1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,240
It is 16 and Monday, March 4th, we have a quorum, and we are going to start up our

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,240
most of the council's workshop session. First up is discussion of the regular agenda items and

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,420
incentive items. As we've jumped,

4
00:00:23,530 --> 00:00:29,650
we've got invocation, council member Kate. I'll be doing

5
00:00:29,650 --> 00:00:40,000
of the pledges, we have a coordination, we have a board of an evil-scout rank, a presentation

6
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,340
of the excellent and libraries awards.

7
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:45,760
This is the first one, the award.

8
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:50,680
We've done it actually back in the day, we used to do, but this is the first time we've

9
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,400
based on a very manual process.

10
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,420
Now, we have the digital, and we've decided we're going to switch this to every year.

11
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,500
But I could tell you, if we applied every year, we would...

12
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:01,440
Oh, I know we can, I know we can, because we have such an amazing library.

13
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,380
So, well, I'm excited to have Carol and I'm going to move with showcase our library.

14
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:11,200
Next up, I don't even want to continue public hearing

15
00:01:13,820 --> 00:01:15,480
questions on that.

16
00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:22,220
Movable deed restrictions.

17
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,020
E3.

18
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:37,500
Thank you.

19
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:38,580
Thank you.

20
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:41,120
I wanted to, Richard, give you guys a little bit more background.

21
00:01:41,740 --> 00:01:46,580
There were some, there were some members of the public who had come to the PNC meeting with

22
00:01:46,580 --> 00:01:48,460
some comments and I wanted to give you some background.

23
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:49,700
Thank you, Richard.

24
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:57,640
Yes, those residents had concerns about traffic on Josie Lane, which is built to accommodate very high traffic volumes.

25
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,780
And a lot of that traffic is coming from other areas, not just those built.

26
00:02:02,380 --> 00:02:06,860
But they also had to sort of about just the loss of open space generally in that area.

27
00:02:07,260 --> 00:02:09,680
But to give you a little bit of background on this property.

28
00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:14,080
The school district owns this and they'll be developing the new middle school and the northern part.

29
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:18,560
But they are, you know, the southern part is extra part of that only need for that school.

30
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:29,240
So they put that out to bid, staff received numerous meetings and inquiries from developers for multi-family.

31
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,300
And of course, staffs, you know, pretty much all they gave them a hard no on that.

32
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,940
They would not support that, but there was an extreme amount of interest.

33
00:02:38,540 --> 00:02:44,200
We feel very, very fortunate to have a developer come forth to do residential.

34
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:50,260
That is what, that was the message that we wanted to drive home that we really wanted.

35
00:02:50,620 --> 00:02:57,920
Residential would be the highest and best use based on the current needs and based on our long-wage plans here in Louisville.

36
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,220
We were even prepared for maybe even some town homes in the development.

37
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,080
We did want there to be a good number of single families.

38
00:03:05,140 --> 00:03:06,240
That's what's coming forward.

39
00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:13,620
There's also a tremendous amount of park land being dedicated to dedicating over nine acres of public park land

40
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:17,200
in that there will be about nine acres of private open space that will have a recreation

41
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,460
easement on top of that that we can run a future trails.

42
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:27,820
This development will also be set back about 350 feet from Josie because of the location

43
00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:30,500
of the creek that feeds into Indian Creek.

44
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,720
So it will have the feel of being more open and it will be as tight as some of the other

45
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,100
subdivisions in that area.

46
00:03:37,860 --> 00:03:41,640
About 38% of the development is going to be dedicated to open space.

47
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,800
So, they're providing a lot of infrastructure, a lot of amenities of, you know, along with these

48
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,640
135 homes.

49
00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:50,720
I had a question.

50
00:03:52,020 --> 00:03:57,760
So, this is the proposed learning as the estate townhouse, residential.

51
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,840
But did I see somewhere that it said that the lots are going to be 50 feet wide?

52
00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:04,420
Yes.

53
00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:05,180
Okay.

54
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:10,320
So, the product looks more like just a regular single-family home because they're attached

55
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:17,500
So why is this not just the SF designation? What's the difference?

56
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,300
Of course, we're always in any PD. We have to have a base district in that ETH does give a little bit more flexibility.

57
00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:26,540
Kind of more closely resembles what they're doing.

58
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,120
Certainly throughout the majority of that subdivision.

59
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:37,040
Again, it's really the concept that's attached that drives what's being built.

60
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,120
I think a good comparison to Castle Hills, a lot of those neighborhoods, are have the

61
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,500
base district of ETH.

62
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:51,040
It's just a common commonly used base district for a lot of neighborhoods for that

63
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:51,860
type of product.

64
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,280
Okay, I was just curious if it hasn't been able to do any of the dimensions of the

65
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:58,760
lots or some reason, because I'm kind of a part of it.

66
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,240
I'm kind of a part of it.

67
00:04:59,320 --> 00:04:59,920
I'm kind of a part of it.

68
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,580
Yeah, it's just a little bit better fit for what they're proposing.

69
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:10,890
Sounds like sounds like a really great product.

70
00:05:10,890 --> 00:05:11,570
I

71
00:05:27,030 --> 00:05:31,210
have a G5 economic development with Western tech systems.

72
00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:34,350
This was discussed in Council back.

73
00:05:34,530 --> 00:05:36,810
I think in September, time frame.

74
00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:45,690
Item six, occupational health services,

75
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,180
item seven,

76
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:52,540
joint election services,

77
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:02,230
monthly use agreement with the city,

78
00:06:02,370 --> 00:06:04,430
and tech stock with our clock safety.

79
00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:18,860
For this area, they were actually having,

80
00:06:19,180 --> 00:06:22,400
they were grumbling because the rules on their roads,

81
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,600
they can retain the information,

82
00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:29,970
the conversations that they're trying to figure that out,

83
00:06:30,170 --> 00:06:35,310
specifically in TTA, part of that was that they can retain the camera information.

84
00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:38,730
So there's definitely a very important,

85
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:42,470
I don't have a Mason flaw.

86
00:06:49,130 --> 00:06:56,210
H9, alternative standards regarding setbacks, layouts, private locations, it's streetscape for

87
00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:04,330
me.

88
00:07:04,370 --> 00:07:09,730
I was going to say Richard, I appreciate in this packet that you put all the developments together

89
00:07:09,730 --> 00:07:14,410
I was reading the text and I was trying to figure out how to visualize it.

90
00:07:14,610 --> 00:07:15,970
I really appreciate the visual.

91
00:07:16,290 --> 00:07:17,170
Thank you.

92
00:07:18,010 --> 00:07:18,450
You're welcome.

93
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:28,500
I'm ending the piece schedule, and this is the follow-through garbage collection

94
00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:29,300
conversation.

95
00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:38,150
I'm 11 second reading of the Songway Waste Collection to dispose of a grant,

96
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:43,890
walk in parallel.

97
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:49,490
We have a quarterly investment report as part of the packet information, so if you want

98
00:07:49,490 --> 00:07:53,650
to see how that information is going, council and staff reports.

99
00:07:53,650 --> 00:07:55,890
Do we have any close session?

100
00:07:55,950 --> 00:07:56,110
Yes.

101
00:07:56,670 --> 00:07:56,930
Okay.

102
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,730
So no close session at this time.

103
00:07:59,590 --> 00:08:01,930
The note or questions or comments for current in the agenda.

104
00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:07,130
We're going to go ahead and move on to item B for food insecurity funding.

105
00:08:07,390 --> 00:08:10,630
And for those grant two boys and girls club of greater term count.

106
00:08:11,050 --> 00:08:12,870
Ash afferent is going to present.

107
00:08:13,450 --> 00:08:13,490
Yeah.

108
00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:20,490
So little history going back to 2021.

109
00:08:20,490 --> 00:08:26,450
I'm sad for that it took so the flutter of funding that was coming in during the response to COVID.

110
00:08:26,870 --> 00:08:35,350
But we were noticing some gaps in that funding specifically for mortgage assistance for residents that were above the 80% area median income.

111
00:08:35,410 --> 00:08:37,630
Mental health services and food insecurity.

112
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:43,650
And then in 2022, we came back and said, okay, we'd like to partner with you in a way for more than just assistance.

113
00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:48,010
And then some county amage them are and co-care on the mental health services.

114
00:08:48,010 --> 00:08:55,570
So, during all this time we have also been trying to figure out ways to utilize the food insecurity

115
00:08:55,570 --> 00:09:02,310
funding for surplus specifically, something that came, one of the reasons servlusive brought a

116
00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:08,010
study that was done by SMU and February of 2023 showing that there was a county-wide meal gab

117
00:09:08,010 --> 00:09:15,290
of over 22.5 million pounds of food just in the county-level. So, food insecurity is a huge need here,

118
00:09:15,290 --> 00:09:21,410
So we really wanted to make sure that we were supporting our food insecure residents while also supporting service flow.

119
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Here's a quick map.

120
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,760
These are the current food pantries here in Louisville.

121
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,260
The green ones are our physical locations that have set hours or they have a by appointment.

122
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:41,300
Our purple pins are our little free pantries that are affectionately consulted as well as the same pack for.

123
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:43,080
They have a free pantry at their location.

124
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:49,320
And then the blue ones are churches that are what are called mobile food pantries or that

125
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,740
drive through their once a month.

126
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,040
And so I just wanted to show you how they're spread out around the city.

127
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,160
You will notice that the elevation army and serve Louisville are accustomed to each other,

128
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,180
but they're going to balance each other out with different hours so it will help fill that

129
00:10:04,180 --> 00:10:07,280
need in the evening hours serve Louisville provide that service.

130
00:10:07,660 --> 00:10:08,360
I have a question.

131
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:16,360
And this is what the boys and girls club, we have an underserved population of our seniors,

132
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:21,620
and they cannot make it to the big, a lot of them can to the big pantries.

133
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,180
And it's like, how will this be able to help the world again?

134
00:10:27,140 --> 00:10:29,640
Yeah, so even though we're going to get wise to start with that.

135
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,960
Yeah, so even though boys and girls club is proposed to manage the food pantry,

136
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,880
the answer was so it will be for everyone.

137
00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:41,380
So finding transportation is definitely something that our senior group we talked about every

138
00:10:41,380 --> 00:10:45,240
time we meet with them, so it goes on and working through that with them making sure that

139
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,100
we can find them transportation and for sure.

140
00:10:51,220 --> 00:10:52,520
So service was so.

141
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,360
As a reminder, there are five priorities, rent and utilities, mental health, childcare, health

142
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,640
care, and food.

143
00:10:59,020 --> 00:11:01,080
So they look in their doors into live 2023.

144
00:11:02,020 --> 00:11:03,460
Food country was bare.

145
00:11:03,460 --> 00:11:09,840
It was stopped with food from the tearing area of food being served in provided the refrigeration

146
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,240
in that food pantry and we originally thought that it would be managed by volunteers

147
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,440
from a local church but the capacity of those volunteers groups to run manage a food pantry

148
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,700
just wasn't there so we looked for other opportunities to manage that food pantry.

149
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:30,020
So boys and girls club has been in service from day one, they have had a successful program

150
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:34,720
and outreach into our community, and they submitted a proposal to operate this food

151
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,020
pantry and serve whistle, intern County during this pandemic, they had to close down

152
00:11:40,020 --> 00:11:41,660
a few of their club classes.

153
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,540
So instead of just not serving those populations, they reopen them as food countries.

154
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,920
So they have that experience of managing a food pantry, and they're completely door-marked.

155
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,600
And so they would utilize the current staff that's already there full-time at serve whistle.

156
00:11:56,180 --> 00:12:01,440
They would do those evening hours where that is a gap in our community, all of our food pantries.

157
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:09,100
I want to say that three little pantries are open during the day, so this will be that evening hour, so we're in parents that can't make it during the day, they come at night.

158
00:12:10,060 --> 00:12:15,400
So their funding request is for one year lease, and then also the remainder would be for food specifically.

159
00:12:16,420 --> 00:12:24,560
So food would be purchased from retail grocery stores, farmers market, and other food sources that will supplement the food that is received from the food banks,

160
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:28,440
because that's a specific type of food that you're gonna get from the food bank, so let's

161
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:33,780
look at other types of foods and also like I said they would be serving residents outside

162
00:12:33,780 --> 00:12:38,060
of just certain plants. Anyone that walks in a service will be a little served.

163
00:12:39,980 --> 00:12:44,620
So we're recommending to provide these residents to trade gaps, I mean to boys and girls

164
00:12:44,620 --> 00:12:50,420
club, to operate the Blue Door Market at a service. So we obviously didn't want to start

165
00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:55,280
negotiating anything and go through all that work without having a touch point with councils so

166
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,100
just wanted to see what y'all's thoughts were.

