Dec 06, 2022 City Council

[Call to Order]

[00:00:15]

WELL GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE DECEMBER 6 2022 REGULAR MEETING OF THE GARLAND CITY COUNCIL. BEFORE WE GET STARTED THIS EVENING. I DO HAVE SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE. IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE WANT TO SHARE THE LOSS OF TWO OF OUR CITY OF GARLAND FAMILY OVER THE WEEKEND . BOTH TOOK THEIR OWN LIVES. MICHAEL HAAS JOINED OUR FLEET SERVICES DEPARTMENT AS A MECHANIC BACK IN AUGUST. AND HE WAS ONLY 23 YEARS OLD.

LIEUTENANT CHRIS KERR. KERR WAS A 16 YEAR VETERAN OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO SERVED SELFLESSLY WHILE BATTLING CANCER. THEY WERE NOT JUST EMPLOYEES. THEY SERVE THE PUBLIC. THEY SERVED THIS CITY. THEY WERE FRIENDS. THEY WERE FAMILY. AND SO TONIGHT, OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO THEIR FAMILIES BOTH AT HOME AND AT WORK. AND YOU KNOW, OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE SOME OF THE BEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL EMPLOY MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AVAILABLE. AND TO HAVE TWO SUICIDES IN OUR GARLAND FAMILY IN ONE WEEKEND IS TRULY HEARTBREAKING. WE HAVE MET WITH BOTH POLICE AND FLEET PERSONNEL AND ARE MAKING ON SITE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM AS WELL AS REDOUBLING OUR EFFORTS TO REMIND OUR EMPLOYEES AND EVERYONE THATE AVAILABLE. WE'RE ALSO WORKING CLOSELY WITH BOTH FAMILIES TO BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE THAT WE CAN AND YOU KNOW THE THEY SAY, YOU NEVER KNOW. WHAT SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING THROUGH, AND THAT IS VERY TRUE. BUT WHAT YOU ALSO DON'T KNOW IS WHAT KIND OF IMPACT YOU CAN HAVE ON THEIR LIVES. AND I HOPE THAT WE LEARN FROM THIS THAT. SEEKING HELP ASKING FOR HELP, SAYING YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE IS NOT A WEAKNESS. IT GIVES OTHERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP YOU. AND BELIEVE ME, THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WILL HELP YOU. SO I HOPE THAT. I HOPE THAT WE CAN ALL COME TOGETHER AND AGAIN SUPPORT THESE FAMILIES IN A IN A VERY DIFFICULT TIME. AND FOR SOME A VERY DIFFICULT TIME OF THE YEAR. THANK YOU. AND WITH THAT IT IS A CUSTOM AND TRADITION OF THIS CITY COUNCIL TO BEGIN OUR MEETINGS WITH THE INDICATION OF THE PLEDGE IN A PRAYER. YOU WILL BE LED BY ONE OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE. YOUR DECISION TO PARTICIPATE OR NOVEL HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE HERE TONIGHT. AND TONIGHT WE WILL BE LED BY DISTRICT SEVEN. COUNCIL MEMBER DYLAN HEDRICK, SIR IN PRAYER. YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER. WE COME TO YOU TODAY DURING THE SEASON OF PREPARATION FOR THE COMING YEAR, SON, WE INVITE YOU INTO OUR HEARTS DURING THIS BUSY TIME, AND THEN WE ASK THAT YOU GRANT US YOUR PIECE. WE ASK THAT YOU GRANT WISDOM ALSO UPON THIS COUNCIL TODAY AS WE STRIVE TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR THE CITY OF GARLAND. WE ASK THAT YOU CONTINUE TO BLESS OUR CITY, OUR CITIZENS AND ESPECIALLY OUR FIRST RESPONDERS ON OUR CITIES AND OUR CITY STAFF. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE VALUED. YOU'RE WORTHY YOUR LOVED AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO WALK ALONE. WE ASK ALL THESE THINGS? THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN.

IT'S HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS. FIRST ITEM

[Items 8a & 8b]

[00:15:04]

[00:20:08]

BETWEEN BUILDINGS RATHER THAN 20 FT, WHICH IS THE STANDARD MULTI FAMILY REQUIREMENTS. SO SINCE THIS IS A SINGLE FAMILY STYLE OF DEVELOPMENT, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO KIND OF ADHERE TO THAT STYLE AND HAVE THE BUILDINGS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TOGETHER VERSUS HAVING LARGER MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE SPACED A LITTLE FURTHER APART. BUILDING SETBACKS . THEIR REQUIREMENT. EXCUSE ME BUILDING SETBACKS FOR A SIDE SETBACK, NOT ADJACENT TO A STREET. THE REQUIREMENT THERE IS 2012 FT. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF AREAS WHERE THE APPLICANT WILL PROPOSE TO HAVE SIX FT. IT'S NOT A SIDE SETBACK. THE REQUESTING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SITE. UM THE DRIVEWAYS COMING OFF CENTERVILLE AND MILLER JUST CREATED A LITTLE BIT OF SPACING.

UM UH, IN SOME AREAS. I BELIEVE IT'S RIGHT RIGHT THERE. WHEN THE CURSOR HAS SHOWN SCOOTS THE BUILDINGS A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE PROPERTY LINE AT SIX FT. SO UM, THAT'S THE REASON FOR THAT DEVIATION TO ACCOMMODATE THE APPROPRIATE DRIVEWAY WITS. MINIMUM DWELLING UNIT AREA FOR ONE BEDROOM. THE GDC MINIMUM IS 650 SQUARE FEET. THE APPLICANTS PROPOSING ONE UNIT TYPE, I BELIEVE IS THAT A ONE UNIT TYPE AT 635 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM, AND THERE'S A PARTICULAR MARKET SEGMENT OR DEMOGRAPHIC WITH THAT FLOOR PLAN. THEY'RE TRYING TO CAPTURE WITH THAT, BUT OTHERWISE ALL THE OTHER MINIMUM UNIT SQUARE FOOTAGE IS THEY ARE MEETING FOR THE G D. C. AND THEN FINALLY, THE LAST DEVIATION IS REGARDING TO SCREENING TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DESSERT BOUNDARIES. BUT WHEN I SAY SINGLE FAMILY, IT'S ACTUALLY THE AG PROPERTY OF THE EAST, WHICH IS WHAT HEAVILY WOODED AND A CREEK AREA TECHNICALLY THAT'S CONSIDERED SO THEY'RE REQUESTING NOT TO CONSTRUCT A SCREENING WALL BACKING UP TO THE WOODS ESSENTIALLY SO UM, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF THEIR QUEST IS APPROVAL OF THE ZONING AND THE DETAILED PLAN AND THE PLAN COMMISSION ON NOVEMBER, 7TH RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL. THAT WAS WITH AN 8 TO 0 VOTE.

AND MAYOR. WE MAILED OUT 60 NOTIFICATION LETTERS. WE RECEIVED TWO AGAINST THE REQUEST WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND 11 AGAINST THE REQUEST OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND WANT TO CLARIFY THE RESPONSES THAT WE UPLOADED INBOX FOR YOU EARLIER. THOSE WERE ALL CAPTURED.

HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON, THE RED WRITING THAT INDICATES OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA JUST DIDN'T SHOW UP IN YOUR IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT ON A MOBILE DEVICE, SO ALL OF THE ONLINE RESPONSES WERE OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION NOTIFICATION AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE, SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT VERY GOOD. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM SMITH. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION ON THAT SCREENING WALL DEVIATION. IS THAT CONSISTENT WITH OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE CITY OR IS THAT SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T DONE BEFORE. NO I BELIEVE THAT IS CONSISTENT. WE'VE SEEN THE DEVIATION BEFORE , UM, WHERE THEY DEVELOPERS PROPOSING NOT TO. CERTAINLY NOT TO HAVE A MASONRY WALL OR, IN SOME CASES, EVEN AN ORNAMENTAL FENCE IN SOME CASES. IF IT'S A IF THEY WANTED GATED ALL AROUND THERE HAVE AN ORNAMENTAL FENCE. BUT I WOULD SAY, GENERALLY SPEAKING, CONSISTENT, OKAY. AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS JUST THE SCREENING WALLS ARE ALL ABOUT VISUAL SCREENING IF THEY WERE ALL ABOUT EARTH INCLUDED, YOU KNOW, PEDESTRIAN FOOT TRAFFIC. AND MANAGING THAT KIND OF THING, SO I JUST WANTED TO CHECK. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR. VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. I SEE NOW. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. MADAM SECRETARY. YEAH FIVE SPEAKERS REGISTERED TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE OF INCLUDING THE APPLICANT. OKAY LET'S BEGIN WITH THE APPLICANT. SIR, IF YOU CAN COME FORWARD, AND IF YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, YOU WILL HAVE 10 MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION AND THEN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. MY NAME IS BILL DAHLSTROM. 23 23 ROSS AVENUE. I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU.

