UH, I HAVE THREE CITIZENS FOR THE ASSISTANCE FORM AND ALSO COUNCIL.

THERE WAS A CITIZENS THAT WAS SUBMITTED ONLINE AND THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN YOUR INBOX EARLIER TODAY.

UH, SO THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE HERE TODAY IS DYNAMIC CURTIS, COME ON UP.

UM, YOU DO HAVE, UH, THREE MINUTES TO TALK ABOUT YOUR TOPIC CODE ENFORCEMENT ON A CORE STREET WITH PARENTS ON CAPRICORN.

ROADS OR CERTAIN SECTIONS OF CAPRICORN ARE PRETTY MUCH DATED AND VERY MUCH AGED AND THEY'RE NOT SAFE FOR US TO TRAVEL AND WALK ON.

HOW ARE YOU TODAY? GOOD EVENING TO THE MAYOR AND EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS JANELLA CURTIS.

I RESIDE AT 1448 ATKINS STREET.

UM, I'VE BEEN WITH THE CEDAR CREST PIT FROM ITS BEGINNING.

I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME THUS FAR, BUT HAVE SOME CONCERNS REGARDING THE STREETS, UM, THAT ARE LABELED WITH STATES.

I BELIEVE.

I MEAN THE STATE STREETS, I THINK THE SUBDIVISION IS CALLED CEDAR HILL EAST, BUT I'M NOT FOR SURE.

UM, I DROVE THROUGH ONE EVENING AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS NO LIGHTING AND THE ENTIRE

[00:35:01]

UM, I'VE CONTACTED ENCORE AND HAD OVER 30 LIGHTS WERE PLACED IN THE CITY HALL, EAST SUBDIVISION BECAUSE, UM, THEY HAVE A LOT OF KIDS IN THAT AREA WHO ATTEND PLUMMER ELEMENTARY AND IT'S EXTREMELY DARK AND DANGEROUS.

UM, THEY HAVE COMPLETED THE LIGHT CHANGES.

UM, THEY ONLY HAVE TWO THAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER SUBJECT.

UM, ON MARCH 15TH, MY DAUGHTER BEGAN ATTENDING IN-PERSON SCHOOL AT HIGHLANDS ELEMENTARY.

UM, I'VE NOTICED THAT ONE STREET WE DRIVE ON IN PARTICULAR IS NEPTUNE IN THIS AREA.

UM, I REACHED OUT TO CODE ENFORCEMENT AND I ASKED HIM, WHEN IS THE LAST TIME THAT ANYONE HAS DROVE IN THIS AREA REGARDING CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES? AND THEY TOLD ME THE PERSON WHO DOES OUR AREA WILL BE AFTER 30 DAYS, BUT THEY WOULD GET ON IT.

UM, APRIL 15TH IS COMING UP IN THE STREETS.

STILL LOOKS THE SAME.

I CHALLENGE YOU GUYS TO PLEASE DRIVE DOWN NEPTUNE BECAUSE IT'S TRASH AND DEBRIS AND IT'S BEEN THERE.

THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH WEEK.

UM, THAT IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT.

UM, ANOTHER ISSUE WHEN YOU COME OUT OF OUR AREA, WHICH IS CEDAR CREST, YOU MAKE A LEFT OR A RIGHT.

THERE IS A SIGN THAT TELL YOU, HEY, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH A DEAD END STREET.

WHEN I PUT IN THE TICKET IN CODE FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT, THEY TOLD ME, YES, WE'VE CUT THE LIMBS DOWN, BUT HOWEVER, THE LIMBS ARE RIGHT THERE ON THE GROUND.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS.

IF I HAVE TO PUT IN ANOTHER TICKET TO ASK THEM TO REMOVE THE LENS THAT ARE HANGING DOWN AROUND THE SIGN, UM, AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WE'VE HAD OVER FOUR, UM, 18 WHEELER VEHICLES I'VE REACHED OUT, I'VE ASKED WHAT CAN WE DO? WHAT CAN WE DO? I'VE NOTICED TWO DAYS AGO, ONE OF THE 18 WHEELERS ARE NO LONGER PARKING ON THE STREET.

THEY'RE NOW PARKING ON A EMPTY LOT ON MASSEY.

SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH MY CONCERN.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO JUST GET OUR CITY UP TO CODE? WE ARE PREMIER CITY.

I JUST WANT TO SEE MORE CHANGE AND MORE ACTION WHERE I LIVE AT.

ARE WE LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH OUT TO BIG VENDORS AND LIKE WHERE, UM, NEXT TO THE CRAB PLACE ARE WE LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE'S A WAY SOMEBODY WOULD BE WILLING TO LEASE THAT OUT FOR THREE MONTHS AND DO SOME TYPE OF A SEASONAL, UM, POP-UP, YOU KNOW, TO WHERE WE CAN GET SOME FUNDING AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE OUT OF TOWN TO ACTUALLY SPEND OUR DOLLARS BECAUSE THE DOLLARS ARE LEAVING CEDAR HILL.

MIX IDAHO.

ALEXA, SONYA JENKINS.

TOPIC IS RECREATIONAL USAGE IN THE SEDER BROOK SUBDIVISION, VACANT BUILDING LOSS OF BUSINESS AND UNCLAIMED PROPERTY.

HEY, HOW ARE YOU? YOU WANT ME TO WAIT TIL IT GETS RESET? OKAY.

SO, UH, GOOD EVENING MAYOR TO THE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

UH, MY NAME IS TANYA JENKINS.

I LIVE AT EIGHT ONE SIX CLOVER HILL LANE.

I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT HERE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 YEARS.

UM, MY FIRST, UM, STATEMENT IS, IS IT A WAY FOR US TO GET MORE THAN THREE MINUTES? I FEEL LIKE I'M ON A TIME CRUNCH TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING IN.

AND I FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES I DON'T GET TO SAY EVERYTHING THAT I WANT TO SAY.

UM, THE VERY FIRST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS RECREATIONAL USE AND THE SHADY BROOK AREA, SHADED WORK AREAS MORE THAN 34 YEARS OLD, TEXAS EQUAL SERVICE VOTE SEAT, EQUAL REPRESENTATION, CITIZENS EQUAL OUR COMMUNITY, ORGANIZED LEADERSHIP EQUALS CHANGE AND IMPROVEMENT.

I, UH, SPOKE WITH LEAH CARTER AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OTHER PEOPLE.

I THINK STACY GRAVES WAS ON IT.

I THINK I ENDED THE EMAIL WITH COPYING YOU, UH, MAY OR MASON.

UM, I HAD ASKED ABOUT IF THERE WAS FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR US TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF RECREATIONAL USE, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO PARTS BENCHES, ANYTHING IN THE SHADY GROUP, UH, COMMUNITY, IF I WANT TO GO FOR A WALK OR IF I WANT TO SIT OUTSIDE AND TALK TO A NEIGHBOR, I EITHER HAVE TO DO IT IN MY OWN YARD OR, UM, TAKE THEM IN MY BACKYARD.

AND I ASKED IF THERE WAS SOME AVAILABILITY OR FUNDING AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO JUST PUT PARK BENCHES OUT, YOU KNOW, RECYCLED BEANS, ANYTHING TO LET US KNOW, LET US KNOW AS CITIZENS, YOU GUYS CARE ABOUT THE SHADY BROOK COMMUNITY.

UM, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE IS A PIECE OF LAND THAT BELONGS TO THE CITY THAT POTENTIALLY POTENTIALLY CAN BE DEVELOPED INTO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

UH, LEAH WANTED ME TO DO A SURVEY AND AFTER WE HAD SOME EXCHANGE FOR THE EMAIL, I KIND OF THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

WELL, THAT'S KIND OF NOT MY JOB.

THAT'S WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES JOB IS, IS TO LOOK OUT THERE.

AND AS YOU GUYS ARE DOING THE BUDGET TO SAY, HEY, SHADY BROOK HAS NOTHING.

LET'S SEE IF WE CAN, YOU KNOW, DIVERT SOME FUNDS OVER TO THEM AND GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME RECREATIONAL USE IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

SO, UM, I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO GET BACK TO ME ON THAT AND POLL THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S NOT FOR ME TO PULL MY NEIGHBORS IT'S FOR THE CITY TO POLL US AND ASK US WHAT WE WANT.

SO I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE IN THE CITY TO TAKE THAT CHALLENGE AND POTENTIALLY REACH OUT TO US, MY NEXT THING IS ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

UM, BIG BOX COMPANIES ARE LEAVING THE CITY LEFT AND RIGHT.

UM, I'M HAVING TO LEAVE THE CITY TO GO DO A LOT OF MY SHOPPING AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, BUT THAT'S THE REALITY.

UM, ARE WE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO CATCH THE UPCOMING TRENDS, UM, OVER IN FORT WORTH? UM, THE TURKEY HUT FROM CEDAR HILL CAME UP AND DID A POP-UP SHOP MADE A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

[00:40:01]

UM, MY NEXT THING IS ABOUT UNCLAIMED PROPERTY AND THAT SAME EMAIL WHERE I WAS SPEAKING WITH, UM, LEAH, I TALKED ABOUT HOW CERTAIN DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL, IF YOU GO OUT THERE TO UNCLAIMED PROPERTY, A LOT OF DEPARTMENTS, FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE ISD Y'ALL HAVE UNCLAIMED FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN SITTING THERE FOR YEARS.

AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING IN OUR BUDGET PROCESS AND OUR FINANCIAL, UM, YOU KNOW, DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS THAT WE'RE LOSING DOLLARS TO WHERE WE GET THAT, THAT MONEY CAN COME OVER AND GIVE ME A BENCH IN MY COMMUNITY.

UM, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE'RE LETTING MONEY SIT WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS AND GO UNCLAIMED FOR YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.

IF YOU GO IN THERE.

I THINK THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL HAS DONE SOMETHING TO TRY TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS MONEY.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE ISD HAS IT.

AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE EVEN WITH THE CLEAN AUDIT, IF THERE'S MONEY THAT'S LEFT OUT IN THE FIELD TO CEDAR HILL, WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND IF AT ALL POSSIBLE WHEN YOU RECLAIM THOSE FUNDS, DIVERT THEM OVER TO SHADY BROOK, WE WANT TO BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND WE WANT RECREATIONAL USE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR LISTENING TO IT.

THANK YOU, SONIA.

UH, NEXT ITEM THERE IS, UM, NEXT IS RENTAL CHECKS, THE PRESIDENT OF THE CITY HILL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

HOW ARE YOU DOING LADY MR. RANDALL? I'M DOING WELL.

THANK YOU EVEN COUNSEL.

UH, JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYONE AND LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT THE CEDAR HILLS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL BE HOSTING OUR ANNUAL CANDIDATE FORUM ON APRIL THE 22ND AT 6:00 PM AT THE ALLEN EAST SIMS RECREATION CENTER.

THAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS THAT ARE RUNNING FOR CITY COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT, COMMUNICATE, SHARE THEIR VISIONS, THEIR FUTURE IDEAS, AND AS WELL AS ALLOW THE CITIZENS OF CEDAR HILL TO BE ABLE TO POSE QUESTIONS, UM, ON OUR WEBSITE, WE WILL HAVE A QUESTIONNAIRE FORM THAT, UH, CITIZENS ARE ABLE TO SUBMIT QUESTIONS.

AND THEN WE WILL COMPILE THE QUESTIONS IF THERE'S MULTIPLE OF THE SAME AND WE'LL COMBINE THEM TOGETHER.

AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO ASK THE ACCOUNT, UH, THE CANDIDATES, THOSE QUESTIONS, UM, THIS YEAR DUE TO COVID, WE WILL HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 100, UH, IN-PERSON SEATS AT THE REC CENTER FOR THE EVENT.

ABSOLUTELY NONE, NOT EVEN ANYTHING FOR TOBACCO PRODUCTS, WE ONLY SELL VAPE PRODUCTS.

AND THE THING THAT I LOVE ABOUT IT THE MOST IS I SMOKED A PACK OF CIGARETTES A DAY FOR 18 YEARS, WITH MY CHILDREN WHO ARE ALL GROWN.

NONE OF IT SEEMED TO WORK.

A FRIEND OF MINE FINALLY TALKED ME INTO START VAPING AND IT COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE.

AND THE REASON THAT I LOVE WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY IS THE PEOPLE I GET TO HELP.

I HAVE HELPED YOUNG ADULTS, OLDER ADULTS, EVEN THE ELDERLY QUIT, MY COWORKERS, CUSTOMERS, ALL OF US, AND SEEING THE JOY IN THEM.

FINALLY, BEING ABLE TO QUIT SMOKING MAKES MY OKAY.

I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT HERE IN CEDAR HILL.

UM, SO YOU SAID THE REASON WHY YOU STARTED WORKING WITH THIS COMPANY.

I COULDN'T HEAR, I QUIT MY HR JOB IN THE SPORTS INDUSTRY TO WORK IN THIS COMPANY BECAUSE I LOVE THEIR VALUES ON, THEY LOVE GOING TO THESE LOCAL SMALL TOWNS THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE.

I STARTED IN OKLAHOMA.

I CAME DOWN HERE TO TEXAS AND IT'S GETTING TO MEET THESE LITTLE, THESE LITTLE TOWNS.

I'M FROM DENISON, TEXAS, WHICH YOU KNOW, ISN'T NORTH, BUT I LOVE BEING ABLE TO NOT ONLY MEET THE PEOPLE IN NEW TOWNS, GET TO MEET THE CUSTOMERS.

WE JUST OPENED A STORE OUT IN SULFUR SPRINGS.

I SPENT THE LAST THREE WEEKS THERE AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GETTING TO MEET EVERYBODY IN THE TOWN AND HOW THE TOWN WORKS.

AND I'VE ALREADY HELPED A FEW PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE MORE THAN A STATIC EVERY TIME THEY COME INTO THE STORE.

THEY'RE JUST SO HAPPY TO BE THERE.

I LOVE TO BRING THAT HERE.

AND THAT SANDY ONE APPROACH I'LL CLOSE THAT PORTION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNSEL.

THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR, UH, THE LIBERATION OR ACTION.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE, FOR THE APPLICANT.

COULD YOU COME BACK UP TO THE PODIUM PLEASE? AND YOU MAY HAVE TO PULL YOUR MASK DOWN SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE JUST HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING YOU WHEN, WHEN YOU WERE SPEAKING BEFORE, DID YOU SAY THAT YOU ALL DON'T SELL ANY TOBACCO BASED PRODUCTS OR NOT MANY OF MY LOCATIONS, I HAVE A VAPOR ONE HUNDREDS AND GLASS CITIES, AND NONE OF THEM SELL TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

DID, DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOUR, THAT YOUR PRODUCTS ALSO DO NOT CONTAIN ANY NICOTINE? OUR PRODUCTS DO CONTAIN NICOTINE? YES.

SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE NICOTINE BASED, BUT THEY'RE NOT, THEY JUST DON'T CONTAIN TOBACCO.

CORRECT.

THAT WAS MY ONLY QUESTION.

UM, NEXT, UH, CATHERINE, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? GO AHEAD.

I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE OF CUSTOMERS.

UM, ACCORDING TO THE LETTER OF INTENT BY THE CEO, MR. JOSEPH, YES, THERE ARE 80 LOCATIONS ACROSS TEXAS.

I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ONLINE RELATED TO GLASS CITY.

RIGHT NOW.

I'M IN THE PROCESS OF OUR STORES OPENED IN THE LAW IN TEXAS THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

UM, I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE LOCAL POST OFFICES, GETTING KEYS AND GOOGLE SENDS OUT A LETTER TO THE LOCATIONS, TO, WITH A VERIFICATION CODE THAT WE HAVE TO PUT IN OUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT FOR US TO APPEAR ON GOOGLE.

SO ARE THEY ALL GLASS CITY LOCATIONS? ARE THEY, SOME OF THEM ARE PAPER ONE HUNDREDS.

AND HOW LONG HAS THE CEO BEEN DOING THIS? HOW LONG HAS HE A LOT LONGER THAN I HAVE COME INTO THE COMPANY? UM, SEVEN, EIGHT YEARS.

THAT'S THE ROUGH ESTIMATE FROM, I KNOW A GENTLEMAN WHO STARTED WHEN THE COMPANY STARTED AND HE'S BEEN WORKING FOR ABOUT SIX, SEVEN YEARS.

[00:55:03]

I RESPECT YOUR OPINION.

UM, I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

UM, SO JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS OF THIS PENCIL, THIS CASE DID NOT PASS, UH, DURING THE P AND Z, BUT IT ALSO DIDN'T FAIL, UH, DURING THE P AND Z, THEY ENDED UP HAVING TO STALEMATE, NOT HAVING ENOUGH, UH, PLANNING AND ZONING MEMBERS.

UH, SO THEREFORE, UH, COUNCIL, WE HAVE TO HAVE A SUPER MAJORITY IN ORDER TO MOVE THIS FORWARD.

UM, SO JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT BEFORE AN ACTION WAS TAKEN COUNCIL, UH, CUSTOMER NAMES, I'M GOING TO SAY MINE THAT I HAVE, THERE WAS A COMMENT THAT WAS PRODUCED IN THE STAFF REPORT, UH, ABOUT, UH, UH, YOUR BUSINESS, UH, POPULATIONS THAT ARE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.

AND THERE WAS THERE'S SOME PUBLICATIONS THAT SEEM, THERE IS A REAL CONCERN ABOUT COMMUNITIES OF COLOR SEEMS TO BE THE LOCATIONS THAT, UM, THAT ARE RECIPIENTS OF BUSINESSES.

[01:00:01]

AN INCREDIBLE PROGRAM AND THE, THE PEOPLE THAT WORK IN IT, IT CREATED A VITAL ROLE IN NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP PREVENT THE GENTRIFICATION OF, UH, SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

UM, AND, UH, I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT ANY PROGRAM THAT, UH, UH, THAT WE WERE EVER ABLE TO, UH, VOTE ON OR, OR PROVE.

SO, UM, I'M IN SUPPORTIVE AND I KNOW THAT, UH, I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME OTHER PEOPLE THAT WANT TO SAY SOMETHING FIRST.

OH, CUSTOMER, HEY, YOU HAVE A COMPANY.

YEAH, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UM, I'M A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TRANSFORMATION, VISION AND MISSION.

CEDAR HILL IS ONE OF THEIR PRIMARY, UM, UH, WOKE WORK AREAS THAT FOCUSES.

AND SO AS, AS A MEMBER OF THAT BOARD, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ABSTAIN FROM THIS VOTE.

UM, JUST FOR THE CLARIFICATION, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO TRUST ME.

SO VISION ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, COUNSEL, IF NOT CASTLEMAINE MOVE WHERE WE APPROVE, UH, THE, UH, RENEW, THE ECONOMIC BELMONT PROGRAM AGREEMENT WITH MISSION CEDAR HILL.

WE DO HAVE A MOTION DO HAVE A SECOND SECOND FROM THE MAYOR PROTEIN ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

UM, NEXT ITEM IS B CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OF SKEW TO CONTRACT WITH TUNICK MANSCAPING ARCHITECTS, TELE FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE PREMIER LIBRARY AND SIGNATURE PARK PROJECT, UH, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE LIBRARY, THE PARK PROJECT IN CRAWFORD PARK, CONCEPT DESIGN.

I HAD THE OPTION ONCE I QUIT.

THE ONE MORE THING.

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO PASTOR SNOWDEN, UM, THIS AFTERNOON.

AND HE WAS REMINDING ME THAT THE LAST ESTIMATE I THINK THAT WE GAVE WAS THAT, UH, MISSION CEDAR HILL HAD ADDED SOMEWHERE AROUND A MILLION DOLLARS IN VALUE, UH, TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT'S JUST A DIRECT CONTRIBUTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY'VE MADE, THAT DOESN'T REFLECT ANYTHING UPON THE VALUE THAT THEY'VE CREATED FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, THAT, THAT THEY HAVE HELPED TO, TO REVITALIZE AND, AND MAINTAIN.

SO, UM, JUST AN INCREDIBLE WORK.

WELL, I STARTED COUNSELING, YOU KNOW, IN THIS, IN THIS APPROVAL, THE BUDGET ITEM WAS $25,000.

SO IF WE'RE APPROVING $25,000 AND WE'RE GETTING A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF, YOU KNOW, INCREASED VALUE, THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT THE CITIZENS SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH.

AS FAR AS THE RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT.

THAT'S A DIGITAL COUNCIL AND, UH, BY SNOWDEN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THAT EFFORT.

[b. Consider authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Ten Eyck Landscaping Architects (TELA) for design services for the Premier Library and Signature Park project (otherwise known as the Library in a Park Project) and Crawford Park Concept design.]

DO WE HAVE ANYONE PRESENTING BEFORE TODAY? NO.

ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, UH, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH TONIGHT HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH OUR, UM, BOND PROJECT.

AND AS WAS MENTIONED BEFORE, THEY DONE A LOT OF PRELIMINARY WORK AND A LOT OF DESIGN SERVICES WORK.

AND, UH, LET'S LIKE THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES THAT MAY NEED TO, UH, COMPLETE.

SO COUNSEL, IF THERE'S NO OTHER FURTHER QUESTIONS, THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR ACTION.

SO, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS, UH, LIBRARY COME TO FRUITION FOR HOW MANY YEARS NOW.

SO I'M EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A MOTION.

WE APPROVE THIS.

IS THAT YOUR MOTION? IT'S A MOTION.

WE DO HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

THERE WAS, I JUST SAID, UH, THEY KNOW THAT WAS A NOUN OR A MURDERER, SO LET'S GO NOW.