167
00:13:00,510 --> 00:13:03,230
It's very much needed. I don't know if it's

168
00:13:03,230 --> 00:13:03,850
still not enough.

169
00:13:15,170 --> 00:13:19,350
Be back here on cottages analysis. We've got Michelle Berry and Neighbors

170
00:13:19,350 --> 00:13:27,630
Food Services Manager, Hashtag Vera. Presenting again. Welcome, Council. So just to kind of

171
00:13:27,630 --> 00:13:32,960
refresh your memory on about your cottages. So before the Unifying Development Code you had to have

172
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,800
especially used permit, and you had to have quite a large lot, large number of spots in the

173
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,800
hood zone, in order to do an accessory dwelling, you know, or a backyard cottage.

174
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,900
We had a quite a few discussions as we were adopting the Unified Development Code about

175
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:49,380
relaxing regulations on backyard cottages and allowing them by right and worth owning

176
00:13:49,380 --> 00:13:51,060
districts with supplemental standards.

177
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,860
And that's what was originally adopted by the UDC in December 1st of 2022.

178
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,660
Kind of a reminder of what some of those supplemental standards are, as it cannot be taller

179
00:14:01,660 --> 00:14:05,980
of the main dwelling, it cannot be a temporary structure, must be on a permanent foundation,

180
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:12,140
the size, equal of its inch to between 400 square feet as a minimum, and 800 square feet

181
00:14:12,140 --> 00:14:14,480
or half the size of the main dwelling as a maximum.

182
00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:18,940
You can't exceed your zoning, maximum lock coverage, which does vary by zoning districts.

183
00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:24,240
It does have to have its own parking space that cannot be tandem, or continues to the main driveway.

184
00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:26,860
The design does have to be compatible with the main building.

185
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,220
There's only one per lot.

186
00:14:28,220 --> 00:14:32,160
the owner does have to live somewhere on the property, whether it's the cottage or the

187
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,000
mean dwelling. They cannot be sold separately because it's not its own lot. And it does

188
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,600
have to be located behind the means dwelling. It does have to have at least 10 feet of separation

189
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,760
from the mean dwelling, and be five feet from any law line in addition to those setbacks a little

190
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,340
bit larger if it's on a corner lots, which kind of want to refresh your memory on those standards

191
00:14:48,740 --> 00:14:51,980
that we talked quite about because we want to make sure that they were still compatible with

192
00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:59,140
communities that they were in. So since then, we've done a lot to try to encourage back.

193
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:14,080
We had a pattern book that was designed by UCA. We had the Housing Toolkit analysis. We've got a website that's out to inform interested homeowners about how they could go about building one, if that's something that they're interested in.

194
00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:28,460
It was launched for a approved design program. We're so willing to get some of those pre-approved designs up and running, but that's another resource for residents where they could take that design. They still do have to get it tailored to their specific property when you need a site, when you need a network's going.

195
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:35,460
We need some things that are specific to each unit, but that hopefully would be another tool to kind of help promote it within the community.

196
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:38,220
But we haven't had any built yet.

197
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:45,920
So I'm going to go through some of the results from the pattern book analysis and what our next steps are.

198
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:50,780
So in the pattern book analysis, we focused primarily on R75 zoning.

199
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,900
The reason we did this is because it's the smallest district where they're allowed by rights.

200
00:15:54,900 --> 00:16:01,660
It's also the predominance of single family zoning in Louisville is R75 and so we looked at R75

201
00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:06,180
and we looked by types which generally correspond to the decades in which they were built.

202
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:13,560
So if we look at our type one, this is homes that were primarily built in the 1970s and you can see this is a block ofaronus-free.

203
00:16:14,020 --> 00:16:18,360
So this is a street on the south, a street on the north and an alley that runs down the middle.

204
00:16:18,860 --> 00:16:24,880
And these purple polygons represent the area in which you can put back our cottage based on the lot configuration.

205
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,540
today and the setbacks today. And so you can see in this block of 1970's development

206
00:16:30,540 --> 00:16:35,140
where there's an alley, but everyone's front yard is where their lodges, so those

207
00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:40,200
alleys are really unrealized. A lot of these homes, most of them, could actually fit

208
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:45,860
a back garage cottage if that was something that they designed for. When we move up to the 1980's,

209
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,360
we still have alleys. Now a lot of these homes are actually using the alley for their access,

210
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,620
and you can see the home footprint's increased in size quite a bit.

211
00:16:53,620 --> 00:17:01,720
What that does is it means that maybe just over a third of homes on this 1980s block can actually fit a back garden cottage

212
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:09,570
And then just for reference these blue squares indicate pools swimming pools, so you can't you can't use that's based from back to our cottage anymore, but that's what the blue is

213
00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:17,780
And then it was moving along into the 90s. It's very similar in terms of its pattern and this one you see this doesn't have an alley

214
00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:21,920
That's starting to become more popular in the 90s. It's just having front entry with no alley

215
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:27,220
And that does make it a little bit more challenging, but you can see that this particular block

216
00:17:27,220 --> 00:17:33,060
about half of the lots could potentially fit a back-dark cottage if that's something they wanted to.

217
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,860
We could have to be careful of this configuration, it's making sure that you can get that driveway access

218
00:17:37,860 --> 00:17:40,120
for that extra parking space that's required.

219
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:46,960
So looking at those constraints, there's a lot of lots that could potentially affect our cottage,

220
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,480
but it gets a little bit more nuanced when you get into the dimensions and the shapes that they have available

221
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:57,280
to them. We do have a number of the single family homes about 81% or on our occupied, so that

222
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,260
does eliminate 19% that our investor driven since the owner does have to live on site. I know

223
00:18:01,260 --> 00:18:05,780
that was a big thing that Council talked about when we originally went through this. I think the

224
00:18:05,780 --> 00:18:10,800
biggest challenge right now is just the affordability and keeping the construction costs to about

225
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,840
$150 per square. But especially with construction costs that have been just constantly rising

226
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,680
with interest rates where they are right now and so trying to make it affordable and desirable for

227
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,300
homeowners is really I think the biggest challenge.

228
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,740
So UTA did put out some recommendations

229
00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:34,720
which was to address affordability and put it allowed the backyard cottages or the accessory

230
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:40,220
dwelling units to potentially be attached where to be a broad conversion just for reference a standard

231
00:18:40,220 --> 00:18:46,140
two hard brushes about sport. It's about 20x20. That doesn't eliminate the requirement that

232
00:18:46,140 --> 00:18:50,160
the home have fraud in parking. You would still have to figure out maybe you're building a

233
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,220
detached garage, which is a little bit cheaper than a backyard cottage and enclosing your

234
00:18:54,220 --> 00:18:58,800
garage space, so that could potentially be an option that addresses that. Or it could be that

235
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,900
if your dimensions are not quite right, you can build a accessory unit that's attached to the

236
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:08,000
main structure. Still smaller, still support it too, but if you don't have those setbacks that's

237
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,920
about working out for you. It might be more feasible that way. Another thought was to reduce the

238
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,960
minimal square footage to maybe 200 or 300 square feet. Again 200 square feet is like a single

239
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,080
car garage that's pretty small and talking to architects. They thought 300 or 330 is really the

240
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,180
smallest that they could get a one bed room back to our cottage within, but it's still smaller than

241
00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:34,060
the 400 that we have on the books today. Consider reducing or eliminating the setbacks along

242
00:19:34,060 --> 00:19:38,880
Alleyways, the reason we have the five-foot setback is because for building code, once you're

243
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,360
in 10 feet, there's additional standards for windows, doors, fire, separation, so we want

244
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:47,840
to make sure everything's spiky from a proper line, so that the adjacent property owner can

245
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,100
have the same rights as every other property owner.

246
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,880
Along an alley, we've got the alley separation, so that's not as much of a concern.

247
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,200
We still do want a little bit of a setback from an alley though, I'd say, as a staff member.

248
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:02,580
Consider entrance and connected areas, reducing the parking requirements, however, when we look

249
00:20:02,580 --> 00:20:05,180
at our transit connected areas, it's higher density,

250
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,000
it's not areas where we have single family

251
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,520
with backdoor cottages, so it's probably not gonna be that effective.

252
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:12,200
Consider allowing more creative parking options,

253
00:20:12,340 --> 00:20:14,400
like a parallel parking space off an alley,

254
00:20:15,060 --> 00:20:17,420
for backdoor cottages, if that's an underutilized alley,

255
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,380
and that might be appropriate.

256
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,720
They also raised the idea of committing a long-term

257
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,380
backdoor cottage rentals on properties

258
00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:25,520
that are not on our occupied,

259
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,320
and I know that was something that the council

260
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,340
was expressively concerned about,

261
00:20:29,460 --> 00:20:32,120
and I will say of the inquiries that staff has received

262
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:36,920
for backyard cottages, it has been to either stick an RV as a temporary structure in the

263
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:42,740
back, which we've said, no, that's not acceptable, or it has been by an investor, because

264
00:20:42,740 --> 00:20:46,420
I think there's a lot to have to wear with all the funds to go ahead and make that investment.

265
00:20:47,380 --> 00:20:51,560
And then also to consider waving permitting fees and expediting applications, but again, that's

266
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,360
such a small portion of the overall cost.

267
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,520
It might be helpful, but I'm not sure that it would really make the difference for a lot

268
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,020
of folks.

269
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:05,960
This one is a point out real quick in our housing toolkit, listed out issues by homeowner,

270
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,980
venture, economic mobility, and so one of the issues that was pointed out was that homeowner's

271
00:21:10,980 --> 00:21:16,680
investors are not building a use and some potential solutions, these are opportunities, looking

272
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,400
at the insects in the UTA patternbook to the foster development and homeowner handbooks, and then

273
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,700
also revisiting that homeowner often, and see where it is.

274
00:21:27,580 --> 00:21:31,660
So we do have a Becker Cottage website page, so you can go to this through the planning department

275
00:21:31,660 --> 00:21:34,960
page and it will scroll down and it will walk you through with the supplemental standards.

276
00:21:35,340 --> 00:21:47,160
You can look up your property on the map, it has contacts for staff, it also has some very basic information about how you might approach a bank or lending institution if you needed to get some sort of loan product to build it.

277
00:21:47,380 --> 00:21:51,480
Just kind of some outlines of what some of the key products that are available to people are right now.

278
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,080
And so that's a tool that's out there for folks if they are interested in a backyard cottage.

279
00:21:56,780 --> 00:21:59,660
And we have launched the pre-approved design program.

280
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,540
We've got material established.

281
00:22:01,820 --> 00:22:02,840
We've reached out to architects.

282
00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:06,160
There's a couple that are responded back in our hopefully going to submit designs.

283
00:22:06,380 --> 00:22:08,460
And in addition, since we weren't getting as many as we hoped,

284
00:22:08,620 --> 00:22:12,020
we've been seeking and pulling pre-approved designs that are publicly available for

285
00:22:12,020 --> 00:22:12,560
our communities.

286
00:22:12,860 --> 00:22:14,880
This one's from the San Antonio area.

287
00:22:15,380 --> 00:22:18,420
And so we're working on just getting this through our internal review process.

288
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,360
So we can put this out on the website as a pre-approved design.

289
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:26,060
This backyard cottage just for reference comes with two different roof objects.

290
00:22:26,060 --> 00:22:30,480
So you could do it either way depending on how best it's the character of your neighborhood.

291
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:38,700
It also does measure 24 feet by 24 feet, so it's a nice square, and it's about 576 total square feet.

292
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:42,240
It does have a separate living room dining room, kitchen, and bedroom.

293
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:48,160
Although they don't have a wall through the bedroom, so it's kind of like one big U-shaped space, but it is a fairly good amount of space.

294
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,820
Michelle, how long is the problem you have that open for the call for designs?

295
00:22:52,820 --> 00:22:59,260
So with this, there's no closed date, so it's kind of a rolling as these come in, we'll add them.

296
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:06,440
And if a council member is interested in having a particular architect submit, they're welcome to talk to them.

297
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:07,340
Just let them know.

298
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,440
Just let them know.

299
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:10,600
I'm happy to answer any questions.

300
00:23:11,260 --> 00:23:12,020
Are we good?

301
00:23:12,460 --> 00:23:12,720
One of them.

302
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,580
Well, I reached out to them.

303
00:23:14,660 --> 00:23:15,160
We'll see.

304
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:15,900
We'll see.

305
00:23:20,490 --> 00:23:24,530
So we're kind of looking at what are next steps to sort of help promote.

