COUNCILWOMAN BELL?

>> TO GIVE YOU BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT AUTISM.

ACCORDING TO, JUST A MINUTE, ACCORD TO GO AUTISM SPEAKS.ORG, WORLD AUTISM MONTH IS APRIL. AUTISM SEEKS TO CELEBRATE, EDUCATE AND PROMOTE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND ACCEPTANCE OF INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM. THE ORIGIN OF AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH BEGAN IN 1972 BY THE AUTISM SOCIETY. THE SOCIETY HOSTED IT'S FIRST AWARENESS CAMPAIGN WHICH WAS A WEEK-LONG CELEBRATION CALLED NATIONAL AUTISTIC CHILDREN'S WEEK. THIS CAMPAIGN LATER EVOLVED INTO A MONTH-LONG CELEBRATION MARKING

[00:30:04]

ALL APRIL TO PROMOTE AWARENESS AND ACCEPTANCE OF AUTISM. THIS YEAR, THE RDEIC CHAMPIONED BY THE COMMUNITY MEMBER WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THE WEEK OF APRIL 10TH-16TH AS AUTISM AWARENESS WEEK IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT TO CELEBRATE AND APPRECIATE THIS DIVERSE GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS. AS PART OF THIS PROCLAMATION, THE RDEIC WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST TO LIGHT THE WATER TOWER IN BLUE DURING THE WEEK OF APRIL 10TH-16TH, 2022.

TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT TO ALL OF THE CITIZENS, SPECIFICALLY, THOSE DIAGNOSISED WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER. AND I ALSO HAVE SOME SUPPORT THAT HAVE DIFFERENT WEBSITES THAT YOU COULD GO TO AND YOU COULD EDUCATE YOURSELF IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH AUTISM. AND THEY HAVE VARIOUS, THEY HAVE BUILDING SUPPORT, TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE INDIVIDUAL, AND CREATE ACCOMMODATING ENVIRONMENT FOR THOSE WITH AUTISM. AND YOU COULD ALWAYS VISIT HERE, THEY HAVE WWW.AUTISMSPEAKS.ORG/EVENTS, DURING THE MONTH OF APRIL AND PARTICIPATE IN THEIR ONLINE EVENTS WHERE YOU COULD LEARN MORE ABOUT AUTISM AND PROVIDING SUPPORT. OKAY.

>> AND, THE PROCLAMATION: WHEREAS APPROXIMATELY 5,440,000 ADULTS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER, ASD WITH TEXAS AMONG THE STATES HAVING THE GREATEST NUMBER OF ADULTS LIVING WITH ASD AND WHEREAS THE CENTER FOR DEVIS CONTROL AND PRESENTATION, WHEREAS AUTISM IS A LIFE LONG DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY HAVING NO IDENTIFYING CAUSES OF CURE, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT IMPAIRMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE, UNDERSTAND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND DEVELOP APPROPRIATE INTERACTIVE BEHAVIORS. AND, WHEREAS, PARTNERSHIPS WITH AUTISM CENTERS OFFER HOPE THROUGH OUR OUTREACH TRAINING AND CONSULTATION FOR THOSE EFFECTED BY ASD, BECAUSE AUTISM AFFECTS NOT ONLY THE DIAGNOSED BUT THE ENTIRE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY AT LARGE. AND NOW THEREORE, I, PAM BELL, FOR MATT GRUBISICH, MAYOR PRO TEM OF THE CITY OF ROWLETT, TEXAS AND ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF ROWLETT, DIVERSITY EQUIEQUITY A INCLUSION COMMISSION. THAT'S WHAT THE RDEIC MEANS, OKAY. DO HEREBY PROCLAIM, THE WEEK OF APRIL 10TH-16TH, 2022 AS AUTISM AWARENESS WEEK IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS TO BECOME EDUCATED ABOUT ASD AND SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ON ASD THAT OFFER CARE AND SERVICES FOR THOSE LIVING WITH THIS DISORDER.

AND, THIS IS PART OF THEM. (APPLAUSE).

>> WE ALSO HAVE OUR COMMUNITY MEMBER CHAMPION WHO CAME TO US AND REQUESTED THIS PROCLAMATION. IF YOU GUYS HAVE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO SEE US RECOGNIZE, PLEASE REACH OUT. WE LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK AND WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING THIS PROCLAMATION.

>> DO YOU WANT WE TO INTRODUCE? >> TARA?

>> THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU. >> I ASSIST THE LIAISON WITH THE ROWLETT DIVERSITY EQUITY INCLUSION COMMISSION AND THEY PRESENT PROCLAMATIONS FOR DIFFERENT DIVERSE, I'M TARA BRADLEY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING WITH THE CITY OF

ROWLETT. >> DO YOU WANT TO COME AND

SPEAK? >> I'M THE CHAIR OF THE RDEIC, WE HAVE OUR COMMUNITY MEMBER AND WE HAVE JOE ANNA FALEN.

[00:35:13]

>> I'M BARBARA, I'M AN INTROVERT, SO THIS IS REALLY HARD. SO, BEAR WITH ME. I'M A SPEECH PATHOLOGIST, AND A MOTHER OF A CHILD WITH AUTISM AND I REACHED OUT TO THE CITY AND I'M SO HAPPY THAT THEY ACCEPTED TO MAKE THEIR PARKS MORE ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE FOR KIDS WITH AUTISM. SO THIS YEAR, THIS GIANT PIECE OF PAPER, THAT IS BACKWARDS, IS CALLED COMMUNICATION BOARD AND FOR KIDS WHO ARE NONVERBAL, NOT JUST KIDS WITH AUTISM, FOR KIDS WHO CANNOT SPEAK VERBALLY, THIS IS HOW THEY COMMUNICATE. THIS IS YOU THEIR PARENTS KNOW IF THEY'RE THIRSTY OR TIRED, THAT'S HOW THEY COMMUNICATE THEIR BASIC NEEDS.

WHEN THEY GO TO A PLAYGROUND, PARENTS SOMETIMES HAVE TO GUESS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IN A PLAYGROUND, SO, I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DESIGN A PLAYGROUND COMMUNICATION BOARD THAT'S GOING TO BE PLACED AT THE KID'S PARK THAT KIDS WITH AUTISM CAN NOW INTERACT WITH AND TELL THEIR PARENTS, I WANT TO GO PLAY AT THAT SPECIFIC PART OF THE PARK, OR IT'S TOO HOT OR COLD, AND THIS IS HOW THESE KIDS WILL BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THEIR FAMILIES. AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS, JUST LIKE A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE DO AND TAKE FOR GRANTED TODAY THAT STARTED WITH A KIDS WITH DISABILITIES, LIKE A RAMP. WE ALL BENEFIT FROM RAMPS, CLOSED CAPTIONS, WE ALL BENEFIT FROM CLOSED CAPTIONS AND THAT WAS DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WITH A HEARING IMPAIRMENT, BUT WE LOVE CLOSED CAPTIONS, I WATCH MY MOVIES WITH CLOSED CAPTIONS.

KIDS WITH LIMITED VOCABULARY, CAN GO AND POINT TO THE WORDS AND LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THESE WORDS. SO, I'M EXCITED AND I'M HOPING THAT THIS WILL BE THE FIRST PARK OF ALL PARK WITH ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL KIDS TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE.

SO... (APPLAUSE) >>

>> THANK YOU ALL AGAIN, THAT'S A GREAT STORY AND ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO IF YOU JOINED ONE OF OUR OARDS AND COMMISSIONS. I SAW YOUR E-MAIL WHEN YOU CAME IN AND I THINK THAT BOARD IS A GREAT IDEA AND I'M EXCITED TO GET THAT AT KID'S KINGDOM BECAUSE THAT'S PAGAIN, A WAY THAT SETS US APAR.

[6. CITIZENS’ INPUT]

ELSE HAVE ANY MESSAGES THEY WOULD LIKE TO SAY. ALL RIGHT, ONTO OUR CITIZEN INPUT, WE HAVE THREE INPERSON, BARBARA, YOU HAD SUBMITTED TO TALK ABOUT THE AUTISM COMMUNITY BOARD, ARE YOU GOOD? OR DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK AGAIN?

>> (INDISCERNIBLE)

>> FOR THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM 8A, WE WILL DO THAT

DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> SO DAVE, HALL AND DEB

SHINDER. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME?

>> YES, SIR. >> DAVE HALL, 6917 MILLER ROAD.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ECONOMIC INCENTIVES AFTER HEARING A BIT ABOUT IT AT LAST NIGHT'S MAYOR DEBATE. MY PROPERTY AT 6917 STARTED OUT AT .12 ACRES, AND PRIOR TO MY BUILDING THERE, I PAID $25 IN PROPERTY TAXES. NOW THAT I HAVE MOO I BUILDING THERE, LAST YEAR I PAID OVEREN $11,000 IN PROPERTY TAXES ON THAT PROPERTY AND I WAS GLAD TO BECAUSE OF THE SERVICES THAT I GET. I PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF ADDITIONAL SALES TAX THAT I DID NOT PAY PRIOR TO THAT BUILDING GOING IN THERE AND I PAID TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO STUDENTS FOR EDUCATION WHO HELPED OVER THERE AND I PAID TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR IMPORT TARIFFS COMING IN AND I GLADLY PAID THOSE FOR THE SERVICES THAT I RECEIVED. THROUGH THIS PROCESS, PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC, DURING THE PANDEMIC, AND AFTER THE PANDEMIC, I HAVE RECEIVED NO FEDERAL STATE, OR LOCAL ASSISTANCE AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKED IT. I WOULD SAY WITH OUR ECONOMIC INCENTIVES, BE CAREFUL WITH THE ECONOMIC GRANTS THAT YOU GIVE, IT'S DIFFICULT FOR A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY TO PICK A WINNER. ROWLETT HAS A COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE ON THE LAKE THAT NO OTHER CITY ON OR OFF THE LAKE HAS. WE SHOULD USE THAT ADVANTAGE THAN WE DO AND RELY LESS ON TAX ABATEMENTS.

LET'S MANAGE THE TAX DOLLARS MORE EFFICIENTLY. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, DAVE. DEB? >> DEBORAH SHINDER, 3009 SUNRISE DRIVE. WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF APPRECIATION GOING ON TONIGHT AND I WANTED TO THROW MY $0.02 IN THERE AND I WANTED TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT ALL THE SELFLESS VOLUNTEERS WHO PUT IN SO MUCH TIME AND WORK TO IMPLEMENT THE CITY PROGRAMS ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. YOU KNOW, ALMOST 200,000 HOURS, MARTHA SAID, THAT IS JUST INCREDIBLE. I WAS ADD WHEN I LEARNED THAT THE CITY WAS NOT GOING TO BE DOING A VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION BANQUET THIS YEAR AND I UNDERSTAND HOW COVID-19 CONCERNS PRECLUDED HOLDING SUCH AN EVENT FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. BUT THE CITY HAS BEEN OPENED BACK UP FOR AWHILE NOW, AND I REALLY WISH WE COULD HAVE DONE THAT. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE REESTABLISHMENT OF THAT BANQUET NEXT YEAR. THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A VERY SMALL TRIVIAL MATTER COMPARED TO THE MANY CRITICAL ISSUES AND DECISIONS THAT THE GOVERNMENT BODY MAKES, BUT, I HOPE THE MEMBERS OF THE NEW COUNCIL WILL PUT VOLUNTEERS APPRECIATION BANQUET ON THEIR TO-DO LIST. I WANT TO THANK ALL THE MEMBERS ESPECIALLY OF ALL OF THESE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, I'VE

[00:45:03]

SERVED ON QUITE A IF YOU AU OF THEM, I CAN ATTEST THAT IT'S FUN AND GRATIFYING AND IT'S ALSO A LOT OF HARD WORK. IT'S THE BEST WAY TO LEARN ABOUT HOW YOUR CITY OPERATES AND THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE VARIOUS CITY DEPARTMENTS. ESPECIALLY AS A FORMER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, I WANT TO SAY, A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEERS AND TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS OFFICERS AS WELL, SINCE WE HAVE THAT WEEK THIS WEEK TOO. BACK IN THE OLDEN DAYS WHEN I WAS A POLICE OFFICER, WE CALLED THEM DISPATCHERS, BUT, WHATEVER YOU CALL THEM, WE KNEW THAT SOMETIMES OUR LIVES DEPENDED ON THEM. A GOOD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER IS WORTH HIS OR HER WEIGHT IN GOLD AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU COULD GIVE ENOUGH APPRECIATION TO THEM. IT'S A REALLY HIGH STRESS JOB, IT'S NOT AN EASY JOB, I WORKED IN A SMALL CITY WHERE SOMETIMES THE OFFICERS WOULD HAVE TO SIT IN FOR THE DISPATCHERS AS THEY TOOK A BATHROOM BREAK OR WHATEVER, AND IN SOME WAYS THAT WAS HARDER THAN WORKING OUT ON THE STREETS AND FACING DOWN THE CRIMINALS, BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, REALLY, YOU COULDN'T SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND YOU HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE WHO IN ALL KINDS OF SITUATIONS. SO, I REALLY WANT TO THANK THEM. AND FINALLY, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO THE RDEIC FOR BRINGING FORTH OF THE PROCLAMATION FOR AUTISM AWARENESS WEEK. AND, AS SOMEONE WHO HAS KNOWN QUITE A FEW PEOPLE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM OVER THE YEARS I KNOW EXACTLY HOW THAT IS, AND I FULLY SUPPORT THE LIGHTING OF THE WATER TOWER IN RECOGNITION OF THAT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, DEB. >> WE HAVE TWO EMAILS THE FIRST IS FROM GAIL ROB BARGE, I'M REQUESTING THAT ITEM 7G BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA. THE CODE OF ORDINANCES REQUIRES ALL IMPACT FEES BE PAID PRIOR TO THE BUILDING PERMIT BEING ISSUES. IT IS NOT THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO OFF SET THOSE OVERAGES. OUR PERMIT INSURANCE PROCESS SHOULD BE OVERHAULED TO ENSURE THAT ALL REQUIRED FEES ARE PAID IN A TIMELY MANNER.

>> THE SECOND IS TERRY MILL CAN, 3802 HIDDEN VALLEY CIRCLE, I HAVE BEEN A PROPERTY OWNER IN ROWLETT AND I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 40 YEARS, I HAVE SERVED AS A CITY ENGINEER ON A CONTRACT BASIS IN SEVERAL CITIES IN TEXAS. DURING THAT TIME, I HAVE NOT RUN INTO ANYTHING. WHY DOES CITY STAFF NOT RESPOND TO VALID QUESTIONS REGARDING TRAFFIC CONTROL AND SUBDIVISION DESIGN.

WHY DOES THE CITY'S CDD ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT APPROVE ENGINEERING PLANS THAT SHOW STORM WATER RUN UPHILL. WHY IS A CITY REPRESENTATIVE BEEN ALLOWED TO SUE IT'S CITIZENS BECAUSE THEY DON'T AGREE THE CITIZEN HE IS DECISION. WHY DOES THE CITY WITH HOLD PUBLIC INFORMATION FROM IT'S CITIZENS, WHY DOES THE CITY TOLERATE UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR BY IT'S REPRESENTATIVES, WHY DOES THE CITY REFUSE TO FOLLOW STATE LAWS TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS BLUFF YORE SHOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED. I'M JUST AN ORDER TAXPAYER, NOT A POLITICIAN AND I'M DISTURBED BY WHAT I WITNESSED RECENTLY. I CAN PROVIDE DETAILED DOCUMENTS OF THIS BAD BEHAVIOR IF YOU LIKE.

THE ONE TONIGHT SAYS IN ESSENCE IF THE REZONING IS APPROVED AND IT DOESN'T COMPLY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IT WILL BE REZONED. THAT SECTION SAYS ALL ZONING MUST BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO FIT THREES NO REASON TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE REZONING PROPOSED FOR THIS 170 ACRE TRUCK NORM NAIL IS A PERFECT OF THE EXAMPLE OF COMPLYING TO STATE LAW. IN ADDITION, THE CURRENT COMP PLAN SHOULD BE CONSULTED TO GET REPORTS WHETHER THE PROPOSED LAND USE CHANGE EVEN MAKES SENSE. I BEHOOVE EACH COUNCIL MEMBER TO WORK DILIGENTLY TO CHANGE THE CULTURE. MAKE ROWLETT A SIT FRIENDLY RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE OPEN GOVERNMENT.

>> SO, THAT'S OUR PUBLIC INPUT. >> (APPLAUSE).

[00:50:08]

>> I APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENT, GUYS, WE HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC SPEAKERS TONIGHT AND IF WE CLAP AFTER EACH ONE THAT WE LIKE OR DON'T LIKE, WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE ALL NIGHT. SO, AS WE MOVE INTO THAT PIECE OF T WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP ORDER SO

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

EVERYBODY GETS THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AND EVERYBODY GETTING TO HEAR. THE NEXT ITEM IS OUR CONSENT AGENDA AND COUNCIL HAS CHOSEN NOT TO REMOVE ITEMS OFFER OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. LAURA, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE READ THOSE INTO THE REGARD. 7A, CONSIDER APPROVING THE MINUTES. 7B, CONSIDER A RESOLUTION INCLUDING A CONTRACT FOR PAVEMENT ANALYSIS. 7C, CONSIDER A RESOLUTION INCLUDING DEPOSITORY AND EMERGENT SERVICES. 7 D, MOWING SERVICES. 7E CONSIDER A RESOLUTION FOR REMOVAL OF SECTION FOUR SERVICES. 7F, CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF WATER METERS. 7G, CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT.

>> THANK YOU, LAURA. DO I HAVE A MOTION?

>> COUNCILWOMAN BROWN?" >> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ALL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS AS READ INTO THE RECORD.

>> I HAVE A MOTION, DO I HAVE A SECOND?

>> COUNCIL MEMBER SHERRILL? >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A

SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION. >> PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.

The subject property is located east of the President George Bush Turnpike and north of Liberty Grove Road, situated in the James Hamilton Survey, Abstract No. 544, in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas.]

>> AND THAT ITEM CARE RAHS 6-0. NOW WE'RE ONTO OUR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. I'M GOING TO READ THE FIRST ITEM INTO THE RECORD AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER HOUSEKEEPING THINGS SO WE COULD PROGRESS THROUGH THE CITIZEN INPUT DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I'LL CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING TO ORDER AND WE'LL START

CALLING PEOPLE UP. >> ITEM 8A CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND TAKE ACTION TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE ON THE REQUEST BY MICHAEL FLOWERS, JACKSON SHAW, ON BEHALF OF A PROPERTY OWNER NATHAN E AND IDAH BUSH, GWB, CHEROKEELAND LLC, LARRY E HESTER HOMER B JOHNSON, ESTATE, JOHNSON FAMILY TRUST.

>> WE HAVE SEVERAL IN-PERSON COMMENTS AND ROUGHLY 38 E-MAIL, WRITE INS. AND SO, WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THE PUBLIC COMMENT I'M HOLDING IT TO THE STRICT 3 MINUTES, AND IF WE COULD MAINTAIN OUR CHEERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OR KIND OF KEEP SOME DECORUM SO THAT WE COULD GET THROUGH THIS AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY GETS A CHANCE TO SPEAK AND EVERYBODY GETS HEARD. OKAY.

>> SO, I'M GOING TO CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING TO ORDER, AND THE FIRST PERSON UP IS MICHAEL GALLOPS, FOLLOWED BY LOR

[00:55:05]

LORENNE DOGOWITSKY. >> MICHAEL.

>> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL, I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE

COUNCIL. >> MICHAEL GALLOPS, 5206 ST.

CHARLES DRIVE, ROWLETT TEXAS. I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON THE ROWLETT CHAMBER VISITORS CENTER IN FAVOR OF THE LAKE VIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT BEING PROPOSED. THE LAKE VIEW PROJECT BEFORE YOU IS SIMPLY PUT A PHENOMENAL PROJECT. MORE THAN 2 DECADES AGO, THE NORTH SHORE WAS PUT ASIDE TO CREATE A SHOP FOR RESIDENTS.

THE HOPE WAS THAT THIS WOULD SHIFT THE TAX BURDEN FROM HOME OTHER THANES AND RESIDENTS FROM LARGER TAX BASED. THE DEVELOPER IS A QUALITY DEVELOPER THAT DELIVERS WORLD CLASS PROJECTS.

JACKSON SHAW IS ALSO A GOOD NEIGHBOR. WHEN THEY DEVELOP IN A COMMUNITY, THEY BECOME ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THAT COMMUNITY.

JACKSON SHAW PRESERVES THE IMPACT OF NEIGHBORS AND THEY HAVE SHOWN THAT WITH THE SOUND, TRAFFIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND LIGHT STUDIES ALREADY CONDUCTED. THE LAKE VIEW BUSINESS DISTRICTS WILL BRING VITAL JOBS TO ROWLETT, MORE THAN 1,000. WITH AN AVERAGE PAY HIGHER THAN THOSE LIVING HERE AND MOVING MILES TO COMMUTE TO THEIR JOBS. THE TENANTS IN THE LAKE VIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT WILL BE PRIMARY EMPLOYERS. PRIMARY EMPLOYERS ARE INDUSTRIES THAT PRODUCE MORE GOODS AND SERVICES THAN CAN BE CONSUMED BY THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND THEREFORE EXPORT A PORTION OF THEM AND THIS WILL INCREASE REVENUE COMING INTO ROWLETT, A WIN/WIN FOR EVERYONE. THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL ACT AS A CATALYST FOR RETAIL AND RESTAURANT SERVICES THAT WE WANT FOR THE CITY OF ROWLETT. ON BEHALF OF THE BORED OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE ROWLETT AREA CHAMBER AND VISITORS CENTER, I URGE YOU TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF AGENDA ITEM 8A. ON A PERSONAL NOTE I WANT TO ADD AS A RESIDENT OF ROWLETT, I'M INTO FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT. AFTER LORI ANN IS DIANE LEMONS.

>> LORI ANN DEGOWSKI 7202 ROWLETT.

>> I'M ASKING FOR ACTION ON 8A. I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 1981. HOW SHOULD WE PUT THIS, UPSIDE DOWN, RIGHT SIDE UP?

>> I HAVE HEARD SINCE 1981 ROWLETT HASN'T HAD MUCH INDUSTRY: IN 1960, THEY DID BUILD PLACES ON GRISHAM AND GORDON SMITH. YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT THAT AREA, THAT'S OUR INDUSTRIAL AREA, WE HAVE A FEW OTHER INDUSTRIAL AREAS BUT NOT MUCH AT ALL. AND ON THESE TWO STREETS, THE BUILDINGS ARE A MISH MASH OF STYLES. IT'S NOT A PRETTY SITE OR A GOOD INDUSTRIAL AREA. JACKSON SHAW IS GIVING ROWLETT AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING OUR INDUSTRIES AND DEVELOPMENT INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. I'VE HEARD THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT LIGHTING AND TRUCK NOISE, IF LIGHTS ARE AN ISSUE, WHAT ABOUT THE SPORT'S

>> WHAT ABOUT THE SOUND BARRIER THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE THE FAUNA AND THE TREES AND BUSHES THAT LIE IN THE MUDDY CREEK AREA WILL HELP SUBDUE SOME OF THAT NOISE.

