Jun 04, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission

AND GOOD EVENING. I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COMING OUT THIS EVENING.

[00:00:05]

IN CITY OF SOUTHLAKE CITY HALL. JUNE 4TH, 2026, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.

MY NAME IS DAN KUBIAK, CHAIRMAN OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT ON OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING, SO WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME HONORING ONE OF OUR OWN HERE IN THE

[Items 3 & 4]

MIKE FORMAN, MY LEFT, YOUR RIGHT. HE IS GOING TO HAVE HIS LAST MEETING THIS EVENING.

AND WE ALL VERY MUCH APPRECIATE HIS YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS OF SERVICE, PLUS OR -15 YEARS IN VARIOUS ROLES, INCLUDING CHAIRING THIS BODY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

I THINK WE ALL HAVE OUR FAVORITE STORIES ABOUT IT.

I KNOW WE ALL STARTED TOGETHER, SEVERAL OF US, MYSELF, YOU, MIKE SPRINGER DOWN HERE SOMEBODY I SEE OUT IN THE GALLERY SEAN MCCASKILL. ROBERT HUDSON, KATE SMITH, AND TODD PARRISH WERE THE SEVEN THAT WERE ON THE COMMISSION BACK THERE 2013.

AND IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN YEARS EVER SINCE. YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT WITH BOTH SMART PEOPLE, THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE, BUT FUN PEOPLE AS WELL. AND YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN REALLY HELPFUL.

I GUESS MY FAVORITE ANECDOTE THAT I WOULD PROVIDE HERE IS COMMISSIONER FORMAN WAS CHAIRING THESE MEETINGS AND I WAS THE VICE CHAIR.

AND HE ELECTED TO STEP AWAY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS TO HIS SON'S HAD FOOTBALL AND HE, YOU KNOW, WANTED TO PRIORITIZE THAT, WHICH ALL MADE SENSE. AND HE GAVE ME SOME GOOD ADVICE ABOUT YOU REALLY GOT TO FIND YOURSELF A REALLY GOOD VICE CHAIR, YOU KNOW, A REALLY GOOD LIKE HE'S GOT TO BE A BALLER.

HE'S GOT HE'S GOT TO REALLY BRING IT. HE'S GOT TO HELP YOU RUN THE MEETINGS.

I'M LIKE, OKAY. AND WE PUT SOMEONE NAMED COMMISSIONER GREER IN THAT ROLE WHO WE WON'T WE WON'T GET INTO THAT THIS EVENING.

BUT HE CERTAINLY HAD HIS INTERESTING ATTRIBUTES.

BUT THEN HE DECIDED TO STEP ASIDE. TWO YEARS LATER AND WE'RE SITTING THERE IN THE SUMMER AND I'M LIKE, GOSH, I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHO TO PUT IN THIS VICE CHAIR ROLE. I DON'T, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S A TOUGH ROLE TO FILL. YOU REALLY GOT TO HAVE THE RIGHT PERSON. AND WE WERE HAVING LUNCH ONE DAY IN DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH.

WE TOLD THE STORY IN WORK SESSION AND IN WALKS MIKE FORMAN IN THE SAME PLACE IN DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH.

AND IT WAS DESTINY THAT HE NEEDED TO COME BACK.

AND HE TOOK THE ROLE AND DID A GREAT JOB. HE'S LED THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS AND CHAIRED THEM WHILE I'VE BEEN OUT, AND VERY APPRECIATIVE TO ALL THE YEARS OF SERVICE, THE TO THE COMMUNITY, THE GREAT RESULTS WE'VE GOTTEN.

THE COMMUNITY STANDS FOR ITSELF IN TERMS OF THE WORK WE'VE DONE.

AND APPRECIATIVE OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE HELPED ME LEARN AND ALL OF US LEARN UP HERE AND, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW YOU'VE CARRIED YOURSELF. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO JUST CHIME IN REAL QUICK AND BEFORE, BEFORE I SEE SOMEONE OUT IN THE GALLERY THAT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO PRESENT.

THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO SAY IS I REALLY APPRECIATE SERVING WITH MIKE, AND HE'S BEEN AN ASSET TO THE GROUP AND I HATE TO SEE HIM GO.

AND I WISH HIM LUCK AND WHATEVER HE PLANS ON DOING WITH HIS FREE TIME NOW.

ON THURSDAY NIGHT? YES. MAYBE EVEN VISITING US.

RIGHT. I'M SURE HE'LL BE TUNING IN. YES, ABSOLUTELY.

