THERE IS A PENDING AN ADDITIONAL PENDING MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT THAT THIS APPLICANT IS WORKING WITH TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE WEST OVER TO FIRE WHEEL PARKWAY AND TO THE NORTHWEST OF THIS IS
[00:25:01]
AN EXISTING NEWLY CONSTRUCTED MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. AND YOU CAN SEE GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE TO THE SOUTH.

HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON THE NORTHWEST OR EXCUSE ME ON THE TOP LEFT IS CURRENTLY VACANT.MHM THIS PHOTO ON THE BOTTOM LEFT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD ON TO THE SOUTH OF GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE.
HERE'S THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN. THIS WOULD CONSIST OF TWO MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS OUTLINED AH, WITH THESE COLORS HERE. IT WOULD AGAIN INCLUDE 298 MULTI FAMILY UNITS, UM, THE BUILDINGS WOULD BE FOUR AND FIVE STORIES IN HEIGHT OR FOUR AND FIVE STORIES IN HEIGHT AND MAXIMUM OF 65 FT IN HEIGHT. UM, THE. PROPOSAL COMPLIES WITH THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE COVERED PARKING DEVIATION , WHICH WE'LL GET TO HERE IN A FEW MINUTES. HERE IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT COMPLIES WITH THE LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS OF THE GDC. THE APPLICANT IS INCLUDING SWIMMING POOL WITH COVERAGE, SEATING, POCKET PARKS AND A NON SITE DOG PARK. AS PART OF THE AMENITY PACKAGE AS WELL AS A CLUBHOUSE. AND THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING A CONNECTION THE ABILITY TO CONNECT TO A FUTURE TRAIL PER DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT. FOR THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS OF THE SITE. MOSTLY IN URBAN STYLE, UM, MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT OF SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE PREVIOUS ONES APPROVED IN THIS AREA. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING, REQUESTING THREE PARTICULAR DEVIATIONS MENTIONED COVERED PARKING. THE G D. C REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 50% OF THE PROVIDED COVERED PARKING TO, UM UH, BE COVERED, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH CARPORTS OR GARAGES. SO PER THE CALCULATION A TOTAL OF FOUR EXCUSE ME. 246 PARKING SPACES SHOULD BE COVERED IN THE SITE PLAN SHOWS 125. COVERED SPACES. UM PER THE APPLICANT AND THEIR EXPERIENCE FROM PREVIOUS MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPED DEVELOPMENTS THAT THEY HAVE DEVELOPED. WHEN COVERED PARKING IS MORE THAN 25% OF THE AVAILABLE AVAILABLE PARKING SPACES. THE ADDITIONAL SPACES ARE NOT LEAST BY RESIDENTS OF THE APPLICANT IS CONCERNED. THAT MANY OF THOSE COVERED SPACES WOULD GO AND USED BUILDING, HEIGHT AND DENSITY. THESE HAVE BEEN FAIRLY COMMON DEVIATION REQUESTS WITH SOME OF THE MORE MODERN AND URBAN STYLE. MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS. UM THE G D . C MAXIMUM IS 44 40 FT. BUILDING HEIGHT FOR MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 65 THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE UP TO FIVE STORIES.
AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE FIVE STORY ELEVATIONS WOULD BE FACING THE INTERIOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND DENSITY. THE MULTI FAMILY MAXIMUM IS 18 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE, AND THE PROPOSAL IS APPROXIMATELY 29 UNITS PER ACRE. UM THE ANALYSIS HERE INCLUDES THAT. THERE'S SIGNIFICANT SITE CHALLENGES, WHICH INCLUDE THE IRREGULAR SHAPED PARCEL FLOODPLAIN AND TOPOGRAPHICAL CHANGES. BUT IN ADDITION, THE DENSITY MAY SUPPORT THE NEARBY FIRE WHEEL TOWN CENTER. STATS RECOMMENDATION HAS APPROVAL OF THEIR QUEST. BOTH THE PD AMENDMENT AND THE DETAILED PLAN, HOWEVER, STAFF RECOMMENDS ADDITIONAL COVERED PARKING BE PROVIDED OR AS AN ALTERNATIVE IDEA. ADDITIONAL LARGE CANOPY TREES MAY BE PLANTED WITHIN THE PARKING AREAS TO PROVIDE MORE SHADE. THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING MORE PARKING OVERALL PARKING SPACES THAN REQUIRED SO PERHAPS SOME COULD BE USED FOR TREE PLANTING PURPOSES, AND THE PLANE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WITH THE 60 0 VOTE, AND THAT WAS APPROVAL AS PRESENTED BY THE APPLICANT.

[00:30:06]
ANALYSIS SESSION SECTION OF THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, PLEASE. ABSOLUTELY SO AGAIN AS A REMINDER THE GDC REQUIREMENT IS AT LEAST 50% OF THE PARKING SHALL BE COVERED. THE APPLICANT IS, UM, NOT QUITE PROVIDING THAT AMOUNT REQUIRED PROVIDING 125. YEAH, 125 COVERED SPACES.THEY'RE CONCERNED THAT IF THEY PROVIDE MUCH MORE THAN THAT THAN IT WOULD LEAD TO, UM, UNUSED COVERED SPACES AND THEIR EXPERIENCE. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE BASIS OF TO TRY TO ADHERE TO THE SPIRIT OF THE G. D. C COURSE. SUMMERS IN TEXAS ARE VERY HOT ASSOCIATED PARKING IS IT'S A GOOD THING TO HAVE AVAILABLE. WOULD BE EITHER TO, UM ASK THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE MORE COVERED, PARKING OR AS AN ALTERNATIVE IDEAS SINCE THEY ARE PROVIDING MORE PARKING THAN REQUIRED OVERALL PARKING SPACES ON THE SITE TO PLANT ADDITIONAL LARGE CANOPY TREES. AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CARPORTS AND THE LIKE TO PROVIDE A BIT MORE SHADE FOR VEHICLES. OKAY AND, AS ANALYSIS SAID, IS PROUD USAGE, AND THAT'S THE COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS SECTION. USUALLY AN INDICATOR. OF. A VARIANCE TO THE GDC HAD NOT SEEN THAT BEFORE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE COMMENTS IN THE ANALYSIS BOX OVER THERE. YES, SIR. WE WERE PROVIDING THE JUSTIFICATION REALLY IS PROBABLY A BETTER WORD. YES ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT THAT IS THEIR, UM, THEIR JUSTIFICATION OR TESTIMONY AS AS A REASON FOR THE DEVIATION REQUEST. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THAT UM, LANGUAGES IS FROM OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANKS, SIR. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. THANK YOU, MADAM SECRETARY. DO WE HAVE APPLICANT ON THIS ITEM? THE FIRST SPEAKER IS GRIFFIN.

