHLAKE, AND WE HAVE LOOKED FOR A NUMBER OF LOCATIONS ON WHERE WE COULD FACILITATE THIS PROJECT, AND WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AS FAR AS EVENT SPACE ON TOP OF THE RESTAURANT.
AND THERE'S A THERE'S A DIRE NEED FOR NOT NECESSARILY A STEAKHOUSE, BUT THE EVENT SPACE ALSO FOR WEDDINGS, BAR MITZVAHS, PRIVATE EVENTS, WHATEVER.
YOU'VE GOT HOTELS HERE THAT HAVE BALLROOMS IN IT AND WHATNOT, AND THEY'RE RATHER FIXED ENTITIES.
THIS WILL BE MORE THEMED TOWARD A LOT OF THE ARCHITECTURE THAT YOU SEE HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.
ALSO, WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOME RETAIL COMPONENTS TO IT THAT FACILITATE THE PROJECT THAT WE HAD ALREADY INITIALLY STARTED ON.
THE RETAIL COMPONENTS WOULD CONSIST OF POTENTIALLY A BAKERY THAT WE COULD USE AS A COMMISSARY FOR THE COMMUNITY AND FOR THE RESTAURANT.
IF YOU THINK OF EMPIRE BAKERY OVER IN DALLAS, IT'S A CONCEPT LIKE THAT WHERE IT'S A GRAB AND GO, WHERE YOU CAN COME AND GET FRESH BREADS AND MUFFINS AND WHATNOT DAILY AND INTERACT WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND WHATNOT OVER A CUP OF COFFEE.
WE THINK THAT IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT TO GO IN.
THE NICE PART ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS IT'S ON THE EXTREME WEST OF SOUTHLAKE.
YOU DON'T GET ANY. IF YOU CROSS THE STREET, YOU'RE IN TROPHY CLUB.
IF YOU GO ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, YOU'RE IN WESTLAKE.
SO YOU HAVE YOU HAVE ALL THREE COMMUNITIES THAT CAN COEXIST WITHIN THIS PROJECT AND HELP FEED IT.
[00:05:06]
I DON'T CAN I, I GUESS I CAN MOVE THIS THING FORWARD OR YOU CAN.WE'VE GOT SOMEBODY IN THE BACK THAT CAN PULL IT UP FOR YOU.
THE NICE PART ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS TXDOT.
WE HAVE WE HAVE IF I CAN BACK UP TO THAT PRIOR ONE.
CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT? YEAH. JASON, DO YOU MIND FLIPPING BACK? FLIP BACK? SO, TXDOT RIGHT DOWN IN THIS AREA HERE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT ACCESS ONTO THE SERVICE ROAD HERE.
KIRKWOOD. THERE'S A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITH TXDOT ON THE ACCESS ROAD, AS WELL AS THEY'VE JUST PUT IN THIS THIS CUT IN ONTO KIRKWOOD, WHICH IS NICE.
AND WE FEEL LIKE THAT WE COULD FIT RIGHT IN THERE.
THIS PLOT OF LAND, THOUGH, HAS A LOT OF VARIATIONS IN ELEVATIONS ON IT.
AND THE DAKOTA STEAKHOUSE IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS IS UNDERGROUND.
YOU'LL SEE IF I TAKE THIS THING FORWARD.
CAN I GO FORWARD? THERE'S A TAB AT THE TOP THAT HAS THE RENDERINGS FOR YOU.
WELL. YOU CAN TELL I'M NOT TOO GOOD ON THIS COMPUTER. OH.
HE'S GOT IT. I MIGHT BE STUCK.
I THINK YOU'RE JUST RIGHT CLICKING OR SOMETHING.
LET'S JUST BRING IT UP A LITTLE THING, AND THEN YOU CAN ALT L OR.
I THINK IT'S JUST THAT IF YOU WANT IT FULL SCREEN MODE.
OKAY, SO THIS IS WE'VE COMMISSIONED DMACC ARCHITECTURE OUT OF CHICAGO.
DMACC HAS DONE A LOT OF PROJECTS FOR AMERICAN AIRLINES.
THEY DID A COUPLE RESTAURANTS FOR US IN DALLAS BACK IN OH NINE.
THEY HAVE TAKEN A HARD LOOK AT WHAT WE EXIST IN OVER IN DALLAS RIGHT NOW.
