ANNEXATION REQUEST. THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED, UM BEEN ASSIGNED ANNEXATION AGREEMENT THAT WOULD STIPULATE THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO DEVELOP PURSUANT TO THE CITY'S STANDARDS . CITY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROPERTY, AND THEY HAVE ALSO SIGNED AND EXECUTED A MUNICIPAL SERVICES PLAN, WHICH IS JUST AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROVISION OF SERVICES THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOLLOWING ANNEXATION. AS THE ZONING UH, COMPONENT OF THIS GOES, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO ZONE THE PROPERTY PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOLLOWING THE C THREE COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS, WITH THE ADDED ALLOWANCE FOR HEAVY MACHINERY.

IT KINDA GOT BOGGED DOWN, BUT HERE WE ARE BEFORE YOU IN EXCESS AND TWO ZONE IT APPROPRIATELY, SO I WOULD ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, MR MAYOR AND ASK YOU FOR FAVORABLE APPROVE.

LATER IN THE. MEETING SO WE'RE GOING TO JUMP TO 220026 Z TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON REQUEST TO REZONE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT GENERAL TO MODIFY THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND TO ALLOW FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER, LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HIDDEN HAVEN, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 640 FT. WEST OF INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY. ALL RIGHT . THANK YOU. MR MARRIAGE. YOU READ. THIS IS A REZONING REQUEST. THIS REQUEST IS ACTUALLY BEING BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE CITY BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY TO REZONE THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY FROM P D TO PD PLAYING DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY UM, IS UNDER OWNERSHIP OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, AND WE DO HAVE PLANS TO DEVELOP IT AS A PARK AS PART OF OUR PARKS, MASTER PLAN AND AN AGREEMENT ON THE PROPERTY. HOWEVER WE ARE REQUESTING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO G C GOVERNMENT COMPLEX ZONING DISTRICT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT PARK, BUT ALSO TO ADD A MODIFIED REQUIREMENT FOR AN S U P FOR A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER ON THE PROPERTY. SO WITH THE REZONING REQUEST, WHAT THIS WOULD DO WITH REALLY SPECIFY EXACTLY WHAT'S REQUIRED IF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER WERE TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS PARTICULAR TRACKED IT WOULD LIMIT THE EXACT LOCATION OF THAT CELL TOWER. LIMIT THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF THE CELL TOWER TO 85 FT AND ALSO SUBJECT THE CELL TOWER TO ANY OF THE OTHER STANDARD REQUIREMENTS OF A CELL TOWER, MEANING IT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE ABLE STEALTH MONOPOLIES NINE AND COULD ACCOMMODATE UP TO TWO ADDITIONAL CARRIERS ON THAT PARTICULAR TOWER. SO WITH THIS ITEM, WHAT THE CITY IS[00:15:01]
REQUESTING IS SIMPLY TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO ALLOW FOR THAT CONSIDERATION OF A CELL TOWER VIA AND S U P AND ALSO TO MODIFY THAT BASED ZONING DISTRICT TO G C GOVERNMENT COMPLEX TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK AT SUCH TIME THAT THE CITY IS PREPARED TO DO THAT, SO I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. AND I KNOW THAT MR HAUSER HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY ON THIS ONE AS WELL. FOR THE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THE STEALTH. PAUL MEANS THAT AS OPPOSED TO A POLE WITH THE ANTENNAS THAT ARE STRAPPED TO THE OUTSIDE, THEY'RE ALL WITHIN INSIDE. AND BASICALLY, THAT IS THIS LOOKS LIKE A VERY LARGE FLAGPOLE IF YOU WILL, BUT THERE'S NOTHING ON THE EXTERIOR . IT'S ALL WITHIN THE INTERIOR. THAT IS CORRECT. AND I BELIEVE THAT, UM THERE. WE HAVE DENIED THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY. THAT POLL TO BE SET BEFORE NOT ON THIS PROPERTY ANOTHER. IT'S CAUSE SOME ISSUES. COULD WE SPEAK TO THAT? SURE. ABSOLUTELY SO WHAT WE AS A CITY WHAT THE FCC CONSTRAINTS THAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITHIN, AND WHATNOT, I THINK WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR THOSE ABSOLUTELY SURE SO I BELIEVE IT WAS EARLIER THIS YEAR WAS LATE LAST YEAR. ACTUALLY, WHEN A REQUEST CAME BEFORE THE CITY ON BEHALF OF HIM PILL TO PLACE A CELL TOWER ON THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT'S JUST TO THE WEST OF THIS TRACK SO THAT IT'S FOR ELEMENTARY. AND WITH THAT REQUEST, THEY WERE PROPOSING TO PUT THE CELL TOWER RIGHT ABOUT HERE NEAR THE SCHOOL. AT THE TIME, THE COUNCIL DID HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT HAVING TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER ON SCHOOL PROPERTY, THE PLACEMENT OF PROXIMITY TO THE BUILDING AND POTENTIAL INTERFERENCE WITH THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. SO SINCE THAT TIME THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH CITY STAFF ON THE ABILITY TO MOVE THAT TOWER TO ANOTHER POTENTIAL LOCATION, CITY OWNED PROPERTY. UM WHEN CONSIDERING TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER, THE FCC DOES REGULATE AND LIMIT WHAT IT IS CAN BE CONSIDERED RADIO FREQUENCIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH IMPACTS OF CELL TOWERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN REZONING REQUEST OR A LAND USE REQUEST IS BEFORE A CITY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS REGULATED BY THE FCC. SO WHAT'S BEING ASKED OF THE CITY IS THE LOCATION APPROPRIATE. DOES IT MEET THE GENERAL STANDARDS OF THE CITY MAY SET FOR ITSELF FOR CONSIDERING TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER IN THE LIKE, SO, UM, THIS REQUEST RIGHT NOW WOULD JUST READY THE ZONING CODE FOR THAT KIND OF CONSIDERATION ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY FOR A CELL TOWER. AND WHEN IT DOES MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, UM. MEAN WELL, IT WOULD IT WOULD OPEN THE CITY UP FOR POTENTIAL LITIGATION. UM, IF THERE WAS FOUND THAT THERE WERE ANY SORT OF PROCEDURAL OR CONSIDERATION OR DELAYS, UM, FOR PROCESSING THAT PARTICULAR REQUEST JENNIFER, DO WE HAVE KNOWLEDGE THAT ANY OF THE RESIDENTS OR THOSE WHO PASSED BY OR SPEND ANY TIME THERE ARE LACKING ANY KIND OF CELL SERVICE IS SELF SERVICE DEFICIENT THERE THAT THIS WOULD PROVIDE SOME KIND OF PERCEPTIBLE IMPROVEMENT . SO WHEN WE, UH THE NEXT ITEM IS GOING TO BE THE SCP REQUEST, WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE REQUEST THAT'S CONSIDERING THE PLACEMENT OF THE TOWER, AND ANOTHER APPLICANT COULD PROBABLY SPEAK A LITTLE BIT BETTER TO THAT. BUT WE HAVE. MAPS FROM HEMPHILL TO SUBSTANTIATE THE NEED FOR THE TOWER IN THIS LOCATION, AND SO WHAT THAT DOES IS, IT SHOWS THE COVERAGE GAPS THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING, AND THE GAP THAT'S FILLED BY PUTTING A TOWER HERE, AND I DO BELIEVE THOSE MAPS ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR YOUR VIEW AS WELL. THANK YOU. THE OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS AND AGAIN I KNOW I JUMPED AHEAD TO THE NEXT ITEM RIGHT NOW. WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE RESULTS. ASKED THE APPLICANT TO COME UP WITH THAT CHEST. SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM AND AGAIN? THIS ITEM IS THE ZONING ASPECT. SEEN ON ENTERTAINING MOTION SORRY. BUT WE DO HAVE SOMEBODY OKAY. LESLIE HOBBY.GARY HARNICK. GARY GO AHEAD. YOU YOU SPEAK FIRST. GARY HARNICK 10105 BILLBOARD DRIVE. IN MCKINNEY, AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT MAP I'M I'M RIGHT THERE ON SALE BOARD DRIVER. HE'S BASICALLY SEE THE POINT. OF THAT FENCE. AND. WELL, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT BECAUSE THAT THAT IS ACTUALLY. IS A PARCEL THAT WAS AH! PLAN TO BE PARKLAND WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR HOME. UM AND IT WAS JUST AT THAT POINT. WE FELT IT WAS GOING TO BE STRICTLY GREEN SPACE AND PARKLAND. UM WE ARE AND I AM PERSONALLY AGAINST HAVING THAT THE TOWER IN THAT LOCATION. UM. LIKE I SAID, WHEN
[00:20:01]
WE BOUGHT OUR HOMEWORK, IT WAS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT WAS GOING TO BE GREEN SPACE.STRICTLY GREEN SPACE STRICTLY PARKLAND. UM. ONE OTHER THING THAT. I WANTED TO MENTION IS THAT UM, WE DID GET A NOTIFICATION. OF THE REZONING. WE DID GET A CARD IN THE MAIL.
BUT I WAS CONCERNED AS A AS A AS A NEIGHBOR. I WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, I'M GLAD THIS IS UP. BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE DASH LINE THERE BECAUSE OF THE IRREGULAR SHAPE OF THAT PARCEL. THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON SALE BOARD DRIVE THAT REALLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS PROJECT UNLESS THEY READ IT FROM SOME OTHER SOURCE. SO I DECIDED . I THOUGHT EVERYBODY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF SAIL BOARD, DR. I TRIED TO LET KNOW THAT THIS WAS GOING ON. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF IT BECAUSE I LIKE I SAID, BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE PARCEL. I THINK THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T AWARE OF IT. AND AGAIN AT THIS POINT, I'D LIKE TO JUST WANT TO SAY THAT. I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF IT THERE. AND MAINLY BECAUSE OUR THOUGHT WAS THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE PARKLAND OR GREEN SPACE WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR PROPERTY, SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UM, LESLIE HAPPS LESLIE HOBBY. I RESIGNED AT 10104 BLUE SKIES DRIVING MCKINNEY AND IT'S ON THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE SHADED AREA . UM I DID NOT RECEIVE A POSTCARD IN THE MAIL AND I AM IN THAT SECTION. SO LUCKILY I WAS ON THE SIDE, WHERE THE TWO NOTIFICATIONS WERE POSTED ON THE FIELD, SO SOME OF THOSE OTHER RESIDENTS LIKE MR HARNIK MENTIONED DIDN'T GET A POSTCARD BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T IN THE NOTIFICATION AREA, BUT THEY DON'T SEE THE NOTIFICATION POSTS BECAUSE THEY GO IN UP OFF OF THAT ENTRANCE ON INDEPENDENCE INSTEAD OF DOWN AT HIDDEN HAVEN, WHERE THE FIRE STATION IS. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ON THIS.
AGENDA ITEM. SO I HAVE A QUESTION OF WHY YOU WOULD CONSTRUCT AN 80 FT TOWER AND THEN PLACE THE CITY PARK NEXT TO IT WHEN YOU DON'T ALLOW THIS SMALL CELL NOTES AND EXISTING PARKS HOW ARE YOU GOING TO STRUCTURE A PARK AROUND THIS TOWER AND WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME OF WHEN IT WILL BE DEVELOPED AS THE TOWER WILL BE LITERALLY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT FIELD, JUST STICKING UP. WITH NOTHING AROUND IT FOR A WHILE, AND THEN DO YOU HAVE A GUARANTEED TO THE CITIZENS THAT THE LAND WILL STAY? A CITY PARKED ONCE IT'S JONES GC, AND IT WON'T CHANGE TO SOMETHING ELSE. ONCE APPROVED THAT FALLS UNDER THAT GCC ZONING DISTRICT.
IN SOME OF THE EXHIBITS THAT ARE POSTED ONLINE. THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS THERE COULD BE WATER TOWERS, UM, WATER, NOT THE TOWERS, BUT JUST THE SMALLER ONES. WE HAVE SOME INDEPENDENCE IN VIRGINIA. UM LIBRARIES. ALL KINDS OF THINGS COULD BE POSTED THERE. UM LIKE MR HARNIK SAID, WE BOUGHT KNOWING THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A CITY PARK. IF YOU LOOK AT COLIN CAD, IT'S ACTUALLY LISTED AS THE NAME THE RESERVE AT WESTRIDGE DASH PARK. I DO HAVE MORE TO TALK ABOUT, BUT I'LL DO THAT ON THE NEXT ITEM SINCE IT PERTAINS MORE TO THE TOWER ITSELF. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. KATHY HORNAK HORNAK. GOOD EVENING. I'M KATHY HARNICK. I LIVE AT 10105 SAIL BOARD TRIBE, AND THAT IS RIGHT. AT THE TIP OF WHERE THE BLUE MARKER IS. UM I KNOW THAT A LAWSUIT HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORTH BY CAMP HILL, AND IT'S PUT KIND OF A STRANGLEHOLD ON THE CITY AND THAT THAT'S SAD.
I KNOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES ARE SITTING BACK ON THE 26 YEAR OLD FEDERAL MANDATE , THEREBY ALLOWING THEM TO COME INTO COMMUNITIES AND USE THE POWER THAT THEY HAVE TO DO LAW TO ALTER. OUR LANDSCAPES SUCH AS THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS FCC MANDATE EXISTED LONG BEFORE FIVE G TECHNOLOGY BEGAN TO LITTER. THE CITY WITH VARIOUS SIZED CELL TOWERS. MY OPINION HISTORY FROM THIS PANDEMIC WILL TELL US THAT FEDERAL MANDATES DON'T REALLY SIT WELL WITH MOST AMERICANS, BUT HERE WE ARE WATCHING A LARGE TECH COMPANY KINDA DICTATE HOW AWARE HOW AND WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DOT OUR LANDSCAPE WITH WITH CELL TOWERS BECAUSE OF A FEDERAL LAW. UM PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS WITH MAPS AND DIAGRAMS AND STATISTICS.
STATISTICS MAY SEEK TO CHANGE PUBLIC PERCEPTION PERCEPTION, BUT REALLY I THINK IT'S. PORT TO BE TRANSPARENT. THERE'S REALLY NOTHING ALTRUISTIC. ABOUT WHAT THE TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES ARE
[00:25:04]
DOING. THEY'RE USING EMINENT DOMAIN AND USING IT TO MAKE A PROFIT TO THEIR BOTTOM LINE. I LIVE IN THE CENTER OF A SO CALLED DEAD SPOT. I HAVE AN INTERNET I CAN STREAM I DON'T GET DROPPED CALLS, SO I'M STILL NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS IS AN AREA THAT'S IN DIRE NEED CONTINUED TO VALUE TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OF THAT PROMISE, HAVING SAID THAT, IF THE POWERS THAT BE CLAIMED MY SERVICES DEAD WELL, OKAY, SO BE IT. I DO FEEL THE CITY NEEDS TO ESTABLISH PARAMETERS THAT CAN BETTER ASSURE THAT CELL TOWERS ARE NOT PLACED ON PUBLIC SCHOOL PROPERTY OR IN PUBLIC PARKS OR IN EXISTING AND ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS. IT'S WRONG TO DISPLAY SCHOOL PLAY YARDS. IT IS WRONG TO DISPLAYS VALUABLE PUBLIC GREEN SPACE. IT IS WRONG TO FORCE PUB PROPERTY TAXPAYERS TO VIEW AN 84 85 FT SOUTH POWERLESS THAN 250 FT FROM THEIR BACKYARD. AS STEWARDS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. THE COUNCIL WILL SET THE TONE AND MORE AS MORE AND MORE CELL TOWERS COME INTO OUR COMMUNITY. THE TECH COMPANIES WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. BUT AT WHAT COST AND HOW WILL THEY INVEST IN THE RESEARCH TO MEET THE PERCEIVED NEEDS WITHOUT CITIES HAVING TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT THAT THESE TOWERS WILL ULTIMATELY COST AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, MR MAYOR, THIS IS BIGGER THAN A FLIGHT POOL. UM AND IT'S IN OUR BACKYARD CERTAINLY WASN'T INTENDING TO COLLEGES FIVE. I WAS JUST TRYING. I MAYBE SHOULDN'T USE THAT TERM. BUT THE POINT I WAS MAKING THIS THE ANTENNAS ON THE INSIDE, JUST BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. IT IS MUCH LARGER. SO THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I AM AN OPPOSITION. THANK THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST WENT AWAY THE NAME SORRY.LOOK. THERE IS A LUKSA CUT COAT SARKODIE. OKAY? IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE SOUND? SEEING NONE ENTERTAINING MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION MOVED. WE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. SERBIAN CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION PASSES TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MARK. SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS WILL BE FOR YOU. I WANT TO GO TO A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE AND THAT WAS AND THOUGHT OF IT UNTIL THEY MADE IT, SO I APPRECIATE WHOEVER MADE THE COMMENT. UM WHAT THE ZONING THAT WERE THAT WERE CHANGING, TOO. WHAT. GUARANTEE THE PEOPLE HAVE THAT IT WILL REMAIN APART. LET'S PUT THE POLE ASIDE FOR A SECOND HAD HOW DO THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE? HOW DO THEY HOW ARE THEY GUARANTEE THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. THE PROPERTY. HAS BEEN PART OF. THE CUSTOMER WEST AGREEMENT FOR MANY YEARS IDENTIFIED AS A PARK. AND IT IS AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PARK STAFF. GINNY BAKER'S HERE TONIGHT. MR. KOWSKI IS OUT OF TOWN. THIS PARCEL. IS ON THE SIP. FOR DEVELOPMENT AS A PARK AND IT WILL BE PUT INTO THE PARK MASTER PLAN. AS SOON AS WE HAVE IT IF IT'S SOUND SO THERE'S THE ASSURANCE ARE THERE THAT IT WILL BE A PART? OTHER PARCELS IN THE CITY. AND THE REASON THAT ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE'RE SENDING THIS GOVERNMENT COMPLEX WITH S U. P IS TO HAVE THAT EXTRA REQUIREMENT FOR OTHER PARCELS IN THE CITY THAT ARE POTENTIAL IDENTIFIED FOR SOME OTHER USE, AND THAT A CELL TOWER, FOR INSTANCE, AT NEW CITY HALL WOULD REQUIRE ADDITIONAL STEP TO DO SO. BECAUSE WE THINK THAT. THE PLACEMENT OF CELL TOWERS IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION. AND WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE COMPANY. TO TRY TO PUT THE CELL TOWER IN A POSITION THAT IS ESSENTIALLY AS FAR AWAY AS WE COULD. FROM RESIDENCES. BUT. IT WILL BE A PARK AND THE DESIGN OF THE PARK. HAS ALSO BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. ONCE THE SIDEWALKS, TRAILS ARE BUILT. THE ACCESS TO THE CELL TOWER FACILITY WILL BE ON THOSE TRAILS, SO THERE WON'T BE ANY ADDITIONAL ROADS NEEDED FOR ACCESS HAVE DONE AS MUCH AS WE COULD TO TRY TO INCORPORATE THE STRUCTURE INTO THE PARK USE. AND I WANT TO COME IN, MR KOWSKI. MISS BAKER FOR WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT. WITH ME. HAS. COMPATH
[00:30:04]
THE PARK AS KIM SO I'M GOING TO ASK THE QUESTION AND I AND I TRULY I HOPE NOBODY READS INTO THIS QUESTION. IT'S UM IT'S ACTUALLY A VERY SINCERE QUESTION. NOT NOT. FOR ANOTHER REASON THAT I'M CURIOUS. JUST EVEN FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION. AS A PARK RIGHT NOW. IF IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THEY THERE THEY WANTED TO BUILD A FIELD WITH, YOU KNOW, LIGHTED FIELD WITH LIGHTED LIGHT TOWERS. COULD THAT I KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DONE. THAT'S NOT THE PLAN TO PASSIVE PART. BUT BUT IF IT WERE TO BE IF ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT HAD BEEN DECIDED WITH THAT REQUIRE ANY NOTICE ANY ANYTHING TO ANYBODY WOULD OR WOULD WE WAKE UP ONE DAY AND BIG LIGHT TOWERS MIGHT BE BEING BUILT FOR A SOCCER FIELD. THERE'S NO FURTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR APPROVALS, RIGHT, SO IT WOULD BE A QUESTION OF THE DESIGN WOULD BE PREPARED. AND TYPICALLY, THE CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T LOOK AT LAYOUTS, BUT THE ONLY PLACE YOU'D EVER SEE IT. AND I TRULY AM NOT ASKING THAT QUESTION. AS A AS A AS A GADGET OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I'M JUST JUST WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT PARKS MYSELF INCLUDED IN THE FUTURE, YOU KNOW? WONDERED IF THERE IS IF THERE IS ANY REQUIREMENT BECAUSE I COULD SEE THAT, OF COURSE, ALSO BEING SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY WOULD NOT BE EXPECTED WHEN THEY THINK OF PARK AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WAKE UP AND FIND THAT I WILL SAY THIS MR MAYOR COUNCIL, THE STAFF GOES OUT OF ITS WAY TO ADHERE TO THINGS LIKE OUR LIGHT ORDINANCE DIRECTIONALO WE DO THINGS THAT WE REQUIRE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES, TOO. I HAD A QUESTION. QUICK QUESTION. UM. IF THIS IF THIS ONE GOES INTO THE PARK SYSTEM IT'S PRETTY MUCH IN THERE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REFERENDUM TO TAKE IT OUT, RIGHT? IT'S A VERY GOOD POINT.ONCE YOU PUT PARKLAND INTO THE PARK MASTER PLAN, AND IT IS A PARK. TO CHANGE THE USE OR SELL THE PROPERTY REQUIRE IT REQUIRES A REFERENDUM. VOTE OF THE PUBLIC. SO IT'S GONNA BE A PART.