I LIVE IN DALLAS, TEXAS AT 6433 WOODLAND DRIVE. UM AND WE OFFICE IN ADDISON, UM, ACROSS FROM THE MALL. UM I'LL SAVE SOME OF THIS PRESENTATION. MR GARIN HIT ON A NUMBER OF OUR THINGS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO INFORM YOU ALL OF WHO WE ARE , AS, UH OWNERS AND OPERATORS AS WELL. THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENTS WE AIM TO BUILD, OWN AND OPERATE. UM AND THEN SOME SOME ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND AND BELIEF AS TO WHY WE I THINK THIS SITE AND PARTICULARS STRONG CANDIDATE FROM MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. QUICKLY ON TRUE MONT WERE PRIVATELY HELD ALL OF OUR PROJECTS WE DO WITH OURSELVES AND OUR AFFILIATES, SO WE VIEW THEM. WE'RE NOT RAISING OUTSIDE MONEY OR USING OUR OWN INVESTMENT DOLLARS. WE AIM TO HOLD PROJECTS FOR THE LONG TERM.
WE DO NOT CUT CORNERS. WE WORK WITH WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE THE BEST DESIGN TEAMS IN THE AREA FROM ARCHITECTS, CIVIL ENGINEERS. INTERIOR DESIGN ETCETERA ARE CIVIL ENGINEER AND ARCHITECT ARE HERE TONIGHT. TO ANSWER ANY, UM, MAYBE NUANCED OR DETAILED QUESTIONS. YOU ALL MAY HAVE UM WE WERE FOUNDED OUT OF THE DESIRE. WE ORIGINALLY BUYING MULTI FAMILY, BUT WE ASPIRED TO BUILD COMMUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS TO LIVE WORK AND PLAY AND FOR THEM TO RENT AT ATTAINABLE PRICE POINTS. WE BELIEVE WERE VERY STRONG IN THAT ASPECT. WE THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT OUR DESIGNS HOW IT CONFORMS TO COMMUNITIES. UM AND WE BELIEVE WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF ENHANCE THIS AREA THROUGH OUR DETAILED PLAN AND WORKING ALONGSIDE OF STAFF. UM OUR PARTNERSHIP OWNS AND OPERATES NORTH OF 20,000 UNITS WITH AH STERLING MULTI FAMILY THEY'VE HISTORICALLY HELD THEIR MULTI FAMILY COMMUNITIES. UM ARE CONSTRUCTION TEAM HAS BUILT, UH WELL OVER 30,000 UNITS. UM AND OUR PEOPLE ARE OUR BUSINESS. WE BELIEVE FIRMLY IN THAT. WE BELIEVE THAT WORKING ALONGSIDE MUNICIPALITIES AND NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS TO DEVELOP. ATTRACTIVE PROPERTIES FOR THE AREA FOR US TO ENJOY THE CITY TO ENJOY AND ULTIMATELY, FUTURE PERSPECTIVE. RESIDENCES IS
[00:35:04]
IMPORTANT. TRUE MONT CURRENTLY HAS 900 PLUS UNITS UNDER DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION THROUGHOUT THE METROPLEX. THIS WOULD PUT US AROUND 1200. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE IN PHOENIX SMALL OFFICE OUT IN PHOENIX AS WELL. UM MR GARIN HIT ON HIT ON MOST OF THIS, SO I WOULD JUST OUT IT'S BEEN UNDER, UH, MR MR DYER AND HIS WIFE PENNY FOR THE LAST 23 YEARS. UM AGAIN, MR. MR CARON HIT ON THIS. THE REGIONAL CENTER THAT WE'RE IN. UM THAT ITS INTENTION WAS TO FACILITATE RESIDENTIAL SUPPORTING COMPONENTS TO MIXED USE OF RETAIL SERVICES, ENTERTAINMENT AND EMPLOYMENT. UM PD 0353 OVERLAYS THE AREAS, WE SAID, I THINK IT WILL ALSO BE IMPORTANT TO NOTE PD 18 33 THAT'S ADJACENT TO US. UM. AND ULTIMATELY, WE BELIEVE FIRMLY THAT THE WALK ABILITY THAT WE'RE CREATING THE RESIDENTS THAT WE'RE BRINGING TO THE AREA. WELL ONLY AGAIN HELP FIRE REAL TOWN CENTER CONTINUED TO FLOURISH. UM CAN OUR RESIDENTS WE BELIEVE WILL SUPPORT THAT. WHEN PD 18 33 WAS CREATED, UM AND THEY WERE ALSO P 0353 THEIR APARTMENTS AS PART OF THAT, UM, THAT HELPED TOWN CENTER FLOURISH. THERE'S. REALLY NO OTHER LOGICAL OR PRACTICAL USE FOR THIS PARCEL OUTSIDE OF MULTI FAMILY IN OUR OPINION. IT'S KIND OF TUCKED AWAY IN THE BACK. IT'S RIGHT HERE. UM AND THERE'S IN OUR OPINION, PLENTY OF UNDEVELOPED COMMERCIAL LAND THAT FIREWALL TOWN CENTER CAN STILL ABSORB AND NAMELY THIS CORNER PARCEL AS WELL. THERE'S ALSO CONFINED TO THAT USE. AND THEN BEYOND THAT, WE BELIEVE ARE DEVELOPMENT WILL INCREASE THE VALUE OF OUR NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES LAND AS WELL. FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO NAME A FEW OF THE NEIGHBORING. UH RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND GARLAND AND THEN THE ONE LENS AT THE STATION TAXI AS WELL. ALL HAVE DONE VERY, VERY WELL IN TERMS OF THEIR OCCUPANCY. THEIR RENTAL RATES, UM, CAN GO DOWN THE LIST HERE, BUT BOTTOM LINE IS THEY'RE ALL DOING WELL. IT SHOWS DEMAND IN THE AREA. UM AND WE BELIEVE AGAIN, WE CAN ATTRACT QUALITY RESIDENTS, QUALITY JOBS AND CONTINUE TO FURTHER THE MOMENTUM THAT YOU GUYS ARE SEEING AND FEELING. UM THERE WERE REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT TO PD 0353 TO CREATE PD 22 03033 DEVIATIONS AS MR GUERIN HIT ON OUR WITH DENSITY AND BUILDING HEIGHT, WHICH ARE VERY COMMON. AS WE SEE IN TODAY'S DEVELOPMENT WORLD. AND THEN THE DECREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF COVERED PARKING. UM AS WELL. ALL OTHER REMAINING ITEMS ARE CONFORMING WITH, UH, THE G D. C STANDARDS. I MENTIONED PD 18 33 THAT IS GOVERNS THIS AREA HERE. THIS IS FIRE WHEEL TOWN SENT HER FIREWALL PARKWAY, THE PUBLIC THOROUGHFARE. ALL THIS TO THE WEST AS FAR WELL TOWN CENTER UNDER 0353. PD 18 33 GOVERNS THIS AREA HERE. WHICH WAS. WHEN IT WAS CREATED AND 2019 MEANT TO SUPPORT FIRE WHEEL TOWN CENTER.UM ARE THIS PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW HERE WAS NOT CONSIDERED AS PART OF THAT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ACCESS. BUT 18 33 ALLOWS FOR 1800 MULTI FAMILY UNITS. AS MR GARIN SAID, THIS IS THIS PROJECT'S ALREADY DEVELOPED. UM THIS ONE IS UNDER REVIEW AND THE DETAILED PLAN.
