TOO LOUD. YEAH, THAT'S A LITTLE LOUD. SOME PEOPLE HIT THE DAY. OKAY, THERE'S 6 P.M. WE ARE

[Workshop Session - 6:00 P.M. ]

[00:00:08]

WHISPERS HUSHES. WHATEVER. BUT WE'RE BEING BROADCAST. LET'S SEE. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH THE AGENDA ITEMS. SEE IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS. HERE. STARTING WITH PUBLIC HEARING. CONTINUE PUBLIC HEARING FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING. ARE YOU GOING TO DO THE INVOCATION TJ OH YEAH. OKAY. THANKS FOR THAT. YES. SO I NEED A VOLUNTEER FOR THE INVOCATION.

WHO WANTS TO DO THAT. WILLIAM I THINK YOU VOLUNTEERED. RIGHT. I'M ALREADY DOING THE FLAGS. I THINK HE WAS ASKING YOU, I THINK. KRISTEN. KRISTEN. KRISTEN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SPEAK UP. YOU GET. ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL START WITH INVOCATION PLEDGE TO AMERICAN FLAGS. THAT WILL BE DONE BY COUNCIL MEMBER MEREDITH. GOING THROUGH THE AGENDA ITEMS. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM ONE. CONTINUE PUBLIC HEARING FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ORDINANCE 042822.

ZONE. AMEND PLAN DEVELOPMENT. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? I HAVE SOME. I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK IF WE COULD TALK TO LEGAL. YEAH, I PLAN TO. I'D LIKE TO TAKE Y'ALL INTO CLOSED DURING WORKSHOP UNDER TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE FIVE FIVE. OH. RIGHT NOW. 070, WHAT DO YOU KNOW? JUST ANOTHER LEGAL.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, THOUGH, ATTORNEY CONSULTATION ON THIS ITEM WHILE WE'RE STILL IN PUBLIC, THAT ALL THE CORRESPONDENCE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED AND I'VE REACHED OUT TO SOME OF THEM, THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNAWARE WHAT WE WERE ACTUALLY VOTING ON. AND IT WASN'T THERE. YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HIGH RISE THAT ISN'T EVEN A CHARGE ON THIS. SO I'VE HAD THAT CONVERSATION WITH SEVERAL OF THEM AND THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THAT. CAN I TAKE THE LIBERTY JUST TO FINISH? SO BEFORE WE GO INTO CLOSED SESSION, JUST THE AT THAT POINT ACTUALLY IS KIND OF ROLLS INTO WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. SO ON THIS ITEM SPECIFICALLY, I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BRIEFING AND OPEN OUT THERE WITH RICHARD AS WELL AS WITH THE DEVELOPER'S REPRESENTATIVE. WE SOME OF SOME OF THE INFORMATION WE PROVIDE IN YOUR BACKUP WAS NOT ACCURATE.

AND I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. SO ONE OF THE STATEMENTS WAS THAT WE HAD THE CITY HAD RECEIVED A WARRANT STUDY FOR THE TRAFFIC. TRAFFIC. THE WARRANT STUDY WAS DONE BY THE DEVELOPER. WE HAVE RECEIVED IT NOW, BUT WE HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW IT. I WILL SAY AT FIRST BLUSH, IT IT LOOKS RIGHT AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE KOSHER TO, YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S THE FULL TIA FOR THE ENTIRE REALM AREA, WHICH THEY'RE THEY HAVE SUBMITTED A SCOPE ON THAT AND NOT THE FULL TIA. SO THAT WAS ANOTHER POINT. AND THEY ARE RIGHT NOW THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEER AND OUR ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON WHAT THAT SCOPE LOOKS LIKE. THEY'RE MOSTLY DONE, BUT IT WON'T BE DONE BY NEXT MEETING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT THAT ACTUALLY WILL NOT BE RELEVANT TO THIS PROJECT. THE SCOPE DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS. THIS IS REALLY FOCUSED ON A WARRANT STUDY. THAT WARRANT STUDY HAS BEEN TURNED IN NOW, BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT. SO THAT PLUS THE FACT THAT I THINK A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS ARE NOT REALLY FULLY UNDERSTANDING, GRASPING FROM SOME OF THE COMMENTS THEY'VE MADE ABOUT WHAT THE CONTEXT OF WHAT THEY'RE DISCUSSING TODAY. I THINK IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HOLD THIS ONE MORE MEETING TO REVIEW THAT, TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO HEAR WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING, WHAT THE STAFF IS SAYING IS LIKE THE CONTEXT OF WHAT YOU'RE DECIDING ON. AND THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION. I KNOW IT PREVIOUSLY SAID SOMETHING ELSE, BUT AND THEN ALSO JUST TO MAKE SURE WE TIGHTEN UP ALL OF THE SOME OF THE NOTES THAT WERE IN OUR CONCEPT PLAN REFERENCE THE TIA THAT WAS SUBMITTED. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT ACCURATE. SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR EXHIBITS ARE ALSO COMPLETELY ACCURATE BEFORE GOING FORWARD. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THERE WAS NUMEROUS PEOPLE TODAY AND I WOULD SHOW THEM WHERE THE BACKUP. THIS IS THE FIRST THAT THEY'VE EVER SEEN THAT IT WAS. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT THERE, A LOT OF SCARY STUFF OUT THERE, A LOT OF MISINFORMATION, BUT NONE OF IT HAD TO DO WITH WHAT WE WERE VOTING ON, IS THE SECOND DRAFT. AND I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. SO ONE MINOR COMMENT THAT THE STAFF PRESENTATION BACKUP SAYS 515 AND THE OTHER ONE SAYS 519. IS THAT WHICH I DON'T KNOW WHICH BACKUP YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. THIS ONE HERE. IS THAT MY PRESENTATION? WAS THAT MEANT FOR TONIGHT OR WAS THAT ALREADY DONE? THAT WAS A PRESENTATION THAT'S BEEN GIVEN. WE HAVE UPDATED IT TODAY.

OKAY. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE I THINK WE ADDED ONE MORE SLIDE WITH REGARD TO COMPARING GB OKAY. GB TWO. SO YOU'RE RECOMMENDING THAT WE CONTINUE THIS TO THE NEXT MEETING. YES.

[00:05:05]

THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GREEN AGAIN FOLKS. SO WE'RE BACK IN BACK IN WORKSHOP. THANK YOU FOR HANGING WITH US WHEN WE HAD A CLOSED HEARING FOR THIS HEARING. SO WE'RE BACK ON THE AGENDA.

VENDORS THEY DO STUFF WITH OUT THERE, PRIVATE VENDORS, STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT OKAY, SO WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? ONE PARTICULAR AGREEMENT WITH NOT NOT TOO LONG AGO THAT I'M NOT SURE I WOULD HAVE DONE, BUT WAS THERE A DECISION? YEAH. DID SOMETHING WITH A VENDOR OUT THERE. THAT HAD AN EVENT OUT THERE THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO KOSHER, BUT IF IT'S A SPECIAL EVENT, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THEY THEY CAN CHOOSE WHO THEY ARE. OKAY, OKAY. ITEM SEVEN APPROVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 MIDYEAR SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS. WE'LL HAVE A PRESENTATION ON ITEM EIGHT, APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF LOUISVILLE AMENDING SECTION SEVEN. CLAIRE, DID YOU SAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON NUMBER SEVEN? NO.

ITEM NINE CONSIDERATION ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS WITH LANDSCAPING STANDARDS FOR SAM'S CLUB. ITEM TEN CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS ASSOCIATED WITH LANDSCAPING STANDARDS FOR.

OKAY. FANTASTIC. ALL RIGHT. YOU MEAN AS NEEDED TO ADJOURN. RIGHT. SO WE ARE ON TO. GET HERE. ARE WE ON TO SEE THE SOLID WASTE RECYCLING COLLECTION SERVICE UPDATE? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO AS YOU ARE WELL AWARE, WE DID HAVE SOME SERVICE ISSUES WITH OUR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION. SO WE WANTED TO BRING REPUBLICAN TO GIVE YOU GUYS AN UPDATE, KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT WE'RE WHAT THEY'RE WORKING ON TO FIX THE ISSUE AND GIVE YOU A STATUS UPDATE ON THAT. SO TODAY, PRESENTING HOW MODESTO DOMINGUEZ, HE IS THE AREA VICE PRESIDENT. AND THEN CHUCK, SO IS THE GENERAL MANAGER. AND MICHAEL HERNANDEZ IS THE OPERATIONS MANAGER. SO WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS AN THE OPTION TO OR THE ABILITY TO HEAR FROM DIRECTLY

[00:10:02]

COUNCIL MIKE HERNANDEZ, OPERATIONS MANAGER. SO JUST HERE FOR THE IMMEDIATE REMEDY, WE BROUGHT IN OUTSIDE RESOURCES. SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT WE BROUGHT IN PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE DFW AREA, EVEN OUTSIDE THE STATE, TO KIND OF HELP US WITH THE STAFFING. WHAT THAT DID WAS ABLE TO GET US FULLY STAFFED FOR THIS CONTRACT, AND WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT. AND SO WITH THAT, WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO ADD AN EXTRA ROUTE JUST FOR THE NPAS. SO THAT WAY OUR LEAD DRIVER CAN HAVE TIME TO EVEN VERIFY ANY MISSED PICKUPS OR ANY LATE SET OUTS AT A PROPERTY AT AN APPROPRIATE TIME. SO THAT WAY WE CAN GET THOSE ESCALATIONS DOWN. WE ALSO. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED RIGHT WHEN CHUCK WAS OUT AND OPS MANAGER WAS ASKING FOR HELP IS WE WEREN'T STAFFING, RIGHT. SO WE WERE LOSING DRIVERS AND WE WEREN'T BRINGING DRIVERS ON FAST ENOUGH. AND SO WE GOT GOT OURSELVES IN A SITUATION WHERE WE WERE SHORT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DRIVERS, SO WE COULDN'T COVER NOT ONLY THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE BUT OTHER CONTRACTS. WE WERE SHORT, PROBABLY 15 TO 20 DRIVERS, SO NO ONE RAISED THEIR HAND AND SAID, HEY, I NEED HELP, RIGHT? AGAIN, THAT'S THAT'S ON ME. I'M ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE, BUT THAT'S WHAT LED TO US HAVING TO BRING PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE AREA. AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE ALSO WERE ABLE TO HIRE A NEW LOGISTICS ANALYST TO HELP JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING THE MAPS. AND WE ALSO HAVE A PROGRAM THAT WE CAN SEE BREADCRUMBS. AND WE STARTED USING THAT JUST TO TEACH THE NEW DRIVERS, BECAUSE SOME OF THE AREAS IN CASTLE HILLS IS ALLEY SERVICE AND STREET SIDE SERVICE.

SO JUST GETTING THOSE NEW DRIVERS ACCOMMODATED TO THE NEW ROUTES, WE AMPLIFIED THAT. SO THAT WAY WE CAN LIMIT MISSED PICKUPS. WE ALSO PRETTY MUCH BLITZ THE AREA WITH THE WITH THE LEADERSHIP. WE HAVE A TOTAL OF SIX SUPERVISORS, SO WE'D GO AROUND AND MAKE SURE THAT SERVICE WAS COMPLETE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME. WE ALSO HAD VARIOUS CONTACT WITH CITY AS WELL, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE ADDRESSING THOSE MISSED PICKUPS IN A TIMELY MANNER. SO ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE WE'RE STILL USING THE GPS BREADCRUMBS. SO THAT WAY WE CAN VERIFY THAT ALL STREETS ARE GETTING SERVICED AT THEIR APPROPRIATE TIME. WE ARE TRAINING DRIVERS TOO. SO JUST IN CASE ANY DRIVERS GO OUT ON PTO, THOSE ROUTE DRIVERS CAN GO OUT AND ENJOY THEIR PTO. AND WE ALL HAVE BACKUP DRIVERS THAT KNOW THE AREA AS WELL. SO TO ELIMINATE ANY MISSED PICKUPS MOVING FORWARD, WE ALSO ARE GOING TO BRING IN A NEW SUPERVISOR. WE HAVE TO BRING IN A TEAM THAT IS WILLING TO PERFORM AT THIS, AT THIS LEVEL OF THIS CONTRACT. SO WE ARE MAKING SOME ADJUSTMENTS ON THE LEADERSHIP SIDE, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD LEADERSHIP. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO WE KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION ON THE ON THE CALL CENTER. SO WE'RE DOING SOME SECRET SHOPPING ON WHAT WE'LL CALL THE CALL CENTER. PRETEND LIKE A CUSTOMER TO VERIFY THAT THOSE THOSE CUSTOMERS ARE GETTING ADDRESSED APPROPRIATE AS WELL. YES, MA'AM. I HAVE A COMMENT ON THE CALL CENTER. IN THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS OR SO, ANY TIME THAT I HAVE CALLED THE CALL CENTER, I WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT ABLE TO GET TO A HUMAN. WHAT WAS THE MOST DIVERSE INVOLVING CALL DO? WHAT WAS THE MOST RECENT TIME YOU CALLED? I ENDED UP CALLING YOU TO PICK UP A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. YEAH. SO HOPEFULLY THAT STICKS. SO THAT WAS ALSO BROUGHT UP, BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. SO WE HAVE A CONSOLIDATED CALL CENTER. AND SO WE DID WE HAD MEETINGS WITH THAT SUPERVISORY TEAM OVER THOSE OF THOSE CALL AGENTS AND DID SOME RETRAINING AND THEN ADDED SOME KIND OF JUST SPECIFIC BLURB FOR LEWISVILLE. SO ANYTIME SOMEONE CALLS FROM THIS AREA CODE, IT PULLS UP SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CONTRACT. SO HOPEFULLY THAT'S GOTTEN BETTER. AND THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. THE SECRET SECRET SHOPPER JERRY IS CALLING IN, PRETENDING TO BE A CUSTOMER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CALLS ARE GETTING THROUGH. I CAN TELL YOU MOST OF THE COMMENTARY

[00:15:02]

OKAY, GOING BACK TO 2001. SO 21 I'M SORRY, AARON, HOW LONG HAS THEIR CONTRACT. SO. BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S IN 2030 THERE'S A TEN YEAR RENEWAL. SO ONE OF THE THINGS I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS THERE'S BEEN A PLETHORA OF THINGS. AND THIS THIS IS JUST CULMINATED INTO THIS INCIDENT.

AND YOU KNOW, EXCUSES ARE NOT EXCUSES IS WHAT IS WHAT IS THE END RESULT. BUT THE LACK OF END RESULT OF PEOPLE GETTING THE TRASH PICKED UP, WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SO WHATEVER WE DO IN THE FUTURE, I HOPE WE PUT IN THERE WHERE WE HAVE WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING, I HOPE IT WORKS, BUT THERE IS CONSEQUENCES THAT YOU KNOW OF DEALING WITH YOU GUYS GOING FORWARD, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN HAPPY WITH YOU GUYS SINCE WE STARTED THE COMMUNICATION IS SEVERELY LACKING. AND SO WE NEED WE NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROACTIVE ON THAT. YOU KNOW, UNTIL WE GET TO THE 2020, 2030 DETERMINATION ON HOW WE GO FORWARD. UNDERSTOOD. RIGHT. WE WANT TO PROVIDE GREAT SERVICE. WE WANT WE WANT TO BE GOOD PARTNERS. NO VERY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE, BUT I THINK THE SERVICE HAS BEEN GOOD THE LAST FEW WEEKS. AGAIN, TOOK US A WHILE TO GET OUR HANDS WRAPPED AROUND THE SITUATION WE WERE IN. GETTING SHORT 15 TO 20 DRIVERS, NOT EXCUSES, BUT THIS IS THIS IS WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH. I THINK WE'RE IN A LOT BETTER PLACE RIGHT NOW, AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK THROUGH WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO MAINTAIN THAT MOVING FORWARD, RIGHT. SO IT'S CAN'T BE JUST, HEY, WE GOT WE GOT TO FIX FOR 3 OR 4 WEEKS AND THEN WE GO BACK TO SOMETHING ELSE. RIGHT? WE WANT TO BE PROVIDING THAT OUTSTANDING SERVICE MOVING FORWARD. YEAH. THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE BROUGHT OUTSIDE RESOURCES. IT TAKES ABOUT ABOUT A MONTH FOR OUR DRIVER TO GET SIGNED OFF TO WHERE HE'S ABLE TO DRIVE THE ROUTE HIMSELF. SO THAT'S THAT WAS SOME OF THE DELAY. BUT LUCKILY FOR US, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THOSE OUTSIDE RESOURCES WHERE DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCED AND THEY'RE ABLE TO READ A MAP AND ACTUALLY PERFORM. SO LET ME ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE CALL CENTER. IS IT IS IT STAFFED AFTER HOURS? IT SEEMS LIKE I CALLED AFTER HOURS AND I WAS JUST TOLD CALL BACK DURING BUSINESS HOURS. IT IS NOT IT IS NOT OKAY. IT IS NOT. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE WHEN DO PEOPLE FIND OUT THAT THEIR TRASH HAS BEEN MISSED? WHEN THEY GET HOME FROM WHEN THEY GET HOME FROM WORK? AND THEN NOW IT'S STILL MY PROBLEM TO REMEMBER TO DO THIS AFTER, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT DAY DURING BUSINESS HOURS. SO I HAD SOMETHING HAPPEN TO ME OUT OF MY CONTROL, AND NOW I HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND MAKE A SCHEDULE TO CALL AGAIN AFTERWARDS. SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU GUYS TO CONSIDER AT LEAST A VOICEMAIL BOX WHERE SOMEBODY CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE. SO THANK YOU.

