SCOTT. GOOD EVENING AT 6 31 P AND WELCOME TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY'S PLANNING HIS OWN

[CALL TO ORDER]

WE SERVE AT THEIR PLEASURE. SIMILARLY ITEMS TONIGHT WILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ATTACHED IN SOME OF THE ARMS MAY NOT HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING. YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN BOTH OF THOSE DIFFERENT AGENDA TYPE ITEMS. UM, WE'LL CALL YOU UP. WHEN IT'S YOUR TIME TO SPEAK. IF YOU DO COME TO THE PODIUM, COUPLE THINGS ONE.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS (For Non-Public Hearing Items)]

NOW I'M GOING TO BE REALLY CONCISE HERE. I DON'T WANT TO BE APPEAR TO BE ABRUPT, BUT WE HAVE THIS TIME LIMITATION. SO I'M GOING TO GET RIGHT TO THE POINT. DUE TO THE APPARENT NON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER IRREGULARITIES OF THE PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAN. I REQUEST THAT THE P N Z DENY THE PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLATT UNLESS AND UNTIL IT MEETS ALL THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AGREED TO WITH THE CITY AND NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS IN ORDER FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER TO INDUCE THE CITY TO GRANT A PROPERTY REZONING IN 2019 IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS IS AN INFIELD DEVELOPMENT. IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. BECAUSE THIS ISN'T I MEAN, THIS IS A 50 YEAR OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN HERE. THINGS LIKE DRAINAGE AND ALL THE REST OF THAT NEED TO BE VERY CAREFULLY ENGINEERED AND THOUGHT ABOUT AND NOTED IN THE PLANT. SO UM. REZONING TO S F FIVE WAS SOUGHT BY THE PROPERTY OWNER. IN MID 2019 AND WAS PROPOSED AS UTILIZING A SINGLE ENTRY EXIT POINT RURAL ROAD WHICH WOULD SERVE OVER 90 NEW HOMES. VIA HIS FORMER DRIVEWAY. THIS WAS NEARLY UNIVERSALLY OPPOSED BY THE PROPERTY ON US IN OUR AREA. AND UH, WELL, LONG STORY SHORT. UH FIRST QUESTION HERE IS, DOES THIS PERSON OR COMPANY HAVE STANDING TO EVEN FILE THIS PLAN ? THERE'S NO PUBLIC RECORD THAT THEY OWN AN INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY THAT THE OWNER HAS EVEN AGREED. TO THEM ACTING ON HIS BEHALF, APPARENTLY SO. THAT'S JUST A QUESTION. I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT. OKAY? AND MY IN THE REST OF MY TIME. I'M GOING TO LEAVE WITH THE CITY. THIS LADY WHO IS YOUR SECRETARY, I GUESS. THESE ARE THE LETTERS SIGNED BY BOB BRODER AT THE TIME. OF THE REZONING BEFORE THIS BODY AS IT WAS CONSTITUTED , THEN IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER OF 2019. AND THE SECOND DOCUMENT WOULD LIKE TO THE THIRD DOCUMENT I'D LIKE TO LEAVE BEHIND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS THAT WE

[00:05:05]

THANK YOU. THE NEXT CARD IS BETH MORTENSEN. SHE WILL NOT SPEAK TO ME. THANK YOU. NEXT CARD IS PAUL SOWARD'S SOWARD'S. GOOD EVENING. I'M PAUL SELL WORDS. I LOVE IT. 6 TO 5 SAUREL ROAD. IN MCKINNEY. WE LIVE JUST NORTH OF THE OF THE DEVELOPMENT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE SINGLE ENTRY ENTRY AND EXIT INGRESS AND EGRESS. THAT I THINK PRESENTS SOME REAL PROBLEMS WITH 90 SOMEWHAT HOME FOR WHATEVER THAT NUMBER IS IN THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT WOULD BE FORCED UP AND DOWN THAT IN THE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THAT RAISES THAT'S WHY I HAVE SOME OF THE OTHER CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

UH, KAREN SOWARD'S. MY NAME IS KAREN SOWARD'S I TO LIVE AT 6 TO 5 SORREL ROAD.

[00:10:05]

SURE AND WE DO HAVE. I THINK A REPRESENTATIVE FROM ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HERE AS WELL, IF THERE IS ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS , BUT I DID WANT TO JUST REMIND THE COMMISSION THAT AS A PLAT ITEM WE AS A STAFF ARE LOOKING AT LOOKING AT THAT. FROM A VERY TECHNICAL POINT OF VIEW. IT IS NOT A SUBJECTIVE ITEM FOR US SIMILAR TO A ZONING OR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. OUR OBLIGATION AS A STAFF IS TO ENSURE THAT THE SUBMITTED PLATT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, AND IF IT DOES, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL. NOW WITH THE CHANGES IN STATE LAW A FEW YEARS AGO, THE WAY IN WHICH WE ACTUALLY PRESENT PLATZ FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT. YOU'LL RECALL THAT WE NOW RECOMMEND APPROVAL, CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL, AND I DO WANT TO WALK THROUGH THE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN THOSE, OBVIOUSLY, IF WE ARE RECOMMENDING A FLAT APPROVAL , THAT MEANS THE PLATTE BEFORE YOU MEETS ALL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS OF OUR CITIES DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS WITH NO NECESSARY CHANGES, HOWEVER, SOMETIMES THERE ARE CHANGES THAT ARE NECESSARY ON A PLAT THAT ARE CHANGES THAT WOULD NOT ALTER THE DEVELOPMENT FOOTPRINT OF THE PLATTE. THOSE WOULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE NOTATIONS OF EASEMENTS, OR WE DID HEAR SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT ONE POINT

[00:15:01]

WHAT WOULD THEN HAPPEN TO THE PLAN, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE PROCESS. UM SO IT'S A TWO STEP PROCESS AND MCKINNEY YOU HAVE A PRELIMINARY PLATT THAT SHOWS THE PRELIMINARY LAYOUT AND THEN THAT PRELIMINARY PLATT CAN GET AN APPROVAL OR A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL, AND AFTER THAT PRELIMINARY PLATT IS CONSIDERED THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK IN WITH WHAT WE CALL A FINAL PLATT. AND THAT FINAL PLAN IS THE PLAN THAT WOULD GET FILED WITH THE COUNTY AND PUT THE LOTS ON RECORD FOR SALE. SO IF THEY DON'T MEET THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, EITHER AT THIS STAGE OR AT THE FINAL, PLATT STAGE THAT PLATT WOULD NOT BE FILED, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY RECORD LOTS FOR RECORD AND SELL THEM FOR DEVELOPMENT. IN THE FINAL PLAQUE DOES COME BACK FOR APPROVAL. THE FINAL, PLATT WILL COME BACK FOR APPROVAL. THAT'S CORRECT. YOU FEEL THAT PLAQUE CURRENTLY MEETS WHAT WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL AS FAR AS THE ZONING WE THINK THAT THE LAYOUT DOES. OF COURSE THERE ARE NOTATIONS. I BELIEVE THERE'S A SETBACK EXHIBIT THAT WE STILL NEED TO OBTAIN FROM THEM. UM BUT WE DO THINK THAT THOSE ARE ITEMS THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED WITHOUT ALTERING THE LAYOUT OF THE PLATT. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT FIRE APPROVAL WOULD PUT NOTATION FOR SPRINKLERS REQUIRED ON ALL THESE HOMES. IT WOULD, AND THAT IS THAT IS, UM PART OF THE ZONING ON THE PROPERTY SO THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT OR CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION. IF THOSE FIRE SPRINKLERS ARE NOT PROVIDED. SO IT'LL BE A NOTATION. OTHER QUESTIONS OF MISS ARNOLD. JENNIFER THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE IT. EVERYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON A NON PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM TONIGHT.

ALRIGHT WE WILL MOVE TO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO SPEAK ON AND ITEM THAT IS NOT ONLY AGENDA . SO IF YOU HEAR TONIGHT AND RELAX TO ADDRESS PLANNING ZONING ABOUT A NOT ENGENDER ITEM. WE DO HAVE TWO CARDS. MISS MYRA THOMPSON. YOU HAVE BOTH BOXES. CHECKED? YES AS YOU WANT TO SPEAK, AND NO, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK. MYRA THOMPSON, ANYONE NO. ALRIGHT, WE'LL MOVE HER. TOPIC OF DISCUSSION WAS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THAT DOES THAT RING A BELL? MISS THOMPSON. SHE HAS.