306
00:23:24,530 --> 00:23:28,910
with accurate cottages and to make them more available, we're looking at design competitions,

307
00:23:29,350 --> 00:23:33,470
maybe continuing that partnership with UTA, and possibly amending some of those regulations

308
00:23:34,210 --> 00:23:39,990
to try and make these more achievable for folks. So in terms of the design competition,

309
00:23:40,450 --> 00:23:44,370
the goal of this would really need to increase awareness and support in the community

310
00:23:45,210 --> 00:23:51,350
and reuse it for a fine-cure and ARP grant to get some funding for that design competition

311
00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:54,670
with Ashley Steamer really needed to charge on that application for us.

312
00:23:55,810 --> 00:23:59,410
But what we would do is we have different categories and we would encourage elementary school

313
00:23:59,410 --> 00:24:04,990
students to participate in different age groups to participate and would be categories for

314
00:24:04,990 --> 00:24:07,450
accessible, sustainable, those types of things.

315
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:14,190
We'd like to even include it as part of our Parade in the community, our Parade EU, where we'd

316
00:24:14,190 --> 00:24:18,430
basically put a mock-up of a background cottage, which would essentially be a shed structure

317
00:24:18,430 --> 00:24:21,850
on a parade flow to just sort of just promote it into the community.

318
00:24:22,550 --> 00:24:26,930
So we're fine for that, for an opportunity, and again, it's more focused on building awareness

319
00:24:26,930 --> 00:24:29,650
that this is an option for people.

320
00:24:30,530 --> 00:24:35,690
As I just wanted to really quick point out, we also apply for a pathway through moving obstacles

321
00:24:35,690 --> 00:24:36,330
to housing.

322
00:24:37,290 --> 00:24:40,590
This is a $10 million grant application that we submitted to HUD.

323
00:24:40,730 --> 00:24:44,590
Back in October, we're still waiting to hear from them, but part of that was $3 million

324
00:24:44,590 --> 00:24:47,010
specifically to creating back our cottages.

325
00:24:47,010 --> 00:24:50,850
This would be funny to actually construct those backyard cottages.

326
00:24:51,370 --> 00:24:53,790
We would be prioritizing our seniors to live in those cottages

327
00:24:53,790 --> 00:24:56,150
to create that affordable housing for them.

328
00:24:56,230 --> 00:25:01,630
We also want to prioritize our learn-on or income homeowners as well to work through that,

329
00:25:01,990 --> 00:25:03,430
but it's a way to do that on that award.

330
00:25:05,130 --> 00:25:08,690
Obviously, you can tell this is a big step is really taking us to heart

331
00:25:08,690 --> 00:25:14,170
that this is a diversity of housing stock that we're trying to promote as well as a affordable housing

332
00:25:14,170 --> 00:25:16,450
aging in place, and all of those types of initiatives

333
00:25:16,450 --> 00:25:17,090
are councils.

334
00:25:17,450 --> 00:25:19,230
And it wasn't as about one.

335
00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:22,470
They can people that have been seemed to love that.

336
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:25,700
I have been like, I have been like her.

337
00:25:26,380 --> 00:25:28,600
I don't do much job, but I have been like her, so.

338
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:33,120
And I don't think you need to have to make her to make it work,

339
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:35,640
but it's really because you're more flexibility

340
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,960
when you have more in your life.

341
00:25:37,820 --> 00:25:40,740
So looking at maintaining that partnership with UTA architecture,

342
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,380
they have different studio classes that you different works.

343
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,420
And in theory, we can partner with their studio classes

344
00:25:47,420 --> 00:25:49,680
to actually develop a factory cottage.

345
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,760
So what they do then with their pseudo-processes

346
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,880
is they design it in the fall.

347
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:54,300
They permanent over the work rate

348
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:56,380
and they work on construction in the spring and something.

349
00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:58,740
Obviously we have to find a participating homeowner

350
00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:00,520
and I'm still waiting to get with them

351
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,520
on exactly where the funding for that comes from.

352
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,140
If there would be any support from Mossers,

353
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,280
that's primarily the homeowner that's having it built.

354
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,180
And then they're basically covering some of those design costs

355
00:26:09,180 --> 00:26:09,800
because it's

356
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:13,340
still what you do this so

357
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,120
much.

358
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,580
So the selection of the work.

359
00:26:18,220 --> 00:26:19,820
I mean, I think we were making available

360
00:26:19,820 --> 00:26:21,820
and I can reach out to the UTA themselves.

361
00:26:21,820 --> 00:26:24,040
and what UTA make that's such a good question.

362
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:30,100
And so then the discussion of potential code amendments would staff

363
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:32,960
would maybe want to consider amending in the code

364
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,080
if we get to this step is to reduce the minimal size.

365
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,940
And I would be honestly comfortable with 300 square feet

366
00:26:38,940 --> 00:26:40,760
because it's really tough to design anything

367
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,780
that's much smaller than that.

368
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,020
And again, 300 square feet is about three quarters

369
00:26:46,020 --> 00:26:47,360
of a two-car brush.

370
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,900
Just for a point of reference, it feels a lot bigger

371
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:52,720
than your garage does, you know, it will have to break up a little bit.

372
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,800
I think the configuration is one of those things that could really address the affordability.

373
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,920
If they could be allowed in converted crages, because you already have the structure there,

374
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:07,680
in some cases you have utilities and things that are pretty close to potential, or to allow

375
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,400
them just to be attached to that home structure, which does open up flexibility if your yard

376
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,600
wouldn't otherwise allow a detached one.

377
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:20,020
to reduce or remove those that reduce really those setbacks from the alley to allow that

378
00:27:20,020 --> 00:27:23,600
parallel park and space and then potentially weigh the permitting pieces about something

379
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,140
we wanted to do to really promote that regard.

380
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:35,780
So we're talking about, I'm with you on the remove or reduce setbacks from alleys.

381
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:43,420
But we still were still proposing the holding the lock coverage.

382
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:53,640
We would still get, it looks like, on these pattern book, it doesn't look like, surely with those red pieces that exceeds the lock coverage.

383
00:27:54,380 --> 00:27:55,680
So it depends on the zoning district.

384
00:27:55,820 --> 00:27:58,160
Some of what coverage is going up pretty high.

385
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,980
40% is a common one, and we could potentially look at increasing the lock coverage a little bit,

386
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:09,300
but that was not something that UTA found was really holding anyone back in terms of being able to build that card coverage.

387
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:16,320
Okay, and so then my next question is to be a little, sorry, I apologize for this.

388
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:17,840
So, what go on?

389
00:28:18,580 --> 00:28:19,140
Oh, boy.

390
00:28:20,140 --> 00:28:25,640
So if I'm all about encouraging back to our credit, I want one, you know, for either an agent

391
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:32,100
parent or a college kid, he's not going to be able to afford to go get his own place, you know,

392
00:28:32,220 --> 00:28:32,860
for a while.

393
00:28:34,660 --> 00:28:43,340
I'm talking about high childhood, so we get there, but, but, okay, so this relates to the

394
00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:50,100
drainage orbit. If we have ever met a building back here in cottages, and we've got much

395
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:58,280
greater impervious surface in our residential areas that has had drainage. So,

396
00:29:01,770 --> 00:29:02,750
have we looked at

397
00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:12,490
at a hatch drainage line and our existing storm source systems and two, our drainage fees,

398
00:29:13,210 --> 00:29:17,230
you know, we have like a flat rate for residential, but that assumes a certain density,

399
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:17,830
right?

400
00:29:18,030 --> 00:29:21,710
But we're going to be increasing the influence of this area, so that I saw the square footage

401
00:29:21,710 --> 00:29:22,530
of the holes.

402
00:29:23,270 --> 00:29:23,770
I've been home.

403
00:29:23,850 --> 00:29:30,810
As the impervious cover, on a lot that we've been facing, it's based on a average square

404
00:29:30,810 --> 00:29:31,290
footage.

405
00:29:33,470 --> 00:29:37,710
So if everyone's a little bit, it might shift the average, but that's what it's like every year.

406
00:29:38,010 --> 00:29:44,410
Yeah, and so I only asked that not to get an answer on that right now, but just something to think about.

407
00:29:46,070 --> 00:29:51,870
I really appreciate just looking at this and saying, how do we get people to actually use this?

408
00:29:52,150 --> 00:29:56,630
I do believe that one of the biggest things working against everybody doing it right now.

409
00:29:57,290 --> 00:29:59,970
We kind of allowed it to happen as soon as the price is...

410
00:30:02,020 --> 00:30:11,140
So, I'd like to thank some of that world, sort of, some of the doubts once things come back down and

411
00:30:11,140 --> 00:30:12,720
are interstrates, get reasonable.

412
00:30:14,980 --> 00:30:24,840
But I just want to think about possible long term impact, not that that's a yes or no deal, but just something to think about.

413
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,740
As we start to look at this now, if we get more and more, we might want to look at addressing that.

414
00:30:30,940 --> 00:30:33,960
I have no problem with reducing the size of 300 square feet.

415
00:30:37,780 --> 00:30:42,980
If it's attached, I mean, I'm fine with that too, wouldn't that just be an addition?

416
00:30:43,980 --> 00:30:48,280
So sometimes it could be considered an addition if there's a pass through between the two units,

417
00:30:48,660 --> 00:30:53,020
but sometimes they like to not have any connection between the two of the areas.

418
00:30:53,020 --> 00:30:54,080
That's the tip of our arrow.

419
00:30:55,220 --> 00:30:57,240
OK, so I'm going to have to look nervous when I saw

420
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,840
the potentially commemorative garages.

421
00:30:59,340 --> 00:31:02,260
But they caveat there is that they would have to,

422
00:31:02,260 --> 00:31:04,740
they would have to construct a garage.

423
00:31:05,060 --> 00:31:05,320
Sure.

424
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,460
Our code minimum is you have to, in our R75 zoning district,

425
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,680
it's one garage space plus two additional page spaces.

426
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,240
And most homes, it was common to build the two-card

427
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,660
garage in the 80s and 90s anyway,

428
00:31:18,780 --> 00:31:21,380
and two-card garage with two-part spaces in front of it.

429
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:30,720
But then this would also increase if you did an accessory dwelling, you would have to increase the parking space as well, right?

430
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:38,380
So not only would you have to replace the garage space that we have, you would have to make sure that you have the three of the original home,

431
00:31:38,460 --> 00:31:40,760
plus the additional one for the back yard cottage.

432
00:31:41,260 --> 00:31:47,900
And the back yard cottage one cannot be tandem or anyways that people walked by the, they couldn't block each other, right?

433
00:31:48,820 --> 00:31:49,040
Okay.

434
00:31:53,770 --> 00:31:57,150
I just, I wouldn't go lower than 300 square feet.

435
00:31:57,250 --> 00:32:03,410
I have a question on the permanent foundation, slab, or appear in being either way.

436
00:32:04,630 --> 00:32:08,910
Okay. So with the building permits, they do have to have an engineer, a foundation plan.

437
00:32:09,050 --> 00:32:14,450
Oh, yes. So, and that's one of the things that we can't pre-appropriate that has to be lots of the set.

438
00:32:20,780 --> 00:32:22,660
Hearing none, I'll ask one.

439
00:32:23,140 --> 00:32:26,920
The pattern book did they just pick a couple of samples,

440
00:32:27,380 --> 00:32:28,900
fruits and neighborhoods, or do they do the whole city?

441
00:32:29,260 --> 00:32:31,840
We drove through the city a bunch one day.

442
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,540
We drove through a lot of different neighborhoods in the city.

443
00:32:35,060 --> 00:32:36,720
We did it for the purposes of the illustrations

444
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,680
of a couple of walks that were representative samples

445
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,560
of each of those different decades of the structure.

446
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,840
I love the visibility that says, man, I can do this.

447
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,640
That would create.

448
00:32:47,820 --> 00:32:49,240
Yeah, we did not do that for every year.

449
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:54,640
I can imagine that that would be a nightmare to do unless there was some automated tool that did that.

450
00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:55,620
So, okay.

451
00:32:56,220 --> 00:32:57,320
One quick question.

452
00:32:57,580 --> 00:32:59,040
So, the only foundation.

453
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,240
So, that's the hardest structure to do for this.

454
00:33:02,860 --> 00:33:03,160
Thank you.

455
00:33:03,380 --> 00:33:06,420
And so, the way that that typically works is a homeowner.

456
00:33:07,460 --> 00:33:11,000
If they're using like Sarah pre-approved design that's out there,

457
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:16,100
they would have to get a structural engineer to stamp the foundation plan.

