WITH MORE PEOPLE FACING HARDSHIP THIS YEAR, THE NEED TO SERVE THOSE MOST VULNERABLE IS GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. IN MCKINNEY. THE SALVATION ARMY IN THIS CITY PROVIDES CHRISTMAS ASSISTANCE TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES.

ITEM.WE'VE HAD WE HAVE THIS ITEM. WE DO LEAVE OFF CHRIS. THE SECOND ONE WE'RE GOING TO ITEM 26-1065.
THIS IS RECOGNITION OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS AS AN OFFICIAL RUNNER FRIENDLY COMMUNITY BY THE ROADRUNNERS OF AMERICA. I APOLOGIZE FOR MISSING THAT ON THE AGENDA. THAT'S MY FAULT. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. MAYOR COX, MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHRIS SHELTON. I'M PRESIDENT OF MCKINNEY RUNNING CLUB. THIS IS EVAN PARSONS, VICE PRESIDENT.
AND SKYLAR SADAT, OUR OUR SECRETARY. TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF THE ROADRUNNERS CLUB OF AMERICA, WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY WITH NATIONAL RECOGNITION AS AN OFFICIAL RRC, A RUNNER FRIENDLY COMMUNITY. THIS DESIGNATION HONORS CITIES WITH A PROVEN COMMITMENT TO HEALTH, SAFETY AND A VIBRANT RUNNING CULTURE. MCKINNEY EARNED THIS DISTINCTION NOT ONLY FOR OUR PHENOMENAL TRAIL NETWORKS AND PARKS, BUT BECAUSE OF GENUINE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION EXEMPLIFIED BY LANDMARK EVENTS LIKE THE MCKINNEY HISTORIC CAF PUT ON BY THE BMW DALLAS HALF DALLAS MARATHON TEAM AND OFFICIALLY KICKED OFF BY MAYOR COX THIS YEAR, WE ESPECIALLY APPLAUD THE CITY'S FORWARD THINKING LEADERSHIP WITH INITIATIVES LIKE THE SAFE STREETS CITY MCKINNEY PLAN THAT FOCUSES ON MAKING MCKINNEY STREETS SAFER FOR ALL. WHILE OUR CLUB SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION. THIS NATIONAL HONOR BELONGS TO THE ENTIRE CITY, OUR PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT, CITY LEADERS, AND THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO USE MCKINNEY TRAILS EVERY SINGLE DAY. MAYOR COX, I PRESENT TO AND COUNCIL, I PRESENT TO YOU THE PLAQUE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MCKINNEY A WORLD CLASS COMMUNITY TO RUN, WALK AND LIVE. IT'S AWESOME. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AS WELL. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT THIS YEAR.
[00:10:27]
ABSOLUTELY. EXPECT TO SEE YOU NEXT. YEAH. OKAY. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S NICE. OKAY. NEXT ITEM WILL BE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS WITH NO PUBLIC HEARING TINNITUS. ANYONE SIGNED UP? ALL RIGHT THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA. MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO PULL DOWN ITEM 26-1072, AND I'LL MOVE THAT. WE APPROVE THE BALANCE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED BY STAFF. I'LL SECOND. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER PULL DOWNS? ANYONE? ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA WHICH CONSISTS OF ITEM 25-2669 THROUGH 26-1071, AND WE'RE PULLING DOWN FOR DISCUSSION ITEM 26-1072. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS. THAT CORRECT ANY DISCUSSION? NONE. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.THE CONSENT AGENDA HAS BEEN APPROVED. THE ONE ITEM THAT WAS PULLED, COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA.
YEAH. I THINK MR. GILLINGHAM IS GOING TO COME AND VISIT WITH US FOR A LITTLE BIT. GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL RYAN GILLINGHAM, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. SO ITEM 261072, IN SHORT ARE THE BIG PICTURE IS THAT THIS IS ON YOUR AGENDA FOR RATIFICATION. IT'S AN AGREEMENT WITH AQUA TEXAS TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY WATER TO THE MANSIONS OF PROSPER. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU IS THE DETAILS. AND THEN TALK ABOUT THE AGREEMENT AND THEN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. SO AS WAY OF BACKGROUND, THE MANSIONS OF PROSPER. IT'S LOCATED GENERALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF CUSTER AND BLOOMDALE. IT'S LOCATED IN THE CITY'S ETJ. AT THE MANSIONS OF PROSPER, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 500 STRUCTURES. MOST OF THOSE HOMES ARE DUPLEXES, SO THERE'S PROBABLY AROUND 100 PLACES WITHIN THAT DEVELOPMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT WAS BUILT FROM ROUGHLY 2019 TO 2021. A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT THE PROPERTY ITSELF IN TERMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THIS PROPERTY OWNER DID NOT WANT TO ANNEX.
THEY DID NOT SPECIFICALLY WANT TO EXTEND CITY WATER TO THE SITE, AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO PAY IMPACT FEES. SO THEY SOUGHT EXPEDITED RELEASE FROM THE CITY'S WATER CCN. HOWEVER, THOUGH THEY DID NOT RELEASE FROM THE CITY'S SEWER, CCN, THE DEVELOPER BUILT EXACTLY WHAT THE SUBDIVISION CODE REQUIRED SO NO VARIANCES WERE REQUESTED OR AGREEMENTS NEEDED. THEY DID.
AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, BUILD A 12 INCH WATER MAIN ON BLOOMDALE. THEY BUILT THE SOUTHERN HALF OF COUNTY ROAD 123, AS WELL AS THE WESTERN HALF OF COUNTY ROAD 124.
IN ADDITION, AS I NOTED EARLIER, THEY DID NOT RELEASE FROM THE CITY'S SEWER CCN, SO THEY BUILT THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM TO SERVE THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS PART OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY'S SEWER SYSTEM. FOR THE WATER SYSTEM, THE DEVELOPER BUILT TWO WELLS AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT. THESE ARE PRIVATE WELLS. THEY WERE PERMITTED THROUGH THE NORTH TEXAS GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT AND TCU, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY OPERATED BY AQUA TEXAS, WHICH IS A PRIVATE COMPANY THAT OPERATES PRIVATE WATER SYSTEMS. SO ON TO THE EMERGENCY REQUEST FOR WATER. SO ON SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2026, BOTH WELLS SERVING THE PROPERTY FAILED. I GOT A PHONE CALL THAT AFTERNOON WHERE THE AQUA, TEXAS WAS SEEKING EMERGENCY SUPPLY OF WATER FROM THAT. THAT DAY, I CALLED THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. WE DISCUSSED PROVIDING THE WATER, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, TO HELP THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THIS COMPLEX TO SERVE THEM WATER. SO THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT THAT NIGHT GOT SERVICE TO THAT DEVELOPMENT TO PROVIDE THEM WATER. WE ALSO OBTAINED A PERMIT FROM THE TCU
[00:15:08]
IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT INNER EMERGENCY INTERCONNECTION WITH THEIR SYSTEM. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, THE CITY SOUGHT AN AGREEMENT WITH AQUA TEXAS TO PAY FOR THE CITY'S COST INCURRED FOR PROVIDING THAT WATER, WHICH INCLUDES THE COST OF THE WATER, AS WELL AS THE LABOR AND EQUIPMENT THAT WENT INTO PROVIDING THE WATER. THE AGREEMENT IS FOR 120 DAYS AND EXPIRES ON JANUARY 26TH, 2027. IN TERMS OF OPERATIONS, WE'VE PROVIDED THEM WITH APPROXIMATELY 700,000 GALLONS OF WATER TO DATE. THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH GETTING THE WELLS RESTORED. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPACT TO THE CITY'S OPERATION AS THAT THAT AMOUNT OF WATER TO US IS REALLY A SMALL AMOUNT FOR OUR WATER SYSTEM. SO WITH THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. RYAN IS THE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE CHARGING THEM VERSUS WHAT IT COSTS US FOR THE WATER, IS THE MCKINNEY TAXPAYER GETTING HURT BY THIS DEAL OR ARE WE COMING OUT OKAY? I KNOW THEY'RE PAYING FOR ALL THE COST. AND IN FACT, AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT, THEY'RE PAYING THE HIGHEST RATE WITHIN THE CITY FOR WATER THAT IS OUTSIDE THE CITY OF MCKINNEY LIMITS. IN ADDITION, THEY'RE PAYING FOR MY TIME AS WELL AS ANY OTHER STAFF MEMBERS TIME THAT WENT INTO WRITING THE AGREEMENT AND PROVIDING THAT WATER. AND I FEEL FOR PEOPLE WHO BUY OUT THERE BECAUSE THEY DON'T OR AND I THINK THAT'S A REALLY A FOR RENT COMMUNITY. AND I FEEL FOR THE PEOPLE WHO RENT OUT THERE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IN FIRST WORLD NORTH TEXAS, YOU THINK ABOUT, OH, I'M ON A WELL, I'M GOING TO BE RUNNING OUT OF WATER IN. MY NEIGHBORS AREN'T. BUT I WOULD MAKE THE REMARK, MR. MAYOR, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE COULD USE THE PARTNERSHIP OF OUR STATE LEGISLATURE PARTNERS TO MITIGATE THE FURTHER CREATION OF DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS THAT COULD PUT PRESSURE ON CITIES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE INCREASE OF COST OF WATER THAT WE HAVE AND HAVE MORE RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT THAT DOESN'T NEED TO COME TO US FOR THIS KIND OF THING. BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME, RYAN, YOU CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG HERE, BUT THEY'RE REPAIRING THE WELLS, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT THERE'S CERTAINLY NO ASSURANCE THAT THE WELLS AREN'T GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. IS THAT FAIR TO SAY THAT THAT IS TRUE? NOT NOT ALL WATER SYSTEMS ARE THE SAME. WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON THE CITY OF MCKINNEY WATER SYSTEM, AND THE SAFE, RELIABLE SUPPLY OF WATER IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE DO AS A CITY. AND WHILE I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THESE WELLS IN PARTICULAR, GIVEN THAT THEY DID BREAK ONCE, THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF OF THE RISK TOWARDS THAT HAPPENING AGAIN, IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU. RYAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FOR YOUR EXPLANATION. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS. OKAY. MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 26-1072. IS IS RYAN JUST WENT OVER. I'LL SECOND A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLOUTIER TO APPROVE CONSENT ITEM 26-1072.AND A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKLIN. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. OKAY, THEN. ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED. THAT IS THE END OF OUR CONSENT AGENDA. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. FIRST ITEM IS 26-10117Z AND 26-0012. A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A PETITION TO ANNEX AND REQUEST A REZONING OF PROPERTY TO I-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. THIS IS 400FT EAST OF ENLOE ROAD ON THE. AND FOUR AND 5000FT SOUTH OF EAST UNIVERSITY HIGHWAY 380. WHO'S DOING THIS? LUCAS? ENLOE ROAD REZONE. ANNEXATION. REZONE.
