I DID DREAM ABOUT YOU FALLING DOWN AT WELL.

WE HEAR ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME.

UM, BUT ANYWAY, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT YOU GIVE MR. PORTER, AND I WANT TO THANK GREG.

REALLY GETS THE WORK DONE EVERY DAY.

YEAH, AND I DID NOT MENTION, BUT UH, ALL CITIZENS WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO, UH, TO BE ABLE TO COME BEFORE COUNCIL.

UH, NEXT PERSON I HAVE ON, UH, MY FORM HERE IS ROB FRANKIE IS ROB FRANKIE.

HERE HE IS.

I THINK HIS TOPIC IS STAFF ISSUES.

YES.

SO I PUT ON THOSE STAFF ISSUES.

HOW ARE YOU BROTHER? MAYOR? COUNCIL'S GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL.

UM, YEAH, LIKE 35 YEARS AGO.

SORRY.

BARE FOOT RECORD.

CAN YOU GIVE US THE ADDRESS PLEASE? BY THE WAY.

UM, EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ROYCE WEST WAS HERE FOR A FEW MINUTES JUST TO CHECK IN AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW HE'S BEEN BUSY.

OH, IS HE STILL HERE? OH, I WAS GOING TO COVER FOR YOU IF YOU HAD TO LEAVE.

NOT THAT I COULD, BUT I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW YOU'RE HERE.

SO MY THREE MINUTES CAN BE UP IN A MINUTE.

SO FIRST OF ALL, 35 YEARS AGO, UM, EARLY IN MY CAREER AND JUST STARTING OUT, I'D MET MYSELF A LITTLE CEDAR HILL GIRL AND MOVED TO CEDAR HILL, GOT MARRIED, MOVED INTO A HOUSE, UM, DOGWOOD UP IN A WILDFLOWER ADDITION AND, UH, JUST KIND OF GETTING STARTED IN COACHING KIDS AND SOCCER AND CEDAR HILL YOUTH, ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

OR ARE THESE 35 YEARS LIVING HERE SEEING A LOT OF CHANGES IN THE CITY.

IT'S BEEN AMAZING.

WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THIS TOWN AND YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAYING OF ALL THE OTHER COOL THINGS THAT GO ON HERE.

THEY LOVE THE PEOPLE.

THEY LOVE THE CULTURE AND ALL, BUT THE ONE THING THAT'S BEEN A CONSTANT THROUGH ALL THE 35 YEARS HAS BEEN VERY IMPORTANT.

AND, UH, WE ALL KNOW THAT GREG WOULD BE OUT DOING ANYTHING FROM CUTTING GRASS TO SERVING, TO BEING ABLE TO GO FROM THE BIGGEST ISSUES WE FACE TO THE DETAILS.

BUT REALLY THE THING I THINK BESIDES GETTING THINGS DONE IS ALAN KNOWS WELL, AND BEING THERE IS REALLY BEEN THE KEEPER OF THE CULTURE BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL ABOUT THE CITY.

AND PEOPLE THINK IT JUST HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY.

MOST OF THE CITIZENS JUST THINK THIS IS A GOOGLE PLACE TO LIVE AND THEY LIKED SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT THEY CAN'T PUT THEIR FINGER ON IT.

BUT IT BOILS DOWN TO THE CULTURE OF THIS TOWN THAT THEY LOVE.

AND THAT'S INTENTIONAL.

IT DOESN'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.

IT TAKES PEOPLE REALLY WANTING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

AND THAT HAPPENS SO MUCH WITH YOU ALL IN THE CITY.

BUT THROUGH THIS 35 YEARS, GREG'S BEEN THE KEEPER OF THAT AND HOLDING ON TO THE FUNDAMENTALS THAT MAKE US WHAT WE ARE.

UH, THERE'S AN OLD SAYING IT'S NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT ANYMORE, AND IT'S PROBABLY SEXIST.

I'M WRONG FOR SAYING IT, BUT BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL MAN, THERE'S A GREAT WOMAN.

AND, UH, JUST A TWIST ON THAT BEHIND EVERY REALLY GOOD AND SUCCESSFUL COUNCIL.

THERE'S AN AMAZING STAFF THAT REALLY MAKES IT ALL HAPPEN AND PUTS THE, PUTS THE SHOE DOWN AND JUST

[00:45:01]

AND GREG HAS BEEN A MEMBER AND A LEADER AND THE KEEPER OF THE CULTURE OF THAT STAFF FOR 35 YEARS.

GOD BLESS YOU.

MY BROTHER, I'VE LOVED WORKING WITH YOU.

I LOVE SENIOR ROUND WHEN I CAN GET A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME, BUT COUNSEL, YOU'VE GOT A GOOD ONE FOR YOU.

KEEP HIM.

I BLESS YOU ALL NEXT.

WE HAVE A IN THE WEST WELCOME SENATOR.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

GLAD TO BE HERE AND SEE THE HERE.

LET ME TELL YOU AN INTERESTING STORY.

THIS EVENING.

I HAD PLANNED TO VISIT THE SCHOOL BOY BECAUSE I HADN'T BEEN IN CEDAR HILL OR COUNCIL MEETING OR A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING IN SOME YEARS NOW, GIVEN THE FACT THAT THEY'VE HAD COVID MY RUN FOR THE US SENATE, KEPT ME OUT OF THE DISTRICT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU WERE CELEBRATING.

THE CITY MANAGES 35TH ANNIVERSARY GRAVE WITH THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL.

AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, I'VE BEEN KNOWING YOU FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

I CAN RECALL WHEN A CERTAIN CITY COUNCIL MEMBER WAS THE, UH, CITY MANAGER.

AND HE HAD NOTHING.

BUT WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT YOU, WHEN YOU BECAME CITY MANAGER, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU, WHEN A PERSON STARTS OFF, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE SEARCHING FOR WORDS, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

WHEN I ASKED ALAN ABOUT YOU AS A CITY MANAGER, FRANKLY, HE SAID, AND HE IS TRUE TO HIS WORD THAT THE CITY WOULD NOT MISS A BEAT AND THE CITY HASN'T MR. BEAT UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AND I KNOW THAT THE BEST IS YET TO COME WITH THIS LEADERSHIP.

THAT'S HERE ON THIS COUNCIL.

WHEN THEY GET READY TO LEAVE, THEY'LL PASS THE BATON ONTO ANOTHER GENERATION OF CITIZENS HERE IN THE CITY.

WHEN YOU GET READY TO LEAVE, YOU WILL PASS IT ON TO A DESERVING CITY MANAGER.

NOW I KNOW THAT YOU PROBABLY DON'T DO ALL THE WORK.

IT'S PROBABLY DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.

THAT'S DOING ALL THE WORK.

BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS CONGRATULATIONS.

AND I'LL MAKE CERTAIN, WE GET A PROCLAMATION TO FRANKLY, COMMEMORATE THIS DAY.

MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND CONGRATULATION NOURMOUS SUPPORTER.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY TO YOU, MR. MAYOR, NOW THE MEMBERS I'M HERE, LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN ANY SITUATION THAT YOU FIND YOURSELF, THAT YOU NEED SUPPORT AT THE STATE OR THE NATIONAL LEVEL.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY GOOD EVENING TO YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO CUT IN FRONT OF CITIZENS THAT WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE, BUT I'M GOING TO GET BACK UP TO A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING TO SAY HELLO TO THEM ALSO.

SO GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY WAY THANK YOU, SENATOR.

AND IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU AND YOU ALWAYS ARE WELCOME.

UH, NEXT, UH, SINCE THEN I HAVE IS, UH, SAY AN ALLEN TOPIC.

ADDISON HERE WAS PROJECT, GOOD EVENING.

YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU'RE 35 YEARS OLD.

WE HAVE TWO WAY ROADWAY THERE.

ANYWAY.

UH, MY, UH, UM, OPPOSITIONS FOR THE ADDISON HILLS PROJECT OVER THERE, I'VE BEEN ON DUNCANVILLE ROAD FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS.

AND I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE I'M REPEATING THIS MOST STUFF.

THAT'S BECAUSE I AM.

WHEN YOU GET OLDER, YOU HAVE A TENDENCY TO REPEAT THINGS, BUT ON DUNCANVILLE ROAD IS WHERE I'VE LIVED FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS.

AND I WATCHED THIS CITY GROW UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF MAYOR FRANKLIN AND UH, MR. SAMS. AND WE MOVED HERE FOR A LOT OF THOSE REASONS.

NICE QUIET PLACE HAD A LOT OF AGRICULTURE HERE IN PROPERTY THAT I COULD AFFORD.

I'M JUST A COMFORTABLE FROM MCKINNEY, TEXAS.

SO WE'RE USED TO THAT.

WE GOT HERE, WE LIVED HERE AND THEN THESE FARMERS FROM CALIFORNIA STARTED MOVING IN AND MADE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT.

BUT AS MR. FORD AND THE MIRROR WAS SAYING BEFORE, THERE WAS A CULTURE ABOUT THE CITY THAT YOU CAN LEARN TO APPRECIATE.

IT'S GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED, SHOPPING CENTERS, ROADWAYS, UH, GOOD PEOPLE IN A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GET TO ANYWHERE IN DALLAS CANON ABOUT 15 MINUTES, UNLESS THERE'S AN ACCIDENT ON 30 OR 75 OR 6 35.

BUT, AND I KNOW THINGS CHANGE, BUT SOME THINGS NEED TO BE CHANGING SLOWLY.

I SAY THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH DUNCANVILLE ROAD.

[00:50:01]

IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED UP IN HAWAII WHERE WE GOT MORE TRAFFIC COMING.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON DUNCANVILLE ROAD.

WE'VE GOT MORE TEENAGE DRIVERS COME IN HERE AND YOU SEE THE DRIVER HAS A TENDENCY TO DRIVE FAST.

30 MILES AN HOUR IS NOT A SPEED LIMIT FOR THEM.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE ON DUNCANVILLE ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS HIGH USE OF TRAFFIC.

NOW WHAT I WOULD ASK, BUT NO, WE CAN'T STOP IT.

I'M GONNA APPRECIATE MR. HILL.

IT'S EASIER FOR COMING HERE BECAUSE HE SO GROWTH AND HE SAW A NEED HERE, BUT HE COULD HELP US OUT.

AND IF THE CITY COULD HELP US OUT AND WHERE WE CAN GET IT OUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT'S POCKET, PUT SOME TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON THERE AND ALL THE LIGHTS YOU HAVE ON DUNCANVILLE ROAD FROM BEAR CREEK TO, TO, UM, INNOCENT ROAD OR JOHNSON ROAD IS THE LIGHT I HAVE AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY.

IT'S DARK AT NIGHT OVER.

I GET THE LESS I SEE NOW SOMEBODY ASKED ME WHEN I SELL THE MOOD, THEY SAID, SAM, YOU CAN COME OUT PRETTY GOOD WITH THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY THERE.

I DIDN'T BUY IT TO SAY THAT I DROVE.

I BOUGHT IT TO LIVE THERE.

SO MY GRANDKIDS ARE PLAYING THAT BACKYARD.

SEVEN ACRES OF BACKYARD.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD, HUH? AND Y'ALL CAN COME OVER ANYTIME YOU WANT TO RIDE THE HORSE MILK COWS AND HOUSEMATES, BUT THAT'S COUNTRY LIFE.

I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO STAY THAT WAY.

SO THAT'S MY WAR.

AT LEAST AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

I'VE GOT ABOUT 10, 20 MORE YEARS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, MR. ALLEN.

NEXT I HAVE IS A GERMAN ON, THANK YOU, CITY COUNCIL, CONGRATULATIONS.

UH, CITY MANAGER, 35 YEARS, DRUM ALONE, 1813 SOUTH DUNCANVILLE ROAD.

SEGRO TEXAS.

FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WHEN I LOOK AT, UM, DEVELOPMENTS COMING IN, JUST LIKE MY NEIGHBOR SAID, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE TO HANDLE ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS WE'RE NOT TAKING UNDER CONSIDERATION.

THE FACT THAT BEAR CREEK ESTATE STILL HAS A WHOLE PHASE THAT HAS TO BE DONE.

WE ALSO HAVE, UM, I THINK IT'S BEAR CREEK AT THE VINEYARD THAT WAS APPROVED A FEW YEARS BACK.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE.

WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT ON 1382 BY THE CARWASH.

WE HAVE ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING IN BEHIND THE, UM, NEIGHBORHOOD.

WALMART.

WE HAVE ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING ON IN CLARK ROAD.

I BELIEVE THAT WHEN IT COMES TO RURAL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT MORE OF A HARDSHIP TO REZONE THOSE PROPERTIES, NOT LOOKING AT IT.

WELL, THIS PERSON WANTS TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY.

LET'S RESOLVE IT SO THEY CAN SELL THEIR PROPERTY.

IF THEY WANT TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY, THEY JUST NEED TO PUT IT UP FOR SALE.

