IF YOU ARE HERE THIS EVENING AND WISH TO SPEAK DURING A PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION, PLEASE COMPLETE A SPEAKER CARD. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND LIMIT YOUR REMARKS TO THREE MINUTES. WE ASK THAT YOU BE CONCISE IN YOUR COMMENTS AND SPEAK ONLY ONCE, IF NECESSARY, TO CLARIFY OR TO ANSWER QUESTIONS POSED BY THE AUDIENCE. CITY STAFF WILL BE CALLED TO RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN RAISED BY THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE.
THE BOARD REQUESTS THAT WE ALL TREAT EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT. FOCUS ON THE ISSUES, BE CONCISE IN OUR COMMENTS, AND AVOID OVERTALKING THE ISSUE. WE ALL WANT TO ACT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITIZENS, OF ALL THE CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY, WHILE MAINTAINING THE HERITAGE AND HISTORIC CHARACTER OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE NONPUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEMS? WE DO NOT. SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. THE FIRST ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER 26 017 SEVEN MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION ADVISORY BOARD REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 5TH, 2026. I TRUST YOU ALL HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE MINUTES. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? I'LL MOVE APPROVAL. WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE A VOTE NOW. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA. THE FIRST ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER HP 20260020.
CONSIDER SLASH DISCUSS SLASH ACT ON THE REQUEST BY OWNERS JEFF AND SUMMER LINDSEY FOR APPROVAL OF HISTORIC MARKER FOR THE PROPERTY, LOCATED AT 2210 SOUTH BRADLEY STREET. AND RAYNA WILL MAKE A PRESENTATION. AND YOU'RE ALREADY HERE. I'M HERE. YOU JUST SNEAK UP. I HATE MY HEAD DOWN, AND YOU JUST CREEP ON UP THERE. OKAY, SO THIS EVENING, I'M BRINGING FORWARD HISTORIC MARKER APPLICATION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 210 SOUTH BRADLEY STREET ON BEHALF OF THE OWNERS, LINDSEY. AND THEY ARE HERE THIS EVENING. SO THE DAVIS LUCAS HOUSE WAS CONSTRUCTED AROUND 1888. AND THE GOTHIC REVIVAL SLASH FOLK VICTORIAN STYLE. THE HOME WAS CONSTRUCTED WITH WOOD SIDING, HAS A STEEPLY PITCHED CROSS-GABLED ROOF WITH GOTHIC REVIVAL STYLE FRONT GABLES, AND SITS ON A PIER AND BEAM FOUNDATION. IT IS A LOW PRIORITY, WHICH MEANS IT TYPIFIES A COMMON LOCAL BUILDING FORM, ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, OR TYPE WITH NO IDENTIFIED HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS. IS A MODERATE TO SEVERELY ALTERED RESOURCE WITH REVERSIBLE MODIFICATIONS. AND HERE ARE SOME OF THE HISTORIC INFORMATION YOU DID RECEIVE. THE FULL PACKET IN THE AGENDA. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. THE HOME WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED BY THE WILLIAM DAVIS FAMILY, WHO WERE THE ONES WHO DONATED 120 ACRES FOR THE OFFICIAL ESTABLISHMENT OF MCKINNEY IN 1848 49. THE HOME WAS THEN PURCHASED BY THE GABRIEL LUCAS FAMILY, WHO USED THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE AS LUCAS STUDIOS PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIOS FOR MANY GENERATIONS. ACCORDING TO JAMES, I JUST TALKED TO AND MRS. LUCAS AFTER HER HUSBAND PASSED AWAY, SHE RAISED HER 11 CHILDREN IN THE HOUSE AND CONTINUED TO LIVE THERE UNTIL HER PASSING IN 1948. AND THAT PHOTO THERE AT THE TOP IS PHOTO OF THE HOUSE IN 1948, AND THEN BELOW WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE IN 1985. AND THESE ARE SOME OTHER PREVIOUS ELEVATIONS, ALSO FROM 1985 AT THE TOP AND THEN BELOW. IN 2005. AND THESE ARE THE CURRENT ELEVATIONS. AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. REINA. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR REINA? DO WE KNOW WHAT YEAR THE MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE AND THE ADDITIONS? NOT PRECISELY. IT WAS OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS. IT LOOKS LIKE MOSTLY WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS THEY'VE REPLACED WHAT THE ROOF WAS REPLACED WITH THE METAL ROOF, AND THEN IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN ADDED ON TO THE BACK PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY. MOST OF THE ALTERATIONS I THINK WERE WERE IN THE REAR REAR ADDITIONS.
