WE DON'T HAVE ANY NEIGHBOR'S COMMENTS.
THIS IS MOVING ALONG REALLY GOOD.
RECEIVED REPORTS FROM STAFF OR THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST.
DO WE HAVE ANYTHING? COUNSEL, ANYBODY? STAFF? Y'ALL MUST WANT TO GO HOME OR SOMETHING [INAUDIBLE].
[5. Work Session.]
PRESENTATION FROM JPI JEFFERSON ON THE OUTER LOOP. LAUREN.>> GOOD EVENING, LAUREN MCKEY, PLANNING MANAGER.
WE HAVE MILLER SYLVAN AND BRYAN GRANT FROM JPI.
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FROM YOU ON THEIR PRESENTATION.
>> GOOD EVENING, COUNSEL. MILLER SYLVAN WITH JPI.
WE APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S TIME THIS EVENING. WE WILL BE BRIEF.
WE WANTED TO JUST INTRODUCE A PROJECT THAT WE'RE EVALUATING TODAY AND JUST GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM YOU GUYS ON HOW WE MAY MOVE FORWARD.
AS I THINK YOU GUYS KNOW, WE'VE APPRECIATED THE PARTNERSHIP WITH CITY OF ANNA FOR THREE PROJECTS SO FAR.
WE'VE GOT OUR PAR, MORE SENIOR LIVING PROJECT, WHICH OPENED AT THE END OF LAST YEAR AND IS 35% OCCUPIED AND DOING GREAT.
WE HAVE OUR WATTERS CREEK PROJECT OFF OF WHITE STREET THAT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WILL OPEN AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR THEN WE HAVE OUR FINLEY PROJECT WHICH SHOULD START HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.
WE'VE APPRECIATED THE PARTNERSHIP, WE'VE APPRECIATED OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH STAFF AND HOPING TO DO MORE IN THE CITY BUT OBVIOUSLY WANT TO CONTINUE TO BRING PROJECTS AND MAKE SURE WE'RE MEETING A NEED THAT YOU GUYS WANT US TO.
I THINK YOU GUYS KNOW WHO WE ARE.
WE'RE THE LARGEST MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPER HERE IN THE DFW AREA.
WE HAVE A LARGE TEAM THAT'S FOCUSED ON QUALITY.
WE BUILD ALL OUR OWN PROJECTS WITH OUR OWN IN-HOUSE GC LARGE ASSET MANAGEMENT TEAM TO MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT A LOT OF EYES ON OUR PROJECTS.
I'M GOING TO SKIP THROUGH SOME OF THIS.
TONIGHT WE WANT TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON A PFC HFC OPPORTUNITY ON A PARTICULARLY ZONED SITE.
I THINK UNDER THESE OPPORTUNITIES THERE IS AFFORDABILITY COMPONENT, AS YOU KNOW THOSE DEALS.
THROUGH THOSE PROJECTS, THERE'S NO COMPROMISE IN OUR PRODUCT FOR THOSE WORKFORCE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES.
I KNOW THERE'S A PERCEPTION SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE A LOWER QUALITY HOUSING.
ACTUALLY, THAT TOOL HELPS US MAINTAIN SOME OF THE JPI STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE IN ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES, WHICH IS 10-FOOT CEILINGS AND OVERSIZED GYMS, AND THE COFFEE BARS AND WASHER AND DRYERS, AND ALL THE UNITS IT HELPS US WITH THE UPGRADED FINISHES, THE OVERSIZE AMENITY AREAS.
I WANT TO JUST MAKE THAT CLEAR ON WHAT WE BUILD.
WHETHER IT'S MARKET RATE OR A PFC HFC OPPORTUNITY THAT DOES NOT CHANGE.
JUST SOME PICTURES OF SOME OF OUR PRODUCT.
THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY HERE AT OUTER LOOP AND 75.
THIS PROJECT IS ZONED FOR MULTI-FAMILY.
THERE WILL BE A OF COUPLE PHASES HERE.
THIS IS ABOUT A 20-ACRE SITE, SO IT WILL BE BUILT IN TWO DIFFERENT PHASES, ROUGHLY ABOUT 350 UNITS EACH PHASE STARTING ON THE WEST SIDE THERE.
A FOUR-STORY COMMUNITY, AIR-CONDITIONED CORRIDORS, ELEVATORS SAME HOTEL-LIKE FEEL THAT WE HAVE IN MOST OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE HFC PFC STRUCTURE, SO DON'T NEED TO EDUCATE YOU ON THAT.
WE DID RUN SOME NUMBERS ON THIS STRUCTURE, ASSUMING SOME OF OUR PREVIOUS DEALS.
I THINK EARLY ON WE TALKED TO JOEY ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I KNOW JOEY IS NOT HERE ANYMORE BUT THE GUIDANCE WE GOT WAS THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS ON 80% UNITS.
WE'VE DONE SOME DEALS THAT HAVE HAD SOME 70% AMI UNITS IN THEM AND FINLEY WAS AN EXAMPLE OF THAT WHERE WE LOWERED THE GROUND LEASE PAYMENT TO ADD SOME DEEPER AFFORDABILITY THERE.
THAT WAS THE REQUEST AT THE TIME ON THAT SIDE.
THE GUIDANCE WE GOT WAS STICK WITH THE 80S.
IT'S A MATH EQUATION FOR US ON WHAT THAT IS.
WE CAN HAVE SOME 70S AND LOWER THE PAYMENT OR KEEP IT AT THIS.
PHASE 1,170,000 PER YEAR WOULD BE THAT PAYMENT,
[00:05:02]
PHASE 2, 150,000 A YEAR, ALL THE OTHER TERMS ARE THE SAME THAT WE'VE DONE.SIMPLY, WE'RE HERE JUST TO INFORM YOU ON WHAT WE'RE THINKING ON THIS SIDE, GET SOME FEEDBACK ON THE STRUCTURE HERE.
THE DEAL IS MOVING FAST. IF WE GET FEEDBACK WE WOULD WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.
WE WOULD COME BACK BEFORE YOU HERE IN THE NEXT 30, 45 DAYS.
>> I GOT PLENTY. WASN'T THIS THE SITE THAT WAS ZONED FOR MULTIFAMILY AND HOTEL AND EVENT CENTER NOT SIX MONTHS AGO?
>> YES. THAT'S WHAT WAS SHOWN ON THE CONCEPT PLAN.
HOWEVER, THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE ENTIRE SITE FROM BEING DEVELOPED AS MULTIFAMILY.
I LIVE OFF OF FOSTER CROSSING AND THIS WOULD BE AN IDEAL SPOT FOR I'M NOT AGAINST APARTMENTS GOING AT THIS LOCATION.
IN MY OPINION, THIS IS WHERE APARTMENTS GO, NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF NEIGHBORHOODS.
IT'S LIKE SERENITY AND PROBABLY YOU'RE INVOLVED IN ANOTHER PROJECT COMING TO US PRETTY SOON.
>> THERE'S TWO ENTRANCES GOING ONTO THE OUTER LOOP AND THEN YOU HAVE FOSTER CROSSING IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE WITHIN 200 FEET, THERE'S THREE.
THE SPEED LIMIT ON THAT ROAD IS 60 MILES AN HOUR.
IT SHOULD BE 45 IF YOU DO THE STUDIES BUT IT GOT RAISED FOR SOME REASON.
BUT HAVE YOU TALKED TO THE COUNTY ABOUT THE SPEED LIMIT ON THAT ROAD? BECAUSE PEOPLE GET REAR-ENDED AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A YEAR OR MORE THERE AT FOSTER CROSSING WAITING TO TURN.
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED ON THAT.
THEN JPI, YOU ARE A HUGE COMPANY AND Y'ALL BUILD MORE THAN JUST PROJECTS TO HFCS, CORRECT?
>> CORRECT. YES, SIR. WHY DOES THIS NEED TO BE AN HFC PROJECT?
>> THERE ARE GROUPS THAT CAN LOWER THE QUALITY OF THE PROJECTS AND I THINK NOT TO SAY YOU COULDN'T DO THAT HERE AND MAKE A DEAL WORK.
IF WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A DEAL OF JPI STANDARDS THAT HAS AN AFFORDABILITY COMPONENT, THIS STRUCTURE IS REQUIRED.
IT'S ESSENTIALLY AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL TO BUILD THE HIGHEST IN MULTIFAMILY.
>> YOU'RE AT 80% SO WHAT WOULD BE THE AVERAGE INCOME FOR SOMEONE LIVING IN THIS COMPLEX? NO, SERENITY IS 80% IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY SO WHAT IS THIS ONE?
>> WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS 50% AT 80. CORRECT ME [OVERLAPPING].
>> WHAT WOULD YOU THINK THE AVERAGE INCOME?
>> I BELIEVE THAT 80% AMI IS ABOUT 65,000.
>> SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND? OKAY. DO YOU HAVE A BREAKDOWN? I DIDN'T SEE ONE.
DO YOU HAVE THE BREAKDOWN ON THE ONE BEDROOM TWO BEDROOM? BECAUSE ORIGINALLY, THE ORIGINAL ONE THAT WAS SEEKING FOR THE ZONING THAT DEVELOPER WANTED TO DO ALMOST 80% ONE BEDROOMS. ARE YOU STILL TRYING TO DUPLICATE THAT?
>> WE WOULD PROBABLY NOT DO THAT MANY.
WE DO A MARKET STUDY AND WE LOOK AT EVERY UNIT IN THE MARKET AND IT'S AN EXPENSIVE STUDY THAT TAKES A DEEP DIVE.
WHAT THAT TYPICALLY SPITS OUT AND WHAT WE'VE TYPICALLY DONE IN OUR OTHER ANNA DEALS IS ABOUT 65% ONES, 30% TWOS, AND 5% OR LESS THREES.
>> NEXT QUESTION. SORRY, I'M FULL OF QUESTIONS. I LIVE RIGHT THERE.
IF Y'ALL DID MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT, WOULD YOU CONSIDER HELPING THE FOSTER CROSSING INTERSECTION AND OUTER LOOP MAYBE FLOW A LITTLE BIT BETTER?
>> ABSOLUTELY. I THINK WE HAVE A PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING COMING UP. WE HAVE NOT HAD THAT YET.
I KNOW THERE THAT OUR ENGINEERS ARE DIGGING INTO THOSE TRAFFIC ISSUES.