BUT I DON'T THINK RIGHT NOW THAT WE NEED TO MOVE SO FAST BECAUSE I'M NOT ANTI-DEVELOPMENT.

BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE IF WE GET ALL THESE THINGS IN THE WORKS, NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BIG EXPLOSION OF PEOPLE IN THIS AREA THAT WE'RE REALLY NOT READY FOR.

I DON'T THINK THE CITY IS REALLY READY FOR THAT AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO JUST HAPPEN OVERNIGHT, INSTANTANEOUSLY.

I'M JUST LIKE REST OF MY NEIGHBORS.

I UNDERSTAND CHANGE IS GOING TO COME.

I GET THAT, UNDERSTAND THAT TOTALLY.

BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THAT THE CHANGE THAT WE MAKE NEEDS TO GO AT A LITTLE BIT SLOWER PACE.

I LOVE WHAT CEDAR HILL HAS DONE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 2000.

I LOVE THE CITY, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

I'VE HAD AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE WITH ALL THE STAFF HERE AT THE CITY.

THEY WELCOMED ME IN FOR THE DIFFERENT BOARDS THAT I'VE BEEN ON.

I, IF I HAD AN ISSUE WITH ANYTHING, I COME TO A STAFF MEMBER, THEY HELPED ME OUT.

I LOVE THE NEIGHBORS THAT I HAVE, YOU KNOW, UM, LOVE RAISING MY KIDS UP HERE.

AND JUST LIKE ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS SAID, I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY THAT I HAVE TO ACTUALLY RETIRE HERE.

I DON'T REALLY WANT TO MOVE FROM HERE, BUT OUR TRANQUILITY, OUR PEACE AND THE QUIETNESS THAT WE HAVE IN THAT LITTLE CORNER OF THE CITY, THAT LITTLE MINING CORNER OF THE CITY IS REALLY NOT READY FOR 250 HOUSES.

IT'S JUST NOT, NOT ON THAT LITTLE BITTY PIECE OF PROPERTY.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT AND TAKE EVERYTHING OUT OF WHAT GOES INTO THAT PROPERTY, THE 7 68 ACRES, BUT IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE TO 68 ACRES OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING HOUSES ON 250 HOUSES.

REALLY.

I CAN SEE THE MELAMINE OF 50, 60 HOUSES UP IN THERE.

LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT AGAINST DEVELOPING THAT PROPERTY, BUT I JUST THINK THAT'S TOO MUCH.

COUNCIL, BRITISH MCSHANE, 1837 SOUTH DUNCANVILLE ROAD.

NEXT THING IS, UH, I BELIEVE IT'S, UH, BRUCE MCSHANE, TOPIC, ADDISON HILLS CANADIAN, BRUCE, THANK YOU, MAYOR AND CITY

[00:55:01]

AND I ASKED THE OTHERS.

I'M NOT OPPOSED TO DEVELOPMENT.

THIS WAS SAID AT THE LAST MEETING THAT WE FEEL THAT Y'ALL FEEL THAT WE ARE OPPOSED TO IT.

NO, BUT RIGHT NOW IT IS OWNED ACROSS THE STREET DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR HOUSE FOR A LOT.

EACH LOCK IS 87,120 SQUARE FEET PROPOSED SIZE OF THE LOTS ARE 6,000 OR 7,200 SQUARE FEET, A DRASTIC, DRASTIC CHANGE.

I DON'T THINK ANYONE HERE WOULD WANT THAT ACROSS FROM THE, THE SECOND THING IS THE SAFETY ISSUE.

IT WAS STATED WHEN THIS FIRST CAME OUT THAT WE WERE HERE, THAT THERE'S BEEN A TRAFFIC STUDY.

DO WE HAVE THE TRAFFIC STUDY? I HAVE NOT SEEN A CAR COUNTER ON DUNCANVILLE ROAD TILL LAST WEEK.

IT WAS THERE.

I BELIEVE THREE DAYS YOU CANNOT GET A TRAFFIC STUDY FROM THAT.

AT THE LAST MEETING WE ADDRESSED THIS.

IT WAS STATED THAT I BELIEVE YOU SAID BELTLINE ROAD WAS APPROVED FOR DEVELOPMENT.

IT TOOK 40 YEARS TO FINISH IT.

IS IT GOING TO TAKE 40 YEARS TO FINISH DUNCANVILLE ROAD WITH THIS MANY PEOPLE COMING OUT? WHERE ARE WE GOING TO BE? HOW'S THIS I'M NOT GOING TO BE ALIVE, BUT THE SAFETY ISSUE, WE NEED TO REALLY CONSIDER IT.

UH, NEXT IS CHRISTIAN AND I CAN'T PRONOUNCE YOUR LAST NAME.

CHRISTIAN, A TOPIC AS HILLS.

GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MS. PORTAL OR REGULATIONS, BUT 35 YEARS.

I WAS IN FOURTH GRADE AT THAT TIME.

UH, I'M HERE TONIGHT.

GIVE US YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

MY NAME IS CHRISTIAN.

MY LAST NAME IS 1731 SOUTH DUNCANVILLE ROAD.

UH, I'M HERE AGAIN TONIGHT, UH, ON THE, UH, ADDISON HILL AND I'M ORIENTED COUNCIL MEMBERS.

PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE FOR SOME OF THE REASONS THAT I'M GONNA PRESENT TO YOU GUYS.

UH, LAST TIME I HAD A POOR DAYS.

AGAIN, I'M NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT, IT'LL EVENTUALLY COME.

UH, BUT UM, THE LITTLE POCKET WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT AREA, UM, I'M GOING TO APPROACH IT FROM THE HEALTH STANDPOINT.

UH, THE IMPACT IS GONNA HAVE ON PEOPLE LIVING IN THAT AREA.

UH, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T CONSIDER TRAFFIC, ANYBODY THAT WALKED IN DALLAS EVERY MORNING, YOU DRIVE UP, GET ON 67, THE TRAFFIC ALONE.

IF YOU CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE, IT'S GOING TO BUMP UP AT LEAST BY FIVE UNITS.

YOU COME IN BACK INTO SOMETHING, BUT THE ONLY HABIT, QUIET PLACE, LIKE THE LITTLE POCKET WE HAVE YOU COME HOME, YOU CAN RELAX, NOT MUCH NOISE ANYMORE.

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE MOVING OVER THERE THAT COME IN BECAUSE OF THE SERENITY, THE CALMNESS OF THE AREA, AND, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, PUTTING THAT NUMBER OF HOUSES OVER THERE, UH, I THINK IS GONNA CHANGE THE WHOLE EQUATION OVER THERE.

UH, PUTTING, YOU KNOW, TWO ACOLYTES IS BETTER THAN HAVING WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING NOW AND OUR COUNCIL PLACE KEEP OUR LITTLE POCKET SEND FOR US.

AT THE CEDAR HILL, SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN GROWTH PLANS, BUT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, THIS SUBDIVISION, ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER, IT REALLY DOESN'T SATISFY ANY OF THOSE PRINCIPLES.

GOOD EVENING.

DONALD MC SHAN, 1837 SOUTH AT DUNCANVILLE ROAD.

THANK YOU, MARY MAYOR, MASON AND CITY COUNCIL FOR LISTENING TO YOUR STAKEHOLDER, UM, NEARBY RESIDENTS, OUR OPINIONS AND VOICES ON THIS MATTER.

UM, WE DO APPRECIATE IT HAVING A VOICE IN THIS DECISION.

UM, I REALIZE THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT SOUNDS AND LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER, ESPECIALLY WITH I WAS OUTSIDE LOOKING

[01:00:01]

IT'S GOING TO BRING IN WHAT, PROBABLY TWO VEHICLES PER HOME POUR 250 HOMES, MORE CARBON DIOXIDE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LESS TREES, LESS NATURAL NATIVE GRASSES AND PLANTS TO ABSORB THAT CARBON DIOXIDE THAT WE'RE BRINGING IN.

AND WE'VE GOT DEVELOPMENTS ALL THE WAY AROUND US.

THEY HAVE WALKABLE SPACE, BUT IT'S WALKING TO NOWHERE.

THERE ARE NO AMENITIES WITHIN THREE MILES, AT LEAST THREE MILES OF THAT DEVELOPMENT.

THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE.

NOW WE HAVE TRADED AMENITIES FOR OUR RULE, A CRINGE AND HOMES, AND THAT'S OKAY WITH US, BUT NOW THAT'S GOING TO BE GONE.

IF WE DO ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT THERE, THAT'S GOING TO BE GONE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S PLANS FOR ANY AMENITIES, STORES, ENTERTAINMENT, RESTAURANTS IN WALKING OR BICYCLING DISTANCE.

THE SAFETY ISSUE ISSUE IS HUGE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK OR BICYCLE ON DUNCANVILLE OR BEAR CREEK ROAD.

THERE WAS A BAR AND A GAS STATION WITHIN THREE MILES.

THERE ARE NO SCHOOLS.

THE ONLY PLACE I CAN SEE TO PUT THOSE THINGS IT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, ON OUR PROPERTY.

THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE NOT DEVELOPED FOR HOMES RIGHT NOW IN THAT THREE MILE RADIUS, WHICH IS KIND OF SCARY TO ME BECAUSE LIKE THE OTHER MEMBERS WHO HAVE TALKED, WE KIND OF PLANNED ON RETIRING THERE AND STAYING THERE.

WE'D BEEN THERE.

WE ONLY BOUGHT FIVE YEARS AGO AND WE RATHER, WE SURE DON'T WANT TO BE LOOKING AT MOVING ALREADY, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IF THE DEVELOPMENTS HAPPENING, YOU'RE GOING TO BE COMING AFTER OUR PROPERTIES NEXT.

AND THAT IS WORRISOME.

UM, THEIR OPEN SPACE THAT THEY TALK ABOUT MOSTLY IS TWO LAGOONS.

THAT WILL BE FENCED OFF BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER LIABILITY ISSUES WITH WATER FEATURES.

THERE'S NO WAY THOSE AREN'T FENCED OFF.

SO THAT'S NOT REAL GREEN SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO WALK AROUND.

LIKE THEY, LIKE IT SAYS IN THE PLAN, THERE REALLY ISN'T ALL THAT MUCH GREEN SPACE THERE.

IT'S MOSTLY GOING TO BE FENCED OFF LAGOONS.

SO WE WILL TRY TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS.

UH, NEXT, UM, CITIZEN IS A TOPIC, HIS FRIENDS, UH, TRY TO SEE THE ANIMAL SHELTER, CATS, COFFEE, DOGS, AND DONUTS.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS MARY WHITE, 1912 VALLEY VIEW DRIVE CEDAR HILL, TEXAS THEY'D HAT I WEAR TONIGHT IS OF THE FRIENDS OF THE TRI-CITY ANIMAL SHELTER.

UM, I JUST WANTED, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, AND YOU'RE LIKE, YOU HAVE ENOUGH THINGS ON YOUR PLATE.

UM, THIS SATURDAY, BEFORE YOU DO NEIGHBORHOOD WALK, WHICH I THINK I HEARD SAID IT STARTS AT 10 30, THE FRIENDS OF THE TRI-STATE ANIMAL SHELTER ARE HAVING A BIT OF A CELEBRATION JUST TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO SUPPORT US.

AND WE'RE AFFECTIONATELY CALLING IT, CATS, COFFEE, DOG, AND DONUTS.

SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY DOGS OR CATS HOME.

AND, BUT WE WILL HAVE COFFEE AND DONUTS AND ORANGE JUICE AND JUST AS A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO COME.

AND, AND ACTUALLY WHAT WE WANT THEM TO DO IS LAST YEAR, YOU REMEMBER IN AUGUST OF 21, WE OPENED A NEW SAVING AND LEARNING CENTER AS WHICH WAS A $500, $500,000 PROJECT THAT THE FRIENDS FUNDED.

AND SO WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO COME AND SEE THAT.

AND TODAY WE HAD GREAT FUN BECAUSE ALLIANCE CLUB CEDAR HILL CAME AND HELPED THEIR LUNCH THERE.

AND SO WE WANT TO SIMPLY INVITE YOU TO THAT.

AND IN FACT, YOU KNOW, SINCE YOU HAVE TO BE SOMEPLACE ELSE AT 10 30, COME, WE'LL OPEN THE DOORS A LITTLE EARLY AND YOU COULD COME AT 9 45, HAVE A DONUT, HAVE SOME COFFEE, KIND OF GET YOUR SUGAR AND YOUR CAFFEINE RUSH.

AND THEN YOU'D BE ALL SET TO WALK REALLY, REALLY GOOD, RIGHT.

TO BE ALL GOOD.

AND THEN ON THE THEME OF OUR DEAR CITY MANAGER, I HAVE JUST A LITTLE SHORT TO SAY THAT, THANK YOU TO, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT GREG DOES THAT YOU DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW THAT HE DOES IS HE FOSTERS DOGS FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER.

