OH, NO. I WAS GOING TO SKIP OVER YOU, JAMES. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

WE'LL GO OVER THE TOWN MANAGER'S REPORT, JAMES.

[G. TOWN MANAGER'S REPORT]

WE HAVE SOME EMPLOYEE RECOGNITIONS THIS EVENING.

[LAUGHTER] I'M HAVING A SHOOT WITH YOU TONIGHT YOU GOT IT. [LAUGHTER] YES. WE COULD DO IT UP THERE.

WHILE THE MAYOR IS COMING DOWN. JUST FOR EVERYBODY IN ATTENDANCE. EVERY MONTH, WE RECOGNIZE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE REACHED SERVICE MILESTONES 15 YEARS OR GREATER IN FIVE YEAR INCREMENTS. THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE SERVED THIS ORGANIZATION WELL FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY SEVEN PEOPLE RECOGNIZED IN THIS MONTH.

WE HAVE FOUR IN ATTENDANCE THIS EVENING. AND I'M GOING TO ASK OUR PROPERTY STANDARDS MANAGER, CHRISTA CROWE, TO COME JOIN US UP FRONT. AND WHAT WE DO IS JUST GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT THEIR, HOW THEY MOVED THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION. AND MY FAVORITE PART IS THAT WE HAVE A FUN FACT.

DON'T BE SHY. YOU CAN GET IN BETWEEN US. WE HAVE A FUN FACT ABOUT HIM.

WE HAVE A LOT OF VERY INTERESTING EMPLOYEES. BUT JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON CHRISTA.

SHE IS OUR PROPERTY STANDARDS MANAGER. SHE WAS HIRED ON AS A PART TIME SIGNED COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST IN AUGUST OF 2011.

IN JUNE OF 2012, SHE WAS PROMOTED TO THE FULL TIME PROPERTY STANDARDS SPECIALIST, AND SHE WAS PROMOTED TO HER CURRENT POSITION OF PROPERTY STANDARDS MANAGER IN APRIL OF 2014. AND SO CHRISTA'S FUN FACT IS THAT WHEN SHE HAS A LITTLE EXTRA FUN MONEY, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TOWARDS CONCERT TICKETS.

HER MUSIC TASTES RANGE ALL OVER THE MAP, FROM ALT ROCK TO R&B TO COUNTRY, CLASSICAL AND EVEN POST-PUNK.

SHE LOVES DISCOVERING GREAT LIVE MUSIC, AND HER FAVORITE SHOW SO FAR THIS YEAR WOULD HAVE TO BE THE TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND.

AND THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT GENERAL BLUES SHOW THAT'S HARD TO BEAT. AND I ACTUALLY, IT'S LIKE, WHO'S THAT? AND I LOOKED INTO IT. THEY'RE JAMMING. I WAS LIKE, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. [LAUGHTER]. AND SO IF YOU GOT LIVE MUSIC TASTE, YOU CAN HIT UP CHRISTA AND SHE CAN GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE.

BUT PLEASE JOIN ME IN THANKING CHRISTA FOR 15 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH THE TOWN OF FLOWER MOUND.

[LAUGHTER]. SO THIS MONTH, CHRISTA IS A BIT OF AN OUTLIER BECAUSE JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE WERE POLICE OFFICERS.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH OUR POLICE WING THIS EVENING. AND I'M GOING TO ASK SERGEANT. OH, NO. EXCUSE ME. NO, I'M JUMPING AHEAD. OFFICER TRACY HOOPER TO COME JOIN ME UP FRONT.

AND STAND NEXT TO ME. [LAUGHTER] I PROMISE YOU, I TOOK A SHOWER THIS MORNING.

I HADN'T BEEN RUNNING AROUND. I STAYED OUT OF THE HEAT, SO I SMELL SHE WAS HIRED ON IN AUGUST OF AUGUST 2011, AND TRACY'S FUN FACT IS THAT SHE'S ALSO AN ARTIST.

SHE LOVES CREATING ART AND SHARING IT WITH THE COMMUNITY.

SHE EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO SELL HER WORK AT LOCAL FESTIVALS, INCLUDING ART IN THE PARK, AND SHE'S HAD HER ARTWORK DISPLAYED HERE IN TOWN HALL.

IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE, WE HAVE A DISPLAY WALL FOR LOCAL ARTISTS OUT THERE, AND I REMEMBER YOUR ART WAS OUT THERE MAYBE SOMETIME LAST YEAR.

[00:15:04]

ALL RIGHT. COOL, COOL. SO YEAH, BUT IF YOU DO GET A CHANCE.

YEAH, I DO REMEMBER HER ART BEING DISPLAYED OUT THERE. BUT PLEASE JOIN ME IN THANKING OFFICER HOOPER FOR 15 YEARS OF SERVICE.

[APPLAUSE]. NOW WE WANT. HONESTLY, I FORGOT ABOUT THE OH, LOOK AT THAT BABY UP THERE. [LAUGHTER]. HE'S GOT A FULL BEARD AND EVERYTHING.

SERGEANT PULIS WANT YOU TO COME JOIN US UP FRONT.

THAT'S WAY BACK THERE. [LAUGHTER]. ALL RIGHT SO JAMES PULIS HE'S A POLICE SERGEANT WITH US.

HE WAS HIRED ON AS A POLICE OFFICER RECRUIT IN AUGUST OF 2011.

HE GRADUATED FROM THE POLICE ACADEMY AND BECAME A POLICE OFFICER IN DECEMBER OF 2011.

HE WAS PROMOTED TO HIS CURRENT POSITION A POLICE SERGEANT IN OCTOBER OF 2017.

AND SO HIS FUN FACT IS, HIS VERY FIRST HOME RUN IN BASEBALL GAME HAPPENED AT MINUTE MAID PARK.

NOW IT'S CALLED SOMETHING WEIRD IT'S NOT A BAD PLACE TO HIT YOUR FIRST ONE OUT OF THE PARK.

SO WHAT LEVEL WERE YOU PLAYING AT TO GET IT OUT OF A MAJOR LEAGUE PARK? SO I WAS 16. WE PLAYED THE HOUSTON AREA HIGH SCHOOL CLASSIC, AND I NEVER HAD A HOME RUN THAT ACTUALLY WENT OVER THE FENCE PLENTY LIKE INSIDE THE PARK, HOME RUNS. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW ABOUT MINUTE MAID PARK, BUT THE CRAWFORD BOXES ARE PRETTY SHORT.

SO I FINALLY GOT ONE OUT. THERE YOU GO. [LAUGHTER].

SO IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR, IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR FIRST HOME RUN, YOU WANT TO GET IT IN A MAJOR LEAGUE PARK.

SO PLEASE JOIN ME IN CELEBRATING 15 YEARS FOR SERGEANT PULIS.

[APPLAUSE]. AND FOR THE LAST OF OUR IN PERSON, I'M GONNA ASK SERGEANT CHRISTOPHER WOMACK TO JOIN ME UP FRONT.

SO SERGEANT WOMACK WAS HIRED AS A POLICE OFFICER RECRUIT IN AUGUST OF 2011.

HE GRADUATED FROM THE POLICE ACADEMY AND BECAME A POLICE OFFICER IN FEBRUARY OF 2012, AND HE WAS PROMOTED TO HIS CURRENT POSITION AS SERGEANT IN JANUARY OF 2021.

SO CHRISTOPHER'S FUN FACT IS THAT HE'S A PARENT OF FOUR KIDS, RANGING FROM 3 TO 18.

THAT'S A SPREAD, MAN.

AND WHEN HE'S NOT KEEPING UP WITH THEM, HE LOVES 3D PRINTING.

3D PRINTING, MOSTLY LOTS OF LITTLE FIDGETS, SCHOOL PROJECTS, AND THE OCCASIONAL CAN WE PRINT THIS REQUEST FROM HIS KIDS? SO WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING YOU'VE EVER 3D PRINTED? A SCHOOL PROJECT THAT WAS DUE AT ABOUT 8:00 A.M.

I PRINTED ABOUT MIDNIGHT [LAUGHTER] IS AN OUTLINE OF TEXAS THAT MY DAUGHTER FILLED IN WITH PAINT, PUFF PAINT TO DO THE REGIONS OF TEXAS LIKE THE GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS.

BUT LET'S DO IT 8:00 AND WE PRINTED IT AT MIDNIGHT.

SO IT'S A GREAT FUN NIGHT.

WE GOT AN A. [LAUGHTER]. YEAH. I WAS ABOUT TO SAY YOU WERE A DEDICATED DAD BECAUSE IF THIS WAS ONE OF MY KIDS.

I SAID, YOU NEED TO FIGURE THAT OUT YOURSELF. [LAUGHTER]. SO PLEASE JOIN ME IN THANKING HIM FOR 15 YEARS OF SERVICE.

[APPLAUSE]. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S THE LAST OF OUR IN PERSON. BUT I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THREE OTHER EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE HIT SERVICE MILESTONES.

WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF OUR POLICE OFFICERS, BRANDON WE HAVE JUDITH. JUDITH BRODERICK, WHO'S ACTUALLY ONE OF OUR TOWN MARSHALS AND WORKS FOR COURT SERVICES.

SHE HAS 20 YEARS. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE JOE GRAY IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT HIT 25 YEARS OF SERVICE.

SO WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE THEM ALSO. AND SO, MAYOR, THE LAST THING, WHILE I HAVE THE MIC, I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME QUESTIONS WITH SCHOOL STARTING UP FOR THIS YEAR.

YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT OUR SCHOOL ZONE SIGNS LOOK A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

IN THE PAST, WE HAD THE TIMES OF THE SCHOOL ZONE FLASHERS ON THERE, AND WE'VE REMOVED THOSE.

AND THE REASON WHY WE REMOVED THEM IS THAT IT'S PRETTY EXPENSIVE FOR US TO GO AND CREATE NEW SIGNS EVERY TIME MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS CHANGE THEIR HOURS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO WE SHIFTED THEM TO WHEN FLASHING. SO NATURALLY, WHEN YOU SEE THOSE FLASHES FLASHING, IT'S THAT APPROPRIATE TIME.

[00:20:04]

SO IT'S FLASHING. ASSUME THE SCHOOL IS IN PLACE.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS US TO SAVE ACTUALLY QUITE A BIT OF MONEY OVER $20,000 A YEAR.

BECAUSE IF ANYTHING ALTERS, WE HAVE TO PRINT ALL NEW SIGNS, POST THEM AND PUT EVERYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT.

SO ALL OF OUR SCHOOL ZONES IN TOWN ARE SUBJECT OR MAYBE A FEW TO STILL HAVE HOURS ON THEM.

BUT JUST MOVING FORWARD THAT OUR SCHOOL ZONE FLASHERS ARE SUBJECT WHEN FLASHING.

SO THAT IS MY UPDATE, MAYOR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU JAMES.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. DOES ANY COUNCIL MEMBER WISH TO ADD ANY FUTURE AGENDA ITEM? NOTHING? OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO COORDINATION OF CALENDARS.

[I. COORDINATION OF CALENDARS]

THE APPLICATION PERIOD IS OPEN FROM AUGUST 1ST THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH.

SO YOU STILL HAVE TIME. AND THEN SEPTEMBER 21ST IS OUR REGULAR MEETING.

AND THAT SHOULD BE A LONG ONE, BECAUSE WE ARE TABLING SOME ITEMS TONIGHT TO MOVE TO THE SEPTEMBER 21ST DATE.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO CONSENT. I WILL. EVERYBODY BE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE MEETINGS? OKAY. CONSENT ITEMS IS NEXT WE HAVE CONSENT ITEMS.

[J. CONSENT ITEM(S)]

SECOND. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. YOU'LL TAKE THE ROLL.

COUNCIL MEMBER WERNER. AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS.

AYE. MAYOR PRO TEM SCHIESTEL. AYE. OKAY. THE CONSENT ITEMS PASS BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

WE ARE GOING TO START THIS EVENING WITH OUR WORK SESSION BEFORE WE GET INTO OUR REGULAR ITEMS.

[K. WORK SESSION ITEM]

AND HERE TO PRESENT IS CHRIS EKRUT FROM THE NEWGEN SOLUTIONS.

WELCOME BACK. WELL GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

HOW ARE WE THIS EVENING? WE'RE GOOD. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN PULL THIS UP REAL QUICK.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, AGAIN, CHRIS EKRUT WITH NEWGEN STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS.

PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN TONIGHT TO GO THROUGH OUR RECOMMENDATIONS RELATIVE TO WATER, WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER RATES AS WE LOOK AT NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

SO HEADLINES TONIGHT AS WE LOOK AT WATER AND WASTEWATER, WE ARE RECOMMENDING AN INCREASE.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE'VE SHOWN SHOWN YOU THESE PROJECTIONS GOING FORWARD.

WE WERE ABLE TO ALIGN WITH THE SAME PROJECTION THAT WE SHOWED YOU LAST YEAR.

SO OVERALL WHAT THAT AMOUNTS TO AN AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL RATEPAYER.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU THESE GRAPHICS HERE IN JUST A SECOND, IS A LITTLE OVER $12 A MONTH FOR THE INCREASE.

THAT'S ABOUT 6.5 6.6% OVERALL ON THE COMBINED WATER AND WASTEWATER BILL.

ON THE STORMWATER SIDE, WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING ANY CHANGES GOING INTO NEXT YEAR.

SO REMAINING RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AT THE MOMENT.

SO AS WE DIVE INTO WATER AND WASTEWATER, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT RATES, HOW WE MAKE THESE ADJUSTMENTS, WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE IN AN OVERALL REVENUE SUFFICIENT POSITION THAT OUR REVENUES MATCH OR EXCEED OUR EXPENSES.

WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MAINTAINING OUR RESERVE POSITION AND MEETING OUR DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS.

THESE LAST TWO ITEMS ARE CRITICAL TO MAINTAINING YOUR BOND RATING.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE MAINTAIN THAT CREDIT RATING BY KEEPING THAT HIGH CREDIT RATING.

THAT HELPS US MAINTAIN A LOWER OVERALL COST OF BORROWING AS WE MAKE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS GOING FORWARD.

LOOKING BACK BEFORE WE LOOK FORWARD, WHAT YOU SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN IS REALLY A PROJECTION GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2014, GOING THROUGH LAST YEAR OR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, EXCUSE ME, 2026.

IF YOU WERE TO AVERAGE THAT OUT EVERY YEAR OVER THE COURSE OF THIS PERIOD, THE AVERAGE ANNUAL INCREASE IS ABOUT 3.35%.

WE DO BENCHMARK THAT AGAINST INDUSTRY STANDARDS.

IN THIS CASE, WE'RE USING AN INDEX THAT'S PUBLISHED BY THE SAINT LOUIS FEDERAL RESERVE.

[00:25:01]

WITH THAT, YOU HAVE HAD SOME HIGHER INCREASES IN THE MORE RECENT YEARS.

AGAIN, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, THAT'S DRIVEN BY BOTH CAPITAL AND WHOLESALE EXPENSE.

AS WE LOOK AT HOW THAT 3.35% BREAKS DOWN INTO THE COMPONENTS YOU SEE FOR DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF YOUR OVERALL REVENUE NEED HERE, THE LARGEST IS WHOLESALE. YOU'RE VERY AWARE WHOLESALE IS A SIGNIFICANT DRIVER OF YOUR INCREASES OR HAS BEEN.

IT'S A BIG PART OF YOUR BUDGET OVERALL, WHAT YOU PAY FOR WATER.

AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART. WE DO PASS THAT THROUGH EVERY YEAR ONTO OUR RATEPAYERS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE INTERNAL RESOURCES WE NEED TO MAINTAIN OUR OWN SYSTEM. BUT AGAIN, THAT ORANGE BAR, THAT'S THE WHOLESALE BAR THAT YOU'RE THAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH.

AS WE LOOK AT THE EXPENSE COMPARISON YEAR OVER YEAR, ABOUT $4.6 MILLION DIFFERENCE THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR TO NEXT FISCAL YEAR, THE BIG DRIVERS THERE $1.48 MILLION IN WHOLESALE INCREASE, $2.28 MILLION IN CAPITAL INVESTMENT.

I'LL REMIND YOU THAT CAPITAL INVESTMENT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.

WE HAVE TO REINVEST IN OUR SYSTEM. WE HAVE PIPES, PLANTS, PUMPS.

ALL THOSE THINGS BREAK DOWN OVER TIME AS WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE REINVESTING IN OUR SYSTEM.

AND YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB OF THAT. WE CONTINUE TO SEE GREATER NEEDS ON THAT CAPITAL INVESTMENT SIDE AS WE LOOK OVER THAT SAME PERIOD, 2014 TO 2027, WE LOOK AT THE COMPONENTS OF THE BILL.

I'LL POINT YOU TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN HERE.

THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN IN THOSE WATER EXPENSES.

58% OF YOUR WATER EXPENSE IS WHOLESALE. AND SO THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT DRIVER ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE.

NOT AS MUCH WHOLESALES 11 BUT YOU LOOK AT THE DEBT CAPITAL COMPONENT THERE BECAUSE YOU DO MAINTAIN YOUR OWN TREATMENT INFRASTRUCTURE.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR COLLECTION INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THAT SWINGS FROM WHOLESALE OVER TO THE DEBT CAPITAL SIDE IN MAINTAINING YOUR TREATMENT INFRASTRUCTURE.

AS WE LOOK AT OUR CAPITAL FUNDING GOING FORWARD, AGAIN IN 2027, WE'RE ESTIMATING OVERALL FUNDING HERE, $62 MILLION IN THAT CAPITAL FUNDING. MOST OF THAT IS DEBT.

DEBT IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL THAT WE USE FOR OUR UTILITY THAT ALLOWS US TO SPREAD REPAYMENT OVER TIME.

IT ALLOWS US TO ENSURE THAT THOSE ARE THAT ARE USING THE INFRASTRUCTURE, PAY FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

IT ALSO HELPS US KEEP RATES LOWER OVER TIME AS WE'RE ABLE TO PAY THAT OUT OVER TIME.

SO AGAIN, YOU DO HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL NEEDS GOING FORWARD.

AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THAT HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

WITH THAT, IN TERMS OF WHOLESALE EXPENSE, AGAIN MOST OF THIS IS ON THE WATER SIDE.

$28.6 MILLION WAS FOR 2026 GOING TO A LITTLE OVER $30 MILLION NEXT YEAR.

OVER TIME. THAT'S REPRESENTED ABOUT 58% OF YOUR BUDGET RIGHT NOW.

IT DOES REPRESENT CLOSER TO ABOUT 60% OF YOUR OVERALL BUDGET GOING INTO NEXT YEAR, BUT THAT IS A 5% INCREASE IN THAT EXPENSE.

ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE, A LARGER INCREASE, 13%, BUT IT IS A SMALLER COMPONENT OF YOUR OVERALL BUDGET.

SO AS WE LOOK AT THE PROJECTION GOING FORWARD, AGAIN, WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING FOR CONSIDERATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 27 IS A LITTLE OVER 6% INCREASE ON THE WATER SIDE. AN 8% INCREASE ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE IN THE PAST.

I'VE SHOWN THIS TO YOU. TOGETHER, WE ARE TRYING TO SEGREGATE THIS AND TAKE SEPARATE ACTION BETWEEN WATER AND WASTEWATER SO THAT WE ENSURE THAT THOSE COMPONENTS PAY FOR THEMSELVES. WE WANT WATER TO PAY FOR WATER, WASTEWATER TO PAY FOR WASTEWATER.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU DO SEE THOSE BROKEN OUT HERE.

THIS IS THESE ARE THE SAME NUMBERS FOR 2027 THAT WE SHOWED YOU LAST YEAR.

SO WE'RE MAINTAINING THAT, THAT OVERALL RECOMMENDATION.

I DO WANT TO POINT TO THOSE FUTURE INCREASES 28 TO 2031.

WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THESE FORWARD LOOKING PROJECTIONS.

WE MET WITH STAFF AT THE END OF LAST WEEK. LOOKING AT YOUR CAPITAL PLAN GOING FORWARD, STILL DETERMINING WHAT WE CAN DO TO POTENTIALLY MITIGATE SOME OF THOSE INCREASES IN THE FUTURE. A CHUNK OF THAT IS DRIVEN BY CAPITAL.

SO IF WE CAN PROPERLY MANAGE OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM, WE CAN POTENTIALLY BRING SOME OF THOSE FUTURE INCREASES DOWN A LITTLE BIT, WHICH IS WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PREVENTING RATE SHOCK IN MITIGATING THOSE IMPACTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS WHERE WE CAN.

BUT OVERALL, THAT 6% AND 8% GOING INTO NEXT YEAR GETS YOU IN THAT REVENUE.

SUFFICIENT POSITION, HELPS US MAINTAIN THOSE FINANCIAL METRICS.

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO AN AVERAGE CUSTOMER? AGAIN, HERE IN THE TOWN OF FLOWER MOUND, WE USE 15,000 GALLONS OF WATER FOR THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER, 8000 GALLONS OF WASTEWATER. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.

[00:30:03]

AS WE LOOK AT WATER USAGE. MOST COMMUNITIES ARE CLOSER TO ABOUT A 5 TO 8000 LEVEL.

YOU ARE A HIGHER WATER USE COMMUNITY. SO WE DO USE A HIGHER NUMBER HERE.

BUT 15000 GALLONS OF WATER, 8000 GALLONS OF WASTEWATER.

RIGHT NOW, THAT BILL RUNS $183.53 INTO NEXT YEAR.

OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO TAKE THAT TO 195.75.

THAT'S A LITTLE OVER $12 A MONTH. AGAIN, THIS DOES REPRESENT A HIGHER WATER BILL, LIKELY A SUMMER WATER BILL.

YOU PROBABLY HAVE SOME SUMMER WATER BILLS THAT ARE EVEN HIGHER THAN THIS IN THE WINTER.

THIS BILL I SHOW YOU THESE CHARTS EVERY YEAR. I SAY THE SAME THING EVERY YEAR.

THESE ARE NOT AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON.

AS WE LOOK AT OTHER COMMUNITIES, WE DO HAVE TO TAKE THE RATE ACTION THAT IS THE PROPER RATE ACTION FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THAT ALLOWS US TO MAINTAIN THE FINANCIAL STABILITY OF OUR UTILITY, ALLOWS US TO REINVEST.

AT THE SAME TIME AS I'M SHOWING YOUR 2027 BILL, YOUR FUTURE BILL.

I'M BENCHMARKING THAT AGAINST EVERYBODY ELSE'S BILL.

TODAY, COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE METROPLEX ARE GOING THROUGH THIS VERY SAME EXERCISE RIGHT NOW.

SO IF WE RERUN THIS IN OCTOBER OR JANUARY, THERE MAY NOT BE ANY DIFFERENCE.

YOU MAY NOT HAVE CHANGED ON THIS CHART BECAUSE OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE TAKING RATE ACTION RIGHT NOW, JUST AS YOU'RE EVALUATING WHAT ACTION YOU NEED FOR NEXT YEAR.

BUT AGAIN, RIGHT NOW, YOU SIT BASICALLY AT THE MIDDLE OF THIS CHART. 183.53 ASSUMING NO OTHER COMMUNITY CHANGES, YOU SEE THE BUMP UP THERE TO 195.75. I WILL TELL YOU, OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE CHANGING.

SO AGAIN, I DON'T ANTICIPATE A MEASURABLE CHANGE ON THIS GRAPH IN TERMS OF RELATIVE POSITION GOING INTO NEXT YEAR.

SO AGAIN LOOKING FOR COUNCIL FEEDBACK IF I CAN RIGHT QUICK, LET ME RUN THROUGH STORMWATER AGAIN.

THAT'LL BE VERY QUICK BECAUSE AGAIN, WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING A CHANGE TO STORM WATER.

BUT THEN I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE RELATIVE TO THE WATER AND WASTEWATER SIDE.

ON THE STORMWATER SIDE, SAME THING. WE ARE LOOKING FOR OVERALL REVENUE SUFFICIENCY.

OUR RESERVE POSITION, OUR RESERVE TARGET IS A LITTLE LOWER.

ON THE STORMWATER SIDE, THIS IS A SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER FUND.

SO WE MAINTAIN A LOWER RESERVE POSITION HERE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW GETS US WHERE WE NEED TO BE GOING INTO THE FUTURE.

NOW, I WILL SAY THERE ARE LIKELY SOME NEEDS THAT MAY ARISE IN THE FUTURE, PARTICULARLY AS WE THINK ABOUT STORMWATER CAPITAL INVESTMENT THAT WE DON'T KNOW TODAY.

SO WHILE WE LOOK SUFFICIENT OVER THE FIVE YEAR FORECAST RIGHT NOW, WE WILL HAVE TO EVALUATE AND CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THIS AS WE GO FORWARD TO SEE WHAT ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NEEDED. BUT AGAIN, OVERALL REVENUE SUFFICIENT POSITION.

YOUR RESERVE POSITION IS MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST.

RIGHT NOW YOU'RE GENERATING ABOUT $2.9 MILLION OVERALL IN THAT, AGAIN, I'LL REMIND YOU, LAST YEAR WE DID CHANGE HOW WE CHARGE FOR STORMWATER, WHERE ALL RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS PAY THE SAME MONTHLY FEE, AND THEN WE CHARGE OUR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS BASED ON IMPERVIOUS AREA.

SO WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION LAST YEAR ABOUT EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

AND SO CONTINUING TO MAINTAIN THAT STRUCTURE GOING FORWARD.

THAT MONTHLY FEE IS $6.50 RIGHT NOW. SO YOU SEE AGAIN THE PROJECTION THE COST PROJECTION GOING FORWARD, THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THAT COST PROJECTION.

AND THEN THE SAME COMPARISONS I SHOWED YOU LAST YEAR SHOWING YOU THOSE SAME COMMUNITIES THIS YEAR.

YOU SEE WHERE YOU SIT HERE, $6.50, BASICALLY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE THERE FOR THAT RESIDENTIAL COMPARISON.

AS WE LOOK AT YOUR EXCUSE ME, YOUR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF COMPARISONS HERE BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE CUSTOMER.

IN THIS CASE, THIS IS A SMALL COMMERCIAL CUSTOMER, 8.2 ERUS $53.05 WOULD BE THAT BILL AS WE GO TO MORE OF A MEDIUM LEVEL.

8.3 YOU SEE, YOU ARE STILL SITTING TOWARDS THE LOWER PORTION OF THIS GRAPH.

YOU'RE NOT ON THE BOTTOM LIKE YOU WERE LAST YEAR.

SO WE HAVE BUMPED UP A LITTLE BIT THERE. BUT AGAIN, YOU DO SEE THAT YOU'RE STILL IN LINE AS WE LOOK AT THE LARGER COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

157.08 AND THEN AS WE LOOK AT THAT SIGNIFICANT SUPERSTORE, 113 ERUS HERE AGAIN, WE'VE NOW BROUGHT YOU IN LINE WITH WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE CHARGING. YOU'RE CERTAINLY NOT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST, BUT YOU'RE NOT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST EITHER.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE ON STORM WATER. AGAIN, NO CHANGE ON STORM WATER.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ON THE WATER AND SEWER SIDE.

COULD YOU GO TO SLIDE NINE? YES, MA'AM. AND JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IN 27 WE HAVE A 13% INCREASE.

BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY IN 28 WE HAVE A NEGATIVE FOUR.

[00:35:03]

AS YOU HAVE A CAPITAL PROGRAM, THEY HAVE A CAPITAL PROGRAM.

AND WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS BASICALLY CASH CAPITAL SPENDING WHERE THAT CASH CAPITAL SPENDING IS ANTICIPATED TO BE HIGHER ON THEIR PART IN 27 THAN THAT COMES DOWN IN 2028. SO THAT'S REALLY ALL THAT REPRESENTS IS THE IMPACT OF THEIR CAPITAL PROGRAM.

JUST AS YOU REEVALUATE YOUR BUDGET EVERY YEAR, THEY REEVALUATE THEIR BUDGET EVERY YEAR AS WELL.

SO I WOULD BE SURPRISED TO SEE A 4% REDUCTION, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE PROJECTION IS AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU. CAN YOU GO BACK? SO YOU TALKED ABOUT AN INCREASE A 5% INCREASE.

CORRECT? BUT CAN YOU SHOW ME THAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT AGAIN.

WHAT SLIDE WAS THAT? SO ARE WE. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TO THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER? YES. SO $12 TO THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE AFTER HERE? IT'S GOING UP $12? YES, MA'AM. SO THIS WOULD BE THE IMPACT TO THE AVERAGE MONTHLY BILL.

SO WHAT'S DRIVING THIS COST? IS IT INFLATION? IS IT LESS CONSUMPTION? WHAT? AND NOW WE HAVE TO DRIVE THE PRICE UP? YOU ARE WHOLESALE EXPENSES. AGAIN, YOUR WHOLESALE IS INCREASING.

SO WHAT YOU PAY TO BOTH DWU AND UPPER TRINITY, THAT'S AN INCREASE.

THE OTHER BIG DRIVER IS CAPITAL INVESTMENT. SO AS WE COME BACK AND LOOK AT THAT CAPITAL PROGRAM THAT THE TOWN HAS $62 MILLION IN INVESTMENT IS WHAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING NEXT YEAR. WHILE YOU AS YOU THINK ABOUT AN AGING COMMUNITY, YOU DO HAVE TO MAINTAIN, YOU DO HAVE TO REPLACE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND SO THAT IS PART OF WHAT IS DRIVING THAT, NOT ONLY INFLATION AND OPERATIONS, BUT ALSO THAT CAPITAL SPEND.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE STAY ON TOP OF THAT CAPITAL SPEND.

IF WE DELAY THAT CAPITAL INVESTMENT, ALL THAT DOES IS CAUSES THE SYSTEM TO BREAK DOWN THAT MUCH MORE AND CAN ACTUALLY DRIVE OUR COST HIGHER IF WE DELAY THAT CAPITAL INVESTMENT. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE STAY ON TOP OF THAT.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR CIP HERE IN A FEW MINUTES, WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL OF THE WATER SYSTEM INVESTMENT THAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. AND THAT'S WHERE YOU GOT THESE NUMBERS FROM? YES, SIR. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO SPEND, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE ON DEBT. YES, SIR. OKAY. CAN YOU GO BACK TO SLIDE FOUR? SO I KNOW THAT IT KIND OF PAINTS A ROSY PICTURE BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, AVERAGE ANNUAL INCREASE, 3.35%. BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY SINCE 2022 THAT WE'VE HAD OUT OF CONTROL INFLATION.

SO WHAT IS OUR AVERAGE ANNUAL INCREASE IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS? YOU'RE PROBABLY RUNNING CLOSER TO ABOUT 6%. 6%.

IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES, NOT JUST THE WATER SYSTEM SINCE 2022, AS IT SEEMS TO BE THE TIME WHEN PRICES FOR EVERYTHING HAVE GONE OUT OF CONTROL.

SO, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY 10% ANNUAL INCREASE IS UNSUSTAINABLE.

WE CAN'T DO THAT. THE, THE WHOLESALE COSTS YOU'RE PROJECTING WAS IF IT WAS THAT THE OTHER SIDE THAT YOU JUST HAD SHOWN THE, THE MAYOR. YES. SO OKAY, SO THEY'RE GOING TO GO UP SIGNIFICANTLY AND THEN MORE DOWN PERHAPS, AND THEN A MORE REASONABLE. ACTUALLY AT THE END HERE THERE'S A BIG DROP OFF AT THE END SO.

THAT IS TRUE. SO BASICALLY ALL WE'RE DRIVING ALL OF OUR OWN COSTS INCREASE MOSTLY NOT WHOLESALE.

OKAY. I WAS LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM.

SO THAT AGAIN, WHOLESALE, WHEN I'M REFERRING TO WHOLESALE, I AM REFERRING TO UPPER TRINITY AND DALLAS.

BUDGET. YES, SIR. SO THEY'RE PROJECTING 5%, WHICH OBVIOUSLY WOULD JUST GET PASSED THROUGH.

THERE'S NO GETTING AROUND THAT. BUT THE OTHER HALF OF THE INCREASE IS REALLY OUR OWN CIP.

YES, SIR. OKAY. SO WE HAVE TO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

OBVIOUSLY, WE CAN'T DO 10% INCREASES EVERY YEAR.

THAT CIP, WHERE WE CAN SHIFT THINGS TOO TO TRY AND BRING THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

RIGHT. SO HOW MUCH OF THE WATER BILL IS WHOLESALE WATER COSTS? SO ON THE WATER BILL, ABOUT 60% OF YOUR YES, SIR. OKAY. SO THAT MEANS THAT THE OTHER WELL, IT'S THEN OUR OWN CONTRIBUTION TO THAT 10% INCREASE IS QUITE A BIT MORE THAN 5%.

YES, SIR. YEAH. OKAY. SO WE'VE GOT SOME ROOM THERE WHERE WE CAN DO SOME ANALYSIS.

YES, SIR. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO THAT. YEAH. OKAY.

AND WE JUST CAN'T DO THAT TO THE RESIDENTS. IT'S JUST A LOT. AND WE.

IF THERE'S SPACE TO, TO NEGOTIATE ON THAT, WE NEED TO DO THAT.

OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? IT'S A GRIM. IT'S A GRIM PICTURE THAT YOU.

[00:40:16]

OKAY. THANK YOU CHRIS, I APPRECIATE IT.

OKAY. WELL, WE HAVE ANOTHER FUN SESSION. [LAUGHTER] THIS IS A GOOD ONE.

WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES OUR CONSULTANT BRANDI BIRD IS HERE TO GO OVER SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE, CONFRONTING IN THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION STARTING IN JANUARY 2027.

BRANDI, IT'S ALL YOURS. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME THIS EVENING.

WE'RE GOING TO JUST BUILD ON THE LAST BRIEFING THAT I GAVE YOU A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AS WE CONTINUED TO DEVELOP YOUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA FOR THE 2027 LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

SO WE TALKED A FEW WEEKS AGO ABOUT SOME OF THE INTERIM HEARINGS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKING PLACE IN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, AND SO HOUSE LAND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A FEW WEEKS AGO.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL OVERSIGHT.

AND SO THEY HAVE MORE HEARINGS COMING UP IN THE FUTURE.

SO WE'LL BE CONTINUING TO MONITOR THAT PROCESS AS THAT GOES FORWARD.

AND THEN THE SENATE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE HAS A HEARING COMING UP ON SEPTEMBER 1ST.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE AS WELL. THEY'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON THE DEVELOPMENT FEES AND REALLY ALL CITY RELATED FEES AT THIS HEARING.

SO THAT'LL BE A BIG FOCUS FOR THAT PARTICULAR COMMITTEE AND A BIG FOCUS OF OUR DISCUSSION FOR THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA AS WELL.

AND SO WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS JUST WALK YOU THROUGH THE PRIORITIES THAT WE HEARD FROM YOU IN OUR LAST BRIEFING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS JUST NARROW DOWN YOUR PRIORITIES TO REALLY THE TOP TIER, THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON THE MOST.

AND WE'RE HOPING TO GET TO A HANDFUL, 5 TO 7 ITEMS THAT WOULD TRULY REFLECT YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITIES.

SO WE'RE AT ABOUT 9 AT THIS POINT. AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU IF THERE ARE OTHER ITEMS THAT YOU WANT TO ADD. AND THEN WE INTEND TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS AFTER THIS, WHERE WE CONTINUE TO NARROW THOSE DOWN AND REALLY FOCUS IN ON WHAT YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITIES ARE. SO THE FIRST COUPLE OF ITEMS DEAL WITH ZONING.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THESE ITEMS QUITE A BIT. IT'S ALSO BUILDING ON OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA FROM LAST SESSION AND ALL THE HARD WORK THAT ALL OF YOU DID TO, TO WORK ON ADVOCATING ON BEHALF OF THESE ITEMS. SO THE FIRST ONE DEALS WITH SUPPORTING LEGISLATION THAT PROTECTS SMALLER COMMUNITIES ABILITY TO REGULATE MINIMUM LOT SIZE.