OF COURSE, THANK WILL AND THE HELP THEY'VE GIVEN US FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS. WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF NEW MEETINGS AND WE'VE HAD CONTINUING

[00:25:04]

I'M GOING TO SHORTEN MIND BECAUSE A LOT OF THE POINTS I WANTED TO MAKE HIS HEART HE MADE, SO I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT A LOT OF THE THINGS, HE SAID. NOW I THINK IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY STYLE DEVELOPMENT. UM IT'S MULTI FAMILY FOR RENTAL UNITS. IT'S NOT GARDEN STYLE. IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, A DENSE, MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT UNTIL UNIQUE, SINGLE FAMILY STYLE THAT WILL BE RENTED AND AGAIN, WE JUST TO REITERATE WE HAD IT. A GREAT HEARING AT THE PNC RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL. AITO UH, STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, AND I THINK THE KEY THING IS, IT'S GENERALLY COMPATIBLE WITH STAFF SAID WITH THE ENVISIONED GARLAND PLAN, WHICH, QUITE FRANKLY SUPPORTS A LOT MORE DENSITY ON THE SITE, SO WE THINK IT'S A GREAT FIT FOR THIS TRACT OF LAND IN THE GREAT USE OF THE PROPERTY. ORBAN AGAIN CREATES COMMUNITIES, RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES SUCH AS THIS, THEY DO THE SINGLE FAMILY STYLE RENTAL BY PROVIDING ALSO, UH, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT AMENITIES AND AS YOU COULD SEE, AND I'LL SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT LATER. SOME OF THE AMENITIES THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING UM AGAIN. IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY COTTAGE DOLLARS . I THINK THE BEST WAY OF PUTTING IT AND AS I STATED IN HERE PROVIDES THE FLEXIBILITY OF AN APARTMENT BUT ALSO THE FREEDOM OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME , OR BANA CURRENTLY HAS PROJECTS GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE STATE. AS IDENTIFIED ON THIS MAP. UM AGAIN. WE ALL KNOW WHERE THE PROPERTY IS. SENATOR VILLAIN MILLER ROAD, LONDON BLUE DOWN THERE AND AGAIN WILL DID A GREAT JOB OF DEFINING THE COMMERCIAL, THE STORAGE FACILITY AND THE OPEN SPACE TO OUR EAST. THIS IS AGAIN THE ZONING MAP THAT WILL SHOWED EARLIER. HERE IS ANOTHER VERSION OF OUR CONCEPT SITE PLANNER SITE PLAN. WHICH I THINK SHOWS A LOT MORE. AND NOT MORE DETAIL ARE OPEN SPACE AND OUR AMENITIES GOING THROUGH THE CENTER. WE HAVE A CENTER CENTRAL PARK THERE, AS YOU CAN SEE. JUST OFF OF MILLER ROAD. THERE'S THE POOL AND THE BUILDING OF FRIENDS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE OUR AMENITY CENTER AND ARE LEASING OFFICE BUT AGAIN NOTED WITH A LOT OF OPEN SPACE, UH AND THEN ACCESS AS WELL TO THE FACILITIES TO THE AMENITIES AS WELL, I THINK IS SIGNIFICANT AGAIN. WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE BOTH INTERNAL AND NOT JUST COUNTING. JUST THE OPEN SPACE THAT'S ON OUR PROPERTY OF THE FLOODPLAIN. BUT WITHIN THE PROPERTY ITSELF. THERE IS A BIG STAN SHAL AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE AND, AS IS NOTED IN THE REPORT, WE DO COMPLY WITH THE PARKING REGULATIONS. WILL SHOWED. OTHER. THESE ELEVATIONS AGAIN IF I'D LIKE TO NOTE THAT THEY SHOW ARTICULATION AS WELL, THEY'RE NOT JUST SOLID SCREENS, SOLID FACADES, SO IT DOES PROVIDE THE VARIETY AND THE INTEREST WITHIN THE AESTHETIC AND THE DEVELOPMENT. SO HALLMARK OF ANY GREAT COMMUNITY. A GOOD COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE GOOD AMENITIES ACCESSIBLE COMMITTEE AMEND THESE AND WE ARE PROVIDING THESE AS WELL, AS WAS NOTED IN OUR PLAN. UM YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE VERY ACCESSIBLE TO THE DEVELOPMENT FROM FOLKS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT. THE NEXT LITTLE SHOW YOU THE ACCESSIBILITY. BUT IT IS GENEROUS, AND WE'VE GOT THE POOL, DOG PARKS AND OTHER OPEN SPACES, BOTH ACTIVE AND PASSIVE RECREATION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT, SO EACH RESIDENTIAL UNIT IS GOING TO BE WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF A OPEN SPACE. BUT I. WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. I THINK THIS IS THIS IS SOMETHING WE THAT WE SAW AFTER THE FIRST NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING THE TRAIL SYSTEM WITHIN OUR DEVELOPMENT PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT ACCESS FROM WITH IN THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT TO THE OPEN SPACES AND PROVIDES ACCESS ACCESS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT. I THINK THIS IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT AS WELL. WHERE WE WERE PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERACTION AND ACCESS TO THE TO THE OPEN SPACES. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT AT SOME POINT THERE'LL BE A TRAIL FURTHER WEST TO SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO THAT TRAIL AS WELL. AS A RESULT OF SOME OF OUR MEETINGS. THERE WERE A COUPLE CHANGES WE HAD WE AGREED TO MAKE RATHER AFTER THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, ONE WAS THERE WAS A CONCERN ABOUT TRAFFIC CUTTING THROUGH FROM OUR DEVELOPMENT GOING ACROSS THE MEDIAN OPENING IN CENTERVILLE, AND WE AGREED TO DO A RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT ONLY AT THIS INTERSECTION SO THERE WON'T BE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CUT THROUGH.

WHICH UM, ADDRESSES THAT CONCERN THE OTHER WE VISITED WITH WITH MR CARTER ABOUT THE AESTHETIC ON

[00:30:08]

UM WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, AND WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION. AND AGAIN. THE FOLKS FROM OBAMA ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY DETAILED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT TEAM. COUNCILOR LUCK OKAY? UM, TELL ME ABOUT SOME INNOVATIVE OR UNIQUE FEATURES OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. I'M GOING TO DEFER TO MR HINMAN. THANK YOU. AND IF WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN A SPEAKER CARD FROM YOU WILL NEED TO THANK YOU . GOOD EVENING, MR MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. UM I THINK THE UNIQUE FEATURES START WITH THE PRODUCT TYPE ITSELF WITH ITS IN OUR IN OUR NAME, YARD HOMES. AND WHILE I YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BTR NECESSARILY. I THINK THE SMALLER FOOTPRINT OF THE COTTAGE DEVELOPMENT IS, AS BILL SAID, IS UNIQUE. UM, I THINK IT IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW NEW. UH HOUSEHOLDS AND FOR DOWNSIZING FOR EMPTY NESTERS. IT'S A HOUSING TYPE FOR MISSING MEDALS. SO YOU KNOW NOT EVERYBODY CAN CAN OR WANTS TO LIVE IN A THREE AND FOUR BEDROOM RENTALS. PRODUCT TYPE ITSELF, I THINK IS A BIT UNIQUE. THE OFFERING, BUT THE YARD THE DETACHED RESIDENTIAL HOME WITH A YARD HENCE THE HENCE THE NAME IS A DIFFERENTIATOR. THE PRODUCT THE PRODUCT IS UNIQUE. I ALL OF OUR HOMES HAVE SMART TECHNOLOGY , SO WE HAVE A SMART HUB WITH DOOR OR INTEGRATED DOOR LOCKS, INTEGRATED THERMOSTAT AND A LOT OF THE EMERGING TRENDS IN SMART TECH. UM ONE THING WE LIKE TO DO ON THE PRODUCT ALSO THAT THAT THAT I THINK PROBABLY DIFFERENTIATES OURSELVES FROM OUR COMPETITORS IN IN THE SPACE , BUT ALSO FROM OTHER BE TRS IS EACH OF THE YARD HOMES. WE WE LIKE TO VIEW IT AS A HOME, NOT NOT AS A UNIT AND SO HENCE YARD HOME BUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH FROM FROM FROM THE DEVELOPMENT WITH OUR ENGINEERS, THE ARCHITECT IT'S ALWAYS AT HOME, SO THERE ARE LITTLE FUTURES THROUGHOUT THE PRODUCT THAT THAT'S COST OF A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS HERE AND THERE, BUT THEY REALLY GO A LONG WAY IN THE USER EXPERIENCE, SO FOR INSTANCE. IN THE ENTRY FOYERS. WE HAVE INDIVIDUAL LIGHT AND CIRCUITS.