YOUR SUBDIVISION IS ABOUT 2800 FEET FROM US DEVELOPMENT OVER ONE HALF MILE.THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE GENERATING ROUGHLY HUNDRED 20 MILLION IN TAXABLE VALUE.

THAT IS GOOD FOR ALL OF ROWLETT THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD GENERATE 1 MILLION A YEAR IN TAXES FOR ALL OF ROWLET WITH A POPULATION OF 73,000 THIS WILL BE GOOD FOR ALL OF ROWLET.

[01:00:11]

I THINK MY TIME IS UP. NO, MY TIME IS NOT UP AND THE CITIZENS WHO ARE AGAINST THIS DEVELOPMENT NEED TO CHECK THE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

MAPS, BECAUSE THE LAYOUT IT TO THE LEFT OF YOUR SUBDIVISION IS IMMEDIATELY ZONED COMMERCIAL.

CHECK IT OUT. >> YOU DONE?

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> DIANE LAMENTS AND THEN SUSAN WATKINS.

>> GOOD EVENING DIANE LEMON 7409 HARBOR DRIVE AND I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF ROWLET WE HAVE ATTRACTED A SUBSTANTIAL WELL-KNOWN DEVELOPER WILLING TO INVEST IN OUR PROJECT THAT WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT INDUSTRY TO ROWLET WE CAN HAVE A BUSINESS PARK THAT CREATES JOBS FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

BACK WHEN PETE PBT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION THE CITY FOOTED THE BILL FOR AS MUCH INFRASTRUCTURE AS WE COULD AFFORD WITH THE MERIT GROWTH INTERCHANGE IN HOPES IT WOULD ATTRACT A DEVELOPER TO GROW INDUSTRY ON THE NORTH SHORE WE WERE SURPRISED TO LEARN AT THAT TIME WE WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS ROADS. WITHOUT THESE ACCESS ROADS WE WERE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO BUILD THE JOB GENERATORS THIS DISTRICT HAS BEEN ? FOR ALL THESE YEARS. ALONG THE TOLLWAY THERE ARE SURFACE ROADS AND WE HAVE VERY LITTLE ACCESS. THE ONLY ACCESS IS WHAT THE CITY PUT IN AND WE PUT IT IN HOPEFULLY ONE DAY TO GET SOMEONE TO INVEST AND HELP US MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT IS MISSING IN ROWLET WITH THIS ISSUE THE CITY PAID $9 MILLION IN PARTNERED WITH SOME GRANT MONEY ON THE FINANCIAL BURDEN TO BUILD THIS INTERCHANGE IT WAS HOPED THAT THE REST OF THE ACCESS ROADS WOULD BE DEVELOPER DRIVEN THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL DO EXACTLY THAT.

THIS DEVELOPMENT IS A WIN FOR ROWLET IT WILL TRIGGER ANCILLARY PROJECTS THAT ROWLET HAS WAITED TO SEE WE HAVE MARKETED FOR SITDOWN RESTAURANTS FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ATTRACT THESE RESTAURANTS BECAUSE WE HAVE NO INDUSTRY TO CREATE A DAYTIME OPERATION THESE BUSINESSES NEED TO SUSTAIN THEIR INDUSTRY MODELS A MAJORITY OF ADULTS LEAVE ROWLET FOR WORK DURING THE DAY.

THIS PROJECT CREATES THOSE JOBS IT WILL ALSO HELP SUSTAIN FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS SAPPHIRE BAY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HAS ALWAYS MARKETED WITH FLYERS, CONFERENCES AND OTHER OUTLETS TO ATTRACT WHAT HAS COME TO THE TABLE. IF YOU PULL UP THE WEBSITE RIGHT NOW YOU WILL SEE FLYERS DIRECTED STRATEGICALLY AT THIS TYPE OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

MANY YEARS OF HARD WORK HAS BEEN SPENT BEHIND-THE-SCENES IN HOPES THAT ONE DAY WE WOULD LAND A DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS THE TOP THREE EMPLOYERS IN ROWLET ARE THE HOSPITAL, THE CITY ADDS WALMART, 2 OF WHICH ARE TAX EXEMPT THE CITY IN THE HOSPITAL THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL CREATE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT WILL BE NOTICEABLE TO HELP WITH THE LOPSIDED TAX BURDEN FOR THE RESIDENTS. THIS IS HOW YOU LOWER TAXES WITH THE BURDEN BEING SHARED WITH COMMERCIAL TAXES. NOW I WANT TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE COMMENTS I HEARD IN THE MEETINGS FOR THIS DEVELOPER IT WAS STATED THAT THIS WOULD CAUSE TRAFFIC FOR THEM I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE TRUCKS WILL NOT BE DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY WILL NOT BE STACKING UP ON THE SERVICE ROAD AS A DEVELOPMENT IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW FOR TRUCKS TO STACK WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT AND NOT ON THE STREETS.

>> I APOLOGIZE. I'VE GOT IT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU DIANE. SUSAN WATKINS FOLLOWED BY TIM RYAN.

>> >> GOOD EVENING. SUSAN WATKINS, 6474 GREEN MUSE.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO WRAP UP. FOR HOMESTEAD. I THINK YOU MAY HAVE OUR DECK

FLIPPED. >> I JUST DID THEM IN THE ORDER THEY WERE GIVEN TO ME I APOLOGIZE.

>> CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE A THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED SUBURBAN CROSSROADS AN ATTRACTIVE GATEWAY INTO A PEACEFUL SUBURB ALSO THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED.

A WALK, A BIKE RIDE, A SHORT DRIVE TO WORK, LOCAL SHOPPING AND EXCLUSIVE DINING OPTIONS, NO NEED TO GO ELSEWHERE TO RUN YOUR ERRANDS OR CONDUCT YOUR PERSONAL BUSINESS.

THIS IS THE VISION FOR NORTH SHORE. ARE THESE CONCEPTS AND ALIGN WITH THE WAREHOUSE COMPLEX? ALONG THE ENTIRE EASTERN SECTOR OF THE OPPORTUNITY AREA? THIS VISION IS IN DANGER OF BEING BURIED UNDERNEATH 1.8 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF

[01:05:06]

WAREHOUSE SPACE WOULD OPERATE 24/7 AND WOULD AS YOU HERE TONIGHT CREATE NOISE AND TRAFFIC NUISANCES TO ALL NEIGHBORHOODS NEAR THE TOLLWAY. I WANTED TO NOTE FOR YOUR ? THAT JACKSON SHOT RECENTLY WITHDREW A SIMILAR PROPOSAL AFTER NOT RECEIVING SUPPORT FROM THE LOCAL HOA'S OR CITY COUNCIL. IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ALLEN'S CONCERNS WERE BEFORE YOU CONSIDER THIS DEVELOPMENT FURTHER. THE FORM-BASED CODE REGARDING THIS LAND CURRENTLY STATES THE WEST MUST MATCH THE EAST. DOES THIS MEAN MORE WAREHOUSES ON THE WEST SIDE? WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT? THIS PROPOSAL IS CLEARLY AT ODDS WITH THE CITY'S STATED VISION. YOU WILL HEAR A LITTLE BIT LATER FROM SOME OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE DONE A OT OF RESEARCH THEY WILL PRESENT TO YOU FACTUAL RESEARCH-BASED INFORMATION. WHAT WE ASK IS THAT YOU PLAN YOUR WORK, WORK YOUR PLAN, I AM SURE THAT IF YOU WILL CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHAT YOU HERE TONIGHT AND GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD, KISS A FEW MORE FROGS, WE CAN FIND A SOLUTION THAT WORKS FOR ALL OF US.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, SUSAN.

NEXT, TIM RYAN FOLLOWED BY GREG JOHNSTON.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I KNOW IT IS TOUGH TO BE UP THERE AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR

SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> TIM RYAN 9008 HOMESTEAD BOULEVARD. MY WIFE AND I MOVED TO DALLAS FOUR YEARS AGO.

AT THAT TIME WE LOOKED AT HOMES AROUND THE NORTH EAST DALLAS AREA.

? MANAGER A RICHARDSON SO WE WANTED IT TO BE EASY COMMUTING DISTANCE.

WE LOOKED UP IN ? ALLEN AND WILEY AND SEXY IN ROCKWALL AND WE CHOSE ROWLET FOR TWO REASONS, THERE'S EASY ACCESS TO MY OFFICE USING THE TOLLWAY AND WE REALLY LIKE THE OPEN SPACES THAT THE HOMESTEAD DEVELOPMENT PROVIDED ALONG WITH ITS PROXIMITY TO MUDDY CREEK PARK.

WE HAVE COME TO APPRECIATE OTHER ASPECTS OF ROWLET SINCE THEN.

WE HAVE BECOME CLOSE TO OUR NEIGHBORS BECAUSE OF THE SHARED OPEN SPACES THAT ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET OUT A WALK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IF I HAD SEEN ON GOOGLE MAPS AT THE FRONT DOOR AND IT IS THE FRONT DOOR TO NORTH ROWLET LIBERTY GROVE AND THE TOLLWAY WAS FULL OF HOUSES AND SEMI TRUCKS WE WOULD HAVE LOOKED ELSEWHERE.

WE WOULD NOT HAVE WANTED TO LIVE IN A PLACE WITH THE FRONT DOOR IS CONGESTED WITH SEMI TRAILERS AND UNATTRACTIVE WAREHOUSES AND ALL THE OTHER HAND IF WHAT WE HAD SEEN COMING OFF THE TOLLWAY IS WHAT IS ENVISIONED IN THE ORIGINAL NORTH SHORE ROAD PLAN WE WOULD HAVE FOUND THIS AREA MORE ATTRACTIVE. THE TOLLWAY IS A PRECIOUS LIFELINE FOR ROWLET ARTERY THAT CONNECTS US TO THE REST OF THE METROPLEX IN A WAY THAT OTHER CITIES CAN DREAM OF. PLEASE DON'T CLOG THE ARTERY AND BLOCK THAT LIFELINE WITH SEMI TRUCKS IT WILL ONLY CHOKE OFF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND REDUCE PROPERTY VALUES FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE THERE. INSTEAD, WAIT FOR A DEVELOPER WHO WILL DEVELOP THE ORIGINAL VISION THAT WILL ADD VALUE TO ROWLET AND INCREASE HOME VALUES DEVELOP THE MUDDY CREEK PARK INTO SOMETHING THE METROPLEX WILL LOOK ON WITH ADMIRATION. OUR STORY IS SIMILAR TO MANY THOUSANDS PROSPEROUS COMMUTING CITIZENS ALL OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF ROWLET WE VALUE THE ACCESS WE HAVE TO THE PG BT DON'T MAKE US REGRET CHOOSING ROWLET AS A HOME CITY BY TAKING SOMETHING WE VALUE, A QUIET CITY INCORPORATED INGESTING IT WITH LUMBAR SEMI TRUCK SPRAYED SUMMIT CRAIG JOHNSTON AND STANLEY POLLARD. SUMMIT GOOD EVENING CRAIG JOHNSTON 7313 FAIRFIELD DRIVE. THE REZONING. I'M KIND OF NERVOUS IT WILL CHANGE FROM A FORM-BASED COMMERCIAL CENTER AND A FORM-BASED URBAN VILLAGE TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR LIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT MIXED COMMERCIAL OFFICE RESIDENTIAL USE AND I AM NERVOUS.

[01:10:05]

>> YOU ARE OKAY. >> SO IF I AM UNDERSTAND REZONING WE ARE CHANGING FROM A FORM-BASED VILLAGE WHICH IS PUBLIC OPEN SPACE DESIGNATE THE MORE URBAN CLASSES POCKET PLAZA SQUARES ETC. AND INTEGRATED INTO A NETWORK OF ? SIDEWALKS, STREETS, PLANNING, AND MORE INTENSE RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SERVED BY SMALLER URBAN OPEN SPACE SUCH AS ? AND LARGER CITIES. SO BASICALLY IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR RESIDENTIAL PEOPLE. KIDS, FAMILIES, WHATEVER. WE ARE CHANGING THE REZONING AND LIGHT MANUFACTURING AND SO MANY PLANS THESE MANUFACTURING REQUIRE DIRECT ACCESS TO ? FOUR STREET TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES. THIS CAME FROM THE ROWLET DESCRIPTION ZONING DISTRICTS WE DON'T HAVE AIR AND WE DON'T HAVE RAIL, THAT JUST LEAVES 18 WHEELERS IN MY CAREER I DRIVE ALL OVER THE METROPLEX.I SEE WAREHOUSES EVERYWHERE 18 WHEELERS EVERYWHERE AND THESE ARE DESTROYED. I DON'T WANT THAT FOR ROWLET.

THESE PEOPLE DON'T WANT THAT. PLEASE RECONSIDER REZONING THIS BECAUSE WHAT YOU ALL HAVE PLAN 10 YEARS AGO WAS AWESOME IN THIS RIGHT HERE NOT SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. STANLEY POLLARD FOLLOWED BY SEAN BUTTERWORTH.

>> MAYOR PRO TEM AND CITY COUNCIL 3110 SYCAMORE STREET ROWLET TEXAS I AM HERE IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT I WAS ON THE ? AS MOST OF YOU HEARD IN 1995 WHEN THIS AREA WAS TALKED ABOUT BEING SET ASIDE FOR A BUSINESS DISTRICT AND WE CONVINCE THE CITY COUNCIL AT THE TIME IN 1996 IT HAS BEEN ON THE BOOKS EVER SINCE.

? IF IT IS THE NORTH SHORE DISTRICT OR TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH, IT IS THE SAME.

THIS PROJECT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN UP THE NORTH SHORE AREA TO BRING WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR AND LOOKED FOR FOR THESE MANY 25 YEARS AND TO HELP REDUCE THE TAX LOAD ON THE ENTIRE CITY OF ROWLET FROM MAINLY RESIDENTIAL TAXES SO I AM FOR THIS I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE BROUGHT UP MANY THINGS IN FACT I CORRESPONDED JUST TODAY WITH A GENTLEMAN THAT BELIEVES THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A TRUCK TERMINAL. IT IS NOT.

IT WAS GOING TO HAVE UP TO 210 DAYS, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT DOES NOT.

THERE'S MANY OTHER THINGS I COULD GO ON AND SAY BUT FOR THE OTHER 65,000+ OF US CITIZENS IN THIS CITY THAT MAY NOT LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST SECTOR OF THE CITY, WE NEED TAX RELIEF.

LEASE DO NOT TURN THIS THING DOWN I WILL MAKE ONE FINAL COMMENT, IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE MANY OF OUR CITIZENS HAPPY BUT YOU MAY HEAR THIS EVENING AS WE HAVE HEARD IN THE PAST THAT THIS IS GOING TO HURT PROPERTY VALUES IN THAT AREA. I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND HOW IT DOES THAT BUT A LOT OF THEM OR ALL OF THOSE SELECTED TO BUY A LOT AND BUILD A HOUSE OR BUY A HOUSE NEXT TO THE DUMP. LITERALLY ADJACENT.HE NEIGHBORHOOD IS ADJACENT TO THE JOB AND IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BOTHER THEM AND HURTING THEIR PROPERTY VALUES.

THE OTHER 65,000+ WOULD LIKE TO HAVE TAX RELIEF. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. SEAN BUTTERWORTH FOLLOWED BY JEREMY SMITH.

[01:15:03]

>> SEAN BUTTERWORTH 814 ROYAL MONTR?AL IN WATERVIEW. I WANT TO APPROACH THIS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. ONE OF THE THINGS MISSED BY THE COUNCIL FOR SURE IS THE FACT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BRING IN THIS WAREHOUSE DISTRICT.ET'S NOT CALL IT A TECHNOLOGY DISTRICT, WE WILL BRING IN THIS WAREHOUSE DISTRICT AND ONE THING WE ARE GOING TO BRING WHICH I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR, WAS THE FACT THAT 50 PERCENT WAS THE NUMBER, PEOPLE IN ROWLET MAKE LESS THAN $20 AN HOUR. WHO COULD LIVE ON THAT? BEST THE NUMBERS WE ARE GIVEN SO THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS I'M GOING WITH.

TOLD THEY WERE GOING TO BE ABOUT A THOUSAND JOBS CREATED BY THIS BUSINESS DISTRICT AND SOME ARE GOING TO PAY LESS THAN $20 AN HOUR SO WE ARE ? WHERE WERE GOING TO BRING 5 TO 700 JOBS TO OUR COMMUNITY AT A SUBSTANDARD WAGE AND HOW IS THAT GOING TO ELEVATE OUR CITY.

HOW WILL IT HELP US GROW AND PROSPER? OUR KIDS MIGHT GO WORK THEM BUT PEOPLE FROM OTHER CITIES WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE THAN US ARE GOING TO, WORK THOSE JOBS.

DO YOU THINK RESTAURANTS ARE GOING TO BUILD THEMSELVES ON THAT CORE DOOR FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO GO OUT TO LUNCH OR DINNER? WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE WITH A PIECE OF LAND ONE OF THE FEW LAST PIECES OF LAND TO DO SOMETHING MONUMENTAL FOR THE CITY. DO WE DO IT TODAY? I DON'T KNOW.

SOMETIMES KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY AND WAIT TILL THE RIGHT DEVELOPMENT COMES ALONG.

I AM NOT SAYING JACKSON IS A BAD COMPANY BUT THEY HAVE NO VESTED INTEREST.

THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE A PROFIT, THEY ARE GOING TO MOVE ON. WE WILL DO WITH THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THAT DEVELOPMENT 5 TO 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.

I NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE DON'T WAIT AND BUILD A PROPER COMMUNITY FOR THE DISTRICT THAT WILL ACTUALLY IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY POSITIVELY BRING REAL PAYING JOBS TO THIS COMMUNITY.

YOU WANT TO RAISE PROPERTY VALUES AND GET MORE PEOPLE COMING TO ROWLET.

GIVE US A JOB THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO THIS JOB MAKING 18 BUCKS AN HOUR. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE TRAVELING OVER HERE TOWARDS THOSE JOBS AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE THE CASE FOR OUR CITY. ONE THING I WILL REMIND THE COUNCIL, YOU ARE ELECTED TO DO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE ARE HERE.

>>. [APPLAUSE] I HAVE ONE LESS THING TO SAY.

COMMUNITY FIRST. THAT'S A SLOGAN OF ONE OF OUR CANDIDATES.

THE COMMUNITY IS HERE. I'D KNOW WHAT YOUR VOTE NEEDS TO BE AND I EXPECT THE REST OF

YOU TO FOLLOW SUIT AS WELL. >> THANK YOU.

[INDISCERNIBLE] TAKE A PLACE IS A COMPANY OPERATING OUT OF THE WAREHOUSE TYPICALLY WE SEE THEM UTILIZING TOLL ROADS AND MANY COMPANIES HAVE GONE AWAY FROM UTILIZING THIS DUE TO ENORMOUS COSTS THE CHANCES OF THESE UTILIZING ALL THREE IS PRETTY LOW TO THE SIZE OF THIS AND THE PROBLEM IS ? REGARDING ALL OF THE ? DUE TO A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF ? AND THE OWNER OPERATOR INDEPENDENT DRIVERS HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO UTILIZE A TOLL ROAD DUE TO THE COST. THEY ESTIMATE A DRIVER SPENDS $0.45 PER WHILE ON A TOLLROAD AND NO MATTER THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THIS WAS ESSENTIALLY ONE OF THE PROBABILITY OF DRIVING ? BASED ON THAT DATE OF THE TRUCK IS TAKING A LOT OF THE HIGHWAY SO TO ? IT IS LIKELY THIS ROUGHLY 370 SEMI TRUCKS DAILY ?

MY MY AD THAT ?. [INDISCERNIBLE] THE FIRST DIAGRAM SHOWS YOU.

[INDISCERNIBLE] A TRAP ATTEMPTED TO GET ACROSS TO LAIUS WITH ? WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT AND HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON TRAFFIC. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THIS LACK OF CLEARANCE WE WERETOLD . [INDISCERNIBLE] LOOKING AT THE SECOND DIAGRAM I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO TOUCH ON. [INDISCERNIBLE] BUT POSSIBLY ? DUE TO.

[INDISCERNIBLE] AND TRYING TO GET TO THE NEXT ? AND HERE'S THE FINAL ARGUMENT THE CITY OF ROWLET IN 2018 GIVES US A CHANCE TO TIE ? THROUGH A SYSTEM UTILIZING THE.

[INDISCERNIBLE] EXTENSION. THEY WILL NOT ANSWER HOW THE FUNCTIONING OR THIS TRAIL COINCIDED WITH THEIR PLANS BUT ON A DIZZY DOLOMITE BUSY STRETCH BY BIKE OR FOOT, WOULD

BE PRETTY LOW ?. THANK YOU. >>.

[APPLAUSE] >> THAT WAS GOOD.USTIN DAVIDSON FOLLOWED BY BRITTANY

SMITH. >> DUSTIN DAVIDSON 609 MCDONOUGH DRIVE. SO AT THE JACKSON SHOP MEETING THEY DIRECTED US TO THE LAKEVIEW BUSINESS WEBSITE. IT HAD FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND SHOWED A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS IN THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND HAVE A SECTION CALLING ABOUT TRUCK QUEUING ANALYSIS. THE ONLY REASON HE WOULD NEED THAT IS IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A WAREHOUSE THERE. IF YOU JUST DO SIMPLE MATH 2 TRUCKS A MINUTE THAT WOULD EQUAL APPROXIMATELY THE 377 TRUCKS THAT THEY ASSUME ARE COMING.

I HAVE THE 2020 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADOPTED IN 2019 THAT LISTS APPROPRIATE USES WITHIN THE NORTH SHORE AREA OF THE MIXED-USE OFFICE RETAILED OPEN SPACE, THERE'S NO MENTION OF WHERE HOUSES ANYWHERE IN THE PLAN AND AGAIN, SEE WHAT ONE OF THE GENTLEMAN SAID BEFORE, CONSISTENCY, IF THERE IS A LARGE MAKES USE OFFICE, IT HAS MAINED CONSISTENT.

HE GOTING RI? HAS BEENENENENENENENENENENENENEN AN IMPACT ANALYSIS WHICH HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET IT IS BASED OFF OF ASSUMPTIONS. THE ENGINEER TOOK THESE ASSUMPTIONS OF THE CONSTRUCTION, THE LAYOUT, THE EXIT RAMPS, AND THE WITNESS ANALYSIS THEY GAVE THEIR OPINION ON THE RESULTS. IF ANY OF THESE ASSUMPTIONS CHANGE THE OPINIONS ARE NO LONGER VALID. SO THE SAME WITH THE MODELING THEY MODEL THE NUMBER OF TRUCKS AND CARS COMING ON IN THE TIMING OF THE LIGHTS.

IF THAT CHANGES THEIR ANALYSIS IS INVALID AND ALSO THE TYPE OF WAREHOUSE INJESHOCK AND CONTROL THESE ARE GOING TO BE WHERE HOUSES AND HOW MAY TRUCKS COME IN.

