[7.b. Consider a request by David Gibbons to construct twenty (20) senior assisted living units. The site is located at 1922 Castle Drive in District 2. ]

ITEM SEVEN. B CONSIDER A REQUEST BY DAVID GIBBONS TO CONSTRUCT 20 SENIOR ASSISTED LIVING UNITS.

THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 1922 CASTLE DRIVE IN DISTRICT TWO. HEY, THANK YOU, MAYOR. AS YOU STATED, THIS IS A PROPOSAL TO CONSTRUCT A SENIOR ASSISTED LIVING COMPLEX WITH 20 DWELLING UNITS LOCATION IS, UH, 1922 CASTLE DRIVE, AND THE APPLICANT IS DAVID GIBBONS WITH THE GARLAND HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION. THE ACREAGE OF THE SITE IS ABOUT 2.3 ACRES IN SIZE, AND IT IS ZONED UH, WITHIN PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 17-25 THAT PD WAS CONTEMPLATED AT THE TIME OF PRESERVING THE PREVIOUS BUILDING THAT WAS ON THE SITE AND UM AND HAVING A SIMILAR USE ASSISTED SENIOR LIVING IN THAT BUILDING, BUT, UM, THAT PROPOSAL AS PRESENTED AND APPROVED AT THAT TIME DID NOT PROCEED. AND AS YOU KNOW, THE BUILDING HAS SINCE BEEN DEMOLISHED, SO THIS WOULD BE A PROPOSAL FOR A NEW CONSTRUCTION ON THE SITE. BUT A SIMILAR USE.

UM HERE'S A CITYWIDE LOCATION MAP OF THE PROPERTY. AND MORE SPECIFICALLY SHOWN HERE. UH, THAT IT DOES FRONT CASTLE DRIVE AND JUST SOME TO SHOW SOME OF THE SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING. IT UH, IS, UM THERE IS, OF COURSE, SF SEVEN SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE NORTH ACROSS SOUTH, UH, ACROSS CASTLE DRIVE, UH, AND SOME SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS FURTHER SOUTH, UM, OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, OF COURSE, IMMEDIATELY SOUTH THIS AREA.

THERE'S A LITTLE CREEK THERE. IT'S PRETTY HEAVILY WOODEN, SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMES BACK A LITTLE FURTHER ON THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY UH, IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST IS, UM, ACTUALLY ANOTHER SENIOR LIVING UH, APARTMENT COMPLEX, AND THEN, UH, A LITTLE BIT FURTHER EAST. THERE'S A SIMILAR ACTUALLY, THERE'S SOME TOWNHOUSES. AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER, UM, ANOTHER MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT AS I UNDERSTAND. BUT AGAIN AS YOU CAN SEE FOR THIS AERIAL, UH, THE PREVIOUS BUILDING THAT WAS THERE IS NO LONGER NO LONGER THERE SO THE SITE IS CURRENTLY VACANT. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS, UH, TRACT AS COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS. AND OPPOSING NET DENSITY FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL IS 8.4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH IS WITHIN THAT RANGE THAT THE COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS DESIGNATION RECOMMENDS BETWEEN SIX AND 12 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE SO COMPLIES WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FROM THAT REGARD AND IN ADDITION, EXPANDS OPTIONS FOR SENIOR HOUSING. AND PER THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN ADDITIONAL DENSITY ALTHOUGH IT IS ONLY 20 UNITS, UM, BUT ADDITIONAL DENSITY, UH, HELPS INCREASE. UM UM SALES TAX IN THE AREA AND SUPPORTS EXISTING BUSINESSES AS WELL AND, OF COURSE, AS STATED THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HOUSING TO THE AREA FOR SENIORS.

HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY THERE ON THE LEFT HAND PHOTO.

