NEXT ITEM

[d. Administer Oaths of Office to Fire Personnel.]

ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING PARTS OF BECOMING A FIREFIGHTER OR BEING A FIREFIGHTER IS HIRING ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND ALSO PROMOTING IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO I'D LIKE THE, UH, UH, FOLKS THAT ARE SWEARING IN, PROMOTING OR SWEARING IN TO COME FORWARD.

AND I'M GONNA ASK MADAM CITY SECRETARY, IF SHE WOULD ADMINISTER THE OATH OF OFFICE.

WE HAVE ENGINEER CHRIS HOLCOMB, FIREFIGHTER RICARDO CHAVEZ, FIREFIGHTER PATRICK KUNA, MEDICAL OPERATIONS TECHNICIAN, TREY WINTERS, ENGINEER DRIVER JUSTIN SMITH, AND CAPTAIN PATRICK THOMAS.

AND AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GONNA ASK THOSE WHO ARE HERE TO PIN THEIR BADGE ON TO COME FORWARD.

I ALSO WANNA THANK, TAKE THIS TIME TO THANK THE FAMILY MEMBERS.

I KNOW YOU GUYS KNOW THE SACRIFICE AND HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK STUDYING, PUTTING IN THE WORK TO MAKE THESE PROMOTIONS AND TO MAKE IT ONTO THE DEPARTMENT.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR BOWING OUR HEARTS, AND THANK YOU FOR LOANING THEM TO US.

EVERY THIRD DAY I'LL HAVE THE ASSISTANT CHIEF COME DOWN FOR A QUICK CONGRATULATIONS AND, UH, WELCOME TO CEDAR HILL, AND ALSO CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ONES WHO ARE PROMOTED.

ALL RIGHT, WE, UM, HAVE ONE MORE PRESENTATION.

THIS IS A PRESENTATION OF LIFESAVING AWARD TO FIVE MEMBERS OF THE CEDAR HILL FIRE DEPARTMENT, CHIEF SMITH, PARDON, AGAIN, FIRE MARSHALL MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UM, BEFORE WE DO THE LIFE SAFETY SAVING AWARDS, UH, YOU KNOW, ON ANY GIVEN DAY, OUR FIREFIGHTERS, WHEN THEY RESPOND TO A CALL, UM, WE ALL FACE A MERIT OF EVENTS, AND WE NEVER KNOW, UM, WHAT THE SAFETY FACTORS ARE.

AND, UH, WE SEE THINGS THAT WE SOMETIMES CAN'T ERASE, AND WE KEEP THIS ROLODEX IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDS.

AND SO, UH, SOMETIMES WE JUST NEED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY.

AND, UH, ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, OUR FIREFIGHTERS EXPRESSED THE NEED THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY WANTED TO HAVE SOME SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE, UH, WANTED TO HAVE A FIRE DEPARTMENT CHAPLAINS.

SO A YEAR AND A HALF AGO REACHED OUT TO DR.

GREEN, UH, EDSEL, DORIS AND NATHAN TIMMERMAN.

AND, UH, WE PUT TOGETHER A CHAPLAIN CORPS.

AND, UH, JUST MY HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO, UH, TODAY TO INTRODUCE, UH, THE HEAD OF OUR CHAPLAIN CORPS, DR.

GREEN, UH, WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH A MANY CITIZENS, UH, CHAPLAIN FIRE ACADEMY.

UH, THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME TRAINING WITH THE, UH, FEDERATION OF FIREFIGHTER CHAPLAINS AS WELL, AND THEY HAVE SOME ONGOING CE HOURS WITH THEM.

AND SO IT'S JUST, UH, A PLEASURE TO WELCOME THEM ABOARD AND TO OFFICIALLY INTRODUCE THEM TO THE CITY, DR.

GREEN .

WELL, I'LL JUST SPEAK FOR ALL THREE OF US.

IT'S AN HONOR FOR US TO VOLUNTEER

[00:25:01]

AND TO SUPPORT SUCH A GREAT DEPARTMENT, AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY THE HEROES.

WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEM ANY WAY THAT WE CAN.

AND SO WE'RE DELIGHTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND TO BE A PART OF THIS CITY, TOO.

STRAIGHT INTO THE, UH, LIFESAVING AWARDS.

THANK YOU, MARTHA.

KIEV AGREES.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, AND THANK YOU FOR SERVING YOUR TIME.

[e. Presentation of Lifesaving Awards to five members of the Cedar Hill Fire Department.]

UM, MY GREAT, UH, HONOR AND PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE THIS SURVIVOR OF THAT CARDIAC EVENT.

AND I'LL FACE THE AUDIENCE HERE.

AS CHIEF SMITH SAID, OUR, YOU SAW A PROMOTIONAL CEREMONY AND SWEARING IN TONIGHT, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING TIMES, UH, AS WHEN WE JOIN OR PROMOTE IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

BUT, UH, ONE OF THE GREATEST HONORS WE GET TO DO AS, AS CHIEFS, IS, UH, RECOGNIZE OUR PERSONNEL WHEN THEY'RE OUT THERE DOING THE JOB, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES OUT THERE MAKING THE DIFFERENCE.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE, UH, THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE JOIN ME DOWN HERE, UH, FIREFIGHTER HUNTER SU, CAPTAIN ROBERT BURLESON, ENGINEER JAKE PITERO, FIREFIGHTER PATRICK KUNA.

YOU GUYS WOULD JOIN ME.

SCOOT IN HERE A LITTLE BIT.

JOSH.

UH, THERE'S ONE IN INDIVIDUAL THAT'S MISSING FROM THIS CREW.

THIS IS THE FIRE STATION TWO CREW, UH, C SHIFT FIRE STATION TWO IS LOCATED AT SOUTH CLARK ROAD IN LITTLE CREEK.

AND, UH, THE OTHER MEMBER THAT'S PART OF THIS TEAM IS, UH, TYLER GLASS.

AND HE'S HAPPENS TO BE OUT OF TOWN TODAY.

SO UNFORTUNATELY HE COULDN'T JOIN US, BUT, UH, WE WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THEM FOR AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED MARCH, UH, 23RD OF THIS YEAR.

UM, THESE GUYS ARE ALWAYS PREPARED.

THEY'RE ALWAYS READY FOR THE CALL, AND THIS DAY WAS NO EXCEPTION.

UM, IF THERE EVER WAS A TIME TO HAVE THIS INCIDENT OCCUR, AND THE IN THE PLACE IN WHICH IT OCCURRED, THIS WAS THE RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PEOPLE.

SO, UH, I'M GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT OCCURRED, AND THEN I'M GONNA HAND IT OVER TO CAPTAIN BURLESON AS HE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS ACTUALLY THERE, AND HE CAN KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH THE INCIDENT.

BUT ON THIS DATE, AT ABOUT THREE 30 THAT AFTERNOON, UM, CROSSING GUARD THAT IS ALWAYS THERE EVERY SINGLE DAY, MORNING AND EVENING AT, UH, THAT INTERSECTION TO HELP THE CHILDREN, UH, LEAVING THE SCHOOLS CROSS THE STREET AT A CARDIAC EVENT, AND, UM, COLLAPSED THERE ON THE SIDEWALK AFTER HELPING THE CHILDREN ACROSS THE STREET, UH, INDIVIDUAL RAN TO THE FIRE STATION, BEING RIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER, KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND ALERTED, UH, THIS CREW THAT THE CROSSING GUARD HAD COLLAPSED, UH, DURING DOING HER DUTIES.

SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO CAPTAIN BURSON, AND HE CAN KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED RIGHT AFTER THAT.

SO, THAT DAY WAS A, UH, IT WAS A BORING DAY AT THE FIRE STATION, WHICH IS A GREAT THING.

THAT MEANS OUR CITIZENS AREN'T HAVING EMERGENCIES, NOTHING BAD HAPPENS, WE'RE NOT GETTING BASEBALL HELL.

SO WE HAD JUST GOT FINISHED WORKING OUT, AND WE WERE ALL SITTING AROUND THE TABLE KIND OF COOLING OFF, AND A CITIZEN CAME AND RAN AND KNOCKED ON THE DOOR.

THEY SAID THE LADY HAD HAD A SEIZURE WHEN WE WALKED OUTSIDE, RAN OUTSIDE.

WHEN WE GOT THERE AND WE SAW HER, WE REALIZED IT WAS A LOT WORSE THAN A SEIZURE.

