[3. Honors & Recognition: Rare Disease Day in Southlake Proclamation]

BUT FIRST I'D LIKE TO WELCOME FROM EUBANKS INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL THE CAMPUS SECRETARY, AMBER BRABHAM, WHO WILL SPEAK ABOUT THIS RECOGNITION AND WHAT RARE DISEASE DAY MEANS TO OUR COMMUNITY.

COME ON DOWN. HI, MY NAME IS AMBER BRABHAM.

HI, MAYOR MCCASKILL AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT RARE DISEASE DAY.

MY NAME IS ARDEN SCHNEIDER. MY NAME IS CORA.

THE CLINIC IS A WELCOMING GROUP OF OUR FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADERS, WHERE WE COME TOGETHER FOR KINDNESS, MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY.

I'M JULIA. WE LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT DISEASES THROUGH HANDS ON ACTIVITIES, MAKING POSTERS AND READINGS. HI, MY NAME IS KATE SAWICKI. HI. MY NAME IS CLAIRE. WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN 7000 RARE DISEASES.

FOR EXAMPLE, TURNER SYNDROME, CYSTIC FIBROSIS AND GAUCHER DISEASE.

HI, MY NAME IS SULLIVAN. MANY DO NOT HAVE CURES, BUT RESEARCHERS ARE WORKING HARD ON FINDING A CURE.

AND PEOPLE WITH RARE DISEASES HAVE TO SEE DOCTORS WHO SPECIALIZE IN THEIR CONDITION, WHICH MEANS SOMETIMES HAVING TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE.

RARE DISEASE AFFECTS FEWER THAN 1 IN 2000 PEOPLE, WHICH IS ABOUT 3.5 TO 5.9% OF THE POPULATION.

72% OF THE RARE DISEASES ARE GENETIC DISEASES, WHICH MEANS THAT IT HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN BY PARENTS.

OH, HI, MY NAME IS OLIVIA. I'M VIOLET AND RARE DISEASE DAY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT HELPS PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT RARE DISEASES AND HOW TO SUPPORT AND CELEBRATE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

[00:05:02]

SHE IS THE FIRST KNOWN CASE OF HER CONDITION.

BY RAISING AWARENESS FOR RARE DISEASE DAY, DOCTORS WILL BE ABLE TO HELP MORE PEOPLE LIKE HER AND FIND A CURE.

HI, I'M ABBY. WE CAN COME TOGETHER AS A CITY TO SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBORS WITH RARE DISEASES AND BRING AWARENESS TO ALL.

HI, MY NAME IS SUTTON. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT.

WE HOPE THAT YOU CAN SEE WHY RARE DISEASE IS IMPORTANT TO NOT JUST US, BUT OUR SOUTHLAKE AND DRAGON COMMUNITY AS WELL.

HI, I'M MORGAN STAHLHEBER, I'M A SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST FOR CARROLL ISD.

AND THESE GIRLS HAVE MADE SUCH AN IMPACT IN THE DISTRICT.

AND SO I'M GLAD TO BE HERE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT.

YES, THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. WHEN DID YOU, WHEN DID THIS START? LIKE, I DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF IT. WHEN DID THE RARE DISEASE DAY START OR WHEN DID THE CISD CAMPUSES START LOOKING AT IT AND RECOGNIZING IT? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ON THAT? SO THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT MORGAN AND I HAVE COME TOGETHER TO MAKE KINDNESS CLUB.

AND SO, MY SON ACTUALLY HAS A RARE DISEASE. SO THAT'S HOW I BECAME FAMILIAR WITH IT.

SO IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS, I THINK THAT R ARE DISEASE DAY HAS BECOME RECOGNIZED, BUT WITH HAVING A STUDENT AT OUR SCHOOL AS WELL, WE WANTED THEM TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE JUST AS MUCH A PART OF OUR CAMPUS AS ANYONE ELSE IS.

AND SO WE WANT TO HELP EDUCATE OTHERS SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES THAT EVERYONE HAS.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. ALL FOUR OF MY KIDS ARE DRAGONS ALUMS OF EUBANK, SO WE HAD GREAT EXPERIENCES THERE.

SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT ON THAT CAMPUS AND LOOK FORWARD TO THAT SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE CISD COMMUNITY.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WHILE YOU'RE STILL STANDING, WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE THAT I'D LIKE TO READ, AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A COPY. WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE AS SOON AS I GET DONE READING IT, SO NOBODY LEAVE FOR A FEW MINUTES.

BUT HERE'S THE PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL.

WHEREAS THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 7000 RARE DISEASES AND CONDITIONS, EACH AFFECTING FEWER THAN 200,000 AMERICANS IN THE UNITED STATES, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. AND WHEREAS EACH OF THESE DISEASES MAY AFFECT SMALL NUMBERS OF PEOPLE, RARE DISEASES AS A GROUP AFFECT AN ESTIMATED 25 TO 30 MILLION AMERICANS, INCLUDING RESIDENTS OF SOUTHLAKE.

AND WHEREAS MANY RARE DISEASES ARE SERIOUS AND DEBILITATING CONDITIONS THAT HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THOSE AFFECTED.

AND WHEREAS WHILE MORE THAN 620 DRUGS AND BIOLOGICS HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR THE TREATMENT OF OVER 1000 RARE DISEASES, ACCORDING TO THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION.

90% OF RARE DISEASES DO NOT HAVE AN FDA APPROVED TREATMENT, AND WHEREAS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AFFECTED BY RARE DISEASES OFTEN EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS SUCH AS DELAYS IN OBTAINING AN ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS, DIFFICULTY FINDING A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER WITH EXPERTISE IN THEIR CONDITION, AND A LACK OF ACCESS TO TREATMENTS OR ANCILLARY SERVICES.

AND WHEREAS OBSERVING THIS DAY SERVES AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF THOSE LIVING WITH RARE DISEASES, THEIR CAREGIVERS AND THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS DEDICATED TO ADVANCING TREATMENT AND CARE.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, MAYOR SHAWN MCCASKILL, ON BEHALF OF THE SOUTHLAKE CITY COUNCIL AND ALL OF THE RESIDENTS OF SOUTHLAKE, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM FEBRUARY 28TH, 2025 AS RARE DISEASE DAY IN SOUTHLAKE AND I ENCOURAGE ALL RESIDENTS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF RARE DISEASES, SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IMPACTED BY THEM, AND PROMOTE ONGOING RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES AND FIND CURES.

[3.A. Mayor's Report]

AND THE SOUTHLAKE WOMEN'S CLUB HOSTED THE VALENTINE'S DAY LUNCH FOR OUR SENIOR CITIZENS.

WHAT A GREAT EVENT. LIKE OVER 120 SENIOR CITIZENS.

IT WAS A SELLOUT, JUST A FIRST CLASS EVENT OVER AT THE MARK.

EVERYONE WAS HAPPY. IT WAS JUST SO MUCH FUN TO GET TO BE A SMALL PART OF THAT.

SO THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM AT THE SOUTHLAKE WOMEN'S CLUB. DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT EVENT A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT WAS PERFECT. WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME. OF COURSE, YOU WERE THE STAR OF THE SHOW THAT WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THE MAYOR WAS COMING, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A BIG DEAL. YOU KNOW, IT'S A WONDERFUL EVENT. WE STARTED ONCE WE DECIDED TO PUT ON ART IN THE SQUARE NOW, 25 YEARS AGO, WHICH IS COMING UP END OF APRIL. APRIL 25TH, 27TH.

SHAMELESS PLUG. WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING TO CONTINUE GIVING BACK TO THE SENIORS.

AND SO THAT WAS BORN OUT OF THAT. AND WHEN I GOT INVOLVED WITH IT, WE WERE STILL OVER AT THE PARKWOOD SITE AND THAT IN THAT HOUSE OVER THERE.

AND JUST TO SEE IT, HOW MUCH IT'S GROWN AND JUST TO SEE THEM ALL IN THEIR VALENTINE'S ATTIRE AND THEY'RE HAPPY.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, BINGO IS SERIOUS, SERIOUS BUSINESS.

WE PLAY BINGO AFTER LUNCH. BUT YEAH, IT'S JUST A REALLY HEARTWARMING LUNCH EVENT TO BE AT, AND WE SOUTHLAKE WOMEN'S CLUB THANKS THE CITY FOR ALL THEIR SUPPORT AND HELP WITH IT AS WELL.

IT'S A GREAT TEAMWORK AND IT'S JUST IT'S A DAY WHERE YOU WALK AWAY AND YOU HAVE A SMILE ON YOUR FACE THE REST OF THE DAY.

WELL SAID. SO, CONTINUING THE THEME OF ART IN THE SQUARE, AS YOU PROBABLY NOTICED, WE HAD WE HAVE THE NEW ART OR SOME OF THE NEW ART IN THE TOWN HALL LOBBY. WE HAD ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON THE STROKES OF ART IN THE SQUARE, THE 25TH, GETTING READY FOR THE 25TH.

[00:15:02]

A GREAT TURNOUT. LOTS OF FUN AS WE GET FOR GET LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 25TH ANNUAL ART IN THE SQUARE.

THERE WERE 26 BENEFICIARIES CHARITIES AND NONPROFITS THAT ARE GOING TO BE RECEIVING THE FUNDS.

IS THAT RIGHT? 26 CORRECT. DID YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF THOSE BENEFICIARIES OR ANYTHING? SO, IT'S A IT'S ART IN THE SQUARE IS PRETTY UNIQUE ACROSS THE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

WE'RE NATIONALLY RANKED. WE ARE EVERY YEAR. HAVE BEEN FOR 24 YEARS.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS UNIQUE TO OUR FESTIVAL, WE FEEL LIKE WE DON'T KNOW OF ANY IN THE NATIONALLY RANKED ART FESTIVALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT ARE 100% FUNDRAISERS LIKE OURS. AND WE TAKE PRIDE IN THAT.

WE HAVE NO PAID STAFF. IT'S ALL VOLUNTEER. WE RUN ABOUT A THOUSAND OR SO VOLUNTEERS OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND TO MAKE THAT FESTIVAL HAPPEN.

IT'S A GREAT COORDINATED EFFORT BETWEEN THE CITY SOUTHLAKE WOMEN'S CLUB AND KITE REALTY.

IT'S A GREAT PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ALL THREE ENTITIES, BUT THE GIVING THE TWO PIECES THAT ARE REALLY THREE PIECES THAT ARE HUGE ARE OUR ART FESTIVAL AND THE CALIBER OF ART THAT WE BRING EVERY YEAR.

AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS UNTIL I WAS TALKING TO THE GAL IN CHARGE OF THE ART SIDE OF IT, TERRI MESSING.

WE AVERAGE ABOUT 45, 50% TURNOVER IN ARTISTS EACH YEAR.

AND SO THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A LOT OF FRESH NEW ART AT THE FESTIVAL, WHICH I JUST I HAD NO IDEA.

SO, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW OUT THERE. THE GIVING BACK PORTION OF IT.

WE GIVE WE SERVE CHARITIES THAT SUPPORT WOMEN, CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN NORTHEAST TARRANT COUNTY.

AND EVERY YEAR, IT'S A PROCESS WE GO THROUGH.

WE HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT HAS THE DIFFICULT TASK OF PICKING THOSE CHARITIES.

IT'S HARD TO SAY NO, BUT SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, WE JUST.

THERE ARE REASONS FOR THAT. SO, IT'S A GREAT COMBINATION.

WE HAVE APEX ARTS LEAGUE. I DON'T WANT TO SAY TOO MANY.

THERE'S 26. I DON'T HAVE THEM MEMORIZED, BUT APEX ARTS LEAGUE.

MIRACLE LEAGUE SOUTHLAKE, SOUTHLAKE SHARKS. GRACE.

I CAN STILL SHINE IN CALL A RIDE SOUTHLAKE. WHICH IS A ONE OF OUR BELOVED ORGANIZATIONS THAT GIVES RIDES TO SENIORS AND SO AND SO MANY MORE.

SO, THIS KICKED IT OFF ON SUNDAY. WE ANNOUNCED OUR BENEFICIARIES.

AND THEN THE ART THAT'S HANGING IN THE FOYER OF TOWN HALL OUTSIDE THOSE DOORS.

THOSE ARE OUR FEATURED ARTISTS. AND YOU CAN THERE'S A QR CODE AND YOU AND YOU CAN VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST, AND WE'LL SEE WHO WINS AT THE FESTIVAL. BUT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER. MAYOR, YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF THE WEATHER. WE'LL ACTIVATE THE BUBBLE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. DEAL.

AND ALSO, LAST FRIDAY, FIRST FINANCIAL BANK CELEBRATED ITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF BEING HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY WERE THE FIRST BANK IN SOUTHLAKE UNTIL WE WENT TO THAT EVENT. AND THEY HAD SOME VERY HUMBLE BEGINNINGS IN A SINGLE WIDE TRAILER.

NOT EVEN A DOUBLE WIDE, JUST A SINGLE WIDE TRAILER.

BUT WHAT A GREAT STORY OF HOW THAT BANK STARTED, AND LOTS OF PROMINENT PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN GETTING THAT BANK GOING.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO A VIDEO LATER THIS WEEK KIND OF CAPTURE THAT HISTORY AND THAT STORY OF FIRST FINANCIAL BANK GETTING STARTED AS THE FIRST BANK IN SOUTHLAKE SO. THAT'S IT FOR THE MAYOR'S REPORT.

I'LL TURN IT OVER TO ALISON ORTOWSKI FOR THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.

[3.B. City Manager's Report]

WE HAVE TWO ITEMS FOR YOU TONIGHT ON THE MANAGER'S REPORT.

AND FOR THE FIRST ITEM, I'D LIKE TO INVITE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES VINCE ESPINOZA FORWARD, ALONG WITH OUR PICKLEBALL MANAGER, ERIC CLAY.

IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT OUR PICKLEBALL FACILITY HAS BEEN OPEN FOR A YEAR.

SO THEY ARE HERE TO PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE ON OUR FIRST YEAR OF OPERATIONS.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I BROUGHT MY NOTES SO I WON'T FORGET ANYTHING FOR TONIGHT. I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TO SHARE SOME GREAT NEWS REGARDING SOUTHLAKE PICKLEBALL COMPLEX.

THAT WAS A RECIPIENT OF THE TEXAS RECREATION AND PARKS SOCIETY NORTH REGION FACILITY DESIGN EXCELLENCE AWARD.

THIS AWARD SPEAKS TO NOT ONLY THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF THE COMPLEX, BUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF DESIGNING THE FACILITY AND ITS OPERATIONS THAT STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO WITH CITIZEN INPUT AND THEN MADE ITS WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, INCLUSION IN THE MASTER PLAN COUNCIL COMMITTEES, AND FINALLY WAS OPENED AROUND THIS TIME LAST YEAR.

THIS FACILITY AND THIS AWARD IS A TESTAMENT TO THE PROCESS OF HOW THINGS CAN GO FROM AN IDEA TO AN IDEA, TO A NEED TO A REALITY THROUGH THE HARD WORK OF VOLUNTEERS LIKE YOURSELVES.

AND WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE THIS AWARD WITH US HERE TONIGHT.

NEXT, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR PICKLEBALL MANAGER, MR.

[00:20:01]

BUT FIRST, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON ERIC.

GOT A LITTLE BIT OF ONE MORE PAGE. THIS IS IMPRESSIVE.

OKAY. ERIC HAS BEEN WORKING IN THE TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL PROFESSION FOR OVER 30 YEARS COMBINED.

AFTER A BRIEF COLLEGIATE TENNIS PLAYING CAREER, ERIC BEGAN COACHING AND TEACHING TENNIS LOCALLY AT BROOKHAVEN COUNTRY CLUB.

AFTER 13 YEARS AT BROOKHAVEN, ERIC MOVED TO AUSTIN TO WORK WITH THE UNITED STATES TENNIS ASSOCIATION TEXAS DIVISION AS THE STATE'S JUNIOR TEAM TENNIS COORDINATOR.

ERIC RETURNED TO DALLAS AFTER CLOSE TO EIGHT YEARS IN AUSTIN TO BECOME THE CITY OF COPPELL'S WAGON WHEEL TENNIS CENTER FACILITY MANAGER.

ABOUT MIDWAY THROUGH ERIC'S TIME IN WAGON WHEEL AND A LITTLE TIME BEFORE RENAMING THE WAGON WHEEL TENNIS CENTER TO BE THE WAGON WHEEL TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL CENTER, ERIC BEGAN HIS JOURNEY IN PICKLEBALL. ERIC SPENT CLOSE TO 11 YEARS AS A FACILITY MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF COPPELL, AND HAS BEEN WITH THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF. WE ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY TO HAVE HIM AND HE'S GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU WHAT A GREAT YEAR WE'VE HAD SO FAR.