WE DO HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN HAYDEN.

[c. Case No. SP-296-2020 – Consider an application for a site plan with an alternative architectural design on property zoned “LR” (Local Retail District), generally located on the southwest corner of East Belt Line Road and Sims Drive, with the approximate address being 538 East Belt Line Road. The property owner/developer consents to an agreement to utilize certain building materials and design with the city’s permission to allow a drainage easement onto Highlands South Park. Applicant: John Gardner, Kirkman Engineering. Property Owner: Johnny Shepperson, Cedar Hill Paradigm JV, LLC.]

CONSIDER AN APPLICATION FOR A SITE PLAN WITH AN ALTERNATIVE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ON PROPERTY ZONE, L OUR LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT JANIE LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF EAST BELTLINE ROAD IN SIMS DRIVE WITH THE APPROXIMATE ADDRESS BEING FIVE 38 EAST BELTLINE

[01:05:01]

ROAD.

THE PROPERTY OWNER DEVELOPER CONSISTS TO AN AGREEMENT TO UTILIZE CERTAIN BUILDING MATERIALS AND DESIGNED WITH THE CITY'S PERMISSION TO ALLOW A DRAINAGE EASEMENT ONTO HIGHLAND, SOUTH PARK APPLICANT, JOHN GARDNER KIRKMAN ENGINEERING PROPERTY OWNER, JOHNNY, A SEPARATE SIN, CEDAR HILL, UH, PARADIGMS Z V LLC.

DO WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE TODAY EVENING JOHN GARDNER 5,200 STATE HIGHWAY ONE 21, UH, COLLEYVILLE, TEXAS, UH, DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION.

I JUST WANT TO KIND OF GO OVER A FEW UPDATES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE THE LAST TIME WE DISCUSSED THIS HERE.

UM, SO THERE'S THREE BIG ITEMS THAT WERE, UM, THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THAT ARE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY AND THOSE BEING A DIESEL LANE COMING OFF OF EAST BELTLINE, A DRAINAGE EASEMENT, AND THE SIDEWALK CONNECTION.

UM, UH, TIA TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS WAS CONDUCTED ON THE PROPERTY WITH A PROPOSED DRIVEWAYS, AND IT WAS FOUND THAT, UH, DIESEL LANE WAS NOT REQUIRED, BUT AFTER TALKING WITH STAFF AND WORKING WITH THEM, WE ALL AGREE THAT A DIESEL LANE WILL IMPROVE THE OVERALL FUNCTION OF THE SITE.

AS FOR THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT.

AGAIN, WORKING WITH STAFF, WE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A FLOODING PROBLEM IN THE AREA SOUTH OF OUR PROPERTY ON THE SCHOOL'S PROPERTY.

AND SO WE'RE PRESENTED WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP SOLVE THAT AND IMPROVE THAT, UH, DRAINAGE ISSUE BY PIPING ALL OF OUR DRAINAGE UNDERGROUND TO AN EXISTING STORM SYSTEM.

UM, AND TO DO THAT, THAT'S WHERE THE EASEMENT COMES IN PLAY.

UH, WE'LL WE'LL NEED AN EASEMENT FROM BOTH THE SCHOOL, THE CHS D AND FROM THE CITY.

UM, THIS HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO CHS D SCHOOL BOARD, AND THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED.

UH, THE LAST ITEM IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, MAYOR YOU DISCUSSED LAST TIME WE WERE HERE IS CONNECTING TO THAT WALKING PATH IN THE ADJACENT PART.

UH, SO WE DO HAVE, WE ARE, WE ARE NOW PROPOSING A SIDEWALK, STRETCHING ALL THE WAY FROM THE SIDEWALKS ALONG EAST BELT LINE, ALL THE WAY TO THAT WALKING PATH.

YOU SAID, YOU SAID YOUR ELBOW THING.

SORRY.

DID YOU SAY YOU'RE UPHOLDING, POSING, CRIPPLES PUTTING IT IN? YES, SIR.

SORRY.

UM, BUT IN THAT AGAIN, THAT'LL IMPROVE THE OVERALL CIRCULATION OF THE SITE AND, UH, PROMOTE A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY AND I'M HERE FOR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

SURE.

UH, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL, COUNCILMAN MCCURDY? UM, I DON'T KNOW IF MY MINE IS NECESSARILY A QUESTION IS, IS MUCH OF A COMMENT I'LL SPARE YOU THE RE CITATION OF ALL OF THE FRIED CHICKEN RESTAURANTS WITHIN YOUR VICINITY AGAIN, UM, YOU KNOW, I HAVE SOME, I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE OVERALL DESIGN OF THE PROPERTY, HAVING POTENTIALLY FOUR RESTAURANTS IN ON THAT SAME PLOT OF PROPERTY WITH DRIVE-THROUGHS ON THEM.

IT IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC TO TRY AND MOVE THROUGH THAT PROPERTY WITH THE NUMBER OF INGRESS AND EGRESS IS THAT, THAT YOU'VE GOT THERE.

UM, AND TO, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO, WITH, YOU KNOW, OF YOUR, WHAT YOU'RE DESIGNATING IS, IS GOING TO BE HIGHER TRAFFIC AT ONE END, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE FOR TRAFFIC FLOW.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE AT THE, AT THE ENDS OF, OF THAT SITE PLAN, RATHER THAN ON, JUST ON ONE END TO HAVE ONE ON EACH SIDE TO, TO REDUCE THAT, THAT TRAFFIC FLOW.

IT MAY BE JUST ONLY ONE THIRD BUILDING.

THAT'S MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LARGER.

AND, AND I'LL, I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF SOME THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE RETURNED TO CEDAR HILL IS DAIRY QUEEN AND BRAHMS, BOTH OF WHICH BRAHMS LEFT THEIR LOCATION BECAUSE THEY DID COULDN'T HAVE A DRIVE-THROUGH WHERE THEY WERE AT.

AND SO THAT IS A TYPE OF A RESTAURANT THAT CITIZENS WOULD LIKE TO SEE COME HERE.

NOW, WHEN I WILL TELL YOU THAT WHEN, YOU KNOW, WHEN THIS CASE WAS, WAS PUBLISHED, THAT, YOU KNOW, I, ONCE AGAIN GOT EMAILS COMPLAINING AND, AND WE HAD POSTS ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES IN, IN, IN THE CITY COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT ANOTHER CHICKEN RESTAURANT.

UM, NOW THERE WAS ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT CAPTAIN D'S.

IT WAS JUST, WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER CHICKEN RESTAURANT.

NOW I KNOW WHEN, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SALES TAX REPORT, YOU GONNA SAY, MAN, THESE FOLKS LOVE CHICKEN, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING THROUGH ALL THE CHICKEN RESTAURANTS.

WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT.

THE PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

AND WE WOULD GO, I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE BIT HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE, UM, TO ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, FRIED CHICKEN RESTAURANT.

I DON'T KNOW IF

[01:10:01]

YOU GUYS CAN GET EL POLLO LOCO, IF YOU WANT TO GO FOR CHICKEN, YOU KNOW, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, I, I HEAR NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS ABOUT THAT.

AND IT'S, IT'S A DIFFERENT FLAVOR OF EVEN THOUGH IT'S CHICKEN, IT'S A DIFFERENT FLAVOR OF, OF CHICKEN.

UM, BUT, UH, IT, YOU KNOW, MY MAIN CONCERNS ABOUT THAT, THE TRAFFIC FLOW.

AND I GUESS MY, MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO BALANCE OUT THIS TRAFFIC, UM, ON THE PROPERTY THEN TO, YOU KNOW, CAUSE I'M, I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT, CAUSE YOU'VE GOT ONE ENTRANCE COMING OFF OF SOUNDS ONE, COME OFF OF BELTLINE AND YOU'VE GOT A HEAVY CONCENTRATION WITH TWO HIGH TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, FAST FOOD LOCATIONS AT ONE END OF THE PROPERTY.

I REALLY THINK THEY OUGHT TO BE SEPARATED.

AND I'D LIKE TO SEE ONE BUILDING IN THE CENTER INSTEAD OF TWO WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH A, WITH A LOWER VOLUME DRIVE THROUGH TYPE OPERATION.

SO I'LL BE QUIET WITH THAT.

UH, UH, I WANT YOU TO ADDRESS EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE SAYING THERE, UH, STARTING WITH THE TRAFFIC, UM, AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE WAY THE PROPERTY IS LAID OUT, IT'S SUBDIVIDED INTO THE THREE DIFFERENT LOTS THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD TAKE A LOT TO, UH, TO MOVE ONE OF THOSE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS TO THE OTHER SIDE, THE PROPERTY.

BUT, UM, AS FAR AS TRAFFIC IN INTERNAL CIRCULATION OF THE PROPERTY, WE HAVE DONE A STUDY AT THE SAME TIME WE DID, WHEN WE WERE DOING A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS ON EAST BELTLINE.

WE ALSO DID AN INTERNAL CIRCULATION, UM, STUDY.

AND SO WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SITE PLAN AND FOR LAYING OUT THE SITE, UM, THERE'S A REQUIRED REQUIREMENT OF SIX STACKING SPACES AND ALL FOUR OF THESE WERE EXCEEDING THAT TO ALLOW FOR MORE, MORE STACKING THAN NORMAL TO PREVENT ANY KIND OF OVERLAP AND CONGESTION THERE.

UM, ALSO TO HELP WITH THE, THE THOUGHT OF FOUR DRIVEWAY, DRIVE-THROUGHS THE TWO ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

BOTH OF THOSE ARE GOING TO BE PROPOSED, UH, MORE OF A PICKUP WINDOWS INSTEAD OF YOUR TRADITIONAL DRIVE-THROUGH.

SO THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE AS MUCH OF A QUEUING.

IT'S GOING TO BE YOUR ONLINE, ORDERING, COMING TO THE STORE, PICKING IT UP.

AND IT'S NOT EVEN TIED DOWN TO SPECIFICALLY TO, UM, RESTAURANTS AT THIS POINT.

THERE'S ALSO TALK OF, UH, BRINGING IN LIKE A DRY CLEANER TO, TO UTILIZE THAT DRIVE THROUGH, OR MAYBE EVEN A MEDICAL USE, SOME SORT OF PHARMACY TYPE LIKE THAT.

AND SO THOSE WILL BE RESTRICTED FLOW THAT WON'T BE FULL QUEUE.

LIKE I SAID, THEY WON'T BE A STANDARD DRIVE THROUGH.

SO TRAFFIC THROUGH THERE WILL BE REDUCED.

UM, GOING BACK TO THE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT WAS PERFORMED, UH, AND ALL AS AN ENGINEER, ALL WE CAN DO IS BASE IT ON STANDARDS.

AND SO GOING OFF OF TEXTILE STANDARDS, AGAIN, WE'RE NOT MEETING THOSE REQUIREMENTS TO REQUIRE DIESEL LANES.