SO INSTEAD OF HAVING JUST, YOU KNOW, AND ALWAYS ON LIGHT, LIKE YOU WOULD SEE IN AN APARTMENT FOYER. YOU HAVE A LIGHT SWITCH. YOU HAVE A DOORBELL. YOU HAVE A BACKYARD LIGHTS ON YOUR SWITCH, SO A LOT OF THE LITTLE NUANCES OF A OF A HOUSE OR BUILT INTO THE HOME ITSELF. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. COUNCILOR HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MR ERIC. YEAH I'M NOT SURE WHO YOUR QUESTIONS FOR, SO IT'S FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO ANSWER. I DON'T KNOW, AS I'D LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS ENTRANCE ON CENTERVILLE. YOU SAID IT'S A MODIFIED RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT. CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THAT? PLEASE YESTERDAY, UH, AGAIN, WE VISITED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO CUT THROUGH RIGHT ACROSS THE MEDIAN OPENING AT CENTRAL SO WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND PUT IN A RIGHT OUT RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT ONLY AT THAT INTERSECTION WILL A LEFT TURN FROM CENTERVILLE INTO THE PROPERTY STILL BE ALLOWED THEN? YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THAT'S PROBABLY ADVISABLE. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'D WANT TO TAKE THAT AWAY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT BE AN EFFICIENT FLOW, BUT WE WOULD STILL LIKE IT, BUT I THINK IT'S STILL YEAH, I MEAN, ACTS CONSIDERED. I'M JUST QUIT IF YOU'RE HAVING A RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT STILL I SEE YOUR POINT WOULD

[00:35:05]

SHOULDN'T IMPEDE THAT LEFT OUT EITHER. SO REALLY ELIMINATING THE CROSSING LEFTS ACROSS THREE LANES WAS WAS WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO ACHIEVE. HAVE YOU DONE? A TRAFFIC STUDY LOOKED AT THE NEED FOR A LIGHT AT THIS INTERSECTION HAVE AND THERE WERE THERE WAS ONLY ONE OF THREE OF THE TRAFFIC WARRANTS MET IN A TRAFFIC SIGNALS NOT NOT WARRANTED OR RECOMMENDED FOR THE T I THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. PROTEIN, MORRIS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND I'M I'M GLAD THAT COUNCILMAN HEDRICK ATHLETES THE QUESTION FOR THE SPECIFICS BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD THE RIGHT AND RIGHT OUT, BUT HAVEN'T UM SEEN IT DRAWN OUT ON PAPER. SO I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING THAT YOU ASKED, UM AND I DID TALK TO THAT, UM GARLAND CREEK SIDE, WHICH IS IN MY DISTRICT DIRECTLY ACROSS CENTERVILLE, WHICH IS THE CLOSEST NEIGHBORHOOD TO THIS AND THEY ARE THEY ARE SATISFIED WITH THE RIGHT AND RIGHT OUT SOLUTION, WHICH WAS THAT THEIR REQUEST, SO QUESTION. DO YOU KNOW THE DISTANCE? CAN YOU TELL ME THE DISTANCE FROM THE SOUTHERN MOST HOMES AND YOUR DEVELOPMENT TO THE NEAREST RESIDENTIAL HOMES SOUTH OF MILLER? I KNOW THAT'S OUTSIDE. WELL OUTSIDE THE 400 FT NOTIFICATION AREA. BUT CAN YOU TELL ME HOW FAR IT ACTUALLY IS? A 1200 FT FROM IF I UNDERSTAND FROM OUR NEAREST UNIT TO THE TO THIS SOUTH, YEAH, 1200 FT ACROSS MILLER AND OKAY, ALRIGHT. UM ON SITE MAINTENANCE. YARDS BEING KEPT CUT BUSHES BEING KEPT TRIMMED, IS THAT UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL TENANTS? WE LEARNED A LESSON THEIR FIRST FEW PROJECTS WE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE THEIR HOME, THEIR YARD AND WE WANTED TO RESPECT THAT AND APPRECIATE IT. AND WE FOUND VERY QUICKLY THAT THAT THAT WASN'T THE RIGHT ANSWER. AND SO NOW NO, NO AT ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES ON SITE MANAGEMENT DOES MAINTAIN THE YARDS. IN FACT, WE TRANSITIONED. WE THOUGHT WE THOUGHT GRAVEL WAS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS FOR MAINTENANCE FOR SMELLS FROM PETS , ODORS, THAT TYPE OF THING, BUT WE'VE ALSO TRANSITIONED THERE AND WE PUT IN TURF AND WE MAINTAIN THE TURF. OKAY SO YOU MAINTAIN NOT ONLY THE COMMON AREAS, BUT THE YARDS, INCLUDING BACKYARDS OF INDIVIDUAL HOMES. THAT'S CORRECT. WHOLE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE VERTICAL, THE BUILT STRUCTURES AS WELL. SO RE PAINTS ARE NOT INDIVIDUAL TENANTS AND THE GROUNDS ARE MANAGEMENT AS WELL. OKAY AND I KNOW YOU TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT, OR, UM MR DAHLSTROM DID BUT THE SAFETY SECURITY ISSUES. THIS IS A GATED COMMUNITY. CORRECT THAT'S CORRECT, AND THAT ALSO WAS CONCERNED BROUGHT UP BY MY NEIGHBORS THAT ARE FIRST NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH MEETING WAS THE CONCERN OF TRAP CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, AND TO PREVENT CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC, I THINK THE GATES ARE BENEFICIAL, BUT YES, IT'S GATED. OKAY AND WHAT OTHER SECURITY FEATURES? UM DOES THE DEVELOPMENT OFFER? WELL SO WE, UH, WE HAVE OFFER OR WE'VE, I SHOULD SAY RESEARCHED WHETHER PRE WIRING FOR SECURITY SYSTEMS IS SOMETHING THAT TENANTS WOULD WOULD LIKE IN OUR PRODUCT. WE DON'T DO IT. UH TODAY THERE ARE SO MANY WIRELESS SYSTEMS THAT ARE OUT THERE, SO IT'S NOT

[00:40:02]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. CONSIDER MORE. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. OKAY I THINK I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS THAT I'D LIKE TO ASK. FIRST ONE IS EITHER RELATES TO THE TRAFFIC. CAN YOU SPEAK MORE TO THE TRAFFIC STUDY? THAT WAS DONE? THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONCERN RELATES TO, UH THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO CALL SO MUCH TRAFFIC THAT IT'S GOING TO BE CONGESTED IN THAT AREA. CAN YOU SPEAK MORE TO THE TRAFFIC STUDY IN WHICH YOU DISCOVERED THERE? YES SO THE TRAFFIC STUDY WAS UPDATED, PERHAPS TWO OR THREE TIMES AS WE ADVANCED THROUGH THE PROJECT. ALL SAY FOR THIS, UH, THIS PRODUCT TYPE THE TRAFFIC, THE TRAFFIC COUNTS PER HOUSE ARE LOWER THAN A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE BECAUSE THE OCCUPANT LOAD IS LESS AND SO OUR TRAFFIC COUNCIL ARE EXCUSE ME, LIKE I SAID, LESS. THE TWO THINGS THAT WE WERE VERY MINDFUL OF. WHERE ARE OUR ENTRY POINTS ON MILLER ROAD AND OF THE POTENTIAL NEED FOR A SIGNAL ON CENTERVILLE. SO WE WENT INTO IT WIDE EYED THAT VERY GOOD. WELL REQUIRED A SIGNAL ON CENTERVILLE. ONE THING THAT CAME UP LATE IN THE IN THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AS WE WERE RIGHT ON THE THRESHOLD OF ON MILLER ROAD OF REQUIRING A DSL LANE. BECAUSE OF OUR TRAFFIC COUNTS. WE IN OUR FIRST ITERATION FOR HOWEVER MANY ITERATIONS OF THE DESIGN, WE HAD THREE ENTRY POINTS. ONE OF THEM WAS EXIT ONLY EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY THE WESTERN, WHAT IS NOW THE WESTERN ON MILLER. WE REVISED IT ADDED IT BACK EVEN THOUGH WE WERE RIGHT AT THE THRESHOLD, AND IT WASN'T CERTAIN THAT WE WOULD NEED THREE ENTRY POINTS. WE ADDED A THIRD TO SPLIT OUR TRAFFIC COUNTS AS WELL AS WE COULD THROUGHOUT THE SITE . ANOTHER THING WE DID IS IN THE SITE PLANNING IF I HAD THE SITE PLAN UP, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO BACKWARD HERE, BUT THANK YOU. I DO. THANK YOU. SO. WE LAID OUT THE SITE WITH I WOULD SAY INTENTION OF TRYING TO CIRCULATE CARS EFFICIENTLY, BOTH TO CENTERVILLE, LANDON MILLER. SO WE HAVE OUR MAIN SPINE ROAD GOING FROM OUR PRIMARY ENTRANCE TO THE CENTERVILLE ENTRANCE. SO ESSENTIALLY A COLLECTOR. IT'S A TREE LINED FRONT WITH FRONT FACING ARCHITECTURE. EXCUSE ME.

