THIS OP, THIS GIVES OPPORTUNITIES FOR ANYONE TO SPEAK, UH, FOR ANY SUBJECT OF MATTER THEY WANNA TALK ABOUT.

UH, ITEMS THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

OF COURSE, COUNSEL CANNOT TALK ABOUT OR DELIBERATE.

UH, SO I DO, I DO NOT HAVE ANY ONLINE, UH, COUNSEL, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHECK YOUR INBOX FOR THAT.

UH, BUT I DO HAVE A FEW THAT IS IN PERSON.

UM, WHAT'S THAT? UH, ? OH, YES.

NO.

UH, FOR CITIZENS FORM, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ONLINE.

YES, SIR.

UH, FIRST IS, UH, I'D LIKE TO BEGIN WITH, UH, MR. WEST POOL.

HIS SUBJECT IS DART, UH, PROJECTS, UH, RAILROAD TUNNELS, EAST BELTLINE ROAD, RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS.

I BELIEVE YOU SAID DART PROJECTS OR DART PROSPECT? I COULDN'T TELL, BUT DART PROSPECTS PROSPECT, SORRY.

YOU CAN'T READ .

LOOK, IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I COULDN'T GOT THAT.

MR. POOL, IF YOU COULD PLEASE GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

UH, WEST POOL, SIX 15 EAST BELTLINE ROAD, UH, CEDAR HILL.

UM, ON MY QUICK THREE MINUTES, I GOT, UH, I WANTED TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION, AND SOME OF YOU, I'M SURE YOU KNOW, UH, ALREADY KNOW THIS, UH, DART UH, HAD TWO MAJOR PROJECTS THAT THEY GOT FUNDING FOR.

ARE FINE, I WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, HOW WE CAN, YOU KNOW, GET IN LINE TO COME TO CEDAR HILL AND MIDLOTHIAN AND, AND UM, UH, DUNCANVILLE.

ONE OF THEM WAS THE COTTON BELT, WHICH GOES FROM SHILOH ROAD BACK BEHIND, UH, PLANO, SOUTHERN PART OF PLANO.

AND OH, IT ENDS UP, ADDISON FINALLY IS GONNA GET A, A RAIL STATION AFTER, YOU KNOW, DECADES OF PAYING IN.

BUT, UM, THAT WAS ONE PROJECT.

OKAY? ANOTHER ONE THAT GOT APPROVED WAS THE $2 BILLION FROM THE FEDS THAT, UM, WAS GOING TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER TUNNEL.

THERE'S A TUNNEL NOW THAT IF ANY OF YOU RIDE THE, THE RED LINE, WHICH I GO TO ASMU GAME SOMETIMES AND I'LL RIDE THAT, YOU'LL GO IN ONE TUNNEL AND IT POPS OUT ON LIKE MONTICELLO BACK THERE BEFORE YOU GET TO THE, UM, MOCKINGBIRD STATION.

AND THEN IT GOES BACK DOWN AND POPS UP AGAIN.

SOMEBODY CAN CORRECT ME, I THINK DOWN NEAR REUNION, UH, YOU KNOW, STATION.

BUT THE SECOND TUNNEL WAS GONNA BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE ON YOUNG STREET, UM, NEAR THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

AND, AND, BUT IT WAS, THEY NEEDED IT, THEY SAID, AND SO $2 BILLION, WELL, THE OTHER DAY THEY SAID, WELL, UM, WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER TUNNEL, THE SECOND TUNNEL ON THE SOUTH BRUNT.

OKAY? AND SO MY ACUTE, YOU KNOW, INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW, RIGHT? LIKE ME.

SO I THOUGHT, WELL, OKAY, YOU ARE NOT YOU, YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE TO USE YOUR $2 BILLION.

WELL, OKAY, YOU'RE JUST GONNA GIVE IT BACK TO THE FEDS AND THEN IF YOU

[00:10:01]

AND SO I JUST, UH, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHY, UH, WE COULD, THIS, WHAT I'M GETTING TO IS WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO WITH THE MONEY? AND SO IS CLEVELAND GONNA GET IT? IS HOUSTON GONNA GET IT? YOU CAN REST ASSURED THEY'RE NOT GONNA JUST TURN IT BACK AND GIVE IT BACK TO, I DON'T SEE 'EM RETURNING IT ON ANYBODY'S INCOME TAX.

SO THE POINT IS, I'M THINKING THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO FIND OUT IF THERE'S MONEY THERE TO GIVE US STUDIES AND THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA NEED TO GO FORWARD.

WE HAVE THE LAND ACCORDING TO THE, SOME OF THE PLANNING THAT I WAS INVOLVED WITH ON THE PROPERTY, UM, YOU KNOW, YEAH, I'M, I'M SORRY.

WE TIME'S UP.

HOW MUCH MONEY? YOU SAID THEY RETURNED, YOU SAID 10,000,002.

2 MILLION, 2 BILLION.

I, I GOT IT.

THANK, THANK YOU, WESS.

THANK YOU FOR YES, SIR.

TALKING ABOUT DART AND COMPLIMENTS.

I'LL TAKE THAT OF NEXT CITIZEN WHO WANTS TO SPEAK IS DR.

DEBORAH HAWTHORNE WINE AND WORDS, COME ON DOWN, PLEASE GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS.

AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES, DR.

DEBORAH HAN, 6 1 7 REDBUD COURT, CEDAR HILL.

SO THIS IS A POSTSCRIPT ON THE WINE AND WORDS.

WE HAD A TERRIFIC EVENT HERE ON FRIDAY, RESUMING THE WINE AND WORDS PROGRAM THAT THE LIBRARY STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

WE HAD AN ENERGETIC SPEAKER, UH, MARIA, UH, MELANIA LUISA MARTA, WHO READ POEMS UNIQUE TO HER WORLDVIEW AND EXPERIENCE.

AND IT ISN'T OFTEN THAT WE GET TAKEN AWAY BY SOMEONE ELSE'S PERSPECTIVE ON THEIR LIFE.

VERY DIFFERENT FROM OUR, OUR OWN IN SOME WAYS, BUT STILL EXPRESSING A COMMON BOND AMONG US ALL.

WE HAD A TERRIFIC JAZZ QUINTET, THE CHRISTIAN VALDEZ, UH, COMPANY WHO, UH, PLAY NATIONWIDE.

AND JUST A NOTE FOR THOSE THAT WERE HERE, SHE ASKED TO HAVE THEM PLAY DURING HER LAST POEM.

SO IT WASN'T THE, THE BAND EDGING HER OUT.

THE FOOD WAS PRESENTED BY GRAZING DALLAS, AND IT WAS DELECTABLE AS I HAD PROMISED, ESPECIALLY SINCE PATRICK LOPEZ OWNS THE BUSINESS AND HE'S A GRADUATE OF CEDAR HILL HIGH SCHOOL.

ALL THE WINE WAS GRACIOUSLY DONATED BY GOODIE GOODIE.

