Apr 14, 2026 City Council

[00:00:03]

OKAY WE DO. I'LL GO AHEAD AND START THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

[I. CALL TO ORDER AND ANNOUNCE A QUORUM PRESENT]

WE HAVE PASTOR DAVID SMOLIN HERE WITH PORTRAIT CHURCH FOR THE INVOCATION.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING ME.

MY NAME IS DAVID SMOLIN. LIKE MAYOR TUBBS SAID, I LEAD PORTRAIT CHURCH HERE IN CELINA.

AND THEN MY WIFE AND I WERE RESIDENTS. LOVE. CELINA HAVE TWO BOYS THAT WE'RE RAISING HERE.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND EVERYTHING YOU GUYS PUT INTO IT, BECAUSE I KNOW WITH ALL THE GROWTH, THERE'S A LOT OF DYNAMICS AND CHALLENGES THAT YOU GUYS ARE FACING.

SO I'M HONORED TO BE HERE. I WAS, I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT TO JUST SHARE AND THEN LEAD US IN A QUICK PRAYER.

AND I COULDN'T ESCAPE PSALM 133. AND I WANTED TO SHARE JUST THREE VERSES OUT OF PSALM 133 WITH YOU.

AND WHETHER YOU'RE A PERSON OF FAITH OR NOT, I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S REALLY A UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE FOR THE FLOURISHING OF HUMANITY FOUND IN PSALM 133. SO LET ME READ THIS TO YOU. IT SAYS HOW WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL WHEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS LIVE IN UNITY.

IT'S LIKE COSTLY ANOINTING, OIL FLOWING DOWN, HEAD AND BEARD FLOWING DOWN, AARON'S BEARD FLOWING DOWN THE COLLAR OF HIS PRIESTLY ROBES.

IT'S LIKE THE DEW ON MOUNT HERMON FLOWING DOWN THE SLOPES OF ZION.

YES, THAT'S WHERE GOD'S BLESSING IS FOUND. AND REALLY WHAT WE SEE IN THIS PASSAGE IS THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE, ARE LEADING IN UNITY. IT COMMANDS GOD'S BLESSING.

AND I THINK WE LOOK AT OUR NATION AND JUST HOW DIVISIVE THINGS HAVE BEEN.

IT'S EASY FOR US TO SEE THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF DISUNITY.

BUT AGAIN, WHERE THERE IS UNITY, GOD'S BLESSING CAN BE FOUND.

AND I WANTED TO READ THIS ONE MORE TIME TOO, BECAUSE THERE'S ALSO A DIRECTION IN WHICH UNITY FLOWS.

SO AGAIN, IT SAYS HOW WONDERFUL AND HOW BEAUTIFUL WHEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS LIVE IN UNITY.

IT'S LIKE COSTLY ANOINTING, OIL FLOWING DOWN, HEAD AND BEARD FLOWING DOWN, AARON'S BEARD FLOWING DOWN THE COLLAR OF THE PRIESTLY ROBES.

IT'S LIKE THE DEW ON MOUNT HERMON FLOWING DOWN THE SLOPES OF ZION.

AND SO WHAT WE SEE IS THAT WE SEE THAT UNITY FLOWS TOP DOWN.

AND I THINK THE PRINCIPLE FROM A LEADERSHIP STANDPOINT IS THAT WHEN LEADERS ARE UNITED AT THE TOP, IT CASCADES BLESSING DOWN TO THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE CALLED TO SERVE.

AND SO AS I WAS LOOKING AHEAD TO ELECTION SEASON, AS WE LOOK AND LOOK BACK AT, YOU KNOW, EVEN WHAT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS HAD TO NAVIGATE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. AND THEN EVEN AS WE LOOK AT JUST HOW MANY DIFFERENT DIVERSE GROUPS OF PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO THIS AREA I FELT LIKE, MAN, WHAT A, WHAT A BETTER THING TO BE PRAYING FOR AND FOCUSING ON THAN, THAN THE UNITY OF OUR CITY, THE, THE UNITY OF OUR LEADERSHIP. AND SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO PRAY FOR YOU GUYS.

JUST GOD'S BLESSING THAT YOU GUYS WOULD BE UNITED, THAT YOU WOULD LEAD THE CITY UNITED AND THAT AGAIN, THAT THAT WOULD LEAD TO BLESSING AND FLOURISHING FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

SO LET ME, LET ME PRAY FOR YOU GUYS, IF YOU WOULD JOIN ME IN PRAYER.

GOD, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORD AND YOUR PRINCIPLES.

AND WE JUST FIRST COME INTO AGREEMENT THAT BLESSING IS GOOD, THAT DIVISION DESTROYS, BUT UNITY BUILDS.

AND SO, GOD, I PRAY RIGHT NOW FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE LEADERS. WE THANK YOU FOR THEM.

WE THANK YOU FOR THEIR TIME. WE THANK YOU FOR THEIR SACRIFICE TO LEAD THIS CITY.

GOD, I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THEM UNITY AND CLARITY IN THEIR DECISION MAKING.

I PRAY THAT YOU'D GIVE THEM COURAGE TO HAVE THE HARD CONVERSATIONS SO THAT THERE'S NO SPACE FOR DISUNITY AND DISSENSION TO GROW.

AND SO, GOD, I PRAY THAT THAT THIS GROUP RIGHT HERE WOULD BELIEVE THE BEST ABOUT ONE ANOTHER AND THAT GOD, YOU WOULD ENDOW THEM WITH WISDOM ON ON HOW TO LEAD THIS CITY AND THE DECISIONS TO MAKE AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE BEST FOR THE PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE SERVING, AND THAT EVERY TIME THAT THEY LEAVE THIS ROOM THAT THEY'D BE ABLE TO LOCK ARMS UNITED WITH, WITH THE MISSION AT HAND. GOD, WE PRAY FOR UNITY IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, WITH TEACHERS AND ADMIN AND THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE DECISIONS THAT THEY'RE FACING WITH GROWTH AND CHALLENGES. AND THEN, GOD, WE PRAY FOR UNITY, EVEN AMONGST THE DIVERSE GROUP OF PEOPLE, THAT THIS WOULD BE A PLACE, SALINA WOULD BE A PLACE WHERE EVERY SINGLE PERSON COULD BELONG, WHERE THEY COULD FLOURISH, WHERE THEY COULD BE ALL THAT YOU DESIGNED THEM TO BE.

IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY. AMEN. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AS AUTHORIZED BY SECTION 551.07, ONE OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.

[III. EXECUTIVE SESSION]

[00:05:06]

ABSTRACT NUMBER 211. CITY OF CELINA, DENTON COUNTY, TEXAS.

DENTON, CAD PROPERTY ID NUMBER 101229. BEING A PART OF A.

CALLED FIVE ACRE TRACT RECORDED IN INSTRUMENT NUMBER 2006-152722.

OFFICIAL RECORDS OF DENTON COUNTY, TEXAS, GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF CAREY ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 870FT WEST OF LEGACY DRIVE.

AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A OF THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR THIS ITEM.

FOR A PUBLIC PURPOSE AND USED TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN ROADWAY, WHICH INCLUDES, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING MUNICIPAL FUNCTIONS ROADWAY INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE.

DRAINAGE GRADING SUCH APPURTENANT FACILITIES AS MAY BE NECESSARY AND OTHER PUBLIC USES AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION WITH THIS MOTION AND SUBSEQUENT FIRST RECORD VOTE APPLYING TO ALL UNITS OF PROPERTY TO BE CONDEMNED.

OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

OKAY, I HAVE A SECOND. THIS IS A ROLL CALL VOTE.

IT'S A ROLL CALL VOTE. THANK YOU. JULIE. BRANDON.

YES. MINDY. YES. WENDY. YES. ANDY. YES. I'M A YES.

YES. EDDIE. YES. OKAY. MOTION CARRIES 620. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER ITEMS TO DISCUSS OUT OF EXECUTIVE? I HAVE MOVED TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AND THE REAL PROPERTY EXCHANGE AGREEMENT ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT A AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT, SUBJECT TO FINAL EDITS BEING APPROVED BY THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY RELATED TO THE ISD CONTRACT FOR EARTHMAN PROPERTY.

OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION. AND DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? I HAVE A SECOND. WE HAVE PRESENTATION FOR THIS ONE.

MAYOR, I'LL DO IT FROM THE DAIS, IF THAT'S OKAY.

YES, SIR. GO ON, PULL IT UP. RIGHT BACK THERE.

THIS MOTION IS FOR A LAND TRADE ASSOCIATED WITH EARTHMAN PARK.

EARTHMAN PARK IS LOCATED IS 113 ACRES OF PARKLAND LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE CITY NEAR SMILEY ROAD.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY THAT IS SUBJECT TO THIS EXCHANGE THAT THE CITY WOULD BE ACQUIRING IS THIS 107 ACRE TRACT OWNED BY THE EARTHMAN'S.

SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS TRADING EARTHMAN PARK TO HPISD, AND HPISD WOULD TRADE US THIS LAND.

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF LAND IS IT'S DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE PUBLIC PARK THAT MOSAIC IS BUILDING, OR TELUS IS BUILDING ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOSAIC DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL DESIGN. THIS IS JUST FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES SHOWING THAT WHAT THE 107 ACRES COULD BE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT COULD FUNCTION WITH QUITE A BIT OF DIFFERENT PARK USES.

SO WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE AT THE END OF THE TRADE WOULD BE THE GREEN PART.

THE PORTION IS URBAN PARK THAT WOULD BECOME ISD PROPERTY WITH THE INTENTION OF BUILDING A HIGH SCHOOL ON THAT PROPERTY.

THE HATCHED PINK IS THE PORTION THAT THE CITY WOULD RECEIVE, AND YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH IT GOES INTO EXISTING PARK LAND.

THE ORANGE IS WHAT WE, THE CITY PURCHASED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FOR POTENTIALLY PARKLAND.

THE BLUE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS. WE WANTED JUST TO ENSURE THAT THE UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT SUBJECT TO THIS TRADE.

AND THEN TELUS WOULD RECEIVE WHAT IS CURRENTLY ISD PROPERTY IN PROSPER 112.9 ACRES.

FOR BUILDING ADDITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPER.

THE WHAT WE FIND COMPELLING ABOUT THIS TRADE IS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO TRADE 113 ACRES OF PARKLAND FOR WHAT ESSENTIALLY BECOMES 296 ACRES OF PARKLAND.

