ANY QUESTIONS? >> TRYING TO IMAGINE THE RAILROAD AND THE SIDEWALK. WHERE THE SIDEWALK? >> COUNTRY CLUB THIS HAS A RAILROAD SPUR THAT CROSSES OF A SIDEWALK CROSSING. AND THE ROAD IS A FUTURE ITEM. >> OKAY OTHER ITEMS ARE PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS SO UNLESS THERE ARE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS NOW. WE WILL TAKE THOSE ITEMS. BACK TO OUR BACK TO WORK SESSION ITEMS NUMBER FOUR IS BOND FUNDING UPDATE , 2022 AND WE WILL GO INTO THE NEW ASK FOR BONDS. >> DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, TONIGHT THIS IS A BRIEF UPDATE ON THE BOND FUNDING WITH UPDATES ON THE PROJECTS BUT AS YOU MAY RECALL WE RECENTLY EXECUTED TWO MORE ILA'S WITHIN THE COUNTY SO THIS IS TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT DENTON COUNTY 2022 TRIP BOND THE PARKWAY WAS SELECTED BY DENTON COUNTY WAS 25 MILLION IN FUNDING, WE HAVE EXECUTED TWO ILA'S WITH DENTON COUNTY AND FOR FRANKFORD ROAD WE HAVE 7.875 MILLION AND THIS IS MATCHED SO 50% MATCHED SO THE CITY HAS TO PUT IN THAT MUCH. AND WE HAVE EXECUTED TWO ILA'S WITHIN COUNTY RD., FRANKFORD ROAD AS WELL AS FRANKFURT ROAD WITH BRIDGE REPAIRS A QUARTER OF 1 MILLION ON THAT ONE SO THIS IS A BRIEF UPDATE ON THOSE PROJECTS AGAIN THESE ARE REIMBURSABLE SO AS WE COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION WE
WILL SEND INVOICES FOR REIMBURSEMENT SO THEY WILL EVALUATE AND SEND MONEY BACK TO US BUT CONTINUING TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE WORK, OLD DENTON FRANKFORD FROM OLD DENTON TO STAND RIDGE IS 90% COMPLETE ON THE DESIGN SO IT'S ABOUT READY TO GO TO CONSTRUCTION AND PHASE 2 IS QUICK BEHIND THAT SO THAT WILL BE WHEN WE GET THAT PORTION UNDER CONSTRUCTION WE WILL BE READY FOR THE NEXT SECTION ONCE IT IS COMPLETED AND THEN THE PARKWAY WE HAVE GOT CENTRAL AND EASTERN OVER 60% SO WE HAVE MOVED ON TO THE CONTRACTORS WORKING ON 90% PLANS IN THE WESTERN SECTION IS AT 60% AND THAT ONE IS BEHIND BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING TRAFFIC FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT SO IT IS SUPPOSED TO LAG BEHIND A LITTLE BIT. MOVING FORWARD VERY QUICKLY ON THESE. >> AWESOME. >> WHAT THE PAYMENTS BETWEEN HEBRON AND FRANKFURT? >> FRANKFURT IS A LITTLE LESS IN THE 55 TO 60 RANGE, THE PARKWAY , THE WEST SECTION IS 58.7 AND THEN CENTRAL IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER AT 65 AND FAR EAST IS 61 OR 62. >> SEEMS TO BE FALLING APART FASTER. >> IT IS ABSOLUTELY DEGRADING SO IT HAS A STEEPER DROP OFF. >> SO THE TIMING OF THIS WILL BE STAGGERED BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE ALL THE PROJECTS ARE WEST OF JOSIE , BASICALLY. ZERO NOT DOING THIS AT THE SAME TIME. BOTH MAIN ARTERIES HEADED WEST. >> FRANKFURT ROAD IS ALL COMPLETELY WEST. HEBRON PARKWAY IS ACROSS SO IT IS GOING FROM HAMILTON WEST OF 121 ALL THE WAY TO MEADOW EAST OF JOSIE ALMOST TO THE MARSH SO THE PARKWAY IS ALMOST THE ENTIRE WAY. >> OKAY HAMILTON IS WHERE MEADOW IS. >> HAMILTON IS 121 AND JOSIE LANE TO MEADOW. ALL THE WAY. SO WE WILL LIKELY END UP MOVING EAST TO WEST ON BOTH SO YOU HAVE THE FURTHEST EAST SECTION . >> GOING THE OPPOSITE WAY. >> THE SAME WAY BUT STARTING SO MUCH FURTHER EAST ON HEBRON PARKWAY. SO THE TRAFFIC PLAN PART OF IT SO, TRYING TO MITIGATE CONSTRUCTION AND IMPACT TO TRAFFIC IS A BIG PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS, TRYING TO FIT IN AS WELL AS THE AREA SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH DESIGN ENGINEERS TO MITIGATE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET STUFF STAGGERED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WILL NOT IMPACT RESIDENTS OR IN THE LEAST AMOUNT POSSIBLE . >> WHEN THAT HAPPENS A SUGGESTION WE COULD GET A BRIEF ON WHAT THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND STAGING AND THE TIMING SO WE CAN HELP COMMUNICATE THAT BECAUSE THAT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN. ON NANCY'S SIDE OF TOWN. >> IT DOES REACH INTO YOUR SITE. >> TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD ALMOST. >> MOSTLY YOU. >> I APPRECIATE THAT SO WE CAN HELP MITIGATE. >> IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT, THIS IS A GREAT CONTRIBUTION FROM DENTON COUNTY AND WE APPRECIATE THEIR SUPPORT WE WILL BE HERE NEXT MEETING FOR PRESENTATION AS WELL. >> THANK YOU. >> MOVING ON TO DISCUSS 2026 BOND . >> SO TONIGHT IS AS YOU MAY RECALL WE PRESENTED INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS FOR THE 2026 BOND PROPOSALS AT THE LAST MEETING SO WE WANTED TO GET UP AND CONFIRM THE LIST TONIGHT SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. AGAIN THE SPLIT IS APPROXIMATELY 70/30. 30% ALLOCATED TO PUBLIC SAFETY, PARKS, LIBRARY MUNICIPAL COURTS AND FACILITIES OVERALL 20 $35 MILLION BOND AND WITH A PRETTY GOOD BREAK OUT OF RESIDENTIAL ARTERIAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL AND TRAFFIC. SO AS FAR AS WHERE THE PROJECTS ARE LOCATED ACROSS THE CITY IS A PRETTY EVEN SPLIT WHEN YOU LOOK AT INFRASTRUCTURE LANE MILES FOR EACH QUADRANT OF THE CITY FOR WHERE THE OVERALL