BUT TONIGHT, I'VE COME TO TELL YOU, I VERY, VERY MUCH APPRECIATED THE MAYOR, THE COUNCIL PEOPLE, THE DEPUTY CITY MANAGER FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ATTENDANCE AT THIS FRIENDS EVENT.

IT WAS VERY GRACIOUS FOR YOU TO LET US HAVE THE ATRIUM AND THE PATIO FOR OUR, OUR EVENT.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING THERE AND SUPPORTING US AND FOR ALLOWING US TO USE THAT SPACE.

AND THE EVENT WAS PUT TOGETHER WITH VERY FEW PEOPLE, UH, BUT I ANTICIPATE MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL JOIN THE FRIENDS OF THE TINE HICKMAN LIBRARY WHEN IT OPENS NEXT YEAR.

SO YOU ALL CAN ANTICIPATE MANY MORE EVENTS THAT WE WILL PUT TOGETHER ON AN EVEN LARGER SCALE AND INCLUDING THE WINE AND WORDS.

SO JUST TO GIVE YOU THE, I GUESS POSTMORTEM IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT WE HAD, UH, 70 ATTENDEES, THAT WAS OUR TARGET.

SO WE HIT THAT AND WE GROSSED JUST SO, JUST SHY OF $7,000.

SO I THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR SUPPORTING

[00:15:01]

IT, AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR WHEN WE WILL DO IT AGAIN.

GREAT.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.

AND I BELIEVE I HAVE ONE MORE COUNSEL.

UM, I BELIEVE IT'S GAIL SIMS. IS GAIL SIMS HERE? YES, IT'S OUR PRESIDENT, TRUSTEE GAIL SIMS. HER TOPIC IS THANKS.

THANKS.

I'M HERE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE CEDAR HILL, ISD, AND OUR SUPERINTENDENT GERALD HUDSON, TO GIVE MY PROFOUND THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN HELPING US GETTING THAT VADER PASSED.

WE APPRECIATE THAT SO, SO MUCH.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO CITY MANAGER GREG PORTER AND HIS STAFF FOR WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES WITH THE DISTRICT STAFF IN ORDER TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT THERE AND TO LET PEOPLE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS WAS FOR OUR DISTRICT GOING FORWARD.

WE APPRECIATE THIS SO, SO MUCH.

WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON IN THE DISTRICT.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT IN EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING.

BY THE WAY, OUR FOOTBALL TEAM IS IN THE DISTRICT FINALS AND WE'RE STARTING OUR BASKETBALL SEASON.

AND IF YOU MISSED IT, CHANNEL 11, ROBBIE OWENS CAME DOWN TO DO A SPECIAL REPORT ON PASSING THE VADER.

SHE IS A, SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARE CITIZENS HERE AND THEY APPRECIATED IT SO MUCH.

SHE CAME DOWN AND DID A SPECIAL BROADCAST HERE IN CEDAR HILL.

I'M PASSING THE VADER.

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

HEARING, UH, CASE NUMBER PD 5 6 9 2023, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AN APPLICATION TO AMEND PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 9 5 20 LAKERIDGE DESIGNATED FOR SFE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT WITH MINIMUM ONE ACRE, LOTS TO PERMIT FENCING FROM THE FRONTLINE, UH, OF THE HOUSE TO THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY FOR A LOT.

ALRIGHT, WELL COUNSEL THAT IS, UM, ALL OF OUR CITIZENS WHO WISH TO SPEAK BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

SO WITH THAT, I MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.

COUNSEL, ARE THERE ANY ITEMS, PUBLIC HEARING, OH, I'M SORRY, I SKIPPED SOMETHING.

I'M SORRY.

PUBLIC

[a. Case No. PD-569-2023 – Conduct a public hearing and consider an application to amend Planned Development District No. 95-210 [Lake Ridge], designated for “SF-E” (Single-Family Residential District with minimum 1- acre lots), to permit fencing from the front line of the house to the public right-of-way for Lot 169 of the Lake Ridge Addition, Section 3, generally located on the north side of South Lakeview Drive, northwest of Sonterra Drive, with the approximate address being 2853 South Lakeview Drive. Applicant/Property Owner: Peterick Fuller, The PF Family Trust .]

1 69 OF THE LAKE RIDGE EDITION, SECTION THREE JUNIOR, LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SOUTH LAKEVIEW DRIVE, NORTHWEST OF SANTARA DRIVE, WITH THE APPROXIMATE ADDRESS BEING 2 8 5 3 SOUTH LAKEVIEW DRIVE, APPLICANT PROPERTY OWNER, UH, PETRICK, UH, PETER, RICK, UH, FULLER, UH, THE PF FAMILY TRUST.

UM, YOU KNOW, I, I DIDN'T ASK, UM, BUT WE DON'T NEED TO, UM, REMOVE IT FROM THE TABLE OR NOTHING.

WE JUST JUST DO IT LIKE THAT.

UM, SO, UH, COUNSEL, WE DID, UH, YOU KNOW, HEAR FROM THIS, UM, YOU KNOW, HEAR THIS CASE ONCE, UM, ALLOWING ME THE PREFACE IF I COULD, UM, YOU KNOW, COUNSEL, THIS HAS BEEN ON MY HEART SINCE THE LAST, UM, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL MEETING, BUT, UH, DURING THE LAST TIME WHEN WE WAS DELIBERATING, UM, SOMEHOW WE WENT FROM BEING DELIBERATE TO BEING DESIGNERS, , UM, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL, WE'RE NOT HERE TO HELP, YOU KNOW, AN ADVOCATE, YOU KNOW, DESIGN, YOU KNOW, A CASE.

UH, WE ARE SIMPLY HERE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE CASE, BE ABLE TO TRY TO DELIBERATE AND THEN MAKE DECISIONS.

SO, YOU KNOW, I I DO WANT TO SAY I APOLOGIZE.

I THINK I KIND OF, YOU KNOW, STARTED THAT PROCESS, UH, BY ASKING QUESTIONS.

I JUST, I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES.

UM, AND THEN IT WENT ON TO, YOU KNOW, TRY TO TELL THE APPLICANT OF, OF WHAT TO DO.

SO I JUST WANNA PREFACE IT, YOU KNOW, COUNSEL, OUR CHARGE TONIGHT, UH, IS TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, HEAR THIS CASE, YOU KNOW, ASK, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER TYPE OF QUESTIONS THAT, UH, UH, YOU HAVE FOR YOUR DUE DILIGENCE, YOUR RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN, AND THEN, UH, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, HAVE ACTION.

UH, THE COUNSEL, THIS CASE DID, UH, FAIL WITH PLANNING AND ZONING.

THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD TONIGHT, IT WILL HAVE TO HAVE A SUPER MAJORITY.

SO, WITH THAT COUNCIL, UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

OH YEAH, THERE IS PUBLIC HEARING, YES.

SO COUNCIL, LEMME GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP TO THE, UM, UH,

[00:20:01]

FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, IS THERE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER PD 5 6 9 2023? ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER, UM, 5 6 9 2023? PLEASE COME ON UP, SIR.

