NO DISCUSSION OR ACTION MAY BE TAKEN AT THIS MEETING ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THIS AGENDA, OTHER THAN TO MAKE STATEMENTS OF SPECIFIC INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO A CITIZEN'S INQUIRY, OR TO RECITE EXISTING POLICY IN RESPONSE TO THE INQUIRY.

I DO HAVE TWO CARDS UP HERE. FIRST ONE IS FROM MATT MARTIN DID NOT WISH TO SPEAK THIS EVENING.

REGARDING THE HURRICANE CREEK. OH DISANNEXATION MAKING HIMSELF AVAILABLE.

THANK YOU, MR. MARTIN. NEXT UP, TINA BROWN. GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS TINA BROWN, 2109 ADRIANA DRIVE IN ANNA.

AND THAT'S IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE. AND GOOD EVENING.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO THANK MARK MARCHAND FOR INVITING ME TO COME UP TO THE CITY ANNEX TO SPEAK WITH HIM ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

AND THANK YOU FOR STAYING LATE, TOO. AND I SENT OUT AN EMAIL TO THE COUNCIL AND TO MARK, IN REGARDS TO THE JPI APARTMENTS IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE, BECAUSE TINY BIT OF HISTORY IN THREE MINUTES THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD ACQUIESCED TO SOME CONCESSIONS.

ONE OF THEM WAS A TEN FOOT SETBACK. ANOTHER ONE WAS A PULL IN DRIVE, AND THEN A THIRD ONE WAS NO BALCONIES ON THE OUTSIDE PERIMETER OF THE COMPLEX. SO THEY'VE DONE THE TEN FOOT SETBACK.

THEY'VE DONE THE PULL IN DRIVE. BUT IF YOU TAKE A TAKE A LOOK AT THE APARTMENTS, THEY HAVE BUILT BALCONIES FACING THE RESIDENTS ON SHARP AND THEN ALSO ON FINLEY. SO I WANTED TO BE SURE AND BRING THAT TO Y'ALL'S ATTENTION.

THE APARTMENTS ARE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO REMOVE A BALCONY ANYWAY.

BUT THE OTHER THING IS ON LEONARD. SO, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THIS IS A REGULAR THING, BUT I NOTICED THERE'S A NEW DEVELOPMENT GOING IN, AND THEY'VE THEY'RE PUTTING UP THE PERIMETER.

AND THE PERIMETER OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS A WOODEN FENCE, AND I HADN'T REALLY LOOKED, BUT I GUESS I THOUGHT THAT A PERIMETER OF A DEVELOPMENT WAS USUALLY BRICK. SO THEN I WENT TO MCKINNEY TO THE MOVIES, LOOKED AROUND.

THAT'S NOT TRUE. BUT WHAT I DID NOTICE WAS THE BRICK PERIMETERS LOOK A WHOLE LOT NICER THAN A WOODEN PERIMETER.

SO THAT WAS MY SECOND EMAIL TO THE COUNCIL AND TO MARK.

AND THEN LASTLY I'VE SPOKEN BEFORE ON APARTMENTS DONE WITH APARTMENTS.

I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH. I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE CONCENTRATION ON COMMERCIAL GETTING BUSINESSES TO ANNA.

AND LET'S GET SOME PEOPLE SOME JOBS HERE. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU MA'AM. CAN I JUST ASK MARK A QUESTION? CAN YOU GET US INFORMATION ON THAT IF THERE WAS SUCH AN AGREEMENT WITH THE BALCONIES, ETC.? THANK YOU. AND JUST TO TAG ON THAT FOR THE WOOD FENCE PERIMETER CAN YOU GUYS ALSO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AS WELL?

[00:05:05]

[4. Reports.]

WE DO HAVE CHIEF ISOM WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND INTRODUCE SOMEONE TO US THIS EVENING.

MAYOR CAIN, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT. JUST A FEW QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THE FIRST OF WHICH IS OUR DEPARTMENT WILL BE MOVING TO THE ALTERNATE SHIFT SCHEDULE, THE 48/96, IN ABOUT SIX DAYS. SO IT'LL BE JANUARY 19TH. AND JUST KEEPING KEEPING IN MIND MY PRESENTATION A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ABOUT THAT STAFFING RATIO.

I DON'T WANT TO FORGET ABOUT THAT. THE OTHER IS WE HAVE HAD A PROMOTION AND WE HAVE ALSO BROUGHT A NEW PERSON ON BOARD. I'LL BEGIN WITH GALEN MAY HAVE SEEN GALEN IN THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE.

HE'S BEEN WITH US NOW FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. HE'S RECENTLY PROMOTED TO FIRE MARSHAL.

SO THAT'S NOW A DESIGNATED POSITION IN THE CITY.

SO I HANDED MY HAT OVER TO HIM ON THAT SINCE HE'S BEEN HERE, HE'S COMPLETED POLICE ACADEMY, AND HE'S REALLY DOVE INTO THE DEEP END OF THE POOL WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE AND PLAN REVIEWS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND REALLY HELPED US STREAMLINE SOME THINGS. AND ALSO HELPED US CONVERT OUR CONFERENCE ROOM INTO THE OFFICIAL FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE.

SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE NOW, NOT JUST AN AREA THAT WE CAN ALL GATHER AROUND AND TALK.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO GALEN. AND ALSO WANTED TO INTRODUCE TO YOU CURT HALL.

CURT HALL IS OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR NOW, SO I HANDED MY HAT OFF TO HIM LAST WEEK AS WELL.

SO HE WAS THE DIRECTOR OF SAFETY, SECURITY AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT THAT TIOGA ISD MOST RECENTLY.

