Jul 21, 2025 City Council

[00:00:01]

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO THE LEWISVILLE CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP SESSION, 06:15 P.M..

[Workshop Session - 6:15 P.M. ]

FIRST UP, WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. SO FIRST OFF WE HAVE AN INVOCATION WITH COUNCIL MEMBER KELLY.

AND WE HAVE THE PLEDGE OF FLAGS FOR MAYOR PRO TEM RONNI CADE.

ITEM C1 PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

THIS IS FOR THE 572 RICHMOND STREET LOCATION.

ITEM C2 PUBLIC HEARING AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR A COMMUNICATIONS ANTENNA ON OR NEAR I-35.

REAL QUICK ABOUT THAT ONE. SO IT'S JUST OVER 25FT IS THAT IS GOING TO BE 100FT.

1000FT. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I MISS? WHAT THEIR HEIGHT WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE IN THAT? BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE TOTALING 100 AND 505FT.

AND AS I GIVE PEOPLE BY RIGHT NOW, THEY CAN MAKE IT 200FT IF THEY WANT TO DO THAT, TO COME BACK TO COUNCILWOMAN BACK AGAIN.

I BELIEVE IT'S A MINUTE, BUT, MR. MICHELLE, WHAT IS THE LIMIT? SO THE WAY IT'S A 95 FOOT TALL POLE WITH A TEN FOOT LIGHTNING ROD ON TOP, THE ANTENNA IS ACTUALLY MOUNTED SLIGHTLY BELOW THE TOP OF THE POLE. YOU COULD DO ANOTHER ANTENNA, BUT I THINK THERE'S ONLY LIKE TEN FEET ON THAT BEFORE WE CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT AGAIN. BUT WE HAVE TO START WITH SEC RULES. I WAS JUST HEARING YOU.

CAN YOU TRANSLATE? CAN YOU SPEAK UP, PLEASE? JUST HEAR EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID.

I WAS JUST SAYING THAT THE POLE IS 95FT TALL WITH A.

LIGHTNING ROD THAT'S TEN FOOT ON TOP OF THAT. THE ANTENNA IS MOUNTED JUST BELOW THE HEIGHT OF THE POLE, AND YOU COULD ADD ANOTHER ANTENNA THAT GOES UP HIGHER.

BUT ONCE YOU GO, I BELIEVE THE THRESHOLD IS TEN FEET.

THEN WE CAN LOOK AT IT AGAIN. BUT I WOULD HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK WITH THE REGULATIONS ON THAT.

THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE. IS THERE ANY CONCERN THAT THERE'S BOATS ON THIS PROPERTY? NO. OKAY. BECAUSE THERE'S LOTS OF BOATS ON THIS.

I MEAN, IT'S ON EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THIS PROPERTY.

OH, YEAH. I THINK THE BIGGEST CONCERNS ABOUT ANTENNAS ARE HOW FAR OR HOW CLOSE IN CASE THEY FALL OVER.

RIGHT. I MEAN, THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER.

I'VE EVER SEEN ABOUT. ITEM THREE, THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

I AGREE, IS REZONING OF 20 ACRES AT 800 STATE HIGHWAY ONE, 21 LAKE VISTA DRIVE FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

WE DO HAVE TRAMMELL CROW. SCOTT KRIKORIAN WILL BE PRESENTING THIS AND MAYOR.

I THINK THERE WAS. I GOT SOME CALLS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH SOME CONFUSION ABOUT KIND OF WHAT WAS ALLOWED WHEN THE FIRST SUBMITTAL WAS MADE, AND I JUST WANTED MICHELLE TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT THAT, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

YEAH. SO WHEN THE APPLICATION WAS MADE, IT WAS ACTUALLY BEFORE THE FIRST ROUND OF SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARDS WAS ADOPTED THAT SAME DAY, ACTUALLY. AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT, THE DEVELOPER, TO FIND, TO LOOK AT THE STANDARDS THAT WERE IN PLACE WHEN THEY MADE THEIR APPLICATION AND WHAT OUR STANDARDS ARE TODAY, AND TO TRY TO BALANCE THOSE AND TO FIND A GOOD SPOT.

I THINK ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS WAS WITH THE LANDSCAPING, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE FRONT.

BECAUSE OF THE REAR OF THAT PROPERTY. AND WANTING TO ENHANCE THE LAND AROUND ALONG THE REAR, BECAUSE THERE'S THE TRAIL SYSTEM, WE PUSH THE APPLICANT TO PUSH LANDSCAPING TOWARDS THE SOUTH.

SO THEY DID SQUEEZE IT A LITTLE BIT ON THE NORTH SIDE AS PART OF THE RECONFIGURATION THAT THEY DID TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE SOUTH SIDE LANDSCAPING.

THE NORTH GOT SQUEEZED A LITTLE BIT. SO THE REASON FOR THE PD IS TO GET IT CLOSER TO OUR EXISTING ZONING.

YEAH. SO THE THE TO CLARIFY, WHEN THEY SUBMITTED THE THE ORIGINAL REGULATIONS BEFORE WE DID ANY OF OUR CHANGES, WHICH IS THEIRS BY RIGHT, WHICH WAS THE WHICH QUESTIONABLY BUT BUT YES, THEIR FIRST SUBMITTAL THAT THEY MADE MET ALL COULD HAVE BEEN BUILT ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT. NOW WE DID A CODE CHANGE AND THEN THERE WAS THERE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU VESTED TO AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

BUT BUT WE AS STAFF HAVE TRIED TO PUSH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD HEIGHTENED ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, THAT WE HAD CHANGES IN SOME OF THE NUMBERS OF BAYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND WE CAN GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT. AND WHEN WE WHEN WE GO OUT THERE, PLEASE COME ON IN.

YOU'RE ALL GOOD. BUT REGARDLESS, IT REALLY WAS TO ADD TO GET A BETTER PRODUCT AT THE END OF THE DAY THAN WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO DO BY RIGHT WHEN THEY FIRST APPEARED.

[00:05:07]

ALL RIGHT. CONSENT AGENDA ITEM FOUR. APPROVAL OF MINUTES.

ITEM FIVE CUSTODIAL SERVICES FOR VARIOUS CITY FACILITIES.

ITEM SIX VIDEO INSPECTION OF STORM SEWER LINES.

I DON'T KNOW HOW EXCITING THAT SOUNDS. I LOVE THAT.

THAT'LL BE LIVE STREAMED ON OUR CHANNEL. I WOULD HOPE SO.

EVERYTHING IS CONTENT. EVERYTHING. IS THAT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE THAT? WITH THE CONTRACT. DIDN'T WE KNOW WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT? THIS IS JUST CONTINUATION. IT'S COOL STUFF. IT'S GOING TO BE FILMED AT A COLDPLAY CONCERT.

THAT WAS SO BAD. MOVING ON. ITEM SEVEN APPROVAL OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TEAGUE AND PERKINS FOR RIGHT AWAY.

SERVICES FOR PRAIRIE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. I HAD A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THIS.

THIS IS THE WAY THAT THIS WAS WRITTEN. IT'S IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE MIGHT BE SOME DESIGN ASSOCIATED AS PART OF THIS NUMBER TWO.

OR IS THIS JUST FOR RIGHT AWAY? I CAN IMAGINE FOR RIGHT OF WAY THERE IS SOME MONEY FOR SOME DESIGN MODIFICATIONS IN THIS NUMBER.

YES. AGAIN THIS NUMBER. OKAY. SIMPLY BECAUSE ONCE WE START CONTACTING THESE FOLKS, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO RUN INTO.

AND IF WE CAN AVOID CONDEMNATION BY ADJUSTING THE DESIGN, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO THAT.

OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH, I JUST GOT A LITTLE BIT OF STICKER SHOCK WHEN I WAS LIKE, 17 PARCELS FOR $520,000.

WELL, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT. ALL OF THESE HAVE HOLES ON THEM. IT'S THE RELOCATE.

I MEAN, THE COMPLEXITY OF RELOCATING PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN HOMES.

WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE, BUT IT IS A MASSIVE LIFT.

SO I DID SEE THAT THERE WERE POTENTIALLY SOME COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES AND POTENTIALLY SOME RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES THAT MAY INVOLVE RELOCATION.

PLEASE. CORRECT. SO THIS THIS INCLUDES RELOCATION SERVICES.

WHAT IS THE RELOCATION SERVICE? WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL? YOU HAVE TO LIKE. WELL YOU COULD SAY WELL I MEAN HOW ABOUT THEY MOVE PEOPLE AND THEIR CONTENTS AND THEY'LL PROVIDE A PLACE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS.

YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE A PLACE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR PART OF THAT.

AND THEN YOU HAVE TO FIND THINGS THAT ARE COMPARABLE. PLACES TO LIVE. SO THERE'S THERE'S THAT IN SEARCH.

YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. GOT IT. THANK YOU. I FEEL BETTER ABOUT THAT.

GOOD QUESTIONS. ITEM EIGHT AD VALOREM TAX AND ASSESSMENT.

BILLING AND COLLECTION SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE AND DENTON COUNTY.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? I UNDERSTAND THEY CAME IN AT 99.9.

COMPLETED. SO THAT'S THE DEBT APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

OKAY. THIS IS COUNTY. YEAH. JUST SMACK YOU FOR CONFUSING.

YES. OKAY. HE'D BETTER RUN FASTER. THAT'S FAIR.

WHY HAVE I HAD DICKHEAD ON MY PHONE ALL DAY? ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? OBVIOUSLY NOT. ITEM NINE. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE SUSPENDING THE JULY 31ST EFFECTIVE DATE FOR ENCORE AND THEN OUR OUR ANNUAL LITIGATION WITH THEM. SO I ASKED FOR THAT TO BE PULLED, BUT MAYBE IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE PULLED.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS. SO, LIZ, IF WE GET IN THIS DISCUSSION, IF WE CROSS OVER, I'M HAPPY TO ASK FOR IT TO BE PULLED, BUT I DON'T I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE RESIDENTS? HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE TEXAS, NEW MEXICO POWER INSTEAD OF ONCOR AND THIS AFFECT CASTLE HILL, WHICH HAS COST, OR DOES IT AFFECT ANY OF THOSE FOLKS? BUT IT DOES. WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF ONCOR DE MINIMIS.

LIKE, YEAH. SO BASICALLY GO AHEAD AARON. YOU CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

SURE. SO I DID TALK TO THE ATTORNEY FOR THE ENCORE STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH WE'RE A MEMBER OF.

AND HE BELIEVES THAT WE DO HAVE A HANDFUL OF ENCORE CUSTOMERS.

HOWEVER, HE COULDN'T TELL ME WHERE. AND THE MAIN REASON FOR THAT IS THE MATH THAT THE PUC, THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION, PROVIDES FOR ELECTRIC SERVICE, IS POOR.

IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE RESOLUTION TO GET DOWN TO THAT LEVEL.

BUT BASICALLY THE HISTORY ON THIS IS WHY THIS APPLIES TO LEWISVILLE, WHICH IS KIND OF CONFUSING BECAUSE WE'RE TNP AND CO SERVE RIGHT WITH WHAT WE BELIEVE.

THERE'S A LIST OF CITIES THAT ARE IN THE ORIGINAL JURISDICTION OF ENCORE CITIES.

WE'RE ONE OF THOSE. AND WE'VE NEVER CEDED THAT THAT JURISDICTION.

[00:10:01]

THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT USED BY, BY THE OTHER COMPANIES THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE PASSING THAT COST ALONG TO THE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T USING ONCOR DIRECTLY.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT, AS FAR AS IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THEY DO USE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT THIS IS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO RETAIL SERVICES FOR ENCORE CUSTOMERS.

OKAY. SO I THINK IS THAT RIGHT? AND SO IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION, THEN THAT THAT RATE INCREASE GOES FORWARD FOR ANY ENCORE.

WELL, I'M ALL FOR THE RESOLUTION. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE INVOLVED WITH IT. SO OKAY, WE HAVE A WE HAVE A SMALL HANDFUL OF HOUSES WE THINK THAT ARE IMPACTED.

WE'RE ON THE BOARD FOR HISTORICAL REASONS. AND WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THIS IN THIS CONSENT AGENDA ITEM, APPROVING THE RESOLUTION THAT BASICALLY STAYS THIS, THIS INCREASE UNTIL WE CAN STUDY SO THAT WE CAN RESEARCH STRATEGIES TO TRY TO NEGOTIATE THOSE RATES DOWN. OKAY. AND I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE, THE ATTORNEY FEES THAT WORKS FOR THE STEERING COMMITTEE, THOSE ARE REIMBURSABLE BY ENCORE. SO THERE'S NO COST TO US.

VERY. NEXT QUESTION IS GOING TO BE THE COST FOR THESE ANNUAL HOUSES.

THANK YOU. THIS IS THE SAME PROCESS WE USE WITH TNP, WITH ATMOS, WITH WITH ALL THE UTILITIES.

IT IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS WE HAVE THE STEERING COMMITTEE FOR ENCORE WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

IT'S NOT AS FORMAL FOR THE OTHERS. OKAY. THANK YOU.

SO WAIT JUST A SECOND HERE AND BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

SO BECAUSE I DID GET AN EMAIL ABOUT SOMEBODY ASKING, YOU KNOW, THAT WE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE APPLIED THIS.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THIS IS WE ARE ONE THE CITY IS ONE MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE, RIGHT.

SO EVEN IF WE SAID WE DON'T AGREE WITH THIS AND WE JUST FLAT OUT DENY IT, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT GET AN INCREASE BECAUSE WE'RE JUST ONE VOTE ON A COMMITTEE OF OTHER. WE ACTUALLY GOT CLARIFICATION ON THAT SLIGHTLY.

OKAY. SO IT'S NOT A VOTE ON THE COMMITTEE. IT'S EACH INDIVIDUAL CITY.

SO IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS SUSPENSION THEN IT WILL MOVE FORWARD FOR ANY ENCORE CUSTOMERS IN LEWISVILLE.

THE INCREASE WILL MOVE. NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT BUT 90 DAYS FROM NOW, WE HAVE TO APPROVE ANOTHER RESOLUTION.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, IF IF WE'RE BEING ASKED, JUST FLAT OUT DENY ANY RATE INCREASES AND JUST SAY NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO APPROVE ANY RATE INCREASES.

THAT'S THAT'S NOT REALLY WITHIN OUR JURISDICTION OF WHAT WE CAN DO.

RIGHT. SO BASICALLY WHAT WHAT WILL END UP HAPPENING IS IF YOU LET'S SAY WE WANTED TO SAY ABSOLUTELY NO RATE INCREASES.

THAT IS JUST A RESOLUTION SAYING THAT THAT'S OUR OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE PUC.