THIS WOULD REALLY BE A FOLLOW UP ITEM FROM YOUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA LAST SESSION, PROTECTING THE POPULATION BRACKETS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST IN STATUTE.

THE SECOND ONE IS IN A SIMILAR VEIN SUPPORTING LEGISLATION THAT MAINTAINS SMALLER COMMUNITIES ABILITY TO REGULATE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP FROM SB 40. 840, EXCUSE ME, LAST SESSION.

AND THE POPULATION BRACKETS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST IN STATUTE AS PART OF THAT LEGISLATION AS WELL.

BRANDI, IS THIS ONE ITEM OR IS THIS FOUR ITEMS? IT'S FOUR ITEMS. SO THEY'RE ALL VERY SIMILAR AND RELATED.

IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. ALL IN THE SAME VEIN, BUT REALLY FOUR SEPARATE ITEMS. SO I WOULD CALL THIS ONE ITEM ZONING. AND GOING TO THOSE HEARINGS, THEY LUMP THEM ALL TOGETHER AND HAVE ONE HEARING FOR ALL OF THESE TOO.

[LAUGHTER]. THEY DON'T TREAT THEM REALLY ANY DIFFERENTLY. INDEED, AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT ON THAT.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NEGOTIABLE ON THE NUMBER OF PRIORITIES WHEN WE GET TO THE END.

IT'S YOUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA. SO IT'S REFLECTIVE.

REFLECTING UPON WHAT YOUR PRIORITIES ARE. I THINK THE ONLY CAVEAT THAT I WOULD JUST ADD TO THAT IS AS WE WALK OUR LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION THROUGH THESE PRIORITIES, IF WE GET TO TOO MANY, THEN IT'S SORT OF WATERS DOWN THE IMPORTANCE OF EACH OF THE ITEMS. SO THAT'S THE GOAL. OKAY. AND TRYING TO NARROW IT DOWN A BIT.

BUT I BUT I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT. THE THIRD ITEM VERY SIMILARLY, IS ADUS.

THIS IS ALSO AN ITEM THAT CARRIED FORWARD FROM OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA LAST SESSION.

AND THEN THE FOURTH IS AN ITEM THAT COUNCIL MEMBER SCHIESTEL HAS BROUGHT FORWARD, SUPPORTING LEGISLATION THAT WOULD PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER AND PRIORITIZE INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERSHIP OVER LARGE-SCALE CORPORATE INVESTMENT.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT JUST A SECOND. YES. SO IT SEEMS LIKE WHAT THE LEGISLATURE IS TRYING TO DO, SO THEY SAY, IS THEY BELIEVE THAT HOMES ARE TOO UNAFFORDABLE.

NOT LACK OF WATER CAPACITY. SEWER CAPACITY. ROADWAY CAPACITY.

[00:45:04]

THEY JUST WANT CITIES TO GET OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO MAKE HOUSES CHEAPER.

NOW WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT A DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT CALLED MONARCH, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING TOWNHOMES ON ZERO LOTS, AND THEY'RE TELLING US THEY'RE GOING TO BE SEVEN $800,000.

SO THAT IS NOT AFFORDABLE. NEW CONSTRUCTION IS ALWAYS TOP OF MARKET.

IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE. IT'S UNAFFORDABLE FOR SMALLER HOMES ON SMALL LOTS. WE HAVE A LOT OF THEM.

THEY'RE INEXPENSIVE, BUT THEY'VE ALL BEEN SCOOPED UP AND NOW THEY'RE MOSTLY RENTALS.

LIKE 50% OR MORE IN A LOT OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RECENTLY PASSED A HOUSING BILL, AND IN IT, THEY SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT CORPORATE BUYERS BUYING UP HOMES.

AND THERE, I GUESS, ACCORDING TO THAT BILL, GOING TO RESTRICT HOW MANY WALL STREET FIRMS SO IF CITIES HAD MORE. WERE EMPOWERED TO REGULATE THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS A LITTLE BIT MORE TO GET THE RENTERS THE NUMBER OF RENTALS DOWN. NOW, ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD BE JUST ALLOWING US TO PROHIBIT SHORT TERM RENTALS, WHICH MOSTLY MOST PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

BUT WHEN SHORT TERM RENTALS COME IN AND BUY UP ALL THE HOUSING STOCK. HOUSING PRICES GO UP.

IF THEY WON'T GIVE US THOSE TOOLS, IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THAT THEY'RE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT TRYING TO MAKE HOMES AFFORDABLE FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS.

SO I'M ESSENTIALLY I WANT TO CALL THEIR BLUFF A LITTLE BIT AND SEE, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT THEY REALLY WANT TO DO? IF AFFORDABILITY IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO START.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TAKING SIMILAR ACTION.

SO I'M HOPING THAT WITH CONGRESS PASSING THAT LAW AND THE PRESIDENT, I GUESS NOT SIGNING IT, BUT LETTING IT GO THROUGH THAT, THEY WILL WANT TO GET ON BOARD THAT TRAIN.

AND I THINK THERE MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE US SOME TOOLS TO HELP MAKE THESE NEIGHBORHOODS UNLOCK THE MARKET IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO IF WE CAN GET THAT ONTO THE AGENDA, THAT'D BE GREAT.

THANK YOU IT'S ZONING. IT'S, YOU KNOW, ADUS, LOT SIZES, MULTIFAMILY ENTITLEMENTS, IT'S ALL ONE.

AND THOSE BILLS MAY BE SEPARATE, BUT THEY'RE ALL JUST ONE ITEM IN MY OPINION.

AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THINGS POP UP DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS AT THE LAST MINUTE.

BILLS POP UP SO UNDERSTOOD. AND THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION ON YOUR BEHALF.

IT'S REALLY MEANT TO BE YOUR TOP TIER PRIORITIES THAT YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE TO YOUR LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION.

SO THIS IS JUST A WORK IN PROGRESS. THIS IS MY SECOND BRIEFING.

WE'LL BE BACK IN NOVEMBER FOR FINAL ADOPTION.

SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF TIME TO MASSAGE THESE PRIORITIES AND MAKE SURE THAT IT TRULY REFLECTS YOUR TOP TIER CONCERNS.

THE NEXT ITEM RELATES TO DEVELOPMENT FEES. THIS IS THE ITEM THAT WE WERE SPEAKING OF EARLIER, THAT THE SENATE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE IS REALLY FOCUSED ON, AND JUST ENSURING THAT YOUR EXISTING TAXPAYERS ARE NOT SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT AND THAT DEVELOPERS ARE MAINTAINING THOSE FEES. THE NEXT ITEM THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM ALL OF YOU AS A PRIORITY IS RELATED TO EXPENDITURE CAPS TIED SOLELY TO POPULATION INFLATION OR PRIOR YEAR SPENDING.

THIS IS A THEME. IT'S BEEN PART OF THE GOVERNOR'S PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PACKAGE, SOMETHING THAT WE ANTICIPATE WILL BE COMING FORWARD AND CERTAINLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION UNDERSTANDS THE RAMIFICATIONS OF SOME OF THOSE ITEMS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT.

AND THE LAST ITEM RELATES TO OR THE LAST ITEM ON THIS PAGE RELATES TO SALES TAX SOURCING.

THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAME UP WITH ONE OF YOUR LARGE SALES TAXPAYERS IN THE AND THERE ARE OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THAT SAME KIND OF SITUATION.

AND THERE WILL BE LEGISLATION MOVING FORWARD THIS SESSION TO CLOSE THAT LOOPHOLE.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING FOR CONSIDERATION THAT YOU ALL HAVE RAISED AS A CONCERN.

AND THEN THE FINAL TWO ITEMS YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE AS WELL, THESE ARE CARRYOVERS FROM YOUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA FROM LAST SESSION.

IT'S RELATED TO SUPPORTING FUNDING FOR THE TECH UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER IN FLOWER MOUND, AND THEN ALSO SAFEGUARDING YOUR RESIDENTS DATA PRIVACY AND RELATED TO VIDEO SURVEILLANCE.

SO THOSE ARE THE NINE PRIORITIES THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM YOU AT THIS POINT BASED ON ALL THE DISCUSSIONS WE CERTAINLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE ARE ANY PRIORITIES THAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO THE LIST, AND THEN WE'LL BE GOING THROUGH A PROCESS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK ON YOUR TOP 5 TO 7, AND WHERE WE LAND ON WHAT YOU THINK THE HIGHEST PRIORITY ITEM SHOULD BE.

I MEAN, I THINK THE LIST IS STILL VERY GOOD. YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T GET VERY FAR ON THE TEXAS TECH PRIORITY LAST YEAR.

[00:50:02]

WE JUST DIDN'T GET VERY MUCH TRACTION. BUT ON THE OTHER ISSUES, WE REALLY DID DO WELL ON THE LAND USE ISSUES.

I STILL WANT TO FOCUS ON THE MUNICIPAL EXPENDITURE CAPS.

OF COURSE NUMBER ONE, OPPOSE THAT ONE SIZE FITS ALL KIND OF LIMITATION ON USING OUR MUNICIPAL EXPENDITURES.

AND THEN JUST LOOKING AT THAT LAND USE AUTHORITY.

I JUST REALLY WANT TO PUT THAT IN THE TOP, TOP OF THE LIST.

YOU KNOW, JUST PROTECTING US FROM THE DEVELOPER.

DEVELOPER STANDARDS. INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES. ZONING.

YOU KNOW, LIKE ADAM SAID, JUST KEEP THAT ON THE TOP OF THE LIST AND JUST THOSE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUE RESTRICTIONS.

I THINK ALL OF THOSE, ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD. BUT I THINK KEYING IN ON THOSE, THESE ITEMS WILL BE TOP PRIORITIES.

AND I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO COME UP IN SO MANY VARIOUS WAYS.

I DO WANT TO BRING UP, I WANT TO SIDETRACK A LITTLE BIT TO COUNCIL.

I DID GO TO A MEETING LAST WEEK. IT'S THE METROPLEX.

METROPLEX MAYORS ASSOCIATION, IT WAS ON AUGUST 11TH AND IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING MEETING.

I KNOW BRANDI WAS GOING TO COME TO THAT. IT'S IT WAS GIVEN BY THE MAYOR OF GEORGETOWN, JOSH SCHROEDER, AND THEIR TOWN MANAGER, DAVID MORGAN. AND THE TITLE OF THE MEETING WAS EFFECTIVELY ENGAGING LOCAL COMMUNITY ABOUT TEXAS LEGISLATOR. LEGISLATURE, AND THEY HAVE A GREAT INITIATIVE WITH BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER ON FIGHTING SOME OF THESE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES, OR I SHOULD SAY, SUPPORTING SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE ON A LOCAL LEVEL.

AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE AND WHAT I PROPOSE THAT WE DO TO EMULATE WHAT THEY'VE DRIVEN AND WORKED FOR THEM IS THIS INITIATIVE OF A LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

IT'S LIKE AN AMBASSADOR PROGRAM THAT THEY DO.

AND SO THEY CREATE THIS AMBASSADOR PROGRAM WHERE THEY BRING IN TOP COMMUNITY INFLUENCERS.

SO YOUR RESIDENTS THAT ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM, BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, AND YOU BRING THEM TOGETHER. AND I'M TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY INFLUENTIAL IN THE COMMUNITY.

YOU BRING THEM TOGETHER, JUST LIKE WE DID WITH THE BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE, SIMILAR TO THAT, WHERE YOU BRING IN ALL YOUR IDEAS, WORK WITH OUR STAFF AS WELL, WHERE WE WANT TO GO TO THE HOAS, GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT WE GET THESE BIG INFLUENCERS AND THEN YOU HAVE THEM TALK TO THE REPRESENTATIVES.

AND IT'S WORKED OUT QUITE SUCCESSFULLY FOR GEORGETOWN.

AND WE SAW THEY WERE DOWN THERE FOR THE LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS IN 2025, AND THEY HELPED WITH THE POPULATION BRACKETS THAT WE DID FIGHT FOR AS WELL.

AND WE WERE SUCCESSFUL ON THAT. AND BY DOING THIS KIND OF AMBASSADOR PROGRAM, IT JUST REALLY ENGAGES THE COMMUNITY.

AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'D LIKE OUR COUNCIL TO LOOK AT AND POSSIBLY PROPOSE.

WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT ON AS AN AGENDA ITEM, BUT WE COULD DO WE COULD FORMULATE A COUNCIL OR A, LIKE A, THE, THE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM WHERE WE ELECT TWO PEOPLE PER COUNCIL MEMBER AND THEN CREATE THAT JUST LIKE WE DID THE BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE AND, AND HAVE THAT DRIVE IT WITH THE STAFF AND COUNCIL, IF YOU ALL WOULD BE OPEN TO THAT.

I THINK IT WOULD. YES. WORK WELL WITH ENGAGEMENT.

GETTING THE PUBLIC INVOLVED IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

AND A LOT OF THESE ITEMS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON ARE REALLY IMPACTFUL.

IF THEY WERE TWO STORIES TALL, FIVE FEET FROM THE FENCE, AND RENT IT OUT, AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE LEGISLATURE HAS MADE IT AN ENTITLEMENT, THEN THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM, AND YOU HAVE NO RECOURSE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T COME TO YOUR LOCAL. YOU CAN'T THROW US OUT IF WE'RE NOT DOING A GOOD JOB BECAUSE IT'S AUSTIN THAT MAKES THOSE DECISIONS. THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOWN THERE FIGHTING. SO YEAH, WELL, THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED AND MAKE THEIR VOICE HEARD.

AND BY THE WAY, I DO HAVE SOME MORE ITEMS. ABSOLUTELY.

SO ARE YOU ALL OKAY WITH DOING. YES, YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. AN AMBASSADOR PROGRAM? SOUNDS GREAT. OKAY. OKAY, WE'LL SET THAT UP THEN.

THAT FOR ME, THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. WE LOST A LOT OF MONEY THIS YEAR.

YES. AND ARE WE RANKING? SORRY, ADAM. JUST REALLY ONE QUICK QUESTION BEFORE YOU ADD TO IT.

ARE WE KIND OF. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU KIND OF RANKED THEM A LITTLE BIT HERE.

ARE YOU'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR US TO GIVE THAT FEEDBACK TOO, RIGHT?

[00:55:03]

IT WAS REALLY JUST THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM YOU.

SO DON'T TAKE IT TO MEAN THAT THIS IS THE ORDER OF PRIORITIES.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR THAT DIRECTION FROM ALL OF YOU, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT TODAY EITHER.

OUR INTENTION IS TO SEND OUT A SURVEY TO YOU WITH ALL OF THE ITEMS INCLUDED HERE, AS WELL AS ANY NEW ONES THAT GET ADDED THIS EVENING, AND THEN LET YOU SPEND SOME TIME ON IT AND REALLY MAKE THE DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT YOUR TOP PRIORITIES ARE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO GOING BACK TO THE FIRST SLIDE.

SO WE HAVE THE ZONING. I THINK WE'RE GOOD ON THAT.

WE DEFINITELY ZONING AND SUPPORTING SOME LOCAL CONTROL OVER RENTALS IS MY TOP PRIORITY.

SO THEN ON THE NEXT PAGE YOU HAD THE FINANCE RELATED BILLS.

SO YOU HAD THE ONE HERE ABOUT THE EXPENDITURE CAP.

I'M NOT SURE THAT I BELIEVE THAT SERIOUS PROPOSAL.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WOULD. I MEAN, WE SAW THE THE PRESENTATION ON WATER.

IF THEY PUT AN EXPENDITURE CAP ON AND YOU COULDN'T BUY WATER OR, OR PURIFY THE WATER AND IT WAS DIRTY.

AND IF IT RUNS AT ALL, BECAUSE WE CAN'T SPEND ANY MONEY, THAT WOULD BE ABSURD.

LIKE, I DON'T REALLY THINK THAT THAT'S A SERIOUS PROPOSAL. I THINK WHAT IS A SERIOUS PROPOSAL IS REDUCING THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE.

AND I THINK WE SHOULD OPPOSE THAT BECAUSE THE VOTER APPROVAL RATES AT 3.5%, WHICH MEANS WE HAVE TO GO TO AN ELECTION.

IF WE GO ABOVE THAT IN COLLECTING ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TAX FROM RESIDENTS, AND I THINK IT'S A PRETTY GOOD CAP.

IT FORCES US TO MAKE A LOT OF HARD DECISIONS.

THE STAFF HAS DONE A GREAT JOB. WE'LL SEE THAT HERE IN A MINUTE. IF THEY GO LOWER, ALL IT WILL DO IS FORCE US TO HAVE AN ELECTION EVERY YEAR OR TWO.

AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO FROM 2.5% TO 3.5%. WE'RE GOING TO GO FROM 2.5% TO 8%, AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE EVERYBODY'S TAXES GO MUCH, MUCH HIGHER THAN THEY CURRENTLY ARE. SO I THINK THEY NEED TO HEAR THAT.

I DIDN'T SEE THAT ON HERE. AND I THINK THAT'S MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE SOMETHING THAT WILL CALL US DOWN THERE THAN AN EXPENDITURE CAP PERSONALLY. BUT MAYBE WE GO DOWN THERE AND DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME LIKE WE DID LAST TIME, LIKE THE IMPACT FEES.

IMPACT FEES ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW DEVELOPERS PAY THEIR OWN WAY.

IF THEY DON'T LET US COLLECT IMPACT FEES, WHICH IS ONE OF THE PROPOSALS TO MAKE IT HARDER, THAT JUST MEANS THAT TAXPAYERS ARE SUBSIDIZING BECAUSE IMPACT FEES JUST PAY FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S REQUIRED FOR DEVELOPMENT.

SO IF THE TAXPAYERS HAVE TO PICK UP THE TAB, THEN IT MAKES YOUR TAXES GO UP, WHICH WE'RE TRYING NOT TO DO.

I THINK. SO THAT'S ANOTHER ONE. LOCAL ELECTIONS WAS NOT MENTIONED ON HERE.

THERE'S A PROPOSAL TO MOVE ALL LOCAL ELECTIONS TO NOVEMBER.

THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD BECAUSE WE SAW THAT IN 2020.