THIS THIS PART OF THE RESTAURANT, BECAUSE OF THE ELEVATIONS ARE OVER THERE.
IT'S GOING TO BE. IT'LL BE EASY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
WHERE WE CARVE IN AND BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
EASIER THAN SOME OF THE OTHER JUST FLAT SURFACE OVER HERE.
BUT THIS IS THE TYPE LOOK OF THE RESTAURANT THAT WE'RE AFTER.
THE RETAIL COMPONENT ON THE BACK SIDE GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF A COUPLE RENDERINGS.
I LIKE THIS, I'M NOT I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT, BUT I LIKE THIS BETTER.
TO SCATTER SOME BUILDINGS AROUND ON THE BACK SIDE.
THIS WOULD BE ON THE NORTHWEST PLOT OF THE LAND IF WE KEEP IT THAT WAY.
THESE WOULD BE RETAIL COMPONENTS WHERE WE PUT A HAIR SALON.
LIKE I SAID, THE BAKERY THE YOGA STUDIO, EVEN POTENTIALLY A GOLF STUDIO.
VIDEO. GOLF STUDIO HAS BEEN TAKING OFF VERY WELL OVER IN DALLAS.
AND WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE, AND WE'D LIKE TO PUT A HIGH END JEWELER OVER HERE.
WHETHER IT'S A WATCH SPECIFICALLY WATCH DRIVEN OR MULTIPLE PIECES OF JEWELRY IN HERE THAT WE THINK WOULD HELP MAKE THIS A DESTINATION POINT OVER HERE FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND SHOP AND EAT AND VISIT.
JUST A SITE VIEW OF THE LAND THERE AT NIGHT.
WE WILL BE VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE PUTTING IT IN WITH THE TREES, AND THE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING IS SO IMPORTANT TO US TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LIGHTING ELEMENT IS BLENDING WITH THE ARCHITECTURE.
SO I MEAN, IT'S AN APPEALING, APPEALING VIEW.
WE JUST HAVE TO PULL IT OFF AND MAKE SURE IT LOOKS THAT WAY WHEN WE'RE FINISHED.
THE RESTAURANT WILL HAVE ABOUT 248 SEATS IN IT.
IT'S ABOUT A 9500 SQUARE FOOT PROJECT.
THE EVENT SPACE WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO UP TO 250 PEOPLE.
THERE'S NOT MUCH IN SOUTHLAKE FOR THAT.
WESTLAKE HAS A PROJECT CALLED ESTRADA, AND THERE IS AN EVENT HALL OVER THERE AND THEY ARE BOOKED OUT FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS WITH CATERING EVENTS. SO THERE'S CLEARLY A DEMAND TO HAVE SOMETHING OUT HERE AND I WHAT BETTER PLACE BUT TO PUT THE MONEY, THE TAX
[00:10:03]
DOLLARS BACK INTO SOUTHLAKE? A LITTLE HISTORY OF ME.SO, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SOME OUTSIDER COMING IN.
I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
I MAYBE IT WAS THE WINE AT THE RESTAURANT OR WHATEVER.
SO YOU'RE STARTING TO PUT THE MATH TOGETHER AND SEE THAT I'M OLDER THAN I LOOK? I GREW UP IN EULESS, TEXAS.
I REMEMBER WHEN 114 WAS TWO LANES EAST AND WEST.
I'VE BEEN EDUCATED IN THAT PROCESS, AND NOW I'VE BEEN BACK HERE SINCE 2003.
I LIVE OVER IN THE PARK CITIES IN DALLAS.
NOT THAT I COULD HAVE AFFORDED IT AT THE TIME.
SO GOT A FAMILY, GOT TWO, TWO DAUGHTERS OVER THERE.
THEY'RE NAMED AFTER OUR RESTAURANTS.
I HAVE A PIZZA PLACE IN DALLAS CALLED PIZZA LEELA, AND LEELA IS MY 14 YEAR OLD.
I HAVE A FRENCH BISTRO CALLED SLOAN'S CORNER.
AND I NAMED IT AFTER MY 12 YEAR OLD.
AND I RESCUED A DOG FROM HOME DEPOT, AND I NAMED HER DAKOTA.
SO I'VE GOT ALL THE NAMES COVERED ON EVERYTHING.
SO THAT'S A LITTLE HISTORY OF US.
WE'RE NOT COMING IN HERE IN SOME BIG CORPORATION.