RIGHT? YEAH. WHAT YOU CAN PUT ON A PARK HAS CHANGED OVER TIME. THINGS YOU KNOW, WE NOW HAVE SKATE PARKS, AND WE NEVER HAD THAT. SO WHAT IS RECREATION IS ALWAYS SOMETHING FLUID IN OUR COUNTRY. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A PART. OTHER QUESTIONS. RIGHT? IS THERE A MOTION? MICRO MOTION. WE APPROVE THIS ITEM. I WILL. SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES. NEXT ITEM.
[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit to Allow for Telecommunications Tower Uses, Located on the North Side of Hidden Haven Drive and Approximately 640 Feet West of Independence Parkway, and Accompanying Ordinance]
CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARING TO ACT ON SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER USES. LOOK IN THE NORTH SIDE OF HIDDEN HAVEN DRIVE AND APPROXIMATELY 640 FT. WEST OF INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY IN THE COMPANY IN THE ORDINANCE. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. THIS IS REALLY A COMPANION ITEM TO THE PREVIOUS ITEM THAT YOU JUST CONSIDER. WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE ZONING AND REZONING OF THE PROPERTY. UM WE DO HAVE AN APPLICANT HERE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT REQUESTING.EXCUSE ME. CONSIDERATION OF AN S U P TO ALLOW FOR AN 85 FT CELL TOWER. ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
ONE THING I DIDN'T I FAILED TO MENTION IN THE PREVIOUS ITEM THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE I COVER HERE IS WITH THE CHANGES TO THE SCP REQUIREMENTS ON THIS PARTICULAR TRACKED. WHAT IT'S DONE IS IT HAS MOVED. THE REQUIREMENTS ARE IT HAS STIPULATED EXACTLY WHERE THAT SOUTH TOWER CAN GO. AND IT IS THE FURTHEST DISTANCE AWAY POSSIBLE FROM ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL IS REALLY TRIED TO BE TUCKED INTO THE PARK PROPERTY. UM AND I DO BELIEVE WE'VE GOT AN EXHIBIT. SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE ON THIS EXHIBIT IS AS PROPOSED THE CELL TOWER WOULD GO RIGHT ABOUT THERE. THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE NEED FOR THE CELL TOWER, INCLUDING THOSE PROPAGATION MAPS. THEY'RE ALSO COMPLYING WITH ALL OF THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED REQUIREMENTS FOR AN S U P ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. LOOKS LIKE MR HAUSER IS GOING TO CHIME IN AS WELL. ONE THING IF YOU GO BACK TO THE AERIAL THE. THE PARCEL TO THE EAST. IS A DETENTION BASIS.
[00:35:02]
THAT IS REQUIRED TO FOR OVERFLOW DRAINAGE THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THAT DETENTION PATIENT IS PERMANENT AS WELL. SO FOR ANYONE WHO MIGHT THINK THAT THERE MIGHT BE HOUSES BUILT NEXT TO THIS PROPERTY TO THE CELL TOWER THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, SO I WANTED AGAIN. WE WERE TRYING TO TAKE ALL THESE THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION SO THAT WILL REMAIN A DETENTION FACILITY. HOW FAR AWAY FROM THE NEAREST RESIDENT IN THE SCHOOL. IS THAT CELL TOWER? TRUE, YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE OTHER. WANT TO SAY IT'S AROUND 600 FT. JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE YOU GO FURTHER TO THE SOUTH. TO HELP THANK YOU. IS THE APPLICANT HERE. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MASON GRIFFIN NARROWS AT AT 49 08 SPYGLASS DRIVE IN DALLAS, TEXAS, AND I AM HERE REPRESENTING HIM. PILL TOWERS AND WE WERE HERE LAST SUMMER. BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT THE STAFF DONE A WONDERFUL JOB WORKING WITH WITH US IN A BRIEFING YOU GUYS ON THIS PROJECT AND JUST AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANYONE MIGHT HAVE. I KNOW THAT WE CHALLENGED. YOU GUYS IN THE WHEN IT WAS PRESENTED. TO BE LOOKING AT THE SCHOOL PROPERTY. WE ASKED ABOUT THE WATER TOWERS AND OTHER AREAS. AND I'VE SEEN THE MAPS, BUT JUST VERY BRIEF MANNER IF YOU WOULD SPEAK TO IT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY. THE SOUTH, APPROXIMATELY THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE. IF I RECALL CORRECTLY IS AN EXISTING WATER TOWER AND UNFORTUNATELY WELL, I'LL SAY THIS IN THE IN THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING A LOCATION FOR A SET OF ANTENNAS. THE FIRST THING THAT ANYONE LOOKS FOR IS ANY EXISTENCE THAT CAN BE UTILIZED.AND SO VERIZON, THE LEAD TENANT ON THE TOWER THAT TEMPLES BUILDING ANALYZE THAT AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS JUST TOO FAR SOUTH TO PROVIDE THE COVERAGE. THERE MIGHT BE A NEED FOR THEM TO GO ON THAT TOWER ANYWAY. EVEN WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS TOWN ITSELF, IT JUST IS TOO FAR TO THE SOUTH TO ADDRESS IT. THE COVERAGE AREAS THAT THESE ADDRESSED GET SMALLER, SMALLER, SMALLER IS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE USE WITH INTENSIVE APPLICATIONS.
SO. YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE NAPKIN? THANK YOU SO MUCH. SAYS THE PUBLIC HEARING. HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. UM, UNLESS THE HOBBY. HELLO AGAIN. LESLIE HOBBY 10104 BLUE SKIES DRIVE LAST YEAR, THE ORIGINAL SIDE OF THE TOWER FOR ELEMENTARY WAS DENIED AT THE COUNCIL MEETING. WHY DID IT GET TURNED DOWN LOCATION? THE PROPOSED SITE IS NOW LESS THAN 1/10 OF A MILE BEHIND THE SCHOOL IN A FUTURE PRIDE PARK IN THIS SIZE HAS INCREASED TO 49 BY 49 FROM 25 BY 35. THE TOWER HAS MOVED A BIT FURTHER FROM HOUSES, BUT NOW IT WILL BE ISOLATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT FIELD UNTIL THE PARK IS BUILT AROUND IT. SORRY I'M NERVOUS. OUR AREA NEEDS TO OUR AREA NEEDS IMPROVE SIGNAL. BUT WHY NOT INCONSPICUOUS WAY? THERE WAS WATER TOWER WESTERNS, WHICH YOU JUST SPOKE ABOUT. AND ACCORDING TO THE JULY 6TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING THE ANTENNAS CAN CO LOCATE AT 80 TO 90 FT. VERIZON STATED THAT THIS WOULD NOT COVER THE INTENDED AREA BUT FAILED TO SHOW ANY PROPAGATION MAPS FOR THE WATER TOWER SITE. LOOKING AT THE CURRENT PROPAGATION MAPS THAT YOU ALL HAVE. THERE'S A HUGE LACK OF COVERAGE AND THE WESTRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD SOUTH OF WEST RIDGE BOULEVARD FROM QUITE TO CUSTER. ON THE WEBSITE, THE VERIZON WEBSITE. WHEN YOU GO TO THE FIVE G MAPS, IT SHOWS THAT AREA IN COMPLETE RED, WHICH IS FIVE G ULTRA READY ALREADY. SO WHO'S BEING MISS LYNN CONSUMERS OR THE CITY? THE WATER TOWER IS CENTRALLY LOCATED ALL WESTRIDGE NEIGHBORHOODS. IN BETWEEN TWO EXISTING FIVE G TOWERS. NO REZONING WOULD BE NECESSARY. IF YOU UTILIZE THE WATER TOWER. YOU CAN EXPAND. UM THE COVERAGE WITH SMALL CELL NODES ON THE EAST SIDE OF INDEPENDENCE FROM THE FIRE STATION. ALL THE WAY UP TO VIRGINIA IS PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY THAT IS AVAILABLE, ACCORDING TO THE SMALL CELL NODE MAP ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. ACCORDING TO VERIZON'S WEBSITE. FIVE G NODES ARE SMALL AND CAN BE MOUNTED ON STREETLIGHTS, UTILITY POLES, BUILDINGS AND OTHER SIMILAR STRUCTURES. TO EFFICIENTLY DELIVER THE DATA AND BANDWIDTH THAT USERS NEED DISCREET AND ENERGY EFFICIENT. SMALL CELLS HELPING FIVE G POSSIBLE SO WHY NOT UTILIZE THE TECHNOLOGY THAT VERIZON'S BOASTING ABOUT ON THEIR WEBSITE? AND THEN YOU ADDRESS THAT ISSUE, SO I ASKED THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO
[00:40:06]
PROTECT OUR CITY FROM HEMPHILL. THEY DID NOT GET THEIR WAY AND FILED A LAWSUIT SITTING WITH KENNY VIOLATED THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS ACT. MCKINNEY IS NOT DENYING THE PROVISION OF PERSONAL WIRELESS SERVICE IN THE VICINITY OF THE PROVOKED PROPOSED FACILITY. THEY'RE DENYING THE TOWER, WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECTS HIM PILL, NOT VERIZON OR ITS CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMERS CAN GET THEIR SERVICE , BUT IT WOULD NOT BE AT HEMPHILL'S BEST INTERESTS IF WE WENT WITH THE WATER TOWER AND THE NOTES AS SIMPLY PUT IN PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETINGS BY ONE OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS. THE 1996 ACT GIVES TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANIES THE ABILITY TO FORCE THEMSELVES ON PEOPLE. TIMES HAVE CHANGED, AND THAT ACT GIVES FAR TOO MUCH POWER TO TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANIES TO PUT IT A TOWER WHEREVER THEY WANT. UM I ASKED YOU TO THINK BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE THINKING LAST YEAR AND CARRY IT FORWARD TO THIS YEAR AND BRAINSTORM TO FIND A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY TO BRING WIRELESS COVERAGE TO THIS AREA AND NOT TO A CITY PARK.
THANK YOU. KATHY HORNAK. GARY HORNAK. AND LUKE. TO CODY IS IT'S CODY. SICK. OH, GOD. A LOOK SEE CARD I LIVE AT 10 10 1 OLD EAGLE RIVER LINE. BASICALLY THE STREET ON THE SOUTH AND KIND OF ON THE BORDER OF THE PARK PROPERTY AND THE SCHOOL IS WHERE I LIVE. I'M REALLY HERE ON BEHALF OF THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, ONE OF FIVE MEMBERS OF THE HOMEOWNERS, SOC ATION AND THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT ON BEHALF OF THE HOMEOWNERS WE'D LIKE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND. ONE IS THE TIMING OF THE PARK. THERE IS A PARK THAT WAS PLANNED FOR AND WAS BUILT. IN ANOTHER PART OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT FELL BEHIND MANY YEARS BEFORE IT WAS BUILT GEORGE WEBB PARK. TOOK A LONG, LONG TIME TO BE BUILT. AND OBVIOUSLY WHAT GOES IN PARKS THESE DAYS IS A NURSERY STOCK.
SO I WOULD LIKE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHEN THIS PARK MIGHT GET SCHEDULED IN. AND I'D LIKE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ON BEHALF OF THE OH AGAIN WHAT WILL BE PUT IN THERE? UM BECAUSE WHEN I ATTENDED THE PLANNING AND ZONING PUBLIC HEARING WEDNESDAY MOMENT THAT WAS MADE WAS THAT 85 FT TOWER WOULD BE OVERTIME HARDLY NOTICEABLE THAT WOULD JUST BLEND INTO THE PARK. AND IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN THAT PLOT OF LAND, IT'S SCORCHED EARTH. IT'S FLAT AS IRAQ THERE WAS NOTHING. SO WE'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THE TIMING OF THE PARK. THE SECOND THING IS THAT DETENTION POND OR BASIN THAT YOU MENTIONED, SIR? UM IT'S SERVING THE COMMUNITY. IT'S THE H O. A.
THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF IT AND THE UPKEEP OF IT. THERE IS DANGER OF EROSION OVER TIME OF THE BANKS OF THAT DETENTION POND. AND AGAIN ON BEHALF OF THE HOMEOWNERS. WE'D LIKE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DRAINAGE PLAN IS GOING TO BE FOR THIS JOINT. NORMA'S PAD OF CONCRETE THAT'S GOING IN THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A TOWER. IT'S GOING TO HAVS GOING TO HAVE LANDSCAPING AND CERTAINLY WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE DRAINAGE WILL BE DEALT WITH SO THAT IT DOESN'T OTHER THAN NATURAL CAUSES DOESN'T HURT THE. THE DETENTION POND OR BASIN ANYMORE THAN IT MIGHT. LASTLY I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THE CITY AND THE I GUESS THE CITY BECAUSE ON APRIL 12TH, WHICH IS A MERE THREE WEEKS AGO, WE ATTENDED A MEETING WHERE I BELIEVE WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PIECE OF LAND IN QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE PURCHASED. IF THIS TOWER STRUCTURE WAS GOING TO BE APPROVED. AND IT SOUNDED TONIGHT LIKE THE PARK'S ALREADY OWNED BY THE CITY. SO I CONGRATULATE THE CITY ON THE SPEED AT WHICH IT OPERATES. IT'S FASTER THAN MOST OF US WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THINGS. THANKS AGAIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. RIGHT COULD THE APPLICANT COME BACK UP? START WITH A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. SO YES, SIR. WHY NOT THE WATER TOWER AND SMALL CELL SO I CAN CERTAINLY SPEAK TO THE WATER TOWER, AND THAT WAS DEMONSTRATED BOTH IN THE PROPAGATION MAPS THAT WERE PROVIDED LAST LAST SUMMER. WHEN WE WERE INITIALLY BEFORE, UM WE ACTUALLY PROVIDED PROPOSED PROPAGATION MAPS IF I RECALL CORRECTLY CHEWING BEFORE OUR EXISTING COVERAGE, SHOWING THE ONE WITH THE FOR ELEMENTARY TOWER AND SPECIFICALLY WITH THE ADDITIONAL BECAUSE I KNOW I ASKED THE QUESTION BEFORE THE AND THE WATERTOWN. I REMEMBER YOU ANSWERED THE WATER TOWER BACK WHEN AND I'VE SEEN THEM AT BUT I'M ASKING THAT THE. WATER TOWER IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUPPLEMENTED WITH THE SMALL CELL. NODES DOWN ALONG
[00:45:03]
INDEPENDENCE THAT WAS JUST DISCUSS THE I'D HAVE TO SPEAK WITH VERIZON TO SEE WHAT FACTORS, IF ANY, WOULD KEEP THEM FROM FROM USING A SMALL CELL SOLUTION. I KNOW THAT REQUIRES AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY, AND TYPICALLY, THOSE AGREEMENTS COVER THE ENTIRE CITY. IN OTHER WORDS, ALLOW A WIRELESS CARRIER TO LAST MORE SUN NODES. UM THROUGHOUT THE MUNICIPALITY HAVE LIMITED UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE, BUT I'M GLAD TO SPEAK WITH VERIZON ABOUT THAT. AND SEE, UM UM. WHY OR IF THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED. MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WITH WITH THESE CARRIERS. IS THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE TYPICALLY NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF WASTING MONEY PURSUING OPTIONS WHEN THERE IS A BETTER OPTION AVAILABLE, AND SO I WOULD SAY I WOULD JUST SAY THAT IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THAT WOULD ADDRESS THE COVERAGE LEADING THE WAY. MY ACTUALLY AS I LOOK AT IT, I THINK THE BIGGER PROBLEM AND APOLOGIZE CONSIDERING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE SMALL CELL NODES HAVE VERY, VERY LIMITED REACH IN TERMS OF THEIR HOW WIDE THEY HAVE THE COVERAGE AREA THAT THEY PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR, UM I'D HAVE TO LOOK AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS. BUT I COULD I COULD SAY SAFELY THAT THE COVERAGE ALONG THE ROAD THERE TO THE EAST WOULD NOT STRETCH TO THE HOMES TO THE WEST OF FOR ELEMENTARY. UM THOSE ARE VERY THE SMALL CELLS ARE VERY, VERY LIMITED COVERAGE SOUNDS A COUPLE 100, FT OR LESS, ARE THEY? THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT, AND A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE IT'S A LINE OF SIGHT TECHNOLOGY AND BECAUSE THOSE THOSE ARE THOSE BECAUSE THEY'RE INSTALLED ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT, A UTILITY POLE. YOU JUST DON'T SEE THEM ONCE THEY GET PAST ONE BUILDING, AND SO, UM, IT'S JUST NOT REALLY A SOLUTION THAT WOULD THAT WOULD ADDRESS THE OVERALL COVERAGE NEED WE HAVE GREAT COVERAGE ALONG THE ROAD. AND THAT'S PROBABLY AS I AS YOU'RE TALKING. I REMEMBERED FROM THE SMART CITY SYMPOSIUM. THAT'S RIGHT. REMEMBER THAT? THEY PROVIDE GREAT SOLUTIONS AND VERY PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. BUT IT'S NOT HOW YOU ADDRESS A BIG HOLE IN COVERAGE LIKE WE HAVE IN THIS LOCATION. ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE. INVESTIGATED EVERY POSSIBLE LOCATION. GO AHEAD. IT COULD BE USED FOR THE TOWER WE WENT THROUGH AFTER LAST SUMMER. WE WENT THROUGH AN EXHAUSTIVE ANALYSIS OF EVERY POSSIBLE FRANKLY, NONRESIDENTIAL TRACKED, AND EVEN ONE RESIDENTIAL TRACKED THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS IN THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST. THERE. RIGHT HERE IS TECHNICALLY OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, AND WE INVESTIGATED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE , UM, THE BEST WAY TO TRY TO ADDRESS THIS COVERAGE NEEDS. COURT TO A CITY STAFF OVER MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS MULTIPLE VIDEOCONFERENCES MULTIPLE. HUNDREDS OF EMAILS TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD NO STONE WAS LEFT UNTURNED. SO I CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT WE'VE WE'VE LOOKED AT EVERY POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS WHAT WE'VE COME UP WITH. SINCE YOU DREW UP THERE. WHAT WHAT WAS THE ISSUE WITH THE FUTURE CIRCLE? IT'S RESIDENTIAL PRIVATELY OWNED AND SUBJECT TO A SERIES OF DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT IT, SO WE NEED A VOTE OF THE RESIDENCES THAT OWN THAT PROPERTY TO INSTALL A TOWER ON JUST THIS PROPERTY. QUESTIOND SPARE THE PARK. I KNOW IT'S KIND OF ADDRESSED. I'LL TRY. I'VE TALKED. I'VE TALKED TO STAFF AND I THINK WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET THAT GOING TO LOOK AT JENNY. CORRECT ME. SHE'S COMING UP HERE. I DO WANT TO ADDRESS THE DRAINAGE. THE GENTLEMAN MENTIONED CERTAINLY WILL ALL BE ENGINEERED. ABSOLUTELY WE HAVE MET WITH ENGINEERING ALREADY ON THOSE ISSUES THAT WILL NOT IMPACT THE NEXT DOOR DETENTION. JENNY, WHERE'D YOU GO? GINNY BAKER PARKS DEPARTMENT. WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE THIS SCHEDULED ON OUR SIP AS AS AN ACTIVE PROJECT . IT IS ON THE HORIZON, THOUGH.UM, YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO DELIVER ONE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD PARK A YEAR. THIS YEAR WE'RE DOING. WE DELIVERED PRESTWICK PARK NEXT YEAR. WE'VE GOT TWO OTHERS COMING ONLINE, SO THIS ONE'S A LITTLE BIT BEHIND IT. UM PROBABLY 2 TO 3 YEARS AS MR HAUSER SAID. AND I THINK ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS HOW WE DESIGN IT. HOW WE, YOU KNOW, GO ABOUT DESIGNING THE PARK BEFORE WE EVER PUT ANYTHING TO PAPER. WE WOULD, OF COURSE, GO TO THE RESIDENTS FIRST GO TO PUBLIC INPUT. UM PUBLIC SURVEYS. YOU KNOW, I COULD ASSUME OR WE COULD ASSUME THAT IT WOULD HAVE YOUR
[00:50:05]
TYPICAL AMENITIES SUCH AS A LOOP TRAIL PAVILION PLAYGROUND POSSIBLE BASKETBALL COURT. YOUR TYPICAL ITEMS AND WE WOULD GO TO THE RESIDENTS AND YOU GET THAT THROUGH THEM. AND YOU KNOW, WE COME TO A KIND OF A COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT BEFORE WE GO INTO FULL DESIGN. HAVE A QUESTION FOR JENNY. JENNY. IF I'M CORRECT THE PARKS BOARDS MEETINGS ARE PUBLIC MEETINGS. FOLKS CAN'T COME. THE NEXT ONE IS BEING HELD NEXT THURSDAY, MAY 12TH AND, UM ANY CITIZEN WHO WANTS TO KNOW MORE CAN'T COME TO THAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT GET AN ANSWER AT THAT MEETING, BUT ONE WOULD BE FORTHCOMING. AND I WOULD SAY THAT YOU KNOW, I THINK SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US WERE EXTRAORDINARILY PROUD OF OUR PARKS SYSTEM HERE IN MCKINNEY. WERE EXTRAORDINARILY GRATEFUL FOR THE CREATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT FORTH HERE AND THE PROGRESS OF THAT DEPARTMENT. IN MY 26 YEARS. HERE'S A RESIDENT HAS BEEN REMARKABLE, SO I'D EXPECT NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS AT THIS PARK WHENEVER IT COMES ON THE AGENDA. THANK YOU. SO WOULD WE.THE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR. ALRIGHT. IS THERE A MOTION? CAN I MAKE A COMMENT? MR MAYOR? I'M SORRY. UM YOU KNOW? THIS IS A BIG PIECE OF CLOTHES. PUBLIC PUBLIC. MOVED CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. CAST YOUR VOTE. SORRY, PATRICK, YOU'RE RIGHT. GET THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS. NO, I DIDN'T THINK OF IT EITHER. OKAY YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN UP HERE A SHORT TIME, BUT I'VE OFTEN HEARD THAT WE WERE LED TO EXPECT X AND YOU'RE DELIVERING. WHY? UM IT'S FAIR TO SAY YOU WEREN'T LEFT.
YOU KNOW YOU WEREN'T LED TO EXPECT X FROM THIS BODY. IT WAS PROBABLY A REALTOR. PROBABLY MAYBE A NEIGHBOR OR SOMEBODY LIKE THAT. WEARY PROFOUNDLY QUICKLY GROWING CITY. UM THINGS DO CHANGE. EXPECTATIONS MAY HAVE BEEN SET IN PROPERLY. THE OTHER THING IS, THOUGH, REMARKING ABOUT THE LESSONS OF THE PANDEMIC, ONE OF THE OTHER LESSONS THAT I HAVE TAKEN TWO GREAT HEART. I'M GRATEFUL THAT MY CHILDREN DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL AND ANY LEVEL DURING THIS OR MY GRANDKIDS, BUT BANDWIDTH IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IS ONE THING THAT THE PANDEMIC, TITUS AND THE CITY IS BEING VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT ANY DEVELOPMENT. WE'RE DOING THAT WE CAN CONTROL IT HAVING FIVE G INFRASTRUCTURE PUT IN THERE AND PUTTING THOSE THAT THOSE CANDLELIT LINES DOWN THERE. WE THINK THAT IT IS GOING TO MAKE US MUCH MORE COMPETITIVE ON A NUMBER OF LEVELS TO HAVE THAT THEIR SCHOOL KIDS WHO JUST DON'T HAVE BANNED WITH TO BE ABLE TO GET ON. THEY'VE BEEN PROVIDED DEVICES. BUT THEY SIMPLY COULDN'T GET ON AND ANYTHING THAT THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP WITH THAT BAND WIDTH. I PERSONALLY HAVE AN APPETITE TO DO. UM I MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PARKS. I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M PROMISING. NOW IT'S GOING TO BE DELIVERED A FEW YEARS FROM NOW, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO HAS NOT BEEN TO A PARKS BOARD MEETING HAS NOT SEEN SOME OF THE NEW PARTS. THE BREATHTAKING CREATIVITY THAT'S GONE INTO THAT AND THE HUGE ACQUISITION OF LAND IN THE CONNECTIVITY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING IN OUR PARKS.
PLEASE NOTE THAT AS LONG AS I'M UP HERE THE PARKS ARE GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR TOP PRIORITIES. I ALSO REALIZED, THOUGH, THAT YOU'VE GOT NOTHING. YOU GOT DIRT . YOU GOT FLAT AND YOU'RE FIXING TO HAVE AN 85 FT TOWER, AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT. AND I WISH I COULD SAY THAT I COULD HELP MITIGATE THAT, BUT BUT WE CAN'T. AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY BLENDS IN. BUT INITIALLY I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT INITIALLY. NO THAT'S AN INCONVENIENCE. BUT WHAT I WOULD HUMBLY REQUEST IS THAT IT BE LOOKED AT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE BANDWIDTH WHICH GOES INTO HOME SECURITY. IT GOES INTO OUR DAILY LIVES, AND IT GOES INTO KIDS EDUCATION. AND FOR THAT REASON I SUPPORT THIS. YOU KNOW THE COMMENTS AND PATRICK, I'D MAKE COMMENTS THAT YOU MADED WHAT I WOULD SAY. AND I HATE IT FOR THE FOR THOSE WHO WHO LIVE THERE IN BOUGHTON. BUT AS I SAID EARLIER OURSELVES. IT COULD BE A FIELD AND LIGHTED POLLS GOING UP AS WELL. I'M THE COUNCIL MEMBER WHO MADE THE COMMENTS ABOUT THE 1996 TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT IN THE PROLIFERATION OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY BACK THEN, AND HOW IT'S GIVEN THE UPPER HAND TO TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES RIGHT NOW. AND I'M SITTING IN A POSITION WHERE I
[00:55:01]
CAN KEEP THE FLYING POLE OUT OF YOUR FRONT YARD. BUT I CAN'T KEEP IT OUT OF YOUR SIDE. UH AND I KNOW THAT IT FINDS SIT HERE AND VOTE AGAINST THIS THAT I'VE JUST SPENT A LOT OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS FIGHTING A LAWSUIT THAT I'M NOT GOING TO WIN. AND THEN MY BEING A GOOD STEWARD OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS BY DOING THAT. NO I'M NOT. I'M THROWING MONEY AWAY BECAUSE I KNOW THE ULTIMATE CALL ON THIS. IT'S GOING TO BE THAT THEY GET TO BUILD THEIR TOWER. AND THAT GOES BACK TO STATUTE THAT WAS CREATED BACK IN 1996 BY GOVERNMENT OTHER THAN THIS GOVERNMENT. BUT WHEN YOU SIT BACK AND LOOK AT THIS, UH EACH AND ALL OF US BROUGHT THIS ON HERSELF BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONES WHO WANTED TO HOP ON YOUR PHONE AND HAVE SOMETHING DELIVERED TO YOUR HOUSE TOMORROW MORNING. AND WHEN IT CAME TIME WHERE WE COULD FLY FROM ONE CITY TO THE NEXT AND TWO HOURS WE HAD TO PUT UP WITH THE NOISE OF THE AIRCRAFT FLYING OVER WHEN WE WENT TO AUTOMOBILES. WE HAD TO PUT UP WITH THE SOUND OF THE CARS DRIVING BY ON OUR ROADWAY. AND NOW YOU GET TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD AND YOU GET ACCESS TO ALL THE INFORMATION YOU CAN POSSIBLY HANDLE IN A LIFETIME IN A FEW SECONDS, AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE CELL TOWER IN YOUR FRONT YARD. AND SO ONE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS EVERYBODY GO HOME AND DESTROY YOUR CELLPHONES AND YOUR COMPUTERS AND GO BACK TO LIVING LIFE WHEN IT WAS GOOD. UH AND RAJ BICYCLE ORGY NEIGHBORS AND RANG THE DOORBELL AND SECOND, BILLY COME OUT AND PLAY. THAT'S MY IDEA OF NETWORKING. IT WORKED WELL BACK THEN THERE WAS A WHOLE LOT HAPPIER THAN THAN I AM NOW AND SO NOBODY CAN SIT HERE AND SAY I'M WILLING TO PUT AWAY MYSELF PHONE JUST SO I DON'T HAVE A CELL TOWER IN MY FRONT YARD. AND SO WE BROUGHT IT ON OURSELVES. AND THIS IS THE COST OF PROGRESS AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP IT. AND I'M IN A BAD SPOT HERE BECAUSE I CAN VOTE AGAINST IT AND SPEND A MILLION DOLLARS OF YOUR MONEY FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE IN A LAWSUIT. OR WE CAN GO AHEAD AND PROVE IT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT SOME POINT IN TIME, AND I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT WE DID A GREAT JOB OF KEEPING IT OUT OF YOUR FRONT YARD. BUT WE CAN'T KEEP IT OUT OF YOUR SIGHT. AND THAT'S JUST THE COST OF PROGRESS . AND I'M SORRY THAT I'M IN THIS POSITION EXPLAINED TO YOU, BUT YOU ALL HAVE THE OPTION. NOW GO HOME AND THROW AWAY YOUR CELL PHONES AND COMPUTERS AND LIVE LIFE AGAIN. WE'LL GET RID OF THE CELL TOWERS. THANK YOU. I'M GONNA THROW A LEFT CURVE AND JUST TAKES A MOMENT TO HAVE A GIVE A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. UM YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING READY FOR THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION AGAIN.CHARLIE SAID SOMETHING MADE ME THINK ABOUT THIS. UM YOU KNOW, THE FCC THAT REGULATION, OF COURSE BEEN ON A FEDERAL LEVEL, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF STATE LEVEL THINGS THAT HAVE TRANSPIRED AND HAPPENED AND UTILITY COMPANIES AND A COUPLE OF SESSIONS AGO WERE SUCCESSFUL IN TAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OUT OF OUR TAXPAYERS POCKETS HERE BY THINGS THAT THEY THEY GOT PAST AND I'LL TELL YOU THEY GET A PASS BECAUSE THEY SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LOBBYING DOWN IN AUSTIN. AND IT'S A GREAT BUMPER STICKER. YOU PROBABLY HEARD IT, YOU'LL HEAR IT AS LEGISLATION COMES AROUND THIS TIME. YOU'VE GOT LEGISLATORS SAYING, HEY, WE'VE GOT TO GET RID OF TAXPAYER FUNDED LOBBYISTS LOBBYING THAT WORK AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF THE TAXPAYER. THAT'S THAT'S EASY TO SELL IN A ON A BUMPER STICKER UNTIL YOU GET INTO THE REAL DEBATE, AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE AS A CITY ARE DOWN IN AUSTIN, LOBBYING AGAINST SOME OF THE BILLS THAT ARE PRESENTED ONE THAT WE FOUGHT AGAINST BUT AGAIN GOT PAST ANYWAY. WHY BECAUSE, QUITE FRANKLY, THAT UTILITY COMPANY HAD A WHOLE LOT MORE MONEY THAN ALL OF US ARE CITIES COMBINED. PROBABLY IN MONEY THEY SPENT ON LOBBYING, BUT WHAT WE ARE DOING DOWN THERE IS FIGHTING AGAINST. UM LAWS THAT ARE GETTING PAST THAT IMPACT THE CITY ON A VERY IN A VERY NEGATIVE WAY. AND IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT BIG CORPORATION MONEY LOBBY MONEY EMPOWERED TEXANS MONEY AND ALL OF THAT MONEY THAT'S GOING DOWN TO BEING SPENT IN AUSTIN. IS NOT IS NOT WHAT IS PERPETUATING MANY OF THESE LAWS THAT END UP IMPACTING US AND UNFUNDED MANDATES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. YOU'RE JUST YOU'RE JUST NOT DOING ENOUGH HOMEWORK. UM, AND WHY WOULD YOU YOU'RE NOT IN THIS POSITION. I GET IT, BUT YOU'LL BE HEARING THIS A LOT COMING UP TAXPAYER FUNDED LOBBYISTS. UM, GREAT SOUND BITE.
UM UNTIL YOU GET INTO THE REAL ISSUE, AND YOU REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHAT ARE WE DOWN THERE FIGHTING AGAINST SO SORRY FOR THAT. BUT YOU'LL SEE IT COMING UP. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. I'LL JUST SAY I AGREE WITH A LOT OF WHAT'S SAID 11 BUILT A HOUSE SEVEN YEARS AGO.
WE DON'T HAVE PHONE LINES. I'VE GOT 16 YEAR OLD KIDS THAT HAVE NEVER HAD A LANDLINE IN THEIR
[01:00:04]
HOUSE. AND I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS STUFF MORE LIKE, UM NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE AND PLAN FOR IT AND I WAS FOR THE LAST ONE FOR THIS ONE. I WOULD JUST SAY I WAS ONE OF THE COUNCIL. I WAS THE COUNCILWOMAN WHO VOTED AGAINST THIS ITEM LAST SUMMER FROM FROM MULTITUDE OF REASONS BUT REALLY WANTED TO LISTEN TO THE CONCERNS OF THE PARENTS AT THAT SCHOOL. UM IN TERMS OF JUST THE AMOUNT OF SPACE THAT THEY HAD FOR THE KIDS TO PLAY OUTSIDE, AND I AGREED WITH CHARLIE AT THE TIME THAT THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE FOUND AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE BEST ALTERNATIVE THAT YOU WOULD LOVE TO SEE, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY BETTER THAN WHERE IT WAS. SO I'M ACTUALLY I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR WORKING ON THIS AND HELPING US TO FIND A DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVE. THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE THE MOST FAVORABLE. IT IS CERTAINLY BETTER. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR THAT. WITH THAT ENTERTAINING MOTION. MR MAYOR. I MOVED THAT WE APPROVED. THIS ITEM IS SUBMITTED. FOR A SECOND. SECOND CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION DOES PASS. WE WILL COME BACK NOW TO ITEM 220003 TWO CONDUCTED POP, CARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT ON A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP SALES.BEST PRICED AUTOGRAPH LOCATED 7 51 NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY. YEAH. OKAY? THE NEXT START, AND I'M SORRY THAT I SORRY. THREE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST TO APOLOGIZE. WE WILL HOLD THAT.
WHAT I JUST SAID. AND WE WILL. ITEM 2 TO 0405 YEARS. SURE MR HAZARD. YOU WANT ME TO DO THIS?
[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release incident to Hemphill, LLC v. City of McKinney, Texas Civil Action No. 4:21-cv-00655, United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas (Sherman Division) and a related Land Option and Lease Agreement by and between Said Parties]
BECAUSE WE CAN KEEP FIGHTING THE LAWSUIT? NO I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS TO CHARLIE'S POINT AND NOT SPENDING ANY MORE TAXPAYER DOLLARS ON LAWSUIT ITEM 2 TO 0405 ACT ON A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SYDNEY MERGER TO EXECUTE A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE INCIDENT. TO HEM FILLED LLC DIVERSITY.

