WITH THAT ESTIMATED DOLLAR AMOUNT WILL, UM, REPORTEDLY MILLION DOLLARS HAVE. WAS CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO ANY OTHER CHARACTER BESIDES HORIZON. DON'T ASK MY I T DIRECTOR AND THE ANSWER IS YES, BUT THE DON'T TELL CODES ARE THE SAME. SO THE PRICE THAT WE GET IT THAT WE'RE GETTING THERE FLAT FEES. SO FOR SOMETHING THAT'S A FLAT $33.50 PLANS. WE HAVE ROUTERS THAT WE CALL CRADLE POINTS WHERE YOU SEE THINGS WORKING. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON. BUT THE PLAN IS SOLID ACROSS . WE LOOK AT THE PRESENCE OF THE TELCO IN THE AREAS WHERE RISING HIS HEAVILY INTO OUR AREA, SO THEIR SIGNALS A LOT STRONGER.

AND THEN THE 18 TH BILL, SO WE JUST GOT REALLY MINOR POINT IF IT'S SO MUCH TO TELL ME TO SHUT UP, BUT LOOKING AT CITY , THE LINE ITEM FOR CITY COUNCIL IS 124,000.

EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT USING IT. YOU STILL HAVE THE DATA AT HOME AND YOU LOOK ON YOUR IPAD.

THE VISITOR CENTER HAS SOME MAINTENANCE, REPAIR SOME LANDSCAPE UPGRADES, THEY HAD SOME PLUMBING ISSUES. RUSSIA MAY ALSO HAVE SOME COMPUTER UPGRADES AND THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM HAD GONE DOWN, AND IT DOES SERVE AS A VISITOR CENTER, AND THERE'S SOME SIGNAGE THAT THEY WANT TO ALSO IMPROVED. AS YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE THE COUNCIL BACK IN 19,204 THAN NORMAL OPERATIONS OF THE VISITOR CENTER. AND SO THEY ARE MAKING A NEW REQUEST FOR $15,215.68 THESE ARE ELIGIBLE. AH!

FORWARD PROGRAM. THANK YOU ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, IF NOT. OKAY OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT, THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR BRIEF PRESENTATIONS. I REMEMBER TO DISCUSS STREETLIGHT POLICIES BEST PRACTICES. INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. IT'S AMAZING. IN THEIR HONORABLE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL. I'M JACKIE COLTON, THE INTERIM DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT STREET POLICY. THIS PRACTICES. SO THE CITY HAS A STREETLIGHT POLICY WAS LAST UPDATED 14 YEARS AGO, UH, COUNCILMAN COOMBS BEYOND HIS SOME REQUESTS FROM CITIZENS IN JULY, ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL MID BLOCK STREET LIGHTS. WE BRIEFED THE COUNCIL OCTOBER 18TH ON OUR CURRENT
[00:15:06]
STREET LIKE POLICY. AND WE WERE ASKED AT THAT TIME TO BRING BACK BEST PRACTICES. UH IN THE INTERIM, WE RECEIVED QUESTIONS FROM COUNCILMAN KOOKS. SO THE PURPOSE OF OUR BRIEFING TODAY IS TO DISCUSS BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. FOUR STREET LIGHT. POLICIES AS WELL AS ANSWER THE COUNCIL MEMBERS QUESTIONS. OKAY SO WE RECEIVED SIX QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCILMAN WANT RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL REQUEST? OUR CURRENT POLICY DOES NOT INCLUDE PROCESS FOR RECEIVING REQUEST FOR MID BLOCK STREET LIGHTS FROM RESIDENTS. THE SECOND REQUEST RELATED TO MID BLOCK SPACING REVISIONS. CURRENTLY POLICY STATES THAT FOR STREETS LESS THAN 1000 FT. YOU IT WOULDN'T WARRANT A MID BLOCK. STREET LIGHT. SO THE COUNSELOR ASKED THAT WE REVIEW THAT AND LOOK AT BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. OUR CURRENT POLICY DOES NOT INCLUDE A SECTIONAL DEFINITIONS THAT WAS ALSO REQUESTED. THE FOURTH REVISION RELATES TO PURPOSE. THE CURRENT PURPOSE OF OUR POLICY IS TO PROVIDE FOR THE PROTECTION. OR SECURITY OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC, SO THE VEHICLES SO WE WERE ASKED TO EVERY VISIONS TO PROVIDE FOR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. INDIAN. THERE WERE. REQUEST TO ADDRESS STREETSCAPE LIGHTING AS DORKS AND LIGHTING AND WE WILL GET INTO EACH OF THESE ITEMS HERE. OKAY, SO WE LOOKED AT MORE ACTUALLY MORE THAN SEVEN CITIES. UH WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REVIEWED THE POLICY OF OUR BEST SOUTHWEST CITY. SO THAT'S THIS. SOTO, CEDAR HILL AND LANCASTER. IN ADDITION TO DUNCANVILLE, IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE LOOK AT LEWISTON'S MAIN AS WELL AS PLAIN OLD AND MISSOURI CITY, AND WE THREW IN MANSFIELD FOR GRANTS. OKAY, SO.CITY SURVEY. AND THIS RELATES TO RESIDENTS REQUEST SO THE ONLY. STEADY THAT HAS A FORMAL REQUEST FOR MID BLOCK LIGHTS IS PLANO. THEY HAVE A PETITION REQUEST. SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DO FOR RHODA.
THE OTHERS MENTION, YOU KNOW, RECEIVING CITIZEN REQUEST IN THEIR GUIDELINES OR POLICIES AND ALSO PROVIDE FOR THE REQUEST TO BE REVIEWED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND APPROVED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. THAT IS TRUE OF MOST OF ALL OF THEM. GO BACK ONE. YES, SIR. OKAY, PLANO.
SECOND FROM THE BOTTOM HOMEOWNERS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY TWO THIRDS THE COST OF THE NEWS, STREETLAMP. YES, SIR. HEAD. WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? WHAT IS OUR RECOMMENDATION? OKAY SO WE'RE BUDGETED AND THAT'S ACTUALLY THE INPUT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO GET FROM THE COUNCIL. SO BASICALLY, WE'RE CITIES PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL MID BLOCK LIGHT, MEANING ADDITIONAL, LIKE OUTSIDE OF THE LIMITS OF THE GUIDELINES. THERE IS SOME COST PARTICIPATION. YOU KNOW, ON THE PART OF THE REQUESTER. WHAT'S THE COST? PETITION PARTICIPATION IN TERMS OF ROAD UP? AH ACTUALLY , THEY HAVE TO PAY THE FULL COST OF THE ROAD. YES PERCENT OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS PARTICULAR STREET MUST SIGN A PETITION AND AGREE TO THAT. 90% PARTICIPATION. IN TERMS OF APPROVAL ON THE PETITION. IT'S 100% PARTICIPATION BECAUSE. RECALL THAT CORRECT, CORRECT.
OKAY I'M JUST THINKING TO MYSELF. BIG CITIES GOT 200,000 SEAFOOD MEMBERS, LONGSTANDING.
EXCELLENCE AND MUNICIPAL SERVICES AND THAT SORT OF THING SO UM. I WAS THINKING OUR CASE AT LEAST 80. YES, SIR. OKAY YES , SIR. SO SO WE GOT ANYWHERE FROM 100 TO 2 THIRDS TO ONE OF
[00:20:09]
THEM SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T ADDRESS, YOU KNOW. THE COST PARTICIPATION OF THE RESIDENTS.YES, JUST LONG AS LIONS AND STUFF. BROKEN POLICY ONE OF THE BAG WALL POLICY TO DO WE BUDGET WHAT'S THE COST? PARTICIPATION NOW? OKAY SO THE BACK WALL POLICY IS CURRENTLY UNFUNDED THIS YEAR, BUT IT'S A 50 50. BUT ACTUALLY, I THINK WE BUDGET ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO $100,000 A YEAR WHEN WE DID YOU KNOW, HAVE FUNNY IN THE BUDGET. BUT THE WALLS ARE GENERALLY SO EXPENSIVE UNTIL YOU KNOW THERE. A FAIR FEW TAKERS. OKAY SO MID BLOCK SPACING CURRENTLY UNLESS A BLOCK IS 1000 FT OR GREATER. POLICY WOULDN'T CALL FOR A MID BLOCK LIFE. SO IT'S A GIVEN, YOU KNOW , AT INTERSECTIONS THAT THERE WOULD BE, UH, YOU KNOW, LIGHTING A STREET LIGHT. BUT IF IT'S LESS THAN 1000 FT UNLESS THERE WAS A SITUATION WITH A SHORT TURN OR SOMETHING ELSE LIKE THAT, THAT WOULD CALL FOR ADDITIONAL LIFE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC. IT WOULDN'T QUALIFY. SO OTHER CITIES THAT WERE SURVEYED . I MEAN, THEY'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THEIR MINIMUMS. YOU GOT ANYWHERE FROM, YOU KNOW 100 AND 80 FT MINIMUM. TO THE 500. IT'S REALLY. THINK OF ANY REASON THAT MIGHT HELP FOR THE DISPARITY. NO IF IT WAS MORE UNIFORM. YOU KNOW? YEAH, THERE WAS MORE RHYME OR REASON. BE THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE COMMUNITY. YEAH NUMBER OF HOUSES IN THE COMMUNITY THAT AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY THAT'S TRUE. OKAY? AND THEN IT COULD BE THE HE COULD. NO BRAKES BREAK OUT TO THE BUDGET. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY IS AVAILABLE? BECAUSE THIS ALL BOILS DOWN TO FUND AS WELL. SO ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT COULD BE 10 CRITICAL ASPECT OF THE CITY. I DON'T WE RECEIVED COMMENTS ABOUT MY CITY. MY STREET IS SO DARK AND THEN OTHER PEOPLE COME BACK AND SAY, DON'T MAKE IT LIGHTER BECAUSE WE HAVE OWLS. AND WE HAVE OTHER NOCTURNAL CREATURES PREFER IN THE DARK, SO IT'S TWO SIDES SO SOME OF THESE CITIES COULD HAVE AN ECOLOGICAL IMPACT. TO SAY THAT THE NOCTURNAL ANIMALS AND WILDLIFE AND SO FORTH PREFERRED PARTNER SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A GREATER SPACE NOW. THAT'S TRUE, TOO, AND THEN HISTORICAL HOW THEY SET THOSE PARAMETERS BECAUSE DON'T TOUCH ON THAT A BIT BECAUSE ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS RELATED TO SKY LIGHTING AND SO TOUCH ON THAT. OKAY SO WE WERE ALSO ASKED TO INCLUDE DEFINITIONS, YOU KNOW, IN OUR. IN ANY REVISIONS TO THE POLICY, AND WE LOOKED AT OUR SURVEYS CITIES. MOST OF THEM DO NOT. CLEWISTON MAIN DOES, BUT IT JUST ALL DEPENDS UPON THE CONTENTS OF THE POLICY WHETHER OR NOT WE INCLUDE DEFINITIONS, BUT YOU KNOW ANYTHING IN THE POLICY NEEDS TO BE, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTOOD. SO DEPENDING UPON WHAT CHANGES OR REQUESTED WILL ADD DEFINITIONS AS WE NEED TO. OKAY SO THE PURPOSE OF THE CITY'S POLICY IS AS STATED. YOU KNOW THE BENEFIT OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC, NOT SECURITY LIGHTING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR PEDESTRIANS. AND OF THE CITIES. WE SURVEY LEWISTON'S MAIN HAD THAT YOU KNOW, SECURITY OF AUSTRIANS REDUCING LIGHT POLLUTION AH, PROMOTING ENERGY CONSERVATION AS PURPOSES SO, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY WOULD NEED TO ENTERTAIN EVERY SEED FEEDBACK FROM THE COUNCIL REGARDING YOU KNOW IF WE WANT TO MAKE ANY REVISIONS TO THE PURPOSE. UM. HE WAS ALSO REQUESTED THAT STREETSCAPE LIGHTING AVIATION'S BE ADDED TO THE POLICY. SO MOST OF THE CITY SURVEY DO HAVE SOME FORM OF STREETSCAPE. LIGHTING EITHER IN THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR THEIR DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES. OR THEIR STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN, AND SO THIS IS
[00:25:08]
SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER. WHEN WE AMEND OUR A COP. COUPLE PLAN AND OUR ZONING ORDINANCE. NOT AS ONLY AN ORDINANCE BUT SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES AND SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS. I KNOW THAT PLANNING, UH, WILL BE SHARING WITH YOU ALL. WOULDN'T THERE BE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE THOROUGHFARES PLAYING IN THE STREET ESCAPE MASK ALLIANCE? THERE COULD BE. YES, SIR. YES SO STREETSCAPE LIGHTING IS MORE THAN JUST THE ROAD SURFACE HIMSELF, YOU KNOW IS THE SIDEWALKS THE, UH YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE OF A INSTEAD TICK. TO PROVIDE CHARACTER, YOU KNOW, TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. OKAY SO THIS IS THE DARK SKY LIGHTING. THAT THE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO REDUCE LIKE LIGHT POLLUTION. AND TARGET LIGHTING TO WHERE IT'S NEEDED.AND SO THIS WAS ALSO REQUESTED. AND ACTUALLY, WITHIN OUR CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE, THERE ARE PROVISIONS. FOUR DARK SKY LIGHTING AS IT RELATES TO NEW DEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSIONS. BUT IT IS SOMETHING YOU KNOW THIS IS YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS COMING, YOU KNOW? AWAY. QUESTION DO WE HAVE ANY HYPER MORE AND MORE ABOUT THIS THAN I PROBABLY LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. I MEAN NOTHING ABOUT THIS, BUT IT ALL MAKES GOOD SENSE. UM, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT ON COURSE, PLUGGED INTO AS WELL. THAT'S THE OTHER QUARTER OF THE EQUATION.
BECAUSE IF WE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THEN YEAH, WE WOULD HAVE TO GEAR UP WITH ENCORE. IN ORDER TO IF YOU KNOW EFFECT THESE CHANGES. THANK YOU STARTED. THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL, AND SO THEY INCENTIVIZED COMMUNITIES ACTUALLY STATES TO DEVELOP A CLIMATE ACTION PLAN ON CLIMATE ACTION PLAN. THE INTEREST AREAS TO INCLUDE THE POLLUTION FROM THE LIGHTS AS WELL AS OTHER TYPES OF POLLUTION. AND SO EACH STATE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES WOULD COME THROUGH IN DEPTH. THIS CLIMATE ACTION SOME CITIES WENT BACK, AND THEY ALSO ADAPTED TO CLIMATE ACTION PLAN AND WITHIN THAT PLAN FOCUSED ON SOME OF THESE AREAS. THE STATE OF TEXAS IS DONE A LITTLE BIT, BUT AS A CITY WE HAVEN'T STARTED DOING THAT. I KNOW SOME OF THE CITY'S I'VE LOOKED AT HAVE THE PLANS, AND THEY FOCUS ON THE TYPE OF FUELS AND WHAT TYPE OF FUEL EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS WE DON'T AND IT'S REALLY A COMMUNITY BASED ACTIVITY WHERE THE COMMUNITY GETS TOGETHER AND PUT TOGETHER. AND THE COMEDIANS LOOKING. WHAT ARE THE LONG TERM 10 YEAR PLAN OF HOW WE START TO DO THIS DARK SKY LIGHTING IS VERY POPULAR IN HILLY AREAS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU LOOK IN MEXICO AND EVEN IN THE HILLS OF CALIFORNIA. A LOT OF FOLKS ARE FOCUSING ON IT BECAUSE THEY'RE STARTING TO TALK ABOUT NOT ONLY THE SOLUTION TO THE I, BUT AS WE'VE HEARD HERE, THERE'S SOME CITIZENS WHO FEEL THAT THERE IS THE IMPACT OF THE LIGHTS THAT IT'S HAVING ON THEM. SO, YOU KNOW. IT HELPS WHEN YOU HAVE THE FULL CUT OFF, CUT OFF LIGHTING AND HELPS, YOU KNOW TO SEE THE STORES. YOU KNOW THAT. AESTHETICS IDEA. JUST I GREW UP WITH THIS, UM SOUTHERN ARIZONA. TO SIDE WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA IS ONE OF THE SPECIALIZED UNIVERSITY. IN THE WORLD FOR ASTRONOMY. AND SO WHEN I GREW UP IN THE CITY, WHERE LIGHTING HAS BEEN DIFFUSED DOWNWARD FOR 60 70 YEARS THERE'S SOMETHING I GREW UP WITH, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT DARK SKIES WHEN WE CAN DO HERE IS MORE FOR THE NOCTURNAL WILDLIFE. IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT THE SKYLIGHT BECAUSE ASTRONOMY ANYTHING APART. IN THE MOOD. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING I WAS WELL AWARE OF, UH, GROWING UP. NOT ONLY NOT ONLY THE WRENCH IN THAT, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW OF IN CITY OF FLAGSTAFF OBSERVATORY, LOCATED AS A LONGSTANDING SEE WHAT POLICY NOT SKIES. THERE'S NOT ALLOW CERTAIN KINDS OF TROUBLE. RIGHT OUTSIDE OF TUCSON PICKUP SERVICE.
KEEPING THEM. SO IT'S. BUT IT'S A MATTER OF WHERE IT EVOLVED INTO AROUND A LONG TIME. IT'S BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME. MR MATTER WITH THE SURF CITY TO REDUCING SKYLIGHT. NO, IT'S TIME TO HEAR FROM THE COUNCIL. WHAT. WHAT DO YOU ALL DESIRE? YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED. THANK YOU. FIRST OF ALL. I REALLY WANNA THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ALL THIS INFORMATION
[00:30:09]
TOGETHER BECAUSE IT IS. IT'S WAY MORE THAN I GIVING YOU AND SO YOU KNOW, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I CAN JUST COPY THAT RELATED BACK TO. YEAH. INDIVIDUALS.AMBASSADOR. THIS. AND THEN SECOND OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THE THIS WAS AGAIN IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS HAD ABOUT LIGHTING ISSUES. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT THE RESPONSE OF POLICY IS VERY RESTRICTED. AND SO THIS IS KIND OF OPPORTUNITY. LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMEONE'S RESTRICTIONS. I MEAN, A LOT OF THOSE THINGS. I MEAN, DOGS, START POLICY AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. WOW. THAT'S KIND OF LONG TERM IMPLEMENTATION OF THINGS YOU DON'T DO OVERNIGHT. BUT YOU KNOW, WE REVISE THE POLICY WHEN WE'RE READY TO DO THOSE THINGS.
