00:02:18,836 --> 00:02:18,836
that don't look like prosper, places where there struggle and lack of peace. Guide our

22
00:02:24,875 --> 00:02:24,875

39
00:04:31,166 --> 00:04:31,166
first item is a presentation. That's to recognize the 2025 mayor's fitness challenge

40
00:04:36,238 --> 00:04:36,238
participants. Trevor. Welcome. Good evening, town council. In 2019, the town implemented the

41
00:04:53,154 --> 00:04:53,154
mayor's fitness challenge. This gives the residents of the town an opportunity to participate

42
00:04:59,861 --> 00:04:59,861
in a town wide wellness and fitness program. This is a service that the parks and

43
00:05:06,567 --> 00:05:06,567
recreation department offers to the community at no charge. The only requirement is that all

44
00:05:12,506 --> 00:05:12,506
residents register and submit all required information. As part of mayor bristol's five

45
00:05:19,112 --> 00:05:19,112
centers of excellence, this particular program falls under the pillar of wellness. In

46
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:26,320
order for participants to receive a complimentary shirt and be entered into a raffle,

47
00:05:34,294 --> 00:05:34,294
they were required to complete the respective seasonal challenge and submit all logged

48
00:05:41,302 --> 00:05:41,302
minutes to town staff. During the year's challenge, we received a total of 96

49
00:05:50,377 --> 00:05:50,377
submissions. Of those, 9625 completed all three seasonal challenges challenge and

50
00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:00,820
perspective. In 2024, we had a total of 70. Within the 2025 submissions, there was a total

51
00:06:08,728 --> 00:06:08,728
of 93,900 logged minutes, equaling 1565 hours. Our grand prize winner, unfortunately,

52
00:06:22,375 --> 00:06:22,375
was unable to attend this particular meeting, but I would like to recognize kareem

53
00:06:29,315 --> 00:06:29,315
charania for not only completing all seasonal challenges, winning the grand

54
00:06:36,489 --> 00:06:36,489
prize, but was also had the highest personal total of steps during the 2025 journey to 1000

55
00:06:45,831 --> 00:06:45,831
mile competition with little elm, texas. And for anyone who did not attend that particular

56
00:06:52,705 --> 00:06:52,705
meeting, the town of prosper are the reigning champions of that particular competition.

57
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:02,080
we're happy to present kareem charania as a recipient of the mayor's challenge coin for the

58
00:07:10,356 --> 00:07:10,356
2025 challenge, and also for any participants attending this meeting. I would like to

59
00:07:17,463 --> 00:07:17,463
recognize your accomplishment and your dedication. We are extremely proud and we are

60
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:22,900
looking forward to the 2026 challenge. We would like to recognize council member ray

61
00:07:35,514 --> 00:07:35,514
for completing all three seasons. We are very proud. With that, I completed them but

62
00:07:42,987 --> 00:07:42,987
I did not complete the form. Therefore no, it doesn't work. So with that, I do have the

63
00:07:49,227 --> 00:07:49,227
mayor's challenge coins challenge coins for you to present on my behalf whenever

64
00:07:54,031 --> 00:07:54,031
we get the winner here. So this is a very, very important thing to me. Councilmember ray is

65
00:07:59,370 --> 00:07:59,370
taking it, taking this challenge on quite well. He does send me so no one else has

66
00:08:04,074 --> 00:08:04,074
to do this. Alright. But when marcus goes out in the morning, when he's finished with his run

67
00:08:08,846 --> 00:08:08,846
and he's all sweaty, he sends me a picture of himself finishing his run. So I have I

68
00:08:13,985 --> 00:08:13,985
have visual evidence that he's completed the task that he's been presented with. So but the

69
00:08:19,423 --> 00:08:23,393
the mayor's fitness challenge, again, it's something that's near and dear to me. And it is not just a a, a season. It's a year long event. And so thank you, trevor and your entire

70
00:08:28,965 --> 00:08:28,965
team for making this happen. Appreciate you. Congratulations. Alright. Our next agenda item

71
00:08:44,648 --> 00:08:44,648
is to recognize a member of members of prosper fire and rescue department for their

72
00:08:49,319 --> 00:08:49,319
life saving efforts. Chief. Good evening. Mayor bristol town council, mr. Kronosaurus,

73
00:08:57,560 --> 00:08:57,560
tonight we're recognizing multiple firefighter paramedics who accomplished something

74
00:09:02,265 --> 00:09:02,265
truly extraordinary and also something fundamental to what we do. And that's saving a life.

75
00:09:08,404 --> 00:09:08,404
we're also recognizing the dispatcher who took the call and provided critical

76
00:09:12,775 --> 00:09:12,775
pre-arrival cpr instructions. Many firefighters and dispatchers dispatchers go

77
00:09:18,181 --> 00:09:18,181
their entire career before or without receiving a life saving award. I'm continually

78
00:09:24,220 --> 00:09:24,220
impressed by the outstanding results achieved by our members through their training. Through

79
00:09:28,591 --> 00:09:28,591
teamwork and professionalism. We also look forward to returning before you again soon

80
00:09:34,097 --> 00:09:34,097
to recognize additional crews for an incident that occurred just yesterday, when the swift

81
00:09:40,403 --> 00:09:40,403
and decisive actions of our crews helped save a 43 year old male who is now awake and alert

82
00:09:46,309 --> 00:09:46,309
at a local hospital after receiving cpr, defibrillation and advanced life support care

83
00:09:52,615 --> 00:09:52,615
by prosper fire rescue paramedics. So that was an amazing day yesterday and so

84
00:09:58,186 --> 00:09:58,186
good for us to hear that today. In that report from the hospital. At this time, I'd

85
00:10:03,426 --> 00:10:03,426
like to invite our our team forward, along with our medical director and those who

86
00:10:08,196 --> 00:10:08,196
responded that day, captain dwayne norvell, ryland duggan, william garrison, ramses

87
00:10:14,303 --> 00:10:14,303
escobar, chase lowry, shane youngblood and dispatcher belema dbp. Chief chief bonnie

88
00:10:29,117 --> 00:10:29,117
chief kennedy and doctor xeen, and also chief himes. Please come up. When someone's heart

89
00:10:40,962 --> 00:10:40,962
stops. Nothing else matters in that moment. There is no bigger mission, no higher priority

90
00:10:46,701 --> 00:10:46,701
than saving a life. That's why we exist as a fire department. Although we do many things,

91
00:10:52,773 --> 00:10:52,773
this is the most important thing we do because the actions taken by these men and women

92
00:10:58,278 --> 00:10:58,278
standing before you, a person is alive today who otherwise would not be a family was

93
00:11:04,719 --> 00:11:04,719
spared a loss. A future was preserved with a chapter still left to be written. That

94
00:11:10,791 --> 00:11:10,791
outcome is never accidental. It comes from the countless hours that they put forth in training,

95
00:11:16,964 --> 00:11:16,964
their teamwork, the tremendous commitment they have, the decision making skills. And

96
00:11:23,003 --> 00:11:23,003
again and again they answer the call with confidence and act with urgency and compassion. At

97
00:11:28,542 --> 00:11:28,542
this time, I want to introduce the best medical director in existence for prosper fire

98
00:11:32,746 --> 00:11:32,746
rescue medical director, doctor eric axene, to say a few words. It's quite an introduction.

99
00:11:44,691 --> 00:11:44,691
thank you chief. Thank you town council, I really it's a great honor to be here, to be able to

100
00:11:51,832 --> 00:11:51,832
represent something I'm so proud of. And it's a doctor's a lot of work to really be

101
00:11:59,338 --> 00:11:59,338
committed to things. And mayor, I'm so happy to hear you holding the health and wellness

102
00:12:04,276 --> 00:12:04,276
in such a high regard. It's really what we're all about is making our community safer and

103
00:12:09,415 --> 00:12:09,415
more healthy. As a physician, there are a lot of different ways that I've been able to

104
00:12:14,153 --> 00:12:14,153
serve, whether I'm on the field with the dallas cowboys as one of their doctors or in the

105
00:12:19,158 --> 00:12:19,158
clinic or in the e.r. Doing whatever we do in the e.r. Crazy chaos, but serving as

106
00:12:25,731 --> 00:12:25,731
medical director here for prosper has been something more fulfilling than anything else

107
00:12:30,803 --> 00:12:30,803
I've experienced as a physician, not just because I'm prosper and prosper. I don't know if

108
00:12:36,442 --> 00:12:36,442
that's the right word, but resident here. I just before I brag about these guys and the

109
00:12:43,648 --> 00:12:43,648
great thing they did, I, I just just honored to be here. And it's so important to I really

110
00:12:50,956 --> 00:12:50,956
want to let everybody know here in our community how lucky we are. I founded a company that

111
00:12:56,962 --> 00:12:56,962
does medical direction across the country. I work with more fire departments than there are

112
00:13:01,199 --> 00:13:01,199
40,000 of them. I don't have all 40,000 yet, but we I get to see a lot of fire departments,

113
00:13:09,508 --> 00:13:09,508
and I can tell you we have a very special thing here in prosper, and I can't name any

114
00:13:15,413 --> 00:13:15,413
names of places where I am medical director, but bar none above anything else, I've

115
00:13:21,119 --> 00:13:21,119
experienced, our team here in prosper is amazing, and it's been a lot of work and a lot of

116
00:13:26,957 --> 00:13:26,957
support from you to make this, this stuff happen. And I think that the cpr, save that we had

117
00:13:31,162 --> 00:13:31,162
as a testament to that 60 year old gentleman, a cancer patient, went into cardiac arrest. The

118
00:13:38,169 --> 00:13:38,169
son called 911 and as was mentioned earlier, I dispatcher appropriately started bystander

119
00:13:44,876 --> 00:13:44,876
cpr, which is probably one of the important cogs in the wheel that made this thing happen.