BEFORE WE TOOK EVEN A COUPLE STEPS, WE WANTED TO COME TO YOU GUYS AND JUST MAKE SURE THIS STRUCTURE WAS SOMETHING YOU WOULD CONSIDER.
I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE DONE A TRAFFIC STUDY YET OR REALLY DOVE INTO THAT.
I THINK OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH STAFF AND FIGURE OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE THERE.
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO ANSWER THAT. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THAT ENTAILS.
LIKE I SAID, THERE'S ACCIDENTS RIGHT THERE.
SPEED LIMITS ARE A LITTLE BIT RIDICULOUS ON THAT ROAD.
[00:10:03]
IT'S 60, 65, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.I'VE ASKED AND THE RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE, SO I KNOW.
IT'S UP TO THE COUNTY IF THEY LOWER IT OR NOT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANT TO GET MORE SPEEDING TICKETS, BUT THAT'S PROBABLY WHY IT WAS RAISED BUT WHATEVER.
WE HAVE A LOT OF HFCS AND PFCS IN WORKS RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE INVOLVED IN TWO OF THEM THAT HAVEN'T REALLY BROKE.
WELL, ONE'S BROKE GROUND, ONE'S FIXING BREAK GROUND.
>> ABOUT TO BE INVOLVED IN ANOTHER ONE, NOT EVEN A MILE AWAY FROM [NOISE] THIS ONE, AND THEN THERE'S THREE MORE WITHIN ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT IT'S JUST HARD FOR ME TO GET ON BOARD WITH ANOTHER HFT.
THIS PROJECT, IT FITS RIGHT THERE. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? I'M ALL RIGHT WITH THE APARTMENTS THERE.
IT'S JUST HARD FOR ME TO GET ON BOARD WITH THAT.
BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE WITH THE SPEED LIMIT AND INTERSECTION RIGHT THERE, I DON'T SEE A REASON NOT TO GET ON BOARD.
>> GOT IT. GOOD FEEDBACK. I APPRECIATE THAT.
>> YOU'RE THE NEXT, GO AHEAD, SIR.
>> I WANT TO SAY THAT OUR ENGAGEMENT WITH JPI HAS BEEN IMPECCABLE.
WHENEVER THIS COUNCIL SET ME UP AS THE PRESIDENT OF BOTH THE CORPORATIONS [NOISE] THAT MANAGE OUR HOUSING FACILITIES, ALL OF THE REPORTS, THE DOCUMENTATION, THE BOOKS [LAUGHTER] THAT COME THROUGH, THE MONEY IS WELL SPENT AND SPEAK VERY HIGHLY OF JPI'S ENGAGEMENT IN OTHER CIRCLES.
>> THANK YOU, SIR. APPRECIATE THAT.
>> I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN FAVOR OF MULTIFAMILY IN THIS PROPERTY.
I THINK IT'S A WASTE OF VERY VALUABLE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE.
ME AND HE'S NOT PRESENT, BUT THE MAYOR, WE'RE INTERESTED IN THE FORMER DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT FORTH AN EVENT CENTER, HOTEL, AND SOME RETAIL, OTHER COMMERCIAL WHICH MADE THE MULTIFAMILY PILL A LITTLE EASIER TO SWALLOW.
IS JPI NOT INTERESTED IN DOING ANY OF THAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT HERE?
>>THAT'S NOT HOW THIS OPPORTUNITY WAS PRESENTED TO US AND THAT IT HAD MULTIFAMILY ZONING, AND SO WAS NOT AWARE THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU HAD BEEN SHOWN.
WE'RE MULTIFAMILY EXPERTS AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO, AND SO THAT'S HOW WE'VE EVALUATED THE PROPERTY.
>> IT WILL NOT GET A YES FROM ME, JUST LETTING YOU KNOW.
THERE'S NOTHING AGAINST JPI, BUT IT IS SPECIFICALLY THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, AND SO JUST WANT YOU TO BE AWARE.
>> JUST CHECK. THE BUILDINGS ON THE SERVICE ROAD THE, 75.
ARE THEY FOUR STORIES? IS THAT YOUR PLAN? CAN A COMMERCIAL NOT GO ON THE FIRST STORY THERE, LIKE WHAT YOU'RE HAVING TO DO AT SERENITY IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE?
>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ON THE ACCESS ROAD ON CENTRAL?
>> WE HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THAT.
>> JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT. [BACKGROUND]
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR CONVENTION CENTERS, HOTELS, OTHER THINGS.
IS THERE SOME ELEMENT OF MIXED-USE THAT WE CAN CONSIDER? WE HAVEN'T TURNED OVER THAT CAR.
I THINK [OVERLAPPING] IT BY RIGHT.
>> SURE. THOSE FOUR BUILDINGS ON THE WEST SIDE OF IT, THE ONE ON THE EAST SIDE, I'M OKAY WITH IT BEING A RESORT-STYLE SET OF APARTMENTS.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE INCOME LEVEL INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY.
>> I'M NOT REALLY COMFORTABLE WITH THE INCOME LEVEL ON THAT EITHER, BUT MORE INCOME, HIGHER RENTS SHOULD HELP WITH THE DIFFERENCE.
BUT IF YOU COULD DO SOMETHING ON THE FIRST FLOOR OR FIRST TWO FLOORS THAT WOULD BE OF A RETAIL OFFICE, PROFESSIONAL OFFICE, ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE THAT WOULD CARRY OUR ECONOMY, I'D BE MORE INTERESTED.
>> UNDERSTOOD. JUST AS A POINT OF REFERENCE, THIS IS LOCATED DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE FREEWAY ACROSS WHERE THE COLLIN COLLEGE HAS GOT THAT LAND FOR COLLEGE.
[00:15:01]
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE TYPE OF MULTIFAMILY THAT WOULD INTEREST, SAY, COLLEGE STUDENTS, BUT CERTAINLY FACULTY.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT STAN IS SAYING, BUT I AGREE WITH CONSTANT CHILDREN THERE.
THIS IS THE LOCATION WHERE THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT NEEDS TO GO.
ADDITIONALLY, JUST AS A SECOND THOUGHT, THIS IS KIND OF DOWN IN A BOWL.
IF YOU WERE TO PUT ANY KIND OF COMMERCIAL OR ANYTHING IN THERE, THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T GET THE VISION.
THE VISUAL HELP FROM BEING SEEN FROM THE FREEWAY BY ANY MEANS.
>> I THINK THAT'S SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT THE LANDOWNER HAD MENTIONED THAT THIS SHOULD BE MULTIFAMILY.
BUT OBVIOUSLY, WE ARE NEW TO THE SCENE, AND SO HAVE NOT LOOKED AT ITS COMMERCIAL VIABILITY.
I THINK THE FEEDBACK WE GOT WAS THAT THERE WASN'T A LOT TODAY.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT. THE BOWL THING COMES UP, AND I LOOK OVER AT WATTERS CREEK JUST SOUTH OF US.
YOU CAN'T SEE ANY OF THOSE BUSINESSES AND THEY'RE THRIVING.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO MENTION QUICKLY ON THIS PLAN ON THE NORTH.
WHERE IS THE LASER POINTER? NO, THE BOTTOM.
THE TOP LEFT CORNER WHERE THAT BAR BUILDING IS.
THAT SHOULDN'T BE SHOWN THERE.
I THINK IT'S PART OF THE ZONING, AND LAUREN CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THAT'S WHERE THE EVENT CENTER AND THE PRIVATE BANQUET HALL WAS, THAT PART WOULD REMAIN.
NOTHING BUT THE ZONING IS CHANGING.
THE MULTIFAMILY IS ALL SOUTH OF WHAT HAD BEEN DESIGNATED IN THE ZONING DOCUMENT AS BANQUET HALL AND HOTEL.
THE BAR BUILDING. THAT SHOULD GO AWAY.
THAT SHOULD BE WHERE YOU REFERENCED WAS.
>> PRETTY MUCH JUST THE THREE BUILDINGS NOT THE FOURTH?
>> THREE BUILDINGS. YES, SIR. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE ONE NORTH IS REMAINING.
>> THAT AREA IS STILL COMMERCIAL OR WOULD BE OR COULD BE?
>> IN THE ZONING, YOU MENTIONED THE AMOUNT OF ONE-BEDROOM UNITS.
IT WAS 70% WHICH IS IN THE ZONING, AND WE WERE ADHERING TO THAT ZONING REQUIREMENT THAT YOU PUT IN THE PD SIX MONTHS AGO.
>> COUNSEL, ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT SIDE? I JUST GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.
I THINK THERE'S A GENERAL MISNOMER THAT THAT'S GOING TO LEAD TO SOMETHING LIKE A SECTION 8 HOUSING OR CRIME PROBLEM OR SOMETHING ELSE.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 80% OF THE MEDIAN INCOME OF THE COLLIN COUNTY.
CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH HOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD WORK?
>> YEAH, SURE. THAT 80%, THAT SETS THE RENT, AND THEN THAT RESIDENT HAS TO QUALIFY FOR THAT RENT.
SO WE HAVE THE SAME BACKGROUND CHECKS, INCOME CHECKS, ALL OF THAT THAT WE DO FOR ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS THAT HAS TO APPLY FOR THAT.
SOMEBODY WITH A SECTION 8 VOUCHER WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR THAT RENT.
WE'VE HEARD THAT CONCERN BEFORE AND HAS NOT BEEN A CONCERN FOR US.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK THAT'S A GENERAL CONCEPTION THAT PEOPLE THINK THAT THAT'S JUST GOING TO BRING SOMETHING IN, AND THAT'S JUST INCORRECT.
THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE RENTS IN THE AREA, IT'S ALMOST GETTING UNTENABLE AT SOME POINT.
YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM.
THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID MENTION THAT THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE PENCILING OUT THE THINGS THE WAY THAT THEY ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THEY COULD.
THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THIS HAPPENED THIS WAY.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE APARTMENTS AT ALL, ESPECIALLY THE HIGHER-QUALITY ONES WHICH YOU GUYS BRING TO THE TABLE, SO I'M GOOD.
>> HEY, SORRY. I GOT A COUPLE OF OTHER THOUGHTS.
I DON'T SEE OUR TRAIL SYSTEM ON HERE.
I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO WORK WITH OUR PAST DEPARTMENT FOR OUR TIE INTO OUR TRAIL SYSTEM FULLY.