AND THAT MEANS THAT WE'RE NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH TRAFFIC TO BECOME A PROBLEM FOR EAST BELTLINE COMING OFF OF THERE.

AND THAT STUDY WHEN IT WAS CONDUCTED, IT WAS ONLY USING THE ENTRANCES ALONG YOU SPELT LINE.

SO IT WASN'T EVEN CONSIDERING THE RELIEF OF, UH, TRAFFIC COMING IN AND OUT OF SIMS DRIVE.

SO I HOPE THAT ADDRESSES SOME OF YOUR CONCERNS NOW.

YOU'RE GOOD FOR NOW.

UH, NEXT I HAVE A CUSTOMER GLOVER.

MA'AM ARE YOU, IS THE, THE OWNER HERE ALSO? IS IT JUST YOU TONIGHT? UH, THERE'S A REPRESENTATIVE, THE OWNER WHO'S HERE.

CAN THEY INTRODUCE THEMSELVES? IS THE OWNER HERE? SO JOHNNY SHEPHERDS.

STUDIES AND THE BACK OF THE DRIVES IN THE BACK.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU MADE IT HERE THIS EVENING.

SO THEY'RE THE OWNERS OF THE OVERALL PROPERTY.

JUST THANK YOU.

UM, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, BUT YOU MENTIONED THE INTERNAL TRAFFIC STUDY.

CAN WE SAFELY ASSUME THAT EVERY DRIVE-THROUGH IN THE STATE OF TEXAS HAS SOME TYPE OF INTERNAL TRAFFIC STUDY? IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT, SO THAT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE A SAFE ASSUMPTION.

UM, BUT IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT BY THE CITY.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, UH, IT WAS A CONCERN OF STAFF.

AND SO WE TOOK IT UPON OURSELVES TO PRESENT A STUDY AND A TRAFFICKING, UM, CIRCULATION PLAN TO, TO SHOW ALL POSSIBLE ROUTES AND ANY KIND OF ISSUES.

SO WITH THAT INTERNAL TRAFFIC STUDY GUARANTEE US THAT THEY'LL NEVER BE ANY TIE UPS IN YOUR, IN THOSE DRIVE-THROUGHS, THEY'LL NEVER BE STACKED IN ONTO BELTLINE ROAD.

THERE WON'T BE, UM, CONSUMERS WHO JUMPED THE LINE AND CAN THAT STUDY GUARANTEE ANY OF THOSE THINGS, WE CAN NEVER GUARANTEE YOU WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

OKAY, BECAUSE THIS ONE, WHEN I SEE AND LOOKING AT OTHER DRIVE-THROUGH ESTABLISHMENTS, IT SEEMS TO BE A, A GREAT DEAL ON A SMALL PIECE OF PROPERTY.

THEY'LL DRIVE THE, THE CIRCULATION

[01:15:01]

IT LOOKS AS IF IT COULD STACK UP AT SOME POINT AND YOU STILL HAVE TWO AND TWO EGRESSES ON BELTLINE.

AND IF SOMEONE DECIDES TO COME IN THE OUT AND OUT THE END, THAT JUST RUINED THE FLOW.

BUT, UM, WHEN I LOOK AT THIS ADDING UP THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, THERE IS 18,380 SQUARE FEET THAT IS DESIGNATED FOR SPACE RETAIL SPACE, BUT WE ONLY HAVE 2040 4,000, 4,400 SQUARE FOOT FEET, WHICH IS BASICALLY 23% OF SQUARE FEET THAT YOU'RE ASKING US TO APPROVE TONIGHT, LEAVING GREATER THAN 75% AS UNKNOWN.

I'M NOT COMFORTABLE MAKING A DECISION.

SO WITH A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF UNKNOWN, IF WE APPROVE THIS, WE HAVE NO IDEA.

IF THOSE OTHER TWO ESTABLISHMENTS WILL BE RESTAURANTS, YOU'VE MENTIONED DRY CLEANERS.

YOU'VE MENTIONED A, A PHARMACY YOU'VE MENTIONED OTHER THINGS THAT I I'M, I'M NOT PREPARED TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO THE IMPACT OF OUR CA IN OUR COMMUNITY, NOT KNOWING WHAT THESE VARIABLES ARE.

SO, UH, AND JOHNNY, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THIS MORE.

BE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY AS WELL.

CAN YOU COME UP AND SPEAK TO THAT? NO, PLEASE.

JOHNNY SHEPHERDSON, UH, TO G2 MUNICIPAL DRIVE RICHARDSON, TEXAS, UM, I'LL DO THIS SO YOU CAN HEAR ME IF THAT'S OKAY.

SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO HELP PACIFY SOME OF THE CONCERNS, AND WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT AS DEVELOPERS AND OWNERS, UM, AND OWNERS OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE METROPLEX, YOU KNOW, WE STRUGGLE WITH OUR TENANTS, UM, BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE COVID CRISIS, JUST LIKE WE ALL PROBABLY HAVE SUFFERED FROM THIS, RIGHT? SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE, COVID RESPONSIBLE IN A SENSE OF PLANNING FOR WHAT WE COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

IF WE WERE TO FIND OURSELVES IN ANOTHER PART OF THIS PANDEMIC, WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN, UM, AND, AND ALLOWING THESE FOLKS TO STILL TRY TO MAKE A LIVING, WHETHER IT'S PICKUP WINDOWS OR QUICK ACCESS FROM THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, THROUGH, YOU KNOW, QUICK PICKUP, UM, PARKING AND NO INSIDE DINING, THAT WAS OUR INTENT.

AND THEN THE CENTER PART OF THIS MAIN BUILDING, WE HAVE OUTDOOR AREA AND WE COMMITTED QUITE A, QUITE A BIT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE TO THIS AREA TO OFFER RETAILERS FOR OUTSIDE RETAIL OR SIT DOWN AND FAMILY RESTAURANTS.

AND IT WAS A GOOD COUPLING BETWEEN THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS.

AND AS YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU THINKING ABOUT HEALTHIER OPTIONS AND THAT'S WHAT OUR GOAL WAS TO.

SO WE HAVE RESTRICTIONS WITHIN OUR DEVELOPMENT, UH, WITH THE TWO QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANTS THAT WE CAN'T PUT ANOTHER QUICK SERVICE CHICKEN OR SEAFOOD TYPE PLACE.

AND I KNOW SOME OF THE, UH, THE SPECIFIC CHICKEN PLACE ALSO HAS BAKED CHICKEN.

SO THERE'S, I THINK THEY'RE HEARING SOME OF THAT, UH, CALLING AS YOU GUYS ARE MENTIONING AS WELL, BUT THE WHOLE POINT OF THOSE WAS TO GIVE US FLEXIBILITY ON THOSE DRIVE-THROUGHS, WHETHER IT'S, UH, A PHARMACY OR A DRY CLEANERS, OR MAYBE IT IS SOME SORT OF SUBWAY OR JASON'S DELI, WHICH WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR LATELY FOR A DRIVE-THROUGH.

UM, AND I THINK IN OUR COVID ENVIRONMENT, WE'RE HAVING MORE AND MORE REQUESTS AND WE'RE GETTING USED TO, I KNOW MY IN-LAWS, UH, YOU JUST LOST A FAMILY MEMBER TO COVID.

THEY DON'T GO OUT TO EAT.

THEY GO THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH, AND THEN THEY GO SIT SOMEWHERE, UH, JUST MY IN-LAWS TO EAT DINNER, BUT IT'S A QUICK AND EASY WAY FOR A REGULAR RESTAURANT TO, TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE.

SO THAT WAS OUR INTENT AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF US USING THAT DRIVE THROUGH, IF SOMEONE COMES IN, WE'VE HAD URGENT CARES THAT HAVE COME IN AND NOT EVEN UTILIZE.

UM, AND ONE OF OUR OTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN MCKINNEY, THEY DON'T EVEN UTILIZE THE DRIVE THROUGH AND WE JUST CLOSE IT OFF.

SO, UM, IT'S REALLY JUST TO GIVE US THAT FLEXIBILITY.

I HOPE THAT HELPS A LITTLE BIT.

IT, IT, IT DOES.

YOU MENTIONED JASON'S DELI.

WE HAVE ONE HERE, HAVE YOU SURVEYED THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHAT ESTABLISHMENTS WE DO HAVE, WHETHER IT'S STRIKE THERE'S A DRY CLEANERS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THERE, HAVE YOU SURVEY THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHAT NEEDS MIGHT BE MET BY PLACING A, AN ESTABLISHMENT IN HERE? THAT'S NOT A DUPLICATION.

ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN, ME PERSONALLY, WE'VE WORKED WITH OUR BROKER TEAM THAT WE'VE EMPLOYED ON THIS SITUATION.

UM, AND WE DEFINITELY RELY ON THEM AND THEIR, THEIR EAR TO THE VOICE AND THE PULSE OF THE COMMUNITY ON WHAT THE NEEDS ARE.

UM, AND SO WE HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, STRATEGICALLY PARTNERING WITH FOLKS LIKE THAT WHO ARE EXPERTS IN THAT FIELD.

I'M GREAT AT CONSTRUCTION, I'M GREAT AT REAL ESTATE.

UM, I'M PROBABLY NOT THE BEST SALES GUIDE NECESSARILY, BUT, UM, WHEN THESE FOLKS COME TO HIM AND WE HAVE, UH, FOLKS WHO ARE GREAT AT RESTAURANT RETAIL, AND WE HAVE OTHER GUYS THAT ARE REALLY GREAT AT MEDICAL, AND THAT'S WHERE MY BACKGROUND WAS.

UM, AND SO W WE'RE REALLY GOOD PLAY TO THAT PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

BUT AS WE PUT A SPECULATIVE PORTION OF THIS PROPERTY UP, WE'RE GOING TO GET A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY IS WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN OUR PAST EXPERIENCES AND WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO FIND HERE AS WELL.

AND SO IF WE'RE HEARING THAT FROM THE COMMUNITY, THEY'RE WANTING TO

[01:20:01]

AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT BETTER SERVES THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE LITMUS WE'VE EXPERIENCED THROUGH OUR OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, UM, IS, IS ONCE WE PUT A PARTIALLY SPECULATIVE PROPERTY UP THAT WE START GETTING GREAT FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AND SOME NATIONWIDE, UH, TENANTS AS WELL.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE ALL KIND OF HOPE FOR SOME NATIONWIDE ANCHOR TENANTS.

UM, BUT TO TELL YOU ANYTHING COMMITTAL, AS FAR AS WHO WE'VE SPOKEN TO, IT'S BEEN PRETTY LIMITED SO FAR JUST IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY PICKING UP.

AND IN LAST QUESTION, HAVE YOU, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ENTER A COMMUNITY YOU PLACE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT THERE AND THE COMMUNITY DOES NOT PURCHASE THE MINIMUM AND DOES THAT, WHAT HAPPENS THEN IF IT'S A SOLID PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY SAYS WE DON'T WANT SALAD, OR IF IT'S A BURGER PLACE AND THE COMMUNITY'S A VEGAN COMMUNITY.