SO WE QUICKLY GOT HER IN THE BACK OF THE AMBULANCE, WENT TO WORK ON HER IMMEDIATELY.

WE HAD HER HEART BEATING AGAIN BEFORE WE LEFT THE STATION.

AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT NEVER STOPPED AFTER THAT.

SO, IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK, THE FIRE STATION PARKING LOT'S, NOT A BAD PLACE TO DO IT.

, UM, LET SOMEBODY ELSE DO IT.

NOT ON OUR CREW.

WE'RE, WE'RE GOOD WITH OUR ONE.

SO, BUT I KNOW THE CREW HATES BEING UP HERE AS MUCH AS I HATE TALKING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE, BUT IT, IT'S HARD TO GIVE OUT RECOGNITION TO A FIREMAN WHOSE JOB DESCRIPTION IS SO VAGUE AND SO ALL ENCOMPASSING.

SO IF YOU SAY THIS IS ABNORMAL FOR A FIREMAN, IT, IT'S NOT.

IF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY, THERE'D BE FIVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE STANDING UP HERE.

IF IT HAD HAPPENED THE DAY BEFORE THAT THERE'D BE ANOTHER FIVE PEOPLE STANDING UP HERE, THAT WASN'T ANYTHING UNUSUAL FOR OUR DEPARTMENT.

IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE OUR TIME AND OUR DAY.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF HIM.

LET ME BE UP HERE AND RECOGNIZE THE CREW.

AND I'M DONE TALKING IN PUBLIC .

UH, THANK YOU, CAPTAIN BURLESON.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, THEIR TRAINING, THEIR STATE OF READINESS, UM, IS ALWAYS AT A HUNDRED PERCENT, AND THEY'RE READY TO GO.

SO IT'S ALSO,

[00:30:01]

SHE IS WITH US TONIGHT AND HAS DECIDED TO JOIN US AND HELP HAND OUT THESE AWARDS.

UM, SHE'S STILL, UH, RECOVERING SOME FROM, FROM THE EVENTS AS ANYBODY COULD IMAGINE.

SO, UM, WE'LL KEEP IT SHORT AND BRIEF AS POSSIBLE AS WE CAN SO THAT WE CAN HELP HER ON HER WAY.

BUT, UH, IF MS. JACQUELINE JAMES WOULD JOIN US UP HERE WHEN SHE'S READY.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I KNOW, UH, IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF TIME OUTTA YOUR, OUTTA YOUR SCHEDULE AND, AND, UM, WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

IT MEANS A LOT TO, TO US AND, AND THE GUYS.

SO IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT WE GET TO DO THIS, UNFORTUNATELY.

SO, UM, IT'S A GREAT DAY.

SO I'LL START OFF, UH, WITH CAPTAIN ROBERT BURLESON MEDAL OF LIFESAVING AWARD.

ENGINEER JACOB PITERO.

CAROL.

BE ON JULY 7TH, WARD HUNTER SU AND FIREFIGHTER PATRICK KUNA, MEDAL LIFE SAVING AWARD.

AGENDA IS CITIZENS FORM.

THIS GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR, UH, ANYONE TO SPEAK ABOUT ANY ITEM, UH, THAT'S ON OR OFF THE AGENDA ITEMS THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.

OF COURSE, COUNCIL CANNOT DELIBERATE, UH, BUT WE COULD BE, UH, WE COULD ADDRESS IT IN A FUTURE MEETING.

UH, I DO HAVE, UH, A FEW, UH, FORMS COUNSEL.

UH, FIRST ONE IS, UH, FRED FAYER, IF I'M SAYING IT CORRECTLY.

UH, PLEASE COME ON UP.

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

I HAVE WHAT GRIEVANCE? HUH? WHAT WHAT, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? YEAH, THREE MINUTES.

OH, THREE MINUTES.

YES.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

UH, FRED FARER, UH, IN FRISCO.

UM, AND I'M HERE, I'M SORT OF SPOOL OF MOOD BECAUSE OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING, BUT I'M HERE FOR A LITTLE MORE SERIOUS BUSINESS, AND I'M SURE ALL THE COUNCIL PEOPLE ARE HERE, ARE, ARE AWARE ABOUT THAT TOO.

UM, YOU HAVE A CHURCH IN YOUR MIDST BY THE NAME OF STEAD BA BAPTIST CHURCH.

MOVED IN A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.

I'M HERE ALONG WITH SOME OTHER MEMBERS OF A GROUP CALLED NOHA IN TEXAS.

AND WE'VE BEEN PROTESTING THAT CHURCH FOR SOME TIME NOW.

THREE AND A HALF YEARS.

WE'VE HAD THEM EVICTED THREE TIMES FROM THREE SEPARATE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE METROPLEX.

UM, FOR THOSE THAT ARE NOT AWARE, OUR GROUP, UH, IS COMPOSED OF AGNOSTICS, ATHEISTS, DRUITT'S, PAGANS, WICKENS, SATANISTS CHRISTIANS, EX CHRISTIANS, FORMER CHRISTIANS SUCH AS MYSELF.

WE WE'RE ALL OVER THE WAY, ALL OVER THE PLACE.

WE'VE BEEN PROTESTING THIS CHURCH.

UH, THEY CALL THEMSELVES A BAPTIST CHURCH.

UH, I STILL OUTTA MY BIBLE FROM, UH, 50 YEARS AGO.

AND, UH, I DON'T CALL THEM CHRISTIANS, BUT WE'LL GET BESIDE THAT POINT.

UH, WE ARE HERE TO PROTEST THEIR HATE.

AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THEIR HATE, I WILL READ A FEW, UH, EXCERPTS.

ONE FROM ONE SERMON AND, AND ONE FROM ANOTHER SERMON.

UH, I'M GONNA CHANGE SOME OF THE WORDS FOR SOME OF THOSE THAT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE TO HERE.

THE FIRST ONE IS A SHORT STATEMENT, AND IT'S, WE NEED TO LINE UP ALL THE HOMOSEXUALS IN THE WORLD AND, UH, OR IN THE UNITED STATES AND UP AGAINST THE WALL AND SHOOT THEM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

THE NEXT ONE IS AN EXCERPT FROM A SERMON BACK IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, AND IT GOES AS FOLLOWS.

YOU HAVE TO GET CHRISTIANS TO REALIZE WHO THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN IS.

YOU HAVE TO GET THEM TO REALIZE

[00:35:01]

GOD HATES PEOPLE.

YOU HAVE TO GET THEM TO REALIZE THAT THE FIGS AND THE JOWLS ARE OF THE DEVIL.

AND IF WE WANT TO HAVE TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WE WANT TO LOVE GOD IN THIS COUNTRY, WE HAVE TO ELIMINATE THESE INDIVIDUALS.

WE CANNOT, CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO SURVIVE.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

SOMEONE'S GONNA DIE.

I DON'T THINK YOU REALIZE WE ARE IN A CRASH COURSE.

SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE.

IS IT GONNA BE THE CHRISTIANS OR IS IT GONNA BE THE FIGS AND THE JOWLS? BECAUSE THERE IS NOT AN OPTION WHERE WE BOTH JUST COEXIST PERMANENTLY.

SO YOU HAVE THIS CHURCH HERE.

UH, I'VE GOT A COUPLE FRIENDS HERE, THEY'RE GONNA SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.

BUT, BUT, UH, WE ARE HERE ALSO AND WE PROTEST AND WE PROTEST LOUDLY, BUT LEGALLY, AND WE'LL BE HERE EVERY SUNDAY AND PROBABLY A FEW WEDNESDAYS HERE AND THERE, SUMMER'S GONNA BE HOT, AND IT'S GONNA BE A LONG SLOG BECAUSE IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET PEOPLE LIKE THIS EVICTED.

BUT WE WILL BE HERE.

AND, UM, WE WANT TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

WE WANT TO GET ALONG, BUT WE WANT TO DO OUR JOB.

AND THAT'S TO GET THESE PEOPLE OUTTA YOUR TOWN AND MOVE 'EM ON DOWN THE ROAD.

UM, YOU'RE CHIEF OF POLICE, I'M SORRY, I FORGET HIS NAME, BUT HE'S INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO ME, AND, UH, WE'RE PRETTY SURE WE KNOW WHERE WE STAND, BUT IF THERE'S ANY FINER POINTS, WE WE'RE ALL EARS AND WE WANNA, UH, MAKE YOUR TOWN AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS, CUZ IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE.

