AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THE, UH, IS A VERY PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE.

AND WE FEEL LIKE THAT, UH, WE WILL GAIN SOME NOTORIETY FROM THIS PARTNERSHIP.

AND IT WAS INTERESTING THAT, UH, ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW DALLAS WAS TRADING THEM OWN GETTING PERMIT STAN.

AND SO ROSS PRO JUNIOR SAID, WELL, JUST GET ON OUT THERE.

UM, THAT'S A SPEAKING TO THE INTERNAL EXPERIENCE THAT THEY'VE HAD WITH WORKING WITH A DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TEAM.

NEXT ITEM IS THE WEBINAR AGENDA CASE NUMBER SP TWO NINE SIX 2020.

MS. CITY MANAGER,

[b. 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 SAFE PLAN WITH AN ALTERNATIVE I'LL CONTEXTURE DESIGN ON PROPERTY ZONE IN OUR LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT JOURNAL.

ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF EASTBOUND ON WORLD AND SAM'S DRIVE, BUT THE APPROXIMATE AGE HAS TO BE IN FIVE, THREE, EIGHT EAST BELTLINE ROLE.

THE PROPERTY OWNER DEVELOPER, CONCEIVED TO AN AGREEMENT TO UTILIZE A CERTAIN BID AND MATERIALS AND DESIGNED WITH THE CITY PERMISSION TO ALLOW A JOURNEY IT'S EASEMENT TO ISLANDS HIGHLANDS, SOUTH PARK APPLICANT.

SO IN GARNER CARIBBEAN ENGINEERING PROPERTY OWNER, JOHNNY'S SEPARATION SUPERHERO PARADIGM, J V LLC.

DO WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE TODAY, PLEASE DO.

THROUGHS, UM, AND THE TWO LARGER STRUCTURES STILL HAVE DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOWS.

GOOD EVENING.

I'M JOHN GARDNER 5,200 STATE HIGHWAY ONE 21 CALDWELL, TEXAS.

UM, WE'VE, WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES.

UH, JUST WANT TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE, UH, OPPOSING A SIDE PLAN FOR BUILDINGS.

UM, LAST TIME WE MET, WE DISCUSSED TRAFFIC QUITE A BIT.

UH, SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSION WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND, UM, WE HAVE PROVIDED A REVISED TIA, UH, FOR YOUR REVIEW AND, UH, WE'RE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY, GREAT.

UH, I'LL NOTICE THAT IT HAS BEEN SOME CHANGES AND UPDATES COUNCIL.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTION, THOSE COMMENTS ON THIS COUNCILMAN GILBERT, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UH, MAYOR, IS IT POSSIBLE TO PULL THE SITE PLAN UP? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO ON THE BIG SCREEN, ON THE BIG SCREEN? UH, CAN YOU NAVIGATE THAT FOR US? OH, THAT'S A DIFFERENT SCREEN.

W Y WHILE THEY, UM, WHILE LESLIE THE SECONDARY IS PULLING THIS UP, UM, THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK.

I JUST HAVE SOME, SOME, UH, QUESTIONS ABOUT THE, THE TRAFFIC ON, AT THIS LOCATION, UM, AND SAYING YOU HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL NEWS FOR US ALSO, BUT, UM, I AM CONCERNED THAT WE HAVE MORE ON THIS PROPERTY THAN THIS PROPERTY CAN SUPPORT.

WE HAVE FOUR STRUCTURES TO DRIVE

[00:55:01]

AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THOSE WILL BE, UH, MORE OF A SIT DOWN DINING EXPERIENCE.

UM, I AM JUST DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT VEHICLES ENTERING AND EXITING, EXITING THIS PROPERTY WILL COST TRAFFIC ON BELTLINE, UM, BEYOND THE SCHOOL ZONE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE, THE, THE SITE PLAN GOING TO THE VERY NORTHWEST CORNER WHERE YOU HAVE A 30 FOOT ENTRANCE TO ENTER THE, THE LOCATION, UM, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NEXT EXIT ON BELTLINE ROAD, WHICH IS THE 24 INCH LOCATION.

