SO AS MANY KNOW WE HAVE BOTH GIRLS AND BOYS IN BOY SCOUTS THESE DAYS AND YES, YOU'RE STILL GIRLS BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL IN SCHOOL. ENJOY BEING YOUNG. BEING AN ADULT IS NOT AS MUCH FUN AS YOU THINK IT IS WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG. EVERYONE THINKS I WANT TO BE AN ADULT. AND THEY FIND OUT WHAT WORK TAXES AND BILLS ARE LIKE, AND THEY'RE LIKE I'D LIKE TO BE, UH BE YOUNGER AGAIN AND JUST AND JUST BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON SCHOOL AND FRIENDS AND EXTRACURRICULARS. AND SPEAKING OF THAT THESE ARE OUR FIRST TWO EAGLE SCOUTS IN WYLIE WHO HAVE BEEN YOUNG LADIES, SO WE ARE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO HONOR THEM THIS EVENING. BEING AN EAGLE SCOUT IS SOMETHING THAT VERY FEW ATTAIN AND REQUIRES TREMENDOUS DEDICATION, WILLINGNESS TO SERVE . AND INVOLVEMENT IN THEIR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THEIR TRUTH. AND I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT EACH OF THEM AND THEN I'LL GIVE THEM BOTH A CHANCE BECAUSE I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE HAVING THE MICROPHONE. TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO THEM. SO FIRST BRAY, LINDA HALL.IS 14 AND RECENTLY EARNED THE EAGLE SCOUT THROUGH TROOP 18 69 HERE AND WILEY. SHE LOVES SCOUTING. INCLUDING THE OPPORTUNITY IT GIVES FOR YOUTH TO BE ACTIVE TO CONNECT WITH THE OUTDOORS AND TO ESTABLISH HEALTHY PATTERNS OF SERVICE AND SOCIAL OUTREACH. BUT SCOUTING ISN'T ALL THAT SHE DOES. IN ADDITION TO THAT SHE IS THE OLDEST OF THREE SIBLINGS, WHICH I CAN FEEL I'M THE OLDEST OF FOUR, WHICH MEANS WE'VE ALL GOTTEN THE UNFAIR TREATMENT AND THEN WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE OTHER AND YOU UNDERSTAND. BUT SHE'S ALSO A LEADER IN HER CHURCH YOUTH GROUP. SHE HAS COMPETED IN NATIONALS THIS SUMMER WITH BETA. PLAYS BOTH THE PIANO AND FLUTE. AND AS A COMPETITIVE TENNIS PLAYER. I'D SAY YOU LEAD A WELL ROUNDED LIFE. WHEN YOU HAVE TIME TO RELAX. BUT I WILL LET HER TELL YOU MORE ABOUT HER PROJECT IN A MINUTE SO THAT SHE CAN INTRODUCE HER EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT.

HELLO. HELLO UP THERE. HELLO SO MY EAGLE PROJECT THAT I DID WAS I BUILT AND ORGANIZED BRIDGE TO PUT IN THE DISK, THE ENCORE DISC GOLF PARK. AND WHAT WE DID IS I GOT THE CHIP TOGETHER. WE GOT EVERYONE TOGETHER. WE GOT THE SUPPLIES. THEN WE TOOK A DAY LIKE IN THE MORNING TO BUILD THE BRIDGE AND CONSTRUCTED ALTOGETHER AND THEN WE TOOK THE BRIDGE AND TRANSPORTED IT, TRANSPORTED IT OVER TO THE PARK AND THEN PUT IT IN OVER A CREEK AND LITTLE DITCH. SERIOUS AS PEOPLE ARE PLAYING DISC GOLF, IT'S EASIER TO WALK ACROSS AND WERE ACCESSIBLE TO PLAY. MY EAGLE PROJECT WAS TO HOST A PINEWOOD DERBY AT THE SCOTTISH RITE HOSPITAL. UM AND EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF KIDS AT THE SCOTTISH RITE HOSPITAL ARE NOT SICK, NECESSARILY. A LOT OF THEM HAVE PHYSICAL DISABILITIES, AND SO SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THEY CAN'T DO THINGS ON THEIR OWN.
AND SO I WANTED THIS TO BE A CREATIVE OUTLET FOR THEM TO CREATE CARS AND TO JUST HAVE A DAY TO HAVE FUN. AND FOR THOSE THAT COULDN'T CREATE PINEWOOD DERBY CARS ON THEIR OWN. WE PROVIDED EXTRAS FOR THEM. AND THEN ON THE DAY OF THE RACE, WE SET EVERYTHING UP. WE HAD A TRACK AND WE HAD, UM, SNACKS AND PRIZES AND WE JUST HAD A FUN RACE. AND IT WAS. IT WAS REALLY GOOD FOR THE KIDS TO EXPERIENCE. SO WITH THAT I HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR EACH OF YOU.

NORMALLY BY OUR ORDINANCE, WE WILL LOOK AT THIS AS COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT OR RECREATION INSIDE AND WE WILL REQUIRE 47 PARKING SPACES. HOWEVER. THE TYPE OF USE THAT IT IS THAT ITS RESERVATION ONLY THAT THE COURTS ARE RELATIVELY LARGE, UM, THAT THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO PROVIDED SITE PLANS THAT THEY TOOK TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AND THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE THAT HAVE WORKED OUT OK, STAFF FEELS, UM UH, OKAY WITH THE IDEA THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR, UH, KIND OF A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION ABOUT 50% REDUCTION IN THE PARKING DOWN TO 30 ANOTHER, UH, STIPULATION THEY'RE ASKING FOR IN THE S U P AND YOU CAN SEE IT FROM THIS ELEVATION HERE IS NORMALLY A BUILDING IS REQUIRED.

MAYOR PRO TEM THANK YOU, MAYOR. JASON THIS IS GOING TO BE RIGHT ON THE PARKING AREA, ACCORDING TO THE SEVERAL ELEVATIONS THAT WE HAVE. IT'S GOING TO LITERALLY BE ABLE TO SHARE A PARKING LOT WITH ALDY. UM, SO IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT THIS COULD ENCROACH INTO ALL THESE PARKING AND HAS THE PROPERTY OWNER? UM APPROACHED ALL THE FOR A POSSIBLE AH. CROSS PARKING AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S NO HARD FEELINGS BETWEEN THE TWO BUSINESSES, AS OF PNC STAFF HAD RECOMMENDED THAT BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT THEY WERE PARKING OVER AS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, THEY HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT ALL THE YET. BECAUSE OUR FEELING IS THAT YES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY. UM THAT YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE 31 PEOPLE PARK, YOU KNOW, THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOMEBODY PARK IT EITHER IN ALL THE OR POSSIBLY MEINEKE, WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR. SO, UM, THE AFRICAN YOU WANT. TO YOU CAN ADDRESS WHETHER HE'S ACTUALLY GOT IN CONTACT WITH ALL THE OR NOT. HI I'M A MEDICAL TO LIVE AT 13493 LOYAL UNQUOTE FRISCO. UNDER. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET ANY POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM ALL THE YET BUT WE DID TALK TO MEINEKE AND THEY ARE OPEN TO RENT A PARKING SPOT TO US IN THE OFFICE HOURS. SO FOR OUR USE CASE MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE WILL COME TO PLAY AFTER AFTER AFTER OFFICE HOURS, BASICALLY AFTER SIX PM, AND THEY'LL COME BACK FROM WORK. AND MANY KEY HAS AGREED THERE AT LEAST STARTED TALKING TO US, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN RENT OUT SOME SPACE TO STEP PARKING LOT TO US DURING OFF PEAK HOURS WHEN THEY'RE NOT USING IT, AND THAT'S ALL YOU SCARES BASICALLY, AFTER HOURS. HOW MANY STAFF WILL YOU HAVE IT? THE LOCATION. THERE WILL BE ONE FRONT DESK AND WE EXPECT TO START WITH ONE COACH FOR HONESTLY. OKAY IT'S NOT SURE. YES, 11 FROM THIS GUY.