[00:05:01]
WE HAVE THE HOMEOWNERS HERE WITH US, DO WE NOT? WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO COME UP AND SAY A FEW WORDS? WE'LL TRY TO BE VERY CONCISE, BUT I JUST LOVE LIVING IN THIS HOME. I LOVE MCKINNEY, MY HEART IS HERE AND THE PREVIOUS LUCAS FAMILY ANCESTORS. I'VE HAD MANY A CONVERSATION WITH THEM AND THEIR LOVE FOR THIS HOME IS WHY WE WANTED TO APPLY FOR THIS. BECAUSE THE LUCAS STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHED PRETTY MUCH ALL THE CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY WHENEVER THERE WERE SOME RENOVATIONS DONE, BUT THE FRONT OF THE HOME WAS KEPT AS IS BECAUSE OF THE LEGACY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO. I THINK IN THE 1960S 70S, THEY DID MOVE TO THE SQUARE. IT WASN'T AS COMMON TO HAVE PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO IN THE FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE, BUT BACK IN THE 1900S IT WAS. WE EVEN HAVE ONE OF THE CAMERAS THAT THEY USED AROUND 1910. WOW. WHICH WE STILL HAVE, PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T MOVE IT OUT OF THE HOUSE. IT'S SO HEAVY IN HERE, BUT WE'RE JUST HAPPY AND HOPE THIS HOUSE CAN BE RECOGNIZED BY THE HISTORY THAT IS SO RICH, WHERE WE LIVE AND WANT TO HONOR THE FAMILY. HAVING SOME RELATIVES AND FAMILY HISTORY HERE MYSELF, IT'S JUST REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME. I'M REALLY A PART OF THE, YOU KNOW, EVEN BEFORE THE LUCAS'S, THE FACT THAT IT WAS BUILT BY SOMEBODY WHO GAVE THE THE LAND FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. IT'S IT'S MONSTROUS IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE HERE TODAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE HOMEOWNERS? I LOVE THIS HOUSE. IT'S I JUST LOVE IT HAS SO MUCH CHARACTER AND Y'ALL HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH IT. I LOVE IT. IT'S REALLY NICE. WELL, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP HERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR REINA. WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE MARKER APPLICATION. THANK YOU. MARSHA. SECOND PLEASE. I'LL SECOND. LISA SECOND. OKAY.EXCELLENT. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A VOTE THEN. IN THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JAMES, WHO RECUSED HIMSELF FROM THE THE VOTING PROCESS.