ANYONE ELSE WANT TO MAYBE. MAYBE YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE SOMEBODY MAYBE COMES UP HERE AND PRESENTS SOMETHING? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AS THE CHAIRMAN ALLUDED TO, I ATTEMPTED TO RETIRE ONCE BEFORE, AND AS A RESULT OF HIM AND THE MAYOR WHO'S IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT STRONG ARMED ME AT A RESTAURANT IN FORT WORTH DURING COVID.

I REJOINED THE COMMISSION. BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, IT'S BEEN A JOY.

IT'S BEEN FUN. THE FUN IS THE KEY WORD BECAUSE WE HAD A LOT OF LONG NIGHTS AND WORKING WITH EVERYONE ON THE BODY HERE, GOING ALL THE WAY BACK AND THEN THROUGH CURRENT, EVERYBODY'S BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH, SO I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND JUST GRATEFUL TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LIVE IN AND CONTINUE TO LIVE IN SOUTHLAKE FOR THAT MATTER.

I'M NOT LEAVING SOUTHLAKE, BUT GREAT CITY TO LIVE IN.

RAISE YOUR KIDS IN AND VOLUNTEER IN. SO VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.

AND WE'VE HAD GREAT STAFF THE ENTIRE TIME. THAT'S A LONG TIME TO HAVE STAFF MEMBERS AROUND.

THEY'VE CONSISTENTLY BEEN GOOD. SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF WHO'VE BEEN SUPPORTIVE AS WELL.

HOPEFULLY KEN BAKER IS WATCHING AT HOME. HOPEFULLY KEN BAKER'S TUNED IN TONIGHT.

IF I CAN JUST SAY A FEW COMMENTS ON BEHALF OF STAFF.

I MEAN, WE GREATLY APPRECIATE ALL OF ALL OF YOU AND YOUR SERVICE.

I MEAN, IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE THAT YOU PLAY FOR THE CITY.

AND VICE CHAIRMAN FORMAN, I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION AND YOUR DECORUM AND HOW GREAT YOU'VE BEEN TO WORK WITH.

AND WE JUST, I CAN'T REALLY SAY HOW MUCH IT'S MEANT TO US.

LIKE, YOU ARE JUST A FANTASTIC VICE CHAIRMAN AND WE'RE SAD TO SEE YOU GO, BUT WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

AND I KNOW DENNIS KILLOUGH IS SAD THAT HE WASN'T ABLE TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

BUT ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US, REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR SERVICE.

THANK YOU. I FEEL LIKE I GUESS AT THIS POINT I NEED TO YIELD SOME TIME TO ANYONE IN THE GALLERY WHO MIGHT WANT TO COME FORTH AND COMMENT WITH ALTHOUGH WE MIGHT

[00:05:07]

I'M NOT USED TO BEING ON THE SIDE OF THE. YEAH, I LIKE THIS.

THE COMMISSION ALUM, I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED MY TIME.

AND IT'S, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH GREAT PEOPLE, FELLOW RESIDENTS OF SOUTHLAKE AND DOING GREAT WORK.

AND MIKE, I THINK WE STARTED ON ZBA TOGETHER AND THEN WE MOVED ON TO P&Z TOGETHER.

AND SO MANY YEARS AGO, I PROBABLY GOING TO GET THE DATES WRONG.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO AGE BOTH OF US BY SAYING THOSE DATES.

BUT I LOOKED AT YOU AS A MENTOR. YOU'VE BEEN ON ZBA BEFORE I GOT THERE AND YOU WERE ON P&Z BEFORE I GOT THERE.

AND I ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO YOU AND JUST HOW YOU HANDLED YOUR BUSINESS.

YOU KNOW, REGARDLESS OF HOW WE VOTED ON A PARTICULAR ITEM YOU WERE VERY COMMON SENSE BY THE BOOK.

WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CITY. AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

AND I JUST LOOKED AT YOU AS A ROLE MODEL, AND I APPRECIATED GETTING TO SERVE WITH YOU AND YOU KNOW, BACK, BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS, WE HAD SOME LATE NIGHT MEETINGS.

I THINK YOU MENTIONED LATE NIGHTS. WE HAD MEETINGS THAT WENT TILL TWO IN THE MORNING. AND I'M NOT SURE IF WE DID OUR BEST WORK AT TWO IN THE MORNING ON DECIDING CASES AND APPLICATIONS, BUT I KNOW EVERYONE TRIED THEIR BEST.

