NOT ONLY TO THE CITY OF MANATEE, BUT THE GREATER AUSTIN. TRAVIS COUNTY COMMUNITY. WE HAVE ANOTHER PRESENTATION. AND AS YOU ALL ARE COMING UP, Y'ALL READY FOR THAT? THIS PRESENTATION BE MAYNARD TOWN SQUARE DEVELOPMENT. YES, SIR. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. I HAVE HERE TONIGHT A COUPLE OF DISTINGUISHED GUESTS HERE, AND I'D LIKE TO PRESENT THE MAYNARD TOWN SQUARE DEVELOPMENT. I HAVE VENU MADHAV REDDY OF SHENANDOAH DEVELOPMENT GROUP AND PAVEL HARDAGE WITH METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT, AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO YOU A NEW DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S EAST OF HERE ON US 290. IT'S GOING TO BE QUITE AN EXCITING CONCEPT. THANK YOU SIR. WHO'S GOING TO TAKE THE SHOW? ALL RIGHT. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. MR. HARVEY. MR. MAYOR AND THE ESTEEMED COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK THANK YOU ALL FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT OUR PROJECT HERE. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. WE ARE IN THE VERY FINAL STAGES OF GETTING THE APPROVALS FOR FROM THE CITY TO GET OUR CONSTRUCTION GOING. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE CAN BUILD THE CITY HALL AND LIBRARY HERE.
SO WE KIND OF PIVOTED ALL OUR CONVERSATIONS TO SEE HOW WE CAN FIT IN THIS CONCEPT. HERE, IN THIS, IN THIS LOT. IT'S RIGHT ON 290. OUR LOT IS IT'S RIGHT HERE ON 290, EAST OF 973. AND IT IT HAS A VERY GOOD VISIBILITY IN TERMS OF THE ACCESS POINTS FROM ALL THE DIRECTIONS. SO I'LL WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'LL INTRODUCE TO MR. POWELL, WHO'S GOING TO WALK US THROUGH THE PROJECT. BOTH THE CONCEPTS AND YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT IT ENTAILS. LIKE YOU KNOW, WHAT COMMERCIAL, HOW MUCH COMMERCIAL WE HAVE, HOW MUCH OF RESIDENTIAL WE HAVE. AND ALL THE DETAILS. SO TO YOU ALL SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. GOOD. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, PLEASURE TO SEE YOU. THANKS FOR HAVING US TONIGHT. AND I ALSO WANT TO REALLY THANK THE CITY STAFF AND MR. JONES AND MR. MOORE FOR MEETING WITH US AND TALKING TO US ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WE HAD A PLEASURE MEETING ONE ON ONE OR JUST DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS CONCEPT. IT'S A REALLY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. LIKE WHEN YOU MENTIONED THIS SITE LENDS ITSELF
[00:10:01]
TO BE IN THE CENTER OF THE FUTURE GROWTH OF MAYNOR. AS IT WAS JUST MENTIONED BEFORE, OUR PRESENTATION, THE CITY OF MAYNOR IS BOOMING. IT NEEDS NEW INFRASTRUCTURE, NEW COMMERCIAL SPACES, NEW CITY HALL, NEW LIBRARY, AND SO YOU YOU ALL HAVE A VISION TO EXPAND AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SERVICES TO YOUR RESIDENTS. I THINK THIS SITE COULD QUALIFY FOR THAT. SO OVER THE LAST MONTH, SINCE WE'VE BEEN APPROACHED WITH THIS IDEA, OUR DESIGN TEAM HAVE BEEN STUDYING VARIOUS CONCEPTS THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WITH YOU, WITH THE EMPHASIS OF PROVIDING A NEW LOCATION FOR POTENTIAL CITY HALL AND LIBRARY. SO WITH THAT, MAYBE IF YOU DON'T MIND, MA'AM, WE CAN JUMP INTO THE SLIDES. I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE GOING TO WALK US. OKAY, HELP ME WITH THAT.THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T INTRODUCED MYSELF. MY NAME IS PAUL HARDY. I'M WITH METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT. I FORGOT, SO WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS PROJECT. THE FIRST SLIDE SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE SITE, AND WE PURPOSELY DREW THOSE CIRCLES. AND WE ALSO IDENTIFIED YOUR CURRENT LOCATION WHERE WE SIT TODAY. IT'S PROBABLY HARD TO SEE FROM THE DISTANCE, BUT I CAN ACTUALLY GO AND POINT IT OUT. THE CURRENT CITY HALL IS RIGHT HERE. JUST BE SURE NOT TO TOUCH IT. IT. YEAH, CURRENT LOCATION IS RIGHT HERE. SO WE'RE OUR SITE IS LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THIS EXHIBIT. SO WE DREW A CIRCLE OF ONE MILE, TWO MILES AND THREE MILES TO KIND OF SHOW YOU CENTRAL PARK. FANTASTIC. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH BETTER. SO WE DREW THOSE THREE CIRCLES. THE ONE MILE, TWO MILE AND THREE MILE CIRCLE CIRCLES CIRCLES TO KIND OF TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHERE HOW THIS FALLS WITHIN YOUR CITY LIMITS, BUT ALSO THE FUTURE GROWTH. YOUR CURRENT CITY HALL IS LOCATED 2.2 MILES FROM FROM THE CENTER OF OUR SITE. BUT IN ADDITION TO THIS, WE KIND OF LOOKED AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MAYNARD TODAY. WHAT ARE THE KIND OF GROWTH DIRECTIONS AND WHAT TYPE OF USES ARE BEING DEVELOPED. SO WE STARTED OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL ALREADY UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND ALREADY DEVELOPED AND PLANNED, BUT WE ALSO LOOKED AT EDUCATIONAL, INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND OTHER USES. SO THEY'RE COLOR CODED IN THIS PRESENTATION. SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW IT ALL SPREADS OUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND OBVIOUSLY 290 BEING THE MAIN CORRIDOR AND GOING TOWARDS ELGIN, I'M GLAD I SAID ELGIN. I USED TO LIVE IN CHICAGO AND THERE'S A CITY OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO THAT SPELLS THE SAME NAME. THEY CALL IT ELGIN, SO I ALWAYS GET CONFUSED, RIGHT? BUT REALLY SHOWS YOU HOW CENTRAL THIS LOCATION IS IN OUR OPINION, IT WILL SERVE THE COMMUNITY OVERALL. IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS REALLY JUST A ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT ON OUR SITE. SO THIS IS OUR SITE. IT'S ALMOST RECTANGULAR IN SHAPE 290 ON THE NORTH SIDE. ALL HIGHWAY 20 ON THE SOUTH SIDE. AND YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF ROOFTOPS. RIGHT? A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL DENSITY AROUND THIS SITE. SO THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CREATE A GREAT PROXIMITY. BUT ALSO IN OUR MIND THIS THIS SITE IS SO WELL LOCATED BECAUSE IT WILL BE ACCESSIBLE FROM 290. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT 290 HAS A LOT OF CONGESTION. BUT THIS SITE WILL BE EQUALLY ACCESSED FROM OLD HIGHWAY 20 THROUGH CONNECTION ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND EVEN FROM THE WEST. FROM THE EAST SIDE AND THE WEST SIDE. SO YOUR ACCESS POINTS IN AND OUT OF THE SITE SO PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY DRIVE THROUGH IT. PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO GET TO OUR SITE FROM ALL KINDS OF PLACES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THANK YOU. HERE IS THE SITE PLAN THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED. WE STUDIED A NUMBER OF OPTIONS, AND I'M NOT SURE IF I'M DISTURBING ANYBODY'S VIEWS. OR YOU CAN ALL SEE WELL, CAN I STAND HERE? I'M SORRY. YEAH.
OKAY. GREAT. SO 290 IS ON YOUR LEFT. JUST YOUR ORIENTATION. AND OVERALL, THE PROJECT IS DIVIDED INTO KIND OF THREE, THREE, THREE MAJOR ZONES. THE FIRST ZONE IS COMMERCIAL MIXED USE, WHICH IS LOCATED CLOSER TO 290. THE SECOND ZONE IS PUBLIC WHICH INCLUDES POTENTIALLY THE CITY HALL, PUBLIC LIBRARY, GARAGE, VERY LARGE PUBLIC PARK, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, PUBLIC SQUARE.
SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE HERE. AND THEN THE SOUTH SIDE IS MIXED OF USES, INCLUDING SOME RESIDENTIAL AND A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT RESIDENTIAL USES. BUT ALSO WE HAVE PROPOSAL. WE'RE PROPOSING A MEDICAL DISTRICT. SO THESE ARE LIKE SUB USES WITHIN THOSE 2 OR 3 I'M SORRY. BIG BLOCKS. THE IDEA IS TO CREATE A VERY PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY URBAN ENVIRONMENT THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME. AND I'M AN ARCHITECT BY EDUCATION MYSELF. I'M FROM EUROPE. I STUDIED ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM IN EUROPE AND THE US. I WORKED WITH A LOT OF A LOT OF CITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES OVER THE YEARS. THE ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS THAT WE BROUGHT INTO THIS PROJECT, IT'S A COMPANY CALLED PAPAGEORGE HOMES. THEY'RE AWARD WINNING ARCHITECTS AND URBAN PLANNERS FROM CHICAGO. THEY DO PROJECTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, FROM NEW YORK TO HAWAII. BUT YOU KNOW,
[00:15:03]
THE MAIN POINT OF THIS PROJECT WAS WHAT IS THE VISION? WHAT CAN WE CREATE HERE? RIGHT. AND WE ALL KNOW HOW QUICKLY YOUR CITY IS GROWING. WE ALL KNOW HOW QUICKLY CITIES IN TEXAS ARE GROWING AND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS BEING AN URBAN PLANNER AND ARCHITECT. AND I ALWAYS APPRECIATE PLANNERS, JOBS, YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU FORESEE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE AND WHAT TYPE OF PLAN SHOULD WE DEVELOP? SO WE TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT APPROACH AND WE SAY WHAT IS WHAT IS CLASSICAL DESIGN IN URBANISM? HOW CAN WE CREATE A SITE THAT'S GOING TO WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME? HOW CAN WE CREATE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE VIBRANT AND SERVE THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE FOR DECADES AFTER WE'RE NOT HERE AND CREATE MORE OF A LEGACY PROJECT? SO WE TOOK THIS VERY EUROPEAN APPROACH TO CITY PLANNING HERE THAT STARTS WITH A PUBLIC SQUARE. SO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE CENTER IS A VERY LARGE PUBLIC SQUARE THAT WILL BE MULTIFUNCTIONAL. THIS COULD HOUSE A BEAUTIFUL PARK FOR THE RESIDENTS. ALSO, FOOD TRUCKS, FARMERS MARKETS, ACTIVITIES, CONCERTS, EVENTS. THIS COULD BE YOUR SQUARE WHERE YOU CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS AND FIREWORKS FOR NEW YEAR'S OR PARADES OR OR ANY TYPE OF SPECIAL EVENTS. AND IT'S ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYBODY AND KIND OF BECOMES THE HEART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND THIS PUBLIC SQUARE IS WRAPPED WITH A LOT OF COMMERCIAL USES ON ALL SIDES. SO YOU SEE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT BUILDINGS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. WE ENVISIONED THAT THERE COULD BE A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, FOR EXAMPLE. RIGHT. OR YOUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICE, AS THE CITY IS GROWING, LOCATED ACROSS THE PARK AND A LOT OF RETAIL ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES ABOVE, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT'S A VERY TRADITIONAL CLASSICAL KIND OF AXIS DESIGN. SO YOU CAN SEE IT'S VERY SYMMETRICAL AND Y SYMMETRICAL BECAUSE SYMMETRICAL IS EASY FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND NAVIGATE AND WE ALL, AS HUMANS FEEL VERY GOOD IN SYMMETRICAL SPACES. WE ARE BY DESIGNED BY GOD, SYMMETRICALLY, RIGHT. AND WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO MIMIC ALL OF THIS AND MIMIC NATURE. SO ON THE NORTH SIDE PLAN NORTH, WHICH IS EAST, YOU WILL SEE CITY HALL AND PUBLIC LIBRARY. SO THIS PUBLIC SQUARE IS GOING TO BE VISIBLE FROM ALL SIDES, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSED AT THE END WITH WITH THE CITY HALL BUILDING AND THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. NOW, WE DID NOT WANT THE CITY HALL AND PUBLIC LIBRARY TO BE HIDDEN FROM THE VIEW. SO ACTUALLY WE DECIDED TO CREATE A VERY LARGE PUBLIC PARK ON THE NORTH ON THE I'M SORRY, ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE SITE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY LARGE GREEN SPACE OPEN TO GENERAL PUBLIC, AND THE CITY CITY HALL WILL SIT IN THE CENTER OF IT, SO IT WILL BE VISIBLE FROM ALL SIDES AND IT WILL OBVIOUSLY PROVIDE A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES, WHICH I'LL GET INTO. SECOND, AS FAR AS USES FOR THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, BECAUSE THE LIBRARY WILL BE SURROUNDED WITH GREEN SPACE ON THE LEFT SIDE FROM THE FROM THE MAIN SQUARE, WE HAVE A VARIETY OF MIXED USE BUILDINGS, INCLUDING A HOTEL.THE HOTEL POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE CONFERENCE CENTER IN IT BECAUSE WE ENVISION AS YOUR CITY IS GROWING, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE FLYING HERE OR DRIVING HERE FOR BUSINESS, FOR MEETINGS, FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS, AT CITY HALL, MEETINGS WITH YOUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STAFF. IT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HOST CONFERENCES AND EVENTS AND ALSO HAVE THEM LOCATED IN THE HOTEL AND MIXED USE BUILDINGS WITH OFFICES ON THE OTHER SIDE. WE ENVISION RETAIL COMMERCIAL SPACES ON THE GROUND FLOOR, SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR, POTENTIALLY MORE OFFICE SPACE WITH INCUBATOR FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND STARTUPS, MAYBE AN ACCELERATOR. I MEAN, THESE ARE A LOT OF SPACES THAT YOU CAN USE IN THE FUTURE AND BE AS INTERACTIVE AS POSSIBLE, WRAPPED WITH SOME HIGHER QUALITY RESIDENTIAL ON ON BOTH SIDES. THE AS YOU AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS PLAN, I'LL GET TO COMMERCIAL IN A SECOND. YOU KNOW AS AS VENU MENTIONED, THIS SITE WAS ORIGINALLY PRE-APPROVED. THEY WERE READY TO BREAK GROUND AND START BUILDING SOME INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THE PROJECT WAS PLANNED IN A MORE TRADITIONAL WAY THAN THIS, RIGHT? IT WOULD. WHAT WAS PROPOSED BEFORE WAS JUST A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL AND A LOT OF HIGH DENSITY COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL, WITH VERY LITTLE PUBLIC SPACE, WITH VERY LITTLE GREEN SPACE. RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT'S ALLOWED BY YOUR CURRENT ZONING. AND THAT'S WHAT MOST ZONING CODES AND VARIETY OF CITIES ALLOW. BUT WE THINK THIS CAN BE MUCH BETTER. SO FROM THE HIGH LEVEL POINT OF VIEW, THE APPROACH TO THIS PROJECT WAS NOT ONLY TO CREATE THE CITY HALL AND THE PUBLIC SQUARE, BUT ALSO CREATE A LOT OF COMMUNAL SPACE AND PARKS AND GREEN SPACE. HOW CAN YOU CREATE GREEN SPACE? YOU CAN CREATE GREEN SPACE BY REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE BUILDINGS AND FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDINGS, BY INCREASING THE HEIGHT A LITTLE BIT AND CREATING HIGHER DENSITY WITHIN THE BUILDINGS, LIKE, IMAGINE YOU HAVE AN OFFICE BUILDING. THAT'S ONE STORY AND IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, FIVE ACRES IF YOU PUT IT ON FOUR LEVELS, IT WOULD BE A QUARTER OF AN ACRE, RIGHT? SO THAT'S THE APPROACH WE TOOK BY DOING THAT. WE INCREASED OUR GREEN SPACE THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT FROM IT WAS ALMOST 7% TO, YOU KNOW, TO OVER 25%, RIGHT NOW. SO OVER 25% OF THE PROJECT WOULD BE ALL JUST GREEN SPACE THROUGHOUT, NOT ONLY THE
[00:20:02]