WHATEVER OTHER AMENITIES YOU COULD BRING WOULD HELP CARRY THIS THROUGH.
>> JPI WOULD ALSO BE THE SOLE MANAGEMENT COMPANY FOR THIS PRODUCT AS WELL?
>> CORRECT. WE WOULD ASSET MANAGE BOTH PHASES. THAT'S CORRECT.
>> GOT YOU. WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT. THANKS.
>> APOLOGIZE, SOME OF THOSE DETAILS AREN'T ON HERE YET.
I THINK AS WE MASSAGE THIS AND WORK WITH PARKS AND HAVE PRE-DEB, I THINK IT'LL START MORE COMING TO LIFE AND PROGRAMMING THE GREEN SPACES.
WE JUST REALLY WANTED TO COME GET IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK,
[00:20:02]
SO WE APPRECIATE IT.>> THANK YOU. ITEM 6; CONSENT ITEMS.
[6. Consent Items.]
THESE ITEMS CONSIST OF NON-CONTROVERSIAL OR HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS REQUIRED BY LAW.ITEMS MAY BE CONSIDERED INDIVIDUALLY BY ANY COUNCIL MEMBER MAKING SUCH REQUEST PRIOR TO A MOTION AND VOTE ON THE CONSENT ITEMS. ANY COUNCILMAN WOULD LIKE TO PULL ANY OF THE CONSENTS?
>> MAYOR PRO-TEM, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 6A, THROUGH D.
>> I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TOTEN AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN ATCHLEY. KERRY.
ITEM 7; ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION.
[7. Items For Individual Consideration.]
IS 7A HERE YET? THANKS. CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PERTAINING TO THE BUILDING MATERIAL AGREEMENT REQUIREMENT WITHIN ANACAPRI. LAUREN.>> A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS DEVELOPMENT.
THE DEVELOPER WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING THE PROPERTY IN 2020 WHEN THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED, AND SO THEY HAVE COME IN AND ARE REQUESTING TO AMEND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
IN PARTICULAR FOR THE BUILDING MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS FOR THE LAGOON, AND THEN THE GARAGE DOOR REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY HAD ADDED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY FOR THE REMAINING PHASES, NOT FOR THE PHASE THAT'S CURRENTLY BUILT.
I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO STEVE FROM MEGATEL.
>> GOOD EVENING. SORRY ABOUT BEING A LITTLE BIT LATE.
I GUESS I GOT IN HERE JUST IN TIME FOR OUR PRESENTATION ZACH'S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.
A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE WAY, SOME ACCIDENTS.
OUR LAGOON COMMUNITY AND I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING HIM A BACKGROUND ON IT.
THE LAGOON COMMUNITY, I GUESS IT WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WE CAME THROUGH COUNSEL AND BROUGHT IT TO YOU FOLKS.
THE COMMUNITY IS DESIGNED TO BE A RESORT NOT ONLY FOR THE FOLKS THAT LIVE THERE, BUT FOR THE CITY OF ANNA AND THE RESIDENTS HERE AS WELL.
ON A RESORT, WE'RE TRYING HARD TO MAKE CERTAIN ATMOSPHERE AND A CERTAIN FEEL.
I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE AND THE PICTURES AND DIFFERENT THINGS OF THE LAGOON.
YOU PROBABLY ALSO HAVE SOME OF THE BOOKLETS THAT SHOW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.
WE REALIZED THAT WE HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WE NEEDED TO ADDRESS AND ONE OF THEM WAS THE BUILDING MATERIALS FOR THE ACTUAL COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AS PART OF THE LAGOON.
WE'VE SINCE FIXED THAT IN OUR OTHER CITIES, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU FOLKS HERE.
WE THINK THAT A VERY STRONG PART OF THE RESORT IS TO LOOK FOR IT.
IT NEEDS TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
IT NEEDS TO FEEL A LITTLE BIT SPECIAL.
IT NEEDS TO BE A PLACE THAT PEOPLE LOOK AT AND SAY, WOW, WE'D LIKE TO COME OVER HERE OR WE'D LIKE TO PARTICIPATE.
FINALLY, HERE WE'VE GOT IT DUG OUT.
IN FACT, THE RAIN HAS FILLED THE LAGOON IN UP SEVERAL TIMES.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
WE'VE HAD TO PUMP ALL THE WATER OUT AND RIGHT NOW I'M SURE IT'S FULL AGAIN.
WE'LL PUMP IT OUT AGAIN. HOPEFULLY, IT'LL STAY OUT AND WE CAN GET ALL THE PIPES AND STUFF IN THE BOTTOM OF IT.
THE LOOK WE'RE GOING FOR WITH ALL OF OUR LAGOONS BECAUSE IT'S A BEACH AND WHEN PEOPLE THINK ABOUT LAGOONS, A LOT OF THEM ARE THINKING, WE THINK ABOUT THE CARIBBEAN AND THAT WHOLE AREA.
THAT WAS A LOT OF THE NAMES OF OUR PROJECTS, OUR ISLANDS, EITHER IN THE CARIBBEAN OR MEDITERRANEAN.
[00:25:03]
ANACAPRI OBVIOUSLY IS A DESTINATION THAT A LOT OF FOLKS LIKE TO GO TO, BUT TO MAKE IT INTO A RESORT, OUR INITIAL FEELING AND DESIRE TO MAKE IT SPECIAL WAS TO GO WITH THE CARIBBEAN FEEL.WE'VE GOT THE BEACHES AND WE WANTED EVERYTHING TO BE SURFY AND A BEACH FEEL TO IT.
I WANTED TO SHOW A BUNCH OF PICTURES OF SOME OF THE EARLY RENDERINGS THAT WE HAD.
YOU CAN SEE THE CARIBBEAN LOOK ON A LOT OF THESE THINGS.
THEY HAVE THE EAVES THAT HANG OVER.
YOU GOT THE HURRICANE SHUTTERS, A LOT OF BIG WINDOWS, AND YOU SEE A LOT OF THE LOOK OF EVERYTHING AND YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING MATERIALS THAT ARE USED TO CREATE THAT LOOK.
THIS WAS DEFINITELY OUR VISION, AND IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH ALL OF OUR LAGOONS IS TO CREATE THIS TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE A RESORT, LIKE YOU'RE ON A VACATION SOMEPLACE.
UNFORTUNATELY, WITH ALL THE MASONRY MATERIALS, WE HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME TRYING TO REPLICATE THIS LOOK.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR ARCHITECT, MINHO KIM, WITH HEDK.
MINHO IS THE MAIN PERSON WE HAVE FROM OUR ARCHITECTURAL GROUP THAT CREATES IDEAS AND THEMES.
I LIKE HIM TO ALSO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN.
HE'S BEING AN ARCHITECT WITH LOTS OF EXPERIENCE.
HE'S FAR BETTER THAN I AM TO DISCUSS THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.
>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MINHO KIM, I'M THE DESIGN PRINCIPAL AT THE HEDK ARCHITECTS.
WE WORKED TOGETHER WITH MEGATEL HOMES FOR LAST SIX OR SEVEN YEARS FOR LARGER MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS.
AS SOON AS JACK EXPLAINED HIS DREAM ABOUT THE LAGOON COMMUNITIES, I WAS SO EXCITED BECAUSE I KNEW THAT IT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO TO BE PART OF SUCH A UNIQUE AND SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS FOR THE TEXAS.
AS STEVE MENTIONED THAT WE BELIEVE THAT THE CARIBBEAN STYLE ARCHITECTURE IS GOING TO BE THE BEST FIT FOR THE LAGOON COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT CAN PRESENT PRETTY WELL FOR THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, NOT ONLY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES IN THESE COMMUNITIES.
PEOPLE WHO LIVES IN THE CITY THAT CAN BE PART OF THE AMENITIES, AND ENJOY THE REGIONAL STYLE LIVING OUT THERE AS WELL.
THEN TO ACHIEVE THE LOOK OF THE CARIBBEAN STYLE ARCHITECTURE AS STEVE MENTIONED THAT THE EXTERIOR MATERIALS ARE QUITE IMPORTANT.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE CEMENT SIDING MATERIALS ARE GOING TO BE THE MAIN FACADE EXTERIOR MATERIALS FOR THE CARIBBEAN LOOK TO ACHIEVE THAT AUTHENTIC OF THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.
JUST LIKE IF WE ARE TO DESIGN THE MISSION STYLE ARCHITECTURE, THEN WE WILL NEED TO USE A LARGE STOCK FOR THE EXTERIOR MATERIALS TO ACHIEVE THAT LOOK.
OR IF WE ARE TO DESIGN LIKE A GEORGIAN STYLE ARCHITECTURE, THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE LOTS OF BRICKS TO ACHIEVE THAT TYPES OF ARCHITECTURAL STYLE FOR THE EXTERIOR LOOKS.
THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE ARE TRYING TO STICK WITH A LOTS OF SIDINGS FOR THE EXTERIOR MATERIALS, SUCH AS LEFT SIDINGS OR BOARD AND BEDDINGS, OR THE SIDING PANELS TO ACHIEVE THAT LOOK.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE ALSO WANT TO ADD A LOTS OF DETAILS ON IT JUST LIKE THE BOBER HANGS AND THE DIFFERENT STYLES OF THE SHUTTERS, AND THEN BREAK AND LEFT TAILS AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO ACHIEVE THEIR LOOK AS WELL.
I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT THE COLORS ARE IMPORTANT TO ACHIEVE THE LOOK AS WELL.
THAT WE DEFINITELY WANT TO INTRODUCE THE LIGHT AND BRIGHT COLORS OF THE EXTERIOR COLOR SCHEMES TO FINISH OUT THE BUILDINGS TO PREEMPT WELL TO THE COMMUNITIES.
>> YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE SOME OF THE LIGHTER COLORS.
[00:30:03]
I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NECESSARILY GO BRIGHT, BUT WE DEFINITELY TRY TO USE SOME OF THE LIGHTER COLORS, THE BLUES AND LIGHTER YELLOWS BUT NOT NECESSARILY THINGS IS GOING TO BE, I WOULD SAY, BRIGHT.FOR THE LAGOON BECAUSE IT IS A RESORT.
WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING DIFFERENT ON THE HOMES OR THE MULTIFAMILY.
I THINK WE'RE FINE WITH ALL THAT.
