[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:03]

>> WELCOME TO THE ROWLETT TRYING TOO TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2019. CALLING THE MEETING TO ORDER AT

[CITIZENS' INPUT]

AT THIS TIME, I NUMBER TWO, IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON ANY ITEM WHETHER IT IS ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, OR WHETHER IT IS NOT, I WILL ALLOW YOU THREE MINUTES TO DO THAT. WE ARE NOT HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

IF YOU WOULD RATHER WAIT -- IF YOU ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT AN AGENDA ITEM AND WOULD RATHER DISCUSS IT, THESE ARE PUBLIC HEARINGS TONIGHT. WE WILL BE CALLING THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK ON BOTH ITEMS FOR C AND 4D ON THE AGENDA. IF YOU'D RATHER WAIT UNTIL THAT TIME, THAT IS FINE, TOO. IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON ANY OF THESE PUBLIC HEARINGS, IF YOU WOULD RATHER WAIT UNTIL THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT IS FINE. YOU CAN ALSO SPEAK AT THE CITIZENS INPUT SECTION IF YOU WOULD RATHER DO THAT. AT THIS TIME, IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON THE PUBLIC INPUT SECTION, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. YES, SIR. A FAMILIAR FACE IN OUR CITY.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

>> MIKE POLLARD, 3110 SYCAMORE STREET HERE IN ROWLETT. I DID NOT HEAR YOU CALL AGENDA ITEM 4B, AS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I WILL MAKE MY COMMENTS IN REGARDS TO 4B.

AS MOST OF Y'ALL ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION NO, I WAS A MEMBER OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS YOUR CHAIRMAN, AND YOUR VICE CHAIRMAN.

THIS WAS GOING OFF OF A ZONING CASE. IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN FROM WHERE THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED, IT IS LOCATED IN THE NORTH SHORE AREA, WHICH WAS EXTENSIVELY TALKED ABOUT IN THE PLANNING AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO CITY COUNCIL.

ONE OF THE DISCUSSION ITEMS HEAVILY DISCUSSED AS YOUR CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN CAN ADVISE YOU, IF YOU ASK. THAT IS THE DISCUSSION OF HAVING MORE RESIDENTIAL IN THIS AREA WITHOUT A COMMERCIAL COMING IN WITH IT OR BEFORE IT. ONE OF THE THINGS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN MAKE A COMMENT OR NOT, MAYBE I AM OFF BASE, BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IT IS IN WHAT WAS CONSIDERED TO BE THE ECONOMIC AREA OF OFFICES, AND EMPLOYMENT.

YOU GO STICK RESIDENTS IN THERE, AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO WITH BUSINESSES COMING IN AT AROUND IT. THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO PUT UP WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING, I AM A RESIDENT HERE, WHETHER IT TWO APARTMENT OR WEATHERBY A TOWNHOME -- OR WHETHER IT BE A TOWNHOME. LIGHTS WILL BE SHINING AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

I THINK YOU'LL HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING THAT A BUSINESS WANTS TO COME IN WHEN THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE GOING TO GET A LOT OF COMMUNITY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR THEM TO BUILD AROUND THIS AREA.

I WOULD URGE YOU TO VOTE NO ON THIS ITEM. AGAIN, I REALIZE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ZONING THAT IS ALREADY EXISTING VERSUS THE LAND-USE PLAN.

IT SURE GOES AGAINST THE GRAIN. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

I HAVE TWO CARDS HERE FOR CITIZENS INPUT SECTIONS RIGHT I'M JUST GOING TO CALL, KAREN DONNELLY. IS SHE HERE? STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR

THE RECORD, PLEASE? >> IF YOU DIDN'T GUESS, I AM KAREN DONNELLY, 4600 HICKOX ROAD, ROWLETT, TEXAS. I, TOO, AM SPEAKING ABOUT ITEM NUMBER 4B IN REGARDS -- I REVIEWED THE PRELIMINARY PLAT THAT I DO NOT FEEL IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE USE OF THE NORTH SHORE. IT IS BORDERING THE EXISTING RURAL PROPERTY.

[00:05:01]

IN MY OPINION, IT IS TO HIGH DENSITY ON THAT 11 ACRES, AND I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PRELIMINARY PLAT, I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS LAYS THE FOUNDATION OF HARD TO MOVE FORWARD.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO NOT APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, AND RECONSIDER THE ACTUAL MASTER PLAN THAT YOU ALL WORKED SO HARD ON. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. THE NEXT SPEAKER I HAVE IS MICK DONNELLY.

>> MICK DONNELLY, 4600 HICKOX ROAD. LIKE KAREN HERE, LOOK, I LIKE ALL OF THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE IN THIS WHOLE AREA. I HAVE A CONCERN WHEN I LOOK AT THE PLAT. I'M GOING TO TELL YOU I DON'T UNDERSTAND PLAT, MY CONCERN I THINK IT IS 60 TOWNHOMES AND 100-1 AND 50 APARTMENTS. THAT IS 100 OR 50% MORE, THAT'S A LOT. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DRAWING IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE HAVE THE GREEN SPACE THAT THIS APPLIES FOR. I AM OF THE OPINION IT IS A LIVE, WORK, PLAY ENVIRONMENT. IT'S THE LAST REALLY GREAT PIECE OF PROPERTY OUT THERE.

ONE OF THE CONCERNS I HAVE THAT I READ IN HERE, THERE WAS A REFERENCE TO A BIRD IN A HAND.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT SAYING IS, A BIRD IN ON THE HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH.

LET'S REMEMBER WHO THE BIRD IS, OKAY? WE ARE THE BIRD.

I THINK THAT IS VERY DENSE. I REALLY DO. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE TERRORISTS TOWNHOMES, OR IF THEY ARE GOING -- TERRORISTS -- [INAUDIBLE] WHEN I ZIPPED THROUGH THIS THING, I GO TO THE SHEET, YOU MAY WRITE IT DOWN A LOOK AT IT LATER. I KNOW YOU IF YOU LOOK AT SHEET 317, IT HAS WHAT I THINK IS A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF MAY BE THE INTENTION OF HOW THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO GO, TOO RURAL TO THE MORE INTENSITY AREA, I THINK IT IS REALLY GREAT. TO ME THIS IS THE MOST VALUABLE PICTURE IN THE WHOLE DOCUMENT. THAT IS NOT TAKING AWAY FROM ALL OF THE WORK.

IT IS A GOOD VISUAL TO ASPIRE TO. I REALLY WOULD LIKE YOU GUYS TO TAKE A VERY HARD LOOK AT IT. MY CONCERN IS ONCE YOU AGREE TO A PLAT, YOU JUST APPROVED SOMETHING -- YOU JUST LET SOMEBODY IN THEIR CAR DOOR. HE PUT THEM IN YOUR CAR.

YOU GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO SAME GOING TO COME IN YOUR HOUSE, YOU KNOW? I THINK THE IDEA IS GREAT. NOTHING AGAINST THE IDEA WHATSOEVER.

I THINK IT FALLS IN LINE WITH WHAT WE WANT TO SEE HAPPEN THERE I THINK IT IS JUST VERY DENSE.

I DON'T THINK THAT IS WHAT IT SAYS IN HERE. I WOULD URGE YOU TO SPREAD IT OUT A LITTLE BIT, CUT BACK A LITTLE BIT. BUT ALSO KNOW HOW EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING TO COME AROUND. ONCE YOU PUT IT COULD REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO STOP THAT? A SIMPLE SAYING IS WHO IS THE BIRD? WHO IS THE HAND? I URGE YOU NOT TO COMMIT TO IT. REVISIT IT.

FIND OUT WHAT THE INTENTION IS FOR TOWNHOMES AND HOW MANY APARTMENTS ARE THAT IS A LOT TO GO FROM 100 UP TO 150. THAT IS A BIG JUMP FOR A DEVELOPER.

THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER SPEAKERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON ANY ITEM THAT I DON'T ALREADY HAVE A CARDS FOR.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND, I WILL RECOGNIZE YOU. I WILL POINT OUT -- DID 70 RAISE

THEIR HAND? YES, MA'AM. >> MY NAME IS GERALDINE HUGHES.

I'M ON THE CORNER OF 3600 LIBRA CLAIM, ROWLETT. MY CONCERN IS WITH PART 4D.

ON CHIESA ROAD, IS IT OKAY FOR ME TO GO ON WITH IT? OKAY, THERE HAS BEEN SOME REALLY MISUNDERSTANDING. WE GET NOTICES, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE 20500 FEET, THE LETTERS.

NOTHING IS EVER EXPLAINED, WHAT THEY REALLY WANT TO DO. I ATTENDED THE FIRST MEETING

[00:10:01]

THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WITH THE TRAIL, BIKE TRAIL.

AND A PATHWAY TO THE LAKE, WHICH SOUNDS VERY GOOD. I'M PROMISING TO THE IN THE AREA. THE WORK STARTED, IT STOPPED, IT STARTED AGAIN AND IT STOPPED.

EACH TIME, CHANGES WERE MADE. WERE GOING TO EXTEND THE PROPERTY, WE WANT TO MAKE IT LARGER AND THIS AND THAT. NOW CHANGES FROM SINGLE-FAMILY TO MIXED-USE, MULTIFAMILY, PLUS COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL ON THE END OF THE STREET. AS WE MENTIONED BEFORE, I PERSONALLY DO NOT THINK -- THERE'S TOO MUCH TRAFFIC ALREADY ON THE CORNER.

WHAT KIND OF COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES ARE THEY GOING TO PUT IN THERE RIGHT AT THE END? I DO NOT KNOW. PLEASE CONSIDER, WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE APARTMENT BUILDINGS.

SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, CONDOS, OR WHATEVER YOU CAN PUT IN THERE, EXCEPT MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT BUILDINGS. THE LOT TO ME, THE AREA IS NOT FEASIBLE FOR ALL OF THIS TRAFFIC. WE HAVE APARTMENT BUILDINGS RIGHT ON MILLER, RIGHT ACROSS FROM HARTFORD. THE AREA IS GETTING BAD NOW. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF THE CRIME OR WHATEVER IS GOING ON. WE ARE VERY VERY -- ONE MORE THING I WANT TO ADD IS THAT I KNOW MANY OF THE HOUSES WERE BUILT BACK IN 1999, 1995 IN THE AREA. WE ARE VERY PROUD AND EVEN SINCE THE TORNADO I THINK MANY RESIDENTS HAS UPGRADED THEIR PROPERTY. REBUILD THEIR HOMES AGAIN.

I'M VERY PROUD OF WHAT THEY DO HAVE AND TRIED TO MAKE IT EXIST AND COORDINATE WITH THE 300,000-DOLLAR HOMES WE HAVE RIGHT THERE ON MILLER, THE ONES THAT THEY ARE GETTING READY TO BUILD ON WINDSOR, AND THE ONE IN BETWEEN. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THAT.