OKAY. ARE WE GOOD? THINK CHILDREN OKAY OUTSIDE. OKAY WELL , WE'LL GO CHECK. WE HAVE ANOTHER CARD. UM RUN L CAROL. FOR NOW? YES. ALSO. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS RONALD KAREL AM FFS COORDINATOR HERE AT MCKINNEY AND PRESIDE OVER AT 603 NORTH TENNESSEE MCKINNEY. AND TODAY I JUST KIND OF WANT TO COME IN HERE AND DISCUSS THE TOPIC. THAT'S UH,

[00:20:06]

SO ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON A NON PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. NO ONE ELSE. NO ONE ELSE. ALRIGHT

[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Replat for Lot F1R, Lot F2 & F3, Block F for Wilmeth Ridge South, of the Southwest Corner of Wilmeth Rd and Ridge Rd]

[00:30:09]

WE'RE WILLING. I'M ASKING Y'ALL FOR APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS, NOTING THE LOT LINES WON'T CHANGE. THE LAYOUTS WON'T CHANGE. ALL THREE OF THESE LOTS WILL BE COMMON AREA LOTS. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THE DEVELOPERS TRYING TO DEDICATE THE MIDDLE LOT. THAT'S ALL FLOODPLAIN ALL COMMON AREAS TO THE H O A. FOR WILMOTH RICH SOUTH TO THE EAST. THEY'RE WANTING TO EVENTUALLY. POTENTIALLY DEVELOP EITHER OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH WATTS FOR COMMERCIAL USE. THEY UNDERSTAND THEY'LL COME IN HERE BEFORE YOU AND ASKED FOR REZONING. AND SO WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR CONDITIONAL APPROVAL AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THE QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT. VERY GOOD. WE'LL HAVE THE STAFF COME BACK UP AND STRICKLAND OR SOMEBODY WANT THIS. OKAY, VERY GOOD. SO, UH, FOR THE FOR THE SECOND ONE FOR THE LOT F TWO.

IT'S COMPLETELY UNDER THE FLOODPLAIN, AND OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT REQUIRES MINIMUM 80 FT OF DEATH. FOR ITS USABILITY, AND AS A LOT F TWO WAS NOT INDICATED AS A COMMON AREA, SO THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE DISAPPROVAL. SO. I'M SO SORRY, BUT I JUST WANTED TO JUMP IN WITH THE DISAPPROVAL. YOU CAN STILL RESUBMIT WITH THE UPDATED COMMENTS. YOU WON'T HAVE TO START THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN . SO YOU CAN YOU'LL GET THE COMMENTS FROM BOUDICCA. WE WILL WORK WITH YOU TO HAVE THEM ADDRESSED AND THEN WE WILL COME FORWARD TO HAVE THEM ADDRESSED.

HAVE IT PRE APPROVED, OF COURSE. SO THERE ISN'T THERE'S A TIMING ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE A. AND SO THEY'RE TRYING TO GET ALL THIS DONE BEFORE JULY. WHICH IS THE REASONING FOR THE REQUEST NOW. AGAIN I'M BEING HATE TO SAY THAT I AM BEING THROWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS TRYING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAT WAS MADE, AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THIS ALL TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE THAT JULY TIMELINE. APPRECIATE THIS, BUT YOU'RE ALSO ASKING US TO PLAY SOMEWHAT ENGINEERS AND WE'RE NOT THAT AT THIS POINT. WELL THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR US TO CONSIDER DOING A PLANT THAT'S BEEN DISAPPROVED AND MAKING UP OUR OWN CONDITIONS. UNDERSTOOD I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS FOR CONDITIONAL APPROVAL. THE LOT LINES WILL NOT CHANGE. ALL THE USES ARE STILL COMMON AREA USES, SO THERE IS NO BASED ON THIS PLANT BEING FILED, THERE WILL NOT BE AN ABILITY FOR THE DEVELOPER TO PUT ANYTHING ON THERE OTHER THAN GREEN SCAPE.

AND USE FOR OPEN SPACE AND COMMON AREA USES BASED ON THE P D THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED.

COULD YOU DO A CONVEYANCE PLANT IN TIME? THE APARTMENT COMING. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE

[00:35:04]

WE BY LAW HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON THOSE ITEMS WITHIN 15 DAYS. SO THE TIMING OR THE TIMING CONCERN ABOUT GETTING A PLATTER WITH A FULL APPROVAL BY JULY WILL ALMOST FULLY REST ON THE APPLICANTS ABILITY TO ADDRESS THESE COMMENTS, BECAUSE ONCE WE GET THAT RECENT MIDDLE IN, WE WILL HAVE TO BRING IT BACK FORWARD TO EITHER THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL IN ORDER TO TAKE ACTION ON IT WITHIN 15 DAYS, SO IF YOU'RE SIGNIFICANT CONCERN IS THAT OF TIMING, KNOWING THAT WE'RE AT MAY 30 MAY 23RD. I WOULD NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO MEET THAT JULY TIME FRAME THAT YOU'RE ON, UM, SO LONG AS WE'RE ACTUALLY ABLE TO GET YOUR ADDRESSED COMMENTS IN A TIMELY MANNER. OTHER QUESTIONS ANYONE? HMM. WE'RE GOOD. YEAH. A MOTION TO DENY CASE 23 0100 R. OCEAN MAN MICHELLE ABOUT TO RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL. OF THIS PLANT DID LIKE OF CONFORMANCE WITH THE ENGINEERING DESIGN MANUAL.

SECOND. LIKE IT, RUSS, SECOND UM IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES. THAT CONCLUDES THE, UM PLANT ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA. THE NEXT ATOM WILL BE A REGULAR AGENDA. THESE ITEMS WILL HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS ATTACHED. FIRST ENEMIES 21-0116 TO A PUBLIC

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Variance to a Site Plan for Jefferson Bois D’Arc Multi-Family, Located Approximately 540 Feet South of U.S. Highway 380 (University Drive) and on the West Side of Bois D’Arc Road]

TALL, SOLID MASONRY SCREENING WALL ALONG ALL SIDE AND REAR PROPERTY ONES. THE LOCATIONS WERE THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO ALTER SCREENING DEVICES ALONG THE WEST, SOUTH AND NORTHEAST SECTIONS OF THE SITE. INSTEAD OF A SOLID MASONRY WALL. THE PROPOSED DEVICES THAT TUBULAR STEEL FENCE WITH SHRUBS AND THERE ARE SOME MASONRY COLUMNS PROVIDED ALONG THE EASTERN PROPERTY LINE. THE EASTERN AND NORTHWEST BOUNDARIES OF THE CIDER SCREENED AS REQUIRED. THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY SITS HIGHER THAN THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES TO THE WEST DUE TO A CREEK BECAUSE OF THE GRADING ON THE SITE, RETAINING WALLS THAT ARE APPROXIMATELY 4 FT. IN HEIGHT AND MOST LOCATIONS AND GET UP TO 12 FT. THE TALLEST POINT ARE BEING PROPOSED. THE REQUIREMENT OF THE 6 FT. TALL, SOLID MASONRY SCREENING WALL IS MEANT BY NEARLY ALL MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS IN MCKINNEY. THE FEW EXCEPTIONS TO THOSE ARE LOCATED WITHIN INHERENTLY URBAN AREAS, SUCH AS CRAIG RANCH IN NEAR THE MCKINNEY TOWN CENTER. DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDINGS PAIRED WITH THE SITUATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN THE MASONRY WALL REQUIREMENT BEING INCLUDED IN THE UDC AND BEING MET BY NEARLY ALL MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS ACROSS THE CITY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF THE REQUESTED VARIANTS AND AUSTIN FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE THANK YOU, JAKE MEMBERS QUESTIONS ANYONE. CHECK THANK YOU. IS OUR AFRICAN HERE TONIGHT? SO THANK YOU. MR CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND BOB ROEDER 1700 DRUG BIRDS SUITE 300 MCKINNEY ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. THE. CRAFTED GRAPHIC THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU DISPLAYS WHERE WE ARE SEEKING TO

[00:40:06]

