The approximately 71.4-acre site is situated in the William Blevins Survey, Abstract Number 95, approximately 1,130 feet northeast of the intersection of Vinson and Stonewall Roads in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas.]

ARE PRESENTING FOR THE . >> MAN: THANK YOU MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR COMMISSIONERS FOR BEING HERE HERE TONIGHT. IF WE COULD PLEASE GO TO THE NEXT LIGHT.

I'M HERE THIS EVENING TO DISCUSS A PRELIMINARY PLAT SUBMITTAL FOR 194 SINGLE-FAMILY LOT PHASE FOR THE TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK. IN OCTOBER OF TRYING 2019 THERE WAS A ZONING FOR THE FIVE PHASES WHICH UTES 765 HOMES TO BE FAR NORTHEAST OF TOWN.

THAT IS KNOWN AS THE TRAILS OF TOWN CREEK. IT IS LOCATED WITH ANY Y DISTRICT AND ITS APPROXIMATELY 71 AND A HALF ACRES SUBJECT WHICH IS PHASE 1.

IT WILL BE UNDER THE 94 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS AND 25 ASIAN WAYS.

>> THIS PLAT WILL ESTABLISH PROPERTY BOUNDARIES, UTILITIES AS WELL AS FLOODWAY AND DRAINAGE EASEMENTS.CCESS TO THE SITE IS PROVIDED FOR VINSON ROAD AS WELL AS 12 INTERNAL RIGHTS-OF-WAY THAT WILL ASSIST IN TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AGAIN TO THE LOWER SCREEN THERE WITH HUNDRED AND 94 POTENTIAL LOTS. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE FIRST SHEET OF THE PLOT.

[5B. Conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council regarding a request by Gaby Rawlings, Jackson Walker LLP., on behalf of property owner RRC Acquisitions VI LLC., to 1) Rezone the subject property from Single-Family Residential (SF-9) District and General Commercial/Retail (C-2) District to Planned Development (PD) District for Single-Family Residential (SF-5) Uses and approval of a Concept Plan to construct 33 single-family homes; 2) Amend the Comprehensive Plan; and 3) Amend the zoning map of the City of Rowlett. The approximately 5.89-acre site is located west of Wilson Road and approximately 200 feet north of Woodside Road, situated in the J. W. Gardener Abstract, in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas.]

>> WE MOVE ON TO ITEM 5 B. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING REQUESTS BY GABBY RAWLINGS OF JACKSON WALKER LLP.

ON BEHALF OF PROPERTY OWNER RRC ACQUISITIONS THE SIXTH LLC 21, REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SF NINE DISTRICT AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL RETAIL C2 DISTRICT A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PD DISTRICT FOR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SF FIVE USES AND APPROVAL OF A CONCEPT PLAN TO CONSTRUCT 33 FAMILY HOMES. TWO, AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THREE, AMEND THE ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF ROWLETT.

THE APPROXIMATELY 5.98 ACRE SITE IS LOCATED WEST OF WILSON ROAD AND APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET NORTH OF WOODSIDE ROAD SITUATED IN THE JW GARDNER ABSTRACT IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT IN DALLAS COUNTY TEXAS. I BELIEVE MISTER ROBERTS YOU ARE PRESENTING AGAIN.

[00:10:02]

>> THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.>> AT THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING AGAIN AS A REZONING REQUESTT FOR THE APPROXIMATELY 5.8 ACRE PARCEL. THE CURRENT ZONING ON THE SITE IS GENERAL COMMERCIAL RETAIL AS WELL AS A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SF NINE DISTRICT.

THIS REQUEST WILL UNIFY THOSE TO EXTEND THE PD DISTRICT BY USES IN AN EFFORT TO ESTABLISH

33 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS. >> A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS SLIDE, THIS IS RELATED TO THE SPLIT ZONING. AGAIN, IT IS SPLIT BETWEEN C Ã ND SF ÃNINE.

IN 2017 THE PROPERTIES ARE NORTH OF THE SITE AND IT WAS REZONED FROM C ÃTWO AND SF Ã NINE AS WELL FOR THESE E RESTRICTED MULTIFAMILY PROJECT. ESSENTIALLY WHAT THAT DOES FOR THE SITE IS LEAVE A EMNANT C Ã TWO DISTRICT AND IT IS S NOT ACCESSIBLE OR POSSIBLE TO BE AS SUCH. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE LAURA. SOME SITE DATA FOR YOU.

THIS SITE IS DEVELOPED WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. THERE IS A PRE-CANOPY COVERAGE TO THE EAST AND WEST ALONG THE FLOODPLAIN. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 6 ACRES OF THIS SITE WHICH IS FLOODPLAIN ALONG THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE.

THEY ARE PROPOSING TO RECLAIM APPROXIMATELY .06 ACRES TO ACCOMMODATE PORSCHE OF THE LOTS THE PRUDENTIAL TRAIL THE RED LINE YOU SEE ON THE MAP THERE IS A CASH WHICH DOES REVERSE

THE SITE. >> SITE ACCESS IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSAL.

THIS WILL BE ACCESSED FROM WILSON ROAD AT ONE POINT YOU COULD SEE THAT IN THE LOWER

RIGHT. >> THE APPLICANT IS SETTING OUT TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE SOUTH AND I'VE CIRCLED THAT IN RED FOR YOU THREE POTENTIAL FUTURE EXTENT.

IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH ANY DEVELOPMENTS SUBMITTAL. THAT PROPERTY IS OWNED BY JSD NOT BE APPLICANT. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF REGARDING THE EXTENSION IN THE FUTURE. IT'S A TIME OF SITE DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND IT'S AT THE ZONING STAGE. THEY ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS FOR WILSON ROAD OR SURROUNDING ROADS.

INTERNAL RIGHTS INCLUDE A LOOP TO ACCOMMODATE FIRE ACCESS AND ON THE TOPIC OF FIRE BECAUSE THE SUBDIVISION IS OVER 30 LOTS THERE'S ONE POINT OF EGRESS AND THE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM WILL BE

REQUIRED PER THE IFC. >> THERE'S SOME DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS AND I SEE JEFF

COLLINS IS WITH US. >> THE PROJECT SITE AS YOU CAN SEE LIES ON THE EASTERN BANK OF A TRIBUTARY THAT IS TRIBUTARY TO MUDDY CREEK. THAT STREAM IS KNOWN AS STREAM TO E Ã10. WE ASKED THE APPLICANT TO CONDUCT THE STUDY OF THE STREAM AND THEY CONDUCTED THAT STUDY. IN THAT STUDY THE FLOOD MODEL OF STREAM TO E- 10 LOOKS AT SOME OF THE UPSTREAM PROPERTIES AS FULLY DEVELOPED INCLUDING THAT AGE RESTRICTED MULTIFAMILY PROJECT TO THE NORTH. THE STUDY MODELS WITH EVERYTHING BEING EQUAL THERE

[00:15:02]

THE STUDY CONCLUDES THAT DEVELOPMENT WITH DETENTION WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE CREEK AND DOWNSTREAM PROPERTIES BECAUSE THE TIME THAT A POND WITH DISCHARGE FROM THAT SITE WOULD COINCIDE WITH THE PEAK DISCHARGE IN THE CREEK.

THEREFORE IT IS MORE BENEFICIAL TO NOT HAVE THE ATTENTION SO IF THIS PROJECT WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WE WOULD EXPECT THE PROJECTS INTERNAL DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE WOULD BE DESIGNED WITHOUT THE NEED FOR UTENSILS. THAT'S THE DRAINAGE

CONSIDERATIONS FOR THIS PROJECT. >> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE LAURA.

