[2026-117 Citizens to be heard]

>> NO COMMENT. >> MOVING ON TO HAVE CITIZENS TO BE HEARD. THE CITY COUNCIL INVITES CITIZENS TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ANY TOPIC THAT'S NOT SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC HEARING. CITIZENS WISHING TO SPEAK SHOULD COMPLETE A PERTURBATION FORM RED SPEAKERS ARE LIMITED TO 3 MINUTES IN ATTENDANCE TO TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT.

COME FORWARD AND TURN YOUR MICROPHONE AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF. WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIVE IN THE

CITY. >> DEBORAH MARK WARD AND I DO LIVE IN THE CITY OF LIMITS. I WAS HERE LAST COUNCIL MEETING REGARDING THE PARKING ON PUBLIC STREET, THE SOLAR PANEL THING.

NOTHING WAS DONE. I ALSO FILED A VIOLATION ONLINE AND NOTHING WAS DONE THERE. IT'S CONTINUING TO GET WORSE.

I'VE GOT PICTURES HERE. I MEAN...

OUR GOOD TAXPAYER MONEY PAID FOR THIS BLACKTOP ROAD AND NOW THEY ARE PARKING ON THE SHOULDER RUNNING UP THE DISHES AND EVERYTHING. HERE IS THIS GUY.

HE'S GOT ALL THE STUFF IN THE MIDDLE.

HE WANTS ME TO DRIVE OVER ALL HIS BANDING IN THE MIDDLE.

THIS IS A PUBLIC STREET, NOT A LOADING AND STAGING AREA.

THE INDUSTRIAL PARK, THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE AMAZON WASN'T IN THERE SO THERE WAS NO PARKING ON THE STREET ON 20TH AND AMAZON HUB. BUT THAT'S WHAT THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE. HERE AGAIN ON 4/27.

I JUST CAME BACK FROM TULSA. I'VE GOT A BIG RV.

THE WAY YOU MADE THE NEW ROADS I CANNOT MAKE THAT TURN TO COME DOWN TO MY ROAD. I HAVE TO USE SOUTH WHY IT TO GET TO MY HOUSE I COULDN'T EVEN GET TO MY HOUSE YESTERDAY MORNING BECAUSE SEMIS, THERE WERE EIGHT SEMIS PARKED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THERE. IT'S A TWO LANE ROAD.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF SOMEBODY IS COMING DOWN THE OTHER WAY.

CAN'T EVEN SEE IT. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

I HAD TO JUMP THE CURB TO GO AROUND MILLER.

MAYBE YOU COME DOWN WARD ROAD AND TRY TO COME THAT WAY.

I HAD TO CUT OVER THE CURB TO GET MY RV BACK IN MY YARD AGAIN.

[00:10:04]

I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT WHEN I DID COME BACK I LEFT AT ABOUT 10:30, THEY WERE ALL STAGED ON THE ROAD AND WHEN I DID COME BACK AT 12 I HAVE TO GIVE SOMEBODY CREDIT. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS THERE, A SQUAD CAR, AND THEY DID FIND ROOM IN THEIR YARD FOR THE STAGING OF THEIR SEMIS. IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE STAGE HERE THEY'VE GOT THE PLANNED ACROSS THE STREET WITH A LOT OF PARKING WHERE IF THEY ARE OVERFLOWED THEY CAN USE SOME OF THEIR OWN LAND AND NOT OUR PUBLIC ROAD.

THIS NEEDS TO STOP. I WANT TO SUBMIT THIS AS EVIDENCE BECAUSE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS BLACKTOP ROAD I WANT THEM TO FIX IT.

IT TOOK US 20 YEARS TO GET THIS 2-INCH BLACKTOP ROAD AND FOR IT TO BE TORN UP WITHIN THREE MONTHS IS RIDICULOUS WITH THESE SEMIS. THEY'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING BESIDES USING OUR PUBLIC ROAD FOR STAGING ALL OF THEIR SEMIS AND STRAPPING THEIR LOADS DOWN.

>> THANK YOU COME UP MAN. IF YOU GIVE IT OVER HERE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

[2026-132 Receive an update from the Historic Advisory Board Museum Subcommittee on the status of the Midlothian Historical Museum project.]

NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN. >> WE APPRECIATE YOUR COURTESY.

WE KNOW THIS IS A BUSY SEASON SO I'M GOING TO BE BRIEF BUT WE WANT TO BRING YOU AN UPDATE AND WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO WHILE WE HAVE A SITTING COUNCIL MEMBER THAT'S BEEN WALKING THE PATH WAY WITH US FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

AND SO WE'VE GOT TO HONOR AND APPRECIATE MR. RODGERS' SUPPORT AND CONSTANT ATTENDANCE WHILE WE TRIED TO MOVE THE MUSEUM FOR MIDLOTHIAN FORWARD AND WE WANTED TO HAVE A'S VOICE AT THE TABLE AS WE GIVE YOU YOUR LAST UPDATE SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR PARTICIPATION TONIGHT. THE MUSEUM GENERALLY WANTS TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE AND TO THANK MIKE.

SINCE WE'VE LAST REPORTED TO YOU WE'VE CREATED A STRATEGIC PLAN.

WE HAVE CREATED A COLLECTIONS POLICY, CREATED LOAN AGREEMENTS FOR THOSE THINGS THAT WOULD NOT BE PERMANENT OCCUPATIONS OF THE MUSEUM. AND WE ARE HERE TO REQUEST TONIGHT THAT YOU ALL CONSIDER WHATEVER AUTHORITY WE NEED TO FINALIZE BUILDING PLANS, TO SECURE COMMITMENT OF THE FIRE HALL, AND TO SUBMIT A $200,000 START UP REQUEST FOR YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN. WE KNOW THAT YOU ALL ARE IN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS AND WE NEED TO START TO GIVE YOU SOME NUMBERS. WE POOLED SOME OF THOSE TOGETHER AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ON YOUR RADAR SCREEN.

WE ARE HAPPY TO STAND FOR QUESTIONS TONIGHT.

WE KNOW TONIGHT IS NOT A DECISION-MAKING NIGHT FOR YOU BUT WE WANT TO GIVE YOU ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU HAVE FOR US AND ASK IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN BACKFILL

FOR YOU. >> COUNCIL, QUESTIONS PERTAINING

TO THE BUILDING OF THE MUSEUM? >> MINE IS DIRECTED TOWARD ST STAFF. ONE, HOW DO WE GET THE MUSEUM A LINE ITEM SECTION OF THE BUDGET AND ALL STRATEGIC PLANS MOVING

FORWARD? >> IF WE LOOK AT THE STRATEGIC PLAN WE ADDED THE HOTEL MOTEL COMPONENT AND I BELIEVE THERE IS 250,000 AS A PLACEHOLDER RIGHT NOW AND THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE CBV AND WILL INCLUDE THAT IN THE BUDGET.

WE'VE STARTED TO PUT THAT IN THE CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN.

>> AND I KNOW IT'S NOT STAFF INSTRUCTION FOR COUNCIL.

DOES DIRECTION NEEDS FOR THE MUSEUM TO GET HIS OWN LINE ITEM

HERE ON THE FOURTH? >> WE CAN DELINEATE IT IN THE HOTEL MOTEL FUND AND IF THERE IS OTHER FUNDING OUTSIDE OF THE

HOTEL MOTEL, YES. >> I JUST WANT YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE DO GET THE BUDGET, I THINK STAFF AND COUNSEL PROBABLY WORKS TOGETHER WITH AN ONGOING NUMBER TO OPERATE IN THE

[00:15:05]

>> WE BASICALLY TOOK THAT 250 BALANCING WHAT WE HAD AVAILABLE IN THE HOTEL. THE REVENUES ARE EXPECTING SOME SMALLER ITEMS THAT WE'VE HISTORICALLY DONE IN HOTEL MOTEL

AND WE PUT THE DELTA OF THAT. >> ASSUMING OF THE THREE STEPS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, THE 200,000, BUILDING THE BUDGET FLORIDA. THE 200,000 IS STEP ONE.

THE CORRECT ASSUMPTION, ARE WE GOING TO APPROVE BUILDING PLANS?

>> WE DON'T KNOW THE FUNDING. >> KEEP IN MIND THE COUNCIL HAS APPROVED A REMODEL OF THAT BUILDING.

AS FAR AS THAT. IT SHOULD BE COMPLETE.

>> AND SO THE NEXT STEPS, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS FOR US?

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED TO GET THE BUILDING PLANS DONE.

PART OF THAT IN THE COMMITTEE AND AS WE GET INTO BUDGET DISCUSSIONS, WE ARE FINALIZING IN THIS CASE THE 200,000 THROUGH

THE BUDGET PROCESS. >> THAT'S GREAT.

>> FIRST OF ALL, IT HAS BEEN A JOY TO DEAL WITH THE HISTORICAL BOARD. THEY HAVE MADE MY LIFE TREMENDOUSLY EASY. THEY HAVE BEEN FULL OF WISDOM AND VERY MEASURED AND ALL OF THEIR RESPONSES.

I KNOW MOST OF THESE FOLKS PERSONALLY.

NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT MOST. THESE ARE REAL WONDERFUL MULTIGENERATIONAL RESIDENT LAURA LES THAT HAVE HAD A STRONG HEART AND DESIRE TO TRY AND REACH THIS POINT FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YE YEARS. SO MUCH HISTORY HERE AND THESE FOLKS ARE JUMPING WITH JOY TO BE ABLE TO LET OTHERS EXPERIENCE THAT AS THE PART COMES ABOUT AND HOPEFULLY WE HAVE A VISITOR CENTER IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND THAT WILL LEAD RIGHT TO THE MUSEUM ITSELF AND THE POTENTIAL OF EXHIBITS, SMALLER EXHIBITS EVEN IN THE LIBRARY AREA IN THE CITY HALL.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A REALLY FIRST-CLASS FACILITY.

IT WILL TAKE QUITE A WHILE. A DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME IN A YEAR AND A HALF. THIS IS BEING DONE RIGHT.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF THEM. I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE, AND YOU MAY HAVE MENTIONED A MINUTE AGO, I DID ASK ABOUT THE BUDGET MAKING SURE IT SOUNDED LIKE FOR A LONG TIME.

I HEARD MENTION OF A STRATEGIC PLAN.

THERE FUNDING WAS PART OF OUR LONG-TERM AND STRATEGIC PLAN ALSO. WHATEVER WE COULD DO.

>> AGAIN WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY, 250,000, THE HOTEL MOTEL FUND AND THAT IS MUSEUM AND CBV BECAUSE OF GOT BOTH THINGS GOING. I DO BELIEVE THAT MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH MONEY AND THERE MIGHT BE FUNDING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

THAT'LL BE OUR FUNDING TO BEGIN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FINAL

BUDGET. >> SO IT'S SITTING IN THE TOP AS

FAR AS THE INITIAL REQUEST. >> ONCE THE FINAL BUDGET, IT'LL

BE ITS OWN. >> VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU. >> WE HURT YOU, THOSE OF YOU WHO SAID, WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT ALL POTENTIAL ITEMS SO WE ARE LOOKING AT GRANTS, LOOKING AT OTHER OPTIONS TOO. WE DO NEED UNDERPINNING IN ORDER FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD WE NEED UNDERPINNING AND SO WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU HAVE PROVIDED FOR US AND THE OPPORTUNITIES AT MIDLOTHIAN FOR OUR OWN HERITAGE AND FUTURE

[00:20:03]

ARE WORKING HARD TO MAKE SURE. >> IN THE END?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION THAT HASN'T BEEN ANSWERED YET AND WILL NEED TO BE MADE. HAVE WE DETERMINED OR WHAT ARE WE THINKING ABOUT IN DETERMINING THE ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES? I HAVE HEARD FROM CITIZENS ASKING THE QUESTION IF IT'S GOING TO BE THE LIBRARY BOARD, IF IT'S GOING TO BE WITH PARKS AND RECREATION.

HOW ABOUT ARCHIVAL STORAGE. IS IT GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR ARCHIVAL STORIES AND PROBABLY GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE TERM. BUT THAT GOES TO THE QUESTION OF THE BUDGET AND EVEN BUDGETING THINGS.

HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONVER CONVERSATIONS?

>> IT WOULD ALIGN BETTER WITH THE LIBRARY AND THE DOWNTOWNISH AREA AND THAT'S ALSO YOUR DECISION.

PARKS IN THE GOING ON AND YOU JUST DO NOT FIT QUITE AS WELL THERE. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE MISTREAT OF COMPONENT YES. YOU'VE BEEN PART OF -- AT LEAST I KNOW WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

WE'VE GOT SOME ARMS AROUND IDEAS INITIALLY.

AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE LONG-TERM IN TERMS OF STORAGE.

DO WE NEED TO FIGURE SOME OF IT OUT? YES. BUT EVEN AT THE LEVEL OF INVESTING, WE HAVE BOARD MEM MEMBERS, IN ORDER TO SAVE SOME OF THEM. THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE LONGER-TERM PLAN AND WE DON'T REALLY EXPECT TO BE A MUSEUM THAT HAS A GYMNASIUM FULL OF ARCHIVED DOCUMENTS.

GOING TO BE LESS OF A HOLDING MUSEUM AND MORE OF A VOCATIONAL, UTILIZING OTHER RESOURCES. BUT PRETTY SURE CAPTURE WHAT WE NEED TO TO PROTECT THOSE DOCUMENTS.

>> WORKING WITH PREPARING THE COLLECTIONS POLICY WE DID SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF TIME TAILORING THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE ABOUT THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A PERMANENT DEPOSITORY.

WE DID TWEAK THE LANGUAGE SO THAT IF THERE IS SOME EXTRAORDINARY ARTIFACT OR ICON WE CAN ACQUIRE IT IF IT RECOMMENDS THE CITY WE KEEP IT. IT WOULD BE EXTRAORDINARY.

THAT'S THE GOAL OF DRAFTING THE COLLECTIONS.

>> THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ALL THE HARD WORK INTO THIS.

A REGULAR BASE ABOUT WHERE WE ARE HEADING.

EXPLORING THE GRANTS IN THE MECHANISMS THAT CAN HELP TO MAKE THE MUSEUM AND FROM THE STAFF STANDPOINT, THE BUDGET CONVERSATION WITH DOCUMENTATION AND BREAKDOWNS GETTING THE FUNDS HAVE WE RECEIVED THAT KIND OF INFORMATION OR STILL PUTTING THAT UP TOGETHER TO MAKE DECISIONS IN THE BUDGET PROCESS?

>> PROVIDED BY THE CONSULTANT, I DO NOT KNOW IF IT'S THE FINAL

BREAKDOWN. >> THAT'S TRUE.

BARE-BONES IS WHAT I'D CALL IT. YOU ALL LOOK AT BUDGET AND WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE IT OUT AMONGST OURSELVES.

AND SO WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CLASSIFY SOME OF THOSE RIGHT THIS MINUTE BUT I DO THINK WE'VE GIVEN YOU A FRAMEWORK AND WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO BACK BUILD THAT AS WE GAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. IF YOU GET INTO A BUDGET PROCESS AND WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF THAT, PLEASE CALL US OR LET US PRESENT TO YOU. WE'VE DONE PRETTY DEEP DIVES IN THE WAY THEY OPERATE WE ALL TRY TO FIND A LONG-TERM SOLUTION.

>> BACK TO STAFF. ANNA ASKED AND I'LL ASK THE

[00:25:04]

>> WE APPROVE THE LEASE AGREEMENT.

IN CONVERSATIONS IT'S MORE OF AN ADVISORY BOARD, WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS MUSEUM AS PART OF THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN.

I DO NOT KNOW IF IT BECOMES A DEPARTMENT OR THAT, THIS WILL BE UNDER THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN. THERE IS A HISTORICAL SOCIETY, THEY ARE GOING TO BE ARMED. THERE WILL BE OF FUND-RAISING OPPORTUNITY WITH THEM. BUT THIS MUSEUM WILL BE AT THE DEPARTMENT. WITH THAT THERE WOULDN'T NEED TO

BE A LEASE. >> I KNOW.

IS IT A DIRECTION OR A VOTE? >> PROBABLY A VOTE.

I THINK IT WOULD BE A BUDGET. CONSULTANTS FOR REDOING THAT CONTINUING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND NOW WE ARE TRYING TO GET TO A BLANK SLATE IN THE MIDDLE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF STORAGE INTERVIEW. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AT AT THIS

POINT. >> YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTION BUT I WAS GOING TO ASK WHAT DEPARTMENT THIS FALLS UNDER AND IT SOUNDS LIKE STAFF IS STILL FIGURING THAT OUT.

>> I WOULD SAY IF YOU ARE IN AN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PHASE IN THAT BUILDING AND MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE A SAY, WE DON'T HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE. LOOKING AT THE WAY THIS WILL LAY OUT UTILIZING SPACE IN THE BEST WAY.

AT YOUR DISCRETION I DO NOT THINK WE'VE BEEN CAUGHT IN THOSE

CONVERSATIONS YET. >> WE APPROVE, ALREADY TALKING TO THEM ABOUT THE LAYOUT. I THOUGHT THE REMODEL IS FOR THE

WHOLE BUILDING. >> IT IS.

>> WE JUST SIGNED THE CONTRACT FOR THE DESIGN BUILD FOUR WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE NOT MOVED BEYOND THAT.

>> OUR NEXT STEP WILL BE TO MEET WITH H A B

>> I MAY HAVE MISREMEMBERED. BUT I THOUGHT THE BOTTOM WOULD BE MORE SHELVED OUT AND LEFT AS A FLEX SPACE.

>> I THINK HE WAS DOING A LOT WITH THAT.

SHELVED OUT IS A LOOSE TERM. AND YOU KNOW, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS SHELVING IT OUT BY TAKING THE INITIAL THAT THEY LOCKED IN THEM HAVING ONE OF THOSE REMAIN IN THE STORAGE UNIT.

THAT'S THE BARE-BONES. >> JUST TO DRIVE HOME A LITTLE BIT MORE I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A LOT.

YOU ALL HAVE WORKED A TON AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I DO NOT THINK WE'VE APPROVED A STRATEGIC PLAN OR WE HAVE AN APPROVED A DOCUMENT OR MOU OR ANYTHING THAT OFFICIALLY SAYS -- I'M HEARING I SAY THE NUMBER IN THE BUDGET IS ONE LINE ITEM THAT'LL COME AND JULY AND AUGUST. THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY PUT ON

PAPER WHAT WE ARE DOING, RIGHT? >> WHAT WE CAN DO IS PROVIDE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED.

THERE'S A LOT ON POINT OF HOW MUCH WORK THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND

QUESTION POLICIES, ET CETERA. >> OUR STRATEGIC PLAN SHOULD LAY IN FRONT OF YOU AND JUST BEING SURE THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE THINKING THEM OF WHAT DESIRES WERE.

AS THE YEARS GO BY, FOR SURE. >> THANK YOU.

APPRECIATING THE OPPORTUNITY. >> YOU FOR YOUR

[CONSENT AGENDA]

MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA BY COUNCILMEN HAMMONDS.

[2026-122 Conduct a public hearing and consider and act upon an ordinance granting a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for Group Home Use in an Agricultural (A) District relating to the use and development of Lot 5, Blue Grass Estates, located at 3220 Starwashed Drive (SUP01- 2026-003).]

[00:30:05]

I'M GOING TO GO TO ITEM 122. WHICH IS THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR GROUP HOME IN AN AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT LEADING TO THE YOU SEND IT ELEMENT OF LOT FIVE, BLUE GLASS STATES, LOCATED AT 3220 STARWASHED DRIVE. THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED THAT THEY SPEAK CONTINUE TO A LATER DATE.

BUT IT'S UP TO US SHOULD WE DECIDE TO DO THAT.

I'M SURE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SEE THAT CASE.

BY SHOW OF HANDS... I'D LIKE TO FIRST OF ALL BRING UP THE DISCUSSION WHETHER OR NOT WE'LL HEAR THIS CASE AND IF WE DO WE'LL TURN IT OVER TO MIRIAM. IF WE DO NOT WE'LL DELAY IT TO A

LATER DATE. >> I WOULD SUGGEST HEARING THE CASE NOW BASED ON THE PARTICIPATION OF THIS MANY FOLKS

IN THE COMMUNITY. >> DOES ANYBODY DISAGREE WITH

THAT? >> I GUESS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD HEAR IT WHEN THE APPLICANT DOESN'T WANT IT HEARD?

>> BASED IT BEING POSTED AND THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO IT.

>> IS THE APPLICANT HERE? I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHY WE

WOULDN'T JUST PUSH IT. >> THAT'S THE ARGUMENT TO BE

HAD, THE QUESTION ON THE TABLE. >> I THINK IT WOULD BE BEYOND UNFAIR FOR THESE FOLKS TO SPEAK ON IT.

THEY ALSO SENT THEIR QUESTION LAST MINUTE.

>> HEARING THE PEOPLE SPEAK I THINK IT'S ONE THING, BUT TO

MAKE A DECISION... >> BUT WE'D MAKE THE CASE ON IT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON IT? ANYBODY DISAGREE ON THE

RECOMMENDATION ON THIS CASE? >> OUT THE NEXT ITEM IS A REQUEST TO ALLOW A GROUP HOME IN THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT PROPERTY. REGARDING OUR FUTURE, THE PROPERTY LOW-DENSITY MODULE AND COMPRISED OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SETTING.

THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTO OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.

IT IS ALL ZONED AGRICULTURAL AND ALL SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND IT'S EITHER RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY MODULE OR AGRICULTURAL.

PROPOSING AN EIGHT PERSON RESIDENTIAL GROUP HOME ON THE EXISTING HOME. THEY PROPOSE TO GO SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL WITH 24-HOUR CARE FUNDAMENTALLY OR THE PHYSICALLY IMPAIRED AND A CONGREGANT LIVING FACILITY FOR THE ELDERLY.

THE EXISTING HOME IS 2,253 SQUARE FEET AND SHOWING FOUR PARKING SPACES ON THE PROPERTY. THEY ARE REQUESTING PERMITS TO CONVERT THE GARAGE, THE EXISTING GARAGE OF A DETACHED GARAGE.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE.

AND SO AS PART OF THEIR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, THEY ARE REVISING THE CITY'S GROUP HOME DEFINITION TO BE A FAMILY BASED FACILITY WHICH CONTAINS NOT MORE THAN EIGHT RESIDENTS AND TO GO SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL AND WHICH PROVIDES 24-HOUR CARE AND PROTECTED LIVING ARRANGEMENT FOR THE MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY IMPAIRED AND A CONGREGANT LIVING FACILITY FOR THE ELDERLY.

THEY ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO SECTION 3.5603 TO NOT REQUIRE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DETACHED GARAGE WITH THE INCLUSION OR EXISTING ONE GARAGE. FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CONSISTENCY, THE ATTACHED GARAGE SHOULD BE THE 16 GARAGE IS ENCLOSED.

THE ZONING HISTORY IS ANNEXED AND NOVEMBER OF 2008 IT IS ZONED AGRICULTURAL AND THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING POLICIES AND WHICH IS HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS NUMBER TWO, RESIDENTS IN ALL STAGES OF LIFE WHICH ENHANCE NEIGHBORHOODS. AND GOAL NUMBER TWO FOR SAFE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS WERE ALL RESIDENTS IN TRANSITIONAL LOT DESIGN. THE PROPERTIES ARE INTERNALIZED

[00:35:07]

THE STAFF DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE BUT USE WITHIN THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT BUT DID NOT SUPPORT VARIOUS REQUESTS WITHOUT PROVIDING THE DETACHED GARAGE.

LAST TUESDAY APRIL 25TH TO DENY THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

>> WE WILL HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC FIRST.

>> IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD AND INDUCE YOURSELF INTO THE MICROPHONE. IN THE CITY LIMITS YOU'LL HAVE

IT. >> FIRST OFF, THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME. MY NAME IS MARCY MOORMAN AND I'M AT 3080 STARWASHED. I AM REQUESTING TO SEEK IN OPPOSITION AND REQUEST FOR THIS LOCATION.

I ASK YOU ALL TO UPHOLD PLANNING AND ZONING DENIAL FOR THIS REQUEST. I'M NOT AGAINST OUR ELDERLY NEEDS BASIS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO BE HOUSE AND I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

MY OPPOSITION IS JUST FOR THIS SPECIFIC LOCATION IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. FIT FORM AND FEASIBILITY.

THE HOUSE IS ONLY TRULY 100,075 SQUARE FEET.

I LIVE IN THE SAME FOOTPRINT, SAME HOUSE, AND I CAN TELL YOU FITTING EIGHT PEOPLE, I WOULDN'T EVEN CONSCIOUSLY WANT TO ENTERTAIN THAT MOTION. JUST DOING DUE DILIGENCE IN MAKING SURE I HAVE THE DIGNITY OF SPACE.

NOT TO MENTION IN AN EMERGENCY YOU NEED THE ABILITY TO HAVE A FULL CAPABILITY OF LOGISTICS, MOBILITY, THE ROOMS IN THESE HOUSES ARE SMALL. NOT SURE HOW YOU ARE GOING TO FIT EIGHT PEOPLE IN. ADDITIONALLY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE, THE APPLICANT HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TYPE A AND TYPE B.

I AM JUST CONCERNED THAT OPERATIONALIZING THIS TYPE OF ENDEAVOR HASN'T BEEN THOUGHT THROUGH.

MY CONCERN IS ALSO FOR RESIDENTIAL'S MIGHT IF THIS IS GOING TO BE APPROVED WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BE SERVED THE BEST THEY COULD BE SERVED IN THIS LOCATION BY THIS APPLICANT.

AND IN THIS HOME. THE AREA WE ARE IN IS AN OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS.

THERE ARE NO SEPTIC SYSTEMS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT HOMES, YOU PUT EIGHT ELDERLY IN AND YOU ARE ASKING FOR THE LINENS, THE BIOLOGICAL... IT'S NOT FEASIBLE.

IT'S NOT VIABLE. SO I'M VERY SURPRISED THAT THESE TYPE OF REQUESTS COMING UP AS THE ZONING COMMITTEE.

JUST TO PROP UP AND I AM CONCERNED THAT LOTS WERE RESIDENTIAL'S FOR TYPE B HOMES, JUST I WANT TO GET FOR WHAT THAT STANDS FOR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSID

CONSIDERATION. >> COMING FORWARD TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN THE MICROPHONE AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIVE WITHIN

THE CITY LIMITS AS WELL. >> MY NAME IS JEFF YARBOROUGH AND I LIVE AT 3240 STARWASHED I LIVE TWO BLOCKS DOWN FROM THE HOUSING IN QUESTION. I AM OPPOSED TO THIS FOR A FEW

[00:40:04]

AS YOU MENTIONED, WE DON'T HAVE CITY SIDEWALKS, CURBS.

WHICH MEANS WE DO NOT HAVE PARKING OUT.

IT'S A FAMILY-FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD.

I TOO, MY FATHER SUFFERED WITH ALZHEIMER'S.

SO I'M VERY CONSCIOUS ABOUT WHAT THE PROCESS IS.

SO THEY CAN WANDER. MY MOTHER KEPT HIM AT HOME DURING HIS 10-YEAR BATTLE WITH ALZHEIMER'S.

AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT IT IS AN ALL-CONSUMING THING.

TO FIT EIGHT PEOPLE, AND IT IS A 1300 SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE, NOT 2300. THE PORCH DOES NOT COUNT.

UNLESS SHE'S PAYING TAXES ON IT. MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK INTO IT.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE IS A LOT MORE ACTIVITY WHERE WE ARE A NEIGHBORHOOD MAN IS NOT AN INDUSTRIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY WILL HAVE DELIVERIES OF FOOD, DELIVERIES FOR MEDICINE WITH STAFF COMING BACK AND FORTH, IN AND OUT.

A LOT MORE TO IT WITH WALKING FROM HOME LIKE WE HAVE COVID.

IT'S NOT THAT WE ARE AGAINST ELDERLY PEOPLE.

IT'S NOT THAT WE ARE AGAINST SOMEONE WORKING FROM HOME.