THE LAGOON BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT A RESORT AND THERE'S PROBABLY SIX OR SEVEN BUILDINGS INSIDE THE LAGOON.
WE HAVE THE MAIN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT WHICH IS ABOUT 40 OR SO THOUSAND SQUARE FEET, AND THEN WE'VE GOT SOME AUXILIARY RESTROOMS, PUMP HOUSE, STORAGE FACILITY, THESE TYPES OF THINGS.
EVERYTHING INSIDE THE LAGOON PROPERTY, WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TRY TO KEEP THE RESORT FEEL AND HELP CREATE THAT AND BOOST IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
TO DO THAT, WE'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE REALLY NEED TO USE SOME OTHER MATERIALS OTHER THAN BRICK AND STONE AND STUCCO TO HELP GET TO THERE.
WE DEFINITELY ARE INCLUDING TRADITIONAL MASONRY PRODUCTS LIKE BRICK, STONE, AND STUCCO IN NOT ONLY THE LAGOON BUILDINGS, BUT ALSO THE MULTIFAMILY.
BUT TO GET TO THAT REALLY LOOK OF THE CARIBBEAN, THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT WORK IS TO REALLY HAVE SOME OF THAT CEMENTED SIDING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE EAVES COME OUT.
TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF LAP BOARD THAT GO UP.
OUR ASK TONIGHT ON JUST THE BUILDINGS INSIDE THE LAGOON, THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS WOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE A VARIANCE ON THE MASONRY REQUIREMENTS AND BE ABLE TO USE THE SIDING WHERE NECESSARY OR THE DIFFERENT CEMENT AS FIBER MATERIALS AND NOT ALWAYS SIDING TO BE ABLE TO CREATE THESE DIFFERENT LOOKS IN THESE DIFFERENT FIELDS.
>> YES. WHAT WOULD YOUR ASK TO PMZ? THIS IS DIFFERENT.
>> WE ADDED A COUPLE OF THINGS TO PMZ.
WE TALKED ABOUT PARKING IN THE MULTIFAMILY.
>> IT WAS ONE OTHER ITEM AS WELL.
WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD JUST GO AHEAD.
>> THIS WASN'T PART OF THE ASK.
>> NO, BECAUSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW PMZ ZONING CANNOT DICTATE BUILDING MATERIALS.
>> THIS IS LIKE, IT'S PRETTY MUCH DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS DENIED IN PMZ?
>> CORRECT. THAT ITEM HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.
THAT'S THE NEXT ITEM 7B THAT THE APPLICANT HAS WITHDRAWN.
>> OREN, THIS MIGHT STILL BE FOR YOU.
ISN'T HARDY PLANT CONSIDERED BRICK?
>> HISTORICALLY, THE CITY OF ANNA HAS NOT CONSIDERED A BRICK MATERIAL.
THAT'S IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, IT WAS VERY SPECIFIC THAT IT HAD TO BE STONE, BRICK OR SPLIT FACE CONCRETE MASONRY.
EVEN STUCCO WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE DEFINITION OF MASONRY IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
>> THIS IS PROBABLY FOR HIM. I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME, BUT YOU'RE LOOKING TO DO THE WHOLE THING.
WHAT'S THE PERCENTAGE? HOW MUCH BRICK COMPARED TO HOW MUCH HARDIE PLANK?
>> LET THE ARCHITECT TO ANSWER THAT.
>> I BELIEVE WE HAVE ABOUT 20, 25% OF THE BRICK, AND THEN THE REST OF THEM IS GOING TO BE HARDIE SIDING OR HARDIE PANEL.
>> LET'S SAY THE REST OF THE COUNCIL THEY DON'T WANT TO GO ALONG WITH IT.
CAN IT NOT BE RESORT STYLE ON THE BACK END WHERE THE LAGOON IS AT, INSTEAD OF HAVING A RESORT STYLE UP FRONT? WOULD THAT BE AN IDEAL? AND IT'S NOT LIKE BRICK CAN'T BE PAINTED.
>> I WILL SAY WE HAVE HAD A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE PUMP HOUSE AND THAT WAS ONE THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT FOR US TO EVALUATE BECAUSE WHAT IS CONSIDERED PUBLIC VIEW.
SO IS THE LAGOON CONSIDERED PUBLIC VIEW? IS THE FIRE LANE EASEMENT PUBLIC VIEW? OR IS IT CONSIDERED NOWHERE IS PUBLIC VIEW BECAUSE IT'S ALL INTERIOR LOT.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE FACING WITH THIS.
>> WE'VE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS WITH YOUR STAFF ON THE BUILDING PERMITS ABOUT THIS VERY THING,
[00:35:04]
AND I THINK THE CONSENSUS WAS THE BEST THING WOULD BE FOR US TO COME TO YOU GUYS AND ASK FOR A VARIANCE FOR THE BUILDINGS INSIDE THE LAGOON AREA.>> WE DO HAVE TO REMEMBER THERE WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WANTED TO DO ALL SHIPLAP AND HARDIEPLANK SIDING AND I THINK IT GOT DENIED.
IT WAS FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO.
SOME OF THE COUNCIL'S CONCERNS WERE IT'S GOING TO FADE AND ALL THAT STUFF LIKE THAT.
I LIVED IN PROVIDENCE VILLAGE.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ONE PIECE OF BRICK IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I LIKED IT, AND I DO LIKE IT.
WE HAVE TO REMEMBER, FOR THE COUNCIL, IT'S A COMMERCIAL BUILDING, SO I GOT TO ASSUME THAT UPKEEP IT'S GOING TO BE KEPT UP BECAUSE IT'S YOUR COMMERCIAL BUILDING.
IT'S NOT LIKE SOMEONE'S HOUSE.
>> UNLIKE MOST PEOPLE THAT PUT IN LAGOONS, THIS IS NOT OWNED BY THE HOA.
ONE OF OUR SISTER COMPANIES ACTUALLY OWNS AND WILL OPERATE THE LAGOON AS A PROFIT CENTER.
WE WANT TO BE IN THE LAGOON LONG-TERM.
OBVIOUSLY, TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD AND TO DRAW PEOPLE IN, IT'S GOT TO BE MAINTAINED WELL.
I KNOW ZACH IS EXTREMELY METICULOUS ON MAINTENANCE AND ALL THE FINER LITTLE DETAILS OF THINGS.
HE REMINDS ME DAILY ABOUT SUCH THINGS, BUT HE IS VERY INTERESTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS LOOKS GOOD IN LONG-TERM.
THIS IS REALLY HIS BABY THAT HE CAME UP WITH AND HE'S PLANNING ON OWNING THESE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND TURNING THESE OVER TO HIS FAMILY.
HE SEES THIS AS HIS LEGACY TO HIS FAMILY.
SO HE WANTS THIS THING TO SUCCEED.
I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE THE DRIVE HE HAS TO MAKE THIS INTO A REALITY.
THE PERFORMERS LOOK REALLY, REALLY GOOD FOR THE LAGOONS, WHICH YOU GUYS ARE GETTING SALES TAX, SO IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING AS WELL.
BUT OUR GOAL IS TO KEEP THESE PRIVATELY HELD INSIDE OUR COMPANY AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE MEETING THE HIGHEST LEVEL STANDARD FOR A RESORT.
OTHERWISE, OUR PERFORMANCE WILL FADE OFF PRETTY FAST IF YOU LET THE THING GO, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TOP GRADE LANDSCAPING AND TOP GRADE MAINTENANCE AND JUST CLEANING CREWS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
>> QUICK ASK. IF IT'S HIS LEGACY, JUST ASK HIM TO SPEED IT UP ON THE LAGOON.
>> ABSOLUTELY. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WILL HELP SPEED IT UP BECAUSE WE CAN GET OUR PERMIT OUT OF PURGATORY FOR A WHILE, AND GET MOVING ON THINGS.
I KNOW WE'VE GOT FOLKS THAT ARE ITCHING TO JUMP OUT THERE AND GET THIS THING MOVING.
I'VE ALREADY TOLD ZACH I'M MOVING MY OFFICE TO THE SWIM-UP BAR IN ANACAPRI, AND THAT'S WHERE HE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIND ME.
RIGHT NOW, I'M UP IN SHERMAN, AND IT'S CLOSER TO THE OFFICE DOWN HERE.
ONCE HE GETS IT UP AND GOING, THAT'S WHERE HE'S GOING TO FIND ME.
>> I ACTUALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF MIXING THIS UP AND GIVING IT THAT VISUAL SEPARATION THAT IT IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN TOWN.
>> THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR.
HE TOLD US EARLY ON, IF YOU GUYS REALLY WANT A RESORT AND YOU WANT IT TO POP, IT NEEDS TO STAND OUT, IT NEEDS TO BE DIFFERENT, IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING WHERE PEOPLE SAY, HUH, WHAT'S THAT? BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT THAN EVERYTHING ELSE THAT THEY SEE.
EVEN SUBCONSCIOUSLY, IT'LL CATCH THEIR EYE AND DRAW THEM INTO IT.
>> I'LL GO NEXT. THERE'S A LOT OF VARIETY HERE.
BUT YOU HAVE THE MAN STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU IS GOING TO DECIDE WHAT HE REALLY WANTS.
CAN YOU TELL US WHICH ONE OF THESE PHOTOS CAPTURES WHAT YOUR VISION IS FOR ANACAPRI? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE APPROVING, IF WE APPROVE IT, WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON.
COLORS, STYLE, ALL OF IT BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF VARIETY HERE.
IF YOU JUST PAUSE RIGHT THERE ON THE PREVIOUS FRAME, I'M OKAY WITH THAT.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE THE SCREENS RIGHT NOW, THAT'S OUR RENDERING FOR FOR THE AMENITY CENTER FOR THE LAGOON.
AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DETAILS THAT DEFINE THE CARIBBEAN STYLE,
[00:40:03]
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT IS GOING TO BE A DEEP OVERHANG BECAUSE THE CARIBBEAN STYLE IS ACTUALLY ORIGINALLY FROM THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, BUT THEN IT DEVELOPED IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES, SO THAT THE WEATHER, THEIR TEMPERATURES AND THE DAYLIGHT AND THINGS LIKE THAT REALLY AFFECTED THEIR STYLE AS DEVELOPED.THAT DEEP OVERHANG IS QUITE IMPORTANT AS WELL, BECAUSE OF DEEP OVERHANG THAT WE HAVE TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF A WRECKAGE TO SUPPORT THAT.