OKAY? THAT'S THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE. THANK YOU. OKAY? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. FROM
[00:35:07]
COUNSELING. FOR EITHER THE APPLICANT OR FOR MR HASKINS, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. MR HASKINS. I MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT EARLIER. AS FAR AS THE COURTS, UM HE SAID. HOW MANY COURTS THERE WAS NINE QUARTZ QUARTZ, AND BASICALLY, IT'S THREE PARKING SPACES PER COURT.AND ARE THEY BIBLE AND. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S JUST, UH BAD MEN. JUST BAD MEN, JUST BAD MAN. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. GO IN IN WYLIE. WHETHER HERE OR SOMEWHERE , I HAVE A CONCERN AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT OF PARKING DIFFERENTIAL, PRIMARILY BECAUSE UM, ONCE THE BUILDING IS BUILT THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT THAT SPACE LATER WILL END UP MEETING OR WANTING TO BE USED FOR, HMM. I THINK THERE'S A PRETTY WHERE IT'S LOCATED. I FEAR THAT THERE IS GOING TO END UP BEING, UM, RETAIL. BUSINESS, POSSIBLY IN THE FUTURE. IN ADDITION, RETAIL BUSINESS THAT THAT WANTS TO MOVE IN THERE. LET ME SAY THAT UM IN THE PARKING IS SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN IT WOULD SUPPORT. IN ADDITION TO HAVING THE CONCERN ABOUT ONCE THEY OPEN THEM AS MAYOR PRO TIM MENTIONED ENCROACHING ON ALL THE AND THOSE AROUND I WOULD WANT TO SEE MYSELF. SOME TYPE OF AGREEMENT IN PLACE. AS A PART OF THE P D. AND THAT GIVES THEM THAT ACCESS TO THAT ADDITIONAL PARKING, UM JUST BECAUSE I FEAR THAT IT'S GOING TO END UP BEING AN ISSUE WHERE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS PARKING. ALWAYS DOING ALWAYS STEP. IT TURNS INTO AN ISSUE FOR THE NEIGHBORING TENANTS. BUT IF IT DOESN'T END UP WORKING IN THIS SPOT BECAUSE I SEE THE ANGLES AND EVERYTHING IT IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY LOST A WHOLE ROW OF PARKING IN THE WAY THAT THAT RAILROAD TRACK IN THAT ANGLE CUTS IN AS FAR AS HAVING TO TURN THAT PARKING SO IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON THIS PLACE. I'D LOVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN SOMEWHERE ELSE. UM, I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THAT PARKING. SO WITH THAT BE OPEN TO OTHER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION MYSELF AND LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN HERE, AND THE TWO OF MY COLLEAGUES HAD MENTIONED THE PARKING UM. AND I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE WAS A REASON. OBVIOUSLY THE PARKING IS KIND OF TILTED ON. I'LL CALL IT THE SOUTH SIDE, THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE PRESENTATION THERE. IS THERE A REASON THAT THAT CAN'T BE, I GUESS FLATTENED OUT MORE. TO ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING THROUGH HIS WHERE ABOVE WHERE IT SAYS PROPOSED CURB INLET. IS THERE A POTENTIAL TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING THERE ON IT? I MEAN, I WOULD I WOULD COUNT 3 TO 43 TO 5 MORE SPOTS. SO. I'M NOT THERE, ENGINEER. BUT I'M GOING TO TAKE A STAB AT WHY, AND THEY CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE BECAUSE THE RAILROAD TRACKS GOES AT AN ANGLE AND THE TOOT NORTH SIDE PARKING SPACES HAVE TO GO AT AN ANGLE IF THEY WERE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THAT PARKING. BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE EAST SIDE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE LESS THAN 24 FT FOR YOUR DRIVEWAY. UM SO THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THEY HAD ANKLE THAT BOTTOM PARKING. UM COULD THEY ADD ANY MORE BEFORE THEY GET TO THE PROPERTY LINE? IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO. BUT THE THING IS, IS IN C C. YOU ALSO HAVE TO HAVE 20% LANDSCAPING. SO ONE OF THE THINGS IF COUNCIL SO DESIRED. WE COULD WORK WITH THEM TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, SEE IF THERE'S ANOTHER PARKING SPACE OR TWO THAT COULD GO IN THERE AND THEN, BUT THEY WOULD BE SHORT LANDSCAPING. OKAY GOING, PATEL TRIANGLE ENGINEERING. 17 80 TO INVEST MCDERMOTT RIVAL IN TEXAS 7.0 AND THREE. YES WE CAN POSSIBLY ADD ONE OR TWO PARKING SPACES, BUT NO MORE THAN THAT, BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH DEPTH OVER THAT, AND AS FAR AS THE LANGUAGE OF THE PARKING GOES, IT'S KIND OF DICTATED BY THE PROPERTY LINE ON THE NORTH SIDE. AH, IF WE TELL THOSE PARKING BACK AT THE CERTAIN ANGLES AND WE'LL LOSE THAT FIRE VIOLENCE SPACE TO 24 TO 20 FT, OR 18 FT, AND THAT DOES NOT COMPLY THAT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THE FIRE REQUIREMENT. AND AS FAR AS THE QUESTION ABOUT THE SHORTAGE OF PARKING WE HAVE DONE ABOUT THREE OR FOUR. THIS SIMILAR TYPE OF FACILITIES IN A MATTER OF BLACKS. ONE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT LEWISVILLE THAT IS THE LOVE JUST ONE IN UNITED STATES THAT HAS A 31 CHORDS. WITH THE PARKING RATIO OF ONE SPACE FOR. WHAT 500 SQUARE FEET? YES. ONE SPACE FOR 500 SQUARE FEET. AND THEY HAVE BEEN IN THAT THAT THAT IS THE THIRD FACILITY
[00:40:01]
IN A MATTER OF BLACKS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR QUITE A WHILE, AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY PROBLEM. AH THERE'S ANOTHER FACILITY IN MCKINNEY. WITH THE SAME BASIS THEY APPROVED. AH ONE SPACE FOR 500 SQUARE FEET AS WELL. THE HOURS OF OPERATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY. PRIMARY HOURS OF OPERATION OF BIG HOURS OF OPERATION IS PROBABLY ABOUT 6 TO 9 OR 10 IN THE EVENING. I THINK THAT'S WHEN MAJORITY OF CUSTOMER COMES IN, AND IT'S A RESERVATION ONLY. SO UH, THE COURTS WILL BE OCCUPIED BASED ON THE RESERVATION THAT IS SEEN NINE QUOTES. ONE STAFF, UH, NINTH QUARTER 27 PARKING SPACES 11 STOP AND ONE COACH, SO THEY HAVE A 30 PARKING SPACES FOR THIS FACILITY. IN OUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS AN ADEQUATE. PARKING SPACE. UH DAYS AND ALWAYS POSSIBILITY OF AN OVERFLOW PARKING AND THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE WHAT THEY ARE. THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK OUT WITH THE MANATEE. THEY DIDN'T GET SUCCESS WITH THE RD SO HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE, THEY EXPLAINED, OR IF THEY HAVE ANY EVENT, I DON'T THINK SO THEY HAVE IN THE HOUSE EVENT BECAUSE IT'S JUST A RESERVATION PLAYING FACILITY. ONLY THEY DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS RESTAURANT IN HOUSE. AH THEY DON'T HAVE THEY DON'T SELL ANY FOOD OR ALCOHOL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO IT'S JUST A COMPLETELY NO TOURNAMENTS.NOTHING. NOTHING LIKE THAT. SO I THINK 2030 PARKING SPACES SHOULD BE ADEQUATE ENOUGH BASED ON OUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES. THANK YOU AND APOLOGIZE. IT MAY NOT BE. YOU MAY BE ONE OF YOUR COLLEAGUES. UM, THAT IS, THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE DISCUSSION WITH MY NICKY.
