NO DISCUSSION OR ACTION MAY BE TAKING PLACE AT THIS MEETING ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THIS AGENDA OTHER THAN TO MAKE STATEMENTS OF SPECIFIC FACTUAL INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO A CITIZEN'S INQUIRY OR TO RECITE EXISTING POLICY IN RESPONSE TO THE INQUIRY.
DOES STAFF HAVE ANY SPEAKER CARDS TO BE READ.
OKAY, I WILL NOW CLOSE ITEM THREE AND MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
[Consent Items]
CONSENT ITEMS. DOES ANY COMMISSIONER WISH TO PULL AN ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA? NO. IS THERE A MOTION FOR CONSENT ON ITEMS 5 THROUGH 16? I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER OGAN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WENZEL.[Items for Individual Consideration ]
CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON THE PITTS ADDITION BLOCK A LOTS ONE AND TWO FINAL PLAT APPLICANT GREGORY C AND JUDY K PITTS, MRS. TITTLE, SORRY.SO THE FINAL PLAT BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS TO PLAT ONE PARCEL INTO TWO SEPARATE PARCELS.
THE REASON IT'S BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING AS AN INDIVIDUAL CONSENT OR INDIVIDUAL ITEM IS BECAUSE OUR ORDINANCE READS THAT A CUL DE SAC CAN ONLY BE A MAXIMUM OF 600 FEET.
THE APPLICANT IS LOCATED IN THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION, AND SO WITH THESE LARGER LOTS, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO DIVIDE UP THE PROPERTIES AND STILL MAINTAIN A LOT OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.
THANK YOU. THE RIGHT OF WAY LENGTHS.
ALSO, WHEN THEY'RE LOCATED IN THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION, THEY MUST HAVE ONE USABLE, BUILDABLE ACRE OF LAND, WHICH IS THE REASON WHY THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO EXTEND THAT 600 FOOT MAXIMUM LENGTH TO 785 FEET.
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. COMMISSIONERS, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? IS THERE A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 17? I'LL MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
I SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL FOR MYSELF AND A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER
[00:05:04]
MARTIN. ALL IN FAVOR? COMMISSIONER MARTIN? YES.COMMISSIONER OGAN? YES. COMMISSIONER HERRMANN? YES. COMMISSIONER CLEMENS? YES. COMMISSIONER WENZEL? YES. AND MYSELF.
ON TO NUMBER 18, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A METERING STATION ON ONE LOT POINT SIX PLUS ACRE LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FUTURE ROSAMOND PARKWAY 995 PLUS FEET WEST OF COUNTY ROAD 368 APPLICANT IS MM ANNA 325 LLC, MRS. MECKE. THIS ITEM WAS TABLED AT LAST MONTH'S MEETING.
THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A GAS METERING STATION.
AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO PRESENT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
DO ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:06.
DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS JOHN TEDESCO WITH KIMLEY-HORN ASSOCIATES, 260 EAST DAVIS STREET, SUITE 100 MCKINNEY, TEXAS 75069.
I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF ATMOS ENERGY.
WE'VE PREPARED A BRIEF, BUT I BELIEVE, A EXPANSIVE PRESENTATION THAT ANSWERS SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS THAT WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME, IF YOU RECALL. SOME OF THE BIG TICKET ITEMS THAT WE NEEDED TO REVIEW.
THANK YOU. THE ORANGE OUTLINE IS THE PROPOSED EIGHT FOOT TALL MASONRY WALL THAT WILL MATCH THE SAME FAÇADE THAT HURRICANE CREEK TO THE NEIGHBORING DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST AND SOUTH AND [INAUDIBLE] WILL BE PROPOSING.
I BELIEVE THAT WITH THE LOCATION WAS ONE OF THE TOPICS THAT WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME.
WITH RESPECT TO THE HURRICANE CREEK SUBDIVISION IN THE SUBDIVISION TO THE NORTH.
AS YOU CAN SEE, ONE OF THE MASONRY SCREEN WALLS ABUTTING ONE OF THE EXISTING AND LIVING HOUSES THAT IS RIGHT NEXT TO A MEETING STATION OFF OF WILLOW WOOD SUBDIVISION AND TELEPHONE ROAD AND HIGHWAY FIVE IN MCKINNEY.
EXCUSE ME. VERSUS 167 BY 100, 107 BY 104.
SO A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT GEOMETRY.
BUT TO GIVE SOME BETTER FEEDBACK AND TO UNDERSTAND THE FOOTPRINT.
167 BY 100, 107 AND 104 TO THIS SQUARE.
SOME OF THE IMAGES OF THE EXISTING METERING STATION OVER THERE IN THE [INAUDIBLE] SUBDIVISION.
JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT WOULD BE LOOKING AT HERE AT THE HURRICANE CREEK SUBDIVISION.
SOUND. THAT WAS ONE OF THE OTHER QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED LAST TIME.
SO FOR EXAMPLES, SOME DECIBEL SOUND CHART.
SO I'M NOT ONE TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS.
[00:10:02]
AND THEN MP3S AT 100%.WE DID TAKE SOME READINGS OUT THERE AT THE PROPOSED SITE LOCATION, GENERAL VICINITY.
TRAFFIC, THE EXISTING CONSTRUCTION OVER THERE AND THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH.
I SHOULD PROBABLY TALK ABOUT THIS.
AS YOU CAN SEE, [INAUDIBLE] 60 DECIBELS AT THE METERING STATION ITSELF, THE WHITE PERTINENCE AREA 32 AT THE THE PLANNED VIEW SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE HOUSE, 48 ON THE NORTHERN WALL, 40 I BELIEVE ON THE SOUTHERN WALL.
SMELL. AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS ONE OF THE LAST THINGS THAT WE DISCUSSED.
FOR ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE NEED TO REVIEW.
AGAIN, I'M NO EXPERT ON THIS MATTER.
I MEAN, I GOT GAS THIS MORNING.
I DRIPPED A COUPLE DROPS OF DIESEL IN THE GROUND.
I MEAN, IT HAPPENS HERE AND THERE.
BUT FOR FOR REFERENCE, THAT PROVIDES THAT IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR SMELL.
SORRY. UM, THAT WAS ALL I HAD PREPARED FOR THE SLIDES.
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. DO ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NOT SO MUCH TECHNICAL, BUT WHY THIS LOCATION? THERE'S A HUGE LANDMASS OF EMPTY SPACE IN ANNA, WHY THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION AROUND THESE HOUSES? YEAH, THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION.
THE ATMOS TEAM MAY WANT TO CHIME IN A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT MAKES THE MOST SENSE WITH THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST, THE FUTURE PARKWAY ROAD THAT WOULD BE THERE. SO.
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JOHN FOR ANY OTHER DETAILS.
JOHN MANGANIELLO, MANAGER, PUBLIC AFFAIRS FOR ATMOS ENERGY.
THIS SITE IS FIRST OFF, THIS INFRASTRUCTURE'S CRITICAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
THIS IS GOING TO SERVE THE GROWING COMMUNITY.
THE GAS NEEDS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND THIS LOCATION IS OPTIMAL LOCATION.
IT'S ON TOP OF THE EXISTING PIPELINE EASEMENT.
SO THIS STATION IS PULLING GAS OFF THAT MAJOR TRANSMISSION PIPELINE.
THAT'S THE ACTUAL HIGH PRESSURE TRANSMISSION LINE.
SO HALF THIS EASEMENT SITS ON TOP OF AN EXISTING EASEMENT.
HOW FAR TO THE WEST DOES THIS RUN? I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION IN FRONT OF ME.
BUT IT'S A TRANSMISSION ASSET.
IT PROBABLY GOES QUITE A WAYS TO THE WEST.
DO YOU HAVE A [INAUDIBLE] SYSTEM THAT HAS.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD BRING UP? I MEAN, YOU CAN KIND OF TYPICALLY YOU CAN SEE THE PIPELINE SCARRING ON THE GROUND TO SEE WHERE THE EASEMENTS RUN.
WHERE IS THE NEXT NEAREST EASEMENT? WHAT'S THAT? THE NEXT NEAREST EASEMENT IF YOU WEREN'T TO PUT IT HERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THE NEXT NEAREST EASEMENT? HOW FAR WOULD IT BE AWAY FROM WHERE THE [INAUDIBLE] THE PROPOSED LOCATION NOW.
GUESS I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING THE QUESTION.
IF YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO PUT IT HERE, IF WE WEREN'T ABLE TO PUT IT HERE, WE'D HAVE TO GO BACK TO OUR SYSTEM PLANNING ORGANIZATION AND SEE WHERE ELSE THEY COULD FEASIBLY PUT THE STATION.
HOW MUCH VOLUME WOULD GO THROUGH THIS METER.
I THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE AS THE GROWTH FOR THE COMMUNITY.
[00:15:04]
THAT'S RIGHT NOW, THAT STATION WILL BE SERVING THE HURRICANE CREEK DEVELOPMENT AS IT DEVELOPS.BUT THERE'S A LOT, AS Y'ALL ARE PROBABLY FULLY AWARE, THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT COMING UP HERE.
SO THAT STATION WILL BE THE SECONDARY FEED TO THE CITY OF SORRY, CITY OF ANNA.
IS THIS A TRANSFER STATION OR IS THIS JUST A METERING STATION? IT'S PULLING GAS OFF THE HIGH PRESSURE TRANSMISSION LINE, WHICH IS OUR WE HAVE EIGHT DIVISIONS AND ATMOS ENERGY.
ONE OF THEM IS A PIPELINE BUSINESS, ATMOS PIPELINE, TEXAS.
THAT'S WHO OWNS THAT HIGH PRESSURE TRANSMISSION ASSET.
IT'S MEASURING THE GAS AS IT COMES OFF AND IT GOES INTO OUR MID TEX, OUR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.
SO IT'S A IT'S A MEASURING STATION OR YOU MAY HEAR IT CALLED A CITY GATE.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER STATIONS NEAR HERE OR IN ANNA? THIS IS A THIS WILL BE A SECOND STATION.
AND THIS IS KIND OF AN EXAMPLE OF YOUR WATER SYSTEM.
SO THIS WILL HELP WITH, YOU KNOW, SUPPLY AT CRITICAL TIMES.
WILL THERE BE ANY OTHER CHEMICALS KEPT IN THIS AREA? SUCH AS? ANYTHING.
WE DON'T TYPICALLY STORE CHEMICALS THAT WE DON'T REALLY USE CHEMICALS.