WE DON'T HAVE PARTNERS OR ANYTHING.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE OWNER. WE OWN AND WILL DEVELOP THIS AND BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND HOPEFULLY BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO ANYBODY TO COEXIST. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. MCINERNEY.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT THIS EVENING? IF SO, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND USE THE MICROPHONE IN THE AISLE.
GOOD EVENING. I'M HELEN CLARY.
I LIVE AT 415 SHADY LANE, AND I HAVE FOR 29 YEARS.
OKAY, SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT ACCESS FROM 114? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THAT'S A BIG MESS RIGHT NOW.
WELL, IS IT A MESS BECAUSE THEY'RE BUILDING ON IT OR.
IT'S A MESS BECAUSE THE BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, GET OFF AT KIMBALL.
YEAH. WE'RE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS TOO, BECAUSE IT WON'T BE ANY GOOD IF YOU GET TO COME THERE AND THEN YOU CAN'T GET IN OR OUT. SO WE KNOW THAT DOWN HERE ON 114, FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S A OKAY, THERE'S A PIPELINE RUNNING THROUGH HERE, TOO.
THERE'S AN OIL PIPELINE RUNNING THROUGH HERE THAT I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT, BUT WE'LL GET AROUND THAT.
IT'S A 20-FOOT EASEMENT RUNNING THROUGH THE PROPERTY.
AND THAT'S THAT LINE THAT SHADED LINE HERE.
SO WE GOT TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT THING.
SO YOU SEE THAT YOU SEE THIS TRIANGLE RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS THIS IS THE SERVICE ROAD RIGHT HERE.
YOU CAN PUT AN ACCESS ROAD IN HERE WITH TXDOT.
THEY THERE IS A KIRKWOOD, A KIRKWOOD.
YOU'RE GOOD. BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL.
OKAY. SO THE OTHER ROAD IS KIRKWOOD HERE, AND WE'RE SHOWING TWO ACCESS POINTS COMING OUT OF KIRKWOOD.
ONE OF THEM IS ALL THE WAY DOWN BY THE CHARLES SCHWAB ROADWAY.
CHARLES SCHWAB IS JUST ON THAT TOP CORNER THERE.
MAYBE I'M CONFUSED BECAUSE DID YOU CHANGE WHERE YOU WANT THE PROPERTY FROM LAST TIME YOU CAME? WAS IT OFF OF.
WE'RE THE FURTHEST LOCATION WEST IN SOUTHLAKE.
LITERALLY IF YOU STEP INTO THE STREET, YOU'RE IN TROPHY CLUB.
[00:15:08]
AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, WE WANT IT OFF KIMBALL.WELL, THAT MAKES MORE SENSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CLARIFICATION.
YEAH. WELL, NOW, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO COME DOWN THREE EXITS AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO EAT WITH ME.
ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR OUR APPLICANT THIS EVENING? OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE OUR FINAL APPLICANT THIS EVENING.
[3. SPIN2024-17 — An applicant is proposing a paved helipad for emergency uses at Methodist Southlake Medical Center located at 421 E. State Hwy 114 within SPIN Neighborhood #7.]
JAMIE PLUTZER IS HERE TO PRESENT SPIN 2024-17.AN APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A PAVED HELIPAD FOR EMERGENCY USES AT METHODIST SOUTHLAKE MEDICAL CENTER, LOCATED AT 421 EAST STATE HIGHWAY 114 WITHIN SPIN NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER SEVEN.
GOOD TO GO. GOOD TO GO. PERFECT.
YEAH. MY NAME IS JAMIE PLATZER, AND I'M HONORED TO BE HERE TONIGHT, SO THANK YOU.
I WORK FOR KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES.
I'M THE APPLICANT ON THIS, AND I'M HERE TO REPRESENT METHODIST.
MY NAME IS JOHN SULLENBERGER FROM METHODIST.
I'M IN OUR CORPORATE DEPARTMENT.
WE DO OUR ALL OUR PLANNING, CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN FOR THE FOR THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE.
WE ALSO HAVE MARK ROWAN WITH PERKINS, AND HE'S THE PROJECT ARCHITECT.
AND SO I GUESS MAYBE JUST WANT TO COMMEND SOUTHLAKE.
HONORED, HONORED TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
ALSO IN THE MAYOR'S VIDEO, HE MENTIONED THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
AND I THINK I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE PRETTY BORING TO WHAT YOU JUST SAW.