THEY CAN'T CONTROL THE TRUCK DRIVERS AND THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO TOUCH ON IS SAFETY.

IF YOU HAVE 18 WHEELERS ON THE ROAD IT MAKES THEM LESS SAFE IF YOU'RE IN A CAR, WALKING, ON A BIKE, HAVING TRUCKS THERE MAKES IT LESS SAFE SO I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER VOTING NOW.

THANK YOU. >> NEXT IS BRITTANY BELK'S SMITH FOLLOWED BY CHARLES GARST.

>> BRITTANY BELK SMITH 6522 LONG GREEN STREET. AS WE JUST HEARD ABOUT THE INCREASES OF THE HUNDREDS OF TRUCKS TRAVELING OUR LOCAL STREETS AND HIGHWAYS I THINK ABOUT TE FEARS THEY MAY PRODUCE, THE FUMES ARE KNOWN AS PARTICULATE MATTER.HE EPA DEFINES THIS OR PARTICLE POLLUTION AS MIXED SOLID PARTICLE AND TRASH OBJECTS FOUND THE AIR AND THEIR MICROSCOPIC POLLUTANTS THAT WE CANNOT SEE THE MOST COMMON TYPE

[01:25:08]

ARE COMPLEX CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF SULFUR DIOXIDE AND NITROGEN GINES BEING ONE OF THE MAIN CONTRIBUTORS TO SMOG. US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ESTIMATES THE ISLAND RESULTS IN 11 MILLION ? OF CARBON MONOXIDE 55,000 TONS OF NITROGEN OXIDE AND THE USE CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE THAT CAN AFFECT THE HEALTH OF ALL OF THOSE LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO US? SERIOUS HEALTH EFFECTS ACCORDING TO THE IMPACT PARTICULAR EMISSIONS ? CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS INCLUDING ASTHMA, AND DECREASED LUNG CAPACITY REPRODUCTIVE PROBLEMS AND DEATH AND CHILDREN ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS AS THEY SPEND GREATER TIME OUTDOORS.

EXPOSURES TO CHILDREN CAN LEAD TO WHEEZING, COUGHING, AND RESPIRATORY HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS. IN ADULTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE. ? RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS INCREASING THE RISK OF MORBIDITY WITH SHORT TIME EXPOSURES AT MY THINKING ABOUT THE IMPACTS ON OUR HOUSE I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO VISUALIZE PARENTS PLAYING IN THE YARD WITH THEIR CHILDREN PEOPLE PLAYING SPORTS OF THE COMMUNITY PARK.

HOME STILTS AND THE COMMUNITY PARK WOULD BE SANDWICHED BETWEEN AN LANDFILL WITH EXPOSURE TO PARTICLE MATTER I AM NOT AN EXPERT BUT I HAVE SEEN PATIENTS WITH RESPIRATORY AND CARDIAC CONDITIONS WITH STORIES ABOUT HOW THIS CAN AFFECT THEIR ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN DAILY ACTIVITIES. NOT TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL CITY OF ROWLET, DO YOU WANT THE CITY OF ROWLET VISION, THE PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY BE JUST A PLACE TO LIVE? IF YOU VOTE TO APPROVE THIS, WE WILL JUST BE LIVING HERE. DO YOU WANT THAT FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY? IS THIS WORTH YOUR HEALTH, QUALITY OF LIFE AND TRANSFER OF VISION?

>>. [APPLAUSE] >>.

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> WE NEED YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND IF YOU WOULD SPEAK AT THE PODIUM THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>> I LIVE AT 9313 CROCKETT DRIVE IN THE HOMESTEAD COMMUNITY I WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND SHOW YOU WHAT YOU ARE BRINGING TO OUR COMMUNITY. JACKSON SHAW HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB OF SHOWING US THESE BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS WHEN YOU LOOK AT EACH ONE OF THE PROPOSALS THEY ALL SAY NOT TO SCALE AND THIS MAY CHANGE. WHEN YOU GO AND LOOK AT THE WAREHOUSES THAT THEY HAVE IN THE METROPLEX, THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING.

THEY ARE LARGE BROWN UGLY BUILDINGS THAT DON'T HAVE THE CENTRAL FOCUS POIT THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL TO US. THEY GAVE US EIGHT DIFFERENT FACILITIES AND MY WIFE AND I DROVE TO SIX OF THEM. ALL OF THEM LOOK THE SAME. THE NEWEST ONE IS IN RICHARDSON IS TWO YEARS OLD, MAYBE THREE IS THE MOST RUNDOWN OF ALL OF THE IMPERATIVES COVERED IN GARBAGE THERE ARE DONUTS IN THE PARKING LOT FROM PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND IN CIRCLES.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT WHERE THESE WAREHOUSES ARE LOCATED IN OTHER DISTRICTS THEY HAVE CREATED THEY ARE NOT IN THE SAME TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE THEY ARE NOT WHAT WE NEED WE DON'T HAVE WHAT THEY NEED. THESE PLACES ARE LOCATED IN OTHER INDUSTRIAL PARKS THERE ARE LOCATED NEAR AIRPORTS AND NONE OF THAT IS AVAILABLE HERE THIS HAS BEEN TOUCHED ON EARLIER TONIGHT SO WE ARE GOING TO BE INCREASING AND BRINGING LOTS OF SEMI TRUCKS IF YOU LOOK THROUGH SOME OF THE PICTURES I SHOWED YOU A PICTURE OF ONE OF THE BUILDINGS AND ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAD 95 BAYS ON IT FOR TRUCKS THAT HE IS NOT EVEN AS BIG AS THIS BIGGEST BUILDING THEY ARE LOOKING TO BUILD. THERE ARE OTHER FACILITIES THE LARGEST ONE A 700,000 SQUARE FEET THERE PROPOSING 1.8 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF WAREHOUSE DISTRICT IN OUR CITY. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT WILL DO TO THAT AREA?

[01:30:03]

THE OTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION IS WHAT THIS WILL DO TO THE CITY'S CRIME RATE. I WENT ONLINE AND THERE IS A CRIME RATE.ORG, THE MOST RECENT ONE I COULD FIND AND I LOOKED AT THE CRIME RATE FOR SINGLE ? ZIP CODE AND WHERE THEY ARE LOOKING TO PUT IT RIGHT NOW. WE WERE RATED A B+ IN 750893 RICHARDSON IS A B-.

THEY LAY GOT TO IRVING AND 2 IN FORT WORTH WE HAVE ISSUES KEEPING OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT STAFF AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO BRING MORE CRIME INTO OUR CITY. I URGE YOU TO TURN THIS DOWN.

VOTE NO. DO THE WILL OF YOUR CITIZENS WHO ARE HERE TONIGHT.

I MOVED HERE FROM RICHARDSON BECAUSE I FOUND THE COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD AT SUBURBAN TECHNOLOGY ?.

[INDISCERNIBLE] YOU THINK LAKEWOOD, THESE ARE, THIS AREA DICTATED ALL OF OUR DESIGN OF THE POSTWAR ERA.AND THE REASON MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS DESIGN THE WAY IT IS AND IT'S A GOOD DESIGN AND NO NEIGHBORHOOD IS MORE IMPORTANT MAGIC AND I AM I GUESS A PROPOSAL BECAUSE IT'S COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE THE ? SEVERS CONNECTIVITY AND ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE RECREATION AREAS AND THE ISSUE IS NOT ONE OF THE CITY LACKING VISION.

YOU HAVE TO DEVELOP THE FORM-BASED CODE, A LACK OF PATIENCE AND COMMITMENT AND SENDING IT THROUGH.I URGE YOU TO VOTE THIS DOWN AND WAIT FOR SOMETHING BETTER.

CIVIC FELICIA HARRIS FOLLOWED BY BILL CORNELL.

>> I AM BILL CORNELL 6414 ? STREET ROWLET. A PROUD RESIDENT OF HOMESTEAD.

FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY ABOUT WHAT I CONSIDERED THIS JOB JACKSON SHAW PROPOSED DEBACLE. ? CROSSING BACK OVER TO THE MUDDY CREEK AREA. THIS LAND IS A PORTION OF THE NORTH SHORE WHEN MY WIFE MOVED TO HOMESTEAD FROM ANOTHER LOCATION WE CHAOWLET BECAUSE WE LIKED AND HALEY DOWN THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY TO REASONABLENESS? WE WOULD HAVE LOOKED ELSEWHERE.

HIS RESIDENTIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL THAT JUST DON'T GO TOGETHER.

THIS IS OUR CITY COUNCIL AND WE WANT YOU TO SUPPORT THE BEST POSSIBLE VALUE WHICH IS NOT SUPPORTING THE WAREHOUSE PROJECT. THE PROPOSAL WAREHOUSES REPRESENTS ALMOST ANY DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE A GREATER VALUE FOR ROWLET AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. IT HAS BEEN STATED THAT THE LAKEVIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT PROPOSED VALUE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $90 MILLION. THAT IS TRUE.

[01:35:06]

BUT WHEN WE GET A GOOD DEVELOPMENTS IN THERE. IT'S GOING TO BE IS THE CITY COUNCIL DENIES THIS PROPOSAL AND ALLOWS THE LAND TO BE DEVELOPED IT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED. THESE PLAYOFFS A 79 PERCENT APPROVAL RATING FOR THE NORTH SHORE I DOUBT THIS PROPOSAL WOULD COME NEAR HAVING A HIGHER RATING.

I URGE YOU THE CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE NO ON THIS PROPOSAL IS ONLY A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY IT WILL MOVE THIS WAY. THAT AND ? SHOWS ROWLET IS UP-AND-COMING.

WE ARE ON THE CUSP OF A GREATER VALUE DEVELOPMENT THAN WAREHOUSES.

I ASK YOU TO SAVE THE FUTURE OF ROWLET AND VOTE NO. THANK YOU.

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> >> THE FUNDAMENTALS OF AUTOMATED LOGISTICS IN SELF DRIVING VEHICLES IN THE FUTURE LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE THEY WILL BE GUIDED BY TRAFFIC AND SIGNALS THAT WILL TAKE ROUTING OFF OF ANY ROUTE TO OPTIMIZE ROOTS. WE HAVE NO GUARANTEES THAT TRUCK WILLS ? TRUCK WILL ? THEY MAY TAKE SERVICE ROADS WE ALERT THE DRIVERS WENT TO TAKE A BREAK AND THEY TAKE THEIR BRAKES AND WE MONITOR THEIR MOVES. WE CANNOT EXPECT THEM TO STAY ON THE ROUTE THAT WE DESIGNED FOR THEM ON THE BEST ROUTE THAT WILL GIVE US THE MOST MONEY FOR OUR BUCKET OPERATION. AND I LIVE HERE WITH MY SIGN IN 2 DOGS AND THE APPRECIATION HELPS SHOW THE BEAUTY OF THIS CITY HOWEVER I FEEL THAT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TAKES EVERYTHING AWAY. IT TAKES WAY PARKS, PUBLIC SAFETY, EVEN EARTH APPRECIATION DAY. SOMEONE MENTIONED THERE ARE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS ONE OF THE CLOSEST ONES AND PARK NORTHEAST.THOSE I URGE YOU TO GO VISIT THERE IS NOTHING OF THAT SORT. THERE IS NO, FRIENDLY LOCATIONS.THERE IS NO POLLINATOR GARDEN. WHEN HE CREEK IS A COMMUNITY PARK DEVELOPMENT MAXIMIZES VALUE THIS TALK ABOUT MAXIMIZING VALUE. ? NORTHEAST PROVIDES $538,000 PER ACRE OF VALUE OPEN SPACE MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT PRODUCES $1.38 MILLION PER ACRE SO WHY DON'T WE MAXIMIZE THE VALUE FOR THIS LAND AND I URGE YOU TO VOTE NO ON JACKSON SHAW BECAUSE IT IS A NO VALUE DEVELOPMENT BUT I URGE YOU TO TAKE TIME AND EVALUATE OTHER OPTIONS TO MAXIMIZE VALUE DEVELOPMENT WE WANT THE MOST FOR OUR COMMUNITY ITS LAND AND PEOPLE IN THE BEST IS NOT WHAT THE PROPOSAL IS EACH MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN WHO WANTS THE BRIGHTEST FUTURE I WOULD URGE YOU TO CALL UPON US AND TAKE OUR INPUT VERY STRONGLY TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL FUTURE FOR OUR CITY.

MY NAME IS BRIAN. [INDISCERNIBLE] I LIVE IN ROWLET I AM WITHHOLDING MY ADDRESS BECAUSE I'M A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR AND HAVE BEEN FOR THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR 22 YEARS. AND I BRING THAT UP NOT JUST TO WITHHOLD MY ADDRESS BUT I AM A RESIDENT OF ROWLET. BUT I BRING THAT UP BECAUSE OF THAT TIME 22 YEARS, I'VE SEEN MOST OF THAT TIME IN FINANCIAL CRIME SO I WILL SPEAK ON THAT TODAY.

AND I AM NOT SAYING WHAT'S GOING ON IS CRIMINAL BUT WE HAVE A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE.

[01:40:03]

HAVE WORKED FRAUD, MORTGAGE THEFT, IDENTITY THEFT, IT RUNS THE GAMUT BUT WHAT I HAVE SEEN THOSE 22 YEARS THOSE FINANCIAL DECISIONS HAVE A LASTING IMPACT THAT CAN AFFECT INDIVIDUALS FOR YEARS. FAMILIES FOR YEARS AND COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ON TONIGHT THE CURRENT VOTERS SUPPORTED A MULTIUSE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THE DEVELOPMENT IGNORES THE PARK I HUNDRED AND 71 ACRES.

[INDISCERNIBLE] OF CONCRETE WALLS THESE BUILDINGS WILL PRODUCE $563,000 PER ACRE JUST LIKE THE ? A SIMPLE ? WOULD PRODUCE VALUE PER ACRE WITHOUT TAX ABATEMENTS.

EVEN IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WILL PRODUCE MORE THAN DOUBLE THE VALUE FOR ROWLET IN THIS WAREHOUSE COMPLEX. THE CORE FINANCIAL DECISIONS DON'T HAPPEN IN A VACUUM.

WE ALL KNOW THIS. THE DECISION WILL FEEL THE IMPACT OF I URGE YOU TO VOTE NO FOR THE JACKSON SHAW PROPOSAL. THANK YOU.

>>> JANICE CORNELL AND KEVIN NICHOLS. MIGHT JANICE CORNELL 6413.

[INDISCERNIBLE] HERE IN ROWLET THIS PROPOSAL BY JACKSON SHAW I BELIEVE IS NOT A REAL BENEFIT FOR ROWLET THEY TELL US ZERO VERSUS 90 MILLION BUT I BELIEVE IT IS NOT THAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT THE CURRENT NORTH SHORE MASTER PLAN AND I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE LOOKED AT IT WHEN I TOOK A DEEP LOOK AT IT I WAS SURPRISED AND AMAZED AT THE GOOD DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE GET HALF. THAT PLAN WAS PUT TOGETHER BY A HARD-WORKING COMMITTEE IT WAS MODEL FOR MULTI USE THAT WILL PRODUCE 3 TO 10 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF THE 90 MILLION.

ROWLET IS JUST A STEP AWAY FROM GETTING THIS AREA DEVELOPED AS ORIGINALLY PLANNED IF YOU LOOK ON GEORGE BUSH THE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE SLOWLY COME TOWARDS ROWLET.

LIBERTY GROVE ? GROW OVER THE NEXT AREAS THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED.

WE HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT IN THE NORTH SHORE AREA.

LET'S WORK HARD TO KEEP THIS VISION TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR THE CITIZENS OF ROWLET.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE ? WATERS CREEK OFF OF 75 THERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD BE BETTER THAN HAVING WAREHOUSES IN THIS AREA. I KNOW THAT WE LOVE TO GO EAT, WALK, SHOP, THINK OF THE DOLLARS THAT WE COULD KEEP RIGHT HERE IN ROWLET IF WE WOULD JUST DEVELOP THIS NORTH SHORE ? THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST LEON LEFT I HEARD ? WE ARE

GOING TO PUT WAREHOUSES ON IT. >> WHEN I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PROPOSAL WITH OTHERS IN ROWLET AND NOT JUST IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THEY ARE AMAZED WE DON'T HAVE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE SIGNS THE CITIZENS DEVELOPMENT CAN BE DEVELOPED.

EACH ONE OF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP THE VISION IN PLACE.

VOTE NO I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SAVE THE FUTURE OF ROWLET.

WE TALKED ABOUT WAGES AND HOW WE WITHOUT MONEY SPENT HERE THE JOBS THEY WILL CREATE OUR LOW-PAYING JOBS AND ANYONE TAKING LIST WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. CONCRETE, POLLUTION, TRAFFIC AND NOISE AND IT WILL CREATE A MODEST 563,000 ?

WE MOVED TO HOMESTEAD ABOUT A YEAR AND AND A HALF AGO AFTER TWO OR THREE YEARS OF LOOKING FOR THAT LAST PLACE TO LIVE. WE ARE IN OUR LATE 70S AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE ONE MORE MOVE. I MOVED FROM MESQUITE HAVING LIVED THERE FOR 44 YEARS SO THREE TERMS ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND I HAVE MOVED FROM MESQUITE TO GET AWAY FROM THE MULTITUDES OF WAREHOUSING DEVELOPMENTS BEING BUILT CLOSE TO MY HOME WITH MORE OF THESE PROJECTS STILL ON THE TABLE AS THE CITY CONTINUES TO WASTE OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE HIGHER VALUE PROJECTS TO THE CITY.

AND CHASING THOSE ELUSIVE TAX DOLLARS THAT WE HEARD ABOUT THAT WERE GOING TO COME BUT THEY NEVER MATERIALIZED THANKS TO ALL OF THE ABATEMENTS. AND WE DENIED MANY OF THESE PROJECTS BECAUSE WE FELT IT WAS NOT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF PTHE LAND BUT WE WERE OVERRULED AND NOW ALL THE VALUABLE LAND IS GONE MESQUITE IS DONE THEY CAN PUT A FORK IN IT.

THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT LITTLE BITS AND PIECES OF LAND PNOBODY WANTS AND BACK IN ROWLE RALEIGH STARTED LOOKING I SUGGESTED ONE PLACE AND HE WOULD SAY THAT WE CAN FIND SOMETHING BETTER. I WOULD SUGGEST A PLACE AND WE WOULD SAVE MY WE CAN FIND SOMETHING BETTER. WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD COMPROMISE AND TAKE SOMETHING AND WE BOTH SAID MALLORY LOOKED UP IN THE METROPLEX AND WE SAID WE CAN FIND SOMETHING BETTER WE FOUND HOMESTEAD ONE DAY BY ACCIDENT AS WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE COMMUNITY AND WE BOTH LOOKED DOWN AT THE SAME TIME AND WE SAID THIS IS WHERE WE WANT TO GO AND I AM ASKING YOU TONIGHT TO CONSIDER THE PROPOSAL BY JACKSON SHAW MAY SEEM ON THE SURFACE A GREAT YES OPPORTUNITY FOR ROWLET BUT IT TURNS OUT TO BE ONE OF THE LOWEST VALUE DEVELOPMENTS BASED ON THE TYPE

THAT'S $538,000 PER ACRE.

A LAKEVIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT PROPOSAL IS 171 ACRES EIGHT BUILDINGS, 1.8 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF CHEESY PUFF NOTHINGNESS AND CONCRETE BUILDINGS IT WILL HAVE HAD APPROXIMATED VALUE ON THE COUNTY RECORDS OF 90 MILLION OR 563,000 AN ACRE. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAT CAN BE DONE WITH ROWLET. OUR VISION STATEMENT ON THE WALL TALKS ABOUT HAVING QUALITY NEIGHBORHOODS. IT TALKS ABOUT THE ABILITY TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY TOGETHER THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MEETS THOSE REQUIREMENTS MANY PEOPLE WOULD SAY IT WOULD BE AWARD-WINNING, LET'S BUILD IT. THE STATION IS ON THE NEXT EXIT.

THIS COMING THIS WAY. PEOPLE ARE SAY THERE'S NO DEVELOPERS OUT THERE THEY ARE STARTING TO COME WE HAVE THE DEVELOPMENTS COMING OUR WAY WE HAVE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVEN IF YOU DON'T LEVERAGE THE MULTI USE AREA THAT'S THEY ARE, BUILD A SIMPLE NEIGHBORHOOD A NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE HOMESTEAD OR WATERVIEW HOMESTEAD, 200 ACRES, 600+ HOMES HAS AN ESTIMATED TAX VALUE IN DALLAS COUNTY F $255 MILLION. THIS IS THE TYPE OF VALUATION WE WANT YOU TO BUILD IN ROWLET 1.2 MILLION PER ACRE. THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN DALLAS TOLD HILLWOOD DEVELOPMENT NO HONOR WAREHOUSES, CHOOSE NEIGHBORHOODS.

LITTERED WITH LOADING DOCKS IN 18 WHEELERS. I HAVE SAT THROUGH THE PRESENTATION SEVERAL TIMES WE VISITED SEVERAL COMMUNITIES IN WHAT WAS PRESENTED IN WHAT WE ENDED UP SEEING WERE QUITE DIFFERENT AND THEN WE MOVE ON THE FACT IS THIS IS NEVER WRITTEN THE VISION FOR THIS COMMUNITY.ILL WE BE A WAREHOUSE DISTRICT, WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF TRUCKS DAILY CLOGGING OF THE ROADWAYS OR WILL WE HAVE A SMALL DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR OUR COMMUNITY?

THANK YOU. >> KELLY?

DOES ANYONE KNOW KELLY? >> KAREN DONNELLY?

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS KAREN DONNELLY I RESIDE AT 4600 HICKOK ROAD IN THE NORTH SHORE. AM HERE THIS EVENING IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST OF THE ZONING CHANGE.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO START BY SAYING A FEW SPEAKERS THAT HAVE SPOKEN BEFORE ME HAVE ASKED THAT YOU NOT TAKE AWAY THE REASON THEIR FAMILY CHOSE TO MOVE TO ROWLET.

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT YOU ARE TAKING AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ALMOST LAND? THE CITY DOES NOT ALMOST LAND. CONSIDER THAT. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE LIVED ON HICKOK ROAD FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS AND OUR PROPERTY IS LANDLOCKED ON TWO SIDES BY ONE OF THE GROUPS OF LANDOWNERS AND ON THE THIRD SIDE BY ANOTHER LANDOWNER OF ROWLET WHEN I FIRST SAW THE SIGN FOR SALE, THE FOR SALE SIGN GOING UP I WAS UPSET AND FEARFUL OF WHAT WAS TO COME. I SHARED MY CONCERNS WITH MY HUSBAND AND HE ASKED ME, WHAT GIVES US THE RIGHT TO TELL OUR NEIGHBORS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN'T DO WITH THEIR PROPERTY? AND I AM SURE YOU ARE GOING TO SAY THAT'S WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS HERE FOR BUT THE POINT I AM

[02:00:02]

TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT YOU ARE ASKING YOU THE AUDIENCE ARE ASKING COUNCIL TO TAKE AWAY FROM A FAMILY THAT HAS ONLY PROPERTY FOR OVER THREE GENERATIONS.