HOW ARE YOU? THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. LET'S GET GOING.

PLEASURE TO BE HERE TODAY. PLEASURE TO GET TO SHARE A FUN FIRST YEAR OF STATS AND HIGHLIGHTS.

THIS IS FROM FEBRUARY TO FEBRUARY. WE'RE PRETTY PROUD OF THE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO LAUNCH THIS FIRST YEAR.

ONE OF THE PRIMARY THINGS, THESE FIRST FEW SLIDES, THEY HIGHLIGHT THE SERVICES, PROGRAMS, KIND OF THE BASICS, THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT WE'RE DOING CURRENTLY AT THE PICKLEBALL COMPLEX.

MEMBERSHIPS ARE A BIG, BIG DEAL. BIG DRIVER OVER THERE.

HAD OVER JUST OVER 3700 MEMBERSHIPS TOTAL RESIDENT MEMBERS, JUST OVER 3500.

AND OUR NONRESIDENT MEMBERS OVER 200 MEMBERSHIPS FROM FEBRUARY TO FEBRUARY.

THIS IS A COST RECOVERY. IT IS A REVENUE GENERATING OPPORTUNITY THERE.

SO, AS YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM THERE, THAT 45,000 IS BASICALLY FROM THE NONRESIDENT MEMBERSHIPS.

OUR NON NONRESIDENT MEMBERS. THEY PAY $40 A MONTH TO BE A MEMBER AT THE SOUTHLAKE PICKLEBALL COMPLEX.

THAT'S WHERE THAT NUMBER IS DERIVED FROM. RESERVATIONS ONE OF THE BREAD AND BUTTER PROGRAMS THAT WE DO, ALLOWING OUR MEMBERS TO RESERVE COURTS SO THEY CAN HAVE THEIR OWN TIME, THEIR OWN SOCIAL GROUPS PLAYING PICKLEBALL.

WE OFFER TWO, TWO VARIATIONS. A TWO HOUR RENTAL, ONE HOUR RENTAL JUST HAD OVER 2800 RESERVATIONS IN THE 200 OR 2 HOUR CATEGORY, AND A LITTLE OVER 1800 IN THE ONE HOUR CATEGORY.

AGAIN, EACH REVENUE GENERATING COST RECOVERY OPPORTUNITY.

JUST OVER $90,000 IN COURT RESERVATIONS FROM THIS FIRST YEAR.

RETAIL WASN'T QUITE HIGH ON THE LIST WHEN WE FIRST STARTED, BUT WE HAD A SPACE WE HAD A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO BRING SOMETHING DIFFERENT TOWARDS THE PICKLEBALL COMPLEX. THROUGH RELATIONSHIPS WITH PICKLEBALL VENDORS, WE'RE ABLE TO BRING IN EQUIPMENT.

BASIC STUFF, PADDLES, PICKLE BALLS. KIND OF ACCESSORIES THAT PEOPLE WOULD NEED TO START PLAYING PICKLEBALL PRETTY MUCH RIGHT AWAY AND UTILIZE THE SPACE TO PUT UP, PUT SOME PADDLES, PROFESSIONALLY CURATED. SO WE ARE OFFERING DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS FOR WHATEVER ANYBODY MIGHT WANT IN TERMS OF THEIR EQUIPMENT.

DID VERY WELL. $26,000 IN ACCESSORIES, PICKLEBALL EQUIPMENT, AND IN CASE SOMEONE'S LOW ON BLOOD SUGAR, WE'VE GOT LIGHT CONCESSIONS, BOTTLED WATERS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND AGAIN, ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY THERE. JUST OVER $5,000 IN REVENUE THERE, TOTALING FROM FEBRUARY TO FEBRUARY THAT $31,000.

PRETTY PROUD OF THAT, CONSIDERING THAT SPACE WASN'T INITIALLY DESIGNED FOR RETAIL STORES.

GROUP LESSONS AND PROGRAMS. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A FLEX EARLY ON.

THIS WASN'T IN OUR PROGRAMING IDEAS, BUT WE HAD A LOT OF LOT OF FEEDBACK, A LOT OF PEOPLE INTERESTED IN LEARNING TO PLAY PICKLEBALL, LEARNING TO IMPROVE THEIR PICKLEBALL LEVELS. SO MYSELF AND OUR PICKLEBALL COORDINATOR KIND OF SHIFTED GEARS A LITTLE BIT AND MADE SOME PROGRAMING AVAILABLE.

PICKLEBALL 101, 102. OBVIOUSLY, THE GOAL THERE IS TO GET PEOPLE STARTED ABLE TO ENJOY THEIR MEMBERSHIPS, GET ON THE COURTS PLAYING PICKLEBALL SAFELY AND OBVIOUSLY ENJOYING THEIR MEMBERSHIP.

PRETTY PROUD OF A PROGRAM. SUCCESS RATE OF 93%.

PRETTY MUCH MEANS WHEN WE PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE, WE SCHEDULED IT.

PEOPLE WERE VERY MUCH INCLINED TO TAKE US UP ON THAT CLASS AND REGISTER FOR THAT CLASS.

THE CLASSES THAT DIDN'T MAKE OBVIOUSLY, AT A TIME WHEN JUST WEREN'T CONVENIENT FOR, FOR MOST FOLKS.

[00:25:02]

BASICALLY, THAT'S A FALL SESSION. WE KIND OF SHUT DOWN AS, AS WE GOT A LITTLE FURTHER INTO THE YEAR, BUT THAT'S A LIMITED SAMPLING. YEAR ONE BY THE NUMBERS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT'S A SUMMARY OF ALL THE DIFFERENT COST RECOVERY EFFORTS, THE REVENUE EFFORTS TOTAL CHECK INS.

WE HAD A LITTLE OVER 27,000 PEOPLE CHECK IN FOR A PROGRAM, A LESSON, A RESERVATION FROM FEBRUARY TO FEBRUARY.

OUR NET PROMOTER SCORE, IN TERMS OF ALL THOSE FOLKS LEAVING US FEEDBACK ENCOURAGING US, WE HAD AN 83.33 WHICH I'M TOLD IS REALLY, REALLY GOOD. SO PRETTY PROUD OF THAT.

YES. THANK YOU. FIRST YEAR RESPONSIVENESS. THIS IS WHERE WE HAD TO SHOW SOME AGILITY EARLY ON.

SOMETIMES THE PLAN DOESN'T REALLY MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL THE FOLKS, ALL THE MEMBERS.

SO PUTTING BRAINS TOGETHER WE QUICKLY NOTICED THAT PEOPLE WERE USING THEIR GUEST PASSES.

OUR RESIDENT MEMBERS ARE GIVEN 12 GUEST PASSES FOR THE YEAR.

AND FOLKS WERE BLOWING THROUGH THOSE. THEY WERE REALLY EXCITED BRINGING OUT THEIR FAMILY, THEIR FRIENDS.

THEY JUST REALLY WANTED TO SHOWCASE THE FACILITY.

SO WE NEEDED SOMETHING TO HELP ENCOURAGE PEOPLE BRINGING THEIR FRIENDS, THEIR BUDDIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND NOT JUST THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE SEASON.

SO, WE CREATED A DAILY PASS. THE DAILY PASS IS A PASS THAT FOR $10, SOMEONE CAN PURCHASE AND BRING THEIR FRIENDS, FAMILY AND ENJOY OUR OPEN PLAY, ENJOY OUR COURT RESERVATION SYSTEM.

AND WHEN WE STARTED THIS IN OCTOBER UNTIL FEBRUARY, WE'VE ALREADY HAD OVER 200 PEOPLE TAKE US UP ON THAT OPPORTUNITY.

SO JUST A UNIQUE WAY TO GET PEOPLE INTO THE FACILITY, SEE WHAT WE'RE OFFERING, SEE THE AMAZING DEDICATED PICKLEBALL COURTS.

DROP IN RESERVATION, THE ONE HOUR RESERVATION I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY.

UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THAT IT WASN'T AVAILABLE ONLINE, YOU HAD TO ACTUALLY SHOW UP AT THE SHOP, BE FACE TO FACE WITH ONE OF OUR ATTENDANTS TO ACTUALLY UTILIZE THAT.

JUST A LITTLE BIT INCONVENIENT. SO WE SHIFTED GEARS AND WE MADE THIS OPTION AVAILABLE ONLINE THROUGH OUR COURT RESERVE APP.

EXTREMELY POPULAR. NOW OUR MEMBERS COULD BE ON THEIR APP WHEREVER THEY ARE BOOKING THAT ONE HOUR, ONE HOUR RESERVATION, WHICH IS EXTREMELY POPULAR AT VARIOUS TIMES.

IN ADDITION TO MAKING IT MORE CONVENIENT, MORE FLEXIBLE, THE PRICE INCREASE FROM 15 OR I'M SORRY, FROM $10 TO $15 MADE IT A LITTLE MORE. WITH A TWO HOUR RESERVATION, $30 MADE A LITTLE MORE SENSE.

IT WAS A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE WERE OFFERING AND WHAT THE EXPECTATION WAS.

PRIVATE AND GROUP RENTAL REVISION. EARLY ON, WE FOUND OUT THAT OUR GROUP IN PRIVATE RENTAL, WHILE SEEMINGLY CONVENIENT, MAYBE WASN'T AS FLEXIBLE AS SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE INTERESTED IN UTILIZING THAT OPTION WOULD LIKE.

SO, WE GOT TOGETHER AND MADE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE USER FRIENDLY BY MAKING IT AN HOURLY RENTAL WITH A TWO HOUR MINIMUM.

SO, BOTH PRIVATE RENTAL OR I'M SORRY, PRIVATE AND GROUP RENTALS.

THEY BOTH NOW HAVE THE BENEFIT OF ANYBODY THEY INVITE, WHETHER IT'S FAMILY, FRIENDS.

THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO COME AND JOIN THAT.

THAT EVENT, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF THE FOLKS THAT WE'RE PROVIDING FEEDBACK, WE'RE INTERESTED IN SEEING SEASONAL USE FIRST. WE GOT A VERY GOOD SAMPLING FROM THE SUMMER.

ALL THE PEOPLE PLAYING. WE NEEDED TO EXTEND OUR HOURS IN THE EVENING TIME INSTEAD OF THE 9 P.M.

SHUTTING DOWN. CLOSING TIME REFLECTS THAT TO 10 P.M.

AND THEN, QUITE AS TEXAS HEAT WILL TELL YOU, PEOPLE WANTING TO BEAT THE HEAT AND GET THERE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

SO, WE SHIFTED OUR OPENING, OUR OPENING PLAY HOURS TO 7 A.M.

SO THAT PEOPLE COULD GET IN AND START PLAYING BEFORE THE TEXAS HEAT GOT THE BETTER OF THEM.

SO, TRACKING THAT DATA ALL YEAR LONG. NOW WE HAVE THAT DATA FOR NEXT YEAR AND BEING ABLE TO SHIFT OUR HOURS A LITTLE MORE EFFICIENTLY, A LITTLE MORE EFFECTIVELY, SO PEOPLE CAN ENJOY PICKLEBALL WHEN IT FITS THEIR NEEDS AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE WEATHER SO MUCH.

RALLY AROUND THE COMMUNITY. THIS SLIDE IS TALKING ABOUT SOME OF OUR SPECIAL EVENTS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH.

OTHER DIVISIONS IN THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT OR OTHER COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS AROUND SOUTHLAKE, SOUTHLAKE YOUTH ACTION COMMISSION, CLUB METRO, AND EVEN THE SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTER.

WE'RE ALL ABLE TO COME OUT AND GET A FEEL FOR THE FACILITY.

WE'RE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THOSE FOLKS THROUGH OTHER TEAMMATES, AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE SOUTHLAKE PICKLEBALL COMPLEX WAS AVAILABLE TO THEM.

THEY GOT TO SEE AND ENJOY THE AMENITIES. AS YOU CAN SEE IN SOME OF THE PHOTOS, SHAWN MYSELF WERE ABLE TO GET OUT AND HELP WITH A LITTLE BIT OF INSTRUCTION, A LITTLE HIGH FIVE, A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT TO COME BACK OUT AND POTENTIALLY USE THE FACILITY KNOWING THAT IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THEIR OWN BACKYARDS.

[00:30:07]

WHILE WE WERE ABLE TO OFFER THE 101 OR 101 AND 102 CLASSES, WE GOT A LOT OF FEEDBACK THAT WHAT'S FOR THE INTERMEDIATE PLAYER, WHAT'S FOR THE ADVANCED PLAYER, THE TOURNAMENT PLAYERS, THAT KIND OF THING. SO, WE'RE HOPING WITH BRINGING ON SOME CONTRACT INSTRUCTORS THEY CAN MEET THAT NEED FOR THEIR FOR OUR MEMBERS. AND THEN WITH THE GROUP IN PRIVATE RENTALS, THAT'S GOING TO BE A FOCUS.

WE'RE OBVIOUSLY INTERESTED IN SHOWCASING THE FACILITY TO MORE PEOPLE.

ALL THE PEOPLE WITH THE FLEXIBILITY WE HOPE IN 2025 WE DO WE DO GET A FEW MORE GROUP AND PRIVATE RENTALS OUT THERE.

THANK YOU. GREAT REPORT. GREAT NEWS. AND THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.

I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT PICKLEBALL COMPLEX HAS BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS.

EVEN GOING BACK TO THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND PROCESS, IT WAS SMOOTH, AND THAT SUCCESS HAS CARRIED FORWARD INTO OPERATION.

SO THANK YOU TO YOUR WHOLE TEAM AT MAKING IT HAPPEN OVER THIS FIRST YEAR, AND IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE IT BEING USED SO WELL AND SO MUCH, AND EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING IT. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCIL. I JUST WAS INVOLVED IN THAT WHEN I WAS ON THE PARKS BOARD.

SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW IT'S GROWN, THE FLEXIBILITY.

WE PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT KATHY RANDY WILLIAMSON, MYSELF AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO ELSE BUT AND DAVID AND YOU PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO PROGRAMING AND SCHEDULING, AND I'M GLAD YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN LIGHT ON YOUR FEET AND ADJUSTED AS NEEDED.

I ALSO, WHEN ONE OF OUR STEPS AS SOUTHLAKE, WE WENT AROUND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT FACILITIES AND WE WENT TO YOUR FACILITY, AND WE TALKED TO HIM AND WE REALLY LIKED HIM.

I GOT IN THE CAR AND I SAID, WE NEED HIM. AND DAVID MILLER WENT OUT AND GOT YOU AND BROUGHT YOU HERE AND STOLE YOU FROM COPPELL, WHICH WAS A VERY SMART MOVE ON OUR PART. YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU WERE DOING, AND I'M JUST SO EXCITED TO SEE THE SUCCESS OF PICKLEBALL.

YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. YEAH.

OH GO AHEAD. TO ECHO WHAT FRANCES SAID, I JUST LOVED THROUGHOUT YOUR PRESENTATION, HEARING ABOUT THE FLEXIBILITY AND HOW YOU GUYS WERE ABLE TO BE FLEXIBLE IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, AND IN DOING SO, SAW MORE SUCCESS WITH DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, DIFFERENT WAYS PEOPLE CAN PLAY AND ALL THOSE THINGS.

I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.

DID WE HAVE ANY AND I THINK THE REVENUE PIECE IS GREAT.

DID WE HAVE ANY ANTICIPATED REVENUE GOING IN, OR WERE WE JUST KIND OF LIKE HOPING THERE WOULD BE WOULD BE SOME.

WHAT DOES THAT NUMBER LOOK LIKE? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I DON'T NEED I DON'T. IT'S A HIGH LEVEL QUESTION.

SINCE THIS IS I'M A YEAR IN HERE. ALSO, I STARTED IN JANUARY WHEN IT WAS ALMOST GETTING BUILT OUT, BUT THERE WAS PROBABLY SOME PROJECTIONS WHEN WE WHEN WE STARTED, THERE WASN'T A TARGET SET, A COST RECOVERY TARGET SET FOR THE FIRST YEAR.

NOT FEBRUARY TO FEBRUARY, BUT THE FIRST YEAR WE'RE IN OPERATIONS.

WE HAD A 33% COST RECOVERY MARK. PROBABLY THE CAVEAT THERE IS FROM WHEN I WAS HIRED IN SEPTEMBER, ALL THE WAY UP TO FEBRUARY 21ST, WE WEREN'T OPERATING.

WE WERE GETTING THINGS SET UP RIGHT, DEVELOPING.

SO IT'S KIND OF A WEIRD SAMPLING. SO FAR THIS YEAR, WE'RE TRACKING AT 44% COST RECOVERY.

SO, WHETHER THERE WAS A TARGET SET. RIGHT. I'M UNAWARE OF THAT.

IT'S GOOD TO HAVE GOALS. RIGHT. YEAH. NO. YEAH.