THE PRIMARY PORTIONS DEAL POINTS OF THIS SWAP WOULD BE THAT THE CITY AND PSG EXCHANGE LAND TRACKS.

SO THEY WOULD, LIKE I SAID, GET URBAN PARK PROPERTY FOR THE MERIT PIECE, THE 107 ACRES ON THE SCREEN THERE.

THIS WOULD BE AN ESSENTIALLY SIMULTANEOUS SWAP, BUT WE WOULD SWAP DIRECTLY WITH ISD.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE DO THIS WITH THE PUBLIC ENTITY AND IT WOULD BE SET UP THAT WAY. IN ADDITION TO THE LAND,

[00:10:03]

P ISD IN THE CITY WOULD PAY THEIR OWN CLOSING COSTS.

THE DEED WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THREE DEED RESTRICTIONS.

FIRST, THE DEED FOR THE LAND WE WOULD RECEIVE FIRST.

THE PROPERTY WILL ONLY BE USED AS A PARK AND USES ANCILLARY TO A PARK.

SECOND, NO DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ALLOWED FOR THREE YEARS, WHICH IS WELL OUTSIDE OF WHEN WE HAD PLANS TO DEVELOP URBAN PARK.

AS IT STANDS, AND ANY LIGHTING INSTALLED ON THE PROPERTY WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE CITY'S CURRENT OR FUTURE LIGHTING ORDINANCES, WHICH IS ORDINANCES THAT WE FOLLOW. ANYWAY, THIS IS ALSO SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE CDC BOARD, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE AGREEMENT. SO THAT'S AN OVERVIEW OF THE POTENTIAL SWAP.

I WILL CONSIDER THIS AGREEMENT AT A FUTURE MEETING BUT HAVE REQUESTED THAT WE CONSIDER IT.

THIS EVENING. SO THEY KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THE CITY IS AGREEABLE.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? MOVE TO APPROVE. YEAH, I ALREADY HAVE A MOTION.

AND A SECOND. IF EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. IF WE HAVE NO FURTHER ITEMS OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO PROCLAMATIONS PRESENTATION ONE.

OH, WE DO HAVE ONE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT WITH E, W, D AND T LLC.

PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF DALLAS PARKWAY AND WEST FRONTIER PARKWAY, AND YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN THE TEAL COLOR APPEARS APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY INCLUDES 8000 SQUARE FOOT MULTI-TENANT RETAIL SPACE.

THE RENDERINGS ARE UP HERE FOR YOUR REVIEW. DEVELOPER MUST PROVE A MINIMUM CAPITAL EXPENDITURE OF $2.5 MILLION PLUS COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION BY JANUARY 1ST, 2027. MUST OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY BY JANUARY 1ST OF 2028.

THE FACILITY MUST GENERATE A MINIMUM OF $2 MILLION IN ANNUAL SALES.

ON THE CITY SIDE. THE CITY OBLIGATIONS THE CITY AGREES THAT ALL IMPACT FEES AND THE DEVELOPMENT FEES RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY PAYABLE BY THE DEVELOPER TO THE CITY, SHALL NOT EXCEED $134,417.03.

AND THIS EVENING THE. AT THE CDC STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR YOUR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? ANDY, YOU GOT SOMETHING? OKAY. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE, AND I HAVE A SECOND.

THIS IS FOR ITEM F IF EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

OKAY. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. AND THEN ALSO A PROJECT ORIGIN FOR THIS EVENING AS WELL.

OKAY. THIS IS. DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION? I DO, YES.

GO AHEAD. SO THIS PROJECT IS AN AMENDMENT TO AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT WITH AWS.

SAFE AND SECURE LLC AND JOEY'S ENTERPRISES, INC.

PROPERTY IS AT 1225 SOUTH PRESTON ROAD. YOU CAN SEE IT UP HERE IDENTIFIED IN TEAL.

A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THIS PROJECT. IN 2022, THE CDC, CITY, JOE EASTER ENTERPRISES AND AWS SAFE AND SECURE ENTERED INTO AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT FOR THIS PROPERTY ON PRESTON.

CURRENT TENANTS INCLUDE LOCAL SPIRITS A1 LOCKSMITH AND BROWNING SAVES.

THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR POINT SOURCING FOR SALES TAX FOR A1 LOCKSMITH AND BROWNING.

THE AGREEMENT REQUIRED. SO THIS IS AN AGREEMENT.

THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT. THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT REQUIRED A MINIMUM CAPITAL INVESTMENT OF $2.5 MILLION.

MINIMUM TAXABLE SALES OF 8 MILLION ANNUALLY. TAXABLE SALES REQUIREMENT IS ACHIEVED DUE TO THE MULTIPLE LOCATIONS ACROSS DFW THAT ARE GOING TO BE SOURCED TO THE SALINA LOCATION. A MINIMUM OF 30 FTE JOBS ARE CREATED AND RETAINED.

THE CITY AND THE CDC AGREE TO REIMBURSE A PORTION OF THAT SALES TAX FROM THE FACILITY FOR SEVEN YEARS, 50% FOR YEARS, ONE THROUGH FIVE, 25% FOR YEAR, SIX THROUGH SEVEN.

AND THEN CURRENTLY THERE IS A CAP WITHIN THAT AGREEMENT.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WOULD EXTEND THIS AGREEMENT OUT TO 20 YEARS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE IN YEAR THREE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SO THAT WILL WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED. SO A 50% REIMBURSEMENT OF THE CITY AND THE CDC SALES TAX FOR YEARS ONE THROUGH FIVE.

AGAIN WE'VE GOT THREE YEARS REMAINING ON THAT 50% 25% REIMBURSEMENT OF THE CITY AND CDC SALES TAX FOR YEARS, SIX THROUGH 20. THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO REMOVE THE GRANT.

[00:15:01]

ALSO ADDED LANGUAGE THAT REQUIRES A DEVELOPER TO POINT SOURCE FROM ALL ENTITIES IN TO THE SALINA LOCATION.

JUST AS A NOTE, THE CDC BOARD DID REVIEW THIS AND APPROVED IT AT A LOWER RATE OF THE POINT SOURCE.

SO IF COUNCIL DOES APPROVE THIS AMENDMENT TONIGHT, IT WILL GO BACK TO THE CDC BOARD FOR THEIR REVIEW AND APPROVAL NEXT MONTH.

AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. THIS IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL THIS EVENING. OKAY.

THIS IS ITEM G. IS THAT RIGHT? ORIGIN. OKAY. ORIGIN.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION.

OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND, I HAVE A SECOND.

IF EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. OKAY.

THAT MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. NOW, I THINK WE'RE DONE.

WITH ITEMS OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO PROCLAMATIONS, PRESENTATION, AND OATHS OF OFFICE.

[IV.A. Recognition of Council Member Wigginton and Council Member Koehne.]

IN TURN, ANDY, IF YOU'LL DO THE HONOR, I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE MINDY FIRST.

OKAY. THE MENDEZ FAMILY. DO YOU WANT TO COME DOWN TOO? YOU'RE IN THE BACK. YOU WANT TO COME? SURE. COME ON DOWN. FAMILY. I WAS GIVEN THIS HONOR TODAY, AND I'M.

AND I AM TRULY HONORED TO. SAY GOODBYE TO YOU IN THIS.

IN THIS FORMAT. I, I REMEMBER CLEARLY WHEN I MET MINDY THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN A MARKETING MEETING.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THIS. IT WAS BEFORE WE DID ANY RENOVATION AT CITY HALL, AND I HAD NOT SEEN HER BEFORE.

SHE CAME IN AND TWO THINGS STOOD OUT RIGHT AWAY.

ONE WAS THAT SHE'S A BRICK BORN AND RAISED IN CELINA.

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK. THEY'LL TELL YOU.

SO I FOUND THAT OUT. AND THEN I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD MOVED BACK HERE AFTER JOBS AND WHATNOT TO RAISE THEIR FAMILY HERE IN SALINA. AND THAT'S SPECIAL. AND I. MY FRIEND EDDIE HAS SAID IT BEFORE, AND I FULLY AGREE THAT MOST ROOMS THAT MINDY'S IN, SHE IS THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THAT ROOM.

AND THAT'S JUST IT. THAT'S NOT AT HOME THAT IT'S LIKE OUTSIDE.

OKAY. EDDIE SAID, YES IT IS. MINDY HAS BEEN A GREAT SERVANT TO THIS COMMUNITY.

SHE'S TOUGH. SHE SAID TO ME BEFORE THAT THE REASON SHE LIKED BASKETBALL IN HIGH SCHOOL SO MUCH IS BECAUSE THEY GAVE YOU FIVE FOULS, AND YOU BETTER DAMN WELL USE THEM. AND I BELIEVE HER TOUGHNESS AND SHE SHOWED THAT DAY IN AND DAY OUT WHEN SHE WAS WORKING FOR THE CITIZENS OF SALINA. I DO. I'M NOT SURE YOU EVER HAD AN OPPONENT AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S REALLY FAIR.

OH, OKAY. ONE, MAYBE. ANYWAY, SHE'S TOUGH, SHE'S SMART, AND SHE'S BEEN A SERVANT TO THIS COMMUNITY.

SHE IS LOYAL TO HER FRIENDS, TO THE BOBCATS, AND TO HER FAMILY.

WE'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO MISS YOU. IT'S BEEN A GREAT HONOR.

AND DEBBIE WANTED ME TO SAY BYE. AND THIS IS WHY WE DO IT RIGHT HERE.

SPEECH. SPEECH.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING. I DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE CITIZENS OF SALINA FOR LETTING ME SERVE ALL THESE YEARS. I THINK IT'S TEN, TEN ISH.

I THINK I HAD ONE TERM AND THREE OTHERS. IT HAS CERTAINLY BEEN MY PLEASURE TO SERVE.

SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE.

IF I COULDN'T SEE YOU, I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS AT.

I KNOW. SO FIRST OFF, I WANT TO THANK YOU. I'LL TELL A LITTLE STORY ABOUT WENDY.

[00:20:03]

NOW THOSE PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED ME. AND WE HAD A WATER BILLING PAGE AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT IS GOING ON? I MOVED HERE IN 2017. WHY ARE WATER BILLS STILL HIGH? AND SO WENDY MESSAGED ME AND SHE SAID, HEY, WE'RE HAVING A MEETING GET TOGETHER.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WATER BILLS. I WAS LIKE, THIS IS KIND OF WEIRD.