AND THE SHORT OF IT IS THIS ACTION THAT WE JUST PASSED RELEASING DISMISS THIS LAWSUIT? YES, IT WILL, AND I DID WANT TO MAKE ONE OTHER COMMENT FOR THE CITIZENS. RELATING TO THE PROPERTY. THIS PROPERTY IS BEING CONVEYED TO THE CITY AT NO COST . AND SO THERE IS NO TAXPAYER COST FOR. THIS WAS NEGOTIATED MANY YEARS AGO. AT THE PARK, AND THAT WAS SOME GOOD NEWS. I WANTED TO THROW INTO THIS DISCUSSION. THERE WASN'T THAT ALSO THE REASON WHY THE PORK GOT EXPEDITED INTO THE HANDS OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY BECAUSE OF THEIR CELL TOWER ISSUE. YES, SIR. AND SADLY, THE FOLKS WHO CARED ABOUT THAT IF LEFT AND DID NOT HEAR THAT. THANK YOU FOR STAYING. SO WE RECOMMEND. SURE THAT WAS YOUR NEIGHBORS. WRITE HIM A LETTER OKAY TO THE VIDEO, WRITE THEM A LETTER ON THE DOOR. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR HAUSER. IS THERE A MOTION PUBLIC HEARING, MR. THEN I MOVED THAT WE APPROVED. THIS IS SUBMITTED. I'LL SECOND IS CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES. WE'RE BACK TO THE ATOM. I READ[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit for Automobile Dealership Sales (Best Price Auto Group), Located at 751 North Central Expressway, and Accompanying Ordinance]
BEFORE I WON'T READ ALL OF IT, BUT IT IS 22003 SCP TWO, AND IT'S THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP. ON 7 51 NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY.ALRIGHT SO AS YOU READ, MR MAYOR , THIS IS AN S U P REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7 51, NORTH CENTRAL. IT'S BEST RIGHT EXPRESSWAY. AND IN BETWEEN BOTH DARK ROAD AND NORTH PARK ROAD. UM THESE DOTING ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS C PLAN CENTER, WHICH DOES REQUIRE THE CONSIDERATION OF AN SCP TO ALLOW FOR THE PROPOSED AUTOMOTIVE USE ON THE TRACT. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THERE WE GO TO AIR IS PROPOSING THE DISPLAYED S U P EXHIBIT, WHICH WOULD SPELL OUT THE LAYOUT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRACT. UM YOU HAVE SEEN THIS
[01:05:04]
SITE BEFORE? IF YOU RECALL. I BELIEVE IT WAS LATE LAST YEAR EARLY THIS YEAR, THE APPLICANT WAS BEFORE THE COUNCIL REQUESTING AN S U P FOR THIS SITE FOR AN AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP. ULTIMATELY THE COUNCIL DID RECOMMEND OR DENY THAT REQUEST. THE APPLICANT IS BACK THE LAYOUT THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS PRESENTED LAST TIME, MOST NOTABLY, THE LAYOUT NOW INCLUDES MUCH MORE IN INDOOR DISPLAY SPACE AS OPPOSED TO AN OUTDOOR INVENTORY LOT FOR THE PROPOSED DEALERSHIP. SIMILAR TO STAFF POSITION THE LAST TIME THAT THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST WAS CONSIDERED A STAFF IS UNABLE TO SUPPORT THE S U P. GIVEN THE DIRECTIVE THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY ON PRESERVING THE HIGHWAY FRONTAGE IS FOR USES OTHER THAN AUTO DEALERSHIP USES. WE DID INCLUDE IN THE PACKET SOME INFORMATION THAT WE CONSIDERED. THIS IS JUST AN EXHIBIT TO SHOW WHERE EXISTING DEALERSHIPS ARE CURRENTLY ALONG 75 WHERE THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING. THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP, GIVEN THE DIRECTORS THAT WE HAD FROM THE COUNCIL, THE PRIOR DENIAL THAT WE DID RECEIVE FROM YOU ALL THE LAST TIME THIS WAS CONSIDERED. WE DID NOT FEEL THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING COMPELLING TO CHANGE OUR RECOMMENDATION THIS TIME AROUND, SO THAT IS WHY WE ARE UNABLE TO SUPPORT IT NOW. THIS ITEM WAS CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AT THEIR LAST MEETING, AND THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND A VOTE OF FIVE TO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND I KNOW OUR APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. HAVE A QUESTION. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR YOU OR MR HAUSER. BUT IN THE EVENT THAT WE APPROVED THIS YES. WHAT I WOULD CALL AND INDOOR. CAR SALES FACILITY BELIEVE THERE'S 14 OUTDOOR PARKING PLACES ON THIS PROPOSAL. AH WANT GUARANTEED. DO I HAVE IN? THIS S U P THAT IT DOES NOT GET SOLD TO SOMEONE WHO RAISES THE BUILDING AND MAKES IT AN OUTDOOR CAR FACILITY. AND CAN I BUILD THAT INTO THE S U P AND THE ZONING SO IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. SO RIGHT NOW BEFORE YOU AS AN S U P SO THE ZONING IS IN PLACE, SO IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS THE DESIRE OF THE COUNCIL, I BELIEVE WE CAN ADD THAT INTO THE S U P ORDINANCE RIGHT NOW. THE WAY OUR ZONING ORDINANCE WORKS IS IT IS SILENT ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT AUTO SALES HAS TO BE INDOOR OUTDOOR. SO IF LIMITING THE AUTO SALES TO BEING AN INDOOR DISPLAY SALES ONLY DESIRE IN THE COUNCIL WE CAN CERTAINLY BUILD THAT INTO THE S U P THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND THAT WOULD RUN WITH THE LAND. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. THANK YOU. MM. YEAH, FOR ME, UM. WELL, ANOTHER THING I THINK THAT THIS DEALERSHIP, OF COURSE, HAS A CURRENT DEALERSHIP ON HOW A FIVE WHICH IS IN PROXIMITY TO WHERE WE ARE. I'M DOING A LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT AND WHATNOT. UH THERE IS AN AGREEMENT. I BELIEVE THAT HAS BEEN DRAFTED AND WILL BE EXECUTED THAT WILL HAVE THEM IN ESSENCE CEASE AND THAT WILL RUN WITH THE LAND ANY FURTHER AUTOMOBILE USE, SO IT'S WE'RE NOT UM SO THAT'S SOMETHING OF NOTE. FOR ME, THE. THE CHANGE AND THROW THAT LOVE YOUR QUESTION, SAY THE THIRD TIME. UM THE WHAT? HAS ME IN SUPPORT OF IT NOW VERSUS THEN, IS THE FACT THAT THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A BIG STRUCTURE, WHICH ALSO COMES WITH ADVIL OR IN VALUE AND WHATNOT THAT BENEFITS THE CITY AND I ALSO KNOW WITH THAT VERY, VERY SHALLOW DEPTH, AND THE FIRE LINE HAS TO BE AROUND THE ENTIRE THING. THERE IS VERY LITTLE OF ANYTHING THAT CAN GO. ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY AGAIN. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, AND YOU SEE THE SHALLOW DEPTH OF IT, AND YOU REALIZE THAT IF IT WASN'T A SHOWROOM WITH CARS ON THE INTERIOR, WHERE WOULD. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE SHE COULD REALLY BUILD THAT WOULD HAVE AMPLE PARKING TO SUPPORT IT. SO I WITH THOSE CONDITIONS, AND SO I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FAVOR OF IT. ABSENT THE GENIUS COMMENT AND ADDITION THAT YOU HAVE RECOMMENDED, SO THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT. FOR ME, WHICH WILL NOW BE A BETTER WAY TO SUPPORT IT. AND I HATE THAT. YOU THOUGHT OF SOMETHING I DIDN'T JUST REALLY, REALLY DON'T LIKE THAT. BUT HAVE TO EMBELLISH IT. YOU HAVE THE MATCHING COLLARS, MR MAYOR. I'LL STEP ASIDE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT UP WITH THE AFGHAN LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE ADAM. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND BOB ROEDER, 1700 RED BUD SUITE 300. ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. TO RESPOND TO THE GENIUS QUESTION.MR PHILLIPS AND I IT WAS A WONDERFUL QUESTION. I ALSO THINK THAT THE S U P IN IN THIS
[01:10:07]
INSTANCE REQUIRES THAT WE BUILD THE BUILDING AND THAT THE BUILDING REMAINS. IT ALSO LIMITS THE NUMBER OF OUTDOOR DISPLAY SPACES TO 14. NOW WHILE WE HAVE NO OBJECTION TO REQUIRING INDOOR THAT THIS BEING INTO OUR AUTO SALES I THINK YOU'RE PROTECTED, BUT BASICALLY WHAT YOU JUST SAID, IS WHAT'S IN THERE NEGATES THE GENIUS THAT I CAN RETRACT. RETRACT THAT WOULD. HERE'S WHAT I LIKE TO RETRACT ABOUT KEN. HERE'S WHAT I WOULD SAY IS A COUNCIL MEMBER. PHILLIPS CERTAINLY HAS GREAT SUSPENDERS TO GO WITH THE BELT OF THE S U P UM, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE OF ESPECIALLY USED CAR SALES. THEY THE AGE OF HAVING DISPLAY LIGHTS OUT THERE AND PEOPLE DRIVE BY AND COME OUT AND KICK TIRES IS OVER. IT'S GONE.UNLESS YOU'RE SELLING JUNKERS IF YOU'RE SELLING UPSCALE USED CARS. 90% OF THAT BUSINESS IS DONE ON THE INTERNET. AND WHEN PEOPLE COME TO YOUR DEALERSHIP, WHETHER IT'S A NEW CAR DEALERSHIP OR A USED CAR DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE ALREADY SHOPPED ONLINE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT, OR THEY KNOW WITHIN TWO OR THREE SELECTIONS, WHAT THEY WANT. AND A SMART CAR DEALER GOING FORWARD, THE SMART USED CAR DEALER GOING FORWARD IS ONE THAT WILL PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT FOR IT'S CUSTOMER. TO BE OUT OF THE WEATHER. OUT OF THE HEAT OUT OF THE COLD AND IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN SEE A CLEAN CAR. IF THEY WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE EMPLOYEE OF THE DEALERSHIP DRIVES A CAR OUT LETS THEM DO A TEST DRIVE. BUT THIS IS ALL BEING CONDUCTED INSIDE IN MANY CASES, AS WE ALL SEE ON TELEVISION. A LOT OF SALES HAPPEN WITH THE PEOPLE NOT EVEN BEING IN THE PHYSICAL PRESENCE OF THE CAR. SO WHILE I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THIS IS UNIQUE WHAT I WOULD SUBMIT TO YOU IS MY CLIENT IS REALLY GETTING ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF WHERE THIS TYPE OF BUSINESSES GOING NUMBER ONE. SECONDLY, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF AUTO USES THAT CAN GO ON THIS TRACK WITHOUT AN ISSUE. P YOU CAN HAVE CAR MAINTENANCE FACILITY. YOU CAN HAVE A. JIFFY LUBE. YOU CAN HAVE A CAR WASH FACILITY. ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF THAT YOU HAVE SEEN THAT IS AUTOMOTIVE CAN GO ON THIS ZONING, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SALES. UNDER THE CURRENT ORDINANCE, BUT NONE OF THOSE USES ARE GOING TO CONSTRUCT. A BUILDING THAT TAKES UP THE ENTIRE BUILDABLE PORTION OF THE AREA OR PUT THE KIND OF ADVIL OR TAX ON YOUR TAX ROLLS THAT ARE BUILDING OF THIS MAGNITUDE WILL WILL WILL DO. SO I HAVE APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE EARLIER. I THINK IT HAS DAWNED ON ALL OF US THAT THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT PIECE OF PROPERTY TO DEVELOP. THIS, I WOULD ARGUE IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE WE COULD DO. AND SO I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR FAVORABLE VOTE ON THIS. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? THIS IS A THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. I SHOW ONE PERSON WHO SIGNED UP TO SPEAK STEVE, SPAIN, HOWARD. STEVE SPAIN, OUR 18 36 VIRGINIA AVENUE. MAYOR ALLUDED TO THIS JUST A MOMENT AGO. CIA HAS A VERY HIGH PROFILE HARLOT. FLAT ON THE CORNER OF LOUISIANA IS THE HIGHWAY FIVE, WHICH IS BY THE MIDDLE OF OUR DEVELOPMENT OF TRYING TO BRIDGE THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT WITH THE EAST SIDE DEVELOPMENT AND IT'S LONG BEEN HIS GIRL I'VE KNOWN SEVERAL YEARS I'VE GOT SEVERAL COURSE FORMING, AND HE'S A HE'S A FIRST GENERATION IMMIGRANT, AND HE TOLD ME ONE TIME 70% OF HIS SALES HERE IN MCKINNEY, 30% OF PEOPLE THAT COME FROM OUTSIDE THE CITY, SO HE'S HE'S BRINGING PEOPLE THAT COME AND SPEND MONEY HERE, AND IT'S LONG BEEN USED DESIRE TO BE IN A BETTER LOCATION THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE CITY AS WE DEVELOP THAT AREA OF THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT OVER INTO THE EAST SIDE AND YOU KNOW, I'LL BE THE FIRST TO SAY WE HAVE A LOT OF CAR LOTS, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? HE UH HE'S WILLING TO PUT UP A BUILDING, SPEND HIS MONEY AND TO DO WHAT HE THINKS TO DO FOR HIS BUSINESS, BUT ALSO FOR THE CITY.
I WOULD FULLY SUPPORT IT. I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME SOME COMMENTS THAT MAYBE LIKE POLLUTION MIGHT BE A PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN BY THAT LOT. IT'S HAS BEEN VACANT SINCE GOD CREATED DIRT THINGS THERE, AND I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION. TO FIT INTO THE CAR DEALERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE ALONG THE HIGHWAY, SO I'M FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF IT. WE NEED MORE BUSINESSMEN IN THE CITY THAT THINK ABOUT NOT JUST THEIR NEEDS. BUT THE CITY'S NEEDS AS WELL. AND I THINK SHE
[01:15:05]
IS ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS. HAD SUPPORTED. THANK YOU. THANKS, STEVE. I DON'T TURN ANYONE ELSE.BUT IF YOU HAVE COME TO SPEAK TO THE SIDE OF ME LIKE TO DO SO YOU ARE WELCOME TO PRESENT YOURSELF.
NOT ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MAKE A MOTION THAT WE COULD CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. A SECOND. MR CASTRO. IT'S LIKE THAT. COMPLEMENT THE APPLICANT. AND HIS COUNSEL FOR THEIR APPROACH TO SOLVING A PROBLEM THAT THEY RECOGNIZED HERE IN MCKINNEY AND THAT I THINK THE COUNCIL RECOGNIZED WITH THE AS THAT IX OF US 75 AS THEY EXISTED WHEN WE ALL CAME ON THE COUNCIL. AND I CERTAINLY THINK IT'S CREATIVE. WHETHER IT WAS DRIVEN BY THE MARKET OR NOT. IT'S CERTAINLY A BETTER ALTERNATIVE. UM MAKES MCKINNEY LOOK A LOT BETTER AS YOU DRIVE THROUGH, AND I APPRECIATE THE INGENUITY AND THOUGHT THAT WENT INTO DOING THIS THIS WAY AND CONGRATULATE YOU ON THINKING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. MATTER EMOTION. DO YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, CAUSE I'M GOING TO TALK. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT MR SPINE, OUR PUT IT VERY WELL. AND SO DID MR ROEDER. AH THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT YOU CAN DO WITH THAT PIECE OF LAND BECAUSE OF DOUBT. AND THAT WHOLE AREA IN THERE IS VERY NOT VERY DEEP AND AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN HERE, WHICH IS 57 YEARS, NOTHING'S EVER HAPPENED ON THAT LAND. THIS IS VERY CREATIVE. THEY ACTUALLY PUT A WHOLE BUILDING TO TAKE UP THE WHOLE PROPERTY. AND I AGAIN JUST LIKE CHARLIE, COMMEND THEM ON ON WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO THIS SIDE, AND I'M VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF IT. UM. SIR. I COMMEND YOUR BUSINESS HERE. I SEE THE BENEFIT OF THE ADVIL OR IN VALUE. I SEE THE BENEFIT OF YOU MOVING YOUR BUSINESS AWAY FROM WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW. I UNDERSTAND THAT. THAT'S A WONKY LITTLE LOT ANYWAY , IN MAN, YOU'RE MAXED OUT AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE. I'VE GOT A NUMBER OF CONCERNS, THOUGH. AH! IN MY TIME IN MCKINNEY IN 26 YEARS, WE'VE HAD TWO CAR DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE ON 75 CEASE OPERATIONS. HONDA CARSON MCKINNEY MOVED SOUTH THAT IS NOW THE HOPPER MOTORPLEX. THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP. I DON'T KNOW WHY I WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND THAT IS NOW A POLARIS DEALER, AND IT'S A LOT MORE OF A FOOTPRINT THAN POLARIS REQUIRES . IT'S KIND OF OFF THE BEATEN PATH, RIGHT. IT'S UP THERE BY THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, AND WE DON'T SEE IT VERY OFTEN. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU THINK THERE'S ABOUT FOUR POLARIS IS ON 16 ACRES, AND IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT TO ME. UM WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF CAR DEALERS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE THAT BUSINESS YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD SAY HUMBLY TO MR ROEDER IS THAT I BELIEVE YOU'RE CORRECT IN TERMS OF THE INTERNET BUYING OF THIS, BUT IF THAT'S THE CASE YOU DON'T NEED OR REALLY WANT TO PAY FOR THE VISIBILITY OF BEING ON 75. YOU JUST WANT TO BE IN A WAREHOUSE SOMEWHERE WITH YOUR VEHICLES. THERE'S NO BENEFIT TO THE SIGHTLINES. I'VE ASKED A NUMBER OF CITIZENS. I DON'T ALWAYS DO THE SITE TO KEEP MY OWN COUNSEL. TRY TO LISTEN TO THE ARGUMENTS HERE, BUT I'VE ASKED A NUMBER OF CITIZENS.
ABOUT THIS AND YOU KNOW NO. BUT THE APPETITE HASN'T CHANGED AMONG THE CITIZENRY FOR MORE CAR DEALERS ON 75. FURTHER IF WE LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TODAY, TODAY, THE DODGE RAM JEEP DEALERSHIP HAD A GROUNDBREAKING BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE BUILDING A NEW DEALERSHIP JUST BARELY NORTH ON THE NORTH SIDE OF ROCK HILL FROM WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW. THAT IS GOING TO CREATE ANOTHER FOR MAMA CAR DEALERSHIP. WHERE THEY SIT RIGHT NOW. AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THAT? UM I CONSIDER MYSELF A BIT OF AN AMATEUR FUTURIST. I GET LAUGHED AT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. BUT IF WE LOOK AT THE TESLA MODEL, AND WE THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE THE FUTURE, YOU KNOW, SHOWING THINGS IN THE SHOWROOM. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF EMPTY DEALERSHIPS. IF THAT'S THE CASE IF WE LOOK AT ELECTRIC CARS, AND IF WE LOOK AT FIVE G AND DRIVERLESS CARS THAT'S GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THAT, SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT STAFF ON THIS AND VOTE NOT TO APPROVE THIS ITEM. I AGAIN I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE, SIR. I HAVE, BUT IT ISN'T THE RIGHT THING. I DON'T THINK FOR MCKINNEY PATRICK. I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE. I THINK MY CONCERN IS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY EXPRESSED OUR DESIRE TO HAVE NO MORE CAR DEALERSHIPS DEVELOPED ALONG HIGHWAY 75 THOSE , UH, I DO APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS TO MAKE THIS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. I AGREE WITH PATRICK COMPLETELY. THIS IS JUST NOT THE RIGHT FIT. FOR 75. IT'S NOT THE RIGHT FIT FOR THE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE THERE. UM SO I ALSO CANNOT SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. I'M ON THE ON THE DIFFERENT SIDE OF THAT. I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, I THINK A LOT OF
[01:20:06]
THE FEEDBACK THAT'S RECEIVED ON ON CARGO SHIPS IS MORE ABOUT FORM RATHER THAN FUNCTION. AND I THINK THIS ADDRESS IS THAT ALSO THINK OF SOMEONE WHO INTERACTS WITH THAT 75 WHITE INTERSECTION.MM JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY THERE'S NOT A SOUTHERN EXIT. UM COMING OFF 75 IN THIS AREA IT IT REALLY LIMITS THE ALTERNATE USES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST A LOT OF LIMITATIONS TO THE SITE AND WHILE ELVIS WITH PATRICK TODAY AT THE JEEP GRAND OPENING. UM YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE HIGHER AND BETTER USES FOR THAT DEALERSHIPS CLOSING, THEN THERE WILL BE, YOU KNOW, ALTERNATES THAT COME ALONG, AND THAT'S WHAT WHAT MAKES FOR A COMMUNITY. IS ITS ABILITY TO REPURPOSE AND WE SEE THAT DOWNTOWN AND WE SEE THAT IN OTHER PLACES, AND I DON'T I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LEFT WITH A BUNCH OF EMPTY CARDIO SHIPS ALONG 75 IN THE FUTURE, AS AS THIS FORM CHANGES OR AS WE SEE PROGRESS BEING MADE, SO I GUESS FOR ME UM , YOU KNOW, I THINK THE FORM OF THIS OF THIS SITE, UM, MAKES IT A FIT. I THINK I THINK THE LIMITATIONS THAT CREATE THAT IT CAUSES. REQUIRES THAT THAT DIFFERENT. LOOK AT IT, AND I'M IN FAVOR OF IT. WITH THAT. ENTERTAINER MOTION. MY COMMOTION. WE IMPROVE THIS ITEM.
