WAS IN MY WAY. SO WELCOME TO CITY HALL. I ALWAYS APPRECIATE WHEN I'M STANDING HERE OR SITTING THERE. AND I'M NOT JUST TALKING TO EMPTY MAROON SEATS. SO T THANK YOU FOR BEING OUT HEE THIS EVENING. WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF PRESENTATIONS. WE WILL START OUT WITH NATIONAL SURVEYORS WEEK. GLENN, I THINK I THINK I LOST YOU SOMEWHERE, BUT I LOST YOU BEHIND THE SURVEY AROUND THE COLUMN. COME ON UP. COME BACK HERE. OH, YEAH. AND YOU? THANK YOU. WELL, THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME. IT IS NATIONAL SURVEYORS WEEK, AND FOR MORE THAN A QUARTER MILLENNIUM, SURVEYORS HAVE PLAYED CENTRAL ROLE IN THE EPIC SAGA OF AMERICA. HER PEOPLE AND THE LAND THEY LOVE. WHEREAS THE FOUR PRESIDENTS DEPICTED ON MOUNT RUSHMORE WERE SURVEYORS, INCLUDING THOMAS JEFFERSON, WHO TASKED TWO OF THE MOST FAMOUS LAND SURVEYORS IN U.S. HISTORY, MERIWETHER LEWIS AND WILLIAM CLARK, TO EMBARK ON AN EXPEDITION THROUGH THE UNCHARTED TERRITORY PURCHASED FROM FRANCE, SOWING THE SEEDS OF MANIFEST DESTINY AND A SENSE OF PURPOSE THAT WOULD SHAPE THE TRAJECTORY OF OUR PEOPLE FOR YEARS TO COME. THE PROMISE OF LAND OWNERSHIP BECKONED PIONEERS FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE GLOBE, AND IN THE ERA OF WESTERN EXPANSION, MANY SUCH SETTLERS JOURNEYED TO THE LONE STAR STATE TO BUILD A BETTER LIFE. TO INSPIRE CONTINUED IMMIGRATION FROM THE UNITED STATES, STEPHEN F AUSTIN, THE FATHER OF TEXAS, PUBLISHED THE FIRST COMMERCIALLY PRODUCED MAP OF THE REGION IN 1830 AND UPDATED IT IN 1840 TO REFLECT TEXAS'S NEWFOUND STATUS AS A SOVEREIGN NATION. SURVEYORS HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR MANY GLORIES OF THE PAST, AND THEIR INFLUENCE IS AS SIGNIFICANT AS EVER IN THE PRESENT, WHETHER THROUGH CONSTRUCTION, TRANSPORTATION, CONSERVATION, INDUSTRY, DISASTER RECOVERY. MUCH OF MODERN LIFE DEPENDS ON OUR TALENTED SURVEYORS. AND WHEREAS THE FIELD OF LAND SURVEYING IS A SOPHISTICATED SCIENCE THAT INVOLVES PRINCIPLES OF GEODESY, YOU GUYS TRY TO GET ME WITH THAT ONE EVERY YEAR. MATHEMATICS, ADVANCED DATA COLLECTION AND MAPPING METHODS RELATED APPLIED AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND RELEVANT LAWS TO MEASUREMENT, EVIDENCE AND BOUNDARIES. WHEREAS

[00:05:05]

FROM LAND OWNERSHIP TO INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT, SURVEYORS MAKE A MEANINGFUL, TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE IN OUR CITY, STATE AND NATION, AND THE PROFESSION REQUIRES A BREADTH OF TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, ASTUTE ANALYTICAL ABILITIES, AND A GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL. SO NOW, THEREFORE, I, SCOTT LEMAY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF GARLAND, ALONG WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MARCH 16TH THROUGH THE 22ND, 2025 AS SURVEYORS WEEK IN THE CITY OF GARLAND, TEXAS.

GARLAND IS ONE OF ABOUT 20 AREA CITIES THAT IS ASSISTING US WITH THIS RECOGNITION, ALONG WITH OUR GOVERNOR ABBOTT, WHO ALSO EXCELLENT, HAD A PROCLAMATION THIS WEEK. SO VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.

[3. Proposed Development Agreement with Trilogy - BRD Acquisitions, LLC Approve a proposed development agreement with Trilogy – BRD Acquisitions, LLC, in regard to a 178-acre residential development in the former Eastern Hills Country Club. ]

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH TRILOGY A, B TRILOGY, BIRDIE ACQUISITIONS LLC. AND ON THIS ITEM COUNCIL AND FOR EVERYONE PRESENT, WE DO HAVE A STAFF PRESENTATION. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I AM OBVIOUSLY NOT AYAKO SCHUSTER WHO WOULD NORMALLY DO THESE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATIONS. I AM ANDY HESSER, ONE OF THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGERS, AND SO

[00:15:03]

I WILL BE BRIEFING COUNCIL ON THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OPPORTUNITY. HERE. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE PROPOSED SITE IS EAST OF SOUTH COUNTRY CLUB ROAD AND CENTERVILLE BROADWAY AREA, ADJACENT TO LAKE RAY HUBBARD. MANY OF YOU KNOW THIS SITE FORMERLY AS ABOUT 178 ACRES OF THE EASTERN HILLS COUNTRY CLUB. IT OPENED IN 1954 AND ABOUT 60 YEARS LATER CLOSED. THIS PROPERTY HAS SEEN SOME OTHER DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL IN THE PAST, SUCH AS THERE WAS 1 IN 2015, AND THAT PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT GROUP WAS PROPOSING 550 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, AVERAGING 1600 SQUARE FEET. THAT DID NOT GO FORWARD. IN 2018, A GROUP CALLED MY POSSIBILITIES HAD WORKED THROUGH A PLAN DEVELOPMENT, A PD, WHICH IS 1837, AND IT PRESCRIBED SOME VERY SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT TERMS, MOST OF WHICH ARE A MAXIMUM OF 300 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES BETWEEN A MINIMUM OF 1700 TO 2000FT■S. HERE'S THE ONLY ACCESSIBLE PHOTO SINCE IT IS STILL CURRENTLY GATED, BUT THIS IS THE OUTSIDE OF IT. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THIS IS VERY HIGH UP, AND THEN THE PROPERTY KIND OF SLOPES DOWN TOWARDS THE LAKE. EXCUSE ME. SO THE, THE GROUP THAHAT IS COMING FORWARD WITH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INVESTMENT IS A GROUP CALLED TRILOGY. THEY'RE OUT OF ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA. THEY SPECIALIZE IN RESIDENTIAL INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THEY ARE CURRENTLY UNDER PURCHASE CONTRACT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. MY POSSIBILITIES. THEIR PROJECT VISION IS TO ESSENTIALLY PERFORM EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE BY RIGHT AFFORDED BY THE PD. THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2018, WHICH IS THE 300 SINGLE FAMILY NEW SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE RANGE MINIMUM AND 35% OF THAT SITE MUST BE OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPE BUFFERED TO BE MAINTAINED BY THE HOA. SO YOU CAN SEE KIND OF THEIR THE EXHIBIT THAT IS THE PROPOSED LAYOUT. I CAN POINT OUT WHILE I'VE GOT THIS MAP UP HERE. SO IT DOES TALK ABOUT A TRAIL CONNECTION. IF YOU LOOK AT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF IT, THE TRAIL, THE CITY'S TRAIL MASTER PLAN PROPOSES ONE DAY A TRAIL THAT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN LAKE.

RAY HUBBARD GOES DOWN TO WIN. JOYCE PARK GOES TO JOHN PAUL JONES AROUND HARBOR POINT AND SO FORTH. SO THIS PROPOSAL DOES PROVIDE EASEMENTS FOR THAT TRAIL CONNECTION. THE MINIMUM SALE PRICE FOR THE HOMES IS TO BE 500,000 OR GREATER. SO THE PROPOSED INVESTMENT IS THEY ARE REQUESTING A REBATE. AND I WANT TO EMPHASIZE REBATE. THEY ARE TO PAY THE 3.4 MILLION APPROXIMATELY IN DEVELOPMENT FEES THAT YOUR PERMIT FEES, YOUR TREE MITIGATION FEES, IMPACT FEES. A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF THIS PROJECTED DEVELOPMENT VALUE IS 150 MILLION. WHAT THAT WOULD THEN PRODUCE IN TERMS OF NEW REVENUE TO THE CITY IS APPROXIMATELY 830,000 TO 900,000 ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. IT IS CURRENTLY VALUED. REVENUE IN TAX VALUE IS $40,005. SO THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT JUMP IN NEW REVENUE. THE REASON FOR THAT RANGE IN THOSE NUMBERS IS IT'S DIFFICULT TO NAIL IT DOWN. EXACTLY. IT DEPENDS ON THE ULTIMATE VALUE OF THE HOME. AND IT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE VARIETY OF EXEMPTIONS, WHETHER IT BE HOMESTEAD SENIOR VETERAN, WHATEVER. SO WITH THAT, THAT ESTIMATED REVENUE RECOVERY PERIOD IS ALSO A BIT FLUID, BUT ON AVERAGE IT'S ROUGHLY CALCULATED TO BE A RECOVERY OF REVENUE IN THREE YEARS AND SIX MONTHS. THEY ALSO HAVE A PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT, AS WITH ALL WHAT WE CALL 380 AGREEMENTS. THAT'S A CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT.

AGAIN, EMPHASIZING THIS IS NOT A ZONING CASE. THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. AND SO THE STATE STATUTE REQUIRES A COUPLE OF CONDITIONS. ONE, THAT IT'S FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WHICH CLEARLY IT IS IN TERMS OF THE REVENUE NEW REVENUE VALUE. AT THE SAME TIME, IT HAS SOME PROVISIONS FOR CONTROL OF DELIVERY, SO THAT THE TAXPAYERS THEN WOULD WOULD HAVE GUARANTEES TH THOSE PERFORMANCE METRICS ARE IN FACT, MET. AND HERE YOU KIND OF SEE WHAT THAT IS. AND SO THEY'VE GOT SOME DEADLINES THAT THEY HAVE TO FULFILL IN TERMS OF BUILDING PERMITS. THEY ALSO HAVE A REQUIREMENT FOR TWO AMENITY CENTERS. AND I DIDN'T LIST ALL THE MILESTONES IN THERE BECAUSE IT GETS A LITTLE COMPLICATED IN TERMS OF IF THINGS AND THEREFORES IN TERMS OF WHEN THEY START, WHEN THEY BEGIN CONSTRUCTION, WHEN THEY GET PERMITS. BUT ESSENTIALLY, IF THOSE MILESTONES ARE NOT MET AND IT'S IN A ROUGHLY THREE YEAR TIME FRAME, THEN THE AGREEMENT

[00:20:02]

STIPULATES THAT WE CAN THEN HALT ANY ADDITIONAL BUILDING PERMITS UNTIL THE TWO CENTERS ARE COMPLETED. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SO FAR ALONG. AND THEN THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE THERE, IF SOMETHING CHANGES, DON'T HAVE THE AMENITY CENTERS THAT THEY WERE THAT THEY WERE PROMISED. SO WITH THAT, THAT'S THE HIGH LEVEL DETAILS AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF THEY ARE OUTSIDE OF MY KNOWLEDGE, WE WILL LOOK TO SOMEONE WHO DOES. VERY GOOD. QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM, LOOK, WHAT ARE THE AMENITY CENTERS YOU WOULD START OUT WITH? ONE THAT I DON'T KNOW. SO THOSE ARE TYPICALLY AND NABILA MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO IT SPECIFICALLY, BUT THOSE ARE GOING TO BE TYPICALLY POOL FACILITIES, A POOL HOUSE, A MEETING SPACE, THAT KIND OF THING. SO I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY HAD PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS FOR THEMENITY BUILDINGS LINED UP. THEY DO. WE WILL REFER TO THE PD DIRECTLY. I LIKE HOW YOU MAKE HIM READ IT. YEAH. GOOD CHOICE. SO YES, INDEED IT IS A SWIMMING POOL, PLAYGROUND, CLUBHOUSE, SHADE STRUCTURE, RESTROOMS NEAR THE AMENITY CENTER AND AMENITY CENTER. NUMBER TWO IS OFFICES, CONFERENCE ROOMS AVAILABLE TO ITS MEMBERS OR RESIDENTS. EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKER OR ANY NATIVE SPEAKERS, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NOPE. MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AND THANK YOU, ANDY, FOR AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION AS IT RELATES TO THE PROJECT IN QUESTION, I WANT TO ASK YOU A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER. THE DIFFERENCE YOU STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A ZONING CASE, BUT THIS IS A PD WHERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT INCENTIVES. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE FOR US, PLEASE? THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ZONING AND A 380 AGREEMENT. YES, SIR. SO AND THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK SOMETIMES THOSE GET KIND OF BLENDED TOGETHER AND CONFLATED. SO ZONING IS ESSENTIALLY IT IS THE STATE ALLOWS A MUNICIPALITY TO REGULATE CERTAIN LAND USES. AND IT'S VERY SPECIFIC IN WHAT THAT AUTHORITY IS IN A COUPLE OF WAYS. AND IT ALSO REQUIRES IT TO BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A COMP PLAN. SO THAT'S WHY WE GO THROUGH ALL THE, THE, THE PROCESS THAT TAKE QUITE A BIT OF TIME AND PUBLIC INPUT AND DETAIL TO DETERMINE WHAT ARE THE LAND USES THAT ARE AFFORDED TO US BY THE STATE THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AND THAT'S SITE DEVELOPMENT. IT'S HOW YOU SITUATE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE SITE. SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE VARIOUS LAND USES THAT YOU SEE.

