          [A. Avelyn Manor]
TONIGHT WITH OUR PRESENTATIONS. ITEM A AVALON, AVALON MANOR. WONDERFUL. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. WE'VE GOT. GOOD. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. HOW ARE YOU, DOCTOR HARVEY? DOING WELL. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US. SO WE WILL INTRODUCE OURSELVES AND THEN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT. SO MY NAME IS ANNA WRIGHT AND I AM THE SENIOR REGIONAL MANAGER THAT SUPPORTS AVALON MANOR. AND THIS IS MEGAN WHO IS OUR COMMUNITY MANAGER. SO SHE IS BOOTS ON THE GROUND AT AVALON MANOR. SO GOOD TO SEE SOME OF YOU THAT WE SAW AT OUR RECENT OPEN HOUSE. BUT JUST TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT, FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, AVALON MANOR IS A BRAND NEW APARTMENT COMMUNITY THAT JUST OPENED JUST A COUPLE MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD, AND WE ARE REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE IT IS THE FIRST COMMUNITY IN MANOR TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY OF MANOR AS A PUBLIC HOUSING ORGANIZATION, AND SO WE HAVE MARKET UNITS, BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE HALF OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S DEDICATED TO OFFERING APARTMENTS THAT MAKE SENSE FROM AN ECONOMICAL STANDPOINT. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT PARTNERING WITH THE CITY OF MANOR. WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM IN PLACE. I'LL LET MEGAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER TEAM, AND THEN WE'LL JUST TALK THROUGH A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE PROPERTY. WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION, BUT FOR SOME REASON WE CAN'T GET IT OPEN, SO WE WILL SEND IT OUT AFTER THE FACT AS WELL. 
          WONDERFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, MY NAME IS MEGAN. I'M THE COMMUNITY MANAGER AT AVALON. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF JOINING THE COMMUNITY IN LATE AUGUST. WE'RE ANTICIPATING CONSTRUCTION BEING WRAPPED UP IN MARCH AND WE HAVE A FANTASTIC TEAM WITH US, PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE AND REALLY SUPPORTING BOTH OUR RESIDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY. WE'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY GET OUT AND MEET SOME OF Y'ALL AND JUST REALLY IMMERSED IN THE COMMUNITY. SO AS PART OF OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH CITY OF MANOR AND THE HOUSING PROGRAM, AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE 50% OF THE PROPERTY DEDICATED TO WELL-APPOINTED LIVING SPACES THAT ARE AT GOOD ECONOMICAL RENTAL RATES. SO WE PARTNERED WITH OUR OWNERSHIP GROUP RECENTLY BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A STIGMA AROUND THE WORLD. AFFORDABLE WHEN IT COMES TO HOUSING. PEOPLE ALWAYS THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO BE IN THESE QUESTIONABLE AREAS OR, YOU KNOW, NOT THE BEST PRODUCT. AND THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT WHAT WE FEATURE AT AVALON MANOR AND NOT WHAT WE WANT TO PRESENT. SO WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO REBRAND AND CHANGE THAT STRATEGY. SO WE NO LONGER 
          [00:05:01]
PROMOTE THAT WE HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WE PROMOTE THAT WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED THE AVALON ADVANTAGE PROGRAM. AND WHAT WE HAVE DECIDED IS THAT MEANS ELEVATED LIVING BUT WITHIN REACH. AND SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO CONTINUE TO PARTNER, TO CHANGE THAT STIGMA AROUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND OFFER BRAND NEW LUXURY APARTMENTS AT PRICING THAT MAKES SENSE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO WE HAVE ONE, TWO AND THREE BEDROOMS AT THE PROPERTY, AND WE HAVE SPECIFIC RENTAL RATES JUST FOR THESE UNITS AND THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE PROGRAM. LOTS OF PEOPLE THINK, OH MY GOODNESS, AFFORDABLE. IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE TAX CREDIT, WHERE I HAVE TO FILL OUT 30 DIFFERENT PIECES OF PAPERWORK AND PROVIDE A BLOOD SAMPLE AND ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY. AND THAT IS NOT THE CASE. WE HAVE A VERY SIMPLE PROCESS. IT'S ONE ADDITIONAL PIECE OF PAPERWORK THAT SOMEONE HAS TO FILL OUT. THEY PROVIDE THEIR SAME PROOF OF INCOME JUST AS THEY WOULD FOR ANY OTHER REGULAR APARTMENT. BUT THEN IF THEY QUALIFY, THEN THEY GET