BUT THIS WILL BE A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR SMALL COMMUNITY NEIGHBORHOOD HERE. AND THE OTHER CONCERN I HAVE, NOT SURE ABOUT THE LEGAL STATUS, IT'S A GROUP HOME BUT CAN THAT BE IT CHANGED AT SOME POINT AS WELL.

A HALFWAY HOUSE OR SOMEWHERE ALONG THOSE LINES THAT I WOULD ASSUME AND I COULD BE WRONG. IT COULD BE A DIFFERENT USE UNDER THAT SAME ZONING SO NOW THE ZONING HAS BEEN APPROVED AND WE HAVE NO CHANCE TO DO THAT AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PROPERTY VALUES AS WELL. I DO KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL KIDS EVEN THOUGH WE ARE IN AN OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD THE WAY THE BUS COMES THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND STOPS AT CERTAIN PLACES LIKE THEIR OWN STREET AS THEY DID MY CHILDREN WHO ALSO GREW UP HERE IN MIDLAND. WE'VE BEEN HERE ALMOST 27 YEARS AT MIDLOTHIAN AND MY AUNTS AND UNCLES MOVE DOWN HERE IN THE EARLY '70S. MY AUNT AND UNCLE LIVED ON THE SAME STREET SO I'VE BEEN ON STARWASHED.

I'D LIKE TO SEE MIDLOTHIAN STAY A QUIET COMMUNITY.

WE'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. WE'VE GOT SOME REAL NICE COMMUNITIES WHERE THE ELDERLY. I DON'T THINK WE'VE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST THEM TOWARDS ANYWAY.

>> BRANDLEY BUTLER. >> PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME IN THE NECK PHONE AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIVE IN THE

>> I DO LIVE IN THE CITY LIMITS. I LIVE NEXT DOOR AT 30 TO 30 STARWASHED. I'M ALSO IN OPPOSITION OF THIS.

A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS THEY MENTIONED, BUT THIS TIME I RODE DOWN EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO SAY SO I'M GOING TO READ DIRECTLY FROM THAT. I LIVE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO 3220 STARWASHED. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.

THIS IS A THREE BEDROOM HOUSE AND THERE'S NO BUFFERING OR SCREENING BETWEEN OUR PROP PROPERTIES.

THE STAFF SHIFT CHANGES. THE INTENSITY USED WITH AGRICULTURAL LAND. RECOMMENDING STRONGER CONDITIONS SUCH AS ADDED PERCEPTIONS, CLEAR OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS FOR THEIR CONCERNS WOULD BE THE CONDITIONS OF THIS AND ESPECIALLY WHO IS FOLLOWING UP TO MAKE SURE THESE CONDITIONS ARE BEING MET. WHEN CONCERNS ARRIVE, THE STREET IS NOT DESIGNED FOR THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC GENERATED BY A 24/7 ROTATING STAFF, MEDICAL TRANSPORT VEHICLES, DELIVERY TRUCKS, AND VISITING FAMILY MEMBERS.

I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE COUNCIL RESTRICT ANY STREET PARKING. I DO BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR MORE THAN FOUR PARKING SPOTS ON THE COMPANY WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE NEED FOR BUFFERING.

[00:45:08]

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> LEE SAID

>> IF YOU'D STATE YOURNAME IN TE RECORD.

>> HELLO. MY NAME IS LISA GINNY.

I LIVE IN CITY LIMITS DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE HOME IN QUESTION AT 3221 STARWASHED. TODAY I'D LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

IT'S FOR THE SAME REASONS THAT EVERYONE IS BRINGING UP.

MY HOUSE OVERLOOKS THESE BEAUTIFUL GREEN FIELDS.

THERE IS HORSES AND PASTORS. IT'S QUIET.

MY HUSBAND WORKS NIGHTS, SLEEPS ALL DAY, I SLEEP ALL NIGHT, WORK ALL DAY. IT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT SUPPORTS THAT KIND OF LIFESTYLE SO WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OUR FAMILY. IF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT IS GRANTED, WE ARE GOING TO SEE AN INFLUX OF EMERGENCY SERVICE VEHICLES. IT'S GOING TO BECOME LOUD.

THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE KIDS RACING PONIES DOWN THE STREETS.

NOT GOING TO BE KIDS RAISING THEIR BIKES ON THE STREET BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS SAFE AS IT WAS.

GOING TO BE AN INFLUX OF PEOPLE WE DON'T KNOW WHO HAVE NO TIES TO COMMUNITY WHO ARE GOING THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY A REGULAR BASIS. PEOPLE IN QUESTION WITH THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT, THEY DO NOT LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.

THEY HAVE HOUSES ELSEWHERE. I WONDER IF THEY MIGHT BE BETTER SERVED SELLING THIS HOUSE AND BUYING A PROPERTY THAT'S MORE APPROPRIATE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

SOMETHING WITH HALLWAYS THAT ARE WIDE ENOUGH FOR WHEELCHAIRS TO MOVE THROUGH, HOSPITAL BEDS, SOMETHING THAT'LL ALLOW EMERGENCY RESPONDERS TO PULL PEOPLE OUT OF THE HOUSE SHOULD THEY NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. AND I DEFINITELY BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL DECREASE MY PROPERTY VALUE.

I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT OPENS A DOOR FOR EMOTIONAL TYPE ENDEAVORS. WHAT'S TO SAY SOMEBODY LIVING DOWN THE STREET USING THIS FOR OPENING A MEDICAL MARIJUANA STORE? THIS OPENS A DOOR FOR A LOT OF THINGS I DO NOT WANT ON MY STREET IN MY COMMUNITY.

I WANT KIDS ACROSS THE STREET. A FAMILY ACROSS THE STREET.

NOT PEOPLE COMING AND GOING. EVEN PEOPLE WHO RENT FOR A YEAR OR TWO AGO AT A TIME WOULD BE SO LOVELY OR TWO AT A TIME WOULD BE SO LOVELY.

IF YOU DO GRANT THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT THE HOUSE BE FORCED TO BE REMODELED TO SOMETHING THAT WOULD MAKE THIS ACCESSIBLE FOR THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR THE PEOPLE SERVED BY THIS.

I DID SOME LIMITED RESEARCH ON THIS AND TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE AN EXPLOITATION OF A VULNERABLE POPULATION OF ELDERLY OR DISABLED PEOPLE OR A SIGNIFICANT PROFIT UP TO $40,000 A MONTH.

THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS AND NOT THE RIGHT REASON TO DO THIS.

>> I LIVE AT 980 BELMONT. I AM IN CITY LIMITS.

I'M DIRECTLY NORTH OF THIS PROPERTY.

MY FRIENDS BORDERS THIS PROPERTY.

WHILE I CAN'T REPEAT EVERYTHING THEY SAID I'LL ECHO EVERYTHING THEY SAID AND I WILL SAY THIS HOUSE WAS INHERITED LAST YEAR.

THEY'VE DONE NO IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS HOUSE.

I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY OTHER COUNSEL OR CITY THAN THE ONE THAT WE SAW. I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF A WRECK.

I DO NOT WANT TO DEPEND ON THEM TO SAY THAT THEY'LL DO BETTER AND ONCE YOU GUYS APPROVE THIS THING THE ONLY GUARD RAILS ARE THE STATE OF TEXAS. THEY'LL DO MORE PART AND THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AND YOU HEARD LISA AND THE REST OF THE RESIDENTS. TAKING THE TIME TO COME APPEAR TONIGHT. GOING TO MISS DINNER WITH MY

[00:50:01]

I HOPE YOU MOVE THE HOUSE TO SAY NO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT.

THAT'S ALL THE PUBLIC SPEAKERS. WE'LL TAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE

THIS PUBLIC HEARING. >> MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC

HEARING. >> NOTION TO MOVE TO CLOSE BY MAYOR PRO TEM. THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSE TO 7-0.

7-ZERO. IS APPLICANT HERE AND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? NOPE.

COUNCILMAN COME UP QUESTIONS TO THE STAFF?

>> STATEMENT AND THE QUESTION. I THINK POTENTIALS EXIST FOR NONCONFORMING USES THAT CAN PEEL OUT WITH CIRCUMSTANCES PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY. LOOKING AT THE PROVISION FOR GROUP HOMES AND OUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND IT'S REALLY DESIGNED ONE ON NINTH STREET RIGHT HERE ON LENA LANE.

IT'S A THOROUGH FARE CORE DOOR AND ONE OF THOSE PLACES WHERE IT'S, YEAH, A SPOT YOU'D SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUT AS YOU CAN INCREASE THE SCOPE AND MAGNITUDE IN THIS TYPE OF PROJECT INTERNALLY INSIDE OF NEIGHBORHOODS I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE D DISCRETION PART COMS IN.

THERE ARE LOCATIONS IF IT WAS MORE LIKE BELMONT 663 GOING RIGHT DOWN TO WHERE YOU'VE GOT INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU GOT THE CAPACITY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO MAKE MORE SENSE.

THE QUESTION I DO HAVE AND IT'S PROBABLY A GENERAL QUESTION TRAVELING UP MYSELF BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IN STATE LAW, I THINK I FOUND THE RESOURCES CODE SAYS THAT COMMUNITY HOMES UP TO SIX RESIDENTS ARE ALLOWED BY STATE LAWS AND RESIDENTIAL AR

AREAS. >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> I WANT THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS IF THEY MEET THE LICENSING REQUIREMENT OF THE STATE, YOU CAN PUT UP TO SIX RESIDENTS AND TWO SUPERVISORS -- BECAUSE THEY WERE PUT UP IN THE RESIDENTIAL ZONING.

ADDITIONALLY IF THEY DO NOT MEET REQUIREMENTS UNDER THERE, THEY ARE NOT LICENSED AND STILL WANT TO COME TO OUR DECISION WITH A LEGITIMATE AND NONDISCRIMINATORY POSITION WHERE IT RELATES TO THIS TYPE OF FACILITY. YOU CANNOT MAKE YOUR DECISION BASED ON PEOPLE THAT HAVE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME TYPE OF DISABILITY. IN OTHER WORDS WE DO NOT WANT AMBULANCES -- WE DON'T BASE OUR DECISIONS OFF OF THAT BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE A FAMILY OF EIGHT YOU DON'T SEE ON THE STREETS THAT CONCERN YOU OR ALARM YOU. WE CAN'T MAKE A DECISION BASED

ON NONDISCRIMINATORY REASONS. >> I THINK THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING FROM THE INTENSITY OF USE.

THESE ARE THINGS WE HAVE TO LOOK AT.

BUT I DO WANT TO ALERT THE PUBLIC THAT SPOKE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS THAT THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE STATE LAW CAN TRUMP THE WILL OF THIS COUNSEL. ONCE YOU GET PAST SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, AND PROBABLY MY OPINION IT'S AN APPROPRIATE USE INTENSITY ON THIS PROPERTY AS IT STANDS TODAY.

>> EXACTLY THE SAME POINT I WAS ASKED AND BRING UP IN REGARDS TO STATE LAW. THERE ARE SOME ISSUES.

I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING AND I'LL ASK A QUESTION TO THE STAFF. LOOKING UP WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY AT 13 FOR FIVE.

NOW THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM 2353 OBVIOUSLY AND SEEING SOME OF THE OTHER ASPECTS THE QUESTION BEING IN MY MIND A HIGHEST AND BEST USE IN THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION AND WE'VE GOT SEVERAL OTHER PLACES AROUND THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE USED.

IS THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE ISSUE? COUNTING THE GARAGE TOO?

>> I THINK IT'S COUNTING BOTH THE GARAGE AND THE PORCH BECAUSE

THE PORCH IS ALSO ENCLOSED. >> OVER LEFT TO RIGHT HERE.

>> NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. >> I WILL TAG ON TO HAVE

[00:55:01]

DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRING UP THE REQUIREMENTS?

>> WE THE CITY COUNCIL, WE DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLACE ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS ON THE TYPE OF PEOPLE IN THEIR IF THEY HAVE DISABILITY. HOWEVER THE LICENSING BY THE STATE, THE STATE DOES PUT SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS ON THOSE FACILITIES ON WHAT IS NECESSARY. YOU CAN'T GO A STEP FURTHER AND PUT ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS ON TOP OF THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE ELDERLY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME TYPE OF DISABILITY.

>> ARE YOU SAYING THE STATE REGULATIONS ARE TRIGGERED WHEN YOU SURPASS SUCH RESIDENTS THERE IS NUMEROUS TYPES OF LICENSING THE CORRECT DEPTH TO GET APPROVAL AT THE STATE LEVEL.

>> THE OTHER QUESTION I WOULD HAVE THAT I'M CONFIDENT IN IS THE SEP, I BELIEVE, IT TRANSFERS WITH THE PROPERTY.

WE COULD CLAIM HE COULD GO AWAY IF IT'S NOT FOR 18 MONTHS.

IT WOULD TRANSFER WITH THAT PROPERTY.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND THE MAINTENANCE IS THE

THRESHOLD? >> IT DEPENDS ON WHAT GOES IN

THAT SUP. >> READY FOR EMOTION.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? THEY'LL TAKE YOUR MOTION.

PICK A MOTION TO DENY. >> MOTION TO DENY.

SECONDED BY HAMMONDS. PLEASE VOTE.

>> DID YOU SAY JUST DENY FLAT OUT?

>> YES. >> OKAY.

>> MOTION TO DENY WAS APPROVED. ITEM IS DENIED.

[2026-119 Conduct a public hearing and consider and act upon an ordinance amending the development and use regulations of a 1.707+ acre portion of Planned Development District No. 179 (PD-179) for a Gas Station with Convenience Store Use. The property is generally located at the southwest corner of West Main Street and US Highway 67 Southbound Service Road. (Z35-2025-088)]

>> GOOD EVENING, THIS ITEM IS AN AMENDMENT FOR A GAS STATION WITH THE CONVENIENCE STORE THAT IS ON 1.07 ACRES.

THIS REQUEST WAS CONTINUED BY CITY COUNCIL AT THE MARCH 24TH MEETING. IF YOU RECALL THE LOCATION IS SOUTH OF MAIN STREET AND WEST OF U.S. HIGHWAY 67.

IT IS IN THE REGIONAL MODULE OF THE GUIDING OUR FUTURE MIDLOTHIAN 2045. AND SINCE THE MARCH 24TH MEE MEETING, THEY DIDN'T MAKE A COUPLE OF ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ELEVATIONS IN THE SITE RECOMMENS OF STAFF PLANNING AND ZONING AND CITY COUNCIL TO INSTALL A LOADING ZONE AND SO THEY HAVE SINCE INSTALLED THE LOADING ZONE AND REMOVED FIVE PARKING SPACES.

AND SO SINCE THE MARCH 24TH MEETING, I'LL GO THROUGH ALL THE CHANGES THEY MADE. THEY ADDED THE LOADING ZONE AS A REQUEST BY STAFF, PLANNING, ZONING, AND CITY COUNCIL.

THEY REDUCED THE PARKING VARIANCE.

THEY ADDED AN ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN FEATURES AND REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SIGNAGE AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF

[01:00:01]

JUST A REMINDER, THIS IS WHAT WAS PRESENTED MARCH 24TH ON MY LEFT AND THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING NOW ON THE RIGHT.

AND SO THE ELEVATION CHANGES SINCE MARCH, THEY HAVE INCREASED THE HEIGHT OF TWO PLANES. THIS ONE HERE AND THIS ONE AND E FACING U.S. HIGHWAY 67. THEY CREATED A THIRD VARIATION ROOF HERE AND THEY'VE EXTENDED THE ROCK TEXTURE TO ADD HORIZONTAL TEXT ELATION. THEY'VE ADDED A SECOND AREA H HERE. THEY'VE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL WINDOW. IT IS NOT REAL.

IT'S A WINDOW THAT LOOKS REAL. IN PLACE OF A SIGN.

THEY'VE ADDED THREE. THEY'VE ALSO REVISED THE REAR CABINET SIGN AND IT'S GOING TO APPEAR LIKE A MURAL LIKE ON THE BACK OF THE WALL HERE. AND SO THE CANOPIES THEY DID REMOVE ONE OF THE CUTIES LETTER AND COMING UP THEY ONLY HAVE THE ONE SIGN.

AND SO THEY DID, THEY DID MAKE THIS UP NORTH HERE.

AND SO THEY DID KEEP THEIR LANDSCAPE VARIANCE.

WHICH IF YOU RECALL WHAT THEY DID IS THEY REMOVED THE TREE REQUIREMENT ALONG 67. BECAUSE OF THE UTILITIES ABUSE ANDTHEY WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH WHERE IT CAN BE PLACED AND CHANGE THE TYPE OF TREES ALONG MAIN STREET WHICH DO NOT IMPACT THE SEWER LINES AND UTILITIES AND THEY ARE OUT OF THE WAY OF THE OVERHEAD ELECTRIC. SO THEY FOUND SOME COMPROMISE HERE TO SCREEN THESE PUMPS. AND SO WE DO STILL SUPPORT THE VARIANCE REQUESTS. THE PARKING VARIANCES THEY MET US IN THE MIDDLE. WE WANTED THE LOADING ZONE TO GET RID OF NINE SPACES AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET A LOADING ZONE AND REDUCE IT TO FIVE. WITH THAT GETTING IT TOOK 45 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER LOCATION IN TOWN.

AND SO STAFF SUPPORTS THE VARIANCE REQUEST.

AND THESE ARE SHOWING THE LOCATION OF ALL THE SIGNS AT THE BUILDING. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW MUCH SIGN REDUCTIONS WE'VE BEEN THROUGH WITH QT, WE'VE HAD THIS SIGN ON THEIR GAS PUMPS AND THAT'S OKAY.

BUT THEY CANNOT FACE ANY OF THE STREETS.

SO THEY WILL BE HIDDEN IN FRONT OF ROADWAYS.

THIS IS THE MONUMENT SIGN. THE SECOND IS TO ALLOW THE CANOPY SIGN. AND THIS IS A BIGGER ZOOM IN AND OF THE SIGN THAT'S GOING TO BE EXTERNALLY LIT.

THIS SIGN AND THE QT ARE INTERNALLY LIT.

THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE BUILDING WITH THE TREES.

WE DID SEND POSTCARDS TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE PROPERTY AND THERE ARE TWO SIGNS OUT THERE AND WE DID POSTED IN THE "MIDLOTHIAN MIRROR." WE'VE RECEIVED NO CORRESPONDENCE TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT FOR A GAS STATION WITH CONVENIENCE STORE AS IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LINE USE MAP, COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES, AND CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICIES.

WE SUPPORT ALL THEIR VARIANCES AS REVISED AND PLANNING AND ZONING AND DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE LOADING ZONE BE PROVIDED. THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ONE.

AND SO YOU DO RECOMMEND TO POSTPONE AT YOUR LAST MEETING AND THEY HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT REVISIONS TO THEIR SIGHTLINES SINCE THEN. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

>> THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. NO PUBLIC SPEAKERS? ALL TAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE A PUBLIC HEARING.

>> MOTION TO CLOSE. THE ITEM CLOSES 7-0.

[01:05:07]

>> KARAMO: I'M BRANDON AUST FIRST OFF THINKING STAFF AND COUNCIL MEMBERS ABLE TO MEET WITH US IN PERSON TO GET TO THE PLACE WE ARE AT TODAY AND YOUR COLLABORATION IS VERY IMPORTANT. I'M OPENED UP TO ANY QUESTIONS

ANYONE WOULD HAVE. >> I'M NOTICING THAT THE GAS SIGN SET A PRICE FOR $2.28. HOPING TO MAKE THAT PERMANENT.

I WILL MAKE A COMMENT THE REVISIONS ARE FANTASTIC.

I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT AND IT MEETS THE INTENT OF THE ORIGINAL USE SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO IT.

>> I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR SPENDING TIME WITH US.

YOU REALLY WENT OUT OF YOUR WAY TO MAKE SOME CHANGES, EVEN SOME OF THOSE THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WERE GOING TO GET.

I THANK YOU FOR DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.

>> THAT GOES BOTH WAYS. >> YOU LOOKED AT WHAT THE RENDITIONS OF WHAT THAT EXHIBIT -- IT DIDN'T REALLY TAKE A LOT BUT IT WAS DONE RIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.

I ALSO AGREE THAT THE RENDERINGS ARE AWESOME.

THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS ON THE SIGN VARIANTS.

I'M FLIPPING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE NEW ORDINANCE AND OLD ORDINANCE. WHAT IS THE VARIANCE REQUEST?

>> IN THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT THERE IS A SIGN PLAN IN 179 ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS FOR TWO MULTITENANT SIGNS AND THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL SIGN OUTSIDE OF THESE EXISTING SIGNS THAT THEY ARE

REQUESTING. >> SUBSECTION ONE?

>> CORRECT. >> OKAY.

THAT HELPS. >> COUNCIL TAKING LOTION ON IT?

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING. REZONING 593 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF LAKEWAY ESPLANADE AND HOMESTEAD

ROAD AND REX ODOM DRIVE. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

COUNCIL REZONING 291 ACRES OF LAND FROM THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT ONE OR 36 ALSO KNOWN AS BRIDGEWATER IN THE EASTERN PART OF OUR CITY LIMITS. WE HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE WORKSHOP ON THIS BACK IN DECEMBER AND THEY WORK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE ISSUES AND MET WITH SEVERAL COUNCILS SIX THEN.

[01:15:01]

CREATION OF MIXED-USE DISTRICTS, THE EXPANSION OF SUBDISTRICTS AROUND THE AIRPORT BOUNDARY AND A RELOCATION IN THE ORIGINAL BRIDGEWATER. THIS FUTURE LAND USE PLAN HAS THIS AREA AS BOTH MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL WHICH IS THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA. REGIONAL, MODULE ALONG 287 BOUNDARY IN THE CORPORATE MODULE THAT TO BE CLOSEST TO THE AIRPORT ON THE EAST SIDE. THAT'S BETWEEN THE MEDIAN RESIDENTIAL INDUSTRY. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH ENCOMPASSING THE TOWN HALLS AS WELL AS MIXED-USE AREA AND THAT IS EXCLUDING THE FLOODPLAIN IN THIS DEVELOPMENT.

>> AS YOU SEE THE AREA IT'LL BE REZONED IN THE YELLOW.

YOU SEE THE FRONTAGE ON 287 WHICH WILL BE THE MIXED-USE RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS THE CORPORATE MODULE OR THE COMMERCIAL MODULE TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE MIXED-USE AREA.

AS EXPLAINED EARLIER, AND YOU'LL SEE LATER WILL HAVE INDUSTRIAL ON THE BORDER TO THE WEST OF THE AIRPORT THERE.

SO THIS IS THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE AREA.

THE MAJORITY BLUE IS RESIDENTIAL IN THE GREEN IS AGRICULTURAL IN THIS AREA AND THEY JUST BETTER EXPLAINS FUTURE LAND USE PLAN WITH THE CORPORATE MODULE BY THE AIRPORT.

THE REGIONAL MODULE WITH ORANGE BEING THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. AND ALSO DISPLAYS OUR THOROUGHFARE THROUGH HERE. YOU SEE THE GREEN ROAD THAT RUNS NORTH-SOUTH. THAT IS A PROMINENT ROAD IN THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO THIS DOES COMPLY WITH OUR CONFERENCE OF PLAN AND IT PROMOTES THE NEIGHBORHOODS WERE ALL RESIDENTS. SPECIFICALLY PROTECTING MIDLOTHIAN'S NEIGHBORHOODS BY PROVIDING TRANSITIONAL LOT DESIGN AND THE DESIGN IS USED ADJACENT TO THIS DIVISION NORTH OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THOSE LOTS ARE BETWEEN 1,008,400 SQUARE-FOOT AND A BETWEEN 1,000 A AND PROVIDING NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES AND SERVICES.

IT ALSO ENCOURAGES A BALANCE OF LAND USES THAT SERVE THE NEEDS OF RESIDENCES THROUGH ACCESSIBLE JOBS AND SERVICES AND INCREASES RESIDENTS WHO WORK IN THE CITY GIVEN BOTH THE COMMERCIAL AREAS AND THE INDUSTRIAL AREAS AND IT ALSO SUPPORTS HORIZONTAL MIXING OF APPROPRIATE USES IN ALL ZONING DISTRICTS.

IT ALSO TOUCHES ON OUR ECONOMIC AND FISCAL RESILIENCY GOAL ATTRACTING AND RETAINING HIGH PAYING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH HUMAN RESOURCES AND IT DIVERSIFIES OUR EMPLOYMENT BASE TO SUPPORT ECONOMIC GROWTH AND LEVEL JOB OPPORTUNITIES.

TO THE LEFT OF THIS PICTURE IS NORTH.

I JUST WANT TO ORIENT YOU THERE. HERE IS 287 HERE, WALNUT GROVE HERE. THIS IS CURRENTLY WHAT IS CURRENTLY BUILT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PRESIDENTIAL DOWN HERE.

THIS IS A SCHOOL SITE THAT MIDLOTHIAN SCHOOL DISTRICT OWNS.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS THIS ROAD TO PLANNING NORTH WHICH WOULD BE EARTH EAST SO YOU HAVE THE MIXED-USE DOWN HERE BUFFERED IN THE TOWN HOMES THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS HERE AND YOU HAVE THE INDUSTRIAL THAT BURGERS ON THE AIRPORT APPEAR.

AND YOU HAVE THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL PRODUCT IN THE CURRENT BRIDGEWATER DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS JUST EXPLAINING WHAT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND THERE IS -- NOT ALL BUSINESSES UNDER CONSTRUCTION BY A MAJORITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR THE SOUTH PART.

BUT THAT IS NOT UNDER DISCUSSION THIS EVENING.

WE HAVE SIX TYPES SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS ANYWHERE FROM 15,000 SQUARE-FOOT DOWN TILL 4400 SQUARE-FOOT LOT.

YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF LOTS AND WE ALSO HAVE A TOWNHOME WHICH WILL LOT WOULD BE 2,000 SQUARE-FOOT MINIMUM LOT SIZE AND THIS MIXED-USE AND THAT WOULD ADHERE TO MULTIFAMILY STANDARDS.

THAT IS A MAXIMUM OF OVER 1,000 UNITS THERE.

AND YOU HAVE ALL THE DETAIL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS HERE FOR ALL THE VARIOUS TYPES OF LOTS IN THE AREA.

SO ON THE SINGLE-FAMILY ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE A MINIMUM OF TWO HIGH PLATE VARIATIONS.

THREE ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS FROM THE PD OR IN

[01:20:04]

THIS IS AN ENHANCED DRIVEWAY FEATURE HERE.

YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF WHAT THEY'VE ALREADY INSTALLED HERE IN THE EXISTING BRIDGEWATER. THIS IS DURING THE PROCESS OF BUILDING AN AMENITY CENTER DOWN WHERE THE ARROW IS HERE AND YOU HAVE THE VARIOUS ENTRY ICONS THROUGHOUT THAT DEVELOPMENT AND YOU SEE THE SIGNS. THIS IS A MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. ONCE AGAIN COMING OFF OF THE 287 STREET. ALL THE BUILDINGS WITH PINK WOULD BE THE MIXED USED. SO THOSE WOULD HAVE RESIDENTIAL UPPER FLOORS AND THE BOTTOM FLOOR WOULD BE COMMERCIAL.

WE DO HAVE STANDARDS FOR THOSE COMMERCIAL, WHAT USES ARE ALLOWED. THEY ARE PROPOSING FOUR STORIES ON ALL THESE BUILDINGS HERE IN THIS AREA.

ONCE AGAIN THESE WILL BE FOUR STORIES OF RESIDENTIAL.

THESE WOULD BE ONE STORY OF COMMERCIAL AND THREE OF RESIDENTIAL ON TOP OF THAT. SO THIS IS IN THE MIXED-USE NONRESIDENTIAL USES. THESE ARE ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR OF WHAT WOULD BE YOUR GENERAL PROFESSION USES.

DAY CARE. BAKERY.

ANTIQUE SHOP. SPECIALTY SHOP.

VIDEO STORE, ARCADE. COMMUNITY -- GROCERY STORE UNDER 5,000 FEET. SUP IS REQUIRED FOR GROCERY STORE, AND PET SHOPS AS WELL.

SO THIS IS THE SCREENING PLANS THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING.

