          MOTION BY RICK, SECOND BY AINSLEY. YOU MAY VOTE NOW. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. ITEM NUMBER FIVE. CONSIDERATION OF AN ALTERNATIVE STANDARD RELATED TO ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS OF THE I 35 E QUARTER OVERLAY DISTRICT ON 1.056 ACRE TRACT OF LAND OUT OF THE J. SUTTON SURVEY, ABSTRACT NUMBER 1155 AND THE EPIC SURVEY ABSTRACT NUMBER 1014, LOCATED ON THE NORTH CORNER OF I 35 EAST FRONTAGE ROAD AND FOX AVENUE INTERSECTION, AS REQUESTED BY EMILY ZOLLNER, P.E, OF MANHART CONSULTING ON BEHALF OF THE RUNTIME CENTERS, LLC, THE PROPERTY OWNERS. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. AT THE LAST PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, I PRESENTED SEVERAL ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS RELATED TO THIS PROJECT. AFTER THAT MEETING, THE ELEVATIONS HAD BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY ALTERED FROM WHAT I PRESENTED TO YOU, AND I WANTED TO BRING BACK FOR THE ELEVATIONS WHAT THE ALTERNATIVE STANDARD YOU YOU RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AT THAT MEETING. THIS ALTERNATIVE STANDARD, IT IS STILL LACKING IN A SIMILAR METHOD TO THE PREVIOUS ALTERNATIVE STANDARD, AND THEY ARE REQUESTING TO REDUCE THE GLASS BUILDING MATERIAL REQUIREMENT FROM 40% TO 0%. 100% REDUCTION ALONG THE I 35 FRONTAGE ROAD. I HAVE RENDERINGS OF THE ELEVATIONS UP ON THE SCREEN AND I HAVE A QUICK COMPARISON. THIS IS THE PREVIOUS ELEVATION THAT WAS APPROVED AT THE LAST MEETING, AND THIS IS THE NEW ELEVATIONS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THIS, AND I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THEM. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS QUESTIONS FOR JONATHAN. I THINK I HAVE A I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT. SURE. HOW ARE YOU DOING, COMMISSIONER? HI. MY NAME IS WARREN. I'M WITH FRONTLINE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT. SPEAKING FOR BOTH THE OWNERS HERE, WE HAVE PATRICK AND RICHARD. AND YOUR QUESTION? WHAT? WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THIS NEW REQUEST? THE ORIGINAL DESIGN PRESENTED. IT WASN'T INTERESTING ENOUGH FOR OUR VERY FINE GENTLEMAN BEHIND ME. SO WE WENT BACK THROUGH A REDESIGN PROCESS, TRYING TO MAKE THAT CONCEPT VERY UNIQUE TO THE BRAND. YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO TO A WHATABURGER AND YOU SEE THE A-FRAME, YOU DON'T EVEN GOT TO KNOW IT'S A WHATABURGER, RIGHT? YOU JUST SEE A-FRAME. ORANGE, WHITE. LET'S REDESIGN. OKAY. BASED OFF THE COMMENTS OF THE LAST PLANNING ZONE MEETING, WHICH, BY THE WAY, SORRY I WASN'T HERE, BUT I WAS WATCHING VIRTUALLY. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS REGARDING, LIKE, THE GLASS WAS REMOVED, THE WINDOWS REINSERTED. BUT JONATHAN DID HAVE SOME CONCERNS REGARDING THE GLASS IN THE BACK. SO WE ADDED BACK SOME GLASS WHICH IS NOW BROUGHT US HERE. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO QUICKLY CLARIFY THAT THE ALTERNATIVE STANDARD IS THE SAME ALTERNATIVE STANDARD THAT WAS REQUESTED AND THE ELEVATIONS MEET THE I-35 OVERLAY IN THE SAME CAPACITY THE ORIGINAL ELEVATION DID. WE JUST FELT THAT THIS ELEVATION, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE ASKING FOR THE EXACT SAME ALTERNATIVE STANDARD, THAT IT WAS SUCH A DEPARTURE FROM WHAT I ORIGINALLY PRESENTED AT THE LAST MEETING, I WANTED TO BRING THE NEW ELEVATION FORWARD, BUT THERE'S NO NEW ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS BEING ASKED. IT'S THE SAME ALTERNATIVE STANDARD BEING ASKED FOR IT FOR A DIFFERENT ELEVATION. OKAY, GREAT. FOR AN UPGRADED DESIGN. THANK YOU RICHARD. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. YES, MA'AM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? IF NOT, I'LL READ THESE NAMES INTO THE RECORD. THERE'S BECCA DEACON. WARREN, WE'RE RICHARD. VILLAIN. VILLAIN. PRONOUNCE FOR ME, PLEASE. SO I'M CORRECT. THANK YOU. AND PATRICK LOCK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GENTLEMEN, IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS. COMMISSIONERS. NO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I DO HAVE A COMMENT. ONLY BECAUSE I DRIVE THAT EVERY DAY. AND I 
          [00:10:07]
