OPENING ITEM 2023 ? 406. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AND SUPPORTING THE MEDWAY REGIONAL AIRPORT RUNWAY REHABILITATION AND MARKING PROJECT AND THE REQUEST FOR TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 90 INTENT GRANT.
THIS IS IN THE MEDWAY BUDGET FOR 23 AND 24 AS BUDGETED. THE TOTAL IS 787,000 $101 AND 20% I'M SORRY 10% OF THAT WOULD BE $90,000. THE WAY THEY DID IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. THEY CONGLOMERATE IT A BUNCH OF AIRPORTS SO WE GET AN ECONOMY OF SCALE. TYPICALLY THEY WERE GOING THROUGH ONE AT A TIME AND CONGLOMERATE ABOUT FIVE AIRPORTS CAN GETTING ENGINEERING WITH THE COST OF THAT DOWN. WE ARE PART OF THAT PROJECT AND THAT WILL PROBABLY HAVE A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT AND THAT REHAB WILL PROBABLY BEGIN AT THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.
NEXT FALL THIS IS FUNDED TOTALLY THROUGH THE MEDWAY REGIONAL AIRPORT.

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ORDINANCE FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A SECONDARY DWELLING RELATED TO THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF LOT TWO HERITAGE RANCH ESTATES IN
THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN. >> THIS REQUEST IS FOR A SECONDARY DWELLING LOCATED AT 931 BELMONT DRIVE. THE PROPERTY IS ON 7.132 ACRES. AS YOU KNOW SECONDARY DWELLINGS ARE ONLY ALLOWED BY RIGHT. IF THERE MEETING THE 11 REQUIREMENTS IN THE SPECIFIC INSTANCE THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR A SEPARATEUTILITY METER .
THEY HAVE CONSULTED WITH A MASTER ELECTRICIAN WHO HAS CONCERNS ABOUT ADDING A SECONDARY DWELLING TO THE METER THAT'S CURRENTLY THERE. IT'S ACTUALLY SOME SAFETY CONCERNS. HERE IS THE SITE PLAN. THIS PROPERTY AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL HERE IS OVER 1000 FEET FROM THE ROAD SO IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY YOU WILL SEE THE SECONDARY DWELLING BUT THEY ARE PLACING IT BEHIND THE PRIMARY DWELLING.
THERE IS ALSO A BARN WHERE THE ACCESSORY DWELLING IS LABELED. THESE ARE THE PROPOSED RENDERINGS FOR THE SECONDARY DWELLING UNIT. THE DWELLING UNIT WILL BE USED FOR THE APPLICANT'S PARENTS TO RESIDE IN. THE SECONDARY DWELLING IS 1691 FT.?. THAT IS ALLOWED BY OUR REQUIREMENTS.

[2023-408]
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ORDINANCE FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A DAYCARE RELATING TO THE USE AND ELEMENT OF LOT ONE BLOCK A ON CREEKSIDE CHURCH OF CHRISTADDITION CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN. >> GOOD EVENING. CREEKSIDE CHURCH, THE CHURCH OF CHRIST CURRENTLY HAS A DAYCARE ON-SITE. THAT OPERATES CURRENTLY BY SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. THEY COME AND ASK TO AMEND A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET A MODULAR BUILDING. TO BRING TO THEIR SITE AND RECONSTRUCT THEM TO REMODEL THEM AT THE DAYCARE TO MOVE IN TO THAT LOCATION.
THAT'S WHERE IT CURRENTLY OPERATES WITHIN THE CHURCH BUILDING.
THE BUILDING IS CURRENTLY EXISTING BUT THEY ARE BEING GIFTED AND THIS IS A RENDER OF WHAT THEY HOPE IT WOULD LOOK LIKE.AS YOU CAN SEE THEIR INTENT IS TO HAVE MORE EARTH TONES. WE TALKED ABOUT THE MECHANICALS THAT YOU MAY SEE HERE ON THE SIDES. IT'S OBSCURED BY LANDSCAPING BUT THEY'VE AGREED TO DO SOME LIGHTER COLOR EARTH AND TONES. THEY'VE ALSO SAID THAT DEPENDING ON HOW THE RENOVATIONS WORK OUT THEY MAY ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO RELOCATE THIS TO THE BACKSIDE.
JUST IN CASE THEY CAN'T THE WORKERS ON THE PAIN KILLER. THIS IS SETBACK IT ISN'T PROMINENTLY UP ON THE ROAD. ALSO IF YOU ARE NORTHBOUND THIS BUILDING WOULD BE OBSCURED BY THE CHURCH BUILDING AND WHEN YOU HEAD SOUTH YOU ALSO HAVE THE TRADE.
NOT TO MENTION YOU ALSO HAVE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.JUST TO GIVE YOU THAT SENSE OF SPACING IT SHOULD BE A CONCERN. IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC WE WERE ANTICIPATING CHILDREN BEING SERVED AND NOW IT'S GOING TO GENERATE SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC IMPACT.
ALSO THEY HAVE 211 PARKING SPACES. THE DAYCARE IS FULLY UTILIZED AND IT WOULD NEED 25. THIS IS ACTUALLY A GOOD USE OF THE PARKING LOT SINCE THE DAYCARE TILT OPERATIONS ISN'T REALLY GOING TO BE TAKING CARE AT THE SAME TIME THE CHURCHES.
[00:15:09]
IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR EITHER OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE.STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION TO THIS REQUEST WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALSO THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS CASE?>> WITH THAT I WILL ENTERTAIN A
MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC. >> MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.> SECOND X PLEASE
VOTE. >> THE ITEM DOES PAST SEVEN AND ZERO.
IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS OR JUST STAND FOR QUESTIONS AND BE READY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF THERE ARE ANY.
>> COUNSELED YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? >> I HAVE QUESTIONS OF STAFF.
