SO BUT WE'RE ALL A LITTLE OLDER NOW AND YOU KNOW, FOUR YEARS AGO. MY FIRST INAUGURAL SPEECH. I CAME IN WITH THE PASSING OF THE 2019 BOND ELECTION, AND THAT WAS QUITE A BIG DEAL. OF COURSE.

I'VE ONLY MISSED ONE COUNCIL MEETING. AND THAT WAS THE BECAUSE HE WAS BEING BORN ON THE COUNCIL MEETING, AND IT'S ALSO AN EXCUSE. EXCUSE THE ABSENCE. YES. IT'S A. A JOKE THAT HE WASN'T BORN UNTIL THE NEXT DAY, SO I COULD HAVE ACTUALLY MADE THAT MEETING AND, YOU KNOW BUT I THINK MY WIFE WOULD HAVE IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE 11.

THANKS, GIRLS. HMM. ALRIGHT LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST. DISTRICT EIGHT. UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERT JOHN SMITH. AND ALL WEEK I'VE BEEN TRYING TO COME UP WITH A CLEVER WAY TO SAY THAT AH, ROBERT IS NOT THE SMARTEST COUNCIL MEMBER I'VE EVER SERVED WITH. HE IS THE MOST INTELLIGENT. YES HE'S SMART, BUT FAR BEYOND THAT, HE IS HIS INTELLIGENCE, HIS INSIGHT, HIS COMPASSION HAS JUST BEEN AMAZING TO WATCH OVER SIX YEARS. UM AND YOU KNOW, I WILL PROBABLY GET IN TROUBLE WITH OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO HAVE GONE OFF THE COUNCIL. UM, BUT I AM. I AM GOING TO MISS COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH. MAYBE MORE THAN I MISS SOME OTHERS WHO HAVE LEFT COUNCIL. I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A BAD WAY. I JUST MEAN I JUST MEAN THAT COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH HAS AN AMAZING ABILITY TO ANALYZE DATA. AND. NOT JUST SPIT OUT. NONSENSE FROM THE ANALYSIS HE CAN. HE CAN TAKE EXCEPTIONALLY COMPLEX PROBLEMS. INCREDIBLE SUMS OF MONEY. AND HE CAN SOMETIMES AND WE WITNESSED THIS LAST NIGHT. SOMETIMES WITHIN MINUTES, HE CAN. HE CAN PUT OUT A PLAN OR AN IDEA. AND THAT IS SOMETHING I AM CERTAINLY GOING TO MISS. AND YOU KNOW, I HAD TWO EXPERIENCES YESTERDAY ONE BEFORE OUR MEETING . ROBERT AND I WERE JUST THIS ROOM IS EMPTY AND WE WERE JUST SITTING IN HERE TALKING. JUST TALKING. PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A LONG TIME. WE CAN JUST CHAT JUST TALKING. UM, AND THEN A FEW HOURS LATER, IN OUR WORK SAYS ACTUALLY IN OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE HAD A PROBLEM DISCUSSION GOING ON THAT QUITE FRANKLY, UH, WE WERE

[00:50:05]

THANK YOU. WE CELEBRATED OUR 19TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY OR WE SHOULD HAVE LAST NIGHT DURING WORK SESSION, BUT SHE. AND THIS IS MY DAUGHTER, LAUREN. AND MY MOTHER IS HIDING IN THE BACK VIDEOTAPING SO. MAYOR COUNCIL CITY STAFF CITIZENS OF GARLAND. THIS IS THE LAST TIME I GET TO SPEAK TO YOU FROM THIS SIDE OF THE PODIUM. AND LET ME SAY THAT A DIFFERENT WAY FOR THE FOLKS BEHIND ME. THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE TIME I WILL BE SPEAKING. FROM THIS SIDE OF THE PODIUM. I'M WATCHING YOU. WELL, I STILL HAVE THE MIC. I'D LIKE TO SHARE A FEW THINGS THAT I'VE LEARNED DURING THE PAST SIX YEARS. THE FIRST THING I'VE LEARNED IS THAT THE NUMBER EIGHT IN DISTRICT EIGHT LOOKS LIKE TWO ROUNDABOUTS THAT ARE JUST SORT OF JAMMED TOGETHER. AND MAYOR. I PROPOSE THAT ALL NEW ROUNDABOUTS BE FIGURE EIGHTS. I'VE LEARNED THE CONSENT AGENDA HAS ITEMS THAT ARE HANDLED BY MINUTE ACTION. AND NOT BY MINUTE ACTION. THAT WAS THE MOST EMBARRASSING SECOND MEETING I'VE EVER HAD. YOU COULD HAVE WARNED ME. I'VE LEARNED THAT IT'S ILLEGAL TO STEAL SQUIRRELS OUT OF OUR PARKS. I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU HOW OR WHY I LEARNED THAT. BUT I WILL TELL YOU I HAVE AN ALIBI. AND I'VE LEARNED THAT WHEN THE CITY ATTORNEY SITS UP SUDDENLY AND HIS EYE STARTS TWITCHING VIOLENTLY. GOT YOUR COMMENTS SHORT AND GET OFF THE MIC. ALL KIDDING ASIDE HAVE LEARNED WHAT MOTIVATES MY PEERS TO VOLUNTEER TO DO THIS JOB. IF YOU ASK THEM WHAT THEIR MOTIVATIONS ARE, YOU'LL GET ANSWERS LIKE REDUCING REGULATION. HELPING PEOPLE, IMPROVING CITY SERVICES MAKING GOVERNMENT COST LESS. THE TWO THINGS THAT YOU DON'T SEE HERE AS MOTIVATORS OR MONEY OR EGO. I CAN ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT EVEN WHEN WE'RE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AND EXECUTIVE SESSION YOU HAVE A COUNCIL WHEN YOU HAVE A CITY STAFF THAT WORKS NOT ONLY TO FIND A GOOD ANSWER. BUT THE ANSWER IS THAT THE MOST JUST TRANSPARENT AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CITY SIMPLY PUT YOU HAVE A GOOD CREW AT THE HOME. AND IF YOU WOULD FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE JOIN ME IN THANKING THE MEN AND WOMEN AROUND ME FOR THE JOB THAT THEY DO. MY MOTIVATIONS WERE PRETTY SIMPLE. I WANTED TO SECURE YOUR RIGHTS. I WANTED TO FIX INJUSTICE IN OUR SYSTEM WITHOUT CREATING NEW INJUSTICE. AND I WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN INSIDE. LOOK AT WHY WE DO. THE CRAZY THINGS THAT WE DO, AND I PROMISE YOU THERE IS A METHOD TO THAT MADNESS. AND ONLY YOU CAN JUDGE WHETHER OR NOT I WAS SUCCESSFUL, AND I HOPE I WAS THE COUNCIL. YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU. YOU'VE GOT A BOND PROGRAM TO FINISH YOU'VE GOT DARPA FUNDED. JUST SPEND YOU WORKING ON A CONFERENCE OF SIDEWALK PLAYING IN A WAY TO BRING HER ALLEYWAYS UP INTO PC INTO THE EIGHTIES. MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU NEED TO FIND A WAY TO BRING BACK OUR ICE CREAM TRUCKS. ROBERT NEEDS HIS ICE CREAM SANDWICHES. I CAN'T STRESS THAT ENOUGH. WE ALSO NEED TO CONTROL OUR CREEK AND BANK EROSION. AND I KNOW I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYBODY UP HERE SAY THIS, BUT WE COULD USE THE HOSPITAL. I HAVE SAID THAT THE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. THE GROANS. BEST DAYS ARE AHEAD OF IT, AND I BELIEVE THAT IS TRUE. WE HAVE A CITY FULL OF THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST PEOPLE IN TEXAS AND I HAVE FAITH THAT ALL OF YOU WILL CONTINUE TO SHARE HIM. THANK YOU. SO MUCH FOR THE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE OF SERVING YOU THESE PAST SIX YEARS. GOD BLESS YOU, GARLAND AND GOOD NIGHT. KEEP. WHICH WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHEREVER YOU WANT TO BE OVER HERE, OKAY.