UH, PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS, UM, AND LET US KNOW IF YOU'RE IN FAVOR IN OPPOSITION.

UH, MADAM SECRETARY, FIVE MINUTES PLEASE.

UH, MY NAME IS PATRICK DALE.

I'M AT 1112 PROSPERITY IN LAKERIDGE.

I AM THE LAKERIDGE, POA PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT.

WE HAVE, UH, SEVEN BOARD MEMBERS, AND I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD, AND WE ARE THE ONES THE BOARD APPROVED, UH, THE APPLICATION, WHICH IS ON PAGE 20 OF YOUR PACKET.

AND IF I COULD ASK YOUR STAFF TO BRING UP THAT APPROVAL WHILE I BRING UP ANOTHER SUBJECT, BECAUSE IT'S IN THE MATERIALS THAT YOU SENT OUT OR INCLUDED ON YOUR WEBSITE.

YOU HAVE OUR APPROVAL LETTER.

SO IF I COULD ASK SOMEBODY TO BRING THAT UP ONTO THE SCREEN.

I BELIEVE IT'S ON PAGE 20 OF THE PDF FILE.

AND YOU WANT US, YOU WANT US TO BRING IT TO ON THE SCREEN FOR WHAT PURPOSE? I IT'LL BE CLEAR ONCE YOU SEE THE APPROVAL ON THE SCREEN.

PROPERTY CODE, WE HAD NO CHOICE.

SO, UH, WHILE, WHILE SOMEBODY IS BRINGING THAT ON THE SCREEN, UM, I'M GONNA GO TALK ABOUT TEXAS PROPERTY CODE.

THERE WAS UPDATED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021.

SO TEXAS PROPERTY CODE IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION OF LAKERIDGE.

WE HAVE TO LIVE BY TEXAS PROPERTY CODE.

THERE IS A SECTION OF TEXAS PROPERTY CODE 2 0 2 THAT WAS UPDATED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021.

THE UPDATE WAS AN AD OF A PARAGRAPH ON SECURITY MEASURES.

WHAT IT SAID IS THAT A PROPERTY OWNER'S ORGAN, A PROPERTY OWNER'S ASSOCIATION, A RESTRICTED COVENANT THAT CANNOT, THAT PREVENTS A PROPERTY OWNER'S ASSOCIATION, MAY NOT ADOPT OR ENFORCE A RESTRICTED COVENANT THAT PREVENTS A PROPERTY OWNER FROM BUILDING OR INSTALLING SECURITY MEASURES.

YOU'RE ALMOST THERE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO SECURITY CAMERAS, MOTION DETECTORS, OR PERIMETER FENCING.

RIGHT? SO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO DECADES, IT, IT'S FUR FURTHER DOWN.

WHO'S AT THE SCREEN? UH, BELINDA? YEAH, YOU, YOU'RE AT PAGE 27.

YOU WANT TO BE AT PAGE 20.

SO I, WHAT WE HAD TO LOOK AT WITH MR. FULLER'S APPLICATION IS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO DECADES, WE HAD TO APPROVE FENCING IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE WE COULD NOT ENFORCE OUR COVENANTS.

SO IT IS NOT, BECAUSE LAKERIDGE IS IN SUPPORT OF, AND LAKERIDGE WANTS PEOPLE TO BUILD THINGS IN THEIR FRONT YARDS, WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO BY TEXAS PROPERTY CODE.

WE CANNOT ENFORCE OUR COVENANTS.

SO OUR ONLY CHOICE WAS TO APPROVE.

TEXAS PROPERTY CODE GIVES US THE ABILITY TO SPECIFY THE MATERIALS.

YOU'RE CLOSE.

THAT'S PAGE 17.

SO GO TO 20.

NOW HERE'S THE APPROVAL.

SO WHAT WE DID WITH MR. FULLER IS WE DESCRIBED THE FENCE AS IT WAS APPROVED.

SO IT DESCRIBES A FENCE THAT HAS STUCCO COLUMNS AND WHAT THE DIMENSIONS ARE.

AND IT DESCRIBES A WROUGHT IRON FENCE BETWEEN THE COLUMNS.

AND IF YOU GO UP JUST A LITTLE BIT, IT SAYS THAT THAT APPROVAL IS CONTINGENT UPON COMPLETION OF THE SPECIFICATION SET FORTH IN THE APPROVED APPLICATION.

IF ANY MODIFICATIONS ARE MADE TO THE ORIGINAL REQUEST, RESUBMISSION OF THE MODIFICATION IS REQUIRED.

SO IN PAGE SIX OF THE MATERIALS THAT YOU HAVE HERE, IT SAYS, AND I'LL QUOTE FROM PAGE SIX, IT'S THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS.

IT SAYS THE APPLICANT IS NO LONGER PROPOSING WROUGHT IRON FENCING BETWEEN THE COLUMNS.

IF THAT IS TRUE, AND I DON'T KNOW IT TO BE TRUE BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT HEARD THAT FROM THE APPLICANT.

IF THAT IS TRUE, THAT LETTER IS NOLL AND VOID BECAUSE IT IS NOT A FENCE ANYMORE.

SO IF HE REMOVES THE WROUGHT IRON BETWEEN THE COLUMNS THAT RETRACTS THE APPROVAL FROM THE POA, WE HAD TO GIVE IT BECAUSE OF TEXAS PROPERTY CODE, IT GOES AWAY IF IT'S NOT A FENCE.

SO IN HERE WE CLEARLY SAY THAT THERE HAS TO BE WROUGHT IRON FENCING BETWEEN THE COLUMNS.

SO IF MR. FULLER HAS MADE A MODIFICATION, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD HIM SAY THAT, BUT I SAW IT IN YOUR MATERIALS, SO IF HE'S MADE THAT MODIFICATION, THIS IS GONE.

SO ANY QUESTIONS ON MY TWO POINTS? TEXAS

[00:25:01]

THE APPROVAL LETTER, IF THE WROUGHT IRON FENCE IS GONE, IT'S GONE.

QUESTIONS, UH, JUST TO CLARIFY, ARE YOU IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO THE CASE? I, I'M IN OPPOSITION.

WELL, BASED ON TEXAS PROPERTY CODE, I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.

I CANNOT ENFORCE, I PERSONALLY AM AGAINST DEFENSE, BUT WE CANNOT ENFORCE OUR RESTRICTED COVENANTS THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR 30 YEARS.

FAIR ENOUGH.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER PD 5 6 9 2023.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION? OH, PLEASE COME UP.

GOOD EVENING, SIR.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME, ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND, UH, YES, PLEASE.

MY NAME IS, UH, DON MC, PLEASE SPELL YOU IN FAVOR.

OPPOSITION PLEASE, .

AND, UH, I'M, UH, 2226, UH, BECKY LANE IN, UH, LAKE RIDGE.

AND, UH, I, UH, OPPOSED THE FENCE AND I'VE BEEN LIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 23 YEARS AND I MOVED INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT WE'D HAVE A OPEN NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT CLOSED OFF, THAT WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER.