I'VE SEEN THAT DONE HERE BEFORE TRYING TO FUNNEL PEOPLE TO THAT THAT SPINE ROAD SO AS TO CIRCULATE THEM OUT. OKAY STAY CLOSE TO THE MIX. OKAY, SO YOUR STUDY THEN DID NOT CHILL THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE THAT MUCH OF AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE TRAFFIC IN THAT, ACCORDING HMM. NO, SIR. IN THE WAY OF DENSITY. DID YOU CONDUCT ANY TYPE OF STUDY THAT ADDRESS THE ROOFTOPS IN THAT AREA, DUDE, ANY STUDY THAT SAYS THAT THAT'S THAT'S TOO MANY HOMES MAY BE IN THE WAY OF DENSITY FOR THAT AREA, OR DID YOU? WHAT DID YOU STUDY? SHOW US ? I WOULD SAY WE STARTED THE AREA BEFORE WE DECIDED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WITH LOOKING AT THIS AS A POTENTIAL PROJECT FOR URBANA. AND SO THAT TOLD US THAT THERE WAS A LACK OF ROOFTOPS IN THE AREA OF ROOFTOP. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. AND I HIT THIS MICROPHONE ALL THE TIME. BECAUSE LIKE YOU, I TALK WITH MY HANDS, SO IT'S OKAY. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT TEAM. I SEE NONE. UM, WE DO HAVE BELIEVE HAVE SOME OTHER SPEAKERS. WE DO. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS MR GERRY CARTER. OKAY AND AS FAR AS THE APPLICANT WILL, IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES THAT ARE BROUGHT UP DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENTS, I WILL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THOSE AFTERWARDS. SIR,

[00:45:07]

WE'LL GET OUR TIMER SET. GO. OKAY GERRY CARTER, 27 25 COUNTRY VALLEY ROAD. GARLAND WAS GOING TO TRY TO GET OUT OF IT. IT'S WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO. I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T LET ME. OKAY WELL, THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. AND THANK YOU FOR THE COUNCIL LETTING ME SPEAK ON THIS JUST A LITTLE BIT.

UM, BEING A LONG TIME RESIDENT OF SOUTH GARLAND 40. SOME ODD YEARS. THEY'RE NOW ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN BLOCKS FROM ISRAEL. OF COURSE, THIS THIS INTEREST ME TO BEGIN WITH. SECONDLY IT INTERESTED ME BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST. AND SO I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO HEAR AS MUCH AS I COULD ABOUT THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT BEFORE IT CAME TO THE POINT OF BEING TOO LATE. UM, SO ANYWAY, FIRST THING I DID IS I ATTENDED THE WORK SESSION WITH PLAN COMMISSION AND THEN ALSO ATTENDED THE GENERAL MEETING WHERE THEY APPROVED THIS AND IT DID GO UNANIMOUS. AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING REALLY NEGATIVE THAT CAME OUT OF THAT. BUT WE KNOW WE HAVE CITIZENS HERE THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE HAVE SOME CONCERNS ON WHAT WHAT THEY THINK SHOULD BE DONE OR SHOULDN'T BE DONE. AND THEY'RE I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING YOU IN JUST A VERY FEW MINUTES NOW. BUT WHAT THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO JUST TO KIND OF BRING OUT SO THAT EVERYONE EVERYONE HERE IT WAS THAT WHEN YOU SAW THE, UM THE ELEVATIONS, ONE OF THE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS WHETHER YOU KNOW THERE'S NOT HARDLY ANY MASONRY ON ON THOSE BUILDINGS. BUT THERE THERE'S DECORATIVE. THERE'S DECORATIVE COMPONENTS, WHICH ARE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT, BUT THEN THE QUESTION WAS ASKED. WELL, WHY DIDN'T THE STUDIO REQUIRE MORE MASONRY ON THESE BUILDINGS? INSTEAD OF HAVING PRIMARILY WITH THE EXTERIOR SIDING AND PAINT WHEN WE ALL KNOW WHOM YOU ALL KNOW? BUT IN 2019, THE STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED A BILL THAT SAID THE CITY'S CAN NO LONGER REQUIRE ANY TYPE OF THING. THAT'S SO IT'S PURELY UP TO THE DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS. WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS USED THAT USED THE MASONRY AREAS IS SAYS AS GOOD HIGHLIGHTS FOR THAT, SO THAT THAT'S GOING TO THAT'S GOING TO WORK FAIRLY EFFECTIVELY. ALSO AFTER THAT MEETING, UM I'VE HAD I'VE HAD VISITS AND IN PERSON VISITS WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE OWNER, OWNERS AND ZOOM MEETING WITH THE OWNER. AND I FOUND THEM VERY.

VERY INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR THIS AREA IN GARLAND. AND I THINK THEY'VE DONE THE MAJOR THING THAT THAT WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE A MAJOR THINGS WE FIRST OFF THE TRAFFIC TRANSPORTATION IS ALWAYS ALWAYS THE BIG DEAL, BUT THE WHEN THEY SHOWED US IN THE PRELIMINARY WORK, THE UM UM, DEVELOPMENT THEY'VE DONE IN AUSTIN AND I HAPPENED TO HAVE TO GO TO AUSTIN RIGHT AFTER I GOT THAT. AND SO ON. WE WENT ON AROUND AND TOOK A LOOK AT WHAT THEY'VE DONE THERE.

AND I FOUND ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT. THEY HAD THERE AND WHAT THEY PROPOSED FOR HEARING GARLAND AND THAT WAS HOW THEY HANDLED THE CARS THAT WERE GOING TO BE IN TO THE BUILDINGS THAT THAT THE BUILDINGS ARE CLOSEST TO MILLER ROAD. IN AUSTIN, YOU SAW NO CARS. ALL THE CARS WERE INSIDE THE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH MADE FOR A REALLY DENSE PARKING INSIDE THE DEVELOPMENT INSIDE THE INSIDE THE UNITS AND THE BUILDING AREAS AND THIS ONE WE HAD. WE HAD A ROW OF CARS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN MILLER ROAD, AND THEY REALLY, REALLY HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. AND I HADN'T EITHER UNTIL I WAS WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND SAID, WAIT A MINUTE. HERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE, AND WITH THAT WE BEGAN DISCUSSIONS OF PUTTING IN THE SOLID SCREENING WALL AND THEY WERE THEY WITHOUT HESITATION WITHOUT HESITATION. THEY AGREED TO DO THAT WE COULDN'T MAKE THEM DO IT. THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT, BUT THEY DID IT. AND THAT'S A MAJOR CONCESSION FOR A DEVELOPER TO MAKE TO COME IN TERMS OF YOU TO MEET ONE OF THE MAJOR NEEDS OF THE CITY, SO ANYWAY, JUST TO JUST TO FINISH THIS UP, I WANT TO JUST SAY THAT YOU KNOW THEY WERE. THEY WERE VERY VERY CORDIAL IN DEALING IN DEALINGS. AND SO I'M I'M NOT GOING TO SAY I'M SUPPORTING HER. I'M OPPOSING. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE. THAT'S HERE BECAUSE THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY SPEAKING BOTH WAYS AFTER ME. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. GOOD SIR. ANY QUESTIONS? EXCUSE ME ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SPEAKER? MR CARTER. THANK YOU ASKING THEM ALL WELL, DIDN'T I? YOU DID A GREAT JOB. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS BARBARA JOHNSON. EVENING, MA'AM CAN GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD PLACE WILL AND I TIMED MY SPEECH AT THREE MINUTES FIVE SECONDS AT HOME IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR, SO I'M SERIOUS TOO ABOUT THIS. OKAY

[00:50:05]