BUT HIS LEADERSHIP ROLES GO BACK 25 YEARS TO SOUTHLAKE, ALLEN, ADDISON.

CURT HOLDS A PHD FROM UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT DALLAS AND IS ALSO A MASTER PEACE OFFICER.

SO WE'RE CERTAINLY LUCKY TO HAVE HIM LEADING OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS NOW.

SO WITH THAT, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US AND HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU CHIEF.

[APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM 5, WORK SESSION. 5.A PRESENTATION FROM HILLTOP SECURITIES INCORPORATED REGARDING SHERLEY

[5. Work Session.]

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, MR. COTTON. ALRIGHTY THANK YOU.

HI. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, COUNCIL. ANDRE AYALA WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES.

THIS EVENING I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE SHERLEY FARMS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

YOU MAY RECALL THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS UP.

ALL RIGHT PRIMARILY A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THAT WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF ANNA IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR.

THE CITY CREATED A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT CALLED THE SHERLEY FARMS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

PURSUANT TO THAT AGREEMENT THAT THE CITY EXECUTED BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2024.

SUCH AGREEMENT INCLUDES THE CITY FACILITATING THE FINANCING OF CERTAIN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS WITH SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS TO FINANCE THOSE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS.

AND THAT IS WHAT I'M DISCUSSING TONIGHT. SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS WHAT WE CALL IMPROVEMENT AREA 1, WHICH IS THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PROJECT. THE DEVELOPER HAS INDICATED THAT THEY ARE ASKING THE CITY TO FINANCE 418 LOTS.

AND THOSE ARE A VARIETY OF 45S TO 70S. THE AVERAGE EXPECTED HOME PRICE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PHASE IS ABOUT $573,000.

THAT GENERATES ABOUT $1.2 MILLION IN PROPERTY TAX REVENUE FOR THE CITY.

HOWEVER, IN THAT AGREEMENT, THE CITY AGREED TO PARTICIPATE AT 50% OF ITS TAX RATE TO INCENTIVIZE THESE PEOPLE TO COME INTO ANNA.

SO THE NET AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES THAT ARE EXPECTED TO BE GENERATED JUST BY IMPROVEMENT AREA 1 ONLY, NOT THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROJECT, JUST THAT PARTICULAR PHASE IS ABOUT $630,000 PER YEAR.

AND IN THE IN THE SCREEN YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE COMPOSITION OF WHAT IMPROVEMENT AREA 1 IS, AGAIN, FOR 118 LOTS, A VARIETY OF 45S AND 70S, THE LOW PRICE POINT'S $477,000.

[00:10:01]

OUR JOB AS YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER YOU DO IS WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THAT AGREEMENT.

SO WHEN WE PUT TOGETHER THE NUMBERS, WE DERIVED AN APPROXIMATE $33,950,000 ASSESSMENT, WHICH WOULD BE A BOND FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA 1, ONLY. THAT BOND COUNCIL, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BONDS THAT YOU HAVE ENTERTAINED BEFORE, WOULD BE ONLY SECURED BY SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS LEVIED WITHIN IMPROVEMENT AREA 1 OF THAT PARTICULAR PIN, NOTHING ELSE. SO THE CITY'S TAX RATE, ENTERPRISE FUNDS OR OTHER REVENUES THAT THE CITY TAKES IN DO NOT SECURE THE BONDS.

AND THE BOND HOLDERS UNDERSTAND THAT IS THE CASE.

THE ONLY THING SECURING THIS BOND IS SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS LEVIED AND COLLECTED WITHIN IMPROVEMENT AREA 1.

NOW WE DO HAVE THAT TAX INCREMENT ZONE PARTICIPATION HERE THAT BECOMES A CREDIT ON THE ASSESSMENT.

SO WHENEVER THAT VALUE COMES IN YOU CREDIT THE ASSESSMENT DOWN.

SO THE PROPERTY OWNERS PAY A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN WHAT THE FACE VALUE OF THE ASSESSMENT WOULD BE. WE PUT TOGETHER OUR SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS AND THESE ARE APPROXIMATE NUMBERS RIGHT NOW. COUNCIL THIS NUMBER MAY MOVE. AND IF IT DOES IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO MOVE DOWN, NOT UP.

BUT THIS IS JUST AN APPROXIMATION. SO IT'S $33,150,000.

AND THE AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE REPORTS FROM ENGINEERING AND ASSESSMENT CONSULTANTS ARE ABOUT $27.4 MILLION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS TO BE FINANCED VIA THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND ISSUANCE OF BONDS FOR THIS PROJECT.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAVE OTHER CATEGORIES. YOU'VE SEEN THESE BEFORE, SO WE HAVE AN ALLOCATION OF THE BOND PROCEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THE INTEREST ACCRUAL BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, BECAUSE WE KNOW WE DIDN'T LEVY ASSESSMENTS THIS FISCAL YEAR. WE HAVE A RESERVE THAT COVERS THE BONDS.

THAT'S ONE YEAR'S WORTH OF PAYMENTS. WE HAVE THE FINANCING COST, WHICH INCLUDES BOND UNDERWRITING, LEGAL FEES, ALL THE FEES INCLUDED IN THERE. AND THEN WE HAVE A SMALL ALLOCATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FUND BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THE CITY TO SUBSIDIZE ANYTHING. SO WE TAKE A PORTION OF THE BONDS, PUT IT IN AN ADMINISTRATIVE ACCOUNT TO COVER THE COSTS FOR TWO YEARS.

SO IT'S USUALLY ABOUT $40,000. WE'RE PUTTING TWO YEARS OF ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES OUT OF THE BOND PROCEEDS IN THERE.

