[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Petition to Annex (Case No. 25-0008A) and a Request to Zone (Case No. 25-0099Z) the Subject Property to “MR” - Mixed Residential District, Located on the North Side of Bloomdale Road and Approximately 540 Feet West of FM 1461, and Accompanying Ordinance(s)]

APPROVED. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO THOSE ITEMS THAT HAVE A HEARING, A PUBLIC HEARING COMPONENT TO THEM. THE FIRST ITEM IS 250099Z. AND ITEM 250008A. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A PETITION TO ANNEX AND ZONE A PROPERTY FROM TO. MR. THIS IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BLOOMINGDALE ROAD, 540FT WEST OF FM 1461. MR. REILLY THANK YOU. MAYOR, COUNCIL, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME HERE AND PRESENT SEVERAL CASES TONIGHT.

THE FIRST BEING A ANNEXATION AND ZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 11.23 ACRES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BLOOMDALE ROAD, WHICH IS OUR MIND YOU ALL THE FUTURE 380 BYPASS. THE PROPOSED ZONING IS MIXED RESIDENTIAL. THE REQUEST INCLUDES VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION FROM THE ETJ CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW AND ALL OF OUR EXISTING PROCEDURES. THE SERVICE PLAN IS STANDARD AND THERE ARE NO INCENTIVES ASIDE FROM OUR STANDARD PROCESS FOR ANNEXATION. WITH THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY. THE PROPOSED LAND USE IS MIXED RESIDENTIAL, WITH A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CURRENTLY OF TOWNHOMES. AND NOW THAT I'M LOOKING AROUND, WE DON'T HAVE THE CLICKER, RIGHT? SORRY ABOUT THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. JUST TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER IDEA OF WHERE THE LOCATION IS AGAIN, BLOOMDALE IS FUTURE 380 BYPASS, WHICH IS A FULL INTERSTATE 400 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY. AND SO THIS PROPOSAL OF MIXED RESIDENTIAL DOES ALIGN WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLING FOR THIS FUTURE INTERSECTION TO HAVE A HIGHER INTENSITY OF USES, A COMMERCIAL CENTER. AND WE FEEL THAT THE HIGHER DENSITY OF RESIDENTIAL USES SURROUNDING THAT COMMERCIAL CENTER WILL HELP TO FEATHER THE DEVELOPMENT FROM A MORE HIGH INTENSITY USE BACK INTO PROPOSED OR EXCUSE ME, POTENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY. IN THE FUTURE, I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND OUR APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE. LET ME SEE IF WE DO HAVE. ANOTHER PRESENTATION. I BELIEVE THAT THE COUNCIL OKAY. THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT GIVES SOME MORE CONTEXT TO WHAT THEIR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL LOOK LIKE. THANK YOU, MR. REILLY.

ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FROM STAFF? ALL RIGHT. YOU SAID OUR APPLICANT IS HERE. YES. OKAY.

[00:15:04]

KEVIN PATEL, TRIANGLE ENGINEERING, 1782 WEST MACDERMOTT DRIVE, ALLEN, TEXAS, 75013. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME. WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING HERE IS BASICALLY A 65 HOME, 65 UNIT TOWNHOME PROJECT. AND I HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION HERE. ALLOW US A FEW SECONDS RIGHT THERE. SO THIS IS A SITE PLAN AS WELL AS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. WE HAVE THE DETENTION POND LOCATED AT NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY. WE ARE IMMUNIZING THE DETENTION AREA FOR THE USE OF RESIDENTS. THEY CAN WALK AROUND THAT POND AS WELL AS WE HAVE A EV PARKING SPACE DEDICATED FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. WE'LL HAVE A TWO CAR GARAGE AS WELL AS TWO CAR LOCATED TO PARK ON THE DRIVEWAY. SO WE ARE I BELIEVE, WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PARKING REQUIREMENT AS WELL. OUR DRIVERS ARE ALIGNED, ALIGNED WITH THE TEX DOT FUTURE 380 BYPASS. THIS IS KIND OF A ZOOMED IN VERSION OF THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. IF YOU LOOK AT THE NORTH NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS KIND OF TOP LEFT HAND CORNER, WE HAVE PLENTY OF LANDSCAPE SCREEN AS WELL AS A LITTLE BIT OF LANDSCAPE FEATURE WALL AROUND THE DETENTION POND AS WELL. THESE ARE THE TYPICAL RENDERING FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S KIND OF A MODERN LOOKING DEVELOPMENT. FITS RIGHT INTO THE THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION. THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND THIS IS A 3D ANIMATION. IF I CAN TURN IT ON SOMEHOW. CAN WE TURN ON THAT? YEAH. THERE YOU GO.

10S. I APOLOGIZE, IT'S A LITTLE BIT LONGER, BUT IT'S JUST A 3D ANIMATION WE CREATED FOR THIS PROJECT.

ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS ON THE VIDEO OR ANYONE HAVE KIND OF A SENSE OF WHAT WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS? YEAH. IF YOU NEED ANOTHER TWO MINUTES AND 35 SECONDS, WE CAN.

GOOD. MR. NO, WE'RE GOOD, WE'RE GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. THAT'S A GOOD LOOKING TO ANSWER. ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. ARE THESE FOR RENT OR FOR PURCHASE. PURCHASE FOR PURCHASE. VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD. YEAH OKAY OKAY. THANK YOU.

PERFECT. OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT, ANYONE? THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I HAVE A DEVELOPER HERE AS WELL. HE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR A FEW MINUTES, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS OLA SIRIKI. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF OFFICE. WE'RE THE DEVELOPERS OF THE PROJECT, AND I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY THANKS AND APPRECIATION TO THE COUNCIL AND LOOK FORWARD TO PUTTING UP THIS PROJECT IN MCKINNEY. IT'S OUR FIRST PROJECT IN MCKINNEY, AND WE HOPE IT WON'T BE THE LAST, BUT WE'LL MAKE IT AN EXEMPLARY PROJECT IN TERMS OF QUALITY AND FINISHING, AND WE HOPE IT WILL ENHANCE THE ENVIRONMENT. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THIS IS A AN ITEM WITH A PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU'VE COME TONIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THIS

[00:20:04]

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE. I'D LIKE TO MAKE THEM. WE DO HAVE SPEAKER. YES. OH, OKAY. THERE WE GO. WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF SPEAKERS.

FIRST IS JOHN KING, JOHN KING. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JOHN KING. I LIVE AT 5513 BAXTER ROAD IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. I WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER AND OF ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM AS WELL THAT'S CONNECTED TO THIS ONE IN REGARDS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA. THE BIG REASON THAT I STAND IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT IS BECAUSE I SEE IT AS EXCESSIVE AND COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. IT IS DESCRIBED AS BEING DONE TO MEET THE HOUSING DEMANDS THAT ARE GROWING IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S A QUITE SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF HOUSING AND RESIDENCES, BOTH FOR RENT AND FOR PURCHASE, THAT ARE WITHIN THE AREA, MANY OF THEM WITHIN HALF A MILE OF IT, FOR EXAMPLE, HALF A MILE TO THE SOUTH OF THIS PLANNED ANNEXATION AND DEVELOPMENT, THERE IS ANOTHER APARTMENT GROUP THAT DEVELOPED CALLED PAINTED WOODS, WHICH INVOLVES BOTH THE VILLAGE AND THE THE VILLAGE, THE VILLAGE AND THE WOODLAND DISTRICT, WHICH IS TWO SEPARATE ONES, AND BOTH OF THESE HAVE THE WOODLAND DISTRICT COMPLETED IN 2021 AND THE. THE VILLAGE DISTRICT WILL BE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND IS GOING TO BE PROJECTED COMPLETION SOMETIME DURING THE YEAR OF 2026. ABOUT ALSO HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD SOUTH AS WELL, IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF HEATHERWOOD, AND HEATHERWOOD HAS A NUMBER OF LISTING OF HOMES THAT ARE NOT ONLY NEW, BUT SOME THAT ARE ALSO ON THE MARKET THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR MONTHS OR MORE AT A TIME. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IF YOU LOOK TWO AND A HALF MILES TO THE EAST, YOU ALSO HAVE ANOTHER APARTMENT COMPLEX CALLED THE MANSIONS OF PROSPER, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS COMPLETED AROUND 2022, WHICH HAS 450 UNITS TOTAL. MOST OF THESE ARE EASILY ACCESSIBLE WITHIN THE SAME AREA, AND MANY OF THEM ARE NOT FULL DESPITE THEIR COMPLETION. YOU ALSO HAVE ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION CALLED HIGHLAND LAKES, AGAIN, HALF A MILE TO THE WEST OF THIS LOCATION AND STILL NOT FULL. IT HAS AVAILABILITY AS WELL. THE BIG QUESTION I ASK IS WHAT STRIKES THEM AS NECESSARY TO BUILD THIS PARTICULAR COMPLEX FOR I GUESS IT'S CALLED LUXURY TOWNHOMES. WHEN THERE'S SO MUCH CONSTRUCTION THAT'S ALREADY UNDERGONE HERE. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IS THAT IN ORDER TO PROCEED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION THAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY WOULD HAVE TO ANNEX THIS LOCATION, WHICH I BELIEVE IS CURRENTLY UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF COLLIN COUNTY. SO WITH ALL OF THAT, IT ALSO MEANS THAT ANY SORT OF FUTURE MAINTENANCE, WHETHER IT BE SANITATION, ROADS, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT DON'T FALL UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE DEVELOPER WILL NEED TO BE MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, WHICH WILL BE NEW RESPONSIBILITIES IN ADDITION TO THE ALREADY SUBSTANTIAL ONES THAT MANY OF YOU OVERSEE ON A DAILY BASIS. ALL OF THIS TO SAY THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT ONLY NECESSARY, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS ALSO EXCESSIVE. IT WON'T PROVIDE A SERIOUS BENEFIT. AND NOT ONLY THAT, IT WOULD COME AS A SIGNIFICANT NET DRAIN ON THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AS WELL. THAT I ASK THAT THE MOTION NOT BE PASSED, NOT ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF US, THAT RESIDENTS, BUT FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AND ITS FUTURE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. KING. APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE VERY MUCH. NEXT, SPEAKER RAUL SOLIS. MR. SOLIS.

HOW YOU DOING? I'M RAUL SOLIS. I LIVE AT FIVE FIVE, ONE THREE BAXTER WELLS ROAD. ACTUALLY, I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS ON THERE. I WAS TRYING TO SPEAK TO ANOTHER ONE AS WELL, BUT IT KIND OF COINCIDES WITH THE SAME. ALL RIGHT. IT SAYS I'M HERE BECAUSE I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT OUR OUR COMMUNITY. ITS LAND, ITS SAFE AND ITS FUTURE. WE LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY AREA FOR A REASON. WE VALUE THE SPACE, THE QUIET, THE WILDLIFE, THE RURAL CHARACTER THAT MAKES THIS PLACE FEEL LIKE HOME. NOW THAT CHARACTER IS AT RISK. THE PROPOSED LOW INCOME

[00:25:06]

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IS SIMPLY NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS LOCATION. THIS ISN'T ABOUT WHO MIGHT LIVE THERE. IT'S WHETHER IT'S IT'S ABOUT THE LAND, THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THIS COMMUNITY CANNOT SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AT THIS SIZE. OUR ROADS ARE NOT OUR ROADS ARE NOT BUILT FOR THIS HIGH DENSITY HOUSING EMERGENCY SERVICES, UTILITY WATER SYSTEMS. THE RURAL AREA IS NOT IT'S NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS. LARGE SCALE RESIDENCY COMPLEX. AND ONCE, ONCE OPEN LAND IS GONE, IT'S GONE FOREVER. IT'S REPLACED WITH TRAFFIC NOISE, STRAIN OF DRIVING. WE ARE NOT WE ARE NOT AGAINST THE GROWTH OF MCKINNEY. OR HELPING FAMILIES IN NEED OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS. BUT GROWTH MUST BE RESPONSIBLE, WELL-PLANNED AND PLACED IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY THAT HAS INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORTED TO SUPPORT IT. THIS PROJECT DOESN'T. WE ARE ASKING YOU AS OUR LEADERS TO PROTECT THE CHARACTER OF WHERE WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY, TO RESPECT LIMITATIONS OF OUR RURAL STRUCTURE, TO MAKE THE DECISION TO REFLECT LONG TERM PLANNING RATHER THAN SHORT TERM PRESSURE AND DEVELOPMENT. THIS DEVELOPMENT IS NOT RIGHT PROJECT FOR THIS LOCATION. WE URGE YOU TO REJECT IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. SWALLOWS. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, ORLANDO ORTEGA. YEAH. MR. HELLO.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I'M ORLANDO ORTEGA, I'M AT THE CORNER OF BAXTER. WELL IN LAKE FOREST. I ALSO I DIDN'T REALIZE I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT PUTTING THE CORRECT NUMBER IN THERE, BUT I WANT TO RATHER SPEAK ON THE AGENDA. NUMBER 2501250250012AI THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE OF US WANTING TO PROTEST THAT. THAT'S MORE IN RELATION TO BAXTER. WELL, ROAD IF THAT'S OKAY. THIS WAY WE CAN KEEP KEEP ON GOING BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT'S GOING TO BE VERY REDUNDANT. YEAH. WELL YOU'VE SIGNED UP FOR THIS ONE. YOU CERTAINLY CAN SIGN UP FOR THE THAT'S THE NEXT ITEM THAT'S ON OUR AGENDA. SO I'LL DO THAT. YEAH. OKAY. YOU WANT TO IF YOU WANT TO HOLD YOUR COMMENTS UNTIL THE NEXT ONE. YOU CERTAINLY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. NEXT.