IT REALLY DOES.

UM, I'M IMPRESSED.

UM, BY THE WAY, THE ACOUSTICS CENTER ARE PRETTY GOOD TOO.

BUT, UH, ANYWAY, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S IT.

I'LL YIELD THE REST OF MY TIME.

UM, I'M SORRY.

IT STARTS WITH A A T T, DON.

CLOSE ENOUGH.

, CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? OKAY.

MY FIRST WARNING IS I'M NOT A PUB PUBLIC SPEAKER.

UH, I GREW UP IN LAKE WORTH, LAKE WORTH.

WHAT'S WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND RECORD? WHAT'S YOUR NAME? AND MY NAME IS TILDEN PEACOCK.

TILDEN PEACOCK.

AND, UH, WE USED TO COME TO CEDAR HILL EVERY ONCE A WHILE AND PLAY A TEAM CALLED THE LONGHORNS.

I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL KNOW THEM.

NO, NOT WELL.

WE USED TO PLAY 'EM, USED TO BEAT 'EM.

BUT, UH, WHEN WE CAME TO TOWN, WE DIDN'T HIDE THAT.

WE WERE COMING TO TOWN.

WE MARCHED INTO TOWN, WE PLAYED OUR FOOTBALL GAME AND EVERYTHING.

WE DIDN'T COME WITH A BASEBALL BAT, WE DIDN'T COME WITH A GLOVE.

WE CAME TO PLAY FOOTBALL.

WE CAME TO BEAT THE LONGHORNS.

UH, I SAY THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A ENTITY THAT HAS COME INTO YOUR, UH, TOWN.

NOT THAT, NOT THAT WAY.

THEY HAVE SNUCK INTO YOUR TOWN.

THEY HAVE, TO ME, THEY'VE SLID BETTER INTO YOUR TOWN.

THEY CALL THEMSELVES A CHURCH.

I CALL 'EM, I'LL CALL THEM A CULTS.

UH, IT'S BY, IN IMITATION ONLY.

YOU CAN'T GO TO THEIR CHURCH UNLESS YOU'RE INVITED TO COME TO THEIR CHURCH.

UM, UH, ANY BUSINESS THAT GO COMES INTO CEDAR HILL, I WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD ANNOUNCE THEMSELVES TO YOU.

THEY SAY, HEY, WE'RE COMING TO SET UP A CHURCH IN YOUR, UH, COMMU COMMUNITY AND EVERYTHING.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S, UH, POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DO OR ANYTHING, BUT, UM, IT SEEMS LIKE IF A HA UH, LISTED HATE GROUP, WHICH IS A STEADFAST BAPTIST CHURCH, IS A LISTED HATE GROUP AT THE SPLS LC AND THE A C L U, IF THAT KIND OF GROUP COMES TO YOUR CITY, THEY OUGHT TO ANNOUNCE THEMSELVES TO YOU, TO THE CITY, OR AT LEAST TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF TROUBLE.

SO, UM, I JUST, UM, JUST WANNA LET Y'ALL KNOW THAT THEY'RE HERE AND, UM, TO, IT'S JUST A WARNING.

AND ALSO, UH, I GUESS THAT'S ALL MY TIME AND EVERYTHING.

LIKE I SAID, I DON'T DO THIS, UH, AS A, AS A, UH, JOB OR ANYTHING.

AND I GUESS I'M, I'M DONE.

OH, AND, UH, NO BULL FROGS.

UM, I BELIEVE THE NEXT IS LYNETTE SHARP.

CAN I HAVE THE REST OF HIS TIME? .

MY NAME'S LYNETTE SHARP, UH, 65 45 HIGH LAWN TERRACE, MAGA TEXAS.

UM, YOUR TOWN IS BEAUTIFUL AND IT'S SO WELCOMING.

IT REALLY HAS A DIFFERENT FEEL TO IT THAN A LOT OF CITIES.

I GO AND TALK AT A LOT OF CITY COUNCILS NOW BECAUSE OF THIS HATE GROUP THAT HAS MOVED INTO YOUR BEAUTIFUL TOWN.

AND I'M SO SORRY.

WE HAVE TO BE HERE BECAUSE OF THEM.

UH, THEY DO HATE AND WANT DEAD.

MOST PEOPLE, HOMOSEXUALS, UH, REBELLIOUS TEENS, UH, JEWISH PEOPLE, MUSLIMS, UM, PRETTY MUCH ANYONE , THEY BURN EVERY OTHER BIBLE EXCEPT FOR THE ONE THEY USE, WHICH FROM THE YEAR SIXTEENS A HUNDRED SOMETHING.

UM, THEY SAY THAT WOMEN SHOULD NEVER HAVE ANY POWER WHATSOEVER.

NONE.

THEY SHOULD BE AT HOME.

AND, UH, ONE SERMON SAID, YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER, EVER LET YOUR WIFE WIN.

[00:40:01]

NEVER LET HER WIN.

CAN YOU IMAGINE LIVING IN A HOME LIKE THAT? UM, THEY SAID THAT WHEN YOUR CHILDREN, THIS IS, YOU SHOULD START PHYSICALLY DISCIPLINING YOUR CHILDREN WHEN THEY'RE SIX MONTHS OLD SO THAT THEY GET USED TO IT.

AND BY THE TIME THEY'RE 12 MONTHS OLD, THEY SHOULD FEEL PAIN.

THAT'S WHAT THESE PEOPLE DO.

AND SO WE, WE PROTEST.

AND IN WATAUGA, THEY MOVED INTO MY CITY A A YEAR AGO.

AND THAT'S WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THEM.

AND THEY WERE ONLY RENTING, UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK THEY BOUGHT A BUILDING HERE IN YOUR CITY.

SO I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA GET RID OF 'EM, BUT WE DO WANT EVERYONE TO BE AWARE.

THEY'RE ARMED, THEY'RE ALWAYS ARMED, AND THEY'RE DANGEROUS.

THEY'RE VERY DANGEROUS.

THEY'VE THREATENED DEATH ON LOTS OF PEOPLE'S GROUPS, BUT THEY'VE ALSO THREATENED DEATH PERSONALLY TO PEOPLE.

I LOVE MY FROM, FROM OUR PROTEST GROUP.

UM, WE'RE GONNA BE HERE PROTESTING.

UM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY.

YOU CANNOT TOLERATE THIS KIND OF HATE BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO TOLERATE IT, IT MAKES EVERYONE ELSE UNSAFE.

LIKE, IT'S NOT OKAY.

THESE PEOPLE WANT PEOPLE TO DIE.

THEY'RE CALLING FOR THE DEATH OF ALL GAY PEOPLE AND JEWISH PEOPLE AND MUSLIMS AND, AND EVERYONE.

SO IF YOU SEE THEM ABOUT TOWN, PLEASE LOOK THEM UP.

I HAVE PAMPHLETS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS.

I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH.

UH, PLEASE BE AWARE.

LOOK THEM UP.

SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.

BECAUSE YOU, YOU NEED TO BE AWARE.

YOU CAN'T TOLERATE THESE PEOPLE IN YOUR TOWN BECAUSE THEN YOU ARE NOT SAFE.

NO ONE IS SAFE WITH THESE PEOPLE AROUND HERE.

UM, WHEN WE PROTEST, A LOT OF TIMES THE POLICE ATTACK US BECAUSE WE'RE OUTSIDE AND THEY'RE INSIDE.

WE'RE THE EASY, YOU KNOW, EASIEST ONE.

THEY WANNA MAINTAIN AN ORDER, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST WANT US GONE.

SO THEY TEND TO ATTACK US A LOT.

UH, I HOPE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE.

WE'RE FRIENDLY.

WE'RE, WE'RE, WE WANNA BE LEGAL, BUT WE ARE GOING TO PROTEST UNTIL AT LEAST EVERYBODY IN YOUR TOWN MIGHT BE AWARE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN GET RID OF 'EM, BUT YOU NEED TO BE AWARE THAT THEY'RE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS PEOPLE.

AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE ONE MORE, UH, CYNTHIA STAIRS.

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU CAN DO.

WE'RE ENTERTAINING.

OKAY, SO MY NAME IS CYNTHIA STAIRS.

I LIVE ON 1201 CEDAR HILL ROAD.