AND ON THOSE RARE OCCASIONS WHEN WE WERE OUT OF THERE BEFORE, SAY, MIDNIGHT, THEN, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE MADE IT OVER TO THE GINGER MAN BAR AND WE HAD A DEBRIEF AFTERWARDS.

AND YOU KNOW, IT WAS A GREAT GROUP SOME GREAT NAMES THAT CHAIRMAN KUBIAK JUST MENTIONED, WHO ARE ALL, YOU KNOW, GREAT SERVANTS FOR THE CITY. SO ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE ENTIRE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, YOUR MANY YEARS OF TRULY EXEMPLARY VOLUNTEER SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

I KNOW NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT WE'RE ALL VOLUNTEERS, BUT IT'S WORTH NOTING, AND YOU'VE DONE MORE THAN YOUR FAIR SHARE FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

YOU KNOW, I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONATED IN TIME AND TREASURE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

IT IS APPRECIATED. AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES SOUTHLAKE SPECIAL IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND INCLUDING MIKE FORMAN, WHO HAVE DONATED SO MUCH TIME AND VOLUNTEERING TO OUR COMMUNITY. IT MAKES SOUTHLAKE SPECIAL.

SO ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU A KEY TO THE CITY.

NOT MANY PEOPLE GET THIS, BUT YOU HAVE EARNED IT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THAT TO YOU ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND ALL THE CITY STAFF HERE, AND JUST CONGRATULATE YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR 15 PLUS YEARS OF EXEMPLARY SERVICE.

THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU [APPLAUSE].

WE COULD ALL IF YOU WANT TO COME DOWN AND TAKE A PICTURE.

MIGHT AS WELL GET THE WHOLE GROUP. THE WHOLE GROUP? SURE.

WHY NOT? [INAUDIBLE] YEAH, I REMEMBER THAT WAS YESTERDAY.

BALANCE THIS OUT. EXCUSE. ME. OKAY. LET ME GET THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SIGN IN THE BACKGROUND. OOPS. OKAY.

LET ME GET THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER.[INAUDIBLE] I'M NOT SURE IT ACTUALLY WORKS ON THE DOOR. THAT'S PRETTY GOOD TO TRY. I MIGHT NOT WANT IT TO, BUT I YOU CAN GO IN AND DO YOUR WORK.

I APPRECIATE IT. LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A VERY LONG AGENDA.

I'M GOING TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. WELL THANKS AGAIN.

IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO CELEBRATE THESE MOMENTS BECAUSE WE DO A LOT OF HARD WORK UP HERE.

AND IT'S FUN TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. SO WITH THAT, WE CAN TRY TO MOVE ON WITH A SENSE OF EFFICIENCY THROUGH OUR FAIRLY NARROW

[5. Consider: Minutes for the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting held on May 21, 2026.]

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS BEFORE WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION? MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE ITEM FIVE ON OUR AGENDA.

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

OKAY. LET'S GO AND VOTE, PLEASE. IF PASSES SIX ZERO WITH ONE PERSON NOT VOTING, WHICH IS NOT HERE THAT NIGHT.

DAVID CUNNINGHAM. SORRY. OKAY. COUNTING MY MATH BETTER NOW.

OKAY, NOW WE MOVE ON TO THE ONLY OTHER ITEM ON OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING, ITEM NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS CONSIDERATION OF A SITE PLAN FOR DAKOTA'S.

[6. Consider: ZA26-0031, Site Plan for Dakota’s on property described as Lot 1R1R2, Block 1, Sabre Group Campus Addition and located at 1901 W. Kirkwood Boulevard. Current Zoning: “S-P-2” Generalized Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #1. PUBLIC HEARING]

[00:10:14]

SO I'LL BE PRESENTING ITEM SIX FOR DAKOTA SOUTHLAKE.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING FOR A SITE PLAN FOR DAKOTA'S LOCATED AT 1901 WEST KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED OFF OF WEST KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD AND STATE HIGHWAY 114 FRONTAGE.

FUTURE LAND USE IS MIXED USE. THE CURRENT ZONING IS SB TWO GENERALIZED SITE PLAN DISTRICT.

HERE ARE SOME GENERAL NOTES FOR THE SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS.

THERE ARE SUBMITTING RETAIL BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND RENDERINGS WHICH ARE BEING PROVIDED AT THIS STAGE AS CONCEPTUAL PLANS WERE ONLY APPROVED WITH THE CONCEPT SITE PLAN ORIGINALLY. THEY HAVE SOME MODIFIED EVENT HALL ELEVATIONS WITH MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ROOF LINE HEIGHT AND VERTICAL FACADE, AND SOME PARKING REVISIONS. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REMAINS THE SAME, BUT THEY HAD SOME PARKING RECONFIGURATIONS.