>> AGAIN TAKING A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY WITH THE CURRENT ZONING IS DEVELOPED WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. THE SF ÃNINE DISTRICT IS INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE LOW-DENSITY SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS. AS WITH THE REZONING WE DO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING PATTERNS IN THEIR ZONING DISTRICTS.

YOU NOTICE THAT THE SF ÃNINE DISTRICT IS RELATIVELY ABUNDANT TO THE EAST AND WEST AND SOUTH.

TO THESE THEORIES PEERS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND IT IS OWNED WITH THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THERE'S SOME UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY THAT'S OWNED AS WELL AS TO THE SOUTH WHICH IS WITH SF NINE. THERE ARE TWO DEVELOPED SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES TO THE WEST OF BEARING THE DESIGNATION AS WELL AS AN ENCORE SUBSTATION.

THE CLOSEST SUBDIVISION AS IN THE WOODSIDE ESTATES WITH SUBDIVISION TO THE SOUTH.

THAT IS A PD FOR SF FIVE USES. THEY ARE WITHIN THE NOTICE AREA FOR THIS PROJECT.

>> IS A MINIMUM ZONING REQUIREMENT LARGELY THE SF Ã NINE DISTRICT AS WELL AS THAT WOODSIDE ESTATE DISTRICT OR PD RATHER FOR FIVE USES. THE MINIMUM LOT AREA FOR THOSE SF NINE PROPERTIES IS 9000 FT.B2. THE MINIMUM BUILDING AREA IS 1800 FOR THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. IT 6600 FT.B2 MINIMUM AND YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN THERE THAT LAST ROW IS PROPOSED FOR PROJECT WITH THE LOT AREA OF 3300 FT.B2 AND A BUILDING AREA OF 1300 FT.B2. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT OFTENTIMES THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT WHEN IT'S PUT UP DOES DIFFER FROM THE ZONING MINIMUM AS IS THE CASE WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. THE STANDALONE PROPERTIES ARE SF ÃNINE REQUIREMENTS. ON AVERAGE THE BUILDING AREA AND THE WOODSIDE ESTATES SUBDIVISION TO THE SOUTH PER HOUR, THEY ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND ARE BUILT OUT.

IT'S A PER OUR BUILDING PERMIT AND WE'RE LOOKING AT AN AVERAGE OF 3250.

AGAIN, WE TURN TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH THE ZONING CASES.

WITHIN THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DOES DESIGNATE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS THE STATE RESIDENTIAL. THAT IS DEFINED AS A SINGLE-FAMILY LOT OVER 20,000 FT.B2. THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WOULD ACTUALLY BE THE LOW RESIDENTIAL DRILL AND MOVE INTO THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION OF UNDER 7000 FT.B2 LOTS.

IS APPROXIMATELY JUST NORTH OF 3500 FT.B2 SO THAT STILL IS WITHIN THE MEDIUM DENSITY WHICH IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NATION. THE PROPOSED USES AN AFFORDABLE

[00:20:13]

>> MOVING INTO THE ACTUAL CONTENT PLAN ASSOCIATED WITH THE PD ON THE SCREEN YOU WILL SEE THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS IN YELLOW. AGAIN THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE IS 3300 FT.B2. I WILL LATER ON TOUCH ON THE LOT TO MENTION AS WELL AS THE SETBACKS. THE OPEN SPACES ENCUMBERED BY THAT GAP.

THERE ARE GAZEBOS AND PICNIC TABLES TO THE SOUTH. AS WELL AS A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION. IT'S THROUGH FLOODPLAIN AREA AND OF COURSE THESE LOTS TO

ALSO INCLUDE THE REQUIREMENTS ALONG WILSON ROAD. >> TOUCHING A LITTLE FURTHER ON THAT UP THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE THE ABOVEGROUND IMPROVEMENTS IS LARGELY LIMITED. IT'S PAVEMENT WITH THOSE SORTS OF THINGS THAT ARE PERMISSIBLE AND SO IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT 20% OF THE PROJECT SITE IS RESERVED FOR OPEN SPACE.

THE FLOOD PLANNING EASEMENTS DO LIMIT USABILITY OF ANY SORT OF VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS WITHIN THE AREAS THAT ARE ENCUMBERED BY THE EASEMENT. FOR REFERENCE WITHIN LOT 3X AND LOT 20 6X IT BLOCKS AS A AND B RESPECTIVELY. THERE IS A 58% AND 38% COVERAGE

OF THOSE LOTS WITH EASEMENT. >> LOOKING AT THE CONCEPT PLAN ON SCREEN YOU'LL SEE THE EXISTING STONING ZONING STANDARD AND THE SF FIVE DISTRICT AS WELL AS THE PD TANDARDS. ON THE FAR RIGHT YOU WILL SEE WHETHER IT'S AN INCREASE OR DECREASE FROM THE BASE STANDARD. IT'S NOT SPECIFIED IN THE PD AND THEY WILL COMPLY AND EXPECTED TO COMPLY WITH THE ZONING DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS.

>> INCLUDING WITH THE ZONING STANDARDS FOR THIS PROPOSAL, THERE ARE DEVIATIONS FROM THE SF FIVE DISTRICT WITHIN THE STANDARDS. I WILL READ THROUGH THEM BRIEFLY HERE. WE'RE LOOKING TO ELIMINATE THE ALLEY REQUIREMENTS AND PROVIDE A FRONTLOADED GARAGE PRODUCT WITH NO RECESS. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING ELIMINATION TO THE PRIMARY FEATURING A REDUCTION IN THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER.

>> I WILL GO THROUGH THOSE INDIVIDUALLY HERE. >> THE FIRST UP IS THE ELIMINATION OF THE ALLEY REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS THE STRAIGHT ENTRY WITH NO RECESS OR AS IT APPROACHES ALLEYS ARE INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE PLACEMENT INCLUDING TRASH THEY PROVIDED ALTERNATIVE TO OPEN UP RESIDENTIAL STREETS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICE ACCESS AND TO ENCOURAGE A PEDESTRIAN ACTIVE STREAM. IN INSTANCES WHERE THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THE GARAGE DOOR COMPRISES 25% WITH A FOUR POINT RECESS IS REQUIRED AND LARGELY THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE PUT IN PLACE IN ORDER TO PREVENT BOTH THE PHYSICAL AND VISUAL

[00:25:05]

HOUSE. >> AGAIN WE'RE OPTING FOR A FRONT ENTRY PRODUCT HERE ON THE 33 LOTS. THEY'VE STATED THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE A TWO OR ONE CAR GARAGE OPTION. EITHER WHICH IT'S LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE HOME WITH DIRECT FRONT INTEREST ENTRANCE STREET ACCESS. THIS PRODUCT IS WORTH NOTING WITH THE APPROACH FOR THE 4 FOOT RECESS. IT IS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY HAVE ALLOTMENTS FROM THE GARAGE ENTRANCE TO THE RIGHT AWAY.

FOR REFERENCE AT 20 FEET IS THE DEPTH THAT WE REQUIRE WITH A 90B0 PARKING STALL.

IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY ONLY ACCOMMODATE PERFECT ADDITIONS FOR LARGER VEHICLES.

>> THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING TO ELIMINATE THE ENTRYWAY AREAS. THEY ARE REQUIRED AND IN THIS CASE THEY ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE TRAFFIC CALMING TRANSITIONS FROM EXTERNAL STREETS AS WELL AS VISUAL AMENITIES. HE WAS SEEN ON SCREEN AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS. IT'S TYPICALLY TWO LARGER AREAS THAT'S 40 TO 50 FEET. IT'S FOLLOWED BY SOME ADDITIONAL AREAS IN BLUE.