AND THIS ONE WAS APPROVED BACK IN, UH, DECEMBER WITH WOOD PARTNERS. BOTTOM LINE. THAT'S ALL THE DEVELOPMENT THAT CAN HAPPEN UNDER 18 33 FOR MULTI FAMILY AND THAT'S ABOUT 900. TWO UNITS COMBINED, LEAVING 898 WITH THE ORIGINAL INTENTION OF 18 33. PD 18 33. IF OUR DEVELOPMENT WERE CONSIDERED UH, THUMBS UP TONIGHT. YOU KNOW, THERE WOULD STILL BE 600. REMAINING UNITS.
OUR GOAL IS TO START THE PROJECT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. UM THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD HOLD US UP WOULD BE THE ACCESS ROAD THAT NEEDS TO BE BUILT TO OUR PROPERTY. THAT WE'RE WORKING
[00:40:02]
WITH THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS ON UM, THE PROJECT ITSELF AND OVERVIEW OF IT. IT'S A CLASS A DEVELOPMENT THROUGH AND THROUGH. IT'S A COMBINATION OF 12 AND THREE BEDROOMS. THIS IS A AH, AN ACTUAL RENDERING OF THE PROPERTY. MR GARIN SHOWED ELEVATIONS BUT THIS IS THE INTERIOR COURTYARD LOOKING OUT. OVER THE GREEN SPACE. WE BELIEVE WE HAVE STRONG VIEWS OF THAT WE WORKED TO DO THAT. WE WORKED WITH THE GRADE OF THE SITE, WHICH WAS REALLY THE DRIVING POINT BEHIND OUR DEVIATION REQUEST FOR HEIGHT. ALL OF THE FIVE STORY COMPONENTS. IT'S ACTUALLY A FOUR OR FIVE SPLIT THE INTERIOR OF THE PROJECT SEES THE FIVE STORIES AND THE FROM GEORGE BUSH AND FIREWALL TOWN CENTER. YOU'LL SEE FOUR STORIES. UM OUR AMENITIES WE BELIEVE ARE VERY STRONG AGAIN. WE ASPIRED TO UTILIZE OUTDOOR OPEN GREEN SPACE AS MUCH AS WE CAN. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED THE CITY AND EASEMENT. THROUGH OUR PROPERTY TO, UM UH, GET THE WALKING TRAIL FROM ALL THE WAY FROM FIRE WHEEL PARKWAY TO THE OPEN GREEN SPACE TO OUR NORTH, THE UNDEVELOPED DOUBLE OPEN GREEN SPACE TO OUR NORTH. AND TO OUR EAST AND WE'D LOVE TO PARTICIPATE, HOWEVER, FOR MORE WE CAN TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. SOME MORE RENDERINGS. UM WE BELIEVE IN APARTMENTS IN GENERAL ARE NON TRANSIENT PEOPLE THAT COMPARED TO A COMMERCIAL HOTEL, USE PEOPLE THAT CARE AND INVEST IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. UM I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT CRS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, OUR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY, THEY MANAGED OVER 50,000 UNITS.UM WE'VE GOT A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM AND THEIR THEIR EQUALITY GROUP. UM SITE PLAN WE HAVE LARGELY TOUCHED ON I CAN GET INTO MORE DETAIL DURING QUESTIONS, BUT THE ESSENCE OF TIME AND INTEREST OF TIME. THERE'S A COUPLE OF DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS. WE HAD TRAFFICKED IMPACT ANALYSIS DONE WITH OUR NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNER. THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS. UM. NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNER. ONE VOICED OPPOSITION DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. UM WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH ENGINEERING AND CITY STAFF DURING THE DETAILED PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS. EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AS ADEQUATE CAPACITY ARE PROPOSED.
DEVELOPMENT HAS LESS THAN POINT. OH 2% OF THE ENTIRE REALITY CREEK WATERSHED. UM AND CITIES ENGINEERING'S RECOMMENDATION. THAT IT WILL NOT CAUSE ADVERSE IMPACTS. FUTURE LAND USE ALSO DEDICATES THIS AREA TO BE DEVELOPABLE IN OUR PHASE ONE ENVIRONMENTAL CAME BACK AS CLEAN. AND THEN ACCESS AS WE MENTIONED. AND LASTLY, WE MET WITH COUNCIL MEMBER BASS. UH MR X AND MR GARIN EARLY ON TO OBTAIN THEIR THOUGHTS ALMOST A YEAR AGO ON THE AREA. WE MOVED FORWARD UNDER SOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS . WE'VE RECEIVED UNANIMOUS APPROVAL AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU GUYS TONIGHT. VERY GOOD THERE SOME OTHER PROJECTS IN THE AREA. AND THESE ARE THE FOUR RENDERINGS OF THE PROJECT. OKAY? I BELIEVE WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS LINED UP FOR YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. UH QUESTION. WANT TO HAVE ADDRESSING THE RESPONSE THAT WE RECEIVED OUR U, IMPACTING ANY WETLANDS OR ANY FLOODPLAIN WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE NOT, UM THIS MAP HERE ACTUALLY OUTLINES UM, THE. OUR SITE HERE. UM THIS IS THE WETLANDS, UM, DESCRIBED IN THAT OPPOSITION. THE SURROUNDING AREA IS ALL FLOODPLAIN, BUT OUR LAND ITSELF IS THERE'S NO FLOODPLAIN. ACTUALLY ON THIS PROPERTY. I THINK MAYBE THIS VERY NORTHERN TIP IS THE 500 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN. BUT THERE'S NO BUILDINGS THERE. THERE'S NO ROADS THERE. IT'S GOING TO BE A POCKET PARK ON THE PROPERTY, OKAY? UM. AND YOU SAID THERE'S NO IMPACT FROM DEVELOPMENT ON DOWNSTREAM, NO ADVERSE IMPACTS AT ALL FROM YOUR WATER AND I MIGHT BE HAPPY TO START MY CIVIL ENGINEERING HERE TO SPEAK MORE, I GUESS DETAILED ON THAT, BUT YEAH, ARE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ACCOUNTS FOR LESS THAN 0.2% OF THE ENTIRE REALITY CREEK WATERSHED. CITY ENGINEERING RECOMMENDED THE DESIGN WILL NOT CAUSE ADVERSE IMPACTS. UM, BUT MIKE MICHAEL MORRIS HERE WITH GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND I BELIEVE YOU HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. I HAVE NOT APOLOGIZE TO GET SPEAKER CARD FROM YOU BEFORE YOU BEFORE BEFORE YOU LEAVE. GOOD EVENING. MIKE MOORE, HARRIS COVER SMITH FOR 51 SOUTH MAIN FORT WORTH. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCILORS COUNCILOR HENDRIX. UM YOU KNOW, WE'RE