[Items 11A & 11B]

[01:05:06]

[01:10:01]

THIS DESIGN WAS USED IN THE RIVER SET AND OVERLOOK AT CAMPBELL LAKE. AS FAR AS PARKING MAY GO THE REQUIREMENTS, ADDRESS, RESIDENT PARKING AND ALSO ADDITIONAL GUEST PARKING HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY THE DEVELOPER. THEY'VE EXCEEDED THE MINIMUM GUEST PARKING REQUIREMENT IN THIS DEVELOPMENT. LOT COVERAGE JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER THERE. 79% VERSUS THE 75% MAXIMUM AFRICAN STATES. THE IRREGULAR SHAPE OF THE SITE REQUIRES AN INCREASE IN THE LOT COVERAGE, SO JUST A LITTLE BIT SMALLER. KIND OF PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AREAS. SOME DEVIATIONS RELATED TO LANDSCAPE BUFFERS AND KIND OF LOCATIONS, STARTING AT THE TOP HERE HAVING TO DO WITH THE REQUIREMENT THAT LANDSCAPING SHOULD BE LOCATED ON THE STREET SIDE OF THE SCREENING FENCE. THE APPLICANT WAS UNABLE TO DO THAT , BECAUSE OF SOME EASEMENTS AND FLOODPLAIN ON THE EASTERN SIDE.

SO THE AFRICANS PROPOSING THAT THE LARGE CANOPY TREES AND TRAVEL ARE LOCATED ON THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE. OF THE FENCE. UM THE FENCE ALONG THE COMMON AREA TOWARDS THAT EAST SIDE AND TOWN. HOUSES ARE SET FURTHER BACK TO MINIMUM, MINIMIZE VISIBILITY FROM EAST CENTERVILLE ROAD. AND LANDSCAPE BUFFERS. THIS IS ACTUALLY A PD REQUIREMENT FROM 02-38 IT REQUIRED ACTUALLY A 50 FT LANDSCAPE BUFFER, UM FROM HIGHWAY 66, AS WELL AS 15 LARGE CANOPY TREES. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A 10 FT, UM LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND THEN 2 FT. WHERE THAT SOUTHERN KIND OF KNUCKLE KIND OF GO BACK WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT. TURN ESSENTIALLY, THE KNUCKLE COMES AROUND, SO IT SHRINKS THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER. AVAILABILITY. UM. SO JUST A SHORTER OR MORE NARROW LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 13 LARGE CANOPY TREES WITHIN THAT AREA.

AND, UM THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER LONG YOU CENTERVILLE ROAD. THE REQUIREMENT THERE PER THE PD, NOT THE G C, BUT THE PDS 30 FT, UM AND THE AFRICAN IS PROPOSING A 10 FT LANDSCAPE BUFFER, HOWEVER, THEY ACTUALLY EXCEEDING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED AMOUNT OF TREES. THEY WERE PROVIDING 13, AS OPPOSED TO ONLY EIGHT BEING REQUIRED ON THAT CENTERVILLE FRONTAGE. AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE GDC REQUIREMENTS ACTUALLY 15 FT. THE APPLICANTS PROPOSALS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE GDC REQUIREMENT AND THE PD REQUIREMENT. AND AGAIN, THE APPLICANT STATES, FLOODPLAIN EASEMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE CAUSED THE REDUCTION OF THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER. AND THEN AS FAR AS THE SIGNAGE, THE SQUARE. FOOTAGE OF THE SIGNAGE MEETS BOTH GDC NPD REQUIREMENTS REALLY JUST HAD TO DO A SETBACKS ON THESE THE AND AGAIN IT'S A PD REQUIREMENT IN THIS CASE THAT WHERE THE DEVIATION IS THE PD CALLS REACH SIGN NEEDING A SETBACK OF 25 FT. FROM THE

[01:15:03]

APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. AND THE PLANE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL. THAT WAS WHAT THE 9 TO 0 UNANIMOUS VOTE. IN ADDITION, THE PLANE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW THE FLAT ROOF OVERHANG ENCOURAGEMENT INTO THE SETBACK. PD CONDITION HAS BEEN DRAFTED ACCORDINGLY WITH THAT IS IF I CAN REAL QUICKLY. JUST GO BACK TO ELEVATIONS. TRYING TO FIND A GOOD EXAMPLE HERE. I GUESS THAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE. HERE. IF YOU CAN SEE MY CURSOR AND SEE WHERE THE TOP FLOOR OF SOME OF THE TOWNHOUSE THAT BULL ABOUT A LITTLE BIT. THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE THIS BULBS OUT, IT ENCROACHES A LITTLE BIT INTO THE SETBACK. THERE'S NO CONCERN FROM STAFF STANDPOINT OR FROM A TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS STANDPOINT, AND ACTUALLY, THE APPLICANT HAS, UM STATED THAT ACTUALLY HELPS WITH, UM YOU KNOW, PROVIDE SOME SHADE OF GUESTS ARE COMING TO THE HOME OR IF THERE'S A PACKAGE LEFT ON THE DOORSTEP JUST PROVIDES A LITTLE BIT OF SHADE PLUS AN ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES SO THAT THAT ENCOURAGED A LITTLE BIT IN THE SETBACK THAT WAS NOTICE PRIOR TO THE PLAN COMMISSION MEETING. AND SO THE PLAN COMMISSION WAS GOOD WITH THAT, JUST, UM, RECOMMENDED THAT A PD CONDITION IS ADDED JUST TO CLARIFY THAT THAT IS ALLOWED AND THAT HAS BEEN DRAFTED ACCORDINGLY. AND MAYOR. WE MAILED OUT 44 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE WE RECEIVED , UH, FOUR IN FAVOR AND SIX AGAINST WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND TWO AGAINST OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA. THANK YOU.

VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? CUSTOMER, HEDRICK. IT'S THAT ONE QUESTION FOR STEPHAN. MANY PAUL LUCKY MIGHT HAVE TO COME UP HERE AND SEE YOU IN THE BACK THERE AND JUST MY QUESTION IS DO WITH THE BOTH DRIVEWAYS ARE RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT. WAS THERE ANY CONCERN THAT, UH, ACCESS ACCESSIBILITY TO THE SIDE IF SOMEONE'S EXITING AND WANTS TO TRAVEL NORTH ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BLOCK OR IF SOMEONE WANTS TO GO EAST. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO NO U TURN IF THEY COULD GO TO HIGHWAY 66 ANY CONCERNS ON THAT? YEAH I MEAN, IT'S NOT TYPICALLY IDEAL. IT CERTAINLY IS A MOTORIST OR RESIDENTS LIVING THERE. BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU COULDN'T DO. UM, IT'S IN. THERE'S NOT A WOULDN'T BE A HUGE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC THAT WE'RE DOING THAT SO I DON'T THINK HE'LL CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. VERY GOOD. OKAY? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. I SEE NONE.

THANK YOU, SIR. SECRETARY. DO WE HAVE SPEAKER CARDS ON THIS ITEM? YES SIR. I HAVE ONE SPEAKER CARD FOR JIMMY JIMMY HUNGERS. VERY GOOD. BELIEVE WILL'S GETTING EVERYTHING SET UP FOR YOU. IF WHEN YOU COME FORWARD IF YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU'LL HAVE 10 MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION I AM JIMMY TANG HONG'S OUR OFFICE ADDRESSES 208

[01:20:01]

UM IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME SITUATION WITH THE SONIC HAVING TO GO. UM EAST ON 66. IT'LL REQUIRE U TURN AT THE SITE. UM, WE DID HAVE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS. WE DID NOT HAVE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS DONE. WE JUST HAD A TRAFFIC CONSULTANT. TELL US, UM, ABOUT THE VEHICLES PER DAY MORNING PEAK. BUSY ARROW , THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER TRAFFIC CONSULTANT SAID THERE'D BE ABOUT 20 VEHICLES PER DAY COMING IN AND OUT OF THE COMMUNITY. AND IN THE AFTERNOON 26 VEHICLES PER DAY. UM, SO THAT COULD MEAN FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE AFTERNOON, MAYBE 13 VEHICLES PER DAY COMING IN AND OUT OF THE. ENTRANCE AT STATE HIGHWAY 66 AND THEN ANOTHER 13 ON THE ENTRANCE EXIT AT CENTERVILLE. UM, AS FAR AS PARKING IS CONCERNED. UM WE WILL HAVE TWO CAR GARAGE AT EVERY TOWN HOME AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE 15 GUEST PARKING SPACES. WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE ONE GUEST PARKING SPACE FOR CHARGING A B S. WE DID HAVE A CONCERN FROM ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS ABOUT THE TREES AND LOSING THAT, UM UM AND LOSING THAT SITE, SO WE ARE GOING TO BE REMOVING 279 TREES ON THE SITE. UM BUT WHEN THE DEVELOPMENTS COMPLETED WILL BE WE WILL BE PLANTING OVER 500 TREES AND SHRUBS. SO AND WHEN THEY MATURE , THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE COVERAGE THAN THERE WAS BEFORE. UM EXTERIOR AGAIN, THE MAJORITY TURN, YOU KNOW, MAJORITY OF THE EXTRA IS GOING TO BE BRICK STUCCO AND TILE. UM AND THEN ALSO TO ADD SOME CHARACTER WILL HAVE SOME SECOND FLOOR BALCONIES. HOME PRICES, HOME PRICES THEY'LL START AT $439,000 . FOR OUR 1600 SQUARE FOOT PLAN , AND THEY'LL GO UP INTO THE UPPER FOUR HUNDREDS FOR OUR ABOUT 1900 SQUARE FOOT PLANTS. TOTAL VALUE OF THE PROJECT IS $24 MILLION, AND I'M VERY EXCITED TO BRING THIS TO GARLAND. MANY QUESTIONS. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. HOLD ON. CAN'T REMEMBER WILLIAMS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. GOOD EVENING,

[01:25:10]

DEVIATIONS ON THE LATTER AREAS AND NOT DEATH. CAN YOU ELABORATE LIPID? MORE. ON YOU MENTIONED THE IRREGULAR SHAPES AND STUFF WITH WHAT CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW YOU ARRIVED AT THOSE TWO PROPOSALS UP AGAINST WHETHER REQUIREMENT IS CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT SURE. SO THANK YOU. YES, SURE. SO OUR ARCHITECT HE DESIGNED UM AS BEST, HE COULD SOME FLOOR PLANS THAT FIT WITHIN THE GARMENT DEVELOPMENT CODE. AND WE GOT 50 TOWN HOMES ON HERE . THE CHALLENGE WAS AFTER GOING THROUGH, UM CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WITH THE TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS AND CIVIL ENGINEERS. WE ENDED UP TO WHERE? I GUESS IF YOU CAN SEE THE CURSOR, UM WE ENDED UP HAVING A SQUEEZE. WE STARTED WITH OUR 50 TOWN HOMES BEING OUT OVER HERE. RIGHT BUT AFTER TALKING TO THE TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS, THESE ROADS KEPT ON SQUEEZING IN ON US, AND THEN THIS LITTLE KNUCKLE THAT YOU SEE OVER HERE? UH UM, WAS GROWING ON US, SO WE ENDED UP HAVING A SHRINK. THE PAD SIZES, THE LOT DEPTHS AND WIDTHS JUST A TAD.

