I AM A MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF PIERCERS. ATTEND PIERCING AND SAFETY SEMINAR. I OWN THE PIERCING BUSINESS AT A MID GUARD THAT FOO COMPANY IN FARMER'S BRANCH.

I HAVE TWO EMPLOYEES WHICH I PAN TO HAVE HERE IN ROWLETT AS WELL. I'M EXCITED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN CROWN AND CURIO, THE NAME OF THE STUDIO.

A BRAND-NEW BOUTIQUE TATTOO AND PIERCING STUDIO WITH BEAUTIFUL

[00:20:04]

WE HOPE TO STAND OUT ABOVE THE OTHER SHOPS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I WANT TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE, WHETHER THEY ARE SHOPPING FOR JEWELLERY OR GETTING THEIR FIRST TIME PIERCING FOR THEMSELVES OR THEIR CHILD.

VISITING ONE OF OUR TATTOO ARTIST WE PLAN TO MAKE PAINT SAFE SPACE FOR ALL. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US.

THIS IS MORE THAN OPENING A BUSINESS FOR ME.

IT IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE I LIVE.

MY CURRENT STUDIO WHICHLY BE KEEPING IS IN FARMER'S BRANCH, WHICH IS 35, MINUTES A HON UR FM HERE.

MY GOAL IS TO TRANSFORM AN EXISTING VACANT STUDIO INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE THAT ROWLETT CAN BE PROUD OF.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

I WOULD WILL HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AFTER MY POWER POINT.

GET THESE ON SO I CAN SEE IT. SO THIS IS WHO I AM.

MY NAME IS PAMELA. I AM ALSO A MOTHER.

MY WORK IS IN HIGH-END JEWELLERY, 18, 14 CARROT GOLD GENUINE STONE. WE OFFER TITANIUM WITH A LARGE VARIETY. WE DO A LOT OF CURE RATING STYLING. IT IS ART THAT YOU CAN WEAR FOREVER AND IT'S BEEN VERY POPULAR IN RECENT YEARS.

RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE STUDIO LOOKED LIKE BEFORE.

IT WAS A FANTASTIC HAIR SALON ON LAKEVIEW 66.

I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY AN OPERATING STUDIO FOR 30 YEAR.

NOW I WANT TO BRING THAT EXPERIENCE TO MY COMMUNITY.

THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT IS A MOCKUP ON HOW WE PLAN TO MAKE IT LOOK. IT WILL BE BOUTIQUE STYLE FEATURING A VICTORIAN ODDS AND ENDS IN THERE.

I DO ALREADY OWN THIS BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY CASE.

BUT I HAVE ACQUIRED RECENTLY, SO WE PLAN ON HAVING SHANT LEERS A MOODIE PLUM INTERIOR WITH THE HARDWOOD AND MOODIE LOW IT WILL WARM CEILING STRUCTURE. WE HAVE A PRIVATE PIERCING ROOM DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY AND CONFIDENT.

WE DO PROMOTE THE HIGH AR STANDARDS IN CLEANLINESS.

I AM AN EDUCATOR IN PIERCE PER AND MOST REFER MOST OF THE PROBLEMS TO ME OR THE MEDICAL INDIVIDUALS AROUND DALLAS, REFER PROBLEM CLIENTS TO ME. WE DO WANT IT TO BE WELCOME FOR ALL AGES INCLUDING CHILDREN TO ADULT.

I PIERCE CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS FIVE YEARS OLD.

WITH PARENTAL CONSENT. I HAVE CLIENTS AS OLD 85.

ALSO REDOING THEIR EARS OR DOING SOME MORE FUN PIERCINGS LIKE A NOSTRIL. THE TATTOO STUDIO WILL BE INSPIRING FOR TALENTED ARTISTS SO THEY CAN CREATE FOR CLIENTS AND FEEL AT EASE. ONE OF MY BRAND-NEW ARTISTS IS WITH ME HERE TODAY. IT WILL BE AN OPEN AREA BUT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE PRIVACY SCREENS. SOP OUR JEWELLERY IS VERY LUXURY. IT WILL BE A HIGHER END COMPARED TO EVERYONE ELSE IN ROWLETT. CURRENTLY THERE ARE ONLY TWO TO THREE STUDIOS IN ALL OF DALLAS FORT WORTH THAT CARRY THE QUALITY OF JEWELLERY WE CARRY TODAY ANDLY BE BRINGING THAT TO ROWLETT. THIS IS THE PLAN FOR THE OUTSIDE. WE ARE UNABLE TO PAINT BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A NICE ANTIQUE STYLED LIT SIGN, HOPEFULLY AN AWNING IF WE CAN GET THAT APPROVE TO BRING MORE VIGIL TO THE STUDIO. AND, THAT IS IT.