AND WE HAVE SOME WONDERFUL PICTURES OF HE AND PAM IS IT'S NOT A SINGULAR THING TO DO TO SHELTER, AN ANIMAL TO FOSTER AN ANIMAL THE BEFORE, AND THEN THE TLC THAT HAPPENS AND THE AFTER, AND THEN

[01:05:01]

HOW GOOD FUN IT IS THAT, UH, IT WAS IN THE, UH, CEDAR HILL, CITY LIFE HIGHLIGHTS THAT COMES OUT WITH OUR WATER BILL I'LL COME IN TIME.

ONE OF THE DOGS THAT WAS A HURRICANE IDA EVACUATE IS NOW THE DOG AT FIRE STATION.

NUMBER ONE.

I MEAN, IF THAT ISN'T DARN SPECIAL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS, SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT OF THE SHELTER.

AND I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO COME SATURDAY.

IN FACT, I HAVE A INVITATION FOR YOU IN CASE YOU DIDN'T GET ONE.

AND THEN I'M ALSO GOING TO GIVE YOU A ONE OF OUR MAGNETS IN CASE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MAGNETS ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR.

AND SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

[f. Consider authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement between the Cedar Hill Police Department and the Texas Police Chiefs Association Foundation for the Texas Best Practices Recognition Program.]

DISCUSSION ITEM F CAUSE THEN AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY HILL POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEF'S ASSOCIATION FOUNDATIONS FOR TEXAS BEST PRACTICES RECOGNITION PROGRAM, UH, COUNCIL MEG, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE KIND OF GO THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS AND WE, UH, KINDA APPROVE THEM ALL IN A, IN A, IN A BIG BLOCK, A LOT OF US ADMINISTRATIVE AND SO FORTH.

BUT I THINK THIS PARTICULAR ITEM HERE, UM, WORDS AT LEAST POURING AND HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION.

I KNOW THE POLICE CHIEF AND A

[01:10:01]

CHIEF CHIEF, UH, UH, REESE, WEREN'T AWARE THAT I WAS GOING TO DO THIS, BUT I'D LIKE TO BRING THE CHIEF DOWN AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS IS, THIS IS A BIG THING.

AND I THINK THE CITIZENS NEED TO KNOW THE TYPE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT WE'VE HAD AND WHAT WE'VE DONE SINCE, UH, YOU KNOW, GETTING THIS WAR BACK IN 2010 FOR THE FIRST TIME AND EVERY YEAR, EVERY FOUR YEARS SINCE THEN CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THIS AWARD.

IT IS NOT EASY TO GET, BUT I TELL YOU, IT REALLY EXEMPLIFIES THE TYPE OF DEPARTMENT WE HAVE.

SO I'D LIKE THE CHIEF TO AT LEAST, UH, ARTICULATE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

UH, NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A LITTLE AGENDA AUTHORIZING THE MATTER EXECUTED IN A LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL AND THE CITY OF DESOTO TO PARTNER AND THE CRISIS ASSESSMENT AND RESOURCE ENGAGEMENT CARE TEAM.

SO TEXAS BEST PRACTICES IS ACTUALLY THE ONLY ACCREDITATION AGENCY OF THE STATE THAT IS RECOGNIZED BY THE STATE LICENSING AGENCY TIKAL AS THE AGENT, THE AGENT TO ACCREDIT POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE STATE.

UM, AND LEGISLATION RECENTLY PASSED THAT IN ORDER FOR A POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY TYPE OF GRANT FUNDING THAT THEY NEED TO BE ACCREDITED.

AND SO TQL, TICO ONLY RECOGNIZES TBP, UH, TEXAS BEST PRACTICES AS THAT STATE ACCREDITING AGENCY, YOU KNOW, AND PART OF THAT ACCREDITATION PROCESS, IT'S AN ONGOING EFFORT.

ALTHOUGH WE GET REACCREDITED EVERY FOUR YEARS, UH, EVERY MONTH THERE ARE CHECKS AND BALANCES IN PLACE THAT WE HAVE TO REPORT TO TBP THAT WE ARE STAYING IN COMPLIANCE AND WE'RE CHECKING THE THINGS THAT THEY SEND US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMPLYING WITH ALL OF THE BEST PRACTICES.

AND THE OTHER THING ABOUT BEING PART OF TBP IS THAT WHEN LEGISLATIVE CHANGES HAPPEN, UM, THAT THEY SEND US THOSE UPDATES AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW WE SHOULD MODIFY OUR POLICIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN LINE WITH THOSE LEGISLATIVE CHANGES.

SO IT MAKES SURE THAT WE'RE ON TOP OF OUR POLICIES TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, BUT IT ALSO MAKES SURE THAT WE HAVE MONTHLY CHECKS AND BALANCES IN PLACE, AND THAT WE'RE SHOWING COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE POLICIES AS WELL.

THANK YOU, CHIEF.

AND IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT, UH, BACK IN 2010, WHEN I FIRST ACHIEVED THIS, UH, RECOGNITION, THERE WERE ONLY 29 OTHER AGENCIES THAT WERE, THAT RECEIVED THAT.

SO IT'S KIND OF GROWN, BUT IF IT'S 166, NOW COMPARE THAT TO HOW MANY AGENCIES ARE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND SO, SO I JUST WANTED TO BE ABLE TO LET THE CITIZENS TO KNOW THAT CHIEF AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT FOR THE CONTINUING SUCCESS.

THANK YOU LIKE A CHIEF.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FOR CHIEF? ALRIGHT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

WE APPROVED THAT FUNDING.

WE DON'T HAVE A MEASURE FOR A POOL, BUT DO WE HAVE A SECOND, SECOND COUNCIL MEMBER GLOVER, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND MOST ANANYMOUS.

THANK YOU, CHIEF.

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT WORK YOU'RE DOING BY THE WAY.

[a. Consider authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Cedar Hill and the City of DeSoto to partner in the Crisis Assessment and Resource Engagement (CARE) Team.]

CHIEF, DO YOU HAVE A UPDATE FOR US ON HIS LEGACY? YEP.

WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF YOUR FEEDBACK THAT YOU PROVIDED AFTER THE PRESENTATION.

MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, AS YOU'LL RECALL, UM, SEVERAL, UH, COUNCIL SESSIONS, UH, PAST, UH, RAVEN THOUSAND FROM THE CITY OF THE SETO CAME AND GAVE A PRESENTATION TO THE COUNCIL ON THE REGIONAL CARE TEAM.

UH, IN 2021, THE CITY OF DESOTA WAS AWARDED A DALLAS COUNTY NEW DIRECTIONS, PUBLIC SAFETY GRANT.

UH, THIS WAS SUBMITTED AS A REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP PROPOSAL FOR THE BEST SOUTHWEST CITIES.

THE FIRST YEAR OF THAT, THE CITY OF DESOTO RAN A PILOT PROGRAM TO DETERMINE WHAT THE BEST NEEDS WOULD BE FOR EACH OF THE PARTNER CITIES.

THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE HAS ALREADY APPROVED THEIR AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE ONE OFFICER AS PART OF THIS TASK FORCE.

UM, THE CARES TEAM'S PRIMARY OBJECTIVES ARE PREVENTION AND POSTVENTION SERVICES.

WHEN IT COMES TO MENTAL HEALTH, THE GRANT WAS CREATED TO ADDRESS THE CRISIS OF CRIMINALIZATION, MENTAL HEALTH, POVERTY, AND HOMELESSNESS BY UTILIZING ALTERNATIVES TO POLICE RESPONSE AND INCARCERATION, TO MORE APPROPRIATELY ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF DALLAS COUNTY RESIDENTS AS BEING PART OF THIS TEAM.

IT REALLY IS A FORCE MULTIPLIER FOR OUR CITY.

UM, WE WILL PROVIDE ONE OFFICER TO THE CARE TEAM, UH, THAT OFFICER'S SALARY AND OVERTIME WILL BE REIMBURSED THROUGH, UH, THE INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SUB, UH, AGREEMENT WITH DALLAS COUNTY THROUGH DESOTO.

UM, IT'S A FORCE MULTIPLIER BECAUSE WE GET THE TEAM AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT, WE ALSO GET THE LICENSED SOCIAL SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED THROUGH PARKLAND WITH THE LICENSED MASTER OR CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER AND THE MEDICAL SUPPORT.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE CO-LOCATED AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, OLD NORTHSIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN DESOTO.

AND AS YOU REMEMBER, WHEN, UH, RAVEN THOUSAND GAVE THE PRESENTATION, THERE WERE A FEW COMMENTS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE DOING, UH, AT THE NINE 11 CALL INTAKE.

AND SO I TOOK THAT FEEDBACK BACK TO DESOTO AND WE HAD SOME LANGUAGE INTEGRATED INTO THE TASK FORCE AGREEMENT.

IF YOU READ THE TASKFORCE AGREEMENT, THE LANGUAGE I HAD THEM ADD SPECIFICALLY SAYS GATHER STATISTICAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE DISPATCH ACTIVITY CALLS FOR SERVICE THAT ARE DRIVEN IN PART BY INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED BY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS, ANALYZE METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING NON-EMERGENCY CALLS, FOR WHICH AN ALTERNATIVE TO POLICE OR FIRE FIRE DISPATCH MAY BE APPROPRIATE.

SO THAT PARAGRAPH

[01:15:01]

UM, AND WITH THAT, UH, YOU HAVE TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA TODAY.

ONE OF THEM IS THE TASK FORCE AGREEMENT.

AND THEN THE SECOND ITEM IS THE, THE SUB-RECIPIENT FOR THE GRANT TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THOSE GRANT FUNDS FROM DESOTO THROUGH DALLAS COUNTY.

WITH THAT, IF YOU HAS ANY QUESTIONS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU SEE? UM, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO HIGHLIGHT, UH, WHAT WE ABOUT TO CONSIDER.

UH, IT IS DEAR TO MY HEART THAT WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE A MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM, SOME SORT OF A MENTAL HEALTH PROCESS.

UH, THIS PROGRAM ACTUALLY WILL HELP US BE ABLE TO GO AND DO THAT AS YOU KNOW, WE DO NINE 11, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE FIRST CALL.

THEY USUALLY OUR CITIZENS, OUR NEIGHBORS USE THE DIAL, UH, BUT AFTER, UH, LAW ENFORCEMENT GOES OUT TO DEESCALATE, UH, THEN WHAT, WHAT'S THE FOLLOWUP? AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT PROCESS.

WELL, THIS PROGRAM WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A FOLLOW-UP PROCESS.

UH, SO CHIEF, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU TAKING, YOU KNOW, THE PRIORITIES WITH THE COUNCIL, UH, ORDER TO TRY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

MY ONLY QUESTION CHIEF IS WHENEVER WE DO GET, UM, YOU KNOW, THE SPOT IT'S A PILOT PROGRAM, HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO RETAIN THIS MOVING FORWARD.

UH, BUT AS THEY REPORT BACK TO US, MY MAIN CONCERN ABOUT THE FOLLOW-UP IS THAT THE FOLLOW-UP DOESN'T TAKE 48 HOURS 72 HOURS.

UH, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN GET SOME SORT OF A REPORT OF HOW QUICK THOSE FOLLOW-UPS ARE WHENEVER THEY COME BACK? SO THE TEAM DOES HAVE METRICS THAT THEY REPORT BACK AS PART OF THE GRANT.

AND SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THOSE METRICS AND WE REPORT THEM TO COUNCIL, UH, THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER PERIODICALLY.

SOUNDS PERFECT.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STEVE? SOUNDS GOOD.

BE CONSIDER AUTHORIZED TO, TO ENABLE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CEDAR HERE AND THE CITY OF DESOTO AS A SOLE RECIPIENT FOR THE NEW DIRECTIONS, PUBLIC SAFETY GRANT.

ALL RIGHT, COUNSEL, THE MOTION, UH, FOR, UH, REBEL AGENDA ITEM EIGHT, MIRA, MAKE A MOTION THAT WE AUTHORIZE YOU TO EXECUTE AN INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL AND THE CITY OF DESOTO TO PARTNER IN THE CRISIS ASSESSMENT AND RESOURCE ENGAGEMENT CARE TEAM.

SECOND CUSTOMER SHOW ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

MOST ANANYMOUS STATE COUNCIL ITEM

[b. Consider authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Cedar Hill and the City of DeSoto as a sub-recipient for the New Directions Public Safety Grant. ]

ARE THERE ANY ITEMS OR CONSIDERATIONS ON THIS COUNCIL? I THINK CHIEF EXPLAINED BOTH ITEMS. SO THEREFORE I ENTERTAIN THE MOTION.

MAY I MOVE THAT? WE, UH, AUTHORIZED THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL, CITY OF DESOTO AS A SUB RECIPIENT FOR NEWS FOR NEW DIRECTION, NEW DIRECTIONS, PUBLIC SAFETY GRANT, BUT YOUR CUSTOMER.