458
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:28,320
But a lot of times they're connected to that engineer through the contractor that they choose is some of that they work with in the past or they can reach out to the architect that design the plans and see if they can reach out to anyone through them.

459
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,280
But they do have to do that as part of the building programming process.

460
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:39,320
Can we can I make a suggestion on that just like we're going to have kind of a few architectural partners in this if we could get.

461
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:44,760
because I know I share the argument to yeah an engineer like a structural engineer that I've

462
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:50,000
had come out to my house repeatedly for my foundation. So you know those are it's one of those.

463
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:57,680
A lot of people don't have to have that, but if we could have a list of a few that you know we could say hey,

464
00:33:57,860 --> 00:33:59,260
there's their problem with this.

465
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,680
I will, I'm looking to see if there's a way that we can do that and still not be, you know,

466
00:34:04,780 --> 00:34:07,740
favoring an engineer maybe, you know, I'll see if there's a way we can do that.

467
00:34:07,740 --> 00:34:27,940
I just found there's not a whole bunch of them because you don't want a foundation company to do it because they will give you a foundation that you do not want to pay for and you don't need it either so there are what I have found it's a really not a whole lot of people that do that work

468
00:34:27,940 --> 00:34:31,160
It just designed it and had no interest in it.

469
00:34:32,540 --> 00:34:33,720
So, just a thought.

470
00:34:33,980 --> 00:34:35,800
I was looking at it, but not normally,

471
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,800
it's thresholds don't want to do it, it's a force.

472
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,480
So, I mean, they got to do it.

473
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,080
That's something I don't really have far earlier.

474
00:34:41,820 --> 00:34:42,720
I was just...

475
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,080
I hadn't had one of their goals first,

476
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,460
since he said, but I don't think personally,

477
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,040
I don't think my mom's been in this type of things,

478
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,700
they typically go as far as the geotechnics.

479
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,200
Right, they don't go up.

480
00:34:53,350 --> 00:34:55,790
I think you've got some consensus around moving forward

481
00:34:55,790 --> 00:34:57,790
on most of these, I think,

482
00:34:57,790 --> 00:35:04,330
I had similar concerns about the garage conversions because we've got a history of not wanting them.

483
00:35:05,910 --> 00:35:18,850
So, that does create a challenge, but if we can be really clear about it, and it fits more into the expansion of the home work and addition to the home kind of concept, and it covers the parking, the last thing we want to do is create parking techniques.

484
00:35:18,850 --> 00:35:24,850
Yeah, look, time to try and understand the directions of them.

485
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:27,470
300 square foot, not 200.

486
00:35:27,970 --> 00:35:28,830
What I'm hearing.

487
00:35:29,130 --> 00:35:35,530
And then also, we would allow them to be attached, but there's still concern about converting.

488
00:35:35,570 --> 00:35:35,790
Right.

489
00:35:37,230 --> 00:35:38,910
I mean, the less they do.

490
00:35:39,750 --> 00:35:44,390
It's long as the requirement is that they have to replace the loss for our space.

491
00:35:44,410 --> 00:35:45,990
Because then I'm fine with converting it.

492
00:35:46,170 --> 00:35:46,310
Right.

493
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:49,890
But is there, I don't want to make sure you're going to use this.

494
00:35:50,810 --> 00:35:51,330
That's fine.

495
00:35:51,370 --> 00:35:54,910
But if you are, are you to say, if you have a two-card drive,

496
00:35:55,210 --> 00:35:58,610
you're going to place the two-card space or just...

497
00:36:00,690 --> 00:36:02,110
Right now, I'm thinking it's the minimum.

498
00:36:02,470 --> 00:36:04,290
So what I was hearing was that you just have to...

499
00:36:04,290 --> 00:36:05,810
You have to have a minimum of one space.

500
00:36:06,010 --> 00:36:06,410
One in a place.

501
00:36:07,070 --> 00:36:07,870
Plus two.

502
00:36:08,170 --> 00:36:08,870
Plus two.

503
00:36:09,970 --> 00:36:11,070
Are you wanting something different?

504
00:36:12,590 --> 00:36:12,990
Yeah.

505
00:36:13,310 --> 00:36:13,490
Yeah.

506
00:36:13,550 --> 00:36:15,010
That force base is one in close.

507
00:36:16,530 --> 00:36:23,090
I think, I mean, I see what you're saying is that if the requirement is just one close

508
00:36:23,090 --> 00:36:28,670
space that they already have to, that we're losing something, right?

509
00:36:29,370 --> 00:36:33,170
I mean,

510
00:36:38,620 --> 00:36:43,260
I mean, if it were my house, I would probably want to replace both garage spaces,

511
00:36:43,820 --> 00:36:47,840
but I think the requirement should just be what our standard requirements.

512
00:36:51,150 --> 00:36:58,350
one comment before we go off parking, parallel parking on the alley. Some of our alleys that would be a nightmare for a trash services.

513
00:36:58,370 --> 00:37:01,790
This is obviously something that I need to work through with the engineering department.

514
00:37:02,850 --> 00:37:04,150
I'm not crazy about that at all.

515
00:37:04,810 --> 00:37:11,590
I don't know. I think for the right alley, it might work or for the right home with a flare somewhere.

516
00:37:12,070 --> 00:37:17,510
There's some opportunity there, but I'm just going to advocate for our trash drivers.

517
00:37:17,510 --> 00:37:23,690
this guy's those guys are mirrorable workers with those vehicles sometimes and so that one would have to be really

518
00:37:23,690 --> 00:37:25,110
really closely men.

519
00:37:25,290 --> 00:37:30,610
And we can look at maybe just being a little bit more flexible as opposed to maybe being a mirrorable

520
00:37:30,610 --> 00:37:31,050
woman.

521
00:37:31,970 --> 00:37:36,490
I mean people already parking the culprits all the sacks all every which way so.

522
00:37:37,230 --> 00:37:39,930
All right, appreciate feedback.

523
00:37:40,150 --> 00:37:40,690
It's good stuff.

524
00:37:41,070 --> 00:37:42,070
Thank you for moving forward.

525
00:37:42,230 --> 00:37:43,730
We're trying to figure out how to make this work.

526
00:37:45,940 --> 00:37:49,080
We are done. We will move in a regular set in September.

527
00:38:03,170 --> 00:38:06,470
Call this regular session of the Louisville City Council Order. We do have a quorum.

528
00:38:06,850 --> 00:38:10,130
First up on the agenda tonight is the invocation with Council Member Cade.

529
00:38:12,210 --> 00:38:13,250
She's standing with me, please.

530
00:38:17,380 --> 00:38:20,320
While we come together as a governing body to not

531
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:25,820
Lord, I ask that you graces with a lot in hearts and minds to make sound and

532
00:38:25,820 --> 00:38:32,280
fair and just decisions for the citizens of Louisville. Thank you, Lord, for all of our

533
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:37,260
City Council are me all of our city employees and our hard work and sacrifice that they do

534
00:38:37,260 --> 00:38:42,920
on a daily basis, keeping our great city running very smoothly and keeping us safe.

535
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,740
May you continually protect them and bless them.

536
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:52,260
Get our mayor, the City Leader's staff, and City Council the wisdom and discernment over

537
00:38:52,260 --> 00:38:55,760
all issues and deliberations before us tonight.

538
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,700
And let us take this time to lift up the family, but the contractor that was tragically

539
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:08,740
killed on Friday, and that is also remember Charlie Correll, a past Louisville City Council member

540
00:39:08,740 --> 00:39:14,600
and founding board member of DCTA who passed away yesterday in its in your name we pray,

541
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:15,200
amen.

542
00:39:16,820 --> 00:39:18,940
Please join me in the pledges to our flags.

543
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:20,760
I pledge allegiance.

544
00:40:11,070 --> 00:40:17,290
I know most of us sitting in this room are tired of the drama of elections, what we are

545
00:40:17,290 --> 00:40:21,570
not tired of is the drama of our Louisville high school theater.

546
00:40:22,230 --> 00:40:24,150
If I could have them join us up here.

547
00:40:24,270 --> 00:40:26,550
We are going to proclaim theater in our schools month.

548
00:40:26,970 --> 00:40:27,930
So I see some shirts.

549
00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:29,450
Come on, come on.

550
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,140
Gotta have a photo at least.

551
00:40:47,710 --> 00:40:51,650
This is a proclamation by the city council of the city of Louisville.

552
00:40:51,930 --> 00:40:55,570
And whereas theater education enriches the lives of countless students in our schools

553
00:40:55,570 --> 00:40:58,470
and allows them to discover their myriad skills and abilities in leadership,

554
00:40:59,030 --> 00:41:01,850
communication and collaboration, unlocking their unlimited potential.

555
00:41:01,850 --> 00:41:05,730
And whereas theater is a critical component of the learning process and develop students'

556
00:41:05,930 --> 00:41:09,790
creativity, self-discipline, problem-solving, and critical thinking abilities, and whereas

557
00:41:09,790 --> 00:41:13,950
research indicates that students with more theater education have higher academic achievement

558
00:41:13,950 --> 00:41:17,930
across the curriculum, the importance of theater education is recognized as being necessary

559
00:41:17,930 --> 00:41:21,930
for the full development of all students, and whereas theater on our school's month is a

560
00:41:21,930 --> 00:41:25,890
special opportunity for our community to engage in the ongoing process of theater education

561
00:41:25,890 --> 00:41:29,110
and to bring heightened awareness of the importance of the arts and education.

562
00:41:29,110 --> 00:41:33,790
Now, therefore, I, TJ Gilmore Mayor of the City of Louisville, Texas, and on behalf of the City Council,

563
00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:39,550
do you hear by recognize the month of March 2024 as theater in our schools months in Louisville, Texas,

564
00:41:39,910 --> 00:41:45,230
and urge all residents to observe the occasion with the appropriate ceremonies, activities, and maybe go see a play.

565
00:41:46,310 --> 00:41:47,630
Let's give them a hand.

566
00:41:53,610 --> 00:41:55,150
Is that, is that panel?

567
00:41:59,320 --> 00:41:59,800
I'd be words?

568
00:42:00,140 --> 00:42:00,620
I'll be as I do.

569
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:01,460
All right.

570
00:42:02,980 --> 00:42:06,420
Thank you for your recognition and your support in this month.

571
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:12,720
We, as Louisville High School Theatre, think that art in our schools not just theater, but music,

572
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:19,360
dance, performance arts, visual arts, is all something that everybody should be free to

573
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:25,540
partake in, whether creating or just watching and enjoying and being with coming together.

574
00:42:26,060 --> 00:42:31,440
And even if it's not creating, just sitting and enjoying, we invite you to come out to

575
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:38,660
any of our shows as we, one of our big things this year is to reach out to the greater community at large.

576
00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:43,220
Beyond Lewisville High School, but Lewisville City and the Lewisville area as well.

577
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:51,600
So if you feel like you would like to see a play, especially this month, Monday, March 18th,

578
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:56,480
we actually are performed, have a public performance of our competition one act play,

579
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:02,300
called Diabritacy by Sarah Rule. We would like to invite anybody to come out and see and follow

580
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:07,440
us and follow us on our journey and reaching out to our larger communities as a whole. Thank you

581
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,480
very much for your recognition and your support.

582
00:43:34,530 --> 00:43:36,870
Rest of Council because leadership is important.

583
00:43:37,890 --> 00:43:39,530
I know how this works.

584
00:43:42,250 --> 00:43:43,990
And if I could have the badge come family.

585
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:54,760
First of all we've got a young

586
00:43:54,760 --> 00:44:02,580
here who is about to earn or has earned his Eagle Scout. And regardless of what you know about Eagle

587
00:44:02,580 --> 00:44:08,180
Scouts, this is a family lift. It's not just you. I'm sorry. I know it's everybody up here.

588
00:44:08,740 --> 00:44:13,320
So I happen to have two Eagles in my household. I was a life scout. I don't know that's part of

589
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:19,120
part of where it is. But I wanted to give some recognition. So congratulations to Raiden Leon Batchkum

590
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,460
on receipt of his Eagle Scout award. The Louisville City Council would like to recommend

591
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:27,840
that Raiden's hard work and leadership earning three additional merit badges above his Eagle Scout project

592
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,880
and earning the bronze palm and scouting.

593
00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:33,600
Raiden has been about the top producers and popcorn sales for several years, which is earned

594
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,640
in a scholarship, and he's currently a senior at Flower on Mount High School, and will also

595
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,760
be traveling to Europe for spring break with his classmates with funds he is earned working part-time.

596
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,300
Raiden is aspiring to be an executive chef and looking forward to attending college in either

597
00:44:44,300 --> 00:44:47,880
Texas or Illinois, and the I.T.J. Gilmore Mayor of Louisville on behalf of the City Council

598
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,260
wish you the best in all your future endeavors. Congratulations.