IF YOU SEE THAT THIS IS WHAT WOULD BE THE PROPOSED HAYES ROAD. THIS WOULD BE BOARD ONBOARD.

IT ALSO WOULD BE PROVIDED A 30-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND YOU HAVE THIS SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. THIS WOULD ALSO PROVIDE BUFFERING FROM THE INDUSTRIAL USES AND THE AIRPORTS TO GO EAST. AND YOU HAVE ONE IN THE MIDDLE A FENCE ATTACHED TO OPEN SPACES AND YOU'D ALSO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL BOARD ONBOARD FENCES WITHIN.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF EVERYTHING FACING OPEN SPACE WOULD BE OPAQUE. SO THESE ARE THE AMENITY PROGRAMMING IN PHASE TWO. YOU HAVE A REGIONAL TRAIL WHICH IS THROUGHOUT THE GREEN SPACE. YOU HAVE ONE COMMUNITY PARK, TWO POCKET PARKS, THREE NEIGHBORHOOD CORRIDORS.

ALL RESIDENCES FROM BRIDGEWATER WOULD BE TEN MINUTE WALK FOR ALL NEIGHBORHOODS WITH ALL THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THESE AREAS.

VERY WALKABLE AND IT PROMOTES THAT RECREATION.

BOTH ACTIVE AND PASSIVE -- SO SORRY.

WE HAVE ON THE VARIOUS PARK AMENITIES WE HAVE THAT MINIMUM WHICH WOULD BE A HALF ACRE, POCKET PARK WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF .7 ACRES AND THE POCKET PARK WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 2 ACRES.

THERE WOULD BE WALKWAYS AND TRASH CANS ARE REQUIRED AND AT LEAST TWO OF THE FOLLOWING WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORE DOOR. THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORE DOOR, EXCUSE ME, REQUIRES THREE. THE RESTROOM AND FORCED MULTI-AREA, AND A PLAYGROUND WITH THREE ELEMENTS.

THIS IS KIND OF -- IS WHAT THEY'VE DONE RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS THE GRAND ENTRY TO BRIDGEWATER.

THIS IS THE AERIAL PICTURE THAT WE SAW OF THE PAVILION AND EVERYTHING IN THE PROMENADE. THIS IS THE AMENITY CENTER THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN. HERE IS A TRAIL AND OPEN SPACE PLAN, THE AMENITY CENTER WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.

YOU CAN SEE THE FLOODPLAINS ARE REALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE AND CREATING AN AMENITY IN THESE AREAS.

THERE IS A LOT OF CONNECTIVITY THROUGH ALL OF THAT KNOWLEDGE IS VEAL ROADS OR SIDEWALKS BUT VIA TRAILS.

SO KIDS CAN LIVE IN THE NEW SECTION AND VERY EASILY MAKE IT OUT OF THE CENTER WHERE THERE WILL BE A PULL NOT HAPPENING AGAIN ON THE ROAD. THESE ARE THE VARIOUS ROADS.

WE TALKED ABOUT HAYES ROAD THE PAST SIX MONTHS QUITE EXTENSIVELY. GOING FROM AN 80-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY AND WE HAVE SEVERAL THOROUGHFARES EAST AND WEST.

26 TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS BETWEEN 200 FEET.

NOTICING APRIL 28TH, THIS MEETING WAS PUBLISHED IN

[01:25:04]

THE STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REZONING REQUEST OF AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT PD 136. WE FIND IT COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING LAND USES. DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS 4-1 AT THE APRIL 21ST MEETING. I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND I KNOW THE DEVELOPERS HERE FOLLOW UP WITH THE PRESENTATION,

I WOULD THINK. >> NO PUBLIC INPUT, I'LL MOVE TO

PLEASE VOTE. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSES 7-0.

APPLICANT PLEASE COME FORWARD. MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION OR STAND

FOR QUESTION. >> GOOD EVENING.

I'M WITH HANOVER COMPANY KNOCK STREET AND DALLAS.

WE BEEN WITH YOU GUYS I THINK TWICE WITH WORKSHOPS AND MET WITH SOME OF Y'ALL INDIVIDUALLY AS WELL.

WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO HERE, AARON HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A PRESENTATION TO WALK YOU THROUGH A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.

WE ARE JUST TRYING TO CONTINUE WHAT WE STARTED HERE.

WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE PUT ON THE GROUND.

WELL RECEIVED BY THE RESIDENTS BUT BY OTHER PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT CONTINUING IT ON. WE'LL BOTH BE HERE FOR ANY

QUESTIONS. >> I KNOW WE'VE DONE TWO WORKSHOPS WITH Y'ALL. SOME OF THIS IS REPETITIVE AND STOLE ALL OF MY SLIDES. I'LL GO THROUGH THIS FAIRLY QUICKLY. I WANT HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF POINTS AND WALK THROUGH HOW THE CHANGES HERE.

>> I'VE USED POWERPOINT SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL...

>> REAL QUICK, WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO TAKE HIS BRIDGEWATER HAS BEEN A SUCCESS SYMBOL. THIS IS TAKEN ALL THE DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND THE MULTIMEDIA AND WE WENT WITH YOU THROUGH, ESTABLISHING THE PD, THE DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF THE OPEN SPACE, TRAILS. EXIT FEATURES BUT NOT REINVENTING THE WHEEL PEERED TAKING ALL THAT STUFF AND APPLYING IT BY INTEGRATING THE ADDITIONAL 290 ACRES OF THE PROPERTY INTO BRIDGEWATER. SAME RESIDENTIAL LOT SIZES.

SAME AMENITIES AND SO FORTH AND TRYING TO APPLY THE STANDARDS.

NO ONE CHANGE WAS THERE WAS A SITE ORIGINALLY INTENDED IN THE ZONING. THEY HAVE NOT WANTED THAT PROPERTY MORE SO WE'VE LOOKED AT SHIFTING OUR TOWNHOMES TO THAT SITE. IN CONVERTING WHAT WAS THE TOWN HOME IN THE COMMERCIAL LAND INTO VERTICAL MIXED-USE COMPONENTS.

QUICK SUMMARY. EVERYTHING IN WHITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. MOST RECENTLY THE AMENITY CENTER IS BEING BUILT. IF YOU LIVED IN THE ORIGINAL PD, WHAT WAS REQUIRED WHERE THE FINAL PLANS TO BE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT WAS REQUIRED. THEN BETWEEN AN $8 MILLION FACILITY INDOOR CLUB HOUSE, MULTIPLE POOLS, MULTIPLE AMENITIES. THAT WOULD BE THE PRIMARY CENTER FOR THIS COMMUNITY. ONE THING TO NOTE.

WHILE I CALL IT BRIDGEWATER NORTH, THIS IS DISCONNECTED FROM BRIDGEWATER. A LITTLE BIT OF A 20-FOOT TRACK THAT'S BETWEEN THE PROPERTIES. ALL OF THIS IS WITHIN BRIDGEWATER. WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD THE SEALED TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST. THE ORIGINAL BRIDGEWATER HAD ONE CROSSING AND ONE CREEK CROSSING AND ULTIMATELY WE ARE GOING TO UTILIZE HAYES FOR CONNECTIONS. ONE OF THE CONNECTIONS YOU'LL BE CROSSING THE CREEK THREE TIMES NOW.

WE WANT TO BRING BRIDGEWATER EAST OF THE CREEK AND HAVE MULTIPLE POINTS OF CONNECTIONS SO THE RESIDENTS FUNNEL TRAFFIC THROUGH INTO OUR AMENITIES AND OPEN SPACES.

JUST SUMMARY OF WHAT WE PROMISED AND WHAT WAS BUILT.

ENTRY FEATURES AND YOU'VE SEEN IT.

WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE AMENITIES.

THERE IS THE LARGE LAKE IN THE BACK.

A LOT OF OPEN SPACE. WE WANT PEOPLE TO DRIVE IN TO SEE THEIR NEIGHBORS, SEE THE RESIDENTS, SEE PEOPLE SITTING ON FRONT PORCHES. NOT A LOT OF SCREEN THIN WALL.

WE WANT TO INTEGRATE THAT INTO THE ADDITION.

THIS IS THE ENTRY OF THE TOWER AND A VESSEL BLOCKED AS YOU DRIVE IN. AND THE FIRST PHASE AMENITY ELEMENT HERE MORE LIKE ABOUT OUTDOOR LIVING SO FORTH.

[01:30:03]

IT WAS FUN YOU'RE THE LAST PRESENTATION.

BUT HERE IT IS, HERE'S A FINAL DESIGN.

OEC IS THE CLUBHOUSE. A LARGE AIR-CONDITIONED SPACE.

BIG OPEN AIR GATHERING SPACE IN THE BACK.

WE HAVE MULTIPLE POOLS. THE FAMILY POOL, THE LOUD POOL IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT. A LAP POOL, SPORTS, BATHROOMS BUT WE WANT TO DESIGN THIS YEAR AROUND.

PEOPLE CAN STILL USE THESE SPACES.

MULTIPLE PEOPLE CAN UTILIZE THE CLUBHOUSE AND THIS DOESN'T JUST SIT STERILE WHEN THE POOLS AREN'T OPEN.

THIS IS THE HUB IN THE CENTRAL NUCLEUS OF THE PROJECT.

WE REALLY WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SOIL CONSERVATION LAKE AND LOOKING TO INTEGRATE THAT OPEN SPACE INTO THE PROJECT AS WELL. LARGE LOOK UP HERE ON THE HILLTOP WHICH WILL BE GREAT AS WELL.

GETTING INTO THE MAIN POINT OF PRESENTATIONS.

WE ALWAYS LOOK TO THE NATURAL AMENITIES.

TRYING TO CAPITALIZE WHAT IS OUT HERE WITH WHAT THE LAND IS TRYING TO DO. SLOW CONSERVATION, THERE IS ANOTHER, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL POND AND THE NORTHEAST STORY AND THAT FINGER OF DRAINAGE WAY EXTENDS UP NORTH EAST OF THE PROJECT SO WE WANTED TO TAKE THOSE RING FINGERS AND INSTEAD OF TURNING OUR BACK TO THOSE YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF THAT IS WHERE WE ARE FRONTING ON THESE OPEN SPACES. THE GREEN TRAIL COLA DOOR.

PEOPLE WILL WALK OUT AND SEE THE OPEN SPACE AND EVERYBODY GETS TO PARTICIPATE WITH THE NATURAL BEAUTY AND AMENITIES.

THIS IS THE PLAN, WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE RECONFIGURE AND BLUR THE LINE TIED INTO THE RESIDENTIAL USES UTILIZING HAYES THE 90-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY AS A BARRIER FROM THE SINGLE-FAMILY TO INDUSTRIAL WHAT WE WANT TO CREATE THE CONNECTION TO THE CREEKS OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY COMPONENTS DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CREEK WITH THE CONNECTIONS AND INTEGRATIONS OF THE OPEN SPACES. WE FEEL IT UNIFIES THE EASTERN PART INTO BRIDGEWATER MORE QUICKLY.

SO THE SINGLE-FAMILY HAS HER BACK TURNED TO HAYES.

WE ARE UTILIZING THAT AND LETTING THE INDUSTRIAL HAVE BEEN ADJACENT TO THE AIRPORT. SO THE ORIGINAL ZONING, THIS IS THE SITE THAT WAS EARMARKED FOR THEM.

SINCE THEN THEY DID NOT WANT THAT.

THE ORIGINAL ZONING HAD COMMERCIAL HERE AND THE REST WERE TOWNHOMES. WE DID HAVE SOME CONCERNS WITH TOWNHOMES BEING THE RUN ON 2287 SO WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT TRANSITION BY SHIFTING THE TOWN HOMES INTO THE SITE AND INTEGRATING THIS COMMERCIAL PIECE AND MAKING THAT THE MIXED-USE COMPONENT. ONE THING WE HAVE THROUGH THIS PROCESS AS IT TURNS OUT IT HAS SOME PRELIMINARY SCHEMATIC DESIGNS AND THEY ARE SHOWING OFF RAMPS -- THE FUTURE OFF-RAMP'S HAPPENING HERE IN FRONT OF CHURCH.

WE HAD A ROAD CONNECTION RIGHT HERE ON OUR PROPERTY BOUNDARY.

WE'VE SHIFTED THAT INTERNAL. A LITTLE MORE OF SLOWING DOWN TURN MOVEMENT THAT YOU CAN GET OFF OF THE FRONTAGE ROAD ON THE PROJECT. WE FEEL THE COMMERCIAL USE IS YOUR MAJOR REGIONAL RETAIL'S WILL BE DOWN IN WALNUT GROVE.

WE ARE STILL KEEPING THESE STAND-ALONE STRAPPED IN THE FRONT. WE THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE STILL APPROPRIATE FOR COMMERCIAL USES.

THAT'S ADJACENT TO THE WHATABURGER AND SO ON OUT THERE.

WE THINK COMMERCIAL IS VALID FOR YOUR STANDARD COMMERCIAL USES.

THE MIXED-USE IS YOUR BEST COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES GOING TO BE HERE AT THESE CORNERS WHERE PEOPLE CAN TURN IN AND HAVE EASY ACCESS WITH VISIBILITY AND YOU'LL SEE ON THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT'S WHY WE EARMARKED THOSE THREE BUILDINGS FOR THE PRIMARY USES FOR THE COMMERCIAL USES THERE.

IF THE DEMAND IS MORE COMMERCIAL THERE WILL BE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT BUT FIRST WITH THE GROUND FLOOR RETAIL MIXED-USE BEING MORE MID-LEVEL. IN SUMMARY, THE ADDITIONAL SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS 745 UNITS.

OVER ALL 2807 SINGLE-FAMILY UNITS.

THAT'S JUST THE UNITS PER ACRE GROSS AROUND WHICH IS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE YIELDED JUST UP THE STREET WE'LL SHOW YOU AN EXA EXAMPLE. ALL IN ALL 39, 35.

[01:35:07]

WE GOT FEEDBACK FROM THE LAST SHOT WITH Y'ALL WHICH WAS NOT JUST STANDARD MULTIFAMILY. WHICH WAS SOMETHING MORE MIXED-USE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HANOVER HAS BUILT RECENTLY. THIS IS SOUTHGATE UP THE STREET.

THIS HAS THE SAME COMPONENTS. HORIZONTAL MIXED-USE.

THE IDEAS HERE WE HAVE COMMERCIAL USES ALONG THE FRONTAGE AND WE HAVE MIXED-USE HERE WE HAVE GROUND-FLOOR DETAIL PAIRED THE FIRST PHASE THAT WAS BUILT.

THREE-STORY RESIDENTIAL GROUND-FLOOR.

IT'S THE CLUB FACILITIES RETAIL AS WELL AS LEASING OFFICES SO IT HAS THAT COMMERCIAL PRESENCE AS WE DRIVE IN THIS GREEN LAWN EARMARKED LONG TERM. MAY BE A RESTAURANT.

WE WANTED TO SHIFT THESE BUILDINGS CLOSER TO THE STREET.

YOU HAVE THAT STRONGER STREET STAY AND IT'S A NICE GREEN BELT AS YOU CAN SEE AS YOU WALK THROUGH YOU HAVE THE STREET TREES, THE STREETLIGHTS. YOU HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING ON THE STREET BUT ALSO TUCKED IN THE BACK OF THE PROJECT AND USING THE BUILDINGS FOR METAPHORICALLY SERVING AS THE FENCES. SO MAJORITY OF THE PARK IS HIDDEN BACK BEHIND. WE'LL HAVE TUCK UNDER PARKING JUST LIKE THIS IN THE FIRST FLOOR.

THE BACK UNITS TYPICALLY HAVE TUCK UNDER PARKING.

YOUR FIRST FLOOR USUALLY RETAIL AND GARAGE IS AND YOU HAVE ALL RESIDENTIAL YOU'LL HAVE THREE IN THE HEALTH FLOORS ARE RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE THE FIRST FLOORS ARE TYPICALLY ABOUT TAKEN UP WITH TUCK UNDER GARAGE RING. ING YOU'LL SEE ARCHITECTURALLY WILL DESIGN THESE AS IT READS INTO THE ENTRIES INTO THE PROJECT AS WELL.

WHICH IS THIS FRAMEWORK PLAN THIS TURN IS 287.

THIS OFF-RAMP UP THE SCREEN THE CHURCH FACILITIES.

YOUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE PEOPLE TURNING IN HERE.

THOSE PINK BUILDINGS WILL BE WHERE WE L LOOK AT THE GROUND-FLOOR WILL RETAIL. THE WHITE BUILDINGS WILL BE YOUR PREDOMINANTLY ALL MULTIFAMILY. AND HAVING THE TUCK UNDER GARAGE IS IN THE BACK. THESE BUILDINGS ARE SHIFTED BACK. WE DO HAVE EASEMENTS.

WE'VE ALSO ANTICIPATED WHAT THE FUTURE RIGHT AWAY TAKE WILL BE FOR FRONTAGE ROADS ON 287 SO YOU SEE THOSE BIGGER SETBACKS HERE ABOUT 60-80 FEET FURTHER BACK BECAUSE OF THOSE EASEMENTS AND FUTURE RIGHT-OF-WAY ATTAINING'S. WE'LL TRY TO PUSH THE BUILDING TO THE CORNER. A MAJORITY OF YOUR SURFACE PARKING IS EITHER HAPPENING ON THE STREETS AND THAT CREATES TUCK BACK IN THE BACK IN THESE PARKING AREAS.

IN THE TOWNHOME USES IS TO THE NORTH WHICH IS A GREAT TRANSITION INTO THE HEART OF BRIDGEWATER AND SINGLE-FAMILY USES. SO WHAT WE'VE ESTABLISHED IS A MINIMUM OF 30,000 SQUARE FEET OF GROUND-FLOOR RETAIL WHETHER IT'S A LITTLE BIT AND ALL THREE BUILDINGS IF IT'S ABOUT 27,000 IN LINE OR WHATEVER IT IS THERE WOULD BE 30,000 IN THOSE SPECIFIC BUILDINGS. IF THE MARKET DESIRES MORE, THERE IS THE ABILITY TO DO MORE. I STILL THINK, WE STILL THINK THE POTENTIAL FOR RETAIL DEMANDS WILL BE STRONGEST IN THESE THREE BUILDINGS WHILE WE STILL HAVE THE ADJACENT STANDARD COMMERCIAL TRACK TO OUR NORTH AS WELL. SO 30 UNITS PER ACRE JUST ON THE GROSS ACREAGE. WE ALSO TRY TO INTEGRATE AND THE EXISTING UTILITIES. WHETHER IT'S A WATER LINE OR A SEWER LINE. NOT SURE.

UTILIZING THOSE TRAIL CONNECTIONS REFLECTING ON THAT AS WELL. TRYING TO MAKE THAT A PART OF THE AMENITY OF THE PROJECT AS WELL.

>> WE DID SOME SPATIAL MODELING CREATED 3D MODELS.

PLAYING ON THE COMPUTER TO HELP YOU VISUALIZE WHAT A FOUR-STORY BUILDING LOOKS LIKE ALONG 287 WITH THE DESIGN SPEED OF WHAT PEOPLE DRIVERS IS WHAT PEOPLE DO DRIVE.

THESE ARE SET BACK PROBABLY WONDER 35 FEET FROM THE RIGHT AWAY. THERE ARE SOME UTILITIES ON THERE. YOU SEE THIS RED IS EARMARKED ON THE GROUND-FLOOR DETAIL ON THE CORNER OF THE MAIN ENTRY BUILDINGS. THIS IS A VIEW IF YOU'RE ON 287 LOOKING UP WERE THE CURRENT RIGHT-OF-WAY IS AND ONCE THE FUTURE RIGHT-OF-WAY HAPPENS THERE'LL BE THE SETBACK.

THERE IS ANOTHER ANGLE. THIS IS THE PINK PARCEL.

YOUR STANDARD SINGLE-STORY COMMERCIAL USE.

THE COMMERCIAL PARCEL JUST NORTH OF MIXED-USE.

THOSE ARE TYPICALLY RESTAURANTS OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

JUST INDICATIVE OF WHAT THAT TYPICAL BUILDING HEIGHT WOULD

[01:40:03]

OVERALL THE DENSITY, 3.46. THE WAY WE LOOK AT THAT IS A TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS EXCLUDING THE FLOODPLAIN.

PROJECT WIDE FLOODPLAIN TOTAL WHICH DOES INCLUDE THE MAX 30 UNITS PER ACRE ON THE MIXED-USE. IN SUMMARY WHEN WE FIRST LOOK AT BRIDGEWATER A FEW YEARS AGO AND THE ZONING, WE ANTICIPATED EVALUATIONS WOULD BE $750 MILLION TO $950 MILLION.

WHICH IS THROUGH PHASES TO BE, THE WHITE ZONES, 907 LOTS THE VALUE WILL BE OVER $500 MILLION, AND THE ADDITION OF THE STEEL TRAP THE VALUE PROJECTION WILL BE $1.7 BILLION.

IN SUMMARY, WE ASK ON THE FLOOR IS TO TAKE THEIR BRIDGEWATER PD DOCUMENT. THE SAME STANDARDS WE HAVE.

OPEN SPACE. PARKS, AMENITIES, ALL THE STANDARDS WE HAD TO DO EXTENDING THOSE AND APPLYING THOSE TO THE LAND SO WE PROVIDE THE WAVES THAT WE WENT THROUGH.

AND BASICALLY TAKING WHAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE AND APPLYING IT TO THE STEEL PIECE TO OVER ALL BRIDGEWATER A LITTLE BIT LARGER.

IT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE PAST FEW YEARS.

IN SUMMARY, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ON

THIS. >> THANK YOU.

COUNCIL? >> A CLARIFICATION.

I DO NOT REMEMBER. ARE WE DOING OPAQUE OR NONOPAQUE FENCING BEHIND HOUSING ON OPEN SPACE.

>> WE DID IN THE FIRST ONE IS WHAT WE ARE DOING WE KEPT A CONSISTENT HAVING IT BE WHAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY HAD TO KEEP IT CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY.

>> RIGHT NOW NEXT TO OPEN SPACE THERE ARE -- 5-FOOT TALL

RESTRICTED THAT HAS TO BE THAT. >> THE WAY THIS ONE LAYS OUT ESPECIALLY WITH LOTS OF LITTLE PEEKABOO AND CUT THROUGH.

I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT WAS ORIGINALLY DONE WHERE THERE WERE SOME OF THE OLD CORRIDORS FOR SECURITY PURPOSES SO WE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE TRYING THIS SECLUDED AREA.

THIS SIGHT REALLY DOESN'T CREATE THAT ENVIRONMENT.

AND SO I WOULD ALMOST BE IN FAVOR OF CHANGING THAT TO THE OPAQUE FENCING ON THOSE LOTS THAT BACK UP TO OPEN SPACES.

THAT'S FINE. WE DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT AND WE TALK ABOUT THAT. PEOPLE WANT THEIR PRIVACY AND SOMETIMES YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS.

THE OTHER PLACES WE DON'T REALLY HAVE IT BECAUSE WE TRY TO DO IT IN MOST OF OUR PLANS LIKE WE WERE ALLUDING TO EARLIER NOT HAVING ANYTHING BACKED UP AND OPEN SPACES BUT SOME YOU CAN SO YOUR ONLY SPACES WOULD BE YOUR LOTS HERE AND THE YELLOW PIECE BACK HERE. ONE OF THE THINGS WE COULD DO IS ALSO GAVE THE OPTION IN THE PRIVACY.

SOME PEOPLE ON THE CREEK AND WHAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THESE AREAS I WOULD SAY COUNCILMAN, THAT THIS AREA MIGHT BE A GOOD ONE TO KEEP OR TO ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN IF WE CHOOSE IT. THIS IS A VERY -- THIS IS A RAVINE SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE STREET NOT LOOKING AT IT SO THERE ARE SOME AREAS WE CAN LOOK AT WHERE YOU ARE DRIVING BY OR IF THERE IS A DIRECT ENCLOSURE, LIKE THIS QUARTER IN THE FIRST

PLACE AND THAT'S ONE PLACE. >> IF YOU LOOK AT THAT NODE OVER THERE ESPECIALLY ON YOUR TRAIL PLAN RIGHT THERE.

THAT'LL BE MORE OF AN AREA OF CONCERN BECAUSE YOU ARE PROPOSING TO HAVE YOUR TRAIL RUN RIGHT BEHIND THE HOUSES.

THE ONES YOU POINTED OUT OVERLOOKING THE CREEK AREA AND YOU SEE THE TRAIL PROPOSED. AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY MORE AS WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THE VELTMAN'S COME IN ESPECIALLY THE WAY WHERE THE TRAIL IS BEHIND THE HOUSE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A CONNECTION FOR THE TRAIL BUT THERE IS ALSO TWO MORE GAPS THAT ARE OPEN SPACE AREAS ALLOWING FOR MOVEMENT IN AND OUT OF INVISIBILITY. I THINK THAT ALLEVIATES SOME OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS ESPECIALLY WITH THE STREET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT DRAW, THAT CREATES A HIGHLY VISIBLE AREA THERE.

I THINK BALANCING THAT SECURITY ASPECT THE AESTHETIC ASPECT AND SOMETIMES GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS ASPECT? I'D BE IN FAVOR OF HAVING MORE FLEXIBILITY THERE.

BUT THE MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH THE STEEL AND WOOD WHICH CAN

[01:45:08]

CREATE -- >> WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THAT.

WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT THE FENCING PLAN AND TAKE THOSE AREAS WITH WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING.

WE LOOK AT THAT BASED ON YOUR COMMENTS TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES TO DOCUMENT WHERE IF WE DO NOT HAVE A TRAIL BACK THERE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BACK IN THE RAVINE AREA, SOMETHING WHERE THEY DO NOT WANT PEOPLE LOOKING AT THAT BACKYARD AND MAKE IT

WITH FENCING. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> MIKE? >> YES.

I'LL THRUST MYSELF PAST THIS DENSITY RATIO AND WORK MY WAY PAST THAT. WHAT IS THE HEIGHT OF YOUR MIXED-USE AND OTHER COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS ON THE FRONTAGE OF HIGHWAY TWO? WHAT IS THE OVER ALL?

>> WE ARE PROPOSING A MAX HEIGHT OF FOUR STORIES OR 50 FEET BECAUSE OF THE PARAPETS ON TOP OF THOSE OR EVEN IF YOU DO AND ANGLED FOR OBITUARY. AND I CANNOT REMEMBER IN THE ORIGINAL BECAUSE IN THE MIXED-USE THERE IS NO FRONT PATH. IT'S ALL IN THE BUILDING.

THERE IS NO STAND-ALONE COMMERCIAL.

AND I THINK THAT THE FAULTS BACK TO REGULATION FOR COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND WHATEVER IS ALLOWED AND THERE IS ALLOWED IN THERE.

TYPICALLY WHEN WE BUILD RETAIL BUILDINGS WHICH WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, YOU HAVE WHAT WOULD BE A RETAIL STRIP BUILDING OR SHOPPING CENTER. THOSE ARE TYPICALLY ABOUT 35 OR SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE WHAT YOU GET UP TOP.

THE BUILDINGS WE ARE PROPOSING ARE NOT JUST TALLER THAN WHAT YOUR ACTUAL ORDINANCE ALLOWS IN THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

>> WHERE I'M HEADING WITH THIS IS WHEN WE LOOK AT ACROSS THE STREET, THAT'S 35 WHICH IS WHAT YOU JUST MENTIONED.

>> CORRECT. >> I CAN THINK OF NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD WITH THE HEARTBURN EVEN WITH IN COMMERCIAL. WAY BACK IN COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS AND BUSINESSES WANTING TO HAVE BUILDINGS OVER 35 FEET.

AND THIS COUNSEL JUST HAVING A LOT OF HEARTBURN.

EVEN SIGNAGE WANTING TO BE OVER 35 FEET.

MY OTHER CONCERN WITH THAT BEING RIGHT ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD WE LITERALLY PASS THE HIGHWAY. WE'VE GONE PAST THE AIRPORT.

