Jul 21, 2025 City Council

GO. SHE'S LIKE, SHE'S LOCKED DOWN HERE. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE

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

[00:00:08]

SORRY, THREE ITEMS ON THE WORKSHOP TONIGHT. FIRST UP, WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. SO FIRST OFF WE HAVE INVOCATION WITH COUNCIL MEMBER KELLY. AND WE HAVE THE PLEDGE TO FLAGS FOR MAYOR PRO TEM RONNIE CADE. ITEM C1 PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF 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 NEAR I-35. REAL QUICK ABOUT THAT ONE. SO THIS IS OVER 25FT. IS THAT GOING TO BE 100FT? 1000FT. IS THERE ANY DID I MISS WHAT THE HEIGHT WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE ON THAT? I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE TOTALING 105FT, FIVE FEET. AND DOES THAT GIVE PEOPLE BY RIGHT NOW THEY CAN MAKE IT 200FT IF THEY WANT TO DO THAT, TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL TO DO THAT AGAIN. I BELIEVE IT'S LIMITED. BUT MICHELLE MARTIN LIMITED. SO THE BOY, IT'S DOING 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 CONFIGURE ANOTHER ANTENNA, BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S ONLY LIKE TEN FEET ON THAT BEFORE WE CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT AGAIN. BUT WE HAVE TO CHECK WITH FCC RULES. AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS. CAN YOU TRANSLATE CAN YOU SPEAK UP, PLEASE? JUST REPEAT 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. 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. THERE'S ONE. THERE'S BOATS ON THIS THING. 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 THAT. ITEM THREE. THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. ITEM THREE IS REZONING OF 20 ACRES AT 800 STATE HIGHWAY ONE, 21 LAKE VISTA DRIVE, FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. WE DO HAVE TRAMMELL CROW. SCOTT KRIKORIAN WILL BE PRESENTING THIS, AND 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 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 THEN 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 LANDSCAPING 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 TO CLARIFY, WHEN THEY SUBMITTED 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 IN WHEN WE WHEN WE GO OUT THERE. PLEASE COME ON IN.

[00:05:01]

EVERYTHING. IS THAT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE THAT WITH THE CONTRACT FOR THAT? I THINK SO, COUNCIL HILLS DIDN'T WE KNOW WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT? THIS IS JUST CONTINUATION. IT'S COOL STUFF. I HEAR IT'S GOING TO BE FILMED AT AT A COLDPLAY CONCERT. THAT WAS SO BAD. MOVING ON. ITEM SEVEN APPROVAL OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TEAGUE AND PERKINS FOR RIGHT OF WAY SERVICES FOR HOLFORD'S 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 THINK THE RIGHT OF WAY. THERE IS SOME MONEY FOR SOME DESIGN MODIFICATIONS IN THIS NUMBER. YES, IN THIS NUMBER, SIMPLY BECAUSE ONCE WE START CONTACTING THESE FOLKS, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO RUN INTO. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO AVOID CONDEMNATION BY ADJUSTING THE DESIGN OR TRY TO DO THAT. OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH. I JUST GOT A LITTLE BIT OF STICKER SHOCK AND I WAS LIKE 17 PARCELS FOR $520,000. IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT. SEVERAL OF THESE HAVE HOMES ON THEM. IT'S THE RELOCATION. 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. AND WHAT IS THE RELOCATION SERVICE. WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL AS YOU HAVE TO LIKE. WELL YOU COULD SAY WELL I MEAN YEAH PROBABLY TO MOVE PEOPLE AND THEIR CONTENTS AND PROVIDE A PLACE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE.

HOW MANY MONTHS IT IS WE HAVE TO PROVIDE A PLACE FOR THEM TO LIVE. WE HAVE TO PAY FOR PART OF THAT. AND THEN YOU HAVE TO FIND THINGS THAT ARE COMPARABLE PLACES TO LIVE. SO THERE'S THAT AND SEARCH. YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. GOT IT. THANK YOU. I FEEL BETTER ABOUT THAT. OTHER 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 THEN APPRAISAL DISTRICT. OKAY. THIS IS COUNTY. YEAH.