MORGAN. RIZZO. NO. OKAY. WELL, WE'LL COME BACK. YEAH. SPEAK. OKAY. AND THEN WE HAVE A CARD FROM DANIEL AND MORGAN. RIZZO IN OPPOSITION. MORGAN WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, SO WHEN SHE COMES BACK, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S FOR THE NEXT ITEM AS WELL. MISS ARNOLD. RIGHT. OKAY. NEXT SPEAKER, SANDRA ORTEGA, THE KING. MISS KING. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, I APPRECIATE IT. I LIVE ON BAXTER. WELL, I WASN'T PREPARED TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ONE, BUT I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT THIS ONE IS THE ONE I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS IS THE ROAD. IT CANNOT HANDLE ANY MORE TRAFFIC. IF YOU'VE BEEN DOWN 1461 AND BLOOMDALE ROAD AND BAXTER WELL, AND ANY OF THE OTHER SMALL STREETS THERE, IT'S A TWO LANE, IT'S ONLY TWO LANES AND YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN, WELL, NOT PEDESTRIANS, BUT YOU HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC OF PEOPLE GOING TO WORK ON 1461. AND SOMETIMES IT IS ALMOST RIDICULOUS TRYING TO GET OUT OF BAXTER WELL ROAD, WHICH IS LIKE A CAR AND A HALF ROAD. IT'S NOT A FULL TWO LANE.

IT USED TO BE A DIRT ROAD. OF COURSE YOU CAN TRY AND GO DOWN. WHAT'S THE OTHER ONE CALLED

[00:30:05]

ANYWAY? THE OTHER ROAD, AND IT'S JUST AS CONGESTED. AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING THE BYPASS. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE PUT MORE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD THERE. SO WE ALSO HAVE THE BUS DRIVERS. AND I WISH WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN A BUS DRIVER TO COME UP HERE TO LET YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR THEM TO TURN ON 1461, WHICH IS LAKE FOREST, ONTO BAXTER WELL, OR TO EVEN GET OUT OF BAXTER. WELL, IT IS VERY HARD FOR THEM TO DO THAT. SO AS FAR AS THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE TRAFFIC, IT IS NOT FEASIBLE. IT'S NOT EVEN LOGICAL TO BE PUTTING MORE PEOPLE IN THIS AREA WHEN SOUTH OF US OF BLOOMDALE HASN'T EVEN BEEN FILLED. YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF VACANT HOMES, A LOT OF VACANT APARTMENTS STILL. SO I UNDERSTAND WE'RE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO PREPARE THE ROADS BEFORE WE GO TO THE FUTURE. AND IF NOT, WE'RE GOING TO BE LIKE HIGHWAY 75, CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU.

MORGAN RIZZO. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. I'M MORGAN RIZZO. RIZZO OF 5859 BAXTER. WELL, I AGREE WITH A LOT OF WHAT HAS BEEN SAID TONIGHT. WE MOVED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID TO FIVE ACRES. WE HAVE EIGHT KIDS WHO ENJOY OUR FIVE ACRES. WE LOVE THE LAND. WE LOVE TO BE ABLE TO RUN AROUND. MCKINNEY IS CALLED UNIQUE BY NATURE, AND WE WATCH THE NATURE BE BULLDOZED DOWN AND APARTMENTS PUT UP AROUND EVERY CORNER. OUR KIDS ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE LAND TO RUN ON.

OUR DOGS ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE LAND TO RUN ON TO THE TO THE WEST SIDE OF OUR ROAD. I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE 1500 HOUSES PUT IN EVENTUALLY. WE'RE ALREADY LOSING ALL OF THAT LAND.

THE TREES ARE COMING DOWN EVERY TIME WE COME DOWN OUR ROAD. THERE'S MORE RED TAPE ON OUR TREES. AND SO I JUST, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE ALL THE STATISTICS, BUT I URGE YOU TO TO THINK ABOUT OUR FAMILIES OUT THERE. WE MOVED TO THE ETJ FOR A REASON. SO MANY OF US, WE WANTED THE FREEDOM OF SOME LAND AND SOME FRESH AIR, AND TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CITY, TO BE ABLE TO UNWIND, FOR OUR KIDS, TO BE ABLE TO RUN AND PLAY. AND IF IT SLOWLY GETS TAKEN AWAY LIKE IT IS, IF ALL THESE NEIGHBORHOODS KEEP MOVING IN, WE WON'T HAVE THAT ANYMORE. SO I JUST URGE YOU TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, AND I WOULD ASK YOU TO VOTE THESE DOWN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS RIZZO. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I DO HAVE A MOTION TO. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MR. MAYOR, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL, INCLUDING A TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM FELTZ. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION IS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF, IF YOU DON'T MIND, MR. MAYOR, IF LUCAS COULD COME BACK UP. LUCAS, I KNOW YOU WORK FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, BUT TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE. AND MISS ARNOLD CAN ANSWER THIS, TOO. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT IS PROHIBITING THE DEVELOPER OF THIS ITEM FROM BUILDING IN THE ETJ RIGHT NOW? UTILITY SERVICE, UTILITY SERVICE WOULD BE THE ONLY THING. SO. AND THAT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY PROHIBIT THEM. IT MIGHT GIVE THEM A, YOU KNOW, SOME, SOME, SOME PAIN POINTS WITH UTILITY SERVICE, BUT THEORETICALLY THEY COULD BUILD THIS IN THE ETJ. IS THAT FAIR TO SAY. THEY COULD BUILD A LOT OF THIS. IT WOULD IF THEY DID NOT HAVE SEWER SERVICE, IT WOULD BE THE BIGGEST CONSTRAINT THAT WOULD LIMIT THEM WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT ON HOW MANY UNITS THEY COULD FIT ON THIS AMOUNT OF ACREAGE. OKAY. THAT'S GOOD. THANK YOU SIR. ABSOLUTELY.

ANYTHING ELSE? OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. REILLY, I WILL BE REMISS IF I DON'T CIRCLE BACK TO TWO THINGS I FORGOT TO MENTION EARLIER. P AND Z DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THIS ITEM SIX ZERO, AND STAFF ALSO RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. DOES. DOES. HOW DOES THIS FIT IN THE MASTER PLAN? IS IT. YEP. ABSOLUTELY. SO THIS DOES ALIGN WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AS I MENTIONED THE FUTURE 380 BYPASS COMING THROUGH BLOOMDALE BEING THAT FULL 400 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY FREEWAY SECTION, THIS WILL BE THE LARGEST. SORRY. OH, THIS WILL BE THE LARGEST INTERSECTION NORTH OF CURRENT 380 BETWEEN I THINK JAKE WAS SAYING CUSTER AND 75. AND SO WE SEE THAT THIS INTERSECTION WILL INEVITABLY BE A HIGH INTENSITY INTERSECTION. AND THAT'S WHY WE FEEL THAT THE LAND USE IS APPROPRIATE. THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. LUCAS, CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT 380 BYPASS? I KNOW YOU'RE NOT AN ENGINEERING, BUT 380 BYPASS IS APPROVED. IT'S COMING 400 FOOT RIGHT AWAY. 12 LANES OF TRAFFIC OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YES, IN

[00:35:02]

THIS AREA. AND OUR NEXT ITEM, THE APPLICANT HAS A PRESENTATION THAT SHOWS A 3D RENDERING. THAT'S THE OTHER THING. 1461 YES. EXACTLY. RIGHT. AND THEN LAKE FOREST AS WELL WILL CONTINUE THAT CURRENT FOUR LANE. I THINK IT'S A GREENWAY ARTERIAL WHICH IS PREPARED FOR SIX LANES. IF THE TRAFFIC WARRANTS AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. BUT YOU'RE CORRECT. SO IT'S THE 400 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY. IT'LL LOOK LIKE 75 REALLY, AS FAR AS THE WIDTH GOES. AND THE NUMBER OF LANES OF THE THREE FOUR, 121. YEAH. SO MUCH, MUCH MORE INTENSIVE THAN THE EXISTING 380. SO JUST I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR LIKE THIS, THIS GROWTH IS COMING. THE THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN DELAYED BECAUSE THE STATE AND COUNTY, YOU KNOW, FOR WHATEVER REASON HAVE BEEN BEHIND IN THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT, YOU KNOW, FIVE YEARS AGO. BUT WE'LL GET IT IN FIVE MORE YEARS OR WHATEVER. RIGHT. BUT BUT THE GROWTH OF THE CITY IS COMING AND, AND TO, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE THE COUNTY HASN'T KEPT UP WITH THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE ON BAXTER. WELL, ROAD DOESN'T MEAN THAT THIS DEVELOPER SHOULDN'T BE PREPARED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, THAT GROWTH OR THIS THIS CURRENT LANDOWNER. RIGHT. NO DOUBT. AND SPECIFICALLY WITH THIS ONE TO THE POINT OF ADDITIONAL RESOURCES EXPENDED ON THE CITY'S STANDPOINT, THIS IS A FULLY PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT. THE ADJACENT FRONTAGE WILL BE FULLY MAINTAINED BY TEXDOT. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE OBVIOUSLY WILL BE MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IN THE FUTURE. BUT ANYTHING ON SITE WILL BE INSTALLED, MAINTAINED BY THIS OWNER BECAUSE IT WILL BE WHAT WE CONSIDER A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S FOR SALE TO BE A CONDO STYLE MODEL TO THAT POINT. ALSO, YOU KNOW, THE IMPROVEMENT ON INFRASTRUCTURE COMES WITH DEVELOPMENT. WE RELY ON DEVELOPMENT TO PRODUCE, CONSTRUCT OR PAY IN LIEU THROUGH IMPACT AND OTHER FEES TO PROVIDE FOR THAT IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED YOU TO GET TO. THIS 1ST MAY NOT, BECAUSE THE STATE MAY IMPROVE THE ROADWAY IN FRONT OF THEM. AND THE OTHER 1ST MAY, YOU KNOW, 1461 THE STATE MAY PAY FOR A LOT OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, BUT THE PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT IS THE DENSITY. THE ADDITIONAL USE COMES AND THEY PAY FOR A LOT OF THE ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT COMES. SO THE LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE TODAY IS GOING TO BE RECTIFIED BY THE DEVELOPMENTS COMING. AND WE MEASURE WHAT IMPACT THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE AND SET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE THEY DO NEED TO PUT IN PLACE, WHETHER THAT IS UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE OR ABOVEGROUND ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE OR WHATNOT.

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. AND BOTH OF THIS CASE, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE NEXT ONE. BUT THEY DO IN THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT HAVE THE ABILITY TO REQUIRE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, IF ENGINEERING DEEMS THAT APPROPRIATE, TO DETERMINE THE EXACT LEVEL OF SERVICE NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE THAT SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT. SO AND AGAIN, I'M BECAUSE THIS ONE DOESN'T APPLY. AND THE NEXT 1ST MAY NOT APPLY PERFECTLY. BUT IF A IF IF IF DEVELOPERS ADD USES AND DENSITIES ALONG A ROADWAY, THAT ROADWAY WOULD LIKELY BE DEVELOPED BY THOSE DEVELOPERS AND NOT NECESSARILY FRONTED BY A CITY OR A COUNTY TO COME IN AND PUT THAT IN PLACE. AND THEN THE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS. THE DEVELOPERS ARE THE ONE FRONTING THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE COST OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THEN THEY HAND THAT OVER TO US, SO TO SPEAK, AS THE MAINTAINERS OF THAT. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. YEAH. OKAY. JUST A QUICK, QUICK NOTE. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT. TEX-DOT IS GOING TO PUT TWO LANES OF, WELL, FOUR LANES, WHICH WILL BE THE SERVICE ROADS FOR THE HIGHWAY INITIALLY. THAT'S RIGHT. THEY'LL START WITH THE ACCESS ROADS. DO YOU HAVE A TIMETABLE ON THAT OR IS THERE. I'VE HEARD IT WAS SOONER THAN LATER. I THINK THAT THE CURRENT TIMETABLE IS SOMETHING LIKE 8 TO 10 YEARS, BUT EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD IS THAT THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE EXPEDITED. OKAY. THOSE FRONTAGE LANES. OKAY.