SO I ASKED THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS ZONING CHANGE.

>> YOU GUYS GOT TO SPEAK. MAKE DONNELLY?

>> MAKE DONNELLY ? A COCKROACH, ROWLET.

>> OKAY. THIS IS MY LIFE AND WE HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 26 YEARS I'M WE HAVE WATCH THE CITY GO FROM MY TWO LANE ASPHALT ROAD TO OTIS TODAY.

AND ALL OF THE HARD WORK TO MAKE IT LIKE THAT. I AM PARTICULARLY PROUD OF IT.

WITH THE 190 HERE IT'S INEVITABLE THAT LAND WILL GET BUILT ON.

ROWLET HAS A PLAN FOR THIS AREA THAT GOES BACK MANY YEARS THAT'S RELEVANT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WAS THIS FOR THE NORTH SHORE. THIS IS A ZONING CHANGE MEETING TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEXT STAGE OF THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT. UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SOME WHO DO NOT WANT THIS TO OCCUR. I HAVE PERSONALLY WALKED IN AND DRIVEN THE ENTIRE ACREAGE OVER THERE.I DON'T SEE THE RESISTANCE AS THERE IS A WOODED AREA AND A CREEK BETWEEN THE PROPERTY AND THE DEVELOPMENT PERIOD OF THE HOUSE WAS UP THERE.

I DO FEEL THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE NEGATIVE INFORMATION.

IF ONE THING WE HAVE LEARNED, SAYING IT OFTEN ENOUGH DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE.

I URGE THE COUNCIL TO ALLOW FOR A DASH OF MANY ITEMS THAT MAY NOT BE CORRECT.

AND ON ANOTHER NOTE LET'S THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE LAND.

THE SAME PEOPLE WHO GAVE UP THE CENTER OF THEIR LAND FOR THE TOLLWAY STOP THEM FROM DOING WHAT THEY NORMALLY DID SO THEY GAVE THAT UP TO A DEGREE. AND NO DOUBT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY EMINENT DOMAIN. SO I THINK THEY HAVE A SAY IN WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR LAB AFTER PROBABLY NEARLY 10 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP AND HARD WORK. SO LET'S REMEMBER I STOOD HERE BECAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST MEME OR SECOND NAMELY AND ? THE WAY THEY CAME OUT SO I HAVE LISTENED TO ALL OF THIS IN THE CONVERSATION IS ABOUT WHAT WE SHOULD DO WITH THIS LAND.

IT'S NOT OUR LAND. WHENEVER GOING TO GIVE SOME RESPECT TO THAT PART OF IT?I UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE ZONING THING AND I GET ALL THAT BUT I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A LONG TIME AND I HAVE WATCHED IT GO FROM ASPHALT ROAD TO CONCRETE TO WHAT IT IS NOW.

WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF IT. IT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THESE LINES OF ? KINDS OF MEETINGS.

THIS IS HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE WE SHOULD BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF IT JUST BECAUSE YOU OWN A HOUSE IN A DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT HAPPENS.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SHANE SHEPPARD. DID YOU SPEAK ALREADY? I GOT MIXED UP AND AFTER SHANE IS RYAN KILL.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME MY NAME IS SHANE SHEPPARD CHIN 417 BROADMOOR LANE PRAYED ROWLET.

A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN SAID ALREADY THAT I WAS GOING TO SPEAK ON TONIGHT BUT A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS THAT WERE ALSO SPOKEN ABOUT EVEN RECENTLY WAS THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TELL A LANDOWNER WHAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WITH THEIR LAND I FEEL A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY ABOUT THAT IF IT AFFECTS MY PROPERTY AND OTHER PROPERTIES IN THAT AREA I HAVE DONE RESEARCH SHOWING THIS TYPE OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN DECREASE PROPERTY VALUES AS MUCH IS 25 PERCENT.WE HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER RESIDENTS HERE MYSELF INCLUDED, THAT IF THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT WAS TO BE HERE BEFORE THEY BOUGHT, THEY PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE.

[02:05:12]

I THINK THIS SPEAKS VOLUMES TO IT BEING SOME SORT OF NEGATIVE CONNOTATION TO OUR PROPERTY VALUES IN THE ADJACENT AREA WITH THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE BUYING INTO WE THOUGHT WE WERE LOOKING AT A MIXED USE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT EVEN WHEN I PURCHASED IN THAT AREA FOUR YEARS AGO I HAVE BEEN IN ROWLET FOR 10 YEARS AND KNOWING WHAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT WAS COMING, KNOWING WHAT WAS EXPECTED WITH THE LIBERTY GROVE INTERCONNECT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A MEMBER OF THIS COUNCIL THAT LIBERTY GROVE INTERCONNECT FOUR YEARS BEFORE IT STARTS CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE A TON OF TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA I AM A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER AND I CAN TELL YOU FOR ? ASIDE FROM THE TRAFFIC THIS WILL CREATE THE TRAFFIC THIS WILL CREATE FROM 18 WHEELERS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IS BEYOND THE NUMBERS THAT ARE LISTED AND WE DEAL WITH TRAFFIC ALONG LIBERTY GROVE ONTO BUSH, OFF OF EACH OF EVERY DAY LESS THE MOST TRYING PIECE OF RULE STATE THE CITY HAS TO OFFER. WITH THIS ACCESS IN EVERY DIRECTION BETTER THAN 66 BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PIECE OF LAND THAT WE EVER HAD TO OFFER AND

WITHOUT I RELINQUISH MY TIME. >>. [APPLAUSE]

>> RYAN HILL AND IF YOU HAVE CARDS IN YOUR FILLING THEM OUT PLEASE SEND THEM IN TO OUR SECRETARY AND WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET IN THE QUEUE.

>> MY NAME IS RYAN HILL 9301 LAMAR STREET I HAVE LIVED IN ROWLET FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS AND I WILL OVER HE EMPHASIZED A COUPLE OF THE POINTS THE OTHER MEMBERS HAVE MADE THE FIRST IS THE DISPARITY BETWEEN WHAT JACKSON SHAW HAS TOLD US THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE GOING TO BE REACH OUT ? REALITY OF WHAT THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENTS ARE. THEY'VE GIVEN THE CITY OF OPTIMISTIC PICTURE OF HOW THEY USE ARE GOING TO FUNCTION AT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK LIKE BUT THE DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS THEY ARE CLAIMING.

WE VISITED THE DEVELOPMENTS FOR THEY ARE ALLOWED, THEY ARE DIRTY.

THERE IS GARBAGE AND LANDSCAPING HAS BEEN NEGLECTED. IT'S WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT WHERE AESTHETICS AND PRESENTATION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VALUE OF THOSE BUSINESSES ARE GENERATING AND THE SECOND IS A FINANCIAL PUBLICATIONS ON MY COSTS THAT COME ALONG WITH THEM. JACKSON SHAW IS PROPOSING A WAREHOUSE DISTRICT CONSISTING OF 198 ACRES OF LAND WHICH WILL ADD $190 MILLION AND WHILE THIS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT RIGHT DOWN THE STREET HOMESTEAD THAT LIBERTY GROVE IS 191 ACRES AND ? IN VALUE AND AN EXTENSION SIMILAR TO THE PROPOSED ZONING GUIDELINES PUT FORTH BY THE CITY AND IT WILL MASSIVELY OUTDO THE PROPOSAL AND ANY KIND OF TAX BENEFITS ARE ? THERE SIMPLY ZERO JUSTIFICATION FOR PUTTING IN PLACE A DEVELOPMENT THAT THE COMMUNITY REJECTS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT WILLING TO WAIT TO GET THIS RIGHT THIS IS IMPORTANT NOT ONLY TO THE CITIZENS OF WATERVIEW HOMESTEAD IN NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THIS IS A PIVOTAL DECISION AND SETTING AND DESIGNING THE PRINCIPLES AND PHILOSOPHIES WERE WHAT WE WANT THE CITY TO GROW INTO. DO WE WANT ROWLET TO BE A HAVEN FOR LOUD, UNSIGHTLY AND MONETARILY UNPRODUCTIVE LONG-HAUL WAREHOUSES OR DO WE WANT TO BE PATIENT, GET THIS RIGHT AND CREATE A CITY THAT IS SUPPORTED BY SERVES THE INTERESTS OF THE CITIZENS OF ROWLET? THANK YOU.

>>. [APPLAUSE] TO MAKE THE NEXT SPEAKER, TERRY, I READ YOUR, CENSURE THE RECORD THAT YOU EMAILED. I GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT WAS PART OF THE EMAIL?

>>. [INDISCERNIBLE].

>> AFTER TERRY WILL BE BRIAN NOR FOLK. SWIMMING ? HIDDEN VALLEY CIRCLE AND I AM NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE LAND USE OR ANYTHING ELSE PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS

[02:10:06]

PROJECT IS A BIG PROJECT AND ITS CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE AND IT DOESN'T AFFECT ME PERSONALLY EXCEPT IN A COUPLE OF AREAS. AND I AM NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE LEGALITY OF HOW YOU'RE GOING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN TO SAY IT'S CLEAR TO ME THAT THE METHODOLOGY YOU ARE USING IS ILLEGAL. I WON'T GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT.

I THINK I MADE THAT CLEAR BEFORE. WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS THE INTERSECTION DESIGN AT MERRITT ROAD AMBUSH AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE LENGTH OF THE RAMPS AND OFF RAMPS. THESE RAMPS DID NOT MEET ? STANDARDS.

THEY ARE TOO SHORT. THE OFF RAMPS IN PARTICULAR REQUIRE A TRUCKER WHEN I COME OFF OF THE HIGHWAY IS 60 MILES AN HOUR, TO USE THEIR BRAKES. I THINK EVERYBODY HAS HEAD A ? BREAK SOUNDS LIKE A BIG PART YOU COULD HEAR IT ALL OVER THE END OF TOWN.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT YOU WILL HAVE GOING ON IF YOU APPROVE APPROVE THIS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THAN THAT IT TAKES 3000 FEET TO BRING A TRUCK FROM A DEAD STOP UP TO 60 MILES AN HOUR TO GET ON THE FREEWAY AND THAT IS IF THE GRADES ARE LEVEL.

THESE GRADES THAT WE HAVE ARE UPHILL.O WHEN YOU CALCULATE 1100 FOOT LONG RAMPS AND YOU CALCULATE THE SPEED THESE TRUCKS ARE ENTERING ? 30 MILES AN HOUR.AN YOU IMAGINE? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE REWRITTEN COLLISIONS, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ACCIDENTS, ARE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE INJURED HAVE PEOPLE KILLED.

NOW, IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THESE MODIFICATIONS, AND THAT IS GREAT. IF IT IS IN TBA, THAT'S FINE IF IT'S TEXAS DOT, THAT'S NOT WHAT I KNOW. IF IT'S GOING TO BE A DEVELOPER, THAT'S FINE.

BUT IF IT'S GOING TO BE A TAXPAYER, THAT'S NOT FINE. AND MY CHILDREN AND MY WIFE AND MY GRANDCHILDREN GO DOWN THIS FREEWAY AND YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE RAMPS AND THEY ARE INJURED OR KILLED, I AM GOING TO BE HIGH RATES LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD MAY BE IRATE BEFORE. THINK ABOUT THIS. JOE JONES, DON'T LEAP BEFORE

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

>>. [APPLAUSE] >> OUR LAST IN PERSON SPEAKER

IS BRIAN NOR FOLK. >> THANKS CITY COUNCIL.

1810 AMBROSE DRIVE ROWLET TEXAS I HAD NOT PLANNED ON SPEAKING TONIGHT.

PAMELA, BRIAN, NICE TO SEE YOU ALL BUT I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T ADDRESSED.

MY WIFE AND I MOVED TO ROWLET AND 95 STRICTLY BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY LIVABLE FRIENDLY WELCOMING CITY. AND I HAVE ENJOYED THE PARKS OF EVERYTHING HERE SO THE THING THAT I THINK HAS NOT BEEN TALKED ABOUT VERY MUCH IS IN MY FORMER LIFE I WORKED FOR A TRUCKING COMPANY AND THINGS HAPPEN IN TRUCKING COMPANIES THAT AREN'T REALLY IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT PLAN DIESEL FUEL ACCIDENTALLY MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE RIVER GREASE PITS SHOW UP OUTSIDE OF THE FACILITIES HAD AN OPEN FIELD SOMEWHERE SO YOU ALL I KNOW THERE'S PROBABLY ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE AND YOU HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT ALL OF THAT IS GOING TO BE FINE I AM HERE DISABLED.IT DOES. AND IT HAPPENS VERY INSIDIOUSLY. JUST LITTLE BITS HERE AND THERE LITTLE BIT OF STUFF IN THE ROWLET CREEK AND WHEN IT HAPPENS IT IS DONE. SO CONSIDER CAREFULLY WHAT YOU

[02:15:07]

ARE ABOUT TO VOTE ON. THANK YOU.

>>. [APPLAUSE] >> ONE MORE WILLIAM.

[INDISCERNIBLE]. >>.

[APPLAUSE] >> SUMMIT GOOD EVENING I AM WITH ARCADIA REALTY THE DEVELOPERS OF HOMESTEAD LIBERTY GROVE LYONS PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

I USED TO BE AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPER. I VISITED EVERY SINGLE PROPERTY WE WERE ASKED TO VISIT I WAS MORE DISTRESSED AFTER I DID THAT A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS OUR RESIDENTS HAVE TAKEN HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED BUT THE BOTTOM LINE NO ONE IS GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS BECAUSE IT'S BEAUTIFUL OR ITS ENVIRONMENTALLY POSITIVE ARE BECAUSE IT'S QUIET NO ONE WILL VOTE FOR BECAUSE IT WILL DIMINISH TRAFFIC THE REASON ANYONE WILL VOTE FOR THIS IN ANY ONE OF THOSE IS A REASON TO VOTE THIS DOWN BUT ANYONE WILL VOTE FOR THIS BECAUSE OF THE OF ECONOMIC ? POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE AND SO WE HAVE HEARD A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT THE ASSESSED TAX VALUE AND WAGES ARE GOING TO BE EARNED AND WHAT KIND OF JOBS ARE CREATED WHAT IS THE INCANDESCENT CITY FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE OR DON'T LIVE THERE, ONE OF THE MULTIPLIER EFFECTS ON PROPERTY VALUES?N LOCAL RETAIL? THE GOOD NEWS IS THE CITY OF ? HAS THE ORIGINAL FORM-BASED CODE AND THEN MORE RECENTLY, THE 2019 UPDATE.

THOSE ECONOMISTS ARE WELCOME ? AND THEY MODEL THIS AREA VERY SPECIFICALLY THEY MODEL THAT MOST RECENTLY IN THREE SEPARATE SCENARIOS THOSE THREE SCENARIOS HAVE STATED INPUT AND OUTPUT THAT I JUST MENTIONED AND I SUGGEST AS LONG AS WE ARE ONLY VOTING FOR THIS BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT WE SHOULD TAKE THE ECONOMISTS THAT HAVE VOTED THIS AREA AND ASKED THEM TO RUN AN OBJECTIVE FOR SCENARIO WHICH WOULD INCLUDE TAX VALUE, WAGE DENSITY, INCOME DENSITY AND IMPACTS ON RETAIL SALES AND PROPERTY TOTALLY OBJECTIVE HIM THE ONLY REASON HE WOULD VOTE FOR THIS ARE THE ECONOMIC OUTPUTS LET'S HAVE THE PEOPLE YOU HAD MEASURE THEM MEASURE THIS AGAINST THE BASELINE. I MUST AGREE AS A DEVELOPER IS GOING TO BE SPECTACULAR THIS IS THE OTHER FRONT DOOR OF THE STATION IS ACTUALLY RATHER POORLY DOWN THE FORM-BASED CODE WITH THE STAFF YOU HAVE WIL HAVE A MUCH BETTER OUTCOME AND I BELIEVE IT IS MEASURABLE AND EITHER SET WILL BE ABLE TO DELIVER OBJECTIVE QUANTITATIVE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING ASKED TONIGHT. THANK YOU.

>>. [APPLAUSE] >> THAT COMPLETES THE IN PERSON COMMENTS WE PROBABLY HAVE 30 MINUTES OR MORE OF READING EMAIL COMMENTS SO WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK BECAUSE I NEED SOME WATER SO WE WILL RECESS FOR 10 MINUTES

THIS LETTER IS BEING WRITTEN TO SHOW FULL SUPPORT FOR THE ZONING REQUEST BEING MADE BY JACKSON SHAW IS MY OPINION THIS COULD HAVE MANY BENEFITS FOR OUR COMMUNITY BY WRITING THIS TO THE LAKEVIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT IT WOULD MAKE GOOD USE FOR THIS LAND IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE NORTH SHORE VISION IT WOULD INCREASE THE TAX BASE WITH MINIMAL REQUIREMENT HELP KEEP THE TAX BASE LOWER THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BRING JOBS AND PROVIDE OFFICE SPACE HAS A LIFELONG RESIDENT TO SOMEONE WHO LOVES OUR COMMUNITY THIS DEVELOPMENT SEEMS TO BE THE BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR KEEPING TRAFFIC TO A MINIMUM ENCOURAGING GROWTH AND EMPLOYMENT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN THIS MATTER I HOPE TO FIND YOUR SUPPORT IN YOUR IMPROVEMENT OF THE REQUEST.

PLEASE NOTE I AM AGAINST REZONING THIS PARCEL OF LAND WHEN LAWS ARE ON THE BOOKS PROHIBITING SUCH ACTIONS I WOULD ENCOURAGE OUR LEADERSHIP TO LOOK FOR REWARDING DEVELOPMENTS WITH LESS INCREASES IN POLLUTION NOISE TRAFFIC AND SAFETY CONCERNS GIVE BACK TO TEXANS AND CONSIDER ? IN THE FUTURE AND DALE FISHER MY COMMUNICATIONS TO MAKE SURE YOU DECLINE THE REZONING REQUEST AND ? TRUCK TERMINAL AND THE CITY COUNCIL HAS NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE CITY COUNCIL HAS ALLOWED HIGH DENSITY LIVING QUARTERS TO DETERIORATE OUR ONCE BEAUTIFUL CITY TRAFFIC PATTERNS ARE CONGESTED AND ROADS ARE TORN TO PIECES THESE REQUESTS HAVE RECEIVED MUCH OBJECTION FROM THE CITIZENS OF ROWLET THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED AND PAID FOR RESIDENTS AND WE TRUST THAT YOU WOULD REPRESENT OUR WISHES ACCORDING TO THIS PLAN WE ARE FINDING TIME AND TIME AGAIN YOU HAVE NOT HELD OUR TRUST AS TIME THE CITY COUNCIL PUSHED CITIZENS AND WE CANNOT ALLOW ANOTHER REQUEST TO BE APPROVED AGAINST OUR PLAN FOR THE CITY PLEASE ENSURE YOU VOTE NO TO DECLINE THIS ZONING REQUEST. SHIMEK SUSAN WATKINS ROWLET I AM OPPOSED TO THE CURRENT PROPOSAL FROM EIGHT WAREHOUSES THAT WOULD TAKE UP THE ENTIRE EASTERN'S TEXTURE.

AND PROMOTE THE GROWTH OF UPSCALE RETAIL MAJOR COMPANIES AND RESTAURANTS USED CONSISTENTLY THESE ARE CONCEPTS THAT DO NOT ALIGN WITH THE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE COMPLEX AS PER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 76.9 PERCENT OF RESIDENTS BELIEVE THE CURRENT VISION FOR THE STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY AREAS APPROPRIATE FOR THE FUTURE PLEASE ADHERE TO THE PLAN THE CITY HAS WORKED HARD ON WHY HAVE A PLAN ANY ZONING REGULATIONS IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW IT. PLEASE GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD ON THIS MAY BE JACKSON SHAW CAN PUT STRUCTURES UP BY THE LANDFILL IF THIS IS TRULY NEEDED PLEASE LOOK AT MORE BALANCED OPTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT LIES WITH YOUR VISION, I ASK YOU DO NOT APPROVE JACKSON SHAW'S REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY. SHIMEK SUSAN KIRBY, ROWLET I AM WRITING TO EXPRESS MY FULL SUPPORT. ADD AS A LIFELONG RESIDENT I AM CONFIDENT THEY PROPOSED URBAN INDUSTRIAL PARK WILL ? NEW BUSINESSES AND SPUR ECONOMIC

[02:25:17]

GROWTH IN OUR CITY SOMETHING WE DESPERATELY NEED I UNDERSTAND THE PROPOSED SITE IS PART OF THE NORTH SHORE DISTRICT AN AREA DESIGNATED FOR COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY MORE DEVELOPMENT WILL HELP RELIEVE THE UNDUE TAX BURDEN BY INCREASING THE COMMERCIAL TAX BASE THE BUSINESS DISTRICT WILL BRING JOBS AND PROVIDE OFFICE WAREHOUSE SPACE THEY CAN SUPPORT THE LOCAL REGIONAL AREA. JACKSON SHAW'S AN ESTABLISHED DEVELOPER THAT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO ROWLET IN AN AREA RIGHT NEXT TO THE PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH FREEWAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION I RESPECTFULLY RESPECT THAT YOU APPROVE THE REQUEST.

>>> DONNA HALE I ? LAWS IN PLACE FOR THESE TYPE OF SHENANIGANS PLEASE KEEP OUR CITY AS IT IS. STEVE ?. [INDISCERNIBLE] IS A LIFELONG RESIDENT I HAVE WATCHED OUR COMMUNITY GROW CONTINUOUSLY FROM COLLECTION OF A FEW THOUSAND TO THE CITY IT IS TODAY I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THOSE WHO HAVE MANAGE THE PROCESS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP I WISH TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LAKEVIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT THE ALTERNATIVE TO GROWTH IS STAGNATION ALTHOUGH GROWTH BRINGS THE CHALLENGE OF CHANGE THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING NOW IF WE HELD ONTO HOW THINGS WERE WERE LOOKED OR WHAT WE THOUGHT MIGHT BE WE NEVER WOULD HAVE EVOLVED INTO THE OPPORTUNITY COMMUNITY WE ARE TODAY FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE TOLLWAY WAS A KEY ELEMENT IN OUR EVOLUTION. FOR MORE THAN JUST QUICKLY MOVING AROUND THE AREA.