THE APPEARANCE AND SCREENING FROM VIEWS OF CENTERVILLE AND MILLER, WHICH WE'VE HEARD SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THAT SOCIAL SERVICES, IMPACT AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND POLICE, FIRE SCHOOLS AND MEDICAL EMERGENCY SERVICES. THERE IS NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO THIS RENTAL COMMUNITY, THE NEAREST DART STATION AND ROLL. IT IS A FEW MILES AWAY, AND THERE IS NO BUS ROUTE. SO ARE WE PREPARED FOR ADDITIONAL VEHICLES AND DENSITY . AS A RESULT, LIKELY 1 TO 2 CARS PER UNIT. CONSISTENCY AND STABILITY DUE TO OWNERSHIP CHANGES BECAUSE THESE ARE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS HELD FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OF MAYBE 2 TO 5 YEARS BASED ON SOME HISTORICAL INFORMATION, SO WHY HERE? WHY THE URGENCY NOW SIMPLY TO SAY WE NEED MORE RENTALS IS NOT ACCURATE. THE MEDIA WILL TELL YOU WE NEED MORE HOUSING MARKET STUDIES WILL TELL YOU THAT SOME PEOPLE DESIRE OWNERSHIP BUT ARE CHALLENGED BY CURRENT BARRIERS. WE KNOW THAT DFW IS EXPERIENCING A POPULATION BOOM THAT RESULTS IN MANY PEOPLE POINTS WITH FLUCTUATING SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUES OF A MACRO AND MICRO NATURE. WE NEED MORE TAX PAYING HOMEOWNERS INVESTED IN OUR COMMUNITY, NOT INVESTMENT PROPERTIES, OFFERING SHORT TERM GAINS. SO IN CLOSING, I ASK, ARE WE BUILDING FOR A PERCEIVED DESPERATE PRESENT OR A THOUGHTFUL FUTURE? I'M AN OPPOSITION TO THE ZONING CHANGE AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SPEAKER? NO, OKAY. YOU WERE VERY GOOD ON YOUR TIMING. I WAS YOU WERE ALMOST YOU WERE VERY CLOSE. YES. YOU HOLD BACK, SPEAKER, PLEASE. OUR NEXT PIECE OF SPEAKERS, NANCY CLICK. MA'AM IF YOU COULD GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES, NANCY CLICK 22. OH, ONE ROYAL CREST. DR GARLAND. VERY GOOD IS NOT GOING TO BE AS ELOQUENT AS BUT ANYWAY, THAT RENDERING THAT WE HAD JUST BEFORE THIS PICTURE OF THE IMMUNITY. YES ONLY SEE ONE EXIT OFF OF THAT IS THAT THE ONE FOR ONLY 100 HOMES. OR IS THAT THE ONE SHOWING THE 300 BRING THE SIDE UP TO THE SHOWS THE SIDE? I BELIEVE THERE? THERE ARE THREE EXIT THERE TO DOWN AT THE VERY BOTTOM AND THEN ONE OVER TO THE SIDE. AND SO THIS IS THE 300. THIS IS SHOWING 300 HOMES IN THIS AND IN READING YOUR PROPOSAL. THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO SWIMMING POOLS. WHERE IS THE SECOND POOL? THERE'S JUST ONE OKAY. I READ WHERE THERE WAS GOING TO BE TOO. OKAY MY PROBLEM WITH THIS, I LOOKED ONLINE AND I THOUGHT IT LOOKED NICE. YOU KNOW, THE YARD HOMES, I THINK IS WHAT THEY CALL IT. I THOUGHT IT LOOKED PRETTY NICE. I DO HAVE CONCERNS WITH TRAFFIC. THAT'S MY MAIN CONCERN. WHEN I MOVED HERE, WE DID NOT HAVE 1 90. AND WE

[00:55:08]

YOU'RE LOOKING AT POINT. NINE POINT SOMETHING. PER UNIT OF GETTING OUT ON THE TRAFFIC DURING THE WEEK, AND I FIGURED MY NUMBER'S UP AND I KIND OF DIDN'T PUT HIS MANY AS WE'RE ON THERE, BECAUSE THE TWO BEDROOM YOU'RE SAYING OKAY, DOUBLE DOUBLE WHAT I HAD FOR A ONE UNIT, THREE BEDROOMS, TRIPLE. IF YOU HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING IN THESE HOUSES. THEY COULD BE HAVING SIX PEOPLE. IN A THREE BEDROOM, SO YOU'VE JUST, YOU KNOW, INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF USAGE ON THE ROAD AND FROM JUST MY NUMBERS I'M HAVING DURING THE WEEKDAY. CARS DRIVING. OF ABOUT ALMOST 5000 DURING THE WEEKDAY. AND ALMOST FIVE SATURDAY AND ALMOST 5000 ON SUNDAYS, JUST FROM THIS ONE COMPLEX GETTING OUT ON THE ROAD. AND. THAT'S JUST TOO MUCH TRAFFIC FOR US. WE WERE SO PLEASED WHEN 1 90 OPENED AND IT REDUCED THAT TRAFFIC. OKAY TWO MORE THINGS. SEWAGE WHEN THE NEW UM SUBDIVISION GOT BUILT OVER THERE BY ME. THEY DIDN'T. THEY DIDN'T PLAN FOR THE SEWAGE. Y'ALL HAD TO BUILD NEW SEWAGE DUMP STATIONS OR WHATEVER BEHIND METAL CREST JUST ACCOMMODATE. THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY WERE HAVING FROM THIS NEW SUBDIVISION. AND THEN THE LAST THING, UM WATER. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT WATER INTO OUR COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW YOU YOU HEAR ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER COMMUNITIES AROUND WHERE THEY HAVE TO BOIL WATER, JUST IN, UM WHAT'S THE NAME OF THAT PLACE? GOING RIGHT BEFORE CAROL. 40. BARNEY YOU KNOW, SO THOSE ARE THINGS WE'VE GOT TO CONSIDER. I LIKE THIS. BUT I THINK 300 UNITS IS TOO MUCH. I REALLY DO. OKAY THANK YOU, MA'AM . ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SPEAKER? VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, MA'AM. OUR NEXT AND FINAL SPEAKER IS JOHN BLAIR. GOOD EVENING HERE, COUNSEL, SIR. YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

JOHN BLAIR 2017 ROYAL CREST DRIVE. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. AND I DIDN'T KNOW THIS MEETING WAS GOING TO EXIST. SO I'M NOT PREPARED WITH ANYTHING, HOWEVER. LOVELY LADIES. DID A FANTASTIC JOB. ARE THEY NOT? THEY DID THE RESEARCH. TAKE OUT THE NUMBERS FOR YOU. AND THEY'VE EXPRESSED THE SAME CONCERNS. DID I HAVE? THE. ONLY OTHER THING I MENTIONED IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A STUDY DONE ABOUT ROOFTOPS. OF LIKE DENSITY. AND THE DEVELOPERS IF I HEARD RIGHT, SAID IT'S. COMPARABLE OR NOT, NOT ANY CAUSE FOR CONCERN. BUT IF WE DIDN'T AERIAL SURVEY FROM UP THERE AND DOWN THERE. THAT DENSITY IS WAY MORE. THEN. EXISTS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK. I'M NOT AN ENGINEER. SO WHAT DO I KNOW? AND THE TRAFFIC. TRAFFIC WILL BE PROBLEM. UM JUST TODAY I WAS REROUTED FROM, UM COMING BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL. BECAUSE OF CLOSING OF THE RAILROAD CROSSING ON CENTERVILLE. SO I HAD TO REROUTE DOWN AND COME IN FROM THE OTHER SIDE. TO MY HOUSE. AND THE TRAFFIC JUST FROM BEING REROUTED. FROM THAT CLOSED CROSSING. IT WAS A LOT YEAH. AIN'T NO 300. 600 900 CARS. PARDON I THINK TRAVIS IS GONNA

[01:00:08]

CONSTRUCTION. HOW LONG WILL THEY BE? ON SITE. WHAT WOULD BE ONE YEAR TWO YEARS? THREE YEARS? FIVE YEARS. AFTER THEY LEAVE. ANOTHER MANAGEMENT COMPANY IS GOING TO COME IN. WELL THEY HAVE THE SAME DEDICATION, AS HAS BEEN INDICATED TONIGHT. I DON'T THINK SO. WE'VE SEEN APARTMENTS. GO FROM BEING NICE LOOKING APARTMENTS, BUT THE MANAGEMENT TEAM CHANGES GOES DOWN. I DON'T THINK THIS PROJECT IS THE RIGHT THING FOR GARLAND. I JUST REALLY DON'T THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SPEAKER? QUESTION. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS OUR LAST SPEAKER. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SAYING DONE, I WILL IF YOU GOT OBVIOUSLY I'VE MADE SOME QUICK NOTES OF JUST SOME OF THE HIGH POINTS IF YOU WANT TO ADDRESS UM, I THINK SOME OF THEM I THINK SOME OF THEM YOU HAVE, UH. I THINK SO. YOU HAVE ADDRESSED BUT ONE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, SITE SELECTION. YOU GO THROUGH A PROCESS FOR SITE SELECTION. UM AND YOU'RE GOING TO BASE THAT ON RENTAL DATA AND OCCUPANCY RATES. CAN YOU DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION THERE, MR MAYOR? I WISH I COULD ELABORATE MORE. THAT'S THE DIFFERENT PART OF THE TEAM THAT I'M NOT, BUT ABSOLUTELY THEY GO THROUGH THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND WE DO USE BOTH INTERNAL AND THIRD PARTY SERVICES FOR STUDIES FOR THE ROOFTOPS AND FOUR DEMAND FOR THE PRODUCT. OKAY? UM. AND OBVIOUSLY IN THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW SOMETHING WE HEAR QUITE OFTEN THE TREND OF HOMEOWNERSHIP VERSUS RENTAL RENTING. I MEAN, IS THAT IN YOUR CONSIDERATIONS AS WELL, I'M GOING TO DEFER A LITTLE BIT TO MY PARTNER HERE. HELLO, JIM CAMPBELL AND I PROMISED TO FILL OUT A CARD AS WELL, BECAUSE I'LL SEND ONE OF THESE COPS AFTER YOU PROMISE IT TO DO THAT. UM YEAH, AS FAR AS FAR AS RENTAL GOES, IT'S BECOMING BECAUSE OF THE MISSING MIDDLE. IT'S BECOMING A BIG, BIGGER AND BIGGER DEAL. THIS PRODUCT IS IN PHOENIX AND PHOENIX, PHOENIX ABOUT 45% OF THE TENANTS, TENANTS ARE EMPTY NESTERS. SO THEY'RE OVER 50 55 THEY KIND OF LOOK LIKE ME. THEY ARE YOUNG MILLENNIALS. THEY'RE OLDER PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO SIMPLIFY THEIR LIFE. MY WIFE. IF SHE COULD, SHE WOULD MOVE INTO THIS IN A SECOND. I CAN'T GIVE GIVE GIVE UP OUR DOGS AND OUR CATS AND OUR CHICKENS, SO I CAN'T DO THAT. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE RENTALS. IT'S BECOMING KIND OF THE WAY TO DO THINGS, BUT IT'S NOT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY.