UM, I THINK OUR TYPICAL STREETS ARE SOME OF OUR RESIDENTIAL STREETS, 24 FEET IN, IN WITH, IF YOU HAVE A VEHICLE ENTERING THAT THE 24 FOOT WITH, AS A VEHICLE IS EXITING.

THAT'S A VERY TIGHT, TIGHT, UM, AREA TO, TO NAVIGATE WE'RE IN TEXAS, WE HAVE TRUCKS, DOOLEY'S, UH, DIESEL CABINS.

WE ALREADY HAVE VOCATIONS ACROSS CEDAR HILL WHERE WE HAVE CONGESTION, ESPECIALLY ON THE, UH, CHICK-FIL-A HOME DEPOT, KROGER PARKING LOT.

UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER WIDENING THAT 24 TO EIGHT 30? I UNDERSTAND THAT MEETS OUR STANDARDS.

MY CONCERN WAS THAT THE PEOPLE OF CEDAR HILL, WE HAVE THESE STANDARDS, AND I THINK THAT, UM, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'LL NEED TO ADDRESS WITH CITY STAFF AND PLANNING AS WE GO FORWARD TO EXPAND OUR STANDARDS BECAUSE LIFE HAS CHANGED OVER THIS SHOW HAS SHOWED US LIFE HAS CHANGED AND MAY NOT GO BACK.

AS YOU MENTIONED THAT PEOPLE WANT TO USE MORE DRIVE-INS AND DRIVE THROUGHS, WE'RE STILL OPERATING UNDERSTANDINGS WHERE PEOPLE, THE MCDONALD'S WITH THE PLAYGROUNDS AND WHERE YOU HAVE THE DINING EXPERIENCE.

IF THESE TWO LOCATIONS ARE, ARE GOING TO BE PRIMARILY DRIVE THROUGH, WE NEED TO UPSTATE, UH, UPDATE OUR STANDARDS.

SO I THINK THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DO SEPARATELY FROM THIS, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY THE STANDARDS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US, UH, LOOK INTO THAT AND HAVE A WORKSHOP WITH PLANNING AND ZONING TO SEE IF OUR STANDARDS STILL MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE OF CEDAR HILL IN 2021.

BUT MY QUESTION IS, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN FORESEE THAT YOU WOULD DO TO WIDEN THAT 24 INCH 24 FOOT? YES, SIR.

I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN CONSIDER, UM, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE RUN THROUGH, UM, CITY STAFF, UM, MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE OKAY WITH US WIDENING THAT, UM, THE DRIVEWAYS ARE MORE DICTATED BY TXDOT, UM, AND THE, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 30 FOOT AND THE 24 FOOT THERE, UM, WE ARE PROVIDING THAT DIESEL LANE.

SO CARS ARE GOING TO BE COMING IN AT A SLOWER SPEED BECAUSE OF THAT DIESEL LANE.

AND AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE PROVIDING ABOVE AND BEYOND THE REQUIREMENTS OF TECHSTOP AND CITY REQUIREMENTS.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO.

UM, I WOULDN'T WANT TO SAY YES, WE CAN DO THAT WITHOUT RUNNING IT PAST THE CITY ENGINEERS, BUT, UM, DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO.

EXCUSE ME, GOLDEN CHICK IS SOMEONE THAT'S COMING OUT OF THE GOLDEN CHICK OR, AND THE SAME HOLES FOR THE OTHER LOCATION.

BECAUSE DEFINITELY BECAUSE THE FIRST PRESENTATION WAS JUST THE TWO LOCATIONS.

AND WITHOUT US KNOWING WHAT THE OTHER TWO LOCATIONS ARE, WE CAN'T PLAN FOR THE PLANNING FOR A DOCTOR'S OFFICE WHERE PEOPLE COME IN HALF AN HOUR VISIT IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE PLANNING FOR A, A BRAHMS OR A.

SO WE CAN'T PLAN FOR THAT.