WE GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER AND WE DON'T HAVE TO FENCE EACH OTHER OFF.

UH, IT'S NOT NECESSARY, UH, IF WE'RE WILLING TO COMMUNICATE, UH, WITH OUR, UH, NEIGHBORS.

UH, SO I'M AGAINST THE ME AND LONG TERM, UH, I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW IT, IT HAS A, A BIG EFFECT ON THE, UH, PROPERTY VALUE.

I DON'T KNOW TOO MANY NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE OF SCALE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ALL THAT, ALL THAT FRONT YARDS ARE FENCED IN.

SO, AND I DON'T SEE A REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE FENCED IN NEITHER.

UH, AND I'M SORRY, DID WE GET YOUR NAME OKAY.

I DIDN'T CONNECT YOUR NAME, PLEASE.

YOU DIDN'T GET MY NAME? NO, ADON OW.

IT'S A LOUISIANA NAME.

I MEAN, NOBODY'S PERFECT, BUT WE GET VERY LITTLE, UM, CRIME AND, AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS CALLED OUT THERE VERY IN FREQUENTLY.

UM, ALL RIGHT.

UM, AND YES, SIR, PLEASE COME ON UP.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME, ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

ARE YOU IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION? AND YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES.

GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS ROGER WELCH, EXCUSE ME, 26 40 WELLS COURT.

AND I'M IN CEDAR HILL.

I'VE BEEN, UM, A RESIDENT IN LAKE RIDGE FOR LITTLE OVER 10 YEARS.

UM, I WAS ALSO, UH, SEVERAL YEARS ON THE ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE, AND THAT GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY, UM, GET INVOLVED ACTUALLY WITH THE REVISED UPDATE TO OUR RULES AND RES AND, UM, BECOME QUITE FAMILIAR WITH OUR GOVERNING DOCUMENTS.

AS YOU KNOW, THAT LAKERIDGE HAS BEEN IN, BEEN THERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS, BUT THE ORIGINAL GOVERNING DOCUMENTS SPECIFICALLY SAY IN WRITING THAT THIS COMMUNITY WAS DEVELOPED TO MAINTAIN AND OPEN FEEL.

CEDAR HILL IS KIND OF A UNIQUE AREA WITH, UH, NICE TERRAIN, EXCUSE ME.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE LARGE LOTS.

AND WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS, UH, BY AND LARGE WROUGHT IRON FENCING IS, IS REQUIRED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

UM, AND THAT WAS ALL DONE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THAT OPEN FIELD THAT THOSE INITIAL GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, UM, WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS, UH, BY THE WAY, I DON'T KNOW IF I STATED UPFRONT, BUT I'M ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO THIS.

UM, OUR GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND OUR CURRENT CONSTRUCTION RULES REQUIRE THAT ANY FENCING NOT EXCEED THE FRONT EDGE OF THE HOUSE.

UM, THERE'S A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE GATES, BUT THOSE GATES, UM, ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE IN TURN.

AND ASIDE FROM THE OPEN FIELD THAT WE'RE, WE'RE, UH, STRIVING FOR, THERE WAS SOME MENTION OF IT BEING A SECURITY MEASURE.

UM, I WANTED TO TAKE THIS AS A PARTICULAR OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU COUNSEL AND ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT MAY BE HERE OR SEE THIS, UH, IN WRITING.

IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION THE OTHER DAY, UH, ACTUALLY FROM MY BROTHER WHO WAS DOING THE RESEARCH THAT CEDAR HILL IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE SAFEST CITIES IN TEXAS AND WITHIN CEDAR HILL, LAKE RIDGE GETS VERY LITTLE, VERY LITTLE.

AND I'VE, I'VE GOTTEN THAT STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH, VERY LITTLE.

[00:30:01]

SO, UH, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THE SECURITY ISSUE IS REALLY A NON-ISSUE ISSUE, UH, FROM AN AESTHETIC PERSPECTIVE, UM, IT IS AN ISSUE.

AND FRANKLY, WHEN I WAS ON THE ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE, WHEN THIS SENATE BILL WAS ENACTED, AND WHEN IT WAS ENACTED, UH, PATRICK AND I AND SEVERAL OTHERS, WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SAID, BOY, WE'RE THANKFUL THAT THAT 1995 ORDINANCE CITY, I THINK IT WAS 1995 ORDINANCE, WAS PUT IN PLACE BY CEDAR HILL TO GIVE US THAT BACKSTOP.

SO, YEAH, I'M, I'M ADEQUATELY, UH, UH, I'M ADAMANTLY, UH, OPPOSED TO IT.

I THINK IT SETS A VERY BAD PRECEDENT.

UM, IT GOES 180 COUNTER TO WHAT OUR GOVERNING DOCUMENTS ARE STRIVING TO ACCOMPLISH.

I THINK FROM A CITY PERSPECTIVE, OPENING THAT PANDORA'S BOX WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO, TO SPEAK HERE, AND IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE THEM.

NO PROBLEM.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR TO OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER PD 5 6 9 2023? UM, YOU, THE APPLICANT? YEAH, UH, I'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND.

I'LL GIVE YOU A MOMENT.

JUST A SECOND.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER PD 5 6 9 2023? PLEASE COME ON UP.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME, ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

AND, UH, WHAT POSITION DO YOU, ARE YOU IN FAVOR OR POSITION? I AM OPPOSED.

MY NAME IS RICK ROSKI, C-E-R-O-V-S-K-Y 28 30 SINGLETREE COVE.

WHEN I WAS FIRST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE DRAWINGS THAT THEY PRESENTED IN THE INITIAL REQUEST TO PUT UP THE FENCE, I NOTICED THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO ENCLOSE THE SIDEWALK ALSO, WHICH I BELIEVE IT STATED THAT WAS ON HIS PROPERTY.

BUT ACCORDING TO ADA REGULATIONS, YOU'RE BLOCKING AND PREVENTING A HANDICAPPED PERSON FROM GOING DOWN THAT STREET WITHOUT ANY KIND OF OBSTRUCTIONS.

SO THAT IS ONE OF MY MAJOR OPPOSITIONS TO THIS.

THE OTHER OPPOSITION IS THERE ARE BYLAWS IN LAKERIDGE THAT RESTRICT FENCES FROM PROTRUDING IN FRONT OF A HOUSE OR IN BEYOND THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.

AND THIS DEARLY DOES GO IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE AND THE MAJORITY OF THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY.

SO I AM DEEPLY OPPOSED.

ANYONE ELSE LISTEN TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER PD 5 6 9 2023? ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER PD 5 6 9 2023? NOT SEE ANYONE APPROACH.

I WILL CLOSE THAT PORTION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING AND IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO PLEASE COME UP AND GIVE HIS PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING, SIR.

WELL, CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? PETE FLOOR 28 53 SOUTH LAKEVIEW DRIVE, CEDAR HILL.

I THOUGH I'M NOT ADDRESSING THE PEOPLE INDIVIDUALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS WHAT THEY SAID FIRST.

