SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM VERA AND SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK FOR AN AUDIENCE CANVASSING THE RESULTS OF THE GENERAL ELECTION OF NOVEMBER 3RD, 2020.

COUNCIL, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU AND LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT THOSE THAT THAT IS PASSED UNANIMOUSLY FOR THOSE FOR THOSE OUT IN THE VIEWING PUBLIC, THIS IS THIS IS BASICALLY OUR PROCESS FOR FOR THE RESULTS OF OUR ELECTIONS, OUR CITY COUNCIL AND PROPOSITION ELECTION THAT WE HAD.

WE NORMALLY OBVIOUSLY LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE WE NORMALLY DO IN OUR LIVES.

WE DO THIS IN PERSON AND WE HAVE A SWEARING IN CEREMONY AND FAMILIES ARE CERTAINLY INVITED THIS YEAR.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT.

BUT WE DID TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECORD SOME OF THE SWEARING IN THAT WE DID PRIVATELY AND CARMA, IF YOU COULD RUN THAT VIDEO FOR ME.

I'D APPRECIATE IT.

WE ARE HERE TO WISH FAREWELL TO DAVID GIBBONS FROM DISTRICT ONE, DAVID RESIGNED EARLIER IN THE YEAR TO EXPLORE AND TAKE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY HERE IN OUR CITY.

YOU KNOW, SEVERAL YEARS AGO, DAVID CALLED ME WHEN HE WAS GETTING READY TO RUN FOR COUNCIL. AND WE SAT DOWN AND TALKED AND AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD HIM, BUT I HOPE IT IT HELPED HIM SOMEWHERE ALONG THROUGH THE YEARS.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT I AM GOING TO MISS HAVING DAVID HERE ON THE COUNCIL.

HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL, ESPECIALLY IN FINANCIAL MATTERS, IS UNMATCHED WITH ANYONE I HAVE SERVED WITH. AND SO THAT HIS LEVEL OF DETAIL AND REALLY HIS NO NONSENSE, THE WAY HE APPROACHES LIFE AND BUSINESS MATTERS AND CITY MATTERS IS REALLY GOING TO BE MISSED.

AND WE CERTAINLY WISH HIM WELL AND WE HOPE TO WORK WITH HIM DOWN THE ROAD.

DAVID, THANK YOU..

IF I MAY, I'LL TAKE THIS OFF.

MR. MAYOR, IT HAS BEEN MY DISTINCT HONOR, SIR, TO SERVE WITH YOU AND THE CURRENT MEMBERS OF THIS COUNCIL. IN ADDITION, I'D LIKE TO ALSO NOTE THAT I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SERVING WITH FORMER MAYOR LORI DODSON, AS WELL AS FORMER COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I [INAUDIBLE] STEVEN STANLEY AND B.J.

WILLIAMS AND I CHERISH THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AS WELL.

I COULDN'T STAND HERE BEFORE YOU AND TALK ABOUT SUCCESSES IN THIS CITY WITHOUT MENTIONING THE CITY MANAGER, BRIAN BRADFORD AND HIS STAFF.

THE CITIZENS OF GARLAND ARE SERVED BY OVER TWO THOUSAND CITY STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE HARDWORKING, COMMITTED TO DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB, COMMITTED TO DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR CITIZENS AND PROVIDING EXTRAORDINARY CUSTOMER SERVICE.

AND NO, NO DEPARTURE COULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT SAYING MY THANKS TO BOTH THE STAFF AND MR.

[00:10:02]

BRADFORD. AS I LOOK BACK OVER THE LAST FOUR PLUS YEARS THAT I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF SERVING ON COUNCIL, I THINK OF THE COUNCIL AND THE STAFF WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

AND DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME WE'VE MADE SOME MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF. WE SAW A CHARTER ELECTION PASSED WITH NUMEROUS AMENDMENTS, NEEDED AMENDMENTS TO OUR CHARTER. WHEN I CAME INTO COUNCIL FOUR YEARS AGO, OUR STREETS AND ALLEYS AND ROADS AND SIDEWALKS WERE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

EVERYONE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THEM.

AND WE SAT DOWN AS A GROUP, AS A TEAM, AND WE SAID, WE WANT TO ADDRESS THAT.

AND FOUR YEARS AGO, WE ADOPTED A RESOLUTION THAT SAID WE'RE GOING TO FUND TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS FOR OUR STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND ALLEYS.

AND WE SET ABOUT A PATH TO DO THAT.

WE INCREASED FUNDING BY 300 PERCENT.

AND FOUR YEARS LATER, I'M VERY HAPPY TO NOTE THAT WHILE WE CERTAINLY STILL HAVE SOME CHALLENGES WITH OUR STREETS AND ALLEYS AND SIDEWALKS, THEY'RE MUCH IMPROVED BY THIS PROGRAM THAT WE WORKED TOGETHER TO COMMIT.

AFTER MANY YEARS OF DISCUSSION, MANY YEARS OF DEBATE, I'M HAPPY TO SAY GARLAND FINALLY HAS A DOG PARK, AND I'M GLAD THAT THAT GOT ACCOMPLISHED DURING MY TERM OF OFFICE.

WE SET FORTH AND ADOPTED A COMPREHENSIVE NEW SIGN ORDINANCE PROGRAM THAT NOT ONLY MEETS CURRENT STATE AND FEDERAL LAW, BUT ALSO ADDRESSED THE ONGOING SIGN POLLUTION THAT WE HAD IN GARLAND AT THAT TIME.

SO I'M VERY PROUD OF THAT AS WELL.

FOR OUR CITIZENS, WE HAVE ADOPTED AND PUT INTO PLACE A HOME IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM WHERE CITIZENS CAN GET GRANTS TO IMPROVE THEIR HOMES.

SAME THING IS TRUE OF OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS THAT THEY CAN DO GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR IMPROVING THEIR FACADES OF THEIR BUSINESSES AND VERY TICKLED TO SEE THAT.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, OF RECENT, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MAYOR FOR SIGNING THE AGREEMENT IS AFTER MANY YEARS OF ANGST OVER THE WAY THAT THE NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT WAS CHARGING GARLAND FOR THEIR WATER.

THE COUNCIL TO THE LEADERSHIP OF FORMER MAYOR DODSON AND CURRENT MAYOR LEMAY HAS WORKED WITH THE OTHER CITIES, AND I'M GLAD TO REPORT THAT WE FINALLY REACHED AN AGREEMENT, I BELIEVE, THAT WAS JUST SIGNED LAST WEEK THAT WILL SAVE MONEY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME TO THE CITIZENS OF GARLAND.

NO ONE CAN REALLY REALIZE THE IMPACT THAT THIS NEW AGREEMENT WILL HAVE NOT ONLY ON OUR WATER SUPPLY, BUT ALSO THE COST OF THAT WATER.

AND LAST MOST IMPORTANTLY, I THINK THAT WE GOT ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS WAS THE FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE DOLLARS MILLION BOND PROGRAM THAT THE CITIZENS OVERWHELMINGLY APPROVED IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN AND THE COUNCIL NOT ONLY WORKED HARD AND DILIGENTLY WITH THE CITIZENS AND WITH THE STAFF TO GET THAT BOND PROGRAM PRESENTED AND PASSED. THEY'VE ALSO MADE THE COMMITMENT TO IMPLEMENT THAT BOND PROGRAM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AND WE'RE ALREADY SEEING THAT IN TERMS OF NEW PROJECTS THAT ARE HAPPENING TODAY. AND I KNOW THIS COUNCIL CONTINUES TO BE DEDICATED TO SEE THAT BOND PROGRAM COMPLETED WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS.

I'M VERY EXCITED TO SEE THAT THE CITIZENS WISHES ARE BEING FOLLOWED BY THE COUNCIL.

IN CLOSING, I'D LIKE TO SAY ONCE AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN MY DISTINCT HONOR TO SERVE THE CITIZENS OF GARLAND AND PARTICULARLY THE RESIDENTS OF DISTRICT ONE.