A SECOND. THIS CASH ABOUT. MOTION PASSES. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM. ETC. CONDUCT A PUBLIC
[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “PD” - Planned Development District to “PD” - Planned Development District, Generally to allow for Single Family Residential and Commercial Uses and to Modify the Development Standards, Located on the North Side of Stacy Road and on the East Side of McKinney Ranch Parkway, and Accompanying Ordinance]
HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON A REQUEST REZONED SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT GENERALLY TO ALLOW FOR SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES AND TO MODIFY THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF STACY ROAD ON THE EAST SIDE OF MCKINNEY RANCH PARKWAY AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE. IT'S ITEM. 210187 Z TWO. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. I DID JUST HAND OVER TO MR HAUSER. WE DID RECEIVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST EARLIER TODAY , SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE PROVIDED THAT TO THE COUNCIL. AS YOU READ THIS AS A REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. IT IS CURRENTLY IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED PD PLANE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR A VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL USES ON THE PROPERTY. THE TRACT ITSELF IS ABOUT 21 ACRES AND SIZE. AND THE APPLICANT IS COMING FORWARD TODAY TO REQUEST A REASON THEM SUBJECT PROPERTY TO PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR NOW I MIX OF COMMERCIAL AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES.AS PROPOSED THE WHAT'S CALLED TRACKED B, WHICH IS THE FRONTAGE ALONG STACY. THROUGH HERE. WHICH IS ABOUT 6.2 ACRES OF WOULD BE RESERVED FOR COMMERCIAL USES AND TRACKED A AND THE REAR SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. WHICH IS ABOUT 14.8 ACRES WOULD BE TO ALLOW FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. ONE THING YOU'LL ALSO NOTE ON THIS ZONING EXHIBIT IS THE EXISTENCE OF A BOULEVARD RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE. AND THAT IS TO EXTEND THE BOULEVARD FEATURE THAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE TRACT. SO WITH THE RESIGNING THAT REQUEST, IN ADDITION TO THE MODIFIED ALLOWED USES ON THE TRACK, THE AFGHAN IS ALSO PROPOSING A SET OF MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, ALL OF WHICH ARE OUTLINED IN YOUR PACKET. STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST WITH THE APPLICANT. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE NOT ABLE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF IT AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE NO OBJECTION TO INTRODUCING RESIDENTIAL USES ON THIS PROPERTY. WE DO HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE AMOUNT OF AREA THAT THOSE RESIDENTIAL USES ARE TAKING UP. SO AS I NOTED, THIS IS ABOUT A 21 ACRE TRACT WITH THE REZONING REQUEST. IT WOULD REDUCE THAT COMMERCIAL FOOTPRINT THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS FROM 20 ABOUT 20 ACRES. TO JUST ABOUT SIX ACRES, AND WE DO HAVE CONCERNS THAT MAY JUST BE TIPPING THE SCALES A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH. WHAT WE WOULD WHAT WE WOULD BE, UM OR CONSIDER WOULD BE TO PRESERVE THE FRONT EDGES ALONG RIDGE AND MCKINNEY RANCH FOR THOSE COMMERCIAL USES AND SORT OF INTERNALIZE THOSE RESIDENTIAL USES. THE PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED ON THE CITY'S CONFERENCE OF PLAN AS URBAN LIVING, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES. SO IT IS CONSIDERED IN ALIGNMENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BUT AGAIN STAFF'S CONCERNS NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DEVELOPMENT
[01:25:01]
STANDARDS OR THE INTRODUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL. IT'S JUST THE AMOUNT OF AREA THAT IT'S TAKING UP, ALL OF WHICH IS OUTLINED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT. THE REQUEST WAS CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, AND THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF IT . UM IN A VOTE OF FIVE TO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND I KNOW OUR APPLICANTS HERE AS WELL. JENNIFER THANK YOU FOR THAT. UM SO THE APPLICANT IS LEAVING THAT PART ALONG STACEY TO BE COMMERCIAL, WHICH MAKES AN ABUNDANCE OF SENSE TO ME. THE DELTA SEEMS TO BE AS FAR AS STAFF GOES. YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND THAT ALONG RIDGE AND MCKINNEY RANCH. WOULD YOU ENVISION? YOU KNOW? YOU SEE THAT LINE THERE? THAT CAR WASHES IN THE YOU KNOW WHAT I WHAT I GUESS. IS THE SOUTHEAST CORNER THERE. WOULD YOU ENVISION KIND OF A LINE GOING STRAIGHT BACK, AND THEN THAT ALL BEING COMMERCIAL AND THEN A SIMILAR DEPTH ALONG MCKINNEY RANCH. SO COULD YOU ROUGHLY DRY OUT WHAT YOU THAT MAY BE A HARD ASK. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE EXACT, BUT JUST DON'T GET WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IS SOMETHING THAT MIGHT GARNER STAFF APPROVAL IN YELLOW. THANK YOU. OKAY? AND I KNOW THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WAS CONSIDERED EARLY ON. I THINK THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME SOME SITE CONSTRAINTS ARE SOME LIMITATIONS ARE CONCERNS WITH THAT FROM THE APPLICANT, AND IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO VISIT WITH THEM ABOUT, I'M SURE THEY BE HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT IT. BUT UM, MY DRIVER DISAPPEARED. I'M NOT SURE WHY, BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT. I GET IT. UM IT. FORGIVE ME IF THIS IS IF I NEED TO USE THE APP CONDEMNED HAPPY, TOO. BUT YOU KNOW, THE CAR WASH IS EITHER THERE OR FATE ACCOMPLI. I MEAN, RIGHT THAT CAR WASH THEIR. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO THINK ABOUT ME FINDING IT ATTRACTIVE TO BUILD HAVE A HOME NEXT TO HER CAR WASH. SO IS THERE ANY OBSTACLE? FORGIVE ME. THAT'S NOT A QUESTION. IS THERE ANY OBSTACLE RIGHT NOW FOR A COMPANY TO BUILD COMMERCIAL ALONG EITHER RIDGE OR MCKINNEY RANCH, NOT THE WELL FROM A ZONING PERSPECTIVE? NO SO THE ZONING ON THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW ALLOWS FOR THAT COMMERCIAL NOW, OBSTACLES AND DEVELOPMENT AND LAYOUTS. I MEAN , I'M NO EXPERT THERE, SO I'M SURE THERE MAY BE SOME CHALLENGES, BUT NO FROM A STANDPOINT NO, THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I GOT. WITH THE APPLICANT COME UP, PLEASE. MR MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MARTIN SANCHEZ, 2000 NORTH MCDONALD HERE IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. SO. THANK YOU. STAFF DATA. GREAT JOB OF GETTING US TO KIND OF THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF HOW WE GOT HERE. I THINK PART OF THE DISCUSSION. UH I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO SOME HISTORY. OF EVERYTHING THAT KIND OF 1 21 CORRIDOR AND HOW WE GOT HERE IF I COULD. SO BACK IN 19 IN THE LATE NINETIES , AND SOME OF US WERE AROUND MR. FRANKLIN, MR HAUSER. AH YOU KNOW , THEN I AM SURE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE AROUND AS WELL. BUT WE INTIMATELY WERE INVOLVED IN IT. HUNDREDS OF HOURS AND LOTS OF PAINSTAKING ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE LONG 1 21 CORRIDOR AT THE TIME I WAS ON STAFF. ONE OF OUR BIG CHALLENGES WAS, WHY IS IT THAT DEVELOPMENT HAS GENERALLY KIND OF GOT INTO A CERTAIN LINE IN ALLEN KIND OF SKIP THIS 1 21 AREA, AND THEN IT PICKS UP AGAIN NORTH OF FM 7 20. WHICH IS NOW MCKINNEY RIDGE PARKWAY. WELL THE SHORT OF IT WAS BAD POLICY. NO INFRASTRUCTURE, RIGHT. THERE WAS NO WATER, NO SEWER ROADS, AND FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE THAT 4500 ACRES PLUS OR MINUS WAS SLATED TO BE ON THE THEN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO BE 4500 ACRES OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION. FOR 4500 ACRES OF ANYONE USE DOESN'T WORK , LET ALONE THAT ALONG 1 21. EVENTUALLY WE CHANGED. THE POLICY INTRODUCED A MIX OF USES MUCH HIGHER DENSITIES THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY. AT THE SAME TIME, WE PARALLELED THE MULTI FAMILY POLICY TO LIMIT MULTI FAMILY EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY. HENCE WHY WE HAVE A CONCENTRATION OF REAL URBAN DESIGN IN THIS AREA IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY. IT WAS INTENDED TO BE THAT WITH THESE COUPLING OF THESE TWO POLICIES AT THE TIME.WE ENDED UP THOSE TWO LARGE PROPERTIES, CRAIG RANCH AND MCKINNEY RANGE SURPRISINGLY, AND IRONICALLY, THE GENTLEMAN THAT SOLD DAVID CRAIG RANGE PARCEL. BY THE NAME OF JEAN PHILLIPS AFTER HE SOLD TO DAVID AND DAVID STARTED THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING CRAIG RANCH. HE ENDED UP BUYING MCKINNEY RANCH, AND SO HE TOOK HIS MONEY, MOVED OVER ONE AND SAID, ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET GOING. LET'S DEVELOP BOTH OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS SIDE BY SIDE. SO WHEN WE FOCUS ON MCKINNEY RIDGE IN THIS STAR IS GOING TO POP UP ON A NUMBER OF SLIDES TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A PLACE MARKET WHERE THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY IN 99 . YOU CAN SEE THERE WERE NO
[01:30:02]
ROADS, NO WATER, NO SEWER. YELLOW TAGS ARE TU WHERE MCKINN, TODAY, WE'RE RIDGES WERE STACY IS AND WE HAD THIS HODGEPODGE OF ZONING THAT WAS MULTI FAMILY. RS 45, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE REALLY SMART SMALL LOT LINES ONLY THAT THE TIME ETCETERA AND THAT'S REALLY KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED AT THAT TIME FRAME. WE FIRST ZONE, THE PROPERTY IN 2000 AND TWO. I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY SINCE THEN. AND I'M KIND OF ABOUT TO BE LIKE REALLY TIRED AND DONE BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF OUR LAST PROPERTIES IN THAT AREA. YOU CAN SEE, WE KIND OF THREW ROADS ON THE GROUND. ZONING BUT WE'RE REALLY JUST STARTING THE THINKING PROCESS AT THE TIME RAGE ACTUALLY CONNECTED TO STACY . FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE AROUND DURING THAT TIME THERE WAS A MCKINNEY OUTER LOOP. THAT ACTUALLY FORM RIGHT THROUGH STONEBRIDGE RANCH AND FOLKS WERE ALL KINDS OF UPSET ABOUT THAT CONCEPT, AND WE HAD TO BREAK THE ROADS UP TO CREATE THE FRAMEWORK THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE TODAY. THE DEVELOPER AT THE TIME FRONT LOADED THE COST TO BUILD ALL THESE ROADS, MR HAUSER AND I SPENT MANY COUNTLESS HOURS ARGUING ABOUT HOW TO GET THIS DONE, BUT WE FINALLY GOT IT DONE. THE DEVELOPER PAID ABOUT $15 MILLION TO GET THE ROAD STUFF WITH CRITICAL IS THAT IT ACTUALLY SET THE FRAMEWORK WITH THE ROADWAYS. WE ALSO SET MEDIAN OPENINGS SO THAT WE WEREN'T HAVING TO COME BACK AND BUILD MEDIAN OPENINGS LATER, WE DID OUR BEST WE COULD TO GUESS AT HOW THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN WOULD WORK. DIDN'T ALWAYS SUCCEED, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE WERE PRETTY ACCURATE, BUT THE MEDIAN OPENINGS ARE VERY, VERY CRITICAL TO HOW LAND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS ACTUALLY WORK PIECES OF THE PUZZLE. THROUGH THAT WE REFINED THE LAND PLANNING AS YOU CAN SEE. NOT VERY LITTLE OF THAT PICTURE. THERE IS ACTUALLY WHAT'S ON THE GROUND. TODAY THE LAND PLANNING HAS BEEN REFINED COUNTLESS OF TIMES. WE'VE REZONED THIS PROPERTY. MR ARNOLD . HALF A DOZEN, MAYBE MORE TIMES GOING ON. MAYBE 10 TIMES THAT WE REZONED THE PROPERTY OVER THE YEARS TO KIND OF GET US HERE AGAIN. AS WE REFINED. WE FOUND WHAT WAS WORKING. WHAT WAS NOT WORKING FOR THE MEDIAN OPENINGS WERE ALWAYS THERE. THE INFRASTRUCTURE STARTED COMING AROUND. AND THIS IS KIND OF HOW WE GET TODAY. AS AN EXAMPLE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BULLET STAFF, AND ARE WE HAVE ALWAYS REFERRED TO THIS AREA AS THE BULLET. WE HAD A SERIES OF BUILDINGS THAT WE THOUGHT, HEY, YEAH, PROBABLY COMMERCIAL MEAN REZONING. WE CAME UP WITH A STRIP OF COMMERCIAL LONG RIDGE ROAD. IT'S CALLED RICH COMMONS AND ON THE BACK SIDE IS WHERE WE WILL INTRODUCE HIDDEN SPRINGS GRADUATED CARE. IT'S A FANTASTIC FACILITY THAT HAS BOTH INDEPENDENT LIVING SOME MEMORY CARE AND SOME FULL BLOWN, UH, NURSING NURSING CARE. IT'S A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF HOW THE LAND USES EVOLVE OVER TIME. IS, IT MAKES SENSE. INTERESTINGLY THE TWO PICTURES ON THE RIGHT UP AND DOWN LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL DESIGN CONCEPT FOR WHAT WE NOW REFER TO AS BARCELONA. I THINK I DID THAT DESIGN CONCEPT IN CIRCUIT 2000 AND SEVEN WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY DEVELOP THAT PROPERTY UNTIL CIRCUIT 2000 AND 14 ISH AND FOR THE MOST PART, WE'VE KEPT THE FORM TOGETHER. NOW THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES. OPEN SPACES SHIFTED. SOME ROADWAY PATTERN SHIFTED, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE KEPT THE ITEMS TOGETHER. JENNIFER, WHICH IS THE POINT THAT I FORGOT. SO AS AN EXAMPLE ONE OF THE PLACES THAT SHIFTED ALSO PART OF THE 2004 ZONING CASE. IS THIS AREA RIGHT IN HERE. IT WAS COMMERCIAL. AS THE AREA DEVELOPED TRAFFIC PATTERNS DEVELOPED. THERE IS A SWEEPING CURVE THAT GOES THERE.SOUTH BONG MCKINNEY RANCH TO WESTBOUND STACY THAT SWEEPING CURVE HAS SUCH HIGH SPEED LIMITS AND THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED COMMERCIAL RULE LONGER MADE SENSE. SO IN 14, WE CONVERTED THERE FROM COMMERCIAL TO TOWN HOMES BECAUSE IT MADE IT WAS THE RIGHT FIT AT THE TIME TO AMELIORATE SOME OF THESE CONCERNS THAT WE WERE ADDRESSING AS THE SITE WAS EVOLVING. SO.