OUR LANDMARK LOCATION LIMITS THE SPACE FOR OPPORTUNITY SUCH AS THE ONE BEFORE US AND LET'S ALREADY EXPANDED OUR CAPACITY FOR CREATING POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT WHILE PROTECTING THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF THE CORE COMMUNITY WE ARE A BEDROOM COMMUNITY WITH TAXES TO MATCH SO I THINK IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE CITIZENS THAT WE INVITE MORE COMMERCE INTO THE CITY. POSITIVE COMMERCIAL GROWTH ENHANCES QUALITY OF LIFE IT PROVIDES ECONOMIC PROTECTION FOR THE FUTURE AND ? TO EVOLVE FINANCIALLY AND I BELIEVE WE

WON'T BE REMISS NOT TO TAKE IT. >> IS A LAND OWNER AND RESIDENT I'VE SEEN THE CITY GO THROUGH MANY CHANGES SOME ALTHOUGH NOT WHAT I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN MYSELF HAVE BEEN POSITIVE MOVES I WOULD HAVE LOVED FOR A LITTLE TOWN TO STAY SMALL AND HAVE BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES OF OPEN FIELDS. BUT AS WE KNOW THAT WOULD NOT BRING IN THE REVENUE THAT A TOWN NEEDS TO THRIVE I AM WRITING TO SHOW MY FULL SUPPORT FOR THE ZONING REQUEST AND IN MY OPINION THE REZONING OF THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO OUR COMMUNITY JACKSON SHAW HAS PROPOSED URBAN INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS PARK CONSISTENT WITH THE NORTH SHORE VISION IT WILL PROVIDE JOBS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH DEVELOPMENT OF THIS NATURE WILL INCREASE A COMMERCIAL TAX BASE WHICH WILL RELIEVE THE TAX BURDEN PLACED ON US IT'S INEVITABLE THIS LAND ALONG GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE WOULD BE DEVELOPER SHOULD BE THANKFUL WE CAN BRING IN A REPUTATIONAL DEVELOPER TO BRING POSITIVE GROWTH JACKSON SHAW HAS SELECTED THEIR DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO MEET THE ? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION I HOPE YOU WILL APPROVE THE REQUEST. MATTHEW STARK I AM UNABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING IN PERSON I WANT TO SHARE MY OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WHERE ? DO NOT PRESIDENTIAL ? RESIDENTIAL PROSPERITY. ? LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOODS, HE WAS TO LIVE THERE MOVE INTO THESE AREAS FAMILIES MOVE OUT WHERE THEY TURN INTO LOW INCOME AREAS ? IS NECESSARY WORK IN THIS INDUSTRY AND THERE ARE REASONS THAT THEY ARE NOT PUT INTO RESIDENTIAL AREAS THIS IS COMMUNITY SUICIDE FOR THE SAKE OF POLITICAL GAIN AND TAX DOLLARS THAT WILL CRIPPLE THE COMMUNITY. LOOKING AT THE HISTORICALLY REFERENCED ? WHAT JACKSON SHAW HAS ASKED FOR THE INCENTIVES ASKED TO OFFSET TAX GAIN THE CITY WOULD SEEK AND THEY REALIZE THE VALUE OF THIS IS EQUAL TO A FRACTION OF THE DOLLARS THEY PROPOSE OVER THE ? WHEN YOU COUPLE WITH THE TAX ABATEMENT THEY ARE ASKING FOR THEM TO BE THROWING MONEY AWAY AND THE TEMPORARY TAX GAIN MIGHT LOOK GOOD ON PAPAL AND DOUBT THOUGH MY DELL MIGHT DO MY PAPER THERE INCREASE REPORTS ON CRIME RATES AND POLLUTION AND SOCIAL ISSUES THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF COMMUNITY WE MOVED HERE FOR AND CHOSE TO CALL HOLBERG HIRES THE LEADERSHIP, THE COUNCIL DOES HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DENY THIS DEVELOPMENT FOR THE SAKE OF COMMUNITY FAMILY CENTER HOME THAT WE CALL ROWLET.

A MEMBER OF HOMESTEAD OF LIBERTY GROVE SINCE 2017 I OPPOSED THE JACKSON SHAW

[02:30:01]

PROPOSAL MY HOUSES HAVISHAM DRIVE, WE DID NOT BUYER HOME TO ONE DAY OPEN TO STARE AT THE BACK OF A HUGE WAREHOUSE AND HEAR TRUCKS IDLING, STOPPING, STARTING, ENGINES DISENGAGEMENT, AIR BRAKES, JACKSON SHAW CLAIMS IT WILL NOT EXCEED THE CURRENT 60 DECIBELS NOISE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ? THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS TRUE THERE WAREHOUSE WALLS WILL LOOK LIKE AN AMPHITHEATER BOUNCING ALL THE NOISE OFF TOWARDS THE NEIGHBORHOOD ? CLAIMED THEY WILL BRING 1000+ JOBS TO ROWLET AND IS THIS NOT GOING TO BRING A THOUSAND PLUS JOBS? I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO WAIT TILL SAPPHIRE BAY IS COMPLETE BECAUSE OVER AT TIME OF QUALITY DEVELOPERS AND ? THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I THINK IS A HUGE WASTE OF THE CITIES TIME TO LISTEN TO DEVELOPERS WHO DO NOT WANT TO ABIDE BY THE ORIGINAL PLAN.

WHY WASTE ALL THE TIME AND THE MONEY CREATING THE PLAN IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STICK TO

IT? >> I AM AGAINST THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IN THE ZONING CHANGES THEY ARE REQUESTING. ? STATED IN HIS RECENT PROFILE VIDEO FOR MAYOR ON THE ELECTION AND FACEBOOK PAGE WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NEEDED TO REFER TO THE PLAN WHEN CONSIDERING ZONING CASES WE NEED TO REFER TO A COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY MAKE THOSE DECISIONS TO ENSURE WE ARE KEEPING IN MIND THE DIVISION WE HAVE SET FORTH THIS DOES NOT KEEP IN MIND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.HERE ARE NO WAREHOUSES AND THE NORTH SHOW OVERLAY GUIDE STATES THE LAYOUT IS INTENDED TO CREATE A CORPORATE CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT THAT WOULD INCLUDE OFFICE USES. THIS IS INTEGRATED TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DESTINATION LOCATION AND THE VARIOUS RESIDENTIAL LAND USES TO PROVIDE DIVERSE HOUSING AND ? TO SUPPORT A WALKABLE LIVE WORK PLAY CORPORATE CAMPUS AND ? SHOWING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THERE ARE MULTIPLE PICTURES OF CITY LINES IN RICHARDSON TEXAS WISH TO NOT INCLUDE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSES OR DISTRIBUTION CENTERS THE JACKSON SHAW PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL DESTROY THE VISION LAID OUT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I HOPE YOU CAN SEE OUR ELECTED CITY COUNCIL THAT THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS NOT IN LINE WITH THE VISION THAT THE CITIZENS OF ROWLET ARE WAITING FOR. YOUR VOTE TONIGHT SHOULD BE NO JUST OFF THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT FROM GOING ANY FURTHER IN THE PROCESS OR TABLE THIS FOR OUR SOON TO BE NEWLY ELECTED CITY COUNCIL TO REVIEW WE WILL HAVE OUR TIME FOR THE RIGHT DEVELOPER TO COME IN AND REALIZE OUR VISION AND JUMPING ON THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT DECISION ANTHONY SCOTT, I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE REZONING OF 171 ACRES SPECIFICALLY FOR A LARGE WAREHOUSE HAVE THIS WILL NOT BRING THE KIND OF PEOPLE OR TRAFFIC THAT WILL BENEFIT US IN THE FUTURE ADDITIONALLY THE SOBERING NOISE POLLUTION AND COMMERCIAL TRUCKS THAT ARE UNNEEDED THIS IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ROWLET OR ITS PEOPLE I URGE YOU NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH REZONING. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE PROPOSED REZONING OF THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED ON ITEM 8 A ON THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING THAT IS NOT THE LOCATION FOR THIS TYPE OF USE THE ATHLETICS ALONE WOULD BE HORRIBLE NOT TO MENTION THE CONGESTION NOISE AND SAFETY ISSUES THAT WOULD MOST CERTAINLY ARISE.

>> SUSIE TAYLOR I WANT MY VOICE HEARD ABOUT THIS REZONING REQUEST THEY REJECTED THIS REQUEST FOR GOOD REASON AND I REQUESTED REZONING IT WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT MY NEIGHBORHOOD MY PROPERTY VALUE AND EXISTENCE I BOUGHT MY RETIREMENT HOME EXPECTING TO LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE IN A QUIET AND PEACEFUL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS WHAT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS ACCORDING TO THE DEVELOPER THIS DISTRIBUTION CENTER WHICH GENERATES TRAFFIC UP TO 377 SOME MICE TODAY AND THOSE TRUCKS WOULD BE CONSTANTLY RUMBLING DOWN THE SERVICE ROAD ALL DAY AT NIGHT A FEW HUNDRED YARDS FROM MY BACK PORCH NOISE FUMES AND DAMAGE TO THE ROADWAY AND A BIG 18 WHEELER WILL MAKE MY RETIREMENT HOME NEIGHBORHOOD A NIGHTMARE ON WHEELS PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE THIS REZONING. I AM PRO CITY OF ROWLET MASTER PLAN. WE WOULD ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL OF THIS ZONING REQUEST FOR THE LAKEVIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT AND THE NORTH SHORE DISTRICT THE DEVELOPMENT HAS ENVISIONED A COMMERCIAL SITE LIKE THIS AT THIS LOCATION FOR MANY YEARS THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BRING JOBS INCREASE THE COMMERCIAL TAX BASE JACKSON SHAW HAS WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH OUR

[02:35:01]

COMMUNITY AND STAFF ON THIS PROJECT THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE AN ASSET TO OUR CITY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WE ASKED FOR YOUR APPROVAL FOR THE JACKSON JOB REQUEST ERICA MARTINEZ, MY FAMILY AND I HAVE LIVED IN HOMESTEAD FOR 2 AND A HALF YEARS FOAM OVER THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY SO FAR WE PLAN TO BUILD IN THE UPCOMING PHASE HOLDING A WAREHOUSE WILL BE PART OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES EVENING WALKS COMMUTES TO AND FROM WORK FAMILY POOL DAYS IN EVERYDAY LIFE ALL ANYONE WOULD SEE IS A MASSIVE EYESORE RUINING THE LANDSCAPE MANY OF US CALL HOME EVERYONE LOVES ROWLET BECAUSE IT'S AWAY FROM THE CHAOTIC CITY AND BIG BUILDING TRAFFIC IF WE BRING THE SENATE WILL AFFECT EVERYTHING WE LOVE ABOUT LIVING HERE IN ROWLET HELPING EVERYONE WILL TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION.

SO MIKE LISA SCHAEFER FACET, I AM WRITING TO YOU IN OPPOSITION OF THE WAREHOUSE PROJECT THAT POTENTIALLY WILL GO INTO THE LIBERTY GROVE NORTH SHORE LOCATION WE MOVED TO THE CITY TO BE A COMMUTABLE DISTANCE TO DALLAS AND THE FAMILY HAS LIVED HERE 15+ YEARS IN A QUIET AREA AWAY FROM THE HUSTLE OF THE CITY LIFE WE LEFT BEHIND IN THE NORTHEAST I UNDERSTAND SOMETHING WILL NEED TO BE DEVELOPED BUT I DON'T THINK A WAREHOUSE DISTRICT IS THE BEST USE OF THIS SPACE. BEFORE THIS PROJECT I WOULD ASK YOU WOULD TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO DISCUSS WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO COME IN THE NEXT FIVE 1015 YEARS WOULD YOU LIKE FOR IT TO BE A PLACE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO OUR WOULD YOU LIKE FOR IT TO BE ? WHO TURN THIS INTO A LARGE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPACT INFRASTRUCTURE AND DRIVE OUT YOUNG FAMILIES WHO ONCE WANTED TO FLOCK HERE AND IF YOU ARE HOPING FOR THE FIRST I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT THAT AND FINALLY TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU WOULD BE DESTROYING CAN WE SEE ? FROM OUR HOUSES? CAN WE HEAR IT? YES. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE ALSO SEE? BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS DESTROYED BY TALL WAREHOUSES IN NATURE AND ? 24 HOURS A DAY POLLUTING WHAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL CORNER OF OUR CITY ENJOYED BY SO MANY I BET YOU AND GATHER ALL THE FACTS AND ? THE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF ROWLET ARE AT LEAST OWED THAT EITHER WAY IF THE PROJECT IS APPROVED OR NOT AT THE VERY LEAST WE KNOW HOW PASSIONATE OUR NEIGHBORS ABOUT PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY ISN'T THAT A WONDERFUL THING?

>> DALE MULKEY I URGE THAT THIS CONSIDERED FOR APPROVAL I REALIZED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY DON'T APPROVE OF THE PROPOSAL I BELIEVE THE ONLY OTHER OPTION WOULD BE THE CONSTRUCTION OF APARTMENT HOUSING I FEEL OUR COMMUNITY HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF APARTMENT BUILDINGS I MOVED TO ROWLET IN 1983 WHEN IT WAS VERY SMALL MY STREET FLOWS INTO HICKOX LANE OUR LITTLE ROAD CANNOT HANDLE THE INCREASE OF TRAFFIC I'M USING THIS EXAMPLE TO INCREASE YOUR AWARENESS TO THE PROBLEMS THAT SURROUND THE PROPERTY THE REGROWTH ROAD HAS A PROBLEM OF TOO MANY CARS AND NOT ENOUGH ROAD THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.STACY AND JASON GRIFFIN I LIVE IN WATERVIEW WITH MY HUSBAND THE SEVEN-YEAR-OLD SON WE HAVE LIVED HERE FOR SIX YEARS AND LOVE RAISING OUR SON THIS COMMUNITY MY HUSBAND AND I ARE VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED TO THIS JACKSON SAW PROJECT AND HERE'S WHY IT WILL INCREASE TRAFFIC IN THE AREA THERE'S NO DIRECT ACCESS TO LIBERTY GROVE AND THIS PROJECT WILL AFFECT TRAFFIC ON PGB T ? PARKWAY LIBERTY GROVE CONNECTOR I WILL HURT THE PROPERTY VALUES OF THE NEARBY COMMUNITIES IT WILL DETER BUYERS CRIME IS APPARENT I FEEL SAFE LETTING OUR KIDS PLAY AND RIDE BIKES WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WAREHOUSE THIS WILL NO LONGER BE THE CASE AND KNOWING A FEW MILES AWAY 18 WHEELERS ARE COMING IN AND OUT OF THE AREA OR OTHERWISE ONLY LOCALS LIVE. ? CRIMES ARISE IN INDUSTRIAL AREAS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK WOULD BE DANGEROUS IF I WANTED TO LIVE NEAR WHERE HOUSES I WOULD LIVE OFF OF 35 IN SOUTH DALLAS THERE'S A REASON WHY SO MANY SEEK OUT THE LOVELY COMMUNITY OF ROWLET BECAUSE IT'S AWAY

[02:40:01]

FROM THAT AND I FEEL SAFE. NOISE, AIR POLLUTION AND LIGHT POLLUTION, HOW CAN THIS BE GOOD FOR OUR COMMUNITY? THE PRESENCE OF SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS WOULD PROVIDE A BOOST IN VALUE AND BREAKING BUYERS TO ROWLET THIS WOULD ADD POLISH TO THE AREA WHICH ATTRACTS RESIDENTS WILLING TO PAY HIGHER PRICES THE APPROVAL OF THIS WAREHOUSE WILL ERODE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTS CAUSE MAJOR TRAFFIC ISSUES AND POLLUTE OUR BEAUTIFUL SKY WITH UNWANTED LIGHTS ALL NIGHT LONG NEARBY CITIES ARE GROWING AND FLOURISHING THIS WAREHOUSE WILL HINDER THE GROWTH OF ROWLET IF PAST RICK LET'S MAKE THIS A DESTINATION WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO VISIT NOT WHERE RESIDENTS WANT TO LEAVE.

MR. MCKAY WAS BORN AND RAISED IN ROWLET I USED TO RIDE AROUND THE PASTURE LOOKING AT COWS I HAVE WATCHED ONLY CHANGES COME TO ROWLET THROUGH THE YEARS AND IT MADE ME SAD TO SEE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT TO HOUSES GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE BUSINESSES AND STREETS, I KNEW THIS WAS OUR LITTLE TOWN NEEDING TO THRIVE I AM WRITING TO SHOW MY SUPPORT FOR THE ZONING HE REQUESTED BY JACKSON SHAW BRINGING THIS DEVELOPMENT TO THE LAKEVIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE NORTH SHORE VISION FOR COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY WE KNOW THAT CHANGE IS INEVITABLE ON THIS LAND WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE DEVELOPED WITH IT BEING LOCATED ALONG GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE I BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL WE CAN BRING JACKSON SHAW WHO IS PROVEN THEIR DEVELOPMENT TO BE UPSTANDING THIS WILL BRING JOBS TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OUR CITY NEEDS DEVELOPMENT IS WHAT WE NEED TO RELIEVE THE TAX BURDEN BEING PUT ON US AS RESIDENTS BY INCREASING THE COMMERCIAL TAX BASE JACKSON SHAW HAS WORKED TO MEET THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE AND PHAS ADDRESSED MANY CONCERNS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION I HOPE YOU WILL APPROVE JACKSON SHAW'S REQUEST. VINCENT ? WE DON'T NEED THIS IN AND NOISE POLLUTION WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR THE AREA PROPERTY VALUES.

PLEASE TAKE THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO MIKE IS A NEW CITIZEN IN ROWLET WE WERE ATTRACTED TO THE ZONE DEVELOPMENT AND IT WAS ONE OF THE FACTORS LEADING US TO PURCHASE A HOME WHERE WE DID THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A BEAUTIFUL PARK IN THIS PART OF THE METROPLEX WILL LET US HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO SHOP AND ENJOY THE OUTDOORS WITHOUT HAVING TO GO DOWNTOWN ETC. DON'T LET THE OPPORTUNITY GO TO WASTE.

THE FORWARD THINKING PEOPLE DON'T MOVE TO A NEW LOCATION TO BE NEAR WHERE HOUSES IT DOES NOTHING TO BRING NEW BUSINESSES AND CITIZENS TO YOUR COMMUNITY AND

>> REGARDING THE JACKSON SHAW NORTH SHORE PROJECT AND THEY WILL TABLE THIS AND THEY ARE MAKING PROMISES THEY CANNOT KEEP AND THEY WILL INSTRUCT TRUCK DRIVERS NOT TO DRIVE DOWN LIBERTY GROIS RIDICULOUS. THEY CAN PROMISE WHATEVER THEY WANT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE IT AND THEY'RE ASKING FOR VARIANCES AND EXCEPTIONS OF WHEN THIS IS APPROVED THEY NEED TO SAY IF THIS IS APPROVED OR IF THERE IS MORE GOING ON IN PRIVATE THESE TYPES OF STATEMENTS DO NOT HELP ALLEVIATE TRANSPARENCY AND TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA IS BAD AT RUSH HOUR 300 TRUCKS A DAY IS A HUGE CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO GET HOME FROM WORK AND THERE IS A REASON MOST OF THESE HAVE AN INDUSTRIAL AREA AND THE REALITY IS THEY DON'T HAVE A MAJORITY VOTE TO APPROVE AND THERE IS OBVIOUS CITIZEN CONCERN THEY SHOULD GIVE CITY COUNCIL A REASON TO PRESS PAUSE I MY GUESSES AT THIS TIME AND WE ASK COUNSEL TO TABLE THE REQUEST.

CERTAINLY WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. WE ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF THIS WE DO NOT NEED MORE TRAFFIC WE HAVE SO MANY ROADS THAT NEED TO BE WORKED ON WE NEED SOME RESTAURANTS HAVING A WAREHOUSE WITH 18 WHEELERS INTERNET IS RIDICULOUS.

I HAVE LIVED HERE SINCE 19 8636 YEARS I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES IN ROWLET.

I REMEMBER THE BIG PUSH TO GET GEORGE BUSH IN ROWLET AND WE SEE THE MAJOR BURDEN IT HAS CREATED AND DASHED TO THE EAST OF HIGHWAY 205 WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER TO BUILD.

AND NOW HE SEE MASSIVE APARTMENTS AND TRAFFIC JAMS AND I LIVE OFF OF PRINCETON ROAD AND I TRAVEL LIBERTY GROVE ALMOST EVERY DAY. HOW MANY MAJOR TRAFFIC POLLUTIONS AND NOISE WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE ROWLET WORSE PLEASE VOTE AGAINST THE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE AND KEEP ROWLET HOME.

>> SUE AND RICHARD RABINOVICH. I HAVE OWNED MY HOME FOR 26 YEARS AND NOISE AND AIR POLLUTION HAS BEEN DISRUPTIVE TO THE LIVES OF MANY HOEOWNERS ESPECIALLY IN THE ELEVATED

PORTION SUCH AS 190 AT MILLER THE NOISE OF THE TRUCKS IS DISRUPTIVE TO THE PEACE AND ENJOYMENT FOR HOMEOWNERS IN THIS AREA BRING 18 WHEELER TRAFFIC WHERE THERE IS INADEQUATE NOISE BARRIERS FOR HUNDREDS OF HOMES ADDING MORE TO THE MIX WITH THE LIBERTY GROVE MERIT AREA HAVING TO ENDURE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS WITH HIGHWAY CONFIGURATIONS IS NOT FRIENDLY TO THE CITIZENS HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN ROWLET AS THEIR HOME INDUSTRIAL PARKS IS NOT WITH THE VISION OF THE ROWLET CITIZENS ASKED FOR THE LAND CAN BE UTILIZED FOR SO MANY OTHER COMMUNITY FRIENDLY COMMERCIAL OPTIONS IN THIS PROPOSED PROJECT CERTAINLY THERE'S A NEED FOR COMMERCIAL BUT THERE SHOULD BE BETTER OPTIONS IN THIS RESPECT THE PEACE AND ENJOYMENT VIABILITY TO REJECT THIS PROJECT AND CONTINUING TO SEEK A BETTER OPTION FOR THE CITIZENS. [INDISCERNIBLE] THE PROPOSED REZONING AROUND LIBERTY GROVE AS OUTLINED IN POINT AA OF TODAY'S AGENDA NOTE THAT I AM OPPOSED TO THESE CHANGES I BELIEVE THE REZONING WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE VALUE OF MY PROPERTY AND LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN NOISE POLLUTION AND LIGHT POLLUTION IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

AS A RESIDENT OF LIBERTY GROVE I WANT TO VOICE MY OPINION THAT WE DO NOT SUPPORT THE EFFORT TO REZONE FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL THE TRAFFIC POLLUTION AND CASE STUDIES CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THIS WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR COMMUNITY AND IN NO WAY WOULD IT HAS THE CULTURE BEAUTY DESIRABILITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS IT WOULD NOT PROVIDE JOBS FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND DESTROY ANY CHANCE TO BRING A RICH COMMUNITY CENTER AND PUBLIC SPACE I ASKED THE COUNCIL TO REJECT THIS IMMEDIATELY IS CLEAR THE CONSTITUENTS DO NOT WANT A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT PLEASE FULFILL YOUR OBLIGATION TO REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE. I AM AGAINST THE PROPOSED REASON IS THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SENT HERE FOR RECOMMENDATION WE CONTINUE TO WASTE THE CITIZEN CITY COUNCIL TIME CONSIDERING ILLEGAL REASON REQUEST PROPERTY UPDATE ? PROPERLY UPDATE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BEFORE REZONING ADDITIONALLY I AM AGAINST USING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO GET A LAUNDRY LIST OF WAIVERS AND VARIANCES THIS IS USED TO COMPLETELY WAIVE 70 SECTION 97 WHAT ARE THOSE CODES? 507 PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL COMMERCIAL BUILDING STANDARDS INTENDED TO PROMOTE HIGH QUALITY BUILDING DESIGN PROTECT PROPERTY VALUES AND IS INTENDED TO CREATE AN ACE ? IMAGE TO SHOW OFF HOW GREAT RALEIGH CAN BE IN NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION STANDARDS OF DATA TO PROTECT NEIGHBORHOODS BY REASONABLE TRANSITION WE ASKED FOR LIMITS ON NOISE AND ALSO WE ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER TO START WITHIN TWO YEARS WHAT JUSTIFICATION DO THEY HAVE FOR ANY OF THESE WAIVERS? CHRISTINA RICE HOMESTEAD LIBERTY GROVE ROAD I WOULD LIKE TO VOICE MY OPPOSITION TO THE OPPOSED REZONING PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THE COMMUNITY TO ? MY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX MANY STRONGLY OBJECT TO THIS PROJECT WE MOVED HERE FOR THE CUTE SMALL-TOWN FILE ON THIS PROJECT WILL DISRUPT AND DESTROY THAT VISION OF OUR FUTURES.