THE OLD FASHIONED AND JUST CREATING A, YOU KNOW A SMALL ROOM AND YOU'RE RUNNING IT OUT OR 44 PLAQUES ARE RENTS ARE 25% HIGHER THAN CLASS A MULTI FAMILY IT'S NOT CHEAP. IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT 600 BUCKS MORE THAN A GREAT MULTI FAMILY PLACE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET. BUT IT'S ALSO 500 TO 7 50 LESS THAN HOMEOWNERSHIP. BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE PROPERTY TAXES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. IT'S ALL BUILT INTO THE RENT. SO YEP, THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. THANK YOU. OTHER POINTS THAT WERE BROUGHT YOU MAKING NOTES AS WELL. SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS SCHOOLS, VERY SMALL IMPACT ON SCHOOLS, THE NUMBER OF UNITS WITH SMALL KIDS IN OUR PROJECTS OR 5. IT'S A VERY SMALL BECAUSE 50% OF OUR UNITS ARE ONE BEDROOMS. THERE ARE THREE BEDROOMS. THERE ARE FOUR BEDROOMS. THERE ARE ONE BEDROOMS. AND SO WE TEND NOT TO IMPACT SCHOOLS AT ALL. UM AS FAR AS HOLD TIME. OUR PARTNER IS BEING CAPITAL. UM BANK CAPITAL DOES ALL THEIR STUFF IN A REIT. HANG ON ONE SECOND, MR ENGLAND, MR. MAYOR. LET'S NOT I JUST ASKED THE COUNCIL NOT TO CONSIDER MANAGEMENT AND WHO'S GONNA MANAGER MANAGING THE FUTURE WHEN THEY MAKE THE DECISION AND THAT THAT SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR IN THE DECISION THAT COUNCIL REACHES TONIGHT. SO UM, I'M AT THE WITNESS WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THAT. THAT'S HIS TIME. BUT THAT IS NOT A FACTOR THAT THIS COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER TONIGHT. WELL THERE THERE THERE ARE READ AND THEY TEND TO HOLD FOR 77 PLUS YEARS, SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE

[01:05:05]

AH YOU KNOW, I THINK ONCE WE GET SORT OF THE FINALS ON THE TRAFFIC, I THINK THAT THAT KIND OF COVERED I MEAN SOME OF THE SOME OF THE ISSUES ADDRESSED. YOU KNOW OUR CITY INFRASTRUCTURE, WATER, SEWER UTILITIES, WHICH OBVIOUSLY I THINK WE'VE WE'RE WELL, WHERE WILL WE ARE WELL PREPARED FOR THIS POINT, SO IT'S THEIR STUFF. AND I THINK WE'VE WE'VE GOT A LOT OF ENGINEERS DOWN FRONT HERE. CRUNCHING NUMBERS WILL COME BACK TO THAT. WHAT YOU GUYS CRUNCH. IN THE MEANTIME, COUNCILOR WILLIAMS. THANK THANK YOU, MAYOR. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE SPEAKER OF THE STAFF QUESTION. MAYOR. OKAY? WHAT IS MR LOKI? HE'S ALSO CRUNCHING NUMBERS. YES, I NOTICED HIS FINGERS ARE MOVING, NOT CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS. I'VE JUST LOOKED THERE. OKAY THANKS. THANKS, SARAH. AS THE MAYOR SAID , THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION NIGHT ABOUT TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC STUDIES. AND ALL OF THAT. FROM FROM. UM FROM YOU AND YOUR TEAM, PERSPECTIVE ANY ANY ANY THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS, ADVICE ON THE ISSUE OF TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC IMPACT OF THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. SURE RESPECTED. UM THE TOTAL TRIPS THAT THE SITE IS GOING TO GENERATE JUST JUST UNDER 2000 TRIPS A DAY. THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF EVERY EVERY WEEKDAY. UM THE TOTAL I THINK 11 OF THE THINGS WAS ASKED WAS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TRIPS DURING THE PEAK HOUR. 146. ABOUT NINE YEARS, SO IN THE PEAK DIRECTION YOU KNOW CENTERVILLE CARRIES OVER. I DIDN'T. I DIDN'T PULL THAT NUMBER OUT. BUT IT'S CLOSE TO 30,000 CARS A DAY BETWEEN 20 30,000 CARS A DAY. MILLER'S PROBABLY CLOSER TO 20,000 CARS A DAY SO THIS. IT'S NOT A SMALL NUMBER OF TRIPS. I DON'T WANT TO MINIMIZE IT, BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S CERTAINLY WITHIN THE CAPACITY OF

[01:10:02]

THANK YOU, MAYOR. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT, FOLKS, UM. IF YOU'VE GOT IF YOU'VE GOT ANY INFORMATION ON THIS OTHER THAN WHAT WE'VE JUST HEARD GREAT. OTHERWISE I THINK WE'RE. I THINK WE'RE READY TO MOVE ON, AND IT'S HARD TO CONVEY WITHOUT A SPECIFIC YEAH, THE LEVEL OF CERTAIN THERE'S A TABLE WITH DIFFERENT STUDY POINTS AND DIFFERENT LEVEL OF SERVICE LOCATIONS SO I CAN WRITE. OKAY THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE ON THE SPOT. AH, MAN. I'M SORRY.

WE'RE YEAH, THANK YOU. IN HERE. RIGHT. THANK YOU, MA'AM. ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? AS WE SUM UP HERE. RIGHT THANK YOU. ALL FOR THE PRESENTATIONS.

OK, THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM SO I HAVE MET WITH MY CONSTITUENTS IN DISTRICT TWO, WHICH IS NORTH OF MILLER IN THAT AREA AND ACROSS CENTERVILLE . UM WE MET. I MET WITH THEM EARLY ON, AND WE WENT OVER ALL THESE DETAILS, AND I DO APPRECIATE THE APPLICANTS, FLEXIBILITY AND FINDING WAYS TO BEST, UM BE GOOD NEIGHBORS. TO THE NEAREST NEIGHBORS. THE NEAREST NEIGHBORS ARE, UM IN THE H O A CROSS CENTERVILLE. AND I HAVE APPRECIATED THEIR FLEXIBILITY AND BEING WILLING TO CHANGE THEIR PLANS FOR ORNAMENTAL WROUGHT IRON FENCING AND HEAVY LANDSCAPING TO A SCREENING. WHAT MASONRY SCREENING WALL ALONG MILLER AND DEFERENCE TO THE CITIZENS SOUTH OF MILLER, UM AND THE DENSITY, WHICH IS, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS SOMEBODY BROUGHT UP WITH THE ENVISIONED GARLAND PLAN. THIS IS ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY LESS THAN EVEN WITH ENVISIONED THERE. SO UM, I AM CONTENT WITH THIS. WE ALREADY HAVE THE PARK HOUSE THAT'S ON IN. PROCESS IN NORTH GARLAND THAT SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THIS SINGLE FAMILY STYLE, MULTI FAMILY. I PERSONALLY LIKE THIS STYLING BETTER I'M ALLOWED TO. IT'S MY DISTRICT. UM SO I DO SUPPORT THIS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY CONSTITUENTS AND THEY ARE CONTENT WITH IT. SO MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE IF YOU'RE READY TO TAKE A MOTION, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE APPROVAL FOR THIS PROJECT AS PRESENTED I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED ON ITEMS EIGHT A AND EIGHT B BY MAYOR PRO TEM MORRIS WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR MORE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. MADAM SECRETARY. IF YOU COMPARE THE VOTE FORCE AGAIN, THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE. COUNCIL. AND DISPLAY THE BOOK, PLEASE. AND THIS ITEM IS APPROVED WITH EIGHT WITH DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM SMITH IN OPPOSITION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO OUR NEXT CASE. THIS ONE ALSO HAS TWO PARTS. THIS IS EIGHT C. CONSIDER