PUBLIC SQUARE, BUT ALSO THE PUBLIC PARK ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND THEN MULTIPLE POCKET PARKS THAT ARE SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. SO THIS PART IS TRULY MIXED USE. THIS PART LOCATED TOWARDS 290, IS PURELY COMMERCIAL. THE MAIN ACCESS POINT WOULD BE FROM THE NORTH AND FROM THE SOUTH. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS THE MAIN STREET GOING THROUGH AND WE'RE PROPOSING A LARGE ROUNDABOUT. WHY ROUNDABOUT? ROUNDABOUT SAVES LIVES, RIGHT? THERE ARE MULTIPLE STUDIES AND TRAFFIC STUDIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. A LOT MORE CITIES ARE ADOPTING ROUNDABOUTS BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST SAFER FOR CARS. AND PEDESTRIANS. AND BUT ALSO THIS ROUNDABOUT BECOMES KIND OF LIKE ANOTHER SUB PART, YOU KNOW, COMMUNAL SPACE. POINT OF INTEREST, ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST, A BREAK POINT. AND IT'S A DEFINITION BETWEEN ALL THOSE DIFFERENT USES. SO ON MY LEFT YOU SEE COMMERCIAL ON THE SOUTH, WE'RE ENVISIONING A MEDICAL DISTRICT. WE DID HEAR FROM YOUR STAFF AND FROM OUR RESEARCH THAT WE HAVE DONE THAT THERE'S A TREMENDOUS NEED FOR MEDICAL OFFICE HERE. THE DOCTORS ARE LEAVING MANER THAT OTHER DOCTORS WHO WANT TO COME IN CAN'T FIND, YOU KNOW, WELL-DESIGNED AND WELL-PLANNED MEDICAL OFFICE SPACE. AND THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST FROM THE MARKET IN GENERAL FOR, YOU KNOW, MARKET RATE, MEDICAL OFFICES THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL KINDS OF MEDICAL OFFICES, RIGHT? SO WHY NOT CREATE A MEDICAL DISTRICT THAT WILL EVOLVE OVER TIME INTO SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS? THERE IS ALSO A CONNECTION TO THE WEST, AS I MENTIONED, AND CONNECTION TO THE I'M SORRY TO THE EAST CONNECTION TO THE WEST. I'M CONFUSING MYSELF AND THOSE TWO MAJOR ENTRY POINTS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE OF THE SITE AND THE AND THE WEST SIDE OF THE SITE. THEY'RE BOTH SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL USES.THERE IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME COMMUNITY ON THIS SITE. THERE IS A PROJECT JUST BROKE GROUND WITH MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS ON THE WEST SIDE FROM OUR FROM OUR PROJECT. SO WE DECIDED TO SCALE THE SIZE OF THE BUILDINGS AS WE APPROACH THE EDGES. SO WE'RE KIND OF DROPPING THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDINGS AS WE'RE APPROACHING THE EDGES OF OUR SITE, AND WE'RE WRAPPING THIS WITH SOME TOWNHOMES, NOT A LOT OF TOWNHOMES. THE ORIGINAL PLAN, I THINK WE WERE CLOSE TO 400 TOWNHOMES. CORRECT. RIGHT, RIGHT. AND NOW WE REDUCED THAT NUMBER TO 64. WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TOO MUCH HOUSING. PROBABLY TODAY AND IN THE PIPELINE IN MANER AND OTHER CITIES ARE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUE. NOT ENOUGH COMMERCIAL, NOT ENOUGH DIVERSITY. SO THIS PROJECT IS REALLY REBALANCE TOWARD COMMERCIAL AND VERY INTERACTIVE USES. NOW I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO THIS COMMERCIAL COMPONENT, WHICH IS ALONG TO 90. IT'S HARD TO PREDICT WHAT THE MARKET WILL ENTAIL IN THE FUTURE, RIGHT. BUT BECAUSE OF OUR EXPERIENCE AND WORKING WITH OTHER CITIES AND OTHER MARKETS IN CENTRAL TEXAS, WE HAVE VERY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT TYPE OF TENANTS OR USERS ARE LOOKING FOR SPACE RIGHT NOW. AND QUITE FRANKLY, WE ALSO BELIEVE IN MIXING AS MANY AS POSSIBLE, MIXING DIFFERENT USES, DIFFERENT TYPE OF TENANTS, DIFFERENT DIFFERENT BRANDS IN ONE PLACE BECAUSE IT WILL CREATE A MORE VIBRANT ENVIRONMENT. THE MAIN ENTRANCE. WE DON'T HAVE THE NAME FOR THIS STREET. THIS WOULD BE AN INTERESTING COMPETITION OR DISCUSSION. THIS THIS COULD BE DESIGNED LIKE SOUTH CONGRESS TO SOME EXTENT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT CALLED MUSIC LANE AT SOUTH CONGRESS. I'M A BIG FAN OF THAT. THERE WERE THREE DEVELOPERS, I THINK ONE FROM TEXAS, ONE FROM NEW YORK AND ONE FROM DALLAS. THEY ALL GOT TOGETHER AND THEY SAID, WHY DON'T WE DO SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE ZONING ALLOWS? AND THEY WORKED WITH THE CITY AND THEY CREATED THIS AMAZING ENVIRONMENT WITH 3 OR 4 STORY BUILDINGS THAT ARE MIXED USE COMMERCIAL ON THE GROUND FLOOR, YOU KNOW, IN THEIR CASE, SOME UNDERGROUND PARKING, SOME SURFACE PARKING. BUT WE ENVISIONED THIS TO BE LIKE A MAIN COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR WHERE WITH EASY PARKING, VERY ACCESSIBLE, VERY PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY. YOU CAN COME HERE, DROP YOUR CAR AND JUST WALK TO STORES. RIGHT. AND YOU CAN WALK FROM STORE TO STORE, FROM RESTAURANTS TO, TO ENTERTAINMENT. AND SO FORTH. SO THOSE BUILDINGS HERE ON THE MAIN STREET WOULD BE MULTI-STORY, WHERE THE REST OF THE RETAIL WOULD BE MORE OF YOUR TRADITIONAL SINGLE STORY RETAIL WITH LARGER BOXES, MID SIZE BOXES. WE ALSO ENVISION POTENTIALLY A MOVIE THEATER OR EVIL OR ONE OF THOSE TYPE OF USES OVER THE YEARS WE WORKED WITH FLIX BREWHOUSE OUT OF ROUNDROCK. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE VERY, VERY GOOD AT DINING AND BEER BREWING. SO THOSE TYPE OF USES WHERE YOU CAN GO AND WATCH A MOVIE, BUT ALSO HAVE SOME FUN FOR ADULTS AND KIDS, POTENTIALLY. AND THEN MORE RETAIL ALONG TO 90 WITH SOME RESTAURANT PADS AND AN ADDITIONAL HOTEL. SO WE FEEL THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AT LEAST TWO HOTELS. ONE HOTEL COULD BE MORE BUSINESS ORIENTED.
PEOPLE WHO ARE STAYING HERE TO DO BUSINESS IN MANER, WHO HAVE COMPANIES HERE WANT TO VISIT WITH THE CITY HALL. YOUR OFFICIALS THAT CONFERENCES AND EVENTS. THAT WOULD BE THE MAIN HOTEL THAT'S LOCATED CLOSER TO THE PUBLIC SQUARE AND THE SECOND HOTEL WOULD BE FURTHER AWAY, BUT
[00:25:01]
CLOSER TO 290. THIS IS MORE OF A TRAVELERS HOTEL, YOU KNOW, IF SOMEBODY HAS FAMILY LIVING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEY COME AND VISIT FOR THANKSGIVING OR BIRTHDAY OR EVENTS, OR THEY JUST TRAVELING ON TO 90 DAYS WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO STAY OVERNIGHT. SO THIS COULD BE MORE OF A BUSINESS, MORE, MORE, HIGHER END HOTEL. THIS COULD BE MORE JUST YOUR TYPICAL, YOU KNOW, THREE STAR TRAVELERS HOTEL. IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS SHOWS THE IMAGE OF THE PROJECT IN 3DS. SO WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THOSE IMAGES HERE, AND I HOPE THIS WILL EXPLAIN OUR CONCEPT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. AND OBVIOUSLY YOU SEE THIS VERY LARGE PUBLIC SQUARE AND HOW SYMMETRICAL IT IS. RIGHT? THERE IS A CLEAR AXIS GOING FROM THE WEST SIDE ALL THE WAY TO CITY HALL. SO NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT, YOU'RE IMMEDIATELY GOING TO SEE THIS PUBLIC, LARGE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE AND THE CITY HALL WITH THE LIBRARY. PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THE BUILDINGS HAVE NOT BEEN DESIGNED YET. THESE ARE JUST MASSING SKETCHES. SO THOSE DRAWINGS WERE CREATED TO EXPLAIN THE ZONING AND THE USES. WE DID NOT HAVE TIME IN 3 OR 4 WEEKS TO DESIGN THE ARCHITECTURE OF THIS PROJECT. IT TAKES A LOT MORE WORK. SO THESE ARE JUST BASICALLY BOXES LIKE LEGO BOXES, RIGHT? OR OR BLOCKS THAT WERE SHOWING OVER HERE. PLEASE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW. THIS IS KIND OF VIEW. IF I WOULD BE FLYING OVER 290 AND I'M LOOKING TOWARDS THE MAIN ENTRY DRIVE. WE ALSO STUDIED A LOT OF OTHER MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS OF THIS SCALE, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF COLLEAGUES IN THE INDUSTRY AND FOLKS LIKE ENDEAVOR WHO WORKED ON DOMAIN. RIGHT. AND SO OVER THE YEARS AND EVEN RECENTLY, AS WE WERE DESIGNING THIS PROJECT, WE ASKED THEM, WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE WRONG? WHAT ARE THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM OTHER MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS? AND ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY, PEOPLE SAY PARKING RIGHT? EVERYBODY IN TEXAS DRIVES. SO WE DON'T HAVE A PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION HERE, AND WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAVE ONE COMING ANYTIME SOON TO THE EXTENT LIKE OTHER, YOU KNOW, EUROPEAN OR EAST COAST CITIES DO. BUT WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE IT MUCH MORE CONVENIENT AND MUCH MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY. SO WE'RE ENVISIONING THAT THIS MAIN STREET, WE WILL HAVE PARKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE RETAIL STORES. SO IT'S QUICK, CONVENIENT IF THIS IS THE EYEWEAR STORE OR SOME KIND OF YOU KNOW, QUICK CONVENIENCE STORE, YOU CAN QUICKLY PARK, GET IN AND OUT AND DRIVE OFF. AND THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE A LOT OF PARKING SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. SO NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, YOU CAN WALK TO THE RETAIL AND OTHER USES. AND AS YOU'VE NOTICED, THERE'S A LOT MORE TREES THAN YOU TYPICALLY SEE IN PARKING LOTS OF, YOU KNOW, 1980S OR 1990S SHOPPING CENTERS. SO WE'RE TRYING TO ELIMINATE THIS HEAT, YOU KNOW, HEAT ISLAND OR WHATEVER PEOPLE CALL IT, AND GET RID OF THE CONCRETE AND BRING AS MUCH GREEN SPACE AS POSSIBLE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE DETENTION PONDS. WE FEEL THAT THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR AT LEAST 1 OR 2 OR MAYBE THREE OF THEM. WE HAVEN'T DONE THE FINAL ENGINEERING YET, BUT AT LEAST THE ONE THAT'S IN THE PARK COULD BE A WET POND. SO THIS COULD BE A LITTLE LAKE WITH FISH AND A NICE AMENITY FOR THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS PART OF THE WETLANDS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PRESERVE. WE DON'T HAVE TO, BUT WE WANT TO. I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT THING TO DO BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW THE, YOU KNOW, THE DRAINAGE THROUGH THE SOIL. AND AGAIN, WE HAVE A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THIS PROJECT IS OPEN TO THE SKY AND IT'S ALL JUST GREEN NATURAL SPACE. IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. HERE IS A ZOOMED VIEW ON THAT MAIN STREET WITH NO NAME. RIGHT WHEN YOU DRIVE INTO THE PROJECT, THE MAIN STREET, LET'S CALL IT FOR NOW. RIGHT? YOU SEE THE ROUNDABOUT HERE AND WE JUST SHOW TEXAS IN THE US FLAG AND POTENTIALLY HOW THE SCALE OF THE BUILDINGS COULD FEEL IF YOU WERE A PEDESTRIAN. PLENTY OF STREET PARKING, VERY WIDE SIDEWALKS.WHY? BECAUSE THEY'RE HEALTHIER. THEY'RE SAFER. AND PEDESTRIAN WILL USE THEM MORE OFTEN IF THEY'RE WIDER. ALSO, CANOPY CANOPIES ON ALL THE BUILDINGS PROVIDE SHADE SO NEEDED IN TEXAS SUMMERS. YOU KNOW, CEILING FANS AND, YOU KNOW, ALL KINDS OF FEATURES TO MAKE IT AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO SPEND THEIR TIME OUTDOOR IN THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. HERE YOU GO. HERE'S LIKE A ZOOM IN ONTO THE PUBLIC SQUARE CITY HALL AT THE END, LIBRARY IN THE RIGHT. PARKING ON THE LEFT COULD BE FLIPPED. WE DON'T KNOW YET, BUT BASICALLY THIS FEELS PRETTY GOOD. WHAT'S REALLY GREAT ABOUT THIS FABRIC LIBRARY? THAT THIS FABRIC LIBRARY WILL SIT WITHIN A PARK ENVIRONMENT. SO WHAT IT DOES, YOU WILL HAVE A LOT OF NATURAL LIGHT COMING INTO THE BUILDING BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BE SURROUNDED WITH OTHER BUILDINGS. THAT'S AS YOU SOME OF YOU REMEMBER IN MISTER JONES TOO, WHEN WE STUDIED SOME OTHER, YOU KNOW, SKETCH DESIGN SKETCHES, WE HAD THE CITY HALL IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, AND IT WAS SO NATURAL TO KIND OF PUSH IT OUT INTO THIS GREEN SPACE, RIGHT, BECAUSE IT PROVIDES SO MANY BENEFITS. THIS LIBRARY COULD BE A SEVEN DAY A WEEK, ALL YEAR ROUND THING. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FOR THE BOOKS. IT
[00:30:05]
COULD BE FOR CLASSES AND FAN CLUBS AND HOBBY SHOPS AND EVENTS AND TRAINING AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR KIDS OR EMPTY NESTERS OR ELDERLY. IT COULD BE ALL KINDS OF THINGS, AND IT'S CONNECTED TO THE OUTDOOR. SO AS WE WOULD DESIGN THIS BUILDING IN THE FUTURE, THE LIBRARY COULD HAVE LARGE TERRACES WHERE YOU CAN GO AND RENT A BOOK AND SIT OUTSIDE AND ENJOY BEAUTIFUL DAY AND BE OUTDOORS READING YOUR BOOK. WE ALSO HAVE SPORTS, SPORTS FACILITIES, RIGHT? MAYBE TENNIS COURTS, MAYBE PICKLEBALL. I MEAN, ALL KINDS OF OPTIONS COME TO MIND BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF SPACE, BECAUSE WE OPENED UP THIS LOT INTO A LOT OF GREEN SPACE. THIS SQUARE, LIKE I MENTIONED, YOU CAN SEE THE SCALE OF IT. IT'S VERY LARGE. IT'S ENORMOUS. RIGHT. THIS WOULD BE PROBABLY THE LARGEST SQUARE OUT OF ALL THE AUSTIN SATELLITE CITIES. EVEN AUSTIN DOESN'T HAVE THAT EITHER. RIGHT. SO THIS THIS COULD BE THE DESTINATION PLACE FOR NOT ONLY THE RESIDENTS OF MANNER, BUT I THINK THIS COULD ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM, FROM OTHER MARKETS TO COME HERE ON THE WEEKENDS OR FOR SHOPPING OR ENTERTAINMENT. AND THEN EVEN WITHIN THOSE MIXED USE BUILDINGS THAT ARE WRAPPING THE PUBLIC SQUARE, WE ALSO HAVE LITTLE POCKET PARKS, RIGHT? THEY'RE SMALL, BUT THEY'RE LITTLE TINY POCKET PARKS. IT'S REALLY COOL IF YOU LIVE IN THIS BUILDING.YOU MAY WORK HERE AND LIVE HERE, AND YOU CAN WALK YOUR DOG OUTSIDE RIGHT HERE IN THESE LITTLE POCKET PARKS THAT ARE SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. THIS SKETCH SHOWS A LOT OF FOOD TRUCKS AND THE FARMERS MARKET. WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE YOU KNOW, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK FARMER'S MARKET. MAYBE WE CAN BUILD AWNINGS AND CANOPIES. SO THERE'S, YOU KNOW, LOCAL PRODUCERS, LOCAL FOOD PRODUCERS, CSAS OR WHATEVER THEY CAN BRING THEIR PRODUCTS AND, AND SHOWCASE THEM, YOU KNOW, WEEK ROUNDS. THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. AND AGAIN, IT WAS YOU NOTICE A LOT OF STREET PARKING. SO ONE OF THE THINGS I'M SURE A LOT OF YOU GO TO DOMAIN, RIGHT FROM TIME TO TIME AND YOU SEE IT WORKS, BUT IT'S NOT VERY CONVENIENT. YOU GOT TO GO TO THIS MULTI-STORY GARAGE THAT'S HIDDEN SOMEWHERE, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WALK IN 110 DEGREE TEXAS HEAT TO GET TO YOUR STORE. IT'S NOT THE COOLEST EXPERIENCE EVER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU BUY ICE CREAM. IT'S GOING TO MELT ON THE WAY BY THE TIME YOU GET TO YOUR CAR. SO WITH THIS ONE, IT'S DIFFERENT, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE REALLY HAVE WIDE STREETS THAT ARE GOING TO FEEL VERY SAFE FOR PEDESTRIANS. WIDE SIDEWALKS, PLENTY OF STREET PARKING EVERYWHERE, RIGHT? BUT EVEN WITH THIS STREET PARKING, YOU SEE WE HAVE GREEN ISLANDS AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVEN'T DESIGNED LANDSCAPING YET, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL BRING THE BEST LANDSCAPING ARCHITECTS WE CAN FIND. AND WE HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH A LOT OF ARCHITECTS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. AND WE ENVISION HERE A WORLD CLASS LANDSCAPING ARCHITECTURE, YOU KNOW, FOCUS ON PRESERVATION OF WATER AND NATIVE PLANTS AND THINGS LIKE THIS. YOU KNOW, WE ENVISION SOME OF THIS COULD BE ZERO SCAPE, YOU KNOW, PLANT A LOT OF NATIVE TEXAS PLANTS THAT REQUIRE LESS WATER, LESS MAINTENANCE, BUT PROVIDE ENOUGH SHADE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
THERE YOU GO. HERE'S ANOTHER VIEW OF THE PUBLIC SQUARE AND CITY HALL. AND THOSE BUILDINGS.