120
00:13:50,648 --> 00:13:50,648
and then we arrive. I think we defibrillated seven times total, six times without success. What

121
00:13:59,390 --> 00:14:03,260
that means is sometimes you'll try to use electricity to get the heart jumpstarted and it doesn't work. So you continue chest compressions. One thing from a medical perspective a

122
00:14:08,131 --> 00:14:08,131
lot of people don't understand is that if you interrupt cpr, it takes 14 chest compressions

123
00:14:14,838 --> 00:14:14,838
to get back to a perfusing rhythm so we can start bringing blood to the brain again. It's

124
00:14:19,410 --> 00:14:19,410
not a simple thing. It's not luck. Seconds count with these situations. And in cpr, even

125
00:14:26,383 --> 00:14:30,220
though we're pushing on the heart, I think it's important for us all to understand that we're really trying to save brain cells, because that's really the key for discharge.

126
00:14:34,491 --> 00:14:34,491
going home to your loved ones, fully functional. And it's amazing to me that we get close

127
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:40,296
to 20 minutes, which is almost unheard of to go through 20 minutes of cpr, to have this

128
00:14:45,335 --> 00:14:45,335
patient discharged home to cardiac rehab was absolutely amazing. And for that, I think

129
00:14:51,941 --> 00:14:51,941
it's not. Obviously, I'm kind of bragging on the guys here. Our our is amazing and

130
00:14:57,153 --> 00:14:57,153
it's an honor for me to serve them. But it's it's you too. It's our community. It's our

131
00:15:03,192 --> 00:15:03,192
leadership here in this town. Beautiful town I love that is put us in a position where we

132
00:15:08,498 --> 00:15:08,498
can do things like this. And it's a real honor to be here. I could talk all day because I'm.

133
00:15:15,471 --> 00:15:15,471
I feel like a dad to all these guys. I'm that old, but they are amazing. Yeah. Me too. So.

134
00:15:23,178 --> 00:15:23,178
thank you for the honor to speak today. It's a real pleasure. And congratulations,

135
00:15:27,849 --> 00:15:27,849
gentlemen. You representing our department, our town very well.

136
00:15:50,539 --> 00:15:50,539
thank you. Great job. Thank you. Thank you brother. Appreciate. Ramsey's. Hey, buddy. Shane

137
00:16:09,023 --> 00:16:09,023
youngblood. William garrison, thank you gentlemen. Captain dwayne norman. Great job. Chase

138
00:16:34,149 --> 00:16:34,149
lowry. And. And. Thank you for being here. Thank you chief. With that said. I got to do a

139
00:16:55,336 --> 00:16:55,336
tour in dispatch right before christmas. And I think very often we under hype the value

140
00:17:02,976 --> 00:17:02,976
of the dispatcher that is is so important and getting things going. So I just want to say

141
00:17:08,015 --> 00:17:08,015
thank you again to you and your entire team there. You guys don't get the glory that many

142
00:17:12,986 --> 00:17:12,986
times. That is, you're back in that dark room looking at a computer screen and doing a lot

143
00:17:18,458 --> 00:17:18,458
of work. But thank you very much for that. Haven't gone forgotten on us. We appreciate

144
00:17:22,662 --> 00:17:22,662
everything that they do and they are very, very critical during that time frame to keep

145
00:17:27,867 --> 00:17:27,867
them. Give us a I always say if if we have a viable chance, our crews are going to get you back,

146
00:17:33,906 --> 00:17:37,876
they're going to they're going to they're going to make that difference like they did in this case. They're going to make that difference just like they did yesterday. But it

147
00:17:41,814 --> 00:17:41,814
takes that to help and sometimes guide someone and calm them down and to do those

148
00:17:46,185 --> 00:17:46,185
kind of things, to give us that chance. And so we appreciate it. Another question for doctor

149
00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:51,590
vaccine would be is so 20 minutes of cpr, how long on each guy is that isn't that I

150
00:17:57,362 --> 00:17:57,362
think it's just like about a minute or two and they're swapping through and yeah. So I

151
00:18:01,434 --> 00:18:01,434
mean that's everybody on the team here was fully involved in this. So they are and and to

152
00:18:06,572 --> 00:18:06,572
through we have some equipment on all of our ambulances that for chest compressions. So they

153
00:18:12,044 --> 00:18:12,044
still have to do a lot of it manually. But then we move them over to to a machine that helps

154
00:18:17,849 --> 00:18:17,849
do that, a lucas device that helps get them to the hospital and and is also very

155
00:18:23,689 --> 00:18:23,689
instrumental, but it wouldn't happen without any of them. Thank you. Congratulations you

156
00:18:27,859 --> 00:18:27,859
all. I know. Thanks for leadership. Thank you, thank you. Skinny skinny skinny

157
00:18:42,574 --> 00:18:42,574
skinny. Alright, one. Two three. And then. Well done. Thank you, thank you, thank you chief.

158
00:18:54,885 --> 00:18:54,885
thank you. Appreciate it. Alright. With that our next agenda item is another

159
00:19:09,967 --> 00:19:13,637
highlight and that is to recognize the prosper police department for receiving the law enforcement recognition program redesignation by the texas police chiefs association

160
00:19:21,145 --> 00:19:21,145
chief kowalski. Good evening, mayor and council. My name is jake sullivan. On behalf of the

161
00:19:32,990 --> 00:19:32,990
texas police chiefs association, I'm here to recognize the prosper police department for

162
00:19:37,527 --> 00:19:37,527
their third reaccreditation. This sets the gold standard for law enforcement to ensure you

163
00:19:42,366 --> 00:19:42,366
and your citizens that the police department respond and act at the highest standards

164
00:19:47,070 --> 00:19:47,070
possible in law enforcement. So with that being said, chief. Thank you, sir, on behalf of

165
00:19:55,678 --> 00:19:55,678
the texas police chiefs association, we're proud to announce that prosper has got

166
00:19:59,816 --> 00:19:59,816
their third accreditation. So every four years they go through an assessment, and that

167
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:04,720
assessment means that they meet the gold standard in policing in the state of texas. Thank

168
00:20:08,825 --> 00:20:08,825
you sir. Sir. Thank you. We appreciate it. Yes, sir. Thank you very much. Congratulations.

169
00:20:25,608 --> 00:20:25,608
thank you, thank you. I'll take a moment at the mic just to say this is obviously a team effort.

170
00:20:33,316 --> 00:20:33,316
this doesn't happen by ourselves. And it starts with the citizens. Something

171
00:20:38,153 --> 00:20:38,153
intrinsic and unique about prosper. We enjoy overwhelming support of the citizens. We

172
00:20:44,292 --> 00:20:44,292
enjoy the overwhelming support of the council constantly backing public safety. And it

173
00:20:51,166 --> 00:20:51,166
was incumbent upon us to return that confidence that's displayed in us by becoming

174
00:20:55,871 --> 00:20:55,871
part of the best practices program and assuring the citizens that we follow all the

175
00:21:00,142 --> 00:21:00,142
best practices in policing. And it's a award that is shared by the entire department because

176
00:21:07,749 --> 00:21:07,749
everybody had to pitch in. And it is incumbent upon me to recognize assistant chief scott

177
00:21:13,888 --> 00:21:13,888
brewer, also, who wanted to be here this evening. But he's away at a training for the one

178
00:21:19,293 --> 00:21:19,293
of the grants that we've received. But he wanted to be here also. That's the only

179
00:21:23,899 --> 00:21:23,899
reason he's absent and he is our program manager. So I wanted to mention him also. But

180
00:21:28,236 --> 00:21:28,236
I want to thank you all for your support. Have a good evening. Congratulations. As

181
00:21:38,346 --> 00:21:38,346
you can see, public safety is very important to the town of prosper. We'll move now to our

182
00:21:44,786 --> 00:21:48,156
consent agenda. Items placed on the consent agenda are considered routine in nature and non-controversial. The consent agenda can be acted upon in one motion, in

183
00:21:53,027 --> 00:21:56,130
non-controversial routine planning and zoning items where there was no opposition and were unanimously approved by the pnc commission and were no comments in opposition, have

184
00:22:00,468 --> 00:22:00,468
been received by the town council prior to the meeting. Also may be acted upon during

185
00:22:04,739 --> 00:22:04,739
this portion of the meeting. Items. Items may be removed from the consent agenda at the

186
00:22:09,010 --> 00:22:09,010
request of council members or staff. Is there anyone that would like to pull an item from

187
00:22:13,313 --> 00:22:13,313
the agenda? Seeing none, can I have a motion to accept the consent agenda? Make motion

188
00:22:20,187 --> 00:22:20,187
three 919 I would say there's more than that. Motion by marcus ray. Second second by

189
00:22:26,593 --> 00:22:26,593
jeff hodges. All in favor? That motion passes unanimously, six zero. Thank you very much.