THANK YOU. JUST SPEAKING OF WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT I'VE PAID ATTENTION TO, WHICH IS SPUR 399, AS THEY SET A TIMETABLE AND THEY KEEP BEATING IT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY'RE BEHIND ON THIS. AND HOPEFULLY THEY TAKE THE SAME POSTURE WITH 380. THAT'S RIGHT. I DON'T TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I THINK ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY HAS ALREADY BEEN ACQUIRED. THERE MAY BE SOME PIECES LEFT, BUT I DON'T. OKAY THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MR. ROWLEY. ABSOLUTELY. MOTIONS. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. WE APPROVE THIS ITEM. I'LL SECOND

[00:40:03]

THE MOTION BY COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN TO APPROVE THE ITEM. AS FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN JONES, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COUPLE REMARKS. MR. MAYOR, I DON'T MEAN TO HOLD UP VOTING TOO LONG. I WANT TO ANSWER A COUPLE QUESTIONS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY 100% THE BEST INTEREST IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. WHAT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS IS ETJ DEVELOPMENT. THE FOLKS IN THE ETJ DON'T PAY OUR PROPERTY TAXES. THAT'S A WIN FOR THE FOLKS IN THE ETJ I GET IT, IT'S $0.41 YOU'RE SAVING, BUT YOU'RE USING OUR ROADS, USING OUR LIBRARIES, YOU'RE USING OUR PARKS. THAT PUTS AN UPWARD PRESSURE ON MY CONSTITUENTS THAT BASICALLY LIVES SOUTH OF EL DORADO. WHEN A DEVELOPER COMES IN, IT'S PRIVATE MONEY WE DON'T GET TO. I DON'T WANT TO, AS A CONSERVATIVE, BE ABLE TO LITIGATE THE DEMAND FOR THEIR PRODUCT. THAT'S UP TO THEM. THAT'S PRIVATE CAPITAL AT RISK.

BUT WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT THE CONTRIBUTIONS IN PARKLAND THEY HAVE TO MAKE, WHICH ARE ACRES, PARKLAND, DEDICATION FEES, WHICH ARE GOING TO BE IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, ROADWAY IMPACT FEES IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THEY HAVE TO MAKE, PUT A DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, WHO WE REPRESENT.

THERE'S BEEN PLENTY OF DEVELOPMENT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS IN THE ETJ YOU'VE ALL SEEN IT. IT DOESN'T WORK FOR US. IT PUTS AN UPWARD PRESSURE ON OUR TAX RATES. IT DOESN'T MAKE FOR GREAT DEVELOPMENT. YOU HAVE LIKE MANSIONS OF PROSPER WITH THE SEWER BATCH PLANT OVER THERE. IT'S TERRIBLE. WE LOVE WHEN PEOPLE CAN COME INTO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THIS WORKS FOR US. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. OTHER COMMENTS. THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IS JUST NORTH OF BLOOMDALE. JUST JUST EAST OF THAT HIGHWAY. I MEAN, WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF ACRES, INCLUDING IRWIN PARK OF PARKLAND RIGHT THERE. THE CONCEPT THAT WE WERE BEING LESS THAN UNIQUE BY NATURE IS JUST IT'S JUST FALSE. THERE'S HUNDREDS OF ACRES. THERE'S OVER A THOUSAND ACRES OF PARKLAND IN MCKINNEY THAT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN DEVELOPED YET. MCKINNEY IS STILL UNIQUE BY NATURE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PROJECT. AND THEY'RE VOLUNTARILY THEY'RE ANNEXING VOLUNTARILY INTO THE CITY. EVERYBODY I SEEN THAT SPOKE TODAY, THEY'RE NOT PAYING TAXES. SO, MR. MAYOR, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ONE LAST COMMENT. I MEAN, IT'S REALLY TOUGH SOMETIMES WHEN YOU MOVE TO A PLACE AND YOU HAVE OPEN GREEN LAND THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING AT FOR YEARS AND, AND YOU IMAGINE THAT IT'S GOING TO STAY THAT WAY FOREVER. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE DO NOT LIVE IN THE PART OF THE STATE OR THE COUNTRY FOR THAT MATTER, THAT WILL REMAIN THAT WAY BETWEEN DALLAS AND SHERMAN. IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. ALL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO FILL IN AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE THE POPULATION INCREASE. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S OUR DUTY AND HONESTLY TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP UP WITH THE HOUSING MARKET. BUT WE LOVE PROJECTS WHERE IT'S FOR PURCHASE AND NOT FOR RENT. THAT'S A BIG POSITIVE FOR OUR CITY, BECAUSE FOR A WHILE WE SAW A LOT OF RENTAL PROPERTIES AND NOT ENOUGH SINGLE FAMILY IN MY OPINION. SO WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OWNERSHIP, GIVE PEOPLE THE CHANCE TO OWN THEIR PROPERTY HERE. THAT'S ALSO A MAJOR PLUS FOR US. SO I'M IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT FOR THAT REASON. OTHER COMMENTS. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN JONES TO APPROVE THE ITEM. AS FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. AT THIS MOTION CARRIES BY A VOTE OF SEVEN IN FAVOR AND ZERO AGAINST. THE NEXT. THAT ITEM HAS BEEN

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Petition to Annex (Case No. 25-0012A) and a Request to Zone (Case No. 25-0125Z) the Subject Property to “MF36” - Multi-Family Residential District, Located on the Southwest Corner of FM 1461 and Baxter Well Road, and Accompanying Ordinance(s)]

APPROVED. THE NEXT ITEM IS 25-0125Z AND 250012A. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER, A PETITION TO ANNEX, AND A REQUEST TO REZONE A PROPERTY TO MF 36 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

THIS IS ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF FM 1461, IN BAXTER WELL ROAD. MR. REILLY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND I KNOW WE HAD A COUPLE SPOILERS ON THIS ITEM AS WE DISCUSSED THE LAST ONE, BUT THIS IS A PROPERTY THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 15. I'M GOING TO SCROLL THROUGH HERE. WE GOT TO PULL UP THE NEXT ONE. NEXT ONE. IT IS 15.7 ACRES AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF FM 1461 AND BAXTER WELL ROAD. THE PROPOSED ZONING FOR THIS REQUEST IS MF 36, WHICH IS OUR STANDARD MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND DOES INCLUDE ANOTHER VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.

THE REQUEST INCLUDES ALL OF THE PROPERTY THAT YOU SEE ON THE EXHIBIT ABOVE. STAFF FINDS THIS ZONING, AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE PROPOSED SURROUNDING USES. AS WE SEE IT IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AGAIN, THE 380 BYPASS COMING WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF THIS LOCATION, WE SEE THIS THIS APPROXIMATE DENSITY AND FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO BE

[00:45:03]

SOMETHING THAT CAN TAPER FROM A MORE INTENSIVE CORNER TO LIKELY SINGLE FAMILY USES IN THE FUTURE. PNC DID RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THIS AS A32 VOTE WITH TWO EXCUSE ME, WITH THREE COMMISSIONERS OPPOSING THE RECOMMENDATION, STAFF DOES STILL RECOMMEND APPROVAL. FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED HERE THIS EVENING, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT AS WELL. I HAVE A YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS OUT THERE, THEIR THEIR ISSUES DEAL WITH THE ROAD, WHICH IS MAXWELL ROAD. SO WHEN THEY DEVELOP THIS, THE CITY IS GOING TO REQUIRE THEM TO IMPROVE THE ROAD ON THE NORTH SIDE. CORRECT. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. PER THE PREVIOUS CONVERSATION, ENGINEERING WILL EITHER REQUIRE AN IMPACT ANALYSIS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROPOSED DEMAND WILL HAVE AND WHAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT NEEDS, OR IF THEY FEEL LIKE THAT IS UNNECESSARY, THEY WILL COME IN AND PROVIDE THE STANDARD DETAIL FOR THAT SIZE ROAD. OKAY, BUT THAT IMPROVEMENT BE MADE, PRETTY MUCH THE DEVELOPER IS GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IN A ROAD THAT WILL HANDLE TWO CARS. THAT'S RIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS OF MR. REILLY. LUCAS.

THANK YOU. OUR APPLICANT. YES. THANK YOU. MAYOR, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

I'M BOB RODER, 1700 REDBUD, SUITE 300, MCKINNEY, TEXAS. ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT, THE NRP GROUP. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO ADDRESS COVERED, BUT I WANT TO GO BACK THROUGH A COUPLE OF THINGS. LET ME START WITH THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ANNEXATION. THIS IS A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION CONSISTS OF 15.7 ACRES. I THINK MR. REILLY SHOWED YOU THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION, BUT I WANT TO ECHO A NUMBER OF COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE BY EACH OF YOU ON THE DAIS. AND THAT IS THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. LIKE MOST OTHER CITIES IN THIS PART OF TEXAS, IS HAS REALLY BEEN BUILT BY THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY. THE ROADS, THE STREETS HAVE BEEN BUILT BY THE DEVELOPERS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR DEVELOPMENT OF THE LAND FOR RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES. UTILITIES. THE WATER LINES, THE SEWER LINES BY AND LARGE, HAVE BEEN PUT IN BY THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, AND THAT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN IT'S WHAT IS WHAT'S GOING TO OCCUR IN THIS PROJECT. THIS PROJECT ALREADY IN OUR ANNEXATION PETITION OR OUR AGREEMENT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR ANNEXATION, AS YOU HAVE SEEN IN YOUR PACKETS, THIS DEVELOPER HAS ALREADY AGREED TO IMPROVE BAXTER ROAD TWO LANES FROM 1461 TO THE EDGE OF ITS PROPERTY, WHICH IS A LITTLE OVER 1200 FEET. IT RECOGNIZES THAT IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IN A AN INTERSECTION AT 1461 AND BAXTER WELL ROAD IN THAT INTERSECTION IS LIKELY NOW THAT THE DESIGN HASN'T BEEN DONE YET, BUT JUST UNDERSTANDING THE DEMAND THE INTERSECTION IS LIKELY TO HAVE TO HAVE A LEFT TURN LANE ON THE 1461 AND A RIGHT TURN LANE ONTO 1461. IN ADDITION, THIS DEVELOPER IS PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO IMPROVE 1461 AT THAT SAME INTERSECTION. IT'LL BE TEMPORARY BECAUSE THIS IS ULTIMATELY A TEXDOT ROAD. BUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS A LEFT TURN LANE GOING NORTH ON 1461 TO TURN INTO BAXTER WELL AND A RIGHT TURN LANE GOING SOUTH ON 1461 TO TURN INTO BAXTER. WELL, YOU HEARD SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE BUS DRIVERS. THE BUS DRIVERS ARE GOING TO BE ECSTATIC BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE BASICALLY THREE LANES, FOUR LANES TO TURN OFF OF 1461 INTO BAXTER WELL ROAD. SO THIS IS GOING TO BRING IMPROVEMENT TO THAT AREA. OKAY. LET ME RUN THROUGH A FEW OTHER LITTLE THINGS HERE. PUNCH THIS BUTTON. EMPRESS. THANK YOU. HOW DO I GET TO. OH HERE WE GO. OKAY. THIS IS THIS IS A SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. IT IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF LAKE FOREST 1461. THE OPPONENTS LIVE IN THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION, WHICH IS TO THE WEST OF THIS PROPERTY. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE MCKINNEY HIGHWAY 380 OUTER LOOP. AS IT TRANSITIONS INTO THIS. INTO THIS AREA, YOU WILL SEE. YOU

[00:50:05]

WILL SEE 14 THAT WHERE THE STAR IS. THAT'S WHERE THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED. AND THE INTERSECTION OF 1461 AND BLOOMDALE. THAT'S 123 IS WHERE THERE'S ALREADY BEEN A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SIZE OF THAT INTERSECTION COMPARED TO EVERYTHING ELSE NORTH OF 380.

OKAY. THIS IS A GRAPHIC OF WHAT THAT OUTER LOOP OR NOT THE OUTER LOOP. THE MCKINNEY 380 BYPASS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AT FULL BUILD OUT. FOR 100FT OF RIGHT OF WAY, IT'S GOING TO HAVE AT LEAST FOUR LANES DIVIDED IN EACH DIRECTION. IT'S GOING TO HAVE LIMITED ACCESS ACCESS ROADS, TWO LANES AT LEAST ON GOING IN EACH DIRECTION. SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT A MASSIVE PIECE OF PROPERTY AND A MASSIVE INTERSECTION THIS IS GOING TO DOMINATE AT THAT POINT.

NOW THE SUBJECT SITE IS A QUARTER OF A MILE NORTH OF THIS. SO THIS IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THAT AREA. MAYBE NOT IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, BUT CERTAINLY IT'S GOING TO START HAPPENING IN 8 TO 10 YEARS. THIS IS A LAYOUT. MIGHT AS WELL KEEP GOING WITH THIS SLIDESHOW.

THIS IS A PROPOSED LAYOUT OF THE PROJECT. YOU CAN SEE IT FRONTS ON 1461. ITS MAIN ENTRANCE IS GOING TO BE ON 1461. THERE WILL BE A SECONDARY ENTRANCE ON BAXTER WELL ROAD.