AND WHAT HAPPENS IS WE GET OUR MUNICIPAL CANDIDATES ON THERE AND EVERYONE GOES DOWN THE LINE.

THEY'RE EITHER VOTING ON THE TOP OR THE BOTTOM, DEPENDING ON WHICH PARTY THEY'RE AFFILIATED WITH.

AND AS THEY GO DOWN THE LINE, THEY JUST KEEP DOING THE SAME THING. SO WHOEVER GETS FIRST BALLOT ON THE BALLOT IN THE DRAW IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO WIN THE ELECTIONS IN FLOWER MOUND AND THAT'S IT. THE VOTERS WOULD BE ELECTED AT RANDOM, ESSENTIALLY.

I'M NOT SURE THAT'S WHAT ANYBODY WANTS. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WOULD BE VERY GOOD LEGISLATION.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A PRETTY SERIOUS. THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT. SO I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE THAT ON OUR LIST. IT'S BEEN INTRODUCED FOR THE LAST SEVERAL SESSIONS AND CERTAINLY GOTTEN FURTHER AND FURTHER EVERY SESSION.

SO YES, I THINK THAT'S A SERIOUS TOPIC. I WOULD KEEP THAT ON HERE.

OR NOT RIGHT. SOMEWHERE RIGHT HERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE, PROBABLY. THERE'S ONE OTHER THAT HAS NOT BEEN MENTIONED, KIND OF CAME UP BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ITEM ON OUR AGENDA LATER, AND WE TALKED ABOUT OUR UTILITY RATES AND HOW THEY'RE GOING UP FOR WATER PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY.

FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE UTILITY RATE INCREASES FROM ONE OF OUR UTILITY PROVIDERS, A REGULATED INDUSTRY THAT IS ABLE TO JUST BASICALLY PASS THE COSTS ON.

AND THERE'S REALLY NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. SO IT'S BEEN GOING BACK TO 2020.

7%, 7%, 7%, 9%. AND THIS YEAR IT'S PROPOSED TO BE 12 OR 13%.

SO THERE'S A LAW CALLED GRIP AND RRM, WHICH IS RATE REVIEW.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO GET TABLED SO. YEAH AND TRY TO GET THEM MORE AUTHORITY TO REVIEW THESE AND FORCE THESE UTILITIES TO JUSTIFY THE RATES THEY'RE CHARGING.

I MEAN, A 12% INCREASE IN ONE YEAR, THAT'S OVER 50% IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

SO THAT'S PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. IT'S DEFINITELY AFFECTING AFFORDABILITY.

IT'S DOING THEY'RE DOING MUCH WORSE THAN WE ARE WITH OUR WATER BILL. SO I WOULD ADD THAT IF THAT'S IF THERE'S SOMEWHERE WE CAN FIT IT IN ON HERE.

ABSOLUTELY.

THAT'S THE KIND OF FEEDBACK WE WANTED TO GET FROM YOU TONIGHT. AND SO WE'LL ADD THAT TO THE LIST. I'LL GET WITH STAFF ON THAT ITEM, AND WE'LL BE SENDING THIS BACK OUT TO YOU TO GET MORE FEEDBACK.

ARE YOU. ARE WE PLANNING ON HAVING ANYONE FOR THOSE INTERIM HEARINGS? IS THAT SOMETHING WE'RE TRYING DO THEY NEED LOCAL OFFICIALS DOWN THERE TO TESTIFY THOSE INTERIM HEARINGS?

[01:00:06]

I KNOW THAT'S A LAST MINUTE REQUEST MANY TIMES.

AND SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO THAT.

THE SENATE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE HEARING IS THE ONE THAT'S COMING UP NEXT.

THAT'S ON SEPTEMBER 1ST. AND SO WE'LL GET WITH YOU AND DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SCHEDULE.

BUT THAT'S THE DEVELOPMENT FEE IMPACT FEE RELATED HEARING.

AND WE WOULD LOVE TO.

BASICALLY ALREADY HAD THEIR DELIBERATIONS IN THE BACK.

AND SO ABSOLUTELY, THE TESTIMONY IS MORE IMPACTFUL DURING THE INTERIM.

OKAY.

THE SENATE COMMITTEES LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR RECENTLY REVAMPED THOSE COMMITTEES AND MADE SOME CHANGES.

SO I WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT IT WOULD BE FAIRLY CONSISTENT NEXT SESSION.

OKAY. THERE'S ALWAYS SOME CHANGES BASED ON THE ELECTION, BUT I WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE PRETTY CONSISTENT.

OKAY.

ANY OTHER FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THE ITEMS BEFORE I TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS? COUNCIL? NO. OKAY, GOOD. THANK YOU FOR THAT. JUST A FEW FOLLOW UP ITEMS. THIS IS THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA THAT YOU'RE SEEING TODAY.

WE HAVE MEETINGS SCHEDULED WITH OUR LEGISLATORS TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE FINANCIAL IMPACTS AND SOME OF THE FINANCIAL BILLS THAT WE SAW IN THE SPECIAL SESSIONS, AND SOME WE'RE ANTICIPATING NEXT SESSION. THOSE ARE COMING UP IN AUGUST, SEPTEMBER.

AND THEN WE'LL. I'LL BE COMING BACK BEFORE YOU WITH FINAL LEGISLATIVE LANGUAGE NOVEMBER 2ND.

AND SO WE EXPECT YOU TO FINALLY ADOPT THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA AT THAT COUNCIL MEETING.

AND THEN WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER ROUND OF MEETINGS WITH OUR DELEGATION AFTER THAT, BEFORE THE SESSION STARTS IN JANUARY.

SO WE STILL HAVE A FEW MONTHS TO WORK ON THIS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT Y'ALL ARE COMFORTABLE AND THAT IT TRULY REFLECTS YOUR PRIORITIES.

BY THE TIME I COME BACK TO SEE YOU IN NOVEMBER.

AGAIN I APPRECIATE IT. THE ONE THING I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON IS MAYOR TO YOUR SUGGESTION, THAT KIND OF FALLS RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHAT WE ALREADY ANTICIPATED AND PLANNED ON DOING.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE AN EXTRA EFFORT GOING INTO THIS SESSION IS MAKING SURE THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE CLEARLY INFORMED ON THESE CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THEY COULD SUPPORT IT.

THEY COULD BE AGAINST IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE EQUIPPED. AND SO OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO BE GEARED UP TO STEP UP OUR EFFORTS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT CERTAIN LEGISLATION THAT'S OUT THERE.

AND WE CAN CERTAINLY WORK WITH YOU GUYS TO WRAP INTO THIS CONCEPT OF THESE AMBASSADORS INTO THE TO THE MIX.

SO IT KIND OF SOMEWHAT ALIGNS WITH WHAT WE ALREADY DID, BUT THIS TAKES IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. SO AS A STAFF, WE'LL GET TOGETHER. WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH BRANDI TO, TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PUT BEFORE YOU BEFORE WE START THAT IN EARNEST.

BUT YEAH, THE KEY IS GOING TO BE IS GEORGETOWN HAS PROBABLY SET THE STANDARD FOR HOW THEY INFORM THEIR RESIDENTS.

AND, AND THE MAYOR AND I'VE BEEN AT TML CONFERENCES AND WITH BRANDI TOO, AND JUST KIND OF SAW THAT.

SO WE'VE BEEN KIND OF STUDYING UP WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO DO IN OUR OWN FLOWER MOUND TWIST IN OUR OWN WAY.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU BRANDI. OKAY.

THAT'S ALL OUR WORK SESSION ITEMS. WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS.

[Items L.1. & L.2.]

SO MEG IS GOING TO PRESENT ON THIS. YES. SO GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO TONIGHT WE DO HAVE OUR TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS, ONE FOR THE CRIME DISTRICT, ONE FOR THE FIRE DISTRICT.

I'M GOING TO DO A VERY HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY QUICK WE HAVE 30.5 FTES BUDGETED IN THAT FUND. THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT ELSE IN THERE.

THERE'S NO DECISION PACKAGES WE'RE RECOMMENDING OUT OF CRIME DISTRICT THIS YEAR.

AND OF NOTE, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THE POINT THAT BASED ON, AS WE ALREADY ALLUDED TO WITH SOME OF THE SALES TAX AND SOURCING ISSUES WE HAVE REDUCED THAT BUDGET ON THE SALES TAX REVENUE BY 7% BASED ON THOSE CHANGES.

WHICH IS WHAT NECESSITATED THAT MOVING. YOU SEE MY NOTE OF SIX DETENTION OFFICERS BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND.

SO IT'S. THIS FUND IS PRETTY MUCH THE PERSONNEL THAT ARE BEING FUNDED OUT OF THE CRIME DISTRICT WITH THOSE SALES TAX FUNDS.

MEG GO AHEAD AND EXPLAIN THE SALES TAX DECREASE AND WHAT CAUSED THAT.

[01:05:01]

AND SO THAT REMOVED THE PAYOUTS. TEXAS HAS SOME VERY I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT WORD HERE IS, BUT OUR SOURCING DEPENDS ON WHERE THE SALE HAPPENS.

AND IF THEY HAVE A PRESENCE IN THE STATE, THEY HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER SAYING WHERE THOSE SALES HAPPENS.

WHICH IS WHERE IT WAS CONSOLIDATED IN IN A SEPARATE COMMUNITY AND REMOVED THOSE FUNDS FROM US AND REROUTED UP TO THAT COMMUNITY.

AND SO WE PRUDENTLY, BASED ON A BUDGETARY STANDPOINT, CAN EXPECT TO COLLECT THOSE DOLLARS.

SO WE HAVE REDUCED THAT REVENUE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.

SO WHEN WE MOVE INTO THE FIRE CONTROL PREVENTION, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES DISTRICT, PRETTY MUCH SAME STORY.

WE DID HAVE TO MOVE ONE POSITION OUT OF THIS FUND AND BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND.

WE HAVE THE DECREASE IN SALES TAX. THIS FUND IS NOW PRETTY MUCH COVERING THE PERSONNEL EXPENSES FOR THE FIRE DISTRICT.

NO DECISION PACKAGES, NO OTHER THINGS WERE PROPOSING FOR THIS FUND FOR NEXT YEAR.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT THIS IS OUR PUBLIC HEARING FOR THESE TWO FUNDS.

BEFORE WE MOVE INTO ADOPTION NEXT MONTH. WITH THE OVERALL BUDGET.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU, MEG, AND I'LL OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC HEARING ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME.

AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS CORRECT FOR THIS ONE? OKAY. GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE. ALL RIGHT. NO TAKERS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DELIBERATE, IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.

THERE'S NO ACTION WITH THIS. I'M SORRY.

OKAY. OKAY. THEN THAT'S ALL THESE ONES I HAVE FOR BUDGET TONIGHT.

YEAH. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO SKIP OVER ITEM 3. WE'RE GOING TO TABLE THE ARGYLE HIGH SCHOOL BUS PARKING TO SEPTEMBER 21ST.

AND WE ARE ALSO GOING TO TABLE ITEM. TABLE ITEM 11 TO SEPTEMBER 21ST. AND BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE A QUORUM, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ITEM 12 TO SEPTEMBER 21ST AS WELL. SO THAT LEAVES US WITH.

THERE WE GO TO GO TO ITEM NUMBER. SORRY TO INTERRUPT. IT'S UP TO YOU ALL.

BUT THE ONLY THE ITEM THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WERNER HAS A CONFLICT ON CANNOT BE VOTED ON BECAUSE OF QUORUM ISSUES. YOU'RE CERTAINLY WELCOME TO VOTE TO TABLE THE OTHER ITEMS IF YOU'D LIKE.

JUST IN TERMS OF THE PAST PROCEDURE.

YEAH. YEAH. DO YOU ARE YOU ALL OKAY WITH TABLING? I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO TABLING. OKAY. THEIR REQUEST.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR, I'LL MOVE TO TABLE ITEMS 3, 11, AND 12 UNTIL THE SEPTEMBER 21ST MEETING.

SECOND. YOU CAN TAKE THE ROLL. I'M SORRY, WHO WAS THE SECOND? ME. OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER WERNER.

MAYOR PRO TEM SCHIESTEL. AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER WERNER. AYE. OKAY. THOSE ITEMS WILL BE TABLED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 21ST.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 4. THIS IS THE MIDWAY RESIDENTIAL PUBLIC HEARING.

[L.4. ZPD26-0007 - Midway Residential - Public Hearing to consider an ordinance for rezoning (ZPD26-0007 – Midway Residential) from Single-Family District-10 (SF10) uses to Planned Development District No. 211 (PD-211) with Single-Family District-10 (SF-10) uses and with certain exceptions and modifications to the Code of Ordinances. The property is generally located south of Wanda Lane and west of Midway Road. (PZ recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 0 at its August 10, 2026, meeting.)]

AND LEXIN IS GOING TO PRESENT ON THIS. AND MAYOR COULD I ALSO JUST COMMENT QUICKLY AS WELL, JUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE AUDIENCE AS WELL? SO WE ONLY HAVE THREE VOTING COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE THIS EVENING.

YOUR CHARTER REQUIRES OR PROVIDES ESSENTIALLY THAT NO ITEM CAN BE PASSED UNLESS AT LEAST THREE AFFIRMATIVE VOTES TAKE PLACE.

AND SO JUST FOR FULL DISCLOSURE TO THIS APPLICANT THAT WOULD REQUIRE UNANIMOUS VOTE TONIGHT.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THIS APPLICANT, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE'S HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH THIS APPLICANT ABOUT WHETHER THEY WANT TO TABLE. I'LL LET LEXIN WEIGH IN. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO DO THAT? THE PROJECT MANAGER, CODY, DID SPEAK TO THE APPLICANT AND THEY WERE STILL INTERESTED IN MOVING FORWARD.

UNLESS THAT'S CHANGED. NO, WE'RE STILL OKAY [LAUGHTER]. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A ZONING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MIDWAY RESIDENTIAL.

[01:10:05]

IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE. IT'S A LIGHTER YELLOW THERE, BUT IT'S SOUTH OF WANDA LANE AND WEST OF MIDWAY.

HERE'S A CLOSER UP VIEW. SO IT INCORPORATES THESE FOUR PARCELS.

THERE'S THIS ONE WHICH IS ACTUALLY JUST A PRIVATE ROAD WAS THE PREVIOUS USE OF THE PARCEL.

IT WOULD NOW BE JUST AN ACCESS EASEMENT WITHIN THE OVERALL LOT.

AND THEN THE OTHER THREE ARE ALSO LOTS WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THEY HAVE ONE OWNER FOR ALL FOUR LOTS. AND SO THE OWNER IS INTERESTED IN COMBINING THEM INTO ONE LOT.

AND DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURES THAT CREATED SOME ISSUES WITH THE SETBACKS, BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY OLD DEVELOPMENT. AND SO IT USED TO BE UNDER YOU CAN SEE IT USED TO BE UNDER OUR SF-3 OBSOLETE REGULATIONS. SO THERE WERE LESSER SETBACKS FOR THOSE THE TOWN CONVERTED.

SF-3 TO SF-10. AND SO WHENEVER PROPERTIES REPLAT EVEN WHEN THEY'RE IN THESE OLDER SUBDIVISIONS, THEN THEY COME INTO COMPLIANCE WITH SF-10 STANDARDS.

AND SO THAT CREATED SOME ISSUES FOR THIS PROPERTY DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING HOUSE.

SO THE LAND USE IS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. AND AGAIN, THAT ZONING IS SF-10 WITH UNDERLYING SF-3 OBSOLETE REGULATIONS.

HERE'S A CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY. YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING HOUSE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE CIRCLE DRIVEWAY THERE.

AND AGAIN THIS IS AN ACCESS THIS IS A PLATTED ACCESS EASEMENT.

AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AS AN ACCESS EASEMENT FOR THOSE ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS ESTABLISHED WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAT A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO.

AND IT WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO SERVE AS A FIRE ACCESS EASEMENT AS WELL.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS ESTABLISHED WITH A RECENT PLAT.

LEXIN WHICH SIDE OF THE HOUSE IS THE FRONT? THE FRONT IS HERE WHAT FACES MIDWAY.

OKAY, SO NO ONE'S ACTUALLY USING THE THIS THE ACCESS EASEMENT AS THE DRIVEWAY FOR THIS HOUSE.

IT'S ACTUALLY, I THINK THESE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS ON EITHER SIDE OF IT WERE USING IT FOR SOME ACCESS TO THEIR YARDS THERE.

BUT THE, THE HOUSE WAS NOT ACTUALLY USING THAT FOR ACCESS.

SO IT'LL JUST REMAIN IN AS IS CONDITION. IT WILL NOT BE THE ACCESS POINT FOR THE HOUSE.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY OFF OF MIDWAY.

AND SO JUST LOOKING AT THESE SETBACKS, THE MODIFIED SETBACKS.

SO THE REAR IS THE LEFT SIDE IN THIS PICTURE AND THE SIDE IS THE BOTTOM OF? YES. OKAY. THAT'S THE REAR YARD SET BACK AND THE SIDE.

OKAY. YES. SO AGAIN, THIS IS THE VIEW DOWN THAT FROM WANDA LANE DOWN JUST THIS KIND OF EXISTING ACCESS EASEMENT.

AND HERE IS A VIEW LOOKING WEST FROM MIDWAY TO WHERE THE ACTUAL HOUSE IS LOCATED.

SO MODIFICATION REQUESTS FOR THE SF-10 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM DIMENSION STANDARDS.

AND AS A CLARIFICATION, WHEN THIS WENT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THEY WANTED TO MAKE THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE SETBACK TO ONLY APPLY TO THE EXISTING STRUCTURES. SO IF FOR SOME REASON IN THE FUTURE, THIS HOUSE WAS DEMOLISHED, THAT THEY WOULD BUILD THE NEW STRUCTURE IN COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT SF-10 STANDARDS. BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE NO REASON TO HAVE TO BUILD IT SO CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINES BECAUSE IT IS A, A PRETTY LARGE PROPERTY. I THINK IT'S OVER HALF AN ACRE.

