Dec 13, 2021 City Council Regular Meeting

[APPLAUSE] WE'RE GOING TO GRAB A PICTURE.

YES, YOU COULD WAIT, WE'LL DO A PICTURE.

AND ONE LAST NOTE, THE COMMISSIONERS RAN A COPY OF THE BOOKS AS WELL.

MINE IS MORE FOR THE THE PUBLIC, BUT THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE A COPY OF THE BOOK IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN BUYING ONE.

IF YOU REACH OUT TO TARRANT COUNTY, THEY'LL MAKE ONE AVAILABLE TO ANYBODY IN TARRANT COUNTY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! [INAUDIBLE] ONE MORE PICTURE.

OH, SURE.

WELL, WE GOT THE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER.

NEXT, WE HAVE A RECOGNITION OF AWARDS WON BY THE MAYOR, VERA CALVIN PLAZA IN OLD TOWN AT THE 2021 ANNUAL DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE.

THANK YOU, SARAH.

THE PRESENTER TONIGHT IS JOANIE, THE OLD TOWN ADMINISTRATOR.

ARE YOU GOING TO RECOGNIZE THE OTHER ONE TOO? JOANIE, YOU WANT ME TO CALL THE OTHER? YES, MA'AM.

I'M GOING TO DO BOTH OF THEM.

SO THE SECOND RECOGNITION IS AWARDS WON ALSO AT THAT SAME 2021 URBAN DESIGN AWARDS RECIPIENT.

EVERYONE REMAIN CALM, I DON'T HAVE A FULL PRESENTATION, IT'S JUST THIS ONE SLIDE, BUT GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I'M JOANIE [INAUDIBLE].

THE OLD TOWN ADMINISTRATOR FOR BURLESON.

MY ITEM ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT IS TO PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE AND KIND OF SHOW OFF A LITTLE A FEW RECENT AWARDS THAT OUR LOVELY MAYOR VERA CALVIN PLAZA IN OLD TOWN HAS RECENTLY RECEIVED.

SO THE PLAZA WAS NAMED BEST PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AT THE 2021 TEXAS DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL AWARDS.

NOT ONLY WAS THE PLAZA SELECTED AS THE ACTUAL RECIPIENT OF THE AWARD BY THEIR REVIEW BOARD AND COMMITTEE, BUT THE PLAZA ALSO RECEIVED THE MOST VOTES ON THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, SO THE PLAZA WAS GIVEN AN ADDITIONAL AWARD FOR THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD AND WE RECEIVED A PLAQUE FOR THAT AS WELL.

LASTLY, THE PLAZA RECEIVED AN AWARD FOR AN HONORABLE MENTION BY THE GREATER DALLAS PLANNING COUNCIL AT THEIR 2021 URBAN DESIGN AWARD CEREMONY.

THE PLAZA WAS MENTIONED AS A HIGH SCORING PROJECT FOR THE BUILT PROJECT AWARD, A PROJECT COMPLETED WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS THAT IMPROVES THE CHARACTER SENSE OF PLACE AND FABRIC OF THE COMMUNITY AND HAS OR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CATALYZE POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

SO IT'S AN HONOR TO RECEIVE AWARDS FROM, YOU KNOW, FROM ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THESE, ESPECIALLY STATEWIDE.

THE TEXAS DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION IS AN AWESOME ORGANIZATION AS WELL AS THE GREATER DALLAS PLANNING COUNCIL, SO WE ARE HONORED TO RECEIVE THAT.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY FOR LOVING OUR SPACE AS MUCH AS WE DO.

AND I THINK THE CITY SECRETARY SAYS WE CAN COME DOWN AND TAKE A PHOTO WITH THE AWARDS.

IF THE COUNCIL WOULD GO DOWN AND RECEIVE THE AWARDS ON BEHALF.

A LITTLE THAT WAY.

[INAUDIBLE] YES, THAT IS A PHOTOGRAPHY TERM, THANK YOU.

[C. Community Interest Items This is a standing item on the agenda of every regular meeting of the City Council.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 2C COMMUNITY INTEREST ITEMS, A STANDING ITEM ON THE AGENDA, ALLOWING EACH COUNCIL MEMBER TO BRING AN ITEM OF

[00:10:01]

COMMUNITY INTEREST FORWARD.

RONNIE.

CAME TO THE FARMER'S MARKET THAT WAS A GREAT.

BREAKFAST AT SANTA, GOT TO COOK SOME.

THAT WAS GREAT.

AND CHRISTMAS AT THE LIBRARY, WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.

IT'S TOO LONG, BUT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF REALLY WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPEN IN THIS LAST QUARTER, AND I WANTED TO KIND OF ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECOGNIZE IT.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PANSY APPROVALS AND PLOT APPROVALS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT TO DO WITH.

THERE'S SO MANY STEPS THAT HAPPENED BEFORE THAT, AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THE STAFF THAT MAKES THESE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE COME TOGETHER.

WE OPENED BIDS FOR SEWER IMPROVEMENTS AND FUNDING BEGAN IN MULTIPLE LEVELS FOR THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT IN INFRASTRUCTURE AND FUN THINGS.

WE DID PURCHASE A NEW FIRE TRUCK.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE APPROVED THE BUDGET, AND THIS YEAR WE LOWERED THE TAX RATE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING INTO EFFECT OUR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME WORKING ON A LOT OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

PUBLIC SAFETY GREW POLICE AND FIRE, AND THEY GOT THEIR RAISES AND NO INCREASE IN YOUR WATER BILLS.

ISN'T THAT PHENOMENAL, EVERYBODY? I WENT TO THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE CONFERENCE IN OCTOBER, AND SOMEHOW THESE WERE THE ONLY PICTURES THAT I ENDED UP WITH.

AND THAT IS OUR FORMER DEPUTY CITY SECRETARY, JESSIE ELIZONDO, HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF FUN ON SOME PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THAT WE PLAYED WITH.

BUT THANK YOU TO OUR CITY SECRETARY AND HER DEPUTY CITY SECRETARY FOR ACCOMPANYING ME.

I LEARNED A WHOLE LOT, CAME BACK, GAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A DOWNLOAD TO BRYAN.

OF COURSE, WE HAD A VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION EVENT.

I BELIEVE THAT WAS IN SEPTEMBER WHERE WE SAID THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS AND WE HAVE SO MANY THAT DO SO MANY DIFFERENT ROLES WITHIN OUR CITY.

SO I THINK THAT'S WELL DESERVED AND NEEDED.

THE PLAZA FEES WERE FINALIZED.

WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT, THEY WERE FINALIZED, SO EVERYONE'S JUMPING UP AND DOWN FOR THAT.

WE APPROVED AND EXPANDED THE CEMETERY, APPROVED EXPANDING THE CEMETERY AND DID A GROUNDBREAKING.

WE DID THE SPLASH PAD GROUNDBREAKING AND THE ANIMAL SHELTER EXPANSION GROUNDBREAKING, ALL IN THE LAST FOURTH QUARTER.

OH, BUT LET'S NOT FORGET WE APPROVE THE DOG PARK AND WE DID THE GROUNDBREAKING FOR IT.

AND THIS LOVELY LADY ON THE RIGHT HAND, MS. SHANNON [INAUDIBLE] HAS BEEN THE ONE LEADING THE WAY TO GET THIS DOG PARK DONE.

SO I THINK FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR I COULD BE WRONG.

WE SHOULD HAVE THAT DOG PARK TO START PLAYING IN.

I THINK I'M LOOKING FOR YES OR NO.

THEY'RE SHOOTING BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY.

BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY.

OK, SO POSSIBLY MIDDLE OF THE SECOND QUARTER.

BUT WHAT A GREAT JOB TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, ALSO FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK AND OUR PARKS BOARD AS WELL.

SO WE APPROVE THE DESIGN FOR MORE PARKING AT BAILEY LAKE, WE INCREASE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.

BURLESON POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD AN OPEN HOUSE THEY SWORE IN SEVERAL NEW OFFICERS, LAUNCHED A NEW PROGRAM, WHICH I JUST LOVE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS KNOW THIS.

THAT'S PART OF WHY I WANTED TO DO THIS RECAP.

THE ARE YOU OK? SENIOR PROGRAM THAT THEY LAUNCHED IS ABOUT CHECKING ON THE SENIORS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WHAT A PHENOMENAL THING.

SO YOU CAN READ THE OTHERS THERE.

LOOK AT ALL OF THESE INCREDIBLE EVENTS THAT WE HAD IN OCTOBER.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY KEPT OUR VACCINES GOING AND KEPT TAKING CARE AND TESTING OUR PEOPLE HERE IN BURLESON.

HERE'S A COUPLE MORE THINGS THAT WE DID PROJECT YOU TICKETS WENT ON SALE.

WE DID VETERANS DAY TRIBUTE.

THERE'S THE PROJECT YOU LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, AND THE ECONOMIC DEPARTMENT LAUNCHED THEIR BTX SUPPORT LOCAL BUY LOCAL SHOP LOCAL, WHICH AGAIN, PHENOMENAL.

I HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WONDERFUL LADY SITTING UP HERE WHO DOESN'T GET ENOUGH.

SHE HATES THE ACCOLADES, BUT MS. AMANDA CAMPOS, OUR OWN CITY SECRETARY, WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL CLERKS ASSOCIATION.

SO CONGRATULATIONS, AMANDA.

[APPLAUSE] AND THEN WE HAD OUR SERVICE AWARDS WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE A 30-YEAR EMPLOYEE, MR. STACY SINGLETON, WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE.

WE HAD A GINGERBREAD HOUSE CONTEST AND WE RECOGNIZE A BUNCH OF OTHER EMPLOYEES.

BUT THIS WAS WHAT GOT ME AND I JUST GOT THE CHILLS AGAIN WHEN DECEMBER CAME.

[00:15:03]

CHRISTMAS HIT BURLESON AND LOOK AT, THIS IS THESE ARE THE PICTURES THAT I TOOK.

WE HAVE AN AMAZING COMMUNICATIONS TEAM THAT TOOK ALL THE BEAUTIFUL, REALLY GOOD PICTURES.

BUT THESE WERE THE PICTURES THAT I TOOK ALONG THE WAY WHILE I WAS IN THE BEAUTIFUL CABIN WHERE SANTA WAS.

WE HAD SUCH AN AMAZING TURNOUT AT RUSSELL FARM THAT I HONESTLY COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THAT TEAM OF OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT IT TOOK TO PUT THAT TOGETHER.

I BELIEVE THE LITTLE BARN WHERE SANTA WAS WAS EMPTY ON FRIDAY AND WAS PUT TOGETHER FRIDAY NIGHT FOR A SATURDAY EVENT.

YOU UNDERSTAND HOW QUICKLY THESE THESE PEOPLE TURNED AROUND TO MAKE THIS A BEAUTIFUL LOCATION FOR OUR PEOPLE TO COME AND ENJOY CHRISTMAS.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU GO TO OLD TOWN BURLESON AND THE LIGHTING OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

WE HAVE TO DO A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL THESE WONDERFUL DEPARTMENTS, AND I KNOW I'VE FORGOTTEN SOME.

THE LIBRARY RONNIE AND I WERE THERE TOGETHER AND THEN JIMMY SHOWED UP AND I DON'T KNOW, SHE LEFT OUR LIBRARY GAL LEFT, BUT SHE'LL KNOW THAT I [INAUDIBLE] OVER THESE UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER ORNAMENTS THAT THE KIDS WERE MAKING.

AND I WAS BENT ON MAKING ONE AS GOOD AS THEIRS AND I BROUGHT IT HOME, AND IT'S THE FIRST THING HANGING ON MY CHRISTMAS TREE.

BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT LIBRARY DEPARTMENT AGAIN WENT ALL OUT, SO I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD AND I WANT TO SAY THAT WE AS COUNCIL GET A LOT OF RECOGNITION.

BUT TRUTHFULLY, IT'S THESE EMPLOYEES THAT MATTER THE MOST.

THEY ARE WHAT KEEPS THIS CITY TICKING AND RUNNING.

AND I WILL TELL YOU, IF YOU DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THE PICTURES FROM THE CHRISTMAS PARADE, THE LARGEST CHRISTMAS PARADE EVER IN THE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS I'VE LIVED HERE, WHEN WE CAME AROUND THE CORNER AND SAW THAT MAYOR VERA CALVIN PLAZA, WE WERE ON THE BACK OF THE FLOAT WITH THE EDC, WHICH THEY DID A PHENOMENAL JOB.

I WAS JUST LIKE OVERWHELMED, QUITE FRANKLY.

WE GOT OFF RIGHT THERE AND LOOKING AROUND AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ENJOYING OUR CITY AND REALLY JUST BEING TOGETHER TO ME SAID, THIS IS BURLESON.

AND SO I AGAIN WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE WHAT IS HELPING TO KEEP BURLESON TOGETHER.

WE MAY BE SITTING UP HERE AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUT HONESTLY, WE DO THE LEAST AMOUNT OF WORK WHEN IT COMES TO THE EMPLOYEES IN THE CITY.

SO I WANTED TO SAY AS A FOURTH QUARTER, WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF GREAT THINGS, BUT IT'S BECAUSE OF THE STAFF AND I JUST WANTED TO CELEBRATE THEM AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR GIVING ME A FEW EXTRA MINUTES.

[APPLAUSE] WELL, THANK YOU.

JIMMY.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TIME OF YEAR AT THIS TIME OF YEAR WHEN WE GET TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF JESUS AND THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE HE MADE, YOU KNOW, AND JUST TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY THAT THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, WE ALL SHOULD MAKE A LITTLE SMALL SACRIFICE FOR SOMEBODY, WHETHER WE LIKE THEM OR NOT, MAKE THOSE LITTLE SMALL SACRIFICES.

AND IT WILL DO SO MUCH FOR NOT ONLY YOURSELF, BUT OTHERS AND JUST RECOGNIZE THAT MOVING FORWARD.

AND I THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SACRIFICES OUR OUR CITY STAFF MAKE BECAUSE THEY'RE UP HERE EVERY HOUR.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE PAYING THEM OVERTIME AND I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO ALL THAT.

THAT'S THE H.R.

DEPARTMENT.

BUT GOOD GRIEF, THEY PUT IN A LOT OF TIME.

PAYNE SAID, AS FAR AS OUR STAFF, WE HAVE HAD A BUSY COUPLE OF WEEKENDS AND IT HAS TRULY BEEN AN HONOR TO BE A PART OF SOME OF THOSE BETWEEN SANTA'S BREAKFAST, THE FUN EVENTS AT THE LIBRARY.

I JUST AM SO APPRECIATIVE OF HOW CREATIVE OUR STAFF CONTINUALLY IS.

OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, OLD TOWN EVENTS, EVERYTHING THAT HELPS US FILL THAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY MAKES ME VERY PROUD TO THAT, TO CALL THIS PLACE HOME AND TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A SMALL PART IN IT.

SO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE TREMENDOUS JOBS YOU'VE BEEN DOING.

I MEAN, JUST THE CREATIVITY FROM GIFT WRAPPING STATIONS TO STORYBOOK TIME.

WE'RE REALLY KNOCKING OUT OF THE PARK AND I'M SO PROUD OF THIS TOWN.

THANK YOU ALL.

I DIDN'T PUT ANY THOUGHT INTO WHAT I'M FIXING TO SAY HERE, SO THERE'S ONE OF THE PROGRAMS IN [INAUDIBLE] KIND OF BROUGHT ALL THE PROGRAMS. OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS A PROGRAM CALLED ARE YOU OK? AND BACK DURING THE COVID, WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE OUR ELDERLY, THEY WERE SCARED TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND WE WERE WORRIED THAT WE WERE LEAVING SOMEBODY THEY WEREN'T LEAVING.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY NEEDED.

AND CHIEF FREEMAN TEAMED UP WITH MEALS ON WHEELS, AND IT'S WORKING.

BUT THE THING ABOUT IT IS WE STILL DON'T FEEL LIKE WE'RE REACHING EVERYBODY.

SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS REACH OUT TO BURLESON AND PLEASE, IF YOU KNOW SOMEBODY THAT'S ALL ALONE OR IF YOU JUST ANY INKLING, PLEASE LET THE FIRE DEPARTMENT KNOW WE'LL DROP BY AND CHECK ON THEM AND GET THEM ON A REGISTRY SO WE CAN.

WHEN WE HAVE ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE WE NEED TO CHECK ON PEOPLE, THEY'LL KNOW WHERE TO GO.

SO AND [INAUDIBLE] DID A GOOD JOB THANKING OUR STAFF OF ALL THE STUFF THEY DO.

[00:20:06]

I MEAN, WE MIGHT SAY YES OR NO.

A LOT OF THINGS, BUT THEY DO ALL THE WORK.

SO AND I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE JOANIE SING TONIGHT.

SO THAT'S OK.

ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION THREE CHANGES TO THE

[3. CHANGES TO POSTED AGENDA]

POSTED AGENDA THREE A.

IS ITEMS TO BE CONTINUED OR WITHDRAWN AND 3B IS ITEMS TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR SEPARATE DISCUSSION OR ITEMS TO BE ADDED TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

SO I'D ASK THE CITY MANAGER LANGLEY ARE THERE ANY ITEMS TO BE CONTINUED OR WITHDRAWN? AND THEN COUNCILOR, ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THE AGENDA OR TAKE FROM REMOVED FROM THE AGENDA? ANYBODY.

WE'RE GOOD.

OK, THAT'LL MOVE US ON TO SECTION FOUR CITIZEN'S APPEARANCE.

[4. CITIZEN APPEARANCES Other than public hearings and items listed on the posted agenda, citizens in attendance who desire to speak to City Council may speak during this section. Speakers in attendance: Each person will be allowed three (3) minutes to speak and will not be interrupted by City Council or staff. If you would like to speak, please fill out a speaker card and give the completed card to the City Secretary prior to addressing City Council. Speakers not in attendance: Each person must fill out an online speaker card. Online speaker cards will be for items posted on the agenda only and must be submitted 30 minutes prior to the posted start time of the meeting. Online speaker cards will be read aloud by the City Secretary at the time the item is presented. Online speaker cards can be found on the city’s website, www.burlesontx.com on the agenda/notices page. Please note that City Council may only take action on items posted on the agenda. The Texas Open Meetings Act prohibits the City Council from deliberating or taking action on an item not listed on the agenda. City Council may, however, receive your comments on the unlisted item, ask clarifying questions, respond with facts, and explain policy.]

SO OTHER THAN PUBLIC HEARINGS AND ITEMS LISTED ON THE AGENDA, THIS IS THE POINT WHERE CITIZENS IN ATTENDANCE MAY ADDRESS THE COUNCIL, NEED TO FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD AND GIVE THAT SPEAKER ID CARD TO ME IF YOU IN ATTENDANCE.

EACH PERSON WILL BE ALLOWED THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK AND WILL COME TO THIS PODIUM HERE IMMEDIATELY TO MY RIGHT.

SPEAKER IS NOT IN ATTENDANCE, CAN FILL OUT AN ONLINE SPEAKER CARD AND SEND THAT TO MY OFFICE 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE POSTED START TIME.

AS OF THIS TIME, I HAVE NO ONLINE SPEAKER CARDS.

I DO, HOWEVER, HAVE ONE SPEAKER CARD, BILL [INAUDIBLE].

YOU SAID [INAUDIBLE].

I SAID BILL [INAUDIBLE].

OH, BILL [INAUDIBLE].

CLINTON.

I'M HERE TO DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A SIGN THAT'S RIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY MOCKING GENDER.

CATEGORIZING A MALE OR FEMALE IN QUOTES.

THEY LIKE TO SAY IT INTO PREDETERMINED CATEGORIES FOR SOME, EXTREME POLITICAL HARASSMENT IS WRONG.

THIS IS NOTHING BUT PURE HATE SPEECH FROM AN OBVIOUSLY SPINELESS INDIVIDUAL WHO ISN'T MAD ENOUGH TO LIST THEIR NAME.

THEY WANT TO BE ANONYMOUS ABOVE AND ABOUT THE SELF-STORAGE BUILDING FACILITY THAT'S DOWN THIRTY FIVE ON THE EAST SIDE OF SERVICE ROAD IS A SIGN.

BASICALLY, WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE SAYING THERE'S ONLY TWO GENDERS, WHICH I'M NOT HERE TO SAY YOUR NAME.

IT'S JUST I KNOW WHO THEY'RE TARGETING.

MOST TRYING TO BECOME SOMETHING MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE.

THEY JUST WANT TO LIVE AND EXIST.

THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL GOALS AND WANT TO BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE CITIZEN.

I WANT TO BECOME A MORE PRODUCTIVE CITIZEN.

I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE DOES, TOO.

SOME DO SUFFER, THOUGH, FROM WHETHER IT'S WORK CONDITIONS, HEALTH, FINANCES, STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT IT'S NOT FAIR FOR SOME OF THESE PEOPLE TO BE OPENLY MOCKED, FINGERS POINTED AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

I'M SURE WE'RE ALL A LITTLE BIT GUILTY OF TAKING SOME PLEASURE IN POKING FUN AT PEOPLE, BUT THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH.

FOR ME PERSONALLY, SOMEONE CAN CHOOSE TO MOCK ME OR SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT TO.

IT'S DIFFERENT.

I'LL RISE UP.

I'LL STAND UP.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

BUT YOU HAVE OTHERS THAT THEY'RE BEAT DOWN MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY.

SOMEWHERE AT THE END OF THE ROPE.

AND LIKE I SAID THIS, THIS NEEDS TO GO.

I KNOW THAT THIS IS A SIGN IT'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO THAT.

BUT WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

WE SHOULD EACH POSSESS A PASSION TO STAND UP FOR OTHERS AND SHOULD COMFORT THEM IN THEIR DARKEST HOUR.

YET SOME WILL BE ANONYMOUSLY ATTACKED, BELITTLED, OPENLY MOCKED FOR BEING THEMSELVES.

THEY LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT IT'S LIKE TO SMILE.

THEY FORGET WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE HAPPY, AND THEY LONG FOR THE DAYS JUST BE LEFT ALONE.

WE'VE ALL SEEN MEN WHO CANNOT GROW FACIAL HAIR.

WE'VE SEEN GRANNIES OR SOMETHING WITH CHIN HAIR THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY ARE.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS IS ONE THING, BUT DETERMINING SOMEBODY FROM YOUR OWN POINT OF VIEW, THAT'S FOR THE INDIVIDUALS TO DECIDE.

THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS THAT THE HATRED ON THAT SIGN IS FROM A MISFIT [INAUDIBLE].

YOU KNOW, IT'S A CAST OF ALL SHADOW DOWN ON THIS TOWN AS YOU APPROACH BURLESON FROM ALVARADO.

THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU SEE AND IT DOES STICK OUT IN YOUR MIND.

PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT DOES NEED TO GO AWAY.

I KNOW THERE'S NOTHING THE CITY CAN DO, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE EACH OF YOU OPENLY CONDEMN IT IN YOUR OWN WAY.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SAYING THAT YOU DISLIKE IT OR WHATEVER.

BUT IF YOU WOULD LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU DON'T AGREE, THAT SIGN DOES NOT.

IT'S NOT EACH [INAUDIBLE], YOU COULD HAVE KIDS.

IT'S YOUR TIME IS UP.

MR.

[00:25:01]

THAT BRINGS I HAVE NO MORE SPEAKER CARDS FOR CITIZENS APPEARANCE, ALL THE OTHER SPEAKER CARDS ARE RELATED DIRECTLY TO AN ITEM LISTED ON THE AGENDA.

SO IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON AN ITEM LISTED ON THE AGENDA, I WILL CALL YOU FORWARD AS WE CALL FORWARD THOSE ITEMS. THESE THIS SECTION IS FOR THOSE IN ATTENDANCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA.

SO WE WILL MOVE TO SECTION FIVE CONSENT AGENDA.

[5. CONSENT AGENDA All items listed below are considered to be routine by the City Council and will be enacted with one motion. There will be no separate discussion of the items unless a Councilmember or citizen so requests, in which event the item will be removed from the consent agenda and considered in its normal sequence. Approval of the consent agenda authorizes the City Manager to implement each item in accordance with staff recommendations.]

ALL ITEMS LISTED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND WILL BE ENACTED IN ONE MOTION.

THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

TONIGHT'S CONTENT AGENDA CONSISTS OF ITEMS 5A-5I.

MAYOR, IF YOU COULD ASK FOR A VOTE, PLEASE.

IS THERE A MOTION? I HAVE A MOTION BY VICTORIA AND A SECOND BY TAMARA, PLEASE VOTE.

[LAUGHTER] MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AT THIS TIME, LISTED ON OUR AGENDA IS SECTION SIX DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS.

HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME THERE IS A NEED TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[10. RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION Pursuant to Section 551.071, Texas Government Code, the Council reserves the right to convene in Executive Session(s), from time to time as deemed necessary during this meeting for any posted agenda item, to receive advice from its attorney as permitted by law. Pending or Contemplated Litigation or to Seek the Advice of the City Attorney Pursuant to Section 551.071 Discussion Regarding Possible Purchase, Exchange, Lease, or Value of Real Property Pursuant to Section 551.072 Deliberation regarding a negotiated contract for a prospective gift or donation to the state or the governmental body Pursuant to Section 551.073 Personnel Matters Pursuant to Section 551.074 Appointment of Members to Final Decision-Making Boards and Commissions Deliberation regarding (1) the deployment, or specific occasions for implementation of security personnel or devices; or (2) a security audit Pursuant to Sec. 551.076 Deliberation Regarding Commercial or Financial Information Received from or the Offer of a Financial or Other Incentive made to a Business Prospect Seeking to Locate, Stay or Expand in or Near the Territory of the City and with which the City is conducting Economic Development Negotiations Pursuant to Section 551.087 Project Warehouse Pursuant to Sec. 418.0183(f), deliberation of information related to managing emergencies and disasters including those caused by terroristic acts (must be tape recorded)]

SO PURSUANT TO SECTION 551.071 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, THE COUNCIL WILL CONVENE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THIS TIME FOR THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS THAT I WILL LIST AND ANY ITEM LEGALLY POSTED ON THE AGENDA TO RECEIVE ADVICE FROM ITS ATTORNEY.

SO ITS SECTION 551.071, 551.072, 551.073, 551.074, 551.076, 551.087, MAYOR IF YOU COULD ASK FOR A MOTION TO CONVENE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND THEN STATE THE TIME, PLEASE.

IS THERE A MOTION? WE HAVE A MOTION BY RICK AND A SECOND BY JIMMY, PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION PASSES, UNANIMOUS CLOSING GOING INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION AT SIX O'CLOCK.

I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE LITTLE EXTRA TIME WE TOOK TONIGHT.

SO ANYWAY, WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK TO BUSINESS.

IS THERE A MOTION TO RECONVENE? SO MOVED.

ARE WE GOING TO USE? YES, WE WILL BE USING THE VOTING SYSTEM.

I GOT A MOTION BY DAN AND A SECOND BY VICTORIA.

WOULD PLEASE EVERYBODY VOTE.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUS WILL RECONVENE AT 7:27.

COUNCIL MAYOR AND COUNCIL THIS AT THIS TIME, WE WILL MOVE REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS SECTION EIGHT UP IN THE AGENDA BEFORE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS.

SO THE ITEM IS 8A.

[A. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding valet services in the Old Town district (Staff Presenter: Alex Philips, Economic Development Director)]

IT'S RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION, AND GIVE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING VALET SERVICES IN THE OLD TOWN DISTRICT.

TONIGHT, STAFF PRESENTER AS ALEX PHILLIPS, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, MR. PHILLIPS, YOU'RE UP.

THANK YOU, MR. CAMPOS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL ALEX [INAUDIBLE], ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.

JUST KIND OF GIVING YOU AN UPDATE OF KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE VALET SERVICES THAT WE HAVE A TWO MONTH AGREEMENT WITH.

THAT 60-DAY TRIAL BEGIN NOVEMBER 11TH OF THIS YEAR.

HOURS OF OPERATION THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 5 P.M.

TO 12 A.M.

TWO VALET PERSONNEL ON THURSDAY, THREE ON FRIDAY, AND FOUR ON SATURDAY.

PICK UP DROP OFF LOCATION IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF HER, I'M SORRY, THE EAST SIDE OF THE PLAZA NEXT TO THE HERITAGE MUSEUM.

THE COST PER MONTH IS FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS.

THE SERVICE IS FREE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

TIPS ARE ACCEPTED BUT NOT REQUIRED.

COUNCIL OPTED TO ADD THE VALET TABLETS TO SERVICE PACKAGE.

SERVICE ALLOWS PATRONS TO E-CHECK IN AND REQUEST THEIR VEHICLE.

SO THIS KIND OF UPDATE FROM THE FIRST WEEK TO THIS LAST WEEK OF HOW MANY CARS THAT HAVE BEEN USING THE VALET.

THE FIRST WEEK WE HAD TWENTY-ONE CARS, THE SECOND WEEK, THIRTEEN CARS, THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING, WE ONLY HAD FIVE CARS AND THEY DIDN'T PERFORM THE SERVICE ON THAT HOLIDAY ON THANKSGIVING DAY.

SAME WITH THE CHRISTMAS PARADE AND THE TREE LIGHTING.

WE DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THEM DO THAT NIGHT.

JUST BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE DOWN HERE.

[00:30:01]

SO WE HAD 10 CARS THAT WEEK.

THIS LAST WEEK WE HAD 10 CARS AGAIN.

SO THE SUMMARY OF THE SERVICES, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, WE WERE TASKED WITH LOOKING AT SHUTTLE SERVICES AS WELL AND WHAT THE COST OF THAT WOULD BE.

YOU KNOW, KIND OF GOING OFF AT THE SAME TIME FRAME AND SERVICE LEVEL AS THE VALET SERVICES, THE PURCHASE OF THOSE CARTS AND THE PERSONNEL COST FOR THE SHUTTLE SERVICE.

TOTAL COST OF THE VALET IS FORTY SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS A MONTH.

TOTAL COST OF THE SHUTTLE WOULD BE AROUND FIFTY SIX HUNDRED, FIFTY SEVEN HUNDRED A MONTH.

STAFF WOULD NEED TO IDENTIFY THREE TO FOUR PICKUP DROP OFF LOCATIONS IN OLD TOWN TO PROVIDE THOSE SHUTTLE SERVICE AND ORDINATES WOULD NEED TO BE PASSED TO ALLOW THAT SERVICE AS WELL.

POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL COST FOR INSURANCE ON THE SHUTTLE SERVICE JUST AS FIRST GLANCE.

SO, YOU KNOW, JUST LOOKING FOR STAFF DIRECTION.

I MEAN, ON THE VALET SERVICES, WE CAN EXTEND THAT SERVICE, CONSIDER THE SHUTTLE ALTERNATIVE, OFFER NO SHUTTLE AND OR VALET SERVICES AT THIS TIME OR ANY OTHER DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL.

RIGHT NOW, THAT CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH THE VALET SERVICES RUNS THROUGH JANUARY 11TH AND THEN IT WOULD BE WE'RE DONE WITH VALET UNLESS WE WANT TO EXTEND THAT AGREEMENT.