THE ONLY STORAGE WILL BE THE MERCAPTAN THAT'S PUT IN THE GAS TO GIVE IT THE ODOR DEODORIZER.
I'VE GOT A QUESTION. SO DOES THE SUBDIVISION GETTING GAS SERVICE? IS THAT DOES THAT RELY ON HAVING THIS STATION HERE? WE WILL BE SERVING THE HURRICANE CREEK SUBDIVISION FROM THAT STATION.
BUT THAT STATION IS DESIGNED TO SERVE ALL THE NEEDS AS ANNA GROWS.
I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHERE THE FIRST STATION IS IN ANNA.
WE CAN GET YOU THAT INFORMATION.
I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT OUR GIS SYSTEM.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THIS APPLICANT? [INAUDIBLE] OKAY, WE HAVE SEVERAL SPEAKERS.
THANK YOU. SPEAKERS WILL HAVE 3 MINUTES TO PRESENT THEIR COMMENTS.
PLEASE CLEARLY STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
I'M TOM LONGMIRE. I LIVE AT 3032 CROSSING DRIVE.
IT WILL BE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE THIS PROPOSED STATION IS.
MY GRANDCHILDREN WILL OWN A LOT THAT ACTUALLY IS CATTLE CORNER TO THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION.
I WOULD ASK THE GENTLEMAN IF THE MERCAPTAN IS THE ONLY CHEMICAL YOU PLAN TO HAVE THERE, WILL YOU NOT HAVE ETHYLENE GLYCOL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR ANTIFREEZE? AM I ALLOWED TO ADDRESS THEM? AM I ALLOWED TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS OR I CAN ASK YOU.
YOUR SPEAKER NEEDS YOU NEED TO TALK TO US.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THEN, IF THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHEMICAL.
TYPICALLY, THESE STATIONS WILL HAVE ANTIFREEZE AS WELL, ETHYLENE GLYCOL.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH MERCAPTAN AS A CHEMICAL OR ETHYLENE GLYCOL.
MERCAPTAN IS AN IRRITANT TO THE NOSE AND THROAT.
IT CAN CAUSE SEVERE SHORTNESS OF BREATH, PULMONARY EDEMA.
IT MAKES PEOPLE SICK WITH A LITTLE BIT OF ACCESS TO IT.
IT SMELLS HORRIBLE AND YOU CAN SMELL IT FOR A GREAT DISTANCE.
ETHYLENE GLYCOL IS ANTIFREEZE.
AND I THINK WE PROBABLY ALL KNOW WHAT ANTIFREEZE DOES TO PEOPLE AND ANIMALS.
AND WE REALLY DON'T WANT THIS NEXT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS EASEMENT FOR THIS LINE GOES FOR MILES.
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT NEEDS TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSES.
AND I STRONGLY OPPOSE ITS LOCATION AND RECOMMEND YOU CONSIDER ANOTHER LOCATION.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER CHEMICAL THERE.
NEXT SPEAKER IS DEBORAH ESPINOZA.
[00:20:08]
DEBORAH'S HUSBAND.SHE ALLOWED ME TO COME UP HERE.
RICHARD ESPINOSA 3106 CROSSING DRIVE.
AND THE ANSWER TO THE CHEMICAL QUESTION, YEAH, THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN ONE CHEMICAL THERE.
AND WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT THAT INVOLVES.
HOW'D YOU LIKE TO HAVE THAT IN YOUR BACKYARD OR FRONT YARD? AND I SEE SEVERAL OF MY NEIGHBORS HERE.
THE THING THAT CONCERNS ME AND I MEAN, I'M GREAT THAT IT'S IDEAL FOR THEM.
IT CERTAINLY IS NOT IDEAL FOR US.
SO, YES, I'M COMPLETELY AGAINST IT.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I WORK AT DFW AIRPORT.
AND I DRIVE 49 49.1 MILES TO GET AWAY FROM IT.
AND YOU WERE THE NEXT SPEAKER.
SO THAT TOOK CARE OF THAT ONE.
THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MIKE ARCHER.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MIKE ARCHER.
MY PROPERTY IS 3119 CROSSING DRIVE.
AND THE INFORMATION THAT I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU IS SOURCED FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PIPELINE AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. AND IF I NEED TO GET YOU SOMETHING TO PUT THAT INTO THE RECORD I CAN DO THAT LATER.
AND SPECIFICALLY, WHAT I'M LOOKING AT IS GAS DISTRIBUTION, SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT CAUSE.
SO IF THERE'S AN INCIDENT OR AN ACCIDENT, WHAT CAUSES THAT? AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STATISTICS OR THE INFORMATION, THERE'S EIGHT CATEGORIES.
AND SUCH AS EQUIPMENT FAILURE.
AND. THE THE POINT THAT I WANT TO MAKE IS THAT WHEN YOU ADD A FACILITY LIKE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THERE'S GOING TO BE THIS EQUIPMENT, THERE'S GOING TO BE OPERATIONS AND BECAUSE THAT FACILITIES, LOCATION, THE INCIDENTS ARE LIKELIHOOD OR CHANCE OF AN INCIDENT INCREASES.
SO THAT THAT CAUSES US TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY AND MAKES US WANT TO LOOK FOR A LOCATION WHERE THERE'D BE LESS OCCUPANTS, LESS CITIZENS OF ANNA, TEXAS.
SO THAT'S ONE REASON WHY WE PREFER A DIFFERENT LOCATION ALONG THE EASEMENT.
BUT THE MAIN THING THAT I'D LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH IS I MENTIONED THERE'S EIGHT CATEGORIES AND THERE'S ONE THAT IS CALLED OTHER OUTSIDE FORCE DAMAGE. AND WHEN YOU WHEN YOU DRILL DOWN ON THAT, WHAT IT IS, IS A VEHICLE THAT'S NOT ENGAGED IN EXCAVATION CRASHING INTO SUCH A FACILITY.
AND IT'S THE SECOND LARGEST CAUSE FOR ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS.
SO THERE AGAIN, ANOTHER REASON WHY WE SHOULD LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER IS SUSAN EASAW.
I'M SUSAN EASAW, I LIVE AT 3040 CROSSING DRIVE.
I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS GAS RIGHT BEHIND MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
I DON'T WANT TO RISK ANYONE HAVING ANY RESPIRATORY ISSUES.
[00:25:01]
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THINK ABOUT YOUR CITIZENS.THERE ARE MANY OTHER PLACES IN ANNA THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF ALL OUR CITIZENS, ESPECIALLY OUR CHILDREN AND OUR ELDERLY. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER IS BEN ESAU.
HI. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME.
SHE'S IN THE HEALTH FIELD. SHE CLEARLY UNDERSTANDS SOME OF THE EFFECTS THAT ENDS UP TAKING PLACE.
AND COMMISSIONER WENZEL, YOU HAD A GREAT QUESTION IN TERMS OF WHERE ELSE CAN THIS BE KIND OF POSITIONED? AND AS THE OTHERS HAVE ALSO SPOKEN, THIS PIPELINE GOES MILES, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE, YOU KNOW, OF THIS FACILITY IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE'S NO PARTICULAR REASON OTHER THAN THE CONVENIENCE OF WHAT ATMOS IS LOOKING FOR WITHOUT ANY CAUSE OR WITHOUT ANY DUE PERSPECTIVES IN TERMS OF HOW THE EFFECT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, TO OUR PEOPLE, TO OUR CHILDREN.
BUT YOU'VE GOT THE WHOLE VILLAGES OF THE [INAUDIBLE] CREEK THAT'S ALSO COMING UP HOUSES, THAT'S COMING UP TO THE LEFT SIDE OF WHERE YOU SEE THE FACILITIES IS WHERE THERE'S NOBODY HERE TO SPEAK FOR THEM AT THIS POINT BECAUSE THERE'S NO HOUSES THERE YET.
SO WE DO ASK THE FACT THAT YOU DO UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT WE'RE VERY STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THIS.
WE'VE GOT OSHA RELATED TYPE OF ARTICLES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE JUST HAPPENED IN JANUARY OF 2021 WHERE NOT EVEN IN TERMS OF AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE, BUT REALLY IN TERMS OF CLEANING, WHICH HAPPENS TO HAVE TO TAKE PLACE EVERY FEW YEARS OR SO, THAT HAS TO HAPPEN.
SO THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING US.
THE NEXT SPEAKER IS STUART BROWN.
HELLO COUNCIL. MY NAME IS STUART BROWN.
MY HOME. MY PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY WITHIN THAT CIRCLE.
LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, YOU HEARD ALL OF OUR CONCERNS LAST TIME.
YOU'RE HEARING THEM AGAIN THIS TIME.
HOWEVER, LAST TIME THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS.
THEY DIDN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, AND SO RIGHTFULLY SO.
YOU TABLED IT AND SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT GO GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW.
COME BACK AND TELL US WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.
WHAT THEY DID IS THEY GAVE YOU TWO SLIDES.
ONE SLIDE SAID IT'S NOISY AND ONE SLIDE SAID IT STINKS.
AND THEN ANY DIRECT QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL ASKED THEM THEY DID NOT ANSWER AGAIN.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE HOW FAR IT GOES.
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE'S ANOTHER ONE IN ANNA.
AND IT CAN'T BE REQUIRED TO DO THAT WHOLE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THERE'S HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF HOUSES THERE ALREADY GETTING GAS FROM SOMEWHERE. AND FINALLY, I URGE YOU TO REMEMBER THAT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE US.
OUR LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT THERE WITH GAS.
SO THEY WANT TO STICK THAT RIGHT THERE IN OUR BACKYARD INSTEAD OF THEIR OWN.
THE NEXT SPEAKER IS RYAN TEICHMAN.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RYAN TEICHMAN.
AND JUST LIKE ALL MY NEIGHBORS SAID, YOU KNOW, I ESPECIALLY HAVE YOUNG KIDS.
WE HAVE ELDERLY PARENTS LIVING THERE.
AND THE NEXT SPEAKER IS KYLIE KELLY.
HI, EVERYBODY. KYLIE KELLY I LIVE AT 3006 URBAN WAY, SO I'M ON THE OTHER SIDE.
[00:30:03]
EVERYBODY'S PRETTY MUCH, YOU KNOW, SAID OUR PIECE, WE ALL FEEL THE SAME.WE DO NOT WANT THIS IN OUR BACKYARD.
SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I ALSO OPPOSE IT AS WELL.
SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CONSIDER HAVING THEM PUT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:30.
AND CONFINE ALL COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSION AND STAFF.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR FROM THE COMMISSION ? I HAVE ONE FOR THIS GENTLEMAN HERE.