WE ARE ASKING YOU, WE JUST DO NOT NEED ANYTHING TO REALLY DEGRADE WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY BUILT, OR ARE TRYING TO BUILD. TOO MUCH TRAFFIC. THE STREET SEEM TO BE REPAIRED.

OTHER THINGS NEED TO BE DONE. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET, WE STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THEY ARE MAKING THIS DRIVEWAY, THAT DRIVEWAY.

THEY STOPPED, HAVE NO IDEA. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM.

ANY OTHER SPEAKERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON ANY ITEM WHETHER IT IS ON THE AGENDA OR NOT. BE ADVISED THERE ARE A PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR THREE OF THE AGENDA ITEMS THAT WE HAVE. TWO OF THE AGENDA ITEMS WE HAVE ON THE SCHEDULE TONIGHT. SEEING NONE. I WILL CLOSE THE CITIZENS AND PUT SECTION AT THIS TIME. MOVING ON TO ITEM THREE WHICH IS A CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

[LAUGHTER] THAT WAS TO SEE IF I'M READING IT OR NOT.

THAT IS FINE, I CAN STAY LIKE IT IS. ANYTHING ELSE.

I'M READY FOR A MOTION. YES, SIR. >> AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE

THE MINUTES. [LAUGHTER] >> WE HAVE A MOTION.

I WOULD HAVE A SECOND. LET'S TAKE THE VOTE.

THAT ITEM CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. UNDER ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION WE HAVE ITEM FOR A WHICH HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL JANUARY 28, 2019. IF FORGOT TO MAKE THAT NOTE.

[4B. Consider and take action on a Preliminary Plat for Merritt Villas Addition. The 11.003 acre site is located north of the intersection of Hickox Road and Merritt Road, City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas. ]

THIS PROPERTY WE ARE HERE TO DISCUSS A PLAT. >> S, MR. CHAIRMAN, I THREW THE SLIDE IN AND ANTICIPATION. WE HAVE BEFORE YOU IS A ZONING MAP OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN THE RED LINE CURRENTLY ZONED FOR AN URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE FORM -BASED URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD DOES ALLOW FOR TOWNHOMES OF MULTIFAMILY.

[00:15:01]

THERE WAS MENTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THAT IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED FOR EMPLOYMENT CENTER THE CURRENT ZONING AS IT STANDS ON THE PROPERTY IS STILL IN PLACE, IT STILL ALLOWS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY AS TOWNHOMES AND MULTIFAMILY.

SHOULD A REZONING OCCUR ON THE PROPERTY THAT HAS A DIFFERENT DESIGNATION, THAT IS WHERE THROUGH THE ZONING, THROUGH THE ZONING ACTION HE WOULD ESSENTIALLY WEIGH IN ON THE APPROPRIATENESS AND THE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

IN THIS CASE THE EXISTING ZONING CAN BE DEVELOPED BY RIGHT WE ARE SIMPLY PLOTTING THE PROPERTY PER THE ZONING. WITH THAT. I WOULD TAKE IT BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS TO CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON A CULINARY PLAT FOR THE MERITT VILLAS ADDITION. AN 118 -- 1100-ACRE SITE AT THE CORNER OF HICKOX AND MERRITT ROAD. THE CURRENT ZONING AS I MENTIONED IS AN URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD, AND AGAIN, THE PURPOSE OF THIS PLAT IS TO CREATE 69 LOTS FOR TOWNHOME AND MIXED RESIDENTIAL USES. A COUPLE OF POINTS HERE, THERE ARE 60 LOTS FOR TOWNHOMES, ONE FOR MIXED RESIDENTIAL USE AND EIGHT LOTS WERE COMMON AREAS AND OPEN SPACE.

I WOULD JUST UP THERE ON THAT. JUST TO SHOW YOU, I KNOW THERE WAS A COMMENT, NOT SEEING OPEN SPACE, I'M GOING TO TRY TO USE THE POINTER HERE IF I CAN. THERE WE GO.

THESE TWO LOTS, THE LOT HERE BEFORE YOU, AND THE THE MIDDLE OF THIS LONG LOT AS WELL AS THIS LOT PROVIDES OPEN SPACE. IT WILL NOW BE DEVELOPED WITH HOUSES OR BUSINESSES OR ANYTHING, IT WILL BE RESERVED FOR OPEN SPACE. THEY ARE MEETING THEIR OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS PER THE ZONING. FIVE NEW ROADS ARE BEING PROPOSED. THE NAME HICKOX ROAD CANNOT BE USED BECAUSE CONTINUATION OF HICKOX ROAD IS USED JUST TO THE NORTHWEST ABOUT 850 FEET DO NORTHWEST.

WE HAD TO KIND CHANGE THE NAME OF THE ROADWAY AT THAT POINT. THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PROJECT WILL INCLUDE 60 TOWNHOMES WERE TOO DEDICATED OPEN SPACES. TOWNHOMES ARE ARRANGED IN BLOCKS OF SIX DWELLING UNITS WITH EASEMENTS ALLOWING FOR PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO OPEN SPACES THROUGHOUT THE SITE. NOT ONE BLOCK A WILL BE THE SECOND PHASE WHICH WILL PROVIDE A MIXED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOP MET WITH AN ESTIMATED 100-150 APARTMENT UNITS ON AN INTERNAL PARKING STRUCTURE.

REAL QUICK. LOT ONE, WHICH IS ALONG MERRITT ROAD.

THAT WILL BE THE MIXED USE LOT. AGAIN, THE OPEN SPACES, AS I MENTIONED MOVING TOWARD THE SITE AS YOU MOVE NORTH, YOU THEN HAVE THE TOWNHOMES DISPERSED ABOUT. THE BLOCKS THAT ARE CREATED PER THE FORM -BASED CODE REQUIREMENTS. WITH THAT, A RECOMMENDATION IS

APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS, QUESTIONS FOR

STAFF ON THE REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT? >> DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE

PLANNED FOR MIXED USE? >> AS FAR AS WHAT? SO, WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING ON DOING IS HAVING A FLEX SPACE ON THE GROUND FLOOR ALONG MERRITT ROAD AND THEN APARTMENTS ON THE BACKSIDE A GARAGE OR A PARKING STRUCTURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK.

APPROXIMATELY 150 UNITS, SOMEWHERE IN THAT RANGE. IT HASN'T BEEN FULLY FLEDGED OUT

YET, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP. >> ANYTHING ELSE? >> JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR, BY RIGHT, THE ZONING IS IN PLACE AND BY THE ZONING WITH WHAT THEY ARE BRINGING IN, THEY CAN BY RIGHT PUT THIS IN WITH OUR APPROVAL. SO BASICALLY IT'S ALREADY SET

THAT IT CAN BE DONE, UNDER THIS ZONING? >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR SO EVERYONE WILL KNOW. >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> THAT IS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY AS WELL. YOU KNOW, WE ARE HERE TO DIVIDE THE PROPERTY TO ASSIGN THE LOTS, TO LOOK AT THE ROAD LAYOUT, THE INITIAL ROAD LAYOUT, AND DRAINAGE ISSUES AND THINGS ALONG WE ARE NOT HERE IN A PLAT STAGE TO DISCUSS THE BUILDINGS, OR

[00:20:06]

THIS IS BY RIGHT, AND I THINK EVERYBODY IS CLEAR ON THAT NOW. SO, IF WE'VE ALL HAD A CHANCE TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE, THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING. I AM READY FOR A MOTION.

COMMISSIONERS? >> I MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE THIS TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

>> IS THERE A SECOND? ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? LET'S TAKE THE VOTE.

THAT ITEM CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM FOUR C.

[4C. Conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation on a request by Rogelio Martinez, Colimas Company, on behalf of the property owner, Carla J. Adams, for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for an accessory building on property zoned Single Family Residential (SF-8) District. The 0.50 acre site is bounded by Dalrock Road, Quail Ridge Drive, and Quail Creek Drive, City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas. ]

ROWLETT, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. >> THANK YOU. >> THIS EVENING WE ARE BEING BROUGHT HERE FOR A REQUEST FOR A 1500 ACCESSORY BUILDING ON A PROPERTY OWNED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SF-8. BECAUSE THIS EXCEEDS 500 SQUARE FEET, THIS IS A REQUIREMENT IN OUR CODE THAT PLANNING AND ZONING THAT THIS MUST BE APPROVED.

TO PROVIDE SOME SITE DATA INFORMATION, THE LOT SIZE IS 21750 SQUARE FEET.

IT HAS EXISTING 2125 SQUARE FOOT RESIDENCE WITH AN ATTACHED GARAGE AND TWO EXISTING ACCESSORY STRUCTURES LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY TOUCHES THREE STREETS WITH 145 FEET OF FRONTAGE ALONG DOWELL ROCK ROAD ALONG CREEK DRIVE.

AND 150 FEET ALONG QUAIL RIDGE DRIVE. AS YOU SEE AT THE TOP THERE, THIS IS YOUR FRONT WHICH IS QUAIL RIDGE DRIVE AND YOUR REAR IS BACK HERE BUTTING THE NEIGHBOR. THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL

DEVELOPMENT AND THE PROPERTY IS ZONED SF-8. >> THE REQUEST IS TO CONSTRUCT THE 1500 SQUARE-FOOT ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AND POTENTIALLY TO HOUSE VEHICLES.

THE STRUCTURE IS 17 FEET AND THIS DOES NOT EXCEED THE BUILDING HEIGHT OF THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING STRUCTURE. THE STRUCTURE IS PROPOSED TO BE SET BACK 5 FEET FROM QUAIL CREEK DRIVE AND 5 FEET ADJACENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL LOT IN THE REAR. THE PROPOSED LOT COVERAGE OF 5558 WILL NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE OF 45%. IT IS 9786 SQUARE FEET WHICH IS& LESS THAN WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING. ON THIS SITE PLAN YOU SEE HERE, THEY ARE PROPOSING A SETBACK OF 5 FEET FROM THE SIDE AND 5 FEET FROM THE REAR AND THE BACK.

THE PROPOSED SETBACK AND LOCATION WILL REQUIRE A VARIANCE FROM THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT DUE TO IT BEING DIVIDED BY THREE STREETS. BUT THOSE TYPE OF LOTS AND REQUIRES THAT THE SURROUNDING AREA WOULD BE SETBACK 25 FEET AROUND THIS AREA.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO INSTALL AN 8-FOOT FENCE ALONG DOWELL ROCK ROAD AND QUAIL CREEK

DRIVE TO BE A BUFFER. >> AS YOU CAN SEE HERE BEFORE YOU THERE ARE SOME SITE PHOTOS OF THE PROPERTY. THIS SHOWS THE FRONT AREA ALONG QUAIL RIDGE, THIS IS THEIR FRONT ENTRANCE, AND THIS IS ALONG QUAIL CREEK WHERE THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED.