190
00:22:38,672 --> 00:22:38,672
thank you. Thanks for being here. We appreciate it. Thank you. We'll move now to citizens.

191
00:22:49,883 --> 00:22:49,883
comments. The public is invited to address the council on any topic. However, the council is

192
00:22:54,186 --> 00:22:54,186
unable to discuss or take action on any topic not listed on the agenda. Please complete

193
00:22:58,624 --> 00:22:58,624
a public comment request form and present it to the town secretary prior to the meeting.

194
00:23:02,695 --> 00:23:02,695
please limit your comments to three minutes. If multiple individuals wish to speak on a

195
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:10,769
topic, they may yield their three minutes to one individual appointed to speak on their behalf. All individuals yielding their time must be present at the meeting, and the

196
00:23:13,973 --> 00:23:13,973
appointed individual will be limited to a total of 15 minutes. Is there anyone here

197
00:23:18,711 --> 00:23:18,711
tonight that would like to address the council? I have no public comment forms. Michelle.

198
00:23:24,116 --> 00:23:24,116
anything else? Thank you. All right then we'll move on to our regular agenda pursuant to

199
00:23:28,754 --> 00:23:28,754
section 551.007 of the texas government code, individuals wishing to address the council

200
00:23:33,592 --> 00:23:33,592
for items listed as public hearings will be recognized when the public hearing is open.

201
00:23:38,497 --> 00:23:38,497
agenda item number 20 is to conduct a public hearing and consider an act upon a request

202
00:23:42,901 --> 00:23:42,901
to amend the development standards, uses and conceptual layout of planned development.

203
00:23:47,106 --> 00:23:47,106
52 consisting of 10.8 acres on the south side of prosper trail and 815 approximate feet east

204
00:23:53,945 --> 00:23:53,945
of mike howard lane. Mr. Hoover, thank you mayor council. Happy new year. I don't think I've

205
00:23:59,617 --> 00:23:59,617
seen any of y'all since the new year began, so hopefully you enjoyed the holidays this

206
00:24:07,692 --> 00:24:07,692
prosper flex park as it's it's being called it was most of you probably will remember that the

207
00:24:15,266 --> 00:24:15,266
site was originally set up to be a nursery. And so the pd is pd 52. It's the same pd. It's

208
00:24:23,675 --> 00:24:23,675
just being amended as part of this process. Assuming this is approved, we'll wind up have

209
00:24:30,014 --> 00:24:30,014
four buildings that will be constructed. Excuse me. Constructed on it primarily

210
00:24:35,452 --> 00:24:35,452
office warehouse similar to the crossland buildings that are adjacent to it. A lot of of of

211
00:24:45,496 --> 00:24:45,496
standards are addressed as far as the proposal is concerned, which we'll talk about in a

212
00:24:50,734 --> 00:24:50,734
minute. This is what it looks like. And the location there. Prosper trail not quite to

213
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:56,640
howard lane. Remember, nancy lieberman had her little basketball place there for a

214
00:25:01,679 --> 00:25:01,679
while up in the front. The building that's there will be removed, which will probably be

215
00:25:07,550 --> 00:25:07,550
happy about. And the new buildings will go in its place. This just shows what all the

216
00:25:12,856 --> 00:25:12,856
surrounding zoning is. It's definitely compatible with the surrounding uses. Future land

217
00:25:19,329 --> 00:25:19,329
use plan is kind of right up the alley, so to speak, for for what's being proposed adjacent

218
00:25:25,234 --> 00:25:25,234
to the the railroad tracks. And again, crossland site is right next to it, which is very

219
00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:31,540
similar in uses. This is just a breakdown of what the surrounding uses are. You can

220
00:25:36,346 --> 00:25:36,346
see the only thing that's not business park either from from current land use or future land

221
00:25:42,418 --> 00:25:42,418
use is across prosper trail and there's residential over there. This is what the concept plan,

222
00:25:50,393 --> 00:25:50,393
what it will look like. You can see it's got the four buildings right now on the site. The

223
00:25:56,065 --> 00:25:56,065
detention pond is is closer to being in the center. And that was because it was part of the

224
00:26:01,938 --> 00:26:01,938
nursery use. The proposal has it moving to the back of the property. This is just the site

225
00:26:09,778 --> 00:26:09,778
summary table. I'm not going to read it to you. It covers all of the the requirements that

226
00:26:14,217 --> 00:26:14,217
are there. There are nothing special that's being asked for, for, for this type of

227
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:18,720
development. As far as our codes are concerned. Again, this is just the breakdown. I'm

228
00:26:25,928 --> 00:26:25,928
not going to read them to you. Happy to answer questions, but all the landscaping that's

229
00:26:30,366 --> 00:26:30,366
being proposed is is correct. The landscape buffers is are correct. Setbacks are all the

230
00:26:36,739 --> 00:26:36,739
way they're supposed to be parking and so forth. So the landscape plan gives you an

231
00:26:42,577 --> 00:26:42,577
idea of of what it will look like. Open space amenities there are putting more in here

232
00:26:49,351 --> 00:26:49,351
than what you might normally find in this type of development. It's got tables,

233
00:26:54,356 --> 00:26:54,356
benches, bike racks and so forth. Also, you might wonder how we came up with 11.3% for

234
00:27:02,296 --> 00:27:02,296
open space. The requirement is 7%. When it came through the planning commission, the

235
00:27:09,504 --> 00:27:09,504
applicant noted that it had more than 7%. It was 11.3. Planning commission says great,

236
00:27:16,010 --> 00:27:16,010
then we'll add that in. So that's why it's 11.3. But it's basically the same site plan

237
00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:22,250
and concept plan that was shown to the commission. Again, the open space I was just talking

238
00:27:27,788 --> 00:27:27,788
about there's a detention pond. You can see it's got amenities around it and in the back. So

239
00:27:32,093 --> 00:27:32,093
it'll actually be something that's usable instead of just a hole in the ground. The

240
00:27:36,831 --> 00:27:36,831
building elevations you'll see. We see the pictures in a minute. It has articulation on various

241
00:27:44,772 --> 00:27:44,772
sides. It has awnings, masonry materials, does have some tilt wall. As part of the

242
00:27:52,712 --> 00:27:52,712
construction. This is what's there and hopefully you won't miss it too much. This is

243
00:28:00,286 --> 00:28:00,286
what's going to go in its place and the development standards. It states that that the

244
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,530
architecture, the look, the appearance and all will be what these pictures look like. So these are not representative of they are what it will be. Couldn't see. It's I think well

245
00:28:17,904 --> 00:28:17,904
designed. This is what it looks like. You can see across the back. And it's it's basically

246
00:28:23,543 --> 00:28:23,543
for buildings 150,000ft■!s tota. There'll be subdivided inside depending upon who the users

247
00:28:30,850 --> 00:28:30,850
are. And nothing prevents a user from taking a whole building or even more than one

248
00:28:35,922 --> 00:28:35,922
building. But they're also designed, like most flex space, to to be able to subdivide it

249
00:28:41,594 --> 00:28:41,594
into smaller pieces. As far as as notices. December 5th, the mailouts went out for the

250
00:28:51,704 --> 00:28:51,704
meeting newspaper. In december 26th, the notice was there for the council meeting. We've

251
00:28:56,375 --> 00:28:56,375
gotten no responses back from from citizens. Staff recommends approval. Planning and zoning

252
00:29:02,915 --> 00:29:02,915
commission recommended approval 5 to 1. The the one that voted against commissioner fury to

253
00:29:11,556 --> 00:29:11,556
have a limit as to what the smallest subdivision of the buildings could be. The other

254
00:29:18,730 --> 00:29:18,730
commissioners didn't think that was a good idea. So the vote was was 5 to 1. But it was not

255
00:29:25,236 --> 00:29:25,236
against commissioner fury, was not against the use or or what was being proposed. He just

256
00:29:31,442 --> 00:29:31,442
thought that it might be a good idea to have that limit. And that's it. The applicants are

257
00:29:36,380 --> 00:29:36,380
here. Do you have any questions for for me, I'm happy to answer them. Otherwise, I believe

258
00:29:41,919 --> 00:29:41,919
council member hodges has a question for yes, I do so in the list of intended uses. I

259
00:29:49,260 --> 00:29:49,260
guess there's a couple that that have, for example, auto automobile repair, minor and

260
00:29:55,433 --> 00:29:55,433
major building materials and hardware sales, minor and major. What is the difference between

261
00:30:02,673 --> 00:30:02,673
minor and major? What what is that defined as? I mean, how do you it seems that it's not

262
00:30:09,514 --> 00:30:09,514
clear cut and maybe it is. It's just not written here. I don't know, but how do you decide

263
00:30:14,085 --> 00:30:14,085
that we actually have definitions in our ordinances as far as what constitutes

264
00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:21,359
minor and major? The, the building materials, for instance, is, is that one's a

265
00:30:26,364 --> 00:30:26,364
little easier because it, it generally is supply places, window companies, door

266
00:30:34,738 --> 00:30:34,738
companies, things that are pieces, trim things maybe that are pieces of of a development.