THAT BRINGS US CLOSER TO TODAY. HERE'S THE BOULEVARD THAT WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT. WHEN WE WERE DEVELOPING THE MULTI FAMILY. I'M GONNA GO BACK HERE JUST FOR A SECOND. WELL, WE WERE DEVELOPING THE MULTI FAMILY IN THE CORE OF THE BULLET. WE STARTED WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A REALLY COOL DESIGN FEATURE, WHICH WAS RIGHT SMACK THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THOSE, UH, APARTMENT COMMUNITIES. IN ESSENCE, IT'S FIRE LANE. I'M SORRY. IT'S PARALLEL PARKING FIRE LANE, BABY MEDIUM FIRE LAID PARALLEL PARKING. BUILDING. IN ITS HEAVILY TREED. IT'S A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PEDESTRIAN BOULEVARD, OVERTIME STAFF AND OUR AND US HAVE REALLY COME TO APPRECIATE WHAT WE STARTED FROM A DESIGN CONCEPT. ENOUGH IN THE 2020 REZONING. WE FINALLY CODIFIED THE REST OF THE
[01:35:09]
BOULEVARD TO GO ALL THE WAY TO STACEY TO THE EXISTING MEDIAN OPENING. BUT PRIOR TO THAT, IT WAS A COOL DESIGN FEATURE. BUT THERE WAS NOTHING SAYING THAT WE HAD TO BUILD SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD, THE TOP PICTURES ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT EARLY ON SKETCHES THAT WE DID IN 2000 AND EIGHT ISH OF HOW WE THOUGHT ALL THIS WAS GOING TO DEVELOP. THE MIDDLE PICTURES SHOW YOU HOW IT ACTUALLY DEVELOPED ON THE GROUND. AND YOU CAN SEE WE KEPT VERY CLOSELY TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. INTENT TO CREATE THESE OPEN SPACES. THESE LINEAR PARKS THESE BOULEVARDS.THE BOTTOM PICTURE SHOWS YOU WHAT THAT BOULEVARD LOOKS LIKE. IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PEDESTRIAN CORRIDOR. SO WE AGREED. LET'S KEEP IT IT WAS PART OF THE CRITICAL ELEMENT AND FRAMEWORK. SO LET ME TAKE YOU NOW TO THE COULD. THAT KIND OF GETS US TO TODAY NUTSHELL VERY, VERY QUICKLY. UM IN STATUS REPORT AS YOU CAN SEE IF YOU WERE ABLE TO DIGEST IT BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THERE. IT TALKS ABOUT THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THE LAND USE CHARACTERISTICS IN THE LAND USE COMPATIBILITY. THROUGH THE GUARDIAN PRINCIPLES. PROPOSED REZONING REQUEST IS GENERALLY CONFORM US WITH THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF DIVERSITY ESTABLISHED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UNDER PREFERRED SCENARIO FOR THE PREFERRED SCENARIO. THIS IS IN THE COLUMN. MCKINNEY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. AND IS DESIGNATED AS URBAN LIVING PLACE TIME. THE WHOLE DEFINITION OF LIVING PLACE TIME IS TO CREATE A PLETHORA OF THE FULL GAMUT OF RESIDENTIAL URBAN LIVING IS A PART OF WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY IN NICHES IN PODS, AND FINALLY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LAND USE DIAGRAM AND CLEARLY STATES AS STAFF INDICATED. AT THE REPORT, PROPOSED REZONING REQUESTS ALIGNS WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE WITH WHAT THE URBAN LIVING CHARACTERISTICS ARE. THE FURTHER DEFINITION RIGHT OUT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ILLUSTRATES THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING FITS AGAINST STAFFS CONCERN. BUT THEN THERE ARE SOME REALITIES THAT KIND OF THAT. I'M GOING TO KIND OF ILLUSTRATE HERE IN A MINUTE. AGAIN A PICTURE OF THE AH HIDDEN SPRINGS AND THEN HOW WE TRANSITION FROM APARTMENTS TO URBAN TOWN HOMES, AND THAT TOWN HOME IS ON BACK SIDE OF THAT. HIDDEN SPRINGS. IT WORKS TOGETHER. SO NOW HERE'S WHAT WHERE WE'RE AT HERE IS THE SITE. WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO CONTINUE THE BOULEVARD BECAUSE IT IS CRITICAL. HOWEVER ONCE WE COMMIT TO THAT BOULEVARD, AND WE'RE ALL IN ON THAT I DON'T HAVE A 21 ACRE SITE ANYMORE. WHAT I HAVE ARE TO 10 ACRE SITES. AND WHERE THE ONE WHERE THE THINKING WAS, AT ONE POINT IN THE LAST 20 YEARS WAS THAT 20 ACRES WAS ENOUGH FOR A BIG BOX TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT, EVEN IF IT'S A GROCERY STORE. GROCERY STORES, TYPICALLY AN 18 TO 22 ACRES, SHADOW RETAIL GAS STATION STARBUCKS. THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES 18 TO 20 ACRES, BUT WHEN YOU STICK THE BOULEVARD THROUGH THERE, YOU CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE . NOW YOU'VE GOT TO 10 ACRE SITES. SO WHAT WORKS ON 2 10 ACRE SITES. AT THAT POINT, STACY MADE SENSE. BECAUSE ON STACY, WE CAN GET THE DEPTHS TO GET PADS, RESTAURANT OFFICE, ETCETERA. BUT THEN YOU GET BEHIND THOSE PADS THAT FIRST ROW ON STACEY. AND THEN WHAT DO YOU HAVE? WHAT WE HAVE IS KIND OF A DEAD ZONE.
RETAIL ISN'T GOING TO GO BEHIND THAT FIRST ROW. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH IT? WE HAVE TOILED WITH THIS FOR YEARS. SO FINALLY , WE REALLY KIND OF STARTED PLAYING WITH SOME LAND PLANNING, AND WE TALKED TO HIS STAFF EARLY ON STAFF WAS GENERALLY IN AGREEMENT WITH SOME AMOUNT OF RESIDENTIAL AND AS WE STARTED PEELING THE ONION LAYERS WE GOT INTO THE NITTY GRITTY HERE IS KIND OF WHAT WE FOUND. IN THIS AREA. WE'RE PROPOSING TOWN HOMES AND DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET IS AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. AND THE MEDIAN OPENING SITS RIGHT THERE. IN THE OTHER AREA. WE'RE PROPOSING AN URBAN LIVING PRODUCT THAT WE'RE DOING IN CRAIG RANCH RIGHT NOW. WE'RE DOING THE FACT TO COMMUNITIES IN THERE AND IT IS RIGHT ACROSS THE TOWN HOMES, AND HERE IS THE MEDIAN OPENING THE CHALLENGE WITH, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER CLAUDIA WHAT YOU SUGGESTED ABOUT KIND OF DOING THIS IN SOME FASHION. IS THAT THIS DONUT HOLE HAS KIND OF BEEN EXCESS ABATED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET TO THE MEDIAN OPENINGS IN ORDER TO GET IN AND OUT. SOME KIND OF CONSTRAINT ON ALL SIDES . EVERY TIME I MAKE A DECISION, IT SOLVES ONE THING BUT KIND OF PINCHES ME SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO ULTIMATELY THIS IS WHY WE WENT IN THIS FASHION. YOU'VE GOT AN ADJACENCY HAVE SIMILAR USES TOWN HALL TOWN HOMES TO MULTI FAMILY. AND YOU'VE GOT AN ADJACENCY OF SIMILAR USES URBAN LIVING TO THE URBAN LIVING IN BARCELONA, AS WELL AS THE TOWN HALLS THAT ARE ACROSS THE STREET, ONE OF OUR
[01:40:04]
BUILDERS THAT WAS IN OUR BARCELONA COMMUNITY WAS DREES HOMES. LOVE DREAMS THAT WE WORK A LOT WITH THEM. IN THE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE DOING THIS FIRST URBAN LIVING PRODUCT WITH US IN, UH IN CRAIG RANGES, COLLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY AND ALMA. IT'S BEEN A EXPERIMENT AND WE ENDED UP DOING 64 LOTS OF URBAN LIVING SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES FOR SALE. 2 31 FT WIDE LOT. THAT MEANS THE HOME IS 25 FT WIDE. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE BROKEN THE THRESHOLD OF OVER $700,000 FOR THAT PRODUCT. THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING. WE ONLY HAVE 64. WE HAVE PRE SOLD 17.I'M SORRY. I KNOW YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PICTURE, BUT I JUST DROVE THROUGH CRAIG RANCH, HEATHER DAY AND I THINK THESE ARE DREES HOMES. IT WAS A SHOCKING PIECE OF PROPERTY. TO ME. IT WAS LIKE A THREE STORY. THAT WAS OVER THERE NEAR WHERE? CRAIG RANCH FITNESS CENTER WAS.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING HERE? OKAY CORRECT. IT'S A THREE STORY PRODUCT ELEVATOR SHAFT IN THE MIDDLE. VERY URBAN LOOKING IT'S AN EMPTY NESTER LOCK AND LEAVE, REALLY AN ELEVATOR IN THERE WILL BE IN THE SHAFT WILL BE THERE. THE ELEVATOR WILL BE EXTRA. SO IF YOU WANT TO BUY ONE REMEMBER THE ELEVATORS EXTRA THE CHEF COMES WITH IT. I JUST HEARD YOU SAY THAT I DIDN'T ELEVATED. SO ALL OF THESE ITEMS. THIS IS KIND OF REALLY HOW WE GOT HERE. I MEAN, IN A PERFECT WORLD. AS I TOLD MS ARNOLD WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS IF I HAD TO DO IT AGAIN.
THAT THE CAR WASH. IS THAT THE PERFECT LOCATION? MAYBE NOT. BUT YOU KNOW, WE MADE THAT DECISION THREE YEARS AGO, AND THEN WE KIND OF SAT HERE WITH NOTHING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO KIND OF ADVANCED THE BALL. ULTIMATELY THE CAR WASH IS A FANTASTIC DEVELOPMENT. IT'S A TUNNEL. THEY GO QUICK. THEY'RE NOT INTRUSIVE . YOU SEE HIM KIND OF AROUND EVERYWHERE ELSE WE MET WITH THEM . WE MET WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FOLKS ALL SEEM TO BE HATES. OKAY. IF YOU CAN GET IT, THAT'D BE FANTASTIC. IT'S ANOTHER AD. TO OUR HOUSING STOCK. SO IN THE END, YOU KNOW THAT'S THAT'S REALLY KIND OF HOW WE GET HERE. HERE IS MCKINNEY RANCH. ALL OF THE DIFFERENT DEALS WE'VE DONE OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS TO GET THESE THINGS ON THE GROUND FROM ALLEN AND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TO MULTI FAMILY COMMUNITIES TO EVENTUALLY, FRISCO HIGH SCHOOL ENDED UP GOING ON THE ORIGINAL MCKINNEY RANCH FACILITY. THE CITY'S CREPE MYRTLE PARK, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF ALL OF THIS IN VARIOUS WAYS EVENTUALLY, LET ME GIVE YOU KIND OF WHAT THAT TRANSLATES INTO DOLLARS. OVER THE ORIGINAL 550 ACRES OVER MCKINNEY RANCH AND HOW PIECES HAVE BEEN SOLD TO DAVID AND HE DEVELOPED PART OF IT, AND WE KEPT PART OF IT, ETCETERA, ETCETERA OVER $100 MILLION WORTH OF LAND SALES AND ALMOST A BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF ADDED TAX VALUE. TO THE TAX ROLLS. IT TAKES TIME 20 ACRES OR RATHER 20 YEARS 550 ACRES. BUT WE GOT THERE. WE'RE ALMOST AT THE VERY END. SO THIS IS KIND OF THE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE THE JIGSAW PUZZLE WORK. WITHOUT AN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND APOLOGIZE FOR TAKING SO MUCH TIME, MR MAYOR. MR SANCHEZ? I ASKED JENNIFER, THIS IS THERE ANY IMPEDIMENT TO A BUSINESS OPENING ON THIS PROPERTY NOW? IS THERE AN IMPEDIMENT TO A BUSINESS BUILDING AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THERE RIGHT NOW. THERE IS NOTHING STOPPING IT FROM FROM GOING THERE. SO IS IT SAFE TO SAY THERE IS A LACK OF APPETITE? APPETITE SIR. OKAY ANYBODY THAT HAS AN INTEREST TO GO INTO THE PROVERBIAL DONUT HOLE? OKAY. AND WE'VE TURNED.
WHAT DO YOU ENVISION AS FAR AS COMMERCIAL THAN BEING ALONG? UH IF IT'S A FAIR QUESTION, STACEY ROAD IT IS, IN FACT, MISS ARNOLD AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THIS AREA NOW THE LOW HANGING FRUIT OR YOUR TYPICAL PAD SITE DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT? UM GIVEN THE INTENSITY OF STACY, YOU WOULD WANT A MORE INTENSE COMMERCIAL USE. AH TO BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLE TRIPS IN A PERFECT WORLD, AND WE STARTED PLAYING WITH THIS, BUT THIS IS NOT PART OF TODAY'S ZONING RIGHT IN A PERFECT WORLD. IF YOU LOOK AT THE DENSITY OF THE WAY. ALL OF THIS HAS WORKED OUT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE KICKED AROUND , HAS BEEN TO BE ABLE TO GET TO MIXED USE BUILDINGS ONE ON THIS SIDE ONE ON THIS SIDE, AND THEN JUST MAYBE WHATEVER ELSE COMES OUT HERE, RESTAURANT, WHATEVER.
WHEN I TALK ABOUT A MIXED USE, BUILDING AND TALKING ABOUT THE REAL FIVE STORY YOU KNOW. ONE STORY OF RETAIL. ONE STORY OF OFFICE. THREE STORY OF FOUR SALE CONDOMINIUMS, RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUMS. WOW THE ARCHITECTURE THE MARKET. IT'S READY FOR IT. DON'T KNOW COUNCIL OF THE CITY ARE READY FOR IT, BUT THAT'S A FUTURE DISCUSSION. THAT'S NOT TODAY. IT IS COMMERCIAL TODAY. BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE VALUATIONS AND WHERE WE'RE AT, AT THE PRICE OF WHERE
[01:45:05]
THE DIRT IS TODAY, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THE MARKET IS, BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION.CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE TOWN HOMES? ARE THOSE GOING TO BE INDIVIDUALLY DEEDED? ARE THEY GOING TO BE LEASED FOR RENT PROPERTIES PROPERTIES? OKAY. THIS WILL LOOK AT SOME OF THE ARCHITECTURE THAT WE'VE BEEN PLAYING WITH HAS BEEN KIND OF LIKE THIS IN THE AND YOU SEE THE PRODUCT HERE AND HERE, AND THOSE ARE ACTUALLY THE PICTURES ARE ACTUALLY PRODUCTS. OF OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER HAS DONE IN CANADA IN TORONTO. THIS IS A CANADIAN DEVELOPER THAT IS COMING INTO TOWN TO DO THIS PROJECT AND THEY DO DENSITY THEY KNOW DENSITY. THE CHALLENGE WITH THIS PICTURE, WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES IS THAT THE REALITY IS WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT BUILDING CODE ISSUES HAD TO GET THIS TO WORK, SO WE'RE NOT SURE YET, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY BE A MIXTURE OF TWO AND THREE STORIES. BUT IT WILL BE A FORCED SALE PRODUCT. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, I'LL JUST WAY AND QUICKLY ONE. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THE BOULEVARD IS BEING MAINTAINED.
THAT'S HUGE. AND I DO ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECOGNIZE THAT WHAT THAT DOES IS IT IS TOO. 10 ACRE SITES, AND I DO UNDERSTAND FROM DEVELOPMENT SIDE. THERE WERE TO BE COMMERCIAL, LONG RIDGE IN MCKINNEY. THERE'S TWO ISSUES I HAVE, I THINK. WHAT WILL GO THERE IS MM. WHAT YOU SEE EVERYWHERE, YOU KNOW THE PADDED OUT AND IT'S GOING TO BE SALONS AND NAIL SHOPS AND DONUT SHOPS AND ALL THAT. I THINK THE LAUREN VALUE THAT WE GET WITH THE FOR SALE TOWN HOME PRODUCT THAT DREES IS DOING AND I'VE GONE AND ACTUALLY WALKED THAT. THAT VERY UNIT MYSELF BECAUSE I HAD THE PROBABLY THE SAME. I'M A BUILDER, AND I'VE BUILT STUFF, BUT I STILL SEEN IT BY ITSELF BEFORE THE REST ARE THERE. I WAS LIKE, WHAT? WHAT IS THIS STOPPED WENT IN. UM I SHOULDN'T SAY WINNING, SO I DIDN'T HAVE PERMISSION. BUT I AM I LOOKED AT HIM AND UNDERSTAND THE PRODUCT EVEN HAVE DROPPED GARAGES AND SOMETHING. YEAH, IT'S JUST YEAH , THERE'S IT'S THE HIGH END.
