[26-0967 Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Interlocal Agreement with Collin County Emergency Services District No. 1 for the Provision of Firefighting and Fire Protection Services]

[00:05:02]

OKAY. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. THIS IS ACTUALLY A MIRROR OF WHAT WE WERE ACTUALLY THE AGREEMENT THAT WE HAD SINCE 2013 WITH THE COUNTY. IT IS NOW ONLY THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT ACTUALLY WITH THE ESD. THAT WAS FORMED IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR, THE CHIEF DOWN THE THE THE GENESIS OF THIS WHOLE THING REALLY WAS THAT THE CITIES WERE SERVING US IN THE ETJ AND SERVING IN THE COUNTY. WE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE COUNTY AS FAR AS REIMBURSEMENT GOES. WE LITIGATED THAT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THE COUNTY DECIDED TO START AN ESD, A SPECIAL DISTRICT FOR THOSE IN THE ETJ TO MAYBE MORE FAIRLY COMPENSATE FOR FIRE SERVICE IN THEIR AREAS THAT DID PASS. THEY ARE DOING THAT, BUT IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT TO GET OFF THE GROUND. SO THIS IS JUST SIMPLY AN EXTENSION PER MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE AGREEMENT THAT WE'VE HAD, JUST TO LET THEM GET OFF THE GROUND BEFORE THE SPECIAL DISTRICT STARTS PAYING FOR IT. IS THAT YOUR BASIC UNDERSTANDING? THAT IS CORRECT. WE KEPT THE SAME BOUNDARIES, THE SAME AREA THAT WE HAD BEFORE. THE COMPENSATION DID INCREASE. SO WE WERE AT ABOUT $63,000 ANNUALLY. OKAY, WHEN THE COUNTY WAS ACTUALLY PAYING US. AND THAT'S BASED OFF OF SQUARE MILES AND POPULATION. WE'RE STILL BASING IT OFF OF THE SQUARE MILES AND POPULATION.

BUT OF COURSE, THE ESD PASSED A TAX THAT WAS $0.10 ON $100 VALUE. SO THERE WAS ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT WAS AVAILABLE WITH THE SIX MONTH AGREEMENT THAT WE THAT WE WOULD START OCTOBER 1ST TO APRIL, IT WOULD BE $190,000. OKAY. IN THE REPORT, THAT'S JUST FOR THAT SIX MONTHS. THIS GIVES US THAT TIME FOR US TO CONTINUE TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE ESD NOW, NOT THE COUNTY. RIGHT.

TO FIGURE OUT WHAT AREAS THAT WE DO WANT TO COVER. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I PRESENTED BEFORE, EVEN AT THE ESD, WAS TRYING TO STICK WITHIN THE EIGHT MINUTE RESPONSE BOUNDARIES THAT WE HAVE. IF WE GO TOO FAR OUT FROM WHERE OUR STATIONS ARE ACTUALLY AT, I FEEL THAT WE START TO COMPROMISE OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND TO OUR OWN CITIZENS THAT ARE PAYING, YOU KNOW, FOR THESE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY. YEAH, I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT, BUT I'LL BE SUPPORTIVE OF THE SIX MONTH EXTENSION FOR THESE FOLKS WHO LIVE OUT THERE AND ARE KIND OF SWINGING IN THE WIND RIGHT NOW, BUT THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM CHIEF DALE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. RUSSELL SCHAFFNER IS HERE FROM THE COUNTY. DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD, SINCE YOU'VE MADE THE EFFORT TO BE HERE AT AT THIS LATE HOUR, YOU'RE WELCOME TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. MAYOR. CITY COUNCILMEN AND WOMEN. RUSSELL SCHAFFNER, DEPUTY COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR HERE ON BEHALF OF THE ESD TONIGHT, WE JUST REALLY WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE WORK THAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE AND THE SUPPORT THAT YOU'VE SHOWN FOR THAT FROM THE ESD, BOTH GETTING IT PASSED.

AND THEN ALSO, AS WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THIS TRANSITION PERIOD, CHIEF DOWELL AND CITY MANAGER GRIMES HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH, AS WE'RE TRYING TO DO, IF YOU WILL, A 15 QUARTER NEGOTIATION WITH 15 DIFFERENT PARTNERS TRYING TO FIGURE THIS THING OUT. SO APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND ANY SUPPORT WITH THIS. AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO WORK ON THIS AGREEMENT, BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT MR. HAUSER AND I HAVE EVER AGREED ON ANYTHING. SO CAN WE GET THAT IN THE MINUTES? SO I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. RUSSELL.

THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. THANK YOU, SIR, VERY MUCH. OKAY. DO WE HAVE MOTION ON THIS ITEM? LOOKS LIKE THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, MR. MAYOR. SO I'LL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM AS PRESENTED BY STAFF MOTION BY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED BY STAFF. SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JONES. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU, MR. HAUSER, FOR BEING AGREEABLE. YOU'RE WELCOME. PATRICK. OH, I'M SO SORRY. THAT MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU, CHIEF DOW. AND TO THE COUNTY AS WELL THAT WAS.

[26-0968 Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract Amendment with Swinerton Builders for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Services Related to the Design and Construction of the McKinney National Airport Commercial Terminal Project (AI2250)]

[00:10:08]

THAT WAS ALWAYS PART OF THE PROJECT PLAN. EARLY ON IN THE PROJECT WHEN WE WERE WORKING WITH SWINERTON, WE VALUE ENGINEERED AND REMOVED SOME OF THE SCOPE TO ALIGN WITH THE PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES THAT WE WERE RECEIVING. AND NOW THIS PROPOSAL TONIGHT IS TO REALLY RESTORE AND PUT SOME OF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE BACK IN PLACE INTO THE PROJECT. AND THIS IS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT AVELLO AIRLINES REALLY NEEDS TO OPERATE THE WAY THEY INTEND TO OPERATE HERE. AND IT'S ALSO SOME INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL HAVE IN THE HOLD ROOMS FOR THE THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE. SO TO GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THAT, THERE'S THREE MAIN COMPONENTS.