AND, UM, I'M JUST HERE TO NOTIFY YOU ABOUT A REALLY INVASIVE THISTLE THAT HAS COME INTO CEDAR HILL THAT I'VE NOT SEEN HERE BEFORE.

IT'S ON THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRI AGRICUL AGRICULTURAL WATCH LIST.

IT IS HAS INVADED 3 MILLION ACRES IN CALIFORNIA, OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND MONTANA.

I PICKED THIS OFF OF CLARK ROAD ON THE WAY HERE.

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

EACH THISTLE APPEARS LIKE THIS AND THEY REALLY POKE AND THEY ARE INVADING FARMLANDS, AND THEY ARE VERY HARMFUL AND SOMETIMES DEADLY TO HORSES AND CATTLE.

UM, I HAVE SIX ACRES BETWEEN CEDAR HILL ROAD AND, AND CLARK ROAD.

AND I HAVE FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS, BEEN PULLING THESE OUT ON MY FARM.

6,000 SO FAR.

I, THEY, EACH ONE CAN SPREAD.

OH HUN.

HUNT OVER A HUNDRED EACH.

FLOWER SEEDS.

ONE BUSH LIKE THIS CAN SPREAD LIKE 10,000.

AND, UM, I'VE SEEN THEM NOW ALONG, UM, 1382 AND PLEASANT RUN RIGHT ACROSS FROM THOSE APARTMENTS.

AND ON CLARK ROAD.

I WENT OUT THERE LA UH, LAST WEEK AND I PICKED A THOUSAND OF THEM FOR YOU CUZ THEY'RE COMING NEAR ME.

AND, UM, I, THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET RID OF THIS HAND POLO OR YOU KEEP 'EM MOWED DOWN ALL THE TIME.

NOW, I WAS GONNA GO, I SAW THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME, LIKE SUNDAY, AND I SAID, OH, I'M GONNA GET THEM.

THE NEXT DAY CAME BACK, THE MOWERS HAD COME AND LEVELED THEM, HALF OF THEM CLOSE TO THE ROAD DOWN, WHICH MEANS ALL THOSE FLOWERS JUST GOT SPREAD.

AND SO THEY EITHER HAVE TO BE MOWED, UM, GATHERED UP WHEN THEY'RE IN FLOUR, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, NOT SPREAD OR JUST YOU HAVE TO MOW AND KEEP THESE THINGS AWAY.

UM, I'M GONNA NOTIFY THE UNITED, THE TEXAS STATE OF AGRICULTURE ON THIS.

I'M SURE THEY KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT CEDAR HILL DOESN'T NEED THESE.

YOU DON'T NEED 'EM IN YOUR PARKS.

WE DON'T NEED 'EM ON OUR, I CAN'T, I CAN'T BURN OR, OR DO ANYTHING RADICAL LIKE SPRAY ON MY YARD BECAUSE I HAVE BEES AND MY WHOLE ACREAGE IS FLOWERS.

I NEED MY FLOWERS FOR MY HONEY BEES .

AND SO THIS IS REALLY A STRUGGLE FOR ME.

AND I DON'T

[00:45:01]

I'M WILLING TO HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN.

I'VE EVEN THOUGHT MAYBE GET MY CHURCH INVOLVED, LIKE THEY GET THE YOUTH OUT THERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR SOMETHING.

BUT I, I'M ALL IN.

I'M HERE TO HELP IF I CAN.

BUT I, I JUST WOULD NEED YOU TO, TO LET ME KNOW AND, AND MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW, WHAT, WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP KEEP THESE AWAY FROM CEDAR HILL AND, UM, MAKE OUR PLACE NICE.

I MEAN, YOU DON'T WANNA WALK THROUGH THIS.

THIS IS REALLY PAINFUL.

WHEN I PICK THESE, I SOMETIMES GET A JAB.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

UM, YEAH, DURING CITIZEN, THANK YOU.

YEAH, YEAH.

DURING CITIZENS FORM, IT GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL, BUT WE CANNOT DELIBERATE OR INTERACT.

SO THANK YOU.

UM, ALRIGHT, COUNSEL, UH, LEMME GO AHEAD AND GO TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, CASE NUMBER C U P 5 47 2023.

IS THERE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER C U P 5 47 2023? PLEASE COME ON UP.

UM, MADAM SECRETARY, I BELIEVE WE HAVE FIVE MINUTES FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YES, MY NAME IS MARK.

LAST NAME'S H A J D U.

UH, I RESIDE AT, UH, 68 0 5 CEDGWICK DRIVE, DALLAS, TEXAS 75,000 2 31.

UM, I, I WON'T NEED FIVE MINUTES.

I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M HERE AT TWO AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS.

UM, I ACTUALLY HAVE, UH, LEASED AND MANAGED THE PROPERTY AT 1382 AND 67 SINCE I WAS A YOUNG MAN.

HAD A FULL HEAD OF HAIR, UH, HAD A LEASING OFFICE ON SITE, UM, UH, WHEN IT WAS AT KROGER, KMART CENTER.

UM, I DID THE MOCK, I DID THE MCDONALD'S DEAL ON THE CORNER AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT WAS THERE.

UM, WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT CENTER.

THE CENTER DOES EXTREMELY WELL.

UM, THE, UH, THE SUBJECT TENANT THAT WE'RE PUTTING INTO THIS SPACE.

WE COULD HAVE DONE ANY, OR WE COULD HAVE TRIED.

WE HAVE TO LIVE UP TO YOUR STANDARDS.

WE COULD HAVE TRIED TO PUT ANY TYPE OF TENANT IN THERE, UH, THAT WAS A TOBACCO STORE.

UH, WE HAVE A HISTORY WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENTITY.

WE HAVE THEM IN OTHER PROPERTIES OF OURS.

THEY PAY THEIR RENT ON TIME.

THEY'RE CLEAN, THEY DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY'RE GONNA DO.

LAW CHANGES, THEY FOLLOW THE LAW.

WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH THEM AT, AT ANY OTHER PROPERTY.

UM, SO WHEN THE, UH, FORMER, UH, CBD STORE, UH, LEFT, UM, WE WERE LOOKING TO REPLACE THEM AND, UH, UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN THOUGH HAROLD'S CHECKING NOW IS ON THE CORNER, UM, THE, UH, THAT THAT AREA OVER THERE IS A LITTLE QUIET FOR, FOR OUR, FOR OUR NEEDS.

WE, WE WOULD LIKE MORE ACTIVITY AND, UH, AND WE HOPE THAT MAYBE THIS, THIS TENANT, ALONG WITH HAROLD'S CHICKEN WILL ADD SOME ACTIVITY TO THAT CORNER, HAVE DIFFICULTY LEASING THE 2000 FEET NEXT TO HAROLD'S RIGHT NOW.

AND SO, UH, BUT WE, WE'VE FOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS.

THIS WASN'T JUST SOME SNAP DECISION TO MAKE MONEY.

WE CHOSE THE BEST TENANT AVAILABLE AND REALLY DID VET THE PROCESS AND, AND THINK THROUGH WHAT WE WERE GONNA DO.

IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING WE'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S, WE, WE, THIS, WE'RE VERY, WE'RE A VERY GOOD LANDLORD.

I THINK THE PROPERTY'S CLEAN MOST OF THE TIME, AND I THINK WE DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF KEEPING UP THE CENTER.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR? YES, MA'AM.

COME ON UP.

OR, OR POSITION .

NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

I'M DR.

DEBORAH COFFIN, 617 REDBUD COURT, CEDAR HILL.

UM, AS A PHYSICIAN, I'M A FIRST LINE CONTACT FOR PEOPLE WHO DEAL WITH RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA, MOUTH AND THROAT CANCER, C O P D AND LUNG CANCER.

I HAVE DIAGNOSED AND TREATED THESE FOLKS AND IN THE CASE OF NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER, IT IS HEARTBREAKING.

THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LUNG CANCER PARTICULARLY, AND THE PRESENCE OF TOBACCO, SMOKE AND NICOTINE ARE THOUGHT TO BE DEFINITE PROMOTERS OF THIS PROCESS.

ADDITIONALLY, THE INCREASE IN RISE OF VAPING IN OUR YOUTH BEGINS A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THEIR HEALTH AT A VULNERABLE TIME IN THEIR LIFE.

EVEN IF THE SEWER DOESN'T ALLOW PEOPLE UNDER 21 INSIDE STILL, PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER 21 5 21 USE THESE PRODUCTS TO THEIR DETRIMENT.