STILL FEEL THE SAME WAY THAT I DID THE LAST TIME THAT I VOTED AGAINST THIS. IN REGARDS OF THE SAFETY. WHEN YOU'RE TURNING INTO THAT STREET RIGHT NOW, INTO YOUR PROPERTY, I'M JUST AFRAID THAT THAT MIGHT BE A SAFETY ISSUE. AND I MEAN, BUT THE CITY IS SAYING THAT IT'S FINE. BUT I STILL AM A LITTLE BIT SKEPTICAL AS TO IT GOING IN THAT AREA. NO, I THINK THEY'RE ALL FOR BECAUSE RIGHT, AS SOON AS THE BRIDGE AS YOU'RE DRIVING THROUGH, I MEAN, THERE'S LIKE A BLOCK, LIKE YOU CANNOT SEE IF SOMEBODY'S STOPPING BECAUSE THEY NOW REALIZE, OH, HERE'S WHERE I NEED TO COME AND PICK UP MY FOOD. I CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A SAFETY. THERE COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN, AT LEAST FOR ME. IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO A SCHOOL BEING CLOSE TO. BUT IF THE CITY IS SAYING THAT THIS IS GOOD AND ALL IS WELL, THEN BY ALL MEANS YOU'RE I GUESS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MY SUPPORT. BUT AS A PERSON THAT DRIVES THAT STREET IN THAT FRONTAGE, BECAUSE I GO THROUGH THERE TO GO TO SEVERAL OF THE PLACES THAT I FREQUENT, LIKE THAT STARBUCKS AND. JUST THAT GETTING INTO MAIN STREET RIGHT NOW AND BRAHMS. AND SO I STILL SEE A SOME KIND OF HAZARD. AND I WOULD HATE FOR NOT TO EXPRESS MY OPINION ON IT. IF IT'S SOMETHING LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD COMES OUT. YEAH. I MEAN, COMMISSIONER, THANK YOU FOR THAT. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER, THANK YOU FOR THE FOR RAISING THAT. YEAH. IN TERMS OF SAFETY, WE YOU KNOW, AT RUNTIME, WE DO BELIEVE THAT SAFETY IS ONE OF OUR PRIORITY BECAUSE IT'S CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. SO ANY IDEAS THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT HAVE AND ESPECIALLY WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE CITY TO FIGURE OUT LIKE HEY WHAT ELSE CAN WE WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO TO KIND OF REDUCE THE RISK OF ANYTHING? AND I THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BASICALLY JUST CAR DRIVING AND NOT SEEING ANYTHING. RIGHT. SO YEAH. SO WE YOU KNOW, WE BASICALLY HAVE IDEAS IN TERMS OF MAKE SIGNS VISIBLE TO SAY LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT THERE'S A CAR COMING IN AND THERE'S CAR COMING OUT. SO IT'S JUST A FUNCTION OF US COMMUNICATING. AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE OVERALL DESIGN IS, IS TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, SAFETY IN TERMS OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND SAFETY IS PART OF THAT. RIGHT? IS PART OF THE IS PART OF THE PACKAGE. OKAY. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? IT DOES, IT DOES. AND I MEAN BUT I STILL HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING. YEAH. 
          JUST BECAUSE MOST RECENTLY I PASSED BY THERE AND I WAS THINKING, OH YEP, THERE IT IS. 
          THERE'S THE ENTRANCE. AND I THOUGHT I COULD I MYSELF COULD EASILY MISS MISS IT. AND THEN KNOWING LIKE I NEED TO TURN WHERE IS GOING TO BE MY NEXT TURN AND IT WOULD BE INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD HAVING TO COME AROUND AGAIN. AND I'M THINKING, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WOULD BE. 
          YEAH, WELL, YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION FOR SURE. YEAH, YEAH. AND I THINK ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS LAST TIME MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT LIGHTING AND THE LIGHTING GOING INTO THE NEIGHBORS, AND I KNOW THAT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT HERE NOR THERE, BUT THAT'S ALSO A, YOU KNOW, THE ARE THE NEIGHBORS. I MEAN, I'M ASSUMING THE CITY HAS DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS RIGHT DURING THE ENGINEERING SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS. WE DO REQUIRE PHOTOMETRIC PLANS, AND WE MAKE SURE IT MEETS ALL THE STANDARDS OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, WHICH DOES HAVE SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR THE AMOUNT OF CANDLES OF LIGHT THAT CAN GO INTO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, YOU ALL HAVE MY SUPPORT THEN. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY, COMMISSIONERS. 