[00:45:01]
WE'RE WORKING WITH ENGINEERING STAFF. THE INTENT IS NO NO DOWNSTREAM IMPACTS. RESERVOIR IS PRETTY CLOSE BY. WE'LL OBVIOUSLY GET INTO DETAILED ANALYSIS, BUT WE DID PRELIMINARY DREAMS, REPORTS PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING WITH THOSE GUYS AND WE CONTINUE TO KIND OF WORK WITH THEM. WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF AH! WETLANDS. DOWN THERE IS KIND OF BOGGY THE FLOODPLAIN IS RIGHT KIND OF IT. IT WRAPS RIGHT AROUND THAT PROPERTY IS PROPERTY IS KIND OF A POINT. SO WE'RE BRINGING UP WALLS BASICALLY RIGHT AT THE PROPERTY LINES TRAINING OUT OF FLOODPLAIN. WE DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH HEMA OR 44 PERMITTING. UM IF WE DO NEED TO GET DOWN THERE WE WOULD. WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY DEAL WITH ANY FOUR OR FOUR CORE BURNING THAT WE NEEDED TO. BUT THAT'S GENERALLY NOT THE INTENT RIGHT NOW. AND HAVE YOU MAPPED THE WETLANDS. IT'S A STUDIED FLOODPLAIN, SO THE CITY WAS ABLE TO ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE THREE D MODEL FOR THE FLOODPLAIN ITSELF, AND WE WORKED WITH HIM ON ON THE ELEVATION OF THE FLOODPLAIN, AND WE HAVE ENOUGH SURVEY DOWN. IN YOU KNOW INTO THAT AREA TO UNDERSTAND THE ELEVATIONS RELATED TO THAT AND KIND OF TIED ALTOGETHER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. COUNCILOR BASS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. HEY, GRIFFIN. JUST A COUPLE THINGS REAL QUICK ONE. COULD YOU SHOW US HOW IT'S GOING TO TIE INTO OUR FUTURE PARKS AND TRAILS PLAN AND THEN? AFTER THAT, TO ELECT TO DISCUSS THE COVERED PARKING. AS THIS. THIS HIGHLIGHTED AREA HERE IS THAT EASEMENT THAT WE ARE DEDICATING TO THE CITY THIS WHOLE AREA AND WORKING WITH PARKS DEPARTMENT AND ENGINEERING. WE'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHERE THAT POINT OF ACCESS IS WHERE THEY WANT THE POINT OF ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY. SO WE'VE WE'VE DEDICATED REALLY? ALL OF THIS, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, CAN BE DEDICATED. BUT THEY SAID THIS WAS ADEQUATE. BUT THE INTENTION IS THIS IS THE ACCESS ROAD RIGHT HERE. THAT CONTINUES TO GO ON TO FIRE WHEEL PARKWAY. UH THERE'S A WALKING TRAIL BEING PROVIDED BY THE ADJACENT DEVELOPERS LEON CAPITAL AND THEN THAT SIDEWALK AND WALKING TRAIL CONTINUES HERE THROUGH OUR PROPERTY OUR GATES TO OUR PROPERTY, ACTUALLY, DON'T START UNTIL HERE. AH, SO IT THIS AREA HERE AND REALLY ALL OF THIS WE THE DOG PARK WAS UP HERE. I MOVED IT TO HERE. AN INTEREST OF THIS REALLY AREA BECOMING PUBLIC ACCESS. SO THERE'S NOTHING RESTRICTING IT IN TERMS OF OKAY . OKAY. THANK YOU. AND, UM COULD YOU ADDRESS THE REDUCTION AND COVERED PLACES. UM YEAH, IT'S MOSTLY, UH, REALLY ARE MAN. I SAID OUR MANAGEMENT COMPANY MANAGES PRETTY STRONG PORTFOLIO OF UNITS, PARTICULARLY HERE AND TEXAS. UM THEY HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THEIR PROJECTS REALLY BEEN ABLE TO ABSORB MORE THAN 25% IT'S GENERALLY A SUPPLY AND DEMAND THING. AND, UM, REALLY THE INTEREST OF US IS, UM, NUMBER ONE. I PERSONALLY I DON'T REALLY LOVE CARPORTS AND COVERED PARKING. I THINK THEY AGE RELATIVELY QUICKLY. I GENERALLY LIKE TO HIDE THEM ON THE PROPERTY. IF WE HAVE THEM. I BELIEVE THAT BUILDING ELEVATION IN THE ARCHITECTURE IS MUCH MORE APPEALING TO SEE FROM A CURB STANDPOINT. AH! AND WHEN WE JUST SO THERE'S THAT AND THEN BELIEVE IT'S UNNECESSARY INVESTMENT THAT WON'T BE UTILIZED BY THE OR AT LEAST. RESIDENTS WOULDN'T BE INTERESTED IN PAYING FOR IT AT A CERTAIN TIPPING POINT. OKAY? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANKS SIR, AND JUST CLARIFIED THE COVERED PARKING IS PART OF THE LEAST. AGREEMENT. IT'S NOT FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. THAT'S CORRECT. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO ACTUALLY SIGN UP FOR THAT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH FOR PAYING FOR THAT, OKAY? IT'S AN OPTION RENTERS CAN INTO TO PAY. $100 A MONTH FOR RIGHT. AND WE HAVE A TUCK UNDER GARAGES AND TO BOTH BUILDINGS AND THEN SOME COVERED PARKING WITH CARPORTS AS WELL. OKAY, VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I DON'T SEE ANY MADAM SECRETARY. I BELIEVE YOU SAID WE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS MICHAEL DYER AND LOWEST PENNY DIALER.

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO IT. AND THEN THEY CAME IN PUT BUSHY UNDER BUILT THEM ALL. AND FROM THAT WE HAD PHIL AND MADE IT INTO THE REALLY NICE PROPERTY IS NOW THE CITY, HOWEVER, REQUIRED WHEN THE LAST PILL WAS DONE, THAT IT HAD THIS VERY GRADUAL SLOPE FOREVER.