ALSO HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS FROM DOWELL ROCK WHICH SHOWS THE HOUSE WITHOUT THE FENCE AT THIS TIME, AND THEN ALSO ON THE REAR YARD SHOWING THE REAR YARD WITH WHAT IS EXISTING TODAY ON THIS PROPOSED PROPERTY. NOTICES WERE SENT OUT TO THE 20. RECEIVED TWO NOTICES, ONE IN FAVOR, BOTH WERE IN FAVOR FOR THE PROPOSED GARAGE. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE SEP BECAUSE ACCESSORY BUILDING WILL NOT HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

[00:25:04]

THIS CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I AM AVAILABLE.

>> DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE A PRESENTATION? >> THEY ALSO DO.

>> COMMISSIONERS DO WE WANT TO HAVE QUESTIONS AFTER THE APPLICANT DOES THERE PRESENTATION? LET'S CALL THE APPLICANT UP AT THIS TIME.

>> THIS IS FOR PROPERTY 8701 QUAIL RIDGE DRIVE. THEY WANT TO PUT UP 1500 SQUARE-FOOT GARAGE SO THEY CAN MOVE ALL OF THEIR CARS INSIDE AND TAKE EVERYTHING OUT AND PUT THEIR, MOTORCYCLE AND ALL OF THE LAWN EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE IN THERE.

ON THIS PICTURE YOU SEE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT IN THERE BUT SOME OF THE STRUCTURES SHE WAS SHOWING, LIKE ON THIS PICTURE RIGHT THERE, THAT RIGHT THERE HAS BEEN ALREADY TAKEN AWAY. IT IS AN OLD DOLLHOUSE OR SOMETHING AND THEY HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT DOWN AND HAULED IT OFF. THE OTHER ONE OVER HERE, THAT ONE IS GOING TO BE MOVED OVER HERE SO THAT WE CAN BUILD THE STRUCTURE OVER ON THAT SIDE OF THE YARD.

THEY JUST WANT TO DO ALL OF THAT LET ME SEE WHAT THIS IS. ONLY YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS.

OH, I WENT TOO FAR. OKAY, RIGHT HERE. THIS IS WHERE THEY WANT TO BUILD THE DETACHED GARAGE OR HERE. THEY'RE GOING TO USE THE EXISTING APPROACH COME IN HERE, AND THE PUT A DRIVEWAY RIGHT HERE THAT LEADS TO THIS, THEY WANT TO PUT DOORS THERE.

THE REASON WE ARE DOING THIS IS BECAUSE 1500 PROPOSED TO PUT IT WITHIN 5 FEET ON THIS TIME, AND THEN PUT THE 8-FOOT FENCE. RIGHT HERE IS AN EXISTING 8-FOOT FENCE AND WE JUST WANT TO TIE THAT INTO THIS ONE AND THE RUTTED ACROSS HERE WITH A DOUBLE WIDE GATE GOING ACROSS.

SO PEOPLE DON'T ACTUALLY SEE THE STRUCTURE BEING BUILT, IT WILL BE BEHIND THE FENCE.

THIS IS WHERE WE ARE MOVING THE STORAGE SHED. BASICALLY, ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS SEE IF THEY CAN GET THIS, BECAUSE IT'S OVER 500 SQUARE-FOOT.

THEY NEED THIS SO THEY CAN PUT ALL THEIR STUFF IN HERE AND GET THIS ONE HERE IN A YEAR, SO THEY CAN MOVE THE GARAGE OVER. PLUS GET EVERYTHING OUT OF THE WEATHER ALL OF THE TIME.

>> IN A YEAR OR SO WHAT WAS THAT. >> IN A YEAR OR SO THEY MAY WANT TO CONVERT THE GARAGE. SO THEY CAN PUT ALL THEIR STUFF IN HERE, THEIR CARS, MOTORCYCLE AND LAWN EQUIPMENT HERE AND DO AWAY WITH THE OTHER SHED THAT THEY HAVE.

MAYBE LATER ON THEY WANT TO CONVERT THIS ONE, THAT'S DOWN THE ROAD.

THAT IS WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THIS DONE, TO GIVE THEMSELVES MORE SQUARE FOOTAGE

IN THE HOUSE. >> IS AT THE END OF YOUR PRESENTATION, SIR? COMMISSIONERS, QUESTIONS FOR STAFF AND THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME? BEFORE WE OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING? DO YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE SAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR, I APPRECIATE IT. WE MAY CALL YOU BACK UP AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AT THIS TIME, WE ARE GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS AGENDA ITEM.

[00:30:04]

I WILL START AT THIS END, MR. WHITTEN. >> THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE, I WAS JUST LOOKING AT A SIDING TO MATCH THE SAME AS THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.

THE BACK OF THE HOUSE IS BRICK. >> IF YOU COULD COME UP FRONT, SIR, YOU ARE SPEAKING SO PEOPLE

CAN HEAR INTO THE MICROPHONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS IN THIS ONE ARE NOT? PROBABLY NOT. IT IS ALL BRICK AROUND THE HOUSE, ON THE BACKSIDE IT IS 312 SIDING. IT IS LIKE A 4-INCH REVEAL, 12 INCHES WITH THREE PIECES OF SIDING ON THERE. I DON'T THINK THE PICTURES ON

THAT. >> ANYWAY, IT'S GOING TO USE THE SAME EXACT SIDING IS THAT TO GO AROUND THE GARAGE STRUCTURE. THIS WAY IT WOULD MATCH WHAT IS EXISTING ON THE HOUSE TO GET WERE NOT TRYING TO CHANGE ANYTHING, JUST MATCH THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE ON

THERE. >> ONE THING YOU HAD STATED IS ON YOUR SIDE YARD SETBACK YOU ARE LOOKING TO DO 5 FEET? AND ON THE REAR YARD SETBACK YOU STATED YOU UNDO 3 FEET.

>> WHEN I LOOKED UP ON THE SF-8, THAT IS WHAT IT HAD IN THERE. >> OKAY.

ON THE SITE PLAN HERE YOU HAVE T IN THE REAR. >> MAYBE IT IS 5 FEET.

I THOUGHT IT WAS 3 FEET. >> SO, IT IS 5 FEET GULF I, I MEAN, IF IT'S 5 FEET, YEAH YOU

ARE RIGHT, FIVE AND FIVE ON THIS. >> HOW TO GO TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE 5 FEET YARD SETBACK, CORRECT? I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.

>> I GUESS MY ONLY CONCERN WAS, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE HAVEN'T HAD THE PUBLIC HEARING YET.

DID WE? WE DID. NOBODY SPOKE.

MY CONCERN WAS, IT'S BEEN A BUSY NIGHT. MY CONCERN WAS WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE NEIGHBOR, YOU KNOW THAT LIVES RIGHT NEXT DOOR THAT'S GOING TO HAVE THIS BUILDING WITHIN 5 FEET RATHER THAN 25 FEET WHICH IS WHAT THE CITY CALLS FOR, I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED DID WE HEAR FROM THE NEIGHBOR OUT ALMOST BADLY? YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS HAS BEEN ADVERTISED, THEY HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK ON IT. WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION TONIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. APPRECIATE IT.

ANYWAY, BECAUSE THAT DOES HAVE TO GO TO BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ANYWAY.

WE CAN GO AHEAD AND TAKE ACTION ON THIS TONIGHT. AT THIS TIME WE ARE READY FOR A MOTION ON THE SCHEDULED USE PERMIT. I'M READY FOR A MOTION.

[INAUDIBLE] WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT. WE'LL HAVE A SECOND? ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? LET'S TAKE THE VOTE.

APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM

[4D. Conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council on a request by John Hammond for a rezoning from Single Family Residential (SF-40) District and Planned Development (PD) District for Single Family (SF-7) and Limited Commercial/Retail (C-l) Uses to a Planned Development (PD) District for mixed-use development with single family, multi-family and retail uses. The 25.426-acre site is located at the northwest corner of Chiesa Road and Miller Road, City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas. ]

THE 25.426 ACRE SITE IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CHIESA ROAD AND MILLER ROAD,

CITY OF ROWLETT, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, COMMISSIONERS,

[00:35:02]

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY BEFORE YOU, IT IS PRIMARILY SF 40, CURRENTLY PHONED SF 40, AND THEN ON THE SOUTH, SORRY THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED PD.

THERE WAS A QUESTION EARLIER AND THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION ABOUT WHERE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED, AND YOU KNOW, WHO IS DEVELOPING WHAT THIS IS NOT THAT PROPERTY THAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER. WHAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER IS CANTERBURY COVE.

THAT PROPERTY IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND TO THE NORTH. THAT IS NOT THIS PROJECT.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF CHIESA ROAD AND MILLER ROAD.

YOU CAN SEE THE SURROUNDING LAND USE PATTERN. WE WILL START N THE NORTH WITH CANTERBURY COVE, AS MENTIONED WHICH HAS SINGLE-FAMILY FAMILY AND TOWNHOMES.

THE CURRENT ZONING ON THAT PROPERTY IS NEW BASE DISTRICT TO THE EAST AND THE NORTH.

YOU HAVE A RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION ON THE CORNER OF MILLER AND CHIESA ROAD AND THEN YOU HAVE THE MINUTES OF THE -- PENINSULA SUBDIVISION WHICH ARE CURRENTLY ZONED PD FOR LIMITED COMMERCIAL SEE DISTRICT. TO THE SOUTH HE HAS SINGLE-FAMILY AND YOU HAVE THE VINEYARDS IN THE HILLCREST ESTATES. CURRENTLY ZONED AS F8, AND LIMITED COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS. TO THE WEST YOU HAVE PADDLE POINT PARK AND RETAIL WHICH IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION WHICH IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR LIMITED COMMERCIAL C1 USES.

WE CONDUCTED OUR COMPATIBILITY ANALYSIS WE FOUND THAT THE EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF MILLER ROAD IS SINGLE-FAMILY AND VACANT COMMERCIALLY ZONED LAND.

DEVELOPMENT ALONG CHIESA ROAD CONTAINS A LOW TO MEDIUM DENSITY SINGLE-FAMILY DEPONENTS PROPERTY PUTTING THE SITE TO THE NORTH IS A FORM -BASED CODE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD AND BEING DEVELOPED WITH A DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ALONG THE LAKEFRONT FLANKED WITH TOWNHOME PRODUCT ON

THE SOUTHEAST. >> WHEN WE DID OUR STUDY OF THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND THE COPPERHEADS A PLANT COULD BE FOUND THAT THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN ON THIS SITE IN THE ACTIVE LIVING DISTRICT PROVIDES FOR VERTICAL INTEGRATION OF LAND USES WITH LOW DENSITY SINGLE-FAMILY ALONG THE LAKE FRONTAGE WITH MEDIUM DENSITY AND RETAIL COMMERCIAL.

YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HERE OUTLINED IN BLACK AND THE BLACK DASHED LINE.

IT TRANSITIONS FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL RETAIL OFFICE USES AT THE CORNER. THE PROPOSED PD IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATIONS. THERE IS A FEW MINOR CHANGES WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT AS WELL. ALTHOUGH THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL IS RECOMMENDED ALONG MILLER ROAD. WHICH IS HERE. THE PROPOSAL IS TO PROVIDE MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT COMPRISING 80 CONDOMINIUM UNITS WITH FIRST LEVEL RETAIL ALONG 600 OR SO FEET OF FRONTAGE ALONG MILLER ROAD. THE INTENT IS TO PROVIDE AMPLE PHYSICAL SEPARATION OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ABUTTING A MAJOR ARTERIAL ROAD.

THE PROPOSED MIXED USE WILL SERVE AS A BUFFER FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THOSE ZONING CATEGORIES AS THEY BREAK DOWN. HE STARTS WITH THE LARGER AS OF 15, SO THE SINGLE-FAMILY CATEGORIES, THEY REFER BASICALLY, I'M SORRY THE MINIMUM LOT SIZES, AS OF 1,515,000 SQUARE-FOOT LOT, AS OF SEVEN WOULD BE A MINIMUM 7000, 5000 AND THEN YOU HAVE THE MIXED-USE COMPONENT ALONG MILLER ROAD AND THE C1 AT THE CORNER OF MILLER AND CHIESA ROAD. ATTACHED HERE IS THE LANDSCAPING PLAN.

THE LANDSCAPING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE DISTRICTS.

THE APPLICANT IS JUST PROVIDING THOSE. THERE IS ONE MINOR CHANGE WHICH WOULD BE ALONG THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION HERE. BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL TO THE NORTH, OR THE C1 TO THE SOUTH, THEY ARE PROPOSING NOT TO DO THEM MASONARY WALL HERE. THEY ARE STILL PROPOSING TO DO THE LANDSCAPE SCREENING AS WELL AS TREES. AND THEN NOT REFLECTED ON THIS PLAN, THERE IS A PROPOSED LANDSCAPE SCREENING ALONG THE TRAIL, AND ALONG THE RAILROAD LINE HERE.

THIS IS IN YOUR PACKET ALREADY. JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE THIS TABLE TO YOU.

WE CAN SEE, IT IS BROKEN DOWN IN COLUMN BY THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.

AND THE PROPOSED IS INDICATED HERE IN RED. 75% DOWN TO 55%, SO LESS ON THAT

[00:40:13]

PROPOSING TO INSTALL A SCARY WALL WITH REQUIRED HEAVY BUFFER ALONG THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS ADJACENT TO THE RAILROAD. REQUESTING A DOUBLE FRONTAGE TO CAPTURE THE VIEW CORRIDORS.

NOT ENVISIONING THIS WILL BE AN ADVERSE IMPACT IMPOSED BY THE RESIDENTIAL MIXED-USE MULTI FAMILY RETAIL DEVELOPMENT. ADEQUATE SEPARATION BETWEEN DENSITIES HAS BEEN ACCOMMODATED AS DEPICTED IN THE CONCEPT PLAN. WHEN WE LOOKED AT TRAFFIC, THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS GOING ON HERE. CURRENT TRAFFIC VOLUMES RELATED TO THE RECONSTRUCTION OF MILLER ROAD FROM CHIESA ROAD AND DEL, RECONSTRUCTION FROM CHIESA ROAD FOR MILLER TO DEL ROCK HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED FOR THE FISCAL 2019 COMMUNITY INVESTMENT BOND PACKAGE THAT WAS AUTHORIZED LAST YEAR. DESIGN OF THE MILLER ROADWAY PROJECT IS COMPLETE.

THE MILLER ROAD/CHIESA ROAD INTERSECTION PAVING A NEW TRAFFIC SIGNALS ARE INCLUDED IN CONSTRUCTION IS LIKELY TO BEGIN IN EARLY 2020. THE CHIESA ROAD PROJECT IS FUNDED FOR DESIGN THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2020. CONSTRUCTION IS NOT FUNDED UNTIL AT LEAST FISCAL YEAR 2021. SHOULD THE REQUEST BE APPROVED THE APPLICANT WILL BE REQUIRED, AT THAT TIME, TO CONDUCT A FULL TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT ON THE CITY'S ROADWAY NETWORK AT THE TIME OF SITE PLAN REVIEW. SPECIAL ATTENTION WILL BE DEVOTED TO THE SAFETY AND VIABILITY OF THE PROPOSED ACCESS POINTS ON BOTH MILLER ROAD AND CHIESA ROAD.

WHEN WE LOOK AT SITE CIRCULATION, A NETWORK OF ROADWAY ACCESS POINTS ARE IDENTIFIED THAT CONNECT TO THE SITE THROUGH THE CANTERBURY COVE DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTHEAST AND OUT TO THE ADJACENT SOUTHEAST MILLER AND CHIESA ROAD. ON MILLER ROAD YOU HAVE CONNECTION., AND ON CHIESA ROAD YOU HAVE ONE CONNECTION POINT AT ONE CONNECTION POINT TO THE CANTERBURY COVE. VEHICULAR CONDUCTIVITY AT THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT TWO CANTERBURY COVE IS POSSIBLE, AND WOULD BE IDEAL TO CONNECT TO THAT STUB OUT THERE.

PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION IS PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THE SITE, AND ALSO ALONG LAKE RAY HUBBARD.

THIS IS DOES CONNECT TO THE CANTERBURY COVE TRAIL WHICH WOULD EXTEND UP ALONG THE LAKE.

AS FAR AS WATER AND WASTEWATER, UTILITIES ARE PRESENT IN BOTH MILLER ROAD AND CHIESA ROAD AND ARE AVAILABLE TO SERVE THE PROPOSED PROJECT. IT WILL INCLUDE UPGRADES TO THE EXISTING WATER UTILITIES INCLUDING A NEW 12-INCH WATER MAIN FROM THE RAILROAD CROSSING TO AUBURN DRIVE. THE APPLICANT WILL BE REQUIRED TO DETERMINE THE WATER AND WASTEWATER DEMAND FOR THE PROJECT AND ASSESS THE IMPACT TO THE CITY'S WATER AND WASTEWATER NETWORK CAPACITY. WITH THAT, WE SENT NOTICES ON OCTOBER 28 AND HAVE RECEIVED TWO IN FAVOR FROM THE 200-FOOT RANGE AND ONE IN FAVOR FROM THE 500-FOOT RANGE, AT THIS TIME.

OUR RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF THE ZONING REQUEST FOR A PLAN TO VELMA DISTRICT FROM SINGLE-FAMILY, MULTI FAMILY RETAIL USES. THE PROPOSED AVAILMENT IS

COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. >> DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE A PRESENTATION, AS WELL? COMMISSIONERS DO WE WANT TO WAIT AND CATCH THEM BOTH AT ONE TIME?

WE ARE READY FOR THE APPLICANT TO MAKE THE PRESENTATION. >> GOOD EVENING.

I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST SEE IF ANYBODY -- I'M SORRY, I'M 5709 BEDROCK DRIVE, MCKINNEY, TEXAS.

I WOULD LIKE TO START UP TO SEE IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS? YOU DO YOUR PRESENTATION ON WE

WILL ASK YOU QUESTIONS. >> SOUNDS GOOD. SO AS DANIEL STATED WE ARE ON

[00:45:17]

WE ARE AT A MAJOR ECONOMIC GATEWAY WHERE I AM SURE PRETTY MUCH ALL OF YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S ANY TRAFFIC ON CYPRUS 30, MILLER BECOMES THE BYPASS FOR ANY TRAFFIC IN THE MORNING OR THE AFTERNOON FOR ANY KIND OF MOVEMENT OF TRAFFIC. IT IS A CONSUMER MARKET FOR ANY KIND OF PASSERBY IN THE AREA. CREATING A REALLY GOOD INFLUX OF NEW CONSUMERS FOR THIS AREA, AND

ALSO A MARKET FOR THE COMMUNITY. >> SPEAK UP. >> I'M SORRY.

I WAS SAYING, YOU HAVE MILLER ROAD BECOMING A BYPASS AREA FOR CYPRUS 30 IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. OUR SITE WOULD BECOME A GOOD CONSUMER AREA FOR THOSE PEOPLE.

CURRENTLY THIS AREA IS UNDERDEVELOPED FOR PRIVATE PUBLIC CORRIDOR, AS THIS IS A MAJOR GATEWAY CORRIDOR FOR MILLER AND CHIESA IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT AS A WHOLE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP THAT I HAVE HERE. EVERYTHING THAT IS SHOWN IN LIGHT BLUE IS YOUR CURRENT RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY SQUARE FOOTAGE.

THE YELLOW AREA IS OUR SITE, AND THOSE TINY WHITE AREAS ARE A REPRESENTATION OF OUR COMMERCIAL AND MIXED-USE SQUARE FOOTAGE. WE WOULD BE PROVIDING A CENTRALIZED PARK LOCATION THAT WOULD EXTEND WHAT WE ARE TO HAVE IN PLACE HERE IN ROWLETT. EXPANDING THE TRAIL SYSTEM AND HOPING TO COMPLETE THAT ONE DAY WITH WHAT WE ARE PUTTING IN. WE ARE CREATING A SPREAD OUT TAX TO BASE BY COMMERCIAL FOOTPRINT, REDUCING THE TAX VOLUME ON THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THIS AREA.

PROVIDING A CENTRALIZED LOCATION IN THE COMMUNITY. THE PEDESTRIAN TRAIL AMENITIES, WE WILL BE FINISHING OUT FOR THIS PART OF THE CITY, AS WELL. YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE A CONNECTION POINT. ALSO THE AREA WILL BE A MUCH SAFER AREA TO TRAVEL FOR PEOPLE, BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE MUCH MORE IMPROVED ROADWAY STREETSCAPE BOTH DAY AND NIGHT FOR PEOPLE TRAVELING MAYBE TO SCHOOL. I SEE THE FAMILIES GOING THROUGH THE SCHOOL DOWN THERE, THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO WALK, THERE IS SIDEWALKS. THIS IMPROVEMENT WILL HELP WITH THAT AS WELL. ALSO A BIG THING WE HAVE DONE IS PROVIDED SOME OUTREACH FOR BOTH COMMUNITIES LIKE THE CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET. THIS IS JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE SITE PLAN AS A WHOLE. AND THEN OUR SF 15, WE HAVE A 13 LOCATIONS HERE WHICH YOU WILL NOTICE, I'M SORRY -- HOW DOES THE POINTER WORK ON HERE? THIS LOT RIGHT HERE, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY DEVELOPERS YOU HAVE COME IN HERE, ACTUALLY COME IN AND BUILD ON THE SITES AND THEN SAY THEY WANT TO LIVE HERE, BUT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY APPEAR IS MR. JOHN HAMMOND'S SITE. HE'S NOT JUST A DEVELOPER, HE'S ACTUALLY SOMEONE WHO'S GOING TO COME, LIVE, BECOME PART OF THE CITY AND WANTS TO BECOME A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, AND LIVE ON THE SITE. YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY COMING IN BUILDING A SITE COME HERE AND LEAVE. HE IS COMING TO PUT HIS SELF DOWN HERE AND BECOME A PART OF THE CITY AND TO HELP MAKE SOMETHING OF THIS AREA THAT HE IS ALSO INVESTING HIS TIME INTO.