599
00:45:05,940 --> 00:45:06,420
All

600
00:45:11,190 --> 00:45:18,870
right. Next up, I've got my library. There we are. You just going to sit there. No, I need you up here. Come on.

601
00:45:21,250 --> 00:45:22,590
On my favorite teams,

602
00:45:26,420 --> 00:45:40,360
we have the presentation of the achievement of excellence in the library as a ward. It's open to TMLDA member library directors and the libraries that they represent. And to receive the achievement of library excellence award, the library must support standards of excellence in over 10 and 10.

603
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,000
and categories.

604
00:45:42,580 --> 00:45:43,160
Carol?

605
00:45:44,020 --> 00:45:44,940
I think you have a few words.

606
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:45,800
Thank you.

607
00:45:47,340 --> 00:45:50,080
So I wanted to thank the Library team.

608
00:45:50,100 --> 00:45:53,820
Thank you Mayor and Council and City Management for your support.

609
00:45:54,500 --> 00:46:00,700
Also, thank you to our residents for supporting Library Services and my fellow directors that are here today.

610
00:46:01,420 --> 00:46:07,500
So as the Mayor mentioned, this is a 10 point system to apply for.

611
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:12,980
And all the people that I brought forward here today were instrumental in applying for and achieving that award.

612
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:19,780
So I brought three examples today to talk about one of the categories of staff development.

613
00:46:20,420 --> 00:46:28,700
And we achieved excellence in supporting our staff development last year with our staff development day that we held in February of 2023.

614
00:46:28,700 --> 00:46:37,460
Another one is educational, cultural, and classes, and we achieved excellence in a library

615
00:46:37,460 --> 00:46:45,640
program in 2023. Of course, lots of programs in 2023. The sample that we applied with was

616
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:51,920
our idea to those Nino's, deal it to those Libros program, which we celebrate now every April.

617
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:59,020
And that is a celebration of children, reading, and families, and learn helps a lot with that program.

618
00:47:00,420 --> 00:47:05,000
The final example that I wanted to bring up today was collaboration with outside entities,

619
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,720
and those the library demonstrated excellence in that, in our partnership,

620
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:17,960
with keep-looseful, beautiful for our seed library, and Stormy, it was instrumental in getting that going for us.

621
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:23,240
We also have Renee Kirchner here today, and she helped with our application and working,

622
00:47:24,060 --> 00:47:29,540
and we talked about our literacy, learning initiatives, and our welcome baby program.

623
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:35,720
I also wanted to mention we have a couple of library board members here in the house today that came to celebrate us from the crowd.

624
00:47:36,460 --> 00:47:41,680
But thank you for celebrating libraries with us today, and we will continue to strive for excellence in 2024.

625
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,820
It's a living space.

626
00:48:34,990 --> 00:48:38,480
Next up, I knew it.

627
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:41,700

643
00:49:26,610 --> 00:49:32,210
The applicant is requesting his own change from Warehouse District back to Lightendustrial District to facilitate the development of a business park.

644
00:49:32,950 --> 00:49:35,990

Motion passes five nothing. E2, public hearing.

675
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:41,860
Consideration of the removal of de-restrictions contained within document number 201-3565

676
00:51:41,860 --> 00:51:48,100
on 1.029 acres being a portion of review industrial park block A, a lot 11 R1 located on the

by Paul Bartell. Half associates incorporated on behalf of Prologis Exchange TX-2004 LLC,

679
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:02,120
the property owner. During the review of the zone change request for the subject property

680
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,780
Board restrictions on the use of the property were discovered that need to be removed to facilitate

681
00:52:05,780 --> 00:52:08,080
the development of a proposed business park on the site.

682
00:52:08,540 --> 00:52:12,020
These restrictions were put in place shortly after rezoning the subject property from

683
00:52:12,020 --> 00:52:16,520
light industrial district zoning to warehouse district zoning in 2011, and were specific

684
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,200
to the development proposed at the time.

685
00:52:18,740 --> 00:52:23,100
The Board restrictions state that city council action through the public hearing process is required

686
00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:25,320
to amend or remove the district restrictions.

687
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,280
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval six to nothing on February

688
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:33,040
2020-2024, and it is recommended that the City Council will approve the removal of the

689
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:37,000
deed restrictions that are set forth in the caption above. We do have Richard Lutky,

690
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,840
our planning director available for questions, and the public hearing is now open.

691
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,580
If there are no comments or questions, Council will entertain a motion to close the public hearing.

692
00:52:47,780 --> 00:52:48,960
I'm moved to close the public hearing.

696
00:53:02,970 --> 00:53:03,870

00:53:13,300 --> 00:53:13,680

00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,180
I have a motion in a second.

I'm three public hearing.

703
00:53:27,370 --> 00:53:29,910
Consideration and ordinance granting a zone change from public use,

704
00:53:30,010 --> 00:53:32,790
district zoning, two planned development, a state townhouse residential,

705
00:53:33,350 --> 00:53:37,490
district on 47.641 acres of land out of the RF hardened survey.

706
00:53:37,490 --> 00:53:43,690
abstract number 613, the decooked survey, abstract number 234, the T.A. West survey, abstract number

707
00:53:43,690 --> 00:53:50,350
1, 3, 4, 5, and the B. Soonover survey, abstract number 12, 09, located on the east side of

708
00:53:50,350 --> 00:53:54,670
Josie Lane, approximately 3000 feet south of Wind Haven Parkway. As requested by Patricia

709
00:53:54,670 --> 00:54:02,550
Font, the Gatams, on behalf of Louisville Independent School District, the property owner, 23-10-8-PZ.

710
00:54:03,270 --> 00:54:06,630
The subject's site lies east of Josie Lane, across from Memorial Elementary School,

711
00:54:06,630 --> 00:54:07,790
and the Lakewood Hills development.

712
00:54:08,010 --> 00:54:11,710
The property is currently owned by the Louisville Independent School District who intends to sell

713
00:54:11,710 --> 00:54:15,190
the southern portion for a residential subdivision and retain the northern portion for

714
00:54:15,190 --> 00:54:16,230
a future middle school.

715
00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:23,290
The applicant is proposing a resounding to planning a state townhouse residential to build a

716
00:54:23,290 --> 00:54:24,870
new single-family detached neighborhood.

717
00:54:25,730 --> 00:54:29,290
The planning and zoning commission recommended unanimous approval five to nothing on February 6,

718
00:54:29,990 --> 00:54:36,610
2024, and is recommended in the city council approve the ordinance to set forth in the

719
00:54:36,610 --> 00:54:38,650
and the public hearing is now open.

720
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:46,150
Mayer, I'd like Richard to just go over briefly what you went over with us in the workshop.

721
00:54:48,750 --> 00:54:54,530
Yes, the entire site was owned by L.I.S.D. as the Mayor of Brad and the Caption are in the administrative

722
00:54:54,530 --> 00:54:55,170
comments.

723
00:54:55,550 --> 00:55:02,770
The northern piece will be retained for a school and when this L.I.S.D. went out for proposals for the

724
00:55:02,770 --> 00:55:11,490
have to sell, staff had received numerous meeting requests and inquiries from multi-family

725
00:55:11,490 --> 00:55:18,130
developers, and of course staff's reply to all of them was definitely that it was something

726
00:55:18,130 --> 00:55:23,330
that staff could not support and carry forward to city council and did not meet the city's

727
00:55:23,330 --> 00:55:29,990
long-range plans for the area. We were very happy that a single-family developer moved forward,

728
00:55:30,630 --> 00:55:35,510
Staff feels that that's the highest investee for that area that compliments surrounding neighborhoods.

729
00:55:37,210 --> 00:55:43,190
Some concerns that PNZ brought up by several of the speakers was increased traffic on Josie,

730
00:55:43,610 --> 00:55:49,350
which Josie Lain is a major arterial in this whole region of the Metroplex,

731
00:55:49,850 --> 00:55:54,390
a six-lane divided road and it designed to carry very high traffic volumes,

732
00:55:54,390 --> 00:55:57,970
And it does carry a lot of traffic from outside of Lewisville.

733
00:55:58,170 --> 00:56:02,970
It's really a major threat, like I said, of thoroughfare, connecting major parts of the metroplex.

734
00:56:03,990 --> 00:56:11,290
And as far as other concerns were just the lack of park land in the area in open space,

735
00:56:11,650 --> 00:56:16,510
several of the residents were disappointed to see more open space going away.

736
00:56:17,050 --> 00:56:22,710
Fortunately, like I said, we were happy that the resident development will be single family homes.

737
00:56:22,710 --> 00:56:27,830
And because the property does contain a segment of Indian Creek,

738
00:56:28,810 --> 00:56:32,990
about the over nine acres will be dedicated to the city as Parkland,

739
00:56:33,150 --> 00:56:37,270
that will accommodate a major regional hike and bike trail

740
00:56:37,270 --> 00:56:39,230
that is on our long-range plans.

741
00:56:39,610 --> 00:56:43,030
But there will also be a proximity nine acres of private open space

742
00:56:43,030 --> 00:56:45,030
that will have a recreational easement on it.

743
00:56:45,250 --> 00:56:47,950
That will give us the ability of additional public trails

744
00:56:47,950 --> 00:56:52,010
to connect various portions and up to the school

745
00:56:52,010 --> 00:56:56,470
and connect the school with various neighborhoods in that area.

746
00:56:56,790 --> 00:57:00,910
Overall, I believe the site is approximately about 38% open space.

747
00:57:01,610 --> 00:57:07,270
Another factor, the fact that the tributary of Indian Creek kind of runs parallel to

748
00:57:07,270 --> 00:57:12,250
Josie Lane, the subdivision to self, will be about 350 feet back from Josie.

749
00:57:12,550 --> 00:57:17,810
So you will have ample open space at the front of the subdivision from Josie Lane.

750
00:57:17,810 --> 00:57:23,510
So I think that will address some of the concerns that the residents had at the P&C meeting.

751
00:57:24,230 --> 00:57:36,210
Richard, I also, I think I read somewhere in here that there's still part, there will probably be a traffic study required, and the next, but so this is just to clarify that this is just zoning,

752
00:57:36,210 --> 00:57:44,170
That the next phase will include traffic analysis, which will hopefully address some of the

753
00:57:44,170 --> 00:57:44,730
traffic concerns.

754
00:57:44,790 --> 00:57:48,790
Yes, that would be required with the plighting phase of the development.

755
00:57:54,020 --> 00:57:55,320
There are no further comments or questions.

756
00:57:55,380 --> 00:57:57,400
I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing.

757
00:58:02,690 --> 00:58:04,290
I moved to close the public hearing.

758
00:58:04,830 --> 00:58:05,630
Thank you.

759
00:58:06,330 --> 00:58:07,110
I have a motion.

760
00:58:07,270 --> 00:58:09,150
In a second, Council, if you please vote,

761
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:12,900
motion passes five to nothing.

762
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,460
Council, I'll entertain a motion to approve the ordinance to set forth in the caption.

763
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,120
To approve the ordinance to set forth in the caption?

764
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,520
I have a motion in a second city attorney.

765
00:58:27,980 --> 00:58:30,020
This is an ordinance of the Louisville City Council,

766
00:58:30,820 --> 00:58:36,180

793
00:59:52,390 --> 00:59:54,210
Action can only be taken at a future meeting.

794
00:59:54,990 --> 00:59:56,070
Have any public comment?

795
01:00:02,420 --> 01:00:10,800
Mr. Law, if you don't mind, I'm going to have you posted for H-10. Nancy Sancell?

796
01:00:20,570 --> 01:00:25,790
This is my pleasure to say good evening to all of you, Mayor and Councilman and staff.

797
01:00:27,290 --> 01:00:39,310
My name is Nancy Sancell. I'm a frequent visitor here at your meetings, and I enjoy a chance to share with you what's going on with the senior population of Louisville.

798
01:00:39,310 --> 01:00:48,630
I reside at 415 South Garden Rich Road at the Evergreen at Lewisville Senior Community for six years.

799
01:00:49,370 --> 01:00:58,090
We represent Lewisville Senior Living Challenges organization or as our back of our T-shirts say seniors helping seniors.

800
01:00:58,730 --> 01:01:06,210
To express our unity we are all wearing our symbolic blue shirts and you can see a few in the back there.

801
01:01:06,210 --> 01:01:13,350
We were very honored to have Gary Henders, and I know you all know Gary, CEO and President

802
01:01:13,350 --> 01:01:19,610
of the United Way at our February meeting last Thursday night.