AGAIN, IT IS VACANT AND JUST SOME ADDITIONAL PHOTOS, UM ALONG CASTLE DRIVE. AND HERE'S THE SITE PLAN. UM SO IT DOES INCLUDE FOUR BUILDINGS WITH FIVE UNITS, EACH WITH AGAIN. A TOTAL OF 20 DWELLING UNITS. UM THERE ARE TWO ACCESS POINTS OFF CASTLE DRIVE. UM I'LL JUMP TO THE NEXT UM ACTUALLY, I'LL I'LL READ FROM GHF. C'S UH, NARRATIVE. THE PER THE APPLICANT. THE MISSION IS TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS. THESE PLANNED 20 RESIDENTS WILL PROVIDE NEW, SAFE SANITARY AND SUSTAINABLE HOUSING TO SENIOR OR EXCUSE ME TO GARLAND SENIORS. AND I'LL JUMP TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN HERE ON THE SITE IS LANDSCAPED, AND, UH, THEY'VE SHOWN SOMENTERIOR KIND OF COURTYARD AREAS FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS, UM, SHOWN HERE AND HERE, SO THERE IS SOME OUTDOOR AMENITIES IN ADDITION TO THE PRIVATE LIVING ROOM SPACE THAT EACH RESIDENT WILL HAVE THERE'S SOME SHARED, UM KIND OF GREEN AND PLEASANT SPACES WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT KIND OF PROVIDES A NEAT LITTLE KIND OF PRIVATE, SMALL SCALE PLACE MAKING OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE RESIDENTS AND INCLUDED SOME PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THAT WERE PROVIDED FROM THE TO SHOW AN

[00:35:04]

EXAMPLE. IT'S KIND OF A PLANTER, LONG LINEAR PLANTER WITH SOME SEEDING AND, UM AGAIN. JUST SOME OPEN SPACE, UH, OPEN SPACES AROUND IT. AND HERE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS. I'LL RUN THROUGH THESE, UH, VERY MUCH A RESIDENTIAL STYLE OF KIND OF A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL STYLE OF DEVELOPMENT. UM VERY MUCH. IN CONTRAST TO THE PREVIOUS BUILDING. THAT WAS THERE THAT HAD MUCH MORE OF A, UM INSTITUTIONAL REALLY NON-RESIDENTIAL LOOK TO IT. SO UH, THE APPLICANT AND WORKING WITH STAFF, REALLY, UM, CRAFTED THIS PD LANGUAGE TO BE MORE CONDUCIVE TO RESIDENTIAL. UM, SO THE PD DOES INCLUDE, UH AGAIN THERE WAS A PREVIOUS PD ALREADY FOR THE SIMILAR USE, SO IT'S SUBMITTED A FEW THINGS, UM, INCLUDING SCREENING JUST THAT THERE WOULD STILL BE THE FENCING AS APPROVED ON THE PERIMETER, BUT JUST NO SHRUBS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIMETER, WHICH DUE TO THE SITE CONFIGURATION, SOME DRAINAGE MENTS, AND IT BACKS UP TO A WOODEN CREEK AREA AS WELL. THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES WITH THAT, UM, AMENITIES. UH, JUST YOU KNOW, THIS IS A VERY SMALL SCALE OR SINGLE FAMILY STYLE, UM OF DEVELOPMENT, SO IT DOESN'T HAVE THE, UM ROBUST INDOOR AMENITIES THAT A LARGER SCALE THAT RESEMBLES MORE OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD, UM, BUT AGAIN, AND THIS IS FOR THE APPLICANT.