THESE REDUCED RATES, WHICH WILL REALLY HELP EASE THE BURDEN IN THEIR HOUSEHOLD. AND SO WE ARE REALLY EXCITED TO HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO BRING IN AS MUCH CITY EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS PEOPLE FROM SURROUNDING CITIES, BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF IMMEDIATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE AREA. AND SO WE'RE REALLY REACHING OUT TO PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE SUPPORT THE TEACHERS? HOW CAN WE SUPPORT ALL OTHER CITY OF MANOR OFFICIALS? WE MET WITH CHIEF OF POLICE JUST RECENTLY. HOW CAN WE SUPPORT THE OFFICERS AS WELL AND TRY TO DRIVE AS MANY FOLKS INTO THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE LOOKING FOR THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THE INCOME? YOU KNOW, THERE ARE INCOME LIMITS, BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE REASONABLE. AND SO MOST OF THAT DEMOGRAPHIC THAT WE'RE TRYING TO APPEAL TO WILL FALL WITHIN THOSE AND CAN GET A BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS HOME IN A GREAT COMMUNITY FOR A REALLY SIMPLE PROCESS. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. THE PROPERTY, LIKE WE MENTIONED, IS BRAND NEW. WE'VE GOT A GREAT AMENITY PACKAGE, SO IF SOMEONE LIVES AT THE PROPERTY, THEY'LL HAVE FULL ACCESS TO AN AMAZING FITNESS CENTER THAT'S OPEN 24 HOURS. IT'S MASSIVE. IT HAS ALL KINDS OF EQUIPMENT. I KNOW MISS WALLACE WAS THERE WITH US, AND WE WERE MAKING JOKES ABOUT SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT OF HOW WE COULD EVEN JUMP ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS. AND SO ACCESS TO THAT, A STUNNING SWIMMING POOL WHEN IT'S NOT RAINING AND GROSS. WE WILL HAVE LOTS OF OUTDOOR SPACES, LOTS OF FAMILY FRIENDLY SPACES THAT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT OPENING UP AND SHARING WITH THE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIORS OF THE APARTMENTS ARE JUST STUNNING. 
          YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, QUARTZ COUNTERS, BEAUTIFUL ELEGANT CABINETRY, HARDWOOD FLOORS, ALL THE PERKS AND WHISTLES, BUT AT AFFORDABLE RATES, WHICH WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT. WE ALSO, AS MEGAN MENTIONED, ARE REALLY PARTNERING WITH THE COMMUNITY. SO WE HAVE A VERY STRONG RESIDENT REFERRAL PROGRAM THAT WE'RE PROMOTING. SO AS PEOPLE MOVE IN, IF THEY WERE FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO LIVE AT THE COMMUNITY, NOT ONLY DO THEY GET AN INCENTIVE, BUT THEN THEIR PERSON THAT THEY REFERRED GIVES GETS AN INCENTIVE. SO WE CALL IT A GIVE AND GET PROGRAM. AND IN ORDER TO TRY TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO REFER PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE WANT PEOPLE THAT ARE REFERRING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEN HOPEFULLY THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOOD RESIDENTS AND GOOD STEWARDS OF THE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO OFFER A PREFERRED EMPLOYER PROGRAM. SO STRETCHING JUST BEYOND CITY OF MANER, WE'RE ALSO PARTNERING WITH TESLA AND SAMSUNG AND APPLIED MATERIALS TO TRY TO DRIVE SOME OF THOSE FOLKS HERE AS WELL, ALONG WITH AMAZON AND DELL. THEY'LL GET A SMALL LITTLE RENT DISCOUNT AS WELL, IN HOPES OF JUST KIND OF BROADENING OUR HORIZONS AND BUILDING OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL. OH, GOODNESS. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER PIECE OF OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT TO US, AS WELL AS OUR OWNERSHIP GROUP, IS REALLY IMMERSING OURSELVES AND BEING A PART OF THE COMMUNITY. SO MEGAN AND HER TEAM HAVE ALREADY JUST KIND OF HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. MEGAN AND HER TEAM HAVE VISITED SEVERAL OF THE SCHOOLS. WE'VE TAKEN TACOS AND BREAKFAST TO THE TEACHERS A COUPLE TIMES. WE'RE SIGNED UP TO SPONSOR SEVERAL IN-SERVICE LUNCHEONS AND EVENTS. IN 2026, WE DELIVERED A GOODNESS PROBABLY 50 BREAKFAST TACOS TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND THEN JUST TODAY, WE DELIVERED TWO LARGE RAFFLE ITEMS FOR THEIR FIREFIGHTERS, LIKE CELEBRATION LUNCH OR DINNER THAT THEY'RE DOING NEXT WEEK. THOSE WILL BE RAFFLED OFF. WE VISITED THE POLICE STATIONS. WE'VE JUST TRIED TO REALLY IMMERSE OURSELVES IN EVERYTHING MANER SO THAT PEOPLE WILL BE FAMILIAR, AND THEY KNOW THAT WE HAVE A COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING THE CITY AS WELL AS THE BUSINESSES IN THE CITY AS WELL. 