WE'RE PROPOSING TO PUT THE 6 FT MASONRY WALL IN THAT AREA. I THINK THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE BECAUSE OF THE TYPES OF USES THAT ARE THERE. YOU'VE GOT TRASH . YOU'VE GOT ODORS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. SO MASONRY WALL WORKS, I THINK WELL FOR THE MULTI FAMILY THE NORTHEAST CORNER. AH IS ADJACENT TO PROPERTY ON FIRE EXCITES HE'S INTENDING TO DEVELOP THAT, AS HE HAS THAT ENTIRE QUADRANT THERE. HARDEN AND CREATE E. HE IS FINE WITH US PUTTING IN A TUBULAR FENCE WITH MASONRY COLUMNS AND LANDSCAPE THAT GOES WITH IT. WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO IT IN THAT AREA AS A WAY OF SORT OF SOFTENING THE EDGE. AND IT WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF WHAT WE ARE SHOWING. NOT REQUIRED, BUT WHAT WE'RE SHOWING. WE'RE GOING TO DO A LONGBOW DARK. THAT BLUE LINE IS THE MASONRY COLUMNS, TUBULAR STEEL FENCE AND THE SHRUBBERY. SO WE'VE MADE THAT CURVE UP THERE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER TO TRY TO HAVE SOME CONSISTENCY WITH THE LOOKING FIELD OF THE PROJECT THERE. AS MENTIONED BY THE STAFF TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY IS VACANT LAND. IT'S A FAIRLY LARGE TRACT. UM IT IS IN A PROBATE PROCEEDING. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IT IS NOT ZONED.

BUT IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THIS PROPERTY SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE CREEK. THAT GOES ALONG THE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER WEST THAN THIS PROPERTY LINE. WITH THE ELEVATIONS CREATED BY THE REQUIRED RETAINING WALL. WE THINK PUTTING A ANOTHER 6 FT. MASONRY STRUCTURE ON TOP OF THAT IS GOING TO CREATE A FAIRLY 100 TRACKED IVO AND. NOT NOT UTILITY SENSE. UH, STRUCTURE, SO WE ARE PROPOSING. TO USE TUBULAR STEEL , MASONRY COLUMNS, TUBULAR STEEL AND THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPING TO END UP WITH A 6 FT SCREEN. THE SAME IS TRUE ALONG THE SOUTH SOUTH BOUNDARY IS A PRETTY UNIQUE SITUATION. THERE IS A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION, BUT IT DOES NOT A BUT THIS PROPERTY THERE IS A SINGLE FAMILY OR A SINGLE LOT THERE. UH MR COX WOULD KNOW. THAT IS THE ICEMAN'S LOCKED, MR FERMAN. AND, UM, SO WE ARE PROPOSING AGAIN TO DO A SOFT EDGE THERE WITH TUBULAR STEEL. AND WITH THE MAINSTREAM SCREENING UM, WE THINK THAT THIS , UH, HAD A PROPER AMOUNT OF SOFTNESS TO THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY AND YET PROVIDES ALL OF THE SCREENING THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED AND WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. UH SO I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR FAVORABLE APPROVAL.

SINCE YOU'RE THE LAST STOP IN THIS TASK. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT. TWO. BOTH AND I, UH STAFF REPORT WE GOT EARLIER TODAY. SHOWED IN THIS AREA HERE. IT WAS JUST GOING TO BE TUBULAR. IS THERE A MINUTE CHANGE WHERE YOU ACTUALLY GO AHEAD NOW AND DO WOULDN'T STAB BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY IN OUR REPORT THE NEW YOUR ORIGINAL APPLICATION. PRESENTATION BUT IT WAS SHOWN THAT THIS WASN'T GOING TO BE ACTUALLY MADE COLUMNS. I'M NOT SAYING WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, MR WOODRUFF. BUT IS IT THE NORTHEAST? THE NORTHEAST CORNER NORTHEAST CORNER THERE? YES, WE YES, WE, UH, WE'VE RETHOUGHT THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE MAKES MCCOLLUM'S WITH TUBULAR STEEL. AND SECOND QUESTION. THERE WAS A. SOMEBODY WROTE IN OPPOSITION. ROCK COMPANY JBS GAVE ME SOMETHING. ALSO ON THE NORTH SIDE. WE WERE THINKING THAT YOU ARE DOING MASONRY WALL SO THEY'RE JUST CONFIRMED. YOU'RE GOING TO THE GREEN IS MASONRY BALL GREEN IS THE MASONRY WALL. YES THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. WHAT'S THE SHRUBBERY THAT YOU'RE PUTTING ON THE SOUTH SIDE? HOW TALL IS IT? WELL IT'S REQUIRED TO BE PLANTED INITIAL INITIAL HEIGHT IS 3 FT. ON I BELIEVE 3 FT 3 FT SPACING. BUT IT HAS TO BE A PLANT THAT IS DESIGNED TO GET TO 6 FT. TO MEET THE SIX PHYSICAL CLIMATE. I THINK THE PLANT MATERIAL IS PROBABLY LISTED ON THE PLATTE I MEAN ON THE SITE PLAN. IF NOT, THERE'S A LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT

[00:45:04]

OKAY THE MOTION CARRIES A PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN CLOSED. MEMBERS DO HAVE QUESTIONS OF STAFF OR OF THE AFRICAN ONE QUESTION THE AFRICAN. TO THE SOUTH. WILL THERE BE ANY RETAINING WALL RELATED TO THAT LOT LOCATED TO THE SOUTH OR THERE'S NO RETAINING WALL ALONG THE SOUTH.

YES. THE OWNER OF THAT PROPERTY HAD PARTICIPATED WHEN WE CAME IN FOR THE ZONING AND WAS IN FAVOR OF THE ZONING. TRIED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM FOR THIS VARIANCE AND HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN GETTING A RESPONSE. I WILL NOTE. THAT'S A REAL NARROW IT'S REALLY A SINGLE. WHAT THERE. WITH MY.

THOUGHT IS THAT IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO STAY A REAL NARROW RESIDENTIAL SINGLE LIE AND TYPICALLY, WE WOULD HAVE IN MASONRY WALL THERE, BUT I WOULD THINK MR MAN'S I THAT THE LOT IS SO NARROW THAT IF YOU PUT A MASONRY WALL THERE IT'S GONNA REALLY LOOK LIKE IT'S A CORRIDOR THERE. AND WE ARE THOUGHT PROCESSES THE LANDSCAPING. WITH THE TWO BETTER FENCE WILL GIVE THE PROTECTION ABOUT INGRESS AND EGRESS, BUT THE LANDSCAPING WILL SOFTEN THAT EDGE. SO THE JUST SO I'M CLEAR THE VARIANCE REQUEST TO THE WEST INTO THE SOUTH. OR BOTH. UH FOR AESTHETICS. AND IF I READ YOUR EVENT PICTURES CORRECTLY. YOU'RE PROPOSING TO PUT SHRUBS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TUBULAR FENCE WHERE THOSE CHANGES ARE MADE. THAT'S CORRECT SO WE CAN MAINTAIN THEM. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU, MR ROEDER. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT, SAYS THE APPLICANTS

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request to Allow for a Utility Substation (Oncor Bloomdale Switch Station), Located Approximately 1,300 Feet East of U.S. 75 and North of Shawnee Drive]

THE PROPOSED STATION WILL BE OPERATED REMOTELY, SO TRAFFIC IMPACT SHOULD BE MINIMAL.

HOWEVER, AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE NEIGHBORS, THE APPLICANT HAS DECIDED TO MOVE THE PROPOSED ACCESS DRIVE TO THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, TAKING ACCESS FROM US 75 INSTEAD OF THROUGH

[00:55:04]

THE PROPERTY WILL BE SCREENED WITH AN 8 FT TALL MASONRY SCREENING DEVICE ON THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN BOUNDARIES OF THE STATION AND OFFENSE WITH GATES WILL BE INCLUDED ON THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN SIDES TO MAINTAIN SECURITY AND SAFETY. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS THE FACILITY BEING PROPOSED IS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY.