WE ARE COMING IN THE MIDDLE AND THE FIRST THING WE ARE SLAMMED INTO IS KIND OF WHAT I FEEL HONESTLY FROM WHEN I VISITED WITH FOLKS WHEN AMAZED BY THE NUMBER OF FOLKS THAT HAVE MOVED HERE FROM SAINT MANSFIELD AND THEY ARE MOVING HERE AS THEY PUT IT TO GET AWAY FROM THE CITY. THAT THEY ARE HUDDLING EVERYTHING ON THE HIGHWAY. AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE IN THE CITY AND THEY WANT TO GET AWAY FROM THAT.

AS I LOOK UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY, BASICALLY AS AN EXAMPLE, IF WE TRAVEL DOWN THE ROAD ON THE SOUTH SIDE YOU HAVE THE PRITCHETT DEVELOPMENT. YOU HAVE SOME STRIP CENTER.

YOU HAVE SOME ONE, TWO STORY ACTIVITY.

YOU TRAVEL ON DOWN AND HAVE SOME MEDICAL FACILITY.

ALL THE WAY DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WE'VE HAD A SOFTER APPROACH.

>> I REALIZE THERE IS SOME OF THAT W.

THEY ARE REALLY BECOMING MORE ARLINGTON LIKE.

CRAMMING THE BUSINESSES AND THE FOUR STORY STRUCTURES RIGHT UP ON THE HIGHWAY. THAT I CANNOT BE A FAN OF.

I'M LOOKING FOR US TO SOFTEN THAT UP.

THE MAXIMUM I COULD GO ALONG WITH WITH POSSIBLY IF WE COULD DO SOME FORM OF THREE-STORY GETTING CLOSER TO THAT 35-FOOT HEIGHT ALONG THE HIGHWAY SO WE ARE NOT GETTING SLAMMED WHEN WE ARE COMING INTO ONE OF OUR MAJOR GATEWAYS COMING IN THE CITY.

WE COULD ARGUE A LITTLE BIT TO GO PAST THIS.

WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF THIS TOWARDS THE HOSPITAL.

I VIEW THAT MORE IS OUR LIGHTHOUSE POINT.

YOU HAVE THE HOSPITAL. YOU HAVE THE STADIUM.

THE CONVENTION CENTER. A PROPOSAL OF THE HOTEL.

THAT'S THE HIGH POINT. THAT'S THE PIVOTAL POINT OF OUR WHOLE REGION. I DO NOT WANT TO CREATE ANOTHER ONE THAT FAR OUT. IS THERE A WAY WE CAN PUSH THAT MORE TOWARDS A 35-FOOT RANGE AND EVEN THEN PICK IT UP BEHIND THAT

SO WE ARE NOT GETTING SLAMMED? >> TO YOUR QUESTION, WE ACTUALLY WERE LOOKING AT THAT IN REVERSE. I TALKED TO SOME AND WE EXTENDED INVITATIONS TO ALL OF Y'ALL AND I ACTUALLY HEARD MORE COMMENTS ABOUT THE OTHER WAY. THEY SEE IT BETTER BEING TALLER ON THE FRONT. WHEN YOU SEE A THREE-STORY WITH

[01:50:03]

AND THEREFORE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS YOU CANNOT GET THAT IS THERE THAT YOU NEED FOR THOSE SHOPPING CENTERS OR THAT RETAIL SPACE TO SURVIVE. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY.

AND EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT THIS AND I UNDERSTAND AND I APPRECIATE YOUR VIEW.

WE SEE THAT IT'S ACTUALLY BETTER TO HAVE THE TALLER BUILDINGS UPFRONT BECAUSE ACTUALLY IT SHIELDS SOME OF THE NOISE FROM THE HIGHWAY FROM THE OTHER PEOPLE.

THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, THIS BACK ROAD BETWEEN THE TOWNHOME AND MIXED-USE WHERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING OUT BACK WHICH WOULD BE THREE-STORY SO YOU'D HAVE FOUR STORY UPFRONT WITH THE RETAIL ON THE AND SOME OF THOSE BUILDINGS TRANSITION DOWN TO THE BACK WOULD BE THREE-STORY AND THEN TWO-STORY TOWN HALLS.

>> WHAT I'M SAYING IS YOU'D STILL BE SHIELDING NOISE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THREE-STORY ON THE HIGHWAY.

YOU WOULD QUICKLY FALL BACK TO A FOUR STORY TO BE STILL SHIELDING AS YOU ARE TALKING SO I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

THE ONLY OTHER QUICK QUESTION IS ON THE INDUSTRIAL PORTION I WOULD ASSUME IT WOULD BE AS MANY YEARS AS IT TAKES TO GET THIS FUTURE ARTERIAL WANTING TO BE THAT INDUSTRIAL UP FOR HOW MANY YEARS IT IS TO TIE THAT ONE AIRPORT REGION? THAT REGION IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL THAT ARTERIAL HAPPENS BECAUSE YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO BRING ALL THOSE TRUCKS. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA BEFORE BECAUSE WHAT WE'VE GOT TO FOCUS ON, MY BRAIN IS THINKING IS WE CAN GET SOME INDUSTRIAL, GETTING SOME TAX REVENUE OUT OF THIS TO HELP PAY FOR SOME OF THESE COSTS.

THIS COULD BE MANY, MANY YEARS BEFORE WE COULD GET SOME OF THIS

GOING. >> I THINK IN THIS AREA WE'VE ALREADY HAD SOME COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL TO NORTH OF THE AIRPORT. I DO NOT KNOW ANY SPECULATION.

BUT I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY GO FOR THIS.

SO IF YOU REMEMBER LAGO VISTA. THAT WAS OVER ON THE EAST SIDE OF HAYES, COMMERCIAL WESTSIDE WAS RESIDENTIAL.

I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD GO FIRST BEFORE THIS GOES.

BUT THAT'S PURELY SPECULATION. >> DO WE KNOW WHAT THE DISTANCE IS ROUGHLY FROM WHERE THAT ENDS TO TIE IN? IS THAT EVEN SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD COULD LOOK AT? IS THAT DOABLE TO GET THIS DONE TO GET SOME REVENUE FLOWING OUT

OF THAT INDUSTRIAL SIDE? >> THAT BOARD CAN DO WHATEVER

YOU WANT. >> ASKING QUICKLY, ARE WE TALKING MILES OR ARE WE TALKING THOUSANDS OF FEET TO GET EAST?

>> WHAT YOUR SECTION LIKE HERE? >> WOW.

>> MAY BE LESS THAN THAT. >> IS PROBABLY EQUIDISTANT TO ABOUT 1387 TO THE NORTH FROM THE NORTHERNMOST POINT.

CUTTING THE MILES. >> DO YOU HAVE A BETTER

ESTIMATE? >> IT'S A GOOD DISTRICT.

>> COUNCILMEMBER TOO WE HAVE EXISTING DRIVE OVER THERE THAT I THINK IS ABOUT 400 FEET AT ITS CLOSEST POINT.

SO THERE IS AN EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT IS VERY MUCH NOT FOR RESIDENCE OR PURPOSES THAT CAN EASILY BE AT THE TIGHT END OF THAT IF A USER WAS WILLING TO CONNECT THOSE TWO

CORRIDORS TOGETHER. >> BY THE WAY, WE'D LOVE TO SEE

THAT AS WELL. >> AND WE'VE WORKED WITH STAFF TOO AND MIKE AND EVERYBODY WHERE WE BUILD OUR SECTIONS AND WE HAVE TO BUILD IT BUT IF YOU ALL WANT TO COME IN AND DO IT SOONER THAN THAT OBVIOUSLY WE CAN WORK ON THE RIGHT OF WAY AND ALL THE GOOD STUFF, ALIGNMENTS, AND WORK WITH YOU ALL.

IT'S A HIGH PRIORITY. IT FREES UP TRAFFIC AND JUST ANOTHER NORTHSIDE CONNECTOR AND WE'D LOVE TO HAVE THAT,

HONESTLY. >> THANK YOU.

>> AS IT RELATES TO COUNCILMAN RODGERS' COMMENTS THERE, THE PORTION NOT INSIDE OF THEIR LAND PLAN WOULD BE DIRECTLY SOUTH AND EAST OF THIS PROPERTY. IF I'M READING OUR FUTURE LAND USE, THAT'S DESIGNATED AS COMMERCIAL MODULE.

>> IS NOT COMMERCIAL BUT CORPORATE AND/OR REGIONAL.

>> THE MOST SOUTHERN EXTENSION I BELIEVE IS REGIONAL.

IT WOULD BE ALONG THE 287 CORE DOOR.

THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD BE PROPOSED TO BE THERE WOULD BE FROM THE FUTURE WHENEVER THAT LAND GOES UP TO THE MIDDLE TO CITY LIMITS. IT WOULD BE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL

[01:55:03]

GO TO COMMERCIAL. >> YES.

>> THAT'S NOT RIGHT ON THE BORDER.

>> NO. >> I THINK REX ODOM IS THE BORDER, OR CLOSE? I THINK IT'S 200 FEET TO THE

NORTHWEST. >> IT'S BASIC.

>> CAN WE HONE IN ON THE MIXED-USE SECTION? JUST SO I'M UNDERSTANDING. OF THESE 16 BUILDINGS, THREE OF THEM ARE THE POTENTIAL VERTICAL MIXED-USE AND BETWEEN THE THREE OF THEM YOU ARE GOING THAT HAVE THAT 30,000 SQUARE FEET OF THE RETAIL. CORRECT?

>> THAT'S CORRECT. MINIMUM.

IF THE MARKET -- IN MIXED-USE YOU ARE CHALLENGE -- YOUR CHALLENGE IS THAT SOMETIMES YOU DO NOT WANT IT TO SIT VACANT.

IT'LL LOOK LIKE A GHOST TOWN. BUT GUYS THAT HAVE DONE WELL THEY'D RATHER HAVE A LOT OF COMMERCIAL BECAUSE YOU GET A LOT MORE VALUE OUT OF COMMERCIAL WHEN YOU SELL THE STUFF.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE IN OTHER PLACES WHERE HE HAVE DONE IT, A MINIMUM. SOMETIMES THEY DO A BIT OF LIVED IN WORK UNITS IN ADDITION TO THAT WHAT YOU HAVE MORE OF THE FEEL. I THINK OTHER MUNICIPALITIES -- NOT SAYING THAT Y'ALL HAVE TO DO THIS BUT IT WOULD BE THE EXPERIENCE OF DOING IT, IT'S GREAT TO LOOK BUT EVEN IF YOU CAN MAKE IT TO WHERE IT'S MORE WALKABLE.

THE UNITS WE SHOWED YOU GUYS IN SOUTHGATE WHERE WE DID IT, WE ALSO HAD UNITS THAT HAD A GROUND-FLOOR WALKOUT DIRECTLY.

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN A VERY URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO CREATE HERE.

BUT YES. MINIMUM 30 AND ONE OR ALL

ESPECIALLY IN THOSE BUILDINGS. >> THE OTHER 13 ARE JUST

APARTMENTS? >> CORRECT.

THEY'D BE MADE TO LOOK LIKE THIS BUILDING HERE YOU WOULD ALSO HAVE SOME OF THESE AREAS BECAUSE THIS IS DEDICATED JUST TO RETAIL. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE CLUB, THE LEASING. ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS WHICH GIVE IT A GOOD COMMERCIAL FEEL. YOU CAN HAVE THAT FACING HERE AND THESE UNITS WOULD BE DIRECTLY WALKING OUT ONTO THE STREETS. KIND OF LIKE -- AND MY GOING WRONG WAY? LIKE RIGHT HERE.

THIS PICTURE. THESE ARE DIRECT UNITS THEY HAVE IN THE YARD WHERE YOU CAN WALK DIRECTLY TO YOUR CAR OR YOU CAN

GET IN LIKE THAT. >> AS A COUNSEL WE HAVE AGREED UPON MULTIPLE TIMES ALREADY BEING OVER MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT

MEMBERS. >> YES.

>> THESE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ALREADY OVER NUMBERS?

>> THE WAY WE BROKE IT DOWN AFTER WE CALL IT SINGLE DETACHED, STAND-ALONE MULTIFAMILY WHICH IS WHAT THE MAJORITY OF OURS ARE. THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED

INSISTENT LIVING. >> WE DID PULL MOST RECENTLY WE PULLED OUT VERTICAL MIXED-USE. OF OUR PERCENTAGE.

>> WELL. IT IS A PERCENTAGE BUT WE PULLED

IT OUT OF THE STANDING. >> THIS WHOLE THING IS DEEMED

VERTICAL USE? >> IT'S A LITTLE MISLEADING.

IT'S VERY MISLEADING BECAUSE THE ENTIRE PEACH AREA IS BEING CALLED MIXED-USE AND IT'S NOT. SO 3 OF 16 BUILDINGS ARE VERTICAL MIXED-USE WHICH WE LIKE.

13 BUILDINGS ARE APARTMENTS WHICH WE HAVE SAID WE DO NOT WANT TO DO. I'M HAVING TROUBLE RECOGNIZING G

THAT. >> THAT IS ACCURATE?

>> YOU BET. THE PINK BUILDINGS ARE MIXE MIXED-USE. THOSE HAVE GROUND FLOOR RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL. THESE OTHER BUILDINGS ARE STAND-ALONE. BUT WE ARE REGARDING ALL OF THIS

AS VERTICAL MIXED-USE. >> WHY RECALLING THE ENTIRE THING VERTICAL MIXED-USE WHEN IT'S NOT?

>> BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S ONLY -- AND THEY CAN SPEAK BETTER TO IT. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH COMMERCIAL YOU CAN SUSTAIN WITH THE MULTIFAMILY UNITS THERE.

>> JUST TO THE NORTHWEST -- YEAH, NORTHWEST, WE HAVE ALL THAT COMMERCIAL THERE. LUNCH IS NOT IN THIS.

LIKE I SAID THEY CAN SPEAK BETTER TO IT.

THERE IS A RATIO THAT IF YOU GO OVER THAT, YOU ARE NOT EVER GOING TO SUSTAIN RETAIL I DON'T THINK.

>> HOW ARE YOU COUNTING THE FORMULA FOR THIS VERY PARTICULAR AMOUNT. ARE YOU USING THE WHOLE AREA?

[02:00:02]

>> YES. >> THAT'S NOT ACCURATE.

>> I CAN REDO THAT. I HAVEN'T DONE -- WHAT WE ARE AT CURRENTLY IS WE WERE AT 12.1%. I THINK WE GOT DOWN TO 9.1% MULTIFAMILY. AND IF YOU -- IF THESE NUMBERS ARE WRONG IF YOU ARE GOING WITH YOUR DEFINITION, I'M GOING WITH 1,065 MIXED-USE UNITS. SO THE WAY WE ARE DEFINING IT HERE ALL THESE ARE MIXED-USE UNITS.

ALL 100,065 UNITS ARE MIXED-USE. THE WAY I HAVE DEFINED IT.

THAT LOWERS THE STAND-ALONE MULTIFAMILY DOWN.

WE ARE ADDING 645 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS AND THAT'S LOWERING THE MULTIFAMILY AS WELL. IT'S A FIVE-PART MULTI-FORMULAIC

PROPORTION. >> AND I'M NOT SURE I'M IN BATTLING THIS ON YOU, I'M NOT PUTTING IT ON YOU.

>> I'M JUST TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY LOGIC.

>> I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS ACCURATE REP IS IN TAKE AND WHAT IS ACTUALLY THERE IF I'M UNDERSTANDING ACCURATE REPRESENTATION IF I'M UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS ACTUALLY

THERE. >> THAT'S NOT A GREAT EXAMPLE BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN UP TO ALL THOSE THINGS UP THERE IN THAT VERY DENSE AREA. A LOT OF JOBS.

THAT IS CONSIDERED, I'D CONSIDER IT VERTICAL MIXED-USE DEAL.

THE ONLY PLACES THAT ARE COMMERCIAL -- OTHER BUILDINGS DO NOT HAVE IT THAT FACED THE MAIN ROADS.

BECAUSE IF YOU WERE TO HAVE THE REQUIREMENT TO BE VERTICALLY MIXED-USE THAT EVERY BUILDING HAVE RETAIL IN IT, WELL, THESE DO NOT HAVE THOROUGH FARE. YOU CAN PUT IT HERE.

YOU CAN PUT IT HERE. THERE'S NO PARKING HERE.

YOU COULDN'T DO IT ON THIS ONE. IT WON'T SURVIVE.

THAT'S WHY IT'S GOOD TO HAVE IT WHERE IT IS UPFRONT IN THE MIDDLE OR ON MAJOR TRAVEL ROADS. A RETAILER WILL NOT SURVIVE BACK OVER HERE. THEY ARE GOING TO WANT TO GO IN AND GET OUT AND THIS IS GOING TO BE MORE SERVICE ORIENTED.

NOT JUST CARS COMING HERE. BUT ALSO PEDESTRIANS COMING HERE WANTING TO GET THE COFFEE OR DROP OFF THEIR CLEANING OR WHATEVER IT'S GOING TO BE. AND THESE RESIDENTS WALK IN BUT FOR THESE PEOPLE DOWN HERE. I DO NOT KNOW WE ARE JUST GOING BY DEFINITION OF WHAT -- Y'ALL AND COME UP WITH A TRUE

MIXED-USE. >> I THINK WE SAID VERTICAL MIXED-USE HAS RETAIL AND LIVING IN THE SAME.

>> IN THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY BUT THERE IS NOT TRUE ORDINANCE AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE WORKING WITH STAFF.

>> I HAVE A HARD TIME BECAUSE AS COUNSEL WE WORKED A LOT ON THIS.

AND SO YOU'VE STATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT THE APARTMENT, I GET WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AS FAR AS NAVIGATING AROUND IT AND WHAT WOULD SELL AND ALL THAT STUFF. BUT WE SAID WE DON'T WANT ANY.

I'M HAVING A HARD TIME RECONCILING -- I CAN EVEN OVERLOOK THE THOUSANDS OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WE ARE ADDING.

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO, I'M STRUGGLING WITH THAT PART OF IT. AND HOW TO GET PAST THAT.

>> YOU CAN FINISH THAT SIDE IF YOU WANT.

>> I JUST GOT A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

SO TO ECHO A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT OUR BUDDY MIKE OVER HERE IS SHARING, I THINK WHAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE NOW AND JUST TO KEEP IT REAL SIMPLE, WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT WITH THIS FINISHED PRODUCT AND DRIVING THROUGH THAT AREA OF THE CITY, I JUST DON'T PICTURE SEEING IT IT MIDLOTHIAN.

I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE A MAN'S BILL OR ARLINGTON OR ANY OTHER LARGER DENSER AREA. THE FOUR-STORY LEASE.

I GOT HEARTBURN OVER PARTICULARLY YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT GOING DOWN TO THREE STORIES IT'S GOING TO LOWER DENSITY AND FRANKLY THAT'S WHAT I WOULD BE AFTER.

WHEN WE ARE OUT ABOUT TALKING TO FOLKS, ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS AND IT COMES TO ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE HAD, SPECIFICALLY ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN WHETHER IT BE TRAFFIC OR OTHER CHALLENGES WE ARE FACING IT ALL COMES DOWN TO MORE AND MORE DENSITY. FOR ME.

I JUST DON'T SEE THIS AS THE ANSWER.

[02:05:06]

>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. IS THIS STILL Y'ALL'S INTENT TO

EXPAND -- >> NO.

>> NO ALPHABET SOUP? >> WE ARE -- THAT'S ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. NO, NOT TAKING MORE TAX DOLLARS

ON THE ACRES. >> OKAY.

CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE OVERVIEW? OF THE WHOLE SITE PLAN, I GUESS, THAT ONE? ARE THOSE REDLINES I'M ASSUMING

PARTIALS? >> THIS ONE RIGHT HERE IS A SCHOOL DISTRICT LINE, THIS REDLINE.

THE OTHER ONES ARE UTILITY EXPENSES.

>> OKAY. >> ON THE ORIGINAL BRIDGEWATER.

I WAS THERE. I FEEL BAD.

BECAUSE I DO NOT REMEMBER. BUT DID YOU HAVE APARTMENTS ON

THE ORIGINAL? >> WE HAD TOWNHOMES.

>> I DO NOT KNOW THE DENSITY OF TOWNHOMES.

IS IT TO GO UNITS >> IT'S 12. >> IS THAT HOW WE FIGURE THE

POPULATIONS. >> 3.2?

>> I THINK IT'S 2.7. >> WITH APARTMENTS I THINK IT'S

A LITTLE LESS. >> I VOTED FOR THE FIRST ONE AND I TOLD YOU GUYS IN THE WORKSHOP I THINK YOU BUILT AN AMAZING

PRODUCT. >> THANK YOU.

I THINK FOR ME PERSONALLY, COUNSEL MADE DECISIONS I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE ARE BAD SITUATIONS WERE PARTS THAT WERE BUILT BUT IT TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL. I'D REALLY -- I DON'T LIKE THE DENSITY. I COULD GET OVER THAT.

BUT WHEN YOU THROW IN THE APARTMENTS A KIND OF REALLY DOESN'T SIT RIGHT WITH ME. AND I KNOW THAT BEFORE SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

I GET IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT IF WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD APPROVED HIGHER DENSITY USES ON LOWER DENSITY SITES THAT WERE IN OUR LAND USE PLAN THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO GET OVER.

I'M NOT BASHING COUNCIL BECAUSE I'VE APPROVED THEM TOO BUT IF WE APPROVE MORE DENSITY THAN WHAT THE LAND USE PLAN CALLS FOR TWO AT WHAT POINT DOES THE DENSITY STOP? I THINK THAT ROAD IF I'M NOT WRONG, AT LEAST A THOUSAND PAST THAT ROAD, MAY BE MORE TO GET THE SCALE HERE, IT IS OUR CITY LIMITS SIGN. WE CARRY DENSITY TO THE VERY EDGE OF OUR CITY LIMITS. MAX CAPACITY.

WELL. BUT THE WHOLE THING WITH THE APARTMENTS COME OUT TO ME IT'S A GIVE-AND-TAKE.

I'M NOT GOING TO BEAT YOU UP ON THE LOT SIZE IF IT WASN'T FOR THE APARTMENTS. FOR ME IT'S A BALANCING ACT FOR HOW WE CONTROL THE DENSITY OVER ALL AND PERSONALLY I FEEL LIKE IT'S GETTING OUT OF HAND. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

THAT'S JUST ACROSS THE CITY. TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

FOR ME PERSONALLY, I JUST... IT'S GOT TO BE ONE OR THE OTHER.

IT CAN'T BE THE DENSITY RATIO IT'S AT PLUS APARTMENTS.

IT'S GOT TO BE ALL OVER THE APARTMENTS OR VICE VERSA.

AND IF WE ARE TALKING I DO THINK PERSONALLY IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE. IT REALLY DOES.

IF YOU GO ON THE HIGHER PEAKS YOU CAN SEE COWBOY STADIUM.

AND I THINK WE SHOULD ALL DO THAT FOR EVERY APARTMENT I'VE SEEN. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NEW ONES.

THE ALL THE OTHER ONES, THE TALLEST ONE I'VE FOUND IS THREE STORIES. I'M NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON

THAT. >> JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.

YOU TALK ABOUT COMPROMISE. THAT FIRST WORKSHOP WE CAME TO PLANS, ONE THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANY INDUSTRIAL MIXED-USE -- OR LESS INDUSTRIAL AND HAVING MORE LOTS IN THIS AREA HERE.

Y'ALL DIDN'T WANT THAT. YOU WANTED MORE INDUSTRIAL AROUND THAT. WE GAVE Y'ALL MORE INDUSTRIAL WE LOST DENSITY. WE ALSO GAVE UP A LOT OF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE TO CREATE WITH PHASE ONE.

IN TALKING WITH STAFF AND THINGS WE SAID, YOU KNOW IN YOUR CONFERENCE OF PLAN IT SHOWS FOUR-STORY BUILDINGS IN THIS TYPE OF DISTRICT. WE AREN'T DOING ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T GO AGAINST YOUR CONFERENCE OF PLAN AND SO WE DID GIVE UP A LOT WHEN WE CAME TO Y'ALL TO GET THAT DONE BUT WE

[02:10:04]

WHO KNOWS WHEN THE INDUSTRIAL IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

IT BECOMES AN ECONOMIC DEAL AS WELL.

IF Y'ALL ARE WILLING TO GIVE UP SOME OF THE INDUSTRIAL AND GET MORE RESIDENTIAL OR GIVE US UP HERE AND GIVE IT TO TOWNHOME DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOO. BUT THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE WORK IN GIVING YOUR INDUSTRIALS.

TO KEEP THE SAME AS THIS. THAT IS WHERE WE MOLDED IT TOO TO GET TO WHERE WE WERE TONIGHT. AND I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

THE THREE STORIES, IF WE DID THREE STORY THEN I'D LIKE TO GET RID OF THE RETAIL. YOU KNOW.

THAT JUST -- THAT DOESN'T WORK EITHER FINANCIALLY.

YOU DON'T REALLY SEE MIXED-USE IN A THREE-STORY BUILDING VERY OFTEN. IT DOESN'T WORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUILDING. I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS BUT THAT'S HOW WE GOT HERE. I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS TOTALLY. I'M NOT DISCOUNTING IT.

I'M JUST REGURGITATING SOME HISTORY AND SOME OF OUR

THINKING. >> I GET IT.

TO THE FUTURE LANDINGS PLAN, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

IT'S THE PLAN WE LAID OUT. IT'S WHAT I WENT BACK TO.

IF COUNCIL DIDN'T BREAK AWAY FROM THE PLAN WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO SWALLOW THIS PILL AND I'VE BEEN ONE OF THEM.

I VOTED AGAINST IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

IT'S HARD TO CARRY DENSITY SO MUCH FURTHER WHEN YOU ADDED TO OTHER PLACES. YOU KNOW.

AT THE END OF THE DAY I BOUGHT PARKING WITH THE RATIOS I GOT EARLIER. YOU ARE LOOKING AT 12,000 PE PEOPLE. THAT'S AN IMPACT.

PHASE ONE IS DONE. THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT. BUT WHAT IMPACT CAN YOU LIMIT ON PHASE TWO. TO ME IT'S JUST IMPACT SITUATION. HOW MUCH DENSITY ARE WE GOING TO CRAM FROM THE CENTER OF CITY TO THE VERY EDGE? AND THAT'S NOT SCHALL'S FAULT. BUT FOR ME AS A COUNCILMEMBER A AND THAT'S NOTY'ALL'S FAULT. BEFORE A COUNCILMEMBER, I CANNOT HAVE DENSITY FROM HERE TO THE CITY LIMITS SIGN.

WE SWORE BACK IN 2021, '19, WE NEVER DO ANYTHING UNDER 70-FOOT LOTS BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAD 9,000 LOTS ON THE GROUND THAT WERE 40S, 50S, 70S. AND WE STILL DON'T.

WE WERE CRAMMING THEM IN TOWN. NOT YOUR FAULT.

BUT SOMEONE HAS TO DRAW THE LINE IN THE SAND.

>> WE AREN'T DOING 80-FOOT LOTS. >> I KNOW.

>> BUT I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

>> I'M NOT ASKING TO GIVE 1 ACRE LOTS BUT I AM ASKING FOR US TO MAYBE FIGURE THIS OUT. THAT'S JUST MY TWO CENTS.

>> I ACKNOWLEDGE I WAS IN THE WORKSHOPS WE TALK ABOUT WANTING MIXED HOME USE. WE WERE A BIT IDEALISTIC AND WHAT WE THOUGHT THAT MEANT AND YOU PROBABLY HAVE A FAR BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACTS OF WHAT MAKES THAT WORK AND WHAT MAKES THAT FUNCTION. MUCH MORE THAN I DO OR DID.

I GET THE CONUNDRUM HERE. I AGREE WITH WHAT WAS SAID.

I CAN GET BEHIND THE 50-FOOT BUILDINGS.

I CAN GET BEHIND WHAT IS AN APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH A COUPLE OF BUILDINGS THAT HAVE SOME MIXED-USE IN IT.

I'D HATE TO SEND IT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.

BUT I'D BE OPEN TO DOING MORE COMMERCIAL OR EVEN TALK ABOUT SHORTER TOWNHOMES UPFRONT, SINGLE FAMILY BEHIND IT.