HE WAS SPEAKING OF OTHER CHEMICALS.
CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT? I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND VISIT WITH OUR OPERATION TEAM.
I HANDLE OUR PUBLIC AFFAIRS, COMMUNITY RELATIONS.
I'M NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE ON SITE.
SECOND, WHILE I'M UP HERE, YOU ASKED WHERE THE NEAREST STATION WAS.
I BROUGHT UP OUR GIS SYSTEM ON MY PHONE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE NEAREST MEASURING STATIONS ON THE EAST SIDE OF 75 IN BETWEEN THE RAILROAD AND 2862 NORTH OF DOWNTOWN.
SO PROBABLY THAT LITTLE SQUARE IF YOU RIGHT BELOW THE CURSOR, I'M BETTING.
SO THAT'S THE HORIZONTAL LINE.
THAT'S WHERE THE TOWNHOMES WILL BE FOR COYOTE MEADOWS.
IS THERE ANY OTHER PLACE YOU WOULD CONSIDER PUTTING THIS METERING STATION? WE WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER AND OUR PLANNING SYSTEM, OUR PLANNING TEAM AND OUR ENGINEERING TEAM TO SEE WHERE IT WOULD BE FEASIBLE.
THIS IS WHERE OUR EXPERTS THOUGHT IT WAS BEST TO SERVE THE GROWING COMMUNITY.
THIS IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN.
THERE'S ONE ON THE EAST SIDE OF 75 CURRENTLY, SO.
I CAN'T I'M NOT GOING TO STAND HERE AND TELL YOU WE CAN'T MOVE IT.
BUT THIS WAS THE OPTIMAL LOCATION THEY SELECTED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THIS APPLICANT ? THANK YOU. CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT? YES.
AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT IT, HAVE IT ON THE RECORD.
COMING FROM A CITY OF 400,000 PEOPLE THESE STATIONS ARE EVERYWHERE BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S UNDERGROUND IN UP NORTH.
YOU JUST. YOU JUST DON'T EVEN SEE THEM.
AND. IT'S GOING TO BE IN SOMEBODY'S BACKYARD.
SOMEDAY IT'S GOING TO BE IN SOMEBODY'S BACKYARD.
IT JUST WON'T BE THEIR BACKYARD.
SO. I DON'T THINK IT'S A BAD PLACE FOR IT.
I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD PLACE FOR IT BECAUSE FIREFIGHTERS CAN GET TO IT.
POLICE CAN GET TO IT IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY.
IT'S AN ACCESS WAY, A GOOD ACCESS WAY.
IT SUCKS THAT IT HAS TO BE IN SOMEBODY'S BACKYARD, BUT IT'S ALSO A NECESSITY.
WE'RE REALLY, REALLY HAPPY TO HAVE GAS WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE ELECTRIC DURING THE FREEZE.
YEAH, I WAS ONE THAT WASN'T SO LUCKY.
WE'RE STRAIGHT UP ELECTRIC SO.
DOES THIS LOCATION CURRENTLY MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CITY OF ANNA? THAT WOULD BE A STAFF QUESTION.
I'M SORRY. CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? DOES THIS CURRENT LOCATION MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CITY OF ANNA? WHEN YOU SAY ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR LOCATION, IT'S SO A GAS METERING STATION IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR ALL ZONING DISTRICTS.
SO A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A GAS STATION COULD BE IN ANY PART OF TOWN.
[00:35:04]
REALLY? THAT'S THEY STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE CIVIL REVIEW PROCESS.OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I GOT A COMMENT. SO ACCORDING TO OUR PACKET OF SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
THE ZONING ORDINANCE DESIGNATES CERTAIN USES THAT REQUIRE AN ACP TO ALLOW THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL TO REVIEW REQUESTS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS AS TO ITS PROBABLE EFFECT ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTY AND THE COMMUNITY WELFARE.
SO, I MEAN, THERE'S ONE OF THESE IN FRONT OF MY MECHANIC'S SHOP IN MCKINNEY ON VIRGINIA, AND IT'S SO LOUD YOU CAN'T HAVE A CONVERSATION IN FRONT OF IT. SO I THINK THERE'S MY OPINION SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT THEY CAN FIND IT IN THIS SPOT SO.
ANYONE ELSE. I'D SAY, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THE BIG CITIES THEY HAVE AND KIND OF EVERYWHERE.
BUT WHERE WE'RE AT IN ANNA RIGHT NOW, WE'RE STILL PRETTY SMALL.
YOU KNOW, THAT EASEMENT RUNS A LONG WAY.
I'D BE INTERESTED TO SEE WHERE ELSE ON THE SITE PLAN.
YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE PUT OR IF NOT ON THIS PROPERTY, MAYBE ON A DIFFERENT PROPERTY.
THE ISSUE WITH I FEEL LIKE THE EXISTING ONE AND ANNA'S THERE'S NOBODY AROUND IT RIGHT NOW SO.
I DON'T THINK THERE WAS TOO MUCH OPPOSITION WHEN WHEN THAT CAME UP.
I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THEM COMING BACK AND SHOWING US WHERE ELSE THEY CAN PUT IT.
IT'S GOING TO BE IN SOMEBODY'S BACKYARD EVENTUALLY.
BUT THOSE PEOPLE WILL BUY KNOWING THAT THAT'S THERE IF THAT'S THE CASE.
IT'S NOT A BAD PLACE WHERE IT'S AT NOW.
BUT IF THEY COULD COME BACK AND GIVE US THIS IS WHERE ELSE WE COULD PUT IT.
I WOULD STILL LIKE THE QUESTION ANSWERED AS TO IF THERE WOULD BE ANY ADDITIONAL CHEMICALS ON.
CAN WE TABLE THIS AGAIN AND GET THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED? I DON'T SEE A CONCERN WITH TABLING AGAIN TO GET THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS IN YOUR PURVIEW.
BUT AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD ASK THE APPLICANT IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO AS WELL.
BUT IT IS IN YOUR PURVIEW TO TABLE TO GET THAT ANSWER.
AND I MIGHT ADD, AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
YOU PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL.
SO I THINK THAT'S A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO TABLE AGAIN TO PROVIDE YOU THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS IT RELATES TO THE CHEMICAL STORED ON SITE AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY ANOTHER LOCATION.
AND IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE, THEN I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE ON THIS ITEM AND THEN COUNCIL CAN OF COURSE TAKE IT UP AND WE'LL PROVIDE YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO THEM AS WELL AS ANY CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE ON THE REQUEST, WHETHER IT BE FOR OR AGAINST.
WOULD THE APPLICANT BE WILLING TO DO THOSE THINGS ? CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT THE ASK IS? WELL, THERE WERE THERE WERE TWO QUESTIONS.
ONE, IS THERE ANOTHER PLACE TO PUT IT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG THAT EASEMENT? AND NUMBER TWO BE MORE SPECIFIC OF WHAT CHEMICALS WOULD BE THERE? LET ME HOW ABOUT THIS? I CAN GET YOU THE CHEMICAL QUESTION.
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY CHEMICALS ON SITE.
AS FOR LOCATION, DO YOU ALL HAVE A PREFERRED LOCATION?
[00:40:02]
BECAUSE I CAN COME UP HERE SEVERAL TIMES AND MAKE PROPOSALS ON WHERE WE RECOMMEND AS THE PROFESSIONALS.AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS FOR THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC.
THIS IS PROVIDING GAS SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.
BUT, I MEAN, I THINK WE'D LIKE TO SEE IT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD SOMEWHERE WHERE THERE'S NOT A NEIGHBORHOOD YET, WHERE THE GAS LINE IS NOW, BUT NOT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO THAT WHEN THEY DO BUILD THERE, PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING TO PURCHASE PROPERTY THERE.
THAT WOULD BE AND THEY PURCHASE IT KNOWING THAT IT'S ALREADY THERE.
YES, IT BACKS UP TO EXISTING HOMES.
WE DIDN'T OWN THIS PIPELINE WHEN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WAS BUILT.
THAT DEVELOPER DIDN'T COME TO US AND ASK US FOR NATURAL GAS.
THAT'S WHY THAT DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T HAVE NATURAL GAS.
WE'D LOVE EVERY CUSTOMER WE CAN GET.
SO WE CAN DO WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.
I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR OUR FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE TO HAVE SOME IDEAS ON WHAT YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE OR WHAT Y'ALL WOULD BE, WHAT Y'ALL WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVING TO COUNCIL.
IT DOESN'T DO ME ANY GOOD TO GO BACK, SPEND ANOTHER WEEK, MONTH, WHATEVER IT TAKES TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER LOCATION, TO HAVE IT TABLED AGAIN BECAUSE IT WASN'T DIDN'T MEET SOMETHING. IF YOU CAN TELL ME, HEY, WE LIKE IT RIGHT HERE, WE CAN SEE IF THAT'S FUNCTIONAL AND THAT'LL WORK THERE.
BUT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE ALONG THAT PIPELINE.
THAT'S THE SINCE IT'S TAPPING INTO THAT.
SO WE ARE A LITTLE BIT LIMITED IN WHERE WE CAN PUT IT.
I'VE GOT A I'VE GOT A QUESTION.
GO AHEAD. HI THERE, NICK ROY, ATMOS ENERGY, 1681 CORPORATE DRIVE.
REGARDING THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE SITE WAS SELECTED IS PROVIDE GAS SERVICE TO THE VILLAGES HURRICANE CREEK DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS FOR [INAUDIBLE] VISTA, AND AS WELL AS NORTH MANTUA.
SEVERAL THOUSAND FUTURE HOMES OF THE CITY OF ANNA.
SO LET ME LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS.
SO THE THIS IS A METERING STATION, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, TO GATHER.
OKAY. WHAT'S THE PRESSURE ON THE LINE THERE.
THE LINE THAT'S OUT THERE TODAY, THAT BLUE EASEMENT, THAT'S A HIGH PRESSURE GAS TRANSMISSION LINE.
THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO COME OUT OF THAT.
DOES THAT MAKE BETTER SENSE? YEAH. YEAH. SO THE LINES THERE IN THE BACK TO TAP INTO IT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DROP THE PRESSURE.
THIS STATION WILL MEASURE THE GAS GOING FROM ATMOS PIPELINE TEXAS TO MID TEX.
OKAY. BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HERE.
IT JUST HAS TO BE ON THE PIPELINE, RIGHT? ON THE MAIN TRANSMISSION LINE.
SO NO MATTER WHERE IT GOES, SOMEONE'S NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY AT THE END OF THE DAY.