CONSIDERING THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED SUBSTATION IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE SURROUNDING USES. THE PRESERVATION OF THE COMMERCIAL FRONTAGE ALONG U S. 75. AS WELL AS THE OVERALL HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

AND ALL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MR BENNETT. MEMBERS. QUESTIONS OF STAFF. MR BENNETT, WILL YOU HAD A PREVIOUS, UM CASE THAT COME THROUGH RELATED TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND A CELL TOWER. IN WHICH OUR CITY COUNCIL TOOK ISSUE WITH THE APPROVAL THAT CAME THROUGH HERE, EVEN WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH THAT. DO YOU FEEL THAT WE PLANNING IS TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION OF WHAT THE COUNCIL'S PRESIDENT BEFORE WITH THE UTILITIES IS YES, THAT'S CORRECT, SIR. OKAY AND YOU KNOW IT IN THE STAFF REPORT , ALLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL ALONG THE ACCESS TO 75 SURE THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT THAT WAS THE PREFERRED STANDARD HERE AS FAR AS WHAT WOULD YOU SORT OUT TO PRESERVE? WE SOUGHT OUT TO PUSH THIS BACK OFF OF THE FRONTAGE OF US 75 IN ORDER TO KEEP THAT FRONTAGE IN PLACE FOR POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL USES IN THE FUTURE. YOU'RE SAYING THAT PLANNING PREFERRED IT TO BE PUSHED CLOSER TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO PRESERVE COMMERCIAL ALONG 75 PREFERRED THAT IT BE PUSHED FURTHER AWAY FROM US 75.

SO. THIS LOCATION ALSO ALLOWS THEM TO CONNECT TO THE EXISTING OVERHEAD POWER LINES, WHICH ARE ACROSS THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY TODAY. NO SOUTHEAST POWER LINES CONTINUE TO GO SOUTH AND CROSS THE ROAD AND ENTER AN INDUSTRIAL PARK. WAS THERE ANY ENTERTAINMENT OR REVIEW AS TO THAT THOSE WOULD BE BETTER LOCATIONS, THE NEXT TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT APPLICANT TO SPEAK TO POTENTIAL WEATHER LOCATIONS THAT WERE SOUGHT AFTER FOR THIS PROJECT. OTHER QUESTIONS OF MR BENNETT. SO CLARIFICATION. YOU SAID THAT THE ROAD THERE'S TWO ITEMS HERE THAT WE GOTTA ADDRESS AND LOOK AT TONIGHT BUT THE ROAD INSTEAD OF COMING FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST, NOW IS GOING TO COME FROM THE WEST AND COME BACK TO THE EAST. THAT'S CORRECT. SO FOR SOME REASON, IT'S NOT SHOWING MY ANNOTATION ON HERE, EITHER, BUT IT'S INSTEAD OF GOING BEHIND THE HOMES TO THE EAST AND CONNECTING THE SPUR 1 95. IT IS NOW COMING OUT TO THE WORST TO US, 75 AND THERE WILL BE A RIGHT TURN LANE OFF OF YOU. THE FRONTAGE ROAD FOR THAT. ONE MORE QUESTION, SO JUST CLARIFICATION. YOU SAID THE PLAN WAS ORIGINALLY COMMERCIAL ALONG HIGHWAY 75 DEVELOPING COMMERCIAL. WELL NO, SIR, WE ARE JUST RECOMMENDING THAT WE PUSH THIS BACK OFF THE FRONTAGE OF US 75 IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THAT FOR POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL USES IN THE FUTURE MASTER PLAN HAS COMMERCIAL 1 75. I DON'T THINK THAT THERE IS A MASTER PLAN FOR THIS ZONING. UM, HER. AS FAR AS THE COMPLAINT. I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE THAT AS EITHER COMMERCIAL CENTER, ONE OF OUR COMMERCIAL PLACE TYPE DISTRICTS ALONG U S. 75. SO YOU'RE SEEING THEM PLANNING WOULD HAVE RECOMMENDED DENIAL IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE SERVICE ROAD OF 75 THAT I'M NOT SURE OF WHAT THIS LOCATION JENNIFER. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO THAT? I WOULD SAY NOT NECESSARILY, AND I THINK THE POSITION THAT STAFF TOOK WAS CONSISTENT WITH SOME, UM, FEEDBACK THAT THE CITY PROVIDED BACK IN 2019, WHICH WAS TO TRY AND PRESERVE COMMERCIAL FRONTAGE IS SO WHERE THE APPLICANT ULTIMATELY DECIDED TO LAY OUT THE SUBSTATION ON THEIR TRACK WAS THEIR DECISION, NOT STAFF DECISION, BUT OUR DIRECTION TO THEM WAS TRY AND PRESERVE THAT COMMERCIAL FRONTAGE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. SO IS THIS PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE LOCATION? A IS THAT A SUFFICIENT DISTANCE OFF OF 75 SERVICE ROAD? WHEN YOU'RE REFERRING TO LOCATION, A TALKING ABOUT THE

[01:00:01]

QUESTION WAS, IS THAT SUFFICIENT DISTANCE OFFICE THIS SERVICE ROOM? WE? WE FEEL LIKE IT PROVIDES ENOUGH DISTANCE OFF THE FRONTAGE ROAD TO ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. YES.

YES. QUESTIONS WE'VE BEEN HANDED THIS AND NOT QUITE SURE EXACTLY WHERE THIS HAS BEEN FROM THAT IS FROM A CITIZEN. IT'S NOT FROM STAFF OR THE APPLICANT. YES, SIR. QUESTIONS OF RABBINIC. JAKE THANK YOU, SIR. APPLICANT HERE TONIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. CHAIR AND COMMISSION. MY NAME'S SETH SAMPSON. I'M CITING SPECIALIST FOR ENCORE TONIGHT. I HAVE WITH ME. JARED TAYLOR ARE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE FROM VINI ALSO HAVE ROB MYERS WITH KIM LEE HORN. THEY ARE CIVIL CONSULTANTS ON THE PROJECT. AND WE ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM RAYBURN, WHO WE ARE PARTNER PARTNERING WITH ON THIS PROJECT, SO I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OF US. AND, UM YOU WANT TO GET ANYTHING OR JUST WAIT FOR THE QUESTIONS TO COME? TAKE US THROUGH YOUR PROCESS OF NOTIFICATION AS FAR AS THE RESIDENTS IN THIS AREA. RELATED TO WHEN YOU STARTED NOTIFYING.

AND WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU NOTIFY THEM OF? SELECTION PROCESS. SO IN REFERENCE TO THE SCP, WHICH IS ONLY IN CASE THAT'S ACTUALLY THE CITY'S NOTIFICATION. SO UM, THAT MAYBE THERE'S ENCORE, NOTIFY FOR TRANSMISSION LINES OR DONE ANY KIND OF HELLO, JEREMY. SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS ENCORE DID NOT ENCORE WAS NOT THE APPLICANT FOR THE TRANSMISSION LINE APPROVAL THAT WAS DONE BY RAYBURN ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE. SO RAYBURN'S DOING THE NOTIFICATION ON CORE OWNS THE LAND. RAYBURN'S SO WHO'S WITH RAYBURN? MR DONOVAN. HERE IS WITH RAYBURN. HELPFUL HE COMES AND JOINS US HERE A MINUTE. IF I CAN LET ME TALK THROUGH THE PROCESS GENERALLY.

OKAY, SO FOR A TRANSMISSION LINE TO BE APPROVED, AN APPLICANT HAS TO COME FORWARD TO THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS PROVIDE ROUTES WHERE THE TRANSMISSION LINE WOULD TERMINATE STATE LAW IN TEXAS SAYS THAT WHOEVER OWNS THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE. THE EXISTING TRANSMISSION LINE RUNNING NORTH AND SOUTH. THERE HAS TO BUILD A POINT OF INTERCONNECTION FOR THAT NEW TRANSMISSION LINES THAT WILL INTERCONNECT THAT IS ON COURSE ROLE HERE. SO THAT APPLICATION CAME FORWARD BY RAYBURN ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE. THERE WERE I BELIEVE THREE DIFFERENT ENDPOINTS THAT WERE AVAILABLE IN THAT APPLICATION FOR THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS TO SELECT TO WHERE ON THE WEST IN MCKINNEY, ONE WAS ON THE FOUR EAST AT A TEXAS TO MEXICO POWER STATION, THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THEY RECEIVED THROUGH A CONTESTED CASE PROCEEDING. SELECTED THIS PROPERTY, THE BLOOMINGDALE TRACTORS, THE TERMINATION POINT. SO THAT ORDER FROM THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS REQUIRES ON COURT TO BUILD A STATION TO INTERCONNECT RAYBURN, WHO WILL OWN THE TRANSMISSION LINE TO SERVE THEIR CUSTOMER AT THAT ENDPOINT. SO IN THIS PROCESS, WHAT WAS GIVING AS FAR AS SITES SITE LOCATIONS OF THIS INTO WHOM , AS FAR AS THAT GOES WINDED, THE CITY GET NOTIFICATION AS TO INPUT INTO THIS OR NOT. THAT WOULD BE A BETTER QUESTION FOR RAVEN. THEY WERE THE ONES IN CHARGE OF THAT TRANSMISSION LINE PROCEEDING. SO GO AHEAD. COMING UP. HE'S GOING. GOOD EVENING. I'M SCOTT DONALD WITH REVEREND ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE. 9 50.