ALL RIGHT. WE CAN ALLOW JAMES TO COME BACK NOW. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. RIGHT THERE. YOU'RE GOOD. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. SECOND ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS NUMBER HP 2026 0013. CONSIDER DISCUSS ACT ON A REQUEST BY MICHAEL CURRAN FOR APPROVAL OF A REHABILITATION LEVEL HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT ZONE PROGRAM TAX EXEMPTION LEVEL TWO FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 408 BROOK LANE. RAINA IS BACK, I AM BACK, SO THIS IS AN APPLICATION FOR HISTORIC MARKER LEVEL TWO FOR 408 BROOK LANE. THE HOMEOWNER IS NOT HERE THIS EVENING. SO THIS HOME WAS CONSTRUCTED AROUND 1960. IT IS IN THE RANCH STYLE AND IT'S A MEDIUM PRIORITY, WHICH MEANS IT CONTRIBUTES SIGNIFICANTLY TO LOCAL HISTORY OR BROADER HISTORICAL PATTERNS. BUT ALTERATIONS HAVE DIMINISHED THE RESOURCES INTEGRITY. BUT IT'S STILL A SIGNIFICANT EXAMPLE OF ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING OR CRAFTED DESIGN. I LOVE THIS HOUSE. IT'S ALL BRICK, IT'S RANCH STYLE. AND SO FOR LEVEL TWO, THE REQUIREMENTS ARE MINIMUM INVESTMENT OF $10,000, INCLUDING BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE PROPERTY, HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF RECEIPT OF THE LETTER OF ELIGIBILITY. STAFF DID MEET WITH THE HOMEOWNER ON JULY 24TH, 2025, AND HERE ARE A LIST OF THE ELIGIBLE ITEMS THAT WERE INCLUDED FOR THE EXEMPTION. THE DOWNFLOW FURNACE REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR, ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND REPAIR. UPDATED WIRING COMPONENT REPLACEMENT, PANEL ADJUSTMENT, SEWER LINE REPAIR, AND PLUMBING REPAIR AND IT TOTALED $11,085. NOW, STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST BY THE HOMEOWNER AND ARE AWARE THAT THE TIMING OF THE WORK IS INCONSISTENT WITH LEVEL TWO CRITERIA. HOWEVER, THE WORK ITSELF DOES MEET THE REQUIREMENT. STAFF WERE MADE AWARE OF THE WORK DURING THE IN-PERSON MEETING IN JULY OF 2025, AND FEEL IT WAS A GOOD
[00:10:02]
FAITH EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE HOMEOWNER, AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST FOR THE LEVEL TWO INCENTIVE, WHICH CARRIES A 50% EXEMPTION FROM CITY AD VALOREM TAXES FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. OKAY, SO REMIND ME THE INCONSISTENCY OF THE TIMING. SO FOR A LEVEL TWO YOU NEED TO HAVE A LETTER OF ELIGIBILITY PRIOR TO THE WORK COMMENCING. OKAY. BUT DURING THE MEETING IN JULY, MOST OF THE TALK CENTERED AROUND POSSIBLY THIS HOME GETTING HISTORIC MARKER. SO THAT'S A LEVEL ONE. AND SO THE WORK IS ELIGIBLE FOR THREE YEARS PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION. SO I THINK THERE WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION THERE. BUT WE WERE MADE AWARE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. YEAH I THINK GOOD FAITH IS THE KEY KEY PHRASE HERE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR RAINA? WHY IS THIS? IT'S A MEDIUM. WHAT WHAT IS IT ABOUT MEDIUM PRIORITY THERE I BELIEVE WAS IN AN ADDITION ON THE REAR, A SMALL ADDITION. AND I THINK THE WIND, I THINK AT ONE POINT THE WINDOWS AND THE DOOR WAS CHANGED IS WHAT I READ. SO VERY, VERY MINOR. IT'S IT'S MOSTLY INTACT. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. HEAR A MOTION. I'LL MOVE APPROVAL. OKAY. SECOND. I'LL SECOND. OKAY. LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A VOTE. CAN I GET CONFIRMATION? MOTION? OH, I SECOND IT. YEAH. YEAH. MINE'S NOT SHOWING UP OKAY. SO JUST A SECOND OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ITEM, OUR THIRD.AND I THINK OUR FINAL ITEM. IS ITEM NUMBER HP 2020 6-0015. CONSIDER DISCUSS ACT ON A REQUEST BY OWNER SEAN WARMAN FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR DEMOLITION OF A DETACHED SHED LOCATED AT 1105 WEST LAMAR STREET. AND RAINA IS BACK AGAIN. I'M BACK AGAIN. OKAY, SO THIS IS FOR REQUEST FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF A DETACHED SHED AT 1105 WEST LAMAR. THE OWNER IS NOT HERE WITH US THIS EVENING ON. THE HOME WAS CONSTRUCTED AROUND 1945, IN THE NATIONAL FOLK STYLE. AND IT IS A LOW PRIORITY, WHICH MEANS IT TYPIFIES A COMMON LOCAL BUILDING FORM, ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OR TYPE WITH NO IDENTIFIED HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS. IT HAS BEEN MODERATELY TO SEVERELY ALTERED. THAT'S THE INFORMATION I JUST GAVE YOU. SO THIS IS THE STRUCTURE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS THE CURRENT CONDITION. IT IS A DETACHED SHED. IT WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 2016. THE HOMEOWNER AND YOU CAN'T REALLY TELL IN THESE PHOTOS. HOWEVER, THE HOMEOWNER DID TELL ME THAT THAT TREE I BELIEVE IT'S THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT. IT'S ACTUALLY GROWING INTO THE SHED, SO IT'S CAUSING A LOT OF DAMAGE. AND SO THEY WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THAT AND PUT IN IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION, AN ACTUAL GARAGE. AND WHILE IT WAS CONSTRUCTED TO LOOK VERY OLD, IT IT ISN'T. AND I DID LOOK BACK AT THE SANBORN MAPS TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANYTHING ELSE IN THAT LOCATION PRIOR TO THIS. IN 2016, I COULD NOT FIND ANY HISTORIC STRUCTURES ON THAT PROPERTY THERE. SO STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE DETACHED SHED. IT IS NOT CHARACTER DEFINING OR INTEGRAL TO THE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY. IT DOES NOT CARRY ANY HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE IN ITS OWN RIGHT, AND WE DON'T FEEL THAT IT WILL IMPACT THE PRIORITY RATING OF THE HOME ITSELF. SO THE BOARD HAS FOUR OPTIONS YOU CAN APPROVE, APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS, DENY OR ISSUE A 90 DAY DELAY. AFTER THE 90 DAY DELAY, THE COA WOULD BE ISSUED.
MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM APPROVES THE REQUEST FOR DEMOLITION. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR REINA ON THIS? I DON'T HAVE ANY EITHER. LET'S GO AHEAD AND SEE IF WE CAN GET A MOTION FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DEMOLITION OF THE SHED. THANK YOU. SECOND, PLEASE. I'LL SECOND. MEGAN. SECOND, SINCE MARSH HAS BEEN DOMINATING THE MOTION AND SECONDS. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. ALL
[00:15:01]
RIGHT. THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT.THAT TAKES US THROUGH THAT PORTION OF THE AGENDA. DO WE HAVE ANY GENERAL CITIZEN COMMENTS REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA? AND THE ANSWER IS NO. DO THE BOARD MEMBERS OR STAFF HAVE ANY FURTHER BUSINESS TO DISCUSS? OH COME ON, I, I DO IF THE BOARD DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING. YEAH. I MEAN I'LL WAIT MY TURN. OKAY. I ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. SO I HAVE THREE THINGS THAT I WILL TALK ABOUT REAL QUICKLY. THE FIRST IS THAT I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ON OUR WEBSITE, WE HAVE A RECORDING OF THE UNDERTOLD MCKINNEY BLACK HISTORY MONTH OF HISTORY MONTH EVENT THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNER, TORI BROWN, LED. SHE DID A FANTASTIC JOB. IF YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO ATTEND THAT IN PERSON, I WOULD DEFINITELY GO CHECK IT OUT. IT'S AT MCKINNEY, TEXAS. ORG SLASH UNDERTOLD AND YOU CAN SEE THE RECORDING OF THE PANEL. SECOND, I WANTED TO JUST MAKE SURE TO CALL EVERYONE'S ATTENTION TO THE BREEZEWAY AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE SAW THAT YOUR HARD WORK CAME TO FRUITION. THE PANELS WITH THE HISTORY TIMELINE ARE OUT THERE, SO FEEL FREE TO STOP AND TAKE A GANDER.