THERE'S A SUPPORT BUILDING THAT WE PROPOSE TO BUILD ON THE WEST END OF THE APRON, JUST SOUTH OF THE FUEL FARM. IT'S ABOUT A 400 OR ABOUT A 4000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY THAT WILL PRIMARILY BE USED BY THE AIRLINE FOR ITS MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS. SO AS YOU'RE AWARE, AVELO IS GOING TO BASE 737 AIRCRAFT AT, AT AT MCKINNEY, AND THOSE AIRCRAFT WILL START AND END THEIR DAY THERE AND THEY'LL BE OVERNIGHT THERE. THEIR MECHANICS WILL MAINTAIN THOSE AIRCRAFT ON THE APRON. AND THIS BUILDING REALLY IS FOR PART STORAGE AND FOR THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, FOR THEIR MECHANICS, 4000FT■S, ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF IT'S CONDITIONED. AND THEN IT ALSO HAVE SOME RESTROOMS IN IT FOR NOT ONLY THE EMPLOYEES, BUT OTHER EMPLOYEES THAT ARE AUTHORIZED TO BE IN THAT SECURED AREA. EVEN OUR FUELERS. THE SECOND COMPONENT IS A CONCESSIONS AREA THAT WILL BE IN THE HOLD ROOM. SO THERE'S SPACE PLANNED IN THE HOLD ROOM BETWEEN HOLD ROOM THREE AND FOUR, THERE'S A LARGE AREA FOR CONCESSIONS. WE PROPOSE TO COMPLETE THAT BUILD OUT OF THAT SPACE AND OFFER DRINKS AND SNACKS AND THINGS THAT THAT THE PASSENGERS CAN GRAB AND TAKE WITH THEM ON FLIGHTS. AND THEN THE THIRD COMPONENT IS SOME OFFICE SPACE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BUILD OUT FOR VELOS USE OF THEIR, THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES. THEY'VE ASKED FOR A COUPLE OFFICES IN A STORAGE CLOSET. SO THAT WOULD BE THE THIRD COMPONENT. AND PRIMARILY ALL OF THAT IS, IS BEING FUNDED THROUGH THE CONTINGENCIES THAT WE HAVE IN THE, THE, THE CONTRACTOR'S CONTINGENCY AND THE AIRPORT OR THE OWNER'S CONTINGENCY, AS WELL AS SOME BUYOUT SAVINGS THAT WE THAT WE HAD OR THAT SWINERTON REALIZED WHEN THEY WERE BUYING OUT THE TRADES FOR THE PROJECT. SO THE DELTA, THERE'S ABOUT 400,000 AGAIN. NO NEW FUNDINGS BEING REQUESTED, SUPPORT BUILDING CONCESSION SPACE, AND SOME OFFICE SPACE IS BEING PROPOSED FOR A SCOPE INCREASE, ADDING $400,000 TO THE PROJECT. STILL HAVE ABOUT $1 MILLION IN UNENCUMBERED FUNDS. NO NEW FUNDS GOING INTO THE PROJECT.

AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ANYONE QUESTIONS, THANK YOU. YOU'RE ALWAYS SO THOROUGH IN YOUR REPORTS. WE APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. I GOT A COUPLE MORE. I'M JUST GOING TO. RIGHT. YEAH. HANG TIGHT. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE APPROVE THIS ITEM. I WILL SECOND A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKLIN TO APPROVE THE 2620968 PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION, A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CLOUTIER. MR. FRANKLIN. THERE YOU GO.

THERE WE GO. HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT

[26-0969 Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Concession and Lease Agreement with Creative Hospitality Solutions, LLC for Airport Terminal Food and Beverage Concessions at McKinney National Airport]

[00:15:06]

THEY'RE THE PROVIDER THAT WE SELECTED THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS FOR FOOD AND BEVERAGES IN THE TERMINAL. THIS WILL BE A REVENUE GENERATING CONTRACT. THERE'S NO FUNDS THAT THE CITY IS PUTTING IN UNDER THE CONTRACT. IT'S A THREE YEAR TERM WITH TWO ONE YEAR RENEWALS, AND IT IS A PERCENT OF GROSS ON SALES PROJECTIONS. WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, BASED ON THE ALIGNMENTS THAT WE PROJECT FOR YEAR ONE AND YEAR THREE START OUT ABOUT $100,000 A YEAR, GROW TO ABOUT 400,000 A YEAR THROUGH BY, BY YEAR THREE. ASSUMING WE HAVE ABOUT 450,000 ENPLANEMENTS, WHICH IS THE KIND OF THE ACTIVITY LEVELS WE'VE BEEN USING FOR PLANNING THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT. YOU KNOW, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. QUESTIONS REGARDING HOSPITALITY.

YEAH, I HAVE A COUPLE. SO, KEN, CAN YOU TELL US HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE THIS TENANT TO BE APPROVED? I MEAN, HOW MANY DID YOU LOOK AT? YEAH, WE DID AN RFP THROUGH THE CITY'S FORMAL PROCESS. I THINK WE HAD EIGHT, EIGHT PROPOSALS. WE WHITTLED THAT DOWN TO TWO. WE SENT OUT SOME QUESTIONNAIRES SPECIFIC TO EACH ONE'S PROPOSAL, KIND OF REGROUP WITH THE COMMITTEE, AND ULTIMATELY MADE A SELECTION FOR THIS GROUP. THE THINGS I THE THINGS I THINK THE COMMITTEE LIKED ABOUT THEM WERE THEY WERE ALREADY IN THE AREA. THEY THEY HAD SOME EXPERIENCE IN THE AVIATION SPACE. THEY'RE ACTUALLY. I THINK THIS GROUP IS RUNNING THE KITCHEN AT SOUTHWEST AIRLINES AND. OFFICES. SO THEY HAVE A KITCHEN, YOU KNOW, SPACE TO PULL FROM IN THE REGION. AND ULTIMATELY THEY JUST KIND OF ROSE TO THE TOP AS THE BEST PROPOSAL THROUGH THE RFP PROCESS. YEAH, I'D LOVE TO SEE LIKE A PRESENTATION ON WHAT SEPARATES THEM AND MADE THEM ONE OF YOUR FINALISTS. DID THEY COMMIT TO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FOR THE AIRPORT IN THE SENSE THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE FIRST TIME THAT PEOPLE COME IN TO MCKINNEY IN A WHILE, THAT THEIR FIRST VISIT, ARE THEY GOING TO HIGHLIGHT MCKINNEY BUSINESSES, SMALL BUSINESSES? IS THERE A FACTOR THERE THAT. YES, WHEN THEY PLAN TO USE SOME, THEY'LL HAVE SOME LOCAL KIND OF COFFEE VENDOR AND LOCAL FOOD SOURCES AND ALSO SOME LOCAL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT, LIKE SOUVENIR TYPE THINGS, BUT THEY HAVE A LOCAL PRESENCE. ACTUALLY, THEY'RE CALLING THEIR THEIR CONCEPT IS SQUARE AND SKY TO KIND OF PLAY OFF THE MCKINNEY SQUARE. SO THE RENDERINGS THEY HAD IN THEIR PROPOSAL KIND OF PLAYED OFF OF THAT. PERFECT. SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT SET THEM APART FROM, IN YOUR OPINION THAT AND BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW AS A COUNCIL, I GUESS I WAS EXPECTING MAYBE A, A DEEPER DIVE OR AT LEAST A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION TO SEE WHAT IT WAS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, MAYBE A RENDERING OR SOMETHING. BUT IT'S JUST LIKE, I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE JUST BLOWN THROUGH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT THEY DID.