          LET'S SEE. AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE'RE JUST REALLY EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS. 
          MANER HOLDS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. I GREW UP IN PFLUGERVILLE, BUT MY MOM WORKED IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND WORKED AT ONE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH CLINICS AND MANER AS A NURSING SUPERVISOR FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS. SO WHEN, WHEN I WAS A KID, THERE WAS NONE OF THIS. IT WAS IT WAS FARMS AND COWS, BUT REALLY EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS, REALLY EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY AND HELP SUPPORT THE GROWTH AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF OF MANER. 
          [00:10:04]
WITH THAT, WE DO HAVE SOME BROCHURES ON THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS SOME BUSINESS CARDS, SO WE WILL LEAVE THOSE IN THE BACK, AND WE ALSO WILL LEAVE A LITTLE SHEET FOR IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST INFORMATION OR SCHEDULE A TOUR, WE WILL HAVE THAT. AND MEGAN AND HER TEAM WILL CONTACT YOU AND SET THAT UP, BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY. I KNOW MOST OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR FACES ALREADY, BUT THE DOG PARK AND THE DOG WASH DOG PARK. THE LANDSCAPING IS COMPLETELY FINISHED. WE ACTUALLY JUST ORDERED A REALLY FUN AGILITY EQUIPMENT PACKAGE FOR THE DOG PARK, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE THINGS YOU CAN CRAWL ON, NOT YOU OR I, BUT THE FURRY FRIENDS. THINGS YOU CAN JUMP ON, CRAWL ON, AND THEN THE DOG WASH IS RIGHT OUT FRONT OF THAT. ALSO, SINCE YOU WERE LAST THERE, MISS WALLACE, OUR AMAZON LOCKERS ARE IN, SO THOSE ARE ALL INSTALLED. POOL HAS BEEN FULLY TURNED OVER AS WELL AS OUR OUTDOOR AREA BEHIND THAT, THAT I DON'T THINK YOU GOT TO SEE LAST TIME WHERE THE FIRE PITS ARE AND THEN OUTDOOR GAMING. AND THEN WE HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL AMENITY AREA THAT'S IN THE BACK PART OF THE PROPERTY THAT'LL BE DELIVERED. CALL IT LATE FEBRUARY, MARCH. AND THEN WE'VE ALSO DECIDED ON THE TWO GAMES THAT ARE GOING TO GO IN THE ARCADE. SO THOSE ARE BEING ORDERED. SO THAT WILL BE ANOTHER FUN SPACE INSIDE. AND THEN MORE OF THOSE OUTDOOR AMENITIES HAVE DELIVERED AS WELL. SOME OTHER QUESTIONS. COMMENTS COUNCIL MEMBERS. HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY POSITIVE OR ANY POSITIVE OR CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GOING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY? YEAH, IT'S BEEN VERY WELL RECEIVED. IT'S BEEN PHENOMENAL GETTING OUT AND JUST GETTING TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY. OF COURSE, LIKE WE'RE WE'RE COMING BY WITH SWEET TREATS, THE SMILES ON OUR FACE AND REALLY JUST GETTING TO KNOW EVERYBODY. I THINK THAT'S KIND OF THE JOY OF FIRST STARTING AT COMMUNITY. WE'VE GOT A BRAND NEW TEAM, BRAND NEW SHINY PRODUCT AND REALLY JUST PUTTING OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD, MAKING THOSE GENUINE CONNECTIONS AND GETTING TO KNOW EVERYBODY A LITTLE BIT BETTER. SO IT'S BEEN RECEIVED WELL AND WE'RE EXCITED TO CONTINUE GROWING THAT. WE ALSO GOT AN OPPORTUNITY AT THIS PAST MONDAY TO MEET WITH ASHLYN AND STEPHANIE, WHO ARE A PART OF YOUR TEAM, OBVIOUSLY WITH MARKETING AND OUTREACH. AND SO WE ARE WORKING TO SET UP SPONSORSHIPS FOR EVENTS THAT CITY OF MAINER HAS GOING ON IN 2026. WE ALSO SHARED, AND I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THIS WHEN YOU GUYS VISITED AS WELL, THAT WE'RE HAPPY TO OPEN UP OUR SPACE. IF THERE'S EVER MEETINGS OR TRAININGS THAT ANYONE NEEDS TO HAVE. SO I KNOW ASHLYN AND STEPHANIE WERE BOTH VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE SPOKE WITH CHIEF ABOUT HAVING SOME SOME TRAININGS AND SOME SESSIONS THERE AS WELL. SO I THINK 2026 WILL BE A VERY BUSY TIME FOR THE PROPERTY, HOPEFULLY FOR LEASING AND MOVE INS, BUT ALSO WITH OUR PARTNERSHIP AND DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT WE CAN HOST NOT ONLY AT THE PROPERTY BUT OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. OTHER QUESTIONS? YEP, JUST MY COMMENTS IS JUST AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND FOR THE ENTIRE COMPANY. YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PARTNERSHIP. WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABILITY AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN HAVE A HIGH QUALITY APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT WOULD BRING QUALITY, COMFORT AND STEAM TO TO INDIVIDUALS THAT DIDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE 110, $120,000 A YEAR AS THE KIND OF AVERAGE AUSTIN AM I. AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE BUILD SOMETHING THAT THAT PROVIDED DIGNITY AND SUPPORT. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT QUALITY AND ALSO FOR THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU EXTEND TO TRY TO CONTINUE TO RECRUIT MORE FAMILIES IN THE MAIN AREA. SO IT'S OUR PLEASURE, AND WE'RE EXCITED TO CONTINUE TO BUILD IT AND GROW IT AND AND PARTNER WITH YOU ALL. SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AS WELL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL. ALL RIGHT. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU. YOU TOO. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          [PUBLIC COMMENTS]
PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE EITHER ON THE WIDER YELLOW CARD. IF IT'S ON A YELLOW CARD, COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE AUDIENCE MEMBER ON NON-AGENDA AND AGENDA ITEMS COMBINED FOR THE TIME NOT TO EXCEED FIVE MINUTES TOTAL PER PERSON ON ITEMS, EXCEPT FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS AND ALL PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. WHEN WE TRANSITION TO THOSE WOULD BE TWO MINUTES PER PERSON. SO FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS, WE HAVE ONE AND I WILL KEEP THE TIME. MR. ROBERT. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. 