MY WIFE IS LIKE, WHY ARE YOU GOING TO SOME RANDOM PERSON'S HOUSE TO TALK ABOUT WATER BILLS AND ENDED UP BEING A WENDY'S CAMPAIGN KICKOFF THAT SHE INVITED ME TO AND USED IT AS A DISGUISE TO WATER BILLS. WE ALL SAT AROUND HER DINING ROOM TABLE AND WE DIDN'T DISCUSS WATER AT ALL.

AND THEN WE PUT ON A A RIDICULOUS HONKING PARADE WHEN YOU RAN FOR OFFICE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT GOT TO ENJOY THAT, I JUST THINK ABOUT ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER AND JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY.

THANK YOU, COREY, AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY. SO I KNOW THOSE SIX YEARS GO BY REALLY FAST.

YOU'VE BEEN VERY INVOLVED. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ON LADIES WHO.

BINGO. I THINK YOU RAISED 250 $300,000 TO PUT BACK INTO NON-PROFITS INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

SO JUST THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME AND AND MY GIRLS.

BUT WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU SAY SOMETHING NOW RATHER SO I CAN QUIT TALKING.

SO HE MADE ME CRY. AND THEN HE WANTS ME TO TALK.

THAT'S GREAT. FIRST, I WANT TO SAY THIS. THANK YOU TO MY HUSBAND AND MY FAMILY.

POLITICS IS NOT EASY. IT'S NOT EASY FOR THE CANDIDATE.

IT'S NOT EASY ALWAYS TO SERVE BECAUSE YOU DO BECOME THE PERSON EVERYBODY CALLS AND COMPLAINS ABOUT WATER BILLS AND SEWERS AND ROADS AND DIVOTS AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.

BUT MY FAMILY HAS ALWAYS KIND OF AND EVEN SOMETIMES HALF HEARTEDLY BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT.

I HAVE SOME AMAZING FRIENDS WHO I LOOKED AT THE PICTURE THIS MORNING WHEN WE WERE ALL DRESSED UP IN COSTUME DURING MY FIRST CAMPAIGN WITH OUR CAMPAIGN SIGNS. I COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT MY FRIENDS.

I'M SUPER BLESSED IN THAT REGARD. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I'D LIKE TO THINK I CAME INTO THIS REALLY WANTING TO BE HERE FOR THE CITIZENS OF SALINA TO TRY TO CHANGE THE WAY WE WERE APPROACHING HOW WE DEALT WITH ISSUES IN THE CITY.

I'D LIKE TO THINK I DID THAT. I LIKE TO THINK THAT I HELPED A CITY STAFF AND THE OTHER FOLKS NOT BE BETTER AT THEIR JOB BECAUSE THEY'RE AMAZING, BUT SEE THINGS SOMETIMES FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

YES, I'M A LAWYER AND THAT KIND OF MAKES THAT ANNOYING AT TIMES, BUT I.

I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT THAT WAS SUPER HELPFUL.

SO THANK YOU. NOT JUST TO ALL OF YOU, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE, WHETHER YOU LIKED ME OR NOT, THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THOSE SIX YEARS TO SERVE THIS CITY.

IT'S BEEN MY GREATEST HONOR. AND NOW I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO BEING GRANDMA.

THERE WE GO. NOW IT'S WORKING. HARRY, DO YOU WANT TO COME JOIN ME UP HERE? ALL OF MY FRIENDS. FOR ME. OKAY, SO THIS EVENING I HAVE

[IV.B. Child Abuse Prevention Proclamation. (Tubbs)]

AND WE TAKE CARE OF THE NEEDS OF THOSE CHILDREN, THAT THERE'S A NEED OUT THERE FOR LIKE.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE GATHERED SHOES, 600 PAIRS OF SHOES AND GAVE THEM OUT LAST YEAR TO BACK TO SCHOOL EVENTS.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE WERE 1099 CONFIRMED CHILD ABUSE CASES JUST IN COLLIN COUNTY IN THE YEAR 2025 THAT RESULTED IN TWO DEATHS, UNFORTUNATELY. SO WE TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE CHILDREN THAT WE SERVE HAVE ALL THE NECESSITIES THAT THE OTHER CHILDREN THAT THEY GO TO SCHOOL WITH DO.

AND WE APPRECIATE YOU ALLOWING US TO COME UP HERE AND BRING AWARENESS TO IT FOR CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH.

YES, YES, IT IS CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH. WITH THAT, WE WANT TO HONOR ALL THE WORK THAT ALL OF THESE ADVOCATES AND PROFESSIONALS DO INSIDE OF THAT SPACE. SO WHEREAS IN FISCAL YEAR 2025, THERE WERE 8000 REPORTED CASES OF CHILD ABUSE IN COLLIN COUNTY.

[00:25:07]

AND FINDING SOLUTIONS REQUIRES INPUT AND ACTION FROM EVERYONE.

AND WHEREAS CHILD ABUSE CAN HAVE LONG TERM PSYCHOLOGICAL, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL EFFECTS THAT HAVE LASTING CONSEQUENCES FOR VICTIMS OF ABUSE.

AND WHEREAS PROTECTIVE FACTORS ARE CONDITIONS THAT REDUCE OR ELIMINATE RISK AND PROMOTE THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN.

AND WHEREAS EFFECTIVE CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION ACTIVITIES SUCCEED BECAUSE OF THE PARTNERSHIPS CREATED BETWEEN CHILD WELFARE PROFESSIONALS, EDUCATION, HEALTH, COMMUNITY AND FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND FAMILIES.

AND WHEREAS WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE MUST WORK TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY TO INCREASE AWARENESS ABOUT CHILD ABUSE AND CONTRIBUTE TO PROMOTE THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN A SAFE, STABLE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT.

NOW THEREFORE, I, RYAN TUBBS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF SALINA, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM APRIL 2026 AS NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH IN SALINA, TEXAS, AND I URGE ALL CITIZENS TO MAKE A. COGNIZANT OF THIS EVENT AND PARTICIPATE IN ALL THE EVENTS RELATED THERETO IN THIS COMMUNITY.

IF EVERYBODY WILL, PLEASE GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO ALL OF THESE PROFESSIONALS IN THE WORK THEY DO IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, NEXT UP WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO ITEM C, WHICH IS THE CITY FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT EXCELLENCE AWARD FOR 2026.

[IV.C. The City Floodplain Management Excellence Award 2026. (Oduro)]

IT WAS A STATEWIDE EVENT THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER FLOODPLAIN MANAGERS ACROSS THE STATE.

STAFF WAS NOT AWARE OF THE NOMINATION, SO IT WAS TRULY A PLEASANT SURPRISE, WHICH GOES TO SHOW THAT ALL THE HARD WORK BEING DONE IN THE BACKGROUND TO PROACTIVELY PROTECT LIVES AND PROPERTIES FROM FLOODING IS BEING NOTICED.

SO I WANT TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, KUDOS TO THE ENGINEERING TEAM FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND COUNCIL AND ALL STAKEHOLDERS FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT. THANK YOU. AND THE AWARD. CONGRATULATIONS.

OKAY. NEXT UP, ANTHONY, WE HAVE CDC LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORT PROGRAM SIZE UP LAUNCH.

[IV.D. CEDC Local Business Support Program - Size-Up Launch. (Satarino)]

WE START WITH THE. WE RECENTLY CELEBRATED THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF OUR DUAL MARKETING STRATEGY.

OUR ALL NEW NAVIGATOR PROGRAM AND OUR LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORT PROGRAM.

THAT WAS ON MARCH 6TH AND THE LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORT PROGRAM REPRESENTS A LONG TERM COMMITMENT TO OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES, NOT JUST THROUGH RECRUITMENT, BUT THROUGH RETENTION, GROWTH AND REAL HANDS ON SUPPORT.

THIS EVENT BROUGHT TOGETHER BUSINESS OWNERS, COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS.

THE ENERGY IN THE ROOM REINFORCED SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY KNOW HERE IN SALINA.

OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS ENGAGING, GROWING AND READY FOR SUPPORT.

AND THIS PROGRAM IS REALLY DESIGNED TO. REALLY DESIGNED TO MEET THAT MOMENTUM MOVING FORWARD.

A KEY COMPONENT OF THE LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORT PROGRAM IS OUR BUSINESS GROWTH WORKSHOP SERIES.

THIS IS DELIVERED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TOUR DE PROFIT AND BUSINESS COACH RICH ALLEN.

THIS IS A PRACTICAL, HANDS ON TRAINING DESIGNED TO HELP BUSINESSES GROW AND SCALE.

SO YOU ALL KNOW RICH ALLEN FROM OUR FACILITATOR AT OUR JOINT CITY COUNCIL AND EDC MEETING.

THAT'S BUT RICH'S JOB BY DAY IS A BUSINESS COACH.

AND RICH ALLEN BRINGS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH SMALL AND MIDSIZE BUSINESSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HIS SYSTEM FOCUSES ON SALES AND OPERATIONS, LEADERSHIP AND TEAM PERFORMANCE, AND HELPING THOSE BUSINESS OWNERS TRANSITION FROM WORKING IN THEIR BUSINESS TO WORKING ON THEIR BUSINESS.

[00:30:02]

SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROGRAM. IT'S DESIGNED TO BE FLEXIBLE.

BUSINESSES CAN ATTEND INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS OR THEY CAN COMMIT TO THE FULL SERIES.

FOR THOSE WHO COMMIT TO THE FULL PROGRAM, WE'RE ADDING REAL VALUE RECOGNITION AT THE CITY LEVEL, MARKETING EXPOSURE THROUGH EDC CHANNELS, AND THEN A ONE ON ONE BUSINESS COACHING SESSION WITH RICH ALLEN.

THIS IS AVAILABLE UP ON OUR WEBSITE. ANYBODY INTERESTED CAN ALSO SCAN THIS QR CODE TO ENROLL.

WE ARE NOT CAPPING THIS INAUGURAL CLASS SIZE.

ALSO WANTED TO INTRODUCE ANOTHER PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT THE EDC HAS PROCURED FOR SUPPORT TO OUR SMALL BUSINESS, AND THAT'S A SIZE UP. IN ADDITION TO THAT EDUCATION, THIS IS AGAIN, ONE OF THOSE TOOLS THAT'S GOING TO HELP SUPPORT OUR BUSINESSES.