EACH DWELLING WILL HAVE A PORCH, WHICH WILL OVERLOOK AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO A PLANTED INTERIOR GARDEN ENVIRONMENT. THIS COMMON AREA IS MEANT TO CREATE OPPORTUNITY FOR CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL STRUCTURE, ALLOWING FOR RESIDENTS, UH, RESIDENCE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SIT AND GATHER WITH NATURAL LIGHT AND AIR. IT IS MEANT TO ENCOURAGE CONNECTION TO THE INTERNAL GARDEN AREA. THE SPACE IS THEN INTERLOCKED TO ENCOURAGE CONNECTIONS TO OTHER STRUCTURES, THUS DEVELOPING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 2900 SQUARE FEET OF TOTAL COVERED COMMON AREAS PROVIDED BY THESE PORCHES AND THEN FINALLY, THE BUILDING DESIGN AND WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT AND, UM AND SHOULD SAY AS A SIDE NOTE, THERE WAS A AMOUNT OF PUBLIC INPUT, INCLUDING, UM UH GIST STUDENTS THAT PLAYED A ROLE IN THIS THE PUBLIC WORKSHOPS AND THEY HAD A DEFINITELY HAD HAD A HAND IN THE ARCHITECTURE. SO THIS IS ■A REALLY NEAT, NEAT PROCESS FROM BEGINNING UP UNTIL THIS POINT, UM, BUT AS FAR AS BUILDING DESIGN, TAILORING THE DESIGN STANDARDS TO MORE OF A SINGLE FAMILY ARCHITECTURAL STYLE VERSUS THE USING, UM MORE MULTIFAMILY AND NON RESIDENTS STANDARDS. SO IN SUMMARY. THE PROPOSAL REPRESENTS A REDEVELOPMENT OF A PRE PREVIOUS NURSING HOME SITE TO A SENIOR LIVING FACILITY WITH A RESIDENTIAL STYLE APPROPRIATE TO THE AREA. THE PROPOSAL ALIGNS WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN. AND WITH THAT MAYOR STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL WITH A 6 TO 0 VOTE. AND WE MAILED OUT 126 NOTIFICATION LETTERS ON THIS CASE, AND ALL THE RESPONSES WERE IN FAVOR. THERE WERE FIVE IN FAVOR ALL WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA.

VERY GOOD. UH, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? I SEE. NO, THANK YOU. SECRETARY OF YOU CALL OUR FIRST SPEAKER, PLEASE. YES, SIR. I HAD THE APPLICANT DAVID GIBBS. THE HONORABLE DAVID GIBBONS. GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. EVEN WHEN WE. MR MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I AM DAVID GIBBONS, REPRESENTING THE GARLAND HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION. 1675 WEST CAMPBELL ROAD. GARLAND, TEXAS 75044. UH, MY JOURNEY ON THIS PROPERTY BEGAN BACK IN 2016. SO THIS IS GOING ON, UH, EIGHT YEARS NOW, IN FACT, UH, IN MAY OF 2016. WHEN I WAS FIRST ELECTED TO COUNCIL, MY PHONE BEGAN TO RING BECAUSE OF A NASTY UH, DILAPIDATED, UH, RUNDOWN, UH, NURSING HOME. UM AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS. THERE WAS A LOT OF VANDALISM. UH THE NEIGHBORS ARE VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS BEING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UH, I DON'T KNOW WHO THE VERSACE DISCIPLE WAS THAT, UH, CAME TO LIVE THERE FOR A WHILE, BUT, UH, WE FOUND THE PLACE QUITE IN DISARRAY. ALL OF THE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN CANNIBALIZED. THERE WAS NO COPPER. THERE WAS NO PLUMBING. THERE WERE NO AIR CONDITIONING. EVERYTHING HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT OF OUT OF THE ITS. AND SO, UM I HAD WORKED. WHEN I WAS ON COUNCIL. I WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH MONA WOODARD AND JASON WILH WITH COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND TRYING TO GET THE CITY TO ACQUIRE THIS PROPERTY, AND, UH, WE WORK FOR, UH, FIVE PLUS YEARS AND SIMPLY COULDN'T DO IT. THE OWNER HAD UNREALISTIC IDEAS ABOUT WHAT THE PRICE OF THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE. AND SO AFTER I JOINED GHF C IN 2020 IMMEDIATELY WENT TO WORK AND TRYING TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY AND WE WERE ABLE TO

[00:40:05]

ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY IN EARLY 2021. AT THAT TIME WE CAME TO THE CITY AND THE CITY. UH UH.

