[0:00] 18th, we do have a quorum, microphones are live and pick up even heavy breathing in the back row.

[0:06] So please pay attention. First up, we have a decision of the consent and regular agenda items.

[0:18] He's been in a right away acquisition here with Mr. Salman,

[0:25] Council Member Green.

[0:27] I've got flags, pledges with Council Member Kelley.

[0:34] We've got three proclamations.

[0:39] A nine of D1 public hearing ordinance for an SUP for gasoline and service station.

[0:44] It's an extension of SAMHSA Club.

[0:46] We actually have the product engineer here who has an open will be showing just traffic.

[0:53] That'd be lovely because that definitely needs a good look at that.

[1:01] And that'll be Mr. Alvarez for Kimley Hork.

[1:06] Any other questions on D1?

[1:09] D2, Public Hearing, consideration of an ordinance grant and a zone change from AO to LI.

[1:20] I'm a similar, there's no, nobody from LI did that.

[1:24] I'm afraid that it'll be very, very, pretty funny.

[1:27] I

[1:36] don't have three approval minutes.

[1:42] I have your lease agreement with APG properties for the health clinic.

[1:46] I have a good question about that.

[1:48] Is by-beers comment, you know, any time I can go to the three I get my hands when it's

[1:51] so hard?

[1:53] Yes.

[1:53] So it's not actually not a normal comment thing, but we got such a good deal from this property

[2:00] owner that, and this was a take it or leave it on my offer from them, and at the end of the

[2:05] We spent last 10 years, the location is prime and the cost aren't going up for a year, so the risk is low, so I give the authorization before the five years.

[2:20] I'm five change order for advanced funding with the text out.

[2:26] To get the words fighting farwards away on the pace of bridge in both directions.

[2:32] Beautiful piece of documentation.

[2:38] Item 6, I will be abstaining, so I'm going to ask to pull Item 6.

[2:43] John is a colleague of the answer with the stars last year, so just feel it's being appropriate

[2:48] for me to be on the day as long as this one.

[2:53] Item 7, approval of the first amendment for professional services between Marathon and Health

[2:59] of the City.

[3:03] What do you guys want to do this again?

[3:04] Exactly.

[3:08] Poll 6.

[3:09] We just need to pull 6.

[3:14] So, I'm going to add the item to take over on that.

[3:18] Item 6 approval of an economic development agreement.

[3:22] All there is.

[3:25] I think it's happened.

[3:26] They pulled it.

[3:27] Pull it out for it.

[3:32] I'm G8.

[3:34] Been warned for construction services for West College Street

[3:37] Payment and Utilities and Mills Street parking.

[3:40] I would be repeating that question.

[3:44] Any questions on G8?

[3:50] Reports.

[3:52] And we do have closed sessions like

[3:55] that.

[3:56] With that, we're going to move on to workshop.

[3:58] Item lead.

[3:59] These meant the right away acquisition.

[4:01] Mr. David, something in our city engineer.

[4:02] I

[4:21] wanted to a visit of the council to see the above of this

[4:25] on the right way of position process.

[4:29] We've got a couple of projects coming up

[4:32] from asking the council to be a commission

[4:37] to start a inquiry.

[4:39] The last time we did this,

[4:41] there was a question that were raised about our process.

[4:44] So we just thought this was a good point.

[4:46] just have a quick overview of what our process is,

[4:57] but I'm going to don't make it, I'm just going to do it.

[5:00] Very high level view of what that process looks like, and that I'm going to cover the landowner's bill of rights, which is an argument that we need to hope for the whole world's property owners of when we make all rooms.

[5:15] And then we'll get into the need of the presentation this evening, our actual acquisition process.

[5:25] So, I'm in it, don't mind.

[5:28] We're kind of covering this backwards because typical is very end-of-armony,

[5:31] in a way, a position process.

[5:34] We thought we wanted to cover this very brief,

[5:37] and, um, amin it don't mind really starts with the final offer.

[5:44] And if that final offer is not accepted,

[5:48] then the city is typically going to a file of petition

[5:52] to start amin it don't mind proceedings.

[5:57] With that petition, the judge has to appoint the special commissioners, and basically they're

[6:07] just interested in the property donors that reside in the county, and the judge also

[6:13] allows both parties, whether it's a city or the land order, a strike and commissioner,

[6:17] So, there's fairness in the app, the commissioner's set of hearing date, which is no earlier than 20 days after the date, they're appointed, and then notice the served of the land owner within 20 days prior to the hearing, and there are some cases where we can't find the property owner or some extending waiting circumstance.

[6:42] and instead of sending a notice to the property order,

[6:46] the action notice by publication.

[6:52] It's a question that they're real quick.

[6:54] So, you can go back one.

[6:56] So, let me say, when we hear a hearing call,

[7:00] I was so many who were supposed to say this kind of a list,

[7:03] but it was an office, right, and typically there's a side call.

[7:08] They work doesn't they have to go by council?

[7:11] Well, but themselves are often times they have their own lawyers,

[7:14] Thank you.

[7:22] Thank you.

[7:22] Of course, a bad point for hearing the hearing is how both the landowner and the city

[7:26] are the other cases.

[7:29] Commissioners make a ruling on the value of the property and that we're going to file for

[7:36] the court and for the court some notice that we're sitting by a certain type of mail.

[7:46] At that point, the city deposits the war into the registry of the court and it takes possession of the property.

[7:53] So at that point, once we've done that, we can move on with our project and the state of possession and start construction.

[8:02] And then, also at the same time, planned order.

[8:05] They can either take the money or, but if they do, they go right to a challenge to

[8:15] the taking, but they can still, they can still challenge the amount of the compensation

[8:21] of that point.

[8:27] Either part can kind of jump to the commission's award.

[8:31] The objection must be in writing and followed the court.

[8:35] And if there is an objection,

[8:42] you know, the process goes on and the structure is already going at that point and the appeal may continue for some time after that.

[8:54] So really at that point, if it comes to the issue of how much money are we going to pay for the property, we already have it, we just don't know what the bottom line is.

[9:06] Not a bland or is bill of rights associated with copy of the cover sheet.

[9:10] It comes off that document.

[9:12] Again, this is a document that we have to hand,

[9:16] the property owners, when we make an offer.

[9:24] The document is created by the Texas Attorney General's Office,

[9:27] that it outlines the bland owners' rights and general process.

[9:35] Before or after the same time that we make representation of the bland owner

[9:39] we have now going to remain on board. We must provide this document to that land order.

[9:47] So, you know, once we come to the City Council,

[9:51] we get authorization to obtain the property,

[9:55] which includes negotiation all the way up through them.

[9:58] And don't mind once we go through.

[10:00] That process of council, and then we have that authority. At that point, any time we make an offer, we have to provide this document.

[10:13] We're a bill of rights covers, a whole, several topics, that it basically walks up the property order through the event-domain process.

[10:23] It tells them where they can get help, explains public purpose and use, compensation,

[10:31] other compensation oftentimes.

[10:34] We not only have to pay for the easement itself, but sometimes by taking that easement,

[10:40] it actually creates some damage to the remainder of the property.

[10:43] So that's always calculated into the total cost.

[10:46] So, this is a lot of them know that they're going to be damaged as a remainder of the property,

[10:51] and that they're going to be done.

[10:52] Students are going to have a pay.

[10:55] All the possible obligations of the committee are going to have a lot of objecting to it.