I THINK THEY TURNED OUT REALLY WELL AND IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT AHAB'S HELP. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND THEN THE THIRD THING I WANTED TO COMMENT ON, JUST SO I DON'T FORGET TO MENTION IT. SO I KNOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT KIND OF INTERMITTENTLY. IT DOES SEEM LIKE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT STIRRING UP AGAIN. IT DOES SEEM LIKE THE CITY IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEMOLITION OF OLD DEAF SERVICES AND THE CITY HALL BUILDINGS. THEY'RE BOTH OUTSIDE OF THE HISTORIC OVERLAY DISTRICT. THE ANTICIPATED, ANTICIPATED DEMOLITION IS SOMETIME IN THE SPRING. THEY DON'T HAVE A DATE YET. WE'RE GOING TO BE UPDATING. THERE IS A DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT SITE THAT YOU CAN GET TO ONCE YOU GO ON OUR WEBSITE, OR I CAN EMAIL IT TO Y'ALL. THAT ONE DOESN'T HAVE A QUICK LITTLE TAGLINE I CAN GIVE YOU, BUT WE'RE UPDATING THAT WEBSITE JUST AS SOON AS INFORMATION COMES IN. I DO BELIEVE THAT THINGS WILL BE GOING TOWARDS TWO CITY COUNCIL AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING. IF YOU WANT TO CHECK THE AGENDA FOR THAT DAY. WELL, I'LL GO. SO FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO SAY I CAME TO VOTE LAST WEEK WITH MY FAMILY AND SAW THE PANELS. THEY'RE AMAZING.
AND I, WE WERE. SO MY MOM GREW UP ON IN EAST MCKINNEY, AS WELL AS MY SISTERS AND I, AND JUST SEEING EAST MCKINNEY UP THERE IN THAT BREEZEWAY ALONGSIDE THE REST OF MCKINNEY IS SOMETHING THAT I, I KEEP SAYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS BREATHTAKING. BUT THERE'S I, THERE'S JUST NO WORDS TO EXPLAIN. SO I JUST SERIOUSLY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU ON THE BOARD AND TO YOU, KATHY AND YOUR TEAM FOR JUST HEARING ME AND US AND MAKING IT TO WHERE WE ARE A PART OF THE CITY AND ITS HISTORY TOO. AND I DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK UP AS MUCH AS I AS MUCH AS I USED TO, EVEN THOUGH I STILL LIKE TO. AND IT JUST I MEAN, I REALLY CAN'T WORDS CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW THAT FEELS. SO I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU AND TO THOSE OF OUR BOARD THAT AREN'T HERE ANYMORE AS WELL, ON A SADDER NOTE, I DID JUST WANT TO LET THE BOARD KNOW THAT THE HOUSE THAT BELONGED TO MR. AND MRS. IOLA LEE DAVIS AND ARTHUR MALVERN HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE LOCATION WHERE DODIE HIGH SCHOOL WAS. IF YOU DON'T KNOW, THE MALVERN'S WERE INCREDIBLE EDUCATORS FROM EAST MCKINNEY. THEY WERE THEY WERE LEADERS OF THE FIRST WELL, THE SEGREGATED HIGH SCHOOL HERE IN MCKINNEY, DODIE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEY WERE PART OF THE INTEGRATION THAT HAPPENED IN THE 60S. THEY HAVE A SCHOOL NAMED AFTER THEM, MALVERN ELEMENTARY, AND THEIR HOME WAS JUST THE PAST MONTH, MAYBE MONTH AND A HALF WAS DEMOLISHED. AND IT'S THAT PROPERTY IS UNDER OWNERSHIP NOW OF MIKE REDIKER.