SO ONE REMEDY TO THAT, AN IMPROVEMENT THAT WE MADE IS WE ADDED A WAY TO SUBMIT THOSE REQUESTS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. AND THAT AUTOMATICALLY JASON SET IT UP WHERE IT AUTOMATICALLY EMAILS THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND US SO WE CAN TRACK THOSE AS WELL. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S TAKING MORE OF OUR STAFF TIME AND STUFF TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE BEING DEALT WITH BY THE COMPANY. WELL, IT'S AND WE'RE GETTING OUR CALLS ALL NIGHT LONG. YEAH. SO YEAH, I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU AS WELL TO THINK ABOUT SOME SORT OF OUTBOUND CAMPAIGN JUST BECAUSE THE CALLS WENT DOWN. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH I'M IN TECH AND I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH CALL CENTERS FOR A LONG TIME. SOMETIMES CALLS TO GO DOWN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST FEEL IT'S A WASTE OF TIME TO CALL. SO IT'S NOT THAT THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER, IT'S JUST THAT THEY FEEL LIKE IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY EFFICACY TO CALL, SO THEY GET FRUSTRATED. THEY JUST STOP. SO I WOULD JUST CAUTION AGAINST USING A DIP IN THE CALLS AS A INDICATOR THAT THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER. NOW, I WAS SAYING THAT I DO THINK THINGS ARE IMPROVING. I DO, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE EVIDENCE OF THAT RATHER THAN JUST A DIP IN THE CALLS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES, SIR. YES, SIR. POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I MEAN THAT IS IT'S INSTANTANEOUS. AND EVERYBODY GOES THERE FIRST TO ASK WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR TRASH. IT'S ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA SOCIETY NOW. I MEAN, IT'S JUST IT JUST IS. SO I THINK THE SECOND

[00:20:02]

THE ARM PICKS IT UP. I'M JUST SAYING THAT THEY HAVE THE FOR THE IT'S FOR THE REAR LOAD ONES.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE DRIVERS ARE EXCITED TO GO FAST BECAUSE THEY GET WHEN THEY GET DONE, THEY GET DONE WHETHER IT'S 8 HOURS OR 6 HOURS. WHAT HAPPENS IS, BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THIS HAPPEN, THE LIFT IT UP AND THEY'LL START DRIVING OFF BEFORE THEY PUT IT BACK DOWN AGAIN. SO NOW IT'S GOING SIX FEET AWAY.

YEAH. ALWAYS WE HAVE A WE HAVE A YOU KNOW, I HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE VERY UPSET. EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT. THEY NOW GOT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. I GOT TO MOVE THE TRASH CAN MAY SEEM SMALL, BUT IT'S THOSE SORT OF LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. THEY CAN THEY CAN SHOULD GO BACK WHERE WE PICKED IT UP, PICK IT UP AND JUST WE USED TO I DON'T I'M NOT SURE HOW FAMILIAR YOU ARE WITH THE WASTE INDUSTRY. WE USED TO INCENTIVIZE THEM TO GET DONE EARLIER. SO NOW WE'RE ALL STRAIGHT HOURLY RATE. SO THERE'S NO BEFORE THERE WAS A DAY RATE OR INCENTIVE PAY. AND SO THEY WOULD FINISH IN SIX HOURS. THEY GOT PAID THE FULL DAY. I LOVE THE CONCEPT BUT YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY IT SETS THE WRONG BEHAVIOR SOMETIMES. YES, SIR. AND I'VE ALSO ADDRESSED SOME OF THOSE BAD BEHAVIORS AS WELL COMING IN A MONTH AND A HALF. SO I HAVE ADDRESSED THOSE AND I'LL CONTINUE TO AS WELL. THANK YOU. YEAH. AND MIKE MICHAEL, HE CAME FROM A VERY BIG BUSINESS UNIT IN CALIFORNIA USED TO DEALING WITH WITH BIG CONTRACTS. THE CULTURE HAS STARTED TO CHANGE. RIGHT.

THAT THAT TAKES SOME TIME. RIGHT. THE GENTLEMAN THERE BEFORE CULTURE WAS NOT GREAT. NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO OWNERSHIP FOR STARTING TO GET THAT BACK. NOW, GENTLEMEN, ARE YOU REFERRING TO JERRY WHEN YOU SAY THE GENTLEMAN BEFORE. NO, I'M THE OPERATIONS MANAGER. JERRY. JERRY? JERRY.

YEAH. OKAY. JERRY'S STILL YOUR MAIN POINT. OKAY. YEAH. I DON'T THINK I COULD DO ANYTHING WITH HER IF I WANTED TO. NO. YOU COULDN'T. ALL RIGHT, SO I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE DATA HERE AND KIND OF SEE HOW OVER THE MONTHS AND EVEN WHEN CASTLE HILLS KIND OF CAME ON, WHERE THE PEAK OF MISSED PICKUPS WAS REALLY AT THE PEAK OF MARCH. RIGHT. SO MARCH AND THERE'S A SLIDE ON THE NEXT, EXCUSE ME, A GRAPH ON THE NEXT SLIDE THAT SHOWS YOU GRAPH GRAPHICALLY HOW HOW BAD IT GOT IN MARCH, EARLY MARCH. RIGHT THERE. SO THE LIGHT BLUE LINE IS YOU KNOW THAT'S CASTLE OR THAT'S LEWISVILLE AS A WHOLE. RIGHT. SO THE TRADITIONAL LEWISVILLE AND THEN THE DARK BLUE LINE ON TOP OF THAT IS JUST THE ADDITION OF MISSED PICKUPS FROM CASTLE HILLS. WHEN WE GOT THAT. THESE ARE OF COURSE REPORTED MISSED PICKED UP. SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW CORRECT? CORRECT. THESE ARE REPORTED MISSED PICKUPS. YOU KNOW CUSTOMER PERCEPTION GOING THROUGH OUR SYSTEM. THIS IS THIS IS THE NUMBER. YOU'RE RIGHT. IT COULD BE MUCH MORE IF THE IF THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T CALL IT IN. YOU'RE CORRECT. CORRECT. SO THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TRACKING. AND AS YOU CAN SEE WEEK OVER WEEK STARTING FROM MARCH 9TH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE END OF APRIL, HERE WE SEE A DIP IN IMPROVEMENT ON NUMBER OF MISSED PICKUPS SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE MONTHS. RIGHT. SO MOVING TO THE NEXT SLIDE. HEY WHAT ARE OUR NEXT STEPS. SO WE HAVE CAMERAS ON OUR TRUCKS. WE WANT TO EVALUATE THE VIDEOS. WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE CITY. AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH AARON AND JASON TO TAKE A LOOK AT HEY, ARE THESE TRUE MISSES? HOW ARE WE ACTUALLY VERIFYING THAT? WE COLLECTED SOME COLLECTED SOMEONE'S HOME? ON TOP OF THAT, WE'RE USING THOSE CAMERAS PRIMARILY AS DRIVER TRAINING. RIGHT. SO CAMERA FACES OUTWARDS AND FACES INWARDS. DRIVER HAS THAT BEHAVIOR. WE IT ALERTS US AND WE TRAINING THAT DRIVER ON GOOD BEHAVIORS SUSTAINABLE BEHAVIORS GOING FORWARD THAT ON ALL TRUCKS OR SOME TRUCKS THAT IS ON ALL OF OUR ALL OF OUR TRUCKS FOR I LOVE THIS VIDEO BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE MAY HAVE PEOPLE WHO USED IT TWICE A WEEK AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A REASON TO COMPLAIN. CORRECT. AND IF THE VIDEO HELPS. SO THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM THAT'S WORTH LOOKING AT AS WELL. SO I LOVE THAT THERE'S CAMERAS ON EVERY TRUCK. SO OKAY. YEP. AND IT HAS THAT GPS FUNCTION AS WELL. SO WHERE MICHAEL WAS SAYING WE'RE USING THAT BREADCRUMBS. AS LONG AS WE'RE PASSING BY THE HOUSE WE CAN SAY HEY WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF CERTAINTY, WE DID SERVICE THAT STREET. AND THEN WE HAVE THE VIDEO TO CONFIRM THAT AS WELL. CUSTOMER TRAINING. WE'RE ALSO MAKING SURE THAT OUR DRIVERS ARE TAGGING AND THEN TAKING PICTURES OF THOSE TAGS. RIGHT. BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE, HEY, IF THERE'S BAD BEHAVIORS ON THE CUSTOMER SIDE AS WELL, THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE NOT GETTING SERVICE. AND THEN WE WERE VERIFYING THROUGH PHYSICAL MEANS. AND THE DIGITAL MEANS AS WELL. PHYSICAL ISSUES. THOSE ARE REALLY HEY, WHERE'S THE CAR PLACEMENT? YOU KNOW, AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, SAME DRIVER IN THAT SEAT. THEY

[00:25:01]

IF WE SAID WE CAN TAKE A TAKE A LOOK INTO THE WHOLE SOCIAL MEDIA PORTION. RIGHT. SO HOW IS HOW IS THAT INFORMATION GETTING OUT TO THE SAME RESPECT THAT YOU'RE SEEING FOLKS ALSO THAT ARE NOT DOING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO WITH TRASH, THAT'S ANOTHER GOOD EDUCATIONAL TOOL THAT YOU CAN POST AS WELL, RIGHT? THINGS, THINGS LIKE FLIERS. WE CAN DEFINITELY PUT OUT FLIERS TO WHERE, HEY, THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE GOING, SHOULD BE GOING IN EACH CAMP. RIGHT. SO YEAH, WE'VE HAD THOSE. REMEMBER THE FLIERS SITUATION. AND THEY WERE KIND OF I DON'T REMEMBER THE ARMS WRONG. WE GOT 15. WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE FLIER. OH YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT. SO THAT WAS OUR FLIER. YEAH. I WAS LIKE OH THIS ONE THEY WENT TO THE SIDE BY SIDE. YEAH OKAY. WHERE THE TRASH CAN. IT'S JUST EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION. COMMUNICATION GOES A LONG WAY. IF THERE'S A IF THERE'S A BREAKDOWN SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T HELP A BREAKDOWN. A LOT OF TIMES YOU CAN. BUT IF YOU COMMUNICATE TO THE CITIZENS THEIR FRUSTRATION LEVEL AND HOSTILITY HOSTILITY LEVEL MAY GO WAY DOWN IF THEY KNOW IT'S GOING ON. BUT ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THE RATES ARE UP. THEIR TRASH ISN'T GETTING PICKED UP, THEIR CALLS AREN'T GETTING ANSWERED, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON ONLINE. AND SO THEY'RE LEFT TO CALL THE CITY AND THEY CALL US AND WE DON'T HAVE A CONTRACT WITH Y'ALL FOR THEM TO HAVE TO DO ALL THAT. UNDERSTOOD. I THINK MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND A FLAT TIRE, BROKEN DOWN VEHICLE. OKAY, GREAT. THAT'S SOMEWHAT OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. IF ANYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT JUST THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THAT. YES, SIR. YEAH. THE REPEAT MISSES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE THE HARDEST. RIGHT. SO WE HAVE SOMEBODY CALL IN THEIR MISSED. WE YOU KNOW JIM OR SOMEBODY GETS ON A CALL WITH THEM SAYS OH WE GOT IT. WE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF THEY GET THEY GET HIT AGAIN. IT'S FINE. THE TWO WEEKS LATER THEY MISSED AGAIN. THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT REALLY ARE DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME. YES. THE STAFFING PIECE RIGHT. THE CONSISTENCY HAVING THE SAME DRIVER ON THE SAME ROUTE RIGHT. EVERY WEEK HELPS WITH THAT. SO AS WE GET STAFFED UP AND TRAINED UP RIGHT, WE'LL KEEP THAT SAME DRIVER. AND SO SHOULD LEAD TO LESS OF THAT HAPPENING. RIGHT. BECAUSE I KNOW ALL THE HOUSES I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HITTING. AND THEN LIKE IF IT'S A TRICKY SPOT, THAT DRIVER KNOWS, HEY, I GOT TO GO DO THIS TO GET THAT THAT CONTAINER.

OKAY. AND ONE OTHER THING WE'RE DOING FOR DURABILITY PIECE. SO AT THE AREA LEVEL SO WHERE I, WHERE I SIT WE HAVE LIMITED BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION WE GOT HERE WITH THE LEWISVILLE CONTRACT. SO ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE, ANYTIME THERE'S MORE THAN ONE ROUTE DOWN ON THE GROUND, HOUSE MANAGERS ARE REQUIRED TO SEND IT TO A VARIETY OF PEOPLE, MYSELF INCLUDED. RIGHT. SO I IMMEDIATELY KNOW, OKAY, I HAVE AN ISSUE IN PLANO. I HAVE AN ISSUE IN SAN ANTONIO. I HAVE AN ISSUE IN LEWISVILLE. RIGHT. SO IT'S TOP OF MIND TO ME VERSUS ME WAITING FOR AN OPS MANAGER TO GET HIMSELF IN A BIND. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE'RE IN THE SITUATION WE WERE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. AND THEN LOCALLY HERE, I'VE IMPLEMENTED A CALL AT ABOUT 130 TO WHERE IF WE DO HAVE THAT FLAT TIRE OR BREAKDOWN, WE'RE CAN ASSISTANCE COME TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE SERVICES ARE FILLED. AND THAT'S SOMETHING I DO. I DO WANT TO PROVIDE SOME POSITIVE FEEDBACK TO YOU GUYS.

SO I'VE GOTTEN A COUPLE OF THESE EMAILS AS WELL. AND THIS IS A FACEBOOK POST THAT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. I SENT IT OVER TO CLAIRE AND JIM AND AARON. I THINK BECAUSE I KNOW THE SWITCH OF C.W.D TO REPUBLIC HAS BEEN INTERESTING, BUT MY ALMOST THREE YEAR OLD LOVES SEEING THE BLUE TRASH TRUCK DRIVE BY AND CONSTANTLY HAS TO WATCH HIM. FINALLY GOT TO SEE THEM COME DOWN THE STREET. I DIDN'T CATCH HIS NAME, BUT AFTER COLLECTING OUR BIG ONE, OUR BIN, ONE OF THE CREW MEMBERS STOPPED TRUCKS FROM ROAMING, GRABBED TWO COLORING BOOKS, CRAYONS AND PHONE MINI TRASH TRUCKS. GAVE THEM TO MY OLDEST. SO THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR HAVING SUCH A THOUGHTFUL AND CARING EMPLOYEES THEY MADE OUR WHOLE EVENING. THAT'S ALL. THAT'S ALL WE WANT HERE ON FACEBOOK. THAT'S 132,000. MORE OF THOSE WILL BE GOOD. IF YOU HAD THE SAME DRIVER. KIND OF LIKE OUR POSTMAN. YEAH, I KNOW OUR POSTMAN AND HIS FAMILY. AND SO IF YOU HAVE THE SAME DRIVER, IT JUST BUILDS THAT COMMUNITY AND RAPPORT. AND IT HELPS ON A SAFETY FACTOR TOO, WHEN THEY SEE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT. SO. OH, I LIKE THAT. GREAT. ANYTHING ELSE. ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. WE HAVE ABOUT FOUR MINUTES OF. I'M GOING TO SEE. PROBABLY SEE THE

[00:30:01]

[A. Invocation - Mayor TJ Gilmore]

[B. Pledge to the American and Texas Flags - Councilmember William Meridith]

AND NOW YOU MIGHT BE ASKING WHY, IF THIS PRESENTATION IS TITLED THE MID-YEAR REPORT WHY WE'RE PRESENTING THIS TO YOU ON MARCH, I'M SORRY, MAY 19TH. AND THAT'S BECAUSE ALL THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF APRIL, OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT IS STILL RECEIVING INVOICES FOR THINGS THAT OCCURRED IN MARCH.