QUICK SAMPLING IS NOT PROVIDING A FEATURE IS REQUIRED YOU CAN SEE ON SCREEN HAT THE TEE OFF OF WILSON ROAD DOES NOT PREVENT ANY LANDSCAPE FEATURES. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE AREA BE ALLOCATED AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE SUBDIVISION WITH THE INTENT OF THE ENTRYWAY FEATURED REQUIREMENT. IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT IF AND WHEN WILSON WROTE HIS EXTENDED FURTHER NORTH THAT IS LIKELY TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH MORE DEVELOPMENT.

THEY CAN POTENTIALLY EVEN PUNCH OUT TO THE PARKWAY. IF THAT IS THE CASE THAN THE PHYSICAL SEPARATION FROM WILSON ROAD WILL BE DESIRABLE AT THAT POINT.

THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING TO REDUCE THE WEIGHT OF WAY 10 FEET ALONG WILSON ROAD.

THIS IS CLOSELY RELATED TO THE ENTRYWAY FEATURE WITH LANDSCAPE BUFFERS.

THEY PROVIDE VISUAL AMENITIES AND LONG RIGHTS-OF-WAY AS WELL AS PHYSICAL SEPARATION.

THE CAN IS REQUESTING TO REDUCE THAT BUFFER BY 5 FEET. THEY CITE THE NEED FOR MORE INTERNAL AREA. INCLUDED IN THIS LANDSCAPE IS THE COMMITMENT TO INSTALL A 6 FOOT WROUGHT-IRON FENCE AND SHRUBS AND THEY MEET OUR LIFE GREEN STANDARDS.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO WISHING TO UTILIZE THAT EXISTING TREE CANOPY IS MUCH AS THEY CAN ALONG WILSON ROAD. WHERE THERE ARE GAPS THEY WILL BE EXPECTED TO FILL THOSE GAPS.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE 15 FEET BE ALLOCATED TO ACCOMMODATE THE APPROPRIATE

SPACE FOR PLANTING AS WELL AS A PHYSICAL SEPARATION. >> WE ARE LOOKING TO DECREASE THE SETBACK FROM 25 TO 5 FEET. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THE 25 FOOT REQUIREMENT FOR THE SF FIVE DISTRICT OFTEN TIMES IS ACCOUNTING FOR A REAR ACCESS OR THE REQUIREMENT.

IT'S WHEN THE FRONT ENTRYWAY PRODUCT IS PROVIDED HOWEVER WITH THAT, SOME LOTS ALONG THE FLOODWAY OR ALONG CERTAIN CONDITIONS TO THE WEST DO UTILIZE UPWARDS OF 24 FEET.

THE OPEN SPACE IS COMPROMISED IN SOME MANNER WITH EASEMENT AND IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT THE

[00:30:07]

>> I BELIEVE THIS IS THE LAST MEDIATION WE WILL DISCUSS WITH A DECREASE IN MINIMUM DWELLING AREAS FOR 1500 TO 1300. THESE AREAS ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE AN AREA OF CONFORMITY AND BROADER BUILDOUT RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS ESSENTIALLY MEANING THAT THEY ENSURE THAT HOME SIZES ARE COMPARABLE NEXT TO HOMING DISTRICTS.

THERE ARE LOT SIZE AND DIMENSIONS THAT PROVIDE THE FULL 1500.

THIS MEDIATION WILL RESULT IN A DECREASE HOME SIZE FROM THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENTS MAINLY THE WOODSIDE ESTATES TO THE SOUTH. REMEMBER THAT IT HAS A MINIMUM OF 1800 FT.B2 BASED ON OUR ACTIVE BUILDING PERMITS. THE SECTION 77 205 OUTLINES THE INTENT FOR THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS. IT'S MAINLY TO IMPLEMENT A HIGHER-QUALITY DEVELOPMENT. THAT THAT IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE WITH THE STANDING ZONING DISTRICT. A HIGHER-QUALITY DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED TO HAVE SOME OF THE FOLLOWING QUALITIES YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN. THE INSTALLATION OF ACCESSIBLE COMMUNITY SPACES AND PROXIMITY. IT'S THE INTEGRATION OF USES AND LOT SIZES, BUILDING TYPES THAT ENCOURAGE INVESTMENT FROM DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS. AS WELL AS THE IMPLEMENTATION FOR INFRASTRUCTURE STANDARDS THAT WE KNOW WILL STICK WITH DEVELOPMENT AND NOT JEOPARDIZE

IT IN THE FUTURE. >> PER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THE CONSTANT BRAZILIAN NEIGHBORHOOD COMES UP AND THAT IS FOR THE COMP PLAN WITH A FOCUS ON INCORPORATING A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES TO CREATE A COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT INCLUDES FLEXIBLE LOT SHAPES AND CONFIGURATION. IT PROVIDES RESIDENTS WITH THE SUBJECT SUBDIVISION WITH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PLACES AND BELONGING. IT SHOULD CONNECT THE NEW AND ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THE PROPOSED PLAN NOT INCORPORATING A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES OR LOT SIZES. ALTHOUGH COMMON AREA LOTS ARE WITH RESIDENTS IN KEEPING WITH THAT HIGHER-QUALITY DEVELOPMENT STANDARD HOMES ARE NOT ORIENTED TOWARDS SPACES.

AGAIN THEY ARE ENCUMBERED BY EASEMENTS. THE REQUESTED DEVIATIONS FROM THE SF FIVE DISTRICTS ARE MANY LOT DIMENSIONS WITH THE MINIMUM LOT DIMENSIONS NOT ENCOURAGING APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT. THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE STRATEGIC

[00:35:02]

WE HAVE NOT AS OF YET RECEIVED ANY RESPONSES. THEY ULTIMATELY DEVELOPED 33 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES WITH THE PROPOSED PD AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT WILL NOT FOSTER RESILIENT NEIGHBORHOODS OR CREATE A SENSE OF PLACE FOR A PHYSICAL OR MENTAL WELL-BEING.

WE REQUESTED DEVIATIONS FROM THE RDC. WITH THAT THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE WITH HER TEAM. THEY DO HAVE A PRESENTATION IN THE MEANTIME I AM AVAILABLE FOR

QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS

FOR STAFF? >> YES THIS QUESTION WOULD GO TO JEFF: PLEASE.

IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO REEDUCATE ME CONCERNING THE FLOODPLAIN AND HOW THAT WOULD NOT IMPACT ANYTHING UPSTREAM OR DOWNSTREAM. IF YOU TAKE AWAY AN AREA WHERE FLOODWATER WOULD NORMALLY GO, WHERE DOES IT END UP? I'M SORRY COMMISSIONER CAN YOU CLARIFY YOUR QUESTION? I DIDN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT THE FLOODPLAIN PER SE.

IT'S THE IMPACT OF THE ATTENTION ON THE CREEK. >> UNDERSTAND THAT MY QUESTION IS IN THIS PARTICULAR PLAN THEY ANTICIPATE RECOVERING A PORTION OF THE FUND LOODPLAIN.

I'M ASKING ING YOU TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT TYPE OF IMPACT THAT WOULD HAVE.

>> THEY HAVEN'T YET STUDIED THAT. THEY SHOW WHATEVER THEY DO TO THE FLOODPLAIN. WHATEVER MODIFICATIONS AND WHATEVER FELL.