AND IT'S MORE I WOULD KIND OF COUCH THIS AS MAYBE AN ADDITION TO AN EXISTING DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S NOT VERY SHINY, BUT WHAT WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT IS PROPOSING TO CREATE A PROPER PAVED HELIPAD ON THE HOSPITAL CAMPUS. AS YOU'LL SEE ON THIS EXHIBIT, I KNOW IT'S ZOOMED OUT.
BUT THIS IS AN EXISTING HOSPITAL CAMPUS.
THE HELIPAD IS AN APPROVED ACCESSORY USE BY.
RIGHT, BUT THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY A PAVED HELIPAD ON THE CAMPUS.
THAT CIRCLE THAT YOU SEE KIND OF ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE, THERE IS THE AREA IN WHICH THEY CONDUCT THEIR CAREFLIGHT HELICOPTER OPERATION. THEY DO IT OUT OF A LITERALLY A GRASS FIELD.
AND AGAIN, THEY'RE ENABLED TO DO THIS BY RIGHT THIS THEY HAVE 8 TO 10 ESSENTIALLY TRIPS THAT OCCUR ROUGHLY PER YEAR.
SO IT'S NOT A VERY FREQUENT THING.
AND ADDITIONALLY IT'S ONLY FOR PATIENT EVACUATIONS.
SO WE'RE NOT BRINGING FOLKS IN.
AND SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF THAT, OF THAT OPERATION, BOTH FOR THE PATIENTS AND THE PATIENT CARE, BUT ALSO STAFF AND EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS BY CREATING, AGAIN, A PAVED HELIPAD WITH LIGHTS AND A PAVED SIDEWALK THAT WILL ACTUALLY CONNECT TO THE HOSPITAL FACILITY.
SO THAT'S REALLY ALL WE HAVE TO TO PRESENT.
THERE MIGHT BE A COUPLE OTHER GRAPHICS IN THERE THAT WE CAN SHARE.
MAYBE ONE ZOOMED IN ON THE AREA, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD.
JOHN. NO, I JUST SAY SO WHEN METHODIST GAINED THE PROPERTY, RIGHT, THE BECOMING MORE OF A HOSPITAL AS OPPOSED TO A SURGICAL CENTER, WHICH WAS WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT AS WITH OUR NEW ED, NATURALLY, YOU'RE TRYING TO CONTINUE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.
AS JAMIE MENTIONED, THE INTENT OF THIS, THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S NEW.
IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR THE FOR THE SOUTHLAKE CAMPUS FOR ABOUT THE PAST TWO YEARS.
AGAIN, IT'S ROUGHLY BEEN ABOUT 8 TO 10 TRIPS WE HAVE EVERY YEAR.
PATIENT COMES IN OR GETS PRESENTED WITH A CASE THAT NEEDS TO BE IMMEDIATE CARE.
CARE. FLIGHT GETS CALLED, THEY COME IN, PICK UP THE PATIENT, TAKE THEM TO ANOTHER FACILITY.
SO THAT IS THE INTENT HERE TODAY.
AS EVERYONE IS AWARE, I THINK OUR SOILS HERE AND OUR CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE IN TEXAS, WE HAVE SOME MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE GROUND OPENING UP AND CRACKING, AND IT'S BECOME QUITE A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR US, EVEN FOR CAREFLIGHT, FOR LANDING.
SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS BE ABLE TO PUT SOME SORT OF PAVE THE SMALLEST AMOUNT WE CAN IN ORDER TO HAVE A HELICOPTER SAFELY LAND AND BE CLOSE AND GET A PATIENT IMMEDIATELY OUT AS NEEDED. SO THAT'S THE INTENT.
WE'RE NOT SET UP AS A TRAUMA FACILITY WHERE WE'RE FLYING OR HAVING PATIENTS COME IN.
[00:20:02]
THIS IS MORE ABOUT GETTING PATIENTS OUT.I THINK THIS THIS EXHIBIT PROBABLY SHOWS IT BEST, BUT HERE IS A ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER.
THAT JUST SHOWS WHERE THE NEW PROPOSED LOCATION IS IN PROXIMITY TO THE HOSPITAL BUILDING ITSELF.