I'M JUST I'M TRYING TO LOOK OUT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE NOW.
THAT DOESN'T HAVE PEOPLE LIVING NEAR IT RIGHT NOW.
SO WHEN THEY COME IN TO PURCHASE THEIR PROPERTY, THEY KNOW THE STATION'S ALREADY THERE.
AND THEY HAVE AN EDUCATED CHOICE TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY.
PART PART OF THE SITE HERE, THAT DEVELOPER IS GIVEN THE PROPERTY FOR THIS STATION.
[00:45:02]
IF WE PUT THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE, WE DON'T HAVE PROPERTY FOR IT.I MEAN, I BELIEVE THAT'S A DEVELOPER'S RIGHT TO USE THAT PROPERTY FOR WHAT HE SEES FIT.
I MEAN, I SUPPOSE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WE COULD DO THAT.
BUT DOES THAT MAKE BUSINESS SENSE TO GO ACQUIRE PROPERTY WHEN A DEVELOPER IS WORKING WITH US TO PUT THE PROPERTY THAT'S HERE? PROPERTY. IF THIS WAS TO BE DENIED OR TABLED TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER LOCATION, ATMOS WOULD HAVE TO THEN ACTIVELY PURSUE A DIFFERENT LOCATION WITH A DIFFERENT APPLICANT, WITH A DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNER RESUBMIT SITE PLAN.
SO WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS THAT THE COUNCIL EXCUSE ME, THE COMMISSION VOTE ON THE APPLICATION THAT'S BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING BASED UPON THE INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED. AND THEN OF COURSE WE'LL PROVIDE THAT RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL.
AND IF COUNCIL HAS THE SAME CONCERNS OR I THINK THEY CAN PROVIDE THAT DIRECTION AS WELL.
BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE A RECOMMENDING BODY, I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOUR RECOMMENDATION, JUST BE SPECIFIC AS IT RELATES TO ANY DECISION THAT YOU MAKE OF WHAT IT IS, IF THERE ARE CONCERNS OR IF THERE IS SUPPORT FOR THIS, WHY THAT MATTER? THANK YOU. AND I WOULD JUST ADD TOO ANY QUESTIONS I'LL HAVE IF YOU TABLE THIS OR IF YOU VOTE TO SEND IT, MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL.
IT'S JUST WHEN YOU COME INTO THESE MEETINGS, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE ASKED.
BUT IF YOU SEND US OUT AHEAD OF TIME, WE'RE HAPPY TO GATHER WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
IS THERE A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 18? I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DENY THE REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT AT THIS LOCATION.

GOOD EVENING. ROB MCLAIN WITH ONM LIVING 1038 TEXAN TRAIL GRAPEVINE, TEXAS.
WHEN YOU ALL ORIGINALLY VOTED FOR APPROVAL BACK IN MAY.
WE WERE EXCITED TO BE IN ANNA.
WHEN I CAME OVER TO ONM LIVING ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I TOLD OUR LAND ACQUISITION TEAM I WAS LIKE, FIND SOMETHING IN ANNA BECAUSE THE STAFF IS PHENOMENAL TO WORK WITH, FROM PLANNING TO ENGINEERING TO THE SITE FIELD GUYS.
WE'RE A FULLY INTEGRATED REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY.
WE'RE ON OUR FOURTH GENERATION OWNER, SO WE'VE BEEN AROUND.
WE HAVE A LONG TRACK RECORD OF THAT AND WE HAVE GREAT LEADERSHIP WITH A GREAT VISION TO TAKE THIS NEW COMPANY THAT WAS FORMED ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO WITH ONM LIVING INTO THE SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL SPACE, AS I'VE SEEN.
SURE. Y'ALL SEEN POP UP MORE AND MORE.
BUT THIS IS JUST A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS.
THIS WOULD DEFINITELY BE THE COTTAGE PRODUCT.
WE ARE MAINTAINING THE ORIGINAL MMF ONE MULTIFAMILY ZONING THAT WAS A PART OF THIS ORIGINAL PD, BUT WE ARE INCREASING THE DENSITY WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING GREAT GREEN SPACE. WE'LL GET INTO THAT IN JUST A MINUTE.
IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR, JUST TO REFRESH WHERE IT'S LOCATED, IT'S AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER COUNTY ROAD, 1106 AND HIGHWAY FIVE, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING. AS LAUREN STATED, I THINK OUR REQUEST FOR THIS PD AND NOT NECESSARILY AMENDING, BUT I THINK WE'RE REPEALING AND REPLACING ARE FAIRLY MINOR JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PRODUCT FITS TO THE SITE JUST IN REGARDS TO HEIGHT.
WE'RE ONLY ASKING FOR THREE MORE FEET AND SOME SETBACK CHANGES THERE IF YOU CARE TO SEE IT.
SO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND JUST KIND OF THAT THAT STEP BETWEEN GETTING THE HOME OWNERSHIP, I THINK THERE IS A NEED HERE IN ANNA AND WE WANT TO BRING A REALLY NICE LOOKING PRODUCT THAT IS AFFORDABLE THAT BOTH SINGLE COMPANIONS OR SMALL FAMILIES OR WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT BE CAN HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE.
SO TOTAL UNIT COUNT 196, AND THAT'S UNITS, THAT'S NOT BUILDINGS.
AND SO I'VE PROVIDED YOU GUYS JUST KIND OF OUR MIX OF OUR BEDROOM UNITS AND TWO BUILDING TYPES.
[00:55:03]
IT'LL BE A GATED COMMUNITY WE'LL HAVE GREAT TREE BUFFERING AND LANDSCAPING ON ALL SIDES.WE MEET THE PARKING SPACE REQUIREMENTS AND THEN GREEN SPACE.
WE'RE ONLY REQUIRED, I BELIEVE, RIGHT THERE IN THE THREE ACRE RANGE.
WE'VE GOT SIX OVER SIX ACRES OF GREEN SPACE IN THE COMMUNITY JUST TO GET INTO THE AMENITIES.
KIND OF WHAT WE'RE GIVING INTO THE COMMUNITY.
IT'S HIGHLY ENHANCED FROM THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN WITH A DOG PARK, WE'VE GOT TWO PICKLEBALL COURTS.
IF YOU'RE INTO PICKLEBALL, IT'S ALL THE RAGE THESE DAYS.
WE'VE GOT A NICE MODERN POOL SEATING AREA WITH FIREPITS AND THEN A PLAYGROUND FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
AND I THINK YOU'VE GOT THE SLIDES IN FRONT.
SO, YEAH, I MEAN, WE'RE BIG ON FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND GATHERING.
WE WANT TO FOSTER THAT IN OUR COMMUNITIES, SO WE FEEL LIKE OUR MINI SPACES.
SO HERE'S JUST SOME PICTURES OF OUR PRODUCT AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY THE SAME KIND OF SITE PLAN CONCEPT, WHICH I'VE SEEN ALREADY WITH THE HEAD END PARKING 50% OF IT WILL BE COVERED, WHETHER IT'S WITH ENCLOSED GARAGE UNITS OR SIMPLY JUST LIKE A COVERED AWNING PARKING.
A LOT OF WALKABILITY TO YOUR TO YOUR BUILDINGS AND TO YOUR UNITS.
JUST AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO OVERSELL YOU ON THE BUSINESS IDEA ITSELF SINCE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS BEFORE, BUT JUST OFFERING A DIVERSE PRODUCT AND A MARKET THAT REALLY NEEDS KIND OF A TWEENER PRODUCT BETWEEN A DENSE APARTMENT STYLE LIVING AND SINGLE FAMILY HOME OWNERSHIP.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO TRY TO PROVIDE WITH THESE COMMUNITIES.
SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY.
THANK YOU. DO ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? CAN WE GO BACK TO THIS SLIDE WHERE THEY'RE ASKING FOR? WHICH ONE. THIS ONE THANK YOU.
ANY IDEA ON TIMING FOR THIS PROJECT? YEAH, WE'RE EAGER. SO BIG PICTURE.
WE'D LOVE TO START LOOKING AT MY ENGINEER TURNING DIRT IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR.
WE'RE LOOKING AT A 12 MONTH DEVELOPMENT TIME FRAME.
OF COURSE, THERE'S SOME INTEGRATION THERE WITH PLUMBING AND UTILITIES BEFORE STREETS ARE PAID.
THEN I'M LOOKING AT MY ASSET MANAGER 30 ISH MONTHS TO A FULLY LEASED OUT FROM CALL IT JANUARY 1 OF 23, YOU'D START DELIVERING UNITS.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THAT? I THINK WE HAVE YOUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB WITH ALL THEIR IMPACT FEES.
RIGHT. SO GREG PETERS, THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, HAS DETERMINED THAT IN THIS CASE, THERE'S ONE LITTLE PARCEL IN BETWEEN THAT ISN'T PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THEN ALSO HAVING TO WORK WITH THE RAILROAD.
SO WHEN THEY START THIS DEVELOPMENT, IS IT GOING TO BE FURTHER BACK FROM 1106 TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT? YES. OK.
OKAY. SO THE SETBACK THAT YOU WANT REDUCED FROM 25 TO 20 FEET.
I THINK THAT WAS ACCOUNTING FOR.
I'M LOOKING AT YOU [INAUDIBLE] ENGINEER.
SO THOSE ARE ALWAYS HARD FOR DENSITY AND MAKING SURE EVERYTHING FITS.
[01:00:02]
AND THEN THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND THEN THE RIDE AWAY.CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE MORE? WELL, TREES ARE A COMMODITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU BACK UP TO A RAILROAD.
SO WE WOULD LOVE TO KEEP THEM THERE.
AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE MUTUALLY AGREED WITH CITY STAFF ON.
SOME OF THE YARDS HAVE PRIVATE BACKYARDS.
SO WE'RE WE'RE STILL PROVIDING 20, I THINK IT WOULD BE 25 FEET.
THE BUILDINGS WILL BE 25 FEET AWAY FROM THE TREE LINE.
CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? I'M SORRY. I'M LORI LUSK WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND 400 NORTH OKLAHOMA DRIVE [INAUDIBLE].
THANK YOU. THE THREE FEET FENCE.
A LOT OF FENCING GREATER THAN THREE FEET IN HEIGHT WITHIN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK.
SO THE REASON THAT WE INCLUDE THIS IN OUR MULTIFAMILY ZONING PDS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE YOU THE WAY THAT THE ORDINANCE IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS THAT A FENCE AND SCREENING WALL ARE NOT PERMITTED WITHIN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, AND ESPECIALLY IN THEIR CASE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THE PRIVATE YARDS, THEY WANT TO HAVE THEM UP AGAINST THE SCREENING WALL.