I HOPE YOU HAVE TIME AND I HOPE YOU LIKE THE POWER POINT AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONSLY BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

>> COMMISSIONER, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

MR. FERNANDEZ. >> THE EQUIPMENT YOUR ARTISTS AND YOUR OTHER PIERCINGS WILL BE USING IS THAT SOMETHING THEY BRING WITH THEM OR SOMETHING YOU ARE PROVIDING? REQUEST FOR MY PIERCERS I PROVIDE ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES FOR THE TATTOO ARTISTLY BE SUPPLYING THE DISPOSABLE SUPPLIES AND THEY WILL HAVE THEIR OWN MACHINES THEY USE CAN DISPOSE DISPOSABLE NEEDLES AND INK.

EVERYTHING HE WILL BE THE HIGHEST SAFETY.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE?

>> JOE? >> SO I'M NEW TO THIS.

AS FAR AS THAT PART. SO CAN ANYONE JUST WALK IN AND GET A TATTOO 15, 13 YEARS OLD? HOW DOES THAT WORK?

AND SO EXPLAIN THAT. >> THE TAKES DDEPARTMENT OF HEA VERY STRICT. YOU MUST BE 18 WITH A GOVERNMENT I.D. THEY FILL OUT A RELEASE FORM.

WE MAKE A RECORD FOR OUR RECORDS AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

WE DO IN THE PROVIDE ANY TATTOOS FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18.

[00:25:04]

WHATSOEVER. >> OK, THANK YOU.

HOW DO YOU DETERMINE AS FAR AS I GET THE AGE THING BUT WHETHER SOMEONE IS SOBER. GENERAL OBSERVATION?

>> I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 30 YEARS.

SO I HAVE GOTTEN PRETTY WELL-KNOWN WITH WHO IS SOBER AND WHO ISN'T. MY FIRST BUSINESSES WERE IN -- WE HAD A LOT OF TURN AWAY. CURRENTLY WE ARE MID GARDEN FARMER'S BRANCH, WHICH IS AN INTERESTING AREA.

THERE IS NOT A LOT OF DRIVE BY TRAFFIC.

I DON'T THINK WE EVER HAVE GOTTEN ANYONE INTOXICATED FROM THERE BUT GENERALLY WHEN SOMEONE COMES IN, IF THEY ARE BLUBBERING CAN'T KEEP EYE CONTACT, UNEXPLAIN TO WHAT THEY WANT TO GETTING WE ASK THEM HOW LONG THEY HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT. IF SOMEBODY IS WANTING SOMETHING ON THEIR HAND OR FACE, WE GO THROUGH THE CONVERSATION OF BEING A JOB KILLER AND HELP THEM MAKE GOOD CHOICES.

IF SOMEONE SEEMS TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE THIS LUCKILY THERE IS NO BARS THAT I HAVE SEEN OTHER THAN CHILIS IN ROWLETT.

SO THAT WILL LOWER THE AMUNT OF PEOPLE COMING INTOXICATED.

THANK YOU. >> MARK?

>> FROM THE PICTURES THERE IS PRETTY SPECIFIC AND VERY NICE LOOKING RENOVATIONS. ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO THAT LIKE

IMMEDIATELY? >> ABSOLUTELY.

WE HAVE INVESTED $5,000 INTO THE BUILDING FOR JUST DOING A LITTLE BIT OF ADJUSTING. WE ARE GOING TO SOON BE WORKING ON OUR PLUMBING AND ELECTRICITY. I HAVE ALL OF THE LIGHT FIXTURES WAITING FOR ME, THE DISPLAY CASE IN THE STUDIO.