SORRY ABOUT THAT. ANSWERING A QUESTION FOR AN APPLICANT. WE'LL SEE YOU LATER. ALL RIGHT.
THE FIRST 126-0117. SO THIS IS THE FIRST OF THREE CASES THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR. THIS EVENING.
YOU'LL REMEMBER BACK EARLIER THIS YEAR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY BROUGHT IN ROUGHLY SEVEN PROPERTIES IN THE SOUTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY THAT WERE UNDER SOME 2016 PRE ANNEXATION AGREEMENTS. THE FOLLOWING THREE CASES THAT YOU'LL SEE, THIS ONE INCLUDED ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO PRE ANNEXATION AGREEMENTS FROM 2016. THESE AGREEMENTS ARE A STANDARD FIVE YEARS THAT HAVE AN AUTOMATIC EXTENSION OF FIVE YEARS THAT ONCE THOSE TEN YEARS HAVE COME DUE, THE CITY OF MCKINNEY HAS THE RIGHT TO ANNEX THOSE PROPERTIES INTO THE CITY.
ALL THOSE AGREEMENTS, SEVERAL OF THEM WERE TRIGGERED EARLIER BECAUSE DEVELOPMENT TRIGGERS THAT ANNEXATION PROCESS. THESE THREE PROPERTIES NOW, A COUPLE OF THEM ARE LOOKING TO DEVELOP
[00:20:02]
RIGHT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT THESE HAVE EXPIRED. SO WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD THESE ANNEXATIONS PER THOSE AGREEMENTS. AND THEN PRETTY SOON WE'LL SEE SOME DEVELOPMENT REQUESTS ON THIS PROPERTY AS WELL. SO ALL THREE OF THESE PROPERTIES, THIS IS THE FIRST ONE, ARE EAST OF THE EXISTING AIRPORT. YOU CAN SEE THE ZONED AREA THERE A P. YOU CAN SEE THE RUNWAYS THROUGH THAT SHADED AREA THERE. AND THIS IS A MAP SHOWING ALL THREE OF THE PROPERTIES COMBINED. THE ONE WE'RE DISCUSSING RIGHT NOW IS HIGHLIGHTED HERE. AND IT'S ROUGHLY 398 ACRES. AGAIN THIS IS A CITY INITIATED ANNEXATION. SO A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN MOST OF THE ONES WE SEE HERE, BECAUSE THOSE AGREEMENTS PREDATED KIND OF THE CHANGE IN STATE LAW. WE BROUGHT THESE FORWARD TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR CONSIDERATION. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT ALL THREE OF THESE BE ZONED I ONE FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES, AS THEY'RE ANNEXED IN P AND Z, RECOMMENDED APPROVAL UNANIMOUSLY, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS WELL. I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. LUCAS, ARE THERE QUESTIONS? LUCAS? I HAD ONE ON THIS MAP. IT SHOWS PROPOSED ROAD ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT THAT COMES INTO 380. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THAT PROPOSED ROAD IS? YES. SO THAT KIND OF WHITE. YEAH, I GUESS I WOULD SAY RIGHT AWAY, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, SHOWN RIGHT WHERE THE LETTER IS ETJ R ON THAT PROPERTY IS THE FUTURE 399 SPUR, AND THAT RUNS PARALLEL TO THE EXISTING AIRPORT AND RUNWAY. AND WE'LL SEE THAT BEING DEVELOPED AS KIND OF THE NEW BYPASS FROM 380 SOUTH AROUND THE AIRPORT THAT WILL CONNECT INTO 75 AND 121. AND LUCAS, IN THE PREVIOUS ITEM, I MADE THE CASE AND RYAN HELPED ME MAKE THE CASE THAT DEVELOPMENT OUTSIDE OF OUR CITY LIMITS OFTEN HAS SOME RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. IN THE CASE OF THE PREVIOUS THING, IT HAD TO DO WITH THE WATER SOURCE. AND WHEN A. WHEN A PIECE OF LAND ANNEXES INTO OUR CITY LIKE THIS ONE, THEY ARE GOING TO USE CITY SEWERS. THEY'RE GOING TO USE OUR WATER, THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD TO OUR STANDARDS AND THESE THINGS. SO AND THEY'LL BE PAYING FULL FREIGHT AS FAR AS TAXES GO. AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. IT'S AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT THAT WAS SIGNED TEN YEARS AGO. SO THEY WEREN'T ANNEXING THEN. BUT WE'RE AT THE EXPIRATION. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO ANNEX NOW. AND THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN UNDERSTOOD OVER THE TEN YEARS. IS THAT FAIR. THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. LUCAS, DO YOU HAVE ANYONE HERE FROM THE PROPERTY, THE APPLICANT IN THIS CASE. AND SO WE DON'T HAVE REPRESENTATION.OKAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. THANK YOU. LUCAS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? LUCAS.
VERY GOOD. THIS IS AN ITEM THAT HAS A PUBLIC HEARING ATTACHED TO NATURE. DO YOU HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? OKAY, THEN WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ON THE ITEM. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM.
HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKLIN TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM.