>> I LOOKED AT THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE DAYCARE BUT HOW IS THIS ON A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A REZONING BASIS? WE DON'T TYPICALLY ALLOW MODULAR IN ANY ZONING.
AS IT ALLOWED FOR AGRICULTURAL? >> TYPICALLY I JUST HAVE THE SITE BUILT ACCORDING TO OURS MOSTLY HAVE TO REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME MODULAR THAT IS ALREADY THERE.
>> THIS ONE STILL HAS TO MEET BUILDING CODES WHERE THEY ISSUE AN ENGINEER DESIGN.
I GUESS WITH THIS SEP THE UNDERSTANDING IS IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT MEETS THE BUILDING CODE EVEN BY AN ENGINEERING DESIGN THEY COULD.
SOMETIMES WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT RESIDENTIAL AND MODULAR THEY TALK ABOUT MOBILE HOMES
THAT WERE BUILT UNDER HUD CODE. >> I WONDER UNDERSTAND HOW THIS DOESN'T FALL UNDER THAT BECAUSE IT'S A MOVABLE BUILDIN . IT IS JUST FOR USE OR WILL THE
BUILDING COME BACK LATER? >> I KNOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT USE BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT
BUILDING DOESN'T NECESSARILY COME FROM THERE. >> I GUESS IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THE USE OF THE BUILDING ON THE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION NOT NECESSARILY THE USE.
>> I GUESS THE WAY I THINK ABOUT IT IS YOU HAVE A BUILDING THAT IF YOU PROVIDE ENGINEERING DESIGN STANDARD SHOWING FOR ESSENTIALLY IT DEPENDS ON CERTAIN THINGS.
IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURED FACILITIES.
YOU CAN BUILD ON SITE WITH MODULAR CONSTRUCTION SO I GUESS THE WAY I'M THINKING ABOUT IT THIS IS LIKE MODULAR CONSTRUCTION THOUGH I TAKE YOUR POINT.
I PERSONALLY SAW IT AS MODULAR CONSTRUCTION WHICH WOULDN'T BE THE SAME BY BUILDING CODE IF THEY SUBMIT THE APPROPRIATE PLANS AND DOCUMENTATION. QUICKSET DOES NOT MEET ANY OF
HER ELEVATIONS. >> I GUESS THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING.
>> THAT'S THE THING. IT'S AN ACT ZONING THAT YOUR REGULAR ZONING ACT.
YOU TREAT THAT AS RESIDENTIAL. ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE MIGHT AGREE IS BASICALLY A COMMERCIAL TYPE STRUCTURE. IT'S NOT REALLY ADDRESSED IN YOUR RESIDENCE.
BY PUTTING THE STRUCTURE AND RESIDENTIAL THE ARTICULATION STANDARDS COMPLY.
>> ANYTHING YOU APPROVE BY DEFINITION IS FOR. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW.
QUICKSET IS HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.WHAT IS THE SITUATION THERE?
[00:20:09]
I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION WOULD BE HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL BUSINESS DOES THE CHURCH BELIEVE THEY WILL BE CONDUCTING WITH THE SERVICE? WILL IT GROW WITH INCOMING AND OUTGOING TRAFFIC? AND WHAT WOULD BE THE PEAK HOURS OF INFLOW AND OUTFLOW OFTRAFFIC FOR THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION? >> RIGHT NOW IT'S A TRANSFER OF THOSE ACTIVITIES. POTENTIAL OF THAT BUILDING COULD INCREASE SO THAT 40 MORE
CHILDREN CAN BE SERVED. >> MY FOCUS IS ON THE TRAFFIC. COMING FROM CHURCH WHEN YOU ARE LETTING OUT. NOTICE THE WAY THE CARS BECAUSE IT'S DARK.
I KNOW I'VE BEEN CONCERNED WONDERING IF THEY WOULD MAKE THE DECISION TO ADD THIS.
I'M ADDING KIDS INTO THIS MIX WHICH KIDS ARE ALREADY INVOLVED IN POTENTIALLY MORE SO WILL THIS TRAFFIC FLOW INTO THE SAME ENTRANCE TO SERVE INTO THE NEW BUILDING? AND I DON'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE SLOWDOWN LANE IN PLACE NOW. DOES THE STATE HAVE ANY CONCERN SINCE NOW WE MOVE FROM A SUNDAY MORNING TRAFFIC SITUATION PRIMARILY MORE TO A PEAK
TRAFFIC OUR EARLY MORNING WHEN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WORK. >> W.
[00:27:08]
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN PLOTTED BUT ACCORDING TO THE LAST AMENDMENT THIS AREA IS
WITH THE TOWNHOMES. >> THOUGH IT STILL GONNA BE RESIDENTIAL AND NOT COMMERCIAL
ACCESS CORRECT. QUICKSET ENTRANCE IS SHARED. >> UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE CONCERNS OF TRAFFIC AND I KNOW SOME OF YOU WILL BE ON TOP OF THIS.
I KNOW WE'VE HEARD SOME OF THESE THINGS FROM OTHER PROPOSED DAYCARE'S.IGHT NOW THE FAMILY FINDS A THEY ARE EXPECTING AND THEY PUT THEIR NAME ON A WAITING LIST THAT CHILD WILL BE TWO YEARS OLD ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD BEFORE THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET INTO A DAYCAR . ONE OF THE PACKAGES I POINT OUT FROM THE STATS WE LOOKED AT EVEN IF WE HAVE A 40 KIDS POTENTIAL WE CAN CONTRIBUTE I'M EXCITED FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR
THAT SO THANK YOU. >> ANY EFFORTS GOING TOWARDS CHILDCARE IN OUR COMMUNITY IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT WE NEED TO FIX. I'M GLAD YOU ARE DOING AND I WISH YOU WERE DOING MORE. I WILL BE READY TO MAKE A MOTION WHEN WE ARE READY.