SO JUST LOOKING FOR STAFF DIRECTION, COUNCIL DIRECTION FOR STAFF, SO WE'RE OBLIGATED TO RUN THROUGH JANUARY.

JANUARY 11TH.

BASED ON THE CONTRACT WE SIGNED.

WELL, ALEX, I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR.

WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT THE PARKING.

IT'S BEEN A MAJOR CONCERN.

IT'S A VERY COMMON TOPIC OF PEOPLE THAT COME DOWN TO THIS AREA.

THE OWNERS THAT I TALKED TO THAT ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE VALET.

THEY WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF IT.

I DID SPEAK TO SOME, THOUGH, THAT WEREN'T EVEN AWARE THAT WE HAD VALET YET, AND THAT WAS MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF IT OVER THERE ALONG THE THE GRUMPS AND THAT, YOU KNOW, FRESCOS AND ALONG THAT ROAD RODE ALONG THERE THAT WASN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE VALET.

SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK I THINK OVER TIME, IT'LL DEFINITELY TAKE GETTING THE WORD OUT AND WHAT HAVE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT PER SAY, BUT I GREATLY THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND THE VALET.

THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE USED IT HAVE BEEN VERY POSITIVE ABOUT IT.

SO, THANK YOU.

IN THIS AGAIN, I MEAN, THE TWO MONTHS IS UP AND THEN ONCE MAYBE ELLISON STREET GETS DEVELOPED FULLY OUT THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT, BRING IT BACK FOR A TWO MONTH PERIOD TO SEE IF IT'S BETTER UTILIZED.

SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT LATER DOWN THE ROAD AS WELL.

WILL YOU PROVIDE A FINAL ANALYSIS AT THE END OF JANUARY 11TH, JUST MAYBE IN A FRIDAY REPORT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW? YES, MA'AM.

FULL PRESENTATION.

YES, MA'AM.

SO IS IT COUNCIL'S DIRECTION TO END THE SERVICE AFTER JANUARY 11TH, KIND OF Y'ALL'S DIRECTION? WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION.

WELL, I COMMENTED AT THE OUTSET THAT I THOUGHT WE WERE PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF OURSELVES STARTING IT WHEN WE DID ALEX, AND I THINK IT'LL COME BACK.

DAN.

THE QUESTION IN MY MIND IS WHETHER TO CONTINUE IT SO THAT IT PICKS UP USAGE, WHICH WE THINK I THINK IT WILL WHEN MORE PEOPLE GET USED TO, WHETHER IT BE WORTHWHILE TO DO THAT UNTIL RESIDUES AND [INAUDIBLE] AND THE REST OF THE POSITIVE ELEMENTS OPEN UP OR WHETHER WE'D BE READY TO JUST CUT IT OFF AT THIS POINT.

OK, IT WAS A TRIAL RUN.

NOW WE KIND OF KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK WHEN THE DEMAND IS LIKELY TO BE THERE.

WE'LL FIRE IT BACK OFF AGAIN.

I THINK THAT'S WHERE [INAUDIBLE].

YES, SIR, I DON'T.

I DON'T THINK IT'S WORTHWHILE TO CARRY IT RIGHT NOW AND IN THE INTERIM TIME.

I AGREE TO TO PAUSE IT AFTER THE 11TH.

I'D BE CURIOUS JUST MOVING FORWARD WHEN WE DO LOOK AT IT AGAIN.

IS THERE A SEASONAL WAY OF DOING THIS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THERE'S OBVIOUSLY HOTTER SEASONS THAN OTHERS, YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW, I CAN'T IMAGINE JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH WHEN IT'S REALLY, REALLY COLD.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T GO OUT AS MUCH, ALTHOUGH THEY DON'T WANT TO WALK AT THAT POINT.

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE SEASONAL CONTRACTS BECAUSE I COULD SEE SOME ARE BEING OBVIOUSLY HUGE FROM THE SPRING ON UNTIL IT STARTS GETTING A LITTLE BIT.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN WORK WITH THEM TO SEE IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHEN WE BRING IT BACK.

AND I'M A LONG LINES WITH DAN AS WELL.

I THINK THIS WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AND THAT WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO WAS WE NEED TO IDENTIFY WHAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS RESOURCES GO, HOW BEST TO UTILIZE THOSE RESOURCES BEFORE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT OUR PARKING PROBLEM.

SO THIS, I THINK, WAS A HUGE SUCCESS IN MY IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

ONE OF THE THINGS I TALKED TO WAS THE ALLEYWAY, AND THE PARKING WAS VERY GOOD FOR THE VALETS.

THEY SAID THEY WERE ABLE TO ACCESS IT VERY WELL.

IT ALLOWED THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLES IN AND OUT VERY QUICKLY.

I DID.

I USED IT ONCE ALONG WITH THAT TABLET.

[00:35:01]

I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ALL HAD A CHANCE TO.

IT WAS NICE BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO ORDER THE CAR AND AS SOON AS I WALKED OUT FRONT, THE CAR WAS ALREADY THERE.

SO YEAH.

IT WAS NOT TOO INCONVENIENT.

SO I THINK THERE WAS A LOT OF HUGE SUCCESSES AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE IT WHENEVER WE GET TO PUT IT OUT THERE WITH ALL THE WITH ALL OF OUR RESTAURANTS COMING IN AND THAT PARKING, IT REALLY DOES BECOME A MAJOR ISSUE.

SO THANK YOU.

SO YOUR WHAT IS YOUR POSITION? YOU WANT TO KEEP IT NOW OR JUST TILL THE END OF JANUARY? AND THEN THEN WE REEVALUATE, WE FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKED WELL, WHAT DIDN'T WORK WELL, WE TWEAK IT AND WE BRING IT BACK.

AND IN A NEW AND IMPROVED FASHION WHENEVER THE NEW RESTAURANTS HIT, OK, WE CAN DO THAT.

I THINK WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE.

OK, THANK YOU, GUYS.

OKAY MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

NEXT UP IS 8B RECEIVE A REPORT AND HOLD A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE QUILL MILLER

[B. Receive a report and hold a discussion regarding the Quil Miller Drainage Basin (Staff Presenter: Michelle McCullough, Public Works Assistant Director - Development)]

DRAINAGE BASIN.

THE STAFF PRESENTER TODAY IS MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, PUBLIC WORKS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR DEVELOPMENT MS. MCCULLOUGH.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AS MS. CAMPOS SAID, MY NAME IS MICHELE MCCULLOUGH AND I'M THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS OVER DEVELOPMENT, AND I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SPECIFICALLY QUILL MILLER.

WE HAVE HEARD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT FLOODING AND ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT, SO WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT TOGETHER A PRESENTATION THAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY IN BURLESON WITH THE MAPS AND ALSO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT QUILL MILLER FROM HIDDEN CREEK PARKWAY TO FOX LANE.

SO JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND.

IN CASE SOME DIDN'T KNOW, THE FIRST FEMA MAPS FOR THE CITY OF BURLESON CAME OUT IN 1973 IN 1968 AND THROW A LOT OF DATES OUT AT YOU.

IN 1968, THAT'S WHEN THE NFIP, THE NATIONAL FLOODPLAIN INSURANCE PROGRAM, WAS ESTABLISHED AND THEIR MAIN GOAL WAS REDUCING FLOODING, REDUCING THE FLOOD AND PROTECTING HOMES.

AND SO, LIKE I SAID, 1973.

BURLESON ISSUED THE FIRST MAP OR THE FIRST MAPS WERE ISSUED IN BURLESON.

COUNTY WIDE MAPS WERE NOT ISSUED UNTIL 1991 AND IN 2012, DECEMBER 12, 2012, THE JOHNSON COUNTY MAPS WERE UPDATED AND THEN CURRENTLY THE TRINITY REGIONAL FLOOD PLANNING GROUP IS CONDUCTING A STUDY AND THERE'S GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL UPDATES COMING OUT.

AND SO STRUCTURES THAT WERE EXISTING BEFORE THE MAPS CAME OUT, THEY'RE CONSIDERED PRETTY FIRM BECAUSE THE MAPS ARE CALLED FIRM MAPS.

SO THOSE ARE STRUCTURES THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED WITHOUT ANY FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS.

IF YOU DO ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THEM, IF THEY'RE DAMAGED MORE THAN 50 PERCENT, THEN YOU HAVE TO COME IN TO TODAY'S REGULATIONS.

AND WE ARE A MEMBER OF THE NFIP, AND FEMA DOES REQUIRE INSURANCE FOR FEDERALLY BACKED LOANS FOR RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND THE FLOODPLAIN.

AND THEN JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

SO IT'S BASICALLY MADE UP YOUR FLOODWAY, WHICH ARE FLOODWAY, IS YOUR AREA OF YOUR FASTEST VELOCITIES AND MOST DAMAGE THAT USUALLY OCCUR.

THEN YOU HAVE YOUR FLOOD FRINGE AND YOUR FLOOD FRINGE IS YOUR SLOWER MOVING WATER, AND MOST OF YOUR DAMAGE IS FROM BASICALLY RISING WATER AND FLOOD.

BOTH OF THOSE MAKE UP YOUR YOUR FLOOD PLAIN.

THEORETICALLY, FEMA ALLOWS YOU TO FILL THE ENTIRE FLOOD FRINGE IN, AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE ORANGE THERE.

YOU CAN FILL THAT IN, AND THAT WILL CREATE A RISE IN THE ELEVATION OF YOUR WATER SURFACE ELEVATION A FOOT.

AND SO JUST STOP ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

BUT THEY DO ALLOW THE FILL.

WE DO ALLOW FILL AND I'LL GET INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF OUR REGULATIONS, BUT WE HAVE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER STANDARD.

SO WITH OUR DESIGN STORMS, WHAT WE LOOK AT IS YOUR 100TH YEAR AND THAT'S WHAT WE BASE ALL OF OUR DESIGNS ON.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 3.75 INCHES IN AN HOUR.

IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT, BUT I MEAN, THAT'S TALKING ABOUT JUST THREE INCHES, ALMOST FOUR INCHES IN AN HOUR.

SO IT'S A LOT OF RAIN.

AND WHAT A HUNDRED YEAR STORM BASICALLY MEANS IS YOU HAVE ONE PERCENT CHANCE OF THIS TYPE OF A STORM.

HAPPENING EVERY YEAR DOESN'T MEAN IT'S ONLY GOING TO HAPPEN ONCE.

DOESN'T MEAN IT CAN'T HAPPEN TEN TIMES.

IT'S JUST A ONE PERCENT CHANCE.

SO THERE'S THREE TYPES OF MAPPING HERE, AND THERE'S YOU'VE GOT A LOMA AND A LOMA IS A LETTER OF MAP AMENDMENT.

AND SO WHEN FEMA CREATES THEIR MAPS, IT'S BASED ON YOUR HIGH LEVEL DATA.

[00:40:01]

THEY DON'T GO OUT, THEY DON'T GET ON THE GROUND SURVEY.

SO THEY MIGHT USE CONTOUR MAPS.

THEY MIGHT USE LIDAR.

SO YOUR DATA THAT YOU'RE USING IS NOT REAL DETAILED.

AND SO SOMETIMES THEY'RE STRUCTURES THAT ARE INADVERTENTLY MAPPED INTO THE FLOODPLAIN.

THOSE CAN BE REMOVED.

SUBMITTING A LOMA TO FEMA, YOU ALSO HAVE A LOMA-F, WHICH IS A LETTER OF MAP REVISION BASED ON FILL.

AND IF YOU REMEMBER THE FLOOD FRINGE, IF YOU PLACE FILL, WE REQUIRE A LOMA-F TO BE SUBMITTED TO FEMA AND REVIEWED AND APPROVED.

SO THAT REQUIRES AN ANALYSIS TECHNICAL DATA, ELEVATION CERTIFICATE, WHICH RECORDS OR DOCUMENTS THE TOP OF YOUR SLAB.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN AND THERE IS SOME COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

YOUR LOMA IS A LETTER OF MAP REVISION THAT ACTUALLY CHANGES THE MAP BOUNDARY.

AND SO WHAT I HAVE UP THERE, THIS IS PINNACLE ESTATES.

THIS IS ON THE EAST SIDE AND YOU CAN SEE THE AREA THAT'S SHADED IN BLUE.

THAT WAS AN AREA THAT WAS RECLAIMED BY THE DEVELOPER.

AND SO THE DARK BLUE LINE IS THE NEW FEMA LINE.

AND THEN THE KIND OF DASH LINE IS THE ORIGINAL FEMA.

AND I'LL GET MORE AND EXPLAIN MORE ABOUT OUR REGULATIONS AND HOW THIS KIND OF RELATES.

IT WAS KIND OF HARD PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE IT ALL RELATES.

BUT TO TRY TO PUT IT IN A TIMELINE WAS A LITTLE WAS A LITTLE HARD.

HE SO I LIKE THIS GRAPHIC BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.

TODAY'S FLOOD PLAIN IS NOT NECESSARILY TOMORROW'S FLOOD PLAIN.

FEMA IS ALWAYS LOOKING AT IT.

FEMA IS ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW CAN THEY WHAT REGULATIONS CAN THEY GO AHEAD AND PUT IN PLACE IN ORDER TO PROTECT PROPERTY? ANYBODY FAMILIAR WITH KATRINA OR ANY OF THOSE HURRICANES, YOU KNOW THAT THIS BEEN SOME SOME PRETTY MASSIVE FLOODING ISSUES.

AND SO WHAT I DID WITH A TABLE HERE IS YOU'VE GOT FEMA REGULATIONS AND CITY REGULATIONS.

AND HERE WHAT I'M TRYING TO POINT OUT IS WE DO OUR REGULATIONS ARE HIGHER THAN FEMA'S MINIMUM REGULATIONS.

SO WITH FEMA, THEY THERE'S OUR MODEL TO EXISTING CONDITIONS.

SO IT'S WHAT'S ON THE GROUND AT THE TIME THAT THEY COLLECTED THE DATA AND THE MODELING THAT THEY DO.

WE HAVE A MASTER DRAINAGE STUDY, WHICH WE'RE GOING THROUGH UPDATES RIGHT NOW.

OUR MASTER DRAINAGE STUDY IS UPDATED TO REFLECT EXISTING AND FUTURE CONDITIONS.

SO WE LOOK AT ALL OF IT AND WE USE OUR LAND USE CONDITIONS, OUR FUTURE LAND USE CONDITIONS TO LOOK AT THAT.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT YOUR ULTIMATE FLOWS, NOT YOUR EXISTING FLOWS.

AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, FEMA DOES ALLOW THE FLOOD FRINGE TO BE FILLED AND THEORETICALLY, IT CAN RISE, CREATING A ONE FOOT OR THEORETICALLY CREATE A ONE FOOT RISE IN THE FLOODPLAIN.

WE DON'T ALLOW A RISE AT ALL, BUT THAT'S TO OUR MASTER DRAINAGE STUDY.

SO OUR FLOWS ARE THEORETICALLY LITTLE HIGHER.

IT CAN BE AT OR A LITTLE BIT HIGHER AGAIN.

AS WE GET MORE DETAILED DATA, WE DRILL DOWN THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

FEMA ALLOWS THE TOP OF YOUR LOWEST FLOOR TO BE AT YOUR BASE FLOOD ELEVATION OR THE EXPECTED HEIGHT OF WATER.

WE REQUIRE IT TO BE TWO FEET.

SO AGAIN, WE'VE GOT THAT TWO FEET OF FACTOR SEISMIC SAFETY BUILT IN THERE.

FEMA ALLOWS THE STRUCTURE STRUCTURES TO BE BUILT IN THE FLOODPLAIN AT THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION, AND I'LL GET INTO A LITTLE BIT.

WE DO ALLOW SINGLE LOTS OR LESS THAN TWO ACRE DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN WITH A LOMA-F.

BUT ALL OF OUR NEW SUBDIVISIONS THEY MUST DESIGN SO THAT ALL THE STRUCTURES ARE OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

AND THAT IS A LOMA, LETTER OF MAP REVISION THAT IS SUBMITTED TO FEMA INEFFECTIVELY CHANGES THE MAP BOUNDARY.

SO THIS IS JUST A COMPARISON OF OUR REGULATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENTS LESS THAN TWO ACRES AND DEVELOPMENTS GREATER THAN TWO ACRES.

AND SO YOUR MOST OF YOUR SUBDIVISIONS THAT COME IN, THEY'RE GREATER THAN TWO ACRES, SO THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO YOUR FLOOD ANALYSIS, YOUR LOMA OR YOUR [INAUDIBLE], WHICH WILL BE SUBMITTED TO FEMA.

IT THEY WILL BE REQUIRED, EVEN THOSE LOTS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE FLOODPLAIN.

EVEN THOUGH THE STRUCTURE AND THE LOT IS MAINLY OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN, WE STILL REQUIRE THOSE STRUCTURES TO BE SET TWO FEET ABOVE.

SO AGAIN, IT'S JUST ANOTHER HIGHER MEASURE OF PROTECTION THAT WE HAVE.

WE ALSO ON TOP OF THE FLOOD STUDY, WE DO REQUIRE A DETENTION ANALYSIS BECAUSE IF YOU REMEMBER, I THINK ONE OF THE MEETINGS THAT I WAS AT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO DETAIN RIGHT NEXT TO THE FLOODPLAIN BECAUSE THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE THAT PEAK ON PEAK.

YOU WANT THAT WATER TO GET INTO THE FLOODPLAIN AND DOWNSTREAM FOR BEFORE THE REST OF THE WATER COMES.

AND SO WE WILL GO AHEAD AND REQUIRE A DETENTION ANALYSIS JUST TO CONFIRM THAT.

SO AGAIN, ON TOP OF THE FLOOD ANALYSIS, WE GO A LITTLE BIT EXTRA.

FOR THE DEVELOPMENT'S LESS THAN TWO ACRES.

AGAIN, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND CONSTRUCT IN THE FLOODPLAIN, BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO BUILD

[00:45:03]

YOUR STRUCTURE UP ABOVE YOU.

STILL, ANYTHING HABITABLE.

SHEDS ARE NOT INSURABLE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, AND WE STILL ENCOURAGE THOSE TO BE CONSTRUCTED ABOVE, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE.

SO WHY DO WE DO WATERSHED STUDIES? THIS SLIDE WAS ALSO IN OUR WATERSHED UPDATE THAT WE CAME BACK THE FIRST OF THE YEAR FOR OUR UPDATE TO OUR WILLOW CREEK AND VILLAGE CREEK CONTRACT.

BUT IT ENSURES THAT OUR FLOOD DATA IS CURRENT AND AGAIN, AS WE DO THESE MORE DETAILED STUDIES THAN WHAT FEMA HAS.

WE COLLECT BETTER DATA.

WE COLLECT WE, THE CONSULTANT WILL GO OUT AND THEY'LL GET SURVEY OF THE CULVERTS.

THEY'LL GO AHEAD AND GET ACTUAL ON THE GROUND DATA.

WE ALSO CAN IDENTIFY PROBLEMATIC AREAS.

THIS IS COUNTY ROAD 714 AT ONE OF THE CURVES RIGHT BEFORE GRACE CHURCH.

SO THIS FREQUENTLY GOES UNDERWATER WHEN WE HAVE SOME HEAVY RAINS AND WE GO OUT AND WE BARRICADE IT.

IT ALSO HELPS IDENTIFY PROJECTS THAT COULD BE INCLUDED INTO THE CAPITAL PLAN.

CURRENTLY, WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDENTIFIED AS FAR AS THAT WE'VE INCLUDED SO FAR.

WE'RE USING THE UPDATES TO IDENTIFY SOME PROJECTS, AND I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF SLIDES ON THAT AS WELL.

HERE'S A LITTLE HISTORY.

WE'VE HAD SIGNIFICANT GROWTH.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY THAT'S HERE KNOWS THAT WE'VE HAD SIGNIFICANT GROWTH OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS.

SO THIS SLIDE IS JUST TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THAT GROWTH THAT HAS OCCURRED.

WE EXPECT CONTINUED SIGNIFICANT GROWTH THROUGH THE AREAS WE ANNEX AREAS IN.

YOU'VE GOT CHISMHOLM SUMMIT OUT WEST IS EXPECTED JUST TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND JUST AGAIN, A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY.

OUR FIRST MASTER DRAINAGE STUDY, IT WAS INITIATED IN 2006 OR COMPLETED IN 2006.

IT WAS CITY WIDE.

IT DID INCLUDE PORTIONS OF THE ETJ, BUT AGAIN, IT WAS VERY HIGH LEVEL.

THAT STUDY DID GENERATE AN EXISTING AND USE FUTURE 100 YEAR DISCHARGES, AND WE STILL USE THAT STUDY TODAY TO MAKE SOME OF OUR DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE, ALTHOUGH, LIKE I SAID, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING.

SO THIS SLIDE HERE, I DO LIKE IT GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT.

THERE'S A LOT OF TRUTH TO IT.

OLD DATA.

IT'S NEEDS TO BE UPDATED OVER, YOU KNOW, OVER TIME, YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON OLD DATA.

YOU RUN THE RISK OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE AT RISK THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT.

SO JUST UPDATING THESE EVERY FIVE TO TEN YEARS IS A GOOD IDEA.

REGULATIONS CHANGE.

WE MAY WANT TO REVISIT OUR REGULATIONS.

THE CURRENT REGULATIONS TODAY MAY NOT PROTECT THE PROPERTY AS INTENDED.

AND SO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND REVIEW THOSE AS WELL AS YOU'RE DOING YOUR DRAINAGE STUDIES.

YOU HAVE A CAPITAL PLAN THAT COULD BE BASED ON OLD DATA.

YOU MIGHT BE SPENDING MONEY THAT IS NOT REALLY NOT REALLY BENEFITING YOU.

YOU'RE SPENDING MONEY BASED ON OLD DATA, SO YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO SPEND SOME TIME UPDATING.

SO WHAT WE DID WHEN WE STARTED MOVING FORWARD WITH THE UPDATE, WHAT WE DISCOVERED WAS IF WE WERE TO DO THE CITY WIDE DRAINAGE ANALYSIS, DRAINAGE UPDATE, IT WOULD BE WELL OVER $2 MILLION.

SO WE TOOK A STEP BACK.

THE INITIAL 2006 WAS ONLY ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND, TOOK A STEP BACK AND LOOKED AT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS PREDICTED OR WE THOUGHT WAS GOING TO OCCUR BASED ON DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.

AND SO WE SET OUT TO DO A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TWO TO THREE WATERSHEDS A YEAR TO GET THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND DETAILED DATA THAT WE CAN GET.

IT WILL INCREASE THE ACCURACY OF THE WATERSHEDS AND LOOK AT ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS.

DRAINAGES ARE EXPENSIVE.

EXPENSIVE PROJECTS ARE EXPENSIVE.

SO IF WE TOOK THIS TARGETED APPROACH, WE COULD LOOK MORE SYSTEMATICALLY AT WHAT MADE MORE SENSE.

SO THIS IS THIS.

THIS IS WHAT WE PUT TOGETHER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

SO IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN, THE SHANNON CREEK AND TOWN CREEK STUDY WAS APPROVED.

THAT ONE WAS TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND.

WILLOW CREEK AND VILLAGE CREEK WAS JUST APPROVED.

WE ARE BEHIND A YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF DUE TO COVID.

WE DID PUSH BACK THE STUDY JUST BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT COVID WAS GOING TO DO.

WE DO HAVE QUILL MILLER TARGETED FOR 2023 AND THEN NORTH CREEK, EXCUSE ME, HURST CREEK, WALNUT CREEK WALK, ROCK CREEK.

THOSE ARE ALL SMALLER BASINS WITH NOT A WHOLE LOT OF DEVELOPMENT AND MAINLY IN OUR ETJ.

SO THOSE ARE TARGETED FOR THE END OF 2025.

SO THE BENEFITS OF THE STUDY, IT IDENTIFIES AT RISK PROPERTIES CURRENTLY NOT SHOWN ON FEMA'S MAP.

THIS IS THE SHANNON CREEK AND TOWN CREEK OR FROM THAT ONE, THIS IS SHANNON CREEK THAT'S ACTUALLY SHOWN ON THE SCREEN.

AND ACTUALLY, I'M SORRY, THAT'S ACTUALLY TOWN CREEK SHOWN ON THE SCREEN.

[00:50:03]

SO WHAT WE FOUND IS IT IDENTIFIED FIFTY ONE PROPERTIES THAT MAY NOT KNOW THEY'RE AT RISK, SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN THE FLOODPLAIN AND THESE PROPERTY OWNERS MAY NOT KNOW.

SO IF WE HAVE THAT STORM THAT COMES THROUGH AND THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE AT RISK AND THEY DON'T HAVE FLOOD INSURANCE.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE PROTECTED.

SO WHAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS, WE HAVE SUBMITTED THE LOMA TO FEMA FOR THIS ONE.

AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO NOTIFY THE RESIDENTS TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY ARE WITHIN A FLOODPLAIN.

I WAS GOING TO ASK THAT, MICHELLE, LIKE SO ONCE WE GET THIS INFORMATION BACK, HOW DO WE TELL RESIDENTS, HOW DO WE NOTIFY THEM BY LETTERS BY? WE'RE GOING TO SEND THEM LETTERS AND WE'RE GOING TO SEND IT PRIOR TO THE LOMA BEING APPROVED BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL SHOWN OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

SO YOUR INSURANCE SHOULD BE CHEAPER SO THEY CAN GO AHEAD IF THEY OPTED TO AND IT'S GOING TO BE THEIR CHOICE, THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND GET INSURANCE AND IT SHOULD BE AT A CHEAPER RATE.

SO AGAIN, IT'S BETTER DECISION MAKING TOOLS FOR PROPERTY, PROPERTY OWNERS AND STAFF.

ON THE FLIP SIDE, IT REMOVES IT CAN REMOVE PROPERTIES FROM THE FLOODPLAIN, IT CAN MAKE THEM MORE DEVELOPABLE.

IT ALSO REMOVES THE REQUIREMENT FOR FLOOD INSURANCE.

AND IF YOU HAVE A STRUCTURE THAT IS CURRENTLY SHOWN IN THE FLOODPLAIN, BUT YET OUR STUDY SHOWS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

ONCE WE DO THIS LOMA, THEN IT'S GOING TO REMOVE THEM AND IT'S GOING TO REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT.

WE'RE ALSO GOING TO NOTIFY THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS AS WELL.

AND AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, THE BENEFITS OF THIS STUDY.

THIS IS WARREN STREET.

AND IN OUR 2006 STUDY, THE IMPROVEMENTS ESTIMATED TO BE $2 MILLION.

SO THAT INCLUDES IMPROVEMENTS AT THE RAILROAD DOWNSTREAM.

AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO RAISE THE ROAD 1.7 FEET.

WHAT WE FOUND WITH OUR MORE DETAILED STUDY IS THAT IT WAS $2.4 MILLION.

DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT MORE, BUT YOU'RE ONLY PROTECTED TO A 10-YEAR STORM, SO IT'S MUCH SMALLER THAN YOUR DESIGNED STORM.

BUT THIS ROAD WILL STILL FLOOD IN A DESIGN STORM SO YOU CAN SPEND 2.4 MILLION DOLLARS RAISING THE ROAD TWO AND A HALF FEET, AND YOU'RE STILL NOT OUT OF THE DANGER.

SO WHAT WE CAN DO, THOUGH, IS TAKE SOME OF THE DOLLARS AND WE CAN PUT IN BETTER WARNING SYSTEMS. WE CAN PUT IN AUTOMATIC GATES, WE CAN PUT IN SENSORS IN THE CREEKS.

SO WHEN THE CREEK RISES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, IT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES THE ROAD.

WE CAN PUT FLASHING LIGHTS OUT.

I'M SORRY AND PUT SIGNS.

AND SO WHILE YOU'RE NOT PROTECTING IT TO THAT, THAT DESIGN STORM, YOU'RE STILL GIVING IT A LEVEL OF PROTECTION.

YOU'RE SPENDING LESS MONEY.

AND IT'S TO ME, YOU'RE WITH THE FLASHING LIGHTS AND THE AUTOMATIC GATES.

YOU'RE PROTECTING LIVES.

SO LET ME GET A LITTLE BIT INTO QUILL MILLER BASIN.

SO THIS IS NOT THE FULL BLOWN MASTER DRAINAGE STUDY UPDATE.

THIS IS JUST A HIGH LEVEL TARGETED WHAT I'M CALLING A TARGETED STUDY AREA AND UP IN GREEN ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.

IF I CAN FIND MY MOUSE.

THIS IS THE AREA THAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS TARGETED STUDY.

SO THE REASON WHY WE LOOKED AT THIS IS WE HEARD SOME CONCERNS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES.

CONCERNS OF STRUCTURE FLOODING FROM HIDDEN CREEK PARKWAY TO FOX LANE.

STREET FLOODING RENFRO STREET.

ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE AFFECTING QUIL MILLER.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, DAMAGE TO EXISTING PROPERTIES.

SO I THINK ONE IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE, THE RED OUTLINE IS OUR CITY LIMIT LINE.

THE BLUE IS THE QUIL MILLER BASIN.

SO THE OVERALL QUIL MILLER DRAINAGE BASIN IS TWENTY THREE SQUARE MILES.

WE ONLY HAVE JURISDICTION OVER FOUR AND A HALF OF THAT.

THE COUNTY HAS JURISDICTION FOR EVERYTHING WITHIN THE ETJ PER OUR INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE QUIL MILLER TARGETED STUDY, IT'S ONLY A 0.25 SQUARE MILES AND ONLY ABOUT 0.2 OF THAT IS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

SO OUR REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE ARE HIGHER STANDARDS FOR QUIL MILLER.

THIS IS, WE CAN ONLY ENFORCE IT IN FOUR AND A HALF SQUARE MILES.

SO LIKE I SAID, WE RETAINED A CONSULTANT.

AND WHAT WE DID IS WE ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THIS AND CONSIDER THREE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES TO ANALYZING DREDGING.

AND SO WE LOOKED AT FROM THE LIMITS WERE FROM HIDDEN CREEK PARKWAY TO FOX LANE.

WE ALSO ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IMPROVEMENTS AT EAST RENFRO AND IMPROVEMENTS AT FOX LANE.

NOW I DON'T HAVE THE RESULTS YET.

I HAVE SOME PRELIMINARY RESULTS I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU, BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE FINISHED UNTIL AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.

[00:55:03]

SO I DID TAKE A LOOK AT THE ANNEXATION, GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE CITY MAPS.

THE FEMA MAPS WEREN'T ISSUED UNTIL 1973 FOR THE CITY OF BURLESON, SO I WANTED TO SEE HOW DID THE REST OF IT FIT IN BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES WERE ANNEXED.

SO THE NORTH FOX LANE PROPERTIES, THOSE ARE SHOWN IN GREEN.

THOSE WERE ANNEXED IN 1983.

SO WHEN THE BURLESON, WHEN THE MAPS CAME OUT FOR THE CITY OF BURLESON, THOSE PROPERTIES WERE OUT OF THE CITY LIMITS.

SO THEY WERE THEY WERE NOT SUBJECT TO OUR REGULATIONS.