AS PER SECOND APPLICANT REQUEST A STAFF REQUEST. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN LYNCH. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED. NEXT ITEM IS 26-0118Z2 AND 26-0013. A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ANNEXATION AND ZONING FOR PROPERTY 800FT NORTH OF FM. 546 ON THE WEST SIDE OF COUNTY ROAD. 722 MR. RILEY ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS THE SECOND OF THOSE THREE PRE ANNEXATION AGREEMENTS COMING FORWARD AGAIN IN THE SAME AREA OF THE CITY. THIS IS THE ONE THAT IS A COUPLE PROPERTIES SOUTH OF THE ONE THAT WE JUST ANNEXED AND ZONED. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 175 ACRES. OF NOTE. THIS PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY OWNED BY THE MCKINNEY EDC. AND SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TAKE THERE AS FAR AS NOT BEING PRIVATELY HELD AND OWNERSHIP, BUT AS FAR AS THE INTENDED USE AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, STAFF FEELS THAT THIS SHOULD ALSO BE ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AS IT'S BROUGHT IN. THIS WAS ALSO BROUGHT PART OF THIS PACKAGE OF CASES TO PNC, AND THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL UNANIMOUSLY. STAFF ALSO RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. SO LUCAS, THE THE EDC OWNS THIS PIECE OF LAND. BUT MY SUPPOSITION IS THEY DID NOT OWN IT TEN YEARS AGO WHEN THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED AND THAT THEY BOUGHT IT. FULLY UNDERSTANDING THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY IS OF NO SURPRISE TO ANYBODY IN THE CITY. THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, LUCAS? THANK YOU. THIS IS AN ITEM THAT DOES HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ATTACHED. IF YOU COME TONIGHT. SEEING NO ONE IS SIGNED UP, WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE
[00:25:04]
PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ON THE ITEM. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM. WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM AS PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS. SECOND BY SECOND.SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CLUTIER. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES. THAT ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED. NEXT ITEM 26-0119Z AND 26-001 FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ANNEXATION AND A ZONING. ZONING TO L1 I ONE, IF YOU WILL. NORTHEAST CORNER OF ENLOW ROAD AND COUNTY ROAD. 327 MR. REILLY. ALL RIGHT. SO THE LAST OF THESE THREE HERE, IT'S THAT PROPERTY THAT'S IN BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS TWO CASES, APPROXIMATELY 149 ACRES. SAME EXACT SITUATION. ALSO RECOMMENDING THAT THIS BE ZONED I-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT LIES THERE IN RELATION TO EXISTING CITY LIMITS. OUR ETJ AND THE FUTURE.
399 SPUR EXTENSION P AND Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL UNANIMOUSLY OF THIS ITEM AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. LUCAS, ARE THERE QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? NO. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. IF YOU COME TONIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL AND SEEING THAT NO ONE IS SIGNED UP, WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACT ON THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ON THE ITEM, MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM. I'LL SECOND THE MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE ITEM AS PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION. SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKLIN. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES. LAST ITEM WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING IS 26-0010SUP2. A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR AUTO VEHICLE REPAIR. MINOR THAT'S WRITTEN STRANGE. MINOR AUTO REPAIR LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF VIRGINIA PARKWAY AND INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY. MR. REILLY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MAYOR. I AGREE IT IS WRITTEN STRANGE. WE USE OUR DEFINITION FROM THE UDC, THEIR VEHICLE REPAIR COMMA MINOR AS OUR DELINEATOR OF WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS THIS IS. WE'RE TRAVELING A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AWAY FROM WHERE WE JUST WERE LOOKING IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT, OVER TO THE FAR WESTERN PORTION OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, AT THE INTERSECTION OF VIRGINIA AND INDEPENDENCE. YOU CAN SEE THIS HARD CORNER HERE IS CURRENTLY ZONED C-2 WITHIN THAT ZONING DISTRICT. THE VEHICLE REPAIR MINOR REQUIRES THAT AN SUP BE APPROVED FOR THE SPECIFIC LAND USE OF THAT VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP.
THIS PROPERTY, EXCUSE ME. THE PRIMARY CONSIDERATION IS COMPATIBILITY WITH THE EXISTING LAND USES THAT SURROUND THIS CORNER. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING, AND I'LL JUMP OVER TO THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN HERE. A 55 FOOT BUILDING SETBACK ALONG THE WESTERN RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY EXCEEDING THE REQUIRED 30FT AND A 32 FOOT SETBACK ALONG THAT SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE. WITH THE SCREENING AND BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS BEING MET HERE, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SOME ADDITIONAL SCREENING ALONG THOSE RESIDENTIAL BOUNDARIES, INCLUDING A METAL FENCE WITH MASONRY COLUMNS AND EVERGREEN LANDSCAPING, TO HELP MINIMIZE THE IMPACTS ON THOSE NEIGHBORING HOMES. ALL OF THE SERVICE BAYS ARE FACING VIRGINIA PARKWAY RATHER THAN ANY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THOSE BAY DOORS ARE BEING DESIGNED TO RESEMBLE GLASS WINDOWS. WHEN CLOSED, THE PROPOSAL MEETS ALL OF THE CITY'S APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, INCLUDING THE HEIGHT, PARKING, VEHICLE STACKING, LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS. WE DID RECEIVE ONLINE CITIZEN COMMENTS, BUT NO FORMAL LETTERS IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION. P AND Z RECOMMENDED FIVE TWO TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, AND AS IT MEETS ALL THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, MEETS THE CRITERIA WITHIN THE UDC. IN THAT C-2 ZONING DISTRICT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
LUCAS. ANYONE? LUCAS, I HAD A QUESTION. YOU HAD MENTIONED A 55 FOOT SETBACK. COULD YOU USE OUR LITTLE FANCY COLORING SYSTEM HERE? I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT OUR FANCY COLORING SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE RIGHT NOW, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OR ON YOUR PAGE, THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE PROPOSED SITE, IT'S FROM THE PROPERTY LINE TO WHERE THE
[00:30:04]
ACTUAL BUILDING STARTS. THERE'S A THERE'S A 30 FOOT SETBACK TO THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE AND AN INSULATED COMPRESSOR ROOM THERE, BUT IT'S 55 TO WHERE THE ACTUAL BUILDING STARTS, WHERE THEY'D BE DOING ANY VEHICLE REPAIR. AND THE ORDINANCE CALLS FOR WHAT, A MINIMUM OF 30? OKAY, OKAY, PERFECT. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYONE? LUCAS. THANK YOU. THIS IS AN ITEM THAT HAS A PUBLIC HEARING COMPONENT. IF YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THIS PROPOSED ISSUE, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME TO THE PODIUM. YOU'LL HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT. YOU KNOW, THAT MIGHT HELP. SO YEAH, YOU ARE THE APPLICANT. YES, SIR. YEP.SO. OKAY. HI, LINDSAY MAYOR 712 SOUTH GREENVILLE AVENUE, ALLEN, TEXAS. SO MY NAME IS LINDSEY MAYOR. I'M WITH DYNAMIC ENGINEERING. I AM THE CIVIL ENGINEER OF RECORD ON THIS PROJECT. I APOLOGIZE, WE DID HAVE A PRESENTATION PREPARED. AND IF ANYBODY TUNED IN TO THE PNC MEETING, WE PRESENTED THERE AS WELL. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH SOME CITY STAFF CHANGE, WE WEREN'T AWARE THAT THE PRESENTATION HAD TO BE SUBMITTED BY A CERTAIN DATE.
AND SO WE DID NOT GET OUR PRESENTATION SUBMITTED BY THEN. BUT CAN I PASS THIS TO THEM? CLERK. THANK YOU. SO KIND OF. SO I'VE GIVEN YOU MY PRINTOUT OF THE PRESENTATION, AND THEN I CAN ALSO SHOW IT FROM MY LAPTOP. SO I APOLOGIZE FOR EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE. THEY DON'T REALLY GET TO SEE IT. BUT AS I SAID, LINDSAY, MAYOR OF DYNAMIC CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, THE SITE, AS LUCAS MENTIONED, IS AT THE CORNER OF VIRGINIA PARKWAY AND INDEPENDENCE. THE. ADJACENT PROPERTIES. CAN I GO BACK ON YOUR SLIDE? IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE EAST IS CURRENTLY UNDER ANNEXATION, AND IT'S GOING TO BE ZONED COMMERCIAL, THE PROPERTY JUST TO THE NORTH OF US ACROSS INDEPENDENCE, WAS RECENTLY ANNEXED INTO THE CITY, AND IT WAS ZONED COMMERCIAL. SO THERE ARE NEIGHBORING COMMERCIAL ZONING NEXT TO US. OUR PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY C-2 ZONING. WE ARE SEEKING TONIGHT A APPROVAL FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A PROPOSED CHRISTIAN BROTHERS SITE. THE CURRENT THOROUGHFARE PLAN HAS INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY AND VIRGINIA PARK AND VIRGINIA PARKWAY AS MINOR ARTERIAL. SO THE FUTURE LAND USE OR FUTURE ROADS WILL BE A FOUR LANE DIVIDED ROAD. OKAY. WE ARE.
TONIGHT WE'RE PRESENTING ON A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT THAT IS 6000FTā !S. IT'S A TEN BAY VEHICE MAINTENANCE REPAIR FACILITY. TONIGHT WE WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, EXPLAIN HOW CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, THEIR MODEL AND HOW THEY OPERATE, AND THEN DISCUSS ANY CONCERNS AS WELL TO. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE SOME EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS. WE DON'T HAVE THOSE, DO WE? OKAY. YOU CAN SEE THE EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE PACKET AS WELL AS ON MY SCREEN. HERE WE GO. YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE TEN BAYS. THOSE BAYS DO FACE VIRGINIA PARKWAY. SO THERE'S NO BAYS THAT ARE FACING THE RESIDENT NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS.