BUT THIS IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MULTIFAMILY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THIS APPLICANT.
THAT. IT'S PURELY SPEAKING TO JUST FOR THE MASONRY WALL AND THE FENCING.
I THINK THE FRONT YARD SETBACK IS MAYBE A LITTLE MISLEADING.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE FENCES IN FRONT OF THE UNITS ALONG THE FIRE LANES, SO TO SPEAK.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE PICTURE YOU SAW IN YOUR HEAD.
I COULDN'T WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THAT.
NO, I UNDERSTAND. YEAH. EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE IN THE REAR.
YEAH. SO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK IS AS IT RELATES TO COUNTY ROAD 1106 AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE BASICALLY A TEN FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND THEN THE APPLICANT RIGHT THERE AT THAT TEN FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER, THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING IN THEIR SCREENING WALL.
BUT THAT IS TECHNICALLY THE FRONT YARD OF THOSE UNITS THAT I GUESS TECHNICALLY BACK THEY ACTUALLY BACK TO 1106 . CORRECT. BUT IT'S JUST IT'S SEMANTICS BECAUSE, AGAIN, THIS IS A FIRE LANE THAT TRAVERSES THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S NOT ACTUAL RIGHT OF WAY.
SO THERE IS NO FRONTAGE OFF OF THOSE.
THE ONLY FRONTAGE OBTAINED IS FROM 1106.
AND SO THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IS TO ALLOW THAT SCREENING WALL, WHICH WILL TECHNICALLY SERVE AS THEIR FENCING ALONG 1106 AND IT WILL BE WITHIN SIDE THAT REQUIRED 20 FOOT FRONT YARD SETBACK THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE 10 FEET.
AND THAT'S SPECIFIC TO THE UNITS ON 1106.
CORRECT. THAT IS THE ONLY LOCATION.
AGAIN, THAT IS SOMETHING UP TO THE APPLICANT WHERE THEY CAN PUT IT, WHERE THEY WANT TO PUT THEIR THEIR FENCING OTHER THAN INSIDE THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AS WELL AS INSIDE THE OTHER SETBACK THAT WE HAVE ALONG THE NORTHERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY.
AND SAME QUESTION FOR THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER BECAUSE YOU'RE ASKING TO REDUCE IT BY HALF.
IS THAT JUST FOR THE SPECIFIC UNITS THERE NOT FOR ALL UNITS ON ALL SIDES.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ON 1106? YES. SO, YES, WE'RE JUST WE'RE BASICALLY TRYING TO GET THE COMBINED WE'LL SAY, 20 FEET FOR THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
[01:05:01]
AND WHEN SHE SAYS ENHANCE. I THINK WE'VE WE'VE COMMITTED TO DOING I THINK MORE TREES AND A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN YOU TYPICALLY WOULD SEE RIGHT THERE IN THAT LITTLE STRIP. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NO. OK.NAMES CAMERON [INAUDIBLE] I LIVE IN 3305 [INAUDIBLE] ALONG WITH MY WIFE.
WE JUST RECENTLY MOVED IN IN JUNE, SO NICE TO BE HERE.
I WAS WONDERING IF THE CURRENTLY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IS ZONED FOR MULTIFAMILY OR IS IT SINGLE FAMILY? I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE COMMISSION KNOWS.
LIKE, IS IT A PART OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT? YES, THE CURRENT ZONING AS IT SITS TODAY.
I THINK IT'S MF ONE, CORRECT? YEAH. SO MULTIFAMILY.
YEAH. SO IT'S GREAT TO HEAR THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SOME FIVE STORY APARTMENT COMPLEX.
SO THAT'S EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT NEWS.
MAYBE GET THAT TOUCHED UP BEFORE YOU GUYS START CONSTRUCTION.
IT'D BE A LOT EASIER FOR YOU EQUIPMENT.
JUST WANTED TO RAISE THAT CONCERN.
ALSO WITH THE RAILROAD, A LOT OF THE PAVEMENT IS MUSHROOMING.
IT'S PRETTY ROUGH TO GO OVER I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS ON THE RECORD.
I THINK THAT'D BE A GOOD SAFETY ADDITION FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
AND SO WE WOULD BE LOOKING INTO THE NEW SITE.
AND I THINK PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM EXCEPT THREE HAVE BEEN SOLD.
SO JUST IT WOULD JUST BE A SAD TASTE OR A SOUR TASTE IN MY MOUTH IF I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE UNDER CONTRACT RIGHT NOW NOT BEING NOTIFIED OF THIS PLAN CHANGE, THEN SHOW UP ONE DAY AND SAY, OH, IT'S BEEN CHANGED OR I GUESS NOT CHANGED.
AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO IN THIS MEETING TO HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD OR THEIR CONCERNS HEARD.
I THINK IT'S OWNED BY THE HOA, WHICH WOULD CURRENTLY BE RIVERSIDE HOME BUILDERS.
JUST DUE TO THE OWNERSHIP STAKE IN THE HOUSING.
IT'S NOT A 51 PERCENTILE YET, SO WE MAY HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH THEM, BUT I JUST DIDN'T SEE ANY GUIDELINES ON WHAT'S GOING TO BE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING INTO, WHETHER IT'S A FENCE, WHETHER IT'S JUST GOING TO BE OPEN INTO THEIR PROPERTY, JUST KIND OF CONCERNS ME A LITTLE BIT ON THAT PART.
AND YEAH, SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH MY MAIN CONCERNS.
THANK YOU. I CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS.
SO THIS IS THE ZONING STAGE IN WHICH COMMISSIONER HERMANN IS CORRECT.
THE MODIFICATIONS FOR THE ZONING REQUEST ARE AS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN.
THEY STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS AND THE LANDSCAPE REVIEW.
THE REQUIREMENT FOR A MULTIFAMILY ABUTTING A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD IS TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF ONE TREE FOR EVERY 40 LINEAR FEET ALONG THAT SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTY BOUNDARY.
AND THEN THEY DO STILL HAVE THE SIDE YARD SETBACKS.
SO IT WILL BE THE REAR OF THE UNITS THAT ARE TOWARDS THE GREEN MEADOWS NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THEN AS FAR AS COUNTY ROAD 1106, THAT IS A SPLIT ROAD BETWEEN ANNA AND VAN AUSTIN.
SO THAT DOES CREATE MORE CHALLENGES IN TERMS OF A LIGHT AT HIGHWAY FIVE AND 1106 SOME DAY.
I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY PROMISES, THOUGH.
WE ALL KNOW HOW IT IS WORKING WITH TXDOT.
WE DO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:09 P.M..
AND CONFINE COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSION AND STAFF.
[01:10:01]
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM NUMBER 20? NO. IS THERE A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 20? I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO REPEAL ORDINANCE 977 2022 AND REPLACE WITH THE RECOMMENDED RESTRICTIONS BELOW.MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUS. ITEM NUMBER 21.
CONSIDER. DISCUSS ACTION ON THE ANNA STATION CONCEPT PLAN APPLICANT 1340 HOLDING LLC.
ALL RIGHT. I WILL MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL ON THAT.
I'LL SECOND. AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MARTIN.
NUMBER 22 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.
CONSIDER DISCUSSION ACTION ON A REQUEST TO REZONE 65 PLUS ACRES LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF US 75 1200 PLUS FEET SOUTH OF WEST WHITE STREET FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT C-1 RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICANT CAALMS GROUP LLC.
SO THE ZONING REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
SO THE DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSING TRACT ONE A AND TRACT ONE B TO B, COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT .
TRACT TWO TO BE YOUR TRADITIONAL MULTIFAMILY MF TWO ZONING AND TRACT THREE TO BE YOUR BUILD FOR RENT PRODUCT.
MULTIFAMILY ONE MEDIUM DENSITY.
BUT FOR TRACT ONE A AND ONE B FOR THE ALLOWED USES IN THE C-2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR ALL OF THOSE USES LISTED EXCEPT FOR THE TEN THAT WERE IN THE STAFF REPORT.
FOR TRACT ONE A AND ONE B GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE THOR OVERLAY DISTRICT.
AND AS SHOWN ON THE CONCEPT PLAN, THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WILL BE PROVIDING THE QUASI PUBLIC STREET AND SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT ON TRACT ONE A.
FOR TRACK TWO, WHICH IS YOUR TRADITIONAL MULTIFAMILY HIGH DENSITY PRODUCT.
IT WAS THREE FEET ALONG THE QUASI PUBLIC STREET.
HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THEY WOULD LIKE FROM 0 TO 5 FEET.
STAFF HAS LOOKED AT THAT AND WE DO NOT SEE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT.
FOR PARKING TWO PARKING SPACES PER DWELLING UNIT AND TO REDUCE THE COVERED PARKING FROM 75% TO 50%.
THEY'LL ALSO BE PROVIDING A VALET TRASH SERVICE AND THEY WILL HAVE ONE TRASH COMPACTOR ON SITE.
THE FRONT BUILDINGS FACE OF THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS ADJACENT TO THE QUASI.
LET ME GO BACK. SO IF YOU CAN SEE WITH THE MOUSE HERE.
SO THESE THREE BUILDINGS HERE ALONG THE QUASI WILL BE FACING THE QUASI PUBLIC STREET.
THE REASON FOR THIS IS JUST TO KEEP IT MORE OF OPEN MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT SO THAT WAY IT'S MORE WALKABLE, IT'S MORE OPEN TO THE COMMERCIAL, MORE INVITING. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PATIOS AND BALCONIES, FENCING IS NOT PERMITTED IN THE FRONT OF ANY BUILDING.
SO FOR, TRACK THREE FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY FOR RENT PRODUCT, BUILD FOR RENT PRODUCT.
[01:15:06]
IT WILL BE A MULTI FAMILY, ONE MEDIUM DENSITY.THE REFUSE FACILITIES, THEY ARE PROVIDING A VALET TRASH SERVICE.
THE CONCEPT PLAN IS SHOWING FOUR ENCLOSED REFUSE DUMPSTERS.
IN THE STAFF REPORT WE HAD SAID THAT IT WAS TRASH COMPACTORS.
IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE REFUSED DUMPSTERS.
IT WILL BE A SIX FOOT BOARD ON BOARD WOOD FENCING WITH MASONRY COLUMNS ALONG THROCKMORTON WITH SIX FOOT ORNAMENTAL FENCE WITH MASONRY COLUMNS ALONG THROCKMORTON FOR THOSE WITH ALONG THE INTERIOR OF LANDSCAPE WHEN ADJACENT TO THE UNIT BACKYARDS.