I AM HUMBLED, CONTINUALLY HUMBLED BY THE SUPPORT THAT I RECEIVED DURING MY TERM ON THE COUNCIL. IT IS A PERIOD OF TIME THAT I WILL CHERISH FOREVER.

AND I THANK YOU.

I THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF.

THANK YOU TO THE CITIZENS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SERVE.

[INAUDIBLE] LOOK FORWARD TO A BETTER GARLAND TOMORROW.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND NOW WE HAVE DISTRICT TWO DEBORAH MORRIS WILL BE COMING IN FOR HER SECOND TERM AND DEBORAH HAS BROUGHT A LEVEL OF COMPASSIONATE REPRESENTATION FOR DISTRICT TWO, WHICH I REALLY APPRECIATE.

SHE REALLY LOOKS AT THE ISSUES NOT JUST ON THE PAPER, BUT HOW THEY AFFECT THE PEOPLE.

AND THAT IS ALWAYS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO LOSE SIGHT OF.

WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT AN ORDINANCE OR AN ISSUE, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT COMES DOWN TO PEOPLE.

AND DEBORAH IS VERY FOCUSED ON THAT.

AND I WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE HER SECOND TERM.

PLEASE REPEAT AFTER ME AND STATE YOUR NAME.

AND I, DEBORAH MORRIS, DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM, DO SOLEMNLY AFFIRM THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE, THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBER FOR DISTRICT TWO, THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL.

MEMBER FOR DISTRICT TWO OF THE CITY OF GARLAND, OF THE CITY OF GARLAND.

[00:15:04]

OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND WILL, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND, PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS, THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF THIS STATE AND OF THIS STATE.

SO HELP ME GOD.

SO HELP ME GOD. OK, THANK YOU, ANNIE.

THAT'S IT.

I WOULD JUST LIKE FIRST TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS PUBLIC FIGURE WHO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SWEAR ME IN TODAY IS THE HONORABLE ANNIE DICKSON, FORMER COUNCILWOMAN IN DISTRICT TWO, AND SOMEONE WHO I'VE COME TO VALUE HIGHLY AS A SOURCE OF ADVICE AND COUNSEL AND DIRECTION AS I'VE NAVIGATED MY WAY THROUGH THIS JOB FOR THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ANNIE AND MY HUSBAND, WHO HELD THE BIBLE FOR ME, TERRY MORRIS. THANK YOU.

BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM, THEY MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT FOR YOU.

SO I'LL KEEP THIS SHORT.

WHEN I WAS SWORN IN IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN, I DID NOT COME WITH A PERSONAL AGENDA.

I PROMISED JUST THREE THINGS THAT I WOULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO YOU, THAT I WOULD KEEP YOU INFORMED, AND THAT I WOULD BE GUIDED IN MY DECISIONS BY YOUR COLLECTIVE VOICE.

I'VE KEPT THOSE PROMISES TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, AND I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THOSE PROMISES FOR AS LONG AS I REMAIN IN THIS OFFICE.

THIS JOB IS NOT ABOUT ME, IT'S ABOUT US.

SO TOGETHER WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF THINGS DONE FOR THE DISTRICT IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

YOU SHOWED ME WHERE TO LOOK.

YOU POINTED OUT THE ISSUES MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU AND YOU PARTNERED WITH ME IN THE PROCESS. OVER THESE NEXT TWO YEARS.

IT'S MY HOPE TO CONVINCE MORE AND MORE OF YOU TO CONNECT WITH US AND TO CONNECT WITH ME, TO HELP US TOGETHER, MAKE THIS CITY A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL OF US TO LIVE, WORK, RAISE CHILDREN AND ENJOY.

SO THANK YOU FOR ENTRUSTING ME ONCE AGAIN TO WORK FOR YOU AND WITH YOU HERE IN DISTRICT TWO. IT HAS BEEN A JOY.

AND NEXT, IN DISTRICT FOUR, WE HAVE B.J.

WILLIAMS, B.J.

IS RETURNING TO SERVICE ON THE COUNCIL AND I CAN'T TELL YOU.

WHEN I MET B.J., IT JUST SEEMS LIKE I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN HIM.

THROUGH SERVING ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

I SERVED ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION AFTER HIM AND HE SERVED ON THE COUNCIL THAT I SERVED ON THE COUNCIL. WE SERVED TOGETHER.

WE OVERLAPPED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

BUT B.J.

ABSOLUTELY KNOWS HIS DISTRICT INSIDE AND OUT.

BUT HE ALSO KNOWS THE CITY AND WHAT THE CITY NEEDS THROUGHOUT.

SO IT IS WITH GREAT HONOR THAT WE WELCOME B.J.

BACK TO THE COUNCIL. PLEASE REPEAT AFTER ME.

I, STATE YOUR NAME.

BJ WILLIAMS, DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR, DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE, THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBER FOR DISTRICT SEVEN DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBER FOR DISTRICT FOUR OF THE CITY OF GARLAND OF THE CITY OF ALL OF THE STATE OF TEXAS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND WILL AND WILL, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS, THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF THIS STATE OF THIS STATE.

SO HELP ME GOD AND SO HELP ME GOD.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU.

WELL, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, FOR THE INTRODUCTION.

I WANT TO, FIRST OF ALL, HONOR TO GOD FOR PLACING ME BACK HERE AGAIN.

I WANT TO THANK THE RESIDENTS AND THE VOTERS OF DISTRICT FOR THE CITY OF GOD AND FOR YOUR VOTE OF CONFIDENCE AND YOUR FAITH THAT YOU HAVE INTERESTED IN ME TO SERVE YOU.

I BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT SERVICE IS THAT THAT WE PAY FOR GOD ALLOWING US TO LIVE ON THIS

[00:20:03]

EARTH. SO I WILL DO MY BEST TO REPRESENT YOU TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY FOR THE GROWTH AND CARING OF THIS CITY THAT I LOVE MUCH.

IN CLOSING, I WOULD LIKE TO FOR THE PUBLIC TO I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS HERE AND DID THE OATH FOR ME TONIGHT.

AN INSPIRATION, THIS YOUNG MAN.

HIS NAME IS JULIAN BROWN.

HE'S A JUNIOR AT ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL AND HE ASPIRES ONE DAY, AND I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND SO WAS THE MAYOR.

I ASKED HIM WHAT DID HE WANT TO DO IN THE FUTURE? AND HE SAID, I'D LIKE TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE ON THE GARLAND CITY COUNCIL.

SO WE'RE INSPIRED BY THAT, MR. MAYOR. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, JULIAN.

JULIAN'S MOM AND FATHER AND HIS SISTER ARE HERE TONIGHT.

THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING ME TO ALLOW YOUR SON TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROCESS.

AND I KNOW THAT GOING FORWARD THAT HE'S GOING TO MAKE US ALL SUPER PROUD.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, JULIAN, FOR PARTICIPATING.

AND WITH THAT, GODSPEED.

MAY GOD BLESS GARLAND AND OUR TROOPS ON THIS VETERANS DAY AND MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND NOW IN DISTRICT FIVE, WE HAVE RICH AUBIN BEING SWORN IN FOR HIS THIRD TERM.

DURING RICH'S TIME HERE ON THE COUNCIL, HE HAS PROVEN TO BE A VERY PASSIONATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE CITIZENS OF HIS DISTRICT AND FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.

RICH IS ABSOLUTELY FEARLESS IN IN STANDING UP FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IS RIGHT AND FAIR ACROSS THE CITY. AND I APPRECIATE THAT FROM HIM.

AND I WELCOME HIM TO HIS THIRD TERM.

SO TONIGHT, BEING SWORN IN BY THE CITY ATTORNEY, BRAD NEIGHBOR, WHO I'VE KNOWN FOR OVER 30 YEARS NOW, AND I HAVE WITH ME MY DAUGHTERS, WHO ARE A LOT TALLER THAN THEY WERE FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO WHEN I FIRST GOT SWORN IN, ANTOINETTE, OLIVIA, ELEANOR AND GENEVIEVE.