[00:55:18]
THAT WILL MOVE US ON TO OUR NEXT CASE, WHICH ALSO HAS TWO PARTS. 13 D CONSIDER HIS OWN A REQUEST BY HEART GOGGLE ER AND ASSOCIATES FOR GARLAND FIRE STATION. THE SITE IS LOCATED 64 50 NORTH PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE IN DISTRICT ONE. IT ALSO HAS A SECOND PART 13 E, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER A DETAILED PLAN. SAME APPLICANT, SAME ADDRESS. MARY COUNCIL. THANK YOU. THIS IS A PROPOSAL FOR A GARLAND FIRE STATION. FIRE STATION NUMBER SIX SPECIFICALLY.AN ALLOCATION OF 64 50, NORTH PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE. THE PROPERTY OWNER IS THE CITY OF GARLAND. THE ACREAGE OF THE SITE IS ABOUT 2.7 ACRES, AND IT IS ZONED WITH NPD 20-17, WHICH DOES REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE DETAILED PLAN WITHIN THIS, UH WITHIN THIS, P D. AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DEVIATION REQUESTS ALONG WITH THAT WHICH WILL GO OVER. BUT HERE IS THE GENERAL LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. HOW LONG GEORGE BUSH. AND MORE SPECIFICALLY SHOWN HERE. UM THE SITE IS CURRENTLY VACANT AND HAS ACCESS ALONG GEORGE BUSH TO THE WEST AND NORTH ARE A EXISTING PEDIATRIC CLINIC AND A MONASTERY SCHOOL. AND IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST IS A VACANT SITE. BUT YOU MAY RECALL IN A RECENT MEETING A SELF STORAGE WITH RETAIL AND OFFICE PROPOSAL WAS APPROVED FOR THIS SITE. AND THEN FURTHER FURTHER TO THE EAST IS THE STRIKE IN REAL DEVELOPMENT CLOSER TO HOLFORD ROAD ACROSS CAMPBELL ROAD AS EXISTING MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF GEORGE BUSH IS AN EXISTING ANOTHER EXISTING MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITH SOME, UM COMMERCIAL USES AS WELL. THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS AREA AND INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS BUSINESS. AND THIS PROPOSAL WOULD SUPPORT THE AREA FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES. UM HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY SHOWN HERE ON THE LEFT. WE'VE GOT THE BILL GARLAND SIGN. OUT THERE SHOWING THE FUTURE HOME OF GARLAND STATION. FIRE STATION NUMBER SIX. AND SOME OTHER PHOTOS OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. HERE'S THE SITE PLAN. THE LARGER BUILDING SHOWN HERE IS THE ACTUAL FIRE STATION AND THERE'S A SMALLER BUILDING PROPOSED BACK HERE, WHICH WOULD BE A FITNESS CENTER. IT WOULD HAVE TO DRIVEWAYS ALONG THE GEORGE BUSH FRONTAGE ROAD. AND THE SITE COMPLIES SITE PLAN COMPLIES WITH THE GDC AND APPLICABLE PD REQUIREMENTS THERE A COUPLE OF DEVIATION REQUEST WHICH WILL OVER HERE IN A LITTLE BIT. HERE'S THE LANDSCAPE PLAN OVERLAID ON THE SITE PLAN. UM IT MEETS THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS, JUST WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE AMOUNT OF THE WRONG NUMBER OF SHRUBS BEING PROVIDED. THEY FALL A LITTLE BIT SHORT BECAUSE THE REQUEST IS TO CLUSTER THE MAJORITY OF THE TREES AND THE SHRUBS TO OVER HERE TO THE EAST AND OVER HERE TO THE WEST IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN GOOD VISIBILITY HERE BETWEEN THE DRIVEWAYS GOOD VISIBILITY TO AND FROM THE FIRE STATION. HOWEVER THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING LARGER SIZE SHRUBS AND AGAIN TO KIND OF CLUSTER THEM TO PROVIDE GOOD AREAS OF LANDSCAPING. YEAH THE BUILDING BUILDING ELEVATIONS. THIS IS FOR THE FIRE STATION BUILDING. AND ALSO THE FIRE STATION BUILDING. AND THIS IS FOR THE SMALL FITNESS CENTER BUILDING. IT COMPLIES WITH ALL G, D. C AND PLANE DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS. SO I MENTIONED ONE OF THE DEVIATION REQUEST BEING THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER. IT JUST HAS TO DO WITH THE NUMBER OF SHRUBS BEING PROVIDED TO KIND OF CLUSTER THEM AND MAINTAIN SOME VISIBILITY BETWEEN THE DRIVEWAYS. THE OTHER IS ACTUALLY A PD REQUIREMENT, WHICH HAS A GROUND FLOOR COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENT WITHIN 300 FT. OF THE GEORGE BUSH FRONTAGE THAT'S STILL ACCOMMODATE MIXED USE. DEVELOPMENTS HAVING KIND OF GROUND FLOOR READY. RETAIL SO WITH THE FIRE STATION DOESN'T QUITE APPLY TO THAT. SO THAT'S TECHNICALLY DEVIATION BUT JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT SO IN SUMMARY, THE FIRE STATION IS CONSIDERED ALLOWED BY RIGHT, HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING DEVIATIONS FROM THE GROUND FLOOR COMMERCIAL ZONE.
REQUIREMENT IN PD 20-17, AS WELL AS THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENT FROM THE GDC. IN ADDITION, AS A REMINDER OF PD IS REQUIRED THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS PER THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. AND THE PLANE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL. THAT WAS WITH THE 5 TO 1 VOTE. AND MAYOR. WE MAILED OUT 15 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE, AND WE RECEIVED JUST TWO RESPONSES IN BOTH OF THOSE WERE
[01:00:01]

YOU MAY RECALL WE MET WITH COUNCIL PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE OF THIS PROPERTY. AND LET HER INTENT TO BE KNOWN. THE. SUBJECT PROPERTY BEING ON THE SERVICE ROAD. WE WANTED TO GET AS CLOSE AS WE COULD TO CAMPBELL ROAD SO WE COULD HAVE TURNAROUND ACCESS RIGHT THERE. WE'RE TRYING TO SUPPORT LOWER RESPONSE TIMES IN THE FAR NORTHWEST CORNER OF TOWN WHERE WE IDENTIFIED SOME GAPS AND SERVICE LEVEL, SO THIS STATION WILL SERVICE WELL AT THIS NEW LOCATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHIEF. THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND. YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED WITH BEING BASICALLY BEING ON THE SERVICE ROAD AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE STATION BEING ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH THAT AREA WE ACTUALLY SEE THAT IS GOOD ACCESS TO BE ON GEORGE BUSH LIKE THAT. IT WILL ALLOW US TO GO BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST, IF YOU WILL, UM, WE'RE FROM FROM THE CITY LIMITS THE FIRE WHEEL AREA. THE FIRE WORLD HOUSING AREAS WITH THE GOLF COURSE KIND OF IN THE CENTER. IT CREATES A SITUATION WHERE STATION 10 HAS TO GO AROUND TO GET TO THE WEST SIDE OF FIRE. WILL THIS STATION WILL BE WELL SERVED TO EXPAND UP IN THERE AS WELL? VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. MADAM SPEAKER. DO WE HAVE ANY MADAM SPEAKER, MADAM SECRETARY I DO NOT HAVE ANY SPEAKERS REGISTERED ON FOR THE SIDE OF I THINK A LONG WEEK MR MAYOR HAS THE LONGEST TUESDAY.

IT IS WITHIN AN OVERALL SHOPPING CENTER AND, OF COURSE IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH AS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN SF 10 AT ITS NEAREST POINT FROM THE BUILDING TO THE NEAREST RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINE IS ABOUT 50 FT.