803
01:01:22,730 --> 01:01:30,850
We had also delighted to have Brandon Jones and I don't see William Meredith or

804
01:01:30,850 --> 01:01:38,650
there he is. They also helped with technical problems we had. So we had a, we had a packed

805
01:01:38,650 --> 01:01:46,990
house of residents that geared towards, you know, the way it's working with possibilities of

806
01:01:46,990 --> 01:01:56,830
finding assistance and if all works out in late March or April. Besides our grant, we were told

807
01:01:56,830 --> 01:02:01,050
But other communities have also raised their rents, so I don't know if you all are aware

808
01:02:01,050 --> 01:02:01,630
of that.

809
01:02:01,690 --> 01:02:09,330
Haven't independent community raised, there's 300 a month, and Riverwalk down here raised

810
01:02:09,330 --> 01:02:13,570
their rent 600 a month, and that's just a few.

811
01:02:16,470 --> 01:02:23,750
As the early baby boomers turn 78, the demand for senior housing will grow exponentially from

812
01:02:23,750 --> 01:02:30,930
1.5 million units, 2020 to 3.2 million units in 2040.

813
01:02:31,350 --> 01:02:34,390
If you look on your packets that were passed out to you,

814
01:02:34,530 --> 01:02:38,250
the front covers sort of delineates that growth.

815
01:02:38,850 --> 01:02:44,170
And it's truly shocking how much more housing we need.

816
01:02:46,950 --> 01:02:51,050
There are more than 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day.

817
01:02:51,050 --> 01:03:02,630
Denton County's need for senior housing will grow soon to 20.58% of the population, population of over a million population, I understand.

818
01:03:04,570 --> 01:03:08,230
Our meetings with the city managers office have been very successful.

819
01:03:08,890 --> 01:03:18,550
With ongoing safety repairs, we were delighted to see the sidewalk repair people working on our sidewalks that many others have been tripping on.

820
01:03:18,550 --> 01:03:21,110
So we were thrilled about that.

821
01:03:21,630 --> 01:03:24,930
We also have petitioned with the City Manager's office

822
01:03:24,930 --> 01:03:30,350
for a safety zone to block you turns on both sides

823
01:03:30,350 --> 01:03:34,210
of the street, caution signs, and across walk

824
01:03:34,210 --> 01:03:37,830
that across the garden ridge to the back entrance

825
01:03:37,830 --> 01:03:39,670
of the Tom Thum Street Mall.

826
01:03:39,970 --> 01:03:41,930
Crossing the street is very dangerous.

827
01:03:42,570 --> 01:03:44,910
I've personally seen one person killed her.

828
01:03:45,850 --> 01:03:54,350
As the credit goes to a fantastic mayor, City Council, Claire Powell, Ashley and Chris and her wonderful staff,

829
01:03:55,270 --> 01:03:57,430
it has just made a big difference in our lives.

830
01:03:57,750 --> 01:04:05,490
We feel like we can go in and sit down and have a wonderful discussion and ways we can work together,

831
01:04:06,090 --> 01:04:07,630
networking and things like that.

832
01:04:07,630 --> 01:04:14,630
You're combined effort has made a huge difference in looseville seniors quality of our lives.

833
01:04:14,890 --> 01:04:21,790
You have provided impatiently, month after month, listened to our concerns and our safety issues.

834
01:04:22,230 --> 01:04:27,250
You represent the best example of local city government I've ever seen.

835
01:04:27,650 --> 01:04:31,610
And who really care about their citizens and their welfare.

836
01:04:32,150 --> 01:04:34,290
And I thank you very much and I'm out of time.

837
01:04:34,870 --> 01:04:35,470
Thank you, Nancy.

838
01:04:41,310 --> 01:04:45,490
item G consent agenda. All the following items on the consent agenda are considered to be self

839
01:04:45,490 --> 01:04:49,270
explanatory by the council when we acted with one motion. There will be no separate discussion

840
01:04:49,270 --> 01:04:52,670
of these items unless it's council member or citizens to request for assistance and request

841
01:04:52,670 --> 01:04:56,510
removal and item. A speaker card or e-commerce must be filled out submitted to the city secretary.

842
01:04:57,150 --> 01:05:02,930
So you secretary do we have any comment? No service to Mayor. Council unless there is anything

843
01:05:02,930 --> 01:05:07,130
to be pulled on or taken a motion? Move to approve the consent agenda. Second.

844
01:05:07,130 --> 01:05:09,390
I have a motion in a second. Council, please vote.

845
01:05:14,060 --> 01:05:15,780
Concentrate into pass is five and nothing.

846
01:05:16,500 --> 01:05:18,220
Item H9, a regular hearing.

847
01:05:18,580 --> 01:05:20,260
Concentration of four, alternative standards.

848
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,180
Related to building, setbacks, parking, layout,

849
01:05:23,460 --> 01:05:26,520
driveway location, and streetscape for a proposed commercial building

850
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,280
on 3.29 acre lot.

851
01:05:28,380 --> 01:05:30,360
Legally described as Blake C. Bowen,

852
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,380
Edition Block A, lot to.

853
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:36,640
Located at the north side of Justin Road FM407,

854
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,420
approximately 400 feet west of Interstate Highway 35E.

855
01:05:42,260 --> 01:05:46,940
on behalf of Louisville 407 and 35 partnership, the property owner,

856
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:50,920
Case number 2402-ALT-CD.

857
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,520
Specs family partners limited. Specs lines, spirits, and

858
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,060
finer foods, aka Specs, is proposing a new retail building on the

859
01:05:58,060 --> 01:06:04,960
north side of Justin Road FM 407. The following four alternative standards are requested to accommodate various easements on the property.

860
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:09,400
A to allow a 98 foot setback from the primary, predestrian street in Leap.

861
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:15,680
of the maximum 10 feet allowed at a 95 foot set back from Justin Road FM407 in lieu of the maximum

862
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:20,880
80 feet allowed. B to allow parking between the building and street. C to allow driveways

863
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:25,520
onto the primary pedestrian street and D to omit the street escaping inside walk along the primary

864
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:30,300
pedestrian street and place the required benches and bike racks along the eight foot sidewalk

865
01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:33,960
along the building. The planning and zoning commission recommended unanimous approval six

866
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:38,380
and nothing on February 20, 2024. It's recommended that the city council proved the alternative

867
01:06:38,380 --> 01:06:42,220
standards is set forth in the caption above, and we do have Mr. Richard Lutkey, our planning

868
01:06:42,220 --> 01:06:47,920
director available for questions. Richard, if you would mind kind of speaking to the unique

869
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:52,400
aspects of this property and why we're, why we're a PNZ approved this.

870
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:58,440
This site is probably the prime candidate for why we do have alternative standards. It's a

871
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:03,880
very challenging site. It is crisscrossed by multiple easements. It's not only access

872
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:09,040
and fire land easements, but water line easements over had power line easements and a gas

873
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:14,880
line easement. And some of those easements are going at a 45. So it's made development

874
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:22,640
very, very challenging and with the either d5 overlay standards on top of that, very, very

875
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:27,960
difficult, but staff worked very closely with the applicant and we think this would be a great

876
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:35,500
addition to the overall development of the area, and I think all of the standards are warranted

877
01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:38,600
and that we've come up with a really good solution that will accommodate the development

878
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:42,060
but still, we've dispertened to the either of the five over-life.

879
01:07:45,410 --> 01:07:46,810
There are no other questions or discussion.

880
01:07:47,490 --> 01:07:48,670
I just want to make one come out.

881
01:07:48,850 --> 01:07:53,930
I remember this property a couple of years ago when we looked at this and what could have been

882
01:07:53,930 --> 01:07:59,210
there, so I appreciate the fact that we waited for the right fit for this property.

883
01:08:01,940 --> 01:08:07,240
I was just going to say, I do a fair amount of land planning in my day job.

884
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:13,680
I don't know if land planner for this project is here tonight, but Kudos to you.

885
01:08:14,860 --> 01:08:16,540
This is a lot.

886
01:08:17,780 --> 01:08:22,320
This is a lot of restrictions, so I'm glad that we were.

887
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:27,440
The land planner was able to find some workable solutions with working with the city.

888
01:08:28,940 --> 01:08:42,420
So to make this property developable, otherwise it would be vacant, so with that, I just wanted to say Kudos the land planner, and with that all motion to approve the alternative standards of the set forth in the caption.

889
01:08:43,780 --> 01:08:43,860
Second.

890
01:08:43,860 --> 01:08:45,040
I have a motion in a second.

891
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:46,440
Council, please vote.

892
01:08:48,750 --> 01:08:49,290
Passes five.

893
01:08:53,350 --> 01:08:54,350
Item H10.

894
01:08:55,070 --> 01:08:56,830
Consideration when ordinance amending the fee schedule.

895
01:08:57,050 --> 01:09:02,510
It's city of Louisville by amending fees related to solid waste and recycling services in the properties that were annexed into the city on November.

896
01:09:04,230 --> 01:09:08,890
The City Council approved an exclusive franchise agreement for solid waste and recycling collection and disposal with

897
01:09:08,890 --> 01:09:12,530
Republic Services for Legacy Lewisville that became effective January 1, 2021.

898
01:09:13,110 --> 01:09:17,050
Following the annexation of the Castle Hill area, the city assumed an exclusive franchise agreement for residential

899
01:09:17,050 --> 01:09:20,950
solid waste and recycling collection and disposal with community waste disposal CWD.

900
01:09:21,370 --> 01:09:27,250
During the September 18, 2023 City Council work session staff presented options for solid waste and recycling collection for the Castle Hill area.

901
01:09:27,250 --> 01:09:31,450
Subsequently, staff was directed to transition solid waste and recycling collection for the

902
01:09:31,450 --> 01:09:34,930
Castle Hill area to the Republic's services exclusive franchise agreement making the service

903
01:09:34,930 --> 01:09:39,530
consistent throughout Louisville. Staff is negotiated transition plan with CWD and Republic

904
01:09:39,530 --> 01:09:44,390
the considers challenges of both customers and providers in the Castle Hill area. CWD is

905
01:09:44,390 --> 01:09:50,830
informed staff that extending their service to January 31, 2025 will cause them to occur

906
01:09:50,830 --> 01:09:57,150
additional costs for trucks. To offset the additional costs, rates will be increased by $10.3%.

907
01:09:57,150 --> 01:10:01,850
effect of April 3rd, 2024 as part of the proposed amendment impacting all residential rates

908
01:10:01,850 --> 01:10:03,110
for the castle hills area.

909
01:10:03,650 --> 01:10:07,110
The ever-chome having one trash cart and one recycled cart would see a monthly increase of

910
01:10:07,110 --> 01:10:09,410
$2.62 on their utility bill.

911
01:10:10,070 --> 01:10:14,210
Per the proposed amendment, this is the final rate adjustment for the CWD agreement.

912
01:10:14,830 --> 01:10:18,930
On February 1, 2025 the franchise will transfer to Republic Services and the fees for the

913
01:10:18,930 --> 01:10:21,290
castle hills area will likely reduce at that time.

914
01:10:21,790 --> 01:10:24,570
It's recommended that the city council approve the ordinance to set forth in the caption

915
01:10:24,570 --> 01:10:24,990
above.

916
01:10:24,990 --> 01:10:28,970
I do have one comment from Mr. Daniel Law.

917
01:10:34,310 --> 01:10:35,390
Hey, man.

918
01:10:35,390 --> 01:10:35,990
Good evening.

919
01:10:36,210 --> 01:10:37,030
Good evening.

920
01:10:37,750 --> 01:10:40,170
I do have a question and I have an observation and I have an opinion.

921
01:10:42,150 --> 01:10:46,530
So I am 10% to $6 dollars.

922
01:10:46,610 --> 01:10:47,410
I think that's okay.

923
01:10:47,850 --> 01:10:49,790
The only question I have is,

924
01:10:50,090 --> 01:10:52,650
right, after February of 2025,

925
01:10:53,490 --> 01:10:55,770
they say that the bill is going to be reduced.

926
01:10:56,050 --> 01:10:59,870
Do we expect the same two weeks collection or is going to change

927
01:10:59,870 --> 01:11:05,170
because when you say reduce at that time, do we see a reducing in service as well?

928
01:11:05,370 --> 01:11:06,110
That's my question.

929
01:11:07,750 --> 01:11:10,390
And then, my observation about the collection, right?

930
01:11:10,410 --> 01:11:17,070
So I think this kind of circle back to our city audience section 1223 regarding the collection schedule.

931
01:11:18,010 --> 01:11:22,950
So currently, right, the audience talk about, right, the 7-A-M is the collection day.