CENTS ROAD. ROCKWALL, TEXAS. BECAUSE JUST TO GO AHEAD AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, SO THE STATE THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSIONS NOTICE BOUNDARY IS 300 FT WITHIN ANY TRANSMISSION LINE ROUTES, AND SO EVERY LANDOWNER EVERY ENTITY WITHIN 300 FT OF THE TRANSMISSION LINE ROUTES WERE NOTIFIED FOR THIS PROJECT. WERE THEY NOTIFIED OF A SUBSTATION OR TRANSMISSION LINES? SO IN THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS IN THE AND THE. THE MIDDLE TO THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION TO GERMANS POINT IT DOES SPEAK TO A CONNECTION POINT FOR THAT FACILITY AND AGAIN THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS FOR THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS AND THE STATE OF TEXAS REQUIRES NOTIFICATIONS FROM WITHIN 300 FT OF A TRANSMISSION LINE. SO WHEN A RESIDENT RECEIVES SOMETHING DID THEY RECEIVE THAT A SUBSTATION WAS GOING TO THIS LOCATION, OR DID THEY RECEIVE SOMETHING THAT SAID THE TRANSMISSION LINE ON SO INSIDE OF THE APPLICATION THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THAT IS ON THE PUBLIC FILINGS FOR THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION THAT IS INDICATED IN THE FAMILY. SO THEY RECEIVE A LETTER TO SAY, GO LOOK FOR THIS FILING, AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND IT THEY RECEIVE THEY RECEIVED THE TEXAS LAND ORDER BILL OF RIGHTS AS WELL AS SOME OTHER INFORMATION THAT POINTS THEM TO THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION FILINGS PAGE WHERE

[01:05:02]

RAYBURN HAPPENED CAME FROM SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE. I BELIEVE I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT JUST PUSHING IT FURTHER WEST. AND WOULD THAT BE UNDER THE WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE YOU HADN'T SEEN IT? SO I WAS WONDERING IF IT'S UNDER THE TRANSMISSION LINES THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING OF. I DO NOT KNOW, SIR. APOLOGIES. OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT. WHAT YEAH, I GOT ONE MORE. UM AND NOW BEFORE THE ROAD WAS GOING TO THE EAST, AND NOW IT'S COMING OFF THE ACCESS.

THE SOLE ACCESS TO THIS IS COMING OFF OF CENTRAL EXPRESS 75. IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH, CORRECT? YES. THAT'S REALLY IN RESPONSE TO A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK WE'VE RECEIVED FROM RESIDENTS IN THE AREA THAT OBJECTED TO APOLOGIZE. I NEED TO SPEAK CLOSER. THAT'S REALLY IN RESPONSE TO A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM RESIDENTS WHO DIDN'T WANT TO SEE

[01:10:04]

CLARIFICATION QUESTION. THE OBVIOUSLY. PICKED THIS LOT. BUT IS IT NARROWED DOWN SPECIFICALLY AT THIS LOCATION WITHIN THIS LOT, OR IS THERE FLEXIBILITY WITHIN YOUR PARAMETERS TO MOVE THAT WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE LOT? THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION. MY ANSWER IS THAT WOULD BE I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS PRECISE DOWN TO LIKE A MEAT AND BOUNDS SPOT IF THAT IS YOUR QUESTION ON THE PROPERTY THE LIMITATION. THE BIG LIMITATIONS. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PROPERTY, SEE THE DASH LINE RUNNING JUST NORTH OF THE SUBSTATION. THOSE ARE THE FLOODPLAINS THAT EXIST. YOU DON'T BUILD ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PHARMA SUBSTATION IN A FLOODPLAIN. YOU CAN BUILD A TRANSMISSION LINE IN A FLOODPLAIN BECAUSE THE WIRES WAY UP ABOVE, BUT YOU DON'T BUILD A SUBSTATION IN A FLOODPLAIN, ESPECIALLY AS SEVERAL RESIDENTS HAVE TOLD US HOW MUCH THIS AREA FLOODS. THOSE DOTTED LINES AS YOU CAN SEE DIRECTLY TO THE WEST EDGE OF THE SUBSTATION THE FLOODPLAIN AND DIPS DOWN ABOUT HALFWAY IN FRONT OF THE STATION , AND THEN IT RUNS ACROSS THE NORTH AND THEN THE ACTUAL NORTHEASTERN EDGE OF THE PROPERTY WILL BE OWNED BY RAYBURN. THE FLOODPLAIN ACTUALLY CUTS THROUGH THAT CORNER, WHERE THE WHERE THE WALL WILL BE LOCATED, SO IT'S PUSHED DOWN ON THE PROPERTY TO AVOID THAT FLOODPLAIN. THAT'S THE BIGGEST LIMITING PIECE ON WHERE IT CAN BE LOCATED AS THE ENTIRE NORTHERN HALF OF THAT PROPERTY IS IN THE FLOODPLAIN, BUT IF WE MOVED IT DOWN TO THE SOUTHWEST CORNER ON 75 THE ELEVATION IS GETTING UP AROUND 5 98 600 PROBABLY LIFTED OUT OF THE SUB OUT OF THE FLOOD ZONE ARE THERE AND THEY WOULD GO BACK UP TO THE NORTH AND BACK TO THE EAST AND LOOK AT ABOUT 5 87 5 86 SO. I'M JUST LOOKING AT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT I GET IT. THIS IS THE NORTH SIDE APPEARS TO BE IN THE FLOOD.

BUT IN THE SOUTH SIDE AS YOU COME DOWN OFF THE RAMP COMING BACK AND YOU GET THE RENT COMING UP 75, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST AN A LOCATION FOR RETAIL. I'M OUTSIDE THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX HERE UNDERSTOOD THAT WOULD ALSO BE OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY THAT WE OWN FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE STATION. YOU GUYS DON'T WE ONLY OWN TO THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE EXISTING TRANSMISSION LINE.

ALL OF THAT FRONTAGE ON 75 IS OWNED BY A PRIVATE LANDOWNER. ACQUIRED IT DECEMBER BEFORE HE CAME WITH YOUR ZONING FOR THE YES, SIR. THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. IT WAS YOU ONLY OWN THE SUBSTATION ITSELF. WE OWN THE WHAT THE GERMAN WAS REFERRING TO EARLIER AS THE BLACK DOTTED LINE. THAT COMES DOWN AROUND THE SCHOOL PROPERTY NORTH OF THE POLICY. I GOT IT. MESSAGE. AND THEN TO THE WEST SIDE OF THAT TRANSMISSION LINE. RIGHT THANK YOU. THAT'S THE ENTIRETY OF TOUCH THAT THAT'S OKAY. YOU'RE WELCOME TO USE IT. AND THEN THE OTHER THING WE SHOULD PROBABLY TALK ABOUT ABOUT THE LOCATION IS WHEN YOU BRING THAT TRANSMISSION LINE INTO THAT STATION, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME SPACE FROM THE EXISTING TRANSMISSION LINE. AS YOU HAVE TO TURN ALL THOSE WIRES AND BRING THEM INTO THE STATION. THERE HAS TO BE SOME PHYSICAL SEPARATION BETWEEN THE TWO. IT SHOULD TURN THOSE WIRES. YOU DROPPED THEM DOWN ON TWO STRUCTURES THAT WILL THEN FEED INTO THE EQUIPMENT THAT IS LOCATED. IN THE STATION. THAT'S WHY YOU SEE ALL THOSE PARALLEL LINES THERE IN THE STATION. THAT'S WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING THERE. I HAVE NO QUESTION TO THAT. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS STILL THE I HAVE NO IDEA WHY FURTHER SOUTH WASN'T EXPLORED.

