FIRST I'D LIKE TO GO OVER THE CONSENT AGENDA IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THAT. I SEE NONE. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS OUR FIRST STONING CASE. THE 21 07, THE APPLICANT REQUEST A DETAILED PLAN FOR 12 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES. HERE'S THE CASE INFORMATION. THE ACREAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 28.62 ACRES. AND THE EXISTING ZONING IS PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 16-23 FOR A SINGLE FAMILY. 10 USES. 60 CITYWIDE LOCATION MAP AND THE RED STAR SHOWS THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND IT DOES BORDER THE CITY OF RICHARDSON. MR CHAIR. I'M NOT SAYING THIS PRESENTATION OF MY MOTHER. UM HIT HIT YOUR, UH, HIT THE THIRD BUTTON DOWN THE PRESENTATION BUTTON. YOU BROKE IT. IF YOU TWO YOU CAN, TOO MAY BE ABLE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT. I DON'T KNOW. HERE COMES THE CAVALRY. CHEERS. LOOK AT THIS. WELL IT WILL GO AHEAD AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE. GO AHEAD.
HERE IS THE LOCATION MAP THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES OUTLINED IN THE TEAL BLUE COLOR AND TO THE NORTH IS THE CITY OF RICHARDSON. AND ZONING FOR THIS PROPERTY IS PD 16 23 BACK IN 2016. THERE WAS A CONCEPT PUT THAT WAS APPROVED FOR 12 LOTS AND IT DID REQUIRE A DETAILED PLAN. AND NOW THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED THE DETAILED PLAN FOR 12 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. AND SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE MAINLY, UM, RESIDENTIAL TO THE EAST. THIS IS ALL RESIDENTIAL. THERE IS A LOT OF OPEN SPACE AND THEN ALSO TO THE WEST AS RESIDENTIAL PD 98-61. HERE IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT A DESIGNATES THE PROPERTY AS TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS. TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT TYPE IS PRIMARILY CHARACTERIZED AS LOW DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED BETWEEN ONE AND SIX DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. THE PROPOSAL THAT DENSITY IS 2.06 MILLION UNITS PER ACRE, AND IT IS COMPATIBLE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. HERE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTOS. THE LEFT IMAGE IS VIEW OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM EAST BRAND AND THE RIGHT IS EAST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM EAST BRAND. AND TO THE LEFTIST SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
AND THE RIGHT IMAGE IS NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AND HERE IS THE OVERALL SITE PLAN, WHICH SHOWS THE WHOLE 28 A LITTLE MORE THAN 28 ACRES, AND MOST OF IT IS FLOODPLAIN AND EASEMENTS AND THE DEVELOPMENT BEAR SORRY. DEVELOPABLE AREA IS A LITTLE MORE THAN FIVE ACRES, WHICH IS THIS PORTION RIGHT HERE, AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THE 12 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES.
MINIMUM LOT SIZE IS 10,000 SQUARE FEET, WHICH IS WHAT THE GDC REQUIRES. THE PLAN DOES SHOW BETWEEN 13,000 SORRY BETWEEN 13,000 TO 17,000. AND THE MINIMUM DWELLING SIZE IS 3000 SQUARE FOOT, AND THE APPLICANT IS NOT PROPOSING ANY, UM, DEVIATIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS EXCEPT FOR THE ALLEY WAIVER. THESE ARE ALL FRONT LOADED LOTS AND THE ACCESS THERE TO ACCESS POINTS FROM, UM HE'S BRAND RUB. HERE IS THE SAME DEN VERSION OF THE 12 HOMES AND TWO POINTS FROM EAST BRAND. HERE IS THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN, AND IT DOES CONFORM WITH THE APPLICABLE SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING STANDARDS PER THE GDC SINCE THE TOP PORTION. THIS IS THE BOTTOM THEY ARE PROPOSING A 5 FT ORNAMENTAL METAL FENCE WITH THE MASONRY COLUMNS ALONG BRAND ROAD, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE PLACED ABOVE THE RETAINING WALL, SO WE FULLY SCREEN AND THEN THE LANDSCAPE WHICH WILL BE IN THE FRONT HERE'S A SAMPLE ELEVATION. RECOMMENDATION HAS
[00:05:05]
APPROVAL OF THE DETAILED PLAN FOR A SINGLE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES ON A PROPERTY ZONE PLAN DEVELOPMENT 16 23 FOR SINGLE FAMILY 10 USES AND APPROVAL OF AN ALLEY WAIVER. AND WE MAILED OUT. 19 LETTERS. AND WE RECEIVED TWO WITHIN A NOTIFICATION AREA AGAINST THE REQUEST ONE OUTSIDE OF THE NOTIFICATION AREA AGAINST THE REQUEST AND A TOTAL OF THREE RESPONSES. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ONE OF THE LETTERS. THEY WERE QUESTIONING MORNING. MORE INFORMATION, AND I BELIEVE YOU SAID MINIMUM WAS 3000 SQUARE FEET. DWELLING SIDE EXCEEDING. I THINK IT'S MAYBE 1500, BUT THEY ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND. WHAT THAT'S AN A P D. THE ORIGINAL P D THEN OR IT WAS NOT SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED IN THE PD, BUT THEY ARE PROPOSING AS PART OF THE DETAILED PLAN. SO THAT'S JUST IN THEIR DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU, OKAY ? AND ACTUALLY, I THINK IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, UM IN THIS PROPOSED PD AND PD CONDITIONS, WE INCLUDED THE MINIMUM DWELLING SIZE OF 3000 SQUARE PART OF THIS MISTAKE WHEN I READ HIM. OKAY GREAT. THANK YOU. BECAUSE THAT QUESTION MAY COME UP. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. NEXT. OH GOING BACK TO THE LAST ONE. SO YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE ADMINISTRATIVELY THAT 5 FT SETBACK THING THAT IS KIND OF IFFY ON THE SITE PLAN. YES, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT. YEAH. GOT IT. NEXT ITEM IS THE 21 41. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES 20 TOWN HOUSES AND OPEN SPACE JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION. UM THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED A STRAIGHT ZONING REQUEST FOR SINGLE FAMILY TOUCHED, UM, DISTRICT BACK IN 2021, AND IT WAS PRESENTED TO PLAN COMMISSION AND THE RECOMMENDATION WAS DENIAL. AND SINCE THEN, THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A NEW APPLICATION FOR A DETAILED PLAN. AND THAT IS WHAT IS BEING PRESENTED TONIGHT. AND ALSO THE INITIAL PROPOSAL WAS INTENDED FOR 27 SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED LOTS AND AFTER LOOKING AT THE DESIGN AND INCORPORATING AND NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT REDUCED TO 20. HERE'S THE CASE INFORMATION. THE ACREAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 1.72 ACRES. AND THE EXISTING ZONING, A SINGLE FAMILY, SEVEN DISTRICT AND AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT. THE CITYWIDE LOCATION MAP AND THE RED STAR SHOWS THE GENERAL LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AND THIS IS THE LOCATION MAP THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES OUTLINED IN THE TEAL BLUE COLOR, AND IT HAS THE TWO DIFFERENT ZONING. THIS PART IS AGRICULTURAL AND THIS PART IS SINGLE FAMILY. SEVEN THERE ARE TWO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WHICH WILL BE DEMOLISHED FROM THE PROPERTY SURROUNDING ZONING ARE MAINLY RESIDENTIAL TO THE NORTH. ACROSS RELEVANT ROAD IS PD 85-22 FOR PATIO HOMES. THERE'S SOME SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND THEN TO THE EAST AND TO THE SOUTH IS PD 90-31 AND ITS RESIDENTIAL AND THEN OVER HERE IS PRESIDENTIAL AS WELL TO THE WEST. THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE ENVISIONED.GARLAND PLAN DESIGNATES THIS PROPERTY AS TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS. THE TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT TYPE IS PRIMARILY CHARACTERIZED AS LOW DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED BETWEEN ONE AND SIX DWELLING UNITS. BREAKER DENSITIES IN THIS AREA VARY THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST AND SOUTH IS APPROXIMATELY 3.8 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. THE PATIO HOME ZERO LOT LINE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH IS APPROXIMATELY 6.8. UNITS BREAKER, THE MULTI FAMILY COMPLEX FURTHER TO THE WEST IS APPROXIMATELY 12 UNITS PER ACRE , AND THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A MAXIMUM DENSITY OF 11.6 MILLION UNITS BREAKER. AND THIS IS JUST THE COMPATIBILITY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN PROVIDES OPEN SPACE LOTS ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN BOUNDARY AND A PROPOSED STREET AND SIDEWALK, WHICH PROVIDES BUFFERING FROM THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. OUR TOWNHOUSE BACKYARDS, HOWEVER, THERE IS AN EXISTING ALI PROVIDED ADDITIONAL BUFFERING FOR THEIR EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TO THE NORTHEAST. LOTS X ONE AND X TWO ARE OPEN SPACE AMENITY AREAS, AND THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO PRESERVE AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE ALONG THE PROPERTY BOUNDARIES. HERE ARE THE PHOTOS. THE LEFT IMAGE IS VIEW OF THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY SHOWS ONE OF THE PROPER ONE OF THE HOMES THAT'S THERE. TO THE RIGHT IS WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. LEFT OVER HERE IS, UM SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE RIGHT PICTURE IS NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. HERE IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN, WHICH
[00:10:07]
SHOWS A TOTAL OF 20 TOWNHOUSE LOTS AND FOR A LOTS AND EIGHT OF THOSE LOTS WILL BE FRONT LOADED , WHICH ARE HERE AND THEN 12 LOTS WILL BE REAR LOADED. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A PARTIAL TALLY WAIVER. UM IT DOES MEET THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS. THEY ARE PROPOSING GUEST PARKING , ALONG WITH THE ENCLOSED SPACES THAT ARE REQUIRED, AND THERE'S AN ACCESS POINT FROM RELIC ROAD.AND WHEN ACCESS POINT FROM SOUTH COUNTRY CLUB ROAD AND THEY ARE REQUESTING SOME DEVIATIONS ON THE LOT SIZE AND DEPTH, WHICH I'LL GO OVER IN JUST A MINUTE. HERE IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. IT DOES MEET THE SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING STANDARDS. UM THEY ARE PROPOSING A, UM ORNAMENTAL FENCE, A 5 FT ORNAMENTAL FENCE ALONG WELL IT RODE WITH AND IT'S WITHIN THE 5 FT BUFFER. UM AND THEN ALSO ANOTHER ONE ALONG COUNTRY CLUB ROAD. NOW AS YOU'LL YOU'LL SEE ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. THESE ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE PRIVATE LOTS AND THE G. D C REQUIRES THEM TO BE OUTSIDE OF THE PRIVATE LOTS. BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE MAINTAINED BY THE HOA AND WE HAVE ADDED THAT AS A PT CONDITION AS WELL. UM BUT THEY MEET ALL OTHER STANDARDS HERE. HERE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS. THESE ARE FURTHER FRONT LOADED LOTS. AND IT MEETS THE. BUILDING DESIGN STANDARDS PER THE GDC. HERE IS THE DEVIATIONS TABLE. THE FIRST ONE IS FOR THE LOT. AREA MINIMUM REQUIRED IS 2000 SQUARE FEET PER THE GDC AND THEY'RE PROPOSING A MINIMUM OF 16 50. AND THE MINIMUM LOT AREAS BEING REDUCED DUE TO THE PROPOSED RIGHT OF WAY. DEDICATION ALONG WELL IT ROAD. AND THE SECOND ONE IS THE MINIMUM LOT DEPTH, WHICH IS 90 FT. AND THEY'RE PROPOSING 60 FT.