SIZE UP IS A FREE DATA DRIVEN BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM.

IT IS HOSTED BY THE EDC, AND IT GIVES OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES ACCESS TO REAL TIME MARKET DATA TOOLS THAT ARE TYPICALLY ONLY AVAILABLE TO LARGE CORPORATIONS.

IT ALLOWS THEM TO ANALYZE THE INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE, COMPETITIVE POSITIONING, CUSTOMER DEMOGRAPHICS, AND IDEAL LOCATIONS FOR GROWTH. SO MOST SMALL BUSINESSES DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO DEDICATED ANALYTICS OR EXPENSIVE CONSULTING SERVICES.

AND THAT'S REALLY WHERE SIZE UP COMES IN. AND WE LIKE TO SAY IT LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD FOR OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES HERE.

THEY CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE COMPETITION, IDENTIFY GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES, TARGET THE RIGHT CUSTOMERS AND BENCHMARK PERFORMANCE AGAINST INDUSTRY PEERS.

SO WHY DOES ALL THIS MATTER FOR SALINAS? SO AT A HIGHER LEVEL, THIS WORK POSITIONED SALINAS PRO-BUSINESS, INNOVATION AND INNOVATION DRIVEN, AND IT STRENGTHENS OUR EXISTING BUSINESS TO SUPPORT ENTREPRENEURSHIP ENSURES AS WE GROW, OUR LOCAL ECONOMY IS CONTINUING TO GROW WITH US.

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF THE DATA THAT CAN BE PULLED FROM SIZE UP.

IT HAS ACCESS TO REAL TIME DATA, REAL COMPARISONS, REAL OPPORTUNITIES, AND IT'S THE KIND OF INTELLIGENCE THAT CAN HELP DRIVE BUSINESS DECISIONS. SO THIS EVENING I WILL AGAIN FOCUS ON THAT.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN CONTINUING TO PLAY A SUPPORT ROLE IN THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESSES HERE IN SALINA.

EQUIP THEM WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS AND CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN GROW AND SUCCEED.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. THE NEXT ONE IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE AGENDA ITEM DISCUSSION REGARDING THE IRONMAN COMPETITION.

YES. OH, SCREENING. SORRY. YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT ONE SO MUCH THAT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT SCREENING.

OKAY. ITEM A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE SCREENING ORDINANCE UPDATE.

[V.A. Discussion regarding the Screening Ordinance Update. (McAfee)]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE SCREENING ORDINANCE. IMPORTANT TO NOTE, THIS IS NOT AN OVERHAUL OF THE SCREENING ORDINANCE.

SOLANA HAS AN A+ SCREENING ORDINANCE. THIS IS UPDATING IT, MAINTAINING IT, ENSURING THAT IT'S STILL WORKING PROPERLY FOR OUR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

HELPS SAVE TIME DURING PERMITTING TO HAVE CLEANER LANGUAGE.

THE LAST UPDATE TO THIS ORDINANCE WAS 2019, AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY AND FUNCTIONAL REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR BOTH OUR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND RESIDENTS WHO ARE WANTING TO REINVEST INTO THEIR PROPERTIES.

THIS IS THE TIMELINE. WE HAVE A WE HAD A WORKSHOP DISCUSSION WITH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION LAST MONTH.

SAME THIS EVENING WITH COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARINGS IN MAY AND JUNE FOR THE ADOPTIONS.

SO JUST SOME VERY QUICK BASICS OF THE SCREENING ORDINANCE.

SCREENING WALLS ARE REQUIRED TO BE MASONRY AND EIGHT FOOT TALL.

THEY'RE REQUIRED IN ALL KINDS OF SITUATIONS, TYPICALLY TO SCREEN DISPARATE OR INCOMPATIBLE LAND USES, SUCH AS COMMERCIAL FROM RESIDENTIAL OR MULTIFAMILY FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL OR DUMPSTER LOCATIONS OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

WE REQUIRE WALLS TO BE DECORATIVE. YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, WE DO REQUIRE SOLDIER COURSES OR COLUMNS AND OTHER THINGS OF DECORATIVE NATURE, IN ADDITION TO ALL THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE WALLS WITH LINTELS AND PIERS AND WHATNOT, FENCES IS AN OVERVIEW. RESIDENTIAL LIGHTS TYPICALLY UTILIZE WOODEN FENCES.

THIS ONE REQUIREMENT WE HAVE, LIKE A LOT OF CITIES, IS THAT WE REQUIRE A SMOOTH SIDE OF THE FENCE TO FACE OUTWARD.

WE DO REQUIRE METAL POSTS AND WE DO ALSO REQUIRE OPEN FENCING ADJACENT TO OPEN SPACE AND FLOODPLAINS FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR ESTHETICS AS WELL. FENCING IS WORKING IN GOOD ORDER.

THE REVISIONS WE HAVE, THE RED LINES ARE IN THE PACKET.

WE CLARIFIED INTERNAL POLICY WHERE POSSIBLE TO IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND UNDERSTANDING.

WE ELIMINATED PLATITUDE LANGUAGE THAT DID NOT ADD VALUE OR CANNOT BE ENFORCED.

[00:35:01]

WE CLARIFIED APPLICABILITY. HEIGHT AND MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS.

AND WE CLARIFIED WALL MAINTENANCE EASEMENTS, THE USE OF PRECAST WALLS AND SHARED BOUNDARY SITUATIONS.

THERE'S NO ORDINANCES IN THE STATE THAT ARE MORE MARKET TESTED THAN SALINAS.

OUR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY USE OUR ORDINANCES MORE THAN ANY OTHER CITY HAS THEIR ORDINANCES USED BECAUSE WE HAVE THE MOST DEVELOPMENT.

BECAUSE OF THAT, STAFF PAYS CAREFUL ATTENTION.

WHEN DEVELOPERS LIKE TO ARGUE A CERTAIN SECTION OR DEBATE A CERTAIN SECTION, WE TRY.

WE PUT EXTRA ATTENTION INTO THAT SECTION THE NEXT TIME THE ORDINANCE IS OPENED UP TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S NO ROOM FOR DISAGREEMENT, AND TO ENSURE THAT OUR ORDINANCES ARE PERFORMING, CONTINUE TO PERFORM AT A HIGH LEVEL.

WE HAVE SOME EXAMPLES ON THE SCREEN JUST FOR IMPROVED LANGUAGE.

THESE ARE NOT CHANGING STANDARDS. THEY'RE JUST CLEANER.

CLEANING UP THE LANGUAGE. SOME OF THE PLATITUDE RELATED.

AGAIN, A LOT OF THIS IS JUST SAYING IT MORE SIMPLY.

AND THE HEIGHT OF RETAINING WALLS. IF WE CAN SAY IT IN A SENTENCE.

LET'S SAY IT IN A SENTENCE, NOT TAKE THREE PARAGRAPHS TO SAY IT.

AND SAME THING WITH ENSURING WE ARE CLEAR BETWEEN DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE ORDINANCE THAT WE HAVE NOTHING CONTRADICTING EACH OTHER.

WHEN WE DISCUSS THIS WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS.

AND AGAIN, OUR TIMELINE HAS COME FORWARD WITH PUBLIC HEARINGS IN MAY AND JUNE AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ORDINANCE.

STAFF'S AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

OKAY. NOW MY FAVORITE TOPIC OF THE EVENING EVENING DISCUSSION REGARDING THE IRONMAN COMPETITION.

[V.B. Discussion regarding the Ironman competition. (Cullison)]

AND I'M GOING TO HAVE LIEUTENANT ARMSTRONG LEAD A LOT OF THIS CONVERSATION.

HE WAS THE EVENT COORDINATOR, THE EVENT COMMANDER.

HE WORKED CLOSELY WITH OUR COLLEAGUES IN LITTLE ELM PROSPER AND, OF COURSE, THE IRONMAN TEAM.

AND SO I THINK HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU GUYS SOME REALLY GOOD INSIGHTS SO YOU CAN MAKE GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS MOVING FORWARD.

SO LET'S BEGIN. LIEUTENANT JOSH ARMSTRONG. THE IRONMAN TRIATHLON WAS MARCH 15TH. AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE HOSTED BY THE TOWN OF LITTLE ELM, THE BICYCLE ROUTE CAME THROUGH SOLANA.

THIS EVENT WAS IN COORDINATION WITH LITTLE ELM OAK POINT, AUBREY DENTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, PILOT POINT, CELINA AND PROSPER. THE GOAL OF THE EVENT WAS CONTINUOUS CYCLIST MOVEMENT WITH VEHICULAR TRAVEL SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO INTERMINGLE WITH THE CYCLIST. WE NEED TO EVALUATE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ALONG DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY AND THE CORRIDOR BASED ON D.A.

AND OVERLAY STANDARDS, PARTICULARLY IN THE HIGH RISE ZONE.

THE PLANNING AND COORDINATING OF THE EVENT. THERE WERE FOUR PRE-EVENT MEETINGS.

THERE WAS AN ENGINEERED TRAFFIC PLAN THAT WAS DEVELOPED BY AN EXTERNAL COMPANY HIRED BY IRONMAN.

THE THERE WERE REVISIONS MADE TO THAT TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THERE WERE ALSO REVISIONS MADE TO THE PLAN WITH INCIDENT COMMAND AND GROUND COMMAND.

AND THEN LASTLY, THERE WERE ALSO REVISIONS MADE TO THE RADIO COMMUNICATIONS THAT WAS PROPOSED BY LITTLE ELM AND IRONMAN.

ON THE DAY OF EVENT, WE FACED SEVERAL CHALLENGES THAT Y'ALL ARE AWARE OF.

THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS GOING TO BE THE SEVERE TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

THE REASON FOR THE SEVERE TRAFFIC CONGESTION IS THE GOAL WAS INTERMINGLING OF CYCLISTS WITH VEHICLES.

THE SWIM PORTION OF THE RACE WAS CANCELED WHEN THE SWIM PORTION WAS CANCELED.

THAT CONDENSED THE CYCLISTS INTO A MUCH TIGHTER GROUP OF RIDERS.

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE SWIM PORTION WAS CANCELED OR NOT, WE STILL WOULD HAVE ENCOUNTERED SOME ISSUES AND PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA.

JUST BASED OFF THE WAY THE RACE IS DESIGNED AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE HERE IN SALINA, THE LIMITED CROSSING OPPORTUNITIES REALLY PROPOSED ISSUES TO US BECAUSE THE CYCLIST HAD PRIORITY.