SURE.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT STRUCTURE? SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE, WE ALL EXPERIENCE IN RETAIL ENVIRONMENTS WHERE YOU HAVE FOLKS WHO HAVE REALLY GOOD INTENTIONS ON CREATING A GREAT BUSINESS AND A GREAT ATTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY.

WE DO, UM, FINANCIAL, WE HAVE SOME FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS FROM OUR TENANTS THAT WE HAVE TO SEE IN ORDER TO LEASE THEM A PROPERTY, BECAUSE WE'RE ON THE HOOK FOR QUITE A BIT OF MONEY AS WELL WITH THEIR TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE FINANCIALLY STRONG, THAT THEY HAVE A BUSINESS BACKGROUND.

SOMETIMES IT'S THE DENOVO PROJECT AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S NEW AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE JUST GETTING STARTED OUT, BUT THEY HAVE A PRETTY GOOD FINANCIAL BACKING.

UM, WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF A PROJECT, UH, UH, A TENANT GOES OUT OF BUSINESS, HOW DO WE REPLACE THAT QUICKLY? SO, I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, A PRODUCT OF A LOT OF THESE RETAIL ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THEY DO GO OUT.

UM, BUT IT'S IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO MAKE SURE WE PUT SOMEONE WHO WE FEEL AS STRONG AND BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

WE HAVE A VERY DIVERSE GONNA SAY ETHNICALLY DIVERSE GROUP OF INVESTORS AND OWNERSHIP THAT WE WORK WITH.

SO WE'RE VERY MINDFUL OF THE DIFFERENT TASTES IN THE WORLD.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CATER TO CATER TO THE MAJORITY OF IF WE CAN, FOR SURE.

AND MY LAST QUESTION, I HAVE THE FRANCHISES SIGNED OFF ON THE SITE LOCATION.

HAVE THEY APPROVED THE SITE LOCATIONS? YES, SIR.

THANK YOU, SIR.

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME, JOHNNY.

YOU SAID YOUR NAME IS YES, SIR.

YOU HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS THEY MAY WANT TO HEAR FROM CUSTOMER.

UH, THANK YOU.

UM, I GOT A COMMENT AND THEN I'LL MAKE A, I'LL HAVE ONE LAST QUESTION AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC CLUB, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, FROM THE COMMENT STANDPOINT, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN AND WORKING WITH STAFF, UH, AND MAKING THE ADJUSTMENTS, YOU KNOW, WE'VE, YOU'VE BEEN TO US NOW, MULTIPLE TIMES, YOU'VE TALKED TO STAFF, UH, YOU ADDRESS THE TRAFFIC ISSUES.

YOU DID A TRAFFIC STUDY, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO.

SO THESE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT IN MY MIND, YOU'VE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK GOING THIS, AND, AND YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THE, UH, THE EXPENSE OF CREATING THE ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE ROAD WISE, NOT US.

AND THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW TOO, UH, THE NEGOTIATION BETWEEN, AS FAR AS THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND SO FORTH, UM, THAT IT RELATES TO THE TYPE OF QUALITY OF PRODUCT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IN.

UH, YOU KNOW, UM, I APPRECIATE A LOT FROM THAT STANDPOINT.

SO, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE ECONOMY IS GOING TO TELL YOU IF, IF THERE'S TOO MANY CHICKEN PLACES OR NOT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER CHICKEN PLACE, BUT, YOU KNOW, IF IT DOESN'T GO, YOU'RE SET, YOU'VE GOT THE THING YOU YOU'RE, YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP THAT THING FULL, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE, THE FORMAT NOW WITH DELIVERY WINDOWS AND DROP OFF, YOU'RE SET TO BE ABLE TO ADJUST TO THAT ANYWAY.

UM, YOU MENTIONED BRAHMS. YEAH.

I MISS A LOT OF PEOPLE.

MISS MR. BOMBS, HE DIDN'T HAVE THE BRAHMS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE DRIVE-THROUGH CAPABILITY AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE BIG ENOUGH FOR SPACE FOR THEIR NEW MODEL TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE, UM, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF GROCERIES THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO NOW.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THESE TWO SIZES FITS THAT, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT WOULD BE ONE IN YOUR, YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS.

UH, BUT I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE PUTTING SOMETHING IN THAT CAN BE REVERSED AND IN, DEPENDING ON WHAT IT WOULD BE MEDICAL, YOU KNOW, AND SO FORTH.

SO I, I APPRECIATE THAT.

I THINK WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE AND, AND, UH, TRIED TO WORK WITH STAFF TO BE ABLE TO PUT A PRODUCT IN HERE IN MY MIND HAS DONE VERY GOOD ON THE TRAFFIC FOR THE, ON THE, ON THE TWO OTHER, UH, PROPOSED SITES HERE.

UM, AM I SEEING THAT THERE'S JUST ONLY ONE ENTRANCE FOR BOTH SIDES.

SO YOU HAVE TWO INCHES IS OFF OF, UM, WELL YOU HAVE ONE OFF OF SIMS AND THEN TWO OFF OF BELTLINE.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING? YEAH.

THE TOP OF EACH SITE, CORRECT.

YOU GO FROM ONE BUILDING AND THEN YOU'RE STILL GOING BEHIND TO THE OTHER.

WELL, WHAT I'M LOOKING AT ON THIS, ON THAT, ON, ON THE SIDE THAT WE'RE NOT DISCUSSING TONIGHT, BUT TO THE PROPOSED SIDE OVER THERE WITH, YOU KNOW, WHAT MAY BE THERE, BUT THE TRAFFIC FLOW THAT I SEE IN THERE, IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT JUST COMES IN OFF OF BELTLINE AND THEN

[01:25:01]

IS THAT, IS THAT JUST ONE ENTRANCE TO BOTH, TO BOTH LANES.

SO MAYBE I'M MISUNDERSTANDING.

SO WE COME OFF OF, ARE YOU TALKING, ARE YOU SPEAKING TO THE DRIVE-THROUGHS ON THOSE TWO BUILDINGS? THERE'S ONE ENTRANCE TO BOTH.

SO HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE, I GUESS, ASSESSABLE TRAFFIC WISE, IF YOU'VE GOT TWO OF THEM GOING AND YET ONE MUST HAVE ORDERED FROM THIS ONE, BUT CAN'T GET TO THE OTHER SIDE, HOW YOU ADDRESS THAT.

UH, THE BIGGEST THING IS GOING TO BE SIGNAGE.

UM, TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNS, SUCH AS YIELD SIGNS COMING IN AND OUT OF THE, OR COMING OUT OF THE DRIVE-THROUGHS THERE.

UM, IF SOMEBODY DOES MAKE A MISTAKE AND GO INTO THE WRONG ONE, AND THEN THEY REALIZE THAT THERE ARE ESCAPE LANES FOR BOTH OF THOSE.

UM, IF YOU, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SIDE PLAN, THE HATCHED AREAS WITH A SCIENTIST LINES, THAT'S JUST PAINTED CONCRETE AND, UM, THAT'S SO IF YOU'RE IN THE WRONG LANE, YOU CAN'T BE THERE ANYMORE.

YOU'RE STUCK IN THAT.

THERE ARE ESCAPE LANES FOR EACH ONE.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

ANYWAY, THAT, THAT WAS MY COMMENT.

I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE AND COOPERATE WITH STAFF.

AND I THINK BEING IN A BUSINESS IS GOING TO DICTATE WHAT STAYS IN THERE AND YOU KNOW THAT, AND YOU'RE DOING YOUR HOMEWORK.

SO WE APPRECIATE YOU.

UH, WE HAVE, UH, ONE MORE COMMENT FROM CUSTOMER THEN HAVE A FEW WORDS TO, UH, CAUSE WE WERE SAYING THANK YOU MIRROR.

UM, SO WHEN I WAS READING HER INFORMATION, UH, THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT, UH, RAISED AN ALARM FOR ME.

WHEN I WROTE SOMETHING ABOUT THE STORMWATER RUNOFF WAS GOING TO FLOW ONTO HARLAND SOUTH THE PARK.

AND I HEARD YOU TONIGHT SAY THAT IT'S GOING TO BE PIPED UNDERGROUND.

SO THAT'S, THAT WAS A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN A, I'M GLAD YOU SHARED THAT PIPING ALL WATER WILL BE UNDERGROUND.

IS THAT, DID I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY? THIS IS YOUR YES, SIR.

SO ORIGINALLY, UM, BEFORE WE COMMUNICATED WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT.

AND JUST FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, ALL WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO IS RELEASE AT THE EXISTING FLOWS.

SO THE WATER THAT'S FLOWING ONTO THE PROPERTY TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO DETAIN AND RELEASE AT THAT SAME FLOW.

SO IT'S MORE, MORE WATER IS BEING PRODUCED FROM THE AMOUNT OF CONCRETE THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THAT WATER AND RELEASE THAT AT A LOWER FLOW RATE.

SO ORIGINALLY WE WERE PROPOSING TO SHEET FLOW THAT, BUT NOW THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED THROUGH THREE STAFF AND WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD, WE NOW HAVE THAT DRAINAGE EASEMENT.

SO WE CAN PUT IN A PIPE UNDERGROUND AND THAT'S GOING TO HELP SOLVE SOME ISSUES THAT ARE THERE TODAY.

AND THEN MY OTHER CONCERN, AND I APPRECIATE YOU WORKING WITH STAFF, UH, ON THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS.

AND I THINK WHAT HAS BEEN CONDUCTED SO FAR IS APPROPRIATE TO ADDRESS, UH, THE KNOWN BUSINESSES.

BUT I HAVE A CONCERN SO MUCH TO OUR COUNCIL MEMBER GLOVER.

UM, IT, THE PICTURE FOR ME IS IT'S INCOMPLETE BECAUSE WHAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME IN WITH THE OTHER BUSINESSES.

AND SO, UM, THERE'S JUST THIS UNKNOWN AS TO HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK TOGETHER WITH SOMETHING THAT IT'S OUTSTANDING.

I DON'T, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE BECAUSE THERE'S, THERE'S THIS PICTURE THAT THE PIE IS.

I MEAN, THE PICTURES JUST INCOMPLETE BECAUSE THERE'S THESE W WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHER BUSINESSES ARE GONNA BE.

AND IF I HAD A CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT THAT WOULD BE, THEN IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD MAKE ME MORE COMFORTABLE.

AND SO I'M UNCOMFORTABLE UNTIL I KNOW THE REST OF THE PICTURE.

SO LET ME, LET ME SPEAK IF YOUR, YOUR CONCERNS OF TRAFFIC.

UM, SO WHEN THE TRAFFIC STUDY WAS CONDUCTED AND WE OUTSOURCE THIS TO A TRAFFIC ENGINEER, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO FOR A LIVING.