THEY HAVE REQUESTED A MINIMUM OF EIGHT FEET FOR THE BUILDING SEPARATION.
OUR REQUIREMENT IS TYPICALLY TEN.
AND SIGNAGE, THEY ARE REQUESTING TWO MONUMENT SIGNS ALONG THROCKMORTON BOULEVARD WHERE THE NORMAL REQUEST IS OR THE SORRY, THE REGULATION SAYS ONE. THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO PRESENT FOR YOU GUYS AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
IF THE COMMISSION DOES VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE ZONING REQUEST, WE DO RECOMMEND THAT YOU APPROVE WITH THE RECOMMENDED RESTRICTIONS AND STIPULATIONS THAT ARE OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT, ALONG WITH THE CHANGE TO THAT SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR THE MF TWO.
DO ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YEAH. YOU SAID THERE WERE REQUESTS FOR TWO SIGNS ON THROCKMORTON.
DO WE KNOW WHERE THOSE ARE YET? HAVE THEY OUTLINED THEM ON THE SITE PLAN? NO. SO THAT'LL BE DETERMINED LATER ON AT THE SITE PLAN PROCESS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OK. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:17 P.M..
DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONER. MY NAME IS JOSH EDDY.
I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT. DEVELOPMENT FOR NEXT METRO COMMUNITIES.
ERE THE APPLICANT HERE ON BEHALF OF THE CAALMS GROUP WHO'S THE OWNERSHIP ENTITY.
SO NEXT METRO, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US.
WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR A LITTLE OVER TEN YEARS.
WE WERE ONE OF THE PIONEERS IN THE BTR SPACE.
I HANDLE ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS FROM START TO FINISH.
IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS.
THE REAL ESTATE PRACTICE STARTED IN EARLY 2000.
SO THE SITE PLAN THAT STAFF SHOWED YOU, YOU CAN SEE NEXT METRO'S PRODUCTS IS THERE TO THE SOUTHEAST.
IT'S A COTTAGE STYLE MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITY.
I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THOSE, NOT JUST THE PRESENTATION IN FRONT OF US.
SORRY. SEE IF I CAN DO THIS ANY BETTER.
HERE IS A CLOSE UP SECTION VIEW OF THE QUASI STREET.
YOU CAN SEE THE COMPASS AREA THERE TO THE LEFT.
SO LEFT IS NORTH, BUT WANTED TO SHOW THIS BECAUSE ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROPONENTS OF THIS REQUEST IS TO CHANGE THE PD THAT'S IN PLACE, WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL PD TO A MIXED USE PD.
AND SO HAVING THAT QUASI STREET REALLY HELPS INTEGRATE THOSE TWO USES TOGETHER.
SO SOME DETAILS ABOUT THE PROJECT.
THE NEXT METRO ACREAGE IS ABOUT 20 ACRES.
THE MULTIFAMILY, THE SWBC TRACT IS ABOUT 13.
[01:20:01]
THAT LEAVES ABOUT 25 AND A HALF ACRES OF COMMERCIAL USE ON THE FRONT EDGE.AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE TRIED TO DO HERE.
YOU CAN SEE ABOUT TEN AND A HALF UNITS PER ACRE ON THE COTTAGE STYLE COMMUNITY SIDE IN ABOUT 24 AND A HALF FOR THE MULTIFAMILY, THE UNIT MIXES ARE BROKEN OUT HERE ALONG WITH SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES, SO THE COMMUNITY AMENITIES AND THEN OF COURSE THE STARTING BASE LEASE RATES.
THAT'S A MUCH NEEDED STEP TO CUT THE CORNER AT WHITE WHERE YOU HAVE A TRUCK STOP.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE ELEVATIONS THAT WE HAD SHOWN CITY COUNCIL AS WELL.
ALL OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE IN THE 80 TO 90% MASONRY ON THE FRONT.
I BELIEVE OUR DEVELOPMENT STIPULATIONS IN THE PROPOSAL OR A MINIMUM OF 80 ON THE FRONT AND 60 ON THE SIDES, WHICH JUST HELPS KEEP YOUR COSTS DOWN, QUITE FRANKLY, SO YOU CAN PUT THAT MONEY ELSEWHERE IN THE PROJECT THAT HELPS DRIVE VALUE.
THAT MEANS THE PEAKS OF OUR ROOFS ARE ABOUT 18 FEET AND MOST OF THAT IS SHINGLE, TEN STORY CEILINGS, TEN FOOT CEILINGS, SORRY, GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, PLANK FLOORING, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS IN TERMS OF YOUR FINISHES, JUST LIKE YOU WOULD GET THE BRAND NEW SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
PRIVATE BACKYARDS ARE A BIG SELLING FEATURE FOR US.
EVERY SINGLE HOME HAS A MINIMUM TEN FOOT AND CLOSED BACK YARD.
WE ALSO HAVE DOG PARKS AND OPEN SPACE AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF SOME OF THOSE AMENITIES.
SO AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE 14 PROJECTS.
WE HAVE TWO PROJECTS SOUTH OF US HERE IN MELISSA THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW.
THOSE WILL PROBABLY DELIVER EARLY NEXT YEAR.
AND SO THAT'S ALSO ABOUT AN 18 TO 19 MONTH CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.
AND THEN WE'LL STABILIZE PROBABLY ABOUT 24 MONTHS AFTER THAT.
SO WE HAVE DATA WE CAN PROVIDE.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN YOU WOULD HAVE IN A TYPICAL RENTER, SO A LOT LESS CHILDREN.
IT HELPS CLOSE THE DOOR ON GROWTH.
YOU HAVE PEOPLE MOVING TO ANNA.
YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE LEAVING ANNA AND THIS PROVIDES THEM SOME OPTIONS IN BETWEEN.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE USE.
THIS IS A PROJECT THAT'S ACTUALLY OVER IN FORT WORTH THAT WE BUILT SO SMALLER TRACKS SO IT DOESN'T HAVE AS MUCH OF AN OPEN FIELD, BUT YOU CAN KIND OF GET A SENSE FOR SEEING THE HOMES, THE GARAGES, THE CARPORTS, THE OPEN SPACE AND THE AMENITIES THERE WITH THE ONLY IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE BEING THE FIRE LINES THAT ARE REQUIRED, OF COURSE.
SO TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SWBC, THEIR CLOSEST PROJECT TO HERE IS ACTUALLY AT CRAIG RANCH.
IT'S CALLED THE ROYAL TENANT CRAIG RANCH WAS COMPLETED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
STORY DEVELOPER BUILDS CLASS HOMES FOR IN A MULTIFAMILY STANDARD.
THESE ARE THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS THAT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS PD.
SO THESE ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PRODUCT.
THEY INTEND TO BUILD SOME OF THEIR FEATURES SIMILAR TO US WITH ALL THE INTERIOR FINISHES, PANTRY WALK IN CLOSETS, DIRECT ACCESS GARAGES, AND THEN BOTH OF US HAVE ON SITE MANAGEMENT 24/7 PARKING MANAGEMENT.
BOTH COMMUNITIES ARE PROPOSED TO BE GATED AND SECURED.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE AMENITY AREAS.
SO A CLASS A MULTIFAMILY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME THERE.
SO I BELIEVE THAT'S ALL I HAD FOR YOU.
IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANYTHING TECHNICAL OR OTHERWISE.
ON SOME OF THE PICTURES YOU SHOWED, THE ONE FROM FORT WORTH, IT WAS GATED.
IS THAT THE INTENT FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY FRIEND HERE AS WELL? THAT IS CORRECT. SO THIS IS A VERY SIMILAR ENTRANCE.
YOU HAVE YOUR MAIN ACCESS DRIVE.
I'LL GO BACK TO IT. WE HAVE WE HAVE A COUPLE OF EXTRA ENTRANCES.
[01:25:03]
DOES THIS LASER POINTER WORK? OKAY. TO THE FAR NORTHEAST IS A SECONDARY EXIT EXIT ONLY AND THEN TO THE FAR SOUTHWEST IS ANOTHER EXIT.SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE THREE CONNECTION POINTS THERE.
ALL OF THEM WILL BE GATED, THEY HAVE TURNAROUNDS AND THAT SORT OF THING.
IS THE THE MULTI FILMS AT MARKET RATE? YES. THERE'S NO THERE'S NO INCOME RESTRICTIONS IN THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.
AND THE MULTIFAMILY IS ALSO GATED.
SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE FROM THE ENTRANCE THEY HAVE, I THINK, 1, 2, 3 ENTRANCES AS WELL.
AND THOSE ARE ALL SECURED ACCESS.
IT MIGHT BE A DUMB QUESTION, BUT HOW DOES THE QUASI PUBLIC STREET WORK IF IT'S RUN BY THE BOARD? HOW DOES THAT WORK? IT WOULD BE CONDITIONED UPON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR THERE, SO IT WOULD BE DEDICATED WITH ALL THE EASEMENTS NECESSARY FOR ITS CONSTRUCT ABILITY.
BUT THE ASK THESE ARE TWO DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE HERE NOW WITH FINANCING READY TO DEVELOP.
THAT'S AN EXTRA MILLION DOLLARS OF COST.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WORKED WITH STAFF ON IS LIKE, WELL, HOW CAN WE ENSURE THIS GETS BUILT BUT NOT HAMSTRING THESE PROJECTS FROM HAPPENING AND THE VALUE THEY CREATE FROM THESE PROJECTS HAPPENING, DRIVING THAT VALUE FOR THE RETAIL, THEN THAT THAT ROAD GOES IN WITH THE RETAIL AND ANY SORT OF DEVELOPMENT THERE.
SO THE QUASI PUBLIC STREET, TECHNICALLY IT'S A FIRE LANE, SO IT'S GOING TO CARRY THE PURPOSE.
HOWEVER, IT'S A FAR LANE, SO IT'S PRIVATELY MAINTAINED.
HOWEVER, IT WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR THE PUBLIC TO PASS AND REPASS.
THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE THE BACK ENDS OF THE BUILDING.
AND THE IDEA SIMILAR IS SOMETHING, AS JOSH HAD MENTIONED, SOMETHING OF LEGACY, SOMETHING WHERE YOU'RE YOU'RE ACTIVATING THIS AREA SO THAT IN MULTIFAMILY IN THE COMMERCIAL, YOU WORK TOGETHER AS ONE AND THEY'RE NOT BISECTED BY A MASONRY WALL OR A WROUGHT IRON FENCING AND JUST HAVING A WALKWAY.