THEY WERE NOT TO STOP BECAUSE THIS WAS A RACE.

WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP THE CYCLIST, THAT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLES. AND BECAUSE THEY WERE GROUPED SO CLOSELY TOGETHER, THE VEHICLES DID NOT HAVE AN ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO CROSS THE RACE PATH.

WE ALSO NOTICED THAT WE WERE MISSING VOLUNTEERS THAT WERE PROMISED TO US FROM IRONMAN.

THAT HAS SINCE BEEN SORTED OUT, REALLY IRRELEVANT RELATED TO THE ISSUES THAT WE THAT WE HAD.

AND THEN CITIZEN COMPLAINTS AND DELAYS, WHICH I'M SURE ALL OF YOU FIELDED SOME OF THOSE COMPLAINTS ON THE DAY OF ROOT CAUSES.

WE ALREADY MENTIONED THE SWIM CANCELLATION COMPRESSED THE TIMELINE. WE HAD 2500 CYCLISTS THAT WERE RELEASED REALLY QUICKLY.

THERE WERE NO STAGGERED GAPS IN BETWEEN THE CYCLISTS BEING RELEASED FROM THE LITTLE ELM STARTING POINT.

AND THE BIG ISSUE IS INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITATIONS.

[00:40:02]

BUT ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE HAS, HAS NOT BEEN BUILT YET WITHIN THE CITY OF SOLANA TO ADEQUATELY SUFFICE THIS RAISE.

ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, I'LL START HERE. I THINK THAT WE GAVE THE IRON MAN A CHANCE THIS YEAR.

I THINK THAT WE WERE ALL KIND OF NOT NECESSARILY FOR IT, BUT KIND OF KIND OF AGAINST IT KIND OF TEETERING ON THE FENCE.

I THINK THIS WAS A REALLY BAD FIRST IMPRESSION.

I THINK IT WAS PROBABLY MY LAST IMPRESSION WITH THEM.

THIS THE NOT STAGGERING THE START TIMES AND THE CYCLIST.

I MEAN, MY PHONE STARTED RINGING ABOUT 1030 IN THE MORNING AND DIDN'T STOP.

I FINALLY HAD TO CALL RYAN AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.

SO I DON'T THINK THIS DID ANYTHING POSITIVE FOR SOLANA AT ALL.

I THINK THAT IT WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE IT TO CHURCH, AND NEGATIVELY IMPACT A LOT OF THE SUBDIVISIONS OUT THERE AND PEOPLE GETTING STOPPED. I WAS GETTING PICTURES FROM RESIDENTS WHOSE KIDS HAD JUST PULLED OVER INTO THE PASTURE AND WAS THROWING THE FOOTBALL BACK AND FORTH, BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST STUCK IN TRAFFIC. SO I'M TOTALLY OUT ON THIS GOING FORWARD.

I THINK WE'VE HAD SOME OF OUR DEBRIEFS WITH WITH DENTON COUNTY.

AND I'LL JUST ECHO WHAT BRANDON SAYS AND TRY AND BE AS NICE AS POSSIBLE.

MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO TO STAFF TO ISSUE WHATEVER TYPE OF CANCELLATION NOTICE WE NEED TO GIVE AND CANCEL OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE EXISTING AGREEMENT. IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE? ARE WE MAKING? NO, WE'RE, WE'RE PROVIDING WE'RE LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK.

SO OUR AGREEMENT WITH OUR INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, WE HAVE TO GIVE NOTIFICATION BY NINE MONTHS AHEAD OF THE NEXT EVENT IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO PARTICIPATE. SO BASED ON CITY COUNCIL'S DIRECTION THIS EVENING, WE CAN BRING THAT BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING TO TAKE THE ACTION NECESSARY TO NOTIFY BOTH THE THE TRIATHLON IRONMAN AS WELL AS LITTLE ELM. OF OUR, OUR DECISION TO NOT PARTICIPATE THERE.

THE WHOLE PROCESS. THE ONLY THING THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET OUT OF IT WAS THE PAT ON OUR OWN BACK FOR BEING NEIGHBORLY, AND THAT WAS IT. SO I'LL JOIN IN WITH THANKS FOR THE TRIAL, BUT WE'RE DONE.

ANY OTHER FEEDBACK? GOOD, ROBERT. THANK YOU BOTH.

THANK YOU. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO OPEN FORUM.

[VI. OPEN FORUM]

ONE OF THESE SPEAKER CARDS ARE LOCATED IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM AND PRESENT TO THE CITY SECRETARY PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

SPEAKERS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES. THE COUNCIL CAN TAKE NO ACTION. NO CHARGES AND OR COMPLAINTS WILL BE HEARD AGAINST ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY THAT ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW. PLEASE NOTE ANYONE WISHING TO FURNISH THE CITY COUNCIL WITH COPIES OR HANDOUTS REGARDING THEIR ITEM OF INTEREST MUST PROVIDE NINE COPIES AND PRESENT THEM TO THE CITY SECRETARY FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

KEITH SMITH, DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND COME UP? IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR. CLOCK ON ME UP THERE.

IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. ABSOLUTELY. MY NAME IS KEITH SMITH. MY FAMILY AND I LIVE AT 608 WEST ELM STREET.

WE'VE BEEN RESIDENTS OF CELINA FOR ABOUT TWO DECADES.

WE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY AND PARTICULARLY THE DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE.

THAT STATED, I'M HOPEFUL THAT THIS BODY AND THE CORRECT PERSONNEL WITHIN CITY GOVERNMENT CAN POTENTIALLY REVIEW AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION AGAINST THE ARTIFICIAL TURF THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED AT 308 WEST MAIN STREET.

I CANDIDLY HAVE NO IDEA WHO OWNS THAT PROPERTY.

BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE THE ARTIFICIAL TURF INSTALLATION IS IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE CODE OF COMPLIANCE, SPECIFICALLY SECTION 14.04206, SECTION A LINE FOUR, PARAGRAPH B.

IF THAT PROPERTY IS GOING TO ONE DAY, BE A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

IT'S STILL IN VIOLATION BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING.

SECTION TWO SEVEN. SECTION A, PARAGRAPH THREE STATES A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY CAN'T HAVE IT VISIBLE FROM A PUBLIC STREET EITHER.

I'M CERTAINLY NOT I'M ABSOLUTELY FOR THE LESSENING OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL TURF AS WELL AS XERISCAPING AND DROUGHT RESISTANT

[00:45:09]

AND IN THAT CODE, IT ALSO STATES YOU CAN'T DO IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT HOME WAS BUILT IN THE 30S, 40S, 50S, 60S OR WHATEVER, BUT I'M SURE ARTIFICIAL TURF WAS NOT PART OF THE LANDSCAPE.

AND MY CONCERN ALSO IS THE PRECEDENT THAT IT SETS IF IT'S ALLOWED TO STAY IN THAT, IN THAT IN THAT HOME IN WITHIN VIEW FROM A PUBLIC STREET. THE CODE CLEARLY SAYS YOU CAN HAVE IT IN SECTIONED OFF IN BACKYARDS, BUT NOT VISIBLE FROM A PUBLIC STREET.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT.

WHENEVER I REACHED OUT ON THE 26TH OF MARCH ABOUT THIS, YOU AND MR. GREEN, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CONTRACTOR THAT INSTALLED IT IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXPENSE TO REMOVE IT AND PUT TRADITIONAL SOD IN.

AND THAT'S UNFORTUNATE FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL. HOWEVER, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THAT WAS APPROVED BY PERMITTING SINCE IT'S IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE CODE. AND AGAIN, I'M NOT TRYING TO TAKE A SHOT AT THE HOMEOWNER OF THAT, OF THAT RESIDENCE, BUT IT'S NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE LOOK AND FEEL THAT IS SET FORTH WITH THE DOWNTOWN CODE IN THE SIX DISTRICTS THAT MAKE UP THE DOWNTOWN CODE.

AND AGAIN, MY REAL CONCERN IS THE PRECEDENT THAT ESTABLISHED THAT, HEY, IF IT'S OKAY THERE, WE'RE GOING TO START SEEING THEM POP UP ALL OVER THE PLACE IN A HOUSE BUILT IN 1911 WITH ARTIFICIAL TURF.

THEY JUST IT JUST DOESN'T DOESN'T VIBE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

I'M GOING TO STAY FOR. IF ANYONE WANTS TO SPEAK TO ME OR HAVE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS, AND I REALLY HOPE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO GET THIS RESOLVED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU KEITH.

OKAY. THIS IS OPEN FORUM. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? ALL RIGHT. IF NO ONE ELSE WISHES TO SPEAK, THEN I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE.

OPEN FORUM AT 717. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO CONSENT.

[VII. CONSENT AGENDA]

NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS WILL OCCUR UNLESS REQUESTED BY AT LEAST ONE MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL.

I DON'T HAVE A REQUEST YET. IS THERE ANY INDIVIDUAL ITEMS WE NEED TO DISCUSS? MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND, HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

ANNA, HAVE A SECOND. WITH THAT, IF EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

OKAY, THAT MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ITEMS.

[VIII.A. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon a Major Modification to the design standards in the Downtown Code, in order to allow for the development of Senior Independent Living; generally located at the southeast corner of Main Street and Oklahoma Drive, within the Downtown Code - Preston Streams District, for Preston Club. (McAfee)]

PRESTON STREET DISTRICT FOUR, PRESTON CLUB. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS EVENING WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PRESTON CLUB PROJECT, WHICH IS LOCATED OFF OF OKLAHOMA DRIVE BETWEEN MAIN AND ELM STREETS.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP IN FRONT OF US WE HAVE SIX DISTRICTS, BUT ONE DOWNTOWN, AND THIS IS LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF THE PRESTON STREET DISTRICT.

ACROSS FROM THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT IS APPROXIMATELY TWO ACRES.

IS ZONED PRESTON STREAMS WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN CODE.

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IS FOR A FIVE STORY INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY THAT INCLUDES COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS AND A PARKING GARAGE.

THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A MAJOR MODIFICATION FROM THE DOWNTOWN CODE DESIGN REGULATIONS IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT THE BUILDING AND PROJECT AS PROPOSED.

THE LAND USE, IMPORTANT TO NOTE, IS ALLOWED BY THE DOWNTOWN CODE, SO MAJOR MODIFICATIONS.