YOU WON'T BE RESTRICTED. ONE OF THE KEY FACTORS I THINK GOES BACK TO MR HARVEY'S QUESTION IS HOW DO WE BLESS THE MATTER OF COST. DO WE DOING? MIRROR WHAT WE DO WITH ROAD HUBS. OR IS IT GOING TO BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT? AND THAT WAS. THAT WAS THE ONE SUGGESTION BIGGEST ISSUE ON THE PLATE REALLY SHARED COSTS. I MEAN, JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES WHAT THEY'VE DONE. BUT AGAIN. THE RECOMMENDED CHANGES OR JUST GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY IF WE WANT DO SOMETHING. I'VE HEARD DIFFERING OPINIONS FROM PEOPLE I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WEATHERS. LTD LIGHTING BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIKE THAT. WE HAVE A LOT OF TREES, AND SO EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE LIGHTING THAT GETS QUOTE, FAIR, THEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE LIVE IN AREAS WHERE THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT CRIME. UM AND SO THEY'RE IN FAVOR OF MORE LINING. SO NOBODY WRITING NOBODY WRONG IN THIS, BUT IT WOULD SEEM AS THOUGH WE KIND OF TAKE THE TEMPERATURE OF OUR COMMUNITY. OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR. I MEAN, YOU'VE ALREADY GOT A HEAD START THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN. PROVIDING POLICY . BUT WHAT'S THE OVERALL THINKING ABOUT BECAUSE. ONCE YOU ONCE YOU ALLOW OUTSIDE OF THE NORMS YOU ALLOW EXTRA STREETLIGHTS. ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD MAY ASK FOR THE SAME THING. AND PRETTY SOON WE MAY HAVE AN ABUNDANCE CITIES REQUEST. MAYBE NOT. IF THE COST STAYS WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE, UM, BUT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO REACH UP PUBLIC AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE FEEL OVERALL CITYWIDE. ABOUT INCREASING. STREET LIGHTING AND IT WOULD GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO. LET HER KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE OTHER OPTIONS, TOO. HAVE EFFICIENT LIGHTING. THAT'S BETTER THAN OUR SODIUM LIGHTING, I THINK IS WHAT WE HAVE A BOAT. WHAT CITY SEVERAL REASONS WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THE PUBLIC THROUGH SOME COMMUNICATIONS. ANOTHER ASPECT OF THIS IS THAT. WE HAVE TO BRING IN THE COST SOMEWHERE. SURE. WHY ARE WE HAVE DEFINED WHAT WE DO WITH OUR LIGHTING? IT'S ALL ABOUT MOTOR SAFETY. IF WE BRING INTO THE FACTORY, PEDESTRIAN SAFETY FOR SAFETY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BRING IN DIFFERENT PARAMETERS IN TERMS OF SPACING THOSE LIGHTS IN DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS IN TERMS OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY FEELS THEIR PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD FIRE. OR THEY ARE DESIROUS SUBMISSION, SAY BETTER REQUIRED. SO POSSIBLY COLD. WALK AWAY FROM THIS TONIGHT, NOT GIVE YOU ANY ANSWERS. OTHER THAN THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION WILL PONDER ON JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. I THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS WE HAVE. CAN WE PUT A SURVEY OUT AND GET SOME INFORMATION ON VERSUS AND THE BIBLE WEB SURVEY? YEAH. DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. JUST TO SEE TEMPERATURE. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY SYSTEMS FEEL ABOUT CHAIR BY HIM? BUT DOES THAT AFFECT SO HAVING MORE LIGHTS? HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THEM? POWER AS FAR AS AVERAGES WE HAVE POWER, BUT NO, I'M SERIOUS. I DON'T KNOW. OKAY? HOPEFULLY THE COST THE CITY PAYS FOR STREET POINTS, SO ONE OF THE THINGS CITIES HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. THEY DOWN THE STREET LIGHTS SURVEY BECAUSE WE STARTED TO DISCOVER THAT, IN SOME CASES PREPARING FOR MORE INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS HAS THE ABILITY TO REQUEST A LIGHT ON THEIRS, AND THEY PAY ON CAR DIRECTLY FOR THAT STREET LIGHTS UP THERE BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK IT'S AN IN FLIGHT. AND EVEN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS ACTUALLY CAN MAKE THE SAME. DECISION TO CONTRACT WITH ENCORE TO HAVE WHAT IS A LIKE THAT'S FUNNY, JUST LIKE THEIR ELECTRIC BILL. AND SO, FROM OUR STANDPOINT, WE NEED TO GET YOU A COUPLE OF THINGS IS WHAT DO WE PAY PER STREETLIGHT? IT'S NOT A WHOLE LOT, BUT THE QUESTION IS, IF WE MOVE FROM 1001 EVERY 500 FT. OF THE HOW MANY LIGHTS WE
[00:35:06]
HAVE. WHAT DOES THAT NUMBER LOOKS LIKE SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT COST LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE INSTALLATION COSTS THE COST ELECTRIC BILL ON EACH OF THOSE LIGHTS. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF I INFRASTRUCTURE THE NEW YORK BLACKOUT. WE GONNA LOVE TO GO OUT. GO OUT. CONCERNED ABOUT OVERLOADING MODA. GOING TO INCREASE THE COST. MHM BE A BUDGET ABOUT FOR POWER. WHAT IS THE STRESS ON THE GRID? PROBABLY NEGLIGIBLE CONSIDERING THE SIZE OF OUR CITY, BUT THERE IT IS, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT BROWNOUTS AND BLACKOUTS, THOSE THINGS KIND OF CRAZY. IT COULD BE AN IMPOSSIBLE SECTOR AS WELL. SO THEY ARE GOING COST, UH, STREET LIGHTS. WHOLE TIME IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON OUR ABILITY TO FIND PUPPET SERVICE, RIGHT? WHICH IS A BURDEN ON THE TAXPAYER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU TALKING ABOUT A SCENARIO WHERE REVISE THE POLICY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN PLAYING STREET LIGHTING. 250 FT. MY GREG ARNIE ALLUDED TO TIMES A LOT OF. LOT OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PEOPLE WANTING LIGHTING AND NOT WANTING IT, SO IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S KIND OF A CASE BY CASE SITUATION. CITIZEN MAKES REQUESTS AND GIVEN THE POLICY AND SAY, BY THE WAY, YOU GOTTA PAY FOR YOUR BROTHER THOUGHT OF BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MAY BE LOOKING AT IT AS TRAFFIC SAFETY AND OTHERS ARE LOOKING AT IT. I KNOW FOR SURE AND SAFETY, JUST WALKING THROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON OUTSIDE. SO THAT'S WHY I THINK THE IDEA THAT WE PASS ON THIS INFORMATION AND SOME OF THESE AND THEN ASK FOR FEEDBACK.ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE FEEL BECAUSE I THINK IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE'RE GOING TO GET DIFFERENT RESPONSES ABOUT MY ONE MORE LIGHT FOR CRIME. I WANT MORE LIGHTS FOR SAFETY BECAUSE WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT SPEEDING CARS. UM IT WOULD JUST BE INTERESTING TO SEE IN MY OPINION, BE INTERESTING TO SEE IT'S A GOOD DISCUSSION. GOOD PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. BUT I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT HERE. NOW THAT WE CAN PASS ON TO THE PUBLIC AND GET SOME GET SOME FEEDBACK. WE ASK, AND SO WHAT WE'LL DO WITH RALPH SINCE WE'RE IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON. KICKING IT OUT IN JANUARY. SURE FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL OF QUESTIONS. WE'LL GET A DRAFT OF SOME QUESTIONS TO YOU AND SEND IT OUT VIA EMAIL FOR FEEDBACK, AND OUR GOAL WOULD BE TO ROLL IT OUT AROUND THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND THEN GET FOLKS ABOUT A MONTH OR SO TO RESPOND AND THEN BRING BACK THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY. VERY WELL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOT HIM TO BE DISCUSSION OF MORTGAGES AND PERTAINED TRAILER PARK. ASSISTANT CHIEF FREED THANKS. GETTING MAYOR COUNCIL CITY MANAGER. UM SO TONIGHT I'M GOING TO COVER OUR TRAILER PARKING COORDINATES HIGHLIGHTS ISSUES WE HAVE WITH OUR CURRENT ORDINANCES PROVIDE THE COUNCIL SOME CONSIDERATIONS GOING FORWARD AND THEN ASK FOR DIRECTIONS. WHAT YOU MAY BE LOOKING TO RESTRICT IN THE TRAILER PARK. CONSERVATIVE. BRIEF HISTORY IN 2014. WE ADMITTED ORDINANCES TO ADDRESS THE GARDEN PARTIES, UM AND YOU'LL SEE THIS MEASUREMENT 11 BODIES BY 36 COME UP FROM THE ORDINANCES LATER. OH AS YOU WELL KNOW, WE CONSTANTLY RECEIVE CALLS OF ILLEGAL TRAILER PARKING. TRAILERS BLOCKING THE STREETS. AND SO OUR OFFICERS ARE AT THE RESPONDING TO THESE COSTS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE BEST. INFORMATION AVAILABLE. THE ORDINANCES ARE UP TO DATE, ALLOW THEM TO RESPOND BEST TO OUR CITIZENS FOUND THE ORDINANCES AND WE HAVE RIGHT NOW ARE CURRENTLY THEY DO CONTRADICT EACH OTHER HERE IN JUST A SEC.
SO AGAIN. YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THESE PICTURES BEFORE. JUST EXAMPLES OF CALLS THAT WE RESPOND TO DIFFERENT TRAILERS, WHETHER IT BE RV BOAT TRAILER PUMP UP TRAILERS. UM BUT THIS IS WHAT OUR OFFICERS RESPONDING TO, UM NOT ON A DAILY BASIS, AND WE GET THE CALLS. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE COMING UP. SO OUR CURRENT ORDINANCES, THE ONES THAT DEAL WITH TRAILER PARKING, UM THE 1ST 1 19-1 15. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO DEAL WITH SEMI TRAILERS, TRACTOR TRAILERS, HOWEVER, THE WORD TRAILER BY DEFINITION IS WITHIN THAT POINT . UM IT MAKES IT UNLAWFUL TO PARK ANY TRAILER WITHIN THE CITY UNLESS IT'S IN AN AREA ZONE WANT ITUNES? ALSO THOSE ARE OUTDATED, OUTDATED ZONING AREAS AS WE RECENTLY CHANGED NOW, WE'RE JUST HAVING INDUSTRIALS UM 1916 CONTRADICTS 15 AND ALLOWS FOR PARKING FOR TRAILERS AS WELL AS OUR THESE ARE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AS LONG AS IT'S NOT WITHIN HIS ONSLAUGHT LARGER THAN THAT. EIGHT BY 11 BY 36 LOOKING AT OTHER CITIES, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH BOILERPLATE. SIZES AND I BELIEVE THAT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TWO TRAILERS PARKED THAT WAY. YOU CAN GET A FIRE APPARATUS IN BETWEEN. SO THE CITIES THAT
[00:40:01]
HAVE, UM HIGH RESTRICTIONS. IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, UM, JUST THE SAME HEIGHT. WITH CITY BUSSES. UM 1 61 AGAIN RESTRICTS PARKING OF ANY TRAILER ON STREETS. EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED TRUCK ROUTES. THERE'S 29. AGAIN. THAT WAS MEANT MAINLY FOR TRACTOR TRAILERS, BUT IT TALKS ABOUT TRAILERS AS WELL. SO LOOKING AT OTHER CITIES, CEDAR HILLS, RESTRICT PARKING AND TRAILERS UNLESS THEY'RE HITCHED TO A MOTOR VEHICLE. SOTO ALLOW VEHICLES OR TRAILERS AND EXCEED THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING OF Ā£14,000. FRISCO DOESN'T ALLOW PARKING OF VEHICLES TRAILERS FOR MORE THAN THREE HOURS. SO THE POTENTIAL ISSUES FOR THOSE FOR CEDAR HILL IT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE PARKING OF CERTAIN TRAILERS . IF THEY'RE UNATTACHED TO VEHICLES. MAYBE IT MIGHT BE. THEY'RE MOVING, SO IT'S UNHITCHED. UM SOTO MONSTER TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT THAT G GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING FOR THE MANUFACTURERS. CERTIFICATIONS ARE IN FRISCO SPEAKING WITH THEM , THEY HAVE AN ENTIRE PARKING UNIT DEDICATED STRICTLY TO THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT MANPOWER BECAUSE IF IT'S MORE THAN THREE HOURS, THEY'LL GET A CALL.THEY'LL GO OUT THERE, EITHER. CHOCK THE TIRES WILL NOTE THE TIME THEY'LL COME BACK THREE HOURS LATER, BUT THEY HAVE THE PERSONNEL TO DO THAT. WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT PERSONNEL. SO POTENTIAL ISSUE IF YOU'RE LOOKING, YOU'RE GOING THAT ROUTE. SOME CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE LIKE TO BRING BEFORE YOU APPOINTMENT. YES, SIR. IN ANY OF THOSE. ORDINANCES ARE THEIR DIMENSIONS THAT ARE SIDE UM, THAT HAS NO NO FRISCO HAS DIMENSIONS. ETCETERA HAS DIMENSIONS. MOST CITIES HAVE DIMENSIONS, AND IT'S THOSE THAT DIMENSION IS STILL FOCUSED ON THAT 40 FOOTER. THAT 53 DIMENSION THAT YOU SEE IS FOCUSED ON I THINK IT WAS 36.
YEAH, SO NOTHING MORE THAN 36 WEEKS. OKAY WE NEED TO KIND OF PLANT THAT IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A TRAILER. THEY'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING LESS THAN 36 IS STILL GONNA BE OKAY. YES. YES, OKAY. CONSIDERATIONS A. YES SIR. JUST A CLARIFICATION ON THAT.
YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE ONE OF YOUR EARLY SCREENS WHERE WE HAVE THREE DIMENSIONS. 11 36, RIGHT. THAT'S THE ONE YOU NEED, KILLING THE LARGER TRAILERS. OF COURSE, EVERYBODY'S CONCERNED ABOUT 18 WHEELERS, PARKING ON THE STREET, AND THAT'S DEALT WITH IN A DIFFERENT WAY. BUT THOSE RIGHT THERE WERE, UH, WERE NUMBERS THAT THEY CAME UP WITH WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD WOULD LEGALLY PARKED WITH YOUR RIGHT. LEFT HAND RIGHT HAND TIRES 18 INCHES FROM THE CURB, BECAUSE THAT'S THE LAW. SO IF YOU'RE AT THE EXTREME 18 INCHES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET WHAT CAUSES OUR FIRE APPARATUS SCHOOL BUSSES. AS PART AND GARBAGE TRUCK TO BE ABLE NOT TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THERE. AND THOSE WERE THE DIMENSIONS THAT WERE TESTED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH VEHICLES THAT THEY PLACED ON THE STREET. AND THEY BROUGHT THE APPARATUS HERE. SO THOSE ARE REALLY PROVEN OUT AND I DON'T THINK THEY GET OUTDATED. THAT THAT IS A CRITICAL PART OF THIS ORDINANCE . UH, I THINK WE NEED TO FOCUS ON YES. UM CONSIDERATIONS POINT IN TIME ORDINANCE. UM THIS WAS GONNA PROVIDE CLARIFICATION OFFICER FOR ENFORCEMENT. WHETHER THAT BE NO TRAILER PARKING AFTER A CERTAIN TIME IN THE NIGHT THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO USE TRAILERS DURING THE DAY. THINK UNLOAD LOAD ALLOWS FOR YORKERS YOUR MAINTENANCE WORKERS TO HAVE THEIR TRAILERS OUT. UM ANOTHER CONSIDERATION IS JUST RESTRICT ALL TRAILER PARK AND WITHIN RESIDENTIAL AREAS. YOU CAN ALSO BUILD IN EXEMPTIONS FOR THAT, FOR AGAIN TEMPORARY LOADING AND LOADING, WHICH WOULD SPEAK TO THOSE PEOPLE TRYING TO DO BUSINESS EMERGENCY VEHICLES, OBVIOUSLY OR ANYTHING USED BY THE CHURCH, STEVE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY, OR THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE. THE OPTION OF JUST KEEPING ACCORDANCE IS AS THE ORDINANCES AS THEY ARE, BUT AGAIN. THEY ARE CONTRADICTORY RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO OFFICERS. CITIZENS IF THEY'RE GOING OUT, THEY MIGHT HAVE ONE. OFFICER. LOOK AT PARTICULAR ORDINANCE AND SAY, OKAY, YOU CAN'T PARK THE TRAILER HERE. BUT THEN ANOTHER OFFICER LOOKS AT THE ORDINANCE BELOW THAT NOT KNOWING AND THEN HE SAYS, OKAY, YOU CAN I'M SORRY. JUST LOOKING FOR DIRECTION AND CONSIDERATIONS OF WHAT IS IT THAT THE COUNCIL WANTS TO RESTRICT? WE'LL GO FORWARD FROM THERE. HOW ABOUT THE FIRST STEP IS TO Y'ALL TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S CONTRADICTORY AND ELIMINATE THE CONTRADICTIONS? WE HAVE STUFF FIGHTING AGAINST EACH OTHER. IT SEEMS LIKE THE BEST THING TO RESOLVE THAT FIRST, AND THEN WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THE REST OF THE PIECES OF THE GAVE BY 11 36. FOCUS ON BASICALLY WHAT IT WAS BETTER THAN 53 FOOTER, WHICH ARE THE SEMI TRAILERS. ACTUALLY TWENTIES FORTIES AND 53 59 OUT THERE NOW. IT'S ILLEGAL 59 FT TRAILER. HOLD BY ANYTHING TRACKER. OF COURSE, IS NEVER GOING ALLOWED ON EVERYTHING. SO JUST ELIMINATE SOME OF THOSE CONTRADICTIONS. PHASE OUT. WHATEVER IS BAD FOR US BRING BACK SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT AND SAY WHERE WE DO THIS AND AT THE SAME TIME, MINIMIZE THE
[00:45:03]
STAFF HAVING TO REWORK THIS. SO MUCH TIME ON SOMETHING THAT'S UNENFORCEABLE, BUT SOME TEETH IN IT SO IT IS ENFORCEABLE AND GET RID OF THE PIECES THAT ARE ON THEIR OFFICES AND I DON'T WANT TO DO IS HAVE YOU GUYS HAVE ISSUES OF I KNOW ONE OF THE BULLETS WAS THAT THE OFFICER HAS TO BE ABLE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ORGANIST. DEGREE THAT THINK ABOUT TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THEY'RE BASICALLY CITING THE LAW ORDINANCE. NOTICE. THINK SO. BUT YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT KIND OF CLEAN THOSE THINGS OUT FIRST. YES, SIR. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? WELL, NO, I THINK THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH. WE AT SOME POINT AS A COUNCIL, I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR COMMUNITIES WANT IN TERMS OF ALLOWING STORAGE OF. UM A LOT OF TIMES UNUSED CAMPER TRAILERS, CAMPERS , UTILITY TRAILERS AND BOATS, TRAILERS AND LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD PREFER TO PUT THEM OUT IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE AND TAKE DRIVEWAY SPACE, BUT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MATCH UP WITH WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WANTS. WHEN THEY REALIZED WE'VE OPENED STORAGE ON A PUBLIC STREET. HE'S EXACTLY RIGHT THAT THESE ORDINANCES WERE BORN OUT OF THE 18 WHEEL TRUCK PROHIBITIONS. AND THEY JUST STUCK THEM TOGETHER DEFINITION. SUDDENLY, THESE. OTHER TRAILERS THAT I MENTIONED OR INCLUDED IN THERE, AND IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE OFFICERS TO WRITE A TICKET. WHEN THESE ORDINANCES AND THERE'S SEVERAL OF THEM, THERE'S NOT JUST ONE. THERE'S SEVERAL OF THEM THAT CONFLICT WERE SEEMINGLY COULD CONFLICT. YOU WORK HARD TO READ A TICKET. THEN YOU GO TO COURT AND THEY THROW IT OUT BECAUSE IT'S CONFLICTING WITH ANOTHER ORDINANCE. SO THAT YES, YOUR ADVICE THAT WE HAVE THEM CLEAN UP THE LANGUAGE AND GET THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT. BUT I THINK WE CERTAINLY SHOULD REVISIT BUT WE WANTED YOU SUGGESTED THIS THAT THAT WE GET BACK TO THEM WITH WHAT WE WANT RELATIVE TO WHAT WE WANT ARE REGULARLY ON OUR STREETS AND WHEN THE GREAT GRASS CUTTING GUYS AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE MOVING, YOU GOTTA LET THEM BE THERE. THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO WRITE IT, AND I'M SURE SOME OF THOSE OTHER AUDIENCES HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB OF WRITING THAT THAN US. IT SO THAT GOES SO THERE'S TWO PARTS OF THIS WAY, I SAID. CLEAR UP. THE LANGUAGE IS CAUSING THE CONFUSION ON THE TICKETS FOR THE ENFORCEMENT AND THEN WE CAN GET BACK TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO SEE ON THE STREETS. YES SIR. I'M SORRY.CLEAR WE ARE CLEARING THAT OF THE LANGUAGE, OBVIOUSLY TO REMOVE ANYTHING CONTRIBUTIONS WHILE WE'RE DOING THAT. WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO COME BACK AND SAY WE'VE CLEANED UP THE LANGUAGE. NOW. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO? WE'RE TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING IS THE LANGUAGE. YOU ALL THINK ONE FELL SWOOP. COME BACK WITH WHAT COUNSEL WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST GOING BACK. MCBURNETT CITY MANAGER YESTERDAY, MR GOOD POINT ABOUT TRY AND TRUE POINT OF HAVING A MEASURE TO KNOW VEHICLE GOING BY. AND IT SEEMS LIKE I KNOW, AT LEAST WITH THE FIRE EQUIPMENT. SO IF IT GETS LONGER NOW IS IT AIN'T GETTING WIDER AS WELL, TOO. AND EVERY TIME OKAY, SO. READY TO READ SOMETHING THAT PARTICULAR ASPECT OF THIS POTENTIAL THAT THAT MIGHT BE LOST. BUT I ASSUME HER LAWS THAT RESTRICT THE WIDTH OF THOSE VEHICLES COULD THE STREETS ARE ONLY SO WIDE. SO I MEAN, YOU GOT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE HERE VEHICLE HERE I STILL GOT TO BE ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE DOWN THERE WITH THAT THING. SO ANOTHER ASSESSMENT OF OUR EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO SEE WHAT THE WHIP LIKE WITH THE NEW QUIT, YOU KNOW WHERE THEY CAN LIKE VERSUS THE ALMOST THANK YOUR MAIN ISSUE IN A LOT OF THAT IS AS YOU GET READY TO TURN YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT REAR END KICKS OUT HIM WHEN YOU HAVE PARKING TOO CLOSE TO A CORNER WHERE IT KICKS AT. THAT'S HOW WE HAVE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS. THOSE KICK OUTS FROM THE REAR END. SO THE OTHER CONSIDERATION ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS, HIS YOU KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT PERTAINED IS DO YOU WANT PARKING ON TO ALLOW PARKING ON BOTH SIDES THE STREETS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, AS THESE VEHICLES ARE BIGGER, UH, THAT'S WHY IT IS THEY COULD BE GIVEN AN ORDINANCE. IF YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY PARKED ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT JUST REDUCES YOUR SPACE TO GET THROUGH. SO SOME CITIES HAVE GONE AS GONE THROUGH AND THEY SAID ON THE NORTH SIDE IS OUTSIDE THE EAST AND WEST.
WE'RE NOT GONNA FIND PARKING BUT THAT'S ANOTHER CONSIDERATION AND HMM. AGAIN IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD. YOU KNOW, FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THIS THE SPECIFIC DIMENSIONS THAT WE'RE SPEAKING OF. THEY ACTUALLY CAME UP BACK IN 2013 OR 2014. WE HAD A HARVEY DONALD GREEN HILLS AND THAT WAS VERY PROBLEMATIC FOR US, AND, UH, MR HAGAR'S OFFICE WORKED WITH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME CITIES THAT WILL ALLOW RV WAIVERS FOR SEVEN DAYS. WE DECIDED NOT TO GO WITH THAT BECAUSE I THINK THERE WAS SOME SPECIFIC PEOPLE IN TOWN THAT HAD OR MAYBE RELATIVES THAT
[00:50:05]
WOULD COME IN. IT'S WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANT US TO FOCUS ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS. THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE OPTIONS STANDARD STAIN. OKAY THINKING ABOUT OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE THINGS, RIGHT ? UM WITH THE PERSPECTIVE, WHAT CAN BE ENFORCED? I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE DON'T SEND OFFICERS OUT OF BRUCE CHASES, YOU KNOW, TO TAKE CHASE AFTER SOMETHING THAT IS UNENFORCEABLE. WRITING SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ENFORCEABLE AND SURVEY YOUR OWN DEPARTMENTS. CERTAINLY LAW ENFORCEMENT. YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING OFFICERS AND SAY, WHAT CAN THEY THINK? WRITING SOMETHING THAT I CAN ACTUALLY ENFORCE, BUT I HAVE TO WHEN I GO OUT ON THE CAR LIKE SOMETHING BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT A HAMSTRING THEM. HANDCUFFED.AND FORTUNATELY WE DON'T WANT. WE DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A PROBLEM FOR A LONG PERSONAL OFFICERS AFTER INTERPRET THE LAW. BUT THAT VIDEO EVEN INPUT FROM YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. CITY MANAGER THINK. WE ACTUALLY RUNNING A BOARDING AND SO WE'VE ALREADY DEVELOPED AN ORDINANCE.
THE REASON WE BROUGHT IT BACK BECAUSE THE COUNCIL WANTED TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE ORDINANCE, AND MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE SPECIFICS THAT WERE IN THE ORDINANCE ALSO FOR THIS DISCUSSION, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY HAD DONE. THEY HAD DRAFTED ONE AND WE SEE IF WE NEEDED TO TALK ABOUT IT SOME MORE. SO I DON'T KNOW. IF THERE IS A CITY MANAGER ORIGINAL ORDINANCE, IT WAS THE POINT IN TIME. CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE RECOMMENDED 11 PM TRAILER PARKING AFTER 11 PM SO WE'VE ALREADY DONE THAT WORK AND THAT'S WHAT WE BROUGHT TO YOU IMPROVE. WE GOT TO THE APPROVAL COUNCIL SEVERAL MIGHT NEED TO WORKSHOP BECAUSE WE MIGHT WANT TO HAVE MORE TEETH TO IT. SO I GUESS THE QUESTION WE ASK IS WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE. SO WHAT YOU'D LIKE FOR US TO DO IS TAKE THAT ORDINANCE AND ADD SOME MORE TEETH TO IT. SO WHAT'S THAT? NEXT UP FOR US? I REMEMBER THAT 11 PM MENTIONING. I CAN'T AGREE WITH THAT. YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE VISITORS. WE HAVE GUESTS COME INTO TALENT. THEY'VE GOT SOMETHING GOING TO MAKE A MOVE IT AFTER 11 PM WITH THEIR SLEEPING LIKE I THINK EVEN THAT ASPECT OF IT IS UNREASONABLE. BEFORE WE'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF CITING PARTICULAR LIKE A POP UP TRAILER OR ARMY FOR A PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME VISITING 12 STATES AWAY SAYING, YOU GOTTA MOVE IT AFTER 11. PM IT JUST HAS TO BE CAREFUL . THE PARTS WHERE THERE IS A PERMITTING PROCESS. THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY. YEAH THAT BECAUSE WHAT THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU WANT SOMEONE TO I USED MY MOTHER AND SHE HAS 1/5 WHEEL. DO YOU WANT HER FIFTH WHEEL? FINALLY ON YOUR STRENGTH. SO THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VISITOR VERSUS THE LONG TERM AND SO WE HAVE SOME LONG TERM AND THEN WE HAVE SOME TEMPORARY. AND SO THE QUESTION FOR COUNCIL IS HOW STRINGENT OR EVERYTHING HAS A WAY TO GET AROUND IT. AND SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS CREATE SOMETHING OR ADD SOMETHING TO IT. THAT GIVES THE DISCRETION WHERE THEY CAN ACTUALLY APPLY SO THAT WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A PERMITTED USE FOR A SET POINT TIME. THAT'S NOT THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, BUT MR COMES SO FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS VISITING. JUST IN THAT POTENTIAL SCENARIOS SOMEBODY WOULD VISIT. LET'S GO GET PERMANENT SPECIAL COMMISSIONER FOR JUST ONE NIGHT. AND THEN THAT DOES SOME CITIES DO THAT THINKING IS NOT A REASON THAT'S SO WANT TO GO THERE. SOMEONE TO ASK. WHEN YOU GET CALLS. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S SUCKING NATURE CALLS. TYPICALLY CALLS AFTER 11 PM SOMEBODY'S PART OF THE TRAILER. TYPICALLY, THE CALLS ARE DURING THE DAY, SOMETHING THAT THEY BLOCKING THE ROAD OR MIGHT BE COMMUNICATION FROM STAFFS. MY EMAIL COUNSELING THAT GETS FILTERED DOWN TO US. HEY, THIS TRAILER'S REPORTER A FEW DAYS AGO, CHECK ON IT WILL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OWNER TROT, OBVIOUSLY TO GET THE MOVEMENT FIRST. MOST OF THESE ORDINANCES. WE'RE NOT GOING OUT THERE LOOKING FOR THESE THINGS WERE BEING TOLD ABOUT US. WE'RE GOING OUT ON OUR FIRST OPTION. ALWAYS IS THE OWNER AND SAY, HEY, YOU MIND MOVING? THIS IS CAUSING AN ISSUE. WE DON'T WANT TO BE OUTSIDE INDIVIDUAL CITING OUR CITIZENS, JUST GRABBING TRAILERS. WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO MOVE. SO WE ALWAYS HAVE THAT CONVERSATION FIRST CAUSE DAYTIME. CITIZEN INITIATED RATHER THAN OFFICERS. ABSOLUTELY MY OFFICE GETS TONS OF CALLS FROM CITIZENS COUNCILS ASKED THE MAYOR. THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THE ISSUE FOR US WAS WE ARE LIMITED ON WHAT WE CAN DO. WE HAVE TO RESPOND. WELL, THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO. THAT'S WHY WE BROUGHT THIS IS BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE IT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. WE CAN JUST TELL CITIZENS THAT WE DON'T HAVE A AND THAT'S OKAY TOO. BUT WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE EDUCATE FOLKS AND SAY THAT, YES, IT MAY BE AN EYESORE TO YOU. IT'S LIKE THE 18 WHEELERS ON THE INTERSTATE. YOU KNOW, WE GET CALLS ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. BUT THERE ARE SOME LAWS THAT SUPERSEDE US THAT LIMITS PEOPLE TO PARK $18 FOR THEIR PART, USING JUST ONE MORE NOTE. MY EXPERIENCE IS IF YOU'RE LOOKING
[00:55:04]
DOWN AT GREEN BAR SOMEBODY PUTS UP TRADER AFTER FEW DAYS ABOUT TRAILER. REPUBLIC TRAILERS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT'S HARDLY NOTICEABLE BECAUSE 90% OF THE CARS OUT THERE PARK IN THE BACK.THE MORE THEY HAVE COMPANY. IT'S NOT NOTICEABLE. ALL THOSE STREETS ARE THINK A LITTLE BIT OF WATER. FAIR MEADOWS OR CANDLELIGHT. THINK OF THOSE STREETS DURING THE DAY. I THINK ABOUT HIM AFTER FIVE O'CLOCK WHEN EVERYBODY COMES HOME NOW YOU'RE GOING TO ADD CAMPER TRAILER POP UP TRAILERS, TRAILERS FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME . YOU'RE ONLY YOU THINK YOU GET PHONE CALLS NOW ABOUT THE PROBLEMS UP THERE, BUT JUST TREATING YOUR DISTRICT THAT GOES FROM CENTER TO WE LEARNED THAT RUNS DOWN BY MALONE'S OFFICE. JUST SOUTH TO TABLE. GO DOWN THAT STREET BECAUSE IT'S GOT SOME BENDS IN IT AND LOOK AT THE CARS EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. LOOK HOW TIGHT THAT IS YOUR AD IN ALLOWING PEOPLE AT ANY TIME. APART. THESE TYPES OF TRAILERS. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT CREATING MORE PROBLEMS THAN YOU HAD BEFORE. SO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE POLICE ARE UP AGAINST, AND I WANT TO TRY TO HELP WITH THAT. BUT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE TRACK OF THE FACT THAT WE GOT SOME PRETTY TIGHT STREETS AND WE GET A LOT OF COMPLAINTS.
IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS. I MENTIONED NOT TO MENTION SOMETHING THAT I HAVEN'T MENTIONED JOHNSON STREET HEARD A LOT ABOUT THAT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. BUT PEOPLE BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE UP AND DOWN THERE AND OPEN UP YOUR CAR DOORS. IT'S ALL LEGAL PARKING, BUT IT'S MAXED OUT.
HOLLYWOOD WORK THE SAME WAY. SO YOU START ADDING TRAILERS TO THE NEXT. WE HAVE TO THINK THROUGH THAT VERY CAREFULLY WHAT WE WANT FOR THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD. ONE THING THAT, UM. THIS IS GONNA BE VERY CONTROVERSIAL TO SAY IT ANYWAY. IS THAT TRUMP MY EXPERIENCE LIVING IN EUROPE, SOME CITIES THAT HAVE STREETS THAT WERE BUILT IN THE 16 HUNDREDS, 17 HUNDREDS AND 18 HUNDREDS. THERE IS NO ROOM TO GO ANYWHERE. THEY AUTHORIZED PARKING ON SIDEWALKS. AND I'M THINKING OF SOME OF THE STREETS OPEN DISTRICT FIVE. THEY WERE BUILT. WHAT 40 50 60 YEARS AGO.