SO IT HOLDS. I MEAN, IF THERE'S NO BASIS FOR IT, WE JUST ABSOLUTELY DON'T WANT IT.

I MEAN, THEY'RE GOING TO CONSIDER ALL OF THOSE THINGS, JUST LIKE WHEN WE GATHER ALL THE DATA AND WE PUT TOGETHER AND WE SAY WE THINK IT SHOULD BE REDUCED, NOT NOT WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE IT A LITTLE BIT.

AND WE'LL BE AS MUCH AS IT WAS BEFORE. THEY'RE WILLING TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION MORE. BUT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT DEFINITIVE.

WE DON'T HAVE OUR SAY IS NOT THE LAW. WE SAY YEAH THEY SAY IT'S THE PUC FOR REASONS.

YES. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT IN A PUBLIC SETTING, YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO US AS MUCH AS THE REST OF THE STATE LISTENS TO.

IT'S PROBABLY. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND KEEP THAT IN. YEAH. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ITEM TEN REGULAR HEARING. CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS TO 2035 STEERING COMMITTEE.

WE HAVE A LIST PUT TOGETHER BY OUR CITY SECRETARY.

AND WE JUST MADE A MOTION TO APPOINT ALL OR SOME MEMBER POINTS TO DO SO, OR NONE.

AND WE HAVE ALL THOSE OPTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS ON 1011 CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS FOR VARIOUS CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS? YES. ONE SMALL ADJUSTMENT TO THE LIST. CDBG CDBG SOPHIA AND OR WITH RICHARD CHAUVIN, 37, AND SOPHIA. SO SOPHIA TO THE LIBRARY BOARD INSTEAD OF RICK. IS JUST LIKE THOSE TWO.

THE REASON IS SOPHIA SERVES ON THE UNITED WAY BOARD, SO SHE WOULD BE OVERSEEING FUNDING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY GO TO THE UNITED WAY.

SO WE AGREED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SIT ON THOSE BOARDS ANYWAY.

SO IT'S A PRETTY GOOD SPOT. SO I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME.

AND WHAT CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE COMMENTARY ON THERE BECAUSE YEAH.

SO JENNIFER, WE'RE TALKING I THINK IS A TOURIST BOARD WHERE WE HAD THE.

[00:15:04]

SO THAT THE MAYOR, HOW I'M READING IT IS THAT THE MAYOR WOULD ALWAYS BE THE CHAIR.

AND SO SOMEHOW WE GOT OUT OVER OUR SKIS AND WILLIAM, YOU WERE CHAIR AT THE TIME, I GET THAT.

WHY WHY ARE WE NOT DOING THAT FOR ONE AND TWO? BECAUSE THEIR THEIR ESTABLISHMENT DOCUMENTATIONS ARE DIFFERENT.

OKAY. WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT TWO THAT ARE THE SAME AND TWO THAT ARE.

SO WE'VE GOT THREE DIFFERENT SETUPS FOR TOURS, FOR FOUR TOURS.

WELL, WE'LL EVENTUALLY MAKE THEM ALL CONSISTENT, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO WE'LL WE'LL DO A LITTLE DANCE THERE, GET THAT TO LAND BACK IF THAT WORKS FOR EVERYBODY.

SO THIS ISN'T THE PROPER ORDER IN WHICH YOU WANT TO END.

CORRECT. NO, I THINK I THINK AS LISTED ON THE FORM.

IT'S CORRECT. INCORRECT ON THIS ONE. YEAH. SO WHEN WE DO APPOINTMENT FOR TOURS FOR I'LL BE THE CHAIR AND THEN TOURS FOR, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE HAVE WILLIAM AS THE CO-CHAIR, I THINK IS ON THAT ONE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? WELL, WE'RE JUST WE'RE NOT DOING WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT IN THIS MEETING, BUT. OKAY. BUT WHEN WE GET TO THAT. BUT AS FAR AS THE LISTING GOES, IT'S CORRECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT? THANK YOU. SO WHOMEVER. WHOEVER DOES THIS GETS TO READ A LOT TONIGHT BECAUSE WE NEED ALL THOSE IN THE RECORD.

WILLIAM, I KNOW YOU WERE ITCHING TO DO THAT. I KNOW, I KNOW HALF OF IT.

HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED. AND THEN I HAVE REPORTS FROM OUR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES, FROM OUR CITY ENGINEER, AND FROM OUR DIRECTOR OF NEIGHBORHOOD INSPECTION SERVICES AND ANY OTHERS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE BACK INTO WORKSHOP.

ITEM B, PRESENTATION OF DENTON COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND RFQ PROCESS.

WE HAVE OUR CEO, PAUL KRISTINA, TO PRESENT, AND WE ALSO HAVE AUSTIN FRITH HERE, OBVIOUSLY TO GIVE DATA WHEN IT'S ASKED FOR.

AND CAN I ALSO STATE MAYOR BEFORE WE GET STARTED? IS THAT THE REASON WE WANTED TO BRING THIS BACK TO YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THIS ALREADY, JUST IN KIND OF A SMALLER FORM WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE LAST DCT PRESENTATION.

BUT THEY'RE ABOUT TO GO OUT FOR AN RFQ TO FIND THE DEVELOPER PARTNER FOR THIS PROPERTY.

AND SO WITH THAT, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS SAW WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HIT THE HIT THE GROUND SO THAT THERE WAS NO SURPRISES.

AND YOU UNDERSTOOD KIND OF WHAT THE PLAN OF ATTACK IS.

THANK YOU. CLAIRE. MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, I APPRECIATE THE CHANCE TO BE WITH YOU.

AND. EXACTLY RIGHT. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE LOCKED IN TIGHT.

AND WE HAVE BEEN, THANKS TO A LOT OF GREAT TEAMWORK OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF OR MORE.

AND SO WHAT I'M HERE TO DO IS GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE ALL OF THAT STANDS. SO BEFORE THIS TIMELINE YOU SEE HERE, DCT GOT A GRANT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT BACK IN THE 2018, 2019 TIMEFRAME. AS THE BOARD HAS LED US THROUGH THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS THAT WE'VE BEEN IN, AND WE TALK ABOUT SETTING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE COMING YEARS.

THE TOPIC OF THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT IN OLD TOWN CAME UP AND SAID, THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. AND SO WE PUT FOCUSED EFFORT BEHIND IT AS A STAFF TO WORK WITH OUR BOARD AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE STAFF TO COME UP WITH THE VISION.

AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HERE. THE FIRST STEP WAS FOR THE DCA BOARD TO APPOINT A WORKING GROUP.

IT'S NOT A COMMITTEE, BUT A WORKING GROUP COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF DCT STAFF.

OUR BOARD CHAIR, CHAIR GILMORE JUDGE, WHO'S THE BOARD SECRETARY AND THEN MEMBERS OF THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE STAFF.

AND SO IT'S BEEN THAT SORT OF COLLABORATIVE EFFORT, BOARD CITY, COUNTY THAT HAS HELPED TO BRING THIS THING TOGETHER.

AND THESE WORKSHOPS THAT WE HELD HELPED US TO PROGRESS A VISION OVER THE COURSE OF TIME.

WE CAME UP WITH AN INITIAL PLAN. WE FOUND CHALLENGES, WE REVISED, AND ULTIMATELY WE'RE IN THE PLACE NOW.

WE'RE WHITE, CLAY SAID. WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO PUT OUT, AND THE BOARD HAS GIVEN US THE OKAY TO PUT OUT THIS REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS DOCUMENT AT THE END OF LAST SUMMER, OR AT THE BE AT THE END OF THIS SUMMER.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT AND THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE PROPERTY RIGHT HERE.

YOU SEE OBVIOUSLY THE A TRAIN STATION LOCATED ABOUT HERE.

AND THEN THIS SAYS DART BECAUSE THE CTA ACTUALLY OPERATES ON RIGHT OF WAY OWNED BY DALLAS AREA RAPID TRANSIT, WHERE THEY ARE ON A LONG TERM LEASE. WE OWN THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT AND ABOVE THE GROUND.

THEY OWN THE DIRT BENEATH THE GROUND, AND THAT'LL BE IMPORTANT HERE IN A SECOND.

AND THEN THIS PROPERTY THAT YOU SEE HERE, OWNED BY DICTA IN THIS PROPERTY OUTLINED IN YELLOW, IS PROPERTY THAT THE CTA ALSO OWNS, BUT THAT WAS PURCHASED WITH FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION FUNDS.

PART OF THAT GRANT THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BACK IN 2019.

THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHEN FEDERAL MONEY TOUCHES PROPERTY, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THERE BECOMES STRINGS ATTACHED AND PROHIBITIONS ABOUT THINGS YOU CAN'T

[00:20:04]

AND OF COURSE, YOU ALL ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH YOUR OWN DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

SO THE GOALS FOR THE PROJECT, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT PROVIDES SPACE FOR A CTA HEADQUARTERS ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING THAT WOULD HAVE OTHER SPACE FOR OTHER TENANTS TO HAVE CLASS A OFFICE SPACE ON FIRST, SECOND OR SECOND, THIRD FLOORS, POTENTIALLY A FOURTH.

AND THEN AT THE DOWNSTAIRS LEVEL, THERE'S A THINK ABOUT A PLAZA, RETAIL, SHOPPING AND PLACE, POTENTIALLY FOR PUBLIC GATHERINGS LIKE THE CTA BOARD MEETINGS.

THIS WAS THE INITIAL CONCEPT THAT WAS COME UP WITH BY THE WORKING GROUP.

AND WHAT YOU HAVE IS A PLATFORM THAT IMAGINES STANDING, GETTING OFF THE A TRAIN AND BEING ABLE TO SEE THROUGH A GROUND LEVEL THAT'S KIND OF FRAMED BY GLASS AND POLYCARBONATE, GOING AND LOOKING OUT INTO THIS BIG GREEN SPACE THAT'S SURROUNDED BY FOOD TRUCKS AND SHOPPING AND RESTAURANTS AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

ANOTHER BIG TOPIC OF CONVERSATION WAS AROUND SOME SORT OF REGIONAL DESTINATION, LIKE PERHAPS A HOTEL CONFERENCE CENTER OF A SCALE THAT WOULD FIT ONTO THIS PROPERTY.

AND THEN THERE'S UP AT THE TOP HERE. PARKING GARAGE SPACE AND THEN ALSO SOME POTENTIALLY SOME LIMITED MULTIFAMILY.

THE WORKING GROUP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MULTIFAMILY WASN'T VERY DESIRABLE BECAUSE OF ALL THE MULTIFAMILY GOING IN AT OCALA.

BUT WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT WHEN YOU PUT OUT A REQUEST LIKE THIS, THE DEVELOPER COMMUNITY MAY REALLY PUSH FOR THAT.

AND SO WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE WOULD ACCOMMODATE IT. SO AFTER THIS INITIAL VISION, WE STARTED DIGGING MORE INTO THE SITE AND SAID, WELL, THERE'S A MAJOR SEWER LINE THAT RUNS RIGHT THROUGH WHERE YOU SEE THAT BLACK DOTTED LINE, NOT IDEAL TO BUILD ON. WE WANT TO MAKE THIS AS EASY AS WE CAN FOR THE DEVELOPER COMMUNITY.

SO WE WANT TO TRY TO WORK AROUND THOSE KINDS OF CONSTRAINTS.

AND WE CAN WE KNOW THAT THE CITY IS WORKING ON A STORMWATER DETENTION AREA, A REGIONAL FACILITY THAT WILL HELP DRAIN THE ENTIRE PROPERTY OR THE ENTIRE AREA AROUND THAT SIDE OF THE RAILROAD. AND SO WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE WOULD ACCOMMODATE THAT IN THE FUTURE.

AND THEN WHATEVER WE COULD DO TO STAY AWAY OR STAY OUT OF THE DARK OWNED PROPERTY ALSO HELPS US BECAUSE IT KEEPS THE DEVELOPER PARTNER FROM HAVING TO WORK WITH MULTIPLE PUBLIC AGENCIES, WHICH CAN MAKE THINGS MORE COMPLICATED, INTRODUCE MORE RISK, THEREBY DRIVING PRICING.

AND SO WE WANT TO AVOID THAT AS WE CAN. AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR WAYS THAT WE CAN MAKE THE DEVELOPMENT TIE COHESIVELY INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STREETS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THAT VISION WAS THEN REFINED. AND WHICH YOU SEE HERE NOW IS NUMBER ONE, PHYSICAL CONNECTIVITY TO CHURCH AND MAIN WITH A GREEN SPACE AND PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS.

THAT MAKES IT EASY FOR A PERSON WHO MIGHT BE FREQUENTING THE WEST PART OF OLD TOWN TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE TRAIN STATION, MAKE IT TO THE TRAIN STATION WITHOUT HAVING TO NAVIGATE DRAINAGE DITCHES AND ALL THAT SORT OF THING.

WE KEEP THE CONCEPT OF AN ICONIC MAIN BUILDING THAT ACCOMMODATES CLASS-A OFFICE SPACE, RETAIL, SOME SORT OF GROUND FOR PUBLIC USE. AGAIN, THE IDEA THAT YOU GET OFF THE TRAIN AND IT'S EVIDENT THAT YOU'RE AT A PLACE, THE STRUCTURE ITSELF RESEMBLES A BUILDING THAT WHEN YOU SEE IT, EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A RAILROAD THERE.

YOU SAY THAT LOOKS LIKE A RAILROAD BUILDING. THAT'S THE KIND OF A THING THAT WE'RE THE THEME THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. AND AGAIN, THOSE OTHER PIECES LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT HOTEL, CONFERENCE CENTER RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, SHARED PARKING GARAGE, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THIS AS OPEN AS WE CAN, BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WITH A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS IS FIRST TO SEE WHO IS IN THE MARKETPLACE THAT COULD ACCOMPLISH A VISION LIKE THIS, BUT THEN ALSO WHAT IS THEIR VISION? HOW WHAT CAN THE MARKET TELL US ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO BE ECONOMICALLY VIABLE FOR THIS PROJECT? THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO DO. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE COMPONENTS, WHAT WE'VE SPENT SOME TIME ON IS TRYING TO GET A COST ESTIMATE FOR WHAT IS THE COST OF THIS ICONIC BUILDING, THIS ANCHOR BUILDING THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE.

THESE ARE VERY HIGH LEVEL PROGRAMMATIC ESTIMATES, BUILT IN A TIME WHEN IT'S REALLY HARD TO DO PROGRAMMATIC, HIGH LEVEL COST ESTIMATES BECAUSE PRICING CAN BE SO VARIABLE.