AND IF YOU REMEMBER, I BELIEVE I SAID 1991 WAS THE COUNTYWIDE MAPS THAT CAME OUT, SO THEY WOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY KIND OF REGULATION UNTIL 1991 IF THEY HAD STAYED OUT IN THE COUNTY, BUT WE ANNEXED THEM IN 1983.

SOME OF THE PROPERTIES I KNOW THERE'S AT LEAST TWO TO THREE PROPERTIES SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE AND THOSE WERE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO CITY STANDARDS.

SOUTH FOX LANE AND THE BOWDEN ACRES PROPERTIES.

AGAIN, NO FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS UNTIL 1991, WHEN THE COUNTY WIDE MAPS WERE ISSUED IN 2008 IS WHEN ANNEXATION OCCURRED FOR THE SOUTH FOX LANE PROPERTIES AND BOWDEN CIRCLE REGULATIONS FOR FOUR BOWDEN CIRCLE ITSELF.

THAT ONE HAS A ZONING OF MANUFACTURED HOMES.

IT'S A LITTLE HARDER TO REGULATOR IN FORCE JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED AN ACTUAL BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE TRAILERS.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PERMIT, BUT NOT NECESSARY, NOT NECESSARILY A BUILDING PERMIT.

AND WE HAVE HAD TRAILERS MOVED IN THAT DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY PERMITS.

THEY WERE HOOKED UP.

AND SO WE DIDN'T KNOW.

SO WE DO GO THROUGH THERE EVERY NOW AND THEN, AND WE KIND OF MAKE NOTE OF WHAT'S OUT THERE AND IF WE NEED TO, WE MAKE CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.

SO I ADDED A COUPLE OF PHOTOS THAT I TOOK IN MAY OF 2015.

IF FOR ANYONE THAT REMEMBERS THAT WAS HERE, I THINK WE HAD RAIN TWENTY NINE OUT OF THE THIRTY ONE DAYS.

BUT THIS WAS LATER IN THE MONTH GROUND WAS SATURATED, SO BASICALLY EVERYTHING THAT FELL OF RAN OFF.

SO YOU CAN SEE BISD.

I WAS UP ON THEIR PROPERTY, THEIR PRACTICE FIELD LOOKING DOWN OVER FOX LANE.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE CURVE AT FOX LANE TO THE NORTH.

THIS IS THE PROPERTY AS THE ROAD CURVES AROUND.

AND THEN THIS IS ALSO A PROPERTY THAT IS OFF OF NORTH FOX LANE.

THIS IS JUST EAST RENFRO.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS HOUSE RIGHT HERE, IT'S ELEVATED THE BOTTOM.

I'VE NOT BEEN INSIDE OF IT, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE LIVING QUARTERS ARE UP ON THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM SHOULD BE STORAGE.

THIS IS LOCATED ACTUALLY IN THE FLOODWAY AND WAS CONSTRUCTED PRE-FIRM MAPS.

I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY PHONE CALLS FROM THEM AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THEY HAVE FLOODED.

THIS IS BOWDEN ACRES, THESE TWO RIGHT HERE ARE ABOUT AND THIS IS OFF BOWDEN CIRCLE AND THEN THIS I JUST TOOK WHEN I WAS ON THE HIDDEN CREEK BRIDGE LOOKING TO THE NORTH.

SO YOU CAN SEE IT'S NOT THE GREATEST PHOTO, BUT YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LOT OF WATER GOING THROUGH THERE.

SO I ADDED THIS SLIDE JUST TO GIVE YOU A KIND OF A CONTEXT OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ON DEPTH.

SO RIGHT THERE AT THE CURVE ON FOX LANE, I'LL JUST GO FROM THE TOP OF THE PAGE DOWN AT THAT HUNDRED YEAR DESIGN STORE AND THAT ONE PERCENT CHANCE EVERY YEAR.

THE MODEL PREDICTS THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE TWO TO THREE FEET HIGH THE WATER AT THE EDGE OF THE FLOODPLAIN ON THE EASTERN SIDE, ABOUT ONE FOOT IN THE CENTER OF THE CREEK.

IF YOU'RE STANDING AT THE BOTTOM, YOU'RE TALKING 17 FEET OF WATER.

WHAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS YOU CAN SEE THERE'S THIS HOUSE RIGHT HERE.

IF YOU CAN SEE MY CURSOR, BARELY SEE IT RIGHT THERE.

THAT WAS ALSO.

THIS HOUSE RIGHT HERE, 255 FOX LANE.

SO IF YOU, IF I WOULD ZOOM IN, YOU COULD SEE THE FLOOD PLAIN ACTUALLY WRAPS AROUND THE HOUSE.

THE HOUSE IS OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

IT'S ELEVATED ABOUT FIVE FEET.

THERE'S A RETAINING WALL THAT'S AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.

SO THE WATER IS WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FLOODPLAIN, BUT THE HOUSES SHOULD NOT GET WATER IN IT.

BASED ON THE DATA THAT WE HAVE.

AGAIN, YOU CAN KEEP GOING DOWN 16 FEET, BOWDEN CIRCLE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ABOUT FOUR FEET OF WATER, SO THOSE STRUCTURES MOST LIKELY WILL HAVE WATER IN IT AT A HUNDRED YEAR STORM.

AND THEN RENFRO, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS IT WOULD BE UNDERWATER APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS.

[01:00:01]

THE WATER WOULD RECEDE AND IT WOULD BE PASSABLE AT THAT POINT, DEPENDING ON DEBRIS.

SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS THAT WE HAVE FROM THE CONSULTANT.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT DREDGING AND CHANNELIZATION.

SO THEY LOOKED AT CHANNEL, THEY LOOKED AT THIS FROM HIDDEN CREEK PARKWAY ONLY TO RENFRO.

ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY DID THAT IS RENFRO BASICALLY ACTS AS A DAM.

SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO IMPROVE RENFRO, WHICH THEY ARE LOOKING AT, THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON THAT WHEN WE MET AND GOT THIS INFORMATION FROM THEM.

BUT YOU WOULD BASICALLY HAVE TO IMPROVE RENFRO STREET TO ALLOW THAT WATER TO PASS IN ORDER TO BRING THAT WATER SURFACE LEVEL DOWN.

RIGHT NOW, WHAT THE MODEL IS SHOWING IS YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO REDUCE THE WATER SURFACE ELEVATION BY TWO TO FOUR INCHES WITHOUT ANY IMPROVEMENTS TO RENFRO.

SO THAT'S A LOT OF GRADING THAT YOU CAN DO FOR NOT A LOT OF BENEFIT.

SO YOUR EAST RENFRO RIGHT NOW AT OVER TOPS, THE MODEL SHOWS THAT IT OVER TOPS BY ALMOST FOUR FEET.

WHAT THEY HAVE PRELIMINARY LOOKED AT IS THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A SIX HUNDRED PLUS FOOT SPAN BRIDGE, SO THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE TOTALLY RECONSTRUCTED ORDER TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET THOSE RESULTS AT THE PERSON AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.

AND THEN IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE, RENFRO IS UNDERWATER, YOU DO HAVE HIDDEN CREEK PARKWAY THAT WAS BUILT ABOVE THE HUNDRED YEAR, SO THAT SHOULD BE PASSABLE IN THE DESIGNED STORM.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT FOX LANE, THE WATER OVER TOPS FOX LANE ALMOST THREE FEET, YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS IN ORDER TO PASS THE HUNDRED YEAR AND MAKE IT PASSABLE AGAIN, ANOTHER SIX HUNDRED PLUS FOOT SPAN BRIDGE.

THEY'RE GOING TO DRILL DOWN, DRILL THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT BETTER FOR US.

YOU MOST LIKELY WILL HAVE YOUR RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITIONS AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MINIMAL LAND THAT'S GOING TO BE REMOVED AS A RESULT.

WHAT I'VE HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK OR PURPLE.

THAT'S HOW MUCH YOU WOULD REDUCE THE FLOODPLAIN.

SO YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT.

YOU'RE NOT REALLY CHANGING THE BOUNDARY MUCH, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS HOUSE THAT WE HAVE HERE HIGHLIGHTED.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED TO OUR STANDARDS, DOES HAVE AN ELEVATION AND IT WAS CONSTRUCTED TWO FEET ABOVE THE BFE.

MICHELLE.

YES.

WOULD YOU TALK ABOUT THE BRIDGE OVER FOX LANE BEING AT 2.83 FEET HIGH.

THAT'S THE ROADS ON EACH SIDE OF IT, TOO, RIGHT? CORRECT.

IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

YES, SIR.

HMM.

IT'S A SIGNIFICANT PROJECT.

SO OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE ALSO LOOKED AT IS, YOU KNOW, I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, COST EFFECTIVE FLOOD WARNING SYSTEMS, GATES, FLASHING LIGHTS, ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE.

SO THE DELIVERABLES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, IT'S GOING TO BE A TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM DESCRIBING THEIR METHODOLOGY, THE FINDINGS, THE ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING THE ALTERNATIVES.

THE ESTIMATED COMPLETION FOR THAT IS APRIL 2022.

THAT'S GOING TO GIVE STAFF TIME FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT.

AND THEN WE EXPECT TO BRING THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND RESULTS MAY JUNE OF 2022.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL.

WHILE THAT COUNCIL WAS GIVEN A PACKAGE SHOWING PEOPLE CREEKS AND STUFF, WERE YOU AWARE OF THAT? I'M SORRY, SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME.

THERE WAS A PACKET PASSED OUT TO EACH ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS SHOWING PICTURES OF A GENTLEMAN'S CREEK.

AND OBVIOUSLY, IT'S HIS PROPERTY, AND IT'S NOT THE CITY'S PURVIEW TO DO THAT RIGHT.

BUT THE PICTURE BROUGHT OUT TO ME IS HOW MUCH SILT AND STUFF IN THESE CREEKS.

IS THAT A MAJOR FACTOR IN SOME OF THE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS WE HAVE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF AT TIMES? WELL, YOU HAVE SCOURING OF THE CREEKS WHEN, LIKE I SAID, WHEN THE VELOCITIES GO DOWN, CREEKS EBB AND FLOW AND THAT'S WHAT THEY MEANDER AND THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE SHAPE.

THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE.

THEY'RE GOING, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE I MEAN, THEY'RE NATURAL OCCURRING PHENOMENON FOR LACK OF A BETTER WAY TO SAY IT.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE EROSION.

TREES ARE GOING TO FALL DOWN, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE BLOCKAGES HERE AND THERE THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE REMOVED UNLESS THERE'S A DRAINAGE EASEMENT THAT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THE CITY CAN DO.

IT'S THE PROPERTY OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN THAT FLOW.

OKAY.

AND I WAS I LIED, I DO HAVE ONE MORE.

[01:05:03]

I MEAN, THE THING TO TAKE AWAY IS CREEKS AND RIVERS.

THEY'RE MEANT TO CONVEY FLOODWATERS.

THE WATER HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE, AND THESE CREEKS ARE FOR YEARS AND YEARS IS WHAT'S CONVEYED IT.

DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARE IN PLACE TO PROTECT LIVES AND HOMES.

OUR OUR REGULATIONS ARE MORE STRINGENT THAN FEMAS IN THE COUNTIES.

CITY REGULATIONS DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO FLOODING, BUT HELP TO REASONABLY PROTECT RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS FROM FLOODING.

STRUCTURES ARE ALLOWED WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN, WITH DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN FLOODPLAINS.

THEY WILL FLOOD.

THE KEY IS TO PROTECT THE HABITABLE STRUCTURES.

ARE YOU STILL TALKING? NO, I'M DONE NOW.

THAT IS MY LAST ONE, I'M SORRY, BUT THAT IS BAILEY LAKE, IF THAT WAS IN 2015 AS WELL.

SO I MEAN, THAT'S A HUGE FLOODPLAIN TOO.

THIS IS ACTUALLY VILLAGE CREEK, NOT QUIL MILLER, BUT I LIKE THIS PHOTO.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SO IN THE ETJ, WHICH IS A LOT OF WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM PEOPLE ABOUT RECENTLY ABOUT THE FLOODING, WHAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY? WHAT CAN WE DO OUT THERE TO HELP? SO WHEN A DEVELOPMENT COMES IN LIKE A SUBDIVISION AND WE CONSIDER SUBDIVISIONS FOUR LOTS OR MORE OR MORE THAN FOUR LOTS.

AT THAT POINT, THEY'RE SUBJECT TO OUR DESIGN REGULATIONS.

WE STILL DO NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE FLOODPLAIN, OUR INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY, THEY HAVE JURISDICTION.

THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS IMPOSE DETENTION OR HAVE THE DETENTION ANALYSIS.

AND IF IT SHOWS THAT IT'S BETTER TO GO AHEAD AND LET THAT WATER GET IN THE CREEK AND GO OUT, THEN WE DO NOT REQUIRE DETENTION EITHER IN THE COUNTY.

BUT WE HAVE SEVERAL DEVELOPMENTS.

ONE OF THEM CROSS [INAUDIBLE] TO THE SOUTH.

THEY DETAINED.

SO WE DO ENFORCE OUR REGULATIONS IN THAT MANNER.

GO AHEAD.

I THINK IT'S JUST UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OF THESE HOMES, BUT IT IS VERY MUCH OUT OF OUR PURVIEW.

WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO SET STANDARDS IN IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

AND IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY SOME OF THESE HOMES ARE THE OLDER HOMES THAT WERE BUILT A LONG TIME AGO.

AND YOU KNOW, WE CAN DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE WHEN SOMETHING COMES DOWN THE CREEK, POSSIBLY, BUT ONLY WHEN IT FALLS WITHIN OUR PURVIEW.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

AND THE LITTLE A-FRAME HOUSE ON RENFRO THAT YOU SEE IF IT WAS DAMAGED MORE THAN 50 PERCENT, THE VALUE ON THE TAX ROLLS AND THEY CAME IN FOR A BUILDING PERMIT.

THEY WOULD THEN HAVE TO CONSTRUCT TWO CITY REGULATIONS, BUT IF IT'S LESS THAN 50 PERCENT, THEN THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE REPAIRS.

THERE'S OTHER THING.

THE CITY STRIP AND [INAUDIBLE].

MM HMM.

AND SO WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE THE RIGHT AWAYS ON EACH SIDE OF IT AND ALL THE BRIDGES .

WHAT'S OUR LIABILITY UPSTREAM TO SUCH THE BLOCKS THAT BRIDGE OR I MEAN, ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE.

NO, BECAUSE IT'S A NATURAL DISASTER.

WELL, I DON'T WANT TO CALL IT A DISASTER, BUT IT'S A NATURAL OCCURRING EVENT.

SO NO.

AND TECH STOCKS LOOKING AT REPLACING A BUNCH OF THOSE TOO, AREN'T THEY OR NO? ALONG? RENFRO OR [INAUDIBLE].

WELL, IT'S OK EAST RENFRO FROM THEY DO HAVE A SCHEMATIC ON IT.

IT'S CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN IS NOT FUNDED.

BUT THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE SCHEMATIC AND WIDENING IT TO FOUR LANES WITH A MEDIAN.

ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU, MICHELLE, APPRECIATE IT.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL AT THIS TIME THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION SIX DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS AT THIS TIME, I WILL CALL FORWARD ITEMS 6A, 6B AND 6C TOGETHER FOR ONE PRESENTATION, SO I'LL CALL THAT FORWARD.

STAFF PRESENTER IS MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, AND IF YOU COULD HOLD JUST ONE MOMENT MAYOR AND MICHELLE BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD.

SURE, [INAUDIBLE] WHAT ARE WE NEED? I'M SORRY, WE HAVE SPEAKER CARDS ON THE PREVIOUS WORK SESSION ITEM THAT MS. MCCULLOUGH PRESENTED ON 8B.

SO THE FIRST SPEAKER ON 8B IS BILL [INAUDIBLE].

I APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION THE TIME A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE.

CAN I ASK HER QUESTIONS WHERE SHE CAN ANSWER? THAT'S THE MAIN THING I WANT TO KNOW.

NO, YOU CANNOT SPEAK TO WHAT SHE SAID.

YEAH, WHAT I'LL DO THEN.

LIKE I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, I'M A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.

SOME OF THESE HOMES THAT TAKE ON A LITTLE BIT OF WATER TO MODERATE AMOUNT.

I GET CALLS IF THEIR INSURANCE TO PAY FOR IT, IF NOT HOMEOWNERS ARE OUT.

THESE CLAIMS CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO TEN THOUSAND.

I'VE DONE CLAIMS ALL THE WAY UP TO OVER $50,000.

SOME OF THE ONES, THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT FURTHER DOWN TOWARDS 604.

THAT WAS A LITTLE OVER 50.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THE CITY PROVIDE MAPPING OF CREEKS WHEN THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE PROPOSED.

WHETHER IT BE HIGHLIGHTED MARKED OUT, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE WE CAN SEE THE DIRECTION OF FLOW.

IF YOU CAN ALSO DO IT POSSIBLE, A THREE DIMENSION WHERE IT'S TOPOGRAPHICAL TYPE, WHERE WE CAN VISUALIZE WHICH WAY THE WATERSHED IS GOING TO GO.

I'M REAL FAMILIAR WITH MOST THESE AREAS.

I KNOW WHICH WAY IT ALREADY GOES.

I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND WHO HAS A FRIEND THAT LIVES IN THE APARTMENTS OFF THE VILLAGE CREEK BEHIND SONIC, THAT THE LAST HEAVY RAINSTORM THAT THE WATER GOT WITHIN A FOOT OF THEIR BACK DOOR.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY MEAN A FOOT VERTICALLY, A FOOT HORIZONTALLY, BUT THAT'S PRETTY ALARMING.

THE FLOOD STUDY IT IS THE TWO CREEKS PROPOSED.

2023 IS ONE OF THE START, MAYBE 2025 IN RELATION TO BOWDEN CIRCLE.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE DRIVEWAYS ARE BEING WASHED OUT, THE CULVERTS THAT ARE STICKING UP SIX EIGHT, 10 INCHES UP OUT OF THE GROUND.

I THINK THOSE I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE ARE HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBILITY OR WHAT, BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WATER THAT'S COMING OUT FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR WASH AND THE OIL THAT'S WASHING BACK ACROSS FROM BENNETT'S ACROSS TOWARDS QUIL MILLER.

IT'S JUST DESTROYING THESE PEOPLE'S PROPERTIES.

THAT'S THE ONE THING I'VE SET UP IN AND [INAUDIBLE] DEEP WATER AND THE HOMEOWNER WAS IN [INAUDIBLE] WATER.

I'D LIKE TO SEE A BREAKDOWN MAYBE OF COST TO DO A CEMENT FLOOD PASSAGE PASS THAT WAY.

I REALIZE THAT THIS DOES COST A LOT OF MONEY, BUT MONEY CAN REPLACE A LOT OF THINGS POSSESSIONS, BUT IT CAN'T REPLACE THE LIFE.

THE FRIEND OF MINE THAT'S LIVED OVER THERE FOR SEVERAL DECADES, I'M WORRIED ABOUT HER CONDITION AND WHEN THESE DAYS SHE'S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT OUT.

THE NEXT SPEAKER IS ROBERT [INAUDIBLE].

COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY STAFF, GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS ROBERT W.

[INAUDIBLE] JR.

I RESIDE AT 1100 COUNTY ROAD, 602 IN BURLESON.

I HOPE THAT ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE MAYOR HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT I SENT WITH EXPLANATION AT EACH PHOTOGRAPH OF THE DAMAGE THAT I'M RECEIVING FROM THE DEVELOPMENT ALONG HIT, QUIL MILLER CREEK.

WHEN PLANTATION DIVISION SUBDIVISION WAS ESTABLISHED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RUNOFF

[01:15:05]

WOULD NOT AFFECT ME.

THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

NOW WE HAVE PINNACLE ESTATES SOON TO BE STANFORD FARMS, NONE OF WHICH HAVE MITIGATED THEIR RUN OFF WATER.

IT'S ALL GOING RIGHT INTO QUIL MILLER.

AT WHAT TIME WILL THE CITY REQUIRE DEVELOPMENTS ALONG QUIL MILLER TO MITIGATE THEIR RUN OFF? I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING DAMAGE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD REPRESENT ALL THE CITIZENS OF BURLESON, NOT JUST THE DEVELOPERS.

AGAIN, I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING DAMAGE FOR YEARS.

MAKE THESE DEVELOPMENTS MITIGATE THEIR RUN OFF WATER.

I HOPE THAT THESE PICTURES THAT I SENT YOU ALL WERE TELLING.

THEY'RE TELLING FOR ME BECAUSE I AM LOSING LAND.

IT'S IN LAKE ARLINGTON NOW, SO NO DAMAGE IS NOT THE CASE.

I AM RECEIVING DAMAGE.

IT'S GETS WORSE ALL THE TIME.

TREES FALLING IN THE CREEK MAKES THE WATER WHERE IT WILL NOT FLOW PROPERLY AND IT JUST EXACERBATES THE SITUATION.

PLEASE MAKE THESE DEVELOPERS MITIGATE THEIR WATER.

THANK YOU VERY KINDLY.

THANK YOU, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT OVERSIGHT.

THERE WAS ONE CARD FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO SPEAK ON, SO.

SO AT THIS TIME, I HAVE CALLED FORWARD ITEMS 6A, 6B AND 6C.

[A. Stanford Farms Development Agreement: Consider approval of a revised pre-annexation development agreement with Billy D. Stanford and Linda Reed, the owners of property at 1500 and 1560 County Road 602. (Staff Presenter: Michelle McCullough, Public Works Assistant Director - Development)]

[B. Stanford Farms Voluntary Annexation located at 1500 CR 602 (Case 21-092): Hold a public hearing and consider approval of an ordinance for voluntary annexation of approximately 80.122 acres, in the William B. Capps Survey, Abstract Number 140, Johnson County Texas, located in the exclusive Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of Burleson, related to a previously approved development agreement; providing that the inhabitants thereof shall have all the privileges of all the citizens of Burleson, Texas; providing that this ordinance shall amend every prior ordinance in conflict herewith; providing that this ordinance shall be cumulative of all prior ordinances not in direct conflict; providing for severability and naming and effective date. (First and Final Reading) (Staff Presenter: Michelle McCullough, Public Works Assistant Director)]

[C. 1500 CR 602 (Stanford Farms) located near the intersection of E. Renfro Street and County Road 602. (Case 21-091): Hold a public hearing and consider approval of a zone change from the defaulted "A", Agricultural district to "PD", Planned Development district, to allow for a Single Family residential development on 80.122 acres. (Staff Presenter: Michelle McCullough, Assistant Director of Public Works) (The Planning and Zoning Commission did not approve the item. The motion for approval failed by a 3-3 vote.) ]

THIS WILL BE ONE PRESENTATION.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE TWO DISTINCT PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT WE WILL CALL FORWARD, WE'LL TAKE EACH ITEM UP INDIVIDUALLY FOR ACTION.

ALL RIGHT, AGAIN, MY NAME IS MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DEVELOPMENT, AS MS. CAMPOS SAID, THIS IS A PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1500 COUNTY ROAD 602 AND IS KNOWN AS PROPOSED STANFORD FARMS. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 80 ACRES IN SIZE.

THE APPLICANT IS JOHN ARNOLD WITH SCOREBOARD COMPANY ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS BILL STANFORD AND LINDA REID.

SO THE ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION, AS STATED, IS THE REVISED PRE-ANNEXATION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AND THEN A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT.

SO IT'S A LITTLE HISTORY.

I'M GOING TO TAKE EACH ONE OF THESE IN ORDER, SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE PRE-ANNEXATION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FIRST.

SO THE EXISTING AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED ON JANUARY 2021 BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

THE CONSIDERATION OF VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AND PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT WOULD OCCUR ON OR BEFORE MARCH 1ST 2021.

IT INCLUDED PARKLAND DEDICATION AND ALSO THE OWNER MAY REQUEST THIS ANNEXATION IF THE ZONING REQUESTS DID NOT OCCUR TO THE OWNER SATISFACTION.

IF THAT WERE TO OCCUR, THE CITY WOULD APPROVE THIS ANNEXATION WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE REQUEST, THE PROPERTY WOULD REMAIN IN THE ETJ, AND AT THE TIME THEY HAD AN ETJ PRELIMINARY PLAT THAT WOULD BE SCHEDULED AT THE NEXT AVAILABLE PNZ AND CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD ALSO AGREE TO NOT INVOLUNTARY ANNEX THE PROPERTY WITHIN 15 YEARS.

AND WHILE THE LOSS TODAY PREVENT US FROM DOING THAT, THE LOSS COULD CHANGE.

SO THAT THAT JUST GAVE THEM AN EXTRA MEASURE OF PROTECTION.

SO THE REVISIONS TO THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT IT WAS THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD CONSIDER REVISIONS AND THE PD DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 13 2021.

SO THAT'S TONIGHT.

SO WE'RE DOING THAT.

THE DEVELOPER AGREES TO CONTRIBUTE ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARDS COUNTY ROAD 602 AND EAST RENFRO STREET IMPROVEMENTS THAT COULD INCLUDE A SIGNAL.

IT COULD INCLUDE REALIGNMENT.

THAT'S ALL.

IF THIS IS APPROVED AND THAT HAPPENS, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT STAFF WILL TAKE A LOOK AT.

THE OWNER, SAME THING, THE OWNER MAY REQUEST DIS ANNEXATION IF THE ZONING REQUESTS DID NOT OCCUR TO THE OWNERS SATISFACTION SAME ELEMENTS APPLIED.

IT DID REMOVE THE PARKLAND DEDICATION OFFERING, SO THE HOA WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT, AND IT REMOVES THE REQUIREMENT TO SCHEDULE THE ETJ PRELIMINARY PLANT.

NOT PLAT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE PLAT.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

[01:20:02]

BUT THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE AN ETJ PLAT IN FOR CONSIDERATION.

SO THIS IS THE SECOND ITEM VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.

THE CURRENT REQUEST? NO ZONING IS DESIGNATED.

IT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE BURLESON ETJ.

IT'S THE COMPANION ZONING CASE, IS THE PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT.

IT DOES ALIGN WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS A PRIMARY USE SINGLE FAMILY IN A PROPOSES MINIMUM TEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AGAIN KNOWN AS STANFORD FARMS. THE PREVIOUS REQUEST, THE DENSITY PROPOSED, WAS A MINIMUM OF SIX THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT LOTS, AND ON MARCH 1ST 2021 THE ANNEXATION WAS DENIED, AND I JUST NOTED HERE THAT THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION MUST BE ACTED ON PRIOR TO THE ZONING REQUEST THAT IS ON TONIGHT.

SO I'M GOING TO GET INTO THE PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING SPECIFICS.

SO AGAIN, THE ZONING REQUEST IS IF ANNEXATION IS APPROVED, THEN IT'S GOING TO BE DEFAULTED TO AN AGRICULTURAL ZONING.

AND SO THIS IS TO TAKE THAT AGRICULTURAL TO THE PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

AND THE CURRENT REQUEST IS NINETY SIX RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

THEY RANGE FROM TEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT AND LARGER.

THE PLAN INCLUDES FIVE OPEN SPACE LOTS, A PRIVATE PARK.

AND AGAIN, NO PUBLIC PARKLAND DEDICATION IS PROPOSED AND THERE ARE TWO ENTRANCES FROM COUNTY ROAD 602.

THE PREVIOUS REQUEST INCLUDED ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE RESIDENTIAL LOTS THAT RANGED FROM SIX THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT AND LARGER FIVE OPEN SPACE, A PUBLIC PARK, PARKLAND DEDICATION, AND AGAIN TWO ENTRANCES.

NO ACTION WAS TAKEN ON THE PREVIOUS ZONING REQUEST SINCE THE ANNEXATION WAS DENIED.

SO THIS IS JUST THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, THEY PROPOSE TWO THREE INCH CALIBER TREES PER LOT, OUR ORDINANCE REQUIRES ONE TODAY.

THEY ARE PROPOSING ENHANCED LANDSCAPING AROUND THE GAS WILL THE ENTRANCE, THE PRIVATE PARKING ALONG COUNTY ROAD 602.

THIS RIGHT HERE IS JUST SHOWING YOU THEIR ENTRANCE, THEIR ENTRY FEATURE, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE ENHANCE.

THIS IS THE GAS WELL WHERE MY CURSOR IS RIGHT NOW.

AND THIS IS THE ENHANCED LANDSCAPING AROUND.

THEY ARE PROPOSING A PRIVATE PARK.

IT WILL BE COMMERCIAL GRADE EQUIPMENT.

THE EXHIBIT TO THE RIGHT IS REPRESENTATIVE.

THEY WILL INCLUDE A SHADE STRUCTURE.

WE ALL KNOW IN TEXAS HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS.

THE VENDOR WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR, AND IT IS REQUIRED IN THE PD TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND ACCEPTED PRIOR TO THE FIRST POSITION OF THE FIRST COMPLETED RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE.

SO THAT WAY, THE FIRST RESIDENT MOVING IN CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS.

THEY ARE ALSO PROPOSING A SIX FOOT TRAIL KIND OF SEE RIGHT HERE AT THIS KNUCKLE COMING AROUND TO WHERE THE PARK IS, AND THEN THERE IS A CONNECTION ALSO IN BETWEEN THESE TWO HOMES.

THE PRIVATE PARK IS TO BE MAINTAINED BY THE HOA AND DURING THE PLANNING PROCESS.

IF THIS IS APPROVED, THEY WILL WORK WITH STAFF TO PROVIDE A PEDESTRIAN EASEMENT ALONG THE CREEK.

SO THAT WAY, IF WE EXTEND OUR PUBLIC TRAIL SYSTEM DOWN THERE, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND CONNECT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, THIS IS THE TYPES OF FENCING I DID HAVE A MISTAKE ON MY EXHIBIT, SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THIS OUT ALONG THE OPEN SPACE AND PRIVATE PARK.

THEY ARE PROPOSING TUBULAR METAL FENCE WITH STONE COLUMNS.

THEY ARE NOT PROPOSING THAT ALONG THE NORTH SIDE, JUST THE TUBULAR FENCE.

ALONG THE GAS WELL, IT'S GOING TO BE AN EIGHT FOOT BOARD ON BOARD TO HELP SCREEN THE GAS WELL, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A MASONRY FENCE ALONG COUNTY ROAD 602.

SO THIS, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, IT DOES ALIGN WITH A COMP PLAN THE PRIMARY USES, AS SHOWN IN THE PLAN AS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL WITH A MIX OF DENSITIES SUPPORTING COMPLEMENTARY USES ARE OPEN SPACE AND INCREASED PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY.

RIGHT NOW, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW IT'S ON A TWO LANE COUNTY ROAD, WHICH IS ON THE CITY'S THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

SO WHEN THAT ROAD IS IMPROVED IN THE FUTURE, THERE WILL BE A SIDEWALK TRAIL CONNECTION.

SO WE ADDED OR NOT ADDED, WE INCLUDED A TABLE TO JUST SHOW THE SURROUNDING USES AND YOU CAN SEE YOU'VE GOT RESIDENTIAL, YOU GET TAYLOR BRIDGE ESTATES TO THE SOUTH PINNACLE ESTATE.