>> ARE THERE FURTHER QUESTIONS? >> I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER COMMENT. I FELT LIKE I'M NOT FULLY UNDERSTANDING.
YOU ARE SAYING RIGHT NOW I CAN APPLY FOR AN ICP OPEN A BUSINESS IN A MODULE BUILDING
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HERE FOR FIVE YEARS AND I'VE NEVER SEENTHIS . >> THE CHURCH REQUIRES AN ICP.
IF ANOTHER CHURCH WANTED TO DO IT THEY COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
>> AGAIN AT SUBJECT TO YOUR LEGISLATIVE DISCRETION. >> 100%.
THE MODULAR PIECES WHAT'S THROWING ME OFF. EXEC ASSESS THE PIECES THROWING
ME OFF. >> WHEN YOU LOOK AT SECTION B OF THE ORDINANCE IT'S BASICALLY SAYING IT'S GOT TO APPROVE THE SITE PLAN AND THEN THE ELEVATIONS WHICH ARE CONTAINED IN THE. ON THEIR IT IS SPECIFICALLY STATING THAT.
[00:30:08]
AS PART OF THIS APPROVAL YOU'RE SAYING IT COULD BE A MODULAR BUILDING WITH THESE ELEVATIONS.THAT'S BECAUSE IT STATED ON THE SITE PLAN IS A MODULAR BUILDING.
I THINK THE ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT ELEVATION. WHEN YOU GO TO EXHIBIT B YOU'RE SAYING I'M OKAY WITH THIS ELEVATION. IF YOU ARE NOT OKAY THEN YOU
NEED TO DENY IT. >> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? >> I MOVED TO APPROVE.
>> SECOND. PLEASE VOTE. >> IMPASSES SIX AND ONE.

THIS IS BRINGING BACK THE SALVATION ARMY ZONING DESIGNATION TAKING IT FROM A TEMPORARY AGRICULTURE TO A PERMANENT AGRICULTURE. THIS IS ANNEXED INTO ANNEXATIONS BACK IN 99 AS WELL AS 2004.

WE ARE BRINGING AS A SALVATION ARMY REQUESTED INTO THE AGRICULTURAL ZONING. THIS WILL NOT AFFECT THE USE AS IT IS.
THIS 21 LETTERS WERE ANNOUNCED AT THIS TIME FOR THE ZONING CHANGE.

NUMBER 409 OPENING ITEM 2023 ? 409. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 123 TO ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A HOTEL RELATING TO THE USE IN DEVELOPING A PORTION OF WMHAWKINS SURVEY ABSTRACT 465 CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN TEXAS. >> AGAIN OUR NEXT CASE THIS EVENING IS FOR ITEM 2023 ? 409 WHICH IS IN RELATION TO CASE NUMBER Z 21 ? 2023 ? 068.
THE LOCATION AS YOU SEE TO THE RIGHT OF THE HEARING. THIS ALLOWS FOR A TWO STORY STORAGE FACILITY AND RIP PLACED THE HOTEL. THE FUTURE LAND USE PLUS DESIGNATES THIS AREA AS MODULE. THIS IS EAST MAIN STREET AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN QUESTION IS WAFFLE HOUSE, 711 INTO THE LEFT OF THAT IS THE STRIP RETAIL CENTER. JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME CASE HISTORY BEFORE WE GO FURTHER INTO THE PRESENTATION THIS WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE COUNCIL IN 2019.
AT THE NOVEMBER 12, 2019 CITY COUNCIL MEETING THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED FOUR AND THREE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ZONING CHANGE TO PD 123. THE PRIMARY REASON IS THAT THERE ARE COUNCILMEMBERS IN THE FIELD MOST RECENTLY AT THE SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 ZONING MANY THEY VOTED SEVEN AND ZERO TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL. I WILL TOUCH ON THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER. THE NEXT SLIDE IS AN EXHIBIT FROM THE CURRENT PD THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS. THE SMOKE SLIDE SHOWS AN UPDATE WITH WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.
THIS WOULD BE RIGHT HERE IN THE LOWER RIGHT-HAND CORNER AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTED TO REMOVE THE USE OF ITS STORAGE FACILITY AND ALLOW FOR THE HOTEL.
THIS WILL BE ABOUT 60,000 FT.? BEGAN JUST OVER TWO AND HALF ACRES AND AROUND FOUR STORIES TALL. YOU'VE HEARD ME MENTIONED DUAL BRAND HOTEL.
THIS IS A GROWING CONCEPT AND IS UP-AND-COMING. IT IS SPECIFICALLY IN THIS POINT WITH DUAL BRAND HOTELS IN DALLAS AND ONE IN GRAPEVINE WITH WORK THAT WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE TO COME THROUGH. THIS NEXT SLIDE DEPICTS A DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS CHART.
THIS DEPICTS THE CONCEPT LANDSCAPE PLAN WHICH IS APPROVED IN THE ORIGINAL PUD. IT'S IS PRIMARILY UPDATED TO SHOW THE HOTEL AND EXHIBIT CLOSE TO THE HOTEL FACILITY. THESE NEXT FEW SITES WILL HAVE A CONFIRMATION AND SHOW THE ELEVATION AND SITE PLANS WITH RENDERINGS FOR THE SITE. AS YOU SEE HERE IT'S ABOUT 50 FEET TALL AND FOUR STORIES WITH THE PRIMARY MATERIALS BEING STUCCO AND STONE MATERIALS FOR THE BUILDING. THESE NEXT FEW SLIDES DEPICT THE RENDERINGS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLE POINTS. THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE ENTIRE PD DEVELOPMENT.