IF THAT'S NOT THERE ON STEM, WE HAVE TEXTILES STANDARDS.

BUT AS I WAS MENTIONING TO A MEMBER OF OUR CITY STAFF, WE HAVE RESIDENTS WHO DON'T FOLLOW TECH STOCK STANDARDS.

SO THAT, THAT 24 AND 24 FOOT DRIVEWAY, IF SOMEONE IS ENTERING THAT AFTER THEY HAVE PASSED THE 30 FOOT LOSS, SOMEONE IS EXITED CAPTAIN D'S AND ANOTHER CAR IS EXITING GOLDEN CHICK.

THAT'S THREE VEHICLES GOING IN THREE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND HOW WILL THEY NAVIGATE THAT 20 FOOT Y ENTRANCE EXIT.

BUT IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO AND ALSO WANT YOU TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THAT IS A RIDE IN RIDE OUT ONLY.

SO THERE THERE'S NO LEFT TURNS COMING ON TO EAST BELTLINE, OR, UH, WE HOPE NOT THAT'D BE GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION, BUT, UH, THAT, SO THAT DOES REDUCE THE, THE TRAFFIC AT THAT.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS.

SO SOMEONE WILL, I GUARANTEE YOU SOMEONE WHO'S GOING TO ENTER THAT.

WHAT DOES DESIGN AS AN EXIT BECAUSE IT'S NOT CURVED SO THAT YOU CAN'T ENTER IT.

SOMEONE IS GOING TO ENTER AND TRY TO GET TO THE EASTERN CHICK-FIL-A

[01:00:02]

I THINK CURB ENTRANCE FOR THE BUILDING, NUMBER ONE, WHERE VEHICLES CAN ONLY ENTER TRAVELING WEST, RIGHT? SO THEN ENTERING THAT 30 FOOT EXIT ENTRANCE, HOW DID THEY GET THEM TO THAT LOCATION? GET INTO WHICH BUILDING NUMBER ONE, IF SOMEONE IS ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY THAT IS 30 FEET WIDE, HOW DID THEY ENTER THAT DRIVE THROUGH? IF THAT DRIVE-THROUGH WAS A DIRECTED FOR WESTBOUND TRAFFIC AND THEY'RE GOING EASTBOUND.

SO YOU FOUND WOULD EITHER COME INTO THAT, UH, TO THE EAST DRIVEWAY OR THE WEST DRIVEWAY THAT COME INTO THE EAST DRIVEWAY, THEY'LL HAVE TO COME AROUND IN FRONT OF THE TWO BUILDINGS COME AROUND TO THE BACK, OR THEY CAN COME TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY IN LOOP AROUND THE PARKING PROVIDED IN THE BACK.

YOU SEE THE CHALLENGES.

IF YOU GO THERE, WHEN YOU PASS THAT, THEN YOU'RE GOING INTO THE MIDDLE OF LOCATION, THEN DRIVING BACK OUT.

I JUST HAVE REAL CONCERNS.

I APPRECIATE THE, THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENHANCED DINING EXPERIENCES IN THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL.

I JUST DON'T THINK THAT THIS TRAFFIC IS SET UP FOR THIS TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND NOT HAVE INDIVIDUALS HAVE CHALLENGES ENTERING AND EXITING THESE DRIVE-THROUGHS, YOU KNOW, THE WORD WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO APPLY TECH STOCK STANDARDS.

WHEN WE HAVE RESIDENTS, WHEN WE HAVE PEOPLE IN TEXAS DRIVE IN THE LEFT LANE, EVEN THOUGH THE LEFT LANE IS WHAT PASSING AND WILL, COULD BE CONSISTENTLY, WE ALL HAVE, HAVE SUFFERED DRIVING BEHIND SOMEONE.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THIS? BE IT BE SAFE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF CEDAR HILL, WHAT THIS TRAFFIC PATTERN THAT IT'S JUST KIND OF BEYOND CONFUSED.