MAYBE JUST JUST A FEW PERCENT TO GET TO GET WHAT WE NEEDED. MEANING ALL THE LIGHTS HAS WITH THE SAME RIGHT? GENERALLY SPEAKING, THEY ALL ARE ABOUT THE SAME. WE DO HAVE A HANDFUL OF LOTS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN YOUR TYPICAL SIZE. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR. VERY GOOD. PRO TIM MORRIS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM. AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSIVENESS TO THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD IN H O A. UM AND THAT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL AS FAR AS UM, GETTING THEIR BUY IN ON THIS, AND IN FACT, I'M HEARING TODAY FROM A LOT OF THEM THAT THEY WERE EXCITED ABOUT THIS, UM SO I NOTICED THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION ONE OF THE PIECES OF INFORMATION YOU GAVE THAT I FOUND INTERESTING WAS ABOUT, UM, LOWERING THE ELECTRIC BILL THAT THE COST OF ACTUALLY LIVING IN IN ONE OF THESE TOWN HOMES AND YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF THE AMOUNT THAT IT WOULD SAVE. RIGHT THEY SHOULD SAVE AROUND 100 $250 PER MONTH IN ELECTRICITY. SO IF THEIR BILL IS LESS THAN THAT THAN THEY BASICALLY WON'T HAVE A BILL. THAT'S CORRECT. THAT WAS A FIGURE THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD CAUGHT BUT WANTED TO JUST CONFIRM WITH ME AND I DO APPRECIATE THE, UH YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T A FULL TRAFFIC STUDY, BUT THE ESTIMATE FOR THE MORNING PEAK BUSY HOUR AND THE AFTERNOON PEAK BUSY HOUR. I DRIVE IN THAT AREA QUITE A LOT, AND I'VE SPECIFICALLY SINCE WE BEGAN TALKING ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR, WATCHED THOSE TRAFFIC RHYTHMS AND I DON'T THINK YOU'RE I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE PUTTING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE STRESS AS FAR AS VEHICLES ON ON TO THAT CORNER . WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER, UM DEVELOPMENT WITH RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT, AND WE WOULD ALL LOVE TO HAVE THINGS THAT ARE MUCH SIMPLER THAN THAT. BUT UM, BUT I THINK ON THAT CORNER THAT THAT THAT LOOKS WORKABLE. UM YOUR 15 GUEST PARKING SO EACH UNIT HAS EACH TOWN HOME, HAS A TWO CAR IN CLOSED GARAGE. UM AND YOU HAVE 15 GUEST PARKING SPACES ARE THOSE IN THESE KNUCKLES AT THE CORNERS. IS THAT PRIMARILY WHERE THEY ARE? ACTUALLY THEY ARE SET IN FROM THE ROAD. WE HAVE THREE PARKING SPOTS OVER HERE. WE HAVE ANOTHER THREE OVER HERE OF THE STREET, AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER NINE BACK OVER HERE. OKAY? AND IS IT POSSIBLE IF THERE'S A SOMEBODY'S HAVING A PARTY COULD THERE WELL, THESE THESE KNUCKLES THESE BUMP OUTS ACCOMMODATE ANY OVERFLOW PARKING IF NECESSARY.

YES WE EXPECT GUESTS TO BE ABLE TO PARK OVER HERE AS WELL. AND ANY IN EACH OF THESE KNUCKLES, THREE OF THEM. AND YOU MENTIONED AN E V PARKING SPACE. WOULD THIS BE EVEY ONLY IS THIS WOULD THIS BE RESERVED A SINGLE SPACE? UM THAT'S NOT. WE'RE NOT REQUIRING. CORRECT. YES. MAYBE, UM AND WHERE WOULD THAT BE LOCATED? WOULD THAT BE TOWARD THE FRONT LOOKING TO HAVE IT OVER HERE? AS ONE OF THESE THREE OR OVER HERE IS ONE OF THESE THREE GUEST PARKING SPACES. OKAY? AH! ALL RIGHT, AND WE DID HAVE ONE NEIGHBOR THAT WAS CONCERNED AND AGAIN. THEY WEREN'T AT THE MEETING WHERE YOU WENT OVER ALL THIS, BUT, UM THEY WERE CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE FLOOD

[01:30:03]

CORRECT WE WILL NOT BE BUILDING IN THE FLOODPLAIN. THERE WILL BE JUST A TAD THAT COMES INTO THE CULVERT THAT WILL BE UNDERNEATH THIS ROAD, BUT NO HOMES WILL BE IN THE FLOODPLAIN. ALL RIGHT.

AND. I DO APPRECIATE WHAT THAT IS A DROP. AND UH, MY HAT'S OFF TO YOU FOR WORKING AROUND THAT AND COMING UP WITH UH, WITH A WORKABLE PLAN. AND THE DEVIATIONS. TO ME SEEMS SENSIBLE SO UM, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE IDEA OF HAVING, UM, HAVING A PROJECT LIKE THIS WITH THE SOLAR POWER. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THIS IN GARLAND YET. SO UM, THIS IS HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING PROCESS LEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS FROM YOU SO THANK YOU THAT THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU, MRS MORRIS. CUSTOMER, HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. I JUST HAD ONE ADDITIONAL QUESTION ABOUT THE PARKING. I KNOW. THIS WAS ALSO A CONCERN OF COMMISSIONER ART WHEN HE WAS ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT WE'LL THERE BE PARKING ALLOWED INDUSTRY AT THE KNUCKLES BUT ALONG THE STREETS A AND B. YES THERE WILL BE PARKING THERE AS WELL ALLOWED. AH IS THERE ANY CONCERN ABOUT FIRE ACCESS? THEN IF THERE'S A BUYER ENGINE OR SOMETHING NEEDS TO GET IN THE YEAH ARE FIRE MARSHAL HAS GONE OVER OUR PLAN, AND HE'S OKAY WITH WHAT WE HAVE DRAWN OUT RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. GOOD ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. AND I BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT WAS THE ONLY SPEAKER CARD WE HAD ON THIS ITEM. THAT IS THE ONLY SPEAKER CARD. OKAY IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS SIDE? UM SAYING NONE. PRO TIM. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM 11 QUESTION . THE PLAN COMMISSIONS. UM RECOMMENDATION TO ADD THE OVERHANG INTO THE ENCROACHMENT. IS THAT CONSIDERED IN THE PLAN, OR DO WE NEED TO ADD THAT IN EMOTION, MR GARIN SAID. THERE WAS A PD CONDITION ADDED, BUT I BELIEVE WE WOULD NEED TO. FORMALLY, UM YOU CAN DO IT EITHER WAY, SINCE WE DID ADD THE PD CONDITION. IT IS TECHNICALLY IN THERE AS PRESENTED, SO I BELIEVE IF UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED, CERTAINLY MAYOR IF IT'S JUST A MOTION TO APPROVE, AS PRESENTED ITS IN THEIR TV PARKING SPACE AS WELL. THAT WAS IN ADDITION SINCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT COULD BE PART OF THE MOTION. YEAH, I DON'T BELIEVE WE PUT THAT IN THE CONDITIONS THAT COULD BE PART OF THE MOTION. IF YOU LIKE. THANK YOU, MAYOR. IN THAT CASE, UM, I DO MOVE AND THIS IS FOR 11 A.M.