THEY TAKE THE MOST RESTRICTIVE USES THAT BE ALLOWED THAT ARE ALLOWED THERE BY, RIGHT.

SO IF, IF A RESTAURANT IS THE MOST RESTRICTIVE USE, THAT'S WHAT THEY USE FOR TRAFFIC COUNTS.

UM, SINCE IT IS UNKNOWN, THEY HAVE TO GO WITH THAT HIGHER THRESHOLD AND, UM, FOR IT TO RUN ALL THEIR NUMBERS.

AND EVEN WITH THAT, LIKE I WAS SAYING BEFORE USING THE MOST RESTRICTIVE USES.

AND SO THE HIGHEST TRAFFIC PRODUCTION COUNTS THERE WERE, WE STILL FALL UNDER THAT THRESHOLD, WHICH IS, UH, TXDOT STANDARDS FOR DRIVEWAYS AND FOR DSL LANES.

SO WE ARE CONSIDERING THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY PROPOSING.

ON THE, I GUESS THAT'LL BE THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

UM, THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

UM, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.

UM, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT YOU ALREADY HEARD, BUT JUST FOR ME TO CLARIFY THEM, AS IT RELATES TO TRAFFIC STUDY, I SEE WE HAVE A DIESEL LANE, BUT YOU KNOW, IN MY MIND, IF YOU HAVE THE DIESEL LANE COMING IN

[01:30:01]

UM, I JUST CAN'T, TO ME, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A ONE-WAY.

UM, SO I JUST CAN'T SEE SOMEONE GOING BACK OUT, UH, IT'S GOING EAST ON BELTLINE ROAD.

IS THAT, IS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT JUST THE DIESEL, UH, UH, SECTION, IS THAT GOING TO BE AN INFLOW AND OUTFLOW? SO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT EASTBOUND OR WESTBOUND TRAFFIC? UH, I WAS TALKING ABOUT EASTBOUND BELTLINE, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE DECEL LANE GOING ONTO THE PROPERTY, RIGHT.

SO THAT'S ASKING, IS THAT ALSO AN EAGERNESS TO THE GRACE? SO THAT, THAT DRIVEWAY, THAT EAST DRIVEWAY IS A RIDE IN RIGHT OUT ONLY.

SO SINCE THERE'S NOT A MEDIAN BREAK, THERE'S NO TRAFFIC COMING FROM THE WESTBOUND.

GOT IT.

AND THAT'S WHAT I WASN'T SURE.

SO THERE'S NOT, THERE'S NOT A MEDIUM BREAK ON THE OTHER SIDE.

NO, SIR.

THERE'S JUST THE ONE MEETING BREAK AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL IT'S SHOWN IN THE PLANS, BUT WE ARE ALSO CONSTRUCTING A LEFT TURN LANE FOR THE WESTBOUND TRAFFIC THERE AND, YEAH.

UM, AND, UH, I GUESS, UH, I'LL JUST TELL YOU TO ME, THE TRAFFIC IS, IS, SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, AND, YOU KNOW, BEEN HERE, SIT HERE FOR A LONG TIME, UH, FROM JOE WILSON, GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO CLARK ROLL.

THAT IS LIKE THE BUSIEST AREA, UH, AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, CONGESTED AND THE CITY, UH, WE DON'T HAVE NO CONTROL OF THAT ROADWAY BECAUSE IT'S TEXTILE.

UM, SO WHEN I, WHEN I LOOK AT SIMS DRIVE, I LOOK AT THE SCHOOL'S ZONE TIME PATTERN.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE A TRAFFIC STUDY ALSO STUDIED, YOU KNOW, THE, THE PEAK IN THE MORNING AND THE AFTERNOON OF SIBS DRIVE.

I, I KIND OF SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT THAT HAS TAKEN A CONSIDERATION IS THAT YES, SIR.

THAT IS TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION.

SO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY, BEFORE THEY START WORKING ANY PROPOSED NUMBERS, THEY SEND A CREW OUT AND THEY COUNT, THEY SAID IN MORNING, PEAK HOURS, NOON, PEAK HOURS, AND EVENING PEAK HOURS.

AND THEY COUNT ACTUAL CARS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TO GET, UH, AN ANALYSIS OF WHAT IS OUT THERE TODAY.

AND SO THAT, THAT IS THE BASIS OF THE STUDY.

AND THEN WE GO FROM THERE.

UM, SORRY, ONE MORE THING, YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY, I'VE BEEN A LITTLE STICKLER.

UM, YOU KNOW, I'VE, MIGHT'VE SEEN YOU, YOU KNOW, ONCE, BUT IF THE TRAFFIC STUDY WAS DONE DURING THE PANDEMIC, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REALLY GOT A REAL, TRUE SENSE OF THE TRAFFIC FLOW.

SO, SO I GUESS THAT'S WHERE I'M KIND OF A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC STUDY, BECAUSE IT WAS CONDUCTED WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS AFTER THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE PRESENTING IT IS A RECENT, SO I KNOW THAT'S STILL MAYBE LIGHTER TRAFFIC, BUT IT'S NOT AS LIGHT AS IT HAS BEEN.

AND, AND, AND, AND I GUESS THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'M COMING FROM.

CAUSE I KNOW, YOU KNOW, DOING DURING OUR REGULAR SEASON OF, OF SCHOOL ACTIVITY, UM, YOU KNOW, IT MAY BE 50, 60%, YOU KNOW, MORE ACTIVITY.

SO THEN THAT WAS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WITH THE STUDY AS WELL.

SO THE, THE PROPOSED USES THEY DON'T SERVE BREAKFAST, SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE CONFLICTS WITH WHAT STARTS OF SCHOOL AND THEN LAUNCH SCHOOL'S IN SESSION.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TRAFFIC ISSUES THERE.

AND THEN, UM, SCHOOL BREAKS THREE TO 4:00 PM AND THEN OUR HIGHEST TRAFFIC, UH, IS FOUR IN THE EVENINGS AFTER SCHOOL'S ALREADY TRAFFIC HAS ALREADY DISPERSED.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

UM, LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN, UH, ON THE PROPOSAL SIDE AND, UM, I GUESS YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE IN, IN, IN NEGOTIATIONS OR CONTRACT, UH, BUT IS THIS ONE PHASE PROJECT OR ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD ONE SIDE AND THEN DO THE OTHER FUTURE, HUH? SURE.

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

SO, UM, US AS THE DEVELOPER, YOU TO DEVELOP THE ROADWAYS AND ALL THE FIRE LANES FOR THE TWO QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANTS.

SO THEY'LL COME IN WITH THEIR OWN CONSTRUCTION TEAM AND ACTUALLY CONSTRUCT THE TWO QUICK SERVICE.

AND THEN MY, MY DEVELOPMENT TEAM WILL ACTUALLY CON UH, CONSTRUCT THE RETAIL, UH, BALANCE OF THAT SITE.

THE, THE LARGER BUILDING ON THE WEST SIDE, UH, SIMULTANEOUSLY IS OUR INTENT.

WE HAVE OBLIGATIONS TO DELIVER THE ROADWAY SO THEY CAN START CONSTRUCTION IMMEDIATELY WITHIN A TIMEFRAME.

UM, SO THAT IS OUR INTENT TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD IMMEDIATELY UPON APPROVAL OR PENDING APPROVAL, OF COURSE.

RIGHT, SURE.

HAVE OVER 14 DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS WE'VE DONE IN THE METROPLEX AND SOME OF THE BEST PERFORMING AREAS OR SOME OF THE LOCALLY OWNED OR LOCALLY OPERATED RESTAURANTS AND RETAILERS.

UM, YOU KNOW, DON'T, I DON'T REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS SOUND POLITICAL.

UM, HOWEVER, THERE'S A, THERE'S A STRONG OUTCRY, UM, FOR US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF FOOD SERVICE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, THE COMMUNITY THINKS THE COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY CONTROL, YOU KNOW, WHAT COMES IN AND OUT OF THE CITY.

UM, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE CAN, YOU KNOW, HAVE INFLUENCE, BUT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL FOR THAT.

UM, IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO CONSIDER MORE OF A HEALTHIER OPTION? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A FUTURE DISCUSSION? I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT.

AND THAT WAS OUR INTENT IN DEVELOPING THE AREA WITH OPEN COMMUNITY.

YOU KNOW, OUR PREFERENCE IS TO HAVE, WE

[01:35:01]

AND I CAN'T GUARANTEE ANY OF THIS, OF COURSE, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE A HEAVY HAND IN HELPING THE, THE ARCHITECTURAL SIDE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND I WAS MARTINE WAS VERY INTENT ON HAVING THAT OPEN SPACE.

THERE'S PATIOS ON THE FRONT OF THIS BUILDING.

IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL FROM THESE ELEVATIONS, BUT REALLY INVITING SOME OF THOSE MORE SIT-DOWN RESTAURANTS, WHETHER IT'S A TACO CABANA, OR I THINK YOU SAID POLIO TROPICALE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

UM, WHATEVER THOSE, UH, RETAILERS OR RESTAURANT USERS ARE, IT'S GOING TO LEND ITSELF MORE TO THAT BECAUSE WE DO HAVE RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT WE CAN PUT THERE WITH THE OTHER TWO QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANTS.

WE CAN'T PUT CHICKEN, WE CAN'T PUT FISH OR FAST SERVICE FOOD LIKE THAT.

IT WOULD LEND ITSELF BETTER IN OUR MINDS TO BEING MORE OF A SIT DOWN FAMILY STYLE RESTAURANT OF SOME SORT, WE'RE GOING TO SEE MEDICAL USERS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S DENTISTS AND OPTOMETRISTS THAT ARE BANGING DOWN THE DOOR TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.

UM, THAT WAS MY BACKGROUND, AS I MENTIONED.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S A HIGH LEVEL OF INTEREST IN THAT AS WELL.

AND WE SEE THIS IN A LOT OF OUR DEVELOPMENTS, A LOT OF THESE CALLED THE RETAILIZATION OF MEDICINE.

WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF THESE, UM, MEDICAL PROVIDERS COMING INTO THE COMMUNITIES BECAUSE IT'S EASIER AND A LOT BETTER SERVICE FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

UM, BUT LIKE I SAID, THOSE SIT DOWN RESTAURANTS, THESE PATIOS, AREN'T GOING TO WORK FOR AN URGENT CARE.

THEY'RE GREAT FOR A SIT DOWN RESTAURANT.

AND THAT'S WHAT OUR INTENT AND DESIGN WAS TO BEGIN WITH AS WELL.

AND THE, THE DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOWS WERE A SECONDARY REACTION TO COVID THAT'S WHERE THOSE CAME FROM.

SURE.

UH, YEAH, THE, THE PATIO AND THE PROPOSAL SIDE, YOU'RE SAYING THE 26, 800 SQUARE FEET, ONE IN THE MIDDLE, AND THEN THERE'S TWO ON EACH FRONT FLANKING SIDE TOO AS WELL.