THEY BASICALLY TOOK THE RENDERINGS FROM, WELL, I DON'T HAVE THAT PRESENTATION UP ANYMORE, BUT THEY TOOK OURS AND KIND OF IMPOSED THEIR YEAH, THEIR, THEIR BRANDING OR THEIR LOGO INFORMATION OVER THAT PICTURE. SO THEY USE THAT AS KIND OF THE BASIS IN THE PROPOSAL FOR, FOR THE RENDERINGS THAT THEY INCLUDED. YEAH. SO THEY'RE, THEY ARE, THEY ARE PLAYING UP A LOCAL PRESENCE. THEY'RE USING LOCAL SOURCING AND THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE SPACE. THEY ALSO HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCE GOING THROUGH THE BACKGROUND CHECKS TO BE IN THE SECURED AREA, BE IN THE SITE AREAS. SO THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO US, TO SOMEBODY THAT COULD HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. SO WE FIGURED YOU YOU GUYS HAVE PHYSICALLY MET WITH THEM OR IS IT JUST ON PAPER? THEY WERE OUT AND TOURED THE SITE FRIDAY OR THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. YEAH. I WISH I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT SOME RENDERINGS NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, BUT I DIDN'T. BUT OKAY. I WAS ON THE COMMITTEE. BARRY WAS ON THE COMMITTEE. WE'RE WE'RE IMPRESSED WITH THEM. THEY ROSE TO THE TOP. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU SAID THREE YEAR INITIAL TERM WITH ONE YEAR OPTIONS. IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? THE TERMS FOR THREE YEAR PERIOD. IT IS A PROPOSED AS A THREE YEAR TERM WITH TWO ONE YEAR OPTION FOR RENEWAL. OKAY. IS THERE ANY PROVISION IN THERE FOR CANCELLATION 6090 DAY OUT, OR IS IT JUST A WHOLE FIRM THREE YEAR CONTRACT? THERE IS. WHAT'S THE PROVISION FOR

[00:20:04]

THE SCORE IS LINKED TO THE AGENDA ITEM TONIGHT. AND YOU CAN SEE THE THE SCORING OF THOSE ITEMS. AND SO WE NEGOTIATED OR ASKED QUESTIONS OF THE TOP TWO TO MAKE SURE WE HAD CLARIFICATION. BUT THE THE ONE THAT WAS SELECTED WAS FAIRLY CLEARLY SELECTED BY THE COMMITTEE. AND WE CAN SHARE SOME MORE DETAILS ON IT. BUT THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT BECAUSE YOU SAID IT WAS CLEAR. I MEAN, OUT OF THE THREE ITEMS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE AIRPORT TODAY, TO ME, THAT'S PROBABLY THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM ON HERE. AND IT'S THE ONE THAT WE HAVE THE WE GOT A VISUAL FROM THE LAST ONE THAT SHOWS US EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON WITH THE 400 K, BUT WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING FOR THIS ONE. SO I WAS JUST WANTING TO KNOW. YEAH. WELL, THIS IS A STANDARD PROCESS FOR SELECTION OF A VENDOR. SO WE, WE GO THROUGH THE SIMILAR PROCESS FOR RESPONDENTS. AND WE HAVE A SCORING COMMITTEE. WE BRING IT TO THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. YEAH. I WOULD SUGGEST WE TABLE THIS. I'VE GOT A QUESTION ABOUT THE CANCELLATION. I MEAN I'M I'M ASSUMING THERE'S CANCELLATION CLAUSES IN THERE.

BUT BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW 90, 120 DAYS. I MEAN, THAT THAT'S A PERTINENT FACT FOR ME. SO I MEAN, I, I'M I WOULD SUGGEST POSSIBLE TABLING THIS BECAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME QUESTIONS IS TABLING IT THOUGH. WE'VE GOT FLIGHTS COMING UP IN A LITTLE BIT OVER A MONTH. IS THAT PUTTING THESE FIRST FLIGHTS AT RISK OF NOT HAVING CONCESSIONS IF WE TABLE IT? SO I WOULD SAY THAT THAT'S ABSOLUTELY THE CASE, AS SOME OF YOU ARE PROBABLY AWARE, WHEN WE FIRST RELEASED THE RFP FOR CONCESSIONS AT THE AIRPORT, WE ONLY HAD TWO RESPONDENTS. THE REASON FOR THAT IS AT THAT TIME, WE DIDN'T HAVE GOOD NUMBERS OF FLIGHTS. WE DIDN'T WE HADN'T RELEASED THE SCHEDULE OF FLIGHTS FOR AVELO, OUR PARTNER. AND SO A LOT OF PEOPLE DID NOT SUBMIT. SO WE HAD TO REJECT ALL THE BIDS OR REJECT ALL THE RESPONDENTS AND PUT IT BACK OUT FOR THE MARKET. AT THAT TIME, WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE WITH THEM THE AT. I THINK WE ONLY HAD THE FIVE ROUTES ANNOUNCED AT THAT TIME, BUT THAT ASSURANCE OF HAVING ROUTES GOT US EIGHT RESPONDENTS THE SECOND TIME THROUGH. SO WE ARE IN A BIT OF A TIME CRUNCH BECAUSE OF THAT FIRST SUBMITTAL. I WILL TELL YOU OF THE TWO THAT SUBMITTED THE FIRST TIME AROUND. NEITHER ONE REALLY MET THE NEEDS OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, WHICH WAS KIND OF A MCKINNEY FRONT DOOR CONCESSIONAIRE, SOMEONE WHO SHOWCASED THE CITY. ONE OF THEM ACTUALLY DIDN'T EVEN PROVIDE FOOD. THEY WERE MORE OF AN APP BASED ORDERING SYSTEM. SO WE DIDN'T GET GOOD RESPONDENTS. AND THAT PUT US A LITTLE BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL. I WILL SAY THAT TO MR. LYNCH'S QUESTION. I'M CERTAIN THAT WE DO HAVE I DON'T HAVE IT HERE IN FRONT OF ME. WE DO HAVE A CANCELLATION FOR THE LACK OF PERFORMANCE, AND THEY PROBABLY ALSO HAVE A CANCELLATION FOR LACK OF, YOU KNOW, SUCCESS WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DAYS NOTICE. SO TO THAT QUESTION, I'M CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE THAT IN THE CONTRACT, THE THE PHOTOS AND INFORMATION THAT MR. JONES IS ASKING FOR. GENERALLY, THE SPACE YOU'RE LOOKING AT ON THE SCREEN HERE IS WHAT IS BEING PROVIDED THAT IS BEING PROVIDED BY THE AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION TEAM AND NOT BY THE VENDOR. THE VENDOR IS GOING TO COME IN AND UTILIZE OUR SPACE. THEY BRING IN THE POINT OF SALE SYSTEM, AND THEN THEY USE THE EQUIVALENT EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE PROVIDING FOR THEM, BY AND LARGE, FOR THINGS LIKE WALK IN FREEZERS AND, AND COOKING. THERE'S NO BUILD OUT THAT THEY'RE DOING. THEY'RE NOT NEEDING TO DO BUILD OUT. BUT EVEN EVEN WITH APPROVAL TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO BE HARD PRESSED GETTING THEM OPERATING BY THE FIRST FLIGHT. YES, SIR. AND THE OTHER THING THAT I KIND OF ABSORBED, BECAUSE I WAS KIND OF ROSY EYED ABOUT THIS WHEN IT STARTED. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE THING GOING INTO A MAJOR AIRPORT LIKE DFW AND LOVE AND HAVING CONSTANT TRAFFIC, CONSTANT FLIGHTS GOING OFF. BUT HERE WE ARE, A SMALL AIRPORT AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FEW FLIGHTS A DAY. AND SO STAFFING A CONCESSION PLACE LIKE THIS HAS GOT TO BE A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGING FISCALLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT MAY BE ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO BEFORE THE NEXT WAVE OF 100 PEOPLE COME IN, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE A FEW FLIGHTS A DAY. AND I, I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT PLANES THAT ARE DISEMBARKING ARE NOT REALLY AVAILING THEMSELVES OF THE CONCESSION. THEY'RE GOING TO