[INAUDIBLE] FARMS IS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THAT HAS NOT MOVED FORWARD, BUT THAT IS A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR ONE ACRE IN LARGER LOTS AND THEN TAYLOR BRIDGE TO THE NORTH.

[01:25:03]

I BELIEVE THAT IS IF IT'S NOT IN CONSTRUCTION, IT'S GETTING READY TO GO TO CONSTRUCTION.

AND THOSE ARE ONE ACRE AND LARGER LOT OF STAYING OUTSIDE OF THE CITY AND THE ETJ.

THIS GOT A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THIS TABLE, BUT THESE ARE THE COUNTY ROADS.

602 DEVELOPMENTS.

THE TOP ROW IS THE CURRENT PROPOSED STANFORD FARMS. AND THEN RIGHT BELOW THAT IS THE PREVIOUS.

AND THEN AGAIN, WILLIAMS POINT HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED YET, BUT THAT IS 90 LOTS WITH LOTS RANGING BETWEEN OR SEVEN THOUSAND OR GREATER.

TAYLOR BRIDGE ESTATES AS I MENTIONED TO THE SOUTH, TAYLOR BRIDGE TO THE NORTH IS THE NEW ONE, ONE ACRE AND LARGER, PINNACLE ESTATES TEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT AND LARGER.

AND THEN [INAUDIBLE] FARMS, WHICH AGAIN HAS NOT MOVED FORWARD YET.

I KNOW TRAFFIC IS A TOPIC OUT THERE.

THERE HAS BEEN QUITE A FEW TIAS THAT WERE GENERATED WITH A DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

COUNTY ROAD 602 IS SHOWN TO HAVE SUFFICIENT PEAK HOUR CAPACITY.

THERE IS.

THERE WAS MEASURE TO HAVE SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE VEHICLES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.

THE TOTAL PEAK HOUR CAPACITY IS SEVENTEEN HUNDRED VEHICLES.

THE FUTURE BUILDOUT PEAK HOUR, TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY NORTHBOUND AND FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR SOUTHBOUND.

AGAIN, I KNOW THAT'S BEEN A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION.

THE TIA FOR THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT DID RECOMMEND A RIGHT TURN LANE TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE FIRST DRIVE, THE DRIVE TO THE NORTH.

HOWEVER, NO OTHER IMPROVEMENTS WERE RECOMMENDED OR WARRANTED BY THIS DEVELOPMENT.

WATER IS GOING TO BE SERVED BY BETHESDA, AND IF APPROVED AND ANNEXED INTO THE CITY, THE CITY WILL PROVIDE SANITARY SEWER SERVICE.

AND AS I JUST SPOKE THE DRAINAGE, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO A FLOOD STUDY.

IT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY FOR REVIEW.

THEY WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED FOR A DETENTION ANALYSIS AND A LOMA TO BE SUBMITTED TO FEMA.

SO PUBLIC NOTICES WERE MAILED TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THREE HUNDRED FEET.

IT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER, SIGNS WERE POSTED ON THE PROPERTY.

WE'VE RECEIVED SEVERAL INQUIRIES REGARDING DENSITY, TRAFFIC, ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, LOT SIZE COMPATIBILITY, PREVIOUS INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT PROMISES.

SO THE SUM P AND Z SUMMARIES, THEY DID NOT RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ITEM, THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL FAILED BY A THREE THREE VOTE, THE MAJORITY OF THE DISCUSSION AMONGST P AND Z MEMBERS AND PUBLIC SPEAKERS, WHICH RELATED TO LOT SIZE ADJACENT COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER DEVELOPMENT, TRAFFIC AND DRAINAGE, AND THERE WAS A TOTAL OF EIGHT TO NINE.

THE APPLICANT ONE SPEAKER IN FAVOR, SEVEN SPEAKERS IN THE OPPOSITION, SO NINE TOTAL.

SO HOW DO YOU WANT ME, I'M AT THE.

SO IF YOU'RE DONE WITH YOUR PRESENTATION, IF YOU'LL ALLOW US TO TAKE EACH ITEM UP AND THEN IF COUNSEL WOULD LIKE SOME DISCUSSION BEFORE WE TAKE UP ITEM 6A.

IT'S UP TO COUNCIL.

MAYOR, IF YOU'LL JUST ASK IF THERE'S ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS ITEM 6A, WHICH IS THE THE REVISED PRE-ANNEXATION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

ANYBODY GOT ANY THOUGHTS? I DID HAVE ONE, JUST REAL QUICK.

THE QUIL MILLER STUDY IS I UNDERSTAND THAT WAS GOING TO BE 2023.

THAT'S THE TARGET RIGHT NOW.

OKAY.

SO I ALSO DO HAVE SPEAKERS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY ON ITEM 6A.

BILL STANFORD, WHO'D ACTUALLY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON ITEM 6A, B, AND C.

AMANDA, THE DEVELOPER, ALSO HAS A PRESENTATION.

DOES HE NEED TO? FOR 6A, 6B OR 6C.

A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THEM.

YES, AND I APOLOGIZE, I SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT EARLIER.

OK, SO WE HAVE SPEAKER CARDS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY FOR ITEM 6A.

I'LL ALLOW THE SPEAKERS TO LET ME KNOW IF THEY WOULD RATHER HEAR THE DEVELOPERS.

SO BILL STANFORD, WOULD YOU PREFER THE TO SPEAK FIRST OR LISTEN TO THE DEVELOPER? OK.

AND I APOLOGIZE IF I BUTCHER YOUR NAME, STEVE.

STEVE [INAUDIBLE] OK.

AND, JIMMY WRIGHT.

[01:30:07]

JIMMY WRIGHT IS NOT HERE [INAUDIBLE].

I APOLOGIZE FOR THE WRITTEN COMMENTS ONLY I WANTED TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS DEVELOPMENT FOR A THIRD TIME, BUT I HAVE TO BE AT WORK AT SEVEN P.M.

I'M MISSING DINNER WITH MY FAMILY AND WOKE UP EARLY TO BE HERE, BUT I HAVE TO GO TO WORK BEFORE RECEIVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AGAINST THE PROPOSED STANFORD FARMS DEVELOPMENT.

I AND MY FAMILY ARE ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AS IT CURRENTLY IS PROPOSED.

MY WIFE AND I MOVED TO THE AREA OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, MUCH LIKE THE ONE BEING PROPOSED TO ENJOY THE LARGE LOTS OF OPEN SPACE AND QUIET AREA.

THE TRAFFIC ON 602 MAY BE AVERAGE SUPPORT THE CURRENT PROPOSED OVER A TWENTY FOUR HOUR PERIOD, BUT NOT DURING HIGH TRAFFIC TIMES.

I AM AWARE THAT DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS IS INEVITABLE.

HOWEVER, THE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD MIRROR WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ONE ACRE MINIMUM LOTS.

OTHERWISE PROPERTY VALUES WILL SUFFER.

I DO NOT WISH TO CONTINUE PAYING SUFFICIENT TAXES IF OUR PROPERTY VALUES DROP.

THIS IS A COMMENT BY JIMMY WRIGHT.

SO AT THIS TIME, IF THE DEVELOPER WOULD LIKE TO.

BRING HIS UP.

OK .

MR. MAYOR IS A PROCEDURAL MATTER TO CLARIFY HOW WE GO FORWARD.

I THINK IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPER TO MAKE THE COMPREHENSIVE PRESENTATION SO THAT THEY CAN FULLY APPRIZE THE AUDIENCE AND THE COUNCIL OF WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL IS.

THEN IN ORDER.

I WOULD SUGGEST THE COUNCIL DIRECT THEIR COMMENTS TO THE SECOND ITEM.

ITEM 6B THE ANNEXATION REQUEST.

IF THE COUNCIL DOES NOT DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ANNEXATION, THEN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND THE ZONING CASE ARE GOING TO BE IRRELEVANT.

YOU SHOULD.

YOU SHOULD RAISE YOUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON ITEM 6B.

IF THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT, THEN IT MOVES THE REST OF THE CONVERSATION.

BUT THIS [INAUDIBLE] IS CORRECT, WE HAVE TO HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARINGS ON BOTH B AND C BEFORE WE GO FORWARD.

BUT THE CRITICAL QUESTION IS THE ANNEXATION ISSUE AND WE COULD ADDRESS THAT AFTER THE DEVELOPER HAS GIVEN THEIR OVERVIEW.

I'VE CALLED THEM FORWARD THERE.

MR. MAYOR COUNCIL, MY NAME IS BRYAN HOLLANDS WITH THE SCOREBOARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY.

I RESIDE AT 42 VERANDA LANE IN COLLEYVILLE, TEXAS, WITH OFFICES AT 82.14 WESTCHESTER DRIVE IN DALLAS, TEXAS.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU TONIGHT ABOUT STANFORD FARMS. WE'VE BEEN BEFORE YOU BEFORE AND SO A LOT OF WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS NOT NEW AND I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH PRETTY QUICKLY BECAUSE MICHELLE COVERED IN HER PRESENTATION PRETTY THOROUGHLY.

SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AND THEN I'D BE HAPPY TO STAND UP AND ANSWER QUESTIONS AFTER AFTERWARDS.

SO I'LL JUST GET STARTED.

SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SCOREBOARD COMPANY.

OUR BACKGROUND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, ITS LOCATION IN HISTORY, OUR PREVIOUS OWNER REQUEST, WHICH YOU SAW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT AND SOME OF Y'ALL WERE ON COUNCIL LAST TIME YOU WE WERE HERE, SOME OF YOU, WE'RE NOT.

SO I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND THERE.

OUR PREVIOUS AND CURRENT ZONING COMPARISON TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ZONING VERSUS USF 10, WHICH IS YOUR LARGEST LOT DISTRICT AND THEN PROJECT ELEMENTS, TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS, BENEFITS OF OUR ANNEXATION AND PROPOSED ZONING, AND THEN SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR HOUSING STOCK THAT WE'RE WE'RE PROPOSING TO BUILD AND TALK A LITTLE ABOUT PRICING.

SCOREBOARD COMPANY, WHERE LOCALLY PRIVATE OWNED DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR THIRTY FIVE YEARS, ALL WE DO IS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS.

WE'VE DONE OVER 120 DEVELOPMENTS ACROSS THE DFW METROPLEX.

WE ONLY BUILD IN DFW.

WE'VE DONE IT IN THIRTY THREE DIFFERENT CITIES AROUND THE DFW AREA.

SO LIKELY IF YOU VISITED DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES, DIFFERENT AREAS, YOU'VE SEEN ONE OF OUR SUBDIVISIONS.

WE HAVE A REPUTATION FOR BUILDING HIGH QUALITY, LONG LASTING COMMUNITIES.

PROJECTS RANGE FROM SMALL INFILL LOCATIONS TO OVER 800 ACRE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES.

I'LL BREEZE THROUGH THIS PRETTY QUICKLY, BUT AND YOU HAVE THIS IN YOUR PACKET SO YOU CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT AS AS YOU SEE FIT IN ROCKWALL, WHICH IS KIND OF OUR FLAGSHIP AREA.

WE'VE GOT TWO LARGE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES, ONE CALLED STONE CREEK AND ONE CALLED BREEZY HILL.

WE'RE ON OUR LAST PHASE OF EACH OF THOSE.

WE'VE DEVELOPED OVER 1700 LOTS, RANGING FROM SIXTY FIVE FOOT LOTS TO HALF ACRE LOTS IN BOTH IN THE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES BEAUTIFUL SUBDIVISIONS STONE CREEK WON

[01:35:02]

DEAL OF THE YEAR AWARD IN 2008, AND YOU CAN SEE THE LIST OF HOMEBUILDERS THAT TO BUILD HOMES IN THAT COMMUNITY.

AND THEN THE NEXT TWO OR THREE SLIDES ARE A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOME.

THESE ARE ALL PROJECTS OVER IN MANSFIELD, SO IF YOU GET OUT AND ABOUT AND YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO DRIVE, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE THE HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT THAT WE PUT ON THE GROUND.

THIS ONE'S CALLED CYPRESS CROSSING AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF MATLOCK ROAD AND DEBBIE LANE IN MANSFIELD.

IT'S ABOUT 15 AND A HALF ACRES.

FIFTY NINE LOTS.

THOSE LOTS ARE 65 BY 120, SO THEY'RE JUST A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE, ABOUT 3.8 UNITS PER ACRE.

PAUL TAYLOR IN WINDSOR HOMES AND THOSE HOMES ARE IN THE THREE HUNDRED TO FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR RANGE, SUNSET CROSSING SIMILAR SIZED LOTS.

ALSO IN MANSFIELD, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE PRODUCT THERE.

WINDSOR HOMES AND [INAUDIBLE] HOMES AND PAUL TAYLOR HOMES ARE THE BUILDERS IN THAT COMMUNITY.

JUST AS A NOTE, WINDSOR HOMES IS OUR SISTER HOMEBUILDING COMPANY, AND MORE THAN LIKELY THEY WILL ALSO BE BUILDING IN STANFORD FARMS IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL TONIGHT.

SO WE HAVE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN OUR SUBDIVISIONS AND TRYING TO PUT OUR HOMEBUILDING COMPANY IN THE SUBDIVISIONS AS WELL.

MITCHELL FARMS AGAIN ANOTHER ONE OFF OF MITCHELL ROAD IN MANSFIELD.

IT'S ABOUT A 30 ACRE PROJECT.

THIS ONE'S GOT A MIXTURE OF LOTS BETWEEN 50 FOOT WIDE AND SEVENTY FIVE FOOT LOTS, [INAUDIBLE] WITH THE PRICE POINT BETWEEN THE MID 300S AND THE MID 400S.

MICHELLE WENT INTO THIS IN PRETTY GOOD DETAIL, BUT I THOUGHT THIS SLIDE KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THAT IN YELLOW AS YOUR CITY LIMITS THAT IN GRAY IS IN ETJ, [INAUDIBLE] WILLIAMS POINT UP THERE IN PURPLE TO THE NORTH, WHICH YOU DID APPROVE.

IT HAS NOT MOVED FORWARD.

IT'S THE ZONING APPROVED, BUT IT'S JUST SITTING THERE.

AND THEN PINNACLE THE STATES TO THE SOUTH, WHICH IS 80 BY 125.

THOSE ARE TEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT LOTS, WHICH IS THE SAME SIZE GENERALLY, IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IN THE REVISED STANFORD FARMS. AS MICHELLE SAID, THE FUTURE LAND USE COMPATIBILITY, THE PROPOSED USE THAT WE HAVE CONFORMS TO BOTH THE 20-30 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ALSO YOUR 2020 MIDPOINT UPDATE, WHICH YOU JUST DID, I THINK SOMETHING A LITTLE IN 2020.

SINGLE FAMILY, A MIXTURE OF URBAN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, A MIXTURE OF DENSITIES.

YOU DO HAVE ONE ACRE PRODUCT OUT THERE, MOSTLY IN THE ETJ ARE PROPOSED FOR THE ETJ.

BUT YOU HAVE PINNACLE AND THEN YOU HAVE THE BLOOMFIELD PROJECT TO OUR WEST.

SO THAT'S I THINK WE FIT PRETTY WELL WITHIN THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE AREA.

AGAIN, SOME OF YOU WERE ON COUNCIL LAST TIME WE'RE HERE.

WE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU A MUCH, MUCH DIFFERENT PLAN INCLUDED ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, PREDOMINANTLY ALL 50 FOOT.

WHAT YOU SEE IN YELLOW, THOSE ARE 50 FOOT LOTS AND THEN THE PINK, WHERE THE TEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

THAT WAS A MIX AVERAGE OF ABOUT SIX THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT.

FOR THOSE HOME SITES AVERAGE OVERALL LOT SIZE WAS 7500 SQUARE FEET, 1.6 UNITS PER ACRE.

SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE DOING NEXT.

WHEN WE WERE HERE BEFORE YOU LAST TIME, THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE TALK ABOUT 10000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS WAS KIND OF THE MAGIC SIZE.

WHAT THE COUNCIL WAS INTERESTED IN SEEING IN THIS AREA VERSUS THE SMALLER 6,500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS THAT WE WERE PROPOSING.

AND SO WE TOOK THAT TO HEART AND WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND MET WITH THE OWNERS THAT OWNED THE PROPERTY AND HAVE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO COME BACK AND PROVIDE A PROJECT THAT MEETS WHAT YOU GUYS WERE LOOKING FOR.

SO OUR CURRENT PROPOSED ZONING REQUEST IS STILL THE 80 ACRES WE'LL BE DEVELOPING THE EASTERNMOST 38 ACRES AND WE WENT FROM ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE LOTS DOWN TO NINETY SIX LOTS, WHICH IS ARE THIRTY SEVEN FEWER THAN WHAT WE WERE PREVIOUSLY PROPOSING.

THERE ARE ALL TEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT PLUS UNLESS, IN FACT THEY AVERAGE ABOUT ELEVEN THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE SQUARE FEET VERSUS THE SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED WE PREVIOUSLY HAD.

WE'VE INCREASED OUR MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE FROM TWO TWO THOUSAND SQUARE FEET FROM SIXTEEN HUNDRED TO TWO THOUSAND SQUARE FEET, AND WE MEET ALL OF THE CITY'S CONFORM.

WE CONFORM WITH ALL THE CITY'S CURVILINEAR REQUIREMENTS.

SO THIS IS JUST A SIDE BY SIDE TABLE.

AGAIN, I JUST PRETTY MUCH TOUCHED ON ALL THIS, BUT ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE LOTS OF NINETY SIX.

WE GREATLY INCREASED THE LOT SIZE, THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE, THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH.

WE WENT FROM FIFTY FIVE OR FIFTY TO SEVENTY FIVE.

OUR HOME SIZES INCREASED.

AND YOU CAN SEE OUR DENSITIES DECREASED ACROSS THE BOARD.

AND THEN I JUST PUT THIS SLIDE IN HERE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE COMPARISON TO YOUR SF 10 ZONING CATEGORY, WHICH IS JUST A STRAIGHT ZONING CATEGORY.

YOU CAN SEE ACROSS THE BOARD THAT WE MEET OR EXCEED THAT AS WELL.

SOME OF THE PROJECT ELEMENTS THAT MICHELLE TALKED ABOUT, THIS IS OUR PROPOSED SCREENING PLAN.

AGAIN, TALKS ABOUT THE MASONRY COLUMNS OR MASONRY FENCE ALONG THE FRONT AND

[01:40:04]

THEN ORNAMENTAL SCREENING.

ANY TIME YOU PUT THE CITY ORDINANCE REQUIRES ORNAMENTAL SCREENING, ANY TIME YOU HAVE COMMON AREA.

AND SO YOU'LL SEE ON THE NORTH SIDE, WE DO HAVE A STRIP OF COMMON AREA BETWEEN OURSELVES AND THE NEW TAYLOR BRIDGE PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO THE NORTH.

THAT'S AN EXISTING GAS LINE.

AND SO WE SET THOSE LOTS OFF AND SO THAT'LL BE ORNAMENTAL FENCE THERE AND THEN THE PARK AREA TO THE WEST.

WE DECIDED TO UPGRADE THAT AND PUT ORNAMENTAL FENCE AND PILLARS ALONG THERE AS WELL SO THAT YOU GET A GOOD VIEW FROM IF I THINK EVENTUALLY, IF THE CITY EVER PUTS THEIR WALKING TRAIL UP AND DOWN QUIL MILLER CREEK, WHICH WAS KIND OF THE DISCUSSION POINT EARLY ON THAT'LL GIVE A GOOD VIEW FROM THE WEST INTO INTO THE PROJECT AND THEN ENHANCE SCREENING AROUND THE GAS WELLS AND SO THAT HELPS SCREEN THAT FROM THE HOMES THAT ARE GOING TO BE BUILT.

OPEN SPACE IN PARKLANDS, THIS TALKS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, STANFORD FARMS. WE HAVE 43.68 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE.

A GOOD MAJORITY OF THAT, AS WE'VE DISCUSSED, IS IN THE FLOODPLAIN AND BUT WE ARE GOING TO FORM A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION TO MAINTAIN THAT WITH A COUPLE OF SLIDES THAT MICHELLE POINTED OUT THAT WE WITHDREW THE PUBLIC PARK OFFERING.

AND THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE.

WE GOT, I THINK, A LOT OF FEEDBACK.

I TALKED TO A NUMBER OF Y'ALL INDIVIDUALLY AND TO THE STAFF AND THE VALUE.

WE DIDN'T SEE THAT THE COUNCIL AND THE STAFF SAW VALUE IN US DEDICATING THAT PARK LAND.

BUT IF THAT IS SOMETHING THE CITY WOULD LIKE, WE'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, GO AHEAD AND DEDICATE THAT AS PUBLIC PARKS.

BUT IN LIEU OF THAT, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT AS A PRIVATE SUBDIVISION PARK MAINTAINED BY PROFESSIONAL HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION THAT WE FORMED WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND WE ARE HAVE COMMITTED IN THE PD TO DEDICATE THE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENT AS NECESSARY.

IF YOU DO GET TO THE POINT WHERE EVEN IF IT IS A PRIVATE PARK THAT YOU ALL WANT A WALKING TRAIL UP AND DOWN A LINEAR WALKING TRAIL NORTH AND SOUTH ALONG QUIL MILLER, WE'D BE HAPPY TO DEDICATE THAT AS WELL AND IS, AS MICHELLE MENTIONED, ALL THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.

EVERYTHING WILL BE COMMERCIAL GRADE EQUIPMENT.

IT WILL BE IN PLACE AND ON THE GROUND BEFORE THE FIRST RESIDENT OCCUPIES A HOME.

SHE MENTIONED AND TALKED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, SO I'M NOT GOING TO GET A LOT OF DETAIL.

THIS TALKS ABOUT THE RIGHT IN, THE RIGHT TURN LANE THAT WAS WARRANTED BY THE TRAFFIC STUDY.

WE'VE HAD TWO STUDIES DONE ON THE SITE, ONE WHEN WE HAVE THE HIGHER DENSITY.

WE HAD TO RELOOKED AT AGAIN WHEN WE DID OUR PLAN.

AND SO WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS REQUIRED OUT THERE.

WE WILL BE DEDICATING THE SUFFICIENT RIGHT AWAY ALSO FOR 602, WHICH I DON'T THINK WAS MENTIONED.

I THINK IN THE FUTURE, WHEN YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO EXPAND AND WIDEN THAT STREET, THAT WE WILL BE DEDICATING THE NECESSARY RIGHT AWAY FOR THAT WITH OUR PLAT.

AND AGAIN, SHE TALKED ABOUT THE PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC BEING AT 6:35 IN THE FUTURE PEAK HOUR VOLUME.

THIS THAT ROAD HAS THE CAPACITY.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE INTERSECTION IS THE DIFFICULT PART OF THAT WHOLE THING, BUT RIGHT NOW THAT THE STREET IS BUILT TO CAPACITY TO HANDLE THE TRAFFIC AT A FUTURE BUILD OUT CAPACITY, INCLUDING OURS.

TAYLOR FARMS ALL THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED ALONG THAT ROUTE RIGHT NOW.

LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STREETLIGHT, AND THAT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK AND PUT A LOT OF EFFORT IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THAT STREET LIGHT IN FAST, SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

ONE WAY WE'RE GOING TO PROPOSE TO DO THAT IS WHEN WE ANNEX IN AND ZONE THIS PROPERTY.

WE PUT IN THE PD THAT WE WILL MAKE IT JUST A DIRECT CONTRIBUTION OF $100,000 TOWARDS TO THE CITY TO UTILIZE FOR THAT INTERSECTION.

THE OTHER THING IS, WITH THE ANNEXATION OF THIS PROJECT, YOU GET ROADWAY IMPACT FEES TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THOSE COME IN OVER TIME, AS THE HOMES ARE BUILT.

BUT THAT'S THE BENEFIT OF A SUBDIVISION THAT GOES INTO THE SUBDIVISION VERSUS STAYS IN THE ETJ.

AND YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THAT TO HELP IMPROVE THE PROPERTY OUT THERE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF ANNEXATION VERSUS STAYING IN THE ETJ.

BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, YOU HEAR ABOUT.

YOU KNOW, WE JUST HEARD TWO PRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE HEAVY COSTS AND THE BURDEN THE CITY HAS TO IMPROVE CREEKS AND DEAL WITH FLOODPLAIN AND ALL THE COSTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

IF THIS PROPERTY REMAINS IN THE ETJ, THEN YOU DON'T GET THE BENEFIT OF THE TAXES.

AND I THINK THIS JUST KIND OF SHOWS YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT A 20 YEAR TAX BENEFIT PROJECTION WOULD BE ON THESE.

NINETY SIX LOTS.

WE THINK, WILL AVERAGE ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AT BUILD OUT ON THESE HOMES THAT WILL OBVIOUSLY ESCALATE OVER TIME.

AND SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A THREE HUNDRED AND SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS

[01:45:02]

ANNUAL TAX REVENUE AT BUILD OUT THAT'S GOING TO THE CITY WOULD SEE AND BENEFIT FROM ,IN OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD.

THAT'S ABOUT 6.14 MILLION DOLLARS.

SO THEN I GOT ON YOUR LITTLE WEBSITE, WHICH IS PRETTY AWESOME, AND IT TELLS YOU WHAT YOUR TAX DOLLARS, WHERE THEY GO AND WHAT THEY GO TO WORK FOR, AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT CITY SERVICES THAT THESE HOMES WILL HELP SUPPORT.

SOME OF THE OTHER BENEFITS OF ANNEXATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF STANFORD FARMS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS IS PUBLIC SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM VERSUS PRIVATE SEPTIC SYSTEMS. YOU DO ONE ACRE LOTS, IT'S ALL SEPTIC SYSTEMS, SPRAY FIELDS.

THIS WILL BE ALL UNDERGROUND, CITY REGULATED, CITY CONTROLLED, CITY ENGINEER, DESIGNED AND AND MAINTAINED STREETS WITH CURB AND GUTTER AND STORM SEWER SYSTEM VERSUS YOUR OPEN SWALE AND CULVERTS, WHICH IF YOU KNOW THAT THAT CAN BE A MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARE.

CITY BUILDING PERMITS AND INSPECTION FEES VERSUS JOHNSON COUNTY INSPECTIONS AND THEN ROADWAY IMPACTS AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES VERSUS NO FEES PAID IN THE COUNTY.

SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HOMES, THESE ARE PRODUCT THAT YOU'LL SEE AND WE'VE GOT IT IN OUR [INAUDIBLE] CREEK AND BREEZY HILL SUBDIVISIONS IN ROCK WALL.

THESE ARE WINDSOR HOMES.

OUR SISTER HOME BUILDING COMPANY.

HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT.

IT'S GOT AND HERE'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECTED HOUSING PRICE POINT WE THINK WILL BE IN THE LOW 400S TO THE MID 500S ON OUR HOMES.

THE PROJECTED SQUARE FEET FROM 2000 TO 3500 SQUARE FEET.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE BANDING BASED ON THE SIZE, HOW MUCH THE EXPECTED PRICE POINTS WILL BE.

AND THAT'S PRIOR TO HAVING ANY OPTIONS BY THE SELECTED HOMEOWNERS.

SO AS THEY GO INTO THE DESIGN SHOP, THEY TEND TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY AND SO THE AVERAGE PRICE OF THE HOME GOES UP.

LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STANFORD FAMILY HISTORY.

THE STANFORD FAMILY HAS OWNED THIS PROPERTY SINCE 1946.

IN 2009, AN ANTICIPATION OF THIS WHOLE AREA OUT THERE DEVELOPING OUT.

AND I THINK AS PART OF PINNACLE ESTATES GETTING PUT ON THE GROUND, THEY DEDICATED TO A SANITARY SERIES WENT RIGHT DOWN THROUGH THE HEART OF THEIR PROJECT, WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN GREEN.

THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO LIVE ON THE PROPERTY.

WHAT YOU SEE IN THE BOXES IN YELLOW, THE TWO FAMILY MEMBERS WILL STAY AND REMAIN, YOU KNOW, ADJACENT TO THE SUBDIVISION.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE STANFORD FAMILY FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS.

THEY I HOPE THAT I THINK BILL WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY CHOSE US BECAUSE OF OUR REPUTATION, BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT THAT WE PUT ON THE GROUND.

AND THEY'VE BEEN GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THE CITY OF BURLESON.

THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THE CITY OF BURLESON.

WE HOPE THAT YOU'LL HELP THEM HELP US SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AND SEE IT GO FORWARD.

AND SO THAT SAID, I'D LIKE TO ASK BILL IF HE'D LIKE TO COME UP AND SAY A FEW WORDS AS PART OF OUR PRESENTATION AND I'D BE HAPPY TO STICK AROUND TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL HAVE AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE DISCUSSION AND WE'D LOOK FORWARD TO HOPEFULLY THE SUPPORT.

PLEASE.

SO ON THIS ITEM.

MR. STANFORD SIGNED UP TO SPEAK TO ITEMS A B AND C.

B AND C B IN PUBLIC HEARING.

SO MAYOR AT THIS TIME, IF YOU COULD OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM B SINCE WE'LL HAVE TO DO IT ANYWAYS.

SO ITEM B, WHICH IS STANFORD FARMS VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.

IF YOU COULD OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING IN STATE AT THE TIME.

IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS? NO, THERE'S NO MOTION MAYOR, YOU JUST MAKE BY ANNOUNCEMENT.

I'M SORRY, EXCUSE.

I'LL MAKE THIS HEARING AN OPEN SESSION AT 8:47.

AND THEN IF YOU'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR 6C WHICH IS THE WHICH IS THE I'M SORRY, APPROVAL OF THE ZONING CHANGE FROM DEFAULT AGRICULTURAL TO PD DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

OH, I'LL OPEN THAT ONE UP ALSO.

CAN YOU STATE THE TIME PLEASE.

8:48.

APPRECIATE BILL STANFORD ADDRESS IN 1600 COUNTRY ROAD 602.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M SORRY, MR. STANFORD.

GO FORWARD.

JUST FOR THE RECORD, AS FAR AS I KNOW, I'M NOT RELATED TO THE COUNCILMAN JIMMY STANFORD TATE NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST HERE.

UNLESS YOU'RE EXTREMELY RICH, I MIGHT BE A RELATIVE, YOU KNOW? BUT BUT ANYWAY, JUST FOR THE RECORD, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD THE OUR FARM SINCE 1946, AND MY SISTER AND I, MY SISTER, LINDA [INAUDIBLE] AND I ARE CO-OWNERS OF THE FARM AND WE LIVE RIGHT ADJACENT TO IT.

WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON LEAVING.

WE'RE GOING TO STAY RIGHT THERE.

EXCUSE ME, I WON'T SAY THAT IN DEALING WITH THE SCOREBOARD FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I AGREE THAT WE FOUND THEM, TO BE EXTREMELY HONEST WITH US.

WE'RE VERY OPEN IN ALL OF OUR DEALINGS AND I FEEL LIKE THAT THEY'VE DONE TRYING TO DO THE SAME.