WE'RE STILL RECEIVING REVENUES. WE'RE STILL MAKING THOSE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS AS WELL. SO ALL THAT OCCURS THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF APRIL. AND THEN WE CLOSE THE MONTH OF MARCH AT THE END OF APRIL. ONE OTHER THING THAT'S GOING ON AROUND THIS SAME TIME IS THAT DEPARTMENTS HAVE STARTED BUILDING THEIR FISCAL YEAR 2026 BUDGETS. PART OF THAT PROCESS IS THEY GO AHEAD AND THEY TAKE A LOOK AT THE CURRENT YEAR'S BUDGET AND THEY SAY, OKAY, HERE'S HOW MUCH WE PLAN TO RECEIVE IN REVENUES HERE. HERE'S HOW MUCH WE PLAN TO SPEND. HOW ARE WE DOING ACCORDING TO THAT PLAN? THAT'S SOMETHING THAT Y'ALL DON'T NORMALLY SEE. THAT DOES TYPICALLY HAPPEN AROUND THE SAME TIME PERIOD. SO WE WANT TO GIVE DEPARTMENTS THE CHANCE TO REALLY FINE TUNE THOSE FIGURES, MAKE SURE WE GET TO MEET WITH THEM BEFORE WE PRESENT IT TO YOU IN MAY. SO THAT'S REALLY WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW. MOVING FORWARD INTO THE REST OF THE FISCAL YEAR. WE HAVE OUR ANNUAL BUDGET WORKSHOP SCHEDULED ON AUGUST 9TH. THAT'S WHEN WE'LL TALK MOSTLY ABOUT THE 26 PROPOSED BUDGET. WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW CURRENT REVENUES ARE COMPARING TO PROPOSED REVENUES AS WELL. AND THEN JUST TO GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEEK INTO THE CURRENT BUDGET PROCESS, WE'RE ACTUALLY IN WEEK NINE OF OUR BUDGET SEASON. SO NORMALLY WHEN WE MEET WITH YOU ALL TO HAVE OUR ONE ON ONE SETS AT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST, THIS IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT OCCURS YEAR ROUND FOR MY TEAM AND THEN FOR THE DEPARTMENTS. IT TAKES ABOUT HALF A YEAR. SO WE ARE KNEE DEEP IN BUDGET SEASON RIGHT NOW. SO JUST A RECAP OF YOUR FISCAL YEAR 2025 OPERATING BUDGET. THESE ARE MAJOR FUNDS THAT WE TYPICALLY TALK ABOUT IN THIS REPORT. WE ACTUALLY HAVE 30 OVERALL OPERATING FUNDS THAT WE BUDGET. WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE ADOPTED OPERATING BUDGET. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE OPERATING BUDGET, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REALLY THOSE ONGOING EXPENDITURES, NOT SO MUCH THOSE ONE TIME REQUESTS. SO OUR GENERAL FUND IS OUR LARGEST FUND. IT USUALLY TAKES UP ABOUT HALF OF OUR OPERATING BUDGET. THIS YEAR'S ADOPTED OPERATING

[00:35:04]

WE'LL TALK ABOUT OUR WATER AND SEWER FUND. YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ME REFER TO THAT AS OUR UTILITY FUND. AND THEN WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR DRAINAGE FUND AND OUR FORB FUND, WHICH IS OUR FINAL SALES TAX DEDICATED FUND. SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT REVENUE TRENDS. WE'RE GOING TO START OUT IN THE GENERAL FUND. IF YOU RECALL BACK TO OUR AUGUST WORKSHOP, ONE CHART THAT WE ALWAYS SHOW YOU EVERY YEAR IS A PIE CHART. AND IT SHOWS YOU THE BREAKOUT OF PROPERTY TAX, SALES TAX AND OUR OTHER REVENUES. AND USUALLY WE USE THAT CHART TO MAKE THE POINT. PROPERTY TAX AND SALES TAX ARE TWO OF OUR BIGGEST REVENUE SOURCES. BUT ALSO IN ANY GIVEN YEAR WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, 25, 30% OF OUR REVENUES COMING FROM OTHER REVENUE SOURCES AS WELL. SO THESE ARE THE SAME THREE CATEGORIES THAT YOU SEE HERE. AND THIS JUST SHOWS HOW WE ARE PERFORMING THIS YEAR. SO STARTING WITH PROPERTY TAX WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHARTS HERE, I KNOW ON THAT SCREEN IT LOOKS BLUE, BUT REALLY THE DARK GREEN BAR ON THE FAR LEFT THAT IS THE ADOPTED BUDGET FOR THIS REVENUE SOURCE. THE LIGHTER GREEN BAR IN THE MIDDLE. THAT IS OUR REVISED YEAR END ESTIMATE. SO THAT'S HOW WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO END THE YEAR. AND THEN THE LIGHTEST GREEN BAR ON THE FAR RIGHT, THAT'S OUR YEAR TO DATE ACTUALS ARE OUR COLLECTIONS TO DATE. SO A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT HERE ON PROPERTY TAX, WHICH YOU MIGHT SEE IS OUR COLLECTIONS ARE AT 58.9 MILLION, BUT WE'RE SHOWING AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO END AT ABOUT 58.4 MILLION. THE REASON FOR THAT, WE'LL GO INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL HERE IN A BIT, IS BECAUSE OF WHAT ARE CALLED RECALCULATION, REFUNDS BY THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THESE REFUNDS HAVE BECOME MORE AUTOMATIC. WHILE NORMALLY WE RECEIVE THE MAJORITY OF OUR PROPERTY TAX AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, THOSE REFUNDS OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO THAT'S WHY WE EXPECT TO SEE OUR YEAR END ESTIMATES A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN OUR CURRENT COLLECTIONS. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. THE YEAR TO DATE THAT'S THROUGH MARCH. THAT IS THROUGH. THAT'S ACTUALLY THROUGH NOW. YEAH. SO THAT THAT INCLUDES ALL REVENUES WE'VE RECEIVED TO DATE. SO THE MONTH OF MARCH IS CLOSED OUT ON THE FINANCE SIDE. BUT WE'RE TRYING TO INCLUDE THE MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO YOU FROM THESE FIGURES. YEAH. AND SPEAKING OF THAT. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SALES TAX YOU MIGHT SEE THIS YEAR TO DATE FIGURE, YOU KNOW AT 21 MILLION. AND YOU MIGHT THINK WELL WE'RE IN MAY. WHY IS THIS SO LOW. THE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT SALES TAX COLLECTIONS ARE ALWAYS TWO MONTHS BEHIND. SO OUR MAY COLLECTIONS ARE FOR ACTIVITIES ACTUALLY OCCURRED IN MARCH. SO WE ALWAYS RECEIVE THAT AT TWO MONTHS IN ARREARS. AND THE REASON THAT WE'RE KEEPING THIS YEAR'S MID-YEAR ESTIMATE FLAT COMPARED TO THE ADOPTED BUDGET IS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF VARIATION THIS YEAR WITH OUR AUDIT COLLECTION. SO TYPICALLY, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE TEXAS COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE WILL REVIEW A BUSINESS. THEY WILL PERFORM WHAT'S CALLED A CORRECTIVE ACTION CASE. AND THEN DEPENDING ON THAT OUTCOME, THEY WILL CHANGE OUR COLLECTIONS. SOMETIMES IT'S IN OUR FAVOR, SOMETIMES IT'S NOT OUR MAY COLLECTION. WE SAW A PRETTY BIG DECREASE THERE. AND SO WE JUST WANT TO BE EXTRA CONSERVATIVE HERE. AND SO THAT'S THE REASON THAT WE'RE LEAVING THAT MID-YEAR ESTIMATE FLAT. AND THEN MOVING INTO OUR OTHER REVENUES. THIS IS THINGS LIKE YOUR PERMITS, YOUR FEES CHARGES FOR SERVICES, BASICALLY ANY OTHER GENERAL FUND REVENUE THAT IS NOT PROPERTY TAX OR SALES TAX. AND WE ARE EXPECTING TO END THE YEAR AT 38 MILLION THERE, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN WHAT WE BUDGETED AT 34.9. THEN JUST TO GO INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON SOME OF THOSE OTHER REVENUES, THESE ARE ALL REVENUES WHERE WE'RE SEEING THOSE SOURCES INCREASE COMPARED TO WHAT WE BUDGETED. SO ON THE BUILDING PERMIT SIDE, WE TALKED TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS AT RETREAT. WE ARE EXPECTING TO COME IN ABOVE BUDGET FOR OUR BUILDING PERMIT. SO WE'RE DOING GREAT THERE. WE HAD A FEW LARGE PROJECTS THAT GOT PERMITTED A LITTLE BIT SOONER THAN WE HAD ANTICIPATED, AND THEN IN SOME CASES WE HAD ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS GET PERMITTED AS WELL. SO WE'RE DOING GREAT ON THE BUILDING PERMIT SIDE, FRANCHISE TAXES HAVE KIND OF GROUPED ALL THESE TOGETHER. THERE'S A BUNCH OF INDIVIDUAL ENTITIES THAT YOU SEE HERE. BUT REALLY THE MAIN REASON THAT WE'RE PROJECTING THIS $568,000 INCREASE IS BECAUSE OF COSERV. SO THEY HAD A RATE STRUCTURE CHANGE BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2024. THAT IS IMPACTING THE REVENUES THAT WE SEE NOW AND THROUGHOUT FISCAL YEAR 2025. AND WE JUST RECEIVE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THEIR GROSS REVENUES, LANDFILL HOST FEES. THIS IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WE GROUP TOGETHER. SO THIS IS WASTE MANAGEMENT ALLIED REPUBLIC AND THEN THE FARMERS BRANCH LOCATION. AND REALLY THE REASON THAT WE'RE SEEING THIS INCREASE HERE IS BECAUSE OF A ONE TIME SPIKE IN WASTE MANAGEMENT FEES RELATED TO SOME CONTAMINATED SOIL THAT'S BEING BROUGHT TO THE LANDFILL. SO WE SEE THAT ONE TIME REVENUE INCREASE, WE DON'T

[00:40:05]

THEN WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES. AND IN PARTICULAR I'VE LISTED THIS SPECIFIC CATEGORY OF PROPERTY TAXES HERE. SO NORMALLY WE HAVE OUR GENERAL PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS. WE'VE GOT OUR PENALTY AND INTEREST FEES. AND THEN WE HAVE DELINQUENCIES AS WELL. SO THIS IS THE CATEGORY WHERE WE'RE SEEING THAT CURRENT DECREASE BASED ON THOSE RECALCULATION REFUNDS. AND THEN LASTLY WE'RE ALSO SEEING A SLIGHT DIP IN OUR WARRANT AND OTHER COURT FEES. THIS IS DUE TO TRAFFIC CITATIONS THAT HAVE DECREASED COMPARED TO THE PRIOR YEAR. THAT IMPACTS THE CASES THAT GO TO THE MUNICIPAL COURT. SO WE TEND TO SEE A DELAYED IMPACT TO OUR WARRANT AND OTHER COURT FEES AS WELL. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THAT. ONE.

IS THE ONE OF THE PROBABLY EVERYBODY HERE BENDS MY EAR THE MOST IS PEOPLE ROLL MY STOP SIGNS. PEOPLE SPEED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THERE SEEMS TO BE A PLETHORA OF OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE CITATIONS. IS THIS A IS THIS REFLECTIVE OF STAFFING OF A DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHY FOR, FOR WHERE WE SPEND OUR TIME AND RESOURCES JUST IS WHAT IT IS? NO, NOT NECESSARILY. OUR CITATION COUNTS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN RELATIVELY STABLE OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE, AND THE OFFICERS SPEND A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME DEALING WITH INTERSECTION ENFORCEMENT AT THIS CURRENT POINT TO DEAL WITH IT. THERE IS QUITE A BIT, THOUGH IT IS A CULTURAL ISSUE, I THINK FOR THE WHOLE THE WHOLE DRIVING WORLD RIGHT NOW. SO THAT FIRST LINE TRAFFIC CITATIONS HAVE DROPPED. THAT IS IN COMPARISON TO LAST YEAR. WE SAW A SIGNIFICANT SPIKE LAST YEAR. BUT CHIEF ROLLINS'S STATEMENT IS CORRECT. JUST ON AVERAGE WE'RE TRENDING WHERE WE NORMALLY ARE.

OKAY. SO IS IT A SPIKE COMPARED TO LAST YEAR? CORRECT. OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU. I THINK INFLATION AND PEOPLE NEEDING TO JUST PAY THEIR MORTGAGE AND ELECTRICITY THIS HAS GONE. IT'S ON THE SHELF. THEY JUST HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO IT YET. OKAY. MOVING ON TO THE HOTEL MOTEL FUND. WE REALLY JUST HAVE TWO SOURCES OF REVENUE HERE. IT'S THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX. THAT'S THE BIG ONE. WE ALSO HAVE A PORTION OF INTEREST EARNINGS. OUR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX REVENUES ARE TRENDING RIGHT ON BUDGET. WE EXPECT TO END THE YEAR AT ABOUT 2.7 MILLION. YOU CAN SEE OUR YEAR TO DATE COLLECTIONS RIGHT THERE, 1.3 MILLION. AND THEN INTEREST EARNINGS ACROSS THE BOARD. WE HAVE INTEREST EARNINGS IN ALL OF OUR FUNDS. WE DO BUDGET THIS VERY CONSERVATIVELY.

WE PAY ATTENTION TO FEDERAL INTEREST RATE CUTS OR ANY IMPACTS THERE AS WELL. WE ARE ACTUALLY SEEING WE'RE GOING TO COME IN ABOVE BUDGET AND THE MAJORITY OF OUR INTEREST EARNINGS ACROSS THE FUNDS. ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION HERE OUT OF THESE YEAR TO DATE COLLECTIONS, JUST UNDER 58,000 IS DUE TO SHORT TERM RENTALS THAT ARE NOW REMITTING THAT TAX TO US. THEN I'VE GROUPED TOGETHER OUR CRIME CONTROL, FIRE CONTROL AND FORBY FUNDS. SO THESE ARE ALL OF OUR SALES TAX DEDICATED FUNDS. THE REASON THAT WE GROUP THEM TOGETHER IS BECAUSE WE DO THOSE TRENDS THE SAME WAY THAT WE DO IN THE GENERAL FUND SIDE. SO BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING THAT FLUCTUATION IN OUR AUDIT COLLECTIONS, WE'RE HOLDING THESE REVENUE ESTIMATES FLAT AS WELL THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE YEAR. MOVING ON TO OUR UTILITY FUND. THE THREE MAIN REVENUE SOURCES IN THIS FUND ARE OUR WATER SALES, OUR SEWER SERVICE, AND THEN OUR CAPITAL RECOVERY FEES, WHICH ARE ALSO KNOWN AS IMPACT FEES. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT WATER SALES, WE ARE GOING TO END THE YEAR ABOVE BUDGET, WHICH IS GREAT. THIS IS TYPICALLY A TREND THAT WE SEE IN THE UTILITY FUND. I DO WANT TO REMIND COUNCIL THAT YOU APPROVED RATE INCREASE ON OCTOBER 1ST. SO THAT HELPS US FUND THOSE CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS AND ALSO OUR UTILITY OPERATIONS. BUT ALSO THIS REVENUE SOURCE IS DEVELOPMENT DEPENDENT AS WELL. SO AS WE CONTINUE TO BRING IN NEW DEVELOPMENT, WE'LL SEE INCREASES IN THIS REVENUE. AND THEN ALSO IT IS HEAVILY WEATHER DEPENDENT. SO LAST YEAR WE HAD A VERY RAINY SEASON. THIS YEAR WE'VE HAD SOME RAIN NOT TO THE EXTENT OF LAST YEAR FINGERS CROSSED. BUT PROVIDED THAT WE RETURN TO A NORMALIZED YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO END THE YEAR JUST FINE. THE UTILITY FUND ON SEWER SERVICE. WE ARE EXPECTING A SMALL DECREASE IN REVENUES. THEY'RE DROPPING FROM ESSENTIALLY NINE, I'M SORRY, 19 MILLION TO 18.5. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS WE'RE SEEING OUR MONTHLY REVENUES FOR SEWER SERVICE REMAIN THE SAME. BUT REALLY WHAT THIS IS A UTILITY BILLING ACCRUAL TO CORRECT A PRIOR YEAR ENTRY. SO OVERALL ACROSS THE BOARD IN UTILITY FUND WE'RE IN GREAT SHAPE. AND THEN LASTLY OUR WATER AND SEWER CAPITAL RECOVERY FEES. WE'RE EXPECTING TO END THE YEAR AT ABOUT 1.8 MILLION. MOVING ON TO THE DRAINAGE FUND SOMEWHAT OF A SIMILAR PATTERN HERE, ALTHOUGH

[00:45:05]

WELL, IN REALITY, 13 OF THAT 19 MILLION WAS A TRANSFER TO STREET MAINTENANCE, STREET CIP. SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW WAS ON COUNCIL'S RADAR LAST YEAR. SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THOSE EXPENDITURES IN THE GENERAL FUND SO HIGH THERE. AND THEN ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO CALL OUT WAS ON NON-DEPARTMENTAL, WHICH IS TOWARDS THE END OF THIS CHART HERE, THAT LIGHT GREEN BAR IS HIGHER THAN THE DARK GREEN BAR. THE REASON FOR THAT IS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, IN FACT, BACK IN MARCH, COUNCIL APPROVED A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION TO HELP FULLY FUND OUR NEW RETIREMENT PROGRAM. SO THERE WAS AN AMENDMENT TO THE BUDGET THAT YOU'RE NOT SEEING REFLECTED HERE. SO WE WILL COME IN UNDER THE AMENDED BUDGET. I JUST WANTED TO CALL THAT OUT.