HEY, DO WE HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND CUSTOMER GLOVER OVER ANY, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND MOODY TO THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

UH, GOOD EVENING TODAY, BABY.

HOW ARE YOU, SIR? I AM DOING WELL.

YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR US TODAY.

I DO.

MAYORS COUNCIL AND APPRECIATE EVERYBODY HERE IN US TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR THE WARM WELCOME.

UH, GREG, THANK YOU THIS QUARTER FOR MAKING ME FEEL BAD ABOUT MYSELF, FOR ALL THE THINGS YOU DO FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

UM, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ALSO ADOPT DOGS.

THAT'S AMAZING.

I HAVE TO GO HOME AND DO THAT, UH, OUR DEVELOPMENT DOWN IN CEDAR HILL.

UM, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE PROPER CLICKER ADDISON HILLS.

WE TRY TO MAKE THE ENTRY TO OUR SUBDIVISIONS, JOIN GRACEFULLY AND GENTLY INTO THE CURRENT ROADWAYS.

UH, WE DON'T NECESSARILY ALWAYS HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER THOSE ROADWAYS IN THE IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

I DO KNOW THAT A TRAFFIC STUDY WAS DONE WITH REGARDS TO THE TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD, ON THE MAIN ROAD DUNCANVILLE ROAD AND THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS IN THE CITY LOOKED AT THAT AND DECIDED THAT WE FELL WITHIN THEIR GUIDELINES, OTHER BEING ENOUGH BANDWIDTH WITHIN THOSE ROADS, TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE TRAFFIC COMING OUT OF THAT COMMUNITY.

I ALSO KNOW THAT THE LOOP NINE PROJECT IS COMING IN DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO COORDINATE, TO WORK THOSE THINGS IN.

AND THOSE OBVIOUSLY TAKE TIME OUR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

WHEN WE GET THIS APPROVED AND MOVE FORWARD, THEN IT WILL BE SOMETHING TO WHERE IT COULD BE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE WE ACTUALLY BREAK GROUND ON THE ACTUAL SUBDIVISION ITSELF TO START HAVING HOUSES GO VERTICALLY.

OBVIOUSLY THESE 240 HOMES

[01:20:01]

DON'T GO UP INSTANTLY.

THERE'S A PHASING OF IT.

AND THIS PHASING COULD TAKE FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS FOR IT TO HAPPEN, WHICH WOULD GIVE THE CITY PLENTY OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO MITIGATE ANYTHING OR WORK, TO IMPROVE THOSE TREES, TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC, EVEN THOUGH WE STILL FIT WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF WHAT THE CITY REQUIRES AS FAR AS TRAFFIC IMPACT.

I'M SORRY FOR THE RECORD.

CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS SCOTT? THEY'RE UNDER 3,700 MCKINNEY AVENUE, DALLAS, TEXAS.

AND I'M THE CEO OF OUTLET DEVELOPMENT.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DOG HUNTS.

THANK YOU, ADDISON HILLS, FOR EVERYBODY THAT ISN'T FAMILIAR WITH, IT IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH EAST SIDE OF TOWN, JUST DIRECTLY SOUTH OF BEAR CREEK DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS PART OF THE OVERALL MASTER PLAN THAT THE CITY HAS FOR GROWTH IN THIS AREA.

THE FUTURE OVERLAY PLAN SHOWS THIS AREA IS DESIGNED AND DEDICATED FOR FUTURE USE OF WHAT IS CONSIDERED LIGHT DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL, UM, THAT LIGHT DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL, UH, FALLS.

I BELIEVE THE NUMBERS BETWEEN 2.9 AND SIX HOMES PER ACRE.

WE FALL JUST OVER THREE UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH IS RIGHT THE CENTER IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT THE CITY REQUIRES IT IS ASKING FOR.

YOU CAN SEE HOW WE AFFECT IN, IN INCOME, RIGHT SOUTH OF THE LOOP THERE, THIS AREA IS, IS DEVELOPING AND CHANGING.

AND OUR HEARTS ALWAYS GO OUT TO THE PEOPLE, THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HERE.

WE'RE TRYING TO BECOME NEW MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE JOBS AND PROVIDE GROWTH AND PROVIDE A POSITIVE IMPACT FOR THE COMMUNITY.

BUT THIS LOOP NINE IS COMING IN AND THE AREA IS GOING TO CHANGE.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GROW AND MEET THE CITY GUIDELINES AND THE C'S DESIRES TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

THE SUBDIVISION INITIALLY WHEN WE PROPOSED IT TO THE CITY, UH, MET WITH THE CITY MANAGER, MET WITH THE MAYOR, TALKED ABOUT THE PROJECT, GOT YOUR FEEDBACK ON WHAT YOU GUYS WOULD THOUGHT WOULD BE FANTASTIC FOR THE COMMUNITY.

WE'D LIKE TO, AS WE FIRST TALK ABOUT IT, WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO CREATE OPEN AREAS INSIDE COMMUNITY, THE, THE LAKES AND THE PONDS THAT WE HAVE.

THERE ARE ALREADY NATURAL FEATURES.

WE TRY TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO NOT IMPACT THE COMMUNITY AND IMPACT THE LAND AS MUCH LEAVING AS MANY MATURE TREES AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

LEAVING THE WATER FEATURES AND MAKING THE SUBDIVISION KIND OF MESH AND MOLD WITH THE OVERALL FLOW OF THE CURRENT PROPERTY.

WE CREATED THREE DIFFERENT POCKET PARKS.

ONE OF THE FAR NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, ONE OF THE CENTER WHERE A PLAYGROUND WILL BE.

AND THEN ONE ON THE SOUTH SIDE WHERE THE OTHER POND IS, THESE ARE NOT GATED AREAS.

THESE ARE GROOMED NICELY MANICURED MAINTAINED AREAS FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ENJOY.

WE ALSO, AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND GOT FEEDBACK FROM, UH, PLANNING AND MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORS, WE REALIZED THAT THE NE THE DEVELOPER TO IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH OF US HAD INDICATED TO THOSE HOMEOWNERS THAT THIS LAND WOULD NEVER BE DEVELOPED, WHICH JUST, UNFORTUNATELY, ISN'T TRUE.

AND WE TRIED TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MITIGATE THAT IMPACT THAT WE HAD AGAINST THOSE NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE BEEN PROMISED, SOMETHING THAT WASN'T ABLE TO BE DELIVERED UPON.

SO WHAT WE DID TO TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THAT IS SEVERAL THINGS.

FIRST, WE WIDENED THOSE LOTS TO BE ABLE TO MATCH UP.

SO THERE WAS LIKE CLIMBED PROPERTY PROPERTY LINE, SO THAT THOSE HOUSES COULD BE AS LIGHT KIND AS POSSIBLE.

WE ALSO OFFERED TO INCREASE THAT FENCE SIZE FROM EIGHT FEET, UH, OR EXCUSE ME, FROM SIX FEET TO EIGHT FEET TO HELP FIND SOME ADDITIONAL BUFFER BETWEEN THE TWO NEIGHBORS.

AND WE ALSO OFFERED TO PLANT TREES ALONG THAT PROPERTY LINE TO HELP BALANCE OUT THAT IMPACT ON THOSE NEIGHBORS.

WE MET WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER IMMEDIATELY.

IT HAS A LARGE PARCEL TO THE IMMEDIATELY TO THE LEFT.

HE HAD SOME CONCERN OVER HIS BACKYARD.

SO WE WORKED WITH THEM TO HELP REPLACE CERTAIN TREES, REPLACE SECURITY CAMERAS.

THIS COSTS OVER $10,000 TO HELP DO THAT TOO, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T IMPACT HIM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

WE ALSO MET WITH THE FAMILY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, IN THAT CURRENT BUFFER, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE WAS ORIGINALLY 20 FEET IN HIS CONCERN OF THE CARS WOULD BE COMING DOWN THE STREET.

THOSE HEADLIGHTS WOULD SHINE INTO HIS BACKYARD AND DESTROY HIS PRIVACY.

SO WE AGREED TO DO IS WIDEN THAT BUFFER TO 40 FEET FROM 20 FEET, WHICH WAS AN RE-ENGINEERING REDESIGN.

AND IT IMPACTED THE OVERALL SITE.

WE PUT A THREE-FOOT BUFFER IN THERE.

SO AS CARS COME DOWN THE STREET, THEY NO LONGER CAN SHINE IT TO HIS BACKYARD.

THERE'S A BUFFER THERE.

IF THERE'S TREES, THERE'S SHRUBS ON IT.

SO THAT WAY IT BLOCKS IT.

AND WE ALSO INSTALL THE FENCE DOWN THAT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

HIS SON ALSO HAPPENED TO BE A BUDDING ENGINEER.

SO WE REFERRED HIM OVER AND I BELIEVE HE GOT A JOB AT AN ENGINEERING COMPANY WE WORK WITH.

SO THAT WAS GOOD NEWS AS WELL.

THESE ARE THE PROPERTIES THAT WE INITIALLY HAD COMMITTED TO WIDEN THOSE PROPERTIES, AS WELL AS THAT, MAKING A COMMITMENT THERE WOULD BE A HOUSE BUILT GREATER THAN 2000 SQUARE FEET ON THOSE PARCELS THAT WERE IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE NEIGHBORS INITIALLY THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AND WHAT THEY MOVE FORWARD IN P AND Z WAS TO HAVE A MIX OF LOTS.

WE HEARD BACK FROM COUNCIL IN THE LAST TIME THAT WE WERE HERE, THAT I BELIEVE THE QUOTE WAS THAT DOG WON'T HUNT.

[01:25:01]

SO, UH, WE'VE AGREED TO DO THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION AS A MINIMUM OF 2000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

SO THAT WAY, HOPEFULLY THE IMPRESSION THERE IS THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO, TO RAISE THE VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY AND PUT IN WORTHWHILE HOMES FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ENJOY.

SO SOME OF THE FEATURES THROUGHOUT THE SUBDIVISION, I WON'T BORE YOU WITH EVERY SINGLE LITTLE CELL NUMBER THERE AND ALL THE DETAILS OF IT.

BUT WE DO HAVE A PLAYGROUND DESIGNATED AT THE CENTER OF THE PROPERTY.

OUR GOAL HERE WAS TO REALLY HAVE SEVERAL POCKET PARKS THAT COULD CONNECT ONE SIDE OF THE COMMUNITY TO THE OTHER.

AND AS SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE MADE THE COMMENT THAT IT'S A JOGGING PATH TO NOWHERE, BUT THIS ACTUALLY CONNECTS TO THE CITY JOGGING PLAN.

OUR, OUR PATH GOES FROM EIGHT FEET TO 10 FEET AT THE END, AT THE INTEREST OF THE SUBDIVISION TO CONNECT TO THAT.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN CONTINUE ON THROUGH THE JOGGING PLAN.

WE PUT THE POCKET PARK AT THE CENTER, SO THAT WAY EVERYBODY WITH PLAYGROUNDS, SO ALL THE FAMILIES COULD GO THERE AND ACTUALLY USE THAT POCKET PARK.

WE'VE ALSO GOT PLANNED ON THE NORTH EAST SIDE TO PUT A PAVILION AREA.

SO FAMILIES CAN HOLD BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND BARBECUES AND DO THINGS FOR FAMILY EVENTS, PUT IN A BARBECUE AREA.

UH, THE FUTURE, YOU SEE THE WATER FEATURE THERE WITH THE AIR RATED FOUNTAINS.

SO THIS IS A STAGNANT WATER.

THIS IS ACTUALLY AN AERATED, UH, LANDSCAPE POND AREA.

THAT WILL BE, IN MY OPINION, IS IT LOOKS LIKE A GOLF COURSE LOOKS QUITE ATTRACTIVE.

WE ALSO HAVE INTERMITTENT LANDSCAPING ALL THROUGHOUT THAT JOGGING PATH WITH PARK BENCHES, WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL DOG STATIONS WHERE DOGS CAN DRINK WATER AND HAVE DOGGY BAGS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE IS TRASH CANS.

SO THAT WAY THE NEIGHBORS CAN HELP KEEP THE COMMUNITY CLEAN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ELEVATIONS.

AS I READ THROUGH IT, ONE OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT FROM STAFF AS WELL, UM, WAS THAT WE WANT, THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW THESE HOMES COMPARE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF HOMES AND OTHER AREAS.

AND HONESTLY, AS I WENT THROUGH IN CANBERRA, COMPARED SOME OF THESE OTHER SUBDIVISIONS THROUGHOUT FRISCO AND FORNEY AND OTHER AREAS THROUGHOUT DALLAS, FORT WORTH, THESE HOUSES ARE NICER.

THEY'RE THERE ARE NICER ELEVATIONS, THEY HAVE MORE DETAILS.