GREAT JOB, GREAT JOB. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU.

YEAH. I'LL JUST ADD MY CONGRATULATIONS AS WELL.

WHAT A SUCCESS STORY FOR THE FIRST YEAR. AND I THINK MORE IMPORTANTLY TO ME IS THE FACT THAT RATHER THAN JUST SAYING, HEY, HERE'S ALL THE THINGS WE'RE DOING WELL, YOU'RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR WAYS TO EVEN GET BETTER AND IMPROVE ON SERVICES.

AND THAT'S ALL ABOUT SOUTHLAKE. AND YOU KNOW, WHAT WE TRY TO DO.

SO IT'S JUST ANOTHER GREAT ADDITION TO OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICES AND THE GREAT WORK.

ONE THING I WAS GOING TO MENTION IS A CONSIDERATION.

I SPOKE TO DIRECTOR MILLER ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT AGO, AND I THINK HE SAID, YOU GUYS MAY EVEN BE TALKING ABOUT IT.

SO. YOU KNOW, YOU DRIVE BY DURING THESE BUSY HOURS AND IT'S JUST PACKED.

IT'S WONDERFUL. IT MAKES YOU FEEL SO GOOD THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, WE WERE A SMALL PART OF MAKING THIS HAPPEN. AND YOU SEE PEOPLE ENJOYING IT.

AND LIKE YOU ALLUDED TO THOUGH, YOU DRIVE BY AT 2:00 JUNE, JULY, AUGUST AND YOU GO, IS IT OPEN BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY, YOU KNOW, DURING THOSE HOURS. AND ONE THING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IS MAYBE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY WITH, WITH SO MANY COLLEGE KIDS AND HIGH SCHOOL KIDS THAT ARE FREE ARE FREE DURING THOSE MONTHS WHO APPARENTLY TEMPERATURE DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL TO THEM.

[00:35:01]

IT GETS MORE INTEREST IN PICKLEBALL AND THEY LOVE TO PLAY.

I KNOW THOSE COLLEGE KIDS AND HIGH SCHOOL KIDS LOVE TO PLAY. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO ALWAYS RESERVE A COURT.

SO SOMETHING TO CONSIDER? ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. GREAT UPDATE. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN WE HAVE ONE MORE ITEM ON THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT TONIGHT.

IT'S PART OF, YOU KNOW, BEING OPEN AND TRANSPARENT WITH OUR RESIDENTS. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. IT'S MUCH APPRECIATED. COUNCIL ANY COMMENTS? GO AHEAD.

BUT YOU ALL ARE GREAT. AND YOU'RE. IT'S FUN TO WORK WITH YOU.

AND YOU ARE VERY, VERY PATIENT. WELL SAID. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. THAT'S IT FOR THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.

THE ONLY THING I'LL NOTE IS THE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET.

YEAH. BEFORE WE MOVE ON FROM THAT AND THE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT CONTINUING THE THEME OF GOOD NEWS SALES TAXES FOR FISCAL YEAR TO DATE ARE UP

[00:40:06]

SO I KNOW THAT TOWN SQUARE WAS REALLY BUSY DURING THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON, AND THE NUMBERS PROVE IT.

SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THAT EXTRA 7.6% IN SALES TAXES SO FAR THIS YEAR.

WE'LL TAKE IT. WE'LL TAKE IT. SO THAT'S IT FOR THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.

WE'LL GO BACK TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. WE LOOKED OVER THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS DURING OUR WORK SESSION.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR ANY PRESENTATIONS NEEDED? SEEING NONE, WE WILL TAKE A MOTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

ITEMS FOUR A THROUGH FOUR H. WE HAVE A MOTION.

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

AND THE CONSENT AGENDA IS APPROVED SIX ZERO. FORMER MAYOR HUFFMAN.

THERE YOU GO. YOU GET A WIN. YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING.

NEXT UP IS THE PUBLIC FORUM. THE PUBLIC FORUM ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO DISCUSS ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ON OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING OUR PUBLIC FORUM AGAIN, ON AN ITEM THAT IS NOT ON OUR AGENDA? SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC FORUM.

NEXT WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX A, ORDINANCE NUMBER 735B SECOND READING AMENDING THE BICYCLE HELMET ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE E-BIKES.

[6.A. Ordinance No. 735B, 2nd Reading, amending the Bicycle Helmet Ordinance to include e-bikes. PUBLIC HEARING]

I'LL BE PRESENTING ITEM SIX A, WHICH IS THE SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 7305-B, AMENDING THE BICYCLE HELMET ORDINANCE FOR YOU THIS EVENING.

AS YOU'RE AWARE, OUR EXISTING BICYCLE HELMET ORDINANCE REQUIRES THE USE OF A HELMET FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18.

IT ALSO APPLIES ONLY TO TRADITIONAL BICYCLES AT THE MOMENT.

SO, THIS REVISION ADDS E-BIKES AS DEFINED BY STATE LAW, TO THAT ORDINANCE REQUIREMENT.

AND AS A REMINDER, STATE LAW DEFINES E-BIKES AS THOSE WITH OPERABLE PEDALS, A MOTOR OF LESS THAN 750W AND A TOP SPEED OF LESS THAN 28MPH. IF APPROVED, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL COMMUNICATE THIS CHANGE TO THE PUBLIC AND INCLUDES SOME ADDITIONAL PUBLIC EDUCATION THROUGH A VARIETY OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, AS WELL AS SEVERAL INITIATIVES INVOLVING OUR SRO PROGRAM WITH A FOCUS ON EDUCATION FOR NOT JUST OUR CHILDREN, BUT ALSO PARENTS AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. IN CLOSING, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVING ORDINANCE 735 B TO AMEND OUR CURRENT BICYCLE HELMET ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE E-BIKES. AND THIS ACTION REQUEST ALLIANCE WITH OUR CITY STRATEGY MAP UNDER THE FOCUS AREA OF SAFETY AND SECURITY AS SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, CHIEF CASEY. ANY QUESTIONS? I THINK WE'RE GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL NOTE FOR THE RECORD. LET'S SEE.

WE HAVE 11 PUBLIC HEARING. WAIT, THAT'S THE WRONG ONE.

NEVER MIND. SIX A, SORRY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON ITEM SIX A? I THINK I'LL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SIX A, DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK REGARDING 6A? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL. ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT ONE? I THINK WE'RE READY TO GO. MAYOR PRO TEM WILLIAMSON. YES, MAYOR. COUNCIL. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE. ITEM 6A, ORDINANCE NUMBER 735B, SECOND READING, AMENDING THE BICYCLE HELMET ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE E-BIKES.

WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. CAST YOUR VOTES.

AND THAT MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIES SIX-ZERO. THANK YOU, CHIEF CASEY.

NEXT IS ITEM SIX B, ORDINANCE NUMBER 48667B, CASE NUMBER ZA 24-0073.

[6.B. Ordinance No. 480-667B, ZA24-0073, 2nd Reading, Zoning Change and Concept Plan for Chapel Crossing Phase 2, on property described as Lot 1R1 and Lot 1R2, Block A, Ravenaux Village, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 245 and 275 W. S.H. 114. Current Zoning: "S-P-2" Generalized Site Plan District. Requested Zoning: "S-P-2" Generalized Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #5. PUBLIC HEARING]

THANK YOU, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL. THIS IS SECOND READING OF A ZONING REQUEST TO AMEND THE CURRENT SP TWO GENERALIZED SITE PLAN.

DISTRICT ZONING ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 245 AND 275 WEST STATE HIGHWAY 114.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST IS SPECIFICALLY TO AMEND WHAT IS ON LOT ONE, R2, BLOCK A OF THE PROPERTY, TO REVISE THAT FROM A 22,000 SQUARE FOOT, THREE STORY MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING TO A 30,000 SQUARE FOOT AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER, ALONG WITH MEDICAL OFFICE USES.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THAT PROPERTY AND THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN.

THE SITE ON THE RIGHT OF THIS PLAN IS EXISTING BUILT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

THIS SITE IS THE PROPOSED FUTURE AMBULATORY AND MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

[00:45:04]

SO I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY GOOD UNLESS COUNCIL HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR WANTS TO SEE ANY PARTICULAR SLIDES.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT. I ASKED IT LAST TIME, BUT EVIDENTLY I DID NOT ARTICULATE MY CONCERN CORRECTLY.

AND I'M LOOKING AT THE WHAT WAS IN OUR PACKET, LOOKING AT SOME OF THE TREES THAT ARE MATURE ON THE LINE THERE, ON THE PROPERTY LINE WITH THE CHURCH. THAT ONE.

CORRECT? THANK YOU. THOSE THREE IN THE RED CIRCLES? YES, I KNOW THE YELLOW. THAT TREE. IS IT? YEAH.

DEAD. IT IS DEAD AND IS GOING TO BE REMOVED. BUT WAS THE OTHER TWO, OTHER THREE, ARE THEY GOING? YES, THEY APPEAR TO STILL BE LIVING TREES. YES.

IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN PRESERVE THEM? THOSE ARE HUGE.

I MEAN, THEY'RE 28, 228, 128 AND 225 IN DIAMETER.

IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN KEEP THOSE TREES? IS IT JUST THE PARK? DEFER TO THE APPLICANT, WHETHER THERE'S MEANS IN WHICH THEY COULD ADJUST THE PARKING AND DRIVE AREA IN THIS, BUT I WOULD NEED TO DEFER TO THE APPLICANT ON THAT.

YES, THAT'S A QUESTION I HAVE. THEN IF I IF I HAVE IT.

CERTAINLY. ANYTHING ELSE FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH? AND JUST FOR REFERENCE, THIS IS THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN PRESENTED AT THE FIRST READING AS WELL.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE'RE GOOD. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? AND YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. SO YOU KNOW THE RULES ABOUT NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

AND THEN PERHAPS GO STRAIGHT TO THE QUESTION ABOUT THE TREES? YES.

GOOD EVENING, MATT CREGAN. I'M WITH CUMULUS DESIGN.

2080 NORTH HIGHWAY 360, IN GRAND PRAIRIE. WITH REGARDS TO THE TREES, THE ISSUE OF THAT AREA IS DEGRADING.

TO MAKE THE CONSISTENT SLOPE OR THE CONSISTENT PATH FOR THE PAVING AND PAVING AND PARKING, THOSE TREES. THE ROOTS WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DESTROYED DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.

SO THAT'S THE ISSUE THERE. I MEAN, THERE'S THE POTENTIAL, THE ONE AT THE TOP, WE CAN LOOK AT IT, ADDING A SWING INTO THE LOCATION OF THE PARKING TO TRY TO SAVE THAT ONE BECAUSE IT'S FURTHER AWAY FROM THE PROPOSED BUILDING. SO WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AS AN OPTION THAT WE COULD BRING BACK DURING THE SITE PLAN PROCESS.

WELL, IT'S NOT SAVING ANY, BUT I. YEAH. THANK YOU.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN A SWING, SWING IN? WHAT WOULD THAT LIKE INSTEAD OF THE PARKING ROW BEING STRAIGHT, ADDING A SLIGHT JOG INTO IT SO THAT THE PARKING MOVED FURTHER TO THE RIGHT AROUND THE BASE OF THAT TREE AND PROVIDING A ROOT ZONE OF SOIL NEXT TO THAT TO THAT EXISTING TREE.

SO INSTEAD OF PARKING SPACES, IT WOULD BE ELEVATED TO PROTECT THE ROOTS.

YEAH. I THINK YOU GUYS ARE OKAY ON PARKING, RIGHT? YOU DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH LOSING A COUPLE OF PARKING SPOTS.

WE COULD LOSE A COUPLE YET TO MAKE THAT WORK AS IT'S PARKED RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU LOST ALL THAT SPACE WHERE ALL THOSE TREES ARE, WOULD YOU STILL.

HOW WOULD YOUR PARKING BE THEN? WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AND ASK FOR, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE CALCULATION WOULD BE, BUT WE'D HAVE TO COME BACK AND ASK FOR A REDUCED PARKING COUNT.

BECAUSE THE CURRENT PLAN MATCHES WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY THE PARKING RATIO THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

WAS THAT FOR A BIGGER BUILDING, THOUGH, THE WASN'T THE BUILDING LARGER THEN DENNIS OR SMALLER? IT'S SMALLER NOW. IT WAS ACTUALLY SMALLER THAN THE CURRENTLY REVISED OR THE CURRENT SP2 CONCEPT PLAN PROPOSED A 22,000 SQUARE FOOT, THREE STORY BUILDING, AND THERE'S STILL PARKING AT THE SAME RATIO AS THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT SPECIFIED, SO THEY'RE PICKING UP PARKING FOR THAT ADDITIONAL ROUGHLY 8000FT² THAT THEY'RE ACCOUNTING FOR. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?

[00:50:03]

I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 6B. DOES ANYONE LIKE TO, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING ITEM SIX B? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SIX B COUNCIL ANY DISCUSSION ON SIX B INCLUDING THE QUESTION OR ISSUES WITH THE TREES? I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY SAVE THAT FIRST TREE AT THE TOP.

I THINK THE PARKING IS PROBABLY OKAY, EVEN IF THE SECOND SMALLER TREE WOULD PROBABLY SAVE THAT ONE AS WELL.

DO THE SAME THING THERE. THE ONE, THE BIGGER ONE THAT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

I'M NOT SURE THAT CAN BE SAVED, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT THE 1 OR 2 OF THE TREES BEING SAVED ALONG THE ALONG THAT LEFT SIDE? WHAT KIND OF TREES ARE THEY? OH, IT'S THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST LIKELY GOING TO DIE DURING THE CONSTRUCTION. IT'S JUST GOING TO TAKE OUT THOSE ROOTS ANYWAY I WOULD THINK. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL TREE. I KNOW, BUT I MEAN, ARE THEY LIVE OAKS? ARE THEY LIVE OAKS? WHAT ARE THOSE. OH WELL IF THEY'RE POST OAKS.

YEAH. YEAH I MEAN I APPRECIATE TREES LIKE YOU FRANCES, BUT I MEAN, I LIKE THE IDEA OF TRYING TO SAVE THE ONE ON THE TOP.

BUT IF THOSE ARE ALL POST OAKS, I MEAN, I HAD A FOREST OF POST OAKS IN MY BACKYARD THAT AFTER WE BUILT OUR HOUSE, IT'S CRAZY. YEAH. I MEAN, I THINK LET'S TRY TO SAVE THE ONE ON THE TOP. HE SAID HE COULD. OKAY.

YEAH. DIRECTOR KILLOUGH, IS THAT ENOUGH, IF WE PUT THAT IN THE MOTION, IS THAT ENOUGH GUIDANCE AS FAR AS WHICH TREE WE'RE REFERRING TO? YES, SIR. OKAY. AND THEY'LL LOSE A FEW PARKING SPACES TO DO THAT.

OKAY. YES. GOT THAT. MAYOR PRO TEM. I DO. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON SIX B? ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE'RE READY FOR A MOTION.

YES, MAYOR. COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE. ITEM SIX B, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-667BZA24-0073.

SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR CHAPEL CROSSING PHASE TWO ON PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOT 1R1 AND LOT 1R2 2 BLOCK A REVENUE VILLAGE IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS AND LOCATED 245 AND 275 WEST STATE HIGHWAY 114.

ALSO NOTING THAT THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TONIGHT TO REVIEW PRESERVING THE TREE THAT WAS CLEARLY DISCUSSED THIS EVENING VIA CONSTRUCTION ADJUSTMENT.

AND THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO STAFF APPROVAL. AND I'LL NOTE FOR THE RECORD, I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS EARLIER, THAT WE HAD 11 PUBLIC HEARING NOTIFICATIONS THAT WENT OUT AND NOTICES AND NO RESPONSES.

WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

CAST YOUR VOTES. AND THAT MOTION TO APPROVE 6B CARRIES SIX-ZERO.

CONGRATULATIONS. NEXT UP IS ITEM SEVEN A, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-A27, CASE NUMBER ZA 24-0050.

[7.A.Ordinance No. 480-827, ZA24-0050, 1st Reading, Zoning Change and Concept Plan for 1965 and 1975 N. White Chapel Blvd., on property described as Lots 1 and 2, Thrasher Addition, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. Current Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District. Requested Zoning: "SF-20A" Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood #3.]

DIRECTOR KILLOUGH. THANK YOU AGAIN MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR ZONING CHANGE AND CONCEPT PLAN PROPOSING FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND CHANGE OF ZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL TO SF 28. SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1965 1975 NORTH WHITECHAPEL BOULEVARD. THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SITE.

THIS IS JUST OFF THE NORTHEAST INTERSECTION OF EAST KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD AND NORTH WHITECHAPEL.