SO ACCESS TO TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND VAPING PRODUCTS, I THINK SHOULD BE MINIMIZED OR ELIMINATED IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT'S COMMITTED TO PROVO PROMOTING HEALTH AND WELLBEING, PARTICULARLY BY LIMITING ACCESS FOR OUR VULNERABLE YOUTH.

SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE COUNCIL DENY A C U P, EXCUSE ME, A C U P FOR THIS TOBACCO AND VAPING SHOP IN THE INTEREST OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLBEING.

IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO C U P 5 47 2023.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER C U P 5 47 2023

[00:55:02]

ALL RIGHT, I'LL CLOSE THAT PORTION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UM, COUNCIL, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? COUNCIL HAYDEN? THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I, I HAVE JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS RELATIVE TO EXACTLY WHAT ALL'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, UH, SOLD IN THERE.

WE SAY A LOT OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS, BUT THEN WE ALL SAY, SAY VAPE PRODUCTS.

SO ONE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH OF, UH, YOUR INVENTORY IS BASED ON TOBACCO AND WHAT KIND OF TOBACCO IS IT CIGARETTES, CIGARS, WHAT? AND THEN WHAT SIDE OF IT IS THE VAPE PRODUCTS? WELL, IT ALL DEPENDS OF WHAT THIS AREA IS GONNA FOLLOW AT TOBACCO PRODUCTS, CIGARETTES, CHEWING TOBACCO, UH, PIPE, TOBACCO.

AND I CAN'T HONESTLY GIVE YOU A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT WILL BE, WHAT WILL GO WITH WHAT, BUT PROBABLY BE 20 TO 30%, UH, TOBACCO, 20 TO 30%, UH, VAPE, AND THEN THE REST WILL BE ACCESSORIES.

SO I MEAN, THERE, THERE CAN BE A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU OPEN TO SEE WHAT, WHAT YOUR TARGET MARKET IS AND WHAT KIND OF MARKETING YOU'RE GONNA DO.

SO I'M JUST ASKING, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, ARE WE FOCUSED MORE ON TOBACCO PRODUCTS OR VAPE PRODUCTS? YOU, YOU DON'T KNOW THAT WE I'M NOT GONNA BE DOING ANY MARKETING.

YOU'RE GONNA BE GOING FOR VA, YOU'RE GONNA BE GOING FOR DEMAND THEN.

CORRECT.

WHATEVER, WHATEVER.

I, IF PEOPLE, IF I HAVE NOTHING BUT CIGARETTE CUSTOMERS, THEN I CAN.

I CAN'T CELEBRATE THAT, THAT'S ALL.

BUT I'M OKAY.

BEFORE WE MAKE DECISION COUNSEL, I, I, I'LL TELL YOU, I'M, I'M, I'M, I'M PARTIALLY NEUTRAL.

UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMING CUSTOMER? UH, MCCURDY I HA HAVE DEBATED WHETHER OR NOT I WANTED TO, TO REALLY DELVE INTO THIS, BUT IT'S, IT'S TROUBLING TO ME THAT WE HAVE PRIME RETAIL FRONTAGE HERE ON THE MOST TRAVELED SERVICE ROAD IN OUR CITY.

AND THE BEST BUSINESS YOU CAN ATTRACT TO THE STRIP CENTER IS ANOTHER TOBACCO STORE.

UM, I DON'T REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING ANOTHER TOBACCO STORE IN THE CITY.

UH, THIS STRIP CENTER HAS NEEDED ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT IN REFRESH FOR SOME TIME.

AND, UH, I I THINK IT'S HIGH TIME THAT THAT HAPPENS.

THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.

YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE ARE SOME ANCILLARY PRODUCTS.

UM, I'M COUNTING ABOUT 20 20% TOBACCO, 20 SOMETHING PERCENT VAPING THAT LEAVES 50 SOMETHING PERCENT OF, CAN YOU DESCRIBE THOSE ACCESSORIES? ARE THEY HK ACCESSORIES OR ARE THEY VAPING ACCESSORIES? ARE THEY, CAN YOU GIVE GRADE DUE DETAIL? OKAY.

UH, I'M NOT SURE HOW FAMILIAR YOU ARE WITH A VAPE, BUT A VAPE HAS A MOD, HAS A COIL, HAS A GLASS, BATTERIES.

I CAN FILL UP TWO SHOWCASES WITH JUST ACCESSORIES FOR VAPE.

NOT ALONG.

UH, PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO, UH, MIX THEIR OWN JUICES AND STUFF, UH, THEIRS STUFF FOR ALSO THAT, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO TOBACCO, YOUR CIGAR PIPES, I WILL HAVE A CIGAR CABINET ALSO WITH, UH, ANY CIGAR ACCESSORIES THAT THEY'LL NEED.

THE CUTTING.

UH, THERE'LL BE ALL KINDS OF LIGHTERS IN THERE, BUT I WOULD, I I THINK ACCESSORIES WILL BE EASY OVER, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY GIVE AND TAKE 50% ACCESSORIES ON 50% OF PRODUCT.

AND NOT THAT 50%, THE MAJORITY OF THAT WOULD BE VAPING ACCESSORIES.

NO, SIR.

TOBACCO AND VAPING.

I WOULD JUST SAY, I WAS JUST GIVING YOU A PRIME EXAMPLE FOR A MOD, A VAPE MOD.

WHAT KIND OF SURGERY GOES INTO A VAPE MOD? BUT I CAN GIVE YOU THE SAME KIND ACCESSORIES.

THERE'S, WE SELL THE ASHTRAYS, WE HAVE THE CASES FOR THE TOBACCO LIGHTERS, ALL DIFFERENT KIND OF LIGHTERS.

UM, WE HAVE THE ROLLING MECHANISM FOR THE TOBACCO, THE ROLLING, UH, NOT THE ROLLING PAPER, BUT THE PRE-MADE CIGAR PAPERS AND, UH, AND PRE-MADE, UH, REGULAR CIGARETTES.

SOME PEOPLE STILL LIKE, UH, PACK THEIR OWN CIGARETTES.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, COUNSEL, MA'AM? UM, YOU KNOW,

[01:00:01]

UM, YOU KNOW, I, I TYPICALLY KNOW, YOU KNOW, DON'T, YOU KNOW, SMOKE TOBACCO OR, OR USE VAPE.

UM, BUT, UM, THIS IS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

UM, THERE WAS A PREVIOUS, YOU KNOW, OWNER THAT, THAT, THAT WAS THERE, OUR PREVIOUS BUSINESS THAT WAS THERE, UM, FOR WHATEVER REASON THAT BUSINESS DECIDED TO MOVE, MAYBE CUZ IT WASN'T ENOUGH TRAFFIC AND, AND YOU WANT TO TRY TO GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT.

UH, EITHER THE CASE, UH, THIS IS NOT, UM, THE DESIGNATED USE AT THIS PROPERTY.

IT'S ANOTHER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

WE, WE DO HAVE CONDITIONS IN PLACE THAT THE, UM, UH, THE LEASE HAS TO BE ABLE TO ABIDE BY.

UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS ON COUNCIL, UH, PLANNING IS ONLY, DIDN'T MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, UH, THAT, UH, I CONCUR WITH.

UH, SO THE FLOOR IS OPEN AND, UH, LET'S GO AHEAD AND TRY TO MAKE A, LET'S TRY TO MOVE THIS ITEM.

COUNCIL.

THE FLOOR IS OPEN.

MAYOR, WE'LL MAKE, UH, ONE COMMENT ABOUT THAT CENTER.

UH, OF COURSE I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN MCCURDY.

UH, THEY REALLY DO NEED TO, TO UPGRADE THAT, THAT CENTER.

BUT, UH, THERE WAS A, UH, A VAPE SHOP, NOT A TOBACCO SHOP, BUT A VAPE SHOP ALREADY IN THERE AT ONE TIME.

UH, THAT DIDN'T SURVIVE, YOU KNOW, SO, UH, UM, JUST, JUST, I'M NOT SURE WHETHER YOU ALL WERE AWARE OF THAT OR NOT.

SO, UH, I'M NOT SO SURE BASED ON THE LOCATION THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT WOULD BE EVEN, YOU KNOW, SUCCESSFUL IN MY MIND EITHER.

SO, UM, I, I'M NOT REAL EXCITED ABOUT IT EITHER.