[11:02] They

[11:06] cover special commissioners hearing tells them all about requirements for the commissioners,

[11:13] their limitations, who can be a commissioner,

[11:15] you know, how to move Jack to a commissioner and again our obligations as condemned

[11:27] explains

[11:28] objective to the commissioners of war, how to object what happens when you object who

[11:35] pays for the trial and then what happens after the trial

[11:42] and then sometimes this missile

[11:45] to actually panic or the condominate and see if the site not to come down a land or

[11:53] if they don't take the award from the court. I believe that in there they can actually

[12:02] challenge the agency's right to come down. And then of course, if we go through the process

[12:10] of the city of Pennsylvania. We don't use it for 10 years. There's not a avenue for the

[12:16] problem or to get that problem back.

[12:22] So now, I debated on whether to try to put this on multiple slides, it makes sense. I tried

[12:30] to, so it's all on one slide, but I'll kind of walk a certain, this is actually a flow chart

[12:34] that explains city of Louisville's process for going through the acquisition process. This is

[12:42] to public infrastructure projects, process a little bit differently for projects for building a building

[12:49] or buying on a piece of property, the simple facility, or a park.

[12:55] Can I add one thing there?

[12:57] So just to clarify, so for public infrastructure projects, we're talking about projects that you guys

[13:02] may be on your bond program, it might be on capital projects we know we're going to happen, coming forward.

[13:08] So we know these are things that council has directed us to move forward with.

[13:13] But on top of that, Dave is going to just go through the process in a little bit.

[13:16] But once we get to that negotiation, I just want to remind you in your head,

[13:21] we are doing far more than what the state requires of going back and forth.

[13:25] The negotiations of your first offer to your second offer,

[13:28] which is your final offer, basically, we may have,

[13:32] well, sometimes we have more than two offers.

[13:33] we may have like 10 offers or you know 11, 12, whatever it comes to trying to get to that end

[13:39] where we're negotiating with them. So just realize that we're coming to you to just educate

[13:46] you on this but also noting that we're going to be putting this into a standard operating procedure

[13:51] for the department going forward so that it becomes very understandable that we are trying to work

[13:57] with the owner and try to do a friendly acquisition before we ever pull the imminent domain.

[14:04] I had a really quick question about that too.

[14:06] When we present the final offer, I assume we tell them this is the final offer before week.

[14:13] We don't just give them two in the bill.

[14:16] The minute domain.

[14:19] Well, and typically, I'll...

[14:22] With the final offer,

[14:24] and we'll get into this a little bit in a few minutes.

[14:28] But with the final offer,

[14:29] especially if it's the final offer before going into Amazon at Domain.

[14:36] A lot of the things that we negotiate on the front, go away and go away and go away.

[14:42] Some of the special conditions we can negotiate and some of the special issues with language that we've negotiated.

[14:49] But we end up going to go away and go back or stand on these medications.

[14:54] We explain all that when we make that final offer.

[14:58] Thank you.

[15:01] So, on this floor chart, we start the red box and we always try to end up here done on a quarter of the green box.

[15:11] And then the other thing I wanted to mention is that if we've got an easement or a parcel where it's going to cause someone to have to remove or relocate, that's an entirely separate process that we have to go through.

[15:24] the front's parallel to our right of way and the easement acquisition.

[15:29] So on those parcels where we either,

[15:31] somebody has to move out of their house or where they have to relocate their business.

[15:35] There's a whole process on how to do that,

[15:37] and it's all steeped in the state law that we have to follow.

[15:41] You step by step to do that.

[15:45] So again, start here at the front box.

[15:48] We typically start our easement in the right of way acquisition.

[15:51] once the project is 60% designed at that point we're far enough along that people could

[15:58] look at the plans of the thing we're proposing. At that point in the process we've already

[16:03] engaged property orders either through getting access to survey the property and a lot of cases

[16:11] we've already had our first public information meeting about the project with the residents.

[16:18] Well, so by the time we get here, the people who are being affected know that there's

[16:25] a project in their Twitter or in their area.

[16:35] So at that point, at the 60% design, we identified those orders that we know we're going

[16:41] to have to get right away from business again at this point.

[16:44] we know that we're right away from each other.

[16:48] Parental discussions and exhibits and at that point

[16:51] is where we typically prepare a resolution

[16:54] to break the city council and then become the city council.

[16:59] Now, that resolution authorizes staff

[17:03] to paying property for the project,

[17:07] whether that be negotiation or that last case scenario

[17:11] So I'm going to tell you a little bit about how we're going to do that.

[17:16] Once we hand that out, once staff has our authority to get in property for our project,

[17:23] we make a decision based on the size of the project and how many power sources and how complicated

[17:28] it's going to be whether or not we're going to use a white and white acquisition consultant.

[17:35] And whether or not we're staff doesn't, whether the white and white acquisition consultant does the process.

[17:40] It's all the same, it's just a difference of who's actually going to do a process.

[17:47] At that point, we start calculating how property value is.

[17:53] Now,

[17:56] a lot of parcels on our screen projects and utility projects.

[17:59] They're very tiny sometimes.

[18:01] If a parcel was under 200 square feet, oftentimes we ask the property owner

[18:08] really donate parcel. And sometimes they do it surprisingly, but if they don't, that's okay, obviously,

[18:18] as well. Small parcels, rather than paying for a prasal, will start out asking for a donation.

[18:28] And if that's not acceptable, then we'll pay to look at the D-CAD value and make an offer based on a D-CAD value.

[18:35] And again, we're talking about parses that are under 200 square feet, so parses themselves.

[18:40] You know, maybe we're paying around $700 to make $1,000.

[18:45] So that's what we try out of the way those price goes in a price will cost at a minimum of $22500.

[18:54] On the larger parses, we won't rethink if it's going to be a fee-simple purchase.

[18:58] or if we know that we're going to have some difficulty or property owner, we just jump straight into the appraisal.

[19:07] And then, once that property value was determined either by appraisal or decad,

[19:13] we made that first offer.

[19:16] And, of course, at this point, we've already got the signal.

[19:20] It's okay to move forward with the app positions.

[19:23] and so we're handing them that bland over his bill of rights at that point.

[19:30] All of our files for a second, that why that's important is because from that point, when we hand over that

[19:36] land under the bill of rights, we're already working on a process that allows us to move.

[19:41] If the ultimately all of this work will go, if you can't come to an agreement, we can pull the trigger and do

[19:47] a minute domain at the end of the day. Otherwise, we would end up having to redo this process.

[19:52] we don't follow the rules exactly. So that's why the order of things become very important.

[20:00] And of course, they either accept the offer, they don't, of course, they accept the offer, then we process payment, property order, and then we file the easement of debt and cally.

[20:10] If they don't, that's when we start negotiation. At this point, negotiation, I mean, sometimes the, sometimes the a property owner has an alternate appraisal that they want to present, oftentimes, oftentimes that we look at additional cops.

[20:28] So maybe if we can't come to terms on a price,

[20:33] sometimes the co-oper of co-oper or the co-oper

[20:35] or the co-oper comes back to the co-oper

[20:37] so that we can consider some kind of revised

[20:40] the plan.

[20:41] Oftentimes, the property are so well,

[20:46] if you widen my drive like I find feet,

[20:50] you know, something you'll offer to you,

[20:53] if you widen my drive like we're doing my fence.