932
01:11:23,030 --> 01:11:29,690
And then, they talk about the 24 hours prior is where you can put the trash out and then you have 24 hours after the collection day.

933
01:11:30,250 --> 01:11:35,090
Right, so if you think about it, right, you go from about 36 hours to about 60 hours.

934
01:11:35,390 --> 01:11:36,650
It's a long, right, yeah.

935
01:11:36,890 --> 01:11:38,410
You think about our neighborhood, right?

936
01:11:38,650 --> 01:11:41,150
Our neighborhood has a lot of non-compliance.

937
01:11:41,410 --> 01:11:44,650
So when I talk to the compliance officer with our H.O.A.

938
01:11:44,650 --> 01:11:46,990
We have the most violation last year.

939
01:11:47,490 --> 01:11:51,830
So if you think about the audience and our neighborhood, right?

940
01:11:51,830 --> 01:11:53,850
We are front facing garage neighborhood.

941
01:11:54,330 --> 01:11:59,850
So we have a Tuesday and Friday collection date with the audience reading.

942
01:11:59,850 --> 01:12:03,810
and right yet, you know, 24 hours prior and 24 hours after, right?

943
01:12:04,470 --> 01:12:05,870
So, produce the collection,

944
01:12:06,350 --> 01:12:08,790
we're gonna have Monday, people put even 7 AM,

945
01:12:09,070 --> 01:12:12,970
and it might have all the way to meet now on Wednesday,

946
01:12:13,470 --> 01:12:15,810
but we think about it, we have a Friday collection day.

947
01:12:16,210 --> 01:12:17,950
So, that means people can put it on Thursday,

948
01:12:18,330 --> 01:12:19,970
and then don't have to do it,

949
01:12:19,970 --> 01:12:22,170
to have to remove on to Saturday.

950
01:12:22,730 --> 01:12:25,890
So, in other words, you have an audience here that's

951
01:12:25,890 --> 01:12:28,130
difficult for people to enforce, right?

952
01:12:28,130 --> 01:12:32,970
people can do the loophole and put it every day other than Sunday, but then as we now write

953
01:12:32,970 --> 01:12:36,570
a lot of people that work on Sunday, that means, you know, in the neighborhood I talk

954
01:12:36,570 --> 01:12:42,510
about, right, the 10 minutes walking, you know, to a park or green space, right. So when

955
01:12:42,510 --> 01:12:48,090
you think about these, right, if we continue to have a two collection date per week, right,

956
01:12:48,110 --> 01:12:52,550
you're going to see a neighborhood with a lot of trash in the neighborhood. We do, like

957
01:12:52,550 --> 01:12:56,490
I say, a violation, a lot of violation, right? People leave it on the street, people

958
01:12:56,490 --> 01:13:02,590
living in front of the neighborhood, right, drive way, even our H-O-A do have a rule about

959
01:13:02,590 --> 01:13:02,870
that.

960
01:13:03,270 --> 01:13:03,670
That is similar.

961
01:13:04,430 --> 01:13:10,870
They can't afford it and then they ask me like, you know, if we get CD involved and

962
01:13:10,870 --> 01:13:13,550
then, you know, CD enforcement involved, that might be good.

963
01:13:13,870 --> 01:13:16,970
I know the other thing is, right, we have a visibility.

964
01:13:18,450 --> 01:13:21,730
We don't have a rule on visibility on the trash, right?

965
01:13:21,790 --> 01:13:24,650
What I mean is, we don't have a visibility from the front.

966
01:13:24,650 --> 01:13:28,870
when I look around in the city, or around the metro tracks,

967
01:13:29,470 --> 01:13:32,210
like Alingtern, Fort Worth, and some other city,

968
01:13:32,230 --> 01:13:35,130
even Carleton has some kind of regulation about,

969
01:13:35,130 --> 01:13:37,990
you know, regulation about trash not being visible

970
01:13:37,990 --> 01:13:40,410
from the front of the property.

971
01:13:41,010 --> 01:13:43,850
So I don't think city of Louis, Louis has that.

972
01:13:44,050 --> 01:13:45,650
So I think, you know, there's something

973
01:13:45,650 --> 01:13:49,790
that they can look into to become a city city of Louis

974
01:13:49,790 --> 01:13:50,870
who is a better place to leave.

975
01:13:51,150 --> 01:13:53,250
Because, and I say, right, we walk the neighborhood alone

976
01:13:53,250 --> 01:14:00,570
and is challenging to see a lot of trash in the neighborhood, so there's all I have put today.

977
01:14:01,270 --> 01:14:01,450
Thank you,

978
01:14:03,950 --> 01:14:03,950
Dan.

979
01:14:04,010 --> 01:14:06,490
We'll have staff to clarify some of those questions for you.

980
01:14:12,770 --> 01:14:14,110
Council, I'll entertain a motion.

981
01:14:14,930 --> 01:14:17,210
Move to approve the ordinance to set force on the caption.

982
01:14:18,490 --> 01:14:18,690
Second.

983
01:14:19,230 --> 01:14:20,470
A motion of second, city attorney.

984
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,160
This is an ordinance of the Louisville City Council.

985
01:14:28,220 --> 01:14:32,580
I'm ending the peace schedule of the city of Louisville by amending the residential trash

986
01:14:32,580 --> 01:14:36,400
and recycling collection rates that apply only to properties annexed into the city on November

987
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:41,340
15th, 2021, providing a repealer's severability and effective date and clearing emergency.

988
01:14:42,220 --> 01:14:43,260
Council, please vote.

989
01:14:45,790 --> 01:14:47,030
Motion passes 5.9.

990
01:14:49,950 --> 01:14:53,910
Item 11, second reading, consideration of an ordinance setting for the second attachment to the

01:14:53,910 --> 01:14:57,510
solid waste collection disposal and recyclable materials collection and processing agreement,

992
01:14:58,090 --> 01:14:59,970
and the first amendment to the solid waste collection and disposal.

993
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:29,980
The City Council approved an exclusive French has agreement for solid waste and recycling collection and disposal with the public services for legacy Louisville, became effective January 1, 2021. Following the annexation of the castle hill area, the city assumed an exclusive French has agreement for residential solid waste recycling collection and disposal with community waste disposal CWD. During the September 18, 2023, City Council work session staff presented options for solid waste recycling collection for the castle hill area. Subsequently, staff was directed to transition solid waste recycling collection for the city council.

994
01:15:29,980 --> 01:15:32,120
the Council Hill area to the Republic of Services,

995
01:15:32,300 --> 01:15:34,440
exclusive French has agreement making the service consistent

996
01:15:34,440 --> 01:15:35,620
throughout Louisville.

997
01:15:35,860 --> 01:15:37,880
Staff is negotiated transition plan with CDWD

998
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,000
and Republic that considers challenges for both customers

999
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:41,760
and providers in the Council Hill area.

1000
01:15:41,980 --> 01:15:43,860
The city charter requires the amendments to a franchise

1001
01:15:43,860 --> 01:15:44,800
ordinance to be read twice.

1002
01:15:45,260 --> 01:15:47,560
30 days apart and go in effect no earlier than 30 days

1003

The first reading was approved on January 22nd, 2024.

1005
01:15:51,620 --> 01:15:52,600
If approved on the second reading,

1006
01:15:52,740 --> 01:15:54,760
the amendment will be effective on April 3rd, 2024.

1007
01:15:55,300 --> 01:15:56,960
It's recommended that the city council proved the ordinance

1008
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:58,220
to step forth in the cash and above.

1009
01:15:58,760 --> 01:15:59,240
Council?

1010
01:15:59,700 --> 01:16:00,940
There are no questions or comments.

1011
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:02,320
I'll entertain a motion.

1012
01:16:02,940 --> 01:16:05,440
Mr. Mayor, I move to approve the ordinance to set forth an occasion.

1013
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:07,020
Item motion.

1014
01:16:07,260 --> 01:16:07,480
The second.

1015
01:16:07,820 --> 01:16:08,060
City Attorney.

1016
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:12,180
This is an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Louisville, Texas, setting

1017
01:16:12,180 --> 01:16:16,160
forth the second amendment to solid waste collection and disposal and recyclable material

1018
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,120
collection and processing agreement.

1019
01:16:18,700 --> 01:16:22,380
And the first amendment to solid waste collection and disposal and recyclable material

1020
01:16:22,380 --> 01:16:24,080

1021
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:28,280
providing for severability, and effective date, and acceptance by community-waste disposal

1022
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:28,880
LP.

1023
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:31,540
Councillor, can you please vote?

1024
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:34,700
Motion passes.

1025
01:16:34,980 --> 01:16:35,420
5 to nothing.

1026
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:37,660
Reports.

1027
01:16:38,460 --> 01:16:39,280
Councilwoman Meredith?

1028
01:16:41,260 --> 01:16:45,260
Before I go through these, would you mind be in first from the City Council report, sir?

1029
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:45,960
All right.

1030
01:16:46,740 --> 01:16:50,580
Do you want to make a point that we do have our quarterly investment report from October

1031
01:16:50,580 --> 01:16:56,080
1, 2023 to December 31st, 2023, that is in the supplemental material for Council

1032
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:59,600
and it's also available on the city website so you can see how we're doing.

1033
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,740
First of all, I wanted to compliment staff on the Tri-City Neighborhood Summit.

1034
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:07,160
I thought that went off very well.

1035
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:09,480
Everything turned out great that day.

1036
01:17:13,050 --> 01:17:15,550

Thank you, sir.

1046
01:17:49,770 --> 01:17:51,130
Council Member Troyer?

1047
01:17:52,850 --> 01:17:54,190
First of all, did a little bit.

1048
01:17:54,670 --> 01:17:58,050
Anyway, thanks to this staff and everyone involved.

1049
01:18:00,390 --> 01:18:05,530
I have a number of items at the Grand Theatre.

First of all, the Texas Tunes concert series continues this Saturday night, March 9th, with a concert by Del Castillo.

1059
01:19:07,770 --> 01:19:08,330
Thank you, sir.

1060
01:19:08,850 --> 01:19:09,390
City Attorney?

1061
01:19:10,250 --> 01:19:10,770
City Secretary?

1062
01:19:11,010 --> 01:19:12,270
No report, Mayor.

1063
01:19:13,030 --> 01:19:13,770
No report, Mayor.

1064
01:19:13,770 --> 01:19:13,930
No report, Mayor.

1065
01:19:15,630 --> 01:19:15,790
I know.

1066
01:19:17,230 --> 01:19:19,630
I got some hard scape to talk about.

1067
01:19:21,190 --> 01:19:26,610
Mayor, City Council Park fans just wanted to give you a little bit update the Parks and Recreation Department,

1068
01:19:26,610 --> 01:19:34,010
participating in the Texas Recreation Park Society Annual Institute last week in Galveston and we brought

1069
01:19:34,010 --> 01:19:43,750
home some some stones from that event. We received a maintenance achievement award, an outstanding

1070
01:19:43,750 --> 01:19:50,710
educator of the year award, a planning excellence award and the Texas Gold Medal for management

1071
01:19:50,710 --> 01:19:55,630
of a park system and then a couple of things that we weren't expecting. As I was walking in here

1072
01:19:55,630 --> 01:19:57,930
I was going to tell you more about each of these,

1073
01:19:58,230 --> 01:20:01,130
but I've been asked by the past president's council

1074
01:20:01,130 --> 01:20:03,190
if they can come make a formal presentation

1075
01:20:03,190 --> 01:20:07,310
to city council and allow our staff that wasn't able to

1076
01:20:07,830 --> 01:20:09,390
go to celebrate their awards with us,

1077
01:20:09,410 --> 01:20:11,170
so I'm going to hold off on that.

1078
01:20:11,630 --> 01:20:13,850
But one of those include the spotlight that probably

1079
01:20:13,850 --> 01:20:16,530
needs to be pointed at you for just a couple of seconds.

1080
01:20:17,990 --> 01:20:18,930
OK, we got it.

1081
01:20:22,010 --> 01:20:26,970
But one of the things also, this Saturday, we held our second installment, installment of

1082
01:20:26,970 --> 01:20:32,450
the Roots for Wings Program, which we put together in conjunction with our friends from

1083
01:20:32,450 --> 01:20:37,370
neighborhood services and sustainability and key blues for a beautiful, and it's been a heavy

1084
01:20:37,370 --> 01:20:43,570
lift for the city because it requires us to think differently about how we approach how

1085
01:20:43,570 --> 01:20:51,190
We landscape not only public spaces, but private spaces too in our homes and how we address

1086
01:20:51,190 --> 01:20:56,350
existential threats by working together and just seeing things differently.