THE DIFFERENCE WITH 380 AGREEMENTS IS IT'S IN ITS NAME THAT AGAIN, AFTER STATE STATUTE, CHAPTER 380, AND AGAIN, IT ALLOWS MUNICIPALITIES TO OFFER FINANCIAL INCENTIVES THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY GEARED TO STIMULATE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, AND THAT THAT IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL THAT MUNICIPALITIES HAVE. AND IT ALLOWS US TO ATTRACT BUSINESS, THAT INCENTIVIZES PROJECT, THAT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY, BOTH FROM A FINANCIAL ASPECT AS WELL AS A QUALITY OF LIFE. SO TWO VERY DIFFERENT TOOLS THAT HELP SHAPE A COMMUNITY AND ITS FUTURE. AND OUR PURPOSE FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT IS TO DO WHAT TONIGHT IS FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER A CHAPTER 380 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. I WOULD SAY THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE HOMES BE INCLUDED IN THAT. IT IS THE MINIMUMS IN THEIR PERFORMANCE NOW. IT'S BOTH IN TERMS OF THE PD ADDRESSES, SOME OF THAT. BUT THERE'S ALSO IN TERMS FOR THEM TO RECEIVE THE REBATE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE SOME PERFORMANCE METRICS IN THERE, AS I STATED BEFORE THAT, THAT ENSURE THAT THAT HAPPENS ON A IN A TIMELY FASHION. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT IS MEANT BY THE PAYBACK TIME? IS THREE YEARS AND EIGHT MONTHS. SO IF THE I BELIEVE IT WAS 3.4 MILLION, SO THAT IS THE REQUEST THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR ALL OF THEIR PERMITTING FEES UP FRONT. AND THEN IN ORDER TO HELP MATERIALIZE THAT PROJECT FROM A, FROM A COST BASIS, THE DEVELOPER REQUEST THESE TYPES OF REBATES OR OTHER TYPES OF THERE'S A LOT OF TOOLS IN OUR TOOLBOX. IT BASICALLY MEANS THAT THE NEW REVENUE THAT WE GAIN. SO KEEP IN MIND RIGHT NOW IT'S A MERE 40,000 IN PROPERTY TAX VALUE. AS THAT GOES UP, AS THEY BUILD OUT, IT'S PROJECTED THAT WE WOULD RECOVER THE AMOUNT OF THE REBATE THAT WE FOREGO IN APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 3 AND A HALF YEARS. AND THEN AFTER THAT, THEN WE START TO ACCOUNT FOR THE NEW REVENUE INTO THE GENERAL FUND. AND THAT'S AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.

THE GENERAL FUND IS OUR MOST CHALLENGING FUND TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CONTINUES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE CITIZENS. THAT'S THE FUND THAT PAYS FOR, YOU KNOW, POLICE, FIRE, PARKS, LIBRARIES, STREETS, STAFF THAT ADMINISTERS ALL THE SERVICES THAT PEOPLE NEED. AND SO THAT'S WHY THAT ECONOMIC INCENTIVE TOOL IS SO IMPORTANT TO US TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT FUND IS SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT OVER TIME. I WANTED TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS, BECAUSE THOSE ARE

[00:25:01]

SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I'VE BEEN ASKED HERE LATELY, AND I WANTED TO GET IT UP FRONT THAT, IN FACT, THE 380 IS AN INCENTIVE PACKAGE THAT HAD A TOOL THAT WE USE IN ORDER TO HELP THE BUILDER TO BRING THE PROJECT INTO FRUITION. IS THAT CORRECT? IT IS CORRECT. IN ADDITION, IT ALSO HELPS THE CITY AGAIN MEET SOME OF ITS REVENUE GOALS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. VERY GOOD. I SEE NO ONE ELSE IN THE QUEUE. THANK YOU. ANDY. YES. THANK YOU NABILA, FOR, YOU KNOW, HELPING HIM OUT THERE. AND MADAM SECRETARY, I DO BELIEVE WE HAVE SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. MAYOR, PLEASE CALL OUR FIRST ONE. LINDSAY FOGELMAN.

AND I WILL ASK YOU TO GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES. LINDSAY FOGELMAN, 1330 SURREY COURT, 75043. I WANTED TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM JUST WHEN THIS CAME FROM MY POSSIBILITIES. THEY WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY REALLY WELL, AND I KNOW WE AGREED ON ALL THOSE TERMS FROM THAT PD. AND I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS IN AS FAR AS IT FOLLOWS THAT PD. I NOTICED SOME THINGS IN THIS AGREEMENT THAT SEEM TO DIFFER SLIGHTLY, AND IF I MISUNDERSTAND, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THE AGREEMENT REFERS TO PD 1827, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS 1837, SO I JUST WANTED TO I DON'T KNOW IF I PRINTED THAT OFF BEFORE IT WAS CORRECTED, BUT 3737 1837 FOR PLANNING. I'M PRETTY SURE THE AGREEMENT REFERENCES 27, BUT ANYWAY, BEYOND THAT IT REFERENCED ORDINANCE 7020, AND I WAS UNABLE TO FIND THAT ONLINE. BUT I'M JUST WAITING FOR A COPY OF IT. IS THE ORDINANCE FOR THE PD? BUT ANYWAY, THE 20 IS THE ORDINANCE THAT ENACTS THE PD, RIGHT? I WAS JUST UNABLE TO FIND A COPY OF THAT, SO I JUST WANTED TO SEE IT. THE AGREEMENT STATES APPROXIMATELY 320 HOMES IN THE SECOND, WHEREAS PREVIOUSLY IT HAD BEEN STATED A MAXIMUM OF 300 HOMES. AND I'D LIKE SOME CLARIFICATION ON WHAT APPROXIMATELY MEANS. NO. OKAY.

KEEP GOING. WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT. ALL RIGHT. THE STAFF REPORT STATES THAT THE HOMES WILL RANGE IN SIZE FROM 1700 FEET TO 2000FT■S. AT LEAST 35% WOULD BE THE 1700. AT LEAST 2500 WOULD BE AT LEAST 2,035% OPEN SPACE. SO IS THE REMAINDER OF THAT PD, SF SEVEN OR. AND THEN I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE TARGET TARGET ASSESSED VALUES AND TARGET SALE VALUES OF FOUR, 50 AND 500,000. AND ARE THESE REASONABLE AND EXPECTED FOR HOMES OF THESE SIZE IN OUR AREA? THE SURROUNDING HOMES ARE. OF THE 90 OVER 90 PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO THAT PROPERTY, THERE ARE THREE THAT ARE BELOW 2000FT■S, AND IT ACTUALLY GOES P TO 8900FT■S. AND I KNOW THAT WAS ALL APPROVED IN THE PREVIOUS PD, BUT IT REFERENCES MINIMUMS OF 1700 TO 2000, SO I WAS CURIOUS IF IT WOULD GO OVER THAT. AND THEN I WANTED SOME CLARIFICATION ON WHAT THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEES THAT WERE REFERENCED WERE, AND I THINK THAT WAS IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WESLEY JOHNSON. HANG ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON. WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO CIRCLE BACK TO SOME OF THIS. ANDI SORRY, MR. JOHNSON. WILL. I'M GOING TO TRY TO REMEMBER ALL THOSE QUESTIONS. SO IF THERE IS A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE DWELLING UNITS, THE PD IS GOING TO PREVAIL. SO IF IT NEEDS TO BE AN AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE PD IS A MAXIMUM OF 300 AS I'M READING IT HERE. SO IF THERE'S A DISCREPANCY THEN THIS IS WHAT WILL WILL BE WILL BE AMENDED TO.

SO THAT CLARIFIES THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW THE IMPACT FEES OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. THAT WAS A GROSS CALCULATION THAT I HAVE. THAT INCLUDES ALL THE PERMIT FEES, IMPACT FEES AND TREE MITIGATION. SO I CAN GET THAT NUMBER, BUT I DON'T HAVE IT BROKEN OUT ON ON HAND. WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE? THE I THINK I THINK THE QUESTION WAS TO THE QUANTITY OF HOMES IN THE IN THE SQUARE FOOT. SO SPECIFICALLY IN THE PD THERE IS A MAXIMUM OF 35% OF THAT TOTAL ARE ALLOWED TO BE SF6, 25% ARE ALLOWED TO BE SF EIGHT. AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF THE LOTS CAN BE EITHER SF SIX,

[00:30:07]

SEVEN, OR EIGHT. SO THERE IS A PERCENTAGE THAT'S REQUIRED. AND ALL OF THOSE PERFORMANCE MEASURES GET CHECKED THROUGHOUT THE PERMITTING PROCESS. OKAY. I THINK I THINK THAT WAS IT. AND YOU MENTIONED THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE HAS JUST BEEN ROUNDED INTO THE OTHER FEES, CORRECT. THAT PERMIT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. CALCULATION OF THE GRAND TOTAL OF THE REBATES THAT WERE BEING REQUESTED. AND I GUESS THE OTHER QUESTION OR, YOU KNOW, THE PROJECTED, THE PROJECTED SALES, THE PROJECTED SALE PRICE OF THOSE HOMES IS CERTAINLY MARKET DRIVEN, YOU KNOW, AND IT IS IN THERE. SO THERE'S YOU MENTIONED TWO NUMBERS. SO THERE'S TWO NUMBERS. THERE'S THE SALE VALUE AND THE DCAD VALUE. THOSE ARE FREQUENTLY NOT THE SAME. AND SO THERE'S A WHAT IS WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS THE SALE VALUE. WHAT GENERALLY HAPPENS IS IT ENDS UP BEING THE DCAD. BUT THAT'S WHAT THOSE TWO REPRESENT. BUT THAT'S THE THAT IS THE VALUE REGARDLESS OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, AS LONG AS IT MEETS THE MINIMUM. THEY'VE ALSO GOT TO MEET THAT THAT SALES PRICE OR THAT DCAD PRICE. VERY GOOD. HANG ON ONE SECOND, MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AND WHILE ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING ANSWERED ARE, ARE INFORMATIVE, VERY INFORMATIVE, THESE QUESTIONS WERE ALSO ASKED IN 2018 WHEN THIS AGREEMENT CAME BEFORE COUNCIL. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT WAS VETTED IN SUCH A FASHION THAT EVERY SQUARE FOOTAGE IS 1700 IS THE FIRST CATEGORY, THE 1750, THE SECOND CATEGORY, 2000 AND ABOVE IS YOUR THIRD CATEGORY. SO THERE ARE NO LESS THAN 1700, ALL 1700 AND ABOVE. BUT AGAIN, ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING ASKED PRESENTLY WERE ADDRESSED BEFORE THE VOTE WAS TAKEN BACK IN 2018. WHEN THAT VOTE WAS TAKEN IN 2018, THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE ANSWERING PRESENTLY, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, ARE NOT PART OF WHAT WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO DO. THE 380, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, HAS NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE ZONING ASPECT OF THE CASE.

ANDY. AND AS ANDY STATED, THE 380 AGREEMENT, THE PD PREVAILS. THE PD AND THE 380 AGREEMENT WILL MATCH EACH OTHER AS FAR AS THEIR DISCUSSION, SO THAT. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. THANK YOU SIR.