[21:00] Sometimes we decide to change the plan as to produce the size of the easement for an example

[21:06] on corporate drive, we wanted to reduce the size of the slow easement, so we had some additional

[21:12] retaining involved, so there would reduce the size of some of the slow easements.

[21:17] So the things we do, as sometimes we deal with the easement, like which I mentioned earlier,

[21:24] Sometimes the property owner is popular with a different

[21:26] piece of language than our standard documents,

[21:28] who work with the property owner's on man as well.

[21:35] Once we take all that into account,

[21:37] they make a counter-offer.

[21:39] They of course, they either accept if they don't.

[21:42] And then, of course, if they don't,

[21:44] then we continue to decide whether or not

[21:46] we want to continue negotiating

[21:48] depending on where we are, how far apart we are.

[21:50] that this is the circle that the city manager was talking about was that we can go around this

[21:56] circle and make a counteroffers and several times I would say on the average we go around that

[22:02] circle three times often it is much more than that. So we continue to work with that property owner

[22:10] as long as we feel we make the progress and that we're slowly, we're slowly meeting somewhere in the middle

[22:17] continue to go around that circle. Of course, at some point, even when too far apart, we know

[22:23] we're not going to get there or is just taking too long and we can't come to terms. It's a bad

[22:30] point. I just wanted to make a quick point because this is something that I didn't realize

[22:37] was part of the process until I went through it myself. There's a third party in all of these

[22:47] market, which if they have a mortgage, the mortgage company is on all of this, too.

[22:51] So this is not always about a property owner that's being unreasonable.

[22:55] It could be about a mortgage company that's being unreasonable.

[22:57] It could be a mortgage company that is being very unresponsive.

[23:03] So that is another reason why this whole process can take a long time.

[23:08] We're down at five, and that's, so just don't give a round of time.

[23:11] Yeah, no, no, no, that is good point, because that happens.

[23:13] I mean, the mortgage company has to sign the amusement document.

[23:16] And so there you go, but we're coming here to the end.

[23:20] So at that point, if we can't come to terms

[23:23] or too far apart, or it's just taking way too much time

[23:26] or the profaners becomes not a response of at that point,

[23:30] to make that final offer,

[23:34] and we initiate, and again,

[23:37] to make that final offer, they have one more chance

[23:39] to either take them, but at that point, we initiate

[23:43] I'm going to donate, which is the process of talk about what was earlier,

[23:49] so at that point,

[23:50] I'm going to turn it back over to Claire.

[23:51] Yeah, I have some questions actually.

[23:53] I'm going to take a look at this life, please.

[23:57] So that poor blue box, I felt there, it says things that you can't approve of.

[24:02] This is, this is our agenda item, right?

[24:03] This is, we could go through help and be into Jedi.

[24:06] Do we make any telemetry with the public in the red box over there?

[24:09] So they know something's coming.

[24:11] Best of all worlds are watching the agenda.

[24:13] This is your pops up.

[24:14] Is there, can we notify that back to our use?

[24:17] Or do people think we'll be affected?

[24:19] But we have accounts for me to make it up.

[24:20] Here's what I want to avoid.

[24:22] There's somebody seeing that coming up.

[24:24] The address has to report the comment.

[24:26] Now, I can't engage them because it's not on the side of the specific agenda.

[24:31] I don't.

[24:31] Or do I have the right to engage them because it's on the agenda?

[24:34] So, if it's on the agenda, like you can't people can show up and you can talk through anyone who shows up.

[24:40] I think, or you make sure I'm asking you, you're just asking me if people can show up in the talk to them.

[24:46] You're just asking, yes.

[24:48] And is there a reason why we don't, or are we not applying?

[24:51] We don't.

[24:52] We provide the notice as required by law.

[24:54] So really, everything is, because it's so highly regulated, we do everything by law.

[25:00] By the state. The one thing we do with this more restrictive on ourselves is how many times we go through that loop on the back end.

[25:08] There are, you know, I think your question is whether or not we can over-notice and provide more notice for those property owners.

[25:16] I think that there is some consequences that may come along with that you can. We could do that.

[25:23] My recommendation would not be to do that to comply with law as it sets, but let me walk through some of those concerns.

[25:33] So, one of them, we know this is an infrastructure project that moving through.

[25:39] This is on a bond program where something like that.

[25:43] David, by the time we get to 60% of the design, the instructions to all engineers, as you would know,

[25:49] is that we're going to try to find the most efficient way

[25:52] to proceed with this process.

[25:54] The project we're going to not try to take as many properties

[25:58] as possible.

[25:59] In fact, we want to reduce down those costs as much as possible.

[26:02] So in those situations, you could end up having

[26:05] and we don't have the appraisal chip.

[26:07] So you could have people, you may end up creating more concern

[26:12] that really needs to be because the negotiations

[26:14] working with the developer, not the developer,

[26:17] working with the property owner comes later, but you may have people that bring great concern

[26:22] or may just be against the project. The worst case scenario from a staff perspective is that

[26:28] someone shows up is really angry about it and Council directs us to go back and redesign the project.

[26:34] We can end up in a loop of redesign, so we redesign now we have two or three more property owners that are

[26:39] now effective and now we come back and does Council tell us to redesign again.

[26:43] The best case scenario is we move forward and that negotiation happens in this process, the way the state has directed it to happen.

[26:53] My preference is to keep it the way it is.

[26:56] And really the hope was to have that touch point today with you guys where we are giving the assurance that we're going to put this process which is more restrictive than what the state says to put into a standard operating procedure to make sure you guys are comfortable with it.

[27:11] But ultimately, we are going to be bringing you guys future ordinances, and I wanted to make sure I had this touch point that we're all on the same page to move forward before we did that.

[27:21] I do appreciate the detail.

[27:23] I would submit that the board council members can be convinced that this is why I'm going to do a box for it.

[27:28] Then this is probably what we should be doing.

[27:30] I do that because I had that need to add some in as a pre-planetary concern.

[27:34] But it's not like the very box would get put as pipeline.

[27:37] I think the more expensive comes to go back to use that process, so I would also submit that

[27:41] I'm going to have a really good process better than well now with reporters to this process

[27:46] that we're going to redesign.

[27:47] I think the hard part on that, though, is when you end up redesigning in the front end, none

[27:51] of the other acquisitions are happening, so everything gets put on pause while we're redesigning

[27:56] and then if we end up affecting more people in that, I think later on, everything's moving

[28:01] tangentially together in a forward direction and we're getting to the end more efficiently

[28:07] but then still working with those property owners.

[28:09] I respect the concern I really do, but I'm going to come back again and assert that if somebody makes such a compelling case this way for council members, that's where it should happen as a print.

[28:19] I wouldn't like that. I'd like to see notice go out that through my one-to-three process.

[28:25] That's just me.

[28:28] I don't know what that got.

[28:30] Another minute or two, if anybody has any input, we're going to see this again.

[28:34] We can come back if we want to have that again.

[28:36] like. Let's do that. Let's go ahead and take, we got two minutes to, before we

[28:39] need to get out of here. So, we'll go ahead and put this on pause for moment to

[28:43] come back to this room after we've done the pledges and we'll go from there.

[28:50] Good evening. We're going to call this meeting at the Lewisville City Council

[28:53] regular session to order. We do have a quorum. First thing on our agenda

[28:56] died is the invocation with Council Member Christen Green.

[28:58] We stand with me. Join me for a moment. It was my contemplation before we

[29:04] Thank

[29:19] you.

[29:21] Mayor Protem Kelly?