THE SIGNIFICANT SIGNIFICANT DEVIATIONS FROM THE DOWNTOWN CODE THAT DO NOT QUALIFY AS MINOR MODIFICATIONS.

THEY CAN BE EITHER DESIGN RELATED OR LAND USE RELATED.

THE TONIGHTS WILL BE DESIGN RELATED. THEY REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARINGS, WITH CITY COUNCIL BEING THE FINAL APPROVAL AUTHORITY.

THIS WAS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE PROJECT. YOU CAN SEE THE PARKING GARAGE ON THE SOUTH.

THE BUILDING ON THE NORTH. THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.

WE HAVE SEVERAL THE RENDERINGS, THEY, THEY CLEARLY SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THEY MIGHT A LOT OF BRICK, A LOT OF HEAVY MASONRY ELEVATIONS THAT LOOK YOU KNOW, APPROPRIATE FOR A DOWNTOWN.

SO THE PROJECT OVERVIEW IS A MEMBERSHIP BASED AGE RESTRICTED MULTIFAMILY PROJECT.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 160 INDEPENDENT AGE RESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

SECONDARY BUILDING HAS ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR OTHER HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER PROJECTS.

THE STRUCTURED PARKING GARAGE WOULD HAVE OVER 257 VEHICLE SPACES AND OF COURSE, ADDITIONAL STREETS SPACES AS WELL,

[00:50:06]

THERE'S SIX OF THESE BUILDING HEIGHT. THE THREE STOREYS IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THEY'RE PROPOSING FIVE STOREYS. STAFF'S ANALYSIS IS THAT THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT ACROSS THE STREET ALLOWS UP TO FIVE, SOMETIMES SIX, DEPENDING UPON DESIGN. SO WHEN IT FEELS LIKE THAT WAS TOO FAR OF A DEVIATION.

BUT AGAIN, COUNCIL DECISION THE BUILDING TYPE IS NOT PERMITTED IN PRESTON STREAMS. THE REQUEST IS TO ALLOW FOR IT. THE SETBACK AVERAGING FOLLOWS THE AVERAGING OF THE EXISTING HOMES AND STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THIS PROJECT. THEY'RE REQUESTING NOT TO HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SETBACK AVERAGING THE TRANSITIONAL AREA.

THIS IS A LIMITATION ON HEIGHT WHEN ADJACENT TO EXISTING RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES.

STAFF ACKNOWLEDGES THE DISCREPANCY ON THIS ONE.

ONE HOME IS A RENTAL, THE OTHER IS A HOMESTEAD.

BOTH HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE APPLICANT. PARKING.

THE STRICT APPLICATION OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS, 315 PARKING SPACES.

THEY'RE PROPOSING 269, INCLUDING THE ON STREET PARKING.

AGE RESTRICTED COMMUNITIES TEND TO NOT HAVE AS AS HEAVY OF A PARKING LOAD AS TYPICAL MULTIFAMILY.

THEY'RE ALSO HOPING TO HAVE ROOFTOP SIGNAGE AND ROOFTOP SIGNS ARE ALLOWED IN TYPE B STREETS AND PATIO COMMONS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, SO STAFF DO NOT NECESSARILY FEEL THE SIZE OF A STRUCTURE THAT THE REQUEST WAS INAPPROPRIATE.

IN TERMS OF POLICY, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRESENT CLUB SITE VISUALLY IMPROVES A BLOCK ALONG A SIGNIFICANT DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR.

THE PROPOSED RENDERINGS ADHERE TO THE HISTORIC TEXAS ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OF SALINAS DOWNTOWN.

THE DEVELOPMENT ADDS SIGNIFICANT AD VALOREM VALUE TO THE CITY.

IT MEETS THE VISION OF THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, ALTHOUGH IT CLEARLY DOES NOT MEET SPECIFIC DESIGN STANDARDS OF THE DOWNTOWN ZONING CODE AND TWO OUT PARCELS. THOSE ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY ARE POTENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, NOT CONGRUENT WITH THE PROJECT.

AND THEY. AND THIS PRESENTATION SINCE THEN, THE REQUEST HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO IMPROVING TWO OF THE THREE RESIDENTIAL STREETS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE A TAXPAYER OBLIGATION. SO THE FINAL VERDICT REQUEST WAS TO ADJACENT SIDE STREETS TO BE RECONSTRUCTED.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT ITS REGULAR MEETING IN JANUARY.

THERE ARE NO PUBLIC SPEAKERS AT THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THE REQUEST HAS BEEN TABLED THE PAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS.

WHILE THE ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT WAS WORKED OUT AND STAFF CANNOT RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT.

ABSENT THE ASSOCIATED INCENTIVE AGREEMENT BEING APPROVED.

SO WITH THAT, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM A. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO COME FORWARD? YOU CAN JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. SURE.

HOW? WATSON. HENRY MILLER COMPANY, 5151 BELT LINE ROAD IN DALLAS.

I'M THE APPLICANT AND THE DEVELOPER. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF HENRY MILLER MULTI-HOUSING.

AND OF COURSE, OUR COMPANY HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS SINCE 1914 AND WE'VE OWNED AND OPERATED AND DEVELOPED MANY PROPERTIES AROUND TEXAS, ESPECIALLY IN THE DFW METROPLEX. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BUILDING THE PRESIDENT CLUB.

CELINA. WE HOPE THAT WE CAN REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY.

YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, EVERYBODY'S BEEN BUSY AND WE ONLY STARTED NEGOTIATING THE 380 AGREEMENT SIX DAYS AGO, AND WE HAD A WEEKEND IN BETWEEN. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE PERFECTLY WILLING, YOU KNOW, TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS NECESSARY, YOU KNOW, TO WORDSMITH THE DOCUMENT AND GET THROUGH THAT, YOU KNOW, HARD PART OF GETTING THROUGH ALL THE DETAILS.

AND YOU KNOW, WE NEED EITHER LOVE YOU GUYS TO APPROVE THE PROJECT.

AND WE'LL JUST, YOU KNOW HOPE THAT WE'LL GET THE FINANCIAL INCENTIVES ALONG WITH THE ZONING OR TABLE IT AND, YOU KNOW, LET'S WORK, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE FINANCIAL INCENTIVES AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND BE IN A POSITION A MONTH FROM NOW TO VOTE ON IT WHEN

[00:55:01]

SO I'M HAPPY TO RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? OKAY. THANK YOU.

YEP. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. IF NOT, I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION. I WILL SAY I WILL CAVEAT THAT THAT PART OF THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES AN INCENTIVE AGREEMENT.

SO IT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE THE USE AS DUSTY SAID WE DO I THINK I PERSONALLY, I'LL TALK FOR MYSELF.

I LOVE THE USE. BUT I THINK THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT IS IS WHERE I'M PERSONALLY HAVING A TROUBLE WITH.

SO WITH THAT I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION FROM SOMEBODY ON COUNCIL.

YEAH. I THINK I'M ALSO HAVING A HARD TIME THERE WITH THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT AS WELL, JUST BECAUSE OF IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALL GOING TO BE AGE RESTRICTED FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND. SO I KIND OF SEE IT AS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE INCENTIVIZING FOR MULTIFAMILY IN DOWNTOWN.

THAT'S JUST HOW I'M, I'M LOOKING AT THIS ALSO CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 727.

KEEP GOING. AM I IN TROUBLE? ARE YOU GOOD? WHAT HAPPENED? NO, NO, NO. KEEP GOING. I DIDN'T I DIDN'T FORMALLY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

NO, BUT YEAH, I THINK THAT'S ONE THING WE LOOK AT IT.

I APPRECIATE I BELIEVE THERE'S $2.8 MILLION IN ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS.

BUT ONE THING WE STRUGGLE WITH IS THE PERCEPTION OF THE PROJECT COMING OFF LIKE WE'RE INCENTIVIZING MULTIFAMILY WHICH OBVIOUSLY WITH OUR WATER SITUATION IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE REALLY WANT TO DO. SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO DENY ITEM A SECOND.

OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO DENY IF EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

OKAY. THAT MOTION TO DENY PASSES 6 TO 0. MOVE TO ITEM B, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE

[VIII.B. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon an Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow for an Auto, Gas Pumps/Fuel Sales use on approximately two (2) acres; generally located at the northeast corner of Frontier Parkway and Preston Road, within the City limits, for Murphy USA (Celina Gateway). (Mohan)]

GAS PUMPS FUEL SALES USE ON APPROXIMATELY TWO ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF FRONTIER PARKWAY AND PRESTON ROAD WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS FOR MURPHY USA. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THIS ITEM IS FOR THE MURPHY USA SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

THIS PROPERTY IS ROUGHLY IDENTIFIED BY THE RED STAR, GENERALLY IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR ULTIMATE BOUNDARY.

AND THEN MORE SPECIFICALLY SHOWN HERE AT THE HARD CORNER, THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF FRONTIER AND PRESTON.

SO AS A QUICK BACKGROUND, THIS PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY TWO ACRES.

IT IS CURRENTLY WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS AND HAS EXISTING COMMERCIAL ZONING, AND THE APPLICANT DESIRES TO OPERATE A GAS STATION FOR ENTITLEMENT.

OVERVIEW. THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES WHAT WE CALL AN AUTO GAS PUMP, FUEL STATION, GAS STATION TO FIRST OBTAIN A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FROM CITY COUNCIL TO LEGALLY OPERATE BOTH WITHIN THE COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT AND THE PRESTON ROAD OVERLAY.

AN S, U, P IS REQUIRED FOR LAND USES THAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE MAY ALLOW, BUT THAT ARE ALSO SCREENED AND SPECIALLY APPROVED FOR SITUATIONAL SUITABILITY, AND THE PURPOSE IS TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THIS PROPOSAL.

AND THE CITY DOES HAVE BROAD DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL OF THIS SUP.

HERE IS THE CONCEPT PLAN SHOWING THE PROPERTY WITH THE CONVENIENCE STORE, AS WELL AS THE FUELING CANOPY AND PUMPS, AND AN OVERALL CORNER CONCEPT PLAN THAT SHOWS THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THERE'S ALSO A RETAIL RESTAURANT, AND THEN SPROUTS IS ALSO FURTHER TUCKED INTO THE PROPERTY AS WELL.

AND THEN THESE ARE THE CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS THAT SHOW THE GENERAL LOOK OF THE BUILDING.