SO THE, THAT THE ORDINANCE HAS BEEN. THAT'S IN THE PACKET HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT THAT THE PROPOSED SETBACK MODIFICATIONS ONLY APPLY TO EXISTING STRUCTURES. OTHER CHANGE THAT THE APPLICANT PROPOSED IS TO SAY THAT THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE WOULD BE 15,000FT², RATHER THAN 10,000FT². AGAIN, IT'S IN SF-10, SO 10,000 IS THE MINIMUM.

BUT THE COMBINATION OF THIS LOT IS, IS OVER 10,000FT².

LIKE I SAID, IT'S CLOSE TO MORE LIKE A HALF AN ACRE. SO THEY JUST WENT AHEAD AND BROUGHT IT UP TO THAT LOW DENSITY OR 15,000FT² SIZE.

TOWN CODE REQUIRES A MINIMUM FRONT YARD SETBACK OF 25FT.

APPLICANT'S PROPOSING 15. TOWN CODE REQUIRES MINIMUM SETBACK OF 10.

APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 8. TOWN CODE REQUIRES MINIMUM REAR SETBACK OF 25.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 10. AND THEN ALSO APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THE COMBINED FLOOR AREA OF ALL ACCESSORY BUILDINGS TO NOT EXCEED 1000FT².

TOWN STANDARD FOR SF-10 IS TYPICALLY ONLY 750FT², OR 25% OF THE FLOOR AREA OF THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE, WHICHEVER IS LESS. THE. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE APPLICANT INDICATED THEY DIDN'T HAVE IMMEDIATE PLANS TO BUILD ANYTHING,

[01:15:06]

BY COMBINING THESE FOUR LOTS, THEY WERE HOPING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY SHOULD THEY WANT TO BUILD A NEW ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE FAIRLY LIMITED WITH THE EXISTING SMALLER HOUSE AND HAVING TO BE 25% OF THAT FLOOR AREA.

SO AGAIN, HERE IS THAT CONCEPT PLAN AND THE CAPTION.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL HAS.

AND THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

SO YOU WERE SAYING PROPOSING THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.

BUT THIS IS THE ACTUAL. RIGHT? THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS IS WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS WHAT'S ACTUALLY SETBACKS.

YES. WHAT IS PROPOSED IS TO MEET ACTUAL CONDITIONS.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. LEXIN THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE LOT IS HOW MUCH? LET ME SEE HERE. TOTAL SQUARE FOOT, 0.64 ACRES.

SO WOULD THERE WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO DIVIDE THIS INTO TWO LOTS OF 15,000FT²? I DON'T THINK SO. RIGHT? IT WOULD BE KIND OF IMPORTANT TO KNOW IF THEY CAN DIVIDE THIS INTO TWO LOTS UNDER THESE STANDARDS.

I DON'T THINK THEY CAN. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CORRECT. I DON'T BELIEVE SO.

I WOULD HAVE TO DO THE MATH.

OKAY. WITH SOMEBODY IN THE AUDIENCE TOLD ME NO.

[LAUGHTER] OKAY. I THINK IT'S LIKE 28,000FT, SQUARE FEET, BUT I'M NOT SURE.

I THINK THE ANSWER TO THAT IS IT'S KIND OF.

I WOULD APPRECIATE IF WE COULD JUST BE 100% SURE.

OKAY. BUT THE INDIVIDUAL PLATS ARE GOING TO STAY INDIVIDUAL PLATS? THEY'RE NOT REPLATING TO? NO THEY'RE GOING TO REPLANT THEM INTO ONE LOT.

SO THEY COULDN'T ACTUALLY SUBDIVIDE IF THEY'RE REPLATING, THEY'D HAVE TO COME BACK.

THAT'S TRUE HONESTLY. LIKE I SAID, I MEAN.

WE DON'T HAVE TO. 27,840 IS WHAT THIS CALCULATOR SAID BUT.

SO THERE WOULD BE NO WAY UNDER THESE STANDARDS TO DIVIDE IT INTO TWO LOTS. YES. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO BE SURE. BUT I WANTED TO JUST EXPAND ON WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER WERNER WAS SAYING BECAUSE HE IS ACTUALLY ALSO CORRECT. ONCE THIS IS.

AND THIS IS THAT'S WHY THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD WITH A CONCEPT PLAN ALSO.

SO THAT THE COUNCIL KNOWS THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TRY TO JUST APPLY THESE SMALL SETBACKS TO ALL THESE INDIVIDUAL LOTS.

THERE IS A CONCEPT PLAN SHOWING HOW THE PROPERTY WOULD BE DEVELOPED.

AND THEN ALSO, AND THEY ACTUALLY HAD TO DO THIS BEFORE THEY COULD PLAT.

THEY ORIGINALLY JUST WANTED TO TAKE FORWARD A PLAT, AND WE WERE LIKE, OH, WE CAN'T LET YOU PLATT INTO PLACE.

YOU'RE CREATING NONCONFORMITIES BY DOING IT. SO THAT'S WHY THEY HAD TO DO THE ZONING PROCESS FIRST, AND THE TOWN WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO GET SMALLER ONCE THEY PLAT IT AS ONE LARGER LOT, BECAUSE THIS IS AN AREA THAT'S STILL ON SEPTIC, AND THE STATE DOESN'T EVEN ALLOW YOU TO CREATE NEW LOTS THAT ARE SMALLER THAN HALF AN ACRE ON SEPTIC SYSTEMS. AND THE TOWN ALSO WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO, AFTER CREATING A LARGER LOT, TO THEN MAKE IT SMALLER AND LESS CONFORMING ON SEPTIC.

SO FOR MULTIPLE REASONS, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN THIS INTO TWO LOTS IN THE FUTURE ENDS UP BEING LOWER DENSITY.

LOW DENSITY. YEAH. AND I THINK PLANNING ZONING WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT IF THEY TEAR IT DOWN AND REBUILD, THEN IT DOESN'T. YES. AND THE APPLICANT WAS IN AGREEANCE WITH ADDING THAT CONDITION.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

ANYONE ELSE? DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK WITH THE APPLICANT? DO YOU NEED TO ASK ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE ANY EITHER.

SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING? NO. YEAH. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO I WILL OPEN THIS TO PUBLIC COMMENT. DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY. NO TAKERS. SO AND TRACY, WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS.

OKAY, SO WE'LL CLOSE THIS. IF COUNCIL DOESN'T WISH TO DELIBERATE ANY FURTHER, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

NO, I WAS JUST GOING TO AGREE WITH CLAIRE THAT THE P&Z MODIFICATION, WHICH I THINK IS ALREADY IN HERE, SO WE DON'T NEED TO MAKE A MOTION FOR IT.

YES. OKAY. I MAKE A MOTION. I MOVE TO APPROVE REGULAR ITEM I FOR MIDWAY RESIDENTIAL AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER.

WERNER. AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS. AYE. MAYOR PRO TEM SCHIESTEL.

AYE. OKAY. THIS ITEM. MIDWAY. RESIDENTIAL PASSES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

[01:20:08]

[Items L.5. - L.10.]

AND TOMMY DALTON WILL PRESENT ON THIS. AND, MAYOR, IF YOU DON'T MIND, BECAUSE IT'S ALL CONNECTED.

OPENING UP THE MONARCH ITEMS NINE AND TEN AS WELL.

SURE. YEAH. WE WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP ITEMS NINE AND TEN.

AND ALL. WELL, THOSE ARE PUBLIC. ALL OF THOSE ARE PUBLIC HEARING S THE BOUNDARY.

THE BOUNDARY AGREEMENTS ARE NOT PUBLIC HEARINGS.

BUT AGAIN, IT'S CALLED KIND OF ALL INTERTWINED.

THE ONE OH JUST NINE IS PUBLIC HEARING JUST NUMBER NINE.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. OKAY. SO JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WHAT'S IN YOUR PACKET IS FOR, FOUR DIFFERENT PARCELS THAT I'LL GET INTO.

IT'S A JOINT ORDINANCE AND BOUNDARY AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE TOWN OF FLOWER MOUND AND ARGYLE FOR ESSENTIALLY FOUR TRACTS OF LAND, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 70.5 ACRES. THIS IS ALLOWED UNDER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 43015, WHICH ALLOWS CITIES TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR AREAS LESS THAN 1000FT IN WIDTH. THAT'S WHY THERE'S FOUR OF THEM IN FRONT OF YOU.

HERE'S THE GENERAL LOCATIONS OF THE SUBJECT TRACTS.

THE MONARCH PIECE IS THIS BIG PIECE OF PROPERTY HERE.

AND YOU MAY RECALL THAT THE ORIGINAL ZONING FOR MONARCH WAS APPROVED BACK IN JANUARY OF OF 2025.

AND SO SUBJECT TO THAT AFTER THAT APPROVAL, I STAFF CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER ON THE PROJECT, AND THEY ARE PROPOSING SOME AMENDMENTS THAT ARE LATER IN THE AGENDA, BUT THAT INCLUDED THE DEVELOPER REACHING OUT TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS FOR THIS PROPERTY HERE AND THIS PROPERTY HERE, AS WELL AS THESE TWO TRACKS HERE REGARDING, YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPAND THE TOWN'S COMMERCIAL TAX BASE ALONG I-35.

AND THAT'S THE TRACK NUMBER THREE, STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT.

AND I DON'T WANT TO STEAL TOO MUCH OF THE, THE THUNDER FROM THE ACTUAL ZONING APPLICATION, BUT THIS HAS BEEN IN PROGRESS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW.

THE SHOULD THE COUNCIL PASS THESE AGREEMENTS, THEN THE TOWN COUNCIL WILL TAKE THEM UP AT THEIR SEPTEMBER 21ST MEETING.

AND SO I'LL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.

THIS IS A PRETTIER DRAWING. THAT'S ME IN POWERPOINT.

THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER. SO THANK YOU.

SO FOR THE FIRST TWO BOUNDARY TRACKS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THIS ACREAGE HERE.

EVERYTHING IN THIS KIND OF REDDISH. I DON'T KNOW COLORS VERY WELL.

PURPLE. THAT'S THE TOWN OF FLOWER MOUND. THIS IS ARGYLE UP HERE.

SO THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED AG. IT'S PLANNED FOR CAMPUS COMMERCIAL.

HOWEVER, AS YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE LINES, I DO KNOW THAT COLOR PRETTY WELL.

THAT'S FLOODPLAIN AND IT'S ESSENTIALLY INACCESSIBLE FROM THE TOWN OF FLOWER MOUND.

AND SO WE HAD MULTIPLE DISCUSSIONS WITH THAT PROPERTY OWNER AS WELL AS THE CURRENT DEVELOPER OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH LED TO CONVERSATIONS WITH ARGYLE BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER'S INTEREST ACTUALLY DEVELOPED THIS PROPERTY, BUT THERE'S NO ACCESS FROM THE TOWN. SO THAT CONVERSATION MATURED.

AND EVENTUALLY WHAT IS ON ARGYLE'S AGENDA TONIGHT IS THE DEVELOPER DONATING THIS LAND TO THE TOWN OF ARGYLE, AND IT'S DEED RESTRICTED FOR PARK AND OPEN SPACE PURPOSES.

THAT'S ON THEIR AGENDA TONIGHT. SO THROUGH ALL THAT WAS THE CULMINATION OF THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT IS THE BEST USE FOR THIS PROPERTY SINCE IT'S NOT ACCESSIBLE FOR THE TOWN OF FLOWER MOUND. AND ALL PARTIES INVOLVED FELT THAT PARKS AND OPEN SPACE WOULD BENEFIT BOTH COMMUNITIES MUTUALLY.

THAT PROPERTY IS ACCESSIBLE FROM THE TOWN OF ARGYLE, JUST NOT FROM THE TOWN OF FLOWER MOUND.

THAT'S TRACKS ONE AND TWO FOR TRACK THREE. THIS IS PLANNED AS IF ALL THIS GETS APPROVED WOULD BE AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF THE MONARCH APPLICATION.

AND AGAIN, THEY'LL GET INTO THE DETAILS. BUT ESSENTIALLY IT ALLOWS FOR THE MONARCH DEVELOPERS TO UTILIZE THIS PROPERTY TO GAIN MORE COMMERCIAL LARGE COMMERCIAL RETAIL. THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IS IN ARGYLE, SOUTH OF THE FLOODPLAIN AREA AND IS ADJACENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT LATER IN THE AGENDA.

AND THEN OUR FINAL PIECE IS A SMALL PIECE THAT IS IN THE TOWN, BUT WOULD BE GOING TO ARGYLE TRACK NUMBER FOUR.

IT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FLOODPLAIN. VERY SIMILAR ISSUE AS TRACKS ONE AND TWO IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE, THE BRIDGE THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE BUILT FOR SUCH A SMALL PIECE OF TRACT IN THE TOWN DOESN'T REALLY BENEFIT US AS MUCH AS WHAT WE COULD GET WITH THE MONARCH EXPANSION RELATIVE TO TRACK NUMBER THREE, AND THIS ALLOWS THE PROPERTY TO BE UTILIZED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

[01:25:03]

THAT PRETTY MUCH CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THESE AGREEMENTS ARE STILL UNDER REVIEW BY THE ARGYLE ATTORNEY.

AND SO IF THE COUNCIL CHOOSES, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT THEY APPROVE THEM SUBJECT TO THE TOWN ATTORNEY FINAL APPROVAL.

AND, TOMMY, THAT JUST MAKES SURE THAT IF WE DO OUR SIDE AND THEN ARGYLE DOESN'T DO THEIRS, THEN THERE'S NO PROBLEMS. RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT. AND THAT THE ATTORNEYS AGREE ON THE LANGUAGE. IT'S PRETTY BENIGN LANGUAGE UNDER THE STATUTE, SO WE CAN'T IMAGINE IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT BACK AND FORTH ON THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE IN THE ORDINANCE.

SO I'LL ASK A DUMB QUESTION, TOMMY. WHY ARE THERE FOUR ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA? BECAUSE OF THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE. THIS IS THE SECTION UNDER TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

SO WE CAN ONLY GO A FOOT IN WIDTH OR 1000FT IN WIDTH.

AND SO IN PARTICULAR THIS, THIS LARGER TRACT HERE, WE HAVE TO TAKE IT IN 1000 FOOT OR 999 FOOT CHUNK.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST CHUNK. THAT'S THE SECOND CHUNK. THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE KIND OF AREAS.

AND SO THEY'RE THEIR OWN AGREEMENT. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, NONE OF THIS IS CURRENTLY OWNED BY ANY MUNICIPALITY.

IT'S ALL PRIVATELY OWNED. THAT IS CORRECT. AND WHO INITIATED THIS ACTION? IT BEGAN WITH CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEVELOPER OF THE MONARCH PROJECT.

SO IT'S TRACK THREE IS WHAT IS DRIVING THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION, WHICH IS PART OF ARGYLE.

IT'S OUR INTEREST IN TRACK THREE. THAT IS CORRECT.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALONG 35.

AND IF WE APPROVE THESE AND TRACT ONE AND TWO, WHICH ARE CURRENTLY PRIVATELY OWNED, BECOME ARGYLE PARKS AND PERPETUITY DEED RESTRICTED.

THEY CAN NEVER BE DEVELOPED. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU, TOMMY, SO MUCH. OKAY. I BELIEVE JONATHAN KIRBY.

YOU'RE COMING. IS IT JONATHAN KIRBY? I THINK PROBABLY HAVE ME DO THE THE PD PRESENTATION.

OKAY. JONATHAN CAN COME. OKAY. PRESENTATION.

OKAY. VERY GOOD.

SO I'LL BE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT THE ZONING PLAN, DEVELOPMENT MODIFICATIONS, AND ALSO THE PARKS BOARD RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO AS YOU'RE AWARE, THIS IS THE GENERAL LOCATION.

A MORE DETAILED VIEW. LAND USE IS CAMPUS COMMERCIAL AND HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

AND THE ZONING IS PD 200 WITH CAMPUS COMMERCIAL AND SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED USES.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO START WITH KIND OF ALL OF THE EXCEPTION OR MODIFICATIONS REQUESTS THAT ARE PART OF THIS BECAUSE THIS IS AN EXISTING PD.

SO THAT'S REALLY WHY IT'S COMING BEFORE YOU IS BECAUSE THEY'RE WANTING TO MODIFY OR CHANGE SOME OF THOSE STANDARDS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED. SO I'LL JUST GO THROUGH ALL OF THOSE INITIALLY. SO FIRST IS FOR THE COMPATIBILITY BUFFER, THE TOWN CODE REQUIRES A BRICK OR MASONRY WALL TO BE ACTUALLY AT THE PROPERTY LINE BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

AND SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT THIS WALL BE OFFSET BY ONE FOOT ON THE SIDE OF THE NONRESIDENTIAL USE.

THEY SAID IT HAS TO DO WITH THE FOOTING. THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ADEQUATE SPACE AND NOT HAVE IT LIKE RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY LINE.

THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME TOPOGRAPHY SIGNIFICANT TOPOGRAPHY IN THAT AREA.

ANOTHER MODIFICATION REQUEST TO THE TOWN STANDARDS IS TO ALLOW FOR A TEMPORARY DRY DETENTION TO BE PERMITTED IN PHASE ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE TOWN STANDARDS WOULD NORMALLY REQUIRE A WET POND TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH RETAIL OR RESIDENTIAL USES RESTAURANT USES AS WELL. AND SO IN THIS CASE THE FINAL END PRODUCT WILL BE A WET POND, BUT THEY WANT TO HAVE AN INTERIM CONDITION OF A DRY DETENTION POND. WHILE SOME OF THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS.

AND SO IT'S KIND OF A MODIFICATION BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT REQUESTING THE EXCEPTION TO NOT ACTUALLY EVER MAKE IT A WET POND.

THEY'RE JUST ASKING TO PHASE IT IN. LEXIN. DO YOU MIND EXPLAINING JUST TO THE COMMUNITY WHAT THE DRY POND IS, WHAT THE PURPOSE IS FOR THAT? SO EITHER OF THOSE EITHER DRY OR WET POND IS IT'S A DETENTION POND.