CORRECT AND SO IS THAT SOMETHING UM, WHERE YOU HAVE SOMETHING WRITTEN FROM THEM THAT IT'S AN AGREEMENT THAT AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CERTAIN TIME THAT OVERFLOW PARKING COULD COME INTO THEIR LOT OR SO I'M GONNA LET HIM ANSWER THAT QUESTION. BECAUSE HE'S I'M I'M JUST AN END. YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND GOING TO LET HIM ON. THANK YOU. YEAH AT THIS POINT, WE JUST HAVE AN EMAIL FROM THEM. SAYING THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED. THEY WILL BE WILLING TO WORK OUT AND DEAL WITH US. AND I CAN SUM IT THIS EMAIL. I GOT A PRINT OUT OF THE EMAIL. WHAT DOES THAT LOST BASICALLY, OKAY? COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. A QUESTION FOR MR HASKINS. MR. HASKINS, UM COULD YOU LIST? UM IN OUR RPG GUIDELINES OR WHATNOT ? WHAT OTHER USES HAVE A 1 TO 500 PARKING, UH, ALLOWANCE. AUTOMOBILE MAJOR. UM. YOU KNOW, LIKE GETTING SPECIFICS. I CAN TELL YOU THIS. IT'S MOSTLY THINGS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS COMING IN AND OUT OF YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME CUSTOMERS, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE A GROCERY STORE OR GENERAL STORE OR A GYM. YOU KNOW ANYTHING LIKE THAT? IT WILL BE THINGS WHERE YOU DON'T EXPECT US. YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT HAVE A LOT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT YOU DON'T SEE EXPECT TO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT OR THE PEOPLE THAT COME IN AND OUT. DON'T USE UP THAT MUCH SPACE BECAUSE I WAS RUNNING THE NUMBERS. THEY WE HAVE FIVE QUARTS. 99 YOU HAD JUST ONE PERSON ON EACH SIDE OF THE COURT. THAT'S 18 PEOPLE. YES. POSSIBLY 18 CARS IN THAT BEFORE ADDING ANY STAFF OR ANYBODY STANDARDS OR ANY OVERFLOW OR POLITICIAN OR ANYTHING. I WILL TELL YOU LIKE HE MENTIONED HOW THEY HAVE ONE EMPLOYEE. AND THEY DID MENTION AT THE P AND Z MEETING THAT THE WAY THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED IN THE COURTS ARE DESIGNED. THERE ISN'T REALLY A LOT OF ROOM FOR BY STANDARDS. THAT MOST OF THE TIME THAT ONLY THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY PLAYING ARE GOING TO BE THERE, AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS ROOM FOR, OKAY? YEAH. YEAH, UM AND YOU SAID THIS PAST PNC. IT WAS WHENEVER THIS WENT TO PANSY. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TO ME. WELL YEAH, IT WAS TWO MEETINGS. WELL IT WAS THE LAST MEETING WE HAD BECAUSE WE DIDN'T. IT WOULDN'T BE HERE IF IT DIDN'T TOUCH. YES, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR. MAYOR PROTEIN. WERE YOU LOOKING TO SPEECH? OKAY. I KNEW I KNEW IT HAD BEEN ON THERE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CALL ON EVERYONE. GO AHEAD, MR COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS CONCERNS UM AND I HAVE TO ASK THE APPLICANT. I'M JUST THROWING THROWING THIS OUT HERE, BUT WE COULD ASK THEM IN MEINEKE TO SIGN SOME KIND OF AGREEMENT. UM LIKE A SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT KIND OF THING, WHICH IS NORMALLY APPROVED BY COUNCIL ANYWAY. MAKE IT AS PART OF THE ORDINANCE. THE ISSUE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEIR THOUGH, IS IT'S ONLY TIED TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS. AND IF EITHER ONE OF THOSE YOU HAVE MEINEKE EVER SELLS, YOU KNOW WHOEVER SIGNS IT AS THE OWNER. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T THINK WE CAN ENFORCE THAT ANY AT AFTER THAT.
SO THE SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT WOULD ONLY BE WITH THE OWNERS WHO ACTUALLY SIGNED THAT SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT. SO IT MIGHT ALLEVIATE CONCERNS TODAY, BUT I'M NOT SURE IT WILL DO ANYTHING IN THE LONG RUN. WHAT ARE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR? UM ALL THE AND THAT PARKING LOT AREA IN THE SENSE OF. GETTING ANYTHING UPFRONT OR DEALING WITH IT AFTER IT'S AN ISSUE. THAT MAKES SENSE.
[00:45:08]
LIKE I MENTIONED I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED THAT THEY HAD SOMETHING FROM ALDY YOU KNOW TO HAVE AND THEY HAVE TRIED, BUT THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY SUCCESS THERE. UM, AS FAR AS UM, F NAZAR GOES ON LATER. UM. IF ALL THE HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT, THEY CAN PUT UP THERE AND, YOU KNOW, TOWING SIGNS AND IF THEY FOLLOW STATE LAW WITH THEIR NO TOWING SIGNS, AND THERE ARE FOLKS PARKED THERE, THEN THEY CAN BE TOWED. WELL IN I WOULD IMAGINE THAT SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE PARKING MIGHT BE GOING IN AND GETTING GROCERIES AND THEN GOING NEXT DOOR AND PLAYING THE WAY THE WASTE ENERGY WORKS. SURE YEAH, THEY GET THAT SPORT SPRINGS OR SOMETHING. THANK YOU.OKAY WELL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO BEFORE WE CONTINUE, I WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM. ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS PRESENT AND WISHES TO STEP FORWARD AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. ASK THAT YOU DO SO AT THIS TIME. OKAY THE STORM. PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT NO ONE HAS STEPPED FORWARD TO SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO WITH THAT I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ON THIS ITEM FOR THE APPLICANT OR FOR MR HASKINS. MR HASKINS. WAS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY? OKAY, YOU STOOD UP, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE SO WITH THAT I WOULD BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE ITEM. COUNCILMAN DO? YES, MR MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. I'D LIKE THE MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A NORTHERN'S APPROVING THE ZONING CHANGE REQUESTED AND BRING IT BACK FOR FINAL CONSIDERATION AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING. OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION AS STATED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND MAYOR PRO TEM? THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'LL SECOND THE MOTION. WE DO HAVE EMOTION WITH THE SECOND COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES FOR ONE WITH COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS OPPOSED AND COUNCILMAN STRING AND MALIKI ABSENT. WITH THAT THAT COMPLETES OUR REGULAR AGENDA FOR THE EVENING. AND WE'LL MOVE US INTO WORK SESSIONS. UM COUNSEL. I WILL GIVE US JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES BREAK HERE. AND IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GET THAT READY AND W
[WS1. Discuss a potential change of zoning from Neighborhood Services to Planned Development (PD-Mixed Use) on approximately 14.24 acres, generally located on the southeast corner of Country Club Road and Park Boulevard.]
WITH THAT. I'LL MOVE US BACK INTO SESSION. WE ARE IN OUR WORK SESSION WORK SESSION NUMBER ONE TONIGHT IS TO DISCUSS A POTENTIAL CHANGE OF ZONING FROM NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT PD MIXED USE ON APPROXIMATELY 14.24 ACRES GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COUNTRY CLUB ROAD AND PARK BOULEVARD. MR HASKINS. THANK YOU, MAYOR, UM, KIND OF COVERED IN THE SUBJECT LINE, SO I'LL BE VERY, VERY BRIEF AND THEN TURN IT OVER TO THE APPLICANTS. THEY HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION THEY'D LIKE TO GIVE BASICALLY, THIS IS A 14.5 ACRES THAT IS ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE COUNTRY CLUB AND PARK. UM THE CURRENT ZONING HIS NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES IN THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. IT IS LOCAL COMMERCIAL. AND DURING THE WORK SESSION THEY HAD WITH P AND Z AS STATED IN YOUR REPORT, PNC DID DISCUSS THE LOT SIZE IS BEING A LITTLE SMALLER THAN WHAT ARE ARE WHAT WE CALL FOR IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, UM, THE ARCHITECTURE, URBAN FIELD OF THE ARCHITECTURE. UM THE POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING WHEN IT BUTTS UP AGAINST THE RESIDENTS TO THE SOUTH AND SOME TO THE EAST. AND, UH, THE THINGS THAT THEY DID, LIKE THE WAS THE OPEN SPACE AND THE AMENITIES AND