SO STATISTICS THAT WE PUT TOGETHER HERE, COUNCIL IS A 30 YEAR BOND JUST AS PER YOUR AGREEMENT.

SO THE FINAL MATURITY OF THIS BOND IS EXPECTED TO BE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2056.

WE ARE RUNNING THIS NUMBERS AT 6%. SO THE MARKET HAS BEEN MOVING RECENTLY.

WHEN WE PUT TOGETHER THESE NUMBERS, THE MARKET WAS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. SO IF WE WERE TO PRICE TODAY WE COULD PROBABLY SEE AN INTEREST RATE UNDER 6%.

BUT AGAIN OUR BUDGET IS 6% FOR NOW, WE HAVE A DEBT TO VALUE RATIO.

I'M SORRY, A VALUE TO DEBT RATIO OF 1.75 TIMES, WHICH IS WHICH IS THE COVERAGE OF THE OF THE VALUE OF THE PROJECT AGAINST THE DEBT FOR 118 LOTS. AS I MENTIONED, THAT'S AN AVERAGE LIEN OF ABOUT $81,000.

WE HAVE AN AVERAGE TAX RATE ASSESSMENT OF ABOUT 1.10% THAT THE CEILING IN YOUR AGREEMENT IS 1.35%.

SO WE'RE WELL UNDER THAT. WE HAVE A PARTICIPATION FROM THE CITY WHENEVER THAT VALUE COMES IN.

AND THAT IS ON A PARCEL BY PARCEL BASIS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ONE PARCEL SUBSIDIZING ANOTHER.

SO THAT WOULD BRING DOWN THE NET ASSESSMENT ABOUT 84 PENNIES ON AVERAGE.

BECAUSE THESE ARE MORE HIGH VALUE HOMES, IT'S ABOUT $4,800 PER YEAR.

AND THE FIRST PAYMENT WOULD BE DUE IN JANUARY OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

BECAUSE AGAIN THIS YEAR WE DIDN'T LEVY ASSESSMENTS. SO YOU WOULD BE ASKED TO DO THAT IN THE SUMMER OF 26 FOR COLLECTIONS IN JANUARY OF 2027.

AND AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST PRELIMINARY STATISTICS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BUDGETED FOR NOW. AS FAR AS TIMELINE COUNCIL, THIS IS JUST AGAIN A PRESENTATION FOR YOU TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE UPCOMING LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS AND ISSUANCE OF BONDS.

SO INITIALLY WE WE HAD THIS. THIS TIMELINE THAT IS GOING TO SHIFT BY TWO WEEKS.

WE HAVE SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO FIX IN THE ASSESSMENT PLAN BASED ON ENGINEERING INPUT AND APPRAISALS AND WHATNOT.

SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS GOING TO BE SHIFTED BY TWO WEEKS.

SO THE JANUARY 27TH ITEM IS NOW GOING TO BE FEBRUARY 10TH.

THE FEBRUARY 10TH ITEM, WHICH IS WHEN YOU WOULD BE ASKED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER THE LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS AND THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS THAT MOVES TO FEBRUARY 24TH AND THEN THE CLOSING, BECAUSE WE'RE NOW ISSUING LATE IN FEBRUARY, WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO DO IT TOWARDS MID TO LATE MARCH.

AND WE'LL ASK THE ATTORNEYS TO GUIDE US ON WHAT THE APPROPRIATE CLOSING DATE SHOULD BE FOR THAT. WITH THAT COUNCIL, I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THIS PRELIMINARY PLAN OF FINANCE FOR SHERLEY FARMS. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ANDRE, I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

CAN YOU GO BACK TO PAGE FOUR, PLEASE? THERE WE GO.

FOR THE TERM OF THIS, YOU KNOW, IT ALL SOUNDS LIKE REALLY BIG NUMBERS GOING IN.

BUT THINKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE TERM OF THIS DECISION.

I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DEEPER CONVERSATION ABOUT PIDS WITH THEIR OTHER COUNSEL HERE IN A FEW WEEKS.

[00:15:07]

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE VALUES OF THE HOMES? YEAH. THE VALUES, AS WELL AS THE. AS WELL AS THAT 12.

THAT $1.2 MILLION, IN RELATION TO THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT.

SO I'LL TAKE THE FIRST QUESTION. I THINK THAT THIS ONE WOULD BE ABOVE AVERAGE. OKAY BONDED. SO THAT WOULD BE THE ANSWER TO THAT ONE.

AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, JUST LOOKING AT THIS CHART, THE PARTICIPATION, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BECOME RATHER COMMON FOR CITIES TO INCENTIVIZE OTHER PEOPLE TO COME INTO THE CITY.

SURE DO WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH THESE DEVELOPERS SO THEY DEVELOP IN THE CITY VERSUS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY? WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR THEM TO DO THAT? IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IT IS A 50%.

THAT IS NOT UNCOMMON AT ALL. OKAY. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS WITHIN RANGE.

GLAD TO HEAR IT. THANKS. AND DID I ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS? A COUPLE QUESTIONS HERE. SO FIRST OBSERVATION SO THE AVERAGE SALES PRICE IN ANNA IS ABOUT $360K.

SO I DO APPRECIATE THIS. THIS DOES HELP LIFT UP THE OVERALL SALES PRICE IN ANNA AS WELL.

IT'S A GOOD STEPPING STONE TO SOME BIGGER LOTS.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH. SO FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS WORKING OUT TO ABOUT $400 A MONTH FOR PID COSTS THAT WILL BE ADDITIONAL FOR EVERY HOUSE THERE.

SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE, COUNCILMAN IS SORRY, THE OTHER WAY.

WE HAVE AN EXPECTED AVERAGE PAYMENT OF ABOUT $4,800 PER YEAR.

SO THAT'S SO THAT'S ONE THING. YOU KNOW, I WANT US TO KEEP IN MIND MOVING FORWARD, IS THAT WE STILL ARE AT THE END OF THE DAY PUTTING A BURDEN, YOU KNOW, MONETARY BURDEN ON THE RESIDENTS. YOU KNOW, FOR THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE.

BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COGNIZANT OF THAT MOVING FORWARD THAT ANYTIME WE UNDERDO OR, YOU KNOW, UNDERTAKE A PID IT'S A SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.

AND IT'S A REAL BURDEN THAT WE'RE PUTTING ON THOSE RESIDENTS AS WELL.

THANK YOU. OTHERWISE GREAT JOB. GOOD NUMBERS.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU MAYOR. ALL RIGHT THAT'LL TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM 6.

[6. Consent Items.]

ITEMS MAY BE CONSIDERED AN INDIVIDUAL BY ANY COUNCIL MEMBER MAKING SUCH REQUESTS PRIOR TO A MOTION AND VOTE ON THE CONSENT ITEMS. DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6 A THROUGH D.

I SECOND. HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. TAKES US TO AGENDA ITEM 7 ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION AND PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[7. Items For Individual Consideration and Public Hearings.]

BEFORE WE GOT STARTED, THE STAFF HAD TOLD ME, WE'RE DOING.

WHAT ARE WE PULLING 1 OR 2 OF THESE? IS IT, WHICH ONE IS IT? THREE GOT YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT WE WILL START WITH AGENDA ITEM A CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER DISCUSSING, ACT ON AN ORDINANCE REGARDING THE ANNEXATION OF SIX ACRES FOR HURRICANE CREEK COUNTRY CLUB.

MS. LAUREN MECKE. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. THIS ITEM IS SIX ACRES LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF US HIGHWAY 75.

IT'S THE ENTRANCE OF THE HURRICANE CREEK GOLF COUNTRY CLUB AND GOLF COURSE.

IN OCTOBER, CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF ANNA ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE GRAYSON-COLLIN RECREATIONAL ASSOCIATION, INCORPORATED, THAT THEY WOULD NOT LEAVE OUR ETJ.

AND IN EXCHANGE, WE WOULD DISANNEX THE PROPERTY.

THIS SIX ACRES WAS ANNEXED IN 1971. IT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL MANTUA DEVELOPMENT.

AND AS PART OF THE LIBERTY HILLS DEVELOPMENT, WAS SOLD TO THE GOLF COURSE.

THIS ITEM IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AGREEMENT.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO OPEN THIS PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:27 P.M.

I DON'T HAVE ANY SPEAKER FORMS ON THIS. IS LAND.

[00:20:04]

COUNCIL QUESTIONS. COMMENTS. CONCERNS. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION.

CURRENTLY THERE IS NO IMPROVED TAX GENERATING FACILITY OR ANYTHING ON THIS PROPERTY, AND THE PLAN IS THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE PUTTING ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE.

SO CURRENTLY THE PROPERTY HAS AN AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTION.

THE GOLF COURSE IS UNDERGOING A MAJOR RENOVATION OF THEIR ENTIRE PROPERTY AND WILL BE INCORPORATING THE SIX ACRES INTO THE NEW GOLF COURSE.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO THAT, THAT IF IT STAYED WITHIN THE CITY, THAT WOULD GENERATE ANY KIND OF TAX REVENUE ANYWAY.

CORRECT? CORRECT. ANYONE ELSE? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

ITEM PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. TAKES US TO ITEM B. CLERK DO WE NEED TO READ THROUGH ALL THIS OR JUST MOVE TO MOVE IT TO A DIFFERENT DATE? YOU CAN REFER TO IT BY THE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER OKAY. ANYBODY HAVE THAT MOTION THAT THEY GO AHEAD AND LIKE TO MAKE.

I MOTION THAT WE MOVE ITEM 7.B TO THE JANUARY 27TH MEETING.

B AS IN BRAVO. OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION. I SECOND THAT MOTION.

MOTION AND A SECOND. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

THIS SAYS FEBRUARY 10TH. IS THAT INTENTIONAL? JANUARY 27TH. OKAY IT'LL GET MOVED. YEAH. YEAH. SO IT APPEARS DIFFERENT ON THAT SCREEN THAN IT DOES THIS SCREEN.

SO YES, THE AS, AS ANDRE WAS MENTIONING, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS IN THIS TONIGHT WAS TO CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 10TH.

SO WHEN YOU SEE THIS ITEM ON THE 27TH, THAT FEBRUARY 10TH DATE WILL BE MOVED TO FEBRUARY 24TH.

SO THIS ITEM WILL HAVE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO IT.

BUT WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TONIGHT IS, AS ANDRE MENTIONED, DUE TO APPRAISALS AND SOME OTHER ELBC THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON, WE WEREN'T QUITE READY TO HAVE THIS HEARD TONIGHT.

SO THEY HAVE ASKED TO MOVE THIS TO A DATE CERTAIN IN TWO WEEKS AND THEN ALL THE OTHER DATES.

THE FIRST MEETING IN FEBRUARY WILL BE BRINGING THE PLUM TO YOU INSTEAD OF THE SECOND MEETING IN JANUARY, AND THEN THE SECOND MEETING IN FEBRUARY WE'LL BE DOING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ACTUAL CREATION OF THE PID.