SO YOU SEE THE WAITING HALL COMPONENT OF THE GROUND FLOOR, THE DCT OFFICE BUILDING AND FIT OUT.

AND THEN THIS PLATFORM CONNECTION. KISS AND RIDE THE TRANSIT TERM A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN CIRCULATE, GO ZONE VEHICLES, THINGS LIKE THAT TO DROP SOMEBODY OFF THE TRAIN STATION AND THEN GO ON THEIR WAY.

TOTAL ESTIMATE FOR THAT ANCHOR FACILITY. JUST THIS ONE RIGHT THERE IS JUST OVER $40 MILLION, AND DCT HAS GRANT FUNDING IN HAND, ABOUT 8.5 MILLION.

AND SO THE GAP RIGHT NOW IS 32.3. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ASKING THE MARKET WHAT CAN YOU DO.

THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS AND FIRST SAY, OKAY, HERE'S WHAT WE COULD DO FOR A FEE.

THAT IS JUST A DEAL BETWEEN DCT AND THE DEVELOPER THAT WOULD BUILD THE BUILDING THAT I JUST SHOWED YOU.

HERE'S WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. HERE'S HOW LONG YOU TAKE ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF.

[00:25:01]

THEY'RE GOING TO TALK TO US ABOUT HERE ARE YOUR OPTIONS TO ACCOMPLISH A VISION LIKE THAT.

OR MAYBE YOUR VISION ISN'T MARKET VIABLE AT ALL, AND YOU NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT OTHER THINGS.

I WILL SAY THE CTA BOARD AND THE WORKING GROUP HAVE SAID THEY WANT TO CREATE A NOT A MEET THE MARKET, BUT A SET THE MARKET SORT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT THAT BEING, WE WANT TO CREATE AN ANCHOR ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE RAILROAD THAT STIRS AND CATALYZES DEVELOPMENT FOR THE REST OF OLD TOWN, MATCHING THE SUCCESS THAT YOU'VE HAD BEFORE.

AND SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS, IF WE DON'T GET SATISFACTORY RESPONSES ON THE RFQ, AND ALL WE GET IS SOMEBODY WHO SAYS WE CAN BUILD YOU A REALLY NICE BUILDING AND THIS IS THE COST, THEN WE COULD THE DC BOARD COULD CHOOSE TO GO FORWARD WITH THAT OPTION AND THEN JUST WAIT, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF TIME BECAUSE WE OWN THE PROPERTY.

SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS PUT TOGETHER AN RFQ DOCUMENT THAT AND IT'S IN DRAFT RIGHT NOW UNDERGOING FINAL REVISIONS THAT THAT SETS KIND OF THE VISION AND EXPECTATIONS. YOU SEE THE RFP REQUIREMENTS. THEY'RE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR.

AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH A SCORING PROCESS. WE WON'T READ THIS MATRIX TO YOU, BUT IT WILL BE A REQUEST, A PROCUREMENT PROCESS LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE IN ANY OTHER PUBLIC AGENCY.

REVIEW THE PACKAGES TO MAKE SURE THEY MEET THE STANDARD DO THE DO THE SCORING, DO INTERVIEWS, FINAL SELECTION. AND THEN WE ENTER INTO A PERIOD OF CONTRACT NEGOTIATION AND ULTIMATELY IDEALLY A CONTRACT AWARD TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT DEVELOPER PARTNER.

OUR TIMELINE. LIKE I SAID, WE'RE PLANNING TO RELEASE THE RFQ BEFORE THE END OF THE SUMMER, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER MILESTONES HERE.

WE PROVIDE OURSELVES AMPLE TIMES TO DO, AMPLE TIME TO DO NEGOTIATION WITH THE DEVELOPER.

AND WE'RE TYING IN THINGS LIKE THE REGIONAL STORMWATER FACILITY THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO.

WE UNDERSTAND WE COULDN'T BUILD ON THAT PARCEL UNTIL OUR BUILD THE THE THINGS THAT WOULD REQUIRE TO DRAIN TO THAT PARCEL UNTIL THAT STRUCTURE IS BUILT.

AND SO WE'RE WORKING REALLY CLOSELY, LIKE I SAID AT THE BEGINNING WITH YOUR STAFF TO MAKE SURE ALL THESE PIECES TIE TOGETHER. AND WE HAVE A SINGULAR, COHESIVE EFFORT. ULTIMATELY, WHAT THAT MEANS IS IF ALL GOES ACCORDING TO THIS SCHEDULE, IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE END OF THE YEAR 2029.

WHEN WE CUT THE RIBBON ON THAT ANCHOR FACILITY.

OTHER TIMELINES COULD COME OUT OF WHATEVER THE DEVELOPER SAYS IS POSSIBLE FROM THEIR VISION THAT THEY PUT FORWARD ON THE OTHER HALF OF THE RFQ.

SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR.

PROVIDED FURTHER INFORMATION AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU PAUL.

SO WHENEVER THIS RFP OR OUR QUEUE GETS PUBLISHED.

WHAT IS THAT, A NATIONAL PUBLICATION THAT. ARE WE PUTTING IT OUT NATIONALLY OR JUST IN THE STATE, OR WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? GREAT QUESTION. SO OUR OBVIOUSLY OUR PROCUREMENT PORTAL IS OPEN TO ANYBODY IN THE COUNTRY THAT WANTS TO, TO BID ON IT. WE HAVE WE ARE WORKING WITH A COUPLE OF CONSULTANT PARTNERS RIGHT NOW WHO ARE VERY WELL CONNECTED AND TIED IN TO THE DEVELOPER COMMUNITY OF THE TYPES OF COMPANIES THAT DO THIS KIND OF WORK. AND THESE, THESE THIS SORT OF OPPORTUNITY COMES UP IN THOSE KINDS OF CONVERSATIONS ALREADY, AS THIS ONE HAS ON AN INFORMAL BASIS. AND SO WE'RE EXPECTING THAT THIS WOULD GET FAIR EXPOSURE TO A NATIONAL MARKETPLACE.

OKAY. THAT'S I WOULD BE REALLY, REALLY INTERESTED BECAUSE I REALIZE THAT THIS TYPE OF THIS TYPE OF PROJECT IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED HERE IN, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE LIVE, RIGHT? SO, BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT OF A LOT OF COMPANIES, OR AT LEAST A HANDFUL OF COMPANIES THAT HAVE DONE THIS SUCCESSFULLY MANY TIMES IN OTHER PLACES, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. I REALLY, REALLY LOVE TO SEE WHAT THEIR THOUGHTS ARE TO US.

IT BEHOOVES US TO GET THIS OUT AS FAR AND WIDE AS POSSIBLE, AND WE'LL RELY ON OUR CONSULTANT PARTNERS TO HELP US WITH THAT.

OTHER QUESTIONS. I WANT TO THANK DOCTOR STAFF, CITY STAFF, COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN FOR HER INPUT AS WELL.

AND EVERYBODY HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS SO FAR. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE KINDS OF LEGACY PROJECTS.

SO, I MEAN, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT OLD TOWN DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT MAP HAS GONE ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE RAIL STATION.

BUT AS MOST OF US KNOW, THAT'S A LITTLE FAR TO WALK.

IT'S KIND OF A IT'S KIND OF A LITTLE DISJOINTED.

SO IF WE CAN CREATE THAT WAIT ON THE OTHER END, AND I THINK IT'S REALLY GOING TO HELP PULL THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AREA.

THE OTHER THING THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AND THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL HAVE GONE THROUGH A WHOLE FORMATIVE

[00:30:10]

ONE OF THOSE MOVING PIECES THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST IN IS TAKING THOSE COG DOLLARS THAT COME IN AND HELPING TO INVEST IN TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE THAT WILL HELP RIDERSHIP ACROSS THE NETWORK.

SO WE'RE HITTING AT A PRETTY GOOD TIME TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME OTHER CAPITAL OPTIONS THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THERE IN JUST A YEAR OR TWO AGO.

ANYTHING ELSE? NO, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE THE CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH YOU.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I DON'T SEE PRESENTATION OF OLD TOWN MASTER PLAN UPDATE.

AND WE HAVE OUR PLANNING MANAGER, MICHELLE BERRY. HI.

GOOD EVENING. AND BECAUSE I GET PULLED UP. BUT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON AN OLD TOWN MASTER PLAN UPDATE.

WE THINK IT IS HIGH TIME TO DO THIS, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN OVER 20 YEARS SINCE THE ORIGINAL OLD TOWN MASTER PLAN IN 2003.

WE HAVE DONE THE TOD UPDATES IN THE MEANTIME, WHICH HAVE FOCUSED ON THE EAST END OF OLD TOWN, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL OF IT, INCLUDING THE WEST. AND SO LAUREN COOK, WHO'S ONE OF OUR PLANNERS, IS HERE ALSO. AND LILY SUTTON, WHO IS ALSO ONE OF OUR PLANNERS, HAVE REALLY BEEN DOING THE BULK OF THE HEAVY LIFTING ON THIS.

SO I'M GOING TO LET THEM KIND OF GIVE YOU THE UPDATE OF THE WORK THEY'VE BEEN DOING. GOOD EVENING.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING THE RELATION TO EXISTING PLAN.

SO AS MICHELLE SAID IT'S REALLY THE TOD UPDATE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS WELL AS A DATA UPDATE, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A DEMOGRAPHIC COMPARISON FROM THE CITY, CURRENT OLD TOWN BOUNDARIES AND OUR STUDY AREA, AS WELL AS OUR OUTREACH SUMMARY, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A SUMMARY OF BOTH OUR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT EVENTS AS WELL AS A RESIDENTS SURVEY THAT WE CONDUCTED IN OLD TOWN, AND THEN GIVE YOU ALL A CHANCE TO GIVE US ANY FEEDBACK AND THEN GO OVER KIND OF NEXT STEPS.

SO HOW DOES THIS WORK WITH THE OLD TOWN MASTER PLAN TOD UPDATE.

THE GOALS WITHIN THAT TOD PLAN ARE LARGELY TO CONNECT BOTH THE EAST SIDE OF OLD TOWN WITH THE OLD TOWN STATION AREA AND BEING DONE THROUGH BETTERING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, SIDEWALKS, LIGHTING, AND CREATING KIND OF A MORE WELL-DEFINED URBAN CHARACTER, AS WELL AS A DYNAMIC AND RICH ENVIRONMENT EXTENDING FROM OLD TOWN TO THE STATION.

SO BRINGING THOSE TOD GOALS INTO THE MASTER PLAN WILL LOOK LIKE STRENGTHENING PHYSICAL AND VISUAL CONNECTIVITY, ESTABLISHING A COMPELLING AND RECOGNIZABLE BRAND AND URBAN CHARACTER, AS WELL AS A DYNAMIC AND RICH ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL EXTEND FROM THE OLD TOWN TO THE OLD TOWN STATION. SO THIS IS JUST A GENERAL MAP OF THE CURRENT OLD TOWN BOUNDARY AND THE OLD TOWN STUDY AREA.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO EXPAND THE OLD TOWN DESIGN DISTRICT BOUNDARIES THAT PURPLE, BUT WE DID NOTICE THAT THE AREAS IN GREEN HAVE SIMILAR NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER AND FEEL AND DEMOGRAPHICS TO OUR CURRENT OLD TOWN BOUNDARY, AND WE WANTED TO GET THEIR KIND OF TAKE ON OLD TOWN AND THE BUSINESSES THAT THEY FREQUENT, SINCE THEY MOST LIKELY ALSO ATTEND THE FESTIVALS AND EVENTS AND BUSINESSES WITHIN OLD TOWN.

AND SO WITH THAT, WE'LL GO INTO DEMOGRAPHICS. THIS IS A DEMOGRAPHIC COMPARISON FOR PEOPLE.

THE REAL MAIN TAKEAWAY FROM HERE IS THAT THE POPULATION GROWTH WAS MUCH MORE RAPID IN OUR CURRENT OLD TOWN AND OUR STUDY AREA THAN AS THE CITY AS A WHOLE, AND AS WELL HAS A MUCH HIGHER HISPANIC POPULATION THAN THOSE.

I HAVE A QUESTION ON THIS. THIS DATA IS FIVE YEARS OLD AND IN FIVE YEARS.

OUR NUMBERS DO NOT LOOK LIKE THAT ANYMORE. YES, MA'AM.

SO WE GET OUR. HOW DO WE TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WITHOUT HAVING THE OFFICIAL CENSUS? YES, MA'AM. SINCE WE DID HAVE TO USE THE OFFICIAL CENSUS 2020 DATA, WE KIND OF ARE GOING BASED OFF OF BOTH OUR RESIDENT SURVEYS AND WHAT WE'RE HEARING AND THE DATA THAT WE DO HAVE AND THAT WE DO KNOW. BUT JUST WHAT WE HAVE TO PRESENT TONIGHT IS JUST OUR 2020 LOCKDOWN DATA.

AND JUST TO CLARIFY, PART OF THAT IS WE WANTED TO COMPARE WHAT WAS IN THE OLD TOWN ORIGINAL MASTER PLAN, WHICH WAS BASED PURELY ON CENSUS DATA. WE DO HAVE ANNUAL POPULATION ESTIMATES FROM THE COG THAT WE'RE ALSO USING AND AWARE OF, BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE THIS DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT A LOT OF NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THOSE PAST FIVE YEARS.

SO, YES, THAT IS IN THE PLAN. IT WAS JUST INTERESTING TO COMPARE FROM THE CENSUS FROM WHEN WE DID THIS, AND IT WAS BACK IN 2000, ACTUALLY, IT WAS THE CENSUS DATA THAT THEY WERE USING THEN HOW FAR WE COME ALONG.

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND THAT ACTUALLY GOES INTO THE HOUSING BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER THING. A LOT OF THESE MULTI FAMILIES WERE NOT BUILT FIVE YEARS AGO, AND SO DON'T REALLY HAVE A GOOD GAUGE AT THIS POINT AT THIS MOMENT.

BUT AGAIN KIND OF THE MAIN TAKEAWAYS BEING THAT RELATIVELY THE OLD TOWN AND STUDY AREA ARE RELATIVELY ON TRACK WITH THE CITY AS A WHOLE,

[00:35:09]

NOW DUE TO THAT MULTIFAMILY COMING IN. SO WE'RE KIND OF PROJECTING WHAT WE WE SEE THE TRENDS BEING.

AND THIS IS JUST A GENERAL RACIAL PROFILE FOR BOTH THE CITY AND THE STUDY AREA.

AS YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, THE KIND OF THE MAIN TAKEAWAY BEING THAT MUCH MORE PEOPLE IDENTIFIED AS EITHER TWO OR MORE RACES OR OTHER IN THE STUDY AREA THAN THE CITY, WHICH WE FOUND WAS AN INTERESTING, INTERESTING POINT TO TO MENTION.