THOSE TYPES OF DETAILS ARE IMPORTANT, AS WELL AS HURRICANE SHUTTERS, WHICH IS GOING TO BE ESSENTIAL FOR THE COASTAL LIVING, SO THAT WE ADDED THOSE DETAILS OUT THERE.
THEN I COVERED THE PROMENADES OR THE IMPORTANT PART OF IT SO THAT THEY CAN REALLY WALK THROUGH THE SHADED AREAS WITHOUT GETTING OUT UNDER THE SUN.
SO THAT WE ALSO PROVIDED THE TYPES OF IT.
IF YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE VIDEO OF THE PICTURES IN THE MIDDLE BOTTOM THERE, THAT YOU CAN SEE THE BIG AND THE DEEP COVERED PATIO OR THE PROMENADE OUT THERE AS WELL.
THE ROOF MATERIAL IS GOING TO BE MOST LIKELY THE METAL ROOF, WHICH IS QUITE STURDY AND THEN OUTSTANDING AS WELL.
THEN WE HAVE A MIXTURE OF THE ASPHALT SHINGLE AS WELL TO MIX UP THE BIG BUILDING ROOF AREAS OUT THERE.
WE ALSO PROVIDE, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, FOR THE COLORS SCHEMES IS GOING TO BE MORE LIKE A BRIGHT AND THE RIGHT, YOU CAN SAY THAT THE PASTEL COLORS THAT YOU CAN FIND SOME OF THOSE FLORIDA STYLE ARCHITECTURE OUT THERE THAT IS REALLY ACCENTUATE THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE WHO WALK BY OR TO PASS BY THE ARCHITECTURE TO PRESENT ANOTHER COST OF LIVING OF THE ENVIRONMENT, THE TYPES OF DETAIL THAT WE REALLY WANT TO ADD IN.
FOR THE MATERIAL WISE, AS I MENTIONED, THAT THE SIDINGS ARE QUITE IMPORTANT.
THEN, AS ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS MENTIONED, THAT THIS IS NOT LIKE A WOOD SIDING OR THE PLASTIC SIDING, ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL.
THIS IS A CEMENTIDIOUS MATERIAL.
IT'S A FIRE RESISTANT MATERIAL THAT JUST LIKE THE CONCRETE OR THE BRICK, BUT JUST DIFFERENT TYPES OF IT.
THEN IT MIMICS THE CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURAL MATERIALS OUT THERE AND THE SIDING, BUT IT'S NOT A WOOD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL, SO THAT WE CAN REALLY STICK WITH THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE FOR THE CARIBBEAN ARCHITECT.
>> NOT STUCCO, BUT THE SIDINGS.
>> OKAY. THE HARDIEPLANK, THAT STUFF JUST DOESN'T ROT.
YOUR REQUEST TONIGHT, IT MATCHES WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO BUILD, SO I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
>> YEAH, I WAS JUST CURIOUS. WE DON'T HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF THE GARAGE DOOR.
WHAT'S THE CHANGE ON THE GARAGE DOOR? AND THESE ARE GOING TO BE ON '60S AND Z'S, IS THAT RIGHT?
>> I FORGOT ABOUT THE GARAGE DOOR.
YEAH. WE WANTED TO HAVE THE CARRIAGE LOOK WITH THE HARDWARE.
I THINK RIGHT NOW THAT'S ONE OF THE OPTIONS THAT CAN BE DONE.
WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT ON ALL OF OUR GARAGES.
>> OKAY. I DIDN'T SEE A BIG CHANGE IN THERE REALLY AT ALL.
>> APPARENTLY, THE GARAGE DOORS FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES HAVE TO BE WOOD CLAD OR WOOD COMPOSITE.
HISTORICALLY, I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ON WHY THAT WAS PARTICULARLY INCLUDED IN THE LANGUAGE, AND SO WHAT THEY ARE REQUESTING IS EMBOSSED SINGLE METAL GARAGE DOORS WITH AN APPEARANCE OR COLOR SIMILAR TO WOOD.
THAT WAY IT STILL IS COHESIVE.
>> WE'VE USED THE WOOD IN THE PAST AND IT'S A WARRANTY NIGHTMARE.
IT LOOKS GREAT, BUT YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER GETS BROKEN ALL THE TIME AND IT COMES OFF THE TRACK ALL THE TIME.
AFTER A WHILE, YOU GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO PEOPLE CALL AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THINGS.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT SO IT'LL BE BETTER FOR THE OWNERS, STILL LOOK GOOD, AND REDUCE ALL THE WARRANTY.
IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF GARAGE.
IT'S A MATERIAL, THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE GARAGE DOOR ITSELF.
>> LET'S HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS REAL QUICK.
SO YOU'VE REFERENCED A LOT ABOUT THE CARIBBEAN LOOK AND THE ARCHITECTURE.
[00:45:09]
SO MY FIRST QUESTION IS GOING TO BE YOU HAVE SEVERAL OF THESE THROUGHOUT.WHEN YOU SAY LAGOON TO ME, IT MEANS ONE OF TWO THINGS.
IT EITHER MEANS A CARIBBEAN LOOK OR A BAD HORROR MOVIE.
IT'S THE ONLY TWO THINGS THAT COULD BE.
I'M A LITTLE, I GUESS, CONFUSED AS TO WHY THIS DIDN'T COME UP AT FIRST, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE DESIGN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND WHY WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN THIS GAME LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT USUALLY WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS, THERE'S A COST.
SOMETHING IS GOING ON, AND WE'VE GOT ECONOMIC INCENTIVES ATTACHED.
THERE'S SOME DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON HERE.
I KNOW THE PNZ DENIED COMPONENTS OF THIS, BUT THEN WE PULLED SOME OF IT OUT.
SO I'M ASSUMING THE ITEMS IN GREEN ARE WHAT WE NEED A SUPERMAJORITY FOR OR OR THE B IS GONE. THAT'S GONE.
>> WHEN THE PNZ WAS THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES, WE REQUIRE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES FOR EACH BUILDING, SO IF THAT CAN STILL BE PART OF ZONING, BUT BUILDING MATERIALS CANNOT BE PART OF ZONING.
>> THIS IS JUST BUILDING MATERIALS.
>> THAT'S KIND OF WHAT MY QUESTION IS.
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE DESIGN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
>> IT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE DESIGN FROM THE FIRST PLACE.
THE FIRM THAT WE WERE USING, WE HAD A DIFFERENT LEGAL GROUP BACK THEN AND WE HAD, THEY'RE A GOOD LEGAL GROUP, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE A RESORT OR WORKED, OR THOUGHT ABOUT ANYTHING OUT OF THE NORM, AND WE HAD A CONSTRUCTION GROUP THAT WAS GIVING US A LOT OF ADVICE.
A PRIVATELY OWNED, SMALL GROUP THAT DOES A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT.
THE TWO OF THEM WORKED IN CONCERT TO PUT THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT TOGETHER.
WHILE MOST OF OUR AGREEMENTS HAD PICTURES AND STUFF LIKE THIS IN AS EXHIBITS, AND MOST OF THE CITIES ARE LIKE, WELL HERE'S WHAT THE EXHIBIT IS.
AS LONG AS YOU MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THIS, WE'RE FINE.
WE DON'T CARE. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.
THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPER AGREEMENT DID NOT INCLUDE THOSE PICTURES.
INCLUDED A WHOLE BUNCH OF ADDED THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE PROJECT NOT WORK.
WE'VE GOT DIFFERENT FOLKS WORKING WITH US NOW THAT ACTUALLY HAVE SOME BACKGROUND WORKING WITH RESORTS AND DIFFERENT THINGS AND THERE'S A MUCH BETTER MINDSET.
I THINK YOU GUYS WERE OUR SECOND DEVELOPER AGREEMENT.
THE SECOND AGREEMENT WE HAD ON A LAGOON YOU GUYS IN FOR WERE ALMOST NECK AND NECK.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAS REALLY FIRST, MAYBE ZACH WOULD KNOW.
BUT YEAH, WE'VE CORRECTED THAT.
I'M SORRY TO WASTE YOUR GUYS TIME WITH THIS WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE UP FRONT.
I'M FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I HAD TO COME UP AND DO THIS, TOO, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE UP FRONT.
ZACH AND I HAD A LONG PHONE CALL ON THE WAY UP HERE, WHERE I COMPLAINED TO HIM ABOUT A BUNCH OF THINGS, AND HE SAID, WE'RE FIXING IT.
WE'RE GOING TO FIX IT ALL TOMORROW.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW.
IT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING DAY, BUT YES, SIR, YOU ARE CORRECT.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE UP FRONT.
>> WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE CANDID ANSWER.
>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE, ITEM 7A.
>> A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TOTIN.
A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CARTER.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER TOTENI. COUNCIL MEMBER CARVER? YES. COUNCIL MEMBER ATCHLEY? YES. COUNCIL MEMBER BAKER? YES. COUNCIL MEMBER CAIN, PRO TIM MILLER?
>> YES. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU.
>> ITEM 7B HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO CONSIDER DISCUSS ACT TO APPROVE RESOLUTION APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROJECT ORDER, AMENDING THE MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HEWITT ZLLERS FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AND PARK PLANNING SERVICES FOR ANNA CROSSING PARK. GREG? THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO-TEM MILLER?
[00:50:01]
>> MAYOR PRO-TEM. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, I DO HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION FOR THIS ITEM TO SHOW YOU TONIGHT.
JUST REAL QUICK, WE WILL GO OVER THE LOCATION, THE SITE, THE SCOPE, AND THE PROCESS THAT WILL BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT, TOUCH ON THE FUNDING SOURCE AND STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
MANY OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS SITE.
I KNOW THAT THIS PROPERTY WAS DEDICATED TO THE CITY FOR PARK USE SEVERAL YEARS BACK.
IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
BUT WE DO HAVE A PROPOSED PARK ON CITY PROPERTY IN THE ANNA CROSSING NEIGHBORHOOD TOWARDS THE EASTERN END OF FINLEY BOULEVARD.
IF YOU GO DOWN THERE WHERE FINLEY CURRENTLY ENDS, YOU CAN SEE THIS PROPERTY.
IT'S AN ODD SHAPE BUT IT'S VERY MUCH A LINEAR TYPE OF PARK.