267
00:30:41,011 --> 00:30:41,011
they're not full blown construction company inside, but they have the pieces and

268
00:30:45,181 --> 00:30:45,181
the components. But they could be freestanding companies and they have their offices in the

269
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:50,920
front part, and they have a limited amount of of stock and service in the back office

270
00:30:58,027 --> 00:30:58,027
warehouse in the back part, there are several the over in the crossland buildings right

271
00:31:05,034 --> 00:31:05,034
now, several s similar types of things. The automobile same thing, major and minor are

272
00:31:12,542 --> 00:31:12,542
different classifications of what can go. For instance, I can think of. In fact, the town

273
00:31:17,614 --> 00:31:17,614
uses it. There's a tint shop that's in in, you know, window tint shop that that is in

274
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:23,319
crossland right now. And there are other similar types of things that go in there. The

275
00:31:28,758 --> 00:31:28,758
the major is. Can't off the top of my head. Think of what specifically goes into the

276
00:31:36,699 --> 00:31:36,699
major. You're not going to have outside wrecked vehicles with engines being rebuilt and those

277
00:31:42,738 --> 00:31:42,738
types of things that falls under a completely separate category from the minor and the

278
00:31:48,577 --> 00:31:48,577
major, so you won't see anything outside. There may be some things inside that are

279
00:31:53,916 --> 00:31:53,916
going on. For instance, could be a classic car place. That or even hobbies for for people

280
00:32:01,824 --> 00:32:01,824
that will redo cars in inside and then so they come in, they redo them completely, restore

281
00:32:08,864 --> 00:32:08,864
them, and then then send them back out again. Those types of activities may occur, but but

282
00:32:14,102 --> 00:32:14,102
nothing in the form of what I would call salvage, repair or body shops or those types of

283
00:32:21,243 --> 00:32:21,243
things. That's a that's a more intense, different category. Does that help? Honestly not

284
00:32:27,748 --> 00:32:27,748
really. Are you are we looking at like the size of what they're doing, or is it the

285
00:32:33,921 --> 00:32:33,921
volume that they do? Or. I mean, because I'm looking at and thinking engine repair, right?

286
00:32:39,394 --> 00:32:39,394
I mean engines, an engine, it's so that looks like it would fall under volume if they have

287
00:32:44,765 --> 00:32:44,765
a bunch of cars waiting to be serviced, then it would be disallowed. Whereas if they had

288
00:32:50,504 --> 00:32:50,504
cars that they could keep inside. That's okay. Well, it's disallowed based on the fact

289
00:32:56,010 --> 00:32:56,010
that they can't have the outside storage and can't have them sitting outside of the

290
00:33:00,514 --> 00:33:00,514
building. So depending on how much space they lease. Whoops. What did I hit? I'm sorry, how

291
00:33:08,021 --> 00:33:08,021
much space they lease. They may be able to to have more going on at the same time, but that's

292
00:33:15,829 --> 00:33:15,829
going to be more a limit as to what goes inside space wise, because they can't do anything

293
00:33:21,735 --> 00:33:21,735
on the outside, so they can't have like and I'm not picking on place. It's just the first

294
00:33:27,774 --> 00:33:27,774
thing that comes to mind, like a discount tire or a firestone that sometimes may have more

295
00:33:32,879 --> 00:33:32,879
vehicles because they've only got four bays, but there's 12 cars that they're waiting to

296
00:33:37,917 --> 00:33:37,917
put the tires on, and they're all parked outside. That won't be allowed as, as part of the,

297
00:33:43,022 --> 00:33:43,022
the zoning. And it's also not allowed. I think you'll hear from the, the applicants if

298
00:33:49,129 --> 00:33:49,129
they have an opportunity to speak. It's part of of what they put in their deed

299
00:33:53,766 --> 00:33:57,036
restrictions to prevent that from happening because they didn't want the parking lot, excuse me, full of cars being worked on. So if somebody rented half of one of those the

300
00:34:05,645 --> 00:34:05,645
whole development and turned it all into a repair shop and it was all indoors, would that

301
00:34:13,986 --> 00:34:13,986
qualify still as minor? It would, it would. Okay. Yes. Now I don't again, not speaking for

302
00:34:21,594 --> 00:34:21,594
the applicants is what they would or wouldn't do. I do not believe that that's the intent

303
00:34:26,532 --> 00:34:26,532
of who they would would lease to. The category is something that would would fit based on

304
00:34:33,339 --> 00:34:33,339
what we we have in there now. Yes. But you do have like like you said, you do have the

305
00:34:39,812 --> 00:34:39,812
parameters are in code. So just looking at this, it just seems like if there was somebody who

306
00:34:46,819 --> 00:34:46,819
came in and wanted to open a print shop, let's say, and it says minor print shop only, and

307
00:34:53,558 --> 00:34:53,558
you said no, your print shop that you want to open is a major print shop that's in

308
00:34:58,230 --> 00:34:58,230
writing somewhere. So someone wouldn't say, well, you're just you just don't want me to be in

309
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:02,400
town. And so you're calling me a major when it's all I'm doing is printing it? There is. We

310
00:35:07,906 --> 00:35:07,906
have the the definitions in our, our codes and ordinance about what constitutes a difference

311
00:35:13,344 --> 00:35:13,344
in the minor and the major to a minor would be something like a ups store where you go in and,

312
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:22,720
and you drop off and maybe you're getting, you know, 300 pieces of something. A major

313
00:35:28,592 --> 00:35:28,592
would be like a magazine or a newspaper print shop, okay. Where you go in. And so there's

314
00:35:34,965 --> 00:35:34,965
it's the definition is obviously a little more sophisticated than that, but

315
00:35:39,203 --> 00:35:39,203
you've probably seen the ups where they and it's not just ups, but it's, it's several

316
00:35:44,675 --> 00:35:44,675
fedex and the others. They all pretty much have that now where you can go in and it's very

317
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:49,280
limited. It's almost like a service, more so than than an actual industry, so to speak.

318
00:35:55,552 --> 00:35:55,552
and that's the basic difference. Okay. And then one last thing that struck me as kind of odd

319
00:36:02,192 --> 00:36:02,192
in the list of restrictions or eliminated from you have house of worship in there as a, as a,

320
00:36:10,568 --> 00:36:10,568
as an allowed place. And I don't know what y'all think. I it just seems that a business

321
00:36:17,941 --> 00:36:17,941
park should be a business park and not necessarily a church. So. I'm not I'm not against it

322
00:36:27,183 --> 00:36:27,183
necessarily, but it just, it just seems out of place. And I don't know if if that's

323
00:36:31,855 --> 00:36:35,792
something that we have in other places as well. Or, and maybe the applicant has somebody in mind already that they, they want to rent to us, but if not, I'd like to get that stricken

324
00:36:42,766 --> 00:36:42,766
from the list of uses if, depending on how everybody else feels like. Again, it's nothing.

325
00:36:48,705 --> 00:36:48,705
terry had something to say. Yeah. The town attorney would like to weigh in. Just said

326
00:36:54,410 --> 00:36:54,410
that churches are permitted in any zoning district in the town. Okay, so that has to be in

327
00:36:59,682 --> 00:36:59,682
there. But we could be challenged if it's not in there. Let me say. Okay. Well, it's

328
00:37:04,554 --> 00:37:04,554
again, it's not that important. It just seemed out of place. So there's no question I agree

329
00:37:09,558 --> 00:37:09,558
completely. And we have that discussion period periodically when we're looking because, you

330
00:37:15,598 --> 00:37:15,598
know, houses of worship churches have limiting factors on other places when, when they

331
00:37:22,170 --> 00:37:22,170
come in. And kind of the same thing, which I think would be out of place, but they come in,

332
00:37:27,743 --> 00:37:30,880
you're not going to get restaurants because restaurants can't get alcohol licenses if they're within a certain distance of, of the church. And so both of those would probably

333
00:37:35,818 --> 00:37:35,818
be out of place in a development like this. But the restaurants don't have the

334
00:37:41,189 --> 00:37:41,189
privilege that the churches do. So that's why they're there. That's all I had. Thanks, mr.