[29:23] You don't need a playlist.

[29:26] What do you want to listen to?

[29:27] To the water of the United States or America?

[29:30] To the water of the citizens?

[29:32] One nation?

[29:33] To the United States or America?

[29:34] And in the middle, with liberty and justice for all?

[29:39] On the Texas side, I believe the city, Texas,

[29:43] one state of the United States or America?

[29:45] One, and in the middle.

[29:46] Well,

[29:49] we are going to go reading the back in a workshop, so Council, if you would mind,

[29:55] we'll circle back and just button down the last couple of things we need to do in the

[29:58] workshop.

[29:59] And then we will-

[30:00] We turn momentarily.

[30:06] Work back through this. Council on the other comments, questions concerns about the process. Would you like what you don't like?

[30:14] Well, I mean, just to follow up with what Patrick is saying, there is some sort of notice that there is going to be some type of public infrastructure project on the stage or streets.

[30:28] So, it may not, we may not notice individual property owners that this is a baby we might

[30:38] have to.

[30:41] So, and I guess what you're saying is that you think we should start doing that.

[30:48] At the early 60% design.

[30:50] We've already been noticed because there's a public meeting.

[30:54] The red box, I just can't correct.

[30:56] The public meeting is the, are we actually infected?

[30:58] People are going to be, what is that?

[31:01] Well, yeah.

[31:02] At that point, I'm talking about a broad, you know,

[31:04] the notice that everybody on the streets in a dollar off.

[31:07] There are even a dollar off, there are even a dollar off,

[31:09] every time.

[31:11] So, now that's the community can put me in the red box

[31:14] or that just...

[31:14] The community can put me in the red box or that just...

[31:15] How would it be noticed?

[31:16] You know, plus, plus, but we have to get permission to serve, right?

[31:19] Okay.

[31:20] Now, is that through some sort of letters that the word about us at our point is a provided by the surveillance of the city?

[31:27] Okay, so, you know, I was looking forward, in addition to that,

[31:30] that he is going to be able to agenda, whatever that 40 bucks was over,

[31:34] that that's a testing answer I was looking forward.

[31:36] I understand that there are just ones that I can understand that,

[31:38] okay, there's a big deal for you.

[31:39] You should be watching the agenda, say sometimes two months.

[31:42] It's now on me at West Virginia's.

[31:44] I rather err on the side of the community now.

[31:47] It's such a, taking somebody's property, such a big deal to me.

[31:52] I'm not sure that we know, though, at that stage, because even when it does show up on our agenda,

[32:01] if what I'm recalling the way it has gone in the past, and maybe I'm wrong because it's been a minute since we've done one,

[32:08] that it's kind of a broad stroke where we give authorization to start the process.

[32:15] if needed, but we don't already know exactly which properties do we do, we do, we do, okay.

[32:22] And we know the actual extent, what we're going to need and everything.

[32:26] The actual, why don't we like it?

[32:28] These are the parcels and the descriptions, and we said,

[32:31] that's a lot of cash to that resolution.

[32:35] Do we have an idea of what type of cells it for me personally would this happen in my street?

[32:43] I was so excited that the project was happening, you know, and I have to imagine I'm not the only one who, or people are like, yes, we need an aside walk on this side of the street forever, yes, I'm willing to give a little extra to make that happen.

[32:59] What kind of person is do we have of people happy and okay with it versus the pushback that we get?

[33:07] Non mortgage company related.

[33:09] Thank you.

[33:10] Back then.

[33:10] I mean, take words on the equation.

[33:13] Most of the time, we really don't have problems.

[33:15] I mean, like I said, especially on a project like college tree, you know, a lot of

[33:20] those sort of little triangles, little quarter clips.

[33:23] A lot of times, people don't make those, you know, sometimes they want to be paid and that's fine.

[33:29] Well, I would say more times than I thought they're happy with the D.K.

[33:31] I've been, you know, calculated based off the D.K.

[33:34] I mean, you know, we do very few.

[33:38] I mean, since I've been here, we've done very few dominant delaying processes.

[33:45] I think I hear what you're saying.

[33:47] At the same time, I also hear a clear saying,

[33:50] and I don't want to create a process that's so honorized for this staff

[33:56] that really ends up causing a bunch of work for no reason,

[34:02] maybe just somewhere in between.

[34:05] So let me ask this question the, I hear you went to the blog post that, I would like to push that as far as possible, because the further it gets along this, the harder it becomes, I'm going to not be able with that process of the kids.

[34:16] What's that trend in the situation, it's harder and harder to stop.

[34:20] So what I'm hearing is, how many hours anybody can play?

[34:22] Their further list is very, very low, that anybody can come up and try to persuade for council members to pull the top line.

[34:28] So that's a very low risk.

[34:29] So, talking to me about the alcohol

[34:33] presenting out a notification that we have a council meeting coming up.

[34:36] Is it a expense of process, a time-consuming process,

[34:40] or would be the whole thing happen?

[34:41] I mean, there's some financial two minutes.

[34:44] I don't think it's significant.

[34:46] I mean, I don't know.

[34:46] I don't know.

[34:47] I don't know.

[34:48] I don't know.

[34:49] Well,

[34:51] I mean, of course, at that time,

[34:53] point, we already know who the owners are,

[34:55] what their addresses are.

[34:56] Yeah, so for a financial standpoint, I don't think it that's-

[35:00] I think it's really just, we don't have all of, we don't have the appraisals done yet. So it's coming in with half information, but it is on the agenda. I guess the issue is going to be from also from a, you have someone who shows up who's against the project and who is, or just does not want their property taken at all.

[35:26] If I would say 99% of the time you're going to still say go forward with it and so there's that issue as well.

[35:35] This is public infrastructure, right?

[35:37] So we're talking about that.

[35:38] This is not a nice thing.

[35:39] It has to be all public.

[35:41] It has to go through and has to go through there.

[35:43] So the public information made is for his done per law, right?

[35:48] So basically we're doing another meeting just for what we've already done.

[35:52] and maybe start with, correct, basically.

[35:54] See, not again, I'm sorry.

[35:55] So we're doing a public information meeting in the start.

[35:58] So I'm not sure I understand the point of doing

[36:00] the brain, the meeting, another meeting to the council.

[36:03] I'm sorry, you don't know what you're talking about.

[36:04] No, it's like you just want to notice the vigilance.

[36:07] I'm not talking about talking about this at this meeting.

[36:09] It's already sorry on the agenda.

[36:10] So it's a may-other's who I'm asking for.

[36:12] But I think what the point that you're making about,

[36:15] we don't know what the appraisals are going to be

[36:18] and that's the part where I get nervous

[36:21] that if I don't want to call people to the household meeting, if we don't have all the answers

[36:26] to their questions, and that's the biggest one for half.

[36:30] What's the value of what what are you going to give me for this?

[36:34] And so I have a feeling that it makes me nervous because it makes me feel like we're creating

[36:40] a likelihood of having friction because don't tell me you're going to take it unless you're

[36:44] going to tell me what you're going to give me for it.

[36:48] So I understand that, I wouldn't admit that at any point from that slow forward, somebody

[36:55] shows up at a council meeting, to speak to an open comment, that I will make a motion that

[36:59] we put that on the agenda for next time, so we can talk about it.

[37:02] Then I have to, and I have to be supportive of that happening.

[37:04] But that's fine.