>> WHAT IS THIS DISTANCE HERE. >> IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT -- I WAS GOING TO SAY 1500 FEET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

>> WOULDN'T BE HALF A MILE DOWN. THE NEXT SECTION WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL ALL THE WAY BACK IN THE BACK.

[02:15:03]

>> I THINK THAT'S ALL THE WAY DOWN.

SO YOU ARE PROBABLY LOOKING AT MAYBE A MILE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'M GUESSING.

>> I UNDERSTAND. I'M JUST TRYING TO ENVISION MYSELF. WHAT GOT THE VISION COMING DOWN IS MR. RODGERS POINTING OUT THAT THE FIRST LINE AND SHE WOULD SEE IS THE FOUR STORIES OF 50 FEET. OF COURSE WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BACK OVER THERE IN THAT VACANT SPOT.

WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE.

>> THAT'S WHERE THE UNDERPASSES GOING TO BE TOO IN THE FUTURE.

AND THIS IS REGIONAL. YOU ARE GOING TO SEE SOME REALLY INTENSE STUFF WHEN YOU MOVE IN CARE.

IF IT GOES THE SAME WAY. >> IF IT CONTINUES TO DEVELOP.

>> I'LL PROBABLY BE DEAD AND GONE BY THEN.

BUT I COULD -- I DO NOT HAVE A BIG FIRM BETWEEN THREE OR FOUR STORIES BUT WHEN WE DO TALK -- I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

WE USE THIS A MONTH AGO. THAT'S WAY OFF ANY MAJOR TRYING TO ENVISION THIS PLACE. IT'D PROBABLY BE MORE ABRUPT.

EITHER WAY. >> SIMILAR TO THIS WITH THE BUILDINGS WHERE I TOOK THE PICTURE FROM THERE, THAT'S THE SAME DISTANCE FROM THE SERVICE FUTURE ROAD HERE TO THE FIRST BUILDING AND THAT'S HOW FAR BACK IT WAS.

>> I'M TRYING TO ENVISION THAT. I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID

EARLIER. >> THESE BUILDINGS WILL SIT BECAUSE WHERE THE LANES ARE IT'S GOING TO SIT WAY, WAY BACK.

YOU'VE GOT TWO ROWS OF PARKING IN THE BUILDING SETBACK IN THE LANDSCAPING AND A 30 TO 100 FEET OFF THE ROAD BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PARK. SO WHEN YOU ARE BACK THERE WITH THE BUILDINGS, THE BUILDINGS DO NOT LOOK IN HERE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO FIND ONE IN Y'ALL'S CITY AND THIS IS NOT THE BEST EXAMPLE BUT OVER BY THE CONVENTION CENTER THERE IS A FOUR STORY HOTEL AND IT SITS BACK OFF THE FREEWAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE A TWO-STORY BUILDING FROM THERE.

AND THAT'S THE KIND OF SAME THING YOU'LL SEE IS THAT IT'S GOING TO SIT SO FAR BACK IT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING NEXT TO IT WHEN YOU'RE ON THE FREEWAY GOING 75 MILES

PER HOUR. >> I THINK IT'S 55 MILES PER HOUR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT THEY DO GO 75.

I KNOW THAT. I RECOGNIZE THAT.

>> ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CHANGE THE SPEED LIMIT AND WHEN THEY DO THAT. BUT THE OTHER THING TO MENTION, I KNOW YOU ALL MENTIONED TRAFFIC TOO.

JUST LIKE WE DID IN THE FIRST PHASE.

WE EXTENDED THE SERVICE ROAD BACK AND SO WILL EXTEND THE SERVICE ROAD BACK AGAIN TO WHERE NOBODY IS GETTING DIRECT OF THE FREEWAY. THEY'LL GO TO THE CONTROLLED INTERSECTION AS WELL. IF THEY WANT GROWTH.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET OUT OF THIS.

THAT'S ALL BACK. IT'S THE FIRST OR SECOND THING.

YOU SEE THIS. SO FAR, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU WERE LOOKING UP AT IT. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.

>> ONE FOR STAFF. WHAT'S THE HEIGHT OF YOUR

TOWNHOME? >> THEY ARE TWO STORIES WHICH WITH THEGROUP. ABOUT 35 FEET AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. I'M GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO '07. THAT'S THE AIRPORT WITH THE PLAN THAT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG-STANDING FOR SOME WAY BACK.

WE REALLY NEVER BACKED OFF OF THAT.

THE COMMENT MENTIONED A MOMENT AGO THAT IF WE ARE BACKED OFF THE STORIES IN THE HIGHWAY. WE THINK, WELL, WE HAVEN'T DONE

[02:20:07]

BE A BUFFER. >> VERY RESPECTFUL FOR YOU NEED TO GET. LOOKING FOR A PLAN WITH DENSITY RELATIONSHIPS. I FEEL AS THOUGH LOOKING AT THIS LANDMASS, WE ARE SQUEEZING EVERY LAST INCH.

I'M LOOKING AT SOMETHING AND WE ARE DOING THAT, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO IT. BUT DOES THE PLAN REALLY KNOW THAT WE ARE DOING AT THIS POINT. WE GOT THIS MUCH FLOODPLAIN.

WE GOT EVERYTHING WE WANT. THE FOOT

FLOODPLAIN IS SOMETHING WEWANT. >> I DO NOT THINK THE FLOODPLAIN IS A PROBLEM. YOU TAKE THE OVERALL DENSITY --

>> OKAY. >> YOU ARE FLYING 50,000 FEET.

IT'S A GROSS DENSITY. TAKING IN CONSIDERATION OF THE ROAD SERVICES. YOU HAVE THE RUNNING THROUGH HERE. THOSE WERE NOT THERE.

NOT A PROBLEM HITTING 3.5. >> THE MIXED USED?

OKAY. >> MY POINT IS THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL AMENITIES BUT THEY ARE INTERRUPTING WHAT THE 50,000-FOOT VIEW, NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE FLOODPLAIN AT RANGE CAUSING REAL PROBLEM WITH IT. THAT'S ALL I WAS ASKING.

>> ANNA, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS?

>> MY QUESTION IS DO YOU WANT US TO MAKE A MOTION? I DON'T WANT TO DESIGN FROM UP HERE.

OR -- OKAY. NEVER MIND.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION OF DENIAL AT THE TABLE.

FROM COUNCILMAN RODGERS AND COUNCILWOMAN HAMMONDS.

ANY AMENDMENTS OFFERED? PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION TO DENY PASSES 5-2. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RENAMING RIDGEVIEW PARK LOCATED AT 750 WALTER STEPHENSON ROAD TO LINDA LIMBURG PARK IN ACCORDANCE WITH RESOLUTION ZERO ZERO THREE.

RENAMING PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES.

HEATHER, I PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. I WANTED TO HONOR THE FAMILY.

THEY BEEN PATIENT WAITING. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO AT OUR LAST PARK BOARD MEETING, I SHOULD START WITH SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM M TO RENAME RIDGEVIEW PARK TO, AND I HOPE I'M NOT SAYING THIS WRONG TO LET A LIMBURG WE HAD A PARK BOARD MEETING AND TO THE BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUSLY THAT THEY FELT LIKE THIS WAS A VERY FITTING NAME CHANGE FOR THIS AREA FOR THE BACKGROUND OF THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

IT DOES ALIGN WITH THE PARK NAMING POLICIES SO IT FITS FOR NAMING PARK SITES FOR PEOPLE AND THEN A PERSON'S NAME AND THERE IS ALSO CHANGING OF A PARK FACILITY NAME AND IT DOES GO IN LINE WITH THAT PORTION OF OUR ORDINANCE AS WELL.

SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND I ALSO

[02:25:03]

YOU LIVE IN THE CITY? >> 20 8:30 CLEARVIEW DRIVE IN LUBBOCK, TEXAS. MR. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, IN 1996 I SOLD THIS PROPERTY TO THE CITY AND I HAD A COUPLE OF STIPULATIONS THERE, IT WAS RIDGEWAY PARK AT THE TIME.

IT HAD BECOME RIDGEWOOD APARTMENTS RIDGEVIEWAPARTMENTS. I WAS TALKING WITH THE CITY MANAGER THEN AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A PARK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF T TOWN. AND I SAID, WELL, I'VE GOT SOME LAND I WAS GOING TO USE FOR ANOTHER APARTMENT BUT I'LL SELL IT TO THE CITY AND PUT THESE STIPULATIONS ON IT.

THEY DO PUT ON IT AND I SAID I'D LIKE TO HAVE IT NAMED AFTER MY MOTHER, LET DELL NOT LET A LETALUNDBERG. I WAS BUSY, I HAD A COUPLE OF COMPANIES I WAS WORKING ON ONE IN CE CEDAR HILL.

SO I JUST NEVER PAID MUCH ATTENTION TO IT UNTIL MAYBE 5-6 YEARS AGO. I LOOKED OVER AND I WENT, GOSH DANG, IT'S NAMED RIDGEVIEW PARK. I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NAMED AFTER MY MOTHER. ANYWAY I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THEM PARK.

AND MY FAMILY WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THE NAME CHANGED TO MY MOTHER'S NAME AND WE HAVE A BIG GROUP OF MOTHER'S RELATIVES STILL LIVING HERE. MY SISTER, MYSELF, MY BROTHER.

A LOT OF NIECES AND NEPHEWS AND THEY'VE ALL GONE TO SCHOOL TO MIDLOTHIAN HIGH SCHOOL. SO I'M HOPING THAT YOU COULD TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION TO DO THE NAME CHANGE.

>> YES, SIR. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

>> IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND COMING BACK UP.

THANK YOU, MR. LUNDBERG. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR

MR. LUNDBERG OR HEATHER? >> WHAT WAS THE PARKS BOARD'S

RECOMMENDATION? >> VOTED UNANIMOUSLY FOR THE

NAME CHANGE. >> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS REQUEST TO RENAME THE PARK TO LETA LUNDBERG PARK.

>> PLEASE VOTE. PASSES 7-0.

WE HOPE TO SEE THE ENTIRE FAMILY AT THE GRAND OPENING.

[2026-124 Conduct a public hearing and consider and act upon an ordinance amending the regulations relating to the use and development of 248.246+ acres out of the John Smith Survey, Abstract No. 971, the B.F. Cherry Survey, Abstract 1341, the Jourdan Powers Survey, Abstract No. 838, the Joe T. Powers Survey, Abstract No. 877, the Elbert Newton Survey, Abstract No. 971, and Lot 11X, Block G of Wind Ridge, Phase I, according to the Plat thereof recorded in Instrument No. 2213092 of the Plat Records of Ellis County, Texas; by changing the zoning from Agricultural (A) District to Planned Development District No. 187 (PD-187) for single family uses. The property is generally located on the north side of FM 1387 at Hayes Road. (Case No. Z29-2025-075).]

>> I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S PATIENCE.

WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO PUBLIC HEARINGS NOW AND OPEN UP ITEM 2026-124. THE USE OF DEVELOPMENT OF 248 ACRES OF PROPERTY IS GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH SIDE AT

HAYES ROAD. >> COUNCIL, MAYOR, ONCE AGAIN.

THIS IS FOR SOME PROPERTY NORTH OF 1397 ALONG HAYES ROAD.

THAT GENERAL AREA WE JUST DISCUSSED.

THIS IS CALLED RANCHO LAGO. THIS IS GOING FROM -- TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR SINGLE-FAMILY, FOUR USES.

THIS SITE HAS 600 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS ON 240 ACRES.

THE WEST ZONE WHICH IS THE AREA USED AS AN EXTENSION OF WIND

[02:30:03]

WE HAVE THREE, FOUR VOLUMES BASED ON THOSE FUTURE USE MODELS. AND THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 2.72 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. THIS IS JUST AN AREA.

I LOVE THIS AREA, THE CLASSIFICATION TO THE NORTH LOW DENSITY, THE MEETING DENSITY TO THE SOUTH OF LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL MODULE. AND YOU HAVE LOW DENSITY AND MEDIUM DENSITY MODELS OVER HERE. GOSH, EVER GET THAT ONE...

EVERYBODY IS FORGETTING. >> MASSEY MEADOWS.

>> THANK YOU. FOR REFRESH MY BRAIN.

THIS IS THE ZONING YOU SEE PETE SINGLE-FAMILY RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS I BELIEVE COMMERCIAL OR LOW-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND THIS IS AG ON THIS AREA. AND AS YOU SEE HAYES ROAD, THE 80-FOOT ARTERIAL HERE AND 138-7120-FOOT RIGHT AWAY RIGHT ALONG HERE. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR LAND USE PLAN. SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ALL RESIDENTS BY REQUIRING TRADITIONAL LOT DESIGN, TRANSITIONAL LOT DESIGN, LEVERAGE ZONING CASES TO PROVIDE AMENITIES AND SERVICES TO THESE AREAS.

THIS IS MORE DETAILED. THIS IS CONCEPT B.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF LAND RIDGE.

THIS IS THE WEST AREA AND THIS IS THE EAST AREA.

AND THIS IS APPROXIMATELY A 54-ACRE PARK WHICH WOULD BE IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THIS NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHICH WILL TALK IN MORE DETAIL ON HOW THAT IS PROGRAMMED ET CETERA AND BUILT. SO THESE ARE THE LOT STANDARDS.

TYPE A LOT, THE TOP A LOTS AND THE TYPE B LOTS IN THE WEST AREA -- I'M SORRY THE TYPE A LOTS ARE THE WEST AREA.

HERE ARE THE TYPE B LOTS. THIS IS A AND THIS IS B.

THERE WILL BE ARCHITECTURAL FRONTS, TWO HEIGHT PLATE VARIATIONS. THREE ADDITIONAL REBEL AND FOR THE ORDINANCE. THERE WILL FOUR SIDES OF EITHER HOUSE OR ALSO ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.

AND YOU'LL HAVE THE ENTRY PLAN AND THIS IS 1387.

THERE WILL BE DEVELOPMENT SIGNAGE WHICH IS RIGHT HERE AND THE ENHANCED PAVING AND SIDEWALKS AS WELL.

HERE IS A SCREEN PLAN. ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE BOTH OPAQUE FENCING ALONG THE MAJORITY OF THE OPEN SPACE AND ALONG 1387 YOU HAVE MASONRY LAWS WHERE YOU DO NOT HAVE STREETS WHERE THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF VOTING STREETS THAT FACE OUT ON 1387 AND THIS IS THE BUFFERING PLAN OR THE SCREENING PLAN THEY HAVE ALONG THE 1387. DECIDUOUS BIG HARD DOG TREES COME IN NEXT TO YARDS AND THE MASONRY WALLS.

THIS IS A MINI CENTER THAT WOULD BE RESTROOM AND POOL COMPONENT ENCLOSURE, OPEN LAWN. ON STREET PARKING, AS YOU CAN SEE, WITH SIDEWALKS IN THIS COMMUNITY CENTER WILL BE COMPLETE BY THE 201ST PERMIT IS ISSUED.

AND YOU'LL HAVE A POCKET PARK AND THIS IS THE POCKET PARK DESIGNED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HAYES ROAD'S.

5-FOOT MINIMUM. THE SIDEWALK, OPEN SPACE TRAIL IN THE POCKET PARK WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE 300 PERMIT BY THE EAST AREA. YOU HAVE POTENTIAL FOR BOTH OF THOSE AMENITY AREAS. THE CONNECTIVITY PLAN, HAYES ROAD AND I'LL HAVE 5-FOOT SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. AND THE ROAD AND THE SIDEWALKS BEFORE THE 200, WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.

BUT I THINK AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE ROADS IT'LL BE OUTSIDE OF ANY RIGHT AWAY THAT THEY DID. THE LOCAL STREETS, THE 50-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY'S WILL HAVE 50-FOOT SIDEWALKS ON ONE SIDE AND THEY ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR SIDEWALKS.

WHAT THEY ARE REQUESTING ON THESE 50-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY'S AND I'VE GOT AN EXAMPLE HERE IS A SIDEWALK ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE

[02:35:05]

SO THIS IS A CONNECTIVITY PLAN AS YOU SEE ON THE WEST SIDE.

YOU HAVE A LOT OF THESE WHICH HAVE SIDEWALK AND THE SIDEWALK DEPICTED HERE AND READ ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE LOT.

FOR INSTANCE ON THESE TWO STREETS YOU'LL HAVE A SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET BUT NOT ON THE SOUTH.

SAME ON THIS ONE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET BUT NOT ON THE SOUTH.

SAME HERE. YOU HAVE IT ON THE NORTH BUT NOT IN THE SOUTH AND HERE YOU HAVE IT ON THE SOUTH AND THAT'S JUST HOW THE CONNECTIVITY PLAN IS THROUGHOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THAT DOES REQUIRE A VARIANCE FROM OUR SUBDIVISION.

WE DID MAIL OUT 72 POSTCARDS WITHIN 200 FEET.

ONE SIGN WAS POSTED ON THE SITE AND NOTICE WAS POSTED IN THE MIRROR MARCH 14TH. MARCH 28 AND APRIL 18TH.

TODAY STAFF IS NOT RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. WE DID RECEIVE APPROVAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. RANCHO LAGO, AND CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN GOALS AND STRATEGY AND ACTIONS BY THE STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT THE VARIANCE REQUEST FOR SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET. RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO 5-1 WITH THE CONDITION THAT SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS BE LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREETS. WITH THAT I WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. I KNOW THERE IS I'M SURE SOMEBODY HAS A PRESENTATION BACK THERE.

I'M NOT SURE. >> IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON

THIS CASE OUTSIDE THE APPLICANT? >> YES.

KELLY

>> WELCOME. COME ON UP.

IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND THE MICROPHONE FOR THE RECORD,

WHETHER YOU LIVE IN CITY LIMITS. >> I HAD PROCEDURE TODAY SO I KNEW HAD TO COME. A LITTLE NERVOUS.

I THINK THE WEATHER DETRACTED A LOT OF PEOPLE SO I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD BE HERE VOICING THEIR OPPOSITION.

IF WE COULD HAVE A CONTINUANCE THAT WOULD BE GREAT BUT THAT'S NOT MY DECISION. I LIVE IN TWIN CREEKS.

I'VE PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER. I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED 248-ACRE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT NOT BECAUSE I OPPOSE GROWTH BUT BECAUSE I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN CONSIDERED WITHOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO SUPPORT IT SAFELY. CURRENTLY A TWO LANE ROAD THAT IS ALREADY OVERBURDENED. MANY OF US WHO DRIVE IT EVERY DAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT CONGESTION ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK HOURS TO AND FROM SCHOOL, EVENING, WORK, ALL THAT FUN STUFF. THERE ARE LONG DELAYS.

LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES TO PASS AND SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN TURNING ONTO AND OFF THE ROADWAY. NOW WE HAVE TOM THUMB AS WELL IN THE MIX. ADDING A LARGE-SCALE REGIMENTAL DEVELOPMENT TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL ADD TO THE CURRENT DEMAND FOR THIS IS NOT A FUTURE PROBLEM THIS IS A CURRENT PROBLEM THAT WILL MAKE THINGS WORSE. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS SAFETY.

INCREASED CONGESTION LEADS TO MORE ACCIDENTS AND GREATER RISK FOR FAMILIES, SCHOOL TRAFFIC -- DON'T GET ME STARTED ON STUDENTS TRYING TO GET OUT TO SCHOOL. I'VE SEEN ENOUGH OF IT.

I CAN GIVE YOU VIDEOS. AND DAILY COMMUTERS.

APPROVING A DEVELOPING OF THIS SIZE WITHOUT A CLEAR FUNDED PLAN TO IMPROVE FM 1387 PUTS EXISTING RESIDENTS AT RISK.

IT'S VERY APPARENT. EI URGE MIDLOTHIAN PLANNING TO REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE MOVING FORWARD.

A COMPREHENSIVE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS THAT REFLECTS FULL BUILDOUT CONDITIONS. TALKING ABOUT 600 COMBS, 1200 VEHICLES AT A MINIMUM INCREASING THE CONGESTION ON THAT ROAD.

AND OF PHASE DEVELOP AN APPROACH THAT TIES OCCUPANCY TO COMPLETED INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. GROWTH IS INEVITABLE BUT RESPONSIBLE GROWTH REQUIRES THE INFRASTRUCTURE KEEP PACE.

RIGHT NOW THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU DENIED THIS PROJECT UNTIL CONDITIONS ARE MET AND I HEARD BEFORE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO SQUEEZE EVERYTHING OUT OF THIS AND WE HAVE TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND. I THINK WE HAVE TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THE ROAD IS NOT ACCOMMODATING FOR 600 MORE HOUSES FOR ALL THE TRAFFIC THAT IS ON THERE. THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS CURRENTLY

[02:40:04]

APPROVAL WITHOUT IMPROVEMENTS IT IS RESPONSIBLE.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> I REQUEST A CONTINUANCE.

200 FEET, I CALLED SOMEBODY ON THE SITE EXPRESSING MY CONCERN SO I'VE ALREADY CAN MITIGATE IT TO SOMEBODY IN PLANNING WHOEVER THE PLANNING MANAGER WAS. 200 FEET IS NOT ENOUGH.

I KNOW YOU'LL GET A LOT OF FEEDBACK.

IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH TO GET PUBLIC OPINION.

>> THAT'S THE STATE LAW. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

>> I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THOSE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT.

SHE IS RIGHT. 1387, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO BE DONE, BUT PER THIS ORDINANCE, THE EASTBOUND LEFT TURN RAIN AND THE WEST FOUND DECELERATION LANE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ALONGSIDE 1387 AT HAYES ROAD. THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY WILL BE THE DEVELOPER FOR THIS. AND A TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS ALSO RECOMMENDED AT HAYES ROAD AND HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED BY TECH TES

D.O.T. >> IT IS A STATE RUN FACILITY.

>> ARE THE APPLICANTS HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION? YOU ARE WELCOME.

I APOLOGIZE BEER THERE IS ONE MORE PUBLIC SPEAKER.

TWO MORE PUBLIC SPEAKERS. WELCOME.

IF YOU COME UP PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN THE MICROPHONE AND STATE IF YOU LIVE IN THE CITY LIMITS AND YOU HAVE 3 MINUTES.

>> I DO LIVE IN CITY LIMITS. I MOVED HERE TEN YEARS AGO AND 1387 WAS DECENT PER SE. I LIVED IN MAN'S BILL.

EVERYTHING THEY SAID CAME TRUE AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE PRINT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO YOU HAD OPENED THAT BUILDING UP AND I SAID SOMEONE GOT SMART IN THE GOVERNMENT.

MOST PEOPLE LIVE OFF THAT ROAD. AND YET ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DISAPPEARED. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA.

I TIMED IT. I WORK IN DALLAS.

HALF THE TIME FROM MY HOME TO DALLAS? IT'S BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF WHERE? 1387. I HAVE SEEN AND LOOKED AT DISTANCES HALF A MILE BACKUP. YOU ARE ADDING 600 HOMES? I COULDN'T OF DONE IT BETTER TO HER.

YOU EXPECT MUCH MORE TRAFFIC THERE.

IT'S NOT THE LIGHT. I HAVE A TRUCK.

I CAN SWING OUT THERE AND RACE ARE ALL THE CARS.

THE SECOND YOU ARE ON THE ROAD YOU ARE SITTING THERE.

IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE EVERYONE CAN DRIVE 50 MILES AN HOUR AND YOU ARE ON A ONE LANE ROAD. ON THE OTHER ROADS YOU HAVE 45 WHICH NEVER MADE SENSE TO ME. AGAIN YOU ARE BUILDING MORE HOUSING, IT'S NOT EVEN BEING WIDENED.

I LOVE THE NEW STORE THERE. BUT THAT ADDS MORE TRAFFIC.

TOOK ME 5 MINUTES TO GET OUT OF THAT STORE BECAUSE, WHAT? YOU ARE FIGHTING OVER PEOPLE TRYING TO LET YOU THROUGH.

THIS IS THE THING. GROWTH IS FINE.

BUILD OUT. IF NOT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE PACKED ROADS AND YOU'LL SAY, LET'S WIDEN IT NOW AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, CLOSE ROAD EVERYONE IS LIVING ON? THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN WHERE YOU EXPAND IT, DEVELOP IT OUT BEFORE YOU START. THOSE ROADS NEED TO BE WIDE AND DEFERRED SAFETY. THE SCHOOL ISSUE, THAT'S AN ISSUE EVERY DAY. TEN YEARS OF DRIVING EVERY SINGLE DAY IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. AS A TRAFFIC ISSUE AND IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER. THE FACT THAT THEY WIDENED -- WHAT IS THAT -- RIGHT! I MOVED WHEN THAT ROAD WAS A SINGLE ROAD AND IT WAS A JUNK ROAD.

THEY WIDENED IT AND THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC! YOU ARE SAYING LET'S BUILD MORE HOMES.

THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT REALLY. THAT WOULD BE A GREAT ASSET.

MAKES MY PROPERTY BETTER. IT'S THE FACT YOU ARE ADDING THAT MORE HOMES, THAT ONE MORE TRAFFIC TO A ROUTE THAT IS NOT BUILT FOR IT. IT'S LIKE TAKING ALL THESE ARTERIES INTO WHAT YOU THINK IS A SMALL LITTLE VAIN.

IT'S A MAJOR ARTERY. THAT IS A MAJOR STREET.

IT HAS TO BE WIDENED BEFORE ALL THESE PLANS HAPPEN.

LIKE I SAID, GROWTH IS GREAT. BUT DON'T BE MANSFIELD.

THEY THREW IT OUT HERE. >> COME ON UP.

>> IF YOU DON'T MIND, STATE YOUR NAME IN THE RECORD.

YOU HAVE 3 MINUTES AS WELL. >> PHILIP WEAVER.

[02:45:05]

NOW BEING RENAMED RANCHO LAGO. WE'VE ENJOYED THE 200 ACRES AS OUR HOME FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS. DURING THAT TIME THE RANCH HAS SERVED AS A LONGHORN CATTLE RANCH, CHRISTMAS TREE FARM AND A PLACE WHERE WE'VE ENJOYED RECREATIONAL BOATING AND FISHING AND GATHERING AROUND FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

I AM NOW 85 YEARS OLD. IT'S TIME TO SELL THE RANCH.

I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE PEOPLE ENJOYING THE LAND THAT I CALLED HOME. THE NEW HOUSING AND PUBLIC PARK WILL GIVE OTHERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPRECIATE WHAT I HAVE CHERISHED. I CHOSE BLOOMFIELD HOMES TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY. I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR INTEGRITY AND TRUST THE DEVELOPMENT OF JUST ACROSS THE LAKE.

I KNOW THEY ARE RAPID OLD COMPANY WITH BRIGHT AND CARING PEOPLE AT THE HELM. RANCHO LAGO WILL SERVE THIS COMMUNITY WELL. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS, MR. WEAVER.

ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? OKAY.

THANK YOU. THE APPLICANT WANTS TO COME OUT AND MAKE A PRESENTATION -- I FEEL LIKE WE ARE ALL WELL VERSED AND THEY GIVE A VERY THOROUGH PRESENTATION.

>> THE SHORT VERSION. THE CONCERNS REGARDING TRAFFIC.

IN MIND WE GET TO A PRESE PRESENTATION.

>> THERE AGO. AARON DUNCAN WITH MESA DESIGN GROUP ON THE LANDSCAPE PARK CENTER, WORKING WITH BLOOMFIELD HOMES AND WE'VE MET WITH YOU A LOT.

THIS PLAN TONIGHT IT'S Y'ALL'S FINGERS, YOUR FEEDBACK, MULTIPLE MEETINGS ON THE PARK WITH MR. ADAMS ON TRANSPORTATION WHICH IS DEFINITELY A COMPONENT WE ARE WORKING THROUGH.

LET ME LASER IN THAT. WITH 600 LOTS, 93 OF THOSE LOTS ACTUALLY INVOLVE RICH PHASE TO GO.

THAT ZONING AND PROJECT ALREADY PLATTED INTO THIS.

WE WANT TO DO THE ROAD INTRODUCTIONS AND TIED BRIDGEWATER TO HAYES. THE NET ADDITION IS 503 ADDITIONAL LOTS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE Y'ALL UNDERSTOOD THAT COMPONENT OF IT AS WELL.