          I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ALTERNATIVE STANDARD AS PRESENTED. SECOND. MOTION BY JOSHUA. SECOND BY AARON. YOU MAY VOTE NOW. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. COMMISSIONERS, THIS ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR A FINAL DECISION ON MONDAY, MARCH 17TH, 2025 AT 7:00 PM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. RICHARD. ITEM NUMBER SIX CONSIDERATION OF AN ALTERNATIVE STANDARD ASSOCIATED WITH LANDSCAPING STANDARDS ON 0.935 ACRES LOCATED AT 591 BENJAMIN'S WAY, LEGALLY DESCRIBED, DESCRIBED AS LOTS FOUR, SIX AND 
          [00:15:03]
EIGHT. PINNELL SUBDIVISION PHASE FOUR ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LEE AS REQUESTED BY STEVEN HOMEIER OF HOMEIER ENGINEERING INCORPORATED ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER, ZINDEL HOLDINGS HOLDINGS. 
          EXCUSE ME LLC, 2501 TWO ALT STAND. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. AND ALTERNATIVE STANDARD IS BEING REQUESTED. FOR A SERVICE CONTRACTOR USE. OFF OF BENJAMIN'S WAY. THE SITE WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED IN 97. BUT IT WAS PURCHASED. AROUND 2018, I BELIEVE. BY AN OWNER. 
          AND THEY MADE SOME SITE IMPROVEMENTS, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE THE CORRECT PERMITS FOR THAT. THE SITE IMPROVEMENTS ARE ON THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE SITE. THIS ADDED DRIVE RIGHT HERE. THE ORIGINAL LOTS WERE THESE TWO RIGHT HERE. AND SO THEY RECEIVED NOTIFICATION ABOUT CODE COMPLIANCE. AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR SITE TO BRING IT UP TO CODE. AS WELL AS ADD FIVE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES ON THIS EASTERN PORTION AND A DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE. THEY'RE REQUESTING AN ALTERNATIVE STANDARD BECAUSE. THE CODE REQUIRES A 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER. BUT THE SITE, AS MENTIONED, IS PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED, AND THEY HAVE WHAT I BELIEVE IS ABOUT A TEN FOOT BUFFER. HERE THERE ARE SOME PREEXISTING TREES HERE, BUT THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO MAKE IT THAT 30 FOOT BASED OFF OF REQUIRED SPACING FOR MANEUVERING AND PARKING. SO THEY'RE REQUESTING A REDUCTION. TO LEAVE IT AT THE CURRENT 10%. AND TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS REDUCTION, THEY ARE ADDING TWO ADDITIONAL TREES ON THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE SITE HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN HERE. FOR THE ALTERNATIVE STANDARD. I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS, AND I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. COMMISSIONERS. THE APPLICANT IS HERE. MISTER HOMEIER IS HERE. IF WE HAVE ANYTHING. YES. I JUST WANT TO SAY I ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE ADDITION OF TREES. SO CAN'T GO WRONG THERE. ANY OTHER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? COMMISSIONERS. IF NOT, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS AS PRESENTED. SECOND. 
          MOTION BY AARON. SECOND BY AINSLEY. YOU MAY VOTE NOW. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. 
          COMMISSIONERS. THIS ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION ON MONDAY, MARCH 17TH, 2025 AT 7:00 PM. THANK YOU. AND THE NEXT ITEM WE HAVE IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IT'S 
          [D. Public Hearing ]
CONSIDERATION OF A ZONE CHANGE FROM PUBLIC USE. PU DISTRICT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT. TOWNHOUSE TWO PD TWO DISTRICT ON 3.211 ACRES. LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT THREE R BLOCK A CENTRAL ELEMENTARY ADDITION LOCATED AT 701 SOUTH CHARLES STREET. AS REQUESTED BY BENNY JAFARI, TSM, JV, LLC, THE PROPERTY OWNER. CASE NUMBER 20 3-08-6- P.Z. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. SO THIS PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY OWNED BY LEWISVILLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. THEY DID AUCTION OFF THE PROPERTY. AND IT WAS PURCHASED BY TSM JV. WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS A TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT. THAT WOULD OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR OWNERSHIP. THAT'S BASED OFF OF BELVILLE VILLAGE IN OLDTOWN, WHICH IS ANOTHER PROJECT THAT THEY COMPLETED. THEY'RE PROPOSING 55 TWO STORY TOWNHOMES, SOME WITH FRONT CHARLES AND SOME WOULD FRONT A NEW L L SHAPED STREET THAT THEY WOULD CONSTRUCT. THE ARCHITECTURE IS SIMILAR, ALTHOUGH NOT IDENTICAL, TO BELVILLE VILLAGE. THEY'VE CHANGED THE ROOF LINE A LITTLE BIT, AND SOME OF THE WINDOWS 