B TAKING THEM TOGETHER. I DO MOVE, UM, FOR APPROVAL OF THE ZONING REQUEST AND THE DETAILED PLAN REQUEST UM, AS PRESENTED WITH THE ADDITION OF APPROVAL FOR A SINGLE EVEY PARKING SPACE.

VERY GOOD. THE MOTION BY MERE PROTEIN MORRIS TO APPROVE ITEMS 11 A AND 11 B AS PRESENTED WITH THE ADDITION OF THE E V PARKING SPACE, AND I HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MORE ANY FURTHER.

I'M SORRY. I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO BE CLEAR THAT THE ALTHOUGH YOUR MOTION INCLUDES THE E V PARKING SPACE, THAT IS NOT A CONDITION OF THE PD AT THIS TIME , OR YOU IF YOU'RE WANTING THAT TO BE A CONDITION OF THE P D, THEN WE NEED TO MAKE SOME MAKE SURE THAT'S KNOWN. WELL. MM HMM.

IN THAT CASE, LET'S MAKE IT A CONDITION OF THE PD. AND INCLUDED OKAY. THIS IS MY THERE'S A SECOND CONCUR. OKAY SO THE E V WILL BE INCLUDED AS A PD CONDITION. DADDY PRESENT DISCUSSION. SECRETARY. COMPARE THE VOTE FOR US, PLEASE. COUNCIL. AND DISPLAY THE VOTE, PLEASE. AND ITEMS 11 A AND 11 B ARE APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU, SIR. NEXT UP. WE HAVE

[Items 11C & 11D]

[01:35:03]

STEP SEVEN. THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS, UM SUBJECT PROPERTIES, COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS, TOWNHOUSES ALIGNED WITH THAT THE GENERAL KIND OF DENSITY RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS IS ABOUT 8 TO 12 UNITS PER ACRE. THIS PROPOSAL IS ABOUT NINE UNITS PER ACRE. SO WITHIN THAT RECOMMENDATION. KIND OF A MID DENSITY. UM RESIDENTIAL PRODUCT.

UM HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY RIGHT THERE. ON THE TOP LEFT. IT IS CURRENTLY VACANT. AND HERE'S THE SITE PLAN. AGAIN IT IS 88 TOWNHOUSES WITH KIND OF A, UH, SOME BLENDS OF H O A IN COMMON SPACES. THEY'RE ACTUALLY WE'VE SEEN THIS. BEFORE ACTUALLY WITH A FEW OTHER TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENTS, BUT THERE'S A COMBINATION OF 45 FRONT ENTRY.

TOWN HOUSES THAT WOULD HAVE THE GARAGE COMING FROM THE MAIN STREET AND THEN 43 WHAT WE CALL MUSE TOWNHOUSE. LOTS THAT WOULD ACTUALLY FRONT. UM I CAN PROBABLY ASSUME IT A LITTLE MISS MIGHT ILLUSTRATE A LITTLE CLOSER. MORE CLEARLY, BUT HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF A LITTLE OPEN SPACE WITH LITTLE TRAIL KIND OF CONNECTING STREET TO STREET. THE TOWNHOUSES WOULD ACTUALLY FRONT ONTO THAT LITTLE OPEN SPACE THAT COMMON MUSE OPEN SPACE, AND THEN THEY HAVE AN ALLEY FOR THE GARAGES AND THE REAR. MUSICALLY IT'S A LITTLE BIT WIDER ABOUT 30 FT, AS OPPOSED TO THE STANDARD 20 FT. COMBINATION OF THOSE TOWNHOUSE TYPES. IT UH, THE PROPOSAL MEETS THE SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS OF THE G D. C UM AS WELL AS THE AMENITY AND OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS, AS WELL AS PARKING TWO CAR GARAGES , SUFFICIENT GUEST PARKING. IT CAN BE ACCESSED FROM SINGAPORE CENTERVILLE ROAD AND TWO POINTS ALONG, KINGSLEY HERE. NORTH IS KIND OF FACING TO THE RIGHT, SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT YEAH, SIDEWAYS . ALMOST ONE THING I'LL POINT OUT. MAYOR IS, UM YOU CAN SEE THIS ACCESS POINT HERE ONTO KINGSLEY. HOWEVER THERE MAY BE AN ALTERNATIVE, UM, LAYOUT AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT ZOOMED IN OVER HERE. IDEALLY THE STREET WOULD COME OUT IN A LINE DIRECTLY WITH KEEN DRIVE, WHICH IS ACROSS FROM KINGSLEY. UM THAT WOULD REQUIRE THIS ADJACENT PROPERTY THE CHURCH OWNERSHIP TO DEDICATE SOME RIGHT AWAY. SO THE APPLICANT DEVELOPER IS IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CHURCH. SO IF THAT COMES TO FRUITION THIS LATE, THIS MAY BE THE SORT OF OPTION B LAYOUT IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE TOWN HOUSES, BUT IT WOULD NOT CHANGE THE LOCK COUNT . I WOULD STILL BE 88 TOWNHOUSES. IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. UM STREET LAYOUT , BUT STAFF HAS SUGGESTED AND HAS KIND OF DRAFTED THE PD CONDITIONS AND IN A MANNER THAT WOULD ALLOW THIS OPTION B. AND IF THAT HAPPENS, IT WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ADMINISTRATIVELY THROUGH PERMITTING, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. UM THERE ARE NO BUILDING ELEVATIONS SUBMITTED WITH THIS REQUEST AS THE APPLICANT DOES NOT HAVE A BUILDER LINED LINED UP AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER THE APPLICANT CONFIRMED THAT THE BUILDING OF ELEVATIONS WILL COMPLY WITH THE BUILDING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS OF THE GDC AND STAFF WOULD THEN VERIFY FULL G, D. C AND PD COMPLIANCE FOR THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS DURING PERMITTING REVIEW. THIS REQUEST DOES HAVE A FEW DEVIATIONS. THREE. I BELIEVE LOT AREA MINIMUM PER THE G D. C FOR TOWNHOUSES AND AGAIN. THESE ARE INDIVIDUALLY PLANTED LOTS.