AND THE REDUCED A LOT DEPTH IS NECESSARY DUE TO THE RIGHT OF WAY. DEDICATION. THE THIRD.
DEVIATION IS ON THE SCREENING. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES EITHER MASONRY WALL OR AN ORNAMENTAL FENCE WITH THE MASONRY COLUMNS AND THE LANDSCAPING ALONG RAIL IT ROAD AND SOUTH COUNTRY CLUB ROAD, AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THE 5 FT. UM MASON 5 FT FENCE WITH THE MASONRY COLUMNS ALONG WITH THE VEGETATION. UM, BUT THOSE WILL BE WITHIN THE PRIVATE LOTS BUT WILL BE MAINTAINED BY H O A. AND THIS DEVIATION IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN THE PROPOSAL AT DEPTH.
THE LAST ONE IS ALI'S, UM, WHICH ARE REQUIRED BY THE GDC AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING AN ALLEY WAIVER FOR EIGHT LOTS, AND THE APPLICANT IS JUST PROPOSING A COMBINATION OF FRONT LOADED AND REAR LOADED LOTS. RECOGNITION IS APPROVAL OF THE CHANGE IN ZONING FROM SINGLE FAMILY, SEVEN DISTRICT AND AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED, USES AN ALLEY WAIVER AND APPROVAL OF A DETAILED PLAN FOR A SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED DEVELOPMENT. AND WE MAILED OUT. 121 LETTERS AND WE RECEIVED FIVE WITHIN A NOTIFICATION AREA AGAINST THE REQUEST ONE OUTSIDE OF THE NOTIFICATION AREA AGAINST THE REQUEST, RECEIVED A TOTAL OF SIX RESPONSES. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? NOW. FOR THE FENCING STAFF WOULD REQUIRE AN EASEMENT. THEY'RE RIGHT ON A PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR ACCESS BECAUSE THERE'S NO EASEMENT. SOME INDIVIDUALS WHEN THAT ALLOW TO MAINTAIN IT. SO. IT'S ONE THING AS THIS PROCESS WILL NEED TO BE EASEMENT THERE FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE. NOT THAT I CAN SAY THAT FROM PAST EXPERIENCE OR ANYTHING. AND IN TERMS OF USING THE RIGHT IRON FENCE. WE RECENTLY JUST CHANGED OUR SCREENING ORDINANCE TO RESTRICT WERE RIGHT IRON COULD BE ON PERIMETER FENCES, AND THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO QUALIFY FOR ANY OF THAT SINCE THIS WAS SUBMITTED BACK IN 2021. SO THERE YEAH, WELL, TWO PARTS ONE TO BE AS CORRECT THEY ARE INVESTED. THIS WAS AS YOU CAN SEE. 21-41 SUBMITTED WELL BEFORE THAT GDC CHANGE BUT ALSO CORRECTLY FROM WRONG TO BE A BUT THESE LIGHTS FACE. THE ROADWAY AS OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, SOME PAST CONCERNS WHERE YOU HAVE BACKYARDS FACING THE ROADWAYS THAT YOU GUYS HAD A COUPLE OF IT DIFFERENTLY. THANK YOU. SURE. IS IT? WANTS GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. RIGHT SO THE THIRD CASE TONIGHT IS, UH, THE APPLICANT
[00:15:01]
REQUESTS APPROVAL TO CONSTRUCT 63 MULTI FAMILY DWELLING UNITS. THIS SITE IS LOCATED AT 12 14 AND 13 02 WEST MILLER ROAD AND THE STATE IS 2.29 ACRES, AND IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED COMMUNITY RETAIL DISTRICT AND MULTI FAMILY ONE DISTRICT. THIS IS WHERE THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY.THIS IS WHERE THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE GENERAL AREA , AND IT IS GENERALLY SURROUNDED BY COMMUNITY RETAIL, AND, UH MULTI FAMILY USES WITH THE CEMETERY ACROSS THE STREET HERE, MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT HERE AND HERE WITH VARIOUS COMMUNITY RETAIL USES SURROUNDING IT, SUCH AS A GAS STATION OF FUEL PUMPS. UM, A CHURCH BUSINESS. AND SOME RETAIL HERE. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES HE NEEDS THIS AREA FOR URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS? URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS ARE HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS RESIDENTIAL OPTION MAY BE UTILIZED VERTICAL MIXED USE INTEGRATED INTO THE SURROUNDING AREA, SO THIS PROPOSED USES GENERALLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. HMM. YOU ARE PHOTOS OF THE SITE. ONE LOOKING AT TO THE SITE FROM WEST MILLER AND ONE LOOKING ACROSS TO THE NORTH OF WEST MILLER. HERE'S A VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING EAST AND WEST DOWN WEST MILLER ROAD. HERE IS THE SITE PLAN. THERE ARE SO THREE DIFFERENT BUILDINGS. UM THERE IS THE CLUBHOUSE IN THE NORTH AND THEN BUILDING A AND B OR RESIDENTIAL, UM, IN THE SOUTH ARE SORRY. THE EAST PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. THE DWELLING UNIT MIX FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, THERE WOULD BE SIX EFFICIENCY UNITS, 39 1 BED UNITS AND 18 2 BEDROOM UNITS. UM THERE ARE MULTIPLE, DIFFERENT PROPOSED UNITS, BUT THEY ALL MEET THE MINIMUM SIZE REQUIRED IN THE G.
D. C. SO LANDSCAPE PLANET ALSO REQUIRED. IT IS ALSO COMPLYING WITH THE GARLAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. AND HERE ARE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS. THIS IS FOR BUILDING A, UM, THE ONE THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE STREET. AND HERE THE SOUTH AND EAST ELEVATIONS FOR BUILDING A. IT'S BUILDING BE THE ONE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SITE. AND HERE ARE THE WEST AND EAST ELEVATIONS FOR BUILDING B.
NOW THE CHURCH THAT EXISTS CURRENTLY ON THE COMMUNITY RETAIL ZONED AREA OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS BEING A REMODELED INTO THE CLUBHOUSE, AND THIS IS THE SOUTH AND NORTH ELEVATIONS. HERE THE WEST AND EAST ELEVATIONS. AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ALL OF THESE BUILDINGS DO MEET THE G D. C S ARTICULATION AND OTHER BUILDING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. NOW FOR SOME BACKGROUND ON THIS CASE, UM CITY COUNCIL DID DENY THE REQUEST ON MAY 18TH 2021 AFTER THE 8 TO 0 APPROVAL FROM A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL BY THE PLAN COMMISSION ON APRIL 26 2021. HOWEVER A FEW THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE 2021 PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING HAS BEEN ADDED, UM AND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STATE. ONE EXTRA PARKING SPACE WAS ADDED IN ORDER TO MEET THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS OF THE GDC BUILDING ELEVATIONS WERE UPDATED. THE DENSITY IS PROPOSED THE SAME, HOWEVER, MMF TWO DISTRICT DOES EXIST NOW. AND THAT IS THE BASE TONING THAT THEY WISH TO UH, CHANGE, TOO, WITH THE PD PROPOSED AND WILL LIMIT THE NUMBER OF UNITS TO 63 BUILDING PLACEMENT IS NO LONGER A CODE REQUIREMENTS AND COVERED PARKING IS NO LONGER A CODE REQUIREMENTS. SO THERE ARE NO DEVIATIONS BEING REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT FOR THIS CASE DUE TO THESE CHANGES. THEREFORE, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM COMMUNITY RETAIL DISTRICT AND MULTI FAMILY ONE DISTRICT TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR MULTI FAMILY TO USES, AS WELL AS A DETAILED PLAN FOR THE MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. WE SENT OUT 45 LETTERS AND WE RECEIVED THREE. ALL THREE WERE WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA AND FOR THE REQUEST DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OH, YOU'RE THE LUCKY ONE TONIGHT. COMMISSIONER ROBIN AND COMMISSIONER JENKINS. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. UM. WHAT IS THE THIS WAS UH, DENIED BY COUNSEL AND IT LOOKS SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME IN WAS A 2021 WHEN I WAS ON COUNCIL FOR THIS DISTRICT. AND
[00:20:08]
THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE DENIAL AT THE TIME WAS BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC ON MILLER ROAD SPECIFICALLY, THE INTERSECTION OF SATURN AND MILLER'S PROBABLY THE WORST INTERSECTION IN THE CITY OF GARLAND BACKS UP SUBSTANTIALLY DOWNHILL EAST ALONG MILLER. IN THE CONCERN WAS VEHICLES NOT SO MUCH THE OVERALL TRAFFIC IMPACT. I KNOW THERE WAS NOT A TRAFFIC STUDY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I KNOW THAT THERE WASN'T ONE HERE. AS WELL. BUT THE CONCERN WAS NOT SO MUCH THE OVERALL TRAFFIC IMPACT BUT THE FACT THAT THOSE INTERSECTIONS AND ACTUALLY THE OTHER TO THE DOWNSTREAM INTERSECTION THAT GLENBROOK AND MILLER IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS IN THE CITY.IN TERMS OF REX, I BELIEVE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE REDONE, BUT WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR INKING INGRESS AND EGRESS INTO THIS PROPERTY AND ADDRESSING THOSE OR IF YOU KNOW YES, SO WE DID DISCUSS WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT A LITTLE AND AGAIN, UM, LIKE YOU NOTED, A TRAFFICKED IMPASSE AND IMPACT ANALYSIS WAS NOT REQUIRED, UM, AND THE ONLY KIND OF CONCERNS THAT WE GOT FROM THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT IS THAT THEY FELT THAT TURNING LEFT OF THE PROPERTY WOULD BE A BIT DIFFICULT, BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT THERE WERE NO EXPRESS CONCERNS, AND I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGES TO AT WEST MILLER ROAD AT THE MOMENT. OKAY SO THEY'RE SO AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, THE APPLICANT HASN'T MADE ANY HAS AN ADDRESS THAT ISSUE OF TURNING LEFT UPON THE MILLER AT ALL. I DON'T BELIEVE, UM, THEY WERE, I GUESS, UM EXPRESS. THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT DIDN'T EXPRESS CONCERNS TO THE APPLICANT ABOUT IT. UNDERSTAND THE COUNCIL DID TWO YEARS AGO, THE COUNCIL EXPRESSED. WE DENIED IT ON THAT BASIS THAT ALL THE TRANSPORTATION WASN'T CONCERNED WITH THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC THAT THE THAT LIGHT IN HAS NOT BEEN ALLEVIATED TRAFFIC IN TERMS OF THE WORK THAT WAS DONE AT THE INTERSECTION AT UH, MILLER AND 78 IN MILLER AND SATURN IS NOT ALLEVIATED ANY OF THOSE TRAFFIC ISSUES. AND SO I MEAN IN THE IN THE MORE ACTUALLY AT ALL TIMES OF DAY. THAT BACK THAT THAT LIGHT BACKS UP ALL THE WAY DOWN TO GLENBROOK. NO I WAS JUST GONNA ADD. I MEAN, MATT MATTHEWS CORRECT ABOUT ALL THAT AND LACK OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR TIA AND OVERALL IMPACT, BUT BUT, YEAH, TRANSPORTATION DID ACKNOWLEDGE SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE RESIDENTS TURNING LEFT ON THERE. IT DOES BACK UP, ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING. IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT WHEN THIS WAS ON A HARD REQUIREMENT, NECESSARILY FOR TRANSPORTATION. BUT JUST IN A CONVERSATION WITH BETWEEN MR LOOKY AND I YOU KNOW, ONE SUGGESTION TO THE DEVELOPER COULD BE TO JUST HAVE SIGNAGE. THIS IS NO LEFT TURNS OUT OF THERE. UM IT'S YOU KNOW, AND, OF COURSE, EVENTUALLY MILLER ROAD. IT IS CALLED TO HAVE A, UM DIVIDED MEDIA AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT REAL IMMINENT AT THIS TIME. THAT'S JUST FOR THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN THAT EVENTUALLY IT'LL BE IMPROVED TO BE AS SUCH THAT AGAIN. THAT'S NOT ANYTIME REAL SOON OR ANYTHING, BUT THAT'S A CONSIDERATION AS WELL FOR THE LONG TERM, BUT THAT WAS A SUGGESTION THAT MR LOOKY HAD, PERHAPS THAT COULD HELP THE RESIDENTS MAYBE ENCOURAGE THEM TO TURN RIGHT VERSUS AN IMMEDIATE LEFT. JUST WORRIED THAT THAT BECAUSE THE OTHER PIECE OF IT IS ONE IS THE DELAY IN THE INABILITY TO TURN LEFT AND THE OTHER IS THAT VEHICLES COMING EASTBOUND. DOWN MILLER. I MEAN THAT THAT'S THE LIKE I SAID AT MILLER AND GLENBROOK. THERE ARE IT'S A SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEM WITH ACCIDENTS. THERE ARE PEOPLE FLYING DOWN. NO ONE, OKAY? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER JENKINS. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. GOOD EVENING, SIR. GO BACK TO YOUR CONSIDERATION OR YOU'RE ON AND CONSIDERATION SIDE. CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH BULLET 0.4, PLEASE. THE PEDESTRIAN LIKE I'M SORRY THAT THEY WANTED TO GET OUT CHANGES SINCE 2021 DENSITY PROPOSES THE SAME BUT NO LONGER DEVIATION PER M F TWO DISTRICT YES. SO BACK IN 2021 WHEN THIS REACHED PLAN COMMISSION IN CITY COUNCIL, UM WE DIDN'T HAVE AN M F TWO DISTRICT. IT WAS JUST THE MULTI FAMILY DISTRICT AND THAT WAS 18 UNITS PER ACRE. AND SO AT THAT POINT, IT WAS A DEVIATION TO HAVE 63 UNITS FOR THIS SITE, HOWEVER, NOW WITH THE END OF TWO DISTRICT BEING 32 UNITS PER ACRE . UM THEY ARE UNDER THE MAXIMUM LIMIT, AND NOW THEY DON'T NEED A DENSITY DEVIATION TO PUT THIS MANY UNITS ON THE SITE IF THERE WERE TO BE APPROVED OF THIS ZONING WITH A MULTI FAMILY TO ZONING BASE IN THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT, OKAY. THANK YOU.