PEOPLE ARE PARKING THEIR CARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET WHEN THEY COME HOME FROM WORK. I DON'T THINK ONE OF OUR EMERGENCY VEHICLES COULD MAKE IT THROUGH ONE OF THOSE STREETS. ONE OF THE REALLY OUTLINED CONSIDERATIONS LOOKING IN TERMS OF SAFETY. TO OUR EMERGENCY CREWS IS SHOULD WE CONSIDER SOME TYPE OF. ALLOWING PARKING ON THE SIDEWALK AFTER A CERTAIN TIME SO THAT WE CAN MITIGATE THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF HAVING AN EMERGENCY VEHICLES CAN'T GET WITH IT TO GO. THAT WAS IT WAS CONTROVERSIAL, AND WE HAVEN'T ORDINANCE RIGHT NOW. IT SAYS YOU'RE PARKED ON THE SIDEWALK WE'RE GONNA DO YOU GOT THAT ONE. BUT I'M LOOKING AT DRIVEN UP AND DRINK. JUST FIND IT NIGHT SEVERAL TIMES IT CITIZENS REQUEST TO SEE HOW TIGHT IT REALLY IS. A NEW CARS CANNOT GO. NO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS ON SOME OF THOSE STREETS AT NIGHT. IT'S TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE. SOMEBODY HAS TO BE MOVING. YOU MIGHT RUN INTO SOME MEDIA ISSUES AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. IF YOU'RE TRYING TO GET IT, GET IT. I KNOW IT SAID. I KNOW IT'S CONTRIBUTION. IT'S VERY, VERY COMPLICATED. BUT SOMEWHERE IN THIS MIX, WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THESE STREETS THAT ARE SO TIGHT CAT? TAKE YOUR CAR. BOTH SIDES LIKE CHIEF OF SAYING. DO WE ELIMINATE PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET? WHERE DID THEY GO? SO. JUST AS A REFERENCE. TODAY I WAS AND I DROVE BY HYDE PARK. AND THERE WAS A TRAILER THAT'S USED FOR SOME EVENT COMPANY. IT LOOKED LIKE UM, FAIRLY SMALL TRAILER. AND CLOSED. IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE FOR ONE OF THESE POP UP ENTERTAINMENT THINGS AND IT WAS CHALKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. YOU KNOW SOME OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND MARRIED KIND OF JUMPING THE HEAD, MAYBE TO DO SOMETHING, BUT LET'S JUST FIGHT THIS OFF A LITTLE BIT OF TIME. I MEAN, IF WE CAN GET THE ORDERS WHERE WE WANT IT, BUT LET'S DEAL WITH WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT TO SEE? WHAT DO YOU WHAT KIND OF CALLS DO YOU WANT TO FIELD? UM AND DO YOU WANT US TO FEEL WHEN WE GET THESE CALLS COME IN. AND OKAY, WELL, YOU KNOW THAT THAT IS LEGAL. UM OR NO? YEAH, WE CAN GET SOMEBODY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BE OUT THERE FOR THE STREET. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WHAT? AH ASSISTANT CHIEF FREEZE MENTIONED EARLIER. WE HAVEN'T IN THESE ORDINANCES WHERE WE TALK ABOUT TRACTOR TRAILERS. BUT THEN WE IT'S A COMMA AND WE TALKED ABOUT TRAILERS AND THEY'RE IN THE SAME MORNINGS. SO SOME OF IT I TALKED TO MR HAGAR. HEY, HOW ABOUT WE JUST DEFINE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE AND EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE. UM HE WASN'T SURE HE LIKED THAT IDEA BECAUSE YOU GET INTO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT WE CAN REVISIT THAT. BUT IF WE CAN PAINT THE PICTURE, Y'ALL PAINT THE PICTURE ON WHICH I WANT THESE RESIDENTIAL STREETS TO LOOK LIKE AND WE CAN WORK. THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE UNIQUE BECAUSE WE HAVE DIFFERENT SIZE STREETS. AND MAYBE A START FOR US BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID TO US IS THAT WE START WITH THE DEFINITION OF A STREET WITH AND YOU START TO DO A PROHIBITION. I MEAN, I KNOW IF SOMEONE'S COMING TO VISIT YOU,
[01:00:06]
BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE SOMEONE PULLING UP IN HOLLYWOOD ESTATES AND PARKING AND IT'S JUST NOT.IT'S NOT FEASIBLE. AND SO MAYBE WE CAN DEFINE IT BY THE SIZE OF THE STREETS AS A START AND GET INTO WITH, UM STREET. AS A BEGINNING POINT, AND IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT, STRETCH IT. THIS DOESN'T AT LEAST ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES WE'RE HAVING. THEN WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT. MOST OF US ARE STATICS. I'VE BEEN IN CITIES THAT PROHIBIT HARVEY'S COMPLETELY. YOU CAN'T EVEN PARK IN YOUR DRIVEWAY IN THE FRONT BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT IT TO BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND SO DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES HAVE DIFFERENT BUT AS A GENERATION HAS STARTED TO MOVE TO PEOPLE, MOBILE, YOU SEE THEM. MORE FREQUENTLY, BUT IT REQUIRES SPECIAL PARKING IN THE BACK, AND HE WAS LIKE THAT FOR THEM. AND SO I THINK WE NEED TO JUST THINK WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR IS FROM THE ORDINANCE WE DEVELOP IS DO YOU WANT MORE OR LESS TEACH, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TIME WORKS, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK IN ALL SCENARIOS. AND SO WHY DON'T WE BRING BACK A FEW EXAMPLES OF THINGS BEFORE WE START FULL THROTTLE WITH A WOULD THAT BE ACCEPTABLE? SOMETIMES LATE JANUARY BECAUSE JANUARY WAS THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE. WORKS FOR US. THANK YOU. UM, FOLKS, WE ARE PAST OUR TIME. YOU HAVE A MARTYR ITEM ON OUR AGENDA. WE GET THROUGH IT QUICKLY. CITY SECRETARY TRYING TO FIND A STATE ? YES, SIR. COUNCIL THE WAY IT STARTED OUT AS A WE HAD SOME LEFTOVER APPLICANTS TO BE INTERVIEWED BY THE MARRIAGE COUNSELOR, BOARDS, COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS. WE LOOKED AT THE DATES AND DATES CLOSE TO THANKSGIVING. YOU DIDN'T WORK OUT. AND WHAT'S HAPPENING SOMETIMES IS THAT WE GET REAL CLOSE, BUT WE DON'T GET EVERYBODY AND IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETIMES IT FEELS IT MUST FEEL LIKE TO THE PERSON IS NOT ABLE TO GET THEIR SCHEDULING MANAGED TO INTEND WITH EVERYBODY ELSE. SORT OF LIKE THEY'RE BEING LEFT OUT AND THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE . AND WE WANT ALL OF YOU PARTICIPATE. SO THE QUESTION IS . WE KNOW IT TAKES FOUR OF YOU TO MAKE A DECISION. UM IN A REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OR A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING. AND IF THERE WAS ANOTHER DAY THAT YOU WANTED TO CONSIDER MORE. THE DATE AND THEN THOSE WHO CAN ATTEND. IN NUMBERS OF FOUR OR MORE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COUNCIL.
THAT'S WHAT WE WERE HOPING TO GET SOME FEEDBACK ON THANK YOU. COMBAT, I THINK. I THINK WHAT CITY SECRETARY IS TRYING TO GET US TO SAY IS THAT WE WILL FIND A DATE THAT'S MOST AGREEABLE TO EVERYBODY FOR FOUR. IF WE CAN FIND FOUR. WE'LL GO AHEAD WITH THAT THREE CAN'T MAKE IT. HAVE TO GO OUT WITH THIS. I THINK IT'S BASICALLY WHAT I'M HEARING. WE WILL CONTINUE ON AS A QUARREL AND VERY BAD. WELL WHAT'S THE WORD WILL STRIVE TO GET ALL SEVEN IF WE POSSIBLY CAN. IF WE CAN'T. WE WILL MOVE ON MANY AS WE CAN GET TO HAVE A QUORUM. THAT'S CERTAINLY YOUR PROJECT JUST JUST MCBURNETT, ONE OF THE ISSUES. BUT WE HAVE SOME OPENINGS. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE ENOUGH TO FILL THE OPENINGS. AND I WOULD RATHER MUCH RATHER DOING ON FISHING DOING IT. ONE SLAVE VERSUS SPECIAL MEETING TO PUT ONE OR TWO ON SPECIAL, MAYBE PUT ANOTHER TWO ON I GUESS I WOULD. YES THIS COUNCIL SO TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE TO GET ASKED THEM TO VOLUNTEER. MM BOARDS AS WELL. SO WHAT LOCALS LINES MR MCBURNETT? WOULD WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE THAT TO SCHEDULE ONE OR TWO INTERVIEWS DOING A NORMAL CITY COUNCIL DAY. WE TAKE TIME DURING A BRIEFING SESSIONS. DELIVERY CUT DOWN ON THAT BRIEFING SESSION SCHEDULED ONE HOUR FOR INTERVIEWS DURING A NORMAL COUNCIL. THEY WOULD MOST OF US ARE TRYING TO REACH EACH OTHER OTHER 1ST AND 3RD TUESDAY. THAT BE THE CASE. WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL TRY AND FILL AS MANY AS WE CAN ON THE SPOT BASIS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DO 15 OR 20. AND JUST THE BEST WE CAN HEAR IT IS STRIVING TO GET PEOPLE INTO PLACES. AND BUT AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE OUR SCHEDULES, WHICH ARE VERY, VERY COMPLEX TO TRY AND GET SOME SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? WELL COULD ALSO CONSIDER AND I DON'T KNOW. PUT FOLKS OUT OF WORKING FEASIBLE. THIS IS WHAT WE CONSIDER COMING IN A LITTLE BIT EARLY. RATHER THAN SIX O'CLOCK TO KNOCK A COUPLE OF THOSE OUT. ON A REGULAR COUNCIL DAY. ON A REAL ACCOUNT. YEAH BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE HAVE DONE THAT. WE'VE DONE A FIVE ROOM 5 32 0 THEIR FIRST OR THIRD TUESDAY. HE WORKED WITH THAT CITY MANAGER. ABSOLUTELY. ALRIGHT VERY GOOD. SO DO WE HAVE IS THERE ANY DATE THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED. WORK THEM OVER ANYBODY THAT FOR THE FIFTH AND 13TH CAME UP AND I SAID
[01:05:04]
TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME ALREADY PASSED. 20 IS THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. WE HAVE APPLICANTS TO INTERVIEW FOR THE 20 MIXTURE ABOUT FINDING GOOD NUMBER. WE HAVE. I'M SORRY. WE HAVE 55. YEAH. SO THEN FOR THE 20TH. THAT'S THE COUNCIL DAY LOCKED THAT DAY. WE GO FOR A 5 30 ON THE 20TH INTERVIEW. 5 30 ON THE 20TH. DECEMBER, 20TH. ALRIGHT UH SILAS 707.

SO ON SEPTEMBER 30TH 2022 AT APPROXIMATELY 1 43 AM THESE OFFICERS WERE DISPATCHED TO A CALL FOR SERVICE AT A DONUT SHOP REGARDING ANOMALY. ONE CALL FROM A FEMALE STATING THAT HER HUSBAND HAD JUST COLLAPSED. FURTHER SHE ADVISED THAT SHE DID NOT BELIEVE HER HUSBAND WAS BREATHING. PATROL SERGEANT RON MCCARTY. ARRIVED ON THE SCENE WITHIN A MINUTE AND OBSERVED THE MALE WAS ON THE FLOOR. UNCONSCIOUS, NOT BREATHING. AND HAD NO PULSE. HE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN CPR. AT APPROXIMATELY 1 45 IN THE MORNING. PATROL OFFICER DARIUS ROGERS. ARRIVED ON THE SCENE TO ASSIST HE CONTINUALLY MONITOR THE MALES PULSE AND ALERTED
[01:15:05]
DISPATCHED TO THE ONGOING CPR IN PROGRESS AND THE NEED FOR MEDICS. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES OF CHEST COMPRESSIONS. THE MALE TOOK A DEEP BREATH. AND OUR OFFICERS WERE ABLE TO LOCATE A FAINT PULSE. AT APPROXIMATELY 1 47 AM DUNCANVILLE MEDICS ARRIVED AND TRANSPORTED THE MAIL. TO A HOSPITAL, ER THE MALE SURVIVED. HAS SINCE FULLY RECOVERED. IT WAS BACK AT WORK.DUNCANVILLE E. M S CHIEF KEVIN BRAG ADVISED THAT OUR PERSONNEL PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE MALES SURVIVING A SIGNIFICANT HEART ATTACK. AND ARE DESERVING FOR THEIR LIFE SAVING EFFORTS.
SO AT THIS POINT, WE'LL SEE A BRIEF CLIP OF WHAT TOOK PLACE THAT MORNING.
NO CULTURE IN THAT. YES, SIR. I CAN'T TELL YES. ONE ON THE RIDGE. SO AGAIN, IT'S A REAL BRIEF CLIP. BUT IT'S A REAL LIFE AND OBVIOUSLY IT TOOK LONGER AS I MENTIONED TWO MINUTES OF CHEST COMPRESSIONS. THE MEDICS ARRIVED. HE TURNED OUT TO HAVE HAD A HEART ATTACK. BUT THEY SAY AND FOR THAT, I THINK WE OUGHT TO APPLAUD THEIR EFFORTS.

DURING MY TENURE WITH THE DUNCANVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN AWARDED OVER 40 AWARDS IN AUSTRALIA. TWICE A MASTERPIECE OFFICER RECEIVED LETTERS OF PRAISE FROM US CONGRESSWOMAN I WAS A FIELD TRAINING OFFICER. HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR ARMOR FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. I'VE BEEN A DETECTIVE. DURING MY 10 YEARS OF DETECTIVE INVESTIGATING VIOLENT CRIMES AS HIS PRIMARY DETECTIVE AND OVER SIX HOMICIDE INVESTIGATIONS. MY STORY ISN'T MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS THAT ARE BEHIND ME TODAY. AND THIS CITY HAS BEEN A MAJOR PART OF MY LIFE FOR OVER 14 YEARS. IN THOSE YEARS, EYES IN THESE MEN AND WOMEN. HAVE SHOULD OUR OWN BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS FOR THIS CITY. AND IN SOME INSTANCES IN DOING SO, WE ACTUALLY HAD TO SACRIFICE ASSAULT, SMALL PORTION OF OUR HUMANITY TO MAKE THIS HEAT CITY SAFER. THE BILL OF SAFETY AND SECURITY ARE DUE TO THEIR WORK. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M NO LONGER AN EMPLOYEE OF THIS CITY AS I'VE MOVED ON TO ANOTHER FIELD OF WORK. WHICH MAKES YOU THINK? WHY AM I EVEN HERE? I'M HERE FOR THEM AND FOR THE CITIZENS. BUT THERE ARE MANY STILL PEOPLE HERE. THAT ARE HOPING THAT YOU HEAR MY WORDS TODAY. AND THEIR WORDS THAT I SENT YOU IN EARLIER EMAILS. IT'S TOO LATE TO KEEP ME HERE. BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR THEM. I FEEL THAT IF THE ISSUES BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION BY THE DUNCANVILLE POLICE ASSOCIATION OR NOT ANSWERED THAT NOT ONLY WILL YOU BE LOSING YOUNG OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS, BUT YOU'RE ALSO GONNA BE LOSING THE MORE TENURED OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS THAT ARE LEADERS WITHIN OUR RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN WE CAME TO WORK HERE THAT WE DID SIGN THAT PROVERBIAL DOTTED LINE. BUT IN DOING SO, WE ALSO ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT WITH THE CITY. THIS CONTRACT STIPULATES THAT FOR OUR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE WILL RECEIVE PRESCRIBED BENEFITS RECENTLY, THESE BENEFITS HAVE EITHER BEEN POORLY MANAGED OR NOT AVAILABLE TO OFFICERS OR FIREFIGHTERS DUE TO VARIOUS ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. THE NEXT CITIZEN COMMENT CARD I HAVE IS PATRICIA EBERT. PATRICIA EBERT, 115 SOUTH GREENSTONE LINE. DUNCAN BILL 75116. LET'S TALK MONEY. I'M HEARING THAT OUR FIREFIGHTERS HAVE NOT ARE BEING DELAYED IN THEIR PAYMENTS FOR TRAINING AND THEN THEIR DELIGHT AGAIN. I'M HEARING THAT A CITY CREDIT CARD WAS DENIED AT HOME DEPOT. WHENEVER THEY TRIED TO PURCHASE WORK RELATED SUPPLIES. AND THEN , AS YOU ALL KNOW, TONIGHT, YOU HAVE RECEIVED OF LETTER OF FORMAL LETTER, WHICH IS NOW A PUBLIC DOCUMENT FROM THE DUNCANVILLE POLICE ASSOCIATION.YOU'VE NOW HEARD THEIR SPOKESPERSON, AS UH, WITH THE COMMENTS, AND I'M HEARING THAT WITH THE POLICE OFFICERS THAT WHENEVER THEY WENT FOR MANDATORY TRAINING CITY PROTOCOL IS ALWAYS BEEN TO PRE PAY THE TRAVEL EXPENSES, THE HOTEL AND THE TRAINING VENDORS AND THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN AND A COUPLE OF INSTANCES AND THE POLICE OFFICERS ARE CONTENDING WITH THE BILLS NOT BEING PAID BY THE CITY. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. AND I AM CONCERNED I HAD NEVER MET. THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE FOR THE ASSOCIATION, BUT I'M CONCERNED LISTENING TO WHAT HE SAID. WHAT I DO KNOW, THOUGH, IS THAT THE CITY'S BUDGET IS BASED ON BORROWING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OFF ITS CREDIT RATING. SO IF WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE PAYING OUR BILLS HOW THERE'S OUR CREDIT RATING BEEN EFFECTED. WE HAVE NOT HAD A MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT OR INVESTMENT REPORT FOR MONTHS. SO LET'S TALK MONEY. HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE HAVE IN OUR CITY BUDGET? THANK YOU. NEXT COMMENT CARD IS FROM BRIAN KEYSER. GOOD EVENING, BRIAN KEYSER 100 SOUTH MAIN STREET. I HAD TWO ISSUES THAT I WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT TONIGHT. UH LAST WEEK, I WAS PRETTY DISAPPOINTED
[01:25:05]
AND VERY EMBARRASSED MAINLY IN MYSELF. AND THIS BEING THE FOURTH CHRISTMAS THAT I'VE SPENT IN THIS CITY. IN BUSINESS DOWNTOWN, TRYING TO DRIVE SALES AND CREATE A COMMUNITY. I FAILED TO REACH OUT TO THE CITY TO SEE WHAT THE PLANS WERE FOR THE PARADE. I HAD TO FIND OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT THE PARADE WAS BEING DIVERTED OUTSIDE OF OUR CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.DIVERTING SALES, DIVERTING A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE SPEND ABOUT 90 DAYS. PLANNING FOR BUT THAT COMMUNICATION I DON'T FEEL SHOULD ONLY GO ONE WAY I DO FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME COMMUNICATION WITH DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES WHEN THERE IS A SEVERE BUSINESS DISRUPTION ABOUT TO HAPPEN. UH THAT WE INVEST MONEY IN THAT WE PLANNED FOR AND THAT WE EXPECT TO SEE A RETURN ON THAT INVESTMENT FOR UM SO GOING FORWARD A ALL REACH OUT MORE OFTEN TO ENSURE THAT THAT CONNECTION IS MADE, BUT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS IS THE FOURTH YEAR AND I'VE BEEN INVOLVED FOR THE THREE PREVIOUS YEARS, SO UM I WOULD JUST HOPE FOR A BETTER COMMUNICATION. IN THE FUTURE, UM, ON PARADE ROUTES, THINGS LIKE THAT. UH SECOND THING FIVE A. THAT'S COMING UP. LATER FOR 15,000 FOR THE OFFICIAL VISITORS CENTER. I DON'T FEEL THAT THAT VISITOR CENTER PUTS HEADS IN BEDS FOR THAT HOT TAX FUND. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ISN'T SUPPORTIVE OF ALL BUSINESSES IN TOWN. AND THE LANDSCAPING FEES THINGS LIKE THAT ARE NOT GENERATING MORE HEADS AND BEDS FOR THAT HOTEL MONEY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE NEXT CARD I HAVE IS EMILY BRIDGES. OPEN UP MY NOTES HERE. GOOD EVENING. EMILY BRIDGES FOR 18 OLEANDER STREET 75137. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A QUOTE GIVEN BY ONE OF OUR OWN CITY OFFICIALS BACK IN APRIL 2022 REGARDING THE WHEATLAND PLAZA RENOVATION. WHAT TYPICALLY TAKES MONTHS TO ACCOMPLISH WAS DONE IN WEEKS WITH THE SAME DILIGENCE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL OUR CITIZENS EXPECT OF US. THIS PERSON CONTINUED WITH EXCITEMENT WITH POSITIVE WITH WHAT POSITIVE CHANGES WOULD BE FORTHCOMING WITH THIS PROJECT. THE LAD PROPERTY ALREADY RECEIVES THIS KIND OF EXCITEMENT FROM OUR CITIZENS MINUS THE $1.5 MILLION ADVANCE IN ITS NATURAL STATE. ITS FUNDING NEEDED. TO PRESERVE, RESTORE AND CHERISH THE LAND. YES UNFORTUNATELY, THE CITY APPOINTED COMMITTEE CANNOT RAISE FUNDING WITHOUT THE DESIGNATION OF THE LAND THROUGH AN ORDINANCE IN SHORT RESOLUTIONS ARE GENERALLY LESS PERMANENT THAN ORDINANCES AND RESPECTFULLY IS NOT WHAT THE CITIZENS ARE ASKING OR SIGNED A PETITION FOR WE WANT AND NEED THIS LAND DESIGNATED THROUGH AN ORDINANCE TO MAKE IT PERMANENT. THEN VOLUNTEERS CAN START THEIR WORK AND THE COMMITTEE CAN START TO RAISED FUNDS. AFTER A LITTLE HOMEWORK, I FOUND THAT THE DUNCANVILLE CITIZEN BOND ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF 2018 MANAGED TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE THEM REVIEWED AND MANAGED TO GET A $21 MILLION BOND ON THE BALLOT IN LESS TIME THAN YOU HAVE BEEN UNDECIDED ON THIS PIECE OF LAND.