COUNCIL MEMBER AUBIN, WOULD YOU REPEAT AFTER ME, I, RICHARD AUBIN, I, RICHARD AUBIN, DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM, DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE, THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBER FOR DISTRICT FIVE, THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBER FOR DISTRICT FIVE OF THE CITY OF GARLAND OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

OF THE CITY OF GARLAND.

OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND WILL, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND, PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF THIS STATE, THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THIS STATE.

SO HELP ME GOD. SO HELP ME GOD.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR THE KIND WORDS.

AND THANK YOU, MR. NEIGHBOR, FOR SWEARING ME IN.

IT IS MY PRIVILEGE AND HONOR TO EMBARK UPON A THIRD TERM FOR DISTRICT FIVE ON THE GARLAND CITY COUNCIL.

FOR THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS HAVE BEEN INTERESTING AT BEST.

WE'VE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS.

I'M VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS DONE HARMONIOUSLY, AND I GIVE GREAT CREDIT TO THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT I'VE SERVED WITH INTO MAYOR LEMAY, AND TO MAYOR DODSON. WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO SOLVE THE MOST NETTLESOME PROBLEMS IN THE CITY.

WE'VE WORKED HARD TO IMPLEMENT THE BOND PROGRAM.

WE HAVE MUCH WORK AHEAD OF US.

I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE CREDIT, THOUGH, TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY, THE RESIDENTS OF DISTRICT FIVE, WHO HAVE SO GRACIOUSLY SUPPORTED ME, SOMETIMES LESS GRACIOUSLY THAN OTHERS. BUT I HAVE APPRECIATED THEIR INPUT AND THEIR IDEAS AT EVERY TURN.

AND I'M ALSO VERY GRATEFUL FOR OUR COUNCIL, PARTICULARLY FOR COUNCILMAN BOOKOUT AND COUNCILMAN GIBBONS, WHO ARE LEAVING THE COUNCIL AT THIS TIME.

AND I'VE GREATLY APPRECIATED THEIR WORK AND THEIR INPUT IN THAT OF THE COUNCIL AS WE'VE GRAPPLED WITH THE DIFFICULT ISSUES OF THE DAY AND OF MOVING THE CITY FORWARD.

AND ULTIMATELY, THAT'S THE GOAL, IS PROGRESS, CONSTANT PROGRESS.

AND I THINK WE'VE DONE A LOT, BUT WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.

AND THEN FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE STAFF.

WITHOUT STAFF, NONE OF US ON COUNCIL--A LOT OF TIMES YOU'LL HEAR POLITICIANS TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY DID: I DID THIS OR I DID THAT OR I MADE THIS THING HAPPEN.

[00:25:03]

BUT THE REALITY IS THAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING IN THE LAST FOUR AND A HALF YEARS WITHOUT THE VOTES OF AT LEAST FOUR OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS COUNCIL, WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF RESIDENTS AND WITHOUT THE WORK OF STAFF AND MUCH OF OUR STAFF WAS HERE LONG BEFOREHAND.

AND MUCH OF OUR STAFF WILL BE HERE LONG AFTER WE ARE GONE.

AND SO WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE.

I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE DEDICATED MEMBERS OF STAFF IN GARLAND IN PARTICULAR IN THAT REGARD. I'D LIKE TO THANK OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT.

IT ALL FLOWS DOWN FROM THE TOP.

AND SO FROM MR. BRADFORD, THE CITY MANAGER, AND FROM JOHN BAKER AND MITCH BATES.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO PARTICULARLY THANK BRAD NEIGHBOR WHO SWORE ME IN TONIGHT.

AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WANTED TO HAVE KNOWN BRAD FOR 30 YEARS, AND I KNOW OF NO FINER ATTORNEY, NO ONE MORE ETHICAL, MORE DEDICATED TO THE SUCCESS OF THE CITY THAN BRAD.

AND OVER OVER 30 YEARS AGO, THE CITY ENTERED INTO A BAD WATER CONTRACT REALLY BAD.

AND BRAD HAS SPENT 30 YEARS IN SOMETHING OF A CAPTAIN AHAB ROLE CHASING DOWN THAT BAD CONTRACT TO DO BETTER FOR THE RESIDENTS OF GARLAND.

THIS YEAR, ONLY IN THE LAST MONTH HE SUCCEEDED.

AND AND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE SERVICE OF BRAD AND FOR PEOPLE LIKE HIM WITHIN THE CITY.

AND IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS AND HE'S ALSO A FRIEND.

HE'S I'VE KNOWN BRAD FOR 30 YEARS.

HE'S ONE OF THE FIRST LAWYERS I EVER PRACTICED WITH.

AND SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR HIM AND FOR HIS SERVICE AND FOR HIS FRIENDSHIP.

YOU KNOW, TONIGHT, I ACTUALLY LEFT MY LINCOLN BIBLE AT HOME, SO UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDN'T SWEAR IN ON THAT.

BUT THANKFULLY, THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF BIBLES HERE AT CITY HALL.

AND I SWORE IN ON FIRST CORINTHIANS, AND YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW IT AS IT TALKS ABOUT LOVE AND YOU'VE HEARD IT MANY TIMES IN THE CONTEXT OF A WEDDING, BUT PERHAPS NOT IN THE CONTEXT OF A POLITICAL SPEECH.

BUT WE AS A CITY, WE'RE JUST A COLLECTION OF PEOPLE.

AND WE ARE NOT A CITY THAT IS RICH IN TERMS OF MONEY.

WE'RE NOT A WEALTHY CITY.

BUT WE ARE GREATLY ENRICHED BY THE LOVE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF AND EMPLOYEES AND THE RESIDENTS HAVE FOR OUR CITY.

I KNOW OF AND I'VE SAID THIS MANY TIMES AND IT REMAINS TRUE, I KNOW OF NO CITY IN AMERICA OR THE WORLD THAT IS AS AS BLESSED AND FORTUNATE AS THE CITY OF GARLAND.

AND THAT REMAINS TRUE.

AND I HOPE IT REMAINS TRUE LONG AFTER I AM OFF THE COUNCIL.

SO IN ANY EVENT, I LOOK FORWARD TO MY LAST 18 MONTHS ON COUNCIL AND I THANK YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS GARLAND.

GOD BLESS TEXAS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA, THIS CITY TO STATE IN THIS COUNTRY WHICH WE SO GREATLY CHERISH. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, CARMA. HERE WE GO.

AND SO THAT IS OUR SWEARING IN CEREMONIES AND FAREWELL AND I HAVE TO SAY, I THINK MR. BOOKOUT HAS ALREADY SIGNED OFF.

I DON'T SEE HIM HERE WITH US, BUT WE CERTAINLY WANT TO EXTEND OUR THANKS TO JIM BOOKOUT FOR HIS SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS OF DISTRICT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

JIM IS A VERY PRINCIPLED PERSON AND HAS FOLLOWED HIS PRINCIPLES FROM THE FIRST DAY HE WAS IN OFFICE UNTIL RIGHT NOW AND BEYOND.

AND I APPRECIATE JIM.

JIM, WILL STAND ON A LINE AND HE'S WILLING TO TAKE ANYTHING THAT COMES.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT FROM HIM.

AND I SAY WE WISH HIM WELL.

AND I BELIEVE IF I'M SEEING B.J.

[00:30:01]

WILLIAMS HAS JOINED US IN THE QUEUE.

B.J.. EXCUSE ME, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, SORRY IF YOU COULD TURN YOUR CAMERA ON FOR US, PLEASE. THERE HE IS.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE DO ACTUALLY HAVE SOME OTHER BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO HERE THIS EVENING, SO WE WILL MOVE ON IN OUR AGENDA TO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[5A. Consider a Zoning request by Development Engineering Consultants, LLC to construct five (5) single-family detached homes at 4926 Locust Grove Road in District 3.]

ITEM FIVE OUT.

ITEM 5 A IS CONSIDER A ZONING REQUEST BY DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC TO CONSTRUCT FIVE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AT FORTY NINE TWENTY SIX LOCUST GROVE IN DISTRICT THREE.

