[CALL TO ORDER]

[CONSENT ITEMS]

SO MOVED. SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION. AND A SECOND. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WATTLEY AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HAMMOCK. ANY FINAL DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

THE MOTION PASSES. THE. THE ITEM IS APPROVED AS A VOTE OF 7 TO 0. WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR REGULAR

[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 a High-Rise Telecommunication Structure and to Modify the Development Standards, Located at 4877 West University Drive]

[00:05:05]

SPECIFICALLY, THE CITY CANNOT MAKE LOCAL DECISIONS BASED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ON SUPPOSED. ENVIRONMENT OR HEALTH EFFECTS OF FREQUENCY EMISSIONS. WITH THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU. JAKE. YEAH. QUESTIONS OF STAFF. YEAH. JAKE, WHAT ARE THE OFFSET REQUIREMENTS FROM A RESIDENCE? SO THE I GUESS THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS MATCH WHAT WE HAVE IN THE UDC, WHICH IS EQUAL TO THE HEIGHT OF THE TOWER. HOWEVER, WE ARE TYING DOWN A LAYOUT WITH THIS REZONING. SO THIS IS THE ZONING EXHIBIT THAT'S UP ON THE SCREEN HERE. AND IT'S APPROXIMATELY 228FT FROM THE RESIDENTIAL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND THE CELL PHONE TOWERS TO BE HOW TALL? ONE. SO THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED HEIGHT IS 120FT AS OF RIGHT NOW. THAT'S WHAT I UNDERSTAND. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO BUILD TO. HOWEVER, I'LL DEFER TO THEM. OKAY. JAKE HAD A QUESTION, AND YOU MAY OR MAY NOT. DO YOU KNOW WHY THIS PARTICULAR SITE WAS CHOSEN, AS OPPOSED TO SOMEPLACE MORE COMMERCIAL? I MEAN, IS THERE A REASON WHY IT'S RIGHT HERE? YEAH. I'LL DEFER TO THE APPLICANT TO SEE IF THERE WERE OTHER SITES THAT WERE THAT WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? EXPLAIN THE ACT THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT PROHIBITS. THE INSTALLATION CLOSER, YOU KNOW, BASED ON ENVIRONMENTAL OR HEALTH CONCERNS? YEAH. SO THE YEAH. SORRY. SO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996 LISTS FIVE DIFFERENT KIND OF STATEMENTS THAT THAT CITIES OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CANNOT BASE THEIR EITHER APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF AN ITEM ON BASED ON THE COMMENTS THAT WERE THAT WERE SUBMITTED. I DID WANT TO GO AHEAD AND JUST STATE THAT NUMBER FIVE ON THE LIST IS THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MAY NOT MAKE LOCAL DECISIONS THAT ARE BASED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ON THE SUPPOSED ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND OR HEALTH EFFECTS OF RADIOFREQUENCY EMISSIONS, SO THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FOR THE DECISION TONIGHT OR COUNCIL. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU JAKE. THANK YOU. IF WE COULD GET THE APPLICANT UP, PLEASE. MR. CHAIRMAN, COMMISSIONERS, YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. MY NAME IS DAVID PREJEAN. REPRESENT SYNERGY, THE TOWER OWNER. AND MY ADDRESS IS SUITE IS 5600 WEST LOVER'S LANE, SUITE 116, DALLAS, 75209. THANK YOU. AND WE'RE HERE REPRESENTING THE TOWER. I THE PACKAGE THAT THE CITY HAD PUT TOGETHER WAS VERY COMPREHENSIVE.

I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GO THROUGH IT, AND THEY DID. AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE'S HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE INFORMATION THAT WAS IN THERE. IS IT AVAILABLE TO GO THROUGH IF WE NEED TO? THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE PACKAGE. OKAY. FIRST OF ALL, GREAT PACKAGE THAT

[00:10:04]

AND IT IS IT'S TYPICALLY WELL SUITED FOR BLENDING INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. WE DIDN'T LOOK IF ANYONE DIDN'T LOOK AT, I THOUGHT THE PROPAGATION MAPS WERE GOING TO BE SHOWN. THE PROPAGATION MAPS. CAN YOU PULL THOSE UP? YOU CAN SEE ON THE BASELINE CONFIGURATION OUR SITE IS THE SITE WITHOUT ANY RED AROUND IT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. AND WHEN THIS SITE IS TURNED ON, IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE HAVE ENHANCED COVERAGE THERE. THE SURROUNDING AREA, WITH ALL THE MEDICAL PRESENCE AND ESPECIALLY THE NEARBY SCOTT AND WHITE HOSPITAL COMPLEX.

RELIABLE CELL SERVICE IS CRITICAL TO THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND TO ALL THE MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN THE AREA, AND WE THINK THAT THIS SITE WILL PROVIDE A GREATLY ENHANCED COVERAGE FOR THAT AREA.

IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE PUBLIC SAFETY HEALTH ELEMENT. IT'S ESTIMATED THAT OVER 90% OF THE E911 CALLS. IT'S IT SAYS IN THE COUNTRY, BUT ALMOST IN THIS AREA FOR SURE ARE DONE THROUGH A CELL PHONE AND NOT A LANDLINE. SO EVERYONE DEPENDS ON THEIR PHONE. WHEN THEY HAVE A CRISIS, THEY'RE GOING TO PICK UP THEIR PHONE AND CALL 911. AND IT NEEDS TO. IT NEEDS TO WORK. FINALLY, I WILL MAKE A COMMENT. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996. THE ONLY THING I CAN REALLY TALK ABOUT ARE THE EMF EMISSIONS, OR THE MAGNETIC EMISSIONS THAT COME OFF OF THE ANTENNAS, AND THAT IS STRICTLY REGULATED BY THE FCC AND ALL CARRIERS, WHICH WE HOPE TO HAVE THREE CARRIERS ON OUR TOWER ARE ALL REGULATED BY THE FCC, AND THEIR ANTENNAS ARE ALWAYS WELL WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS. SO I THINK THAT'S ONE REASON WHY IT'S TYPICALLY NOT AN ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR US REGARDING THE TOWER. I KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT SOME. IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE THE TOWER TYPE IN THE PRESENTATION, I KNOW THAT IT'S AVAILABLE. THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE. SO IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE THE SLOTS THAT YOU SEE ON THERE, BUT IT WILL BE A LITTLE SLIMMER. AND AS IT GETS TO THE TOP, IT'LL STILL BE ENCASED. AND THAT'S WHERE THE THREE CARRIERS WILL FIT. ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT WILL BE MOUNTED DOWN BELOW ALONG THE BACK WALL OF THE PUBLIC STORAGE FACILITY.

WHAT'S THE DIAMETER OF THE POLE? I'M SORRY. WHAT'S THE DIAMETER OF THE POLE AT THE TOP WHERE THE CARRIERS ARE? IT'S 60IN. IT GETS A LITTLE SMALLER DOWN BELOW. AND THE ONLY REASON I CAN'T BE ENTIRELY SPECIFIC IS THAT WE DON'T ORDER THE SPECIFIC TOWER UNTIL WE GET OUR APPROVAL IN.

AND DRILL FOR THE SOILS. YOU KNOW, FOR OUR TOWER DESIGN. SO THE BASE OF THE TOWER ITSELF IS GOING TO BE PREDICATED ON THE DESIGN THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE. BUT UP TOP, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL BE 60IN. AND THAT'S REALLY ABOUT THE MINIMUM THAT MOST CARRIERS CAN GO IN AND STILL GET

[00:15:05]

WHERE DID YOU SAY THERE'S ANOTHER POLE SIMILAR TO THIS. I'LL BE HONEST I DON'T KNOW IN MCKINNEY. I KNOW THAT THAT MCKINNEY NOW HAS APPROVED SEVERAL OF THESE TYPE OF TOWERS IN THE GENERAL AREA, BUT I DON'T HAVE I DON'T HAVE A LOCATION IF ANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN BUILT YET.

WHAT WOULD THE UTILITY EASEMENT DISTANCE BE AT THE BASE? I'M SORRY. WOULD THERE BE LIKE A UTILITY EASEMENT AT THE BASE? SO WHAT WOULD THE BE? ALL THE UTILITIES WILL COME FROM INSIDE OF THE STORAGE FACILITY AND GO. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WIDE THE UTILITY EASEMENT WILL BE. WELL, WE TRY TO USE EXISTING UTILITY EASEMENTS. WE'LL HAVE FIBER AND POWER COMING IN THERE. AND WE TRY TO USE THOSE EASEMENTS AND THEN MAY HAVE TO JUMP FROM THE EASEMENT OVER TO OUR TOWER. AND THEN YOU MENTIONED IN TERMS OF LIKE FIRST RESPONDERS AND BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE. HOW FAR OF A RADIUS WILL THIS BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SERVICE TO KATIE BURNETT HERE WITH ME WITH SYNERGY TOWERS. AND I'M NOT AN RF EXPERT AND KATIE IS. AND SO I CAN BRING HIM UP HERE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF ACTUALLY HOW THAT PROPAGATION MAP IS GOING TO WORK. HI KATIE BURDETTE, ADDRESS OF 2301 ROMMEL AND ALEDO, TEXAS. THE. AS FAR AS THE COVERAGE RADIUS ON THIS ONE, BECAUSE OF THE INFLUX OF FOLKS TO NORTH TEXAS, THE COVERAGE RADIUS OF ALL OF OUR SITES ARE STARTING TO SHRINK. AND SO THE COVERAGE RADIUS OF THIS ONE IS REALLY FOCUSED AROUND THE LAKE FOREST.