THE CITIZENS DO HAVE EXPECTATIONS WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO REPEAT THE EARLIER QUOTE WITH WHAT TYPICALLY TAKES MONTHS TO ACCOMPLISH WAS DONE IN WEEKS WITH THE SAME DILIGENCE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL OUR CITIZENS EXPECT OF US. THANK YOU. NEXT COMMENT CARD IS FROM RON THOMPSON. ALRIGHT, WE'RE ON THOMPSON, SIX OR THREE CATHERINE COURT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY. UM I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE ORDINANCE FOR THE LAD PROPERTY IN ORDINANCES IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS THE SINGLE THING THAT ALLOWS US AS ADVOCATES AND FUNDRAISERS TO RAISE FUNDS FROM INSTITUTIONAL FUNDERS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHEN BOB LADD DROVE IN FROM HIGHLAND PARK TO DUNCANVILLE TO SEE OUR PLAN AND CELEBRATED UNTIL HIS FRIENDS ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DUNCANVILLE, WE HAVE COME BACK TO HIM AND SAID, WELL, THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO, BUT WE CAN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW. WE CAN DO THIS, BUT WE CAN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW. WE CAN DO THIS, BUT WE CAN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW. OUR COMMITTEE HAS FULFILLED EVERY SINGLE PROMISE WE HAVE MADE TO THIS COMMUNITY AND THIS COUNCIL THERE'S NO REASON TO EXPECT THAT WE CAN'T DO FUNDRAISING TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY THE WAY THAT WE NEED TO IN A CITY WHERE OVER 90% IS CEMENT. THERE IS A PLACE FOR
[01:30:03]
PEOPLE WHO ARE CREATIVE, VIBRANT , BUILT ENVIRONMENT WITH A VIBRANT NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.THERE IS A PLACE WHERE WE CAN BRING PEOPLE IN TO TALK ABOUT THE RESEARCH AND TO THE ANIMAL LIFE AND HAVE THE CONFERENCES AROUND THE NATURAL SPACE. THEY CAN'T HAVE IT. AT THE AT THE LAB , BUT THEY CAN HAVE IT AT ONE OF THESE PLACES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO BRING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS AND TO DUNCANVILLE TO LOOK AT WHAT THIS AMAZING SPACE WE HAVE. AND I ASK YOU AGAIN. WE NEED THE ORDINANCE. WE'RE NOT OBSTINATE. THAT'S JUST THE TOOL WE NEED TO DELIVER FURTHER AND OUR PROMISE TO THIS COUNCIL IN OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. YOU. DIANA SHELTON. OH I'M SORRY. SHE SAYS SHE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK. AND SHE SUPPORTS THE LEAD PROPERTY AND WHEATLAND PLAZA WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. DIANA SHELTON HERE.
OKAY. THANK YOU. MARK GRAHAM. MORE GRAHAM FOR 10 SANTA FE TRAIL. UM SOME OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID, BUT I'LL DO IT REAL SIMPLY. WE CAN'T RAISE FUNDS WITHOUT AN ORDINANCE. THAT UNDERSTOOD WITH PEOPLE THAT WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS Y'ALL DECIDE THERE'S GONNA BE SOME PERMANENCE INVOLVED WITH THAT LAND DOWN THERE. I'M NOT ALSO SAY THIS. WHEN YOU ALL DECIDED WHEN THE CITY ATTORNEY THANKFULLY, AGREED IN A MEETING THAT YES, THAT IS PUBLIC LAND. AND CITIZENS CAN USE IT. WITHIN DAYS. YOUR HEAD SIGNS UP.
STATING. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. EVEN THOUGH IT'S ALREADY COVERED BY WHATEVER INSURANCE YOU WILL HAVE ITS COVERED BUT Y'ALL Y'ALL DID THAT WITHIN DAYS. 20 SOMETHING SIGNS WENT UP JUST RINGING. I MEAN, JUST ABSOLUTELY ALL THE WAY AROUND THAT LAND. FEW MONTHS AGO, I ASKED FOR A COUPLE OF SIGNS SAYING NO. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES. I ASKED FOR A FEW POST TO BLOCK OFF A COUPLE OF TRAILHEADS. I ASKED IF WE COULD BLOCK OFF A COUPLE OF THE ENTRANCES OFF DANIEL DALE ROAD. CRICKETS. NOT ONE THING IF I HEARD SINCE PRIORITIES. THAT LAND RIGHT NOW NEEDS HELP. EITHER YOU DECIDE YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT. ARE YOU PUMPED? AND I'M SICK OF GOING DOWN THERE AND SEEING MORE AND MORE. THREE SIXTIES CUT INTO THAT LAND WHEN IT COULD BE STOPPED. AT YOUR CHOICE. THANK YOU. SHANNON ROBERTS. SHANNON ROBERTS, 906 ROCK CANYON. I'M ALSO HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE LAB PROPERTY AND THE ORDINANCE. SO WHEN WE WERE HERE, LAST TIME RESOLUTION WAS OFFERED, AND WE'RE SO APPRECIATIVE AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RESOLUTION IN AN ORDINANCE, SO I DID A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH IN HERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT I'VE LEARNED. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENACTING AN ORDINANCE CANNOT BE BYPASSED BY SIMPLY PASSING A RESOLUTION. WHAT YOU'VE HEARD FROM SOME OF THE CONCERNED CITIZENS IS WE NEED WE REQUIRE AN ORDINANCE TO DO WHAT WE BELIEVE NEEDS TO BE DONE. AND WE THOUGHT WE HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF WHAT THE PLANS AND THE DESIRES WERE FOR THE CITIZENS PER THE PETITION. A RESOLUTION GENERALLY STATES A POSITION OR POLICY OF A CITY. AN ORDINANCE IS MORE FORMAL AND AUTHORITATIVE. IT'S MORE SO THAN A RESOLUTION IN ORDINANCES, A LOCAL LAW TO REGULATE PEOPLE AND PROPERTY. AND RELATES TO A MATTER OF GENERAL AND PERMANENT NATURE. AS YOU'VE HEARD. WE CANNOT DO. THE CITIZENS CAN'T DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITHOUT HAVING AN ORDINANCE. SO WE'RE READY. WE'VE BEEN WAITING WE CAN CANNOT AS YOU'VE HEARD RAISE FUNDS. WE HAVE FREE MONEY GRANT MONEY THAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD, WE WILL ARE WELL QUALIFIED FOR IF WE PASS AN ORDINANCE. SO WE HAVE GRANTS. WE HAVE FREE LABOR. ALL OF THE STUDENTS CITIZENS HERE THAT WANT TO HELP. WE HAVE SCOUTS READY TO DO THEIR EAGLE PROJECTS. SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE PUT ON YOUR AGENDA AND ORDINANCE FOR THE LAD PROPERTY SO WE CAN MOVE
[01:35:06]
FORWARD. WE WILL ALL BENEFIT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ROY. SMILE. UM.RIGHT SMILING 6 23 SOUTH ALEXANDER AVENUE. OVER THE YEARS HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS. IT'S RISEN RAPIDLY, WHILE WILD AREAS HAVE LARGELY DISAPPEARED. THE EXACT TREES AND PLANTS THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO SURROUND OUR HOMES AND BUSINESSES WITH AND THE POISONS AND PROCEDURES CURRENTLY USED TO KEEP THE OUTDOORS. FIRMLY UNDER OUR CONTROL HAVE LED TO FRACTURED ECOSYSTEMS THAT ARE WILDLY OUT OF BALANCE. TO CONSIDER HOW DISRUPTED OUR CITY ECOSYSTEM IS, LET'S LOOK BACK A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO THE EARLY DAYS OF OCTOBER. ALMOST OVERNIGHT, THE LEAVES OF ALL THE SUGAR BERRY TREES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DISAPPEARED.
REPLACED BY GHOSTLY WEBS THAT MADE HALLOWEEN SCARY AND A NEW AND HIGHLY DISCONCERTING WAY.
THIS PLAGUE WAS CAUSED BY A LEAF ROLLER MOTH THAT IS USUALLY KEPT IN CHECK BY VARIOUS BIRDS AND PREDATORY INSECTS. AT THE SAME TIME, CON LEAF APHIDS ALSO EXPLODED OUT OF CONTROL AND EVERY SURFACE ANYWHERE NEAR A PECAN TREE BECAME COVERED IN A THERAPY GOO THAT MADE BEING OUTDOORS. VERY UNPLEASANT FOR US AND OUR FOUR LEGGED FAMILY MEMBERS. AS A NATURALIST. I WAS EAGER TO SEE WHAT EFFECT THIS WAS HAVING ON LAD LAND, AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THERE WAS NONE. ALL OF THE NATURAL CONTROLS WERE IN PLACE AND OPERATING EFFICIENTLY. THE SUGAR BERRY TREES STILL HAVE LEAVES. AND HOORAY! THERE WAS NO SYRUPY GOO. JUST DO A PLAGUE EVENT SHOULD PROVIDE A POTENT WARNING THAT AS A FRACTURED ECOSYSTEMS EDGE CLOSER TO COLLAPSE. THEY THREATENED NOT ONLY OUR GENERAL WELFARE, BUT EVENTUALLY OUR VERY EXISTENCE. THE CITIZENS OF DUNCANVILLE OR REQUESTING A NATURE PRESERVE, NOT ANOTHER PARK RECREATIONAL CENTER GLADLY AND MUST BE VIEWED AS AN ESSENTIAL REPOSITORY FOR THE WIDEST NUMBER OF NATIVE SPECIES POSSIBLE.

BASICALLY THIS IS LIKE THE MISSION BEFORE BY CITY ATTORNEY THEY. CAN YOU ALL HELP ME NOW? OKAY THANK YOU. SO AS MENTIONED BEFORE THIS IS BASICALLY A CONTINUATION OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING. THERE ARE A FEW ITEMS THAT YOU ALL HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHICH WE CAN TOUCH UPON FOR YOUR TO BRING YOUR BODY TO SPEED, BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE POWER THE POWER POINT PRESENTATION FROM PREVIOUSLY IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO GET INTO WE CAN GO BACK AND DO IT AS WELL.
BUT IT JUST BASICALLY TALKING ABOUT WHAT OCCURRED AT THE NOVEMBER 15TH MEETING. THERE WERE CERTAIN ITEMS LIKE THE BOUTIQUE HOTEL. THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THAT WAS ACTUALLY DEFINED. WE MENTIONED THAT IT WAS DEFINED. IT WAS A SEPARATE ATTACHMENT. WE'VE INCLUDED IT AS ATTACHMENT AS A AS A AS A DIFFERENT UM, APPENDIX IN THIS PARTICULAR ITEM THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEFORE YOU IN THE LATEST EDITION OF EVERYTHING IS DEFINED AS UP HERE. I WON'T GO INTO SPECIFICS UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEFINITION. OKAY I'LL MOVE RIGHT ALONG THE EVENT CENTER WAS ANOTHER QUESTION THAT CAME INTO PLACE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE APPLICANT. THERE WAS A QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT IT BE PERMITTED. THERE WAS CONCERN ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A PERMITTED IT. I AM ITEM OR PERMITTED USE OR A QUOTE UNQUOTE CONDITIONAL USE UNDER THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. WE TALKED TO THE APPLICANT CAME TO A AGREEMENT. IF YOU WILL, THAT WE COULD LOOK AT THIS POTENTIALLY AS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, WHICH MEANS THAT THE EVENTS CENTER WOULD COME BACK
[01:45:04]
BEFORE. PLANNING AND ZONING AND ALSO THIS BODY TO BE CONSIDERED AS AS SUCH. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THAT. MR OKAY , NOT A QUESTION. PER SE, BUT A COMMENT, UM. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE . YES, SIR. LITTLE SLOWER. DEFINITELY. THANK YOU. SORRY ABOUT THAT. MOVING RIGHT ALONE.WE ALSO HAVE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT WHETHER THE, UH, MIXED USE COMPONENT OF THE CENTRAL PORTION IF YOU RECALL FROM THE SITE PLAN FOR THE MOM FOR THE MULTI FAMILY WITHIN THE CENTER PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, THERE IS A PERCENTAGE OF 20% ON THE GROUND FLOOR. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE APPLICANT WE DISCUSSED SOME PART OF THE CONVERSATION WITH THE LAST MEETING ON THE 15TH. THAT THEY'RE ALSO AMENABLE AS WELL, TOO. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS CONCERNS REGARDING THAT. OKAY NEXT ITEM THAT CAME UP AT THIS AT THE 15TH MEETING AS WELL. WAS THE ALCOHOL OR THE ALLOWANCE OF ALCOHOL AT THE PARTICULAR SITE AT THE EVENTS THAT ARE BEING ONE OF THOSE VISITORS ANYTHING WITHIN 300 FT OF A SCHOOL WITHIN OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE SPECIFIES THAT IT HAS TO COME BEFORE THE VARIANTS BEFORE THIS BODY IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE APPROVED, SO THERE IS A CHECK AND BALANCE ON ANY ENTITY THAT ACTUALLY REFERS REQUESTS ALCOHOL. WHICH IS A PUBLIC MEETING BEFORE AGAIN.
LIKE I SAID, THIS BODY AND AGAIN, THE PRESENTATION FOR THE 15TH IS UP HERE JUST IN CASE THERE'S ANY SPECIFICS OR ANYTHING. I DON'T WANT TO GET BELIEVER THAT BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY GIVEN NICELY BY MR WARREN, THE LAST MEETING AND THERE'S SOME OTHER ITEMS AS WELL. LANDSCAPING. OH, OKAY. I'M SORRY. AHEAD, MR COATES. THANK YOU WITH THE 300 FT SEPARATION.
FOR ALCOHOL ESTABLISHMENTS. HOW MANY OF THOSE SPACES OR OUTSIDE OF THAT 300. FOOT. SPACING. WE HAVE NOT CONDUCTED ANY CALCULATIONS IN THAT REGARD, BUT AS THEY COME IN AS ANYTHING THE ENTITY THAT COMES IN FOR CALCULATION FOR ABC WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE MEASUREMENT TRIANGLE, AND IT GOES BEFORE A CITY SECRETARY AS AN APPLICATION, AND THEN IT GOES TO THE ENTITY BODY. IT GOES BEFORE THE CITY SECRETARY AND THEN IT ALSO GOES BEFORE THE BODIES OF BUILDING INSPECTIONS AND ALSO PLANNING TO PREFER THE DISTANCE. THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS PROPERTY LINE TO PROPERTY LINE SCHOOL. SO IT'S THE PROPERTY LINE BECAUSE THIS IS ONE LOT THE PROPERTY LINE IN WHEATLAND. TWO. SO. WILL BE THE PROPERTY LINE TO THE SOUTH TO THE EAST TO THE WEST. SO THAT WOULD MEAN IF THERE'S A ESTABLISHMENT, SAYING THE FAR BACK CORNER THAT WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED NOT THE PORTAL. SO THAT WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED WITHIN 300 FT OF A SCHOOL. OKAY? SO EVEN IF IT'S IN A PART OF THE PROPERTY. THAT'S 800 FT. AWAY IT'S STILL CONSIDERED 300 BECAUSE OF THE PROPERTY PROPERTIES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR EDGAR. MOVING ONE TO THE LINE, ESCAPING ONE OF THE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT CAME UP IN THE LAST MEETING ON THE 15TH WAS THAT OF LANDSCAPING AS AS A PROPERTY CURRENTLY ASSISTING EXISTS RIGHT NOW THERE IS VERY LITTLE ESCAPING ON THE PROPERTY. THERE IS A PROPOSAL TO ADDING CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING AND THE NEXT SLIDE. HERE IT WAS. THIS IS A VISUAL OF IT. THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS YOU THAT THEY'RE MOVING UP SPACE PRODUCING. EXCUSE ME. UP TO 20,000 SQUARE FOOT OF LANDSCAPING ON THE PROPERTY, WHICH ARE FOUND IN MINIMAL CONCERNING THE CURRENT STATUS QUO. THE PROPERTY IN THAT REGARR QUESTIONS? I'LL BE HAPPY. ACTUALLY, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN FOR YOU ALL. NOTHING RIGHT NOW. WHAT WE'LL DO IS, UM I'M SORRY, MR CONTRERAS. THAT II THOUGHT I HEARD MENTION OF IT. UM THE USE OF PERMEABLE SURFACES FOR PARKING UM. THERE'S NOT REALLY AN INDICATION HERE OF HOW MUCH AREA WOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE USING THAT METHOD. I KNOW WE'VE HAD A SMALL TASTE OF PROPER APPLICATION OF THIS IN A MAYBE EIGHT PARKING SPACE. UH, LOCATION JUST NEAR BEN FRANKLIN OFF OF WESTCHESTER PERSON. UM IT SEEMS TO HAVE PERFORMED WELL.