AGAIN THESE ARE NOT VERY TALL. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FIVE FLOORS VERSUS FOUR RIGHT. SO IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. BUT WE COMPRESS THE BUILDINGS INTO SMALLER LAND PADS. WE INCREASE THE HEIGHT BY A FLOOR OR TWO. THIS IS YOU KNOW, BY ZONING WE CAN GO FOUR FLOORS HERE. RIGHT. SO WE'RE JUST ADDING AN EXTRA LEVEL. IT'S NOT A LOT OF HEIGHT. AND THEN AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, AS WE'RE DIGRESSING TOWARDS THOSE RESIDENTIAL USES THAT SURROUND THE SITE, WE'RE DROPPING THE HEIGHT AND WE'RE PROVIDING SOME TOWNHOMES. THIS PROJECT COULD PROVIDE HOUSING TYPES THAT ARE MISSING HERE. RIGHT. BECAUSE ALL YOU SEE AND IT'S NOT ONLY MAINERS ISSUE. IT'S LIKE TAYLOR AND LOCKHART AND ALL THOSE OTHER COMMUNITIES IN SAN ANTONIO. EVERYBODY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.
HOME BUILDERS COME IN AND BUILD A LOT OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, AND THEY'RE ALL ABOUT THE SAME.
THEY FEEL AND LOOK ABOUT THE SAME ALL OVER, ALL OVER TEXAS OR COUNTRY. AND THEN APARTMENT BUILDERS, NOTHING AGAINST THEM. THEY COME IN AND BUILD THE SAME AND THE SAME AND THE SAME APARTMENTS ABOUT THE SAME FLOOR PLANS ABOUT THE SAME PRICE POINT, ABOUT THE SAME STYLE. IF YOU'RE AN EMPTY NESTER AND YOU WANT TO SELL A HOME, WHERE DO YOU GO? DO YOU RENT AN APARTMENT? A LOT OF EMPTY NESTERS DON'T WANT TO HEAR. THEY WANT TO LIVE IN A CONDO FOR EXAMPLE. NOBODY'S OFFERING CONDOMINIUMS HERE FOR SALE, RIGHT? IF YOU'RE A YOUNG PROFESSIONAL AND YOU GET A JOB IN MAYNER, OR YOU WORK SOMEWHERE IN THE AREA, YOU START YOUR BUSINESS AND YOU'RE SINGLE, YOU DON'T NEED A HOME. WHY ARE YOU WHY DO YOU WANT TO PAY HIGH TAXES AND INSURANCE AND AIR CONDITIONING BILLS FOR A BIG HOME? IF YOU'RE A SINGLE YOUNG PROFESSIONAL, RIGHT? THAT TYPE OF HOUSING IS NOT OFFERED HERE. IF YOU'RE A SENIOR HOUSING, SENIOR CITIZEN OR YOU WANT ASSISTED OR NON-ASSISTED, OR MAYBE YOUR WELFARE OR NOT WEALTHY, IT DOESN'T MATTER. WHERE DO YOU GO? YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF SENIOR HOUSING HERE.
THERE'S ONE PROJECT BURLEY, RIGHT? WE LOOKED AT WE STUDIED YOUR MARKET HERE IN A GREAT DEPTH, AND WE BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD PROVIDE ALL THOSE OPTIONS, RIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S SO DIVERSE AND IT'S SO MIXED. AND ALSO THE CITY HALL AND THE LIBRARY WOULD BE SUCH A DRAW BECAUSE WE'RE
[00:35:04]
GOING TO PROVIDE IT ALL. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PARKS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PUBLIC SQUARE, WHICH GIVES THE CITY A SENSE OF IDENTITY THAT'S BADLY NEEDED. RIGHT? SCALE ARCHITECTURE, OPEN SPACES FOR EVERYBODY, SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT, RETAIL, HOUSING FOR ALL KINDS OF INCOME LEVELS, HOUSING FOR ALL KINDS OF AGE GROUPS AND DEMOGRAPHICS. COMPLETE PERFECT MIX. WHY? BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SCALE. AND YOU HAD A VISION TO APPROACH US AND TALK ABOUT THIS, AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I THINK THAT'S THE LAST SLIDE. RIGHT? OKAY. ONE MORE VIEW. HERE WE GO.OKAY. I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAD TO SAY. AND THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. THANKS FOR HAVING US. THIS IS JUST MORE OF A DETAILED OVERVIEW OF HOW THOSE BUILDINGS ARE BROKEN DOWN. BUT WE DON'T NEED TO GET INTO THE DETAILS OF EVERY SINGLE FLOOR. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION, IF YOU DON'T MIND. THANK YOU. SO MUCH. GO AHEAD. WHAT PART OF THE OR WHICH SECTION OR AREA OF THE VISION WOULD YOU HAVE? SOMETHING FOR FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN, EVEN SMALL CHILDREN, SIMILAR TO SOMETHING LIKE THE THINKERY OR CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, SOMETHING SOMEWHERE WHERE FAMILIES CAN HAVE A PERMANENT PLACE 100% RIGHT? THERE'S SO MUCH SO MUCH IN IN INTERACTIVE SPACE HERE WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT THERE'S PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE AGAIN, ALL THOSE BUILDINGS AND LET'S GO BACK MAYBE A COUPLE SLIDES, I'LL JUST SHOW YOU EXACTLY ALL THOSE BUILDINGS THAT REP LET'S. YEAH. HERE YOU GO. ALL THOSE BUILDINGS THAT WRAP AROUND THE PUBLIC SQUARE HAVE COMMERCIAL USES ON FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR. RIGHT. THESE COULD BE ALL KINDS OF CHILDREN MUSEUMS. YOU KNOW, RETAIL TRAINING CLASSES, SCULPTURES, PAINTING AND STUFF.
SAME WITH SECOND FLOOR, RIGHT. LIKE SECOND FLOOR WOULD BE COMMERCIAL, NOT RESIDENTIAL. SO THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR SURE. IT'S ALMOST ENDLESS. AND ACTUALLY WE'RE ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON LIKE WISH LIST AND IDEAS. AND WE GOT A LOT OF INPUT FROM SOME OF YOU WHO YOU HAD A CHANCE TO. AND MR. JONES AND MR. MOORE, AS WELL. BEFORE WE JUMP TO MORE QUESTIONS, I JUST WANT TO FIRST THANK ALL OF YOU ALL FOR PIVOTING BECAUSE YOU WERE DOWN A WAYS ON YOUR PROJECT AND WE CAME WITH, YOU KNOW WHAT, HEY, WHAT ABOUT THIS? RIGHT. AND SO THANK YOU FOR HEARING OUR HEARTS. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING WHERE THE CITY IS AND WHERE THE CITY WANTS TO GO. THANK YOU FOR TAKING OUR THOUGHTS AND OUR HOPES AND PUTTING IT INTO AN IMAGE. AND AS YOU SAY IT IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, RIGHT. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT I KNOW ALL THE PEOPLE IN, IN YOUR BUSINESS WORLD UNDERSTAND HOW BIG OF A DEAL THAT IS. I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT. OUT, OUT, OUT AROUND, BUT WE APPRECIATE THAT THAT HARD WORK FOR. THANK YOU, MAYOR. APPRECIATE THAT. AND A REALLY BIG, BIG YOU KNOW SHOUT OUT TO OUR TEAM BECAUSE OUR DESIGN TEAM WORKED ON THIS FOR THREE WEEKS. YOU KNOW, WEEKENDS AND DAYS AND NIGHTS JUST TO PUT THIS TOGETHER QUICKLY. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE WORK VERY HARD ON THIS. YOU KNOW, AND PUSHED OUT. RIGHT. BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE IN THE CLOSE OF CONSTRUCTION AND YOU GOT TO COME TO THE MIC. SO WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO CONSTRUCTION. SO WE WERE SUPPOSED TO START THE CONSTRUCTION IN AUGUST. NOW THE MINUTE YOU GUYS APPROACHED US, YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF CHANGED, PIVOTED THE WHOLE PROJECT TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH THIS CONCEPT PLAN. SO IT PUSHED US BY A YEAR OR SO. RIGHT, RIGHT NOW. BUT BUT I THINK, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE IT BACK TO THE SOCIETY. I MEAN, LIKE, YOU KNOW, CREATING THAT 25 ACRES OF GREEN SPACE FOR KIDS TO PLAY, YOU KNOW, PARKS LIKE YOU KNOW, YOU NAME IT. I MEAN, LIKE, EVEN THE DETENTION POND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN HAVE A FISH POND, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE HAVE THE AMENITIES, LIKE BRIDGE.
PEOPLE CAN GO HANG OUT THERE. SO I THINK WE PUT IN A LOT OF THOUGHT. AND THEN WE ACTUALLY, WE DROVE TO A LOT OF CITY CENTERS AND CITY HALLS, LIKE, WE SPENT LIKE A WHOLE DAY WE SPENT IN HUTTO WHERE, WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A DEAD TOWN ON THE WEEKENDS. AND THAT'S WHY WE KIND OF OPTIMIZED THIS LAND TO HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL AS A PART OF THIS WHOLE UNIT IN THAT WAY WEAKENS. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A GHOST TOWN. RIGHT. SO I THINK I THINK END OF THE DAY, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. LIKE, WHAT DO YOU GUYS SEE? YOU KNOW THERE. RIGHT. YOU YOU YOU NEED TO CREATE A WISH LIST IN TERMS OF OKAY, WHAT WHAT IS THAT? WE WANT TO SEE. AND THEN PROBABLY WE CAN INCORPORATE THAT HERE. RIGHT. WE JUST WANT TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY IN THIS PROJECT.