TOWN HOMES IS 2000 SQUARE FEET LOT SIZE. THE MINIMUM BEING PROPOSED IS JUST UNDER THAT 1980

[01:40:03]

SHOULD THE APPLICANT MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT LAYOUT AND A PD CONDITION HAS BEEN DRAFTED ACCORDINGLY. SO UNLESS THE COUNCIL DIRECTS OTHERWISE, IF APPROVED, AS PRESENTED, IT WOULD IT WOULD ALLOW FOR THAT ENTRY OPTION B IF THAT COMES TO FRUITION. AND THE PLANE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL WITH THE 9 TO 0 VOTE. AND THAT INCLUDED ESSENTIALLY THE SAME RECOMMENDATION TO ALLOW THE ENTRY OPTION B TO BE APPROVED ADMINISTRATIVELY SHOULD THE APPLICANT MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT LAYOUT? AND MAYOR WE MAILED OUT 127 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS ZONE IN CASE WE RECEIVED ONE IN FAVOR WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND 25 AGAINST WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA. AND THEN WE RECEIVED ON THE SURFACE THREE IN FAVOR OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA. HOWEVER, LOOKING AT THEIR COMMENTS, I THINK THEY MAY HAVE MET TO CHECK AGAINST JUDGING FROM THEIR COMMENTS AND 81 AGAINST OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA. WITH BATTLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS . VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? GOT A FEW MAJOR PRO TIM MORRIS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM I READ THROUGH ALL OF THE CITIZEN COMMENTS. SO LET ME ASK YOU A COUPLE OF THE ONES THAT I THINK ARE ARE ON OUR END. UM UH, THESE ARE NOT IN ANY WAY GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED OR TAX CREDIT TYPE OF THIS IS THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS PROPOSAL IS ABOUT . CORRECT MARK. MR. MAYOR CAN'T DO THAT. UH, I WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU WITHDRAW THAT QUESTION.

WITHDRAW IT. THANK YOU, UM THE. SEVERAL PEOPLE MENTIONED, UM WATER PRESSURE CONCERNS OF WATER PRESSURE BEING REDUCED IN THE AREA. SHOULD THIS BE BUILT? IS THAT SOMETHING WE HAVE? DO WE HAVE SOMEBODY WITH UM, WHO CAN RESPOND TO THAT ON STAFF? IF WE DO, YEAH. RIGHT HERE. AND I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM AT SOME POINT. IN THE PAST IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IS THERE ANY REASON THAT HAVING THIS DEVELOPMENT BUILT IN THAT AREA WOULD STRESS OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAUSE SHE'S NOT AT ALL? UH WE NEVER HAD ISSUES IN THAT AREA THAT I KNOW OF. IT IS A 16 INCH WATER MAIN RUNNING DOWN CENTERVILLE, SO THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF WATER PLEADING PRESSURE. SHOULD BE NO ISSUES. OKAY THANK YOU, SIR. JUST FOR THAT. I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND ROBERT ASHCRAFT FIELD OPERATION DIRECTORS FOR THE WATER DEPARTMENT. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY? AND THIS WOULD BE, UM WE DON'T HAVE A

[01:45:02]

PINK THANK THANK YOU, SIR. AND IT'S IN MY EXPERIENCE. I'VE NOT GOTTEN ANY CONCERNS ABOUT WATER PRESSURE IN THAT AREA. SO WHAT? I THINK WE'RE GOOD PRO TEAM. IN THAT FOOT. UNLESS STANDPOINT. AH THE SLOGAN WOULD YOU SHARE WITH YOU? YOU AND I. YOU SENT ME SOME INFORMATION. THE QUESTION WAS RAISED ABOUT TRAFFIC. THE SITE PLAN IF WE COULD PUT MR GARRETT, IF WE COULD PUT THAT. BACK UP THERE? YES, PLEASE. OKAY? OKAY? RIGHT TO TWO QUESTIONS CAME UP OR COMMENTS. I MEAN, UM PEOPLE THEY WERE THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC VALUE, AND YOU RESPONDED TO THAT. AND EGRESS AND EGRESS AND INGRESS EXCESS OF CENTERVILLE TO COLOMBIA FROM FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT. AND YOU FEARED SOME THOUGHTS WITH ME. WOULD YOU MIND SHARING YOUR FIRST ON? UM ANY TRAFFIC IMPACT AND NO, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A TRAFFIC STUDY. BUT YOU DID SHARE SOME MASTURBATE OBSERVATIONS WITH ME ON THE TRAFFIC ISSUE. WE CAN YOU SHARE THAT WITH US? YES. SO THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC GENERATED ABOUT THE BY THE UM, DEVELOPMENT WAS WAS LESS THAN THE 2500 TRIPS PER DAY AND THE QUITE A BIT LESS. I DON'T I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF ME. BUT UM THEY ARE.