ALL RIGHT. SO GOING INTO OUR NEXT DATA POINT, THE MASTER PLAN FROM 2003 DID DO A PARKING ANALYSIS.

AND THE RECOMMENDATION BACK THEN WAS JUST THAT THE CITY CONTINUED TO MONITOR THE PARKING SITUATION.

THERE IS PARKING, BUT AGAIN, AS DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAPPEN TO JUST BE MINDFUL OF THAT.

AND SO BASED OFF OF WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM OUR PUBLIC OUTREACH, WHICH WE'LL GET INTO.

WE HAVE HEARD PEOPLE TALK ABOUT, WELL, OLD TOWN NEEDS MORE PARKING.

AND JUST BECAUSE WE DID THE ANALYSIS IN THE PAST, AGAIN, WE WANTED TO DO THAT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS.

SO WE DID ANOTHER PARKING STUDY. WE LOOKED AT ALL THE PUBLIC SPACES IN OLD TOWN.

SO THIS INCLUDES LOTS AND OFF STREET PARKING.

AND WE ALSO WE LOOKED AT IT DURING THE WEEKENDS AND WEEKDAYS OVER A COURSE OF A COUPLE HOURS.

SO OUR MAIN TAKEAWAY IS THAT PARKING IS STILL NOT A PROBLEM YET.

THE OCCUPANCY PEAKED AT 33% OVERALL WHEN YOU TOOK AWAY THE CTA STATION, WHICH IS BY FAR THE MOST DISCONNECTED.

AND ABOUT TEN MINUTES OUTSIDE THE OLD TOWN CORE.

FOR THIS OCCUPANCY ONLY INCREASED TO ABOUT 44%.

THIS IS A MAP SHOWING THE OCCUPANCY LEVELS AT A DIFFERENT TIME, BUT ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT WE DID FIND WAS THAT PARKING NEAR THE NEWER MULTIFAMILY WAS USUALLY PRETTY OCCUPIED, SOMETIMES EVEN GOING OVER THE NUMBER OF SPACES THAT WERE IN THE OFF STREET OR PUBLIC LOTS. SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THAT MORE PARKING NEAR THE MULTIFAMILY MAY BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.

DO YOU THINK THAT THAT MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH IT BEING AS CLOSE AS IT IS TO THE CORE OF OLD TOWN? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. SO. LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET THIS VIDEO GOING.

AGAIN, I DON'T THINK I CAN, BUT ANYWAYS, THERE IS OFF STREET PARKING HERE AND THERE'S A MULTIFAMILY TWO MULTIFAMILY, THE WHITLAND STATION OVER HERE. AND THESE AREAS WERE ACTUALLY THE MOST PARK.

AND SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY THE THE FURTHEST AWAY FROM THE CORE.

AND SO IT'S NOT JUST THE ONES NEAR LIKE MAIN AND MILL LOFT THAT ARE OR NEAR.

YEAH. MAIN AND MILL ARE THE MOST PART. IT'S ACTUALLY SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE FURTHER AWAY.

OKAY I THINK I MISUNDERSTOOD THE GRAPHIC. AND SO.

YEAH. LET ME SEE. YOU DIDN'T HAVE MEGAN MILL WOULD TURN RED.

YEAH. YEAH, IT DOES TURN RED. BUT YEAH, THAT'S PART OF THAT TOO.

I THINK ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE THAT PUBLIC. THAT'S.

YEAH, THAT'S THE PARKING GARAGE. YEAH, THE GARAGE AT THE BOTTOM. THAT'S A PARKING GARAGE, BUT I JUST, I REALLY I'M HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THE PARKING GARAGE IN, IN THE PUBLIC PARKING ASPECT OF IT.

WE HAVE OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM AND OUR PUBLIC SERVICES TEAM HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SIGNING THAT.

SO THERE'S HOURS WHERE YOU CAN'T PARK PAST A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOURS THERE.

TO GET PEOPLE MOVING SO THAT RESIDENTS ARE JUST PARKING IT AND LEAVING IT THERE.

AND THEN FOR THOSE, THAT REALIZE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS THE RESIDENTS TAKING UP THE PUBLIC INSTEAD OF PARKING OR HAVING 3 OR 4 VEHICLES VERSUS THEIR TWO VEHICLES.

SO THEY'RE TAKING PUBLIC. I THINK THE OTHER PIECE ON THAT IS THAT THERE IS SOME PUBLIC PARKING TO THE RIGHT.

SO IN THE OTHER BUILDING, THE SMALLER BUILDING, IT ACTUALLY HAS SOME PUBLIC SPACES AS WELL.

BUT EVERYBODY KIND OF FOCUSES ON THE FIRST ONE.

AND THAT SECOND BUILDING I BELIEVE IS NEWER THAN THE MAIN ONE.

AND SO I THINK WHEN I TALKED TO THE COMMUNITY MANAGER, IT WAS ONLY ABOUT LIKE 80 SOMETHING PERCENT OCCUPIED.

I'M SURE AS THAT INCREASES, AS MORE RESIDENTS MOVE IN, IT WILL BE MORE OF AN ISSUE AS WELL.

SO GOING INTO OUR OUTREACH, WE DID PHASE ONE IN THE FALL.

LAST YEAR WE WENT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT FESTIVALS AND RESOURCE FAIRS ACROSS LEWISVILLE.

WE TABLED AND WE HAD TWO MAIN ACTIVITIES. WE HAD A MAPPING PIN BOARD SO RESIDENTS COULD PUT PINS THAT HAD DIFFERENT MEANINGS.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAD A ONE PAGE SURVEY THAT PEOPLE COULD FILL OUT.

SO WHEN TALKING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE LOVED ABOUT OLD TOWN FOR THE PINBOARD ACTIVITY, PEOPLE REALLY LIKED OUR PUBLIC SPACES.

SO THAT'S YOU KNOW, SOMETHING REALLY GOOD TO HEAR.

FOR THE SURVEY, WE ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE EXCITED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT IN OLD TOWN, AND OVER 82% OF OLD TOWN RESIDENTS THAT RESPONDED SAID THEY WERE EXCITED.

[00:40:05]

SO IT REALLY JUST SHOWS THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE LIKING WHAT WE'RE DOING. WHEN ASKED WHERE OLD TOWN COULD IMPROVE, THE MAIN FEEDBACK WAS FOR TRANSPORTATION. AND WHEN YOU BROKE THIS OUT FURTHER IN THE SURVEY, PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST INFRASTRUCTURE WAS BY FAR THE HIGHEST, FOLLOWED BY THE PARKING LOT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

OTHER IDENTIFIED NEEDS INCLUDED MORE RESTAURANTS AND ENTERTAINMENT.

I THINK MAINLY LIKE A DIVERSITY OF TYPES OF OFFERINGS.

AND THEN GROCERY STORE WAS A BIG ONE AND, WILL BE A CONTINUED THEME WE SEE ACROSS THE OUTREACH.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL I HEAR ABOUT IS GROCERY STORE.

EXACTLY. YEAH, AND I LIVE ON THE EAST TOWN AND WE NEED A FREAKING STORM.

YES. SO FOR PHASE TWO, THAT WAS A SURVEY THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

WE HAD BOTH ONLINE AND MAILED FORMATS, AND THEN WE ALSO DID A INTER-DEPARTMENTAL SWOT ANALYSIS.

THIS SLIDE IS JUST SHOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND THE SURVEY IN THE STUDY AREA THAT WE TALKED FROM LAST TIME.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THE SURVEY AND THE STUDY AREA DEMOGRAPHICS ARE ALSO THE STUDY IS NOT COMPLETELY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ENTIRETY OF THE THE STUDY AREA, BUT STILL IMPORTANT FEEDBACK NONETHELESS.

WE ASKED PEOPLE WHY THEY MOVED TO OLD TOWN. MAJORITY SAID FOR HOUSING REASONS, EITHER THE AFFORDABILITY, THE LOCATION TO WORK OR FAMILY. WHEN ASKED TO LIST THREE BUSINESSES YOU VISIT MOST OFTEN.

PERKIN. PRAIRIE HOUSE, WHERE THE TOP ONE'S ANOTHER INTERESTING TAKE AWAY FROM THE SLIDE IS JUST GETTING A PEOPLE'S IDEA ABOUT WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE AN OLD TOWN.

SO, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WE SEE BRONZE IS A BIG ONE THERE.

WALMART, WHICH IS, I THINK WE THINK OUTSIDE OF IT, BUT GOOD TO KNOW.

AND THEN ANOTHER ONE. LIST THREE BUSINESSES. YOU WOULD VISIT AN OLD TOWN IF THEY EXISTED. OVERWHELMINGLY IT'S GROCERY STORE, FOLLOWED BY THE RESTAURANTS AND BARS, WHICH AGAIN BRINGING IN THE VARIETY.

AND THEN THE NEXT, THE LIFESTYLE AND THE SPECIALTY STORES LIKE HOME AND GARDEN, PET STORE, GYM, STUDIOS. SO THEN WE ASKED, WHAT SHOULD THE CITY PRIORITIZE STAFF TIME AND MONEY ON? THE LARGE ONE WAS INCENTIVIZING NEW SMALL BUSINESSES.

NEXT IS MAINTAINING NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER. SO PEOPLE REALLY LIKE THE SMALL TOWN FEEL OF OLD TOWN.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE LAST MAJOR ONE IS ADDING NEW PARKS AND GREEN SPACES.

WHICH CITY IS ALREADY CURRENTLY WORKING ON. SO THAT'S GOOD PROGRESS.

WE ALSO, I THINK, I THINK AT THIS TIME WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO TAKE A PAUSE AND THEN WE WILL COME BACK AND FINISH THIS UP, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT FOR THE TEAM. SO OKAY MY APOLOGIES BECAUSE IT'S GREAT CONTENT.

IT'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD. YEAH. JUST GOING OUT THERE AND ALL THAT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PAUSE THE WORK SESSION.

WE'LL COME BACK HERE IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND THEN WE'LL FINISH THIS UP.

ALL RIGHT. AT 7:00. AND WE'RE GONNA CALL THIS REGULAR SESSION OF THE LEWISVILLE CITY COUNCIL TO ORDER. WE DO HAVE A QUORUM. FIRST UP ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, WE HAVE THE

[A. Invocation - Councilmember Patrick Kelly]

PLEASE JOIN ME IN A MOMENT OF SILENCE.

THANK YOU. PLEASE JOIN ME IN THE PLEDGES TO US AND THE STATE OF TEXAS.

[B. Pledge to the American and Texas Flags - Mayor Pro Tem Ronni Cade]

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

HONOR THE TEXAS FLAG. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE TEXAS ONE STATE UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE BACK INTO WORK SESSION FOR JUST A COUPLE OF MOMENTS, AND THEN WE WILL COME BACK TO OUR REGULAR SESSION COUNSEL.

[H. Return to Workshop Session if Necessary]

[00:45:15]

SO GETTING TO THE LAST END OF THE SURVEY, WE ASKED THEM ABOUT HOUSING.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING HOUSING TYPES WOULD YOU PREFER IF IT WERE AVAILABLE TO YOU? OVERWHELMINGLY, PEOPLE PREFER THE SINGLE FAMILY TRADITIONAL, WHICH IS WHAT WE WOULD DEFINE AS WHAT'S KIND OF CURRENTLY EXISTING IN OLD TOWN. FOLLOWED BY TOWNHOMES, WHICH IS THE KIND OF NEWER DEVELOPMENT SINGLE FAMILY THAT'S KIND OF COMING THROUGH.

AND THEN THE LAST MAJOR ONE WAS SINGLE FAMILY SUBURBAN.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHEN YOU THINK OF MAYBE WEST LEWISVILLE, NEWER HOMES THAT ARE KIND OF BIGGER.

AND I'VE GOT IMAGES ON THE NEXT SLIDE TO HELP ADD SOME, PUT SOME FACES TO NAMES.

BUT ONE OTHER THING THAT WAS INTERESTING FROM HERE WAS THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY'D PREFER COTTAGE COURT.

COTTAGE COURT IS THIS STYLE OF MIDDLE MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING THAT HELPS ADD GENTLE DENSITY.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY CURRENTLY ALLOWED IN LEWISVILLE BY OUR CODE.

COULD POTENTIALLY THROUGH A PD, BUT YEAH, THE INTEREST OF PEOPLE TO LIVE IN A TYPE OF HOUSING LIKE THIS DEFINITELY HAS US THINKING ABOUT HOW CAN WE REFINE OUR CODE TO ALLOW THIS IN OLD TOWN. I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING THAT REP APARTMENTS WERE HIGHER THAN DUPLEX TRIPLEX.

YEAH, THAT'S ALSO AN INTERESTING THING. YEAH.

AND I THINK THAT'S, YOU KNOW, KIND OF PULLING IN FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY LIVING IN THE WRAP APARTMENTS. THEY MIGHT LIKE SOMETHING. YEAH.

SO YEAH, THOSE ARE THE OTHER KIND OF DIFFERENTIATING HOUSING TYPES.

THEN THE NEXT QUESTION WE ASKED AFTER THAT WAS WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING HOUSING TYPES THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY LISTED IS APPROPRIATE ON YOUR BLOCK.

SO WE ASKED PEOPLE WHAT WAS THE INTERSECTION NEAREST TO THEM.

AND THEN KIND OF CATEGORIZING THESE, SIMPLIFYING IT INTO LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH DENSITY KIND OF HOUSING.

WE WERE ABLE TO MAP IT. AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THE HIGHER DENSITY PEOPLE KIND OF PREFER A HIGHER DENSITY, KIND OF NEAR THE MAIN STREET CORE AND PUSHING FURTHER EAST, WHICH ALIGNS WELL WITH WHAT WE ARE ALREADY ENVISIONING FOR OLD TOWN.

SO THEN THIS IS THE TAKEAWAYS FROM OUR SQUAT.

THERE'S A LOT OF WORDS ON HERE. BUT A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK FROM STAFF.

AND A LOT OF IT ALIGNING AGAIN WITH WHAT WE'VE SEEN ON THE FIELD.

SO SOME OF THE PROPOSED GOALS THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD INTO THE MASTER PLAN UPDATE ARE TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT'S BEING A HUGE ONE THAT WE SAW WITHIN THE SURVEY.

SAME WITH VISUALLY CONNECTING OLD TOWN TO THE TOD BUSINESS 121 AND I-35 THROUGH THOSE DESIGNS AND ARTS AND WAYFINDING KIND OF PLANS, AND THEN ENSURE REGULATIONS ACHIEVE THE VISION AND REDUCE CONFLICTS BETWEEN USES AND NEWER AND OLDER STRUCTURES.