I MEAN, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE IT A SIGNATURE PROJECT FOR US. LIKE, YOU KNOW, ME AND MY PARTNERS LIKE SANTOSH AND VENKAT, LIKE WHO ARE NOT HERE. THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME HERE IN
[00:40:02]
SCOUTING ALL THESE PROPERTIES, YOU KNOW, PICKING THIS NICE CENTRAL LOCATION, I THINK. I THINK WE, WE CAN MAKE IT AS A SIGNATURE PROJECT FOR MINA AND, AND WE DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THAT IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS OR NOT, THEN IT IS A PRESENTATION TEAM. SO WE CAN GET THOSE QUESTIONS BACK TO YOU ALL. SO I KNOW Y'ALL ARE GOING TO COME BACK IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THAT. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALMOST AT EIGHT. SO OKAY, GREAT. YEAH, I PROBABLY TOOK TOO MUCH TIME, BUT NO NO NO NO. WE'RE ALL PERFECT. WE'RE ALL SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT COULD BE JUST A LEGACY PROJECT FOR ALL OF US. YEAH, NO, YOU DIDN'T TAKE TOO MUCH TIME. YOU Y'ALL DID PERFECT. WE NEEDED THAT PRESENTATION LIKE THAT. SO THANK YOU ALL. SO I THINK THANK YOU ALL. AND PAUL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU KNOW GIVING THE PRESENTATION. AND ACTUALLY I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. I'M ONE OF THE PARTNERS AT SHENANDOAH DEVELOPMENT GROUP. ME AND TWO OF MY OTHER PARTNERS, SANTOSH AND VENKAT. THEY ARE IN NEW JERSEY. THEY REALLY WANTED TO COME TO THIS EVENT. UNFORTUNATELY, PRIOR COMMITMENTS, THEY COULDN'T MAKE IT, BUT YOU KNOW, THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR ACTUALLY HAVING US HERE THIS EVENING. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO WE'LL KEEP MOVING ON WITH OUR AGENDA. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. WE'LL MOVE ON TO EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. I'M SORRY. WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION. NOT YET. ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE DOING THINGS THAT WE SHOULD WITH THE COMMUNITY FOR US, WITH THE SENIORS. AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THE BEST THING IS, LAST I DIDN'T INCLUDE MAINER BECAUSE I WAS WAITING FOR FEBRUARY FOR BLACK HISTORY IN THIS EVENT. BUT WE HAVE JEFF GERVAIS AND HE SUPPORTED THIS THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON. HE DID, AND TRAVIS COUNTY PRECINCT ONE. SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE THANKS TO THEM. AND I SAY THE IT'S FOR THE COMMUNITY, BUT IT'S REALLY FOR THE HOMELESS AND THE SENIORS THAT CANNOT GET OUT. SO WE'LL BE COOKING TONIGHT, TOMORROW UP INTO FRIDAY MORNING. SO YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY COME OUT. SO I DID PUT IT ON MAINER COMMUNITY CIRCLE OKAY. SO I'M JUST DOING AN INVITE TONIGHT FOR THANKSGIVING PRE-THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON FROM MANNA HERITAGE SOCIETY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.THANK YOU ALL. ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE CITY COUNCIL NOW. MOVE FORWARD TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.
[CONSENT AGENDA]
ALL THE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SELF-EXPLANATORY BY COUNCIL AND WILL BE ENACTED WITH ONE MOTION. THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION ON ITEMS UNLESS REQUESTED BY THE MAYOR OR A COUNCIL MEMBER, IN WHICH THE ITEMS WILL BE REMOVED. FOR COUNCIL FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND CONSIDERED SEPARATELY. NUMBER ONE CONSIDERATION.DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON ACCEPTING THE OCTOBER 2024 CITY COUNCIL MONTHLY REPORTS TWO.
CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ACCEPTING THE OCTOBER 2024 DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR? MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS READ. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCIL MEMBER. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION OR IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. SECOND. BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NOT ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSE MOTION PASSES. REGULAR AGENDA.
[REGULAR AGENDA]
NOW CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON ACCEPTANCE OF MAINERS DOWNTOWN. STRATEGIC PLAN BY CALLIDUS COMMERCIAL. OKAY, MR. JONES. OKAY. THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR. MAYOR, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, WE'D LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER THE DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLAN, AND WE'D ASK YOU TO ACCEPT OR RECOMMEND THAT YOU ACCEPT THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND APPROVE IT FOR PASSAGE TONIGHT. AND IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PLAN, WE HAVE JASON CLAUNCH AND THE OTHER CONSULTANTS HERE. AND Y'ALL CAN ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO, OR YOU CAN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. FURTHER, YOU CAN CONSIDER THAT AND GET BACK TO ME. AND THEN WE CAN ASK THE CONSULTANTS ON THAT LATER. BUT WE WOULD IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON IT, WE WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE PLAN AS WRITTEN. I HAVE ONE QUESTION. YES, MA'AM.YES, MA'AM. WITH THIS STRATEGIC PLAN IN CERTAIN PLACES THAT WE HAVE, BEING THAT IT'S A HISTORICAL DISTRICT AND CERTAIN PLACES WHERE WE HAVE BUILDINGS THAT MAY NOT BE THERE ANYMORE, ARE WE GOING TO PLACE MARKERS THERE OR SOME KIND OF SIGNAGE STATING THAT THAT WAS A HISTORICAL SITE? YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT DESIGNATED AS HISTORICAL SITES. IT WILL DEPEND ON THE LANDOWNER. ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, THE CITY COULD COULD DO A PROGRAM LIKE THAT. WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A PROGRAM LIKE THAT. CAN YOU NOT HEAR? OKAY, THE CITY DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE
[00:55:05]
A PROGRAM LIKE THAT, BUT WE COULD PUT IN PLACE A PROGRAM IF WE WERE TO IDENTIFY THOSE SITES WHERE THOSE BUILDINGS WERE ERECTED. BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT NOW, IT'S CURRENTLY UP TO THE LANDOWNER TO IDENTIFY A HISTORICAL SITE. AND FOR INSTANCE, THE BLOWER HOUSE. IF THE BLOWER HOUSE, IF THE OWNER DIDN'T HAVE THAT. IF THEY HADN'T GONE TO THE TEXAS HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND HAVE THAT DESIGNATED AS A HISTORICAL BUILDING, THEN IT WOULDN'T BE AND YOU COULD DO ANYTHING WITH IT. BUT SINCE THEY HAVE, IT'S PROTECTED BY BY THE STATE. AND SO IT'S UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL LANDOWNER TO DO THAT. BUT THE CITY COULD, YOU KNOW, PUT IN PLACE A PROGRAM. AND SO, YEAH, I WOULD TAKE THAT UNDER RECOMMENDATION IF YOU WANTED TO. I DON'T HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE I HAVEN'T LIVED HERE THAT LONG. BUT IF YOU ALL, AS A COUNCIL WANTED TO PUT THAT PROGRAM TOGETHER AND YOU COULD PUT A HISTORICAL PLAQUE OR SOMETHING ON THE SIDEWALK OR DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR A SIGNAGE IN THE IN THE FRONT OF THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO IF SOMETHING IS BUILT ON IT LATER, THEN YOU ALWAYS HAVE THAT REMEMBRANCE THAT THAT BUILDING WAS THERE OR WHAT THAT PROPERTY USE WAS IN YOU KNOW, LATER TIMES. AND WE PROBABLY FIRST NEED TO START WITH WHY DEFINING THE WORD HISTORIC IN OUR DOCUMENTS? BECAUSE, WELL, THERE IS NONE, RIGHT? YEAH. THERE IS NOTHING THAT'S TECHNICALLY HISTORIC. IT'S MORE SO HISTORIC DOWNTOWN, MEANING THIS IS THE DOWNTOWN THAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN DOWNTOWN. NOT NECESSARILY LIKE WE HAVE A LOT OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.YEAH. THE ORDINANCE AS WRITTEN RIGHT NOW, JUST DEFINES A HISTORIC DISTRICT. AND IT'S JUST THE BOUNDARIES OF AN AREA. IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY, ANY, ANY MEANING ATTACHED TO IT.
THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATIO. YEAH. OTHER QUESTIONS. WE ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS OR EMOTION.