THE DUAL FACING OF THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, AND THEN HOW THE GAS STATION YOU DIDN'T REALLY SEE THE PUMPS FROM, UM, COUNTRY CLUB. IT WAS SCREENED A LITTLE BIT THE WAY THE GAS STATION WAS PROPOSED GAS STATIONS TURNED UM, AND WITH THAT MAYOR IF IT'S ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER THE DEVELOPER AND LET THEM YES, PLEASE. PEOPLE ARE TEACHERS. MICHAEL LEE, TIM 95, 39 GALWAY DRIVE. DALLAS, TEXAS 75218. UH I AM WITH YOUNGER PARTNERS. I'M NOT NECESSARILY THE DEVELOPER BUT ONE OF THREE REPRESENTATIVES HERE REPRESENTING THE DEVELOPER SO IF WE'VE GOT ANY FAMILIARITY IN PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS, WE'VE TAKEN THIS BEFORE YOU UM, AND SOME OF THE ISSUES THERE HAVE BEEN EITHER IT WAS TOO MUCH RESIDENTIAL. TOO LITTLE OF COMMERCIAL OR JUST NOT THE RIGHT BALANCE. AND SO WE'RE THINKING THIRD TIME'S A CHARM TAKEN NOTE TO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO THE CITY OF WILEY. SO I'M GOING TO SCROLL THROUGH HERE AND SHOW YOU SOME OF THE ELEVATIONS AND SOME OF THE LAYOUT AND CONFIGURATIONS. UH AS IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED, UM. VERY INTENTIONAL, WITH THE OPEN SPACE BEING A CENTRAL FOCAL POINT FOR[00:50:05]
THE DEVELOPMENT. UM WE'VE GOT COMMERCIAL MIXES OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES RESTAURANTS AS WELL AS THE TOWN HOME COMPONENT. BUT REALLY, THE DEVELOPER HAD IN MIND TO BRING SOMETHING, UM THAT WAS OF THE LIKES OF AUSTIN, OUR WATERS CREEK OR CYPRUS. WATER WATER CYPRUS WATERS BUT REALLY HONE IT IN AND CUSTOMIZE IT AND MAKE IT UNIQUE TO WILEY. UM AND SO HERE'S A CENTRAL RESTAURANT IN FRONT OF YOU WITH HAVE SOME UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE THAT WAS, I BELIEVE, TAKEN FROM A EUROPEAN DESIGN, BRINGING IT HERE TO TEXAS. AND SOME OF THE RETAIL COMPONENTS. MORE OF THAT SEMI OPEN SPACE AMPHITHEATER. LOOK MORE THE RETAIL. AND SOME OF THE TOWN HOMES. AND SOME OF THE AMENITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY. UM WITH THAT BEING SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HERE AT A WORK SESSION TO REALLY SEEK YOUR INPUT. WE WANT TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT AND REALLY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT WOULD WORK BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY AS AS WELL AS A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT FOR THE DEVELOPER THAT BEING SAID, WE DO HAVE THE ENGINEERING, ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS PRESENT FOR ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. OKAY I HAD A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS TO START US OFF FOR THE OPEN SPACE. ANOTHER'S POND AND FOUNTAIN FEATURE OR WHATEVER. IT'S TECHNICALLY CALLED WHERE IT BUBBLES UP OUT OF THE GROUND THERE. UM WHO WOULD BE MAINTAINING THAT WITH THAT STAY WITH THE DEVELOPER OR THE PROPERTY OWNERS, SO TO SPEAK. I'LL HAVE TO DEFER TO SURE. MY NAME IS JOHN MARTINI. I'M 3000 CHAIR. LAKE GRAPEVINE, TEXAS. UM YEAH. SO THE. THIS IF YOU LOOK THE POND IN THE FRONT. IS. IT IS MORE DETENTION RIGHT NOW, PLUS THE STREETS GOING TO COME THROUGH THERE. SO IT MAY IT MAY BE MORE DETENTION WILL BE LANDSCAPED AS SUCH, SO IT MIGHT.IT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE LIKE FULL AT THE LEG UNLESS WE CREATE THAT, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT UM, BUT IT'S MORE DETENTION, THEN. BUT IT IS LIKE A FOUNTAIN. OKAY AND IF THE TENSION WOULD IT BE HAVE IF IT IF IT'S PLANNED TO DETENTION AS OPPOSED TO RETENTION, WOULD THAT BE A GOAL TO PUT SOME SORT OF OFFENSE OR SCREENING AROUND IT TO KEEP OH, YEAH. CHILDREN WERE OUT IF IT'S GOING TO BE ADDING RESIDENTIAL, OF COURSE. YEAH. AND THEN FOR THE OTHER COMMON AREA THAT'S IN THE CENTER THERE ASSUME THE POOL WILL BE FOR THE TOWN HOME. YEAH, THE JEWEL'S SO THAT WOULD BE PART OF THEIR H O AGREEMENT ABOUT THE OPEN SPACE, THE AMPHITHEATER STYLE AND AGAIN , THE BUBBLER Z OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THOSE THAT ARE THERE WITH THAT. WHO WOULD WHO WOULD HAVE MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY. WE WOULD OKAY? YES. AND IT'S AND THAT'S REALLY DESTINATION OR NOT, JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN FOR THE COMMERCIAL, BUT IT'S ALSO FOR THE TOWN HOMES AND THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. SO IT'S REALLY AN OPEN CONCEPT FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE. WE WANTED TO BE A DESTINATION FOR PEOPLE TO COME FROM ALL AROUND, NOT JUST FOR THE COMMERCIAL PEOPLE COMING IN OR JUST THAT THE TOWN AND IT'S ALSO FOR THE COMMUNITY. OKAY AND THE TOWN HOMES WILL BE FOR SALE. CORRECT. AND LAST QUESTION, AND THEN I'LL TURN IT OVER TO WHATEVER QUESTIONS MY COLLEAGUES MIGHT HAVE. IT'S OF COURSE VERY HARD TO TELL FROM A RENDERING.
BUT WHAT IS THE PROPOSED PARKING FOR THE TOWN HOMES THEMSELVES? SO THERE'S SOME IN THE FRONT.
AND THEN THERE'S TWO SPACES, GARAGE SPACES FOR EACH OF THE TOWN HOMES, SO THERE'S TWO CARS IN THE IN THE IN THE GARAGE. AND THEN THERE'S SOME. THERE'S SOME FRONT SPACING ON SOME OF THOSE.
I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT RATIO AT THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT BUT WE DO HAVE GARAGES FOR THEM THERE.
OKAY? SO OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS OF LOVE TO GET YOUR ANY QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK THAT YOU ALL HAVE ON THIS, UM, ACTUALLY TO COUNCILMAN DO BEFORE YOU DO, UM OH, GO AHEAD. I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. SO FOR THE GARAGE. UM IS THAT GONNA BE MANDATORY THAT THEY STORE CARD IN A GARAGE OR CAN THEY STORE ANYTHING IN THE GARAGE? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU CAN FORCE PEOPLE TO PARK IN THE GARAGE. UM BUT I HAVEN'T WE HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THAT. LIKE YOU MEAN LIKE CCR OR SOMETHING? WELL LIKE YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE SOMEONE COME IN. THAT HAS A LOT OF STUFF AND THEY DECIDE TO FILTER BROUGHT THIRD GARAGE FULL OF BOXES AND SET OF CARS AND THEY PARK THEIR CAR SPACES. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ENFORCE THAT. THANK YOU. OKAY I'M GONNA ASK MR
[00:55:06]
PARKER. UM I DO BELIEVE ONE OF OUR ABSENT COUNCIL MEMBERS REACHED OUT TO HIM WITH SOME OF HIS THOUGHTS WHO HE DID NOT KNOW IF HE WOULD MAKE IT IN TIME THIS EVENING. BUT SINCE HE HAS THAT FEEDBACK OUT ALLOW MR PARKER TO PROVIDE THAT. SURE UM, AND UNFORTUNATELY, I'M NOT ABLE TO, UH REALLY EXPLAIN MUCH PAST WHAT I CAN STATE BUT BUT THE COMMENT THAT WAS MADE TO ME IS FROM THE TOWN HOMES. IT LOOKS, UH HE FELT FEELS LIKE IT HAS MORE OF AN APARTMENT FIELD. THEN A TOWN HOME FIELD. I GUESS BASED ON THESE RENDERINGS UM IT JUST COMES ACROSS MORE AS A AS AN APARTMENT IN A IN A TOWN HOME FEEL AGAIN. I WISH I COULD EXPAND ON THAT MORE, BUT WE DIDN'T GO INTO ANY GREAT GREAT DEPTH. THE OTHER COMMENT THAT HE MADE WAS AND AGAIN THIS IS JUST YOU KNOW, THERE'S SEVEN OF THEM UP HERE. SO THIS IS JUST HIS HIS FEEDBACK THE GAS STATION. HE WOULD PREFER IT TO BE ANOTHER, UM SOME SORT OF A COMMERCIAL. RETAIL SOMETHING OTHER THAN A GONNA GAS STATION. BUT AGAIN, IT'S JUST A STATEMENT THAT HE MADE AND I'M UNABLE TO EXPAND ON THAT, SO OKAY, BUT I WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT FEEDBACK SINCE HE DID PROVIDE THAT TO ME. OKAY, WE CAN TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. MAYOR PRO TEM THANK YOU, MAYOR. I THINK ONE THING THAT CONCERNS ME IS THE AMOUNT OF PARKING I REALIZED THERE ARE TWO GARAGE SPACES AT EACH LOCATION. BUT I THINK TO COUNCILMAN DUKES. POINT IF HALF THE GARAGE IS FULL OF BELONGINGS , AND YOU GET ONE CAR IN THE GARAGE. WHERE IS THE OTHER ONE GOING TO PARK? UM AND THERE'S NO , IT DOESN'T APPEAR JUST BASED ON THE RENDERING THAT THERE'S ANY DRIVEWAY THAT GOES IN THERE, BUT IT SHARED LARGE. CEMENT AREA WHERE PEOPLE PARDON ME. SWING IN AND OUT OF THE GARAGE IS UM, THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE TOWN HOMES DOESN'T MATCH ANYTHING IN OUR CITY, ESPECIALLY THE HOUSING THAT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO IT, AND