I'M SITTING HERE THINKING MORE ABOUT, UH, WHAT THAT CENTER NEEDS TO DO TO UPGRADE THE TYPE OF CLIENTELE THAT WENT IN THERE.

SO, SO WE ARE NOT HERE TO, TO TALK TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS ABOUT WHAT WE THINK SHOULD GO THERE.

, WE, WE ARE HERE BEFORE US WITH THE, WITH THE CASE.

UM, SO, SO WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE, COUNSEL? ALL RIGHT, MAYOR, I, I'LL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DENY CASE NUMBER 7 2 0 23.

WE DO HAVE A MOTION FOR DENIAL.

UH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? YES, WE DO HAVE A SECOND.

UH, ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

UH HUH.

AND, UM, I'M, I'M, I'M IN OPPOSITION, SO WE DO SIX ONE.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

AND, UM, FEATURE SUCCESS IN, UH, IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS CASE NUMBER

UM, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT COME UP.

THANKS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER PD S P 5 51 2023? ANYONE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER PD S P 5 51 2023? GOOD EVENING, SIR.

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE AWARE.

I'M ROD TYLER.

I LIVE AT 10 40 SHERMAN, AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF THIS SITE PLAN.

AND I WANNA GO OVER THIS, AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU GIVING ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE SITE PLAN.

I DO RECOGNIZE, AND I HAVE READ THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE, AND I DO KNOW THAT THE PURPOSE OF THAT PD SITE PLAN IS MERELY TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY COMPLY WITH CITY CODES IF THE LAND USE HAS ALREADY BEEN DETERMINED THAT ORDINANCE HAS BEEN PASSED AND HAS BEEN APPROVED.

BUT WHAT I WANNA BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION, IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO DO IT WITH SO MANY ITEMS ON YOUR AGENDA, IS THAT THE SITE PLAN THAT THEY'RE ASKING YOU TO APPROVE TONIGHT,

[01:05:01]

I NEED TO BE AWARE THAT I LOOK AT IT AND I DON'T THINK THAT IT COMPLIES WITH YOUR REGULATIONS, AND I THINK I NEED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION.

THE FIRST THING THAT YOU NEED TO LOOK AT IS ON THE SITE PLAN THEY SUBMITTED, YOU HAVE A LIST OF ITEMS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO APPEAR ON A SITE PLAN.

AND ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS TO SHOW SURROUNDING BUILDINGS.

AND WHAT IS MISSING OUT OF THIS SITE PLAN IS THE SURROUNDS FOR ALL THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS.

IF THE SITE, THE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE IS LOCATED TO THE WEST OR TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THAT HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN.

AND THE REASON WHY THIS INFORMATION'S REQUIRED TO BE SHOWN IS IT ALLOWS YOU TO LOOK AT IT AND COMPARE IT AND, UH, SEE HOW IT FITS IN WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO THAT INFORMATION RIGHT THERE SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE SITE PLAN, AS WELL AS THE OTHER ADJUSTMENTS THAT'S MENTIONED BY STAFF BEFORE YOU APPROVE THIS SITE PLAN.

ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS SITE PLAN WITH THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, YOU CAN START TO SEE THAT THE BUILDINGS THAT THEY HAVE, SPECIFICALLY THE DUPLEXES, WHICH ARE ALONG THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE, HAVE MOVED NORTHWARD ABOUT 80 TO 90 FEET.

SO WHERE IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT THE PD CONCEPT PLAN, THE DUPLEX IS EXTENDED, UM, SOUTH OR, OR, UH, SOUTH OF THE REAR LINE OF THE REAR LINE OF THE HOUSE.

AND IN THE SITE PLAN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT AND COMPARE IT WITH THE EXISTING HOUSE, IT IS, UH, IN 20 FEET IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.

SO THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE BY DOING THAT ON THE PD, UH, THE PD CONCEPT PLAN THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PD ORDINANCE, IT'S A PART OF THAT ORDINANCE.

THAT CONCEPT PLAN SHOWS A TREE PRESERVATION AREA BETWEEN THE NORTH SIDE OF THESE DUPLEXES AND THEIR, UH, THEIR DOG PARK.

WELL, THE NEW SITE PLAN, SINCE IT SHIFTED THESE BUILDINGS FURTHER TO THE NORTH, THAT TREE PRESERVATION AREA IS NOW GONE.

ADDITIONALLY, ON THE TREE PRES ON THE PD CONCEPT PLAN, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE, UH, DOG PARK IS QUITE A BIT LARGER THAN WHAT IT SHOWS ON THIS SITE PLAN.

AND THAT GOES TO PRIVATE, UH, RECREATIONAL SPACE AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

BUT NONETHELESS, IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT.

THEY DO SHOW THE SCREENING WALL AND THE NEW TREES THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PLANT.

BUT I WANT TO BRING, BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT OF THE TWO, 2.5 ACRES OF TREES THAT WERE LOCATED IN THIS CORNER, THIS PLANT SHOWS THAT THEY, THEY INTEND TO SAVE 10 OF THEM.

AND THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS CONVEYED TO THE COUNCIL AT THE PRE AT THE ADOPTION OF THIS ORDINANCE IN MY, WHEN I WAS HERE, ONE OF, UH, THE, UH, THE ADDITION OF THESE, UH, BY, BY SAVING ONLY THESE 10 TREES, ONE THING THAT NEEDS TO BE IMMEDIATE BE AWARE OF IS THERE ARE STAFF COMMENTS REGARDING AN EASEMENT NEEDING TO BE 20 FEET.

WELL, THIS EASEMENT, UH, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SAY THE 10, UH, 10 TREES THAT THEY PROMISED SIMPLY BECAUSE IT MAY BE, IT MAY INTERFERE WITH THIS EASEMENT.

SO THAT MAY NOT BE EXACTLY TRUE.

THAT'S WHY THE INFORMATION THEY SHOW AND THEY PROVIDE NEEDS TO BE TRUE AND ACCURATE SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY EVALUATE THIS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

UH, NEXT, UH, ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO S P 5 51 2023.

ANYONE ELSE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO A CASE NUMBER PD S P 5 51 2023? NOT SEE ANYONE APPROACH.

I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UM, COUNCIL, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? COUNCILWOMAN DANIELS? YOU PUSHED A RED BUTTON.

WE CAN'T HEAR YOU ON THE, ON VIRTUAL.

TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT USER.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE HIGH RISE WILL BE GATED, BUT MY CONCERN IS WHAT TYPE OF STORES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE NEARBY? SURE.

UM, THE SENIORS GATED.

SURE.

SO A PART OF THE SITE PLAN APPLICATION IS THE FIRST RETAIL BUILDING, WHICH IS ABOUT 7,100 SQUARE FEET.

SO WE'RE PLANNING ON BUILDING THAT AT THE SAME TIME OF THE ACTIVE ADULT DEVELOPMENT.

UH, WE'RE STILL EVALUATING TENANTS, WE'RE ACTIVELY MARKETING THAT PROPERTY AND

[01:10:01]

UM, WE WOULD LOVE A RESTAURANT THERE.

UM, WE'RE ACTIVELY TRYING TO FIND SOMEBODY.

UM, IT'S HARD TO SAY EXACTLY WHO WE FILL IT UP WITH.

WE'VE DESIGNED IT FOR A SIZE THAT WE THINK WE CAN MARKET TO EITHER MULTIPLE TENANTS OR HOPEFULLY A SINGLE TENANT.

SO IT'S TO BE DETERMINED WHO THAT TENANT'S GONNA BE.

SO YOU WON'T HAVE ANY TYPE STORES THAT, CUZ YOU GOT YOUR SENIORS THERE.

YES, MA'AM.

AND I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE FLUX OF PEOPLE THAT WILL BE COMING TO YOUR SHOPS.

SO NO CLUBS OR NOTHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT? NO, MA'AM.

UM, WE HAVE, UM, A PRETTY STANDARD ZONING DESIGNATION FOR RETAIL AT THAT LOCATION.

SO ANY NOXIOUS USES LIKE THAT WOULD, WOULDN'T FLY.

UM, WE WOULDN'T, YOU KNOW, WE PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE ANY INTEREST IN A TENANT MIX LIKE THAT.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A HIGH QUALITY TENANT MIX.

UM, WE WE'RE REALLY ENCOURAGED BY THE FRONTAGE, UH, COMMERCIAL LAND THERE.