[Items 8c & 8d]

[01:15:05]

OUTLINED HERE THERE ARE TWO BUILDINGS ON THE SITE IS ALL ONE PROPERTY. ALONG FOREST LANE. IT IS SURROUNDED BY OTHER INDUSTRIAL ZONING AND GENERAL INDUSTRIAL AND WAREHOUSING TYPE USES. THE COMFORTS OF PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS SUBJECT SIDE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA TO THE NORTH, SOUTH AND WEST AS TRANSIT. ORIENTED CENTERS. AND GIVEN SOME OF THE LANGUAGE AND THAT, UM, DESCRIBED AS AREAS OF CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY, INCREASED DENSITY WITH MAXIMUM ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS. LIVE WORK, PLAY SHOP OPPORTUNITIES. START STAFF FINDS AUTO SALES GENERALLY INCOMPATIBLE WITH THAT DESIGNATION. HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON THE TOP. LEFT HAND PHOTO THERE. AND HERE'S THE SITE PLAN. THE APPLICANT IS NOT PROPOSING ANY SITE IMPROVEMENTS ARE BUILDING EXPANSIONS. IT IS SIMPLY ADDING THE AUTO SALES OPERATION. IT MEETS THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS OF THE G D. C 37 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND 44 ARE PROVIDED AND THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE SALES. AND OPERATION, WHETHER IT'S UM RETAIL OR WHOLESALE, WHICH WE'LL GET INTO. BUT EITHER WAY, IT DOES MEET THE GDC PARKING STANDARDS. THE APPLICANT REQUEST THE S U. P TIME PERIOD TO BE IN EFFECT FOR 15 YEARS. STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS DENIAL , GIVEN THE INCOMPATIBILITY OF THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN DESIGNATION. HOWEVER, THE PLANE COMMISSION DURING THE NOVEMBER.

7TH MEETING, UM RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WITH AN 8 TO 0 VOTE OF THE S U P IN THE PLAN, HOWEVER, THE PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY WHOLESALE AUTOMOBILE SALES CAN OCCUR AT THE LOCATION . NO RETAIL AUTOMOBILE SALES ARE PERMITTED DURING THE HEARING. THE APPLICANT, UM TESTIFIED IN FRONT OF THE PLAN COMMISSION SAID THEY WILL, UM UH, HAVE THE SALES WHOLESALE ONLY SO IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WOULD SELL DIRECTLY TO ANOTHER DEALER OR AN AUCTION RATHER THAN JUST ANYONE COMING ONTO THE SIDE AND, UM, BUYING A CAR AS A NORMAL RETAIL OPERATION WOULD BE SO THE PLAN COMMISSION CONCURRED WITH THAT WITH THAT OFFER BY THE APPLICANT. SO THE AGAIN THE RECOMMENDATION IS WHOLESALE. ONLY THE S U. P CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN THE DRAFT S U P CONDITIONS THAT IS IN THE PACKAGE OF BEEN MODIFIED TO REFLECT THAT, AND THE COMMISSION ALSO RECOMMENDED TO REMOVE THE FIVE DESIGNATED PARKING SPACES FOR RETAIL AUTOMOBILE SALES. THE SITE PLAN THAT I SHOWED UP JUST SHOWED A MINUTE AGO HAD FIVE PARTICULAR SPACES SHOWING AUTOMOBILE SALES. SO THEY APPLICANTS SIMPLY REMOVE THAT DESIGNATION, AND THE APPLICANT IS ALSO AGREED NOT TO HAVE, UM, DISPLAY STICKERS FOR SALE PRICE TAG STICKERS ON THE VEHICLES ON THE SITE. AND THEY CAN, OF COURSE, EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THAT. THEY'RE HERE THIS EVENING, BUT, UM, MAYOR WE MAILED OUT 19. NOTIFICATION LETTERS, AND WE RECEIVED ONLY ONE RESPONSE AND THAT WAS IN FAVOR OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA. BE GLAD TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. ANY ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YES, COUNSELOR RIVERA. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM WELL, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE PLAN. RIGHT THERE. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO DESIGNATE THE CARS. DO THEY HAVE A CERTAIN AREA? THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT OR IS IT GOING TO BE ANYWHERE? UM THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. IT'S A IT'S A GOOD QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT TO BACK UP A LITTLE. DURING THE REVIEW PROCESS AND LEADING UP TO PLAN COMMISSIONER AT THE HEARING . I BELIEVE THEY HAD DESIGNATED THESE FIVE SPACES OVER HERE.

CLOSEST TO INTERNATIONAL AS AUTOMOBILE SALES. THE REASON WAS AS A RETAIL OPERATOR, THE DMV.

THE STATE OF TEXAS REQUIRES AT LEAST FIVE AUTOMOBILE SPACES ON SITE, BUT SHIFTING THE WHOLESALE . THE STATE OF TEXAS DMV DOES NOT REQUIRE THE FIVE MINIMUM SPACES. SO WITH THE COMBINATION OF THAT, AND THE PLANE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION THEY SIMPLY REMOVE THAT DESIGNATION, SO I'LL HAVE TO DEFER TO THE APPLICANT AS TO WHETHER THEY'LL ANY VEHICLES THAT ARE FOR SALE, WHETHER THEY'LL KEEP THEM IN A PARTICULAR PLACE ON THE SITE OR OR OR NOT SO. THIS STORY IN, UH, WHERE THEY DO THIS? RADIO AND ALL THAT, RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? YES, SIR.

BUT THE J C COLLISION IS ON THE LEFT. RIGHT? IT'S UM TWO DIFFERENT. IT'S ALL ONE PROPERTY

[01:20:06]

THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THERE ABOUT SIGN. I JUST COULDN'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS. THANK YOU.

CASPER BASS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. WILL CAN YOU GO TO THE SLIDE OR YOU TALKED ABOUT WHOLESALE VERSUS RETAIL? UM. YOU KNOW, I WAS I WRITTEN ON THERE WHERE YOU JUST TALK TO SLIDE ON THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IT. I COULDN'T FIND IT EITHER. THAT OKAY, SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME? UM WHAT IS IT? UH, UM, SO WHAT IS IT? THE STAFF FEELS WHOLESALE IS MORE DESIRABLE THAN RETAIL. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE THERE AS FAR AS DESIRABILITY FOR WELL, GARLAND, I GUESS TO BE CLEAR STAFF DIDN'T TECHNICALLY CHANGE OUR RECOMMENDATION. IT'S STILL BUT BUT THE PLAN COMMISSION YES. THANK COMMISSIONER. I'M SORRY. YEAH CAN DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT WHAT IT IS A PLAN COMMISSION FELT MAKE THE MADE THE WHOLESALE MORE DESIRABLE THAN RETAIL. I SUPPOSE, UM, I HATE TO SPECULATE , BUT I SUPPOSE IT'S A LITTLE MORE, UM UM, INCONSPICUOUS AND THAT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE THE DISPLAY STICKERS. IT'S KIND OF AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AND THE APPLICANT CAN EXPAND ON THIS, BUT, UM THE CAR IS UNDER REPAIR . ONCE THEY'RE READY TO BE SOLD TO A DEALER OR AUCTION. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ADVERTISED AS SUCH THE DEALER, WHOEVER KIND OF COMES ON THE SIDE AND DOES THE BUSINESS TRANSACTION, AND THEN THE CAR IS TAKEN OFF. SO IT'S I GUESS A LITTLE MORE LESS OBVIOUS THAT IT'S AUTO SALES. OKAY AND YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE, UM DISPLAYS ON THE VEHICLES THEMSELVES, I THINK, BUT ARE THERE ANY, UM, ANY OTHER SIGNAGE RESTRICTIONS FOR THE WHOLESALE? VERSUS THE RETAIL AWARE OF OTHER THAN THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SIGN THAT THE MAYOR MENTIONED A FEW MINUTES AGO, THERE MAY BE A AND AS I RECALL, IT WAS A WINDOW ASSIGNED THAT THEY NEEDED TO DISPLAY THE SHOW THAT THEY HAVE KIND OF A DMV PERMIT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THERE MAY BE SOMETHING ALONG THAT, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE.