AND THEN ONE OTHER THING THAT WE LIKE TO DO IS JUST PROVIDE COUNCIL WITH AN UPDATE OF ANY DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET ALLOCATIONS THAT WE'VE SHIFTED AROUND. SO ALL OF THESE ARE STAYING WITHIN THEIR ORIGINAL FUNDS. WE'RE JUST SHIFTING THAT ALLOCATION AROUND. SO ON THE GENERAL FUND SIDE, WE HAD A MID-YEAR REORGANIZATION BACK IN FEBRUARY OF CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE AND CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE STAFF. I DO BELIEVE THAT COUNCIL WAS BRIEFED ON THOSE CHANGES PRIOR TO THEM OCCURRING. AND THEN WE ALSO MOVED SOME PUBLIC SAFETY FUNDING THAT WAS SET ASIDE IN OUR NON-DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET OVER TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. ONCE WE FOUND OUT THAT THEY RECEIVED A GRANT. SO THE GRANT THAT THEY RECEIVED COVERED A PART OF THREE POLICE OFFICERS SALARIES. THE CITY'S ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR BENEFITS AND OTHER ONGOING EXPENSES AS WELL. SO ONCE WE FOUND OUT THAT THEY GOT THAT GRANT, WE MOVED THAT BUDGET OVER TO THEIR DEPARTMENT. THEN MOVING INTO THE GRANTS FUND, WE UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT RECEIVE THE SAFER FIREFIGHTER GRANT THAT WE APPLIED FOR THROUGH FEMA, BUT WITH THOSE BUDGETED FUNDS WE WERE ABLE TO DO IS GO AHEAD AND FUND GRANTS THAT THE CITY DID RECEIVE THAT WE HAD NOT ANTICIPATED. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT THAT WAS BROUGHT TO COUNCIL BACK IN DECEMBER THAT WILL FUND FIRST AID KITS. IT'S RECEIVED A CYBERSECURITY GRANT. AND THEN ENNIS ACTUALLY JUST GOT NOTICE THAT THEY RECEIVED AN ICMA ECONOMIC MOBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY GRANT. AND THAT'S THE IMAGE THAT YOU SEE HERE. I WANTED TO POINT THIS ONE OUT BECAUSE I THINK ONLY 15 ENTITIES WERE SELECTED. SO IT'S PRETTY RARE THAT WE GOT THIS OPPORTUNITY. AND WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL THE PLANS THAT COME OUT OF THIS. AND THEN MOVING INTO THE FINAL PORTION OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION. THIS IS WHAT IS ON YOUR AGENDA FOR LATER TONIGHT ON CONSENT FOR YOUR MIDYEAR SUPPLEMENTALS. WE LIKE TO JUST GIVE YOU A QUICK DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLEMENTALS THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR HERE, STARTING WITH THE GENERAL FUND. WE'RE ASKING FOR 598,000. THE LARGE MAJORITY OF THAT IS THOSE PARK DEVELOPMENT, PARKLAND DEDICATION AND TREE MITIGATION FEES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. SO BECAUSE WE'RE BRINGING IN ALL OF THAT REVENUE, WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE IT OUT TO THE PROJECTS SO THAT WE CAN SPEND IT. RIGHT. SO WE CAN DO MORE TREE PLANTINGS, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WE HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE DOLLARS TO SPEND SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. THEN A SMALL PORTION OF IT IS FOR THE UPCOMING RUNOFF ELECTION THAT WILL BE HELD ON JUNE 7TH, AND THEN THE REMAINING 91,000 IS FOR ASBESTOS TESTING AND DEMOLITION OF THE RECENTLY ACQUIRED MILL STREET PROPERTY THAT'S AT THE CORNER OF HIGH SCHOOL AND MILL STREET. WE ARE AWARE THAT ONE OF COUNCIL'S STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS IS BEAUTIFICATION EFFORTS, SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GO AHEAD AND GET THIS KICKED OFF. THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO CLEAN UP. JUST TO REMIND YOU, BECAUSE I THINK I GOT A QUESTION FROM ONE OF YOU, HAS THE PROPERTY WHERE WE HAVE THE FUTURE ENTRY SIGN COMING INTO LEWISVILLE? BUT OF COURSE, WE'RE ALSO NOW THE PROUD OWNER OF THAT OLD BUILDING AND NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. SO MOVING ON INTO THE DEBT SERVICE FUND, WE'RE ASKING FOR 1.9 MILLION HERE. I WANTED TO SPEND SOME TIME AND TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. SO NORMALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE WILL DO THE CITY'S

[00:50:04]

THEN ON THE UTILITY FUND SIDE, AGAIN, THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT WE ARE SEEING IN THE DEBT SERVICE FUND, BECAUSE WE DO OUR GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS OUT OF THE DEBT SERVICE FUND AND OUR UTILITY REVENUE BONDS OUT OF THE UTILITY FUND. WE WILL ALSO SUPPLEMENTAL ON THE UTILITY FUND SIDE TO MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS. AND THEN LASTLY, TERTIARY. WE'RE ASKING FOR $74,000 HERE. PART OF THIS IS TO INCREASE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE THAT FOR THE CITY'S CONSULTANT P3 WORKS, IN ORDER TO REVIEW THE INCREASED AMOUNT OF DRAW REQUESTS WE'RE SEEING FOR THE CASTLE HILLS AREA DEVELOPMENT OUT THERE. AND THEN THE REST OF IT IS TO INCREASE THE CURRENT YEAR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPER. SO WE HAVE AN OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THIS IS NOT INCREASING THEIR OVERALL PAYMENT. THIS IS JUST ALLOWING US TO PAY THAT AGREEMENT DOWN QUICKER. AND THE TERTIARY BOARD DID APPROVE THIS REQUEST EARLIER THIS MONTH. AND THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT. AGAIN, ALL OF THESE SUPPLEMENTALS ARE ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT FOR CONSIDERATION. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. YES. THANK YOU.

THAT'S FINE OKAY. A GAVEL AGAIN. DO I GAVEL AGAIN. YES. ALL RIGHT. WELCOME BACK. SO I AM NOT TJ GILMORE I'M NOT MAYOR GILMORE I AM MAYOR PRO TEM PATRICK KELLY. SO BEAR WITH ME AS I TRY TO FILL SOME BIG SHOES. AS SOME GREAT PEOPLE UP HERE HELP ME WHEN I MISSTEP. AND WE'RE GOING

[C. Public Hearing]

WHICH IS FANTASTIC. OKAY, RICHARD LUKE IS HERE WITH THE PRESENTATION. RICHARD, PLEASE GO AHEAD. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM, THIS PRESENTATION WILL COVER QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION. THE CASE BEFORE YOU IS VERY COMPLEX. THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS. SO WE'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO WALK YOU THROUGH ALL OF THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT CLEARER UNDERSTANDING. FIRST, I'M GOING TO START WITH SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL EVENTS CONCERNING CASTLE HILLS. IT ALL STARTED IN 1996, WHEN THE ORIGINAL CASTLE HILLS AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED, AND IN THAT AGREEMENT, BASED ZONING DESIGNATIONS WERE ESTABLISHED. I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE WORD DESIGNATIONS. THEY WERE NOT ZONING DISTRICTS BECAUSE THAT AREA WAS NOT IN THE CITY LIMITS. SO ALL THE DEVELOPMENT WAS CONTROLLED BY THIS MASTER AGREEMENT. AND THERE WAS A PRETTY GOOD NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ZONING DESIGNATIONS THAT WERE APPROVED THAT THAT WERE ENABLED TO BE USED IN CASTLE HILLS. AND ONE OF THOSE WAS THE GENERAL BUSINESS TWO ZONING DESIGNATION. AND AS CASTLE HILL STARTED DEVELOPING THE WAY THAT WORKED, THOSE ZONING DESIGNATIONS WERE ASSIGNED AT THE TIME OF THE OF THE FINAL PLAT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL SITES, AND THAT THOSE ASSIGNMENTS WERE MADE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE LIMITATIONS

[00:55:04]

THERE'S CASTLE HILLS PRIMARY THAT IS REALLY EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE REALM. AND CROWN CENTER INCLUDES ALL THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ALL OF THE TOWNHOME AREAS, THE EARLY GARDEN STYLE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT ALONG WINDHAVEN, AND OF COURSE, ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS ADJACENT TO THE GOLF COURSE. AGAIN, THE REALM IS A SPECIAL DISTRICT THAT CONTAINED ALL THOSE REGULATIONS THAT WERE ADOPTED IN 2014 AND THEN AGAIN, CROWN CENTER IS ANOTHER HAS ANOTHER SET OF VERY UNIQUE REGULATIONS TO REALLY CREATE AN URBAN MIXED USE ENVIRONMENT. AND THAT AREA IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SAM RAYBURN TOLLWAY. AND THOSE REGULATIONS WERE ADOPTED IN 2020 RIGHT AHEAD OF THE ANNEXATION. AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE BASE ZONING DISTRICTS FOR ALL THE PROPERTIES WITHIN CASTLE HILLS REFLECT THE REGULATIONS THAT WERE ADOPTED IN 1996. NOW, THOSE 1996 BASE ZONING DISTRICTS WEREN'T JUST CARBON COPIED FROM THE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT WERE IN THE CITY. THEY HAD SOME MODIFICATIONS DONE. IT WAS IT WAS A NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER AT THAT TIME AND WERE MEMORIALIZED IN THAT ORIGINAL 1996 AGREEMENT. OKAY. NOW WE'RE GOING TO DRILL DOWN ONE MORE LEVEL, DOWN TO THE REALM. THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER ABOUT THE REALM IS THAT OUR ZONING ORDINANCE AT THE TIME OF, OF CREATION OF THE PD REQUIRED THAT MANDATED THAT THERE BE A CONCEPT PLAN ATTACHED. SO THERE IS A CONCEPT PLAN ATTACHED, BUT IT REALLY ONLY ADDRESSES TWO ELEMENTS. IT ONLY ADDRESSES THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT, LOCATIONS AND SITE CIRCULATION. THAT IS IT. PERIOD.

ALL OF THE OTHER TRADITIONAL LAND USE REGULATIONS, SUCH AS HEIGHT, LAND USE, SETBACKS AND SO FORTH ARE ALREADY COVERED IN THE BASE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1996 AND AMENDED IN 2014, SO THAT THE CONCEPT PLAN AMENDMENTS, THERE WAS A PROCESS ESTABLISHED FOR THIS. WE KNEW THAT THERE WERE STILL QUITE A BIT OF LAND LEFT IN THE REALM TO BE DEVELOPED, SO WE HAD TO HAVE A PROCESS FOR MAKING THOSE CHANGES BECAUSE THINGS DO CHANGE OVER TIME. SO THERE WAS A MINOR MODIFICATION PROCESS AND A MAJOR MODIFICATION PROCESS. MINOR MODIFICATION IS DESCRIBED AS ANY TYPE OF CHANGES TO THE LOCATION OF BUILDINGS, CHANGES TO THE SIZE OF BUILDING FOOTPRINTS, AND MINOR CHANGES TO THE SITE CIRCULATION PATTERN THAT DO NOT IMPACT THE SITE OR

[01:00:01]

IT ALSO KICKS IN A NOTIFICATION PROCESS, AND I WILL BRING UP A MAP AND EXPLAIN THAT HERE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ON THE NEXT SLIDE. I DO WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT TO ADDRESS THOSE BLANK AREAS WHERE WHERE THERE WAS REALLY UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHAT WOULD DEVELOP ON THOSE SITES, THOSE CONCEPT PLANS FOR THOSE BLANK AREAS CAN BE APPROVED BY THE PLANNING DIRECTOR, AS LONG AS IT ALIGNS WITH ALL THE ALL THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THE SUBDISTRICT AND IN THE OVERALL PD. SO THIS IS THE BOUNDARIES OF THE REALM. NOW THERE'S TWO SUB AREAS. YOU CAN SEE THE RED ONE ALONG THE NORTH IS NORTH OF WINDHAVEN PARKWAY. THAT IS SUBAREA ONE. AND THEN SUBAREA TWO IS THE BLUE. WE ESTABLISHED TWO SEPARATE SUB AREAS PRIMARILY FOR AMENDMENTS, EITHER AMENDMENTS TO THE BASE ZONING, WHICH STILL GO THROUGH A REZONING PROCESS, OR FOR CONCEPT PLAN AMENDMENTS, WHICH AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO BREAK IT DOWN TO EITHER MAJOR OR MINOR. MAJOR ONES WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE REZONING PROCESS. MINOR CAN BE APPROVED BY STAFF, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE THIS MAP ILLUSTRATES THE 2014 BOUNDARIES ESTABLISHED FOR THE REALM, THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY BEING THE KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN RAILROAD AT THE TIME, AND IT'S NOW THE CANADIAN PACIFIC KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN RAILROAD. THIS NEXT SLIDE SHOWS THE BASE ZONING DISTRICT. SO IT'S REALLY THE BASE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT REGULATE THE USE, THE SETBACKS AND THE HEIGHT. AND I CAN KIND OF OUTLINE THE REALLY THE BRIGHT RED IS THE GENERAL BUSINESS. TWO BASE ZONING DISTRICT. SO PRIMARILY ALONG THE SAM RAYBURN TOLLWAY. BUT THEN WE HAVE THESE AREAS ALONG FM 544 PARKER ROAD. IT'S COMMON FOR MAJOR TRANSPORTATION ARTERIES TO HAVE GENERAL BUSINESS ZONING. THE REALLY DARK BROWN AREA IS THE MULTI-FAMILY THREE, AND THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE A LOT OF THE HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING IN CASTLE HILLS. KIND OF THE DARKER RED ARE TOWNHOME. AND THEN THE KIND OF ALMOST PURPLE COLOR IS THE ESTATE, TOWNHOME, BASE ZONING DISTRICT. SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S KIND OF A MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICTS WITHIN THE REALM. SO NOW I WANT TO DRILL DOWN ONE MORE LAYER TO THE GENERAL BUSINESS TO BASE ZONING DISTRICTS. AND AGAIN, THIS OR THIS BASE ZONE HAS ZERO FRONT, SIDE OR REAR YARD SETBACKS. THE HEIGHT IS A IS A LITTLE COMPLEX.

IT'S PRIMARILY UNLIMITED HEIGHT, ONLY REGULATED TO ANY LIMITATIONS FROM THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF AREA AIRPORTS. BUT THEN THERE'S SOME CAVEATS WERE BUILT IN ONE OF THOSE STATES THAT IF A LOT IS ADJACENT TO A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, NO BUILDING SHALL EXCEED 45FT IN HEIGHT. BUT THERE'S AN EXCEPTION. YOU CAN GAIN TWO FEET OF ADDITIONAL HEIGHT FOR EACH ONE FOOT OF ADDITIONAL SETBACK THAT YOU THAT YOU ADD. THERE'S ACTUALLY ANOTHER CAVEAT. AND THAT'S THAT LAST SENTENCE. IT SAYS IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PORTION OF A BUILDING LOCATED WITHIN 150FT OF ANY PROPERTY ZONED FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES EXCEED THE HEIGHT OF THAT RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. SO THERE ARE SEVERAL LAYERS OF PROTECTION BUILT IN DEPENDING ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL SITE. I'VE LISTED A MULTITUDE OF USES AND THESE ARE THE PERMITTED USES. THERE IS A VERY. A FURTHER LIST OF USES THAT ARE ONLY ALLOWED BY SPECIAL USE PERMIT. I DID NOT INCLUDE THOSE, BUT THESE ARE THE PERMITTED USES, PRIMARILY OFFICE, RETAIL, RESTAURANT AND THAT SORT OF THING.

ENTERTAINMENT TYPE USES. BUT I DO WANT TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE LAST ONE. AGAIN. THAT'S WHERE THAT USE THAT WAS THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL IN 2014 WHEN THE REALM WAS CREATED.