CONSIDERING THAT THERE IS NO RESIDENTS FURTHER SOUTH AND THE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE LAND DOWN THERE BECAUSE HERE WE BOUGHT A BUNCH OF FLOODPLAIN WITH JUST ENOUGH OUTSIDE OF IT TO STICK A SUBSTATION RIGHT NEXT TO A PARK IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. ARE YOU REFERRING TO FURTHER SOUTH OFF OF THIS PROPERTY? YES, UNDERSTOOD. AGAIN. THAT WAS AN ISSUE THAT WAS DEALT WITH IN THAT CCN APPLICATION PRIOR TO, FRANKLY, OUR ROLE IN THIS CASE, I JUST THINK THAT C C C APPLICATION OR WHATEVER THE STATE LEVEL DOES. UM, IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING IN WHICH IT JUST MAGNIFIES THE LACK OF LOCAL CONTROL AND POWER BACK IN AUSTIN TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS WITHOUT REALLY FINDING OUT WHAT THE LOCAL INPUT IS. AND HERE, WE'RE GONNA GET MORE LOCAL INPUT, AND IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE CLEARER PROCESS THAN PROBABLY WHAT THE LETTER THEY RECEIVED. OTHER QUESTIONS. THE APPLICANT. YOU WANT. VERY GOOD. YEAH WE MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS WHEN WE WORK THROUGH THIS PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE IT. WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF CARDS. WE WILL START THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW. TO REITERATE WHEN YOU COME

[01:15:03]

UM YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS. AND YOUR, UH, YOUR IDEAS YOUR CONCERNS.

AGAIN WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. WE'LL GO THROUGH THESE CARDS FIRST IN THE ORDER THAT THEY WERE GIVEN TO ME IF THERE ARE OTHERS THAT WANT TO SPEAK WHEN YOU FINISHED, THE CARDS ARE CERTAINLY MORE THAN WELCOME. TO COME UP AT THAT TIME, SO LET'S GET STARTED. THE FIRST CARD IS FROM SAM STRIKER. I WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION, MR STRYKER CARTOON BORDERS. OKAY? A CARD.

SO SHE HAS A CAR TOO. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. OKAY I'M AGAIN AS THESE WERE HANDED IN. SO SAM STRIKER YOU, SAM STRIKER. OKAY, THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM. UM OKAY, WELL, AH! MY NAME IS SAM STRIKER. I'M AT 10 20 EVERS DRIVE AND I'M REQUESTING THAT NUMBER 23 0001 S U P THREE BE DENIED. IF YOU LOOK AT THE HANDOUT THAT I PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE ON PAGE ONE IS THE CURRENTLY PROPOSED LOCATION. WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TO GO OVER THAT. ON PAGE TWO. IT'S AN ALTERNATE LOCATION THAT ME AND ANOTHER PUBLIC ENGINEER PRIVATELY WENT OVER AND THERE WAS ANOTHER VIABLE OPTION THAT MOVES IT WEST OF THE TREE LINE. IT IS STILL ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE POWER LINES, AND IT'S STILL WITHIN ON COURSE OWNERSHIP. UM AND IF YOU GO TO PAGE THREE, WE CAN SEE THAT OBVIOUSLY, BLOOD PLANES ARE NOT AN ISSUE. UM OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPANIES.

OTHER CITIES OTHER COUNTIES HAVE BUILT ON FLOOD PLAINS. THERE'S PLENTY OF WAYS TO DO THAT, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PROOF THERE. UM AND THEN IF YOU GO TO PAGE FOUR THAT'S ALTERNATIVE OPTION B THAT WAS PUT ON THE RADAR OF EVERYBODY AT YOU KNOW, FOUR YEARS AGO. WHEN THIS WAS AN OPTION, AS THEY SAID, BUT, UM IT'S A THAT'S ONE THAT'S FURTHER SOUTH IS CLOSER TO WILMOTH ROAD.

UM AND THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR WITH THAT IS, THERE'S A LIMITATION ON THE ON THE WIRES THAT THOSE WIRES CAN ONLY HOLD 12. WE KNOW THAT'S CORRECT, BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION, WHICH WE HAD ANOTHER TOWER OR WE REPLACE THE EXISTING SIX TOWERS GOING SOUTH WITH ONE THAT CAN HOLD 24. WE KNOW THAT'S AN OPTION. UM AND SO, UH, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MAY 8TH MEETING THAT WE HAD ONE CONCERN TO US WAS, THEY SAID THEY WANTED TO DO THIS NEW ROAD GOING TO THE FRONTAGE, BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OTHER PHYSICAL PROOF THAT THEY ACTUALLY EVEN HAVE THAT, UM TO THEM, OR THAT THEY ARE EVEN APPROVED BY THE D O T TO DO THAT. UM THE OTHER THING THAT THEY STATED IS THAT YOU GUYS WERE WRONG AND THAT THE COMMITTEE WAS WRONG THAT WHEN Y'ALL SAID IT WASN'T A DONE DEAL WHEN WE ALL KNOW THAT IT, UM IT IS, IN FACT, NOT A DONE DEAL THAT WE CAN REJECT IT. UM AND WE KNOW THAT EVEN PER THAT MAY &-PT IS DENIED BY PLANNING AND ZONING AND BY THE BY THE COMMITTEE THAT IT WILL GO BACK TO AUSTIN, AND IT CAN GET REROUTED, AND THEY CAN CHOOSE ANOTHER LOCATION AND WORK WITH THE CITY. UM IT SEEMS LIKE ON COURT SHOWS THE EASIEST PLACE WITH REALLY LITTLE CONSIDERATION HERE. ALONG WITH THE STATE, AND WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR DEEPER CONSIDERATION AS TO WHERE THIS IS PLACED WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE COMMUNITY WITH THE SCHOOL AND WITH MCKINNEY OR CITIZENS AND TAXPAYERS IN MIND. UM I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT NOT A SINGLE COMMUNITY MEMBER WANTS THIS JEANS ABOUT TO SHOW YOU OVER 100 PEOPLE WHO VERY CLEARLY SAID THAT THEY DON'T WANT THIS. AH AND PECAN RICH ITSELF WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE OF THEIR CONVENIENT PLACEMENT OF THE SUBSTATION. NO ONE WAS MADE AWARE UNTIL THE WINDOW OF DECISION AND OPPORTUNITY WAS TO WAS TOO LATE FOR US. SO ALL I'M REQUESTING IS THAT WE DENY IT AND SO THAT WE CAN PUSH BACK AND HAVE IT PUT EITHER TO ALTERNATIVE OPTION A, WHICH IS ON THERE OR ALTERNATIVE OPTION B. STRIKER THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. OKAY. THE NEXT SPEAKER IS THOMAS PATTERSON. YOU COME TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE? I'M SORRY. I HAVE CHECKED ON THERE THAT I WASN'T GOING TO SPEAK. HI I'M THOMAS PATTERSON AT 11. 805 KIOWA. DR I WAS PART OF THE INITIAL PROCESS TO SELECT THE TRANSMISSION LINES. BUT THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY HERE WAS NOT SO THE ONE OF THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION LINE OPTIONS WAS TO GO UP THE OTHER SIDE OF BLOOMINGDALE. TO STOP SORT OF OUR COMMUNITY. SO THE PROBLEM WITH THE NOTIFICATION OF WHY THESE MEMBERS WEREN'T NOTIFIED. OF A SUBSTATION IS BECAUSE IT ONLY SHOWED A TAP OPTION. TAP OPTIONS A. THERE WAS NEVER A SUBSTATION ON THAT DRAWING ANYWHERE. NO BECAUSE I'VE BEEN

[01:20:01]

[01:25:02]