SO IT, UH, WE'RE INCENTIVIZED TO HAVE A GOOD TENANT MIX BECAUSE WE WANT OUR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT TO DO WELL, AND WE WANT THE RETAIL TO DO WELL.

SO, NO, WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING FOR, UH, HIGHER QUALITY USERS THAN THAT.

THANK YOU COUNCILWOMAN.

UH, COUNCIL MCCURDY, UM, YOU HAVE SEEN ALL OF THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE, IN IN THE STAFF REPORT? YES, SIR.

I, I WOULD READ 'EM OFF, BUT THERE'S A PRETTY EXTENSIVE LIST.

SO YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THEM AND, AND ARE, ARE YOU OKAY WITH COMPLYING WITH ALL OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT'S PROVIDED BY STAFF? YES, SIR.

UH, STAFF HAS BEEN FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH.

UM, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH, A LOT OF COLLABORATION AND WE'RE ON BOARD WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS.

I KNOW THE SUBMITTAL PROCESS HAS, HAS CHANGED, UH, SIGNIFICANTLY THANKS TO OUR, OUR FRIENDS DOWN IN AUSTIN .

AND, AND, AND SO, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THESE THINGS WOULD NORMALLY HAVE BEEN CLEARED UP BEFORE THIS EVER CAME TO, UH, TO OUR PLANNING AND ZONING OR, OR TO, OR TO COUNSEL.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT YOU'RE OKAY.

CAUSE WE'RE GONNA APPROVE IF WE, IF IT'S APPROVED, IT WOULD BE APPROVED WITH A, WITH A LOT OF ADDITIONAL, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONDITIONS.

WE'RE GOING IN, UH, EYES WIDE OPEN.

AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN COLLABORATING CLOSELY AND WE'RE COMFORTABLE.

UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENT, PRO TEAM.

THANK YOU, UH, DIRECTED TO THE CITY MANAGER.

THE, THE, THE, UH, FOR THE RECORD, DO I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL ON THIS PARTICULAR? THAT'S CORRECT.

THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS, UH, FOR APPROVAL WITH THE CONDITIONS NOTED.

UM, CUSTOMER GLOVER.

THANK, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THIS, THIS COMMENT IS FOR PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT STAFF.

I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.

I KNOW THAT WE ARE UNDER PERSON AND, UM, AS WE WERE GROWING AS A CITY, WE HAVE ALL MANY CHALLENGES.

AND I JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK BECAUSE THIS CHALLENGE, THIS IS CHALLENGING FOR OUR TEAM AS IT IS, AND BEING ONE PERSON DOWN, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE HOW, UH, IT IS TO, NOT ONLY TO PROCESS THIS, BUT ALL THE OTHER GREAT THINGS WE HAVE IN THE SYSTEM.

SO JUST, UH, FROM ME TO YOU, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM COUNSEL COUNCIL HAYDEN? YEAH, MAYOR, I'LL JUST MAKE A COMMENT ON IT FOR THE DEVELOPER.

YOU KNOW, I REALIZE, AND, AND, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, WHEN YOU COME TO THE COUNCIL WITH A, UH, A CONCEPT PLAN, UM, AND IN, OF COURSE REQUESTING THE ZONING CHANGE AND DOING THE PD, YOU GAVE US A CONCEPT PLAN.

WELL, I ALSO KNOW THAT THAT CONCEPT PLAN ISN'T SET IN STONE BECAUSE YOU STILL GOTTA GET OUT THERE AND FIGURE OUT WHERE THINGS ARE GONNA BE AND HOW IT'S GONNA FIT AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

SO AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL OF YOUR, YOUR, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING AND STUFF LIKE THAT, YOU COME UP WITH, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU HAVE NOW.

SO I KNOW THERE'S A DISTINCTION BETWEEN EACH ONE, AND YOU CAN'T EXPECT, YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THAT, UH, OR YOU CAN'T EXPECT THE, UH, CONCEPTUAL PLAN TO BE EXACTLY LIKE WHAT IT GONNA BE TILL YOU GET IN THERE AND SEE IN THE WEED, SO TO SPEAK, AND SEE ALL WHAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

SO, SO THANK YOU FOR GOING THROUGH ALL THAT EXTRA EFFORTS.

TO ELIMINATE POTENTIAL HIGH RISE, YOU KNOW, OVERLOOKS.

UM, LIKE YOU SAID, THE CONCEPT PLAN IS CONCEPTUAL.

UM, WHEN WE GET IN, THERE'S JUST SO MANY MOVING PIECES, UM, THAT, UM, WHERE YOU END UP IN DESIGN AND WHERE EXACTLY THE BUILDINGS ARE PLACED.

UM, I WILL SAY THAT THIS PROCESS FROM THE INITIAL CONCEPT TO WHERE WE ENDED UP IS, UH, REMARKABLY CLOSE.

IT'S PROBABLY THE CLOSEST WE EVER HAVE HAD FROM INITIAL CONCEPT TO, UH, THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN AS IS.

UM, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT.

THANKS.

BUT, AND I ALSO REALIZED TOO THAT, UH, BASED ON SOME OF THE OPPOSITION AND SO FORTH, THAT YOU DID TAKE THE LIBERTY TO MOVE AND PUT THE, THE, UH, DUPLEXES, UH, RIGHT BEHIND THE SUBDIVISIONS AND SO FORTH

[01:15:01]

SO, SO I NOTICED THAT YOU MADE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS TOO, SO YES, SIR.

UM, THE, YOU KNOW, WE BELIEVE THERE'S ADEQUATE SCREEN SCREENING.

UH, WE'RE COMPLYING WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS, THE LANDSCAPING.

UM, I DO BELIEVE WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO SAVE A LOT OF TREES.

WE WANT TO, WE WANT IT TO BE GREEN.

UM, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE AMENITIES OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND, YOU KNOW, I COULD LIST THEM OFF AND, BUT I'M SURE YOU GUYS WILL SEE MORE SOON.

UH, BUT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

UH, COUNCILMAN, UH, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? YES, SIR.

NO, UH, BE BEFORE A MOTION.

DO YOU GO ABOUT TO MAKE A MOTION? I WAS, UH, BEFORE YOUR MOTION, UM, I GUESS A COUPLE, COUPLE COMMENTS I HAVE, UM, CAN YOU PULL UP SITE PLAN WHILE, WHILE SHE'S DOING THAT? I, I KNOW YOU JUST MENTIONED ABOUT, UM, YOU'RE GONNA SAVE SOME TREES, BUT HAS THE, UM, THE AMOUNT OF TREES CHANGED FROM WHEN WE MET, UM, YOU KNOW, THE LAST TIME TO, TO THIS SITE PLAN OR, UM, THE AMOUNT OF TREES IN THE CONCEPT PLAN VERSUS THE SITE PLAN AS IT RELATES TO THE COMMENT THAT WAS MADE EARLIER DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING? SO POTENTIALLY IF, IF YOU WANTED TO GO TO THE INITIAL CONCEPT PLAN, UM, AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE, JUST THE, THE SHEER MASS OF THAT, YOU KNOW, THE, THAT, THAT BIG AREA OF HACKBERRIES THAT ARE ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY, AND WE, WE SHOW THE DARK PARK KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE THROUGHOUT THE TREES.

UM, YOU KNOW, I I I DO THINK THAT WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GONNA HAVE AS MANY TREES ON THAT NORTHWEST CORNER AS WE, WHICH, WHICH YOU SAID CONCEPT PLAN, THERE'S NOT A OPTION JUST IN THE PD, INITIAL PD, UM, CONCEPT PLAN.

IT'S NOT IN THERE.

IT'S, IT'S IN THE SEPTEMBER 27TH, UH, COUNCIL MEETING.

YEAH, WE SEND IT OVER.

WE SENT OVER A, A PRESENTATION THIS AFTERNOON, UM, WHERE WE COULD LOOK AT IT.

WELL, UM, I, I GUESS I'LL, I'LL TEST YOUR MEMORY.

MY QUESTION WAS MORE ON THE, IF YOU'RE COMING DOWN HIGHWAY 67, UM, AND I CAN'T TELL, BUT IF YOU DRIVE IN THAT OFFICE 67 AND YOU PULL INTO THE PROPERTY, THERE'S SAYING THERE'S A, THERE'S A GATE, BUT IT'S FOR EXIT ONLY.