BOND IS FALLING THEY TYPICALLY ALIGN AND THAT IS DUE TO THE WORK OF GOING THROUGH AND EVALUATING TO MAKE SURE IT IS SPREAD OUT ACROSS THE CITY. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP WE HAVE IT IN ALL THE AREAS FAR-REACHING. FROM A STREET STANDPOINT , OVERALL IT IS 35 TOTAL PROJECTS COMING OUT OF THIS AT A MINIMUM WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC SPLIT INTO MULTIPLE PROJECTS SO THAT WILL GO A LITTLE BIT IN NUMBER. 36 INCLUDES A LITTLE EXTRA, THEY HAD EXTRA TO MAKE IT 70-30 SO THEY PUT 1.4 MILLION TOWARD THE GENERAL RESIDENTIAL STREET PROJECTS SO ANY OF THESE THAT ARE HIGHER OR LOWER WE CAN COMBINE FUNDS AND COVER PROJECT OR MAKE IT A PROJECT. AGAIN IT IS SPLIT OUT WITH $164.4 MILLION THIS WOULD BE CARRYING US THROUGH 2032, WE THINK. FROM THE NON-INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES SIDE OF THINGS WE HAVE 70.5 MILLION ENCODING TWO FIRE STATIONS, THE TRADING BUILDING MUNICIPAL COURT RENOVATION, SENIOR CENTER EXPANSION , SOME WORK DONE AT THE LIBRARY FOR THE MEETING ROOM AND THE KIDS AREA. THE FOOTBALL TURF, CROSBY RECREATION CENTER EXPANSION, TRAIL FUNDING AND THE NATURE PRESERVE. >> NEXT MEETING WE WILL HAVE AN UPDATE ON PUBLIC SAFETY AS IT RELATES TO THE FIRE STATION FUNDING THEIR FOUR PLUS POTENTIAL STATION NINE THIS INCLUDES NINE? >> LOOKING FIRE STATION A, FIRE STATION NINE OR FIRE STATION FOUR WOULD BE A . THAT WOULD BE PART. AND THE TOP THREE PUBLIC SAFETY CAME BACK SO AS YOU WILL RECALL AS YOU GO AS WELL AS FITNESS AND TRAINING WE HAD EXTRA MONEY THAT WE CAN APPLY TO THIS. THESE ARE THE PROJECTS NOT INCLUDED SO WE KEEP THE LIST OF STREETS GOING. WE DON'T IS PRESENT ONE LIST AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE THINK WE GO RIGHT THEM ALL AND THEY GO RATE THEM AND HELP DECIDE WHICH STREETS AND THERE WAS NON- RESEARCHER PROJECT NOT INCLUDED THE TC RISE. >> NUMBER 37 IS JOSIE NORTHEAST? JOSIE RANCH. JOSIE SOUTH OF SPRINGS IS NOT ON THE PLAN. >> JOSIE RANCH IS A NEIGHBORHOOD OVER HERE. >> UNDERSTAND. >> ANY QUESTIONS? >> WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? >> SAFETY CAN GO BACK TO THE MAP PLEASE? PUBLIC SAFETY, ALL OF THOSE TO MAKE SURE I AM CLEAR , THOSE ARE FIRE STATIONS? >> THE PD TRAINING FACILITY IS NEXT TO -- AND FIRE STATION FOUR THE NORTHEAST WE ARE FAIRLY ACCURATE THAT WILL BE AT THE WATER TOWER ON THE MARSH , FIRE STATION NINE THERE IS A GENERAL AREA WE ARE GOING FOR. >> IS THAT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE WATER TOWER ON THE SAME SIDE? >> ON THE SAME SIDE. >> NORTH OF THE NATURE PRESERVE IN THE PARK. >> GOT IT, THANK YOU. >> OKAY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE BOND? WE ARE LOOKING , DO YOU WANT TO COMMENT ABOUT THE BOND? REMIND US WHAT WE DID BEFORE? >> SURE. IN YOUR GREEN FOLDERS THERE WAS AN EXAMPLE WITH INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE PUBLIC. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR TONIGHT IS AGREEMENT YOU WANT TO GO FORWARD WITH A RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE WE WILL BE BRINGING BACK THE PROPOSITIONS TO DO THE BOND CALLING FIRST MEETING OF FEBRUARY. SO ONCE YOU AGREE A THUMBS-UP TONIGHT THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO GO AND YOU DON'T WANT TO DROP OR ADD ANYTHING, THEN WE GO FORWARD WITH THE BOND ATTORNEY AND CITY ATTORNEY OFFICE AND FINALIZE THE BOND PROPOSITION. SO THEY WILL GO TO THE FEBRUARY 3 MEETING AND THEY WILL START WORKING ON THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT GOES TO THE PUBLIC AND I INCLUDED THE OLD ONE SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. IT WILL BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME, WANT TO POINT OUT LEGISLATURES MADE CHANGES SINCE THE LAST BOND ELECTION SO EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT DESIGNING THE BOND ELECTION TO RAISE THE TAX RATE THE BOND ELECTION WILL SAY