DWELLING UNITS OF 700FT■!S, A MINIMUM SIZE WHEN LOCATED OVER RETAIL, RESTAURANT OR SIMILAR USE ON THE FIRST FLOOR. THIS NEXT SLIDE SHOWS KIND OF A COMPARISON OF THE BASE GENERAL GENERAL BUSINESS TWO DISTRICT IN IN THE CASTLE HILLS PD COMPARED TO THE GENERAL BUSINESS TWO DISTRICT AND OUR CURRENT UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. YOU CAN SEE IN BOTH SITUATIONS IT'S A ZERO

[01:05:07]

THE VERSION THAT THAT WAS SUBMITTED, WE COULD SEE THAT THOSE WERE LOT NUMBERS. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT ILLUSTRATES ONE SINGLE BUILDING OF APPROXIMATELY 14,000FT■!S, AND THAT BUILDING WAS MOVED CLOSER TO PARKER ROAD, WITH SITE CIRCULATION GOING AROUND THE BUILDING. AND THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'LL SHOW HOW THAT CIRCULATION HAS CHANGED. SITE CIRCULATION CHANGE IS CONSIDERED A MAJOR MODIFICATION TO THE CONCEPT PLAN, AND REQUIRES APPROVAL THROUGH THE ZONING AND THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT AN 80 FOOT TO 120 FOOT WIDE ELECTRIC UTILITY EASEMENT IDENTIFIED ON THE FINAL PLAT, APPROVED IN JUNE 22ND, FURTHER CONSTRAINED THE BUILDING LOCATION OPTIONS ON THE SITE. AND AGAIN, WE HAVE AN ILLUSTRATION THAT THAT THAT SHOWS THAT. AND I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE FINAL ORIGINAL FINAL PLAT WAS APPROVED BY PNC IN JUNE OF 22. IT WAS REPORTED IN APRIL OF 2023, AND WITH THAT ORIGINAL PLAT, THE ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE, PARTICULARLY WATER AND SEWER, WAS WAS ENGINEERED AND APPROVED BY STAFF, AND IT WAS SIZED TO SERVE A POTENTIAL MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE. AND AGAIN, I THINK THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REITERATE IS THAT THE USES WITHIN THE PROPOSED BUILDING AND THE HEIGHT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING ARE NOT ELEMENTS UNDER CONSIDERATION. WITH THIS PROPOSED CONCEPT. CONCEPT, PLAN, AMENDMENT. AGAIN, THOSE ITEMS ARE NOT ON THE TABLE. AND I THINK THIS ILLUSTRATION KIND OF SAYS IT ALL. THIS IS WHAT IS ON THE TABLE. WHAT IS SHOWN IN BLUE ON THE LEFT YOU HAVE THE CURRENT CONCEPT PLAN, AND ON THE RIGHT YOU HAVE THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN. SO THAT'S REALLY THE CHANGE THAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT THE SITE CIRCULATION IS SHOWN IN BLUE ON ON BOTH OF THESE ILLUSTRATIONS. AND AGAIN I MENTIONED THE ELECTRIC EASEMENT THAT IS ON THE SITE. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT OCCUPIES ALMOST A THIRD OF THAT SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE SITE. THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY IS SHOWN IN RED, AND WHAT IS IN YELLOW IS THE ELECTRIC EASEMENT. SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S THE PRESENCE OF THAT EASEMENT REALLY DICTATES HOW THE SITE CAN BE DEVELOPED. AND WE'RE BUILDINGS CAN BE LOCATED. FINALLY, I DO WANT TO SHOW SOME, SOME, SOME IMAGES. THAT STAFF WENT OUT EARLIER LAST WEEK AND USED A DRONE TO JUST TAKE SOME STILL SHOTS. AND THIS SHOT HERE IS APPROXIMATELY IS FACING NORTH ABOVE THE PROPOSED BUILDING FOOTPRINT AT A AT AN ELEVATION OF ABOUT 47.5FT ABOVE THE CURRENT GRADE. NOW, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE SITE WILL HAVE TO BE REGRADED AND WILL WILL MOST LIKELY DROP ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 15FT. BUT AGAIN, 47.5FT WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE THAT WILL BE ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF WHERE THE WINDOWS ON THE TOP FLOOR WILL BE LOCATED. SO THIS WOULD BE THE VIEW FROM THE POTENTIALLY FROM THE BUILDING OR MORE SLIGHTLY LOWER LOOKING NORTH. THIS NEXT VIEW IS LOOKING TO THE SOUTH. AND THIS IS A THE

[01:10:04]

I ACTUALLY HAVE JUST A JUST A FEW RICHARD, IF YOU'LL INDULGE ME HERE. OKAY. SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE RESERVE IN THE NOTIFICATION. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT A LETTER WAS SENT TO THE HOA. IS THAT CORRECT? DO YOU HAVE THE ADDRESS THAT WAS SENT TO. I DON'T HAVE IT ON ME RIGHT NOW, BUT I DID LOOK IT UP AND IT WAS SENT TO YOU. IT WAS SENT? YES. I DID CONFIRM THAT TODAY. OKAY. AND THEN FOR CLARIFICATION, THIS IS TWO LOTS REALLY. ONE IS IN A FLOODPLAIN THAT IS MOSTLY UNDEVELOPABLE, AND THEN ONE IS THE ONE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

NOW, EVEN THOUGH THE ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL LOOKED LIKE EIGHT, THERE'S REALLY TWO PLOTS AND TW.

TWO, IT'S ACTUALLY ONE LOT THAT'S THE SUBJECT OF THIS CONCEPT PLAN CHANGE. THE OTHER LOT IS MOSTLY FLOODPLAIN, WITH A SMALL AREA THAT'S DEVELOPABLE ON THE FAR EASTERN END. AND THAT'S NOT THE SUBJECT OF THIS CONCEPT PLAN AMENDMENT. OKAY. AND THERE'S TALK IN THE NOTES ABOUT THE ABOUT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL COST. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IS THAT HAS BEEN AGREED, AT LEAST IN PRINCIPLE, TO BE BORNE BY THE DEVELOPER. YES. THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO BEAR THE COST OF THAT TRAFFIC SIGNAL, AND WE HAVE WAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS. YES, IT IS A DOCUMENTED ON THE ON THE ORDINANCE. SO THAT WAY IT WOULD BE ENFORCEABLE WITH WITH THE NEXT PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS THE ENGINEERING SITE PLAN PROCESS. THAT'S EVERYTHING FOR ME. CITY MANAGER POWELL, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? YES. MAYOR PRO TEM, AFTER LOOKING AT THIS AND HEARING, I THINK WE'VE RECEIVED SEVERAL COMMENTS FROM THE RESIDENTS AND I KNOW THAT EVERYONE WOULD LOVE TO TIE THIS UP TONIGHT. MY ALTHOUGH OUR RECOMMENDATION IS STILL TO SUPPORT THIS, I FEEL LIKE THERE TO ALLOW STAFF SOME OPPORTUNITY TO TIGHTEN UP SOME OF THE LANGUAGE WITH RELATION TO THAT TRAFFIC SIGNAL STAFF TO BE ABLE TO FULLY VET THAT WARRANT STUDY AND, YOU KNOW, SEE IF WE CAN WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER TO TIE DOWN THAT HEIGHT LIMIT AND OTHER THINGS AS CONDITIONS ON THE CONCEPT PLAN, I THINK WOULD BE BENEFICIAL. SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD ACTUALLY I'M, I'M NOW RECOMMENDING THAT WE CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO THE JUNE 2ND CITY COUNCIL MEETING. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE STILL TO GIVE THEIR POSITIONS, AND OBVIOUSLY TO HEAR FROM THE DEVELOPER THEMSELVES, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, I FEEL LIKE I'VE PERSONALLY I'VE HEARD SOME OF THE CONCERNS AND I THINK WE CAN ADDRESS SOME, AT LEAST TYING DOWN SOME OF THE THINGS A

[01:15:03]

BUT WE DO HAVE THE PRESENTATION FROM DEVELOPER, CORRECT? YES. AND IT WILL BE MARISSA BREWER.

THE AGENDA ACTUALLY SAYS JOSH BARTON. SO I DID WANT TO OFFER THAT CORRECTION. OKAY. AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT THE PRESENTATION TOO IF YOU'LL INDULGE US. THANK YOU. HELLO.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS MARISSA BREWER. I'M AT 40 400 STATE HIGHWAY 121 LEWISVILLE, TEXAS. THANK YOU. RICHARD, A LOT OF WHAT I'M GOING TO TALK ON IS BASICALLY BEEN COVERED BY RICHARD. BUT I JUST WANT TO GO A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO THE PRESENTATION. SO FIRST I'M GOING TO RECAP A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY, THE ALIGNMENT OF FM 544 WAS ORIGINALLY THIS. AT THE TIME THEY WERE LOOKING FOR RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION. TEXTILE WAS LOOKING AT RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION. AND SO THAT'S WHEN THEY HAD APPROACHED BRIGHT REALTY IN ORDER TO GET THAT DEDICATION FROM THEM. SO THEY. RIGHT, RIGHT. BRIGHT REALTY GAVE ABOUT 17.02 ACRES WITHIN THAT RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION. AND THEN THROUGH SOME AGREEMENTS, TXDOT REALIZED THAT THEY DID NOT NEED ALL OF THAT DEDICATION, WHICH GAVE BACK ABOUT TWO ACRES, WHICH GAVE US THE SITE TODAY. AS RICHARD HAD MENTIONED AT THE TIME OF ANNEXATION, THERE WAS A 60 DAY PROCESS THAT THE PD HAD TO BE CREATED AND HAD TO HAVE A CONCEPT PLAN TIED TO THE PD. UNLIKE NORMAL PDS THAT WE SEE, A LOT OF TIMES THE CONCEPT PLANS ARE VERY DETAILED AND THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THAT PD. IN THIS CASE, I THINK THERE WAS A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW SOME OF THEM COULD BE DETAILED AND SOME OF THEM WERE WERE ARBITRARY, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT THIS LOT LOOKED LIKE AT THE TIME. SO RICHARD HAD MENTIONED ABOUT THE TWO LOTS, THE RIGHT LOT BEING JUST MAINLY FLOODPLAIN AND THEN THE LEFT LOT BEING REPLATTED. SO WITH THAT REPLAT, DURING THAT PROCESS THEY HAVE INCREASED INFRASTRUCTURE. SO DURING THAT TIME THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS WERE PLACED IN ORDER TO CONTAIN A MIXED USE PRODUCT. SO AT THAT TIME THAT WAS THE INTENT OF WHAT THIS SITE COULD HOLD. SO THIS IS NOW OBVIOUSLY THE NEW ALIGNMENT. AND THEN THIS IS THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT BASED OFF OF THAT. AS RICHARD HAD MENTIONED BACK IN 1996, THE ZONING DISTINCTION WAS ESTABLISHED AND IS STILL THAT SAME ZONING DISTRICT THROUGH THE PROCESS. SO JUST TO REITERATE, WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A REZONING. THIS IS GOING TO STAY GBH2 LIKE IT HAS INTENDED TO BE.

GBH2 FROM THE BEGINNING, WE ARE JUST LOOKING AT THE MAJOR MODIFICATION WITHIN THE SITE CIRCULATION. SO WHEN WE WENT TO PNC, WE HEARD FROM THE RESIDENTS ABOUT THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS. SO I WANTED TO DIVE A LITTLE BIT DEEPER JUST TO KIND OF ADD SOME CLARIFICATION TO THOSE DISCUSSIONS. SO THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS, RICHARD HAD TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. WE DID PUT OUT SIGNS PER THE CITY ORDINANCE. THOSE ARE REQUIRED. AND THEN WE ALSO SENT OUT MEETING A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING NOTIFICATIONS BY THIS LIST THAT THE CITY HAD PROVIDED. AND THEN THAT JUST SHOWS THAT 200 FOOT BUFFER FROM THE PROPERTY AND WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. SO THOSE ARE THE ZONING SIGNS. AND THEN THAT BUFFER A LITTLE BIT MORE ZOOMED IN. SO TOUCHING ON THE ZONING AGAIN THIS ZONING IS COMING BEFORE YOU. NOT BECAUSE WE ARE ASKING FOR A REZONING, BUT BECAUSE WE ARE MAKING A MODIFICATION, A MAJOR MODIFICATION IN THE SITE CIRCULATION. SO WITHIN THAT, WE ARE STILL FOLLOWING THE PERMITTED USES THAT GBH2 ALLOWS.

WE ARE NOT PROPOSING ANY NEW USE. AND ONE OF THOSE USES THAT IS ALLOWED IS THE GROUND FLOOR RETAIL WITH MULTIFAMILY ON TOP. SO EVEN IF THIS SITE WAS TO BE STAY THE SAME, THOSE ELEMENTS THAT ARE PERMITTED ARE STILL ALLOWED TO BE WITHIN THAT EXISTING CONCEPT PLAN THAT WAS BEING SHOWN. SO WE'RE STAYING WITH WHAT IS PERMITTED AND WHAT IS ALLOWED CURRENTLY. AND THEN TOUCHING ON THIS A LITTLE BIT. SO WHEN THIS WAS DESIGNED, YOU KNOW, YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE ENCORE EASEMENTS THAT STRETCHED THE BACKSIDE THINKING ABOUT KIND OF THE CIRCULATION FIRE, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO ACCESS THESE BUILDINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO CREATING A MORE REFINED PLAN, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TODAY, LOOKING AT THOSE ELEMENTS WITH THOSE EASEMENTS, BUT THEN ALSO LOOKING AT THE SAFETY THAT FIRE NEEDS IN ORDER TO ACCESS ALL PARTS OF THE BUILDING, AND THEN ALSO CREATING THAT SETBACK THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED. SO DIVING INTO THE

[01:20:07]

HERE YOU SEE THE SAME THING. YOU SEE A HOUSE, YOU SEE A ROAD, YOU SEE A MULTIFAMILY BUILDING SO VERY COHESIVE WITH WHAT IS ALREADY EXISTING WITHIN CASTLE HILLS. AND SOME OF THESE DISTANCES ARE ACTUALLY A LOT LESS THAN WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING. SO WE ARE PROVIDING, LIKE I SAID, ABOUT A 350 FOOT DISTANCE, WITH SOME OF THESE DISTANCES BEING A LOT LESS THAN WHAT HAS DONE BEFORE, AND THEN TALKING ON THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS. SO BACK IN AUGUST OF 2024, MCADAMS HAD PREPARED A TIA FOR THIS SPECIFIC SITE. IT HAD NEVER BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY, HOWEVER, IT WAS CONDUCTED. AND THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT THIS SITE NEEDED A SIGNAL. THE AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON TODAY. WE'RE UPDATING THE OVERALL TIA FOR THE OVERALL REALM, AND SO THAT WILL ALSO SHOW THAT THIS SITE NEEDS THAT TRAFFIC SIGNAL. SO THAT'S THE NOTE THAT WAS PUT ON THE PLANS IN ORDER TO CONFIRM THAT THAT WOULD BE DONE AT THE TIME AND THEN THROUGH SITE SUBMITTALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT WOULD ALSO HELP REFINE THAT. THAT SIGNAL NEEDS TO BE PUT THERE. SO JUST ADDRESSING SOME OF THE CONCERNS AND WALKING THROUGH, HOW IS THIS COHESIVE WITH THE LAND USE? THE ZONING HAD BEEN INITIATED BACK IN 1996, AND WE'RE STICKING WITH THE SAME ZONING. WE'RE NOT CHANGING IT. PROVIDE CERTAINTY, CERTAINTY. WE ARE SITTING THERE NOW ON THIS CONCEPT PLAN THAT WE ARE SUBMITTING. IT HAS ESTABLISHED HEIGHT. IT HAS THE MAX NUMBER OF BUILDING SETBACKS THAT YOU NEED, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT DOES NOT PROVIDE. SO AT THIS TIME, THAT ORIGINAL CONCEPT IS VERY UNCERTAIN. AND YOU COULD DO ANYTHING THAT'S PERMITTED WITHIN THAT GB2 ZONING CODE. THE INCREASED SETBACKS IMPROVED TRAFFIC BY ADDING THAT TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND THEN COMPATIBLE. WE'VE SEEN IT THROUGH CASTLE HILLS. IT IS VERY COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING LAND USE. AND THEN THE CONSTRAINTS ON THE PROPERTY WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION HAPPENING, AND THEN ALSO JUST THE EASEMENTS FOR ENCORE POWER LINES. IT CREATES A VERY TOUGH PIECE OF PROPERTY, AND WE BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD BE THE BEST USE FOR THIS AREA. THAT ALSO FOLLOWS ALL THE EXISTING LAND USE, BUT ALSO WHAT WAS INTENDED AT THE BEGINNING. SO WITH THAT, I HAVE CONCLUDED MY PRESENTATION AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ERIC STANLEY IS ALSO HERE AND HE ALSO HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE. SO COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. SO CAN YOU GO BACK TO SLIDE 25? I THINK IT WAS. SO I HAVE TRUST ISSUES. I SEE NOTES PROPERTY OWNERS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLATION. IT DOESN'T SAY FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. IT'S RESPONSIBLE, WHICH MEANS YOU CAN FULFILL THIS OBLIGATION BY FINDING A WAY TO MAKE THE CITY PAY FOR IT. IS THAT ACCURATE, OR DO WE HAVE A WAY TO MAKE SURE THIS IS FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, NOT JUST RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING IT DONE? RICHARD, THAT'S A QUESTION FOR ANYBODY TO ANSWER. RICHARD. CAN YOU. OKAY, HERE WE GO. BY VIRTUE OF THIS NOTE BEING ON HERE, THEN THAT CARRIES OVER. THEN, LIKE I SAID, TO THE NEXT PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS THE ENGINEERING SITE PLAN. SO THAT BECOMES THE RULE THAT HAS TO BE CARRIED OUT ON THE ENGINEERING SITE PLAN. SO THE COMMITMENT IS MADE HERE. IT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE ORDINANCE AND PART OF THE OVERALL PD. SO THAT BECOMES A ZONING REGULATION AND IS ENFORCEABLE BY STAFF AS THE DEVELOPER GOES THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, INCLUDING FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY, NOT JUST MAKING SURE IT GETS DONE, BUT PAYING FOR IT AS WELL. WE CAN MASSAGE THAT LANGUAGE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR. THANK YOU. AND I HAD ONE ONE MORE ITEM ON HERE WHICH I MAY NEED YOU ON

[01:25:04]

NO I'M GOOD OKAY. I MEAN, CONSIDERING THAT WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO PUT THIS TO THE NEXT, CARRY THIS OVER TO THE NEXT MEETING, AND. I'VE BEEN, LIKE IN CASTLE HILLS MODE ALL DAY. I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE TALKED TO ANY OF YOU OUT THERE, BUT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATION. BUT I THINK IT WOULD BEHOOVE EVERYONE TO GET INTO THE CITY WEBSITE WHEN IT COMES TO OUR AGENDAS. CITY OF LEWISVILLE.COM. GO TO CITY HALL TAB, HIT AGENDAS TAB. BOOM.