I JUST ENVISIONED THIS NOT WORKING WELL, AND THAT'S MY CONCERN, RIGHT? SO TO MAKE IT FLOW BETTER, WE CAN, YOU KNOW, RECOMMEND A SLOW TRAFFIC THROUGH, UM, THROUGH SIGNAGE.

WE CAN ALSO ADD IN, UM, DIRECTIONAL SIGNS FOR TRAVEL THROUGH THERE.

UM, WE DO HAVE SEVERAL YIELD SIGNS THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY TO ENCOURAGE CAUTION.

UM, THAT'S, THAT'S THE INTENT AND THE DRIVERS, AS WE'VE SAID BEFORE, WHAT WE ARE TARGETING IS MORE OF A PARK AND WALK UP, UM, TENANTS.

AND, UH, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE PROVIDED IN THE, THE LATEST REVISIONS ON THE TRAFFIC STUDY, UM, LIKE BALA BOX AND PAYWAY, THOSE ARE A USER USERS THAT ENCOURAGE WALK UP, UM, CUSTOMERS VERSUS DRIVE THROUGH CUSTOMERS.

AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

THE, TO GO HAPPY ASPECT OF THE BUSINESS WAS TO HAVE THE PREVIOUSLY CONCEPTS LIKE JAPAN, LIKE FUZZY'S TORCHY'S TACOS, ALL GROUPS HAD NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED DON'T DRIVE THOSE IN THE PAST, OR I'LL TRANSITION INTO THE NEW BOTTLES, BEING A DRIVE-THRU FOCUS.

BEAM BE MINDFUL THAT PARKING IN THE SOUTH SECTION, YOU'RE TRAVELING AT A PEDESTRIAN IS WALKING ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET INTO EITHER BUILDING ONE, THE BUILDING TWO.

YES.

MA'AM, THAT'S TWO LANES AND THE, THE DRIVER AND THAT'S JUST CHALLENGING.

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU, CUSTOMER, GO OVER ANY OF THE QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL, UM, CAUSE I'M PRETTY USED THAT YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE OF OTHER NAMES THERE, YOU KNOW, IN ADDITION TO ORIGINALLY WE HAD DISCUSSED GOLDEN CHICK IN CAPTAIN D'S AND, UH, YOU, SO DO YOU HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL TENANTS FOR, FOR THESE OTHER TWO BUILDINGS? I'LL LET THEM HANDLE THAT.

NO, INTRODUCE OUR BROKER, TIM MCNUTT WITH DBA REALTY.

I'LL LET HIM SPEAK FOR HIMSELF, BUT I'D LIKE HIM TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO SOME OF THE TENANTS WE DO HAVE.

UM, AND AS WE ALL KNOW, IT'S A CHALLENGE TO SIGN LEASES OR GET PAST AN LOI STAGE UNTIL WE HAVE AN APPROVED SIPHON.

AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES AND THE, AND THE CONCERNS IS WE OWN THE PROPERTY AND OPERATE THE PROPERTY HERE.

UM, WE, YOU KNOW, THE INTERNAL TRAFFIC FLOW STUDIES AND WE HAD SIMILAR CONCERNS THAT YOU HAD, UH, COUNCILMAN COUNCIL MEMBER GLOVER, UM, WITH THE TRAFFIC INTO THE BUILDING.

AND THAT'S WHY WE TRY TO DIVERT THEM FROM DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

BUT WE DO HAVE AN LOI FROM BAHAMA BUCKS ON THAT WESTERN END AND THAT'S IN PLACE AND WE HAVE SOME TIMELINES OF DELIVERIES FOR THEM.

AND I'LL LET TIM KIND OF SPEAK TO THAT POINT.

AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC STUDY IS SAYING, PAYWAY SPECIFICALLY, THERE'S BEEN SOME CHANGES IN PAYWAY STRUCTURED, BUT SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT TIM'S TARGETING AND SPEAKING WITH, I THINK HE CAN ENLIGHTEN THE SITUATION.

SURE.

HI, I'M TIM MCKNIGHT.

I'M A ONE ZERO SEVEN ZERO FIVE AMBER GATE LANE, FRISCO, TEXAS.