I UNDERSTAND. YES, SIR. I KNOW EVERYBODY ELSE CAN'T SEE OUR SCREENS, BUT IT'S IT'S BURIED ON THERE AND WE GOT IT.

[LAUGHTER].

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 7.C CONSIDER, DISCUSS AND ACT ON A RESOLUTION ENTERING INTO A MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT REGARDING 2.4 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES, LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF LEONARD AVENUE 189 PLUS OR MINUS FEET, SOUTH OF GARDENDALE HOLLOW.

ANX 25-0007 KALEB KENTNER. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

GOOD TO BE HERE. AND YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKETS THE COMPLETE STAFF REPORT THAT OUTLINES THIS REQUEST.

THESE NEXT THREE ITEMS ALL GO TOGETHER. AND BUT THE FIRST OF THOSE IS FIRST, THE RESOLUTION AND THE PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THIS ANNEXATION AS IN THIS IS A STANDARD AGREEMENT THAT IS ENCLOSED AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY.

COUNCIL. IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND. MOTION AND A SECOND IF YOU WOULD PLEASE

[00:25:06]

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 7.D CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDER DISCUSS AND ACT ON AN ORDINANCE FOR ANNEXATION OF 2.4 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF LEONARD AVENUE 189 PLUS OR MINUS FEET, SOUTH OF GARDENDALE HOLLOW.

ANX 25-0007 MR. KENTNER. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU THIS REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION OF THIS PROPERTY TO BE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY LIMITS. THIS IS A LITTLE UNIQUE.

THIS IS A STANDARD, JUST STRAIGHTFORWARD VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION REQUEST FOR THE PROPERTY.

AND YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET THE COMPLETE STAFF REPORT THAT OUTLINES THIS REQUEST TO ANNEX THIS PROPERTY.

THEIR INTENT IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS THE NEXT ACTION.

AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO PUT A DAYCARE CENTER ON THIS PROPERTY, WHICH HAS OTHER STEPS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER FOR ALL OF THAT TO HAPPEN.

BUT THIS IS THE NEXT STEP BEFORE YOU IS THEIR REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION.

ANY QUESTIONS? I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY. ALL RIGHT.

I'M GOING TO OPEN OUR PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:33 P.M.

I HAVE NO CARDS ON THIS. NOTHING AT THE DESK.

FINAL CALL. CLOSING OUR PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:33 P.M.

COUNCIL QUESTIONS. COMMENTS. MOTIONS. QUESTION FOR YOU.

SO I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE REZONING OR ANYTHING.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH. WE HAVE A DAYCARE THAT WAS APPROVED IN A IN A SLIGHTLY SIMILAR, SIMILAR MANNER WITHOUT THE ANNEXATION. BUT THAT PROJECT ENDED UP STALLING OUT, AND IT'S JUST SITTING THERE.

IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO PERFORMANCE RELATED, ANY TYPE OF CLAWBACK, ANY? DO WE HAVE ANY TEETH IN CASE THE PROJECT DOESN'T GO THROUGH OR THEIR FINANCING COLLAPSES? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. RIGHT NOW THE PROCESS IS, IS THIS IS JUST THE ANNEXATION.

THE NEXT WILL BE THE REZONING OF THE PROPERTY.

IT DOES REQUIRE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. THAT DOES THAT AT THAT POINT WE CAN CONSIDER STIPULATIONS ON THAT, TIMING OF THAT. AS PART OF THAT. SO THAT WOULD BE THE PLACE TO REQUEST THAT AND DETAILS ON THAT COMING FORTH BECAUSE, YEAH, ONE THING WE DON'T LIKE TO SEE IS THOSE THESE PROJECTS, GREAT PROJECTS, AS THEY MAY HAVE BEEN AT THE TIME, BUT THEN THEY STALL OUT OVER TIME, IS AND WE REALLY WANT TO SEE THAT PROACTIVE DEVELOPMENT OCCUR AS THEY GO THROUGH OUR PROCESSES AND WE ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR.

AND SO RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP FOR US TO CATCH THAT IS, IS TO IS TO REQUIRE THAT A LOT OF TIMES WE LOSE CONTROL AS SOON AS THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS THEIR ZONING AND THINGS. IF THEY WANT TO SET ON IT FOR TEN YEARS AND NOT DO ANYTHING, OR IN SOME INSTANCES THEY START AND IT STALLS OUT, IT BECOMES A PROBLEM FOR US FOR ENFORCEMENT SO.

OKAY. AND ANOTHER THING ARE WE GIVING UP ANYTHING FOR THIS VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION? ARE WE GIVING UP ANYTHING FOR THIS? AND ACTUALLY, THIS IS A UNIQUE SITUATION IN THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT REQUEST WITH IT. SO WITH THIS ANNEXATION TAKING PLACE THERE, THERE YOUR NEXT ACTION IS YOUR NEXT ACTION ON THAT. AND BUT THERE IS THIS IS JUST A STRAIGHT VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION REQUEST.

PERFECT. SO ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE NOT GIVING UP ANYTHING.

THEY'RE NOT REALLY REQUESTING ANYTHING OTHER THAN THEY JUST WANT TO ANNEXED INTO THE CITY.

THAT'S EASY. CORRECT. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.

IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM E CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDER DISCUSS AND ACT ON AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING ZONING OF 2.4 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF LEONARD AVENUE, 189 PLUS OR MINUS FEET SOUTH OF GARDENDALE HOLLOW TO LOCAL COMMERCIAL C-1 DISTRICT ZONING 25-0004 MR. KENTNER. YES, YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THE COMPLETE STAFF REPORT THAT OUTLINES THIS REQUEST.

THIS IS TO CONSIDER REZONING OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS JUST ANNEXED INTO THE CITY.

AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO REZONE THAT TO C-1. YOU CAN SEE THE SURROUNDING ZONING OF THAT AREA.

THIS DID GO BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AT THEIR DECEMBER 1ST, 2025 MEETING,

[00:30:06]

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY.

I'M GONNA OPEN OUR PUBLIC HEARING 6:37 P.M. NO CARDS HERE OR THERE, ANYONE? LAST CALL. CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:37 P.M.

COUNCIL. I DO HAVE A QUESTION. SO WITH THE ZONING CHANGE, COULD THEY.

COULD ANYONE WHO COMES IN AND OWNS THIS PROPERTY, COULD THEY DEVELOP ANY OTHER APARTMENTS MULTIFAMILY ON HERE? THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. BECAUSE, YES.

THIS WILL BE ZONED C-1. AND ANY USES ALLOWED.

PERMITTED USES ALLOWED IN THE C-1 WOULD BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN THAT AREA.

AND THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO APPLY FOR ANY SPECIFIC USE PERMITS AND GO THROUGH THE NECESSARY PROCESS FOR THAT.

AND SO, YES YOUR ZONING. ZONING IS YOUR POWER AND THE POWER THAT THE CITY HOLDS TO HELP CONTROL AND ENCOURAGE GROWTH IN CERTAIN AREAS. AND SO YES, ANY USE PERMITTED IN THAT AREA WOULD BE ALLOWED.

IS THERE ANY OTHER OPTION WE HAVE TO PREVENT THAT? AT AT THIS POINT WOULD BE NOT TO REZONE IT AT THIS TIME UNTIL THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC PROJECT.

THAT WOULD BE MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION TO YOU WOULD BE IS IF YOU WEREN'T COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, THAT WOULD BE THE STEP THAT YOU COULD GO WITH.

NOW, IF WE WENT DOWN THAT PATH, HYPOTHETICALLY.

DOES THAT CAUSE ANY OTHER SECOND, THIRD ORDER EFFECTS? IS THERE ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT OCCUR BECAUSE OF THAT? THE IMPACTS WITH THAT IS THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE REPUBLICATION PROCESS AND THE ZONING MEETING, ALL THE PUBLICATION NOTICE NOTIFICATION TO NEIGHBORS AND THOSE THINGS.

AND THEY WOULD GO THROUGH THAT JUST AS THEY, THEY WENT THROUGH THIS AGAIN.

AND I WOULD SAY, IF YOU WERE TO MAKE THAT DECISION OR RECOMMENDATION ON THAT, I WOULD I WOULD WAIVE THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS PROPERTY DEVELOPED AS COMMERCIAL. IT'S JUST WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT EXACTLY IT IS, WITHOUT A WRITTEN COMMITMENT, THERE'S NO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED WITH ALL THE ENTITLEMENTS THAT WOULD COME WITH THAT.

SO YOUR YOUR STRONGEST POWER THAT YOU HAVE WOULD BE, WOULD BE TO NECESSARILY HOLD OFF UNTIL THEY'RE READY TO FILE THEIR PLAT, THEIR ZONING AND, AND THEIR SITE PLAN AT THE SAME TIME.

PERFECT. YOU EXPLAINED THAT VERY ELOQUENTLY, BECAUSE THE REASON FOR THOSE IN THE CROWD AND ANYONE WATCHING AT HOME IS THIS IS A SIMILAR SITUATION THAT CREATED ANNA TOWN SQUARE, WHERE ZONING WAS APPROVED BEFORE KNOWING WHAT THE ACTUAL PRODUCT WAS GOING TO COME IN.

SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE INTENTIONAL AND THAT WE'RE PREVENTATIVE OF THAT.

ONE FINAL QUESTION. WOULD IT BE PRUDENT FOR US TO POSSIBLY OFFER A DEVELOPER AGREEMENT OR SOMETHING JUST TO LOCK THAT IN? OR SOME TYPE OF I'M JUST THINKING HERE OUT LOUD.

YEAH. PDA MAYBE. I BELIEVE THEY THEIR INTEREST, THEIR SOLE INTEREST IS FOR A DAYCARE FACILITY THAT'S THERE.

AND I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE.

THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD QUESTION TO ASK FOR THEM.

IS THIS. OR IF YOU WERE TO TABLE THIS REQUEST, DOES THAT GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME TO PROCEED WITH THEIR SITE PLAN AND THEIR PLAT SO THAT IT COMES BACK FOR YOU AS A COMPLETE PROJECT FOR YOU TO CONSIDER.

THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? BECAUSE IF WE APPROVE THIS AS IS, IT JUST OPENS THE FLOODGATE FOR APARTMENTS AND MULTIFAMILY.

YEAH. THE NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE MULTIFAMILY SIDE, BUT IT WOULD OPEN THE DOOR FOR ANY OF THOSE COMMERCIAL USES THAT WOULD BE THERE.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT OKAY THAT COULD PROBABLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION BETTER AS FAR AS IF THIS IF THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TODAY, IF THAT TIMING OR REQUIRE ANYTHING ELSE FOR THEM IN THEIR IN THEIR PROJECT SCOPE OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU FOR COMING UP. YEAH HEY.

GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JULIAN CASTILLO. I'M WITH VASQUEZ ENGINEERING. I'M REPRESENTING BOTH THE OWNER AND THE DEVELOPER OF THIS PROPERTY.

THE OWNER, LIKE WE'VE GONE THROUGH IN THE PREVIOUS, WAS WANTING TO ANNEX THE PROPERTY INTO THE SITE. SO THAT WAY WE CAN UTILIZE THE CITY SERVICES. SO THOSE WERE THE FIRST TWO ITEMS. NOW WE'RE INTO THE ZONING BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE ZONING ANNEXING IN.