THESE PEOPLE IN THE HOUSES AROUND IT HAVE A CONSIDERABLE INVESTMENT IN THEIR HOMES. AND SO AS WE LOOK AT THE TOWN HOMES, THEY REALLY DON'T MATCH. THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE AREA, SO I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I DON'T STAND ALONE IN THAT WE'VE HAD SEVERAL OTHER DEVELOPERS COME IN WITH TOWN HOME PROJECTS, AND THE SAME COMMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE THAT ALTHOUGH THAT MAY LOOK GREAT IN SOME SETTINGS. AH IT'S JUST I THINK IT'S TOO RADICAL TO CHANGE BETWEEN AH, HOUSES TO THE EAST AND THEN LOOKING BACK TO THE SOUTH AND THEN LOOKING BACK AGAINST THE BACK END OF THE TOWN HOMES I'VE HAD. I'M NOT SURE THAT IT FITS. UM I DO LIKE THE OPEN SPACE PLAN. I LIKE THE WAY THE COMMERCIAL LOOKS IN THE RENDERINGS. I AM A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE DETENTION RETENTION POND DISCUSSION BECAUSE IN THESE DRAWINGS SPECIFICALLY ON SLIDE NUMBER 88 THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPED POND. AH, WITH THE WALKING PATH AROUND IT AND SOME BENCHES AROUND IT. AND IF THAT'S GOING TO WIND UP BEING A FENCED IN DETENTION RETENTION THAT IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE BEAUTIFUL WOW LANDSCAPE AROUND THAT AREA, AND I THINK IT WOULD DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL PROJECT ITSELF.UNDERSTOOD OKAY, SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU. MR PARKER. UH APOLOGIZE HIM, STATING THE LOOK OF THOSE BUILDINGS. THAT'S WHAT THE COUNCILMAN UM, DIDN'T MENTION HE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THAT FIT INTO OUR COMMUNITY. UM, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF OTHER AS THE MAYOR PRO TEM STATED A COUPLE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS COME IN WITH, YOU KNOW, LIKE A FLAT ROOF MORE. UM I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL IT. I'M NOT A DEVELOPER, ARCHITECT OR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT UM BY STAUN THE HOMES SURROUNDING IT. THESE HE JUST HE DIDN'T FEEL THAT THESE FIT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I GUESS. SURE I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO INCORPORATE. HERE IS SORT OF THIS WALKABLE COMMUNITY WITHIN SORT OF THE 14 ACRES AND, WELL, WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEHIND AND SO WE'RE SEEKING SOME SOME FEEDBACK FROM THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF INTEREST THEY HAVE OR DISINTERESTED. THEY HAVE SO WE ARE REACHING OUT TO THEM, AND I BELIEVE THAT WITH WITH SORT OF THE CONCEPT OF THE WAY THE TOWN HOUSES LOOK IN THE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK YOU'VE SEEN ANY OTHER UM. RETAIL LIKE THIS COMMERCIAL LIKE THIS, EITHER. AND I THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING QUITE A BIT TO ENHANCED. WHAT
[01:00:05]
WE'RE DOING IN THE 14 ACRES AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BLEND IN AS PEOPLE COME TO THE 14 ACRES IN SUCH THIS WALKABLE TYPE COMMUNITY, AND SO LIKE THE TOWER IS DIFFERENT. THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE HOPE IT WILL CREATE THAT DESTINATION THAT PEOPLE WILL WANT TO COME AND, YOU KNOW, SURE CHANGE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, BUT WE FEEL IT'S A IT'S A POSITIVE CHANGE, AND WE FEEL THAT A GOOD MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WILL APPRECIATE THAT. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MA'AM. UM JUST THIS IS MY OPINION. AND UM SOME OF THOSE I'VE SPOKEN WITH, UM ONE THING THAT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO REMEMBER ON THIS SPECIFIC PROPERTY IS THE AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT THAT THE CITY AND TAXPAYERS HAVE PUT INTO THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEARBY AND ARE CURRENTLY PUTTING IN. I THINK WE'VE GOT A BOND RIGHT NOW. 30, PLUS MILLION 35 OR SO, UM, THAT IS GONNA IMPROVE THAT AREA SURE TO BRING TRAFFIC FROM AND THROUGH AND AROUND, WILEY. SO MY CONCERN IS LOOKING AT THAT PROPERTY FROM ANY RESIDENTIAL ASPECT. UM I DON'T THINK THAT'S A WISE INVESTMENT OF THE TAX DOLLARS. I THINK THAT WHEN THE BIRMINGHAM FARMS COMMUNITY WAS DEVELOPED, PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO, THE CELL THAT THE DEVELOPER DID WAS THAT THAT 14 ACRES WOULD END UP BEING NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES THAT WOULD SERVE THE COMMUNITY AROUND IT. AND BRINGING ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL INTO THAT SAME DEVELOPMENT IS BREAKING THE PROMISE THAT THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER DID WHEN HE BUILT THE ORIGINAL, UH, DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT AROUND THAT AREA. SO I WOULD LOVE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE OUTDOOR I'M FINE WITH IT MYSELF WITH A GAS STATION. I'M FINE WITH ALL OF THAT COMMERCIAL ASPECT. I THINK IT'S GREAT. AND WHAT THAT WHAT THAT PROPERTY IS REALLY FOR. I DON'T. I DON'T THINK THE RESIDENTIAL ON THAT PROPERTY IS A GOOD FIT, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD APPLICATION OF THE TAX DOLLARS FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS FEEDING THAT PROPERTY IN AND AROUND IT.BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. ANY OTHER FEEDBACK THAT WE CAN PROVIDE OR QUESTIONS. AT THIS TIME. SO LET ME ASK YOU THIS, SIR. SO YOU'VE YOU'VE HEARD SOME DIFFERENT COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS FROM DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS. WHAT TYPE OF FEEDBACK WOULD YOU LIKE? I KNOW COUNCILMAN AH WILLIAMS WAS ABLE TO GIVE YOU KIND OF SOME DIRECT FEEDBACK, AND YOU'VE HAD QUESTIONS FROM A FEW OF US IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SEEKING IS JUST KIND OF A DIRECT ANSWER ON YEAH, YEAH. IS THERE A HEALTHY, MORE HEALTHY BALANCE OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL THAT WOULD BE MORE ACCEPTABLE, PERHAPS TO YOU THAT WE COULD CONSIDER, BUT WE'RE WORK. THIS ALSO HAS TO PENCIL AS WELL. YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE NOT BEEN PRIVY TO THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPERS. UM, COMMITMENTS. UM SO I CAN'T SPEAK ON THAT BEHALF OF UM YOU KNOW THE LOOK AND FEEL AGAIN. I THINK IT'S UH I THINK YOU'VE SEEN CHANGE LIKE THIS. I MEAN, IF YOU I MEAN, YOU CAN GO ONTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT YOU KNOW, 10 YEARS AGO, I HAD A THE OLD. THE OLDER LOOK WITH IN THE HOUSING. UM AND I JUST THINK THAT AS AS WE GO ON, THIS CHANGES IS GOING TO HAPPEN, NOT JUST IN YOUR COMMUNITY, BUT THROUGHOUT OTHER COMMUNITIES AS WELL AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND THAT HAPPY BALANCE BETWEEN WHAT'S CURRENT AND SORT OF THE OLD WORLD VERSUS NEW WORLD KIND OF STUFF, AND I THINK THAT THERE MIGHT BE A HEALTHY BALANCE THERE FROM THE LOOKING FIELD, BUT ALSO WHAT WOULD BE MORE CONSIDERABLE FOR YOU ALL IN TERMS OF RESIDENTIAL VERSUS MY OWN OPINION AGAIN. THIS IS JUST MINE. YOU'RE YOU'RE ASKING, UM, MY OWN OPINION IS THAT AS PART BOULEVARD IS EXPANDED, AND THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN AND THE SKY VIEW LOOP IS CONNECTED THAT THE VALUE OF THAT PROPERTY AND A COMMERCIAL TAX BASE. WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE CITIZENS IN SERVICE TO THE YOU KNOW PEOPLE THAT LIVE AROUND THERE AS FAR AS WHAT THIS PROPERTY ZONED FOR RIGHT NOW. NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES. I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH INTEREST AND THERE'S NOT MORE LAND AND MORE CORNERS AND WILEY LIKE THIS. THIS IS THIS IS A THIS IS A VERY, VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY. THAT'S COMING AND I SEE I SEE. UH DEVELOPER LIKE YOURSELF COMING IN, BUT COORDINATING THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND DOING IT AS A P D. THAT HAS A YOU KNOW A COMMERCIAL ASPECT TO IT WITHOUT A RESIDENTIAL ASPECT. UM I DON'T. I REALIZED THAT IN ORDER TO MAKE THE NUMBERS WORK, THE RESIDENTIAL ASPECT MAKES IT REAL QUICK. EASY YES, NOW, BUT I FEEL LIKE THE CITIZENS OF WILEY HAVE WAITED SO LONG ON THIS PROPERTY THEY PUT IN ALL OF THE COUNTRY CLUB EXPANSION GOING BACK 20 YEARS.