UM UM I DON'T REMEMBER THAT TYPE OF SIGN BEING REAL VISIBLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF THE STREET VIEW, BUT I'LL CERTAINLY DEFER TO THE APPLICANT TO EXPAND ON THAT A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF ANY SIGNAGE THAT THEY EXPECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND JUST TO, UM BECAUSE I WAS THINKING WHAT THE SAME THING? UM COUNCIL MEMBER VERA WAS THINKING, YOU KNOW, WANT TO LOOK THIS UP. ONE OF THEM SAYS IT'S A STEREO SHOP, AND THE OTHER ONE IS A REPAIR SHOP. SO YOU'RE SAYING THIS IS ALL ONE PROPERTY? IT'S ALL THE SAME BUSINESS IT IS. YES, SIR. OKAY ALRIGHT. THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE IT. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO. SORRY. CONSIDER RIVERA. SORRY. IT'S NOT ALL ONE LOCATIONS. IN ONE BLOCK. OKAY? I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT ALL RIGHT? VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR CHAIRMAN. MADAM SECRETARY. WE HAVE SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM. WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER CARD FOR THE APPLICANT. ARUM'S HARDER. COME DOWN, PLEASE. AND, UH. GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD WILL GIVE YOU 10 MINUTES TO MAKE A PRESENTATION OR JUST SIMPLY ANSWER QUESTIONS. GOOD EVENING, BARON. THANK YOU, COUNSEL. UM FOR LETTING ME REPRESENTATIVE. I DON'T HAVE ANY PRESENTATION OR ANYTHING, BUT I HEARD YOUR QUESTIONS AND WHAT I CAN DO IS I CAN EXPLAIN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

SO YES. UH MR VERA IS RIGHT. THERE ARE TWO PROPERTIES. ONE IS A STEREO SHOP IN THE BACK IS THE REPAIR SHOP AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE ASKING TO YOU TO ADD THE S U P FOR A HOTEL DEALERSHIP

[01:25:04]

THEIR BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THE TRAFFIC DESIGN EGE AND THE DISPLAYS ON THE CARD. THE WHOLESALE FROM THE DMV SIDE DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY OF THAT. THAT IS WHY THERE ARE NO FIVE SPOTS THAT NEEDS TO BE MARKED AS AUTO SALES. FROM THE DMV BECAUSE WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH CONSUMERS OFF THE STREET. WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IS WE DO PAINT AND BODY. WE HAVE A BODY SHOP THERE AND WE HAVE A PAINT BOOTH IN THAT REPAIR FACILITY. AND A LOT OF TIMES WE GET CARS THAT GET DRAGGED ON THE HIGHWAYS AND PEOPLE GET THEM DROPPED TO OUR LOCATION, AND THEN THEY JUST SIT THERE BECAUSE EITHER THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THEM OR THEY CAN'T . THEY DON'T HAVE INSURANCE OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. AND IN THAT CASE, WE LOSE MONEY AS A BUSINESS AND YOU KNOW, BUSINESS DOESN'T STAY IN EXISTENCE. IF YOU DON'T MAKE MONEY, SO THE REASON WHY WE'RE REQUESTING FOR A WHOLESALE IS BECAUSE I HAVE THE RESOURCES TO FIX THE CAR, BUT THEN I CANNOT SELL IT TO THE RETAIL. AT LEAST I CAN AUCTION IT OFF AND GAIN THAT MONEY THAT I LOST IN THAT WAY. ALSO DURING THE TIMES, WHEN, UM YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RECESSION. UM A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T COME TO BRING THEIR CARS FOR BODY AND PAIN BECAUSE THAT'S BEAUTIFICATION. THAT'S YOU KNOW , IF THEY'RE STRUGGLING ALREADY , THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. SO HOW DO I RETAIN MY EMPLOYEES ? SO THAT WAS WHY WHEN WE DECIDED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF OPTIONS THAT WE CAN BUY THE CARS, BRING THEM AND FIX THEM AND FLIP THEM DIRECTLY BACK TO THE AUCTION. SO THE THIS IS GOING TO BE BUSINESS AS USUAL, NOT REQUESTING ANY CHANGE IN THE PLANS. NOTHING THE PARKING WILL BE USED WITH THE SAME PARKING. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE THING IS, BUT ON THE BACK, YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A LOT OF PARKING SPOTS WHERE THE CURRENTLY THE CARS ARE THERE THAT ARE THERE FOR REPAIRS , AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING WE WOULD BE REUSING. UM AS FAR AS PEOPLE COMING TO THE LOT TO SEE THE CARS THAT'S VERY RARE IN HOTEL BUSINESS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHY THE D M V DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE A BIG SIGN. THE ONLY REQUIREMENT FROM THE DMV IS TO HAVE JUST AN OFFICE LOCATION MARKED WHICH ALREADY IS AS A JUICY COLLISION AND HOURS OF OPERATION. BUT THAT IS ALSO JUST FOR THEIR PURPOSES. DON'T CONSUMER IS COMING THROUGH. WE'RE JUST BASICALLY SIMPLY TAKING THE CARS TO THE AUCTION. SO IF THAT ANSWERS EVERYBODY'S QUESTION OR I CAN TAKE MORE IF YOU HAVE ANY VERY GOOD PRO TIM MORRIS, THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND THANK YOU FOR COMING UP AND SHARING THAT, UM SO SINCE YOU ORIGINALLY CAME IN NOT ASKING FOR WHOLESALE. YOU CAME IN ASKING FOR RETAIL. SO THAT WAS THE PLAN. DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH WHOLESALE AUTO SALES? IS THAT ANYTHING YOU'VE DONE IN THE PAST? YES, MA'AM, ARE WE I AM A DEALER LICENSE SINCE 2010. SO I USED TO DO THIS A LONG TIME. LIKE YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN USING IT. THAT'S WHY WE WENT INTO REPAIR AND BODY BECAUSE WE WERE DEALERS. WE WERE SMALL DEALERS, AND WE COULDN'T FIND HONEST REPAIR PEOPLE. SO THAT'S WHY WE GOT OUR OWN GARAGE AND WE STARTED DOING STARTED FLIPPING OUR CARS LIKE THAT. BUT BACK THEN THE M V DID NOT REQUIRE A C 02 SAYS AUTO SALES.

SO ARE WE EVEN HAD A DEALERSHIP LICENSE? AND I EXPLAINED IT TO THE STAFF ON THE CALL THIS MORNING. I HAVE ANOTHER LOCATION ON WALNUT STREET, WHICH IS A RETAIL RESIDENTIAL AND I CARRIED THAT DEALER LICENSE RETAIL DEALER LICENSE THERE FOR PAST TWO YEARS. BUT WHEN THEY CHANGE THE RULES, AND THE CEO HAS TO BE AUTO SALES WE DID. WE KNEW THAT CITY IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT BECAUSE THAT'S THE RETAIL RESIDENTIAL. BUT IN THAT TWO YEARS WE NEVER DISPLAYED ANY CARS. UM, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A RETAIL DEALER LICENSE, WE DIDN'T DO THAT. WE NORMALLY LIKE TO WORK LIKE A WHOLESALE BECAUSE IT'S FASTER. LIKE I SAID, MY MAIN CONCERN IS TO RETAIN MY EMPLOYEES. NOT REALLY. YOU KNOW , TO FLIP CARS AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, AND THE WAY WE HAVE DONE BUSINESS IN THE PAST, IT'S ACTUALLY HARDER TO DO DEAL WITH RETAILERS ACTUALLY EASIER FOR US AS A BUSINESS PEOPLE TO JUST FLIP THE CARS THROUGH THE AUTO AUCTION BECAUSE WE HAVE LESS LIABILITY. OKAY? AND IT FOR YOU TO SELL CARS AT AN AUCTION. I'M ASSUMING THAT A DEALER LICENSES REQUIRED. YOU CAN'T JUST AS AN INDIVIDUAL. YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY IT WITHOUT A DEALER LICENSE SO YOU CAN BUY IT. YOU CAN'T SELL IT. YOU CAN'T DO ANY OF THAT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND COUNCILOR RIVERA. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM BETWEEN YOU AND THE OTHER. COMPONENT OR.

WOULD YOU CALL IT? STEROID SHOTS? YEAH GET ALONG AND EVERYTHING IN THERE. YES, SIR.

[01:30:06]

I DON'T MIND, BUT I WOULD LIKE IT BECAUSE IF I'M GOING TO, YOU KNOW, INVEST IN THE LICENSE AND DO THAT I WOULD LIKE TO CARRY ON THE BUSINESS. BUT IT'S TO THE COUNCIL MEAN, HOWEVER YOU LIKE IT. THERE WAS NO EXPLORATION. THERE WAS NO LIMIT, SO I SAID 15 , BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO BE IN BUSINESS FOR THAT LONG. BUT OKAY , SO THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE FOR YOU KNOW, SIR. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. OKAY. ANY EXCUSE ME ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? HAS HE KNOWN? THANK YOU, MA'AM. APPRECIATE IT. IS THERE? I BELIEVE THAT WAS HER ONLY SPEAKER. CORRECT. YES SIR.