WHEN WE GO FORWARD THIS IS A TAX INCREASE ON EVERY PROPOSITION KIND OF LIKE THE BUDGET IT IS NOT A TAX INCREASE THEN WE HAVE TO SAY THIS IS A TAX RATE INCREASE. THIS WAS DESIGNED AROUND MAINTAINING STABLE DEBT SERVICE TAX RATE, BUT IT IS THE REQUIREMENT OF THE LAW SO WE WILL SAY THAT ON EVERY ELECTION OR EVERY PROPOSITION. ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO POINT OUT IT IS TOUGH FOR PROPOSITIONS TO PASS BECAUSE PEOPLE SEE THAT AND SAY YOUR RAISING TAXES WHETHER YOU ARE OR ARE NOT YOU HAVE TO WRITE THE WORDS SO NOVEMBER WAS NOT A SUCCESSFUL BOND ELECTION SEASON FOR PEOPLE , STREETS IS ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL ALMOST ALWAYS A SUCCESSFUL BOND ELECTION BUT THE OTHER THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL. IT WILL BE UP TO THE COMMUNITY TO DECIDE WHERE THEY WANT TO INVEST THEIR MONEY, THEY WILL HAVE FIVE PROPOSITIONS THAT COME FORWARD, ONE FOR THE STREETS AND ONE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, LIBRARY IS ITS OWN, PARKS IS ITS OWN AND MUNICIPAL COURT IS ITS OWN SO YOU WILL HAVE FIVE AND THEY WILL HAVE FIVE PROPOSITIONS TO VOTE ON AND THEY COULD PICK FIVE OR THREE IT IS UP TO THE VOTERS. >> ISN'T TYPICALLY AND I'M GOING BY MEMORY THE LAST BOND ELECTION WAS MADE? >> THE LAST BOND ELECTION WAS NOVEMBER GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN MAY AND NOVEMBER, MAY IS THE BETTER TIME BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY PAYING FOR ELECTION THE BOND ELECTION AND TIME WHEN YOU'RE NOT PAYING FOR ONE BECAUSE WE ARE IN THREE COUNTIES FOR THE ELECTION BASED ON LOCAT INFORMING VOTERS USUALLY AND YOU ALREADY PAY FOR THE ELECTION. >> WE MANDATE NOVEMBER AND MAY THAT WE DO IT? >> WE GET TO CHOOSE. >> IT IS MEANT FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR WORKING TOWARD THIS. >> EVERY ELECTION TAKES ALMOST ONE YEAR TO DECIDE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO. HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE AVAILABLE WITHOUT RAISING TAX RATES? THAT'S WHAT WE DO IN CARROLLTON, SOME DO NOT THEY SAY WHAT DO WE WANT OR NEED. THEN YOU HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL CITY NEEDS AND THE DIRECTORS WORK WITH ENGINEERING TO WHAT DO THE NEEDS COST? THEN THEY MAKE PRESENTATIONS TO THE COMMITTEE AND THEY START TO RATE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEY RATE ALL THE DIFFERENT , DO PEOPLE WANT MORE LIBRARY SPACE OR SENIOR CITIZEN SPACE, DO PEOPLE WANT MORE COURTS, WHAT DO WE NEED? THERE'S NEVER GOING TO BE ENOUGH MONEY TO BOND ELECTION TO PAY FOR ALL THE THINGS THE CITY NEEDS, IF WE WANTED TO DO ALL INFRASTRUCTURE JONATHAN WOULD BE LOOKING FOR $1 BILLION. WE CANNOT AFFORD THAT. >> SLOW HIS ROLE A LITTLE BIT. >> UNDERSTAND, THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION, THAT IS HELPFUL FOR MYSELF AND FOR THE COMMUNITY. I AM CURIOUS WHAT WERE THE DETERMINING FACTORS OF HAVING THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER AS OPPOSED TO MAKE? >> THIS IS MAY. THIS IS MAY. THIS IS THE LAST TIME, 22. >> CURIOUS TO MAKE SURE SO THE GOAL FOR THE BOND ELECTION IS TO HAVE IT IN MAY INSTEAD OF NOVEMBER. >> WE HAVE BEEN ON TRACK FOR ONE YEAR. >> THE GOAL IS TO HAVE IT IN MAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A DEFINITIVE DOLLAR AMOUNT TO WORK OFF. IT SAVES MONEY FOR THE RESIDENTS AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR ONE YEAR TO COME UP WITH ITEMS. >> THE TIMING IS A YEAR OR SO BEFORE THE OTHER BOND ELECTION IS DEPLETED, YOU WANT TO MOVE THIS DIRECTION SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS. >> THE CITY COUNCIL AS A WHOLE HAS ADOPTED A FINANCIAL POLICY AND THE POLICY IS YOU MAKE YOUR NEXT BOND ELECTION WHEN YOU HAVE ONE OR TWO YEARS OF DEBT YOU CAN ISSUE LEFT. SO WITH MAY WE ARE IN THE SWEET SPOT, IF WE WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER WE WOULD NOT BE IN THE SWEET SPOT SO WE'RE TRYING TO COMPLY WITH POLICY AS WELL BUT IT IS HAVING GOOD NUMBERS, WE WORKED FOR IT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, SAVE MONEY ON THE ELECTION AND WE ARE HOLDING AN ELECTION. >> THIS IS JUST REPRESENTATIVE. SHE WILL HAVE A NEW ONE . WE WILL BE ORDERING THE ELECTION IN THE FIRST MEETING IN FEBRUARY. >> RIGHT AND MY LAST QUESTION AGAIN FOR CLARITY. WHEN PEOPLE SEE WHEN WE HAVE THIS PEOPLE SEE IF IT COMES TO PASS, 235 MILLION ESTIMATED BOND , THAT MONEY IS
EXISTING TAX NOT INCREMENTAL. >> MENTAL TAX RATE. >> IT IS NOT INCREMENTAL TAX RATE WILL BE ABLE TO ISSUE THAT MUCH OVERTIME, NOT ALL AT ONCE SO NOBODY NEEDS TO THING ABOUT THAT AT THE SAME SERVICE RATE WE HAVE TODAY. THAT IS THE TAX CAPACITY. >> FINANCE HAS ALWAYS BROUGHT THE BOND REFERENDUMS FOR CONSIDERATION THAT MAINTAIN THE TAX RATE DOLLARS SO IT IS NOT INTENDED TO HAVE ANY TAX RATE CONDITIONS. WE ALL KNOW APPRAISALS RISE AND FALL , YOU CAN HAVE A TRUE TAX EVEN ON THE TAX RATE WE REDUCE THE RATE AT TIMES BUT SOME EXPERIENCE A TAX INCREASE SO THAT'S WHY IT IS STATED. >> THAT'S WHY IT'S REGULATED I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY WHY WE HAVE TO CONTINUALLY RAISE TAXES EVEN THOUGH THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I UNDERSTAND THAT PART SORT OF. I THINK IT WOULD HELP CLARIFY, EXPLAINING WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM, HOW IT IS BEING ASSESSED WITH THE BOND NEEDS WITH THE BASIS OF THAT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD RESIDENTS AND I'VE HAD CONSTITUENTS COME UP TO US AND SAY WHAT IS 235 MILLION COME FROM? BASIC EASY TO EXPLAIN ANSWER. >> A