IT, IT SAYING, WHEN I'M HEARING TALK, THEY'RE NOT SAYING CEDAR HILL, THEY'RE SAYING LAKE RIDGE.

SO IF WE ARE ADJUSTING WHAT WE'RE SAYING WHEN WE SPEAK OF LAKE RIDGE, IF THEY DRIVE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY, THERE'S ALREADY FENCES.

THE UNIFORMITY IS GONE.

IT'S NOT THERE.

IT'S ALREADY FENCES.

THE IT'S NOT OVER THE SIDEWALK.

THAT WAS JUST PART OF THE DRAWING THAT WAS MISCONSTRUED.

YOU ALL KNOW THAT.

ALSO IT, UM, THE FACT THAT THE WAY THE LAW IS ACTUALLY WRITTEN, IT SAYS 1588, THAT THE POA CAN IN NO WAY RESTRICT YOU FROM HAVING A FRONT PERIMETER FENCE, SECURITY FENCE.

HIM SPEAKING IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY IS BASICALLY A VIOLATION OF THAT.

SECONDLY, IF THERE IS A STATE LAW, HE SHOULD HAVE AMENDED THE CCNRS AS THE HOA PRESIDENT AND AT THE, AS THE POA PRESIDENT, INSTEAD OF BEING TYRANNICAL, DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO.

HE LIVES IN A GATED COMMUNITY.

MR. MCCURDY LIVES IN THE GATED COMMUNITY OF LAKE RIDGE WHERE THERE ARE ALREADY FENCES IN THE GRAND PRAIRIE SIDE.

THERE'S ONE IN THE FRONT THAT WAS ESTABLISHED LAST TIME THAT IT WAS PLACED THERE IN 2012 BEFORE A PERMIT WAS

[00:35:01]

NEEDED.

WELL, AFTER 1995 WHEN THE AMENDMENT, WHEN THE PD, WHEN THE AMENDMENT WAS MADE, THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE FENCES IN THAT AREA, NO DISCUSSION HAS BEEN MADE OF THAT.

NO FENCE HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN, NO FINES HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

BUT BECAUSE I AM ASKING, IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE, JUST LIKE LAST TIME MR. MCCURDY SAID THAT, UM, THE POE PRESIDENT SAID WE DON'T WANT THEM OVER HERE.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT FENCES OR SOMETHING ELSE? 'CAUSE THE FENCES EXIST ALREADY.

CLEARLY WE'VE SEEN THEM.

THERE ARE SEVERAL OF THEM TO TAKE THE OPEN FIELD.

HOW THERE'S NOT A FENCE AT EVERY HOUSE ALONG THE, ALONG THE WAY.

NOT EVERYBODY WANTS FENCES IN CEDAR HILL.

NOT EVERYBODY WANTS THEM IN LAKE RIDGE.

THERE ARE SOME IN CEDAR HILL, THERE ARE SOME IN LAKE RIDGE.

NOW, IF WE BREAK DOWN THE DEFINITION OF WHERE THEY ARE, THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE IN GRAND PRAIRIE.

I'M NOT TRYING TO DO ANYTHING THAT NOBODY ELSE HAS.

I JUST WANT IT FOR MY PROPERTY AND AS SAFE AS IT IS, AND I BELIEVE THE COMMUNITY IS SAFE, THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE.

AND ALSO IT DEVIATED ORIGINALLY FROM BEING A WROUGHT IRON FENCE BECAUSE THOSE WERE SUGGESTIONS OF THE COUNCIL TO DEVIATE FROM HAVING THE WROUGHT IRON.

NOT BECAUSE IT, IT WAS AN STRUCTURE.

SO WHETHER THEY CHANGE IT, TRYING TO USE THE VERBIAGE OF WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING AS A COMPROMISE, WHICH SEEMS FAIR, OR BECAUSE THEY WANT TO USE THE COUNCIL TO DO RULES THAT THEY FEEL THEY CAN'T ANYMORE AND HIDE BEHIND YOU ALL, I DON'T THINK IS FAIR.

BOTH UNDER 1588 AND 2127.

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, UM, LET'S, LET'S REMOVE THE THEORIES, THE THEATRICS.

UM, WHAT, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE TODAY? CAN YOU GIVE OFFENSE FOR MY PROPERTY? THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR, FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS.

OFFENSE TO, REGARDLESS OF HOW ANY IT LOOKS TO ANYBODY ELSE, TO ME IT WILL LOOK NICE REGARDLESS OF HOW ANYBODY ELSE FEELS ABOUT HOW SAFE THEY ARE.

I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BASE MY FAMILY, MY SON AND MY SURROUNDINGS ON THE SECURITY OF HOW SOMEONE ELSE FEELS.

THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

JUST LIKE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO RUN THEIR HOUSEHOLD THE WAY THAT I FEEL.

UM, WELL, IS IT OKAY THAT YOU REMAIN THERE WHILE WE DELIBERATE? YES, SIR.

UH, COUNCILOR MCCURDY.

UM, WELL FIRST, UH, I WANNA RESPOND TO WHAT YOU SAID.

I, I AM, I'M OFFENDED THAT YOU WOULD IMPLY THAT MY COMMENTS MEANT ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE POA DOES NOT WANT YOUR OFFENSE THERE.

AND THE FACT THAT YOU WOULD BRING THAT UP IS OFFENSIVE.

IT WAS OFFENSIVE WHEN I HEARD IT.

WELL, I'M SORRY IF YOU TOOK IT THAT WAY.

I THINK YOU KNOW BETTER.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, I THINK, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT MEANT IN THAT FASHION.

AND YOU, I DIDN'T SAY YOU MEANT IT.

I SAID THAT YOU RELAYED THE MESSAGE THAT PATRICK GAVE YOU.

I HAVE I HAVE ONE QUESTION, AND, AND IT'S FOR, FOR PATRICK IS THE, IS THE POA PRESIDENT DOES, DOES THE POA WANT? DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR WHO? NO, I, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

FOR YOU.

WELL, HOLD, HOLD ON, HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

I MEAN, WE CAN'T ASK THE AUDIENCE A QUESTION.

WE ARE ONLY GONNA ASK THE APPLICANT A QUESTION IF YOU, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE I GO TO THE NEXT CUSTOMER? NO.

MAY I RESPOND TO THAT SO WE CAN HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING? I DID NOT MEAN TO IMPLY ANYTHING IMPLICIT.

IF YOU FELT IT A CERTAIN WAY, MAYBE YOU'RE FEELING IT AWAY AND IN WHICH I DID NOT SAY IT.

I SAID, YOU DELIVERED A MESSAGE.

AND ME HEARING THE MESSAGE, THERE'S MANY ASPECTS AND MANY CATEGORIES THAT I COULD HAVE TAKEN THAT WE ARE, AGAIN, TALKING ABOUT A FENCE IN MY FRONT YARD.

WE CAN BARELY GET 6,000 PEOPLE TO VOTE IN AN ELECTION FOR OUR SCHOOLS OR ANYTHING ELSE.