AND CAN YOU AND I'M SORRY TO QUIZ YOU LIKE THIS ON THE SPOT. THIS ISN'T GRADE SCHOOL. YOU GRADUATED AND EXCELLED. I'M SURE A STUDENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. AH MULTIFAMILY ONE. WHAT WAS THE DNC? WHAT'S THE DENSITY? MAXIMUM FOR THAT 18 UNITS BREAKERS, SIR . OKAY SO 18 UNITS PER ACRE
[00:25:03]
VERSUS THIS IS M F TWO IS 32 UNITS PER ACRE. OKAY? OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW THE QUESTIONS? RIGHT. THANK YOU. RIGHT THE FOURTH CASE TONIGHT, THE APPLICANT REQUEST APPROVAL TO AMEND A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 03 54 TO CONSTRUCT AN AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE BUILDING WITH TIN SERVICE BASE. THIS SITE IS LOCATED AT 11511 AND 11611. LBJ FREEWAY WITH 9.9 0.48 ACRES IS THESE SIDES OF THE SITE AND IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED PDO 3 54. THIS IS WHERE THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY. AND THIS IS WHERE THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE SURROUNDING AREA TO THE SOUTH. THAT IS 6 35 INTO THE NORTH. THERE IS A RAILROAD AND IT IS SURROUNDED BY VARIOUS INDUSTRIAL USES. I BELIEVE A HOTEL TO THE WEST, A RETAIL STORE AND THEN A CAR DEALERSHIP TO THE EAST. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LIST THIS AREA FOR BUSINESS CENTERS. IT'S THE DEFINITION OF BUSINESS CENTERS, AND WE DO BELIEVE THIS DEVELOPMENT TYPE, UM, IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA. YOUR PHOTOS OF THE SITE. UM CURRENTLY THERE ARE 12 DOORS FACING THE STREET AS YOU CAN SEE BEING SCREENED BY HEDGES. AND HERE AS A VIEW, LOOKING EAST AND WEST DOWN LBJ FREEWAY. CURRENTLY, IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY INSTEAD OF THE ACCESS ROAD, THEY ARE MORE OR LESS THE SAME LEVEL OF ELEVATION. SO UM, IF YOU WERE ON THE HIGHWAY, YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY GET A BETTER VIEW OF THE SITE. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE UM, HERE'S THE SITE PLAN. THE NEW BUILDING IS BEING PUT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE EXISTING 12 AUTOMOBILE SERVICE BASE. UM, AND SO THERE WILL BE 10 IN THIS BUILDING RIGHT HERE. HERE'S THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE, THOUGH, THAT NO LANDSCAPING WILL BE ADDED AS UM, THERE ARE NO PARKING SPOTS BEING ADDED, NOR IS THE FRENCH IS AFFECTED. DIDN'T DID YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND POINT OUT THAT WALL THAT THEY'RE BUILDING? OH YES. SORRY, SIR. YES, THEY ARE ALSO PROPOSING, UM AND 8 FT WALL THAT IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE GDC IN FRONT OF THE AUTOMATED SERVICE BASE AND POSITIONS SIMILAR TO THE YEAH, I COULDN'T SHOW IT ON THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS HERE. UM, SO THESE ARE THE REVISED BUILDING ELEVATIONS NOW ON THE ONES THAT WERE SUBMITTED AT FIRST, A WE DID NOTICE AN ERROR WHERE THE VERDICT ARTICULATION DID NOT MEET THE GDC REQUIREMENTS.HOWEVER UM, IT WAS SUBMITTED, UM TODAY WITH THESE ELEVATIONS THAT DO MEET THE G D. C REQUIREMENTS WITH VERTICAL ARTICULATION. SO NOW THE THIS EXHIBIT WILL BE USED FOR THE CITY COUNCIL REPORT . UM AND WITH THIS CHANGE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS DO COMPLY WITH THE G. D. C. AND HERE IN THE BOTTOM, THERE'S THE PROPOSED 8 FT. SOLID WALL AGAIN. THAT IS A NOT REQUIRED. UM AND THAT WILL BE SCREENING THE 10 AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE BAY DOORS, WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE ARE DEVIATION. UM, SO CURRENTLY UM, NO SERVICE BAY DOORS MAY FACE A PUBLIC STREET. HOWEVER THEY DO CURRENTLY CONTAIN 12 STREET FACING AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE BAY DOORS, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING 10 WITH THE 8 FT SCREENING WALL THAT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE GDC TO BETTER CONCEAL. UM THESE 10 AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE BAY DOORS AND I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THESE USES THE AUTO SALES AND AUTO REPAIR ARE BOTH ALLOWED BY RIGHT ON THE SITE, SO IT IS MORE OF A REQUEST FOR A DEVIATION AND AN UPDATED DETAILED PLAN THAN ANYTHING ELSE. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT 3 54 FOR COMMERCIAL USES AND APPROVAL OF A DETAILED PLAN FOR AN AUTOMATIVE SERVICE BUILDING. UM WE SENT OUT 34 NOTIFICATION LETTERS AND RECEIVED ZERO AND RESPONSE. ANY QUESTIONS? SEE NONE. THANK YOU, SIR. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING.
COMMISSIONERS THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A MAJOR WAIVER TO THE DOWNTOWN SIGN STANDARDS TO REPLACE AN EXISTING AWNING AND INSTALLING NEW STOREFRONT AWNING WITH SCIENCE, SO IT'S PRIMARILY
[00:30:01]
A SIGNAGE RELATED REQUESTS THAT TRIGGERED THIS MAJOR WAIVER NEEDED. THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY IS 6 14 MAIN STREET, IT IS DISPENSARIES RESTAURANT. ACREAGE OF THE ACTUAL PROPERTY IS ONE EXCUSE ME 0.15 ACRES, WHICH ROUGHLY TRANSLATES TO ABOUT 6500 SQUARE FEET. IT IS OWNED WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT MORE SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN HISTORIC SUBDISTRICT. AND OF COURSE, THE USE OF THE CURRENT BUILDING OR OF THE BUILDING IS A RESTAURANT, WHICH IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT AND THE REQUEST AT HAND IS PURELY REGARDING SIGNAGE. HERE IS A GENERAL LOCATION OF THE LOCATION MAP OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.AND MORE SPECIFICALLY SHOWN HERE IF YOU CAN SEE THE TEAL OUTLINE AGAIN. IT'S JUST BANDERAS. AND ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF MAIN STREET BETWEEN UM, HAD TO DOUBLE CHECK. SEVENTH STREET AND SIXTH STREET, AND YOU CAN SEE THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE JUST ONE BLOCK OVER TO THE EAST THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. YEAH THE COMFORTS OF PLAN IDENTIFIES THE CORE DOWNTOWN AREA OF GARLAND AS COMMUNITY CENTERS, WHICH REALLY IS AN ARRAY OF USES PRIMARILY COMMERCIAL. AND ONE OF THE POINT OUT THAT ALSO THE GARDEN GARLAND CULTURAL ARTS MASTER PLAN STRATEGY. EXCUSE ME TOUCHES ON DOWNTOWN SIGNAGE, IT STATES IN THE SUBSECTION THAT'S CALLED FOSTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE BUSINESS SECTOR. UM THAT FOLLOWING THE EXCEPTION MADE FOR DOWNTOWN GARLAND DEVELOP A SIGNAGE VARIANTS THAT ALLOWS FOR CREATIVE SIGNAGE THAT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PRIVATE BUSINESSES TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE VISUAL VIBRANCY OF THE CITY, AND I'LL PULL UP A SLIDE HERE IN A FEW SLIDES THAT MENTIONS KIND OF THE CRITERIA FOR MAJOR WAIVERS.