GAVE US AC DB G GRANT TO DO THE, UH, ASBESTOS ABATEMENT AND THE DEMOLITION OF THE PROPERTY AND THERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE DAY THE DEMOLITION STARTED. UH, THIS IS AT THE POINT WAS IN A DISTRICT ONE COUNCIL MEMBER BASS WAS THERE TO AND TO ENJOY SEEING THIS MONSTROSITY FINALLY COMING DOWN, AND SO, UM WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME SINCE SINCE THIS TIME BACK IN IN 2021 OF MOVING FORWARD. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS TO HAVE THIS AS A COMMUNITY WIDE PROJECT. AND AS MR GARIN NOTED, IS, UH WE DID GO TO THE, UH ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN STUDENTS AT GILBERT REED.

UH, CAREER, UH, TECHNOLOGY CENTER, THE GRCTC AND, UM KURT ORT, WHO IS ARCHITECT FOR OUR PROJECT IS THE UH, ARCHITECT. UH, INSTRUCTOR THERE, AND SO WE WENT TO THE THOSE AND SAID, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING AIRY FAIRY. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU'RE DREAMING OF. THIS IS A PIECE OF DIRT WE OWN, AND WE WANT YOU TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS IS THE BEST USE OF THIS PROPERTY. AND SO THE KIDDOS SPENT AN ENTIRE SEMESTER WORKING ON THIS. THEY FIRST CAME BACK WITH 14 PLANS FOR THE FOR THE PROPERTY. WE MET WITH THEM AND WE SAID WE LIKE THIS. WE DON'T LIKE THAT. WE LIKE THIS.

WE DON'T LIKE THIS. AND SO THEY CAME BACK AND THEY CAME WITH TWO FINAL. UH, PROPOSALS AND SO IN JUNE OF 2022 YOU SAY THAT COUNCIL MEMBER BASS WAS THERE IN ATTENDANCE, AND THE KIDDOS DID A PRESENTATION THAT DAY. AND UM, THE MAYOR WAS THERE AND, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER MORRIS WAS THERE AND, UM, SUPERINTENDENT, UH DOCTOR LOPEZ WAS THERE AND OTHER SENIOR MEMBERS AND THESE KIDS REALLY, UH, PUT THEIR HEARTS IN THIS AND JUST DID A GREAT PRESENTATION FOR US AND REALLY, YOU KNOW, SET FORTH SOME GREAT IDEAS. THESE KIDS FIGURED OUT WHERE THE SUN WAS GONNA BE DURING THE DAY, SO THEY GET THE MOST LIGHT IN THE IN THE IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY THEY. THEY SPENT AN ENTIRE YEAR WORKING ON THIS AND DID A GREAT JOB. AND WE'RE VERY THANKFUL, UH, FOR THE PRESENTATION THAT THEY GAVE US THAT DAY. UH, WE WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT ONCE THIS GETS APPROVED AND GETS BUILT, THEY'LL ALL COME BACK AND SEE THE EFFORTS OF THEIR JOURNEY. UM FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON A SITE DESIGN OF ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP THAT WE DISCOVERED AFTER THE KID I WAS WORKED ON. IT WAS, UH, THERE WAS A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT THAT TOOK OUT A BUILDING THAT WE COULDN'T PUT THERE. SO WE HAD TO DO SOME REDESIGN, BUT WE'VE WE'VE GOTTEN THAT DONE. AND TONIGHT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS A RESULT OF THREE YEARS OF EFFORTS, UM, BY PROBABLY MORE THAN 50 FOLKS WHO'VE HAD INPUT TO THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND SO, UM, WE'RE LOOKING TONIGHT TO ASK YOUR APPROVAL FOR UH, 20 NEW SINGLE, UH, SINGLE 20 NEW RESIDENCES, UH, THAT REALLY LOOK LIKE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND ARE GONNA YOU KNOW THEY'RE ONE STORY . THEY'VE GOT THE HUGE FRONT PORCHES. UH, THEY'RE DESIGNED SO YOU CAN SIT ON THE PORCH AND ROCK AND VISIT WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS AND ENJOY. AND UH, YOU KNOW, UH, PROVIDING SAFE, SUSTAINABLE. UH, SANITARY HOUSING. UH, THESE WILL BE INCOME LIMITED TO 60% AMI, UH, WHICH IS FOR A SINGLE PERSON THEY CANNOT EARN MORE THAN 36,000. DOLLARS A YEAR AND FOR A MARRIED COUPLE OR TWO PEOPLE, THEY CANNOT EARN MORE THAN $41,000 A YEAR, SO THESE ARE DESIGNED VERY MUCH FOR OUR SENIOR NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE LIMITED INCOMES WHO NEED NEW, AFFORDABLE. UH, AND SANITARY HOUSING. UH, I'M GONNA SHARE A VIDEO OR MR ORLEY IS GONNA HELP ME TRY TO SHARE A VIDEO. WE'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE VIDEO, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU'LL UNDERSTAND, UH WHAT THIS PROJECT HAS COME FOR ME AND FOR ALL OF US AT GHFC. OVER. WAS A. IS THERE A MILLENNIAL IN THE HOUSE? I KNOW. RIGHT F. FOUR EVERYTHING'S UP FOR IT'S LOCKED. IT'S FROZEN.