[00:50:09]
TO THE SOUTH AND LEFT THIS WAFFLE HOUSE AND THIS OTHER AREA IS A STRIP CENTER.THESE NEXT FEW SLIDES DEPICT THE RENDERINGS. THIS LAST LIGHT IS ALONG MAIN STREET HEADING BACK INTO TOWN. WITHIN OUR STAFF REPORT WE HAD STAFF ANALYSIS WHICH WE TOUCH ON. STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE ZONING CHANGE OR AMENDMENT WILL BE APPROVED FOR ANY REASON WE BELIEVE THAT THE NEW PROPOSED USE SHOULD BE A HIGHER AND BETTER USED ON THE PREVIOUS APPROVED USE SO THIS PARTICULAR CASE IT'S A FOUR-STORY HOTEL ORIGINALLY APPROVED WITH THE STORAGE FACILITY. WE DO WANT TO NOTE THAT WE RECEIVED THREE LETTERS OF SUPPORT ONE WITHIN THE 200 FOOT NOTIFICATION BUFFER AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE EAST WHICH IS ROUGHLY A 23 ACRE PROPERTY.
THAT APPLICANT STATED HE BELIEVED THAT THE USE OF THE HOTEL WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT FOR HIS PROPERTY. OUTSIDE OF THE NOTIFICATION AREA THERE ARE LETTERS OF SUPPORT. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL IS PRESENTED. IT WILL REMOVE THE USE OF THE TOEWS STORAGE FACILITY AND ALLOW THE USE OF THE HOTEL SIT . THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION. WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND HAS A
PRESENTATION AS WELL. >> WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEED ON THIS CASE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLICANT? IS COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU
LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. >> MY NAME IS DALE BLAIR. I LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF MIDLOTHIAN. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS DESCRIBED. I'M A BIG FAN OF THIS BRAND. WHEREVER I GO I DO A LOT OF TRAVELING WITH MY BUSINESS. WHENEVER I GO TO CITY I GET ON THE APP AND THESE ARE THE FIRST GUYS I LOOK FORWARD WITH THE HOTEL. ISG IS VERY STRICT ON THE UPKEEP OF THEIR PROPERTIES. FRANKLY THAT'S WHAT KEEPS ME COMING BACK TO THEM AS A BUSINESS TRAVELER. I AM A BIG FAN OF A BRAND. I'M ALSO A BIG FAN OF THIS CITY SHOPPING AREA. DO A LOT OF SHOPPING AND I THINK THIS WILL ENHANCE THAT PART OF TOWN.
THE LANDOWNER THAT IS PROPOSING THIS HAS ROOTS IN OUR TOWN AND HAS ALREADY BUILT A QUALITY DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE. I THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY.
WE OFTEN HEAR A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AROUND THE CITY ABOUT ITS INCENTIVES.
THIS DEVELOPER IS COMING THERE WILL BE A LOT OF TAXABLE INCOME AND HE'S NOT ASKING FOR ANY
INCENTIVES.>> HOPEFULLY REMEMBER MY FEELINGS ABOUT PROPERTY RIGHTS.
PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS AND THE RIGHT TO VIEW DEVELOPMENT WITH YOUR PROPERTY IS PART OF BEING A TEXAN. IT'S ALSO PART OF BEING AN AMERICAN.
[00:55:03]
THAT'S PARTIALLY WHY THE PEOPLE CAME HERE. I THINK THIS OWNER AND DEVELOPER HAS BEEN THROUGH OUR SYSTEM AND HE HAS UNDER PERCENT APPROVAL FROM THE ZONE GUYS.HE HAS 100% APPROVAL FROM THE CITY STAFF. >> GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS SCOTT HENDRY I MET 75 CLARK VILLA. MUCH LIKE THE THREE LETTERS HE RECEIVED AN AFFIRMATION OF THIS HOTEL I AM ALSO IN FAVOR.I AM THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY WHERE THE HOTELS IS GOING TO BE. WE HAVE THE APPROVAL TO BUILD A STORAGE FACILITY WHICH IS A FOUR AND THREE VOTE WHICH MEANS SOMEONE DIDN'T LIKE IT AND IS A DEVELOPER OF THAT PROPERTY TALKING TO VARIOUS NEIGHBORS WITH FOLKS I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO SEE A STORAGE FACILITY ON THAT POINT RE-RESPECT THAT READ THE IDEA IS IS THERE A HIGHER AND BETTER USED FOR THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN SITTING PATIENT WAITING TO SEE THE MULTITENANT CENTER OF THE BEAR.WE HAVE SOME VACANCY THERE THAT I WILL SHARE WITH YOU AS I TALK TO POTENTIAL TENANTS THAT WANT TO COME IN SPACE THEY ARE REALLY NEUTRAL ABOUT THE IDEA OF IT BEING A STORAGE FACILITY. WHAT THAT IS KIND OF AN ANCHOR. I HAVE A CONTRACTOR THAT WOULD LOVE FOR ME TO BUILD A BUILDING DOWN THERE AND IT HAS TO HAPPEN IS THAT PHASE BEGINS TO ROLL OUT.THE NEIGHBORS TO THE EAST OF US APPARENTLY VOTED THE SEVEN AND IS FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.'M SAYING THE SAME THING. IT'S FOR THE GOOD THINGS IN THE TOWN. I THINK EVERY OWNER OF A RESTAURANT IS THERE AND WILL GET A BENEFIT FROM THE TRAFFIC THAT COMES THROUGH THAT. I'M ASKING TONIGHT FOR YOU TO
CONSIDER THAT AND VOTE TO APPROVE IT. >> PLEASE COME ON UP AND STATE
YOUR NAME. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> I LIVE JUST OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS. MR. MAYOR, COUNSEL AND STAFF THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE FOR 20 YEARS.