[00:25:02]

KEEPSAKES OR TCHOTCHKES THAT YOU COULD BUY, YOU KNOW, A MCKINNEY SNOW GLOBE OR WHAT, WHAT WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, THOSE ARE THINGS WE ASKED FOR. AND I THINK THREE OF OUR VENDORS DID A GREAT JOB OF COMING BACK WITH THOSE TYPES OF CONCEPTS. AND THIS ONE FLOATED TO THE TOP. AND TO SPEAK TO WHAT MR. CALI SAID, THEY HAVE LOCAL COMMISSARIES SO THEY CAN DO A LOT OF THEIR FOOD PREP ELSEWHERE AND BRING PREPACKAGED FOODS, WHICH WAS A A POSITIVE HERE. AND THEN THEIR MENU WAS INCLUDED EVERYTHING FROM COFFEE TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES TO HOT PREPARED FOODS ON SITE. SO WE'RE FROM A STAFF LEVEL. WE'RE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THIS VENDOR. IF THE COUNCIL SEES FIT TO WANT TO LOOK DEEPER, WE CAN ABSOLUTELY DO ABSOLUTELY DO THAT. BUT THERE ARE SOME TIME CONSTRAINTS. NO, I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU GUYS DID A GOOD JOB.

I WAS JUST YOU KNOW, MY CONCERN IS JUST THE THE PUBLIC, RIGHT? BECAUSE IF THE POWERPOINTS AND STUFF WAS IN THIS PUBLIC RECORD, THEY COULD PULL IT UP AND THEY COULD SEE IT, BUT THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO, YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT I'M HAVING. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THAT OUT IN PUBLIC BEFORE THOSE QUESTIONS ARE ASKED. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU GUYS DID YOUR DUE DILIGENCE, BUT IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IF I, IF I'M ON A WEBSITE AND I CLICK ON THE BUTTON, THERE'S NOTHING THERE BUT A SCORING REPORT. AND SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO THE AVERAGE PERSON? SO, BUT THANK YOU, THANK YOU. HOW MUCH HOW MUCH ROOM DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO ADD VENDORS IN THIS FOOTPRINT IN THIS SQUARE FOOTAGE? YEAH. TO ADD VENDORS. LIKE IF YOU PUT THIS ONE IN, ARE THERE OTHER AREAS YOU CAN PUT? SO UNDER OUR CURRENT CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM, THIS IS THE ONLY VENDOR STAFFED CONCESSIONAIRE IN THE AIRPORT. SO SOME OF OUR RESPONDENTS ACTUALLY HAD REALLY GOOD PRODUCTS, BUT THEY WERE VERY LIMITED. YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT JUST HAVE DESSERTS OR THEY MIGHT JUST HAVE. I THINK WE HAD ONE THAT WAS A HOT DOG VENDOR. AND THOSE WOULD BE FINE IN AN AIRPORT THAT HAD MULTIPLE VENDORS WHERE YOU HAD CHOICES. BUT BECAUSE THIS WAS THE ONLY VENDOR WE HAVE, WE HAD TO GO WITH SOMEONE WHO HAD A BROAD BASE OF PRODUCTS AND, AND A WIDE MENU BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONLY ONE IN ADDITION TO THIS SPACE. AND I THINK AT OUR NEXT MEETING, YOU'LL SEE WE ALSO HAD AN RFP FOR VENDING MACHINES. AND SO OUR VENDING MACHINE SPACE IS GOING TO HAVE THREE VENDING MACHINES ON THE SECURE SIDE. THAT WILL BE KIND OF YOUR SNACKS AND DRINKS, YOUR TRAVEL NECESSITIES. SO IF YOU FORGOT YOUR CHAPSTICK OR YOUR EARBUDS OR YOUR CHARGER FOR YOUR PHONE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND THEN THERE WILL ALSO BE TWO VENDING MACHINES ON THE THE NON-SECURE SIDE OVER BY BAGGAGE CLAIM. SO THAT'LL BE COMING IN IN TWO WEEKS FOR APPROVAL. BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE STRUGGLES WE HAVE WITH THIS TIGHT SPACE IS WE

[00:30:01]

IT'S IT'S A COMMITTEE THAT SCORES INDEPENDENTLY SO WE DON'T GET TOGETHER AND COLLUDE AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS MY BUSINESS. IT IS VERY KIND OF HANDS OFF AND JUST, YOU KNOW, SCORE BASED ON WHAT THE SUBMITTALS ARE. AND OVERALL, WHEN WE CAME TOGETHER AFTER SCORING INDEPENDENTLY, WE ALL KIND OF FELL TO THE TOP 2 OR 3 AND LANDED ON THIS ONE AS THE TOP SCORE. ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILMAN LYNCH, ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THE 30 DAY OUT? OKAY. VERY GOOD. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MR. MAYOR? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM. I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTS TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION. AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CLOUTIER. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES.

[26-0970 Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Rental Car Concession Agreement with Enterprise Holdings, LLC dba Enterprise Mobility for the McKinney National Airport (TKI) Commercial Terminal]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU HAVE A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE APPROVE ITEM 26-0970. WE HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKLIN TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED BY STAFF. SECOND.

SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTS. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES. KEN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ALL OF YOUR PRESENTATIONS. WE APPRECIATE IT. NEXT ITEM IS

[26-0008A/26-0023Z2 Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Petition to Annex (Case No. 26-0008A) and a Request to Zone (Case No. 26-0023Z) the Subject Property to “PD” - Planned Development, Generally to allow for Residential Uses and Modify Development Standards, Located on the West Side of County Road 161 and Approximately 1,350 feet North of County Road 124, and Accompanying Ordinance(s)]

[00:35:02]

15FT IS THE FRONT YARD SETBACK IN THE UDC, AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING REDUCING THAT DOWN TO FIVE. THE IMPLICATION OF THAT IS THAT IT NEGATES THE SHADE CANOPY TREE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY HAS FOR THIS HOUSING TYPOLOGY, WHICH WE FEEL LIKE IS IMPORTANT FOR QUALITY OF LIFE, TO HAVE SHADE TREES ALONG SIDEWALKS IN OUR SINGLE FAMILY TOWNHOME NEIGHBORHOODS. AND SO TO ACCOMMODATE THE FIVE FOOT FRONT YARD SETBACK REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT, THEY WOULD ALSO REQUEST A REDUCTION IN THE LANDSCAPE STANDARDS TO PROVIDE ORNAMENTAL TREES. AND THEN THEY WOULD PROVIDE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF CANOPY TREES IN CLUSTERS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AS MENTIONED, THAT DOES NOT MEET THE INTENT OF THE UDC STANDARDS, AND SO STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT THE ZONING FOR THAT REASON. OTHER THAN THAT, IF THE APPLICANT WERE TO FOLLOW THE R3 AND R5 ZONES, AS MENTIONED IN THE UDC, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL, AND I WILL MENTION THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, WHEN REVIEWING THIS CASE, VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST AS THEY'VE PRESENTED IT.