THEY'RE GOING AROUND AND CHECK, BUT THEY SHOULDN'T BE. YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, SHOULDN'T BE ANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS. THAT'S WHAT I TOLD HIM AND THEY'RE ALSO TOLD HIM THAT IF HE HAS ANY CONCERNS, YOU KNOW, I GAVE HIM MY TELEPHONE NUMBER YOU CAN COME BY.

THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB AND THEN JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THERE FOR 12 YEARS AND THEN ACTUALLY, MY DAD AND I. WE WERE AT THE E G STREET ON GARLAND WITH MR HORFORD WHEN HE WAS A CITY COUNCIL AND I THINK IN 45 YEARS AGO, WE STAYED IN IRELAND FOR LIKE 2030 YEARS. SO WHEN I NEVER LEFT THE GARLAND I LOVE GARLAND AND I'M HAPPY I'M HERE AND HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, I'M RETIRED, BUT HOPEFULLY I CAN DIE. YOU KNOW, DOING THIS BUSINESS AND PASS IT ON TO MY KIDS?

SEE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? CANCELATION, MORRIS THANK YOU, UM. SO I DID WATCH THE PLAN COMMISSION AND I SAW THE GENTLEMAN. IT WAS THERE WITH TWO OTHER FAMILIES AND HE WAS
[01:15:02]
TRANSLATING BECAUSE THEY WERE VIETNAMESE. UH AND, UM HE. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEE ANY ANY COMPLAINTS AND YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE HAVEN'T BEEN FORMAL NOTE NOISE COMPLAINTS. UM AND HE WAS SAYING HE HADN'T REALIZED WHO TO TALK TO UNTIL HE GOT THE NOTIFICATION. THAT BASICALLY SAID. HERE'S HOW TO CONTACT US. SO UM, I I'VE WONDERED HOW OPEN YOU WOULD BE TO, UM REDUCING YOUR HOURS BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THE BETWEEN ONE AND TWO A.M. UM WITH MOST OF WHAT THE CONCERN WAS FROM THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE AND THE VIBRATION, SO THAT WOULD , UM HAVE YOU GONE AND TALKED TO THEM SPECIFICALLY, THE PLAN COMMISSION WITH WANTING TO PUT THIS ON HOLD AND DEMAND A SOUND STUDY AS YOU HEARD. AND SO INSTEAD BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY GOT YOUR EXISTING AS QP ALREADY REQUIRES NOISE MITIGATION. AND SAYS THAT THE APPLICANT MUST ADD NOISE MITIGATION MATERIALS TO THE EXISTING BUILDING, IF DETERMINED NECESSARY BY THE CITY TO PROTECT SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY. AND WELFARE, SO THAT'S ALREADY A REQUIREMENT IN YOUR EXISTING WELL. PREVIOUS X S. U P YES, MA'AM. SO, UM. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE CONSIDERED FOR PEACE WITH THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD? TALK TO THEM AND SAID, YOU KNOW, UH, ACTUALLY MUSIC STUFF LIKE STOPS AT ONE O'CLOCK. AND THEN IF THEY ASK, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A FULL PARTY THEM. THEY USED TO BE A YOU A SO THERE WAS EIGHT ROOMS. WE MET INTO FOUR ROOMS. AND AH, MUSIC STOPS AT ONE O'CLOCK FOR EVERY ROOM, SO AND THEN EVERYBODY HAS TO GET OUT BY TWO O'CLOCK AND THEN AH! WHEN THEY SOMETIMES THEY MIGHT ASK FOR ONE HOUR EXTENSION. BUT WHEN THAT HAPPENS, USUALLY OUT OF ONE ROOM IT'S NOT THE FORUM, SO THAT REALLY REDUCED ANY KIND OF SOUND VIBRATION OR NOISE, AND THEN ONE OF OURS. THERE WAS EVEN WE WERE THERE QUITE A BIT, BUT LAST SATURDAY. I WAS THERE AT THE TOP OF CRACK AT NIGHT. YOU KNOW, IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING, I WAS CHECKING IT. I'M IN. I'M NOT. I'M NOT JUST SAYING THIS BECAUSE IT'S MY BUSINESS. BUT JUST DON'T HEAR IT. I DON'T HEAR THE NOISE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY SOUNDPROOF IT YOU MIGHT HEAR SOME HITS, BUT THAT WAS JUST WALKING. AND THE FARM INSIDE THE CAR CLOSED DOOR . I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING AND THEN WE HAVE OFFICERS. THEY GO OUT. THEY MAKE SURE YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S JUST LIKE SUBMARINE. I WAS TALKING WITH THE OFFICERS THAT ARE YOU CAN HAVE, YOU KNOW. $3 BILLION. YOU KNOW, SUBMARINE, BUT IF YOU DON'T CLOSE THE HATCH, RIGHT? I MEAN, YOU KNOW THAT $3 BILLION YOU KNOW, ISN'T WORTH ANYTHING AND SAME THING WITH THE OUR BUILDING. IF YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE A BODY IS OPEN ANY OF THE SIDE DOOR AND ALL THAT IS OPEN. THEN YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A PROBLEM . YOU KNOW PEOPLE GOING TO HEAR THE MUSIC, SO WE HAVE OFFICERS, ESPECIALLY AFTER 12 12. O'CLOCK, 12 30. THEY WATCHED THE SIDE DOORS. MAKE SURE IT'S CLOSED. AND THEN I WAS TALKING WITH MR GWEN THAT IF HE HAS A ANY CONCERN, HERE'S MY TELEPHONE THAT I TALKED TO HIM. THREE DAYS AGO AGAIN IF YOU HAVE ANY CONGESTIVE CALL ME TEXT ME AND I'LL BE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW, AND I'M SORRY THAT HIS WIFE HAS TO WORK ON SUNDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, BUT YOU KNOW, I TOLD HIM IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING, I'LL BE HAPPY TO HELP HIM OUT. AND YOU KNOW TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW HE'S THE WIFE DOESN'T THROUGH THAT PROBLEM. THAT'S WHAT I THAT'S WHAT I TOLD HIM.I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT. YOU REACHED OUT BECAUSE THAT WAS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY THAT THE PLAN COMMISSION HAD ALSO JUST SUGGESTED AS A SUGGESTION. SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU DID THAT, UM ALRIGHT, WELL, THE ONLY THE ONLY TWO NEIGHBORHOOD RESPONSES WERE COMPLAINTS ABOUT NOISE AND TRASH. AND, UM. SO THE UPKEEP OF YOUR PROPERTY ALSO THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW THAT KEEPING THE PROPERTY WE HAVE YOU KNOW THAT OUR OWN 30% OF THE BUILDING, SO IT'S 100.