AND KIMBERLY, I BELIEVE YOU'RE UP.

YES, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS THE REQUEST, AS STATED.

THE PROJECT IS LOCATED AT FORTY NINE, TWENTY SIX LOCUST GROVE ROAD AND THE ACREAGE IS 1 ACRE. THIS IS THE LOCATION MAP THE PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN TEAL, AND IT ZONED AGRICULTURE . THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY SINGLE FAMILY SF7 AND IS DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE FAMILY, DETACHED HOMES.

AND THEN THERE IS A A SINGLE FAMILY SF7 LOCATED HERE AND IT IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED WITH A CHURCH.

BUT THE SITE IS IMPROVED WITH A UNOCCUPIED STRUCTURE.

ACROSS THE STREET IS ZONED PD8237 AND 8232 AND IS DEVELOPED WITH SELF-STORAGE USES.

THESE ARE THE PHOTOS OF THE AREA.

THIS IS THE AREA OF REQUEST, ACROSS THE STREET IS THE SELF-STORAGE AND THIS IS THE UNOCCUPIED STRUCTURE AND THIS IS THE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED UNITS.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING FIVE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND THEIR BASE ZONE IS SF5 ON LOCUST GROVE AND THE FIVE LOTS AND ALSO ONE OPEN SPACE LOT.

THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING, THEY ARE COMPLYING WITH THE GARLAND DEVELOPING CODE AS PER THE GDC, A SCREENING WALL IS REQUIRED ALONG A THOROUGHFARE TYPE D OR GREATER.

THE LOCUST GROVE IS LESS THAN A TYPE D AS PER THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

THEREFORE, THE SCREENING IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

HOWEVER, A SIX FOOT HIGH STEPPED DOWN BOARD ON BOARD IS PROVIDED ALONG LOCUST GROVE AND THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROVIDING A SIX FOOT HIGH ORNAMENTAL FENCE.

TO THE WEST, WHICH IS FOR LOT ONE, AND THEN THE REMAINING WAS THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A SIX FOOT WOULD PRIVACY FENCE, WHICH IS FROM LOTS TWO THROUGH LOT FIVE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING ELEVATIONS; THIS IS THE ELEVATION TYPE ONE.

AND THIS IS THE ELEVATION TYPE TWO.

AND THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING COMPLIES WITH THE GARLAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, EXCEPT THE GARAGE DOOR OFFSET.

THE GARAGES WILL MEET THE 20 FOOT SETBACK REQUIREMENTS ON ALL LOTS, LOTS THAT HAVE A 15 FOOT BUILDING SET BACK WILL STILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A 20 FOOT SETBACK.

AND WILL HAVE THE OPTION TO PUSH THE FRONT PORCH OR THE FRONT DOOR OUT IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE DOOR. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING DEVIATIONS FROM THE SF5 DISTRICT.

[00:35:03]

SO THE APPLICANT PROVIDED SEVEN LOTS PLANNING COMMISSION AND NOW THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING FIVE LOTS, INCLUDING THE OPEN SPACE LOT.

THE LOT AREA IS FOUR TO FIVE IS REQUIRED TO HAVE FIVE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET AND FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY SQUARE FEET AVERAGE.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSED TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED TEN SQUARE FEET AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND NOW THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THREE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED SQUARE FEET MINIMUM AND FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY EIGHT SQUARE FOOT AVERAGE WITH THE REVISED PLANS. THE LOT WIDTH IS REQUIRED TO HAVE FIFTY FIVE FEET AND 60 FEET FOR THE CORNER LOT.

AT PLANNING COMMISSION, THE APPLICATION PROPOSED THIRTY SIX FEET FOR ALL LOTS.

FOR THE NEW PROPOSAL THE LOT ONE IS FIFTY SEVEN FEET.

LOT TWO THROUGH FOUR IS FIFTY ONE FEET AND LOT FIVE IS FORTY THREE FEET.

THE LOT DEPTH IS 90 FEET IS REQUIRED FOR THE SF5, THE APPLICANT PROVIDE PROVIDED 70 FEET FOR PLANNING COMMISSION AND NOW THEY REVISE PLANS.

THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING LOT ONE FOR A 70 FEET LOT, TWO THROUGH FOUR.

SEVENTY THREE FEET AND FIVE EIGHTY FIVE FEET.

OR THE SETBACK ADJACENT TO STREETS WHERE THE FRONT, THE SF5, REQUIRES 20 FEET AND 15 FEET ALONG CUL DE SACS, THE APPLICANT PROVIDED AT PLANNING COMMISSION LOT TWO AT 15 FEET AND NOW THE APPLICANT IS MEETING THE GC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SF5 WITH THE REVISIONS.

THESE SIDE SETBACK ADJACENT TO STREET IS 15 FEET AND THE APPLICATION IS KEEPING THE DISTANCE AT FIVE FEET.

THE SETBACK IS NOT ADJACENT TO STREET, THE APPLICANT IS MEETING BGEC REQUIREMENTS AND ALSO THE REAR REQUIREMENTS.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO MEETING THE GARAGE REQUIREMENT, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING FOR AN ALLEY WAIVER SINCE THEY WILL NOT HAVE REAR ENTRY DUE TO THE WAIVER AND ALSO PROVIDING A 20 FOOT SET BACK ON ALL LOTS, NO OFFSET REQUIRED.

AND IN REGARDS TO THE ELEVATIONS.

FOR THE GDC IS REQUIRED TO HAVE.

FOR THE FRONT, ELEVATIONS MUST NOT BE DUPLICATED ON THE THREE ADJACENT HOUSES ON BOTH SIDES OR ON THE FOUR HOUSES DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET, AND THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING TWO ELEVATION TYPES.

AND THIS IS REMAINING WITH THE REVISION, HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING A VARIATION OF MATERIALS THAT WILL COMPLY WITH THE GDC.

THIS IS A COMPARISON OF WHAT THE APPLICANT PROPOSED AT PLANNING COMMISSION, AND THIS IS WHAT THESE SEVEN LOTS AND THE OPEN SPACE AND FOR CITY COUNCIL, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THE FIVE LOTS AND THE OPEN SPACE.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO REQUESTING FOR AN ALLEY WAIVER.

THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, HAS REVIEWED IT, AND IT DOES MEET THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS.

THE APPLICANT IS NOT PROPOSING A SIGN FOR THE SUBDIVISION AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER, IF A SIGN IS PROPOSED IN THE FUTURE, IT MUST MEET THE GDC REQUIREMENTS.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION, APPROVAL OF ONE A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM AGRICULTURE DISTRICT TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR A SINGLE FAMILY, DETACHED UNITS, AND TWO AN ALLEY WAIVER

[00:40:04]

AND 3 A DETAILED PLAN.

IN ADDITION, STAFF RECOMMENDS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO FACILITATE THE REQUESTED DEVIATIONS IN THE PROPOSED BUILDING MATERIALS STANDARDS BY THE APPLICANT.

PLANNING COMMISSION ON SEPTEMBER 28 MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE FAILED TWO TO SEVEN FOR ONE A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM AGRICULTURE DISTRICT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED UNITS AND TWO THE ALLEYWAY WHERE THE PLANNING COMMISSION ALSO VOTED EIGHT TO ONE, ALSO RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF A DETAILED PLAN FOR A SINGLE FAMILY OF FIVE USES.

IN RESPONSE, THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED REVISIONS TO THE APPLICATION PROPOSED FOR CITY COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION.

WE MAILED OUT 32 NOTIFICATION LETTERS, THREE ARE AGAINST WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA, AND ONE IS AGAINST, OUTSIDE OF THE NOTIFICATION AREA, TOTAL RESPONSES FOR.

AND THAT IS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, KIMBERLY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK? YOU'RE MUTED.

GOT ME. YOU OWE ME A CUP OF COFFEE.