HAVE THE CURIO CABINETS WAITING FOR ME.

ALL THAT WE NEED TO DO SINCE WE ARE NOT DOING A LOT OF CHANGE TO THE BUILDING IT WILL BE NEW FLOOR, PAINT, CEILING AND FIXTURES. SO EVERYTHING WILL HAVE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN BLEND TO IT. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS ANY OTHER SHOPS THAT WILL HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF LUXURY.

>> GO AHEAD. >> SO IN TERMS OF OPERATING HOURS YOU ARE OPEN TO 8 P.M. SO WILL THIS ENVIRONMENT OR FACILITY BE USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE BESIDE TATTOOING UP TOP 8

P.M. OR BEYOND THAT? >> NO, SIR.

IT WILL ONLY END AT 8:00 P.M. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO FINISH EARLIER THEY WILL HAVE A KEY TO LOCK UP AND LEAVE AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. POSSIBLY ONE OF THE TATTOO ARTIST BUT WE DO NOT WANT PEOPLE THERE ANY LATER THAN 8:00 P.M.

>> WON'T HAVE PEOPLE IN THE PARKING LOT?

>> WE SHOULDN'T, NO, SIR. I BELIEVE WE WILL BE CLOSING BEFORE THE SMOKE SHOP DOES. I WANT TO SAY THEY ARE OPEN MUCH

LATER THAN THAT. >> OK.

>> I DO PREFER TO BE AN EARLIER DATA TOO STUDIO.

I WORKED IN THASTUDIOS 3:00 P.MO 3:00 A.M. AND DEAL WITH DRUNKS IN THE PAST AND THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> UNDERSTANDING THAT, MA'AM.

>> UNDERCOVER THAT THANK YOU -- THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THERE IS THREE OTHER TATTOO SHOPS, WHAT MAKES YOUR SHOT DIFFERENT OR MORE IMPORTANT OR WHY PUT IN THIS AREA?

>> I HAVE VISITED ARE ALL OF THE STUDIOS.

I DO HAVE A FEW FRIENDS AT SOME OF THEM.

ONE OF THE CONSISTENT ISSUES WITH THOSE TATTOO STUDIOS IS IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE IN ASSERY D -- NONE OF THE STUDIO WILL BE CARRYING ARE THE SAME TYPE OF JEWELLERILY BE CARRYING. I AM A MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL PIERCERS WHICH THEY ARE WELCOME TO JOIN BUT YOU HAVE TO BE PRECISION JEWELLERY FROM SPECIFIC STUDIO VERIFIED.

AS WELL AS OUR TATTOO ARTISTS WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE A MORE PERM BALANCE WITH THEM. WE WILL ALSO OFFER AERIAL PIGMENTATION FOR CANCER PATIENTS.

WE DO HAVE A SPECIAL ARTIST THAT DOES JUST THAT.

DON'T BELIEVE ALL OF THEM HAVE THE SAME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU AGAIN. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

SINCE THIS IS FOR PUBLIC HEARING, IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT I DON'T BELIEVE I SAW ANYBODY TURNING IN A SLIP TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE IS ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS, FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. THE CHAIRMAN HAS COME IN AND

[00:30:08]

SO IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THE PASSAGE

OF THIS? >> WE WILL HAVE A DISCUSSION

AFTER A MOTION. >> I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE TATTOO PARLOR.

>> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> ALL RIGHT. THERE IS A MOTION.

ANY DISCUSSION BY THE COMMISSIONERS.

>> I DON'T HAVE THE ITEM RIGHT NOW.

>> I'M SORRY. >> DO NOT HAVE AN ITEM.

>> YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DISCUSS. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. WITH NO DISCUSSION, I'M READY FOR A VOTE ON THE MOTION AND WE CAN DO IT ELECTRONICALLY.

MINE IS NOT SHOWING ANYTHING. I GUESS WE ARE ALL UP.

OK. OK.

ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES ON A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL. ON -- SORRY, ON A 5-2 VOTE.

SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE CITY COUNCIL HEAR IT.

OK. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE THE COMMISSION TONIGHT? BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER AGENDAED ITEM. WELL, SEEING AND HEARING NOTHING FOR THE FUTURE, THEN WE WILL BE