EXCUSE ME, THE SAME WITH THE CITY OF BURLESON.

[01:50:02]

THEY'VE TRIED TO PUT THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO THROW THAT IN RIGHT QUICK BECAUSE HE DID COMMENT ON THAT.

BUT I'VE GOT QUITE A FEW ITEMS I WAS GOING TO SPEAK ON, BUT I'LL TRY TO SKIP THROUGH.

I KNOW WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME HERE, SO WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO WORK ON THAT.

BUT AS THE LAST TIME THIS CAME BEFORE, IT WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE THE CITY WANTED TO SEE MORE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS AND AND THEY WENT BACK AND REPLAYED IT, AS BRYAN MENTIONED.

BUT THEY THEY DID MORE THAN MORE THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE CITY ASK AND THEY DID ALL OF THEIRS, NOT JUST A FEW MORE, AND THEY DID ALL OF THEM 10000 SQUARE FOOT OR MORE.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THE BEST TO WORK WITH THE CITY AND PUT THE BEST FOOT FORWARD.

AND THERE'S UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S SOME THAT IT'S REFERRING TO THE SCOREBOARD DEVELOPMENT AS A HIGHER DENSITY AND CLASSIFYING THE HOMES OR SAYING THE HOMES ARE, YOU KNOW, STARTER HOMES OR TRACT HOMES.

THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

THESE ARE HALF A MILLION DOLLAR HOMES AND THEIR QUALITY HOMES.

AND IT'S MY OPINION THAT, YOU KNOW, A STARTER HOME IS NOT A HALF MILLION DOLLARS, BUT THESE ARE QUALITY.

WHAT THEY DO IS, YOU KNOW, THE QUALITY, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE WENT WITH THEM BECAUSE WE KIND OF DID, YOU KNOW, CHECK THEM OUT BEFORE WE WENT WITH THEM.

WE'VE SEEN WHAT THE DEVELOPMENTS THEY DO AND THE HISTORY THAT THEY HAVE.

AND SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE DECIDING FACTORS FOR US TO GO WITH THEM.

BUT I'M GOING TO USE PINNACLE ESTATES AS AN EXAMPLE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM US AND I GO OUT TO MY MAILBOX AND I CAN SEE THE ENTRANCE TO PINNACLE AND I CAN SEE THE HOUSE, THE TREES, ESPECIALLY WINTERTIME.

BUT I WHEN THEY'RE DOING ALL THAT FRAMING WORK.

I CAN HEAR NAIL GUNS, SO THAT'S HOW CLOSE WE ARE TO THAT.

TAYLOR BRIDGE IS IN BETWEEN.

AND THAT'S WHAT KIND OF SEPARATES PINNACLE FROM OUR FARM.

BUT PINNACLE IS BASICALLY THE ABOUT THE SAME TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IS WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING.

[INAUDIBLE] PROPOSING FOR OUR FARM, THE SAME TYPE, YOU KNOW, SAME SIZE LOTS, THE SAME TYPE OF QUALITY OF BUILD BUILDINGS, HOMES, THE SAME TYPE PRICE RANGE.

SO THEY'RE BASICALLY THE SAME.

SO IF THEY'RE GOING TO CLASSIFY SCOREBOARDS DEVELOPMENT AS, YOU KNOW, TRACK HOMES OR IN HIGH DENSITY, THEN YOU'VE GOT TO CLASSIFY A PINNACLE IN THE SAME CATEGORY.

AND SO IN SAYING THAT AS THIS GENTLEMAN'S ROLE ON THE CAR THAT HE'S BEEN AFFECTED, YOU KNOW, THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO AFFECT HIS THE VALUE OF HIS PROPERTY WITH PINNACLE BEING RIGHT BESIDE TAYLOR BRIDGE ESTATES.

I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF A SALE OF A HOUSE OVER THERE.

IT WAS PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2018 FOR THE PRICE OF FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND.

IT'S SOLD THIS YEAR IN MAY FOR THE PRICE OF $862,400.

THAT'S INCREASED IN VALUE OF $287,400 IN THREE YEARS AND FOUR MONTHS FORTY MONTHS ALTOGETHER.

AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT COMES OUT TO ABOUT $7,185 A MONTH AT THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY INCREASED.

VALUE HAVE INCREASED.

SO I'M THINKING, YOU KNOW, I'M KIND OF SLOW, BUT I'M THINKING, YOU KNOW, THAT DIDN'T PINNACLE DIDN'T HAVE ANY EFFECT ON BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF TAYLOR BRIDGE.

AND SO THAT DIDN'T HAVE EFFECT ON.

AND SO I DON'T SEE HOW THE SCHOOL WORKS DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTH SIDE COULD HAVE, YOU KNOW THAT MUCH EFFECT ON IT.

AND SO WITH THAT SAID, WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, THE QUIL MILLER CREEK, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT.

IT COMES THROUGH THE FARM.

YES, IT FLOODS AND IT'S ALWAYS FLOODED, YOU KNOW? BUT THAT CREEK GETS ITS ORIGIN AROUND THE [INAUDIBLE] BAPTIST CHURCH OFF 917 OR [INAUDIBLE].

THAT'S WHERE IT GETS ITS ORIGIN, AND IT RUNS ABOUT RUNS NORTH, ABOUT EIGHT MILES AND IT COMES INTO VILLAGE CREEK RIGHT HERE IN BURLESON, BEHIND [INAUDIBLE] AIRPORT.

AND BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS DEVELOPMENT ON THAT ALONG THAT ALONG AT CREEK.

AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT THEY'VE MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, WE GOT BLOOMFIELD HOMES AND WE GOT PINNACLE AND YOU GO UPSTREAM A LITTLE FURTHER.

YOU GOT YOGI BEAR RV PARK, WHICH LITTLE CREEK RUNS RIGHT THROUGH IT.

AND SO THEN YOU GO UNDER 35 AND YOU GO FURTHER SOUTH AND YOU GO BEHIND BURLESON INDUSTRIAL PARK, ALL THE DRAINAGE, ALL THAT GOES RIGHT INTO IT.

[01:55:05]

AND SO.

SO YES, IT'S GOING TO FLOOD.

IT'S ALWAYS FLOODED.

BUT SAY THAT OR SUGGEST THAT THE WATER ANY DRAINAGE OFF OF JUST THE DEVELOPMENT ON FROM SCOREBOARD IS GOING TO CAUSE EXCESSIVE ALL THIS EXCESSIVE FLOODING ON QUIL MILLER CREEK IS REALLY NOT AN ACCURATE STATEMENT BECAUSE IT'S THERE'S SO MUCH ACTIVITY ON THAT CREEK, SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT ALONG IT.

SO IT'S SO MANY FACTORS GOES INTO IT.

BUT 602, BOY, THAT'S IT.

THAT RUNS UP A FLAG.

AND I AGREE THAT'S A IT'S A NARROW, IT'S DANGEROUS ROAD.

AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE A NEED FOR SPEED AND THEY GO TO BONFILS SALT FLATS, BUT THE REST OF THEM GO TO 602.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WE'VE GOT ON 602 IS THIS SPEEDING AND THE CITY BURLESON HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT A LOT OF THAT TOMORROW.

SPEAK TO [INAUDIBLE] AND YOU KNOW I'VE CALLED THE BURLESON POLICE DEPARTMENT, I'VE TALKED TO HIM ON THE PHONE.

I'VE TALKED TO MY EMAILS.

I'VE TALKED TO THE JOHNSON COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ABOUT THAT ISSUE.

NO RESPONSE.

I SENT THE MAYOR AN EMAIL EARLIER THIS YEAR ABOUT THAT, AND I GOT TO SAY I WAS EXTREMELY IMPRESSED AND HOW QUICKLY I GOT A REPLY FROM YOU.

YOU KNOW, I SENT YOU AN EMAIL ABOUT THAT AND I GOT A REPLY WITHIN HOURS.

MAN [INAUDIBLE] WHOA.

BUT BUT WE STILL HAVEN'T GOT ANY SPEED CONTROL OUT THERE, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE MAJOR FACTORS.

THE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE AS A SAFETY, AND THAT'S PART OF IT.

PEOPLE, THEY FLY DOWN THAT ROAD, THERE'S VEHICLES AND ATVS, GO CARTS, YOU NAME IT, AND IT'S GOT FOUR WHEELS OR TWO WHEELS.

IT FLIES ON THAT ROAD.

SO BUT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CORRECT SOME OF THAT PROBLEM THAT WE'RE HAVING OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, STARTING TOMORROW.

BUT AS A BRYAN, I SUGGESTED TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO REALIGNMENT 602, THE INTERSECTION 602 AND 600.

AND THERE BE A LOT.

THAT CAN'T HAPPEN SOON ENOUGH.

BUT I KNOW, YOU KNOW, THAT'S DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT AT SOME TIMES AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, IF WE CAN GET THAT LIGHT AND IF WE CAN GET SOME SPEED CONTROL ON 602, WE WOULD IT WOULD GREATLY ENHANCE THE SAFETY OF THAT ROAD IMPROVEMENT OF IT.

AND SO BUT IN CLOSING, I'D SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE AGAIN, I KIND OF BEAT ON KIND OF MENTIONED PINNACLE TO STATES AND BUT WE'RE JUST ASKING THAT CITY VOTES AND GIVE SCOREBOARD THE SAME CONSIDERATION THAT THEY GAVE JOHN HOUSTON IN PINNACLE ESTATES.

WE'D ASK THAT THE THIS PLAT BE APPROVED TONIGHT AND THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD.

I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

THE NEXT SPEAKER I HAVE IS CINDY CULLEN.

MS. CULLEN IN THE AUDIENCE? OK, STEVE [INAUDIBLE].

GOOD EVENING, YES.

MY NAME STEVE [INAUDIBLE].

YES, I'VE BEEN A CITIZEN HERE IN BURLESON FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS, AND DEFINITELY THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I WANT TO BE.

TALKING ABOUT STANFORD FARMS, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IS OPPOSED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF STANFORD FARMS. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF PROPERTY.

IT DEFINITELY HAS SOME.

IT DEFINITELY HAS HISTORY.

AND YOU KNOW, HONESTLY, IF I HAD THE MONEY TO BUY IT, WE WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE TALKING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.

IF AND WHEN STANFORD FARMERS DEVELOP ALL THE FOLKS, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S AGAINST US, AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT, BUT WHAT THE FOLKS ARE ASKING OF THE COUNCIL IS TO COMPLETE CONSIDER MAINTAINING SOME CONSISTENCY OF WHAT'S THERE NOW.

YOU HAVE THE EXISTING TAYLOR BRIDGE TO THE SOUTH AND IT'S ONE ACRE PLUS LOTS.

IT'S THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT, MANY MINIMUM BUILD.

YOU HAVE.

MR. VAN WIESEL'S PROJECT COMING TO THE NORTH, TAYLOR BRIDGE NORTH, SAME THING, IT'S GOING TO BE ONE ACRE PLUS LOTS, THAT'S I'M SURE IT'LL BE 3000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM HOME BUILT ON THAT ALSO.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MR. [INAUDIBLE].

HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE YOU HAVE HIS PROJECT TO THE EAST.

AND SAME THING.

ONE ACRE PLUS LOTS AND THREE THOUSAND MINIMUM SQUARE FOOT BILL.

[02:00:05]

I KNOW THAT WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS IS MIRROR WHAT WAS BUILT TO THE SOUTH PINNACLE ESTATES, AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO MIRROR.

BUT IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT, 50 PERCENT OF THE COUNCIL LAST TIME DID OPPOSE PINNACLE ESTATES.

AS FAR AS COUNTY ROAD 602 GOES, COUNTY ROAD 602, IS A COUNTY ROAD, IS A COUNTY ROAD, JUST LIKE MR. STANFORD SAID.

PEOPLE SPEED UP AND DOWN THE ROAD.

IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.

IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT.

BUT I DO HAVE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO BOB.

BOB'S THE GENTLEMAN THAT WEEKLY PICKS UP THE TRASH UP AND DOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE COUNTY ROAD 602.

AND I GOT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO A GENTLEMAN.

I DON'T KNOW WHO IT WAS, BUT WHOEVER STRIPED BLIND HILL THAT REALLY HELP KEEPING PEOPLE ON THEIR SIDE OF THE ROAD.

SO IN CLOSING, ALL I REALLY WANT TO SAY IS.

THE COUNCIL IN THE CITY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO A UNIQUE DEVELOPED EAST SIDE OF BURLESON INTO SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL, AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO YOU AGAIN TO CONSIDER MAINTAINING WHAT IS CURRENTLY SURROUNDING THE FUTURE STANFORD FARMS. I APPRECIATE IT.

THE NEXT SPEAKER I HAVE IS BILL [INAUDIBLE].

BILL [INAUDIBLE] 117 NORTHEAST CLINTON, WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT LOT SIZES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY FORTY THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY SQUARE FEET PER ACRE.

TEN THOUSAND SQUARE FEET IS BETWEEN FIFTH OF AN ACRE AND A QUARTER ACRE.

SAME LOT SIZES THEY USED ON THESE HOUSES OFF OF RENFRO STREET, CINDY STREET, OVER NEAR HUGHES.

50 60 YEARS AGO, THOSE HOUSES ARE ANYWHERE FROM 900 TO 1100 1300 SQUARE FEET.

YOU'RE TALKING A LOT.

SIZE IS NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN THIS ROOM FOR A LITTLE BIT BIGGER IN THIS ROOM, ABOUT 40 PERCENT BIGGER TEN THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.

I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT WATER RETENTION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THE SMALLER THE LOT SIZES, WHEN YOU CRAM THEM IN, YOU GET A LOT MORE WATERSHED.

YOU'RE TALKING, GOING FROM LIKE A MILLION GALLONS A WATERSHED PER HOUR PER INCH OF RAIN.

DOUBLING IT.

A MILLION GALLONS IS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN THIS RAIN, PROBABLY ABOUT 30 FEET TALL, QUITE A BIT OF WATER.

IT'S GOING TO FLOOD QUIL MILLER, WHERE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE SIMILAR IN SIZE.

THAT WAS WRONG.

THE CITY SHOULD HAVE KEPT A MINIMUM OF ONE ACRE A LONG TIME AGO.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY DECIDED TO DOWNSIZE, LIKE I SAID 50 60 YEARS AGO.

IT'S A FIFTH OF AN ACRE.

THEN HE WENT UP TO QUARTER ACRE LOTS OUT OF COUNTRY.

WE GOT ANOTHER BUILDER IN HERE THAT HIS HOMES ARE A LITTLE OVER AN ACRE AND ABOVE.

AND I UNDERSTAND THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR, CAPITALISM AND ALL THAT STUFF.

YOU ALWAYS WANT TO SEE SOMEBODY MAKE A PROFIT.

BUT I DO REMEMBER OTHER MEETINGS, CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS BEFORE ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES.

HE GOT A LITTLE CONFRONTATIONAL AND STUFF LIKE THAT BASICALLY SAID HE WOULD JUST GO TO THE COUNTY.

I GUESS THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN BACK SEVERAL TIMES.

I DO NOT LIVE IN THAT AREA.

I DO A LOT OF WORK FOR CUSTOMERS OUT THERE.

I'VE SEEN THE FLOODING I'VE SEEN.

I'VE SPOKE ANALYSTS ABOUT THAT.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ONE ACRE MINIMUM LOTS.

THE PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO THAT LIVE OUT IN THAT AREA, THEY WOULD BE HAPPY WITH ONE ACRE.

I THINK ONE ACRE SHOULD BE WHAT THE CITY SHOULD RESORT BACK TO FOR THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT SIZE, PLENTY OF PROFIT TO BE MADE OFF THAT.

APPRECIATE IT.

NEXT, SPEAKER I HAVE IS [INAUDIBLE].

I'M SORRY.

MY VIEW IS BLOCKED FROM HALF OF THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS SEEING OVER HERE.

THE NEXT SPEAKER I HAVE IS ROBERT [INAUDIBLE].

ROBERT W.

[INAUDIBLE] 1100 COUNTRY ROAD 602.

I'M OPPOSED TO THE STANFORD FARMS DEVELOPMENT, THE LOT SIZE DOES NOT MATCH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE WOODED HILLS IS ACRE AND BETTER.

[02:05:04]

I THINK MR. VAN WIESEL, HE'S GOT ACRE AND UP TO MAYBE SIX OR SEVEN ACRE LOTS GOING IN JUST NORTH OF THERE, THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM ON 602.

IT'S A PROBLEM NOW AND AGAIN.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SAY ALL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THE RUNOFF ISSUE IS CUMULATIVE.

YOU KEEP ADDING MORE AND MORE WATER TO QUIL MILLER.

IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE, AND IT'S CERTAINLY A PROBLEM FOR ME.

THANK YOU VERY KINDLY.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THOSE ARE ALL THE SPEAKER CARDS THAT I HAVE AT THIS TIME, IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THESE ITEMS? SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 6B WHICH IS THE ANNEXATION.

CAN YOU TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONE.

I AM GOING TO CLOSE THE HEARING ON THIS AT 6:05.9:05.

AND THEN IF YOU COULD CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 6C WHICH IS THE ZONING CHANGE.

I'LL CLOSE THE HEARING ON AT 9:05 ALSO.

AT THIS TIME, WE BRING FORWARD BACK ITEM 6A FOR COUNCILS FOR DISCUSSION OF THE COUNCIL.

MAYOR.

THE PROBABLY THE ITEM THAT THE COUNCIL SHOULD FOCUS OUR CONVERSATION ON AT THE BEGINNING IS GOING TO BE 6B, IN THE SENSE.

IT'S THE DISCUSSION OF WHETHER OR NOT TO ANNEX THE PROPERTY.

IF THE COUNCIL, IN ITS LEGISLATIVE WISDOM, DOES NOT WISH TO ANNEX THE PROPERTY, THEN ZONING IS IRRELEVANT.

IT CANNOT OCCUR AND THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT IS IRRELEVANT IF THE COUNCIL IS NOT INTERESTED IN PROCEEDING WITH ANNEXATION.

SO IF YOU CROSS THE THRESHOLD OF WHETHER YOU WANT TO ANNEX IT, THEN WE TALK ABOUT THE PD ZONING.

IT JUST IN CONVERSATION AS TO WHETHER YOU CAN LIVE WITH IT.

THEN WE TALK ABOUT ADOPTING FIRST A THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT, B THE ANNEXATION, AND THEN C THE ZONING IN THAT ORDER FOR ACTION PURPOSES.

SO MAYBE IF THE COUNCIL HAS QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS OR DISCUSSION ABOUT B, THE IDEA OF WHETHER IT SHOULD BE ANNEXED, THAT'S WHERE YOU HAD.

EVERYBODY'S LOOKING AT EACH OTHER LIKE, SO IF THERE'S NO DISCUSSION, THEN MAYBE YOU CAN ASK FOR A MOTION ON ITEM 6B.

IF THERE'S NO DISCUSSION GOING A FIRST, I HAVE THE AGREEMENT IN PLACE .

BECAUSE A PROVIDES THE SAFEGUARD THAT DEVELOPERS REQUESTED SPEAKERS] COMPLIANT.

I'M SORRY, I'M CONFUSED, I AM TOO.

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID WE HAVE TO VOTE ON TWO, I MEAN B.

WHAT.

I'M SORRY.

LET ME CLARIFY AGAIN WHAT I MEAN IS THE DISCUSSION.

YOUR DISCUSSION SHOULD BE ON ITEM B TO DECIDE IF YOU FEEL YOU WANT TO GO THERE.

IF THE COUNCIL, A MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS NOT INTERESTED IN ANNEXATION.

THEN YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO DENY A BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED THE AGREEMENT.

ALL RIGHT.

AS A PRACTICAL MATTER, YOU COULD GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON B ON ANNEXATION IF YOU DENY IT, THAT MEETS ALL THE OTHER ITEMS. I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT WE WERE DOING, BUT.

I'LL ALLOW YOU TO TELL MAYOR IF YOU'LL TAKE DIRECTION FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY, PLEASE, ON HOW YOU'RE TO TAKE THESE ITEMS UP.

OK, I'VE ALREADY DONE EVERYTHING.

WE'RE READY FOR A VOTE, RIGHT? YES, SIR, BUT YOU'LL NEED TO SAY WHAT ITEM YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A VOTE FOR.

IS THERE A MOTION ON ITEM 6B? I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY.

I SECOND.

WAIT, IF YOU'LL IF, MICHAEL, IF YOU'LL PUT UP THE VOTING ON THERE, PLEASE.

IT'S READY.

SO IF YOU'LL JUST MAKE THE MOTION ELECTRONICALLY AND THIS IS A MOTION ON ITEM 6B ANNEXATION TO DENY THE ANNEXATION, AS STATED BY COUNCIL MEMBER VICTORIA JOHNSON.

IS THERE A SECOND ON THIS MOTION? I SECONDED.

OH, DO I DO HAVE TO DO IT ON THERE SO SORRY BECAUSE I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE WE'RE

[02:10:01]

SAYING DENY.

CORRECT.[INAUDIBLE] I'M WITH YOU.

NO.

YOU NEED TO VOTE, YOU NEED TO VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE IF YOU SUPPORT THE MOTION AS STATED, OR YOU NEED TO VOTE IN DENIAL IF YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE MOTION THAT WAS MADE.

AND I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING.

SO YOU EITHER SUPPORT THE DENIAL OR YOU OPPOSE THE DENIAL.

SO THE MOTION WAS FOR DENIAL BY COUNCIL MEMBER VICTORIA JOHNSON AND SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER TAMARA PAYNE TO DENY THE ANNEXATION.

A MOTION PASSED SIX TWO, SIX TO ONE.

SO THEREFORE, THE ANNEXATION HAS BEEN DENIED, MAKING ITEM 6A.

AND 6C.

AND 6C NON ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED BY THIS COUNCIL.

SO AT THIS TIME, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

[D. Jasco Car Wash located at 236 E Renfro Street (Case 21-084): Hold a public hearing and consider a Commercial Site Plan for a car wash with a waiver to Chapter 5 Section 5.4C1c of the Design Standards Manual requiring a looped water distribution system. (Staff Presenter: Tony Mcilwain, Director of Development Services)(The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by unanimous vote.)]

THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS 6D JASCO CAR WASH, LOCATED AT 236 EAST RENFRO STREET CASE 21-084.

THIS IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN FOR A CAR WASH WITH A WAIVER TO CHAPTER FIVE, SECTION 5.4C1C OF THE DESIGN STANDARD MANUAL REQUIRING A LOOPED WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

TONIGHT, FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE HAVE STAFF PRESENTER TONY [INAUDIBLE], DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, AND WE WELCOME HIM HERE TO THE CITY OF BURLESON.

YOU'RE VERY GRACIOUS.

MAYOR, COUNCIL CITY MANAGER, CITY ATTORNEY THANK YOU.

IT'S A PLEASURE FOR ME TO BE HERE.

THIS ITEM TONIGHT DOES INVOLVE TWO CONSIDERATIONS, ACTUALLY, IS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE WAIVER TO SITE PLAN WITH DESIGN STANDARDS AND ALSO THE OVERALL SITE PLAN.

THAT'S BEFORE YOU, AS A CITY SECRETARY MENTIONED, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 2.36 EAST RENFRO STREET, JIMMY PURSELLEY WITH JASCO CONSTRUCTION LLC, IS THE APPLICANT AND OWNER.

AS FAR AS PROPERTY INFORMATION, THE CURRENT ZONING OF THIS SITE IS SP SITE PLAN WITH A BASE ZONING OF GENERAL RETAIL IS LOCATED IN THE IH-35 OVERLAY SPECIFIC PLAN AREA ONE WHICH IS ALONG SPINKS ROAD.

BY WAY OF HISTORY, BACK IN AUGUST OF 2019, THE COUNCIL APPROVED THE REQUEST TO SHIFT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ZONING FROM I INDUSTRIAL TO SP, WHICH IS A SITE PLAN, AND THEN ALSO INSTITUTED THE BASE ZONING OF GENERAL RETAIL.

A PREVIOUS APPLICANT REQUESTED A CIGAR LOUNGE AS AN ADDITIONAL PERMITTED USE WITHIN THE ORDINANCE.

WITH THE ORDINANCE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU, THIS PROPOSED USE WAS NEVER CONSTRUCTED, BUT THE ORDINANCE REMAINED TIED TO THE PROPERTY.

THE CURRENT APPLICANT PURCHASED THE PROPERTY TO CONSTRUCT A CAR WASH.

THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION TO AMEND THE SITE PLAN TO INCLUDE AN AUTO LAUNDRY CAR WASH AS AN ADDITIONAL PERMITTED USE.

THIS WAS SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL ON JUNE 20ST OF THIS YEAR.

SO ON THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE THE SUBJECT AREA IN QUESTION IN PURPLE RIGHT ALONG EAST RENFRO STREET.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE USE OF A LAUNDRY CAR WASH IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN THE SUBJECT SITE PLANNING ZONING DISTRICTS, SO THE JASCO CAR WASH SITE PLAN AS FAR AS SPECIFICS.

IT'S 4,509 SQUARE FEET SINGLE-STORY.

TWENTY-SEVEN TOTAL PARKING SPACES, OF WHICH 15 ARE COVERED CANOPY SPACES.

THESE AGAIN, THESE ARE YOUR YOUR COVERED SPACES HERE IN THIS AREA HERE.

THERE'S THE ONE WAIVER REQUEST TO THE DESIGN STANDARDS MANUAL.

THIS IS JUST ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND THAT WE'VE PROVIDED FOR YOU, WHICH GIVES YOU SOME IDEA AS FAR AS THE PERMITTED MASONRY AND WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.

THAT'S LOOKING ALONG EAST RENFRO STREET WHICH IS THE EAST BUILDING ELEVATION.

THE SOUTH ELEVATION.

WEST ELEVATION OF THE SITE.

AND LASTLY, YOUR NORTH BUILDING ELEVATION, THE APPLICANT HAS EXCEEDED THE

[02:15:01]

CITY'S STATED REQUIREMENTS PER CODE FOR THE PROPOSED CAR WASH.

LANDSCAPING ALSO MEETS THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS.

PARKING IS IN EXCESS OF WHAT THE CITY REQUIRES AS FAR AS A MINIMUM STANDARDS, WITH A TOTAL OF TWENTY SEVEN PARKING SPACES, OF WHICH TWO ARE ADA COMPLIANT SPACES.

SO THIS TABLE JUST BRINGS TOGETHER WHAT'S REQUIRED FOR CITY CODE STAFF'S FINDINGS WITH REGARD TO THOSE THINGS THAT I JUST MENTIONED TO YOU.

IT IS COMPLIANT WITH LOTS OF ICE COVERAGE AND SETBACKS, LANDSCAPING AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

WITH REGARD TO UTILITIES, WATER AND SANITARY SEWER WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY SHALL BE EXTENDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DESIGN STANDARDS MANUAL AND DRAINAGE WILL BE SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW.

DETENTION IS NOT GOING TO BE REQUIRED FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT AND STORMWATER RUNOFF WILL EXIT THE SITE AND TXDOT'S RIGHT AWAY AND BE CONVEYED VIA THE EXISTING BARROW DITCHES.

WITH REGARD TO TRAFFIC, THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR THE PROJECT DID PROVIDE A TIA, EXCUSE ME, A TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT LETTER WHICH STATES TO THE TIA THRESHOLD WAS NOT MET.

SO THERE NO REQUIRE REQUIRING NO IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED TO THE CITY'S ROADWAY NETWORK.

WE ARE LOOKING AT NEW DRIVE CONNECTION FOR ACCESS TO THE SITE FROM EAST RENFRO STREET, WHICH AGAIN IS A TXDOT FACILITY AND WILL REQUIRE TEXTILE PERMIT.

THE WAIVER IN QUESTION TONIGHT, COUNSEL IS PER CHAPTER FIVE, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL SITES WE REQUIRE ESSENTIALLY A LOOP WATER LINE WITH THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING OF YOU IS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TO NOT PUT IN THE LOOP WATERLINE.

INSTEAD, WHAT THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING FOR IS YOUR CONSIDERATION THAT THE PROPOSED USE OF THE SITE AND LOCATION IS SUFFICIENT TO NOT REQUIRE THE LOOP WATER LINE.

HOWEVER, THAT IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION ALSO THAT THERE'S A MAIN LINE AVAILABLE FOR LOOPING IN THE FUTURE.

THE FIRE MARSHAL STAFF, AS WELL AS OUR PUBLIC WORK STAFF, HAS REVIEWED THE WAIVER REQUEST ARE IN SUPPORT OF IT.

WE NOTIFIED INDIVIDUALS WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE SUBJECT SITE, PUBLISHED NOTICE IN THE NEWSPAPER, WE'VE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSES.

AND THAT'S OUR NOTIFICATION BOUNDARY YOU SEE IN THE YELLOW LINE ON THOSE LOTS.

IT IS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE WAIVER TO THE DESIGN STANDARDS MANUAL WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE CAN REQUEST LOOPING IN THE FUTURE FROM MEMORIAL PLAZA.

STAFF IS ALSO, OF COURSE, IN SUPPORT OF THE SITE PLAN.

OUR PLAN IS ONLY COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLANNING UNANIMOUSLY, AND THERE WAS A BRIEF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE INCREASE IF THERE WAS INDEED INCREASED RISK WITHOUT LOOPING THE WATERLINE THAT THE STAFF ENGAGED IN.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, MR. MAYOR, YOU MAY OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME.

I OPEN THIS PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:17, 9:17 .

WHAT'S GOING ON? DYSLEXIC UPSIDE DOWN.

PLEASE DON'T PUSH US BACK IN TIME.

[LAUGHTER] I HAVE NO SPEAKERS AT THIS TIME.

I HAVE NO SPEAKER CARDS FOR ITEM 6D.

IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 6D THAT HAS NOT FILLED OUT A SPEAKER CARD? SEE, NO ONE.

SO, MR. MAYOR, IF YOU COULD PLEASE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING THE STATE AT THE TIME.

OKAY, I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 9:18.

THANK YOU, SIR.

IF WE LOOP IN THE FUTURE, WHO'S ON THE HOOK TO FUND THAT? IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

SO MOST OF THE TIME YOUR INTERNAL WATERLINE LOOPING IS DONE PER THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE.

SO IN INSTANCES LIKE THAT, IT WOULD BE A PRIVATE ENTITY.

DOING THE LOOPING OF THE WATER LINE SAY ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OCCURS ON THE SITE.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE TYPICALLY SEE WHEN YOU SEE [INAUDIBLE].

BASICALLY WE'RE SAYING IF NO OTHER DEVELOPMENT COMES IN, THERE'S NO IT DOES NOT NECESSITATE LOOPING.

IF MORE DEVELOPMENT COMES IN, THEN WE WOULD CONSIDER IT AND THEN THEY WOULD BE ON OK.

IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS? I HAVE A MOTION BY DAN AND A SECOND BY JIMMY.