YEAH. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AND THANK YOU, MISS HOPKINS, FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I HAVE JUST A FEW QUESTIONS HERE.

THE SIDEWALK ALONG LOCUST, IS THAT A PROPOSED SIDEWALK FOR THE SITE PLAN? THE SIX FOOT SIDEWALK? YES, THAT IS THE PROPOSED SIDEWALK.

OK. AND WILL THE HOME BUILDER THEN BE REQUIRED TO BUILD THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF LOTS, ONE AND TWO IN THE RIGHT DEDICATION AREA THAT WILL CONNECT TO THAT SIX FOOT SIDEWALK? I'M NOT SURE; THAT MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.

OK, I SEE THAT THEY DO HAVE SIDEWALK ALONG THE OPEN SPACE AREA AROUND THE CUL DE SAC PROPER, AND FOR THE LOTS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT SIDEWALK, I ASSUME, WILL BE BUILT BY THE HOME BUILDER, BUT IT NEEDS TO JUST MAKE SURE IT CONNECTS UP TO THE LOCUST GROVE RIGHT OF WAY SIDEWALK THERE.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. KIMBERLY, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE CHANGE IN THE LOT COUNT HAS MITIGATED SOME OF THIS, BUT CHAIRMAN ROBERTS MADE A POINT, I GUESS, IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN WITH THE SEVEN LIGHTS, THE HOMES WOULD BE MUCH CLOSER TOGETHER AND MUCH CLOSER TO THE PROPERTY LINE.

AND THERE WAS SOME REQUIREMENTS THAT THE BUILDER WOULD HAVE TO MEET AS FAR AS FIRE RATINGS. AND, YOU KNOW, THE LOT THAT WAS, I GUESS, CLOSEST TO THE STREET THAT THE AWNING WOULD HAVE TO BE CUT BACK OR THE [INAUDIBLE] WOULD HAVE TO BE CUT BACK.

DOES DOES THIS NEW PLAN MITIGATE THAT OUT OF THE ISSUE? YES, I CAN JUMP IN ON THAT.

YES, IT DOES, BECAUSE THE APPLICANT INCREASED THE LOT SIZES AND THEREFORE THE SIGN SETBACKS THAT--.

I JUST WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT, BECAUSE THAT WAS A VERY GOOD POINT, THAT CHAIRMAN ROBERTS MADE.

AND SO I THOUGHT THAT THE SITUATION AND PROBABLY CHANGED.

BUT REAL QUICK, MR. [INAUDIBLE], WHILE WE HAVE YOU HERE, CAN YOU, AND I SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NOTIFICATION LETTERS, CAN YOU ALSO UPDATE US ON NOTIFICATIONS? YES, SIR. THE NUMBER OF NOTIFICATIONS ARE SPECIFIC TO 20 PERCENT.

THE 20 PERCENT RULE, SIR.

YES. YES. YES, SIR.

BECAUSE ONE OF THE OPPOSITION RESPONSES THAT WAS RECEIVED IS THE LARGE PROPERTY THAT ESSENTIALLY SURROUNDS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON THREE SIDES, THAT TRIGGERS WHAT WE CALL THE 20 PERCENT RULE PER STATE LAW, BECAUSE MORE THAN 20 PERCENT OF THE PHYSICAL LAND AREA, THE OWNERSHIP REPRESENTING THAT LAND AREA WITHIN TWO HUNDRED FEET OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN OPPOSITION. SO THEREFORE, THAT REQUIRES A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE OF THE COUNCIL, WHICH AT THE ORDINANCE, [INAUDIBLE] TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT, THAT'S AT THE TIME OF THE ORDINANCE APPROVAL THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING IS SEVEN VOTES THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD BE NEEDED AT THAT

[00:45:05]

TIME FOR APPROVAL. OK, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I DO HAVE SOME MORE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I'VE JUST GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

GOOD EVENING, MISS HOPKINS.

I DON'T THINK THAT WE'VE MET. GOOD EVENING.

OK, MY QUESTION IS LOOKING AT YOUR STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

AND I WANT TO BE SURE THAT I'M CLEAR ON THE RECOMMENDATION ON THE IN ADDITION PART, YOU'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.

IN ADDITION TO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

SO DOES YOUR RECOMMENDATION ARE YOU ASKING FOR APPROVAL PENDING THE PREPARATION OF A DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PART B TO MY QUESTION IS, WOULD YOU BRIEFLY YOUR MR. [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC SERVICE? WHAT A DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS AND HOW DOES THAT IMPACT THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION BRIEFING? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

AND MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS, IF THAT'S OK, I CAN JUMP IN AND MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO TRY TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT ABOUT THE STATE LAWS AND LEGISLATION THAT WAS APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR, LIMITING CITIES ABILITIES TO REGULATE BUILDING MATERIALS.

SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, SUGGESTION COMES DOWN TO AND WE'VE HAD A FEW OF THESE IN THE PAST YEAR OR SO, PARTICULARLY SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS WHERE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ACCOMPANIES THE ZONING AND THE DETAILED PLAN IN ORDER FOR THE CITY TO SECURE WHAT THE BUILDING MATERIALS THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING BECAUSE IT'S NOT ENFORCEABLE VIA ZONING ORDINANCE, IT'S ONLY ENFORCEABLE THROUGH A CONTRACTOR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE WE GET THOSE BUILDING MATERIALS THAT THE CITY, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING AND THE TRADE OFF IS ESSENTIALLY IT CAN BE A NUMBER OF THINGS.

BUT IN MOST CASES, WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR IS THE TRADE OFF IS THE GDC DEVIATIONS THAT THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR.

ESSENTIALLY THE TRADE OFF IS THE CITY GETS THE PROMISED BUILDING MATERIALS WHILE THE APPLICANT GETS THE DEVIATIONS IN THIS CASE FROM THE LOT SIZES AND WHATNOT.

AND SO, YES, SIR, IF THE ITEM IS APPROVED PER THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WE WOULD BRING THAT BACK, I BELIEVE WITH THE ORDINANCE IS WHAT WE WOULD TRY TO DO. OK, SO YOU WOULD YOU WOULD BRING THAT BACK TO COUNCIL WITH THE ORDINANCE.

AM I CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT, SIR.

OK, ALL RIGHT.

OK, MISS HOPKINS, WOULD YOU REPOST THE ELEVATION SCREEN BRIEFLY, PLEASE? OK, SO MR. [INAUDIBLE]. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, SIR. OK, OK.

SO WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT COMES BACK WITH THE ORDINANCE.

CAN YOU BRIEFLY JUST ELABORATE IN LAYMAN'S TERMS HOW THAT MAY IMPACT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW FOR THE BENEFIT, AGAIN, OF THE FOLKS WHO ARE WATCHING? YES, SIR. SO ON THE ELEVATIONS PULLED UP HERE.

THE APPLICANT IS SHOWING SOME WAINSCOTING, SOME BRICK TRIM AROUND THE GARAGES IN THE FRONT DOORS. I BELIEVE IN ADDITION TO THAT, KIMBERLY ALLUDED TO IT EARLIER.

AND THE APPLICANT MAY BE ABLE TO EXPAND ON THIS AND CONFIRM THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING IS CORRECT. BUT IN HIS ATTEMPT TO TRY TO PROVIDE SOME VARIATION ON THESE TWO ELEVATION TYPES, I BELIEVE HE'S GOING TO TRY TO MIX AND MINGLE SOME OF THE BUILDING MATERIALS TO KIND OF PROVIDE THAT VARIATION SO THAT NO HOMES ARE COMPLETELY IDENTICAL.

MR. STEWART MAY BE ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT UNDERSTANDING IS CORRECT BASED ON HIS TESTIMONY IN HIS RESUBMITTAL. BUT YES, SIR, BASICALLY THE BUILDING MATERIALS THAT ARE SHOWN HERE WOULD BE AN EXHIBIT AS PART OF THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT AND SO THEREFORE WOULD BE ENFORCEABLE MOVING FORWARD DURING PERMITTING AND INSPECTIONS.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MR.