ACTUALLY, ACTUALLY, I AM VERY, VERY IT'S GOING TO ATTRACT QUITE QUITE A BUYER. I THINK I'M ALSO DID BY THE WAY, UM, SPEND A COUPLE HOURS WITH THE CANADIAN DEVELOPER WHEN I HEARD THEY WERE LOOKING AT THAT PROPERTY AND LOOKED AT THE PRODUCT THEY'VE BEEN BUILDING AND NOT IN PERSON TO GO TO CANADA WENT TO THEIR SITE. UM TEND TO BE A VERY IMPRESSIVE COMPANY. HAPPENED BY THE WAY I LIKE VERY MUCH. THAT RENDERING DOWN TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT. WE HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THE CANADIAN ARCHITECT IN THE US ARCHITECT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MELD UM, SO ANYWAY, I DO RECOGNIZE THE CHALLENGES. UH, WITH THAT. I THINK THE END OF THE DAY THE OUTLAW AND VALUE OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN THEN, THEN. ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT AND I, THIS IS IN COUNCILMAN ROGERS DISTRICT. I SPOKE TO HIM. I DID WANT TO GET HIS FEEDBACK AND WAS GOING TO PRESENT THAT WHATEVER IT WAS UM AND HE BASICALLY, THE REASONS THAT WE'RE JUST STATED IS SUPPORTS THIS PROJECT AS WELL, ALTHOUGH THAT MEANS NOTHING AND SENSE OF A VOTE IS NOT HERE. BUT I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO GET HIS INPUT AS IT IS DISTRICT AND HE'S BEEN HIGHLY CRITICAL GENERALLY OF RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL, BUT. OLD ME. HE WANTED MULTI FAMILY THERE. YEAH IT'S ON THE RECORD, SIR. 60 YEARS TO DO IT, YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO LOOK AT THESE THINGS INDIVIDUALLY AND YOU KNOW FOR ME ANYWAY, TURN A DEAF EAR TO THE POLITICS AND THE SOUND AND THE NOISE AND MAKE DECISIONS. WHAT IS THE BEST USE OF THIS? PLAN WHAT IS THE INTENT BEHIND CRAIG RANCH? WHAT IS WHAT IS URBAN? WHAT IS URBAN LIVING? WHAT IS THAT MEAN? WHERE ARE WE? WHERE WE COMPARED TO WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED? ACTUALLY, QUITE PROBABLY 20. LESS THAN WAS ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED IN THE REGION, SO I DON'T FOR ME. I DON'T GET ALL HUNG UP IN THE YOU KNOW, MULTI FAMILY. I'M NOT THE FAMILY. DOES IT MAKE SENSE AS DYNAMIC SENSE? I LOVE THE COMBINATION OF THE FORESAIL PRODUCT. UM AND I HAPPEN TO LIKE THIS DEVELOPER A LOT, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HIM BEING IN THE COMMUNITY, THEN BEING IN THE COMMUNITY. IF IT PASSES. THANK YOU, SIR. I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU, MAYOR. UM A LOT OF THOSE ISSUES AND I SEE THIS AS MORE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL. UM EVEN THOUGH IT'S ON A BIG ROAD, MOST OF THE COMMERCIAL OUT THERE IS GRAVITATING TOWARD CRAIG RANCH AND HOW I WON 21. YOU GOT THE HUB. YOU'VE GOT THE FARM. ALL YOUR BIG RESTAURANTS IN THAT TOP RETAIL IS GOING TO END UP UM, CLOSE TO THAT AREA. THIS IS MORE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD YOU'RE GOING
[01:50:07]
TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE A STRIP CENTER PAD SIDES, THAT SORT OF THING, WHICH I THINK YOU KNOW.SIX ACRES WOULD ACCOMMODATE THAT. YES, SIR. SO I WOULD TEND TO BE IN FAVOR OF IT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC. IT SAYS A PUBLIC HEARING. I DON'T SHOW ANYONE. AND I'VE ONLY SEEN ONE LETTER AND HAS BEEN OF SUPPORT AND NOT HAVE SAW NOTHING ELSE IN THE PACKAGE. MR BARRON MOVED THAT WE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND DISTRIBUTE. I DO WANT TO MAKE A REMARK THAT I WAS REALLY CONFLICTED COMING INTO THIS ON THIS ONE. AND, UM, MR SANCHEZ APPRECIATE WHAT YOU SAID. MR AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE SAID HERE. THE THING THREW ME OVER SOMETHING HASN'T EVEN BEEN MENTIONED. AND FOR 12 YEARS I WORKED OUT OF CORRECT BRANCH FITNESS AND I WOULD TAKE MCKINNEY RANCH PARKWAY AND I WOULD MAKE HER RIGHT ON STACY THERE AND YOU KNOW IN IN GO OVER TO CRAIG RANCH, AND IT REALLY BOTHERED ME. AND STILL DOES. I JUST DON'T SEE IT EVERY DAY THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WALKING HOME FROM THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL OVER THERE AND UM THE IDEA OF THEM WALKING BY TWO BACK TO THOSE APARTMENTS AND THE IDEA OF THEM WALKING BY COMMERCIAL BOTHERS ME A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THAT IS MORE TRAFFIC AND, UM SO AGAIN. THIS IS A TOUGH DECISION FOR ME, BUT I'M SUPPORTIVE. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. NON ENTERTAINER MOTION. LIKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVED THIS ITEM, I'LL SECOND PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES. MR SANCHEZ. I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE HISTORY LESSON AND I HAVE BEEN HERE BACK IN THE NINETIES AND WATCHED ALL THAT HAPPEN. BUT THAT WAS ACTUALLY MEAN THAT SINCERELY. IT WAS LESSON. TO
[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “PD” - Planned Development District to “PD” - Planned Development District, Generally to Modify the Development Standards and to Allow for a Telecommunications Tower, Located 3109 South Custer Road, and Accompanying Ordinance]
EXCUSE ME. 2101883 CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARINGS CONCERN ACT AND REQUESTED RESULTS. SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PD PLAN DISTRICT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT GENERAL MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT CENTERS TO ALLOW A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER LOCATED AT 31 9 SOUTH CUSTER ROAD AND COMPETENT ORDINANCE. AND NO, THIS IS NOT DEJA VU. THIS IS A SEPARATE TOWER. DIFFERENT TOWER.THAT IS CORRECT. AS YOU READ. THIS IS REQUEST OF REASON AND SUBJECT PROPERTY. IT IS LOCATED AT 31. OH NINE CUSTER ROAD, WHICH IS JUST SOUTH OF EL DORADO AND CUSTER, THE INTERSECTION OF COLORADO CUSTER. UM THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PD TWO PD IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER AS PROPOSED TO ALLOW HERE. THE PROPERTY IS AN EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS THAT'S GOT SOME OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS ALREADY ON SITE PER THE REQUEST, THE APPLICANT WOULD PROPOSED TO AH BE PERMITTED TO CONSTRUCT A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER ON THE LOCATION SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN. THE TOWER WOULD BE OF A STEALTH MONOPOLY DESIGN, MEANING IT WOULD BE AT THE MINIMUM. THE FLAG LIST FLAGPOLE WITH ALL MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT HIDDEN. AND THE TOTAL HEIGHT OF THAT TOWER WOULD BE 100 FT. TYPICALLY UH, THE REQUIREMENT FOR A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER ON A PROPERTY WOULD REQUIRE IT TO BE THREE TIMES THE DISTANCE. THREE TIMES THE HEIGHT DISTANCE AWAY FROM PROPERTY LINES. SO THE 100 FT TOWER BE REQUIRED TO BE 300 FT, AWAY FROM ALL PROPERTY LINES, AS WELL AS SOME DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS FROM RESIDENTIAL THERE IS NO RESIDENTIAL NEARBY, SO THOSE REQUIREMENTS WOULD NOT REALLY BE APPLICABLE. HOWEVER GIVEN THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF THIS PARTICULAR TRACKED, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR A TOWER OF THIS SIZE. TO MEET THAT 300 FT SETBACK ON ALL SIDES. MOST NOTABLY WITH THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST. IN THAT UP. SORRY. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THAT STEALTH DESIGN PREVIOUSLY THEY WERE CONSIDERING A BELL TOWER DESIGN. THIS IS IN THE STONEBRIDGE RANCH. UM MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY AND IS SUBJECT TO THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS OF THAT COMMUNITY. THEY HAD PREVIOUS DESIGNS APPROVED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD OF STONEBRIDGE RANCH. THEY ARE NOW WORKING WITH THEM ON PERHAPS THE MODIFIED DESIGNS. SO WHAT IS SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN WAS WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY STONE BIRD RANCH ABOUT THE AFRICAN IS PROPOSING TO DO SOMETHING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. BECAUSE OF THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING TO REMOVE THE ELEVATIONS FROM THE ZONING REQUEST AND SIMPLY COMMIT TO THE CITY THAT THE ELEVATION WILL BE OF THAT STEALTH DESIGN, SUBJECT TO ULTIMATE REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE STONEBRIDGE RANCH ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE. SO BEFORE YOU TONIGHT
[01:55:03]
WHAT YOU WOULD BE CONSIDERING IS THE CELL TOWER BEING OF A STEALTH DESIGN THAT DESIGN BEING RELATIVELY UNKNOWN AT THE MOMENT, BUT GENERALLY I THINK IT WOULD BE CONFORMING TO WHAT'S SHOWN HERE BUT WITH SOME MINOR MODIFICATIONS, SO STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUBSTANTIAL INFORMATION FROM THE APPLICANT TO SHOW THEIR DUE DILIGENCE FOR ALTERNATIVE SITES, THE ABILITY OR THE INABILITY FOR EXISTING CELL TOWERS AND WATER TOWERS TO SUPPORT THE NEED AND THE PROPAGATION MAPS TO SUPPORT THE GAP IN COVERAGE THAT THEY'RE HAVING. AND THE APPLICANTS HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS . STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL. AND JENNIFER , IF WE ARE TO APPROVE THIS, THAT AT IN MY OPINION TO MY KNOWLEDGE IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. UM, REFLECTS ON. BUT THEIR ABILITY TO CIRCUMVENT THE STONEBRIDGE REQUIREMENT THAT THAT WILL BE A STANDALONE, VERY GOOD QUESTION. AND THAT IS CORRECT. SO WE HAVE THE CITY REQUIREMENT HERE FOR THE ZONING , THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS OF STONEBRIDGE RANCH OR ANY H O A WOULD ALWAYS GOVERN AS WELL. SO UM, THEY WOULD STILL BE SUBJECT TO THOSE AFRICAN HERE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE ATOM? THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS VINCE HE BRING WITH VINCENT GERARD, REPRESENTING HORIZON AND ALSO DELAINE OWNER YOU RECALL. WE TABLED THIS LAST MONTH TO TRY TO GET A LITTLE REORGANIZED WITH THE DESIGN. WE DO HAVE A DATE FOR JUNE 8TH ON THE FINAL BOARD MEETING TO FINALIZE THE DESIGN, SO IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO IT. MISS ARNOLD WAS TALKING ABOUT UM I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS REAL QUICKLY. UH IT'S IN A HARD BORDER COMMERCIAL CORNER. CUSTER AND EL DORADOS WAY BACK IS FOR TOO FAR BACK. IT'S ACTUALLY IN THE FLOODPLAIN. SO AFTER THIS IF WE DO GET A ZONING APPROVED, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ALSO GET A FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT PERMIT. BUT IT WAS THE ONLY SITE THAT WE COULD FIND IN THIS AREA. THERE'S THE SEARCH RING. YOU'RE WELL FAMILIAR WITH WHERE OUR LOCATIONS ARE ACTUALLY THE ONE HAVEN WOULD THAT MR GRIFFIN DID IS UP THERE ON THE HORN STAR. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE KIND OF SURROUNDING PUTTING PUTTING A SURGERY IN THE CENTER WILL GIVE BETTER COVERAGE AND BETTER CAPACITY. WE'RE ON LOTS OF WATER TOWERS LIKE ONE TO THE RIGHT. UM SO THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT WE CAN FIND? UM, THE CLOSER LOOK AT THE RING.LOCATION. WE'RE A LITTLE BIT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE RIGHT BOTTOM, RIGHT? UM ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE SITE PLAN WHERE WE ARE LOCATED WAY BEHIND THE EXISTING RETAIL, SO WE'RE SET BACK WAY BACK IN AWAY FROM THE MAIN QUARTER, OR IS IT THERE WAS ANOTHER APP. I THINK AN ITEM THAT WE FILED AS A BACKUP INFORMATION WAS A SEARCH CANDIDATES STUDY THAT WENT INTO BETTER DETAIL THAN THIS LITTLE PICTURE, BUT HDB BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET. HAVE DONE THIS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. HDB DOESN'T DO WIRELESS DEALS THERE. AND THAT MEANS NEVER, BUT THE OTHER PROPERTIES WERE NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN ALL THESE ACROSS THE STREET. I THINK IT'S THE CITY LIMITS OF FRISCO. UM PROPAGATION MAP BEFORE IN VEHICLE COVERAGE. AFTER. AND AGAIN, THERE'S A LOT OF ROOFTOPS OUT THERE THAT JUST CAN'T REALLY SEE ON THIS SLIDE. BUT WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE MUCH BETTER COVERAGE THAN BEFORE. JUST A BRIEF SUMMARY OF WHAT WE HAVE FROM THE STANDARD CODE REQUIREMENTS. WE MEET ALL OF THEM, EXCEPT THAT THAT 300 FT FROM PROPERTY LINES BECAUSE WE'RE ON THIS FLAG LOT. THAT'S ALL OF THE COMMERCIAL CENTER SUCH AS TECHNICALLY, IT'S ALL ONE COMMERCIAL, BUT FLAGGED UP UM THE. WHERE WE ALL KNOW THE REASON WE'RE BUILDING MORE TOWERS IS BECAUSE OF THE PHONES . I BLAME APPLE. WE'RE RUNNING SO MANY APPS AND THOSE THINGS AND YOU ALL MENTIONED SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT. IN THE LAST HEARING ABOUT WHAT PANDEMIC DID TO OUR SYSTEM. IT REALLY STRAINED IT. MAYOR YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LEGISLATION.
WILL SENATOR HANCOCK WROTE A LETTER DURING THE PANDEMIC THING? HOW IMPORTANT THESE ARE AROUND SCHOOLS AND THOSE THINGS . TELEHEALTH IS REALLY GETTING BIG, TOO. BUT THIS JUST REMINDS ME OF ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE DRIVING THE WIRELESS COMMUNITY IN THE NEED FOR THE PHONES, MR PHILLIPS SAID. GO AHEAD AND TURN YOUR PHONE OFF. YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE, BUT, UM, I'M DONE. SORRY. I'M RAMBLING. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? JUST LET ME KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH STONEBRIDGE RANCH ON THE EIGHTH FOR FINAL DESIGN. IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE THINK IS ON VIRGINIA PARKWAY ALREADY, SO HOPEFULLY, WE'LL GET IT ALL DONE. HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO US TABLING THIS UNTIL JUNE NIGHT SO WE CAN SEE WHAT IT IS
[02:00:07]
THAT YOU ULTIMATELY PROPOSING, AND GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONVINCE THE REST OF MCKINNEY TO GET RID OF THEIR CELL PHONES. I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY. YEAH WE WE'VE BEEN GOING ON THIS SITE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS. I DON'T HAVE AN OBJECTION WAITING FOR ONE MORE MONTH, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE USE AND THE STEALTH AND THE SIZE. AND THEY'RE SPECIFICALLY GOING TO GIVE US THE DESIGN. SO W. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANKS, SIR , SAYS THE PUBLIC HEARING. I DO NOT SHARE THAT ANYONE HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE ATOM? SEEING NONE. IN A MOTION. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOST THAT WE TABLE THE ITEM UNTIL OUR MID JUNE MEETING SO THE CLOSER PUBLIC HEARINGS AND THEN CLOSE THE HEARING OR DO WE WANT TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING? OUR SECOND WE CLOSING OR CONTINUING THE PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUING. IT MATTERS NOT THERE'S ENOUGH TIME TO RE NOTICE. IF YOU CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, WE WILL NEED TO DO A NEW NOTICE. IF YOU CONTINUE IT, WE WON'T NEED TO DO THE RE NOTICE TO FORCE THEM TO READ NOTICE. SO LET'S CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING. THE ON CHILDREN, 21. JUNE 21 I SECOND THAT ALRIGHT. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES.

HEARING, 220002 M THREE CONDUCTED PUBLIC UNITY, CONSIDER AND ACT ON REQUEST BY THE CITY.MCCAIN TO AMEND CHAPTER 1 46 RESULTING REGULATIONS. APPENDIX G. FROM MCKINNEY TOWN CENTER ZONING DISTRICT OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR.
THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU WILL SEE ME TONIGHT, AND I'M HOPEFUL. THIS IS AN EASY ONE. WHAT YOU READ IS A REQUEST ON BEHALF OF THE CITY TO AMEND THE MTC FORM BASED ZONING CODE OF THE CITY. I DON'T HAVE ANY PRESENTATION FOR THIS CURRENTLY WITHIN THE MTC, THERE ARE SERIES OF DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT ARE ABLE TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. SO ANY DEVELOPMENT STANDARD INCLUDED IN THAT MTC CAN BE CONSIDERED BY PLANNING AND ZONING. THIS WOULD INCLUDE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT RELATE TO BUILDING HEIGHTS, GIVEN SOME OF THE REDEVELOPMENT THAT WE ARE SEEING IN DOWNTOWN AND THE GROWTH THAT'S AND REINVESTMENT THAT IS ON THE UPTICK. WE DID WANT TO PROPOSE THAT THAT DESIGN EXCEPTION FOR BUILDING HEIGHTS BE MOVED OVER TO THE CITY COUNCIL. WE DID FEEL THAT WITH BUILDING HEIGHTS BEING AS IMPACTFUL AS THEY ARE ON THE LANDSCAPE OF AN AREA THAT MAY BE SOMETHING MORE APPROPRIATE FOR CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER SO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT WOULD JUST SHIFT THAT CONSIDERATION AUTHORITY FROM PLANNING AND ZONING TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR DESIGN EXCEPTION REQUESTS THAT INCLUDE BUILDING HEIGHT. ONLY ALL OF THEIR DESIGN EXCEPTION. REQUEST WOULD STAY WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. SO STAFFS, OBVIOUSLY RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CONSIDERED IT AT THEIR LAST MEETING AND HAVE ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? ENTERTAIN A MOTION. IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
I DO NOT SHOW ANYONE HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AS ANYONE. HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE ITEM.

THIS ITEM WAS PRESENTED TO YOU BEFORE WITH THE NOMINATION THAT YOU MADE AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING, HOWEVER, THAT NOMINEE INDICATED THAT HE WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO SERVE IF APPOINTED. BY THE BOARD, SO IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO MAKE ANOTHER NOMINATION BELIEVE THERE IS A NOMINATION, MAYBE MORE THAN ONE. BUT COUNCILWOMAN FELT THIS AND I LOVED YOUR NOMINATION FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, BUT YOU WANT TO BUT THAT FOURTH TO PUT FORTH DEIDRE WATERED, WHO IS BEEN IN MCKINNEY FOR QUITE A WHILE. SHE IS A REALTOR HERE IN THE AREA ALSO NOW HAS HER OWN BROKERAGE FIRM, BUT VERY SMART AS A WHIP KIND OF LADY, WHO I THINK WOULD OFFER A LOT TO THE BOARD. UM MAINLY NOT JUST HER

YES I WILL NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF A ONE END ONLY WILL BE ONLY WOMAN NOMINATED FOR THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT. SO I AM IN SUPPORT OF THAT. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO PUT A NAME FOURTH AND THAT'S GREAT SOLUTION. WHAT'S THAT? THAT'S A GREAT SOLUTION. FORGIVE ME, MR MAYOR. JUST LOVE TO SEE SOMEBODY PUT FORTH THE NAME OF A MAN. JUST TAKE SOME HEAT OFF ME AND SOME OTHER THINGS WANTS TO DO THAT. OKAY? AND THAT BEING THE ONLY NAME WAS THAT EMOTION. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE RECOMMEND DEIDRE WATER FOR THE COLLINS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECOND WAS CAST YOUR VOTES. ALRIGHT MOTION PASSES. CITIZEN COMMENTS ON MATTERS NOT ON THE[CITIZEN COMMENTS ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA]
AGENDA. I DO HAVE DANIEL PORZIO HAS SIGNED UP. WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY SPEAKER TONIGHT, SIR.I'M GONNA I'M GONNA GIVE YOU 17 SECONDS 17 SECONDS, MR MAYOR. THREE MINUTES, SIR. OR 05500.
MCKINNEY PLACE DRIVE. THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY QUICK. I HAD MY INBOX. AFTER MY. PREVIOUS THREE MINUTES OR AND OR ONE MINUTE. BLOW UP. SAYING WELL, YOU'RE JUST NOT. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JUST NOT WOKE ENOUGH. OR YOU'RE NOT KIND ENOUGH. UM. AND AT OUR LAST MEETING. I REALIZED THERE WAS YOU KNOW, NOT CONTENTIOUS, BUT PEOPLE REMARKED. WELL, WHAT DID YOU FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU WERE GETTING WHEN YOU WERE GETTING ADMONISHED BY THE MAYOR SAID. HE'S THE MAYOR. WHETHER WE TALKED FOR TWO MINUTES, FIVE MINUTES OR SEVEN MINUTES, HE HAS THE RIGHT TO REACT TO WHAT I SAY. SO IN ORDER TO CUT SOME OF THAT OFF. YEARS AND I'M GOING TO DO. THIS IS ALL QUESTIONS. IT'S NOTHING BUT QUESTIONS, NO COMMENTARY, NOTHING. IN FACT, I'M EVEN GOING TO SHORTEN IT.
AND THIS IS ALL REGARDING SCHOOL BOARD BEING WOKE AND ALL THE ALL THE STUFF THAT SURROUNDS THINGS BEING WOKE. WOKE WOOK BEING WORK. OKAY ARE THE ACTIONS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT HAVE BEEN TAKING PLACE? BY THE MSD BOARD OF TRUSTEES, BASED LARGELY ON FEAR BASED CONTROL.
DO YOU BELIEVE? THAT SCHOOL BOARDS KNOW WHAT IS BEST. FOR OUR CHILDREN WITHOUT REGARD. TO PARENTAL PARTICIPATION. OR THE PARENTS WHO ARE STANDING UP ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, A POLITICAL FRINGE GROUP. DO YOU SUPPORT THE FACT THAT PARENTS HAVE THE RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING TAUGHT AND HOW FUNDS ARE STEWARDESS? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SEEKING GREATER TRANSPARENCY AND INTEGRITY AND ALL ASPECTS OF EDUCATION IS NOT RELEVANT? TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR CHILDREN. DO YOU SUPPORT THE CANCEL AND INTIMIDATION TACTICS THAT SEEK TO CONTRIBUTE TO DIVISION TO SUSTAIN THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HOLD ON THEIR DICTATORIAL POWER.