IF YOU GO OUT THERE AND LOOK, THERE'S ACTUALLY QUITE A BIT OF TERRAIN CHANGE ON THE PROPERTY.
THERE'S A LOT OF TREES, THERE'S AN EXISTING POND THERE ON THE FAR WESTERN EDGE.
THERE'S A LOT OF NATURAL ELEMENTS GOING TO THIS PARK LAND.
THIS PROPERTY IS CLEARLY NOT JUST LIKE AN OLD FLAT FARM FIELD THAT WAS UTILIZED FOR CROPS, ROLLING TERRAIN, AND SOME HEAVILY WOODED AREAS.
JUST TO GIVE YOU A FEW PHOTOS, OBVIOUSLY THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN RECENTLY.
YOU CAN SEE THE PARTIAL FREEZE ON THE.
THERE WAS A COLD DAY WHEN WE WENT OUT TO TAKE THESE PHOTOS.
THIS IS DEAD OF WINTER, NOT WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN THE SPRINGTIME OBVIOUSLY, BUT JUST GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE SIZE AND THE SCALE OF THINGS.
THE PROCESS AND THE SCOPE THE STAFF IS PROPOSING FOR THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN OUR 2050 PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN, WHICH IDENTIFIED THIS PARK AS IMPORTANT PARK, THAT PLAN, IT'S CALLED A PARK ON PAPER, MEANING THAT SOME LAND THERE THAT EXISTS BUT THERE ARE NO AMENITIES, THERE'S REALLY NO PUBLIC USE OF THE SITE.
OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD AND MAKE THAT NO LONGER A PARK ON PAPER AND MAKE IT A REAL PARK FOR OUR COMMUNITY, BUT WE WANT THIS TO BE A COMMUNITY DRIVEN PROCESS.
OUR GOAL AND THE SCOPE FOR THE CONSULTING TEAM REFLECTS THIS, IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PUBLIC MEETINGS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT WE CAN INCLUDE THE NEIGHBORS IN THE PROCESS.
OBVIOUSLY, THE PARKS ADVISORY BOARD WILL ALSO PARTICIPATE, PROVIDE INPUT AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
THEN YOU ALL, AS THE COUNCIL WILL CLEARLY BE INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS AS WELL WITH IT BEING A THREE LEVEL APPROACH.
WE WOULD COME UP WITH SOME INITIAL IDEAS AND CONCEPTS.
WE WOULD TAKE THOSE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD JUST TO GET SOME GENERAL FEEDBACK.
WE WOULD GET THAT PUBLIC INPUT INFORMATION, GO TO THE PARK BOARD, USE THAT TO REALLY REFINE THE DETAILS, POTENTIALLY GO BACK OUT TO THE PUBLIC MAYBE THROUGH DIGITAL OR IN PERSON FORMATS TO GET THAT INFORMATION BACK OUT, AND THEN EVENTUALLY END UP COMING BACK TO COUNCIL WITH A FINAL SCOPE OF WHAT THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WOULD CONSIST OF, WHAT THE MASTER PLAN WOULD CONSIST OF.
THE INITIAL GOAL IS GOING TO BE TO DEVELOP A MASTER PLAN FOR THE PARK, BUT THE SCOPE ALSO INCLUDES TAKING THAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH AN INITIAL MASTER PLAN TO CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS SO THAT WE CAN BID AND CONSTRUCT THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PARK ITSELF.
IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, WE CURRENTLY HAVE IDENTIFIED $100,000 OF PARK DEVELOPMENT FUNDS DEDICATED TOWARDS THIS SPECIFIC CAPITAL PROJECT.
THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL 165,000 PENCILED IN FOR NEXT YEAR.
OBVIOUSLY DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS THAT WE WILL BE TAKING IN OVER THE LATE SPRING AND THROUGH THE SUMMER OF THIS YEAR, WE'LL BE REVISITING THAT AND LOOKING AT NOT JUST FY24-25 BUT THEN ALSO 25-26 TO TAKE THIS PROJECT ALL THE WAY THROUGH CONSTRUCTION.
WE THINK THAT THE DESIGN PROCESS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE ABOUT A YEAR BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE DO WANT TO HAVE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT.
WHILE IT'S A LARGE PARK, IT'S IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REALLY TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN TO OUR NEIGHBORS WHO LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE TIME TO GIVE THEIR FEEDBACK IN THE PROCESS.
[00:55:03]
THE DESIGN PROCESS WOULD BE FUNDED THROUGH THIS YEAR'S BUDGET AND NEXT YEAR'S AND THEN CONSTRUCTION FUNDED THROUGH COMBINATION OF THE 24-25 AND THE 25-26 BUDGET, IS OUR CURRENT PLAN.THE STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVING THE RESOLUTION THAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HUITT-ZOLLERS.
IF THIS IS APPROVED, WE WOULD WORK WITH HUITT-ZOLLERS TO IDENTIFY A PROJECT SCHEDULE.
PART OF THAT'S GOING TO BE REACHING OUT TO THE HOA FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FINDING OUT WHEN THEIR MEETINGS ARE COMING UP AND PUTTING TOGETHER THIS PUBLIC COMPONENT OF THE SCHEDULE, WHICH WE FEEL LIKE IS VERY IMPORTANT, BUT THEN WE WOULD PUT TOGETHER A DETAILED PROJECT SCHEDULE.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE WOULD DO IS MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE INFORMATION FOR THIS WOULD BE IN OUR QUARTERLY UPDATES THAT WE DO FOR OUR PARKS PROJECTS.
FRANCES LA RUE DOES A GREAT JOB, OUR PUBLIC AFFAIRS MANAGER, OF WORKING WITH DALAN WALKER, OUR PARKS PLANNING MANAGER, TO GET THOSE THINGS UPDATED AND GET THAT OUT TO THE CITY, BUT WE'D ALSO OBVIOUSLY PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO YOU ALL AND TO THE PARKS ADVISORY BOARD AS WELL, SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE SCHEDULE AND HAVE A FEEL FOR THE MILESTONES THAT THIS PROJECT WILL HAVE MOVING FORWARD.
THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE TONIGHT. THANK YOU.
>> HEY GREG, I LIKE WHAT'S YOU GOT GOING ON HERE.
I'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE COULD HAVE AT LEAST TWO OR THREE OF THE PARKS BOARD PRESENT AT THESE COMMUNITY GATHERING MEETINGS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO BE PRESENT, BUT I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE LIAISON INVITED TO THE MEETING, WHOEVER IT MAY BE AT THE TIME SO THAT THEY CAN BE GARNERING THE INPUT AND THEY WANT TO FORM ANY OTHER COMMITTEE AGAIN.
>> YES, SIR. COUNCIL KEVIN, THAT'S CERTAINLY A GOOD IDEA.
WHAT WE WILL DO IS WE'LL MAKE ALL OF YOU AND OBVIOUSLY ALSO THE PARKS BOARD AWARE OF THOSE DATES AND TIMES, WE WILL INVITE ALL OF YOU AND WE CAN GET WITH KERRY AND POST A NOTICE OF POTENTIAL QUORUM SO THAT IT DOESN'T CAUSE ANY ISSUES.
AS MANY OF YOU AS WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND, CAN ATTEND AND IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
>> THIS LAND IS ALREADY DESIGNATED PARK, CORRECT?
IT WAS DEDICATED BY THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER.
WHEN THEY SUBDIVIDED THE PROPERTY, THEY DEDICATED THE LAND TO THE CITY.
>> HOW MUCH IS THE CONTRACT WITH HUITT-ZOLLERS GOING TO COST US AND ALL THESE STUDIES, AND MORE STUDIES TO REACH OUT TO THIS.
I THOUGHT WE HAD AN ADVISORY BOARD THAT IS THE NEIGHBORS WHERE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO USE THEM FOR, INSTEAD OF HAVING ANOTHER COMMUNITY OUTREACH STUDY.
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY PROJECT WE DO, WE HAVE TO HAVE A COMMUNITY OUTREACH FUND.
I GET WE SHOULD REACH OUT TO OUR NEIGHBORS, BUT WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.
CAN WE USE THAT HUITT-ZOLLERS ON ANOTHER BIGGER TYPE PROJECT INSTEAD OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS? BECAUSE I THINK I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR THIS PARK AND A FEW OF THE COUNCILMEN EXPRESSED WHAT OUR NEXT BIG PART COULD OR SHOULD BE, SINCE WE'RE ALREADY GOING TO HAVE A NICE PLAYGROUND BUILT.
IT'S OUTSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IT'S WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? HOW MUCH IS A CONTRACT WITH HUITT-ZOLLERS? I DIDN'T SEE A DOLLAR.
>> SURE. THE TOTAL, ALL IN PRICE, THAT'S FOR ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE DESIGN AND BIDDING, AND EVERYTHING IS JUST OVER $300,000.
>> WE'RE ESTIMATING THAT THE CONSTRUCTION COST TO FULLY AMENITIZE A PARK OF THIS SIZE IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 3-4 MILLION, AND HONESTLY, WITH A 28 ACRE PARK, WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT IT COULD BE, IF IT WAS HIGHLY AMENITIZED, YOU COULD SPEND UP TO SEVEN OR EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS, 28 ACRES, IT'S A LARGE PIECE OF LAND.
THAT FEE IS BASED ON THE EXPECTATION THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DESIGNING 3-4 MILLION DOLLARS PLUS WORTH OF AMENITIES TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE PROPERTY.
>> [OVERLAPPING] ASK HIS QUESTION, I'M SORRY.
>> WHY DO WE NEED THIS GROUP MAYBE IS THE QUESTION THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ASK.
[01:00:02]
>> WELL, I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT COME BEFORE YOU AND RECOMMEND THAT WE TRY TO DESIGN A PARK OF THIS SIZE IN HOUSE.
NUMBER ONE, WE NEED TO HAVE PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS DO THE DESIGN WORK.
THE MAJORITY OF THIS COST IS IN THE DESIGN WORK.
LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 3-4 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS.
STANDARD COST ALL IN FOR MOST THINGS THESE DAYS IS ROUGHLY 10 PERCENT, THAT GETS YOU PRETTY CLOSE.
WE DO HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC INPUT BUILT INTO THIS SCOPE AND THAT IS BASED ON, HONESTLY THE SUCCESS THAT WE HAD WITH THE LIBRARY.
WE JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO ENGAGE IN THE COMMUNITY.