AND SO IT'S TO DETAIN WATER FROM A SITE STORMWATER AND ENSURE THAT IT DOESN'T FLOOD ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

SO, YOU KNOW, BY USING A POND, IT KIND OF HOLDS IT IN PLACE.

YOU KNOW, WE SAY POND, BUT AGAIN, THAT'S WET VERSUS DRY.

IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO PHYSICALLY HAVE WATER IN IT ALL THE TIME.

AS I KNOW I WOULD TYPICALLY THINK OF WITH A POND IT CAN JUST BE AN AREA THAT IS DESIGNED TO HOLD WATER WHEN YOU HAVE A HEAVY RAIN.

AND SO IF YOU DO HAVE A POND THERE, YOU'LL JUST HAVE KIND OF EXTRA STORAGE.

[01:30:01]

AND JUST KIND OF SLOWLY DISSIPATE. SO THAT'S HOW THESE WORK.

THANK YOU. SURE. SO THAT'S WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED IS TO PHASE THAT IN ANOTHER MODIFICATION REQUEST FOR BUILDING 201 AND 202. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A LANDSCAPE MODIFICATION TO THE TOWN'S AGGREGATE OR INORGANIC MATERIALS STANDARD.

AND SO TOWN CODE STATES THAT AIM AGGREGATE INORGANIC MATERIALS COVERAGE CANNOT EXCEED 20% OF THE TOTAL GREEN SPACE ON SITE, EXCLUDING DECOMPOSED GRANITE PATHWAYS AND PATIOS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT THE AREAS BETWEEN THE RETAINING WALL AND THE SCREENING WALL ON THE EAST SIDE OF BUILDINGS 201 AND 202, BE ABLE TO UTILIZE DECOMPOSED GRANITE OR ROCK MULCH, AND THAT THAT WON'T COUNT TOWARD THE 20% AGGREGATE MAXIMUM.

BASICALLY THERE THERE'S LIKE AN AREA AND THEY HAVE A, THEY HAVE A BETTER EXHIBIT.

THEY CAN SHOW YOU, BUT THERE'S AN AREA IN BETWEEN.

SO IT'LL BE HIGH UP. AND THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT IF IT WAS GRASS ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT AT THAT ELEVATED STATE.

SO JUST FOR THAT AREA, THEY WANTED TO PUT IN ROCKS, BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT IT TO COUNT TOWARD THE OVERALL MAXIMUM BECAUSE THEY WERE STILL PLANNING TO MEET THAT 20% MAXIMUM THAT THE TOWN HAS FOR ALL OF THEIR OTHER LANDSCAPED AREAS.

HOW LARGE IS THAT AREA? THIS SHOWS YOU WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

WE'RE BUILDING 201 AND 202. OKAY. SO AGAIN, THERE'S THIS SIX FOOT MASONRY SCREENING WALL.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A RETAINING WALL. SO AGAIN, I THINK YOU'LL SEE FROM FROM JONATHAN'S PRESENTATION, HE HAS KIND OF A GOOD EXHIBIT SHOWING A CROSS SECTION OF IT.

BUT IT'S JUST THIS AREA ALONG THE BACK OF THOSE TWO BIG BOX STORES.

YOU CAN'T SEE THE THE LENGTH OF THAT, HOW, HOW, HOW BIG OF AN AREA IS THAT? I CAN'T SEE IT. OKAY. THEY'RE THEY'RE WORKING ON AN ANSWER FOR YOU.

I DON'T KNOW THAT OFFHAND JUST HOW LONG THAT AREA OF THE WALL IS.

ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARD CHANGE PROPOSING THE USE OF AN OUTDOOR DISPLAY HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTER WHICH WOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. SO THESE ARE ALL ITEMS THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED AS OUTDOOR DISPLAY.

THIS IS NEW LANGUAGE THAT'S BEING WRITTEN INTO THE PD OR PROPOSED TO BE WRITTEN IN.

COULD BE EXTERIOR SHELVES OR TABLES DISPLAYING GOODS FOR SALE GOODS FOR SALE SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS, PLUMBING MATERIALS, PLANTS, GARDENING MATERIALS, LAWN MOWERS, GRILLS, WHEELBARROWS, LUMBER, LAWN FURNITURE, PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS, SEPARATED FENCED AREAS, STORAGE BUILDINGS, TRAILERS, DEMONSTRATION EXAMPLES, OR PRODUCT PROJECTS. FOOD VENDORS SUBJECT TO GETTING ALL THE NECESSARY PERMITS THROUGH THE TOWN ALL TERRAIN VEHICLES AND UTILITY TASK VEHICLES AND THEN SEASONAL ITEMS AND GOODS PERMITTED YEAR ROUND OUTSIDE STORAGE OF BAG MATERIALS SUCH AS MULCH, SOIL, SAND AND GRAVEL. USED APPLIANCES AND PALLETS MUST BE CONTAINED WITHIN TRAILERS.

SO ALL OF THE ITEMS ARE IDENTIFIED IN THEIR LOCATION, SIZE AND ORIENTATION ON THE CONCEPT OUTDOOR DISPLAY PLAN.

SO IT WILL BE LIMITED BY THAT. AND SO EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE USING ONLY ONE COLOR FOR ALL OF THIS, JUST TO CLARIFY THAT IT'S NOT THAT ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE ALLOWED IN THE WHOLE AREA.

IT'S SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY PAID CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE PREVIOUS OUTDOOR HOME GOODS.

WHAT ARE WE, WHAT DO WE CALL THAT OUTDOOR DISPLAY HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTER? THAT CAME FORWARD AND TRIED TO MATCH THAT. SO AGAIN, LIKE THIS AREA HERE THAT'S ACTUALLY WITHIN THE PARKING LOT, IT IS LIMITED TO ONLY UTILITY TRAILERS AND SHEDS, SIMILAR TO THE LAST APPLICATION THAT CAME BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

SO THERE WILL ONLY BE THE MULCH WOULD ONLY AND BAGGED MATERIALS WOULD ONLY BE AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING.

COULD YOU POINT OUT THE LOCATION FOR THE ATVS AND OTHER UTILITY VEHICLES.

I DO NOT KNOW THAT THEY PUT THE ATVS ON HERE ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW THE LAST APPLICATION.

OH WAIT, THEY DID. I ALSO SEE UTILITY TRAILERS, UTILITY SHEDS.

SO IT'S HERE AT THE BOTTOM AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUILDING THAT SAYS LIVE GOODS AND THAT SAYS UTVS ATVS.

AND IT POINTS TO THE ENTRANCE. YEAH. RIGHT THERE.

SO A LITTLE BIT OF A I MEAN, THAT'S YOU SEE THE LAWNMOWERS AND THINGS OUT IN FRONT OF LOWE'S. I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL.

YEAH. YEAH. SO RIGHT THERE IN THE FRONT, THEY COULD BE OUT ON DISPLAY.

AND THEN ALSO ALONG THE THAT SIDE OF THE BUILDING THAT'S FACING NORTH LAKE.

[01:35:07]

RIGHT. THAT'S CORRECT. THEY HAD REQUESTED THAT AS WELL.

AND THEN THIS IS ANOTHER HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTER THAT'S PROPOSED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD.

AND SO THEY ARE IDENTIFYING, AGAIN, THE AREAS WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT GOODS THAT ARE ON THAT OVERALL LIST.

SO ANOTHER CHANGE TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE SF BAY AREA.

THE COLLECTOR THROUGH THE RESIDENTIAL HAS BEEN REMOVED.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL HAD APPROVED WITH THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN AMENDMENT. SO THIS IS JUST BEING UPDATED TO REFLECT THOSE CHANGES THAT THE COUNCIL HAS ALREADY CONSIDERED. AND ALSO THOSE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FROM THE COLLECTOR WERE REMOVED.

REDESIGN OVERALL OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREA, INCLUDING THE LOCATION OF THE REQUIRED POCKET PARK.

AND THEN THE MAXIMUM DENSITY HAS ALSO BEEN DECREASED FROM 290 TO 250 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

SO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE STANDARDS FOR THE ENTRANCE OPEN SPACE LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF I-35W AT DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD.

THE APPLICANT HAS ESTABLISHED STANDARDS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY NOT IN THE PD, INCLUDING REQUIRING THE FOLLOWING AMENITIES A SEATING WITH SHADE, TREE OR SHADE STRUCTURE, TRASH RECEPTACLES, AND CONNECTIVITY TO THE TRAIL.

AND THEN THE LIGHTED BOLLARDS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY REQUIRED ALONG THE TRAIL.

LOCATED IN THE RESIDENTIAL SECTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT TO THE NONRESIDENTIAL.

WITH THE RESIDENTIAL REDESIGN, THE TRAIL PORTION WILL NOW BE ON THE NONRESIDENTIAL SIDE, AND SO THE LIGHTED BOLLARDS WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED ON THAT NONRESIDENTIAL SIDE WHERE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL. LANDSCAPE, HARDSCAPE AND SCREENING STANDARDS.

THERE'S REQUIRED ENHANCED MASONRY SCREENING FOR BUILDINGS 201, 202 AND 401, AS SHOWN ON THE CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE ADJACENT, WHERE COULD BE POTENTIALLY SEEN FROM THE ROAD OR FROM THE ADJACENT NORTH LAKE RESIDENTIAL SIDE.

IT'S PUTTING IN SOME MASONRY SCREENING TO ENSURE THAT FOR ALL OF THIS DISPLAY AREA THAT'S BEING ADDED FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTERS, SCREENING OF OUTDOOR DISPLAY HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTER USE SHALL BE PROVIDED AS SHOWN ON THE CONCEPTUAL OUTDOOR DISPLAY PLAN.

SO THAT ALSO INCLUDES SOME OF THAT LANDSCAPE SCREENING AS Y'ALL HAD DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY.

NEXT TO THOSE TRAILERS AND SHEDS REQUIRED SOME LANDSCAPE SCREENING THERE.

THAT SAME LANDSCAPE SCREENING HAS BEEN REPLICATED IN THOSE PARKING SPOTS IN THESE TWO HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTER PLANS AS WELL.

REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR ENHANCED PAVEMENT PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS AT MAJOR INTERSECTIONS.

SO THE TOWN HAS PREVIOUSLY DONE THIS, HAD THIS ENHANCED PAVEMENT PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS, BUT THAT'S IN AREAS WHERE IT WAS NOT ACTUALLY TOWN ROADS THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO MAINTAIN.

SO THESE WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE ON TOWN ROADS.

AND SO PUBLIC WORKS HAD SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS OF THOSE ENHANCED PAVEMENT FOR DOING THOSE.

SO THEY ASKED THAT WE REMOVE THAT REQUIREMENT.

IT'S ALSO ESTABLISHING PARKING STANDARDS FOR THE AMENITY CENTER THAT'S PROPOSED WITHIN THE SFA ZONING DISTRICT.

THEY'LL HAVE A MINIMUM OF THREE PARKING SPACES, SOME ADDITIONAL MISCELLANEOUS STANDARDS PROPOSED PHASING STANDARD FOR RESIDENTIAL.

IT WOULD NOW SAY UP TO 185 RESIDENTIAL UNITS MAY RECEIVE A BUILDING FINAL UPON THE ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS FOR AT LEAST 150 ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE REMAINING RESIDENTIAL UNITS PERMITTED BY THE PD WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A BUILDING FINAL UNTIL 150,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT HAS PASSED THE WALL EXTERIOR INSPECTION. CURRENTLY, IT WOULD SAY THE FIRST 150 UNITS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A BUILDING FINAL UNTIL THAT 150,000 SQUARE FEET HAS PASSED THE WALL EXTERIOR INSPECTION.

SO BASICALLY 150,000FT² OF COMMERCIAL HAD TO ACTUALLY BE BUILT BEFORE ANY RESIDENTIAL UNITS COULD BE PERMITTED.

AND THEN THE REMAINING UNITS WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THEIR BUILDING FINAL.

AFTER AN ADDITIONAL 150,000FT² OF COMMERCIAL WAS BUILT.

SO WE DID TALK. THEY TALKED SOME AT P AND Z. THIS KIND OF LESSENING OF THE STANDARD IS A LITTLE MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH SOME OF OUR OTHER PHASING, JUST THAT WE DON'T TYPICALLY HAVE SUCH A HIGH STANDARD FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND HAVING TO HAVE FULLY CONSTRUCTED ALL OF THE COMMERCIAL BEFORE THEY'RE ABLE TO COME ONLINE.

SO THIS IS STILL A VERY STRONG STANDARD, BUT IT'S JUST LESSENING IT A LITTLE BIT SO THAT AT LEAST SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS

[01:40:07]

ALSO A STANDARD FOR THE TOTAL NUMBER OF GAS STATIONS PERMITTED, INCREASING THAT FROM 2 TO 3.

AS A CLARIFICATION, BECAUSE THIS WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSED, A STANDALONE GAS STATION WOULD STILL HAVE TO RECEIVE APPROVAL OF AN SUP THE WAY THAT THE PREVIOUS PD WAS WRITTEN.

IT IT SPECIFICALLY LIMITED. IT SAID ONLY TWO GAS STATIONS COULD EVER OCCUR IN THIS AREA REGARDLESS, REGARDLESS. AND SO ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW PROPOSAL FOR THIS APPLICATION, WHERE THERE IS PROPOSED TO BE A FUEL CENTER WITH TWO OF THE BIG BOX STORES, THERE WOULDN'T BE THE POSSIBILITY OF A STANDALONE GAS STATION GETTING BUILT WITHIN THIS 150 ACRES OF COMMERCIAL THAT'S OFF THE TOWN'S ONLY INTERSTATE FRONTAGE. SO BY INCREASING THAT TO THREE, THERE WOULD AT LEAST BE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE TO COME FORWARD AND PRESENT THEIR SUP APPLICATION TO THE COUNCIL TO PROPOSE A STANDALONE GAS STATION.

ADDITION OF PHASING INFRASTRUCTURE. SO PHASE ONE A SHALL INCLUDE A TEMPORARY DRY DETENTION POND.

WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. THAT IS DESIGNED TO SERVE THE RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS OF PHASES TWO AND THREE SOUTH OF DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD.

PHASE ONE C SHALL INCLUDE THE PORTION OF DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD EXTENDING FROM MONARCH PARKWAY INTERSECTION TO THE I-35W FRONTAGE ROAD, AND SHALL BE REQUIRED ONCE THE FRONTAGE ROAD PAVING HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY TXDOT.

THIS PORTION OF DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD SHALL INCLUDE THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE MINIMUM HALF ACRE ENTRANCE OPEN SPACE.

THERE SHALL BE NO SUBDIVISION SITE PLAN. ACCEPTANCE OF RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN PHASE THREE NORTH OF DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD UNTIL THE MINIMUM HALF ACRE ENTRANCE.

OPEN SPACE HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED AND ACCEPTED.

SO JUST TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THESE.

THIS PURPLE IS PHASE ONE. SO THIS WOULD BE GIVING THE LAND TO THE TOWN FOR THE TOWN PARK.

THAT'S THE PURPLE BLOB THERE ON THE BOTTOM. THIS THIS OTHER PURPLE BLOB THAT'S MORE TOWARD THE MIDDLE.

THIS IS THE DRY DETENTION POND THAT WOULD BE TEMPORARILY DRY.

AND THEN WE HAVE DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD AND MONARCH PARKWAY.

THOSE ARE ALL PART OF PHASE ONE. AND THEN THIS LITTLE KIND OF NOTCH OUT THERE CLOSE TO THE INTERSTATE, THAT'S THE HALF ACRE OPEN SPACE AREA THAT WOULD BE COMING AS PHASE 1C? SO BASICALLY, THEY DON'T WANT TO START BUILDING THAT UNTIL TXDOT HAS MADE THESE IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT IT TO GET ALL RIPPED UP OR, YOU KNOW, SO THEY'RE SAYING THAT THAT WON'T COME INTO THAT WON'T COME INTO PLAY UNTIL TXDOT HAS COMPLETED THE FRONTAGE ROAD PAVING. AND THEN THEY ARE JUST TO CLARIFY, TXDOT HAS APPROVED THE BUILD BUILD OUT OF THAT, THAT INTERSTATE OVER THERE, AS WELL AS THAT FRONTAGE ROAD.

CORRECT. WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. YES. SO I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT AND I'LL LET THE APPLICANT SPEAK MORE TO THAT.

THAT'S PART OF THEIR PRESENTATION, KIND OF THE TIMING WITH TXDOT.

BUT YES, WITHIN IT IS ON THE HORIZON. SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SAYING IT'S COMING.

WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD THE PARK AREA RIGHT THERE UNTIL THAT ACTUALLY GETS CONSTRUCTED.

SO IT DOESN'T GET DESTROYED IN THE INTERIM. BUT IT IS SAYING THAT THERE SHALL BE NO SUBDIVISION SITE PLAN, ACCEPTANCE OF THE RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS IN PHASE THREE NORTH OF NORTH OF DENTON CREEK UNTIL THE HALF ACRE.

SO THIS IS PHASE THREE IN THE GREEN. SO IT SAYS YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T OPEN THESE UNTIL YOU DO PUT IN THE PARK THOUGH.

SO THEY'RE DELAYING IT. BUT SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE UNTIL WE GET THE PARK BUILT.

SO THEY'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE SOME SOME COMFORT THERE IN AND HOW IT'S BEING PHASED.

LIKE I SAID, PHASE ONE ARE THESE MAJOR ROADWAYS AND THE DETENTION AND THE DONATION TO THE TOWN.

PHASE TWO IS ALL THE RED. SO THESE ARE THE BIG BOXES HERE IN THE MIDDLE.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF TENANTS, I THINK THEY'VE MAYBE ALREADY BEEN TALKING TO THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO POTENTIALLY GET THEM INSTALLED THERE ALONG I-35. AND THEN IT'S ALSO ALLOWING THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS TO START CONSTRUCTION AT THE SAME TIME.

AND THEN PHASE THREE IS THE GREEN. SO TALK ABOUT THAT.

PHASE THREE SOUTH SHALL CONSIST OF THE REGIONAL DETENTION FACILITY AND MINIMUM FOUR ACRES OF TOWN RESTAURANT OPEN SPACE IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED TO ENHANCE THE TEMPORARY DRY DETENTION POND CONSTRUCTED WITH PHASE 1A TO A PERMANENT RETENTION POND SHALL BE INCLUDED.