          IT WAS SUCH A GREAT PRESENTATION. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SHOW US WHAT IT IS AND THEY'RE SUCH GREAT PARTNERS. THEY LEFT AND THEY GOT A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. ARE YOU TALKING TO ME, YOUNG MAN? I'M SORRY. EXCUSE ME. SHE'S POINTING AT ME FOR SOME REASON. I'M JUST 
          [00:15:06]
ASKING HER WHY SHE'S POINTING AT ME. I ALREADY GAVE US A WARNING I GAVE. JUST STAY ON YOUR. STAY ON YOUR AGENDA, OKAY? LET ME GIVE YOU A WARNING, SIR. IN THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION, THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED THE BILL OF RIGHTS. AND ARTICLE 27 IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH REMONSTRANCE. REMONSTRANCE IS MY LAWFUL RIGHT TO SAY JUST ABOUT ANYTHING I FEEL LIKE. SO I DON'T NEED A LECTURE FROM SOMEONE THAT'S PUTTING TOWNHOMES ON TOP OF BLACK GRAVES ABOUT WHAT DECORUM IS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? AND I DON'T APPRECIATE YOU SAYING A PRAYER JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T FIND ANY OTHER PREACHER. HOW COME CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONLY THING WE EVER TALK ABOUT? IS THAT THE ONE TRUE RELIGION? I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK BASICALLY YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN RUNNING A CORRUPT ORGANIZATION FOR PROBABLY THE LAST 20 YEARS, AND I'M HAVING TO COME OUT NOW AND TEACH YOU GUYS HOW THE LAWS WORK. YOU DON'T GET TO CRAM 20 POUNDS OF, YOU KNOW WHAT INTO A 5 POUND AGENDA. YOU DON'T GET TO DO HALF OF THESE THINGS WITHOUT THE FULL REPORTS. SO NOW I FIND PROBLEMS, I FIND SOLUTIONS TO. YOU NEED TO POST BRIEFCASES ON OUR WEBSITE SO THAT WHEN THESE DEVELOPERS COME UP, THEY DON'T JUST SHOW US WHAT THEY WANT TO SHOW US, THEY SHOW US THE ENTIRETY OF THEIR PROJECT FROM DAY ONE. AND IF THEY DON'T DO THAT AND YOU DON'T SHOW THEM EVERYTHING, YOU'RE BREAKING THE LAW. THAT'S THE TUMOR. THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT. AND AS YOU KNOW, I'M FILING MUNICIPAL COURT REPORTS. WE HAVE A MUNICIPAL COURT OF NO RECORD HERE. THAT'S CORRUPTION. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU GUYS LIKE THE CORRUPTION, AND THE CITY ATTORNEYS ARE THE PROSECUTORS. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT? THE COURTS OF NO RECORD ARE IN 85% OF TEXAS TOWNS. I GAVE YOU A CHANCE TO BE A LEADER. SO THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS ON HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR TRANSLATORS. SOMEDAY WE'LL BE ABLE TO TRANSLATE INTO SPANISH. MAYBE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? MAYBE ANOTHER 5 OR 10 YEARS. AND I'D LIKE TO THANK THE MAINER HEIGHTS PEOPLE FOR COMING OUT AND SHOWING, SHOWING A GOOD SUPPORT. IF THEY'RE DEVELOPERS, YOU KNOW, RIP THEM OFF AND TOLD THEM THERE WAS A GREENBELT THERE. THEY NEED TO SUE. THE ONLY WEAPON WE HAVE IS LAWSUITS. COMING HERE AND TALKING TO YOU GUYS IS NEXT TO NOTHING. WE HAVE 100 MILLION BUCKS. YOU CAN'T PUT A PING PONG TABLE IN IN TEN YEARS. WHY IS IT THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO FILL THE PARKS IN? TWO OF THESE PEOPLE UP HERE ON THE PARKS COMMITTEE, THEY'VE KEPT THE ART PARK A PARKING LOT FOR THREE YEARS. IT'S BECAUSE YOU GOT BAMBOOZLED. BAMBOOZLED INTO THINKING THIS IS WHAT MAINER WANTS. THEY PAID $318,000 FOR THIS. AND NOW THAT YOU HAVE FOUND WHERE THE CITY IS SUPPOSED TO BE, WHICH I TOLD YOU, LIKE THREE YEARS AGO, CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF THE ETJ. 
          YOU NEED TO RESCIND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. YOU COULDN'T EVEN READ IT. YOU COULDN'T EVEN PROOFREAD IT. YOU WASTED 318,000 BUCKS ON THAT. YOU DID SUCH A CRUMMY JOB THAT WHEN I POINTED OUT THAT THE SURVEY WAS LINKED TO THE WRONG CITY, THEY GAVE BACK 138,000. 