LITTLE ONE SHEET. >> IN THIS WHERE IT IS SIMPLY PUT AND WE CAN ELABORATE FROM THERE WITH KNOWLEDGE. >> SIMILAR YOU HAVE THE LITTLE MOVIE WHERE DO YOUR TAX DOLLARS COME FROM, YOU CAN HAVE A SIMPLE FLAT VERSION. >> I'M A BILL, JUST A BILL. >> WE CAN DO EXPLANATION OF WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM AND HOW DOES IT WORK WITH ALL THOSE THINGS. LEGALLY WE CANNOT ADVOCATE FOR THE BOND. WE CAN ONLY PROVIDE THE FACTS. >> DETAILS. >> SOMEWHERE IN YOUR CHEAT SHEET CAN YOU PUT THIS IS NOT INCREASED TO THE TAX RATE? >> YOU HAVE TO SAY IT IS INCREASE. >> STATE LAW REQUIRES US TO SAY IT IS INCREASED. >> PERHAPS WITH THE ESTIMATION OF THAT, JUST LIKE WE HAVE HERE NOT SAYING IT WON'T HAPPEN BUT SAYING HERE'S WHERE THE TAX LAW COMES FROM THIS IS WHAT THE RATES ARE BASED ON TO SET THE EXPECTATION SO THAT WAY, PEOPLE KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM AND WHERE IT IS. >> PAC WILL BE FORMED, THE COMMITTEE WILL LEAD AND THAT IS GOOD INPUT FOR THEM TO ADVOCATE TO BASICALLY EXPLAIN AWAY IT IS NOT A TAX INCREASE IN THEIR OWN WORDS NOT USING THOSE WORDS. >> WE WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION, FACTUAL INFORMATION RELATED TO THE BOND ON THE CITY WEBSITE. MAYBE IT'S A MOVIE OR JUST WEBPAGES. WHATEVER THAT RESIDENTS CAN UNDERSTAND AND CONCERNED RESIDENTS WHO WANT TO ADVOCATE FOR DIFFERENT PIECES OF THE BOND BECAUSE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE INTERESTED IN DIFFERENT THINGS, SOME PEOPLE REALLY LIKE PARKS, SOME LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY, SOME PEOPLE WANT THE ROADS REPLACED. SO INDIVIDUAL GROUPS CAN GO OUT AND ADVOCATE FOR WHATEVER THEY WANT. >> THERE WILL BE A PR CAMPAIGN SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF BEING ABLE TO BRING NOTICE TO THE BOND AS WELL PROVIDE INFORMATION WILL NOT PROVIDE A PR CAMPAIGN, THE INDIVIDUAL PAC WOULD. >> THEY CAN DRIVE TRAFFIC TO THE SITE TO GET MORE INFORMATION. >> THEY WILL LIKELY HAVE A WEBSITE. >> OUR MARKETING TEAM WILL PUT OUT INFORMATION JUST LIKE THEY DO WITH ANY OTHER CITY INITIATIVE WE HAVE AND THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHERE THEY CAN GO TO GET INFORMATION. >> IT WOULD BE THE LAST COMMENT INTERESTING TO SEE WHEN WE GET THERE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE WITH WHAT INFORMATION IS PUT OUT FROM THE CITY AND IF THERE ARE ADVOCATES TO AT LEAST BE AWARE OF WHAT ADVOCATES ARE DOING. >> WHEN WE ORDER THE ELECTION WE WILL HAVE SOME INFORMATION , BUT WHEN TYPICALLY DO YOU HAVE THIS DONE? >> DO HAVE A CALENDAR? >> FOR CITIZENS FOLLOWING IT UP DURING THE FALL CAMPAIGN CYCLE HOWEVER THEY FEEL TO COMMUNICATE. >> I WILL REMIND EVERYBODY IN DECEMBER OUR CHAIR CAME AND WORKED WITH JONATHAN TO PRESENT ALL THE DETAILS. SO ANYBODY LIKE ME WHO HAS GOTTEN RUSTY A
REFRESHER IS ALWAYS GOOD. >> GOOD, ANYWAY LOOKING FOR CONSENSUS. ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY WHAT THE COMMITTEE HAS BROUGHT FORWARD, TO YOUR POINT WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE, NOT ONLY THE CHAIR, BUT THE ENTIRE COMMITTEE, IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK AND THEY PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO IT. OKAY, THANK YOU. COUNCIL THAT TAKES US TO OUR LAST WORK SESSION ITEM WHICH IS INFORMATION SHARING AND THEN WE WILL GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION SO I WILL ASK THAT WE BE COGNIZANT OF WHAT HAS BEEN SAID WITH NO REASON TO REPEAT IN THE INTEREST OF TIME SO WE HAVE TIME SO I WILL START WITH THE MAYOR PRO TEM. >> THANK YOU.

THE PROPERTY WILL REMAIN THE SAME WITH NO ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS ADDED. NO EXPANSION WITH NO ADDITIONAL STUDENTS. WITH NO ADDITION OF ANY KIND ON THE SITE, THEY WILL STILL HAVE TWO ADHERE TO THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS PROVIDED WHERE THE PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY REZONED SO THAT IS THE ONLY CHANGE THEIR WANTING TO MAKE.

NATHAN GRIFFIN IS HERE FROM FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH AND I THINK THE DIRECTOR EXPLAINED WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, WE WILL BE CREATING A FIRE RATED WALL IN THE BREEZEWAY SINCE WE WILL HAVE A ZERO LOT LINE AND OTHER THAN THAT NOTHING IS CHANGING SO WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION AND WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?

SPECIFICALLY THE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PARK AND ACCESS SHALL BE SHARED BETWEEN TRACTS ONE AND TWO FOR THE APPROVED TIA TO ENSURE PROPERTIES REMAIN SHARING THAT PARKING AND CIRCULATION ON-SITE DESPITE SPLITTING THE LOTS. >> THE APPROVAL OF THE CASE IT INCLUDES THE STIPULATION CALLING THAT OUT FOR BENEFIT. >> FOR YOUR BENEFIT AND TO MAKE PART OF THE MOTION SINCE IT WAS NOT APPROVED THAT WAY ORIGINALLY.

