ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER UPDATES? I DO HAVE A COUPLE TO PROVIDE. FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANT TO THANK ALL THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THE STAFF THAT CAME OUT TO THE COMMUNITY INFORMATION MEETING UP AT WATERVIEW WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT THE SEWER MAIN BREAK.

REALLY APPRECIATED A LOT OF THE SUGGESTIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY. THERE WAS A LOT OF COLLABORATIVE DISCUSSION THAT HAPPENED, AND IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. AND SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO CAME OUT AND WERE A PART OF THAT DISCUSSION, AS WELL AS OUR STAFF WHO CAME OUT AND GAVE ALL OF THOSE DIFFICULT PRESENTATIONS.

AND THEN LASTLY THIS COMING SATURDAY, JULY 19TH, DOLLARAMA WILL BE HOSTING A FUNDRAISING DRIVE FOR THOSE IMPACTED BY THE FLOODING IN KERR COUNTY. AND SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, THEY ARE IN THEIR BOWLING ALLEY OR BOWLING CENTER, I GUESS IS THE RIGHT NAME.

RIGHT? RIGHT. ALISA. YEAH, IT IS BOWLING CENTER.

[00:10:02]

THEY ARE HOSTING BOWLING ALL DAY FROM 10 A.M.

TO 1 A.M., 10 A.M. SATURDAY TO 1 A.M. THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY MORNING.

WHERE YOU CAN COME OUT AND YOU CAN BOWL. AND ALL OF THE BOWLING PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THOSE THOSE VICTIMS OF THAT FLOODING.

THERE'S A NONPROFIT DOWN THERE THAT THEY'RE CONTRIBUTING TO. SO NOT JUST PROFITS, BUT ALL THE PROCEEDS FROM THE BOWLING.

SO IF YOU SHOW UP AND THROW A FEW FRAMES, THAT COUNTS TOWARD THAT, THAT AMOUNT.

SO I WILL BE THERE ON SATURDAY. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU AND INVITE ALL OF YOU, AS WELL AS THOSE WATCHING FROM HOME, AS WELL AS MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS. IF YOU'RE FREE ON SATURDAY, COME OUT, THROW A COUPLE OF BALLS WITH ME, AND WE CAN HELP RAISE MONEY FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN IMPACTED.

THROW A ROLL. OH. AND THEN LASTLY. WAS THAT NOT IN THE ANNOUNCEMENTS? I GUESS IT WASN'T. SO WE DO HAVE WE'RE THE STREET LIGHTS IN THE ANNOUNCEMENTS.

NO, NO. SO WE DO HAVE STREET LIGHTS THAT ARE GOING UP ALONG LAKEVIEW PARKWAY.

THERE ARE SOLAR STREET LIGHTS. THAT PROJECT HAS STARTED AND IT STARTED ON THE EAST END OF TOWN ON THE WESTBOUND LANES OF HIGHWAY 66.

SO YESTERDAY THEY MADE IT ALL THE WAY, BASICALLY FROM THE TWO MILE BRIDGE, WHERE SCENIC POINT PARK IS ALL THE WAY TO DOW ROCK ROAD.

AND THEN TODAY THEY CONTINUED, AND THEY WENT ALL THE WAY FROM DAL ROCK ROAD ALMOST TO KAISER. SO THEY MADE TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS PROGRESS. AND THAT'S ESTIMATED TO TAKE ABOUT 2 TO 3 WEEKS TO COMPLETE THAT INSTALLATION.

BUT YOU'LL SEE THOSE STREETLIGHTS GOING UP AND ALL THE LIGHTING UP AND DOWN LAKEVIEW PARKWAY IS GOING TO MAKE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE FOR DRIVABILITY AND SAFETY IN THE DARK HOURS. SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT AS WELL. COUNCIL, ANY OTHER UPDATES? THANK YOU FOR THAT. MAYOR PRO TEM. ALL RIGHT.

[5. CITIZENS’ INPUT]

WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS CITIZENS INPUT.

AT THIS TIME, COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE AUDIENCE ON ANY TOPIC.

NO ACTION CAN BE TAKEN BY THE COUNCIL DURING CITIZEN'S INPUT.

I DO HAVE TWO REQUESTS TO SPEAK FORMS. IF YOU DO WISH TO SPEAK THIS EVENING, YOU CAN GRAB A REQUEST TO SPEAK FOR HIM IN THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE ROOM.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS STEVEN PRUITT JR.

AND AFTER MR. PRUITT WILL BE DAVE HALL. AND IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. ROY JUNIOR, I LIVE IN ROWLETT.

I'VE CALLED ROWLETT HOME SINCE 1993. I'M HERE TODAY TO VOICE A VERY SERIOUS CONCERN ABOUT THE UTILITY BILL PAY SYSTEM. I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A HOME BACK IN MARCH.

CLOSED ON MY FIRST HOUSE THAT I BOUGHT. AND I TAKE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY VERY SERIOUS.

I HAVE A SEVEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, AND I HAVE 78 YEAR OLD PARENTS THAT I'M TAKING CARE OF AT MY HOUSE.

AND SO I MADE SURE ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT I DID WAS I SET UP AUTOPAY FOR ALL OF MY BILLS TO INCLUDE THE CITY OF ROWLETT UTILITIES.

SO I WAS VERY UPSET WHEN I RECEIVED A DELINQUENT NOTICE FOR MY UTILITY BILL THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN SET UP FOR AUTOPAY. SO AT THIS POINT, THIS WAS IN JUNE. ON JUNE 25TH, I RECEIVED A DELINQUENT NOTICE SAYING THAT MY UTILITY BILL WAS NOT ONE, BUT TWO MONTHS LATE BECAUSE MY MAY BILL FOR SOME REASON JUST DID NOT GET PAID.

AND THIS WAS ON. AND THEN MY JUNE BILL, FOR WHATEVER REASON, DID NOT GET PAID EITHER.

AND SO THE FIRST THING I DID WAS CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE.

YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE THAT WORKED FOR THE CITY ARE GREAT.

THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT BECAUSE I SET MY BILL PAY FOR FIRST FOR THE FIRST, THAT SOMETIMES THOSE BILLS DON'T GO THROUGH FOR SOME REASON AND THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY. SO ALTHOUGH YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON WAS GREAT, THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION FOR WHY MY BILL PAY THAT WAS SET UP FOR THE FIRST DID NOT ACTUALLY GET MY BILL PAID FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, WHICH MEANS THAT I HAD TO ADJUST FOR MY PERSONAL ACCOUNTING FOR MY BILL, BECAUSE NOW INSTEAD OF PAYING ONE BILL, I HAD TO PAY TWO MONTH'S WORTH OF UTILITY BILL AT ONE TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT MY BILL, MY UTILITIES, DID NOT GET CUT OFF BY JULY 9TH. I WAS NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

ALSO, YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE REP LET ME KNOW THAT THEY GET A LOT OF CALLS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM.

BILL'S JUST NOT BEING PAID EVEN THOUGH AUTOPAY IS SET UP IN THE SYSTEM, SO I DON'T LIKE TO JUST COME WITH PROBLEMS. A COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THE CITY COUNCIL CAN DO, BUT MAYBE JUST, YOU KNOW, PUT A WARNING IN YOUR SYSTEM THAT IF SOMEBODY IS GOING TO SET UP AUTOPAY ON A SPECIFIC DATE, THEN JUST HAVE A SPLASH PAGE THAT SAYS, HEY, YOU'RE SETTING UP AUTOPAY FOR THIS DATE, BUT YOUR BILL MIGHT NOT GET PAID ON THAT DATE.

PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT, OR SET UP A SYSTEM WHERE BILLS GET PAID ON THE DATE THAT PEOPLE SET UP, IF THEY'RE ON FIXED FINANCES. I'M NOT NECESSARILY ON FIXED FINANCES, BUT I PREFER TO HAVE MY BILLS PAID ON A CERTAIN DATE.

IF THAT CAN'T HAPPEN AND I NEED TO ADJUST THAT, THEN I WILL DO THAT.

BUT RIGHT NOW, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT CURRENTLY WORK FOR SOMEBODY LIKE ME THAT WANTS TO SET UP THEIR BILL TO AUTOMATICALLY PAY ON THE FIRST,

[00:15:08]

AND THAT'S ALL I HAD. I JUST I WAS JUST VERY FRUSTRATED.

I GOT A DELINQUENT NOTICE. IT SCARED ME A LITTLE BIT.

AND ALSO MADE ME VERY FRUSTRATED. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. PRUITT.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS DAVE HULL. WHOLE. DAVE, IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR CITY AND DAVE HULL ROULETTE.

EVERYTHING I SUBSEQUENTLY MENTIONED IS DOCUMENTED IN THE EXHIBITS THAT ARE COMING BY TO YOU.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE SHOWN YOU THE RETAINING WALL, WHICH HAS BEEN BUILT BY THE VINEYARD'S DEVELOPER IN THE INGRESS AND EGRESS EASEMENT TO MY TWO HOUSES AT 6809 AND 6811 MILLER ROAD. THIS EASEMENT IS RECORDED IN A WARRANTY DEED FILED WITH DALLAS COUNTY AND DEEDED TO ME, ALONG WITH MY PROPERTY AT 6809 MILLER ROAD AND 6811 MILLER ROAD, AS AN INGRESS AND EGRESS EASEMENT.

FOR 40 YEARS, IT WAS THE ONLY ACCESS TO MY TWO HOUSES.

THE CITY HAS PASSED AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING ME TO USE THIS INGRESS AND EGRESS EASEMENT WHEN I MOVE KAYAKS FROM 68 OR 9 MILLER TO PADDLE POINT PARK.

YOU. THE CITY HAVE ALLOWED THE VINEYARD'S DEVELOPER TO BUILD A RETAINING WALL IN THIS EASEMENT.

YOU, THE CITY HAVE SAID THE EASEMENT IS ONLY A UTILITY EASEMENT.

HOWEVER, YOUR RESEARCH AND THE EASEMENT STATES THAT IT IS AN INGRESS AND EGRESS EASEMENT.

YOU STATE WE DON'T EMPLOY STAFF WITH THE EQUIPMENT OR KNOWLEDGE TO PERFORM A SURVEY.

SO NOW YOU HAVE A DEVELOPER WHO IS LONG GONE.

WHO BUILT THIS RETAINING WALL IN THE WRONG PLACE BLOCKING MY INGRESS EGRESS EASEMENT.

AND YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT. PLEASE LET ME REMIND YOU, THE DEVELOPER DID NOT BUILD THIS RETAINING WALL IN THE LOCATION AS REQUIRED ON THE PLAT.

APPROVED AND ACCEPTED BY YOU. TONIGHT, YOU ARE VOTING ON SEVERAL ITEMS TO ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO BUILD MULTIFAMILY TOWNHOMES AND CONDOMINIUMS. IF YOU CAN'T ASSURE THE CONTIGUOUS LANDOWNERS THAT THESE DEVELOPMENTS WILL NOT BE MISTAKENLY BUILT IN THE WRONG LOCATIONS, THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD STOP APPROVING DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND ISSUING BUILDING PERMITS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. HALL. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE FROM THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK THIS EVENING? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS. ITEM SIX.

[6. CONSENT AGENDA]

THE FOLLOWING MAY BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION. A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER OR A CITIZEN MAY REQUEST ITEMS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION.

DO WE HAVE ANY INDIVIDUAL CONSENT? MISTER BOWERS.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE ITEM SIX B TO INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION.

I DO WANT TO SAY I DO SUPPORT THE HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION. I JUST WANT TO MOVE IT FOR TRANSPARENCY TO THE PUBLIC. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A REQUEST TO PULL ITEM SIX B.

COUNCIL. ANY OTHER ITEMS WE WANT TO PULL FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION OR ANYONE FROM THE AUDIENCE.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE CITY SECRETARY, PLEASE READ THE REMAINING CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS INTO THE RECORD.

CONSIDER ACTION APPROVING THE MINUTES. 60. CONSIDER ACTION SUSPENDING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE RATE INCREASE SUBMITTED BY ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY. 60 CONSIDER ACTION APPROVING A CELL TOWER LEASE AGREEMENT WITH T-MOBILE.

SIX CONSIDER ACTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF ROADWAY MATERIALS FROM TEXAS MATERIALS GROUP, INC., DBA TEXAS BET AND SIX F CONSIDER ACTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR STREET LIGHTING SERVICE WITH ENCORE.

ALL RIGHT, COUNSEL, DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS AS READ THE MOTION BY MR. REEVES. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ITEMS IS READ. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. REEVES, A SECOND BY MR. BRITTON. I SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? LET'S CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT.

AND THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT, NOW WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM SIX B,

[6B. Consider action supporting the Rowlett Housing Finance Corporation’s Application for Reservation with the Texas Bond Review Board.]

WHICH HAS BEEN PULLED FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. CONSIDER ACTIONS SUPPORTING THE HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION'S APPLICATION FOR RESERVATION WITH THE TEXAS BOND REVIEW BOARD. AND PRESENTING THAT ITEM WILL BE MR. MIKE KUHN.

GOOD EVENING. COUNSEL. SO I WANT TO START AND SAY THIS IS NOT DEBT OF THE CITY, NOR IS IT NECESSARILY DEBT OF THE HFC PER SE.

SO WHAT THIS IS, IS IT'S A PROGRAM BY WHICH SO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING COMMUNITY AFFAIRS ISSUES MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS, AND THEY USE THOSE MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS TO FUND SOMETHING CALLED THEIR MY, MY FIRST TEXAS HOME.

IT'S A HOMEBUYER PROGRAM. SO FOR PEOPLE THAT MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS, HOMEBUYER OR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS, VETERANS, THEY CAN GET ACCESS TO 30 YEAR BELOW MARKET INTEREST RATE MORTGAGES, DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE,

[00:20:05]

CLOSING COST ASSISTANCE, AND MORTGAGE CREDIT CERTIFICATES FOR THEIR FEDERAL TAXES.

SO IN ORDER TO FUND THAT PROGRAM THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING COMMUNITY AFFAIRS HAS TO ISSUE MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS.

SO THESE ARE PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS. PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS ARE REGULATED AT A FEDERAL LEVEL.

EACH STATE IS ALLOWED TO ISSUE A CERTAIN AMOUNT, SO IT GETS CHARGED OUT AMONG ALL THE OTHER STATES.

ALL 50 STATES. AND SO IN TEXAS, WE HAVE TO RESERVE THAT CAPACITY BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH GIVEN EACH YEAR.

SO WHAT THIS IS, IS THAT THE HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION FOR ROWLETT IS REQUESTING UP TO $4 MILLION AND THEN ASSIGNING THAT TO TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, SO THEY HAVE ACCESS TO AN ADDITIONAL $4 MILLION OF CAPACITY FOR THEIR MORTGAGE REVENUE BOND PROGRAM.

BY DOING SO, THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS WILL ALSO PRIORITIZE UTILIZING THAT WITHIN THE CITY OF ROWLETT, AND THEY'LL GIVE THE ROWLETT HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION A SMALL FEE FOR ANY BONDS THAT ARE ISSUED UNDER THAT ALLOCATION FOR A TEN YEAR PERIOD.

WE'VE BEEN A PART OF THIS PROGRAM FOR A FEW YEARS.

I'M SORRY. THE ROWLETT HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION HAS BEEN A PART OF THE PROGRAM FOR A FEW YEARS, AND THERE'S RIGHT NOW $3.2 MILLION OF LOANS OUTSTANDING.

TEN DIFFERENT LOANS FOR ROWLETT RESIDENTS. AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS NOT DEBT OF THE CITY OR DEBT THAT THE HFC IS ISSUING, BUT IT IS PART OF TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS.

ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. MR.. COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? AND JUST TO CONFIRM, YOU SAID WE HAD 3.2 MILLION OUTSTANDING RIGHT NOW.

IS THAT THE VOLUME CAP THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE OR IS OUR VOLUME CAP HIGHER THAN THAT TODAY? SO THE VOLUME CAP THAT IS BEING REQUESTED BY THE HFC IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HCA IS $4 MILLION.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS TO THE EXTENT TD, HCA DOES NOT USE THAT CAP WITHIN A YEAR, IT'LL GET RECIRCULATED IN THE PROGRAM AND BE ABLE TO USE IT ACROSS THE STATE.

AND THEN IT'LL COME UP AGAIN NEXT YEAR TO RENEW WITHIN THE PROGRAM AND NOW UNDERSTOOD OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE ANOTHER ALLOCATION FOR THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND AT A HIGH LEVEL. COULD YOU JUST TALK ABOUT HOW TDA USES THOSE FUNDS OR THEIR SPECIFIC HOME HOMEBUYER CRITERIA THAT ARE CONSIDERED, OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? IF YOU KNOW IT'S A COMBINATION OF FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS AS WELL AS VETERANS? I BELIEVE THEY HAVE. INCOME THRESHOLD BANDS BASED ON INCOME VERSUS AREA MEDIAN INCOME. BUT I'D NEED TO CONFIRM THAT.

THAT'S OKAY. SO, I MEAN, THESE ARE NOT LOANS THAT ARE JUST AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

IT'S YES, YOU HAVE TO MEET SPECIFIC CRITERIA.