THERE IT IS. WITH THE DATE OF THE CITY HALL MEETING. ANYTHING IN BLUE YOU CAN CLICK ON. YOU GET EVERY BIT OF THIS EVERY BIT OF IT. IT CUTS OUT MISINFORMATION. IT HELPS TO UNDERSTAND. AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING IN THERE THAT YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OVER CALL. WE ARE SO EASY TO GET AHOLD OF ANY OF US OR RICHARD OR OUR CITY. OUR CITY MANAGER LOVES TO TALK TO Y'ALL.

SO. BUT JUST TO SAY THAT EVERY LITTLE BITTY MEMO IN ALL THE BACKUP THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE TODAY IS IN THAT, AND THAT SAVES SOME MISUNDERSTANDING WHEN. WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF INFORMATION REGARDING ONE ITEM ON THIS LOT, HOWEVER. THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE, AND WE CAN'T ACT ON THAT. WE HAVE TO ACT ON WHAT'S BEFORE US LEGALLY. SO IN TWO WEEKS, WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER MEETING. AND ON A FRIDAY BEFORE THAT MEETING, ALL OF THE STUFF IS GOING TO BE ONLINE. SO THE FRIDAY BEFORE THE MEETING, IT IS POSTED, I IMPLORE YOU TO PULL IT UP AND TO LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON. EVERY BIT OF IT WILL BE ON THERE. THANK YOU. COUNCILWOMAN, ANY OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO INTO OPEN, OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ALL RIGHT. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. I'M GOING TO READ SOME. THERE IS A LOT UP HERE GUYS. SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE ORGANIZED HERE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU CITY SECRETARY FOR HELPING ORGANIZE THIS. SO WE HAVE I'M GOING TO START OFF WITH READING E COMMENTS. WE RECEIVED A HANDFUL. I'M GOING TO READ THESE IN THEIR ENTIRETY AS SUBMITTED. SO WE HAVE MICHELLE NELSON COMMENT NO. FIVE STORY BUILDING IN THIS LOCATION. WE HAVE FROM JULIE LEWIS. WE LIVE IN THE LAST HOUSE ON THE EAST END OF 100 KNIGHTS DRIVE IN THE RESERVE. NEVER DID WE IMAGINE THAT LIVING ON AN EXCLUSIVE GOLF COURSE IN A QUIET AND PRIVATE AREA OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD WALK OUT TO THE FRONT DOOR TO A FIVE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING TOWERING OVER OUR HOME. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, AND IT'S DISAPPOINTING THAT THE RESIDENTS WEREN'T CONSIDERED AT ALL. WE STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS BUILDING FROM JOYCE LANDRY. I AM OPPOSED TO A FIVE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING THAT I WOULD STARE AT FROM MY FRONT PORCH. IN THE 14 YEARS I HAVE LIVED AND BEEN LIVING IN THIS ADDRESS AND CASTLES COMMUNITY, I WAS NEVER AWARE OF ANYONE PLANNING A FIVE STORY BUILDING IN THIS LOCATION. SINGLE LEVEL RETAIL IS UNDERSTANDABLE. FROM THOMAS ROCHE. THE PROPOSED FIVE STORY BUILDING IS COMPLETELY OUT OF PLACE IN THIS LOCATION AND IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EXISTING HOMES. THE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED WELL AFTER HOMES WERE CONSTRUCTED. DEVELOPERS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO MEET WITH RESIDENTS IMPACTED SOUTH OF PARKER ROAD TO HEAR OUR CONCERNS. THE DESCRIBED MEETING INVITATION WAS NEVER RECEIVED BY ANY RESIDENTS OF THE IMPACTED RESERVE COMMUNITY. MELANIE BLACK WE ARE TOTALLY OPPOSED TO MULTI-STORY BUILDING IN THIS LOCATION. IT NOT ONLY DECREASES THE PROPERTY VALUE OF THE RESERVE, IT WILL BE JUST PAST THE OVERPASS WILL BE DANGEROUSLY IMPACT TRAFFIC FLOW.

PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT THAT LOCATION WILL BE A BLIND SPOT. WE DO NOT THINK ADDING A TRAFFIC LIGHT IS A GOOD SOLUTION. KEVIN CORDNER I OPPOSE THIS DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONE THE PROJECTS TOO CLOSE TO THE 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN LISTED ON THE PROPOSED DRAWING. TWO THERE'S INSUFFICIENT ROOM FOR ANY TYPE OF RETENTION AREA TO STOP CONTAMINATION TO INDIAN

HE IS IN SUPPORT. WE HAVE JUST BIRCH. BIRCH. MICHAEL I'M SORRY, JUSTIN, IF YOU WERE HERE, IF YOU CAN CLARIFY YOUR LAST NAME FOR ME, APPRECIATE IT. BIRCH MEYER, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

FOR ONE GRAIL CASTLE. LEWISVILLE, TEXAS. IN OPPOSITION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY. PLEASE COME UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, JUSTIN BIRCH, 401 GRAIL CASTLE. SO, UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I JUST MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE

[01:35:05]

EVERYBODY WAS AGAINST IT. CAME BACK IN FEBRUARY AND UNFORTUNATELY THE RESIDENTS OF THE RESERVE WERE NOT INFORMED. AGREED. BUT MR. STANLEY MADE A COMMENT IN OUR IN THE FEBRUARY MEETING THAT WE SENT IT OUT TO ABOUT 600 RESIDENTS, CORRECT? 600 RESIDENTS. BUT THAT WAS EVERYBODY TO THE REALM, EVERYBODY TO THE NORTH THAT REALLY THIS DOESN'T AFFECT AS MUCH AS IT DOES THE RESERVE. OKAY, THEN MR. STANLEY STANDS HERE IN FEBRUARY AND TELLS US THAT, WELL, YOU LIVE IN A PRIVATE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE DIDN'T KNOW EVERYBODY'S ADDRESS, SO WE ONLY SENT IT TO THE HOA. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. CORRECT. I SET UP HERE IN FEBRUARY. I SAID, MR. STANLEY, TODAY'S DAY AND AGE, WE HAVE THE INTERNET. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE INTERNET, BUT WE ALL HAVE THE INTERNET. I CAN FIND EVERYBODY'S ADDRESS IN THIS ROOM. SO TO ME.

TO PLAY THAT CHEAP GAME, THAT'S UNCALLED FOR. YOU COULD HAVE YOU COULD HAVE REACHED OUT TO ALL.

I'M SORRY. PLEASE ADDRESS THE COMMENTS TO THE MAYOR. MAYOR PRO TEM, PLEASE. THANK YOU. SORRY.

NO, NO I UNDERSTAND, THANK YOU. YEAH. THEN IT WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE MEETING ALSO THAT. WELL, WE I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S 40 ACRES OR WHATEVER. WE PUT THE TAPESTRY UP IN THE REALM. WELL, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDING ON TO IT. OKAY, GO UP THERE. GO AWAY FROM US TO. YOU. GOT THREE AND A HALF ACRES HERE. I UNDERSTAND IT'S YOUR PROPERTY. IT'S YOUR PROPERTY. BUT, MAN, THINK OF THE RESIDENTS. THINK OF THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE OVER HERE IN THIS CUL DE SAC. THE RESERVE WAS NOT NOTIFIED. SENT OUT 600 ENVELOPES, BUT NONE OF THEM TO US RESIDENTS. WE SAID WE NOTIFIED THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY BECAUSE THEY WERE LOOKING FOR THE EASY WAY OUT. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH US KNOWING IT WAS SHUT DOWN IN AUGUST, AND YOU HAD A LOT OF RESIDENTS PRESENT BACK IN AUGUST. AGAIN, I WAS NOT PART OF THAT, BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD WE HAD A PACKED ROOM, SO WE WANTED TO BYPASS EVERYONE, AND THAT'S WHY WE SENT IT TO THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY. IF YOU ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY, YOU WOULD HAVE TRIED TO SIT DOWN WITH US AND TALK TO US TO SEE WHAT COULD BE WORKED OUT AND WHERE EVERYONE COULD POTENTIALLY AGREE TO. YOU KNEW IT WOULDN'T BE PASSED. SO YOU WANTED TO BYPASS EVERYONE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. SADLY, YOUR OWNERS ARE. YOUR OWNERS OF THE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY ARE ALSO OUT TELLING PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THIS IS ALREADY A DONE DEAL. WELL, IF THIS IS A DONE DEAL, WHY ARE WE HERE TODAY? BUT SHAME ON YOU FOR OWNERSHIP. TELLING THE RESIDENTS THIS IS A GO. ONCE AGAIN, IN MY OPINION, THIS CERTAINLY SOUNDS LIKE A LACK OF ETHICAL BUSINESS GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE. WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT CASTLE HILLS WITH A BRIGHT FAMILY THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. BUT YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T CONTROL EVERYTHING, OF COURSE, AS RESIDENTS. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP IN FRONT OF THE CITY TWO TIMES TO ONLY BE SHOT DOWN. AND ON THE SECOND ROUND YOU EVEN ADMITTED HE DIDN'T CHANGE MUCH. AS FAR AS DEVELOPERS AND DESIGNERS FROM MCADAMS. BUT YOU TOLD US WE WERE GOING TO CHANGE THINGS. SO WHICH ONE IS IT? SEEMS LIKE WE JUST GO AROUND AND MAKE UP THE RULES AS WE GO, KIND OF LIKE THEY'RE DOING WITH WITH BOOT PARK IN THE RESERVE MIGHT

[01:40:09]

UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO THAT, SO I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. CITY SECRETARY. I JUST NOTICED I HAVE THREE CARDS OVER HERE THAT SAY BLUE CARD ON THEM. IS THAT BECAUSE WE RAN OUT OF BLUE CARDS? THESE ARE. OKAY, SO LET ME READ THESE OFF TO YOU. SO WE ALSO HAVE COREY JOHNSON AN OPPOSITION. WE HAVE SCOTT JOHNSON IN OPPOSITION. AND WE HAVE CAROL HUMMER IN OPPOSITION. THANK YOU. SO NEXT WE HAVE A SERIES OF CARDS HERE I WILL CALL IN IN ORDER. WE HAVE YOU GUYS MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT WE HAVE BROKEN A LITTLE TRADITION HERE. WE ARE ALLOWING I THINK EIGHT MINUTES, TWO MINUTES FOR SPEAKING TODAY. IS THAT RIGHT. THAT'S YOUR DECISION? YEP. WE'LL GO, WE'LL GO, WE'LL GO EIGHT AND SEE IF WE NEED MORE. SO I'M GOING TO CALL PLEASE AGAIN. TOM. TOM ROCKS. ROCHE. WANT TO PUT THESE ON. MAYBE I CAN GET THE NAMES BETTER. THERE WE GO. TOM ROCHE, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND FULL ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. YES. THOMAS ROCHE, 28, 1200 KNIGHTS DRIVE. THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM AND CITY COUNCIL FOR THE TIME TONIGHT. MR. LUEDKE NOW SAYS THAT THE MAIN THING IN THIS PROPOSAL IS ABOUT THE DRIVEWAY. NOW, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE FIVE STORY BUILDING. THE MAIN THING FOR US RESIDENTS CERTAINLY IS AND CONTINUES TO BE THE MAJOR CHANGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

FROM SMALL, SEPARATE RETAIL PADS TO A 60 FOOT TALL, FIVE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING. JUST TO NOTE, ON MAY 5TH, THAT'S TWO WEEKS AGO. THE STAFF MEMO TO HIS CREDIT, AUTHORIZED BY MR. LUEDKE, SEEMED ACCURATE AND CLEAR. I'LL QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM THAT. THE PROPOSED CHANGES CONSTITUTE A MAJOR MODIFICATION BECAUSE THE PROPOSAL PROPOSED PROJECT REMOVES BUILDINGS AND CHANGES SITE CIRCULATION. THE THREE PRIOR PUBLIC MEETINGS WERE CLEAR THAT THE MAIN THING IS THE CHANGE IN BUILDINGS AS WELL. SO. SO TONIGHT I KNOW WE'VE CHANGED SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS TO MODIFY THAT. SO OKAY, LET'S MOVE ON. JOYCE, MY WIFE AND I AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE MADE SHORTLY BY THE REST OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND THE COMMENTS JUST MADE BY BY JUSTIN. WE DO NOT OPPOSE DEVELOPMENT ON THIS LOT.

NO OBJECTIONS TO SOMETHING MORE AKIN TO THE ORIGINAL MULTI PAD CONCEPT, NOT THIS INTRUSIVE MAJOR CHANGE THAT WILL RISE 64FT ABOVE THE LEVEL OF OUR FRONT PORCH AND DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT.

SO. YOU HAVE COPIES OF SOME PICTURES THAT WE PASSED OUT AHEAD OF TIME THAT I'LL BE REFERRING TO. NOW I WANT TO START WITH SLIDE TWO. THE ISSUES I WILL DESCRIBE ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AND HAPPENED PRIOR TO ANNEXATION FROM 2008 TO 2020. SO THIS COUNCIL MAY HAVE VERY LITTLE AWARENESS OF THEM. AND THIS WAS SUBMITTED VIA E! COMMENT BACK IN AUGUST AS WELL.

SO IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS COME UP, BUT THIS IS ABOUT THE SOIL. MULTIPLE MAJOR WATER RELATED SOIL COLLAPSES HAVE HAPPENED WITHIN 400FT OF THIS PROPOSED BUILD SITE. WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR ALL OF THEM. SO SIMILAR FAILURES COULD MAKE A FIVE STORY BUILD UNINHABITABLE AND A RAIL LINE UNUSABLE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. GIVEN THIS HISTORY OF FAILURES, THE IDEA OF

[01:45:06]

PARKER ROAD IS SHOWN AT THE TOP OF THAT PHOTO. SLIDE TWO. WE HAVE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CLEARLY MARKED. YOU HAVE THE EXISTING RAIL LINE. YOU HAVE THE 109TH DRIVE CUL DE SAC, AND ALL THE YELLOW ARROWS INDICATE THE FAILURES THAT HAVE OCCURRED OVER A SERIES OF YEARS. AND AGAIN, THESE ARE ALL 400FT FROM THE PROPOSED BUILD SITE. THERE'S BEEN THREE LANDSLIDES, THREE COLLAPSED WALLS, TWO FOUNDATION ISSUES, LEARNED OF A THIRD FOUNDATION ISSUE. JUST YESTERDAY A RAIL LINE SINK AS WELL. SLIDE THREE. LANDSLIDE NUMBER THREE IS THE MOST RECENT THAT HAPPENED IN JUNE OF 2020. 2 MILLION POUNDS OF SOIL SLID DOWN WHILE DAMAGING THREE HOMES. SLIDE FOUR SHOWS OUR HOME. OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOME WAS SIMILAR. SLIDE FIVE UNDERGROUND WATER FLOWS WERE FOUND DURING THE REBUILD. UNDERGROUND WATER FLOW. MANY OF THE 74 PEER DRILLINGS TO STABILIZE THE HILL ALSO HIT WATER. SLIDE NUMBER SIX DURING A CASTLE HILLS WATER DISTRICT MEETING IN SEPTEMBER 2020. WHILE DISCUSSING THIS LANDSLIDE, WE HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT AN EARLIER LANDSLIDE THAT HAPPENED BACK IN 2008 THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNAWARE OF.