AND THIS HAS REALLY NOTHING TO DO WITH CHAD. THIS IS IN GENERAL. DO YOU IN FACT SUPPORT THE POSITION THAT ANY CURRICULUM MATERIALS POLICIES OR PROCEDURES THAT NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR CHILDREN SHOULD BE CHANGED OR ELIMINATED. NOW, THE LAST TIME I SPOKE HERE TWO OF YOU ON THE COUNCIL SUPPORTED THE MAYOR AND HIS POSITION TO SUPPORT THE BOARD. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THEM ALL TONIGHT. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, THOUGH. THANK YOU. COULD I HAVE YOUR LIST? CAN I HAVE THAT LIST OR RESERVE OTHER OTHER STUFF? OKAY, NOW I GET IT. I GET IT. RIGHT? OKAY? UM
[COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS]
[02:10:07]
COMMENTS, THEN WE'RE NOW TO COUNSEL PLANETS. REALLY WANT TO START MR MAYOR HAPPY TOO. AH THERE'S YOUNG MAN HERE IN MCKINNEY. HIS NAME IS DEVON DRENNEN. HE IS A JUNIOR AT MCKINNEY BOYD HIGH SCHOOL. HE HAS BEEN SELECTED AS 101 OF THE 109 YEARS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO PLAY IN THE NATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA. HE WILL BE GOING DOING A COUNTER AT CARNEGIE HALL THIS SUMMER, AS WELL AS THE TOUR OF EUROPE. AMSTERDAM BERLIN AND SWITZERLAND. AH AND. HE'LL BE REPRESENTING THE CITY OF MCKINNEY ACROSS THE WORLD, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE KIDS WHO IS A PRODUCT OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS, THE SCHOOL BOARD. EITHER MCKINNEY SCHOOL SYSTEM. HE'S OUT THERE SHINING THE LIGHT ON MCKINNEY ACROSS SUPPLYING IT AS A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF THIS YOUNG MAN. I THINK THE ENTIRE CITY MCKINNEY DESERVES TO BE EXTREMELY PROUD. OF THIS YOUNG MAN MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN REPRESENTING MCKINNEY OUT THERE NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT THE ENTIRE PLANET TRULY PROUD FOR HIM AND HIS PARENTS AND OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT PRODUCED THIS YOUNG MAN. AND I'M SORRY THAT COUNCILMAN ROGERS IS NOT HERE. BUT THERE IT IS, FOR 28 YEARS IN A ROW NOW, UH, YES. ONCE AGAIN.I WAS NAMED EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR AT WOW PERSON. AND I'M PROUD TO MAINTAIN MY STATUS AS THE SELECTION COMMITTEE FOR EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR AT PHILIPS AND EPPERSON. THANK YOU. HMM. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FOLLOW THAT, OKAY? UM I WAS AT THE LAST SCHOOL BOARD MEETING AND I HAVE TO SAY, UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS ONE OF THE SADDEST DAYS THAT I'VE EVER SEEN FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. UM THERE WERE PEOPLE IN GREEN SHIRTS THERE WHO WERE IN SUPPORT OF REMOVAL OF ABOUT 286 BOOKS THAT ARE ON THE LIST. THERE WERE PEOPLE IN BLUE SHIRTS THERE THAT WERE IN SUPPORT OF, UM YOU KNOW, MAINTAINING, UH, MAINTAINING FREEDOM OF THE CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO CHECK OUT CERTAIN BOOKS FROM OUR LIBRARIES. WHAT I HEARD ON ONE SIDE IS THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT VERY EXPLICIT MATERIALS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN BLUE SHIRTS DID NOT DISAGREE WITH. HE DID NOT DISAGREE WITH, BUT I THINK WHAT I HEARD WHAT I SAW. THERE WAS JUST A LACK OF COMMUNICATION. A LACK OF WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN AND I HOPE THAT MOVING FORWARD WE WILL DO BETTER AS A CITY ABSOLUTELY STAND BY OUR SCHOOL BOARD. I WAS THERE TO LISTEN TO THEIR FEEDBACK AND THEIR FEEDBACK IS WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE MM. DIFFERENT POLICIES THAT NEED TO BE PUT INTO PLACE TO MAKE IT EASIER TO CHALLENGE A BOOK THAT THEY FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A CERTAIN LEVEL ON THE SCHOOL BOARD. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THAT. IT NEEDS TO BE A FAIR PROCESS. IT NEEDS TO BE INEFFICIENT PROCESS . IT NEEDS TO BE SIMPLIFIED FOR OUR PARENTS. UM, I DO HOPE, THOUGH. THAT THERE IS AN ABILITY FOR ANY BOOK THAT IS CHALLENGED FOR IT TO BE COUNTER CHALLENGED AS WELL. SO WE'LL BE SENDING SOME FEEDBACK TO THE SCHOOL BOARD. UM HERE'S MY CONCERN. I LOOKED AT THAT LIST OF 286 BOOKS AND I'VE GOT SOME CONCERNS TO. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT A FEW BOOKS. THERE IS A BOOK BY RUBY BRIDGES NOT POSTED THIS ONLINE, BUT THERE IS A BOOK BY RUBY BRIDGES THAT'S BEING CALLED TO BE REMOVED. FOR CRT PURPOSES. UM RUBY BRIDGES WAS CRITICAL RACE THEORY WOULD BE BRIDGES WAS BORN IN NEW ORLEANS. SHE WAS, UM, THE FIRST TO INTEGRATE SCHOOLS THERE . SHE IS ONE YEAR OLDER THAN MY MOTHER, WHO ALSO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN NEW ORLEANS. AND I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT BOOKS LIKE THOSE WHERE SHE IS GIVING HER SIDE OF A VERY TOUGH HISTORY IN OUR COUNTRY, AND YOU CALL THAT C R T AND NO ONE ELSE CAN CHALLENGE IT. THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM FOR ME. SO I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT EACH BOOK INDIVIDUALLY AND SAY, IS THIS APPROPRIATE FOR OUR SCHOOLS? I ABSOLUTELY THINK THAT OUR SCHOOL BOARD IS ABLE TO HANDLE THESE CHALLENGES. I SUPPORT THEM. 100% I KNOW THEY WILL GET FEEDBACK FROM OUR LIBRARIANS. UM BUT I 100% STAND IN SUPPORT OF THEM. I JUST HOPE THAT THE NEXT SCHOOL BOARD DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT DID THIS MONTH. HOPE THAT IT LOOKS A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT. I HOPE PEOPLE CAN REALLY KIND OF SETTLE IN, BE MORE OPEN MINDED AND LISTEN BEFORE WE JUST REACT AND THANK YOU, MAYOR FOR YOUR COMMENTS. THANK YOU. JUSTIN I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW ORGANIZATIONS THAT I INTERACTED WITH. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I'VE GOT A FRIEND WHO IS WORKING ON THE HOUSE AND THE HIDEOUT FOR HUMANITY'S CON GROSS COMMUNITY, SO I WENT OUT AND VOLUNTEERED FOR THEM. UH LAST SATURDAY, I GUESS IT WAS AND THERE WAS A REALLY FUN DAY OUT
[02:15:06]
THERE. UM FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T IS NOT USED TO FRAMING WALLS. IT WAS AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE, BUT CELESTE AND HER TEAM SHE HAD A GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS OUT THERE THAT ARE OUT THERE REGULARLY AND THEY WERE KIND OF HER DREAM TEAM, BUT THEY WERE DOING GREAT WORK OUT THERE, AND IT WAS FUN TO SEE AND BE A PART OF, UM, A U I L HAD AN EVENT THAT I TOOK SOME YOUNG MEN TOO. WHERE THEY BROUGHT IN RONALD JONES, WHO IS A SUPER BOWL CHAMPION, AND JACKSON TURNER, WHO IS A YOUNG MAN WITH A NONPROFIT THAT IS DOING GREAT THINGS AND THESE YOUNG MEN GOT TO LISTEN TO THESE TWO. AH TO INDIVIDUALS AND IT WAS JUST A REALLY GOOD THING AND A Y L IS DOING GOOD THINGS FOR OUR YOUTH. UM I WENT TO OUR CHESTNUT SQUARE FARM FRESH FOOD WALK. AND GOT TO EAT A BUNCH OF FOOD FROM VENDORS WHO ARE TYPICALLY AT OUR FARMER'S MARKET. ANOTHER EVENTS AND, UM I THINK I. A LOT OF FOOD , AND IT WAS A GREAT EVENT AND CHESTNUT SQUARE IS DOING A GREAT JOB AND ALL THOSE VENDORS OR. DO A WONDERFUL JOB OF SHOWCASING OUR CITY FOR ALL THOSE WHO COME UM. ON FRIDAY NIGHT I WENT TO THE WADI BORA MARKET, WHICH WAS A MARKET THEY DID TOWARDS THE END OF RAMADAN TO PROMOTE WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS AND GOT TO WALK AROUND AND BUY SOME DIFFERENT ITEMS FROM A LOT OF VENDORS IN THEIR NEW FACILITY, WHICH I THINK A LOT OF US HAVE HAD GONE TO PARTICIPATE IN A MEAL THERE. DURING RAMADAN, BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE UTILIZING THAT FACILITY FOR GOD, AND IT WAS FUN EVENT TO BE A PART OF AND THEN ON SATURDAY. I THINK WE MENTIONED EARLIER. THE OR SHAUNA, THE PRESENTATION THAT HIGHLIGHTED. THE HINDU FAITH WAS EXTREMELY EDUCATIONAL AND A GREAT PART OF OUR LIBRARY SYSTEM. IN TERMS OF THE OFFERING THAT WE'RE PROVIDING AND WOW, WHERE WE GET TO PARTICIPATE IN AS THE CITY AND SO JUST JUST A BUNCH OF GREAT EVENTS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT. THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. SHRINK IT. I JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT A LITTLE BIT OVER A WEEK. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE BYRON NELSON CLASSIC IN MCKINNEY. AND I CAN'T TELL YOU WE COUNT THE DAYS FROM THE LAST ONE TO THE NEXT ONE. BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A GREAT EVENT RAISES A LOT OF MONEY. AND NOT ONLY ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT BEING HERE BUT HAVING ASSOCIATION WITH THE SALESMANSHIP CLUB OUT OF DOUBT. IT'S A WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION. AND WHAT THEY DO FOR KIDS IS PHENOMENAL. AND. IF YOU HAVEN'T YET, WE WE'VE HAD THE ABILITY TO GO LOOK AT THE SCHOOL AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND SEE THE CUTTING EDGE TECHNIQUES THAT THEY USE AND TEACHING THESE KIDS. AND THEY HAVE SAVED A LOT OF KIDS, UH OFF THE STREET AND GOTTEN THEM INTO COLLEGES AND JUST DONE WONDERFUL THINGS FOR THE COMMUNITY, SO WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE HIM UP HERE, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE THEM UP HERE FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. SO I SOMETHING THAT REALLY TOUCHED MY HEART AND UNEXPECTED WAY. LAST FRIDAY NIGHT, I WAS WITH COUNCILMAN BELLA AT THE WD BORA MASK AND THERE WERE A LOT OF ADULTS THERE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF CHILDREN IN THE EXCITEMENT OF THE CHILDREN'S EYES JUST REALLY STRUCK ME AND IT STRUCK ME THAT.

THINGS ALWAYS STAY THE SAME. AND IT IS AND WE NEED TO VOTE HERE AND OUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO LEARN THAT HE INVITED ME TO BE ON A RADIO SHOW THAT HE DOES, BUT IT I'M THE CHILD OF AN IMMIGRANT. MY GRANDFATHER, MY MATERIAL GRANDFATHER NEGOTIATED WITH HITLER AND SAID HE'S COMING FOR US. HE WAS IN POLAND. AND SURE ENOUGH ON SEPTEMBER 1ST 39 2 LUFTWAFFE PLANES CAME AND BOMBED AND STRAFED MY GRANDFATHER'S ESTATE. MY MOTHER WAS A WAR REFUGEE. SHE GREW UP IN ENGLAND AND THE ENGLISH DIDN'T REALLY COTTON TO THE POLISH WAR REFUGEE , SO SHE NEVER REALLY RESONATED WITH ENGLAND, AND SO SHE MOVED AWAY AFTER COLLEGE AND WAS A WOMAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY. UM. SHE MOVED TO BERLIN, THE ONLY JOB SHE COULD GET US WITH THE CIA WITH RADIO FREE EUROPE MET INFANTRYMEN US INFANTRYMEN IN THE CHURCH CHOIR, AND THAT WAS MY DAD.

I DON'T I DON'T EVEN REALLY QUITE UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT, UM I DON'T I THEY'RE NOT GOING IN CONTROL OF ANYTHING THEY SERVE AT THE PLEASURE, OF COURSE OF THE PARENTS AND THE CONSIDERED AND THAT THEIR CONSTITUENTS THAT ELECT THEM. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SCHOOL BOARDS KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR CHILDREN WITHOUT REGARD FOR PARENTAL PARTICIPATION? PARENTAL PARTICIPATION IS HIS HEAD IN SEVERAL WAYS. IT STARTS WITH THE ELECTION. THAT PARENTS, YOU KNOW THEY GET BEHIND. THEY DO THE RESEARCH HOPEFULLY AND ELECT THE SCHOOL BOARD. SO IT STARTS THERE. AND THEN, OF COURSE. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY PARENT THAT'S EVER TOLD ME THEY WANTED TO HAVE A HAVE A APPOINTMENT WITH THEIR CHILD'S TEACHER OR PRINCIPAL THAT WERE DENIED THAT THEIR SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS PARTICIPATES, AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PARTICIPATION. JUST LIKE THERE IS ON THIS COUNCIL FOR PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE AND AT THE END OF THE DAY. AGAIN WE'RE ELECTED.THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE SEE THAT CHANGE IN THE NEXT ELECTION CYCLE. OUR PARENTS ARE STANDING UP ALL OVER THE COUNTRY OF POLITICAL FRINGE GROUP. PARENTS PARENTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY CONCERNED PARENTS AND RIGHTFULLY SO THERE HAVE THERE'S THINGS THAT HAVE CANDLE TO LIGHT, YOU KNOW, NUMBER OF BOOKS. IF I TALKED JUST ABOUT LOCALLY, THERE'S OR SOME BOOKS THAT PARENTS HAVE MYSELF INCLUDED BEING A PARENT AND A GRANDPARENT IDENTIFIED THAT THEY'RE IN THE LIBRARY. I CERTAINLY DON'T AGREE WITH AND I THINK THERE IS INNOCENT AND UNWILLING PARENTS THAT ARE BROUGHT IN BASED ON AND SOME OF THOSE FEW BOOKS, UNFORTUNATELY, ARE LUMPED IN WITH 280 SOME OTHER BOOKS, FOR EXAMPLE, IN OUR COMMUNITY, THE ONE THAT DR DRE JUST SPOKE ABOUT. UM THERE'S ANOTHER BOOK CASH ON THE BRIDGE, WHICH IS ABOUT TEEN SUICIDE, TEENAGE SUICIDE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THOSE SUBJECTS. UM SO THE. THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERNED PARENTS AND RIGHTFULLY SO. AND THERE'S A LOT OF IN EVERY SCHOOL BOARD. EVERY TEACHER I'VE TALKED TO HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED AND HAVE THE SAME CONCERN AND THEY ARE ENGAGED IN PROCEDURES AND POLICIES THAT BETTER CAN CAN STOP THOSE THOSE BOOKS FROM GETTING INTO THE SYSTEM THAT WE PROBABLY ALL WOULD AGREE. SHOULDN'T BE. BUT THAT'S A PORTION. THEN THERE IS A WHOLE BUNCH OF BOOKS THAT I WOULD DISAGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
AND I THINK. THAT'S WHERE THERE'S SO MUCH CONFLICT AND PEOPLE ARE YELLING PAST EACH
[02:25:01]
OTHER, BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY, AND I RAMBLED THERE WITH MORE SPECIFICALLY, IS THERE A FRINGE POLITICAL MOVEMENT THERE? ABSOLUTELY AS I MEAN, IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A PLAYBOOK RIGHT NOW IN OUR GREAT GOP THAT IT'S A WAY TO MOTIVATE AND MOTIVATE THE BASE. GET OUT. SAVE OUR CHILDREN GET PORNOGRAPHY OUT OF THE SCHOOL LIBRARIES. THE PROBLEM IS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS THAT WE'RE AGAINST PORNOGRAPHY, AND THEY THEY ARE FOR PORNOGRAPHY. I DON'T KNOW ANY PARENT ANYWHERE OF ANY POLITICAL DISCIPLINE. OUR IDEOLOGY SAYS I WANT PORNOGRAPHY IN THE SCHOOLS. THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S ABOUT, BUT THAT SO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING IT THAT YEAH, THAT'S POLITICAL AND THEY'RE THEY'RE DOING A HORRIBLE JOB OF HAVING THAT SUBJECT DISCUSSED AND RESOLVED. AND RESPECTFUL AND CONSTRUCTIVE MANNER. DO YOU SUPPORT THE COUNCIL INTIMIDATION TACTICS THAT SEEK TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DIVISION TO SUSTAIN THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HOLD ON THEIR ON THEIR DICK. DICTATORIAL POWER DICTATED TUTORIAL POWER. UM I DON'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE THAT POWER.UH, BECAUSE BACK TO SAVANNAH SAID EARLIER. AND DO YOU. SUPPORT THE POSITION THAT ANY CURRICULUM MATERIALS POLICY OR PROCEDURE THAT NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR CHILDREN SHOULD BE CHANGED OR ELIMINATED. I THINK THAT ANY TIME WE IDENTIFY AS A SOCIETY, SOMETHING THAT'S DAMAGING TO OUR CHILDREN SHOULD BE CHANGED, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT GROUP OR THIS GROUP OR YOU OR ME THAT MAKE THAT DECISION UNILATERALLY . THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE AS A SOCIETY AND DEMOCRACY. WE COME TOGETHER AND WE HAVE TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS COLLECTIVELY. WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS IS SOMETHING NOT THAT THEY'RE COMING IN, DEMANDING 282 BOOKS, CUT AND PASTE THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THESE BOOKS CONTAIN. IT'S BEEN PROVEN OVER AND OVER THAT MANY OF THE BOOKS DON'T CONTAIN ANY OF THOSE THINGS. THEY READ EXCERPTS OF BOOKS THAT DON'T EVEN EXIST IN THE LIBRARY. THEY GET PEOPLE IN AN UPROAR AND A FRENZY AND THAT IS ALL A BUNCH OF RIDICULOUS, DIVISIVE NONSENSE. AND WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF THIS DISCUSSION, LIKE I SAID, I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO FIND A NUMBER OF BOOKS THAT EVERYONE WILL AGREE WITH.
SHOULDN'T BE THERE. THERE'S GOING TO BE A NUMBER OF BOOKS, EVERYONE EVEN YELLING TOP OF THEIR LUNGS. THEY ALL NEED TO BE REMOVED WHEN THEY ACTUALLY READ THEM WILL SAY, BOY, I WAS STUPID TO SAY THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE REMOVED. AND THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE THAT BIG GROUP OF THE MIDDLE AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A RESPECTABLE DISCUSSION ABOUT SHOULD IT BE SHOULDN'T BE WHAT'S THE VALUE AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE BASED ON YOUR OPINION OR MY OPINION OR ANYONE'S OPINION UNILATERALLY. IT WILL BE A COLLECTIVE GROUP WILL GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THAT DECISION AND THAT'S THE COUNTRY THAT THAT FREEDOM DEMOCRACY THING WE TALKED ABOUT. THAT SHOULD PREVAIL. AND IT SHOULD NOT BE THE LOUD, SQUEAKY WHEEL OR THE NOISY POLITICAL THIS OR THE FRINGE THAT THAT MAKES THAT DECISION SO. WITH THAT? THAT'S THAT'S MY COMMENTS TO TRY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS QUICKLY. AND TOMORROW'S THE LAST DAY FOR NO TEGLA SORRY. TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY FOR EARLY VOTING. THIS SATURDAY'S ELECTION IN FRISCO ISD AND IN PROSPEROUS CITY, AND EVERY I SAID, THAT'S GOTTA BOARD OF TRUSTEES AROUND US, SO PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE. AND VOTE FOR THE GOOD ONES. MOTION TO ADJOURN TO MAKE SECOND ON FAVOR, ALL RIGHT? AH!