YES. SO THAT'S IN LINE WITH THE FCC'S MISSION OF SUPPORTING ATTAINABLE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE.

YES, SIR. PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MR. SHOOP IF YOU HIT YOUR PTS.

I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE ROWLETT HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION'S APPLICATION FOR RESERVATIONS WITH THE TEXAS BOND REVIEW FOR REVIEW BOARD FOR A CAP RESERVATION UP TO $4 MILLION.

I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. SHOOP, SECOND BY MR. BOWERS.

I SECOND. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? LET'S CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE.

AND THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. COON. APPRECIATE THAT. WE'LL MOVE ON NOW TO OUR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION ITEMS. ITEM SEVEN A CONSIDER ACTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND RATIFYING AN EMERGENCY CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT WITH CIRCLE H CONTRACTORS,

[7A. Consider action to adopt a resolution approving and ratifying an emergency construction agreement with Circle H Contractors, LP, for the Liberty Grove Sewer Line Replacement (Emergency Purchase), in the amount not to exceed $4,402,544.80; authorizing the Mayor to execute the agreement for said services; and providing an effective date]

LP FOR THE LIBERTY GROVE SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT.

EMERGENCY PURCHASE IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $4,402,544.80.

AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT FOR SAID SERVICES AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. PRESENTING THIS ITEM IS CHRISTINA TURNER.

NOWHERE.

THANK YOU, HONORABLE MAYOR. AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE, WE DID HAVE A 24 INCH GRAVITY SEWER MAIN THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1998 THAT HAD A BREAK THAT OCCURRED IN JUNE, ON JUNE 4TH OF 2025.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A TOTAL OF SIX BREAKS FROM WEST OF CHESTER TO PRINCETON ROAD, ALONG WITH SEVERE UNDERMINING OF THE WESTBOUND LANES ON LIBERTY GROVE DUE TO THESE BREAKS.

WE DO HAVE AN EMERGENCY CONTRACT WITH CIRCLE H CONTRACTORS TO REPAIR THE LINE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE CONSIDERING RIGHT NOW. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE PROJECT MAP,

[00:25:08]

WE HAVE SIX ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ONGOING. THE SURVEY ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

THEY ARE WORKING ON INSTALLATION OF THE SEWER LINE RIGHT NOW BETWEEN ACTIVITIES TWO, THREE, FOUR AND FIVE AND SIX. WE'RE EXPECTING THIS PROJECT TO BE DONE BY THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER.

SO THIS ITEM WILL RATIFY THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH CIRCLE H CONTRACTORS AND AN AMOUNT OF $4,402,544.80.

AND WE DO HAVE OTHER EMERGENCY CONTRACTS THAT HAVE BEEN INITIATED TO COVER ANCILLARY SCOPE.

AND WITH THAT, I'M PLEASED TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU FOR THE BRIEF PRESENTATION.

COULD YOU TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT THOSE ANCILLARY SERVICES MIGHT LOOK LIKE THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE CIRCLE H CONTRACT? ABSOLUTELY. WE HAVE ONE CONTRACTOR CALLED BARCO THAT IS OUT ON SITE.

THEY ARE PUTTING IN OUR BYPASS AND MAINTAINING OUR BYPASS.

WE ARE ESTIMATING THAT COST TO BE APPROXIMATELY $137,320 BEFORE THE END OF THE CONTRACT PERIOD.

ACE PIPE CLEANING IS DOING TELEVISING THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE LINE THROUGH THE RIVERBANK OR RIVERBED TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE THERE.

AND THIS CONDITION OF THAT LINE AND THAT CONTRACT IS APPROXIMATELY 9850.

AND THEN WE DID HAVE TO RENT NUMEROUS PIECES OF EQUIPMENT.

AND SO WE HAD ABOUT 2 OR 3 EQUIPMENT RENTALS THAT ARE TOTALING JUST OVER $18,500.

THOSE ARE THE EXPECTED CHARGES AT THIS POINT.

THANK YOU. HAVE WE DETERMINED HOW WE'RE GOING TO RECONSTRUCT THE ROADWAY FOR ANY PART THAT HAS TO BE DEMOLISHED? YES. THE CONTRACTOR WILL HAVE HIS CONCRETE CREWS FOLLOWING RIGHT BEHIND HIM AS HE AFTER HE REPAIRS AND INSTALLS THE LINE, THEY WILL COME RIGHT THROUGH WITH THE CONCRETE CREWS RIGHT AFTERWARDS TO PATCH THAT AND REPAIR IT.

THANK YOU, MR. SHOOP. YES. THANK YOU. AND OBVIOUSLY, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THESE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT EMERGENCY REPAIRS.

HOWEVER, ON FRIDAY I BELIEVE LAST FRIDAY, THEY WERE GOING TO CLOSE EVERYTHING OVERNIGHT.

AND I'M NOT BEARING A LINE. I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THEY WERE DOING THAT GOT CANCELED? I'M JUST CURIOUS. WHAT WAS. WAS THAT A SCHEDULING PROBLEM OR WHAT WAS THE WHAT WAS THE HOLDUP ON THAT? AND WHEN WILL THAT BE DONE? YES, THERE WAS A SCHEDULING ISSUE.

WE HAD A CONFLICT BETWEEN CIRCLE H AND BARCO WHO'S INSTALLING THE BYPASS.

SO BARCO DID WAS. EXCUSE ME. BARCO WAS NOT ABLE TO INSTALL THAT FRIDAY NIGHT.

THAT IS THE CLOSURE THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING THIS THURSDAY, BEGINNING AT 7 P.M.

TO FRIDAY, 7 A.M. WILL BE BARCO BACK OUT TO INSTALL THE REST OF THE BYPASS FOR THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE PIPE.

AND THEN I KNOW THE CONDITION OF THE STREET, PARTICULARLY THE WESTERN PORTION.

THAT'S THAT'S ASPHALT HAS AT LEAST ONE SINKHOLE IN IT, AND WE'VE CONSIDERED THAT THERE MIGHT BE OTHER, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS SPOTS IN THERE AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, NOT NECESSARILY SPECIFICALLY UNDER THIS CONTRACT, BUT AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, THAT SECTION OF ROAD IS BASICALLY GOING TO ALL BE REMOVED AND REPAIRED AND EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE RE SECURED.

CORRECT. THEY WILL BE REMOVING AND REPAIRING AREAS WHERE THEY PUT THE PIPE IN.

AND ADDITIONALLY, WHEREVER WE FIND SINKHOLES.

YES, WE WILL BE REMOVING AND REPAIRING AND PUTTING SUBBASE BACK INTO THE ROADWAY.

PERFECT. THANK YOU. COUNSEL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR THIS ITEM.

WE MOTION BY MR. REEVES. THANK YOU. MAYOR. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION.

EXCUSE ME? ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND RATIFYING AN EMERGENCY CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT WITH CIRCLE H CONTRACTORS, L.P. FOR THE LIBERTY GROVE SEWER LINE. REPLACEMENT.

EMERGENCY PURCHASE IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $4,402,544.80.

AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT FOR SAID SERVICES AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. REEVES, A SECOND BY MRS. BOWERS, AND ANY DISCUSSION. ALL RIGHT, LET'S CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE.

AND THAT ITEM ALSO CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. EXCELLENT.

[7B. Consider action to approve a parameter ordinance authorizing the issuance of General Obligation Bonds, Certificates of Obligation, Tax Notes, and Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds with the final terms to be approved by the City's pricing officers on any date until expiration of the delegated authority.]

WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM SEVEN. BE CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE A PARAMETER ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, CERTIFICATE OF CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, TAX NOTES, AND WATER AND SEWER REVENUE BONDS, WITH THE FINAL TERMS TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY'S PRICING OFFICERS ON ANY DATE UNTIL EXPIRATION OF THE DELEGATED AUTHORITY.

MAKING THAT PRESENTATION AGAIN, IT'S MR. KUHN.

ALL RIGHT. SO PARAMETER ORDINANCES. SO BACK IN MAY STAFF PRESENTED BEFORE COUNCIL A NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.

THIS WAS THE FIRST STEP IN MOVING FORWARD WITH THE DEBT SALE FOR THIS YEAR.

WE SUBSEQUENTLY PUBLISHED NEWSPAPER NOTICES AND HAD CALLS WITH RATING AGENCIES AND HAD OUR RATINGS CONFIRMED.

[00:30:06]

DOUBLE AA PLUS AA TWO FROM MOODY'S FOR OUR GENERAL OBLIGATION CREDIT AND AA MINUS THREE FOR OUR WATER SEWER CREDIT.

THIS STEP IS TO APPROVE OR RECEIVE COUNCIL'S APPROVAL TO ALLOW PRICING OFFICERS OF THE CITY TO PRICE AND SELL THE DEBT TO BE DONE AT A LATER DATE. AND EACH SERIES OF OUR TYPE OF DEBT HAS A DIFFERENT EXPIRATION OF THAT AUTHORITY.

JUST GETTING TO TALK ABOUT THAT DEBT. SO THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEBT.

STAFF IS BRINGING BEFORE YOU FOR APPROVAL. THE FIRST IS A SERIES OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, SO UP TO $48 MILLION. THIS IS FOR THE 2023 AND 2024 BOND ELECTION PROJECTS.

INCLUDES PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY, ANIMAL SHELTER, GRIFFITH PARK, VARIOUS STREET PROJECTS, PARKS, PROJECTS AND FIRE STATION IMPROVEMENTS AND STREET LIGHTING.

THE SECOND TRANCHE OF DEBT IS CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.

THIS IS UP TO $10.1 MILLION. AS REFERENCED EARLIER, THIS REQUIRED A NOTICE OF INTENT, WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER ON MAY 23RD AND MAY 30TH. AND THESE ARE FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS, DOWNTOWN INFRASTRUCTURE, THE ROWLETT COMMUNITY CENTER AND OTHER PARKS PROJECTS, AS WELL AS FIRE EQUIPMENT. THE THIRD TRANCHE OF DEBT IS TAX NOTES FOR VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT, AND IT'S FOR $3.1 MILLION. AND THEN LASTLY HAVE WATER SEWER BONDS UP TO 14.9 MILLION FOR WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS.

SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS FOR A PARAMETER SALE, WHEREBY COUNCIL DESIGNATES PRICING OFFICERS AT THE CITY WHO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GO OUT AND PRICE THE DEBT, ASSUMING IT MEETS CERTAIN PARAMETERS.

SO THE PARAMETERS ARE LISTED HERE ON THE SLIDE FOR ALL FOUR TRANCHES OF DEBT AT CANNOT HAVE A MAXIMUM TRUE INTEREST COST OF OVER 5.5% CANNOT EXCEED THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS OUTLINED THAT I DISCUSSED ON EACH SLIDE.

IT SETS A FINAL MATURITY DATE. THIS IS 30 YEARS FOR THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, 20 YEARS FOR THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION AND WATER AND SEWER BONDS, AND SEVEN YEARS FOR THE TAX NOTES. AND THEN IT ALSO LISTS THE EXPIRATION OF AUTHORITY, WHICH IS A YEAR FOR THE TAX NOTES, GEO BONDS AND WATER SEWER BONDS AND ABOUT 90 DAYS FOR THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.

SO IF IF COUNCIL APPROVES THIS ITEM, WE LOOK TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PRICING IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

WE'D, WE'D PUT OUT A NOTICE OF SALE ON THE, ON OF THE STREET AND WORK WITH UNDERWRITING FIRMS TO PRICE THE BONDS AND WORK TO HAVE DELIVERY OF THE FUNDS BEFORE THE END OF FISCAL YEAR. AS A NOTE THIS ITEM MUST BE APPROVED.

EACH TRANCHE OF BONDS INDIVIDUALLY. SO THERE'S FOUR DIFFERENT MOTIONS THAT WOULD BE PASSED.

DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YES, SIR. COUNCIL.

ANY QUESTIONS? FRIENDS. I THINK THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS WHEN WE'VE ISSUED OR DONE THIS PERIMETER ORDINANCE IN THE PAST, WE'VE SOMETIMES ENDED UP WITH SOME PRETTY COMPETITIVE BOND RATES BECAUSE OF TIMING AND DIFFERENT MARKET FACTORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

YOU SHOWED 5.5% AS A RATE AS A RATE CAP FOR EACH TRANCHE.

COULD YOU CONFIDENTLY SAY OR EVEN REMOTELY CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT WE'D BE SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF THAT? AND IF SO, APPROXIMATELY WHERE IF YOU WERE TO GUESS.

SO THAT IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MARKETS ARE VOLATILE.

WE ARE ESTIMATING. THIS WAS ATTACHED IN THE PACKET AS AN EXHIBIT.

WE HAVE PRELIMINARY NUMBER RUNS FOR EACH ISSUANCE.

AND SO IT'LL DEPEND ON THE TENOR OF EACH SERIES.

HOWEVER, AS AN EXAMPLE, THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, WHICH GO OUT TO 30 YEARS, WOULD BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE FORM OF DEBT GIVEN THE TENOR.

SO THIS IS A NUMBER AS OF ABOUT A WEEK AGO, WITH SOME CUSHION BAKED IN, HAD A TRUE INTEREST COST OF 4.75%, APPROXIMATELY. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY SET THE APPROVAL.

SURE. RIGHT. AT THAT LEVEL BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO MOVE MINUTE TO MINUTE.

ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT COUNSEL ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. AS MR. KOON MENTIONED THIS DOES REQUIRE FOUR SEPARATE MOTIONS FOR APPROVAL WITHIN EACH TRANCHE OF THE BONDS.

SO I WILL CONSIDER A MOTION ON EACH IN ORDER THAT YOU HAVE THEM IN FRONT OF YOU.

SO I HAVE A MOTION FROM MR. SHOOP. I MOVE TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF CITY OF ROWLETT, TEXAS GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND SERIES 2025, AND APPROVING ALL OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO.

I HAVE A MOTION FROM MR. SHOOP, A SECOND BY MR. REEVES. ANY DISCUSSION? THAT IS A MOTION TO APPROVE.

TO BE CLEAR, NO DISCUSSION. LET'S CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE.

[00:35:06]

ALL RIGHT. THAT MOTION CARRIES. THAT WAS THE MOTION FOR THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS.

AND WITH THAT, DO I HEAR ANOTHER MOTION? ONE SECOND WHILE WE RESET.

WE DON'T HAVE THIS ONE SET UP FOR FOUR VOTES.

OKAY. WE WILL DO THE NEXT ONE BY HAND, AND I WILL PUT US INTO DISCUSSION MODE.

SO AS SOON AS YOU PUSH YOUR BUTTON, YOU WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SPEAK.

ALL RIGHT. YEP. GO AHEAD. I MOVE TO APPROVE AND PUSH YOUR BUTTON ONE MORE TIME. I MOVE TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF CITY OF ROWLETT, TEXAS.

COMBINATION TAX AND LIMITED SURPLUS REVENUE. CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.

SERIES 2025 B AND APPROVING ALL OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? YEAH.

JUST PUSH BTS AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK A SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. SHOUP. SECOND BY MR. GIBBS. ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? YEAH. LET ME MAKE A FEW COMMENTS, IF I MAY, MAYOR.

SO I RECALL WHEN WE WHEN WE VOTED TO PUBLICIZE THE ISSUANCE OF THIS BOND, I ASKED THE QUESTION, WOULD IT COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL AGAIN AND WAS WAS ASSURED THAT IT WOULD.

AND AT THAT TIME, I SAID I REALLY WASN'T SURE, BECAUSE I'M REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THE OVERALL CONCEPT OF CHAOS.

AND I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU TONIGHT, IT'S IT'S A KIND OF A GAME TIME DECISION FOR ME.

I DON'T FUNDAMENTALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ISSUANCE OF COS.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY I DID THAT IN THE AFFIRMATIVE OF THE CEO WE DID FOR THE SAPPHIRE BAY A WHILE BACK THAT WAS NEEDED.

THAT WAS CONSIDERED AN EMERGENCY. I'M REALLY NOT TOO OPPOSED TO FUNDING CEOS AS, AS A MATTER OF OUR NEW DEBT MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE. I GUESS I GUESS MY CONCERN IS HERE.

I DON'T WANT US TO SEE US JUST GET ON A ROUTINE OF DOING CEOS AFTER CEOS, AFTER CEOS, BECAUSE I'M REAL CONCERNED ABOUT AMASSING AMOUNT OF DEBT FOR OUR CITY, WHICH GOES ON THE SHOULDERS OF OUR CITIZENS.

AND WE GET INTO A SITUATION KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW WITH WITH LIBERTY GROVE, WHERE WE HAVE A TRUE EMERGENCY AND WE'VE REACHED A CEILING ON OUR DEBT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I JUST HAVE THAT CONCERN. I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT THAT THAT I, I'M I'M STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE THE OVERALL CONCEPT AND IDEA OF ISSUING TO MANY CEOS.

SO I WILL SUPPORT THAT FOR THE REASONS THAT THAT THIS IS FOR TO SUPPORT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO BE CAREFUL GOING FORWARD.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO A HAND VOTE FOR THIS ONE. SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL RIGHT. AND THAT APPEARS TO CARRY UNANIMOUSLY ANY OPPOSED.

ALL RIGHT. SO THAT CARRIES BY A VOTE OF 7 TO 0.