OBVIOUSLY WHAT WE LOOKED AT FOR THE OPEN SPACE TO THE MASTER PLAN HERE HONING IN ON THE MASTER LIST WITH 1387.

WE CANNOT CONTROL 1387 AND WE WORK WITH MR. ADAMS TO GET THIS PLAN TO WORK. TURNS OUT IT DOES HAVE A STRAT.

WE HAVE INCORPORATED A SCHEMATIC OF WHERE THAT FUTURE RIGHT-OF-WAY WOULD GO. WE'VE ADDED THOSE DECELERATION LANES INTO THE PROJECT. WE'VE DONE WHAT WE CAN TO CONTROL 387. BUT WHAT WE'VE ALSO FOCUSED ON IS THE HAYES ROAD COMPONENT AND WHEN WE DO THIS DEVELOPMENT, THE IDEA IS THAT WE JUMP TO THE PHASE OF THE COMPONENT.

WHERE THIS IS GOING TO LOOK AT IS WHEN PHASE TWO IS THIS COMPONENT, THIS WILL BE THE FOCUS FOCUS OF THIS PROJECT IS THE EXTENSION OF WIND RIDGE. IT'LL REALLY BE THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PROJECT AND THAT'LL ALLEVIATE A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS WITH WHAT WE CAN CONTROL.

WE CAN'T CONTROL 1387. BUT THAT IDEA IS IT'S GOING TO BE JAILED RESIDENTIAL ON THE EAST SIDE IT'S GOING TO BE STARTING THEIR RATING HAYES ROAD BUILT.

THAT WAY YOU HAVE THE SUPPORT AND BY THAT TIME WILL HAVE 1387 BUILT. BUT WE CAN'T CONTROL THAT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO FOCUS FROM OUR PHASING.

TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE NORTHWEST PART TO ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC FROM 1387 UP TO MOCKINGBIRD. SO A COUPLE OF OTHER COMPONENTS.

I KNOW THAT WE ARE SHOWING A ROAD STUB ON EMILY PORT.

WE DO NOT NEED THE ROAD STUB. THAT'S SOMETHING ABOUT CONNECTIVITY AND HAVING EVERYBODY CONNECTED.

WE KNEW THAT WOULD BE A CONCERN IF THE RESIDENTS DID NOT WANT THAT CONNECTION. YOU ARE GOING TO WORK WITH THIS FIRE MARSHAL, OKAY JUST ABOUT PUTTING A BOX ON TO CONTROL

[02:50:03]

I'VE GIVEN THIS PRESENTATION TO DO IT THROUGH THE 30 SLIDES.

>> DOING Q&A AS WE RISE BUT I DID FORGET TO CLOSE COUNSEL DOWN THE PUBLIC HEARING, SO COUNCIL MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSES 7-0. BEFORE WE GO TO Q&A WITH YOU AS APPLICANT I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO ADDRESS THE IMPACT OF WHAT OPENING UP HAYES ROAD ALL THE WAY TO MOCKINGBIRD TO ALLEVIATE THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS AND WE ARE ALL VERY AWARE OF.

WE CAN DO FROM THE CITY SIDE WITH THIS DEVELOPER, WHAT THE IMPACT OF HAYES ROAD WILL BE ON ALLEVIATING TRAFFIC CONCERNS.

>> THANK YOU MAYOR. >> ONE OF THE THINGS LOOKING IN WITH THE ULTIMATE SECTION OF HAYES ROAD WHICH IS THE FOUR LANE UNDIVIDED ROADWAY. YOU HAVE FOUR LANES TO THE NORTH IN THE SEGMENT AND HAVE TO DRAIN THE STRUCTURE WHICH IS BUILT TO THE NORTH AS WELL. PART OF MOCKINGBIRD.

AND THE INTENT WOULD BE TO ALLOW FOLKS BESIDES 1387 ANOTHER EAST-WEST ROUTE. WE CURRENTLY ARE WORKING ON THE LOCATIONS ON MOCKINGBIRD FROM MIDDLETON PARKWAY.

WE ALSO BECAUSE MOCKINGBIRD IS OURS WE CAN DO A PROJECT BASED ON NEW COUNSEL DIRECTION AND MAY BE A BOND PROJECT TO GO ALL THE WAY THERE SO WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE EAST-WEST CORE DOOR AND WE CONTROL THAT SIDE.

THAT WOULD BE A TIMING STANDPOINT THE CITY WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO. TXDOT IT'S PLENTY TO DO THE SIGNAL AND THERE WILL BE LEFT BURN TURN TURN LANE. THAT THROUGH LANE WOULD ALSO FILE FOR AN EASTBOUND LEFT TURN LANE TO GO NORTHBOUND AS WELL.

IT'LL BE TO TRY TO RELIEVE SOME OTHER CONGESTION AND TRAFFIC ON 1387 AS IT WAS DISCUSSED TILL ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND FOUND OUT THAT 1387 IS NOT ON THE RADAR.

IT'S MOVING PRETTY QUICKLY. WE NEED TO GET OUR UTILITIES RELOCATED BY A CERTAIN DATE AND THAT HAS CHANGED NOW.

WHAT HAS CAUSED THAT THE CHANGE? MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S FROM A

FUNDING STANDPOINT. >> THE OPENING OF OPENING UP HAYES ROAD ALL THE WAY TO MOCKINGBIRD WE'VE GIVEN ANOTHER ROUTE FOR PEOPLE TO ALLEVIATE THE TRAFFIC INCIDENT TOWARDS

HIGHWAY 67? >> YES, SIR.

[02:55:06]

>> JUST AS A STATEMENT I ALWAYS QUESTION ADDING UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAD A RESIDENCE, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HAYES ROAD FOR MANY YEARS. WE KNOW NOW THAT TXDOT IS NOT GOING TO ACT UNTIL WE GET CLOSER TO 2030.

THEY WERE AROUND 2027. WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE. I KNOW I'VE EVEN SAT IN MEETINGS AND ASKED FOR OLD-STYLE STOP LIGHTS WHICH ARE TELEPHONE POLES EACH SIDE OF THE ROAD HANGING OVER JUST TO GIVE TRAFFIC ANYTHING AND THEY WON'T DO IT. I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET WITHOUT THIS. THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE FROM LIVING HERE OVER 40 YEARS BUT YOU'VE EITHER GOT TO GO DOWN AND TRAVEL UP OR YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT TO ONE OF ROAD.

I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU'RE GOING GOING TO GET OUT OF THERE.

THIS TO ME IS A MAJOR ARTERIAL GOING TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH WHICH IS NEEDED BETWEEN BRYSON AND WALNUT GROVE TO GET TRAFFIC RELIEF. IT'S GOING TO HIT MOCKINGBIRD AND GET YOUR WAY OUT OF IT. I ALSO THINK THAT THIS WILL PROJECT AS LETA MENTIONED MOVING ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT AS TXDOT MENTIONED. I LIKE THE LAYOUT OF THE 3-5 AND THE SEVEN PLUS. I THINK FROM A GIFT TO ALLEVIATE SOME TRAFFIC PROBLEMS THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE HEARD THROUGH THAT REGION AND NOT HAVE TO SIT AROUND AND WAIT ON TXDOT THAT'LL BE UNTIL 2030. I THOUGHT I'D MAKE THAT QUICK

STATEMENT. >> COUNCIL, HAS ANYBODY HAVE

QUESTIONS FOR THAT FIRST HALF? >> OUR CURRENT PROJECT GOES FROM MIDLOTHIAN PARKWAY TO ONE OF ROAD, RIGHT? AND WHAT WOULD A FULL BUILD OUT OF THAT BE?

>> YES, SIR. THAT WOULD BE A 90-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY SO IT'LL BE FOUR LANE DIVIDED.

WE ARE CURRENTLY BUILDING ALL FOUR LANES BUT WE ARE BUILDING A

PORTION OF THAT. >> THAT WILL BE CONCRETE --

>> YES, SIR. THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS.

WILL TRY TO DO FULL INTERSECTIONS AS WELL.

YOU GET A LOT OF CAPACITY AND GETTING A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

>> THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES.

I KNOW WE'VE MEASURED SOME OF THOSE.

THAT CHOKE POINT OF ONE OF ROAD IN 1387.

THERE'S REALLY NO NO OTHER WAY UNLESS YOU COME BACK TO GET AROUND ANOTHER DIRECTION. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET DOWN TO 287 OR EVEN BACK TO 67.

I THINK COUNCILMAN ROGERS IS VERY APT THAT THIS CREATES A SECONDARY POINT SO NOT ALL OF THAT TRAFFIC HAS TO FUNNEL

THROUGH THAT ONE INTERSECTION. >> A REQUEST HAS BEEN MADE OF TXDOT TO LOOK AT 1387 AND SEE IF THEY CAN DO A BREAKOUT PROJECT SO YOU HAVE THE FULL INTERCEPTION SO YOU CAN HAVE ALL FOUR OR FIVE LANES AT THE INTERCEPTION COMPLETELY DONE AND THAT'LL HELP OUT TO RELIEVE THE INTERCEPTION.

COUNCILMAN ROGERS, THE SIGNAL IS ALREADY WARRANTED.

SO THAT DESIGN IS COMPLETED AND CONSTRUCTION WILL BE COMPLETED

NEXT YEAR. >> THAT'S HAPPENING

REGARDLESS -- >> REGARDLESS OF THE PROJECT.

>> THANK YOU, MIKE. >> I JUST WANTED TO ADD TOO JUST TO CLARIFY FROM OUR LAST MEETING AT TXDOT THIS SEGMENT IS NO LONGER EVEN ON THEIR 10-YEAR PLAN.

BUT ONE THING THE DEVELOPER MENTIONED CUTTING OFF THE STREET TO EMILY COURT. PLANNERS ALWAYS TALK ABOUT CONNECTIVITY AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT.

BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN LONG BRANCH CAN GET TO WALNUT ROAD WITHOUT HAVING TO HIT 1387. ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE ROADS DOWN MOCKINGBIRD, ALL THE NEIGHBORS DOWN CAN GET TO LONGBRANCH ELEMENTARY. THE SMALL CONNECTIONS, IT'S NOT GOING TO SOLVE ALL OF OUR ISSUES BUT WHEN PEOPLE PROPOSE CUT OFF STREETS THAT DIRECTLY CONNECT? THAT FORCES EVERY BODY.

IF WE WERE TO DO THAT THAT WOULD FORCE EVERYBODY FOR THESE SMALL TRIPS, THIS WAY ONE SIDE IS DONE YOU CAN GO FROM LONGBRANCH TO TOM THUMB WITHOUT HITTING 1387. IT'S VERY SMALL AND IT DOESN'T SOLVE MUCH. BUT I THINK -- YEAH.

[03:00:05]

NEIGHBORHOODS. >> I AGREE COMPLETELY.

I KNOW THE FOLKS THAT HAVE BENEFITED FROM THAT STUB OUT FOR EXTRA PARKING OR BASKETBALL IN COURTS OR WHATEVER HAVE HAD THAT WONDERFUL BENEFIT FOR A LONG TIME.

THERE WASN'T A CUL-DE-SAC THERE AND THERE WERE BARRICADES IN THE ROAD BECAUSE THE INTENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SINCE THAT REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IT WOULD CONNECT TO PROVIDE THAT BENEFIT THAT YOU DESCRIBE. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT AS IT RELATES TO THIS SINGLE LOADED SIDEWALKS.

I'M NOT NECESSARILY OPPOSED TO THE CONCEPT.

BUT TO ME IF YOU ARE GOING TO MOVE IT TO HAVE A SIDEWALK ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET MAKING IT 1 FOOT BIGGER, IF YOU CAN MOVE INTO THAT 8-FOOT OR 10-FOOT COME UP THE PROMENADE STYLE ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET I THINK I CAN GET BEHIND THAT.

THINKING ABOUT PEOPLE GOING BOTH DIRECTIONS.

YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY IN THE WHEELCHAIR OR SOMEBODY WALKING THREE DOGS AND THEY'LL CROSS THE STREET SOMETIMES IF THEY ARE NOT CHOKING DOWN. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU GUYS ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT WHEN IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE IT BIGGER.

>> DOING A GOOD JOB. THE SIDEWALKS THAT WE PUT OUT BECAUSE WE'D BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SUCCESS WITH IT IN OTHER PLACES. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO PREFER TO HAVE IT OR NOT HAVE IT. TO ME IT'S MORE ABOUT FUNCTIONALITY AND AESTHETICS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE CHALLENGING A LOT IS WE WANT SETTING THAT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT AND WE DO NOT WANT SOMETHING THAT LOOKS COOKIE-CUTTER. IF YOU GO THROUGH A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOODS YOU'LL SEE A TRAIL SYSTEM, SOMETIMES THEY GOT GOLF CARTS ON IT OR WHATEVER. IT'S A TRAIL SYSTEM.

IT'S NOT SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES.

WITHIN 6 FEET AND I'LL THROW IT IF IT'S WIDE ENOUGH FOR TWO PEOPLE TO BE SIDE BY HOLD HANDS INSTEAD OF ONE BY THE OTHER.

WE SEE TRAILS OR CONNECTIVITY AS KIND OF LIKE STREET PLANS.

YOU'VE GOT CONNECTORS, ARTERIALS.

THOROUGH FAIRS. THIS IS GOT THE 10-FOOT THAT'S ON THE CITY'S TRAIL PLAN GOING TO RUN NORTH AND SOUTH, I THINK LONG-TERM. ON THE INTERIOR BLOCKS, THE GOAL IS TO GET PEOPLE THROUGH THAT TRAIL INTO THE OPEN SPACE AS SMOOTH AS WE CAN AND AS QUICK AS WE CAN.

THAT'S KIND OF THE THOUGHT BEHIND CONNECTIVITY.

AS LONG AS YOU DON'T KILL IT FOR US.

6 FEET ON ONE SIDE I DO NOT THINK PEOPLE NECESSARILY WANT TO HAVE IT ALL THROUGH THIS EIGHT OR 10 FEET IN THE FRONT YARD I THINK PEOPLE ARE COMFORTABLE. THE KIDS CAN GET RIGHT ON THE SIDEWALK AND WHAT WE SEE IS WE CHOOSE ONE OF THE OTHER.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO GOT REALLY UPSET WHEN PEOPLE WALK THE DOG AND THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE YOU LOVE AND THE FAMILY GOING TO GET RIGHT ON THE TRAIL AND HEAD OUT. THAT'S MY THOUGHT.

WE WILL DEFER TO WHAT YOU WANT. >> YOU GOT MORE?

>> THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION IS WE ARE DISCUSSING THE BRIDGEWATER DEVELOPMENT IS THE NONOPAQUE FENCING ALONG OPEN SPACE AREAS WHERE THERE ARE TRAILS DIRECTLY BEHIND LOTS.

I KNOW YOU HAD A PLAN FOR WHERE THOSE AREAS ARE FOR ONE OF THE

SLIDES. >> I GOT TO FIND IT.

>> WHAT'S MISLEADING IS A LOT OF THE OPEN SPACE HERE, THERE YOU GO. THE THICK RED.

SO I CALL IT THE GREENS FIND ON THE MIDDLE.

VERY HEAVILY TREED. THE TRAIL IS PORT PARALLEL TO THE CONTOUR SO IT FOLLOWS THE REGIONAL TRAIL THROUGH THE CORE DOOR. THERE WILL BE A TRAIL THAT GOES THROUGH HERE, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF VERTICAL SEPARATION.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE VERY HEAVILY TREED AND IT'LL BE A GREAT AMENITY. I HAVE LESS CONCERN HERE ABOUT THE GREEN SPACE BUT YOU ARE GOING TO BE NAVIGATING THROUGH NATURE AND NOT THROUGH THIS OPEN SPACE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT VISIBILITY WITH THE LOTS HERE. THE OTHER LOTS HERE BACKING UP TO THE CREEK. VERY HEAVILY TREED.

ONE AREA YOU COULD LOOK AT OUR THESE SLOTS HERE AND IT'LL BE THE PUBLIC PARK TO DO THOSE MORE AS A DEFENSIVE STEP BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROGRAM IS BUT YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO THE DESIGN PROGRESS BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE AN AREA THAT WE ALL HAVE THE

[03:05:03]

BUFFER. >> I THINK THAT'S REALLY IF YOU FLIP TO YOUR TRAIL MAP, EVEN ON THE NORTHERN SIDE WHERE YOU'VE GOT SOME LOTS, HAS A TRAIL THAT'S GOING BE RUNNING RIGHT BEHIND THOSE LOTS. ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME THAT THAT'S GOING BE SIGNIFICANT LEASE SEPARATED?

>> THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SLOPE.

THAT TRAIL BASICALLY FOLLOWS IT BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH SLOPE.

IT'LL BE HIGHER THAN THE TRAIL. THERE WILL BE A PRETTY DECENT

SLOPE THERE. >> THAT JUST A CONCERN.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE PARTS OF TOWN, THOSE ARE HIGHLY VISIBLE LOTS WITH BACKUPS IN THAT CORE DOOR THROUGH THE WALTER STEPHENSON CORE DOOR. AND THE FOLKS THERE HAVE BEAUTIFUL BACKDOORS. AND THERE ARE FOLKS THERE WHO DO NOT. WITH THAT TYPE OF FENCING, BOTH GET EXPOSED TO A HIGH VOLUME OF TRANSPARENCY AND SO I THINK TRYING TO ENSURE WE HAVE LOTS BACKING UP TO OPEN SPACE TO PROVIDE FOR THAT AESTHETIC BENEFIT TO THE HOMEOWNER BUT ALSO THE PRIVACY BENEFIT WHERE THERE IS SOME TYPE OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY OR TRAIL THAT'S RUNNING VERY CLOSE TO THOSE IS THE AREAS WHERE WE S SEE YOU CREATING UNINTENDED CONSE

CONSEQUENCES. >> SO IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT THERE IS A LOT BACK INTO THE TRAIL WITHIN 50 FEET THAT HAS THE OPTION OF THAT AND IT HAS TO BE CONSISTENT SO YOU DO NOT HAVE THE HODGEPODGE LOOK. THAT TRAIL, THAT IS OUR ALIGNMENT, BASED ON GRADING, THE FINAL DESIGN, THAT TRAIL COULD BE HORIZONTALLY IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION SO I THINK WE CAN BUILD SOMETHING THERE BACK UP WHERE THERE IS A TRAIL WITHIN 650 FEET WHERE IT'S EITHER SOLID WOOD FENCE OR A METAL FENCE.

HAS TO BE CONSISTENT IN THOSE SPOTS.

>> IF YOU ARE PUTTING BACK TO YOUR FENCE PLAN AGAIN, IN THE MIDDLE YOU HAVE A SMALL OPEN SPACE SLOT IN THE EAST AREA?

>> IT'S A LINEAR PARK. >> THAT'S ANOTHER AREA WHERE IT'S A LINEAR PARK AND RIGHT AWAY.

THAT'S ANOTHER VERY HIGHLY VISIBLE AREA AND THERE IS NO SAFETY CONCERNS BECAUSE THERE IS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT CREATES A LOT OF VISIBILITY. AGAIN, THAT IT BE AN AREA WHERE I'M GOING IS THAT REALLY A NECESSARY THING THERE? I THINK WE ARE CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A PROBLEM AND NOT REALLY PROVIDING MUCH IN THE WAY OF.

>> SAME THING WITH THAT. THE GOAL HERE IS A LINEAR CONNECTION WE GOT THE PARK AND THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME GREAT CHANGE IN THIS WILL BE HIGHER. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME THING. TO ME IT'S A GREAT THING IF YOUR TRAIL IS 6 FEET LOWER, THERE IS BILL A BIT I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PUT SOMETHING THERE, BUT I SIMPLY THINK THERE IS VALIDITY THERE AND YOU HAVE THIS OPTION AS WELL.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> ANYONE ELSE? I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I'M GOING TO REPEAT THE COMMENTS I MADE ON THE OTHER AGENDA ITEM WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, PLENTY OF PLANNING MEETINGS WHERE WE WANTED TO GROW LIKE A TREE.

AND YOU KNOW, TO THEIR DEFENSE, THEY ARE MATCHING LOT SIZE AROUND IT. SOME OF THE STUFF AROUND IT THERE'S AKER STUFF TO THE SOUTH. TAKE A STEP TO THE NORTH.

I FEEL LIKE WE ARE HITTING THAT THRESHOLD.

I KNOW IT'S A FUTURE LAND USE PLAN THAT CALLS FOR BUT ALSO CALLED IT ON TOWER WHICH I HAD THE LOTS THERE IS ALWAYS IS GIVE-AND-TAKE. I JUST THINK ONCE WE PASS WE HIT THE THRESHOLD WHERE IT NEEDS TO TRANSITION BACK WITH THE WATER

LOTS. >> I CAN'T GET BEHIND IT.

>> I DEAFLY UNDERSTAND WHERE CLARK IS COMING FROM ON THAT.

IT'S THE LONGBRANCH SUBDIVISION. IF YOU LOOK ALL THE WAY TO THE WEST BETWEEN MOCKINGBIRD ESPECIALLY WHERE WE HAVE THE ARTERIALS ONWARD, MIDLOTHIAN PARKWAY.

THAT KIND OF RECTANGULAR SEGMENT THAT COMES DOWN HERE TO WHERE LONGBRANCH SUBDIVISIONS EXIST IT IS THE BAND IN WHICH THIS TYPE OF DENSITY SHOULD OCCUR. BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE MAJOR

[03:10:01]

I DEFINITELY AGREE AS YOU GET FURTHER NORTH AND SOUTH FROM HERE THAT THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS AS IT RELATES TO NOT HAVING THE APPROPRIATE TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THE CITY CONTROLS TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT.

BUT THIS AREA FILLS IN THE GAP AND PROVIDES THAT MUCH NEEDED NORTH-SOUTH RELIEF ON HAYES ROAD THAT KIND OF COMPLETES THAT WHOLE SEGMENT IN THAT RECTANGULAR AREA.

SO I'M DEFINITELY SENSITIVE TO YOUR CONCERNS IN THAT REGARD.

BUT I THINK THIS IS AN AREA WHERE SCALE, DEVELOPMENT, AND THE OPEN SPACE, THE THOROUGHFARE CONNECTIVITY IS APPROPRIATE AND BENEFICIAL TO THE REGION. MORE SO THAN SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T ALLOW THAT SAME KIND OF CONNECTIVITY.

>> I FULLY AGREE. THANK GOODNESS WE HAVE A BOND FOR THAT. MY ONLY THING IS AND I'VE SAT UP HERE FOR -- I'M ON MY THIRD TERM SO I GET IT.

I LOOK BACK AND I THINK OF THE DECISIONS WE MADE IN THE PAST.

WE HAVE TAKEN HIGH DENSITY FROM THE CENTER OF TOWN TO 663, THE CITY LIMITS. THE CENTER OF TOWN TO THE EDGE, MAX DENSITY, EVERY HOUSE WE CAN PUT AND IF YOU TAKE IT FROM THE CENTER TO THE EAST, WE'VE PHASED OUT THE APARTMENT COMPLEX ALL THE WAY AROUND. IF YOU GO TO THE NORTH, THANK GOD WE DIDN'T RUN A SEWER LINE BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE DENSITY AND IT'S THE ONLY REASON BECAUSE THERE'S NO SEWER LINE. YOU GO EAST AND WE GO THE SAME EXACT THING AND THAT'S THE SAME THING I BROUGHT UP IN BRIDGEWATER. IT IS NOT THE DEVELOPERS FAULT OR THE LANDOWNER'S FAULT. IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT.

BUT AT SOME POINT YOU LOOK AT IT LIKE AN ENGINEER.

THE ENGINEER LOOKS AT THE PIECE OF PAPER AND SAYS THIS IS GREAT.

AND THE BUILDER GETS ON THE GROUND AND GOES WHAT THE HECK HECK IS THIS DUDE THINKING. TO ME I JUST THINK WE'VE HIT A POINT. MIKE WAS HERE AND RICHARD WAS HERE EARLIER. IN 2021 OR 2020, 2019, IT'S ALL A BLUR IT NOW. WE ALL SAT AROUND THE TABLE AND SAID WE WILL NOT MAKE 70-FOOT LOTS ANYMORE.

BUT WE ARE DOING IT. IT'S COUNSEL'S CHOICE IT'S COUNCIL'S CHOICE. DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME. WE'VE GOT TO STOP IT SOMEWHERE.

I'M NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY.

YOU SHOULD SELL AND DEVELOP IT. BUT AT WHAT POINT DO WE PHASE THE DENSITY BACK OUT TO THE DENSITY WE ARE AT? I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THAT. I'M NOT AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT.

I'M NOT AGAINST THE HOUSING. JUST THE DENSITY.

>> IF YOU LOOK AT OUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN IT'S MORE OF A WAGON WHEEL THAN IT IS A BULL'S-EYE.

RIGHT? THAT'S THE WAY THIS FUTURE LAND USE PLAN HAS BEEN STYLED FOR ALL OF MY ADULT LIFE THAT I'VE BEEN PART OF THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT UPDATES TO THE SAME THING.

WHEN YOU HAVE A MAJOR ARTERIAL, THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE INTENSE USES ALONG IT. IF YOU LOOK AT TXDOT'S ULTIMATE PLAN I MEAN, THAT'S GOING TO BE A SIX LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY.

THAT'S WHAT THE STATE SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE AT MAXIMUM BUILDOUT.

THAT CORE DOOR IS GOING TO HAVE MORE USES.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE ALONG THOSE INTENSIVE CORRIDORS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BE MAJOR PEOPLE MOVING CORRIDORS, THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF INCREASED DENSITY THERE SO THAT WE CAN PRESERVE ALL THE BALANCE OF OUR PROPERTY THAT WE'VE GOT IN COUNTRY MODELING, AS YOU GET FURTHER OUT FROM THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTS AND THOSE TRANSPORTATIONS.

THE ONLY REASON WE HAVEN'T DEVELOPED NORTH IS BECAUSE TWO CEMENT PLANS BORDER ARTS ARE GATEWAY TO THE NORTH THAT HAVE QUARRY AND BUFFER LANDS. WHETHER WE HAVE SEWER UP THERE OR NOT, THEY'VE GOT BUFFER RIGHTS TO ALL UP THERE.

I DO NOT THINK IT'S BUT FOR A LACK OF SEWER.

IT'S BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE THAT 67 CORE DOOR ALL THE WAY THROUGH TOWN THE SMALL PORTION THAT IS FROM NINTH STREET TO 287 IS AND HAS BEEN AND WILL BE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE INDUSTRIAL.

AND NOT JUST WAREHOUSE INDUSTRIAL.

LIKE REAL INDUSTRIAL WHERE WE ARE MELTING CARS COOKING LIMESTONE INTO CEMENT. AND THOSE THINGS PROVIDE A LOT FOR OUR COMMUNITY GOING UP HERE, A COMMUNITY OF OUR POPULATION SHOULD NEVER HAVE THE BENEFIT TO ENJOY BECAUSE OF THAT HUGE TAX BASE THEY PROVIDE. I FEEL LIKE IF YOU LOOK AT WHERE

[03:15:04]

AND HE PROVIDES CONNECTIVITY AND THEY'RE THOROUGHFARE CONNECTION TO PROVIDE UPPER OPPORTUNITIES TO MOVE ABOUT THAT REGION WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THAT SINGULAR POINT OF FAILURE RIGHT NOW WHICH IS WARNER GROVE AND 1387.

AND WE ARE APPROVED TO BUILD HALF BUT NOT THE OTHER HALF.

IN THE DEVELOPMENT WITH THEM POURING IN THEIR PORTION OF IT AS WELL ON THEIR SIDE OF THE CITY IS THE WAY IT IS.

AND THAT GETS US TO FOUR LANES FASTER ALL THE WAY FROM 1387 TO MOCKINGBIRD AND ALLOWS US TO CONNECT TO WALNUT GROVE.

>> ANNA? >> THE ONLY THING I'LL MENTION IS THE PARK IS A MAJOR DEAL TO ME.

SO CRAZY EXCITED ABOUT IT. THAT'S A BIG DEAL.