I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD AND CALL OUR NEXT SPEAKER. I THINK WE ALREADY KNOW WHO IT IS, OR WE SORT OF TIPPED HER. YOU KNOW, WESLEY JOHNSON. IF YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES, SIR. MY NAME IS WESLEY JOHNSON. I LIVE AT 3007 BLUFFVIEW GARLAND 75043. MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED THERE AND OWNED THAT PROPERTY FOR 35 YEARS NOW. BLUFFVIEW IS THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE GOLF COURSE. IT'S THE LAST ROAD WE ARE. WE ARE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE FIRST LINE OF HOMES. WE ARE THE SECOND LINE OF HOMES. I'VE LIVED THERE LONG ENOUGH TO WATCH THE GOLF COURSE BECOME A GOLF COURSE AND THEN GO INTO BANKRUPTCY. AND THEN THE FIGHT WITH MILLER AND THEN THE WORKING WITH MY POSSIBILITIES, AND THEN THE DELAY BECAUSE OF COVID AND PRICES GOING UP, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS, WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE DISCUSSION WITH MILLER AND MY POSSIBILITIES, WAS DEATHLY CONCERNED THAT THE GOLF COURSE IS A FIRE HAZARD. AND QUITE FRANKLY, THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS WITH THIS DRY WEATHER AND THE WIND AND THINKING OF WEST TEXAS AND THINKING OF WEST TEXAS FIRES, I'M THINKING THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT TRUE. BOTTOM LINE IS I SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE THAT'S ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. AS FAR AS VALUES OF PROPERTY. MY WIFE AND I HAVE A MODEST HOME, LIKE I SAY ACROSS THE STREET. BLUFFVIEW WE'RE ON DCAD. IT'S 2400FT■S. WE ARE ON DCAD CURRENTLY AT 468,000. SO A BRAND NEW HOME ON THE GOLF COURSE AT TWO 2000FT■S, COMING IN VALUED AT 500,000, DOESN'T SURPRISE ME AT ALL. I THINK THAT THIS PROPERTY NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED. I THINK THIS PROPERTY DEVELOPED WILL GIVE A REAL SHOT IN THE ARM TO SOUTH GARLAND, AND SOUTH GARLAND NEEDS A SHOT IN THE ARM. LOTS OF MY NEIGHBORS HAVE FELT LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED BY THE CITY,

[00:35:04]

AND I THINK THIS IS THE TYPE OF STUFF THAT WOULD REALLY GIVE THE ECONOMIC SHOT IN THE ARM TO SOUTH GARLAND. THAT'S NECESSARY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, SIR, FOR COMING OUT. CALL OUR NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. THERE ARE NO MORE ON THIS ITEM. SORRY. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? NO. OKAY. COME FORWARD. I GOT A QUESTION ABOUT. WELL, YOU ASK YOUR QUESTION HERE, AND I'LL NEED YOU TO FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD AND WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES.

WHAT? WHAT'S. OKAY, I'LL. I'LL NEEE YOU TO GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND MY NAME IS ROBIN JOHNSON. I STAND 1518. COLONEL, COLONEL. DRIVE IN GARLAND. YES, SIR. AND MY QUESTION IS, CAN YOU CAN YOU EXPLAIN, LIKE THE ROADS. LIKE HOW WOULD, HOW HOW WOULD, HOW DID HOW THE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO AFFECT TRAFFIC THROUGH THERE THROUGH, YOU KNOW, CLUB HILL AND THE IN AND OUTS OF THE OF THE, OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT. AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE IMPACT IS GOING TO HAVE ON THE ON THE TAXES. IS IT GOING TO RAISE, WOULD THAT RAISE THE TAXES IN THE AREA. THAT'S MY QUESTION. OKAY. I MEAN, FOR, FOR FEAR OF STRAYING TOO FAR OUT, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WHEN THIS WAS DEVELOPED OR WHEN THIS WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2018, ALL OF THE TRAFFIC ISSUES, CONCERNS WERE ADDRESSED. OBVIOUSLY THE COUNTRY CLUB HAS A ONE WAY IN, ONE WAY OUT SORT OF ARRANGEMENT, BUT THE TRAFFIC ISSUES, CONCERNS HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH AND DON'T REALLY PERTAIN TO THIS FINANCIAL AGREEMENT. BUT THOSE THOSE ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. THE SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION. TAXES. YES, IT IT WILL. THESE ARE NEW HOMES. THEY WILL GENERATE NEW TAX REVENUE AS FAR AS THE IMPACT ON ON THE SURROUNDING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IMPACT IS SPECIFICALLY, BUT I WOULD IMAGINE IT WOULD PROBABLY BE MINIMAL AT BEST. AND WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME? BECAUSE YOUR HOME STAYS YOUR HOME IS ALREADY EXISTING. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IT'S THERE. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW WHERE CAN I? I WASN'T LIVING IN 2018, OKAY. I BOUGHT THE HOUSE IN 2021. SO CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE CAN I FIND LIKE THE INFORMATION ON THE TRAFFIC? BECAUSE THAT'S A BIG DEAL. I WILL TELL YOU WHEN YOU FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD OVER THERE, THE CITY SECRETARY WILL GET YOUR INFORMATION, MAYBE BY EMAIL. WE CAN SEND YOU THE LINK TO THE DOCUMENTS OF WHEN THIS WAS APPROVED IN 2018. AND THAT WILL CLARIFY EVERYTHING. WELL IT'S GOOD. IT'S I MEAN, YOU MEAN YOU KIND OF BEING VAGUE A LITTLE BIT SO. WELL THE THERE'S A LOT OF DETAILS IN THAT ZONING PLAN DEVELOPMENT. BUT YES, THE INFORMATION IS IN THERE. COOL.

THANKS. OKAY. SO I JUST WANT ONE QUESTION. IS IT A DONE DEAL? OKAY. THAT'S MY QUESTION. ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S JUST THIS IS NOT TO DISCUSS THE ZONING. THE ZONING OF THIS PROPERTY WAS DEALT WITH IN 2018. SO WE ARE NOT HERE TO DISCUSS HOW MANY HOMES, THE SIZE OF HOMES THAT THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DETERMINED, BUT IT WILL BE DEVELOPED AS WE. QUESTION IT.

WELL DONE DEAL THAT WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS THAT. YES. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. LET'S SEE HERE. I THINK I'VE ALREADY ASKED IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS. AND OBVIOUSLY I GOT SOME TAKERS. SIR, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK, I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD AND COME TO THE PODIUM. FIRST. SO, GUYS. YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES. YES. KENNETH. SEAN HAYNES, 434 BROOKFIELD DRIVE. I'M NOT OUT THERE IN SOUTH GARLAND, BUT I'M JUST WONDERING HOW THE WATER RESTRICTIONS WHEN WE GO INTO A DROUGHT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IS THERE GOING TO BE ENOUGH WATER FOR 300 MORE HOUSES AND FAMILIES? THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION. YEAH. OUR CURRENT WATER PROJECTIONS DO NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THIS. ALL RIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS? MAKE SURE WE GET THE SPEAKER CARDS FILLED OUT. COUNCIL, I THINK WE HAVE WORKED THROUGH THE QUEUE AND THIS ITEM WAS PULLED BY COUNCIL MEMBER DUTTON. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD? YES, SIR. I THINK WE GOT IT

[00:40:01]

COVERED. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER. I'M SORRY, MAYOR. PRO TEM MAYOR. PRO TEM MOORE, THIS IS IN YOUR DISTRICT. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AND THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR ME TO GO THROUGH ANY LONG DISSERTATIONS AS IT RELATES TO THIS PROPERTY. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, PLEASE, TO APPROVE THE PROPOSAL AS PRESENTED. I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM MOORE AND A SECOND BY DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM LUKE TO APPROVE THIS ITEM AS PRESENTED. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, MADAM SECRETARY, YOU PREPARE THE VOTE FOR US, PLEASE. COUNCIL AND DISPLAY THE VOTE. AND THAT ITEM PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM FOUR. THIS IS A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

[4. Proposed Development Agreement with Garage of America Approve a proposed development agreement with Garage of America in regard to an 8-acre self-storage condo development on President George Bush Turnpike and Brand Road.]

WITH GARAGES OF AMERICA. COUNCILMEMBER BASS, YOU HAD THIS ITEM PULLED, AND I DO BELIEVE THE DEVELOPER IS HERE FOR A PRESENTATION AS WELL. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THAT, THAT IS CORRECT. YES. WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM GARAGES OF AMERICA HERE. OKAY. AND.'M GOING TO ASK THAT I'M GUESSING YOU FILLED OUT A SPEAKER CARD. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. AND I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN BEFORE US IN THE PAST. I'M GOING TO NEED YOU TO GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND SINCE THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED, I WILL GO AHEAD AND SAY FIVE MINUTES A LOT. TIME ALLOTMENT. MADAM SECRETARY, IF YOU COULD SET THE TIMER TO THAT, YOU'RE ON. MY NAME IS FRED GANS, OWNER OF GARAGES OF AMERICA. I RESIDE AT 2323 TARPLEY, SUITE 100, IN CARROLLTON, TEXAS. YEAH. CAN I PULL THE MICROPHONE OVER TOWARD YOU? THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT. SORRY, SORRY. 2323 TARPLEY IN CARROLLTON, TEXAS, IS MY OFFICE HEADQUARTERS. WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS ON THIS PD AND THE LONG AND ARDUOUS EFFORT OF GETTING ALL THE APPROVALS AND WORKING WITH THE HOMEOWNERS AND NUMEROUS MEETINGS WITH THEOA TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE MEETING ALL THEIR NEEDS AND WANTS AND LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS AND WHAT HAVE YOU. WE KNEW GOING IN THAT WE HAD A TREE ISSUE THAT WAS SIGNIFICANT. I MEAN, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY WHY THAT LAND HAS BEEN SITTING THERE FOR SO MANY YEARS. WE WERE WORKING VERY WELL AND VERY CLOSELY WITH WILL GUERIN, AND WILL WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL, TRANSPARENT AND ENCOURAGING TO US WITH RESPECT TO THE AVAILABILITY OF TREE MITIGATION REBATES, BECAUSE I THINK UP TO THAT POINT IN TIME, HISTORICALLY, THERE HAD BEEN REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS THE ABILITY TO GET SOME CREDITS BACK, AND WE WERE COUNTING ON IT, FRANKLY, BECAUSE THAT WAS SUCH A SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL ISSUE AND COST PROBLEM THAT I WAS IT WAS ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PRELIMINARY PROCESS. BUT IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET OUR ARMS AROUND THE TREE SITUATION THAT WE HAD TO CLOSE PRIOR TO KNOWING WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THAT TREE MITIGATION CALCULATION AND CREDITS AND CALIPER CHARGES AND SO FORTH. WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A FINAL RESULT. SO WE FINALLY GOT TO THAT POINT, AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF COMMISSIONER BASS, WE GOT A BAD NUMBER AND IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN WHAT WE WERE EXPECTING. AND ON TOP OF WILL LEAVING. SO WE LOST THAT TRANSPARENCY. WE LOST THAT COMMUNICATION. WE LOST THAT THAT SUPPORT. IT KIND OF FELL INTO A BLACK HOLE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GET ANY COMMUNICATION WITH ANYBODY ELSE TO GET A RESPONSE, TO EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR ISSUE WAS AND GET THE HELP THAT WE NEEDED TO GET SOME SUPPORT BACK TOWARDS WHERE WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE. AND IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SOME ADDITIONAL TURNOVER WITH SOME PEOPLE THAT WE WERE COMMUNICATING WITH AND THOUGHT WE WERE MAKING SOME HEADWAY AND THEN THEY WERE GONE.