C-1 WAS OUR STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO GET THE DAYCARE IN.

AND AS YOU MENTIONED YOU KNOW IT WON'T CONTAIN MULTIFAMILY.

WE ALREADY DO HAVE THE PROJECT IN LINE TO BE A DAYCARE.

WE JUST HAVEN'T MOVED ON TO THE NEXT STEP BECAUSE WE WANTED TO JUST GET THIS GOING. WE NEEDED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO PUT TOGETHER THE FULL SITE PLAN THAT WE WOULD BE

[00:35:08]

SO WOULD IT BE PRUDENT FOR US TO MAYBE TABLE THIS AND ALLOW YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP THAT PACKAGE? AND IF THAT IS.

WE CAN'T WE NEED THE ZONING BEFORE THE SUP. OH THAT'S FAIR.

OKAY. SO IF YOU GUYS ARE CONFIDENT AND YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO TAKE THE I'M GOING TO TAKE THE TEAM'S WORD ON IT.

IF C-1 DOES NOT ALLOW ANY TYPE OF APARTMENTS I'M OKAY WITH IT.

THAT'S MY MAIN CONCERN, IS THAT IT DOESN'T LEAVE ANY TYPE OF LOOPHOLE OPEN FOR US TO WHERE, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING YOU WILL, BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE REZONE, FLIP THE PROPERTY AND THEN A NEW OWNER COMES IN AND SUDDENLY INTENTIONS CHANGE.

NO, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. AND THE PROPERTY ITSELF IS FAIRLY SMALL ITSELF. I CAN'T IMAGINE, YOU KNOW, APARTMENT GOING IN, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND WE DO HAVE THE DEVELOPER IS FULLY INTENT ON MOVING QUICKLY.

SO IF WE CAN GET THIS IN, THEY WANT TO HAVE CONSTRUCTION STARTED BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

PERFECT. WELL, YOU KNOW, SINCERELY THANK THEM FOR, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERING US AND YOU KNOW WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THEM.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. GREAT. GREAT ANSWERS GUYS. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? BEFORE WE DO THAT. COUNCIL I'M CONCERNED THAT.

THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN WROUGHT WITH DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE BY PREVIOUS COUNCILS.

I DON'T WANT TO APPROVE SOMETHING UNTIL WE HAVE SOMETHING ROCK SOLID.

IT'S. IT'S. WELL, WE HAD A SPEAKER, A NEIGHBOR'S COMMENT EARLIER OF ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THIS AREA. I'D RATHER WE KEEP OUR NEIGHBORS.

AND THIS AND WHATEVER COUNCIL VOTES ON THIS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

ALSO, I WILL READ. I KNOW A LOT OF Y'ALL WEREN'T ON THE COUNCIL AT THE TIME.

THE FIRST DAYCARE THAT WENT IN THERE WAS HIGHLY CONTENTIOUS, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM ANNA TOWN SQUARE ABOUT THIS.

SO I THINK WE NEED TO PUMP THE BRAKES. SO THE MAIN CONCERN THAT I HAD WAS, YOU KNOW, THE APARTMENTS AND THE MULTIFAMILY, RIGHT. SO AS LONG AS THAT'S ADDRESSED I JUST WANT TO BE COGNIZANT THAT IF WE PAUSE ANYTHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE OWNER UNDERSTANDS THAT HE'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE SOME DELAYS IN GETTING, YOU KNOW, ANY FINANCING OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT HE NEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD. SO AS LONG AS HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT OUR INTENTIONS ARE I'M FINE WITH DELAYING IT.

THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE DAYCARE THE QUESTION WAS, AM I CONCERNED THERE WILL BE SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN A DAYCARE? YES.

[LAUGHTER]. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE BEEN PRESENTED WITH.

OH, BY THE WAY, THIS ZONING ALSO ALLOWS FOR SUCH AND SUCH AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I'D RATHER HAVE A ROCK SOLID PLAN SHOW UP BEFORE US THAT THE NEIGHBORS CAN SEE AND SAY YES, WE WANT THAT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD NEXT TO A SCHOOL, VERSUS LAYING OUT A YET ANOTHER DECISION THAT BITES US IN THE BUTT. YES, SIR. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF ZONING FOR THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT, SO KENTNER. WHENEVER POSSIBLE THE DEFAULT ZONING IS OUR AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT UNLESS IT IS WITH A COMPANION ZONING CASE.

I'VE DONE A LOT OF PACKAGES AND WE'VE GONE BEFORE THE CITY AND REQUESTED IT.

SO I, I THINK THAT THERE'S STILL IF THIS IS WHAT THIS PERSON WANTS TO DEVELOP, I KNOW THAT HE CAN GET THROUGH THE HURDLES, IF YOU WILL. BUT MY ANSWER IS NO, I AM NOT APPROVING THIS.

NOT IN NOT IN A BLANK CHECK FORM. QUESTION FOR YOU.

TABLING THIS TO A MEETING IN FEBRUARY. WOULD THAT BE THE PROPER THING TO DO RIGHT HERE, CONSIDERING THE CONCERNS THAT WE'RE HAVING? IF THE PROJECT WAS TABLED TO THAT DATE, CERTAIN IN TIME, THERE WOULD BE THERE'S NO PROBLEM WITH DOING THAT IF IF THE APPLICANT WAS ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND WE WOULD STILL HAVE TO ADVERTISE FOR THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, BUT HE COULD PROCEED WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT AND A SITE PLAN IF THEY WOULD, IF THEY COULD BE READY BY THAT TIME, OR IF THE DEVELOPER WOULD AGREE TO A SPECIFIC DATE.