OBVIOUSLY AS STAFF, WE'RE OPEN TO THE DIRECTION THAT YOU ALL PROVIDE US, BUT MY RECOMMENDATION AS STAFF IS THAT WE REALLY EMBRACE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE'VE HEARD FOR A LONG TIME SOME CONCERNS FROM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD REGARDING A LACK OF AMENITIES.
THE LAST THING THAT WE WANT TO DO IS GO IN THERE AND BUILD SOMETHING THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T WANT.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY I CAN MAKE THEM MORE UPSET ABOUT AMENITIES WOULD BE FOR US TO GO IN AND BUILD THE WRONG THING.
MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WE DISCUSS WITH THEM IN DETAIL, AND WE GET THAT FEEDBACK KNOWING THAT WE ALSO WANT TO HAVE, OBVIOUSLY, OUR PARK BOARD, HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS.
IF YOU RECALL, WITH THE LIBRARY AND THIS WILL NOT HAVE THAT LEVEL OF PUBLIC INPUT.
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS GOING AND HAVING A MEETING.
MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT.
NOT NECESSARILY AS SUBSTANTIAL AS WHAT WE DID WITH THE LIBRARY, BUT WE TOOK THE RESULTS OF THAT INPUT AND WE BROUGHT THAT BACK TO THE LIBRARY TASK FORCE AND THEN THEY USED THAT TO HELP GUIDE THE PROJECT.
THAT'S HOW WE WOULD WANT TO USE THE PARK BOARD, SO WE WOULD TAKE THE PARK BOARD, GIVE THEM THIS INFORMATION FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN LET THEM TELL THE DESIGN TEAM.
>> COUNCIL, IF I CAN ADD TO THIS PARK IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT IS GOING TO BE A CITY PARK, BUT IT IS VERY MUCH IN THE CORE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD.
PART OF THIS OUTREACH IS ALSO TO GIVE A HEADS UP TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF WHAT IS COMING, ALLOW THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT, TO TELL US WHAT TYPE OF IMPACT THEY ALSO WANT AS PART OF THAT PARK.
THEY WANT IT TO BE MORE PASSIVE, THEY WANT IT TO BE MORE OF A NATURE PARK OR DO THEY WANT THERE TO BE MORE RECREATION? KNOWING THAT, THAT MAY PROVIDE A INVERSE IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT THAT OUR CITY MANAGER IS MAKING BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, TRAFFIC VOLUMES TO AND FROM PARKS ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE AMENITIES PROVIDED AND SO WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
I THINK WE ALL SAW THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC WE GOT WHEN THE SPLASH PAD OPENED.
THAT WAS A HUGE PERSON DRIVER, BROUGHT PEOPLE TO THE PARK.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH PUTTING ANOTHER THING THAT DRIVES A LOT OF PEOPLE TO THIS PARK, AT THIS PARK, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR IT AND THAT THE COMMUNITY EMBRACES THAT AND THEY'RE OKAY WITH THAT.
>> CAN YOU PULL THE MAP UP AGAIN FOR ME REAL QUICK, PLEASE?
>> THIS IS WHAT, ABOUT A HALF A MILE OR MAYBE A MILE NORTH? WHERE THE ONE THAT'S ANNA RANCH DOWN OFF OF HURDLE.
HOW FAR IS THIS NORTH OF THERE?
>> CORRECT. IT'S IN BETWEEN HALF A MILE AND A MILE.
ONE OF THE BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THAT LOCATION AND THIS LOCATION IS EVEN THOUGH THAT HAS SOME ROLLING TERRAIN, I ACTUALLY WALKED THIS SITE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF TERRAIN CHANGE OUT HERE.
IT'S REALLY ROLLING, SO IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT KIND OF ANIMAL.
IT COULD LEND ITSELF TO SOME REALLY INTERESTING NATURE TRAILS.
JUST MAYBE SETTING UP DIFFERENT HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS, MULTIPLE RINGS THAT TOTALS LIKE A FULL 5K KIND OF THING, WHERE PEOPLE COULD GO OUT THERE AND RUN.
THERE'S DIFFERENT OPTIONS LIKE THAT.
>> WE'D CERTAINLY WANT TO COORDINATE WHAT WE DO HERE WITH WHAT WE DO SOUTH OF HERE.
>> NOW, I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION.
>> MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TAKE NO ACTION.
>> A MOTION, DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
>> I DON'T SEE A REASON TO BE SPENDING $300,000 FOR STUDY.
[01:05:01]
YOU JUST SAID WE COULD GO AHEAD STRAIGHT TO DESIGN AND BUILD THE BIKE TRAILS AND NATURE TRAILS, SOMETHING FOR THIS SIDE OF TOWN.IT COULD BE OUR VETERANS PARK.
INSTEAD OF HAVING A VETERANS BENCH, WE CAN HAVE A VETERANS PARK AND RECOGNIZE THE VETERANS OF OUR COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE OUR 2050 PLAN THAT WAS PART OF OUR PARKS.
PARKS ARE A PART OF THAT, WE HAVE STUDIES. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? I JUST DON'T THINK WE NEED TO ENTER INTO ANOTHER STUDY.
WE'RE ELECTED OFFICIALS, WE SHOULD KNOW OUR NEIGHBORS.
THAT'S OUR JOB. WE APPOINTED PARKS ADVISORY BOARDS.
THEY'RE A PART OF THE NEIGHBORS, SO THEY KNOW WHAT THE NEIGHBORS WANT TO.
WHERE DO YOU LIVE, ELDON? I FORGET WHICH NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT WE HAVE AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE.
THEY KNOW THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL.
ONCE AGAIN, I'M GOING TO THROW IT OUT THERE.
I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PARK, SO WHATEVER.
>> I'M SORRY. WOULDN'T YOU RATHER JUST MAKE A MOTION TO NOT APPROVE IT RATHER THAN NO ACTION?
>> NO. I WOULD LIKE TO REVISIT IT AND BE A PART OF THAT DISCUSSION BEFORE WE DO.
>> DO NOT SAY THAT CITIZENS OF ANNA VOTED YOU TO COME UP HERE AND SPEAK ON THEIR THEIR BEHALF, BUT THAT ALSO INCLUDES THEM TO CONTINUE TO HAVE INPUT.
>> THEY'RE NOT VOTING FOR YOU TO COME UP HERE AND BE A DICTATOR THAT SAYS [OVERLAPPING]
>> YOU SURE YOU ARE. YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO DICTATE WHAT THAT 28 ACRES OF LAND IS GOING TO BE, AND YOU DON'T CARE WHAT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THESE HOUSES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT.
>> NO, I KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SAY.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SAY BECAUSE THEY ELECTED YOU?
>> NO. WE CAN SPEND $300,000 ON IT AND 80% OF THEM ARE GOING TO SAY WE WANT TO WATER PARK OR SWIMMING POOL. PROMISE YOU ON THAT.
>> I THINK YOU'RE A COUNCILMAN FOR FOSTER CROSSING.
>> NO. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR COMPLAINTS ARE BECAUSE I'M INVOLVED IN THIS CITY.
>> THE NEIGHBORS ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN THAT YOU'RE NOT GIVING THEM ANY INPUT.
THAT YOU'RE DICTATING, THAT YOU AND ALL OF THEM WANT A VETERAN WALL.
WHERE? BECAUSE IT'S IN OUR 2050 PLAN, THAT'S INSANE.
>> WE'VE SPENT MONEY ON MORE STUDIES.
>> I MAKE A MOTION, WE APPROVE ITEM 7C.
>> A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN ATCHLEY AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BAKER.
>> YOU GOT TO DO THAT AT LEAST ONCE, DON'T YOU? YES. MOTION PASSES.
CONSIDER TO DISCUSS ACTION ON A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE LEONARD AVENUE EXTENSION PROJECT TO ANA SITE CONSTRUCTION. JUSTIN.
>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. JUSTIN CLARKES CFP MANAGER.
TONIGHT I'M BRINGING FORWARD ALL TWO PROJECTS.
WE KNOW ABOUT THIS PROJECT A LITTLE BIT.
THIS IS THE SAME PROJECT THAT WE SUBMITTED FOR THE COLLIN COUNTY CALL FOR PROJECTS AND WAS AWARDED SOME OF THE COLLIN COUNTY BOND FUNDS.
WE PUT TOGETHER A PRESENTATION FOR YOU.
THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION, I'LL SHOW YOU THE LOCATION, SHOW YOU WHAT WE GOT WITH OUR BIDS, WHAT WE PLAN ON SPENDING THAT MONEY FOR, AND WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDED.
THIS PORTION OF LEONARD AVENUE IS IN BETWEEN FOSTER CROSSING AND THE COLLIN COUNTY OUTER LOOP.
WITH THIS PROJECT, WE DID IT OUT TWO DIFFERENT WAYS.
WE DID A BASE BID AND AN ALTERNATE.
THE BASE BID WAS THE FOUR-LANE DIVIDED.
LUCKILY, OUR BIDS CAME IN TO WHERE WE COULD BUILD THE WHOLE ROADWAY AS WE WANTED TO DO. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET.
WE'RE ALSO GETTING 1,800 LINEAR FEET OF 12-INCH WATER, SANITARY SEWER WITH THIS PROJECT, AND STORM AS WELL.
THE PROJECT FUNDING FOR THIS LIKE I SAID, WE WERE AWARDED SOME FUNDS FROM COLLIN COUNTY.
WE GOT 2.5 MILLION FROM THE COUNTY TO USE ON THIS PROJECT AND THE REST OF THE MONEY TO EQUAL UP WITH ANA'S CONTRACT WILL BE 1.4 MILLION.
THREE BIDS WERE RECEIVED ON JANUARY 8, 2024.
WE HAD SOME VERY GOOD CONTRACTORS BID ON THIS PROJECT, TISEO, URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE, AND ANA SITE CONSTRUCTION.
WHO IS ANA SITE CONSTRUCTION? WE KNOW THESE GUYS.
THESE GUYS DID THE US 75 UTILITY RELOCATIONS PHASE 2 FOR US.
[01:10:02]
ALSO THE PORTION OF LEONARD AVENUE BY THE NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL TO FOSTER CROSSING.THEY PAVED THAT PORTION FOR THE CANVAS.
IT WAS NOT PART OF THE CITY BUT IT WAS FOR THE DEVELOPER.