I WOULD SAY COUNCIL I WOULD LIKE TO AGAIN THANK SCOTT JONES AND JASON AND HIS TEAM FOR THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS ON THE ON THE CHECKLIST FOR US TO DO. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE AS WE AS 2024 COMES TO AN END, PEOPLE GOT TO REALIZE EVERYTHING WE DO IS, IS TIMELY AND THE THINGS IT'S NOT A QUICK TURNAROUND. BUT ONCE OUR OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS ARE ABLE TO PUT THOUGHT AND THINGS IN PLACE FOR US, IT'S FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE THAT WE ARE DOING SOMETHING. AND THE GOAL IS, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD A PRESENTATION FOR A NEW FUTURE TOWN SQUARE, WE STILL HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW WE GROW AND WHAT'S LANDS AVAILABLE TO US TO GROW AS A COMMUNITY. SO WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THIS PART OF TOWN OR PEOPLE THINK WE'RE ABANDONING IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE TO DO THESE PARTICULAR STUDIES TO GET A GENERAL IDEA OF HOW INVESTMENTS CAN COME WHEN THE TIMING IS RIGHT, AND SO WITHOUT THE PLAN, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FULLY EXECUTE WHAT THE VISION IS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PART OF TOWN. SO ANYTHING ELSE THAT COMES FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, IT'S GOT TO BE TIED BACK TO A PLAN OR VISION THAT THE COUNCIL HAS ADOPTED. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE NOT THINKING WE'RE DOING THINGS WITHOUT THE SHOTGUN APPROACH.
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE LASER FOCUSED. IF THIS IS THE FOCUS FOR DOWNTOWN, HISTORIC DOWNTOWN, THIS IS THE FOCUS BECAUSE IT'S LANDLOCKED AND THE GOAL IS NEVER TO DISPLACE FAMILIES OR TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. BUT THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN YOUR HOME IN DOWNTOWN MAYNARD, THAT'S THE GOAL. BUT IF PEOPLE WANT TO COME IN AND DOWNSIZE AND GO TO ANOTHER PLACE, WE WANT TO HAVE THOSE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO, TO THE COMMUNITY. AND SO WE THANK ALL OUR CONSULTANTS FOR LISTENING TO US, LISTEN TO US, LISTENING TO YOU. SO THAT WAY WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING TO PUT A PRESENTATION BEFORE YOU, IT'S WELL THOUGHT OUT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T MISS ANYTHING. AND IF WE DO, THE QUESTIONS COULD BE ASKED LATER AND THEN WE CAN MAKE SURE WE CAN CIRCLE BACK BEFORE WE START SPENDING PUBLIC MONEY. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET A GOOD RETURN ON THE MONEY THAT WE SPEND IN THOSE AREAS THAT WE FEEL ARE CRITICAL FOR THE GROWTH OF THAT AREA. AND THIS STRATEGIC PLAN IS JUST A STARTING POINT.
YOU HAD TO FIRST IDENTIFY WHAT THE ISSUES WERE WITH DOWNTOWN. AND SO THERE ARE 50 RECOMMENDATIONS IN THAT STRATEGIC PLAN WITH WHAT WE NEED TO DO. SO IT'S JUST THE BASIS FOR WHERE WE GO FROM HERE. SO WE'LL START WORKING AS Y'ALL SEE FIT. WE'LL START WORKING ON THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND START IMPLEMENTING. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF LOT OF, YOU KNOW, ZONING ISSUES. THERE'S A LOT OF PLANNING ISSUES, A LOT OF ARCHITECTURAL ISSUES, A LOT OF LOT OF RECOMMENDATIONS IN THERE. YOU KNOW, FORM AND, YOU KNOW, ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO START WORKING ON. SO THOSE, THOSE STAFF WILL HAVE TO RECOMMEND THOSE ISSUES TO YOU.
[01:00:02]
THERE'LL BE OTHER PLANNING THAT WE HAVE TO YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO BE PERFORMED FOR DOWNTOWN.THERE'LL BE DRAINAGE STUDIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THERE'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED. YEAH. OTHER QUESTIONS. YES, MA'AM. ONE QUESTION I HAVE WAS JUST CONFIRMING THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A TOURIST. I TO IMPLEMENT. AND THEN I GUESS, GOING ON WHAT YOU WERE SAYING ALSO AFTER TODAY, IF THIS IS APPROVED, AS IS, THEN WE'RE IN THE PROCESS.
DO WE GO FROM HERE FROM THE PRESENTATION? IS THAT ARE WE AT THE IMPLEMENTATION STAGE OF STEP FIVE AND OR SOMEWHERE EARLIER ON? AND IF THERE'S A WOULD THERE BE LIKE A PROJECT I GUESS TIMELINE TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE WHERE WE ARE WHEN, WHEN YOU'RE GOING WITH, I GUESS, MEETING WITH CITY STAFF AND THEN GOING FROM THERE. YEAH. I THINK YOU KNOW, JASON, YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ALSO. BUT YES, THERE WILL BE A TOURS AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE. WE'RE WORKING WITH WITH CATALYST RIGHT NOW. WE HAD A CALL TODAY AS A MATTER OF FACT ON THE TOURS. SO THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING THAT TOGETHER AND BRINGING THAT TO YOU ALL FOR IMPLEMENTATION HAS TO GO THROUGH LEGAL ALSO. IT HAS TO BE PUBLIC HEARING AND ALL THAT. SO WE'D BE PUTTING THAT TOGETHER. THE BOUNDARIES OF THE TOURS WE WENT OVER TODAY IN THE CALL AND THE PROPERTIES AND THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. SETTING THE BASELINE FOR THE TOURS AND ALL THAT SO THAT VEHICLE IS TO ESTABLISH A FUND FOR DOING THE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND STUFF THAT'S GOING TO BE NEEDED FOR DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT. AND SO YEAH, I THINK, YEAH, YES, THE IMPLEMENTATION WE NEED TO WE NEED TO SET FORTH A PLAN. I CAN WORK WITH JASON ON THAT SETTING FORTH A PLAN FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE STEPS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN. SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE, YOU'RE ASKING. YEAH, THAT'S THE NEXT STEP IS TO SET FORTH A PLAN FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION SO I CAN WORK WITH HIM ON THAT. AND THE IMPLEMENTATION WOULD DEVELOP THE TIMELINE THAT WE COULD SEE. YES. THANK YOU. SCOTT HAD MENTIONED ONE ONE. I JUST WANT TO SAY TO COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR INPUT ON THIS PLAN. I WANT TO CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE THAT MANY OF YOU, MOST OF YOU HAD SIGNIFICANT INPUT IN THIS PROCESS, SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. WE'LL HAVE A PROJECT AND FINANCING PLAN AS PART OF THE TIF FOR THE TOURS, AND THAT'LL HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC SORT OF LIST OF ITEMS AND, AND, AND SEQUENCES. AND SO THAT'LL PROBABLY BE THE, THE PIECE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. THANK YOU.
YOU GOT TO COME BACK AND SAY YOUR NAME. JASON CLONCH CATALYST COMMERCIAL 3838 OAK LAWN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. I'LL TAKE A MOTION. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE MAYNARD'S DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLAN BY CATALYST COMMERCIAL DIRECT AND DIRECT THE CONSULTANT TO COMPLETE THE DOWNTOWN TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE BEING DEVELOPED TO SPUR INFRASTRUCTURE REVITALIZATION IN DOWNTOWN BY THE CITY. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN MCCOY. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE. I'M SORRY, I KEEP SAYING THAT. JUMPING AHEAD. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MORENO, ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION. JUST WANT TO SAY AGAIN GOOD WORK. MR. MAURICE JONES AND CITY STAFF AND GUESTS PLANNERS. WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL AGAIN DIVING INTO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND OUR NEEDS AND CONNECTING THE CONCEPTS FROM THERE AND WORKING TOWARDS THIS DOWNTOWN THING. SO I MEAN, THIS WAS A CONVERSATION THAT I KNOW TOOK PLACE PRIOR TO ME GETTING ON COUNCIL, AND IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT THERE'S ACTION IN THE STEPS MOVING FORWARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WHERE WE NEED TO BE. SO THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR YOUR HARD WORK. AND ANOTHER GREAT THING ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN MAYNARD. SO APPRECIATE YOU ALL. GLAD TO BE PART OF IT. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION ON POSSIBLE ACTION TO REQUEST TO REMOVE TWO HERITAGE TREES IN THE BOYCE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT SITE, LOCATED ONE ON
[01:05:08]
ONE BOYD STREET, MAYNARD, TEXAS. MR. BURRELL. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR HARVEY. COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS MICHAEL BURRELL, INTERIM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD. SO THIS ITEM IS, AS IT STATES, A REQUEST TO REMOVE TWO HERITAGE TREES FROM THE PROPERTY. THAT'S ACTUALLY JUST RIGHT OVER HERE ACROSS THE STREET FROM US AT 101, 104, 107, 108 THAT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ON WEST BOYCE. NOW I DO WANT TO CLARIFY THEY ARE HERITAGE TREES NOT BASED ON SPECIES, BUT BASED ON SIZE PER OUR CODE, ANYTHING OVER 25IN THAT DIAMETER BREAST HEIGHT FALLS UNDER THAT DESIGNATION. NOW, THE REASON THESE TREES ARE BEING REQUESTED TO BE REMOVED IS BECAUSE OF THE CONFIGURATION OF THE SITE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THE LAYOUTS FROM PREVIOUSLY WHEN THEY HAD THEIR 380 AGREEMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, BUT THEY HAVE THE ONE LARGER BUILDING ON 104 TO 107, 108. AND ON THAT SITE, THE TREES IN QUESTION ARE ESSENTIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR ENTRANCE FOR ONE OF THEIR DRIVEWAYS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR DRIVE AISLE. SO TO ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE USAGE OF THE SITE, THEY'RE REQUESTING THESE TREES BE REMOVED THROUGH A FEE IN LIEU, WHICH WAS ALSO THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. NOW THE FEE IN LIEU, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR, WHICH I'M CERTAIN YOU ALL ARE, IS ESSENTIALLY A FEE THAT YOU DECIDE WHICH WILL GO TO OUR TREE REPLACEMENT FUND TO ESSENTIALLY PLANT TREES WHERE WE SEE FIT OR WHERE WE THINK ARE NEEDED. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? NO, MICHAEL. THERE ALSO WILL BE TREES PLANTED ON THEIR SITE AS WELL. YES, PER THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE TREES AND LANDSCAPING FOR THEIR SITE WILL BE PLANTED ALONG THE ALLOWABLE RIGHT OF WAY. THEY CAN'T PLANT IT ALONG LEXINGTON BECAUSE THAT'S NOT OURS, BUT THEY WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL TREES PLANTED ALL AROUND THE SITE, AS WELL AS SHRUBS AND OTHER STREETSCAPING.THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO SAY, BEFORE WE ATTEMPT TO MAKE A MOTION AND PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS, YOU DO HAVE TO DECIDE ON THE FEE THAT'S COMPLETELY DISCRETIONARY AND UP TO YOU. I WANTED TO SAY THAT ON TYPICALLY ON THIS TYPE OF REMOVAL THAT IN DEVELOPMENTS PAST I'VE SEEN THESE FEES IN LIEU. TYPICALLY YOU GET CREDIT FOR THE NEW TREES THAT ARE PUT ON PLACED ON SITE. SO HOWEVER MANY CALIPER INCHES THAT THEY ARE INSTALLING ON SITE, THEY'LL GET A CREDIT FOR THAT MANY CALIPER INCHES AGAINST WHAT HAS BEEN REMOVED. AND THEN TYPICALLY THERE IS A FEE PER INCH FOR. SO IF THEY'RE REMOVING, SAY, 50 CALIPER INCHES AND THEY GET A CREDIT FOR TEN, THEN THERE'S 40 NET INCHES LOST. AND SO THEN YOU CAN'T PLANT A 40 INCH TREE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST. SO YOU HAVE TO SAY YOU GOT TO PLANT TEN FOUR INCH TREES AND THOSE TEN FOUR INCH TREES. IF THEY CAN'T BE PLANTED ON THAT SITE, YOU'LL TYPICALLY A CITY WILL PLANT THEM IN A PUBLIC PARK OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO THEY'LL ASSESS THAT DEVELOPER, WHATEVER THOSE COST OF THOSE TEN FOUR INCH TREES IS.