335
00:37:46,929 --> 00:37:46,929
welch. Mayor, I pulled up a few of the definitions from the zoning code just on my phone. A

336
00:37:53,434 --> 00:37:53,434
major automobile repair, I believe, was one of them. Yes, sir. Major means the facility,

337
00:37:58,673 --> 00:37:58,673
which offers general repair or maintenance of vehicles, including paint and or body

338
00:38:02,744 --> 00:38:02,744
repair services, outdoor storage and vehicles. Overnight shall provide screening in

339
00:38:07,448 --> 00:38:11,386
accordance with the open storage regulations in the zoning ordinance. Any facility offering auto services that requires overnight storage of the vehicle shall be considered

340
00:38:15,423 --> 00:38:15,423
major. Automotive repair. Minor automotive repair means a facility which offers general

341
00:38:20,762 --> 00:38:20,762
repair and maintenance of vehicles. Minor automobile repair uses shall not include a

342
00:38:25,767 --> 00:38:25,767
facility which offers paint and or body repair services or the outdoor storage of vehicles

343
00:38:32,072 --> 00:38:32,072
overnight. So I have a couple questions. Yes, sir. It's similar to what councilman

344
00:38:42,349 --> 00:38:42,349
hodges was just bringing up in regards to the accepted uses. And I'm just confirming to just

345
00:38:47,420 --> 00:38:47,420
for public viewing or public listening or watching that, you know, in the development

346
00:38:51,658 --> 00:38:51,658
agreement, we do have additional restrictions that are in line with our, if you

347
00:38:57,097 --> 00:39:01,068
want to call it, family friendly atmosphere. So eliminating some additional uses that aren't called out in the exhibit. Yes. In regards to worship, house of worship or

348
00:39:07,908 --> 00:39:07,908
restaurant, with the restaurant being only one, one of the only ones with the conditional

349
00:39:12,346 --> 00:39:12,346
approval. I just want confirmation. And I think this is what commissioner foray was

350
00:39:17,217 --> 00:39:17,217
probably worried about in regards to the smallest amount of subdivision is that some of

351
00:39:22,122 --> 00:39:22,122
these items, as they're developed out or built out, would food parking wise, some

352
00:39:31,163 --> 00:39:31,163
of these additional, maybe potentially larger usage uses? I just want to make sure it's

353
00:39:36,336 --> 00:39:36,336
not like they can just rent out any piece of this without coming back to y'all's

354
00:39:41,808 --> 00:39:41,808
department to get approval for what they plan to build out in those additional pieces, like,

355
00:39:47,213 --> 00:39:47,213
let's say, if it's all bunch of small places and they want to add a church as an example or

356
00:39:52,752 --> 00:39:52,752
whatever, even if it's a small one, the parking requirements would be still enforced as part

357
00:39:58,157 --> 00:39:58,157
of the overall standards. Is that right? Yes, sir. That's absolutely correct. Each of the

358
00:40:02,962 --> 00:40:02,962
individual uses have to. The building shell itself gets what's called a certificate of

359
00:40:09,101 --> 00:40:09,101
substantial completion. The individual uses in each of the, the the separate however the

360
00:40:15,607 --> 00:40:15,607
amount of space is actually get a certificate of occupancy okay. For that certificate of

361
00:40:21,346 --> 00:40:21,346
occupancy to be issued they have to show that they have the parking. So it is possible that

362
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:27,119
depending on how you lease at the beginning is you're working your way through the process,

363
00:40:31,423 --> 00:40:31,423
you get to the end, and there's more of a limiting factor because of the amount of

364
00:40:36,161 --> 00:40:36,161
parking spaces that that are required. So you get to the end. You need 12 spaces for whatever

365
00:40:43,335 --> 00:40:43,335
your size and your use is. There's only six. You can't do it. So so there is there's

366
00:40:49,841 --> 00:40:49,841
multiple controls as as you say that that are in there as far as it's it's developed out okay.

367
00:40:55,947 --> 00:40:55,947
thank you. Yes, sir. Any other questions for staff. All right then at this time we will open

368
00:41:02,754 --> 00:41:02,754
the public hearing. Is there anyone that would like to speak on this particular item? Seeing

369
00:41:10,395 --> 00:41:10,395
none. I'll close the public hearing. Is it any council member wish to ask a question

370
00:41:16,901 --> 00:41:16,901
of the applicant? No. Okay. All right. Is there a motion on this particular item? Well, mr.

371
00:41:22,973 --> 00:41:22,973
hoover tries to figure out how to clear the screen. Yes. What did I do? There we go. Well,

372
00:41:29,513 --> 00:41:29,513
that made it worse. I have no idea what I did. Sorry. Say that again, marcus. So I'll

373
00:41:34,952 --> 00:41:34,952
make a motion to approve the request. Amended development standards uses a conceptual

374
00:41:39,423 --> 00:41:39,423
layout plan. Development 52, consisting of 10.8 acres on the south side of prosper trail and

375
00:41:46,797 --> 00:41:46,797
815ft east of my cowardly. We got a motion by marcus ray, second by amy bartley. All in

376
00:41:52,435 --> 00:41:52,435
favor? Motion passes six zero. Thank you very much. Thank you. Sir. The next agenda item is

377
00:41:58,942 --> 00:42:02,546
number 21. Consider and act upon authorizing the town manager to execute an interlocal agreement between collin county and the town of prosper for animal shelter

378
00:42:06,149 --> 00:42:06,149
services for an initial term of five years, with annual renewal terms of one year and an

379
00:42:10,587 --> 00:42:10,587
initial fee of 116,702 for fy 2025, 2026. Miss robin battle thank you, mayor and council.

380
00:42:19,863 --> 00:42:19,863
so this evening we're asking the council to consider a new ila with collin county for

381
00:42:25,268 --> 00:42:25,268
animal shelter services. The first original ila that we executed with collin county for

382
00:42:31,340 --> 00:42:31,340
these services was back in 2006. Since that time, we have approved annual renewals. But

383
00:42:38,514 --> 00:42:38,514
following discussions last year with all of the participating entities, collin county has

384
00:42:43,552 --> 00:42:43,552
proposed a brand new ila with some very different terms. Council may remember we

385
00:42:48,290 --> 00:42:48,290
discussed this in work session in november. The new cost structure, the new entities,

386
00:42:53,729 --> 00:42:53,729
that kind of thing. So we're we have that ila for you to to consider tonight just as a

387
00:43:00,903 --> 00:43:00,903
review. The services that collin county animal services provides to the town through

388
00:43:05,173 --> 00:43:05,173
the ila include receiving stray animals, caring for impounded animals. They do rabies testing

389
00:43:11,513 --> 00:43:11,513
and vaccination, microchipping. They also do foster services as well as adoption and

390
00:43:19,221 --> 00:43:19,221
reunification. Reunification with families when possible. The current ila with collin

391
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:25,360
county expires in 2028, so if we were to continue with the ila that we're currently under,

392
00:43:31,532 --> 00:43:31,532
that would expire in 2028. This new ila that we're proposing tonight would replace that old

393
00:43:38,706 --> 00:43:38,706
ila, start us with a new contract with collin county, with the new terms of service,

394
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:45,280
the revised ila has the same services included. However, the initial term is five years. So

395
00:43:53,487 --> 00:43:53,487
upon execution of this idea that would start a new five year term, after that there

396
00:43:58,226 --> 00:43:58,226
would be one year renewals. As I mentioned, there is a very different cost structure that's

397
00:44:04,232 --> 00:44:04,232
being proposed with this ila. As you may remember, some of the costs have been have wildly

398
00:44:12,106 --> 00:44:12,106
fluctuated from year to year for animal shelter and for animal control services. So

399
00:44:16,444 --> 00:44:16,444
this new cost structure is based on a base operations fee that includes a 3.5% cost

400
00:44:23,317 --> 00:44:23,317
escalation each year. And what that is intended to do is to kind of smooth out those cost

401
00:44:29,390 --> 00:44:33,360
fluctuations and provide a little more predictability to all of the participating entities in the contract. That's the first component of the cost. The second component

402
00:44:38,799 --> 00:44:38,799
is a maintenance and capital contribution. And collin county is estimating those per fiscal

403
00:44:45,773 --> 00:44:45,773
year. So there's a there's a predictable escalation each year for the maintenance and

404
00:44:51,044 --> 00:44:51,044
capital costs. So those two components are split among all of the participating entities.

405
00:44:59,019 --> 00:44:59,019
and it's based on population. So prosperous, prosperous percentage of population for

406
00:45:04,024 --> 00:45:04,024
all of the entities is right about 5.8%. So of that really large $1.8 million number,

407
00:45:12,265 --> 00:45:12,265
we're only about 5.8% of that. So our portion of those costs for fy 2526 would be $116,702.

408
00:45:24,844 --> 00:45:24,844
collin county is encouraging all of the entities to sign this new ila, and they have

409
00:45:30,683 --> 00:45:30,683
indicated that if we choose not to adopt the new ila, then they will not renew our existing ila

410
00:45:36,389 --> 00:45:36,389
when it expires in 2028. So this is really our our most viable option for animal

411
00:45:42,928 --> 00:45:42,928
shelter services. So with that, town staff is recommending approval and I'll be happy to

412
00:45:48,366 --> 00:45:48,366
answer any questions. Questions for miss battle. Not our favorite, but I don't see a lot

413
00:45:57,743 --> 00:45:57,743
of options. So is there anyone like to make a motion on this particular item? I find it here

414
00:46:08,453 --> 00:46:08,453
21. I move to authorize the town manager to execute the interlocal agreement between

415
00:46:16,027 --> 00:46:16,027
collin county and the town of prosper for animal shelter services for an initial term of

416
00:46:21,032 --> 00:46:21,032
five years, with annual renewal terms of one year, an initial fee of 116,702 per fiscal year

417
00:46:31,543 --> 00:46:31,543
2025 2026. Thank you. Do I have a second? Council member, hodges to second. It. All in

418
00:46:39,383 --> 00:46:39,383
favor? Motion passes six zero. Thank you very much. Next item is agenda item number 22. To