380. THE BAYLOR SCOTT WHITE MEDICAL CENTER DOWN LAKE FOREST. SO YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT ABOUT A HALF MILE COVERAGE RADIUS FOR THIS BEING THE SERVING CELL. AND THE REASON BEING IS BECAUSE THE OTHER CELLS ARE OVERLOADED AND THEY'RE SHRINKING. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THAT. ANY MORE QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THIS ITEM DOES HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, AND WE'D LIKE TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. DOES ANYONE. DO WE HAVE A LIST OF PEOPLE WANTING TO SPEAK? KATIE BURNETT, WOULD YOU COME TO THE STAGE? OKAY. AND RICK MCDANIEL. GOOD EVENING. I'M RICK MCDANIEL, LIVE AT 1841 MEADOW RANCH ROAD IN MCKINNEY. MCKINNEY SINCE 2006. I LIVE IN MEADOW RANCH ESTATES. IF YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, THE PROPERTY IS ADJACENT TO THIS PROPOSED TOWER. LITERALLY. I'M THE THIRD HOUSE ON THE RIGHT, AND THIS TOWER IS LITERALLY AT THE BACK OF MY PROPERTY. LIKE YOU WALK OUT THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNSET THAT WE'VE ENJOYED FOR ALL THESE YEARS. NOW WE'LL HAVE A HUGE TOWER RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IS IMPORTANT, I UNDERSTAND. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT CORNERS TO 380 IN LAKE FOREST, AND THE CLOSEST ONE, THE ONLY ONE WITH PROXIMITY TO A RESIDENCE, A RESIDENTIAL AREA IS TO THE PROPOSED LOCATION FOR THIS TOWER. I HEARD A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT REALLY WEREN'T ANSWERED TONIGHT. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINAL VERSION OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE IN MY BACKYARD, ESSENTIALLY. THE FACT THAT ANY ONE OF US WOULD BE BLESSED ENOUGH TO HAVE A HOME THAT HAS TWO ACRES RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MCKINNEY THAT LITERALLY HAS NO BUSINESS AROUND US, EXCEPT FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF 380. THE WEST SIDE OF LAKE FOREST, AND A NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTH OF US.

I'M ALL FOR GREATER CELL COVERAGE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE HOSPITAL AND THE FIRST RESPONDERS NEED TO HAVE GREATER COVERAGE. MY ONLY ASK OF YOU IS THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER A DIFFERENT LOCATION, PERHAPS ON THE WEST SIDE OF LAKE FOREST, WHERE THERE ARE BUSINESSES THAT AREN'T LIVING THERE BEING SUBJECTED TO EMF 24 SEVEN, AND THAT YOU WOULD AT LEAST CONSIDER THE AREA BEHIND KROGER, WHICH HAS NOTHING BUT BUSINESSES BACK THERE RIGHT NOW. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT AREA, I BELIEVE, WOULD SERVE ALL OF THE AREAS THAT WERE MENTIONED IN THE

[00:20:02]

I LIVE AT 1830 MEADOW RANCH ROAD. I LIVE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM FROM RICK MCDANIEL.