THIS WAS THEIR CURRENTLY APPROVED SITE PLAN FROM A 25-0026.

THESE ARE THE SITE PLAN COMPARISON, NOTING THE THREE PROPOSED CHANGES.

THIS IS THEIR PROPOSED SITE PLAN AND THE SITE DATA SUMMARY NOTING THE CHANGES FROM THE SITE DATA SUMMARY IS JUST MORE PARKING DURING THE PHASE ONE OF THE PROJECT, AND THE TOTAL SPACE IS STILL BEING 205 SPACES.

THIS IS THEIR APPROVED RENDERING OF THE OVERALL SITE AND THEIR PROPOSED RENDERING.

JUST NOTING THAT THEY HAVE MORE RENDERINGS FOR THE EVENT HALL AND THE RETAIL BUILDINGS.

ANOTHER OVERALL SITE. THIS IS A STREET VIEW FROM STATE HIGHWAY 114 FRONTAGE LOOKING NORTHEAST AND ANOTHER VIEW LOOKING EAST.

STREET VIEW FROM WEST KIRKWOOD BOULEVARD LOOKING SOUTH AND A STREET VIEW FROM THE INTERSECTION.

THIS IS THEIR PROPOSED RENDERING OF THE RETAIL BUILDINGS.

AND THIS IS THEIR PRECEDENCE PHOTOS OF THE RETAIL BUILDINGS JUST OF OTHER PROJECTS THAT THEY HAVE DONE.

THESE ARE THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS FOR RETAIL BUILDING NUMBER ONE NOTED ON THE TOP.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS FOR RETAIL BUILDING NUMBER TWO. AND FOR RETAIL BUILDING NUMBER THREE.

AND AGAIN THESE ARE PROPOSED SINCE THEY ORIGINALLY JUST CAME IN WITH CONCEPT PLANS.

THESE ARE PROPOSED RENDERING FOR THE EVENT HALL. AND THESE ARE NOTING SOME OF THE CHANGES FROM THE PROPOSED FROM THE, FROM THE APPROVED TO THE PROPOSED. AND I CAN GO INTO DETAIL OF THE FOR THE HEIGHT AND THE LENGTH IF WE NEED TO.

BUT THESE ARE JUST GENERAL COMPARISONS BETWEEN ELEVATIONS.

THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION. SOUTH ELEVATION AND WEST ELEVATION.

AND AS OF CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSES AND.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SURE. SO I GUESS I'D SAY GENERALLY FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS, WITH KIND OF SOME OF THE TWEAKS THAT YOU POINTED OUT, WE CAN MAYBE TALK TO THE APPLICANT ABOUT JUST SOME OF THE THOUGHTS BEHIND THAT.

I MEAN, IS THAT A FAIR ASSUMPTION? YES, SIR. THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ONE RIGHT NOW? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THINK I SEE THE APPLICANT OUT IN THE GALLERY HERE.

IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND COMING FORWARD STATING NAME AND ADDRESS.

AND I DON'T THINK WE NEED ANY KIND OF A FORMAL PRESENTATION, BUT MAYBE IF THERE'S JUST ANYTHING REAL QUICK YOU WANT TO JUST HIGHLIGHT IN TERMS OF THE, THE REASONS BEHIND SOME OF THE. GOOD EVENING.

TIM MCINNERNY 4317 LARCHMONT STREET, UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS.

I MEAN, I GUESS SOME OF IT WAS PARKING, I GUESS, IS THAT SOME OF THOSE CHANGES ARE JUST TO FEEL COMFORTABLE.

YOU'VE GOT IT PARKED ADEQUATELY AND, AND THE SPOTS IN THE RIGHT SPOT IN THE RIGHT.

YEAH. IT DIDN'T REALLY CHANGE. YOU KNOW, IT'S THE CHALLENGE IN THIS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PLACES IT SOUTHLAKE HAVE IT, BUT THERE'S A 35 FOOT GRADE ELEVATION HERE. AND THAT IS BEEN CHALLENGING UP UNTIL THIS POINT.

I THINK WE'VE GOT IT UNDER CONTROL. WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE'RE ABOUT TO START A 480 FOOT, 12 FOOT RETAINING WALL ON WHERE THIS ORANGE IS ON THIS BACK SIDE HERE.