          [00:20:04]
WITHOUT THE CURVED TOPS TO ACHIEVE THE DENSITY. THERE ARE LOTS PROPOSED ARE SMALLER THAN THE BASE TWO ZONING STAFF DID ACTUALLY LOOK AT DOING AN OLD TOWN MIXED USE BASED ZONING, BECAUSE A LOT OF THE SETBACKS IN THAT ARE DIFFERENT. BUT WE WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, THAT THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY WITHIN THE OLD TOWN DESIGN DISTRICT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S JUST A FEW BLOCKS SOUTH OF PARNELL STREET. PARNELL STREET IS THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE OLD TOWN DESIGN DISTRICT. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT STREET HERE ON THE MAP IN FRONT OF YOU. SO THERE IS A TABLE THAT DOES OUTLINE A LOT OF THE SETBACK REDUCTIONS AGAIN IN THE OLD TOWN, MIXED USE TWO, THERE ARE MUCH LESSER RESTRICTIONS. IT'S A FIVE FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK. THERE'S BASICALLY A ZERO FOOT FRONT SETBACK. IT'S A FOUR FOOT REAR YARD SETBACK ALONG AN ALLEY. SO BUT WE DID USE THE TOWNHOUSE TWO AS THERE'S TOWNHOUSE TWO ZONING ACROSS THE STREET. AND THIS IS NOT WITHIN OLD TOWN. SO THIS IS THE SURVEY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. IT WAS USED AS KIND OF A MAINTENANCE REPAIR AREA FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THE STANDARDS ARE PUT HERE. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THEY ARE USING ONE OF OUR NEWER STREET RIGHT OF WAY SECTIONS THAT WE ADOPTED WITH OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. WHAT IT IS IT'S A SLIGHTLY WIDER RIGHT OF WAY, 53FT, SO THAT WE CAN ALLOW THE PLANTING OF STREET TREES IN THE PARKWAY. SINCE THE LOTS WON'T BE LARGE ENOUGH TO HAVE CANOPY TREES PLANTED ON THE INDIVIDUAL LOTS, THEY WOULD THEN PLANT TREES IN THE PARKWAY. YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS IS THE PROPOSED LAYOUT. ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS OF NOTE IS THAT THERE ARE TWO UNITS ON THE NORTH WEST CORNER THAT DO FACE INTO A VERY SMALL OPEN SPACE LOT. AND THEN ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS WITH THIS DENSITY IS TYPICALLY OUTSIDE OF OLD TOWN. 
          WE REQUIRE THREE OFF STREET PARKING SPACES PER UNIT. THEY'RE JUST DOING TWO. THEY HAVE A TWO CAR GARAGE PER UNIT. THEY ARE REAR ENTRY. SO EVERYTHING IS ALLEY ENTRY. SO YOU WON'T HAVE ANY GARAGE DOORS FACING THE STREET. BUT IT IS JUST A TWO CAR GARAGE. AND THEN THERE WILL BE ON STREET PARKING, BOTH ON THE EXISTING STREETS AND ON THE NEW STREETS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT. IF THEY WERE WITHIN THE OLD TOWN DESIGN DISTRICT, THE TWO CAR GARAGE WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO MEET OUR ORDINANCES. IT'S ONLY BECAUSE THEY'RE OUTSIDE OF THAT THAT THAT THIRD SPACE IS REQUIRED. THEY ARE ABOUT A TEN MINUTE WALK FROM MAIN STREET AND JUST ABOUT TWO BLOCKS SOUTH OF THE DESIGN DISTRICT, WHICH IS PART OF THE REASON FOR THAT. SIMILARLY, THEY'RE ALSO ASKING FOR SOME RELIEF ON THE SCREENING STANDARDS. THE SCREENING STANDARDS ARE REALLY DESIGNED TO PROTECT SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY'RE THE ONES COMING IN ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING OFFICE TO THE NORTH AND SCHOOL TO THE WEST. THEY'RE PROPOSING JUST A WOODEN FENCE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE ALLEY FOR SCREENING. STAFF HAS NO OBJECTIONS TO THAT. AND AGAIN, AN OLD TOWN SCREENING STANDARDS WOULD BE LESS ANYWAY. THE SURROUNDING USES ARE CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO THE WEST. THERE'S AN OFFICE TO THE NORTH, ACROSS CHARLES STREET TO THE EAST. IS SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M SORRY. TO THE SOUTH IS THE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. ZONED R7 FIVE TO THE EAST. WE HAVE TOWNHOMES ZONED OLD TOWN MIXED USE ONE, AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME WALK UP APARTMENTS THAT ARE ZONED MULTI-FAMILY ONE. THIS STAFF DOES FIND THAT THIS PROPOSAL IS SUPPORTING THE LEWISVILLE 2025 VISION PLAN, WHICH CALLS FOR THIS AREA TO BE A DIVERSE AND THRIVING NEIGHBORHOOD. SO ADDING TOWNHOMES DOES INCREASE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR HOME OWNERSHIP, AND IT ALSO PROVIDES WALKABILITY TO OLD TOWN, WHICH WOULD ALSO SUPPORT OUR BIG MOVE OF OLD TOWN. SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS NOW OR WE CAN DO THEM AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. I HAVE ONE AT THE AT THE MOMENT. SINCE THIS WAS A MAINTENANCE FACILITY, WAS THERE ANY REMEDIATION THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE? NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY ASK THE APPLICANT IF THAT WAS NECESSARY. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO I ALSO HAD A QUESTION. SO 55 UNITS IS I THINK READING THROUGH THIS THERE'S PARKING YOU KNOW LIKE COME IN THROUGH THE ALLEY. I'M ASSUMING THERE'S NO PLACE TO PARK OTHER THAN IN YOUR GARAGE. THERE'S NO DRIVEWAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO ANY ADDITIONAL AS WE ALL KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS PARK IN THEIR GARAGES BECAUSE THEY FILL IT UP WITH STUFF. I MEAN, IT'S WHERE EVERYONE ELSE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PARK ON THE STREET. ANYBODY THAT COMES TO SEE EM IS GOING TO PARK ON THE STREET. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE POTENTIAL TO HAVE A LOT OF CARS AROUND THIS AREA AND PARKING ON THE STREET. IS ANYONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, OR IS THAT COME UP AS AN ISSUE FROM ANYBODY OR. I DON'T NECESSARILY SEE THAT AS AN ISSUE, BECAUSE THE STREETS ARE DESIGNED TO ALLOW FOR PARKING ON EITHER SIDE OF THE STREET. AND WITH THIS STREETSCAPE, WOULD THE 53 FOOT SECTION THAT WAS DESIGNED FOR DENSER DEVELOPMENT. SO WE STILL DO HAVE STREET TREES. SO ESSENTIALLY YOU'LL HAVE YOUR HOME, A LITTLE BIT OF A LANDSCAPE BUFFER THAT COULD ACCOMMODATE SOME SHRUBS OR GROUND COVER, THINGS LIKE THAT. YOU'LL HAVE YOUR SIDEWALK, THEN YOU'LL HAVE A SIX FOOT WIDE PLANTING STRIP WHERE THE TREES WILL GO. SO THE TREES ARE ALWAYS AT LEAST TEN FEET AWAY FROM THE BUILDING FOUNDATION. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TREE. YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE A CAR PARKED, AND 
          [00:25:04]
THEN YOU'LL HAVE YOUR TRAVEL LANE. OKAY, SO IF EVERYONE HAS A CAR, THERE'S 55 CARS THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE. TWO CARS, THERE'S 100 CARS, AND I JUST. IS THERE ANY CHANCE IF THIS IS GOING TO BLEED INTO NEIGHBORHOODS, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO START PARKING IN NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO START HAVING ISSUES WITH, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS COMPLAINING BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE NOW PARKING ON THEIR STREETS, IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSES AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. I DON'T I'M JUST SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF CARS TO ADD TO THAT AREA THERE. YEAH. SO EACH UNIT DOES STILL HAVE A TWO CAR GARAGE, SO HOPEFULLY THEY GET AT LEAST ONE IN THAT GARAGE I WOULD HOPE. AND THEN THERE IS ON STREET PARKING WITH THE NEW STREETS A AND B THAT ARE PROPOSED WITH THE SUBDIVISION. AND SO TYPICALLY 22 TO 24 SPACES FOR AN ON STREET PARKING. THAT'S ABOUT THE WIDTH OF A LOT HERE. YOU ALSO HAVE THE ENDS THE END CAPS WHERE PEOPLE COULD PARK. 
          PEOPLE CAN ALSO PARK ON CHARLES STREET AND POTENTIALLY LAKE HAVEN, BUT RIGHT NOW, NOT IN ITS CURRENT CONFIGURATION, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S CHARLES STREET WOULD ALSO BE A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO PARK. THANK YOU. SORRY, MIKE. YOU. I, I SHARE RICK'S CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE NO DRIVEWAYS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE MILL STREET IS BEING REDONE AND WE ESSENTIALLY HAVE TWO PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE, AND WE HAVE WE CAN'T SEE THERE'S ONE LANE IN AND ONE LANE OUT. AND IF YOU HAVE CARS PARKING ON TWO SIDES, THAT JUST THAT FEELS LIKE WE'RE SETTING SOMEBODY UP TO FAIL BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE COMING AROUND A CORNER. OR WHAT IF EMERGENCY SERVICES NEEDS TO COME IN AND IT JUST DOESN'T. IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FEASIBLE. IF THERE ARE LIKE MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE THAT DRIVE IN A HOUSEHOLD AND THERE JUST HAPPENS TO BE MORE CARS. I WILL SAY THE LAYOUT IS VERY SIMILAR TO BELVILLE VILLAGE, WHICH ALSO DOES NOT HAVE A THIRD SPACE. SO THAT IS WITHIN OLD TOWN. THE DIMENSIONS AND THE PRODUCT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT. SO IT'S ALL ALLEY ACCESS. THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO PARK BEHIND YOUR GARAGE IN THE ALLEY. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DO PARK ON THE STREET IN BELVILLE VILLAGE. I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT. 