[00:50:01]

MAYOR. KIMBERLY, IF YOU COULD UN-SHARE THAT.

ALL RIGHT, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? IF NOT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE APPLICANT.

I SEE MR. STEWART IN HERE, SIR, IF YOU COULD GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND YOU WILL HAVE 10 MINUTES TO MAKE A PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. GOOD EVENING AND GOOD EVENING.

COUNCIL MEMBERS. APPRECIATE BEING BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

MY NAME IS DANIEL STEWART.

I AM REPRESENTING THE DEVELOPER ON THIS APPLICATION.

ADDRESS THIS TWENTY FIVE NINETY ONE.

DALLAS PARKWAY, FRISCO, TEXAS, SEVEN FIVE ZERO THREE FOUR.

BACKGROUND.

ON THE SITE ITSELF.

THIS WAS AN OLD SINGLE FAMILY LOT THAT WAS DESTROYED BY THE TORNADO FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO. AND SO IT HAS JUST BEEN A VACANT LOT SINCE THAT POINT.

YOU SAW SOME PICTURES FROM STAFF.

IT'S KIND OF BECOME OVERGROWN.

THERE'S JUST FOUNDATIONS LEFT AT THIS POINT.

AND SO WE ARE PROPOSING TO COME IN THERE AND DEVELOP THAT INTO THE SUBDIVISION YOU SEE NOW.

THE PROPERTY ON ALL THREE SIDES WAS ACTUALLY AN OLD CHURCH THAT WAS ALSO DEMOLISHED BY THAT SAME TORNADO, HAS NOT BEEN REBUILT YET, BUT THAT'S THE UNOCCUPIED STRUCTURE THE STAFF WAS REFERRING TO.

AND SO JUST KIND OF A BRIEF HISTORY ON THAT.

WE STARTED PUTTING THIS PLAN TOGETHER.

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S ONE ACRE SITE, WHICH IS NOT A WHOLE LOT OF ROOM TO WORK WITH, BUT WE THINK WE HAVE COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT REALLY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL AND BE A GOOD ADDITION TO THE CITY. THE COUPLE OF RESTRICTIONS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IN ADDITION TO THE SMALL LOT SIZE, THOUGH, IS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SITE PLAN THAT WE PROPOSED, THE DETAILED PLAN.

ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARY.

THERE IS AN EXISTING CREEK THERE.

AND SO THAT IS PROVIDING A COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD TO WORK THROUGH.

WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THE NATURAL APPEARANCE OF THAT CREEK JUST AS AN ESTHETIC.

WE THINK THAT'S A BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF JUST PIPING THAT.

SO WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN TO TRY TO PRESERVE SOME OF THE NATURAL LOOK OF THAT THAT CREEK. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THOUGH, WE ALSO LOCUST GROVE, YOU CAN SEE, HAS NOT BEEN IMPROVED OR WIDENED IN THE SECTION OF OUR LOT.

AND SO IN ADDITION TO HAVING TO PARTICIPATE IN SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF LOCUST GROVE, SINCE THE SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTY WEST OF US HAS BEEN DEVELOPED, THE CITY HAS MODIFIED THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN. AND SO NOW THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL 10 FEET OF RIGHT AWAY THAT WE HAD TO DEDICATE THAT IS NOT PRESENT ON ANY OF THE PROPERTIES SURROUNDING US.

SO AGAIN, THAT WAS JUST ONE MORE LAND AREA THAT KIND OF GOT TAKEN AWAY FROM US BEING ABLE TO DEVELOP HOMES THERE.

AND SO WE TOOK THE PLAN TO PLANNING COMMISSION.

WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT PARKING.

AND SO AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AS FAR THAT GOES, WE ACTUALLY DID BY THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAVE A DISCUSSION.

PLANNING DIRECTOR [INAUDIBLE] WAS WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING US SET UP A MEETING WITH THE PLANNING DIRECTOR, THE CITY MANAGER AND A COUPLE OTHER FOLKS FIRE.

AND WE ACTUALLY TALKED THROUGH SOME OPTIONS ON HOW TO TRY TO ADDRESS THAT AS BEST WE COULD AND SENT A COUPLE SITE PLAN REVISIONS BACK AND FORTH, ULTIMATELY DETERMINED THAT SOME OF THE ALTERNATIVES DIDN'T REALLY FUNCTION WELL.

THEY PRESENTED MORE PROBLEMS THAN THEY DID SOLUTIONS.

AND SO WE HAVE WE HAVE KEPT THE CUL DE SAC LAYOUT THAT YOU SEE HERE.

IT DOES MEET ALL OF THE TECHNICAL STANDARD MANUAL REQUIREMENTS AND THE CITY REGULATIONS FOR PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY AND PUBLIC STREETS.

SO WE'RE NOT REQUESTING ANY DEVIATIONS IN THAT AREA.

AND SO WE THINK THAT, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS KIND OF THE BEST SOLUTION FOR ISD CITY SERVICES, ET CETERA, AS FAR AS THE STREET LAYOUT GOES.

AND THEN, IN RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE GONE FROM SEVEN MONTHS DOWN TO FIVE.

WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH COUNCIL MEMBER NICKERSON WHEN [INAUDIBLE] PRESENT TIME, BUT WE WORKED WITH HIM BACK AND FORTH AND COORDINATING ON WHAT WOULD BE A SUCCESSFUL PLAN

[00:55:06]

MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN WHAT WE HAD AT PLANNING COMMISSION.

WE THINK WE'VE GOTTEN THAT AND WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE.

THIS PLAN.

COUNCILMAN NICKERSON AND HE INDICATED HIS SUPPORT OF THE LAYOUT THAT WE'RE SHOWING YOU TONIGHT. AND WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH HIM ON KIND OF GETTING TO THIS POINT.

AND SO I GUESS TO ANSWER A COUPLE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP JUST A MINUTE AGO ON THE SIDEWALK ISSUE, WE WILL REQUIRE THAT CONNECTION TO BE MADE AND WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE DETAILS OF GOING AFTER THAT RIGHT AWAY SIDEWALK RIGHT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A GAP IN THERE.

WHETHER THE DEVELOPER BUILDS THAT WITH THE STREET SIDEWALK, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OR IT'S DONE BY THE HOME BUILDER, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT SOMEBODY GETS THAT SIDEWALK IN AND THEN THE DEVELOPER WILL BE PUTTING IN THE SIDEWALK, YOU SEE AROUND THE OPEN SPACE LOT. AND SO THAT'LL BE DONE AT THE TIME OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STREET, THE NEW CUL DE SAC STREET.

SO THAT'LL BE DONE.

STAFF, TOUCHED ON THE FENCING ALONG THOSE LOCUST GROVE.

WE HAVE UPGRADED THAT TO MATCH THE SINGLE FAMILY BACK TO THE WEST WITH THE ENHANCED BOARD ON BOARD FENCE.

LIKE I SAID, THAT'LL TIE, I THINK, NICELY WITH THE SUBDIVISION JUST TO THE WEST OF US.

AND THEN, OH, AND AS FAR AS THE BUILDING SETBACKS MR. MAYOR, YOU ARE CORRECT THAT WE'VE ADDRESSED THAT CONCERN.

THAT WAS DUE TO A COUPLE OF THE LOTS.

WE HAD REDUCED THE SET BACK BY ABOUT SIX INCHES, AND THAT HAS NOW SINCE BEEN MOVED BACK OUT. REGARDING THE FACADES, MS. HOPKINS WAS CORRECT. WE ARE PROPOSING TWO ELEVATIONS.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE COMMITTED TO EACH HOUSE, EACH ADJACENT HOUSE, EITHER HAVING TO PICK A DIFFERENT ELEVATION THAN THE ONE BESIDE IT OR MIRRORING THE FACADE TO PROVIDE THAT VARIATION TO MEET THE INTENT OF THE GDC.