AND IT'S SUBSTANTIAL. I MEAN, I GOTTA OPEN A CONCRETE PLANT FOR EVERYTHING WE'RE GOING TO PUT ON HERE,

[00:15:05]

I THINK THE EVENT SPACE IS GOING TO BE SPECTACULAR AND IT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER ONE.

WE MADE SOME TWEAKS ON IT TO TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS OBTAINABLE ONCE WE GOT IN THERE AND GRADED THE SITE AND DID THE CUT AND GRADE ON IT.

THE EVENT SPACE IS UNIQUE. IT'S THERE'S A PROJECT GOING ON IN DALLAS RIGHT NOW IN HENDERSON AVENUE THAT HAS SOME SIMILAR LOOKING BUILDINGS TO THAT. AND I'VE SEEN THEM AROUND THE COUNTRY A LOT.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THEM FROM THE HIGHWAY OR THE STREET. IT'S GOING TO BE TUCKED BACK IN THERE. SO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO VENTURE IN TO SEE IT BECAUSE YOU'RE, YOU'RE, WE'RE REALLY UP ON A PLATEAU.

BUT YOU KNOW, I HOPEFULLY YOU LIKE THE FINISHES ON WHAT WE'VE DONE.

AND THAT'S THE IMPORTANT PART. IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S, WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE SAME BRICK PATTERN THROUGHOUT THE EVENT SPACE AND DAKOTAS WITH THE DARKER BRICK, BUT THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO TO A LIGHTER TONE ON THE RETAIL TO MAKE IT POP A LITTLE BIT.

THE SAME WOOD TREATMENTS ARE ALL THE SAME. THEY JUST GET LIGHTER ON THE RETAIL, BUT IT'S THE SAME SAME PATTERN, SAME THEME, SAME LOOK. THERE'S EIGHT RETAIL BUILDINGS NOW.

I THINK WE'RE AFTER SIX TO BEGIN WITH, BUT THE RETAIL BUILDINGS HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF BEING JOINED TOGETHER.

IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE I HEARD COMMENTS TONIGHT ON THE WAY OVER HERE.

I WAS I ALWAYS REFER TO THIS SITE AS LIKE A LITTLE HIGHLAND PARK VILLAGE, AND HIGHLAND PARK VILLAGE IS GOING UNDER A LOT OF CHANGES RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT, BUT OR NO, THAT VILLAGE, BUT LIKE WHERE THE MOVIE THEATER WAS, THERE'S A TWO STORY HERMES BUILDING GOING THERE.

SO THESE BUILDINGS WILL BE ABLE TO MORPH INTO 1 OR 2.

IF A RETAIL COMPONENT WANTS TO COME IN, THEY DON'T JUST HAVE TO STAY AT EIGHT, WE CAN GO DOWN TO FOUR.

BUT YOU KNOW, COMING BACK AT THIS POINT, WE, WE VISITED THIS A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND COMING BACK AT THIS POINT, NOW THAT WE'VE GOTTEN OUR ARMS AROUND AND I'VE KIND OF BEEN OVER THERE AND SATURATED INTO THIS SPACE.

I THINK WE KNOW WHAT CAN AND WOULD WORK FOR THE CITY.

AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT ASSET TO BE OVER THERE IF IF EVERYONE ELSE AGREES.

SO. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I WAS WONDERING, MAYBE I'M MISSING THIS, BUT CAN YOU CLARIFY IF PHASE ONE IS THAT THE RESTAURANT AND THE EVENT SPACE? PHASE ONE IS JUST THE RESTAURANT.

OKAY. AND THE WHOLE PARKING FACILITY AND THE PARKING IS CHANGED TO THE FACT OF LANDSCAPING.

WE'RE GOING TO ADD THERE'S. WELL, YOU CAN, YOU CAN SEE IT IN THERE, ALL THE TREES THAT ARE GOING IN NOW.

AND I WANT TO PUT ALL THAT LANDSCAPING BACK IN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN.

WE TOOK DOWN 400 TREES ON THAT LOT. I MEAN, WE'RE DEALING WE'VE GOT VIRGIN DIRT OVER THERE.

NO ONE'S EVER BUILT ON THAT DIRT. SO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO PUT BACK A LOT OF LANDSCAPING ON THERE.

PHASE ONE, THE EVENT SPACE IS GOING TO BE A RAPID FIRE RIGHT BEHIND IT.

I WANT THE CONCRETE WORK DONE ON THE EVENT SPACE BEFORE THE RESTAURANT EVEN OPENS.