SPECIFICALLY, THESE REGULATIONS MAY INCLUDE LIKE PARKING, ZONING AND DESIGN GUIDELINES, AND THEN PROTECT THE CHARACTER AND QUALITY OF EXISTING NEARBY SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS. AGAIN, KIND OF ONE OF THE REASONS WE WENT OUTSIDE OF THE OLD TOWN BOUNDARY AND WENT TO THE STUDY AREA IS BECAUSE SIMILAR NEIGHBORHOODS EXIST THROUGHOUT AND THEN ADDITIONALLY CONTINUE TO PROMOTE ECONOMIC VITALITY AND CONTINUE TO HOST AND FACILITATE A WIDE RANGE OF EVENTS, ESPECIALLY FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENTS. WE GOT THAT A LOT ON OUR SURVEY THAT PEOPLE WANTED MORE FAMILY FRIENDLY OPTIONS, AND THEN TO PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES TO SERVE FAMILIES, ADULTS AGING IN PLACE AND SMALLER HOUSEHOLDS.

AND SO THIS IS OUR FRAMEWORK MAP. THIS IS A MAP OF ESSENTIALLY THE PROPOSED LAND USES IN KIND OF THE SURROUNDING AND IN OLD TOWN, AS YOU CAN SEE, KIND OF THE MAIN TAKEAWAY BEING THAT MIXED USE COMMERCIAL FITTING REALLY WELL ALONG LIKE MAJOR STREETS.

AND THEN IN THAT EAST TODD. AND THEN SO WE'VE TAKEN ALL OF THIS INFORMATION AND DRAFTED A VISION STATEMENT, WHICH IS OLD TOWN. LEWISVILLE WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN ITS HISTORY AND AUTHENTICITY WHILE DEVELOPING AS A PREMIERE DESTINATION FOR ENTERTAINMENT, WELCOMING ALL TYPES OF HOUSEHOLDS TO A THRIVING NEIGHBORHOOD.

WITH THAT, WE WILL OPEN IT UP TO ANY FEEDBACK I MIGHT HAVE OR QUESTIONS.

COUNCIL. I JUST HAVE A REAL QUICK QUESTION. CLEARLY THE HUGEST, BIGGEST LOCK ON THE WORD CLOUD.

AND I GO THERE ALL THE TIME LIKE TUESDAY, BUT MOST OF THE MORNING I'VE HEARD. SO I'M THERE TYPICALLY FROM LIKE 630 OR PROBABLY 930 OR SO.

I'VE GOT THE TWO HOUR PARKING SPOT, SO I GOT TO GO OUT WITH MY CAR OR I GO PARK AND I WALK ACROSS.

HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU'VE GOT IT'S NOT JUST ME. STUDENTS ARE IN THERE STUDYING.

THERE'S SMALL BUSINESSES STARTING THAT CLEARLY ARE GOING TO BE THERE FOR THE TWO HOURS.

IS THAT SIGNAGE OUT IN FRONT THAT SAYS TO OUR PARKING, IS THAT A HONOR SYSTEM THING? IS THAT JUST A IS A YOU KNOW, PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS WHEN YOU'RE IN HERE.

BE KIND, COURTEOUS. HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT ALLOWING THOSE PEOPLE TO SIT IN PARK FOR WHATEVER DURATION THEY WANT WITHOUT VIOLATING OR GETTING A TICKET?

[00:50:10]

AND SO THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TURNOVER WITH THAT PARKING ALONG THAT BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT HISTORIC CORE.

WE'VE GOT THE ANGLED FRONT END PARKING. AND SO THAT IS TWO HOUR PARKING THAT IS ENFORCED, I BELIEVE, BY OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND WE DIDN'T REALLY LOOK AT CHANGING THAT OR REALLY CONTEMPLATE CHANGING THAT JUST BECAUSE THAT IS SUCH HIGH DEMAND PARKING.

WHAT HAPPENS IS IF THE PARK HAS A LOT OF CUSTOMERS THERE ALL DAY, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE OTHER RETAILERS WHO WOULD SAY, MY CUSTOMERS DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO PARK. AND SO WE WANT TO KIND OF AVOID THAT.

I WOULD RECOMMEND LEAVING THAT IN PLACE INTO THE HIGH DEMAND AREA.

I WAS GOING TO SAY ALSO, AND I THINK YOU WEREN'T ON COUNCIL AT THE TIME, BUT THE TWO HOUR PARKING CAME INTO EFFECT BECAUSE OF BUSINESSES OUT THERE WANTING THAT.

BECAUSE THERE THEY HAD THERE WERE SOME EMPLOYEES OF VARIOUS BUSINESSES THAT I THINK THERE WAS A CALL CENTER AT THE TIME THAT WAS DOWN THERE, AND IT WAS TAKING UP ALL THE PARKING SPOTS.

IT'S NOW SINCE MOVED. BUT IT WAS THE DESIRE TO HAVE TURNOVER AND BRING MORE CUSTOMERS IN THERE.

THEY COME IN, THEY BUY STUFF. THEY LEAVE MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

I GUESS THE QUESTION I HAVE IS THAT REALLY HAVING AN EFFECT? BECAUSE I THINK WHEN I SAY WHEN I SAY IT, WHEN I SIT IN THE PARK AND I, I CAN SEE I'M THERE FOR TWO HOURS, THERE'S PEOPLE WITH ME FOR TWO HOURS. SO I'M GOING, I'M MOVING. SO MAYBE THEY'RE OUT THERE. MAYBE THEY CAME FROM AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, I GUESS, OR THEY JUST THEY COULD HAVE PARKED SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN JUST ON MAIN STREET.

SO A LOT OF TIMES I WILL PARK. I WILL HAVE AS MUCH ENFORCEMENT.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU, A FEW YEARS AGO, WE HAD A DEDICATED POLICE OFFICER THAT WAS READY AND HE WAS WRITING TICKETS.

AND SO IF YOU WERE THERE TWO HOURS YOU HAD YOU HAD TO MOVE.

SO HE WASN'T A POLICE OFFICER. HE WAS A METER GUY.

AND HE REPORTED TO THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE.

OH, I KNOW THAT. NOW, WHAT WHAT MIGHT HELP WITH THAT, THOUGH, IS IF WE COULD PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION THAT PERC COULD GIVE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS TO SAY, HEY, IF YOU WANT TO STAY HERE LONGER THAN TWO HOURS, THEN YOU CAN COME PARK ALONG MAIN STREET OR ALONG CHURCH HERE, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK CHURCH HAS A TWO HOUR LIMIT FOR THE PARKING GARAGE.

YEAH, SO MAYBE PUTTING INTO THE PARKING GARAGES, AREN'T WE? IT'S LONGER THAN TWO HOURS. LONGER CARS. OKAY, SO THERE COULD BE SOME CONVERSATION AROUND THAT TO HELP, I THINK. SO THAT'S A PRETTY STANDARD PRACTICE IN, IN IN A DOWNTOWN WHERE YOU HAVE LIKE YOUR BUSINESS CORE RIGHT THERE THAT PARKING IS GOING TO BE MORE SHORT TERM PARKING. AND THEN AS YOU GO OUT THE PARKING YOU CAN STAY THERE LONGER.

SO IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO GO SOMEWHERE LIKE COFFEE HOUSE AND STAY THERE FOR FOUR HOURS, YOU REALLY SHOULD PARK FURTHER OUT SO THAT YOU LEAVE THE SPACES FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO RUN INTO THE STORE AND THEN LEAVE.

THAT'S SPECIFICALLY I REMEMBER IT WAS LIKE THE BRIDAL BOUTIQUE WAS ONE OF THEM THAT WAS LIKE, WOMEN ARE COMING TO PICK UP THEIR DRESSES AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WALK FIVE BLOCKS, LIKE, WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE THOSE SPACES TURNING FOR FOR CUSTOMERS.

I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH THE PREMISE OF IT. I'M WONDERING, IS IT REALLY DOING ANYTHING FOR US THAT THAT'S GOING TO.

IS IT A IS IT A NICE. DO FEEL GOOD BECAUSE IT'S OUT THERE WAS ACTUALLY TURNING THE SPACES OVER.

I THINK THERE'S A I THINK WE ARE NOT ENFORCING IT THE WAY WE USED TO ENFORCE IT.

SO I THINK THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST SITTING OUT THERE UNTIL THERE'S A COMPLAINT. SO I DO THINK THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES OUT THERE.

OKAY. AS I FOLLOW THE RULES, WHICH IS IN ANY CASE, THERE'S ALWAYS GOT TO BE 1 OR 2.

I'M A RULE FOLLOWER, SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

OTHER QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

THE SWOT ANALYSIS GOING INTO OTHER DEPARTMENTS, I THINK THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME ACTION ITEMS THAT WE CAN TAKE TODAY ON THAT ABOUT JUST WORK WITH WORK WITH STAFF TO SEE, YOU KNOW I LOOK AT AGING TREE INVENTORY.

I LOOK AT THE GAPS AND SIDEWALKS. I MEAN, THOSE ARE THOSE ARE NO BRAINERS.

WE CAN GO TAKE A LOOK AND KNOCK SOME OF THOSE OFF, OR AT LEAST DO SOME PLANNING AROUND IT.

SO I APPRECIATE I APPRECIATE THAT ONE. IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

THANK YOU. MUCH APPRECIATE IT. GREAT STUFF. OH HOLD ON.

OH JUST WE HAD WE HAD ONE SLIDE. SORRY ABOUT JUST BRIEF NEXT STEPS AFTER THIS WE'RE GOING TO TAKE I GUESS A FEEDBACK.

BEGIN TO DRAFT THE ACTUAL PLAN DOCUMENT. AND AFTER THAT WE'LL SEND IT TO INTERNAL DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE AGREES WITH WHAT WE PUT.

AND AFTER THAT, WE'LL DO SOME MORE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, HOPEFULLY THIS FALL AT THE DIFFERENT FESTIVALS JUST TO GET PEOPLE'S IDEAS BACK ON THAT.

AND THEN THE LAST PART WOULD BE FINALIZING IT, BRINGING IT TO YOU GUYS TO GET IT APPROVED AND IMPLEMENTED.

I THINK I DO WANT TO ADD ONE MORE THING AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT THE OLD TOWN CORE AND THEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE EXTENDED AREA.

I THINK WE WANT TO BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL ABOUT CHANGING THAT DYNAMIC, BECAUSE WHAT I THINK WE'VE DONE REALLY WELL HERE IS AVOID GENTRIFICATION OF THESE

[00:55:08]

GREAT. BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO WALK A LINE THERE.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF WHAT WE'VE DONE TO THIS POINT, SO I WOULD HATE TO SEE US, YOU KNOW, PUT THE GAS ON AND AND MAYBE TAKE, TAKE AWAY WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO. I AGREE.

THANK YOU ALL. APPRECIATE IT. GREAT STUFF. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE DID.

THERE WE GO. WELCOME BACK. IT IS 714. WE ARE GOING TO RESUME OUR REGULAR SESSION.

I AM GOING TO MAKE A SMALL ADJUSTMENT ON THE CALENDAR.

JUST ARE THE AGENDA ITEMS. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE THE VISITORS FORUM UP.

[D. Visitors Forum]

CITY SECRETARY, WE ONLY HAVE THE ONE COMMENT CARD.

OKAY, SO THE WE DO HAVE ONE COMMENT HERE, AND IT IS FROM MAYOR DAVID BRISTOL.

MAYOR BRISTOL, WOULD YOU MIND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE, SIR? SURE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I MY NAME IS DAVID BRISTOL AND I'M THE MAYOR OF PROSPER.

AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT YOU CHANGED THE AGENDA FOR ME.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. SO I HAVE A COUNCIL MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT, SO I'LL BE SPENDING SOME TIME IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS.

SO THE PURPOSE OF ME COMING TO VISIT YOU GUYS THIS EVENING IS TO SAY THANK YOU.

NOT JUST TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR, BUT ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, OUR CITY MANAGER, OUR TOWN COUNCIL, AND OUR PROSPER ENTIRE PROSPER FIRE RESCUE TEAM IS TO SAY THANK YOU.

AND I'M GOING TO READ A LETTER FROM OUR FIRE CHIEF TO TO EXPRESS THAT.

AND THIS IS FROM FIRE CHIEF. STEWART. DEAR CHIEF MCNEIL, I WANTED TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU AND THE MEMBERS OF THE LEWISVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE DURING THE TRAGIC DROWNING INCIDENT INVOLVING A 15 YEAR OLD IN PROSPER.

OUR ASSISTANT CHIEF CAPTURED OUR DEPARTMENT'S APPRECIATION WELL ALREADY.

BUT I WANT TO ECHO HIS SENTIMENTS WITH THE SINCERE GRATITUDE OF MY OWN.

YOUR TEAM'S IMMEDIATE RESPONSE, PROFESSIONALISM AND COMPASSION OF FACING SUCH A DIFFICULT SITUATION WHERE NOTHING SHORT OF EXTRAORDINARY.

PLEASE EXTEND MY APPRECIATION TO CHIEF MOORE AND CHIEF CECE FOR THEIR STEADY LEADERSHIP, AS WELL AS THE ENGINE TO CREW WHOSE SWIFT ACTION AND FOCUSED EFFORTS LED TO THE RECOVERY OF THE VICTIM. THEY WERE TRUE PROFESSIONALS. THEIR PRESENCE AND EXPERTISE BROUGHT COMFORT NOT ONLY TO A GRIEVING FAMILY, BUT ALSO TO THE NEARLY TWO DOZEN TEENAGERS WHO WITNESSED THIS TRAGEDY, AND TO AND TO AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY THAT WAS ANXIOUSLY HOPING FOR CLOSURE.

THIS IS A VERY UNCOMMON EVENT IN THE TOWN OF PROSPER, AND WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT. SPECIALIZED RESOURCES, YOUR SONAR EQUIPMENT AND THE BOAT WERE CRITICAL ASSETS THAT WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE IN PROSPER.

WITHOUT THEM, WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BRING CLOSURE TO THE FAMILY IN SUCH A TIMELY MANNER.

I WOULD LIKE TO SPECIFICALLY CALL OUT CHIEF CS BATTALION CHIEF MOORE, CAPTAIN JASON WEBB,

[01:00:02]

AND THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION. WHAT WE HAD WAS A GROUP OF TEENAGERS DECIDED TO TRY AND CROSS A LAKE, AND THEY WERE DECENT SWIMMERS AND OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THEM WAS NOT.