THERE ARE SEVERAL COMMENT CARDS PART OF THE AGENDA PACKET THAT WERE PART OF PLANNING AND ZONING WE DON'T TYPICALLY REREAD THOSE INTO THE RECORD BUT THEY ARE PART OF THE PACK. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, THAT IS ALL I HAVE. >> WITH NO OTHER LIGHTS I WILL CALL THE VOTE. THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY, CONGRATULATIONS. THAT IT TAKES US TO ITEM NUMBER 19 TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ON AN APPROXIMATELY 17.2-ACRE TRACT ZONED (LR-2) LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT AND (SUP-416), ORDINANCE NO. 3634, ALLOW A TO THE RETAIL STORE IN EXCESS OF 75,000 SQUARE FEET; TO ALLOW OUTSIDE PROVIDE CONCEPT PLANS; AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY. CASE NO. PLZ 2025-182 NORTH EAST CORNER OF PARKER ROAD AND JOSEY LANE VERY EXCITING, MR. SCHAPIRO. >> YEAH, SO THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED STRAIGHT LR 2 LOCAL RETAIL WITH SEP GRANTING A GAS STATION ON IT, THAT ZONING WITH THE SEP AND ANNEXATION OCCURRED IN THE SAME NIGHT IN AUGUST IN AUGUST 2014. WHAT THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO DO IS THEY WILL ESTABLISH A PUD TO ALLOW BY RIGHT A LARGE RETAILER THAT EXCEEDS 75,000 FT.÷ TYPICALLY REQUIRING SEP, BUT WITH A LARGER GROCER DOING THE PD THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT, ADDITIONALLY, THE MASTER PLAN HAS A CAR WASH AS WELL AS A FUEL STATION. ON ONE TRACK, THE TRACK OUT ON THE LEFT ON JOSEY LANE, THE OTHER TRACK, TRACK B IS 110 PARKING SPACES WHICH WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR EMPLOYEE PARKING TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS PARKING FOR THE PATRONS THAT GO TO THE GROCERY STORE. SIGNIFICANT PARKING IS NECESSARY FOR THIS TYPE OF GROCER AS IS COMMONPLACE THROUGHOUT WHERE THEY HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE METROPLEX, NAMELY. DUE TO THAT, THEY HAVE SOME RELIEF AS FAR AS WHERE LANDSCAPE STANDARDS GO, AS WELL AS PARKING. WE HAVE A CEILING TO THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES ALLOWED AND WE FEEL IT IS APPROPRIATE TO ALLOW THE ADDITIONAL PARKING, OVER 600 SPACES BECAUSE OF THE DEMAND AND NECESSITY TO ATTRACT PATRONS. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ON THE SITE IS LANDSCAPE ISLANDS, YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THEM WITHIN THE MAIN PART OF THE PARKING AREA MOVED LITTLE BIT FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BUILDING AND THE REASON BEING THE CROSSHATCH AREA IS WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE OUTSIDE DISPLAY WITH A HAVE A LOT OF PLANS AND FRUITS. THEY ARE DOING THAT TO ENSURE NO BIRDS OR THERE IS NO IMPACT OF PRODUCE SET ASIDE AND IN ADDITION THEY WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO HAVE FOUNDATION PLANTINGS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY WILL HAVE PLANTINGS OUT THERE SO FOR THAT REASON THEY WILL HAVE
20% OUTSIDE DISPLAY INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 5% AND THAT IS PRETTY TYPICAL FOR OTHER HEB'S IN THE AREA. THEY WILL , HOWEVER, PROVIDE OR THEY HAVE PROVIDED SUFFICIENT STACKING AND THIS SHOULD BE POINTED OUT FOR THE CARWASH, AS WELL AS THE PHARMACY THAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THE BARBECUE OR RESTAURANT ON THE LEFT SIDE AND YOU WILL NOTICE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE NEAR THE BUILDING THAT IS FOR PATRONS FOR PICKUP AREAS FOR GROCERS SO THEY PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PARKING AND AREAS FOR THEM TO PICK UP GROCERIES SO THEY BE ORDERING ONLINE. THE NEXT THING IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE WHILE HAVING SOME RELIEF THEY WILL PROVIDE CANOPY TREES ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE PROPERTY BOTH ALONG JOSEY LANE AND PARKER ROAD. THERE ARE POWER LINES WITH SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR TREES TO GROW NAMELY ALONG PARKER ROAD. IN ADDITION TO THAT, BECAUSE OF THE ADJACENCY TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY TO THE NORTH AS WELL AS THE STORAGE AREAS, THEY ARE ALL BEHIND THE BUILDING BUT THE APPLICANT WILL PROVIDE A 12 FOOT WALL TO SCREEN STORAGE, BUT NO LESS THAN 8 FEET TALL, THROUGHOUT TO BE MAINTAINED SO THE IDEA IS IT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SCREENING FOR BOTH STORAGE AREAS AND FOR THE ON-SITE ON THE PROPERTY. FINALLY THEY HAVE PROVIDED CONCEPTUAL ELEVATIONS OF WHAT THE GROCERY STORE WILL LOOK LIKE, SO THEY WILL GO WITH ONE OR SIMILAR SAMPLES OF ELEVATION ON THE SITE. I HAVE TOM HAMMONS HERE TO KIND OF PRESENT INFORMATION REGARDING TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS WE DID RECEIVE AND REVIEW AND MITIGATION ON THE SITE. >> OKAY, THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING MANAGER. WE DID COMPLETE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR THE PROJECT , AS A RESULT OF THE ANALYSIS WORKING WITH HEB THEY HAVE PROPOSED TO CONSTRUCT THREE TURN BAYS INTO THEIR SITE WHICH WOULD BE , THERE IS TWO TURN BAY IT WILL BE CONSTRUCTING ON PARKER . THANK YOU, THERE WE GO. FOR THE WESTBOUND TRAFFIC BOTH DRIVEWAYS ON PARKER AND THEY TURNED BAY ON NORTHBOUND JOSEY LANE JUST NORTH OF PARKER ROAD. IN ADDITION TO THAT THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO AGREED TO CONSTRUCT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE ON PARKER. IN ADDITION TO THE WORK THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS AGREED TO DO THE INTERSECTION OF PARKER AND JOSEY LANE IS HEAVILY CONGESTED. ONCE THE PROJECT IS APPROVED WE WILL HAVE ALL THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WE NEED AT THE INTERSECTION WITH THE RIGHT