THERE'S A MAJOR CREEK THAT RUNS A MAJOR TRIBUTARY THAT RUNS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE PROJECT. SO IT WILL BE BRIDGED FROM THE WEST SIDE TO THE EAST SIDE. SO THIS IS YOU'RE GOING TO SEE YOUR TRAFFIC PATTERN. THERE'S REALLY NO REASON FOR ANYBODY IN THIS COMPLEX TO GO WEST ON BAXTER WELL ROAD. THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO GO EAST. IF THEY GO OUT ON BAXTER WELL ROAD, THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO TRANSITION EAST TO THE NEW INTERSECTION THERE AND THEN GO SOUTH OR NORTH, OR IF THEY'RE ON THE THE WEST, ON THE EAST SIDE, THEY'RE PROBABLY JUST GOING TO GO STRAIGHT, STRAIGHT OUT ON THE 1461. THIS CONSISTS OF 288 UNITS. THIS IS A THIS IS A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE MCKINNEY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION AND MY CLIENT. THIS PROJECT CAME ABOUT AS A RESULT OF AN RFQ THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVED IN 2020 FOR. IT WAS PUBLISHED AFTER THAT, AND THERE WERE 5 OR 6 RESPONDENTS. THE NRP GROUP WAS SELECTED AS THE THE BEST OF THE RESPONDENTS. YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS THE SAME GROUP THAT IN CONJUNCTION A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MCKINNEY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION DEVELOPED THE INDEPENDENCE, WHICH IS A 250 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX, AGAIN, AFFORDABLE LIVING COMPLEX THAT'S LOCATED ON MCKINNEY PARKWAY, JUST WEST OF WHERE THE TOYOTA HOUSE IS. SO MY CLIENT ALREADY HAS A TRACK RECORD WITH MCKINNEY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION. AND OBVIOUSLY THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH THEIR FIRST PROJECT BECAUSE THEY WERE INVITED. NOW THEY WERE SELECTED UNDER THE RFP PROCESS. SO WE'RE IN THE WE'RE IN THE PROCESS NOW OF ENTITLING THE SITE. THE SITE IS IS IN THE RFP. THERE WAS A QUADRANT OF MCKINNEY IN WHICH THEY WANTED TO HAVE THIS PROJECT BUILT. AND SO THIS SITE MEETS ALL THOSE PARAMETERS, AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS NOW OF ANNEXING IT, WHICH WE HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO GET THE ENTITLEMENTS. BECAUSE THIS IS A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. WE HAVE LEANED INTO LOWERING THE ARMY REQUIREMENTS OR THE ARMY GRADING FOR THIS. SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE IS. THESE ARE WE'VE GOT. DO I HAVE THE NUMBER OF EACH ONE OF THESE UNITS? I DON'T THINK SO. WE HAVE UNITS THAT ARE 30% ARMY UNITS THAT ARE 60% ARMY AND UNITS THAT ARE 70% ARMY. AND SO THIS WILL THIS GIVES YOU THE KIND OF FOR ONE BEDROOM UNIT AT THE 38% ARMY, $660 PER MONTH. SO THIS WILL GIVE YOU A SORT OF A GAUGE OF WHAT THIS WOULD BE. THIS IS A FIRST CLASS APARTMENT PROJECT. THIS IS NOT A SLUM APARTMENT PROJECT. THIS IS BUILT TO THE SAME STANDARD AS EVERY OTHER FIRST CLASS DEVELOPER WILL DO. I'LL SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES IN A MINUTE. AND AS YOU HAVE SEEN AT THE INDEPENDENCE, BUT A ONE BEDROOM IN MCKINNEY TODAY FOR THIS STYLE OF UNIT IS GOING TO BE 1700 TO $1800. SO YOU CAN SEE THE DISCOUNTS BASED UPON THE THE RESIDENTS EARNING CAPACITY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ACHIEVE HERE. THIS AS I SAID,

[00:55:05]

IT'S A FIRST CLASS PROJECT. THESE ARE THIS IS THE THIS IS THE INDEPENDENCE PROJECT THAT'S IN THE LOWER CORNER, LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER. AND THESE ARE THE KIND OF AMENITIES THAT YOU'LL SEE HERE. I WANT TO MAKE A POINT THAT WITH THIS PROJECT, AS PART OF THE SELECTION PROCESS, THE DEVELOPER OR THE THE DEVELOPER WILL BE THE MANAGER. OKAY. AND AS PART OF THE SELECTION PROCESS, THEY HAVE TO HAVE AN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR THE RESIDENTS CHILDREN. AND IN FACT, AT THE INDEPENDENCE TODAY, THEY HAVE A BUS THAT PICKS UP THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL SO THE PARENTS CAN WORK, BRINGS THEM TO THE PROJECT. THEY HAVE THESE LEARNING ROOMS AND RECREATION AREAS, AND THEY HELP THE KIDS WITH THEIR SCHOOLWORK. THEY HELP THEM WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES UNTIL THE PARENTS GET HOME. SO THIS IS AN ALL INCLUSIVE, AFFORDABLE LIVING PROJECT THAT MY CLIENT PUTS A LOT OF, LOT OF EFFORT INTO MAKING SURE THAT IT MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS. THIS THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE TYPES OF INTERIORS YOU'VE GOT MARBLE COUNTERTOPS, STAINLESS STEEL AND APPLIANCES. YOU'VE GOT HARDWOOD FLOORS, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. SO THIS YOU GO INTO ANY FULLY PROFIT APARTMENT COMPLEX IN MCKINNEY TODAY, A NEW ONE. THIS WILL BE THAT KIND OF FINISH THERE. SO I THINK THAT'S MY SLIDESHOW. LET ME LET ME STOP HERE. I KNOW THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS AND LET ME JUST OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS? MR. SCHROEDER, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE FIRST SLIDE OR ONE OF THE FIRST SLIDES YOU HAD THAT SHOWED THE ETJ MAP? THAT ONE? YES. SO THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE PD ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SCREEN, ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, IS A SINGLE HOUSING, SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT THERE, CORRECT? YES. ANNEXED INTO THE CITY RIDGE ROAD. RIGHT. THERE IS A FOUR LANE ROAD THAT THEY IMPROVED THROUGH THAT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. AND SO FROM BLOOMDALE UP TO BAXTER. WELL IT'S FOUR LANE. IT MEETS THE CITY STANDARDS. CORRECT. ON 1461. THE STATE IS IMPROVING THAT BUT FROM 14 FROM BLOOMDALE UP 1461 TO THE END OF OF THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY LINE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SIMILAR TYPE INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE. THE GAP IN THE MIDDLE IS NOT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY'S RESPONSIBILITY. IT'S NOT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS PUT IN PLACE, AND IT'S NOT OUR ABILITY TO CONTROL. THAT. IS A COUNTY ROADWAY, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. AND SO ANY DEFICIENCY, LET ME MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND THE GAP ON BAXTER. BAXTER. WELL, ROAD FROM THE WESTERN EDGE OF MY CLIENT'S PROPERTY AFTER YOU FINISH IT OUT. YES. STACY TO STACY. ROAD TO TO FROM FROM THE EDGE OF YOUR PROPERTY. DRIVING WEST TO RIDGE ROAD. RIDGE ROAD. YES.

THAT'S CORRECT, THAT'S COUNTY. THAT IS COUNTY IS A COUNTY ROADWAY. YES. AND DEFICIENCIES ARE ON THEM TO DEAL WITH OR TO TO TO. AND IF SOMEONE WANTS TO DEVELOP THAT OR SOMEONE WANTS TO ANNEX IN, THEN IT WOULD BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY. BUT UNTIL THEN, THAT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMMISSIONERS COURT. YES. MAY I ADD TO THAT? PLEASE DO. YOU CANNOT ANNEX THAT PROPERTY INTO MCKINNEY WITHOUT HAVING TO AGREE THAT YOU, AS THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER, ARE GOING TO IMPROVE IT. YEAH, JUST LIKE MY CLIENT HAS. YEAH. OKAY. BOB, FOR THE SAKE OF THE AUDIENCE, CAN YOU CIRCLE THAT AREA YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT JUST SO ON THE SCREEN. CAN YOU MARK IT ON THE SCREEN? YEAH, THIS IS, THIS IS CAN YOU TURN THE ANNOTATION ON? THERE YOU GO.

THIS IS THE. THANK YOU. THIS IS THE BAXTER WELL ROAD PORTION THAT'S COUNTY MAINTAINED THAT THE CITY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN OR NO ABILITY TO OR NO ABILITY. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU. MR. RUTTER. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF CARDS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. WE'LL READ THOSE HERE SHORTLY. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL? YES. FIRST SPEAKER JACOB HARSH. OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JACOB HARSH. I LIVE AT 513 HARD STREET, MCKINNEY, TEXAS. I'VE LIVED IN MCKINNEY MY WHOLE LIFE. I WENT TO CALDWELL AND THEN FABIAN AND MCKINNEY HIGH, AND I'VE WATCHED THE CITY GROW AND EVOLVE. I'M 24 AND I THINK IT'S ABOUT QUADRUPLED IN POPULATION SINCE I WAS BORN. AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK IN STRONG

[01:00:04]

SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM. I'M REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY. AS I'VE GROWN UP HERE, IT'S BECOME CLEAR THAT THE COST OF LIVING IS RISING ALMOST FASTER THAN IT'S GROWING. I KNOW THE AVERAGE HOUSE OF A HOME IS ALMOST AT HALF $1 MILLION NOW. A LOT OF FAMILIES CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT ARE BEING FORCED TO CLOSE. AND BECAUSE OF THESE PRICES, I STILL LIVE AT HOME WITH MY PARENTS. I KNOW MOST OF MY FRIENDS DO, TOO. IF WE'RE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE FAMILIES THAT LET US STAY WITH THEM, AND IT'S DEFINITELY NOT IDEAL FOR MOST PEOPLE IN THEIR 20S, BUT TO LIVE IN A CITY OF THIS QUALITY, IT'S ONE OF THE OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE TO ENTERTAIN. AND SO THE LACK OF QUALITY, ATTAINABLE HOUSING IS PUSHING US OUT. AND SO IF WE DON'T START PROPORTIONATELY ADDING HOUSING OPTIONS FOR ALL INCOME LEVELS, IT'LL BECOME IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO MOVE HERE AND ESTABLISH FAMILIES HERE. I USED TO WORK AT EMPORIUM PIES JUST DOWNTOWN, AND I KNOW A LOT OF MY FRIENDS STILL WORK IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY IN THIS CITY. AND SO THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THIS SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT AND TO EAT. I KNOW, LIKE I'VE DONE A LOT OF BUILDING ON THE VISITOR CENTER DOWNTOWN AND PROMOTING TOURISM AND STUFF, AND IF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CAN'T AFFORD TO SLEEP IN THE CITY, IT WON'T BE SUSTAINABLE IN THE FUTURE. AND SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I JUST ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS ITEM AND GIVE FUTURE GENERATIONS A CHANCE TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE CITY THAT WE LOVE AND SUPPORT AS WELL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. HARSCH. NEXT SPEAKER. AND I APOLOGIZE IF I MISPRONOUNCED THIS YEAR. BLAKEY. BLANTON. I AGREE WITH MR. HARSCH ABOUT NEEDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN MCKINNEY, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS LOCATION IS PROPER FOR IT. MIKE. GOOD EVENING. I'M SORRY. MY NAME IS TISHA BLANTON. I LIVE AT FIVE, FOUR, THREE FIVE BAXTER WELL ROAD. IT'LL BE THE HOUSE WITH THE FIVE ACRES RIGHT BEHIND IT. I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROPOSED APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT IT WOULD TAKE PERMANENTLY AWAY FROM THIS COMMUNITY. THIS AREA WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO SUPPORT HIGH DENSITY HOUSING. THE INFRASTRUCTURE SIMPLY ISN'T THERE. OUR ROADWAYS ARE NARROW, RURAL AND ALREADY STRAINED, ADDING HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS AND VEHICLES WILL INCREASE TRAFFIC CONGESTION, REDUCE SAFETY AND PLACE UNNECESSARY STRESS ON THE ROADS THAT WERE NEVER BUILT FOR THIS LEVEL OF USE AND MAY NOT GET FIXED BY THE TIME THE APARTMENTS ARE THERE. BUT THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT ROADS AND TRAFFIC, IT'S ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE LAND WHEN WE STOP PROTECTING IT. THREE YEARS AGO, MY FAMILY MOVED TO BAXTER WELL ROAD BECAUSE IT OFFERED SOMETHING RARE REAL COUNTRY LIFE THAT IS STILL UNIQUE IN NATURE, CLOSE TO THE CITY. WE CHOSE THIS LAND INTENTIONALLY. WE CHOSE THE OPEN SPACE, THE ANIMALS, THE SENSE THAT NATURE STILL HAD A PLACE HERE. BAXTER WELL ROAD IS SPECIAL BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE REMAINING RURAL ROADS IN MCKINNEY. THAT CHARACTER IS ALREADY DISAPPEARING PIECE BY PIECE, UNDER NEARBY CONCRETE AND HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENTS.