UM BUT SORRY, BUT I STILL HAVEN'T HANDLED SAYING IT WILL BE HORMONAL CHANGES BECAUSE IT'S 3 50 OR 403. I HAVE ANOTHER PROOF. THIS IS FOR MY CONNECTED LOCAL CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY SAID THAT THE ACT WOULD STICK THE SIGHTING OF ORDER. 3 40 GOING TO INTERRUPT YOU IF WE COULD GET YOU TO WRAP UP AND THEN WE DO WANT THE COPY OF THE HANDOUT. SO WHEN YOU WRAP UP SHARE THIS THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT CARD IS JEAN SOROKA. GINA APOLOGIZE IF I MISPRONOUNCE YOUR NAME. THANK YOU. I'M GONNA HAVE TO MOVE AROUND A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE SOME OF SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENTS BUT MY NAME IS JEAN STROKE AND I LIVE AT 8 12 0 SAGE DRIVE, AND I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ONCE AGAIN SPEAK BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. UM ALLOWING OUR VOICES TO BE HEARD CONCERNING. THE BUILDING OF THE SUBSTATION CLOSE TO PRESS ELEMENTARY IN THE CONCRETE ROAD BEHIND US AGE DRIVE, WHICH WOULD RUIN OUR GREENBELT, OUR NATURE AND OUR BACKYARD VIEWS. BASED UPON THE RECENT DISCUSSION HERE WITH THE RAYBURN ELECTRIC AND ON CORD APPEARS THAT POSSIBLY THEY MIGHT BE WILLING TO MOVE. THE ACCESS ROAD OVER 75 FRONTAGE FROM DR BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT SET IN STONE YET, SO THAT'S A POSITIVE. ENDEAVOR. UM YOU KNOW , THIS COMMUNITY WAS REALLY NEVER MADE AWARE OF THE IMPENDING CONSTRUCTION OF THE SUBSTATION AND THE ACCESS ROAD UNTIL RECENTLY, WHILE THEY HAD PROBABLY OVER TWO YEARS. AH TO PLAN THIS AND IMPLEMENTED WHICH IS KIND OF DISPARAGING A YOU'RE A RESIDENT, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT REALLY GIVING A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME. TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING, YOU KNOW, GET PEOPLE TOGETHER TO DISCUSS IT AND, YOU KNOW, TRY AND OPPOSES IF YOU'RE NOT IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH IT. UM DEFINITELY. WE DON'T WANT THE SUBSTATION AND YOU KNOW, SAM ALREADY SPOKE TO A POSSIBLE OTHER PROPOSED LOCATION THAT MIGHT WORK JUST AS EFFECTIVELY AND KEEP IT IN THAT LOCATION, WHICH I THINK IS A VIABLE OPTION. WHEN WE WENT OVER THERE TO LOOK AT THE LAND THE OTHER DAY. UM AND ALSO, UM, I KNOW WE PROTESTED. PREVIOUSLY BUT I HAVE A PETITION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT WITH CHAIRS OVER ABOUT 125 SIGNATURES FROM PEOPLE AND OUR DEVELOPMENT ALSO DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHILDREN THAT GO TO PRESS ELEMENTARY THAT OPPOSED US AS WELL. SO I WOULD HOPE YOU WOULD ACCEPT THIS. TAKE THAT. I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T INTERRUPT YOU. I'M GLAD I JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US ALL OF US TO SPEAK AND HAVE A VOICE. THANK YOU. PLEASE WE WILL TAKE YOUR DOCUMENTATION YOU HAVE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT CARD. JOE POWELL , 8 12 0 SAGE, MR POWELL. HI I'M JOE POWELL DAY. 12 OF SAGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING EVENING. MY TALKING POINTS HAVE CHANGED BECAUSE THE ROAD WILL NO LONGER BE IN THE GREEN BELT. THAT WAS ONE OF OUR MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS. SO LET'S MAKE SURE THAT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE AND THEY PUT THE ROAD BACK. I'M STILL OPPOSED TO THE SWITCHING STATION BEING NEXT TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. MY KIDS ARE GROWN. THEY'RE OUT OF SCHOOL, BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING 5 TO 12 YEAR OLDS RIGHT NEXT TO A SWITCHING STATION SPINNING SEVEN HOURS A DAY. I THINK IT'S A HEALTH CONCERN. AND PLUS, IT'S AN I STORE. THESE ARE 60 FT. TALL 380,000 VOLTS. WE DON'T WANT THE EYESORE. WE DON'T WANT OUR KIDS NEXT TO POWER STATION. YEAH THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS BESIDES OUR COMMUNITY, UM. I THINK ENCOURAGED, SPEAKING INCORRECTLY WHEN THEY SAY THAT THIS IS MANDATED. THEY'VE BEEN DEFEATED IN FRISCO. THEY'RE GOING TO BE BESIDE THAT JERRY JONES STADIUM. THEY GOT THAT MOVED IN 2019 FT AND PUT IT ON BLOOM. DALE, WE HAVE RECOURSE. WE DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE THIS, UM, TALKING ABOUT ENCORE. UM THEY MADE $900 MILLION LAST YEAR VERSUS 700 MILLION THE YEAR BEFORE THEIR CHAIRMAN. MAY $27 MILLION THIS YEAR. THEY'VE GOT DEEP POCKETS THEY CAN AFFORD.

BUYING LAND. IT'S NOT NEXT TO A SCHOOL OR FLOODPLAIN. AT A MINIMUM. THIS SHOULD BE PUSHED OVER TO 75. THEY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, BECAUSE IT'S MORE VALUABLE LAND, BUT THEY CAN SURE AFFORD IT AND THEY CAN GO ELSEWHERE. SO MY PRAYER GUYS IS THAT WE DON'T APPROVE THEIR SPECIAL USE PERMIT. WE DON'T IMPROVE THE REZONING AND WE DON'T WANT THAT ROAD BEHIND OUR GREEN BELT. WE ALL PAID PREMIUM DOLLARS FOR GREENBELT LOT. EVERYBODY ON EVEREST CENTER STAGE. AND THAT WOULD BE DEVALUE OUR LAND SO I'M GLAD THAT I CAN PUT THE ROAD THERE TO SWITCH THE

[01:30:02]

WE PICKED MCKINNEY. UNIQUE NATURE. MY DAUGHTER. MY DAUGHTER'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

AND SHE'S GOT ISSUES WITH THIS SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT WE PICKED THIS HOUSE WITH MY KIDS IN MIND. NOTHING'S REALLY HAPPENED FOR ME COMING DOWN HERE. BUT MY KIDS ARE THRIVING.

APPRECIATE. THE OPPORTUNITY. TO FOR Y'ALL TO HEAR US ALL OUT. I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT ON MY NEIGHBORS BECAUSE I'VE HEARD IT BEFORE, BUT I THOUGHT SINCE I STARTED THIS LAST TIME, I PUT A PUNCTUATION ON THE END OF IT. I AGAIN. I THINK I SPEAK FOR MY NEIGHBORS APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN HERE FROM YOU GUYS THE QUESTIONS THAT WHEN OUR RATTLING OFF WITH THESE WITH THESE GENTLEMEN IT GIVES US CONFIDENCE THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY BEING HEARD IN THIS AND THAT.

UNLIKE WHAT REALLY? THEY DID SAY THIS IS NOT A DONE DEAL. Y'ALL DO HAVE THE AUTHORITY OR WE WOULDN'T BE HERE TALKING ABOUT THIS. AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS LATELY. IS OUR GOVERNMENT TELLING US WHAT WE SHOULD DO AND WHERE WE SHOULD BE AND ALL THAT, AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING FOR US. IN THAT INCLUDES BIG CORPORATIONS. YOU KNOW THEY'RE THROWING OUT THINGS LEFT AND RIGHT, MAKE IT AS TRYING TO GET US THE BOTHER. DARN ELECTRICAL, YOU KNOW, ELECTRIC CARS IN TEXAS. NO. AND A MOVEMENT OF TRYING TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT STARTS AT THE LOWEST LEVELS AND I WAS SAYING Y'ALL ARE AT THE LOWEST LEVEL. BUT Y'ALL AT THE LEVEL HERE THAT THAT WERE AFFORDED TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL CAN MAKE A CHANGE ON THIS DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES TO THIS. WE WANT THE PART WE WANT. WE WANT TO HAVE THEIR SUBSTATION. JUST NOT PUT IT RUBS OUT OF SCHOOL. IT'S COMMON SENSE, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SO MANY GOVERNMENTS AND JUST PEOPLE IN GENERAL SEEM TO BE LOSING. THE GRASP OF IT IS COMMON SENSE. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD WOULD YOU WANT TO BUY A HOUSE RIGHT BESIDE A POWER STATION. NOBODY WOULD GUARANTEE THESE GENTLEMEN THEY WOULDN'T NOBODY WOULD AND THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING IS COMMON SENSE . THERE'S A SPOT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. THAT'S MORE THAN AMPLE ENOUGH FORM THE EASIEST THING FROM THE DO MY COSTUME A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY. BUT IT CAN BE DONE. AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR. TAKE IT AWAY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND LEAVE US TO OUR LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN THAT THAT WE ALL SOUGHT OUT IN BROTHER AND JOY. SO THAT AGAINST APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. APPRECIATE YOUR QUESTIONING, AND I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WILL. YEAH, WELL, HELP US OUT ON THIS ONE. THANK YOU TO GET A CARD FROM YOU. WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? WISH TO SPEAK TONIGHT?