SO I JUST WANTED TO LET THE BOARD KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING I'M. REALLY STRUGGLING WITH. SO THE MALVERN'S WERE SPECIAL TO OUR FAMILY, AND THAT HOME HAD A LOT OF HISTORY TO IT. AND I JUST
[00:20:06]
THINK THE BOARD DESERVES TO KNOW THAT WE'RE LOSING HISTORY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. WE ARE LOSING HISTORIC PROPERTIES IN THE EAST SIDE OF MCKINNEY, AND THAT IS JUST ANOTHER ADDED TO THE LIST THAT IS REALLY RECENT. SO I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW I APPRECIATE THAT. MEGAN. EXCUSE ME. OVER HERE. I'M LIKE, I CAN HEAR THAT WAY.DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THE HOUSES ON GREENVILLE? NO, NOT NOT NOW. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. THOSE HOUSES. I STILL DON'T KNOW IF THEY'VE BEEN SOLD OFFICIALLY TO THAT DEVELOPER.
STREET LIGHTS. FOR NOW, THEY ARE STILL OWNED BY MIKE REDIKER AND HIS INTER MCKINNEY LLC. OR IS IT MCKINNEY STILL OR IS IT? IT MIGHT BE MCKINNEY EAST. I THINK IT'S ENTER INTER MCKINNEY LLC. SO I THINK THE STREETLIGHT DEVELOPERS WILL BE COMING TO THE NEXT LEGACY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETING, WHICH IS THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF MCKINNEY. WE HAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, AND THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE SOME UPDATES, BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR NOW WHAT THAT IS.
SO THANK YOU. HAVE THEY BEEN REASONABLY COMMUNICATIVE? THE STREETLIGHTS DEVELOPER? YEAH, I THINK SO. THEY'RE REALLY ADAMANT ABOUT WANTING TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR GROUP IN PARTICULAR. BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY STILL DON'T OWN THAT PROPERTY YET. YET. AND I KNOW THAT THEIR INTENTIONS STILL ARE FOR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA, WHICH CURRENTLY IT'S ZONED FOR SINGLE FAMILY. AND SO IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, IDEAL, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN PRETTY COMMUNICATIVE WITH US. GOOD SO FAR. YEAH. MEGAN, THE THE MALVERN HOUSE IS ACROSS FROM WHERE DODIE IS, IS THAT RIGHT? YES. SO. AND CASSIE, FORGIVE ME IF YOU'VE ALREADY ANNOUNCED THIS, BUT AT THE EVENT, THE BLACK HISTORY, TORY ANNOUNCED THAT THEY RECEIVED ONE OF THE UNTOLD MARKERS FOR DODIE, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL. THEY PUT SO MUCH WORK INTO GETTING THAT DESIGNATION AND JUST. AND I CANNOT REMEMBER. BUT DOES THAT PROTECT AS FAR AS WHEN YOU GET A MARKER LIKE THAT? DOES IT OFFER ANY KIND OF PROTECTION TO THAT, TO THE OLD DODIE SCHOOL, OR WHAT DOES WHAT HAPPENS THERE? SO THE UNDERTOLD MARKER IS JUST LIKE A STATE SUBJECT MARKER, SO IT DOESN'T OFFER ANY ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS TO THE SCHOOL. IT'S MUCH MORE ABOUT HONORARY AND MAKING SURE THAT THE HISTORY IS DOCUMENTED. OKAY, WELL, THAT I FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, I DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT IT, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY GIVE THAT MANY OF THOSE UNTOLD MARKERS. AND SO FOR, FOR THAT FACILITY OR THAT STRUCTURE TO GET IT, IT WAS A BIG DEAL. AND I KNOW TORY, THEY REALLY WORKED HARD ON DOING THAT. SO YES, FOR SURE, AS FAR AS I KNOW, I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY ACTUALLY GET THE MARKERS, LET ALONE GET THEM ON THEIR FIRST TRY. SO IT