UM, I'M A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AGENT, UM, IN DFW AND, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC, THE DRIVE THROUGH HERE IS JUST, YOU KNOW, WITH COVID GOING ON.

A LOT OF THESE TENANTS ADAPTED AND, UH, TOOK ON

[01:05:01]

NOW THAT'S NOT A DRIVE-THRU FOCUS WHERE THEIR SOLAR DON'T DRIVE THROUGH.

IT'S JUST A COMPLIMENT AND THOSE ARE COMPARABLE ASPECTS OF THEIR BUSINESS BASED ON WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED WITH COPA.

THEY PUT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE ABLE TO DO, TO GO AND DELIVER IN THE EXPEDITED.

AND SO HAVING A JOB THERE ON TOP OF THEM, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY BENEFICIAL FOR, FOR THE BUSINESS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE GOING AWAY FROM THE SIT-DOWN MODEL, WHICH WE WANT TO TARGET HERE.

AND SO OTHER TENANTS LIKE DONUT SHOPS, SMOOTHIE SHOPS, LIKE WE SAID, THE HAMA BOX IS VERY INTERESTED IN THE DRIVE-THROUGH BECAUSE IT IS A CONVENIENCE THAT'S BASED OFF THEIR MODEL.

IT DOES INCREASE REVENUE AND DRIVE THROUGH RIGHT NOW, IT'S KIND OF ACROSS THE 60 PROPERTIES THAT I LEASE AND DFW DRIVE-THROUGHS ARE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE HIGHLY, THEY'RE IN HIGH DEMAND RIGHT NOW.

AND THAT'S KIND OF THE TENANTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO TARGET THE ONE-OFF COFFEE, BUT THE COFFEE SHOPS, NOT SO MUCH THE STARBUCKS, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT DO THE BIG STACKING.

BUT YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU'RE FAMILIAR HERE IN CEDAR HILL, WHITE RHINO, THEY'RE VERY WHITE RHINO AND WHITE ROCK, WHITE ROCK COFFEE HERE, I'M BURBERRY THIRD EXPANSION MUDLICK AND THE DRIVE IS ALL ACROSS THE FW.

AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE TARGETING HERE.

AND YOU KNOW, THE SAME CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT THE TRAFFIC IN OUR CENTER, EVERY 10 THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO, THEY DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE GM CENTER WHERE THERE'S TRAFFIC AND THEY CAN'T GET THEIR CUSTOMERS IN AND OUT IN THERE.

AND SO IT'S A CONCERN THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS WITH THE TENANTS AS WELL.

AND YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE DRIVE THROUGH CONCEPTS ALSO STAGGER, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO BAHAMA ABOUT SOMEONE, THEN MAYBE IT MAKES SENSE TO DO A DONUT SHOP.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE OPENING AT NIGHT, BUT I DON'T KNOW THE DONUT SHOPS SHIPLEY'S AND SOME OF THOSE LOCAL OPERATORS, AGAIN, THEY CAN'T COMMIT TO, TO THIS DEVELOPMENT UNTIL WE HAVE A FIRM TIMELINE, WE HAVE BUILDING PLANS THAT ARE APPROVED AND THAT'S KIND OF WHO WE'RE TARGETING RIGHT NOW.

SO I CAN'T REALLY SPEAK TO, WHO'S GOING TO BE HERE.

YOU KNOW, I'D HAVE PF CHANG'S TO GO.

WHO'S DONE A COUPLE OF DEALS.

NOW I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT STARTED PAYWAY THEY SOLD IT.

NOW THEY'RE DOING THERE.

THEY'RE RECREATING PAYWAY AND THE P A P F CHANG'S TO GO.