WE ALSO, AS LUCAS MENTIONED, WE ARE THERE'S AN EXISTING WOODEN FENCES ALONG ALL THE RESIDENTS.
INSTEAD OF DOING A FENCE TO FENCE BACKING UP TO EACH OTHER, WE ARE OFFSETTING OUR FENCE TEN FEET AND THAT WAY AND THEN GOING TO PLANT TREES THAT WAY. THE RESIDENTS, THEY HAVE THE VISUALS OF THE TREES AS WELL AS IT GIVES US THAT ROOM TO GO IN THERE AND IN CHRISTIAN BROTHERS TO MAINTAIN THAT THAT AREA. OTHERWISE, IF YOU HAVE FENCES BUTTING UP TO EACH OTHER, A LOT OF TIMES YOU GET HOW DO YOU GO IN THERE AND MAINTAIN THAT? IT'S A LOT OF TIME. A COLLECTOR FOR TRASH, ALSO RODENTS. SO WITH THE OFFSET, IT ALLOWS CHRISTIAN BROTHERS TO GO BACK THERE AND MAINTAIN THAT AREA OF THE PROPERTY WITH THE DUAL FENCES. AND THEN ALSO THE NEIGHBORS GET THE VISUAL ASPECT OF THE TREES. ALSO ON THE SITE PLAN, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE TWO RIGHT TURN LANES, EACH FROM INDEPENDENCE AND VIRGINIA. SO THERE IS NO CONNECTIVITY TO THE NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS. OUR PROPOSED LANDSCAPING PLAN, AGAIN, WE MENTIONED THAT WE
[00:35:09]
HAVE TREES ALL ALONG OUR BORDER OF OUR PROPERTY, AS WELL AS MEETING THE CITY CRITERIA FOR OUR LANDSCAPE, ISLANDS AND INSIDE THE DEVELOPMENT. CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AUTOMOTIVE.SO WE HAVE 347 LOCATIONS AND 31 STATES. WE'VE BEEN IN OPERATION SINCE 1982. THAT'S 44 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER CLOSED A FACILITY. SO WE ARE HERE FOR THE LONG TERM. THAT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE TO ME. FOR 44 YEARS, 347 LOCATIONS AND HAVE NEVER SOLD OR MOVED. THEY'VE BEEN IN THERE SINCE THE DAY THEY'VE OPENED. SHOPS, ARE OWNED AND OPERATED BY LOCAL FRANCHISEES, SO THEY'RE IN THE SHOP ON A DAILY BASIS, MAKING SURE THAT THE QUALITY THAT THEIR SERVICE IS GUARANTEED, AS WELL AS THE MAINTENANCE OF THE FACILITIES, WITH OWNERS BEING LOCAL CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, ALSO IS REALLY BIG ON BEING INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY. SO THEY DO SPONSORSHIPS, THEY DO DONATIONS, AND THEY'RE VERY ACTIVE IN GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
AS ONE OF THE MODELS. CBA SCOPE OF WORK. SO THEIR BUSINESS MODEL IS TO EXTEND AND INTEGRATE INTO THE COMMUNITY. THEY WANT TO BE AN EXTENSION OF A DEALERSHIP WITH, BUT PROVIDING THAT LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE. THE BULK OF THEIR WORK INVOLVES GENERAL MAINTENANCE. SO THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WARRANTY WORK. WE'RE LOOKING AT DIAGNOSTICS, BRAKES, SHOCKS, TUNE UPS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, AND AC. WE DO A MINOR LESS THAN 10% OF OIL CHANGES, BUT WE'RE NOT A QUICK LUBE, QUICK SERVICE PLACE. WE HAVE NO WE DO NOT PERFORM ANY KIND OF BODYWORK. THERE'S NO PAINTING TIRE RECAPPING OR ANY OF THE NOISE GENERATORS. THEY DO NO ENGINE REBUILDS OR TRANSMISSIONS. OUR HOURS OF OPERATION ARE FROM 7 A.M. TO 6 P.M. MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THEY'RE NOT OPEN ON THE WEEKENDS, SO THE ONLY TIME THAT SOMEBODY IS ACTIVELY ON THIS DEVELOPMENT MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 7 TO 6. TYPICALLY THERE'S 10 TO 11 EMPLOYEES ON SITE, AND THEN ALL THE WORK IS COMPLETED INSIDE THE BAYS.
THERE IS NO STORAGE OF VEHICLES. THERE'S NO WORKING ON THE CARS IN THE PARKING LOT. EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED INSIDE THE BUILDING. TYPICALLY, THE WORK IS COMPLETED ON THE SAME DAY.
HOWEVER, SOMETIMES IT DOES BLEED INTO THE NEXT DAY. SO CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, THEY WILL PULL YOUR CAR INTO THE BAY AND PARK IT INSIDE THE BUILDING. THEY DON'T LEAVE CARS OVERNIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT. AGAIN, THERE'S NO STORAGE. HOWEVER THEY DO. SINCE THEIR HOURS ARE LIMITED, THEY DO OFFER LATE NIGHTS OR EARLY DROP OFFS, SO SOMETIMES THERE ARE CARS PARKED THERE JUST FOR DROP OFFS. CHRISTIAN BROTHERS ALSO OFFERS A SHUTTLE SERVICE, SO IF YOU NEED TO DROP OFF YOUR CAR OR AND LEAVE, THEY WILL TAKE YOU TO YOUR WORK, YOUR HOME, WHEREVER YOU NEED TO GO, AND THEN THEY'LL PICK YOU UP AND BRING YOU BACK AS WELL. THE SHOP CLEANLINESS. SO EACH STORE HAS A ZAMBONI STYLE FLOOR CLEANER. IT PICKS UP ANY KIND OF RUNOFF MATERIALS. ALSO, THE FLUIDS IS STORED IN A DOUBLE WALL CONTAINER AND IT'S RECYCLED. EVERY SINGLE STORE ALSO HAS AN OIL WATER SEPARATOR. SO CHRISTIAN BROTHERS DEVELOPMENTS ARE VERY ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY. A NEIGHBORHOOD BENEFIT. SO AGAIN, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL AUTOMOBILE SERVICES TO THE CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY. IT ALSO PROVIDES A EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES A TAX REVENUE BASIS, APPROXIMATELY.
WE DO $300 MILLION IN REVENUE IN A YEAR. SO WHAT CAN NEIGHBORS EXPECT FROM US? AGAIN, IT'S KIND OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. ALL REPAIRS WILL BE DONE INSIDE THE SERVICE SPACE.