WHATEVER IF THEY WANT TO MOVE THE FLOODPLAIN BOUNDARY WHATEVER THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO TO SHOW THAT THERE IS NO RISE IN THE WATER BASE FLOOD ELEVATIONS ON THEIR PROPERTY OR THROUGHOUT THIS STREAM REACH. THAT IS A REQUIREMENT FOR MODIFYING FLOODPLAINS IN

ROWLETT. >> THINK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMMISSIONERS? THESE ARE FOR STAFF BEFORE WE HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT.

>> OKAY I SEE NO HANDS. IF THE APPLICANT WILL COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND

ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. PROCEED WITH YOUR PRESENTATION. >> MAN: THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS RICK SHEFFIELD. MATTRESSES 361DELIA STREET ROW ROWLETT TEXAS.

I'M HERE RESENTING THE FINANCE CORPORATION. MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONS AND CITY STAFF, GOOD EVENING. I'D LIKE TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME FOR A COMMENT ON OUR ROLE, PRODUCT AND THE COMMUNITY.

WE TURN THIS OVER TO THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE DETAILS.

THIS IS FOR TODAY'S ESSENTIAL WORKER. AS YOU KNOW THE CITY COUNCIL CREATED THE ROWLETT CORPORATION TO LEAD THE CHARGE IN DEVELOPING OPPORTUNITIES FOR

[00:40:04]

IN FACT THE STAFF NOTED THAT THE CONTENTS OF PLAN IS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO PROVIDE HOUSING AND SUPPORTS VARIOUS LIFESTYLES AND POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS IN THE COMMUNITY.

WE HEAR HAVE HEARD FROM THE CITIZENS OF ROWLETT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND SEVERAL OF THOSE IN MEETINGS WITH YOU THAT THEY WANT TO HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME OPTIONS RATHER THAN MULTIFAMILY. IN FACT OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT THE INITIAL ORGANIZATION MEETING SAYS EMPHATICALLY THAT WE NEED SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE RETAINABLE BY PEOPLE THAT DO NOT EARN THE AVERAGE MEDIAN INCOME OF A ROWLETT CITIZEN.

YOU KNOW THE TARGET POPULATION IS AND WE HAVE NEVER WAVERED. IN ORDER TO EAT THE DEMAND FOR ATTAINABLE HOUSING WE MUST BE CREATIVE WITH SMALLER HOMES, SMALLER LOT SIZES, LOTS OF OPEN SPACE AND AFFORDABLE PRICES. WE PROVIDE MULTIPLE OPTIONS WITH REGARDS ELEVATIONS, FLOOR PLANS AND GARAGES I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING THE DOUBLE SPACE REQUIRED BY THE RELEVANT DEVELOPMENT FORM BASE TO COME. EVEN IF THEY RECOVER SOME OF THAT KIDS COULD SURE PLAY A LOT OF FOOTBALL GAMES ON THOSE OPEN SPACES.

THERE'S NO NEED FOR ME TO GO INTO THE FACTS REGARDING HOW HIGH HOME PRICES HAVE GONE OVER THE LAST DECADE. THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS SAID AN ARGUMENT ARTICLE ABOUT SKYROCKETING PRICES AGAIN JUST THIS MORNING. THEY PROVIDE MUCH-NEEDED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT ARE PRICED OUT OF THE HOUSING MARKET.

WE HAD IN ABOUT A PRODUCT THAT WE BELIEVE WILL ACCOMPLISH OUR GOALS.

IN FACT ARE NOT AWARE OF A SIMILAR DEVELOPMENT IN THE MARKET.

AND THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM. AS WE WORK WITH STAFF TO BRING THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE PARTIES WITH THE RDC IN ITS CURRENT FORM IS NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH HIGH DENSITY AFFORDABLE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. OTHER CITIES IN THE AREA DEVELOP ADDITIONAL STANDARD TO ADDRESS HOUSING IN THE AREAS THAT ARE UNIQUE.

ROWLETT UNFORTUNATELY HAS NOT. THERE ARE DISCUSSIONS THAT REACH OUT BUT AMEND THE RDC TO ACCOMMODATE MORE. THAT LEAVES US IN THE CURRENT SITUATION.

WE ARE MORE THAN EAGER TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY TO BRING THIS MUCH-NEEDED HOUSING TO ROWLETT. IN FACT, THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO REQUIRE ACCESS AND WERE TO EXTEND THE WORK ROAD FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE ARE ADDING SPRINKLER SYSTEMS TO MEET THE FIRE CODE.

I BELIEVE THIS IS A FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE AREA AS TYPICALLY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SPRINKLE UNDER 5000 FEET. TODAY'S ESSENTIAL WORKERS ON WHO WE DEPEND FOR SO MANY GOODS AND SERVICES SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE INCOME THAT ALLOWS THEM TO AFFORD LARGER HOMES THAT EXIST IN TODAY'S MARKET. TO NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN THESE WORKERS ARE ESSENTIALLY BOXED OUT OF BEING ABLE TO LIVE WHERE THEY WORK. IS THIS REALLY THE MESSAGE WE

AS A CITY WANT TO SEND? IT IS MY HOPE THAT IT IT'S NOT. >> THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT FIT IN THE BOXES THAT THE CITY CURRENTLY HAS. EVEN SO, WE ARE EAGER TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS TONIGHT. IT'S THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

THINGS YOU WANT TO CONSIDER CHANGING. IT'S ON THE TABLE.

WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO SERVE THE RESIDENTS THAT WORK AND PLAY IN OUR CITY.

TONIGHT, YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO SAY YES, WE WELCOME YOU TO WORK, PLAY AND LIVE IN ROWLETT. YOU ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

TONIGHT I ASKED YOU TO LOOK BEYOND THE BLACK-AND-WHITE. I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THE BENEFIT TO OUR ESSENTIAL WORKERS SO THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE THE CITY GOING FORWARD.

ASK YOU TO JOIN US IN MAKING THIS DEVELOPMENT A REALITY. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IT BENEFITS US ALL. COMMISSIONERS I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING TONIGHT. AT THE SEMINAL TURN THE PROGRAM OVER TO THE DEVELOPING TEEN. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU

[00:45:03]

MAY HAVE AT THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION. >> YOU CAN START THE

PRESENTATION WHENEVER YOU HAVE CHANCE LAURA. >> COULD YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR

NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. >> MY ADDRESS IS 2323 RUTH AVENUE SUITE 600. WE WILL START WITH THE THIRD SLIDE.

OUR REQUEST IS FOR A SMALL COMMUNITY OF 33 HOMES AND THEY ARE SMALL FAMILY HOMES AND WE'RE TRYING TO ATTRACT A VARIETY OF PEOPLE. IT IS WHERE IT'S MORE OF A PLACE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO ATTRACT AFFORDABILITY AND ALSO HAVE A CLOSE PROXIMITY TO MINUTES. WE WILL SELL THE HOMES OF THE BUYERS COME ALONG.

THAT VARIES BETWEEN THE ROOMS. THE PROPOSED SITE RIGHT NOW, CONNOR DID A GREAT JOB.

IT'S ABOUT 5.8 8 ACRES. HERE'S AN ELEMENTARY TO THE EAST AND THEN FURTHER EAST WE HAVE SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS AYLOR AND THE WALMART. TO THE WEST WE HAVE THE FLOODWAY AND THE CREEK PRODUCING THAT NATURAL AMENITY THAT WE ARE USING ALONG THE CREEK SIDE OF THE SUBDIVISION. IT'S IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE ROAD AND I'ALL ROCK.