APPLE. IT IS CURRENTLY PLOTTED AS TWO INDIVIDUAL LOTS TODAY UNDER THE THRASHER EDITION. THE LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THE PROPERTY IS MIXED USE.

AND THE CURRENT ZONING ON THE PROPERTY IS AGRICULTURAL.

REQUESTED ZONING, SF20A. THIS IS THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN.

THERE IS A VARIANCE TO THE LOT CONFIGURATION WHERE IT ABUTS A PLATTED SF1A, ZONED PROPERTY.

THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE REQUIRES THAT A HAS A BUFFER LOT REQUIREMENT THAT REQUIRES THAT WE'RE LOTS BEING

[00:55:06]

THE PROPOSAL HERE IS THEY'VE GOT ROUGHLY JUST UNDER 25,000 SQUARE FOOT ON LOT ONE AND JUST UNDER 27,000 SQUARE FOOT ON LOT TWO. ADDITIONALLY, THEY ARE REQUESTING A TREE PRESERVATION VARIANCE.

THERE ARE SOME EXISTING TREES CENTERED IN THE PROPERTY THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PRESERVE, AND SO THAT BASED ON THE PERCENTAGE OF EXISTING TREE COVER ON THE PROPERTY, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PRESERVE 60% OF THAT, AND THEY ARE ONLY ABLE TO PRESERVE APPROXIMATELY 13% OF THAT WHICH THEY'RE SHOWING IN GREEN ON THE TREE CONSERVATION PLAN.

THIS IS A SITE PHOTO LOOKING NORTH EAST ACROSS NORTH WHITECHAPEL, AND A VIEW LOOKING EAST FROM THE FRONTAGE. AND A VIEW LOOKING NORTHEAST.

THIS IS FROM THE INTERSECTION OF KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD.

THIS ITEM WAS HEARD. PUBLIC HEARING HELD AT THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION'S FEBRUARY 4TH MEETING.

AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL FOR TWO. AND TO DATE, WE HAVE TWO RESPONSES.

ONE UNDECIDED RESIDENT IN BRENTWOOD EDITION AND THE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNER FILED, WRITTEN AND SIGNED OPPOSITION. AT THEIR APPEARANCE AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, WHICH IS STILL IN PLACE TODAY. THE STAFF REPORT THAT WAS SENT OUT ESTIMATED THIS TO BE AT OR ABOVE THE 20%. WE RECALCULATED THAT THIS AFTERNOON.

AND OPPOSITION IS AT APPROXIMATELY 18.5%, WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AT 2005 NORTH WHITECHAPEL BEING IN OPPOSITION. THE UNDECIDED RESPONSE DOES NOT ADD TO THAT IN THE AND THEY HAVE CURRENTLY STATED THEIR POSITION ON IT. WITH THAT, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR KILLOUGH. ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, DENNIS, I HAVE A FEW.

WE HAD THE BRENTWOOD FOLKS HAD SUBMITTED SOME COMMENTS AND I THINK THEY'VE GOT SOME GOOD QUESTIONS.

SO IF YOU COULD JUST. I'LL GO THROUGH THEM IF YOU CAN JUST SPEAK TO THEM. I KNOW YOU ALREADY. YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN IT.

CERTAINLY. THE FIRST ONE, THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT DRAINAGE, BUT THIS DRAINAGE SEEMED TO BE SOMETHING THAT WAS CAUSED DRAINAGE ISSUES LIKE TEN YEARS OR 20 YEARS AGO. SO IS THERE ANY ISSUE OR CONCERN WITH DRAINAGE? I WOULD NOT ANTICIPATE THAT. AND AS THIS PLAN GOES THROUGH, IF APPROVED, GOES THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN REVIEW, THEY WILL HAVE TO SHOW AND DEMONSTRATE MEANS BY WHICH THEY MAINTAIN THE EXISTING CONDITION.

RUNOFF DO NOT INCREASE THAT OR CREATE A ADVERSE CONDITION EITHER UPSTREAM OR DOWNSTREAM.

CURRENTLY. SO ON THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND THERE'S A LOT OF LOT OF US FOLKS ON THE NORTH SIDE THAT HAVE THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THE WAY IT HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME.

IS THAT GOING TO STAY ABOVE GROUND FOR THIS PROJECT WHERE THERE IS CURRENTLY EXISTING OVERHEAD LINES OR TRANSMISSION LINES? WE CANNOT REQUIRE THAT THOSE BE PLACED UNDERGROUND.

HOWEVER, NEW SERVICE AND DISTRIBUTION TO THE SUBDIVISION BY OUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE IS REQUIRED TO BE UNDERGROUND.

SO IT WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO ADD ANY ABOVE OVERHEAD DISTRIBUTION OR SERVICE LINES TO THE NEW RESIDENTS BEING CREATED, SO THE ELECTRIC SERVICE TO THE NEW FOUR LOTS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE UNDERGROUND.

OKAY. I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE STOPLIGHT QUESTION, BUT THERE'S NO PLANS TO PUT A STOPLIGHT ANYWHERE ELSE ON WHITECHAPEL CURRENTLY, RIGHT? NOT CURRENTLY. AND IT, YOU KNOW, REALISTICALLY, THE MOST LIKELY PLACE AT SOME POINT IN TIME MIGHT BE KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO MEET THE REQUIRED WARRANTS TO DO SO.

AND THEN, I DON'T KNOW, I CAN YOU SPEAK TO THEIR, THEY HAD A PREFERENCE RELATIVE TO A SIDEWALK THERE.

CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT BECAUSE THERE'S CURRENTLY NONE.

[01:00:02]

AND INTERNALLY THEY WOULD THEY WILL BE REQUIRED AND THEY SHOW THAT ON THEIR CONCEPT PLAN TO PROVIDE THE FIVE FOOT SIDEWALKS.

THANK YOU. BUT IS THAT A VARIANCE FROM THE EIGHT THE EIGHT FOOT? THERE WAS REFERENCE TO THAT. THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EIGHT FOOT, BUT THEY THEY'RE REQUESTING A FIVE FOOT.

I AM UNAWARE THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM THE EIGHT FOOT.

HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING? HANG ON. I'LL FIND IT FOR YOU.

YES, MA'AM. OH.

ON THE SECOND PAGE AT THE BOTTOM, IT SAYS THE MASTER PATHWAYS MASTER PLAN AND SIDEWALK PLAN.

THERE, THE VERBIAGE IS THE APPLICANT IS SHOWING A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG NORTH WHITE CHAPEL.

HANG ON, I'M MISSING. OH, NO. THE PATHWAYS CALLS FOR AN EIGHT FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG EAST THE EAST SIDE OF NORTH WEST CHAPEL.

OH. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. IT'S LESS THAN.

EXCUSE ME. KATHY ANSWERED MY QUESTION. OKAY. YES.

AND I REALIZE SOMETIMES THAT'S CONFUSING ON OUR PATHWAY PLAN, THE WAY IT WAS STRUCTURED THERE, EITHER. IT DOESN'T RESTRICT THEM TO THE MINIMUM SIDEWALK.

IT JUST SAYS WHERE THE PATHWAYS ARE THERE EITHER GREATER EIGHT FEET OR GREATER OR LESS THAN EIGHT FEET OR LESS.

SO AND SO THANK YOU FOR ASKING THOUGH WE WOULD CERTAINLY WANT TO BE CORRECT HERE.

SO APPRECIATE THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH? I THINK WE'RE GOOD. THANK YOU SIR. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? COME ON DOWN. AND IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND THEN THE MICROPHONE IS YOURS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER. MY NAME IS ASHRAF ALI KHAN.

LIVING AT SOUTHLAKE FROM LAST TEN YEARS. 203 WEST SPRING LANE, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR A SLIDESHOW OR ANYTHING TO SHOW US? I THINK WE WENT THROUGH WITH THE ZONING DEPARTMENT AND WHAT TRYING TO GET, YOU KNOW THIS PROPERTY LIFE AND I WENT THROUGH WITH MY ARCHITECT, HUGH, AND SEE WHERE WE CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT CONCEPT.

TWO BEFORE TWO, WE TALK ABOUT THE ZONING, SAY, HEY, IT'S A MIXED USE, WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT AND EVERYTHING.

SO WE CAME UP WITH THIS PLAN AND TRY TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE THAT PROPERTY LIVE UP AGAIN.

SO IT'S RIGHT NOW ONE TENANT IS THE OTHER HOUSE IS EMPTY.

SO WE'RE WAITING FOR THE CITY COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? I THINK WE'RE GOOD.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR. ITEM SEVEN A IS A FIRST READING AND DOES NOT REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARING.

BUT I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON SEVEN A.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK REGARDING SEVEN A? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON SEVEN A DIRECTOR KILLOUGH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION. I KNOW THIS ITEM WAS DENIED BY P&Z.

CAN YOU GIVE US A BIT OF CONTEXT ON THAT, THAT THAT CONVERSATION.

THE SENTIMENT OF THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMISSION WAS THAT THEY ADDRESS OR DEAL WITH THAT BUFFER LOT REQUIREMENT AND THE 30,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM WHICH WOULD ESSENTIALLY END UP WITH A POTENTIALLY A MAXIMUM THREE LOT CONFIGURATION JUST GIVEN THE AREA THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH. THE DISSENTING COMMISSIONERS FELT LIKE GIVEN THE GEOMETRY OF THE PROPERTY, THAT THIS SUBDIVISION CONFIGURATION MADE THE MOST GEOMETRIC SENSE AND THAT EACH OF THE LOTS ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR TO ONE ANOTHER, YOU WOULDN'T END UP HAVING ONE LOT MUCH LARGER THAN THE OTHER.

LOTS WITHIN THE WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION. SO, THERE'S LOTS ONE AND TWO OR THE, THE TWO THAT ARE CAUSING THE ISSUE ABUTTING THE STREET. AND THERE'S JUST NOT QUITE ENOUGH LAND AREA TO GET TWO LOTS THAT MEET THAT 30,000 SQUARE

[01:05:10]

THOSE ARE THOSE ARE ONE ACRE PLUS LOTS. THAT'S IT.

COULD YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? THE SF ONE A IT'S SF ONE A ABOVE THOSE LOTS.

CORRECT. THAT IS A SINGLE LOT THAT DIRECTLY ABUTS THE BOUNDARY OF THIS PROPERTY THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 1.7 ACRES IN SIZE AND IS ZONED SF ONE, A SINGLE FAMILY.

YEAH. YES. ALONG THOSE LINES, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN THIS PROPERTY BEFORE.

I THINK IT'S COME THROUGH A WHILE BACK FOR POSSIBLE REZONING.

I THINK P&Z, YOU KNOW, HIGHLIGHTED THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS.

IT'S A WEIRD PIECE OF PROPERTY, WEIRD LOCATION WITH, YOU KNOW, CAROLINE ON ONE SIDE AND THE BIGGER LOTS TO THE NORTH.

SO, IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE. IT'S JUST A TOUGH PIECE OF PROPERTY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING TO WORK THERE.

AND I'M INCLINED TO AGREE WITH WHAT P&Z DID AS FAR AS DENYING IT, AND JUST HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.

BUT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT'S A TOUGH PIECE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING TO WORK THERE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT. MAYOR PRO TEM WILLIAMSON, I THINK WE'RE READY FOR A MOTION.

OKAY. YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE DENY ITEM 7A, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-827ZA24-0050.

FIRST READING ZONING CHANGE IN CONCEPT PLAN FOR 1965 AND 1975 NORTH WHITECHAPEL BOULEVARD ON PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOTS ONE AND TWO, THRASHER ADDITION IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS. AND THAT'S A MOTION TO DENY.

I ALSO FORGOT AGAIN TO NOTE WE HAD 23 NOTICES THAT WENT OUT.

WE HAD ONE COME BACK AS UNDECIDED. CHARLES SIMPSON AT 104 BRENTWOOD CIRCLE WAS UNDECIDED, AND GERARDO SUAREZ, AT 205 NORTH WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD WAS OPPOSED.

AGAIN, WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. CAST YOUR VOTES AND A YES VOTE IS IN SUPPORT OF THE MOTION TO DENY.

AND THAT MOTION TO DENY CARRIES SIX ZERO, AND THAT ITEM IS DENIED.

NEXT IS ITEM SEVEN B, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-828.

[7.B.Ordinance No. 480-828, ZA25-0001, 1st Reading, Zoning Change and Development Plan for 2300 W. Continental Blvd., on property described as Tract 1B01B, Thomas J. Thompson Survey Abstract No. 1502, Tarrant County, Texas. Current Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District. Requested Zoning: "TZD" Transition Zoning District. SPIN Neighborhood #10.]

DIRECTOR KILLOUGH. THANK YOU, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL AND ZONING CHANGE.

CHANGING PROPERTY FROM AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO TZD, TRANSITION DISTRICT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 2300 WEST CONTINENTAL BOULEVARD.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SITE. THIS IS JUST EAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF WEST CONTINENTAL BOULEVARD AND DAVIS BOULEVARD. THE LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THE PROPERTY IS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

THE ZONING ON THE PROPERTY IS AGRICULTURAL. THIS IS THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

AND UNDER THE TZD, TZD SETS UP STANDARDS FOR THE DISTRICT.

THESE ARE THE DEVIATIONS BEING REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT.

THE TZD IS SET UP TO CONTAIN AT LEAST A RETAIL EDGE, NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE AND OR.

NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE IS REQUIRED TO HAVE TWO OF THOSE.

THE APPLICANTS PROPOSING ONLY THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMPONENT OF THAT.

THE SIDEWALKS OR EXCUSE ME PLANTER STRIPS ALONG THE STREET EDGE ARE REQUIRED TO BE A SIX FOOT PLANTER, PLANTER STRIP. THEY'RE REQUESTING FIVE FOOT MAXIMUM WITHIN THE DISTRICT ON NUMBER STORIES IS TWO STORIES FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND THEY'RE PROPOSING TWO AND A HALF, WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR MOST OF THE SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICTS AND THE.

ZONING ORDINANCE STANDARD SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICTS.

THE TRANSITION DISTRICT DOES NOT PERMIT CUL DE SACS UNLESS THERE ARE NATURAL FEATURES OR TOPOGRAPHIES OR CONDITIONS ON THE PROPERTY THAT DO NOT ALLOW AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF CONNECTING.

[01:10:03]

THE APPLICANT'S CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS DO NOT SPECIFY THAT TWO FOOT PAD ELEVATION DIFFERENCE.

ALSO, OPEN SPACE IS REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED AT A MINIMUM OF 15% OF THE AREA, AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING NO DESIGNATED OPEN SPACE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS IS THE TREE CONSERVATION PLAN PROPOSED AND MAJORITY OF THE TREES BEING PROPOSED WOULD BE ON THE UPPER, NORTH AND EAST, NORTHEASTERN AND NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE SITE.

AND THIS IS THE PROPOSED RENDERING OF THE TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES THAT WOULD BE ANTICIPATED.

THESE ARE SOME STREET VIEWS ALONG CONTINENTAL, AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY WRITTEN RESPONSES IN OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT.

ONE INDIVIDUAL LOCATED AT 2024 WOODBURY COURT WAS PRESENT AT THE MEETING AND STATED THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE ITEM. THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED DENIAL FOR TWO, NOTING THAT THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION WAS THAT THEY LOOK AT AN ALTERNATE FOUR LOT PROPOSAL.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A PRESENTATION THEY WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU DENNIS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH? I THINK WE'RE GOOD FOR NOW.

THANK YOU, SIR. I'LL ALSO NOTE WHILE THE APPLICANT IS COMING UP THAT WE SENT OUT 17 OR 18, NO 17 NOTICES, ONE CAME BACK IN FAVOR. SHARON VAN SHEKHAR AT 2024 WOODBURY COURT STATED HE WAS IN FAVOR OF THIS PROPOSAL AND THE REST WERE NO RESPONSES.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS NAME IS CURTIS SHANNON WITH THE SAGE GROUP. 1130 NORTH CARROLL HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN. I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS PROPERTY AND EXPLAIN WHY WE'RE PRESENTING, WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING. THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN SHOWS THIS AS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S SURROUNDED BY OTHER USES ON THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

INDUSTRIAL TO THE NORTH, COMMERCIAL TO THE WEST ALONG DAVIS BOULEVARD AND MIXED USE TO THE SOUTH.

HERE'S THE SITE. 2.57 ACRES. DAVIS, IT FRONTS ON CONTINENTAL. DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO DAVIS. THERE'S THE THE STRIP CENTER BETWEEN IT AND DAVIS.