THEY HAVE MORE STONE, THEY HAVE MORE ELEMENT FEATURES.

WE WENT TO THE BUILDERS AND SAID, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT DOING SOME HARDY STYLE HOUSES OR COTTAGE STYLE HOUSES WITH MORE FARMHOUSE LOOKS? AND THE CHALLENGE WITH THOSE IS THAT THE FLOOR PLANS THAT MOST OF THE BUILDERS HAVE FOR THAT ARE TYPICALLY NARROWER, WHICH FIT ON SMALLER LOTS.

AND HERE WE HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE WE WANT THE LOSS TO BE BIGGER THAN THE HOUSE HAS TO BE BIGGER.

THERE'S SMALLER HOUSES, SUB 2000 FEET.

WE SAID WE CAN'T DO STUFF TOO FAST AND FEET.

THEY ALSO INDICATED TO US THAT THE HARDIE SIDING IS A TREMENDOUS WARRANTY ISSUE FOR THEM BECAUSE IT ONLY LASTS ABOUT 10 YEARS BEFORE IT STARTS TO MOVE FALL APART.

IT STARTS TO DECAY AND NEEDS TO BE PAINTED.

SO IT ACTUALLY, AFTER 10 YEARS, THE NEIGHBORHOOD WON'T FEEL THE SAME.

THE STONE AND THE BRICK IS A HIGHER QUALITY.

AND THE HARDIE SIDING WILL START TO LOOK WORN OUT AND NEIGHBORHOOD LOCAL TIRE LOOK, BOOKS WILL LOOK TIRED INDICATE.

SO JUST A LITTLE FEEDBACK ABOUT THAT.

THE SUBDIVISION HOUSE, THE PRICE RANGES, SINGLE FAMILY HOME, SINGLE STORY HOMES RANGING FROM 350,000 TO 390,000 RANGE.

THE LARGER TWO-STORY ONES, LOW FOUR HUNDREDS TO LOW TO MID FOUR HUNDREDS.

SO THESE AREN'T JUST, YOU KNOW, BUILD THEM FOR A RENT CHEAP HOUSES.

THESE ARE GOOD QUALITY HOMES THAT WE'LL BE PUTTING IN THE COMMUNITY LITTLE FEATURES ON THE INSIDE.

I GRABBED SOME ELEVATIONS AS WHAT'S TYPICAL OF WHAT GOES INTO A QUALITY OF HOME OF THE SIZE AND STYLE.

THEY HAVE A DARK INTERIOR AND THE LIGHTER INTERIOR, UH, QUITE TRENDY, MODERN AND DOES VERY, VERY WELL.

I KNOW WE CAN'T MANDATE WHAT SOMEONE PUTS IN THEIR HOME AND HOW THEY MAINTAIN IT OVER TIME.

YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES.

THEY WANT TO PAINT THE WALLS PURPLE AND PUT ZEBRA COUNTERTOPS DOWN.

WE CAN'T CONTROL THAT, OR DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT.

WE CAN ONLY CONTROL THE, THE, UH, THE EXTERIOR, BUT I THOUGHT IT SHOWS SOME EXAMPLES OF INTERIORS.

AND THAT'S IT.

I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL.

I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM, UH, THE COUNCIL? I'M SORRY, CUSTOMER HATE.

SIZES, 6,000 SQUARE FEET IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA? I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT LAW SIZES FOR BEAR CREEK.

SO BASED ON, ON THE SLIDE THAT YOU SHOWED THAT WE HAD A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE FOR, FOR 2000 18, 14, 40, OR WHATEVER.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S CHANGED, THAT'S TALKING ABOUT MINIMUM OF 2000 SQUARE FEET.

SO YOU DID COME BACK AND LISTEN TO WHAT OUR CONCERNS WERE AND, AND OTHER PAPERS AREN'T, UH, I DIDN'T NOTE THAT IN THE INFORMATION OTHER THAN WHAT YOU JUST SAID NOW.

SO, SO I'M, I'M, I'M, UH, GLAD THAT YOU RESPONDED IN THAT PARTICULAR CATEGORY, UH, GOVER UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, UM, OF THE CHANGES THAT YOU'VE DONE, THE 6,000 SQUARE FEET FOR 43% OF LOTS REMAINS THE SAME.

AND BASED ON YOUR RESEARCH, HOW DOES THAT COMPARE WITH BUILDERS IN THE AREA? ARE THERE OTHER BUILDERS BUILDING LOT

[01:30:01]

IT IS A VERY, IN MOST SUBDIVISIONS THAT WE SEE ACROSS THE METROPLEX AND ACROSS THE STATE, THE SMALLER LOSS SIZE OF THE 50 BY ONE 20 TO 60 BY ONE TWENTIES, WHICH WAS THAT 6,000 TO 7,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT IS THE NEW STANDARD.

THE 14 TO 20,000 SQUARE FOOT, LOTS PEOPLE JUST DON'T.

THEY DON'T WANT TO MAINTAIN THE YARDS.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S POPULAR, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S NOT BUILT IN AS MUCH.

AND TYPICALLY WITH THAT NEW DYNAMIC OF HOMEOWNERS ARE THE HOMES THIS VALUE, OR ARE THEY HIGHER VALUE FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN? THE SMALLER LOT SIZES COME WITH HOMES THAT ARE HIGHER, HIGHER VALUE, HIGHER PURCHASE PRICE.

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IF YOU TAKE A INFILL PIECE AND PRISCO, LET'S SAY THAT LAND COST TODAY COULD BE 300,000 AN ACRE.

SO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO IS PRESENT A PD LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING AS SMALL AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO GET REALLY TIGHT, NARROW, LOTS THAT COULD PUSH BECAUSE OF THE LAND BASIS THAT COULD PUSH THE PRICE OF THE HOME INTO THE SEVEN TO $800,000 RANGE.

SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE ECONOMICS OF THE DIRT BELOW IT.

AND WHAT GOES INTO IT, YOU KNOW, AS YOU MOVE OUT, EXCUSE ME INTO AREAS.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU GET AN HOUR OUT OF THE CITY, PER SE, THAT PER ACRE PRICE MIGHT BE 30,000 AN ACRE, AND YOU CAN GET THE REVERSE HAPPENING TO THAT, WHERE YOU CAN GET A LOWER PRICE HOME ON A LITTLE BIT MORE DIRT.

IT'S JUST FROM SOME INFORMATION THAT I HAVE RECEIVED, THIS WOULD BE THE ONLY DEVELOPMENT SOUTH OF 20 WITH LOT SIZES FOR 6,000 MIDLOTHIAN, MANSFIELD WALKS A HAS YOUR OWN MINIMUM 7,000 IN THEIR BASE ZONING CODE.

AND JERRY, YOU WOULD KNOW THIS BETTER THAN I DO BECAUSE YOU DO THIS EVERYDAY IN OTHER AREAS, BUT WE SEE PDS ALL THE TIME THAT KIND OF THE STANDARD GOING IN NOW IS THAT 5,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT.

THAT'S WHERE ALL OF THE HOME BUILDERS ARE FOR.

THEN IT GOES TO SIX AND 70 TWOS, THEN 80 FIVES.

SO THIS IS KIND OF, IT'S A COMMON THING TO HAPPEN ALL ACROSS BELOW 20.

CAUSE WE DO PROJECTS FROM FAR SIDE OF FORT WORTH ALL THE WAY OUT TO TYLER AND THAT 6,000 SQUARE FOOT IS PRETTY MUCH THE BREAD AND BUTTER OF WHAT EVERYBODY'S PUTTING IN.

MAY I PRETEND, THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION AND, UH, THE MODIFICATIONS THAT YOU MADE SO FAR.

SO WE'RE GOING THROUGH A PROCESS WITH THE COMPLAINT AND, UM, PART OF IT, THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION ABOUT RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS AND THE DESIRE FOR HIGHER AMENITIES.

AND, UM, PART OF THAT DISCUSSION TO GET TO THE HIGHER AMENITIES WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL DENSITY.

AND I'VE BEEN VERY CLEAR TO THE COUNCIL IN SUPPORT OF HIGHER DENSITIES TO GET TO THE HIGHER AMENITIES.

MY STRUGGLE IS THAT RIGHT NOW, THE AVERAGE IN CEDAR HILL OF A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION AVERAGE LOT IS ABOUT 10,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND I'M OKAY WITH THE HIGHER DENSITIES, BUT, UM, I'M FEEL LIKE I'M MOVING TWO SPACES FROM 10,000 TO THE 7,000 TO 6,000.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M STRUGGLING.

I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE COMP PLAN AND THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT HAVING, UM, HIGHER AMENITIES.

AND IT'S, IT'S, UH, IT'S, IT'S KINDA NEAT TO HAVE HIGHER DENSITIES, BUT I'M STRUGGLING WITH GOING FROM 10 TO 6 CENTS.

THAT'S MY STRUGGLING.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I KNOW THAT A VERY POPULAR SUBDIVISION WE HAVE IS THE FOUNTAINS IN IT.

I THINK IT'S, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, IT'S ABOUT 7,000.

AND SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT, I MEAN, IT'S NOT MUCH, BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MOVING FROM SIX TO SEVEN, BUT I'M STRUGGLING WITH GOING FROM 10 TO SIX.

I MEAN, WE'VE ALREADY SEEN SEVEN, UH, THE FOUNTAINS AND BY THE WAY, SOME PEOPLE COMPLAIN AND SAID, THIS IS GOING TO LOWER THE PROPERTY VALUES.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY AT THE FOUNTAINS AND LAKE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SHOP, THE PROPERTY VALUES OF THE FOUNTAINS.

I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYBODY COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PROPERTY VALUES OF THE FOUNTAINS AND THEY'RE AT 7,000 SQUARE FEET.

BUT TELL ME HOW THE POSSIBILITY OF, OR HOW DO YOU, WHAT DO YOU SAY TO ME GOING, SUPPORTING HIGHER DENSITIES, BUT HAVING TO GO FROM 10 TO SIX? UM, I THINK I'M, I THINK I MET SEVEN, BUT WELL, THEY PUSHED ME TO THAT'S.

AND SO HALF THE LOTS ARE A PORTION.

I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER IF WE GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT, I THINK 40 TO 50, THERE'S 50 BY ONE TWENTIES, WHICH ARE SIXES.

AND THEN WE HAVE 60 BY ONE 20, WHICH ARE 7,200.

BUT WHAT I REMEMBER SEEING IN THE INFORMATION WAS ABOUT 43% OF THEM WERE 6,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND THEN WE HAVE A SMALL PORTION ALONG THAT NORTHERN BOUNDARY WHERE WE WIDENED IT THAT ARE 70 BY ONE TWENTIES.

[01:35:01]

AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M STRUGGLING WITH GOING FROM THE AVERAGE IN CEDAR RIGHT NOW AT 10,000 BRETT.

AND I, I THINK I MET, UM, I'M WILLING TO, AND I'VE EXPRESSED TO THE COUNCIL IN SUPPORT OF THE COMP PLAN, HIGHER DENSITIES.

BUT, UM, UM, IN MY MIND, I'M WILLING TO GO FROM 10 TO SEVEN, THIS, THIS SIX 43% OF IT BEING A 6,000.

THAT'S WHAT I'M STRUGGLING WITH.

WE HAVE 106 LOTS THAT ARE 50 BY ONE 20 WHERE YOU HAVE 128 LOCKS.

SO IS THAT 22 MORE? THAT ARE 60 BY 1, 20, 7200 SQUARE FEET.

AND THEN WE HAVE 12 LOTS SITES, WHICH AS LONG THAT'S THAT NORTHERN SIDE THAT ARE 80 BY ONE 20 AND THAT'S 9,600 FEET.

SO IF YOU TAKE A BLENDED AVERAGE OF, OF ALL OF THOSE PUT TOGETHER, YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN THE HIGH SIXES AS FAR AS AN AVERAGE SIZE FOR EACH LOT IN THE AREA.

IF THERE'S ANOTHER, IF WE COULD PUT ANOTHER PLAYGROUND AND I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PUT ANOTHER PLAYGROUND IN, THERE'S JUST A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MENTEES.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LOTS ARE AT THE FOUNTAIN, BUT A LOT OF TIMES YOU, YOU HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF COSTS THAT YOU CAN BEAR TO DEVELOP A PROJECT BEFORE IT JUST BECOMES THERE'S ZERO PROFIT IN IT BECAUSE YOU PUT EVERYTHING BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY.

AND THE IDEA WITH THE PD IS THAT YOU DO GET REALLY, REALLY HIGH DENSITIES.

AND OUR AVERAGE OF THE HOME SIZE THAT WE HAVE A MINIMUM OF 2000 SQUARE FEET IS LARGER IN SQUARE FOOTAGE THAN THE MINIMUM STANDARD ZONING AND CEDAR HILL.