IT'S MORE OF A CONNECTION POINT.
AND SO THAT WAS THE VISION ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
SO IT IS PRIVATELY MAINTAINED.
HOWEVER, THAT'S NOT TO SAY WHEN THEY COME IN FOR PLATTING OR SITE PLAN AND NEGOTIATIONS HAPPEN BETWEEN THE PROPERTY OWNERS, THAT IT'S NOT GOING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THAT FIRE LANE. THAT WAY, THE PARKING AND HALF OF IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MULTIFAMILY, BUT AT THIS POINT IT IS SOLELY ON TRACT ONE A, WHICH IS THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.
WHEN YOU SAY THE BUILDINGS WILL FRONT THAT QUASI ROAD, IS THAT THE MULTIFAMILY? WE'LL FRONT THAT? THAT'S CORRECT.
THE FRONT OF THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING WILL BE ON THAT QUASI ROAD, CORRECT? YES. SO THE BACK SIDE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE FIRE LANE, THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL HAVE THE DIRECT ACCESS GARAGES.
THAT'S GENERALLY THE REAR OF THE BUILDING.
SO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING WOULD BE FRONTING ONTO THAT ROAD.
AND THEN ACTUALLY WHAT ROSS WAS ARTICULATING WAS THE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL ALSO FRONTING ON THAT.
SO WITHOUT THAT QUASI STREET AND THAT FIRE LANE, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A MIXED USE COMPONENT.
YOU'D HAVE MIXTURE OF USES, BUT THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY INTEGRATION THERE.
SO THAT WAS ONE OF STAFF'S VISIONS THAT WE INCORPORATED IN THE SITE PLAN.
OKAY. IS THE ROUNDABOUT A DOUBLE LANE ROUNDABOUT? I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT.
IT'S SIZED FOR A DOUBLE DOUBLE LANE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE. I SHOULD POINT OUT REAL QUICK.
SO ON TRACKS TWO AND THREE HAS NO DATE NOTATED AS VISITOR PARKING NOT REQUIRED.
SO BEFORE I ANSWER THE QUESTION, JUST SOME FUN FACTS.
THE COTTAGE STYLE COMMUNITIES GENERALLY GENERATE ABOUT 33% AS MUCH TRAFFIC AS A MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITY JUST BECAUSE OF DENSITY AND THE PEOPLE QUITE HONESTLY, AND ABOUT 10% AS MUCH AS COMMERCIAL. SO GENERALLY SPEAKING, WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN A MORE DENSE LOCATION LIKE THIS, THERE'S ALWAYS A TRADEOFF BETWEEN PARKING COUNTS, IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE AND JUST
[01:30:04]
OVERALL USABILITY OF THE LAND, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU CAN'T GO VERTICAL FOR A COTTAGE STYLE COMMUNITY.SO WE FELT THAT PROVIDING TWO FOR THAT WAS ACTUALLY AN EXCESS.
AND SO WITH THE PARKING PROVIDED HERE ON I THINK IT'S TRACK THREE, THE COTTAGE STYLE COMMUNITY, I BELIEVE WE'RE PROVIDING TWO SPACES AND I THINK THE MULTIFAMILY IS PROVIDING TWO SPACES AS WELL.
SO IT'S A DEPARTURE FROM THE BASE REQUIREMENT, BUT IT IS SUBSTANTIATED.
WHERE DID YOU SAY THE SIGNS WOULD GO? I'M SORRY. THE SIGNS YOU WANTED TO INSTEAD OF ONE, WHERE WERE THEY? ON THE MAIN ENTRY. AND REALLY, THAT'S IF I COULD POINT TO IT.
OH, PERFECT. SO THIS IS THE MAIN ENTRY, IF YOU CAN SEE MY CURSOR.
SO OUR VISION WAS THEM TO FLANK THIS SO THAT YOU COULD SEE THEM IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
SO YOU COULD SEE THEM WHEN YOU'RE HEADING SOUTHWEST.
WE'RE NOT THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EXIT ONLY DOWN HERE.
SO WE DON'T SEE A NEED FOR A SIGN OR BRANDING.
AND THE SAME WITH THE EXIT UP HERE.
SO IT WILL BE FOCUSED AROUND HERE.
ONE OF THE REASONS WE DON'T LIKE TO AT THIS STAGE DICTATE EXACTLY WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO IS, ONE, WE HAVEN'T DONE AN ENHANCED LANDSCAPING PLAN THAT'LL DETAIL ALL OF THAT CURB SCAPE. SOMETIMES IT MAKES SENSE TO INTEGRATE THAT WITH A PERIMETER WALL IN BETWEEN COLUMNS.
WE COULD PUT IT IN THE ISLAND OF THAT MAIN ENTRY AND HAVE IT A DOUBLE SIDED SIGN.
SO WE JUST HAVEN'T QUITE GOTTEN TO THAT DETAIL YET, SO WE DIDN'T DEFINE IT.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THIS APPLICANT? NO. OKAY, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:31 P.M..
AND I'M ASSUMING HE WAS THE SPEAKER.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.
OK ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? ARE WE READY FOR A MOTION? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF REAL QUICK.
DID. IN THE THERE WAS A LOT THAT WAS PRESENTED AS TO MODIFICATIONS AND EVERYTHING.
IN YOUR RECOMMENDATION, YOU HAVE SOME RESTRICTED USES ON THE COMMERCIAL.
ARE THEY ASKING TO REMOVE THOSE? THAT'S CORRECT. SO IN OUR C2 DISTRICT, WE HAVE QUITE AN ARRAY OF USES THAT ARE ALLOWED IN THAT DISTRICT.
AND THESE ARE THE 10 THAT WERE LISTED IN THERE ARE RESTRICTED FROM THE C2 IN THIS GENERAL AREA.
THANK YOU. I WOULD WANT TO LEAVE THOSE IN PLACE.
I DO NOT WANT TO LIFT THOSE RESTRICTIONS ON.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 22? YEAH. SO I GUESS CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I'D MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.
IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND, OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HERMANN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MARTIN TO INCLUDE THE RECOMMENDATIONS BY STAFF.
CONSIDER, DISCUSS ACTION ON THE NEXMETRO, SWBC ANNA CONCEPT PLAN APPLICANT CAALMS GROUP LLC.
OKAY. I'LL MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.
I HAVE A MOTION BY MYSELF FOR AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HERMANN.
[01:35:03]
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUS.CONSIDER, DISCUSS ACTION ON A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A HOTEL ON ONE LOT ON THREE PLUS ACRES LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF STRANDRIDGE BOULEVARD. 1040 PLUS FEET NORTH OF SUZIE LANE.
APPLICANT NORTH TEXAS HOCO LLC.
SO THE REQUEST IS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IS FOR A HOTEL.
AGAIN, A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT SIMILAR TO EARLIER THIS EVENING.
IT SHALL BE EVALUATED ON THE PROBABLE EFFECT ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTY AND COMMUNITY WELFARE AND MAY BE APPROVED OR DENIED, AS THE FINDINGS INDICATE APPROPRIATE WITH REGARD TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY, WELFARE OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
THEREFORE, WE SAW NO ISSUE AS IT RELATES TO THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED HOTEL ON THE SPECIFIC SITE.
BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
DO COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? AND THE APPLICANT, EXCUSE ME.
THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE WITH A BRIEF PRESENTATION.
ALL RIGHT. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:36 P.M..
DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
MY. PARTNER BRIAN GARCIA IS ALSO WITH ME TODAY.
WE'RE REPRESENTING NORTH TEXAS, HOCO.
AND THIS GROUP, AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW BOUGHT THOSE 23 ACRES OFF OF 75 BY SUZIE LANE AND STRANDRIDGE BOULEVARD.
AND THEY'RE THE PHYSICIANS THAT HAVE BUILT THE SURGERY CENTER OF ANNA.
UM. AS DESCRIBED THE HOTEL WILL BE 95 GUEST ROOMS AND SUITES. IT'LL SIT ON 2.9 ACRES, BE THREE STORIES IN HEIGHT, UNDER ABOUT 50 TO 55,000 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE.
ITS BRAND AFFILIATION WILL BE WITH WYNDHAM GARDEN HOTELS.
THIS IS THE MOST RECENT STATE OF THE ART PROTOTYPE THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED ON THE PROPERTY.
THE MANAGEMENT OF THE HOTEL WILL BE OPERATED BY AMBRIDGE HOSPITALITY.
AMBRIDGE IS ONE OF DALLAS'S LEADING HOTEL MANAGEMENT FIRMS. THEY MANAGE SOME 15 OR 1600 FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, AND I THINK ABROAD.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE WILL BE OFFERED.
IT WILL HAVE LIKE A FAST MARKET FOR COFFEE AND TO GO IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT IT'LL HAVE A SMALL RESTAURANT THAT WILL BE PREPARED ONLY.
THERE'LL BE NO REAL KITCHEN FOR IT.
IT'LL BE ITEMS THAT CAN BE HEATED UP WITH A SMALL BAR.
FULL PARKING OF 130 SURFACE PARKING SPACES AND THE AMENITIES OF THE HOTEL WILL INCLUDE A BOARDROOM, A SMALL MEETING ROOM, A FITNESS CENTER, AN OUTDOOR POOL AND FAMILY AREA, AND ALL OF THE OTHER TECHNOLOGIES, THE HIGH SPEED INTERNET, SO ON AND SO FORTH.
PRESENTLY THE LAND IS UNDER CONTROL.
IT'S OWNED BY THE FOUR PHYSICIANS THAT MAKE UP NORTH TEXAS HOCO AND WE HAVE EXECUTED A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH WYNDHAM HOTELS.
WE HAVE SIGNED OFF ON A OPERATING TERM SHEET WITH AMBRIDGE, WHICH THEIR FULL OPERATING AGREEMENT
[01:40:10]
IS BEING REVIEWED BY THE ATTORNEYS NOW.THE PROPERTY HAS COMPLETED A PHASE ONE ENVIRONMENTAL SUCCESSFULLY GEOTECH REPORT.
IT'S IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPLATTED.
ONCE THE PLAN HAS BEEN APPROVED BY CITY STAFF AND IT'S RECEIVED A FULL APPRAISAL AS NOT ONLY THE LAND APPRAISAL BUT AN AS BUILT APPRAISAL.