TURN BAY AND LEFT TURN BAY EACH APPROACH AT THAT POINT WE WILL WORK WITH TXDOT AS PARKER ROAD IS PLAT 44 WE WILL WORK WITH TXDOT AND TRY TO DETERMINE WHICH ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS WE CAN ADD THAT WILL IMPROVE TRAFFIC AT THIS INTERSECTION AND WE HAVE THAT AS THEY ARE BUILDING THEIR PROJECT WE KNOW WE HAVE A VERY HEAVILY CONGESTED INTERSECTION TODAY AS IT IS THAT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WE NEED AND WE WILL WORK TO DEVELOP THE IMPROVEMENTS MOST NEEDED AND COST-EFFECTIVE AND HAVE THOSE DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND WITH THAT HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. >> PARKER ROAD IS TXDOT MAINTAINED WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM. >> ONE OTHER THING TO BRING UP IS TO GET THE SIGNAL AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE FOR HEB, TXDOT HAS BEEN EASILY SAID YOU NEED TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE SIGNAL AT PARKER AND LR 2 WHICH WE DO NOT CURRENTLY CONTROL IT IS TXDOT CONTROLLED SO WE WILL BE TAKING OVER THAT SIGNAL, THE OPERATIONS TO COORDINATE THE SIGNALS TOGETHER. >> PARKER AND JOSEY LANE AND THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE EAST? >> IF THEY'RE OPERATING ONE SIGNAL AND WE'RE OPERATING THE OTHER SO WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM, SOME IMPROVEMENTS WE NEED TO HAVE MADE TO THE SIGNAL SO WE WILL WORK WITH THEM TO GET THAT TRANSFER MADE. >> COUNCIL, VERY EXCITING DEVELOPMENT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, MR. SHAPIRO OR -- OKAY
YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT WITH THE APPLICANT LIKE TO MAKE A STATEMENT? MR. ROSE? >> GOOD EVENING IF I START COUGHING PLEASE FORGIVE ME I BEEN FIGHTING SOMETHING, PROBABLY ALLERGIES, MY WIFE IS HEALTHY SO NOT SOMETHING COMMUNICABLE. WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT WITH YOU ALL. WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME LOOKING AT THIS, YOU MAY RECALL WE WERE HERE ABOUT 11 YEARS AGO. I GOT IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, BUT YOU ALL STILL WORKED WITH US ON THIS SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN TONIGHT. WE HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THE SITE , WE THINK IT IS A GREAT SITE. EXCITED TO BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY AS WAS PRESENTED, MR. SHAPIRO DID A GREAT JOB PRESENTING. HIGHER THAN AVERAGE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND ON A SATURDAY WE WILL KEEP THAT PARKING LOT FILLED UP. WE WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE CARS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PARKING SPACES PEOPLE START STOCKING PARKING SPACES IT CLOGS UP AND CAUSES PEOPLE TO MAYBE SOMETIMES GET INTO THE PUBLIC ROADWAY WHICH IS SOMETHING WE DON'T WANT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF CUSTOMERS AND NEIGHBORS SO WE WANTED TO PUT A SIGNAL IN HERE SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GREAT AS OPPORTUNITY AS POSSIBLE TO GET PEOPLE OUT SAFELY SO WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL I AM HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND HAVE THE GUY WHO IS SMARTER THAN ME OVER HERE TO ANSWER. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT OR ENGINEERING STAFF IN SUPPORT OF THIS? COUNCILMEMBER CLINE. >> CAN YOU SHOW ME THE OPENINGS ON JOSEY? TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SECOND DRIVEWAY ON THE NORTH HAS A MEDIAN WHERE IT IS ACROSS FROM I THINK STARBUCKS. >> THAT STRICTLY WOULD BE RIGHT IN AND OUT. >> WE GO TO THE FOR THE DRIVE WHICH IS FULL MOVEMENT, BUT WE EXPECT PRIMARILY GOING INTO THE MAIN DRIVE IT IS RIGHT IN AND WRITE OUT. >> QUESTION FOR STAFF ABOUT 544 AND HOW IT WOULD IMPACT , FOR THE FIRST DRIVEWAY EAST OF JOSEY, THAT OPENING HAS A LEFT TURN IN AND RIGHT TURN IN? >> WITH THE ARROW THAT IS RIGHT IN , WRITE OUT. >> NOT A MEDIAN OPENING THAT IS A RIGHT. >> THE DRAWING IS HARD. >> THANK YOU. >> TO BE CLEAR THE TOP ON THE PAGE THE TOP ENTRY OFF OF JOSEY HAS LEFT AND RIGHT ENTRY BASED ON THE MEDIAN CUT THAT EXIST AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT WITH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IS LEFT IN AND RIGHT ENTRY EVERYTHING IS RIGHT IN AND OUT. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER AND MAYOR PRO TEM AXBERG? >> THANK YOU. YOU WERE CLARIFYING THE FIRST ONE THAT YOU MENTIONED , THAT HAS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT ACCESSING NOT JUST THE LIGHT BUT THE SECOND CAN YOU POINT THAT OUT ONE MORE TIME? TOP LEFT. THAT ENTRY WILL HAVE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. >> THAT IS MEDIAN CUT. EXISTING MEDIAN CUT. >> THE NEW PROPOSED LIGHT THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO ACCESS POINTS LEFT AND RIGHT ACCESS IN AND OUT? >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> MY LAST QUESTION IS, SIX LANES ACROSS AND I AM SPEAKING OF JOSEY AND PARKER , THE JOSEY IS SIX LANES ACROSS WITH TWO TURN LANES CORRECT? TURNING LEFT SOUTHBOUND YOU HAVE TWO TURNING LANES? OR JUST ONE? >> SOUTHBOUND JOSEY AT PARKER IS CURRENTLY SINGLE LEFT TURN LANE. THE ULTIMATE BUILDOUT IT WILL BE DUAL LEFT AND NORTHBOUND , JOSEY AT PARKER WILL BE DUAL LEFT AND RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR A RIGHT TURN BAY. TRAFFIC MOVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GROCERY STORE ARE NOT PARTICULAR HIGH AT THE MOVEMENTS SO IT IS NOT