OVER THE PROPERTY ZONE, YOU KNOW , THE MANAGED BY THE MARK COIN, AND THEY ARE THE ONE WHO YOU KNOW WHO'S SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY, SO I WAS SURPRISED TO GET NOTICED. YOU KNOW THAT $600 AH, CHARGED FOR, YOU KNOW, CLEANING THE YOU KNOW , THE MORE YOU KNOW THAT STRAW SOMETHING I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S DONE BY THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY BECAUSE I YOU KNOW WE ARE PART OF THE MANAGEMENT 100,000 SQUARE FOOT. BUT I RECEIVED A BILL AND ARE PAID PAID A BEER ANYWAY. YOU KNOW, MY LAWYER SAID RECEIPT JUST PAY IT. DON'T TRY TO ARGUE . DON'T TRY TO ARGUE. DON'T YOU KNOW? DON'T TALK, JUST PAY AND THEN TALK WITH MANAGEMENT COMPANY. SO THAT'S WHAT I DID. SO THAT'S THAT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE ABOUT NEXT TIME. I'LL BE AWARE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED LIKE THAT, AND I'LL MAKE SURE THAT I MANAGEMENT COMPANY. THEY LOOK INTO IT, BUT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY TRASH ISSUE TOO MUCH BECAUSE OF ON THE BACK IF YOU COME OUT
[01:20:07]
IS THAT COMPLETELY DEAD SPOT? YOU KNOW NOBODY PARKS OVER THERE IN THE YOU KNOW THAT SILAS CROWS. I THINK THAT THE AH, 10 O'CLOCK. ON THE GRAM ACROSS AT 10 O'CLOCK, AND BUT YOU KNOW THOSE EMPLOYEES IS THAT THERE MIGHT PARK IN THE BACK, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY REALLY NOBODY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE BACK. YOU KNOW , SO THEY SHOULDN'T BE OUT THERE CRANKING UP THE MUSIC OR AROUND THE TRASH AND DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU, SIR. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU. OUR LAWYER TELLS US NOT TO ARGUE TO MARY PRO TIM HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. AND JUST ASKING ONE MORE TIME YOU TALKED ABOUT YOUR LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR PROCEDURES REGARDING THE SOUND ABOUT HOW YOU LIKE TO KEEP THE BACK DOOR CLOSED AND MOVING TO A SINGLE ROOM. HAVE YOU IMPLEMENTED ANY OF THE OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION LIKE SOUND DAMPENING MATERIALS PLACED THE REAR? UH WE DID THAT 12 YEARS AGO, 10 YEARS AGO AND EIGHT YEARS AGO, WE KEPT ON MAKING IMPROVEMENTS. WHAT WE DID WAS, UH, USED TO BE YOU A MOVIE THEATER. YOU KNOW THEY THEY HAD A GOOD SOUND INSULATION TO BEGIN WITH, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN YOU KNOW WHEN STAR WARS THAT ARE HUGE, YOU KNOW, DERBY STEREO SOUND. IT MAKES A LOT OF SOUNDS OVER THERE, SO IT MAKES IT OUT OF BASS SOUND, SO I GUESS AT THAT TIME, 12 YEARS AGO. WE'RE TALKING INSTEAD OF WELL, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE I THINK, COUNCILMAN. THEY TOLD ME WELL, YOU KNOW, THE SHOPPING CENTER WAS UP THERE FIRST AND THE NEIGHBORS WHO CAME LATER. SO THEY TOLD ME THEY SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S THE YOU KNOW. I REMEMBER THAT 12 YEARS AGO AND THEN, JUST LIKE THE CITY OF WILDLIFE MOVED TO, RATHER BY THE LAKE. AND YOU KNOW , SOME TIME BEFORE WHETHER EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. YOU CAN SMELL THE SMELL OF YOU KNOW THAT'S FROM THE TRASH OVER THERE, BUT I CANNOT COMPLAIN, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, IT'S ALREADY THERE ARE MOVING IN LATER, YOU KNOW, AND THEN, BUT WE TRY 12 YEARS AGO, 10 YEARS AGO AND WE BUILT, UH, ANOTHER LAYER OF THE WARS ON THE ON THE ON THE SIDE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE WE DID IT ALL. WE ADDED MORE SOUND INSTALLATION AND WITHDRAW ONE MORE LAYER OF, UM YOU KNOW THAT ARE SHIPPED ROCKS AND PAINTED IT AND ALL OF THAT, AND THEN WE ADDED OUR ONE AMERICA SOUTH SIDE DOOR. WE ADDED UP, YOU KNOW EXTRA DOORS, TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT SOUND DOESN'T YOU KNOW THAT GO THROUGH? I THINK THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ANOTHER THAT MANY COMPLAINTS. BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE COMPLAINED. LIKE YOU KNOW, WE MET SOME MISTAKE. THEY'RE NOT THAT 11 PARTY IS, UH OVER EARLY AND THAT THE OTHER PARTY IS STILL GOING AND THEY WANT TO GET OUT. THEY WANT TO TAKE THEM. YOU KNOW, IT'S EQUIPMENTS OUT. AND THEY OPENED THE DOOR WIDE OPEN.YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE OR THE SOME SOME KIDS IN THE BACK. YOU KNOW, THEY WERE TURNING UP THE MUSIC IN THEIR CAR. WE HAD A COUPLE OF COMPRENDE LIKE THAT, BUT WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE THAT MANY COMPLAINTS IN PAST 12 YEARS. SO WE SO WE DID WHAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE CITY ASK US. SO I THINK WE DID MORE THAN THAT, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO DISTURB ANY. YOU KNOW THAT OUR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE HAD A REAL GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY HELD. YOU KNOW THAT I KNEW YOUR WE HAD, YOU KNOW ANY PROJECT STAIRS AND WITH THEIR ALL KIND OF STUFF, YOU KNOW, WITH THE GARAGE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE NEIGHBORS BEFORE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. VERY GOOD. ANY EXCUSE ME ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MARY. GOOD EVENING, SIR. JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.
YOU HAVE SECURITY AT ALL OF YOUR EVENTS. IS THAT CORRECT? WE HAVE A POLICE OFFICER IS A MINIMUM OF TWO OFFICERS. AND THEN MINIMUM TWO OFFICERS AND WE USUALLY HAVE A FOUR OFFICERS AT THE SITE. AND ARE THESE GPD OFFICERS, POLICE OFFICERS THAT THEY ARE SITTING RIGHT THERE? SCARY GUYS. OKAY I DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW IF THEY BROUGHT THE GUNS ON THAT, BUT OKAY? ALRIGHT, SO I THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED HIM. HE'S TRYING TO HIDE OVER THERE. BUT I RECOGNIZE IT. THANK YOU, SARAH MASON.