OH, THERE YOU GO. YEAH. OH, YEAH. YOU KILL THAT ONE. TRY AGAIN. OH, THAT'S FINE. IS IT THIS? NO, WE WANT THE VIDEO RIGHT HERE, OK? THAT'S TRUE. OH, HERE WE GO.

[00:46:10]

MM. AND THEN MR MAY, UH, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN HER ATTEMPT TO ENTERTAIN TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANYBODY VERY GOOD. UH, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM MOORE. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. JUST FOR UH CLARIFICATION, SO THESE ARE GONNA BE RENTAL PROPERTIES.

OWNED BY GHC. MAINTAIN BY GHFC. ALSO, THAT IS CORRECT. OK? IS THIS SOMETHING WE'VE DONE? BEFORE. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS ALREADY IN PLACE? CERTAINLY NOT WITH GHFC, UH I JUST MIGHT MENTION, SIR, IS THAT WE ARE ALSO PARTNERS IN THE, UH UH IN COMMUNITY NEXT DOOR. AND PROBABLY, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO HOPE TO DO IS THAT WE WILL JOIN FORCES WITH THEM ONCE WE FINISH CONSTRUCTION, AND THAT USED THEM FOR THE MANAGEMENT SERVICES BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY GOT THE FULL TEAM THERE. AND ALSO, HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO, UH, WITH THIS SMALLER SITE WAS TO MAKE THE PROPERTY AS DENSE AS POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE AS MANY UNITS AS POSSIBLE. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE NOT INCLUDED HAS BEEN, UH, A COMMUNITY CENTER THAT SORT OF THING, AND WE DESIGNED THE PORCHES IN THE COURTYARDS TO TRY TO AN OUTDOOR COMMUNITY CENTER. BUT IF WE HAD TO PUT THAT COMMUNITY CENTER AND WE WOULD LOSE ANOTHER 44 OR FIVE UNITS AND DOING THAT, SO WE WANTED TO GET THE UNITS THERE. SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT PART OF THAT RELATIONSHIP. UH DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM WILL BE TO INCLUDE NOT ONLY THEM HANDLING DAY TO DAY MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS FOR US, BUT ALSO USING THEIR AMENITY PACKAGES OF THEIR CLUBHOUSE AND THEIR POOL AND THAT SORT OF THING FOR OUR RESIDENTS. BUT UH AGAIN, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DELIVER, UH, HOUSING THAT SENIORS NEED IN THIS CITY. WE KNOW THAT, UH OF THE MAJOR THE PALLADIUM SENIOR LEVAN SENIOR LIVING, UH, CSRA, UH, HOMETOWN AT GARLAND. ALL THOSE SENIOR COMMUNITIES THAT ARE AFFORDABLE STAY AT 100. OCCUPIED WITH A LONG WAITING LIST OF RESIDENTS WHO WANT TO GET IN THOSE. SO UH, WE ARE. WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THIS WILL BE WELCOMED IN THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO GIVE MORE AFFORDABLE UNITS TO OUR SENIORS. KIND OF LIKE A GREAT CONCEPT.