SOMETHING REASONABLE PROPORTIONAL TO REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER TO BUILD, PROVIDING ENOUGH RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT WE WILL HAVE ROOM TO BUILD THE LANES NECESSARY AT THE INTERSECTION SO THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL WORK WITH TXDOT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT. BASED ON THE TRAFFIC WE HAVE NOW WE KNOW IT IS VERY CONGESTED, HOW CAN WE MAKE IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT WE WILL NOW HAVE. >> I ALSO HEARD YOU SAY THE GOAL WITH TXDOT AND I UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE CITY 'S RESPONSIBILITY, THE GOAL WITH TXDOT IS TO ADDRESS THAT DEVELOPMENT EITHER IN PARALLEL WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ZONE? >> YES ESSENTIALLY WE HAVE TIME IF THIS GETS APPROVED TONIGHT WE HAVE , I WILL LET YOU DETERMINE. LET'S JUST SAY TWO YEARS WHILE THEY BUILD THEIR PROJECT , WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE IN PARALLEL WITH ANY IMPROVEMENTS WE MAKE AT THE INTERSECTION, WE ARE DOING THOSE AT THE SAME TIME SO WE ARE DOING PLANNING AND WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE THEM OPEN TO HAVE A RUSH OF PEOPLE AND HAVE US IMMEDIATELY GO UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITH A TURN BAY. >> IF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING COMES TO FRUITION THE WAY YOU ARE DESCRIBING THEN THE DEVELOPMENT AND AGAIN THE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE LIGHTS , THE TURN LANE EXPANSION FOR THE TRAFFIC SHOULD BE NOT NECESSARILY TAKE TWO YEARS OR THE SAME AMOUNT THAT IT WOULD TAKE THE DEVELOPMENT? >> THAT'S OUR GOAL. THE PROJECTS WE ARE DOING ARE NOT EXTREMELY COMPLICATED. OTHER THAN MOVING UTILITIES WHICH COULD TAKE A LOT OF TIME, BUT OTHER THAN THAT THEY ARE NOT PARTICULARLY LOCATED SO WE WANT TO BE AHEAD OF ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT HAPPENS AT THE GROCERY STORE SITE. >> SO, THE SUPPLY TRUCKS AND ALL OF THE ENTRANCE WILL BE ON THE NORTH END OF THE ENTRANCE , SO YOU KNOW FOR THE BIGGER TRUCKS , IN 18 WHEELERS , THEY WILL BRING SUPPLIES IN AND THAT'S COMING THROUGH EXCLUSIVELY ON THE NORTH SIDE? >> THE APPLICANT WILL TELL YOU IN DETAIL BUT UNDERSTANDING IS YOU CAN SEE THE DOCS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING POINTING TO THE WEST, THE TRUCK WOULD COME AROUND BACK UP AND UNLOAD , THEY WOULD USE THE NORTH DRIVEWAY THEY TAKE A RIGHT AND GO TOWARD 121. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER CLINE. >> QUESTION FOR STAFF ABOUT THE POSSIBLE LANDSCAPING OF PARKER ROAD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TXDOT . IT WAS A COUNCIL ITEM A SUMMER AND A HALF AGO WHERE STAFF WOULD BE WORKING WITH TXDOT TO PUT PLANTS AND IRRIGATION IN POSSIBLY. >> I REMEMBER THE GREEN RIBBON PROGRAM WITH TXDOT SO WE DID WORK THROUGH THE INITIAL LOOK AT WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE , AS WELL AS THE COST WE PARTNERED WITH THE ADDITIONAL COST OUTSIDE OF LANDSCAPING WATER UTILITIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT DID NOT FIT THE WORK PLAN AND TXDOT LOOKED TO APPROVE FOR FUTURE YEARS SO IT IS STILL SITTING AND WAITING FOR A WORKPLAN AND SCHEDULE. >> ANY WORK WITH TXDOT IS NOT PART OF THIS AGENDA ITEM IS FUTURE IT DOES NOT PRECLUDE ANY OF THAT SO WE ARE EXPLORING DIFFERENT AVENUES WITH TXDOT, TO ADDRESS KIND OF THESE ENHANCEMENTS AS REQUIRED. >> I THINK MY QUESTION IS FOR THE ENGINEER OF THE PROJECT. CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE WALL THAT IS GOING TO BE SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY AND WHAT THE NOISE OFFER SITUATION WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR RESIDENTS THAT ARE UP AGAINST SAY THE FIELD STATION AND I BELIEVE THAT'S GOING TO BE THE CARWASH? >> I AM ALSO AN ENGINEER. I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO TECHNICAL BUT ANYTIME YOU MAKE NOISE IS BASICALLY VIBRATIONS WOULD TRY TO PUT AS MUCH MASS IN BETWEEN ANYTHING THAT MAKES NOISE AND THE NEIGHBORS SO THAT'S WHY WE PREFER TO BE 12 FEET TALL BEHIND THE BUILDING BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF NOISE. BECAUSE THE CARWASH IS CONTAINED INSIDE THE CINDERBLOCK BUILDING AND WE WILL HAVE A 8 FOOT WALL ON THE OTHER SIDE I WOULD PREFER NOT TO DO IT AS A
12 FOOT WALL, I WILL IF IT'S SOMETHING INTERESTING TO THE CITY BUT I WOULD PREFER NOT TO BECAUSE ANYTIME WE DO 12 FOOT WALL WHEN YOU HAVE A SMALLER BACKYARD THAT'S A PRETTY MASSIVE AREA SO WE WANT TO TRY TO MINIMIZE WHERE WE DO IT BUT IF THAT IS WHAT COUNCIL BELIEVES IS THE APPROPRIATE APPROACH WE ARE HAPPY TO DO THAT. >> SORRY DOES THE WALL ALSO EXTEND TO THE PROPERTY TO THE FAR RIGHT THAT IS THE OPEN FIELD? >> I BELIEVE THAT'S COMMERCIAL PROPERTY SO WE WON'T BE PUTTING ANYTHING THERE UNTIL SOMETHING IS BUILT. >> REMINDER TO THE RIGHT IF WE LOOK AT THE TOP LEFT, THE TOP LEFT OF JOSEY, THE WALL EXTENDING TO THE EAST BEHIND THE STORE WHERE DOES IT GO FROM EIGHT, 12 FEET TO 8 FEET? >> LET ME SEE IF I CAN MAKE THIS WORK. BASICALLY THE AREA WHERE YOU SEE THE TRUCK DOCKS ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE WE WOULD START AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT. >> OVER TO THE RIGHT COMES SOUTH THE WELCOME SOUTH. >> 8 FOOT WALL ALL THE WAY DOWN >> THEN IT TURNS BY THE GAS STATION TO THE EAST. >> ALL OF THAT IS 8 FEET. >> THE WALL STOPS AT THE OPEN FIELD WITH A DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT LA FITNESS. >> IT IS COMMERCIAL AND WE DON'T LIKE WALLS BETWEEN US AND OTHER COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. >> OKAY THANK YOU. >> OKAY I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING SO THE APPLICANT WANTS TO HAVE A SEAT WE WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. I DO HAVE A FEW CARDS TO SPEAK I WILL START WITH JASON LEE. NOT GOING TO SPEAK BUT IS IN SUPPORT.