ALSO WE HAVE DESCRIBED THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS THAT WE ARE USING THAT ARE BECOMING NATURAL BARRIERS. THE FLOODWAY TO THE YOUTH THAT IS BECOMING AN AREA WHERE THERE ARE RAILS AND HOMEOWNERS ALONG. THEY GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A DOG AREA AND PICNIC AREA WHERE HOMEOWNERS CAN ENJOY IT. IT WILL ALSO BE PROTECTED BY A FIRM AND WILL BE HAVING DEED RESTRICTIONS AND EACH OF THE RESTRICTIONS AS WELL.

THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE LANDSCAPING AND THE 10 FOOT BUFFER EASEMENT ALONG WILSON

ROAD. >> NEXT IS THE ELEVATION AND DESIGN PLAN.

THIS IS WHERE THE SUBDIVISION HAS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR DEVELOPMENT.

IT IS YET AN AFFORDABLE AREA AND WERE MAKING THIS AN AFFORDABLE DEVELOPMENT.

IT OFFERS A VARIETY OF OPTIONS FOR HOMEOWNERS. THE ELEVATIONS SHOW AT LEAST TWO OPTIONS FOR EACH ADJACENT HOME. WITH THAT IS ALSO GOING TO BE DIFFERENT FOR PLANS AND WITHIN THE HOME WILL ALSO BE WITHIN THERE.

WITH THE ELEVATIONS AND DESIGNS WE'RE GOING TO OFFER TWO TYPES OF STREETS HOME WHICH IS GONNA BE A VARIATION OF TWO BEDROOMS OR THREE BEDROOMS. THIS CAN BE A VARIATION IN THE TYPE OF ISSUE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE. THERE IS A DETACHED GARAGE ENOUGH TO GIVE THE HOMEOWNER MORE OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE GARDENING AND THE REASON BEHIND THIS IS TO REALLY TRY TO GIVE MORE OPEN SPACE FOR THE HOMEOWNER WHILE GIVING THE MOST VISIBILITY OF HAVING AN OPEN SPACE. THAT IS A SMALLER LOFT AND

[00:50:07]

>> THE DEED RESTRICTIONS ARE ALSO TO BE PROVIDING AGAINST HOME RENTALS AND REQUIRE THAT

THERE IS A FIVE-YEAR MAXIMUM TO QUALIFY FOR THE MORTGAGE. >> COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN, WE BELIEVE THAT IT COMPLIES WITH THE PLAN AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IT'S GOOD TO BE CENTERED AROUND THE MARKET. IT PROMOTES A DIVERSE HOUSING THAT IS A MAJOR PLAN IN THE COMMUNITY. THROUGWE'RE WORKING WITH THE CITY IS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO FIGURE OUT THE EXTENSION TOWARDS THE END OF WILSON ROAD.

RIGHT NOW WE DON'T FILE IT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE NOT TO STOP ANY PROGRESSION ON THE ZONING SITE. WE ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM IN THE FUTURE.

WE'VE SEEN SIMILAR PRODUCTS TO THIS AND THEY CAN THIS MORE. THERE ARE LOW MAINTENANCE HOMES LOW AMENITIES WITH SIMILAR OPPORTUNITIES IN DALLAS AND HOUSTON.

WITH THAT WE WILL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. WE WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

THAT YOU GUYS MAY HAVE. >> OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING

TO BE PRESENTING FROM THE APPLICANT'S TEAM? >> I AM.

I RAISE MY HAND. >> I'M SORRY. >> NO PROBLEM.

>> THIS IS FANCIES THEM STUFF. >> FIGURE NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND PROCEED THANK

YOU SIR. >> THIS IS BILL FISHER. I LIVE AT 5310 ROCK CLIFF PLACE DALLAS 75209.OMMISSIONERS FOR HEARING US. WE HAVE TO PROVIDE HOUSING ALTERNATIVES AND ROULAC. THAT WAY WE CAN CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

THINK ABOUT THE CHALLENGE THAT OUR KIDS HAVE TODAY TO BUY SINGLE-FAMILY HOME IN ROWLETT.

THE HOUSES ACROSS THE STREET WHICH THE STAFF WOULD LIKE US TO FIT IN WITH THEM START AT $350,000. IF OUR KIDS ARE MAKING 100 GRAND PER YEAR UNDER TWO AND HALF TIMES A MORTGAGE GROWS, THE LARGEST LARGEST WANTED QUALIFIES FOR $250,000.

AS LONG AS SOMEBODY CAN FLOAT THEM HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS DOWN PAYMENT THAT'S THE SMALLEST AND LEAST EXPENSIVE HOME IN THE WOODSIDE ESTATES. WE ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT. IT IS DONE INTENTIONALLY.E ARE PRETTY MUCH A FREESTANDING SUBDIVISION THAT IS WONDERFUL FOR FAMILIES. WE HAVE WONDERFUL GREEN BELTS

[00:55:04]

THE ROW THAT COMMISSION IS TO SERVE HOUSEHOLDS PURSUANT TO THEIR BOARD DECLARATIONS BETWEEN 60% AND HUNDRED AND 20% OF AREA MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME THAT'S IN FAMILY OF FOUR EARNING $53,000 TO APPROXIMATELY $99,000. WE CANNOT DESIGN A SUBDIVISION AND BUILD HOMES ACROSS THE HUNDRED AND $50,000 AND BELIEVE THAT WE ARE DELIVERING AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS TO YOUNG FAMILIES. THAT IS THE FINANCE CORP.'S MISSION. THE PURPOSE OF THE PURSUIT OF THE PD WAS TO DESIGN A SUBDIVISION THAT IS STANDALONE AND FITS IN WITH THIS AREA RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THAT WE ARE YOUNG KIDS CAN WALK ACROSS THE STREET TO GO TO THE GARLAND ISD. THE HOME PRICES TARGET FOR THAT BOARD IS 175 TO $245,000.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THAT WITH LARGE LOTS AND 2300 FT.B2 HOME.

WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT IN A VERY HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT THAT YOU ARE SEEING IN OTHER AREAS THAT HAVE STRUGGLED WITH AFFORDABILITY. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DENSITY THAN WE'D LIKE WITH A TWO-STORY HOUSE THAT PROVIDES SIMILAR LIVING SPACE THAT YOU WOULD GET ON A LARGER LOT AT ONE STORY. THAT'S A DESIGN THAT YOU ARE SEEING HERE. THE ARCHITECT OF RECORD WORKED OFF OF THE SUBDIVISION ON AIRPORT ROAD IN AUSTIN WHICH WAS INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL. THEY PROVIDE A LOT OF DENSITY BUT ALLOWS THE FAMILY TO OWN A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AND SOMETHING THAT WAS AFFORDABLE FOR THEM. THIS IS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME OWNERSHIP PROPERTY ONLY.

THE RELEVANT HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION WILL ONLY SELL THE PROPERTIES TO OWNER OCCUPANTS THAT WILL LIVE THERE FOR A MINIMUM OF FIVE YEARS. THERE'S NO OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVESTORS TO PURCHASE THESE HOMES. THE SUBDIVISION HON ENFORCEMENT OF THE RULE IS CONTROLLED BY THE HOUSING FINANCE CORP. UNTIL THE HOMES HAVE BEEN SOLD TO QUALIFIED FAMILIES WITH A FIVE-YEAR HOLDING PERIOD. THE HSC WILL ONLY INCREASE THE INCOME TO SELL THE HOUSES IF THAT WAS NECESSARY FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

THE HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION HAS A VARIETY OF OTHER TOOLS AND THEIR KIT TO HELP YOUNG FAMILIES GET INTO THESE HOUSES. THAT INCLUDES DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE AND ACCESS TO MORTGAGES THAT MAY NOT OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE FOR FOLKS EARNING AT THIS INCOME BAND. THE VARIANCE THAT HAVE BEEN REQUESTED FROM YOU IS SIMPLY TO BUILD A HIGH-QUALITY SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT THAT IS TRULY AFFORDABLE TO WORKING FAMILIES AND ROULAC. IT'S ONLY POSSIBLE WITH YOUR HELP.