THE WHOLE GROUP OF TEENAGERS, THEN ONE OF THE ONE OF THE TEENAGERS, WENT BACK AND TRIED TO RESCUE THIS PARTICULAR VICTIM UNTIL SHE WAS EXHAUSTED AND THEN PUT HERSELF IN DANGER AT THE SAME TIME. NOT ONLY THAT, THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY LAKES THAT WE HAVE IN THE TOWN OF PROSPER, AND IT'S SITUATED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS DISTURBED BY THIS ENTIRE EVENT.

SO GETTING CLOSURE FOR THE FAMILY WHO WAS OUT THERE ON THE SHORELINE WAS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY FROM WITH OUR FIRE CHIEF THAT HE WAS HE WAS HE HAD DEPARTED THE STATION FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE AND ALREADY CALLED YOUR TEAM, AND THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY. SO WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF RESOURCES IN THE TOWN OF PROSPER.

WE'RE A GREAT COMMUNITY, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A WATER RESCUE TEAM.

SO ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, THE TOWN OF PROSPER, THANK YOU TO CHIEF NEAL.

WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. I DID BRING A MAYOR'S COIN, AND I'VE ALREADY CHANGED IT WITH CHIEF CS.

AND I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A SOMEWHERE NEAR A FIRE RESCUE PATCH THAT I WILL NOW DISPLAY PROMINENTLY IN MY OFFICE.

SO THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR BRISTOL. AND I WANT TO THANK OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

I KNOW THEY'LL GO WHEREVER THEY'RE REQUESTS AND WHEREVER THEY'RE NEEDED, BUT THAT'S JUST THAT'S HOW WE DO THINGS IN DENTON COUNTY. WE WORK TOGETHER. WE MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT OUR DEPARTMENTS AND OUR FAMILIES ARE SAFE, AND THAT WE CAN BRING CLOSURE WHEN WE HAVE TO.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY FOR THE REST OF THE MEETING.

I LOOK VERY. Y'ALL BE GOOD. ITEM C PUBLIC HEARING.

THEY WERE AMAZING. WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THEM TO WORK THROUGH, SEE IF LEWISVILLE'S INTENSIVE REVIEW PROCESS.

AND WE'RE PROUD THAT THE STAFF SUPPORTED US OR SUPPORTS THIS REQUEST.

A LITTLE, LITTLE BACKGROUND ON TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY. WE WERE BOUGHT BY CBRE IN 2007.

CBRE IS A FORTUNE 150 COMPANY. IT'S VERY INSTITUTIONAL.

IT'S NOT COUNTRY CLUB CAPITAL. OUR CAPITAL AND PARTNERS WANT TO OWN THE BEST IN CLASS REAL ESTATE LOCALLY.

WE STARTED TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY, STARTED IN DALLAS, DFW IN 1948.

WE PRIMARILY DEVELOP OFFICE, INDUSTRIAL AND MULTIFAMILY, SOME MEDICAL AND SOME DATA CENTER.

OUR INDUSTRIAL GROUP HAS DEVELOPED ABOUT 32,000,000FT², OR 48 BUILDINGS, IN THE LAST 15 YEARS AROUND THE METROPLEX.

THIS IS WHAT'S EXISTING. TWO TILT WALL OFFICE BUILDINGS, TWO MASSIVE PARKING GARAGES, A LARGE PARKING FIELD.

THE SUBURBAN OFFICE MARKET HAS BEEN DECIMATED BY THE PANDEMIC.

THIS PROPERTY WAS TAKEN BACK BY BAY AND TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY IS PURCHASING IT OUT OF FORECLOSURE.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THIS BECAUSE PART OF THE THE LANDSCAPING ON THE FRONT, THERE'S CURRENTLY A STRIP OF 16,000FT² THAT RUNS ALONG THE FRONTAGE ROAD. A 121. WE'RE ALMOST.

WE'RE PUTTING 31,000FT² OF LANDSCAPING UP FRONT.

OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS THE OLD PRESENTATION.

LET ME JUMP OVER HERE. SO AS WE WORKED WITH RICHARD MITCHELL IT WAS CLEAR THE PARAMETERS FOR THE PD MAKE IT LOOK BEAUTIFUL. PUSH IT AWAY FROM THE LAKE AND THE JOGGING TRAIL.

AND CREATE A GREEN SCREEN TO OBSTRUCT THE VIEW OF THE PROJECT ALONG THAT TRAIL.

SO YOU CAN'T SEE IN THE BACK OF THE PROJECT. SO I'M GOING TO JUMP AROUND HERE ON THIS REAL QUICK.

SO THE FIRST THING WE DID IS WE WANTED TO MAKE THE EXTERIOR OF IT LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

SO THERE ARE THERE'S 360% OUT OF TOTAL, THERE'S 360 INCREASE.

PERCENT OF THE TOTAL BREAK REQUIREMENT. LET ME GIVE YOU A PICTURE OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

SO SIMILAR PRODUCT IS CURRENTLY THERE. BUT WE DRESSED UP ALL THE ENTRIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUILDING.

[01:10:02]

THE BACK IS HIDDEN. THE DESIGN ENHANCEMENTS IS BRICK ALONG THOSE FRONT ENTRIES.

SQUARED OFF BY FORM LINERS. THERE'S GLASS ALL ACROSS THE FRONT.

AWNINGS ABOVE THAT GLASS. YOU CAN SEE THAT AS YOU LOOK AT THESE AWNINGS RIGHT HERE.

BRICK ENTRY AWNINGS. DARK BROWN ACCENT LIGHTING.

THIS IS THIS IS A SHALLOW BAY BUILDING, WHICH MEANS THERE'S MORE THINGS PERFORMED IN THE WAREHOUSE.

FOR INSTANCE, IT INSTANCE, CAN BE 100% AIR CONDITIONED TYPE.

IT COULD BE MORE TECHNOLOGY. THIS IS ALSO FOR EMPLOYERS WHO WANT THAT VISIBILITY TO ATTRACT THAT EMPLOYER EMPLOYEE.

EXCUSE ME. SO WE THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE MUCH MORE HIGHER IMAGE.

LET ME JUMP TO. SO WHEN WE PUSHED WE PUSHED THE PROJECT TO THE FRONT TO STAY AWAY FROM THE JOGGING TRAIL.

BUT WE STILL HAVE 176.5% MORE LANDSCAPING THAN WHAT'S EXISTING.

THIS IS THE DETAILS OF MORE ALONG THE TRAIL. THERE IS A 15 FOOT MINIMUM EASEMENT.

THE AVERAGE ALONG THE RUNNING JOGGING TRAIL IS 22FT.

THE DEEPEST POINT IS 50FT. THERE'S 171 TREES, AND THERE'S HEAVY, THICK VEGETATION UNDERNEATH.

SO THIS REPRESENTS ABOUT 212% OF THE REQUIRED TREES.

AND PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO REALLY VIEW THIS IS WE PUT TOGETHER SOME IMAGES, REFLECT WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE ON THE TRAIL IN YEAR ONE, YEAR FIVE, AND YEAR TEN. SO AS YOU'RE JOGGING DOWN THE TRAIL, ONCE THE BUILDINGS ARE UP AND IT'S OPEN, THIS IS YEAR ONE. YOU'LL SEE IT. IT OBSCURES THE THE BACK END OF THE PROJECT, YEAR FIVE.

I MEAN, IT'S OBVIOUSLY THE, THE SCREENING IS, IS MORE INTENSE.

AND THIS IS YEAR TEN AS THE TREES MATURED. IT CREATED FEW CORRIDORS UNDERNEATH THE TREES.

SO, RICHARD, MICHELLE SUGGESTED WE ADD SHRUBS UNDER THE TREES TO ADD ADDITIONAL SCREENING, WHICH YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE THERE.

THIS IS ACROSS THE LAKE UPON WHEN WE DELIVER.

THIS IS IN YEAR FIVE. THIS IS IN YEAR TEN. THIS IS AT THE WHAT'S GOING TO BE, I THINK, A BEER GARDEN GOING FOR IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS WHAT'S EXISTING. YOU CAN SEE THE PARKING GARAGE.

THE SIX STORY PARKING GARAGE IS AS IT'S ACROSS, ALMOST COMPLETELY ACROSS THE WAY.

YOU REALLY CAN'T SEE THE TRUCK CAUGHT IN THE BACK? YOU CAN SEE THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE LANDSCAPE IS GOING TO BE UP AGAINST THE BUILDING OR AND THEN THAT'S IN YEAR FIVE.

THAT'S IN YEAR TEN. SO ON LAKE VISTA 121, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE CORNER WE'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN THOSE THOSE TREES THAT ARE EXISTING.

THIS IS IN YOUR FIVE AND THIS IS IN YEAR TEN.

SO THIS I ACTUALLY GAVE THIS PRESENTATION RIGHT BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY TO PNC.

BUT WE'VE SPENT OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF TIME, CLAIRE, WITH YOUR TEAM, AND WORKING THROUGH THE PD, AND TO GIVE THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE ASSURANCES OF THE DESIGN QUALITY.

AND WE'RE PROUD THE STAFF IN PNC VOTED WITH SUPPORT.

SO THANK YOU. I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU SIR. COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? I'M GOOD.

OKAY I HAD SOME BUT THEY'VE BEEN ANSWERED. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT. I WAS GOING TO MAKE ONE COMMENT BECAUSE I ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS HAS TO DO WITH THE TRAFFIC.

THE TRUCK TRAFFIC. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TRAFFIC ITSELF IS GOING TO BE A LESSER INTENSITY THAN IT WOULD BE FOR, YOU KNOW, PEAK OFFICE TRAFFIC. DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? OH, OKAY. SORRY. BUT I I'M WORRIED ABOUT THOSE TRUCKS TRYING TO TURN OUT ONTO THE FRONTAGE ROAD.

I DID NOTICE THAT THERE LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE TAKEN ONE OF THOSE DRIVEWAYS OUT.

SO THAT MAKES ME FEEL A LITTLE BIT BETTER, BECAUSE WHAT I'M LOOKING AT, THERE'S THREE DRIVEWAYS ONTO THE FRONTAGE ROAD AND NOW THERE'S ONLY TWO.

DID I GET THAT RIGHT? IS THAT RIGHT? WE ACTUALLY HAD THE PLAN.

WE COULD PUT IT BACK UP. OH, HERE WE GO. YEAH, THAT IS CORRECT. THERE WILL BE ONLY TWO DRIVEWAYS ON STATE OR THE SAM RAYBURN TOLLWAY

[01:15:02]

BUT OVERALL, WE FEEL LIKE THIS WILL WORK IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC.

ARE THERE GOING TO BE ANY IS THE TRAFFIC STUDY RECOMMENDING ANY ACCELERATION LANES? I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT TRUCKS TURNING ONTO ONE.

THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO BE TAKING A RIGHT ONTO THE SERVICE ROAD.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE COMING OUT INTO MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT RIGHT TURN.

BUT THEN LIKE JUST ACCELERATING, I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE COMING DOWN THAT FRONTAGE ROAD.

AND THEN THERE'S A TRUCK THAT'S JUST PULLED OUT.

I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GOING TO GENERATE A SITUATION WHERE WE'VE GOT SOME PROBLEMS? YES. AND SO THERE WERE THREE MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE TRAFFIC STUDY.

THOSE WERE TO INSTALL THE RIGHT TURN DECELERATION LANES.

SO AS YOU'RE COMING INTO THE SITE AND THEN TO LOOK AT SIGHTLINES AS YOU'RE EXITING, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN LOOK LEFT AND RIGHT.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE THE TRAFFIC. SO IT'S REALLY MORE ABOUT ENSURING SIGHTLINE VISIBILITY THAN HAVING AN ACCELERATION LANE.

AND THEN THE THIRD ONE WAS TO REVIEW THE SIGNAL TIMING AT THE LIGHT AT SAM RAYBURN TOLLWAY IN LAKE VISTA DRIVE, WHICH IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WILL DO AND THAT WE'RE AWARE OF. SO WE WILL LOOK INTO THAT. OKAY.

PARTICULARLY I WAS WORRIED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A DRIVEWAY THAT'S ON TO.

ONTO THE SERVICE ROAD. AND IT IT COMES OUT ONTO THE SERVICE ROAD ALMOST RIGHT WHERE THE THE LANE FOR THE TEXAS U-TURN STARTS. I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT TRUCKS TRYING TO COME OUT OF THAT DRIVEWAY AND CUT ACROSS THE WHOLE FRONTAGE ROAD.

IS THERE A WAY THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PREVENT THAT MOVEMENT? THAT DID NOT COME UP IN THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REVIEW, BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING I CAN TALK TO OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ABOUT. OKAY. I MEAN, I WOULD I THINK IT WOULD JUST BE A WHOLE MUCH IT WOULD BE SO MUCH SAFER IF THE TRUCKS WOULD IF THEY NEED TO GO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON 121, IF THEY WOULD COME OUT ONTO LAKE VISTA AND GO THROUGH THE LIGHT TO TAKE THAT LEFT VERSUS TRYING TO CUT ACROSS THE WHOLE FRONTAGE ROAD TO CATCH THAT TEXAS U-TURN. IF WE CAN SOMEHOW WORK THAT IN.

THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL A LOT BETTER. ONE COMMENT I WOULD MAKE.

WE'VE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THESE. TEXAS U-TURNS AND DRIVEWAYS BEING FAIRLY CLOSE.

THE SERVICE ROAD IS OWNED AND OPERATED BY TEX DOT AND AND WE'VE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES IN THE PAST, AND TEX DOT HAS BEEN RELUCTANT TO ALLOW ANY KIND OF BARRIER THAT WOULD KEEP PEOPLE FROM TURNING INTO THAT U-TURN LANE. SO I GUESS ALL I WOULD SAY WAS, YOU KNOW, WE'LL CERTAINLY VISIT WITH TEX DOT ABOUT THAT AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND. BUT OUR BATTING RECORD WITH TEXT ON THESE TYPES OF ISSUES IS NOT VERY HIGH.

YEAH. AND I'M NOT NECESSARILY ASKING FOR A PHYSICAL BARRIER.

WHAT I'M ASKING FOR IS FOR A. I KNOW IN THE PAST WE'VE WORKED WITH YOU KNOW, A DEVELOPER THAT COMES IN AND WE SAY, OKAY, WELL, WE DON'T WANT THIS CERTAIN TRAFFIC ON THIS ROAD.

CAN YOU HAVE THE TRUCKS EXIT THIS WAY INSTEAD? AND THAT AND THAT GOES INTO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S INCORPORATED INTO THEIR, THEIR PD OR THEIR ZONING.

I'M NOT QUITE SURE EXACTLY HOW WE'VE WORKED THAT, BUT I KNOW WE HAVE DONE THAT ON OTHER PROJECTS AND WE'VE DONE THAT.