[00:45:01]

SO IT JUST WAS ONE THING THAT LED TO ANOTHER. AND THEN TO MAKE IT EVEN WORSE, MY CIVIL ENGINEER THAT I'VE DONE BUSINESS WITH FOR 30 YEARS, UPWARDS OF 75 PROJECTS OVER ALL THOSE YEARS, GOOD CIVIL ENGINEER, BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME. J.J. OUR ENGINEERING OUT OF IRVING. YOUR TREE MITIGATION PROGRAM OR RULES AND REGULATIONS CHANGED IN 23 AND HE DIDN'T CATCH IT. SO HE WAS ENCOURAGING ME THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS THAT HE THOUGHT WITH THE TREES THAT WERE ADDING AND THE TREES THAT WERE KEEPING AND GETTING CREDITS FOR THAT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT WASN'T GOING TO BE TOO BAD. SO I HAD TO TRUST IN THAT. SO I TRUSTED WILL. I TRUSTED MY CIVIL ENGINEER, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT DIDN'T WORK IN OUR FAVOR. SO WE GET ALMOST A $400,000 TAB THAT WE WEREN'T EXPECTING OR HOPEFUL OF. AND I'M HERE TO RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT I GET A 50% REBATE ON THAT $390,000 NUMBER, AND IT WILL HELP US GREATLY BECAUSE WE'RE WE'RE FIGHTING COSTS, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. YOU KNOW, THE STEEL COSTS ARE ARE NOT GOING DOWN. THEY'RE ONLY GOING UP. AND THE PRODUCT THAT WE BUILD IN THE GARAGES IS A DISCRETIONARY PRODUCT THAT YOU I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THAT. AND WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP IT AFFORDABLE AND WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PRICES, STAYING AT A NUMBER WHERE WE KNOW WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL AND WE CAN CONVEY THESE GARAGES AND THESE UNITS TO OUR USERS BECAUSE THEY WANT THEM, BUT THEY'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THEM. SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF ECONOMICS. AND I JUST REALLY HOPE THAT YOU CAN SEE THROUGH TO APPROVE A 50% REBATE, BECAUSE THAT'S HALF OF WHAT WE WERE HOPEFUL OF, AND IT'S REALLY NEEDED. AND I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT COOPERATION IF THERE'S ANY WAY POSSIBLE. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SIR. YOU'RE STILL IN THE QUEUE. COUNT. COMMISSIONER CALLED YOU COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU. MAYOR. YOU MESSED ME UP. YEAH, HE'S A COUNCILMAN. BUT YOU PLANTED COMMISSIONER IN MY HEAD.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE ME A DIFFERENT NAME TAG, I GUESS. MAYBEO. MR. GANS, THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. AND, YES, THIS IS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA AT 25%, 25% REBATE OF TREE MITIGATION FEE. AND I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THAT AND VOTE INDIVIDUALLY ON THIS ITEM FOR IT TO BE 50%. OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SPEAKER? COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE SPEAKER, BUT FOR COUNCILMAN BASS, I HEARD YOUR MOTION, BUT ARE THERE ANY OTHER FACTORS THAT COME INTO PLAY TO SUPPORT YOUR MOTION? ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES YOU BEAR BECAUSE YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS BUSINESS? CAN YOU ARE THERE ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH US ABOUT THIS INDUSTRY, THIS, THAT WOULD THAT WOULD HELP US UNDERSTAND THE PRESENTATION? WELL, AS FAR AS THE EXACT ITEM IS CONCERNED, AS MR. GANN SAID, THE AMOUNT OF THE TREE MITIGATION WAS MORE THAN WHAT THEY HAD PLANNED FOR IN THIS PARTICULAR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. GARAGES OF AMERICA IS GOING TO BRING A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF DISPOSABLE INCOME TO NORTH GARLAND. THESE GARAGES ARE. THEY'RE FOR EXOTIC CARS. SO AND I FORGET HOW MANY UNITS THERE ARE, BUT THERE'S 72 UNITS. I THINK EACH ONE OF THOSE IS GOING TO BE REPRESENT A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE TO AFFORD THE KIND OF CARS THAT THEY STORE HERE. SO IT IS GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL ECONOMIC BOON TO NORTH GARLAND. I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO, Y YOU KN, THEY'RE GOING TO VISIT FIREWHEEL TOWN CENTER, THEY'RE GOING TO VISIT FIREWHEEL GOLF, THEY'RE GOING TO VISIT THE RESTAURANTS UP AND DOWN GEORGE BUSH. IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE A GREAT ECONOMIC BOON TO THE CITY. AND, YOU KNOW, AND BRING IN BRING IN A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WE DON'T PREVIOUSLY HAVE HERE IN GARLAND.

DO THEY SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER? AND ARE YOU SAYING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO VISIT OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES WHEN THEY BRING BRING THE CARS TO BE STORED TO BE OR. ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE. ABSOLUTELY.

BECAUSE IT KIND OF OPERATES LIKE A CAR CLUB TO THE GUYS, THE GUYS HANG OUT THERE ON THE WEEKENDS AND VISIT WITH EACH OTHER. I MEAN, IF YOU'VE GOT A CLASSIC, YOU KNOW, A CLASSIC, YOU KNOW, HALF MILLION DOLLAR PORSCHE, YOU WANT TO HANG OUT WITH OTHER GUYS WHO HAVE THE SAME KIND OF PASSION THAT YOU HAVE. SO THEY DO. THEY TEND TO FLOCK THERE AND HANG OUT AND YEAH, AND YOU KNOW,

[00:50:01]

THEY'LL BE STAYING IN THE AREA AND SPENDING THEIR MONEY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY PLEASURE. SIR. YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? WELL, I AGREE WITH WHAT HE JUST SAID.

YEAH, LET'S LET'S LEAVE IT AT THAT. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU FOR COMING. FIRST OF ALL, YOU, SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, YOU KNOW, MY AVERSION TO STORAGE BUILDING. SO THAT HASN'T CHANGED. BUT I DO WITH THE $380,000 PRICE TAG FOR THE TREE MITIGATION FUND. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT $5,277 PER UNIT IF THERE ARE 72 UNITS, AND IF THESE ARE BEING SOLD TO MULTI-MILLIONAIRES. I'M JUST I'M CURIOUS WHY $5,200 IS GOING TO MAKE OR BREAK THE DEAL, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE ONLY ECONOMIC PROBLEM THAT WE'RE FIGHTING. IT'S JUST ONE LAYER OF MANY. AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR TEN YEARS NOW. WE'VE BUILT AND SOLD ALMOST 800 GARAGES, AND THE PRICE TAG THAT THESE ARE GETTING TO BECAUSE OF COSTS ARE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THEY'RE NOT BECOMING AFFORDABLE, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THESE PEOPLE HAVE WEALTH AND THEY HAVE A CAR COLLECTION, THEY'RE ALSO VERY FRUGAL IN HOW THEY SPEND THEIR MONEY. AND THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO PAY SO MUCH. SO OUR VELOCITY OF SALES HAS SLOWED DOWN TREMENDOUSLY BECAUSE WE'VE GONE UP $100 A FOOT IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS. AND WE JUST CONTINUE TO FIGHT THESE BATTLES. SO I HAVE TO FIGHT EVERY WE'RE VALUE ENGINEERING THESE BUILDINGS TO MAKE THEM STAY AFFORDABLE. IF THEY KEEP GOING UP, WE'RE NOT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO STOP BECAUSE THESE GUYS WILL ONLY PAY SO MUCH. AND THESE UNITS ARE FOR SALE. CORRECT? THEY WOULD BE OWNER OCCUPIED BASICALLY. ALL OF THEM. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE'VE CLEARED THE QUEUE AND I KNOW YOU'VE GOT A MOTION STANDING, BUT I WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK. DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? MADAM SECRETARY? YES WE DO. ALL RIGHT. PLEASE CALL OUR FIRST SPEAKER. THANK YOU, SIR WILLIAM WARBURTON. YES, MAYOR. YES. I'M SORRY. JUST BEFORE THE SPEAKER, I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THIS IS STRICTLY AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE VOTE THAT YOU ALL ARE GOING TO BE CONSIDERING TONIGHT. AND SO ALTHOUGH THE SPEAKER CAN SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS TO FROM THE PODIUM, YOU ALL ARE GOING TO BE RESTRICTED TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND NOT THE LAND USE PORTION OF ANY RESPONSE TO THE SPEAKER. ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR THE SPEAKER? OKAY, CORRECT. THANK YOU. SIR. IF YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. MY NAME IS WILLIAM WARBURTON AND I LIVE AT 1017 CARRIAGE HOUSE LANE. I'M IN GARLAND, TEXAS, AND IT MAY LOOK LIKE ZOMBIES DESTROYED IT, BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY JUST GARLAND. OR ANOTHER MORE LOCAL NICKNAME FOR GARLAND IS GARLAND. THE REPUTATION OF THIS CITY FOR THOSE WHO LIVE HERE IS THAT PEOPLE LIKE GARLAND, MYSELF INCLUDED. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS YOU STEP BEYOND THE CITY, THE REPUTATION IS ONE OF DERISION, AND A BIG SOURCE OF THAT IS THE LANDSCAPE OF USED AUTO DEALERS, AUTO REPAIR, CAR WASHES AND OTHER AUTO INFRASTRUCTURE. DRIVE DOWN SOUTH GARLAND ROAD AND UNT THE NUMBER OF AUTO DEALERSHIPS. DRIVE DOWN FOREST.

DRIVE DOWN BROADWAY. VISIT FIRST AND LAVON. VISIT WALNUT, VISIT CENTERVILLE, VISIT BELTLINE AND DO THE SAME. AND LAVON IS AS CLOSE TO THE CITY CENTER AS WE GET, AS WE GET, AND IT SHOULD BE FULL OF VIBRANT AND DIVERSE BUSINESSES. BUT INSTEAD IT'S DOMINATED BY AUTO USE.

ADDITIONALLY, SELF STORAGE IS SIMILARLY PREVALENT IN GARLAND, AND NOT DOING GARLAND'S IMAGES ANY FAVORS. WHILE NOT AS NUMEROUS AS THE AUTO RETAIL, IT IS GARISH AND UNSIGHTLY, PARTICULARLY AS IT AGES. WE'VE ALL SEEN OLD SELF STORAGE. IT'S GROSS. WE HAVE AN ENORMOUS SELF STORAGE SITE ALONG THE TOLLWAY, MARKING THE ENTRANCE TO THE CITY, WITH A HUGE SIGN DOMINATING THE HORIZON. GARLAND SELF STORAGE, BLOTTING OUT A MUCH NICER STRIKE AND REEL. HOW CHARMING. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH STICKY INFLATION NATIONWIDE THAT IS ONLY JUST NOW BEGUN TO COOL, AND A MAJOR DRIVER OF THIS INFLATION HAS BEEN HOUSING COSTS. HOME PRICES HAVE SURGED 47% SINCE 2020. DALLAS AREA RENTS HAVE GONE UP 21% SINCE 2020, DCAD SAYS. MY HOME HAS INCREASED BY 100 K, Y'ALL 2020 WAS LESS THAN FIVE YEARS AGO.

THESE COSTS ARE NOT AFFORDABLE FOR YOUNG RESIDENTS, THEY'RE NOT AFFORDABLE FOR YOUNG FAMILIES, AND THEY'RE NOT AFFORDABLE FOR THOSE TRYING TO START A FAMILY. NATIONAL DISCOURSE AROUND INFLATION ASIDE, A VERY REAL DRIVER OF INFLATION, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO HOUSING, IS BAD DECISION MAKING AT THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL. REGARDING LAND USE. LOOK AT WHAT'S SURROUNDING THIS PROPERTY. THERE'S A NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NEXT TO THIS. THERE ARE TWO SCHOOLS RIGHT NEXT TO THIS.

THERE'S RETAIL IN THE FORM OF RESTAURANTS, GROCERY STORES AND OTHER PEOPLE FRIENDLY AMENITIES.