SONIA ABRAHAM AND I AM A JUNIOR AT HEBRON HIGH SCHOOL, I SPENT THE LAST 10 YEARS LIVING IN CARROLLTON AND I'M PROUD TO CALL THIS CITY HOME, CARROLLTON IS A COMMUNITY THAT VALUES FAMILY, ONE THAT OFFERS STRONG SCHOOLS SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS AND MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW BECAUSE OF THAT COMMITMENT I BELIEVE IT IS ESSENTIAL WE ALSO CREATE INTENTIONAL SPACE FOR YOUTH VOICES TO BE HEARD THAT IS WHY I'M HERE TODAY TO PROPOSE THE CREATION OF A CARROLLTON YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL NOW CARROLLTON IS A PREMIER PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY AND WITH THAT COMES RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOUNG PEOPLE FEEL INVESTED IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY WILL SOON INHERIT, YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL WOULD ACT AS A BODY OF UNSTRUCTURED INPUT TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON ISSUES AFFECTING YOUNG RESIDENTS PROMOTING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND SUPPORTING YOUTH FOCUSED POLICY AND COMMUNITY INITIATIVES, THIS PROPOSAL OFFERS THREE KEY BENEFITS, FIRST IT BUILDS LIFELONG CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AMONG YOUTH RESEARCH FROM THE CENTER FOR INFORMATION AND RESEARCH ON CIVIC LEARNING SHOWS YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE DISENGAGED WITH 60% NOT FEELING QUALIFIED ENOUGH TO PARTICIPATE IT IS PERTINENT HERE IN TEXAS WHICH HAS SOME OF THE LOWEST VOTER TURNOUT AMONG YOUTH, CRUCIAL FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERING DOUBLE STUDY SHOW A LINK BETWEEN CIVIC PARTICIPATION AND GRADES AND CAREER PROGRESS. YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL WOULD GIVE STUDENTS CLEAR AND CONSTRUCTIVE AVENUE TO PARTICIPATE IN GLOBAL GOVERNMENT, SECOND THIS WOULD SUPPORT LEADERSHIP AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT AMONG YOUTH, COUNCILMEMBERS WOULD BE GETTING FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE INTO OPERATIONS OF GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS WHICH IS CRUCIAL CONSIDERING THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS IN CARROLLTON ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED THERE FOR THIS PROGRAM WOULD GIVE THEM KEY OPPORTUNITIES THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS OTHERWISE ESPECIALLY AREAS WHERE NETWORKS HAVE BEEN IMPORTANT SUCH AS GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS NOW FINALLY THIS WOULD LEAVE SOLUTIONS FOR YOUTH FOCUSED ISSUES, YOUNG RESIDENTS EXPERIENCED THE CITY DIFFERENTLY THAN ADULTS SO BY QUITTING YOUTH PERSPECTIVES THE CITY WILL GAIN INSIGHT INTO ISSUES RECREATION TRANSPORTATION MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AND SCHOOL COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS LEADING TO MORE INFORMED AND BETTER DECISION-MAKING. IMPLEMENTATION IS SIMPLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE, REALISTICALLY THIS PROPOSAL WOULD COST ZERO DOLLARS TO IMPLEMENT CONSIDERING WE WOULD USE EXISTING CITY RESOURCES AND FACILITIES MEETINGS AND THE COUNCIL WOULD BE CONSISTING OF 15 TO 20 STUDENTS WHO LIVE IN CARROLLTON SELECTED THROUGH OPEN APPLICATION PROCESS SERVING NONBINDING ADVISORY ROLE CONSIDERING OVER 45 CITIES WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS INCLUDING LOUISVILLE HAVE A LIMITED SUCH , I BELIEVE CARROLLTON WOULD BE NEXT UP TO SEE BEN ITS POSITION AS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY PERFECT COMMUNITY FOR CIVIC LEARNING AND YOUTH.

YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> 1839 A RUNDLE DRIVE AND I WILL KEEP THIS BRIEF. STILL DEALING WITH THE SAME SITUATION WITH NEIGHBORING PROPERTY 1841 A RUNDLE DRIVE . WE SPENT ANOTHER HOLIDAY SEASON WATCHING PEOPLE COMING AND GOING FROM THOSE UNITS, THEY ARE NOT ADVERTISING THEM ON AIRBNB, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE ADVERTISING SO IMAGINE WHERE THEY ARE GETTING THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE TO COME STAY IN THOSE UNITS. YOU HAVE ALREADY ALLOWED THEM TO CREATE THOSE UNIT DOORS FACING OUR PROPERTY . YOU ALLOW THEM TO CLOSE IN THAT PROPERTY WITH THEIR FRIENDS. FOR SOME REASON WHEN YOU GUYS GO CHECK ON IT , THEY HAVE THE ENTIRE GATE OPEN AND ALL THE VEHICLES ARE GONE SO IT SEEMS KIND OF WEIRD. WHEN WE TELL YOU THERE SOMETHING GOING ON AND IT IS COMPLETELY EMPTY , JUST THIS PAST THESE PAST WEEKS
THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR COUPLES THAT STAYED IN THOSE UNITS. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GETTING THE PEOPLE FROM, SOMETIMES THEY ARE PEOPLE WE HAD SEEN PREVIOUSLY A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THEN THEY COME BACK AGAIN AND RENT IT OUT FOR A WEEK OR TWO, THIS PAST WEEK I'M SORRY THERE WAS A COUPLE THAT STAYED IN UNIT TWO FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, AFTER THAT THEY SHOWED THE UNIT AGAIN ON SUNDAY TO ANOTHER COUPLE. THEY DID NOT END UP STAYING , BUT ANOTHER PERSON CAME THE FOLLOWING DAY WHICH WE HAVE SEETHING INCOME AND STAY IN THE UNIT SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM BUT THIS IS NO LONGER SINGLE-FAMILY HOME , THIS PROPERTY WILL NEVER OCCUPY A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, THIS PROPERTY SITS IN A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME DISTRICT. I REALLY NEED YOU GUYS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS UNFAIR FOR ME AND MY FAMILY THIS IS NOT A HOME I WANT TO PASS DOWN TO MY KIDS OR GRANDCHILDREN AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF YOU WILL. AGAIN THIS IS ANOTHER HOLIDAY WE SPENT WATCHING PEOPLE COMING AND GOING, NOTHING CHANGES THEY JUST STOPPED ADVERTISING ON AIRBNB THAT IS IT. >> OKAY COUNCIL I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS. WITH