AND SO I DO THINK THAT THE DRIVE-THRU WILL HELP LEASE UP THIS PROPERTY AND BRING SOME OF THE TENANTS THAT YOU'D WANT TO SEE IN CEDAR HILL TOO, SPECIFICALLY, BELTLINE AND SIMS. UM, BUT AGAIN, I, WE TEND TO MISS ANYTHING UNTIL WE HAVE A FIRM SITE PLAN THAT DEADLINE TIMELINE FOR DELIVERY, BUT TO COUNT FROM THE GLOVER, UH, TO ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS, YOUR CONCERNS ARE VALID IN THE TENANTS THAT WE TALKED TO ARE GOING TO HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS.

THEY DON'T WANT A BUNCH OF CARS STACKED UP AND GETTING HER RACKS IN FRONT OF OUR SHOPPING CENTERS.

AND THEY'D, THEY'D MAKE US WRITE OUR LEASES THE RIGHT WAY TO WHERE WE TAKE CARE OF THOSE PROBLEMS THAT THEY COME.

IF THOSE PROBLEMS ARE, UM, IF THEY COME TO BE, DO YOU HAVE SIGNED LEASES BEYOND TO GO? WE CAN'T SIGN A LEASE WITH HOW MANY COMMITMENTS, TRAFFIC, EXCUSE ME.

DO YOU HAVE COMMITMENTS BEYOND THE OPEN CHICK AND CAPTAIN D'S.

WE HAVE A BAHAMA BOX OF THIS READY TO COMMIT, BUT WE CAN'T COMMIT TO THAT WITHOUT A TIMEFRAME FOR DELIVERY.

BUT YOU MENTIONED THERE ARE ENTITIES THAT WOULD NOT COME HERE.

IF THE TRAFFIC PATTERN WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

WELL, YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE ARE ENTITIES, OTHER COMPANIES THAT WOULD NOT COME HERE TO THIS LOCATION IF THEY THOUGHT THE TRAFFIC PATTERN THAT IT, THAT IF IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR CUSTOMERS TO ENTER, THEY WOULD NOT.

DID I MISS HER HERE? SOMETHING TO DO? DID YOU, DID YOU MENTION THAT THERE ARE CONCERNS FROM OTHER COMPANIES THAT THEIR TRAFFIC PATTERN WOULD DISCOURAGE THEM FROM COUNCILMEMBER GLOBALLY? IF I COULD.

UM, OKAY.

NO, I, I, I DON'T OUR SITE PLAN AND EVERYTHING HERE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO DETER ANY OTHER, ANY OTHER, UH, TENANT FROM BEING HERE, BUT TRAFFIC AND PARKING AND IN CIRCULATION FOR A SHOPPING CENTER IS A VALID CONCERN FOR ANY TENANT GOING INTO THERE BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE PUTTING A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN HERE INTO OUR SHOPPING CENTER AND THE LANDLORD'S INVESTING INTO THE SPACE AS WELL.

BUT PUTTING DRIVE-THROUGHS ON THE BUILDING, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, DOES THAT, DOES THAT DETER A MEDICAL TENANT COMING IN HERE? PROBABLY NOT.

I MEAN, WE HAVE, WE HAVE TENANTS, OH, MR. SULLIVAN LEFT, BUT HE'S IN HIS, UH, HE DOES URGENT CARE AND SOME OF THE CENTERS THAT WE'VE LEASED IN THE PAST, AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE DETERRED BY DRIVE-THROUGHS BY ANY MEANS.

BUT AGAIN, THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S, IT'S DONE THE RIGHT WAY AND THE CITY APPROVES ON IT.

AND THAT WE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY AND THAT THE PARKING IS OPEN AND THAT THE, THAT THE CENTER DOES FLOW.

AND THE I'D SAY THE MAIN TENANTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE CONCERNED THAT IT'S THE DRY FOOD IN IT.

SO THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR TENANTS INTO THE SPACE, DRIVE THROUGH, GET, PICK UP THEIR ORDERS AND GET OUT

[01:10:01]

RELATIVELY EASILY.

I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S THE GOAL OF THIS IS TO GET TENANTS IN AND OUT OF THERE AND THE DRIVE-THROUGHS EASILY.

AND AGAIN, I DON'T THINK THIS IS A THROUGHS THAT ARE JUST GOING TO STACK UP CRAZY.