AND JUST, UH, THINKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS OFTENTIMES TO THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS ARE NOT. IT'LL BE LONG LIVED. THERE'S GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE'S GONNA COME INTO AND LATER ON, IS GOING TO BEGIN TO GO DOWNHILL BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE, UH, THE LANDLORDS OF IT. SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, SIR.

VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? MAY PRO TIM BASS. THANK UH THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION ON LOOKING THROUGH SOME OF THE RESPONSES. UM SOME OF THE CONCERNS ARE, UM, THE PROXIMITY FROM THE SWIG BUILDING TO THE, UH, THE HOUSES BEHIND IT. CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THAT DISTANCE IS? SURE. UM, LET'S LOOK AT THE CYCLING HERE. UM WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE THE EXACT DISTANCE. I MAY HAVE TO EYEBALL IT HERE, UM IF I HAD, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY. I'D SAY PROBABLY ABOUT 50 FT OR SO FROM THE BUILDING TO THE PROPERTY LINE.

UM THERE, OF COURSE, WILL BE A MASONRY WALL. UM ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIMETER, UH, BOUNDARY AND, UM, SOME TREES AS WELL. A LARGE CANOPY TREES PLANTED ALONG HERE, UH, ADJACENT TO THE DRIVE THRU OR ADJACENT TO THE ESCAPE LANE. THAT'S AN 8 FT WALL. CORRECT UH, YES, SIR. I BELIEVE SO. YEAH AND THEN I I'M FAMILIAR WITH THAT CORNER, ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT WALKED THROUGH THE PROPERTY, BUT JUST ABOUT ALL THE RESPONSES MENTIONED IN DITCH AS WELL. I'M GUESSING THERE'S A YES, SIR. IS THE DITCH GONNA BE FILLED? THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT THAT. AND THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS. I BELIEVE THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE REASON WHY THE TREES WERE SCOOTED UP. AND THEN THE AS THE DITCH COMES OVER HERE THAT YOU GET INTO ELECTRICAL EASEMENTS AND WHATNOT. SO THERE THERE WERE SOME CHALLENGES, BUT, UM, THE WALL WILL STILL BE BUILT ACCORDINGLY WHERE THEY CAN BUILD IT. UM, BUT THE TREES WERE SCOOTED UP AS THERE WAS ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE WALL AND THEN THE TREES BEING IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO IT. SO THOSE THOSE WERE SCREWED UP A LITTLE BIT, OK? AND IS THERE ANY OUTSIDE SEATING ANY PATIO SEATING? UM THERE ARE SOME BENCHES. THEY THEY DO NOT PLAN TO HAVE PATIOS, NO OR OR FORMAL TABLES AND SEATING, BUT THERE WILL BE SOME BENCHES IN THIS LANDSCAPE AREA. UM THE APPLICANT DOESN'T ANTICIPATE A LOT OF THAT TYPE OF, UM, CUSTOMER BASE THAT IS INTENDED TO BE REALLY A DRIVE THROUGH. COME AND GO.

MAYOR GARRETT JOHNSON, 6901 LA MANGA ROAD, DALLAS 75248. THANK YOU, COUNSEL. THANK YOU, MAYOR FOR THE TIME TODAY I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. AND YOU YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT USE ON THIS PROPERTY. THIS

[01:00:04]

PROPERTY HAS BEEN VACANT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS WAITING FOR THE PERFECT TENANT AND I THINK I THINK I FOUND THE PERFECT TENANT. THE IT'S NOT OBNOXIOUS. THERE'S NO ODOR SMELL. THERE'S NO LOUD NOISES. THERE'S NO LOITERING. THERE'S NOTHING THAT COMES WITH A TYPICAL FAST FOOD.