I MEAN, THERE IT'S THE PROJECT IS LOCATED ON TWO YOU KNOW, A SIX LANE DIVIDED ROADWAY IN A FOUR LANE DIVIDED ROADWAY. THAT HAVE HAVE CAPACITY TO ACCOMMODATE THE TRIPS THAT ARE THAT ARE GENERATED BY THE SITE, SO I WENT ANTICIPATE ANY SIGNIFICANT, UM. ADDITIONAL DELAY THAT'S CAUSED BY THE SITE TRAFFIC. AND LOOKING AT THE STATE PLAN. DO YOU SEE ANY ANY MAJOR CHANGES OR DEVIATIONS AND TRAFFIC FLOW, EITHER IN A OUT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD THAT WOULD IMPACT TRAFFIC WOULD SAY ACCESS TO COLOMBIA. BASED ON WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. NO, NOT NO, NOT TO COLOMBIA. I MEAN, THE EXIT OUT ONTO CENTERVILLE WOULD THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO TURN INTO RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT, SO THEY'RE GOING TO TURN IF THEY WOULD HAVE WANTED TO GO THE OTHER DIRECTION ON CENTERVILLE, THEY'D HAVE TO MAKE A U TURN. BUT I DON'T. I DON'T ANTICIPATE IT BEING ANY IMPACT ON COLUMBIA AT ALL. RIGHT RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR. CATHERINE MOORE. THANK YOU, MR BEAR. MAYBE THAT'S THE QUESTION MORE TO OUR LEGAL BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF, UH AGAINST NOTICES THAT CAME BACK THAT TRIGGER THE SUPER MAJORITY OF THAT EVEN PART OF THE QUESTIONING. I DON'T BELIEVE WE'VE REACHED THAT THRESHOLD. NO SIR. I DON'T BELIEVE THE 20% RULE HAS BEEN TRIGGERED. IT HAS MORE TO DO WITH THE PHYSICAL LAND AREA SHOW. OWNERSHIP OF THE AREA VERSUS THE WRONG NUMBER OF OPPOSITION. ALRIGHT SO BASED ON WHAT I'M HEARING AT THIS POINT, THE PRIMARY OBJECTION IS SO FAR. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST IT. THAT PRETTY MUCH THE CASE. IT IS A LARGE NUMBER THAN THAN THAN KIND OF THE USUAL ZONING CASE. YES, SIR, BUT VERY LARGE NUMBER OF THOSE ACTUALLY 81. AT LEAST WE'RE OUTSIDE THE NOTIFICATION AREA. YES, SIR.

THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. VERY GOOD. AND CANCER LUCK. THANK YOU, MR CARON. UM ON THE WEST, THE FAR WEST LINE OF THE PROPERTY OF THE DETAILED PLAN. CAN YOU ZOOM IN ON THAT MIDDLE SPACE? UM RIGHT THERE AND KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON THERE. UM WELL, I DON'T KNOW. HAVE A ZOOM IN ON IT.

YEAH, I APOLOGIZE. I MAY NOT HAVE A THAT IS THAT THERE? THAT'S MUCH BETTER. OKAY SO WHAT'S WHAT IS GOING ON THERE? UM, I BELIEVE, AND THE APPLICANT CAN CERTAINLY CONFIRM IF I'M WRONG HERE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT'S AN OPEN SPACE THAT G D C FOR TOWNHOUSES HAS KIND OF MAXIMUM OF SIX ATTACHED UNITS BETWEEN THREE AND SIX ATTACHED UNITS FOR TOWNHOUSES. THAT MAY JUST BE A SEPARATION AREA BETWEEN BUILDINGS, ESSENTIALLY, UM IF IT WAS MEANT FOR DRAINAGE PURPOSES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I CAN. CERTAINLY THE APPLICANT CAN MR MCGUINNESS CAN CORRECT ME OR NOT

[01:50:06]

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CASEY MCGUINNESS. I'M THE OWNER OF MCGUINNESS DEVELOPMENT. MY RESIDE. EXCUSE ME. AT 40, 29, BONETTO DRIVE AND FRISCO. UM I'VE LIVED HERE IN THE METROPLEX . MY ENTIRE LIFE WENT TO SCHOOL HERE. MY FAMILY PRESIDES HERE HAVE GOT FOUR CHILDREN AND A WIFE THAT WE'VE ALL LIVED HERE IN OUR LITTLE BUBBLE. SO WE'VE WE'VE WATCHED GARLAND FOR A LONG TIME. GROW AND I'D LIKE TO, JUST , UH, FIRST CONGRATULATE EVERYBODY WHO WAS SWORN IN TONIGHT AND BLESSINGS FOR THOSE THAT ARE LEAVING FOR ANOTHER STAGE OF LIFE. UM. MR GARIN DID SUCH A GOOD JOB ON THIS. THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF THAT I THAT I WANT TO ADD, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT AH, AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SITE AND IF I CAN GET A IS THAT UP HERE? WILL DO I GET TO THE SITE PLAN. ABSOLUTELY MIND HEALTHIEST. KEEP YOURS. SEVERAL MINIMIZE IF THAT'S OKAY. HERE YOU ARE. THE OVERALL. THANK YOU. YES. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WITH THIS SITE WAS THE TRIANGULAR SHAPE AND THIS SITE WAS MADE UP OF THREE DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNERS, THREE DIFFERENT ZONING DESIGNATIONS AND OLD MULTI FAMILIES OWNING DESIGNATION THAT I'M SURE EVERYONE WAS HAPPY TO SEE GO AWAY, AND SO WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT THIS SITE ARE OUR CHALLENGE WAS WHAT WHAT TO DO WITH THESE THESE NARROW CORNERS. AND SO WHAT ARE CHALLENGED? OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OPEN SPACE. AND IN FACT, THERE'S OVER 25% OF THE PROPERTY THAT IS OPEN GREEN SPACE THAT WILL BE MAINTAINED BY THE H O. A WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS TRY TO FUNNEL ALL OF THESE GREEN SPACES INTO GENERAL AREAS TO MAKE THEM FUNCTIONAL. AND SO WE'VE GOT A WE'VE GOT A LARGE PARK. THAT WILL CONSIST OF PERGOLAS TRAIL SYSTEMS. DOGGY STATIONS, BARBECUE PITS, PICNIC TABLES, UM, AND THEN THE TRAIL SYSTEM WILL HAVE CONNECTIVITY ALL THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UM ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS I THINK ABOUT THIS SITE IS OUR PERIMETER FENCING WILL BE A ORNAMENTAL METAL FENCE WILL HAVE THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPING REQUIRED BY THE CITY. BUT THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF TRANSPARENCY AS YOU'RE DRIVING UP AND DOWN KINGSLEY AND CENTERVILLE AND INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT THE BACK OF SOMEONE'S BRICK FACADE YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE INTO THESE OPEN AREAS. IN THERE, AND I THINK THESE ARE GOING TO BE GREAT FOR THE COMMUNITY. GREAT FOR THE STREETSCAPE FOR EVERYONE'S DRIVING UP AND DOWN KINGS LANE, CENTREVILLE AND JUST JUST REALLY ADDED A NICE FLAIR TO THE OVERALL COMMUNITY. UH AS MR GEARON STATED, WE ARE LOOKING AT AN ULTERIOR DRIVE THAT WOULD ALIGN BETTER WITH KEEN THEY'RE OFF OF KINGSLEY. UM, WE'RE IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE ADJACENT LANDOWNER, WHICH IS A CHURCH AND, UH, THAT'S THAT'S DOWN THERE. IN THAT OPTION B. THOSE DISCUSSIONS ARE MOVING FORWARD. UM AT THIS TIME, AND, UM YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THE ADJACENT LANDOWNER. UM ONE THING I DID WANT TO BRING UP IS, UH MS LUCK, UH, MENTIONED THAT THAT LITTLE OPEN SPACE THERE AT THE BACK. THAT'S A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT. AND SO IF WE DO PROBABLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IF THE CHURCH DOES DEVELOP THEIR SANITARY SEWER WILL ACTUALLY RUN DOWN TO THE BACK OF OUR PROPERTY . THERE IS A UTILITY EASEMENT BETWEEN US AND THE ADJACENT COMMUNITY AND THEN TIE IN TO THAT SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM, AND THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE GREEN SPACE. UM. WE HAVE. WE HAVE 22 GUESTS, PARKING PLACES ALL OF OUR DRIVEWAYS OR 20 FT WITH THE 22 CAR GARAGE, SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ALL OF THE RESIDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO PARK ON SITE AND THEN WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF OVERFLOW PARKING AS WELL INSIDE THE COMMUNITY. OUR TARGET. OUR TARGET MARKET OUT THERE IS IN THE MID THREE HUNDRED'S. SO UNLIKE ANY OF THE MULTI FAMILY UNITS OR THAT HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE PAST, UM YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE MORE OF A OWNER OCCUPIED TYPE OF COMMUNITY AT THAT TIME. AT THAT PRICE LEVEL, THE H O A