THESE GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA, FAMILIAR WITH THE PAVEMENT, AND THEY HAVE DONE CITY WORK FOR US BEFORE.
STAFF RECOMMENDS AWARDING THE CONTRACT TO ANA SITE CONSTRUCTION.
IF APPROVED THE CFP, CITY MANAGER STAFF WORK WITH ANA TO COME UP WITH A CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE.
TALKING TO THOSE GUYS AFTER WE DID BID OPENINGS.
THEY'RE HOPING TO MOBILIZE AROUND THE MARCH TIME FRAME, JUST SO YOU KNOW.
WORK IS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN IN THE SPRING OF 2024.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANYTHING YOU MAY HAVE.
>> CAN YOU GO BACK A COUPLE OF SLIDES, PLEASE?
>> YES, SIR. JUST TELL ME WHEN TO STOP MR. MILLER.
>> A GOOD ONE. FORWARD ONE, SIR.
>> SO 3.9 MILLION WAS THE PROJECT FUNDING.
GO FORWARD ONE. THE BID WAS 3.58 FOR 18.
>> YES, SIR. WITH THIS AND THE RESOLUTION, I THREW AN 8% CONTINGENCY SPORT.
I THINK THAT BRINGS MY PROJECT UP TO JUST UNDER $4 MILLION.
YOU NEVER GO INTO A PROJECT THINKING IT'S GOING TO BE PERFECT.
WE JUST WANTED TO HAVE THAT LITTLE BIT OF MONEY, THAT EXTRA MONEY TO COVER ANYTHING THAT MIGHT POP UP DURING THIS PROJECT, AND HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU GUYS AND ASK YOU.
>> SURE. THAT'S CLOSER, IT'S PRETTY RARE.
>> YES, SIR. YOU CAN SEE THE ALTERNATE BID AND WHAT THE TWO LANES CAME IN AND THE BASE BID.
LIKE I SAID, THE BASE BID, THAT'S THE OVERALL THING, THE FOUR LANE DIVIDED AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED AND WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE FUNDS FROM THE COLLIN COUNTY CALL OF PROJECTS.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
I KNOW THAT THE FOLKS THAT LIVE IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
NORMALLY, DR. BROWN'S AT THESE MEETINGS AND THEN HE'S AN ADVOCATE FOR EVERYTHING GOING ON THERE AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED WITH THE BIDS THAT CAME IN.
WE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE CONTRACTOR THAT'S DONE THIS WORK.
THEY'VE DONE IT BEFORE ON LEONARD AVENUE, JUST NORTH OF THE SCHOOL, LIKE I SAID AND THEY'VE DONE SOME WORK FOR US RECENTLY, THE US 75 UTILITY RELOCATION, PHASE 2, WHICH THEY COMPLETED.
>> I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS OUR FIRST PROJECT THAT WE WERE AWARDED BY THE COUNTY.
FINALLY, ANNA GETS SOMETHING FROM THE 800 OR $900 MILLION FROM THE REST OF THE COLLIN COUNTY.
WE'RE GOING TO BE PROBABLY DONE WITH OUR PROJECT BEFORE TWO YEARS AGO, THOSE PROJECTS.
THEY HAVEN'T TOUCHED THAT YET.
I'M SUPER HAPPY IN THE WORK YOU PUT IN AND THE REST OF THE GUYS.
OUR NEXT QUESTION IS THOUGH, YOU KNOW IT'S COMING BECAUSE I PAY ATTENTION IS GOING TO BE THE RED LIGHTS.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WARRANT. I DON'T SEE A REASON.
WE ALL KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE THE SERVICE ROAD.
>> WE DESIGNED THIS PROJECT RIGHT GUYS AND WANTED TO GET THAT OUT TO HELP COLLIN COUNTY TO WIN THIS PROJECT.
WE WERE REALLY EAGER IN WORKING WITH GREG PETERS, AND JOANNA AND I PUT TOGETHER THE SUBMITTAL FOR THE COLLIN COUNTY CALL FOR PROJECTS.
IN THAT, THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION OF A LOT WHATSOEVER.
THE COLLIN COUNTY DID REVIEW THE OUTER LOOP PLANS.
THEY WANTED SOME TURN LANES COMING TO IT.
WITH THIS PROJECT, I KNOW YOU GUYS SHOWED YOU THE ROAD, BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME TURN LANES PUT IN AS WELL ON THE OUTER LOOP.
FOR RIGHT NOW I DON'T HAVE A STOP LIGHT COMING THERE ON THE SIDE.
I INCLUDED THE WATER TO STORM THE SEWER.
I AM PUTTING MEDIAN LIGHTS TO THE MEDIAN.
WE'RE ALSO HAVING TAPS FOR IRRIGATION AND MORE RAMPS.
WHEN WE DO SOME LANDSCAPING OUT THERE OUR GUYS HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT IN THAT IRRIGATION.
>> DO YOU THINK THIS ROAD, THIS MIGHT BE FOR GREG, MIGHT FIRE UP THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT AROUND THAT AREA HAVING THE UTILITIES ALREADY THERE?
I DO BELIEVE THAT PROVIDING THIS LEVEL OF INFRASTRUCTURE, [NOISE] IT'S GOING TO DEFINITELY DRAW INTEREST FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.
YOU HAVE A FOUR LANE DIVIDED ROADWAY WITH YOUR UNDERGROUND UTILITIES IN PLACE RIGHT THERE ALONG THE OUTER LOOP I THINK.
THERE'S THE POTENTIAL FOR OUR EDC TO REALLY BE ABLE TO START TO WORK WITH THE LANDOWNER, TRY TO BARK AT THAT.
>> ANYTHING ELSE COUNCIL? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE 7T.
>> MOTION BY MYSELF. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN TOTEN.
CONSIDER, DISCUSS ACTION ON A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE PHASE 2 DOWNTOWN UTILITY REHABILITATION PROJECT
[01:15:01]
AND SLATER CREEK ROAD WATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TO AN A SITE CONSTRUCTION.>> MR. MILLER, ONCE AGAIN, THE DOWNTOWN UTILITY REHAB BASE, WE JUST FINISHED UP SOME OF THAT WORK WITH THE GANS, FIFTH AND SEVEN.
WITH THE SLURRED FUNDS THAT WE HAD, I COULDN'T THROW IT ALL INTO ONE PROJECT.
SO YOU'LL NOTICE ONCE I START GOING THROUGH THE PROJECT LOCATIONS, THERE'S DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT ANNA THAT WE IDENTIFIED WITH NOT ONLY PUBLIC WORKS, BUT THE ANNA FIRE DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS, WHERE DO WE NEED THIS WATER INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES.
YOU KNOW, SLATER CREEK, A BUNCH OF MAIN BREAKS ON THAT, WE NEED TO GET THAT FIXED.
WE'RE WASTING TIME, FIXING A LITTLE TWO INCH MAIN.
THEY HAVE NO FIRE HYDRANTS OUT THERE, THEY NEED A BIG WATER MAIN, SO I'LL GO THROUGH THAT, THROUGH SOME OF THE SLIDES AND AT THE END, OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS.
AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS MAY HAVE.
SO THE FIRST PROJECT, THE PROJECT THAT WE DECIDED TO DO WAS ALONG 4TH STREET.
FOURTH STREET, RIGHT OUT HERE IN FRONT OF THE BUSINESSES, AND THEN ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
I MET WITH THE BUSINESS OWNERS DOWN THERE TO HELP MINIMIZE IMPACT ON THE BUSINESSES IN THE PLANS.
THE CONTRACTORS GOING TO BE DOING THIS WORK AT NIGHT.
I BELIEVE I HAVE IT SET UP FROM 11:00-7:00 PM, BEFORE THEY OPEN AND GET THAT ROAD BACK OPEN.
AND ONE THING WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IS BLOCK OFF A BUNCH OF THE PARKING FOR THE RESIDENTS, THE CROSS DOWN THERE, THE MAMA MIA'S.
WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. WE HAVE OUR TEXTILE PERMIT.
WE WILL BE BORN ACROSS HIGHWAY 5, REPLACING THAT.
ON THE EAST SIDE, THERE'S A TWO INCH LINE THAT RUNS DOWN THERE.
THERE'S NO FIRE HYDRANTS ON THAT PART OF FOURTH STREET.
AND I KNOW THERE ARE SOME POSSIBILITIES OF SOME DEVELOPMENTS OUT THERE.
SO WE WANT TO UPGRADE THAT WATER LINE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE YOU FIRE HYDRANTS FOR OUR FIREFIGHTERS IN THAT AREA.
THE SLATER CREEK ROAD, THIS PROJECT HAS A LITTLE BIT TWO INCH WATER IN THAT RUNS ALL THE WAY FROM FM 455 TO THE END OF SLATER CREEK.
WE'RE USING THE SUBDIVISION ART AND PARK WHERE THEY LEFT A STUB OUT IN AND THE CUT THAT LINE THE DISTANCE IN HALF.
>> WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUT SOME WATER LINE AND STILL PROVIDE THEM BETTER WATER AND A BIGGER MAIN.
AND THEN ONCE AGAIN, THESE GUYS, THESE RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS HAD NO FIRE HYDRANTS. THEY'RE ABLE TO HAVE THAT.
THERE'S A LOT OF MAIN BREAKS ON THAT TWO INCH LINE THAT ONCE WE DO AWAY WITH IT, OUR MAINTENANCE CREWS WERE PUBLIC WORKS ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND FIX THESE LINES ON SLATER CREEK ROAD.
ANOTHER PHASE OF THIS IS ON SECOND STREET AND AMORET CIRCLE.

THE PROJECT SCOPE. WITH THIS PROJECT, WE'RE PUTTING IN 2,400 LINEAR FEET OF EIGHT INCH WATER, OVER 1,000 FEET OF SIX INCH WATER, AND NINE BRAND NEW FIRE HYDRANTS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE.
PROJECT FUNDING IS FROM THE AMERICAN RECOVERY ACT INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT FUNDS.
FOUR BIDS WERE RECEIVED ON JANUARY 11, 2024 AND A SITE CONSTRUCTION WAS ONCE AGAIN OUR LOWEST BIDDER FOR THIS PROJECT SINCE THEY JUST FINISHED A WATER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT FORCE FOR THE US 75 UTILITY RELOCATIONS.
WE FEEL COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE LOWEST BID OUT OF THE FOUR THAT WE RECEIVED.