THAT WAS FOUR VEHICLES. I'M WONDERING WHAT INFORMATION WE HAVE OVER A LARGER AREA AND WITH MORE TRAFFIC. OR IF THESE AREAS THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED WOULD NOT BE HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS. UM WHAT ARE THE CONTROL MEASURES TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IT IT UPHOLDS THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IT WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO. NATHAN WARREN, SENIOR PLANNER. UM. FOR THE USE OF PERMIT PERMEABLE SERVICES.
[01:50:04]
THE PROPOSAL IS FOR THIS TO BE ALLOWED IN PARKING SPACES IN AREAS OF HIGH STORMWATER ACTIVITY EXCLUSIVELY. THERE WOULD BE PROHIBITED AND FIRE LANES. SO THE, UM PERMISSIBLE SERVICES ARE. TO BE CONCENTRATED EXCLUSIVELY IN AREAS OF HIGHEST STORMWATER ACTIVITY. OKAY ARE ARE THOSE AREAS IDENTIFIED IN ANY OF THE DRAWINGS THAT WE GO? IF NOT, THAT'S OK. I JUST WONDERED. I COULDN'T FIND THEM AND I SO I DIDN'T KNOW HOW LARGE AN AREA THAT WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT INTO ADDRESS THAT THIS IS PRIMARILY FOR THE P D TO PLAY IN DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING WHEN WE GET TO THE ACTUAL, UM UM, THE SITE PLAN. THAT'S WHEN THOSE DETAILS ARE COMING TO POST THAT MAKES SENSE. THANK YOU. MR MARK BURNETT. THANK YOU, MAYOR, PART TOMB, VERY CRUISE. ONE OF THE ITEMS ARE THE TOPICS IS RELATES TOWARDS THE BUILDINGS AND WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY PRESENTED IT WAS GOING TO BE CONDOMINIUMS. AND NOW WHAT I'M HEARING IS APARTMENTS. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW OR WHY SEGMENT. SURE THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, COUNSELOR. MCBURNETT AS YOU KNOW , UH, YOU'RE YOU'RE CORRECT WHEN WE HAD THE TOWN HALL MEETINGS, UH, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL INTENTIONS FOR THE PROPERTY THAT IS IN THE CENTER OF THE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. WAS EXACTLY THAT POTENTIAL FOR TOWN HOMES. WE HAVE VISITED WITH THE DEVELOPER AND HE'S AMENABLE TO TOWN HOMES AND CONDOMINIUM OR SORRY CONDOMINIUM SALES. AH AS WE ALL KNOW, THE MARKET HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST SINCE WE HAD OUR TOWN HALL MEETINGS AND PRESENTATIONS.UM HE'S STILL AMENABLE TO IT. AND IN 2024 IS WHEN WE ANTICIPATE THIS CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN. HE'S OPEN TO EXPLORING THOSE POSSIBILITIES FOR CONDOMINIUMS. IF AGAIN FINANCING IS AVAILABLE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TWO THINGS GOING ON HERE, NUMBER ONE THE FINANCING FOR SPEC. UH CONDOMINIUMS IS CHALLENGING WITH THE INTEREST RATES AND CERTAINLY BANKS ARE AS WE KNOW, UM HAS IT INTO INVEST IN INSPECT ON, YOU KNOW, BASED ON THE FINANCING BASED ON THE POTENTIAL AND NOT JUST THAT WE ALSO KNOW THE MARKET EDITIONS ALSO ARE MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR BUYERS TO BUY AT THE HIGHER INTEREST RATES. AND CONSIDERING THIS IS A HIGHER END DEVELOPMENT AND THAT THAT SPECIFIC BUILDING E IS GOING TO BE ON THE HIGHER END SCALE WHERE IT BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 1 50 TO $2 PER SQUARE FOOT. THOUGH YOU'RE LOOKING AT AND WE CAN TALK TO MR ANDERSON ABOUT THAT. I KNOW HE'S GOING TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT HERE. AH YOU COULD BE IN THE 400 TO $500,000 RANGE FOR A CONDOMINIUM, WHICH COULD BE CHALLENGING DEPENDING ON WHAT FINANCING. AH THE APPLICANT WOULD GET SO YOU HAVE TWO PROBLEMS OCCURRING. YOU HAVE NUMBER ONE THE FINANCING TO BUILD ON SPECIFICATIONS OR SPECULATIVE CONSTRUCTION. AND NUMBER TWO, THE ABILITY TO HAVE CLIENTS THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO QUALIFY OR APPLY AND PURCHASE THOSE THOSE CONDOMINIUMS. SO SPEAKING TO MR ANDERSON ABOUT THAT POSSIBILITY, HE DID SAY THAT SINCE THIS IS PHASE AND YOU SEE THE BUILDING EARS AND SEPARATE PHASES, HE WOULD BE OPEN TO POTENTIALLY DOING CONDOMINIUMS FOR SALE IF IT WAS PHASED IN, AND HE HAD READY MADE BUYERS TO PURCHASE THOSE THOSE APARTMENTS WITH THAT BEING SAID. AS YOU MAY KNOW, YOU CAN STILL BUILD APARTMENTS AND YOU CAN SELL THEM WHEN THE FINANCING TERMS ARE BETTER OR WHEN THE MARK. CONDITIONS ARE BETTER, BUT WE ALL KNOW WHEN INTEREST RATES ARE HIGH RENTAL RENTALS ARE WHAT GO AND THEN WENT STRAIGHT. ARLO PURCHASES WOULD GO AND SO WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE AND IN OUR OPINION EMPTY CONDOMINIUMS. YOU WANT THIS TO BE A THRIVING ACTIVE, YOU KNOW, CENTER WHERE PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE SHOPPING AND SALES TAX GO UP AND PROBABLY JUST GO UP, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. SO AT THE CURRENT FINANCING AND CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS. MULTI FAMILIES, PROBABLY THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE. BUT HE CAN CERTAINLY SPEAK TO THAT AS WELL. OKAY, MR CONTRERAS. SO, UM. TO FOLLOW ALONG THAT SAME LINE OF QUESTIONING. COULD WE EXPECT THAT? UH IF THESE ARE DEVELOPED APARTMENTS THAT THEY WOULD BE ON A PAR WITH WHAT WE SEE IT MAIN STATION. SO OBVIOUSLY, UH, AS PART OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT, WE WOULDN'T GET INTO THOSE SPECIFICITIES. BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY ASK THE LANDLORD OR THE OWNER. WHAT TYPE OF, YOU KNOW QUALITY HE'S GOING TO BE BUILDING. I THINK HE DID PROVIDE SOME RENDERINGS OF THE BUILDING, AND IT APPEARED FROM THE FACADE THAT THEY WOULD BE HIGH QUALITY. BUT I GUESS FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION AND IT BASED ON WHAT HE'S PAYING FOR THE PROPERTY. AS WE KNOW HE PAID CLOSE TO 7.2 MILLION. HE'S INVESTING ADDITIONAL 2030 MILLION. IN THE SENSE FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION.
HE'S GOT TO BUILD SOMETHING EQUIVALENT TO BE ABLE TO GET THE RENT RATES TO SATISFY THE DEBT SERVICE THAT HE WOULD EVENTUALLY INCUR. SO THAT KIND OF FORCES HIM TO DEVELOP OR BUILD
[01:55:02]
SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO SATISFY THAT DEBT SERVICE. AND CERTAINLY WE CAN ASK HIM THAT, BUT JUST FROM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES. YOU YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO GENERATE THE REVENUE TO COVER THE DEBT SERVICE SO HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BUILD A LOWER END APARTMENT IN THAT FACILITY BASED ON WHAT HE'S SPENDING ON THIS CONSTRUCTION AND CONSIDERING WHAT THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS ART IN TODAY'S WORLD AGAIN, THAT'S GOING TO ALSO FORCE HIM TO BUILD SOMETHING MUCH NICER. SO WE CAN GET THE RENT WRITES IN IT MIGHT REQUIRE, AS YOU KNOW, AND IN AREAS WHERE THERE'S HIGHER DENSITY. YOU HAVE SMALLER UNITS AND THEIR HIGHER PRICED IN ORDER TO SATISFY THE DEBT SERVICE HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO SATISFY, WHICH LENDS ITSELF TO A SOLID INVESTMENT IN THE PROJECT, AND I MIGHT ADD THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO VALUATION THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE 30 TO $40 MILLION RANGE, BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW THE PROPERTY TAX VALUATIONS GENERATE MORE TAX DOLLARS FOR THE CITY'S COFFERS, AS WELL AS GENERATING MORE DISCRETIONARY INCOME ON YOUR TENANTS THAT GENERATE MORE SALES TAX FOR THE CENTER. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. OKAY SO IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND JUST AS A REMINDER WILL HAVE 10 MINUTES ALLOTTED. I'M SORRY.THAT'S 8 12. 10 MINUTES BEFORE 10 MINUTES AGAINST SIX MINUTES FOR REBUTTAL. FIRST THING I'M GONNA DO IS READ THESE PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS. AND THE FIRST ONE THAT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK. IS MISS. UH LAYLA RAMSEY. AND SHE SAYS, UH, SHE'S AN OPPOSITION. THE ONLY THING IT SAYS THERE NEXT CARD. I HAVE MS. GERALD EPPLER. COME ON UP. WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. CHERYL KEPLER 406 MILLION STREET 75137 . AND IF YOU'LL START BY SAYING IF YOU'RE FOR OR AGAINST, PLEASE UM, I'M FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, BUT I HAVE A CONCERN. MY CONCERN IS REGARD TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OF WETLAND PLAZA. MY FAMILY AND I LIVE A FEW BLOCKS SOUTH. OF THE PLAZA. WE HAVE LIVED THERE FOR 31 YEARS AND WE DO CARE ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. OF THE PLAZA. WE BELIEVE THAT THE BUSINESSES THAT GO IN THERE SHOULD ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DISAPPOINTED WHEN WE HEARD THAT ONE OF THE POSSIBLE BUSINESSES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAZA WOULD BE A TATTOO PARLOR SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, MY HUSBAND AND HE WISHED HE WAS HERE TONIGHT, BUT HE HAD A PRIOR COMMITMENT. SO I'M SPEAKING ON HIS BEHALF, YOU MIGHT SAY. UM SO SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HE WENT ON A TOUR OF THE PLAZA WITH MONTE ANDERSON. I THINK IT WAS IN THE SUMMERTIME. MY HUSBAND REMEMBERS MONTE SAYING THERE WOULD BE NO TATTOO PARLOR. THE PEOPLE IN THE GROUP RESPONDED POSITIVELY TO THAT. SO WHY WAS THERE A CHANGE? ALTHOUGH MORE PEOPLE ARE GETTING TATTOOS NOWADAYS. I GUESS WE'RE FUDDY DADDIES. THERE'S STILL A RISK TO THE SKIN, AND THERE ARE STILL NEGATIVES ASSOCIATED WITH WITH TATTOOS WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO BE HIRED. A TATTOO PARLOR IS NOT THE SORT OF SHOP WE FAVOR HAVING IN THE SHOPPING CENTER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT WE'RE EVEN MORE OPPOSED TO HAVING A BAR. AND WE ON PLAZA. BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT NOISE, LATE NIGHT TRAFFIC, POSSIBLE FIGHTS, INTOXICATION AND BROKEN HOMES. IF ONE OF THE PROPOSED RESTAURANTS HAS A LIQUOR LICENSE. WE FEEL THAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT, BUT WE'RE OPPOSED TO AN ESTABLISHMENT. WHERE THE MAIN FOCUS IS SERVING ALCOHOL. UM ANOTHER ISSUE. UM. ACROSS THE STREET IS MIDDLE RATE WHERE BOTH OF OUR CHILDREN ATTENDED. I CAN RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO MENU GROCERY STORE HAD A SIGN ON THEIR DOOR INDICATED TO STURGEON TO STUDENTS COULD ENTER AT A TIME. THEY HAD A REASON FOR THAT. I THINK IT'S GREAT TO HAVE A PLACE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. I'M ALL FOR THAT. THAT WAS MENTIONED AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING. HOWEVER I WANT TO KNOW HAVE PLANS MEN MADE FOR SOME KIND OF SECURITY OR CHAPERONING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MA'AM. NEXT WE HAVE ROYCE MILHAM. WISHES TO SPEAK. RELATION I'LL UM 6 23 SOUTH ALEXANDER AVENUE ARTS. ER CAN YOU TELL US IF YOU'RE FOR OR AGAINST I AM FOUR WITH RESERVATIONS. THE ALLEY BEHIND OUR HOUSE USED TO BE LINED WITH MATURE TREES AND NATIVE VEGETATION THAT SUPPORTED LIFE
[02:00:04]
FOR A VARIETY OF ANIMALS, INCLUDING OWLS AND OTHER BIRDS. IT ALSO DID A GOOD JOB OF BLOCKING THE VIEW AND NOISE OF COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. AND DUMPSTERS IN 2012. ALL OF THE TREES WERE CUT DOWN, APPARENTLY TO MINIMIZE LANDSCAPING COSTS. BECAUSE THE ALLEY WAS VIEWED AS A WASTE SPACE, MINIMALLY MAINTAINED AND OTHERWISE IGNORED . IT FELL INTO A DEGRADED STATE WHERE TRASH ACCUMULATED AND WAS MODE EQUALLY WITH THE WEEDS. ENSURED IT WAS CONVERTED TO A PLACE THAT COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES AND RENTAL HOME TO HAVE INCREASINGLY TRENDED TOWARD.LANDSCAPING THAT REQUIRES THE LEAST AMOUNT OF EFFORT AND COST. ASSEMBLY LINE LANDSCAPING HAS BEEN WIDELY ADOPTED USING LOUD MACHINES TO QUICKLY MO BLOW BAG IT ALL AND GO. YES THE DEVALUING OF THE LAND CONTRIBUTES TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND URBAN DECAY. NATURE HAS BEEN VIEWED AS AN IMPEDIMENT THAT GETS IN THE WAY OF MONETIZING THE REAL ESTATE. OUR HELP IS LONG TERM RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IS THAT THE NEW OWNER OF WHEATLAND PLAZA WILL RECOGNIZE THE NECESSITY OF SETTING ASIDE PART OF THE LAND TO FACILITATE A NATURAL BALANCE. WE HOPE THAT THE CITY WILL STAND FAST WITH THEIR ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRES 20% OF THE LAND TO BE GREEN. IT IS ALSO OUR HOPE THAT THE NEW OWNER WILL ABIDE BY THE CURRENT ZONING RESTRICTIONS THAT PROTECT NEARBY RESIDENTS FROM THE INTRUSIONS OF HARSH, ABRASIVE LIGHTING THAT DISRUPTS NIGHTTIME ACTIVITIES. SCARING AWAY THE HOURS THAT KEEP THE RATS AT BAY AND SHAKING HIS AWAKE IF WE HAVE TO TAKE OUR DOGS OUTSIDE, LATE AT NIGHT. THE TIME IS NOW EMERGING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITH ECOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT TO REJUVENATE OUR URBAN ENVIRONMENT. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY SURROUNDING OURSELVES WITH A DIVERSE ASSORTMENT OF EDIBLE, NATIVE DROUGHT RESISTANT PLANTS AND TREES. IF WE REMOVE PAVEMENT WHERE WE CAN AND EXERCISE GOOD STEWARDSHIP OVER EVERY AVAILABLE SPOT OF SOIL. WE CAN CREATE WATER ABSORBING, LIFE AFFIRMING BUFFER ZONES. THAT PROVIDE COMFORT AND PEACE OF MIND FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FEELING INCREASINGLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE NATURAL WORLD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE MR TOMMIE RAINER. MR RAYNER. GOOD EVENING SENATE COUNCIL. UM I'M TOMMY RENO. 5 TO 3. CATHERINE COURTS. I'M I GUESS THE AGAINST THIS ONE. UM WITH THE CAVEAT OF THAT I AM EXCITED THE IDEA THAT THIS THIS AREA IS GETTING A DEVELOPMENT. I'VE SEEN PROGRESS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. AND I'M I 40 PLUS YEAR RESIDENT OF THIS AREA. I DO HAVE MY CONCERNS, AND SOME OF THE CONCERNS ARE ECHO FROM THE PREVIOUS MEMBERS ARE HERE JUST SPEAKING MOMENTS AGO TO THAT FACT. UH I PERSONALLY AM NOT REALLY HAPPY THAT THE IDEA THAT THEY'RE CONSIDERING SHUTTING DOWN ACTING. UH STOPPING TRAFFIC TO GO FROM A MAIN ARTERY TO THE CITY. I MYSELF WAS A RESIDENT IN THIS AREA ALL MY LIFE, SO I MADE, UH I MADE THE WALK TO READ , UH, AND AS A STUDENT THERE CUTTING OFF ACCESS TO THAT IS JUST GOING TO INCREASE THE WALKING DISTANCE REQUIRED FOR CHILDREN THAT ARE ATTENDING THIS AREA. I THINK CAREFUL CONSIDERATION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN IN THAT SPACE. UM WE HEARD MOMENTS AGO ABOUT POSSIBILITY OF A BAR. WE HEARD POSSIBILITY OF MAYBE, YOU KNOW, POSSIBLE HOTEL MOTEL OPTION THERE. WE'VE HEARD , UM, TATTOO. PARLORS I THINK THE CITY COUNCIL NEEDS TO TAKE THIS ENDED SERIOUS CONSIDERATION ABOUT WHAT THAT SAYS ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY. AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE. UM THIS IS NOT JUST A DISTRICT THREE CONSIDERATION. THIS IS A CITY OF DUNCANVILLE CONSIDERATION. I THINK WE HAVEN'T SEEN A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT OF THIS NATURE COME TO DUNCANVILLE IN QUITE SOME TIME, WHICH IS WHY A LOT OF THE CITIES AROUND US GET TO BENEFIT FROM THIS, SO I THINK WE HAVE TO BE SMART ABOUT MAKING THOSE DECISIONS AND TAKE INTO DEEP CONSIDERATION ABOUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO IMPACT. NOT JUST THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES BEHIND IT, BUT HOW IS THIS GOING TO AFFECT THE TRAFFIC FLOW? HOW IT'S GONNA AFFECT THE CHILDREN GETTING TO THEIR SCHOOLS AND HOW THIS IS GOING TO THE FACT THAT THIS CITY AS A WHOLE, UM SO IN THAT RESPECT, I'D LOVE SEEING PROGRESS. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, TO EXPLAIN THAT TO EVERYBODY THAT I'M HAPPY TO SEE SOMETHING BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF SEEING OTHER CITIES GET THINGS AND UNLIKE TO CONTINUE TO SHOP IN DUNCANVILLE, SO I LINK THINGS TO