THEY WILL COMPLY WITH ALL OF OUR HEAVY MASONRY STANDARDS FOR POLICY CONSIDERATIONS.

THE CITY HAS BROAD DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL OF THIS.

SUP. THE REQUEST IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH OUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

THE PROPOSED SUP HELPS DIVERSIFY THE TAX BASE.

WE WILL HAVE MODERN DESIGN STANDARDS. IT IS AT AN INTERSECTION OF TWO SIX LANE ROADS, WHICH IS COMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF USE.

THE MARKET DEMAND FOR ADDITIONAL GAS STATIONS IS HIGH, AND THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN WILL ACCOMMODATE THE USE AS WELL.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL 5 TO 1 WITH A DISSENTING VOTE FROM COMMISSIONER SAMUELSON AT THE MEETING LAST MONTH.

THE DISSENTING VOTE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS MORE THAN JUST A GAS STATION AT THE HARD CORNER, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT OVERALL EXHIBIT FOR HIM. BUT THERE IS MORE COMING AT THE CORNER AS WELL, SO THERE WAS NO PUBLIC FEEDBACK AT THE PUBLIC HEARING.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS PRESENTED, AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. YES, MY MY MAIN COMMENT TO THAT WOULD BE IN WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT, PLEASE JUST HAVE THEM SPEND A MORNING OR AN AFTERNOON CATTY CORNERED ACROSS AT 711.

[01:00:03]

I THINK THEY'RE ASKING FOR TWO ACRES. IF IT'S TWO ACRES RATHER THAN ONE AND A HALF.

I THINK THEY'LL BE ABLE TO TO DO ALL OF THAT.

BUT KNOWING WE DON'T HAVE A GAS STATION EAST OF PRESTON TODAY.

I THINK THIS IS GREAT. I OBVIOUSLY WANT IT TO BE IN SALINA.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE TRAVELING TO PROSPER USING THAT SERVICE STATION AND IT SHOULD COME HERE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL. OKAY.

IF NOT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION FOR ITEM. OH, IT'S PUBLIC HEARING.

SORRY. OH, I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 731.

ANYONE WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM B? OKAY, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN LOOK FOR A MOTION FOR ITEM B, MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM B. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND FROM EDDIE.

EVERYBODY, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. OKAY. THAT MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. MOVE TO ITEM C. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE ON THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY EIGHT ACRES,

[VIII.C. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon an Ordinance on the voluntary annexation of approximately eight (8) acres; generally located west of FM 455 (future Legacy Drive) and approximately 650 feet north of future O’Brien Drive, within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), for Yellow Door Storage. (Mohan)]

FOR YELLOW DOOR STORAGE. THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS ITEM IS FOR BOTH THE ANNEXATION AND PD ZONING FOR YELLOW DOOR STORAGE.

THIS PROPERTY IS IDENTIFIED BY THE RED STAR, GENERALLY IN THE NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF OUR BOUNDARY.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE IT SPECIFICALLY WEST OF LEGACY FUTURE LEGACY DRIVE AND GENERALLY NORTH THE FUTURE O'BRIEN DRIVE ADJACENT TO THE ENCLAVE AT LEGACY HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD.

AS A BACKGROUND, THE COUNCIL APPROVED A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THIS PROPERTY IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR THAT OUTLINED ITS FUTURE ZONING AND ANNEXATION.

THIS PROPERTY IS ROUGHLY EIGHT ACRES. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE ETJ WITH THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT THAT EXPIRES IN AUGUST OF 2035, AND THE GOVERNING AGREEMENT ALLOWS FOR COMMERCIAL AND THEN MINI WAREHOUSE SELF STORAGE IN THE BACK.

SO SPECIFICALLY, THE PD ALLOWED A BASE ZONE BASED ZONING OF COMMERCIAL MINI WAREHOUSE.

SELF-STORAGE WAS CONTEMPLATED TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY, AND THE FRONT 300FT WAS CONTEMPLATED FOR FUTURE COMMERCIAL USES.

FOR THAT AGREEMENT. SO HERE'S THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT SHOWS THE PROPERTY WITH THE PRIMARY BUILDING UP FRONT, INCLUDING AN OFFICE KIND OF AT THE CORNER OF THAT LARGE BUILDING IN THE MIDDLE.

AND THEN THE STORAGE UNITS FURTHER IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.

AND THEN HERE ARE THE RENDERINGS SHOWING THE BUILDING AS WELL AS THE ROLL UP DOORS.

THEY'RE NOT, THEY WILL NOT BE YELLOW. THEY WILL BE NEUTRAL IN COLOR.

SO FOR POLICY CONSIDERATIONS, THIS ASSOCIATED ANNEXATION BRINGS EIGHT ACRES INTO OUR CITY LIMITS.

STORAGE IS AN APPROPRIATE LAND USE HERE BEHIND THE COMMERCIAL FOR A PROPERTY THAT'S THIS DEEP.

THE HARD CORNER OF O'BRIEN AND LEGACY WILL NOT BE IMPACTED WITH THIS REQUEST.

IT WILL BE KEPT FOR FUTURE RETAIL OPTIONS. STORAGE GENERALLY TENDS TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THE REQUEST IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

DURING THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING, WE DID HAVE ONE SPEAKER WHO EXPRESSED A FEW CONCERNS, ONE ABOUT THE POTENTIAL TWO STORY UNITS WITH WINDOWS OVERLOOKING THE PROPERTY.

BUT THE ONLY TWO STORY LOCATION IS IN THE OFFICE, WHICH IS 400FT FROM THE REAR PROPERTY LINE, AND IT DOES NOT INCLUDE WINDOWS. THEY ALSO HAD CONCERNS ON LIGHTING.

STORAGE PROJECTS GENERALLY DON'T GENERATE LIGHTING COMPLAINTS.

AND WE ALSO HAVE DESIGN STANDARDS THAT WHEN WE REVIEW THE PROJECT IN PERMITTING, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR LIGHTING STANDARDS ARE MET.

THEY ALSO EXPRESSED THAT 40 A 40 FOOT SETBACK WAS INSUFFICIENT.

REGIONAL STANDARD IS GENERALLY TEN. AND THEN ALL OF OUR STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL ADJACENT RESIDENTIALS TYPICALLY THE 40.

THE SPEAKER DID NOTE THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAND USE ITSELF.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR MEETING LAST MONTH, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS PRESENTED. I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

AND AS A NOTE, THIS IS TWO TWO SEPARATE ITEMS. THE ZONING AND ANNEXATION. OKAY. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON LIGHTING? JUST A COMMENT ACTUALLY MUCH LIKE WE DID WITH THE OLD LOG TRAIL STORAGE, THE ONE THAT'S ON OLD LOG TRAIL AND MUCH LIKE WE DID WITH THE ONE 1385.

THE ONLY THING I WOULD ASK IS TO DO IS PUSH THE LIGHTING INWARD, GIVEN THE PROXIMITY TO THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT BEHIND THEM.

SO WE JUST MAKE SURE WE WRITE THAT IN, MUCH LIKE WE DID WITH THOSE TWO, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S THE LIGHTING COMES IN, RATHER THAN OUT PUTTING TOO MUCH LIGHT POLLUTION INTO THE RESULTING NEIGHBORHOODS.

YES, I MIGHT AS WELL AGREE WITH WENDY ON HER LAST NIGHT.

IT'S RECORDED RIGHT? EVERYBODY. EVERYBODY HEARD IT.

THE IT'S ABOUT THE LIGHTING AND THAT PLACE DOWN THE OLD OR DOWN BY GLEN CROSSINGS.

[01:05:06]

DO WE HAVE WE RESEARCHED TO TO ADD ON TO WHAT THEY SAID.

I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE MEETING WITH CAR DEALERSHIPS, THEY TALKED ABOUT SOME TYPE OF.

I MEAN, IT'S BASICALLY MOTION SENSOR THAT A LOT OF THE DEALERS DO NOW.

IS THERE ANY TYPE OF ORDINANCE OR ANYTHING AS WE HAVE THESE COMING THAT WE COULD LOOK AT ADOPTING THAT KIND OF THING WHERE IT'S NOT A 24 HOUR FACILITY, OR MAYBE IT IS A 24 HOUR FACILITY, BECAUSE YOU CAN GAIN ACCESS WHERE WE ADOPT SOME KIND OF ORDINANCE AS THESE PLACES DEVELOP, WHERE THEY GO THROUGH MOTION SENSORS OR THAT.

IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO? I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN APPLY THAT TO THIS PROPERTY OR IN TURN, IF THAT WOULD BE THE APPLICANT'S CHOICE, BUT JUST IF THEY'RE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL, COULD WE TIE SOME TYPE OF MOTION SENSORS TO IT? SO OUR CURRENT OUR CURRENT PHOTOMETRIC REQUIREMENTS ARE BASICALLY ZERO AT THE PROPERTY LINE.

SO WE'VE LEARNED LESSONS FROM THAT STORAGE LOCATION AS WELL.

AND WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S NO POLES THAT ARE CLOSE TO THE RESIDENTIAL.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT OUR LIGHTING ORDINANCE NOW.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK INTO. OKAY.

THANK YOU. NO OTHER COMMENT. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM C.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM C? OKAY. IF NO ONE WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM C, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM C. I HAVE A MOTION AND I HAVE A SECOND.

EVERYBODY PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES FOR ITEM C. OKAY, THAT MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0.

WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM D. WE ALREADY SAW THIS PRESENTATION AS IS CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE BY ZONING

[VIII.D. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon an Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance by zoning approximately eight (8) acres to a Planned Development (PD) with Commercial, Office, and Retail District (C) base zoning, and modified development standards; generally located west of FM 455 (future Legacy Drive) and approximately 650 feet north of future O’Brien Drive, for Yellow Door Storage. (Mohan)]

I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM D.

737. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM D? OKAY, IF NOBODY WANTS TO SPEAK ON ITEM D, I WILL CLOSE THAT PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN EITHER LOOK FOR COMMENTS OR ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MOTION TO APPROVE D. SECOND, THE MOTION AND I HAVE A SECOND.

EVERYBODY PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE FOR ITEM D. OKAY.

THAT MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM E, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE

[VIII.E. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon an Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance by amending an approximate 28 acre portion of Planned Development (PD) No. 122 with modified development standards; generally located at the southwest corner of Louisiana Drive and future J. Fred Smith Parkway, within the City limits, for Uptown Commerce Center. (McAfee)]

NUMBER 122 WITH MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF LOUISIANA DRIVE AND FUTURE J.