I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. LUCAS, HOW DO WE GET. HOW BIG ARE THE LOTS THAT WOULD HAVE THIS FIVE FOOT SETBACK? THERE ARE 3000FT■S. AND SO THAT NEW R-3 RESIDENTIAL ZONE WAS PUT INTO PLACE IN LIGHT OF THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION IN 2025, WHICH PROVIDED THAT ANY CITY MAY NOT REQUIRE A MINIMUM SINGLE FAMILY LOT LARGER THAN 3000FT■!S IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT PLATTED, THAT IS ALSO GREATER THAN FIVE ACRES. OKAY, THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT STIPULATIONS, BUT THIS PROPERTY IS GREATER THAN FIVE ACRES. IT'S NOT PLATTED. AND SO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY ADDED THE R-3 ZONING DISTRICT TO PROVIDE FOR THE INTENT OF THAT STATE LAW.

RIGHT. SO MY WORDS, NOT YOURS, BUT THE STATE'S CRAMMING THIS DOWN OUR THROAT IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, MANDATING THESE 3000 FOOT LOTS. AND THEN IT'S UP TO US TO WORK THROUGH THEM. AND IT'S UP TO OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS TO WORK THROUGH THEM AS TO WHAT'S A WORKABLE WAY TO DO THIS. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWER, THOUGH. THANK YOU. SO GIVEN THAT SIZE, THEY EITHER HAVE TO BE VERY LONG AND NARROW HOMES OR TINY HOMES, AM I CORRECT? TINY HOMES? I WOULD SAY NO, BUT THEY WOULD BE THEY WOULD BE SMALL HOMES OR TO YOUR POINT, NARROW, NARROW LOTS THAT HAVE A LOT MORE DEPTH. OKAY. AND THE APPLICANT, I BELIEVE IN THEIR PRESENTATION SHOWS EXACTLY WHAT THEIR PRODUCT IS. I'LL RESERVE QUESTIONS FOR THAT THEN. THANK YOU. LUCAS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS OUR APPLICANT HERE? YES. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JOHN ARNOLD. I'M WITH SCOREBOARD COMPANY. OUR ADDRESS IS 8214 WEST CHESTER STREET, DALLAS, TEXAS, 75225. I'M HERE TO PRESENT A PLAN DEVELOPMENT ON THE SYSCO TRACT. OUR OWNERS

[00:40:07]

WE'VE DONE OVER 130 PROJECTS IN THE LAST 40 YEARS, DEVELOPED 7000 LOTS. WE HAVE 20 PLUS ACTIVE PROJECTS RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE WORKING. WE HAVE WORKED OR WORKING WITH 30 PLUS DIFFERENT DFW MUNICIPALITIES. SOME PROJECTS WE'VE DONE IN MCKINNEY. THIS IS A PROJECT THAT'S ACTUALLY IN HOME SALES RIGHT NOW, PROVIDENCE COVE, IT'S RIGHT NEAR HARDIN LAKES.

IT'S EAST OF HARDIN, JUST SOUTH OF VIRGINIA. IT WAS ABOUT 30 ACRES. THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WE TOOK OVER KIND OF AFTER IT WAS ALREADY PLATTED IN ZONED. THE OWNER COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT DEVELOPED. SO WE CAME IN, WORKED WITH STAFF TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THIS, THIS ON THE GROUND. WE DID ABOUT 62, 50 FOOT LOTS, 3260S. OUR BUILDERS IN THAT WERE GRAND AND WINDSOR HOMES, WHO IS OUR SISTER BUILDING COMPANY. THE HOME PRICES THAT RANGED FROM AROUND 600 UP TO 1.2. A LITTLE OLDER PROJECT, THE PRESERVE AT LAKE FOREST. THIS WAS A 28 ACRE SITE, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, WE REALLY ONLY DEVELOPED ABOUT 8 OR 9 ACRES. MOST OF THIS WAS FLOODPLAIN. THIS WAS 25 LOTS TREES WAS TREES. CUSTOM HOMES WAS OUR BUILDER. THIS WAS PROBABLY DELIVERED IN 2018. HOME PRICES WERE ABOUT 450 TO 850. THEN ON THESE 25 FOOT LOTS SAW WOOD TERRACES. THIS WAS A WINDSOR HOMES TOWNHOME PROJECT THAT WE DELIVERED PROBABLY ABOUT 2016 SOLD OUT IN 2020, IT WAS 51 LOTS ON 12 ACRES ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF VIRGINIA PARKWAY AND HARDIN. ROBINSON RIDGE. THIS PROJECT IS ACTUALLY RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. I WASN'T INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT. IT WAS BUILT AND FINISHED OUT. I ACTUALLY, WHEN I WAS IN CONSTRUCTION, I ACTUALLY BUILT A COUPLE ROADS IN THIS BEFORE I STARTED WORKING FOR SCHAUBERGER, BUT THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT STARTED BEFORE THE RECESSION IN 2007 AND MADE IT ACTUALLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH GRANHOLM'S MEGA TELL, GILLEN AND PAUL TAYLOR, THERE'S ABOUT 820 LOTS. AND SO OUR PROPERTY, IF YOU CAN SEE, IS JUST DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET. IT SHOULD KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED IT, BUT IT'S THE POND ACROSS RIDGE ROAD. SO WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA. SO THE COTTAGE LOT AND REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS, I'LL GET IN A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE DETAIL ON THE PRODUCT ITSELF A LITTLE LATER. BUT THIS IS A PROJECT THAT IS JUST DELIVERING IN CORINTH. IT'S ACTUALLY THE SECOND PROJECT THAT WE'VE DONE IN CORINTH. THE FIRST PROJECT IS ACTUALLY ACROSS THE STREET, JUST TO THE SOUTH OF. IT WAS SUCH A SUCCESS WITH THIS PRODUCT THAT THE CITY ASKED US TO REPEAT THIS PRODUCT ON ANOTHER SITE, JUST TO THE SOUTH OF IT. SO IT'S ABOUT 56 ACRES, A TOTAL OF 310 LOTS, 170 OF THEM WERE COTTAGE LOTS, 86 WERE PATIO HOMES, 50 AND SIX, 5460S AND 70S. AND WE KIND OF HAD THE SAME SIMILAR SITUATION HERE ON THIS PRODUCT. WE HAD SOME OLDER HOUSING STOCK AROUND THIS PROJECT. SO WE DID KIND OF A TRANSITIONAL ZONING AND PUT THE 30 FOOT PRODUCT KIND OF IN INTERIOR, KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. WE HAVE RIDGE ROAD ACROSS THE STREET. WE HAVE SOME SINGLE FAMILY R5 THAT ARE GOING TO BE ACROSS FROM THE FLOODPLAIN FROM US, AND WE DON'T KNOW REALLY WHAT'S GOING TO COME TO THE SOUTH. SO WE KIND OF INSULATED THAT WITH THE 50S AROUND THE SIDE, AND WE'RE DOING THESE 30S ON THE INTERIOR, MUCH LIKE WE DID HERE. MERITAGE HOMES DID THE 30 FOOT PRODUCT ON THIS ONE. WINDSOR HOMES, OUR SISTER BUILDER WAS IN THIS AND HISTORY MAKER HOMES, THOSE PRICED FROM 360 TO 670. AND THAT LIKE I SAID, IT'S JUST DELIVERING THIS YEAR. THIS IS MONARCH AND MELISSA. THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY WORKED ON FOR MULTIFAMILY MULTIPLE TIMES. AND WE CAME IN WITH THE LANDOWNERS AND TOOK THIS PRODUCT, PURCHASED IT WITH