WITH THAT WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE THIRD MOTION. AND AGAIN, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT MOTION, JUST PUSH AND START SPEAKING. I MOVE TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF CITY OF ROWLETT, TEXAS TAX NOTES SERIES 2025 AND APPROVING ALL OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO.

HAVE A MOTION BY MR. REEVES. DO I HAVE A SECOND I SECOND MOTION BY MR. REEVES TO APPROVE A SECOND BY MR. BRITTON. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. AGAIN. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? BY A SHOW OF HANDS, PLEASE.

AND THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY AS WELL. ANY OPPOSED? VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. I WILL ENTERTAIN THE FOURTH MOTION ON THIS ITEM.

I MOVE TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF CITY OF ROWLETT, TEXAS WATERWORKS AND SEWER SYSTEM REVENUE BONDS IN ONE OR MORE SERIES AND APPROVING ALL OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO. I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. BOWERS. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY MR. BOWERS, SECONDED BY MR. REEVES. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. AGAIN? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AND THAT APPEARS TO CARRY UNANIMOUSLY.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. GREAT. ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE PASSED BY A VOTE OF 7 TO 0.

ALL FOUR MOTIONS ON ITEM SEVEN. BE ALL RIGHT.

THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT ONE. RIGHT, MR. KUHN? GOOD. THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN.

[7C. Consider action to adopt a resolution approving the issuance of a Letter of Approval, requested by First Rescue, LLC and required by Section 773.0573 of the Texas Health and Safety Code in conjunction with First Rescue’s application with the Texas Department of State Health Services to provide non-911, inter-facility transport ambulance services within the City of Rowlett; and authorizing the City Manager to execute said Letter of Approval.]

C, CONSIDER ACTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ISSUANCE OF A LETTER OF APPROVAL REQUESTED BY FIRST RESCUE, LLC AND REQUIRED BY SECTION 773.0573 OF THE TEXAS HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH FIRST RESCUE'S APPLICATION WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES TO PROVIDE NON 911 INTER FACILITY TRANSPORT AND AMBULANCE SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAID LETTER OF APPROVAL.

[00:40:04]

CHIEF GAUTHIER, THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU. THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS A REQUEST FROM FIRST RESCUE, LLC, SEEKING APPROVAL LETTER FROM THE CITY AS PART OF THEIR APPLICATION PROCESS WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES.

THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON TYPE OF REQUEST, AND IT'S ACTUALLY REQUIRED AS PART OF CHAPTER 773 OF THE TEXAS HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE.

REALLY, THE INTENT OF THE CODE IS TO ENSURE THAT WHEN THEY LICENSE A PROVIDER IN AN AREA, IT DOESN'T HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE EXISTING PROVIDERS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE. IT ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REMEDY A PROVIDER SHORTAGE IN THE AREA, AND THAT IT REALLY WON'T CREATE AN OVERSUPPLY OF PROVIDERS IN THE AREA.

BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM FIRST RESCUE LLC, THEY INTEND TO OPERATE A NON-EMERGENCY INTER FACILITY TRANSFER SERVICE WITHIN THE ROWLETT AND ROCKWALL AREAS. THIS IS TYPICALLY DONE BY THESE PROVIDERS CONTRACTING WITH HOSPITALS, NURSING FACILITIES AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES TO PROVIDE TRANSFER SERVICES NOT ONLY IN BETWEEN THE FACILITIES, BUT TO APPOINTMENTS AND OTHER SUCH THINGS.

GIVEN THE VOLUME OF CALLS OR REQUESTS FOR SERVICES IN THIS PARTICULAR MARKET.

FIRE RESCUE OR FIRE RESCUE? I'M SO USED TO SAYING THAT FIRST RESCUE REALLY WOULD BE SUPPORTING THE EXISTING PROVIDERS IN THE AREA.

AND SO AND KIND OF SERVING TO FILL A GAP AS PART OF THIS REQUEST.

FIRST, RESCUE IS ALWAYS ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENT TO RUN EMERGENCY 911 SERVICES IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT.

AND SO THEREFORE, WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY ADVERSE IMPACT TO THE 911 SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM.

SO THE ACTION ITEM THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU SHOULD YOU CHOOSE WOULD BE TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A LETTER OF APPROVAL TO FOR FIRST RESCUE AS PART OF THEIR PROVIDER APPROVAL LICENSING PROCESS.

AND SO THAT ENDS MY PRESENTATION. BUT I DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES OF FIRST RESCUE HERE, AND WE'LL TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THEY ALSO HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION, IF YOU'RE SO INCLINED.

COUNCIL. ANY ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CHIEF? YES.

GO AHEAD. JUST PUSH. YES. MY QUESTION IS THIS IS JUST A FORMALITY FOR THE STATE.

IS THAT CORRECT? IT IS. SO IT'S A PART OF THE APPROVAL PROCESS AND IT'S REQUIRED IN THE CODE, BUT IT IS MOSTLY A FORMALITY. I DO KNOW THAT THEY'VE HAD AN INSPECTION DONE.

IF I'M CORRECT. YES. JUST YESTERDAY. AND SO THEY'VE KIND OF TENTATIVELY BEEN APPROVED.

SO THIS PROCESS IS MORE OR LESS A FORMALITY SAYING WE AUTHORIZE THAT.

SO IF WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE NEEDING AMBULANCES, DO WE CALL GARLAND OR WE CALL THEM? YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR MUTUAL AID. MUTUAL AID. YES. SO THIS DOESN'T AFFECT OUR MUTUAL AID CONTRACT.

WE STILL WOULD. OUR AGREEMENTS. THOSE WOULD STILL BE IN PLACE WITH THE CITIES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE THEM IN.

SO THANK YOU. YEP. CHIEF, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS SIMILAR TO THIS? I MEAN, I KNOW CARE FLIGHT IS ONE THAT'S KIND OF A REGION WIDE RESPONDER, BUT THEY ALSO DO EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO.

AND SO I THINK A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH WHERE THEY'RE BASING THEIR OPERATION.

SO FOR THIS AND I WOULD TELL YOU THEY'RE BASED OUT OF ROCKWALL.

CORRECT. CORRECT. YEAH. AND SO I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS SPECIFIC TO THIS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN IN THE CODE.

SO. AND SO MAYBE YOU'LL COVER THIS DURING YOUR PRESENTATION.

I REMEMBER SEEING THE THE REQUESTS FROM YOU ALL FOR THE LETTER, WHICH I APPRECIATE.

I KNOW YOU ARE AT THAT POINT ALREADY HAD A LETTER FROM ROCKWALL.

AND SO WHAT OTHER CITIES DO YOU HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM? AND WHAT'S YOUR INTENDED TRANSPORT PATH WITH THIS PROGRAM? YEAH. SO JUST THESE TWO WE RECEIVED A LETTER OF APPROVAL FROM ROCKWALL A LITTLE WHILE AGO.

WE ACTUALLY COME FROM THE NINE ON ONE SIDE IN ROCKWALL COUNTY WITH ROCKWALL COUNTY EMS. WE SHOOK HANDS WITH THOSE, OUR PREVIOUS EMPLOYERS AND STARTED OUR OWN LITTLE BUSINESS VENTURE.

AND WE STAYED IN THE COMMUNITY WE'VE BEEN IN FOR QUITE SOME TIME SINCE ABOUT 2010.

AND WE JUST INTEND TO SERVE THIS LITTLE SUBURBAN AREA.

OUR CONSERVATIVE ROLLOUT WILL CONSIST OF ESSENTIALLY ONE TRUCK WITH MY BUSINESS PARTNER, SETH AND I.

BY THE WAY, RUSS WARREN OWNER, OPERATOR, AND MY BUSINESS PARTNER.

SO IT'LL JUST BE THE TWO OF US ON A TRUCK. RUNNING ESSENTIALLY TRANSPORTS IN THE CITY OF ROCKWALL AND THE CITY OF ROWLETT.

SERVING THOSE TWO MAJOR FACILITIES THERE FOR ROCKWALL AND BAYLOR, LAKE POINT, RESPECTIVELY.

SO THE ONLY TWO CITY APPROVALS THAT WE NEED AT THIS TIME ARE ROCKWALL AND YOUR CITY.

[00:45:02]

SO THAT'S IT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT? IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION. THAT'D BE GREAT. SURE. REALLY JUST HAVE TWO SLIDES AGAIN AS A FORMALITY AND JUST TO SHOW OFF OUR VERY NICE LOOKING AMBULANCES THAT WE JUST GOT WRAPPED. ANY CHANCE YOU GET TO DO THAT? RIGHT? YEAH, RIGHT. A LITTLE BIT OF FREE PUBLICITY.

AND JUST TO FILL IN THE GAPS. SO THE IDEA IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE ANY OF THESE CITY LETTER APPROVALS SHOW UP ON YOUR DOCKET VERY OFTEN IS BECAUSE THIS IS KIND OF ACTUALLY A NEW ADDITION. THE LICENSING PROCESS HAS ALWAYS EXISTED FOR EMS OPERATIONS, BOTH MUNICIPAL BASED AS WELL AS PRIVATE EMS SERVICES.

THERE IS THE AFOREMENTIONED GLORIOUS AMBULANCE WE'VE JUST HAD WRAPPED.

WHAT YOU CAN'T TELL ON THAT PHOTO IS THAT'S A LITTLE EXTRA METALLIC WRAP.

THAT'S GOLD. VERY NICELY DONE THERE, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.

SO ANYWAYS, THE IDEA IS THAT THE NEW ADDITION WAS BECAUSE OUR INDUSTRY IS NO STRANGER TO SPURIOUS ACTORS AND INDIVIDUALS OF ILL REPUTE, SO TO SPEAK. WITHIN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, THEY'VE ACTUALLY BEEN AN UP RISING OF SOME OF THOSE AFOREMENTIONED TYPE BUSINESSES THAT OPERATED IN, ACTUALLY THE HOUSTON GALVESTON AREA.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT AREA WAS ATTRACTIVE TO THOSE TYPE OF ORGANIZATIONS, BUT THEY POPPED UP AND WERE COMMITTING QUITE A BIT OF MEDICARE FRAUD.

SO THE STATE ISSUED A BRIEF MORATORIUM ON ISSUING LICENSES TO NEW EMS PROVIDERS AND JUST NO APPLICATIONS TO COME INTO THE STATE TO BE APPROVED ONCE THEY REINSTATED. REINSTATED THAT APPLICATION PROCESS.

AFTER A SHORT REVISION OF THE PROCESS AND SOME NEW ADDITIONS TO REALLY MITIGATE THAT NEW PROBLEM.

THEY ADDED THIS CITY A LETTER OF APPROVAL AS PART OF THAT NEW REVISED PROCESS.

AND REALLY, IT'S JUST TO SAY YOU CAN'T THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED EMS ORGANIZATION JUST GO OPERATE WHEREVER YOU WANT TO WITH IMPUNITY.

YOU HAVE TO FIRST MAKE CONTACT WITH THE CITIES IN WHICH YOU INTEND TO OPERATE.

GAIN THEIR APPROVAL IF THEY SHOULD SO CHOOSE, GIVE A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO YOUR ORGANIZATION.

THIS IS WHAT WE INTEND TO DO, AND WE INTEND TO DO IT WITHIN YOUR GREAT CITY.

DO YOU SEE THAT AS A PROBLEM? AND THERE ARE SOME AREAS, AS AFOREMENTIONED, HOUSTON, GALVESTON AREA THAT ARE VERY, VERY SATURATED. I'M STEVE'S AMBULANCE SERVICE.

I'M KIND OF JOKING, BUT THAT PROBABLY IS AN AMBULANCE SERVICE THAT'S POPPED UP.

I THINK THERE WAS ONE CALLED HARRY'S OR SOMETHING, SOME GUY'S NAME, AMBULANCE SERVICE.

THAT WAS THE RUBRIC, AND THEY JUST POP UP ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEY'D BE RUNNING CALLS THAT THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY RUN, CHARGING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID FOR IT. SO ANYWAYS, I HAVE TO SAY WE INTEND TO DO NO SUCH THING. WE WERE GOING THROUGH THIS NEWLY REVISED PROCESS.

WE JUST HAD OUR STATE THE FINAL SITE INSPECTION AFTER LOTS OF OTHER INSPECTIONS YESTERDAY PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.

AND THEN THIS IS JUST THE LAST LITTLE BIT TO CHERRY ON THE TOP THERE.

SO AS AFOREMENTIONED BY CHIEF, THESE ARE THE THREE POINTS THAT YOUR LETTER OF APPROVAL HAS TO ADDRESS.

JUST STATING THAT YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS DON'T VIEW THIS AS A THREAT, OUR NEWLY ESTABLISHED OPERATION, AND THAT IT WON'T IMPACT THE VERY ESSENTIAL MUNICIPAL BASE NUMBER ONE EMS SERVICE.

ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL QUESTIONS? OKAY. YOU'RE ON.

OKAY. SO BASICALLY, YOU WILL BE MOVING PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOME TO A TO A AN APPOINTMENT, OR WERE.

IS THAT KIND OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? ISH.

SO WHAT WE DO IS OFTEN NOT UNDERSTOOD BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

AND JUST THE EASY ROAD HERE, JUST THE 30,000FT.

IS THAT MUNICIPAL BASED 901 SERVICES HELP. I NEED ASSISTANCE.

I'VE FRACTURED MY LEG, OR I HAVE CHEST PAIN. 911 IS CALLED, AND THEN EMS SHOWS UP AND DOES THEIR VARIOUS MAGICAL THINGS.

THE OTHER DIVISION OF EMS SERVICES IS INTER FACILITY TRANSPORT.

SO IF YOU HAVE THAT AFOREMENTIONED CHEST PAIN SITUATION, YOU GO TO BAYLOR LAKE POINT, WHICH IS A CARDIAC CATH LAB FACILITY.

GENERALLY THEY CAN HANDLE THAT, BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING EXTRA, OH, THIS IS A VERY WEIRD ARTERY THAT WE NEED A SPECIALIST TO OPERATE ON.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO A HUB FACILITY BAYLOR, DALLAS, BAYLOR, HEART HOSPITAL, PLANO AND OTHER FACILITIES.

THEN YOU'RE TRANSFERRED TO WHAT WE CALL HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE.

AND SO THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE SPECIALIZE IN MOSTLY.

ACTUALLY, ARGUABLY WHAT WE DO MOSTLY IS A HOSPITAL DISCHARGES.

SO GENERALLY YOU HAVE A FEW, JUST LIKE WE DO IN ROCKWALL, A FEW, SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES, ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES, NURSING FACILITIES. OFTENTIMES THEY FALL OUT OF BED OR HAVE THEIR VARIOUS MEDICAL CONDITIONS OR TRAUMA AFFLICTIONS, AND THEY'LL BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL ONCE THEY ARE GIVEN THE BLESSING BY THE E.R.

STAFF. THERE THEY RUN THROUGH THEIR VARIOUS DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES.

THEY SAY, HEY, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. NO HEAD BLEED, NO ISSUES.

WE'RE GOING TO DISCHARGE YOU BACK TO THAT FACILITY. THEY CAN'T REALLY JUST TAKE A TAXI OR AN UBER, SO THEY NEED AMBULANCE TRANSPORT IN A COT WITH MAYBE EVEN SOME OXYGEN ON THE WAY.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE FILL IN THAT KIND OF GAP AFTER THE 911.

AND THEN THERE ARE SOME CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE PROBABLY THE THIRD MOST COMMON WHEREIN SOMEBODY'S CANCER PATIENT,

[00:50:07]

CHRONIC ILLNESS IS AT HOME AND THEY NEED AMBULANCE TRANSPORT TO A ONCOLOGY FACILITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND THEY CALL AGENCIES LIKE OURS. INSTEAD OF SATURATING 911 WITH THESE TYPE OF CALLS AND SAY, HEY, I NEED AMBULANCE TRANSPORT TO UT SOUTHWEST.

SO ALL SORTS OF STUFF LIKE THAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION.

YOU'RE QUITE WELCOME. THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION. I LIKE YOUR WRAP. LOOKS GREAT. EXCELLENT. FOR THOSE FROM THE PUBLIC NOT PRIVY TO THE PACKETS WE GET.

JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THIS IS AT NO COST TO THE CITY.

THIS IS BASICALLY JUST GIVING YOU AUTHORIZATION TO TRAVEL IN THE CITY.

DO WHAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED. BUT IT DOES NOT COST THE TAXPAYERS OF ANYTHING.

NOT A DIME UNLESS THEY NEED OUR SERVICES, IN WHICH CASE WE'LL BUILD THEIR INSURANCE AND THEY MAY PAY A LITTLE EXTRA, BUT THAT'S IT. FOR THE MOST PART, YOU WON'T BE RUNNING CODE THREE THROUGH THE CITY.

NO, THERE ARE SOME RELATIVELY RARE CIRCUMSTANCES WHEREIN AGAIN, YOU HAVE SOME THING GO WRONG, YOU SHOW UP OR YOU'RE TRANSPORTED BY ANY ONE OF THE LOCAL GARLAND ROWLETT ROCKWALL FACILITIES AND THEY SAY, OH GOSH, THIS IS A SURPRISE. YOU HAVE A HEAD BLEED.

WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE THIS AND WE ACTUALLY NEED YOU EMERGENCY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO RELATIVELY RARE, BUT NOT VERY OFTEN THAT YOUR VEHICLES ALSO HAVE OPTICAL ON THEM.

NO. OKAY. JUST MAKING SURE WE DO THE OLD FASHIONED WAY.

OKAY. YEAH. I NOW I HAVE JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION AND I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS.

I MEAN, BUT JUST JUST INFORMATIONAL HERE. ONE OF THE THREE BULLET POINTS HERE.

REMEDY. REMEDY. REMEDYING A PROVIDER SHORTAGE.

WHAT IS OUR WHAT IS OUR PROVIDER? INVENTORY WITHIN ROULETTE LOOK LIKE, OR ARE WE WAY LOWER, OR ARE WE KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE? WHAT? JUST INFORMATIONAL KIND OF.

WHERE ARE WE? IT'S ACTUALLY A RELATIVELY DIFFICULT QUESTION TO ANSWER BECAUSE YOU BOTH HAVE QUITE A FEW OPTIONS AND NOT A WHOLE LOT.

ONE OF THE THINGS WITH AGENCIES LIKE OURS A LARGER FACILITY OR AGENCIES RATHER LIKE AMR OR THE AFOREMENTIONED CARE FLIGHT, BY THE WAY, MY WIFE IS A FLIGHT NURSE WITH CARE FLIGHT. SO WAY TO GO THERE.

SO THE IDEA IS THERE ARE SOME BIG, LARGER COMPETITORS, BUT GENERALLY THEY HUB OUT OF THE METROPLEX AND THEY FOCUS THEIR EFFORTS ON THAT DFW METROPLEX, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF BUSINESS TO BE HAD. BIG FACILITIES BAYLOR, DALLAS, TX, SOUTHWEST, PARKLAND AND SO FORTH. AND THEY DON'T FIND THEMSELVES ROUTINELY COMING OUT THIS WAY.

THERE ARE A FEW OTHER CITY AMBULANCE ACADIAN.

AKKADIAN. A FEW OTHERS. AND SO THE IDEA IS THERE ARE SOME IN THE AREA.

GENERALLY THEY FOCUS ON THE DFW METROPLEX PROPER.

GIVEN OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THIS COMMUNITY, WE DECIDED TO ESTABLISH OUR ORGANIZATION OUT HERE, WHICH KIND OF GIVES US A BIT OF A MARKET INSULATION.

WE PUT OURSELVES OUT HERE. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BE TOO BIG FROM THE START. ONCE WE EXPAND, WE'LL GO OUT THAT WAY AND FIGHT WITH THE BIG FISH. BUT CURRENTLY WE'LL BE OUT HERE.

SO LONG STORY SHORT GIVEN OUR PROXIMITY THESE TO THESE TWO REGIONAL FACILITIES, ALTHOUGH THERE'S SOME OTHERS, OFTENTIMES THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT DELAY TO BRING THOSE OTHER ENTITIES OUT HERE, WHEREAS WE WOULD PROVIDE HOPEFULLY QUICK AND ROUTINE SERVICE TO THESE REGIONAL FACILITIES QUICKER THAN OTHERS WOULD PROVIDE THEM. YEAH.

SO COUNCIL ON ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? VERY GOOD.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. CHIEF, JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.

IT'S IT'S IN THE PACKET IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.

I ASSUME THAT YOU'RE IN FAVOR OF THIS AGREEMENT.

I WOULD SUPPORT THIS. IT DOESN'T HAVE AN IMPACT TO OUR OPERATIONS, AND I THINK IT FILLS A GAP.

PERFECT. THANK YOU. THAT'S HELPFUL. ALL RIGHT, COUNSEL, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I SEE A MOTION BY MR. REEVES. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ISSUANCE OF A LETTER OF APPROVAL REQUESTED BY FIRST RESCUE, LLC AND REQUIRED BY SECTION 773.0573 OF THE TEXAS HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH FIRST RESCUE'S APPLICATION WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES TO PROVIDE NON 911 INTER FACILITY TRANSPORT AMBULANCE SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAID LETTER OF APPROVAL. I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. REEVES. HAVE A SECOND FROM MR. BRITTON. A SECOND. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH A SECOND ANY DISCUSSION.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE. AND THAT ITEM CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

GENERALLY DESCRIBED AS BEING LOT ONE BLOCK A OF BANYAN HEIGHTS IN THE CITY OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, AND BEING MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 5433 LAKEVIEW PARKWAY, MR. HALL. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. DEREK, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.

I'LL BE GIVING THE PRESENTATIONS THIS EVENING ON BEHALF OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE FIRST ITEM IS A REQUEST TO AMEND THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR INDUSTRIAL USES I TWO.

AND IT'S REFERENCING ORDINANCE 12 1686 B THIS IS A CASE THAT CAME TO US BY WAY OF A CITATION.

AND SO THE APPLICANT WAS ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS AN ISSUE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BY CODE.

THE REQUEST IS TO ALLOW FOR A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED 720 SQUARE FOOT VEHICLE REPAIR BAY WITH AN EXISTING AUTO BODY AND REPAIR SHOP.

AND ITS INTENT IS TO ENCROACH APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET INTO THE REAR BUILDING.

SETBACK. THE LOT IN QUESTION IS APPROXIMATELY 0.55 ACRES LOCATED SPECIFICALLY AT 50 5433 LAKEVIEW PARKWAY. THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION, AS DESCRIBED EARLIER, IS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH UNDERLINING ZONING FOR INDUSTRIAL USES.

THE DEVELOPMENT LOT IS AN IS AN EXISTING AUTO BODY AND REPAIR BUSINESS.

THAT BUSINESS IN AND OF ITSELF IS PERMITTED TO OPERATE.

THE AMENDMENT WILL APPLY SOLELY TO LOT ONE BLOCK A BY WAY OF SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION.

THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED A PERMIT APPLICATION FOR THE ATTACHED PATIO COVER.

IT WAS ALREADY CONSTRUCTED WITHOUT A PERMIT. THE APPLICATION WAS CANCELED ONCE STAFF FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS PERMITTED WITHOUT THE CORRECT PERMIT.

AND WE BEGAN TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE.

IN JANUARY 2025, A NEW APPLICATION FOR THE PATIO COVER WAS SUBMITTED.

THE PATIO COVER FAILED THE INSPECTION. STAFF DISCOVERED THAT IN ADDITION TO THE STRUCTURE THAT WAS PERMITTED WITHOUT A PERMIT, THAT THERE WAS A 724 720 SQUARE FOOT VEHICLE REPAIR BAY AT THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED, WOULD ALSO ALSO WITHOUT A PERMIT. SO IN FEBRUARY 2025, THERE WAS A PRE-APPLICATION MEETING THAT WAS HELD BY STAFF.

STAFF INFORMED THE APPLICANT THAT THE VEHICLE REPAIR BAY WAS ENCROACHING APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET INTO THE REQUIRED REAR BUILDING SETBACK.

THIS, OF COURSE, IS NOT PERMITTED. AND THEREFORE WE WENT THROUGH THE ACTIVITIES WITH THE APPLICANT TO BRING THEM INTO COMPLIANCE.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY AN EXISTING AUTO BODY AND REPAIR SHOP.

IT'S SURROUNDED BY A MIX OF COMMERCIAL AND HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONING AND LAND USES, AS IS INDICATED HERE IN THE ILLUSTRATION SPECIFIC TO THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATION.

THE DESIGNATION IS RETAIL COMMERCIAL OFFICE INTENDED FOR GOODS AND SERVICES ALONG A MAJOR ARTERIAL ROAD.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. AS DESCRIBED EARLIER.

AMENDED, AMENDED TO ALLOW FOR AN AUTO BODY AND REPAIR SHOP, AMONG OTHER USES.

ALLOWED WITHIN THE INDUSTRIAL USE. CLASSIFICATION AND REQUESTS.

PERTAINS ONLY TO THE REAR. SETBACK. ENCROACHMENT.

AGAIN, THE PRIMARY BUILDING IS PERMITTED BY RIGHT.

IT'S THE ADDITION OF THE 720 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING THAT'S TRYING TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE, SO THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE TO THE PROPERTY'S EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

THIS ILLUSTRATION SHOWS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN, WHICH INCLUDES THE CONDITIONS OF LOT.

ONE BLOCK A THE EXISTING PERMITTED BUILDING IS 1838FT² WITH THREE REPAIR BAYS

[01:00:02]

CONSISTING EXISTING WITHIN THE THE BUILDING ITSELF, THE NEW STRUCTURE, OR THE 720 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION HAS ONE REPAIR BAY.

THE REQUIRED PARKING IS 16 SPACES, SO BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THIS NEW 724 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION, THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR FOUR ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES WHICH WERE ADDED.

THERE ARE TWO EXISTING POINTS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS TO THE PROJECT SITE, AND THOSE ARE BOTH ARE ALONG LAKEVIEW.

AS IT RELATES TO LANDSCAPING, MINIMAL LANDSCAPING WAS REQUIRED SINCE THIS WAS AN EXISTING DEVELOPMENT.

HOWEVER, STAFF FELT THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS SOME LANDSCAPING AROUND THE 720 SQUARE FOOT STRUCTURE. SO THERE ARE SOME SOME PROPOSED SHRUBS THAT SURROUND THE BUILDING.

AND THEN THERE IS ALSO ONE TREE THAT WAS PLANTED AT THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE TO THE EXISTING BUILDING THAT IS ALONG LAKEVIEW PARKWAY. WAY AS IT RELATES TO THE PUBLIC NOTICE.

NOTICES WENT OUT ON JUNE 13TH. THERE WERE SEVEN NOTICES THAT WERE MAILED 200FT FROM THE PROPERTY, 30 MAILED WITHIN 500FT. AS OF TODAY, STAFF DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES IN OPPOSITION OR IN FAVOR, EITHER 200FT OR 500FT. AS A COURTESY NOTICE REQUIRES, ON JUNE 24TH, 2025, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CONVENED A MEETING AND UNANIMOUSLY, UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.

SO, AS A MATTER OF RECOMMENDATION, THE GOVERNING BODY MAY TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS PERTAINING TO THIS REQUEST APPROVE.

APPROVE WITH ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS OR DENY THE PROJECT.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION AND THE APPLICANT AND THE REPRESENTATIVES ARE HERE IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

ALSO, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE A PRESENTATION OR THEY'RE JUST AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.

NO PRESENTATION. NO PRESENTATION. OKAY. IS THIS THE APPLICANT? OKAY. DO YOU MIND COMING UP? I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU GUYS.

SORRY. IF YOU COULD START OFF BY JUST STATING YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE MAGIC.

I'M WITH ROCK DESIGN ENGINEERS. 650 EAST STRIP, SUNNYVALE, TEXAS.

I'M. WE'RE THE ENGINEERING FIRM THAT GOT HIRED BY THE CLIENT SINCE THEY FOUND OUT THAT THEY DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB IN COMMUNICATING WITH THE CITY AND GETTING PERMITS.

AND OUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT ONCE YOU GUYS, IF YOU APPROVE THAT THREE FOOT VARIANCE, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BRING IN ARCHITECTURAL, ELECTRICAL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS AND PRESENTED THE CITY A FULL SET OF PLANS TO BRING THAT BUILDING INTO CODE, ALONG WITH THE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS. OF COURSE, WE ACTUALLY ADDED A FIRE LANE.

WE JUST LIKE THE GENTLEMAN SAID, WE'VE ADDED LANDSCAPED.

WE'VE ACTUALLY MOVED THE DUMPSTER AND PUT IT IN AN ENCLOSURE.

SO WE'VE DONE A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS INTO THE INTO THE BUILDING TO MAKE SURE THE WHOLE PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE UP TO CODE AND UP TO GRADE.

DID YOU ENGINEER AND CONSTRUCT THE NEW BUILDING? NO, NO, THE BUILDING IS ALREADY THERE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT DID YOU ENGINEER AND CONSTRUCT IT WHEN IT WAS CONSTRUCTED? NO, NO, NO, BUT WE HAVE AN ARCHITECT, OUR TEAM. WE HAVE A TEAM IN OUR GROUP THAT WILL BE GOING IN THERE TO ASSIST THE BUILDING.

AND OF COURSE, IF IT NEEDS BRACING, IT NEEDS ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL WORK OR STRUCTURAL WORK OR ELECTRICAL.

THERE WILL BE NO MECHANICAL OR PLUMBING BUT THOSE THREE ITEMS, AND OF COURSE THEY CAN ASSIST THE FOUNDATION AND WHATEVER THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WILL BE ON THE SET OF PLANS. AND THAT'S ACTUALLY TYPICALLY SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.

CITY WILL REVIEW IT, AND ONCE THEY APPROVE IT, THEN THE CONTRACTOR WILL GO OUT THERE AND GET THAT DONE.

SO WHEN WAS WITH INSPECTIONS? WHEN WAS THAT BUILDING CONSTRUCTED? IT WAS BUILD. IT WAS CONSTRUCTED WITH SIX MONTHS.

MORE. DECEMBER. AND DID YOU ALL CONSTRUCT THAT YOURSELF OR WAS IT CONSTRUCTED BY.

I MEAN, IS IT A PREFAB METAL BUILDING OR DO YOU MIND COMING UP TO THE MIC IF YOU WOULD, AND ALSO STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE? MY NAME IS ABDULLAH SAFIR, AND I REPRESENT 5433 LAKEVIEW PARKWAY.

SO THAT BUILDING WAS PUT UP BY A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.

IT WAS ALREADY A PREEXISTING SHED. SO TO US WE WERE JUST EXPANDING IT.

I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE AS BIG OF A DEAL.

AND IT'S OUR FAULT. SHOULD HAVE CHECKED MORE, BUT NOW WE'RE GOT THIS GUY TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

THEY ACTUALLY POURED A NEW SLAB WITH BEAMS, AND THEY IT'S A PREFAB METAL BUILDING AND THEY DO HAVE STUDS AND EVERYTHING.

AND I'VE LOOKED AT IT. WE'VE HAD OUR ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEER LOOK AT IT.

[01:05:02]

IT'S A SOLID BUILDING. THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO COME WITH SOME ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO DO.

SURE. BUT BUT THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S PRETTY SOLID.

YOU CAN STAY AND THE GC THAT YOU ALL HIRED TO CONSTRUCT IT, THEY POURED THE SLAB, THEY PUT UP THE BUILDING, THEY DID ALL THE WORK. DID THAT GC NOT ADVISE YOU THAT YOU MIGHT NEED TO GET A PERMIT? THAT'S SHOCKING AND MAYBE NOT A VERY REPUTABLE GC.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, I DID LOOK ON THE MAP AND I WENT BACK.

I MEAN, THE OTHER STORAGE BUILDING THAT YOU GUYS HAD BACK THERE HAD BEEN THERE LIKE 20 YEARS AT LEAST.

I MEAN, IT'S BEEN THERE A REALLY, REALLY LONG TIME. SO I UNDERSTAND THE SENTIMENT BEHIND.

IT'S JUST WE'RE JUST SWITCHING OUT ONE BUILDING FOR ANOTHER, BUT IT DOESN'T QUITE WORK THAT WAY.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, COMING TO US, I REALIZE IT WAS MOTIVATED BY A CITATION.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S HOW SOME THINGS HAPPEN.

IS THIS THIS IS A CAR REPAIR BAY. DOES IT HAVE A PIT OR IS IT JUST GROUND LEVEL WITH, LIKE, A HOIST IN IT. GROUND LEVEL. SO NO WAY HAS PITS.

SO THIS ONE IS JUST GOING TO BE GROUND LEVEL, JUST A EXTRA BAY FOR US TO WORK IN.

JUST BECAUSE. SINCE WE'VE BEEN WORKING AND IMPROVING, WE'VE WE HAVE BEEN RANKED NUMBER ONE AUTO SHOP IN ROWLETT.

SO WE'VE BEEN GETTING MUCH MORE INFLUX OF CUSTOMERS.

SO IT JUST GIVES ME EXTRA SPACE TO WORK ON CARS MORE.

GOTCHA. WELL, CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT RECOGNITION.

THAT'S AWESOME. CAN YOU KIND OF EXPLAIN TO ME WHERE YOU ADDED THE FOUR ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES? BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO TELL FROM THE MAP HOW THOSE KIND OF WENT IN.

CAN WE PUT UP THE SITE PLAN AND WE CAN SHOW THE ADDITIONAL? ACTUALLY THERE IS A THERE WE WHAT? WE ADDED MORE CONCRETE.

WE ADDED FOUR FEET ACTUALLY TO THE ENTRANCE TO MAKE THE 24FT FAR LANE.

AND WE'RE GOING INTO THE BUILDING INTO THE LOT 70FT.

NOW THAT THAT FAR LANE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS NOT, DOES NOT EXIST.

AND THAT LITTLE CUTOUT ON THE LEFT, THAT'S ADDITIONAL CONCRETE THAT WILL BE ADDED ON THERE, I SEE. SO AND WE THE IN THE BACK BY THAT NEW BUILDING, THE DUMPSTER IS THERE.

WE MOVED THE DUMPSTER TO THE FRONT, ROTATED IT, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT IN THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE.

WE'VE ALSO TAKEN SOME OF THE CONCRETE THERE IN THE FRONT AND ADDED ONE MORE PARKING SPOT.