[02:20:06]

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AT THIS TIME, I'LL CALL FORWARD ITEMS 6E, 620

[E. 620 SW Wilshire Boulevard located behind the northern corner of Hobby Lobby (Case 19-082): Hold a public hearing and consider a specific use permit (SUP) to allow a stealth monopole antenna facility (telecommunication tower). (First and Final Reading) (Staff Presenter: Tony McIlwain, Development Services Director) (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval at a height of 100 feet by 5-1 vote.)]

SOUTHWEST WILSHIRE BOULEVARD LOCATED BEHIND THE NORTH CORNER OF HOBBY LOBBY CASE 19-082.

THIS IS A HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ORDINANCE TO ALLOW A STEALTH MONOPOLE [INAUDIBLE].

SORRY ANTENNA FACILITY TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER.

THIS IS BEFORE YOU ON FIRST AND FINAL READING.

THE STAFF PRESENTER IS ONCE AGAIN MR. TONY [INAUDIBLE], DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR OF, SORRY, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR.

THANK YOU, MADAM SECRETARY.

COUNCIL THIS ITEM DOES INVOLVE A COMMUNICATION FACILITY.

SOME OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE.

IT'S LOCATED AT 620 SOUTHWEST WILSHIRE BOULEVARD.

WITH REGARD TO THE APPLICATION, MR. RALPH WYNGARDEN IS THE APPLICANT, ALONG WITH JIM DUNCAN OF FOUNDATION CAPITAL RESOURCES.

SO THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT INVOLVES APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A STEALTH MONOPOLE ANTENNA FACILITY.

CURRENTLY, THE PROPERTY IS ZONED G.R., WHICH IS GENERAL RETAIL.

OUR SITE PLAN SUMMARY SHOWS A LEASE SITE APPROXIMATELY 12 FEET BY 30 FEET IN SIZE, AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOOT TALL COMMUNICATION FACILITY.

WITH THE WAY OUR CODE IS WRITTEN IN THIS PARTICULAR ZONING DISTRICT ANYTHING SIXTY FIVE FEET OR LESS IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT? SO THERE ARE CERTAIN TRIGGER POINTS TO BRING AN APPLICANT TO THIS POSTURE WHERE THEY HAVE TO GET YOUR PERMISSION, ONE OF WHICH IS HEIGHT IN EXCESS OF SIXTY FIVE FEET.

WE TOOK SCREENSHOTS, PHOTOS, EXCUSE ME, RATHER TO SHOW THE ASSISTANT ANTENNA AND ADJACENT SITE RELATIVE TO THE PROPOSED STEALTH ANTENNA, THAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

SO LOOKING EAST IS THE PICTURE FROM SOUTHWEST WILSHIRE BOULEVARD TO THE LEFT, AND THE VIEW FROM THE WEST IS, OF COURSE, THE PICTURE TO THE RIGHT AND THAT'S FROM BEHIND THE HOBBY LOBBY HERE IN TOWN.

SO IT GIVES YOU SOME IDEA OF DISTANCE, AS WELL AS DIFFERENCES IN HEIGHT AS BEING REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT.

SO WITH REGARD TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN AN AREA THAT IS DESIGNATED AS COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.

YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE USES THAT ARE CONTEMPLATED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE PROPOSED USE DOES CONFORM TO THE CITY'S 2030 MIDPOINT PLAN.

SO WHAT'S BEFORE YOU FOR CONSIDERATION VERSUS STAFFS FINDING ONE ANTENNA PER FACILITY, ONE ANTENNA FACILITY PER A LOT OF RECORD, WHICH IT COMPLIES.

I COMPLIES WITH THE LIMITATION TO ATTACH BUILDING AND MONOPOLE ONLY REQUIREMENTS.

SO I MENTIONED TRIGGER POINTS, SO THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS A TRIGGER POINT FOR AN SUP.

AND THAT BRINGS THE ITEM FOR YOU.

SETBACKS ARE DETAILED FOR YOU IN THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN.

AND THEN WE'VE SHOWN OUR FINDINGS TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN WITH REGARD TO IT BEING 85 FEET FROM A RESIDENTIAL AREA ZONED AREA.

WE HAVE A CHURCH THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 250 FEET FROM THE PROPOSED ANTENNA, AND THE NEAR SINGLE FAMILY HOME IS 425 FEET FROM THE ANTENNA.

CONTINUING WITH OUR STAFF FINDINGS, THE AND THE EXISTING ANTENNA ON ADJACENT SITE NORTH OF THE DOLLAR GENERAL HAS APPROXIMATELY 260 FEET FROM WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

SO THE THREE TRIGGER POINTS, THE HEIGHT, THE SETBACK AND THE SEPARATION FROM THE ADJACENT ANTENNA THAT'S EXISTING ON THE SITE NEXT DOOR.

ALL YOUR TRIGGER POINTS THAT GET THIS ITEM OUT OF A USE BY RIGHT CATEGORY INTO AN SUV CATEGORY AS FAR AS GETTING HERE BEFORE YOU.

SO THIS IS JUST A GRAPHIC THAT STAFF HAS PROVIDED FOR YOU TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF THE THE ADJACENT ZONING THAT WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY HERE.

AND WITH REGARD TO OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS, WE PUBLIC NOTICES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS, WE DID MEET OUR REQUIREMENT PER STATE LAW.

AND WE HAVE RECEIVED OPPOSITION FROM THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER SBA TOWERS IV, LLC

[02:25:03]

REPRESENTATIVES.

SO, INCLUDED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A PRESENTATION AND CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE APPLICANT.

AS WELL AS A PRESENTATION FROM THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER WHO IS IN OPPOSITION TO THIS REQUEST.

THE P AND Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE SUP BY A VOTE OF FIVE TO ONE WHEN IT WENT FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL.

THE SPEAKERS THAT EVENING WERE MR. WYNGARDEN IN SUPPORT AND MR. BEBB FRANCIS IN OPPOSITION.

AND ALSO, WE HAD BILAL ALTAF, A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER THAT WAS PRESENT THAT EVENING.

SO TONIGHT, FOLLOWING YOUR OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE PUBLIC HEARING STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS AS FOLLOWS.

STAFF WILL RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SITE WITH THE TOWER BEING SET AT A HEIGHT OF 100 FEET.

WE FEEL THAT PART OF OUR IS TO MINIMIZE VISUAL CLUTTER ALONG THE STATE HIGHWAY ONE SEVENTY FOUR CORRIDOR AND ALSO IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FEEDBACK THAT STAFF HAS RECEIVED FROM OUR EXTERNAL CONSULTANT, WE FEEL THAT THIS HEIGHT IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE APPLICANT TO MEET ITS REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF WHAT IT'S ATTEMPTING TO DO.

THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION OF THIS ITEM, AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, YOU WILL HAVE OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT WISH TO PROVIDE COMMENTARY TO YOU AND [INAUDIBLE] ENTERTAINING QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

MAYOR, IF YOU COULD OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, PLEASE, AND STATE THE TIME.

OK, I DO HAVE SOME SPEAKER CARDS HERE.

9:26.

THE FIRST ONES I'M GOING TO CALL FORWARD ARE THE APPLICANTS, SO THEY'LL BE ALLOWED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME SINCE THEY ARE THE APPLICANTS.

RALPH WYNGARDEN.

HOW DO I ADVANCE IT? IT WILL JUST BE YOUR DOWN.

MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

MM HMM.

GOOD EVENING, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

MY NAME IS RALPH WYNGARDEN FROM FALCON FOSTER.

678 FRONT AVENUE NORTHWEST SUITE 255.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN 49504.

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT HEMPHILL LLC.

ALSO WITH ME TONIGHT IS VERIZON WIRELESS RADIO FREQUENCY ENGINEER BILAL ALTAF, WILL PROVIDE EXPERT TESTIMONY REGARDING WHAT VERIZON NEEDS TO BEST SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

ALSO WITH ME IS LUKE [INAUDIBLE], A REAL ESTATE MANAGER AT VERIZON WIRELESS AND MONTE PREWITT HEMPHILL DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT.

BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION, HEMPHILL IS BASED IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA.

STARTED IN 1957 AS A SMALL DRILLING OPERATION.

THEY'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME AND HAVE BUILT THOUSANDS OF TOWERS OVER THE LAST THIRTY FIVE YEARS.

THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH THE MAJOR WIRELESS PROVIDERS TO ADDRESS WIRELESS NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE NATION.

THEY HAVE A MASTER LEASE AGREEMENTS WITH THE PROVIDERS, INCLUDING VERIZON, THAT HELP ENSURE STABILITY, CERTAINTY AND PLANNING AND QUICK UPGRADES AS TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES.

WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR TONIGHT IS EXPERT TESTIMONY, ESTABLISHING A NEED FOR ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOOT POLE IN THIS LOCATION.

YOU'LL HEAR WHY THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR ONE HUNDRED SHOULD NOT BE A LIMITATION BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON A CONSULTANT LETTER THAT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE A CONCLUSION BASED ON THE IRF INFORMATION.

RATHER, IT RELIES ON A FLAWED RATIONALE BASED ON ESTHETICS AND BASED ON FEDERAL LAW REGARDING HEIGHT, EXTENSION AND FEDERAL LAW REGARDING UNREASONABLE DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN PROVIDERS.

YOU'LL ALSO HEAR THE ATTORNEY FOR HEMPHILL'S BUSINESS COMPETITOR SBA ATTEMPT TO PAINT THIS IN A BAD LIGHT AND CREATE CONFUSION WITH A GOAL OF POACHING OUR TENANT, VERIZON AND EXPANDING THEIR OWN SITE.

WHAT YOU WON'T HEAR, I'M GUESSING, IS ANY OPPOSITION FROM THE COMMUNITY BEYOND SBA.

THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HERE, SO I GUESS IT'S A RISK TO SAY THAT, BUT BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE, THERE HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN ANY CALLS OR LETTERS OR EMAILS OR NEIGHBORS APPEARING AT ANY OF THE HEARINGS IN OPPOSITION OTHER THAN MR. FRANCIS FROM SBA.

THE OBJECTIVE FOR THIS SITE FOR VERIZON IS COVERAGE AND CAPACITY.

[02:30:06]

THE SITE WILL SERVE BOTH THE BUSY COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ALONG WILSHIRE AND ALSO THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

THIS SITE, IF IT'S NOT BUILT AS IT PROPOSED IN DEMAND, DATA SPEEDS AND VOICE SERVICE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DEGRADE AS SITE OVERLOAD WORSENS.

THAT WILL AFFECT RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, MEDICAL FACILITIES AND GENERAL PUBLIC SAFETY.

VERIZON'S WIRELESS ENGINEER WILL TESTIFY WHY ANTENNA CENTER LINES OF 145 AND 135 ARE NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH THESE OBJECTIVES.

IN ADDITION, I GUESS AT THIS POINT, I'D LIKE TO MENTION TOO THAT A VERIZON WIRELESS REPRESENTATIVE, RYAN BECK, SPOKE WITH STEVE LOGAN, CURRENT TECHNOLOGY OFFICER AT BURLESON ISD AND STEVE INDICATED THAT A TALLER TOWER WOULD HELP PROPAGATE SIGNAL THAT WOULD SUPPORT THE NEW NORWOOD ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE ACADEMY AT 619 EVELYN LANE ALSO IMPROVE CELLULAR AND DATA SERVICE WOULD BENEFIT STUDENTS WITH THEIR REMOTE LEARNING.

THIS WOULD SUPPORT THE ISD INITIATIVE OF PROVIDING LAPTOPS TO STUDENTS.

THE IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY AT THEIR HOMES WILL HELP MAXIMIZE THEIR E-LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND KIND OF ALLOWS FOR AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD FOR STUDENTS THAT DON'T HAVE OTHER MEANS OF INTERNET ACCESS AT HOME.

THE PROPOSED POLE CAPACITY, WE PROPOSE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOOT STEALTH MONOPOLE WITH INTERNALLY CONCEALED ANTENNAS SIMILAR TO THE DESIGN OF THE SBA TOWER THAT'S NEARBY, THE VERIZON ANTENNAS WILL BE AT CENTER LINES OF 145 AND 135, WHICH IS THE HEIGHT NECESSARY TO MEET THEIR COVERAGE AND CAPACITY OBJECTIVES.

THERE WILL BE SPACE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE CARRIERS AT CENTER LINES OF 125, 115 AND 105.

IF THOSE HEIGHTS WERE FORCED TO BE 50 FEET LOWER, THEY WOULD LIKELY NOT BE FEASIBLE FOR FUTURE CARRIER NEEDS.

SO WE SEE THIS AS ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR AN INCREASINGLY WIRELESS CONNECTED WORLD, NOT JUST FOR THE PROVIDERS.

WE'VE GOT LOTS OF DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE PROBABLY CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

SELF-DRIVING CARS.

THE INTERNET OF THINGS.

LOTS OF NEEDS FOR FUTURE CO-LOCATORS TO FILL BOTH THE SPACES ON THIS TOWER AND ANYTHING THAT SBA DOES AT ITS LOCATION.

HEMPHILL HAS WORKED COOPERATIVELY WITH PREVIOUS STAFF SINCE TWENTY EIGHTEEN TO REACH THIS PROPOSED LOCATION AND DESIGN.

INITIALLY, WE WERE LOOKING AT THE FRONT PARKING LOT AREA CLOSER TO WILSHIRE, BUT WE WERE STEERED KIND OF BACK TO THIS LOCATION, TUCKED IN THE CORNER BEHIND THE BUILDINGS TO HELP SCREEN FROM WILSHIRE.

STAFF ALSO INDICATED THEY WOULD LIKE TO CLUSTER THE USES TOGETHER.

SO THE REASON WE'RE NOT MEETING THE SEPARATION DISTANCE AND THE SETBACK TO THE REAR RESIDENTIAL IS BECAUSE THAT'S A LOCATION WE REACHED COLLABORATIVELY WORKING WITH STAFF AT THE TIME.

IN RESPONSE TO STAFF GUIDANCE AND DAC REVIEW, HEMPHILL ALSO CHANGED THE DESIGN FROM A STANDARD MONOPOLE WITH ANTENNA PLATFORMS TO THE STEALTH POLE, WITH THE CONCEALED ANTENNAS SIMILAR TO THE SBA POLE.

WE DID SUBMIT A DETAILED ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT IN THE RECORD.

BOTH HEMPHILL AND STAFF KNEW THAT RELOCATING THE POLE TO CLUSTER IT WITH THE EXISTING SBA SITE BEHIND THE EXISTING BURLESON SHOPPING PLAZA BUILDINGS WOULD REQUIRE SVB APPROVAL.

AS MR. MCLLWAIN NOTED, TO OVERRIDE THE THREE RESTRICTIONS THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION, THE RESIDENTIAL SETBACK TO THE CHURCH PROPERTY WHICH IS BEHIND THERE, IT'S ZONED RESIDENTIAL BUT OCCUPIED AS A CHURCH PROPERTY WITH PARKING AND OPEN SPACE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE TOWER SITE AND THEN THE SEPARATION DISTANCE FROM THE SBA TOWER.

STAFF AT THE TIME WHEN WE WERE WORKING WITH THEM FELT IT WAS WORTH IT TO INCREASE THE DISTANCE FROM WILSHIRE, HELP SCREEN THE SITE BEHIND EXISTING BUILDINGS AND CONCENTRATE IMPACT IN THE AREA WHERE IT WAS ALREADY PRESENT FROM THE EXISTING TOWER.

AND THIS IS JUST KIND OF A SNAPSHOT.

WE'VE GOT A DOLLAR TREE AND A DOLLAR GENERAL AND A HEMPHILL POLE AND AN SBA POLE.

THE SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON SHOWS THAT THERE'S NOT REALLY A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU PULL INTO THE PARKING LOT BETWEEN THE POLES, EVEN THOUGH THE HEIGHTS WILL BE

[02:35:01]

DIFFERENT.

THE SBA POLE HAS ALREADY TWO THIRDS OF THE HEIGHT THAT THE PROPOSED HEMPHILL POLE IS.

A CASUAL PASSER BY ON WILSHIRE WON'T NOTICE BECAUSE AS YOU'RE DRIVING ALONG WILSHIRE, IF YOU'VE DRIVEN PAST THE SITE, YOU KNOW THAT IN THE FOREGROUND THERE'S LOTS OF BILLBOARDS AND STORE SIGNS AND OVERHEAD UTILITIES, AND IT CAN BE HARD TO KIND OF PICK OUT THE POLE AS YOU'RE DRIVING ALONG UNLESS YOU PULL IN THE PARKING LOT AND LOOK FOR IT.

SO WE FEEL WHERE IT IS TUCKED BACK BEHIND THE STORE BUILDINGS WILL NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ESTHETIC IMPACT.

WHEN IT COMES TO HEIGHT, I'D LIKE TO SAY IF YOU APPROVE A POLE OF 125 OR EVEN 100, WE'LL STILL PROCEED BASED ON THAT DECISION, AND VERIZON WIRELESS AND OTHER FUTURE PROVIDERS WILL PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE THEY CAN AT THE HEIGHT AVAILABLE.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT BEST MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.

150 BEST MEETS THE NEED.

THE TALLER THE HEIGHT THAT YOU APPROVE, THE BETTER ABLE VERIZON IS TO MEET ITS COVERAGE AND CAPACITY OBJECTIVES AND THE MORE WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY IS AVAILABLE FOR THE FUTURE.

THE STEALTH DESIGN DOES LIMIT THE INTERNAL SPACE AVAILABLE BOTH FOR VERIZON, WHO NEEDS TWO CENTER LINES OF ONE FORTY FIVE AND ONE THIRTY FIVE AND FOR FUTURE PROVIDERS AS WELL.

SO WE ARE ASKING FOR THIS HEIGHT, BOTH FOR VERIZON'S CURRENT NEEDS AND TO ENSURE REMAINING SPACE FOR FUTURE PROVIDERS THAT WILL BE VIABLE FOR THEIR USE.

AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO A COUPLE HARD COPY ITEMS THAT I BELIEVE YOU RECEIVED THAT DID NOT MAKE IT INTO THE AGENDA PACKET.

THOSE WERE PROVIDED ON NOVEMBER 19, BUT FOR SOME REASON JUST DIDN'T MAKE IT.

THE FIRST IS A TEXT CAMPAIGN LETTER FROM VERIZON DATED NOVEMBER 3, 2021, THEY PERFORMED A TEXT SURVEY OF CUSTOMERS WHERE THEY TEXTED IT OUT.

THE MESSAGE IN THE LETTER.

THE MESSAGE READ.

HELP US IMPROVE WIRELESS VOICE AND DATA SERVICE IN YOUR AREA.

REPLY YES TO THIS MESSAGE TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR A NEW WIRELESS FACILITY IN THE BURLESON PLAZA AREA BEHIND HOBBY LOBBY.

YOU MAY ALSO ADD AN ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL MESSAGE DESCRIBING YOUR SUPPORT TO CITY OFFICIALS, AND THAT TEXT MESSAGE WAS SENT ON NOVEMBER 1 AND THEN CLOSED AS OF NOV.

AND AT THAT POINT, THERE WERE FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN AFFIRMATIVE TEXT MESSAGES INDICATING SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSED FACILITY AND EIGHT OPPOSITIONS.

SOME OF THE SAMPLES OF SOME OF THE STATEMENTS THAT WERE INCLUDED ARE IN THE BACK OF THAT LETTER, AND WE FEEL THAT THIS LETTER SHOWS GENERAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT, AS WELL AS THE LACK OF OPPOSITION SPECIFICALLY FROM AREA NEIGHBORS SHOWING IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT.

ANOTHER HARD COPY ITEM THAT YOU HOPEFULLY RECEIVED THAT DID NOT MAKE IT INTO THE AGENDA IS A LETTER FROM OUR ATTORNEY DATED NOVEMBER 19, 2021, FROM [INAUDIBLE] LAW FIRM.

AND THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THE ISSUE OF UNREASONABLE DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN PROVIDERS.

HERE ARE THE APPLICANT FOR THE EXISTING NEARBY TOWER.

SBA WAS AT&T.

AT THE TIME, AT THAT TOWER WAS CONSIDERED 11 YEARS AGO.

THEY PRESENTED WHAT THEIR NEEDS WERE AND THEIR NEEDS WERE MET AT THAT HUNDRED FOOT LEVEL AND THEY WERE GRANTED THAT SIZE OF TOWER.

THE REQUEST AT THAT TIME WAS NOT FOR A TALLER TOWER.

IN CONTRAST, OTHER PROVIDERS HAVE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES, DIFFERENT SYSTEM DESIGNS, DIFFERENT NEEDS.

SO FOR VERIZON, THEIR NEED IS 150, AND SO THAT'S WHAT THE PROPOSAL TODAY IS.

SO, AS INDICATED IN THE LETTER, THERE'S DIFFERENT NEEDS THAT ARE DEMONSTRATED, SO THERE'S NO UNREASONABLE DISCRIMINATION.

ARE ATTORNEY RESEARCHED THE VARIOUS CASES, AND IT INDICATES UNDER THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT, IT'S GENERALLY ESTABLISHED THAT WHERE A COMMISSION GRANTS A COMPETITOR'S APPLICATION AND DENIES THE PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION, WHICH IS SIMILARLY SITUATED, THAT'S UNREASONABLE DISCRIMINATION.

SO THE FOCUS IS GENERALLY ON UNREASONABLE DENIALS, NOT UNREASONABLE APPROVALS, AND THEY ALSO NEED TO SHOW SIMILAR SITUATION IN ORDER TO CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION.

THE DISCRIMINATION AMONG PROVIDERS MUST BE UNREASONABLE.

IT'S UNREASONABLE AS A MATTER OF LAW IF GOVERNMENT ACTION HAS NO LEGITIMATE BASIS IN THIS CASE.

AND AGAIN, I'D LIKE TO, AS AN ASIDE NOTE, TOO, THAT THIS TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT

[02:40:04]

APPLIES TO PROVIDERS, NOT INFRASTRUCTURE OWNERS.

SO NOT HEMPHILL, NOT SBA, BUT APPLIES TO PEOPLE LIKE VERIZON-- OR PROVIDERS LIKE VERIZON AND AT&T.

SO THEY'RE PROTECTING THE PROVIDERS FROM UNREASONABLE DISCRIMINATION.

HERE AGAIN, AT&T HAS WHAT IT NEEDS, HAS WHAT IT REQUESTED, AND VERIZON IS SIMPLY ASKING FOR WHAT IT NEEDS.

WHAT IT'S REQUESTING IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO FILL ITS OWN NEEDS AND THE CITY NEEDS TO MAKE THAT DECISION AND WHAT EACH PROVIDER SHOWS.

NOT JUST A BLANKET NEED TO JUST KEEP THINGS EQUAL.

FROM A HEIGHT STANDPOINT, THAT'S NOT A LEGITIMATE BASIS.

THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS PENDING APPLICATION AND THE PREVIOUS APPLICATION THAT WAS APPROVED 11 YEARS AGO.

THE NEEDS OF THE PRIMARY CARRIERS IN EACH APPLICATION ARE DIFFERENT.

THE TECHNOLOGY USED IS DIFFERENT, THE TARGETED WIRELESS SERVICES ARE DIFFERENT.

JUSTIFICATIONS FOR EACH APPLICATION ARE DIFFERENT.

SO THE TOWER HEIGHTS ARE ALSO REQUESTED THAT ARE DIFFERENT.

SO THE CITY WOULD HAVE MULTIPLE LEGITIMATE BASES FOR APPROVING THE REQUEST FOR ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOOT TOWER.

THE CONSULTANT LETTER ORIGINALLY, THERE WAS A LETTER BACK ON AUGUST 19, 2020 THAT HAD A NUMBER OF FLAWS AND CONCERNS WITH IT.

IT HAD PAGES SIX AND EIGHT-- MR. WYNGARDEN, CAN I INTERRUPT YOU FOR ONE MOMENT? SURE.

YOU'RE NOT.

NOBODY UP HERE IS HEARING THIS.

CAN YOU PLEASE WRAP YOUR COMMENTS UP SO THAT WE CAN MOVE AHEAD? WE'VE GOT SEVERAL ITEMS LEFT ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.

PLEASE, SIR.

I THINK YOU NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE COUNCIL'S HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO READ ALL OF THIS AND BEEN BRIEFED, AND YOU'RE REPEATING AT GREAT LENGTH THE THINGS THEY'RE JUST READING.

IF YOU'RE EXPERTS HAVE SOMETHING SUBSTANTIVE TO PRESENT, YOU'RE SIMPLY GOING THROUGH DOCUMENTS THEY'VE ALREADY READ.

OK, SIR.

OK, THEN I'LL WRAP IT UP WITH A CONCLUSION.

IN CONCLUSION, THIS TOWER IS LOCATED WHERE IT IS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE STAFF GUIDED US IN ORDER TO TUCK THIS BETWEEN EXISTING BUILDINGS AND CLUSTERS, SIMILAR USES TOGETHER.

THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT INJURE THE ADJACENT TOWER OWNER, SBA, IN ANY WAY.

YOU ARE NOT CONSTRAINED LEGALLY TO LIMIT TOWER HEIGHT TO 100 FEET.

VERIZON'S EXPERT IS THE ONLY EXPERT PRESENT TODAY AND WILL TESTIFY REGARDING THE NEED FOR ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET.

VERIZON IS NOT SBA'S TENANT.

VERIZON IS OUR TENANT.

AN SBA IS TRYING TO USE THIS PROCEEDING TO BLOCK US AND GET THIS TENANT FOR THEIR OWN SITE.

THIS WILL BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY RESIDENCES, BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS, OTHER FACILITIES AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY.

THIS IS NOT A LOCATION THAT'S OPPOSED BY THE COMMUNITY.

IF YOU APPROVE OUR REQUEST FOR ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOOT POLE, THE ONLY ONE HERE TONIGHT THAT WOULD BE UNHAPPY WITH THE DECISION WOULD BE OUR BUSINESS COMPETITOR, SBA.

SO WE ASK YOU IN THE INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY TO APPROVE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET SO THAT VERIZON CAN PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AT THIS POINT, I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO VERIZON RF ENGINEER BILAL ALTAF TO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET.

YOU CAN COME FORWARD.

YES, UNLESS YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION, DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION? HE HAS A PRESENTATION? I'LL GET IT.

[INAUDIBLE] OK.

YEP, HERE IT IS OVER HERE.

YOU CAN.

IF YOU COME HERE AND PUSH THE DOWN BUTTON TO GO THROUGH THE SLIDES DOWN HERE.

HI, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS BILAL ALTAF.

I'M A VERIZON RF ENGINEER.

I'M IN THE RF FIELD FOR ALMOST EIGHT YEARS AND I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH AT&T.

PREVIOUS T-MOBILE CARRIERS WORKING IN THE RF FIELD, DESIGNING CELL SITES TO SUPPORT 4G AND NOW 5G WITH VERIZON.

FOR THIS AREA, WE-- THE HUNDRED FEET IS NOT FEASIBLE TO SUPPORT OUR CUSTOMERS IN THE AREA.

WE HAVE A COMMERCIAL AREA AND THEN WE HAVE SCHOOL AND THEN NEARBY SHOPS

[02:45:02]

THAT WE CANNOT PROVIDE COVERAGE WITH HUNDRED FEET.

SO ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY IS THE PROPOSED, YOU KNOW, HEIGHT THAT WILL PROVIDE COVERAGE TO THE AREA.

YES, I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PREVENT YOU HAVING TO GIVE YOUR WHOLE PRESENTATION.

YES.

[INAUDIBLE] DOES VERIZON HAVE ANY OTHER POLES IN THE AREA? WE HAVE EXISTING, BUT IT'S NOT COVERING THE AREA THAT WE NEED.

WHERE IS IT LOCATED? IT'S ON THE EAST, ACTUALLY WEST SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THE CURRENT PROPOSED TOWER.

OF WHERE? OF THE CURRENT PROPOSED TOWER IS TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THAT.

IT'S ON THE SAME ONE? IS IT ON? IT'S NOT ON THE SBA POLE, THOUGH? NO.

AND HOW TALL IS IT? IT'S A WATER TANK.

PARDON ME.

IT'S A WATER TANK.

I THINK.

IT'S ON A WATER TOWER.

YES.

AND HOW TALL IS THAT WATER TOWER? IT'S AROUND I THINK A HUNDRED.

THREE HUNDRED FEET? OH NO A HUNDRED.

A HUNDRED FEET? YES.

AND YOU SAID IT'S-- WHERE IS THAT LOCATED? WHICH WATER-- FROM THE LOCATION THAT WE ARE PROPOSING.

IT'S TO THE SOUTHWEST AND NORTHWEST OF THAT LOCATION.

SO YOU GUYS-- CAN I CAN SHOW YOU.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE ANY COVERAGE IN THIS PART OF TOWN CURRENTLY.

WE DO HAVE COVERAGE, BUT IT'S NOT STRONG COVERAGE THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED WITH THE 150 TOWER THAT WE ARE PROPOSING.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT ON WHERE THE WATER TOWER IS? BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW OF WHERE ONE IS CLOSE TO THE ONE RIGHT BY MY HOUSE? THAT'S THE ONLY ONE I COULD THINK OF.

THAT'S UP ON A HILL.

SO THAT-- IT'S TURKEY PEAK.

PARDON ME, TURKEY PEAK.

OK, SO YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT CLOSE TO THIS LOCATION.

SO I'M STRUGGLING TO IDENTIFY THE FACT THAT YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE A MARKER IN THIS AREA TO CLARIFY THAT YOU WOULDN'T GET GOOD COVERAGE WITH A 100 FOOT POLE.

YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THERE.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE-- WE HAVE SITES THERE.

IF YOU CAN SEE THE SLIDE FIVE THAT I'M SHOWING RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN SEE THE PRIME INDOOR COVERAGE AT MINUS EIGHTY FIVE DBM, WHICH IS GREEN IN COLOR.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE OUTDOOR COVERAGE, WHICH IS MINUS 110 DBM.

IT IS DECENT COVERAGE, BUT NOT AS STRONG AS WE WANT IN THAT AREA, WHICH WE ARE PROPOSING ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET.

SO WE HAVE SITES THE GREEN COLOR THAT YOU GUYS CAN SEE ON THESE SLIDES.

THESE ARE THE CLOSE BY SITES THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE WITH THE EXISTING COVERAGE.

SO THE TOWER THAT WE ARE PROPOSING, IT'S IN THE AREA WHERE WE HAVE WEAK RF SIGNAL.

SO WITH THE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET TOWER THAT WE ARE PROPOSING, IT'S GOING TO IMPROVE THAT AREA, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY 174.

AND THE GREEN SIGNIFIES YOUR PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE ON YOUR SERVICE.

YES, YES.

THAT'S BECAUSE THAT'S OUR DATABASE.

WE HAVE A STANDARD ATOLL PROPAGATION MODEL THAT WE RUN AND THAT SHOWS THAT GREEN COLOR THAT'S THE EXISTING COVERAGE FROM THE NEIGHBORING SITES.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IT WHERE THERE'S THE LEAST AMOUNT OF GREEN AT THE HIGHEST POINT SO THAT YOU CAN EXTEND YOUR COVERAGE OUT REALLY FAR IS WHAT I'M GATHERING.