IT'S NOT A TRADITIONAL VARIANTS WHERE A PHYSICAL HARDSHIP NEEDS TO BE SHOWN. IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. CRITERIA REGARDING TO IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA. SO STAFF FEELS THAT THIS REQUEST ALIGNS WITH THAT VISION. HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. DON'T SPEND AREAS ON THE TOP LEFT THERE. AND I'M GONNA SHOW. OH, HERE'S HERE'S ACTUALLY WHAT IS TRIGGERING THE MAJOR WAIVER. SPECIFICALLY THE REQUEST IS FOR AWNING SIGNAGE. THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE THE EXISTING AWNING WITH A NEW SIGNAGE WITH A NEW METAL AWNING. THE WAY THE GDC CONTEMPLATES AWNING AWNING SIGNS THAT REALLY, UM CONTEMPLATES LETTERING BEING DIRECTLY ON THE AWNINGS SUCH AS BEING PART OF THE CLOTH OR PAINTED ON SO IT HAS A EIGHT INCH VERTICAL HEIGHT MAXIMUM. WHEREAS THIS REQUEST THE NEW LETTERING WILL BE ATTACHED ON TOP OF THE AWNING AND JUST KIND OF HANDLE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. SO THE SIGN WALL OVERALL WILL APPROXIMATELY BE ABOUT 41.7 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE AND WILL BE ILLUMINATED. SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S MORE THAN THE EIGHT INCHES. IT'LL RANGE FROM. APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 40 INCHES IN VERTICAL HEIGHT, DEPENDING ON THE LETTER. UM BUT AGAIN, IT'S JUST CONTEMPLATE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE SIGN IS INTENDED TO SERVE AS THE PRIMARY BUILDING SIGNAGE KIND OF SIMILAR TO LIKE A WALL SIGN. SO I'LL SHOW KIND OF A BEFORE AND AFTER HERE IS, OF COURSE EXISTING WITH EXISTING YELLOW AWNING, AND HERE'S WHAT IS PROPOSED. AND I'LL KIND OF JUST GO BACK. JUST EXISTING AGAIN. GET YELLOW AWNING WILL BE REMOVED AND WHAT IS PROPOSED IS A NEW METAL. BLACK METAL AWNING. KIND OF LIKE A DOCTOR SAYS, WHICH IS BETTER NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER TWO. YES, SIR. AND HERE'S OF COURSE, THE SIGNAGE AT HAND BEING REQUESTED THE CURSIVE WHITE LETTERING. DON'T SPEND AREAS WILL REST ON TOP OF THE ATTACHED ON TOP OF THE METAL AWNING AND ALSO JUST KIND OF AS PART OF IT'S PART OF A GREATER BUILDING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THAT THE APPLICANT IS UNDERGOING TO THE TO THE BUILDING. BUT ONE OTHER NOTABLE THINGS, YOU'LL NOTICE THE HISTORIC TRANSOM WINDOWS THAT WILL BE EXPOSED AS A RESULT OF THIS AS WELL, WHICH ARE CURRENTLY COVERED UP BY THE YELLOW AWNING. SO AGAIN KIND OF A BEFORE AND AFTER HERSELF. UM, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. UM AND THE CRITERIA FOR THE MAJOR WAIVERS FOR THE GDC IS LISTED HERE. MAJOR WAIVERS MAY BE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.
FOLLOWING A RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLANNING DIRECTOR AND THE PLANE COMMISSION IN ORDER TO PROVE A MAJOR WAVE OF THE CITY COUNCIL FINDINGS ARE LISTED AS FOLLOWS, MEETS THE GENERAL INTENT OF THIS DISTRICT AND WILL RESULT IN AN IMPROVED PROJECT, WHICH WILL BE AN ATTRACTIVE CONTRIBUTION TO THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT AND WITH THAT. COMMISSIONERS WE MAILED OUT 72 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE, UNIVERSITY OF TWO RESPONSES AND THOSE WERE BOTH IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST AND WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
COMMISSIONER ROSE. ARE YOU AWARE , SIR, THAT THE OWNER HAS APPROVED THIS AS WELL? UM I
[00:35:02]
BELIEVE SO THE APPLICANT CAN CERTAINLY CONFIRM THAT AND WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER . THEY CERTAINLY SIGNED THE POPULAR DID SIGN THE APPLICATION, SO OKAY? AND WE DO REQUIRE THAT WITH ANY ZONING OR ENTITLEMENT APPLICATION, SO YES, SIR. AND THEN COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS. DID YOU KNOW THAT? UH THE MEXICAN RESTAURANT IS FRIENDS WITH THE GUITAR GUY. IN THE I THINK THEY HAD A CONVERSATION AND A GOOD TARGET. I SAID THEY WERE GETTING A NEW SIGNS OF THE MEXICAN PLACE WANTED TO KEEP UP WITH THE GUITAR GUY. THAT'S WONDERFUL. I THINK IT WAS ACTUALLY ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN WE WERE PRESENTED THAT ONE. YEAH SIMILAR CRITERIA . ALMOST SIMILAR QUESTIONS. WHAT I HEARD BEHIND THE SCENES CATALYTIC EFFECT. YEAH MAYBE THAT CATCHES ON TO SOME OF THE REST OF THEM. SURE. MISSION REPAIRS, AND COMMISSIONER JENKINS. GOOD EVENING. IF YOU CAN REMIND ME IS THE SMALLEST SIGN. BE A LIGHTED SIGN. YES AND IT'LL BE LIGHTED DURING THE EVENING. RIGHT? THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER JENKINS. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR TO QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS HOPE THE TREND DOES CATCH AND THEN WE DO SEE SOME COMPLETE, YOU KNOW, REDEVELOPMENT DOWN THERE. UM THE FIRST QUESTION IS, AND IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO PIGGYBACK ON COMMISSIONER PARIS IS QUESTION HIS OTHER RESTRICTIONS TO HOW LONG THAT LIGHT CAN STAY ON. UM, WAS GOING TO BE ON ALL NIGHT. I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR TIMING CONSTRUCTIONS NECESSARILY. I MAY HAVE TO GET BACK WITH YOU ON THAT THERE ARE SOME BRIGHTNESS AND ILLUMINATION STANDARDS. I KNOW WHEN THE TIMING THE ONLY THING THAT I THINK THE G D C COVERS FOR CERTAIN TIMES A DAY IS REGARDING THE CHANGEABLE ELECTRONIC SIGNS. WHICH THIS IS NOT THAT THIS IS A STANDARD SIGN THAT WOULD BE INTERNALLY LIT. BUT UM, I THINK AS LONG AS THEY CAN MEET THE KIND OF ILLUMINATION BRIGHTNESS STANDARDS, SO NOT BLINDING PEOPLE. IN OTHER WORDS, FLASHING FLASHING LIGHTS COULD BE OUR NEW THING. UM, THE BRIGHT, DAZZLING FASHION WAITS. THE SECOND QUESTION IS, HOW DOES THIS WAVER AS SEEING AS HOW WE'RE GOING TO SOUNDS LIKE IT'S MORE WAIVERS. REQUESTS AFFECT THE HISTORIC SUBDISTRICT DESIGNATION, OR DOES IT AT ALL WHAT WE SEE? I GUESS YOU KNOW EVERYONE DOWN THERE BE MOVING TO THIS NEW STYLE OR OR WHAT? NO IT'S I COULDN'T SAY FOR SURE THIS IS JUST THIS IS THE SECOND REQUEST, AND MAYBE IT'S BEEN A GOOD YEAR OR SO. SO I DON'T KNOW IF I'D CONSIDER THAT YOU KNOW A LOT OF REQUESTS COMING IN. THERE'S NO OTHER ONE THAT I'M AWARE OF. THAT'S CURRENTLY IN THE QUEUE. SO I DON'T THINK WE'VE QUITE SEEN THAT YET, BUT PERHAPS A SLOW, SLOW MOVEMENT TOWARDS MAYBE MORE CREATIVE SIGNAGE. UM AGAIN, I THINK WITH THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE WE SAW ON THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE AND THAT THE APPLICANTS OVERALL INTENT IS TO REALLY KIND OF PRESERVE AND KIND OF EXPOSED MORE OF THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THE BUILDING WHERE A LOT OF IT IS COVERED UP BY THE YELLOW AWNING, WHICH IS NOT REALLY HIS STORY IS REALLY KIND OF TRYING TO GO BACK A LITTLE BIT AND RESPECT THE HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING. SO I THINK THERE'S SOME UNIQUENESS WITH THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST VERSUS MAYBE THE ONE WE SAW, UM WE SAW LAST YEAR. UM BUT THAT BEING SAID IN A MAJOR WAIVERS. THEY CERTAINLY ARE CASE BY CASE BASIS. THEY DON'T NECESSARILY CREATE A PRECEDENT OR HAVE TO CREATE A PRECEDENT AS A CASE BY CASE BASIS THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS, AND ULTIMATELY, CITY COUNCIL DECISION ON UM, YOU KNOW, DECIDING WHAT'S APPROPRIATE AND PER THE CRITERIA AND CERTAINLY IF THERE'S A PARTICULAR TREND WHERE WE START SEEING A VARIANCE OR WAIVER OVER AND OVER WITH THE SAME REQUIREMENT THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CODE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE'VE QUITE SEEN THAT YET, BUT IT LOOKS IN MY OPINION, GREAT MEETS THE GENERAL INTENT, AND THE REQUIREMENTS IN CITY COUNCIL CAN OPINE ON THE REST OF IT. BUT TO ME, IT LOOKS GREAT. THANK YOU.THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE. WE ARE IN RECESS UNTIL SEVEN O'CLOCK.

ITEM 38 CONSIDERED. THE DETAILS. 16 DAYS, 23% YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL OUT. I'M JUST TRYING. GOOD EVENING, MR CHAIRMAN. OH IT'S WORKING GOOD.AS STARTS WITH ME. UH GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN AND ALL COME COMMISSIONERS AND IT'S MY PLEASURE TO BE HERE AND MY NAME IS A BED AND I'M A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER AND FLOODPLAIN MANAGER.
[00:45:01]
AND MY ADDRESS IS FOR 40. LAFITE LANE, COLLEYVILLE, TEXAS. SO I HAD BEEN WORKING WITH THIS PROJECT FOR A LONG, LONG TIME THE PROJECT IS ITSELF IS VERY COMPLICATED. IT WAS APPROVED BEFORE OR WITH THE PD AND EVERYTHING WAS APPROVED BEFORE THE DETAILED SITE PLAN. BUT SINCE THAT TIME PASSES, THE REGULATION HAS BEEN CHANGED BY A LOT. ONE OF THE REGULATION IS CITY GARLAND T. N I. R S MAP FOR THE FLOOD STUDY REQUIRES 2019 VERSION. THAT'S ONE THING. US ARMY CORPS ENGINEERS REQUIREMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, SO WE COMPLIED WITH THAT CITY OF GARLAND REQUIRES TWO DRIVEWAY FOR THE FIRE FIRE REGULATION, WHICH USED TO BE ONE BEFORE, SO THESE ARE THE MAJOR CONCERN THAT WE HAD TO COME UP WITH A NEW SITE PLAN. NOW WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ANY DEVIATION ALL WE ARE DOING THIS FROM THE PREVIOUS, UH THINGS THAT WAS ONCE APPROVED, WHICH IS NOT COMPLYING. NOW WE ARE WE COMPLIED AND THEN REDID THE FULL FLOOD STUDY. ACCORDING TO THE NEW DESIGN, I JUST WANT TO GO THROUGH. IN A GLANCE WHAT WE ARE DOING. THIS IS THE OLD PLAN THAT YOU HAD BEEN LOOKING IS IT HAS ONE DRIVEWAY. 12 HOMES, 10,000 SQUARE FEET, HOMES. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS ONE. YOU SEE THAT IT EXTENDED ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTH, BUT THE NEW U. S.ARMY CORPS REGULATION DOES NOT. IT PROBABLY GETS TO FEEL ANY KIND OF AND NATURAL CHANNEL. SO WE HAVE TO SHORTEN THAT ONE. ANOTHER BIG PROBLEM THAT WE FACE THAT ON THIS PARTICULAR SITE PLAN. WE HAD TO CUT A LOT OF TREES TO THE WEST SIDE NEXT TO THE ROLE IT CREAK AND MITIGATION COST WAS $1.7 MILLION. SO WE CAME UP WITH A BETTER IDEA. WE SQUEEZED. UH UH, PROPERTY TOWARDS THE ROAD. AND THEN THERE ARE THERE IS A SPACE WHERE THERE IS ALMOST LESS NUMBER OF TREES.