          BLEEDING OVER INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS OR ABOUT EMERGENCY SERVICES NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THROUGH. THANK YOU. I THINK ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS, TOO, IS THE INTERSECTIONS. THEY ARE MEETING ALL OF OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR CORNER CLIPS. THAT'S THE ANGLE. 
          YOU'LL SEE THAT THE ANGLES AT EACH OF THE CORNERS. THAT'S WHAT REALLY HELPS AND AIDS IN VISIBILITY FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND TURNING TRAFFIC. SO IF THERE'S CARS PARKED THERE. YES. 
          OKAY. YEAH. AND AGAIN, IT'S VERY TYPICAL, THIS TYPE OF DENSITY. LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE BELVILLE VILLAGE IS ONE EXAMPLE, BUT EVEN SOUTH VILLAGE IS ANOTHER. EVEN TIGHTER. I THINK THEY'RE RIGHT OF WAY WIDTHS ARE A LITTLE SMALLER. AND AGAIN, IT'S MORE OF AN URBAN, MORE WALKABLE. WE DON'T WANT REALLY HIGH SPEEDS. WE WANT THE CARS TO GO SLOW. AND USUALLY PARKED CARS ON A STREET DOES TEND TO MAKE TRAFFIC SLOW DOWN. AND THIS IS RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF OLD TOWN. SO THAT'S KIND OF ONE OF THE REASONS WHY DEVELOPMENT OF THIS DENSITY KIND OF AIDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OLD TOWN, AND TO THE CHARACTER AND THE FEEL AND THE DENSITY. THANK YOU RICHARD. I WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR BRINGING UP THE OLD TOWN EXPERIENCE. WE WERE WALKING TOUR, GOT TO SEE SOME OF THE RESULTS OF NOT HAVING THOSE DIAGONAL CUTS. THE GEOMETRIES AT THE END. IF YOU ALL FEEL LIKE YOU'VE APPLIED THOSE LESSONS TO THIS DESIGN, CORRECT. THEY HAVE PROVIDED DIFFERENT CORNER CLIPS. 
          WE ARE DOING A FULL WIDTH STREET RIGHT AWAY. WE HAVE NOT REDUCED THE STREET RIGHT OF WAY AT ALL, WHICH IS, I THINK, WHERE A LOT OF SOME OF THE ISSUES CAME FROM IN OTHER PROJECTS. SO I THINK THAT THAT REALLY DOES HELP WITH THIS PROJECT. AND SO FAR AS WE KNOW, THE, THE, THE NEEDS OF SANITATION, FIRE, THOSE TYPE OF VEHICLES REMAIN THE SAME FROM THOSE PREVIOUS LESSONS. YEAH, WE HAVE ACTUALLY WE'VE WITH THE ALLEYS THE ALLEYS ARE ACTUALLY BEING PAVED A LITTLE BIT WIDER. 
          ONE OF THEM IS BEING PAVED A LITTLE BIT WIDER. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS NOT FOR THE SANITATION TRUCKS. THE STANDARDS ARE STANDARD ALLEYS THAT WE USE ACROSS LEWISVILLE IN TERMS OF THE WIDTHS OF THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE PAVEMENT AND EVERYTHING. THE REASON THAT WE PAVED IT WIDER WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE HALF A DRIVEWAY BEHIND A HOME THAT ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO WANT TO TRY TO PARK THERE AND THEN HANG OUT AND BLOCK THE ALLEY. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE WERE IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT THAT IS NOT A PARKING SPACE. OKAY. THANK YOU. 
          IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS, YES. GO AHEAD. CAN YOU GO TO THE LOCATION MAP? I WANT TO SEE IF I 
          [00:30:07]
WANT TO KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING AT, WHAT THIS IS SURROUNDED BY. SO TO THE WEST IS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. TO THE NORTH IS TO THE DIRECT NORTH IS A BUSINESS. AND THEN IS THAT SINGLE FAMILY? THERE'S TOWNHOMES HERE AT THE INTERSECTION OF CHARLES AND HIGH SCHOOL DRIVE. AND THEN BELOW THOSE TOWNHOMES THERE'S SOME MULTI-FAMILY. AND THEN SOUTH OF LAKE HAVEN IS SINGLE FAMILY. 