PLEASE VOTE NO TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. ESTIMATE DAN GLEASON.

IT'S A SHAME THAT WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE PEOPLE EXAGGERATE INFORMATION FOR THEIR WANTS AND NEEDS THE PROJECT IS ON A MASSIVE WAREHOUSE AREA WHERE TRACTOR-TRAILERS WILL QUEUE UP ALL DAY AND NIGHT LIKE SOME WILL TRY TO HAVE YOU BELIEVE EVERY PROGRESSIVE CITY HAS AN ECONOMIC WAREHOUSE BUSINESS DISTRICT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY FOLKS ARE RELATING TO THIS TO THE LANCASTER SUPER DISTRIBUTION CENTERS THIS PROJECT HAS MIDSIZE WAREHOUSES CAN BE SIZED TO BUSINESS NEEDS FOR HIGH TECH MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES SUCH AS ON-DEMAND PRINTING OF PERSONALIZED ITEMS PARTS DISTRIBUTION, ? DELIVERIES ETC. JUST LIKE THE FOLKS THAT SPREAD RUMORS LIKE GETTING A COVID-19 VACCINE WILL MAKE YOU TRACKABLE BY THE GOVERNMENT ARE THE WHITE STEAM FROM AIRCRAFT ARE CHEMICAL TOURS OF THE GOVERNMENT IS SPRAYING FROM 35,000 FEET SETTING OUT PHOTOS OF TRAILER PARKS OR TRASH AFTER STORMS HAS NO BEARING ON THE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE WAREHOUSE CAMPUSES THE OWNERS ALONG THE TOLLWAY WHERE THIS PROJECT IS GOING AND DECIDED THEY WANT TO SELL THAT'S THEIR RIGHT AND THE DEVELOPERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BUILD AS LONG AS IT PASSES THE RULES AND REGULATIONS. THOSE WHO WANT THE AREA TO REMAIN IN GREEN SPACE SHOULD FEEL FREE TO PURCHASE THE LAND AND DONATED TO THE CITY WHICH BY THE WAY WOULD NOT GENERATE A SINGLE PENNY OF TAX. SOME OF THIS WILL BE USED AS E-COMMERCE DISTRIBUTION THESE

[02:50:08]

SERVE AS THE NEW WALMART SAID DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT THE PUBLIC TRAFFIC AT ONLINE ORDER FULFILLMENT CENTERS NEED TO BE CLOSE TO THE CUSTOMER BASE AND THESE CAN BE FOUND THROUGHOUT PLANO, FRISCO, GRAPEVINE, CORINTH, MCKINNEY AND SO FORTH THESE SPRING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES TAX REVENUE BUSINESSES AND INFRASTRUCTURE OPPORTUNITIES IF NOISE IS A CONCERN FILTER TILT WALL CONCRETE BARRIER WALL ROWLET ACE TO WELCOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT HAS NO REAL WAREHOUSE SPACE, OFFICE SPACE OR ANY MANUFACTURING SPACE I BELIEVE THIS IS A LAID OUT BUSINESS COMPLEX TO ATTRACT NEW BUSINESSES IS MY BELIEF THE CITY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS THE CORRECT VISION FOR GROWTH OF PROPERTY USAGE THAT MAY ? GOALS FROM THE LATEST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.O MY WE HAVE RESIDED IN THE CITY OF ROWLET FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND WE TRAVELED ON HIGHWAY 190 QUITE FREQUENTLY I NOTICED ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA THAT AN ITEM FOR THE LAKEVIEW BUSINESS PLAN DEVELOPMENT REZONING PROJECT MAY BE CONSIDERED WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR FULL SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT I HAVE RESEARCHED OTHER PROJECTS SUCH AS THE PART 20 IN ARLINGTON THEY ARE VERY REPUTABLE COMPANY THAT WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE NORTH SHORE VISION FOR COMMERCE PROJECTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH WORKING IN THE FUTURE ADVANCE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE FOR THE CITIZENS OF ROWLET THIS GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH WHY COUNCILMEMBERS WORK DILIGENTLY WITH THE STATE. WE'RE CONFIDENT THIS WILL BRING QUALITY JOBS FOR STILL DOGMATIC SKILLED WORKERS I KNOW YOU WILL DO THE CORRECT STATEMENT OF THE BLOOD HE MUST GO THROUGH FOR THE AREA WERE TRYING TO MAKE ? A BETTER PLACE I WANT TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THE JACKSON SHAW DEVELOPMENT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PLAN FOR NORTH SHORE AS SUCH MANY ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PREPARE FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY IS ESSENTIAL THAT ROWLET HAS A BALANCE OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL TAXPAYERS TO SPREAD THE COST AROUND. IF ROWLET WERE TO HAVE RESIDENTIAL TAXPAYERS IT WILL CAUSE TAXES TO RISE AND TO INCREASE THE ABILITY AND ? PROGRAM ON THE NEW HEADQUARTERS FOR VEHICLE ACCESSORIES GROUP HAVE JACKSON SHAW IS WHO WE WORKED WITH ON GETTING THIS WHEN WERE MOSQUITO WOULD RATING ? JOBS WITH ANNUAL PAYROLL OF 13.5 MILLION IN ADDITION IT BRINGS 30 MILLION CAPITAL INVESTMENT AT THE GROUNDBREAKING THEY DONATED $5000 TO SHARING LIFE COMMUNITY OUTREACH.E PROVIDES A FOOD PANTRY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER PROGRAMS AND D D D D D D THOSE D AND THAT IS THE COMPLETION OF THE PUBLIC, IT'S ON THE SIDE OF SO I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY THAT CAME OUT TONIGHT AND FOR SPEAKING SO PASSIONATELY AND CALM AND COLLECTED I KNOW YOU GUYS ALL SPEAK FROM THE HEART AND I APPRECIATE YOU ALL COMING OUT. NOW WE GET TO THE MEAT OF IT.

SO ARE YOU AT FIRST? IT'S BEEN A GIDDY THING, COUNSEL.

>> AS YOU INDICATED MAYOR PRO TEM, THE REQUEST IS FOR A REZONING TO ACCOMMODATE 2 SUBDISTRICTS THE FIRST ONE COMPRISING OF A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USE IN THE SECOND ON IS THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT FOR MIXED-USE DEENT THE PROPERTY IS ZONED COMMERCIAL AND I WILL SPEAK TO THAT AND THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU AND THE SYRIAN RIGHT IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE APPROPRIATENESS ARE THE PROPOSED LAND NASCENT RELATIONSHIP TO NOT JUST THE NORTH SHORE ABOUT FOUR ? CELL QUESTIONS WILL BE ADDRESSED RELATED TO THE COMPREHENSIVE ? FOR EXAMPLE VERY IT'S A GUIDING TOOL THAT WE USE TO ASSESS NOT JUST COMPATIBILITY BUT ALSO WHAT THE APPROPRIATE VISION IS FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND AGAIN ON COMPREHENSIVE PLANS THERE ARE DOCUMENTS THAT TYPICALLY SEE A CHANGE OF A MIDYEAR TERM.

[02:55:04]

ANALYST INSTANT THERE ARE SOME EXERCISES THAT WE CONDUCT TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THAT. SO SPEAKING TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN A LITTLE BIT, OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE IN 2019 ADOPTED A FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND THAT PLAN DESIGNATES THE SUBJECT MATTER THAT YOU CAN SEE IS PRIMARILY BLUE WITH A PINK SHADED AREA.

I HOPE I GET THOSE COLORS RIGHT FOR EVERYBODY. AND WHAT WE SEE IS CLASSIFIED OR CATEGORIZED AS AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER. AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER IS INTENDED FOR LARGE-SCALE OFFICE CORPORATE CAMPUS STYLE USES AT THE SERVICE OF CITIES MAJOR EMPLOYMENT BASE AND THROUGH THAT HE WOULD SEE THE CREATION OR DOMINO EFFECT OF ADDITIONAL USES IN THIS CASE SUBDISTRICT TWO. THAT HOUSE A FURTHER IMPACT ON REALIZING THE OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE NORTH SHORE PLAN OR COMPLEMENTARY DEVELOPMENT A WIDE VARIETY OF USES ARE APPROPRIATE IN THIS DISTRICT BECAUSE IT'S INTENDED TO COMBINE USES FROM MULTIPLE LAND USE CATEGORIES WE HAVE SEEN THE PROPOSED OFFICE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IS LARGELY KEEPING WITH THE VISION OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE PROPOSED USES WILL BE ALIGNED WITH LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED FOR ? DISTRICT AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ? HAS COME FORWARD WITH A ZONING CHANGE REQUEST AND THE STAFF TASK IS TO DETERMINE THE ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS WITH THAT. [INDISCERNIBLE] DID THEY ALIGN GENERALLY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, NORTH SHORE OR KEEPING IN MIND THIS IS A STRATEGY AREA THAT WAS OPTIMIZED OR CATEGORIZED FOR CONGRESS AVENUE INDUSTRY OF 2012.

SO THE PROPERTY IS A STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY AREA AND ITS VISION TO PROVIDE SPACES SUPPORTED BY COMMERCIAL USES. KEEPING IN MIND THIS DOCUMENT WAS REALIZED IN 2012 WE HAVE SEEN THROUGH THE YEARS A CHANGE IN LAND USE A CHANGE IN WHAT USES FIT IN WHAT AREAS AND ONE OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE NORTH SHORE WAS TO REALIZE WHERE THE CREEK IS AN AMENITY AND TO BE VERY SPECIFIC IN THIS INSTANCE WE ARE SPEAKING OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE HOMESTEAD DEVELOPMENT AND COMPRISING OF APPROXIMATELY 830 ? PENDING THREE ADDITIONAL PHASES TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED WITH THE FORM-BASED CODED OPTION TO WHERE WE ARE WE ARE ON A 2020 PLAN AND THE UPDATE THAT YOU APPROVED IN 2019 TALKS ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATION FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PARK DEVELOPMENT.

AGAIN THE PROPOSED ? IS CREATED TO NOT REALIZE EVERY SINGLE USE THAT IS COMMITTED IN THE DISTRICT INCLUDED IN THE DEVELOPMENT CODE IT'S INTENDED TO BE THE PRIMARY EMPLOYMENT INTEGRATING A DIVERSE EMPLOYMENT BASE AS WELL SEVERAL FACTORS COULD BE MUTUALLY INCLUSIVE AND FROM A LAND-USE PERSPECTIVE TO REITERATE ? IN A CONSISTENT MANNER WITH THIS AREA WHERE YOU HAVE THE EASTERN EDGE OF NORTH SHORE IS CRITICAL SO THE AREA PRESENTS ITSELF AS A SINGLE BUSINESS PARK THE ENVELOPE IS CLEARLY ARTICULATED IN EACH SIDE WITH DIFFERENT FEATURES BOTH OFFERING A CONSISTENT QUALITY AND DESIGN THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT LOOKS AT A NUMBER OF ELEMENTS AND THAT IS ALSO EXPLAINED IN THE DISCUSSION ITEM SPECIFIC USES BE PROPOSED HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND ASSESSED SEVERAL OF THESE HAVE BEEN STRUCK THROUGH SO THERE ONLY HANDFUL THAT WOULD BE COMMITTED ON THIS PROPERTY. HOWEVER WHAT I WANT YOU TO DISCUSS AT THIS STAGE IS THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS OR VARIANCES FROM THE M1 STANDARD

[03:00:08]

DISTRICT AND I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THE STEP-BY-STEP. ONE IS THE DISTRICT CLEARLY STATES THAT THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT FOR A BUILDING IS 36 FEET THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THIS REQUIREMENT OR DEVIATION AND ? SEEKING A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 50 FEET FOR SOME OF THEIR BUILDINGS AND ADDITIONALLY HIS ? FOR THE INDUSTRIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE AND COMPONENT THE DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIRES ONE SPACE FOR EVERY 1500 SQUARE FEET OF WAREHOUSE USE. RECENT INDUSTRY STANDARDS WE HAVE SEEN SEE THOSE RATIOS THAT APPROXIMATELY ONE PARKING SPACE AND NOT TOO MUCH OF A SIGNIFICANT VARIANCE EXTERIOR LIGHTING IS ANOTHER COMPONENT AND IT IS THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM WALL LIGHTING, LIGHTING ATTACHED TO THE WOLVES OR ELEVATIONS. THEY ARE 15 FEET WITH SEVEN ? INCREASE THAT TO 35 FEET AND LIGHT POLES ON THE PARKING AREAS ARE A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 25 FEET.

AND THEY ARE REQUESTING A 10 PERCENT INCREASE. SOME WITH THE ? IF COMMENCEMENT DOES NOT OCCUR WITHIN TWO YEARS THAN THAT REQUIRES THE PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN DIVISION SHIVERING FOR BASAL NAME CHANGE TO THE ORIGINAL ZONING OR TO ADDRESS AND DETERMINE IF AN ALTERNATIVES ZONING IS NECESSARY. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THIS ITEM BE STRUCK FROM THE. [INDISCERNIBLE] DISTRICT.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOK AT VERY CLOSELY HIS NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY.

IN LINE WITH COMPATIBILITY THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, THE TOPOGRAPHY IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. SO THE BUILDING AND NEIGHBORING COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS STATE THAT THERE SHOULD BE DESIGN ELEMENTS ? THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO WAIVE THE

REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE SCREENING ELEMENTS >> IF YOU LOOK AT THE IMAGE IN FRONT OF YOU. AND I WILL TRY TO HIGHLIGHT IT. THE, PROPERTY LINE IS THIS RIGHT HERE, IS APPROXIMATELY 840 FEET GREAT THIS PROPERTY LINE FOR THE LAKEVIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT IS THIS WAY. SO YOU CAN SEE THIS IS MUDDY CREEK RIGHT HERE SO WERE THE PROPERTY LINES UP, WHICH YOU SEE,, THREE, FOUR AND FIVE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

WHAT YOU SEE IS THE BILLS AND ENVIRONMENT. IF SO IF WE WERE TO LOOK AT THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 1500 FEET AND AS WE SPEAK IN ONE OF THE ELEMENTS THAT COULD BE REQUIRED WOULD BE TO INSTALL A WALL WITH ASSOCIATED LANDSCAPING OR HAVE A ROUND ROOM WITH JOSH ASKING TO WAIVE THESE REQUIREMENTS.

THEY ALSO ARE REQUESTING FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION STANDARDS.

THOSE ARE THE HOURS OF OPERATION, LOW THE LOCATION OF LOADING DOCKS ALL OF THESE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO CREATING AN ADDITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION STANDARDS.

BASED AS I MENTIONED TO YOU EARLIER AND ADJACENCIES ARE OPEN SPACES THAT ABOUT EACH OTHER. MUDDY CREEK AREA SO THE INSTALLATION ALONG THOSE AREAS WOULD BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT CONSTRUCT IN FLOOD WAYS.

[03:05:05]

THE PROPOSED BUILDINGS ARE PHYSICALLY SEPARATED AND THE MAYOR'S BUILDING IS 1500 FROM THE PROPOSED RESIDENCE. THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF THIS REQUEST WITH A THREE-TO VOTE.

>> IT CONDUCTED SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND THE COMMISSION THE FOLLOWING STUDIES ON LESAGE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS ONE WAS A CONDITIONAL LETTER OF ? AND I WILL SPEAK TO THESE THE ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT NOISE MONITORING STUDY AND ILLUMINATION OR ? STUDY THESE STUDIES AT THE APPLICANT COMMISSION WHERE PRELIMINARY STUDIES AND ARE NOT REQUIRED AS PART OF THE ZONING PROCESS HOWEVER IN ORDER TO PROVIDE MORE INSIGHT AS IT RELATES TO THE IMPACT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT ON ADJACENCIES THESE STUDIES WERE COMMISSION HOWEVER THE CITY STAFF IS NOT FORMALLY RECEIVED THESE BECAUSE THEY ARE ACQUIRED AT THE TIME OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL IN A TIME OF CIVIL PLAN APPROVAL PURPOSE IS TO DETERMINE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS IN DESIGN MODELING TRAFFIC GENERATION IN DETERMINING IF THERE WERE ANY TRAFFIC WARRANTS REQUIRING SIGNALS AND ASSISTANCE TO SIGNALS WILL BE REQUIRED AND EVENTUALLY AT LIBERTY ROAD ALONG THE SERVICE ROAD HOWEVER THIS SPECIFICITY RELATED TO DECELERATION LANES) LANES FOR EXAMPLE ? A DETAILED PLAN APPROVAL AND ANY DEVELOPMENTS WHERE THERE IS POTENTIAL ? THIS VERIFIES THERE IS NO ADVERSE DOWNSTREAM IMPACT. THIS IS A STATE REQUIREMENT AND MAKING SURE THERE ARE NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO ADJACENT PROPERTIES AS WELL.THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED IF THAT IS APPROVED THERE IS A SECOND STOP WHERE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SECURE A LETTER OF PROVISION ? THIS RECLAMATION OCCURRED AND IT HAS GONE THROUGH A THOROUGH REVIEW TO ALLOW THIS.

THE NOISE MONITORING STUDY WAS CONDUCTED TO DETECT CHANGES AND WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF GLARE ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE, THE ROWLET DEVELOPMENT CODE IS CLEAR THAT CANNOT EXCEED ONE FOOT CANDLE AT THE PROPERTY LINE, THE PRELIMINARY INFORMATION STAFF HAS GLEANED THE LIGHT LEVELS DO NOT EXCEED .2 FOOT PANELS ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY LINE.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A NOISE MONITORING STUDY THESE ARE SUBMITTED WITH THE DETAILS FOR STAFF REVIEW AND JUST TO REITERATE THESE STUDIES WILL TAKE ? FOR THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM AND INFORMATION. YOU HAVE STAINLESS DIAGRAM OR CONCEPT PLAN IT GIVES YOU A GOOD IDEA OF THE SPATIAL PLANNING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS IN THE AGENCIES AND IN YOUR PACKET IT ADDRESSES THE MAXIMUM BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE, NO MORE THAN 2 MILLION SQUARE FEET. THEY AIM TO PROVIDE A OPEN-SPACE PROGRAM I MINIMUM OF 20 PERCENT PLANTS OPEN-SPACE AND A POLLINATING GARDEN AND BUTTERFLY GARDEN IS PROPOSED AND A RETENTION POND WITH A PAVED TRAIL AREA IS ? ALL OF THE ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LANDSCAPE PLAN TO COMPLY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE THIS WOULD BE THE MINIMUM 10 FOOT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP RELATED TO THE CONCEPT

[03:10:09]

OF CUING AND STACKING THIS IS A VISUAL IMAGE TO ARTICULATE THAT THESE TRUCKS WILL NOT TITLE ON THE SERVICE ROAD AND WILL BE CONTAINED THIS IS PART OF THE CONDITION OF THE PLANT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT COUNCIL I'VE MENTIONED THERE'S SUBDISTRICT 2 THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 6 AND A HALF ACRES MSA ? ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLANS AT THIS TIME THERE ARE SPECIFIC USES TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY FURTHERMORE, DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURANTS, GAS, MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS WOULD REQUIRE AN APPROVAL OF AN SEP BEFORE THEY COULD MOVE FORWARD. UNLESS A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.

THE APPLICANT HOSTED THREE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS TO ADDRESS CONCERNS AND SITE DRAINAGE AND. [INDISCERNIBLE] 14 NOTICES WERE SENT AND 14 AND 500 FEET TO DANGEROUS AND SEVEN WERE IN FAVOR AND THOSE ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET AS FAR AS THE 500 FOOT NOTICE, FIVE RESPONSES WERE RECEIVED. I WILL MENTION TO YOU IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF THIS REQUEST.

SO THIS IS TO BE A LARGE MIXED-USE OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL CENTER AND THE PUBLIC INPUT REVEALED MOST RESPONDENTS BELIEVE THE ? WAS APPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA OF THE LOCATION GIVES THE AREA ACCESS TO OTHER MAJOR COMMERCIAL AREAS IN THE METROPLEX.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO ADDRESS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE. [INDISCERNIBLE] AND THE PROPOSAL IS THE KEEPING OF THE NORTH SHORE CENTER FOR COMMERCE.

TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THE ? AND THE EMPLOYMENT MARKET THAT I'VE MENTIONED EARLIER AND ADOPTION WITH THE FORM-BASED CODE SO THESE USES HAVE EVOLVED AND HOW THEY OPERATE HAVE EVOLVED AND THESE ARE FACTORS WE TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION TO THE CHANGE IN ZONING REQUEST STAFF IS RECOMMENDING AN APPROVAL OF THIS AD WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS JUST TO REITERATE, THE NOISE ORDINANCE IS DICTATED NO SEMI TRACTORS IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND CIRCULATION WILL BE IN GENERAL CONFORMANCE WITH THE CIRCULATION THAT IS IN YOUR PACKET AS WELL HE LOCATION AND DIMENSIONS WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN ADDITION TO THE PROPOSED TIA THE PAVEMENT DECIDE FOR THE INTERCONNECT HERE WHICH WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICANT WILL BE ADDRESSED BASED ON HE ? GENERATED BY THIS DEVELOPMENT AND BY THE FINAL IMPACT ANALYSIS AND I DO WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT IN THE HAVE A PRESENTATION AS WELL AND I CAN TRY TO ANSWER ANY

QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT THOROUGH PRESENTATION. WE WILL OPEN UP TO QUESTIONS IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

>> IS THERE ANY FORM OF REQUIREMENT REGARDIG CLEAN TITLE VEHICLES WAS AT SOME

POINT OF REQUIREMENT >> I DON'T KNOW BUT WE CAN DEFTLY LOOK INTO IT.

>> >> WE HAVEN'T HEARD THE CONCEPT PLAN WISHES TO SOMEONE A

[03:15:23]

REQUEST CHANGE UNTIL WE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT ADDITIONAL STUDIES CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH

WHAT THOSE PROCESSES LOOK LIKE? >> WE DO HAVE A CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN POST ENTITLEMENTS AND THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE A CONCEPT PLAN IS APPROVED THE FUTURE DETAIL DEVELOPMENT PLAN CAN GO A STEP FURTHER WHICH COULD ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH FORMALIZED STUDIES IT REMAINS AN ADMINISTRATIVE STOP I JUST MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY.