SO WE ARE A LITTLE BIT LARGER HOUSE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A BUNCH OF SMALLER LOSS, WE DIDN'T, WE GAVE UP ALL THE FOURTEENS AND THE SMALLER ONES THAT ARE HONESTLY A LITTLE BIT MORE PROFITABLE.

WE HAVE TO PUSH THOSE COSTS UP A LITTLE BIT.

SO THERE'S JUST ONLY SO MUCH COST TO PROJECT AND BARE BEFORE IT'S JUST NOT PROFITABLE ANYMORE.

SO THERE'S JUST, I, I DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LAWS ARE AT THE FOUNTAIN? UH, HOW BIG OF THAT IS ABOUT 80 AND, AND THEY HA WHAT OTHER AMENITIES DO THEY HAVE? UH, UM, I KNOW, UM, I'M LOOKING AT ADDISON HILL RIGHT NOW.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE TOPICS IF GATED AND YEAH, IT'S GATED.

IT HAS, HAS A LARGE POND, UH, HAS A FOUNTAIN OUT IN FRONT AND IT HAS ACCESS TO A LARGER HOA AND THE AMENITIES OF THAT HOA.

SO THERE'S A, THERE'S A, UH, AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF CITY PARKS THAT ARE CLOSE BY THERE'S WALKING TRAILS THAT ARE RIGHT THERE.

UM, THERE'S A POA CLUBHOUSE, UH, FOR, FOR EVENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THEY HAVE ACCESS TO A NUMBER OF THINGS, BUT THE FA CAUSE THE FOUNTAINS IS PART OF A LARGER COMMUNITY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COUNTS? W R ONE LAST QUESTION.

SO WHAT I'M HEARING YOU SAYING THAT YOU'RE, YOU HAVE INABILITY TO SHIFT ANY OF THOSE SIX THOUSANDS TO, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? OKAY.

IT'S A MOVING TARGET.

AS FAR AS WHAT PERCENTAGE ARE ACTUALLY WOULD WORK.

WE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT SPACE PLANNING AND MAYBE A DICE, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT GETS TO A CERTAIN PLACE WHERE IT DOES BY ADDING MORE AMENITIES.

IT JUST WE'RE, WE'RE GIVING UP LOTS AND ADDING MORE COSTS.

AND IT JUST, THERE'S A POINT, THERE'S A TIPPING POINT WHERE THE PROJECT IS ISN'T FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE ANYMORE.

THAT'S MY, THIS, THIS COMFORT, THE VOLUME OF IT.

SO MANY, UH, 6,000.

UM, SCOTT, UM, HANG WITH ME FOR A SECOND.

UM, THERE WAS SOME PERSONS DOING CITIZENS FORM.

I LIKE TO KIND OF ADDRESS, BUT IF YOU COULD JUST REMAIN RIGHT THERE, THEN I CAN LIKE TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS.

SURE.

UM, I'M JUST GOING TO GO DOWN THE LIST.

IT'S NOT IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER, BUT, UH, I BELIEVE THERE WAS ONE CITIZEN MENTIONED ABOUT, UM, CONCERN OF SAFETY.

UM, FIRST LET ME BEGIN WITH THIS, UM, ADDISON HEELS AND STONE HILL, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF BEING SCARF FIVE RIGHT NOW, UH, IS PROBABLY THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN CEDAR HILL FOR ABOUT 12, 13 YEARS.

IN SOME APPLICATIONS, IF, IF THE CITY DOESN'T RESPOND IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, THERE'S A CLOCK.

WANT TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE YOU KNOW, CHANGE IS HARD, NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH, RIGHT.

CHANGE IS HARD.

YOU GET COMFORTABLE, YOU KNOW, LIVING RESIDING YOUR LIFESTYLE.

NO, YOU SEE A CHANGE, YOU GOTTA ADJUST TO IT.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE JUST MORE COMFORTABLE JUST, JUST, JUST, JUST BEING, YOU KNOW, UH, AS YOU ARE.

BUT THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ALL ARE KIND OF DEALING WITH, YOU KNOW, THE CITY, EVEN THE CITY, EVEN THE CITY IS DEALING WITH NEW LAWS THAT IS COMING DOWN FROM THE STATE ABOUT HOW LONG WE CAN BE ABLE TO HAVE A DEVELOPER TO COME BEFORE CITY COUNCIL, IF THE COUNCIL DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE, NOT, NOT IN THIS CASE, BUT

[01:40:01]

AND IF THAT CLOCK IS NOT REACHED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF JUST BEING WHATEVER HE WANTS TO BUILD, THOSE ARE THE KIND OF CONSTRAINTS THAT THE CITY HAS WITH THE STATE.

AND THIS HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR THE PAST TWO SESSIONS.

UM, SO I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF PUT THAT OUT THERE.

WE ACTUALLY DINNER WITH A DEVELOPER WHO'S COMES NOW STONE HEALS.

HE HAD TO, THEY HAD TO COMPLY WITH OUR OLD COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY PURCHASED THAT LAND AND ALREADY HAD APPROVAL FROM CITY COUNCIL.

THEY JUST DIDN'T BUILD IT BECAUSE OF THE MARKET, THIS CASE.

UH, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PLAN THAT WE ARE ABOUT TO ADOPT, AND THIS DEVELOPER IS COMING BEFORE US NOW TO ACTUALLY PUT IN WHAT IS DUE TO BE PROPOSED TO THE COUNCIL HERE WITHIN THE NEXT, NO, I DON'T KNOW, A COUPLE OF WEEKS A MONTH.

THE FACT THAT IN 2017, I'M KIND OF JUMPING AROUND.

I HOPE YOU CAN FOLLOW THE TIMELINE.

2017 COUNCIL.

WE HAD A BOND THAT WAS A PRO BY THE CITIZENS WITHIN THAT BOND.

UPROAR WAS SAFETY.

UH, PRIORITIES WAS FOR US TO ENHANCE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, BY ENHANCING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

UH, WE FOCUSED ON OUR PARKS, BUT THE LAST TWO PARTS THAT, UM, THAT, UM, WE ACTUALLY ACTUALLY BEAR CREEK IS ACTUALLY COMING UP.

WE ACTUALLY HAD PUBLIC INPUT FROM, FROM BEAR CREEK BEAR CREEK.

UH, THE CITIZENS SAID THAT THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO PUT, I BELIEVE A PICKLEBALL COURT, WHICH I DON'T THINK I PLAYED PICKUP ALL IN MY LIFE, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY AGREED ON.

UM, AND A FEW OTHER AMENITIES, UH, THING, WINDSOR PARK AS FOR, UH, SOME PARK BENCH AND A PAVILION.

THOSE ARE CITY PARKS AND CITY AMENITIES THAT THE CITY HAS PUT IN PLACE.

ON BEHALF OF A BOND.

THIS DEVELOPER IS COMING TO US RIGHT NOW SAYING WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN A SIDEWALK.

THAT'S EIGHT THAT'S, 8, 8, 10 FEET, 10 FEET WIDE, EIGHT P AND TEMPE EIGHT AND 10 FEET WIDE.

UH, WE'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IN A, A PARK.

THEY ALSO GONNA PUT IN A PAVILION AND THEY ALSO GONNA PUT IN SEVERAL PARK BENCHES THROUGHOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT, ALONG WITH NATURAL AMENITIES, I BELIEVE THEY HAVE TWO PONDS, OR WE PUT THE SPRINKLER HEADS IN THE PONDS ALONG WITH SPRINKLER HEADS IN THE POND.

NOW, AGAIN, WE JUST HAD A 2017 BOND AND THAT CAME FROM, YOU KNOW, TAXPAYERS, THIS DEVELOPMENT HE'S ASKING TO GO AHEAD AND PUT IT IN AS PART OF OUR NEW STANDARD OF OUR PROPOSED COMP PLAN CAPA.

AND HASN'T BEEN ADOPTED YET.

THIS DEVELOPER IS SAYING, HEY, WE CAN MEET YOUR NEW STANDARDS, UM, THAT YOU, THAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO ADOPT AND PUT THAT IN PLACE.

SO COUNCIL ASKED ME TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ASKING FOR MORE AMENITIES, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ACTUALLY TAKING, YOU KNOW, NOT SIDES AS A WAY IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PUT AMENITIES IN BASED UPON OUR NEW STANDARDS THAT WE ABOUT TO ADOPT.

KIND OF JUST WANT TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE.

UM, THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY AND MY UNDERSTANDING, UM, AND I DON'T MEAN TO CALL YOU OUT SAM, ABOUT, I WROTE NOTES, MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOUR SAFETY IS NOT ABOUT THIS, UH, PROSPECTIVE DEVELOPMENT, BUT ABOUT THE REGION OF, UH, HOW THIS PROPERTY CAN BE ABLE TO AFFECT THAT.

UH, I DID HEAR FROM YOU THAT TYPICALLY WHEN A NEW SUBDIVISION GOES IN, IT MAY TAKE FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS FOR IT TO BE FULLY DEVELOPED.

UM, I ANTICIPATE THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO FROM OUR ENGINEERING TEAM, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE, UM, JUST HOW, JUST HOW HILL WORKS.

THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE, UH, STUDIES, UH, FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING, ANY TREND ANALYSIS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS, YOU KNOW, ANY IMPACTS FOR SAFETY.

THAT'S JUST WHAT WE TYPICALLY STANDARD DO.

UM, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE CITY, UH, EVERY YEAR WE DO, WHAT'S CALLED, I GUESS I CALL FOR PROJECTS, UH, TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY AREAS OF THE NEEDS FOR IMPROVEMENT, BUT IT HAS TO, IT HAS TO HAVE THE CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RATIO IN ORDER FOR US TO IMPROVE IT.

WE JUST, CAN'T SAY, WE KNOW THAT THIS PROJECT IS COMING IN ABOUT FIVE TO 10 YEARS AND BUILD IT.

NOW, THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, TO BE RESPONSIBLE WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS, WE JUST CAN'T GO THAT FAR IN ADVANCE AHEAD.

I THINK THAT ADDRESSES SOME INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, THAT A CITIZEN HAD BROUGHT UP AS, AS A RESULTS TO REZONING THE RR.

UH, AGAIN, THERE ARE SOME LAWS THAT THE CITY THAT WE ARE ARE BOUNDED FROM, UM, IF A CITIZEN HAS A PIECE OF PROPERTY IS ZONED RURAL RESIDENTIAL, AND HE WANTS, AND HE WANTS TO CHANGE IT TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

UH, THAT'S KIND OF THE STANDARD OF HOW THIS PROCESS WORKS.

UM, BUT IF IT WAS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.

SO THE GUYS WHO WANT TO CHANGE IT TO, TO RETAIL, TO, UM, YOU KNOW, TO, TO A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S TYPICALLY NOT A STANDARD PIECE.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL COULD PROBABLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE, YOU KNOW, UH, YOU KNOW, PUSHBACK, IF A DEVELOPER HAS SOMETHING TO DO THAT.

BUT SINCE THEN, IT'S KIND OF STANDARD ACROSS THE STATE

[01:45:01]

OF TEXAS.

IF YOU HAVE A RURAL RESIDENTIAL AND THE OWNER WANTS TO YOU CHANGE IT TO A PD, THAT'S KIND OF THE STANDARD, YOU KNOW, PROCESS.

SO IT'S NOT THE CITY ASKING FOR A DEVELOPER TO COME TO CEDAR HILL.

WE DON'T, WE DON'T GO OUT TO DEVELOPERS, ASK THEM TO BE ABLE TO BUILD ROOFTOPS, BUT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ACTUALLY CAN, UH, PURSUE OTHER DEVELOPERS TO BE ABLE TO COME INTO THEIR PROPERTY.

AND THEREFORE THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SO WE CAN TRY TO PUT SOME RULES AND LAWS IN PLACE INSTEAD OF THEM JUST COMING IN, JUST BUILDING WHATEVER THEY WANT AND JUST GETTING OUT OF HERE.

SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, AS IT RELATES TO THE 6,007,000 SQUARE FOOT? LOTS, I GUESS ON AVERAGE, YOU KNOW, ON AVERAGE, IF YOU JUST DO AN AVERAGE OF THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAN, I'VE GUESSED, THE AVERAGE WOULD BE ABOUT 7,000 SQUARE FEET, RIGHT.

UM, YOU KNOW, SO, UH, LOTS, UM, MAYBE ABOUT 200, 300 TO 200 TO 300 OFF FROM 7,000 SQUARE FEET.

SO, UH, JUST WANT COUNCIL TO KIND OF PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE.

UM, AND I GUESS THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE, UM, SAYING THAT WE WILL HAVE, YOU KNOW, MORE VEHICLES, YOU KNOW, COMING INTO THIS AREA.

UM, THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL KIND OF DO A FOCUS ON, YOU KNOW, OPEN SPACE AND, AND, UM, AND, AND GREEN SPACE, UH, THAT'S PART OF OUR NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY.

UH, WE KIND OF HAVE A LAW TO BE ABLE TO RETAIN THAT.