OUR CITY IS ALREADY, WE WANT A FAMILY FEEL TO OUR CITY HOW WE'VE GOT STREETS IN LAKE RIDGE THAT HAVE HILLS AND HOMES THAT NEED TO BE, I DON'T WANT TO BE UP HERE WITH THIS, THIS, THIS IS SILLY TO ME, A FENCE THAT I'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH TWO YEARS FOR TRYING TO GET.

SO THERE WAS NO MEANS OF MALICE OR DISRESPECTING WHAT I SAID.

I APOLOGIZE THAT YOU TOOK THAT WRONG, BUT IT WAS NEVER MEANT IN THAT CATEGORY WHATSOEVER.

I LOVE MY CITY.

I'VE TOLD EVERYBODY I'VE TALKED TO ABOUT OUR CITY THAT EXACT SAME THING.

THERE IS NOTHING BUT LOVE HERE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE DECISIONS IS, REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE GO FROM THIS DAY.

I LOVE THE CITY AND WANT THE BEST FOR IT, BUT US REALLY ADVANCING, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A FENCE.

THERE'S SO MUCH MORE WE COULD BE TALKING ABOUT.

UM, AND, AND BEFORE WE CONTINUE, UH, I, I KNOW HOW PASSIONATE YOU ARE ABOUT THIS, UH, BUT I WANT TO ASK EVERYONE TO PLEASE REMOVE THE EMOTION.

ALRIGHT? UH, WE DO HAVE A CASE BEFORE US.

WE HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL BUSINESS TO BE DOING AFTER THIS.

SO IF WE CAN ALL JUST STAY FOCUSED ON WHATEVER THE FACT IS AND TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION, WE'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD OR NOT, COUNSEL.

TO SPEAK? UH, AND, AND WE CAN JUST DELIBERATE AMONGST OURSELVES.

UM, SO IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING

[00:40:01]

WE'RE HAVE TO ASK THE APPLICANT IF ANY QUESTIONS, BUT IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I DON'T HAVE NO QUESTIONS FOR.

UH, QUESTIONS FOR YOU? ANYTHING ELSE? UH, WELL, I MEAN, IF SO, IF, IF WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, WE'LL JUST BRING IT BACK UP.

HAVE A SEAT FOR A SECOND.

UH, COUNCIL MAYOR HAYDEN? NO, I JUST, UH, QUESTIONS RELATED.

WELL, I MEAN, WE CAN'T, YEAH, WE CAN'T ENGAGE TO THE AUDIENCE ANYMORE, SO WE'LL JUST DELIBERATE ENOUGH TO SAY YOU CAN'T ASK NOT THE AUDIENCE.

NO, SIR.

WE COULD REFER TO STAFF, BUT NOT THE AUDIENCE.

YES.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COUNSELOR? THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH, I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.

UH, GO AHEAD MAYOR.

GO AHEAD, MAYOR.

IF, IF, IF I CAN MAKE A COMMENT.

AND SO, UM, I JUST WANNA SHARE MY THOUGHTS ON THIS.

UH, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN, UH, GOVERNMENT FOR 30, 34 YEARS AND THERE'S A, A GENERAL STANDARD RULE THAT, UH, THAT SEEMS TO APPLY THAT WHATEVER'S DONE FOR ONE APPLIES TO ALL.

AND, UM, MY CONCERN IS THAT THE APPROVAL OF THIS, FOR ONE, WILL HAVE AN APPLICATION TO, UM, A LOT OF LOTS IN CEDAR HILL.

NOW, I'M NOT SPEAKING TO GRAND PRAIRIE 'CAUSE I HAVE NO CONCERN OR, OR, UM, WHAT GRAND PRAIRIE DOES DOESN'T MEAN MUCH TO ME.

I'M, I'M NOTHING AGAINST GRAND PRAIRIE, BUT MY FOCUS IS CEDAR HILL.

AND, UM, APPROVAL OF THIS WILL APPLY TO A WHOLE LOT OF LOTS IN CEDAR HILL, AND IT COULD END UP COMPLETELY CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF ONE OF OUR MOST SIGNATURE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE CITY.

AND, AND SO I'M GOING TO, I I CAN'T SUPPORT, UH, THE, THE MOTION, I MEAN THE, THE APPLICANT AS IT IS RIGHT NOW.

UM, YES.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? I'M NOT, I'M NOT GONNA TAKE THE MOTION AT THE MOMENT, BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, I HAVE NO MORE QUESTIONS.

NO.

UM, I DO HAVE, I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU IF YOU PLEASE COME ON UP.

UM, I, I JUST, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY AND, AND I THINK THIS TOOK PLACE, BUT I JUST WANNA CLARIFY.

UM, AFTER THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, YOU DID MEET WITH STAFF, UH, ABOUT THIS? I DID.

AND I GUESS THERE WAS AN ALTERNATIVE THAT WAS PROPOSED, BUT, BUT YOU WASN'T IN SUPPORT OF THAT, THAT ALTERNATIVE, THE ALTERNATIVE OF THE TREES.

NOW, UH, CONSTRUCT A, A RIGHT IRON FENCE, A RIGHT IRON GATE ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY ONLY, UH, YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T, YOU DIDN'T SUPPORT THAT PART OR NO, SIR.

BECAUSE THE GATE DOES NOT SECURE THE PROPERTY.

I WAS AGREEABLE TO THE COLUMNS, BUT A GR A GATE DOES, AND SHE TOLD ME THE COLUMNS STILL CLASSIFY AS A FENCE FOR THE PROPERTY.

I UNDERSTAND.

UM, OKAY.

BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING ELSE, THE LANDSCAPING, EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND IT WOULDN'T MATTER THEN.

I, ALL RIGHT.

I THINK THAT'S, UH, MY ONLY QUESTION I HAVE, SIR.

YES, SIR.

UH, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COUNSEL BEFORE I ASK FOR A MOTION? THE FLOOR IS OPEN, COUNSEL.

WELL, MY, MY COMMENTS WERE, ARE GONNA BE PROCEEDING A, A, A MOTION, BUT MY COMMENTS ARE ALONG THE LINES OF MAYOR PRO TEM.

YOU KNOW, I'M, YOU KNOW, THERE'S 2000 LOTS THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED IF WE GO FORWARD WITH, UH, SOME KIND OF AN APPROVAL WITH THIS.

YOU KNOW, I SYMPATHIZE WITH THE, UH, THE APPLICANT AND WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.

UH, BUT YOU KNOW, THIS THING'S BEEN IN EFFECT FOR, I DON'T KNOW, SINCE 1995.

WE PUT THESE, UH, PD ORDINANCES IN HERE FOR A REASON.

AND SO TO GO AHEAD AND CHANGE IT FOR ONE AT THIS TIME TO AFFECT, YOU KNOW, 2000 PEOPLE, UH, 2000 LOTS IS JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT I WOULD BE WILLING TO SUPPORT WITH REGARD TO ANY KIND OF, UH, CREATING A PRECEDENCE LIKE THAT.

SO.