FAIR ENOUGH.

UM, AND SO ARE WE SAYING THAT THE TWO SERVICE AREAS RIGHT NOW ARE ANCHORS, OR THERE STILL MAY BE OPPORTUNITIES TO, UH, SEE, YOU KNOW, AN ALTERNATIVE IT'S ALTERNATIVE AS FAR AS WHAT, UH, DIFFERENT, UH, UH, FOOD OPTIONS AND WE WOULD, WE WOULD DEFINITELY WELCOME THAT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING FOR.

ABSOLUTELY.

SO, LIKE I SAID, WE GO WITH A RETAIL RESTAURANT BROKER, AND WE ALSO HAVE A MEDICAL GROUP AND WE, WE WELCOME BOTH OF THEIR, THEIR LOI THAT THEY'LL BRING.

UM, IF THE RESTAURANTS COME TO THE COMMUNITY, OF COURSE, I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO WELCOME, LOVE TO HAVE THAT.

UM, BUT WE FIND WE HAVE A LOT OF RETAILING IN MEDICAL AS WELL.

SO IT, THE RESTAURANT PORTION MAY NOT, MIGHT BE A, ANY POINT AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE OTHER CONCERNS, BUT THE LIKELIHOOD OF MORE OF A SIT-DOWN STYLE RESTAURANT WITH COVID ALLOWING IS HIGHLY LIKELY, HIGHLY LIKELY.

AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

UM, I, YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY.

I THINK SOMEBODY MENTIONED IT, BUT IS THERE A TRAFFIC STUDY THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US? YEAH.

IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY FOR REVIEW AND IT'S BEEN APPROVED.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT MADE IT TO THE COUNCIL, BUT OKAY.

WE CAN PROVIDE A COPY, BUT YEAH, IT WAS TO BNZ.

IS IT, IS IT WITHIN OUR NOTES RIGHT NOW? I'M ASKING IS IT HAS THE ODB PRESENTED WITHIN THIS PACKET.

WELL, OKAY.

I GUESS I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE PEAK HOURS DID, UH, WAS THAT MENTIONED IN, WITHIN OUR, WITHIN OUR INFORMATION RIGHT NOW, OR, I MEAN, I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS I MADE NEED MORE, WE MADE IT A TABLE FOR MORE, FOR ME TO GET MORE INFORMATION, WANT MORE DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRAFFIC STUDY IN WHAT IT DOES OR DOESN'T SAY ABOUT WHAT'S PLANNED OR WHAT ISN'T YET PLANNED AND WHAT FACTORS OF SAFETY HAVE BEEN PUT IN AND SO FORTH.

THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOME ADDITIONAL WORK ON OUR PART TO PROVIDE IT TO YOU.

WELL, THAT'S, THAT'S JUST, THAT'S JUST FOR ME COUNT.

SO I GUESS I JUST, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO HOLD A MEETING UP, BUT I GUESS I JUST HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

UM, ALL RIGHT.

UH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO KEEP GOING ON AND ON, WE COULD PROBABLY TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE OFFLINE ABOUT THIS.

UM, IS IT OKAY? WE JUST HAVE MORE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IT OR CHIP.

UH, CARLA, CAN WE JUST, CAN I GET A MOTION TO TABLE? THIS DOES ITEM FOUR.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE.

WE DO A MOSA FROM CUSTOMER MCCURDY.

WOULD YOU HAVE A SECOND FOR CUSTOMER STANDS? I'M SORRY.

PULL TIMMY TO HAVE A QUESTION.

SO WE DO HAVE A MOTION, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

WE DO HAVE A MOTION TO, TO TABLE, UH, F FROM CUSTOMER CARD, EVEN TO HAVE A SINGLE CUSTOMER SIMS. UH, I WOULD RATHER NOT PUT A DATE ON IT RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOU GUYS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TIMELINE, WELL, WE HAVE A PRETTY QUICK TIMELINE.

ACTUALLY.

WE HAVE SOME COMMITMENTS WITH THE TWO QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANTS, CONTRACTUALLY, AS FAR AS OUR DELIVERY TO THEM BASED ON THIS.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY I DON'T WANT TO PUSH YOU INTO A DECISION WE'RE NOT FAVORABLE OF.

THEIR TABLE BEFORE MOVING IN IT BY NEXT COUNCIL MEETING OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE, WELL, WELL, LET ME ASK, BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A, THERE, THERE WAS SOME CHANGES ON THE LEGISLATOR LISSANDRA.

BUT ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS ARE COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

UM, BUT OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, TIME'S OF THE ESSENCE FOR US AS WELL.

PERFECT.

OH, THAT'S, THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.

AND I'M WILLING TO WORK AND THEY'RE WILLING TO BE, ESPECIALLY IN CONSIDERATION

[01:40:01]

IS THERE A TIMELINE AS FAR AS, UH, AS FAR AS THIS.

OKAY, PERFECT.

SO CHANGED MY MOTION.

I, NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO THE STAFF.

GOT IT.

DID WE GET IT? UM, ALL RIGHT, SO COOL.

YOU HAVE THE MOTION.

WE DO HAVE A SECOND.

UH, ANY ADDITIONAL, FURTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, COUNSEL, IF NOT OUT OF FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

IT WOULD MOVE UP TO A TABLE FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.

UH, LET ME GET BACK TO MY AGENDA.

HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

[d. Receive a presentation on the proposed 2018 International Fire Code (IFC) amendments. ]

SORRY.

UH, NEXT ITEM IS D UH, RECEIVED A PRESENTATION ON THE PROPOSED 2018 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE IFC IN THE MINUTES.

I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM OUR FIRE MARSHALL, MS. ALEXANDER, HOW ARE YOU DOING, SIR? OKAY.

NO, NO, IT'S, IT'S UP TO YOU, BUT MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO COME BEFORE YOU AND SHARE SOME OF THE EXCITING THINGS THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS DOING TODAY.

UH, LIKE THIS PRESENT SOME OF THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE TO THE, UH, 2018 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE.

AND, UH, BEFORE WE GET STARTED, UM, GOING FROM THE 15 TO THE 18, UH, WE HADN'T SEEN, UH, VERY MANY EXCITING CHANGES, WHICH IS KIND OF GOOD.

UM, I CAN SAY THAT THE 2021 CODE IS THERE SOME, QUITE A FEW CHANGES COMING UP IN THAT.

SO, UH, I SIT ON THE COD FIRE ADVISORY BOARD AND, UH, WE ARE ACTUALLY STARTING TO REVIEW THE 2021 CODE RIGHT NOW.

SO NEXT SLIDE.

OH, WE GOTTA TO YOU TO WORK MR. FIRE MARSHALL TO AGAIN, IS THAT WE'VE GOT TO PUT YOU TO WORK.

OH YEAH.

IS IT THIS ONE? OKAY.

AND I, WE SIT DOWN AND WE HAVE A COUPLE OF MEETINGS, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT FROM THE 2015 TO THE 18, WE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGES IN OUR AMENDMENTS.

UM, FIRE DEPARTMENT VISION, WE ENVISION CEDAR HILL AS THE PREMIER CITY THAT RETAINS ITS DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER WHERE FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES FLOURISHED IN A SAFE AND CLEAN ENVIRONMENT.

I'M MISSING STATEMENT IS TO DELIVER PROFESSIONAL LIFE SAFETY SERVICES AS CITIZENS AND CUSTOMERS, BUT VISION STATEMENT WHEN VISITING THE CITY, CEDAR YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, TO BE READY FOR ALL CHALLENGES BY CONTINUALLY PREPARE YOU THROUGH TRAINING, DEDICATION AND DESIRE IN REVEALING OUR CORE FUNCTIONS, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, FIRE, FIRE, SUPPRESSION, FIRE ADMINISTRATION.

I'M HAPPY TO COME TONIGHT AND TALK ABOUT OUR FIRE PREVENTION DIVISION, WHERE WE STRIVE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH PROACTIVE SERVICES, INCLUDING FIRE CODE, ADOPTION ENFORCEMENT, EDUCATION INSPECTIONS, AND CONSTRUCTION PLAN REVIEW.

SO I KNOW THAT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW MEMBERS ON THE COUNCIL BOARD MAY HAVE NOT BEEN HERE WHEN WE ADOPTED THE LAST, UH, ORDINANCE.

AND SO I THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD JUST TAKE A LITTLE TIME AND KIND OF EXPLAIN HOW THAT PROCESS HAPPENS.

UH, I AM A MEMBER OF THE FIRE ADVISORY BOARD, AND AS I STATED, WE GET TOGETHER WITH OTHER FIRE MARSHALS AND CHIEFS IN THE METROPLEX, AND WE'LL REVIEW SIGNIFICANT CHANGES OF THE FIRE CODE.

LOOK AT MODIFICATIONS AND NEW SECTIONS FROM THE 15TH TO THE 18TH.

AND WE ADOPT THOSE AMENDMENTS THAT WE FEEL SUITABLE FOR THE TRENDS IN NORTH TEXAS AND THE DFW METROPLEX.

SO FROM THE 2018, I'M SORRY, FROM THE 2015 TO THE 2018, THERE ARE ABOUT A HUNDRED AND 101 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE HIGHLIGHTS TONIGHT.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO OVER ALL 100, BUT I THOUGHT I'D TAKE A FEW AND HIGHLIGHT TODAY SUCH AS SCHOOL LOCKING SYSTEMS, OUTDOOR EVENTS, SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, MOBILE REFUELING, INDOOR TRADE SHOWS, OCCUPANCY LOAD INCREASES.

AND SO IN THAT PROCESS OF ADOPTING THE, UH, ORDINANCE, I MEET WITH THE BUILDING OFFICIAL, BECAUSE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SECTIONS IN THE BUILDING CODE AND THE FIRE CODE THAT HAS, THAT HAVE TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME.

SO GAIL

[01:45:01]

SOME OF THE LOCAL ORDINANCE ADDITIONS THAT WE PUT IN THERE ARE HYDRANT DISTANCES, HYDRANT STORES, UH, THE STORZ ADAPTERS.

SO THE HYDRANT STORZ ADAPTER IS, UH, UH, ADOPTER ON THE HYDRANT, UH, FOR OUR FIVE INCH HOSES THAT WE CAN DIRECT DIRECT, DIRECT, DIRECT CONNECTION FROM THE FIRE TRUCK HOSE TO THE HYDRANT WITHOUT HAVING AN ADAPTER.

AND, UH, I THINK PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, UH, FOR LISTENING TO SOME OF OUR SUGGESTIONS.

WE'RE STARTING TO SEE NEW HYDRANTS WITH THOSE ADAPTERS ALREADY ATTACHED ON THEM.

AND ALSO THEY HAVE SOME MODEST BOX REQUIREMENTS.

AS YOU CAN SEE OUR CITY, A SURVEY CITY COVID ADOPTION COMPARISON.