SO WE KIND OF WORKED WITH THE SITE AS IS AND MADE SOME ADDITIONAL CONCRETE AND IMPROVED IT TO WHERE WE COULD HAVE THE REQUIRED PARKING.

OKAY. PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COUNCIL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. YEAH I DO GO AHEAD. AND I, I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS, BUT I AM SOMEWHAT TROUBLED BY THIS.

IT'S IT'S EITHER SLOPPY WORK OR IT'S WILLFUL DECEPTION.

AND I'M GOING TO ASSUME IT'S SLOPPY WORK. SLOPPY WORKING.

HE LEARNED HIS LESSON WELL. I SENT HIM AN ARM AND A LEG, LET ME TELL YOU THAT. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I MEAN, BUT THE WRONG WAY. IT COMES BACK AND COMES BACK AND BITES YOU.

IF WE LOOK AT THE THING, I MEAN, THEY WERE OUT THERE LOOKING FOR AN UNPERMITTED, LOOKING AT AN UNPERMITTED PERMITTED PATIO AND FOUND THIS ANCILLARY TO THAT, IF I'M READING THIS CORRECTLY. IS THAT RIGHT? I THINK THEY SUBMITTED A PERMIT FOR THIS CANOPY.

YEAH, BUT I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S WHY THE INSPECTORS WERE OUT ABOUT IT.

IT WASN'T COMPLETED YET. I MEAN, IT'S STILL I UNDERSTAND.

I, I GUESS I GUESS I'M SOMEWHAT CHASTISING YOU, IF I MAY.

IF YOU BUILD MORE BUILDINGS, I WOULD ASK, MAYBE BE A LITTLE MORE A LITTLE MORE RESPONSIBLE IN EXACTLY HOW IT'S BEING DONE.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN, ALL RIGHT.

IT MAKES NO SENSE TO SPEND MONEY ON A BUILDING THAT YOU CAN'T ADD TO YOUR EQUITY IN YOUR IN YOUR DEVELOPMENT AND YOUR BUSINESS.

IT JUST MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. AND I THINK THEY GOT THE MESSAGE.

SO THAT'S A GREAT POINT. YOU DID APPLY FOR A PERMIT ON THE SHADE STRUCTURE THAT YOU BUILT BEHIND YOUR PRIMARY BUILDING, RIGHT? SO THE CANOPY WAS BUILT WAY BEFORE ALL THE CANOPIES.

BEEN THERE. YEAH. SO WE JUST WENT TO MAKE IT, I THINK THE WAY THEY PUT IT IN THE SITE IN LIKE THE PRESENTATION WASN'T BECAUSE THEY CAME DUE TO SOMEBODY SEEING THE BUILDING BEING I GOT IT.

WELL THAT SHED WAS NEVER THERE. SO THEY WERE DRIVING BY AND IT WAS I THINK IT WAS MISS LAKISHA TURNER.

SHE TURNED IT INSIDE AND SHE WAS LIKE, WE DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS BUILDING.

IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. SO NOW WE'RE GETTING CITATIONS.

AND THAT'S WHEN SHE LOOKED OVER TO THE CANOPY.

SHE WAS LIKE, I DON'T THINK THERE'S A PERMIT FOR THAT EITHER.

SO THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED. I DON'T THINK IT WAS THE WAY I REMEMBER BECAUSE I WAS THERE WHEN SHE CAME IN.

IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN UP THERE.

UNDERSTOOD. SO YOU'RE WORKING THROUGH TWO PERMITS RIGHT NOW.

ONE FOR THE BUILDING. AND ONE FOR THE CANOPY.

THE ONLY REASON THIS IS BEFORE US IS BECAUSE OF THE THE REAR SETBACK DISTANCE.

[01:10:04]

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. COUNSEL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANTS? ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN, Y'ALL CAN HAVE A SEAT. WE'RE GOING TO. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO WE DO NEED TO CONDUCT THAT BEFORE WE MOVE TO CONSIDER THE ITEM. SO ASK FOR STAFF REAL QUICK. OH, SURE. FOR THOSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS ONE PART LIKE MYSELF, THE SETBACK. WHAT IS THE REASON FOR A SETBACK? IT PROVIDES RELIEF TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS.

SO WILL THIS THREE FEET MAKE A DIFFERENCE OR ANY IMPACTS? YES THERE IS. THERE IS STILL, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN BLOCK WALL BEHIND OR FENCE BEHIND THE PROPERTY BEHIND THAT BUILDING IS A A GARAGE. FOR THE FOR THE ADJACENT PROPERTY. YEAH.

NOT FOR NOT AFFILIATED WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

SO THIS IS JUST MEANT TO BE A RELIEF SO THAT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF SO THAT THE PROPERTY, ANY NEW BUILDING LIKE THIS IS NOT BUILT EXACTLY TO THE PROPERTY LINE.

THIS BEEN WOULD THIS BEEN APPROVED IF THEY WOULD HAVE PERMITTED TO GO THREE FEET BEYOND? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY RIGHT HAD HE NOT ENCROACHED THREE FEET INTO THE SETBACK.

SO IF IT WAS NOT BEYOND THREE FEET, THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY.

RIGHT. THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY REQUEST. THANK YOU.

ALSO, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? ALL RIGHT.

IT IS 8:12 P.M. AND WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IF WE HAVE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, YOU CAN STEP UP TO THE MICROPHONE AND YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

SEEING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:12 P.M. AND MOVE TO ITEM SEVEN F, WHICH IS THE ACTION ITEM ASSOCIATED WITH ITEM SEVEN E AND COUNCIL.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. REEVES. DO I HAVE A. IS THAT A MOTION TO APPROVE? A MOTION TO APPROVE? I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY MR. REEVES. SECOND BY MR. SHOOP. I SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? I WILL MENTION I APPRECIATE YOUR CANDOR.

I APPRECIATE YOU KIND OF LAYING EVERYTHING OUT THERE. I REALIZE THAT IN A WAY, YOU KIND OF GOT CAUGHT WITH YOUR HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR, WHETHER IT WAS INTENTIONAL OR NOT. I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE THAT'S WATCHING AT HOME WOULD MAKE SURE THAT THEY GO THROUGH THE PROPER PROCESSES AND USE A REPUTABLE CONTRACTOR. THAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU GOOD ADVICE TO KNOW THAT YOU NEED A CITY PERMIT TO DO THIS TYPE OF THING. SO COUNCIL, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. MAYOR. YES, MA'AM.

SORRY, I WAS JUST GOING TO CLARIFY, ESPECIALLY FOR COUNCIL MEMBER GIBBS.

THE SETBACK WAS ORIGINALLY 25FT. THEY'RE ONLY REQUESTING IT BE REDUCED TO 22FT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT THEN, LET'S CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT ITEM CARRIES BY A VOTE OF 6 TO 1.

AT THIS TIME, WE WILL TAKE A BRIEF FIVE MINUTE RECESS.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, LET'S GO AHEAD AND RECONVENE.

IT'S 8:21 P.M.. WE'RE GOING TO RECONVENE OUR REGULAR SESSION.

WE JUST CONCLUDED ITEM SEVEN F. WE'RE MOVING ON TO ITEM SEVEN.

[7G. Conduct a public hearing on a request by Artuan McGee, Evolving Texas, on behalf of property owner, Angela Chen, Lakeside Townhome Land Holdings LLC, to 1) Rezone the subject property from Planned Development (PD) District for Limited Commercial/Retail (C-1) to Planned Development (PD) District for Multi-Family Attached Residential Townhouse (MF-TH); 2) Approve a Concept Plan to construct 35 Townhomes; 3) Amend the Comprehensive Plan; and 4) Amend Page 4 of 5 the official Zoning Map of the City. The property is located generally south of Miller Road and west of Navigation Drive, consisting of a 2.323-acre tract situated in the Charles D Merrell Survey, Abstract No. 957, in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas.]

G CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON A REQUEST BY R-2 AND MCGEE INVOLVING TEXAS ON BEHALF OF PROPERTY OWNER ANGELA CHEN.

LAKESIDE TOWNHOME HOLDINGS, LLC TWO NUMBER ONE REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR LIMITED COMMERCIAL RETAIL C-1 TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR MULTIFAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOUSE. MF TH.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED GENERALLY SOUTH OF MILLER ROAD AND WEST OF NAVIGATION DRIVE, CONSISTING OF A 2.323 ACRE TRACT SITUATED IN THE CHARLES DE MERRILL SURVEY.

ABSTRACT NUMBER 957, IN THE CITY OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.

MAKING THAT PRESENTATION AGAIN IS MR. HOLT. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MR. COUNCIL. THIS NEXT ITEM IS A REQUEST FOR A ZONE CHANGE AND A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.

THE PROJECT IS LOCATED AT 8110 MILLER ROAD, SOUTH OF MILLER ROAD AND GENERALLY WEST OF NAVIGATION DRIVE.

THE ZONING IS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH A BASE ZONING OF LIMITED COMMERCIAL RETAIL DISTRICT, AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION IS MULTIFAMILY.

THIS EXHIBIT OR THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE AGAIN.

CURRENTLY, IT'S ZONE PLAN DEVELOPMENT WITH LIMITED COMMERCIAL RETAIL.

THE APPLICANT IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING A CHANGE TO PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR A MULTIFAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOME OR TOWNHOUSE.

MF DASH T H AS IT RELATES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, THE CURRENT THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE

[01:15:06]

PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION IS MULTIFAMILY. THE REQUEST IS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS UNDER 7000FT².

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE CONCEPT PLAN. THE ACCESS POINTS WILL BE TAKEN VIA MILL ROAD.

THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 35 TOWNHOMES. THESE WILL BE INDIVIDUALLY PLATTED.

THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS PD REQUIRES TWO PARKING SPACES PER UNIT.

THERE IS, IN ADDITION, 12 VISITOR PARKING SPACES THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING.

AND THEN THIS WILL BE PROPOSED TO BE A PRIVATE STREET WHICH WILL BE MAINTAINED BY THE HOA.

THERE IS INCOMPATIBLE BUFFER, SO THERE IS A WAIVER REQUEST FOR THAT AS WELL AS THE PRIMARY ENTRY AND THE RIGHT OF WAY BUFFER.

THERE IS TWO TREES REQUIRED. THE MINIMUM IS 9600FT².

AND THEN FOR THE SHRUB BED, A MINIMUM OF 7200FT².

FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY BUFFER. ONE TREE PER 35 FOR EVERY 35FT.

SO THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TEN EVERGREEN SHRUBS PER 30FT.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS. FRONT ENTRY GARAGE.

JUST TYPICAL ELEVATIONS. AND I THINK THE PROPOSED HEIGHT IS ROUGHLY RIGHT AROUND THREE STORIES.

THE TOWNHOMES, AS INDICATED BEFORE, WILL BE PLATTED INDIVIDUALLY.

THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH IS REQUIRED TO BE 30FT.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING 26FT. SO FOR LESS THAN WHAT WAS WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT? THE MINIMUM LOT DEATH DEPTH IS REQUIRED TO BE 100FT.

THE REQUEST IS 42FT. FRONT ENTRY GARAGES AS IT RELATES TO SECTION 70 7-508 D3.

THE ROWLETT DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIRES EITHER A L OR J HOOK DRIVEWAY ENTRANCES WHERE PERMITTED, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING FRONT ENTRY GARAGES, SO THAT IS A SLIGHT VARIATION.

NO. CAN IT BE TREES IN THE FRONT YARD. AND THIS IS REQUIRING TWO TREES.

AND THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING TO PLANT TREES IN THE FRONT YARD.

TYPE BUFFER ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY REQUIRED.

TYPE ONE BUFFER, ONE CANOPY TREE PER 35FT. FEET.

TEN EVERGREEN TREES ARE TEN EVERGREEN BRUSHES PER 30FT.

THE REQUEST IS NO BUFFER TO BE PROVIDED AS IT RELATES TO ALI.

REQUIRED ALI WITH REAR ACCESS GARAGES. THERE WILL BE NO PROPOSED ALI ACCESS.

ACCESS WILL BE FROM THE FRONT ACCESS OFF THE THE STREET TO BE MAINTAINED BY THE HOA.

THE DRIVEWAY LENGTH IS REQUIRED TO BE 20FT. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A 15 FOOT DRIVEWAY LENGTH INSTEAD.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE DRIVEWAY CONSTRUCTION ANGLE.

CONSTRUCTION ANGLE TO STREET MAY VARY BETWEEN 80 TO 90 TO 100 DEGREES.

THE REQUEST FIVE REAR UNITS WILL HAVE DRIVEWAY CONNECTIONS ANGLED TO STREET OF ZERO DEGREES.

SO WHERE THE PROJECT IS GOING TO END IN A CUL DE SAC? THOSE THE CUL DE SAC WILL SERVICE THE POTENTIAL DRIVEWAYS TO THOSE PARTICULAR FIVE UNITS, AND THEN FINALLY PRIVATE ACCESS PERMIT TO MEET THE PRIVATE ACCESS DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS AND TO MAINTAIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROPOSED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION TO GOVERN THE COMMUNITY. ALL SHARED AMENITIES WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOA AS IT RELATES TO THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES.

I THINK WE DO HAVE AN UPDATE FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO SINCE THE PREPARATION OF THIS PRESENTATION WE RECEIVED.

FIVE. MAKE SURE I GET THIS RIGHT. FIVE IN OPPOSITION.

WITHIN 200FT. WE RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL LETTER OF OPPOSITION, BUT THE APPLICANT DIDN'T STATE THEIR ADDRESS, SO WE COULDN'T VERIFY THE DISTANCE. AND THEN THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY TEN MORE WITHIN 100FT THAT WERE IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT ON JUNE 10TH, 2025, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF THIS PROJECT REQUEST.

SO THE ACTIONS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT, THEY MAY APPROVE, APPROVE WITH ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS OR DENY THE REQUEST.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MR. HALL. COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE FOR STAFF?

[01:20:01]

DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE A PRESENTATION OR JUST AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS? JUST AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? MR. SHUPE? YEAH. IT'S NOT JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I GET THE PROCEDURE RIGHT.

WOULD IT REQUIRE A SUPERMAJORITY TO OVERRIDE THE.

YES. SO THIS IS A ZONING REQUEST. AND BECAUSE IT WAS DENIED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, IT DOES REQUIRE A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE BY THE CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF FOR THE APPLICANT BEFORE WE DO THE PUBLIC HEARING? ALL RIGHT. IT'S 8:28 P.M.. THIS TIME, WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM SEVEN.

G. DO WE HAVE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK REGARDING THIS ITEM? MR. COTÉ, YOU CAN'T SHUFFLE AROUND IN YOUR CHAIR LIKE THAT.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:28 P.M.

[7H. Consider action to adopt an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Map by granting a change in rezoning from Planned Development with base zoning of Limited Commercial/Retail (PD - C-1) to Planned Development District with a base zoning of Multi-Family Attached Residential Townhouse (PD - MF-TH) and approving a Concept Plan to construct 35 Townhomes for an approximately 2.323 acre tract located generally south of Miller Road and west of Navigation Drive and being situated in the Charles D Merrell Survey, Abstract No. 957, in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas.]

AND MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN H, WHICH IS THE ACTION ITEM THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, AND I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

GO AHEAD. JUST START SPEAKING. YOU HIT THE MOTION BUTTON. YEAH I DID I HIT THE MOTION BUTTON. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS BECAUSE THE CITY MANAGER OR CITY ATTORNEY HAS ASKED THAT ALL MOTIONS BE MADE FOR THE APPROVAL.

I WILL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS. I THINK THE LET'S GET A SECOND BEFORE YOU COMMENT.

SORRY. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? CAN WE? I APOLOGIZE, CITY SECRETARY. CAN WE RESET THE MOTIONS? WE'VE GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER SHOOP. SHOULD BE A MOTION BY MR. REEVES. PERFECT. HAVE A MOTION BY MR. REEVES.

HAVE A SECOND BY MR. BOWERS. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

AND A SECOND. NOW, DISCUSSION. THANK YOU. SORRY.

YES, I AM GOING TO BE VOTING IN DENIAL OF THIS.

LOOKING AT THE MAP AND WHERE THIS ABUTS UP TO THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD WITH ZERO BARRIER. THREE STOREY HOMES LOOKING DIRECTLY DOWN ON HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 30 PLUS YEARS.

I JUST DON'T THINK THAT'S A GREAT, BEST, HIGHEST USE OF THAT LAND SPACE AND THEREFORE I'M GOING TO VOTE AGAINST THIS COUNCIL.

OTHER COMMENTS. I SEEM TO RECALL THIS COMING BEFORE THE COUNCIL, BEFORE I THINK THIS PROJECT'S BEEN BEFORE.

IF NOT THIS COUNCIL, A PRIOR COUNCIL, AT LEAST ONCE, AND I DON'T SEE ANY MATERIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHEN IT WAS PRESENTED AT THAT TIME AND WHEN IT'S PRESENTED NOW. IT'S STILL VERY TALL BUILDINGS AGAIN NEXT TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

AND AS YOU STATED, THE LINE OF SIGHT IS A CHALLENGE.