THAT IS WHAT THAT LARGE PIECES HERE. WE HAVE 40 TOTAL SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES HERE AS WELL. AND THEN WE HAVE CENTRALIZED PARKS THAT CREATE REALLY GOOD BUFFER ZONES BETWEEN THE MIXED-USE AREA HERE AT THE BOTTOM.

[00:50:01]

BUT THEN WE HOPE TO HAVE THEM FOR SALE ITEMS WHERE PEOPLE CAN HAVE LONG-TERM FOR CONDO USES RIGHT HERE IN THI AREA. I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE MISCONSTRUED AS WELL.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE LOWER LEVEL HERE, WHICH GIVES YOU ABOUT 80,000 SQUARE-FOOT OF COMMERCIAL AND ON THE END DOWN HERE WE HAVE A CROSSING ALREADY AT 6000 SQUARE FEET OF THAT REALLY GOOD PROGRAM HE HAS FOR THE KIDS THAT HE WORKS WITH DOWN HERE ON THE END OF THIS STRUCTURE RIGHT HERE. THIS IS JUST KIND OF A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE BUILDINGS, THE FORM PER SE, THE BUILDINGS WOULD LOOK LIKE. WE WOULD DO MORE OF A LINEAR STRUCTURE, MORE OF A MODERN FEEL TO THE BUILDINGS THAT WOULD BE OUT THERE.

OF COURSE, DON'T TAKE ANYTHING TO THE COLOR. THIS WAS JUST TO SHOW A SPACE AND FORM. WE WANT SOMETHING TO BE MORE FRIENDLY TO PEOPLE USING OUTDOOR SPACE AND BEING ABLE TO MOVE ABOUT OUTDOORS OF THEIR PATIOS BACK AND FORTH, AND ALSO TO BE OUT IN AN OVERVIEW OF THE STREETSCAPE. ALSO PROVIDED A SMALLER PICTURE DOWN HERE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE JUST TO SHOW IT THAT EVENTUALLY WILL BECOME, A REAL NICE MIXED-USE FEATURE THAT THIS AREA COULD BECOME BASED ON A LITTLE DEEPER DIVE INTO THE IDEA.

THAT IS IT. >> OKAY. THANK YOU.

QUESTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPER OR STAFF? I WILL START AT THIS END.

>> A COUPLE OF THINGS. WHAT IS THE FUTURE LOOK AS FAR AS THE COMMERCIAL SECTION THERE ON THE CORNER. WHEN YOU SAY FUTURE LOOK, WHAT YOU MEAN?

>> WHAT IS IN THE COMMERCIAL SECTION, RIGHT ON THE CORNER. IT'S AN OPEN COMMERCIAL USE FOR LEASE. IT WILL BE WHOEVER COMES IN TO LEASE IT OUT, IT WILL BE TO FINISH OFFICE SPACES. IT WILL BE VENUE SPACES, IT WILL BE DIFFERENT LEASE AREAS, I THINK IT'S LIKE 25,000 SQUARE FEET. IT'S JUST A LARGE USABLE SPACE WHERE YOU CAN CONDUCT PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING YOU WANT IT TO. IT'S GOING TO BE AN ALMOST TWO-STORY HEIGHT BUT A SINGLE STORY BUILDING. IT WILL BE HIGH CEILINGS AND PEOPLE CAN USE IT FOR MORE OF A HIGHER SCALE FINISH OUT TYPE OF RETAIL SPACE.

>> THE MIXED-USE IS ONE TERM YES, MULTI FAMILY IS ANOTHER TERM.

A LOT OF THE CITIZENS HAVE BEEN PRETTY VOCAL ABOUT MULTI FAMILY ARE MIXED-USE IN THIS CASE, IT DOES SEEM LIKE ONE OF THE SAME. HOW MANY UNITS ARE WE LOOKING AT.

WERE RENTING THOSE AS OPPOSED TO, AND THEN WE HOPE TO TURN THOSE INTO SELLING INTO CONDOMINIUMS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN, WE DO NOT KNOW THAT. HOW MANY UNITS ARE WE TALKING

ABOUT AND WHAT KIND OF PARKING IMPACT ARE YOU SEEING? >> I UNDERSTAND THAT.

DANIEL SAID 80 EARLIER, I THINK THE REAL NUMBER IS 70 UNITS TOTAL OF WHAT WE HAVE IN THERE.

IT REALLY IS OUR INTENT TO HAVE THAT. OUR DESIGN PROCESS IS NOT TO DESIGN. WE DON'T DESIGN THINGS THAT ARE TYPICAL APARTMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE LIKE, YOU KNOW, CURB APPEAL AND THEN YOU GO INSIDE AND IT'S GOING TO BE A DORM ROOM. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. WE DESIGN THINGS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GO IN AND PEOPLE WANT TO BE THERE AND STAY THERE, AND BE IN THOSE PLACES BECAUSE WE BELIEVE DESIGN MATTERS AND DESIGNS OF THESE PLACES MATTER. WE WANT PEOPLE TO LIVE AND CALL THEM HOME AND BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU KEEP PEOPLE IN A COMMUNITY IS MAKE THEM WANT TO STAY IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE A REASON TO BE THERE.

[00:55:01]

HOW YOU DO THAT. >> THAT IS THE GOAL ON THE FIRST FLOOR

>> RIGHT. THOSE UPPER FLOORS, THOSE GUYS ARE REALLY THERE TO PUSH THE LOWER FLOORS TO HAVE DIRECT CONSUMER ACCESS. THAT IS WHAT YOU GETTING YOU GIVE VERY LOW TO MEDIUM DENSITY CONDO LOFT STYLE USE, THAT IS NOT MULTI FAMILY.

MOST PEOPLE THINK OF MULTI FAMILY IT IS JUST BLOCKS AND BLOCKS OF BUILDINGS.

WE ARE TRYING TO USE VERTICAL SPACE TO GET SOME DIRECT CONSUMER ACCESS TO HELP PUSH COMMERCIAL RETAIL SPACE SO THAT THEY HAVE A REAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE SPACE IS USED.

>> THANK YOU. >> WE HAVEN'T CLEARLY DEFINED THE EXACT PHASING.

I AM PRETTY SURE WE WILL DO THE CORNER AND THEN TO THE MULTI USE, AND THEN BACK INTO THE SMALLER DEVELOPMENT HOUSING AND THEN TO THE LARGER DEVELOPMENT HOUSING.

IF I WERE JUST TO BE OFF-THE-CUFF. >> HAVE ASKED FOR A COUPLE OF CHANGES TO THE STANDARDS HERE. YOU WANT TO GO FROM 30 FEET DOWN TO 20 FEET ANY PARTICULAR REASON

WHY? >> GIVE MORE ALLOWABLE USE OF THE SPACE OF THE LAND.

IT IS NOT REALLY TO CREATE A FOOTPRINT THAT IS GOING TO USE MORE LAND, BUT THE ABILITY TO UTILIZE THE LAND MORE EFFECTIVELY IF YOU WANT TO CREATE A FORM THAT UTILIZES SPACE MORE EFFECTIVELY ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. IT GIVES YOU A BETTER FOOTPRINT

TO DO IT IN. >> THAT IS THE REASON WHY YOU WANT TO GO MAC'S LOT COVERAGE

FROM 45-55. >> I MEAN, THEY ARE SMALL LOTS AS IT IS.

THE DRAINAGE YOU ARE GOING TO GET. YOU ARE MOSTLY CONCERNED WITH THE BECAUSE THEY RUN OFF A NEW DRAINAGE. WHEN WE CALCULATE THAT IN OUR DETERMINATION OF HOW THOSE ARE GOING TO BE BUILT, DURING SITE BUILD UP AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. THEY WERE SF-40. CHIESA ROAD NOW NOT FOLLOWING.

-- I AM NOT FOLLOWING. >> THEY ARE REALLY NOT 15'S, THEY ARE GOING TO BE 14.

FOURTEEN IS NOT A SMALL. I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE S OF SEVEN LOT.

THE LARGEST LOT ON YOUR CONCEPT PLAN AND HAD A QUESTION ABOUT WHY CHANGING IT FROM 15-14.

IT'S REALLY JUST TO GET LOTS THAT WORKED CORRECTLY WITHIN THE SPACE.

THAT IS REALLY THE ONLY REASON FOR THE LOT SIZES. WE HAD THE LOT WITH THE DIFFERENT ZONING. WE HAD DISCUSSION WITH HIS. WE DECIDED TO GO TO THAT NUMBER.

WE WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH STAFF TO GET TO THE CURRENT SITUATION WE ARE OUT AND MAKE

THE NUMBERS WORK CORRECTLY. >> ANYTHING ELSE? >> NOT AT THIS TIME.

>> QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR THE DEVELOPER? >> I HAVE ONE LIKE JOHN, WITH REGARDS TO PHASING IN WHAT SECTION YOU'RE GOING TO DO FIRST WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU PEEL TOO MUCH OF THE FRONT, IS THERE MORE TRAFFIC. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THAT REALLY WORKS. IF YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP THE TRAFFIC LOWER UNTIL ALL OF THE

ROADS ARE COMPLETE? >> I THINK IF YOU DO MORE OF YOUR FRONTAGE, HERE ARE NOT GOING TO AFFECT THE TRAFFIC AS MUCH. THE TRAFFIC WILL BE USING MORE OF THE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL. YOU WILL NOT BE ADDING MORE RESIDENTIAL MOVEMENT ONTO THE ROAD. WE WILL BE BUILDING MORE HOUSES FIRST, WE WILL BE BUILDING MORE

[01:00:04]

>> ANYTHING ELSE? QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OF THE DEVELOPER?

>> I LIKE THE BIG LOTS DOWN BY THE WATER. I AM CURIOUS BECAUSE I LIVE KIND OF NEAR THERE. WHEN YOU THINK WILL GO IN THIS COMMERCIAL SITE, UNDER THE TOWNHOME AREAS? I AM CONFUSED ABOUT THAT CORNER PIECE.

A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO RENT FOR WEDDINGS, OR YOU KNOW, IS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO SAY IT WILL BE USED FOR? ON THE OTHER COMMERCIAL PIECES DO YOU SEE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS GOING IN THERE? WHAT YOU ALL IMAGINE, OR HAVE YOU HAD ANY PEOPLE APPROACH YOU?