419
00:46:44,823 --> 00:46:44,823
consider an act upon authorizing the town manager to execute amendment number 19 to

420
00:46:48,993 --> 00:46:48,993
the interlocal agreement between collin county and the town of prosper for animal

421
00:46:53,497 --> 00:46:53,497
control services in the amount of 171,374. Yes, sir. This is the second component to animal

422
00:47:01,305 --> 00:47:01,305
services with with collin county animal services. And this is for animal control

423
00:47:06,043 --> 00:47:06,043
services. So we do have a separate eyalet with collin county for animal control. The

424
00:47:11,782 --> 00:47:11,782
request tonight is to do an annual renewal of our existing ila. So we are not proposing a

425
00:47:17,621 --> 00:47:17,621
new ila for collin county animal control services at this time. This is just the annual

426
00:47:23,393 --> 00:47:23,393
renewal that you've seen for about 19 years. I think this is our 19th amendment to the

427
00:47:29,499 --> 00:47:29,499
existing ila. So same services will continue. Animal control helps us reduce the stray

428
00:47:37,708 --> 00:47:37,708
animal population, the responsible for the restraint of dangerous animals,

429
00:47:43,112 --> 00:47:43,112
prevention of inhumane treatment of animals and some other services. They do have

430
00:47:47,884 --> 00:47:47,884
some 24 over seven on call services for emergencies, deal with dead animal carcasses,

431
00:47:53,390 --> 00:47:53,390
that kind of thing. So we are just requesting approval of the renewal of the annual ila with

432
00:48:01,465 --> 00:48:01,465
collin county for these services. The town's portion of this for fy 2526 is $171,374.

433
00:48:12,308 --> 00:48:12,308
staff is recommending approval. However, you may remember from the work session back in

434
00:48:18,013 --> 00:48:18,013
november, town council did direct staff to start looking for other options, other

435
00:48:23,419 --> 00:48:23,419
service models that that may be less expensive. So while we do recommend approval of this

436
00:48:29,525 --> 00:48:29,525
renewal for this year, we will begin looking for other, more cost effective options. Okay,

437
00:48:37,132 --> 00:48:37,132
so before I ask for other council members input, I had the opportunity to test this

438
00:48:44,006 --> 00:48:44,006
particular thing. I actually put it used our my prosper app on. Can't remember who was

439
00:48:50,045 --> 00:48:50,045
thursday or friday, and robin intervened. And so if you wouldn't mind, just share that

440
00:48:56,551 --> 00:48:56,551
in our time frame for get getting the dead hog carcass removed. Sure. Yes, we did

441
00:49:03,024 --> 00:49:03,024
receive that through the mobile app, so thank you for using that. That really is the most

442
00:49:07,996 --> 00:49:07,996
effective and efficient way for us to receive those those kinds of requests, those that type of

443
00:49:13,435 --> 00:49:13,435
service request gets routed to our code enforcement staff. I think we became aware of it on

444
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:18,840
thursday. I think that's right. And by saturday morning it had been picked up. So we forwarded

445
00:49:24,112 --> 00:49:24,112
that request over to animal services. They came right out and took care of it. So that's

446
00:49:28,550 --> 00:49:28,550
that's a a success story. The only thing I would point out is it did take until saturday to

447
00:49:35,223 --> 00:49:35,223
get it picked up. So a lot of people drove by it along the way. But it did get picked up.

448
00:49:40,428 --> 00:49:40,428
so any other questions for robin or commentary? Do I have a motion on this item? I'll

449
00:49:49,570 --> 00:49:49,570
make a motion. Yeah, okay. I move to authorize the town manager to execute amendment

450
00:49:53,741 --> 00:49:53,741
number 19 to the interlocal agreement between collin county and the town of prosper for

451
00:49:59,546 --> 00:49:59,546
animal control services in the amount of 1700, I'm sorry, $171,374. All right. Motion by

452
00:50:07,521 --> 00:50:07,521
jeff hodges. Is there a second, second, second by marcus ray? All in favor? Motion passes

453
00:50:13,260 --> 00:50:13,260
unanimously with a delayed vote from mayor pro tem there. Thank you. Robin. Thank you. Agenda

454
00:50:20,367 --> 00:50:20,367
item number 23 is to consider an act upon a park improvement fee agreement between the town

455
00:50:24,771 --> 00:50:24,771
of prosper and creekside prosper, llc for the creekside development. Mr. Dan baker,

456
00:50:31,611 --> 00:50:31,611
thank you, mayor and council. This one should look a little familiar. We had presented this

457
00:50:37,417 --> 00:50:37,417
one a couple months ago before the holidays. You all have given us some direction to take

458
00:50:42,722 --> 00:50:42,722
back to the developer, and so we're coming back to you tonight with some some slightly

459
00:50:47,995 --> 00:50:47,995
new information. I do have the owner's representative, clint richardson, here. He'd be very

460
00:50:56,069 --> 00:50:56,069
interested in answering any questions you might have or any comments you may have. So doing

461
00:51:02,975 --> 00:51:02,975
the math, as we usually do for parking permit fees, the developer would owe us $331,000,

462
00:51:10,116 --> 00:51:10,116
530,000 $331,500 based on his 221 lots, and then would also owe us 6.31 acres based on the

463
00:51:19,825 --> 00:51:19,825
one acre per 35 units he is actually conveying over a little over seven acres, so a

464
00:51:26,965 --> 00:51:26,965
little more than what he's required to do. Creekside development is sitting, you can

465
00:51:33,238 --> 00:51:33,238
see in the red circle, just a little west of the tollway in northern northern part of town.

466
00:51:40,679 --> 00:51:40,679
also, what the developer would propose to do is to widen existing sidewalk, per the

467
00:51:46,785 --> 00:51:46,785
trails master plan for a credit back, and that credit would is estimated to be right around

468
00:51:54,693 --> 00:51:54,693
$45,000. So going through the math, the park, the park that would be developed would have a

469
00:52:03,334 --> 00:52:03,334
full trail around the perimeter. So you have a loop trail to walk fully irrigated sod.

470
00:52:09,808 --> 00:52:09,808
that's something different than what we had last time. Signage and trees. We would also be

471
00:52:15,580 --> 00:52:15,580
able to line the field, put out goals, do things. So if we needed some additional practice

472
00:52:20,618 --> 00:52:20,618
space or just play area, we could do that right off the right off the bat. So it would

473
00:52:28,559 --> 00:52:28,559
be a full park with still some opportunities to add amenities to it. The remaining park

474
00:52:36,467 --> 00:52:36,467
improvement fees after the credit is observed would be 286,500. Last time we came to

475
00:52:45,776 --> 00:52:45,776
you, mr. Shattuck had offered to add an additional $100,000 to try to close the gap of what

476
00:52:53,817 --> 00:52:53,817
the town would have to pay. Since that time, he has upped that to $250,000, contingent on

477
00:53:02,459 --> 00:53:02,459
the park being named after his father or his family. So that's something I know. There was

478
00:53:08,532 --> 00:53:08,532
some some conversation regarding that, but with that, with the 250 and the 286, the

479
00:53:15,038 --> 00:53:15,038
town would still have to pay or come up with $173,500 to build that park. Now, the developer

480
00:53:25,848 --> 00:53:25,848
would manage the complete construction. So it's it's fairly turnkey park naming. I

481
00:53:32,489 --> 00:53:32,489
know this is something we've talked about actually in a couple meetings now, I did pull

482
00:53:36,592 --> 00:53:36,592
from the ordinance requirements as far as what is required. As far as someone asking to have

483
00:53:43,866 --> 00:53:43,866
something named after whatever they desire, as long as it fits in the park ordinance. The

484
00:53:51,074 --> 00:53:51,074
ordinance states that the total contributions would have to be 50% of the acquisition costs.

485
00:53:57,113 --> 00:53:57,113
and in talking with terry, we we went back and forth and determined what is the

486
00:54:01,483 --> 00:54:01,483
acquisition cost? So the acquisition cost is essentially what's going to be put into the

487
00:54:06,288 --> 00:54:06,288
land to turn it into a park. It does not it does not count the land dedication. That's that's

488
00:54:12,628 --> 00:54:12,628
required. It also does not. Inclusive of the park improvement fees that are

489
00:54:19,468 --> 00:54:19,468
required based on the number of units that are, that are that the math is calculating to, to

490
00:54:25,441 --> 00:54:25,441
get us that number. So really we're looking at the $710,000 that would be considered the

491
00:54:31,046 --> 00:54:31,046
acquisition fee in this case. So 50% of that would be $355,000. So developers about

492
00:54:40,388 --> 00:54:40,388
is $105,000 short of meeting that requirement. This was taken to the parks and

493
00:54:46,495 --> 00:54:46,495
recreation board last week. The the board was fine with the development agreement, the park

494
00:54:53,268 --> 00:54:53,268
facility agreement, but they did not feel good about essentially not following the

495
00:54:59,073 --> 00:54:59,073
ordinance. They said if the developer were able to meet what was required in the

496
00:55:03,711 --> 00:55:03,711
ordinance, they did not have a problem with the name, but they did not want to do it at a

497
00:55:08,550 --> 00:55:08,550
discounted rate. So with that, I'm happy to answer any questions. And so would clint.