AND THAT I GUESS I WOULD ONLY THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT WOULD BE TO THE LOCATION OF IT IS IN ORDER TO WRITE FROM A STANDPOINT OF THE BUILDINGS, ALL THE REQUIREMENTS FROM THE FAA OF WHERE WE HAVE TO PUT THE HELIPAD TO AS WELL.
CORRECT. YEAH. PROPER SPACING.
THIS IS LADEN WITH PROPER SPACING FOR FAA.
AND THEN HERE IS THE PROPOSED APPROACH AND DEPARTURE PATHS.
AGAIN, SIMILAR TO WHAT THE FUNCTION IS TODAY.
PREVAILING WINDS IN DFW ARE NORTH TO SOUTH.
SO I SHOULD SAY NORTH IS TO THE LEFT ON THIS.
SO HELICOPTERS TAKE OFF INTO THE WIND.
AND AGAIN, PREVAILING WINDS IN DFW ARE ALMOST ALWAYS NORTH TO SOUTH.
SO THESE ARE THE ANTICIPATED APPROACH AND DEPARTURE PATHS PER FAA GUIDELINES.
SO I'LL GO BACK TO THAT ORIGINAL EXHIBIT.
SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT ANYBODY MAY HAVE.
I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR APPLICANT THIS EVENING.
THANK YOU, GUYS FOR BEING HERE.
THANK YOU. I'M CURIOUS, IS THERE ANY KIND OF PROJECTION ON HOW MUCH INCREASE TRAFFIC THIS HELIPAD MIGHT BRING? GREAT. GREAT QUESTION YET AGAIN.
OTHER THAN THE ED THAT WE DID EXPANSION ON PROBABLY ABOUT MAYBE TWO YEARS AGO ALMOST NOW.
IT'S MORE ABOUT, AGAIN, THE 8 TO 10 THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S REALLY WHAT ALL WE'VE SEEN AND IS.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU MENTIONED THAT IT'S ALREADY LIKE A RIGHT OF USE AS PART OF THE PROPERTY, BUT IS THERE'S NOTHING TO PREVENT THE HOSPITAL IF IT WERE TO CHANGE ITS HOWEVER THAT WORKS ITS RATING OR ITS GRADING TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THOSE TRAUMA PATIENTS IF THEY DECIDED TO PUT ONCE THE HELIPAD IS THERE, IF THEY SAID, WELL, LET'S GO AHEAD AND PUT IN A TRAUMA CENTER SO WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HELIPAD.
OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
SO IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LAND, RIGHT? WITH ALL THAT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.
WHETHER OR NOT THAT CHANGES IN THE FUTURE IS UNKNOWN AT THIS POINT, BUT WE CAN'T GROW ANY BIGGER UNTIL WE CAN BUILD MORE, RIGHT? RIGHT. SO THERE'S NO IT SEEMS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I GO BY THE HOSPITAL, IT SEEMS PRETTY UNDERUTILIZED RIGHT NOW.
IT SEEMS PRETTY EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME.
SO I WOULD THINK THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF CAPACITY THERE RIGHT NOW.
AND SO JUST I MEAN, I LIVE JUST SOUTH IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, JUST SOUTH THERE.
SO I GUESS MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THERE'S A LOT OF CAPACITY IN THE HOSPITAL AND THEY DO WHATEVER THEY NEED TO DO TO TRY AND JUSTIFY THE POWER PLANT THAT Y'ALL PUT IN THERE, THAT, THAT THE HELICOPTER TRAFFIC WOULD INCREASE.
IT'S NOT ABOUT BRINGING PATIENTS IN.
THAT'S ALL THIS IS RELATED TO.
THAT'S ALL IT'S BEEN RELATED TO SINCE WE'VE OPENED.
THAT WOULD BE ALL THINGS THAT HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THIS WHOLE GROUP AGAIN.
EVERYONE. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. THIS WILL CONCLUDE OUR SPIN MEETING THIS EVENING.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING OUT AND SPENDING YOUR EVENING WITH ME.
AND BEING A PARTICIPATION OR PARTICIPANT IN OUR PROCESS.
AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, A SPIN MEETING REPORT WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE AFTER THE MEETING TAKES PLACE.
WE WILL INCLUDE ANY QUESTION OR COMMENTS THAT WERE SAID VERBATIM TONIGHT IN THE MEETING.
INTERESTED PARTIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THE CASE THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, AND OUR MEETINGS ARE RECORDED AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS AFTER THE MEETING TAKES PLACE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