I CAN APPROVE THE PARK. HOWEVER ON THIS ONE, HAYES ROAD IN THE PARK OR MAJOR THINGS FOR ME.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW ABSOLUTELY HAPPY I AM THAT THE PHASING OF THE AMENITIES OFF OF THE PERMITTING, THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> NOT ONLY, I'M GOING TO AGREE WITH CLARK.

I WOULD ONLY SAY WITH THIS BEING MY LAST COUNCIL MEETING THAT COUNSEL HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE ALL THIS THAT COUNCIL HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE ALL OF THIS.

THE REASON WE ARE GETTING STUNNED A LITTLE BIT IS IF IT'S THE WRONG THING TO DO AND WE HAVE A DIFFERENT -- I KNOW WHERE WE SIT GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2011 AND WHAT OUR THOUGHT PROCESS OF HOW THE FLOW OF DENSITY WOULD HAVE ROLLED AND IT'S ALL OUT OF WHACK NOW THAT WE TO HAVE THE OLD THEORY OF WE HAVE THE NORTHEAST REGION AND BY THE TIME YOU GOT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 287 THAT'S WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE MORE DENSE.

BUT WE HAD THE 1387 ROLL OUT TOWARDS TWIN CREEKS WHICH WAS A REAL NICE SUBDIVISION OUT THAT WAY.

BUT ON THE NORTH SIDE YOU'VE GOT MASSEY AND YOU ROLL INTO ALL THE WAY INTO LONGBRANCH WHICH IS NOT THE SAME BUILDING EVALUATION BUT THE SAME LOT SIZE STYLE AND WHATNOT.

THIS IS A COPY OF THAT GOING THROUGH.

BUT CLARK, YOU ARE RIGHT. IF YOU REMEMBER WE ALWAYS THOUGHT WE GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 875 AND THAT'S WHAT I COULD WATCH. THAT'S WHEN WE HAD ALL THE COUNTRY MODULES. THAT'S HARD TO MAKE THAT WORK WITH DEVELOPMENT NOW. BUT THE LEAD COUNSEL DEL MAKES BEFORE WHEN I LEAVE, YOU'LL ALL SIT ON THIS REWRITE FOR YOUR ZONING AND ORDINANCE ROLE. BASED ON GROUPING ALL THAT TOGETHER AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK OUT.

I WON'T SAY YOU ARE CONTROLLING THAT.

BUT YOU GOT SOME INFLUENCE THERE AND THIS COUNCIL AT ANY TIME AMEND THE PLAN IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND MAKE CHANGES WHERE YOU ARE WISELY STATING AND RECOGNIZE WE ARE GETTING INTO STAMPS OF 3.5% HERE AND WE SIT HERE AND GO, WHY IS THAT? WELL, THAT'S WHAT THE PLAN SAYS. IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED MAINLY SO IF THE RESIDENTS WHICH THAT IS A LOT OF WHAT I'M GETTING AS FAR AS WHAT OUR PLAN SAYS THIS IS KIND OF IT.

WE DO NEED TO MAKE HAYES ROAD COMPLETE, I KNOW THAT.

>> OKAY. I THINK THAT THIS WORKS PRETTY GOOD. IS THERE ANY MOTIONS THIS

EVENING? >> ONLY TO APPROVE.

>> THE ONE TIME ON ONE SIDE? >> I DON'T HAVE A STRONG

PREFERENCE. >> STAFF IS RESENTING SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES. ARE YOU REPRI RECOMMENDING SIDES

ON THE OTHER SIDE? >> THAT'S A VALID QUESTION.

>> IT'S UP TO YOU. MAKE YOUR MOTION.

>> CAN WE HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THE SIDEWALKS BECAUSE THAT'S

WHERE I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING. >> I'D LIKE TO AMEND THAT WE

HAVE SIDEWALKS. >> DO YOU ACCEPT THAT AMENDMEN?

>> I'D ALSO LIKE TO OFFER A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT THAT LOTS

[03:20:06]

>> I'M VOTING TO APPROVE WHAT JUST SAID AND SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES. DO YOU GET THE PROCESS OF

AMENDMENT? >> I'M JUST ASKING THE QUESTION BASED ON CLARIFICATION. YOU CAN BE BASED ON EACH

PROPERTY OWNER. >> HAS TO BE.

NOT CAN BE. I APOLOGIZE.

>> WHERE THE GREAT SEPARATION IS LESS THAN 6 FEET.

WHEN THE TRAIL OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS IS WITHIN 50 FEET.

>> IS THAT CLEAR? THAT'S MY MOTION.

>> I'VE GOT IT WRITTEN DOWN. WHEN THE TRAIL OR RIGHT-OF-WAY IS WITHIN 50 FEET OF A NEW LOT LINE.

>> I SECOND THIS MOTION. >> THE SECOND SHALL BE OPAQUE IF IT'S SET GREATEST SEPARATED BY LESS THAN 50.

>> MOTION ON THE TABLE. THE SECOND BY COUNCILMAN RODGERS. PLEASE VOTE.

[2026-125 Consider and act upon a resolution of the City Council of the City of Midlothian, Texas, approving the terms and conditions of the development agreement between the City of Midlothian and Bloomfield Homes, L.P. for the development of ±248 acres of land located within the city limits, more commonly known as Rancho Lago; and providing for an effective date.]

BACK TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. 202-6125.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN APPROVING THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN AND BLOOMFIELD FOR THE DEVELOPING OF 248 ACRES LOCATED WITHIN CITY LIMITS KNOWN

AS RANCHO LAGO. >> DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?

>> IT'S THE CLIFFSNOTES VERSIONS.

>> IT'S ONLY A 70 PAGE ORDI ORDINANCE.

UNDER CHAPTER 372 -- I'M JUST KIDDING.

THIS IS WHAT WAS JUST APPROVED IN GENERAL.

WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS EVER SINCE THEY BROUGHT THIS TO THE WORKSHOP IS CHANGED FOR THE 54-ACRE PARK AND WE WOULD BUILD ALL FOUR LANES OF HAYES ROAD. THAT'S REALLY WEIRD BECAUSE WE TYPICALLY DO NOT BUILD THE DEVELOPER PORTION OF A ROAD.

BUT IN EXCHANGE FOR US BUILDING ALL FOUR LANES OF THIS THEY'LL SPEND NOT LESS THAN $3.3 MILLION ON THE PARK IN THE WAY THAT IS CALCULATED A THAT'S ABOUT $1.2 MILLION ON THE DEVELOPER FEES FOR THE PARK DEDICATION. AND AT LEAST ANOTHER 1.14 THE CURRENT ESTIMATED COSTS OF HAYES ROAD.

THE DEVELOPER PORTION PROVIDED THAT THE TOTAL COST SHALL BE DETERMINED AT COMPLETION OF THE HAYES ROAD IMPROVEMENT AND COMMUNITY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. AMENDMENT TO REFLECT THE FINAL COSTS OF THE HAYES ROAD DEVELOPER PORTION.

SO BASICALLY THESE ARE ALL ESTIMATES THAT ARE UP HERE.

ONCE WE GET THAT BIDS WILL NOW DOWN THE ACTUAL CAUSE AND THAT WILL PARLAY INTO THE ACTUAL COSTS THAT BLOOMFIELD WILL BE SPENDING ON THE 54 ACRES HERE. ALSO WE WILL BE PAYING FOR THIS BUT THE DEVELOPER WILL BE CONSTRUCTING IT.

SO WE ARE PAYING FOR IT. WE'LL GET PAYOUTS FROM THE DEVELOPER. AS THEY ARE CONSTRUCTING IT WE'LL BE PAYING FOR IT. THIS IS FOR A TOTAL OF FOUR LANES FROM THIS CONNECTION APPEAR AND I FORGET THAT IS JUST OUT OF MOCKINGBIRD ALL THE WAY TO 1387.

THAT IS THE CLIFFSNOTES. I WILL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS.

>> ARE WE DETERMINING HOW IT WORKS ON THE PARK? ARE WE DETERMINING HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT ON THE PARK?

>> YES. DONE IN CONJUNCTION.

THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS ALSO PROVIDING FOR IMPROVING THE DISTRICT AND THAT WILL BE RAISING ABOUT $30 MILLION TO FINANCE THOSE THINGS. AND THE PROJECTED ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LEVEL WHEN AGGREGATED WITH ALL THE OTHER TAXING AGENCIES IS TO POINT -- $2.90 PER $100 EVALUATION.

>> IS AT THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM? >> I THINK IT'S WITHIN THE

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. >> DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY

QUESTIONS ON THIS? >> I'M STILL RIDING SOMETHING FOR YOU

>> I'M STILL RIDING SOMETHING FOR YOU.

>> THIS IS VOTING ON THE PIT ALSO OR THE ROAD?

[03:25:02]

>> THE PIT AS WELL. BUT IT'S NOT THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THEY HAVE TO BRING BACK THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN TO DETERMINE EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE GOING TO SPEND THOSE MONIES WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT.

>> OKAY. >> I DO NOT KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO GO BUT I'LL MAKE MY OPINION NOW AND I SAID IT IN WORKSHOP. NOT AGAINST THE SUBDIVISION.

I JUST... WHEN YOU LOOK AT BRIDGEWATER AND WHAT THEY DO WITH THAT MONEY VERSUS WHAT THE AMENITIES WERE

ON THIS ONE? >> I WASN'T IN MD.

>> I DO NOT THINK IT GETS UP TO THAT.

AND LASTLY I THINK THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR OWN INFRAS

INFRASTRUCTURE. >> OKAY.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS CASE?

THIS MOTION. >> I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

THE PARK WOULD BE GIVEN TO THE CITY.

IT WILL BE MAINTAINED AFTERWARDS AND MY CLEAR ON THAT?

>> THEY WOULD BE PART OF CITY PROPERTY.

IT'S NOT HOA. IT'LL BE CITY PROPERTY.

>> MOTION ON IT? >> MOTION TO DENY.

>> MOTION TO DENY ON THE TABLE. >> SECOND.

>> MOTION TO DENY IT BY COUNCILMAN MOORMAN.

MOTION TO DENY FAILS 4-3. MOTION TO APPROVE BY COUNCILMAN HAMMONDS. SECOND?

>> SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN WEAVER.

PLEASE VOTE. MOTION TO APPROVE PASSES BY 5-2.

[2026-126 Consider and act upon a reimbursement agreement between the City of Midlothian and Bloomfield Homes, L.P. for the reimbursement of certain costs incurred related to the creation of a Public Improvement District.]

IMPROVEMENTS. >> I CAN BRING THAT WITH MEALS ALSO. WE'VE DONE THIS WITH ALL OUR SPECIAL DISTRICTS. THEY FUND A FUND FOR US.

BASICALLY THEY PUT IN $15,000 AT THE BEGINNING AND THEN THAT COVERS ALL OF OUR COSTS WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR, THEY HELP US OUT WITH POTENTIAL LEGAL COSTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AS WE WORK DOWN ON THAT FUND AND IT GETS BELOW $5,000 THEY HAVE TO REPLENISH THAT FUND BACK UP TO $15,000. BASICALLY THIS DOESN'T MAKE US PAY GENERAL TAXPAYER MONEY ON THIS DEVELOPMENT, THEY ARE FUNDING THIS DEVELOPMENT ON OUR COSTS AND FOR US, OUR ATTORNEYS, AND BOND CONSULTANTS, FINANCIAL ADVISORS AND ET CETERA.

>> ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? TAMMY?

YOU GOT A QUESTION. >> ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? THE MOTION TO APPROVE IS SECOND ON ACCOUNTS BY WEAVER.

[2026-128 Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to enter into negotiations with Waste Connections to execute a contract to provide Solid Waste and Recycling Services for the City of Midlothian.]

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER NEGOTIATIONS TO EXECUTE A CONS DOWN THE CONTRACT TO PROVIDE WASTES SERVICES.

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNCIL. I'LL BE BRIEF OR TRY TO BE.

THIS ITEM IS CONSIDERING A NEW CONTRACT WITH WASTE CONNECTIONS.

THIS CONTRACT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1ST WE ARE BRINGING IT IN A LITTLE EARLY BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE A CHANGE IN SERVICE AND NEW EQUIPMENT WILL HAVE TO BE PURCHASED. SO WE ARE TRYING TO GET THIS CONTRACT IN EFFECT SO WASTE CONNECTIONS WILL BE ABLE TO BUY THAT EQUIPMENT. THIS IS AN INITIAL TERM OF FIVE YEARS. WITH TWO FIVE-YEAR TERM EXTENSIONS. THE INITIAL TERM WILL AND 7:30 SLASH, 31 AND THE FIRST ATTACHMENT YOU HAVE IS THE CURRENT CONTRACT TO THIS NEW CONTRACT AND ALSO EXHIBIT A TO THE CONTRACT ALSO GOES THROUGH THOSE RATES.

THERE WILL BE SOME RATE INCREASES THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS. THOSE PRIMARILY HAVE TO DO WITH INCREASED COSTS OF BUSINESS. BUT ALSO THIS CHANGE IN SERVICE THAT WE'LL HAVE PARTICULARLY WILL IMPACT THE RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS AND WE'LL GO TO AUTOMATED CART FOR BOTH TRASH AND RECYCLE PICKUP. THOSE WILL BE 95-GALLON FOR BOTH

[03:30:04]

THERE IS ALSO SPECIAL AGREEMENT THAT THE SENIORS AND DISABLED CAN HAVE SPECIAL PICKUP ASSISTEDS AND I'VE KNOWN HISTORICALLY THAT'S BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SOME OF THE RESIDENTS.

THE SECOND ATTACHMENT TO THE AGENDA ITEM IS THE CONTRACT ITSELF. AND THAT TALKS ABOUT THAT.

THE RESIDENTIAL TRASH WILL STILL BE PICKED UP TWO TIMES WEEKLY.

ALL THE TRASH IN THIS SIDE OF THE CARTS AND THERE ARE SOME SPECIAL ABILITY TO DO ADDITIONAL PICKUP BEYOND THE CARD ITSELF.

THE CARTS HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE TRASH IN THEM AND RECYCLE WILL BE PICKED UP TWO TIMES MONTHLY AND THIS DOES PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL REPORTING OR ENHANCED REPORTING FOR THE CITY THAT WILL HELP US TRACK THE SERVICE. BUT I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY

QUESTIONS. >> WHAT ABOUT BULK?

>> THE BULK WILL STAY THE SAME. THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME SIZE -- I SHOULD REMEMBER. I'VE LIVED THERE.

IS IT 3-FOOT BY -- YEAH. IT CAN JUST BE PUT OUT ON THE CURB SO IT'LL BE PICKED UP LIKE IT HAS BEEN.

THE PINK TAGS, I WAS TRYING TO SKIM QUICK.

BUT YES. IF YOU CANNOT FIT EVERYTHING INSIDE YOUR CART, THEN THERE ARE PINK TAGS THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE FROM UTILITY BILLING AND THEY CAN PUT ON THE BAGS IN THE BAGS CAN BE PUT ON BESIDE THE CART. THAT WILL ALLEVIATE FOR HOLIDAYS AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF TRASH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR AN EXTRA CART. YOU JUST PUT THOSE BAGS OUT.

AND I KNOW WE HAVEN'T DECIDED ON A PRICE FOR THE PINK TAGS AND IF THEY ARE ALL BEING IN THE RECTORY.

FOR THOSE TO BE FREE. I KNOW THAT WAS NOTHING THAT WAS DISCUSSED WHEN WE HAD OUR WORKSHOPS.

>> SOMEBODY WANTS MORE THAN ONE CART, THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO

PAY, YES. >> I WANT TO EMPHASIZE MY PASSION FOR COMMUNITY GETTING THIS WELL IN THE LEAD UP.

YOU GUYS DO NOT KNOW COMPLAINTS UNTIL YOU SEE TRASH ISSUE COMPLAINTS. SO I'D REALLY LIKE FOR US TO DO A FANTASTIC JOB IN COMMUNICATING VERY THOROUGHLY WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT THAT. I'M ALL OVER.

I WANT OUR RESIDENTS TO BE WELL AWARE OF THE CHANGES TONIGHT.

>> THE EXTRA CART IS AVAILABLE FOR RECYCLING -- RECYCLABLES

ALSO? >> YES.

YOU CAN DO BOTH. >> ANOTHER QUESTION.

WHAT WAS IT? OH.

THE CURRENT CARTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE.

IS THERE GOING TO BE A WAY TO GET RID OF THOSE OR ARE THEY GOING TO PICK THOSE UP AND THROW THEM AWAY.

STILL FOUR, FIVE, SIX CARTS IN OUR GARAGE AFTER WE GET THE OLD ONES AND KEEP THE OLD ONES AND GET THE NEW ONES.

>> IT YES. ALL NEW CARDS WILL BE DELIVERED.

AND THEY'LL ALL HAVE SIGNAGE ON THEM EXPLAINING WHAT, FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IS RECYCLABLE. IT'LL HAVE THE CITY LOGO AND IT'LL HAVE VOICE CONNECTIONS. SAME FOR THE TRASH.

THE EXISTING ONES THE RESIDENTS HAVE CANNOT BE USED ANY LONGER.

I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE DONE ANYTHING SPECIFICALLY.

>> THEY SAID THEY'LL PICK HIM UP.

YOU'LL HOLD HIM OFF IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO GET THEM.

>> IS THERE A SIGN ON IT THAT SAYS "PLEASE TAKE ME?"

>> IT'S REALLY HARD TO THROW A TRASH CAN AWAY.

I'VE TRIED THAT. SHORT OF CUTTING IT UP INTO PIECES SO YOU CAN STUFF IT INTO ANOTHER TRASH CAN, IT'S REAL

HARD. >> IT'S HARD TO GET RID OF THEM.

>> IS THERE GOING TO BE A CLEAR METHODOLOGY WE CAN COMMUNICATE IN THAT REGARD? THE MAYOR SPOKE ABOUT THE NEED FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION. BUT HOW TO HAVE THEM PICK UP THE ONE THAT NO LONGER, THEY'LL PICK UP THE TRASH OUT OF?

>> I KNOW TWO OR THREE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOUR OF THEM THAT ARE

[03:35:03]

NOTE -- >> I CAN TOUCH ON THE COMMUNICATION PIECE. WE'LL SEND OUT MAILERS TO EVERY RESIDENT, A TRIFOLD PACKET WITH EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE IN ADDITION TO RECLAIMING THE CARTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE IN THEIR POSITION. WE WANT THOSE GO OUT IN JUNE.

WILL ALSO DROP PINK TAGS BY JUL0 DAYS TO COME OUT GET THE PINK TAGS. WE'LL HAVE THEM AVAILABLE AND

PUT THEM ON CARTS. >> GOOD EVENING.

COUNCIL, COLLECTION OF THE EXISTING CARTS ARE STILL RUNNING RELOADS TO COLLECT FROM THAT FIRST MONTH OF AUGUST AND WE ALL TAKE THOSE EXISTING PARTS THAT RESIDENTS NO LONGER WANT.

THEY'LL THROW IT OUT AT THE CURB AND WE'LL GO AND COLLECT THOSE.

>> TO ADD TO THE COMMUNICATIONS, I KNOW LORI AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW THE CITY WILL BE INVOLVED IN THAT MEDICATION AS WELL. I WILL GET HER IN TOUCH WITH

THAT. >> MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE HAD A QR CODE ON TOP OF THE CARDS THEMSELVES WITH FURTHER

INFORMATION. >> THE QR CODES, OUR VENDOR PARTNERS CHANGE WHAT THEY DO. IT'S MOLDED INTO THE CART ITSELF. IF YOU ARE BACK IN THE BACKYARD, IT DOESN'T FADE OVER TIME. WE HAVEN'T DECIDED ON WHAT THAT LANDING PAGE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE.

ONCE YOU SEE IN THE QR CODE YOU CAN PAVE IT AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE CITY WEBSITE OR WE CAN DO OUR WEBSITE, WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE. THAT'LL GIVE RESIDENTS ANOTHER FORM OF ENGAGEMENT TO ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS QUICKLY AS OPPOSED TO CALLING US OR CALLING THE CITY, THEY CAN GET QUICK ANSWERS RIGHT THERE IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD.

IT'S REALLY COOL. A LOT OF STUFF IN THE APP.

THERE'S ALSO INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS ON THE LIDS TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IS RECYCLABLE AND NOT RECYCLABLE.

IN THE CLEAR RECYCLE BAGS YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LITERATURE OR FORM OF COMMUNICATION WHAT THAT IS.

EVERYONE IS GOING TO HAVE REALLY CLEAR DEFINITIONS OF WHAT THINGS

LOOK LIKE ON THEIR CARTS. >> WHAT ABOUT THE AREAS IN THE INNER-CITY THAT ARE NOT ON THE WATER? ARE THOSE GOING TO BE DONE THE SAME WAY IT'S BEING DONE IN TERMS OF PEOPLE DOING THEIR OWN? I JUST DID THIS FOUR MONTHS AGO WHERE I WAS OUT ON APPLE LANE BRING IT DOWN A QUARTER OF A MILE TO THE ROADWAY THAT WAS PART OF THE CITY.

AND SO I HAD A DIFFERENT BUILD FOR PICKING UP AND PAYING THAT SEPARATELY. PERSONALLY FOR ALL THIS TIME AND NOW I BUILT A HOUSE IN THE CITY AND IT'S REALLY NICE.

I LIKE THIS. WHAT IS THAT STILL GOING TO BE DONE THE SAME WAY WITH ALL THOSE NOT --

>> THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE NOT ON THE CITY FACILITIES.

THEY ARE GOING TO GET THEIR OWN CARTS.

I'M GOING TO IMAGINE THERE ARE SOME THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ACCOUNT SET UP RIGHT NOW SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME LEARNING CURVES WE ARE GOING TO WORK WITH ELLIS COUNTY AS WELL TRYING TO MAKE THE CITY UTILITY ON MAKING SURE WE ARE RECONCILE EYEING USING ALL OF OUR ADDRESSES ON THE CITY BECAUSE THERE ARE FOLKS THAT BILLED DIRECTLY SO THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS WILL GET BOTH LISTS JOINED UP AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE TOUCHING EVERYBODY

UP. >> I CAN SEE IT'S GOING TO BE NEEDING A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRUCK.

STILL USING THEIR OWN. AND THEY ARE NOT USING ONE OF THESE NEWER ONES THAT CAN LIFT UP AND ALL THAT SORT OF THING.

I'M JUST WONDERING BECAUSE I'M GOING TO GET CALLS FROM BOTH BECAUSE I'VE LIVED DOWN FOR 26 YEARS.

THEY'LL ALL CALL ME. >> LET ME CLARIFY.

THOSE FOLKS WILL GET ISSUE THE SAME CARTS AS EVERYBODY ELSE.

EVEN THOUGH THEY GETTING BILLED SEPARATELY THEY'LL ALL HAVE THE SAME SERVICE. SO I'M ON THAT SERVICE ROAD.

WE'LL JUST DRAG THEIR CART TO THE SAME PLACE YOU WERE DRAGGING YOURS. EVERYBODY WILL HAVE THE SAME CARTS FOR THE SAME SERVICE. THEY WILL JUST BE BILLED BY A

DIFFERENT ENTITY. >> SOME OF THOSE LIKE WHERE I LIVE, THERE ARE TWO YOUNG LADIES THAT THOUGHT THAT.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LOAD UP THE BIGGER CART INTO A TRUCK AND MOVE IT DOWN A QUARTER OF A MILE TO UNLOAD IT.

IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FOR HIM.

I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO WRITE THEM A NOTE AND SAY PICK IT UP.

>> THAT CAN CERTAINLY BE AN ISSUE AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A BIGGER PART WHERE THEY HAVE TO GET A VENUE TO PICK IT UP.

>> JUST A FEW QUESTIONS. SO ON HERE ON THE CURBSIDE THE TRASH IS TWICE A WEEK AND THAT IS THE RESIDENTS GET ONE

[03:40:05]

AND WHAT WAS THAT? >> IT'S THE 95 GALLONS.

>> THEY GET ONE TRASH CAN, 95 GALLONS.

THE SECOND QUESTION AND I KNOW THIS ONLY AFFECTS 3%.

BUT IT IS VERY CONFUSING AND I STILL CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

IF THEY ARE IN TOWN AND DOWN LIKE DOWNTOWN HOUSE OR PROPERTY REZONED AND THEY ARE USING RESIDENTIAL TRASH BINS AND -- THEY ARE JUST GETTING THAT OTHER RESIDENT SHALL TRASH BIN?

>> THEY CAN CONTINUE WITH CARTS. >> I KNOW SOME OF THEM USE THREE, FOUR, FIVE RIGHT NOW. I GUESS THEY WOULD JUST GO APPLY

AS MANY AS THEY NEED? >> THEY'LL DELIVER ONE.

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. >> THEY CAN HAVE ADDITIONAL ONES BUT THERE IS A COST FOR EACH ADDITIONAL CART?

>> FOR THESE BUSINESSES. IF YOU GO DOWN THE BACKSIDE THEY ARE FILLING OUT TWO DIFFERENT TRASH CANS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THEY CAN GO BUY ADDITIONAL TRASH CANS.

>> IT'LL BE A WASTE CONNECTION CAN.

AND IT'LL HAVE THEIR COSTS AND THAT'LL BE INCLUDED IN YOUR VILLAGE TIME BILL TIME. FOR THE MONTH CHARGE THAT YOU'LL

HAVE. >> I THINK THIS IS MY LAST QUESTION. AND YOU SAID YOU AREN'T GOING TO PICK UP THE BAG TRASH ANYMORE. JUST GOING TO GO TO THE ARM TRUCK THAT YOU ARE GETTING AWAY FROM MAN'S TRASH PICKUP BECAUSE THIS WAS CHEAPER. TO THAT POINT IT'S A 25%

INCREASE IN COSTS. >> THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

IF YOU REMEMBER GOING BACK TO OCTOBER OUR CURRENT AGREEMENT THAT'S EXPIRED AT THE END OF JULY, THERE IS A SYSTEM FOR SYSTEM CHART COME UP SOME KIND OF NUANCES, HAD TWO OF THE NEGATIVE RATE ADJUSTMENTS. PART OF THIS YOU CAN BUY THE COMMERCIAL ROLLOUT GOING UP AND RESIDENTS CHANGING, WE ARE BRIDGING CPI. WHAT SHOULD CPI AFFECTING OUR RATES IF WE JUST DID TRASH. IT'S 100% RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY AND A NEW AGREEMENT WILL HAVE THAT AS WELL.

ONLY AFFECTED BY WHAT WE ARE AFFECTED BY, RIGHT? NOTHING OUTSIDE THE NORM OF WHAT'S OUTSIDE THE INDEX.

WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS THE BRIDGE IF YOU HAD A CURRENT AGREEMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL WHICH SHOULD BE ABOUT 17-20 CURRENTLY.

IF YOU JUST TOOK WHAT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IF THAT SYSTEM CHART WASN'T IN PLACE, IT'S A SLIGHT REPRODUCTION.

IT'S JUST A BRIDGE AND THE CHANGEUP.

>> YOU'RE SAYING IF WE WOULD'VE STUCK OVER THE 17% INCREASE OVER THE ORIGINAL PRICE OFF THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT?

>> THE ORIGINAL WAS 13 AND CHANGE IT WOULD'VE GONE TO 17 IF YOU BRIDGE CPI, WHAT WAS THE CHANGE SINCE 2021?

>> MAYBE I'M LOST BUT THE ONE I HAVE HERE IS A 25% INCREASE ON

RESIDENTIAL. >> TALKING ABOUT THE RATE.

NOT THE PERCENTAGE. >> THE RATE ITSELF.

THE 25%, WHAT CPI ACTUALLY WAS IMPACTED ON THE RESIDUAL RATE BECAUSE OF THAT SYSTEM CHART IN OUR CURRENT AGREEMENT WE ACTUALLY HAD NEGATIVE RATE ADJUSTMENTS.

AS I RECALLED 20-2122 RATE INFLATION WE ARE PAYING OUR DRIVERS MORE PAYING MORE FOR TRUCKS AND THE NUMBER ONE COST THAT WE HAVE IN OUR INDUSTRY IS STEEL AND LABOR COSTS SO WE ARE MAKING LOSS THERE AND IT'S THE WEIRD NUANCE OF THAT SYSTEM.