THERE'S NO BODYWORK, NO PAINTING, NO TIRE RECAPPING OR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION REBUILDING. THE HOURS ARE LIMITED FROM 7 A.M. TO 6 P.M. MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. CLOSED ON THE WEEKENDS. THERE'S NO OVERNIGHT VEHICLE STORED OUTSIDE AND NO WORK IS REPAIRED OUTSIDE. SO SOME CONCERNS THAT WE TYPICALLY HEAR ABOUT IS TRAFFIC. WELL, AS WE TALKED ABOUT ALREADY, WE HAVE TWO RIGHT TURN LANES, ONE OFF EACH ROADWAY, ONE OFF VIRGINIA AND
[00:40:02]
ONE OFF INDEPENDENCE. ADDITIONALLY, CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, OF OUR 347 LOCATIONS, WE'VE DONE STUDIES AND WE ARE NOT A TYPICAL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE NOT HAVING THE LARGE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC COMING INTO OUR SITE. WE'RE ONE OF THE LEAST IMPACTS. WE'RE A DESTINATION BUSINESS, SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DRIVE ALONG AND SAY, OH, LET ME STOP THERE AND RUN INSIDE AND SHOP FOR 30 MINUTES. IF YOU GO TO A CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, YOU'RE GOING THERE FOR A REASON. AND WE TYPICALLY HAVE 18 TO 22 CARS PER DAY. SO IT'S NOT A HIGH VOLUME TRAFFIC GENERATOR. ANOTHER CONCERN THAT WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT IS NOISE. AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT A TYPICAL AUTO REPAIR CENTER, NOISE IS ONE OF THE CONCERNS. BUT AS LUCAS MENTIONED, OUR BUILDING IS COMPLETELY INSULATED. THE COMPRESSOR, THERE'S A SEPARATE COMPRESSOR ROOM THAT IS INSULATED WITH A STEEL DOOR TO HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE NOISE CONCERNS. SO 100FT AWAY, WE'VE DONE STUDIES AND IT MEASURES ABOUT 50 TO 55DB. AND THAT'S ABOUT AS LOUD AS AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, AS AN AC UNIT AT YOUR HOUSE. SO THE NOISE IS VERY MINIMAL. AND AGAIN, ALL THE WORK IS DONE INSIDE THE BAY TO WE HAVE MULTIPLE LOCATIONS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL EARLY CHILDHOOD ELEMENTARIES, AND WE'VE NEVER RECEIVED A NOISE COMPLAINT. OUR TEAM. WE REACHED OUT TO THE HOA TO HOST A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING. UNFORTUNATELY, THE HOA SAID THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED, SO WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND HOST ONE. SO WE HELD ONE ON SEPTEMBER 10TH 26TH AT THE JOHN AND JUDY GAY LIBRARY. WE SENT OUT NOTICES TO. I KNOW FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS, NOTICES ARE SENT TO 200FT. WE SENT NOTICES TO EVERYONE WITHIN 300FT. SO WE EVEN EXPANDED THAT RADIUS, HAD THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING. A FEW PEOPLE JOINED. THERE WAS SUPPORT AT THE MEETING. THERE WAS THREE LETTERS THAT YOU CAN SEE IN THAT PACKET AND IN THE PRESENTATION, ONE NEIGHBOR. SHE CAME AND SHE WAS KIND OF INDIFFERENT AT FIRST. SHE WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT, AND BY THE END OF THE NIGHT, SHE SAID, I'D RATHER HAVE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS THAN ANY OTHER KIND OF DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THIS IS ZONED COMMERCIAL. AND SHE SAID, I'D RATHER HAVE YOU THAN SOME OTHER SOMETHING ELSE, BECAUSE I DO FEEL LIKE THE NOISE, THE TRAFFIC, THE HOURS OF OPERATION. I'D RATHER HAVE A CHRISTIAN BROTHERS THAN A NORMAL C TWO CLASSIFICATION USAGE. SO AGAIN, TONIGHT WE ARE SEEKING FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ON A PIECE OF LAND THAT IS ALREADY ZONED C2 COMMERCIAL. AND THERE'S C2 COMMERCIAL ADJACENT TO US ALL.ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS OF MISS MAYOR ANYONE? NO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
YOU'RE VERY THOROUGH. THANK YOU. MR. MAYOR IS HERE WITH YOU WITH SEE WITH YOU SEE THE HE IS THE DEVELOPER FOR CHRISTIAN BROTHERS. OKAY. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT. OKAY, JUST ONE CORRECTION. EACH AVERAGE STORE IS $3 MILLION PER YEAR, NOT 300. YOU'RE GETTING PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT ZEROS. THANK YOU. OKAY. THIS ITEM NOW, MAYOR PRO TEM WILL MOVE TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.
THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT. THIS ITEM DOES HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ATTACHED. YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL AT THIS TIME IF YOU'VE SIGNED UP. JUST SIMPLY WALKING UP. ALSO, WE DID RECEIVE THREE, MAYBE FOUR LETTERS IN OUR PACKET. SO IF YOU'VE SUBMITTED A POSITION ONLINE, PLEASE KNOW THAT WE WE DID RECEIVE THAT. SO PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME. YEAH. MY NAME IS HUSSEIN SHEIKH. I WON THE PROPERTY SOUTHEAST CORNER OF VIRGINIA PARKWAY AND INDEPENDENCE. SO I'M THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY TODAY. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY IS GROWING UNDER RIGHT OR NORTHWEST SIDE. D.R. HORTON IS BUILDING THE TOWNHOMES. IT'S CLOSE TO 80 TOWNHOMES. SO THE COMMUNITY IS GROWING. SO WE NEED A LIKE A MINOR VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP NEARBY, WHICH IS FOR COMMUTING AND AND ALSO CHRISTIAN BROTHERS. IT HAS A VERY REPUTATION AND THEY ARE VERY AFFORDABLE AND CONVENIENT FOR THE COMMUNITY. I STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. I DON'T SEE ANY CONCERNS HAVING THIS BUSINESS RIGHT NEXT TO MY PROPERTY. JUST TO CLARIFY AND
[00:45:07]
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. YOU OWN ONE OF THE ADJOINING PROPERTIES ON THE WEST OR THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST. THE ETJ PROPERTY. OKAY. AND ALSO WE ARE PLANNING TO DO THE ANNEXATION FOR THE RETAIL ONE VERY SOON. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. NOW, IF YOU WILL GO THAT WAY AND FILL OUT THAT CARD, GIVE US YOUR INFORMATION, PLEASE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, THIS IS NASIM. I LIVE AT 12996 L CODE FRISCO. I AM THE OWNER OF HASSAN REALTY GROUP, WHICH OWNS THE 2.5 ACRES TRACK. VIRGINIA AND INDEPENDENCE, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO APPROVE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THREE POINTS. FIRST, THE CORNER WAS PLANNED FOR EXACTLY. THIS IS THE KIND OF USE WE PURCHASED THIS LAND FROM D.R. HORTON, WHO DEVELOPED THE ENTIRE WESTRIDGE COMMUNITY. THEY INTEND. THESE HARD CORNERS SERVE THE RESIDENTS OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THEY PROTECTED THAT INTENT THROUGH DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT LIMIT WHICH USERS ARE ALLOWED THERE. WE CANNOT GO AND BUILD ANYTHING. THERE WERE ANY PERMITTED USES AND PROHIBITED USES. SO WE SUBMITTED CHRISTIAN BROTHERS PROPOSAL TO D.R. HORTON, AND THEY REVIEWED AND THEY APPROVED IT THE SECOND. THIS IS THE RIGHT USE FOR THIS LOCATION.
VIRGINIA AND INDEPENDENCE ARE BOTH MAJOR ARTERIALS, JUST LIKE A ROAD. AND THIS IS. THIS TRACK IS ALREADY ZONED C2 AND COMMERCIAL C2 FOR COMMERCIAL USE. CHRISTIAN BROTHERS PERFORMS ONLY MINOR AUTO REPAIRS AS EXPLAINED BY APPLICANT. OIL CHANGES. NO MAJOR BODY WORK, NO PAINTING, NO MAJOR ENGINE TRANSMISSION. SO ALL WORK HAPPENS INSIDE THE THIRD POINT. APPLICATION HAS DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT. CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND BOTH DYNAMIC ENGINEERING WENT THROUGH MULTIPLE ROUNDS FOR REVISIONS WITH THE CITY STAFF TO REFINE THE SITE PLAN TO ADDRESS ALL THE. TO MEET ALL THE ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS, THEY HELD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WHICH DREW NO OPPOSITION AND PRODUCED A SUPPORT LETTERS. THEY COMPLETED NOISE AND TRAFFIC STUDIES. THEY'RE THE RESULT OF THAT RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL FROM THE STAFF AND PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. I WANT TO THANK CITY STAFF, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND DYNAMIC ENGINEERING FOR THEIR DILIGENT WORK. THIS IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR THIS CORNER. IT BRINGS A TRUSTED, COMMUNITY FOCUSED BUSINESS THAT SERVES MANY FAMILIES. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL. THANK YOU. JUST TO CLARIFY, YOU OWN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, RIGHT? OKAY. VERY GOOD. NOW, IF YOU'LL FILL OUT A CARD FOR US. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. WE HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR MOTIONS, MR. BROWN, MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR NOW. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLOUTIER TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTS. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. THAT MOTION CARRIES. A PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN CLOSED. I'LL MAKE THE REMARK THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT NASIM SAID IS RIGHT. YOU KNOW, THESE CORNERS WERE PLANNED FOR THINGS LIKE THIS NEAR MY HOME. WE'VE HAD A CHRISTIAN BROTHERS FOR DECADES AND THEY'VE BEEN GOOD NEIGHBORS. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY PROBLEM. THE PART THAT GIVES ME CONFLICT, THOUGH, IS THAT IT DOES NEED AN S, U, P, AND THE NEIGHBORS ADJOINING THEM OUGHT TO HAVE SOME AGENCY.