MY PROPERTY, I BELIEVE, IS ABOUT 800FT, GIVE OR TAKE 50FT FROM THE PROPOSED LOCATION. AND MY COMMENTS ECHO RICK'S PRETTY MUCH. I'M NOT ANTI-TECHNOLOGY. I'VE BEEN IN THE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY FOR 40 YEARS. SEMICONDUCTORS, HIGH FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS, PHYSICS AND SUCH. SO I UNDERSTAND AND I ENCOURAGE THE EXPANSION OF CELLULAR COVERAGE IN MCKINNEY. I THINK IT IS NECESSARY, BUT THE LOCATION DOES BOTHER ME. IT BOTHERS ME SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PERSONALLY, FOR THE FOR THE POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES OF HIGH FREQUENCY 5G TOWER THAT CLOSE TO MY HOME AND EVEN CLOSER TO MY NEIGHBORS HOMES. AND WE CANNOT USE THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996 AS A GUIDE THAT WAS PASSED PRIOR TO 3G BEING IMPLEMENTED IN THE UNITED STATES, WHICH WAS STARTED IN EUROPE IN THE EARLY 1990S. THE UNITED STATES, LATE 1990S. 5G, WHERE WE'RE AT NOW, CAME INTO BEING IN IN 2019, WHICH IS 24GHZ. I DON'T I DON'T REMEMBER, BUT IT'S A IT'S A TREMENDOUSLY HIGHER FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL THAN 3G WAS. THESE HAVE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT HEALTH PROFILES THAT WE REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO AFFECT. WE NEED LONGITUDINAL STUDIES THAT ARE ALREADY BEING DONE, BUT WE NEED THE RESULTS OF THOSE STUDIES TO KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO IMPACT HEALTH. SO THAT'S WHAT WORRIES ME. BEING THAT CLOSE TO A 5G TOWER, WE JUST DON'T KNOW. AND THERE ARE STUDIES BEING DONE. SO THERE ARE LOCATIONS THAT WE CAN ALL SEE ON THE MAPS. IF WE LOOK AT THE GOOGLE MAPS, THE AREA BEHIND KROGER IS THE OBVIOUS ONE BECAUSE IT FITS RIGHT. STILL IN THE HEART OF THAT HEAT MAP THAT WAS SHOWN EARLIER. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF THERE'S A LOT OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AROUND THE AREA THAT'S NOT BEING USED, THAT'S NOT BEING UTILIZED. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WON'T BE BECAUSE IT'S LIKE BEHIND THE KROGER'S. NO ONE'S GOING TO BUILD A BUILDING BEHIND THE KROGER'S THAT EXPECT ANYONE TO COME TO. SO THESE KIND OF THESE KIND OF PROPERTIES ARE AROUND. WE JUST ASK THAT THOSE BE CONSIDERED AS BETTER LOCATIONS WITH LESS IMPACT ON ON THE ON THE RESIDENTS OF THE AREA. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR. RUTLEDGE. VINCENT. GUNN. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE HERE. I DID SEND A NOTE TO ALL YOU ALL THROUGH THE THROUGH THE WEBSITE, BUT I WANTED TO LOOK IN EACH OF YOUR EYES AND ASK YOU IF YOU ARE HEARING WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT THE INCREASE IN FREQUENCIES AND EMF RADIATION THAT COMES WITH 4G AND 5G. IF YOU WOULD WANT A 120 FOOT, FIVE FOOT MONOLITH STARING DOWN AT YOUR BACKYARD. MY HOME IS AT 1911 MEADOW RANCH ROAD. AND I HAVE A LITTLE MORE THAN 500FT BETWEEN ME AND THE BASE OF THAT TOWER. I DIDN'T DO THE MATH FOR WHERE THE RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING ANTENNAS WOULD BE, BUT I AM GREATLY CONCERNED. NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE EYESORE, BECAUSE I SHARE WITH MY COLLEAGUES. I'M VERY INTERESTED IN HAVING THE ABILITY TO CALL 911 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND GET IMMEDIATE COVERAGE, BECAUSE WE GOT RID OF OUR TELEPHONE HARD LINE LIKE MOST OF YOU DID. RIGHT? SO WE'RE ALL DEPENDENT ON CELL PHONES, AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FIRST RESPONDERS. THE HOSPITAL IS RIGHT ACROSS THE WAY FROM US. AND IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO THE HYPOTENUSE OF THE TRIANGLE AND JUST SWING THAT GOOGLE MAP OVER JUST A LITTLE BIT, YOU'D SEE THAT THE KROGER CENTER, WHICH IS LESS THAN IT, HAS NO RESIDENCE AREAS WITHIN 1500 FEET OF IT. AND ACCORDING TO THE NOTES THAT I SENT YOU ALL IN THE IN THE NATION OF INDIA, AS WELL AS A GERMAN STUDY REPORTED THREE TIMES NORMAL RATES FOR NEW CANCERS. WITH THE NEW THE NEW TECHNOLOGY AND THE CELL TOWERS BEING TOO CLOSE. THAT IS DOCUMENTED. SO I THINK SOME RESEARCH INTO THE AVAILABLE SCIENTIFIC DATA WOULD BE A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME AS FAR AS STEWARDSHIP OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO LOOK OUT FOR ALL OF US. AGAIN, WE'RE PRO-BUSINESS HERE IN MCKINNEY.

WE WANT THE GROWTH. WE WANT THE TAX INCOME AND ALL THE REST OF THAT STUFF. BUT WE ALSO WANT OUR

[00:25:02]

THE SCREEN IS WRONG. I DIDN'T SECOND THE ITEM. RUSSELL DID. WE'LL FIX THAT FOR YOU. OKAY.

YEAH. OKAY. DOCTOR LOBO, WILL YOU HIT YOUR BUTTON FOR THE VOTE, PLEASE? WHICH ONE? OKAY.

SORRY. WHICH ONE? I THOUGHT I PUSHED IT. YEAH. YOU DID. OKAY. THE MOTION PASSES. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED, AND A VOTE OF 6 TO 1. WAS JUST TO CLOSE. PUBLIC HEARING. YES. CORRECT.

ALL RIGHT. IS THERE SOME FURTHER DISCUSSION? I WAS SURPRISED AT THE. COULD WE GET 60IN FIVE FEET OWNER BACK UP FOR JUST A SECOND? THE APPLICANT. APPLICANT. THANK YOU. NOT THE OWNER. I'M SORRY. I WAS CONFUSED AT THE. IT'S FIVE FEET ACROSS THE FLAGPOLE IN CIRCUMFERENCE. YEAH. THE DIAMETER, THE DIAMETER. AND IT'S GOT THE PROBLEM WITH, LIKE I SAY WITH THESE IS GETTING ENOUGH ROOM TO GET THE ANTENNAS IN WHERE THEY CAN STILL PROVIDE THE TYPE OF COVERAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED. AND IT'S A LITTLE NARROWER AT THE BASE. YES. AND AGAIN, WE HAVEN'T ORDERED THIS SPECIFIC TOWER YET, BUT THAT IS AN ACCURATE DEPICTION OF IT. AND IT WILL ABOUT 40FT UP. I THINK.