[01:05:05]
THEY YOU KNOW, MOVED. TOWN HALL . THEY, YOU KNOW THE AS A AS A COMMUNITY. A LOT HAS BEEN PUT INTO THAT AREA AND I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE PREEMPTIVE TO SAY, WELL, LET'S GO AHEAD AND CHANGE WHAT WE PROMISED. YOU KNOW THE TAXPAYERS BACK WHEN THAT ZONING WAS DONE, LET'S CHANGE THAT AT THE LAST MINUTE, RIGHT BEFORE ALL OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ALL OF THE, UM, YOU KNOW, TAX.YEAH. THAT THE CITIZENS HAVE PUT INTO THAT INFRASTRUCTURE THE YOU KNOW COST. RIGHT BEFORE THAT COMES TO FRUITION, WHERE IT'S REALLY VIABLE FOR THAT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S A GOOD USE OF THE, UM TAXPAYERS, YOU KNOW FUNDS TO SAY, WELL, LET'S CHANGE THAT NOW, NOR DO I THINK IT'S A FAIR PROMISE TO THOSE THAT LIVE DIRECTLY AROUND THERE. SURE SO THAT HELPS THE ANSWER. I'M YOU HEARD FROM HIM ABOUT PREVIOUS AND I'M NOT PRIVY TO THE PREVIOUS OTHER COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS THAT CAME INTO WORK SESSION SO WE CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT, HOWEVER, ABSOLUTELY. AND I WANTED TO POSE THE QUESTION BECAUSE I KNOW THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT COIN IS ENOUGH WORKED IN OTHER MUNICIPALITIES WHERE THEY SAY, WELL, LET'S JUST NOT ENOUGH COMMERCIAL AND THEN THE FEAR THAT THE COUNTER COMMENT AS WELL. WE COULD BRING YOU THAT. BUT THEN IT ENDS UP. YOU END UP HAVING 10 TO 20,000 SQUARE FEET OF UNFILMABLE OR NON ABSORBED COMMERCIALS. SO THE RISK THERE IS HAVING A GHOST LIKE RETAIL CENTER. YOU KNOW, WE BROUGHT ALL THE RETAIL THAT THE CITIZENS OF COUNCIL WANTED, BUT THEN JUST CAN'T FILL IT. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION TO YOU IS IF WE CAN DO A PROPER THOROUGH STUDY WITH A DEMOGRAPHER AND KIND OF PROVE UP PROJECTED DEMAND WOULD THAT BE MORE RECEPTIVE OR RECEIVED IN TERMS OF A CONVERSATION GOING FORWARD TO HELP JUSTIFY THAT BALANCE? OR IS THAT PRETTY MUCH KIND OF SET IN STONE? IF YOU'RE ASKING THAT DIRECTLY, JUST TO ME, I'LL ANSWER ME IN THE LEFT CONSTITUENTS. ANSWER FOR THEM, UH, THEMSELVES. FOR ME. IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A HARD NOW.
IT'S JUST GONNA BE A HARD NO. UM I'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND THAT PROPERTY AND I DON'T KNOW ANY THAT WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THE CHANGE FROM NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES TO HAVING BEEN RESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL. ON THE FENCE LINE. IF THAT HELPS.
PERFECT. THANK YOU. OKAY AND I WOULD HAVE A COUPLE OTHERS. I DO WANT TO ASK MR HASKINS. UM IF HE COULD ANSWER A QUESTION FOR ME UM, I'M TRYING TO PULL IT UP HERE. WHAT IS THE EXISTING LAND USED TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS LOCAL COMMERCIAL, OKAY? I JUST WANTED TO ASK BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT WAS REVIEWED BY A PANEL OF OUR CITIZENS BACK IN LAST YEAR AND CAME THROUGH P NZ AS WELL. SO I JUST WANTED TO CHECK ON THAT. OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE . COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS HAS GIVEN HIS OPINION. UM GOT WHAT FEEDBACK WE COULD FROM COUNCILMAN STRING. UNFORTUNATELY HE AND COUNCILMAN MILITIA YOU'RE NOT HERE THIS EVENING. I'D LIKE TO ASK THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS TO PROVIDE THEIR THEIR FEEDBACK AS BEST THEY CAN. UM MAYOR PROTEIN. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PROVIDE YOURS? SURE I THINK THAT I'VE MADE MY COMMENTS EARLIER IN REGARDS TO LOOK AND FEEL THE PROPERTY. AS FAR AS THE TOWN HOMES ARE CONCERNED, I DO LIKE THE COMMERCIAL ASPECT OF IT. THE WAY IT LOOKS IS THE WAY IT LOOKS LIKE THE FLOW TO IT. I THINK IT WORKS, UM, RETENTION DETENTION PROMISE. STILL AN ISSUE IN MY HEAD. UM THE MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL. UH I THINK THAT AS WE LOOK AT A PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE, IT DOESN'T SEEM BALANCED TO ME. I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN, AND I THINK THAT A DEMOGRAPHER STUDY COULD HELP BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD HELP AT THE END OF THE DAY. I MEAN, IT WOULD WOULD IT SHOW US THAT THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH KIDS TO BALANCE OUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THAT AREA. IS IT GOING TO SHOW US THAT? YES, EVERYBODY WANTS AN APARTMENT OR A TOWN HOME, AND NOBODY WANTS TO BUY A HOUSE OR OR IS IT GOING TO SHOW THAT WE NEED 15 MORE NAIL SALONS, CHICKEN PLACES AND OIL CHANGE HOUSES RIGHT HERE ON THIS CORNER. I DON'T KNOW, BUT I THINK THAT MY ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE COUNCILOR WILLIAMS DID BRING UP A GOOD POINT, WHICH IS THE LOOK AND FEEL. I MEAN, NOT THE LOOK AND FEEL BUT THE TRAFFIC PATTERN IN THIS AREA IS RAPIDLY DEVELOPING AND GOING TO CHANGE VERY QUICKLY. SO I THINK THAT AS WE LOOK AT THAT, UM THE VALUE OF THIS PROPERTY ON A COMMERCIAL HARD CORNER, NOT ONLY TO SERVICE THE HOMES DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO IT, BUT THAT ENTIRE AREA AS IT DEVELOPS IS ANOTHER CONSIDERATION. UM THE OPPOSITE CORNER EXACT OPPOSITE FROM THIS IS A METHODIST CHURCH AND THE ENTIRE WRAPAROUND FROM THAT IS A DEVELOPMENT THAT NEVER STARTED. THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THIS WITH NO COMMERCIAL INVOLVED AT ALL. AND IT WAS A PRE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND THAT IS A SENIOR COMMUNITY THAT HAD STAIR STEPPING FROM SMALL HOMES. TWO APARTMENTS TOO. NURSING OR FULL
[01:10:01]
CARE. SO YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE HARD NOSED ABOUT THE ENTIRE CORNER AREA THERE, BUT I THINK THAT THIS THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE RIGHT PROJECT FOR THIS CORNER. THANK YOU. OKAY? I WILL GO TO COUNCILMAN HOOVER. I'D RATHER SEE IT COMMERCIAL. IF YOU YOU KNOW YOU'RE ON. JUST MOVE A LITTLE CLOSER TO IT OR SPEAK A LITTLE LOUDER. YOU GET TURNED BACK ON AGAIN THERE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE COMMERCIAL THERE. UM THE COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. SAID. THE. THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING INTO THAT AREA. BUT I DO LIKE THE RENDERINGS OF THE COMMERCIAL SIDE OF IT. FROM THAT. I. THIS STICK WITH THE RISK. OKAY? COUNCILMAN DUKE. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. I'LL GO. UM . IN RELATION TO COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. WHAT HE SAID. YOU KNOW THAT THE NEIGHBORS PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT HOUSES IN THAT AREA. THEY WERE PROMISED THAT THAT LAND WOULD BE SOMETHING ELSE. BESIDES TOWN HOMES AND APARTMENTS AND RESIDENTIAL, AND I KNOW YOU'RE NOT TO DEVELOP HER THAT PROMISED THAT BUT THE FACT REMAINS AS THOSE PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT HOUSES THERE. THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS THEY BUT THE HOUSE THERE . WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD THAT AND I ALSO THINK THAT RESIDENTIAL UM. IT'S HARASSMENT IS NOT A GOOD OUTFIT FOR THAT. THAT CORNER. I THINK WE KNOW WHETHER MILDER COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID, IS THAT THAT CORNER IS GOING TO TAKE OFF. UM, PROBABLY THE NEXT 5 10 YEARS AND IT'S GOING TO BE KNOW HOW VALUE REAL ESTATE AND WE NEED SOMETHING COMMERCIALLY. THERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY? AND OBVIOUSLY I HAD SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU EARLIER. UM I DO AGREE FOR ME ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I ALWAYS TRY TO LOOK AT ON THESE PROJECTS IS THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND PLAN. AND IN THIS CASE THAT WAS UPDATED LAST YEAR AND THAT WAS DONE BY A BOARD OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND CITIZENS, NOT BY THE COUNCIL, NOT BY PLANNING AND ZONING. BUT MY ARE ACTUAL CITIZENS AND WHILE DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS WITH THEM HAVING THAT LABELED IN A COMMERCIAL SITE, UM THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WOULD NEVER LOOK AT SOMETHING THAT HAD SOME AMOUNT OF RESIDENTIAL IN IT, DEPENDING ON THE WAY IT WAS SET UP. SOMETIMES THERE'S COMMERCIAL DOWN RESIDENTIAL UP THERE. THERE'S DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT PRIMARILY , I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD REMAIN A COMMERCIAL PRIVATE PROJECT. UM AND JUST KIND OF FROM THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU PROVIDED. UM NOW I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE A DECENT NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN HERE AND SO I DON'T THINK THAT IT WOULD BE THE RIGHT PROJECT FOR THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. SO UM AND OBVIOUSLY. YEAH IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT COULDN'T FIT SOMEWHERE ELSE, EVEN SOMEWHERE ELSE, POTENTIALLY ON. COUNTRY CLUB. THERE ARE DIFFERENT USE DESIGNATIONS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CITY. SO I DON'T AND I'M ECHOING COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS ON THAT.JUST SO THAT YOU KNOW. UM SO AGAIN. I DON'T WANT TO DISCOURAGE. YOU JUST KNOW THAT ON THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY WE HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PROJECTS COME THROUGH EITHER MIXED OR TOWN HOMES. UH AND OUTCRY FROM THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN PRETTY STRONG ON IT ON WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE COMP PLAN, THEN THEN FOLLOWED THAT REQUEST THAT THEY HAD AND SO, UH, AGAIN. I THINK A LOT OF IT LOOKS GREAT. BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS NECESSARILY THE CORRECT PIECE FOR IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO WITH THAT, THAT COMPLETES WORK

REALLY IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET WE'VE OUTLINED IN OUR SAME PACKET WE WOULD TYPICALLY PROVIDE AS PART OF THE OVERALL BUDGET PRESENTATION WITH THE CITY. OUR NARRATIVE, OUR OVERALL DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION AND ON THAT NARRATIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THE ONE CHANGE THAT PROBABLY STOOD OUT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. THERE'S A CHANGE IN PERSONNEL BETWEEN BUDGET FOR 2022 23. 2023 24 AND ON THE NEXT SLIDE IN OUR OVERALL DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION KIND OF FURTHER ARTICULATES THAT, UM ANGEL WIGAN , AS YOU KNOW, IS ARBITRARY DIRECTOR AND SHE HAS JUST UNDER TWO YEARS BEFORE SHE PLANS TO RETIRE, AND IT'S PART OF THAT. WE'VE KNOWN THAT THIS WAS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN. UM PART OF MY GOAL AND OBJECTIVE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND SITTING DOWN WITH OUR BOARD. WHEN I WAS NAMED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ABOUT SAM HAD JASON DO YOU NEED ANOTHER? JASON AND I SAID, NO, ACTUALLY, WHAT WE DO A LOT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIVE WE NEEDED TO DO WAS KIND OF TRAINED FROM WITHIN AND HIRE SOME MINISTRY OF STAFF AND THEN WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS THAT'S AND PROMOTIONS PLANNED THIS NEXT YEAR AS PART OF THIS OVERALL PERSONNEL EXPENSE. THE INCREASE IN HERE THAT YOU SEE THE ADDITIONAL 1.5 EMPLOYEES, ONE OF THEM WOULD BE TO SHADOW AND LEARN THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF BEING POSITIONED THROUGH OUR ORGANIZATION FOR 6 TO 9 MONTHS, REALLY, FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS, THAT PERSON COULD WORK THROUGH THAT POSITION AND THEN HAVE ADEQUATE TIME TO SHADOW ANGEL BEFORE HER DEPARTURE AND WORK THROUGH AN ENTIRE 12 MONTHS OF THOSE EVENTS, SO YOU HAVE THE CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS WE WORK WITH. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WILEY ICED TEA IN COLLEGE COLLEGE. ALL THE PROGRAMS HAVE WORKED FOR WITH WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS IGNORED TEXAS WE ACTUALLY JUST WON ANOTHER AWARD FOR WORKFORCE PARTNER THROUGH KOREAN TECHNICAL EDUCATION. MONICA PAULA WAS NAMED ONE OF CT PRACTITIONERS OF THE YEAR. UM A LOT OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS ARE AGAIN AS YOU KNOW, WE DON'T DO WORKFORCE TRAINING. WE DON'T DO CONSTRUCTION. WE FACILITATE THAT PROCESS OF THE CITY AND WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A DROP OFF IN LEVEL OF SERVICE THROUGH OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES LIKE THE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM WITH RAYTHEON AND THROUGH THE ICE TEA. AS YOU SAW LAST YEAR DURING THE APPRENTICESHIP WEEK. AND THEN ALSO ARE VERY PROGRAMS YOU SEE THROUGH MANUFACTURING DATA AND ALL THE CURRENT TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO ADEQUATELY PLAN THAT OUT THE WAY WE CAN HIRE SOMEBODY THE BEGINNING OF THIS NEXT YEAR AND GET THEM UP TO SPEED IN OUR ORGANIZATION AND ALSO SHADOW ANGEL PERFECTLY. THE OTHER HALF EMPLOYEE IS ACTUALLY OUR INTERN FROM THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE I HIRE HIM AND BRING HIM IN AS A PART TIME EMPLOYEE THAT WOULD BE IN OUR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET IF HE WAS AN INTERN AGAIN THIS YEAR AND THINK ABOUT BRINGING THEM BACK, BUT HE'S ACTUALLY THE PART TIME ROLLS GRADUATED TOP OF HIS CLASS. AND IS TAKING CLASSES TO PURSUE A MASTER'S AND WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING HIM BACK IN. NOT AS AN INTERIM BUT PART TIME EMPLOYEE WHO WANTS TO WORK ABOUT 24 HOURS A WEEK AND WE'D LIKE TO ADD THEM BACK TO OUR BUDGET AND PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF LAST YEAR. OTHER THAN THAT, THAT'S UH REALLY ALL WE HAD FOR PERSONNEL, SOME OF OUR OTHER EXPENSES IN HERE. UM MORE SPECIFICALLY, ARE OUR BIGGEST LINE ITEMS IN OUR BUDGET ARE AS YOU KNOW, INCENTIVES AND QUALIFIED INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. THE BORROWED $8 MILLION TO REFINANCE DEBT, AND THEN WE BORROWED AN EXTRA $8 MILLION TO PUT IN ALL THESE CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR THE VERY END OF THAT. ROAD RIGHT NOW, AND THOSE PROJECTS WILL START AT THE VERY END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.BEGINNING OF NEXT FISCAL YEAR'S MOST OF THAT MONEY. WE HAD YOUR MARKETING EXPENSES LAST YEAR DID NOT GET SPENT THAT'S CARRIED OVER TO THIS NEXT YEAR. THAT MONEY WILL BE SPENT. YOU SEE, AS OUR EXPENSES NEXT YEAR EXCEEDS $16 MILLION. WE GOT WHAT $6.5 MILLION FOR BROWN 78 $2 MILLION BY 44 GATEWAY. YOU GOT $600,000 GAS LINES. WE'VE GOT INCENTIVES IN THERE. YOU GOT THE CLF II INCENTIVE. IF YOU RECALL, WE ARE DOING A REIMBURSEMENT INCENTIVE WITH LOVE. IT WERE RESURFACING
[01:20:02]
AND WHERE THEY ARE RESURFACING AND PAYING FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS FROM TEXTILE IMPROVEMENTS AND AUNTS AND RESURFACING WHERE REIMBURSING THOSE DOWN FOR THOSE EXACT DOLLARS AND. A LOT OF OUR MONEY , AS YOU KNOW, GOES TOWARDS INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND QUALIFIED INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE FORM OF PERFORMANCE AGREEMENTS WHERE WE REIMBURSE THOSE FUNDS BACK TO THOSE PROJECTS. MOST OF THOSE EXPENSES THAT ARE CARRYING FORWARD THE ONLY OTHER REAL BIG INCREASE IN HERE, ADVERTISING AND ENGINEERING ADVERTISING. WE'RE UPPING OUR DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR REGIONAL ADVERTISING, PUTTING SOME AD DOLLARS BEHIND OUR EFFORTS NOT ONLY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY, BUT WE'LL DISCOVER WILEY DOING SOME TARGET WITH THAT'S BEEN TO PROMOTE SOME OF THE EVENTS AND BRING MORE VISITORS SHORT COMMUNITY. AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE LOCATED A COUPLE OF BUSINESSES RECENTLY BRINGING A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM OUT OF TOWN. WE'D LIKE TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT. AND TELL THAT STORY A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. BRING MORE VISITORS HERE INCREASED SELF TAX DOLLARS. ENGINEERING THAT'S THE BIGGEST, REALLY ONE BLIND ITEM IN HERE.THAT IS NOTABLE AND THE CHANGE FROM LAST YEAR THAT IS THE APPROPRIATE SHARE OF THE REMAINING PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE SLATED OF. OF THAT. 595 $130,000 EXPENSE. YOU SEE THERE, 205,000 OF THAT WOULD BE THE FLOOD STUDY FOR THE CITY'S 19 ACRES. THAT COULD BE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE THE ACREAGE HERE JUST EAST OF WHERE WE'RE STANDING TODAY, ALL THE WAY UP TO THAT FLOODPLAIN POND.