[02:05:05]
SHOP FOR. I HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE THEM, YOU KNOW, INJECT TAX MONEY INTO THE CITY. SO GIVE ME A REASON. BUT DO IT SMARTLY. AND I ASKED FOR THAT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. EVERYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO DEAD AND HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK YET. COME ON UP, MR SIEBERT. PATRICIA EBERT, 115 SOUTH GREENSTONE LINE, DUNCANVILLE 751162 FAVOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOR OH TO WHEATLAND PLAZA. IT'S LONG OVERDUE. I DO HAVE A RESERVATION AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL AND STAFF ARE WORKING OUT TOO STICKY ATOMS THAT I MENTIONED ON NOVEMBER THE 15TH AND THAT WAS TAKING AWAY THE BLANKET APPROVAL FOR A BAR IN THE TASTING ROOM. TAP ROOM SLASH MICROBREWERY AND EVERYTHING WILL BE ON A CASE BY CASE. AH APPROVAL. SO I THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT MY LAST. SO YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF MOST OF WHAT MY CONCERNS WERE, BUT I STILL HAVE A CONCERN. I'M LOOKING AT THE IF THIS WAS IN THE NOVEMBER 15TH DOCUMENT, AND ALSO THE DECEMBER THE SIXTH AND I JUST NEED CLARIFICATION. FOR THE DECEMBER THE SIX IT SAYS ON PAGE 2 27 BUFFERING BETWEEN ROD OF WAY, AND IT SAYS THAT REQUIRES THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER BETWEEN A RIGHT OF WAY AND THE SITE. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO LANDSCAPE. BUFFALO LONG WAIT LAND ROAD. AND SO THIS IS WHERE I NEED CLARIFICATION. THE PROPOSAL WOULD BE TO CREATE A VARIABLE WITH BUFFER ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE AND INTO THE UNUTILIZED STREET RIGHT AWAY. IN ADDITION, IT IS PROPOSED TO ADD ON STREET PARKING IN THE UNDERUTILIZED TRAVEL LANE CLOSEST TO THE CURB. THE INTRODUCTION OF PARKING WOULD PROVIDE A TRANSITION FROM HEAVY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC TO THE SLOWER PACED, MORE PEDESTRIAN ORRY ENDED COMMUNITY PLAN PLAZA ALONG THE FRONT OF THE SIDE. I READ THAT AS WE'RE GOING TO TAKE AWAY ONE LINE OF UM. THE STREET OF WHEATLAND. WHICH FOR PARKING, AND THAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF A CHURCH AND A SCHOOL AND THREE LANES. I KNOW IT'LL SLOW IT DOWN. THANK YOU, MA'AM. LIKE TO HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED. SECOND MR DON MCBURNETT. MADE THE MOTION MISS CHERRY SECOND IT SO PLEASE VOTE. ALRIGHT SO UNANIMOUS DECISION CLOSING AT 8 24. PARK. COUNCIL. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OR COMMENTS. MR COATES. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM. YOU KNOW. SO FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY IT LIKE I DID LAST TIME. UM, THE ONSET THAT I AM IN FAVOR OF GOD, THIS WHOLE PROJECT AND THE IDEA OF REHABILITATING THAT THAT PROPERTY IS SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN EXCITED ABOUT. SINCE I FIRST HEARD ABOUT IT. AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY, UM YOU KNOW? THERE HAVE BEEN SOME STATEMENTS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SOME THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN SHOWN THIS TIME AROUND WHAT WE SAW THE FIRST TIME. AND I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT SOME OF THE PRESENTATIONS AND THE SLIDE SHOWS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO THE E. D. C. AND ALSO AT THE TOWN TOWN HALL MEETING. AND THEY'RE PRETTY SIMILAR TO WHAT? TO WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW. SO I DO WANT TO POINT THAT OUT. I DIDN'T GO BACK AND LOOK AND THEY'RE NOT.THEY'RE NOT A WHOLE LOT OF CHANGES. SO WHAT? WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW REALLY IS WHAT WE SAW BACK WHEN WE APPROVED THE GRANT AND KIND OF STARTED THIS PROCESS. YOU KNOW THAT? THAT BEING SAID, I SO WHEN IT COMES TO FOR EXAMPLE, THE BAR IS THERE. SOME OF THESE PROPOSED USES. THEY'RE JUST PROPOSED USES RIGHT SO POTENTIAL USES RIGHT SO UH, WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY LOOKING AT THERE'S SOMEBODY WITH PLANS FOR A BAR OR A TATTOO PARLOR OUTSIDE THE DOOR, AND
[02:10:02]
THEY'VE ALREADY GOT TENANTS LINED UP. IS THAT THE CASE THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT TO YOU, SIR, IS PERMITTED USE WITHIN THE DISTRICT. IT'S NOT SAYING THAT THAT'S GOING TO GO. THERE IS STILL HAS TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THE CFO AND ANYTHING ELSE IN THE CITY THERE BEFORE TO GO THERE. SO IT'S BASICALLY THESE ARE COMMITTED USES OF IN THAT DISTRICT. SO YEAH, THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THAT'S CLARIFIED THAT WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE JUST POTENTIAL. USES RIGHT TO THAT, AND I SAW THAT AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STAFF DOES IS THAT IN EACH TYPE OF DESIGNATION, WHETHER IT'S RETAIL URBAN, THERE MAY BE A LIST OF ALL THE THINGS THAT COULD POSSIBLY FALL IN THAT CATEGORY. AND SO ITS STAFF GAVE ME WERE EXAMPLES OF THINGS THAT CATEGORY . IT IS. BASICALLY THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN LISTENING TO WHAT YOU WANT TO DON'T WANT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO OUT RECRUITING THINGS THAT WE KNOW THE CITY IS NOT INTERESTED IN BUT THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE PERMITTED UNDER THAT DESIGNATION. HMM. THANK YOU SO AND ALONG THOSE LINES. SO SPEAKING OF, YOU KNOW, LISTENING TO WHAT? WHAT WE DON'T WANT. WE DON'T WANT WHAT WE WANT. WHAT WE DON'T WANT UH UM. YOU KNOW, I ALSO HAVE SOME RESERVATIONS ABOUT SOME OF THE USES PROPOSED POTENTIAL USES. UM YOU KNOW WHAT ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS. IF THE PROPERTY WERE ABLE TO CHANGE HANDS AND SO THESE THESE USES ARE ALLOWED. AND SO BEING ANY POTENTIAL OWNER OF THAT PROPERTY COULD COULD DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. I LIKE THE I LIKE THE VISION OF THE CURRENT DEVELOPER . BUT IF AT SOME POINT AND SO I'M SAYING THAT BECAUSE, UM AND WE ALREADY MENTIONED THE EVENT CENTER AND ADDING ANOTHER LAYER OF AH! STIPULATIONS THERE WITH ANOTHER SUV. ANOTHER LAYER OF APPROVAL. UM I AM NOT NOT IN FAVOR OF A BAR AT ALL. AND YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THAT WE AS A COUNCIL HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY OF REPRESENTING THE VALUES OF THE COMMUNITY, NOT TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT THOSE VALUES ARE. AND WE'RE NOT HERE TO INFLUENCE OR TRY TO CHANGE WHAT THE COMMUNITY'S VALUES ARE. AND SO I'VE HEARD QUITE A BIT THIS EVENING. AND, UM, THIS IS IN MY DISTRICT. THAT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT, UH, STRICTLY A BAR. AND SO I DO WANT TO SAY THAT BUT AS FAR AS THE EVENT CENTER THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT.BUT IF WE'VE GOT ANOTHER LAYER OF APPROVAL THERE WITH AN S U P, THEN, UH, I'D FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. UM AND THEN I'M ALSO AGAINST A TATTOO PARLOR. I DON'T KNOW IF THESE THINGS ARE NECESSARY FOR THIS TO SUCCEED. BUT AGAIN, I'M JUST KIND OF RELAYING WHAT WHAT'S BEING COMMUNICATED TO ME TO, YOU KNOW BY PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UM. THIS SORT, MR. TENNANT YES, SIR. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THE BAR CONSULT BECAUSE THERE WAS A MISSION. THE BOUTIQUE HOTEL. I DO APOLOGIZE FOR MY LACK OF EXPLANATION. EARLIER BARS ARE CONSIDERED AUXILIARY USED TO HOTELS SO YOU CAN'T JUST HAVE A BAR TAVERN X. THIS IS MORE OF A HILLARY USED TO THE HOTEL. WHICH IS WHEN WE'RE USING THE TERM BAR. YOU CAN'T HAVE A BAR PER SE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE FOOD THAT FOOD, ALCOHOL, UM THE COMPONENT IF YOU WILL FOR IT. SO WITH THAT STATED THIS IS MORE OF AN AUXILIARY USED TO THE HOTEL THAT IS ALSO PART OF THE PLAN AS WELL. LOOK THAT THAT THAT WOULD BE CLARIFIED AND IN THE ORDINANCE SCENARIOS, SIR. OKAY? YEAH, BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT THE RETAIL SERVICE USES, I JUST SEE BAR 75% ALCOHOL SALES. SO THAT'S WHAT THE AUXILIARY TO THE HOTEL? YES, OKAY. WHICH IS LIKE OUR CURRENT AND JESSICA LITTLE BIT FURTHER, IF YOU DON'T MIND, SO THAT'S LIKE P D. I MEAN OUR CURRENT DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AS WELL. AND THEN SO AND I STILL HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE GREEN SPACE. UH AND I KNOW THAT WE DID GET AN EXPLANATION FOR THAT. THAT LAST TIME AND THAT EXPLANATION MADE SENSE, I GUESS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER? AS FAR AS THE DEVELOPERS CONCERNED ANY OTHER OPTIONS. YOU KNOW THAT THAT WE COULD DO THE GREEN SPACE BECAUSE REDUCING IT TO 5% I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S ALMOST NOTHING UNDERSTANDABLE, SIR. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE PUSH AND PULLS THE SOUTH WAS ARGUING WITH OR DEBATING WITH AS WELL BECAUSE, OF COURSE, THERE'S THE SUBSTITUTION. WHERE IF YOU WHERE YOU PUT EXTRA GREEN SPACE, YOU ALSO REDUCING PARKING, SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THAT BALANCE THAT HAPPY MEDIAN AND AGAIN WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FROM THE STANDPOINT AS IT STANDS NOW. WHERE THERE IS CURRENTLY NO GREEN SPACES AT ALL AS IT WAS BUILT BACK WHEN IT WAS PREVIOUSLY BUILT. IT WAS BUILT AS A WHOLE CONCRETE MONSTER. SO WE'RE BASICALLY SOFTENING THAT IN THE APPLICANT HAS TAKEN THE DILIGENCE OF ACTUALLY SOFTENED A LOT MORE CONSIDERABLE THAN I'M CURRENTLY IS NOW. JUST 11 OTHER COMMENT ON THAT, AS YOU SAW FROM THE SLIDE PRESENTATION THAT MR TENNANT MENTIONED THERE WAS 2500. SQUARE FEET OF EXISTING SCREEN GREEN SPACE CURRENTLY ONCE IT'S SAID, AND DONE, INCLUDING THE RIGHT AWAY SPACE WILL BE 49,000 SQUARE FEET OF GREEN SPACE ON THE DEVELOPMENT, SO THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OF GREEN SPACE AND A PORTION OF THAT I BELIEVE 21,000 SQUARE FEET. IT'S IN YOUR PACKET. IS IN SOME OF OUR RIGHT AWAY THAT THE DEVELOPER WILL BE MAINTAINING FOR US. SO THAT'S THE IF YOU LOOK THERE. ON THE TO YOUR I GUESS IT BE TO YOUR RIGHT. YOU
[02:15:06]
CAN SEE THEIR TOTAL AND ADDITIONAL OFF. OFF SITE LANDSCAPE IS 49,335 SQUARE FEET AS OPPOSED TO 2500, WHICH EXISTS NOW. AND APPROXIMATELY 21,000 OF THAT IS IN OUR RIGHT AWAY, WHICH THEY WILL BE MAINTAINING SO THAT'S OF NO COST TO US. OKAY I GUESS I MISREAD THE REQUEST FOR THE FOR THE EXEMPTIONS AND HAVING IT REDUCED TO 5. SO I JUST MISREAD THAT. NO IT IS. IT IS A REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE. UM BUT BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A LARGE AREA. UH, THE PERCENTAGE THE PERCENTAGE WOULD BE A LARGE AREA OF OPEN SPACE AS WELL. BUT GIVEN THAT IT'S SUCH A SMALL AREA OF GREEN SPACE THAT WE HAVE NOW IT IS EXPONENTIALLY GREATER, WITH THE APPLICANTS PROPOSING RELATIVE TO IT OPEN SPACE THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY AND THIS ISN'T UM I'M ASKING ABOUT THIS AGAIN.BUT YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T A DEAL BREAKER FOR ME, BUT IF AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE COULD CONTINUE TO LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS AND JUST MAYBE LOOK AT OTHER WAYS THAT WE COULD MAINTAIN OR INCREASE THE GREEN SPACE THERE. AND THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS THE. EXEMPTION FROM THE SCREENING. REQUIREMENTS FOR DUMPSTERS AND EQUIPMENT ON GROUND EQUIPMENT. IS THAT IS THAT STILL SOMETHING THAT DEVELOPED THE DEVELOPERS REQUESTING? YES I BELIEVE SO. A LOT OF THOSE, UH, DUMPSTERS THAT ARE ARE ASKING FOR THE EXEMPTION. WOULD BE BEHIND BUILDING A THERE'S A FEW SHOWN, UM. BUT I THINK THE APPLICANT MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION BETTER, BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THAT'S WHERE THE UN ENCLOSED DUMPSTERS, FOR THE MOST PART ARE LOCATED. LET ME LET ME HERE IF I MAY, UM, CURRENTLY THE WAY THAT'S THE WAY THE DUMPSTERS ARE SITUATED. YOU HAVEN'T ALL ACROSS THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. HE WANTS TO CENTRALIZE THE DUMPSTERS, SO THERE'S ONE LOCATION WHERE EVERYONE'S GOING TO UTILIZE. AND THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE, UH, THE LITTER IN THE TRASH THAT YOU'RE FINDING WITHIN THE LANDSCAPING BEHIND THE OR THE GREEN AREA THE RIGHT AWAY THAT YOU FIND BEHIND THAT? THE BUILDING THAT WAS CURRENTLY MENTIONED A MINUTE AGO, SO YOU'D BE ABLE TO POLICE IT BETTER AND HAVE LESS LITTERING, HOPEFULLY AND SO BASICALLY ALL THE TENANTS AS YOU KNOW, FROM THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT THERE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A BACK OF BUILDING EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ENTERING IT FROM THE FRONT, SO IT'S TO MAKE IT CLEANER. AND HAVE MORE PEOPLE FREQUENTING THE BACK AND THE FRONT. SO YOU'D HAVE LESS LITERAL CONCEIVABLY, OF COURSE, THAT THE LANDLORD OR THE DEVELOPMENT SPEAK TO THAT. BUT IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW LATER TO BE IN FRONT OR TRASH BINS WILL BE IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING, SO THEY HAVE TO GO TO A COMMON PLACE TO DUMP. THEIR TRASH. AND OF COURSE, IT'S UP TO THE LANDLORD AND TENANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT TRASH AND THAT THAT WAS DUMPSTERS ARE PICKED UP AND MAINTAINED, ETCETERA. BUT ESSENTIALLY WOULD HAVE PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THEIR BUILDING SPACE AND SEEN IF THERE WAS LITTLE OR NOT, SO YOU WOULD HOPEFULLY HAVE MORE POLICING OF IT, OR AT LEAST COMPLAINING IF THERE'S LITTER TAKING PLACE, TYPICALLY OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND. BUT SINCE YOU'LL BE HAVING A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING IN AND OUT OF THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE AS MUCH LITTLE CONCEIVABLE. SO THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE THE LITTER. THE DUMPSTERS IN ONE CENTRALIZED LOCATION VERSUS ALONG THE BACK OF THE ALL ALONG THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. AND WHERE IS THAT CENTRALIZED LOCATION ON HERE? OKAY THAT'S NOT CENTRALIZED. I'M LOOKING. I'M LOOKING OVER HERE SOMEWHERE. IS IT OFF? IS IT BEHIND BUILDING A OFF TO THE IF YOU LOOK AT BUILDING ICER RIGHT THERE, WHERE THAT LITTLE GASHES IN THIS LITTLE PORTION OF THE AGES OF THOSE THAT WORK ELSEWHERE. OH, YES, YES. RIGHT HERE, SIR. SO THAT'S NOT EXACTLY CENTRALIZED IN IT. FOR THE BUILDINGS IN BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS. YES, SIR. OH, RIGHT THERE. HERE. HERE. IN HERE.
YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MR CONTROLLERS. YEAH, YEAH, TO THAT POINT. THOSE DUMPSTERS BEHIND BUILDING A, UM FROM NORTH TO SOUTH OR THEY'RE SCREENED IN THE SENSE THAT THERE IS A SIX FT. UH SPLIT FACE BLOCK WALL THAT WAS PUT IN THERE AS PART OF THE REQUIREMENT WHEN THAT WAS BUILT.