DRIVE THROUGH CONCEPT. UH, SWIG DRINKS OUT OF, UH, UH, SALT LAKE CITY LIKE WILL SAID THEY DO.

DRINK CONCEPTS, SODAS, FRUITS, EVERY WHICH WAY. THERE'S NO COFFEE. IT'S NEW TO THE MARKET.

UH, THERE ARE ABOUT 55 ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH ABOUT ANOTHER 50 IN DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SO THEY'RE REALLY TRYING TO EXPAND. THIS IS GONNA BE A CORPORATE STORE. SO YOU WON'T HAVE A FRANCHISEE WITH ONE OR TWO LOCATIONS GOING OUT CORPORATES RUNNING IT. THEY THEY KNOW HOW TO RUN AN OPERATION. YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A VACANT 5 700 FT. DRIVE THROUGH IN TWO YEARS. LET ME SEE IF I CAN. SO AS WELL, THERE'S A SITE PLAN. UM WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROJECT, I DEFINITELY WANTED TO GET IN FRONT OF ANY CONCERNS AS IT ABUTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE ADDRESSING SOME CONCERNS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL AS TALKING TO THE COUNCILMAN ABOUT HIS CONCERNS, AND IT'S IN HIS DISTRICT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE COVERING ANYTHING THAT THERE WAS SOME CONCERN, SO I SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH WITH WITH THE COUNCILMAN AND ADDRESSING HIS CONCERNS. WE'VE ALSO SCHEDULED A MEETING WITH THE HO A AND THE BOARD AND WENT TO THEIR HOUSE AND DISCUSSED THEIR CONCERNS. SO A LOT OF THE CONCERNS I SAW IN IN THE CAR. THERE ARE THE SAME CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE ADDRESSED IN OUR SITE PLAN, WORKING WITH STAFF AS WELL AS THE COUNCILMAN AND ADDRESSING THOSE, UM, ONE OF THE CONCERNS WAS OBVIOUSLY LIGHTING. WE ARE MEETING GARLAND CITY CODE, MAKING SURE THAT THAT OUR LIGHTS DON'T FLOOD INTO THE BACKYARD OF THE HOUSES TO THE NORTH, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT IMPACTING THEM AT NIGHT. UM THEY ALSO AS WELL AS MENTIONED, THERE'S NO SQUAWK BOX OR OR YOU KNOW, LOUD NOISE COMING OUT OF A BOX. THEY ARE RUNNERS LIKE DUTCH BROTHERS, HAVE THEY COME UP? GET YOUR ORDER. TAKING IN THEIR LITTLE TABLET, AND IT POPS UP AND THEN THEY'RE OUT THE DOOR. THEY'RE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THIS DRIVE THROUGH AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. UH, THERE IS NO PATIO.

THE BENCHES THAT, UH, WE MENTIONED WERE ADDED BY STAFF. WE WOULD HAPPILY TAKE THEM AWAY.

IF THAT WAS THE COUNCIL'S DECISION. THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT FROM STAFF,O THAT'S WHY THEY ARE SHOWN ON OUR PLAN. UH, PER CITY OF GARLAND CODE, NOT JUST ON A WHALE. UM WE WORKED WITH STAFF ON SCREENING THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH, MAKING SURE THAT WE WERE PROPERLY ADHERING TO THE SCREENING OR A SETBACK FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, MAKING SURE THAT WE GET THEM AS COMFORTABLE AS WE CAN HAVING A BUSINESS TO THE SOUTH. UH, AS WELL MENTIONED, THERE'S SOME EASEMENTS THAT RUN ALONG THE NORTH LINE, SO IT WAS A LITTLE BIT TRICKY, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE'VE COME UP WITH A GOOD SOLUTION THAT SHOULD SATISFY THE NEIGHBORS AS WELL AS MAKE OUR SITE PLAN MORE AND CIRCULATE AND ADHERE TO THE GARLAND BUILDING CODE. UH, THERE'S NO ON SITE COOKING, SO THERE'S NO FRYING. THERE'S NO COOKING. THERE'S NO DEEP FRYING. THERE'S NO OIL.