WHICH IS A RETAIL COMMERCIAL TYPE USE. TO THE NORTH IS A FULL SERVICE CAR WASH AND OFFICE WAREHOUSE COUNTER TO THE NORTHEAST. TO THE WEST, OVER OUR MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

TO THE SOUTH IS THE ROCK YARD THAT IS ON THE LAND USE PLAN FOR MIXED USE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SITE, TO BE SURE. AND I EMPHASIZE ALL THIS TO SHOW I KNOW THE WE'RE ASKING FOR THE TO USE THE TRANSITION ZONING ORDINANCE DISTRICT TO DEVELOP THIS.

AND IT'S BEEN SOMEWHAT CONTROVERSIAL, BUT I THINK THE PURPOSE OF THAT, WHEN IT WAS INVENTED 20 OR SO YEARS AGO, WAS BY THE CITY WAS TO DEAL WITH THESE SMALL REMNANT PIECES OF PROPERTY THAT ARE BETWEEN EITHER COMMERCIAL AREAS OR YOU KNOW, HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT BETWEEN THEM AND THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND, AND IN THAT REGARDS, PIECE OF PROPERTY IS ALMOST THE POSTER CHILD FOR A SITE LIKE THAT.

IT'S SMALL, IT DOESN'T DO WELL WITH, YOU KNOW, LARGE DEVELOPMENT TYPE THINGS.

[01:15:08]

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE. WE WENT TO THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE BACK IN NOVEMBER WITH A SIX LOT PLAN, WITH A LITTLE OPEN SPACE IN THE IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER.

WE FELT THAT THIS AVERAGE LOT SIZE, A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN 15,000FT², WOULD BE A GREAT TRANSITIONAL TYPE, LOT SIZE TO THE 20,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS. TO THE, TO THE EAST.

TWO THINGS THAT THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE TOLD US AT THAT MEETING.

NUMBER ONE WAS THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK THAT THIS OPEN SPACE WAS PROBABLY APPROPRIATE BEHIND A WALL ALONG HERE.

SO GO AHEAD AND PUT THAT IN IN A LOT. AND SECONDLY THE CONSENSUS WAS THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER WITH FIVE LOTS INSTEAD OF SIX.

SO WE TOOK THE ADVICE OF THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE AND BRING BACK TO YOU THE PLAN WITH FIVE LOTS.

THERE IS A NEED FOR SOME DETENTION IN THIS AREA HERE, BUT THESE ARE FIVE LOTS HERE.

THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IS ALMOST 19,000FT². SO WE'RE VERY, VERY CLOSE TO THE 20,000.

SQUARE FOOT OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS TO OUR EAST.

AND BUT I THINK THIS WORKS AND WORKS WELL. AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD USE FOR THIS PROPERTY. HERE'S THE THE SITE DATA SUMMARY OF THAT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ENGINEERING OR ANYTHING ELSE, OUR ENGINEER IS HERE AND CAN SPEAK TO THAT, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

THANK YOU. SIR. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. YOUNG? I'M SORRY.

WHAT'S THE AREA? MAYBE MY EYES ARE GOING BAD.

WHERE IT SAYS TEN INCH, TEN FOOT SIDE SETBACK? THAT'S JUST AN OPEN AREA. WE'RE JUST SHOWING THE SIDE AND REAR SETBACKS ON ALL THE LOTS.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE A SPACE IN BETWEEN THE PROPERTIES.

IS THAT NOT IN EXISTENCE? SO MOVE YOUR CURSOR.

GO. GO! KEEP GOING OVER OR THE OTHER SIDE. THIS HERE? NO OTHER SIDE. SO, IT SAYS TEN FOOT SETBACK. RIGHT BELOW THERE.

BELOW. BELOW. ABOVE. RIGHT THERE. WHAT IS THAT? WHAT'S THAT OPEN AREA? OH, THIS. DOWN HERE? THE, OH, THIS RIGHT HERE? YES. IT'S THE NORMAL SIDE. EVERY LOT HAS A FRONT, REAR AND SIDE SETBACK.

AND WE'RE JUST DESIGNATING WHERE THE SIDES. OKAY.

MY BAD. I'M. I'M VIEWING IT FROM. GOTCHA. OKAY.

I SEE THAT LOT WOULD FACE THE INTERNAL STREET.

SO THIS IS THIS IS THE SIDE OF THE LOT HERE. WHAT'S THE BOTTOM PIECE THAT'S GOT DIAGONAL LINES ACROSS IT IN THE VERY BOTTOM LEFT CORNER? THIS RIGHT HERE. THIS IS A ACCESS EASEMENT THAT WAS GIVEN YEARS AND YEARS AGO.

IT PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE COMMERCIAL CENTER. YOU KNOW, MOLINOS IS THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT IS RIGHT HERE IN THE CORNER.

THAT'S HOW YOU GET OUT OF THAT. I'M SURE IT WAS DONE AT ONE POINT TO INCREASE THE DISTANCE FROM DAVIS.

CONTINENTAL, BY THE WAY, IS, AS YOU WELL KNOW, IS UNDER STARTED CONSTRUCTION TO BE IMPROVED TO MORE LANES AS IT HITS DAVIS FREE RIGHT TURN LANE. AND IT'S JUST BEGUN CONSTRUCTION, BUT THAT'S UNDERWAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. YOUNG? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, SIR. WE MIGHT COME BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU.

THIS IS A FIRST READING, SO IT DOES NOT REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING.

BUT I WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SEVEN.

B DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK REGARDING ITEM SEVEN? B? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON SEVEN B COUNCIL.

ANY DISCUSSION ON P&Z'S VOTE OR RECOMMENDATION OR WHAT WE THINK ABOUT THIS ONE.

I MEAN, I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A CONVERSATION. YOU KNOW, BY MY CALCULATION, THESE ARE AT, I GUESS, AT 18,300FT², UNLESS I'M DOING THE MATH WRONG.

THAT'S A POINT. THAT'S A 0.4 ACRE. IT'S 4/10 OF AN ACRE.

LOTS. IS THAT CORRECT, DENNIS? 18,300. IS THAT ROUGHLY 4/10 OF AN ACRE?

[01:20:05]

YEAH. OKAY. AND THE ADJOINING EVERYTHING AROUND IT IS COMMERCIAL OTHER THAN TO THE EAST, I BELIEVE THAT'S THAT.

AND THAT'S SF. IS THAT WHAT. WHAT SIZE IS THAT? DENNIS. REMIND ME. TO THE EAST. TO THE EAST. ARE THOSE SF 20,000? MAYBE. YEAH. THAT IS A SF 30 ZONED PROPERTY. I BELIEVE IT IS JUST AROUND 7/10 OF AN ACRE IN SIZE. ARE WE TALKING COUNTRY WALK WHEREVER THOSE.

YEAH, THOSE HOUSES JUST THERE. RIGHT DOWN CONTINENTAL NEXT DOOR. YEAH.

YEAH. JUST TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TEXAS TOWN SITE IS, I BELIEVE, COUNTRY WALK.

AND THOSE ARE SF 20 A LOTS. OKAY. AND THOSE LOTS THAT ONE CUL DE SAC THERE THAT'S CLOSEST TO THIS DEVELOPMENT BACKS RIGHT UP TO THE ROCK PLANT.

SO THEY'RE IN VICINITY OF IT AS WELL. SO RIGHT.

THE CONTIGUOUS HOME THAT HAS TO BE WHAT THREE QUARTERS OF AN ACRE.

THE HOME THAT'S CONTIGUOUS IS PROPERTY JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE YELLOW.

YEAH. CORRECT. YEAH. I BELIEVE IT'S JUST AROUND 7/10 OF AN ACRE.

IT'S SF 30 LOT. YES. AND WHAT DID YOU SAY SOUTHLAKE WOODS IS. WHAT'S THEIR ZONING? ARE THEY. WHICH ONE? SOUTHLAKE WOODS. THE ONE THAT THE BIGGEST. THE ONE THAT'S PASSED THIS.

THE TOLL BROTHERS. IT'S WOODBERRY COURT. I THINK IT'S ONE BY ITSELF.

YEAH. YEAH, THERE'S ONE BEHIND. YEAH. THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT HERE. THAT'S NOT WOODBERRY, IT'S WOODBERRY, AND IT'S SF20.

AND THEN SOUTHLAKE WOODS IS FARTHER RIGHT THAN THAT.

IT'S NOT ON THIS PICTURE. I'M JUST TRYING TO. IT'S. IT'S THE BIGGEST ONE OVER THERE. IS IT SR 22? YEAH. THE NEXT CLOSEST SUBDIVISION IS COUNTRY WALK, WHICH IS ABUTS THE WEST OR, EXCUSE ME, THE EAST BOUNDARY OF THE STONE YARD. AND THOSE ARE SF 20 LOTS.

SOUTHLAKE WOODS IS FURTHER A LITTLE FURTHER EAST, CLOSER TO PAYTONVILLE.

AND THAT'S SF 20 AS WELL. YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH? NO QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR. THANK YOU.

ANY DISCUSSION? COUNCIL? I KNOW WE'VE ALREADY HEARD FROM THE APPLICANT. DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE FROM HIM? SO WHO? WHO WAS ON CORRIDOR? WHO WAS ON CORRIDOR AT THAT TIME? I WAS, AND I WANTED FOR COUNCIL MEMBER LEPP WAS ON.

SHE WANTED FIVE. CHAD PATTON WAS ON. HE SUGGESTED FOUR.

KATHY. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU WERE ON THAT ONE.

I'M LOOKING AT THE CORRIDOR NOTES. YEAH, I THINK WE DEFINITELY WERE.

I THINK THE I'M JUST GOING TO GENERALLY SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY, BUT WE DEFINITELY WERE IN FAVOR OF NOT SIX FOR SURE.

RIGHT. AND THEN KIND OF MIXED ON 5 OR 4. YEAH.

I MEAN IT'S A DIFFICULT GO AHEAD. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU KNOW I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

LIKE THE LAST ONE. IT'S A JUST A TOUGH PIECE OF PROPERTY GIVEN IT'S RIGHT UP AGAINST YOU KNOW COMMERCIAL ON TWO SIDES.

AND I'LL AGAIN I'LL GO BACK THOUGH THAT THE RESIDENTIAL THAT'S AROUND IT IS 20,000FT².

SO IT KIND OF MAKES SENSE THAT IT NEEDS TO BE 20,000FT² LOTS, WHICH PROBABLY BRINGS IT DOWN TO FOUR.

AND THERE'S SO MANY DEVIATIONS FROM TZD. THIS IS A WEIRD ONE WHERE IT'S USING TZD, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY TEASED IN THE SENSE OF HAVING ANY COMMERCIAL IN IT.

I GET THAT THERE'S COMMERCIAL ALL AROUND IT, BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE WEIRD TZDS THAT JUST HAS RESIDENTIAL IN IT.

BUT I THINK THE LOT SIZES SEEM TO HAVE BEEN THE ISSUE AT CORRIDOR AND FOR P AND Z, SO I THINK THEY NEED TO MATCH UP WITH WOODBURY AND COUNTRY WALK. YEAH. LIKE 20,000 TOO. I KNOW CURTIS, YOU KNOW YOU SAID WE'RE ALMOST YOU KNOW, IT JUST FEELS LIKE WE'RE SO OFTEN IT'S WE'RE ALMOST YOU KNOW, I JUST WISH THERE WERE TIMES WHERE IT WAS LIKE, WE'RE THERE, WE'RE AT IT.

WE'RE AT THE 20. SO. AND MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER.

THE ONLY REASON I'M ASKING THE QUESTIONS IS IT'S NOT LOST ON ME.

I WHEN I SEE THESE, THESE APPLICATIONS, WHAT'S HAPPENING DOWN IN AUSTIN.

AND WE KNOW THE TYPES OF BILLS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED FOR INCREDIBLY DENSE REQUIREMENTS.

THAT WILL BE STATE LAW IF THOSE WERE TO PASS, AND CERTAINLY WE HOPE THOSE DON'T.

[01:25:02]

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, TWO, TWO TIMES THE LOTS COMING IN HERE, TEN LOTS ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, THAT TYPE OF THING. SO BUT I'M IN ALIGNMENT. I MEAN, I'D LIKE TO SEE 20,000, BUT I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CONSIDER THOSE THINGS.

YEAH. THAT'S FAIR. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION COUNCIL? NO, I WOULD TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT. I THINK THAT AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING ABOUT TOLL BROTHERS BECAUSE THAT'S A HUGE, HUGE DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE. AND IT'S SF 28. EVERYTHING AROUND THERE. AND THIS TO ME IS DIFFERENT THAN LIKE EVEN THE ONE WE HAD UP ON 1709.

CONTINENTAL IS NOT 1709. AND IT'S NOT IT'S JUST THIS IS A LITTLE QUIETER SPOT TO ME.

AND IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THE SF 20 WOULD BE THE MORE APPROPRIATE PIECE FOR THAT.

MAYOR, IS THIS SOMETHING WE SHOULD SEE IF THE APPLICANT IS INTERESTED IN TABLING, TABLING AND LOOKING AT A FOUR LOT PIECE? OR IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE, WE CAN COME ON DOWN OUR BUSINESS.

SO I THINK YOU'VE HEARD PROBABLY THERE'S A CONSENSUS THAT THIS WOULD NOT GET APPROVED AS PRESENTED.

DID YOU WANT TO TABLE IT AND COME BACK WITH SOMETHING ELSE, OR DO YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR CHANCES WITH A VOTE? OR HOW DO YOU WANT TO GO? WELL, IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THE FIVE LOT PLAN IS NOT GOING TO PASS.

SO WHAT I WOULD PREFER IS FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE A MOTION ASKING US TO BRING A FOUR LOT PLAN TO SECOND READING SO WE CAN GET SOMETHING, SOMETHING APPROVED. WE CAN DO THAT AND GET THAT TO STAFF POSTHASTE.

I THINK WE COULD DO THAT. WE'RE ON FIRST READING, SO WE'RE NOT WE HAD A SITUATION BEFORE WHERE WE HAD A SECOND READING, AND IT MAY HAVE BEEN, YOU SUGGESTED, CAN WE BRING BACK A SOMETHING ELSE OR WE WEREN'T COMFORTABLE APPROVING SOMETHING WE HADN'T SEEN ON SECOND READING.

BUT FOR FIRST READING, I THINK IT'S DIFFERENT. I WOULD ADD THAT WE WANT TO SEE 20,000 MINIMUM SQUARE FOOT LOTS, AND WE ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION. THEN ON SECOND READING, IF WE'RE NOT SEEING WHAT WE LIKE, YOU CAN TABLE AT THAT POINT WITH SUGGESTIONS TO COME BACK. SO THIS ALLOWS THE APPLICANT BECAUSE IF I'M, I MEAN I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR COUNCIL, BUT I THINK THERE'S AGREEMENT PERHAPS NOT EVERYBODY, BUT I DO THINK THERE'S AGREEMENT THAT RESIDENTIAL IS THE RIGHT THING HERE.

RIGHT. DO WE HAVE A, I MEAN IS THAT I SEE A LOT OF HEAD NODS.

OKAY. SO I'D RATHER GIVE IT, YOU KNOW, KEEP IT ALIVE AND GIVE THE APPLICANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING SOMETHING THAT WE LIKE.

AND THAT MATCHES WHAT HE'S HEARING HERE TONIGHT, JUST PROCEDURALLY FOR ME.

DOES IT LIKE IF IT'S DENIED, DENIED IT STILL COMES FOR SECOND READING.

TYPICALLY IT WOULD GO TO CONSENT DENIAL. BUT IF THEY IF HE IF WE DENY THIS AND HE COMES BACK WITH A FOUR LOT THAT WE LIKE, THEN IT CAN BE APPROVED AT SECOND READING. REGARDLESS WHAT HAPPENS AT I THINK WE CAN DO THAT. I'LL GO TO THE CITY ATTORNEY, BUT I THINK THAT'S RIGHT. WE COULD DO IT THAT WAY.

YES. SO YOU ARE CORRECT. NORMALLY EITHER THE APPLICANT WILL WITHDRAW OR IT WOULD JUST GO ON CONSENT IF WITH A DENIAL.

BUT IF YOU CHOSE TO DO THAT, THEN IT WOULD COME BACK AT SECOND READING AND IT COULD BE APPROVED ON SECOND READING IF YOU LIKED WHAT YOU SAW ON SECOND READING.

LET'S JUST DO IT THAT WAY. LET'S JUST DENY IT, AND YOU CAN COME BACK ON SECOND READING AND BRING WHATEVER YOU WANT. I SEE THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE, CURTIS. YEAH. EVEN IF IT'S EVEN, IT'S DENIED.

YOU CAN BRING IT FORWARD. WHY CAN'T WE APPROVE A MOTION BASED ON THE APPLICANTS WILLINGNESS TO BRING BACK A FOUR LOT PLAN THAT MEETS THE STANDARDS THAT YOU DID? SEEMS LIKE A DENIAL. IT'S OVER. NO, IT COMES BACK FOR A SECOND READING IS WHAT I JUST HEARD FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY.