[37:06] But I, there's so many of you said to talk about it, I want to be able to engage a person

[37:09] that they're going to have a look right right out there, and I want to make sure we can

[37:12] engage in an ultimate fashion from the diets, and I can't do that except for the one box

[37:16] way at the beginning.

[37:18] Yeah, so I mean typically to put anything on the agenda, you have the mayor and two council

[37:21] members, but yeah.

[37:22] Sure, you would have to help that that's going to be an issue.

[37:25] I think the child allows me to make a motion right there with that happens, so that's a little

[37:28] back and forth.

[37:29] But I don't know if it would be a motion, but you could just, I don't know if you could make

[37:33] a motion.

[37:34] But we can look at that.

[37:35] I'm not sure.

[37:38] But just to, if this comes through council, council says, yes, move forward.

[37:45] And then down the line, somebody wants to reach out to one of us individually.

[37:52] We can engage with them individually.

[37:54] We're just not in a visitor's for it, right?

[37:57] Right.

[37:58] So it's not one of those things when we can't still engage with them and ask staff to work with them.

[38:05] But I'm still not going to be engaging with them in an open council meeting regarding a land acquisition and in price assistance.

[38:16] Well, I don't know whether I'm going to be talking about, but I like to be able to have a conversation.

[38:26] I'm hearing as we feel like there's a lot of safeguards to keep the process as it is.

[38:30] Yeah.

[38:30] It's welcome for...

[38:32] Okay.

[38:34] Patrick, I think you've got to see what the field you can against him.

[38:38] So, I want you to ruin a different direction.

[38:42] This is not maybe super uncomfortable.

[38:43] I would be more comfortable with what I'm going on.

[38:46] That's what I'm saying.

[38:47] So, there's nothing about this argument.

[38:48] Oh my God, I can't sleep tonight because I'm going to do something tedious.

[38:51] It feels a little disingenuous and we don't want to be in public as possible because we don't want somebody to make a fuss at the beginning.

[38:57] That's now where we have a transparency issue.

[39:00] We're hoping to apologize for the grant.

[39:01] How did they find out about the first meeting?

[39:03] Does that exact exact exact same thing?

[39:04] So the first meeting, yes.

[39:05] So it's time to name a hand in light.

[39:07] So I was going to suggest for that.

[39:09] You know, because they know that this project is coming.

[39:12] Maybe you just thought now what extent on their property.

[39:14] I mean, we can do over here in a new communication on the front end going.

[39:17] This is going to be going to a council meeting in...

[39:19] in the next 60 days lately.

[39:24] You know, this may affect your property.

[39:26] This is how you can check for online, you know,

[39:29] that's how I come.

[39:31] Yeah, that's the best.

[39:33] Oh, I don't know a lot.

[39:34] That word.

[39:35] Thank you.

[39:36] Okay, thank you.

[39:37] Oh, I've got a lot.

[39:38] Any discussion?

[39:40] If you guys, you got to put your information.

[39:43] We'll have to coming to you in the next few days.

[39:51] All right, good evening and thank you for your patience.

[39:54] We have a couple of proclamations actually three so first up tonight.

[40:00] We have our proclamation regarding hunger and homelessness awareness, who's my team coming up for this

[40:16] welcome.

[40:18] And you're going to use the microphone after me, right? Perfect.

[40:23] How we got our friends from CCA?

[40:28] Just stand directly behind me and rabbit ears. Usually everybody does rabbit ears, it's perfect.

[40:32] So we have our friends here from CCN, of course our staff who deal with this area, but this is homeless and homelessness and hunger awareness week.

[40:44] We have a proclamation, so whereas hunger and homelessness awareness week is recognized with the purpose of educating the public on the current state of hunger and homelessness in our community.

[40:52] And whereas the city of Louisville recognizes the need to address gaps in existing systems,

[40:57] as there are currently over 114,000 individuals living in Denton County experiencing food

[41:02] in security, 8.4% of Louisville residents were experiencing poverty as of July 2023, and

[41:08] there is a need for an additional 4,598 affordable housing units in Louisville available for households

[41:14] earning below 50% of the area median income.

[41:17] Whereas many organizations are dedicated to addressing food insecurity and supporting those facing

[41:21] housing or food crises, including Boys and Girls Club of Greater Terran County, Christian

[41:25] Community Action, Dent and County Friends of the Family, Journey to Dream, Metro Leaf,

[41:29] Span, the Salvation Army, and United Way of Dent and County.

[41:33] And whereas the City of Louisville will continue to efforts to create and preserve affordable

[41:36] housing and support social service providers to minimize hunger and homelessness in our

[41:40] community.

[41:41] Now, therefore, ITJ Gilmore Mayor of the City of Louisville and on behalf of the Louisville City

[41:44] Council.

[41:45] Do you hear by proclaim the week of November 17th through 23rd, 17th through 23th, 24th as

[41:50] and homelessness awareness week in Los little Texas and

[41:52] encourage residents to volunteer and support local groups and on

[41:55] profits working to ensure access to necessities like food and

[41:57] housing. So folks, what this means is we're in the season of

[42:02] giving but it needs to be around. We tend to focus on November and

[42:06] December but these organizations are working year round as is the

[42:09] city to figure out how we deal with the massive influx of people that

[42:13] are driving housing costs up. They are driving all costs up. I mean

[42:18] And that's just everybody wants to be here.

[42:20] And it's a supply and demand thing.

[42:22] I'm proud of our staff.

[42:23] And our council, we've done more than I think

[42:26] anybody in Dent & County to address the underlying

[42:29] systems of zoning and how we can better zone and provide

[42:34] housing opportunities, as well as lower some of that cost

[42:38] of housing access.

[42:39] We want awards for that.

[42:41] And we've got some great things going on.

[42:42] In fact, we've got our accessory dwelling

[42:43] unit program.

[42:45] Having some that are turned key, coming up.

[42:47] We've got a whole bunch of submittals for that.

[42:49] So I'm really excited about seeing how we can get more ADUs into the city.

[42:53] But again, due to Plexus, Triblexus being able to add that mixed housing component.

[42:58] There's a real gap between single family and like 16 to 18 unit apartment complexes.

[43:05] There's a middle there that can create affordable housing and create walkable neighborhoods

[43:09] and create opportunities for families to have housing options.

[43:13] And it takes time, but Louisville zoning and the way our council has addressed this is really placed us on the leading edge of being able to address it.

[43:21] Unfortunately, it takes time and it's not instant.

[43:24] The other piece I want to address on this is of course the food issue.

[43:27] And I wanted to let folks know that there'll be a shift in Den County this coming year in January 1st.

[43:32] And I can talk about it.

[43:34] I know some of the partners really kind of aren't supposed to be getting too far out ahead of it.

[43:39] But we are moving all of Den County will be under the Tarant Area Food Bank North, and so we are split currently, we're one of only 20 counties in the entire country that are split between two different food banks.

[43:51] So if you are used to giving to the North Texas Food Bank, wonderful organization, they've been our support for part of Louisville for 42 years and CCA for 42 years.

[44:03] They are stepping back and tearing area food bank North is stepping in.

[44:07] So if you're used to giving to North Texas food bank, you know, God love you.

[44:11] Thank you, continue to to give, but wait and ask that you consider shifting those funds to the

[44:17] tearing area food bank North because those will be more impactful for Louisville and Southern

[44:21] County.

[44:22] So if something to think about, but that's my two cents.

[44:24] I think this is really important, which is why I added more than my two cents.