AND IF YOU GO BACK, THIS IS THE DESIGN THAT WE FIRST CAME UP WITH. BUT AFTER U S ARMY CORPS CHANGED THE REGULATION, WE HAD TO COME UP COME UP WITH THE SHORTER NOT TO ENCROACH. BUT YOU SEE THAT THE POND NOW WE HAVE A TWO POINT WITH ANOTHER POINT IS LIKE THE EXACT SHAPE DOUBLE REASON WE DID IT. WE TRIED TO PRESERVE MOST OF THE TREES, SO WE HANDPICKED IN OUR PLAN. THIS TREE IS GOOD. HISTORY IS BAD. THAT'S HOW WE THE ALIGNED ALL THE OTHER POND. AND THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP ALL THE AND THE DIFFERENCE. YOU SEE THAT THERE ARE TWO DRIVEWAYS FOR THE FIRE REQUIREMENT. AND ALL OTHER THINGS ARE SAME. AH, WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE HOUSES COST WILL BE AROUND $1.5 MILLION AH TO COMPLY WITH THIS. THE CONSTRUCTION COST IS VERY HIGH ON IN THIS AREA BECAUSE OF THE WE ARE RAISING THE PROPERTY. THERE ARE MITIGATION COSTS.
THERE ARE U S. ARMY CORPS ENGINEERS COST AND RETAINING WALLS WITH THAT. WE ARE EXPECTING EACH LOT WILL BE AROUND AROUND $300,000 OR AND THEN ONCE WE BUILD THE HOUSES, IT WILL BE AROUND $1.5 MILLION, SO OUR MINIMUM REQUIREMENT. WE PUT 2000 SQUARE FEET BUT I BELIEVE THAT WILL GO AROUND 2500 TO 4000 SQUARE FEET TO COMPENSATE THE COST OF, UH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. SO THIS IS ALL ABOUT IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. I AM IN YOUR WALLET. THAN A COUNCIL. BRUISES EVENTUALLY. WHO STARTS TO WAIT SIX MONTHS OR YEARS. THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO START. BECAUSE THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS IS LOWEST COMPARED TO SO WE HAVE TO START REALLY QUICKLY. THANK YOU, MR ROSE. UH GOOD EVENING. I'M THE OWNER. I DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN ASK HIM. MY NAME IS FEDERAL QUASI. MIGHT LIVE 2005 ROCK DOUBLE COURT WEST ELECT ACCESS I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT I DON'T HAVE TO EXPECT THANK YOU. THIS CHAIR.
NO. BOTH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THREE SEED WE HAVE.GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS GREG GARREN. I'M AN ARCHITECT. MY ADDRESS IS P O BOX. 53 40, TEXAS 75126. AND WE ARE HERE IN 2021. WORKING ON THIS PROJECT. UM, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. RESOLVING DIFFERENT CODE ISSUES TO DO SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED ON THIS SINGLE FAMILY LOT. AND AGRICULTURAL ZONE BLOCK. AND I SAW THE PRESENTATION EARLIER AT 5 30. AND, UM. WE COULD. RUN THROUGH SOME OF THE SITE PLAN. UH, AND THE PROPERTY DIMENSIONS.
AND I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE REGARDING THE PLAN.
I APOLOGIZE. I DID. I DID NOT HEAR ALL OF THE CONTENT. FREE ME. ANY ANY TRAFFIC OR T I A TRAFFIC INTACT. FOR THAT AREA. JUST THINKING ABOUT THE TWO DRIVEWAYS THAT WE HAVE. AND 20 RESIDENTS. IT WENT THROUGH A VERY THOROUGH ENGINEERING REVIEW WITH THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. AND ALL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. WHEN UM WE HAD ABOUT 30 DIFFERENT SCHEMES THAT WE WENT THROUGH. SO I IMAGINE WE TALKED ABOUT IT. AND OUR CIVIL ENGINEER WORK THROUGH UM, THE DRIVEWAY LOCATIONS AND THERE IS A DRIVEWAY SPACING REQUIREMENT TO THE CORNER, SO THE SITE IS SET UP SO THE DRIVEWAYS ARE FURTHEST FROM THE INTERSECTION. AND THERE ARE TWO DRIVEWAYS BECAUSE OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO WAYS IN IN AND OUT. ORIGINALLY WE WANTED TO TRY TO DO OR ONE OF THE SCHEMES WAS TO HAVE A COLD A SACK. AND A SINGLE DRIVEWAY. BUT SINCE IT'S CONSIDERED THAT THEY'RE NOT DETACHED THEIR TOWN HOMES. NEEDED TO DRIVEWAYS, SO THEY'RE LOCATED AS FAR FROM THE CORNERS AS POSSIBLE. TO AVOID THE INTERSECTION. THAT'S RIGHT, MR. OKAY? THANK YOU. I HAVE? NO WE'RE BACK. WHOA! YEAH. WELL, I THINK WE'RE BACK. I HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKER CARDS IN THIS ITEM . IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE? I THINK WE'RE GETTING SOME FEEDBACK.

ALRIGHT COMMISSIONERS MOTION DISCUSSION. I'M LIVE AGAIN. YES. GO AHEAD

COMMISSIONER PARIS THAT WE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THAT WE APPROVED. SECOND. THE MOTION IS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVED THE APPLICATION. AND MOTION BY COMMISSIONER PARIS AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JENKS. DISCUSSION. I WILL ONLY SAY THAT I VOTED AGAINST THIS. TOWN HOME USE IN THAT LOCATION, AND THAT HASN'T CHANGED, SO I WILL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS PARTICULAR USE AND THAT LOCATION FOR NOT ONLY THE USE WHEN THEY'RE AREAS REAL CLOSE, IT COULD HAVE TOWN HOMES. WE'VE GOT A NICE MIX. THROUGHOUT THE CITY. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE DENYING ANYBODY ANYTHING. AND, UH, THEY'RE TRYING TO SAVE TREES. BUT THERE'S A ROADWAY ALONG ONE SIDE THAT WILL PROBABLY KILL OR DECIMATE MOST OF THE TREES, BACKING UP TO THE NEIGHBORS. AND IN THE BACK, I SAW INFRASTRUCTURE FOR DRAINAGE THAT WILL PROBABLY KILL THE OTHER TREES. SO, UM UM, I'M STILL AGAINST THIS ONE BE VOTING AGAINST HIM. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. ALRIGHT THE MOTION IS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVED THE APPLICATION. AND SO WE WILL TAKE A SHOW OF VOTES ALL IN FAVOR. HMM OKAY.1234 OPPOSED. OKAY. THE VOTE. FAILS. COMMISSION OF NINE BY OUR BY LAWS. WE HAVE TO HAVE A MAJORITY OF THE COMMISSION WHETHER THEY'RE PRESENT OR NOT, SO WE NEED FIVE VOTES TO PASS SOMETHING. AND SO WE HAVE A VOTE OF 54 TO 3 AND AN OPPOSITION WHERE COMMISSIONER DALTON CHAIRMAN ROBERTS AND COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS AND ME. I WAS OPPOSED. YOU'RE OPPOSED TO COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS. DID YOU VOTE FOR AGAINST AGAINST OH, OKAY, THERE'S 44. THANK YOU. I DIDN'T SEE THE OTHER HAND BEHIND YOUR HEAD THERE. SORRY. SO WE'RE STILL OPEN FOR DISCUSSION BACK AND FORTH OR ANOTHER MOTION. I WENT HERE. COMMISSIONER PAIRS I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP FOR DISCUSSION. AND HERE A BIT MORE . THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK ON THE, UM THE DENIAL OF IT, BUT OTHER I WELCOME OTHER FEEDBACKS ON REASONS WHY BEING OPPOSED. UM I SEE COMPUTER ROSE TRIED TO TIME IN AND I THINK HE'S CONTROLLING IT FROM THE BACK THERE. UH, WELL, WHY DON'T WE JUST GO DOWN THE DATES? WELL, LET'S DO IT THAT WAY. COMMISSIONER DALTON UM CHAIRMAN . I AGREE WITH YOUR POSITION CONCERNING THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION. UM. I TRIED BY THAT SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. DOWN, ROLL IT. ROAD AND COUNTRY CLUB SPECIFICALLY DOWN COUNTRY CLUB.
AND I AM I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR A GROUP OF TOWN HUNTERS. OKAY? ANYBODY. COMING THIS WAY CARE TO SPEAK? HMM. I WOULD LIKE IT. UH, DID. I TOOK IT. YOU WISH TO SPEAK, SIR? OKAY UM, LET ME LET ME GO THROUGH SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS FIRST, BECAUSE WE DID NOT TECHNICALLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING BECAUSE THAT MOTION FAILED. NOW WE CAN ASK THIS GENTLEMAN BACK UP TO SPEAK IF YOU WANT TO GET SOME MORE INPUT, OKAY? GET MORE FEEDBACK.
COME ON UP, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND THE MICROPHONE FOR ME, PLEASE. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JASON EDDINGTON AND I AM ACTUALLY LIVING 40 ALSO, 9500 FM 7 40 40, TEXAS, SO I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THESE GENTLEMEN FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS, UM, ON AND OFF IN DIFFERENT INVESTMENT PROPERTIES, AND I KNOW THEY'VE TAKEN UM A LOT OF EFFORT IN TRYING TO DEVELOP THESE COMMUNITIES. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M TALKING.
I'M REALLY KIND OF HEARING ABOUT ABOUT, UM, YOUR CONCERN AS FAR AS THE FORCED IN THE TREES. IS UM WOULD THEY BE OPEN TO RE PLANNING AND DOING SOME TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT? UM AS FAR AS THAT, AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN OPTION FOR THEM, IF THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS FEEL WOULD HELP. REALLY PUSHED THE VALUE IN THE COMMUNITY, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND DEFORESTATION AND LOSING TREES. BUT WITH THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD CONSIDER AS FAR AS AN OPTION, AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE HAD ACCOUNT AS FAR AS HOW MANY TREES THERE ARE, BUT SINCE I BROUGHT THAT TOPIC UP TO ME. THAT WAS KIND OF A SIDE ISSUE.
OKAY STILL THE TOWN HOMES AT THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION, OKAY, THAT WE DON'T LIKE TOWN HOMES.