NEARBY. FIREWHEEL IS ONE EXIT AWAY. THIS IS A BAD USE OF LAND. AND I HEARD YOU. I WANT TO SAY I HEARD YOU. I'M AWARE. I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THIS. THIS IS A BAD USE OF LAND WHEN A NEIGHBORHOOD RIPE FOR EXPANSION IS RIGHT THERE. ALMOST ALL OF THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES ARE STUFFED TO THE BRIM WITH CAR RETAIL, AND THIS PROPOSAL NOW WANTS TO INCENTIVIZE DOING THIS ALONG THE TOLLWAY. AGAIN, FOR 82 UNITS, IT'S JUST 82. GARLAND HAS FOCUSED ON DESTINATION

[00:55:05]

DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. WE'RE WIDENING NAME IN SCHOOL WITH THE 2019 BOND PROJECT. WE REDEVELOPED DOWNTOWN FOR FAMILIES. WE'VE IMPROVED SO MANY PARKS THROUGH THAT SAME 2019 BOND. GARLAND'S PATHWAY TO SUCCESS IS TWO MAJOR STRATEGIC FOCUSES AND VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMERCIAL CENTERS AND GROWING GARLAND'S ECONOMIC BASE. THIS IS NOT GOING TO REVITALIZE THE NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS. FAMILIES AND KIDS WILL NOT USE THIS. THIS IS NOT GOING TO ENHANCE THE IMPAIRMENT APPEARANCE OF GARLAND'S ENVIRONMENT, AND WILL NOT FOSTER ANY GARLAND VIBES AS OUTLINED IN GARLAND'S PATHWAY TO SUCCESS. THIS IS NOT A VISITOR DESTINATION. IT IS 82 UNITS THAT WILL BE USED TO MAYBE ONCE A WEEK. 82 WOW. AND IT'S CONDO STYLE OWNERSHIP. LOOK AT CONDOS IN THEIR HOMES AROUND THE CITY. THEY'RE FALLING APART. I STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS INCENTIVE AGREEMENT, AS I DID NOW WHEN I LEFT A COMMENT IN 2023, IF THIS DEVELOPMENT HITS 33 MILLION, THEIR TOTAL TAX BURDEN WILL BE $750,000 A YEAR, FAR LESS THAN THE 190 K ONE TIME COST. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE TREE MITIGATION FEE REDUCTION IS SO CRITICAL, BECAUSE IF IT WAS, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY. ALL WE'RE DOING IS PADDING THE PROFITS OF A COMPANY THAT IS ALREADY VERY SUCCESSFUL. I OPPOSE THIS, I OPPOSE THE TERRIBLE LAND USE, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING, BUT I AND I THINK THIS RUNS ENTIRELY AGAINST THE I NEED YOU TO SUM UP FOR PEOPLE AND NOT CARS. WE NEED HOUSING FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS. WE NEED RETAIL AND BUSINESSES THAT WILL BE DESTINATIONS AND HAVE HIGH FOOT TRAFFIC. WE NEED SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS AND WE DON'T NEED TO INCENTIVIZE IT. SORRY FOR GOING OVER. I CUT OUT A LOT. YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST PERSON. SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME COMING DOWN. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. THAT'S MY JOB YOU'RE TAKING YOU'RE TAKING MY LINES. SORRY. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME, MR. MAYOR. WELL, I HOPE IT'S NOT YOUR LAST TIME. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SPEAKER? I SEE NONE, THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS? I THINK WE GAINED ONE, MADAM SECRETARY. YES WE DO. LINDSAY FOGELMAN. SORRY, MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED. ALL RIGHT. DOES THIS ONE MORE. OKAY, SIR? THIS MICROPHONE. YES, RIGHT HERE AT THE PODIUM. IF YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES. SURELY. THANK YOU. ALBERT PALMER, 2906 CLUB HILL DRIVE, GARLAND, TEXAS. DID NOT COME HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM WHATSOEVER. I HAVE A COLLECTOR CAR, BUT MINE IS QUITE COMFORTABLE IN MY OWN GARAGE AND IT'S NOT QUALIFIED FOR THAT.

ANYHOW, MY CONCERN IS DO NOT OVERESTIMATE HOW MUCH MONEY IS GOING TO BE SPENT BY THESE FOLKS DURING THE TIME PERIOD THAT YOU'RE HERE IN GARLAND. THEY'RE MORE THAN WILLING TO BRING THEIR CAR AND PARK IT HERE IN OUR LAND. BUT DON'T OVERESTIMATE AS YOU CREATE ALL OF YOUR NUMBERS, HOW MUCH THEY'RE GOING TO WAIT AND SPEND HERE IN GARLAND, TEXAS FOR FURTHER REVENUE FOR THE CITY. BECAUSE I'M VERY DOUBTFUL THAT THERE WILL BE MUCH OF THAT. THEY WILL PARK THEIR CAR AND THEY MAY NOT PUT OUT THIS COLLECTOR CAR, BUT ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR. AND AGAIN, I'VE BEEN IN THE COLLECTOR CAR, BUT NOT AT THAT LEVEL. AND I'M JUST I'M CONCERNED THAT WHAT WE GET BACK MAY NOT BE ALL THAT WE AND I MENTIONED, MR. MORRIS DISTRICT. I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE US INVEST AND THEN NOT GET BACK OUT. WHAT? IT APPEARS THAT YOU MIGHT BE. SO THAT'S MY COMMENT.

BE REAL CAREFUL WITH THIS. THANK YOU SIR, I HAVE NO ONE IN THE QUEUE FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM OR SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? SORRY.

NO, SIR. VERY GOOD. LET'S SEE. AND JUST A CLARIFICATION COUNCIL, WE DID DISCUSS THIS PREVIOUSLY AND WE HAD AT THAT. AT THAT TIME THE MAJORITY HAD GONE WITH 25%. AND COUNCILMEMBER BASS, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A YOU HAVE MADE A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND RESTATE YOUR MOTION SINCE IT'S BEEN A FEW MINUTES. THANK YOU. MAYOR. YES, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR ZONING CASE 2441, WHICH IS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA AT 25%. MY MOTION IS TO CHANGE THAT TO 50% TREE MITIGATION FEE REBATE. OKAY. MOTION IS MOTION IS TO. AND JUST A CLARIFICATION, WHEN THIS ITEM WAS POSTED IT WAS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED AT 25%. IT WAS POSTED AT 50%. SO THAT IS A CORRECTION THAT WILL NEED TO BE MADE. BUT THE MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BASS AND SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK IS TO IS TO BRING THE TREE MITIGATION REBATE TO 50%. ALL RIGHT. HANG ON. ANY

[01:00:15]

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? SEEING NONE. MADAM SECRETARY, IF YOU COMPARE THE VOTE FOR US, PLEASE.

THE MOTION IS TO INCREASE TO 50%. AND DISPLAY THE VOTE. THE MOTION TO INCREASE THE MITIGATION REBATE TO 50% PREVAILS WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS WILLIAMS, LUCHT AND DUTTON IN OPPOSITION. THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THIS IS THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW WHERE THE CONSENT AGENDA IS TAKING US OVER AN HOUR. SO NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. MADAM SECRETARY, IF YOU COULD COVER THE SPEAKER REGULATIONS FOR ME, PLEASE. NOT THAT EVERYBODY HASN'T SPOKEN ALREADY. YES, SIR. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IS GIVEN TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY RATHER THAN TO QUESTION THE CITY COUNCIL OR STAFF. THE CHAIR MAY CALL SPEAKER OUT OF ORDER IF THE SPEAKER PRESENTS QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION THAT WILL UNDULY DELAY THE TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS AT THE MEETING, SPEAKER SHALL BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK ON A FIRST COME, FIRST TO SPEAK BASIS, AS DETERMINED BY THE ORDER IN WHICH THE CITY SECRETARY RECEIVES THE SPEAKER'S INFORMATION.

APPLICANTS ARE ALLOWED TEN MINUTES FOR PRESENTATIONS, AND ALL OTHER SPEAKERS WILL BE ALLOWED THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. WHEN THE PODIUM BUZZER SOUNDS, THE SPEAKER MUST END THEIR

Council considered this item at the March 3, 2025 Work Session and the March 4, 2025 Regular Meeting. ]

COMMENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THE FIRST ITEM UNDER THIS SECTION, ITEM SEVEN HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS. ITEM SEVEN A CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE FOR THE LEVYING OF ASSESSMENTS FOR THE SCHOOL STREET ALLEY PETITION PROJECT, LOCATED BEHIND THEHE ADDRESSES OF 401, 405 AND 409 SCHOOL STREET IN DISTRICT EIGHT. MR. BELICHICK, GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. THIS EVENING. I KNOW THAT WE COVERED THIS BACK ON MARCH 3RD. I GAVE THE COUNCIL A PRESENTATION ON THIS ALLEY PETITION AND KIND OF EDUCATED THE COUNCIL A LITTLE BIT. IT'S BEEN A NUMBER OF YEARS SINCE WE'VE HAD ONE OF THESE THAT HAS BEEN RETURNED. AND WHAT I'M HERE TO DO THIS EVENING, THERE ARE CERTAIN ITEMS THAT THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS DURING A PUBLIC HEARING, AND I WILL BE PRESENTING THOSE THIS EVENING SO THAT THE CITY STAYS IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW AS WELL AS ITS OWN CHARTER. SO I'VE GOT A LIST HERE THAT I'M GOING TO GO DOWN AND MAKE SURE THAT I DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING OUT, AND THEN WE'LL GET TO THE END OF IT.

AND I THINK THAT'LL THAT'LL BE ALL I HAVE TO SAY THIS EVENING. THIS, THIS PETITION WAS INITIATED BY PROPERTY OWNER AS PROPERTY OWNER INITIATED BY MISS YESENIA MORALES AT 409 SCHOOL STREET. THE CITY PREPARED A COST ESTIMATE THAT IS BASED OFF OF OUR OUR TERM CONCRETE CONTRACT.

AND THIS IS THE OPINION OF PROBABLE COST. IT INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION, INCLUDES CONTINGENCY AS WELL AS ENGINEERING DESIGN. THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THIS IS A TEN FOOT WIDE ALLEY TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY'S TECHNICAL STANDARDS, BEHIND THE ADDRESSES OF 401 TO 409 SCHOOL STREET, AND WILL BE CONTIGUOUS BETWEEN COLLEGE AVENUE AND WALNUT STREET. SECOND ITEM HERE, STAFF CALCULATED THE COST PER LINEAR FOOT, WHICH IS $127.80 PER COST SHARE. AS THE COUNCIL MAYRD REMEMBER, I BRIEFED YOU THAT THIS IS LIMITED TO ONE THIRD FOR THE FOR THE COST ON THIS ALLEY, EACH PROPERTY OWNER WAS LIMITED TO THE ONE THIRD COST SHARE ESTABLISHED PER THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES. THIS INFORMATION IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE ATTACHED ORDINANCE IN THE COUNCIL PACKET. UPON FILING THE ESTIMATES, THE CITY COUNCIL PROVIDED FOR AND ORDERED A PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD AT THIS EVENING'S COUNCIL MEETING. THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING WAS DULY TIMELY AND PROPERLY GIVEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 313 OF THE TEXAS TRANSPORTATION CODE, AS AMENDED. THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING WAS PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER ON THREE DAYS PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING. THE DATES WERE FEBRUARY 21ST, FEBRUARY 28TH, AND MARCH 7TH. A NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING WAS ALSO MAILED BYERTIFIED MAIL TO ALL RESPECTIVE PARTIES ABUTTING THE IMPROVEMENTS AND INCLUDED ON THE ASSESSMENT ROLLS IN THIS PUBLIC NOTICE WAS MAILED OUT 14 DAYS PRIOR TO TONIGHT'S PUBLIC HEARING. THE CITY HIRED. EXCUSE ME. BY LAW, THE CITY MAY NOT LEVY ASSESSMENTS THAT EXCEED THE ENHANCED VALUE OF THE PROPERTIES ING ASSESSED. SO THE CITY ACTUALLY HIRED AN INDEPENDENT APPRAISER, MR. MARK SADLER, WITH BBG REAL ESTATE SERVICES, TO PERFORM AN APPRAISAL OF THE

[01:05:04]

ENHANCEMENTS FOR EACH PROPERTY. TWO OF THE THREE PROPERTIES, 401 NINE SCHOOL, 401 SCHOOL STREET, AND 409 SCHOOL STREET. ENHANCEMENTS WERE VALUED AT A LESSER AMOUNT THAN THE ORIGINAL CALCULATED ESTIMATE ASSESSMENT. USING THE OPINION OF PROBABLE COST. THUS, THE ASSESSMENTS WERE REDUCED. THE ORIGINAL ASSESSMENT FOR THESE TWO PROPERTIES IS CROSSED THROUGH ON THE FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLE THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU. FOR 401 SCHOOL STREET, THE ORIGINAL ASSESSMENT WAS $10,224.27 FROM THE ENHANCEMENT STUDY. IT WAS CAPPED AT $8,000. 409 SCHOOL STREET.

THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT WAS CALCULATED AT $7,987.71, AND FROM THE ENHANCEMENT STUDY IT WAS CAPPED AT 7500. THE ADDRESS AT 405 SCHOOL STREET. THE ENHANCEMENT STUDY CAME BACK ABOVE THE CALCULATED VALUE, SO THE CALCULATED VALUE IN THIS CASE THE $7,987.71 PREVAILS. AND SO THIS WOULD BE A TOTAL ASSESSMENT ROLL TOTALING $23,487.71 BETWEEN THE THREE PROPERTY OWNERS. MR. MARK SADLER IS AVAILABLE THIS EVENING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE ENHANCEMENT STUDIES FOR EACH PROPERTY, AND AT THIS TIME, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE COUNCIL ADOPT THE ORDINANCE FOR LEVYING OF ASSESSMENTS FOR THE SCHOOL STREET ALLEY PROJECT AS PRESENTED. VERY GOOD, MR. BELICHICK. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE FULFILLED YOUR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND NOW I'VE GOT TO FULFILL MINE. SO I'D LIKE TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I'M SORRY, COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS, YOU HAD A QUESTION. I'M SORRY I DIDN'T.