UH SO THEY'RE SCREENED FROM PUBLIC VIEW, EXCEPT FOR SOMEBODY THAT DRIVES THAT ALLEY, WHICH NOT MANY PEOPLE DO. UM SO THAT IN AND OF ITSELF TAKES CARE OF ITSELF. FROM A SCREENING STANDPOINT, I KNOW THAT I HEARD THE DEVELOPER TALKING ABOUT AND I CAN'T REMEMBER THE TERM BUT MORE NATURAL TYPE SCREENING AROUND THE DUMPSTER LOCATIONS THAT MIGHT BE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. YEAH, THERE LIES A QUESTION THAT I HAVE IT'S TWO PART ABOUT THE SCREENING OF
[02:20:06]
THAT AREA WHEREVER THAT CENTRAL LOCATION IS DETERMINED TO BE, BUT ALSO TO ADDRESS THE GENTLEMAN'S STATEMENT THAT WAS MADE ABOUT THE TREES THAT WERE TAKEN DOWN NOT BY THE DEVELOPER.THEY WERE TAKEN DOWN YEARS AGO. UM THAT WOULD BE AN UNCAPPED ALONG THOSE SOUTH ALEXANDRA HOUSES. AND SO THERE WAS A LOT OF NATURAL SCREENING. IT WASN'T PRETTY. BUT IT DID SEPARATE THEM FROM THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. PLUS, WE HAD A FABRIC SCREENING REQUIREMENT ON A CHAIN LINK FENCE, WHICH IN IT OF ITSELF IS NOT VERY PRETTY, AND IT'S HARD TO MAINTAIN SO THE SCREENING IDEA WITH NATURAL VEGETATION IS INTERESTING TO ME. I THINK IT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED. BUT I MAY MAKE THIS MAY BE A QUESTION FOR THE DEVELOPER LATER ON. UM, I SEE. EXHIBIT B. EXHIBIT FIVE.
I'M SORRY. UH, GROUND COVER. TYPES OF ELEMENTS FOR THAT AREA BACK THERE, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING GROWING. TWO AND I DON'T SAY TREES OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD GROW TO HELP FACILITATE SOME OF THE COMEBACK OF THE BIRDS PLACE FOR BIRDS, SO I'M NOT SUGGESTING TREES, BUT I THOUGHT I HEARD EARLY ON IN THE FIRST PRESENTATION THAT THERE WERE SOME OTHER TYPES OF NATIVE PLANTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GROWN BACK THERE TO DECORATED UP A LITTLE BIT MORE AND GIVE A LITTLE MORE. UM ABOVE GROUND SCREENING. SO THAT. LOOKING OUT OF THE BACKYARD THAT USED TO HAVE THE TREES. AT LEAST THEY GET SOMETHING BACK. NOW THAT IS HALFWAY ATTRACTIVE TO LOOK AT AND WHICH SCREEN THOSE DUMPSTERS FURTHER UP THE HILL. BECAUSE THE DUMPSTERS ARE AT THE TOP. SO BUT THAT'S JUST MY POINT. AND MAYBE MAYBE THE DEVELOPER CAN TALK TO THAT. WHAT THE PLANS MIGHT BE OVER IN THAT AREA. THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE? BLESS YOU. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM. GENTLEMEN WE HAD A CITIZEN THAT ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT BUFFERING. COULD YOU ADDRESS THAT POLICE? SURE.
THINK FOR ONE MOMENT. ADDRESS MY NOTES.
SO THIS WAS FROM THE SECTION BUFFERING BETWEEN THE RIGHT OF WAY. IN WHICH OUR CODE REQUIRES A LANDSCAPE BUFFER BETWEEN A RIGHT OF WAY AND THE SITE. SO THE APPLICANT WAS HAD MENTIONED THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG WHEATLAND ROAD AND THAT THE PROPOSAL WOULD BE TO CREATE A VARIABLE WITH BUT FOR ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE AND INTO THE UNUTILIZED STREET RIGHT AWAY. UH IN ADDITION, IT IS PROPOSED TO ADD ON STREET PARKING IN THE UNDERUTILIZED TRAVELING CLOSEST TO THE CURB. THE INTRODUCTION OF PARKING WOULD PROVIDE A TRANSITION FROM HEAVY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC TO THE SLOWER PACE, MORE PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED COMMUNITY PLAZA. ALONG THE FRONT OF THE SITE. UM. SO THE BUFFERING THAT'S MENTIONED AGAIN IS TO CREATE A MORE PLEASANT PEDESTRIAN LOOK AND FEEL. AND, UM. I HOPE THAT ADDRESSES YOUR QUESTION.
OKAY I THINK HER QUESTION RELATED TOWARDS WHEATLAND ROAD IS AS WELL AND POTENTIALLY BEING A HOW ARE YOU? REDUCED DOWN. AS PART OF THIS PROPOSAL THAT WOULD THAT'S NOT PART OF THE P D PROPOSAL TO REDUCE ANY RIGHT OF WAY. UM, THIS IS A ZONING MECHANISM. SO THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS REQUEST. SO AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION COUNCIL MEMBER, SO THE APPLICANT HAS DISCUSS THE POTENTIAL. FOR REDUCTION OF THE HIGHWAY OR THE STREET WHEATLAND ROAD AND UTILIZING ONE OF THOSE LANES AS A POTENTIAL BUFFER OR POTENTIAL. PARKING AREA, HOWEVER, THAT HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED BEFORE THIS COUNCIL THAT WOULD COME IN THE LATER DATE. THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STUDY DONE ON PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC ON RIGHT AWAY ON TRAFFIC COUNTS. ON TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND HOW IT WOULD ACTIVATE THE CENTER. SO THERE IS A PRESENTATION AND THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STUDY DONE ON THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT UTILIZATION AS A TEMPORARY PARKING SPACE, NOT A PERMANENT. WE HAVE IN THE DISCUSSIONS WITH THAT, AND THAT
[02:25:05]
WOULD COME IN A LATER DATE. BUT AS AS MR WARREN MENTIONED THAT IT'S NOT PRESENTED BEFORE YOU TODAY. UM BUT POTENTIALLY, THAT COULD BE AN ADDITIONAL BUFFER TO THE SITE. AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN AND RESIDENTIAL USES SURROUNDING THIS FACILITY OR SURROUNDING THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THE IDEA WOULD BE TO ACTIVATE IT SO THAT YOU'D HAVE PEOPLE WALKING AND HAVING MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ACCESS FROM THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS, SO SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STUDY HAS BEEN DONE IN RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY BY ONE OF OUR CITIZENS, AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH THAT. AND THAT IS PART OF THE SLOWING DOWN THE TRAFFIC THERE ON WHEATLAND ROAD AND BEING ABLE TO WRITE A BUFFER FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT THAT'S NOT BEFORE YOU TODAY, BUT THAT WOULD BE A SEPARATE PRESENTATION FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. OKAY? SAID MANAGER ALSO, I THINK WHAT THEY WERE ALSO SPEAKING OF AS WE TALKED ABOUT IT THE LAST TIME IS THAT THEY'RE USING PART OF THEIR EXISTING LAND TO CREATE THE BUFFER. AND SO WHERE WE SAW THAT PARKING ON THAT TOP AREA, I BELIEVE YOU SPOKE ON THE FACT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO USE THEIR PROPERTY FOR THE FIRST LEVEL OF THE BUFFER. IS THAT NOT CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. MR CONTROLLERS. VERSUS THE ATTENTION IS THAT IS THE PICTURE THAT WE HAVE UP RIGHT NOW. UM. IS THAT THE WAY THIS WOULD LOOK WITH THE REDUCTION? ALREADY IN EFFECT. SH THE WITH THE CURSOR. UH, TRY TO DENOTE A FEW THINGS. THIS IS THE EDGE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. AT THIS DOTTED LINE. AND THEN THIS IS ACTUALLY THIS DASHED LINE IS THE PROPERTY LINE, SO THIS IS WHERE THE PROPERTY LINE BEGINS. AND UH, THIS AREA BETWEEN THE, UH RIGHT AWAY AND THE PROPERTY LINE. IS OUT OF THE JURISDICTION OF THE OTHER REQUEST. OKAY SO THAT FIRST LINE THAT FIRST LINE THAT YOU POINTED TO UM WHAT DID YOU SAY? THAT WAS RIGHT THERE. I BELIEVE THAT'S THE EDGE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. AND SO I THINK IT'S THAT'S MAYBE THIS LINE.IT'S THAT LINE LINE OUT THERE IS A WATER LINE. YES SIR. OKAY, SO NOW YOU'RE NOW YOU'VE GOT THE, UH, THE CORRECT ACTUAL CURVE, A ACTUAL CURVE. YEAH OKAY, SO IT ANSWERED THE QUESTION THAT YOU WERE ASKED THE THIS IS NOT. THIS IS NOT THE PICTURE OF THE LANDSCAPING. WITH THE REQUEST OF REDUCTION. INCLUDED IN THIS NO, OKAY. SO WHEN WE DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF WHAT IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE WITH THE EXCLUSION OF THE WELL WITH. WE HAVE A PICTURE THAT'S SHOWING US WHAT WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH THE LANDSCAPING THAT'S REQUIRED UNDER THE CURRENT ORDINANCE, AND THAT WHICH IS BEING REQUESTED. THIS IS WHAT'S BEEN REQUESTED. THIS IS WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED A REDUCTION. OKAY? THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. THANK YOU. UM I'LL TELL YOU GIVEN WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. LITTLE LANDSCAPE ME DOES HAVE. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS.
I'M JUST SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, AND I UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY AND TRYING TO FIT IN ALL OF THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPING ON A PROPERTY THAT HAS PARKING ISSUES AS TO LEAVE ROOM FOR ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS ARE GOING TO BE BUILT AS THE PROJECT GOES ON, SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
UM I JUST I JUST WONDER I KNOW IN OLDER ORDINANCE MAY STILL BE ON THE BOOKS WHEN A DEVELOPER COULDN'T FIT ALL THE TREES ON THEIR PROPERTY. THOSE TREES THAT COULDN'T FIT ON THE PROPERTY.
THERE WAS A STIPULATION. THAT YOU WOULD DONATE THAT TO A PARK OR A SCHOOL OR SOMETHING IN THE CITY. UM I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S STILL IN PLACE, BUT I'D BE INTERESTED TO KNOW. IF THAT'S STILL IN PLACE. UH, SO THAT WE CAN TREES WE CALCULATED TO GO IN HERE. THAT WE CAN PUT THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE AND PUT THEM TO USE. I THINK WE'VE GOT ADEQUATE. GREEN GREENERY IN HERE RIGHT NOW, THE WAY THIS IS WHAT THE REDUCTION BUT I'M JUST IT'S JUST AN IDEA THAT IF WE STILL HAVE IT ON THE BOOKS WHERE WE CAN SUBSTITUTE TREES WE WANT TO ELIMINATE BUT DONATING THEM TO
[02:30:05]
DIFFERENT PUBLIC PROPERTIES AROUND THE CITY. THAT MIGHT BE AN IDEA. WHERE WE STILL GET THE TREES. THEY'RE JUST NOT ON THIS LOCATION. THANK YOU. SEEING THE OTHER DISCUSSION NOW ACCEPT THE MOTION TO APPROVE. MR COATES. THANK YOU. UH, HOW MANY LIVING UNITS ARE IN THE NOTE ANOTHER APPROXIMATELY 50 UNITS, APPROXIMATELY 50 UNITS. WHAT'S THE SIZE ON EACH UNIT? THE EXACT SIZE OF THAT PARTICULAR SPACE. IS APPROXIMATELY LOOKING AT THE MATH HERE. I BELIEVE IT'S BUILDING D AND B BILLION E AND D . IT'S ABOUT 65,000 SQUARE FEET. I'M NOT MISTAKEN. JUST THE HOUSING THE HOUSING. SO AS FAR AS THE PARKING. SO WILL THERE BE DEDICATED PARKING SPACES JUST FOR THE LIVING, OR WOULD THEY BE SHARING WITH THE SHOPPING CENTER , AND SO, YEAH POTENTIAL CONFLICTS THERE, SO THEY'RE THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE A SHARED PARKING ON THE SITE. AS YOU KNOW, DURING BUSINESS HOURS , THERE WOULD BE ACTIVITY TAKING PLACE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE WOULD BE GOING TO WORK AND THEY WOULDN'T BE PARKED THERE. THE REQUIREMENTS ON THE DEVELOPMENT REQUIRE APPROXIMATELY 318. PARKING SPACES. BUT BEING PART OF OUR ORDINANCE IZCO IS THAT UNDER OPPORTUNITY AREAS, YOU CAN REDUCE IT BY ABOUT 25% WHICH WOULD PUT IT AT 238 REQUIRED PARKING SPACES IF WE FOLLOW THAT SAME PROCESS, AND SO THAT WOULD REQUIRE ABOUT 238 PARKING SPACES. THERE'S CURRENTLY 255. ON THIS PROJECT, SO WE ARE WITHIN THAT 25% REDUCTION. BUT YES, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. DURING BUSY HOURS, MAYBE EVEN ON WEEKENDS. YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME ISSUES TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST AND TRANSPARENT. BUT DURING THE WORK WEEK WHEN PEOPLE ARE GONE, AND AFTER HOURS YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY PARKING ISSUES. AND OF THOSE 250 SPACES. HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE REQUIRED FOR THE LIVING. STRUCTURE I DON'T I DON'T HAVE THAT SPECIFIC NUMBER. MAYBE YOU WOULD I GUESS, JUST BASED ON. HOW MANY OCCUPANTS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE A BALLPARK AT TWO SPACES FOR EVERY UNIT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 100 SPACES. I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO SAY, JUST JUST SEEING THE DETAILS ON THAT. I MEAN, SURE, SURE. YOU'LL HAVE A HANDLE ON IT. BUT YOU HAVE THAT. YOU KNOW THAT. THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT POTENTIALLY BE A REAL BIG PROBLEM. IN THE FUTURE. AND YEAH, IF THE DEVELOPERS HERE AND IF HE CAN ANSWER THAT SUDAN IS 72, SIR. 72 SPACES. YES, SIR. FOR HOW MANY UNITS HIS BASIS. FOR YES. HOW MANY UNITS? I WAS COUNTING THE LIBERAL RESIDENTIAL UNITS? YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. ABOUT 50 ROUGHLY. ALL RIGHT, UH, AND THEN ALSO. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BECAUSE QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED ABOUT THE ROAD THAT GOES THROUGH THERE AND SO THE IDEA IS, YOU KNOW, TURN THAT RODE OFF TO THE RIGHT. UH, CUT OFF THAT ENTRANCE THERE. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THAT THAT'S NOT EVEN A CITY STREET. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE PROPERTY IN THE PAST IS JUST ALLOWED TRAFFIC THROUGH THERE, SO TECHNICALLY THAT'S NOT EVEN A STREET THAT WE HAVE. THAT'S RIGHT. OKAY. I THINK THAT'S IT.NO. GOT ONE MORE. HOLD THAT ONE. GO AHEAD. ON THAT POINT. I WAS GOING TO ANSWER THAT VERY SAME QUESTION. I HAD TO STEP OUT. SORRY BUT THE GENTLEMAN HAD MENTIONED THE CLOSING OFF OF ACTING. AS AN ACCESS THROUGH THE PROPERTY. UM HAS THAT BEEN DISCUSSED? TO THE EXTENT THAT I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT WE WERE CLOSING OFF ACTIVE? YES SO ACTING CAN STILL GO THROUGH. BUT AS YOU KNOW, WITH ANY SHOPPING CENTER ANY DEVELOPMENT YOU WANT TO SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN AND YOU WANT TO HAVE PEOPLE. ACTIVATING THE SITE. YOU WANTED TO ACTUALLY DRIVE THROUGH IT AND LOOK AT IT AND SLOW IT DOWN. SO IT'S ACTUALLY AS YOU PROBABLY AWARE. THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE RACING THROUGH THAT PROPERTY AND SO PEOPLE THAT ARE ALWAYS WALKING AND HANGING OUT AND ENJOYING THE AFTERNOON. YOU DON'T WANT A THOROUGHFARE THAT'S GOING TO DRIVE STRAIGHT THROUGH AND POSSIBLY CREATE ACCENT. SO YOU WANT TO SLOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT STILL HAVE ACCESS TO WHEATLAND ROADS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY. THAT'S CORRECT. ULTIMATELY DO WE UNDERWROTE? OKAY THANK YOU JUST WANT TO ADD TO THAT THAT THAT WAS ALSO PART OF THE DISCUSSION WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SOME TRAFFIC CONTROL. AH AREAS IN
[02:35:02]
THAT AREA HAS BEEN. WE'VE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH SPEEDING THERE. WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THINGS WE CAN DO TO ALSO MANAGE TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE OPTIONS AND HOW WE'RE WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT, THOUGH THANK YOU, MA'AM. YOU GOT ONE MORE? YES, SIR. I GOT ONE MORE. THANK YOU. SO WITH THE REQUEST FOR YOU KNOW ALLOWANCE, TOO. THE SUNDRY SHOPS, RETAIL SHOPS AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE REQUEST. SOMEWHERE SOMEWHERE. I THINK I SAW THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE USE ALLOWED IN THAT DEVELOPMENT, SO IF IT'S APPROVED, CURRENTLY THERE'S A DOLLAR TREE OR YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING ALREADY THERE SO. BASED ON THIS, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY ALLOWANCE FOR ANY OTHERS, OKAY? RIGHT. THANK YOU. MR CONTROL, SHE GOT WONDERED LIGHTS ON SO NO ONE HAS ANYONE ANYTHING ELSE WILL TAKE. I'LL ACCEPT THE MOTION TO APPROVE. MAYOR PROTEIN I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS PROJECT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S A GOOD START.YES THERE MIGHT BE SOME CONSIDERATIONS THAT THAT PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT. THIS IS A PROJECT THAT'S CHANGING DUNCANVILLE. AND IT'S A GOOD PROJECT AND THEN IT'S DO THIS.
UM I WOULD SAY THAT THIS DEVELOPERS ALSO KNOWS THE INTEREST BECAUSE HE'S HE SAT BEHIND HER AS WELL. AND HE UNDERSTANDS WITH WHAT THE CITIZENS KIND OF WANT, AND I THINK HE'S GOT THAT PEOPLE'S HEART AS WELL. AND SO I'M GONNA MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE. THE MAYOR PRO TEM, I'M GONNA I SECOND THAT MOTION, BUT I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE DEVELOPER FOR HEARINGS. SOME OF OUR DIFFICULT QUESTIONS AND RESPONDING TO SOME OF THOSE IN A FAVORABLE WAY THAT I THINK WILL, UM NOT HURT THE PROJECT'S CONTINUATION, BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THINGS THAT THE PUBLIC HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT. SO, UM, I'D LIKE TO THANK HIM FOR MAKING SOME UM, ANSWERS TO SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT WE HAVE. THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MCBURNETT AND SECOND FROM MR CONTRERAS. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 60. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. SO CENTER SECRETARY. I DON'T SIX ON OUR