KATIE, IS THAT WHAT WE. YES. SO THE FIRST 80FT WILL BE A SMALLER DIAMETER. THE WAY THAT IT'S DESIGNED NOW AND THEN THE TOP 40FT TO ACCOMMODATE THE THREE CARRIERS WILL BE EXPANDED A LITTLE BIT SO THAT THEY CAN FIT THEIR ANTENNAS ON THE INSIDE. OTHERWISE, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO ACCOMMODATE THREE CELLULAR CARRIERS IN THAT AMOUNT OF AREA. NOW, WHAT I'D ASK BEFORE WAS, HAS THIS DESIGN BEEN USED BEFORE? OH, YES. NOT JUST THE EXTERNAL, BUT THE INTERNAL DESIGN. OH, THESE TYPE OF TOWERS ARE NUMEROUS ALL ACROSS THE METROPLEX IN THE COUNTRY. I HAVE A THIS IS A VERY COMMON TYPE OF TOWER. IN FACT, IT WAS ACTUALLY APPROVED WHEN WE GOT THE CRAIG RANCH SITE APPROVED, OUR VERY FIRST TOWER THAT WE BROUGHT IN FOR APPROVAL AND WAS APPROVED BY PLANNING WAS THIS TYPE OF TOWER. AND BECAUSE WE BECAUSE IT IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED FOR THE CARRIERS WITH THIS TYPE OF TOWER AT THE CRAIG RANCH TOWER, WE ENDED UP BUILDING A THREE SIDED TOWER WITH ONE IN THE MIDDLE, WHICH IS MUCH LARGER AT ALL THE WAY UP.

IT'S MORE OF A BELL TOWER TYPE STRUCTURE. WHY IS THIS SITE CHOSEN INSTEAD OF KROGER OR BEHIND THE HOSPITAL? I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY. SO WE SORT OF COME IN WHEN THE CARRIERS HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OTHER POSSIBILITIES THAT THEY'VE TRIED TO FIND SOMETHING. AND WE DO HAVE A NICHE IN THE FACT THAT WE FOUND IT TYPICALLY ADVANTAGEOUS FOR EVERYONE TO GO INTO STORAGE FACILITIES. SO WE DID APPROACH THE STORAGE FACILITY AND WERE ABLE TO MAKE A DEAL. A LOT OF THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS, FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE BECAUSE OF WHERE WE NEED TO BE IN THE TYPE AREA THAT WE WANT, WANT MORE MONEY THAN WE CAN AFFORD TO PAY AND MAKE IT AN ECONOMICAL VENTURE.

[00:30:06]

THEY'RE NOT. YEAH. THERE YOU GO. WELL, NO, THAT'S NOT WHERE IT IS. WE'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

YEAH. YEAH. THERE YOU GO. IT'S DOWN AT THEM. DOWN AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER. YEAH. SO THAT'S THE AERIAL. AND THEN THIS WOULD BE KIND OF THE ZONING EXHIBIT FOR YOU. IT'S DOWN IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THAT BUILDING. AND THEN THAT'S A ZOOMED IN VERSION OF THAT WEST END OF THE PROPERTY. SO IF YOU KNOW WHERE THE COOK PEDIATRICS BUILDING IS, WE ACTUALLY ARE RIGHT NEXT TO THE DUMPSTER NEXT TO THEIR BUILDING. WE'RE ON THE FAR WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. WE'RE AS FAR AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL LINE AS WE COULD GET ON THAT TRACK. AND JAKE, DO YOU KNOW THE APPROXIMATE HEIGHT OF THOSE EXISTING STORAGE BUILDINGS? OFF CHANCE I'D HAVE TO LOOK. I THINK I THINK THE MAIN THE MULTI-STORY PRODUCT. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT'S BACK THERE. IF IT'S SINGLE. SINGLE? YEAH. SO SOME OF THOSE, I BELIEVE ARE AROUND THE 40 OR 50 FOOT HEIGHT RANGE. THE CURRENT PD DOES PERMIT 55FT, WHICH FOR BUILDING HEIGHT IS WHAT'S ALSO BEING PROPOSED IN THE NEW PD. OKAY. SO THEY ARE MULTI-STORY STRUCTURES THEN. I BELIEVE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE MULTI STORY. SOME OF THE EXTERIOR ONES ARE SINGLE STORY. OKAY. IT'S UP FRONT. THERE'S A MULTI STORY. AND THEN GOING ALONG BACK WHERE WE WRITE WHERE WE WRITE WHERE IT ENDS THERE. THE SINGLE STORIES. OKAY. AND THAT STORAGE FACILITY WAS THE SITE THAT'S JUST EAST OF THIS LOCATION. CORRECT. WE'RE ON THE STORAGE FACILITY. THIS.

WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE. THERE'S CAR STORAGE JUST TO THE EAST. THERE MAY BE ANOTHER ONE OVER THERE. WE'RE ON THE ADVANTAGE STORAGE FACILITY. OKAY. YEAH, THERE'S. THERE'S ANOTHER ONE TO THE EAST. SO THESE, YOU KNOW, THESE TOWERS ARE EVERYWHERE, LIKE YOU SAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY EXAMPLES OF SETBACK DISTANCES ELSEWHERE? WELL, I THINK IT'S FAIRLY STANDARD THAT THAT YOU SEE THE HEIGHT OF THE TOWER AS A SETBACK. FOR RESIDENTIAL, EVERY CITY AND MUNICIPALITY CAN SET THEIR OWN STANDARDS. IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR THAT TO BE SPECIFIC TO MCKINNEY AS OPPOSED TO DENTON OR THE CITY OF DALLAS. AND A LOT OF TIMES IT HAS TO DO THE SETBACKS HAVE TO DO WITH THE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY THAT YOU'RE ON, THAT YOU'RE PUTTING THE TOWER ON, AND THEN THE ADJACENT ZONING AROUND YOU. SO IN THIS ONE WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A TOWER FALL AWAY, I THINK WE'RE MORE THAN TWICE THAT AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL LINE. AND THOSE WERE THE REQUIREMENTS WHEN WE INITIALLY APPROACHED THE CITY OF MCKINNEY ON THIS, WE BROUGHT THEM OUR PLAN AND SAT DOWN. AND IN THE PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING, AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU DO THAT, IT'S HOW FEASIBLE, YOU KNOW, ARE WE DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN GET BEHIND AND SUPPORT AND IF YOU CAN SUPPORT IT, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO GET YOUR SUPPORT? AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE SOME OF THE LITERATURE THAT WAS PROVIDED, I THINK WE WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CITY, REFINING EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING 5 OR 6 TIMES EASY. I KNOW THAT THE CITY STAFF HATES TO SEE MY NAME COMING WHEN I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE CS PORTAL, BECAUSE I THINK I'M COMPUTER LITERATE, BUT IT'S CHALLENGING TO ME TO MAKE STUFF WORK ON THERE SOMETIMES. BUT WE WENT BACK AND FORTH 5 OR 6 TIMES, MAYBE EVEN MORE, NOT EVEN THROUGH THE PORTAL OR FINDING

[00:35:04]

I'M SORRY, BUT THE CITIZENS WERE NOTICED PROPERTY? YES. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SIR. DO WE NEED THE STAFF BACK UP? JAKE, CAN YOU COME BACK UP? SEEMS TO ME LIKE THAT'S A LOT OF VERY LARGE PROPERTIES ALONG THAT WAY. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY MOTIONS? I GUESS I'LL MAKE A COMMENT IN A MOTION THAT I. YOU KNOW, I KNOW THESE TOWERS WERE ARE ACROSS EVERY PROPERTIES EVERYWHERE. AND THERE'S PROBABLY PLENTY OF EXAMPLES OF PROPERTY OF TOWERS CLOSER TO, TO RESIDENCES THAN THIS EXAMPLE. AND, YOU KNOW, FOR THAT REASON, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BEUTNER AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WATTLEY TO APPROVE THIS ITEM.

240083Z. ANY FINAL DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. IT COMES UP.

THE MOTION PASSES AT A COUNT OF VOTE. COUNT OF 5 TO 2, AND WILL BE PASSED ON TO CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION ON APRIL 15TH, 2025. THANK YOU ALL. ALL RIGHT, NEXT, LET'S MOVE TO ITEM 240131Z

[00:45:01]

STUART. IF WE COULD GET THE APPLICANT UP FOR THIS ITEM. HELLO, MY NAME IS TRAVIS MONDOK.

I WORK FOR HRA. I AM THE CIVIL ENGINEER ON THE SITE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT TONIGHT. MY ADDRESS IS 5163 WILLOW BEND LANE. SEXY TEXAS 75048. ANY QUESTIONS OF TRAVIS? YEAH. ARE THERE. DO YOU KNOW IF THERE'S ANY EXISTING PLANS FOR THE PROPERTY AT THIS POINT IN TIME? WE HAVE SOME EXISTING PURPOSE USES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE INTENT FOR THE PROPERTY IS TO MAKE IT A RELIGIOUS TEMPLE FOR THE HARI KRISHNA MOVEMENT. OKAY. THANK YOU. HOW MANY ACRES IS THIS PROPERTY? IS IT TEN? JUST OVER TEN ACRES.

YEAH. SO, FACILITY WISE, SQUARE FOOTAGE WISE PARKING. SO AS FAR AS THE PARKING, I BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL ONLY BE A NEED FOR ABOUT 120 SPACES PER THE ARCHITECTURAL PLANS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, BUT WE'RE WELL OVER PARKED. THE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD LIKE AS MANY PARKING SPOTS ON THERE AS POSSIBLE. SO IF THIS IS TO BE A WORSHIP FACILITY, WHY THE C-1 ZONING THAT YOU'RE CSC ONE? SO THE RELIGIOUS ABILITY IS ON ALL ZONING. THIS CASE SPECIFICALLY, THERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC REQUESTS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS. THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN TO BE ABLE TO FEED THEIR ATTENDANTS AND THE PEOPLE THAT COME. THERE'S ALSO THE DESIRE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A DAYCARE COMPONENT FOR YOUNG KIDS PRIOR TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THEN I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE ALSO A PASTOR SERVICE.

ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ARE CONDUCTING THE WORSHIP SERVICE AND STUFF WILL LIVE ON SITE.