[01:55:08]

UM I THINK THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE OUT THERE. UM WE REALLY DON'T HAVE MANY DEVIATIONS. AND SO, UM, WE'VE GOT A YOU KNOW, A SMALL ONE. JUST ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. UM AS MANY OF YOU KNOW OUR DEVELOPMENT COST OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAVE JUST SKYROCKETED MAINLY DUE TO SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, AND WE'VE ALL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO ABSORB THOSE. AND AS WE INTERVIEW WITH A DIFFERENT TOWN HOME PROVIDERS IN THE IN THE METROPLEX, THE BUILDERS, UM THEY RUN A GAMUT AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE SWEET SPOT IS THAT 1200 TO 2000 SQUARE FEET? UM SO THAT THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THAT REQUEST, UM THAT'S ABOUT IT. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

VERY GOOD, SIR. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? COUNCILOR HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR.

NEW EXPLAIN WHAT THE FENCING IS BEHIND ARE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY BETWEEN THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. I SEE IN THE SCREENING EXHIBIT YOU HAVE HERE SAYS WHAT PRIVACY FENCE WITHOUT VINCE BEAT ON THE PROPERTY LINE. OR WOULD IT BE OFF THE PROPERTY LINES? I KNOW THERE'S ALSO AN ALLEY EASEMENT THERE RIGHT SO THAT THIS WILL BE ON THE PROPERTY LINE TO BE A 6 FT BOARD ON BOARD FENCE INSTALLED BY THE BUILDER AS THEY BUILD THE ACTUAL TOWN HOMES.

OKAY. IS THERE ANY CONCERN? I KNOW WE HAVE AN ALLEY? WE'RE BUILDING ON ALLEYS. I KNOW THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY SITUATIONS IS ALL THOSE HOMES ARE FRONT LOADED IN THAT AREA, BUT UM, THEY'RE NOT CONCERNED WITH THAT, BEING ON THE PROPERTY LINE. IT ALSO BEING AN EASEMENT AS WELL. THAT'S PRESUMABLY ACCESSIBLE BY. I BELIEVE THERE. I BELIEVE THERE'S BELIEVE THERE'S UTILITIES THAT RUN BACK THERE. SO IT'S KIND OF THERE WERE INHERITING THE UTILITIES THAT ARE ALREADY CURRENTLY THERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR VERY GOOD. AND CUSTOMER LOOK. UM SO IS THE WEST SIDE FENCE MAINTAINED BY THE WAY AS WELL? YES YES. ALL PERIMETER FENCING WILL BE MAINTAINED. IT'LL GO BEHIND ALL OF THE TOWN HOMES THAT YOU SEE AGAINST ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD UNTIL WE GET UP TO THE CHURCH PROPERTY, AND THEN AT THAT POINT, IT'LL TRANSITION BACK INTO THE WROUGHT IRON AND THEN IT WILL HAVE THE APPROPRIATE LANDSCAPING WITH THAT. THAT MAY GO AWAY IF WE END UP GOING WITH AN OPTION B BECAUSE THAT DR WILL SWING UP THROUGH THERE, BUT BUT RIGHT NOW, YEAH, THAT IT'LL STOP RIGHT THERE AT THE PROPERTY LINE AND THEN CONTINUE WITH THE WROUGHT IRON ALL THE WAY UP TO THE CORNER. WOULD YOU MIND ADDRESSING ANY TRAFFIC IMPACTS THAT THIS, UM THIS PROPERTY MIGHT HAVE WHEN WE INITIALLY SAT DOWN WITH CITY STAFF, UM, AS HE STATED EARLIER. THE PROPERTY DOESN'T WARRANT A T I A. IT'S GOING TO HAVE SUCH LOW IMPACT THAT THE CITY DIDN'T EVEN REQUIRE US TO DO ONE. IN IN MY EXPERIENCE ON WITH THIS MANY UNITS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 35 TO 40 CARS A DAY DURING PEAK AND SO ON A SIX LANE FOUR, LANE DIVIDED REALLY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH IMPACT. THANK YOU. OKAY? VERY GOOD. PRO TIM MORRIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. UM SO DID I HEAR YOU SAY THERE'S 25% OF THIS.

IT'S GOING TO BE OPEN SPACE GREEN SPACE THAT WILL BE SURE. VERY VERY WELCOME. A NUMBER AGAIN. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF CITIZEN COMMENTS AND A LOT OF THEM. WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT LOSING WHAT THEY CONSIDERED THEIR GREEN SPACE. UM THIS HAS NEVER BEEN A CITY PARK. UM AND IN FACT, WE HAVE LONG WIND PARK. I THINK LESS THAN A MILE AWAY ON CENTERVILLE, AND I THINK THAT'S ABOUT 17 ACRES. UH QUITE QUITE NICE. WELL DEVELOPED. UM BUT I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT, AND THE GREEN SPACE AND OPEN SPACE WILL BE WILL BE MAINTAINED BY THE H O. A THAT'S CORRECT. ALRIGHT. MM HMM. AND. I THINK PART OF THE PART OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS PEOPLE REMEMBERING THE APARTMENTS. THAT WERE. WE WERE WELL HAPPY TO BE DONE WITH, AND THEY WERE ENVISIONING KIND OF A