ASSUMING FOR EXAMPLE, HOW I KNOW ABOUT 60, 50, 60, 70 YEARS, IF CEDAR HILL IS BUILT OUT, UH, WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILT OUT WITH ABOUT 20, 25% OF OPEN SPACE GREEN SPACE.

THAT'S HOW WE ACTUALLY BUILT, YOU KNOW, CEDAR HILL TO STILL KIND OF MAINTAIN, YOU KNOW, OUR OPEN SPACE, GREEN SPACE.

UM, SO THOSE ARE KIND OF SOME QUESTIONS THAT, UM, THAT I WANT TO ADDRESS, UM, FROM THE CITIZENS.

AND, UM, MY QUESTION TO YOU, UH, SCOTT, UM, IS, UH, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, LET ME ASK THE QUESTION.

I DON'T WANNA LEAD YOU.

UH, DO YOU HAVE A BUILDER PROPOSED FOR THIS PROJECT YET? WE HAVE SEVERAL BUILDERS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THE PROJECT.

THE FEEDBACK WE'VE GOT FROM BUILDERS IS THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO COMMIT TO US, AND I DON'T MEAN THIS IN A BAD WAY IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM, BUT THEIR IMPRESSION IS THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO GET COMMITTED FINANCIALLY TO A PROJECT UNTIL CEDAR HILL IS WILLING TO SIGN OFF ON HIS OWN CHANGE, BECAUSE MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL LOOKING AT THIS MARKET IN THE PAST.

FAIR ENOUGH.

UH, I KNOW WE KIND OF EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS, SO I'M NOT REALLY ASKING FOR A COMMITMENT, HOWEVER, UH, IF WE ARE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT, I STILL WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME RAIN ABOUT WHICH DEVELOPER IS GOING TO BE, UH, WHICH, UH, BUILDER'S GOING TO BE BUILDING ON THIS PROCESS.

SO IF I WAS TO BE ABLE TO INCLUDE IN THE MOTION THAT STAFF WOULD HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON THIS BUILDER, UH, YOU KNOW, HOW, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? WHAT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO, UM, I'M THINKING THROUGH THE GUIDELINES THAT GOVERNANCE THAT I HAVE IN MY POSITION TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I DON'T THINK THAT I THINK THAT'D BE VIOLATING SOME OF OUR INTERNAL COMPETENCE IF I DID THAT.

UM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE, WE ONLY DEAL WITH LARGE PUBLICLY TRADED BUILDERS.

SO IT WILL BE ONE OF THE MAJOR BUILDERS FROM THE AREA.

UM, BUT I CAN'T GIVE YOU AN EXACT ONE TO BE COMMITTED TO THAT, CAUSE THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY FINANCIALLY HURT OUR INVESTORS AND OUR COMPANY.

IF WE WERE TO GO WITH ONE, THE CITY APPROVED, UM, UH, VERSUS THE ONE THAT WAS THE BEST BUILDER FOR THE PRICE, MY, MY, MY CONCERN WOULD BE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE A LOW GRADE BUILDING.

I KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS ARE GOOD.

UM, BUT I JUST WANT TO STILL BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME POWER ABOUT WHO'S GOING TO BE BUILDING, YOU KNOW, UH, YOU KNOW, WHO'S GOING TO BE, SINCE I WAS SLIGHTLY, I HAD SOME TYPE OF THING.

SO I GUESS, UH, AND, AND I COULD BARELY SAY, I COULD VERY WELL SAY PRENUP BEFORE COUNCIL, BUT I'D RATHER STEAL.

I'D LIKE TO KIND OF HAVE THIS MORE ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL.

SO I JUST WANT THEM TO KIND OF BE INVOLVED AND KIND OF GIVE, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHAT OF A BLESSING TO BE ABLE TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST MEET THE STANDARDS, UH, YOU KNOW, OF, OF WHAT WE SAID, YOU KNOW, COMING FROM, AND AGAIN, THIS IS, THIS IS A NEW COUPLE OF, TO PLAY IN THE STANDARD.

YOU KIND OF SET THE STAGE FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO COME BEHIND YOU.

SO I KIND OF WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KIND OF DO IT SOME CLOSE.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS MOVING FORWARD.

BUT, UH, I MEAN, I KINDA JUST WANT TO SET THE BAR AS HIGH AS WE COULD AS WELL, USING EDISON TO USE THE PD SETS THE STANDARDS FOR THE BUILDING, THE SPECS THAT WE HAVE.

UM, WE'VE, WE'VE IDENTIFIED SHORTLIST SOME OF THE LARGEST BUILDERS THAT BUILD OUR PROJECT.

IT WON'T BE A FLY BY NIGHT ORGANIZATION.

IT WILL BE A SOUND COMPANY.

UM, 99% OF OUR PROJECTS THAT WE DO GO TO A LARGE NATIONAL BUILDER.

SO IT WILL BE SOME, IT'D BE FINANCIALLY STRONG.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO BE THERE TO UP THE PROJECT FOR THE NEXT 20 TO 30 YEARS.

SO I DON'T THINK THAT THE STAFF WOULD NEED TO WORRY ABOUT US BRINGING IN SOME SHADY BUILDER, THAT'S GOING TO HURT THE COMMUNITY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

GOOD.

UH, AND AGAIN, I THINK YOUR TEACHES

[01:50:01]

A GOOD, BUT JUST BEFORE YOU SIGN OFF ON THE BUILDER, CAN WE JUST COMMUNICATE WITH STAFF? I CAN DEFINITELY COMMUNICATE TO THE STAFF WHO, WHO THAT IS.

I JUST, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GO AGAINST WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COMPANY AND HURT THE COMPANY.

I WOULD GET FIRED FOR DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU FOR BEING OPEN ON THAT.

UM, UH, CUSTOMER HAYDEN, YOU HAVE A QUESTION AND I ALREADY CALLED ON YOU.

I, UH, OF COURSE YOU ARTICULATED, UM, SOME OF MY COMMENTS VERY WELL WITH REGARDS TO THE AMENITIES IN THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW, I'VE, I'VE, YOU KNOW, IT'S CHALLENGING TO TRY TO BE ABLE TO BALANCE THE PROPER GROWTH.

YOU KNOW, CITIES ARE GOING TO GROW.

WE'VE SEEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

IN FACT, THE BEAR CREEK RASH, NOBODY WANTED THAT TO COME IN HERE.

WE HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT.

UH, AND, AND THE FACT THAT THEY, THEY DID COME IN AND WE HAD TO GO AHEAD AND MITIGATE THE ISSUES WITH, WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.

UM, AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE THOSE AMENITIES THAT THE MAYOR JUST ARTICULATED.

UH, SO YOU'RE WAY ABOVE OF WHAT, WHAT OTHER DEVELOPERS DID ON THOSE OTHER, UM, ANOTHER THING THAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IN THIS, IN, IN THE SPIRIT OF NEGOTIATIONS AND COOPERATION, I I'M SEEING THAT FROM YOU GUYS, UH, ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU'VE ALREADY MADE SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS.

AND THEN I WAS LIKE I SAY, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU'VE ALREADY MADE THE ADJUSTMENTS ON THE, ON, ON THE MINIMUM, UH, HOW SIZE, UM, I DO HEAR WHAT MAYOR PRO TIM, UH, SAM'S HAS SOME CONCERNS WITH AND, AND, AND LOOKING AT THE PERCENTAGES OF THE LOTS.

AND SINCE WE'VE ALWAYS THROWN OUT COOPERATION OR IDEAS FOR NEGOTIATION, UM, IS THERE SOME ROOM IN THERE EVEN THOUGH WE GOT 43% OF THE LOSS THAT ARE 6,000, UH, INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING, OKAY, WE WANT A MINIMUM OF SEVEN ALL THE WAY AROUND.

IS THERE SOME ROOM IN THERE TO DO THE LOWER, THE 43% OF THE 6,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT? I THINK THAT WE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT ADJUSTING A FEW OF THE LAWS TO TRY TO WIDEN IT RIGHT NOW, IF YOU JUST TAKE THE 50, THE FIFTIES, SIXTIES, AND EIGHTIES, THAT IS AN AVERAGE OF LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, JUST UNDER 7,000 FEET.

IF YOU TAKE THE LARGER CORNER LOGS, I WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THAT IT'S PROBABLY EXACTLY 7,000 SQUARE FOOT ON AVERAGE THROUGHOUT.

SO THE NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE MORE TOWARDS THAT 7,000 THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

UM, I THINK THAT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, IF WE GET THE APPROVAL TONIGHT, I DEFINITELY WOULD, WOULD SIT DOWN WITH STAFF AND TRY TO LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN ADJUST.

IT'S A JIGSAW PUZZLE.

SO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, CAN WE MOVE THIS ONE AND HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THIS ONE? AND WHAT CAN WE SQUEEZE OUT IT, WE CAN MOVE THE NEEDLE A LITTLE BIT TO MOVE TOWARDS A 7,000 AVERAGE.

AND HOPEFULLY THAT WOULD GET CLOSE TO WHAT YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING FOR IN AND DROP THAT PERCENTAGE OF THE AVERAGE ONES THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER, IF THAT WOULD HELP.

IF I COULD, I'M MARRIED.

I, I WANT TO BE CLEAR.

UM, OKAY.

THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE COMPLAINANT HAS MADE IT CLEAR, HIGHER AMENITIES IS GOING TO REQUIRE THE DENSITIES.

I'M ALL IN FAVOR.

I JUST, IT'S MOVING ME MORE THAN I'M COMFORTABLE WITH, AND I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH 43% BEING 6,000.

AND SO IF, IF, IF IT'S HARD AND FAST THAT IT HAS TO BE 40, I I'M, I'M A NO VOTE, BUT IF THERE IS A WILLINGNESS TO ADJUST THAT NUMBER DOWN, THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY FOR ME.

CAUSE MCCURDY.

SO, UM, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THE, SO ON THE MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE, YOU'RE WILLING TO, TO ADJUST THAT TO THE 2000 SQUARE FEET, THE, UH, IT SEEMS LIKE I SAW SOMETHING IN YOUR PRESENTATION.

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.

ABOUT BUILDING MATERIALS, THAT YOU HAD TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF A VARIATION OF THREE DIFFERENT BUILDING MATERIALS, RIGHT.

IN THE HOUSES THAT, UM, ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A KIND OF A RESTRICTION ON THE PERCENTAGE OF THAT THAT'S MASONRY VERSUS LIKE A HARDY TYPE MATERIAL? UM, I KNOW YOU SAID THAT THE, THE FRONT FACADE WOULD BE, WOULD BE A HUNDRED PERCENT MASONRY.

WHAT, WHAT ABOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE HOUSES? IS THERE SOME, BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY WHERE YOU START CUTTING, CUTTING THE, THE EO, THE QUALITY OF THE CONSTRUCTION IS, YOU KNOW, THE FRONT'S MASONRY AND THEN THE REST OF THE HOUSE IS, IS HARDY BACKSIDE, BRITISH TOWN.

THE, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IS 80% OF THE, AND VERSION OF THE HOUSE ARE BRICK.

WHAT YOU TYPICALLY HAVE OVER A SECOND STORY STRUCTURE, ANYTHING OVER A ROOF LINE, CAN'T BE BRICK BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A CEMENT.

AND WHEN THERE'S NOT A STEEL LENTIL TO BE ABLE TO HOLD THE BOOK UP.

SO THOSE NEED TO BE SOME TYPE OF PARTY TYPE OF SIDING.

IT'S USUALLY PANEL OR LAP SIDING.

THE STONE WOULD MOST LIKELY JUST BE THAT FRONT FACE, ELEVATION AND WRAP AROUND THE CORNERS.

THEY TYPICALLY GO BACK THREE FEET.

SO IT FOCUSES ON THAT, BUT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE HAS A REQUIREMENT AT 80% MASONRY.

YOU KNOW, ON THE LOT SIZE IS, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT AS FIXED ON THE LOT SIZES IN MY MIND, YOU KNOW, THE DIRECTION THAT DEVELOPMENT IS KIND OF TAKING IS WE'RE TRADING LOT SIZE FOR MORE OPEN COMMUNAL GREEN SPACE, WHERE, WHERE WE'VE GOT, WE'VE GOT SMALLER, A LITTLE BIT SMALLER YARDS OR SOME CASES, A LOT SMALLER YARDS, BUT THEN WE HAVE PARKS AND WE HAVE TRAILS AND WE HAVE GREEN SPACES ATTACHED TO THAT.

AND,

[01:55:01]

UM, IT IS, YOU KNOW, OUR OVERALL OBJECTIVE FOR THE CITY IS, IS AROUND, YOU KNOW, WE, IT WAS 20% REVISED, THE 25% YOU'RE AT ABOUT 17.3%.