AND FOR ME, THE THE MULTITUDE OF WAIVERS AND THE WAIVERS TO REQUEST NO TREE LINE, A SHORTENED DRIVEWAY, A REDUCED RIGHT OF WAY. THERE ARE JUST A NUMBER OF THINGS THERE THAT STRIKE ME ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT POSE A LOT OF REAL CHALLENGES.

AND I DO WORRY ABOUT THINGS LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY AND THOSE THINGS WITH ONLY ONE POINT OF INGRESS AND EGRESS.

I ALSO AM CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT THERE'S NO CUT ACROSS ON MILLER ROAD, SO YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF U-TURN CARS THAT DIRECTION AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT FOR ME, THIS JUST DOES NOT FIT WELL.

IT'S NOT A GOOD USE IN THE SPACE THAT IT'S IN, AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A GOOD I DON'T BELIEVE IT PROVIDES GOOD NEIGHBOR SHIP TO THE PROPERTIES NEXT DOOR. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YEAH. I'LL JUST I'M IN AN AGREEMENT WITH YOU, AND I REALLY AM YOU KNOW THE JUST THE NUMBER OF, OF CHANGES THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR IS ALARMING TO ME.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF WHAT WE DO UP HERE AND A LOT OF WHAT WE DO WHEN WE TALK TO THE PUBLIC, WE WANT GOOD PROJECTS, WE WANT GOOD HOUSING. WE WANT PROJECTS THAT ARE AN ASSET TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I DON'T SEE THAT THIS WITH THIS PROJECT. AND I WILL BE VOTING NO ON IT.

ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL. ANY LAST COMMENTS BEFORE WE CALL THE VOTE? ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE. AGAIN, THIS IS A MOTION TO APPROVE. A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS MOTION IS A MOTION TO.

IS A VOTE TO APPROVE A VOTE? NO. WOULD BE A VOTE AGAINST THE MOTION TO APPROVE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT IS UNANIMOUSLY VOTED IN OPPOSITION.

SO THAT MOTION DOES NOT CARRY. CITY ATTORNEY.

ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO DO? WE'RE GOOD THERE. PERFECT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. HALL. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. NEXT, WE MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN.

[7I. Conduct a public hearing on a request by Michael Doggett, on behalf of property owner JFH Rowlett LLC, regarding a request for a change in zoning from Commercial/Retail (C-2) to Commercial/Retail with a Special Use Permit to allow for a vehicle service and repair facility (C-2- SUP) for an 0.87 acre tract described as a portion of Lot 2R, Block A of the Amesbury Addition, Phase II, in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas and being more commonly known as 8101 Lakeview Parkway.]

I CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON A REQUEST BY MICHAEL DOGGETT ON BEHALF OF PROPERTY OWNER J.F.

ROWLETT, LLC, REGARDING A REQUEST FOR A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM COMMERCIAL RETAIL C-2 TO COMMERCIAL RETAIL, WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR A VEHICLE SERVICE AND REPAIR FACILITY.

[01:25:03]

C-2, FOR A 0.87 ACRE TRACT DESCRIBED AS A PORTION OF LOT TWO, ARE BLOCK A AND THE AMESBURY ADDITION, PHASE TWO IN THE CITY OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, AND BEING MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 8101 LAKEVIEW PARKWAY.

MR. HALL, BACK AGAIN. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE OF THE COUNCIL.

COUNSEL. THIS REQUEST IS ACTUALLY FOR A BRAKE PLUS A PROPOSED NEW BRAKES PLUS FACILITY LOCATED AT 8101 LAKEVIEW PARKWAY.

THE ZONING IS GENERAL COMMERCIAL, RETAIL C-2, AND THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS COMMERCIAL RETAIL OFFICE.

THIS SITE IS APPROXIMATELY 80.87 ACRES AND THE REQUEST IS FOR VEHICLE REPAIR.

AS COUNSEL IS FULLY AWARE, ANY VEHICLE REPAIR PROJECT HAS TO COME BEFORE COUNCIL THROUGH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

IT REQUIRES ALSO A SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND IT'S INCLUDED IS IS ALSO AN ALTERNATIVE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

THE PROPOSED BUILDING IS 40 900FT². IT DOES MEET ALL THE C2 DENSITY AND DIMENSION REQUIREMENTS.

AND IT ALSO MEETS ALL THE ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

THERE ARE REQUIRED PARKING. BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF BAYS, AND SO THE PROPOSED NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES IS 32.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 34. THERE IS AN ACCESS EASEMENT THAT WILL BE REQUIRED AS PART OF THE FINAL PLAT.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS. AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THIS IS A NEW BREAKS PLUS ESTABLISHMENT.

AND JUST SHOWS DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS. YOU SEE THE PROPOSED NUMBER OF BAYS.

IN THE SECOND ILLUSTRATION THERE. AS IT RELATES TO ANY SUP COMING BEFORE CITY COUNCIL, THERE ARE SOME REQUIRED FINDINGS. ONE CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND REGULATIONS.

THE PROPOSED BRICKS PLUS FACILITY IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS AND ALIGNS WITH THE INTENDED RETAIL COMMERCIAL OFFICE LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS. NUMBER TWO, IT ALIGNS WITH THE ZONING DISTRICTS PURPOSE AND INTENT.

NUMBER THREE ADDRESSING CHANGING CONDITIONS AND TRENDS OF PROPOSED SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

THE REQUEST ADDRESSES CURRENT MARKET TRENDS AND SERVICE DEMANDS.

PROVIDES FOR MODERN AUTOMOTIVE FACILITY IN RESPONSE TO CONTINUED COMMERCIAL GROWTH ALONG LAKEVIEW PARKWAY.

MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF HEALTH, SAFETY, MORAL AND GENERAL WELFARE.

THE PROJECT HAS DESIGNED IS PROJECT PROJECTED, PROTECT AND ENHANCE THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND GENERAL WELFARE BY ADHERING TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS RELATED TO CIRCULATION, LANDSCAPING, FIRE ACCESS AND ADA COMPLIANCE.

THE OTHER APPROVED CRITERIA INCLUDE TRAFFICKING, UTILITY SERVICES, IMPACT TO NEARBY PROPERTY RETAIL USES, AND SUITABILITY FOR ZONING, AND PROPOSED USES.

OVERALL, THE SITE IS SUITABLE FOR THE PROPOSED USE AND CAN SUPPORT THE BRICKS PLUS FACILITY WITH MINIMAL IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.

SO AS WE LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPE PLAN THE RIGHT OF WAY BUFFER, THERE ARE PROPOSED FOUR TREES AND 37 SHRUBS.

THE COMPATIBILITY BUFFER, 14 TREES AND 222 SHRUBS.

THE INCOMPATIBILITY BUFFER INCLUDES A MASONRY WALL AND 37 SHRUBS.

AND THEN, WITHIN THE PARKING LOT ITSELF, THERE ARE EIGHT TREES.

THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. THE ALTERNATIVE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

THE REQUEST IS TO MODIFY 20 FOOT RIGHT AWAY. BUFFER STANDARDS ALONG LAKEVIEW PARKWAY FOR TREES ARE REQUIRED.

THE CONSTRAINTS THERE, EXISTING UTILITY EASEMENTS AND OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL LINES.

AND SO IN RESPONSE TO THIS, THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED TO RELOCATE THOSE CANOPY TREES ALONG THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE OF THE PROJECT SITE. THE APPROVAL CRITERIA, YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER UNIQUE SITE CONSTRAINTS.

IT MEETS THE INTENT, THE CONSISTENCY AND COMPLIANCE.

THERE IS NO MODIFICATION BEYOND THE PERMITTED REQUEST AS IT RELATES TO THE NOTIFICATIONS WE RECEIVED.

WE SENT OUT 30 RESPONSES AND WE RECEIVED ONE IN OPPOSITION AND WITHIN 78 NOTICES WITHIN THE 500 FOOT PUBLIC NOTICE.

THAT WAS SENT OUT. WE RECEIVED ZERO IN OPPOSITION ON JUNE 24TH.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.

SO THE ACTION BEFORE CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT IS TO APPROVE APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS OR TO DENY THE APPLICATION.

AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

[01:30:03]

COUNCIL QUESTIONS, MR. HALL. REAL QUICK, CAN WE TOUCH ON THE TREE LINE TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY? YOU MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE REQUESTING NO TREES ON THAT SEGMENT OF THE PROPERTY, IS THAT CORRECT? WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK. YES. AND THAT WAS DUE TO THE POWER LINES THAT ARE ALONG THE ALLEY, THEIR POWER LINES, AND THEN SOME UTILITY LINES THAT ARE WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

YEAH. SO TALK TO ME ABOUT THE OTHER ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

SO THERE'S THE STARBUCKS PROPERTY, WHICH HAS A DRIVE THROUGH ALONG THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY, AND IT HAS TREES THAT WERE INSTALLED.

AND THEN TO THE EAST OF THAT AND THE SHOPPING CENTER THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR SOME TIME, THERE'S TREES THERE AS WELL. I HAVE A HARD TIME THINKING WHY WE WOULD NOT REQUIRE THIS APPLICANT TO PUT TREES ALONG THAT EXACT SAME STRETCH OF SPACE.

GIVEN THAT SOME OF THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES HAVE EITHER APPARENTLY BEEN REQUIRED TO OR HAVE VOLUNTARILY ADDED TREES THERE.

THAT IS A GOOD POINT. IS THAT A QUESTION THAT THE APPLICANT CAN ADDRESS? AND MAYBE FROM HERE IT ACTUALLY KIND OF LOOKS LIKE THERE'S TREES ON THE NORTH PART.

MAYBE THE APPLICANT COULD SPEAK TO THAT. IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE, PLEASE. MICHAEL DOGGETT, EVANGELIST, CIVIL ENGINEERING, WYLIE, TEXAS.

WE'RE NOT REQUESTING ANY WAIVER ON THE NORTH SIDE.

IT'S ALL ON THE SOUTH SIDE ALONG 66. THERE'S OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINES THAT ARE OWNED BY ENCORE UP AND DOWN 66 THAT PREVENTED.

THAT PREVENTS US AND OUR NEIGHBORS FROM PLANTING ANYTHING IN THAT BUFFER.

OKAY. THAT ONE, I'LL BELIEVE THAT 100%. WE'LL BELIEVE THAT ONE.

I DID A MASONRY WALL RIGHT. AND I SAW THE I SAW THE ABOVE GROUND ELECTRICAL LINES BEHIND THE PROPERTY AND THOUGHT MAYBE THAT'S WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

BUT NO, THAT'S. YEAH. TALKING ABOUT THE SOUTH SIDE. PERFECT.

DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT YOU INTEND TO PRESENT? NO, YOU'RE JUST HERE FOR QUESTIONS. OKAY. PERFECT. REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? YEAH. QUICK QUESTION.

I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT THIS WILL HAVE A PIT.

CORRECT. OR 1 OR 2 PITS. YES. HOW MANY? I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER.

OKAY, BUT. BUT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO, DOES THE PROPERTY OWNER OWN THIS ENTIRE TRACT OF PROPERTY FROM THE AUTOZONE TO WHERE THE FUTURE CHIPOTLE IS GOING TO BE? YES. IT'LL HAVE TO BE REPLANTED TO BE INTO TWO LOTS.

INTO TWO LOTS. OKAY. SO THERE'S NO INTENTION FOR BREAKS PLUS TO DO ANYTHING WITH THAT ADJACENT PROPERTY.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE VACANT. OKAY. HAVE YOU ALL STARTED ANY WORK OUT THERE YET? I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF WORK HAPPENING, BUT I THINK IT MAY BE CHIPOTLE RELATED. NOT ONLY THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THIS POINT. WE HAVEN'T SUBMITTED OUR ENGINEERING PLANS.

WE'RE WAITING ON THIS APPROVAL TO BE ABLE TO SUBMIT.

UNDERSTOOD. YEAH. COUNCIL. OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MAYBE. STEVEN. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, WE WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:40 P.M.

ON AGENDA ITEM SEVEN. I THANK YOU ALL THE LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET TODAY.

AGENDA ITEM SEVEN I. 8:40 P.M. DO WE HAVE ANY REQUESTS TO SPEAK FROM THE AUDIENCE ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:41 P.M.

AND MOVE TO ITEM SEVEN J, WHICH IS THE ACTION ITEM ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

[7J. Consider action to adopt an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and map by granting a change in zoning for an approximately 0.87-acre tract described as a portion of Lot 2R, Block A of the Amesbury Addition, Phase II, in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas and being more commonly known as 8101 Lakeview Parkway from Commercial/Retail (C-2) to Commercial/Retail with a Special Use Permit to allow vehicle service and repair (C-2 - SUP).]

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION IF THERE'S NO FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT OR STAFF. O FOR THIS FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

NOW WE ALREADY DID THE PUBLIC HEARING, SO IF YOU'RE READY FOR A MOTION, I'M READY. CAN I MAKE A COMMENT? MAKE A COMMENT I WILL MAKE COMMENT. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE SPEED FOR THESE TYPE OF BUSINESSES WAS PUT INTO PLACE IS BECAUSE WE HAVE A PROLIFERATION OF THESE TYPE OF BUSINESSES ALL UP AND DOWN LAKEVIEW PARKWAY. LAKEVIEW PARKWAY IS ARGUABLY THE MOST VALUABLE ASSET THAT WE HAVE.

AS FAR AS REAL ESTATE ASSET, I, I MEAN, THIS IS NO OFFENSE, BUT THE LAST THING WE NEED IS ANOTHER BREAK SHOP.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OR I DON'T CALL IT PROBLEM.

ONE OF THE ONE OF THE ISSUES WITH ANY OF THESE TYPE OF BUSINESSES, WHICH WOULD BE OIL CHANGE BUSINESSES BREAK SHOPS, ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES PITS AND THIS TYPE OF A, THIS TYPE OF A SETUP, THEY CAN'T BE REUSED.

I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TURN IT INTO A PET SHOP. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TURN IT INTO A RESTAURANT.

IT WILL IN PERPETUITY BE SOME SORT OF AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE.

AND IF YOU FEEL LIKE GREAT, WE WANT ANOTHER AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR TYPE OF BUSINESS ON LAKEVIEW TAKING UP NEXT DOORS OR CHIPOTLE. I'D RATHER MUCH RATHER HAVE A PARCEL OF LAND AVAILABLE FOR SOMEBODY WHO MAY WANT TO HAVE A RESTAURANT NEXT TO A CHIPOTLE, RATHER THAN JUST ANOTHER BREAK SHOP. I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS.

I THINK JUST FOR ME, THIS DOES NOT MEET ANY OF THE CRITERIA THAT THAT WILL ELEVATE BOTH ROULETTE AND

[01:35:05]

THE THE EXPERIENCE ON LAKEVIEW PARKWAY. YEAH.

AND IN ADDITION TO MAYOR PRO MAYOR PRO TEM SHOUP, I SURVEYED THE AREA, WENT OVER ON LAKEVIEW PARKWAY AND AT 8101 LAKEVIEW.

THAT IS ONE MINUTE FROM ANOTHER BREAK SHOP. SO I WILL NOT BE IN FAVOR AS WELL.

COUNSEL, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MOTION FOR MISS BOWERS.

I MAKE A MOTION. SORRY. IT'S OKAY. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONE ORDINANCE AND MAP BY GRANTING THE CHANGE IN ZONING FOR APPROXIMATELY 0.87 TRACT AS A PORTION OF LOT TO OUR.

YOU KNOW, I THINK I'M ON THE WRONG. SORRY. YOU'RE NO.

YOU'RE RIGHT. SEVEN J, SEVEN J. OKAY. IS YOUR MOTION TO APPROVE IT AS PRESENTED? IT IS. OKAY. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I HAVE A MOTION BY OUR SECOND BY MR. BOWERS. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. AND A SECOND.

NOW, WE'LL OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, IF THERE ARE ANY. I'M GOING TO ADD SOME COMMENTS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT MR. SHUPE SAID WITHIN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, BECAUSE THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

THERE ARE AT LEAST FOUR OTHER AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SHOPS.

WITHIN THAT, WITHIN THAT PROBABLY A QUARTER MILE RADIUS, IF YOU WILL.

PARKWAY CAR CARE. THERE'S THE VALVOLINE INSTANT OIL CHANGE, THERE'S QUICK CAR LUBE, AND THERE'S A TAKE FIVE OIL CHANGE THAT'S JUST ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN. IF I GO OVER TO THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN, I'VE GOT PAUL'S OIL STATION, WHICH WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH FROM OUR DISCUSSION EARLIER TONIGHT. GO GOLDEN RULE AUTO CARE. WE HAVE ANOTHER QUICK CAR.

WE HAVE FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE. WE HAVE A TAKE FIVE OIL CHANGE.

THERE'S EAGLE TRANSMISSION AND PROBABLY OTHERS THAT GOOGLE HAS NOT MANAGED TO FIND FOR ME RIGHT NOW.

SO I WOULD IMAGINE THERE ARE NO SHORTAGE OF THESE SHOPS AS IT STANDS.

AND I'M KEENLY AWARE OF THE REASON THAT WE PASSED THAT PARTICULAR ORDINANCE REQUIRING SUPS ON CAR WASHES AND QUICK CHANGE REPAIR SHOPS JUST LIKE THIS ONE.

