[5A. Presentation of a proclamation in honor of Black History Month and recognizing the week of February 9 – 16, 2020 as African American Pioneers Week in the City of Rowlett.]

WE'RE GOING TO START WITH ITEM 5 A TODAY, PRESENTATION IN HONOR OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH IN RECOGNIZING FEBRUARY 9TH-16TH, 2020 AS AFRICAN AMERICAN PIONEERS WEEK IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT. I WOULD LIKE FIRST OF ALL TO ASK ANYONE HERE FROM THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION TO COME JOIN ME UP HERE. SO, OUR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION HAS BEEN WORKING HARD FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW TO PROMOTE DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE THRILLED TO PRESENT THIS PROCLAMATION TONIGHT.

I'M GOING TO GIVE HISTORY ON IT AND THEN I AM GOING TO ASK SOME FAMILY MEMBERS TO COME FORWARD FOR THE PROCLAMATION. BEFORE I START THAT, WOULD YOU PLEASE COME INTRODUCE YOUR FOLKS THAT ARE HERE. YOU GET TO DO THIS, YOU'RE CHAIR.

AND TELL US WHEN THESE FOLKS ARE. >> SURE.

MY NAME IS ROBERT MCCARRIER. WITH ME IS ALINA JEFFERSON, DIANA MOORE AND DENISE MOORE AND

APRIL WISE. >> A NEW MEMBER OF OUR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION.

THIS IS JUST A PORTION OF THIS. THERE ARE MORE MEMBERS THAN THIS.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO START DOING IS RAISE AWARENESS OF VARIOUS EVENTS AND THIS IS ONE OF OUR FIRST SO WE'RE VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THIS FEBRUARY 9TH THROUGH 16TH IS AFRICAN AMERICAN PIONEERS AWARENESS WEEK. AND THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH. SO WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO CELEBRATE THESE EVENTS. AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILIES HAVE BEEN A PART OF ROWLETT COMMUNITY LONG BEFORE THE CITY WAS INCORPORATED IN 1952. ONE FAMILY IN PARTICULAR, ISAAC AND NAOMI SKRUGS HAVE BEEN WHY THE AREA. ROWLETT WAS PRIMARILY FARMLAND AND COTTON MILLS WITH MOSTLY AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILIES AROUND THEM.

THE SCRUGGS FAMILY BUILT THEIR HOME IN ROWLETT TWO YEARS BEFORE IT WAS KNOW INCORPORATED AS A 63. THE FUQUASS, GRAYS, LEES, MCGUIRES AMONG MANY OTHERS.

[00:05:06]

THE SCRUGGS FAMILY ALSO OWNED A LOCAL BUSINESS FOR SEVERAL YEARS ARE THE SCRUGGS STORE AND GAS STATION. THEY OWNED FARMLAND AND HAD TENANTS.

ISAAC SCRUGGS WAS A MEMBER OF THE ROWLETT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND A MEMBER OF ZION MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH AND ROWLETT SAVE THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE AND THE NEEDY CHILDREN'S FUND.

HE PARTNERED WITH LONG TIME RESIDENT VERNON SHRADY TO DRIVE THE EFFORTS TO HAVE WATER EXTENDED TO THE OUTLYING AREA OF THE CITY AS NOTED IN THE ARTICLES OF THE ROWLETT ARCHIVES. ISAAC SCRUGGS WAS DEEMED A FRIEND OF FRIENDS AND HE AND HIS WIFE WERE KNOWN TO MAKE ANY PLANT OR VEGETATION GROW OR COME BACK TO LIVE AS HIS GRANDDAUGHTER BEVERLY SO WARMLY STARTED. IT'S THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILIES LIKE THE SCRUGGS AND OTHERS WHO DONATED TO THE COMMUNITY.

IN HONOR OF AFRICAN AMERICANS PAST AND PRESENT, WE ARE PROCLAIMING NEXT WEEK AS PIONEERS AWARENESS WEEK. I WOULD LIKE THE SCRUGGS FAMILY TO COME FORWARD AND ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO CELEBRATE WITH US ON THIS PROCLAMATION, PLEASE COME FORWARD ALSO.

CAN ONE OF YOU JUST LIKE INTRODUCE SOME PEOPLE AND TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE.

WILL YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE. SHE VOLUNTEERED YOU.

JUST TELL US WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU'RE RELATED AND INTRODUCE YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS.

>> I AM JOSEPH SCRUGGS. I'M ISAAC SCRUGGS YOUNGEST CHILD.

THIS IS MY SISTER, HIS OLDEST CHILD. AND I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN NAME

ALL OF THEM. >> YOU DON'T HAVE TO. >> ARE YOU ALL FAMILY MEMBERS?

>> YES ALL GRANDCHILDREN. >> DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? NO.