AND SO IF FOUR INCH TREES COST $100, OR A FOUR INCH TREE COST $200, TYPICALLY IN THIS MARKET, THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, 40 TO $50 AN INCH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO THAT'S THE TYPICAL ASSESSMENT THAT THEY'LL ASSESS FOR THE NUMBER OF INCHES THAT ARE LOST. SO THAT'S JUST A GUIDELINE. AND IT DEPENDS ON THE MARKET. BUT YOU KNOW I'VE LOOKED I'VE LOOKED AT THIS MARKET. I BOUGHT SOME TREES JUST RECENTLY FROM MY OWN HOME. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE MARKET. IT'S USUALLY $4,050 AN INCH IN TODAY'S MARKET. SO IT CAN CHANGE OF COURSE. AND THEN YOU GOT A LITTLE BIT OF PLANNING COST. SO. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS. I'M READY. MANY MORE OR I GUESS YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER. BUT THERE ARE DEFINITELY TREES THAT ARE UNDER 25FT THAT ARE STILL THAT WILL REMAIN ON THE PROPERTY. THIS IS JUST THE TWO BECAUSE THEY'RE LARGER AND IMPOSING ON THE STRUCTURES.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE BEING REMOVED. YES, MA'AM. THEY'RE BEING REMOVED SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THEIR LOCATION. ADDITIONALLY, I'M WAITING ON SOME DOCUMENTATION FROM THEIR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, BUT TREE NUMBER 29, WHICH IS THE 27.5IN I BELIEVE, IS SPECULATED TO BE IN POOR HEALTH. SO IF THEY CAN PROVIDE THAT, THAT'S ALSO AN ADDITIONAL REASON AS TO WHY THAT TREE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED, BECAUSE IT'S DYING ANYWAYS. BUT THE TWO IN QUESTION THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED TO BE REMOVED ARE PRIMARILY BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO LARGE TO BE REMOVED WITHOUT PERMISSION. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THEY HAVE A 28 TREES ON SITE. THERE IS A LANDSCAPE PLAN INCLUDED IN YOUR BACKUP. I APOLOGIZE, I DON'T HAVE THAT MEMORIZED, BUT THEY ARE PLANTING
[01:10:04]
TREES THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMEN. IS THERE A WAY FOR THESE HERITAGE TREES? IS THERE AN APPROXIMATE DIAMETER AND INCHES THAT THEY ARE? SO ONE OF THEM IS 27.5IN. THE OTHER ONE, I BELIEVE IS 3038. BUT IT'S A DOUBLE TRUNK. THAT'S WHY IT'S SO LARGE. AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT PLANNING AND ZONING HAD A VERY HARD TIME APPROVING THIS, BECAUSE MOST OF THEM HAVE A LOVE FOR TREES, AND SO THEY HAD A PROBLEM APPROVING THIS. BUT BECAUSE OF THE SITE LAYOUT AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT THEIR ULTIMATE BUILD, THEY WENT AHEAD AND APPROVED IT. ALSO TAKING UNDER CONSIDERATION THAT ONE OF THE TREES MIGHT NOT BE VIABLE ANYWAY. OKAY, OTHER QUESTIONS.I. WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION AND OUR MOTION LANGUAGE. ARE WE ABLE TO APPOINT CITY STAFF TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION OF THE VALUATION? OR DO WE NEED TO HAVE DISCUSSION ON ON THOSE THE MITIGATED INJURIES. NOW VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY YOU CAN DIRECT CITY STAFF, BUT AS PART OF YOUR MOTION, YOU DO NEED TO DETERMINE IF YOU'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE PLANNING AND ZONING RECOMMENDATION. AND IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT, THEN WE DO NEED A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE, WHICH WOULD BE FIVE FIVE OF YOU. YOU CAN ADD ANYTHING ELSE. AND THAT WOULD REQUIRE A SUPERMAJORITY. BUT THE MOTION MADE BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, AS COUNCIL MEMBER WALLACE WAS SAYING, WAS DIFFICULT FOR THEM. AND WHAT THEY ENDED UP SAYING WAS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO APPROVE IT WITH THE CONDITION THAT THEY DO PAY A FEE IN LIEU, AND THAT AND NOT BE A COMBINATION OF LIKE TREE PLANTING AND FEE IN LIEU OR OR JUST APPROVAL AND TREE PLANTING. SO THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE P AND Z TO CITY COUNCIL. AND THAT WAS THE THAT WAS THEIR MOTION. SO APPROVE WITH FEE IN LIEU. BUT YEAH SO THEY CAN WE CAN MAKE A WE CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION NOW OR WHAT. THE FEE IN LIEU IS OR WE CAN WE CAN CHOOSE A DESIGNATE THAT TO. YES OKAY. YES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE Y'ALL KNOW YOUR OPTIONS OKAY. IF I MAY JUST TO CLARIFY THE COMBINATION OF FEE IN LIEU AND TREE PLANTING ONLY PERTAINS TO THE CALIPER INCHES OF THE TREES IN QUESTION. THEY STILL HAVE TO PLANT TREES PER THEIR LANDSCAPING PLAN JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR. YEAH, I FELT THAT COMING. ALL RIGHT. OTHER QUESTIONS. I WILL TAKE A MOTION. TO. YES, MA'AM. MAYOR. COUNCIL.

IN OUR REVIEW OF OUR TOWING AND STORAGE ORDINANCE, WE FOUND A DISCREPANCY IN STATE LAW AND SO WE'RE HERE TO CORRECT THAT.
TONIGHT. ESSENTIALLY, WHAT THE DISCREPANCY WAS, WAS THAT THE WAY OUR ORDINANCE READ WAS THAT WE WERE TO START ISSUING A FEE. THE AT THE TIME WE COLLECTED THE EVIDENTIARY VEHICLE AND STORED IT. STATE LAW DICTATES THAT THAT FEE SHOULD NOT BE ASSESSED UNTIL IT IS BEEN RELEASED FROM EVIDENTIARY PURPOSES, FROM THE COURT OR LEGAL JURISDICTION OVER THAT CASE. SO WE HAVE TO AMEND THE WAY THE ORDINANCE READS, STATING THAT WHEN WE ARE NOTIFIED THAT THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER OF EVIDENTIARY VALUE IN THE CASE, WE CAN THEN START ASSESSING THE DAILY FEE.
YES, SIR. QUESTION COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. TAKE A MOTION.