LIKE YOU SEE CHICK-FIL-A AND STARBUCKS, DO.

I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE MORE OF A LOCAL OPERATORS, LIKE THE HUMBLE BOX AT ANY TIME, I'D BE HARD PRESSED TO SEE HOW BAHAMA BUCKS HAVE 10 CARS IN THE STACKING LANE AT ANY TIME.

AND SO THIS IS MORE DESIGNED FOR A WORST, YOU KNOW, A HEAVY, HEAVY TRAFFIC.

AND THEN WE WERE ALSO, LIKE I SAID, IF WE DO BAHAMA BOX ON THE OTHER SIDE, DO A DOUGHNUT SHOP, DONUT SHOP IS GOING TO BE CLOSE AT TWO O'CLOCK BAHAMA BUCKS WILL BE OPEN ALL DAY.

SO I DON'T THINK THE TRAFFIC WILL CROSS OVER TOO MUCH, BUT AGAIN, I CAN'T COMMIT TO HAVING A DONUT SHOP.

THAT'S ALL.

I HAVE A TIMELINE AND BUILDING THAT, UH, INSIDE PLAN.

THAT'S READY TO SHARE FOR US TO SIGN LEASES.

UH, ALLOW ME TO KIND OF SUM IT UP.

COUNSEL, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, UH, TO BRING UP, UM, JUST, JUST FURTHER ON IN THE AUDIENCE.

SO, UH, THIS CAME BEFORE THE COUNCIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE.

AND, UH, I HAD A CONCERN ABOUT, UH, THE TRAFFIC, UM, IMPACT.

AND, AND, AND LET ME CLARIFY THE REASON WHY I HAD CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHEFFICK IMPACT BECAUSE WHAT'S BEING BROUGHT BEFORE US IS THAT THIS IS A SITE PLAN, BUT WE KNEW WHAT PHASE ONE WAS GOING TO BE, BUT HE DIDN'T PROPOSE A PHASE TWO WAS GOING TO BE.

AND WHAT I DIDN'T WANT WAS TO APPROVE A SITE PLAN WITHOUT ANY, YOU KNOW, SOFT COMMITMENTS ON WHAT PHASE TWO COULD BE.

UH, BUT NOW THAT I'M HEARING THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU CONSIDERING A MAMA BUCKS AND YOU CONSIDERING, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER WHAT I CALL, I GUESS, A LOW DENSITY, YOU KNOW, UH, RETAILER, UH, THEN, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF CHECKS THE BOX FOR ME.

UH, AGAIN, THE TRAFFIC STUDY WAS DONE DURING THE PIN MIMIC.

AND IF SCHOOL GOES BACK INTO, FROM FULL MOTION IN AUGUST, THEN THE TRAFFIC STUDY TO ME, YOU KNOW, KIND OF EXPIRES.

BUT AGAIN, IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE SAME ZACK, UH, UH, RETAILERS AS YOU GOING TO DO A PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO, AND I KNEW A HUNDRED PERCENT, I WOULDN'T BE IN SUPPORT.

SO YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION, UH, AS FAR AS MOVING FORWARD, BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE MORE OF A, A LOWER DENSITY WITH A DIFFERENT TIME SCHEDULE.

UH, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE WHAT'S ON PHASE ONE, PHASE TWO, AS IT RELATES TO CUSTOMER COMMENTS ABOUT, UH, STANDARDS, UM, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL MEMBER GLOVER, YOU WERE ACTUALLY IN A PERFECT POSITION BECAUSE, UM, AND, AND YOU GOT ACTUALLY MISSED THE BUS BECAUSE OUR COMP PLAN WAS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED LAST YEAR, UH, BY DAVID, DEPENDING ON MAKE, WE ACTUALLY STILL GOING THROUGH THAT.

BUT COUNSEL, YOU STILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADOPT A NEW COMP PLAN GOING INTO 2022.

SO ACCUSTOM AND GLORIA, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT STANDARDS THAT YOU WANT TO POTENTIALLY INCREASE, UH, WE HAVE THAT OPTION.