JUDGE. JUDGE EAGLE SMACK YOU FOR CONFUSING. YES. HE'D BETTER RUN FASTER. THAT'S FAIR. WHY HAVE I HAD DCAD ON MY I DON'T KNOW, ALL DAY? ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? OBVIOUSLY NOT. ITEM NINE RESOLUTION OF 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 AFFECT THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS? NEW MEXICO POWER INSTEAD OF ENCORE. IT'S AFFECT CASTLE HILL. IT DOESN'T AFFECT ANY OF THOSE FOLKS, BUT IT DOES. WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF ENCORE DE MINIMIS. YEAH. SO BASICALLY GO AHEAD, ERIN, 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 MAP 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 COSERV, RIGHT? 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. SO

[00:10:06]

OKAY, SO I THINK I'M SORRY. AND SO IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION, THEN THAT THAT RATE INCREASE GOES FORWARD FOR ANY ENCORE. I'M ALL FOR APPROVED RESOLUTION JUST TO 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 APPROVED RESOLUTION THAT BASICALLY STAYS THIS THIS INCREASE UNTIL WE CAN STUDY MORE SO THAT WE CAN RESEARCH STRATEGIES TO TRY TO NEGOTIATE THOSE RATES DOWN. OKAY. AND I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE ATTORNEY FEES THAT WORKS FOR THE STEERING COMMITTEE, THOSE ARE REIMBURSABLE BY ENCORE. SO THERE'S NO COST TO THE VERY NEXT QUESTION WAS GOING TO COST US FOR THESE HOUSES. THANK YOU. THIS IS THE SAME PROCESS WE USE WITH TMP WITH ATMOS, WITH WITH ALL THE UTILITIES. IT IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS WE HAVE A 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 BEFORE YOU LEAVE. SO BECAUSE I DID GET AN EMAIL ABOUT SOMEBODY ASKING, YOU KNOW, THAT WE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE DENIED 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 DIFFERENT. SO IT'S NOT A VOTE ON THE COMMITTEE. IT'S 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 AT 90 DAYS FROM NOW, WE HAVE TO APPROVE ANOTHER RESOLUTION. AND SO, YOU KNOW, 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 THAT. 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. WON'T 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. SAY IT'S THE PUC FOR RATES. YES. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT IN A PUBLIC SETTING TO LISTEN TO US AS MUCH AS THE REST OF THE STATE LISTENS TO, IT'S PROBABLY. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE ON NINE? WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND KEEP THAT IN. YEAH. WE DON'T NEED TO PULL IT OUT. 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 NEED A MOTION TO APPOINT ALL OR SOME, WHOMEVER WANTS TO DO SO, OR NONE. I THINK WE HAVE WE HAVE ALL THOSE OPTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS ON TEN, 11 CONSIDERATION APPOINTMENTS TO VARIOUS CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS? YES. ONE SMALL ADJUSTMENT TO THE LIST. SEE CDBG. HE WAS CHANGED. SOFIA AND ARE WITH RICK CHAUVIN. RICK CHAUVIN AND THEN SOFIA. WE BASICALLY JUST FLOPPED. SO SOFIA TO THE LIBRARY BOARD INSTEAD OF RICK. YES, THAT'S WHAT THOSE TWO. AND THE REASON IS SOFIA SERVES ON THE UNITED WAY BOARD. SO SHE WOULD BE OVERSEEING FUNDING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY GO TO THE UNITED WAY. SO WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE THAT. I THOUGHT THEY WERE BOTH LISTED ON THOSE BOARDS ANYWAY. SO IT'S A GOOD SPOT. SO APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME. AND WHAT'S CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE TERMS COMMENTARY ON ME BECAUSE I'M. YEAH. SO JENNIFER WE'RE TALKING I THINK

[00:15:05]

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 TOURS. WELL WE'LL EVENTUALLY MAKE THEM ALL CONSISTENT. BUT FOR NOW UNDERSTAND THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT. SO SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO WE'LL DO A LITTLE DANCE THERE. GET THAT TO LINE BACK UP 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. CORRECT.

ON THIS FORM. 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. WE'RE DOING THAT. 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 OF WHICH? SO WHOMEVER WHOEVER DOES THIS GETS TO READ A LOT TONIGHT BECAUSE WE NEED ALL THOSE ON THE RECORD. WILLIAM, I KNOW YOU WERE ITCHING TO DO THAT. I KNOW YOU I KNOW HALF OF IT 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 EXPANSION INSPECTION SERVICES. HAVE 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 CHRISTINA, TO PRESENT, AND WE ALSO HAVE AUSTIN FRITH HERE, OBVIOUSLY TO GIVE DATA WHEN IT'S ASKED FOR. YES. AND CAN I ALSO STATE MAYOR BEFORE PAUL GETS 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 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, 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 TEAM WORK 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 THAT STANDS. SO BEFORE THIS TIMELINE, YOU SEE HERE, DCTA GOT A GRANT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT BACK IN THE 2018 2019 TIME FRAME. AS THE BOARD, AS 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 A VISION THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HERE. THE FIRST STEP WAS FOR THE DCTA BOARD TO APPOINT A WORKING GROUP. IT'S NOT A COMMITTEE, BUT A WORKING GROUP COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF DCTA STAFF. OUR BOARD CHAIR, CHAIR GILMORE, JUDGE EADS, 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'S 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 WHERE, LIKE I 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 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 DCTA 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 DCTA AND THIS PROPERTY OUTLINED IN YELLOW, IS PROPERTY THAT DCTA 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