NOW, WHAT I REALLY WORRY ABOUT IS THAT IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS, THAT WHATEVER COMES AFTER THIS WILL BE A MORE INVASIVE USE THAT MAY NOT NEED TO COME BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO BUILD IT BY RIGHT WITH C TWO. SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD USE. I DO FEEL FOR THE NEIGHBORS WHO MAY NOT WANT IT, AND I DON'T LIKE WHEN THESE THINGS COME IN LAST, RIGHT? I LIKE WHEN THESE THINGS COME IN BEFORE THE HOMES. SO WHEN PEOPLE BUY THE HOMES, THEY CAN SAY, OH, WELL, THERE'S A CHRISTIAN BROTHERS. WELL, I NEVER WANTED TO LIVE NEAR A CHRISTIAN BROTHERS. WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY THE HOME. BUT YOU KNOW, HERE THEY'VE ALREADY BOUGHT THE HOME AND HERE WE ARE. SO A LITTLE BIT CONFLICTED ON IT, BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD USE ACTUALLY DISAGREE. I THIS IS A HARD VERY POPULAR CORNER INDEPENDENCE IN VIRGINIA. AND I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. I JUST YOU KNOW, AS I'M LOOKING AT THE OPPOSITION, I THINK THERE'S. SIX OFFICIALLY FILED ON THE OPPOSITION FROM THE NEIGHBORS THAT LIVE HERE. THE QUESTION IS, IS THIS REALLY WHAT WE WANT ON A REALLY BUSY INTERSECTION IS AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. WE'VE HAD SIMILAR PROPOSALS HERE JUST IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN IN SUPPORT OF. AND FOR THE SAME REASON, I'M NOT IN SUPPORT OF THIS ONE AS WELL. I MEAN, I THINK WE REALLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE VOICES OF THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA, AND THEY ARE VOICING THEIR OPPOSITION, AND I AGREE WITH
[00:50:02]
THEM. ANYONE ELSE? I TEND TO AGREE THAT THIS IS A GOOD, GOOD PLACE FOR THIS CAR REPAIR. IT'S ZONED FOR THAT. AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE APPLICANT, AND THE APPLICANT HAS DONE EVERYTHING THAT THEY POSSIBLY COULD TO MITIGATE ANY EFFECTS ON THE RESIDENTIAL. AND JUST LIKE PATRICK SAID, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME NEXT. AND WE HAD ONE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, GOT APPROVED FOR A 7-ELEVEN. WELL, THIS 7-ELEVEN WORSE THAN THIS PROPERTY HERE. I DON'T THINK I THINK THIS MEETS EVERYTHING THAT YOU'D WANT, AND I'M IN FAVOR OF IT. ANYONE ELSE? LUCAS, COULD YOU COME BACK? A QUESTION REPRESENTING STAFF. YOU'VE HEARD COMMENTS ABOUT OTHER USES THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY. RIGHT. THAT WOULD NOT REQUIRE AN SUP.COULD YOU GIVE US SOME OF THOSE OTHER OPTIONS? I SURE CAN, I'M GOING TO PULL UP OUR UDC HERE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M GIVING YOU MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY. SO IN THE C TWO ZONING DISTRICT, AGAIN, THAT IS OUR NOT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, NOT OUR REGIONAL COMMERCIAL. IT'S KIND OF OUR IN-BETWEEN ZONE THERE FOR COMMERCIAL USES. I'M JUST GOING TO START RATTLING OFF SEVERAL OF THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED WITHIN THAT ZONING DISTRICT WITH EITHER CRITERIA OR. ARE PERMITTED BY. RIGHT. SO THEY WOULDN'T NEED THAT'S U P WITH THE ADVENT OF SB 840, WE HAVE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY, COMMUNITY CARE FACILITIES. ANIMAL CARE SERVICES, SO VETERINARY SERVICES, ARTS OR CULTURAL CENTERS, BANKS, FINANCIAL SERVICES, CAR WASH, CIVIC CLUB, FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION, CLINIC, MEDICAL COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY, COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT. INDOOR. COMMUNITY GARDEN, COUNTRY CLUB, COTTAGE INDUSTRIAL USES CRAFT CONSUMABLES, A DAYCARE CENTER, DISPATCH OFFICE. FARMERS MARKET, FUEL CELLS, PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH CRITERIA. GREENHOUSE, PLANT OR NURSERY, GYM, FITNESS STUDIO. HOTEL. MOTEL. OFFICE. PERSONAL SERVICES. OUR GENERAL RETAIL SERVICES, RECREATIONAL AREAS, RESTAURANT, BREW, PUB, RESTAURANT, CARRYOUT AND DELIVERY. DINE IN RETAIL SALES.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER. AND THAT COVERS MOST OF THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED BY. RIGHT. SO YOU MENTIONED CAR WASH AND FUEL SALES. SO WHEN YOU SAID FUEL SALES WAS ALLOWED BY RIGHT, BOTH, BOTH OF THEM HAVE CRITERIA THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE MET. BUT IF THEY MET THAT CRITERIA, IN THIS CASE, THE DIFFICULT CRITERIA THEY'D HAVE TO MEET FOR THE FUEL SALES WOULD BE THAT 250 FOOT DIFFERENCE. SO THEY'D LIKELY IT WOULD REQUIRE AN S P IN THAT CASE, MOST LIKELY IF IF IT WERE JUST THAT SOUTHERN PARCEL. ABSOLUTELY. AND THEN THE THE DRIVE THROUGH RESIDENTIAL IS ANOTHER MORE INTENSE USE THAT AGAIN, IT HAS THE CRITERIA FOR THE BUILDING AND SPEAKER BOX SEPARATION. SO THE WAY THAT IT'S SHOWN HERE WITH THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY SPLIT, BOTH OF THOSE USES WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE AN SUP AS WELL. YEAH. OKAY. SO WITH THE ADVENT OF SB 840, MULTIFAMILY COULD BE THERE OR RETAIL USES. THAT'S CORRECT. PERSONAL SERVICE. YES. OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OF COURSE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS, MOTIONS? NO, IT'S IT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A ZOOMED OUT VERSION OF THIS. BECAUSE IF YOU'VE SEEN WHERE IT'S AT ON THE, ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIS, THERE'S ACTUALLY A, ANOTHER OPEN PIECE OF LAND WHERE LIKE A, IT'S PRIVATE LAND AND LIKE A, YEAH, 18 WHEELER THAT'S FULL OF 18 WHEELERS AND SOME FOOD TRUCKS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THERE. THIS IS WEST RIDGE, BUT I USED TO LIVE OVER HERE. AND
[00:55:04]
THEN IF YOU GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER EAST, THAT'S AERIAL COUNTRY. THAT'S THE AIRPORT WHERE THERE'S ANOTHER BASICALLY THE EXACT SAME KIND OF FACILITY THERE, LIKE A CHRISTIAN BROTHERS TYPE AUTOMOTIVE CENTER. I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A 7-ELEVEN WHEN I WAS LIVING THERE, BUT I THINK THIS IS A BETTER USE THAN THAN A GAS STATION. AND I'LL MAKE ONE OTHER POINT THAT STRIKES ME, YOU KNOW, THE CAR WASH THING REALLY STRUCK ME OF THE USE. AS YOU SAID. I SAID, I THINK, OH MAN, THAT COULD BE THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, BUT THE OTHER THING THAT CHRISTIAN BROTHERS SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO IS THEY WERE GOING TO BUILD THAT TEN FOOT BUFFER WITH TREES BETWEEN TWO WALLS. AND I DON'T THINK A CAR WASH OR RESTAURANT WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT, YOU KNOW, AND THAT BUFFER IS GOING TO BE AWFULLY IMPORTANT. SO I REALLY DO SYMPATHIZE WITH THE NEIGHBORS. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A BETTER OUTCOME THAN THEY THINK IT IS, BECAUSE I LIVE RIGHT NEAR ONE. BUT WITH THAT WITH THAT BUFFER THERE BUILDING IN, I DON'T SEE AN APPLICANT THAT CAN COME THAT DOES NOT NEED TO COME BEFORE US BUILDING THAT TEN FOOT BUFFER. RIGHT. IF IT'S PATRICK AND RICK'S CAR WASH THAT'S GOING IN THERE, I THINK PATRICK AND RICK ARE GOING TO BUILD THAT TEN FOOT BUFFER THERE, AND THAT COULD CAUSE REAL ISSUES FOR THE RESIDENTS. SO I'M A I'M A RELUCTANT YES ON THIS THING.THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. OKAY. ANYONE ELSE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM. WE HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM SECOND FRANKLIN TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION. WAS IT SECOND? SECOND BY COUNCILMAN JONES? IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THIS MOTION CARRIES BY A VOTE OF FOUR IN FAVOR AND THREE AGAINST. THAT ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED. NEXT ITEM IS 26-1073. THIS IS CONSIDERED AN APPOINTMENT AS AN ALTERNATE MEMBER TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. WE'RE GOING TO TABLE THIS UNTIL A FUTURE MEETING. MR. GRIMES, I'M NOT SURE WHEN THAT MEETING IS, BUT CAN YOU COME UP WITH A DATE? YES, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YEP. THAT ENDS OUR REGULAR AGENDA. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. NITROUS. WE NEED TO VOTE TO TAKE A VOTE, DON'T WE? YEAH, THAT WOULD BE GOOD. THAT'S. MR. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM INDEFINITELY. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLOUTIER TO TABLE ITEM TO 6-1073 INDEFINITELY. SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKLIN. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THAT MOTION CARRIES. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. TO ANYONE. DASH. YOU'RE UP BUDDY. PAUL. YOU'LL BE NEXT. OKAY. OKAY. ONCE AGAIN, DASH, I'M HERE TO ONCE AGAIN ADVOCATE FOR HOMELESSNESS ISSUES. I KNOW I'M A BIT OF A REPEATING RECORD, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS. WHEN I FIRST BECAME HOMELESS, IT WAS BECAUSE I GOT BLACKLISTED BY THE HUMAN EMOTIONS LAB AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE, BECAUSE THEY ESSENTIALLY ASKED ME TO FALSIFY DATA REGARDING MONEY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE HEAD START PROGRAM, AND HOW THEY WERE GOING TO ALLOCATE ALL OF THAT MONEY. AND ESSENTIALLY, MY FACULTY ADVISOR JUST STOPPED TALKING TO ME, AND I MORE OR LESS GOT COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY BLACKLISTED. AND IT WASN'T REALLY LIKE THE SOCIAL SERVICES THAT HELPED ME. IT WAS A VERY LOVELY MAN NICKNAMED DOC, WHO TOLD ME TO GET MY SHIT TOGETHER EVERY DAY. AND SO I, WITH JUST A LAPTOP AND A GUITAR, I ENDED UP BUSKING IN ORDER TO MAKE CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE IN ORDER TO GET BASICALLY JOBS BUILDING WORDPRESS WEBSITES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT WHEN I MOVED DOWN HERE AND I MADE MY WAY ALL THE WAY UP TO VICE PRESIDENT AT BANK OF AMERICA, AND WHEN I GOT DOWN HERE AFTER THE BANK MOVED ME, I WOULD GO BUSKING AND EVERYBODY WOULD TREAT ME LIKE I WAS HOMELESS, YOU KNOW, LIKE THERE WAS A CERTAIN WEALTHY BUSINESS OWNER NAMED TOM MEREDITH WHO DECIDED TO DRIVE BY ME AND SAY SOME
[01:00:07]
RATHER HORRIFIC THINGS ABOUT HOMELESS PEOPLE. ON THE DAY THAT DOC DIED AND THEY PUT HIM IN A PUBLIC CEMETERY AND IN A LANDFILL. SO I'M KIND OF SORT OF RIGHT NOW BEING HOMELESS AND LIKE, I LIKE, I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HOSTILE ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT I'D RATHER CREATE A DIGNITY THAT CANNOT BE REFUTED, YOU KNOW? AND SO THERE'S SOME WATER OUT THERE. YOU KNOW, ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO DRINK IT CAN. AND I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP RUNNING CHARITY TOY DRIVES, YOU KNOW. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NEXT. PAUL VI. YOU'VE MISSED THE LAST MONTH OF HERE. I'VE SEEN PAUL 06508 MARVIN GARDENS MCKINNEY, TEXAS 75070. I AM NOT JUST A RESIDENT.I'M ALSO THE FOUNDER OF THE LOCAL NONPROFIT EMMANUEL LABOR. AND OUR MISSION IS REMOVING THE LESSNESS FROM HOMELESSNESS IN JESUS NAME. BUT BEFORE THAT, I'M A CHRISTIAN. I'M A HUSBAND, I'M A FATHER. I'M EVEN A LITTLE LEAGUE COACH. WHY? YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ME? AND I LOVE THIS TOWN, AND I LOVE BEING A PART OF THIS TOWN. AND IT'S KIND OF COOL THAT THE RUNNERS WERE THERE.
I'M ACTUALLY A FORMER MARATHONER. YOU COULDN'T TELL THAT BY LOOKING AT ME. AND IF YOU SEE ME RUNNING, YOU SHOULD TOO. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LEARNED ABOUT MARATHONING IS THAT YOU DON'T FINISH YOUR RACE WITHOUT COMPLETE STRANGERS, GIVING YOU NOURISHMENT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. BUT OUR FRIENDS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, THEY ARE DEPENDENT ON STRANGERS TO GIVE THEM NOURISHMENT AND ENCOURAGEMENT AND DIRECTION.
BUT IT'S NOT LIKE RUNNING A RACE AT A MARATHON. IT'S MORE LIKE GOING TO AN ER. SOMETIMES YOU GO THERE AND YOU'RE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON THE CARE THAT'S THERE. HOMELESS OR NOT, YOU CAN GO THERE, YOU CAN TELL THEM YOU HAVE A PAIN OF TEN OUT OF TEN, AND YOU ARE STILL AT THE MERCY OF WHEN THEY COME TO YOU. AND TIME SEEMS TO FREEZE. WHEN YOU'RE IN THAT SITUATION, IT TAKES AGES IN YOUR MIND TO GET TREATMENT TO GET ADDRESSED. WHETHER YOU'RE THE PATIENT OR THE PERSON WITH THE PATIENT. AND I JUST HAD THAT EXPERIENCE TWO WEEKS AGO.
IT TOOK 12 HOURS TO FINALLY GET THE TREATMENT THAT WAS NEEDED FOR A PERSON THAT'S HOMELESS IN OUR COMMUNITY. BUT TODAY IS A GREAT DAY. TODAY IS ACTUALLY THE GREATEST DAY TO BE ALIVE.
WE ARE ONE DAY CLOSER TO JESUS COMING BACK. HE'S ALREADY DIED. HE'S ALREADY GONE TO THE CROSS.
HE'S ALREADY ASCENDED. IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE. IT'S ALSO A GREAT DAY TO GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS. IT'S A GREAT CHANCE TO GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS. AND THERE'S A LOT OF POLICIES THAT ARE BEFORE YOU THE PRESENTATION, EARLIER DECISIONS. AND I THINK ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO MAKE DECISIONS WITH CONFIDENCE IS GET TO KNOW WHO YOU'RE SERVING. SO I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO THANKSGIVING DINNER. I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE ONE IN FRONT OF YOU ALREADY.
THANKSGIVING DINNER ON THANKSGIVING DAY. YOU CAN USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO GET AWAY FROM YOUR IN-LAWS. YOU'LL STILL GET TO WATCH THE COWBOY GAME WHETHER YOU LIKE THEM OR NOT.
AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BRISKET, TURKEY AND HAM. IT'LL BE AWESOME. I'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU THERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU PAUL. THANKS, PAUL. OKAY. WE HAVE A GROUP IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM THAT'S BEEN VERY QUIET. IS THERE A SPOKESMAN IN THAT GROUP? CAN SOMEONE IDENTIFY THE GROUP YOU'RE WITH? THAT APPEARS TO BE A LEADERSHIP CLASS OR SOMETHING.
INTERNATIONAL. NO. IMAGINE INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY. IMAGINE. VERY GOOD. WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. COUNCIL COMMENTS, MR. BELLER. YEAH, I'LL MENTION TWO THINGS. ONE, I GOT TO GO TO THE FALL FESTIVAL LAST WEEK, WHICH IS A STAFF CITY WIDE STAFF CELEBRATION, AND IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO SEE THE ENERGY IN THAT ROOM. OUR STAFF DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB AT WHAT THEY DO, BUT THEY ALSO DO AN EXCELLENT JOB OF RELAXING AND AND BEING FRIENDLY WITH EACH OTHER AND CELEBRATING THIS TIME OF YEAR. AND SO PAUL, JUST WANTED TO COMMEND YOU ON THAT. IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO SEE HOW MANY WE HAVE PARKED UP AND DOWN LOUISIANA AT OLD SETTLERS PARK.