1087
01:20:57,050 --> 01:21:03,410
And during that program, which wanted to let you all know that the master naturalists have

1088
01:21:03,410 --> 01:21:11,890
recognized it as their outstanding project program of the year for 2023, they're a big part

1089
01:21:11,890 --> 01:21:15,610
of that program helping us with volunteers and doing a lot of the teaching.

1090
01:21:15,890 --> 01:21:18,830
So I know that you all have most of y'all up there.

1091
01:21:18,970 --> 01:21:23,730
I've attended one of the workshops and I know we already have the person who hasn't signed

1092
01:21:23,730 --> 01:21:25,550
it for the 2025 installment.

1093
01:21:27,350 --> 01:21:33,650
So I just wanted to congratulate everybody on that award because that is a group lift.

1094
01:21:33,970 --> 01:21:35,190
Congratulations to everybody.

1095
01:21:36,690 --> 01:21:38,050
It's no report

1096
01:21:40,290 --> 01:21:49,430
of the late report that's not a list of awards, but the lake is at 99.4% full 521.88 feet.

1097
01:21:51,110 --> 01:21:52,150
what's that?

1098
01:21:55,260 --> 01:21:55,780
shirt?

1099
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:57,760
What is

1100
01:22:04,440 --> 01:22:04,460
that?

1101
01:22:04,460 --> 01:22:04,620
What's that?

1102
01:22:04,620 --> 01:22:05,220
Cut,zel, we're green.

1103
01:22:05,980 --> 01:22:07,720
My husband says they are.

1104
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:17,060
So I just wanted to quickly mention that we do have the Edro McKells unveiling this Thursday

1105
01:22:17,060 --> 01:22:17,860
night.

1106
01:22:18,140 --> 01:22:22,720
I believe that it actually starts at noon so you can drop by and check out the new place.

1107
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:26,260
I actually have not seen it yet, so I'm excited for that.

1108
01:22:26,740 --> 01:22:31,300
there will be a short presentation beginning at 6 p.m. in a ribbon cutting.

1109
01:22:32,060 --> 01:22:35,180
Then I also just wanted to mention that our animal shelter is pretty full.

1110
01:22:35,700 --> 01:22:36,820
So, could get you a buddy.

1111
01:22:37,820 --> 01:22:38,040
That's all.

1112
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:38,900
Or two.

1113
01:22:39,100 --> 01:22:40,540
Or two. Why not?

1114
01:22:44,130 --> 01:22:45,250
No more than six.

1115
01:22:47,830 --> 01:22:48,050
Councillor interjecting.

1116
01:22:48,530 --> 01:22:50,930
Councillor interjecting. So, I just wanted to give the parks.

1117
01:22:51,150 --> 01:22:54,270
The parks department and neighborhood services shout out.

1118
01:22:54,470 --> 01:22:56,370
We, I attended the Roots of Wings.

1119
01:22:56,390 --> 01:22:59,550
A person who is not outdoorsy, who does not have a green thumb.

1120
01:22:59,550 --> 01:23:00,830
But it was very educational.

1121
01:23:01,050 --> 01:23:04,910
I came away with a plant that I'm trying to figure out how to plant it in my backyard.

1122
01:23:06,450 --> 01:23:10,450
Yeah, yeah, no, I did a stay stressed that, but I have to find where there's going to be

1123
01:23:10,450 --> 01:23:14,710
a lot of sun or some shades off of them, I'll research, so I'll get those out there and

1124
01:23:14,710 --> 01:23:15,130
get going.

1125
01:23:15,390 --> 01:23:20,030
I probably won't get the certification because my lot is not big enough, but I will get some

1126
01:23:20,030 --> 01:23:22,690
natural plants out there, native plants.

1127
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:28,410
While we're here, while I'm here, shout out shout out to our public's work folks.

1128
01:23:28,410 --> 01:23:33,570
because, you know, I know our seniors came last month and they were talking about the concrete,

1129
01:23:34,090 --> 01:23:37,870
there's a gentleman who was in a wheelchair who was saying, talking about the cracks, and I

1130
01:23:37,870 --> 01:23:42,330
did notice those and the public works got out there pretty fast because the day after that,

1131
01:23:42,330 --> 01:23:46,610
I saw that they were out there or working on that. So I just want to commend our staff or, you know,

1132
01:23:46,770 --> 01:23:51,770
the fast turnaround in the work, you know, a lot of people like to complain about government

1133
01:23:51,770 --> 01:23:57,670
and what's not right, but clearly, you know, our staff works very hard to work with our

1134
01:23:57,670 --> 01:24:01,810
get to their answer. We may not be as fast as you want us to be, but we do, we do it

1135
01:24:01,810 --> 01:24:05,590
very hard. So I know we love our police and our fire, but we want to give our public

1136
01:24:05,590 --> 01:24:08,930
works people a hand. That's all I have.

1137
01:24:09,490 --> 01:24:17,550
Well, I'll just take up on police and fire here, okay? What a week. It was so nice that Sunday we

1138
01:24:17,550 --> 01:24:23,710
weren't in the headlines, but it's been quite a trying weekend, and I want to give

1139
01:24:23,710 --> 01:24:26,310
things to to y'all for that.

1140
01:24:30,380 --> 01:24:35,180
A couple of things. I also wanted to echo Councilman K's comments.

1141
01:24:35,660 --> 01:24:43,620
This was a hard weekend for our staff, first responders, including public services. We're really

1142
01:24:43,620 --> 01:24:50,220
tried and came through, did a really excellent job, so I want to thank all of you. I also wanted

1143
01:24:50,220 --> 01:24:55,920
to highlight a few things. So we do have a couple of awards that have not been told to Council. So

1144
01:24:55,920 --> 01:25:01,980
I just want to, I don't know the final results on these, but Dallas Business Journal has named

1145
01:25:01,980 --> 01:25:05,420
our Ohio deal, one of the finalists for deal of the year.

1146
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:12,820
National League of Cities has said, we're either first or second place, we're not sure, on

1147
01:25:12,820 --> 01:25:18,040
City Cultural Diversity Awards, so we're going to wait and find out what NLC does with that.

1148
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:19,640
And that's for our chin sculpture.

1149
01:25:20,440 --> 01:25:25,000
And then I want to talk about Stacey and I, so she doesn't want me to talk about this, but

1150
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:25,840
I think it's worth saying.

1151
01:25:26,020 --> 01:25:28,260
So she was also at the traps meeting,

1152
01:25:28,660 --> 01:25:32,860
our traps award banquet, she was awarded the Dan Whitworth

1153
01:25:32,860 --> 01:25:35,900
Fellow Award, and this is the highest award

1154
01:25:35,900 --> 01:25:38,020
that the society can bestow.

1155
01:25:38,260 --> 01:25:40,040
This recipient of the recipient of this honor

1156
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:41,640
has been the members of traps

1157
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:43,160
and has given outstanding service

1158
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:46,160
to the Parks and Recreation Field for a minimum of 10 years.

1159
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:48,200
In addition to contributing to the promotion

1160
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,720
advancement of the Texas Recreation of Parks Society,

1161
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,180
that doesn't really tell you what that moment was.

1162
01:25:53,180 --> 01:25:58,840
I will tell you that she got a standing ovation, she didn't know she was going to get it.

1163
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:06,360
We made sure her husband and mom had secretly flown in as well for her to see for them to be there for her.

1164
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:13,740
And our entire table including her staff are in total tears because they were so moved and loved her.

1165
01:26:14,460 --> 01:26:15,500
So congratulations to you.

1166
01:26:33,390 --> 01:26:36,370
It is awesome to have so many people that love their town.

1167
01:26:38,750 --> 01:26:41,270
So, a couple of quick things.

1168
01:26:41,570 --> 01:26:43,090
Heatherhouse is going to be phenomenal.

1169
01:26:43,450 --> 01:26:44,830
You definitely want to get out there.

1170
01:26:45,070 --> 01:26:46,510
So, I'm going to, she's still my thunder,

1171
01:26:46,630 --> 01:26:48,170
but I'm going to just reiterate.

1172
01:26:48,770 --> 01:26:49,290
It's awesome.

1173
01:26:49,630 --> 01:26:50,130
So, thank you, Kristen.

1174
01:26:51,610 --> 01:26:53,610
I did want to give you guys just a quick rundown

1175
01:26:53,610 --> 01:26:56,790
of my day of maering on Saturday.

1176
01:26:57,970 --> 01:27:00,590
So, Saturday morning, I was on the road

1177
01:27:00,590 --> 01:27:02,830
by about 4.45 AM.

1178
01:27:02,830 --> 01:27:05,110
I had the opportunity to represent Louisville

1179
01:27:05,110 --> 01:27:09,330
at the Native Plant Society of Texas's Spring Symposium.

1180
01:27:09,590 --> 01:27:11,870
And it was at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center.

1181
01:27:13,330 --> 01:27:14,590
It was a great time.

1182
01:27:14,870 --> 01:27:18,350
And what's fascinating is when I look back on the journey

1183
01:27:18,350 --> 01:27:21,310
that our city has taken, and that I've taken with our city

1184
01:27:21,310 --> 01:27:25,870
over the last several years, I grew up looking at water issues

1185
01:27:25,870 --> 01:27:27,150
as a kid in Arizona.

1186
01:27:28,390 --> 01:27:30,570
And Native plants, when they did live,

1187
01:27:30,670 --> 01:27:31,910
you only saw them for a week or two,

1188
01:27:32,090 --> 01:27:33,990
and then they went back to be in dormant.

1189
01:27:34,610 --> 01:27:52,010
But I see those issues with water and water conservation coming up here in Texas and I've seen it for many years and so as we started to have these conversations around water restrictions and native plants and how do we how do we move people in that direction?

1190
01:27:52,410 --> 01:27:59,830
We also through in this this whole butterfly thing and what I thought was really fun about the butterfly thing when I first said yeah, we should sign up for that.

1191
01:27:59,830 --> 01:28:04,610
I thought what it meant was don't hit them with your car and make sure that you don't use

1192
01:28:04,610 --> 01:28:05,170
bug spray.

1193
01:28:05,650 --> 01:28:09,370
I figured that was the entirety of it, but I'm not bright.

1194
01:28:10,550 --> 01:28:14,010
Over time, I realized we got to build habitat for these guys.

1195
01:28:14,130 --> 01:28:17,670
We got to build, I call it the Bucky's for Butterflies.

1196
01:28:17,870 --> 01:28:21,670
We got to build that way station for the butterflies and the birds and the natives, and it

1197
01:28:21,670 --> 01:28:25,870
comes from the native plants with help with the water issues, which help reduce cost of

1198
01:28:25,870 --> 01:28:30,730
ownership and they reduce costs of the city for maintenance and mowing and all those types of things

1199
01:28:30,730 --> 01:28:36,250
and do things look a little scruffy sometimes. Yeah because Texas looks a little scruffy sometimes

1200
01:28:36,250 --> 01:28:42,270
and I'm okay with that because we're in Texas. So I got the opportunity to to two at our

1201
01:28:42,270 --> 01:28:46,510
horn. I want to thank the Parks Department for and staff for getting me the data and the

1202
01:28:46,510 --> 01:28:55,850
information so I could put a really compelling story out there and I think we're going to get

1203
01:28:55,850 --> 01:29:00,630
So if I lean on you guys for more information and more opportunities to share our message, please

1204
01:29:00,630 --> 01:29:01,650
don't hate me.

1205
01:29:02,650 --> 01:29:04,050
It's a great time.

1206
01:29:04,250 --> 01:29:10,150
So then I zipped back here because I had to be for the Louisville Education Foundation was

1207
01:29:10,150 --> 01:29:13,210
here to represent the city for that and we had several folks there.

1208
01:29:13,230 --> 01:29:16,690
But if you haven't paid any attention to LEF or don't really know what it is, they raise

1209
01:29:16,690 --> 01:29:21,370
a lot of funds, not just for scholarships for students, but also scholarships and grants

1210
01:29:21,370 --> 01:29:22,190
for teachers.

1211
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:06,060
I know that that can be a little harrowing when you've got to recap the entire year that you have not been here for.

1212
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:14,300
And so thank you so much for stepping into that role. It was exciting to see everybody there and to recognize our police department for all the exciting things that they've been doing.

1213
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:19,380
And it's such a great family. So I appreciate you for that. And then I went to bed.

1214
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:27,020
But I love this city. I wouldn't have it any other way, and I appreciate you. I'll give me the opportunity to showcase what a great city we are.

1215
01:30:27,020 --> 01:30:36,140
With that, we don't have any session in the back, so we have no more actions to be taken, we are adjourned.