THERE'S NO THERE'S NOTHING. THEY HAND OUT COOKIES, PACKAGED COOKIES AND MUFFINS. SO THERE'S NO ON SITE COOKING AT ALL. SO THAT NOXIOUS SMELL OF FRIED FOOD AT 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT IS NOT GONNA BE PRESENT. UM ALSO, IT'S A SMALL BUILDING FOOTPRINT, SO I FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW IT. IT MESHES WELL WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S NOT A GIANT MCDONALD'S. IT'S FRYING FOOD AT 11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. UM IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UM, I'M HERE TO ANSWER THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

VERY GOOD, SIR. THANK YOU, UH, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? REMORSE. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY A QUESTION, BUT THE MINUTE THAT IT HIT THE PUBLIC'S VIEW THAT THAT SWIG WAS POTENTIALLY COMING HERE TO GARLAND. I CAN TELL YOU THAT EVERYBODY I HEARD FROM WAS REJOICING. AND ABOUT EIGHT OR 10 OF THEM WERE RAVING ABOUT DIRTY SODAS AND THE FIRST TWO OR THREE I WAS GOING DIRTY. OH, YES. UM ANYWAY, SO EVENTUALLY THEY EDUCATED ME, BUT APPARENTLY THAT'S VERY POPULAR. APPARENTLY SWIG IS VERY POPULAR IN A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE ALL IN FOR THIS CONCEPT. SO UM SO THANK YOU. I THINK GARLAND WILL WELCOME YOU. THANKS. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, UH, FOR THE APPLICANT. MADAM SECRETARY. DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? I HAVE NO ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS SIDE? THAT. THANK YOU, SIR. I BELIEVE WE'VE CLEARED THE QUEUE. I WILL SAY, UH, AS A COUNCIL MEMBER FOR SIX YEARS FOR THE THAT FOR DISTRICT SEVEN. THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY HAS BEEN VERY CHALLENGING. UH, BECAUSE OF ITS SHE AND LOCA AND JUST LOTS OF LOTS OF ISSUES, AND I THINK THE CLOSEST WE EVER HAD TO A DEVELOPMENT ON THAT PROPERTY WAS A PROPOSED SOMEBODY WAS

PROPOSING AN OIL CHANGE LOCATION , WHICH I CAN TELL YOU WOULD HAVE DISRUPTED THE NEIGHBORS BEYOND SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT USE. AND I THINK, UH, THE WAY THE SITE HAS BEEN LAID OUT.

UM I THINK IS VERY GOOD. SO WITH ALL THAT, UH, COUNCIL HERICK IN YOUR DISTRICT, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND I AGREE WITH YOU SAID THERE AND I APPRECIATE ALSO THE APPLICANT'S WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND CONDUCT MEETINGS AND I'VE BEEN A PART OF THOSE AND I. I REALLY APPRECIATE THEM, TAKING ALL THEIR CONCERNS INTO CONSIDERATION AND MAKING CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN IS AS THEY SAW FIT. SO WITH THAT SAID, I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE THE CHANGE IN ZONING FROM THE PD DISTRICT TO COMMUNITY RETAIL DISTRICT AND ALSO PROVE THE SPECIAL USE PROVISION FOR A RESTAURANT AND DRIVE-THROUGH USE. VERY GOOD. I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK AND A SECOND BY COUNCILOR DUTTON TO APPROVE THIS ITEM HAS BEEN PRESENTED. SEEING NO FURTHER COMMENT. MADAM SECRETARY, PREPARE THE VOTE, PLEASE. AND DISPLAY THE VOTE.

AND THAT ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING YOU AND I WILL TELL YOU.

I JUST LIVE A COUPLE OF MINUTES FROM THIS LOCATION, SO I WILL MOST LIKELY BE SEEING YOU OFTEN.