FRED SMITH PARKWAY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS FOR UPTOWN COMMERCE CENTER.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS EVENING WE'RE LOOKING AT A PROPERTY ON NORTH LOUISIANA STREET JUST SOUTH OF THE FUTURE J.

FRED SMITH PARKWAY, AS SHOWN ON THE MAP. THE MAP IN FRONT OF US.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 28 ACRES.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY WITHIN CITY LIMITS AND ZONED UNDER A 2021 PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

NUMBER 122 THAT DESIGNATES THE AREA AS AREA E, WHICH ALLOWS FOR A LAUNDRY LIST OF FLEXIBLE LAND USES DEPENDING UPON WHAT THE MARKET WOULD BRING. ONE OF THE CHALLENGES ON THIS TRACT WAS THAT IT'S ACROSS FROM SOME OF THE MORE TENURED OR OLDER DEVELOPMENTS ON LOUISIANA.

SOME OF THE CHEMICAL PLANTS AND PALLET PLANTS AND WHATNOT.

SO, YOU KNOW, MASTER PLANNED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY WAS NOT THE OBVIOUS CHOICE.

SO WE GAVE IT SOME OPTIONS TO COME IN IN THE FUTURE.

AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A COMMERCE CENTER COMPOSED OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, CLEAN INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.

AND THE REQUEST IS TO AMEND THE PD TO ALLOW FOR UP TO 100% OF THE LIGHT, INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES ON THE 28 ACRES.

THE EXISTING PD AGAIN ALLOWS FOR A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY, AND COMMERCIAL.

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST INCLUDES THE ELIMINATION OF MULTIFAMILY FROM THIS TRACT.

SO THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST NOT ONLY ALLOWS FOR THESE YOU KNOW, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON 100% OF THE PROPERTY.

IT ALSO ELIMINATES MULTIFAMILY AS A LAND USE ON THIS 2827 AND CHANGE ACRES.

THIS IS THE CONCEPT PLAN. FLORIDA DRIVE IS PROPOSED TO SWING OVER EASTWARD TO AND CONNECT INTO LOUISIANA DRIVE THAT WOULD FORM THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THIS PROPERTY. SO THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE AT THE CORNER OF LOUISIANA AND FLORIDA IN THE FUTURE, WHICH WOULD BE A NICE INTERSECTION.

[01:10:01]

I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS IN THE AUDIENCE. COULD MAYBE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE REQUEST.

THEY'RE ABIDING BY THE CITY'S INDUSTRIAL ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, WHICH DOES STILL REQUIRE MASONRY BUILDINGS.

YOU SEE WITH THE RENDERINGS ON THE, ON THE SCREEN THAT IT'S AN INTERACTIVE FACILITY AND IT WOULD BE HIGH VALUE.

NICE RENDERINGS. SO IN TERMS OF POLICY, THE, IT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR OFFICE SERVICE AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TENANTS.

IT ELIMINATES MULTIFAMILY ENTITLEMENT FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN SHOWS THIS AREA RESERVED FOR CONNECTED CORE DEVELOPMENT.

IN TERMS OF NEIGHBORING ADJACENCY IMPACTS TO THE NORTH, YOU SEE THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT STORAGE SITE TO THE SOUTH IS FLORIDA DRIVE AND FUTURE MULTIFAMILY TO THE WEST IS ANOTHER SITE THAT HAS A MIX OF LAND USES AND TO THE EAST IS LOUISIANA DRIVE, WHICH IS AGAIN A STATE BUSINESS HIGHWAY AND ADDITIONAL INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES TO THE EAST OF THAT.

YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS AT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

AND THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT ITS REGULAR MEETING IN MARCH.

THERE'S NO PUBLIC FEEDBACK AT THIS PUBLIC HEARING.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS PRESENTED AND IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM E AT 742.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM E? OKAY. YEAH. COME UP HERE. IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND THEN YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. OKAY. MELISSA BATCHELOR, 306 CRIPPLE CREEK DRIVE.

I GUESS MY ONLY QUESTION IS, I GUESS THIS MIGHT BE FOR THE APPLICANT OF WHAT THEY'RE KIND OF THINKING ABOUT FOR THIS AREA, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF WE'RE GOING TO KEEP GROWING, MAKING EVERYTHING RIGHT HERE AND HAVING NOT TO DRIVE TO FRISCO OR PROSPER TO HAVE ENTERTAINMENT RIGHT HERE. AND WHEN I SAY ENTERTAINMENT, I MEAN SELF-CARE OR ATHLETIC FACILITIES OR THINGS THAT ARE HERE.

AND THIS MIGHT BE OPENING UP TO LIKE AN INDUSTRIAL FEEL THAT MAKES ME THINK OF FRISCO.

WHAT'S THAT AREA WHERE THERE'S ALL THE GYMNASTICS AND THE SPORTS THERE? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT? AND IF WE CAN HAVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW FOR IT.

SO AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE THINKING. I KNOW IT'S OPEN, BUT IT COULD BE A COOL OPPORTUNITY.

[VIII.F. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 2025- 02, the City's Master Thoroughfare Plan and Map. (Oduro)]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M BACK NOW TO TALK ABOUT FLOODPLAIN.

THIS TIME BY. ROADWAY STAFF IS BRINGING FORWARD A COUPLE OF UPDATES TO THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

JUST A QUICK REMINDER, THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN IS A BIG PICTURE VISION OF HOW WE WANT ALL THE ROAD NETWORK TO CONNECT ACROSS THE CITY.

THE LINES ARE VERY CONCEPTUAL WITHOUT ANY DETAILED DESIGN.

SO ONCE A PROJECT IS GETTING CLOSE TO DEVELOPMENT, WE DO HAVE A DEEPER LOOK AT THESE ALIGNMENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY STILL MAKE SENSE. THIS SOMETIMES RESULTS IN SOME CHANGES AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE PRESENTING TONIGHT.

FOR CLEAR CREEK PARKWAY AND FLORIDA DRIVE, STARTING WITH CLEAR CREEK PARKWAY, COUNCIL APPROVED THE ZONING FOR THE E.RIK CAR DEALERSHIP LAST MONTH. IT IS PROPOSED TO GO AT THE NORTH SOUTHWEST CORNER OF FUTURE CLEAR CREEK AND DALLAS PARKWAY. THE CONNECTION SAW THE INTRODUCTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT

[01:15:05]

THE CONNECTION IS CLOSE TO AN EXIT RAMP FOR THE TOLLWAY, WHICH RAISES A SAFETY CONCERN.

SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE REMOVAL OF THE CONNECTION FROM THE DALLAS PARKWAY AND IN EXCHANGE, DESIGNATE COUNTY ROAD 970 AS A COLLECTOR AND EXTEND PORTOFINO TO CONNECT CLEAR CREEK BACK TO DALLAS PARKWAY AT A LOCATION NORTH OF THE EXIT RAMP, WHICH IS RELATIVELY SAFER.

THE DEVELOPER CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS WHICH SUPPORTED THESE CHANGES.

MOVING ON TO FLORIDA DRIVE, FLORIDA. THE COUNCIL APPROVED THE AMENDMENT FOR THE UPTOWN DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT JANUARY OF LAST YEAR.

THE DA PROPOSED THE REALIGNMENT OF FLORIDA DRIVE.

THE IMAGE TO MY LEFT IS THE CURRENT ALIGNMENT OF FLORIDA AS SHOWN ON THE CURRENT MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

IT CONNECTS TO J. FRED SMITH TO THE NORTH AND J.

FRED EXTEND TO CONNECT TO LOUISIANA TO THE EAST.

AND THE IMAGE TO MY RIGHT IS THE ALIGNMENT THAT WAS PROPOSED BY THE DEVELOPER, WHICH WAS APPROVED AS PART OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE RDA. THE. SO THIS WILL BE THE PROPOSED ALIGNMENT PER THE DA.

INSTEAD OF FLORIDA EXTENDING NORTH TO CONNECT TO JFRD, IT WILL CONNECT DIRECTLY TO LOUISIANA DRIVE.

THE DEVELOPER WILL BE OBLIGATED TO DESIGN AND BUILD FLORIDA DRIVE PER THE NEW ALIGNMENT.

WE DO BELIEVE THESE CHANGES WILL PROVIDE THE CONNECTIVITY THAT WE NEED WHILE BEING REALISTIC WITH SAFETY AND TIMING.

GENERALLY, THESE CHANGES WILL BRING THE CONNECTIVITY IN ALL THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID APPROVE UNANIMOUSLY FOR THIS TO. RECOMMENDED UNANIMOUSLY.

SORRY FOR THIS. CHANGES TO BE APPROVED AND STAFF IS ALSO RECOMMENDING APPROVAL AS PRESENTED.

AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 748.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM F? OKAY. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM F AND LOOK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM F.

I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE F. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I HAVE A SECOND. IF EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

OKAY. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO ACTION ITEMS.

[IX.A. Consider and act to award Bid 2026-028 for the Glendenning Transmission Line project to S.J. Louis Construction of Texas, LTD., in the amount of $16,718,733.73, plus a ten (10) percent contingency of $1,671,873.37 for a total amount not to exceed $18,390,607.10. (Brawner)]

THIS IS THE TRANSMISSION LINE THAT WILL CONNECT FROM FM 428 OVER TO OUR NEW HIGH PRESSURE PUMP STATION ON OLD GLENDENNING ROAD, AS SHOWN IN THE EXHIBIT ABOVE. JUST AS A QUICK BACKGROUND, WE STARTED THIS IN 2022 WITH THE CONTRACT WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS TO DO THE TRANSMISSION DESIGN AND PUMP STATION DESIGN IN 2023.

FOR A QUICK SUMMARY OF THE WORK, THIS IS 12,500 LINEAR FEET OF A 54 INCH PIPELINE THAT WILL PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE SOUTHEAST, TO THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP, HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM DIRECTLY, INSTEAD OF BYPASSING LIKE WE DO TODAY.

IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE SOME 1800 FEET OF PIPELINE, BRINGING IT UP AND CONNECTING IT TO OUR SOUTHEAST PUMP STATION.

ALL THIS IS IN ANTICIPATION OF LAKE RALPH HALL COMING ONLINE IN 2027.

THIS IS THE LINE THAT WILL ALLOW US TO FEED THE NEW WATER TO THE HIGH PRESSURE SIDE.