THE BOARD WAS FORMED SEVERAL YEARS AGO WITH THE PRIMARY MISSION OF DOING JUST WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY. MY HELP SELF WITH THE HOUSING ADVISORS ARE STRICTLY MULTI-DEVELOPERS KNOW ONE CAN BUY SINGLE-FAMILY HOME THAT IS NOT OF MEANS.

WE ARE FORCING OUR YOUNG FAMILIES INTO APARTMENTS AND THAT'S WHY APARTMENTS ARE BOOMING. MY JOB IN THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HSC IS TO HELP THEM FULFILL THEIR MISSION. WORKING WITH THE AGENCY WE REQUIRE THIS PROPERTY AND HAVE PAID FOR THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN FOR THE SINGLE PURPOSE OF HELPING THE ROWLETT HOUSING CORPORATION DELIVER ON THEIR MISSION. THIS WAS THE MISSION ON WHICH THEY WERE FOUNDED WHICH IS TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE HOUSING FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN IN A SAFE DECENT ENVIRONMENT WITH AS MANY AMENITIES AS WE CAN PUT IN THEM AND SO KEEP THEM IN A PRICE RANGE SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD. WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY CONSIDERATION THAT YOU CAN GIVE US. I CERTAINLY WANT TO GO ON THE RECORD WE DISAGREE WITH AT LEAST 50% OF THE STAFF'S COMMENTS ABOUT NOT BEING IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PLAN. WHEN YOU OVERLAY THE FACT THAT THIS MISSION IS TO BE AFFORDABLE IN PROVIDING HOUSING ALTERNATIVES TO FOLKS OF DIFFERENT MEANS WE TRUMP 80% OF THEIR COMMENTS BECAUSE THAT IS IN YOUR PLAN. IT'S CLEAR AS YOU LOOK AT THE SLIDE THAT THE STAFF HAS, IT SAYS IT IN THERE. WE REALLY APPRECIATE ANY CONSIDERATION THAT YOU CAN GIVE THE ROWLETT FINANCE CORPORATION TO ALLOW US TO BUILD HIGH-QUALITY SUBDIVISION THAT WILL SERVE FAMILIES IN ROWLETT AND ALLOW OUR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN TO LIVE CLOSE TO SCHOOLS AND WHERE THEY WORK. WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER

[01:00:04]

TO GABBY. >> ANY QUESTIONS AT THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE FOR US WE WANT TO WELCOME MAT. WE WILL BE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ANY MEMBER OF THE APPLICANT TEAM

COMMISSIONERS? MISTER CONTE? >> YES GABBY, CAN YOU BACKUP TO THE SECOND TO THE LAST SLIDE THAT YOU HAVE WHICH GAVE US EXAMPLES OR SHOWED US, THAT ONE RIGHT THERE. DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW FAR IT IS FROM THE CURB TO THE

FRONT OF THAT HOUSE? ON ANY OF THESE? >> I'M ACTUALLY NOT ENTIRELY SURE ON THE SUBDIVISION. KNOW THIS IS IN THE HEIGHTS AREA WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY VERY PRESTIGIOUS AREA. I IMAGINE THEY ARE TRYING TO STAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY IN CODE REGULATIONS AND GIVE THE UTMOST QUALITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT AROUND THERE.

>> IS PROBABLY MORE THAN 20 FEET RATE? >> HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK.

>> THIS IS BILL FISHER. ALLOWS FOR TWO CARS TO BE AT THE DRIVEWAY ALTHOUGH THERE IS A GARAGE. AS WELL AS THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FOR THE SIDEWALK AND

CIRCULATION SUBDIVISION. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMMISSIONERS? COMMENTS? MISTER AND GINNY ESSER?

>> THIS IS DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE CONCEPT. I APPRECIATE RICK AND YOUR CONCERNS BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE WHERE WE DO HAVE TO COMPLY WITH TRYING TO CONFIDE WITH HOUSING AT A LOWER PRICE AND TRYING TO REACH OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN WITHIN OUR CITY. I THINK IT'S HARD FOR COUNCILMEMBERS TO TRY TO DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT HERE BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE APPROVED OTHER HOMES WITHIN OUR CITY THAT ARE AT LEAST 5000 FT.B2 LOTS AND PROBABLY RANGE IN THE 1300 TO 1500 SIZE SQUARE FOOT HOME.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT CONCEPT. LISTENING TO BOTH SIDES THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WOULD STILL HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT AGAIN. DON'T THINK THIS IS REALLY A FINAL PLAN.

WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT IT ABOUT THIS IS PROBABLY A GOOD SPOT WHERE IT'S NEAR AN MULTIFAMILY 55-YEAR-OLD HER HOME TO THE AREA. THERE ARE SOME OTHER CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT AND I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT.

TO OUR PEOPLE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD TO DO WITH THE SMALLER LOT AND SOME SMALLER HOMES TOO. THEY DID HAVE THEIR OPINIONS AND DID NOT COMPLY WITH A LOT OF THE STANDARDS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE WITHIN THE CITY. I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT

THERE. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. >> THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT JUST DOESN'T FIT IN THE BOXES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO FIT SOMETHING INTO. IT IS A NEW AND UNIQUE PRODUCT. STAFF HAS RECOGNIZED THIS AS WELL IN OUR DISCUSSION AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE THIS.

RIGHTLY SO THEY CAN FOLLOW THE CODE THAT THEY HAVE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS THAT SHOW DOESN'T NEED THAT. THE CODE WASN'T LIKE IT IS TODAY 10 YEARS AGO.

IT'S PAINTED OVER TIME. IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER CHANGE AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.

>> MISTER CONTE? >> I AGREE. IT MAY BE TIME FOR CHANGE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO LOWER-COST HOUSING. HOWEVER, LOOKING AT THE

[01:05:05]

THERE'S NOTHING NICE THAT I SEE ABOUT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS COMMISSIONERS OR QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?

>> I DON'T HATE IT BUT I DON'T LIKE IT VERY MUCH. IT'S A SMALL PROPERTY.

I GET IT. ANOTHER'S PROPERTY PRETTY WELL. IT'S SMALL PROPERTY WITH SMALL HOUSES. SMALL STREETS. THAT'S MY PROBLEM.

IT JUST SEEMS TO OVERCROWD AND IT LOOKS GREAT FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS THEN THINGS STARTED TO GROW AND ACCOUNTABILITY JUST GOES OUT THE WINDOW AND IT GETS RUN DOWN AFTER A WHILE.

>> EVENTUALLY INVESTORS ARE TO GET A HOLD OF THESE PROPERTIES AND THEY LOVE THIS CONCEPT.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S A BAD THING.WHAT IS THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE EVEN WITH A FIVE YEAR HOLD THEY ARE PROMISING. THEY OWN A LOT OF THE LAND AROUND AND THEY'RE WILLING TO SELL THAT LANDS. AT LEAST A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY WERE ACTUALLY WILLING TO SELL. I'M REALLY CURIOUS BUT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO BECAUSE ARE NOT USING IT THEY NEED IT AND THEY HAD A DIFFERENT PURPOSE FOR IT AND NOW THEY'LL NEED IT ANYMORE. I'D LIKE TO LOOK MORE INTO THAT.