I REALLY REQUIRED AND I'M PROUD OF OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS LOT OF THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH. I'VE ALSO TURNED DOWN A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES HERE BECAUSE IT AND FEEL IT WAS GOOD FAIRY CITY SITE AND FEEL THAT IT WAS THERE I AM A VERY GOOD CITIZEN APPEAR AND CARE A LOT ABOUT IT GRADE WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS WITH HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS AND ACUMEN WITH KANSAS CITY AND I SHOWED UP FOR 13 SITES. IT'S OUT UNTIL WILL NOT GROW UP IN THAT AREA. EVERYTHING KEPT COMING BACK TO THIS SITE.
HE SAID THE REASON BEING IS THE EVERYDAY TRAVELER HAS THE AMENITIES BY THEM.
OUR COURTYARD IS VERY VISIBLE AND CONVENIENT FOR THE CONVENTION CENTER.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE PROBLEM IS THERE'S NO RESTAURANTS OR ANYTHING AROUND THERE. WHEN YOU UNLOAD YOUR KIDS FROM THE CAR IT'S NICE TO HAVE A FEW THINGS AROUND. WE ARE HERE TONIGHT FOR A PD CHANGE.
WE INVEST OVER 12 MILLIONS ON THIS. I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANY MONEY.
[01:00:03]
I'M HERE IS A DEVELOPER TO BE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. ONE OF THE THINGS I DO MY COMMUNITY TOURS HERE WITH RESTAURANTS AND OTHER BUSINESSES I DON'T HIGHLIGHT OUR PARKS SYSTEM. WE HAVE A GREAT PARK SYSTEM AND WE INVEST A LOT IN THAT.WE HAVE A LOT OF POTENTIAL IN OUR SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL TOURNAMENTS.
ONE OF THE LIMITING FACTORS IS WE'VE BEEN THERE. IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO LAUNCH IN THE TOWN THAT YOU'RE PLAYING IN. RIGHT NOW WE ARE LEAKING A LOT OF THAT WE DO HOST THESE TOURNAMENTS. WE KNOW WHEN THE FAMILIES COME IN ON THE WEEKEND AND THEY STAY THEY ARE GOING TO BE EATING AT ONE OF OUR RESTAURANTS AND THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT I SEE AS A LOCAL REAL ESTATE BROKER IS BRINGING IN RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS. IN ANY EVENT THE OTHER THING TO AS THE FILM INDUSTRY WHICH IS A BIG DEAL HERE IN THIS COMMUNIT .
WE TALKED TO SOME PEOPLE THERE WHO ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE LODGING OPPORTUNITIES AGAIN I
WANT TO THANK THE STAFF THERE. >> OKAY JUST THE APPLICANT IS LEFT.
I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. >> AND MAKE A MOTION.
>> SECOND. >> PLEASE VOTE. >> THE ITEM PASSES SEVEN AND ZERO. WILL THE APPLICANT PLEASE COME FORWARD FOR THEIR PRESENTATION.
>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M NOT A RESIDENT OF THE TOWN HERE BUT WE ARE A HOTEL DEVELOPER. I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 42 YEARS NOW. WE HAVE A PORTFOLIO OF 13 HOTELS WE ARE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF MORE CITIES. WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE LODGING NEEDS AVAILABLE WITH THE COURTYARD. I HAVE PLENTY OF HOTELS AND MORE IN THE COUNTY.I DO FEEL LIKE THE BRAND THAT WE ARE BRINGING IN WILL REALLY FULFILL WHAT IS NEEDED IN THIS TOWN.
>> I WILL OPEN IT UP TO COUNSEL TO ASK QUESTIONS OF STAFF.
>> I LIKE TO KNOW MR. PATEL I SEE THAT THEY PUT UP SOME IN EDGE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IMAGE OF THE PROPERTY BEING DEVELOPED THAT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THIS?
>> WERE YOU ABLE TO SEE THE COMPANY WEBSITE? >> DO YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT I
HAVE IN THE PORTFOLIO? >> WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE ROOMS LOOK LIKE.

>> IS HUNDRED AND 20 ROOMS. >> WE HAVE A LOT OF PROPERTIES IN OKLAHOMA.
[01:05:41]
>> ARE THOSE THAT ARE PICTURED WITH THE DUAL BRAND CONCEPT? >> THERE ARE FOUR PROJECTS IN
THE PIPELINE. >> EVERYONE DOING IT NOW. ESPECIALLY WITH THE TOP BRANDS.
IT'S A COMMON AREA FOR THE DUAL FRIENDS FROM THE SAME COMPANY. WE HAVE TWO BRANDS WITH THE COMMON AREA BEING SHARED BY THE TWO BRANDS. IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF COST SAVINGS SEE DON'T HAVE TWO SEPARATE AREAS OF COMMERCIAL WHICH IS THE CONCEPT.
>> HUNDRED AND 20 ROOMS TOTAL. >> IS THERE A SWIMMING POOL ON SITE?
>> YES. I'M NOT SURE IF IT SHOWS ON THE SITE PLAN.
>> HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS WILL THERE BE? >> 126.
>> WILL PROBABLY HAVE A SITDOWN AREA AS WELL. >> RECENTLY WHEN GUESTS ARRIVE THEY GO INTO A SINGLE DESK. THAT DOES DEPENDING ON WHAT SIDE THEY ARE GOING TO WILL BE
SEPARATE. >> THERE WILL BE ONE STATION AND THEY CHECK IN.
>> TO THE AVERAGE GUESS THEY WILL REALLY NOTICE. >> THE GUESTS THAT ARE STAYING
HERE UNDERSTAND THE DUAL BRAND. >> I WAS READING AN ARTICLE ON THIS WITH THE DUAL BRAND
CONCEPT. SHE. >> IS THIS A COVERT TRIGGER
THING? >> ON THEY COME OUT TO THE HOTEL IT'S WHAT THEY ARE WANTING. SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT HAVE A GUEST THAT IS THERE FOR FIVE NIGHTS. THEN YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM WITH THE SLEEPING AREA.