CONTRARY OF WHAT HE DIDN'T DO? I MEAN, I GUESS MY QUESTION TO THE APPLICANT, DID HE, I MEAN, WE THOUGHT WE HAD AGREED ON WHAT YOU NEEDED TO DO.

COUNCILWOMAN, YOU GOT SOMETHING? YOU HAVE A QUESTION? COMMENT? UH, ON THE LAST MEETING, I THOUGHT WE CLARIFIED WHAT HE HAD TO DO IN ORDER TO, UH, GET A, THE CITY APPROVAL.

SO MY QUESTION NOW IS, AND WE ALL AGREED WITH HIM ON WHAT HE HAD TO DO.

SO WHAT IS THE

[00:45:01]

EVERYBODY WAS SATISFIED.

SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM NOW? UH, DID YOU NOT DO WHAT WE CAME TO THE AGREEMENT TO DO? THE LAST TIME WHEN WE LEFT, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE COLUMNS AND HAVING SOME TYPE OF, OF FOLIAGE TREES IN THE CENTER OF THE COLUMNS.

THAT WAS STILL WHAT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION OF, THAT WE WOULD HAVE ALL THE COLUMNS WITH THE TREE IN THE CENTER OF EACH OF IT.

TONIGHT I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST COMING FOR A VOTE, BUT SOMEWHERE AND THEN IT'S CHANGED.

SO ARE YOU, IS IT ANYTHING IN THIS, UM, SUMMARY THAT YOU DIDN'T DO OR, OR YOU DID DIFFERENT? NO, MA'AM.

JUST THAT THE WR IRON, WE WERE REMOVING THE WR IRON THAT WAS AN OFFER THAT YOU ALL HAD SUGGESTED REMOVING THE WR IRON MM-HMM.

TO KEEP THE CEDAR HILL SIDE KINDA UNIFORM.

AND LAKE RIDGE ITSELF IS A TOTAL OF 2200 HOMES, WHICH THE GRAND PRAIRIE SIDE ALREADY IS SATURATED WITH FENCES, MR. HAYDEN.

SO EVERYTHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, MY MEMORY GOES BACK 'CAUSE IT WHAT, TWO, TWO, UH, MEETINGS AGO? YES MA'AM.

AND I WAS SATISFIED BECAUSE WE THOUGHT YOU WERE SATISFIED WITH ALL THE COLUMNS SO I COULD PUT TREES IN THE CENTER OF THEM AND THE VEHICULAR FENCE.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WE HAD AGREED UPON.

NOW, I, I DON'T NOW IT'S ABOUT ME CHANGING SOMETHING ABOUT THE UNIFORMITY OF THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT'S NOT THAT AT ALL.

SO YOU WERE, YOU WERE IN, UH, AGREEMENT WITH WHAT WE HAD.

'CAUSE SOME OF US COUNCIL PEOPLE GAVE YOU ADVICE ON HOW YOU SHOULD DO IT, RIGHT? YES, I REMEMBER THAT.

AND YOU ALL SAID GET THE COLUMNS AND PUT THE TREES IN BETWEEN THEM.

MM-HMM.

AND THE VEHICLE ACCESS GATE.

AND I WAS AGREEABLE UPON THAT, RIGHT? YES, MA'AM.

SO WHAT IS THE DESCRIPTION NOW? I BE, HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE AGAIN PRESENTING THIS EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN BECAUSE I, THE POE PRESIDENT AND A FEW OTHERS CAME OUT AND SPOKE THEIR OPINIONS.

NOW I THINK SOMEWHERE IN THERE PEOPLE HAVE DEVIATED BECAUSE THEY'RE, I DON'T KNOW.

AND I, I WAS AGREEABLE WITH WHAT YOU SAID AND, AND WHAT I BELIEVE MOST OF US HAD AGREED ON RIGHT.

THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE.

THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE.

I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST COMING BACK JUST TO SAY OKAY, WE ALL AGREED.

AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE TALKED ABOUT ON, ON TAPE.

YES MA'AM.

IN THE MIDST CHIEF OF POLICE COME AND SAYING THE WAY TO SECURE MY PROPERTY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

YES.

MM-HMM, , I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

OKAY, SO NOTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE DEVIATED FROM WHAT WE PUT IN THE MINUTES, ITS REMOVE THE WR IRON OFF THE COLUMNS, WHICH WE ALL AGREED BEFORE WE LEFT, I REMEMBER.

YES, MA'AM.

THAT'S MY QUESTION.

THANK YOU COUNCILWOMAN Z MAYOR, I WOULD SAY THAT, UM, ON YOUR MICROPHONE.

UM, FIRST I THINK IT'S A, UM, TO ECHO, UM, WHAT YOU SAID INITIALLY, THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY, UM, STAYING IN OUR ROLES AS COUNCIL AND THAT IS, UH, DESIGNERS OR LANDSCAPERS AND SUCH, UH, IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THESE DISCUSSIONS ARE GOING, UM, ON, ON RECORD.

UM, SO WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ME, UM, IS TO ALSO HEAR A CLARIFICATION FROM STAFF SINCE THEY WERE ALSO AS A PART OF THE COMMUNICATIONS AFTER WE HAD OUR LAST MEETING.

SO IF WE COULD JUST GET, UM, SOME CLARIFICATION FROM OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR ON WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED IN HER UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE HELPFUL.

SURE.

GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL FOR THE RECORD, CHASTITY BENSON, PLANNING DIRECTOR.

SO AT THE COUNCIL MEETING WHERE THE REQUEST WAS HER, THERE WAS DISCUSSION WITH REGARD TO SOME DESIGN ALTERNATIVES TO THE FENCE.

BUT STAFF'S UNDERSTANDING WAS THOSE WERE ALTERNATIVES FOR THE APPLICANT TO CONSIDER WITH REGARD TO THE DESIGN, BUT NOT, UM, APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT, JUST IF THERE WERE OTHER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS.

AND SO WHEN I MET WITH THE APPLICANT, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR DESIGN CONSIDERATION AS WELL AS ALTERNATIVES THAT WOULD NOT REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT TO THE PD SUCH AS THE LANDSCAPING OR THE GATE AGAINST THE, UH, ALONG THE DRIVE ONLY.

SO WE DID ENTERTAIN THOSE, UH, OPTIONS.

THE APPLICANT DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED, THAT HE WANTED TO PROCEED WITH THE COLUMN ONLY OPTION THAT WAS DISCUSSED AS A DESIGN ALTERNATIVE

[00:50:01]

WITH THE COUNCIL.

WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THOUGH THAT THAT DOES NOT APPROVE THE AMENDMENT, UM, OF THE ORDINANCE, IT WAS JUST THE DISCUSSION WITH REGARD TO THE DESIGN OF THE FENCE.

DOES THAT CLARIFY? THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THAT, UH, QUESTION BEFORE YOU LEAVE? YES MA'AM.

WE HEAR YOU PUSH THE RED BUTTON.

SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT WHAT WE AGREED ON WITH HIM IS NOT PART OF THE ORDINANCE OF LAKE RIDGE? I MEAN, THAT PIECE SOUND LIKE THE COLUMNS IS THE ISSUE THAT YOU HAD TO GO BACK AND TELL HIM THAT HE COULDN'T DO.