I ALSO WANT TO SHARE A PERSONAL STAKE IN THIS LAND. THE REASON WHY WE GOT THE ACREAGE IS TO PLAN TO OPEN A U-PICK FOR BLUEBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES AT BEEBE FARMS, SO FAMILIES CAN COME HERE AND EXPERIENCE THAT SAME SENSE OF CONNECTION TO THE LAND, TO FOOD, TO NATURE, CLOSE TO HOME. BUT THAT EXPERIENCE DISAPPEARS WHEN FARM LIFE IS BOXED IN BY APARTMENTS, HEADLIGHTS, NOISE AND CONCRETE. IF APARTMENTS ARE BUILT NEXT DOOR, THEY WILL DILUTE THE VERY EXPERIENCED PEOPLE ARE SEEKING WHEN THEY VISIT A FARM. THE PEACE, THE NATURE AND THE OPEN SPACE. THERE IS ALSO THE ISSUE OF LIGHT POLLUTION, A 3 OR 4 STORY APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH CONSTANT EXTERIOR LIGHTING WILL DRAMATICALLY ALTER THE NIGHTTIME ENVIRONMENT. THIS WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT OUR FARM ANIMALS AND WILDLIFE THAT RELY ON NATURAL LIGHT CYCLES FOR REST. I MAY HAVE TO NAME A ROOSTER LIONEL BECAUSE HE WILL BE CROWING ALL NIGHT LONG, BUT SADLY, I HAVE MORE THAN ONE ROOSTER. ANOTHER MAJOR CONCERN I HAVE IS SCHOOL CAPACITY. THIS AREA IS ZONED FOR PROSPER ISD. HAS THERE BEEN A REALISTIC PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE AN INFLUX OF 200 OR MORE STUDENTS IN THIS NEIGHBORING ISD? ARE THEIR CLASSROOMS, STAFFING AND TRANSPORTATION PREPARED FOR THAT GROWTH? MY DAUGHTER IS CURRENTLY IN A PORTABLE CLASSROOM THIS YEAR, AND I'M A TEACHER, AND I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE 30 PLUS STUDENTS IN ONE CLASSROOM. I FEEL THESE QUESTIONS DESERVE CLEAR ANSWERS. BEFORE ANY APPROVAL IS CONSIDERED, PLEASE DO NOT LET BAXTER WELL ROAD BECOME JUST ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT ZONE. PROTECT THIS LAND. PROTECT THE FAMILIES WHO CHOSE IT. PROTECT THE RURAL CHARACTER THAT MAKES THIS AREA WORTH PRESERVING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU, MISS LINTON. NEXT SPEAKER, PHOEBE BLANTON. GOOD. HI. MY NAME IS PHOEBE BLANTON. I LIVE AT BACHELOR WELL ROAD. 54345543435. I DO NOT WANT COMPANIES IN OUR ROAD BECAUSE.

[01:05:10]

OUR HOUSE CANNOT HOLD THAT MANY COMPANIES AND OUR DOGS, THEY ALWAYS BARK WHEN CARS COME BY AND ALL OF THOSE HOUSES HOLD CARS. SO IF THOSE CARS GO OUT OF OUR ROAD, ON OUR ROAD, THE DOGS WILL START TO BARK AND NONE OF OUR COMMUNITY PEOPLE COULD SLEEP. AND AS SAME AS MY MOM, SHE SAID THAT THE ROOSTERS WILL NOT STOP GROWING IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON. SO ALL OF THOSE COMMUNITIES LIGHTS WILL BE ON AND THE ROOSTERS WILL NOT STOP CRYING AND NOBODY COULD SLEEP.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU PHOEBE. NEXT SPEAKER IS MORGAN RIZZO. NO. SANDRA. ORTEGA, THE KING BACK. YES, MA'AM. GO. HI, I'M SANDRA ORTEGA, THE KING. I SPOKE EARLIER ON THE OTHER ISSUE. ON THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT MCKINNEY NEEDS MONEY. I UNDERSTAND ANNEXING WILL GIVE YOU THE TAX BASIS. I UNDERSTAND, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE COST? I ASK THEM, WHAT ABOUT THE COST? HE'S SAYING THAT THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO DEVELOP, RIGHT? HAVING AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, NUMBER ONE, THAT'S ONE OF MY ISSUES, HAVING AN APARTMENT COMPLEX THERE AND THEN BEING A LOW INCOME, WHICH HE SAID, THE PROJECT'S OKAY, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT WHERE IS THE INCOME COMING FROM? AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE LIVING THERE? AND HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE GOING TO BE GETTING TO SCHOOL? HE SAYS THERE'S GOING TO BE AFTER SCHOOL. WELL, IF THE ONLY ROAD THAT THE BUS CAN GO ON IS LAKE FOREST AND A 10TH OF A MILE ON BAXTER, WELL, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE ON RIDGE ROAD IF THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE SCHOOLS? I'M JUST SAYING THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO BUILD UP RIGHT AROUND THEM. ARE THEY GOING TO BUILD UP AND MAKE IT BETTER FOR EVERYONE THERE OR JUST FOR THEM? AND WHO'S GOING TO SUFFER? THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE? NOT NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW EVERYONE, NOT THEM, BUT THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE, WHICH I LIVE THERE. THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE SUFFERING TOO, PUTTING IN APARTMENTS. THE OTHER THING IS, YOU MENTIONED YOU WANT PEOPLE TO OWN PROPERTY, WHICH IS BIG FOR FOR TAXES, FOR MCKINNEY, FOR WHEREVER YOU LIVE.

YOU WANT PEOPLE TO OWN IT, TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT. CORRECT. WELL, THESE ARE NOT GOING TO BE PEOPLE WHO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT. IT'S GOING TO BE A RENTAL AND IT'S GOING TO BE A LOW INCOME.

LET'S SEE, WHAT IS THE OTHER THING THAT HE BROUGHT UP? THE EARLIER MEETING WE HAD, THEY STATED NINE ACRES. NOW THEY'RE STAYING STATING 15 ACRES. SO WHICH ONE IS IT. 9 OR 15. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAY NINE ACRES. NOW THEY'RE STATING 15. THE OTHER ROAD IS RIDGE ROAD. I NOW REMEMBER RIDGE ROAD TO GET TO RIDGE ROAD. I ONLY ASK. WHY I PLEAD YOU, I PLEAD WE DON'T WANT APARTMENT COMPLEXES. I MEAN, ANY MORE THAN I THINK YOU WOULD WANT APARTMENT COMPLEXES JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM YOU. THEY'RE NOT OWNING IT. THEY'RE RENTING IT. THEY OWNED IT. BE DIFFERENT. THEY'RE NOT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, STEPHANIE WEINBERG. HI. MY NAME IS STEPHANIE WEINBERG. I LIVE AT 5861 BAXTER ROAD.

BAXTER ROAD IS NOT CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT. HIGH, HIGH DENSITY APARTMENT COMPLEX. IT'S ESSENTIALLY A ONE AND A HALF LANE ROAD WITH ASPHALT THAT'S LITERALLY AS THIN AS THIS. IPAD FM 1461, IN ITS CURRENT STATE, IS NOT CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING IT,

[01:10:04]

EVEN WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE DEVELOPER IS MENTIONING. THAT SECTION NORTH OF BLOOMDALE IS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS, AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S PLANS IN PLACE EVENTUALLY FOR TEXDOT TO FIX IT, BUT UNTIL THAT IS DONE, THERE SHOULD NOT BE HIGH DENSITY NORTH OF BLOOMDALE.

I'VE BEEN THE SQUEAKY WHEEL FOR SAFETY IN OUR LITTLE CORNER OF NORTHWEST MCKINNEY, AND IT WOULD BE INCREDIBLY IRRESPONSIBLE FOR INCREDIBLY IRRESPONSIBLE CITY PLANNING FOR THIS COUNCIL TO OVERRIDE THE DECISION OF PLANNING AND ZONING. THE INFRASTRUCTURE SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST IN ORDER TO APPROVE HIGH DENSITY ON BAXTER WELL ROAD. IT'S GREAT TO HEAR THAT THE DEVELOPER WILL BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE ADJACENT TO ITS PROPERTY, BUT THIS IS WHY IT'S SO PROBLEMATIC FOR BAXTER. WELL, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO DEVELOPERS TO TO BUILD THE MAJORITY OF THE ROAD. WE ARE A HANDFUL OF SMALL ACREAGE HOMEOWNERS, AND THE ROAD CANNOT SUPPORT THAT HIGH DENSITY. AND THERE ISN'T A DEVELOPER THAT'S COMING TO BUILD THE REST OF IT TO DEVELOPERS STATEMENT THAT THE RESIDENTS WILL NEVER GO WEST ON BAXTER WELL IS PATENTLY ABSURD. ANY RESIDENT WITH CHILDREN WILL GO WEST TO RIDGE BECAUSE ALL STUDENTS WILL GO TO PROSPER. ISD SCHOOLS THAT ARE ALL WEST, AND MOST EVERYONE WOULD GO THE EASIEST ROUTE, WHICH IS TO GO BAXTER WELL TO RIDGE. RIDGE IS A BEAUTIFUL IMPROVEMENT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE DRIVEN OUT THERE AND DONE THE INTERSECTION OF BAXTER WELL OR OF RIDGE AND BLOOMDALE, BUT IT IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN, DESPERATELY IN NEED OF IMPROVEMENT. I YOU HAVE TO BE ESSENTIALLY IN THE ROAD TO EVEN SEE TO TURN. IF IT'S SAFE TO TURN ON TO BLOOMDALE. SO THIS THIS IS A TICKING TIME BOMB OF A FATALITY THAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU APPROVE THIS AND OVERRIDE PLANNING AND ZONING, BECAUSE BAXTER WELL IS NOT BUILT TO SUPPORT THIS KIND OF HIGH DENSITY. I'M NOT NAIVE ENOUGH TO BELIEVE TO BELIEVE THAT DEVELOPMENT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. I ACTUALLY SUPPORT THE PREVIOUS ITEM THAT YOU GUYS APPROVED, AND I AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENTS OF WANTING TO BE ABLE TO ZONE THINGS. IF WE WERE SIMPLY ASKING FOR ZONING, I WOULD BE IN FULL SUPPORT. BUT TO ZONE AND TO PERMIT THEM TO BUILD A HIGH DENSITY APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH THE CURRENT STATE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE. AND I WOULD BEG YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER WHAT YOU WILL BE APPROVING IF YOU OVERRIDE PNC. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS WEINBERG. JOHN KING. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. AS MENTIONED BEFORE, I AM JOHN KING. I DO LIVE ON BAXTER WELL ROAD. IN FACT, I'VE LIVED THERE FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS AT THIS POINT. I DO HAVE TO FIND IT FASCINATING THAT MANY OF THE PROPONENTS FOR THIS ARE ARGUING IN FAVOR OF IT BECAUSE OF THE HOUSING DEMANDS, THE INCREASE IN POPULATION. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THEIR OWN HOMES OR TO BE AFFORD MORE EXPENSIVE APARTMENTS, RENTALS, THINGS LIKE THAT. NOW, OF COURSE, MY QUESTION BECOMES OF WHY IS IT THAT THIS LOCATION IS THE EXCEPTION? WHY IS IT THAT WE'VE HAD DEVELOPMENT ALL AROUND, IN MANY AREAS FAR BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, AND YET THAT HAS NOT BEEN AFFORDABLE TO SUCH A POINT THAT SOMEONE WHO IS ENTERING THE SECOND DECADE OF THEIR LIFE WOULD BE FINDING IT AN ISSUE. NOW, WHY HAS THIS PROJECT, OR ANYTHING SIMILAR TO IT, BEEN MADE AFFORDABLE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE MEDIA AREA? WHY IS EVERYTHING AROUND IT EITHER $500,000 OR MORE? THAT INCLUDES MANY OF THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE OFF OF LAKE FOREST. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS WE'VE DESCRIBED THAT IT IS MEANT TO MEET THE HOUSING DEMANDS, AN INCREASE IN POPULATION. TO MY UNDERSTANDING, MCKINNEY HAS GROWN FROM 2000, A POPULATION OF 56,000, I BELIEVE, GIVE OR TAKE, TO THE CURRENT POPULATION, WHICH I BELIEVE IS 200,000 AND I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT NUMBERS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT'S BEEN A 384% INCREASE IN THE POPULATION. NOW, I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH GENERATIONS, BUT I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK THE EXISTING POPULATION THAT'S BEEN HERE CAN ACCOUNT FOR THE SHEER GROWTH THAT HAS OCCURRED.

NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IF YOU LOOK INTO MANY OF THE RESIDENTS OF THESE HOUSES, YOU WILL BEGIN TO QUESTION, WELL, WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM? WHY ARE THEY HERE? WHAT IS IT EXACTLY ABOUT MCKINNEY THAT IS ATTRACTING THEM TO THIS LOCATION IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY IS IT THAT MANY OF THEM CAN AFFORD A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE HOUSING THAN THE RESIDENTS WHO ALREADY EXIST HERE? RESIDENTS WHO BECOME RELIANT UPON LOW INCOME HOUSING SIMPLY TO EXIST? SO MY QUESTION

[01:15:06]

IN REGARDS TO THAT IS WHY IS THIS HAS TAKEN SO LONG TO OCCUR? WHY IS IT EXACTLY HAPPENING HERE, AND WHY IS IT THE EXCEPTION AND WILL IT REMAIN THE EXCEPTION. SO HOW MUCH MORE HOUSING WILL GO UP? THAT WILL BE HALF A MILLION OR MORE, WHETHER IT BE RENTAL, WHETHER IT BE PURCHASED, HOW MUCH WILL BE CONSTITUTE AS LOW INCOME HOUSING, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SOMETHING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO APPARENTLY ARE NEED IT JUST TO LIVE HERE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO ALREADY. AS AGAIN, SOMEONE WHO HAS LIVED HERE FOR 30 YEARS, I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY OF THE NEIGHBORS OF WHICH WE ARE ACQUIRING ARE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND THE PEOPLE THAT I DID KNOW HAVE LONG SINCE MOVED ON, EITHER BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN PUSHED OUT BECAUSE OF THE TAX INCREASES, OF WHICH WE HAD A SIGNIFICANT BUMP IN 2021, I BELIEVE IT WAS NEARLY 95% INCREASE IN TAXES, WHICH MANY PEOPLE FELT IN THIS AREA, INCLUDING MCKINNEY. I'M SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LEAVING BECAUSE THEY CAN NO LONGER AFFORD IT. AND WHY IS IT THEY'RE ONLY BEGINNING TO ADDRESS THIS NOW, WHEN THERE'S SO MANY OTHER EXCEPTIONS THAT ARE SHOWING THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS NOT THE IS NOT THE AMBITION OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DEVELOPING IN THIS AREA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR. KING. OUR NEXT SPEAKER, RAUL SALAS. HOW ARE YOU DOING? ROSE? BY 513 BAXTER WELLS ROAD.

I KIND OF SAID WHAT I WANTED TO SAID EARLIER ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF OF THE AREA, BUT WHAT I WANTED TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION IS IN 2005, IF YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN 380 AND YOU'RE HEADING WEST, AND THEN YOU TAKE A RIDE ON LAKE FOREST, THERE WAS A BIG DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S AN HOA THERE. IT'S CALLED LAKE. THE SUMMIT, SUMMIT VIEW LAKE. A LOT OF THOSE HOUSES WERE SOLD AROUND 2000 2005. WELL, RECENTLY, WELL, NOT RECENTLY, LET'S SAY LESS THAN A YEAR AGO.

SOME OF THOSE HOUSES, OF COURSE, THEY WERE OCCUPIED AND PURCHASED AND THEN THEY WERE LEASED TO LOW INCOME. NOW, IT WASN'T TOO LONG AFTER THAT YOU START DRIVING DOWN THAT ROAD AND YOU STARTED SEEING GRAFFITI ON THE BRICK WALL. NOW, WHEN I THINK OF LOW INCOME HOUSING, YEAH, YOU KIND OF THINK OF TEACHERS AND YOU KIND OF THINK OF LIBRARIANS, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT MANY LIBRARIANS. SO I MEAN, I'M JUST QUESTION WHEN I THINK OF LOW INCOME HOUSING, I THINK OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. YES. THEY MIGHT HAVE CHILDREN, YES, THEY MIGHT HAVE DAYCARE. BUT YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 13 YEAR OLDS? 14 YEAR OLDS SUMMER. WHAT HOUSES ARE THEY GOING TO VANDALIZE? IT'S GOING TO BE NEAR OUR HOUSE. WE HAVE LIVESTOCK. WHO? I MEAN, YOU GOT TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOMMODATION. YOU CAN'T. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, LOW INCOME HOUSING DOESN'T HELP EVERYBODY. YEAH, IT HELPS A GROUP. I AGREE WITH IT. BUT WHERE WE'RE AT. NO, NO.

AND IT JUST TOOK AN HOA IN 2005 AND THEY STARTED LEASING. THEN YOU STARTED SEEING VANDALISM.

THINK ABOUT THAT. WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO PROVIDE. WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT. SUPERVISION FOR THE 14 ALL THE WAY UP TO 18 YEAR OLD? NO, IT'S NOT SINGLE FAMILY HOME. THERE'S PROBABLY ONE PERSON WORKING IN THAT FAMILY, BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEIR CHILD EVERY DAY. THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY. ANYONE ELSE CARE TO SPEAK? OKAY, WE HAVE TWO CARDS. IMRAN HAWKE IN OPPOSITION TO 25-01252. AND DION, I'M SORRY, DEAN LEON BLANTON IN OPPOSITION TO 2501252Z. ANYONE ELSE? YES, SIR. CAME UP EARLIER. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SAME THING. ORLANDO. ORTEGA. WARNER. BAXTER. WELL, IN LAKE FOREST. JUST TO BE HEARD HERE AGAIN. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, EVERYONE'S WORRIED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AND STUFF. BUT MARK, MARK TWAIN SAID BY LAND THEY'RE NOT MAKING ANY MORE. RIGHT. SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE'RE HERE. BAXTER. WELL, HAS LONG HAS BEEN A LONG, QUIET, RURAL ROAD LIMIT, LIMITED LIGHTING, SCENIC VIEWS, COWS IN THE PASTURE AND VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC. FOR MANY OF US, DRIVING HOME USED TO BE PEACEFUL, AND THAT'S CHANGED. INCREASED TRAFFIC NOISE WITH

[01:20:01]

POLLUTION. I TAKE WALKS DOWN THE ROAD AND THERE'S DEFINITELY A LOT OF A LOT MORE TRASH THAT YOU SEE ON THE SIDE. AND THERE'S BEEN AN INCREASED AMOUNT OF TRUCKS THAT GO THROUGH. IS THE ROAD GOING TO BE USED? YES, I THINK A LOT MORE THAN THAN WHAT WE THINK, EVEN IF IT IS STOPPED AT ONE POINT FROM THE CITY, GOES TO THE COUNTY AND MOVES ON REGARDLESS, THERE'S GOING TO BE HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE'S THERE'S NO WAY TO AVOID THAT. THERE'S ALSO BEEN A LACK OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE PROPERTY FALLS WITHIN THE CITY'S EXTRA TERRESTRIAL EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. THEY SAID THAT WE WERE NOTIFIED FROM, I BELIEVE, ON ONE OF THE MEETINGS THAT THEY SAID IS THAT BASICALLY THE CITY DOESN'T REALLY HAVE TO NOTIFY THE OR THEY DO HAVE TO NOTIFY THEM, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE LEFT HAND'S NOT TALKING TO THE RIGHT HAND WHEN IT COMES TO THE COUNTY AND THE CITY. WHEN IT COMES TO PLANNING AND ZONING, OR AT LEAST A LITTLE MORE COMMUNICATION NEEDS TO GO ON THERE ON OUR BEHALF. THEY SAID.

THEY KNOW THEY THE CITY SAID THEY DIDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO NOTIFY PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE COUNTY. THEY SAID THEY PUT IT IN LOCAL NEWSPAPERS. I DON'T KNOW ANYONE USING NEWSPAPER NOWADAYS AND SOME NOTICES HAVE GONE OUT. THE ONLY REASON WE FOUND OUT IS BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OBVIOUSLY POSTED ON THE SIDE. THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO SAY IS WE'VE SEEN SIMILAR IMPACTS LIKE ARBOR HILLS, TRAILS THAT WERE ONCE THICK WITH TREES AND QUIET ARE NOW EXPOSED OR THAT WERE IT WAS NICE AND IT WAS A NICE IT IS A NICE PARK BECAUSE I GO THERE, I MOUNTAIN BIKE THERE AND IT'S ALSO SEEN SOME CHANGES THERE. I'VE NOTICED THAT IT'S A LOT MORE NOISIER AND IT'S GETTING SMALLER. IT'S A IT'S A VERY BEAUTIFUL PARK, BUT IT'S IMPACTING A LOT OF THINGS THERE. THIS ISN'T ABOUT OPPOSING GROWTH. IT'S IT'S IT'S IT'S ABOUT REASONABLE RESPONSIBLE PLANNING, TRANSPARENCY AND RESPECT FOR EXISTING COMMUNITIES, RURAL LAND, LAND LANDOWNERS DESERVE A VOICE BEFORE DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS PERMANENTLY ALTER THEIR THEIR ROADS, ENVIRONMENT AND QUALITY OF LIFE. AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR. ORTEGA. ANYONE ELSE? MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN KLUGER TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I'LL SECOND.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES. THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN CLOSED. WILL NOW HAVE NOW HAVE QUESTIONS OF EITHER STAFF OR THE APPLICANT. MR. CLOUTIER, A COUPLE REMARKS, MR. MAYOR, THE SISTER PROPERTY OF THIS IS CALLED THE INDEPENDENCE. AS THE APPLICANT MENTIONED AND IT OPENED I FOUR YEARS AGO.

BOB, IS THAT ABOUT RIGHT? 2022 A THIRD OF A MILE FROM MY HOUSE. SO I'VE LIVED NEAR IT FOR THE WHOLE FOUR YEARS IT'S BEEN IN EXISTENCE HASN'T CAUSED ME ONE IOTA OF PROBLEM. NOW, WHEN I MOVED TO THE DISTRICT I'M IN, AND MY DISTRICT IS ROUGHLY BORDERED BY 75 ON THE EAST TO CUSTER ON THE WEST, EL DORADO TO THE NORTH, 121 TO THE SOUTH. WE MAY HAVE HAD 8000 PEOPLE IN THAT PART OF TOWN. I DON'T THINK SO. MAYBE WE HAD FIVE. WE GOT 55,000. NOW, AS MR. ROEDER SAID, THESE THINGS DO DEVELOP. BUT HERE'S AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION THAT I HAD NOW.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS A HUGE PRESSURE POINT ON THE CITY COUNCIL. MCKINNEY HAS DONE WHAT I'VE TOLD MR. ROEDER A NUMBER OF TIMES A MAGNIFICENT JOB OF ADDRESSING OUR PROBLEMS. NOW, WHERE WE'VE OVER ADDRESSED OUR PROBLEM IS WHAT'S CALLED 80% AMI, 80% OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME.

I'M CONVINCED, AND I REMAIN CONVINCED THAT WE THAT WE HOUSE FRISCO'S, ALLEN'S TEACHERS, SOME OF THEIR PEOPLE, WE'RE HOUSING THEM HERE WHERE WE LACK IS GEOGRAPHICALLY THE UNDER 80% AMI IN THIS PART OF TOWN. I'LL TELL YOU A STORY THAT I HAD FROM ONE MONTH AGO. I TALKED TO A LOT OF FOLKS. I TALKED TO THE HEAD OF NURSING AT BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE. I THINK MOST OF US WOULD AGREE, ESPECIALLY Y'ALL WHO LIVE UP THERE. BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR LIFE, AND IT IS PHENOMENALLY CROWDED. AND THEY'VE GOT MAMMOTH EXPANSION PLANS. THE ACHILLES HEEL FOR THAT HOSPITAL IS THE RETENTION OF ORDERLIES, THE PEOPLE WHO CLEAN UP THE ROOMS THESE YEAR, 30, 40% AMI PEOPLE DO. WE HAVE 30 AND 40% AMI HERE IN MCKINNEY? YEP. DO WE HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR BAYLOR HOSPITAL? NO. SO THERE'S AN INTERCONNECTED WEB THAT WE UP HERE GET TO SEE AND TRY TO PROBLEM SOLVE A LOT. THIS WILL HELP BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE.

BUT AS I SAID BEFORE AND I DO FEEL FOR Y'ALL BECAUSE HERE'S SOME THINGS THAT ARE TRUE THAT

[01:25:04]

YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE TRAFFIC. IT'S COMING. BAXTER WELLS A COUNTY ROAD BY AND LARGE COUNTY'S NOT REAL GOOD AT FIXING UP THEIR ROADS, BUT IS OTHER PEOPLE SAID THAT IS UP TO THE COMMISSIONERS COURT TO DO, AND I WOULD PETITION THEM TO DO IT. AS FAR AS PROSPER ISD GOES, MY KIDS IN, IN IN MCKINNEY WENT TO VALLEY CREEK ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS JUST NORTH OF MY HOUSE. THEY'RE IN PORTABLES ALL THE TIME. MAN, WE WERE CROWDED BACK THEN. THIS WAS 30 YEARS AGO. BUT ANNEXING INTO THE CITY CREATES CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT THEY HAVE TO MEET IN TERMS OF BUILDING STANDARDS AND THINGS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO MEET. IF THEY ARE IN THE ETJ AND YOU ARE, YOU ALL CAN LOOK AT THAT WITH MANSIONS OF PROSPER. SO WE NEED THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UP THERE, AS MIKE TYSON SAID. AND THIS THIS ONE HURTS. I KNOW THIS KIND OF I DON'T WANT TO SAY THIS, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT. MIKE TYSON SAID. EVERYONE HAS A PLAN UNTIL THEY GET PUNCHED IN THE MOUTH. THAT BYPASS IS PUNCHING IN THE MOUTH. IT IS. CHANGE IS COMING, MAN. IT IS JUST COMING FOR THERE. LIKE WHAT I SAW IN MY DISTRICT. IT IS COMING IN THIS AREA WITH THE WITH THE STATE LAWS THAT MEAN THAT MAKE IT SO THAT WE CAN'T ANNEX ANYMORE UNLESS IT'S VOLUNTARY, IT IS GOING TO COME SLOWER AND IT IS GOING TO BE JAGGED, IT IS GOING TO BE WEIRD. AND I DON'T NECESSARILY ENVY YOU IF YOU BOUGHT A HOUSE TO RETIRE UP THERE BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO CHANGE UP THERE. BUT THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. IT IS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PARKLAND DEDICATION FEE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO USE OUR PARKS LIKE ARBOR HILLS. THEY WILL BE PAYING INTO IT, WHICH IS WHAT I NEED FOR MY CONSTITUENTS. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT OR CITY STAFF? ANYONE? MR. MAYOR, I'LL JUST SAY SOMETHING. I JACOB STOOD UP AND SPOKE AND PATRICK MENTIONED IT AS WELL. THE INDEPENDENCE. JUST ANECDOTALLY, I LIKE TO ASK PEOPLE I RUN INTO WHERE THEY WHERE THEY LIVE, YOU KNOW, WHAT PART OF THE CITY THEY'RE IN. AND I ATE OVER HERE IN DOWNTOWN A YEAR OR SO AGO AND RAN INTO A GUY AND ASKED HIM, YOU KNOW, WHERE HE LIVED, WORKING AS A WAITER. AND HE, HE, HE HE JUST GUSHED AND SAID, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE DEAL. I FOUND THE INDEPENDENCE. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO TO LIVE IN MCKINNEY IF IT WASN'T FOR THE INDEPENDENCE. AND SO I'M I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT. I DON'T THINK IT TAKES AWAY. I THINK IT ADDS TO WHAT MAKES MCKINNEY WHAT IT IS. I THINK THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS GOING TO BE GREAT IN THIS AREA. THE THE OTHER THING WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IS RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THIS WE JUST PURCHASED, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ACRES. JENNIFER, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY ACRES? WE 230, 230 THAT WE'RE GOING TO DEVELOP INTO A GENERATIONAL. COMPLEX OF OF OF THE APEX NATURE. SO WE EXPECT THIS TO BE RIGHT IN THE CORE OF WHERE THE FUTURE MCKINNEY IS. AND THIS FITS WITH WHAT, WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. I MEAN, THE AS LUCAS MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, AND MR. ROEDER SHOWED THE INTERSECTION OF LAKE FOREST AND THE THREE BYPASS IS ENORMOUS. AND, YOU KNOW, TO, TO TO I GUESS TO TO NOT PREPARE FOR THAT. I THINK THIS IS A PERFECT FIT IN PREPARING FOR THAT. SO, JUSTIN, I AGREE, I'M THE I'M ACTUALLY THE COUNCILMAN THAT ACTUALLY LIVES IN THAT AREA. I MEAN, THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE HAD A PROJECT ACROSS FROM THE FIRE STATION NINE. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE TOWNHOMES. AND I ACTUALLY WENT DOOR TO DOOR AND KNOCKED ON THE NEIGHBOR'S DOOR AND ASKED HIM, WOULD THAT BE A PROBLEM? YOU KNOW, HAVING, YOU KNOW, AFFORDABLE TOWNHOMES RIGHT HERE IN THIS IN THIS SMALL PIECE OF LAND. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THEY SAID IS THAT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I ALWAYS GET IS LIKE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE HOW THESE PEOPLE GET HERE TO TO WORK ON 380. I MEAN, WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF RESTAURANTS POPPING UP ON 380 RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE DAVID BUSTERS COMING UP. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO PAY TO TO GET TO MCKINNEY ON 121 BECAUSE THERE'S NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND SO THIS IS ANYTIME THERE'S A GOOD PROJECT LIKE THIS THAT'S ACTUALLY WEST OF 75 WHERE PEOPLE CAN, YOU KNOW, LIVE, WORK AND PLAY. I'M ALWAYS FOR IT. ANYONE ELSE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM. I WILL SECOND A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BELLER TO APPROVE THE ITEM FOR THE APPLICANT REQUEST. WE HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE ON. THIS. MOTION CARRIES BY VOTE OF SEVEN IN FAVOR AND ZERO AGAINST. THE

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “AG” - Agriculture District to “I1” - Light Industrial District, Located on the Southeast Corner of State Highway 5 (North McDonald Street) and Wilmeth Road, and Accompanying Ordinance]

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REZONING OF PROPERTY FROM AG TO L ONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. THIS IS THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF STATE HIGHWAY FIVE AND WILMOTH ROAD. MR. REILLY, THANK YOU. SO THIS NEXT CASE IS A REZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 22.5 ACRES HERE AT THE INTERSECTION OF WILMOTH AND HIGHWAY FIVE. FUTURE WILMOTH WILL KIND OF WRAP THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY AND FOLLOW THE PROPERTY LINE SHOWN THERE. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE IT CUTS ACROSS THE NORTH AND THEN STARTS TO CUT SOUTHEAST. THAT'S WHERE WILMOTH WILL COME AROUND AND CONTINUE TO CONNECT. MCINTYRE WILL TURN INTO A FIRE LANE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. JUST TO GIVE SOME ADDITIONAL CONTEXT, THIS IS CURRENTLY ZONED AGRICULTURE, AND THE PROPOSED REZONING IS OUR I-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. IT IS A STRAIGHT ZONING REQUEST. IT SUPPORTS OR EXCUSE ME, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS WITH THIS PLACE TYPE AND IT IS SURROUNDED BY OTHER INDUSTRIAL USES. AND SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE PNC RECOMMENDATION FOR UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. THANK YOU. LUCAS. ARE THERE QUESTIONS. IS THERE APPLICANT HERE? I BELIEVE SO MAYBE YES. HELLO. IRIS AT 2600 NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY, RICHARDSON, TEXAS. YEAH, LIKE YOU SAID, THIS IS AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT JUST SOUTH OF FUTURE WILMOTH ROAD, WHICH WILL CONNECT KIND OF NORTHEAST OR SOUTHEAST RIGHT TO MCINTYRE ROAD, AS YOU CAN SEE, WHAT'S NOT SHOWN HERE. BUT ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL. THAT WAS EASY OKAY. PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU'RE COMING TONIGHT AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THIS PROPOSED REZONE, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. SEEING NO ONE REGISTERED, WE WOULD LOOK FOR A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM. SECOND MOTION BY MAYOR. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU. THERE YOU GO, I LOVE IT. I GET A RAISE NOW. FREUDIAN. WE LOVE THAT. ARE YOU THE MAYOR? MAYOR? MAYOR, YOU CAN HAVE MY RACE. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA AND A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM FELTUS TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES BY A VOTE OF SEVEN IN FAVOR AND ZERO AGAINST. THAT ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED. MR. REILLY, THE NEXT

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “PD” - Planned Development District to “C1” - Neighborhood Commercial District Located on the Southwest Corner of South Hardin Boulevard and Aspen Drive, and Accompanying Ordinance]

ITEM IS 250151Z3. A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REZONE PROPERTY FROM PD TO C-1. THIS IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HARDIN BOULEVARD AND ASPEN DRIVE. ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE ANOTHER REZONING CASE HERE. THIS ONE'S A LITTLE UNIQUE. THIS IS REALLY KIND OF A A LEFTOVER PARCEL THAT THE ADJACENT OWNER TO THE SOUTH OWNS THIS PROPERTY. IT IS REZONING FROM. CURRENTLY IT'S A PD THAT ALLOWS FOR SINGLE FAMILY USES. THE REZONING IS REALLY JUST A WAY TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED RESIDENTIAL SETBACK FOR COMMERCIAL USE. ON THE PARCEL TO THE SOUTH, THIS PARCEL IS CURRENTLY A DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND IS NOT ABLE TO BE DEVELOPED. AND SO REZONING IS NOT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. IT ALLOWS FOR EASIER DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH, AND WE DO HAVE A SUBMITTED SITE PLAN FOR COMMERCIAL USE ON THAT SOUTHERN PARCEL. I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND PNC RECOMMENDED UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU'VE COME TONIGHT AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON THIS PROPOSED REZONE, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. WE CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM. HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM AS STAFF RECOMMENDATION. SECOND, BY COUNCILMAN JONES. ANY DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. NOW. HERE WE GO. THAT MOTION CARRIES. MY VOTE IS SEVEN IN FAVOR AND ZERO AGAINST.

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request for Passenger Vehicle Fuel Sales (Murphy Oil USA), Located on the Southwest Corner of North Central Expressway (US Highway 75) and Virginia Parkway, and Accompanying Ordinance]

[01:35:05]

THE NEXT ITEM, 25-00162. PUBLIC HEARING. TO CONSIDER A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR PASSENGER VEHICLE FUEL SALES MURPHY OIL, USA. THIS IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY AND VIRGINIA PARKWAY. MR. REILLY ALL RIGHT, SO IN THIS CASE WE HAVE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR VEHICLE FUEL SALES. IT IS REQUIRED IN THIS LOCATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT ALL OF THE OTHER THREE DEVELOPED INTERSECTIONS HAVE AN EXISTING FUEL SALES, CONVENIENCE STORE, GAS STATION, WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL IT. RIGHT NOW, THE UDC HAS A REQUIREMENT THAT NO MORE THAN TWO GAS STATIONS CAN BE LOCATED IN AN INTERSECTION. THIS, AS MENTIONED, WOULD BE THE FOURTH GAS STATION AT THIS INTERSECTION. AS SUCH, STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF THE REQUEST. WE FEEL THAT IT'S NOT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE GIVEN THE OTHER THREE INTERSECTIONS ALREADY HAVING GAS STATIONS AND A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE WEST. THERE'S ANOTHER ONE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF VIRGINIA AT THIS LOCATION. PNC DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL UNANIMOUSLY FOR THE REQUEST, AND I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. MR. REILLY. DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. IS THERE APPLICANT HERE? YES. THANK YOU LUCAS. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR COUNCIL MATT MOORE, 301 SOUTH COLEMAN. PROSPER, TEXAS 75078 I'M HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF OWNERSHIP, WE ARE AWARE OF THE REQUIREMENT. WE ARE A BASE ZONING OF C3 WHICH TYPICALLY ALLOWS THIS USE. OBVIOUSLY, THE QUANTITY AT THIS INTERSECTION IS IN QUESTION. WE FEEL LIKE UDC IS TRYING TO PROTECT SOME OF THESE MORE INTERNAL INTERSECTIONS, SUCH AS VIRGINIA LAKE FOREST, SOME OF THOSE TYPE WE THINK VIRGINIA 75 IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ANIMAL GIVEN THIS LOCATION. WE'VE GOT TWO OLDER FUEL STATIONS ON THE EAST SIDE OF 75. WE FEEL LIKE THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION ON THE WEST SIDE. IT'S ON THE GOING TO WORK SIDE. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONVERSATION AT PNC RELATED TO TRAFFIC. WE'VE GOT DUAL RIGHT TURN LANES HERE AT THIS INTERSECTION THAT HAVE BEEN RECENTLY INSTALLED THAT I THINK WILL HELP FACILITATE TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA. AS A PROSPER PERSON, WE'VE GOT TWO LEE MURPHY'S. THEY'VE BEEN GREAT ADDITIONS TO THAT TOWN, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD LOCATION HERE. SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL MIGHT HAVE. AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM GETTING TO THE EGRESS ON THE SOUTHBOUND 75 SIDE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY. CORRECT. SO IF SOMEBODY WERE TO ENTER, I BELIEVE THERE WILL BE INGRESS EGRESS FROM VIRGINIA. BUT YOU COME IN, YOU'RE WANTING TO GET TO WORK IN RICHARDSON. YOU COULD YOU DON'T NEED TO GET BACK ON VIRGINIA. YOU COULD JUST EXIT THIS AND GET ON 75 ACCESS DRIVES INTERNAL TO THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT CAN EXIT A VEHICLE OUT ON THE 75 FRONTAGE ROAD SOUTH OF VIRGINIA. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. MR. MOORE, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR LONG DRIVE FROM PROSPER. DO YOU GENTLEMEN HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER THAT'S GOING TO TOP THAT? ONLY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR US. WE DON'T. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM.

IF YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THIS PROPOSED SUV, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. AND NO ONE IS REGISTERED. SO WE WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED BY STAFF. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM.

AS PER APPLICANT REQUEST. I'LL SECOND YOU GUYS. NEED A MOMENT? YEAH. THAT'S FINE. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN LYNCH. I WAS GOING TO SECOND. OKAY, WE GOT A COUPLE MORE. I'M SORRY. YOU GOT ONE MORE CHANCE. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA TO APPROVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES BY A VOTE OF SEVEN IN FAVOR AND ZERO AGAINST. THAT ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC HEARING. PORTION OF OUR MEETING WILL NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ONE MORE, ONE MORE, ONE MORE. WELL, GOT A BONUS REPAIR BONUS ITEM. DO 2500192 PUBLIC

[01:40:07]

NO WORRIES. WE'LL WE'LL BRING IT HOME. OKAY, SO WE'VE GOT BREAK MASTERS. THIS IS ANOTHER SUP. IT'S REQUIRED DUE TO THE USE BEING FOR VEHICLE REPAIR. THIS IS A MINOR VEHICLE REPAIR.