QUESTION FOR MICHAEL. MICHAEL. SORRY, COUNCILMAN. I DIDN'T SEE YOU POP IN THE QUEUE. YES, SIR.

BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF TONIGHT, ANY FEEDBACK FROM ANY OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS? IF SO, WHAT WAS IT? THE ONLY. THE ONLY PROPERTY OWNER I'VE ACTUALLY SPOKEN WITH IS MISS MORALES. AND AGAIN, AS I WAS STATING AT THE MARCH 3RD, ALL THREE PROPERTY OWNERS, THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PETITIONS THAT EVER CAME BACK UNANIMOUS. ALL THREE PROPERTY OWNERS SIGNED THE PETITION WITH THE ORIGINAL VALUES THAT WE HAD BEFORE. THEY WERE BEFORE THE ENHANCEMENT. SO THEY'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT TO PAY THE AMOUNT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROCESSED. SO I WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE EAGER TO HAVE THIS. THE PETITION WAS ACTUALLY RETURNED WITHIN 3 OR 4 DAYS AFTER I MAILED IT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER. WT WAS THE CONVERSATION WITH THAT ONE THAT YOU SAID? YOU SAID SHE'S VERY EXCITED ABOUT TRYING TO GET THIS ALLEY PAVED. YES, SIR. SO SHE IS FOR THIS? YES, SIR. AND SHE SUPPORTS IT? YES, SIR. AND BASED ON YOUR NUMBERS, YOU'VE GOT UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FROM THE RESIDENTS. YES, SIR. SUPPORT WHAT? THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE TONIGHT. YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU SIR. COUNCILOR OTT, THIS IS IN YOUR DISTRICT, SIR. WELL, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THIS IS EXCITING. A ALLEY, A NEW ALLEY IN DISTRICT EIGHT. SO I ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT THIS AND WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WE PASS THIS. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM SEVEN A FROM COUNCIL MEMBER OTT WITH A SECOND BY DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM LUCK. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. MADAM SECRETARY, PREPARE THE VOTE FOR US, PLEASE. COUNCIL AND DISPLAY THE VOTE. AND THIS ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. WHEREVER

MICHAEL WENT. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM SEVEN B GARLAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, GDC AMENDMENT 20 5-03. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I DO NOT HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THIS ONE BECAUSE THIS WAS KIND OF BROUGHT OUT BY THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES COMMITTEE. THERE WAS A REPORT OUT TO COUNCIL AT THAT TIME. WE KIND OF DISCUSSED THE MERITS OF THIS COMMERCIAL AND ANTENNA COMMERCIAL USE RELATED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT. I'LL GO OVER THE GIST OF IT ONE MORE TIME. SO RIGHT NOW IN OUR GDC, WE HAVE A DISTANCE REQUIREMENT FOR COMMERCIAL ANTENNAS. AND IT'S 5000FT. SO IT SAYS FREESTANDING COMMERCIAL ANTENNA SUPPORT STRUCTURES MUST BE A MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 5000FT FROM ANOTHER WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS ANTENNA. WITH THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW TECHNOLOGY CHANGED THE NEED FOR THESE ANTENNAS, THEIR LOOKS AND EVERYTHING HAVE EVOLVED. SO THE PROPOSAL IS TO REMOVE THAT REQUIREMENT. HOWEVER, REQUIRE

THIS SITE IS LOCATED AT 977 WEST CENTERVILLE ROAD, SUITE SIX, IN DISTRICT FIVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAYOR. HERE WE HAVE THE REQUEST OUTLINE, BUT YOU HAVE ALREADY READ OUT THE REQUEST. THIS PROPERTY IS ZONED PD 7615. SO VERY OLD PD, BUT ESSENTIALLY WITH THE BASE ZONING OF COMMUNITY RETAIL, AS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN, WE HAVE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE 256FT■S.

SO THE SUP COULD BE LIMITED TO THAT WORK AREA BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO APPLY TO THE ENTIRE SUITE, BECAUSE IN OUR CONDITIONS, WE CAN LIMIT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THEIR BUSINESS. HERE WE HAVE THE LOCATION MAP. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS AREA IS ZONED A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH THE BASE ZONING OF COMMUNITY RETAIL. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SURROUNDING AREAS THERE SEVERAL. THERE'S A MIX. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF USES. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT. THERE IS THERE ARE SEVERAL APARTMENTS AND A LITTLE FURTHER GOING UP NORTH. THERE ARE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES AS WELL, AND THE OTHER USES ARE PERSONAL SERVICES, RETAIL, OFFICE. SO AND THE REASON I BRING IT UP BECAUSE IN OUR GDC WE HAVE A PROVISION THAT A TATTOO SLASH BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENT CANNOT BE WITHIN 500FT OF DAYCARE, SCHOOLS, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, SO ON AND SO FORTH, AND OTHER PLACE OF WORSHIP, OTHER SENSITIVE USES. THIS IS IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY. JUST BY A LOOK OF IT, IT MAY FEEL LIKE, HEY, IT IS WITHIN 500FT. BUT THE GDC ALSO GIVES US VERY SPECIFIC GUIDANCE ON HOW TO MEASURE THAT 500FT. SO IT GOES FROM THE FRONT DOOR, YOU GO STRAIGHT TO THE STREET AND THAT'S HOW YOU MEASURE IT. SO THAT'S WHY IT DOESN'T QUITE MEET THE 500FT CRITERIA. HOWEVER, IT IS IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY. SO WE DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A COMPATIBLE USE WITH ITS SURROUNDING AREAS. HERE WE HAVE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS AREA AS COMMUNITY CENTERS. AND AGAIN COMMUNITY CENTERS. THE WAY WE ENVISION IT, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BRING IN BUSINESSES AND USES THAT CAN CREATE DESTINATIONS, THAT CAN CREATE PLACEMAKING. WE DON'T TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE USES THATAT CAN ENCOURE THAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE WANT. HERE WE HAVE THE SITE PHOTO. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CENTRAL PARK NAIL BAR SALON, THAT'S THE ENTIRE SUITE. AND WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING IS TO HAVE A LEASE AREA OR WORK AREA WITHIN THAT SALON. HERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER SITE PHOTOS OF THAT GENERAL DEVELOPMENT AREA. HERE'S THE CONCEPT PLAN. AND AGAIN THIS IS REALLY POINTING OUT THE EXISTING SHOPPING CENTE. AND WHERE IN THAT SHOPPING CENTER THIS BUSINESS IS GOING IS BEING PROPOSED. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS DENIAL. AS WE MENTIONED, IT DOESN'T WE DON'T CONSIDER IT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE DON'T CONSIDER IT TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING USES. PLAN. COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THREE YEARS, BUT THEY RESTRICTED THE. IN THEIR RECOMMENDATION, THEY RESTRICTED THE HOURS OF OPERATION FROM 10 A.M. TO 6 P.M. MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. WE HAVE

[01:15:01]

I HAVE A 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE INDUSTRY INDUSTRY OF TATTOOING. I USED TO HAVE MY TATTOO SHOP IN DALLAS FOR 12 YEARS, BUT RIGHT NOW, ALL THE WHOLE BUILDING IS GOING TO CLOSING DOWN. THEY'RE GOING TO CLOSING DOWN TO DEMOLITION. AND I HAVE TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER PLACE TO KEEP GOING. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ALL I GOTOR ME, FOR MY FAMILY. AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE IN GARLAND. I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE TATTOO. IT'S ABOUT THE MEANING BEHIND THE TATTOO. YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY. ANYONE.

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? THREE MINUTES. LINDSEY FOGLEMAN, 1330 SURREY COURT. I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK BRIEFLY IN FAVOR OF THE TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING SHOP. IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY, VERY SMALL STUDIO AT THE BACK OF A NAIL SALON, IT LOOKS LIKE. AND AS THE THEY MENTIONED, IT'S WELL WITHIN THAT 500FT. IT MAY BE NEAR, BUT I FEEL LIKE IF WE'RE DICTATING WHAT YOU'RE USING YOUR SPACE FOR WHEN IT FALLS WITHIN THOSE GUIDELINES, JUST BECAUSE IT'S NEAR THE GUIDELINE, I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO REJECT THAT. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TATTOO PARLORS HERE. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AGAINST THEM. I THINK IT'S KIND OF AN ARCHAIC VIEW. PERSONALLY. IT'S MUCH MORE OF AN ART FORM THESE DAYS AND MORE WIDELY ACCEPTED. BUT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WEREN'T ANY RESIDENTS NEARBY THAT SPOKE OUT AGAINST IT. SO IT'S NOT MY JURISDICTION DISTRICT. SO I WOULDN'T SAY. BUT IF IT WAS NEAR ME AND IT IS NOT A DIRECTLY

[01:20:05]

ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL LIKE I WOULD SPEAK IN FAVOR OF IT. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[b. Consider a request by Nayeb Management, LLC, proposing a Specific Use Provision (SUP) for a Tattoo/Body Piercing Establishment. The site is located at 1350 Northwest Highway, Suite 107, in District 5. Consider and take appropriate action on the application of Nayeb Management, LLC, requesting approval of 1) a Specific Use Provision for a Tattooing/Body Piercing Establishment Use on a property zoned Planned Development (PD) District 82-59 and 2) a Concept Plan for a Tattooing/Body Piercing Establishment Use. The site is located at 1350 Northwest Highway, Suite 107. (District 5) (File Z 24-29)]

B CONSIDER REQUESTS BY NATIVE MANAGEMENT LLC PROPOSING A SPECIFIC USE PROVISION FOR A TATTOO BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENT. THIS SITE IS LOCATED AT 1350 NORTHWEST HIGHWAY, S SUITE 107, IN DISTRIT FIVE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AGAIN. THIS IS AN SUP REQUEST FOR A TATTOO SLASH BODY PIERCRCG ESTABLISHMENT ON PROPERTY ZONED. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 82 DASH 59 WITH A BASE ZONING DISTRICT OF COMMUNITY RETAIL. I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PARTICULAR BUSINESS WHO HAVE APPLIED, WHO HAS APPLIED FOR THE SUP. SO ACCORDING TO THE APPLICANT, THIS BUSINESS IS PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON MEDAL TATTOO THINGS THAT ARE DONE FOR CANCER PATIENTS OR OTHER ISSUES WITH DISCOLORATION OF SKIN TO KIND OF TREAT IT FROM A MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE AND NOT FROM A RECREATIONAL PERSPECTIVE. SO THERE WERE SOME CONVERSATIONS REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT THAT THIS BUSINESS SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A TATTOO SLASH BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENT. SO WE WENT BACK AND WE DID SOME RESEARCH. WE SPOKE WITH OUR BUILDING INSPECTION DEPARTMENT WHO ISSUES THIS CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR BUSINESSES AND FOR THEIR PERSPECTIVE. THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN TRACK THE PERCENTAGE OF BUSINESS LIKE HOW MUCH OF THE BUSINESS IS BEING GEARED TOWARD MEDICAL TATTOO VERSUS RECREATIONAL TATTOO. SO BECAUSE THEY ALSO HAVE THE COMPONENT OF RECREATIONAL TATTOO, WE WOULD STILL NEED TO CLASSIFY IT AS A TATTOO SLASH BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENT. THE OTHER POINT IS THE SUP IS BEING REQUESTED FOR THE USE AND NOT THE USER. SO IF GRANTED, ANY OTHER TATTOO BUSINESS CAN COME IN AND OPERATE OUT OF THAT OUT OF THAT SUITE, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY NOT BE GEARED TOWARD MEDICAL TATTOO. SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. HAD THEY BEEN 100% MEDICAL TATTOO, THEN WE DO HAVE A CATEGORY. WE DO HAVE A DEFINITION FOR PERMANENT COSMETICS. AND THOSE USES CAN BE CLASSIFIED UNDER PERSONAL SERVICES. BUT SINCE THAT'S NOT THE CASE FOR THIS BUSINESS, UNFORTUNATELY WE WEREN'T ABLE TO CLASSIFY THEM AS SUCH. AND THEY HAD TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A TATTOO SLASH BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENT. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS IN DISTRICT FIVE. AGAIN, IT IS A WHOLE SUITE 1048FT■S SUITE WITHIN A SHOPPING CENTER.