OKAY. I'M GOING TO READ THE PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS SINCE 1976 FEBRUARY HAS BEEN DISTINGUISHED NATIONWIDE AS BLACK HISTORY MONTH AND WHEREAS RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION OF AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT HAVE HELPED ESTABLISH THE FOUNDATIONAL VALUES OF ROWLETT. IT'S IMPORTANT TO REFLECT ON THE PIONEERS WHO CAME BEFORE AND WHEREAS AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILIES HAVE LONG BEEN A PART OF ROWLETT COMMUNITY WHEN IT WAS PRIMARILY FARMLAND AND COTTON MILLS BEFORE IT WAS INCORPORATED IN A CITY. AND WHEREAS ISAAC AND NAOMI SCRUGGS SETTLED WITH THEIR HOME HERE. THEY OWNED FARMLAND, TENANTS AND OWNED SCRUGGS STORE AND GAS STATION. AND WHEREAS MR. SCRUGGS WAS A MEMBER OF THE ROWLETT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. SAVE THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

I BET THAT HAS STORIES. WAS A MEMBER OF THE ZION MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH AND WHEREAS OTHER NOTABLE AFRICAN AMERICAN PIONEER FAMILIES WERE THE FUQUAS, LEES, GRAYS AND MANY OTHERS. THESE FAMILIES HELP SAVE WHAT ROWLETT IS TODAY AND LOOKS TOWARD BEING IN THE FUTURE. NOW THEREFORE I TAMMY DANA BASHIAN ON BEHALF OF CITY COUNCIL DISTINGUISH FEBRUARY 9TH-16 AS AFRICAN AMERICAN PIONEERS AWARENESS WEEK IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY AS BLAST HISTORY MONTH IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO RECOGNIZE THE GREAT IMPACT MADE IN OUR COMMUNITY BOTH PAST AND PRESENT.

The 1.5-acre site is located on the north side of Lakeview Parkway and approximately 437 feet east of Kenwood Drive, in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas.]

BURGER, BURGER ENGINEERING LLC TO AMEND PDC 2 DISTRICT ORDINANCE 003-006 TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED BUILDING AREA AND DECREASE THE PARKING LOT AREA.

LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF LAKE VIEW AND 437 EAST OF KEN WOOD DRIVE.

IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. GOOD EVENING.

THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS AN AMENDMENT TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

SUBJECT PROPERTY IS REFLECTED IN THE AREA IN BLOCK BOLD. A RECTANGULAR SECTION.

[00:35:17]

THE REQUEST BEFORE US TONIGHT IS PRIMARILY A REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT TO AMEND THE EXISTING APPROVED PLAN DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS WHICH HAD RESTRICTIONS ON THE MAXIMUM BUILDING AREA THAT COULD BE PLACED ON A LOT AND IT ALSO IDENTIFIED SOME PARKING REGULATIONS IN TERMS OF MAXIMUM PARKING ON A LOT. THIS IS LOT THREE.

ACCESS IS OFF OF LAKE VIEW PARK WAY AND KEN WOOD DRIVE. THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THE INGRESS AND EGRESS TO THE SITE. THE REQUEST IS TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AS IT RELATES TO DEVELOPMENT IN THE ENVELOPE ITSELF.

I HAVE ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING PATTERN, WHICH IS PRIMARILY RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL IN NATURE. THE CURRENT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT HAS STIPULATIONS AS IT RELATES TO THE MAXIMUM BUILDING AREA CAPPED. THE SETBACKS ARE IDENTIFIED AT 50 FEET LONG LAKEVIEW PARK WAY. BUILDING HEIGHT AT 26 FEET. PARKING AREA REQUIREMENTS AS STIPULATED IN ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EVERY 100 SQUARE FEET OF GROSS AREA.

AND THERE WAS ANOTHER APPROVEDA THE A NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES OF 68, EVEN THOUGH THE EXISTING APPROVED SITE PLAN REFLECTS 65 SPACES. SITE IS ALREADY DEVELOPED WITH A CHICK-FIL-A RESTAURANT. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REMODEL THE CHICK-FIL-A AND PROVIDING 2 DRIVE THROUGH LANES AS OPPOSED TO ONE. AS A RESULT, YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, THE YELLOW BOX TO THE TOP OF THE SITE PLAN IS THE INCREASED BUILDING AREA.

THEY ARE REQUESTING A MAXIMUM SQUARE FEET OF 5000. THE DOUBLE DRIVE THROUGH WORKS CIRCULATION PATTERN IS IDENTIFIED WITH THOSE MAGENTA OR PURPLE ARROWS WHICH SHOW HOW THEY WORK AND THERE IS A RED AREA THAT IS ENCLOSED THAT REFLECTS THE AREA.

THERE IS NO NEGATIVE IMPACT ASSOCIATED WITH PROPOSED EXPANSION.