YES, YOU CAN SAY THAT.

YEP, OK.

SO BUT I TRY TO FOCUS ON THE AREA THAT WE'RE I'M PROPOSING THE CELL TOWER AND NOT FOCUSING ON THE NEIGHBORING SITES, THE NEIGHBORING SITES COVERAGE.

SO I FOCUSED ON THE AREA WHERE WE'RE HAVING WEAK COVERAGE.

SO YOU CAN-- CAN I GET BACK TO THE ROOT OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO TALK ABOUT HERE TONIGHT IS WE'VE GOT AN APPLICATION FOR 150 FOOT POLE.

WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING TO SAY THAT 100 FOOT POLE IS ENOUGH.

THE APPLICANT HIMSELF HAS SAID THAT IF WE APPROVE A 100 FOOT POLE, THAT THEY'LL BUILD A 100 FOOT POLE.

OK, I'VE BEEN TOLD TEN THOUSAND TIMES MORE THAN I NEEDED TO KNOW TO MAKE A REASONABLE AND RATIONAL DECISION ON THIS THING.

BUT IF I HAVE TO KEEP LISTENING TO THIS FOR ANOTHER HOUR, MY POLE HEIGHT IS GETTING SHORTER AND SHORTER AND SHORTER, JUST LIKE MY TEMPER.

SO IF WE CAN'T WRAP THIS UP, THEN I'D LIKE TO TABLE THIS FOR ANOTHER MEETING OR DO SOMETHING.

I DON'T WANT SIT HERE ALL NIGHT LONG AND ARGUE ABOUT THIS DAMN TOWER, SO I'M READY TO VOTE FOR THE ONE HUNDRED FOOT TOWER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING.

DO WE NEED TO GET A PUBLIC HEARING GOING? THIS IS THE SECOND SPEAKER.

I DO HAVE TWO MORE SPEAKER CARDS WHO HAVE ASKED TO SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WHY ARE WE NOT RUNNING A THREE MINUTE LIMIT ON THIS STUFF, WE'VE READ SPEAKERS] THESE ARE THE APPLICANTS, SO THE APPLICANTS ARE ALLOWED LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

THERE IS ONE SPEAKER WHO IS A NON APPLICANT WHO WILL BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES.

HOWEVER, HE HAS INDICATED THAT HE WOULD ASK THE MAYOR FOR LONGER TIME.

ALSO, I ALSO HAVE BINDERS TO PASS OUT FROM THE OPPOSITION.

YOU GIVE ME LIKE TWO MINUTES.

IF YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD ON THIS, THIS IS OUR CAPITAL PROJECT.

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR ALMOST ONE AND A HALF YEARS.

THERE HAVE BEEN CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS WHERE IT CAN BE CRITICAL ON THE HIGHWAY,

[02:50:03]

WHERE CARS ARE MOVING AND WE CAN HAVE A SIGNAL LOSS.

AND WITH THE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET TOWER, WE CAN IMPROVE THAT COVERAGE.

THERE HAVE BEEN CUSTOMER TICKETS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED FROM OUR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEAM WHO DRIVE THAT DATA AND WITH THE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TOWER, WE CAN IMPROVE THAT COVERAGE.

AND AS A VERIZON RF ENGINEER, WE TRY OUR BEST TO GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY NEED.

AND THERE ARE HIGH SCHOOL THERE.

THERE IS URGENT CARE THERE, CVS.

AND WITH THAT, ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET TOWER, WE CAN IMPROVE THE [INAUDIBLE] IN THE CAPACITY AND CAPACITY GROWS EVERY YEAR AND COVERAGE CHANGES DAY BY DAY.

SO I MEAN, WITH THAT 150, WE CAN REALLY IMPROVE THAT.

I UNDERSTAND.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THE NEXT SPEAKER CARD I HAVE IS FOR LUCAS CONDER.

LUCAS CONDER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I'M GOING TO BE SHORT AND SWEET.

HE'S DEVOTED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF OF HIS LIFE TO THE SITE.

I'VE DEVOTED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF OF MY LIFE TO THIS SITE.

I DO THE REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION WORK FOR VERIZON.

MARKET TO MARKET WHAT AT&T HAS IS DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES AND DIFFERENT PROPAGATION.

AT 100 FEET, IT SUITS THEIR NEED.

WHAT BILAL SAYS IS BASICALLY THE PROPAGATION MODEL.

HE DESIGNS THE NETWORK FOR THIS MARKET IN THIS AREA.

AND SO I TAKE HIS EXPERT OPINION THAT 150 IS WHAT WE NEED.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

THE TOWN HALL IS BEAUTIFUL.

IT LOOKS GOOD.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME [LAUGHTER].

AT THIS, AT THIS TIME, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER WHO IS NOT THE APPLICANT WHO HAS BINDERS THAT MONICA IS GOING TO PASS OUT HERE.

HE WILL BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES.

HOWEVER, HE HAS REQUESTED THAT THE MAYOR GIVE HIM MORE TIME TO SPEAK TO THIS.

IT'S AT THE MAYOR'S DISCRETION, WHETHER HE ALLOWS SOMEBODY TO SPEAK.

IF WE'RE LOOKING AT A BINDER.

WE CANNOT POSSIBLY CONSUME THIS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION RIGHT NOW.

SHOULD WE TABLE THIS? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THROUGH.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE BINDER.

THERE'S A PACKAGE IN HERE THAT I CAN LIMIT TO THREE TO FIVE MINUTES [INAUDIBLE] CORRECT.

THIS IS A NON APPLICANT, SO THEY ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES AND WE WILL-- [INAUDIBLE].

SIR.

THAT'S GOOD, SIR.

YOU GOT THREE MINUTES.

YES, SIR.

WE ALREADY HAVE THE TIMER GOING.

I CAN'T SEE IT.

MY NAME IS BEBB FRANCIS [INAUDIBLE] SAN ANTONIO.

I'M THE ATTORNEY FOR SBA, WHICH OWNS AND OPERATES FOR A QUARTER-- LITERALLY 11 YEARS HAS OWNED AND OPERATE THE TOWER THAT'S ONLY TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET TO THE EAST, I BELIEVE OF THE PROPOSED SITE.

RECOGNIZING YOUR TIME, REALLY THE QUESTION THAT WAS BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, BEFORE EACH NIGHT IN WHOSE BEST INTEREST IS THIS TOWER? AND I'D LIKE TO ADD TO THAT THE QUESTION OF WHY ARE WE HERE IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST PAGE IN YOUR HANDOUT? THIS IS A 40 PLUS MONTH APPLICATION PROCESS.

IT CAME INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY AFTER A 2017 AGREEMENT BETWEEN VERIZON AND AT&T TO HIRE TOWER COMPANIES LIKE HEMPHILL TO TARGET TOWNS LIKE BURLESON TO COME IN AND BUILD TOWERS AS CLOSE AS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO EXISTING TOWERS.

NOT, FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMPROVING COVERAGE, BUT SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF REMOVING ANTENNAS ONTO AN EXISTING-- ONTO THE NEW SITE, AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE NEXT HANDOUT.

THIS IS A LETTER FROM JONATHAN RAUCH, WITH SBA CONFIRMING THAT VERIZON HAS AN EXCELLENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH SBA.

THEY'RE ON OVER SIX THOUSAND OF SBA'S TOWERS, AND FOR THE LAST 40 MONTHS, ONLY TWO COMMUNICATIONS HAVE OCCURRED BETWEEN VERIZON AND SBA.

EVEN THOUGH THEY REGULARLY MEET ON ALL OF THEIR APPLICATIONS FOR MODIFYING TOWERS.

ONE.

WHEN WE HAD TO POINT OUT THAT THE APPLICATION THAT WAS FILED DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE CODE AND COME TO US AND LET US DISCUSS WITH VERIZON HOW TO MODIFY THE TOWER SO THAT THERE'S NOT A NEEDLESS PROLIFERATION OF TOWERS.

THE TO RECOGNIZE IN YOUR TIME FRAME IF YOU WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS VERY INTERESTING THE APRIL 12TH PRESS RELEASE THAT VERIZON ISSUED SAYING JUST EIGHT MONTHS AGO, WE

[02:55:06]

HAVE AN EXCELLENT WORKING RELATIONSHIP ON A NATIONAL LEVEL WITH SBA TO ADDRESS SPECIFICALLY THIS.

WORKING WITH SBA TO WORK THROUGH IDENTIFY WAYS TO MODIFY THIS TOWER AND OTHER TOWERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

HOWEVER, THAT'S EIGHT MONTHS AGO.

THEY STILL HAVE NOT CONTACTED SBA ONLY ABOUT THIS TOWER.

SO THE QUESTION HAS TO BE BACK BEFORE YOU.

WHY? WHY, WHEN WE LOOK AT-- THEY'VE ALREADY, AS WAS MENTIONED BY THE COUNCILMAN, THEY HAVE AGREED THAT, HEY, WE CAN GO AT ONE HUNDRED FEET.

AND THE STATEMENT THAT THE CONSULTANT REALLY MISSED IT ON THE RF, LET ME READ YOU A STATEMENT WHEN IN LIGHT OF THE VARYING CONFUSION AND CONFLICTING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY VERIZON.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE AND I'M SORRY TO BE RUSHING, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE HANDOUT THAT IS VERIZON'S LATEST RF MAPS CONFIRMED THAT VERIZON'S COVERAGE WILL ESSENTIALLY BE THE SAME WHETHER AT ONE HUNDRED FEET COUNCILWOMAN, YOU'RE FOCUSING ON THE GREEN AND YELLOW.

THIS IS AT A HUNDRED FOOT.

THIS IS VERIZON'S MAPS.

NOW LOOK AT MY HANDOUT.

THE NEXT PAGE.

WE'RE USING THEIR OWN MAPS AND THEIR SUBMITTAL IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME COVERAGE IF THEY WERE AT SIXTY FIVE FEET ON OUR TOWER, SIR.

MAYOR, IF YOU COULD-- HOLD ON, I HATE TO DO THIS, BUT IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME ON THIS ITEM? THE PUBLIC HEARING IS STILL OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? I'D LIKE TO BRIEFLY RESPOND, AND I WILL KEEP IT VERY, VERY BRIEF.

THE QUESTION ABOUT WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY.

I FEEL THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION FELT ITS HANDS WERE TIED AND THAT THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED BY FEDERAL LAW TO APPROVE ANYTHING MORE THAN 100 FEET.

I BELIEVE THAT'S WHY THE 100 FOOT APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION CAME TO YOU, NOT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT 100 FEET WAS THE BEST COVERAGE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND I HOPE THAT OUR ATTORNEY'S LETTER AND THE OTHER INFORMATION CLARIFIES FOR YOU THAT DEAL.

IS NOT A LIMITATION ON YOUR POSITION.

APPRECIATE IT.

MAYOR, IF YOU COULD CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, PLEASE AND STATE THE TIME.

I'M CLOSING THIS HEARING AT 9:56.

AND NOW IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION AND THEN YOU CAN CALL FOR A MOTION ON THIS ITEM.

MOVE TO APPROVE A 100 FOOT.

SECOND.

AND IN THE MOTION WOULD BE FOR THE MAXIMUM TOWER HEIGHT OF ONE HUNDRED FEET? COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION, SAY MAXIMUM.

MAXIMUM ONE HUNDRED FEET.

I HAVE A MOTION WITH DAN AND SECOND BY VICTORIA.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 6F.

[F. 1300 County Road 602 south of the intersection of County Road 602 and E. Renfro Street (Case 21-132): Hold a public hearing and consider a waiver to Section 5.8 "Private Streets" of the Subdivision and Development Ordinance for the design criteria for streets within the Taylor Bridge North Subdivision. (Staff Presenter: Michelle McCullough, Public Works Assistant Director - Development) (The Planning And Zoning Commission recommended approval by a unanimous vote)]

THIS IS ONE THREE ZERO ZERO COUNTY ROAD 602 SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF COUNTY ROAD, 602 AND EAST RENFRO STREET.

CASE TWENTY ONE DASH ONE THIRTY TWO.

THIS IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A WAIVER TO SECTION FIVE POINT EIGHT PRIVATE STREETS OF THE SUBDIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE FOR THE DESIGN CRITERIA FOR STREETS WITHIN THE TAYLOR BRIDGE NORTH SUBDIVISION.

THE STAFF PRESENTED TONIGHT IS MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, PUBLIC WORKS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF A DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, MS. MCCULLOUGH.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

THIS IS A WAIVER REQUEST TO THE CITY'S REQUIREMENT FOR DESIGN OF PRIVATE STREETS.

SO THIS IS TAYLOR BRIDGE NORTH.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 60 ACRES AND IT'S LOCATED AT THE SOUTH INTERSECTION OF COUNTY ROAD, 602 AND EAST RENFRO.

AND I BELIEVE I MENTIONED THAT IN THE LAST PRESENTATION.

THE APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER IS RICHARD VAN WEEZEL WITH AMERICAN SOUTHLAND LLC.

AND THE ITEM FOR APPROVAL OR FOR CONSIDERATION IS THE WAIVER TO SECTION FIVE POINT EIGHT PRIVATE STREETS OF THE SUBDIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE.

SO THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION IS LOCATED IN THE ETJ, AND THEY HAVE NO PLANS TO COME IN.

IT WILL STAY OUT IN THE ETJ.

THE FINAL PLAT WAS APPROVED MAY 11.

TWENTY TWENTY ONE.

THEY PROPOSED TWENTY SIX SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

THEY WILL BE A MINIMUM OF ONE ACRE.

IT IS PROPOSED TO BE A PRIVATE, GATED COMMUNITY.

WATER IS SERVED BY BETHESDA AND SEWER SERVICES ON SITE SEWAGE FACILITY.

SO SEPTIC SYSTEM THE HOA WILL MAINTAIN THE ROADWAY AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS.

[03:00:03]

PER THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH JOHNSON COUNTY.

BURLESON DOES HAVE A PLATTING AUTHORITY WITH THE ETJ WITHIN THE ETJ, AND THE CITY CAN EXTEND THE DEVELOPMENT DESIGN STANDARDS TO THE ETJ DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING PAVING STANDARDS.

SO OUR ORDINANCE TODAY REQUIRES PRIVATE STREETS TO BE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED PER PUBLIC ROADWAY STANDARDS.

CITY INSPECTORS INSPECT THE PRIVATE STREET PAVING AND ASSOCIATED DRAINAGE.

THE CITY DOES NOT MAINTAIN ROADWAYS LOCATED IN THE ETJ.

JOHNSON COUNTY ALSO DOES NOT MAINTAIN PRIVATE STREETS WITHIN A GATED COMMUNITY.

BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR LIMITED FUNDING AND AVAILABLE FOR MAINTENANCE OF ROADWAYS, THE CITY STREETS-- OR THE ETJ STREETS THAT ARE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO CITY STANDARDS.

IF THEY DO START TO DETERIORATE, THEY'RE OFTEN MORE EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN AND MAY BE PRIORITIZED BY THE COUNTY FOR LOWER, MAYBE PRIORITIZE LOWER FOR MAINTENANCE.

THE TABLE THAT I HAVE HERE JUST COMPARES THE CITY STANDARD AND THE COUNTY STANDARD AND TALKING WITH THE COUNTY, THEY WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE TWO INCHES OF ASPHALT OR THREE COARSE CHIP SEAL AS THEIR TOP COAT.

WE REQUIRE SEVEN INCHES OF ASPHALT, SIX INCHES-- OR SIX INCHES OF CONCRETE FOR THE BASICALLY THE TOP COAT.

WHAT WE'VE DONE IS MARCH 18 [INAUDIBLE] MODIFIED PAVING SECTION TO CITY COUNCIL.

AFTER RECEIVING SIMILAR REQUESTS FOR ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THE ETJ, THE CITY COUNCIL WAS AGREEABLE TO THE MODIFIED SECTION.

[COUGH] EXCUSE ME, THE CITY SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE TODAY DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR THE ABILITY FOR STAFF TO MODIFY THIS.

SO IT IS A WAIVER TO P&Z AND TO COUNCIL.

BUT ONE THING WE WILL BE DOING IS MOVING FORWARD THE FIRST QUARTER OF TWENTY TWENTY TWO LOOKING AT OUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND DESIGN STANDARDS.

THE LAST TIME THAT WAS UPDATED WAS 2008, SO IT IS TIME TO LOOK AT THAT AS WELL.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT IS A MODIFIED SECTION WITHIN THE ETJ, WHICH WILL BE BROUGHT TO YOU FOR CONSIDERATION.

WE HAVE PLANS TO MEET WITH THE COUNTY AND MEET WITH THE COMMISSIONERS AND KIND OF GO OVER WHAT WORKS FOR THEM, WHAT DOESN'T WORK FOR THEM, AND HOW WE CAN BE A BETTER NEIGHBOR WITH THEM.

SO YOU CAN SEE.

BUT OUR RECOMMENDATION IN THIS TABLE IS A TWO INCHES OF ASPHALT OR FIVE INCHES OF CONCRETE ON EIGHT INCHES LIME OR CEMENT STABILIZATION.

IF ASPHALT WERE TO BE USED, THEN WE RECOMMEND EIGHT INCHES OF FLEX SPACE AS WELL.

THAT ACTUALLY IS A BETTER SECTION THAN OUR SEVEN INCHES OF ASPHALT ON EIGHT INCHES OF LIME STABILIZATION.

THE REST OF IT AS FAR AS CULVERT REQUIREMENTS.

WHILE WE DO RECOMMEND A CONCRETE PIPE.

WE DO NOT ISSUE PERMITS OUT THERE FOR THAT.

WE CANNOT CONTROL THAT IT WILL BE STATED IN THE PLANS.

BUT IF THE COUNTY DOES NOT REQUIRE CONCRETE PIPES, YOU MIGHT END UP WITH YOUR STANDARD CORRUGATED METAL OUT THERE.

SO PUBLIC NOTICES WERE MAILED TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN TWO HUNDRED FEET OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND IT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER.

P AND Z DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL UNANIMOUSLY.

THE DISCUSSION WAS CONCERNING EXPRESSED REGARDING THE REMOVAL OF TREES ALONG THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE DESIRE TO RETAIN THOSE TREES TO SERVE AS A BUFFER FROM THE FUTURE RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES.

THIS CAME FROM A RESIDENT ACROSS THE STREET.

THE DEVELOPER DID GET UP AND ADDRESS THAT CONCERN, AND HE STATED THAT HE HAD EVERY INTENTION OF PRESERVING AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TRAFFIC ALONG COUNTY ROAD 602.

THIS IS ONLY TWENTY SIX PROPOSED LOTS, AND IT DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A TIA AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A RIGHT TURN LANE AND NO OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IT.

SO THE COUNCIL ACTUALLY REQUESTED US TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN APPROVE THE WAIVER.

GONNA OPEN THIS HEARING AT 10:03.

TAKE A LOOK.

READY? [INAUDIBLE] NO, SIR.

[LAUGHTER] CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING 10:03.

I DID NEED TO TELL YOU THAT I DID NOT.

I DID HAVE ONE SPEAKER, BUT I BELIEVE THAT HE'S LEFT THE ROOM, MR. SHERROD.

[LAUGHTER] I CLOSE-- ARE WE DON? .

SO AT THIS TIME, ALLOW PLEASE ALLOW ME TO LET THE MAYOR CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I'LL CLOSE THE HEARING AT 10:03 AND THEN ALLOW THE MAYOR TO ASK FOR A MOTION.

IS THERE A MOTION? I GOT A MOTION BY JIMMY AND A SECOND BY TAMARA, PLEASE VOTE .

THERE YOU GO.

SO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS 6G.

[03:05:06]

[G. 2380 SW Wilshire Blvd. located north of the intersection of SW Wilshire Blvd. and Wicker Hill Road (Case 21-120): Hold a public hearing and consider approval of an amendment to CSO#1698-03-2021, a Specific Use Permit (SUP), allowing for overnight boarding and an increase in capacity for Barking Mad Doggy Daycare & Boarding LLC. making this ordinance cumulative of prior ordinances; providing a severability clause; providing a penalty clause; and providing for an effective date. (First and Final Reading) (Staff Presenter: Tony Macilwain, Development Services Director) (Planning & Zoning Commission did not recommend approval or denial on this item as no motion was provided.)]

TWO THREE EIGHT ZERO SOUTHWEST WILSHIRE BOULEVARD, LOCATED NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD AND WICKER HILL ROAD.

IT'S CASE TWENTY ONE DASH ONE TWO ZERO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO CITY SECRETARY'S ORDINANCE 1698-03-2021.

AN SUP ORDINANCE ALLOWING FOR OVERNIGHT BOARDING AND AN INCREASE IN CAPACITY FOR BARKING MAD DOGGIE DAY CARE AND BOARDING LLC.

THIS IS FOR YOU ON FIRST AND FINAL READING.

THE STAFF PRESENTER IS TONY MCILWAIN, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, MR. MCILWAIN.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

COUNCIL IN INTEREST OF YOUR TIME.

I'LL GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION SUCCINCTLY.

SO WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT IS THE PROPERTY OWNER, THE APPLICANT, RATHER DESTANI MIZE.

SHE'S THE PROPRIETOR OF BARKING MAD.

SHE'S COMING BEFORE YOU TO REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO EXISTING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

THE PROPERTY IS ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USE, AND BACK IN MARCH, THE COUNCIL APPROVED AN SUP TO ALLOW FOR THE OPERATION OF A DOG DAYCARE.

IT WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING EIGHT CONDITIONS THAT THE ARROW POINTS TO, TO THE RIGHT OF YOUR SCREEN, AND I'LL GIVE YOU A MINUTE JUST TO LOOK THROUGH THOSE FOR THOSE THAT ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT.

I WANT TO NOTE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT DID DO AN INSPECTION, REVEALED THAT DOGS WERE BEING KEPT OVERNIGHT ON THE SITE, WHICH IS IN VIOLATION OF CONDITION NUMBER EIGHT.

MS. MIZE IS HERE TO TRY TO RECTIFY THAT WITH YOU ALL.

MS. MIZE IS LOOKING TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF DOGS ON SITE FROM 12 TO 30 AND TO ALLOW FOR OVERNIGHT BOARDING.

SHE STATED THAT THIS IS A GROWING BUSINESS AND CURRENTLY UNDER THE CONDITIONS SHE'S UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE NEW CLIENTS DUE TO THE CAPACITY LIMITATIONS OF THE EXISTING CUP-- SUP.

FORGIVE ME.

THIS IS JUST THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION ON THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SITE ADJACENT TO MRS. MIZE'S OPERATION OF TWO COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS, AUTO SUPPLY AND AC SERVICE WITH VACANT COMMERCIAL DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET AND AG ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CORNER.

THIS IS A SITE PLAN THAT SHOWS THE SEVEN SPACES THAT WERE A DIRECT CONDITION.

SHE HAS STRIPED THOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUP.

AND THE STAFF HAS MET IT'S PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS SUP.

WE'VE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTERS OF OPPOSITION REGARDING THE REQUEST.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO YOU, COUNCIL FOR SUPPORT OF THE SUP TO ALLOW FOR THE INCREASE IN CAPACITY AND THE OVERNIGHT BOARDING FOR BARKING MAD DOGGIE DAYCARE AND BOARDING LLC.

THE P AND Z MADE NO MOTION ON THE ITEM AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS BASED ON THAT POSTURE.

IT CONSTITUTES A RECOMMENDATION FOR DENIAL.

THE P&Z DID HAVE LENGTHY DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

THE BOARDING OVERNIGHT, THE INCREASING CAPACITY AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE WITH MS., MIZE PRESENT FOR THAT MEETING.

TONIGHT, YOU MAY OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING, CLOSE IT AND THEN CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE SUP WITH THOSE CONDITIONS STIPULATED OR ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS YOU THINK ARE NECESSARY.

WITH THAT, MR. MAYOR, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE INFORMATION.

WHAT YOU HAVE ARE JUST SOME PICTURES THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT TOOK.

THE SITE IS RELATIVELY CLEAN.

BASED ON OUR INSPECTION AND I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

MAYOR, IF YOU COULD OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND STATE THE TIME.

I OPEN THE HEARING AT 10:08.

DID-- WE DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER, WHICH IS THE APPLICANT, DESTANI MIZE? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I PROMISED TO MAKE THIS SHORT AND SWEET.

AS FAR AS WHERE IT SAYS A NOTICE OF VIOLATION, THE ONLY VIOLATION THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE CITY WAS IN REGARDS TO MY WEBSITE STATING THAT I STILL OFFERED BOARDING.

I CONTACTED THE WEBMASTER HAD THAT REMOVED.

I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ELSE, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT VIOLATION IS ABOUT BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION.

SO MY NAME IS DESTANI MIZE.

I'M THE OWNER OF BARKING MAD DOGGIE DAY CARE AND BOARDING LLC.

[03:10:03]

I'M ASKING FOR AN INCREASE IN CAPACITY AND ALSO TO BE ABLE TO HOUSE DOGS OVERNIGHT.

I CURRENTLY IN THE ONLY FACILITY IN BURLESON THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED FOR THIS.

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS SINCE RELOCATING TO THE CITY LIMITS IN MARCH, BEING A SMALL, FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS.

WE WOULD REALLY BENEFIT FROM THIS APPROVAL, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE NEW HOUSING ADDITIONS THAT ARE COMING UP.

I RECEIVED NEW CLIENT INQUIRIES DAILY AND SEE AT LEAST TWO NEW DOGS PER DAY, AND I JUST SIMPLY CANNOT ACCOMMODATE THEM ALL WITHOUT THIS APPROVAL.

I SEVERELY UNDERESTIMATED THE GROWTH THAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH RELOCATING, THAT'S TO PUT IT LIGHTLY.[LAUGHTER] MY BUSINESS IS DEPENDING ON THIS.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SUPPORT LETTERS, I DO PROVIDE A GREAT SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY AND ITS CITIZENS.

I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE FUTURE CLIENTELE TO A PLACE DOWN THE STREET THAT HAS RECEIVED THIS SAME BLESSING FROM THE COUNCIL.

I LOVE THE CITY OF BURLESON, AND I'M PROUD TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I REMEMBER WHEN YOU CAME UP AND PRESENTED TO US THE FIRST TIME AND MY QUESTION WAS TO, YOU KNOW, ARE YOUR DOG'S GOING TO BARK AND THE WAY YOU CARED ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBORS AND EVERYTHING REALLY IMPRESSED ME.

SO I'M HOPING THIS WORKS OUT FOR YOU.

I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

YES, MA'AM.

SO IS THERE A PARTICULAR AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE PER DOG THAT YOU'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE BASED ON ANY REGULATIONS? NO, MA'AM.

TEXAS DOESN'T HAVE ANY KIND OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT.

AND IN FACT, THEY ACTUALLY DON'T EVEN HAVE REQUIREMENTS FOR SO MANY HANDLERS PER DOG.

I'VE IMPLEMENTED ONE MYSELF.

I DO ONE HANDLER PER 10 DOGS, BUT TEXAS DOESN'T HAVE ANY REQUIREMENTS LIKE THAT, AND IS OVERNIGHT STAYS THAT THERE'S NO HUMAN ON ON SITE FOR THAT, IS THAT CORRECT? NO, MA'AM.

SO IT'S MUCH LIKE IF YOU USE ANOTHER BOARDING FACILITY OR IF YOUR PET STAYS OVERNIGHT AT A VET'S OFFICE, UNLESS IT'S AN ACTUAL ER, THERE'S NO STAFF OVERNIGHT.

AND IF THERE IS EXCESSIVE BARKING OVERNIGHT, HOW DO YOU KNOW I HAVE CAMERAS AND THEY ARE THEY HAVE SOUND AND MOVEMENT ALERTS THAT GO OFF.

OK, VERY GOOD.

MS. MIZE ABOUT HOW MANY? HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU THINK YOU CAN KEEP AT YOUR FACILITY? AND I KNOW YOU PUT DOWN 30, BUT THAT NUMBER IS HIGHER, CORRECT? NO, IN THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY, 30 IS OUR MAX.

AT MY PREVIOUS FACILITY, IT WAS MUCH BIGGER.

WE SAW 50 REGULARLY AT THE BIGGER FACILITY.

THIS ONE 30 IS GOING TO BE THE MAX FOR IT.

SO YOU GUYS WON'T SEE ME AGAIN.

I'M SORRY, I WAS WANTING TO MAKE SURE APPARENTLY YOUR BUSINESS IS DOING WELL, SO I DON'T WANT YOU TO SET THE BAR TOO LOW AGAIN.

YES, SIR, I APPRECIATE IT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? READ TO CLOSE? I HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKERS AT THIS TIME.

YOU MAY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WE WILL CLOSE THIS HEARING AT 10:12.

IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS? IF COUNCIL WOULD VERBALIZE THEIR MOTION, DOES IT SAY WHETHER IT'S AN APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF THE ITEM BEFORE YOU THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT ARE WATCHING? SO IF YOU JUST VERBALIZE YOUR MOTION, PLEASE.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I HAVE A MOTION BY VICTORIA, AND A SECOND BY JIMMY, TO APPROVE.

THAT'LL MOVE US ON TO SECTION SEVEN, GENERAL.

[A. Hold a public hearing and consider approval of an ordinance closing, vacating, abandoning, and conveying a portion of Mrs. M.A. Clark's Addition Public Right-of-Way known as N. Baker Street in Lots 2R1 and 2R2, Block 40, and Lot 2R, Block 72 Mrs. M.A. Clark's Addition, according to the plat recorded in Volume 153, Page 702, Deed Records, Johnson County, Texas, and authorizing the City Manager to execute deeds without warranty. (Staff Presenter: Michelle McCullough, Assistant Director of Public Works)]

7A HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE CLOSING, VACATING, ABANDONING AND CONVEYING A PORTION OF MRS. M.A.

CLARK'S ADDITION.

PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, KNOWN AS NORTH BAKER STREET IN LOTS 2R1 AND 2R2 BLOCK 40 AND LOT 2R BLOCK 72.

MRS. M.A.

CLARK'S ADDITION, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT RECORDED IN VOLUMES 153 PAGE, 702 DEED RECORDS JOHNSON COUNTY, TEXAS, AND AUTHORIZED THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE DEEDS WITHOUT WARRANTY.

STAFF PRESENTERS MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS OVER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, MS. MCCULLOUGH.

MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DEVELOPMENT.

GOOD EVENING.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THIS QUICK FOR YOU GUYS AGAIN.

OK, SO THIS IS INVOLVING IMPROVEMENTS AT CLARK PARK, AND I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE THAT THE NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT IS IN AND IRRIGATION-- OR LANDSCAPING AND WHAT'S MISSING IS IRRIGATION.

SO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT DID CONTACT US AND WANTED TO FIGURE OUT HOW CAN WE GET WATER TO THIS SITE? AND THE EASIEST WAY THAT WE COULD COME UP WITH AND LEAST COST INTENSIVE WOULD BE COMING DOWN NORTH SCOTT AND ACROSS PRIVATE PROPERTY AND TO GO AHEAD AND GET AN EASEMENT FROM THAT.