HERE WE ARE. WE PUT SIGNS UP. WE DO NOT WANT TRUCKS ENTERING ONTO LAKE VISTA TO GO RIGHT, THOUGH THAT CLEARLY WOULD SOLVE YOUR ISSUE WITH GOING OUT ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD AND GOING TO U-TURN IF IT WENT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE OTHER STREET AND TURNED IT, BECAUSE THERE'S A LIGHT THERE. SO THERE IS THE SERVICE ROAD.

YES. YEAH. SO WE'RE TRYING TO. WE WERE TRYING TO KEEP TRUCKS FROM ACTUALLY ENTERING LAKE VISTA AND GOING.

RIGHT. INSTEAD, WE WANTED THEM TO GO LEFT. SO IS THERE A WAY TO.

I'M SORRY. IS THERE A WAY TO FUNNEL THE TRUCK TRAFFIC? THE ENTRANCE. THE ENTRANCE, I DON'T THINK IS GOING TO BE AS BIG OF A PROBLEM COMING IN TO THE AREA, BUT HAVING THEM EXIT LAKE VISTA, PERIOD. OH, HAVE THEM EXIT LIKE THIS.

YEAH. SO THAT THEY'RE NOT EXITING IN FRONT OF.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THEM EXITING AND ONLY GOING LEFT.

[01:20:03]

HEAD TO HEAD TO THE LIGHT IF YOU'RE EXITING. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? UNLIKE VISTA. UNLIKE VISTA. VISTA. YEAH. YEAH.

WHICH IS. YEAH. WHICH IS WHAT I THINK THEY WOULD DO RIGHT AWAY.

YEAH. COUNCILMEMBER GREEN IS ADVOCATING FOR THAT. SHE WANTS TRAFFIC COMING OUT.

BUT WHAT WHAT RONNI IS SUGGESTING. I'M SUGGESTING THAT ALL THE EXIT THE THE TRUCK TRAFFIC, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE THE HUGE TRUCKS AND PEOPLE FLYING DOWN THE SERVICE ROAD IS HAVE THESE THAT THIS IS THE IT'S OKAY TO ENTER ON THESE DRIVES. BUT WHEN THEY'RE EXITING THE SAFER WAY WOULD BE TO DEDICATE OR FUNNEL THE TRUCKS EXIT THROUGH THE LAKE VISTA DRIVE AREA.

IS THERE A REASON THAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT THERE'S NO RIGHTS ON LAKE VISTA? YEAH. WE DIDN'T WANT THIS. THAT WAS A STAFF SUGGESTION, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT THE TRUCKS TO BE GOING AROUND LAKE VISTA AND TRAVELING ON LOCAL ROADS. WE WANTED TO FUNNEL THEM TO WHERE THEY WERE ULTIMATELY GOING, WHICH WAS THE HIGHWAY, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I MEAN, I HAVE TO IMAGINE MOST OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE HEADING DIRECTLY TO THE HIGHWAY ANYWAY.

YES. WE IMAGINE THEY DON'T WANT TO. WE JUST. THEY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE ON OUR LOCAL STREETS EITHER. BUT WE'RE OFFICIALLY, YOU KNOW, PUTTING UP SIGNS SAYING NO TRUCKS GOING.

RIGHT. OKAY. SO ARE YOU LOOKING TO ADD LANGUAGE TO THIS TONIGHT, OR ARE YOU JUST ASKING FOR A COMMITMENT FROM TRAMMELL CROW TO TO ADVOCATE FOR SIGNAGE THAT DIRECTS ON TO LAKE VISTA? I MEAN, I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO HEARING WHAT TRAMMELL CROW HAS TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

I MEAN, ARE YOU IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO COMMIT TO? IT'S A IT'S A REALLY GOOD EXECUTION FOR THEM TO GO.

THERE'S NOTHING IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN, THERE'S NOTHING THERE BETWEEN THAT EXIT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ON LAKE VISTA, RIGHT? WE WENT WE WERE ORIGINALLY TALKING ABOUT THE THE FRONTAGE ROAD.

NOW WE'VE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LAKE VISTA. THAT THAT EXIT GOING LEFT THERE SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM.

YES IT DOES. AND SO YOU KNOW, IF I, IF YOU'RE A TRUCK AND THAT TRAFFIC IS REALLY BUSY, THE NICE THING IS YOU HAVE A STOP SIGN THAT STOPS THERE AND IT ALLOWS ALL THE TRAFFIC TO, TO SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP.

AND IT'S EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO MANEUVER. NOW THEN, IF A TRUCK IS HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING ACROSS THERE TO GET TO THE THE TEXAS U-TURN, THEY HAVE LAKE VISTA TO GO LEFT ON AND GO AND GO TO THE SIGNALS.

SO I THINK I THINK IT IT WORKS WELL FOR THE WAY IT'S THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED.

OKAY. SO I GUESS WHAT I'M HEARING YOU SAYING IS THAT YOU FEEL LIKE THERE'S PROBABLY NO NEED TO, TO ADD ANY ANY LANGUAGE TO THE PD THAT SAYS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROHIBIT TRUCK TRAFFIC FROM EXITING ONTO THE SERVICE ROAD AND TAKING THE U-TURN THAT WE'RE GOING TO FUNNEL THEM OUT TO LAKE VISTA INSTEAD.

I THINK THAT WOULD NOT BE BENEFICIAL FOR ALL OF US, I THINK.

TRUCK TRAFFIC EXITING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE ONTO THE FRONTAGE ROAD.

THAT'S WHAT THE FRONTAGE ROAD IS DESIGNED FOR.

AND SO I THINK IT WOULD NOT BE BENEFICIAL FOR FOR ALL OF US IF WE SAID NO TRUCK TRAFFIC ONTO ONTO THE FRONTAGE ROAD.

I'M NOT NECESSARILY WORRIED ABOUT TRUCK TRAFFIC ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD.

I DON'T WANT THEM TO GO TRY TO TAKE THAT U-TURN.

AND I'M I'M NOT. I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY THEY WOULD BE GOING, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD BE LIKE A BEATEN PATH OVER TO THE TEXAS U-TURN.

WOULD THIS BE SOMETHING THAT IF WE SAW REGULAR ISSUES THERE, THAT WE COULD COME BACK AND AND MAKE SOME CHANGES, OR WOULD WE BE STUCK? THAT WAS THE NEXT QUESTION I HAD.

CAN WE GO BACK LATER AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS HERE OR WHATEVER WE WANT TO WE WANT TO RESTRICT THIS TURNING MOVEMENT OUT OF THIS DRIVEWAY.

SO HOW DO WE DO THAT? WE SO IT WOULDN'T BE THROUGH THE PD AT THAT POINT IN TIME, RIGHT? RIGHT. BECAUSE THE PD WOULDN'T SPEAK TO IT. AND SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT COULD BE DONE SINCE THAT'S A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY ONTO A TEXT ROADWAY.

YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. I'M STRUGGLING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE WOULD ENFORCE THAT.

BECAUSE. BECAUSE IT'S A PRIVATE. IT'S A PRIVATE DRIVE.

YEAH. I MEAN. ALTHOUGH I THINK IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH OF THESE, THE BUILDING AND THE FACILITY WOULD WANT TO LOOK TO FIND A SAFER WAY TO DO IT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE WANT.

YEAH. SO I FEEL LIKE IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LOT EASIER FOR THEM TO TO EXIT ON LAKE VISTA ANYWAY BECAUSE THAT THE SERVICE ROAD BACKS UP THERE.

[01:25:02]

YOU COULD SEE WHERE YOU COULD GO LEFT THERE. YEAH. YOU GOT TWO FOR TWO DIFFERENT. IT BECAME A PROBLEM. I MEAN, TRUCK'S NOT GOING TO WANT TO STICK THEIR NOSE OUT THERE EITHER, IF THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO GET STUCK OR BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO LET THEM IN.

IT IS 400. IT'S APPROXIMATELY ROUGHLY 400FT FROM THAT DRIVEWAY TO WHERE THE TEXAS U-TURN IS.

JUST TO GIVE A SENSE OF THE SCALE AND DISTANCE THERE.

I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE THE TAPER FOR THAT TEXAS U-TURN STARTS PRETTY MUCH IMMEDIATELY WHERE THAT DRIVEWAY IS.

IT WOULD BE THE THE TAPER DOES. IT'S MAYBE 100FT FROM FOR WHERE THE TAPER STARTS AND THEN WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE U-TURN KIND OF PULL AWAY AND SEPARATE. IT'S ABOUT 400. IT'S A LOT. ARE YOU LOOKING AT EXISTING DRIVEWAYS? ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE PROPOSED DRIVEWAYS ABOUT MIDWAY BETWEEN THE TWO EXISTING DRIVEWAYS? YEAH. SO THAT'S WHERE I'M MEASURING FROM. YEAH.

THE START TAPERING HERE ACTUALLY NO FURTHER BACK.

KEEP GOING. RIGHT ABOUT THERE. RIGHT THERE. YEAH.

AND IS THERE AN EXIT OVER HERE? TO THE LEFT. IS THERE AN EXIT COMING OFF OF SAM RAYBURN ONTO.

NO. IT'S BACK. IT'S. THERE'S A LIGHT BACK THERE. NO, NO, THERE'S NOT AN EXIT THERE.

YEAH, THERE'S A THERE'S AN INTERSECTION THAT'S JUST UNDERNEATH THAT. AND IT'S A LIGHT.

THERE'S AN ON RAMP THERE. YEAH. I THINK THERE'S AN ON RAMP RIGHT PAST THAT INTERSECTION.

IT'S PRETTY WIDE OVER THERE. I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC AND I DON'T.

AND THE SIGHTLINES ARE REALLY GOOD. SO BUT YOU KNOW SPEED DOES.

SPEED DOES BECAUSE IT'S WIDE AND GOOD SIGHTLINES.

SPEED CAN BE AN ISSUE. I'M OF THE OPINION THOUGH, THAT THEY HAVE LAKE VISTA AND THEY'VE GOT PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS.

MIGHT AS WELL. I DON'T I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO NECESSARILY TRY AND FIND SOME LANGUAGE TO ADD TO THE PD AT THIS POINT.

I MEAN, IF THERE'S REALLY NOTHING THAT WE CAN ADD IN THERE THAT WOULD HELP.

I JUST I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT CONCERN OUT THERE.

THAT'S FAIR. THE LOADING DOCKS ARE ALL IN THE REAR OF THE.

YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. AND EACH OF THOSE LITTLE SQUARES IS A SINGLE DOCK.

IS THAT RIGHT? RIGHT. I WOULD THINK THAT. OR IS THAT.

YEAH. YEAH. EACH ONE OF THOSE SQUARES THAT YOU SEE IN THERE ARE ARE DOCTORS.

IS THAT AN ACTUAL OR IS THAT A YES? THAT'S THAT'S IT.

IT IS PRETTY MUCH AN ACTUAL. SO THEY ARE VERY LIMITED IN THE AMOUNT OF DOCTORS THAT THEY CAN HAVE BASED ON THESE PD REGULATIONS.

SO WHAT YOU SEE ON THERE, THEY COULD SHIFT THE POSITION OF THOSE ALONG THOSE BACK WALLS, BUT THEY MAY ONLY ADD ONE MORE TO EACH BUILDING THAN WHAT YOU SEE ON THIS EXHIBIT.

SO AS A TRUCK DRIVER, IF I WAS A TRUCK DRIVER, I WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER.

THE FLOW GOING OUT LIKE VISTA AS IT STANDS ALREADY, THAT'S GOING TO BE A NATURAL FLOW FOR THEM.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE AS MUCH TRAFFIC ON LAKE VISTA. THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH, CORRECT.

AND I WILL SAY OUR INTENT AND I THINK WHAT Y'ALL'S INTENT ARE, WHAT WE WOULD LIKE THERE IS THIS REALLY IS GOING TO BE HIGHER FINISHED PRODUCT.

AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE MORE MORE EMPLOYEES, LESS TRUCKING INTENSIVE.

AND THAT REALLY IS I MEAN, WE'RE THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PRODUCT WE'RE PUTTING THERE, AND IT REQUIRES HIGHER RENTS AND IT REQUIRES.

SO THAT MEANS MORE FINISH OUT, MORE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

AND SO OUR HOPE AND IF YOU GO TO BUILDINGS LIKE THIS FOR INSTANCE THAT THAT ARE HIGHER FINISHED, THEY REALLY HAVE FEWER TRUCKS. AND THAT REALLY IS WHAT I THINK THAT'S REALLY I MEAN, WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BE A SUCCESS.

THAT'S OUR GOAL. OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YEAH, I WOULD JUST COMMENT, I WOULD. I THINK WHEN THIS CAME THROUGH, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS WHAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE. SO I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT HAVING AN ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION BACKGROUND. I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO THIS. I MEAN, YOU THOUGHT ABOUT ALMOST EVERYTHING. SO I THINK THAT SAYS A LOT THAT WHAT TRAMMELL CROW HAS DONE FOR THIS, BECAUSE THIS COULD NOT COULD HAVE GONE WAY WORSE.

SO I THIS IS A GREAT, I THINK, ALMOST A BETTER PRODUCT THAN WHAT'S SITTING ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR. KERKORIAN, I THINK I THINK YOU'VE GOTTEN ALL OUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

ALL RIGHT. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. THERE ARE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS OR ANY FURTHER COMMENTS.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION. A SECOND COUNCIL, IF YOU PLEASE, VOTE. MOTION PASSES.

SIX TO NOTHING. COUNCIL. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

[01:30:05]

SECOND MOVE TO APPROVE AND A SECOND COUNCIL, IF YOU PLEASE, VOTE.

MOTION PASSES SIX TO NOTHING. THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM E CONSENT AGENDA. ALL THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SELF-EXPLANATORY BY THE COUNCIL WILL BE ENACTED WITH ONE MOTION.

[E. Consent Agenda]

SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND COUNCIL, PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM F TEN REGULAR HEARING.

[F. Regular Hearing]

THE PLAN WILL HELP GUIDE THE CITY'S GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE NEXT DECADE. ONE OF THE STEPS IN THIS PROCESS IS TO FORM A STEERING COMMITTEE, MADE UP OF ENGAGED RESIDENTS WHO WILL ASSIST IN DEVELOPING THE PLAN OVER THE NEXT 18 MONTHS. COMMITTEE MEMBERS WILL PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC MEETINGS, SERVE ON FOCUSED SUBCOMMITTEES, REPRESENT DIVERSE COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVES, AND HELP PROMOTE THE PLANNING PROCESS AT THE JULY 7TH, 2025 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. ALL APPLICANTS TO THE 2035 STEERING COMMITTEE WERE APPOINTED BY THE COUNCIL DUE TO CONTINUED INTEREST EXPRESSED BY RESIDENTS WISHING TO SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE, THE COUNCIL EXTENDED THE APPLICATION DEADLINE TO JULY 18TH, 2025 AT 5 P.M..

IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER THE ADDITIONAL APPOINTMENTS TO THE 2035 STEERING COMMITTEE. COUNCIL I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION MOVE TO APPOINT ALL ADDITIONAL APPLICANTS TO THE 2035 STEERING COMMITTEE. SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND COUNCIL IF YOU PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION PASSES SIX TO NOTHING. VERY EXCITED THAT WE ARE DOUBLING THE AMOUNT OF PARTICIPANTS FROM THE 2025 PLAN TO THE 2035, AND I'M ALSO DOUBLY EXCITED THAT WE'VE ACCEPTED EVERYONE WHO SHOWED AN INTEREST, EXPRESSED AN INTEREST, AND FILLED OUT THAT FORM. SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH.

I, I KNOW WHEN WE DID THE LAST PLAN, IT WAS IT WAS AMAZING AND IT WAS GROUNDBREAKING FOR OUR CITY.

AND I THINK THIS WILL CONTINUE THAT TREND BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GREAT INPUT FROM A LOT OF FOLKS.

SO I HOPE YOU ALL PUT IN GOOD WORK BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE YOU.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP WE HAVE ITEM 11 CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS TO VARIOUS CITY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES.

[G. Reports]

[01:40:05]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THE LAKE LEVEL.

I'M SORRY. IT'S AT 100%, THOUGH, RIGHT? SO I DO WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

GOOD EVENING. I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE WEEKEND OF JULY 13TH AND 14TH.

WHERE WE HAD A STREAM OF WATER MAIN BREAKS AND JUST GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE OUTCOME OF THOSE.

SO ON SATURDAY, JULY 13TH, WE DID EXPERIENCE A WATER MAIN BREAK ON THE 12 INCH WATER LINE.

JUST TO GIVE YOU KIND OF A SUMMARY OF EVENTS THE, THE WATER PLAN OBSERVED THE TANKS STARTING TO DROP.

THEY DID INCREASE FLOW AND WERE ABLE TO BASICALLY MAINTAIN THE TANK LEVELS.

SO THAT INDICATED THAT WE HAD A LARGE WATER MAIN BREAK.

THE THE INTERESTING PART ABOUT THAT IS IN THE AREA WHERE IT HAD TO BE BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT WAS AFFECTING THE TANKS.

WE WE HAD VERY LIMITED AREAS WHERE WATER LINES WERE NOT IN STREETS.

SO IT WAS STRANGE TO US THAT THE WATER MAIN BREAK HAD NOT BEEN REPORTED.

SO WHEN YOU'RE LOSING THAT MUCH WATER, TYPICALLY YOU HAVE WATER GOING HIGH IN THE AIR AND YOU'RE MAKING A BIG HOLE.

SO PEOPLE REPORT THAT VERY QUICKLY. SO WE DISPATCHED CREWS TO START LOOKING FOR THAT WATER MAIN BREAK.

AT ONE POINT WE WERE EVEN EXPLORING POSSIBILITIES THAT THE THAT IT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO A SEWER LINE, THAT THE WATER WAS GOING DIRECTLY IN A MANHOLE OR SOMETHING.

BUT THROUGH JUST DILIGENT EFFORTS AND SCOURING THE MAPS, WE WERE ABLE TO FIND THAT MAIN BREAK.

AND IT WAS ACTUALLY ON CITY OF LEWISVILLE SITE, OUR TIMBER CREEK LIFT STATION.

THE REASON WE WERE ON IT, IT TOOK US A LITTLE WHILE TO FIND IT.

IS THAT IS BEHIND A SECURITY WALL SO IT'S NOT VISIBLE.

BUT THE GOOD WORK OF OUR EMPLOYEES, WE DID FIND THAT THE GREAT PART ABOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS WAS WE WERE ABLE TO, THROUGH THE MAINTENANCE OR THE EFFORTS OF OUR WATER PLANT AND OUR CREWS.

THE PUBLIC NEVER EVEN KNEW THIS WAS GOING ON BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LOSE PRESSURE. NO ONE LOST SERVICE.

SO WE DID GET A CREW OUT TO REPAIR THAT MAIN BREAK.

THEN AFTER A LONG SATURDAY. SUNDAY WE HAD A ANOTHER MAIN BREAK ON A 20 INCH MAIN IN CASTLEHILL HILLS NEAR THE GOLF COURSE. THAT ONE WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTING BECAUSE IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO A CO SERV TRANSFORMER.

WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED CO SERVE OUT TO MAKE SURE THE AREA WAS SAFE BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW WATER AND ELECTRICITY DON'T EXACTLY AREN'T GOOD PARTNERS.

THE CASTLE HILLS RESIDENTS. SO THE AREA DOES HAVE TWO FEEDS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT 20 INCH WATER LINE, THERE'S A 12 INCH THAT SERVES THAT AREA AS WELL.

SO THEY DID NOT LOSE SERVICE. HOWEVER, WHEN WE SHUT THAT LINE DOWN.

THERE WAS SOME OF THE RESIDENTS PROBABLY EXPERIENCED SOME LOWER PRESSURES, WHICH WE DID NOTIFY AHEAD OF ACTUALLY TURNING THAT WATER LINE OFF.

THE ONLY PLACE THAT LOST SERVICE WAS THE CLUBHOUSE, THE CASTLE HILLS CLUBHOUSE.

WE DID COMMUNICATE WITH THEM AHEAD OF TIME BEFORE WE TURNED THEIR WATER OFF.

THAT LEAK WAS ISOLATED SUCCESSFULLY, AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED AS WELL.

AND THEN, JUST BECAUSE IT WAS SO MUCH FUN, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, WE DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE STREAK AND HAVE ANOTHER LEAK ON A 24 INCH MAIN ON MONDAY.

THAT ONE WAS LOCATED AT VALLEY RIDGE AND 121.

UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THAT LEAK WE DID HAVE SEVERAL BUSINESSES THAT LOST SERVICE WHEN WE SHUT THE WATER MAIN DOWN, INCLUDING REPUBLIC COLLECTIONS, U-HAUL, AND A CAR WASH THAT HAS SINCE BEEN RESTORED AS WELL.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THIS IS AN EFFORT THAT TAKES MULTIPLE DIVISIONS WORKING TOGETHER WITHIN PUBLIC SERVICES.

TO NOT JUST HAVE A HAVE A SUCCESSFUL REPAIR OF THE WATER LINE, BUT TO REALLY OUR MAIN FOCUS IS TO LIMIT THE IMPACT ON THE PUBLIC.

SO THE GREAT SUCCESS IS THAT FIRST ONE IS KNOWING THE PUBLIC DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

AND THAT'S ALWAYS OUR GOAL. SO, YOU KNOW, WE LET THE ULM CREW REALLY LED THE CHARGE.

THE UTILITY LINE MAINTENANCE LED THE CHARGE, BUT THAT INCLUDES WORKING WITH THE WATER PLANT, COORDINATING HOW HARD THEY'RE PUMPING. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN TANK LEVELS EVEN WITH THE WASTEWATER PLANT, BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY ON THAT FIRST ONE THAT THAT THE WATER WAS GOING DOWN THE SEWER PLANT MAINTENANCE AND THEN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.

THAT'S OUR GROUP THAT GOES IN AND MAKES SURE THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE DON'T HAVE TO MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.

AND THEN IF WE DO HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, THOSE GET REPORTED TO TC CORRECTLY.

I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE CAITLIN HERRON, WHO IS OUR UTILITIES ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OVER UTILITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY,

[01:45:05]

SO OUR OUR OUR, OUR UTILITY LINE MAINTENANCE SUPERINTENDENT LEFT FOR MILITARY LEAVE.

AND SO OUR INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT HAS BEEN ON THE JOB FOR WAS ABOUT ABOUT TWO WEEKS.

SO I GAVE HIM ONE JOB WHEN, WHEN WE, WHEN WE PUSHED HIM.

I SAID, DON'T LET ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN. I TOLD HIM WHEN WE GOT BACK THAT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE HE MADE EVERYTHING BETTER.

BUT STEPHANIE CHRISTIAN IS ANOTHER. SHE IS OUR INTERIM FOREMAN, AND SHE DID A FANTASTIC JOB JUST IN THE FIELD.

SUPERVISING CREWS AND TAKING CHARGE OF THE SITUATION.

AND I'LL GO DOWN THE LIST REAL QUICK. THE ANGEL, ANGEL MONTES, COREY MARTINEZ, DARIUS MITCHELL, KEITH. OH, AND AUSTIN WADE, WAYLON WILLIAMS ALAN ULM, AND THEN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY FRED HARDING, ASHLEY MELDRUM, AND THEN AT THE WATER PLANT, ERICK MARTINEZ, ALEX PHAM DAVID RAUSCH, TONY HAWKINS AND CEDRIC WEST FROM THE WASTEWATER PLANT. SO IT WAS A BIG TEAM WORKING TOGETHER, AND IT WAS HONESTLY WISH IT HADN'T BEEN ON A WEEKEND, BUT IT WAS FUN TO BE TO WATCH THE TEAM AND BE A PART OF THAT AND GREATLY APPRECIATE IT AND KNOW IT WAS A TON OF HARD WORK TO TO GET THAT ALL UP AND RUNNING.

AND IT'S AWESOME THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE AN UPROAR ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

IT WAS IT WAS PRETTY, PRETTY COOL. SO I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS DO TO KEEP THE SYSTEM TOGETHER.

NEXT UP WE HAVE CITY ENGINEER DAVID SELMAN. WELL, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE CITY HAS RECEIVED A HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GRANT FROM TEX DOT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT FM 544 AND KILLIAN MIDDLE SCHOOL.

WITH THIS TYPE OF GRANT, THE RECIPIENT PAYS FOR AND PROVIDES THE DESIGN.

AND THEN TEXT ACTUALLY BIDS AND BUILDS THE SIGNAL.

THE ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST FOR THE SIGNAL IS $750,000.

THE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING WILL BE AVAILABLE IN FISCAL YEAR 27, WITH CONSTRUCTION OCCURRING IN FISCAL YEAR 28.

AND SO STAFF WILL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE DESIGN CONTRACT.

AND WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT FORWARD TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT THIS IS THE FOURTH CIP GRANT THAT THE CITY HAS RECEIVED, AND I WANTED TO GIVE CREDIT TO OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER FOR KEEPING UP WITH THE APPLICATION CYCLE AND FOR CONSISTENTLY SUBMITTING A SUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS.

THAT'S GREAT. GREAT NEWS. IT'LL BE AWESOME FOR THE TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA, TOO.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP, DIRECTOR OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES AND INSPECTION SERVICES, MR. CHRIS MCGINN. MAYOR, COUNCIL, I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE ON OUR PROPERTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM AND WHERE THINGS HAVE MOVED TOWARDS SINCE WE STARTED THE PROGRAM BACK IN 2016. THIS IS A GRANT THAT THAT PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES WITH EXTERIOR REPAIR, RENOVATIONS AND SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR TO THEIR HOME OR THEIR FRONT YARD.

IT'S IT'S REALLY DESIGNED TO RENOVATE YOUR, YOUR, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND IT PROVIDES UP TO A 50% OF THE COST OF THE PROJECT.

ALL HOMEOWNERS ARE ELIGIBLE, NO MATTER THEIR INCOME.

UP TO $1,000. AND IF A HOMEOWNER QUALIFIES AS LOW TO MODERATE, THEY'RE ELIGIBLE UP TO $5,000.

SO. SO SINCE WE'VE STARTED THIS PROGRAM, JUST LOOKING AT TOTAL PROJECTS.

AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY, 405 PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND WE HAVE 42 PROJECTS IN THE WORKS.

SO SHOUT OUT TO OUR OUR OUR GRANT SPECIALIST, BRIAN MCBRIEN, FOR REALLY PUSHING THIS, THIS PROGRAM ALONG.

48% OF THE APPLICANTS QUALIFIED AS LOW TO MODERATE INCOME, AND 44% OF THOSE APPLICANTS ARE 62 YEARS OR OLDER.

THOSE PROJECTS MAINLY IN THREE, THREE AREAS. PROJECTS FOR FENCES, 31%, 13% OF THOSE ARE WINDOWS.

12% ARE PAINTING PROJECTS. BUT I THINK LOOKING AT THE FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.

IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE AND WHAT KIND OF CITY THAT WE ARE.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE'VE ALLOCATED OVER $1 MILLION OUT TO THE PUBLIC ADMINISTERED FUNDS OUT TO THE PUBLIC FOR THESE PROGRAMS. AND YOU KNOW, THIS HAS GONE BACK OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY, AND IT'S JUST REALLY AWESOME TO SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW THIS HOW THIS PROGRAM HAS THIS GRANT PROGRAM HAS REALLY PROGRESSED.

WELL, I WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR FOR CONTINUING TO KEEP THAT OUT AND IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.

[01:50:02]

AND I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS, THIS WAS OUR GOAL WAS TO BE ABLE TO HELP OUR SENIORS, HELP PEOPLE TO AGE IN PLACE, BE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE STAY IN THEIR HOMES.

I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE HELP PROVIDE A FLOOR FOR FOLKS SO THAT WE CAN PREVENT HOMELESSNESS FROM OCCURRING.

WHICH IS WHICH IS A BIG PART OF I THINK, THE CONVERSATION WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS. SO I'M PROUD OF STAFF FOR FOR TAKING THE BALL AND RUNNING WITH IT.

I'M PROUD OF OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT TEAM FOR BEING ABLE TO USE THIS AS A CARROT, AS OPPOSED TO JUST ALWAYS USING A STICK.

AND I AGREE WITH YOU. IT'S IT'S PART OF THE CULTURE OF THIS CITY TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN, HOW WE CAN PROVIDE THOSE RESOURCES AND HELP MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND HELP PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, STAY IN THE HOME THAT THAT THEY PROBABLY LIVED IN MOST OF THEIR LIFE. SO.

GREAT JOB STAFF, YOU GUYS. IT'S A IT'S AN AMAZING TESTAMENT TO YOUR WORK BECAUSE WE COULD JUST LET IT SIT THERE AND FOUND OR IT COULD IT COULD BE CHALLENGING BUT IT'S NOT.

I HAVE ACTUALLY SOME CLOSE FRIENDS WHO WERE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PROGRAM A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK, AND IT WAS A GAME CHANGER FOR THEM AND THEIR PROPERTY.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