BRICK MASTERS IS A NEW RETAILER COMING TO THE STATE OF TEXAS, IN PARTICULAR DFW. THIS WILL BE THEIR FIRST LOCATION HERE IN MCKINNEY, AND THEY'RE EXCITED TO BE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ANYONE? NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

THAT ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED. NOW WE'LL MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE ON AN ITEM THAT IS NOT ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THEN WE WILL MOVE TO

[COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS]

COUNCIL COMMENTS. MR. BELLER. YEAH, I'VE GOT THREE THINGS I'LL MENTION ONE. LAST THURSDAY WE DID THE POINT IN TIME CENSUS AS REQUIRED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, I BELIEVE COUNCILMAN CLOUTIER WAS THERE. I BELIEVE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ARNOLD WAS THERE, AND CITY MANAGER GRIMES WAS THERE. THAT IS ALWAYS AN INTERESTING AND EYE OPENING NIGHT. IT REQUIRES A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS. IT REQUIRES A LOT OF EFFORT WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT CITY PARTNERS AND CITY DEPARTMENTS. AND I JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE ALL THOSE THAT PARTICIPATED IN THAT. IT WAS A GOOD NIGHT TO DO IT BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS TURNING AT THAT POINT. AND SO IT WAS GOOD TO BE ABLE TO MAKE EVERYBODY WHO YOU PERFORMED THE CENSUS WITH THE SURVEY WITH, AWARE OF THE RESOURCES THAT WERE AVAILABLE TO THEM THROUGH OUR EMERGENCY SHELTER, AND THEN THAT SHELTER HAD TO SERVE QUITE A BIT OVER THE NEXT WEEK, BOTH AT THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH THROUGH THE EMANUEL LABOR AND THEN AT SALVATION ARMY. AND BOTH OF THOSE EFFORTS TAKES LOTS OF VOLUNTEERS. IT TAKES A LOT OF COORDINATION. AND IT'S DIFFICULT IN ICY CONDITIONS. SO I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKED HARD FOR THAT AND WANTED TO THANK THEM FOR THOSE EFFORTS. WE DID THE PROCLAMATION FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE TWO OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU CAN EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT THE HISTORY OF AFRICAN AMERICANS. ANY SATURDAY THIS MONTH AT THE MCKINNEY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH ON ERWIN STREET, YOU CAN GO LOOK AT THEIR INVENTORS EXHIBIT. THIS IS SOMETHING THEY DO EVERY YEAR, THAT IS FROM 10 TO 4, ANY DAY, ANY SATURDAY. AND THEY HAVE A WHOLE EXHIBIT IN THEIR GYMNASIUM THAT SHOWS CONTRIBUTIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS. AND IT IS FASCINATING TO SEE. SECOND IS ONE THAT IS LED BY THE CITY. IT IS UNDER-TOLD STORIES, AND IT'S A DISCUSSION ON THE LEGACY NEIGHBORHOODS OF EAST MCKINNEY. AND THAT IS ON THURSDAY,

[01:45:01]

FEBRUARY 12TH AT SIX. AND I BELIEVE THAT'S HERE. AND SO BOTH WORTHWHILE EVENTS TO TO ATTEND AND TO TO LEARN AND ENGAGE AND SO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GO. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MR. FRANKLIN, I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT ON ITEM THAT WAS ON THE WORK SESSION. CHIEF ELLENBERG CAME BEFORE US AND TALKED ABOUT HOW HE LIKES TO COME HERE AND GIVE RECOGNITION TO HIS OFFICERS, AS MUCH AS HE LIKES TO GIVE IT. I LIKE TO HEAR IT. HE GIVES ME A WARM FEELING TO KNOW THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE EVERY DAY RISKING THEIR LIVES. BOTH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND FIRST RESPONDERS. AND WE HAVE ONE OF THE BEST POLICE FORCE AND THE BEST FIRST RESPONDERS ANYWHERE. AND I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THAT. I'D LIKE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, EVERY NOW AND THEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL COME UP AND RECOGNIZE OFFICERS, TOO. BUT IT GIVES YOU AN INSIGHT ON WHAT THEY DO ON A DAILY BASIS AND HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MR. MAYOR, I'VE GOT THREE THINGS. ONE, I WAS GRATEFUL THAT YOU WERE AT YOUR CONFERENCE LAST WEEK BECAUSE IT GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE VFW HERE IN MCKINNEY AND WATCH THE COUNTRY OF SOUTH KOREA GIVE THE MEDAL OF FREEDOM TO A MCKINNEY RESIDENT WHO WAS A VETERAN OF THE KOREAN KOREAN WAR. HIS NAME WAS DICK PORTER.

HE'S 95 YEARS OLD, LIVES HERE WITH HIS DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW HERE IN MCKINNEY. THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH KOREA IS IS DOING THIS FOR ANY LIVING VETERAN OF THE KOREAN WAR, GIVING THIS MEDAL AND THIS RECOGNITION. IT WAS REALLY A COOL THING. SO IF YOU WANT TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THESE FOLKS, EMAIL ME AT MCKINNEY, TEXAS. ORG OR DISTRICT TWO AT MCKINNEY, TEXAS. ORG. BUT WHAT A TREAT MAN. RIGHT AFTER THAT, I GOT INVITED TO A PRIVATE TOUR OF THE OLD COLLIN COUNTY PRISON THAT IS ACROSS FROM CADILLAC PIZZA. THE NEW OWNERS OF THIS BUILDING ARE VERY GENEROUS WITH THEIR TIME, AND THEY HAD ME CONNECT THEM WITH FORMER SHERIFF TERRY BOX, WHO BROUGHT IN A GUY NAMED RANDY CLARK. RANDY STARTED HIS CAREER THERE AS A JAILER, AND HE HAD NOT BEEN IN THE BUILDING SINCE THE 80S. AND THE STORIES THAT FLOODED BACK TO HIM OF THAT BUILDING WERE JUST INCREDIBLE. AND THAT WAS JUST AN INCREDIBLE HOUR SPENT WITH THOSE GENTLEMEN. AND LAST THING WAS THAT BEFORE I CAME HERE, I WENT TO SEE MY BUDDY JASON HERNANDEZ'S NEW CAR. HE DIDN'T HAVE IT, BUT I MET LIBBY SPEARS, WHO WORKS FOR THE CHAMBER, AND SHE WAS AT LA TIENDA WORKING WITH THE SOME OF THE INTERNS THERE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID? SHE WAS GIVING THE STRENGTHSFINDER TEST. AND, YOU KNOW, THE STRENGTHSFINDER IS A REALLY COOL TEST THAT HELPS YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF. TWO OF MY STRENGTHS, COUNCILMAN LYNCH, WERE BUOYANCY AND BIODEGRADABILITY. AND SO THOSE WERE MY TOP TWO. BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS DOING IT ON HER OWN TIME, AND IT WAS JUST AMAZING. AND SHE'S NEW WITH THE CHAMBER.

JUST A BIG SHOUT OUT TO LIBBY SPEARS DOING THAT FOR THOSE KIDS OVER THERE. THANK YOU MR. MAYOR, AS ALWAYS. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA. MR. LYNCH, NO COMMENT THIS EVENING. I HAD THE ONE THING I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF REPRESENTING THE COUNCIL AT THE STATE OF THE CHAMBER EVENT THIS PAST THURSDAY. GOT TO RECOGNIZE A COUPLE MEMBERS OF THE CHAMBER THAT DEAL WITH, PARTICIPATE IN ALL THE RIBBON CUTTINGS AND ALL THE ALL THE THINGS THAT THAT GO AROUND MCKINNEY, THAT THEY THAT THEY DO TO KEEP THE BUSINESS OWNERS, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, ENGAGED WITH THE CITY. IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR THAT OUR CHAMBER IS STRONG AND OUR CHAMBER BOARD IS STRONG, AND WE HAVE A GREAT CHAMBER PRESIDENT. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH TO SHARE, BUT I WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK OUR PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS, OUR POLICE AND OUR FIRE DURING THE SNOW WEEK THAT WE HAD. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE THAT I HAVEN'T LOST POWER, THANK GOODNESS. I HOPE THAT WAS THE SAME FOR ALL OF YOU, BUT IT TAKES AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF DEDICATION TO PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NOT GREAT AND THEY DO SUCH A MARVELOUS JOB. THANK YOU TO THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AS WELL. THEY DID A FANTASTIC JOB AS WELL, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE JUST CONSTANTLY TAKING CARE OF THIS COMMUNITY, EVEN WHEN WE DON'T ALWAYS THINK ABOUT IT AND WE DON'T ALWAYS RECOGNIZE IT. BUT I WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU TO THEM. VERY GOOD. AS REFERENCED EARLIER, THE US CONFERENCE OF MAYORS ANNUAL CONFERENCE WAS IN WASHINGTON, DC, AND I HAD THE PLEASURE OF ATTENDING THAT THAT EVENT. IT'S IT'S THE LARGER CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES COMING TOGETHER AND AND SHARING BEST PRACTICES AND TALKING THROUGH WHAT IS AND WHAT ISN'T WORKING. AND PROBABLY THE HIGHLIGHT WAS SITTING AND HAVING A MEAL WITH TWO MAYORS FROM UKRAINE. AND KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS NOT AN INTERNATIONAL EVENT. THEY WERE INVITED BY MAYOR FROM THE METROPLEX TO AS PART OF A SISTER CITY PROGRAM. BUT TO SEE THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES AND TO HEAR THE STORIES THAT THESE TWO MAYORS FROM THE FRONT LINES OF UKRAINE, IT WAS IT WAS IT WAS ONE OF THOSE ONCE

[01:50:05]

IN A LIFETIME MOMENTS THAT YOU JUST PUT YOUR FORK DOWN AND LISTEN TO THESE GUYS TALK WHO COULD BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH. I MEAN, YOU THINK COUNCILMAN IS BAD? THESE GUYS COULD BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH, BUT REALLY, A A HEARTWARMING OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD THAT YOU MAY NEVER HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE STAFF FOR WHAT THEY DO IN MCKINNEY. THEY ARE THE UNSUNG HEROES OF WHAT WE GET TO DO UP HERE. WORK WITH PROFESSIONALS EVERY DAY, IN AND OUT, AND SPECIFICALLY TONIGHT. JENNIFER ARNOLD IS IS HER OPPORTUNITY TO RUN THE MEETING. AND SHE RAN THE MEETING. SHE IS. WHAT MAKES HER REALLY GOOD IS NO ONE KNOWS SHE'S DOING IT WITH THE GUYS SHE'S HANDING NOTES TO, AND SHE'S REALLY GOOD. WE WORKED TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME AND I'VE SEEN HOW PROFESSIONAL SHE IS AND EVERYTHING SHE DOES AND SHE IS, IS IS TRULY A PROFESSIONAL AND WE'RE BLESSED TO HAVE HER HERE. WELL, SHUCKS. MY TURN, I GUESS YOURS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. MAYOR. AS YOU NOTED, I'M UP HERE. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SHARE THE DAIS WITH YOU TONIGHT. FOR THOSE THAT MAY STILL BE WATCHING ONLINE, OUR CITY MANAGER, PAUL, IS IN MEXICO CITY AS A FEATURED SPEAKER AT THE FUTURE TALENT FORUM, WHICH IS AN INTERNATIONAL FORUM, SO WE WISH HIM WELL ON HIS SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT OVER THERE. WE GOT A COUPLE OF QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE AFTER THE WINTER STORM THAT WE HAD, THAT SPRING BREAK IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, SO I WANT TO PUT OUT A REMINDER THAT OUR RECREATION CENTERS APEX CENTER WILL HAVE HALF DAY AND FULL DAY CAMPS DURING THE WEEK OF SPRING BREAK FOR STUDENTS, SO PLEASE GO ONLINE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN. OH, THERE WE GO. ALSO, OUR PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT IS ALREADY STARTING TO HIRE FOR SUMMER JOBS, SO WE WILL BE HAVING A HIRING EVENT ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7TH AND AGAIN ON MARCH THE 7TH FROM 8 A.M. TO 1 P.M. HERE AT CITY HALL. SO WE'RE ENCOURAGING FOLKS THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO STOP BY AND PICK UP A PACKET FOR POTENTIAL SUMMER JOB. COUNCILMAN BELLER, YOU STOLE A LITTLE BIT OF MY THUNDER ON THE LEGACY NEIGHBORHOOD EVENT. I DO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GO TO THAT. I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT SOME OF THE FOUNDATIONAL HISTORY OF MCKINNEY. AND THEN ALSO, IF YOU ARE FEELING LIKE GETTING OUTDOORS TOWN LAKE PARK ON FEBRUARY THE 7TH FROM 8 TO 11 IS HAVING THEIR ANNUAL TROUT DERBY. YOU HAVE TO BE 17 OR OLDER AND HAVE A FRESHWATER FISHING LICENSE. AND IF YOU ARE UNDER, LET ME CHECK THIS OUT.

16 AND UNDER FISH FREE. ANYONE 17 OR OLDER HAVE TO HAVE A FISHING LICENSE. SO BRING YOUR OWN POLE AND BAIT AND GO OUT AND HOPEFULLY YOU CATCH SOMETHING GOOD. AND THAT'S ALL FROM ME. THANK YOU, MR. ARNOLD. ANYTHING ELSE? WE DO NEED A MOTION TO ADJOURN. HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM. SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. IT