IS VERY MUCH A BIG DEAL AND THERE'S MORE TO COME WITH THAT. I THINK TORY IS LEADING THAT CHARGE AND LED THAT COMMITTEE, AND IT WAS A BIG UNDERTAKING THAT I KNOW SHE SHE LED REALLY WELL ALONG WITH CASSIE. AND THERE ARE PLANS, AS FAR AS I KNOW, TO CONTINUE THOSE EFFORTS FOR GETTING UNDERTOLD MARKERS FOR EAST MCKINNEY. AND SO HOPEFULLY SOON WE WILL HAVE MORE THAN JUST THE ONE SUBJECT MARKER AND PEOPLE CAN, YOU KNOW, WALK AROUND AND SEE THE HISTORY THAT DOESN'T OFTEN GET TOLD. SO IT'S VERY EXCITING. I DID FORGET ABOUT THAT TO MENTION THAT, BUT THAT IS SO EXCITING. YEAH. SO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNER, TORY, IS ACTUALLY GOING TO COME TO HPV AND TALK ABOUT UNDERTOLD MCKINNEY, BOTH ABOUT THE MARKER ITSELF AND THEN ABOUT THE PROGRAM THAT SHE'S KIND OF LEADING FOR THE SECOND YEAR. NOW THAT WE'VE GOT ONE YEAR OUT OF THE WAY, SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE THAT PROGRAM. SO IT'S AWESOME. IT'S EXCITING. GOOD STUFF. DO WE HAVE A CELEBRITY ON THE BOARD? EVEN IF SHE'S JUST FILLING IN? YEAH. SOMEBODY THAT'S LIKE VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR. YEAH. OH YEAH. MISS BETTY, IS THAT WHAT IT IS. IS IT OR IS IT JUST LIKE CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD? THE CARRIE COX THAT WAS AWESOME. IT WAS IT WAS IT WAS IT WAS A VERY MUCH AN HONOR AND VERY DESERVING TO. CARRIE COX WAS A GOOD FAMILY FRIEND.
[00:25:06]
AND SO IT WAS VERY, VERY HONORED TO RECEIVE THAT AWARD. YEAH. VERY DESERVING. AND WE'RE HONORED TO HAVE YOU HERE WITH US. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I MEAN, I GUESS I'LL START TAKING OUR PHONE CALLS AGAIN NOW. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY OTHER BUSINESS, JAMES? ANYTHING FOR YOU? ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING DOWN THERE? BRIAN? MARSHA? LISA, I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING. CASSIDY.DID YOU TELL US THAT BEFORE THE OLD CITY HALL IS GOING TO BE DEMOLISHED? THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME DOCUMENTATION PERFORMED? HAS IT HAPPENED YET? YEAH. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT THAT DOCUMENTATION DONE. IT INVOLVES SOME ORAL HISTORIES AS WELL AS ARCHITECTURAL SURVEYING OF THE BUILDING. AND I'M GOING TO TRY AND GET THAT UPLOADED TO THE DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT SITE.
AND IF NOT THAT SITE, THEN I'LL PUT IT ON THE HISTORIC WEBSITE. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW, LENA MILSTEAD, I BELIEVE, WAS ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY HAD THAT LENA, AN EARLY B MILSTEAD LENA WORKED THERE FOR A LONG TIME, AND I THINK SHE WAS ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY INTERVIEWED. AND SHE PASSED AWAY SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. SO I WAS SO THANKFUL THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO TALK TO HER. AND I'M INTERESTED TO SEE THAT WE'LL GET THAT UPLOADED. AWESOME. WELL VERY GOOD. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING? I MOTION WE ADJOURN. THANK YOU. BRIAN. SECOND. SECOND. LISA. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THAT. NOW I'M GOING TO VOTE NO I'M NOT TRYING TO I'M JUST GOING TO BYPASS MARSH. I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS AND I WANT TO STAY HERE. I VOTED NO, YOU VOTED NO. I WANT TO STAY. I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE. NEVER DOES.