[00:40:03]

OR. MARCH, PROBABLY. AND THAT THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE, FOR THE APPLICANT IS IF THEY COULD HAVE THEIR SITE PLAN AND THEIR SPECIFIC USE OR SO I'D HAVE TO GET BACK WITH THE DEVELOPER, BECAUSE THE INTENTION RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE THERE ARE TWO ENTITIES, LIKE I MENTIONED, WHERE I'M REPRESENTING THE OWNER AND THE DEVELOPER.

THE OWNER IS SELLING THE PROPERTY TO THE DEVELOPER POST THIS ANNEXATION THAT WE GOT APPROVED TONIGHT.

SO DEPENDING ON HOW THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER THAT, BECAUSE WE WANT TO.

WE'RE HOPING TO MOVE FORWARD THAT WAY ONCE THE ZONING WAS APPROVED TONIGHT, HOPEFULLY THAT WE COULD JUST IMMEDIATELY START THE SUP AND SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL FOR THE DAYCARE IMMEDIATELY WITH THE DEVELOPER AS THE OWNER.

SO I JUST WANT TO SEE HOW THEY WANT TO PROCEED SINCE WE'RE STILL SHORT OF THE ZONING.

HOW THEY WANT TO PROCEED IF IT'S A SALE SO THAT THEY MAY NOT GO THROUGH WITH OR HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED.

BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'LL NEED TO GET BACK WITH.

BUT MOVING ON. OH I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY ME AND MY HUSBAND ARE THE OWNERS.

PLEASE, PLEASE. SORRY. PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS REAL QUICK.

FOR THE RECORD, CATHERINE MCMENEMY. AND THAT'S 3020 COUNTY ROAD 422, WHICH IS LEONARD.

WE'RE THE ONLY 422 LEFT. WE ALREADY HAVE A CONTRACT.

WE'VE HAD A CONTRACT FROM THIS BUSINESS SINCE LAST MAY, AND IT'S JUST BEEN A WE THEY HAVE TO DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AND THIS IS PART OF IT. AND WE'RE STILL UNDER THAT CONTRACT.

SO IN YOUR DEFENSE, I UNDERSTAND. BUT MY BACKYARD IS A FOOTBALL FIELD.

AND. IT USED TO BE A FIELD FULL OF CORN. SO YOU KNOW, WE KNEW THE SCHOOL WAS GOING TO HAVE THE, THE ISD WAS GOING TO HAVE TWO SCHOOLS RIGHT THERE.

AND BUT AT THE TIME THAT IT ALL HAPPENED, WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE A FOOTBALL FIELD, LITERALLY IN MY BACKYARD. AND SO WE NEED TO GO.

AND SO TO GO. IT'S A VERY SMALL PIECE OF PROPERTY.

AND WE DON'T SEE VERY MUCH USE OTHER THAN VERY SMALL.

C-1, AS LAUREN HAS EXPLAINED TO US AND THESE GUYS WITH THE DAYCARE JUST SOUNDED LIKE THE PERFECT FIT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT I WAS HERE, TOO.

I APPRECIATE YOU SHARING THAT. AND I JUST WANTED TO ADD ONE LAST STATEMENT, JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST TO ADD ON, YOU KNOW, I KNOW EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS STILL, YOU KNOW, UP IN THE AIR BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESSES. WE HAVE STARTED ON OUR CONCEPT PLAN. SO WE HAVE AN AREA OF THE DAYCARE.

BUT LIKE I SAID, WE JUST NEED THE TIME. BECAUSE OUR NEXT STEP AFTER ZONING IS TO FILE THE SUP AND TO GET THE SITE PLAN IN.

SO THAT WAY WE CONTINUE ON TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING PLANS. SO LIKE YOU SAID, WE'VE BEEN IN THIS FOR A WHILE THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT GOING.

SO THE OWNER IS, YOU KNOW, EXCITED. BUT I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST WORDS [LAUGHTER] THAT I'M SAYING, BUT THEY'RE READY TO GET MOVING ON THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AS THE REASON WHY WE'RE TRYING TO JUST PUSH IT THROUGH THE WAY WE ARE.

AND THIS IS A THIS IS A CLERK QUESTION. WOULD IT BE BETTER TO TABLE OR TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS RIGHT NOW? IF YOU TAKE NO ACTION, THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO RE-ADVERTISE FOR THE ZONING.

IF YOU TABLE IT TO A DATE, TIME AND PLACE CERTAIN, THEN THEY WON'T HAVE TO RE-ADVERTISE IT AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL WITHOUT IT GOING BACK THROUGH PNC. BUT AND SUP WOULD REQUIRE THE PROCESS TO START FROM THE BEGINNING AND SO FAR AS THE SUP IS CONCERNED, THAT WOULD STILL HAVE TO BE ADVERTISED, STILL HAVE TO GO TO PNC.

SO BETTER TO TABLE IT? SO. YEAH, IT MAY NOT MATTER. I MEAN, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE COMPANION ITEMS. I WOULD DEFER TO CITY STAFF ON WHAT WOULD WORK BEST.

I THINK AS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE COULD BE IS TO IF YOU TABLED IT TO THE YOUR SECOND MEETING IN FEBRUARY,

[00:45:01]

OKAY. WE HAD A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

WITHDRAW HIS MOTION. WITHDRAW THE MOTION. BUT I DO PUT FORWARD A MOTION TO TABLE THIS UNTIL THE SECOND FEBRUARY MEETING.