>> THAT COMES INTO THE PREVIOUS IDEA. TO GET INTO MORE OF A DESIGN PHASE WHERE WE ARE ACTUALLY DESIGNING THOSE SPOTS, AND HAVING THE ABILITY SHELL OUT.

INSURANCE AGENTS OR SOMETHING. I DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE TO SEE RESTAURANTS IN THERE.

DEFINITELY GET RESTAURANTS IN THERE FOR SURE. PLENTY OF TRAFFIC FOR THAT, I WAS TOLD BY SOMEBODY ON STAFF THAT THEY WOULD LOVE TO SEE A COFFEE SHOP BECAUSE THEY TURNED THEIR ALL THE TIME. THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A COFFEE SHOP WHICH WOULD BE GREAT.

I DO THINK THAT CENTRAL AREA, WHEN WE TALK TO THE CHURCH, THEY KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT GO OUT OF TOWN A LOT FOR VENUE LOCATIONS. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THEY'VE DONE NOW. IT'S BEEN A WHILE. THEY DO SOME BENEFIT WORK TO

HELP THEM DO. >> I DON'T KNOW IF HERE IN ROWLETT IF WE HAVE A VENUE TYPE

PLACE. >> THERE IS NOT ANYTHING LIKE THAT HERE.

>> LET ME INTERJECT FOR A MINUTE, STAFF HAS A COMMENT ABOUT THE USES FOR THE PROPOSED

PROJECT. >> THANK YOU. THE PLAN DISTRICT IS ACCOMMODATING THE USES REFERENCED IN THIS C1 DISTRICT. IT WOULD BE THOSE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED TO IN THE C1 DISTRICT. ANY USES WITHIN THE C1 DISTRICT THAT FURTHER REQUIRE APPROVAL OF THE SPECIFIC USE PERMITS, THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO SEE IF THOSE USES WOULD BE APPROVED. IN TERMS OF THE SCHEDULE A PERMITTED USES WOULD BE STRICTLY

RELATED OF WHAT IS REFERENCED IN THE C1 DISTRICT. >> AM GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.

WHEN I'M READING ON HERE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CORRECT. >> THANK YOU.

WE WILL LET STAFF, WE CAN DO THAT AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> I'M LOOKING AT OR USES

ALLOWED BY SHEEP HE IS A TATTOO PARLOR, PERMANENT COSMETICS. >> THAT IS BY SEP.

THEY WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER HEARING TO HAVE THAT APPROVED. >> THE WAY IT IS WORKING IS THAT THEY ARE REFERRING TO THE C1 DISTRICT, STRAIGHT ZONING, ALL OF THE ALLOWED USES IN THE C1 ZONING ALLOWED BY RIGHT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE IN THIS INSTANCE. THERE ALSO DETAILING A FEW EXTRA USES THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED VIA A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. THE USES THAT WERE LISTED IN THAT DISTRICT SPECIFIC TO C1 ARE ALREADY LISTED IN THE C1 DISTRICT FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS. THEY ARE FURTHER HIGHLIGHTING THOSE.

REALLY IT JUST REFERS BACK TO OUR USE TABLE IN THE ROWLETT DEVELOPMENT.

[01:05:03]

>> OKAY. THAT IS WHAT WAS CONFUSING TO ME, WHY THESE WERE LISTED ON

HERE? THEY ARE ALLOWED UNDER C1. >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> NOT THE ZONING, IF WE WERE TO APPROVE THIS TONIGHT THAT IS NOT SPECIFICALLY SAYING THAT A TATTOO PARLOR WILL GO IN THERE. IT IS SAYING IF HE WANTS TO PUT ONE IN, IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME

BACK AND DO A SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST? >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> THAT IS LISTED UNDER THE COMMERCIAL RETAIL DISTRICT AND ALSO UNDER THE MIXED USED WATERFRONT DISTRICT. THAT WOULD BE BOTH AT CORNER BUILDING, AND THE BUILDINGS THAT

ARE ALONG MILLER ROAD. OKAY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS

TIME? >> THE ONE THING I DID HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WAS ON THE -- DANIEL BROUGHT UP, ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT ON, I BELIEVE IT IS THE NORTH ENTRANCE OFF CHIESA ROAD. THE LANDSCAPING, JUST TO THE

SOUTH, IS NOT GOING TO BE A MASONRY WALL? >> IT WILL BE A LIVING SCREEN.

WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT NOT CONTINUING THE MASONRY WALL THERE AND UTILIZING A LIVING

SCREEN. >> IS AT A WROUGHT IRON FENCE? >> NO, IT IS JUST A LIVING SCREEN. IT IS A HEDGEROW AND TREES. NO WALL AND NO GATE.

THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE CANTERBURY COVE DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH IS FORM -BASED CODE.

INSTEAD OF BACKING OR SIDING TO CHIESA ROAD THEY FRONT ON CHIESA ROAD AND THERE IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE, YOU KNOW, THE RESIDENTIAL THAT IT IS GOING TO TRANSITION TO SINCE IT'S JUST HALF A BLOCK. WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OUT OF PLACE TO JUST HAVE A HALF A BLOCK OF A WALL AND THEN BACKED TO IT WHEN YOU GET TO COMMERCIAL THAT WALL IS NOT REQUIRED. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE COMMERCIAL TO THE SOUTH.

BASICALLY THIS LAW THAT IS RIGHT HERE NEXT TO THE ROAD, THE, WHATEVER RUNS DOWN THE SIDE RIGHT THERE, THAT IS GOING TO BE UP TO THE HOMEOWNER WHETHER THEY PUT A FENCE UP, OR NOT? OR WHAT KIND OF FENCE THEY PUT UP? I MEAN, IT COULD BE ANYTHING.

THERE WILL BE SOME TYPE OF LANDSCAPE, MASONRY, NOT MASONRY, BUT A LANDSCAPE -- HE, A BUFFER THERE, OR SCREEN, BUT BEHIND THAT IT IS UP TO THAT HOMEOWNER ON WHATEVER WANT TO THROW UP?

>> THE HOMEOWNER WILL ALREADY HAVE A FENCE. THERE IS ALSO AN ALLEY THAT SEPARATES THE HOMEOWNER FROM THE BUFFER AREA. THERE WILL BE AN ALLEY BETWEEN THE TWO, AS WELL. THE HOMEOWNER, HIS FENCING, THE ALLEY, THEN THE BUFFER AREA ON

THE SIDEWALK BETWEEN THOSE TWO. THERE WILL BE A LARGE BUFFER. >> OKAY.

>> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. I MAY HAVE YOU COME BACK UP.

AT THIS TIME, WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS AGENDA ITEM.

I HAVE TWO SPEAKERS CARDS HERE. ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON THE SUBJECT, WE WILL HAVE TIME TO DO THAT. THE FIRST SPEAKER I HAVE IS

STANLEY POLLARD. >> STANLEY POLLARD, 3110 SYCAMORE STREET.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, I WAS ON THE RECENT STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

I FAILED AND REMARKED THAT I MADE EARLIER ABOUT ONE OF THE REASONS TO DO A COMP PLAN.

IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, YOU SHOULD DO THE REZONING IS BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU HAD IN A PREVIOUS DEAL. THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT ON THIS ONE.

I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND HOW STAFF CAME UP WITH THIS MEETS THE CONFERENCE A PLAN? THE COMPANY HAS A PLAN, LET ME BACK UP FOR A SECOND, UNDER THE TITLE IT MENTIONS THAT THIS WILL

[01:10:05]

SO THE MULTI COMPONENT OF THIS DOES NOT MEET WHAT WAS DISCUSSED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE. IT WAS LAID OUT .-DOT THE YELLOW PARTS WOULD BE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, MUCH LIKE CANTERBURY COVE. IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THE YELLOW PORTION OF THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE TOWNHOMES, WHICH IS SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

AND THEN RETAIL. I'M NOT SURE HOW IN THE WORLD THAT THIS ADDS UP TO THAT.

NUMBER TWO, YOU HAVE POTENTIALLY 70 UNITS THAT THE APPLICANT SAYS, WELL, WE HOPE TO SELL THE APARTMENTS AT SOME TIME. THE ROADWAY. MY UNDERSTANDING, SOMEBODY CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, CHIESA, FROM MILLER ROAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DOWELL ROCK SOUTH WILL BE WIDENED. MILLER ROAD FROM CHIESA EASTWARD , TO DOWELL ROCK WILL BE WIDENED. MILLER FROM CHIESA WEST WILL NOT BE WIDENED.

I DON'T KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO WIN, DOWN ROAD IT WILL EVER HAPPEN? CHIESA NORTH OF MILLER, ALONG THE SECTION OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT SCHEDULED TO BE WIDENED ANY TIME THAT I KNOW OF OR HAVE EVER HEARD OF. THE APPLICANT COULD HAVE PUT IN THERE THAT THEY WOULD WIDEN DOWN ACROSS OUR PROPERTY LINE, GLIDING THE ROADWAYS.

BUT THEY DIDN'T. I DON'T SEE THAT THERE IS ANY MENTION THAT THEY WILL PUT ANYTHING IN THERE. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE ORDINANCE, AS I UNDERSTAND, I HAVE TALKED TO STAFF EARLIER. WHEN YOU DO YOUR TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, FOR THIS, IF YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN THE ZONING CHANGE, IT IS TOO LATE. IF THEY DECIDE, HEY, I'M JUST GOING TO THROW MONEY INTO A FUND , BUT NOT WIDEN THE ROAD, WHO KNOWS WHEN THAT ROAD WILL

EVER BE WIDENED. >> YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED. >> THANK YOU.

>> THE NEXT SPEAKER I HAVE IS MICHAEL FORESEE. >> MY NAME IS MICHAEL FORESEE, I AM AT 6709 BARLOW DRIVE, WHICH IS KIND OF ACROSS THE STREET AND FURTHER WEST OFF OF MILLER

THERE. >> FIRST OF ALL I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION BY STAFF.

I'M GOING TO ACCEPT THE CONFIDENT ENGINEERS AND PROFESSIONALS WILL STUDY THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRAFFIC NEEDS. I KNOW THAT MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE DURING THE COMMUTE TIMES, IT IS VERY CHALLENGING GOING OUT LIKE 5:00 O'CLOCK, 7:00 O'CLOCK, GOING EASTBOUND ON MILLER DURING THAT SECTION. HE CAN TAKE YOU FIVE MINUTES TO GET ACROSS THE LAKE THERE. NOT QUITE AS BAD IN THE MORNING, BUT STILL A CONCERN.

I KNOW THAT DEVELOPERS FEES WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, I THINK UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO ME IS THE ROADWAY CONDITION. OFTEN TIMES THERE ARE REPAIRS THAT ARE NEEDED, JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.