AND THEN TOWN SHALL NOT ACCEPT SUBMITTAL OF ANY DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION IN PHASE FOUR UNTIL THE TOWN CENTER AND PERMANENT RETENTION FACILITY HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED AND ACCEPTED.

[01:45:05]

SO CONVERTING THE DRY TEMPORARY DRY DETENTION TO THE WET POND IS PART OF PHASE THREE.

BUT IT'S REALLY IT'S PHASE FOUR ACCEPTANCE THAT TRIGGERS THAT REQUIREMENT.

THE DRY POND. YEAH WE WON'T WE WE WON'T EVEN LET ANYBODY SUBMIT A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION.

SO UNTIL IN PHASE FOUR UNTIL THEY FINISH PHASE THREE.

SO THAT'S PHASE THREE. THEY COULD DO PHASE THREE LEAVE THE DRY POND.

AND THEN THEY JUST WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PROCEED TO PHASE FOUR.

BUT THEY COULD MAINTAIN THAT STATE.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THAT. WOULDN'T YOU HAVE TO KEEP THAT DURING ALL THAT CONSTRUCTION? WELL, I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THE TEMPORARY DETENTION POND, I GET IT, BUT WITH THE WET POND, WE WANT TO HAVE EVENTUALLY.

BUT IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING THE DEVELOPER IS TRYING TO DO.

IT'S SOMETHING THE TOWN WANTS. AND WHAT AT WHAT POINT DOES THE DRY POND BECOME A WET POND? AND WHAT'S THE THE REQUIREMENT IN THIS DOCUMENT THAT REQUIRES THAT.

AND FROM WHAT I'M READING, IT'S PHASE FOUR. IT'S ANYTHING IN PHASE FOUR STARTING, NOT ACCEPTANCE OF PHASE THREE.

SO IT'S REALLY A PHASE FOUR REQUIREMENT. I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT.

OKAY. I'M JUST MAKING SURE I UNDERSTAND. THE SMALLER, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SMALLER ONE.

THE WET THE WET POND. I KEEP GOING REVERTING BACK TO DRY POND.

SORRY. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO HERE IS THAT ZONING EXHIBIT? TOMMY ALREADY KIND OF TALKED TO YOU ABOUT HOW THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES TO THOSE BOUNDARIES ALONG THE NORTH SIDE, AND THEN IT ALSO SHIFTED THE BOUNDARIES SOMEWHAT OF THE CAMPUS COMMERCIAL AND SFA PIECES.

SO THIS WOULD BE THE CURRENT ZONING EXHIBIT. HERE IS THE CONCEPT PLAN.

SO IT'S BROKEN INTO THE DIFFERENT BLOCKS. THIS IS THE EAST SIDE OF DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD.

SO THESE ARE THE TWO BIG BOXES. I MEAN THE WEST SIDE OF WHAT I SAID, THE WEST SIDE OF DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD, THOSE TWO BIG BOXES AND THEN THE RETAIL ALONG THE FRONT.

THIS IS THE EAST SIDE OF DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD.

THE OTHER TWO BIG BOXES HERE KIND OF MIRROR THOSE TWO.

AND THEN THERE'S A FIFTH BIG BOX THAT'S ADDED WITH THIS APPLICATION.

AGAIN, WITH THIS CONCEPT PLAN UPDATE THAT'S ADJACENT TO THE INTERSTATE, AND THEN SOME OF THOSE RETAIL PIECES AS WELL.

AND THERE IS THE OPEN SPACE AREA. WE WERE DISCUSSING THAT NOTCH THAT'S CARVED OUT ALONG DENTON CREEK AND ADJACENT TO INTERSTATE 35 W. THIS IS SHOWING THE POND AREA WITH THE RESTAURANTS AND THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS LOCATED THERE. THIS IS THE RESIDENTIAL PIECE.

SO NOW GOING TO THE CONCEPT LANDSCAPE PLAN THE KIND OF MAGENTA BOXES, THOSE ARE FOUNDATION PLANTINGS.

AND THEN THE GREEN LINES ARE SCREENING FOR LANDSCAPE SCREENING.

SO HERE YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDINGS. THEY'RE ADJACENT TO I-35W.

THEY WOULD, YOU WOULD HAVE LANDSCAPE SCREENING ALONG DENTON CREEK, MONARCH PARKWAY, I-35.

YOU ALSO HAVE LANDSCAPING WITHIN THE PARKING LOTS AND FOUNDATION PLANTINGS ON THESE SMALLER BUILDINGS.

HERE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CREEK. AGAIN, YOU'LL HAVE THE LANDSCAPE SCREENING ADJACENT TO THE ROADS AND THE FOUNDATION PLANTINGS ALONG THE SMALLER BUILDINGS.

AGAIN, THIS IS SHOWING THE LANDSCAPE SCREENINGS.

THIS IS THAT FIFTH BIG BOX. HERE WE'RE SHOWING THE LANDSCAPE SCREENING.

ANOTHER BIG BOX. THIS IS THE ONE NEXT TO THE LARGE DETENTION AREA THAT'S GETTING BROUGHT INTO THE TOWN.

ANOTHER BIG BOX. YOU CAN SEE THE LANDSCAPE SCREENING ALONG MONARCH AND THEN DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD THERE TO THE WEST.

THEY SPLIT THIS ONE INTO TWO DIFFERENT PIECES.

INSTEAD OF SHOWING THE KIND OF MIRROR OF THE TWO BIG BOXES FROM THE OTHER SIDE.

SO HERE'S THAT WEST SIDE OF DENTON CREEK. SMALLER RETAIL IN THE FRONT, TWO BIG BOXES.

[01:50:05]

AND THAT BLUE LINE LEXIN. THAT'S WHERE THE THEY WANT TO PUT THE MULCH OR THE ROCKS BETWEEN THE RETAINING WALL AND THE MASONRY.

OKAY. THEN WHAT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT DIRECTION WE'RE LOOKING AT.

WHAT IS IT TO THAT OFF THE BOTTOM, WHICH IS TO THE EAST? WHAT, WHAT IS THAT. THE RESIDENTIAL AREA THERE.

NO THAT'S THAT. I'LL SHOW YOU THE BIGGER THAT'S MORE OF IT'S KIND OF MORE OF THE AMENITY AREA.

IT'S NOT RESIDENTIAL, BUT IT'S WHERE IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE TWO LARGE PONDS.

THEY'LL HAVE LIKE A TRAIL AROUND IT. IT'LL BE SOME RESTAURANTS. SO JUST MORE OF NOT ACTUALLY A RESIDENTIAL AREA, BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST WANTING IT TO BE MORE OF AN AMENITY AND A FEATURE.

YEAH. I'M TRYING TO THINK ABOUT WHO'S GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THAT WALL.

I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GET MORE DETAIL ON IT. I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE PERSPECTIVE OF SOMEONE. MAYBE IT'S DINING BY THE POND AND THEN LOOKING AT THAT WALL, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY TALL. YEAH. BECAUSE THE ALREADY THE GRADE DIFFERENCE IS HIGHER ON THE BIG BOX SIDE THAN IT WILL BE BELOW. AND SO IT'S ALREADY GOING TO BE ELEVATED, BUT THEN THEY'RE DOING THE WALL TO ENSURE THAT NOBODY'S SEEING ANY OF THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT MULCH OR WHATEVER KIND OF STORAGE THAT WAS GOING BEHIND THOSE BIG BOX STORES.

SO THESE ARE JUST THE RESTAURANT BUILDINGS THAT ARE PROPOSED AROUND THE DETENTION POND AMENITY.

AGAIN, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE TRAILS GOING AROUND THERE AND THEN LANDSCAPE SCREENING ADJACENT TO SCHMITZ AVENUE.

AND SO HERE'S THE OTHER SIDE. SO THIS INCLUDES THE PONDS AND THEN RESTAURANTS ON THAT SIDE.

AND AGAIN, THE LANDSCAPING ALONG SCHMITZ AND DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD.

FOR SOME REASON, WE BROKE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN INTO A LOT OF PIECES.

SO HERE IS THE LANDSCAPING ADJACENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL.

SO THERE IS THE SCREENING WALL FOR THE COMPATIBILITY BUFFER BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE NONRESIDENTIAL BIG BOX AREAS TO THE NORTH ON THIS SHEET.

AND THIS IS THE SECOND PHASE OF THE RESIDENTIAL.

SO YOU CAN SEE STILL HAVE LANDSCAPE SCREENING ADJACENT TO DENTON CREEK RESIDENTIAL RETENTION POND HERE.

THERE'S THIS OPEN SPACE AREA AND POCKET PARK.

SO THIS IS SHOWING THE CIRCULATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN.

THE RED LINES ARE THE 12 FOOT TRAILS AND THE PURPLE LINES ARE THE SIX FOOT TRAILS.

SO THE YOU CAN SEE THE TRAIL GOES AROUND KIND OF THE BACK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE RESIDENTIAL AREA. IT COMES IN OFTEN. CREEK GOES THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AREA AND THEN AROUND THE BACK.

THIS IS JUST KIND OF A SWITCHBACK THERE DUE TO THE GRADE CHANGE.

AND THEN IT'S GOING ALONG THE SIDE OF THOSE BIG BOXES.

SO COULD STILL ENJOY THAT POND AMENITY AREA THERE TO THE NORTH.

AND THEN IT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD.

I'LL STOP YOU FOR A SECOND. THE AREA THAT YOU SAID, THE LIGHTED BOLLARDS WILL BE MOVED FROM THE RESIDENTIAL TO THE NONRESIDENTIAL.

WHICH SECTION IS THAT? THAT'S THIS AREA. OKAY.

THANK YOU. AND THEN THE 12 FOOT TRAIL DOES GO ALL THE WAY DOWN DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD.

AND THEN IT ALSO WRAPS HERE AROUND THOSE POND AMENITY AREAS WHERE THE RESTAURANTS ARE PROPOSED ALONG SCHMITZ AVENUE, AND THEN KIND OF CONTINUES ALONG THE OUTER EDGE TOWN BOUNDARY, WHERE IT'S ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL AND NORTH LAKE AND SIX FOOT SIDEWALKS. BASICALLY, THOSE ARE RUNNING ALONG ALL THE ROADS AND THEN ALSO THROUGHOUT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

CAN YOU SHOW FOR CLARIFICATION AGAIN WHERE THE BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT WHERE THIS FITS INTO THAT BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT, JUST SO THE COMMUNITY KNOWS, SO THIS DETENTION POND AREA THAT THEY'RE SHOWING HERE TO THE NORTH, THIS IS BEING BROUGHT INTO THE TOWN FROM ARGYLE.

AND THEN HERE TO FURTHER, IF YOU GO RIGHT TO THE EDGE OF OUR SLIDE HERE ALONG THE NORTH, THAT IS LAND THAT'S GOING INTO ARGYLE FROM FLOWER MOUND. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S FLOODPLAIN IN BETWEEN, SO IT'S NOT REALLY ACCESSIBLE FROM FLOWER MOUND.

AND THEN IT'S ALSO THIS PENINSULA AREA AGAIN, IT'S NOT REALLY VISIBLE HERE, BUT THAT'S ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE RESIDENTIAL.

[01:55:05]

SO IT'S AREA THAT'S NOT ACCESSIBLE FROM THE FLOWER MOUND SIDE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S JUST THE PHASING PLAN.

ONE MORE TIME. FINAL VIEW OF THE CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE PARKS BOARD RECOMMENDATION.

SO THIS PROJECT HAD PREVIOUSLY GONE TO THE PARKS BOARD, BUT IT WAS BEFORE THEY HAD DONE ANY KIND OF SERIOUS ENGINEERING ON IT.

AND ONCE THEY TOOK A LOOK AT THAT, THEY REALIZED THAT THERE WAS LESS DRY LAND THAN THEY REALIZED IN THAT AREA THAT THEY WERE DEDICATING FOR PARKLAND.

THE THIS AREA HERE DOWN ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SLIDE.

AND SO TOWN REGULATION DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO COUNT AREA THAT IS FLOODPLAIN AS PARKLAND DEDICATION.

SO IT REDUCED THEIR AMOUNT OF ACREAGE FROM THE NINE ACRES THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY PROPOSING TO.

TECHNICALLY IT'S SIX AND A HALF ACRES. SO THE PARKS BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PARKLAND DEDICATION OF SIX AND A HALF ACRES, AND THEN $622,480 OF CASH IN LIEU OF LAND, AND THEN THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES OF $347,000, MINUS ANY PARK FEE CREDITS FOR AMENITIES INSTALLED IN THE HALF ACRE POCKET PARK.

THERE IS A LITTLE BIT THEY HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO JUST BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF UNITS DECREASED FROM WHEN IT HAD GONE TO THE PARKS BOARD PREVIOUSLY VERSUS THIS TIME.

SO THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

I'M THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A DETAILED PRESENTATION.

THE ONLY THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WERE THE GAS STATIONS.

BUT I LIKE THE VERBIAGE YOU ALL PUT IN THERE SO THAT THEY COME BACK TO ASK FOR THAT THIRD GAS STATION.

SO IT'S NOT OPEN TO JUST PUTTING IN THREE GAS STATIONS.

THAT'S ALL. DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

WE CAN BRING THE APPLICANT UP. THANK YOU. LEXIN AND TOMMY.

MY NAME IS JONATHAN KIRBY WITH KIMLEY-HORN 2600 NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY IN RICHARDSON.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, FOR HAVING US THIS EVENING.

I WILL TRY TO NOT BE REDUNDANT, BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE INHERENTLY SOME REDUNDANCY FROM WHAT YOU'VE HEARD.

SO WE'LL TRY AND SPEED THROUGH THAT THE BEST THAT WE CAN.

SO TO START WITH JUST A ROADMAP OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT. AS MENTIONED, THIS PD WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED JANUARY OF 2025.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO THE LAST 18 MONTHS, WHICH YOU'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT ALREADY THE REASONS FOR THE AMENDMENT AND THEN SOME NEW ITEMS IN THE PD. SO WE'LL START WITH TXDOT. THIS IS AN EXHIBIT WHERE THE BLUE SHOWN IN HERE IS THE FRONTAGE ROADS ON 35 THAT ARE PROPOSED WITH TXDOT. AS WE KNOW, THIS IS A UNIQUE PROPERTY TO FLOWER MOUND, WHERE IT'S THE ONLY PORTION OF FLOWER MOUND THAT TOUCHES HIGHWAY FRONTAGE.

BUT 35 DOESN'T HAVE FRONTAGE ROADS. ERIC SCHMIDT'S THE MASTER DEVELOPER HAS BEEN WORKING WITH JUDGE EADES, WHO'S BEEN A BIG SUPPORTER AND ADVOCATE FOR THE PROJECT.

AND JUST THIS WHOLE 35 CORRIDOR TO GET THESE FRONTAGE ROADS ADDED TO WHAT'S CALLED THE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

THE UTP, TXDOT RELEASES THE UTP EVERY YEAR FOR WHAT THEIR FUNDING IS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS THAT UTP COMES OUT IN JULY.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SAY THAT WE WERE IN UTP THAT CAME OUT LAST MONTH.

THE ACTUAL TIMING OF WHEN THE LET DATE IS, OR WHEN THE PROJECTS GO TO CONSTRUCTION THAT GETS VOTED ON NEXT WEEK.

SO WE'LL KNOW THE EXACT DATE OF WHEN THE CONSTRUCTIONS TO OCCUR NEXT WEEK.

I'LL NOTE THAT THE 35 FRONTAGE ROADS BETWEEN 1171 AND 407 IS ONE PROJECT THAT DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD INTERCHANGE AS A SECOND PROJECT.

BOTH OF THOSE WERE IN THE UTP, SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LET DATES.

MOVING ON. SO HERE'S THE LAND SWAP, WHICH WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT.

THIS IS OVER OUR SITE PLAN. SO I'LL PAUSE HERE FOR A MINUTE.

MAYBE IT MIGHT PROVIDE SOME GOOD CONTEXT. SO ESSENTIALLY AS MENTIONED THAT THE WAY I LIKE TO DESCRIBE IT IS THE FLOODPLAIN IS A GOOD NATURAL BOUNDARY.

THERE WAS SOME LAND ON FLOWER MOUND SIDE OF THE FLOODPLAIN THAT WAS IN ARGYLE'S TOWN LIMITS.

THERE WAS SOME LAND IN ARGYLE SIDE OF THE FLOODPLAIN THAT WAS IN FLOWER MOUND TOWN LIMITS.

THIS NOW JUST SWAPS THAT TO WHERE THE FLOODPLAIN MORE OR LESS WILL BE THE CITY LIMIT LINE.

SO WITH THE 35 FRONTAGE ROAD ANNOUNCEMENT, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF RETAIL ACTIVITY UP AND DOWN THIS CORRIDOR.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S A SURPRISE TO ANYONE HERE.

SO WITH THAT, WE WERE ABLE TO ADD A FIFTH BIG BOX, AS LEXIN MENTIONED, TO THIS.

WE STILL NEED TO PROVIDE DETENTION FOR ALL OF THAT.

SO WHAT WE DID IS IN THE YELLOW, YOU'LL SEE WHERE IT SAYS PROPOSED TOWN LIMIT THAT LABEL THAT IS ON THE DETENTION POND.

SO BASICALLY, IN ORDER TO ADD THAT FIFTH BIG BOX, WE NEEDED TO FIND A PLACE TO PUT THE DETENTION.

THAT WAS A GOOD SPOT FOR IT. SO WE BEGAN THOSE NEGOTIATIONS TO, TO GET THAT TO HAPPEN.

[02:00:06]

SO THAT WILL NOT BE DEVELOPED. ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'LL GET INTO THE REASON FOR THE AMENDMENT TONIGHT.

SO AS WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, THE RETAIL SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WE'VE ADDED HAS INCREASED BY MORE THAN 20% FROM THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN, WHICH MAKES US COME BACK BEFORE YOU FOR A REVISED CONCEPT PLAN WITH THE PD.