AND MR. JONES WAS THERE. HE HAD TO BE THE JUDGE OF THE COSTUME CONTEST. I GOT OUT OF DOING THAT, BUT I HOPE HE MADE SOME GOOD DECISIONS WITH THAT. THE SECOND THING WAS I LISTENED TO A PRESENTATION FROM A GROUP OF FIFTH TO SEVENTH GRADERS YESTERDAY WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A PROJECT, AND THEY'RE INTERESTED IN NATIVE PLANTS, AND THEY CAME WITH RESEARCH, A PRESENTATION, AND A SOLUTION. AND I TELL YOU WHAT, IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE. AND THERE WAS WE HAD THE PARK STAFF THERE TO LISTEN TO THEM. WE HAD ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES THERE TO LISTEN TO THEM. WE GOT TO SHOW OFF CITY HALL AND THE NATIVE PLANTS THAT WE PUT OUT HERE IN THE PLAZA. BUT TO HAVE
[01:05:01]
THIS GROUP OF KIDS COME IN AND GIVE THIS PRESENTATION AND MAKE A SUGGESTION FOR A POLICY CHANGE THAT THAT THEY THINK IS NEEDED IN OUR COMMUNITY WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE AND HOPEFULLY WILL COME. WILL WILL BE BACK WITH SOME IDEAS AND MAYBE EVEN HAVE THEM PRESENT TO THIS COUNCIL. BUT JUST FROM SEEING THAT GROUP, THE KIDS ARE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT. AND I ASSUME FROM SEEING IF I SAW PRESENTATION, THE KIDS IN THIS GROUP, KIDS ARE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT. SO THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO THE PUBLIC MEETING ON THE ROUNDABOUT DISCUSSION AT GLEN OAKS AND RIDGE ROAD. AND IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ONLINE, THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MORE DIVISIVE SORT OF ISSUES.IN DISTRICT THREE, WE DID AN ONLINE POLL AND IT KIND OF SPLIT RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE, BUT IT BECAME VERY CLEAR AFTER HAVING SOME INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT AROUND ABOUT MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT MOVE AT THIS TIME. AND THAT'S JUST DUE TO ISSUES LIKE CONSTRUCTION AND THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WHAT I WANT TO SAY, THOUGH, THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS SUBMITTED COMMENTS ONLINE. YOU CAN STILL DO THAT IF YOU GO TO THE CITY WEBSITE, THE ENGAGE WEBSITE FOR THE CITY. THE PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE STILL OPEN. THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS THERE. I DID GET SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT HAVING NO CHANGE AT THE INTERSECTION IS A POSSIBILITY. WE COULD NOT ADD THAT TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE WITHOUT WIPING OUT ALL THE OTHER DATA. SO YOU CAN PUT THAT IN YOUR COMMENTS IF YOU PREFER TO SEE NO CHANGE VERSUS A LIGHT VERSUS A ROUNDABOUT. BUT WE'RE STILL COLLECTING ALL OF THE COMMENTS ON THAT, AND WE WILL CIRCLE BACK TO THAT VERY SOON. BUT THANKS FOR EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT. I HAVE TWO THINGS, MR. MAYOR, USUALLY GO OVER STUFF I'VE DONE OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT CITY RELATED, AND THERE'S REALLY BEEN NOTHING. AND I WERE ABLE TO TAKE A TRIP TO WEST VIRGINIA PLACE. I'VE NEVER BEEN PLACE MANY Y'ALL HAVEN'T EVER BEEN. IT WAS REALLY STARTLING. WE STAYED AT A PLACE CALLED THE GREENBRIER THAT HAS SOME MAGNIFICENT HISTORY ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THERE'S ACTUALLY A BUNKER THERE THAT WAS BUILT BY THE EISENHOWER ADMINISTRATION TO. HE WAS CONVINCED THAT THAT WE WOULD HAVE A NUCLEAR WAR. HE WAS CONVINCED HE HAD TO GET CONGRESS SOMEWHERE SECRET, AND HE BUILT A BUNKER FOR THAT. IT WAS A SINGLE USE BUNKER. IF WE'D EVER USED IT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BLOWN. WE NEVER DID USE IT. NOW YOU CAN TAKE TOURS OF IT. AMAZING. THE OTHER THING THAT REALLY STRUCK ME OUT THERE IS HOW IN COLLIN COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA, IS IT IS VERY RURAL, IT IS VERY ROLLING. IT IS VERY DENSE WITH TREES. IT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL. AND WHAT WAS BEAUTIFUL IS THE, THE NATURE BUT, BUT WAS ALSO BREATHTAKING WAS THE AMOUNT OF POVERTY THAT WE SAW IN AN AREA THAT DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF ECONOMIC IMPULSES OR IMPETUSES THERE, I DID A LITTLE BIT OF A GOOGLE SEARCH AND I SAID, WHAT'S THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OF WEST VIRGINIA? 111 BILLION A YEAR? WHAT'S THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OF COLLIN COUNTY? 115 BILLION A YEAR? THAT'S REALLY STARTLING. THE SECOND THING IS, I WANT TO EXTEND MY GRATITUDE TO THE MCKINNEY FIRE DEPARTMENT.
VONDA AND I SPEND OUR HALLOWEENS AT OUR OLDEST DAUGHTER, CAROLINE'S HOUSE. SHE LIVES IN TUCKER HILL, WHERE EVERY TRICK OR TREATER IN COLLIN COUNTY SEEMS TO COME. I HAVE A. I HAVE A GRANDDAUGHTER WHO HAS AN ALLERGY TO PEANUTS, CASHEWS AND PISTACHIOS AND. SHE WAS UNSUPERVISED AT THE TIME AND TOOK A BITE OF A BUTTERFINGER, WHICH SHE SAID MOST. SHE SAID THIS BUTTERFINGER DIDN'T HAVE PEANUTS, BUT LIKE EVERY OTHER BUTTERFINGER I'VE EVER SEEN, IT DID. AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO DO THE EPIPEN AND WE HAD MFD OUT THERE. AND WITHOUT NAMING NAMES, NO SURPRISE WHATSOEVER. THE PROFESSIONALISM OF OUR PARAMEDICS WAS JUST SOMETHING TO BEHOLD AND VERY, VERY GRATEFUL FOR OUR CITY EMPLOYEES.
THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. VERY GOOD, MR. JONES. YEAH, YEAH. GOING BACK TO THE FALL FESTIVAL, I ALSO WAS A JUDGE OF THE CHILI COMPETITION, WHICH IS ALWAYS A RISK BECAUSE JUST LIKE PATRICK'S GRANDBABIES, I TO HAVE DO HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES. SO IT WAS ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, IT'S A BIG RISK TO TAKE THAT BITE ON EVERY LITTLE CUP OF CHILI. BUT I DID AND, YOU KNOW, I LIVED AND IT'S, IT WAS, IT WAS A GREAT TIME. I ALSO GOT TO THROW THE FIRST PITCH OUT FOR THE MCKINNEY POLICE ASSOCIATION VERSUS THE MCKINNEY FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT. THE POLICE ASSOCIATION ENDED UP WINNING THAT GAME, BUT THE OUR FIREFIGHTERS WENT OUT TO THE HEROES CLASSIC SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT, WHICH IS. IT'S A TEN ASSOCIATIONS, POLICE AND FIRE AND THEY WON. AND SO CONGRATS TO OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND OUR POLICE FORCE FOR WINNING THEIR INDIVIDUAL DEALS THERE. AND LASTLY, WE JUST HAD HALLOWEEN. I HOPE EVERYBODY HAD A GREAT TIME TRICK OR TREATING WITH THEIR KIDS, IF YOU HAD ANY.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. ALL RIGHT. A COUPLE OF ITEMS SPEAKING WHILE WE'RE ON CHILI COOK OFFS AND CHILI JUDGING MAYOR, CITY MANAGER GRIMES AND I WERE ALSO JUDGES IN A CITY WIDE CHILI COOK OFF, AND WE SURVIVED AND WERE ABLE TO PICK 1 OR 2 WINNERS IN THAT IN THAT
[01:10:05]
CLASS. SO IT WAS FUN SITTING WITH YOU AND ENJOYING THE CONVERSATION WITH MR. JONES AS WELL. THAT WAS FUN. AND THEN SEEING THE CITY STAFF ENJOY THE MEAL THAT TEXAS ROADHOUSE PREPARED, THAT WAS THAT WAS A FUN EVENT. SPENT TIME WITH THE CITY STAFF HERE AT CITY HALL.WE HAD DONUTS WITH THE MAYOR.

SUCH A BIG HIT THAT WE HAD DONUTS WITH THE MUNICIPAL COURT LAST WEEK, DONUTS WITH THE MUNICIPAL COURT. THE UNSUNG HEROES OF THE CITY STAFF ARE NOT IN THIS BUILDING. THEY'RE IN THEIR OWN BUILDING, SO THEY FEEL LEFT OUT. SO WE MADE A MADE A POINT TO GO OVER THERE AND SPEND TIME WITH THE WITH THE JUDGES AND THE STAFF AND THE MARSHALS. AND WE HAD A HAD A GOOD VISIT OVER THERE. PAUL GRIMES, I SAY IT EVERY MEETING YOU AND YOUR STAFF ARE PROFESSIONALS TO COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA'S POINT, TOP TO BOTTOM, SOUP TO NUTS. YOU'RE THE BEST.