>> >> THE MAXIMIZE SQUARE FOOTAGE CANNOT EXCEED 2 MILLION SQUARE FEET AND WE ALSO CLEARLY ARTICULATE THE RECOMMENDATION IF THE APPLICANT DECIDES TO PERHAPS ? A BUILDING OR BUILDING THEY DECIDE TO INCREASE THEIR PARKING THAT WOULD WARRANT REVISIONS AND WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AS A PUBLIC HEARING AND THIS IS FORMALIZING THE ELEMENTS OF NUTS AND BOLTS RELATED TO THE USE AND

>> DOES THAT INCLUDE THE VARIANCES YOU ADDRESSED TONIGHT?

>> ARE THEY PREPARED TO TALK TO THE LIGHTING ISSUES?

>> I'M SURE THEY ARE THEY ARE UNDER THE NUMBERS ONLINE SURE THEY CAN ADDRESS SOME QUESTIONS

>> ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR STAYING WEIGHT-BEARING WITH A SPRAY NIGHT THANK YOU MAYOR, CITY MANAGER CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF MY NAME IS MICHELLE WHEELER I'M CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF JACKSON SOFT WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH YOU. I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG NIGHT SO WE WILL TRY TO GOES QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I WANT TO PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COMPANY. WE ARE A 50-YEAR-OLD PRIVATE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY WHO DEVELOPED 3.6 BILLION IN TRANSACTION AND 62 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF DEVELOPMENT OUR PRIMARY FOCUS IS INDUSTRIAL HOSPITALITY AND RESIDENTIAL. THIS IS A HOTEL WEIGHTED IN FORT WORTH AND THIS IS AN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AND LAST ONE IS AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING WE

[03:20:03]

HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR OUR DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT EXPERTISE TO BUSINESSES WE BRING TO THE COMMUNITY THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE AWARDS OUR FIRM HAS RECEIVED FROM ARLINGTON TO RICHARDSON FORT WORTH HOUSTON SCOTTSDALE DENVER COLORADO ETC. THE POINT OF THE SLIDE IS WE ARE RECOGNIZED FOR BEING COMMUNITY PARTNERS BRINGING BUSINESSES TO THE CITIES WE WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING INVESTMENT BUSINESS AND JOBS TO THE CITY OF ROWLET. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT.

>> MY NAME IS MICHAEL FLOWERS SEMI PRIMARY ROLE AT JACKSON SHAHS TO SEEK OUT AND SEARCH FOR AND IDENTIFY NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ALL PRODUCT TYPES I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM TO BE HERE SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR PATIENCE.

FOR A WHILE WE PLAYED PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO ROWLET. I KNEW IT.

MY FAMILY IS FROM ROWLET THEY HAVE AN EXCELLENT ROADWAY NETWORK 11 MINUTES FROM 75 AND SIX MINUTES FROM INTERSTATE 30 AND THERE IS HIGH GROWTH ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA. THE LARGEST GROWING CITIES THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE COUNTRY AND KAUFMAN COUNTY IS THE THIRD FASTEST GROWING COUNTY IN THE NATION AND WHAT WAS A SMALL TOWN ? 20 YEARS AGO IS NOW GOING TO HAVE OVER HUNDRED THOUSAND RESIDENTS IN THREE SHORT YEARS THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS TO EMPHASIZE THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT ONE TIME ROWLET WAS A SMALL COMMUNITY IN THE COUNTRY BUT DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AND THE POPULATION GROWTH OF DALLAS IS NOW ENCOMPASSING ROWLET THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GROWTH AROUND THE CITY BUT THE CITY REMAINS IN A STAGNANT STATE THIS WE CAN RECOGNIZE.

THE LAKEVIEW PARKWAY ALONE THERE ARE CURRENTLY SEVEN DIFFERENT VACANCIES AND AVAILABILITIES LISTED 63,000 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE AVAILABLE TODAY.

WE HAVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN LISTENING AND GOING TO BE FORMS ONLY LEARN THE AVERAGE WORKER ? EVERY DAY THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU SPARK THE ENVIRONMENT THAT ? ECONOMIC GROWTH IN A CITY THAT IS CONSTANTLY GROWING?LET'S TAKE A STEP BACK AND TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT REAL ESTATE CLIENT ? CLIMATE WORKING TO IDENTIFY STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES AS THE PRIMARY FOCUS YOU MUST CONSIDER THE CONTEXT OF THE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET WE KNOW TRADITIONAL RETAILERS ARE IN SEVERE DECLINE 60 OR SET OF PEOPLE ARE VISITING BRICK AND MORTAR RETAIL LESS THE PANDEMIC 43 PERCENT ARE BUYING ITEMS ONLINE FOR ITEMS THEY WOULD HAVE PREVIOUSLY BOUGHT US STORES THE RETAIL MARKET IS SUFFERING AS A RESULT THE OFFICE MARKET IS IN DECLINE CURRENT VACANCY IS THAT 25 PERCENT PEOPLE ARE WORKING FROM HOME MORE THAN EVER BEFORE AND LAST NIGHT I HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR THAT NO MORE MULTI FAMILY IS WELCOME SERVICES CAN'T HANDLE WITNESS REQUIRED BY ? TO GET APPROVED AND ALSO ONE OF THE LOUDEST CONCERNS WAS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND BRINGING IN NEW JOBS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET RIGHT NOW IS THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL MARKET WHICH IS EXPERIENCING A RECORD HIGH VOLUME OF DEMAND IN ADDITION TO THAT THEY PUT A STRAIN ON CITY SERVICES THERE ARE CURRENTLY ? SQUARE FEET OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL

[03:25:08]

DEALS NONE OF WHICH ARE AMAZON SO THOSE DO NOT INCLUDE THEM. SO, I'M GOING TO FAST-FORWARD A LITTLE BIT TALK ABOUT HOW WE FOUND THE SITE SO CHRISTMAS 2020 HYDRO BY THE CURRENT LAKEVIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT AND WHEN I NOTICED IT HAD ALL OF THE FEATURES FOR A GREAT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT I JUMPED ON THE WEBSITE LOOKING FOR A ZONING MAP TO SEE WHAT THIS POTENTIAL PROJECT COULD BE AND SAW THE SLIDE RIGHT HERE. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE IN ALIGNMENT.I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORK THIS PROPERLY BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO LOOK AT THE VIDEO AT SOME POINT AGAIN THAT EMPHASIZES WHAT IS PLANNED FOR THIS EASTERN SIDE OF GEORGE BUSH FREEWAY WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING TONIGHT AND WHAT THIS PROJECT HAS IS A CENTER FOR COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY AND EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT IT WILL DIVERSIFY THE TAX BASE AND INCREASE REVENUE IT WILL SPARK ECONOMIC GROWTH AS A WHOLE WILL SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE CITY OF ROWLET IT HAS TO START SOMEWHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SPARK TO GET THE EXISTING LEASE SPACE AND BRING IN DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL CATALYZE ECONOMIC GROWTH WHEN WE FIGURED OUT WE BELIEVE WE WERE IN ALIGNMENT WITH WHAT THEY WANTED WE PUT TOGETHER WHAT WE BELIEVE IS A TEAM OF TOP EXPERTS WHO CREATED WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TODAY IS THE PROPOSED BUSINESS DISTRICT. NOW LET'S DIVE INTO THE DETAILS OF THE PLANNING THAT OCCURRED WITH THE IDEA THAT STARTED ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO OR YEAR AND AND A HALF AGO.

WE INTEND TO KEEP MOST OF THE EXISTING, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SLIDES OUT THERE THAT SHOW THIS AREA RIGHT HERE THAT APPEARS TO BE CLEAR-CUT ALL THE WAY ACROSS OVER TO THE NEIGHBORING RESIDENCES, THAT IS NOT OUR INTENT WE INTEND TO KEEP MOST OF THESE EXISING TREES ON SITE AND WE ALSO PLAN TO KEEP ALL TREES 70 MUDDY CREEK ? WITHOUT ANY CHANGES WE WANT TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT CREATES A NATURAL ? BETWEEN A BUFFER THAT'S HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

WE ALSO PLAN ON ADDING IMPLANTING APPROXIMATELY 1500 NEW TREES AND IF THE SYSTEM IS EVER REALIZING ? WE FULLY INTEND TO PARTICIPATE BY CONNECTING THE SITE WITH THE TRAIL SYSTEM IS PROPOSED WE WOULD LOVE TO BRING THAT INHERENT DO THAT AS WELL AS COMMIT TO INSTALLING A B POLLINATOR GARDEN AND EDUCATION CENTER ON THE SITE.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT BUILDING DESIGN WE ARE CURRENTLY PLANNING FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT TO BE A TOP-TIER FACILITY THIS HAS BEEN CAREFULLY DESIGNED WITH THE HIGHEST ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS AS YOU CAN SEE AND THE DESIGN IS WITH HIGH QUALITY ? THE UNIQUE DESIGN FEATURES MAKE IT HIGHLY DESIRABLE AND ATTRACTIVE THE CURRENT SLIDE DEPICTS WHERE THE OFFICE ENTRIES WILL BE LOCATED THIS IS A ZOOMED OUT VERSION OF THAT. NEXT I WILL TALK ABOUT THE CUEING EXHIBIT IS DESIGNED TO SHOW JUST HOW MUCH ROOM WE HAVE IF YOU SEE A LARGE AMOUNT OF TRUCKS ON THE SITE.E ARE SAYING WE HAVE STRATEGICALLY PLANNED TO HAVE AMPLE ROOM TO ENSURE WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO CUEING FOR TRUCKS ON ANY PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY. WE DON'T WANT THAT AS A DEVELOPER THE CITIZENS DON'T WANT THAT AND YOU GUYS DON'T WANT THAT.

ADDITIONALLY, WE PLANNED IT TO INSTALL SOME TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN TRAFFIC AS WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT BUT THE TRAFFIC HAS ITS BENEFITS AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BRINGING IN 1034 NEW JOBS THAT WILL BRING IN NEW TRAFFIC AND THIS WILL THERE'S INTENDED POSITIVE CONSEQUENCES TO THAT AS WELL THAT ADDS THE DENSITY

[03:30:04]

YOU NEED TO SUPPORT THE RETAIL THAT IS VACANT AND ADDS THE DENSITY YOU NEED TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL RESTAURANTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND SERVICES THAT THE CITIZENS ARE WANTING.

AS YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE INSTALLING THE LOCATIONS AND HERE AT LIBERTY GROWTH AND IF THOSE HAVE STOP SIGNS CURRENTLY AS A RESULT THIS WILL INCREASE THE TRAFFIC GRADES EVEN AFTER ITS FULLY DEVELOPED THAN WHAT THEY CURRENTLY ARE TODAY. HERE'S ANOTHER PICTURE OF OUR HIGH QUALITY RENDERINGS AND THIS NEXT SLIDE IS WHY YOU'VE REPEATED THIS ONE SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE HAVE PROPOSED ON ONE OF OUR LAST DEVELOPMENTS ON THIS SIDE AND THIS IS THE RENDERING IN THE ACTUAL PRODUCT AND IN MANY CASES WHAT WE BUILD LOOKS QUITE BETTER THAN WHAT WE PUT IN A RENDERING MALICE TALK ABOUT THE CONCEPT LEASING PLAN AND THE POTENTIAL OCCUPANCY IN THIS PART. THE DIFFERENT COLORS REPRESENT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OF WHERE WE BELIEVE THIS PROJECT WILL LEASE YOU COULD HAVE SEVEN COMPANIES TAKE UP HUNDRED PERCENT OF EVERY SINGLE BUILDING BUT THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS YOU CAN BRING UP TO 19 TENANTS INTO THE SPARK THIS IS BY THE EXPERIENCE WE HAVE IN THESE MARKETS SO THEREFORE YOU COULD HAVE UP TO 19 TENANTS THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROJECT AND 19 COMPANIES DOING BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF ROWLET. THERE IS A SLIDE OF LOGOS WE HAVE DONE BUSINESSES IN THE PAST AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU MAY EXPECT AT THE LAKEVIEW BUSINESS DISTRICT AND THE NEXT LIGHT TALKS ABOUT SPARKING THE ECONOMIC ENGINE OF ROWLET RIGHT NOW 63 PERCENT OF THE EXISTING WORKFORCE COMMUTE OUTSIDE THE CITY 63 PERCENT LEAVES ROWLET EVERY DAY TO GO TO WORK. YOUR AVERAGE COMMUTER AND ROWLET EXPERIENCE SEES A 33 MINUTE COMMUTE TIME AND YOU HAVE A WORKFORCE WITH 51 PERCENT OF YOUR WORKFORCE IN THE CITY MAKING LESS THAN $20 AN HOUR IF YOU TAKE THAT 51 PERCENT AND YOU AVERAGE OUT THE WAGES THIS AN AVERAGE OF $14.88 AN HOUR IN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT IS DESIGN ESTIMATED TO BRING IN 1034 NEW JOBS AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO COMMUTE ANYMORE EVERY DAY AND WE WILL BE INCREASING THE GOAL TO INCREASE THE AVERAGE AT 51 PERCENT MAKING LESS THAN $21 BECAUSE THE AVERAGE INCOME IS $19.90 DEVON CENTS AN HOUR THERE ARE NUMEROUS JOBS THAT PAY AS MUCH IS $60 AN HOUR SO THIS IS A WHITE-COLLAR AND BLUE-COLLAR WORKFORCE YOU HAVE IN THE CITY.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SPARKING THE ECONOMIC ENGINE IN TERMS OF TAX REVENUE RIGHT NOW YOU ARE AT 2022 IN PROPOSED AND ANTICIPATED PROJECTED INCOME THAT MEANS 7 AND A HALF PERCENT OF YOUR INCOME IS FROM RESIDENIAL TAXES AND COMMERCIAL TAXES AND OUR PROJECT WHICH WAS A STUDY CONDUCTED BY AN INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY ESTIMATED THE TAX GENERATION AND REVENUE CREATED OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS WOULD BE $74.2 MILLION.

21.5 ROUGHLY 1.1 AND ALMOST 35 MILLION WE GO DIRECTLY TO GARLAND ISD AND THIS WOULD INCREASE THE ESTIMATED COMMERCIAL TAX REVENUE FOR THE CITY OF ROWLET BY 11 PERCENT THESE ARE ESTIMATED FIGURES DONE BY AN OUTSIDE THIRD PARTY SO 21 PERCENT AND THE 79 PERCENT RESIDENTIAL TAX WHICH IS A HEAVY BURDEN ON YOUR CITIZENS WILL HELP ALLEVIATE THAT NUMBER THE NEXT SLIDE WE'LL TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MICHELLE TO WRAP UP AND CONCLUDE OUR PRESENTATION.

>> AT THE JANUARY PLANNING AND ZONING HEARING WE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR THE CONCERNS FROM THE CITIZENS. SEVERAL MEMBERS WERE OUT THAT EVENING AND MANY WERE NEW BUT IT WAS VERY APPARENT TO US AND EVIDENTLY NEEDED TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND WE NEEDED TO POSIT WE

[03:35:05]

NEEDED TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY. A SERIES OF STUDIES WERE IN PROCESS BUT WE ELECTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH MORE STUDIES TO BETTER PROVIDE INFORMATION AND CLARITY TO THE CITIZENS OF ROWLET WE FOLLOWED UP WITH INDIVIDUALS ONE-ON-ONE WE FOLLOWED UP WITH PERSONAL PHONE CALLS PERSONAL EMAILS TEXTS ETC. WE SET UP A WEBSITE AND SAID WE ARE GOING TO STOP AND PAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK AND WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS NOW INSTEAD OF WAITING AND IT INDICATED WITH THE NORMAL PROCESS WAS. OUR SOLE PURPOSE RIGHT NOW IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. IT'S WHO WE ARE, IT'S WHAT WE DO, IT'S IMPORTANT TO US WE ENGAGED A TIA TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS DRAINAGE STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY A SOUND STUDY A LIGHT STUDY WE DID THIS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO HAVE BETTER TRANSPARENCY WE HEARD THE CONCERNS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HIT THEM HEAD-ON AND WE SET UP A WEBSITE TO GIVE PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE Q&A. IT'S DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY ON A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT AFTER YOU HAVE SET UP COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND TO SIT UP FRONT AND ANSWER Q&A OVER AND OVER I KNOW YOU ARE USED TO IT AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT BUT WE DO HAVE A GENUINE DESIRE TO BE A PART OF ROWLET FUNDAMENTALLY WE WOULD HAVE TO ? WE WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED IF WE DID IT. WE WOULD HAVE ENGAGE THESE STUDIES IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A GENUINE DESIRE TO DO THIS TO BE PART ABOUT WHICH YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WE MET AND WE MET SOME GREAT PEOPLE THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR HOME AND WE DON'T WANT TO SCREW UP WE DON'T WANT TO COME IN AND LEAVE CRAPPY STUFF. WE WANT TO BE PART OF ROWLET.

WE WANT TO BRING JOBS TO ROWLET WE WANT TO BRING INVESTMENT TO ROWLET WE WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. AFTER EACH COMMUNITY EVENT WE HOSTED THREE WE FOLLOWED UP AND THEY KEPT US TO TASK I HAVE TO TELL YOU WE HAD FOLLOW-UP ITEMS AFTER EVERY MEETING AND WE STARTED THE MEETING WITH THIS IS WHAT YOU TOLD US YOU WANTED BETTER GRAPHICS QSA PROJECT TOUR OF ALL THE BUILDINGS YOU BUILT IN THE LAST 10 YEARS IF YOU OWN THEM OR NOT WE DID IT WE DID A MAP WE GAVE THEM ADDRESSES WE LIVE STREAMED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE SO YOU CAN SEE THE ENGAGEMENT WE DIDN'T HOLD ANYTHING IT WAS HARD IT WAS BRUTAL IT WAS DIFFICULT BUT WE DID THAT BECAUSE IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HAVE INFORMATION EXCHANGE IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BE TRANSPARENT WE COMMUNICATED WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES WE ATTENDED MEETINGS AT THE BOWL AROMA. IS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE DID BECAUSE WE WANTED TO BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY WE REACHED OUT TO THE PARKS AND DEPARTMENT WE REACHED OUT TO KEEP ROWLET BEAUTIFUL AND HOW DO WE BE BETTER COMMUNITY MEMBERS HOW TO RECONNECT WITH YOU HOW DO WE FIGURE OUT THIS TRAIL SYSTEM? IF WE JUST REALLY WANTED TO CUT AND RUN WE WOULDN'T HAVE SPENT THIS MUCH TIME ON ENGAGEMENT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US I HOPE YOU SAW A NUMBER OF CITIES AND THE NUMBER OF MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED US FOR THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US AND WE DO TAKE IT PERSONAL. IN CLOSING I JUST WANT TO SAY IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY WE WANT TO INVEST IN ROWLET WE WANT TO BRING JOBS TO THE AREA WE WANT TO BE A CATALYST FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WE WANT MORE IMPORTANTLY THAN EVER TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

I RESPECT DIFFERING VIEWS AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE EVERYBODY'S MINDSET THE ONE THING WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT IS THE PLACE WE CALL HOME AND I EXPECT THAT ? I RESPECT THAT THANK YOU FOR GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING SOMETHING TO YOUR CITY.

> THANK YOU. >> ARE YOU READY TO TALK ABOUT

[03:40:13]

>> WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STUDY WE HAVE CONDUCTED AND IF THAT SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS FOR TRANSPARENT COMPANY I'M HAPPY TO WALK THROUGH THIS

WITH YOU. >> I THINK THOSE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED BY CITIZENS TONIGHT WE EITHER ATTENDED OR WASH THOSE WOULD BEING ABLE TO DO IT AGAIN TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE HIGH POINTS I THINK WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.

>> HOW DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED WITH THAT?

>> WE WOULD START WITH A QUESTION FIRST.

>> LET'S START WITH THE SOUND ISSUES. YOU DID A SOUND STUDY TO HAVE

DETAILS ON THAT? >> I AM CAROL THE ACOUSTICAL CONSULTANT, WE WERE HIRED TO PERFORM A NOISE ASSESSMENT SO WE USED THE NOISE CODE FOR THE CITY OF ROWLET WHICH HAS A L 10 AND L 90 ALLOWABLE LIMIT EMILY DID AN ASSESSMENT THAT WAS A THRESHOLD AT NIGHTTIME THE LOWER LEVELS WE WERE TRYING TO ACHIEVE AND WE HAVE 34 IDLING TRUCKS AT ONE TIME AND 35 HVAC UNITS MOUNTED ON THE ROOF AND WE USE THE SITE PLAN DRAWINGS AND MECHANICAL DRAWINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PLACE THEM CORRECTLY AND WE ALSO PERFORMED AN AMBIENT STUDY PRIOR JUST TO GET THE EXISTING NOISE LEVELS OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE MINIMAL IMPACT BECAUSE THIS EXISTING SOUND LEVEL IS ELEVATED BECAUSE OF THE HIGHWAY AND THE SITE OPERATIONS WOULD BE MINIMAL AND WE HAVE SOME TABLES ON THE SCREEN THAT SHOW VARIOUS RECEPTORS THAT WE ASSESSED AND YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THOSE ARE PLACED AROUND THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND IF WE GO BACK TO THE TABLE WE CAN SEE THAT THERE IS A THRESHOLD OF PEOPLE SAY IT'S GOING TO BE LOUD THAT'S VERY SUBJECTIVE SO THERE STUDIES THAT HAVE SHOWN THAT A BARELY PERCEPTIBLE CHANGE IF IT INCREASES OR DECREASES A THREE DECIBEL CHANGES BARELY PERCEPTIBLE SOME PEOPLE WON'T EVEN NOTICE IT SO WE DID THAT ASSESSMENT ABOVE JUST ASSESSING THE L 10 AND L 90 WE TOOK THE AMBIEN ATTENDED A ACTIVE NOISE OF WHAT THE SITE WOULD PRODUCE WHICH IS NOT IN THE NOISE CODE SO WE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SEE WHAT THE IMPACT WOULD BE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE TABLES TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN WE ARE SHOWING CHANGES IN AMBIENT SO THE PREDICTED SOUND LEVEL OF THE SITE OPERATION IS 39.4 THEME MEASURED AMBIENT SOUND LEVEL A 24 HOUR AROUND THAT LOCATION IS 47.8 SO IF YOU ADD THE NOISE TOGETHER YOU GET A SOUND LEVEL WHICH IS 8.6 DECIBEL CHANGE

[03:45:05]

WHICH IS BARELY PERCEPTIBLE AND IF WE GO DOWN TO RECEPTOR 11 WHICH IS THE CLOSEST TO THE

SITE YOU CAN SEE THAT RECEPTOR HAS THE HIGHEST ADDITIVE NOISE >> RECEPTOR 11 IS ON THE

PROPERTY HERE ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER >> AND ADDING NOISE TO THAT WAS 1.6 DECIBELS CHANGE THAT'S IN THE BARELY PERCEPTIBLE RANGE UNLESS THE HIGHEST SOUND LEVEL

THAT WAS PREDICTED WITH OUR MODELING SO THE IMPACT >> WHEN WERE THESE RECEPTORS

OUT? WHEN GGG THE STUDY? >> I HAVEN'T DATED HERE IT HAS BEEN A WHILE. IT WAS EARLIER THIS YEAR. THE STUDY WAS PERFORMED ON

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2022. >>

>> SO IT SHOWS THERE IS A BARELY PERCEPTIBLE CHANGE TO THE EXISTING SOUND LEVEL.