I WOULD AGREE THAT THERE IS A PROLIFERATION, AND I THINK THAT ON ITS FACE IS GROUNDS ENOUGH TO DENY THIS ITEM, SO I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS ITEM. COUNCIL.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? JEFF? YES, MA'AM. THE I, I FOLLOWING COUNCIL MEMBER REEVES.

I DID MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE AS THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS RECOMMENDED.

UNDERSTOOD. ALL RIGHT, SO WE DO HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE, JUST TO BE CLEAR.

SO AGAIN, A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE SITE AND WOULD BE TO APPROVE THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

IS THERE ANY LAST DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT, LET'S CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE.

AND THAT ITEM IS THAT MOTION IS DENIED UNANIMOUSLY.

SO WE WILL MOVE ON FROM THAT ITEM TO ITEM SEVEN.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 4310 MAIN STREET AND 4311 KIRBY STREET, CONSISTING OF A 1.801 ACRE TRACT SITUATED IN THE WILLIAM CRABTREE SURVEY.

ABSTRACT 347, IN THE CITY OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.

MR. HALL, IT'S THE MR. HALL SHOW TONIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL THIS NEXT PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS LOCATED AT 4310 MAIN AND 4311 KIRBY STREET, SOUTH OF MAIN AND WEST OF CENTENNIAL. THE ZONING FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION IS FORM BASED URBAN VILLAGE.

THE SITE IS APPROXIMATELY 1.8 ACRES, AND THIS IS LOCATED WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN ROWLETT STRATEGIC PLAN.

THE REQUEST BEFORE COUNCIL IS A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF 61 UNITS FOR MULTIFAMILY.

IT DOES INCLUDE 2300FT² OF RETAIL SPACE, A COMMERCIAL SPACE.

THIS REQUIRES A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, A SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND THERE ARE SOME WARRANTS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT.

AS WAS DESCRIBED EARLIER, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.

61 UNITS OF MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS. THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING IS 63FT.

AND IT IS LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN. SO THAT'S APPROXIMATELY FOUR STORIES.

THE PARKING FOR THE PROJECT IS THE DEVELOPER IS OFFERING 96 PARKING SPACES.

SEVEN OF THOSE PARKING SPACES ARE. SEVEN ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES FOR RETAIL AND SEVEN BICYCLE PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED AS IT

[01:40:06]

RELATES TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. THE REQUIRED TREES INCLUDE FIVE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING FIVE AS IT RELATES TO THE PARKING LOT.

THEIR REQUIRED TREES ARE 13. THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING SIX, SO A WARRANT WILL BE REQUIRED.

THE MINIMUM OPEN SHADE IS REQUIRED IS 78 40FT², 47FT².

AND THAT IS BEING MET BY THE PROPOSAL. AND THE THE MINIMUM USABLE SHADE AND OPEN SPACE IS 1662FT².

AND WHAT'S BEING PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT IS 2800FT².

THE SITE IS MEETING THE TREE MITIGATION PLAN AS REQUIRED.

AND THE FORM BASED CODE. THIS SLIDE SHOWS ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDING.

THE THE LARGE WINDOWS AT THE BOTTOM REPRESENT THE COMMERCIAL SPACE THAT'S GOING TO BE OFFERED.

AND THEN ABOVE SECOND FLOOR AND ABOVE WILL INCLUDE THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

THESE ARE ADDITIONAL ELEVATIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WARRANTS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT.

MINOR WARRANT TO THE FOREIGN BASED CODE. ARTICLE 2.10 POINT THREE ACCESS DRIVE.

STATES. ALL ACCESS DRIVES REQUIRE A MINOR WARRANT IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF ACCESS DRIVE INTERSECTIONS ALONG A BLOCK FACE.

THIS WARRANT IS ROUTINE IN NATURE AND DOES NOT REPRESENT A DEVIATION FROM THE FORM BASED CODE REQUIREMENT.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING ACCESS TO THE SITE FROM BOTH MAIN STREET AND KIRBY STREET.

AND THEN A WARRANT TO FORM BASED CODE ARTICLE 2.8.6.2, WHICH IS FOR INTERIOR PARKING LOT LANDSCAPE.

AND THIS PARTICULAR REQUIREMENT IS FOR INTERIOR PARKING LOT LANDSCAPE TO INCLUDE THE PLANTING OF CANOPY TREES TO REDUCE THE HEAT ISLAND EFFECT.

THE CANOPY TREE IS REQUIRED FOR EVERY EIGHT PARKING SPACES.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A WARRANT TO THIS REQUIREMENT AS PROVIDING THE SEVEN FOOT LANDSCAPE ISLAND.

AND THIS INDICATED IT WOULD BE CHALLENGING IN PORTIONS OF THE PARKING LOT DUE TO THE WIDTH OF THE SITE ITSELF.

THIS ILLUSTRATION SHOWS THE POINTS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS INTO THE PARKING FOR THE STRUCTURE.

ALL ACCESS DRIVES REQUIRE MINOR WARRANT, AS WAS DESCRIBED.

THE NUMBER OF ACCESS DRIVE INTERSECTIONS ALONG THE BLOCK FACE.

AND SO THIS IS TYPICAL IN NATURE AND DOES NOT REPRESENT A DEVIATION FROM THE FORM BASED CODE REQUIREMENT.

THE INTERIOR PARKING LOTS, AS DESCRIBED EARLIER INCLUDE THE PLANTING OF CANOPY TREES TO REDUCE THE HEAT ISLAND EFFECT.

AND THEN AS IT RELATES TO THIS, THE SPECIFIC APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND REGULATIONS, THE PROJECT COMPLIES WITH THE FORM BASED CODE.

URBAN VILLAGE THE PROJECT COMPLIES WITH THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE.

NUMBER TWO, IT ALIGNS WITH THE ZONING DISTRICT. PURPOSE AND INTENT. THE PROJECT COMPLIES WITH THE FORM BASED CODE.

URBAN VILLAGE. AND THEN ADDRESSING CHANGES, CONDITIONS OR TRENDS.

PROPOSING PROPOSED BY THE SUP. THE DESIGN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE IMPROVED AND GROWING CONCEPT OF OUR MAIN STREET AREA.

HEALTH, SAFETY. MORAL AND GENERAL WELFARE. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE NICE LIVING SPACE ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING DART TRAIN STATION.

SUFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION AND UTILITY SERVICES, CAR PARKING AND TRAIN TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED EXISTING WATER AND SEWER ALONG MAIN STREET.

THE IMPACT TO NEARBY PROPERTY. RETAIL USES WILL IMPROVE THE LOOK OF THE ABANDONED HOUSE STRUCTURES AND VACANT LOTS THAT ARE NEARBY, AND THEN FINALLY SUITABLE SUITABILITY FOR ZONING AND PROPOSED USE.

THE PROJECT IS CONSISTENT AGAIN WITH THE FORM BASED CODE URBAN VILLAGE CONCEPT, AS IT RELATES TO THE PUBLIC NOTICES THAT WERE SENT OUT ON JUNE 13TH.

WE SENT OUT 18 WITHIN 200FT. WE RECEIVED NONE IN OPPOSITION, NONE IN FAVOR.

AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL 39 WERE SENT OUT WITHIN 500FT.

AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY IN OPPOSITION IN FAVOR.

ON JUNE 24TH, 2025. THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, ON A VOTE OF 3 TO 2, RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION BEFORE CITY COUNCIL IS TO APPROVE TO APPROVE THE CONDITIONS OR TO DENY.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

QUESTION ON THE MIXED USE COMPONENT OF THIS. SO THE DOWNSTAIRS IS DESIGNATED AS SOME SORT OF COMMERCIAL USE.

IS THAT THE ENTIRETY OF THE DOWNSTAIRS OF THE FIRST FLOOR IS ALL DESIGNATED FOR COMMERCIAL USE, OR IS THERE A PORTION OF IT THAT WOULD BE RESIDENTIAL? THAT MIGHT BE A QUESTION THAT WE NEED TO GET ANSWERED BY THE APPLICANT.

[01:45:03]

I DO KNOW THAT APPROXIMATELY 2300 OF THAT SPACE DOWNTOWN IS GOING TO BE RESERVED FOR THE COMMERCIAL USE, BUT THERE COULD BE SOME ANCILLARY RESIDENTIAL USES THAT WILL BE THERE AS WELL.

OKAY, WE DON'T HAVE THE EXACT FLOOR PLAN TO SHOW THE LAYOUT OF THE FIRST FLOOR.

OKAY. DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE A PRESENTATION ALSO? NO. NO PRESENTATION. OKAY. COUNSEL, OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

MY MAIN QUESTION WITH RESPECT TO THAT IS. WHAT WOULD TIE THE DEVELOPER TO ENSURING THAT THERE ARE COMMERCIAL SPACES IN THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT? IS THAT A REQUIREMENT BASED ON THE APPROVAL OR IS THAT A REQUIREMENT BASED ON THE FORM BASED CODE? HOW COULD. HOW COULD WE ENSURE THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL IN THE FIRST FLOOR? SO IT WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT OF THE FORM BASED CODE AS I KNOW IT.

THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION AND THE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THIS PARTICULAR URBAN VILLAGE UNDERLINING LAND USE REQUIRES ANY TYPE OF MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE FIRST FLOOR COMMERCIAL USE.

SO THIS WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT. AND WOULD THERE BE ANYTHING IN EITHER THEIR REQUEST OR OUR CODE OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM OVER TIME TO CONVERT THAT TO RESIDENTIAL IF THE RETAIL USE DID NOT LEASE UP? NO. OKAY. PERFECT. IT WOULD REQUIRE A CHANGE OF OF THAT ACTUAL LAND USE WITHIN FORM BASED CODE.

GOT IT. SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE THIS BODY. PERFECT.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL. OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS WERE LEFT FOR THE RETAIL? IS IT SEVEN? I WANT TO SAY SEVEN. YES. FOR 2300FT².

YES. AND THEN THE OTHER INGRESS AND STUFF LIKE, IS ON KIRBY AND KIRBY'S.

BASICALLY JUST ALMOST A ONE LANE ROAD IN AND OUT KIRBY STREET.

YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES. OH. GO AHEAD. YEAH. SO COULD YOU TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT KIRBY STREET? BECAUSE THAT DOES CONCERN ME. I ACTUALLY DROVE DOWN THERE AND I WAS I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED IN TERMS OF THE CONDITION OF THE STREET ITSELF.

YES. AND SO MANY ADDITIONAL CARS ON THAT STREET.

I, I'M, I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THAT IN TERMS OF IMPROVEMENTS OF KIRBY, PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS.

WE DO TAKE ALL THESE PROJECTS TO WORK WITH OUR CIVIL ENGINEERS TO DETERMINE IF THE CAPACITY CAN BE MET BASED UPON THE PROPOSED USE.

AND AT THIS POINT, THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANY ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED TO BE MADE ON KIRBY.

ALRIGHTY. I AM JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE OF THAT OF THAT ENTRANCE EXIT.

THANK YOU, CITY ATTORNEY. COULD IT BE A CONDITION OF OUR APPROVAL TO MAKE THE KIRBY ENTRANCE AND EMERGENCY GATE ONLY FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS, AND NOT HAVE IT BE A GENERAL ACCESS DRIVE? YOU COULD, AS LONG AS IT MEETS THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS.

YOU KNOW. WOULD THERE BE SUFFICIENT ACCESS THEN TO MEET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS? PROBABLY THE ONLY CONCERN WE WOULD HAVE. WE WOULD HAVE TO CHECK WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT.

THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS. TYPICALLY IN SITUATIONS LIKE THAT THERE IS A KNOCK BOX WHERE THEY COULD HAVE TWO.

THEY WILL NORMALLY REQUIRE TWO POINTS OF INGRESS EGRESS, BUT IF THEY HAVE ACCESS DIRECTLY THEN WE COULD POTENTIALLY GET THEM TO SUPPORT THAT.

SO CHIEF GAUTHIER IS HERE. COULD WE ACTUALLY CHIEF, COULD YOU COME UP AND SPEAK TO THAT? HOPEFULLY YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ALONG AND NOT PLAYING CANDY CRUSH. AS HE'S COMING UP, I JUST WANTED TO VOICE THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAME AS ELISE IS.

SORRY, COUNCILOR BAUER OR SOMETHING. I'M SORRY.

SO IF WE COULD. WHAT WAS THE QUESTION SPECIFIC AGAIN? SURE. SO WITHIN WITHIN THE PLAN THAT'S UP ON THE SCREEN HERE AT THE TOP LEFT, THE NORTH DRIVE LEADS OUT TO MAIN STREET, AND THE SOUTH DRIVE AS IT SNAKES AROUND, LEADS OUT TO KIRBY STREET IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

AND KIRBY STREET PRESENTLY IS A VERY SMALL, VERY TINY RESIDENTIAL STREET.

THAT'S NOT IN GREAT CONDITION. THERE IS A LONG TERM PLAN TO WIDEN THAT STREET AND ENHANCE IT AS PART OF THE OVERALL DOWNTOWN PLAN, BUT TODAY IT'S NOT IN GREAT CONDITION. SO THE QUESTION WAS COULD COUNCIL STIPULATE THAT AN EMERGENCY ACCESS GATE BE PLACED THERE UNTIL THAT ROAD WIDENING HAPPENS TO ALLOW FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS? SHOULD FIRE TRUCKS OR AMBULANCES NEED TO ACCESS THAT GATE, BUT NOT FOR A GENERAL ACCESS DRIVE.

[01:50:05]

SO I GUESS COUNCIL COULD STIPULATE WHATEVER THEY CHOSE, BUT I THINK I WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE FIRST TO REALLY VERIFY THAT BEFORE I COULD GIVE YOU AN ACCURATE ANSWER, BECAUSE I DO KNOW THAT PART OF IT IS MULTIPLE WAYS OF ACCESS TO IT.

BUT IF WE HAD A GATE THAT HAD A NOX BOX KEY TO THE POINT THAT HE WAS MAKING, THAT PROBABLY COULD SATISFY.

BUT I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE AND GET BACK WITH YOU.

OKAY, SO LET'S SEE HOW THIS DISCUSSION GOES. AND THEN MAYBE WE'LL BE HAVING THAT CONVERSATION.

CAN WE GET THE APPLICANT UP TO ANSWER A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS? I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. I FEEL LIKE WE'RE TALKING AROUND YOU INSTEAD OF TO YOU, AND WE PROBABLY SHOULD DO THAT.

SO IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. SURE. REESE FLANAGAN, CIVIL ENGINEER OUT OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS.

AND WE DO HAVE THE ARCHITECTURE TEAM AND DEVELOPMENT GROUP WITH US.

PERFECT. THANK YOU. SO, AS WAS MENTIONED OR ASKED, WOULD THE ENTIRETY OF THE FIRST FLOOR BE COMMERCIAL OR ARE WE TALKING A PORTION OF IT, AND IF SO, APPROXIMATELY WHAT PART? I KNOW THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS CORRECT.

IS IT THE ENTIRE FIRST FLOOR THAT IS DEDICATED? IT'S JUST THE 20 OR THE 2000 SOMEWHAT SQUARE FEET.

IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH. JUST THE FRONT. AND IT'S LABELED ON ELEVATIONS WHERE THE RETAIL IS.

2307FT². CAN YOU PULL YOUR MIC CLOSER RIGHT HERE? REAL GOOD. YEAH. JUST TO CLARIFY, IT IS JUST THE 2307FT² DEDICATED FOR RETAIL SPACE.

WHAT WOULD THAT RETAIL BE TARGETING? PRIMARILY.

RESTAURANTS. RESTAURANTS. OKAY, THIS IS REAL SMALL IN HERE.

SO? SO PARDON ME. WHAT IS THE ORIENTATION OF THE RETAIL COMPONENTS AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEM RIGHT NOW? I MEAN, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT DIFFERENT SIDES I MEAN WHAT EVERYTHING EVERY FIRST FLOOR ALL GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WAS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE CASE. SO I JUST I REALLY CAN'T I CAN'T SEE DETAIL TO, TO KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IT IS YOU'RE REALLY, REALLY PRESENTING AND WHERE THESE, THESE COMMERCIAL SPACES, WHAT WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO FRONT.

JUST FOR POINT OF REFERENCE FOR ME. GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS GREG GARIN. I'M AN ARCHITECT FROM HEARTLAND, TEXAS, AND IT'S THE WHOLE FRONTAGE OF THE BUILDING.

AND THEN THE DEPTH BACK TO THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE BUILDING ON MAIN STREET, THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE BUILDING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE DRIVE, THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE STREET ON KIRBY STREET.

I'M NOT SURE I KNOW WHAT FRONT OF THE BUILDING MEANS.

YES. MAIN STREET, SO THE COMMERCIAL, THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT IS ONLY ON THE FIRST FLOOR ON THE MAIN STREET SIDE.

IS THAT WHAT WE'RE SAYING? YES. AND THESE ELEVATIONS ON THE HIGHER RESOLUTION.

THERE'S A THERE'S. I'M SORRY. COULD YOU GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE? I CAN'T HEAR THE THE TWO DIMENSIONAL COLOR ELEVATIONS, THE THERE'S WORDING ON THERE UNDERNEATH THE WINDOWS THAT SAYS RETAIL.