[00:45:02]

IT FIT THE AREA PRETTY WELL. THERE WAS SOME INDUSTRIAL TO THE SOUTH AND A MOBILE HOME TRAILER PARK TO THE TO THE SOUTH, ASHFORD PARK. THIS WAS KIND OF THE PROJECT THAT STARTED THIS PROCESS. THIS WAS THE ONE JUST ACROSS FROM OAK POINT ON THE SOUTH SIDE. IT WAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY ENTITLED. IN MAY 2024, HOMES WERE PRETTY MUCH FINISHED BY THEN, BUT IT WAS 208 COTTAGE LOTS AND 86 PATIO HOMES. TOTAL OF 455 LOTS ON 82 ACRES. OUR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT SINCE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. PUT THIS UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE SYSCO'S IN 2025. OUR INTENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND ALWAYS IS. IF WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH THE PROJECT AND EACH EDGE IS TO TRY TO COME INTO THE CITY WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE PROJECT FOR US AND FOR THE CITY. SO WE KNEW THE PROCESS WAS GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE LONGER. WE STARTED OUR PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS WITH THE CITY IN JANUARY. AGAIN, AS WE SAID, WE CAME TO PNC IN JUNE. ON JUNE 23RD, PLANNING AND ZONING. HER PITCH. WE HAD NICE QUESTION AND ANSWER AND THEY WERE APPROVED. OUR PROPOSAL WITH VARIANCES SEVEN ZERO. SO HERE TONIGHT WE'RE HERE REQUESTING FROM COUNCIL FOR ANNEXATION, OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND OUR ZONING. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. LUCAS WENT OVER THIS BUT QUICKLY. AND WE'RE IN MCKINNEY ETJ FUTURE MULTIFAMILY TO THE NORTH OF US. WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM ON THE RIDGE ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND WATER LINE IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL. WE'RE TALKING TO THEM ETJ TO THE SOUTH OF US, SOME MULTIFAMILY ON WILMOT ROAD, JUST TO THE SOUTHWEST OF US, AND SINGLE FAMILY ACROSS THE FLOODPLAIN IN THE FUTURE, 380 BYPASS THERE. AND THEN KIND OF SURROUNDING ALL THAT ON THE FUTURE. 380 BYPASS IS A MIXED USE SUBDIVISION. AND AS LUCAS SAID, STAFF AGREES THAT RESIDENTIAL USE R3 DEVELOPMENT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN, AND THE PROJECT ACHIEVES COUNCIL'S GOAL OF GLOBAL HOUSING STRATEGY BY PROVIDING DIFFERENTIATED PRODUCT. WHAT COUNCIL IS DECIDING. ESSENTIALLY, WHAT WE'RE DECIDING ON IS A PRODUCT THAT DOESN'T FIT IN THAT R3 BOX. SO STATE MANDATED 3000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS. ALL THE CITIES COME IN AND SAY, OKAY, WELL, WHAT'S THE BEST WAY WE CAN PUT THIS TOGETHER? SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT A DISTRICT ON THERE. WELL, THAT DOESN'T FIT EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT CITY'S CONVENTIONAL, YOU KNOW, R3 ZONING DOES ALLOW A 3000 SQUARE FOOT LOT, BUT IT DOESN'T ALLOW THIS PRODUCT, THIS DETACHED COTTAGE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE REQUEST IS FUNDAMENTALLY A PROJECT IN A LOCATION WHERE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS APPROPRIATE.

STAFF CONFIRMS THAT THE R3, R3 RESIDENTIAL ZONING ALIGNS WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A DIFFERENT LAND USE TO ATTEMPTING TO PLACE INCOMPATIBLE DENSITY IN THIS LOCATION. THE ISSUE IS WHETHER THE CITY WILL ALLOW A SPECIFIC, PROVEN, DETACHED COTTAGE COTTAGE PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT FIT NEATLY WITHIN THOSE CONFINES OF THE ORDINANCE. AS WE SAID, ALL OF OUR 50 FOOT LOTS MEET THE REQUIRED R R5 STANDARDS. THESE REQUESTS ARE ONLY TO THE COTTAGE PRODUCT. SO WE'RE REALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT DOES THIS DO WE WANT THIS PRODUCT OR DO WE WANT A DIFFERENT PRODUCT? SOME OF THE PRODUCT THAT'S BEEN DONE IN THE ETJ ON THESE 30 FOOT LOTS, I'LL SHOW YOU IN A SECOND. BUT OUR CONCEPT PLAN AGAIN, LUCAS DIDN'T REALLY GO THROUGH THIS. WE'RE ATTACHING THIS INTO THE INTO THE PD. WE'VE GOT A 50 FOOT LOT SURROUNDING THE BORDER OF IT. AND THEN WE'VE GOT THESE 30 FOOT LOTS THAT ARE ALLEY SERVED ON THE INTERIOR. THERE'S ONE THERE'S 77 COTTAGE LOTS, 56 PATIO LOTS. OUR BUILDER IS

[00:50:03]

[00:55:05]