THAT'S WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION. BECAUSE I THINK THAT THAT'S THE DEAL. TYPICALLY, IF WE DENY, WE AREN'T GIVING YOU AN OPTION TO COME BACK WITH ANYTHING.

BUT SO IT GOES ON CONSENT TYPICALLY FOR DENIAL ON THE SECOND READING.

BUT IF WE DENY TODAY AND YOU COME BACK WITH FOUR LOTS THAT ARE SF 28, WE CAN ABSOLUTELY KEEP IT OFF CONSENT AND APPROVE IT AND IT.

WE LIKE TO DO THINGS OUT OF THE BOX. YOU'RE THE EXPERTS. THAT SEEMS BACKWARDS TO ME, BUT WHAT DO I KNOW? WHAT WE'RE DENYING. THE ONE WE DON'T WANT, AND WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE THE ONE WE DO WANT. THERE YOU GO. THAT, TO ME, SEEMS LOGICAL. SORRY. LET'S DO IT THAT WAY.

CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? I WAS TALKING TO THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DENY WHAT'S PRESENTED.

AND WE'LL SEE ON SECOND READING WHETHER WE SEE A FOUR LOT, 20,000 SQUARE FOOT.

SO YOU COULD DENY IT AND EXPRESSLY STATE THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD BE WILLING TO CONSIDER A FOUR LOT CONFIGURATION AS PART OF YOUR DENIAL.

OKAY. SO THAT IF IT DID COME BACK WITH A FOUR LOT CONFIGURATION AND YOU LIKED WHAT YOU SAW, THEN THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPROVE IT AT THAT POINT.

BUT TO PREVENT WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME OR RECENTLY, I THINK WE NEED TO ESTABLISH AND I THINK THE MAYOR SAID AS MUCH A MINIMUM OF 20,000 SQUARE

[01:30:05]

WE'VE ALREADY ASKED FOR. WE HAVE. WE WANT SF 20 ON THIS.

YES. WE'RE LOUD AND CLEAR. RIGHT? LOUD AND CLEAR.

ALL RIGHT. YES, SIR. JUST MAKING SURE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR PRO TEM WILLIAMSON.

ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A NEW ONE. MAYOR COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE DENY ITEM SEVEN B, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-828ZA25-0001.

FIRST READING, ZONING CHANGE IN DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 2300 WEST CONTINENTAL BOULEVARD ON PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS TRACT 1B01B THOMAS J.

THOMPSON SURVEY, ABSTRACT NUMBER 1502, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS.

BUT NOTING THAT WITH THIS DENIAL, COUNCIL HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE APPLICANT BRINGING TO SECOND READING A PLAN THAT WOULD BE A SF 24 LOT. OPTION FOR CONSIDERATION.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT. AND YOU'RE CASTING YOUR VOTES ON A MOTION TO MOTION TO DENY. SO YES IS TO DENY.

AND THE MOTION TO DENY CARRIES SIX-ZERO. BUT WE WILL SEE YOU AT SECOND READING WITH PERHAPS A DIFFERENT PLAN.

NEXT UP IS ITEM SEVEN C, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-829.

[7.C.Ordinance No. 480-829, ZA25-0002, 1st Reading, Zoning Change and Development Plan for the Schelling Property, on property described as Tract 3D01, Rees D. Price Survey Abstract No. 1207 and Lot 3, Joel W. Chivers Addition, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 2665 and 2735 N. White Chapel Blvd. Current Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District. Requested Zoning: "R-PUD" Residential Planned Unit Development. SPIN Neighborhood #1.]

MAYOR. CITY COUNCIL. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A ZONING CHANGE AND CONCEPT PLAN.

CHANGING ZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 10.85 ACRES FROM AGRICULTURAL TO RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

AS YOU MENTIONED, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 26, 65 AND 2735 NORTH WHITECHAPEL BOULEVARD.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY. WALNUT GROVE ELEMENTARY IS JUST TO THE LOWER LEFT OF THE FRONTAGE OF THE TRACT. THE LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THIS PROPERTY IS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

THE PROPOSED ZONING IS RESIDENTIAL. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN. THE NET DENSITY, AS REQUIRED BY DEFINITION UNDER THE LAND USE PLAN FOR THIS IS BELOW THE MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM ONE ACRE NET THAT IS REQUIRED FOR DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. THEIR NET DENSITY IS AT APPROXIMATELY 0.995 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

UNDER THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING, IT ALLOWS REGULATIONS TO BE CREATED SPECIFIC TO THE PROPERTY PROPOSED FOR ZONING UNDER THIS DESIGNATION, THEY ARE PROPOSING A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF 25,000 SQUARE FOOT.

MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE OF 45% ACCESSORY BUILDINGS WILL BE IN KEEPING WITH WHAT'S IN THE MEDIUM. THE SMALLER LOT CLASSIFICATIONS OF MAXIMUM 600FT².

AND THEN THE MINIMUM HOUSE SIZE ON THIS WOULD BE 3000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM.

THIS IS THE TREE CONSERVATION PLAN. THEY'RE SHOWING APPROXIMATELY 22% CANOPY COVER EXISTING. AND THEY ARE PROPOSING TO PROTECT JUST UNDER 72% OF THAT EXISTING TREE COVER.

THESE ARE SOME VIEWS OF THE PROPERTY FROM STREET FRONTAGE ALONG WHITECHAPEL.

AND THIS IS THE NOTIFICATION AREA MAP WHERE NOTICES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED.

WE HAVE A TOTAL OF SEVEN INDIVIDUALS IN FAVOR THAT ARE WITHIN THE 200 FOOT NOTIFICATION AREA, AND THEN ONE IN FAVOR OUTSIDE OF THAT NOTIFICATION AREA, WHICH WOULD BE OUTSIDE OF THE 300 FOOT.

AND THERE IS ONE PROPERTY OWNER NOTED HERE ON TRACK 13, THAT IS AN OPPOSITION WITHIN THE 200 FOOT AREA. AND THEN ONE OPPOSITION RECEIVED OUTSIDE THAT 200 FOOT AREA.

[01:35:02]

SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THEM THAT EVENING.

WITH THE SUGGESTION THAT THE APPLICANT MAINTAIN COMMUNICATION WITH SURROUNDING LANDOWNERS THAT HAD VOICED SOME CONCERN DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND THEN TO LOOK AT PROVIDING AN ALTERNATE PLAN THAT MIGHT REDUCE THE LOT AREA WITHIN LOT EIGHT AND INCREASE THE LOT AREA WITHIN LOTS THREE AND FOUR, AND POSSIBLY CONSIDER DROPPING THE AREA ONE OF THE LOTS AND THAT DESIGNATION LOT 3 OR 4. AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OF STAFF.

AND THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

ONE OF THE CONCERNS A COUPLE OF CONCERNS ARE IN DRAINAGE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO THAT? FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, DENNIS.

THEY ARE SHOWING DETENTION AREA AND WOULD DETAIN ANY INCREASED RUNOFF AS REQUIRED BY THEIR ENGINEERING REVIEW OF THAT. AND IF APPROVED AND MOVES FORWARD THROUGH CONSTRUCTION, THEY WOULD NEED TO ENGINEER SUCH THAT THAT DRAINAGE DOES NOT CREATE ANY ADVERSE IMPACT. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH AT THIS TIME? I THINK WE'RE GOOD. THANK YOU. SIR. BEFORE I CALL UP THE APPLICANT, WE HAVE SOME RESPONSES TO THE NOTICES THAT WENT OUT.

47 PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES WERE SENT OUT TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN IT'S ALL YOURS.

MARTIN SCHELLING, 2665 NORTH WHITECHAPEL BOULEVARD, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS, 76092.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING AND APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF OUR APPLICATION.

AS YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE IN BREVITY, SO I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF TIME.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GO JUST REAL QUICKLY AROUND THE PROPERTY.

[01:40:03]

SWEET STREET IS KIND OF A MIXED BAG THIS THING WAS PLATTED IN, I DON'T KNOW, THE EARLY 70S, BUT YOU HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT LOT SIZES, HOUSING TYPES.

IT'S CHANGED FOR THE BETTER. THE THREE, THESE THREE HOMES WERE MOBILE HOMES AT ONE TIME.

I SUPPORTED THOSE THREE LOTS, GETTING A VARIANCE FROM BZA TO GET THE SETBACKS CHANGED SO THEY COULD BUILD HOUSES ON THERE. THE HOUSE RIGHT HERE IS ACTUALLY A DUPLEX.

THIS IS A FRAME HOUSE, AND THIS IS ALSO A MOBILE HOME THAT'S STILL HERE.

IT'S A FRAME HOUSE. THERE'S A NICE THERE'S A HUGE HOUSE GOING HERE AND HUGE HOUSE HERE.

SO, LIKE I SAID, IT'S CHANGING. GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

THIS PARTICULAR GENTLEMAN IS MR. BEN MEYER. I'VE TALKED TO HIM.

HIS LOT IS 1.2 ACRES. THIS LOT IS 3.2 ACRES. THE RIGHT OF WAY HAS ALREADY BEEN DEDICATED DURING THE PLATTING ON SWEET STREET ON THAT PROPERTY.

THAT THAT DARKER GREEN. THAT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE.

THAT'S OPEN SPACE. PUBLIC OPEN SPACE THAT WAS DEDICATED BY THE OAK POINT HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

THE NORTHERN HALF OF THAT IS WITHIN A DRAINAGE EASEMENT.

SO THESE FIVE LOTS THAT BACK UP TO MY PROPERTY.

THEY'RE THE SOUTHERNMOST LOT IS A 26,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT.

THESE LOTS ARE ALL 25,000 SQUARE FOOT. THESE TWO LOTS.

A GENTLEMAN BOUGHT THIS LOT LAST JUNE. HE'S OUT OF DALLAS.

HE ACTUALLY THINKS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA OF DALLAS.

HE'S MOVING OUT HERE. ACTUALLY. JUST STARTED CONSTRUCTION ON THAT LOT MONDAY.

THIS IS THE HADLEY'S. IT'S 1.8 ACRES. THEY'VE BEEN MY NEIGHBOR FOR 19 YEARS.

AND THEN WALNUT GROVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AND THEN, NOPE, WRONG WAY, SORRY.

AND THEN THAT ORANGE IS PHASE ONE OF KIRKWOOD.

THERE ARE THREE PHASES TO KIRKWOOD. SO LET ME JUST TALK ABOUT HOW A LITTLE BIT HOW WE'VE GOTTEN TO THIS POINT.

WE WENT TO SPIN. WE WENT TO THE CORRIDOR MEETING.

THE PLAN WE TOOK TO THE CORRIDOR MEETING WAS SIMILAR TO THIS.

WE HAD A COMMENT BY ONE MEMBER THAT TALKED ABOUT LOTS THREE, FOUR AND FIVE.

WELL, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PLAN WE TOOK TO THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE, AND THE COMMENT WAS, THESE LOTS LOOK A LITTLE SMALL.

I'LL GO THROUGH THE NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISIONS HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

BUT I THINK WHAT HAPPENED IS BECAUSE, AS WE ALL KNOW AT THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE, WE DON'T DIG DOWN, RIGHT? WE SEE A SHORT PRESENTATION. YOU GIVE US HIGHLIGHTS, HIGH LEVEL COMMENTS AND GO, YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT THIS, THINK ABOUT THIS. DON'T BRING US THIS BACK.

AND SO THERE'S REALLY NOT A BIG DEEP DIVE INTO THE INTO THE ALL THE PLANS.

VERY HELPFUL BENEFICIAL. BUT SO WHAT I THINK HAPPENED IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS YOU GO, YEAH, THESE ARE SMALLER, BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A 56,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT HERE.

THESE ARE. ACRE. ACRE. THIS ONE'S 40 AND THIS ONE'S 37.

BUT WHEN YOU GO LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WHAT'S BEEN APPROVED AROUND HERE, THOSE LOTS ARE ACTUALLY LARGER THAN MOST OF THE LOTS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO ME.

SO I'LL COME BACK TO THAT. AND SO, THIS SO WE LISTENED TO THE COMMENT.

AND SO WHAT WE DID IS WE, WENT BACK, CURTIS REDREW THIS.

AND SO THIS LOT WAS 22,000FT². THIS ONE WAS LESS THAN 2524 SHANE.

SO, WE MADE THESE A MINIMUM OF 25,000FT². THIS ONE WAS STAYED BASICALLY THE SAME.

BUT BASICALLY WE REALLOCATED SOME SQUARE FOOT TO GET THOSE LOTS TO BE 25,000FT².

AND THEN IT GOT BROUGHT UP AGAIN AT P&Z, AND THEY ASKED US TO LOOK AT IT.

AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE IN A SECOND. BUT THERE'S ALSO A QUESTION ABOUT THE 54,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT.

WELL, THERE'S IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT LOT. I MEAN, THAT'S THE HOUSE THAT MY WIFE AND I LIVE IN.

AND IT'S NOT LIKE A MONOPOLY TOKEN PIECE THAT I CAN JUST MOVE THAT HOUSE AROUND.

I MEAN, THERE'S NO WAY TO MOVE IT, RIGHT? I MEAN, THAT HOUSE IS WHERE IT IS.

AND WE DESIGNED THE LOT ENVELOPE AROUND THAT HOUSE.

AND THIS IS A CONCRETE PAD RIGHT HERE. AND SO WE PUT THE PROPERTY LINE RIGHT ON THE END OF THAT PAD.

SO THAT CAN'T MOVE. WE DID. ONCE WE GOT THE TREE SURVEY THIS PROPERTY LINE HERE TO THE WEST, WE DID MOVE IT 15FT FURTHER TO THE WEST. BUT THE REASON WE DID THAT IS OBVIOUSLY THIS IS OUR EXISTING ACCESS TO THE HOUSE.

[01:45:09]

WE MOVED IT 15FT BECAUSE THE CANOPY OF THE TREES.

AND TO SAVE THOSE TREES. SO IF WE REDUCE THIS LOT BY ANY SQUARE FOOTAGE, WE'RE GOING TO END UP TAKING OUT TREES.

AND I'M NOT INCLINED TO TAKE OUT TREES ON THAT PROPERTY.

SO LET ME LET ME DIGRESS JUST A LITTLE BIT AND LET'S TALK ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE OAK TREE ON HERE. BUT YOU KNOW, OAK TREE WRAPS AROUND HERE, GOES DOWN GOES DOWN TO NORTH PARK, GOES OUT TO CARROLL BOULEVARD. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE LOT SIZES IN IN OAK TREE.

IT WAS DONE UNDER R-POD SAME AS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

BUT THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE IN OAK POINT IS 20,931FT².

SO THE MAJORITY OF THOSE LOTS ARE THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IN OAK POINT IS 25,559FT².

THERE'S 26 LOTS IN OAK POINT. 12 OF THE LOTS ARE UNDER 25,000FT².

SO THAT PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION WAS ZONED IN 2002 AND DEVELOPED IN 2004.

AND IF WE GO ACROSS THE ROAD, WHICH IS THIS IS KIRKWOOD, WHICH IS DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM LOT ONE AND LOT TWO.

THAT'S PHASE ONE. ALL OF KIRKWOOD WAS, I THINK YOU ALL REMEMBER, WAS OWNED BY IBM, RIGHT.

BECAUSE THEY HAD ALL THE PROPERTY OVER IN SOLANA.

THEY ALSO OWNED THIS. SO IT WAS ZONED IN 1995.

IT WAS DEVELOPED IN 1998. PHASE ONE. THIS IS PHASE ONE RIGHT HERE.

THE THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE IN THERE WAS 16,778FT².

THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE FOR KIRKWOOD PHASE ONE IS 23,792FT².

SO THERE'S 68 LOTS IN THAT PHASE. THERE ARE 15 LOTS THAT ARE LESS THAN 20,000FT².

AND THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL 18 LOTS THAT ARE LESS THAN 25,000FT².

SO THIS IS WALNUT GROVE. AS YOU GO UP ACROSS UP NORTH WHITECHAPEL, WHEN YOU GET WELL, ACROSS FROM WINGATE IS PHASE TWO OF KIRKWOOD HOLLOW. SO, THE MINIMUM LOT IN THERE IS 23,344FT², AND THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IS 29,901. AND THEN IF YOU GO YOU GO DOWN WHERE THE WATER TOWER IS, WHICH IS PHASE THREE OF KIRKWOOD HOLLOW THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE IN THERE IS 15,660FT².

AND THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IN THAT DEVELOPMENT IS 18,891.

SO WE HAVE A TABLE FOR HERE. BUT I'LL TOUCH ON IT RIGHT NOW.