WE'VE APPROVED DOZENS OF PROJECTS, OKAY? YEAH. IS THERE ANY ANYTHING? AS FAR AS THE TOWN HOMES, UM, OUTSIDE OF JUST THE THAT PRIMARY ISSUE, SO THAT'S KIND OF MORE OF AN ANCILLARY
[01:00:06]
ISSUES, JUST A CONCERN OF TOWN HOMES IN THAT IMMEDIATE AREA. CORRECT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN. WE'RE BACK OPEN TO DISCUSSION. UM COMMISSIONER A. ANYBODY WANT TO SPEAK UP FOR THE COMMISSIONER ROSE OKAY. COMMISSIONER ROSE YES. WE HAD A CASE OUR LAST MEETING WHERE IT WAS BASICALLY DEAD EVEN AND WE PASSED IT ON TO COUNSEL TO MAKE THEIR DECISIONS . SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS LEAVE IT AT 4 TO 4. PASS IT ON A COUNCIL AT THEM DECIDE UNLESS ANYBODY SEES HIMSELF CHANGING ABOUT THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING. HEADING IN THAT DIRECTION, SO THIS WILL BE AFFORDABLE FOR VOTE. AND IT GOES ON TO COUNCIL RECOMMENDED.THERE'S A DENIAL, BUT THAT'S JUST A TECHNICALITY. ALRIGHTY. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ABOUT A FIVE MINUTE RECESS TO REBOOT THE ELECTRONIC AND THEN WE WILL HERE WE GO. WE'RE BACK LIVE. OF COURSE. I HAD MY FINGER WAVING IN THE AIR WHEN HE DID THAT,

AND I HAVE TWO CARDS UP HERE FROM THE APPLICANTS. MORAVIAN META AND EMILY RESORT'S OWNER. IF YOU WANT TO COME UP AND SAY ANYTHING. YEAH. OKAY? AND NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. SURE GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF PNC. MY NAME'S ROBBIE META. MY ADDRESS IS 1 25 EAST JOHN CARPENTER FREEWAY IN IRVING, TEXAS, 75062. I'M EMILY ZELLNER. I'M WITH MANHART. CONSULTING MY ADDRESS IS 3040 OLD MILL RUN. GRAPEVINE TEXAS 76051. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO START OUT. UM WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING AN APARTMENT COMMUNITY. ON WEST MILLER ROAD. UM I WANT TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF AND WHAT WE DO AND KIND OF OUR GROUP BEFORE WE START. LONG TERM OWNERS WERE NOT THE TYPE OF GUYS THAT COME IN, DEVELOP SOMETHING . SELL IT TO THE NEXT GUY OUT OF STATE AND LET THINGS FALL APART. UM, WE CONCENTRATE ON ON MARKET RENT, AFFORDABLE MARKET RENT WORKFORCE HOUSING. AND WE'D LIKE TO FILL GOALS WHERE WHERE THERE'S A VOID IN HOUSING, SO UM . WE ARE ALSO SELF MANAGED. WE MAKE SURE WE TAKE CARE OF OUR PROPERTIES. MAKE SURE WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE PROPERTY. WHO'S STAYING THERE ALL THAT GOOD STUFF AND WE'D LIKE TO OFFER AMENITIES TO OUR RESIDENTS. NOW, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT SOME OF THE PROPERTIES THAT WE CURRENTLY OWN A MANAGER TO SHOW YOU KIND OF WHAT WE DO. WE'VE OWNED PROPERTIES SINCE 2011 2013 ALL OVER THE FW METROPLEX. WE HAVE LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATIONS FROM DIFFERENT DIFFERENT CITIES AS WELL. THOSE WERE IN GRAND PRAIRIE. THESE ARE IN THE CITY OF DALLAS THAT WE WORKED ON. LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM CITY, DALLAS AS WELL. CURRENT PROPERTY THAT WE OWN IN GRAND OR GARLAND AS WELL. UM ONE OF THE WORKFORCE HOUSING PROJECTS THAT WE RECENTLY DID. UM, WAS A 40 HOUSE SUBDIVISION WE BUILT OUT IN PECOS. UM THEY WERE VERY SATISFIED WITH THE COMMUNITY. WE TRY TO FILL A VOID THERE. THAT WAS VERY NECESSARY AS WELL. AND WE HAVE A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM THEM AS WELL. UM ANOTHER WORKFORCE HOUSING PROJECT IN LOVING AND COUPLE THAT WE'VE DONE IN OTHER STATES TO SEE IF YOU GUYS TIME.
AS FAR AS CITY OF GARLAND GOES RIGHT NOW THERE ARE SOME PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING DEVELOPED AROUND THE CITY. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S A BIG VOID IN THE CENTER ON WESTMINSTER ROAD FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR MULTI FAMILY UM , US HAVING THE OTHER TWO COMMUNITIES THERE KNOW THAT. THERE IS HIGH OCCUPANCY THERE. THERE'S A BIG NEED FOR WORK WORKFORCE HOUSING, THEREFORE, FOR A LOT OF RESIDENTS. AND SO WE WANT TO HELP BUILD THAT VOID.
HERE IS SOME OF THE STUFF THAT'S RECENTLY DELIVERED SOME COMMUNITIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY
[01:05:03]
UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND SOME THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED FOR THE AREA AS WELL. FOR ALL OF CITY OF GARLAND. UM. SO WITH OUR COMMUNITY WE'RE GOING TO DO IS BUILD A THREE STORY 63 UNIT COMMUNITY PROPERTY. UM, IT WOULD. WE FEEL LIKE WEST MILLER ROAD REALLY NEEDS NEW DEVELOPMENT TO ENTICE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH THAT COUNCILMAN LUKE HAS ALREADY BROUGHT INTO THE AREA. UM. AND OUR PROPERTY ALSO OFFERS A LOT OF POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS AS FAR AS AMENITIES GO WITH THE WITH THE SUN DECK, SPARKLING POOL BARBECUE GRILLS, A NICE EXERCISE FACILITY THAT OVERLOOKS THE POOL AND SUN DECK AREA AND IN HARBOR. UM AND AGAIN, THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE PROPERTIES THAT WE SELF MANAGED SELF TAKE CARE OF, YOU KNOW WHO LIVES THERE? WHAT'S GOING ON THERE, AND IT'S GOING TO BE UP KEPT. THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH. HERE'S A SITE PLAN FOR WHAT WE PLAN ON HAVING AT THE PROPERTY. WE HAVE AN INGRESS AND EGRESS. THERE IS CURRENTLY A CHURCH BUILDING THAT WE LEASE OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. UM IT'S BEING USED ONCE A WEEK. BUT AS YOU CAN TELL, THERE ARE SOME UM PEOPLE THAT GO THERE AND LOITER, WHICH WE WANT TO ELIMINATE AS WELL. UM WE DO HAVE TWO BUILDINGS THERE. WE HAVE A POLL INDEX SET UP THERE ALL THAT GOOD STUFF AND IT'S A TOTAL OF 63 UNITS, SO IT'S GOING TO BE 45 1 BEDROOMS AND 18 BEDROOMS. WE'VE DONE A COUPLE OF RENDERINGS FOR YOU GUYS. SO YOU KIND OF GET A VISUAL OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. THAT'S THE REVAMP OF THE EXISTING BUILDING. THAT'S ON SITE. AND THEN THE THREE STORY BUILDING IS THERE TO THE LEFT. THE POLL AND PARTICULAR AREA WITH THE EXERCISE FACILITY TOWARDS THE BACK OVERLOOKING AT AND. AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE FOR TODAY. ALREADY ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT. COMMISSIONER ROBIN THEN COMMISSIONER JENKINS. THANK YOU. MR MADIGAN TO SEE YOU AGAIN. LIKEWISE, SIR. UM YOU MAY RECALL MY BIG CONCERN WHEN I WAS ON COUNCIL A FEW YEARS AGO WAS THE TRAFFIC ON MILLER NOT NOT REALLY THE TRAFFIC ON MILLER ROAD. BUT THE FACT THAT MILLER ROAD BACKS UP FROM SATURN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO GLENBROOK THAT, UH, SO THAT MILLER ROAD WESTBOUND. IS TYPICALLY FULLY PACKED AND MILL ROAD EASTBOUND TYPICALLY HAS A LOT OF VEHICLES MEAN CAN'T REALLY SEE IT FROM YOUR DRAWINGS, BUT BUT THAT IT'S A DOWNHILL TYPE THING. DO YOU HAVE ANY PLAN FOR ADDRESSING THE INGRESS AND EGRESS ISSUES CONCERNS WE DO. WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING WITH THE TRAFFIC DIVISION OR TRANSLATION DIVISION HERE IN CITY OF GARLAND. WE ALSO GOT A TIA REPORT DONE AFTER OUR LAST MEETING. UM AND WE DID GET SOME SOME FINDING FINDINGS IN HERE TO WHERE UM, WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT A SLOWDOWN LANE FOR THE RIGHT ENTRANCE ONLY, AND WE'RE GONNA BE DOING A RIGHT TURN ONLY SEE IF THAT WORKS AS WELL TO KIND OF SLOW DOWN SOME OF THE TRAFFIC. SO THAT WAY IF PEOPLE AREN'T TURNING LEFT INTO THE COMPLEX THAT WILL HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC AS WELL. BUT OVERALL, THE REPORT SHOWED THAT IT WAS ONLY GOING TO ADD ABOUT 0.3. TO THE TRAFFIC COUNCIL. VERY MINIMAL, RIGHT? YEAH, I'M LESS CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC VOLUME AND MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT PEOPLE TURNING IN INTO AND MORE IN ACTUALLY, REALLY MORE OUT OF THE THAT THAT AREA WE HAVE A LOT OF. I MEAN, IT'S JUST THERE'S A LOT OF BACKUP AND THERE'S QUITE A FEW ACCIDENTS THERE IN SO THAT'S MY CONCERN. SO YOU'D HAVE A YOU HAVE A SLOWDOWN, SO EXPLAIN TO ME SAID THERE, YOU SAID A SLOWDOWN LANE, SO IT'D BE LIKE A TURNING LANE FOR FOLKS GOING EASTBOUND ON MILLER TO TURN INTO THE COMPLEX. CORRECT THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS ONE OF THINGS WE DISCUSSED WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DIVISION. UM THEY WANT TO LOOK AT IT TO SEE IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS NECESSARY OR NOT. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH ON AND WE'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM ON ON THAT, TOO. OKAY AND THEN ON EXITING WITH THAT YOU SAID THAT WOULD BE A RIGHT TURN IS THAT FOR FOLKS EXITING THE COMPLEX WILL BE RIGHT TURN ONLY ON MILLER WOULD CREATE A MEDIAN TO WHERE IT WOULD BE A RIGHT TURN ONLY SO THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE FOLKS TRYING TO TURN LEFT ONTO MILLER AS WELL. SO THERE'LL BE A MEETING SO THERE'D BE SOME KIND OF PHYSICAL BARRIER TO PREVENT PEOPLE FOR TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE I WOULD SAY TO TURN EASTBOUND ON THE MILLER. OKAY, WELL, ALRIGHT , I HAVE RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER JENKINS AND THEN COMMISSIONER DALTON. MR. CHAIRMAN GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR TIME. CAN YOU GOT A FEW QUESTIONS FIRST EXPLAIN WHAT WORKFORCE HOUSING IS. IT'S UH, THE FOLKS THAT WORK AT OUR OUR DRIVE THROUGHS AT WALMART. THINGS OF THAT NATURE PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE IN THE INDUSTRY. SO THERE'S A THERE'S A THERE'S A INCOME, I GUESS REQUIREMENT. NO WE'RE NOT[01:10:07]
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WHERE MARKET RENT HOUSING, NOT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SECTION EIGHT HOUSING RENT CONTROLLED UNITS, UM. OKAY SWITCHING THE PREVIOUS APPLICATION THAT WE HAD SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING LIGHTING HAVE ALL THOSE BEEN ADDRESSED. WE DID YET WE WILL LET YOU FROM LIGHTING LIGHTING. WE WENT IN FOR THAT UNTIL THE PLANS AS WELL, CORRECT ANY COMMENTS THAT HE HAD WE ADDRESS THOSE TO MEET THE CITY CODE. OKAY UM, DENSITY , I THINK DENSITY. THE LAST TIME THIS APPLICATION HAD COME BEFORE SOME OF THE BOTH THE COUNCIL AND THE COMMISSION WAS A I DON'T RECALL THAT ISSUE, AND THERE WAS A QUESTION. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE DECIDING FACTORS THAT WENT INTO YOUR CONSIDERATION REGARDING THE DENSITY? AND I ASKED THAT QUESTION BECAUSE, AS WE LOOK AT THE AREA, THIS WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLY DENSE PROJECT IN COMPARISON TO THE APARTMENT ACROSS THE STREET, WHICH ARE, YOU KNOW NOT DISTANCE AND THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE IN THE ADJOINING AREA. THIS WOULD BE THE MOST DENSE HOUSING PROJECT IN A TWO MILE RADIUS.CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE REQUESTING SOMETHING THAT IS LIKE THIS? WELL, THERE'S DEFINITELY A NEED OUT THERE FOR IT. AND THAT'S THE REASON ONE OF THE REASONS WE DID IT, AND IT'S ALSO BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF ONE BEDROOM AND EFFICIENCY UNITS COMPARED TO TWO BEDROOMS. SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S DENSE, THERE AREN'T AS MANY, UM MANY VEHICLES ON THE LIGHT OR AS MANY, MANY FOLKS STAYING ON BOARD AND IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE DO HAVE 63 UNITS. BUT IT'S A LOT OF ONE BEDROOM, SO IT FEELS THE NEED THAT'S NECESSARY OUT THERE FOR THE FOLKS THAT ARE WORKING. I PRESUME THAT YOU'VE DONE EXTENSIVE MARKET ANALYSIS. UM WHAT I GUESS AND I WANT TO BE CERTAIN I GO ON THE RECORD CAN FEEL SOME DAGGERS FOR ME. I BELIEVE THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS IT'S DEFINED BY FEDERAL LAW IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
ESPECIALLY FOR THIS PARTICULAR AREA, AND I'M DISHEARTENED THAT WORKFORCE HOUSING DOESN'T INCLUDE MORE TWO BEDROOM APARTMENTS BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE PEOPLE THAT START FAMILIES IN WITH THAT KIND OF BACKGROUND. I JUST LIKE, I GUESS CLARIFICATION ABOUT HOW WE COME TO THE DEFINITION OF THOSE TERMS. WHAT'S THE PRODUCT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PUT OUT THERE AND WHO WERE REALLY TRYING TO ENTICE, UH, TO LIVE HERE WHO ARE CONSIDERING TO LIVE HERE? SO BUT YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS, AND I GOT SOME HESITATIONS REGARDING THE PROJECT. BUT I THINK THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING MY QUESTIONS. YES, SIR. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER DALTON.