THE ZONING IS AGAIN AN OLD PD WITH COMMUNITY RETAIL BASE. AS YOU CAN SEE, A VARIETY OF USES

[01:25:07]

AND BUSINESSES AROUND THIS SHOPPING CENTER AS WELL. DIRECTLY ACROSS THIS BUSINESS TO THE NORTH, THERE IS A DAYCARE FACILITY. TO THE SOUTH THERE ARE APARTMENTS AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, SO THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT THE 500FT RULE. THIS TECHNICALLY DOES NOT IS NOT WITHIN 500FT. BUT THIS IS AGAIN IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY. SO WE DO NOT NECESSARILY THINK THIS IS A COMPLEMENTARY USE FOR THAT LOCATION. WE HAVE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT IDENTIFIES THIS AREA AS COMMUNITY CENTERS. AND AGAIN THESE COMMUNITY CENTERS ARE GEARED TOWARD DESTINATION PLACE MAKING. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN THAT CATEGORY. AND WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT CONTRIBUTES POSITIVELY TOWARD THAT. HERE ARE SOME SITE PHOTOS THAT WE HAVE OF THAT SHOPPING CENTER FROM THE STREET. THERE'S A ZONING SIGN, THE LIME GREEN COLOR, JUST DIFFERENT ANGLES OF THE SITE. THE CONCEPT PLAN IN THIS CASE, AGAIN, IS THE LAYOUT OF THE EXISTING SHOPPING CENTER.

AND IT IDENTIFIES AND OUTLINES IN RED WHERE THE PROPOSED USE IS PLANNING TO GO AGAIN. STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS DENIAL PLAN. COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR FIVE YEARS. THEY IN THEIR RECOMMENDATION, THEY AGAIN RESTRICTED THE HOURS OF OPERATION FROM 8 A.M. TO 5 P.M.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, AND ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THEY PUT SOME KIND OF ADDITIONAL SCREENING FOR THE WORK AREA SO THAT IT CANNOT BE SEEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, AND THE RESPONSE LETTERS. WE HAVE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 13, I BELIEVE, AND. FIVE OF THEM ARE AGAINST FROM WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA, AND SEVEN OF THEM ARE AGAINST FROM OUTSIDE OF THE NOTIFICATION AREA. AND THERE'S ONE IN FAVOR WHICH IS FROM OUTSIDE OF THE NOTIFICATION AREA. AND IF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO READ THEM, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU DID, BUT THE LETTERS DID MENTION SOME OF THE VERY THINGS THAT STAFF HAD PUT PUT IN THE STAFF REPORT. THEY DO NOT FEEL LIKE THIS IS A COMPLEMENTARY USE.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO NECESSARILY BRING ANY REVITALIZATION TO THE AREA. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A DESIRABLE USE BY THOSE RESINTS. AND ALSO, ONE LETTER DID POINT OUT THAT THERE IS A DAYCARE CENTER RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. WITH THAT, I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. VERY GOOD QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM. COUNCILMEMBER BASS. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. NABILA. QUESTION I HAVE IS ABOUT THE OKAY, YOU MENTIONED THAT THAT THEY DO SOME COSMETIC AS WELL. OKAY. WAS THE APPLICANT AWARE THAT BY OFFERING A STANDARD TATTOO SERVICE IN ADDITION TO THE MEDICAL, THAT THAT WAS GOING TO AFFECT HOW WE CATEGORIZE IT? THEY'RE AWARE OKAY. THEY'RE AWARE, OKAY. SO THEY'RE AWARE THAT IF THEY DID JUST THE COSMETIC THAT IT WOULD BE. I'M SORRY. HOW DID YOU SAY WE WOULD CATEGORIZE IT. PERSONAL SERVICES. PERSONAL SERVICES WOULD BE THE CATEGORY. IF IT'S 100% MEDICAL TATTOO OKAY. AND THEY WERE AWARE THAT BY THE OF THOSE DIFFERENCES, THEY ARE OKAY. BUT ACCORDING TO THEM AND THE APPLICANTS HERE AND THEY HAVE A PRESENTATION, I'M GOING TO PULL IT UP HERE IN A SECOND. BUT THEIR BUSINESS MODEL STILL INCLUDES THE RECREATIONAL TATTOO. SO THAT'S WHY THEY STILL NEED THIS SUV. OKAY. AWESOME. NO MORE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM. SO IF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT WERE DESIGNATED PERSONAL, MEANING 100% MEDICAL TATTOOS, WOULD THAT BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT? THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT. CORRECT. THEY WOULD NOT NEED AN SEP. THEY WOULD NOT NEED AN S. YUP. HAD IT BEEN 100% MEDICAL PURPOSES. THANK YOU. YEAH. VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE. AND I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE. MADAM SECRETARY, YOU CALLED HIM FORWARD PLEASE. YES. CYNTHIA. OLD LADY. YES. SORRY. THE FORMAT IS A LITTLE BROKEN UP, BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL HERE. OKAY. AND I WILL ASK YOU TO GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND AS THE APPLICANT, YOU WILL HAVE TEN MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION OR ANSWER QUESTIONS. OKAY. MY NAME IS CYNTHIA OLALDE. I AM AT 2741 STONE RIDGE DRIVE, CARLIN, TEXAS 75044. THE FIRST THING I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS, YEAH, WHEN YOU HEAR TATTOO PIERCING, THE FIRST THING YOU THINK IS THE PARLORS, RIGHT? BUT WE DON'T DO PIERCING.

WE FOCUS ON WE DO LIKE HEALING. WE RESTORE OUR CLIENTS. WE RESTORE THEIR THEIR FOR THEM TO

[01:30:13]

BE CONFIDENT, FOR THEM TO HAVE THEIR CONFIDENCE BACK WITH, YOU KNOW, AFTER WE GIVE BIRTH, WE HAVE THOSE STRETCH MARKS. WE CAN'T WEAR THE BIKINI OR THE BATHING SUIT. SO WE HAVE A LOT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF SORRY, I SAY PATIENCE, A LOT OF CLIENTS THAT COME IN LIKE THAT. WE ALSO WORK WITH OUR BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS. THERE IS WHENEVER THEY COME IN BECAUSE OF HOW WE DO OUR TATTOOING, WE CAN HELP THEM RESTORE THEIR THEIR BREASTS. BUT WITH WITH ART, INCLUDING SOME WE'VE DONE SOME DEFORMITIES OR SKIN DISCOLORATION. THEY COME IN AND IT'S NOT JUST A TATTOO SHOP, IT'S WE GIVE PEOPLE THEIR CONFIDENCE BACK. AND IF YOU WOULD SEE OUR CLIENTS WHEN THEY COME IN AS WHEN THEY LEAVE, WE HAVE TESTIMONIES, WE HAVE STORIES. WE ARE OPEN FROM 8 TO 5. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE THERE NIGHT TIME OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO YEAH, AGAIN, WE ARE FOCUSED AND WE CAN'T GO JUST MEDICAL BECAUSE WE STILL DO ART TATTOO. WE HAVE AN ARTIST, A GREAT ARTIST, AND THERE'S PEOPLE THAT COME IN AND IT'S AN EMOTIONAL TATTOO THAT WE GIVE THEM. SO HERE'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR MEDICAL TATTOO SERVICES. MEDICAL TATTOO SERVICES ACCOUNT FOR 68% OF TOTAL DEMAND, REINFORCING INC HEALING REALISTIC COLOR TATTOO COMMITMENT TO ESTHETIC AND CORRECTIVE RESTORATION. BUT THEN AGAIN, WE HAVE THAT OTHER PERCENTAGE TO WHERE THEY WANT TO COME. AND I HAVE A TATTOO. I MY DOG PASSED AWAY AND I GOT HIS FACE ON MY LEG, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S JUST IT'S HEALING WHETHER IT'S TO COVER SOMETHING UP OR IT'S AN EMOTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ON OUR BODIES FOREVER. I KNOW IT IS CLOSE TO CLOSE, BUT NOT WITHIN THE 500FT OF THE DAYCARE. AND WE'LL BE OPEN FROM 8 TO 5. BUT OUR OUR DOORS WILL BE ALWAYS LOCKED. AND WE DO CARRY OURSELVES AS A BUSINESS, NOT A TATTOO PARLOR PER SE. SO YEAH, THIS IS ALL I WANTED TO SAY. AGAIN, THE CLIENTELE CONSISTS OF 58% MALE, 42 FEMALE. IT DEMONSTRATES A CONSTANT AND STABLE DEMAND ACROSS BOTH SEGMENTS. I FEEL THAT WE WOULD BE A GOOD CONTRIBUTION TO MY CITY. I L LIVE HERE AGAIN BECAUE WE CAN. WE ACCEPT EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY, AND ONCE PEOPLE HEAR THAT WE ARE HERE IN THE CITY, NOT JUST AS AN ART ARTIST OR AN ART TATTOO, BUT THAT WE WORK WITH, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS. I MEAN, WE GO OUT TO THE MEDICAL PRACTICES, WE PARTICIPATE IN THEIR WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR WHAT IS IT CALLED? I WENT BLANK, THEIR HEALTH FAIRS. WE ATTEND THOSE HEALTH FAIRS.

AND BECAUSE IT'S DEPRESSING WHEN YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR BODY AND WHEN YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN BODY. AND IF WE CAN HELP MY CITY FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEIR BODY, I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE STRIVE FOR. WE ARE RIGHT NOW LOCATED IN PLANO, BUT THE ARTIST JUST MOVED TO GARLAND AND, YOU KNOW, WE ARE WE ALREADY HAVE AN ESTABLISHMENT THERE AND WE WANT TO MOVE IT TO HERE AS WELL. SO I DON'T KNOW. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. I THINK I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, COUNCILMEMBER DUTTON. HI. SO I SAW ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT YOU DO APPLICATIONS LIKE THAT. YOU WERE YOU HAVE APPLICATIONS FOR PEOPLE WANTING TO COME IN AND GET ART OR GET INK. IT SAYS A PROJECT APPLICATION. SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE LIKE FOR EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO COME IN, LIKE, DO YOU HAVE TO APPROVE APPLICATIONS? HOW DOES THAT PROCESS WORK? SO YES, SO WE HAVE THE APPLICATIONS. THE REASON FOR THAT IS YEAH, WE HAVE TO APPROVE IT. WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT IS IT THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. THE ARTIST HAS TO EVALUATE THE WORK THAT THE CLIENT WANTS. AND HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE. AND THEN HE DISCUSSES WITH THE CLIENT, DEPENDING WHAT IS IT THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT HE IS DOING IS EXACTLY WHAT THE CLIENT WANTS, AND THAT THE CLIENT IS SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT, OKAY. AND DO YOU KNOW A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF HOW MANY ART

[01:35:07]

PIECES VERSUS. THE OTHER TYPE OF LIKE THE IT'S ABOUT LAST TIME I SAID 75, BUT IT WAS IT'S ABOUT MAYBE. 6040 AROUND THERE 60 WHERE WE DO THE MEDICAL AND THEN 40 THE ART BECAUSE ALSO SO IT VARIES. LIKE SHE SAID, YOU REALLY CAN'T PUT A NUMBER ON WHAT'S MEDICAL AND WHAT'S NOT BECAUSE SOMEBODY COMES IN AND THEY SAY, OH, I WANT TO COVER THIS SCAR, BUT I WANT A PICTURE LIKE I WANT ART ON IT, YOU KNOW? SO HE INCLUDES THE, THE SCARRING TO MAKE IT INTO THE DESIGN. HE HAS REALLY COOL ONES. 3DS WITH SCARRING. I ALSO JUST WANT T SAY THAT I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE IT SAYS MANIFESTING EMOTIONAL TRAUMA INTO PHYSICAL PAIN. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY LIKE, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT. AS SOMEONE COVERED IN TATTOOS, I GET IT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS FOR US. OF COURSE. OKAY. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM, SO I OWNED A DENTAL LAB FOR 20 YEARS, AND MY SPECIALTY WAS LIKE MATCHING ONE TOOTH TO ALL OF THE REST OF THEM. AND FOR SOMEONE WHO HAD A DISCOLORED TOOTH, LIKE WHEN THEY SMILE, IT WAS LIFE CHANGING FOR THEM. SO I ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND THE JOY THAT YOU GET FROM PERFORMING THAT ON PEOPLE AND THE JOY THAT THEY GET. AND IT'S JUST IT'S WONDERFUL. AND I ABSOLUTELY RESPECT THE SERVICES THAT YOU PROVIDE, THE WHOLE GAMUT FROM MEDICAL SERVICES TO TATTOOING SERVICES.