SO THE, THE DISCUSSION THAT I UNDERSTOOD FROM THE COUNCIL WAS ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THE FENCE ITSELF.

RIGHT.

UM, THE ORIGINALLY WAS PROPOSED TO HAVE COLUMNS WITH ROD, IRON IN BETWEEN.

AND THE DISCUSSION IN THE COUNCIL WITH, IN TERMS OF ENTERTAINING DESIGN OPTIONS WAS TO, UM, TAKE OUT THE WR IRON AND HAVE THE COLUMNS ONLY, WHICH IS WHAT MR. FULLER IS REQUESTING NOW.

MM-HMM.

UM, HOWEVER STAFF TOOK THAT UNDERSTANDING AS THOSE WERE JUST DESIGN DISCUSSIONS.

NOT THAT COUNSEL WAS SUPPORTING THE AMENDMENT, BUT RATHER GIVING HIM, UM, SOME ALTERNATIVES TO CONSIDER WITH REGARD TO THE DESIGN OF THE FENCE.

SO, UH, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT YOU LET HIM KNOW THAT, UM, THE AMENDMENTS THAT HE HAD TO DO WAS NOT ACCORDING TO THE ORDINANCE OF LAKE RIDGE, RIGHT? CORRECT.

CORRECT.

THIS WHOLE REQUEST IS IS BECAUSE OF THAT.

SO YOU LET HIM KNOW THAT? YES, MA'AM.

MM-HMM, .

YES.

SO, SIR, AFTER SHE LET YOU KNOW THAT, HOW DID YOU, HOW HOW THAT IS ISSUED? I'VE KNOWN SINCE I STARTED THIS BACK IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER OF 21.

MM-HMM.

THAT IT WAS AGAINST THE ORDINANCE.

I FELT THAT SINCE I HAD SEEN OTHER HOMES WITH FENCES IN LAKE RIDGE, THAT IT WOULD BE ALLOWED AS WELL.

THIS IS, EVEN THOUGH THIS BOARD GAVE ME A, AN APPROVAL LETTER, THE BOARD BEFORE THEM IN 21 GAVE ME AN APPROVAL LETTER ALSO WITHOUT ALL THE SPECIFICATIONS.

SO I FELT THEY WERE COMING UP TO SPEED TO WHERE IT WOULD BE APPROVED.

THIS WAS BEFORE HB 21, 27.

ANY OF THAT I FELT WITH 1588, ONCE THEY GAVE ME APPROVAL, IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM TO GET IT FROM THE CITY.

AND THEN I STARTED COMMUNICATING WITH THE CITY ON WHAT ROUTE TO GO, JUST TO GET MY PROPERTY ALONE FENCED ACCORDING TO WHAT THE LAWS ARE AS THEY ARE WRITTEN.

YES, MA'AM.

UH, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU.

AND, AND TO CLARIFY, COUNCILWOMAN, UM, WHEN WE LEFT LAST TIME, THE ITEM WAS TABLED.

THERE WAS NO AGREEMENT.

UH, WE DID ASK FOR HIM TO GO IN BACK AND MEET WITH STAFF.

HE MET WITH STAFF.

UM, HE DECIDED TO NOT GO WITH THAT OPTION.

HE JUST WANTED TO COME BACK TO US, UH, WITH, WITH WHAT HE'S PROPOSING TODAY.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THE CASE IS ABOUT TODAY.

UM, ALL RIGHT.

AND, UM, I GUESS ALSO, UH, COUNSEL TO MAKE A NOTE, THERE WAS A, UH, THINK COUNCIL MEMBER GLOVER MENTIONED EARLIER, BUT THERE WAS A, A LETTER SENT, UH, TO YOUR EMAIL IN OPPOSITION, UH, FOR THIS CASE AS WELL.

SO, UH, I DON'T HAVE THAT PERSON'S NAME BEFORE ME, BUT JUST CAME TO MY MIND.

UM, SO I GUESS, I GUESS THAT'S, I, I, I GUESS THAT'S, THAT'S IT WITH YOU, SIR.

I'M, I'M READY TO AHEAD AND, AND MOVE FORWARD.

UM, YOU KNOW, COUNSEL, I WILL, YOU KNOW, SAY THIS, UM, IN, IN THE PAST, WHENEVER WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, UH, CASES LIKE THIS, UH, SOMETIMES THE COMMUNITY WILL COME OUT.

SOMETIMES THAT DEVELOPER OR APPLICANT WILL GO BACK AND, AND, AND MEET WITH THE COMMUNITY.

USUALLY THAT WILL COME BACK WITH SOME SORT OF A, A, A, A, YOU KNOW, A COMPROMISE.

UH, AND THEN THAT WILL, YOU KNOW, WILL GIVE, YOU KNOW, COUNSEL BE OF A DECISION TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD.

UM, YOU KNOW, COUNSEL, I THINK WE, UM, DID NOT TAKE ACTION LAST TIME.

UH, THIS TIME GIVE THE APPLICANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND TO MEET WITH STAFF TO SEE IF THERE IS, YOU KNOW, SOME SORT OF A, A COMPROMISE.

UH, IN THIS CASE, OF COURSE, THE APPLICANT'S BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A COUPLE YEARS.

UH, THE APPLICANT, YOU KNOW, FEEL AS IF THAT HE WANTS A CERTAIN TYPE OF, YOU KNOW, PERIMETER SECURITY AROUND HIS PROPERTY.

UH, IN THIS CASE, THERE IS, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, ORDINANCE IN PLACE, YOU KNOW, FOR, UH, FOR THE SUBDIVISION.

AND IN THIS CASE, COUNSEL, NOW IT'S BEFORE YOU TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION.

SO THE FLOOR IS OPEN.

UH, IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE, YOU KNOW, MAKE A MOTION AGAIN, COUNSEL TO REMIND EVERYONE, WE DO HAVE TO HAVE A SUPER MAJORITY IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FROM THIS CASE.

UH, COUNCILOR HAYDEN.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

WE, UH, CA DENY CASE NUMBER PD 5 6 9 2 0 2 3.

UM, I, I THINK WE'VE HEARD ALL OF THE, THE DIALOGUE WE NEEDED TO, I DID AT THIS POINT.

UH, I'LL GO, I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION NOW THAT

[00:55:01]

UH, OKAY.

WE DO HAVE A DENIAL AND WE DO HAVE A SECOND.

UM, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, COUNSEL? ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

UM, ANY OPPOSITION SO IT DOES, UH, MOVE FORWARD IN A DENIAL.

UM, YOU KNOW, PLEASE SIR, IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU ARE, UM, YOU KNOW, IN A SAFE, YOU KNOW, ENVIRONMENT, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE ABLE TO MEET, MEET WITH STAFF IN ORDER, TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT, WHAT THAT MEDIUM IS AND, UH, SO THEREFORE YOU CAN BE ABLE TO FEEL SAFE IN YOUR HOME.