COMMISSIONER JENKINS DID CATCH PICK UP ON A COUPLE OF MY ITEMS. UM THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY BROUGHT UP THE CHURCH. THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE BUILDING THE AMENITY CENTER. DID. THIS ALSO ENCOMPASS WHERE THERE WAS A SONIC DRIVE IN? I BELIEVE IT ONE TIME IS THERE OTHER WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE PROPERTY OTHER THAN THE CHURCH? WHAT ELSE WAS INCLUDED IN THAT? AND WHAT WAS THERE ANOTHER WORDS, UNFORTUNATELY, NOT ACTUALLY CALLED THOSE OWNERS AND TRY TO BUY THOSE PROPERTIES AS WELL. UM THERE'S A CAR WASH NEXT TO US AND SONIC OR PREVIOUSLY SONIC NEXT TO THEM. UM I'D LOVE TO TAKE OVER THE WHOLE BLOCK BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IMPROVES THE ENTIRE AREA. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DID NOT WANT TO SELL. ONLY THE CHURCH CHURCH OWNER DID. SO IT JUST INCLUDES THE RAW RAW LAND AND THE CHURCH BUILDING ITSELF. OKAY, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT. OKAY WHEN THIS GOES TO COUNSEL, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU TELL THEM MORE ABOUT THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDYING HOW YOU MANAGED TO MEAN CONTROL THE TRAFFIC ON IT, AND IT WOULD BE A DEDICATED TURN OUT . ONLY THAT CAN BE DONE TO CURVATURE, THE EXIT DRIVE AND EVERYTHING, TOO. SO OKAY? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING DOWN. LET'S SEE IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS OUT THERE. I HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKER CARDS. IN THIS CASE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE CARE TO SPEAK ON HIS CASE? SEEING NONE. MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. UH I THINK COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER ROBIN JUST MADE THAT IN MY EAR. IT WAS AN OFFICIAL MOTION. OKAY I WASN'T SPEAKING LOUDER, OKAY? ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING BY COMMISSIONER ROBIN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS. THIS IS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE VOTING YET. WE'LL FIND OUT IN A FEW SECONDS. AND WHILE WE'RE WAITING, I'D LIKE TO THANK DAN IN THE BACK FOR GETTING US BOOTED UP AND GOING AGAIN. GOOD JOB, DAN. WELL, LET'S DO A SHOW OF HANDS. THE MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS APPROVED
[01:15:01]
UNANIMOUSLY. WE EARNED DISCUSSION MODE COMMISSIONER AND I WOULD GUESS. LET ME GET YOU GOING THERE. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. UM COMMISSIONERS . I DEFINITELY WANT TO HEAR YOUR INPUT ON THIS. UM YOU KNOW, THIS IS A THIS IS A PROJECT THAT CAME IN SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM TO US A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THE PAST THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I THINK UNANIMOUSLY, ACTUALLY, UM, BUT THE CONCERN WHEN IT GOT TO COUNCIL WAS ESPECIALLY AGREE THE TRAFFIC ON MILLER ROAD, WHICH I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS HAD HOPED WOULD BE ALLEVIATED BY THE, UH, THE WORK AT THE INTERSECTION AT GARLAND AND MILLER TEXTILE AND ADDED. SOME TURN LANES AND A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS, AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ALLEVIATED THAT. UM, UNFORTUNATELY. UM MY BIG CONCERN , THEN, UH, IN GOING FORWARD IS NOT SO MUCH THE TRAFFIC PER SE MILLER HAS CAPACITY TO HANDLE THIS VOLUME OF CARS. NO PROBLEM AT ALL. AH BUT IT'S RIGHT AT THOSE BETWEEN THOSE TWO INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN UH, MILLER BETWEEN SATURN AND GLENBROOK, WHERE EASTBOUND ON GLENBROOK. WE HAVE A LOT OF A LOT OF ACCIDENTS THERE AND THEN WEST, BREADED SATIN AND SATURDAY. EMILY MILLER IS PROBABLY WORSE INTERSECTION IN THE CITY. UM AND SO MILLER BACKS UP TERRIBLY. AND SO THOSE ARE THOSE HAVE BEEN MY PRIMARY CONCERNS. I MY INCLINATION IS TO SAY THAT THAT UH, BECAUSE I'M MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE IS EGRESS FROM THE FACILITY. PEOPLE TRYING TO TURN LEFT ONTO MILLER WHEN MILLER IS COMPLETELY BACKED UP AND THEN BLOCKING MILLER EASTBOUND VEHICLES COMING DOWN, EASTBOUND DOWN DOWN, MILLER. UM BUT I THINK I FEEL LIKE THAT'S I FEEL LIKE THAT'S ALLEVIATED SIGNIFICANTLY BY CREATING A PHYSICAL BARRIER TO FOLKS. I MEAN, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE ALWAYS GONNA BE FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO JUMP CURBS AND TURN LEFT AND DO OTHER THINGS FOR THE LAW ABIDING AMONG US, UM , LIKE, I THINK A PHYSICAL BARRIER THAT ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO TURN RIGHT FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY IS PROBABLY SUFFICIENT.UM. AS TO THE AS TO THE DENSITY. I THINK THE REALITY IS THAT THE TREND IN PARTICULARLY, YOU KNOW, AS WE SEE PROPERTY VALUES, INCREASE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. AND AS THE CITY ITSELF GETS BUILT OUT, WE HAVE TO SEE HIGHER DENSITY. I WOULD RATHER SEE. 30 UNITS IN ACRE AS A AS A MINIMUM.
AS OPPOSED TO A MAXIMUM. UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A MAXIMUM HERE WE HAVE OTHER WE HAVE OTHER ZONING DENSITIES FOR MULTI FAMILY, BUT YOU KNOW YOU, YOU LOOK AT A LOT OF LOT OF PLACES IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE DENSITIES ABOVE 70 UNITS AN ACRE. IN HIGHER. AND SO , UH, SO MY INCLINATION THERE IS TO SAY THAT A HIGHER DENSITY IS FINE, I THINK IS A CITY. WE NEED TO START MOVING TOWARDS HIGHER DENSITY. WE'VE BEEN MOVING TOWARDS HIGHER DENSITY, EVEN ON OUR PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN NOMINALLY LOWER DENSITY. AH IT'S OFTEN LOWER DENSITY JUST BECAUSE OF THE. YOU KNOW, UH, YOU HAVE A PIECE OF LAND WHERE A LOT OF IT CAN'T BE DEVELOPED BECAUSE OF FLOODPLAIN OR OTHER STUFF, BUT WE INCLUDE THAT, IN THEIR THE REAL DENSITY IS PROBABLY CLOSER TO 30 UNITS AN ACRE, EVEN THOUGH WE CALL IT 19 BECAUSE THE BUNCHES IS FLOODPLAIN OR NON BUILDABLE LAND. SO FOR THOSE REASONS, I'M INCLINED TO SUPPORT IT, BUT I DEFINITELY WANT TO HEAR Y'ALL'S INPUT AND THOUGHTS ON THIS AND APPRECIATE YOUR WISE COUNSEL. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER RUSE. THIS GUEST QUESTION FOR OUR ATTORNEY. CAN WE, UH. MAKE A PART OF THE MOTION WHERE THEY HAVE TO PUT IN. RIGHT TURN LANE.