WHITENING MILLER, AT THAT SECTION THERE, WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT AND OF INTEREST TO ME.

IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE PLAN .-DOT THERE SHOULD ONLY BE RIGHT TURN ONLY, OUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT ONTO WESTBOUND MILLER, OR THERE IS A DIVIDED ROADWAY.

ESPECIALLY NEED TO WIDEN MILLER. I HAVE A COMMENT ON THE LANDSCAPING.

I HAVE NOTICED A IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CITY WHERE LANDSCAPING MEDIANS HAVE BEEN PUT IN. IT HAS ACTUALLY MADE THE VISIBILITY OF MAKING TURNS UP

WHAT >> I DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE SPEAKERS CARDS ON THIS AGENDA

[01:15:01]

I WAS START OVER HERE IN THE CORNER. YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME, AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, SIR. I CAN'T SEE THE TIMER ON HERE. I AM WATCHING HERE FOR THREE

MINUTES AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE HIGH SIGN. >> MY NAME IS JOHN HAMMOND.

I LIVE AT 6545 GROUND FOREST DRIVE, PLANO, TEXAS. I HAVE BEEN HERE A FEW TIMES BEFORE IN THE HEARINGS. I'VE NEVER SPOKE. DIDN'T PLAN ON SPEAKING TODAY EITHER. EARLIER WHEN YOU ARE ASKING SAM LAWRENCE, MY ARCHITECT SOME QUESTIONS, I FELT THAT SOME OF THOSE ANSWERS ARE NOT AS CLEAR AS IT MAY BE I CAN COME HERE AND GIVE. HE IS DOING A PROFESSIONAL JOB AND HE IS NOT SURE IF I WANT TO SAY CLEARLY ARE NOT. I WANT TO SAY EVERYTHING TRANSPARENTLY.

I WOULD NEVER ALLOW A TATTOO PARLOR IN THERE, EVEN IF I HAVE A TENANT STANDING THERE AND I CAN GET SUP APPROVAL. ANOTHER QUESTION THAT WAS NONANSWER CLEARLY WAS PHASES.

THE FIRST THING THAT WOULD BE BUILT THERE WOULD BE MY HOUSE, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE CONVENIENT FOR ME TO BE THERE AND OVERSEE THE ENTIRE PROJECT INSTEAD OF DRIVING 30 MILES EVERY DAY. HOUSING, THE BIG HOUSING WILL GO FIRST, IT IS ALSO ALSO LOGISTICALLY BETTER TO MOVE THE TRUCKS AND FINISH THE FAR PART INSTEAD OF BUILDING BRAND-NEW DUTIFUL CONSTRUCTION AND GOING THROUGH THE NEW ROAD TO THE BACK EVERY DAY.

THE FIRST PHASE WILL BE THE FARTHEST PHASE WHICH WILL BE THE BIGGER HOUSES, INCLUDING MINE.

AND THEN WILL BE THE SMALLER HOUSES AND THEN WILL BE THE FRONT.

ALL OTHER ABOUT MIXED-USE OR THE TENANTS WE WOULD ALLOW FOR OUR RETAIL.

THIS IS NOT A ROAD WHERE A LOT OF TRAFFIC FLOWS FROM OUTSIDE. THIS IS WHERE THE RESIDENTS COME IN AND OUT OF EVERY DAY. WHAT IS MY CUSTOMER BASE IF I WERE TO DO A BUSINESS? OR WHAT WILL BE THE CUSTOMER BASE OF MY TENANT WHO WILL BE UP IN A PLACE, SHOP, OR ANYTHING? IT IS THE RESIDENTS AROUND THE AREA. THOSE ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT NORMALLY TRAVEL ON THESE ROADS. IF MY TENANT FAIL, MY PROJECT WILL FAIL.

I TENANTS HAVE TO BE SOMEONE WHO CAN SELL THERE. IT MAY BE A COFFEE SHOP, A NAIL SALON, THINGS THAT THOSE PEOPLE WILL BE CONSUMING. IF I PUT OTHER THINGS THAT THOSE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR NOT CHOOSING, THE PROJECT WILL FAIL.

MY TENANT WILL HAVE TO LEAVE MY PROJECT WILL FAIL. I HAVE MANY OTHER THINGS TO SAY.

>> WE WILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION WHEN YOU PRESENT THIS TO CITY COUNCIL THAT YOU BE PART OF THE PRESENTATION TEAM INSTEAD OF THE PUBLIC HEARING SECTION OF THIS, OKAY? YOU HAVE A LOT TO ADD. I HATE TO CUT YOU OFF AT THREE MINUTES.

I HAVE TO DO THAT. WHEN THIS GOES TO CITY COUNCIL, HOWEVER HE GOES.

YOU NEED TO BE PART OF THE PRESENTATION TEAM. I SAW ANOTHER HAND.

YES, SIR? >> THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN AND COMMITTEE.

MY NAME IS BART REEDER, I AM THE DEVELOPER OF CANTERBURY COVE. I HAVE A COUPLE ITEMS TO MENTION AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO FIT IT IN THE THREE MINUTES OR JUST UNDER.

THE FIRST THING, I GUESS, THE STRANGEST THING TO ME AS THIS HAS BEEN BEFORE THE COMMITTEE A, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AT LEAST , HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED ABOUT THIS WHICH I FIND STRANGE.

IN LOOKING AT THIS LAYOUT, THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE SEEN IT. I'M LOOKING OUT A SHOT DOWNSCALE WHY IT IS NOT BEING TIED INTO CANTERBURY COVE WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TAUGHT -- TOLD BY THE GET GO, THE IDEA OF HAVING OUR STREETS TYING THEM TOGETHER. I MEAN, THAT AS A MATTER OF DESIGN. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS SOMETHING WHERE THIS COMMITTEE TO ADDRESS SPECIFICALLY. THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE 15 OR 14,000, INSTEAD OF TYING INTO, OR A THE BASICALLY 3500/4000 SQUARE-FOOT LOTS ADJOINING IT AND THE TOWNHOUSE LOTS STRIKES ME AS ODD THE NORTHEAST CORNER HAS BOTH A FRONT ON THE CUL-DE-SAC, AND ON A PUBLIC STREET ON THE EAST SIDE, I GUESS. JUST A BIT OF A STRANGE DESIGN THAT MAYBE THAT'S GOING TO BE CHANGED BEFORE IT'S ALL DONE. THE OTHER ODD THING, ON THIS DIAGRAM, THERE IS NO INDICATED DEDICATION ALONG CHIESA ROAD ON THE EAST SIDE WHICH WE HAVE 30 FEET DEDICATED FOR THE FUTURE EXPANSION. I MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE THE COMMENTS ABOUT THAT WALL ON THAT ONE PARTICULAR LOT. I BELIEVE THAT LOT IS GOING TO

[01:20:02]

TO ME, IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DENSE THAN THE ADJOINING PROPERTY WHICH IS JUST SLIGHTLY LESS ACREAGE, CANTERBURY COVE, WE HAVE 109 LOTS ON 22 ACRES. THAT 109-119 DWELLING UNITS ON 25 ACRES, ALSO INCLUDES SOME 80,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL OF COURSE, AS THIS COMMITTEE KNOWS, COMMERCIAL USE IS FAR MORE TRAFFIC INTENSIVE THAN RESIDENTIAL.

I THINK THIS IS TOO DENSE, AS FAR AS HAVING COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL.

I WOULD RECOMMEND SOMETHING BE DONE TO LIMIT THE COMMERCIAL, LIMIT THE RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE OF

THE DENSITY AND THE TRAFFIC. >> I AM MR. ROGER, I LIVE IN PLANO, I WANT TO THANK THE CITY OFFICIALS, CARLOS, DANIEL, JEFF, AND SHANNON. I COME IN PERSON, UNNOTICED, EVERY TIME I GO OUT THERE, I RESPOND WITH A SMILE. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THAT.

I WANT TO THANK THEM FIRST. ALSO, IN SPITE OF THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC IS NOT AFFECTED I AM WORKING ON THE PROJECT WITH THE FIRST PERSON WAS TALKING ABOUT, THE TOWNHOUSE ON THE APARTMENT. BECAUSE, WHENEVER I MET THEM THEY GIVE A LOT OF RESPONSE AND

THEN MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE PUBLIC. >> HAVE TO ASK YOU, IF YOU'RE GOING TO TALK, THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS ABOUT THIS AGENDA ITEM.

YOU KNOW, I DID HAVE -- THERE WAS NO PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 4B, THERE WAS NO PUBLIC HEARING FOR THAT. WE DID HAVE AN OPEN SESSION AT THE BEGINNING.

I TELL YOU WHAT, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND LET YOU FINISH, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN WHEN WE HAD THE GENERAL THING. IT'S KIND OF CONFUSING.

>> SORRY ABOUT THAT. THAT IS ALL. I WANTED TO THANK THEM.

>> ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AT THIS TIME. SEEING NONE. CLOSING PUBLIC COMMENT AT THIS

TIME. COMMISSIONERS, LET US DISCUSS. >> IS SEEM LIKE LAST TIME WE STILL CAME BACK TO CONCERNS WITH THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC THAT IS GOING TO BE COMING INTO THE AREA. IN SOME WAYS I LIKE THE NEW CONCEPT, BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO WITH MORE RESIDENTIAL. IF WE WERE TO GO FORWARD WITH THE MIXED-USE BUILDINGS, I WOULD RATHER SEE IT SOLD AS A CONDO AND GO ROUTE FIRST RATHER THAN HAVING THAT PROPERTY RENTED OUT.

TRAFFIC IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. ONE OF THE THINGS I CROSS MY MIND ON THIS CAMP AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE ASKED THEM WOULD YOU LIKE TO COVER THE COST OF THE ROAD. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT, I WOULD CERTAINLY CONSIDER.

>> I THINK I'M GOING TO GO ALONG WITH THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION WITH THIS.

I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT THE WAY IT IS. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE WIDENING OF MILLER AND CHIESA ROAD, IF THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SETBACKS, OR THE WIDENING OF THOSE TWO ROADS TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WE DID THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ON THIS.

I REMEMBER GOING BACK-AND-FORTH AND FORTH WITH THE TRANSITION FROM THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING AND TRANSITIONING DOWN AND GETTING TO THAT CORNER FOR COMMERCIAL.

[01:25:06]

AND -- >> LET ME JUST INTERJECT, DANIEL WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE

ROADS MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION. >> THE QUESTION CAME UP, IF I CAN GET THE SLIDE BACK ON. A COUPLE QUESTIONS CAME UP ABOUT ROADS AND TRANSPORTATION.

>> HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> OKAY. WHEN THE COMPUTER WORKS.

I HAVE A SLIDE HERE TALKING ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AND THE TRAFFIC CONSIDERATIONS.