I DON'T HAVE A MODIFICATION IN THERE FOR THAT. BUT THAT IS A PLACEHOLDER IF WE CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY'S 19 ACRES, ADJACENT PROPERTY ON 5 44. I HAVE A PLACE TO HOLD HER IN THERE FOR THAT, TOO. OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR EXPENSES OR ANY RECOMMENDED CHANGES IN HERE FOR WHAT YOU SEE OR ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER AND BE HAPPY. EVERY DEAL. OKAY, MR. GREINER I APPRECIATE YOU COMING TO PRESENT THIS EVENING. I JUST WANTED TO ASK. I KNOW IN LOOKING AT THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR, 2024.
YOU'RE ESTIMATING 2.6. LET'S CALL IT A MILLION DOLLARS IN I ASSUME LAND TRANSACTIONS? YES, SIR. IS THERE THE POTENTIAL. TO HAVE ADDITIONAL PARCELS THAT MAY THAT MAY SELL DURING THAT FISCAL YEAR. AND ARE THOSE CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT TO WHERE THEY CAN BE COUNTED ON TO CLOSE. UM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 2.6 MILLION. WE PIN THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN THE BUDGET RIGHT NOW. YES UM, THERE ARE MORE LOTS THAT CAN BE SOLD AS YOU KNOW, THE DELAYING QUALIFIED INFRASTRUCTURE BEING INSTALLED IN THOSE PROJECTS, KICKING OFF MOST OF THOSE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT THINGS BETWEEN BUT BROWN AND 78 AND 5 44 GATEWAY PROPERTY WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION SOMETIMES, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER. UM MOST OF THOSE ENGINEERS THAT ARE TELLING ME YOU COULD TAKE UP TO SIX MONTHS FOR THAT TO WRAP UP JOHN MCCLURE, OR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER ON THE OTHER SIDE, HE SAID THAT MORE LIKELY IT'S PROBABLY THREE MONTHS. I THINK IT STARTED. THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO TRY AND WRAP IT UP AS FAST AS THEY CAN. IT'S SORT OF MENTALLY THAT THEY'RE TELLING US IT COULD BE UP TO SIX MONTHS FOR THAT PROJECT TO WRAP UP. AT THIS EXACT TIME. WE CAN ENTERTAIN ANY OTHER OFFERS, AND WE HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER INTERESTED USERS. ALL OF THOSE IN WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH OUR BOARD AND WITH COUNCIL AND EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WE'LL DETERMINE IF WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD THOSE THAT THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF TIME IF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS INSTALLED IN EARLY NEXT YEAR. THERE'S NOTHING THAT WOULD STOP US FROM ME THAT WOULD SELL MULTIPLE PADS OF PUBLICATION. WE COULD LEGITIMATELY SELL A LOT ONE ON 5 44 GATEWAY PROPERTY IN THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR, AND I HAVE MULTIPLE GROUPS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN LOCK FIVE, WHICH IS THE BACK.
OUR LISTING PARTNER AND THAT IS TO GO VIA PARTNERS. THEY HAVE MEDICAL OFFICE DEVELOPMENT GROUP THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME IN AND ACTUALLY PROPOSED MEDICAL OFFICE ON THE BACK. I WAS. WELL, BRING THAT TO YOU SOON TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT COMPANY OFFICE OR MEDICAL OFFICE AGAIN DRIVING DAYTIME POPULATION INCREASE THE SALES TAX REVENUE FOR THE FRONT PADS JUST KIND OF FEED ITSELF FROM THEIR BROWN 78 OF THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN LOTS TWO AND THREE. I MEAN, WE'VE GOT PEOPLE INTERESTED IN LOTS FOR AS WELL, SO WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY BIG HITS ON THE OFFICE IN THE BACK YET, BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE TALKED WITH HOTEL DEVELOPERS AND SOME OTHERS IN THE PAST. PROTEIN THANK YOU, MAYOR. ON THE EXPENSIVE SIDE, THE INCENTIVES ARE DOWN FROM 3.2 MILLION TO 1.9 MILLION. WHAT'S FALLING OFF THAT'S MAKING THOSE KIND OF DIFFERENCE IS THE BIGGEST THING WAS THE WIDELY LOGISTICS PARK WITH NORTH POINT JV WITH KCS WAS NOT RENEWED, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAD THE ABILITY TO MODIFY IT WITH THE CONTRACTUAL CHANGES THEY WERE GOING THROUGH WITH CP ACQUIRING KCS THAT WAS THE BIG ONE. THAT WAS AN EARMARKED FUNDS. LAST YEAR WE THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD HAVE, AND WE ALSO HAD A BIG REAL ESTATE OF OUR BIG 3 80 AGREEMENT OR BIG PLACEHOLDER FOR $3 MILLION INCENTIVE THAT WE THOUGHT MIGHT GO THROUGH FOR A BIG SHOPPING CENTER IN TOWN, AND IT ENDED UP CHANGING GEARS, AND THEY WENT WITH A DIFFERENT RETAIL USER, INSTEAD DISPLACING THOSE OTHER RETAIL USERS. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO INCENTIVIZE IT.
OKAY GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I WILL POINT OUT ALONG THE SAME NOTES INCENTIVE ITEMS YEARS AGO , MY PREDECESSOR USED TO TAKE WHATEVER THE ENDING FUND BALANCE WASN'T ADDED BACK TO INCENTIVES.
[01:25:05]
AS WE KNOW WE HAVE A RESOLUTION NOW THAT AUTHORIZED ALL OF OUR PROJECTS TO BE APPROVED BY COUNCIL. THE WILL OF COUNSEL. AT SOME POINT WE COULD GO BACK TO THAT. BUT THE ENTIRE INTENT IS THERE'S ANY MONEY LEFT OVER IT COULD BE USED FOR LAND. ACQUISITIONS ARE BORDER COUNCIL.HE'S BIT WE'D HAVE TO COME BACK AND GET THAT APPROVAL THROUGH YOU OR FOR ADDITIONAL INCENTIVES AS WE WOULD VOTE ON AND TRY AND BRING THOSE INVESTMENT DOLLARS TO THE CITY AT THE SAME TIME.
WHAT WOULD WE WOULD DO THEN IS TAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO NUMBERS AND IT WOULD BE MAINTAINED WITHIN THE INCENTIVE BALANCE SO THAT FOR QUALIFIED INFRASTRUCTURAL INCENTIVE OR INSTEAD OF ITSELF. OF COURSE, AS YOU SAID, THOSE WILL COME BACK. NOT ONLY THROUGH YOUR BOARD BUT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR UP THUMBS DOWN AS WELL. I'VE GOT THE PART OF THE OTHER ITEM IN THERE. WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUDGET FOR LAND. IF WE ARE GOING TO BUY IT OR NOT, RIGHT? WE WANT TO TALK TO OUR BOARD AND COUNCIL. SO WE HAVE A PLACEHOLDER IN THERE FOR LAND ACQUISITION. WE HAVE A $300,000 SURPLUS, JUST A PLACEHOLDER FOR INCENTIVES. THE REMAINDER OF THAT IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH THAT ENDING FUND BALANCE THAT CAN BE MODIFIED AS YOU GUYS SEE, FITTER AS OUR BOARD WOULD LIKE TO MODIFY IT. IF YOU IF YOU SO CHOOSE, WE PUT MORE MONEY IN ONE OF THOSE ITEMS. OKAY? UM DO YOU FORESEE ANY CHANGE IN THE INCENTIVES UP OR DOWN OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS? NO, SIR. THANK YOU. COUNCIL ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE BUDGET BEING PRESENTED THIS EVENING FOR THE E. D. C. OKAY IT APPEARS THAT'S ALL THE FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE THIS EVENING. SO IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER THAT YOU NEED FROM US? THANK YOU. OKAY APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND PRESENTING SO WITH THAT THAT WILL END OUR SECOND WORK