AND SO AND I WOULD ALSO BRING UP THAT WE TRIED TO PROVIDE SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THE PLAN, AS WAS ALLUDED TO WITH THE GARAGE AND FRONT DOOR SET BACK TO WHERE WE HAVE WE'VE RESTRICTED THAT THAT GARAGE, THAT BACK TO 20 FEET TO MEET THE CODE.

THE IDEA WAS IF A FEW OF THESE LOTS THAT HAD THE ABILITY TO PUSH THE FRONT DOOR UP IN FRONT OF THAT COULD THEN THEY'D HAVE THE OPTION TO DO THAT.

BUT SOME OF THE LOTS WOULD REQUIRE THE FRONT DOOR TO BE SET BACK AND THEN THE FRONT PORCH WOULD BE ADJACENT WITH THE WITH THE GARAGE.

AND SO WE TRIED.

THAT'S THE REASON YOU SEE SOME OF THOSE SET BACKS BEING DETAILED AS THEY ARE.

WE TRIED TO PROVIDE SOME FLEXIBILITY FOR MORE VARIATION IN THE FACADE, WHICH WE THINK IS AN IMPROVEMENT IF IT'S ABLE TO AS THE LOT'S DEVELOPED.

SO WITH THAT, I THINK LIKE I SAID, I THINK WE'VE COME UP WITH A PLAN.

WE'VE ENJOYED WORKING WITH STAFF AND COUNCILMAN NICKERSON OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

IT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WE REQUESTED POSTPONEMENT OF THE LAST MEETING JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD EVERYBODY ON BOARD AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO.

WE THINK THIS IS A REALLY SUCCESSFUL PLAN THAT CAN BE GOOD FOR BOTH THE CITY AND US.

AND SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE AT THIS POINT.

WELL, THANK YOU, SIR. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT EXCUSE ME, COUNSELOR MORRIS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. I ALWAYS HIT THE MUTE BUTTON TWICE AND THEN THERE I AM IN THE.

UM. SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, MR. STEWART, AND I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU AND LET YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF COUNCIL MEMBER NICKERSON'S ABSENCE, I DID CHECK WITH HIM.

AND YES, YOU ARE QUITE RIGHT.

HE'S EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK YOU'VE DONE.

SO THANK YOU. THAT WAS GOOD TO HEAR FROM HIM.

AND ALSO BECAUSE OF HIS ABSENCE, I DID REACH OUT TO MR. H., THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY THAT WRAPS YOURS.

AND HE HAD ACTUALLY, ON HIS RESPONSE NOTE, HAD BEEN SPECIFIC ABOUT SOME CONCERNS, WHICH I ALWAYS APPRECIATE, RATHER THAN SOMEBODY JUST SAYING I'M FOR IT OR AGAINST IT AND NOT GIVING US ANY SO THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY WORK AROUND CITIZENS WHEN WE'RE MAKING THESE KIND

[01:00:04]

OF DECISIONS. SO I DID SPEAK WITH HIM THIS AFTERNOON, AND I WILL TELL YOU, AND IT IS VERY MUCH WHAT HE WROTE ON HIS NOTE, HIS BIG CONCERN IS HE WANTS A FENCE AROUND THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING, NOT JUST ALONG LOCUST GROVE.

HE WANTS IT ON THE EAST, WEST AND SOUTH.

AND SO HE INDICATED TO ME THAT IF WE REQUIRED OF YOU OR IF YOU COMMITTED TO FENCE CONTINUOUSLY THOSE SITES THAT WOULD ADDRESS HIS OPPOSITION AND THAT HE WOULD HE WOULD BE GOOD WITH IT MOVING FORWARD, WHICH ISN'T A LEGAL POSITION ON HIS PART.

BUT AS FAR AS MY COMFORT IN.

BEING SUPPORTIVE OF A PROJECT THAT A MAJOR LANDOWNER NEARBY HAS EXPRESSED OPPOSITION TO.

I FOUND THAT HELPFUL. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU AND AGAIN, I TALKED WITH HIM AT LENGTH, THE AREA, THE OPEN AREA THERE BY THE CUL DE SAC.

AND LOOKING OVER TOWARD THE CREEK.

I DON'T SEE ON YOUR PLAN ANY PLANS FOR FENCES ALONG THERE.

IS THAT A POSSIBILITY THAT YOU COULD, IN FACT, EVEN AN ORNAMENTAL FENCE THAT YOU COULD SEE THROUGH, IS THAT A POSSIBILITY? THAT'S DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY AND SOMETHING WE'D BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT AND PROVIDE.

LIKE YOU SAID, OUR INITIAL THOUGHT WAS TO, "AMENITIZE" THAT AREA AND BE ABLE TO OFFER IT AS A VIEWING AMENITY.

BUT WE CAN EASILY DO THAT WITH AN OPEN DECORATIVE FENCE AND HELP ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS.

I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE AT ALL.

OK, THAT'S HELPFUL, AND I WATCHED THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS AND AS A FEW MOMENTS AGO, I WAS NOT BEST PLEASED WITH SOME OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED OF YOU.

THAT STRUCK ME AS A TAD HOSTILE, SO I WILL JUST TELL YOU, I HOPE YOU DON'T FIND THIS COUNCIL TO BE LIKE THAT.

SO NOT AT ALL THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

SO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS ABOUT A MANDATORY WAY, I BELIEVE YOU SAID THERE WILL BE A MANDATORY AGE AWAY. THAT'S CORRECT.

YES, THERE WILL BE. AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE KEEPING THE CUL DE SAC CLEAN AND THE COMMUNITY AREAS AND ALL OF THAT.

THAT'S CORRECT. YES.

OK. AND EACH OF THESE PROPOSED HOMES HAS PARKING PLANNED IN THE GARAGE OR IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR HOW MANY CARS PER HOME? THERE ARE TWO ENCLOSED SPACES IN THE GARAGE IN ADDITION TO THE DRIVEWAY.

OK, OF COURSE, PARKING TANDEM IN THE DRIVEWAY IS ALWAYS PROBLEMATIC, BUT OK.

AND BECAUSE OF THE ODD SHAPES OF THESE LOTS AND I HAVE TO SAY, I'M KIND OF IMPRESSED THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO CARVE OUT LOTS TO FIT WITH SOME OF THE ODD SHAPES THERE THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH A LOT OF ITERATIONS AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE SO, SOME OF THEM ARE ARE MORE CHALLENGED AS FAR AS YOUR LOT LINES THAN OTHERS BEING EASEMENTS.

SO, WHAT IS YOUR WORST CASE LOT WHERE YOU HAD THE LEAST EASEMENTS AND YOU WERE CLOSEST TO THE LOT LINES.

WELL, IT'S KIND OF A TRADE OFF, ACTUALLY, FUNNY ENOUGH, LOT FIVE, WHICH IS THE MOST SOUTH EASTERN LINE, IS ACTUALLY THE SKINNIEST, BUT IT'S THE LONGEST.

IT KIND OF PROVIDED THAT TRADE OFF OF THAT'LL BE THE TIGHTEST FROM A WIDTH PERSPECTIVE.

BUT AGAIN, THERE'S SOME TRADE OFF THERE BECAUSE THEY GET A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE FRONT BACK. AND THEN OTHER THAN THAT, LOTS TWO, THREE AND FOUR ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR.

AND THEN LOT ONE IS ONE OF THE LARGEST, BUT IT'S ALSO GOT PART OF THE CUL DE SAC, KIND OF CUTTING OFF THE CORNER OF IT.

AND SO WE LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE KIND OF THE BASIC FOOTPRINT THAT WE WANT TO USE. AND I THINK THAT ONE COULD BE ONE OF THE POTENTIALS THAT MAYBE GETS SET BACK A LITTLE FARTHER TO HELP TO ADDRESS THAT CURVE OF THE CUL DE SAC, BUT STILL FITS WELL WITHIN THE SETBACKS THAT WE'VE PROVIDED WITH THE FIVE FOOT SIDE SETBACKS, 20 FOOT FRONT AND ALL THAT KIND STUFF. SO YOU'RE RIGHT, THE LOT CONFIGURATION IS VERY, ALL OF THEM ARE

[01:05:02]

A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. BUT THERE WERE SOME TRADE OFFS.