THERE ARE ONLY FOUR OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED THE TWO, 2018 IFC.

NO ONE SPRINKLED HIGH RISE BUILDINGS HERE IN CEDAR HILL, BUT I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.

THIS FIRST CODE SECTION, I WAS SO EXCITED TO HAVE A, UH, CONVENTION CENTER BUILT HERE IN CEDAR HILL.

SO WHEN I STARTED READING THIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I WAS LIKE, HOW, HOW FITTING IS THAT TO BE IN THE CODE TO KIND OF ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE MAY SEE WHEN WE HAVE TRADE SHOWS AT OUR CONVENTION CENTER, ANOTHER, ANOTHER ONE TO POINT OUT OR OUTDOOR ASSEMBLY EVENTS, AND THEN SECTION 31 OH SIX, UH, CAME ABOUT FROM A COUPLE OF, UH, TRAGIC FATAL INCIDENTS THAT HAPPEN IN INDIANA CHICAGO AREA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE.

SO FROM THIS SECTION, UM, OPERATIONAL PERMITS WERE REQUIRED, A SAFETY PLAN FOR OUTDOOR GATHERINGS AND ALSO CROWD MANAGERS.

THE, UH, REQUIREMENT FOR CROP CROP MANAGERS CAME FROM THIS SECTION AS WELL.

IT ACTUALLY, IT WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THIS SECTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO, WE HAD THE ESPN GAME AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

AND SO WE HAD TO, UH, IMPLEMENT CROWD MANAGERS JUST FOR THAT GAME, BECAUSE IT WAS OCCUPANCY LOAD WAS SO HIGH THAT WE NEEDED MORE PEOPLE TO HELP OUT WITH CROWD MANAGEMENT, SECTION 1103 0.5 0.1, FIRE SPRINKLERS IN EXISTING EIGHT TO EIGHT OCCUPANCIES.

THESE ARE THE OCCUPANCIES ARE RESTAURANTS, BANQUET HALLS, UH, PLACES WHERE THEY SERVE ALCOHOL, WHERE THE OCCUPANT LEVEL IS OVER 300.

SO IN CEDAR CITY OF CEDAR HILL, THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO ANY OF OUR EXISTING OCCUPANCIES.

AND ALSO JUST TO POINT OUT, THIS SECTION CAME FROM THE STATION NIGHTCLUB.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL REMEMBER RHODE ISLAND TRAGEDY THAT HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

HEY, SEXY 1.2 0.2 AND 10, 10.1 0.4 FOR LOCKING ARRANGEMENTS AND EDUCATIONAL OCCUPANCIES.

THIS GIVES US A GUIDELINES, UH, IN LIGHT OF, UH, ACT, UH, ACTIVE SHOOTERS IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AND ALSO COLLEGES.

SO ADDRESSES THE GUIDELINES FOR THE INSTALLATION OF LOCKS AND OTHER DEVICES THAT KEEP, UM, THE ACTIVE SHOOTER OUT.

AND IT LETS, UH, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRST RESPONDERS IN.

SO WE'VE ALREADY STARTED TALKING WITH THE ISD, SOME OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS AND SOME OF THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION TIMES CONSIDERING THEIR BUDGET CONSTRAINTS.

SO WE WILL WORK WITH THEM ON IMPLEMENTING SOME OF THESE DEVICES IN SCHOOLS.

WELL, THE FEELING OPERATIONS, YOU MAY START SEEING, UH, MOBILE FUELING TRUCKS IN THE, IN OUR CITY, UH, THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE METROPLEX AND THIS SECTION GIVES GUIDELINES ON HOW THOSE COMPANIES CAN OPERATE IN CITIES.

MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THEY HAVE TO BE 25 FEET AWAY FROM A STRUCTURE APPENDIX M HIGH RISE BUILDINGS TO BE A RETROACTIVE.

SO ALL AROUND THE METROPLEX, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW HIGH RISE BUILDINGS AND HIGH RISE BUILDINGS OR BUILDINGS THAT ARE 55 FEET AND HIGHER.

UM, WHEREAS WHERE WERE BUILT DURING THE TIMES WHERE A SPEAKER SPRINKLE SPRINKLERS WERE NOT REQUIRED IN THE BUILDINGS, THIS, UH, CODE SECTION, UH, MANDATES THAT THOSE BUILDINGS HAVE TO BE SPRINKLED AND THEY'RE GIVEN A 12 YEAR COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE.

UH, LUCKILY WE HAVE

[01:50:01]

AND LASTLY, APPENDIX X, UH, INSTANCES A NEW SECTION, AND IT ALSO ADDRESSES INDOOR TRADE SHOWS GOING ALONG WITH, UH, WHENEVER OUR CONVENTION CENTER IS BUILT.

WE HAVE SOME GUIDELINES IN PLACE THAT, UH, MANDATE, UH, THE DISPLAYS FOR VEHICLES, FIREWATCH PERSONNEL DISPLAY ON STORES OF CERTAIN MATERIALS.

AND THAT KIND OF CONCLUDES THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SIGNIFICANT, UH, CHANGES TO THE CODE.

UM, THIS NEXT SLIDE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, COUNCIL WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO APPROVE, UH, PERMITS PERMIT FEES FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

CAUSE WE NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE.

AND, UH, SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF NEW FEES THAT I LIKE THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.

AND THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE A FEE FOR OUR COMMUNITY HOMES, FOSTER CARE IN HOME DAYCARE AND ALSO THE MOBILE REFUELING PERMIT FOR THOSE TRUCKS COMING INTO OUR CITY.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT MANY HAVEN'T SEEN ANY YET, BUT, UM, AS THE ECONOMY STARTS TO PICK UP AGAIN FROM COVID AND PEOPLE ARE GOING BACK TO WORK, UH, WE MAY SEE SOME OF THOSE TRUCKS COMING INTO OUR CITY AND THAT'S IT FOR MY PRESENTATION.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR MORRISON.

UH, JUST TO CLARIFY THE, UH, THE PERMIT FEES THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED, UH, IS THAT FOR US TO CONSIDER IN THE NEXT, UH, UH, BUDGET CYCLE? YES.

IT'S UH, I LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER IT FOR OUR, WHEN WE ADOPT OUR ORDINANCE.

OH, WE'RE NOT DOING IT.

FAIR ENOUGH.

AND, UH, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, IT'S NOT, UH, THE UNIT IT'S REALLY, YOU KNOW, MORE THE SIZE OF THE FACILITY.

UH, SO IF YOU'RE DOING A ONE-TIME 75.

ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCIL, CUSTOMER GO-GURT.

UM, BUT IF THE FACILITY IS, YOU KNOW, 10 TIMES BIGGER THAN JUST A, A REGULAR HOME, I GUESS IT'S GOT TO OFFER, WELL, IF IT'S A, IF IT'S A DAYCARE, UH, ONCE THEY REACH A CERTAIN NUMBER OF KIDS, UH, THEY HAVE TO GO TO COMMERCIAL.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

REAL QUICK QUESTION.

THAT HIGH PILE STORAGE FEE.

WHAT DOES THAT, IS THAT FOR RETAIL OR THAT WAS ON THE LAST SLIDE? WELL, THE, HOW PILE STORAGE IS FOR, UH, WAREHOUSES THAT HAVE, UH, STORAGE THAT'S HIGHER THAN 15 FEET.

THANK YOU, CUSTOMER HAYDEN.

I'M ON THE WRONG.

SO I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS RELATED THAT, FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE WE'RE IF I'M UNDERSTANDING IT RIGHT.

WE'RE ADOPTING A 2018 NOW.

AND YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT 20, 21 HAVING A LOT MORE CHANGES.

AT WHAT POINT DO WE LOOK AT THAT? OH, WELL, AT WHAT POINT, SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE CODES ARE ON A THREE-YEAR CYCLE.

SO THE 21 JUST CAME OUT JANUARY.

SO THE PROCESS IS THAT MOST MUNICIPALITIES WILL REVIEW THEM.

THE HAS, LET ME BACK UP, THE COGNITIVE VISORY BOARD WILL REVIEW IT FROM NINE MONTHS TO ALMOST A YEAR BEFORE THE COD, UH, INTRODUCES SOME RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS.

THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS THINKING FROM THE PAST, SINCE, SINCE WE, I DON'T REALLY LOOK AT THE ADOPTING THE 21 FOR PROBABLY ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF.

SO, UM, WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE ANY OF THESE FEES THAT WE'RE LISTING NOW WITH REGARDS TO THE RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED FEES, TENT FEE, MOBILE FEE.

DO WE HAVE A LIST OF, AT ALL, ANY KIND OF FEES AT THIS POINT? THAT'S FINE.

WE HAVE THOSE, THE FEES THAT I PRESENTED THAT NO, NO I'M SAYING, ARE THOSE ARE EXISTING FEES OR ARE THEY, I THOUGHT YOU INDICATED THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FEES AND THIS IS NOW A FEE SCHEDULE THAT WE'RE IN.

SO THE ONES THAT WE, THAT WE HAVE HERE, THEY'RE ALREADY EXISTING ACCOUNTS.

YOU ALL APPROVED THAT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

NO, I DON'T RECALL EVER SEEING THESE FEES.

BUT ANYWAY, I'M JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THIS, THE TWO QUESTIONS I HAD, NUMBER ONE ON THAT MOBILE FOOD THAT MOBILE, UH, FUELING YOU SEE THAT STARTING TO BE PRETTY PREVALENT IN THE METROPLEX.

SO THEY, IF THEY, HOW DOES THAT WORK? I MEAN, WHAT, WHAT ARE THEY, HOW DO THEY OPERATE? I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT.

WELL, SO THEY MAY CONTACT, LET'S SAY IT'S A, UH, A BUSINESS THAT HAS QUITE A FEW EMPLOYEES.

SO THEY MAY SEND OUT A FLYER OR CALL THEM UP AND SAY, HEY, WE HAVE THIS SERVICE THAT WE CAN FUEL YOUR VEHICLES.

AND SOME, SOME OF THEM EVEN WASH VEHICLES, THEY'LL WASH THE CAR AND THEY'LL FUEL IT UP

[01:55:01]

AND ONSITE.

I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.

SO NO, ON THE TENTS, IS THERE A CERTAIN SIZE KIT THAT YOU HAVE TO GET A PERMIT ON? OR IS IT ANY KIND OF TIME? YEAH, NOT, NOT A POP-UP TENT, BUT AT LEAST A 15, 15 SQUARE FEET.

AND SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE IT FOR, YOU KNOW, IN THE PUBLIC FOR PUBLIC REASONS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BY AND LOOK AT IT.

SO I THINK G YOU'RE WELCOME.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND THE COUNCIL THAT THE PLAN IN THE PACKET THE ENTIRE WELL CHANGE SOMEWHERE.

IF YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS WOULD BE YOUR RETIREMENT REVIEWS BACK.