SO, AND LIKE I SAID, WE LOOKED AT EXTENDING THE WATER LINE FROM EAST TABB ST.

AS WELL WITHIN BAKER STREET.

THAT WAS OUR FIRST STAB AT IT.

IT DID-- IT STILL REQUIRED AN EASEMENT FROM A PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER.

[03:15:04]

SO WHEN WE DID CONTACT THEM TO TALK ABOUT IT, THEY DID ASK US TO CONSIDER THE OTHER ROUTE, OFF OF NORTH SCOTT STREET.

AND THEN WE DID CONTACT.

THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO PROPERTY OWNERS INVOLVED, THREE DIFFERENT ENTITIES, BUT TWO PROPERTY OWNERS.

WE DID CONTACT THE ONE AT THE CORNER OF TABB STREET AND NORTH SCOTT STREET.

THEY WERE ALSO INTERESTED IN ACQUIRING HALF OF THE ABANDONED RIGHT OF WAY BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO ABANDON RIGHT OF WAY, HALF REVERTS BACK TO EITHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY OWNER.

AND THAT'S IT.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS-- I'LL GO BACK TO THE PICTURE SO I CAN, IT WAS REALLY SHORT AND SWEET.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO-- WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS ABANDONING THIS RIGHT OF WAY.

THIS WILL GO AHEAD AND LEND TO FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA.

PUBLIC WORKS IS GOING TO COME IN AND INSTALL A PUBLIC WATER LINE ALONG IN THE BLUE AREA.

CLARKE PARK IS RIGHT HERE.

THIS WILL GO AHEAD AND SET IT UP FOR IRRIGATION TO BE CONNECTED AND FOR THE LANDSCAPE TO GO AHEAD AND BE WATERED.

I MEAN, RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE OK WITH THE TIME OF YEAR THAT WE'RE IN, BUT COME OUR TEXAS SUMMER, THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THE WATER.

SHORT AND SWEET, WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

WAIT? OH, SORRY, YOU HAVE A QUESTION.

SORRY, [INAUDIBLE] I'M SORRY.

I KNOW, AND I'M SORRY.

WE'LL JUST IF YOU'LL JUST ALLOW US.

WE NEED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND STATE THE TIME OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I OPENED THE HEARING AT 10:16.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I HAVE NO SPEAKERS AT THIS TIME.

I HAVE NO SPEAKER CARDS.

ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? THERE ARE NO SPEAKERS.

MAYOR, IF YOU COULD PLEASE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND STATE AT THE TIME.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

I APOLOGIZE TO MY COUNTERPARTS HERE.

IS THIS A PART OF THE ORIGINAL BUDGET? UH, TOMMY, I'M NOT.

IS THIS PART OF THE ORIGINAL BUDGET? I'M NOT, I'M ONLY GETTING WATER TO THEM.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT.

IS THIS PART OF THE ORIGINAL BUDGET? DID WE FORGET ABOUT THE WATER ON THAT PARK? I WANT TO SAY YES, BUT I NEED TO CONFIRM.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT, THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THIS.

HOWEVER, IT CONCERNS ME IF IT'S NOT BECAUSE THAT WAS WE'VE ALREADY GONE OVER THE BUDGET OF WHAT WE THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO DO FOR THIS PARK.

WE NOW NEED A PARKING LOT, WHICH WE JUST TOOK OFF THE TABLE.

AND MY CONCERN WITH THIS IS TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THIS AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH ALL THE OTHER PARKS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS-- WE CAN-- I FEEL LIKE WE'RE MISSING PIECES SOMETIMES, AND IT CONFUSES ME.

SO IT DOESN'T FALL ON YOU ON THIS.

I KNOW THAT WE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT CONFUSES ME THAT WE'RE HAVING TO COME BACK UP.

I THOUGHT WHEN WE DID THIS PARK, WE DID THE PARK WE DID BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT IRRIGATION.

YES, MA'AM, I'M ALMOST CERTAIN, BUT I DO WANT TO CONFIRM WITH SPEAKERS].

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU BAD INFORMATION.

OK, I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE NOW COLLABORATING WITH DEPARTMENTS OR BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS.

SO THEY'RE SENDING PLANS TO US TO TAKE A LOOK JUST TO HAVE ANOTHER SET OF EYES ON THEM.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MAYOR IF YOU COULD CLOSE IT? THANK YOU.

I'LL CLOSE THE HEARING AT 10:17.

IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS? MOTION TO APPROVE.

I GOT A MOTION BY VICTORIA AND A SECOND BY RICK.

THAT MOVES US ON TO 7B CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC

PASSES UNANIMOUS.

[B. Consider approval of a Chapter 380 Economic Development and Performance Agreement between the City of Burleson, Burleson 4A Economic Development Corporation, Burleson Community Service Development Corporation 4B, and AC Burleson, LLC, for a corporate headquarters and family entertainment center located at 1258 SW Alsbury Blvd. (Staff Presenter: Alex Philips, Economic Development Director)]

DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BURLESON BURLESON 4A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORP., BURLESON COMMUNITY SERVICE DEVELOPMENT CORP.

4B AND AC BURLESON LLC FOR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER, LOCATED AT ONE TWO FIVE EIGHT SOUTHWEST WILSHIRE BOULEVARD.

THE STAFF PRESENTER TONIGHT AS ALEX PHILIPS, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, MR. PHILIPS ONE MORE TIME.

THANK YOU, MR. CAMPOS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL HERE FOR AC BURLESON LLC 380 INTO ALLEY CATS.

IT'S FAMILY OWNED SINCE NINETEEN SIXTY FOUR.

THEY'VE OWNED PUTT PUTT GOLF AND GAMES IN AND AROUND THE METROPLEX.

CURRENTLY HAVE TWO LOCATIONS IN THE METROPLEX, ONE IN HURST AND ONE IN ARLINGTON.

OFFERINGS INCLUDE BOWLING, LASER TAG, ARCADE, PUTT PUTT, BATTING CAGES, GO KARTS AND MORE BIRTHDAY ROOMS AND RESTAURANT MEETING SPACE AS WELL.

THE SITE HERE AT 1258 SOUTHWEST WILSHIRE THERE WOULD BE OR-- ALSBURY SORRY, 1258

[03:20:01]

SOUTHWEST ALSBURY AT THE CORNER OF JOHN JONES AND ALSBURY BOULEVARD.

IT IS A CORPORATE OFFICE RELOCATION.

APPROXIMATELY EIGHT POINT FORTY TWO ACRES.

LOCATION WILL BE AT LEAST FIFTY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET IN ADDITION TO OUTSIDE ATTRACTIONS.

THIS HAS BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REQUEST FROM OUR CITIZENS FOR THE LAST DECADE.

THIS PROJECT WILL OPEN UP MORE DOORS FOR THAT.

JOHN JONES AND ALSBURY CORRIDOR AND ON OUT TO CHISHOLM TRAIL AS WELL.

ALLEY CAT OBLIGATIONS COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY BY END OF JUNE NEXT YEAR.

COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION NO LATER THAN JULY OF NEXT YEAR.

COMPLETE THE DEVELOPMENT NO LATER THAN AUGUST 1ST OF TWENTY TWENTY THREE WITH A CAPITAL INVESTMENT OF NO LESS THAN $10 MILLION.

PROSPECT AGREES TO RELOCATE THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS TO BURLESON, AND THAT WILL ALSO HAVE A SEPARATE ENTRANCE INTO THE FACILITY.

THE BURLESON LOCATION WILL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ATTRACTIONS ARCADE, LASER TAG, BOWLING, GO KARTS, BATTING CAGES, MINI GOLF, MEETING ROOM AND BIRTHDAY PARTY ROOMS. SO THE CITY OF BURLESON OBLIGATIONS BE A-- THE FULL TWO PERCENT OF THE SALES TAX REBATE, 100 PERCENT CAPPED AT SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND, OR FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS.

WE'LL MAKE THOSE IN ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS AFTER ALLEY CATS OPENS UP.

CASH GRANT FROM THE 4B THAT WAS APPROVED EARLIER TONIGHT.

SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND TO BE DISBURSED [INAUDIBLE] PERFORMANCE MEASURES ONCE THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE IS COMPLETED AND ACCEPTED, THE MEETING ROOM WITH THE SEATED CAPACITY OF ONE HUNDRED IS COMPLETE AND ONCE THEY GET THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY 4A APPROVAL TONIGHT, OF THE SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND ADDITIONAL CASH GRANTS, CLOSING OF THE PROPERTY IS COMPLETE.

THE ISSUANCE OF THE BUILDING PERMIT, COMPLETION OF THE SEPARATE ENTRANCE TO THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND ALSO THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

HERE'S JUST KIND OF A SNAPSHOT OF THE ALLEY CATS, THE INCENTIVE PACKAGE BEING JUST AROUND $2 MILLION.

THE TEN YEAR RETURN ON INVESTMENT BEING 15 PERCENT TO THE CITY, IT JUMPS TO EIGHTY SIX PERCENT IN 15 YEARS AND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE PERCENT IN 20 YEARS.

THIS IS JUST A CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT JUST TO SEE, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING FITS ON THE SPACE.

WE STILL HAVE THE [INAUDIBLE] DISCUSSION TO GET INTO TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS THAT WE SAW OVER THE WEEKEND ABOUT NOISE AND LIGHTING AND THAT SORT OF THING.

SO WE'LL WORK WITH ALLEY CAT OWNERSHIP AND STAFF TO MITIGATE THAT AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE HERE TO APPROVE THE 380 AGREEMENT, MODIFY IT OR DENY THE AGREEMENT.

AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THERE IS NO PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS, AND I HAVE NO SPEAKER CARDS.

I MOVE TO APPROVE.

OH, I'M SORRY.

HOLD ON.

SORRY, DO YOU HAVE A SPEAKER FROM THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? PARDON ME.

IF YOU'LL COME FORWARD, PLEASE.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE YOU FILL OUT OF SPEAKER CARD.

MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE], I LIVE AT ONE THREE ZERO ONE LAUREN DRIVE IN THE WAKEFIELD DEVELOPMENT DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE FACILITY IN QUESTION.

THAT PART OF TOWN CLOSES DOWN AT, YOU KNOW, 10 O'CLOCK.

THE ONLY THING THAT'S LEFT OPEN AFTER THAT IS WALMART FOR AN HOUR.

AND THEN THE 7-ELEVEN.

ALLEY CATS HAS TWO LOCATIONS ONE IN HURST, WHICH IS, I BELIEVE, PRETTY CLOSE TO THE FREEWAY AND ONE IN ARLINGTON, RIGHT OFF THE FREEWAY.

THE LOCATION THAT'S PROPOSED IS BACK AMONG ALL THOSE HOMES.

LIKE I SAID, REAL QUIET.

THE OTHER TWO LOCATIONS HAVE BARS THAT ARE UP UNTIL TWO A.M.

ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAY NIGHTS.

THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF OTHER PROBLEMS THAT COME ALONG WITH BARS AND NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE TRAFFIC-- ALREADY IS BUSY AT RUSH HOUR ON THE WEEKEND SATURDAY, EVERYBODY GOING DOWN BETWEEN CROWLEY TO HOME DEPOT AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

I THINK THE IDEA, THE CONCEPT OF THE FACILITY IS GREAT.

I JUST THINK IT'S A BAD LOCATION.

JUST THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF INCREASED TRAFFIC NOISE, THE LIGHTS, THEY SAY THE LIGHTS, NORMALLY WALMART ARE STILL THERE, BUT AGAIN EVERYBODY'S GONE AND GONE HOME AND EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN AFTER 10, 11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.

THAT'S THE WAY PEOPLE LIKE IT OVER THERE.

ALL THE OTHER COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES ARE COMMUNITY FRIENDLY, YOU KNOW, DOCTORS' OFFICES, OPTOMETRISTS, SMALLER BUSINESSES THAT AGAIN CLOSED SHOP AND DON'T STAY OPEN TOO LATE.

I REMEMBER WHEN I'VE TALKED TO, I JUST FOUND OUT, LIKE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, THIS WAS EVEN A THING.

AND THE PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO WHO LIVE IN THE AREA DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS HAPPENING.

SO AS FAR AS THAT GOES, IT'S KIND OF A SURPRISE TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE, IF NOT A LOT OF THE PEOPLE.

I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE IN THAT GENERAL AREA.

OK, I DO HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER CARD, DAVID STANFORD.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALEX.

US TEENAGERS HAVEN'T REALLY HAD A LOT TO DO IN BURLESON, AND THIS WILL BE A GREAT

[03:25:07]

THING FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GO DO YOU WITH OUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, HANG OUT.

GREAT LOCATION, I THINK.

I JUST THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT TIME FOR ALL OF US FAMILIES TO GO HANG OUT, GREAT EVENTS, FOR CHURCHES TO GO DO.

THANK YOU AGAIN, ALEX.

APPRECIATE IT.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS IN THE AUDIENCE? LIKE TO SPEAK? OK.

I DID ACTUALLY WANT TO SAY SOMETHING BEFORE I MOVE TO APPROVE.

[LAUGHTER] I FORGOT.

I WANTED TO.

NUMBER ONE SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCLENDON SAID IT IN OUR 4A MEETING.

I ALSO WANTED TO JUST NOTE, FOR THE RECORD, THEY'RE NOT HERE.

I KNOW THEY SOME MAY HEAR THIS, BUT JUST THAT BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE HAVING A LOT OF TEEN ACTIVITY THAT I THINK I WOULD LIKE ALLEY CATS TO BE REALLY ON TOP OF THEIR SECURITY FOR THIS.

THEY ARE AT THEIR OTHER LOCATIONS.

THEY PLAN ON BEING THAT HERE.

YEAH, BECAUSE I MEAN, THINGS GET ROWDY AND IN-- AT THE BRICK.

SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WE'VE HAD THESE ISSUES WITH TEENS AND TEENS JUST CAN BE TEENS.

AND SO I THINK IT'D BE GREAT THAT THEY HAVE GOOD SECURITY AND THEY BE ON TOP OF THAT.

CAN I? YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE THING REAL QUICK.

YES, MA'AM.

SO THEN I WILL.

AGAIN, I TOLD YOU, ARI, I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT ALL OF YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE DONE.

THE FACT THAT THIS IS A CORPORATE MOVE TO ME IS WHAT HELPS SEAL THE DEAL.

IT MEANS THAT WE'LL HAVE THE OWNERSHIP RIGHT HERE IN OUR BACKYARD INSTEAD OF US TRYING TO FIND AN ABSENTEE OWNER WHO'S OUT OF STATE OR OUT OF COUNTRY TO HOLD OUR FEET TO THE FIRE SHOULD SOMETHING GO WRONG.

WE WON'T HAVE THAT.

WE'LL HAVE THEM RIGHT HERE.

SO I THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I'M EXCITED NOT ONLY FOR THE TEEN ACTIVITIES AND STUFF, BUT I'M ALSO EXCITED THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ACTUAL 100 PERSON MEETING ROOM ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN.

SO THAT'S A HUGE PLUS.

AND JUST AGAIN, THANK YOU.

TO THE WAKEFIELD NEIGHBORS UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE OUR WONDERFUL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT WORKED REALLY HARD WITH ALLEY CATS TO GET THEM HERE OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD, AND THAT'S ABOUT WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE FOR THEM AS FAR AS INCENTIVES? ULTIMATELY, THE COMPANY CHOOSES THEIR LOCATION.

WE HAVE NO-- BECAUSE WE DIDN'T OWN THAT PROPERTY.

SO I WANT TO KIND OF REMIND ALL THE CITIZENS.

I'VE HAD THIS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CAR WASHES IN PARTICULAR.

WE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER WHERE A BUSINESS GOES.

WE REALLY HAVE VERY LITTLE INFLUENCE ON IT, QUITE FRANKLY, AS MUCH AS INFLUENTIAL AS ALEX PHILIPS IS IN BURLESON.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH POWER AND EVEN TO DRIVE THEM TO OTHER AREAS AS FAR AS NOT KNOWING ABOUT IT.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT NEEDED TO KIND OF BE WORKED ON BEHIND THE SCENES UNTIL THINGS GOT SOLIDIFIED BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CURVES IN THIS DEAL AND THEM ACTUALLY TRYING TO FIND A PROPERTY AND WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.

SO JUST KNOW, WE UNDERSTAND WE FEEL FOR YOU AND JUST, YOU KNOW, BEAR WITH US.

I WASN'T CRAZY WHEN KOHL'S AND ALL OF THAT CAME IN AND TOOK AWAY MY WONDERFUL SUNFLOWER FIELDS.

I GOT TO DRIVE THROUGH.

NOW I'M INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL THAT I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE TO FORT WORTH TO SHOP SO.

[INAUDIBLE] LET'S GET A MOTION.

ANYBODY HAVE A MOTION.

THE AGREEMENT WOULD BE FOR AN INITIAL TERM OF 20 YEARS WITH AN AUTOMATIC EXTENSION FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10 YEARS.

CITY WOULD REIMBURSE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH UP TO SIX THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR [INAUDIBLE] OF THE PARKING LOT EVERY THREE YEARS OVER A 30 YEAR PERIOD.

THAT TOTAL SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND CITY WOULD REIMBURSE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH UP TO FORTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR RESURFACING OF THE PARKING LOT EVERY 15 YEARS.

THAT WOULD START IN YEAR ONE, YEAR 15 AND THEN YEAR 30.

CITY WOULD HAVE A WEEKLY SERVICE FOR TRASH PICKUP IN THE PARKING LOTS PRIOR TO SUNDAY MORNING CHURCH JUST TO KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO LEFTOVER TRASH FROM THE WEEKEND PATRONS.

CITY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO PLACE A SIGN ON EACH OF THE PARKING LOTS AT A MUTUALLY AGREED UPON SITE TO NOTIFY OF PUBLIC PARKING AND CITY ORDINANCES.

THE SIGNS WILL DISPLAY TIMES THAT PARKING IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS FOLLOWS MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, EIGHT A.M.

TO 10 P.M., THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, EIGHT A.M.

TO MIDNIGHT AND SUNDAY FROM ONE P.M.

TO 10 P.M.

THIS WOULD BE A SHARED USE AGREEMENT WITH THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH WOULD ALLOW PUBLIC PARKING ON THEIR PROPERTY DURING OFF PEAK TIMES OF THE CHURCH.

THIS WOULD UNLOCK APPROXIMATELY FIVE HUNDRED NEW PUBLIC PARKING SPOTS IN OLD TOWN TO BE UTILIZED WITH NEW SIDEWALKS, LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING ON ELLISON STREET TO JOHNSON AVENUE.

IT WILL MAKE THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE SAFE AND INVITING.

THIS WILL HELP THE DEVELOPMENT-- THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING IN ON ELLISON STREET NOW AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OVER ON THAT SIDE OF ELLISON.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AT THIS TIME, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 7E CONSIDER

[E. Consider approval of a resolution casting votes for the election of members to the Tarrant County Central Appraisal District Board of Directors. (Staff Presenter: Tommy Ludwig, Deputy City Manager) ]

APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION CASTING VOTES FOR THE ELECTION OF MEMBERS TO THE TARRANT COUNTY CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

STAFF PRESENTER TONIGHT IS TOMMY LUDWIG, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, MS. CAMPOS.

THIS IS ABOUT 50 SLIDES.

I'M KIDDING.

[LAUGHTER] I'LL GO THROUGH VERY, VERY QUICKLY.

SO ITEM NUMBER 7E IS AN ITEM ASSOCIATED WITH CASTING VOTES FOR ELECTION AND THE TARRANT COUNTY CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

SO JUST SOME GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MAKEUP OF THE BOARD.

IT CONSISTS OF FIVE MEMBERS.

THEY ARE ELECTED BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES WITHIN THE COUNTY.

THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD ARE SIMPLY TO HIRE THE CHIEF APPRAISER TO ADOPT THE ANNUAL BUDGET, AND I DO WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THEY DON'T PLAY A ROLE IN THE ACTUAL APPRAISAL OF PROPERTIES.

THE TERMS ARE TWO YEAR TERMS. THEY COINCIDE WITH THE CALENDAR YEAR, SO THE CURRENT TERMS ARE SET TO EXPIRE ON DECEMBER 31ST OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE, AND THE NEW TERMS WOULD BE RUNNING FROM JANUARY 1ST OF TWENTY TWO THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST OF TWENTY THREE.

SO EACH TAXING AUTHORITY IS ASSIGNED A DESIGNATED NUMBER OF VOTES FOR THE ELECTION

[03:35:07]

AND THE NUMBER OF VOTES IS BASED ON THEIR SHARE OF THE TAX LEVY WITHIN THE COUNTY.

SO FOR THE CITY OF BURLESON, WE'VE BEEN ALLOCATED FIVE VOTES OUT OF A TOTAL OF FIVE THOUSAND FIVE TOTAL VOTES.

SO IN ORDER TO BASICALLY BE ELECTED, THE TOP FIVE INDIVIDUALS THAT RECEIVED THE MOST VOTES, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ELECTED TO THE BOARD AND THEN VOTES NEED TO BE SUBMITTED BY DECEMBER 15TH.

SO BACKGROUND, THERE WAS AN ITEM ON NOVEMBER 8TH COUNCIL AGENDA ON THE CONSENT AGENDA TO CAST THE CITY'S VOTES FOR MR. MIKE LEYMAN.

SO ALL FIVE OF THOSE VOTES, HISTORICALLY THE COUNCIL HAD VOTED FOR MR. LEYMAN IN THE PAST.

HOWEVER, DURING CITIZEN APPEARANCES OF THE AGENDA, THERE WERE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT DID REQUEST THAT THE COUNCIL REMOVE THE ITEM AND CONSIDER INDIVIDUALLY.

MR. DANIEL BENNETT RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNCIL CAST ITS VOTES FOR EITHER MR. ROCKIE GILLEY AND OR MR. GARY LOSADA.

AND THEN MR. GILLEY ALSO APPEARED AND REQUESTED THAT THE COUNCIL CONSIDER CASTING VOTES FOR HIMSELF IN THE ELECTION.

AT THAT TIME, CITY COUNCIL DID REQUEST THAT STAFF PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE INDIVIDUAL NOMINEES AND THEIR QUALIFICATIONS, AND THEY VOTED TO TABLE THE ITEM UNTIL THIS EVENING.

STAFF DID PROVIDE THOSE BIOGRAPHIES ON DECEMBER 1ST VIA EMAIL, AND I WOULD NOTE THAT ON NOVEMBER 17TH, MR. GILLEY DID SEND AN EMAIL TO STAFF INDICATING THAT HE WAS WITHDRAWING HIS NAME FROM THE NOMINATION AND ELECTION PROCESS.

SO REALLY, BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS.

ONE IS TO ALLOCATE THE VOTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COUNCIL'S WISHES AMONG THE NOMINEES IN A WAY YOU SEE FIT BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATE'S QUALIFICATIONS, OR YOU MAY ELECT TO NOT TAKE ANY ACTION AND NOT VOTE.

WITH THAT SAID, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW ANY OF THESE GUYS? WELL, I DO HAVE SPEAKERS, TOO.

SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO CALL THE SPEAKERS FORWARD? I DO KNOW TWO OF THEM, CHRIS.

I KNOW ONE VERY WELL.

IS THAT GOOD OR BAD? GOOD.

[LAUGHTER] I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION FOR HIM.

WELL, BUT MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE DO HAVE TWO SPEAKER CARDS THAT WERE FILLED OUT.

SO IF WE COULD CALL FOR THE SPEAKER'S FIRST DANIEL BENNETT.

YES, MR. GILLEY DID WITHDRAWAL BECAUSE HE HAS NO PATH TO VICTORY.

DANIEL BENNETT.

SO DOES MIKE LEYMAN.

HE WITHDREW BECAUSE HE HAS NO PATH TO VICTORY.

I RAN IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN.

I WENT BEFORE 40 DIFFERENT TAXING ENTITIES BECAUSE I THINK THE SMALLER ENTITIES DO NOT GET THE REPRESENTATION THEY NEED.

WELL, I DIDN'T WIN IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN, SO I WENT OUT AND FOUND A CANDIDATE, MR. GARY LOSADA, WHO SHARES THE SAME CONCERNS I DO WHEN IT COMES TO REPRESENTING THE SMALL ENTITIES.

AND HE DECIDED TO RUN.

WHAT WAS MOST IMPRESSIVE WAS THAT HE SPENT SIX YEARS AT ARB PANEL CHAIR AND HEARD THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PROTESTS FROM YOUR CITIZENS, NOT NECESSARILY BURLESON.

YOU HAVE SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT IN TARRANT COUNTY.

WELL, HE ALSO.

TOOK TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SENATE PANEL ON TAX REFORM IN 2016.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE'S EVER SEEN HIM TESTIFY.

IT WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE.

HE SPENT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE SENATORS FIELDING QUESTIONS AND I'M REALLY, TRULY SORRY HE'S NOT HERE TONIGHT.

HE WAS AT THREE DIFFERENT MEETINGS AND I TOLD HIM, I GOT THIS.

WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE 11 O'CLOCK.

[LAUGHTER] NO WE OWE HIM, REALLY.

WHEN I FIRST WALKED INTO ONE OF THESE BOARD MEETINGS, THERE WAS NOT A FLAG ANYWHERE.

THERE'S NOT AN [INAUDIBLE] THERE WAS NOTHING.

I USED TO SHOW UP TO THESE MEETINGS LATE.

I'VE BEEN GOING SINCE TWENTY SIXTEEN AND EVEN [INAUDIBLE], SAID MR. BENNETT, YOU'RE LATE.

I SAID, NO, I'M NOT.

THEY'RE NOT HONORING OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS AND THEY'RE NOT SAYING [INAUDIBLE].

I DON'T WANT TO JUSTIFY THAT.

WELL, THAT CHANGED THE MINUTE MR. LOSADA GOT ON THAT BOARD.

THERE WAS A PRAYER AND THERE WAS INVOCATION AND THERE WAS HONORING OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS AND OUR HEROES.

WELL, I COULD GO DOWN A LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT HAS CHANGED, BUT IT'S LATE.

I ASK THAT YOU DO.

PLEASE CONSIDER MR. LOSADA AND TO YOUR POINT, YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR BALLOT IN BY 11:59 ON THE 14TH.

HALTOM CITY'S NOMINATIONS WERE REJECTED BY MR. [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE THEY TURNED THEIR NOMINATIONS IN ON THE 15TH OF OCTOBER.

PLEASE DON'T HAVE YOUR BALLOT REJECTED ON THE 15TH OF DECEMBER.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

YEAH, I DID HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER CARD, I'M NOT SURE IF HE'S IN THE AUDIENCE.

THOSE ARE ALL THE SPEAKER CARDS THAT I HAVE AT THIS TIME.

[03:40:08]

IS THERE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ANYBODY WANTS TO BRING UP? EARLIER STAFF, YOU PUT MIKE LEYMAN ON AS YOUR RECOMMENDATION ON THE PREVIOUS [INAUDIBLE]? YES, SIR.

SO HISTORICALLY IN THE PREVIOUS ELECTION, I BELIEVE THE COUNCIL HAD CAST THEIR VOTES FOR MR. LEYMAN.

SO WHEN-- NOBODY KNOWS WHY, WE JUST DID.

CORRECT.

I CAN'T SPEAK TO IT BECAUSE THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, I WASN'T HERE AT THE TIME.

AND LOOKING BACK, HISTORICALLY, THERE WASN'T JUSTIFICATION AS TO WHY THAT WAS.

WELL, I WAS HERE AND I DON'T RECALL ANY JUSTIFICATION BEING GIVEN FOR IT.

SO I DON'T THINK THAT-- LEYMAN HAD BEEN ON BOARD IN SOME TIME IN THE PAST.

AND HE'S A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER IN MANSFIELD.

SO I THINK THE SENSE WAS HE AT LEAST HAD CITY INTERESTS AT HEART AND HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SERVED ON THE BOARD THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT HE HAS ANY UNUSUAL COMPETENCE IN THIS AREA.

WELL, BUT THAT ARGUMENT CAN BE I MEAN, THERE WERE FOUR APPLICANTS, I THINK, THAT WERE FORMER COUNCIL MEMBERS [INAUDIBLE] THE ROCKIE GILLY WAS A FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER IN [INAUDIBLE].

I MEAN, LIKE DAN SAYS, WHO KNOWS WHY? I MEAN, I DON'T-- YOU SAID YOU KNEW, TWO? I KNOW CATHERINE WILDMAN AND I KNOW RICH [INAUDIBLE], SO ANY OF THOSE WOULD BEEN AN ACCEPTABLE CANDIDATE FOR ME.

I DON'T KNOW MR. LOSADA, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO HOLD ANY-- I READ THROUGH ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE WERE PROVIDED.

A NUMBER OF THEM HAD RESUMES.

THEY WERE IMPRESSIVE GIVE BACK OR HAD ROLES IN MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT IN SOME FORM OR FASHION.

BUT I KNOW [INAUDIBLE], I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH HIM ON A NUMBER OF PROJECTS OVER TIME AND HE WAS GOING TO BE MY RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE I KNOW HIM, BUT HE TOO.

AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING APPLICATIONS.

I MEAN, THAT'S THE GOOD THING IS THERE WERE PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXPERIENCE, BUT SIMILAR TO MIKE'S ARGUMENT OF HE HAD MUNICIPAL AT HEART [INAUDIBLE].

I'M FAMILIAR WITH HIM KIND OF ALWAYS LISTENING TO EVERY COMMUNITY DESPITE THE SIZE, AND HE WAS A GREAT ADVOCATE FOR THE DISTRICT THAT HE REPRESENTED IN FORT WORTH.

[INAUDIBLE], JORDAN? I KNEW [INAUDIBLE] JORDAN'S FATHER.

YEAH, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I KNOW HIM.

YEAH, HIS DAD WAS AN INSPECTOR FOR THE CITY OF FORT WORTH WHEN I CAME TO WORK IN 1976.

SO YEAH, I KNOW.

IT'S UP TO YOU.

IT'S UP TO YOU MAYOR.

WELL MAKE IT SHORT.

WE ONLY HAVE FIVE VOTES, SO OUT OF THE FIVE THOUSAND AND FIVE, SO WE COULD ALWAYS THROW IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

SO WE COULD GO WITH MR. GARY LOSADA.

HE'S GOT SOMEONE HERE FIGHTING FOR HIM YEAH, YEAH.

I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT THAT WAY.

CAN I MAKE A MOTION TO GO WITH GARY LOSADA? SURE, SURE.

[INAUDIBLE] IF YOU'LL MAKE THE MOTION ELECTRONICALLY.

SECOND ONLINE? OK, HERE WE GO.

I NEED A SECOND.

[INAUDIBLE] I HAVE A MOTION MADE BY TAMARA AND A SECOND BY JIMMY FOR MR. LOSADA, PLEASE VOTE.

A MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU, MR. BENNETT.

THANKS FOR TAKING THE EFFORT TO COME.

OBVIOUSLY, IT SWAYED THE DAY.

SO GOOD FOR YOU.

YOU FOUGHT AWFUL HARD BY THE WAY, SO IT MATTERS.