>> THE CONCEPT IS BASICALLY GETTING FEEDBACK. MARRIOTT HAS DONE THE SAME THING. ASK WHAT IS A DIFFERENCE IN ROOM COST?
>> EXPRESS IS GOING TO BE ABOUT A $10 PREMIUM. >> THERE WILL BE LARGE
[01:10:28]
VENDORS. >> IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A LARGER FOOTPRINT.
>> THE INSIDE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS. I GUESS A LITTLE BIT MORE.
>> IT WILL BE ONE CORPORATION THAT OWNS BOTH BUILDINGS. >> THEY WILL PUT TOGETHER
SWEET WITH THE COURTYARD.>> WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR THE SITE OF DEVELOPMENT?
>> WHAT ARE THEIR PRICES FOR THAT? >> MY PROJECTION IS 110.
LOOKING AT THE RATES I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE HIGHER.
>> IS THERE ANY WAY SOMEONE MIGHT SEE THAT AND TAKE THE DISCOUNT AND DECIDE TO LIVE
THERE? >> IT WILL BE $100 A NIGHT. WE ARE SAYING THAT RIGHT NOW IT COULD BE HUNDRED AND 10 OR HUNDRED AND 20. I DON'T SEE THEM SPENDING THAT
PER MONTH. >> WE DO ONE THING AT OUR HOTELS WHICH IS LEISURE
HOSPITALITY. >> UNMANAGEABLE TO A WELLNESS CHECK EVERY 36 HOURS.
HE STAY ONE NIGHT AND HAVE A DO NOT NIGDISTURBED BY THE SECOND THEY WILL DO A WELLNESS CHECK.
SO WE COULD CHECK A REMOTE TWO. THE. >> I JUST HAVE QUESTIONS FOR
STAFF. >> A COUPLE THINGS I WANT TO CHECK ON BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME
[01:15:10]
THINGS WE WANT TO HOLD YOU PRETTY GOOD. I WAS LOOKING UNDER THE MULTITENANT SIGNAGE FOR THE ORIGINAL SIGN PLUS THE SIGN PERCENTAGE THAT YOU HAVE ON EACH STRUCTURE WHICH WOULD STAY THE SAME TO THE ORIGINAL PD. THE PART I WAS CONFUSED UPON WAS THE FENCE DIAGRAM. THEY ARE STILL USING THE SAME PRODUCTS.>> THE LAST QUESTION I HAVE IS MORE, TRACK AND FLOW. I KNOW THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT HAVE POINTS OF ACCESS BUT IT IS BECAUSE WHEN IT WAS FULLY DEVELOPED IT WOULD HAVE THE POINT OF ACCESS. DOES CHANGING THIS TO A MORE HIGH-TRAFFIC USE CHANGE THAT?
SHE. >> IT DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING FROM THIS STANDPOINT.
>> THE LAST THING AT NIGHT IS ON THE TWO-STORY STORAGE. IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS.
>> IT'S ABOUT 35 FEET. >> PLEASE ELABORATE ON THAT. ASK WHAT THIS AMENDMENT WE GO
TO 50? >> CORRECT. >> THIS MAX OUT AT 35 FEET
HEIGHT. SHE. >> IS 126 PARKING WHAT IS THE
MINIMUM REQUIREMENT? >> IN THIS CASE THE MINIMUM IS 112 MAXIMUM 140 SORT OF THE REASON FOR THAT RANGES WE ALLOW UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 25% MAXIMUM AND ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES.
112 IS THE MINIMUM FOR THE RATIO WE HAVE WHICH IS 0.8 ONE SPACE FOR EACH ROOM THEREAFTER.
BUT THE MINIMUM OF 112 SPACES. >> WILL REQUIRE 112 PARKING SPACES.
>> BASED ON THE CALCULATIONS THAT WE HAVE AND PROBABLY CONFUSING EVERYONE.AND THEN ONE SPACE FOR EVERY ROOM AFTER THAT. TO POINT IT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH LESS. IT ALLOWS FOR A MAXIMUM OF 140 SPACES.
>> MY LAST QUESTION IS PROBABLY ON THE EAST SIDE WHICH IS UNDEVELOPED.
NOT THAT IT MATTERS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T FOLLOW IT. >> THEY PROMOTE WALK ABILITY FROM THE STANDPOINT SO DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE A SPECIFIC LOT TYPE WHEN IT COMES TO BEING
OUTSIDE OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. >> HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE WALK ABILITY BECAUSE I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF THE RESTAURANTS AROUND THIS AREA.
WE HAVE SIDEWALKS EVERYWHERE AROUND THIS AREA? WHAT SIDEWALKS ARE GOING TO
[01:20:03]
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG EAST MAIN STREET. >> BUT ON MAIN STREET WE GO
CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE ANY CORRECT? >> WE DO WE HAVE IT IN THE NEW
DEVELOPMENTS. >> IS SOMEBODY THEORETICALLY CAN STAY THERE IF THEY WANTED
TO. >> REMEMBER THE SPECIFIC FIGHT ON THE WALL.
THERE IS A GAP ON THE SIDEWALKS BETWEEN THE 711 THAT'S UNBILLED.
>> THOSE ARE SEPARATE INDIVIDUAL LOTS. THAT WAS NOT PART OF THAT.
>> I HAVE CONCERN WITH THE PARKING. PARKING I'VE SEEN A SINGLE HEADED PARKING FOR SINGLE-FAMILY VEHICLES. HOW ARE WE ADDRESSING THAT STYLE OF PARKING IN ITS PARKING LOT? FROM WHAT I CAN SEE THERE'S NO
ACCOMMODATION FOR IT. >> NORMALLY THE HOTEL DOES NOT STAY 100%.