SO YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS RENDERING HOW THE RETAIL WRAPS AROUND THE CORNER WITH THE STOREFRONT GLASSES.

AND THIS IS THE THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT THAT IS FACING MAIN STREET.

IS THAT WHAT I'M LOOKING AT? YES. WITH THE BROWN BRICK ON THE GROUND.

IT WRAPS AROUND THE CORNER. SO THAT'S THE COMMERCIAL SPACE.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT IS THE WRAP IS. IT'S ALSO A VIEW FROM MAIN STREET JUST ON STANDING ON THE LEFT.

I'M STILL NOT SURE HOW. OH OKAY. OKAY I'M GETTING I'M GETTING NOW OKAY.

BUT BASICALLY THAT IS THE RETAIL COMPONENT IS THE THE SHORT SIDES FACING MAIN STREET IS BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT CORRECT? YES. AND HOW MANY WITHOUT COUNTING THESE AND NOT WORRIED ABOUT SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT IN THE DESIGN, HOW MANY UNITS, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY FRONT DOORS ARE THERE? ARE THERE GOING TO BE ON THAT, ON THAT FACING.

YEAH. IF WE COULD LOOK AT THE TWO DIMENSIONAL COLOR ELEVATION.

WELL, THAT'S EVEN BETTER. YEAH. IN YOUR IN YOUR PACKET, I THINK IT'S PAGE 423 IS PROBABLY WHAT HE'S REFERRING TO.

WELL I WAS LOOKING AT IT, BUT IT WAS VERY AGAIN VERY HARD TO FOR.

I'M SORRY FOR. FOR 36. FOR 23 IS THE TWO DIMENSIONAL RENDERING. I THINK THAT'S 423. OKAY, I'VE GOT THAT.

SO IN THAT GRAPHIC TO THE ON 423 TO THE LEFT, WE SHOW THREE BAYS FACING MAIN STREET.

[01:55:09]

AND THEN TWO OF THOSE BAYS HAVE DOORS IN THEM.

SO THAT'S PAGE 422 IN YOUR PACKET COUNCIL. THE RENDERING TO THE RIGHT HAS A DOOR ON EACH END OF THE BUILDING WITH THE MIDDLE WINDOWS WITH NO DOOR. THAT'S THE MAIN STREET SIDE, THE ONE THAT SAYS OASIS AT THE TOP RIGHT? AND THEN ON PAGE 423, THAT IS THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

SO MAIN STREETS TO YOUR LEFT IN THAT RENDERING.

AND THERE'S TWO DOORS. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WOULD BE IS THAT TWO DOORS OR JUST ONE DOOR.

THAT WOULD BE. YEAH. THAT'S A DOUBLE DOOR. SO WE'RE LOOKING PROBABLY TWO TENANTS.

YEAH. SO ONE ON THE EAST SIDE, ONE ON THE WEST SIDE.

THANK YOU. EVERYBODY KIND OF CATCH THAT. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. FROM YOUR BRAIN TO OUR BRAIN, WE'RE WE'RE PICKING UP WHAT YOU'RE LAYING DOWN.

APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. COUNSEL, WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO WE HAVE FOR THE APPLICANT? WITH RESPECT. GO AHEAD. MY MAIN CONCERN IS STILL KIRBY STREET.

DID HAVE Y'ALL DROVE THAT AND SAW THAT BY CHANCE? YES. AND CURRENTLY, IT'S A DIRT ROAD THAT THAT PEOPLE USE TO CUT THROUGH THIS PROPERTY AS A WAY OUT.

SO IF ANYTHING, WE KIND OF REALIZED THIS WOULD BE IMPROVING THE NATURAL PATH THAT IS THERE NOW FOR PEOPLE TO IT WOULD BE A DEDICATED FIRE LANE. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NORTH SOUTH PORTION OF KIRBY, WHICH CURRENTLY SPANS THE PROPERTY.

I THINK WHAT MR. GIBBS IS TALKING ABOUT IS THE EAST WEST PORTION THAT RUNS NEXT TO THE RESIDENTIAL HOMES TOWARDS SKYLINE.

SKYLINE? YES. SO THAT PORTION IS NOT DIRT, BUT IT'S NOT MUCH BETTER THAN DIRT.

I DON'T THINK IT'S CONCRETE. IS IT? IS IT CONCRETE? OKAY. I KNOW IT'S NOT IN GREAT CONDITION AND IT'S NOT VERY BIG.

THERE'S PART OF THE PLAN. WE'RE PROVIDING A 15 FOOT DEDICATION FOR THE FUTURE WIDENING OF THE ROAD ON OUR PROPERTY.

SO MAYBE WE COULD HAVE SOME INFORMATION FROM STAFF ABOUT WHAT THAT FUTURE WIDENING WOULD LOOK LIKE AS PART OF THE DOWNTOWN PLAN.

THAT MIGHT HELP GIVE US SOME INFORMATION ABOUT.

BEFORE WE DO THAT, APPROXIMATELY WHAT TIMELINE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT FOR CONSTRUCTION HERE.

LIKE, HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE YOU TO BREAK GROUND AND WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO COMPLETE? SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE OTHER PROJECT THAT'S ALMOST COMPLETE AT THREE, FIVE, TWO, TWO. AND AS SOON AS THE BANK CAN BE IF YOU DON'T MIND, COULD YOU STEP FORWARD AND STEP UP TO THE MIC? THANK YOU. SORRY.

WE JUST HAVE. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF RESIDENTS WHO LIKE TO WATCH FROM HOME, AND WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU ON THE RECORDING.

AND REGARDING TO THE CONSTRUCTION, ONCE ICP GET APPROVED, WE NEED TO SUBMIT LIKE STRUCTURAL AND MEP PLANS AND EXPECTING AROUND SIX MONTH TO COMPLETION. THEN WE CAN START CONSTRUCTION. SO MAYBE 18 MONTH CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.

SO FROM TODAY ONWARDS MAYBE WE ARE LOOKING AROUND TWO YEARS.

TWO YEARS OKAY, SO SIX MONTHS BEFORE YOU BREAK GROUND AND THEN 18 MONTHS CONSTRUCTION TIME MINIMUM, RIGHT? YEAH. RIGHT. AND COMPLETE IN APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS. AND REGARDING TO THE CURB IS RIGHT NOW IS A DEAD END.

SO MAYBE WE DESIGN THAT WAY. MAYBE WE CAN GIVE THE ACCESS TO THE PEOPLE DIRECTLY ON THE MAIN STREET INSTEAD OF THE DEAD CURB RIGHT NOW.

SO THAT ONE WAS THE MAIN PURPOSE OF DESIGNING THIS WAY.

VERY GOOD. CAN WE GET SOME INFORMATION FROM STAFF NOW ON WHAT THOSE ROAD ENHANCEMENTS MIGHT LOOK LIKE, IF YOU CAN TAKE A SHOT AT IT? YEP. SO THERE IS A TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT THAT'S ACTUALLY ON THE CORNER OF KIRBY AND SKYLINE. WE DID REQUIRE A 15 FOOT DEDICATION FROM THAT PROPERTY AS WELL.

15 FOOT DEDICATION FROM THIS PROPERTY ON THE END.

ANYTHING THAT WOULD DEVELOP IN BETWEEN THAT WOULD BE REQUESTED, THE SAME SORT OF ADDITIONAL 15FT DEDICATION SO THAT WE WE DON'T EXPECT THIS TO BE A ARTERIAL STREET WITH IT WILL BE A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET WITH A NARROWER STREET AGAIN, JUST A LOCAL ACCESS, NOT A THROUGH STREET. AT ONE POINT, THIS ACTUALLY WAS IDENTIFIED AS A STREET THAT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH, ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF HER FIRST PARK.

GIVEN THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS THAT WE HAVE FOR HER PARK, THAT WOULD NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN NOW.

SO THIS WOULD BE THE TERMINUS OF THE ROAD. BUT THERE ARE PLANS.

AND FOLLOWING THOSE PLANS, WE HAVE BEEN REQUIRING DEDICATIONS ALONG THIS ROAD. SO THAT WOULD BE A TWO LANE, TWO LANE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET FOR THIS DISTANCE.

AS THINGS REDEVELOP IN THAT AREA. THANK YOU. THAT'S HELPFUL.

COUNCIL OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? ACTUALLY, MAYOR, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

SO THINKING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT OUR COLLEAGUES COUNCILMEMBER BOWERS AND GIVES YOU SAID, AS WELL AS A DEPUTY DEPUTY CITY MANAGER BOWER, COULD WE STIPULATE THAT THE WHOLE FIRST FLOOR OF THIS PROPERTY BE USED FOR COMMERCIAL USE?

[02:00:05]

I THINK THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT OF WHETHER THAT'S A VIABLE CONSIDERATION.

WOULD WOULD IT BE VIABLE FOR THE ENTIRE FIRST FLOOR TO BE COMMERCIAL USE WITH PERHAPS SOME ANCILLARY USES, LIKE A MAILROOM OR STAIRWELL. SO IT'S LIKE THIS LIKE A LOT.

IT'S QUITE A DEEP. SO WE ARE JUST CONSIDERING MAYBE FRONT.

MAIN. MAIN STREET FACING CAN BE THE USE ONE LIKE THE BACK SIDE WILL BE VERY CHALLENGING TO LEASE OUT, AS IS A VERY DEEP LOT. SO THAT'S WHY WE DESIGNED IT ON THE MAINLY FACING ON THE FRONT SIDE.

SO YOU THINK THERE WOULD BE CHALLENGES LEASING OUT THE BACK PART OF THE PROPERTY BECAUSE THE DEPTH OF THE LOT. OKAY. OKAY.

SO BASED ON THAT I MEAN WE COULD CERTAINLY STIPULATE THAT AS PART OF THE APPROVAL, BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT IT WOULD BE VIABLE.

OKAY. IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS, ARE THERE OTHER QUESTIONS? SORRY. GO AHEAD PLEASE. SO HOW LARGE ARE THE UNITS? TWO BEDROOM. ONE BEDROOM. YEAH. THAT IS A MIX OF ONE BEDROOM AND TWO BEDROOM.

SIZE IS AROUND. WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SIZE IS. WE'RE ABOUT 800FT², RIGHT? RIGHT. YEAH. SO ONE BEDROOM, 47 ONE BEDROOM, AND 39 TWO BEDROOMS AND TEN STUDIOS AND TEN EFFICIENCY UNITS.

SMALL ONE. CAN I MAKE A COMMENT, PLEASE? NO QUESTIONS.

APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. I THINK THIS IS A FANTASTIC PROJECT.

I'M GOING TO BE IN FAVOR OF THIS. I APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUES QUESTIONS.

ULTIMATELY, IT'S GOING TO BE UP TO THE CITY ENGINEERS, FIRE MARSHALS AND ALL THAT STUFF.

AND WE ALREADY HAVE CODES IN PLACE THAT WILL EITHER THEY CAN FIT IN OR NOT.

SO ULTIMATELY, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT.

THIS FITS IN WITH OUR DOWNTOWN PLAN. ROWLETT HAS A REPUTATION OF HATING MULTIFAMILY FOR GOOD REASON.

BECAUSE BAD MULTIFAMILY IS BAD. BUT THIS IS GOOD.

AND I THINK THIS FITS IN EXACTLY WITH WHAT WE NEED IN DOWNTOWN, AND I'M IN FULL FAVOR OF THIS.

I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS LOOKING DOWN HERE. I THINK IF THIS IS APPROVED, THIS WILL BE A GREAT USE OF THE LAND.

AND AGAIN, FOR OUR DOWNTOWN CORE, WHERE WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE WALKING AND WE WANT TO ATTRACT OTHER RETAIL INVESTMENT.

THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO HAVE BODIES. LIVING DOWNTOWN AND DOWNTOWN IS THE BEST PLACE IN MY OPINION, MY HUMBLE OPINION FOR MULTIFAMILY AND THIS IS A GREAT SIZE DEVELOPMENT.

SO I WILL BE FULL IN FAVOR OF THIS. AND I JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE.

THANK YOU. SO BEFORE WE GET MORE INTO TOO MANY COMMENTS, LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO OUR PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM.

THAT'S OKAY. NOT NOT A NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL. THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

SO WE ARE ON ITEM SEVEN K. IT IS 9:10 P.M. AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO DO WE HAVE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 9:11 P.M. AND MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN L,

[7L. Consider action to adopt an ordinance granting a change in zoning for an approximately 1.801 acre tract situated in the William Crabtree Survey, Abstract 347, City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas and being more commonly known as 4310 Main Street and 4311 Kirby Street from Form Based- Urban Village (FB-UV) to Form Based-Urban Village with a special use permit for multifamily condominium use; approving a landscape plan; approving elevation plans; and approving a site development plan with warrants.]

WHICH IS THE ACTION ITEM FOR ITEM SEVEN K. NOW, COUNSEL, IF THERE ARE COMMENTS THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE OR I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THIS TIME. YEAH. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT. MY QUESTIONS ASIDE, I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN REEVES.

AND PARTICULARLY IN THIS AREA, I MEAN, WE ALL KNOW THIS IS I WOULD CALL SOMEWHAT DISTRESSED AREA.

JUST GENERALLY THE, YOU KNOW, THE THE STREETS ARE BAD, BUT BUT THE ENTIRE AREA THIS IS THIS IS NOT A THIS IS NOT AN AREA OF DOWNTOWN THAT I THINK WE WANT TO PRESERVE, IF YOU WILL. AND THIS TYPE OF, THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT IN THAT PLACE.

FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT ARE MASS TRANSIT REVITALIZING DOWNTOWN, NOT ONLY DOWNTOWN, ALSO WITHIN THE GRIFFITH PARK SYSTEM HERE. SO YEAH, I'VE ALWAYS SAID I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE THAT SAYS NO ALL THE TIME.

WE WE DO NEED TO CHANGE OUR WAY OF THINKING. WE NEED TO.

I MEAN, I THINK THIS FITS. IT DOES HAVE THE RETAIL, WHICH IS A REALLY IMPORTANT COMPONENT.

I'LL HAVE A LIST OF RESTAURANTS HERE THAT WILL BE REQUIRED.

AND I KNOW BUT BUT I THINK THAT I THINK THE RETAIL COMPONENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

I'M GLAD THAT IT DOES FACE MAIN STREET. AND GIVEN THE SITE GIVEN ALL THE ALL OF THE BENEFITS OF IT, IF YOU WILL. I WILL ALSO BE SUPPORTING IT. AND I'LL DEFINITELY ADD TO I MEAN, I THINK YOU HEAR COUNTLESS TIMES FROM RESIDENTS, WE WANT MORE BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS, DOWNTOWN, THINGS WITH PORCHES.

IF YOU CAN FIND ONE THAT HAS A OUTSIDE PORCH, THAT'D BE GREAT.

RESIDENTS WANT THAT. BUT ALSO THE THINGS, AS MAYOR PRO TEM SHUPE SAID, JUST TO FIT IN THE OVERALL COMPLEX OF WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, OUR FIFTH PARK, I BELIEVE THIS IS GREAT. COUNCIL, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

[02:05:09]

A MOTION BY MR. REEVES. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

MOTION TO APPROVE BY MR. REEVES, MR. BOWERS OR MRS. BOWERS. I THINK SORRY, I SECOND THAT MOTION. ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

AND A SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION? I AM ALSO IN SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM.

I THINK THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS AND WE LOOK AT TOWNHOMES, WE LOOK AT CONDOMINIUMS, AND WE LOOK AT THESE MULTI-STORY BUILDINGS.

WHAT THIS BORDERS AND THE SITE PLAN AND THE SITE LAYOUT MAKES COMPLETE SENSE.

WE'VE GOT THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION OVER ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, LOOKING OVER THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

IT'S NOT LOOKING INTO SOMEBODY'S BACK WINDOW OR BACKYARD.

WE'VE GOT THE PARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE AND ALSO BEHIND THE BUILDING.

IT CHECKS THE FORM BASED CODE BOX BY BEING STREET FRONTAGE.

IT'S EXACTLY KIND OF WHAT WE HAD ENVISIONED FOR MAIN STREET WHEN THE MAIN STREET PLAN WAS PUT TOGETHER.

I THINK IT COMPLETELY MAKES SENSE. I THINK IT WILL.

AMENITIES FURTHER AMENITIES OUR DOWNTOWN AREA BY ADDING ANOTHER COMMERCIAL COMPONENT TO IT.

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THIS COME FORTH.

SO IF THERE'S ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. ALL RIGHT, LET'S CALL THE O.

GO AHEAD. YEAH. JUST CHIME IN AT ANY POINT. MY MY CONCERNS ABOUT KIRBY WITHSTANDING, I AGREE WITH THE REST OF COUNCIL.

AND I DID THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE DID TALK ABOUT KIRBY JUST A BIT SO THAT YOU EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD OUR CONCERNS.

BUT I THINK IT'S A FANTASTIC DEVELOPMENT. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT, MOVING THE DOWNTOWN FORWARD.

SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

ITEM SEVEN IS PRESENTED. AND A SECOND ANY OTHER DISCUSSION.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S CALL THE VOTE PLEASE. ALL RIGHT.

THAT ITEM CARRIES BY A VOTE OF 6 TO 1. NEXT WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM SEVEN M ON DOWN THE ALPHABET.