MEET ALL THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS AND WE ARE ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED. QUESTIONS. OCEANS NO, SOMETHING IS GOING TO BE BUILT THERE ONE DAY, PROBABLY COMMERCIAL. BUT I DON'T LIKE IT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL, AND I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO THE NOW 23001 SCP THREE SECOND MOTION MENTION VOTE TO DENY THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT. FOR THIS ISSUE. P SECOND BY MR WHAT LEASE OR ANY DISCUSSION? I THINK WE'VE BUILT A PARK IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE'VE TOLD A LOT OF CHILDREN TO GO THERE. WE'VE INVITED HIM TO GO THERE WITH THE PARK. THIS IS NOT A USE THAT I WOULD AROUND CHILDREN, AND I THINK THERE'S POTENTIAL FOR OTHER OPTIONS RELATED TO THIS FOR THE SOUTH.

THE CITY AND THE ENGINEERS AND LAWYERS LATER FIGURE OUT THAT CAN'T THEN SO BE IT. BUT AT THIS POINT I WOULD VOTE TO KNOW. TO SAY THAT LAST AND LAST TIME WE HEARD THIS CASE, YOU KNOW, WE DID ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT ABOUT MOVING. MOVING THE SIDE NORTH OR WEST AND YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PROGRESS MADE ON THAT. THAT QUESTION. I DID A COMMISSION REMAINS EYES.

COMMENTS JUST DOESN'T BLOW NEXT. AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THOUGHTS AND PROCESSES, BUT IT JUST IN THE END, IT DOESN'T ROAD DOESN'T BOTHER ME AS MUCH THAT RESIDENTS REALLY THERE'S A TWO PRONGED PROCESS HERE AND IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING BILL. EVERY PROPERTY. WE DON'T NEED TO PUT A SUBSTATION NEXT TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. NO. MR CHAIRMAN. IF I MAY WE HAVE YES, RESPOND TO QUESTIONS. THE PROCESS THAT OCCURRED IN AUSTIN IN 2019 WAS ON THIS EXACT TOPIC WAS ON WHERE IT SHOULD BE LOCATED. AND JUST AS YOU HAVE HEARD SEVERAL PEOPLE VOICE OPPOSITION TO THIS LOCATION. THAT PROCESS IN 2019 WAS FULL OF PEOPLE MAKING THAT SAME CASE. AND THOSE SAME POINTS OF OPPOSITION TOWARDS THOSE OTHER LOCATIONS. I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN IS ALL OF THOSE ISSUES HEAD A TIME AND A PLACE WHERE THEY HAD TO DO PROCESS AND LITIGATED CASE BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION, TEXAS IN RECEIVING ALL THAT DATA AND ALL THOSE OPINIONS. THIS WAS THAT LOCATION, AND, UM. AND THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE'RE KIND OF STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND HARD PLACE. WE HAVE AN ORDER AFTER THAT PROCESS THAT TELLS US WHERE TO BUILD THAT LOCATION, HAVING HEARD ALL OF THE SAME CONCERNS FROM THE DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED THROUGH THAT PROCESS WITH THIS OUTCOME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. SO WE DO HAVE EMOTION AND WE HAVE SOME OF THE MOTION

[01:45:01]

I'M GOING TO KEEP IT SHORT HAS BEEN A LONG NIGHT, SIR. I'M SURE YOU CAN APPRECIATE THAT. BUT I DO WANT TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS AND I PROMISE TO KEEP IT SHORT AND ONE STAFF AT ALL LEVELS HAS BEEN DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB WITH US ON THESE PROPERTIES, AND IT'LL BE EVIDENT HERE IN A MOMENT WITH MY SECOND COMMENT. WE SHOULD ALL BE CELEBRATING MY FRIEND. MISTER WATLEY. ESPECIALLY YOU KNOW, MR COX, YOU GUYS HAVE ALL BEEN IN HERE FOR A LONG TIME, MR TAYLOR.

WE STARTED THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE GUINEA HOUSING AUTHORITY PROPERTIES SOME YEARS AGO. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD OF FOUR AND IN THE NEXT 60 TO 90 DAYS, WE WILL BE BRINGING THE FOURTH OF FOUR AS WELL. TO CONVERT. WHAT WAS ONCE I'M SURE A GOOD SOLUTION IN THE 19 FORTIES AND THE 19 FIFTIES. BUT TODAY THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE. THEY'RE THE PROJECTS. IT'S TIME THAT WE ALL CELEBRATE BECAUSE WE'RE DONE WITH THAT ERA. SO JUST LIKE WE DID NEWSOME JUST LIKE WE DID MERIT AND WE CREATED GOOD QUALITY HOUSING. FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE CITIZENS WERE HERE AGAIN. STAFFS DON'T

[01:50:01]

FORGET THEM. SO I'M GONNA KEEP CALLING THEM FITS YOU, COCKREL AND THROCKMORTON AND LLOYD OWENS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I KNEW HIM. BUT THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY, SO DON'T TAKE ANY QUESTIONS FROM YOU. THANK YOU, MR SANCHEZ. ANY QUESTIONS? HOW MUCH. THANK YOU, MARTIN. WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF CARDS WILL READ THOSE NAMES AND YOUR POSITION IF YOU HAVE GIVEN US ONE THIS WILL BE THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF THE AGENDA ITEM PURSE CARD IS FROM LEROY, SLIGHTING. I DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK. I AM IN SUPPORT OF THE OF THEIR REQUEST. THIS CARD IS DION TO BELL. DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK. BUT I AM IN SUPPORT. MAYBE THE BEST HANDWRITING I'VE EVER SEEN. MISS BELL. NEXT CARD IS ALISON MORAN , NOT THE BEST HANDWRITING. I DO WISH TO SPEAK, MR MORAN. HELLO MY NAME IS ALLISON MONROE. I ALMOST GOT IT RIGHT. TOMATO SIX BAKER STREET, MCKINNEY 750769.

SO I'M SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF THE UNITS. THERE'S A GREAT NEED FOR ATTAINABLE HOUSING IN MCKINNEY, AND IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO APPROVE ALL OF SUCH OPPORTUNITIES AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. AM I AREA MEDIA INCOME FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW IS THE MIDPOINT AREAS, INCOME DISTRIBUTION AND LOW INCOME IS CONSIDERED 50 TO 80 AM. I BET YOU'D BE SURPRISED AT LOW INCOME EQUATES TO HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF 50 TO $75,000 A YEAR. SO IN MY A C TEACHERS MAKE 65 TEACHERS AIDES AND SCHOOL SECRETARIES MAKE BETWEEN 24,000 TO $28,000 A YEAR. AVERAGE MARKET RENT IS $1800. YOU HAVE TO MAKE $26 AN HOUR TO AFFORD MARKET RATE RENT. AND MCKINNEY HAS A SHORTAGE OF 4000 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS FOR PEOPLE AT 50% AM I OR BELOW SO THIS HOUSING COMPLEX WILL PROVIDE 50 UNITS AND FOCUSES ON FAMILIES BETWEEN 30 60 AM I 50 IS IT JUST A DROP IN THE BUCKET WHEN IT COMES TO NEEDING 4000 UNITS? SO OF COURSE, THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WITH THE MASSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMING TO THE EAST SIDE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE THE AFFORDABILITY FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE THERE AND OUR NEIGHBORS FROM BEING DISPLACED. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO APPROVE THIS AND ALL THE SOLUTIONS THAT COME YOUR WAY THAT HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM SO THAT WE HAVE A VIBRANT CITY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