THANK YOU, MAYOR. CONSIDER MORE. THANK YOU, MR BEAR. I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE NOISE. YES, SIR. I LOOK AT THE POSITION OF YOUR BUILDING. RELATED TO THE HOUSING BEHIND YOU. UM OF COURSE , THE PRIMARY THING FOR ME I'M LEARNING IS THAT IF IT'S THE PROPER USE OF THE LAND, AND IT DOES APPEAR THAT IT'S A GOOD USE OF THE LAND. AT THE SAME TIME. I'M VERY CONCERNED, THOUGH, WHEN I HEAR THAT NEIGHBORS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO COMPLAIN TO. AND WHEN I SEE FOUR OF THOSE HOMES THERE WHO ARE ARE COMPLAINING, IT SAYS TO ME THAT FOR HOW MANY YEARS THAT YOU'VE BEEN 10 YEARS NOW, 12 YEARS 12 YEARS 12 YEARS. FOR 12 YEARS, THOSE NEIGHBORS HAVE MAYBE BEEN ENDURING. AH. UH SITUATION THAT NOW THEY FIND THAT THEY HAVE AN
[01:25:03]
OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT AND ABOUT IT. I'VE HEARD SOMEONE ASK YOU. WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO, UM MAKING SOME SOME SOME. CORRECTIONS TO THE BUILDING THAT MAY REDUCE THE NOISE. UM I'M RIGHT NOW THINKING THAT WE MAY NEED TO. WOULD YOU CONSIDER EVEN DOING BEFORE WE DO? THIS S U P WOULD YOU CONSIDER ALLOWING A NOISE VARIANCE STUDY TO BE CONDUCTED SUCH THAT YOU MAY RECEIVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS THAT MAY SOUND PROOF TO BUILDING A LOT BETTER.AND YOU WOULDN'T GET SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT YOU'RE GETTING PRESENTLY. SO I'M OPEN FOR ANYTHING BUT 12 YEARS AGO AND 10 YEARS AGO, EIGHT YEARS AGO, I KEEP GOING BACK, BUT WE HAD I HANG ON JUST A SECOND. OUR CITY ATTORNEY WAS JUST NEED CLARIFICATION OF WHAT COUNCILMAN MORE IS ASKING. ARE YOU ASKING FOR A NOISE STUDY? TO BE DONE BEFORE Y'ALL MAKE A FINAL DECISION OR YOU ASKING FOR HIM TO DO ONE AFTER Y'ALL MAKING A DECISION AND IMPROVE THE S U P MASKING BEFORE OKAY, WE HAVE A SHOT CLOCK ISSUE ON THAT. OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT AH, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO COMPLAIN. BUT WE HAD A GARAGE, SIR. YOU KNOW THOSE THOSE? YOU KNOW, WE HAD A YOU KNOW, WE HAD A PARTY FOR EVERYBODY AT THE YOU KNOW, OUR YOU KNOW OUR FACILITY FOR THE WHOLE NEIGHBORS. THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
BUT AH, I THINK, PERRY, THE LADY WHO LIVES ON YOU KNOW, RIGHT, RIGHT RIGHT ON THE TWO LADIES LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO FORM OF HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. SO EVERYBODY HAD A MEETING. WE HAD A YOU KNOW, GET TOGETHER MEETING. WE HAVE GARAGES THERE. SO EVERYBODY PRETTY MUCH KNEW WORLD WHERE I WAS WHERE WE WERE AND THEY CAME OR THEY ALL CAME DOWN PLACE, SO IT'S HARD TO YOU KNOW HOW TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO COMPLAIN. ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS JUST LIKE I TALKED WITH MR WHEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALM AND SAY HI. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A, UH YOU KNOW, WE HAD A LOT OF VIETNAMESE WEDDING SO I TOLD HIM I'M SURPRISED HE WAS NOT INVITED IN ONE OF THOSE HAVE BEEN MOMMY'S WEDDING BECAUSE SHE DID NOT, YOU KNOW. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT. I TALKED THEM. YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, 30 DAYS AGO, AND I SENT HIM A LIST OF SOME VIETNAMESE. YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN DUMMIES TALKING ABOUT THE VIETNAMESE. UH CLIENT. THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED SENTENCE THERE ARE, YOU KNOW SO HE KNOWS. YOU KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN HONEST PEOPLE. THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED, BUT HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. I MEAN THAT WE ALL GOT TOGETHER. AND THEN WE YOU KNOW, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE THE COMPLAINT FOR MANY YEARS. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT DOES PUT YOU IN A VERY PRECARIOUS SITUATION ALONG WITH THE RESIDENTS. AND. I'M JUST GOING.
I'M GOING TO STOP AT THAT POINT AND TO ACCEPT WHAT'S BEEN SAID, BUT IT STILL DOES CONCERN ME.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. WHICH TRY AND YOU KNOW, WE WOULD YOU KNOW, WE TRIED TOLD THEM WE WANTED TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR TOLD HIM WE'VE BEEN HERE 12 YEARS WILL BE HERE NEXT. 15 20 YEARS TO LIVE THAT LONG. BUT OKAY. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. I SEE THAT SARAH WILL TELL YOU. I WAS HERE 12 YEARS AGO ON THE PLAN COMMISSION WHEN THIS CAME THROUGH, INITIALLY, I MEAN, YES , THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT PLANE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PREVIOUS, UH, PREVIOUS OPERATION. UM AND I WAS THE COUNCIL MEMBER FOR THE ADJACENT DISTRICT FOR SIX YEARS.
UM, AND I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN UH, OVER 12 YEARS THAT, UH, YOU KNOW THE STATEMENT THAT PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO CALL. I FIND THAT VERY, VERY HARD TO BELIEVE. BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME. AND I CAN TELL YOU PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY WHO TO CALL. UM AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING THERE'S NOT NOISE ESCAPING THE BUILDING , BUT, UH, IF THERE WAS, IF THERE WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM HERE, WE WOULD ALL HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF IT. I'M CERTAIN OF THAT. ESPECIALLY MYSELF BEING AN ADJACENT DISTRICT. SO AND I KNOW YOU HAVE YOU HAVE MADE THE IMPROVEMENTS INSIDE THE BUILDING TO TRY TO CAPTURE AS MUCH OF THAT SOUND AS POSSIBLE. NOT CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT. SO MADAM SECRETARY. DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? WE DO NOT. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I SEE NONE AND WE HAVE CLEARED THE QUEUE.

AND DID ALL THAT. SO THE S U P DOESN'T NEED IT. ANY OTHER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY CONDITIONED ON SOUND MITIGATION AND LITTER MITIGATION . IF IT'S FOUND TO BE A PROBLEM, SO I DON'T SEE ADDING ANY MORE STRINGS. BUT UM, FOR DISCUSSION , I WILL PUT FORTH COUNCILMAN SMITH'S SUGGESTION OF APPROVING IT FOR A TWO YEAR PERIOD AND THEN SEEING HOW THE NOISE ISSUES PLAY OUT IN THAT TIME. SO. I AM OKAY WITH THAT. I'M ALSO OKAY WITH WITH A FIVE YEAR I'M PROBABLY NOT OKAY WITH THE 15 AS REQUESTED. OKAY, VERY GOOD. ANY ANY DISCUSSION ON THE LENGTH OF TIME ON THE SGP DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM WILLIAMS.