UNFORTUNATELY, I, I PERSONALLY WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE THE MEDICAL SERVICES IN THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION, BUT I DO WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I THINK WHAT YOU DO FOR PEOPLE IS AMAZING, AMAZING. AND I THINK YOU REALLY HELP SAVE LIVES IN IN THAT RESPECT. SO THANK YOU. CAN I ANSWER THAT REAL QUICK? SO WE WOULD IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, PERSAL THE MEDICAL. BUT AGAIN THAT SOMETIMES INCLUDES ART. SO I WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO WE I YOU KNOW I SPOKE TO MATTHEW, HE WAS THE ONE WORKING WITH ME. AND I SAID, HEY, IF WE NEED TO GO THAT ROUTE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE WE'LL DO IT. BUT HE SAID, UNFORTUNATELY, WE CANNOT DO THAT BECAUSE YOU STILL PERFORM ART.

AND I COULD SIT HERE AND ARGUE ALL DAY. YES, IT'S ART, BUT WHEN WE'RE COVERING A SCAR, WHAT ELSE CAN WE COVER IT WITH? DO THEY DO THEY? DOES YOUR ARTIST EVER DO ANY NON COSMETIC THINGS? LIKE IS THERE JUST A TATTOO? MY DOG. HE DID MY DOG RIGHT. SO. SO THAT IS TATTOOING ALSO. AND I DOES DO THEIR THEIR IT'S ABOUT IT'S YOU KNOW WE HAVE I COULD SAY IT'S MORE MEDICAL OR MORE EMOTIONAL WHICH IS STILL CONSIDERED MEDICAL BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DEPRESSED IT'S MEDICAL. RIGHT.

AND SOMETIMES YOU FININD HEALING WHEN YOU HAVE THE PICTURE OF THE PERSON THAT YOU LOST AND YOU CARRY THAT PICTURE ON YOU. THAT IS CONSIDERED MEDICAL BECAUSE WE ARE HEALING YOUR SADNESS OR, YOU KNOW, THEY COME IN AND THEY ASK FOR THE ANXIETY OR, YOU KNOW, SO THAT THAT'S ALSO CONSIDERED MEDICAL. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO I DO I DO UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM. AND LIKE I SAID, I REALLY DO RESPECT YOUR WHAT YOU ALL DO IN YOUR, IN YOUR STUDIO. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, MA'AM.

COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS, GOOD EVENING. HI. I'M HERE, I FOUND YOU. I'M EMPATHETIC WITH WITH YOUR DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU DO AND YOUR DOGGIE TATTOO, ALL OF THAT. BUT I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. ONE.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. COUNCILMEMBER DUTTON, SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, I THINK THAT WE ALL HEAR TATTOO AND WE THINK LIKE YOU WALK INTO NEON LIGHTS WITH FLASH ART ON THE WALL. FROM WHAT I'M SEEING ONLINE, THAT'S THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY WHAT YOUR, YOUR LOCATION WOULD BE. SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY IF, IF WHAT I'M THINKING IS CORRECT OR NOT, IT'S NOT NEON LIGHTS AND FLASH ART ON THE WALL 100%. IT DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE A MORE STERILE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT. VERY MUCH STERILE. YES. THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS, YOU POPPED BACK UP, BUT I THINK THAT WAS COUNCILMEMBER BASS. THANK YOU. MAYOR.

I WOULD VOTE THAT YOU'RE IN FAVOR. MOSTLY BECAUSE. SO MY AUNT IS A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR. SHE HAD A MASTECTOMY, AND THE FIRST THING THAT SHE DID, SHE COULD NOT AFFORD A BREAST IMPLANT. SO THE THING THAT SHE DID WAS GET A TATTOO TO COVER IT UP. AND BEING IN HEALTHCARE, THE FIRST THING THAT I SEE, I SEE A LOT OF MY PATIENTS THAT HAVE TATTOOS THAT HAVE MEDICAL PURPOSES. THEY HAVE A LOT OF THINGS THAT LIKE COVER UP THEIR SCARS. SORRY IF I GET EMOTIONAL. THEY HAVE A LOT OF SCARRING. SO THEY THE FIRST THING THAT THEY DO IS COVER UP THEIR SCARRING.

[ CITIZEN COMMENTS Members of the audience wishing to address issues not on the meeting agenda may have three minutes to speak. However, according to the Texas Open Meetings Act, Council is prohibited from discussing any item not on the posted agenda.]

THIS MOVES US TO CITIZEN COMMENTS. MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO ADDRESS ISSUES NOT ON THE MEETING AGENDA MAY HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, COUNCIL IS PROHIBITED FROM DISCUSSING ANY ITEM NOT ON THE POSTED AGENDA. I BELIEVE WE HAVE SPEAKER CARDS, MADAM SECRETARY. CALL THEM FORWARD. DAVE BRADY. AND MR. BRADY. I BELIEVE WE CAN MAKE USE OF THE MICROPHONE BESIDE THE PODIUM THERE. YOU CAN PULL IT FORWARD. I THINK. THERE WE GO. IS IT A VEGETABLE, SIR? IT WORKS PERFECTLY. GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. DAVE BRADY, 2101 WEST WAY. GARLAND, 75042. OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. GARLAND CITIZENS. HAVE BEEN PLEASED TO COMMIT THEIR $0.01 SALES TAX TO THE SUPPORT OF DART AND EQUALITY REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORK. AND TODAY, DART IS A TRANSPORTATION SERVICE LEADER WITH OVER 90 MILES OF LIGHT RAIL FACILITIES.

BY YEAR END, 26 MORE MILES WILL BE ADDED WITH THE SILVER LINE CONSTRUCTION. THE COTTON BELT ALIGNMENT WAS A BIG PART OF SERVICE DREAMS OF FORMER MAYOR DON RAINS, SENIOR AND DOCTOR DAN MONAHAN. FORMER BOARD MEMBERS FOR DART, AND THEY WORKED VERY HARD TO HELP CREATE THIS STRONG EAST WEST CONNECTION FOR DART'S RED, GREEN AND BLUE AND ORANGE LINES AND THE HUB AND SPOKE SYSTEM DESIGN. AND GARLAND RIDERS HAVE HAD AN ADVANTAGE WITH EXPRESS BUS SERVICE FROM THE SOUTH, GARLAND AND DOWNTOWN, WHERE THE BLUE LINE MOVEMENT RUNS FROM ROUND TO ROUND OUT.

TODAY, ALL OF THOSE TRANSIT BENEFITS ARE BEING THREATENED TODAY BY THREE BILLS ON THE TABLE IN AUSTIN, A STRONG STATEMENT FROM ALL OF YOU REALLY MUST BE MADE TO KEEP THESE BILLS OFF OF THE FLOOR. ROWLETT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OPPOSED ANY OF THIS ACTION THAT'S BEEN TAKEN FORTH TO TAKE 25% OF THAT SALES TAX DOLLAR AMOUNT AWAY FROM DART, PURE AND SIMPLE. IT'S GOING TO HURT THE TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES FOR WHAT WE HAVE GOING AT SOUTH GARLAND AND RAY HUBBARD TRANSIT CENTER AREA. IT WILL NEGATE THE PROSPECTS OF FUTURE TOD IN THE FOREST JUPITER AREA, BECAUSE THE FUNDS WILL BE DELAYED CONSIDERABLY. AND THEY WOULD BE SERIOUSLY LIMITED FOR THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUTURE. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT WOULD PENALIZE GARLAND RIDERS WHO'VE DEPENDED ON DART FOR MANY YEARS AND COUNTED ON DART SERVICE. CLEARLY, THESE BILLS WILL BE A DISASTER FOR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION ACCESS IN OUR REGION, AND IT'S ESSENTIAL FOR DART'S CONTINUING PLANS TO SUSTAIN THE SERVICE. VOTERS APPROVED IN THREE PREVIOUS ELECTIONS. I CAN UNDERSTAND SOME OF YOUR HESITATION TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE POLITICS OF THIS MATTER, BUT FOR THE SERVICE OF OUR CITIZENS WHO HAVE BEEN

[01:50:04]

DEPENDENT ON DART FOR SO MANY YEARS AND FOR ALL OF OUR FUTURE RIDERS, WHO WOULD BE EVEN MORE DEPENDENT AS THE CONGESTION AND GROWTH OF THE AREA CONTINUES. G BUS WOULD SIMPLY URGE YOU TO SUCK IT UP AND PUT SOME GUTS TO IT AND GET WITH EVERYBODY IN AUSTIN TO PUT AN END TO THIS CONCEPT OF GETTING INTO DART'S POCKETBOOK, THE VOTERS APPROVED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES AND AUTHORITY. PLEASE DON'T DENY WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE. DON'T DENY THE ECONOMIC CAPABILITIES THAT THIS PROVIDES FOR GARLAND IN THE DAYS AHEAD. MR. BRADY, I'M GOING TO NEED YOU TO SUM UP, PLEASE.

PLEASE RETHINK YOUR ATTITUDE AND COME ON STRONG. IF YOU CAN'T DO IT AS A RESOLUTION, CONTACT YOUR PEOPLE INDIVIDUALLY. KEEP GARLAND GOING WITH DART. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. DO WE HAVE ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS, MADAM SECRETARY? YES, RASHAD. HIATUS. WELCOME, SIR. GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES. MY NAME IS RASHAD. CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME? YES. MY NAME IS RASHAD HYDER. I AM LOCATED AT ONE, THREE, SIX LAVON DRIVE. I OWN AUTO CHOICE GARLAND, TX THERE. DEAR MEMBERS OF CITY OF GARLAND, I'M HERE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION AN ONGOING ISSUE BETWEEN MY BUSINESS LOCATED AT 136 LAVON DRIVE AND THE CITY OF GARLAND CODE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT. OVER THE PAST T TWO ARS, MY BUSINESS HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TARGETED AND UNJUSTIFIED, UNJUSTIFIED ENFORCEMENT, RESULTING IN NUMEROUS CITATIONS, ALL OF WHICH HAS BEEN DISMISSED IN COURT. THE HARASSMENT IS DISTURBING MY BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND FORCING ME TO CONSIDER LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE CITY AND THE CODE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT. WHEN I ACQUIRED THIS BUSINESS, THE EXISTING SIGNAGE WAS ALREADY IN PLACECE. THE BUSINESS, THE ONLY MODIFICATIONS THAT I ATTEMPTED TO ADD WAS ILLUMINATED. IT'S CALLED CHINA LETTERING SO THAT WE CAN LIGHT UP, WHICH WAS THE NIGHT RATHER THAN IN CONTESTING THE DECISION. I LOVE THE SIGNS AS THEY WERE A YEAR LATER, A NEIGHBORING BUSINESS WHOM THE OWNER HAS A PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH. THE CITY CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICIAL REPORT REPORTED. MY SIGNS LEADING TO A SERIES OF CITATIONS AND HARASSMENT. SINCE THAT TIME, I RECEIVED 16 CITATIONS, ALL OF WHICH HAVE BEEN DISMISSED IN COURT. WHEN I WENT TO COURT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT, THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CASE. DESPITE DESPITE THIS, THE TARGETING, THE TARGETING CONTINUES. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE RECORDED A VIDEO IN WHICH THE NEIGHBORING BUSINESS OPENLY STATES THAT THEY HAVE CONNECTIONS IN THE CITY AND THEY WILL USE THOSE CONNECTIONS TO SHUT ME DOWN. THIS STRONGLY SUGGESTS THE MISUSE OF AUTHORITY IN AND A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITHIN THE CODE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT. AT THIS POINT, I'M LEFT WITH NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO CONSIDER LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE CITY OF GARLAND, WHICH I TRULY LOVE. AND I'M LEARNING TO ADMIRE THE CITY. IT REALLY IS A GOOD CITY. THE CODE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS UNDUE BURDEN OF MY BUSINESS. I WOULD PREFER TO RESOLVE THIS IN AN AMICABLE MANNER. I AM FORMALLY REQUESTING THE CITY TO PUT AN END TO THIS HARASSMENT AND PROVIDE ME A SEVERANCE SO I CAN CONTINUE MY BUSINESS OPERATIONS WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INTERFERENCE. I ASK FOR YOU TO IMMEDIATELY. I ASK FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER AND PROMPT RESPONSE.