[44:27] But I'd be more than happy if anybody would like to add.

[44:30] So we are very excited to recognize hunger and homelessness awareness.

[44:34] We care and lose the only one I want to thank some of our amazing partners who help do the work and our boots on the ground day to day and helping fight hunger and housing insecurity here in Denton County.

[44:45] So we want to recognize currently from Metro Relief who works in Street Outreach for people experiencing homelessness here in Denton County as well as Gilbert and Daphne from CCA who help with housing and food insecurity both.

[44:56] So we want to thank our amazing partners for the work that they do and recognize.

[45:00] Cites, then, from the players who make things happen here in Dent & County, and the city of Los Angeles Ysaltaf

[45:05] was excited to be able to do our part for hunger and homelessness awareness week last week,

[45:10] by doing our city staff food drive, shout out to our ITS Department for winning the donation

[45:14] competition, we're excited to take our steps forward in helping and home out, and food insecurity here in

[45:21] Dent & County in Los Angeles, so thank you so much.

[45:30] Thank you Citi-Cao-Sville, thank you mayor for raising this awareness staff as well.

[45:36] At CCA, we see hunger and homelessness as a serious issue.

[45:41] In Den County, the mayor mentioned the number 114 individuals in Den County, 34,000

[45:49] of those are children.

[45:51] And so hunger is a serious issue that we see our families face every day.

[45:56] Texas, by the way, is now ranks as the number one state in the nation in this area.

[46:02] food insecurity. We surpass the state of California earlier this year. And so hunger is a

[46:09] serious issue that our family's face and we appreciate the fact that this is brought

[46:15] some awareness to it. Anyone and everyone can do something about hunger. We recently had a

[46:21] seven-year-old boy who took it as a project to do a food drive in his neighborhood and his mom

[46:28] brought him over with the results of the food drive.

[46:31] He collected a lot of pounds from his neighbors,

[46:34] and he just went around his neighborhood

[46:35] and did a food drive.

[46:37] So we can all take some type of action to help fight hunger.

[46:41] Thank you.

[46:51] The photo we get to meet in our photo.

[46:53] There we are.

[46:54] Pretend you like each other.

[47:01] Thank you.

[47:10] All right.

[47:11] Next up, I see my master naturalists.

[47:14] Y'all, they have the best swag.

[47:17] They really do.

[47:18] Y'all, would you mind coming on up?

[47:21] OK.

[47:21] I got all these little pins, you've got to ask them about the pins because that's like a half an hour conversation for anyone who's got the landyards with the pins. It's really awesome.

[47:34] And so this is actually, we're celebrating 25 years of the master naturalist Elmfort chapter.

[47:42] So that is amazing and outstanding. We're really excited.

[47:45] So let me tell you a little bit about why we're doing this. So whereas the Texas master naturalist Elmfort chapter is celebrating 25 years of dedicated service to the residents of Denton.

[47:55] Cook and Wise Counties, and whereas the mission of the Texas Master Naturalist Elm

[47:59] Fort Program is to develop a core of well-informed volunteers committed to providing education

[48:04] outreach and service for the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within

[48:09] their communities throughout the state of Texas, and whereas since 1999, the members

[48:13] have contributed over 345,000 volunteer hours on more than 40 projects, including trail

[48:18] construction, habitat restoration, species monitoring, youth camps, educational programs, landowner

[48:23] consultation and natural resource interpretation for communities and whereas the

[48:29] Elmfort chapter has been a vital partner in Louisville's vision 25 plan,

[48:33] significantly advancing the city's goals to increase access to nature,

[48:36] conserve green spaces, and establish Louisville as a leader in natural resource

[48:39] preservation and urban biodiversity.

[48:43] Now therefore, I.T.J. Gilmore mayor of the city of Louisville and on behalf of the

[48:45] Louisville City Council, do hereby recognize Texas Master Naturalist Elmfort

[48:49] chapter this Monday, November 18th, 24 for 25 years of dedicated service, community engagement

[48:55] and efforts to preserve our natural resources in Lewisville, Texas, and urge all residents

[49:00] to observe the occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

[49:03] Go plan a native plant.

[49:06] So thank you to the Home for Master of Naturalists,

[49:11] I am greatly appreciative of the personal

[49:13] education that this group has given to me over the last several years.

[49:17] They are amazing stewards and are amazing educators and hopefully the word continues to get out of the way it has over the last few years

[49:25] So I will greatly give this microphone up to whom ever would like to accept this

[49:31] Thank you very much

[49:33] Thank you very much

[49:35] So our Elm Fort Chapter serves Dinton Cook and Wise Counties

[49:40] We have 270 members and our mission is to steward our natural areas and our natural resources and to help teach others to do the same.

[49:53] And out of the 40-pot projects that Mayor Gilmore mentioned that we have, many of those are right here.

[50:00] In Louisville and Louisville has been a great partner and just a fun fact at our 25th anniversary celebration that's coming up in December, the Louisville Parks and Recreation Department is going to be recognized as one of our great community partners, and so we are just thrilled to partner with them on many projects here in the great city of Louisville.

[50:28] And with me, are some of our superstar volunteers with and Dale and Deb and Mary and Michelle

[50:38] and they work on many of our projects in Louisville and throughout our three county area.

[50:49] Bill a little bit, we got some photos, I guess.

[51:00] I appreciate it.

[51:01] I am going to need some help with my fall-assers.

[51:03] They just didn't do nothing for sure.

[51:05] So I'm going to go to the demonstration garden.

[51:07] I know.

[51:13] It's in Miranda Malloy.

[51:15] I

[51:23] have a certificate of recognition for this young lady, Miranda Maloy.

[51:27] She is NRPA's young professional fellowship award winner this year.

[51:33] The Louisville City Council would like to commend Miranda on receiving the National

[51:37] Recreation and Park Association's Young Professional Fellowship.

[51:40] This prestigious fellowship provided Miranda with an invaluable opportunity to explore NRPA's

[51:45] operations and leadership structures during the NRPA Annual Conference held October 8,

[51:49] under 10th, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia.

[51:52] As part of the fellowship, Miranda was matched with the mentor, engaged in a variety of

[51:56] conference sessions and meetings, and was formally recognized at the best of the best

[52:00] award ceremony.

[52:02] The program aims to inspire future leaders within NRPA and foster valuable professional connections.

[52:07] This accomplishment reflects Miranda's exceptional dedication to professional growth and her contributions

[52:11] to parks and recreation's field.

[52:14] T.J. Gilmore mayor of Louisville on behalf of the City Council extend a congratulations

[52:26] Thank you so much, it's an honor to not only receive this award, but to bring it home for Lewis Phil.

[52:33] One thing that maybe we didn't highlight, but it's a huge kind of mind-boggling thing.

[52:37] There were two of us from Texas that one out of the entire world.

[52:41] So this is an international kind of agency, so this is a really big win for Texas.

[52:45] I know there's some things that Texas needs to work on, but in recreation, we should be leading the charges.

[52:50] all of us really, really care, so I'm so honored to bring this home and work in a city as beautiful as Louisville and I dedicate my award and all that I do for my children,

[52:59] Ellie Matt, Selena and my sons of Ashton who's up and have been watching over us.

[53:03] So I'm so grateful to be a steward of this department and here with y'all.

[53:07] Thank you so much.

[53:26] I don't think I broke anything.

[53:48] All right, moving on.