THIS WAS DIRECTLY FROM A FORMER BRIGHT DEVELOPMENT EMPLOYEE. THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM THE AUDIO RECORDING OF THAT MEETING. WHEN I BUILT THE SLOPE, IT FAILED. IT FAILED BEFORE ANY HOMES WERE BUILT OR LOTS WERE SOLD. THERE WAS A DISCUSSION WITH THE DEVELOPER THAT THESE LOTS SHOULD NOT BE SOLD, AND HOMES SHOULD NOT BE PUT ON THESE LOTS. THE SOIL WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE DEVELOPER SOLD THE LOTS, HOMES WERE BUILT, NO STRUCTURAL WALLS WERE INCLUDED, NO WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM WAS INCLUDED. NO STABILIZING PIERS WERE PUT INTO THE HILL. SLIDE SEVEN. IT TOOK 12 YEARS, BUT FINALLY A PROPER SOIL EVALUATION WAS DONE AND A STRUCTURAL DESIGN COMPLETED. MY ASK OF COUNCIL IS TO NOT EVER ALLOW A FIVE STORY BUILDING ON THIS SOIL. ANY BUILD OF THIS KIND SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT SOIL STABILIZATION WORK DONE BY THE DEVELOPER AT THE START, NOT AFTER YEARS AND A SERIES OF PREDICTABLE FAILURES. PLEASE DO NOT LET 60 FAMILIES AND MULTIPLE BUSINESSES EXPERIENCE WHAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED JUST 400FT AWAY. OUR CITY DESERVES DEVELOPERS THAT DO THE RIGHT THINGS IN THE RIGHT WAY. COULD THIS PROJECT BE DONE? CERTAINLY, YES. WE'VE ALL SEEN IT DRAWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER. COULD BE DONE. SHOULD IT BE DONE? ABSOLUTELY NOT. CERTAINLY NOT IN THE OPINION OF THE RESIDENTS. WILL IT BE DONE? WELL, THAT'S UP TO YOU. YOU GET A VOTE SO YOU CAN SAY NO. OKAY. WE APPRECIATE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES THAT ARE NOW IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT CASTLE HILLS DEVELOPMENT IS DONE IN A RESPONSIBLE AND TRANSPARENT WAY. I HAVE JUST ONE MORE POINT THAT I WANT TO MAKE. AS I CONCLUDE THE ON MAY 5TH, TWO WEEKS AGO, IN THIS VERY ROOM, MR. STANLEY SAT EXACTLY WHERE HE'S SITTING NOW, AND HE REQUESTED AND RECEIVED A TWO WEEK DELAY TO PREPARE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL. I DECIDED AT THAT POINT I'D WAIT ON MY COMMENTS UNTIL TONIGHT.

NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER DELAY. I'M GOING TO GIVE MY COMMENTS TONIGHT, AND I'M GOING TO BE BACK IN TWO WEEKS AND GIVE THEM AGAIN. OKAY. THAT NIGHT, AS YOU RECALL, A LOT OF RESIDENTS FROM THE SOUTH OF PARKER RESERVE COMMUNITY ATTENDED, JUST LIKE WE HAVE THIS FULL ROOM TONIGHT.

OKAY. PRETTY MUCH UNANIMOUS OPPOSITION TO THE INITIATIVE. THREE OF THESE RESIDENTS SPOKE AND ACCURATELY ASSURED THE COUNCIL THAT NO ONE IN THE RESERVE COMMUNITY EVER GOT AN INVITATION TO THIS FEBRUARY 5TH COMMUNITY MEETING THAT THE NORTH OF PARKER RESIDENTS ATTENDED. WE HAD NO NO INKLING OF A MEETING. IT'S INTERESTING, THOUGH, BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT TWO WEEKS AGO AND HE KNEW THE SIZE OF THE OPPOSITION IN THE ROOM, BUT SINCE THEN, NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO TALK WITH US TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IN THE WORLD WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS, THAT TIME COULD HAVE DONE THAT. NO, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I WOULD, I WOULD HAVE, IN ADDITION TO EVERYTHING ELSE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ON THIS, IS WHERE'S THE PARK? IN THIS DEVELOPMENT? WHERE'S THE PARK? IT'S NOT THERE. IT'S CERTAINLY NOT ON THE GROUNDS IN THIS LOT. I KNOW THE CITY OF INITIATIVE HAS A PARK OR CITY OF LEWISVILLE HAS AN INITIATIVE

[01:50:05]

WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PLAY? WELL, HERE'S THEIR CHOICES. THEY'RE KIND OF LANDLOCKED. YOU GOT THE RAILROAD TRACKS. YOU WANT THE KIDS PLAYING DOWN ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS. ON THE BACK OF THE COMPLEX. YOU GOT A WALL BETWEEN THERE AND THE REST OF CASTLE HILL. SO THEY CAN'T CAN'T GO SOUTH INDIAN CREEKS TO THE EAST. DON'T WANT THEM PLAYING IN A FLOODPLAIN OR IN A CREEK THAT BECOMES A RAGING RIVER. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. OKAY, THAT LEAVES CROSSING PARKER ROAD TO FIND A PARK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PARKER. DO WE WANT CHILDREN LIVING IN THIS APARTMENT BUILDING GOING OUTSIDE TO PLAY, AND THEY GOT TO CROSS PARKER ROAD. I DON'T CARE, TRAFFIC LIGHT OR NOT, I WOULDN'T WANT MY KIDS OR GRANDKIDS DOING THAT.

SO. SO WE GOT TO THINK ABOUT THINK ABOUT THAT. SO IT'S A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN. SO LISTENING TO THE RESIDENTS ABOUT DEVELOPMENTS DIRECTLY IMPACTING THEM IS PERHAPS NOT A VERY HIGH PRIORITY FOR BRIGHT DEVELOPMENT. THEY WILL LIKELY HAVE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS BEFORE THIS VERY COUNCIL. SO AND THEY MAY NEED A LITTLE MORE COACHING NOW ABOUT HOW TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY. TRUST MATTERS AND IT'S EASILY LOST. AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TRUST LOST BY US.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. ROACH. ANY QUESTIONS, MR. ROACH? THANK YOU. I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU ACTUALLY. SO I'M TRYING TO BECAUSE I REMEMBER I WAS ACTUALLY ON THE ONE B WATER DISTRICT BOARD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ABSOLUTELY. I THINK I THINK I CAME TO YOUR HOUSE AND LOOKED. YES YOU DID SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SEEING HERE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS, FACING OUTWARDS FROM THAT LAND. THAT LANDSLIDE WAS THE GOLF COURSE. YES. THAT'S CORRECT. YES. IT'S ON THE BACK SIDE OF OUR HOUSE. OUR FRONT PORCH FACES THE DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY. SO WE HAD WE HAD PRIVATE LAND ON ONE SIDE. WE HAVE GOLF COURSE ON THE OTHER. DO YOU RECALL WHO WOUND UP PAYING FOR THAT REPAIR? BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S QUITE A STORY. YEAH, IT WAS IN THE END, IT WOUND UP BEING THE RESIDENTS OF CASTLE HILLS, BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE EASEMENT THAT WAS GRANTED AT SOME JUNCTURE. SO THIS IS THE QUESTION I'VE GOT FOR, FOR, FOR RICHARD AND STAFF IS THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS, WE DON'T HAVE TO SOMEHOW HAVE THE CITY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. THIS IS THIS IS A GREAT POINT. YOU KNOW, THE SOIL HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE UNSTABLE AND I HAVE CONCERNS THERE MAY BE SOME EASEMENT AND SOME DOCUMENTS SOMEWHERE THAT IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS DURING THE BUILDING, IT BECOMES A CITY PROBLEM TO FIX. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COVER ALL BASES ON THAT. PLEASE, BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE. ULTIMATELY, THE WAY IT TURNED OUT IS THE TAXPAYERS FOOTED THE MAJOR, MAJOR PORTION OF THE BILL AND CASTLE HILLS, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, THE HOA WILL BE BLAMED. THE RAILROAD WILL BE BLAMED BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION OR SOMETHING. SO THE FLOODPLAIN WILL BE BLAMED. CORPS OF ENGINEERS SHOULD PAY FOR IT. EVERYBODY WILL BE TO BLAME EXCEPT BRIGHT, TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY. AND ULTIMATELY HE'LL WANT TO USE TAXPAYER MONEY TO FIX THIS TOO. SO JUST BE AWARE. WE'VE SEEN IT ALL ONCE, OKAY? THANK YOU, MR. ROACH.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. OKAY, NEXT UP WE HAVE GEORGE SMILEY HERE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.

THANK YOU. MISS SMILEY, WILL YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, GEORGE SMILEY, 401 CROWN OF GOLD. THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM, FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT IN THE CITY COUNCIL. FIRST THING I'D LIKE TO DO IS HAVE EVERYBODY THAT IS A RESIDENT OF THE RESERVE NEIGHBORHOOD. PLEASE STAND UP. IT'S AN IMPRESSIVE SHOWING. THIS IS WE KEEP SHOWING UP AT THIS BECAUSE WE THAT WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS. AND THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION GOING ON AS FAR AS WHAT IS BEING PRESENTED AND WHAT'S NOT BEING PRESENTED. SO I'M GOING TO FOCUS A LOT ON THE AGENDA I DID REACH, GO TO THE WEBSITE AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE WEBSITE, BECAUSE THERE'S TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION OUT ON THAT WEBSITE. SO AS WE ALL KNOW, AT THE AUGUST 19TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING, WE MET TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THIS REQUEST HAS BEEN DENIED AT LEAST THREE TIMES SO FAR. PNC MEETING ON EIGHT SIX, THE COUNCIL MEETING ON 819, AND THE PNC MEETING AGAIN ON APRIL 15TH OF THIS YEAR. NOW, IT APPEARS IN

[01:55:03]

[02:00:02]

DURING THE ADOPTION OF THE ORIGINAL PD, IT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHAT WOULD BE BUILT ON THE PROPERTY. THE CONCEPT PLAN SHOWED EIGHT PAD SITES. THIS IS FROM HER MEMORANDUM, EACH CONTAINING A COMMERCIAL BUILDING. THE SITE HAS SEVERAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES, INCLUDING AN ODD SHAPE, A FLOODPLAIN GRADE, LIMITED ACCESS TO FM 544, LIMITED VISIBILITY, ADJACENCY TO RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY, AND UTILITY EASEMENTS. AGAIN, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DEVELOPER TO CLARIFY THIS ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN, BUT HE HAS NEVER STATED ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY. BUT NOW IN TONIGHT'S MEETING, WE ARE BEING TOLD OTHERWISE. IF YOU DRIVE EAST ON PARKER ROAD FROM 121 PAST ALL THE CASTLE HILLS DEVELOPMENTS, YOU WILL FIND MANY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, A SCHOOL, COMMUNITY CENTER AND SOME COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES THAT SIT ON EACH SIDE OF PARKER ROAD. NONE OF THESE BUILDINGS ARE MORE THAN TWO STORIES TALL, AND THEY DON'T TAKE AWAY THE PRIVACY FROM THEIR SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS. THIS LOT IS MUCH HIGHER IN ELEVATION THAN ANY OTHER BUILDINGS OR HOMES ON PARKER ROAD. A FIVE STORY BUILDING ON THIS SITE IS OUT OF CHARACTER FOR THIS AREA, AND IS JUST NOT APPROPRIATE GIVEN THE STYLE OF RESIDENTIAL THAT IT WILL SURROUND. WHAT IS MORE APPROPRIATE ARE 1 TO 2 STORY BUILDINGS THAT ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS. ANOTHER MATTER TO CONSIDER IS THE SIGHTLINES OF THE HOMES ACROSS PARKER ROAD THAT A FIVE STORY BUILDING WOULD IMPACT.

THEY WILL ALSO HAVE ALL THE PRIVACY ISSUES THAT WE WILL HAVE. THEY JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET. THEIR BACKYARDS BACK ONTO PARKER ROAD. WHILE THE DEVELOPER STATES THAT THE PROPOSED BUILDING IS 350FT FROM THE NEARBY SINGLE FAMILY STRUCTURES, WE ALL NEED TO BE AWARE THAT THE RAILROAD TRACK THAT SEPARATES THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND THE RESIDENTIAL AREA IS WELL BELOW GRADE. REMEMBER, PARKER ROAD WAS REROUTED AND BUILT UP TO GO OVER THE RAILROAD. SO NOW THAT LAND IS AT A MUCH HIGHER ELEVATION THAN WHAT IS AROUND IT, SO IT WILL STAND OUT AND FEEL LIKE IT IS WAY MORE THAN THE PROPOSED 60FT IN HEIGHT. ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACT TO BE AWARE OF IS THAT DURING THE APRIL PNC MEETING, I QUESTIONED THE PNC STAFF ABOUT ALL THE TRAFFIC STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED SO MANY TIMES IN THE AUGUST MEETINGS AND AGAIN IN THE APRIL MEETING. WHAT WE LEARNED WAS THE MOST RECENT STUDY WAS DONE IN 2014. THAT WAS 11 YEARS AGO, AND A LOT HAS CHANGED IN 11 YEARS. THIS CURRENT MEMORANDUM STATES THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS SUBMITTED A DRAFT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS TO PNC IN APRIL. FOLLOWING THAT PNC MEETING, AND THE TIA IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW. SO IF THIS WERE YOUR HOME THAT YOU PURCHASED YEARS AGO, WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN REFLECTING EIGHT SMALL BUILDINGS WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A POTENTIAL FIVE STORY BUILDING, AND NOW DEVELOPER WANTS TO PUT THIS STRUCTURE IN YOUR BACKYARD, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT IT? I WANT TO ALSO ASK, WHAT IS THE POINT OF A CONCEPT PLAN IF A DEVELOPER CAN CHANGE IT WHENEVER THEY WANT TO? THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY HAS NO PROTECTION, AND IN THIS CASE, UNLESS THE DEVELOPER CAN GET EVERYONE TO AGREE WITH THEIR PLAN. BUT IN THIS CASE, WE GREATLY OPPOSE THE FIVE STORY MIXED USE BUILDING. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT EACH OF YOU ARE CHARGED WITH DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A FIVE STORY BUILDING IS DEFINITELY NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN THIS MATTER. AND I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH A FEW THOUGHTS.

THIS THOUGHT I STOLE FROM MISS FRANCESCA WHALEY ON THE PNC COMMISSION. AS A ROTARIAN. SHE FOLLOWS THE ROTARY FOUR WAY TEST. IS IT TRUTHFUL? THE DEVELOPER HAS NOT BEEN FORTHCOMING WITH SO MANY ISSUES SURROUNDING THIS DEVELOPMENT, JUST LIKE THE 11 YEAR OLD TRAFFIC STUDY AND USING THAT TO MEET WITH THE RESIDENTS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PARKER ROAD TO CONVINCE EVERYONE THERE ARE NO ISSUES. IS IT FAIR TO ALL CONCERNED? NO. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PURCHASED YOUR HOME, ALL YOU HAD TO LOOK AT IF YOU WERE CONCERNED WITH THE POSSIBLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, WAS A CONCEPT PLAN THAT EVERYONE HAS DEEMED. IT CONSISTED OF EIGHT GARDEN STYLE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. AS. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO WRAP UP, PLEASE.

YEAH. DOES IT PROVIDE GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? NOT FOR THE HOMEOWNERS, ONLY FOR THE DEVELOPER. IS IT BENEFICIAL TO ALL CONCERNED? NO, ONLY TO THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, FOR ME, JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS SMILEY? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE THAT OKAY. NEXT WE HAVE MISS PATTY HOFF. YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION, I BELIEVE. CORRECT. WOULD YOU PLEASE APPROACH AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS PATTY HOFF. I LIVE AT 2733 109TH DRIVE IN LOUISVILLE. I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN

[02:05:07]

SO IN ORDER TO RESPECT EVERYONE'S TIME, IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD LIKE TO YIELD MY TIME TO RICK VIDAL. MY CONCERNS ARE MAINLY FOR SAFETY, FOR PROPERTY VALUES, FOR TRUST ISSUES THAT WE HAVE WITH THE DEVELOPER, AND FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID, ESTHETICS AND SO FORTH. SO I WOULD LIKE TO, IF I POSSIBLY CAN, YIELD ANY TIME THAT I HAVE REMAINING TO, TO RICK SHOULD HE NEED IT. SO YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT REQUIRED TO SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE TEN MINUTES, BUT WE CAN'T HAVE SOMEBODY SPEAK FOR 19 MINUTES. SO TEN MINUTES IS WHAT WE HAVE FOR MR. VIDAL TO SPEAK.