YOU HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY HERE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

SO, UH, YOU'D BE ABLE TO, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, HAVE THAT, UH, HAVE THAT IN MOTION PRETTY SOON.

UM, SO I GUESS THAT'S REALLY MORE WHAT I WAS GOING TO MAKE SURE I TALK ABOUT, UM, THE FACT THAT YOU CAME BEFORE US THIS TIME, AND YOU BROUGHT YOUR REAL ESTATE REPRESENTATIVE, UH, YOU ACTUALLY PROPOSED SOME LOW INTENSITY, UH, DEVELOPMENTS, YOU ADDRESS MY TRAFFIC CONCERNS.

UH, YOU ARE, YOU ACTUALLY, THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE EASEMENT GOING INTO, UH, HIGHLANDS.

UH, YOU KIND OF CHECKING OUT A BOX FOR ME AND ALSO COUNSELING.

LET ME SAY THIS BECAUSE WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS IN BRIEFING, BUT BEFORE AN APPLICANT COMES TO US, ALL RIGHT, OH, ARE, MAYBE, IS ACTUALLY AFTER THE SITE PLAN PHASE, BUT WE DO HAVE A DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE.

AM I SAYING THAT RIGHT? DRC DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE, AND THEN ALSO THEN CONES FIRE, A REPRESENTATIVE OF POLICE, REPRESENTATIVE PARKS, REPRESENTATIVE.

I THINK A SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVES, UH, SOMEONE IN, IN, IN SCHOOL, MAYBE SCHOOL, REAL ESTATE, BUT YOU HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT PLAYERS TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS, YOU KNOW, UH, IMMEDIATE IMPACTS, UH, TO WHEREVER THEY ARE, UH, IN, IN, IN WHEN I SAY SCHOOLS, NOT JUST BECAUSE HIGHLANDS IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, BUT IT'S ALSO ANY DEVELOPMENT.

WE ALWAYS HAVE A DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE AND WE HAVE THOSE AS NEEDED PART.

SO WE DO THAT HERE IN CEDAR HILL.

UH, SO IT'S GOOD THAT YOU HAVE THOSE CONCERNS, BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT'S KIND OF DONE IN THE BACKGROUND.

WE DON'T REALLY BRING THAT TO COUNCIL'S ATTENTION.

SO A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE ASK AND, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE KNOW, WE JUST, WE JUST VERY CONCERNED, RIGHT? UM, YOU ACTUALLY RIGHT ABOUT THE TEXTILE, TEXTILE MAY HAVE STANDARDS BECAUSE HAVE A GLOVER, IF OUR STANDARDS ARE MORE STRINGENT THAN TEXTILE, THEN, THEN WE KIND OF OVERSET THAT.

SO IT'S JUST WHAT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME, TO FLEX A MUSCLE A LITTLE BIT.

SO I THINK I KIND OF TOUCHED ON OUT OF THAT COUNCIL, UH, BECAUSE OF THE DAYS, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER HAYDEN, DO YOU HAVE ANY, THANK YOU MAYOR.

UM, WHAT I DID HERE, UH, FROM THE OTHER GENTLEMEN, YOU'RE THERE WAS HERE, THERE WAS A WILLINGNESS TO, UH, CONSIDER THE 30 FOOT LANE.

IS, IS THAT, DID I HEAR THAT? PERFECT.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND SAME THING WENT FOR THE RIGHT TURN DIESEL LANE AND THAT WAS, WILL REQUEST FROM ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

ABSOLUTELY.

RIGHT.

WELL, FOR ME, THE THINGS THAT COUNCIL MEMBER BLUBBER HAD THE CONCERN ABOUT, I HEARD A WILLINGNESS ON YOUR PART TO

[01:15:01]

ADDRESS THERE, SO I'M READY TO MOVE FORWARD.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IF I MAY, THE TRAFFIC STUDY ACTUALLY WENT BACK 10 YEARS.

SO WE TRIED TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME OF THE NON COVID RELATED TRAFFIC.