498
00:55:12,687 --> 00:55:12,687
thank you. All right. Thank you very much, mr. Baker. Amy. Yes, I have a few questions. Okay.

499
00:55:21,028 --> 00:55:21,028
so my first question is about this site has there and I think I know the answer to this, but

500
00:55:27,302 --> 00:55:27,302
has parks ever taken up what the eventual result of this seven acre park would look like?

501
00:55:32,973 --> 00:55:32,973
in other words, what amenities it would have eventually? Yeah. Yes, ma'am. So eventually,

502
00:55:41,249 --> 00:55:41,249
based on the type of park it is, you would see a a playground and potentially backstop, maybe

503
00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:49,990
a little picnic area. Excuse me. Picnic table, maybe some benches, water fountain, things

504
00:55:56,096 --> 00:55:56,096
like that drinking fountain. But really that's about what we would come in later and propose

505
00:56:02,536 --> 00:56:02,536
to do. Okay. So and I'm just asking that just because you're putting in irrigation and sod

506
00:56:08,275 --> 00:56:08,275
and I'm wondering, you know, what kind of level of, you know, destruction has to go when you,

507
00:56:14,148 --> 00:56:14,148
when you come back and retrofit all those items? Yes, ma'am. And we would be very careful as

508
00:56:18,885 --> 00:56:18,885
far as the layout we would have. We already have an idea of where we would want to place

509
00:56:23,123 --> 00:56:26,994
those items. Really, the playground is probably the biggest item, and I would tell you that's probably the easiest thing as far as with the irrigation. Typically you can

510
00:56:30,897 --> 00:56:30,897
handle that by capping a couple heads and then even changing the nozzle. So if you've got a

511
00:56:38,405 --> 00:56:38,405
just a full rectangular area, we were going to take a notch out of it to drop a playground

512
00:56:43,609 --> 00:56:43,609
in. You might want to cap a couple heads on the backside. And then on this on the front

513
00:56:48,114 --> 00:56:48,114
side, we would turn those into full heads. So really minimal minimal cost to do anything on

514
00:56:54,253 --> 00:56:54,253
it. Okay, so here's my struggle with this. I'll just kind of lay out my argument. I I'm okay

515
00:57:02,295 --> 00:57:02,295
with giving the credit for the trail because we've done that in the past. And I think it's

516
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:07,600
practice that we've done. It improves the trail. It meets our our plan. I'm okay with

517
00:57:11,937 --> 00:57:11,937
that. My issue here is even with the contribution of $250,000, which is tied to the

518
00:57:19,545 --> 00:57:23,515
naming, which I do not agree with, I'm really agree with with the parks board. It doesn't fit our ordinance. We're out of pocket $173,500 for a park that presumably is

519
00:57:32,524 --> 00:57:32,524
not a park our rest of our citizens would drive to to use. It's it's really meant to be

520
00:57:38,198 --> 00:57:38,198
sort of a neighborhood park, you know, go play soccer, go play ball, that kind of thing.

521
00:57:42,868 --> 00:57:42,868
and in the situation that we're in today, with the bond not passing, my my feeling is we

522
00:57:51,109 --> 00:57:51,109
don't spend our funds like that. Instead we take in the park dedication fees and use it for

523
00:57:57,315 --> 00:57:57,315
what would be considered greater good for all of our residents. So whatever it is

524
00:58:02,453 --> 00:58:02,453
that our residents are asking for more amenities in larger parks, more practice space, in

525
00:58:08,425 --> 00:58:08,425
larger spaces where you've got parking and you've got other other amenities there, or other

526
00:58:13,164 --> 00:58:13,164
other requirements there for more of our citizens to use it. So I just struggle with us

527
00:58:19,937 --> 00:58:19,937
coming out of pocket, naming a park after a developer, basically, or a builder's name

528
00:58:26,344 --> 00:58:26,344
without it, without it meeting the requirement for the ordinance. And on top of we're

529
00:58:32,216 --> 00:58:32,216
going to have to tear some of it up a little bit later when we do finally put it in the

530
00:58:36,754 --> 00:58:36,754
playground. So those are sort of my struggles with it. I'd love to hear my colleagues. I

531
00:58:41,558 --> 00:58:41,558
don't know where everybody else is on it. I'm, you know, I just that's just sort of where I am.

532
00:58:46,564 --> 00:58:46,564
thank you. Anybody else? I have to I have to say I, you know, when I, when I've been thinking

533
00:58:57,140 --> 00:58:57,140
about this, this item I was going to, I was going to say really what council member

534
00:59:06,282 --> 00:59:06,282
barley just said. And she really said it very eloquently, because that's literally what I

535
00:59:13,090 --> 00:59:13,090
was going to say. I, I think that that we, we have to think differently on, on how we spend

536
00:59:20,630 --> 00:59:20,630
our park funds today because we don't have the money because the bond didn't pass. And so we

537
00:59:27,036 --> 00:59:27,036
really have toe to think differently on on our park dedication fees. And so I

538
00:59:32,976 --> 00:59:32,976
really do agree with what she's saying there. Okay. Yes, sir. Yeah. Microphones not okay. So

539
00:59:45,888 --> 00:59:45,888
absolutely in agreement with the widening of the trail and the reimbursement for that, I

540
00:59:50,559 --> 00:59:50,559
really struggle with the naming of the park and not because of who it is. They've got a great

541
00:59:56,566 --> 00:59:56,566
name throughout the metroplex, you know, and and it has a great name in prosper. So we've

542
01:00:03,539 --> 01:00:03,539
got parks and prosper that were previously named after, you know, people who donated it,

543
01:00:10,312 --> 01:00:10,312
that the name has changed. And so I want to make sure we don't set a bad precedent here. And I

544
01:00:16,918 --> 01:00:16,918
do have concern with the naming of a park that is primarily used for the neighborhood

545
01:00:21,256 --> 01:00:21,256
that's going to just use it. I would much rather we put the funds towards the wider good

546
01:00:27,662 --> 01:00:27,662
for the park system in general, and so don't have a concern with reimbursement for the like

547
01:00:34,335 --> 01:00:34,335
I said, the the trail because I think that's an appropriate one. I just I feel like this is the

548
01:00:40,175 --> 01:00:40,175
third time with negotiating park fees for specific parts in that specific region for that

549
01:00:48,149 --> 01:00:48,149
one park versus looking at the whole. And I would really maybe let's take it back to the parks

550
01:00:53,587 --> 01:00:53,587
to say, you know, when we have cases like this that are brought before us in the future,

551
01:00:58,125 --> 01:00:58,125
let's make sure we're looking at the wider because, you know, as mentioned by councilman

552
01:01:02,897 --> 01:01:06,837
reeves and bartley, you know, without having the bond access to build parks, we've got to plan differently and more creatively. And I do appreciate this builder because I think

553
01:01:13,407 --> 01:01:13,407
that they want to be a good partner, and we just need to find a way to leverage that

554
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:19,480
contribution for the wider community. And so if we can take that component back and

555
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:29,957
maybe think about it differently, I'd like for that to happen. But I have no concern with just the small portion about the trail widening reimbursement. Okay.

556
01:01:34,230 --> 01:01:34,230
thank you. With that being said, mayor pro tem bartley, do you have a motion? I don't know,

557
01:01:44,338 --> 01:01:44,338
terry can maybe help me with it, but I would make a motion to approve the credit for the

558
01:01:50,110 --> 01:01:50,110
connector trail using the using the park improvement fees. So we would accept the park

559
01:01:59,419 --> 01:02:02,622
dedication fee and give a credit for the for the construction costs associated with the trail. And what I would suggest is we could make a motion to approve that, and

560
01:02:07,527 --> 01:02:07,527
we put the agreement back on and consent agenda so that everybody has agreed to that,

561
01:02:12,732 --> 01:02:12,732
and the developer has agreed to that as well. Okay. Say that one more time, please, because

562
01:02:19,639 --> 01:02:19,639
he'll be paying a park dedication fee with a credit for the 45,000, the 45,000, the

563
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:26,880
trail that we put that in. And that'll be an agreement we're going to need to amend was was

564
01:02:31,817 --> 01:02:31,817
in the packet right now and change that. Well in in in thank you because I'm still not

565
01:02:36,455 --> 01:02:36,455
sure as mr. Shaddock going to be okay. Part of his deal is the the naming. So I don't know

566
01:02:45,197 --> 01:02:45,197
where he's going to. Well I'm saying we don't we don't make the fees. We're only doing

567
01:02:50,202 --> 01:02:50,202
correct. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah. We're we're just going to take the fees as the ordinance says,

568
01:02:55,975 --> 01:02:55,975
reimburse the connector. The connector trail is what we're. So I mean, that's that's all

569
01:03:01,780 --> 01:03:05,284
within the ordinance. So there's no nothing outside of that. It just need we just need the agreement. Redrawn agreement. And they'd have to sign the agreement. Okay. We

570
01:03:09,121 --> 01:03:09,121
could we could put that on a consent agenda. Barring their disagreement with that. Okay,

571
01:03:17,262 --> 01:03:17,262
okay. No, I think we can we can approve an agreement with those requirements. And how would you

572
01:03:23,568 --> 01:03:23,568
bring that back for approval on a consent agenda once, once everybody has signed off on

573
01:03:27,973 --> 01:03:27,973
that. Yeah. Are you okay with that? Yes, I'm okay with that. So I make a motion to accept

574
01:03:35,981 --> 01:03:35,981
the park improvement fees due for creekside development and to credit them for the

575
01:03:41,619 --> 01:03:41,619
connector trail. Increased cost. Is that the right. Is that how you say it? One more time. Make

576
01:03:51,129 --> 01:03:51,129
a motion to receive the park improvement fees due for creekside development and to

577
01:03:56,734 --> 01:03:56,734
credit them for the connector trail? Increased cost. We would charge the park dedication fee

578
01:04:04,342 --> 01:04:04,342
and a credit for the connector trail only. Correct? Yes. Thanks. Okay. Do you want to do

579
01:04:11,548 --> 01:04:11,548
we need to clarify that motion more? As the attorney has stated, whatever terry says.