>> TO ADDRESS THE CONGESTION LIST YOU THERE'S A 20 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY AND THEN THERE'S THE ADDITIONAL 4.5 FEET. AND THEN IT'S A TOTAL OF 3.45 FEET FROM THE STREET TO THE GARAGE. ANOTHER THING THAT BILL MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IS HOW INVESTORS WILL BE INVOLVED IN THE FUTURE. I THINK THAT THE INTENT IS THAT IT WILL BE EASILY PROTECTED AND THAT THE DEED RESTRICTIONS WILL PRETTY MUCH MAKE IT SO THAT IT'S A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ANY TO A PROTECTED. TO SPEAK ON THE WILSON ROAD EXTENSION RIGHT NOW THAT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T NECESSARILY PREDICT.

IT'S BY JSD AND I KNOW THAT HE'S BEEN VERY INVOLVED WITH THE BACK-AND-FORTH AND SYSTEM BEING A VIABLE SOLUTION. AGAIN I THINK THAT THAT'S NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO RESOLVE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE DELAY WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T DECIDED WHAT THEY WANT TO NECESSARILY DUE. WITH THAT I WILL LET BILL AND

RICK CHIME IN. >> GENTLEMEN DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT?

>> THE ISSUE IS GOING BEYOND FOR SOMEBODY TO OWN THE HOUSE IT'S AN OWNER-OCCUPIED HOUSE IF THEY DON'T OWN IT THAN THE VIOLET ROWLETT HAS THE ABILITY BUY BACK.

THERE'S NO UPSIDE IN THE INVESTOR BUYING THE HOUSE. AFTER THE FAMILY HAS BEEN IN IT

[01:10:01]

AS WE GET OUT OF COLLEGE OR TRADE SCHOOL WE LIVE IN AN APARTMENT AND THEN WE GET MARRIED AND LIVE IN A SMALLER HOUSE AND THEN WE ESTABLISH ROOTS IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE SELL OUR HOUSE AND MOVE INTO A BIGGER ONE. THIS IS A STEP IN AN ECONOMIC LADDER THAT SERVES A SECTION OF THE POPULATION THAT'S BEING LEFT BEHIND.

YOU ARE RIGHT. THIS IS DIFFERENT AND IT'S DIFFERENT FOR REASON BECAUSE WE HAVE TO. BECAUSE THE BOXES GENERATING PRICES IN ROW LET ACROSS THE STREET FROM US AT $350,000. BY THE WAY. FAMILIAR WITH THAT SUBDIVISION THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN YOUR CODE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY ARE CONFIGURED. THEY DON'T HAVE ALLEYS IN THE BACK AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF GREEN BELL. THEY HAVE FRONT YARD BUT THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE BACKYARD AS WELL. THE ORIENTATION OF THESE HOUSES IS DESIGNED TO MAKE IT A FAMILY ORIENTED HOUSE SO FAMILIES HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT A PATIO IN THESE YARDS DIFFERENCE IN THE BACK AND THE KIDS CAN PLAY IN THE BACKYARD WHICH IS HOW IT WAS WHEN I GREW UP.

THE ISSUE OF THE NUMBER HOUSES IS SIMPLY A FUNCTION OF AFFORDABILITY.

WE EITHER HAVE TO OFFER HOMEOWNERSHIP PRODUCTS TO OUR YOUNG FAMILIES WHERE WE ARE SIMPLY DOOMING THEM TO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND BOLD. YOU CAN CREATE AND VIEW THIS IS A TEST LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

IT'S 33 HOUSES AND ROULAC. THIS IS A CHANCE AND A PRETTY WELL ISOLATED LOCATION TO SEE WHETHER THIS CONCEPT WORKS. YOUR STEWARD IS IN SOME THIRD-PARTY OR DEVELOPER.

IT'S YOUR LOCAL HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION WHICH HAS DIRECT OVERSIGHT FROM YOUR CITY COUNCIL. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY WERE FORMED TO TRY AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT WOULD ALLOW SOME AFFORDABLE SINGLE FAMILIES.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN GETTING WITH YOUR CURRENT CODE ARE 350,000 HOUSES. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO EXPERIMENT IN A VERY TIGHTLY CONTROLLED THE LOCATION AS YOU MENTIONED WHERE BOUNDED ON ONE SIDE BY THE SCHOOL AND THE OTHER SIDE BY THE CREEK WITH THE SENIOR LIVING. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF HOUSES ACROSS WOODSIDE FROM US AND FROM THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NOT THAT FAMILIAR FRONT WITH THE AREA THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CREEK IS ALSO THE TX UN ENCORE SUBSTATION IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH A COUPLE ACRES THAT THEY BUILT A MAN. WE WOULD ASK YOU TO TRUST THE HOUSING FINANCE CORP. AND GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD AT THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF SHOWING THAT WE COULD PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO YOUNG

WORKING FAMILIES SO THEY CAN LIVE AND PROSPER IN ROWLETT. >> THANK YOU SIR.

>> I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT TALKING ABOUT THE HO A. IN YOUR PRESENTATION YOU SAID THE HO IS ONLY THERE UNTIL THE LAST HOUSES BUILT. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT POINT? THAT'S NOT CORRECT. IT'S FIVE YEARS AFTER THE LAST HOUSES PURCHASED.

THE WHOLE SUBDIVISION HAS TO GO THROUGH THE ACQUISITION BY AN OWNER OCCUPANT.

IF THAT'S NOT CLEAR WE WILL MAKE THAT CLEAR BUT I KNOW THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION.

THIS IS WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR THE AGENCY TO BE INVOLVED FROM START TO FINISH TO SEE THROUGH THE HOMES BUILT IN THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD BEFORE THEY ARE OUT OF H AWAY IS WHEN THE LAST HOUSES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER OCCUPANT. THE TOTAL CONTROL OVER IT GOES

AWAY. >> IT WAS MORE OF A REFERENCE TO THE DEVELOPER BEING INVOLVED

IN THAT PROCESS WHERE THEY BUILD OUT THEIR HOMES. >> THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

[01:15:03]

>> WE HAVE NO CALLERS. >> WE HAVE NO CALLERS. SUSAN DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT

YOU WANT TO READ INTO THE MINUTES? >> I DO HAVE ONE WRITTEN COMMENT. THIS IS FROM STANLEY. IT'S THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. HAVE YOU NOTICED SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING ZONING REQUESTS AND ARE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN TO CHANGE THE SF ZONING INSTEAD OF THE ACTUAL ZONING ON THE PROPERTY. WHETHER THE LOCATION IS MILLER ROAD OR DON'T ROCK ROAD OR MILLER ROAD AND ROULAC ROAD OR WOODSIDE OR THIS LOCATION AT WILSON ROAD AND.

EVER NOTICE WE ARE PACKING IN HOUSES AT 2 TO 4 TIMES WHAT WOULD BE BUILT WITH THE ZONING IN PLACE BEFORE THE REQUEST. THERE'S A REASON THE CURRENT ZONING WAS ESTABLISHED AT SF 40. THE MAIN REASON IS THAT THE ROADWAYS WATER AND SEWER PIPES IN THE GROUND WERE MADE FOR THAT LOAD OR LESS BELOW. WHY DID MOST PEOPLE INCLUDING YOURSELVES MOVED TO ROWLETT IN THE 1980S AND 90S? THEY MOVED HERE FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOME WITH LOTS FACE FOR THEIR KIDS OR FUTURE KIDS TO PLAY IN.

NOT BASICALLY WALL-TO-WALL HOUSES. WE DIDN'T MOVE HERE FOR HUNDRED THOUSAND PLUS POPULATION. WE CAN MOVE YOUR FOR THE TRAFFIC JAMS THAT DALLAS HAS.