NEVER SEEN WHERE WE'VE HAD AN ISSUE.AS ALWAYS BEEN PLENTY OF PARKING.
WE ARE PROTECTING THE COURTYARD AT 73%. WITH THAT SAID THERE SHOULD BE
PLENTY OF PARKING. >> AM JUST LOOKING AT THE WAY THAT THIS IS.
IS THIS THE FINAL PARKING SHOULD WORK. >> RIGHT NOW I CAN SEE PEOPLE PULLING A TRAILER INTO THIS AND CAUSING AN ISSUE. I DON'T SEE A WAY THAT THEY
COULD PULL A TRAILER THROUGH THAT PARKING LOT. >> I DOES WIN MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY. I FOUND A NUMBER OF STATEMENTS ONLINE.
EVEN ADVERTISING IN A WAY. I WOULD ASSUME INFLATION HAS HIT IT A LITTLE BIT.
[01:25:19]
. IF YOU ARE A SINGER AT A CERTAIN AGE YOU CAN GET $60 PERNIGHT STAY. >> YOU COULD PROBABLY GET A $60 RATE AT A MARRIOTT.
HOPEFULLY THIS AREA IS NOT THE ISSUE. >> I GUESS OUR QUESTION WOULD
BE KNOWING THAT AREA WELL. >> SUNDAY TO THURSDAY YOU'RE DEALING WITH CORPORATE.
ASK HIM WONDERING WHERE I SEE. I KNOW WE HAVE HOTELS COMING ON THE HIGHWAY.
I'M WONDERING WHAT YOUR THOUGHT PROCESSES BECAUSE IT'S FAST FOOD ACROSS THE STREET.
>> WE DID LOOK AT THAT SITE. I FELT LIKE THIS AREAS BEING UNDERSERVED.
>> THERE ARE SOME MEASURABLE DISCOUNTS FOR SENIORS. >> WOULD HAVE SEEN ONLINE IS
VERY NOT TRUE. >> YOU CAN GO TO PROBABLY EVERY HARD-HIT EXPRESS IN THIS
AREA. >> I KNOW EVEN IN MY OWN CASE ACTUALLY NEVER RENT A ROOM AND I FORGET WHAT MY WIFE DOES. SEEMS LIKE WE GET 175 BUCKS IF WE DO IT IN OTHER SITES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GUYS DOING DICK'S GIVING AND CHRISTMAS BUT IT'S SLOW AND IT REALLY PICKS UP. THEY MIGHT GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF A DISCOUNT.
>> I'M ASSUMING THAT WORKS OFF OF AN ALGORITHM PROCESS. >> IF THE USAGE IS DOWN LET'S
SAY TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. >> I HAVE A LOT OF MONEY
INVESTED. >> I DO THAT ON MY PROPERTIES. >> IS THERE A RULE THAT THE
SENIORS HAVE THAT DISCOUNT?>> HOPEFULLY YOU'RE NOT THINKING OF THAT BRAND.
[01:30:17]
>> IT'S A REALLY LOW-END ECONOMY BRAND. >> IT'S A LOW ECONOMY BRAND.
>> ARTICLES THAT I'VE REVIEWED ARE HERE. SOME OF THOSE ARE AROUND
SEVERAL DIFFERENT CONVERSATIONS. >> THERE LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT
WAYS TO DO THAT. >> IT'S NOT FROM A FRANCHISE. >> I'M SAYING FROM DIFFERENT
VIEWPOINTS. >> I'VE BEEN WITH THEM FOR 20 YEARS NOW AND I HAVE NOT HAD
THAT SCENARIO. >> I'M JUST GONNA WRAP MY COMMENTS UP.
I'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH THIS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IN THE END FOR ME AND SPEAKING OVERALL. HOTEL VERSUS STORAGE UNIT. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO ASK.
IS IT ANYTHING MY FAMILY COMES INTO TOWN AND THEY'RE HERE TO STAY.
I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM. I'VE RESEARCHED THE BRANDS AND EVERYTHING AND I DO THINK THAT THERE IS A SPECIFIC DIFFERENCE WITHOUT BEING DOABLE. VERSUS EVEN A STANDALONE SUITE.
EVEN SOME OF THEM WERE TO LOOK RUN DOWN WITH PRICING IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A CONCEPT THAT SEES
WERE. THAT'S IT FOR NOW. I LIKE THE CONCEPT.>> ANDERSON WE COULD DO THAT STORAGE FACILITIES.GOING UP TO 55 IN THE CENTER OF TOWN CONCERNS ME A BIT. XO THINK IT'S A GREAT VIEW OF OUR WONDERFUL CITY.
>> I WON'T NAME NAMES BUT I WAS HERE WHEN THIS GOT APPROVED.
>> I WILL SAY THAT THE HEIGHT AT THE TIME BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO INSIDE WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD WORK SO WE DID THIS. I WAS THE ONE ARE ONE OF THE
ONES I DID VOTE YES. >> I DO SHARE SOME OF THIS LONG FOR THE MULTITENANT SIDE.
IT IS AN AREA OF TOWN WITH SMALL BUILDINGS. AS YOU SEE IT'S A PRETTY
UNDEVELOPED AREA. >> WE HAVE ARTIE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
>> THIS IS A TOUGH ONE FOR ME. I'M A 40 YEAR RESIDENT HERE. I WANT TO THANK THE APPLICANT AND THE SPEAKERS. I WANT TO THANK THE STAFF. I THINK EVERYBODY'S DONE A GREAT JOB. ASK THESE FOLKS THAT HAVE PRESENTED THIS I'VE GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY AND I THINK THE OWNERS OF THESE HOTELS ARE AN OUTSTANDING MAN.