          OKAY. AND THEN NORTH, THERE'S SOME MORE SINGLE FAMILY. YES. NORTH OF HIGH SCHOOL DRIVE. AND. 
          ENTRY FORM? YES. AND THE CHURCH'S PARKING LOT? YEAH. OKAY. AND YOU'RE KIND OF CATTY CORNER ACROSS FROM MILL STREET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS WELL. YEAH. IT'S JUST THAT'S. I JUST SEE THAT CHARLES AND LAKE HAVEN BEING HEAVILY TRAVELED BECAUSE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, AND I'M JUST, I DON'T KNOW, I'M STILL NOT SOLD ON THE PARKING PARKING ISSUE. I DON'T THINK CHARLES CARRIES A LOT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TRAFFIC. IT'S MORE HIGH SCHOOL. AND COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE A LITTLE BIT OFF LAKE HAVEN. YEAH, I GO DOWN THAT STREET EVERY DAY. THERE'S RARELY ANY TRAFFIC ON IT. THANK YOU. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND, TOO, THAT THIS IS REALLY AN EXTENSION. IT'S NOT OLD TOWN, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE OUR FELLOW COMMISSIONERS TO CONSIDER THIS AN EXTENSION OF OUR CITY'S OLD TOWN. IT'S TWO BLOCKS AWAY. SO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THERE, IT'S AN EMPTY LOT TODAY. WE'RE BRINGING IN MORE ACTIVITY FOR OUR BUSINESSES IN THE OLD TOWN DISTRICT. MORE RESIDENTS, MORE DENSITY. RIGHT PAST THAT CHARLES STREET. YOU'LL SEE THAT SOUTH VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT RICK WAS TALKING ABOUT LAID OUT VERY SIMILAR, A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER. 
          SO THE ALLEYS HERE ARE ACTUALLY WIDER TO THE POINT. AND THE STREET RIGHT AWAY IS A LITTLE BIT WIDER THAN THAT OTHER DEVELOPMENT THERE. AND ALSO FOR CLARIFICATION, CHARLES STREET IS A COLLECTOR STREET WITH A PAYMENT WIDTH OF 42FT. SO IT'S. ADEQUATELY HAS ADEQUATE WIDTH TO ACCOMMODATE PARKED CARS AND STILL HAVE WELL OVER 24FT OR TWO 12 FOOT TRAVEL LANES. SO IT'S DESIGNED TO CARRY A LITTLE BIT HIGHER VOLUMES AND TO ACCOMMODATE ON STREET PARKING. 
          SINCE THERE IS SOME EXISTING MULTIFAMILY TO THE EAST THAT DOES UTILIZE SOME SOME ON STREET PARKING. AND THEN JUST SO YOU GUYS CAN SEE, THIS IS BELLVILLE VILLAGE. IT'S AT WHATLEY AND KEELEY. IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT, BUT I'LL KIND OF JUST DROP THE LITTLE MAN IN. AND SO THE DIFFERENCE HERE FROM THIS IS WE WOULD HAVE A WIDER PARKWAY AND TREES PLANTED BETWEEN THE PARKWAY AND THE HOMES, WHICH I THINK WOULD BE GENERALLY AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE STREETSCAPE, BUT IT WOULD FEEL GENERALLY KIND OF LIKE THIS. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE YES, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DO PARK ON THE STREET, BUT IT DOESN'T IMPEDE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC OR SAFETY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND SO YOU CAN SEE HERE THERE'S SOME TREES PLANTED IN THE PARKWAY. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, EXCEPT FOR WE WILL HAVE A WIDER PARKWAY HERE. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I MEAN, I LIKE I LIKE THE IDEA. I JUST LIKE I SAID, I'M HUNG UP ON THE PARKING, SO. AND IF I'M THE ONLY ONE, THEN THAT THAT'S THAT'S OKAY. BUT, I MEAN, I LIKE THE IDEA. I UNDERSTAND ABOUT IT BEING JUST OUTSIDE OLD TOWN. I'M JUST I'M NOT AN ON STREET PARKING FAN, SO. THAT MORE HEADS IN THE BED. LET'S BRING IT. I MEAN, I LIKE THE IDEA OF BRINGING MORE OWNERSHIP TO THIS AREA RATHER THAN JUST THE APARTMENTS, APARTMENTS, APARTMENTS. I MEAN, WE REALLY NEED TO BRING SOME PERMANENT. YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE TO USE THE WORD TRANSIENT HOMEOWNERS. 