AND THE EVENT SPACE WILL COME RIGHT BEHIND IT.

THE EVENT SPACE IS REALLY ALL CONCRETE. I MEAN, IT'S LITERALLY SHEER CONCRETE WALLS AND GLASS THAT ARE GOING IN THERE BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF DETAIL GOING ON THE INSIDE OF IT BECAUSE IT'S FOR, YOU KNOW, RECEPTIONS AND BANQUETS.

AND THERE'S A, THAT BACKSIDE IS A 500 ZERO SQUARE FOOT EXTERIOR LAWN SPACE THAT WE'RE IT'S FUNNY, I WAS HERE TUESDAY NIGHT AND I LEFT THE MEETING.

I WAS JUST TELLING MAYOR SHAUN THAT WE, I LEFT THE MEETING, I WENT TO CAPITAL GRILLE AND THE DOOR WAS LOCKED.

IT WAS ONLY 7:00. I DIDN'T STAY TILL 12:15 LIKE THE REST OF THEM.

AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? AND POWER WAS OUT IN THAT WHOLE STRIP CENTER.

YOU PROBABLY ARE AWARE OF THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE OVER HERE.

BUT WE'RE PUTTING A MASSIVE GENERATOR IN ON THE EVENT SPACE AND THE RESTAURANT, AND IT'S BEEN ORDERED AND COMING.

AND I CAN TELL YOU WE WILL, IT'LL IT'LL TURN ON WITHIN SECONDS IF THERE'S A POWER OUTAGE, BECAUSE I KNOW WE GET BIG STORMS OVER HERE AND THEY ROLL IN.

SO BUT YEAH, THE RESTAURANT AND THE RETAIL OR THE EVENT SPACE ARE GOING TO HAPPEN PRETTY QUICK.

THE RETAIL ISN'T GOING TO TAKE A LOT TO BUILD.

WE'LL POUR THE CONCRETE PADS BEFORE WE EVEN GET THE RESTAURANT OPEN.

BUT TO GO VERTICAL ON THAT, IT'S A SHELL BECAUSE THE FINISH OUT IS GOING TO BE BY THE TENANT.

OKAY. MAKES SENSE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? THIS ONE. ALL RIGHT. NO I APPRECIATE IT NOW. AND GOOD LUCK WITH CITY COUNCIL AND GOOD LUCK PUSHING IT FORWARD.

[00:20:05]

I DON'T LIVE OVER HERE, BUT I DO NOW. I KIND OF, BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW GOOD YOUR DEPARTMENT IS TO WORK WITH OVER HERE.

THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, THE CITY PLANNING THE CIVIL WORK.

I MEAN, ALL OF THEM FROM FROM DENNIS TO SANDY TO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND GOING INTO PATRICK, WITH CIVIL WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS AND WATER DEPARTMENT AND WHATNOT.

I MEAN, THEY'VE ALL BEEN GREAT. SO I DON'T KNOW.

PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY SOMETIMES SOUTHLAKE IS A HARD PLACE TO WORK FOR, BUT I GUESS IT'S ONLY HARD IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SKIRT THE OBVIOUS.

SO IF YOU JUST FOLLOW THE RULES, THEY WORK AND THEY'RE ALL GOOD PEOPLE.

SO THANK YOU FOR THOSE COMMENTS. WE'LL LET YOU SAY THAT.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S BEST WHEN IT COMES TO THE APPLICANT, BUT NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE KIND WORDS AND FOR THE PRESENTATION.

ITEM NUMBER SIX ON OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING DOES CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THAT PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND COMMENT ON THIS ITEM AND SEEING NO ONE. I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THAT PUBLIC HEARING.

I UNDERSTAND, YEAH, THAT'S A HIGH PERCENTAGE.

WELL, WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE. BUT THIS WAS A LOT QUICKER.

I GUESS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS ON THIS ONE BEFORE WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION? ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER SIX ON OUR AGENDA AS A 26-0031, SUBJECT TO OUR STAFF REPORT DATED MAY 29TH, 2026 AND ALSO SUBJECT TO OUR SITE PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER ONE DATED MAY 29TH, 2026. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD AND VOTE, PLEASE.

AND PASSES SIX ZERO. CONGRATULATIONS. GOOD LUCK AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING, WHICH I'M GOING TO DEFER TO STAFF ON WHEN THAT MIGHT BE.

AUGUST 4TH, BEGINNING OF AUGUST. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.

OKAY. AUGUST 4TH. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WITH THAT, WE WILL GAVEL OUT OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.