YOU'VE MADE SOME IMPROVEMENTS HERE, THOUGH, IN, IN WHAT, UH, IN WHAT GREEN SPACE YOU HAVE AVAILABLE AND THE AMENITIES ARE AVAILABLE.

UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, I'M, I'M HAPPY WITH THAT.

UH, I, I'M NOT AS HUNG UP ON, ON THE INDIVIDUAL LOT SIZES, YOU KNOW, IS IF WE WERE GOING TO ADD SOMETHING RATHER THAN TRYING TO FLEX LOTS BIGGER, REALLY, YOU KNOW, IN MY MIND, I REALLY LIKE TO SEE THE, THE AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE EXPANDED IF POSSIBLE, AND, YOU KNOW, UH, MAYBE THAT'S WHAT, WHAT COUNTY MAYOR PRO TEM SIMS WAS ALERTING TO WITH YOUR, YOUR TRADING LOT SIZE FOR, FOR AMENITIES.

AND TO ME, IT'S, YOU'RE TRADING A LOT SIZE FOR GREEN SPACE, PROBABLY AMENITIES AS WELL, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S 6,000 SQUARE FEET.

I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE US CLOSER TO THAT, TO THAT 20% ON, ON GREENSPACE.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S, IF THAT'S DOABLE WITH, WITH WHAT YOU HAVE HERE OR NOT.

WELL, I THINK A LOT OF IT THERE'S OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS.

THERE ARE CERTAIN PARK REQUIREMENTS, THERE'S, UH, THE STREET REQUIREMENTS.

AND SO I KNOW AT ONE POINT IN TIME, OUR STREETS WERE IN THE TWENTIES RANGE.

NOW THEY'RE OVER 30 FEET.

SO THE STREETS GOT WIDER, WHICH IS A CONCESSION THAT WE MADE.

WE WIDENED THE LOTS AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

WE ORIGINALLY WENT IN WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO HAVING A 1400 SQUARE FOOT HOME IN A BLEND OF ALL OF THEM.

WE'VE, WE'VE THROWN ALL THOSE OUT.

AND NOW WE'RE AT A 2000 FOOT MINIMUM.

SO WE'RE, WE'VE BEEN TALKED ABOUT PUTTING THE, THE CONNECTING PARKS AND CONNECTING THE JOGGING TRAILS.

WE'VE MET WITH THE COMMUNITY IN, WITH, WITH ALL THE CONCESSIONS, WHICH IS, I KNOW THAT THAT NOT EVERYONE SAYS POOR DEVELOPER, BUT IT'S BEEN TO THE TUNES OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

EACH EATS A LOT THAT WE GIVE, BUT THIS IS FOUR TO $500,000 IN REVENUE BACK TOWARDS THE BUILDER ON THE PROJECT.

SO THEY GET VERY SENSITIVE AND WE JUST GIVE THEM AWAY.

UM, SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T LIKE THAT.

SO I, I, AND I WANT, I WANT THE, IT'S AN AMAZING PROJECT AND IT JUST, MY TIME HERE THAT I SPENT IN CEDAR HILL, I CAN HONESTLY SAY YOU GUYS, THE COMMUNITY AND EVERYTHING, THE STAFF HAS BEEN AMAZING.

WE WANT TO SEE A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT HERE.

WE REALLY, REALLY DO.

WE WANT TO BE HERE.

I LOVE COMING DOWN HERE.

UH, THE, JUST A LOT OF TIMES I'M HANDCUFFED AND I CAN, I CAN SHIFT, BUT NOT KNOWING THE NUMBERS.

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A PROMISE TO YOU AND HAVE IT AND HAVE ME BE WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING AND HAD THE WHOLE THING BLOW UP AND ALL THE BUILDERS WALK AWAY AND SAY, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT.

AND THEN WE'RE STARTING, THEN WE'VE WASTED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, IF NOT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

AND THE WHOLE THING JUST KIND OF BLOWS UP IN OUR FACE AND CEDAR HILL GETS A BLACK GUY.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN, YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN PROVIDE A 7,000 SQUARE FOOT AVERAGE, AND MAYBE IT'S NOT 43%, IT'S HAS A THREE IN FRONT OF IT VERSUS A FOUR.

AND WE TRY TO WORK TOWARDS THAT.

WE CAN GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO, OR WE CAN JUST GET THE APPROVAL HERE TONIGHT WITH THE INTENT OF, OF GETTING TO THAT, TO SHIFT IT TO WHERE THAT AVERAGE THOUSAND 7,000 SQUARE FEET, I THINK WE CAN GET BELOW THE FORTIES AND FOR YOU TO GET YOU TO HER, IT'S CLOSER TO THAT NUMBER.

AND WE'LL, WE'LL THROW ANOTHER BARBECUE PIT IN OR WHATEVER AMENITY WE HAVE TO ADD TO TRY TO GET UP THERE.

TAKING A LOOK AT THIS ROADWAY IN THE INTERSECTION AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND TRAFFIC FLOW THERE.

YOU KNOW, MY OTHER, MY ONLY OTHER REALLY CONCERN IS ISN'T SPECIFICALLY WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THIS, AND THIS IS REALLY MORE A COMMENT FOR, FOR STAFF BASED UPON THE, THE FEEDBACK WE'VE HEARD FROM, FROM CITIZENS.

AND IN THE ONGOING FEEDBACK WE'VE HEARD ABOUT DUNCANVILLE ROAD IS THAT THERE'S TOO MANY CARS ON, YOU KNOW, ON THAT ROADWAY.

I KNOW THERE WAS, THERE WAS A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE AND, YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC STUDIES TYPICALLY DEAL WITH OVERALL, YOU KNOW, TRIPS ON A ROADWAY.

IT NOT SPECIFIC POINTS IN TIME.

UM, AND I'VE BEEN ON THAT ROADWAY IN THE MORNING AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A PLEASANT DRIVE, YOU KNOW, TO, TO SIT THROUGH JUST SO THE STOP SIGNS THERE.

AND SO I UNDERSTAND THEIR POINT ABOUT ADDING, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER 250 HOMES, WHICH IS 500 CARS, POTENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, A THOUSAND MORE TRIPS A DAY ON, YOU KNOW, ON THAT ROADWAY AND THE CONDITION OF THE AGE OF THE, THE, UH, IN CONSTRUCTION OF THAT ROADWAY.

SO I HOPE THAT, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT ROAD JUST LIKE WE DID WITH, WITH JOE WILSON AT 67, WHEN, WHEN FUEL CITY WENT IN.

UM, I THINK MAYBE WE NEED TO ALSO BE

[02:00:01]

SO THOSE ARE THE ONLY COMMENTS I QUESTIONS I HAD.

YUP.

UM, I GUESS AS AN ATTORNEY, INSTEAD OF A BUILDER, MAYBE I'M ASKING FOR ELEVATIONS SINCE I'M SORRY.

I WAS ASKING EARLIER ABOUT BUILDERS, IF YOU CAN HAVE MAYBE APPROVED BUILDERS, BUT MAYBE WE CAN JUST GET THE ELEVATIONS OF THAT BY A STAB.

MAYBE THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY.

I'M SORRY.

NOT NECESSARILY BUILD A SPECIFICALLY, BUT MAYBE ELEVATIONS YOU GO IN AND BUY, UM, OUR STAFF.

ABSOLUTELY.

MAKE SURE THAT WE ALIGNED PRETTY SURE IT SHOULD BE AN OPEN TO THAT.

UH, ALL RIGHT.

UM, COUNSEL, UH, ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, OKAY.

I'M GONNA, UM, I'M GONNA TRY TO SUMMARIZE THIS TO MENTION THAT OUR WILLINGNESS TO REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF 6,000 SQUARE FOOT LOST.

DID I HEAR THAT CORRECTLY? CORRECT.

BELOW 40%.

THEY GET UP BELOW THAT 40% NUMBER.

I THINK IF WE, CAUSE WE'RE JUST REAL, REAL CLOSE TO 7,000, MAYBE OVER THAT.

SO IF WE PUSH TO DO THAT A LITTLE BIT AND GET THAT PERCENTAGE OUT OF THE FORTIES, INTO THE THIRTIES, I JUST DON'T KNOW, WITHOUT SITTING HERE AND RELYING UPON AN ENGINEER WHO DRAWS THESE THINGS, THEY KNOW EXACTLY HOW THAT WOULD LOOK, BUT YEAH, WE COULD SHOOT TO SAY A MINIMUM 39.9 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, JUST SO WE HAVE A MAXIMUM THRESHOLD AND THEN WE CAN GO BACK TO THE PLAN AND DESIGN IT.

RIGHT.

AND IT MAY BE THAT IT'S 38% MAKES THE RIGHT DESIGN.

AND SO IF THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO HAVE YOU GIVE US A YES VOTE, THEN WE'D DEFINITELY BE WILLING TO MAKE THAT COMMITMENT.

BUT FOR ME THERE BE ANY DIMUNITION IN THE AMENITIES THAT'S CURRENTLY, THEY ARE PRESENTED TO US, CORRECT.

WE WOULDN'T TAKE THEM AWAY FROM GREENSPACE.

UM, BEFORE I'LL SUMMARIZE THIS AND, AND, AND, AND, UH, MS. STRINGFIELD OUTCOME, I'M COMING TO YOU AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE, BUT I JUST WANT COUNCIL TO KNOW THAT FOR HIM TO RESCALE HIS PLANS, I MEAN, THAT COSTS, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF MONEY TO DO THAT.

SO THE FACT THAT HE'S GIVEN US INSTANCE VERBAL COMMITMENT, THAT REALLY MEANS A LOT.

SO I UNDERSTAND, I KNOW, I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, I'M IN THE SAME FIELD AS YOU, AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTION.

UM, SO LET ME TRY TO SUMMARIZE THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL KIND OF ON THE SAME PAGE, UM, UH, 246 TO TOUCH, UH, DUELING UNITS ON EACH SEPARATE LOTS, UH, UNDER 40% OF LOTS TO HAVE A AREA OF 6,000 SQUARE FEET, 52, I GUESS, I GUESS THE PERCENTAGES WOULD CHANGE IT, BUT FIT IT TO A MINIMUM OF 52% OF THE LIGHTS WILL HAVE AN AREA OF 7,200 SQUARE FEET, UH, WITH 5% OR A MINIMUM 5% LOSS BEING 9,600 SQUARE FEET.

THE RESIDENTS HAVE STANDARDS OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND BUILDING MATERIALS QUALIFIED THAT COULD BE A SHARED WITH PENDING ZONING DISTRICT AND DEVELOPERS CONSENT.

THE PENDING ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THE MINIMUM OF 2000 SQUARE FEET, LOTS, UH, WITH AN EXCEPTION OF A MAXIMUM OF 10%, UH, OF THE RESIDENTS TO HAVE, OH, THAT'S AN, OKAY.

SO MINIMUM OF 2000 SQUARE FEET, LOTS, THE NEXT IS APPROXIMATE OF 17%, 17.3% OF THE PROPERTY TO CONSERVE AN OPEN SPACE AND A PASSIVE ACTIVE RECREATION STORM WATER MAINTENANCE IN THE FORM OF TWO RETENTION PONDS AMENITIES NEAR 7,000 CALIPERS INCHES OF MATURE TREES AROUND THESE PONDS ARE ABLE BEING PRESERVED.

UH, AN EIGHT FOOT TALL WOOD FENCE WILL BE, UH, INSTALLED ALONG THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF JOINING BEAR CREEK RANCH, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE HEIGHT WAS INCREASED FROM SIX FEET TO EIGHT FEET UPON MEETING THE ADJOINING HOMEOWNERS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, AND I GUESS THE LAST POINT, THIS WOULD BE A SIX FOOT TALL MASONRY SCREENING WALL ALONG BROOKVILLE ROAD WITH LANDSCAPING.

UM, DOES THAT SOUND ABOUT RIGHT.

SO MAYOR ON THAT WAS WHEN YOU INDICATED 2000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS, OR YOU MEAN IN 2000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE.

AS YOU WANT TO CORRECT YOU AND I SAY LOTS.

YES.

LET ME REPHRASE THE PLAN IS ONLY, SORRY.

THE RECOMMENDATION FOR A MINIMUM LIVING AREAS ARE 2000 SQUARE FEET.

YES.

I THINK THAT, UH, IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BUILDING MATERIAL.

THAT'S IN THERE.

YEP.

ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT, COUNSEL.

SO THAT IS MY MOTION.

THAT'S ON TABLE FOR A MOTION.

SO MAYOR WITH, WITH THAT, UM, IN THE SPIRIT OF COOPERATION, I MEAN, WE, UH, APPROVED CASE NUMBER PD 3 8 7 2 0 2 1.

UH, BUT MOST OF THEM, COUNCILMEMBER HAYDEN AND WE HAVE A SECOND FROM A CUSTOMER.

SO, YES.

RIGHT.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR CONSIDERATION ARE A QUESTIONS, COUNCIL COMMENTS.