[00:20:04]

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 FLOOR 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 KIND OF THE 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 THE 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? 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 SEE THE WAITING HALL COMPONENT AT THE GROUND FLOOR, THE OFFICE BUILDING AND FIT OUT. AND THEN THIS PLATFORM CONNECTION SLASH KISS AND RIDE TRANSIT TERM A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN CIRCULATE GO ZONE VEHICLES, THINGS LIKE THAT, TO DROP SOMEBODY OFF AT 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 DCTA 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 DCTA AND THE DEVELOPER THAT WOULD BUILD THE BUILDING THAT I JUST SHOWED YOU. HERE'S WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK

[00:25:03]

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 TIME 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 OR BUILD 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 IT ALL GOES ACCORDING TO THIS SCHEDULE, IT'S GOING TO BE THE END OF THE YEAR OF 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. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU PAUL. SO WHENEVER THIS RFP OR RFQ 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 DCT PROCUREMENT PORTAL IS OPEN TO ANYBODY IN THE COUNTRY THAT WANTS 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 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. IT BEHOOVES 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 DCTA STAFF, CITY STAFF, COUNCILMEMBER GREEN FOR HER INPUT AS WELL, AND EVERYBODY THAT'S BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS SO FAR, I THIS IS ONE OF THOSE KINDS OF LEGACY PROJECTS. 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 WEIGHT ON THE OTHER END, AND I THINK IT'S

[00:30:01]

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

[00:35:04]

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 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 DCTA STATION, WHICH IS BY FAR THE MOST DISCONNECTED AND ABOUT TEN MINUTES OUTSIDE THE OLD TOWN CORE, 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 WILLOW AND STATION OVER HERE. AND THESE AREAS WERE ACTUALLY THE MOST PARK. AND SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY THE FURTHEST AWAY FROM THE CORE. AND SO IT'S NOT JUST THE ONES NEAR LIKE MAIN AND MILL LOFT THAT ARE NEAR MAIN AND MILL ARE THE MOST PARK. IT'S ACTUALLY SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE FURTHER AWAY. I THINK I MISUNDERSTOOD THE GRAPHIC THEN.

SORRY. YEAH, LET ME SEE. DID THE MAIN AND MILL ONE TURN RED? YEAH, YEAH, IT DOES TURN RED.

BUT YEAH, THAT'S PART OF THAT TOO. I THINK ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE THAT PUBLIC. YEAH. THAT'S THE PARKING GARAGE. YEAH. THE GARAGE AT THE BOTTOM. THAT'S THE PARKING GARAGE. BUT I JUST, I, I REALLY AM 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 AREN'T JUST PARKING IT AND LEAVING IT THERE. AND THEN FOR THOSE THAT THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, IS THE RESIDENTS TAKING UP THE PUBLIC INSTEAD OF PARKING UP 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. SO AND THAT SECOND BUILDING I BELIEVE IS NEWER THAN THE MAIN ONE. AND SO I THINK WHEN I TALK 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 PINBOARD SO RESIDENTS COULD PUT PENS 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 PIN BOARD ACTIVITY, PEOPLE REALLY LIKED OUR PUBLIC SPACES. SO THAT'S SOMETHING REALLY GOOD TO HEAR.

FOR THE SURVEY, WE ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE EXCITED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT IN OLD TOWN, AND

[00:40:05]

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 STORES.

EXACTLY. YEAH. AND I LIVE ON THE EAST TOWN AND WE NEED A FREAKING STORE. 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 AN INTER-DEPARTMENTAL SWOT ANALYSIS. THIS SLIDE IS JUST SHOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEMOGRAPHICS IN 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 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 ONES. ANOTHER INTERESTING TAKEAWAY FROM THIS SLIDE IS JUST GETTING THE PEOPLE'S IDEA ABOUT WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE AN OLD TOWN. SO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, WE SEE BRAUM'S 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 IN 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, THE 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 WITH THE TEAM. SO OKAY. MY APOLOGIES BECAUSE IT'S GREAT CONTENT. IT'S REALLY, REALLY GREAT. YEAH I JUST WANT TO BE OUT THERE AND OPEN UP. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PAUSE THE WORK SESSION. WE'LL COME ALL RIGHT. IT'S 7:00. AND WE'RE GONNA CALL THIS REGULAR SESSION OF THE LOUISVILLE CITY COUNCIL