OKAY. STUART WILL THOSE USES LIKE THE DAYCARE AND THE COMMERCIAL KITCHENS WILL THOSE

[00:50:06]

PERMITTING OR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT OR SPECIAL USE PERMIT. SO IF THE IF THE INTENT IS FOR A RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY, THEN WE TYPICALLY VIEW A KITCHEN OR A SMALL RESTAURANT, AS WELL AS A DAYCARE AS ANCILLARY TO THE MAIN USE, WHICH WOULD BE THE RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY. OKAY. AND SO THEN THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED, SINCE RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY IS ALLOWED IN ALL OF OUR ZONING DISTRICTS. OKAY. AND STUART, WHAT ABOUT FOR THE HOUSING? A PASTORAL HOUSING SINCE YOU MENTIONED HOW WELL HOUSING FOR JUST THE PASTOR AND THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD WORK THERE WOULD, WOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED ANCILLARY TO THE RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY USE. OKAY. SO THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED UNDER THIS. CORRECT? THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT. THAT'S IT. GOOD QUESTIONS. ANYBODY ELSE? GINA? WELL, I WAS JUST THINKING. THINKING THROUGH LIKE. SO WHY ARE WE EVEN GOING THROUGH THE HAVING AN ANNEXED AND ZONED. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU COULD PUT THIS ON THE LAND AS IT SITS. IS THERE ANOTHER REASON WHY YOU'RE WANTING TO DO THEM? HAVE THE ANNEXATION AND THE ZONING? YES THERE IS. SO WHEN WE INITIALLY APPROACHED THE CITY ABOUT CONSTRUCTING WHAT WE WERE WANTING ON THE SITE, WE WERE ASKING FOR USES OF WATER. AND FOR THIS LOCATION, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO INSTALL A PUBLIC WATER WELL THAT WOULD NEED TO SUPPORT THE OVERALL SIZE OF THE FACILITY. WITH FIRE HYDRANTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. OKAY. EVERYBODY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. THIS ITEM DOES HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY REGISTERED TO SPEAK? IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ANYONE AT ALL WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE. IF WE COULD HAVE A MOTION. MOVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND THAT MOTION. IS THAT YOU, JAMES? ON SECOND. YES, SIR. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BUCKNER AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CRAIG TO CLOSE. DID YOU SAY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? THAT'S ALL. YES, SIR. OKAY. TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANY FINAL DISCUSSION ON CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING? OKAY. IF WE COULD BRING UP THE VOTE, COULD WE HAVE STAFF MEMBER CRAIG, WOULD YOU MIND HITTING THE MOTION BUTTON FOR A SECOND? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CAN WE BRING STAFF BACK UP? I HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION. BRING THE APPLICANT STAFF. JUST ONE QUESTION. SORRY. IN TERMS OF THE ANNEXATION PORTION OF THIS, HOW DOES THAT TIE IN EXACTLY? SO THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN OUR ETJ. SO THEY NEED TO ANNEX IN ORDER TO ZONE. HOWEVER, THE ANNEXATION GOES DIRECTLY INTO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT WILL GO TO CITY COUNCIL ON THE 13TH, ON THE 15TH OF APRIL. SORRY, 15TH OF APRIL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

OKAY. WE STILL HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THE ITEM IS APPROVED AT A VOTE COUNT OF 7 TO 0. AND THE MOTION WAS JUST TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. EXCUSE ME. I'M SORRY. OKAY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. DO WE HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PER STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS. SECOND. IS THAT EUGENA? YES. IT WAS.