SO THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING RIGHT HERE IS THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE IS 25,000, 041 GOES UP TO LARGEST IS 54991 OR 191. BUT THE AVERAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE LOTS IN HERE FOR THE TEN LOTS IS 37,740FT². SO I GO BACK TO OAK POINT AVERAGE 25 559 KIRKWOOD HOLLOW PHASE 123 792 PHASE 229901 AND PHASE THREE 26,000 I'M SORRY, 18,891FT². SO WE'RE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER ON THE AVERAGE, AND OUR MINIMUM LOT SIZE IS LARGER THAN THE AVERAGE OF ALL THE OTHER SUBDIVISIONS EXCEPT OAK POINT, WHICH IS 25 559.

SO AND THEN I'D LIKE TO I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS WINGATE JUST A LITTLE BIT.

IT CAME UP WHERE THE BUTCHERS CAME TO THE SPIN MEETING, AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF I LOOKED AT WINGATE.

AND OF COURSE, I'VE BEEN IN WINGATE. I'VE HAD FRIENDS THAT LIVE IN THERE. I KNOW IT'S ONE ACRE LOTS. IT'S A QUARTER MILE UP THE ROAD. AND I THINK THE RATIONALE IS THERE.

WELL, IT'S A QUARTER MILE UP THE ROAD. SO DID YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THOSE ARE ONE ACRE LOTS.

WELL, WHAT I THINK IS MORE IMPORTANT IS WHAT'S ADJACENT TO ME AND WHAT'S ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME.

BUT I COULD GO A QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND I COULD GO TO GO TO METAIRIE.

AND THOSE ARE 12 AND 14,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

SO WHICH SHOULD I MIRROR? I MEAN, SHOULD I MIRROR METAIRIE BECAUSE IT'S A QUARTER MILE AWAY FROM MY PROPERTY OR ONE ACRE LOTS AT WINGATE? WELL, I MEAN, COME ON, WE ALL KNOW THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

SO WE'RE LARGER THAN OUR NEIGHBORS. WE'RE TRYING TO BLEND IN WITH WHAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AROUND HERE.

[01:50:06]

I THOUGHT IT WAS PROGRESS. AND I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE AN RPUD IN OAK POINT THAN I WOULD A ONE ACRE TRIPLE C RANCH. RIGHT. I AND TRIPLE C RANCH GOT ZONED IN 2001.

SO IT WAS GOING ON RIGHT BEFORE THIS PROPERTY WAS BEING ZONED ANYWAY, I DON'T MEAN TO GO ON AND ON, BUT ANYWAY. OKAY. SORRY.

OKAY. SO. SO CHAIRMAN FOREMAN ASKED THAT WE LOOK AT INCREASING THESE 25,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS, WHICH WE DID. I DON'T THINK IT HAS MERIT. IF AND THE WAY WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE THEM IS WE TOOK SOME OF THE CURVE OUT OF THIS STREET. AND SO WHAT WOULD WHAT THEY DID IS THAT LENGTHENED THE NORTH SOUTH LOT LINES SO WE COULD ADD SOME SQUARE FOOTAGE INTO THESE LOTS.

IT WAS A NOMINAL AMOUNT THAT WE COULD PUT IN THOSE LOTS.

AND THE REASON WE ONLY WANT TO WARP THAT STREET OR STRAIGHTEN THAT STREET OUT SO MUCH IS ONE.

THEN IT STARTS AFFECTING THESE LOTS, WHICH BACK UP TO ROB AND JULIE HADLEY, MY NEIGHBORS, FOR 19 YEARS, AND I'M TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY.

THE OTHER THING, WHEN YOU STRAIGHTEN THAT STREET OUT, NOBODY LIKES STRAIGHT STREETS.

WE'VE GOT A NICE CURVILINEAR STREET, AND I STRAIGHTEN IT OUT.

NOW, I GOT A SHOTGUN, AND YOU COME OFF A WHITE SHOP AND LOOK STRAIGHT TO THE END OF THE CUL DE SAC.

AND THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING EITHER. SO WE DID LOOK AT IT.

WE COULD ONLY ADD IN LIKE 1500 SQUARE FEET WITHOUT MANIPULATING OUR OPINION DETRIMENTALLY CHANGING THE LOT SIZE OF NINE AND TEN.

OKAY. AND THEN FROM THE STAFF REPORT, WHICH WAS MENTIONED THAT IT WAS YOU KNOW, KEEP THE COMMUNICATION UP WITH THE NEIGHBORS, WHICH I HAVE. AND JUST SO THE COUNCIL KNOWS, BEFORE THE MARCH 6TH PNC MEETING.

I RENTED A ROOM AT LEGENDS HALL ON FEBRUARY THE 3RD.

HAD THE MANAGEMENT, THE HOA MANAGEMENT COMPANY SENT AN INVITATION TO EVERY PROPERTY OWNER IN OAK POINT. WE HAD EIGHT PEOPLE SHOW UP.

YOU KNOW, FOR THE MOST PART, GOOD DISCUSSION.

I WOULD SAY THAT WE SPENT MORE TIME ON DRAINAGE.

THIS PROPERTY THAT THIS PROPERTY DISCHARGES RIGHT HERE, AND IT HAS SINCE I'VE BEEN THERE IN 1991.

NOTHING'S CHANGED. IT WE GET SOME STORM SEWER THAT COMES UNDERNEATH WHITE CHAPEL.

IT GOES DOWN THROUGH THE PASTURE. YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT ENTERS THE POND.

IT COMES OUT OF THE POND HERE AND IT GOES AND IT LEAVES HERE.

AND DIRECTOR KILLOUGH ADDRESSED IT, BUT I TOLD HIM AT PNC I'M GOING TO HIRE.

I HAVE HIRED ALREADY A CIVIL ENGINEER. HE'S A PE.

WE'RE GOING TO COMPLY 100% WITH THE CITY'S DRAINAGE ORDINANCE.

WE'LL TURN IN PLANS. WE'LL GET COMMENTS BACK.

WE'LL ADDRESS THE COMMENTS. WE WON'T GET CONSTRUCTION PLANS UNTIL THAT'S ALL DONE.

SO THIS IS A ZONING CASE. DETENTION IS EMOTIONAL FOR THE PEOPLE DOWNSTREAM.

NOT NORMALLY EMOTIONAL FOR THE PEOPLE UPSTREAM, BUT.

BUT IT'S SCIENCE FOR THE ENGINEER TO DESIGN THIS AND FOR THE CITY TO REVIEW IT AND STUDY IT.

SO, ANYWAY IF THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT DETENTION, THE ENGINEER'S HERE, BUT WE WILL COMPLY WITH THE CITY'S DRAINAGE ORDINANCE.

OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO WRAP UP HERE. I JUST IF ANYBODY NEEDS ME TO GO BACK AND REVIEW MINIMUM LOT SIZE IN THE SUBDIVISIONS, I'M HAPPY TO DO IT. THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE. THIS APPLICATION EXCEEDS, ALL OF THEM ON THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE AND ON THE MINIMUM SIZE LOT. THE 25,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS ARE LARGER THAN EVERY ONE OF THEM ON THE MINIMUM SIDE IN THOSE THREE SUBDIVISIONS.

REALLY, ALL I ASK IS I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 1991.

I'VE BEEN A GOOD STEWARD OF THE LAND. ALL I ASK IS THAT I GET THE SAME TREATMENT ON MY PROPERTY RIGHTS, THAT THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBDIVIDED AND BUILT AND POPULATED AROUND ME, THAT THEY GOT.

[01:55:01]

JUST ESTIMATING FROM MY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE BUILDERS AND ALL THAT I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE A HOUSE IN HERE.

LESS THAN 3 MILLION. THE AVERAGE SALES PRICE OF A HOUSE.

NOT NEW. JUST EVERY SALES PRICE. SALES PRICE IN SOUTHLAKE LAST YEAR WAS 1.3 MILLION.

THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMEONE WHO'S A EXTRAVAGANT, AND THERE'LL PROBABLY BE A 5 OR $6 MILLION HOUSE IN THERE, BUT THERE WON'T BE ONE IN HERE. LESS THAN 3 MILLION.

SO I MEAN, IT'S AN IMPROVEMENT. ANYWAY, I JUST ASK THAT I GET THE SAME CONSIDERATION.

IT'S IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

WE DID THAT ON PURPOSE. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR VARIANCES.

TRYING TO BRING A STRAIGHT FORWARD ONE ACRE OR LESS, OR ONE UNIT LESS PER NET ACRE.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE BROUGHT FORWARD. SO I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION, AND I STAND READY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR THE CONSULTANTS ARE HERE.

THANK YOU. SIR. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? GO AHEAD. HEY, MARK. SO I HAVE ONE. I THINK YOU MAY HAVE ANSWERED IT ALREADY.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANY THE LOT SIZES OR ANYTHING. I MEAN, I CAN'T IT'S KIND OF A LITTLE BIT FRUSTRATING THAT WE'RE FIGHTING ABOUT HALF ACRES NOW.

THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS ALL THE BUFFER THAT YOU'VE GOT ON THE BACK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IS THERE A REASON ALL THE BUFFERS BACK THERE AND NONE OF IT'S OFF OF WHITE CHAPEL? IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THAT'S. TO ME, THAT SEEMS LIKE A POTENTIAL FOR SOME ESTHETIC, ESTHETICALLY PLEASING STUFF ALONG WHITE CHAPEL, GOING UP THERE TO KIND OF KEEP IT DIFFERENT AND JUST KIND OF TALK ME THROUGH THAT.

WELL, ON THIS PLAN THIS EASEMENT HERE IS THAT ENCORE TRANSMISSION EASEMENT.

SO, I MEAN, WE COULD THEORETICALLY PUT ADDITIONAL OPEN SPACE AND WE COULD PUT IT IN THIS AREA.

BUT AS YOU REMEMBER, WE WENT THROUGH KIRKWOOD EAST.

THEY HAVE A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS OF WHAT WE CAN PUT UNDERNEATH THERE.

NOW THE HOMEOWNER CAN VIRTUALLY GET AWAY WITH WHATEVER THEY WANT, BECAUSE YOU CAN GO UP AND DOWN THIS ROAD AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY PUT IN COLUMNS AND WROUGHT IRON FENCE AND ALL THAT, AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PERMISSION. BUT WE HAVE WELL, AS AN EXAMPLE, THEY DON'T WANT US AS A DEVELOPER TO PUT AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM UNDERNEATH THE TRANSMISSION LINE AND, YOU KNOW, NO FIRE. REMEMBER, WE WENT THROUGH IT, NO FIRE HYDRANTS, NO STREET LIGHTS. THERE'S JUST SO MANY RESTRICTIONS.

SO BUT I THINK YOUR QUESTION IS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S DRESSED UP ENOUGH.

AND IT'S PRETTY IN YOUR SENSE OF ARRIVAL. YEAH.

JUST TO ME, IT SEEMS IT SEEMS ALMOST A SHAME TO HAVE THAT OPEN SPACE THAT WE'RE REALLY ONLY THREE HOMES ARE GOING TO, ARE GOING TO ENJOY THAT SPACE, BECAUSE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A PRETTY AREA, I THINK.

AND WE'RE NOT IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO BUFFER, YOU KNOW, 10,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS, TWO ACRE LOTS.

YOURS ARE BIGGER THAN THE LOTS BEHIND IT. SO YEAH, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY YOU'RE GOING.

SO ONE THOUGHT PROCESS IS THAT THIS THIS AREA THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, I SHOWED EARLIER, THIS IS THAT PUBLIC OPEN SPACE THAT BELONGS TO OAK POINT. SO OF COURSE, RIGHT NOW I GOT AGRICULTURAL FENCING THERE TO KEEP MY COWS IN.

BUT THE INTENTION IS TO TAKE ALL THAT FENCE DOWN AND TIE THIS TOGETHER, WHICH THEN GOES THROUGH AND GETS OUT TO RIDGECREST. I'LL TELL YOU, I'M HAPPY TO HAVE CURTIS LOOK AT IT AND WE'LL I UNDERSTAND YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS AND WE'LL LOOK AT IT. WE DO HAVE SOME LIMITATIONS.

YEAH. AND I FIGURED THAT'S THERE. I JUST THOUGHT I'D ASK THE QUESTION.

YEAH, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF THE LOT SIZES OR ANYTHING. I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT IT. IT MATCHES EVERYTHING.

MATCHES OR EXCEEDS EVERYTHING, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I KIND OF NOTICED THE SAME THING. ALL THAT OPEN SPACE, KIND OF ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE OF THE DRAWING AND KIND OF BEING HIDDEN FROM THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IF THERE'S A WAY TO FOLD SOME OF THAT INTO SOME OF THOSE LOTS, YOU REALLY NEED THE DETENTION AREA TO BE THAT BIG.

I KNOW THERE'S ALSO SOME DROP OFF AND TOPOGRAPHY ISSUES YOU'RE DEALING WITH, BUT JUST A THOUGHT THAT MAYBE SOME OF THAT STUFF THAT'S MARKED IN GREEN NOW COULD BE FOLDED INTO, SAY, LOT SIX AND SEVEN AND GET THOSE LOT SIZES UP.

IT JUST LOOKS WEIRD FOR AN RPD WHERE THE GREEN SPACE, YOU KNOW, ISN'T KIND OF FRONT AND CENTER, LIKE AT THE FRONT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AS SOME SORT OF AMENITY, WHICH IS, I THINK TYPICALLY HOW OUR PUDS LOOK, THERE'S THE GREEN SPACE OR THE OPEN SPACE IS RIGHT BY THE ENTRANCE,

[02:00:02]

BUT THAT'S KIND OF SIMILAR TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER ROBBINS SAID.

YEAH, WE'LL CERTAINLY LOOK AT IT, I TELL YOU.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD OAK POINT CAME IN AND WAS BUILT IN WELL DEVELOPED IN 2004 AND TOOK A WHILE TO YOU KNOW, BUILD THE HOUSES IN THERE, BUT SO, SO HOMER BUSH USED TO PLAY FOR THE YANKEES WAS MY NEIGHBOR BACK THERE.

AND I'D GO WALK THROUGH THE PASTURE AND HE'D BE IN THE BACKYARD, AND I'D TALK TO HIM AND I TALKED TO CHAD CROSS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, AND SO I'VE MADE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE NEIGHBORS, AND WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO IS, WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY IS WHAT YOU'LL HAVE FOREVER.

BECAUSE I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD NOT BACK LOTS ALL THE WAY UP TO THE PROPERTY LINE.

I MEAN, THERE'S A THERE'S A ROW OF EASTERN RED CEDAR IN THERE THAT WERE PLANTED IN 2004, AND THEY'RE MATURE AND THEY OFFER A GREAT SCREEN.

BUT SO I'VE GOT A RELATIONSHIP WITH THOSE PEOPLE, AND I WAS TRYING TO KEEP THE TWO OF US BUFFERED OFF AND PROTECT THEM AND THESE HOMEOWNERS AS WELL. THEY DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S RIGHT IN THEIR BACKYARD AND THEY'VE GOT AN OPEN SPACE.

WE DID. AND IT WAS MIKE SPRINGER'S SUGGESTION IS, WELL, AND WE WERE GOING TO DO IT.

WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHERE WE WERE GOING TO DO IT. BUT THAT'S WHY WE HAD THAT 15 FOOT ACCESS BETWEEN 6 AND 7 IS TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO THAT DETENTION FACILITY.

SO TO INCORPORATE OUR PEOPLE SO THEY COULD GET BACK THERE.

BUT WE WILL LOOK AT IT AND WE'LL SEE IF THERE'S CREATIVE WAYS THAT WE CAN MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE.

I, I ACTUALLY LIKE THE PARK SPACE BEING BACK THERE AS NATURAL.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS THAT LIVE BACK THERE IN THAT OAK POINT. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DEVELOPMENT. AND THAT PARK, I LOVE THE NATURAL TIE IN. I KNOW THE TOPOGRAPHY ON THE BACKSIDE THERE KIND OF SLOPES DOWN. IT SEEMS PRETTY NATURAL.

AND THIS IS SUCH A SHORT STREET. IT KIND OF MAKES SENSE.

I REMEMBER HAVING, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WERE A YOUNGER FAMILY.

WE DIDN'T WANT THE PARK RIGHT NEXT TO OUR HOUSE WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WALK TO BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT THE NOISE.

SO TO ME, IT KIND OF MAKES SENSE FOR IT TO BE THERE.

AND IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A HALF MILE AWAY, IT'S JUST UP THE STREET.

SO I LOVE IT. I THINK IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DEVELOPMENT.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. WE MIGHT HAVE YOU COME BACK UP. I'VE ALSO BEEN HANDED SOME MORE COMMENTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED.

JOE HORN AT 2809 RIDGECREST DRIVE IS OPPOSED TO THIS ITEM.