[A. Invocation - Councilmember Patrick Kelly]

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

[H. Return to Workshop Session if Necessary]

[00:45:19]

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 A LITTLE 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 APARTMENTS. THEY MIGHT SURE LIKE. YEAH. 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 ALREADY ENVISIONING FOR OLD TOWN. SO THEN THIS IS THE TAKEAWAYS FROM OUR SWAT. 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 SURVEY PORTION. 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 WAS 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 AND 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 MAJOR STREETS. AND THEN IN THAT EAST TOD. 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 PREMIER DESTINATION FOR ENTERTAINMENT, WELCOMING ALL TYPES OF HOUSEHOLDS TO A THRIVING NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WITH THAT, WE WILL OPEN IT UP TO ANY FEEDBACK YOU MIGHT HAVE OR QUESTIONS. COUNCIL, I JUST HAVE A REAL QUICK QUESTION. CLEARLY THE HUGEST, BIGGEST BLOCK ON THAT WORD CLOUD. AND I GO THERE ALL THE TIME LIKE TUESDAYS. IT'S BEEN MOSTLY MORNING AT FIRST, SO I'M THERE TYPICALLY FROM LIKE 630 TO PROBABLY 930 OR SO. I'VE GOT THE TWO HOUR PARKING SPOT, SO I GOT TO GO OUT AND MOVE MY CAR, OR I GO PARK AND 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 BEING STARTED THAT CLEARLY ARE GOING TO BE THERE FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS. IS THAT SIGNAGE OUT FRONT? THAT'S A TWO HOUR PROGRAM. IS THAT A HONOR

[00:50:04]

SO IT MAY BE JUST TO HELP PUT IT ON THE PARKING GARAGES, ARE WE. IT'S LONGER THAN TWO HOURS LONGER. OKAY. SO THERE COULD BE SOME CONVERSATION AROUND THAT TO HELP I THINK. SO THAT'S A PRETTY STANDARD PRACTICE 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 CUSTOMERS. I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH THE PREMISE OF IT. I'M WONDERING, IS IT REALLY DOING ANYTHING FOR US THAT THAT'S IS IT A IS IT A NICE DO YOU FEEL GOOD BECAUSE IT'S OUT THERE, OR IS IT ACTUALLY TURNING THE SPACES OVER? I THINK THERE'S A I THINK THERE 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 OF, OKAY, 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 WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. THE SWOT ANALYSIS GOING THE 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 IN 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 WE HAD WE HAD ONE SLIDE. SORRY. JUST BRIEF NEXT STEPS AFTER THIS WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A I GUESS A FEEDBACK BEGIN TO DRAFT THE ACTUAL PLAN DOCUMENT. AND THEN 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

[00:55:02]

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. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WE DID IS.

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

[D. Visitors Forum]

UNAUTHORIZED REMARKS FROM THE AUDIENCE. STAMPING OF FEET, WHISTLES, YELLS, CLAPPING, AND SIMILAR DEMONSTRATIONS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, THE CITY COUNCIL IS RESTRICTED FROM DISCUSSING OR TAKING ACTION ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA.

ACTION CAN ONLY BE TAKEN AT A FUTURE MEETING. 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. 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 EXPRESS THAT. AND THIS IS FROM FIRE CHIEF STUART BLASINGAME. DEAR CHIEF MCNEIL, I WANT 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 HAVE FACED SUCH A DIFFICULT SITUATION. WERE NOTHING SHORT OF EXTRAORDINARY. PLEASE EXTEND MY APPRECIATION TO CHIEF MOORE AND CHIEF CECE FOR THEIR STEADY LEADERSHIP, AS WELL AS THE ENGINE TWO 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'S 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 CEASE, BATTALION CHIEF MOORE, CAPTAIN JASON WEBB,

[01:00:06]

[C. Public Hearing]

MOTION PASSES. SIX TO NOTHING. COUNCIL. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS SET

[01:05:04]

FIRST OF ALL, CLAIRE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TEAM. THEY WERE AMAZING. WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THEM TO WORK THROUGH SEA OF LOUISVILLE'S INTENSIVE REVIEW PROCESS, AND WE'RE PROUD 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 100 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 DEVELOPED OFFICE, INDUSTRIAL AND MULTIFAMILY, SOME MEDICAL AND SOME DATA CENTER.