OKAY. OKAY, SO I WILL I WILL SAY THAT MY CONCERNS JUST MIMIC THAT OF, OF EVERYONE THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN COMMENTS FOR ON THE WEBSITE AND WHATEVER ELSE HAS BEEN SAID. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I APPRECIATE IT. SO WE HAVE MR. RICK BEADLE, IF YOU PLEASE APPROACH. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. GOOD EVENING. IT'S RICK VIDAL, 2801 100 KNIGHTS DRIVE. MR. MAYOR, PRO TEM AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR LETTING US SPEAK TONIGHT. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A LOT OF OPPOSITION HERE, AND IT IS VERY MUCH UNANIMOUS AMONG THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN WITH A FEW ITEMS IN THE STAFF MEMORANDUM THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. THE FIRST, AND I QUOTE A PREVIOUS REQUEST SIMILAR TO THIS WAS MADE IN 2020 FOR CITY COUNCIL DENIED FIVE ZERO THE PREVIOUS CONCEPT PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE 3.459 ACRE AREA SOUTH OF PARKER ROAD. FM 544 ON AUGUST 19TH, 2024. SINCE THAT DENIAL, THE APPLICANT HAS MET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND PROVIDED SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT. THAT IS A FALSE STATEMENT. NO ONE THAT'S IN THIS ROOM TONIGHT HAS HEARD DIDDLY ABOUT A MEETING WITH THE DEVELOPER. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT SINCE AUGUST OF LAST YEAR. WE WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A MEETING BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY ITEMS, THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED THAT ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED. AND, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY THING THAT WE CAN DO IS VOICE OUR CONCERNS TO THE DEVELOPER. THE SECOND, AND AGAIN, I QUOTE THE CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE SOUTHERN SUBAREA OF THE REALM SUBDIVISION IS BEING AMENDED IN ITS ENTIRETY PER ORDINANCE NUMBER, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, AND NOTICES WERE SENT OUT ACCORDINGLY. THE PLANNING DIRECTOR HAS SOMEWHAT ADDRESSED THIS, BUT THAT'S JUST SOME HOOEY. THE THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR NOT INCLUDING THE SOUTH SIDE OF PARKER ROAD IN NOTICES. WE ARE THE ONES IN THE SHADOW OF THIS BUILDING, AND IF WE HADN'T BEEN HAD OUR RADAR UP TO NOTICE THE SIGN THAT WENT UP ON THE PARKER ROAD, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT. WE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT. LET ME SEE HERE. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SOUTHERN SUBAREA OF THE REALM. SOME SUBDISTRICT THIS. AND I'M GLAD THIS SLIDE IS STILL UP, BECAUSE THE YELLOW OUTLINE IS THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION. THE TREE LINE YOU SEE RUNNING THROUGH THAT, THAT WAS THE EDGE OF PARKER ROAD PRIOR TO IT BEING REALIGNED IN 2018. THIS PROPERTY DIDN'T EXIST PRIOR TO 2018, YET IT'S BEING INCLUDED IN THE REALM SUBDISTRICT. AT THE TIME OF THIS PROPERTY CEASED TO BE PART OF AT AT THAT TIME WHEN THEY REALIGNED IT, THIS PROPERTY CEASED TO BE PART OF THE REALM AND WAS PHYSICALLY DIVORCED FROM THE REALM BY A SIX LANE DIVIDED THOROUGHFARE. I ARGUED THIS PROPERTY SHOULD NO LONGER FALL UNDER THE REALM DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CASTLE HILLS PRIMARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN. THAT'S THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS NOW ADJOINING, AND IT'S RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IS NOT NEITHER COMPATIBLE NOR COHESIVE WITH THE EXISTING ZONING. THE OTHER ITEM IS MISS SMILEY ADDRESSED THIS VERY WELL IN THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS IS ONLY ABOUT TRAFFIC FLOW ON THIS PROPERTY. AND UP UNTIL NOW, THREE TIMES THE DEVELOPER HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT THIS. IF IT'S AN ERROR THAT IT NEVER WAS. EIGHT INDIVIDUAL PLOTS HERE ON THIS PROPERTY, AND THAT HE HAS FREE REIGN TO BUILD A FIVE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING HERE WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE APPROVAL. NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN,

[02:10:01]

ONLY TWO OF THEM ARE BUILT ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. AND ONE OF THEM, THE APARTMENTS, WERE THERE LONG BEFORE THE HOMES WERE. SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY A HOME, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GOT.

THE OTHER IS BEING BUILT CONCURRENTLY WITH THE HOMES. SO AGAIN, IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY A HOME, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE. THIS BRINGS UP THE OLD AIRPORT ANALOGY OF, YOU KNOW, IF YOU IF I BUY A HOME OR BUILD A HOME NEXT TO AN AIRPORT, I HAVE NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NOISE. BUT IF YOU WANT TO BUILD AN AIRPORT BY MY HOME, YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM ME.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. EVERYBODY'S ALREADY TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY'VE BEEN HERE FOR 12, 14 YEARS, AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A PLAN FOR THE EIGHT PADS, SINGLE STORY GARDEN, VARIETY, OFFICE BUILDINGS, OFFICE, RETAIL. THE SIGN OUT FRONT, THE FOR SALE SIGN SAYS FOR SALE RETAIL DOESN'T SAY FOR SALE FIVE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING, BUT THE REST OF THESE APARTMENT COMPLEXES ARE ALL BUILT ADJACENT TO A FREEWAY, A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, ANOTHER APARTMENT BUILDING, A MAJOR POWER LINE EASEMENT, OR A MAJOR DRAINAGE AREA. BOTH ARE NATURAL BARRIERS, AND NONE OF THEM ARE WEDGED INTO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

WITH THE CHALLENGES ALREADY NOTED, WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO SQUEEZE THIS BUILDING INTO THIS PLACE WHERE IT OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT BELONG? THE DAMAGE THAT WOULD BE DONE TO OUR COMMUNITY IS EXTENSIVE AND WE ARE PRIVATE, QUIET, PEACEFUL AND SAFE. GATED COMMUNITY WITH A 60 FOOT TALL, 60 UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING LOOMING OVER OUR HOMES. THE PRIVACY WE CHERISH WOULD BE LOST. 30 OF THOSE UNITS WILL BE LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO OUR YARDS, OUR GARAGES, OUR HOMES. THE OTHER 30 UNITS WILL HAVE THE SAME VIEW, BUT TO THE NORTH, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN OUR COMINGS AND GOINGS ARE THERE TO BE OBSERVED SEVEN BY 24. I'M GOING TO JUMP AHEAD HERE BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THIS, BUT THE TRAFFIC ON 544 IS ABSOLUTELY A CONCERN. I ALSO HAVE SOME PHOTOS THAT I WILL HAND TO YOU AS I STEP AWAY. THE LAST TWO SHOW THE DRIVEWAY VIEW ON 544. YOU. THE SIGHT LINE IS IMPOSSIBLE. THE OTHER ONE IS OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, 200FT PLUS FROM A FIVE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING. I'M SORRY. REAL QUICK, WE'LL PAUSE YOUR TIME FOR JUST A MOMENT. YEAH. MR. SECRETARY, CAN YOU GRAB THOSE, PLEASE, FOR US? I JUST I'LL TAKE THEM. SORRY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THESE ARE ALL THE SAME FOOTNOTES. THIS IS.

NO. THOSE ARE VIEWS IN EVERY DIRECTION FROM GROUND LEVEL STANDING WHERE THAT BUILDING WOULD BE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT? THOSE IN THE ONES THAT WERE SHOWN BY THE DEVELOPER ARE THAT THOSE WERE SHOT WITH A 35 MILLIMETER CAMERA, 50 MILLIMETER LENS. THAT BEST REPRESENTS THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE HUMAN EYE. SO THERE'S NO TRICKERY THERE, NO WIDE ANGLE LENS, WHICH MAKES

[02:15:05]

OF. MY NAME IS PHIL SMILEY. I LIVE AT 401 CROWN OF GOLD. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MAYOR PRO TEM KELLY, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK. I FEEL A LITTLE BIT LIKE A PREACHER ON A SUNDAY. WE'VE GONE THROUGH ALL THE MUSIC AND ALL THE FUN PART OF SUNDAY SERVICE. WE'VE GOT A COWBOY GAME KICKING OFF IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND WE GOT TO GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE. SO I'M, I MAY REPEAT A FEW THINGS THAT SOME OF THE SPEAKERS SAID, BUT I'M GOING TO GET THROUGH IT AS QUICKLY AS I CAN, SO BEAR WITH ME. ONE YEAR AGO, I WAS ELECTED TO SERVE ON THE RESERVE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION BOARD, AND JUST LAST MONTH WAS APPOINTED AS THE PRESIDENT. I HAVE LEARNED A TON AND SOME THINGS I'VE LEARNED. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. MY PURPOSE FOR SPEAKING TO YOU THIS EVENING IS TO VOICE A MAJOR FEELING OF THIS COMMUNITY, AND THAT IS ONE THAT WE HAVE OF DISTRUST.

DISTRUST IS DEFINED AS THE FEELING THAT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING CANNOT BE RELIED ON.

THE FIRST TIME THESE FEELINGS SURFACED FOR ME WAS DURING AND FOLLOWING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING LAST AUGUST. AND THAT MEETING MR. STANLEY, WHO REPRESENTED GRECO LAND LLC, ATTEMPTED TO SEPARATE HIMSELF FROM THE MANY TENTACLES OF THE BRIDE ORGANIZATION BY SAYING ALL I DO IS BUILD HOMES. WE ALL KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE. IF YOU REVIEW THE RECORDS OF THE TEXAS COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, I'LL TELL YOU THAT MR. STANLEY SERVES AS AN OFFICER OF MANY COMPANIES, SOME OF WHICH AFFECT ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS. ONE SUCH ORGANIZATION IS THE CASTLE HILLS MASTER ASSOCIATION, OR, AS I WILL CALL THEM, MOVING FORWARD. THIS MISLEADING STATEMENT WAS CALLED OUT BY MISS CADE IN THAT MEETING, AND WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT HER CALLING THAT OUT AND THAT AUGUST MEETING, YOU WERE MADE AWARE THAT OUR COMMUNITY KNEW NOTHING OF THE PROPOSED USAGE IN ZONING CHANGE. YOU DENIED THE DEVELOPER'S REQUEST BY A UNANIMOUS MARGIN.

YOU DIRECTED THE DEVELOPER TO MEET WITH THE RESIDENTS AND COME BACK WITH A WORKABLE SOLUTION FOR ALL PARTIES. HOPEFULLY YOU WATCHED THE APRIL 15TH PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING WHERE THIS EXACT ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED, AND IF YOU DID NOT LET ME BULLET POINT FOR YOU WHAT WAS SAID ONE.

[02:20:01]

WHEN ASKED BY THE PNC BOARD, MR. STANLEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE RESIDENTS NORTH OF PARKER WERE NOTIFIED BY MAIL INDIVIDUALLY. BUT THE RESIDENTS, THOSE OF US THAT LIVE SOUTH OF PARKER ROAD, WERE NOT. MR. STANLEY STATED THAT BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A GATED COMMUNITY AND BECAUSE WE ARE, WE'RE TREATED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. MR. STANLEY STATED THAT NOT ONLY THAT, THEY ONLY SENT OUT A NOTICE TO THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FIRM. THAT'S BEEN SAID TONIGHT. OUR BOARD AND OUR PROPERTY MANAGER, PERSONALLY, OUR MANAGER THAT WORKS WITH US, KNOW NOTHING OF THIS. THAT EVENING I ASKED AND WAS GRANTED THE ABILITY TO SPEAK TO THE BOARD, AND I TOLD THEM WHAT I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU. THE RESIDENTS NORTH OF PARKER GET THEIR MAIL DELIVERED FROM THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE TO THE CASTLE HILLS MAIL CENTER. THE MAIL CENTER THEN DELIVERS THE MAIL DOOR TO DOOR TO THE INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS HOME. THE RESERVE RESIDENTS. THOSE OF US SOUTH OF PARKER GET OUR MAIL DELIVERED FROM THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. IT IS DELIVERED TO THE CASTLE'S MAIL CENTER. THE CASTLE'S MAIL CENTER THEN DELIVERS THE MAIL DOOR TO DOOR TO OUR INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS HOMES. THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE. LASTLY, REGARDING THE GATE TO OUR COMMUNITY, THE CASTLE HILLS MAIL SERVICE HAS FULL GATE ACCESS, JUST AS THEY DO TO OTHER COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE CASTLE HILLS COMMUNITY. ALSO, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, A DEVELOPER IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE PROPER NOTICE TO HOMEOWNERS, NOT AN HOA OR NOT AN HOA MANAGEMENT COMPANY. AND LIKE JUSTIN SAID, THERE IS A WAYS TO GET TO US. HE KNOWS WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE. I MEAN, Y'ALL KNOW HOW TO GET TO US. LASTLY, MY FINAL EXAMPLE OF DISTRUST THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE AND ARE STILL EXPERIENCING IS WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THEIR BUSINESS UNIT, OF WHICH MR. STANLEY IS AN OFFICER. MR. MAYOR PRO TEM, MAY I GIVE YOU SOME SMALL INFORMATION PACKETS? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF YOU COULD DISTRIBUTE TO ALL THE COUNCIL. I'M GOING TO HOLD THAT ONE FOR MYSELF. PLEASE GIVE ME THE WHOLE STACK. I'LL PASS THEM OVER. THANK YOU. WHAT I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THIS WILL BE REFERENCING SOME OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU'RE GETTING.

HAS THE LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PRESERVE OR IMPROVE LOT 16 X BLOCK A WITHIN THE RESERVE COMMUNITY, THIS LOT AND BLOCK IS KNOWN AS THE RESERVE LAKE PARK OR BOOT PARK BY THE RESIDENTS OF CASTLE HILLS. LET ME SHARE WITH YOU A COUPLE OF KEY FACTS. IN AUGUST OF 2007, THE RESERVE WAS BORN. OUR RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS WERE EXECUTED BY THE DEVELOPER AND RECORDED WITH DENTON COUNTY.

THE PARK WAS PROMOTED AND SOLD BY THE DEVELOPER AS AN AMENITY TO OUR COMMUNITY. ALSO NOTE THAT LOTS BACKING UP TO THE PARK WERE SOLD AS PREMIUM LOTS, AND THEY WERE PRICED ACCORDINGLY. FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS, SEVEN HAS MAINTAINED THE PARK AS REQUIRED BY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. SO THEN YOU SAY, WHAT'S THE ISSUE? WELL, THE ISSUE BEGAN IN 2000. 2024 CASTLE'S ANNUAL MEETING.

MR. STANLEY ANNOUNCED THAT PARK WILL NOW BECOME A NO MO ZONE OR WMA, WILL DEED THE LAND TO THE RESERVE FOR THE RESIDENTS TO MAINTAIN AS THEY WISH, WHICH THEY LEGALLY CANNOT DO. ALSO, PER THE MEETING MINUTES, MR. STANLEY ALLUDED TO ASKING STACEY ANAYA IN PARKS AND RECREATION FOR HER HELP WITH A NO MOW ZONE. SINCE THAT ANNUAL MASTER HOA MEETING, I ATTENDED A MEETING WITH MISS ANAYA AND LEARNED ONE. PREPARATIONS WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE A PROPER NO MOW ZONE TWO THAT SHE WAS NOT. SHE'S NOT BEEN ASKED, NOR DOES SHE HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE TO IMPLEMENT A PROPER NO ZONE. SINCE THE MASTER HOA MEETING, ALL SUBSEQUENT COMMUNICATIONS FROM CASTLE HILLS MASTER, INCLUDING A MEETING WITH ERIC STANLEY DIRECTLY, DIRECTLY HAVE FOCUSED ON TWO KEY THEMES ONE. I'M NOT PUTTING ANOTHER DOLLAR INTO BOOT PARK OR TWO IS GOING TO LET THE PARK GO, WHICH IS A FLOODPLAIN. GO NATIVE. DON'T LET THE FLOODPLAIN COMMENT DISTRACT YOU, BECAUSE PARTS OF THE GOLF COURSE THAT THE DEVELOPER CENTERED THE WHOLE CASTLE HILLS DEVELOPMENT AROUND IS IN A FLOODPLAIN. I HAVE A COMMENT IN WRITING. I HAVE THIS COMMENT IN WRITING IN CASE YOU WANT TO SEE IT. RIGHT? SO I ACTUALLY HAVE IT IN WRITING. I CAN GET IT TO YOU IF I NEED TO. ON APRIL 21ST OF THIS YEAR, AFTER RESIDENTS COMPLAINED, THE CITY CODE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT SENT A FIRST NOTICE TO. A SECOND NOTICE WAS SENT EARLY LAST WEEK AND PREDICTABLY, LAST WEDNESDAY, JUST IN TIME FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING, THEY COMPLETED A PARTIAL MOW ABOUT PARK, NOWHERE NEAR WHAT YOU WOULD CALL PRESERVE OR IMPROVE, BUT ENOUGH.

IF YOU WERE TO DRIVE BY, YOU THINK, OH, IT'S MOW. I PROVIDED YOU WITH PICTURES OF BEFORE AND AFTER WEDNESDAY'S MOW. MR. STANLEY, REPRESENTING THE DEVELOPER, HAS SAID AND MAY VERY WELL TELL YOU AGAIN THAT THEY ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT FAIR FOR ALL RESIDENTS TO PAY

[02:25:04]

IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT, LIKE TOM ROCHE ALLUDED TO AND STUFF, IT'S ABOUT THE LIABILITY AND THE CITY IS NOW EXPERIENCING WITH RETAINING WHAT THE CITY IS NOW EXPERIENCING IN CASTLE HILLS IS RETAINING WALL FAILURES AND AS WELL AS YOU. AND OF COURSE, YOU SAW TOM'S PRESENTATION. IN MY OPINION, IT'S ALL ABOUT FUTURE LIABILITY. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, HOPEFULLY YOU GET THE GIST, IS WHY OUR RESIDENTS DISTRUST, DISTRUST THIS DEVELOPER. OUR COMMUNITY IS TIRED AND WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT TO HOLD THE BULLY ACCOUNTABLE, TO DO WHAT THEY COMMIT AND ARE OBLIGATED TO DO. COUNCIL, I ASK YOU IF THIS IS A TRUSTFUL ORGANIZATION THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR. SMILEY. THANK YOU. SO THERE WERE A LOT OF CARDS UP HERE. DID I MISS ANYBODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION? EVERYBODY HAS SPOKEN. DID I MISS ANYBODY WHO WANTED TO RECORD A NOTE OF OPPOSITION? OKAY. PER PROTOCOL, MR. STANLEY, YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO REBUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO OR HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE REBUT ANYTHING THAT WAS SAID HERE. OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? OKAY.