OR AN THE OTHER SITUATION WHERE THEY'RE COMING IN AND ENTRANCE. CAN WE? CAN WE MAKE THAT PART OF THE MOTION, SO THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE IT NOW THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT IT. THEY DIDN'T SAY THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT. CAN WE MAKE THE MOTION TO TWO. REQUIRE THAT. MON. YES I THINK YOU CAN DO A CONDITION APPROVAL WITH CONDITION. UM. ARE YOU CAN DO AS WE'VE ALREADY DONE. RECOMMEND THAT IT GETS BROUGHT UP FOR COUNCIL AND LET THE DEVELOPER WORK ON IT BETWEEN NOW AND THEN UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS MEETING IS TAKING PLACE AND YOU'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED HOW THAT'S THE BIGGEST CONCERNS WILL YEAH, THANK YOU. BUT WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST MAYBE A LITTLE HIGHER LEVEL IS THAT THE DEVELOPER, THE APPLICANT AND HIS TEAM CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT. I KNOW THEY WERE. THEY'VE BEEN HAVING SOME ONGOING DISCUSSIONS. JUST ABOUT YOU KNOW, UM SOME OF THE CONCERNS AND WHATNOT AND MR LOOKY AND I SPOKE EARLIER, SO PERHAPS THERE'S SOMETHING THAT THAT THE APPLICANT AND MR LUCCHESE TEAM CAN LOOK AT AS FAR AS LEFT TURNS OR PREVENTING THEM SOMEHOW THROUGH PHYSICAL BARRIERS OR SIGNAGE OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

SO PERHAPS THEY CAN DISCUSS MORE BETWEEN NOW AND THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY HAVE TO DO IT. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER DALTON. THANK YOU, MR. I'M ONE OF THE ONES THAT'S BEEN IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AT THE CORNER OF GLENBROOK AND MILLER ROAD, WHERE A VEHICLE I WAS IN WAS TOTALED. AND SO I UNDERSTAND THE THINKING THERE. THIS HAS BEEN KIND OF A DEAD PIECE OF PROPERTY. FOR A LONG TIME. AND I THINK IT'S KIND OF AN EYESORE THROUGH THERE. AND I THINK BASED UPON THE DETAILED PLAN THAT WE WERE SHOWN IT WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY TO SEE THIS PROPERTY. GO IN. AND, UH, MIGHT HELP IMPROVE SOME OF THE THINGS IN THE GENERAL VICINITY, SO I'M I'M WITH COMMISSIONER ALL BUT I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER CORNELIUS AND COMMISSIONER JENKINS. I TOO AM IN FAVOR, BUT I DO LIKE THE CONDITION. I LIKE APPROVAL WITH THE CONDITION THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME. SO I LIKE THAT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER JENKINS THEN COMMISSIONER ROBIN, I'M SORRY POINT OF ORDER WITH THE CONDITION CAN CAN WE CAN WE RESTATE THAT CONDITION? MACHINES WE DON'T HAVE A MOTION YET, AND I THINK THERE'S A BRAIN HERE WORKING THROUGH THAT. AS WE'RE HMM. NO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THE CONDITION THAT THAT WAS. I THINK THE CONDITION WOULD BE CENTERED AROUND CONTROLLING THE TRAFFIC INGRESS AND EGRESS NG THE SITE. UH AND I'M GOING TO KIND OF PUT MY TWO CENTS IN AS I SAY THIS. AND I THINK SOMETHING FOR THE DEVELOPERS OWN SAKE IS HE NEEDS TO CONSIDER SAFETY. THE WAY I LOOK AT THE ENTRANCE. I'M LOOKING AT THE PLANE NOW THE ENTRANCE UP BY THE CHURCH. HAVE THAT WIDENED OUT WITH THE MEDIAN IN IT FOR INGRESS. AND THEN THE EGRESS RIGHT TURN ONLY WHICH YOU'VE SEEN DONE IN SOME EXITS WERE THERE'S A CURVE AND IN THE PAVEMENT, AND IT SENDS YOU DOWN THAT WAY. AND THEN THE UH, OTHER DRIVEWAY FURTHER DOWN MILLER ROAD. I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE AN ENTRY DRIVE ONLY. BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY A CURVED GOING OUT OF THERE. AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEBODY TRYING TO TURN EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT AND SWING WIDE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BUT LET'S LET TRAFFIC LOOK AT THOSE KINDS OF ISSUES AND WORK IT OUT WITH THEM. COMMISSIONER ROBIN OR DID DID THAT? ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SIR. OKAY, LET ME GET YOU BACK LIVE, OKAY? YOUR LIFE. THANK YOU. MR CHAIRMAN, I I'VE GOT ABOUT SEVEN POINTS HERE, SO I'M GOING TO GO QUICKLY THROUGH THEM TO START WITH THE LAST ONE BECAUSE WE JUST TOUCHED UPON THE LIGHTING AND SAFETY. FIVE PRIVATE CALL. THE INITIAL CONSIDERATION REGARDING LIGHTING WAS ABOUT SAFETY BECAUSE THAT AREA. IS A UNIQUE AREA AND WE WANTED TO BE CERTAIN THAT THE RESIDENTS OF THE PROPERTY AT THE TIME WOULD, YOU KNOW NOT HAVE ANY SAFETY CONCERNS THAT, UH, CERTAIN THOROUGH WALK. WALKABLE PATHS HAD ADEQUATE LIGHTING THAT THE PARKING LOT HAD LEADING THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. WE'RE TALKING AS WELL ABOUT SOME OF THE INGRESS AND EGRESS TO THE PROPERTY. YOU KNOW WITH, UH ACCEPTED PRINCIPLES IN MIND, AND THAT'S CRIME PREVENTION TO ECONOMIC DESIGN. WE DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I'M HEARING. UM AND I STRONGLY SUPPORT. UM ANY REVISION TO RECOMMENDATION THAT INCLUDES A MANAGEABLE MEANS BY WHICH TRAFFIC CAN GO FROM ONE POINT A TO POINT B. AND THAT YOU KNOW, PROVIDES EASY. AH. AND SUSTAINABLE IMPACTED THE COMMUNITY SO THAT NO OTHER ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN. YOU KNOW, IN THAT AREA GENERALLY, UM. HE'S WORKING FOR. TRY IT AGAIN. THANK YOU. UM, I'M I'M NOT AGAINST THIS DEVELOPMENT. AND I KNOW THAT THE AREA NEEDS THE DEVELOPMENT NEEDS. REDEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO BE ENCOURAGED TO DEVELOPMENT. AH I REALLY EMBRACE THE DEVELOPERS IDEA TO PROVIDE WORKFORCE HOUSING AS THEY DEFINE IT. MY HESITATION WHEN I WAS ASKING DEVELOPER THAT CENTERED AROUND AN IDEA THAT FAMILIES IN GARLAND AREN'T GETTING THE SAME ATTENTION AS SINGLE PERSONS THAT ARE ABLE TO MEET A SPECIFIC MARKET NEED, AND I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE HOUSING THAT INCLUDES FAMILIES AND ITS DESIGN, AND THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THAT WAS AND AS WELL AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS WERE LIKELY GOING TO NEED TO ADDRESS THAT AT SOME PARTICULAR POINT. THAT WAS 0.3[01:25:02]
DENSITY. UM. THE. THE COMMUNITY HAS A VERY UNIQUE FEEL TO IT ALREADY. THE COMMUNITY AS WE GO BACK DOWN MILLER AWAY FROM THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE, THERE IS SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, VERY SMALL, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE WAS A CHURCH THAT WAS ADJACENT TO THE SKATE PARK THAT RECENTLY CAME TO THIS COMMISSION SEEKING APPROVAL OF MULTI FAMILY AND THE BOARD. UH TURNED DOWN THAT PARTICULAR APPLICANTS REQUEST IN FAVOR OF A LOWER DENSE PROJECT. UH SO WHEN WE'RE SPEAKING OF DENSITY IN THAT REGARD, I'M THINKING OF THE SKATEPARK. I'M THINKING OF THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITY AGAIN . I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE IDEA OF DEVELOPMENT. THE AREA. I THINK IT NEEDS IT. I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. IT'S THE IT'S THE PARTICULAR DENSITY FOR THIS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND COMMISSIONER ROBIN'S POINT. WELL TAKEN THAT THE CITY BECAUSE OF ECONOMIC CONDITIONS HAS SEEN TO AN INCREASE IN AN APP, YOU KNOW APPLICANTS SEEKING INCREDIBLY DENSE UNITS. UM GIVE IT 10 YEARS . GIVE IT 20 YEARS. WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT OR HOW WE LOOK AT HOUSING AND THAT PARTICULAR TIME IF WE ARE IN THIS BOARD TALKING ABOUT BUILD OUT AND HOW CLOSE THE CITY IS TO BUILD OUT, THEN WE SHOULDN'T EMBRACE EVERY IDEA THAT ENCOURAGES US TO PACK SARDINES INTO A CAN NOT TO SAY PEOPLE OR SARDINES. AGAIN. I'M NOT. I AM GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION. BUT I DO WISH THAT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD . CONSIDER SOME OTHER MARKET CONDITIONS, MARKET CONDITIONS BEING THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN THESE PARTICULAR UNITS, AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF. SO YOU'RE BACK MY TIME. I WOULD STRIKE THAT COMMENT. I WOULD ADVISE THE COMMITTEE NOT CONSIDER THE PEOPLE OR THE ECONOMICS AS PART OF THE LAND JUICE THAT WE'RE THAT'S BEFORE US TONIGHT. BIRD.AH! ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY YEAH, I'LL JUST ADD ONE LAST THING LIKE THE PREVIOUS CASE TWO YEARS AGO, I VOTED FOR THIS, AND I THINK LAND USE IS STILL APPROPRIATE THERE. SO AND COMMISSIONER AND THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HAVE POPPED IN MY HEAD AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS AND UM , KIND OF THE HISTORY OF THIS PROPERTY. THIS IS THE SITE OF THE FORMER MILLER GARDENS. APARTMENT COMPLEX. UM WHICH WAS TAKEN OVER BY THE CITY. AT THE TIME WHEN THE CITY WAS IN THE BUSINESS OF UM, TAKING OVER RUN DOWN APARTMENT COMPLEXES LIKE THIS. AND EASTGATE AND WALNUT VILLA. UM. AND THEN EVENTUALLY MADE ITS WAY TO GARMIN HOUSING FINANCE CORP AND THEN EVENTUALLY, I THINK FROM THERE MADE ITS WAY TO MR META, UM AND SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THIS PROPERTY IS. IT'S BEEN VACANT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. BUT YOU KNOW, BUT THERE ARE SOME DIFFICULTIES ASSOCIATED WITH IT. UM YOU KNOW BASED BASED ON OUR DISCUSSION. I, YOU KNOW. TO ME, 30 UNITS AN ACRE IS NOT PARTICULARLY DENSE 18 IN AND IT'S JUST THAT THE NATURE OF NOTHING WILL EVER GET DEVELOPED IN THIS CITY. REALLY AT 18. IT WOULD NOT MAKE ECONOMIC SENSE. I MEAN, THIS WAS A DISCUSSION THAT WE'VE HAD BEFORE AT THE ECONOMICS OF IT. UM, WITH WITH JUST THE VALUES OF LAND AND EVERYTHING ELSE DO NOT MAKE SENSE TO BUILD THAT AT LOWER DENSITIES. UM AND JUST THE YOU KNOW, BUT BEYOND BUT BEYOND THAT, I DO NOT IT, YOU KNOW? NOTHING IN MY SUPPORT OF IT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION WHO'S GOING TO LIVE HERE? WE CANNOT CONSIDER THAT WE ZONE ONLY LAND AND NOT NOT PEOPLE, NOT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE, NOT THEIR INCOME. I MEAN, I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR YOUR STATEMENTS REGARDING WORKFORCE AND OTHER STUFF, BUT THAT IS NOT AT ALL A CONSIDERATION OF MINE. IT'S PURELY WHAT'S THE PROPER LAND USE HERE. UM YOU KNOW NOT TO SAY THAT WE DON'T ALL SUPPORT THE CITY OF GROWING PROBABLY SUPPORTS AFFORDABLE HOUSING MORE THAN ANY OTHER CITY. IN THE METROPLEX THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE VARIOUS HOUSING CREDITS THAT ARE OFFERED BY THE STATE AND THE PROJECTS. THE CITY OF GARLAND. I THINK THAT WHEN I WAS ON COUNCIL HAD APPROVED HAD MORE OF THOSE APPROVED PRODUCT PROJECTS. UH IN THE CITY THAN IN THE REST OF THE METROPLEX COMBINED, INCLUDING DALLAS, SO UM, BUT BUT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S BEFORE. THIS IS JUST PURELY WITH THE LAND USES. UM AND I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE AS LONG AS WE'VE AS IN AGAIN IT COMES BACK. MY CONCERN IS MILLER ROAD IN THE SAFETY ISSUES THERE AND SO WITH THAT I WILL MOVE APPROVAL OF BOTH. ON THE CONDITION IN A AND HOWEVER, THEY NEED TO WRITE IT UP. BUT ON THE ON THE CONDITION
[01:30:09]
THAT YOU WORK WITH THE TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT ON INGRESS AND EGRESS ISSUES IN THAT IT INCLUDES A PHYSICAL BARRIER. TO ON ON EGRESS. I'M GOING TO MAKE A MESS OF EMOTION ON ON IN GRASS.WHATEVER THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT DECIDES, AND YOU GUYS WORK OUT IS FINE FOR SAFETY, BUT ON EGRESS IN PARTICULAR THAT THERE NEEDS THAT THERE BE A PHYSICAL BARRIER TO TURNING. WESTBOUND ONTO WESTBOUND MILLER. WHATEVER THAT AND WHATEVER BARRIER BUT AS LONG AS A PHYSICAL BARRIER, NOT JUST TO SIGN. THIS IS A PHYSICAL BARRIER. WHATEVER YOU ALL APPROVED, THAT'S MY MOTION. IT'S TERRIBLE MOTION. OKAY, HEARD EMOTION FROM COMMISSIONER ROBIN IN A SECOND FRUIT COMMISSIONER, CORNELIUS AND LET ME SEE IF I CAN SUMMARIZE THE MOTION. THE MOTION. THE MOTION IS TERRIBLE.
THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR THE P D. AND THE DETAILED PLAN. WITH THE PROVISION THAT. INGRESS AND EGRESS BE STUDIED AND THAT THE PROVISION THAT, UM EGRESS TURNING WEST NOT BE ALLOWED. PHYSICAL BARRIER PHYSICAL BARRIER. THAT'S THE MOTION.