>> I WONDERED HOW YOU CAME UP WITH A NUMBER OF TRUCKS TO GET AN AVERAGE OF WHAT THEY COULD

EXPECT WHEN IT'S BUILT IT UP. >> SO WE USE THE NUMBERS TO PREDICT THE ? INSIDE THE FACILITY AND WE RAN A SCENARIO WHERE WE DOUBLED ? AND NO CHANGE I BELIEVE IT WAS NO IMPACT TO THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ON THE SOUND PORTION? OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO NEXT? I NEED A LIST OF STUDIES LET'S

TO TRAFFIC. >> I AM GOING TO YIELD THE

FLOOR >> SO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW WE SUBMITTED A DRAFT TO CITY STAFF AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ADDRESSING THOSE COMMENTS AND I WILL PROVIDE WHAT WE HAVE FOR OUR INITIAL RESULTS AND ASSUMPTIONS AND SO EVERY ANALYSIS HAS TO START AND

SCHOOL IS IN SESSION >> AND CHANGES TODAY AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND JACKSON SHAW PLAN TO INSTALL THOSE AND PERFORMANCE OF TRAFFIC THAT'S A BIG SUBJECT, IT'S TWO DIFFERENT METRICS THE MOST COMMON IS ? FREE FLOWING TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION OR GRIDLOCK TRAFFIC BETWEEN 5 AND 6 PM AND WE SAW THAT FUNCTIONING WE SAW IT IS ANTICIPATED SPENDING THOUSANDS

[03:51:00]

EXCELLENT QUESTION WE DON'T KNOW WHO SUPPOSED TO GO FIRST AND THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL GREATLY ENHANCES THAT WHEN IT IS TIME TO COORDINATED WELL IT MAKES UP FOR A LOT OF DEFICIENCIES AND THIS IS WHY YOU SEE A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT AND ADDITIONALLY THIS DISTRIBUTION WHICH IS HOW THE TROOPS GET TO AND FROM THE SITE WE ARE NOT EXPECTING A MAJOR IMPACT BECAUSE THE RAMPS THE OFFRAMP IN ON-RAMP TO THE GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE ARE JUST OFF OF ? SO MOST OF THAT TRAFFIC WILL BE USING THOSE RAMPS AND PASSING BY THE INTERCHANGE SO THAT'S WHY WE SEE THE ACTUAL INCREASE IN THE LETTER GRADE IS BECAUSE OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THE TRAFFIC

SIGNALS. >> THANK YOU.

QUESTIONS? >> SO THIS MAY BE A QUESTION FOR THE DEVELOPER BUT HOW MANY 18 WHEELERS DO WE PROJECT? THEY ARE GOING TO BE COMING OUT OF THERE AT NIGHT HOURS? AFTER 10 PM? IS THAT POTENTIAL?

>> I CAN ADDRESS IN TERMS OF THE HOURS THAT THEY LOOK AT AND TALK ABOUT THE GENERATION RATES THEY ARE PROVIDED FOR THE PEAK HOUR OF ADJACENT STREET TRAFFIC AND ALSO PROVIDED FOR THE PEAK HOUR OF ? THE HIGHEST USED TIME ON THE SITES FOR EXAMPLE A MOVIE THEATERS HIGHEST TIME WILL BE AFTER THE EVENING RUSH HOUR SO WE HAVE THOSE THE MANUAL DOES NOT PROVIDE GENERATION RATES FOR OFF-PEAK HOURS SO THERE'S NOT A CREDIBLE OR ACCURATE WAY TO ESTIMATE THE

NUMBER OF TROOPS IT WILL DEPEND IF THE SITE IS OPERATIONAL AND >> I WILL HAVE ANOTHER FOLLOW-UP QUESTION AND THE OTHER QUESTION IS DID YOU DO AN ANALYSIS ON THE NORTHBOUND ON RAMP TO THE TURNPIKE ON THE SERVICE ROAD?

>> WE TOOK A QUICK LOOK AT THAT SO THE DESIGN OF RAMPS IS BY TEXAS DOT THEY HAVE A SPEED RANGE THAT IS ALLOWABLE YOU NEED TO BE WITHIN A CERTAIN SPEED RANGE WHEN YOU ARE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND THAT'S NO LESS THAN 50 PERCENT AND SO IS 70 MILES AN HOUR SO THE ALLOWABLE RANGE IS 35 MILES AN HOUR AND UP THE RAMP IS 1200 FEET LONG AS ONE OF THE LONGEST RAMPS IN THIS AREA AND BASED OFF OF THE ? WE WENT TO ANOTHER SOURCE THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF STATE HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS WHICH PROVIDES ACCELERATION RATES WERE TRUCKS FOR TYPICAL TRUCK THAT'S A, A POWER RATIO A TECHNICAL TERM BEST TYPICAL HEAVY TRUCK WE'RE GOING TO GET TO 45 MILES AN HOUR SO YOU ARE WITHIN THE ALLOWABLE RANGE PER STANDARDS NO TRUCK IS EXPECTED TO GET UP TO 60 MILES AN HOUR THEY ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE A ACCELERATION

[03:55:09]

OCCUR >> IT'S STILL A LITTLE CONCERNING GIVEN THE SPEED OF GOING ON A 75 MILE AN HOUR HIGHWAY AND CARS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HURRY UP AND MOVE OVER AND THAT IS A GOOD ANSWER FOR ME. THANK YOU.

>> YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT YOU SUBMITTED YOUR TRAFFIC ANALYSIS TO STAFF AND THAT THEY WERE ADDRESSING IT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU OR STAFF ARE PREPARED TO BRING US UP TO SPEED ON HOW THEY HAVE ADDRESSED THOSE ISSUES?

>> I'M HAPPY TO COMMENT ON WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH THE PRIMARY COMMENTS ARE IF IT WAS TO INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL LOOK INTO WHAT THE TRAFFIC WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN ? EXPENSES ALL THE WAY TO LIBERTY GROVE ROAD AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TURNING ON FRONTAGE ROAD IN LIBERTY ROAD SO ADDING ? MAKES THAT A MUCH SIMPLER MOVEMENT SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT AND THE LEVEL OF SERVICE GRADE OF THE INTERSECTIONS TO SEE WHAT THE IMPACTS ARE THERE THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS ARE THERE LEVEL SERVICE C OR BETTER WE ARE FINALIZING THAT AND WILL SUBMIT AN UPDATED VERSION TO STAFF BUT THOSE OF THE MAIN CHANGES.

>> THANK YOU. >> IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND JUST ADDRESSING AS I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE SUBMITTED PLANS TO STAFF.

WE ARE NOT COMPLETE WITH OUR REVIEW, IS THAT CORRECT? I WANT TO THAT THAT THE DEVELOPER DEVELOPED THE TIA IN AN EFFORT TO HELP ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS THEY WERE HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC. AT THIS POINT IT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED BUT WE HAVE NOT COMPLETED OUR REVIEW YET IS THAT FAIR? SUE IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PRELIMINARY STUDY WAS TO HAVE SOME BASE POINTS FOR THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETINGS AND HAVE SOME DATA AVAILABLE FOR CITY COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR DECISION TONIGHT OR TAKE ACTION TONIGHT WE DID LOOK AT THE PRELIMINARY STUDY BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR ? FOR

LATER. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY I DO UNDERSTAND THAT AND APPRECIATE THE EFFORT OF THE DEVELOPER TO DO THAT STUDY BECAUSE I DO UNDERSTAND IT'S QUITE EXPENSIVE AND IT HELPS, THANK YOU.

>> COUNCILMEMBER ? >> GIVEN THAT LIBERTY GROVE IS NOT A TRUCK ROUTE I ASSUME THAT MEANS NOW 18 WHEELERS COMING FROM JACKSON SHAW OR TO JACKSON SHAW WILL BE UTILIZING LIBERTY

GROVE. >> I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT HOW I ANSWER THIS BECAUSE I GOT A LOT OF HEAT DURING THE LAST FOUR WITH RESIDENTS, WE HAVE NO DRIVEWAYS PLANNED NOT TO LIBERTY GROVE IN THE MOST EFFICIENT TRUCK ROUTE WOULD BE GETTING ON GEORGE BUSH OR YEAH WE HAVE NO ENTRY OR ACCESS POINTS RIGHT NOW FROM OUR

DEVELOPMENT. >> I THINK THAT'S ON THE CITY TO ENFORCE. I WOULD NOT APPROVE IT THERE ARE SOME TRUCK ROUTES WE NEED TO EXAMINE AND IF THIS IS WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT WERE TO GO THROUGH THERE ARE SOME TRUCK ROUTES AND THAT'S AN ENFORCEMENT ISSUE FROM THE CITY SIDE THAT WE NEED TO BE DONE IF THIS DEVELOPMENT WERE TO HAPPEN.

>> I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A SAY IN THAT BUT WE WOULD FULLY SUPPORT THAT BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE WANT IS TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE RESIDENCE. WE WANT THEM TO APPRECIATE THE DEVELOPMENT. WE WOULD SUPPORT THAT IF THAT'S WERE SOMETHING ? OUTSIDE OF OUR

CONTROL. >> WHAT ELSE

[04:00:02]

>> THIS IS TIME TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HEARD IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION AND TO ADDRESS THOSE TO ANYBODY WHO MIGHT STILL BE UP WATCHING AT HOME.

>> MY NAME IS DAN GALLAGHER 1455 MILL ROAD DALLAS TEXAS. WE HAVE PREPARED A CONDITIONAL LETTER AND MATT DID A TERRIFIC JOB OF EXPLAINING THAT THERE ARE FEMA RULES WHERE GOVERNED BY STATE AND CITY LAWS. THERE IS NO GRAY AREA LOOSE REQUIREMENTS ARE SPECIFICALLY STATED THERE WAS A FLOODPLAIN ON THE SITE. ARE YOU RAISING WATER SURFACE ELEVATIONS SO THE PURPOSE OF IT ? IS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU ARE NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACTING ANY NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES WE DID SEND AN ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM A TO CONDUCT A REVIEW FOUND NO SPACE SHOOT ? ENDANGERED SPECIES. OUR PORTION IS COMPLETED ? MERIT LIBERTY INTERCHANGE SO IF AT A LOT OF COORDINATION WHOSE SUITABILITY ? TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDY AND THEIR STUDY ARE SAYING THE SAME THING AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW CITY OF STATE REGULATIONS SHOWING NO ADVERSE IMPACT.

>> THE ONE PART THAT DOES CONCERN ME IS BEING THAT CLOSE TO MEHDI CREEK MAYBE HE'LL WALK THROUGH HOW THE DETENTION POND IS GOING TO WORK THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT WATERSHED I THINKS IT'S TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES WE ARE VERY FAR DOWNSTREAM CLOSE TO THE LAKE AND SO IN A DETENTION TIMING STUDY WE ARE TRYING TO IDENTIFY AT WHAT POINT IS THE WATER IT HAS HIGHEST ELEVATION THAT IS ACTUALLY MUCH FURTHER ? THERE EXPERIENCING THE HIGHEST RAINFALL SO I DETENTION TIMING STUDY HAS FOUND THAT RELEASING THE RUNOFF DIRECTLY INTO THE CREEK WITH MINIMAL DETENTION ACTUALLY REDUCES THE WATER SURFACE ELEVATION ESSENTIALLY BEATING THE PEAK BECAUSE IT'S A MASSIVE WATERSHED. DID THAT MAKE SENSE?

>> IT DOESN'T TERMS OF VOLUME. AND THAT'S REALLY WHERE MY CONCERN IS.

>> THAT IS A PART OF THE REVIEW ? AS IT RELATES TO THE SCHOOL AND SHE ? I SURE IT'S A DISCUSSION POINT. WE'RE GOING TO ? WHAT IS GOING INTO THE CREEK IT WAS GOING INTO THE LAKE AND PART OF OUR STUDY IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.

>> UNDERSTOOD AND IT'S A VALID QUESTION. WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL?

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION.

SO IS THIS 24 HOURS? ARE PEOPLE GOING TO BE WOKEN UP BY BACKUP ALARMS? HOW MANY TRUCKS WILL BE BACKING UP EARLY IN THE MORNING?

>> IT'S A SPECULATIVE DEVELOPMENT WE DON'T KNOW THE HOURS OF OPERATION.BUT I WOULD LIKE TO YIELD THE FLOOR AGAIN TO OUR SALES STUDY ENGINEER WHO CONDUCTED A STUDY OF BACKUP NOISES AND HER CONCLUSION WAS ? THERE WILL BE AN IMPACT TO THE HOME ASSEMBLY'S IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.

>> I SAW THE STUDY. >> IT WAS INCLUDED.

[04:05:02]

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WHY DID YOU ASKED TO WAIVE THE TWO-YEAR

>> WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THAT?

>> ARE FULL INTENT IS TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE THEIR CURRENT CONDITIONS THE SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPMENT IN YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN DOWN THE ROAD BUT AS IT RELATES AND THIS IS A LARGE LAND ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT SO WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO AN EQUITY PARTNER FOR US TO PURCHASE THIS LAND WITH OUR PARTNERS WE HAVE TO KNOW THIS IS AN INDUSTRIAL ZONE AND WILL BE INTENDED FOR THAT USE OF ANY KIND OF CLAWBACK PROVISION POST THE LAND IN JEOPARDY OF WHAT IT COULD BE DOWN THE ROAD AND THAT WOULD BE

A NONSTARTER FOR OUR PARTNERS. >> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT AT THIS TIME?

>> JUST OUR EXTREME THANKFULNESS FOR COUNSEL FOR THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH STAFF AND HONESTLY THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH THE RESIDENTS WE GOT TO KNOW QUITE A FEW OF THEM WHO WERE STILL HERE, THOSE WAVING IN THE BACK, CAROLYN AND HER FAMILY IN CHARLESTON IF THIS IS APPROVED WE WOULD HONOR THE COMMITMENT WE MADE TO THEM AND TO CONTINUE WORK WEEK ? WORKING WITH THE AND TO WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY THIS MEANS A LOT TO US IT MEANS A LOT TO MICHELLE AND OUR ENTIRE COMPANY AND WE PROMISE TO SAY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME FOR BEARING WITH US IN STAYING LATE IN BRINGING THOSE EXPERTS.

>> SO I WILL OPEN IT UP TO DELIBERATION IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO SAY AT THIS TIME? OKAY. I WILL MAKE A COMMENT THIS IS A HARD ONE THIS IS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME AND I REALLY LISTEN TO ALL OF THE CITIZEN INPUT AND WATCH THOSE COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND WE SPECIFICALLY LOOKED AT THIS DISTRICT AND I WAS FOUR, FIVE, SIX MONTHS AND SOMETIMES IT GOT PRETTY NASTY AND THE REASON THAT WAS LABELED AS AN EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT WAS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO PRESERVE PTHAT NORTH SHORE AREA AS AN EMPLOYMENT AREA KNOWING THAT WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT CAME IN AND WE STARTED TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER WAS GOING TO HAVE TO BE MOLDED AND TWEAKED AS THESE CAME ALONG AND IT WAS DO TO PROTECT THAT AREA FROM BECOMING A BUNCH OF MULTI FAMILY. WE COULD HAVE DEVELOPED THAT OUT FIVE YEARS AGO. THE WHOLE AREA BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO BE AT EMPLOYMENT CENTER AND BE A CATALYST AND SPUR ON THE DEVELOPMENT THERE'S DEVELOPMENTS AND WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE PIKE IS MORE APARTMENTS.HERE'S ONE STRIP SHOPPING CENTER AND THE REST OF IT IS APARTMENT

>> WE HAVE A HOSPITAL. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT IN THIS AREA AND HAS SOME ABILITY WHEN I SPEAK TO OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EXPERTS AND I SPEAK TO THE DEVELOPMENT SO WE CONTACT WITH THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY SEE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT HAS SPURRED ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND NOT ADDITIONAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BUT MIXED-USE OFFICE ALL KINDS OF BUSINESS CENTERS THAT HAVE COME OUT OF THAT THE ONE THING THAT WE HAVE GOING FOR US IS THERE'S A LOT OF LAND OVER THERE AND ANYTHING THAT COMES IN IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME IN FUTURE IS ABLE TO BE VETTED AND THIS IS MY FIRST QUESTION THE INDUSTRIAL SPARK

[04:10:06]

INDUSTRIAL EVIDENCE WAS A LONG TIME BEFORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR BECAUSE THAT WAS MY FEAR WE WERE ABLE TO GO TO EXAMPLES AROUND ME LATERAL PLEX RELEASE SPURRED ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN OTHER WAYS OF THE OTHER THING THAT WORRIED ME WAS IF THIS WAS GOING TO BE BIG BOX STORES IS NOT WHAT I WANTED BUT WHEN HE STARTED GETTING INTO THE MIX OF IT IT TRULY IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ITS LAST MILD TYPE OF STUFF IT'S INDUSTRIAL TYPE OF STUFF THAT PEOPLE ARE BUILDING STUFF IT'S GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE PART OF THE COG IN THE WHEEL AND THOSE AREN'T MINIMUM-WAGE JOBS THOSE ARE HIGH SKILLED JOBS THAT COME IN AND IF WE'RE GOING TO OFFSET THAT TAX BASE WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME WE NEED TO BRING IN MORE OF THE MEDICS TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE HERE I AM NOT JUST DISCOUNTING THE CONCERNS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ALL THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND INTERNALLY WE NEED TO LOOK AT ENFORCEMENT AND HOW WE DEAL WITH THAT AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE MIX IS RIGHT FOR US THERE'S A WHOLE PROCESS THIS IS NOT THE FINAL DEAL WE ARE NOT APPROVING THE FINAL DESIGN AND CONCEPT PLAN THIS IS A ZONING CHANGE THE GHOST OF THE NEXT PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT WE ARE GOING TO FINE-TUNE ALL OF THOSE DETAILS TO POLISH IT SO TO SPEAK TO MAKE IT THE BEST DEVELOPMENT IT CAN BE AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF REQUESTS THEY HAVE TO GET APPROVED BY THIS COUNCIL AND THERE IS THE ABILITY THEY ARE TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THEM ON THAT SO FOR THOSE REASONS AND BECAUSE I THINK IT WILL BE A CATALYST WE HAVE WAITED A LONG TIME TO DEVELOP I WILL BE IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ZONING REQUEST CHANGE. COUNCILWOMAN BELL.

>> I AGREE WITH MATT I MOVED HERE LONG TIME AGO AND BEFORE I BUILT I VISITED IN THE WATERVIEW AREA SEVERAL BUILDERS AND THEY DID INFORM ME THAT A PORTION OF MOST OF THE SLIDE FOR COMMERCIAL AND I DID NOT PURCHASE OVER THERE, THAT WASN'T THE REASON FOR IT I WANT HER TO BE CLOSER TO THE LAKE AND NOW I'LL HAVE ? PG BT IS MY NEIGHBOR I CAN HEAR THE TRAFFIC. AND IT WAS MY CHOICE BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU I LIKE WHERE I LIVE AND ALSO I WENT DOWN TO THE CITY AND I INVESTIGATED AND I'M NOT SURE IF YOU INVESTIGATED TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING TO BE BUILT. I WENT DOWN THERE. I WASN'T ON COUNCIL HOUSE JUST A REGULAR CITIZEN AND I WANT HER TO KNOW WHERE I WAS GOING TO BE LIVING AND I WAS ONLY COMPREHENSIVE COMMITTEE AND IT WAS BRUTAL WE WERE JUST DOWNRIGHT SOMETHING ELSE TO ONE ANOTHER THEY UNDERSTOOD WE WANT THE CITY TO BE PRODUCTIVE. WE ARE LIVING FOR THE YEAH.

WE HAVE TO LOOK AT ALSO PG BT WAS JUST A GLIMPSE A LONG TIME AGO AND THE PEOPLE THAT SAT THERE AND BUILT PG BT THOUGHT THEY HAVE THE VISION WE HAVE TO HAVE THE VISION FOR ROWLET.

THAT'S IT. AFTER THE VISION. AND TO ME THIS IS ONE OF THE VISIONS THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE CONSTANTLY I GET THESE COMMENT , WITH EVERY GOING TO HAVE POP WITH SIEGES? PUPPET IS.WE HAVE TO HAVE DENSITY AND TRAFFIC DURING THE DAY. THAT MAKES ? IF WE DON'T HAVE THE PEOPLE HERE TO BUY, TO WORK, THEY WILL BE SITTING DOWN EATING, WE WILL AND SOMEONE BROUGHT UP THE STATION AND THEY HAVE MULTI FAMILY AND THEY HAVE RESIDENTIAL AND THEY DO HAVE SOME RESTAURANTS OVER THERE AND

[04:15:02]

WE HAVE TO BRING IN BUSINESS AND I WILL SUPPORT IT.

[INDISCERNIBLE] > THIS IS A TOUGH DECISION BUT I WANT TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR EACH OF YOU WHO HAVE COME OUT TONIGHT FOR THOSE WHO TOOK THEIR TIME TO RESEARCH AND VISIT OTHER JACKSON SHAW DEVELOPMENTS AND ONE OF THE MAJOR FOCUSES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING COMMITTEE WAS THE NORTH SHORE AND THE THEY MISSED A LOT OF HOURS AND MONTHS GETTING THE DETAILS TOGETHER AND TO PLAN THE VISION OUT FOR THE NORTH SHORE AND I DON'T THINK THAT CAN BE DISCOUNTED.

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THOSE WHO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT IF INDUSTRIAL WAS THE KEY COMPONENT REALIZED IN THE NORTH SHORE PLAN I WOULD LEAN TOWARDS APPROVING THAT PROJECT BECAUSE OF THE BOOST TO THE ECONOMY AND WHAT THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE IN TERMS OF JOBS AND REVENUE THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO PAY FOR MORE OFFICERS AND STAFF CRITICAL ESSENTIAL ITEMS IN THE CITY AND THAT'S AN APPEALING THOUGHT HOWEVER ONE OF THE COMPONENTS THAT I'M REQUIRED TO LOOK AT WHEN CONSIDERING A ZONING CASE IS THAT THE PROPOSED ZONING MEETS THE VISION LAID OUT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I WILL BE UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF THIS WILL BRING TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE I CANNOT IGNORE THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION THAT THEY HAVE PUT INTO CREATING THE VISION FOR THE NORTH SHORE DISTRICT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ZONING CHANGE CONSIDERATION CRITERIA NUMBER TWO I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THIS CODE STATED IN ?