WE'RE GOING TO BE RELOCATED IN OTHER AREAS. SO YOU'LL HAVE 77 CANOPY TREES PLACED IN THE FLOODPLAIN OPEN SPACE, ADDITIONAL ON THE FRONTAGE TO THE PICTURE TO THE LEFT IS AN EXAMPLE OF. WE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE IN CORINTH WITH TREES. THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD CANOPY TREES AS WELL IN THE SUBDIVISION FOR THE REQUIREMENT. SO WE. THERE'S OPEN SPACES CREATED TO INTENTIONALLY SPREAD THE TREES OUT SO THEY COULD GROW TO MATURITY. ALSO, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A FRONT YARD WITH ITS 30 FOOT WIDE WITH A WITH A SIDEWALK IN THE FRONT AND A SIDEWALK LEADING UP TO THE HOUSE. THERE'S A LOT OF CONFLICTS WITH THE STRUCTURES, UTILITIES. SO THOSE THOSE CANOPY TREES ARE NOT GOING TO THRIVE IN THOSE FRONT YARDS.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THERE'S TREES ALONG THESE FRONT YARDS AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE HOW THOSE SCREENING. WE ARE WE ARE IN FULL AGREEMENT TO DO THE MASONRY SCREENING WALL ON THE FRONT ALONG RIDGE ROAD AND MEET ALL LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS ALONG RIDGE ROAD. THE MAIN ITEM OF CONTENTION IS THE SCREENING ALONG THE FLOODPLAIN. IT CALLS FOR A MASONRY SCREENING WALL ALONG THE FLOODPLAIN. ALONG THAT FLOODPLAIN, WE HAVE FLOODPLAIN. WE HAVE A NATURAL TREE BUFFER, AND THEN WE HAVE THE FUTURE 380 BYPASS. THERE'S ALMOST 600 FOOT BETWEEN US AND THAT FUTURE 380 BYPASS. AND WE BELIEVE ADDING A. A MASONRY WALL TO THESE BACKYARDS WILL COMPLETELY BLOCK OFF THE VIEW AND BE A DETRIMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AND ALL THESE HOUSES THAT ARE FACING THE FLOODPLAIN. THEN I'LL GO THROUGH SOME REPRESENTATIVE PRODUCT AND WRAP UP. SO THIS IS PRODUCT THAT'S IN THE ONE OF OUR CURRENT DEALS. YOU CAN SEE HOW THEY KIND OF INTERACT WITH THE STREET. SOME ARE MORE FORWARD, SOME ARE RECESSED A LITTLE BIT. SO NOT EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE LIKE RIGHT AT FIVE FOOT OFF THE FRONT SETBACK. SEE THIS ONE HAS PLANTER BEDS IN THE FRONT AND THAT COMES RIGHT UP TO THAT FIVE FOOT. THE PLAN PRESENTED TONIGHT IS RESULTS OF MONTHS OF COLLABORATION WITH STAFF AND CITY STAKEHOLDERS. THEIR FEEDBACK AND GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS HELPED SHAPE PROPOSED THE PROPOSED PLAN TO PRODUCING THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR THE SITE. THE VARIANCE REQUESTS ARE NOT LIMITED IN SCOPE, ARE LIMITED IN SCOPE AND AIM TO DELIVER A HIGH QUALITY, WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE REDUCED SETBACK ON THE 30 FOOT LOTS ALLOWS BROWNSTONE STYLE PRODUCT.

THE LANDSCAPING PLAN KEEPS THE CITY'S CANOPY TREE GOALS BY MOVING THE CANOPY TREES TO COMMON AREAS WHERE THEY CAN FULLY MATURE, AND THE SCREENING APPROACH WORKS WITH THE SITE'S NATURAL FLOODPLAIN BUFFER AND 380 BYPASS SCOREBOARD IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A HIGH QUALITY RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE VISION AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT THAT WILL PROVIDE A LASTING BENEFITS TO THE CITY. THROUGHOUT, THOUGHTFUL DESIGN, EXPANDED HOUSING CHOICE, AND ENHANCED OPEN SPACE AND COMPATIBLE NEIGHBORHOOD AND DEVELOPMENT. AND ONE THING I'LL KIND OF WRAP UP, ONE THING I JUST WANT TO MENTION, THIS PRODUCT IS FOUND IN LIKE CRAIG RANCH AND PANTRY. WITH THESE SHORTER SETBACKS, THE R-3 ZONING WAS A GENERAL FOR THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY. AND WE BELIEVE THAT IF THIS WAS THROWN INTO ROBINSON RIDGE 20 YEARS AGO AND PUT TOGETHER AS A PD, THIS COULD EASILY, EASILY BE PART OF A PD. YOU'VE GOT SINGLE FAMILY TO YOUR EAST, YOU'VE GOT MULTI-FAMILY OR NORTH. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN PART OF A LARGER PD. WE JUST BELIEVE THIS COTTAGE PRODUCT IS.

ENHANCES THE. AND IT'S. AND IT'S A PROVEN PRODUCT. THANK YOU. I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS.

[01:00:04]

YOU KNOW, THE SETBACK ACTUALLY DOES NOT BOTHER ME AT ALL. THIS LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE WHAT WE SEE IN CRAIG RANCH RIGHT NEXT TO THE GOLF COURSE. SO THOSE HOUSES DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A SETBACK. IT HAS NOT PROHIBITED PEOPLE FROM PURCHASING HOUSES OVER THERE. IT'S STILL A VERY NICE ESTHETICALLY PLEASING NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT. AND IT MAKES IT LOWER MAINTENANCE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE MOWING AND YOU'RE JUST WORKING ON FLOWERBEDS, YOU'RE REPLACING FLOWERBEDS EVERY COUPLE MONTHS, YOU'RE NOT MOWING A FULL YARD EVERY MONTH.

I THINK THE BIGGEST BENEFIT FOR US ALSO IS THAT IT'S ANNEXED. I MEAN, WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF PRODUCT BEING BUILT OUT IN THE ETJ. LIKE YOU SAID, THE STANDARDS ARE NOT REMOTELY CLOSE TO THIS, AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE THAT. WE KNOW THESE FOLKS ARE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A MCKINNEY ADDRESS, WHETHER THEY'RE IN ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OR THEY'RE NOT ANNEXED INTO THE CITY. AND THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR US IN TERMS OF TAXPAYERS CONTRIBUTION TO OUR ROADS AND LIBRARIES AND PARKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO THE SETBACK FOR ME IS NOT SO MUCH OF A A DOWNSIDE WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THOSE UPSIDES TO THIS. SO. ANYONE ELSE OTHER COMMENTS? AS A MAN WHO LIKES HIS SPACE, I'M NOT TEMPTED TO MOVE TO A 3000 FOOT LOT. BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, HOUSES ARE THREE THINGS THEIR LAND, THEIR PARTS AND THEIR LABOR. AND WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE MITIGATED SIGNIFICANTLY THE LAND, WHICH GIVES PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A HOME WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT. THE LACK OF CANOPY TREES MAY NOT BE GREAT IN 20 YEARS COMPARED TO SOME PLACES, BUT NO ONE IS COMPELLED TO BUY HERE IF THEY WANT CANOPY TREES IN THEIR FRONT YARD. RIGHT. SO SO I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS. IT'S KIND OF A CANARY IN THE COAL MINE TO ME TO SEE HOW IT HOW IT WORKS OUT.

BUT I APPRECIATE YOU SHOWING US THE VARIETY BETWEEN WHAT YOU CAN PROVIDE AND WHAT THE NORMAL ONES, THE LITTLE I'LL CALL THEM A SHOTGUN SHACK, A TWO STORY SHOTGUN SHACK IS THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE THOSE OTHER ONES. AND THOSE ARE SO ESTHETICALLY REPELLING TO ME. SO I'M WILLING TO GIVE THIS ONE A SHOT. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. ANYONE ELSE? YEAH. I'VE WATCHED SCOREBOARD.