CRAMMING THIS TOWN FULL OF SF FIVE NSF SEVEN AND MULTIFAMILY ISSUE GIVING US TRAFFIC JAMS. REMEMBER ONLY HIGHWAY 66 SIX LANES THROUGH THE CITY. MILLER IS FOUR LANES AND TWO LANES AND IT'S ONLY A TWO LANE. THE SERVICER IS TWO LANES NORTHBOUND IN TWO LANE SOUTHBOUND. ROWLETT ROAD IS SIX LANES TO MILLER AND FOUR LANES TO SOUTH GARLAND. THESE ARE THREE AFFAIRS OUR COLLECTIVE STREETS.NOUGH IS ENOUGH. I URGE YOU TO VOTE NO ON ITEM 5 FEE AND OTHER ITEMS LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE UNTIL ROADS CAN BE WIDENED AND STUDIES ON OUR WATER AND SEWER STRUCTURE CAN

BE DETERMINED. >> AT THIS TIME WITH NUMBER COMMENTS TO BE READ WE WILL FORMALLY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COMMISSIONERS THAT LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING.

RICK I HEAR YOU AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

I THINK YOU HAVE ROW LET'S HEART IN YOUR HEART. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC ITEM TONIGHT ON TWO POINTS. ONE, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE TOO DENSE. MAYBE WE UNDERSTAND THE SF 50 AND I LOOK AROUND I HAVE A DAUGHTER IN ANOTHER CITY. I WORKED DOWNTOWN AND I DROVE AROUND A LOT.

I SEE WITH POPULARITY CELEBRITIES BUILDING IN THESE TOWNS.

THAT'S WHY THERE IS SO MUCH SF FIVE AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD COMMENT FROM THE LAST ITEM IN THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE ARE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THESE SETBACKS IN MY MIND.

I THINK THERE'S SOME WORK TO BE DONE ON THIS PLAN. I WILL BE SUPPORTING IT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS BEFORE WE VOTE?

>> I HAVE ONE. >> GO AHEAD. >> THIS WHOLE THING I'M ON THE FENCE AS A TEACHER. HE LIVED IN MARYLAND FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS NOW AND COULDN'T AFFORD TO BUY THIS HOUSE THAT WE ARE IN NOW WITH PRICES GOING UP.

I HEAR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE SAYING.HAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO JUGGLE IS THE SPIRIT OF THE CODE VERSUS THE LETTER OF THE CODE AND HOW THAT APPLIES. WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IS THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY DEVIATIONS FROM THE CODE MOSTLY WITH THE SETBACKS IN THE BACKYARDS.

[01:20:05]

JUST THE ABILITY FOR THE KIDS TO GO OUT BACK AND PLAY. NOT HAVE THEM OUT FRONT THINGS LIKE THAT THAT FEEL LIKE I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING FROM A COST STANDPOINT TO GET UNITS IN THERE BUT IT JUST FEELS LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE SPACE. I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO ME. IT'S JUST THE NUMBER OF DEVIATIONS.

OVERALL I LIKE THE CONCEPT AND WE GUYS ARE LOOKING AT. I FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT QUITE

THERE. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SIR.

>> ANYBODY ELSE? AM I MISSING ANYBODY? >> I HAVE ONE,

>> GO AHEAD SIR. >> MY COMMENT IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WESTER SAID.

I LOVE THE IDEA THAT WE ARE TAKING IDEAS TO CONSIDERATION FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

IF THE HOUSE SET BACK WAS AS FAR BACK AS SOME OF THOSE PICTURES IN THE PRESENTATION REPRESENTATION THAT LIKE THERE'S A LOT MORE ROOM IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE BETWEEN THE STREET IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. ESPECIALLY THE PICTURE WHERE THIS IS A TRICK COUNTRY AND EVERY DRIVE THE TRUCK. IF YOU PARK IN F1 50 IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND THE BUMPER BLOCKS ASIDE WAY THINK THAT'S A MAJOR ISSUE.

I LOVE THE CONCEPT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

LIKE WEST SAID I JUST THINK THERE'S WAY TOO MANY DEVIATIONS TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT BUT

THAT'S ON TO SAY. >> THANK YOU SIR. >> I HATE TO SAY IT BUT I WANT TO GO BACK AND RETRACT IT. I DON'T IT'S A BAD IDEA. I THINK IT'S BEST-OF-FIVE AND WHAT YOU GUYS THAT IS A VERY UNIQUE LOT. I TOTALLY GET IT.

I WALKED THE THOUGHT MANY YEARS AGO. IT'S AN INTERESTING SPOT I TOTALLY GET WHERE WE COME FROM. Y HESITATIONS ARE NOT ONLY FROM MY PREVIOUS COMMENTS BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THE SPACE NEEDS A LOT OF THEM ARE PATIENTS AND I'M REALLY ABOUT THE FUTURE.

THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF GREAT BUT THE 10 TO 15 YEARS WHAT IS A CAN LOOK LIKE? WHAT'S THE AREA SURROUNDING IT CAN LOOK LIKE? I FEEL LIKE THERE'S TOO MANY BIG PIECES AMOUNTED ESPECIALLY ON KHAZEI ROAD WHERE IT TURNS COMMERCIAL.

IT DOESN'T REALLY NEED WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH THAT. WITH CAN BE USED AROUND IT? I FEEL LIKE THE AREA NEEDS A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM AND I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

I WILL BE RECOMMENDING THAT FOR APPROVAL. >> MISTER CONTE ASA?

>> I HAVE FINAL COMMON AS WELL. >> I'M NOT EXACTLY SOLD ON THE FACT THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAS TO BE HIGHER DENSITY AND SMALLER HOMES.

I THINK THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPTIONS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING MAYBE WITH OTHER TYPES OF ENTITIES BE IT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OR ORGANIZATION SUCH AS THEIRS TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND ASSIST WITH GETTING IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCT THAT MATCHES THE DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS AT THE SAME TIME. I THINK THAT WOULD BE DOING THE SERVICE FOR FAMILIES IN NEED OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IT'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT LOOKS LIKE EVERY ELSE'S HOUSE.

>> AND MAKE THE FINAL COMMON MYSELF. THIS IS A SMALL TRACK.

IT HAS THE EASEMENT THAT'S CUTTING IN ON SOME MONEY MAKING POTENTIAL HERE AS WELL AS THE FLOODPLAIN AREA. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE MONEY WHEN YOU GO TO DUTIES THERE'S A LOT OF WORK AND PLANNING WITH COST INVOLVED. I HOPE YOU CAN WORK OUT SOMETHING.

THAT WAY YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH YOUR DESIRE TO DIVIDE LOWER INCOME HOUSING.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. I JUST THINK MAYBE THIS WHOLE INITIAL MIDDLE CAN BE WORKED

[01:25:13]

ON. >> ARE COMMISSIONERS. ARE YOU READY TO MAKE A MOTION?

>> I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DISAPPROVE THE REQUEST. >> WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM MISTER CONTE TO DENY THIS SPECIFIC ITEM. DO YOU HAVE A SECOND.

>> A SECOND FROM MISTER MARK. THOSE IN FAVOR OF DENIAL PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

WE HAVE FOUR. EVERYONE THAT OPPOSES. LET'S DO THIS AGAIN.

EVERYONE WHO APPROVES DENIAL OF THIS ITEM PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

I HAVE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT ON CAMERA AS WELL. THOSE OPPOSED TO DENIAL PLEASE

RAISE YOUR HAND. >> I'M GOING TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING ON THIS ONE.

THAT MOTION PASSES TO DENY THIS