[53:50] Item D1, public hearing.

[53:52] Consideration on an ordnance granting special use permit for a gasoline

[53:54] service station on 10.508 acres legally described as law 41 Arbolix.

[54:00] See, Valley Ridge Business Park West is on general business and located at

[54:02] 751 West Main Street as requested by Ryan Alvarez, Kimley Horn and

[54:06] Associates on behalf of Wal-Mart stores number 18-6381, the property owner.

[54:11] Case number 24-05-6-SUP.

[54:16] Sam's club is proposing to add two new fuel dispensers to the existing gasoline

[54:20] in service station located on the south east portion of the property, the planning and zoning

[54:23] commission recommended unanimous approval 7 to 0 on October 15, 2024, and it's recommended

[54:29] the city council approve the ordinance to set forth in the caption above.

[54:32] We do have Mr. Richard Lutky, our planning director available for questions, and we do have

[54:36] Ryan Alvarez from Kimley Horge present a traffic circulation map during the public hearing.

[54:42] We now have a public hearing is now open, and Mr. Alvarez, if you would mind, name and

[54:47] of the record.

[54:50] Did you do any council members, Ryan Albrez, Kim Lee Horner, Associates, Hydros is going

[54:54] to be 1-1-0 Westtime in Country, Australia and California made the trip out to my thinking.

[55:00] Up on the screen, you're going to see a circulation exhibit, both currently on the screen here is the existing circulation onsite.

[55:10] The proposed project is adding fuel dispensers to the plan left of the existing canopy area.

[55:18] So, just keep in mind when I show the next screen, kind of the existing traffic flow onsite,

[55:23] most of it coming in from the south routing up along the front of the store or along the south side

[55:29] of the existing canopy. I think as you guys can see here there's along the south side there's actually

[55:35] kind of a conflict between the blue and the red arrows where we both have traffic incoming and

[55:42] the traffic leaving the fuel station. So part of the solution that we're proposing with the expansion

[55:47] is to kind of clean up some of that traffic. They're potential for collisions and just make

[55:52] overall circulation a little bit smoother.

[56:00] So here we have the proposed condition.

[56:03] The White-Out area is just to keep a clean look

[56:05] of what that proposed expansion will look like.

[56:08] So now we have two additional pumps on the left side

[56:12] of the existing canopy.

[56:14] We turned that south driveway to an exit only.

[56:18] Previously, it was an exit and an entrance

[56:20] to a car's going both ways there.

[56:24] Everywhere else on site, the circulation

[56:25] has stayed the same, allowing cars to enter from the north and then smoothly exit along

[56:32] the south. From a traffic perspective, adding the two additional pumps, because this is

[56:38] an existing use, does not necessarily generate more trips to the fuel station. Sam's idea

[56:45] and what they're growing out across all of Texas, as well as the United States, is adding additional

[56:49] it comes to help alleviate the existing queuing on site.

[56:53] So it gives cars more options to go to,

[56:56] to get their fuel, obviously, at a discounted rate as well.

[57:00] That's a quick run through of all the traffic,

[57:03] queuing, and the proposed project happy to answer

[57:06] any other questions, and thank you for your time.

[57:11] I guess the question, what kind of signs

[57:13] are going to be there, because that place, obviously,

[57:16] is a mess right now, so is there, are you going to have

[57:19] larger signs, so people can understand that,

[57:22] that new traffic flow.

[57:23] Yes, so we'll have additional signage on the south side

[57:26] because that'll be the biggest change for customers

[57:29] that we're used to maybe going in along the south side there.

[57:33] Sam's is also utilizing fuel attendants

[57:36] to help direct traffic a little bit smoother.

[57:39] So if there's a pump that's open ahead of another car,

[57:42] they'll be utilizing them to get trip cars in and out

[57:45] or a little bit overcooker.

[57:47] You almost want to do those one-way spikes, there, just, just, no, no, a little over the top, okay.

[57:56] Yeah, this is, I mean, hopefully that helps smooth this out because it isn't really challenging part of that parking lot.

[58:04] I had a question.

[58:06] What's, I really appreciate the idea of trying to, because that intersection there, where there's the crossing traffic.

[58:12] I've seen some near misses there quite a few actually, it is quite crazy there, so I appreciate the attempt to try to

[58:22] contain that and control it a little bit better.

[58:26] I am still worried that people are still going to be going

[58:31] on that red line coming north, that they're still going to because that curb is still so far back,

[58:39] that they're still gonna try to take that right.

[58:42] And what is these travel lanes

[58:46] through here that are the one ways,

[58:49] how wider those?

[58:51] Yeah, so the existing queuing lanes

[58:54] are gonna stay the same width.

[58:55] Those are always 12 feet.

[58:57] And then the one on the left side of the proposed expansion

[59:00] is gonna be closer to 18 to 20 feet.

[59:03] Forget the dimension off the top of my head,

[59:05] but it is quite wider than the rest of it.

[59:08] The reason we're not able to pull the curb all the way out is we still do have to provide access to the fuel delivery truck that exits out through there and that turn it's just a little steep for them to get out.

[59:21] Okay, yeah, I mean I assume it has to do with the truck.

[59:24] I just worry that the access lanes on the outside if those are both 18 to 20 feet.

[59:30] I just I would want to make sure that they're very well.

[59:34] that we have a lot of signage out there, because that's going to be wide enough to where people are going to think that's a two way.

[59:41] So just assigning it as much as possible so that they understand you're going the wrong way.

[59:47] Actually, we'll have signs on both sides, including the striped area, and then they'll be striped pavement as well for a do not enter and do not block.

[59:56] And we're not completely opposed to spikes.

[59:58] Yeah

[1:00:01] Do like luckies they have available signed for every car in the lot just about no trucks in here.

[1:00:06] Kind of thing but yeah. Other questions comments? Mr. Overs, thank you for your time.

[1:00:14] Thank you. Council, I'm taking motion to close public hearing.

[1:00:18] Move to close to public hearing.

[1:00:20] Second, I have a motion to second. Council, please vote.

[1:00:29] They did vote. I can't see it. There we go.

[1:00:36] Motion passes six or nothing. Thank you, council.

[1:00:38] Council, I'm taking motion to approve the ordinance.

[1:00:40] Okay,

[1:00:43] move to approve, the ordinance is set for in the caption.

[1:00:47] Second, motion to second, city attorney.

[1:00:52] This is an ordinance of the Lewisville City Council,

[1:00:54] amending the zoning ordinance by granting a special use permit

[1:00:56] for a gasoline service station on 10.5078 acres.

[1:01:01] Legalee described as Valley Ridge Business Park West,

[1:01:04] law 4-R1R, block C, located at West 751 West Main Street,

[1:01:09] and zone general business GB district, providing for a repealer

[1:01:12] several ability penalty and effective date

[1:01:14] and declaring an emergency.

[1:01:17] Council, please, please, though.

[1:01:21] Motion passes unanimously.

[1:01:23] Public hearing D2, consideration

[1:01:25] when ordinance granting a zone change

[1:01:26] from agricultural for open space, district

[1:01:28] to light industrial district on 4.909 acres.

[1:01:31] Out of the P, Higgins Survey, abstract 525, located at 610

[1:01:34] Hall for Prairie Road, as requested by Alan Reza,

[1:01:37] Ralph Johnny, the property owner, 24-08-8-Z.

[1:01:42] The subject property is located on the west side

[1:01:44] for its priority road approximately 72 feet north of Oak Tree Lane.