SO, I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ONE, YOU KNOW, MOST RESTRICTIVE LOT LIKE, I SAID, THE ONES THAT HAVE SOME RESTRICTIONS, ALSO HAVE SOME BENEFITS IN OTHER AREAS.

OK, YEAH, I BLEW THEM UP AS LARGE AS I REASONABLY COULD, BUT I DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY DRIVE OUT THERE AND LOOK AT IT, WHICH IS ALWAYS HELPFUL TO ME.

AND I DID NOT HAVE THE TIME THIS TIME TO DO THAT.

OK, WELL, THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS.

THIS IS A PROBLEMATIC PROPERTY AND I KEEP THINKING OF WHAT ELSE COULD BE DONE WITH IT.

NOTHING'S BEEN DONE WITH IT FOR VERY MANY YEARS.

AND WHAT ELSE WHAT BETTER USE COULD IT BE PUT TO? AND I AM KIND OF AT A LOSS TO FIGURE OUT ANYTHING AT THIS POINT THAT WOULD BE FAR SUPERIOR TO WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING.

SO. ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR COMING.

THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS AND FOR PROBABLY FOR MY SUPPORT ON THIS, I WOULD WANT A COMMITMENT THAT THERE WOULD BE A CONTINUOUS FENCE EAST, WEST AND SOUTH JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE YOUR NEIGHBOR.

I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE FOR BETTER NEIGHBORLY RELATIONS.

AND WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

OK, THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND I BELIEVE MR. [INAUDIBLE] OR KIMBERLEY, YOU CAN CORRECT ME ON THIS.

AS FAR AS THE FENCING IS CONCERNED, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD NEED TO ADD TO THE DETAILED PLAN. CORRECT.

THIS IS A TWO PART ITEM, THE FIRST PART IS THE ZONING.

THE SECOND PART WOULD CONTAIN THE DETAIL WHERE WE WOULD NEED TO ADD ANY OTHER CONSIDERATIONS, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. OK, GOOD.

GOOD. WANT TO MAKE SURE.

AND IN THE QUEUE, I HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS. AND YOU'LL NEED TO UNMUTED YOURSELF.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. OK, OK, I'LL GET IT.

DO YOU OWN THAT? DO YOU OWN THAT PIECE RIGHT TO THE WEST? NO, THE ADJACENT PROPERTY IS BASICALLY A U SHAPE ON ALL THREE SIDES OF OUR LOT.

OK, OK.

AND THERE IS A SHED BUILDING ON YOUR PROPERTY.

WHAT IS THAT AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE DONE? SITTING TO NEAR THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY? THERE'S NO VERTICAL STRUCTURE ON OUR PROPERTY.

NO. IS THAT ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTY.

THE ADJACENT PROPERTY HAS THE BIG PARKING LOT ON IT AND THERE THE POINT OF THAT THAT METAL ROOF BUILDING ON IT? I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THAT IS.

OK. ALL RIGHT. AND MY LAST QUESTION IS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE METROPLEX NORTH TEXAS AREA? AND IF SO, CAN YOU SHARE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF YOUR DEVELOPMENTS WITH EITHER MS. HOPKINS OR MR. [INAUDIBLE] TO PROVIDE TO ME, PLEASE? I WILL GLADLY REACH OUT TO THE DEVELOPER AND SEE WHAT HE HAS AVAILABLE.

I'M NOT AWARE OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT HE'S GOT RIGHT NOW, SO I'D HAVE TO ASK AND THEN GET BACK TO STAFF. OK.

OK. ALL RIGHT. IF THERE'RE NONE, THEN THERE'RE, BUT WOULD YOU FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND FOR ME PLEASE. THANKS. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, SIR.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? WE'VE CLEARED THE QUEUE AND I BELIEVE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SORT OF ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS SORT OF AS WE'VE GONE HERE.

AND I DON'T HAVE I DON'T HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

I DO HAVE A FEW PEOPLE IN THE ATTENDEES.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, COUNCIL, WE HAVE CLEARED THE QUEUE.

MR. STEWART, I WILL SAY THIS I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE SINCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING. YOU KNOW, TAKING THEIR CONCERNS AND WORKING WITH STAFF TO COME UP WITH WHAT ACTUALLY IS A BETTER PLAN.

YOU KNOW, I HAD A LOT OF THOSE SAME CONCERNS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION SHARED AS FAR

[01:10:05]

AS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WERE TRYING TO GET SEVEN LOTS IN HERE I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING, YOU KNOW, ONE ACRE SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF LAND UNTIL YOU HAVE TO PUT STREETS AND INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU KNOW, ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTS IN IT AND THEN THE SETBACKS AND THEN WHAT YOU'RE LED TO BUILD WITH ONE ACRE DISAPPEARS VERY FAST.

GOES PRETTY FAST, YES, SIR.

AND SO I THINK THIS NEW REVISED PLAN CERTAINLY WORKS BETTER AND IT HAS MY SUPPORT.

AND MY ONLY ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE BUILDERS WILL BE YOU BETTER FIND FIVE NEIGHBORS WHO REALLY GET ALONG WELL WITH EACH OTHER.

TO BE TO HAVE FIVE HOUSES IN ONE DEVELOPMENT IS PRETTY RARE.

SO LET'S HOPE THEY ALL GET ALONG VERY WELL.

IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

EVERYBODY'S FRIENDS. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, WITH THAT, IF THERE IS ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

OBVIOUSLY, MR. NICKERSON IS NOT HERE TO MAKE THAT MOTION.

SO THE FIELD IS OPEN, AS THEY SAY.

DON'T EVERYBODY JUMP IN AT ONCE? COUNCIL LADY MORRIS.

MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE APPLICATION AS PRESENTED WITH THE MODIFICATION, WHICH I GUESS WILL BE IN THE NEXT SECTION OF REQUIRING.

5A IS THE ZONING.

JUST ZONING, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE IT AS PRESENTED.

AND OK, I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL LADY MORRIS AND A SECOND BY DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM VERA TO APPROVE ITEM FIVE A AS PRESENTED.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, COUNCIL PLEASE VOTE.

THANK YOU. THAT ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

AND NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM FIVE, B, WHICH IS CONSIDERED A DETAILED PLAN REQUEST BY

[5B. Consider a Detail Plan request by Development Engineering Consultants, LLC to construct five (5) single-family detached homes at 4926 Locust Grove Road in District 3. ]

DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC TO CONSTRUCT FIVE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AT FORTY NINE TWENTY SIX LOCUST GROVE ROAD IN DISTRICT THREE.

THIS IS THE DETAILED PLAN THAT WILL GO WITH THE ZONING CHANGE WE JUST APPROVED.

AND AGAIN, I'M OPEN FOR A MOTION.

COUNCIL LADY MORRIS, YOU'RE IN THE QUEUE AND YOUR MIC IS OPEN I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE DETAILED PLAN AS PRESENTED WITH THE MODIFICATION OF REQUIRING A FENCE ON THE EAST, WEST AND SOUTH CONTINUOUSLY. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNSEL LADY MORRIS AND A SECOND BY DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM VERA TO APPROVE THE DETAILED PLAN WITH THE ADDITION OF THE ADDITIONAL FENCING AND COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. CAN WE ALSO HAVE PART OF THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT MAKE SURE THAT SIDEWALK CONNECTION IS PART OF IT? I SEE. SORRY, I'M TRYING TO WRITE ALL THIS.

THE MAKER OF MOTION, HAVE YOU HEARD THE SUGGESTION? I AGREE. AND SO IT WOULD BE WITH THE ADDITION OF THE FENCING AND THE SIDEWALK AGREEMENT AS AGREED TO BY THE APPLICANT.

AND I THINK THE SECOND CONCURS.

THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN HEDRICK.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.

IF NOT, PLEASE VOTE.

AND THAT ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE. THANK YOU, SIR, APPRECIATE THE WORK.