BUT I WAS SAYING IF YOU'RE ON THE, IF YOU'RE ON THE SERVICE ROAD, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT A, UH, AN ENTRANCE TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO THE PROPERTY WHEN YOU'RE ON THE SERVICE ROAD? GOING SOUTHBOUND? YEAH.

IF YOU'RE GOING SOUTHBOUND.

IT APPEARS THAT ONCE YOU GET INTO THE, ONCE YOU, ONCE YOU DRIVE ONTO THE ACCESS ROAD, OR NO, THE ACCESS ROAD, ONCE YOU DRIVE ON, I GUESS I GOTTA SHOW THE MAP .

BUT ANYWAY, THERE'S A GATE THAT'S SAYING EXIT ONLY, BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY OWN THE PROPERTY, BUT IF YOU ARE ON THE SOUTHBOUND ROAD, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW NOT TO GO IN THAT WAY? YOU HAVE TO GO IN ON WIN GREEN.

THAT'S MY QUESTION, BUT I GUESS I TO SHOW THE MAP.

YEAH, WE'LL SEE.

I WANNA GIVE YOU A GOOD ANSWER.

UM, OKAY.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

I MEAN, BUT TO ADDRESS ACCESS, YOU KNOW, WE WE'RE GONNA HAVE ACCESS AT BOTH ON 67 AND WINTERGREEN.

SO IN THE EVENT THAT SOMEONE MISSED THE INITIAL ACCESS POINT OKAY.

THEY'D BE ABLE TO TURN ONTO WINTERGREEN AND ACCESS THE PROPERTY FROM THERE.

ON, ON, ON THE SITE PLAN.

IT, IT, IT'S, IT IS, YOU KNOW, WELL ACTUALLY, ACTUALLY GET ONTO THE PROPERTY.

IT HAS A GATE AND IT SAYS EXIT ONLY.

SO, UM, BUT I, I'LL I'LL SHOW YOU ON THERE.

ON WHAT WE HAVE.

SO CAN YOU GUYS SEE THAT? YEAH.

GREAT.

SO THE, UM, AS YOU'LL SEE ON THE CONCEPT PLAN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN, THE COTTAGES DID MOVE SOMEWHAT NORTH.

UM, WE ENDED UP ACTUALLY ONLY GOING WITH SEVEN COTTAGES.

VERSE UM, VERSE EIGHT.

WE REALIZED THAT THAT FAR EAST COTTAGE BUILDING, THERE'S ACTUALLY AN EASEMENT WHERE WE HAVE TO JOG O THE WALL DOWN AND, AND OVER.

I'M SURE YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE SITE PLAN THAT WE DISCOVERED WHEN WE WERE GETTING DEEPER IN DESIGN.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF SHIFTING AROUND TO MAKE THE, THE, UH, THE DRIVES WORK.

UM, SO WE HAD TO LOSE A COTTAGE, UNFORTUNATELY.

AND THAT ROW OF COTTAGES TO THE WEST HAS MOVED NORTH.

YOU KNOW, I I, I COULDN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY HOW MUCH, BUT IT MIGHT BE 50, 60 FEET.

SO THE SING, THE, THE, THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME THERE THAT YOU SEE ON THE WEST, IT'S THE COTTAGES NOW ARE BASICALLY RIGHT UP AGAINST TO LIKE LINE UP DIRECTLY THERE AS A VISUAL.

THE DOG PARK

[01:20:01]

HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY.

AND YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE TREES THAT YOU'RE SEEING THAT ARE DIRECTLY NORTH OF THOSE BUILDINGS ARE UNFORTUNATELY GONNA HAVE TO GO.

UM, AGAIN, WE'RE GONNA MAINTAIN AS MANY AS WE CAN.

UM, THOSE AREN'T PROTECTED TREES WHATSOEVER, AND WE'RE COMPLYING WITH THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE CODE, UM, THAT'S DESIGNATED IN THE PD.

OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

UM, COULD, COULD WE GO TO THE, UM, SITE PLAN? DID YOU PULL THAT UP YET, MADAM SECRETARY? YES.

UH, I GUESS, YEAH, IF YOU COME DOWN, SCROLL DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

THAT ENTRANCE COMING SOUTHBOUND ON, ON HIGHWAY 67, AND THEN YOU DRIVE INTO THAT DRIVEWAY THERE.

CAN YOU USE YOUR, CAN YOU USE YOUR MOUSE CURSOR? OH, YOU'RE SAYING TO ENSURE THAT TRAFFIC NO, NO.

IS NOT NO, NO, NO, NO.

YEAH, IF YOU GO, YEAH, GO TO THE DRIVEWAY, GO, YEAH, RIGHT THERE.

NO, NO, NO.

WRITE YOUR MOUSE.

SEE IT SAYS VEHICULAR GATE EXIT ONLY.

I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A GATE THERE.

YOU KNOW, THE, THE TRAFFIC COMING ON SOUTHBOUND IS NOT GONNA KNOW THAT THAT'S AN EXIT OVER, RIGHT? YEAH.

I MEAN, WE'RE, WE WOULD HAVE TO HANDLE IT WITH, UM, WITH SIGNAGE.

UM, IN THE EVENT THAT THE, SOMEONE DID TURN ON THAT ROAD, I GUESS THEY COULD THREE POINT TURN OUT, BUT THAT DOESN'T SOUND OVERLY SAFE, SO WE'D PROBABLY HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A CIRCULATION THERE.

UM, IT'S A GOOD POINT.

UM, IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CONSIDERED, FRANKLY.

BUT IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ADDRESS.

WELL, I THOUGHT THE INTENT WAS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE TWO ACCESS TO GO TO THE PROPERTY, BUT YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT NO, I MEAN THAT, THAT IT WOULD, IT WOULD CREATE, UM, WELL, THE IDEA WAS TO CREATE A SECURE, UM, DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE WERE TRYING TO JUST HAVE ONE POINT OF ACCESS AND HAVE BOTH OTHER SIDES GATED OFF.

BUT IN THE EVENT THAT SOMEONE DID COME SOUTHBOUND TO ENTER, I, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, EITHER YOU COULD CONNECT THE ROAD WHERE, WHERE YOU SEE IF THEY DID GO UP THAT, THAT ROAD AND CONNECT IT TO THE RETAIL AS YOU SEE IN THAT SORT OF, UH, THAT DESIGNATED EASEMENT AREA WHERE THERE'S ALREADY GONNA BE A RETAIL DRIVE FOR THE FUTURE RETAIL CONNECTIONS, OR YOU JUST OPEN THAT UP FOR A TWO-WAY, UM, VEHICULAR ENTRANCE AND EXIT, WHICH WE, WE CERTAINLY COULD DO.

SO YEAH, THAT, THAT PROBABLY IS A SOLUTION JUST TO MAKE THAT ANOTHER ENTRY POINT AS OPPOSED TO A VEHICULAR, UH, EXIT ONLY, YOU KNOW, I, I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I JUST SEE THAT THE WAY THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, PRESENTED BEFORE US TODAY, THAT JUST DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, SEEM VERY THOUGHT OUT.

BUT I'LL JUST PLEASE TAKE THAT TO YOUR TEAM SURE.

AND JUST TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST SOLUTION.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT ANSWER IS.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SIGNAGE CUZ YOU KNOW, IN THE, IN THE EVENING, LATE EVENING TIME, I DON'T THINK PEOPLE PROBABLY MISSED THE SIGNAGE, RIGHT? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

SO ANYWAY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU GOT SOME, SOME, SOME GOOD RETAIL THERE AND PEOPLE JUST WANT TO GET, GET ACCESS TO IT.

SO ANYWAY, JUST PLEASE CONSIDER THAT.

SURE.

UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT REALLY STUCK OUT TO ME.

UH, THANKS FOR ADDRESSING THE, UH, THE, THE QUESTION FROM THE CONCEPT PLAN TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

UM, YOUR COMMITMENT IS TO BE ABLE TO SAVE AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE.

UM, BUT I'M SURE YOU, YOU'LL GET WITH STAFF AND, AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA VIOLATE, UH, OUR, OUR PRESERVATION ORDINANCES ESSENTIALLY.

UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM COUNSEL? ALL RIGHT.

UH, WITH THAT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ENTER THE MOTION.

ALL RIGHT, MR. MAYER, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE CASE NUMBER PD S P 5 51 20 23 WITH ALL OF THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS AS LISTED FROM THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