LEXIN MENTIONED THE RECLASSIFICATION, MONARCH PARKWAY AND THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN. THE REDUCTION IN THE TOWNHOME DENSITY, THE PHASING WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT. AND THEN AS YOU HEARD, WE'RE JUST WE'RE FURTHER ALONG IN DESIGN IN A LOT OF WAYS, JUST REQUIRES SOME LITTLE NUANCE EXCEPTIONS THAT YOU'VE HEARD.

SO HERE'S OUR REVISED CONCEPT PLAN. YOU'LL SEE THE FIFTH BIG BOX.

YOU'LL SEE THE PONDS IN BLUE. SO WE HAVE KIND OF THREE POND AREAS.

YOU HAVE YOUR NORTHERN RETAIL POND, YOUR SOUTHERN RETAIL RESTAURANT POND, AND THEN THE TOWNHOMES HAVE THEIR POND.

THIS IS THE REVISED TOWNHOME PLAN THAT YOU SEE HERE.

AND GENERALLY THAT THE POND ON THE SOUTH SIDE WITH THE RESTAURANTS AROUND IT, THAT'S GENERALLY STAYED THE SAME FROM THE PREVIOUS PD.

THIS IS THE EXHIBIT THAT WAS SHOWED WHEN THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN WAS AMENDED.

THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR JUST REFERENCE TO SHOW HERE.

THAT'S THE OLD TOWNHOME PLAN FROM THE OLD PD.

BUT THEN IT'S THE NEW RETAIL PLAN. SO YOU KIND OF SEE HOW SCHMITZ ROAD WAS COMING THROUGH.

WE'VE REMOVED THAT FROM THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN AND THEN JUDGE EADES PARKWAY, WHICH WE WERE BEAT TO THE PUNCH ON JUDGE EADES PARKWAY.

SO NOW IT'S MONARCH PARKWAY. THAT WAS REDUCED FROM A 90 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY SECTION TO A 70 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY SECTION, WHICH AGAIN CAUSED US TO HAVE TO AMEND THE SITE PLAN.

THIS IS THE REVISED TOWNHOME PLAN HERE. AS NOTED, WE'VE REDUCED FROM 290 LOTS TO 250 LOTS.

WHAT ALSO HAPPENED IN THAT PROCESS WAS A LOT OF THE LOTS GREW IN SIZE.

THE PADS GREW IN SIZE, SO THE OVERALL FOOTPRINT EXPANDED.

YOU HAVE THE AMENITY CENTER IN THE MIDDLE. YOU HAVE THE POCKET PARK, WHICH WAS MENTIONED AGAINST THE FLOODPLAIN AND WITH THE TRAILS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

AND THE POLLINATOR GARDEN IS WHAT EXTENDS UP THROUGH THAT GREEN SPACE AREA.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE SHARED DETENTION POND ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIS SCREEN.

YEAH, I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT THE THE TOWNHOMES ARE SET TO BE A NICE PRODUCT.

THEY'LL, THEY'LL BE ANYWHERE FROM THE HIGH FIVES FOR THE MORE STARTER VERSIONS AND THEN UP TO THE HIGH SEVEN HUNDREDS FOR DEPENDING ON WHAT ALL FLOOR PLANS AND ETC. THAT YOU GO WITH. PHASING PLAN.

THIS IS A COMPLICATED ONE. I KNOW Y'ALL TALKED ABOUT IT A LOT.

I'LL TRY AND DO IT A LITTLE FASTER. THAT'S BLUE TO ME, BUT I MIGHT BE COLORBLIND.

SO WHEN I SAY THAT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO THE BLUE FOR DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD UP TO MONARCH PARKWAY. AND THEN THE SECTION OF MONARCH PARKWAY IS PHASE ONE TO GET THE RETAIL TEED UP, AS WELL AS THE DRY DETENTION POND, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A MINUTE.

PHASE TWO WAS THE TOWNHOMES, AND WE'RE ASKING TO GET THE FIRST PHASE OF TOWNHOMES TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

150,000FT² OF RETAIL HAS THEIR BUILDING PERMIT ISSUED.

I JUST WORTH NOTING THAT WITH THAT 35 ANNOUNCEMENT, THERE'S A LOT OF RETAIL ACTIVITY.

THERE'S A USER THAT'S GREATER THAN 150,000FT² THAT'S ALREADY IN THE TOWN'S PERMITTING PROCESS.

SO IT'S NOT A BUILDING PERMIT. BUILDING PERMIT, I DON'T THINK IS THE REQUIREMENT.

IT'S THE ISSUANCE OF THE BUILDING PERMIT. WALL FINAL IS THAT NOT WHAT WE HAD SAID? WALL FINAL WAS THE. YEAH. WALL FINAL WAS THE PREVIOUS PD IS 150,000FT² OF WALLS UP INSPECTED.

OKAY. SO WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING TONIGHT IS 150,000FT² OF BUILDING.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. YES, SIR. AND THAT'S JUST THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE THAT GOES INTO THIS AND DELIVERING.

THIS IS WE'VE JUST KIND OF DETAILED THROUGH TONIGHT AND THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND THAT JUST REALLY HELPS GET THE BALL ROLLING ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND PROVIDE SOME FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER A LOT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT YOU SEE HERE.

LET'S SEE. SO YES, TO CLARIFY, JUST TIE A BOW ON IT.

WHEN THE YELLOW DEVELOPS IS WHEN THE FULL BUILD OUT OF THE AMENITIZED POND AND OPEN SPACE AREA ON THE EAST SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE PROJECT IS REQUIRED. SO THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.

[02:05:03]

NOW WE'LL GO INTO THE NEW REQUESTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE PD, THE DETENTION POND, THE SCREENING AND COMPATIBILITY BUFFERS THAT WE WENT THROUGH AND THE OUTDOOR DISPLAY FOR THE HOME IMPROVEMENTS. SO THIS IS SOME RENDERINGS OF OUR ACTUAL DESIGN OF THE INTERIM DRY DETENTION POND. WE'RE MEETING THE TOWN'S LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS.

THESE ARE SLOPES THAT WILL BE SODDED AND STABILIZED AND JUST MEET ALL OF THE TOWN STANDARDS, AND WANTED TO GIVE SOME CONFIDENCE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST DIGGING A HOLE IN THE GROUND.

THAT'LL BE ALL, DUSTY. IT'LL BE NICE AND LANDSCAPED PER TOWN REQUIREMENTS UNTIL THAT TIME THAT THE PHASE FOR FULLY AMENITIZED VERSION IS TRIGGERED.

SO THIS IS A SECTION OF THE RETAINING WALL ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE TWO BOXES ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE PROJECT, AND THEN THE MASONRY SCREEN WALL THAT SITS ON TOP OF THEM.

THAT RETAINING WALL VARIES IN HEIGHT FROM 10FT TO 15FT.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL ON TOP OF THAT.

FOR A FEW REASONS, WE DON'T WANT TO PUT THE MASONRY WALL DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE RETAINING WALL.

ITS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE WALL COMES INTO QUESTION.

AND THEN IF YOU EVER NEED TO PROVIDE ANY MAINTENANCE TO THE FRONT OF THAT SCREEN WALL, YOU CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A WORKING AREA TO DO THAT.

SO IT'S GOOD PRACTICE TO JUST SET IT OFF. FIVE FEET IS A NICE ROUND NUMBER.

SO FIVE IS NORMALLY WHAT GETS USED TO PROVIDE THAT MAINTENANCE AREA.

TO ANSWER A QUESTION FROM EARLIER, IT'S ABOUT 13 OR 1400FT OF LENGTH OF THAT PINK LINE THAT'S ON THERE.

ASSUMING THAT'S THE RIGHT COLOR. AND IN THAT AREA, THAT FIVE FOOT SECTION, NOBODY WANTS TO MOW THAT.

NOBODY WANTS TO GET UP THERE AND DO IT. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS TO ALLOW THAT TO BE THAT AGGREGATE MATERIAL.

BUT OBVIOUSLY WITH THAT MUCH AREA THAT WOULD MAKE US EXCEED THE 20% MAX REQUIREMENT FROM THE TOWN STANDARDS.

SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS THAT AREA IN PINK JUST BE NETTED OUT OF THAT REQUIREMENT.

AND WE STILL HAVE TO MEET THAT REQUIREMENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE RETAIL SITE.

IT JUST DOESN'T GET PENALIZED FOR THIS PORTION HERE.

NOW WE'LL GO OVER TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROJECT, WHERE WE'RE BETWEEN THE TOWNHOMES AND THE OTHER TWO ANCHORS AND THE COMPATIBILITY BUFFER THAT'S THERE. AS MENTIONED, WE JUST WANT TO OFFSET THAT SCREEN WALL ONE FOOT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE TO MAKE SURE THE ENTIRETY OF THAT SCREEN WALL EXISTS ON THE RETAIL SIDE, AND THERE ISN'T ANY SORT OF AN EASEMENT FOR THE FOOTING THAT'S REQUIRED AT THE BASE OF THAT SCREEN WALL FROM THE RETAIL.

THERE'S NO ISSUES IN THE FUTURE WITH A PORTION OF THAT WALL BEING ON THE RETAIL OR THE RESIDENTIAL, EXCUSE ME, LAND. IT WOULD JUST BE WHOLLY ON THE RETAIL.

YOU SEE HERE THE COMPATIBILITY BUFFER REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'RE MEETING WITH THE TREES, THE PLANTINGS AND THE TRAIL WITH THOSE LIGHTED BOULDERS AS MENTIONED EARLIER.

SO HERE I'VE PUT A LITTLE VICINITY MAP TO TRY AND HELP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.

I WON'T GO THROUGH THIS TOO MUCH, BUT THIS IS A MIRROR IMAGE OF WHAT WAS APPROVED EARLIER THIS SUMMER AT COUNCIL.

THAT WAS INTENTIONAL. WE WE HEARD WE WANTED TO JUST USE THAT AS THE STANDARD GOING FORWARD, SINCE IT WAS SO RECENT, AND THIS SHOULD BE PRETTY IDENTICAL TO WHAT YOU APPROVED THERE.

FLIP OVER TO THE NORTH SIDE, SAME THING, SAME SPIRIT, A LITTLE LESS GOODS DISPLAYED OUTSIDE.

SO NOT AS MANY LABELS AS THE LAST ONE, BUT SAME GENERAL SENTIMENT APPLIED TO THIS SIDE.

FROM WHAT YOU ALL APPROVED EARLIER THIS SUMMER AS WELL.

AND THEN I JUST HAVE A SUMMARY PAGE HERE FOR ANYTHING THAT WE DIDN'T CATCH THROUGH THE EXHIBITS AND THE SLIDES.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE FUEL STATIONS. WE HAVE TWO BIG BOXES THAT HAVE IT AS AN ACCESSORY USE.

SO IT'S JUST ALLOWING FOR THAT. THIRD, WE TALKED ABOUT THE REDUCTION OF THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS, THE TIMING OF THAT. THERE WAS NO AMENITY CENTER PARKING REQUIREMENT IN THE PREVIOUS PD, SO WE ESTABLISHED IT.

THE OPEN SPACE CHANGES WITH THE LAND SWAP, SO WE HAD TO ADJUST FOR THAT.

WE ADDED DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR THE ENTRANCE OPEN SPACE.

THERE WERE NONE BEFORE, SO WE WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND SET THOSE IN.

WE TALKED ABOUT ALL OF THE PHASING TRIGGERS FOR THE DIFFERENT INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS.

AND LASTLY THE SCREENING FOR THE HOME IMPROVEMENT OUTDOOR DISPLAY AND THE COMPATIBILITY BUFFERS.

WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

COUNCIL. SO JUST TO CONFIRM, THE LAND SWAP IS ENABLING US TO INCREASE THE RETAIL SQUARE FOOTAGE BY BY A HUGE AMOUNT.

[02:10:02]

YES. THANK YOU. AND MONARCH OWNS BOTH OF THOSE PIECES OF PROPERTY.

THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO ARGYLE AND THE ONE THAT'S COMING FROM ARGYLE. SO LET ME GO BACK TO THAT.

THE YELLOW AND THE TRIANGLE ON THE 35 FRONTAGE ROAD ARE CONTROLLED BY THE MONARCH MASTER DEVELOPER.

THE PENINSULA IS A SEPARATE ENTITY, AND SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOING THIS AND NOT DOING THE LAND SWAP IS ONE OF THESE TWO STORES HAVE TO GO AWAY AND BECOME A POND. YES. THAT'S CORRECT. YES. JUST THE THE ONE THE LARGE AREA.

THE RED AREA IS THAT'S GOING TO ARGYLE. THAT'S ONLY THAT'S JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.

THAT'S DEED RESTRICTED TO THE PARKS. YES. THAT'S.

YEAH. JUST WANT TO CLARIFY IT GETS IT GETS APPROVED TONIGHT AT THEIR COUNCIL SESSION.

YES. YOU DID HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE THIRD GAS STATION.

SURE. NO. PLANNING AND ZONING DID ALSO. SO THE COMMERCIAL LAND IS ABOUT 149 ACRES.

YOU'VE GOT ONE GAS STATION SOUTH OF DENTON CREEK BOULEVARD. I CALL IT SOUTH AND NORTH AND EAST AND WEST.

ONE GAS STATION NORTH. WHAT'S THE. WHAT'S YOUR RATIONALE FOR THE THIRD GAS STATION? AGAIN, IT'S JUST A FLEXIBILITY THAT WE. WE HAVE TO BIG BOX USERS WITH IT AS AN ACCESSORY USE.

SO IT'S JUST SHOULD IT COME. AS YOU SEE ON OUR SITE PLAN, WE DON'T HAVE ONE SITE PLANNED RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S NO KNOWN USER THAT'S COMING. IT'S JUST A PURE FLEXIBILITY ITEM.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU JONATHAN, I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. SO FOR ZPD26 THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY? I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO DOES ANYBODY WISH TO COME FORWARD AND MAKE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS.

OKAY. JONATHAN, YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO FILLED OUT A COMMENT CARD.

SO YOU'VE ALREADY SPOKEN. UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR THREE MINUTES.

OKAY, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

DOES ANY COUNCIL WISH TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? WE HAVE A LOT. WE HAVE A LOT OF ITEMS TO MAKE MOTIONS ON.

SO YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO FIND SOME THINGS NOT TO LIKE, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, I THINK I GOT MOST OF MY QUESTIONS ANSWERED. THE YOU KNOW, THE HIGHER DENSITY HOUSING SEEMS APPROPRIATE GIVEN THE ADJACENCY TO A MAJOR TRANSPORTATION THOROUGHFARE. AND THIS EVEN THOUGH I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE WATERING DOWN OF THE PHASING IT DOES REDUCE TOTAL DENSITY, WHICH IS GOOD. AND HONESTLY, USUALLY WE GET A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT AND WE WERE TRYING TO GET THEM TO PUT COMMERCIAL IN, BUT THIS IS MORE LIKE A COMMERCIAL PROJECT THAT'S JUST TRYING TO FIT SOME RESIDENTIAL. SO I'M NOT TOO NERVOUS ABOUT THE PHASING. I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE POND, BUT AS LONG AS PHASE FOUR CAN'T EVEN START LIKE THE FIRST APPLICATION CAN'T EVEN COME IN TILL THAT POND IS DONE.

THEN I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. AND FOR THE GAS STATIONS.

I MEAN, IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE FREEWAY. IF YOU HAVE A BIG BOX STORE WITH A GAS STATION, A GROCERY STORE WITH A GAS STATION, AND THEN A GAS STATION, WELL, SEEMS LIKE A LOT. WELL, WE PUT GUARDRAILS ON IT.

THAT'S RIGHT. AND IT'S AN SUV. I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH. SO I DON'T REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. SO I THINK FOR THE MOST PART I THINK YEAH.

GOOD JOB. THAT'S GOOD. AND THEN THEY CUT DOWN THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS FROM 290 TO 250.

RIGHT. THAT'S A GOOD. AND I'LL JUST MENTION THAT WE'RE BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO GET ALL THIS LAND SWAP DONE. SO WE REALLY NEED LIKE YOU'VE HEARD IT TONIGHT ABOUT THE TAIL, THE HEADWINDS THAT WE HAVE WITH INFLATION, WITH LEGISLATURE.

THIS IS A BIG TAILWIND FOR US FOR SALES TAX GENERATION.

SO YOU KNOW THAT TIMELINE IS VERY IMPORTANT. THANK YOU.

YEAH NO I AGREE WITH ADAM. THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THIS PROJECT.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT ADDITION TO FLOWER MOUND.

SO THANK YOU. I AGREE. I THINK THERE'S SOME MINOR THINGS THAT I MIGHT WANT TO ARGUE ABOUT, BUT THE FACT THAT IT IS IT'S THE ONLY HIGHWAY FRONTAGE IN FLOWER MOUND MAKES MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.

AND IT'S A DIFFERENT DECISION CRITERIA. SO BESIDES THAT, WELL DONE.

YEAH, IT MAKES COMMERCIAL SENSE AND IT MAKES SENSE RESIDENTIAL FOR RESIDENTS.

SO YEAH, I AGREE. ALL RIGHT. TOMMY, DID YOU WANT TO I JUST WANTED TO ADD ONE THING.

I JUST I WAS REMISS TO MENTION IT ON THE THE BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT SHOULD THIS GET APPROVED TONIGHT AGAIN SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL FROM THE TOWN ATTORNEY.

WORK CLOSELY WITH ARGYLE. THEY'VE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH.

IF THEY THAT WILL GO TO THEIR SEPTEMBER 21ST MEETING.

AND IF THAT GETS APPROVED, THE NEXT STEP FOR THE TOWN WOULD BE TO DO ANOTHER TOWN INITIATED ITEM FOR THE ZONING AND THE LAND USE FOR THE PIECE THAT COMES INTO THE TOWN,

[02:15:01]

OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO SEPARATE MOTION FOR ALL SIX ITEMS. YES, PLEASE. OKAY. WELL, MAYBE DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

I'LL DO THE FIRST ONE. SO I WILL MOVE APPROVAL FOR ITEM L5.

BOUNDARY. BOUNDARY AGREEMENT ONE AS PRESENTED, SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL BY THE TOWN ATTORNEY.