580
01:04:17,687 --> 01:04:17,687
okay. Thank you. I've used that line with my wife and it hasn't worked very well, I would say.

581
01:04:24,862 --> 01:04:24,862
yeah, if you make that motion, we'll second that and we have direction on what to do. Okay.

582
01:04:31,268 --> 01:04:31,268
awesome motion second. All in favor. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you very

583
01:04:37,074 --> 01:04:37,074
much. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Baker. Amy. Marcus. Okay. Next agenda item is agenda item

584
01:04:48,885 --> 01:04:48,885
number 24. Consider an act upon authorizing the town manager to execute a construction

585
01:04:53,156 --> 01:04:53,156
agreement with home run construction, llc for parvin park in the amount of

586
01:04:58,361 --> 01:04:58,361
$532,145.32, mr. Baker. Yes. Okay. Thank you again, council. Let's see here. That's

587
01:05:07,303 --> 01:05:07,303
interesting. Okay. Sorry about the transitions there okay. So some good news on this one.

588
01:05:16,813 --> 01:05:20,349
parvin park, which we've also called the downtown pond which is also called the downtown park. We received our bids. We opened bids in november. The scope for the park includes an

589
01:05:29,726 --> 01:05:29,726
eight foot wide concrete loop trail that goes around the park. It's a small park, small

590
01:05:35,031 --> 01:05:35,031
playground, small pavilion, three parking spaces along the west side of the park,

591
01:05:41,170 --> 01:05:41,170
including some accessible spots, some sod and tree plantings. We did receive 12 bids, so that

592
01:05:49,945 --> 01:05:49,945
was really nice. It was a lot of interested people in this project, the lowest ranging

593
01:05:55,884 --> 01:05:55,884
from $532,145.32, which is the one we're asking you to approve tonight, all the way up to one,

594
01:06:03,625 --> 01:06:03,625
a little over $1.1 million. So pretty good spread. We've got just around $1 million

595
01:06:11,432 --> 01:06:11,432
available to build this park. So so that's that's going to be helpful. Construction schedule

596
01:06:17,172 --> 01:06:17,172
is for 145 days. We anticipate finishing this summer. Also failed to mention I've got our

597
01:06:23,745 --> 01:06:23,745
consultant. Our design consultant tim may with perkins is here tonight too. So if

598
01:06:28,349 --> 01:06:28,349
you've got any questions for him, he certainly help answer those. And here is a copy.

599
01:06:35,322 --> 01:06:35,322
sorry, this isn't the best. This isn't the color copy, but the color one had a lot of

600
01:06:40,395 --> 01:06:43,764
extra stuff that wasn't pertinent. But you can basically see the site plan for the park with the trail going around it, with the pond in the middle and the playground,

601
01:06:48,903 --> 01:06:48,903
parking and pavilion in that southwest corner. With that, I'd be happy to answer any

602
01:06:54,342 --> 01:06:54,342
questions. Questions. So one one minor question do we have? I know we have. I've mentioned

603
01:07:05,152 --> 01:07:05,152
this before, but are we planning on putting any no parking signs on parvin and

604
01:07:10,157 --> 01:07:10,157
broadway? I'm sorry. Yes. So yes, the part of it. So parvin and church. Yes. Broadway is

605
01:07:17,397 --> 01:07:17,397
actually a texdot roadway. We can go down that that road, but it's going to take. It'll take

606
01:07:24,204 --> 01:07:24,204
a few months. We can certainly look at it. It's just not something that we, the town

607
01:07:30,711 --> 01:07:30,711
maintains or does traffic signage for. So I guess this would be a question for chief

608
01:07:36,383 --> 01:07:36,383
if if somebody's parking along broadway, would y'all have the authority to do anything if

609
01:07:45,125 --> 01:07:45,125
there there's no signs, but there there's. Yeah, but yeah, there's a couple answers to

610
01:07:59,105 --> 01:07:59,105
that. There's currently there's no signage out there on broadway, but if the

611
01:08:04,211 --> 01:08:04,211
obstructing the roadway in such a way that they've left the vehicle, that is impossible for

612
01:08:08,447 --> 01:08:08,447
people to pass. That would be a parking violation. Additionally, as we developed the downtown, I

613
01:08:14,187 --> 01:08:14,187
believe union has is bringing a ordinance that's going to allow the town manager to go ahead

614
01:08:21,193 --> 01:08:21,193
and start designating certain places as no parking zones with the between between the police

615
01:08:28,300 --> 01:08:28,300
department and union and the town manager. So if it becomes a problem, we can we can act

616
01:08:32,671 --> 01:08:32,671
quickly as opposed to going through all the ordinances that we have in the past. Okay.

617
01:08:36,909 --> 01:08:36,909
thank you. Thank you. Chief. Any other questions? Would anyone like to make a motion on

618
01:08:42,447 --> 01:08:42,447
this item? I motion to approve authorizing the town manager to execute a construction

619
01:08:49,587 --> 01:08:49,587
agreement with home run construction, llc for parvin park, and the amount of

620
01:08:57,262 --> 01:08:57,262
$532,145.32. Okay. Motion by amy bartley, seconded by cameron reeves. All in favor?

621
01:09:01,866 --> 01:09:01,866
motion passes unanimously. Thank you very much. Pleased to see the involvement on that

622
01:09:08,973 --> 01:09:08,973
particular budget item. So thank you. Item number 25 is discussed. And consider the

623
01:09:15,113 --> 01:09:15,113
town council subcommittee reports. The downtown committee met and we had no council

624
01:09:20,819 --> 01:09:20,819
members that were able to attend. So does a staff member wish to make a report? Thank

625
01:09:31,396 --> 01:09:31,396
you. Let's see, what did we talk about? I think we talked about the update on the

626
01:09:40,271 --> 01:09:40,271
monument. So the bids are active. We had an update meeting with the landscape

627
01:09:47,511 --> 01:09:47,511
architect last week to check on things. As of that time, we had three proposals that were in

628
01:09:53,884 --> 01:09:53,884
progress and bids are due on the 22nd. So we're hoping to bring you a bid award. First

629
01:09:59,023 --> 01:09:59,023
meeting in february. Chuck provided an update on the parking lot situation and and

630
01:10:06,630 --> 01:10:06,630
that's moving along. So we've got several projects that are that are progressing. Thank you.

631
01:10:13,037 --> 01:10:13,037
you're welcome. Cc. Oh yeah, I had a great meeting. We are changing things up a little bit

632
01:10:20,543 --> 01:10:20,543
with cc. We're breaking up the entire group into three working groups, one for events and live

633
01:10:27,551 --> 01:10:27,551
and prosper, one for communication and marketing and one for miac. And each working

634
01:10:35,425 --> 01:10:35,425
group is supposed to meet before our next meeting. Events and life and prosper is really

635
01:10:40,430 --> 01:10:40,430
supposed to be targeting and working on america. 250 and that should be bringing back in

636
01:10:46,002 --> 01:10:46,002
our february meeting for the larger group to discuss and make some decisions. So it's

637
01:10:50,039 --> 01:10:50,039
very exciting. Anybody else? Oh, good. Thank you very much for that. Next item is a possibly

638
01:10:56,879 --> 01:11:00,049
direct town staff to schedule topics for discussion at a future meeting. Does anyone have something that they would like to be have brought forward? I'll throw out something for us

639
01:11:05,287 --> 01:11:05,287
to discuss and that is that. Prior to christmas, I did a ride along with sergeant keith

640
01:11:11,661 --> 01:11:11,661
man, and he was off. Was nice enough to give me a full demo on the flock system drones, the

641
01:11:20,903 --> 01:11:20,903
first responder, which was very, very impressive. And then I had the opportunity to visit with

642
01:11:27,210 --> 01:11:27,210
our dispatch team and sit in on some time with them. So I simply throw out there it to

643
01:11:32,815 --> 01:11:32,815
the council that there's a lot of things there that if you have a few hours to spend going

644
01:11:37,119 --> 01:11:37,119
to go with the departments and spend time in dispatch, it's a very worthwhile experience. So

645
01:11:43,124 --> 01:11:43,124
thank you to sergeant man and the dispatch team. So anyone else things to discuss? Okay.

646
01:11:50,933 --> 01:11:50,933
with that, the town council will recess into closed session in compliance with section