OUR INDUSTRIAL GROUP HAS DEVELOPED ABOUT 32,000,000FT■!S, OR 48 BUILDINGS, IN THE LAST 15 YEARS AROUND THE METROPLEX. THIS IS WHAT'S EXISTING TWO TOTAL OFFICE BUILDINGS, TWO MASSIVE PARKING GARAGES, LARGE PARKING FIELD. THE SUBURBAN OFFICE MARKET HAS BEEN DECIMATED BY THE PANDEMIC. THIS PROPERTY WAS TAKEN BACK BY B OF A AND TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY IS PURCHASING IT OUT OF FORECLOSURE. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THIS BECAUSE PART OF THE LANDSCAPING ON THE FRONT, THERE'S CURRENTLY A STRIP OF 16,000FT■!S THAT RUNS ALONG THE FRONTAGE ROAD OF 121. WE'RE ALMOST WE'RE PUTTING 31,000FT■!S OF LANDSCAPING UP FRONT. OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS THE OLD PRESENTATION. LET ME JUMP OVER HERE. SO AS WE WORKED WITH RICHARD MICHELLE, 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% OF TOTAL. THERE'S 360% INCREASE PERCENT OF THE TOTAL BRICK 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.

[01:10:06]

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 COURT IN THE BACK. YOU CAN SEE THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE LANDSCAPE AS IT'S 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 4TH OF JULY TO P AND Z. BUT WE'VE SPENT OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF TIME, CLAIRE, WITH YOUR TEAM AND WORKING THROUGH THE PD. AND TO GIVE THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE ASSURANCES OF THE DESIGN QUALITY. AND WE'RE PROUD OF THE STAFF. AND P AND Z VOTED WITH THE SUPPORT. SO THANK YOU. I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SIR. COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS. I'M GOOD OKAY. YEP 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 LESSER INTENSITY THAN IT WOULD BE FOR 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 Y'ALL HAVE 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

[01:15:06]

[01:20:02]

BUT WHAT WHAT RONNIE IS SUGGESTING, I'M SUGGESTING THAT ALL THE EXIT THE TRUCK TRAFFIC IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE HUGE TRUCKS AND PEOPLE FLYING DOWN THE SERVICE ROAD IS HAVE THESE AT THIS IS IT'S OKAY TO ENTER ON THESE DRIVES BUT WHEN THEY'RE EXITING THE SAFER WAY WOULD BE TO DEDICATE OR 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 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 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 THIS? 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 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 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 A 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 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 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 HOW WOULD WE DO THAT? WOULD 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 TXDOT 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. I FEEL LIKE IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LOT EASIER FOR THEM TO, TO EXIT ON LIKE THIS

[01:25:03]

YEAH. YOU GOT TWO DIFFERENT, TWO DIFFERENT. IT BECAME A PROBLEM. I MEAN TRUCKS NOT GOING TO WANT TO STICK THEIR NOSE OUT THERE EITHER IF THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO GET STUCK OR KRISTEN 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 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 NOT 400. IT'S ARE YOU LOOKING AT EXISTING DRIVEWAYS OR ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE PROPOSED DRIVEWAYS ABOUT MIDWAY BETWEEN THE TWO EXISTING DRIVEWAYS? YEAH. SO THAT'S WHERE I'M MEASURING FROM. YEAH. IT'S ABOUT TO START TAPERING HERE ACTUALLY NO FURTHER BACK. KEEP GOING. RIGHT ABOUT THERE. RIGHT THERE. YEP. 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. AND 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 I 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 THIS. 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. YEAH. THAT'S, THAT'S IT IS PRETTY MUCH ACTUAL. SO THEY ARE A 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 LAKE 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 YOUR 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 IS GOING TO BE. SO I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT AN ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION BACKGROUND. I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS 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 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

[G. Reports]

[01:40:01]

THE INTERESTING PART ABOUT THAT IS IN THE AREA WHERE IT HAD TO BE BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT WAS AFFECTING THE TANKS WE WERE, 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 MAIN BREAK ON A 20 INCH MAIN IN CASTLE HILL HILLS NEAR THE GOLF COURSE. THAT ONE WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTING BECAUSE IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO A COSERV TRANSFORMER. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED COSERV 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 THE WATER OFF, THAT 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 COUNTY PUBLIC COLLECTIONS, U-HAUL, AND A CAR WASH THAT HAS SINCE BEEN RESTORED AS WELL. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THIS IS 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 IT 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 TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE DON'T HAVE MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. AND THEN IF WE DO HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, THOSE GET REPORTED TO T-C-EQ CORRECTLY. I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE KATELYN

SO 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 TXDOT 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 TEXDOT ACTUALLY BUILDS 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 WANT 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 TO. 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 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, 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 MCBREEN 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 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.