          YOU KNOW, SOMEONE COULD BE IN A SIX MONTH LEASE AND THEN IT TURNS AROUND. I MEAN, WE REALLY NEED JUST, YOU KNOW, PUTTING MY REALTOR HAT ON FOR A MINUTE. WE NEED SOME MORE. YEAH. HOMEOWNERS DOWN HERE. ANYONE ELSE BEFORE I OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING? OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK MAY COME FORWARD. STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE, AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU. HI, MY NAME IS VENKAT TADEPALLI. I HAVE A FEW CONCERNS. ONE OF THEM 
          [00:35:01]
IS THE POTENTIAL, THE SAFETY BECAUSE THERE ARE SCHOOLS AROUND IT. RIGHT? VERY CLOSE BY. AND BECAUSE OF THIS, THERE IS AN IMPACT TO THE SCHOOL ZONE TRAFFIC. AND THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE POTENTIAL BOTTLENECKS AND TO THE ACCESS POINTS AND ALSO THE PARKING. RIGHT. SO WHEN PEOPLE COME TO DROP OFF THE KIDS, THEY TEND TO PARK ON THE SIDES OF THE ROADS AND IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEMS. SO THAT'S ONE THING. AND THEN ALSO PROPERTY VALUE CONSIDERATIONS. RIGHT. SO THESE ARE THE TOWNHOMES. SO PEOPLE TEND TO RENT VERSUS OWN. SO THE PROPERTY VALUES ARE THEN WILL TEND TO GO DOWN RIGHT. SO BECAUSE OF THAT AND THEN OTHER CONCERNS I HAVE IS WITH THE. INFRASTRUCTURE. AND UTILITIES. RIGHT. SO. SO OVERALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE LIVING ATMOSPHERE WILL CHANGE BECAUSE OF LOT OF POPULATION INCREASE AND THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL CHANGE.

AMENDING THE LOUISVILLE CITY CODE. CHAPTER 15, SECTION 15 THROUGH 137. PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN OLD TOWN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. BY LIMITING PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE OF MILL STREET FROM THE INTERSECTION OF PERNELL STREET TO THE INTERSECTION OF MAIN STREET TO TWO HOUR PARKING BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8 A.M. AND 5 P.M. GOOD EVENING, BOARD MEMBERS. WE WERE CONTACTED BY THE BUSINESS OWNERS ALONG MILL STREET ON THE EAST SIDE. THERE IS A FEW LIMITED PARKING SPOTS THAT CUSTOMERS CAN USE, AND IT SEEMS THAT BECAUSE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE APARTMENTS, SOME PEOPLE, ALTHOUGH THE APARTMENTS HAVE ENOUGH ON SITE AND ON STREET PARKING, SOMETIMES THEY PARK IN THESE SPOTS FOR LONG TIMES DURING BUSINESS HOURS. SO THEY REQUESTED. AND WE HAVE A CHAPTER IN OUR CITY CODE THAT LIMITS THE TRAFFIC, THE PARKING DURING BUSINESS HOURS TO TWO HOURS. AND WE WANTED TO INCLUDE THIS SECTION. AS YOU SEE, IT'S ABOUT TEN SPOTS AND IT WILL BE LIMITED ONLY TO TWO HOURS FROM. 8 A.M. TO 5 P.M. 
          THANK YOU. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, THIS WAS BROUGHT TO US FROM THE BUSINESS OWNERS ALONG IN THERE THAT WERE CONCERNED ABOUT IT, FROM THE BUSINESS OWNERS. COMMISSIONERS. QUESTIONS. ARE THERE OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY THAT EMPLOY THIS LIMITED PARKING AND HOW IS IT ENFORCED? CAN YOU REPEAT THAT QUESTION AGAIN? ARE THERE ANY OTHER AREAS THAT ARE LIMITED FOR TWO HOUR PARKING IN THE VICINITY, AND HOW IS IT ENFORCED AND ARE THERE? YES, TO BE SPECIFIC, MAYBE IN OLD TOWN THERE ARE CHAPTERS IN 15 THE SAME CHAPTER 15 137 SPECIFIES TWO HOUR PARKING AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SITING THESE VEHICLES THAT PARK IN LONG HOURS. DEFINITELY. IT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED OR BE SPOTTED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT'S NOT. WE DON'T HAVE A PARK PARKING METER TO BE EXACT. WE DON'T HAVE A PARKING METER TO TIME IT, BUT IT'S A MEAN TO LIMIT LONG HOURS OF PARKING. BUT IT IT SHOULD BE EITHER BY REPORTING FROM THE BUSINESS OWNERS NEIGHBORS OR SPOTTING BY A POLICE OFFICER. AND THERE IS PROPER SIGNAGE, CORRECT? YES. SIGNAGE WILL BE INSTALLED TO INFORM. I JUST I'VE NEVER SEEN ENFORCEMENT. I'VE, I'VE, WE USED TO HAVE A DOWNTOWN OLD TOWN PARKING PERSON WHO DROVE AROUND AND ENFORCED THAT, BUT I'VE GOTTEN A FEW OF THOSE ORANGE STICKERS IN MY TIME. I'M NOT GOING TO LIE. OKAY, OKAY.