SO MOSQUITOES OUR FIRST SITE THAT IS UNDER OPERATION AND WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER SITES UNDER CONSTRUCTION AS WELL. WAXAHACHIE IS ONE LOCATION AND GREENVILLE IS ONE OF OUR RECENT LOCATIONS. THAT'S ALSO UNDER CONSTRUCTION. OKAY. WHAT HAS BEEN THE EXPERIENCE WITH IN MESQUITE? ANY THINGS YOU HAD TO ANY WRINKLES TO IRON THROUGH OR. YEAH. TO BE HONEST, THE QUESTION HAS BEEN MORE LIKE WHY CAN WE NOT DELIVER QUICKER AND FURTHER AND FASTER? SO WE'RE SENSING A LOT OF DEMAND, WHICH IS REALLY EXCITING. WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT. THOSE ARE KIND OF THE MAIN, THE TWO MAIN GROUPS THAT WE WANT TO ENGAGE WITH AHEAD OF LAUNCHING. WE'VE ALSO DONE A TON OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME FULFILLMENT OPERATORS THAT ARE KIND OF BASED, THAT HAVE BEEN TABLING IN THE WALMART KIND OF PRESENT TO CUSTOMERS, EXPLAIN OUR TECHNOLOGY. BUT REALLY, WHAT'S BEEN GREAT TO SEE IS KIND OF THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT AND KIND OF HOW EXCITED THEY ARE ABOUT THE SERVICE AS WELL. AND IF Y'ALL HAD TALKS ALREADY WITH MCKINNEY, ARE Y'ALL WAITING FOR THE ZONING TO? YEAH, WE'VE HAD SOME INITIAL TALKS, AND WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE SOME MORE FOLLOW UPS AS WELL. YEAH, WE ASKED LAST TIME ABOUT THE PAYLOAD AND I THINK IT WAS 8 POUNDS. THAT'S CORRECT. YEP. AND YOU DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT GOING UP INCREASING. NO NOT NOT NOT ANYTIME SOON. I THINK WE ALSO ASKED ABOUT WHETHER AND I DON'T RECALL ARE THERE WEATHER RESTRICTIONS OR. YEAH. GOOD QUESTION. AND OBVIOUSLY WE UNDERSTAND THE WEATHER IN TEXAS IS CAN BE QUITE INTENSE. SO WE ARE ABLE TO FLY IN HEAVY REALLY STRONG WINDS, HEAVY PRECIPITATION EVEN LIGHT ICING. AND I THINK I MAY HAVE MENTIONED WE HAVE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TEST SITES ACROSS THE US. WE'VE GOT ONE RANCH IN WYOMING WHERE THEY'RE TESTING RIGHT NOW IN SOME PRETTY CRAZY CONDITIONS. I ACTUALLY SAW A DELIVERY RECENTLY THAT WE'RE MAKING IN THE SNOW, LIKE WHILE IT WAS SNOWING. SO WE'RE ABLE TO DELIVER IN QUITE A RANGE OF CONDITIONS. THAT SAID, ALTHOUGH THE DRONES AUTONOMOUS, WE DO HAVE 24 OVER SEVEN KIND OF REMOTE OPERATION CONTROL CENTER THAT KEEPS AN EYE ON THE WEATHER. WE'RE CONSTANTLY MONITORING WEATHER TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS SAFE TO FLY. THANK YOU. REMIND ME AGAIN ABOUT THE SOUND, THE DECIBEL OF THE SOUND, I GUESS. DOES THIS CLICKER WORK? IT DOES. THANK YOU. LET ME JUMP FORWARD TO OUR SOUND. YES. SO IN TERMS OF THE SOUND, THERE'S KIND OF THREE MAIN THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE TO BLEND INTO THE BACKGROUND OF EVERYDAY LIVES. THERE'S FIRST OF ALL, THAT TWO PART ARCHITECTURE. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THE LARGER AIRCRAFT THAT STAYS HIGH UP AND THEN THE SMALLER DROID COMES DOWN TO MAKE THAT DELIVERY. AND THEN WE'VE ALSO OPTIMIZED THE SOUND OF THE PROPELLERS SO THAT IT SOUNDS SOMETHING MORE LIKE A FAN IF YOU WANT. AND THEN LASTLY, WE RANDOMIZE OUR FLIGHT PATTERNS SO WE'RE NOT CONTINUALLY REPEATING THE SAME FLIGHT PATTERNS OR THE SAME COMMUNITIES. ALL THAT TO SAY, THIS DATA KIND OF SHOWS WHERE WE'RE AT IN TERMS OF DECIBEL LEVELS AND WHETHER WE'RE DOCKING OR DELIVERING AT A CUSTOMER SITE WITH SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 53 TO 60DB, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY SYNONYMOUS TO KIND OF CAR TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 300FT.

AND ACTUALLY, LET ME SEE IF I'M NOT SURE IF AUDIO WILL WORK, BUT I HAVE I ADDED THIS SLIDE AS WELL. LET'S SEE IF THAT PLAYS. IT'S NOT PLAYING. NO PROBLEM. YEAH. WELL THAT'S THAT'S THE DATA THAT WE HAVE THAT I CAN SHARE KIND OF ON SOUND TO DATE. I WAS ACTUALLY AT OUR TEST SITE, ONE OF OUR TEST SITES. WE HAVE A RANCH UP IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND THEY WERE MAKING DELIVERIES KIND OF ALL AROUND. AND I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW QUIET IT WAS. IT TRULY IS DESIGNED TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS SEAMLESS AND THAT YOU KIND OF CAN BARELY NOTICE WITH PASSING TRAFFIC. AND THEN ALSO THE DELIVERY POINT THAT'S TOUCHLESS. SORRY. CAN YOU REPEAT THAT QUESTION? THE DELIVERY POINT. SO WHEN THE OTHER PORTION DROPS FROM THE DRONE I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH IS THE DROID. THANK YOU. JESSE. THE DROID. THEN THE CONSUMER WHO'S RECEIVING THEIR DELIVERY. THEY DON'T HAVE TO TOUCH OR OPEN ANYTHING AT ALL. IT'S ALL TOUCHLESS. CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. YEP. AND I'M NOT SURE IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY TO MAKE THIS PLAY. MAYBE I HAVE ANOTHER IMAGE THAT SHOWS IT. NO, IT'S NOT WORKING. BUT YEAH, ESSENTIALLY WHEN THE WHEN THE DROID COMES DOWN, YOU CAN ACTUALLY KIND OF SEE ON THIS RENDERING, IT HAS LITTLE DOORS ON THE BOTTOM OF IT. SO WHEN IT, WHEN IT HITS THE GROUND, THOSE DOORS OPEN AND A PACKAGE COMES OUT. AND SO IT REALLY GRAVITY IS WHAT KEEPS THE PACKAGE ON THE GROUND. AND THEN THE DROID COMES BACK UP. OKAY. SO YEAH THERE'S NO THAT WAS IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY THAT WE DIDN'T WANT KIND OF ANYBODY TO HAVE TO TOUCH IT TO, TO RECEIVE THE PACKAGE. ANYBODY ELSE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. THIS ITEM DOES HAVE A PUBLIC