AND WE ARE PRESENTLY IN PROCESS OF ENGAGING THE SENIOR LENDERS AND OUR GOAL IS TO HOPEFULLY CLOSE THE FINANCING BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
IT'LL TAKE TWO MONTHS TO FINISH THE ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS.
WE THINK THE SCHEDULE IN TALKING TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTORS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH SOMEWHERE ONCE CONSTRUCTION STARTS 12 TO 14 MONTHS. SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING A SOFT OPENING SOMETIME IN MID 2024.
OUR FIRST FULL YEAR OF OPERATION WOULD BE CALENDAR 25.
A FULL BUDGET HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS SLIGHTLY UNDER $16 MILLION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT CASH RESERVES, CREDIT RESERVES FOR THE LOANS AND SO ON, AND CONTINGENCIES BUILT INTO THAT BUDGET.
SO WE FEEL IT'S IT'S VERY ROBUST AND IT'LL BE SOMEWHERE IN THE 15 TO $16 MILLION RANGE.
ONE OF THE OTHER ELEMENTS IS ONE OF THE LENDING PLATFORMS WE'RE USING AS A COMPONENT OF THE STACK IS GOING TO BE MORE OF MORE OF THIS KIND OF GRAIN KIND OF THING AND HIGH, HIGH VOLUME UTILITY USAGE WINDOWS, MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING THAT GOES INTO JUST A MORE EFFICIENT BUILDING OVERALL AS WELL.
SO. IT'LL HAVE THAT NICE TOUCH TO IT.
AS WE SAID, WE'RE HERE WITH YOU NOW TODAY, AND IT'S AN HONOR TO BE WITH YOU.
AND WE HOPE TO HAVE THE PROJECT READY FOR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY BY APRIL OF 2024.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS IS A QUICK LOOK AT THE NEW PROTOTYPE OF THE WYNDHAM GARDEN HOTEL.
VERY CLEAN, VERY MODERN, HAS SOME REALLY NICE FEATURES TO IT.
IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE SITE PLAN AND THE TEMPLATE LAYOUT.
THE SITE PLAN, AS YOU CAN SEE, HAS PROVIDED ACCESS ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO THE SERVICE ROAD ON 75, AND IT STILL PROVIDES FOR SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL ON I THINK IT'S A COMBINATION OF 9 OR 11 ACRES THAT ARE SPLIT WITH THAT ROAD LEADING TO 75.
WE THINK THE PROJECT WILL BE A REAL POSITIVE TO THE CITY.
BETWEEN ALL OF THE DIFFERENT TAXING AND IMPACT FEES THAT WILL BE GENERATED IN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS, WE THINK IT'LL PROVIDE ALMOST TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN REVENUE TO THE CITY ABOVE CREATING 20 OR 30 FULL TIME JOBS AND BEING AN AMENITY NOT ONLY TO THE CITY BUT TO THE FUTURE.
ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? CAN YOU GO BACK TO YOUR SITE PLAN? WHAT SLIDE WAS THAT, MA'AM? TWO SLIDES BACK, MAYBE.
ON THE LEFT WHERE YOU HAVE THE OUTDOOR PATIO AND THAT KIND OF THING.
WHERE'S THE POOL? IT'S IN THAT AREA.
[01:45:02]
OKAY. YES.IS IT A THREE OR FOUR? IT'S THREE. THE TEMPLATE IS A BASIC.
WE COULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO FOUR STORY'S, BUT WE WOULD HAVE RUN INTO SOME PROBLEM WITH THE HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS AND WOULD HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE HOTEL FROM 95 GUESTROOMS UP TO 110 GUEST ROOMS AND THROUGH THE ANALYSIS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 90 AND 100 WAS THE MOST EFFICIENT SIZE FOR THE HOTEL.
ANYONE ELSE. ARE THERE ANY SPEAKER CARDS FOR THIS ITEM? NO. OKAY.
I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:45.
AND CONFINE THE COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSION AND STAFF.
ANY COMMENTS? I APPRECIATE THE LOOK OF THE HOTEL FOR OUR FIRST HOTEL.
YEAH, I THINK IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
IT'S A GOOD USE FOR THE FOR WHERE IT'S AT ON THAT NORTH SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
OKAY. CAN I GET A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 24? MOTION TO APPROVE.
I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER MARTIN.
SECOND, I HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER OGAN.
YOU BEAT ME TO IT. SO ALL IN FAVOR.
MR. ALTOBELLI, THIS IS CONTINGENT ON 24, CORRECT? IT IS. I WILL MOTION TO APPROVE NUMBER ITEM NUMBER 25.
SECOND, I HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HERMANN.
ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUS.
YES, THE CITY IS REQUESTING THAT WE TABLE AND HOLD OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL OUR DECEMBER 5TH MEETING, WHICH WILL BE LOCATED IN THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX AT 120 WEST 7TH STREET AT 7:00 PM.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND FOR COMMISSIONER CLEMENS.
AT 7 P.M.. JUST FOR THE RECORD.
CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE AVERY POINTE COMMERCIAL BLOCK A LOTS 1R 4 AND 5 UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ZONE AND SIGNAGE COORDINATION PLAN APPLICANT ASHTON GRAY, LLC.
IN THIS PARTICULAR ITEM WHAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING IS FOR A AN OFF SITE SIGN.
SO THEIR REQUEST IS IN TWO PARTS TO APPROVE THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ZONE AND THEN TO APPROVE THEIR SIGN COORDINATION PLAN, WHICH IN THIS CASE THEY'RE ONLY PROPOSING ONE SIGN.
SO IN THIS PROPERTY WAS DIVIDED INTO THREE LOTS.
THERE'S ONE FRONTING FERGUSON AND THE OTHER TWO ARE FRONTING WEST WHITE STREET.
[01:50:03]
THEY ARE PROPOSING TO PUT THE SIGN ALONG WEST WHITE STREET.AS PART OF A UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ZONE.
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO MATCH THE MATERIALS OF THE SIGN ALONG WITH THE BUILDING MATERIALS.
THIS IS A TRICKY SUBJECT CONSIDERING THE STATE LAW ON BUILDING MATERIALS, BUT THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO MATCHING THEIR BUILDING TO THIS MONUMENT SIGN. SO IF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION VOTES IN FAVOR, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE TO APPROVE THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ZONE UNDER THE CONDITION THAT THE BUILDINGS WITHIN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ZONE INCORPORATE THE SAME BRICK MATERIAL AND COLOR INTO THE ELEMENTS OF THE BUILDING'S ARCHITECTURE. AND THEN THE SECOND PART IS TO APPROVE THE SIGN COORDINATION PLAN, IDENTIFYING THE LOCATION OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT MONUMENT SIGN ON LOT FIVE SUBJECT TO CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF ASSIGNED VARIANCE FOR THE FRONT YARD SETBACK TO BE REDUCED FROM 15 FEET TO 10 FEET.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE AVERY POINTE SIGN THAT'S THERE NOW.
SO THE AVERY POINTE SIGN THAT'S THERE NOW IS WITHIN A SIGN EASEMENT.
THIS PROPOSED SIGN IS APPROXIMATELY 90 FEET FROM THAT SIGN.
SO WHERE WOULD THAT BE? SO YOU CAN SEE THE EASEMENT FOR THE EXISTING SIGN RIGHT ON THE HARD CORNER.
AND THEN THEIR PROPOSED SIGN IS APPROXIMATELY RIGHT HERE.
OH, WHERE IT SAYS PURPOSED LOCATION.
SAY THAT AGAIN. WOULD THIS OPEN UP? I GUESS A CAN OF WORMS FOR OTHER.
ANYBODY ELSE ON THAT ROAD TO HAVE SIGNS AS WELL? SINCE WE HAVE BEEN HERE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS.
I THINK A UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ZONE WITH THE MONUMENT SIGNAGE.
THE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO HAVE A BETTER LOOK ALONG WEST WHITE STREET, ALONG THESE MAJOR ROADS.
BUT SOME OF THE REGULATIONS WEREN'T FOLLOWED TO A TEE.
SO THAT'S WHY THE MONUMENT SIGN IS THIS IS THE PROCESS FOR IT.
WILL THIS HAVE ANY IMPLICATIONS ON LINE OF SIGHT? ON LINE OF SIGHT? COMING IN AND OUT. SO WITH LOT FIVE, IT'S ON THE HARD CORNER.
THEY DO NOT HAVE A ACCESS POINT ON WEST WHITE STREET.
THEY BOTH LOTS FIVE AND FOUR DON'T HAVE AN ACCESS POINT ONTO WEST WHITE STREET.
THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE BRAHMS PROPERTY.
THAT SO WHERE QUIK CAR CURRENTLY IS.
THAT'S THE ENTRANCE TO BRAHMS AS WELL.
SO THAT WILL BE THE FIRST ACCESS POINT CLOSEST TO IT.
OKAY. SO THIS WON'T THIS WON'T INTERFERE WITH LINE OF SIGHT AT ALL.
NO. IN THIS SIGN SERVICES, THE RETAIL THAT'S IN THE BACK.
RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT MADE ME ASK ABOUT THE AVERY POINTE SIGN IN THE FIRST PLACE, BECAUSE IF IT'S STILL GOING TO BE ON THE CORNER, WHY WOULD THEY HAVE IT HERE ON THIS ONE? THIS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL AVERY POINTE COMMERCIAL ZONING CASE BACK IN 2007.
IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE LEGAL NAME.
IT'S THE SAME WITH MULTIFAMILY OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL STRIP CENTER.
OKAY. AND I THINK THE ONE ON THE CORNER IS FOR THE SUBDIVISION.
YES. THIS IS FOR THE THE RETAIL OR COMMERCIAL.
[01:55:03]
RIGHT. WELL, I THINK THAT'S WHERE YOU WERE SAYING IF THEY REMOVE THAT AVERY POINTE PANEL AND THIS IS JUST A RENDERING.RIGHT. THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE THE SUBDIVISION NAME ON IT.
AND WE'VE RECOMMENDED THAT THEY PUT IT SOMEWHERE ON THE BRICK PORTION.
OKAY. THAT WOULD BE MORE ADVISABLE.
OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM 27? I MOTION TO APPROVE.
A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER CLEMENS, DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT, AND A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER WENZEL.
IS THERE MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT? YES, I MOTION TO ADJOURN AT 8:55.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY MYSELF AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MARTIN.
ALL IN FAVOR? COMMISSIONER MARTIN? YES. COMMISSIONER OGAN? YES. COMMISSIONER HERMANN? YES. COMMISSIONER CLEMENS? YES. COMMISSIONER WENZEL? YES. AND MYSELF.
WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 8:56.