[1:01:47] The property owner wishes to reason on the property to lighten dustfield to facilitate a future office warehouse development.

[1:01:52] Planning and zoning commission recommended unanimous seven to nothing approval on October 15, 2024,

[1:01:57] and it is recommended that the City Council approved the ordinance to set forth in the caption above.

[1:02:01] Mr. Richard Loodkey, a Planning Director, is available for questions.

[1:02:04] And the public hearing is now open. I do not have any comment cards.

[1:02:09] There are no additional comments or questions from Council. I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing.

[1:02:15] actually I do have a comment. Because I do think it's worth mentioning. Anytime we're

[1:02:23] rezoning an A.O. that is adjacent to some residential. I do think it's worth mentioning

[1:02:30] that this area is highly industrial and there are some some A.O. and some legal non-conforming

[1:02:42] uses there right now for some residential, but the long-term plan is for this to continue

[1:02:51] to convert over to L.I., which is why this is in my mind an appropriate action it takes.

[1:02:59] So with that, I'll move to close the public hearing.

[1:03:03] Second.

[1:03:03] I have a motion in the second.

[1:03:06] Council, please vote.

[1:03:10] Motion close.

[1:03:11] Public hearing passage unanimously.

[1:03:14] I'll entertain a motion to approve the ordinance.

[1:03:22] Move to approve the ordinance.

[1:03:25] Second.

[1:03:26] Motion to approve.

[1:03:27] And a second city attorney.

[1:03:34] This is an ordinance of Louisville City Council.

[1:03:36] I'm ending the zoning ordinance by rezoning approximately 4.909 acres of land out of the

[1:03:46] from agriculture, open space, AO, district zoning, to light industrial, L.I. district zoning,

[1:03:52] correcting the official zoning map, preserving all of the portions of the zoning ordinance,

[1:03:56] determining that the zoning amendment here in May promotes the health, safety, and general welfare

[1:03:59] of the city, providing for a repealer, severability, penalty, and an effective date, and clearing

[1:04:04] an emergency.

[1:04:05] That's what we please vote.

[1:04:32] discussion, or taking action on items not listed on the agenda.

[1:04:35] Action can only be taken at a future meeting.

[1:04:38] I have no comments for visitors' form, so we will go ahead and move on to the consent agenda item

[1:04:45] All the following items on the consent agenda are considered to be self-explanatory by the council and will be enacted with one motion

[1:04:50] There will be no separate discussion on these items unless a council member or citizen so request for a citizen to request removal and item and a speaker card or e-comment must be filled out and submitted to the city secretary.

[1:05:00] And requesting that item F-6 be pulled from the consent agenda. I will entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda with the exception of item number F-6.

[1:05:09] Move to approve the consent agenda with the exception of item F-6.

[1:05:13] Second, item motion. Second, council, please vote.

[1:10:17] What about this? What about that? It's appreciate your patience.

[1:10:20] As I kind of give you a little bit of laundry that's to work through.

[1:10:23] I do want to take a minute to call specifically, David Solomon.

[1:10:26] We had a, we had a, we had a stoplight on Josie Avenue that came to my attention was malfunctioning.

[1:10:30] functioning. I think I put that in that like six a.m. on a Sunday morning, Dave responded

[1:10:35] back by 9 a.m. I got, I got, I was in my little coffee shop this morning and somebody

[1:10:40] came in and I hadn't seen the update to Facebook. It's a Patrick, what about that stuff?

[1:10:44] I got, I got a concern about that. It's already handled and gave me the run down, but David,

[1:10:48] thank you so much for being above and beyond. And that turned out I was not expected, but I

[1:10:52] appreciate it. Thanks so much.

[1:10:56] How's it going? I have nothing to report other than to just tell

[1:11:00] Everyone have a happy Thanksgiving and save travels if you are traveling.

[1:11:07] Councillor Jones?

[1:11:08] Sure.

[1:11:09] A couple of things.

[1:11:09] This weekend I was able to attend and present a proclamation to the Association of

[1:11:14] Chinese professionals.

[1:11:16] I was there with Mayor Madison and a few other people who offer proclamation as well as a

[1:11:20] very fun event.

[1:11:23] I was very happy with to meet some new friends and I did offer them American Army Development

[1:11:27] people because that is trying to push their their way or so I did the same. Also the city has launched

[1:11:35] the my Louisville customer service body if you're seeing the post on Facebook today or some

[1:11:39] comments on the free giveaway. Yeah, the terrifying thing that you wrote about. I mean some people went

[1:11:44] to have some flashbacks from the past but it is a great application we want you to use it to help

[1:11:50] it learn and become more patient. That's a lie. Thank you sir. Mayor, I actually forgot something that

[1:11:56] I would also like to have a shout out really quickly to the Park staff not this past

[1:12:03] weekend the weekend before we had a lacrosse tournament at Railroad Park and we had some

[1:12:08] rain that week and the last I think the last tournament that we had at Railroad Park in

[1:12:13] it up getting rained out as well. I mean the parks I don't know what they did. I think

[1:12:18] they were out there with sponges and blowers and they made it happen. They figured out how

[1:12:23] make it happen and I know that they got out there really early and they were working it hard.

[1:12:31] But the whole tournament went forward as planned and I just wanted to say thank you to our

[1:12:37] park skies for going above and beyond for that.

[1:12:40] Thank you.

[1:12:41] I have no reports other than National League of Cities, it was a great trip to Shia and I'm

[1:12:52] for the one that's going to be in Honolulu, actually.

[1:12:56] Yeah, I imagine you're going to wait a while for that one.

[1:12:59] It's going to be, yeah, it'll be, and I think, 20.45.

[1:13:03] Somewhere in there.

[1:13:04] Yeah, something like that.

[1:13:06] But I think that our staff, all through all of the departments,

[1:14:25] cities in Texas, some of the other cities in Texas, and I'll see confirmed that for the country

[1:14:31] as a whole.

[1:14:34] Talking to other city officials,

[1:14:39] sometimes it's just amazing what we have here. We don't

[1:14:43] sometimes it won't appreciate it.

[1:14:46] But beyond that, I do have some events at Louisville Grand Theatre

[1:16:26] And where's it located?

[1:16:27] At the Lewisville area, Chamber of Commerce, 5.5.1 North Valley Parkway.

[1:16:31] Great, thank you so much, Marshall.

[1:16:37] I do just have to like report.

[1:16:39] We are just under 86% full at 518.96 feet.

[1:16:44] All right.

[1:16:45] Hopefully we get some more rain.

[1:16:50] Quite over there.

[1:16:51] City manager?

[1:16:53] Just a couple of quick things.

[1:16:55] Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

[1:16:56] I would encourage everybody if you're feeling a little down, disconnected, not part of a local

[1:17:02] community.

[1:17:03] Find an opportunity to volunteer.

[1:17:04] There are a tremendous number of them you can reach out to City Hall.

[1:17:08] You reach out to your City Council and we can help you get you connected if you're feeling

[1:17:12] the need to find a way to get back to the community this holiday season.

[1:17:16] I also wanted to just let everybody know that I have a screech out that is living in my

[1:17:20] house and my backyard, so I'm very excited about that.

[1:17:23] And that is all that I have.

[1:17:25] We are going to go ahead and move into closed session in accordance with Texas Government Code Subjector D.

[1:17:56] We're going to be back in a regular session.