>> SOMEONE REMINDED ME ON THE STICKERS AT 95 A GALLON I HAVE LOOSE BAGS AND I S PUT IT NEXT Y TRASH?

>> THAT'S IT. >> WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT WITH THE BAGS, WE HAVE TO DETERMINE IF WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THOSE ON THE FRONT END IS THAT SOMETHING WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT TONIGHT OR IS THAT SOMETHING FOR LATER?

>> I WOULD THINK TONIGHT... IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT AND DETERMINE. HOW MANY IF WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THOSE HOW MANY WE ARE GOING TO GIVE.

I DO KNOW OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE THEM.

THEY CHARGE A NOMINAL AMOUNT. JUST TO COVER THE COST.

WE'LL GET CHARGED FOR THE TAXED. BUT IT'S A MINOR COST.

>> GOT YOU. >> WE DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION TODAY TO GO IN THE AGREEMENT.

>> THE TAX THEMSELVES ARE FULLY PROVIDED.

THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE TO GO AND PROCURE THOSE.

[03:45:05]

THEY LAST ABOUT NINE MONTHS. >> GOT SHIPPED.

>> TAKING EMOTION? >> JUST ONE LAST THING.

WE SENT IT OUT A WEEK AGO BUT THE PLAN IS UNLESS YOU TELL ME SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS TO HAVE BLACK TRASH CANS AND BLUE RECYCLABLE PARTS AND THEY WILL JUST SAY MIDLOTHIAN, TEXAS WITH THE CITY LOGO EMBOSSED ON THE SIDE.

I KNOW SOME HAVE GREEN TRASH CANS AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING BLACK AND YELLOW. BIG DEAL.

>> IT'S IMPORTANT. >> AS LONG AS IT'S NOT GREEN.

>> I'D LIKE TO MOTION. >> MOTION TO APPROVE IS SECONDED BY MOORMAN. PLEASE VOTE.

[2026-129 Consider and act upon adoption of the FY 2026-2031 Strategic Plan as a planning document for the City of Midlothian to include personnel and capital equipment for the General Fund, Utility Fund, Conference Center, Ellis County Radio, Senior Citizen Center, and Hotel Motel Fund.]

ADOPTION OF FISCAL YEAR 2026 STRATEGIC PLAN, THE PLANNING DOCUMENT OF THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN, INCLUDING ALL THE

VARIOUS BUDGETS DEPARTMENTS. >> WELL.

I WILL BEGIN BY EMPHASIZING THAT THIS IS A PLAN THAT WE ARE ADOPTING. IT IS NOT COMMITTING ANY FUNDS TONIGHT. THAT'LL COME WHEN WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE BUDGET. BUT I'LL RUN THROUGH IT REALLY QUICKLY. BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S GETTING L LATE. SO THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE IN THERE IS A CALENDAR THAT IS THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

IT WILL SHOW ANYONE WHO SENDS THIS UP IN THE AGENDA THAT THE SCHEDULING OF THE MEETINGS, THE SCHEDULING OF THE ACTUAL BUDGET ADOPTION GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THAT THROUGH ALL OF OUR WORKSHOPS IN THE VERY FIRST SPREADSHEET IS JUST A MULTI-YEAR'S CITY OF PERSONNEL SUMMARIES.

IT WILL SHOW YOU AN AMOUNT THAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR TAX NOTE, RECOMMENDED TO BE TABLED TO FUTURE YEARS ON A CITY MANAGER.

AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING -- THOSE ARE PLACEHOLDERS RIGHT NOW. WE DO NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC AMOUNT FOR THOSE. AND THAT IS CITYWIDE.

AND YOU HAVE A GENERAL FUND SECTION.

JUST KIND OF GO THROUGH THAT ONE REAL QUICK AND THE OTHER ONES WILL FOLLOW. YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHING BY A MULTIYEAR FINANCIAL PLAN BY DEPARTMENT AND BY CATEGORY.

BASICALLY THE SAME INFORMATION. YOU HAVE A BASE BUDGET.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL AS WE ARE OF ALWAYS HAD AND THE TOTAL PROPOSED. WITH THE SUPPLEMENTAL WE ARE -- WE HAVE A PLAN TO DEVASTATE THE DRAWDOWN FROM FROM THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE. AND RIGHT NOW IT STATES AT 5,400,000. FLIP OVER A COUPLE MORE PAGES AND YOU CAN SEE JUST THE SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST BY DEPARTMENT IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.

AND YOU CAN SEE AS I'M ENTERING IT ON ANOTHER PAGE THE CITY MANAGER HAS RECOMMENDED SOME ITEMS FOR TAX NOTES AND THERE'S ALSO SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE BEING PUSHED TO FUTURE YEARS.

AND YOU HAVE THAT FOR EACH DEPARTMENT IN THE GENERAL FUND.

AND IF ANYBODY WANTS TO STOP, LET ME KNOW.

I'LL BE GLAD TO. >> I DO WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THE FIVE-POINT IS SIMPLE. THE DRAWDOWN WAS 2 MILLION.

>> SEVERAL PAGES BACK YOU HAVE A SHEET.

IT'S THE END OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST AND THAT WILL JUST SHOW YOU THE SUMMARY OF THE PERSONNEL THAT IS 4 OF 5 YEARS THAT IS NOT FOR ONE YEAR. IF YOU SEE THAT TOTAL NUMBER OF POSITIONS, AGAIN THAT'S FOR THE FIVE YEARS THEMSELVES.

AND WE ALSO BROKE THAT DOWN AS FAR AS THERE IS A PERSONNEL TOTAL, THERE IS A CAPITAL TOTAL. AND THERE IS A REVENUE OFFSET.

SEVERAL THINGS CAN BE PAID FOR BY IMPACT FEES AND SO WE'VE

[03:50:03]

THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY SHEET. IT'S RIGHT BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE UTILITY FUND. AND THAT WILL SHOW YOU THE SUPPLEMENTAL ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED.

AND WHAT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED FOR A POSSIBLE TAX AMOUNT.

>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE THAT ARE SUPPLEMENTAL?

OR DO YOU HAVE ONE DO. >> IT LOOKS LIKE THIS ONE.

ITS PORTRAIT. IT'S RIGHT BEFORE THE UTILITIES.

>> OKAY. >> THOSE ARE ALL BY DEPARTMENT AND ITS OWN SET OF GOING THROUGH THOSE UNLESS SOMEBODY HAS A SPECIFIC QUESTION. AND THEN WE HAVE THIS SHEET WHICH AGAIN SHOWS THE SUPPLEMENTAL IS ROUGHLY 5,000,964. UTILITY FUND.

AGAIN, YOU HAVE THE SAME SET UP. YOU HAVE THE PLAN BY DEPARTMENT.

AND YOU HAVE ON THE NEXT PAGE BY CATEGORY.

AGAIN THE BASE BUDGET DOES NOT SHOW A DEFICIT.

WE DO HAVE LISTED ALMOST $12 MILLION WITH SUPPLEMENTALS AND THAT WOULD SHOW A TOTAL PROPOSED DRAWDOWN OF A FUND BALANCE FOR 9.9 MILLION. AND THEN AGAIN AS WE HEAD INTO THE GENERAL FUND, WE HAVE PAGES THAT WILL GO THROUGH AND SHOW YOU THE INDIVIDUAL PROPOSED ITEMS FOR THE UTILITY FUND.

I'LL POINT OUT ONE PARTICULAR ONE AND THERE IS NO FUNDING FOR IT. IF YOU LOOK UNDER THE I.D., 38003, THAT IS THE WATER PLANT EXPANSION.

THAT IS ESTIMATED TO BE A VERY LARGE BUDGET.

IT SHOWS 144.3 MILLION IN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PHASES AND AT THE BOTTOM THERE IS A NOTE THAT TALKS ABOUT THOSE.

IT'S KIND OF A HYBRID THAT FOR SCHOOL '26-'27.

IT'S CASH FUNDED THROUGH '27 THROUGH '31 ARE FUNDED THROUGH REVENUE BONDS. AND MY COPY IS REALLY TINY.

THERE IS A LITTLE PLUS SIGN BY A NUMBER OF THESE AT THE END OF THE TITLE. THOSE WITH POSSIBLY THE IMPACTED BY IMPACT FEES FROM THE REVENUE OFFSET.

IT WILL BE A REVENUE OFFSET FOR THOSE.

JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND AS WE GO THROUGH THIS SUMMER.

AND YOU HAVE YOUR TOTAL ESTIMATES AT THE VERY END.

AND THE ELLIS COUNTY RADIO FUND. IT'S A FAIRLY SMALL FUND.

IT DOESN'T CARRY OVER A LOT OF BALANCE AND THIS IS A FUND THAT WE BILL THE OTHER ENTITIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THIS AND SO AGAIN WE HAVE A BASE BUDGET ON THAT OF 145977.

WE HAVE SUPPLEMENTAL PROPOSED OF 207,613 AND YOU GET A TITLE PROPOSED OF DEFICIT OF 61. 636.

THE SENIOR CENTER THAT ONE WE HAVE A BALANCE THAT PROPOSED THAT BASE BUDGET. AND THEN WE HAVE SOME SUPPLEMENTAL ITEMS THERE. THAT TOTAL 83,000 SO AS PROPOSED IT WOULD BE A NEGATIVE 83,000. FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WE DISCUSSED THIS EARLIER IN THE EVENING, CHRIS MENTIONED THE HOTEL MOTEL FUND WE HAVE INCLUDED THAT IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND IT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET AND FOR NOW WE HAVE

[03:55:07]

THE 250,000 WAS DISCUSSED EARLIER AS THE VISITORS BUREAU AND THE MUSEUM. DURING THE SUMMER WE WILL LOOK AT FUNDING FOR THAT. WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL BE HOTEL MOTEL OR SOME OTHER. THE CONFERENCE CENTER AGAIN THAT ONE WE BUDGETED IT AT A ZERO-BASED BUDGET.

BUT THEN WE HAVE SOME REQUEST FOR A COUPLE OUTLAY THAT WOULD BRING THAT TO A NEGATIVE 12370 IF THAT IS APPROVED.

AND THAT IS THE END OF THAT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE FUND THES? I KNOW I WENT THROUGH IT QUI QUICKLY.

>> SO THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS I KNOW THIS IS A PROJECTION.

I KNOW IT'S A PLANNING TOOL. BUT DO WE HAVE A WAY TO PROJECT WHAT THE NET EFFECT ON THE FUND BALANCE WOULD BE ITSELF? WE KNOW THAT THIS CAN GO UP OR DOWN BASED ON WHAT WE WERE USING FROM THE FUND BALANCE OR ADDING TO THE FUND BALANCE, RIGHT? BUT WHAT IS THE FUND BALANCE? IT'S PROJECTED.

>> I DO NOT HAVE IT PROJECTED TO A YEAR NOW.

BUT I DO HAVE THE FUND BALANCE FOR THE DIFFERENT -- FOR GENERAL FUND AND UTILITY FUND AS OF TODAY.

>> WHICH I FULLY RESPECT. BUT WITH WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO PROJECT AND AMEND ABLE TO PROJECT THE '26 IN '27 I'D REALLY LOVE TO SEE IN THE BOTTOM EACH ONE OF THOSE SUMMARY CHARTS FOR EACH FUND, THIS IS WHERE WE THINK WILL BE AT THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR AND BASED ON THAT ACTIVITY AND THE EFFECT OF IT, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE NEXT AND I'D ALSO LOVE A FOOTNOTE FOR EACH PERIOD AS TO WHAT WE PROJECT THE DAILY COST OF B.

THOSE ARE THINGS WE ARE CONSTANTLY DISCUSSING AND IT'S HOW MUCH WILL IS ONE DAY, HOW MANY DAYS OF SERVICE DO WE HAVE.

WHAT'S THE BALANCE AND WE OFTEN SEE THE ACTIVITY IN THE PERIOD.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS ITS ACTUAL EFFECT WOULD BE ON CASH BALANCE. FROM A PRIVATE SECTOR STAN

STANDPOINT. >> THAT SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T DONE THE PAST BUT WE COULD CERTAINLY DO THAT.

>> THAT MIGHT SAVE US A LOT OF ACCOUNTING IN MATHEMATICS AND YOU GUYS ON THE SPOT IF WE HAD JUST HAD THE INFORMATION CHART

ALONGSIDE. >> WE COULD ROLL IT IN THREE TO DAYS. WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT IN THE

PAST. >> ON THE SUMMARY PAGE FOR EACH SPOT AND NOT IN THE DETAILS SHEET.

IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL. >> I DEFINITELY AGREE AND IT'D BE PRETTY HELPFUL. JUST TO HAVE THE IMPROVEMENT.

REALLY THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS WE WOULD BE GETTING A NOTEBOOK WITH PAPER, I'M A PEN AND PAPER GUY.

SEE ALL OF THIS, LOOKING THROUGH IT BEFORE, IT'D BE REAL NICE TO WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT TO HAVING IT IN NOTEBOOK FORM SO WE

CAN MAKE NOTES, REMIND MYSELF. >> YEAH.

YOU'LL DEFTLY GET THAT WITH THE BUDGET AND WE USED TO DO THAT FOR THIS. SO I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE --

>> IF YOU COULD DO ONE, I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF THIS BEFORE, BUT IF YOU COULD PUT ONE IN MY BOX IT SURE WOULD BE

HELPFUL FOR ME. >> I COULDN'T GIVE ANYBODY WHO WANTS ONE A SMALLER NOTEBOOK BECAUSE, YES, I CAN DRIVE A LOT OF NOTES MYSELF. I UNDERSTAND.

>> HEATHER, I DIDN'T SEE MY ICE CREAM IN HERE -- NO.

I DID SEE A DOWNTOWN MAINTENANCE PERSON.

I'M ASSUMING IT WAS TAKING A NEW CONSIDERATION FOR THIS FUND.

I'M CURIOUS ON THE STREET SIDE, ON THE STREET F RESURFACING

[04:00:01]

THIS, IS THIS 2.7 CARRYING FORWARD? I KNOW IT CHANGES. WITH THAT WAS STORE US TO WHAT

WE WERE NORMALLY SPENDING? >> THAT'S JUST THE ONE YEAR FOR

BACK TO NORMAL. >> WE ARE EASING BACK TO NORMAL.

>> AT LEAST. >> THAT'S THE PLAN.

>> TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION BECAUSE ONE THING I THINK THAT WAS A HAPPY COINCIDENCE WITH ACCELERATING THAT WAS AT LEAST TALKING WITH GOVERNMENT THERE ARE MORE ECONOMIES OF SCALE WE WERE GETTING DUE TO THIS SCALE REPORT WE ARE BIDDING.

I THINK THERE IS SOME CONCEPT THEY ARE TO LOOK AT IF WE WANT TO DO IN EVERY OTHER YEAR OR ARE WE DOING A LARGER AMOUNT AT ONE TIME TO GET THAT SCALE TO GET THAT A LITTLE BIT OF A TIME SPENDING MORE THAN UNIT BECAUSE IT'S A SMALLER PROJECT.

THAT IS A FUND DISCUSSION. THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OTHER THING I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IS LOOKING AT THE GENERAL FUND WILL COME OF THE SUMMARY IS WHAT I AM GOING AT.

WE HAVE THREE COLUMNS. WE'VE GOT THE BASE, PROPOSED '26, '27 AND WE HAVE A SUBMENTAL PROBLEM.

WE HAVE A CITY MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDED AND CITY MANAGEMENT

RECOMMENDED FOR A BUDGET CYCLE. >> YES.

>> IT'S THAT SIMPLE MENTAL COLUMN COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF

THE TWO COLOR-CODED. >> YES.

>> THERE IS NO CROSS OVER. HERE'S A SIMPLE MENTAL IN THE TAX NOTE. DEFINITELY IN THE TAX NOTE.

>> BASICALLY IF YOU WOULD HAVE SUPPLEMENTAL TAX NOTE PLUS THE PUSH THAT'S WHAT THE INITIAL REQUEST DAYS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THIS AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COUNCIL SEES EVERYTHING THAT THE DEPARTMENT REQUEST BUT

THERE IS NO OVERLAP. >> BUT THOSE THREE OVERLAP TOGETHER. AND IN THE COLUMNS THAT ARE FURTHER OUT IN THE FUTURE, '27, POSSIBLY 28TH, SO FAR AND SO ON THAT'LL BE THE TOTAL ASKS. NOT SPLIT OUT?

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO RECONCILE.

5.4, WE ROLL INTO 27 AND 28. BUT IF I AGGRAVATE THOSE THREE,

IT MAKES MORE SENSE. >> WE ARE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE GET THIS KIND OF MAY BE POSSIBLY FUNDED AND TO ANSWER SOME OF YOUR OTHER QUESTIONS, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THAT BALANCE, JUST DOING THE MATH, IF WE DID THE TOTAL PROPOSED BUDGET OF $23 MILLION DIVIDED, IT'S ABOUT 201,000 A DAY. GIVE OR TAKE.

THAT 2.89, THAT WOULD BE ABOUT 14 DAYS.

I DO NOT HAVE THE FUND BALANCE TODAY.

I GET WHAT YOU ARE ASKING. WE DEALING WITH OVER 200? GETTING IT DOWN TO 185? WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION.

>> THAT'S REALLY WHAT I WANT TO SEE.

THE ONLY THING GREAT FROM A BUSINESS POSITION.

MAKING US INTO A CONSULTING POSITION.

BUT ON DAY 365, IT'S MORE IMPORTANT FROM A PHYSICAL

PLANNING. >> WE HAVE MORE PROJECTS IF YOU RECALL. WE HAVE AN APPROVED OF IT YET.

BUT THAT WAS A PLAN DRAWN OUT THAT WE HAVE AN APPROVED YET.

SO AS WE GET CLOSER WE'LL KNOW WHETHER WE ARE FUNDING ALL OF THAT PROJECT OR ANY OTHER PROJECT FOR THAT MATTER.

>> WITH THAT BE IN THE AMENDED '25-'26 OR NO?

>> IT WOULD BE. >> IT'S NOT REFLECTED HERE.

>> IS THERE A WAY -- THOSE ARE NOT RESERVE FUNDS.

BECAUSE -- THEY ARE RESERVED? >> THEY WERE UNRESERVED FUNDS AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE PROJECT WE MIGHT WANT TO DO THAT UNTIL WE GET THE ENGINEERING BACK AND DECIDE THAT WE DON'T

HAVE A NUMBER. >> THOSE WOULD BE DISCRETIONARY FUNDS. EVEN IF WE CAN BREAK THOSE OUT TOO I DO NOT WANT TO GET TO GRAND WITH IT.

BUT WHAT IS A TRUE UNRESERVED FUND BALANCE AND WHAT IS THE COEFFICIENT THAT WE HAVE RESERVED IN THE BUDGET CYCLE WHERE WE HAVE NOT ALLOCATED THAT.

BECAUSE THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE -- THAT'S THE STUFF THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE IN ANY OF THE TROUBLES.

AND THAT MAY BE HARD TO AND CALCULATE IN THE CHART.

IF WE SAY WE WANT TO EARMARK A MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE AVENUE F PROJECT BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST YET OR WHERE WE ARE GOING TO SPEND IT THIS BUDGET CYCLE -- I MEAN, I DON'T

[04:05:01]

CAPITAL PROJECTS? >> JUST LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR WE DEFTLY HAVE THAT. WE JUST NEVER PUT IT IN A

STRATEGIC PLAN. >> KNOWING ITS FUZZY MATH IS

IMPORTANT. >> WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT.

>> IT'S GOOD PROTECTION BASED -- I GET THAT.

BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE IT IF IT'S NOT TOO ONEROUS ON STAFF TO WORK

THAT IN. >> WE CAN WORK ON THAT.

>> IS THERE A MOTION TO ADOPT. MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT.

OR APPROVED. >> SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN HAMMONDS. PLEASE VOTE.

[2026-130 Consider and act upon a resolution authorizing an expenditure by the Midlothian Community Development Corporation in the amount of $2,462,318.75 for redemption prior to maturity of their Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Taxable Series 2014.]

CONSIDERING AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE IN THE AMOUNT OF $200,462,318.75. REDEMPTION PRIOR TO MATURITY

UNDER SALES TAX. >> SO THIS AGENDA ITEM, THE MCD MET ON APRIL 23RD. JUST RECENTLY AND THEY DID DECIDE TO GO AHEAD AND USE THE PAYOFF ON THE BONDS THAT THEY HAD THAT WERE 2014. THE INT INTEREST RATE, NEXT YEAR IT'S GOING BEFORE .12. .12.

THEREAFTER UNTIL FINAL MATURITY IT WAS GOING TO BE 5.5%.

IF THEY WERE TO ISSUE BONDS TODAY IT WOULD PROBABLY BE NO MORE THAN 4.15% AND POSSIBLY LESS.

THE ACTUAL SAVINGS BY DOING THIS REDEMPTION, THE NET PRESENT VALUE WAS 595,996.87. THEY DECIDED TO PAY THIS IN CASH IF YOU ROAM RECALL THEY HAD THE MEZZANINE FOR THE MARRIOTT AND THAT WAS PAID AND THEY HAD DECIDED TO PUT THOSE FUNDS IN THEIR DEBT SERVICE FUND AND NOT PAY THE DEBT OFF.

THEY HAD DECIDED AT THIS POINT TO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.

IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW.

>> I JUST LEVEL REPAY DEBT OFF EARLY.

2026, 131, CONSIDERING ACT UPON A BID AWARDING MECA CONSTRUCTION LLC OF A SIDEWALK PROGRAM WITH 8,685 PLUS 15% 375 TOTAL AMOUNT

RECEIVING $941.81. >> THANK YOU.

THIS IS WHAT THAT COUNSEL IN THE LAST BUDGET YEAR REALLY THOUGHT AND WANTED TO PRIORITIZE DOWNTOWN WHERE THE WALK ABILITY IN THEIR SIDEWALKS. WE DID GO THROUGH THIS PROJECT AND DESIGN A LOT OF THE DOWNTOWN SIDEWALKS THAT DESIGNED MORE THAN THIS. BUT THIS IS WHAT WE CAN REALLY AFFORD AND WITH THIS WE ARE RECOMMENDING CONSTRUCTION LLC.

THEY ARE THE LOWEST QUALIFIED BIDDER IN THE AMOUNT OF 100 THAT IS THE ALTERNATE. YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE THAT THESE ARE THE -- THE PURPLE ONES ARE THE ALTERNATE AND WE WEREN'T EXACTLY SURE WHERE THE COST WAS GOING TO COME IN.

THEY DID COME IN BETTER. WE HAVE CITY HALL, IT'S ALL DUE WEST NORTH OF CITY HALL AND OF COURSE IT'S RIGHT HERE AND WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING EMILY HORN COMPLETE THE DESIGN AND AVENUE F. WE GOT IT EARLY THAT OUR STREET SUPERINTENDENT THAT HELPED OUT TREMENDOUSLY ON THIS PROJECT SO

[04:10:02]

>> ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? >> WHAT WAS THE METHOD OF

CHOOSING THIS SECTION? >> WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO A LOT SO WHICH IS PROCEEDING DOWN THAT THIS IS THE FIRST PHASE.

WHEN EVER YOU ALL ALLOCATE MONEY WE ARE GOING TO TAKE OUT MORE AND MORE AND MORE OF THE SIDEWALKS.

THEY WILL ALL BE ADA ACCESSIBLE SO THERE'S A LOT OF ENGINEERING THAT HAS TO GET THE SLOPES RIGHT, THE PITCH RIGHT TO GET THE CURBS, THE TRUNCATED DOMES ET CETERA CORRECT AND THE

CROSSINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. >> I'M JUST HEARING CLARK IN MY HEAD TALK ABOUT SOCK HOPS DOWNTOWN SO I PICTURED STARTING IN THE ACTUAL CENTER OF DOWNTOWN AND MOVING OUT.

>> I ALSO HEARD IN THE SAME BUDGET MEETING, THAT SAME BUDGET MEETING AND A RETREAT THAT THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN HAS TO GET DONE AND COMPLETING THAT DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, FOR INSTANCE, ONE OF THE PROJECTS IS AVENUE F.

SO THAT IS WHY WE ARE NOT TOUCHING AVENUE F, REALLY, AT ALL. ANOTHER ONE IS THE REDESIGN OF EIGHTH STREET HERE. WE ARE NOT TOUCHING THAT.

IF YOU GET DOWN TO THIS WITH THE ADA, IT'S GOING TO BE A JUDGMENT AS AMOUNT OF MONEY AND CAPITAL AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

YOU'LL HAVE TO DO SIDEWALKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> I'M JUST GLAD I MADE A LASTING IMPACT.

BUT, I MEAN, I WOULD THINK, OR I WOULD LIKE THAT AT SOME POINT WE ADDRESS -- I'VE HAD TO PUSH SOMEONE IN A WHEELCHAIR FROM EIGHTH TO VILLA. IT'S A MISSION.

YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEBODY WITH A STRONG BACK.

>> I HAVE REQUESTED HARTFIELD TO GIVE US AN ESTIMATE ON WHAT IT WOULD COST, OR THEIR OPINION OF WHAT IT WOULD COST TO COMPLETE EIGHTH SOUTH OF HERITAGE PARK BECAUSE THAT'S IN THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN. I WANT THIS TO SEGUE AND ALLOW THEM TO DESIGN THAT WHILE THEY ARE DESIGNING IF THEY CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO AID CITY HALL AND HERITAGE PARK.

I WANT TO COMBINE WITH THOSE TWO PROJECTS.

>> I THINK THIS IS GREAT. I MEAN I FIGURED THAT F WAS NOT TOUCHED BECAUSE OF THE OTHER BUDGET.

BUT THIS IS A GREAT START. >> JUST A QUICK QUESTION.

I FIND THIS ENCOURAGING THAT WE ARE GETTING SIDEWALKS DONE FROM WHAT I'VE FOLLOWED WITH THE ASSISTED WHEELCHAIR ACCESS, THE MAIN FOCUS SEEMS TO BE AROUND DOWNTOWN AND ALSO ALONG THE MAIN STREET. NOT ODDLY ENOUGH, BUT ODDLY ENOUGH, MAIN STREET FIRST THROUGH EIGHTH, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONCERN THERE. IT'S NOT JUST MUCH THE SIDEWALKS BUT ESPECIALLY AT INTERSECTION POINTS, ALLOWING FOR GOOD

WHEELCHAIR POINTS. >> AND THAT'S NOT QUANTIFIED IN HERE. IT'S NOT BROKEN OUT.

BUT I BET A LOT OF OUR COSTS ARE THE GEOMETRY OF THE INTER INTERSECTION. PLUS YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF OPEN DITCHES. THAT MAKES IT THAT MUCH MORE

DIFFICULT. >> THE ONLY REAL CONCERN THAT I HAVE AND I BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE AND I'LL BRING IT UP AGAIN. WE ARE GOING TO SPEND ALL THIS MONEY ON THE SIDEWALKS. OBVIOUSLY WE'VE GOT THREE OR FOUR OF THEM IN PLACE AND GET THE LEVEL OF THOSE SIDEWALKS

CORRECT. >> I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DEMO SOME AND WHAT I MEAN IS DEMO THEM.

BUT THEY ARE GOING TO THE SAME PLACE THAT THEY WERE BEFORE.

>> IF GEOMETRY ALLOWS IT. YES.

>> MY QUESTION REVOLVES ONCE AGAIN AS I BROUGHT UP MANY TIMES WITHOUT A FIRST THROUGH 14TH ENGINEERING PLAN HOW DO WE KNOW WE ARE GETTING THEM IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

HOW DO WE... I MEAN --

>> THESE ARE SIDEWALKS. YOU'RE GOING ALONG WITH THE

FRONT OF THE BUSINESS IS. >> SIDEWALKS IN TO THE RELATION OF THE STREET AND IN RELATION TO UTILITY, FUTURE UNDERGROUND UTILITY PLACEMENT. WE RUN INTO SOME ISSUES AND I HEARD SOME QUESTIONS RECENTLY IN A RECENT EASEMENT PAVED PARKING CASE. TELL WHERE YOU MEASURE THE DEPTH OF THE PARKING SPACES CARS WILL BE HANGING INTO THE STREET.

SO EVERYTHING IS NOT MATCHING. SO WE ARE GOING TO START ONCE