I'VE WATCHED HIM BUILD IN OTHER COMMUNITIES. I'VE WATCHED HIM BUILD IN MCKINNEY. THEY ALWAYS DO QUALITY PROJECTS. I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM NOT DO ONE. ALL THE ISSUES HERE, NUMBER ONE, THE BIGGEST TO ME IS ANNEXATION. THEY'RE WILLING TO ANNEX INTO OUR CITY. OKAY. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. AND I'M AFRAID THAT THE NEXT STEP, IF THIS DOESN'T GO THROUGH, YOU'RE ADJACENT TO MULTIFAMILY. THE NEXT IS TO DO MULTIFAMILY HERE ON THIS PROJECT. AND I'VE SEEN ENOUGH MULTIFAMILY IN THAT AREA. I REALIZE WE'VE HAD TO GIVE IT UP BECAUSE THOSE THOSE TRACTS OF LAND WERE OUTSIDE THE CITY. THIS ONE, I LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY'RE COMING IN THE CITY AND, AND WORKING WITH THE CITY AND ALL THAT. I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOUR THOROUGH EXPLANATION. THIS IS

[01:05:04]

HOW ABOUT AS PER APPLICANT REQUEST? YEAH, AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM FOR APPLICANT REQUEST.

SECOND BY DOCTOR FELTUS. DOCTOR FELTUS. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. ALL RIGHT. THAT MOTION CARRIES. ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED. THAT IS OUR LAST PUBLIC HEARING ITEM TONIGHT. WE NOW WILL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON A NON AGENDA ITEM MATTER ANYONE. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO COUNCIL

[COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS]

WE HAVE COLLIN COLLEGE BOND AND MCKINNEY ISD BOND. SO GO READ UP ON THOSE. AND WE'RE 30 DAYS FROM ELECTION DAY FOR THAT. SECOND THING IS I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NATIONAL NIGHT OUT TOMORROW. SO I GOT MY HAT A FANCY HAT. IT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE NIGHTS OF THE WHOLE YEAR. GREAT TIME TO GO GET OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. EVERYBODY'S COMMUNING TOGETHER AND CELEBRATING GOOD MUSIC, GOOD FOOD OUT THERE. SO WE APPRECIATE ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT JOIN TOGETHER TO HOST THE EVENT AND HOST US AS PART OF THAT. ALSO, JUST WANTED TO MENTION ON THURSDAY IS THE MCKINNEY EDUCATION FOUNDATION'S PURSES WITH PURPOSE. AND IF YOU'VE NEVER ATTENDED THAT EVENT, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO.

IT IS SO MUCH FUN, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LADIES. BUT IT IS A FUNDRAISER FOR THE MCKINNEY EDUCATION FOUNDATION, WHICH HELPS TO GO TOWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS FOR OUR GRADUATES HERE IN THE CITY. AND IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT EVENT, A GREAT CAUSE. IT'S GREAT AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO SEE THE RECIPIENTS OF THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS WHO ARE ALWAYS SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

AND AS YOU KNOW, EVEN THE SMALLEST SCHOLARSHIP SURELY GOES A LONG WAY IF YOU'VE EVER SENT A KID TO SCHOOL. SO I WANTED TO THANK THE GROUP OF FOLKS THAT BRING THAT EVENT TOGETHER EVERY YEAR, AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE OUTCOME. I'LL REITERATE WHAT COUNCILMAN JONES SAID ABOUT THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS RECEPTION. THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK WE STARTED LAST YEAR, AND IT REALLY IS IMPRESSIVE TO SEE THE QUALITY OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT ROOM AND JUST THE THE DEPTH OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS, TO HAVE SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE AND SERVE HERE. OUR HUMAN CAPITAL IS VERY UNDERRATED SOMETIMES, AND I'M GLAD I GET A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF IT. AND THE SECOND THING IS, IS VONDA AND I TOOK CHARLOTTE, OUR THIRD GRANDDAUGHTER, TO OKTOBERFEST, AND HELPED THE MAYOR TAP THE KEG, AND HE TAPPED THAT KEG. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, BUT MAN, WE HAD A GREAT TIME OUT THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, JUST JUST SAW A LOT OF FRIENDS AND A LOT OF THE SEEING A LOT OF THE TRADITIONS, IT'S IT'S FUNNY HOW DURING THE KEG TAPPING, EVERYBODY GATHERS AROUND AND YOU'VE NEVER SEEN PEOPLE WANT A FREE BEER WORSE THAN THIS MOMENT OF THEIR LIVES. AND GET THAT MEMORIAL STEIN. AND THIS YEAR, THE MEMORIAL STEINS WERE A LITTLE BIT BELOW PAR BECAUSE I THINK WE HAD A LOGISTICS PROBLEM GETTING THE NEW ONES IN.

BUT MAN, THEY WANT THAT THAT THAT MEMORIAL STEIN. IT'S JUST A COOL MCKINNEY TRADITION. AND THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. WE HAD A BLAST WITH YOU IN DOING THAT. IT WAS A BLAST. HAD A GREAT

[01:10:04]

THANKS TO OUR CITY STAFF FOR ALL THAT THEY DO. I CONTINUE TO PREACH. THEY ARE THE UNSUNG HEROES. WE HAD A DEEP DIVE AT OUR WORK SESSION TODAY ON ON AGENDA ITEMS THAT TYPICALLY WE DON'T INTO. AND THEY ALL STEPPED UP ONE BY ONE AND GAVE THEIR REPORTS AND JUST AS PROFESSIONAL AS THEY COULD BE. AND WE COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF OF WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE. AND MAYOR, CITY MANAGER GRIMES, YOU YOU ARE. IT'S YOUR FAULT. IT'S YOUR FAULT. WE HAVE SUCH GOOD PEOPLE. WE APPRECIATE THAT. AND THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAD THE CHANCE TO SPEAK TO DIFFERENT GROUPS OF MCKINNEY CITIZENS, SOME YOUNGER, SOME NOT SO YOUNG.

AND THE COMMON QUESTION WAS WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT IN MCKINNEY? WHAT MAKES YOU THE MOST EXCITED? AND, AND MY ANSWER IS PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN MCKINNEY AND THE PEOPLE THAT THAT CARE AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE PEOPLE THAT DO WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE MCKINNEY BE WHO IT IS. AND IF YOU STOP AND THINK ABOUT THAT, IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE US SPECIAL. IT'S NOT THE STUFF. IT'S NOT THE BUILDING. IT'S NOT THE, IT'S THE, IT'S NOT THE STUFF. IT'S THE PEOPLE. SO WHEN YOU SEE MCKINNEY CITIZENS GIVING ALL THEY HAVE OF THEIR TIME AND TALENTS AND RESOURCES TO THE CITY, TELL THEM THANK YOU. TELL THE POLICE. THANK YOU, TELL FIRE. THANK YOU THAT FOR WHAT THEY DO. THEY PROTECT US AND AND AND THE CITIZENS. IT'S JUST SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE TO BE. LASTLY, NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, AS WAS REPORTED EARLIER, WE HAVE 35 PARTIES TO GO TO TOMORROW AND DIVIDED BY SEVEN. THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE TO FIVE.

COUNCILMAN CLOUTIER CLOSE, MISTER MAYOR. WE'LL SEE IF WE MAKE THAT. YES, SIR. WE'LL SEE IF WE MAKE THAT, MR. GRIMES.