TIM MULLICAN AT 2225 NORTH WHITE CHAPEL IS IN FAVOR OF THIS ITEM.

AND DARYL WELLEN AT 419 MARSHALL ROAD IS IN FAVOR OF THIS ITEM.

IS THAT IT? ALL RIGHT. THIS IS THE FIRST READING, AND IT DOES NOT REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING.

BUT I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SEVEN C.

DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK REGARDING SEVEN C? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SEVEN C.

COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH OR THE APPLICANT OR ANY DISCUSSION? JUST ONE LAST QUESTION. I AM FROM MISSISSIPPI, SO MY MATH IS SUSPECT.

BUT 25,000FT², THAT'S ABOVE A HALF-ACRE, CORRECT? YES. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ONE? NOBODY.

GO AHEAD. I MEAN, I LIKE IT. I MEAN, I APPRECIATE THE APPLICANTS, YOU KNOW, ALL THE CARE AND CONSIDERATION HE'S TAKEN WITH THIS.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIS HOME SITE BEING BIGGER. IT'S HIS PROPERTY.

I MEAN, I YOU KNOW, NUMBER ONE IS TOUGH. THAT'S JUST A JUST A WEIRD SPOT.

YOU KNOW, I THINK A HOUSE NEEDS TO GO THERE. I DON'T YOU CAN'T WIGGLE THAT TO AN ACRE NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME. I GET WHY, YOU KNOW, NINE AND TEN HAVE TO BE BIGGER BASED ON, YOU KNOW, THE APPLICANT ALREADY HAS HIS PROPERTY THERE. I JUST DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT, W E'VE GOT WALNUT GROVE ACROSS THE STREET.

WE HAVE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ACROSS THE STREET. AND I CAN JUST REALLY ENVISION THIS AS A WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD FOR GROWING FAMILIES.

AND THEIR KIDS GO TO SCHOOL ACROSS THE STREET.

AND, AND I THINK IT'S IF YOU AVERAGE IT OUT, THE LOT SIZES ARE FAIRLY LARGE AND THEY'RE DEFINITELY OBVIOUSLY AS BIG OR BIGGER THAN THOSE IN OAK POINT, WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

IT'S A HODGEPODGE. I LIVE ON THE NORTH SIDE, AND SO IT'S JUST TOUGH.

[02:05:02]

AND I THINK IT JUST SPEAKS TO THE NORTH SIDE BEING, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPED AT A LATER TIME AND A SLOWER PACE THAN, THAN THE SOUTH SIDE OF SOUTHLAKE. BUT I JUST ENVISION THIS AND WHAT IT CAN BE IN TERMS OF A NEIGHBORHOOD AND FILLING OUR SCHOOLS WITH MORE CHILDREN AND ALL THE TREES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE THAT ARE GOING TO BE PRESERVED.

I, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. THIS IS A TOUGH ONE FOR ME. I'VE KNOWN MR. SCHELLING A LONG TIME.

HE'S A FRIEND. WE GO TO CHURCH TOGETHER. HE HAS BEEN A GOOD STEWARD OF THIS LAND.

IT'S TOUGH BECAUSE IT IS KIND OF A HODGEPODGE AROUND IT.

TO THE TO THE EAST AND ACROSS WHITECHAPEL. BUT TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH, THERE ARE THE BIGGER LOTS.

SO WE'RE AGAIN FACED WITH THAT CONUNDRUM OF, YOU KNOW, PUTTING SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE OF STUFF THAT'S ALREADY THERE.

YOU KNOW, IF THIS WAS ALL ONE ACRE LOTS, I DON'T THINK ANYONE HERE WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE MAINTAINING LOT EIGHT THE WAY IT IS.

SO THAT TAKES AWAY SOME OF THE WIGGLE ROOM. EVEN LOT ONE IS JUST KIND OF A WEIRD LOT.

SO I PROBABLY WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE HEARTBURN WITH THAT ONE.

BUT LOOKING AT THE REST, IF WE REALLY NEED THE OPEN SPACE AND OPEN SPACE ONE RIGHT ON WHITECHAPEL, THERE'S 7000FT² THERE TO PLAY WITH. I JUST, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN WE HAVE ADJACENCY ISSUES WITH BIGGER PIECES OF PROPERTY, AND THEN WE PUT IN EVEN HALF ACRE LOTS OR 25,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

THAT'S A POLICY PROBLEM. BUT THAT'S JUST MY $0.02 ON IT.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL DO. WELL. IT'S RIGHT ACROSS FROM A SCHOOL.

TO CATHY'S POINT IT'S ABOUT, YOU KNOW, FAMILIES MOVING IN AND PERHAPS GETTING INTO THAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

BUT I HAVE THOSE HEARTBURN ISSUES WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT VICE CHAIRMAN FOREMAN BROUGHT UP AT P&Z WITH LOTS THREE AND FOUR AND HOW WE CAN FIX THAT? I'M NOT SURE, BUT THOSE ARE MY $0.02.

ANYONE ELSE? SURE. YEAH, I LIKE THIS. I'M IN SUPPORT OF IT.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF. I THINK YOU USE THE WORD HODGEPODGE.

YOU'RE RIGHT. THE JUST TO THE NORTH NORTHWEST OF IT.

YOU HAVE VERY SMALL LITTLE LOTS UP THERE. YOU HAVE SOME, YOU KNOW, LARGER BIGGER AG LOTS THERE, OF COURSE. AND BUT THE MAJORITY IS, IS THE OAK POINT PIECE, WHICH THIS CLEARLY IS LARGER THAN THOSE LOTS.

SO, I THINK MR. SCHELLING HAS SHOWN A LOT OF.

GIVES SOME CHARACTER, YOU KNOW, THE LOT SIZES, HAVING SOME DIFFERENT SIZES I THINK ACTUALLY ADDS SOME CHARACTER TO IT. IT GIVES A LITTLE DIFFERENT LOOK. THE THOUGHTFULNESS OF HAVING THE CURVED CUL DE SAC SO THAT YOU'RE NOT LOOKING STRAIGHT DOWN ONTO A STREET, OR WHEN YOU WHEN YOU COME IN, YOU'RE NOT LOOKING STRAIGHT TO THE END OF THE CUL DE SAC. SO, I THINK HE'S DONE A GOOD JOB WITH THIS.

I WOULD HAVE TO ECHO WHAT THE MAYOR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT? AND I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. IT'S A TOUGH ONE, IT REALLY IS.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF PROPERTY AND. ANY QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH OR THE APPLICANT BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO A MOTION FROM THE MAYOR PRO TEM? ALL RIGHT, RANDY, IT'S ALL YOURS. OKAY. YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SEVEN C, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-829ZA25-0002.

FIRST READING, ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SCHELLING PROPERTY ON PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS TRACT 3D01 PRICE SURVEY ABSTRACT NUMBER 1207 AND LOT THREE JOEL W CHIVERS ADDITION. IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, AND LOCATED AT 2665 AND 2735 NORTH WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD, SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED FEBRUARY 11TH, 2025, AND THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER TWO DATED JANUARY 31ST, 2025, NOTING THAT WE'D BE APPROVING A ZONING CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FROM AG TO RPD RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AS PRESENTED, ALSO NOTING THE APPLICANT'S WILLINGNESS TO CONSIDER OPEN SPACE OPTIONS AT BOTH THE ENTRY AND THE REAR THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS TONIGHT.

AND THAT WOULD BE PREPARED TO SHARE THOSE POTENTIALLY AT SECOND READING.

DIRECTOR KILLOUGH, ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT MOTION? ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT. CAST YOUR VOTES. AND THAT MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 2. WE WILL SEE YOU AT SECOND READING IN TWO WEEKS.

NEXT UP IS ITEM EIGHT A, RESOLUTION NUMBER 25002, APPOINTING MEMBERS AND A CHAIR TO THE ADVISORY COMMISSION ON PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.

AGAIN, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON APPLICATIONS FOR THAT.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO CARRY THAT CARRY THAT TO THE NEXT MEETING. SO OUR LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM NINE A,

[9.A. Approving and adopting the FY 2025 - 2029 Capital Improvements Program.]

[02:10:06]

AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER, ALISON ORTOWSKI.

YES, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, WE COME TO YOU TONIGHT AS PART OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS TO PROPOSE TO YOU THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM TO CONSIDER FOR ADOPTION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025, CAPITAL BUDGET, AS WELL AS THE FUTURE PLANNING OUT YEARS FOR THE SUBSEQUENT FOUR YEARS.

YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCHEDULE. WE COME TO THE COUNCIL EVERY FEBRUARY.

WE HAD OUR WORK SESSION DISCUSSION AT THE LAST MEETING WHERE WE PRESENTED THE PROJECTS THAT WERE PROGRAMED.

AND OF COURSE, WE ALWAYS DEVELOP THE CIP WITH A SET OF GOALS AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

AND ESSENTIALLY THEY START WITH MAKING SURE THAT THE PROJECTS THAT ARE INCLUDED, AS WELL AS THE AS THE FINANCIAL PLAN, WHICH YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR MORE ABOUT TONIGHT FROM OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, SHARON JACKSON, ARE FULLY ALIGNED WITH THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU WILL SEE BEFORE YOU.

AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO ASK SHARON JACKSON TO STEP FORWARD.

SHE IS GOING TO FOCUS ON THE FINANCIAL PICTURE OF THE CIP FOR YOU TONIGHT.

THANK YOU. AS SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE, THE TOTAL PROPOSED CIP IS 43.6 MILLION, WHICH WE DISCUSSED LAST MEETING. THE THREE LARGEST CATEGORIES OF INVESTMENT IS MOBILITY, WATER.

AND THE PARKS AREA REPRESENTS THE THREE LARGEST FUNDING FOR THIS PROPOSED PLAN.

AS SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE, WE'RE TAKING A VARIETY OF FUNDING SOURCES TO FUND THE PROPOSED SIP.

AS SHOWN ON THE SLIDE AS TEN DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES ON THE SLIDE, WITH THE LARGEST BEING THE GENERAL FUND AND THE UTILITY FUND.

AS SHOWN HERE ON THIS SLIDE, WE HAVE MULTIPLE THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUNDING.

THIRD PARTY FUNDING FROM THE TARRANT COUNTY BOND OF 2.2 MILLION, AS WELL AS THE CASH FUNDING.

THE LARGEST FUNDING SOURCE OF THE CIP, WHICH IS CASH FUNDING OF 25.3 MILLION.

AND LASTLY, WE ARE PROPOSING FUTURE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION BONDS THAT WILL DISCUSS IN MORE DETAIL LATER OF 15.6 MILLION BROKEN OUT BETWEEN THE GENERAL FUND, JUST UNDER 9.6 MILLION, AND THEN THE UTILITY FUND OF $6 MILLION OF FUTURE COSTS.

THIS SLIDE REALLY DEPICTS THE DEBT STRATEGY THAT WE IMPLEMENTED EARLY IN THE 2000, AND HAS WORKED VERY WELL FOR THE CITY, AS INDICATED ON THE SLIDE, THAT WE'VE WORKED REALLY HARD AND INTENTIONAL OF REDUCING THE OVERALL CITY DEBT AND REDUCING THE PERCENTAGE OF ASSESSED VALUE, AS SHOWN IN THIS SLIDE. WE'VE REDUCED IT FROM 3% TO JUST 0.21%, AS WELL AS SHORTENING THE TERM OF OUR BONDS.

THAT 100% OF OUR BONDS TODAY WILL BE PAID OFF IN LESS THAN TEN YEARS.

AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WITH THE FIVE YEAR CIP THAT'S PROPOSED FOR YOU THIS EVENING, THE SEALS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING, THE PROPERTY TAX WILL FALL IN LINE WITH THIS DEBT STRATEGY THAT HAS SERVED US WELL OVER THE YEARS, THAT THE DEBT WILL STILL BE REPAID IN LESS THAN TEN YEARS, AND WE WILL STILL MEET WITHIN OUR POLICY THRESHOLD AS IT RELATES TO THE LONG TERM DEBT OF ASSESSED VALUE. NOW TAKE A MOMENT JUST TO LOOK AHEAD TO WHERE, AS PRESENTED, IT'S A FIVE YEAR PLAN.

OF COURSE WE'RE ASKING FUNDING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025.

BUT JUST TO LOOK AT THE NEXT FOUR YEARS ON THIS SLIDE, IT REALLY GIVES YOU A DEPICTION OF THE FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS WITH THE NEXT FOUR YEARS WITH THE LARGEST CATEGORIES AS SHOWN ON THE SLIDE BEING IN WATER INVESTMENT, AS WELL AS PARK IMPROVEMENTS ARE THE LARGEST CATEGORIES FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. AND THEN THE BEYOND YEAR IS JUST A PICTURE, A CAPTURE TO SEE OF FUTURE INVESTMENTS BEYOND THE FIVE YEAR PLAN THAT INCLUDES THE REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE, AS WELL AS IMPLEMENTING OUR APPROVED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE TO THE GOVERNING BODY A FIVE YEAR AND INTO THE FUTURE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS THAT THE CITY HAS.

THE PROPOSED CIP SUPPORTS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OVERALL CITY STRATEGY.

THE PROPOSED PLAN IS ALIGNED WITH THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT GUIDING PRINCIPLES, AS WELL AS IT PROPERLY INVESTS IN THE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS ENHANCING MOBILITY THROUGHOUT THE CITY. NOW TO DISCUSS NEXT STEPS THAT IF THE PLAN IS APPROVED AS PRESENTED THIS EVENING, THAT INCORPORATES THE FUTURE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, WITH THE TWO FUNDING SOURCES OF PROPERTY TAX OF JUST UNDER 9.6 MILLION.

AND AGAIN, UTILITY FUND OF JUST UNDER RIGHT AT 6 MILLION.

[02:15:02]

THAT AUTHORIZES THE NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, WHICH WOULD DIRECT STAFF TO PUT TWO NEWSPAPER PUBLICATIONS SO THAT EVERYONE ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY OF OUR INTENT TO ISSUE THE CERTIFICATES.

AND THEN THE WEEK OF APRIL 7TH, STAFF WILL BE MEETING WITH THE CREDIT RATING AGENCY SEEKING A CREDIT RATING CREDIT RATING OF THE PROPOSED DEBT ISSUANCE.

WITH THE FINAL STEP OF MAY 6TH, WE WOULD GO TO MARKET WITH A COMPETITIVE BID PACKAGE FOR THE CERTIFICATES, AND THEN CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ASKED TO APPROVE ON THE COUNCIL MEETING AND THAT EVENING OF MAY 6TH.

THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION. A VERY HIGH LEVEL.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE? THANK YOU, DIRECTOR JACKSON. ANY QUESTIONS? WE'VE ALREADY SEEN THIS BEFORE.

APPRECIATE THAT. GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE. I THINK WE'RE GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALISON. DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO ADD TO THAT? NO. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT PROJECTS, WE HAVE MEMBERS OF OUR SENIOR TEAM HERE.

BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE SPENT SOME TIME ALREADY GOING THROUGH THEM.

BUT WE'RE ALWAYS AVAILABLE. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE DISCUSSED ALSO WITHIN, YOU KNOW, THE BIG THE BIG NUMBERS, THERE'S ALSO MONEY THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO GET SPENT NEXT YEAR. THERE'S MONIES THAT ARE GOING INTO SAVINGS FOR FUTURE LAND ACQUISITION OR OTHER PROJECTS.

SO, IT IT'S A BIG NUMBER OR THERE'S LOTS OF NUMBERS.

BUT WE COULD SPEND HOURS DEEP DIVING INTO THAT.

BUT DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO ADD. YEAH THAT'S CORRECT. WE DO HAVE A STRATEGY WHERE WE EVALUATE CERTAIN PROJECTS THAT DON'T NEED IMMEDIATE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS, PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT ALREADY IN PROGRESS.

THINGS THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY THAT ARE FUTURE LONG TERM PROJECTS THAT WE CAN START PUTTING CASH IN THE SAVINGS ACCOUNT TOWARDS, AS YOU MENTIONED, SO THAT TOWARDS THAT LAND ITEM. SO IT'S ALL PART OF HOW WE DEVELOP NOT ONLY THE CAPITAL PLAN TO ENSURE THAT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS PROPERLY BUILT AND MAINTAINED, BUT THAT WE ALSO HAVE A RESPONSIBLE FINANCIAL PLAN THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT.

I LIKE IT. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE MOVE ON? ALRIGHT, I GUESS IT'S UP TO MAYOR PRO TEM WILLIAMSON TO TAKE US HOME.

YES, MAYOR COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM NINE A, APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 THROUGH 2029 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM.

WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

AND THAT MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO. AND WE WILL TAKE THAT UP AGAIN ON SECOND READING.

DO WE, NO THAT'S IT. ALL RIGHT WITH THAT? MEETING ADJOURNED.