ONE OF THE THINGS TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT THE INTERSECTION OF MILLER AND CHIESA ROAD IS BEING REDONE. THAT INTERSECTION IS NOT JUST THE CORNER, IT DOES EXTEND OUT A DISTANCE. AGAIN, THAT ROADWAY PROJECT IS COMPLETE.

THE MILLER, CHIESA ROAD INTERSECTION. CONSTRUCTION IS LIKELY TO BEGIN IN EARLY 2020 ON THE INTERSECTION. I WILL SHOW YOU THE EXTENT OF THE RECONSTRUCTION WILL BE FROM CHEESE A ROAD TO THE SECOND INTERSECTION OF THIS PROPERTY.

IT IS PROBABLY MORE THAN HALF THE DISTANCE OF THIS PROPERTY IS ALREADY BEING CONSTRUCTED AT THE ULTIMATE ROAD CONDITION. IT ALSO EXTENDS ALMOST THE SAME DISTANCE ON THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. KIND OF THE SAME DISTANCE. THAT IS JUST TO BE NOTED THERE.

AS WELL AS KIND OF WHAT WAS ALREADY MENTIONED WITH THE OTHER ROADWAY PROJECTS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE AREA. THERE WAS A QUESTION AS WELL AS TO IF THE APPLICANT IS DEDICATING PORTIONS OF IT RIGHT AWAY. HE IS DEDICATING PORTIONS OF RIGHT AWAY, BOTH ON THE WEST END HERE, THERE IS A DEDICATION THAT IS HAPPENING TO ACCOMMODATE THE ULTIMATE ROAD CONDITION AS WELL AS IN THIS AREA SO THAT IT WOULD ACCOMMODATE THE FULL ROAD

SECTION. >> THE RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE ON WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW DOES

LINE UP WITH WHAT IS GOING NORTH >> YES. THERE MAY BE A LITTLE CONFUSION HERE. CANTERBURY COVE HAD ENGINEERED A SLIP OF STREET AND BETWEEN THE ROADWAY AND THE ULTIMATE ROADWAY CONDITION IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE FRONT FACING HOUSES ON CHIESA ROAD. THEY INCORPORATED A SLIP STREET CONDITION BEHIND THAT.

THAT IS WHY IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE IT STAGGERS. THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT DO THAT. INSTEAD IT JUST TO DEDICATES THE FULL RIGHT TO ACCOMMODATE FOR

THAT. >> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> AS I LOOK AT IT, I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AS FAR AS WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND HOW THE MULTI USE FITS IN THERE WITH THE THAT IS A CONCERN THAT I'M NOT QUITE -- AND FIGURED OUT PART OF IT. THE OTHER PART I HAVE A CONCERN WITH IS JUST GETTING ACROSS THE BRIDGE. A FEW TIMES I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THEIR AT FIVE AND 6:00 O'CLOCK, AND TRAFFIC IS COMING OFF OF 30 COMING DOWN TO THEIR. I SEE THE AMOUNT OF PARKING SPACES THAT ARE IN THEIR WHEN YOU START ADDING 139 LOTS. PLUS BUSINESSES, PEOPLE COMING IN THEIR, THERE ARE TIMES ALREADY THAT THE TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP ALL THE WAY TO GEORGE BUSH. I HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT HOW MUCH MORE TRAFFIC CANNOT INTERSECTION, WHEN WE DON'T KNOW THAT THE BRIDGE IS GOING. IT WOULD BE IN MY OPINION TO SEE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT IS ALREADY ZONED, TIES IN THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH CANTERBURY COVE SO IT IS ALL UNIFORM WITH A HOUSING OTHER THAN HAVING THAT SEE ONE THAT WE HAVE DESIGNATED

ALREADY. >> I WILL HAVE JEFF ADDRESS SOME OF THAT AS FAR AS THE BRIDGE ON THE ROADWAYS BEING IMPACTED. I CAN TALK ON THE ZONING QUICKLY THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS AS TO HOW THE ZONING IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. IF YOU LOOK AT, I WOULD JUST TRANSITION THE WAY THAT THEIR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN TRANSITIONS.

ON THE NORTH SIDE YOU HAVE THE YELLOW INDICATION FOR LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

[01:30:03]

EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN CONCERT WITH A FUTURE LAND USE PLAN COULD BE AS SMALL AS 7000 SQUARE-FOOT LOTS. AS LARGE AS 20,000 SQUARE-FOOT LOTS.

THIS YELLOW AREA IS BEING DESIGNATED FOR SI 15 WHICH IS 15,000 SQUARE-FOOT LOTS, AS YOU

CAN SEE HERE INDICATED. >> 14,000. >> THAT IS CORRECT.

AND THAT IT TRANSITIONS TO SF SEVEN NSF FIVE. YOU CAN SEE THAT TRANSITION, MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WHICH WOULD THEN BE UNDER THOUSAND SEVEN -- UNDER 7000 SQUARE FEET.

YOU CAN SEE THAT RAP AROUND THE COMMERCIAL AREA AND THAT MILLER ROAD.

AND AGAIN YOU HAVE THE COMMERCIAL ON THE HARD CORNERS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WOULD BE THE MIXED-USE COMPONENT ALONG MILLER ROAD AND AS FAR AS APPROPRIATENESS AND A RECOMMENDATION TO POINT TO THE STATEMENT. ALTHOUGH MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL IS RECOMMENDED ALONG MILLER ROAD. THE PROPOSAL IS TO PROVIDE MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT COMPRISING 70 CONDOMINIUM UNITS WITH THE FIRST LEVEL RETAIL ABOUT 600-FOOT OF FRONTAGE ALONG MILLER ROAD. THE INTENT IS TO PROVIDE AMPLE PHYSICAL SEPARATION BETWEEN THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ABUTTING THE MAJOR ARTERIAL ROAD.

THAN I CAN TALK ABOUT THE BRIDGE. THE BRIDGE IS CITY OF DALLAS AND THAT CORRIDOR IS ACTUALLY DALLAS COUNTY. WE HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT.

I BELIEVE THE CITY IN DALLAS COUNTY WOULD PARTICIPATE, JUST LIKE DALLAS COUNTY AND THE CITY ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE CURRENT WIDENING OF MILLER ROAD. AND THE CITY OF ROWLETT, AND THE CITY OF DALLAS WOULD COME I'M CERTAIN, PARTNER TO HELP WIDE THAT BRIDGE.

THERE BRIDGET WIDENING IS CONTEMPLATED. I DON'T SEE IT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THAT IS REALLY ALL I KNOW ABOUT THE BRIDGE PROJECT.

MILLER ROAD IS LIKE WE HAVE STATED TONIGHT IS ON THE BOOKS TO BE CONSTRUCTED NEXT YEAR BEGINNING NEXT YEAR. THE DESIGN IS VIRTUALLY DONE. THE DESIGN WAS A COLLABORATION OF DALLAS COUNTY ON THE CITY AND THE CONSTRUCTION WILL BE SO, TOO.

I THINK IT WAS ALSO POINTED OUT THAT CHIESA ROAD FROM MILLER DOWN TO DOWEL ROCK IS IN THE DESIGN PHASES RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE DOING GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS.

CHIESA ROAD FROM MILLER ROAD UP TO LAKEVIEW PARKWAY IS ON THE FARTHER TIME HORIZON.

>> ANYTHING ELSE, JOHN? [INAUDIBLE] >> ARE GOING TO HAVE

SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES TO THE SOUTH OF MILLER >> I'M NOT SURE I LIKE THAT.

CHIESA ROAD I LOOKED AT THIS -- -- CHIESA ROAD -- >> WE LOOKED AT THESE PROPERTIES ALONG MILLER MANY TIMES IN DIFFERENT USES. I SEEM TO REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO THAT THAT PIECE THAT IS IN THE FUTURE LAND USE PROGRAM IS LISTED AS A MEDIUM DENSITY WAS C1. THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT I DO LIKE HOW THIS PROPOSED PROJECT, THIS PD IS. I'M NOT GOING TO BE HERE VERY LONG.

[01:35:02]

THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL LAKEFRONT LOTS. WATCH THAT TWO YEARS FROM NOW.

SEE IF THEY WANT TO COME IN AND CHANGE IT TO SF-5. THAT IS WHAT I WORRY ABOUT.

THIS DOES GENERALLY COMPLY WITH THE GENERAL LAND USE PLAN OF ROWLETT.

I WAS IN THE SAME MEANINGS MR. WE HAVE THE COMMERCIAL ON THE CORNER, THAT IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR. I HAVE SAID THIS MANY TIMES AND UP HERE IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. ANYWHERE WHERE WE HAVE EMPTY LOTS, WHERE YOU SEE SF 40.

THOSE ARE ALL GOING TO BE CHANGED. NOBODY IS BUILDING HOUSES ON SF 40 LOTS ANYMORE. EVERY VACANT AREA IS GOING TO BE REQUESTED TO BE SMALLER NEIGHBORHOODS, PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD. EVERY PLACE WE HAVE THAT IS VACANT, WE ARE GOING TO BE IN THE BUILDOUT STAGE, AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING THESE DEVELOPED. THERE WILL BE HOUSES HERE.

I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN BETTER COORDINATION WITH THE CANTERBURY COVE PROJECT. I AM HOPING THAT STAFF TAKES A LOOK AT THE STREETS AND MAKES SURE THERE IS SOME COORDINATION THERE. I KNOW IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THESE NEIGHBORHOODS DO HAVE SOME. I WOULD HOPE, IN THE FUTURE THAT WHEN WE HAVE PROJECTS COME IN. THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY BY STAFF TO INTRODUCE THE PROSPECTIVE APPLICANT TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALSO DEVELOPING THINGS TO HAVE SOME COORDINATION.

MAYBE THE GUY THAT IS BUILDING NEXT DOOR HAS AN IDEA WHERE YOU CAN DO BETTER ON BOTH THINGS AND DO MUCH BETTER FOR THE CITY OF ROWLETT, THE CITIZENS. ALL THAT BEING SAID, I MEAN,, I THINK THE BIGGEST CHANGE AS STAFF HAS POINTED OUT, IS THE CHANGING FROM THE MEDIUM DENSITY TO THE MIXED-USE IS A CHANGE. I DON'T THINK IT IS THAT BIG OF A DEAL MYSELF.

I WOULD BE SUPPORTING STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION ON THIS. I THINK EVERYBODY HAS HAD A CHANCE TO SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY. I AM READY FOR EMOTION.

I AM READY FOR EMOTION. >> I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE APPROVE THE REZONING OF THIS

PROPERTY AS DESCRIBED BY STAFF IN THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. >> DO I HAVE A SECOND?

>> I WILL SECOND IT. >> WE WILL RAISE HANDS. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? TAKE THE VOTE. WE ARE DOING IT BY HAND. ALL IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HAND. THAT ITEM DOES NOT CARRY. TO BE ADJOURN OUT? IT DID NOT