I THINK THAT THAT PRODUCT IS OUTSTANDING. I NOW HAVE TO SPEAK IS A 40
[01:35:01]
YEAR RESIDENT. AND REVIEW HOW I HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS.I COULD SEE THE TOWN GOING QUICKLY AND I WAS CONCERNED THAT WE WERE GOING TO LOSE THE HEART AND SOUL OF WHO WE WERE. AT THE TIME WE CONTINUED TO SUCCESSFULLY GROW.
THIS IS THE LAST SCOPE OF HEART BEAT THAT WE HAVE FOR MIDLOTHIAN.
I LOOK FOR WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVIDES FOR AND IT PROVIDES FOR HOTELS THAT ARE COMING BEFORE US. WE ARE CORRECT THAT WE DO AND THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES TO COME SO WE LOOK FOR HOTEL SITE. I WILL EXPLAIN THAT IN A MINUTE. WE HAVE TWO HOTEL SIDES AND SHADE ROOMS WHICH HAVE ARTIE BEEN APPROVED. WE HAVE ANOTHER HOTEL SITE AT THE MARRIOTT.
WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE TWO MORE HOTELS FOR WHICH THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT KNOW YET AND TWO MORE HOTELS THAT WILL BE COMING FOR US. WHAT ARE WE DOING THAT IS UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT? IS A LOOK AT THAT I LOOK AT WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE I KNOW THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE GETTING ACROSS THEIR BACK TO THE LIGHT.
WE HAD THE STACK OF TRAFFIC THAT'S TRYING TO GET INTO MCDONALD'S AND THEN YOU TRY TO GET AND I'M THINKING TO MYSELF IF I'M COMING IN TO STAY OVERNIGHT I'M GOING TO BE TRYING TO GET BACK TO THAT WITH HOW HARD IT TAKES. I THINK BACK WHEN I WAS ON THE COUNCIL AND I WAS A PART OF THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS THAT ALLOWED THIS STORAGE FACILITY TO TAKE PLACE. WE WERE FACED WITH A QUANDARY AND AN ISSUE WITH INDUSTRIAL ZONE RUNNING THROUGH THIS AREA. WE DECIDED HIS COUNSEL THAT EVEN THOUGH WE LIKE THE STORAGE FACILITY WE FELT LIKE THAT WOULD BE A MUCH LESS TRAFFIC USAGE FORMAT DUMPING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THEN SOMETHING MORE OF A RETAIL ORIGIN BECAUSE WE KNEW RETAIL WAS COMING IN LATER. GUESS THE LAST THING I WOULD SAY AS PART OF MY CLOSING COMMENTS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MENTIONED THE QUESTIONS OF THE PUBLIC WOULD KNOW FOR THE
[01:40:02]
FUTURE. WE ARE USED TO HAVING A MUCH MORE OPEN FORMAT.PLANNING AND ZONING WOULD VOTE AND DECIDE ON WHAT'S FAIR THAT'S NOT ON A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WE GOT STAFF ABLE TO MAKE THE DECISIONS. WE HAVE STAFF TO STAY ONLY WITHIN THE BOXES OF THE ORDINANCES AND WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT FOR THE PROPERTY IF IT'S FOR THAT USE. THEY DON'T GET INTO WHAT FITS. DO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT? CORRECT. I THINK HAVING HOTEL OVER TWO STORIES I DON'T KNOW HOW ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN IT WOULD BE FOR FOUR STORIES IN THE DOWNTOWN FORMAT. IF WE TAKE AN ATTITUDE THAT WE GROW AND WE LOOK AT WHAT THE TAX BASIS IS GOING TO BE FOR US THE IDEAS THAT WE HAVE 65 MILES TO DO THAT.
WE HAVE 7 AND A HALF MORE HOTELS COMING IN SOONER OR LATER.
TWO OR THREE OF THOSE QUITE SOON I BELIEVE. ONCE YOU MOVE IN THIS DIRECTION
IN THIS FORMAT IT'S NEVER TO BE RETRIEVED AGAIN. >> THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU PRESENTED. BELIEVE THIS IS A TOP-NOTCH PRODUCT. I JUST THINK IT'S A BAD PLACE.
ADAIR HEARD SOMEONE SAY AS IT GOES THROUGH AN S&P PROCESS. WE HAVE THIS CONVERSATION EVERY SINGLE TIME. IF I HAVE THIS IS AN OPTION OR HOTEL I WOULD PROBABLY GO FOR THIS. I HAVE TEENAGERS AND OUT YOU GO.
>> YOU KNOW THAT I'M NOT BIG ON GROWTH AND I'M NOT A HUGE PERSON EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT
ABOUT ME. >> I THINK THE CALL TO PRESERVE THAT CORNER HAS BEEN MADE BEFORE THE 711 IN THE WAFFLE HOUSE CAYMAN. MIA ACTUALLY SEEMS LIKE A MUCH BETTER FIT THAN PUTTING THE SELF STORAGE THERE. THERE'S PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE SELF STORAGE. I THINK THAT IS SOMEWHAT OF AN UPSCALE HOTEL THAT IS NOT LISTENING TO A FREEWAY RIGHT NEXT TO THE ROOMS AND IT SEEMS PRETTY DESIRABLE.
[01:45:07]
TO ME IF I WAS COMING HERE AND COMING TO VISIT I LOOK AT THIS IS A MUCH BETTER USE OF THECURRENT ZONING. >> THE OTHER THING ABOUT TRAFFIC IS HOTEL TRAFFIC COMING IN AND OUT VERGES STORAGE AND THEN GOING BACK OVER THE ROAD IS TOO MUCH.
>> FINAL COMMENTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS? >> AND MAKE A MOTION TO
APPROVE QUICK . >> SECOND PLEASE VOTE. >> THE ITEM PASSES FIVE AND
TWO. >> THANK YOU COUNSEL AND TO THOSE THAT PRESENTED AND THE
[EXECUTIVE SESSION]