          AND THEN WE SET UP FIVE TOWN HALL MEETINGS. BUT THE MAYOR GOT SO EMBARRASSED AT THE FIRST ONE, HE CANCELED ALL OF THEM. THAT WAS A $50,000 RIP OFF. SO ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN AT THE MAYOR'S BALL. THAT'S BASICALLY A SLUSH FUND. LAST YEAR IT WAS 31,000. YOU PRETENDED IT WAS A FUNDRAISER, IT LOST 31,000, AND YOU OPENED DRANK THE BAR AND LIKE FISH FOR FREE ON OUR DIME FOR 5000 BUCKS, WHILE THE PARKS ARE EMPTY AND YOU'RE DRINKING LIKE THERE'S A BIG PRINCESS BALL. YOU GUYS NEED TO. I'M ALL FOR. I'M IN FAVOR OF A MAYOR'S BALL WHEN OUR CITY IS WORTH A HOOT. DO I HAVE ANY MORE TIME? YES. YOU HAVE A MINUTE. I'LL STOP YOU WHEN YOU FINISH. SOMEDAY WE'LL GET A TIMER LIGHT HERE. DO YOU THINK THIS COST 200 BUCKS? YOU WANT ME TO BUY ONE FOR THE CITY? NO. THAT WOULD MAKE ROBERT LOOK GOOD. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO. IT'S CALLED A MESSAGE BOARD. IT HAS TO BE ONE CLICK AWAY FROM THE WEB PAGE, AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN ALL TALK TO EACH OTHER. YOU CAN EVEN TALK TO THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION. YOU KNOW, THE SECRET ORGANIZATION YOU'RE DOING. THIS IS OUR CONSTITUTION AND YOU'RE DOING IT IN SECRET. AND EVERY TIME THEY MEET AND DO SOMETHING, I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET EVERY SINGLE ONE OF ALL YOU GUYS A FINE OF UP TO 100. EXCUSE ME, $500. THAT'S WHAT THE MUNICIPAL COURT CAN DO. IT CAN'T THROW ANYBODY IN JAIL. AND THERE'S NO RECORD. YOU CAN LIE YOUR YOU KNOW WHAT'S OFF. AND THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN IS YOU'LL GET A $500 FINE. I'VE GOT 34 OF THOSE IN RIGHT NOW, FOLKS. AND SOME OF THEM, IT'S ALL THE CITY COUNCIL AND HALF THE STAFF, JUST THE LEADERS, THE PEOPLE THAT DO THE ACTUAL WORK. THEY THINK I'M A HERO. 
          THEY KNOW I'M A HERO, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST THEY JUST DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO TEACH THEM. 
          THEY THINK THEY CAN'T LEARN. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO PUBLIC HEARINGS, CONDUCT A 
          [1. Conduct a Public Hearing on a rezoning application for one (1) lot on 2.786 acres,  more or less, and being TCAD parcel 236902 also known as 12725 US HWY 290,  Manor, TX from (A) Agricultural to (IN-1) Light Industrial.]
PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REZONING APPLICATION. MAYOR, MAY I INTERRUPT? I'M JUST GOING TO 
          [00:20:02]
RECUSE MYSELF FROM THIS ITEM. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CONDUCTING PUBLIC HEARING ON REZONING APPLICATION FOR ONE LOT ON 2.786 ACRES, MORE OR LESS. AND BEING TCAD PARCEL 236902, ALSO KNOWN AS 12725 US HIGHWAY 290 MANOR, TEXAS FROM AGRICULTURAL TO IN-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. LET'S SEE, MR. BURRELL. 1 MILLION. MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MICHAEL BURRELL, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MANOR. THIS ZONING REQUEST IS FOR THE PROPERTY JUST BEHIND WHERE ASCO CURRENTLY SITS. THEY'RE REQUESTING TO CHANGE FROM AGRICULTURAL TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO CONTINUE THE GENRE OF USE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS IN THE AREA. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING A ZONING OF C3 HEAVY COMMERCIAL BECAUSE IT ALLOWS FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USE, BUT IT'S ALSO MORE IN LINE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS THAT AREA PER THE PLAN IS DESIGNATED AS NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE. SO WITH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR RETAIL OR SOME CITIZEN ORIENTED SERVICE IN THE AREA WOULD BE MORE BENEFICIAL DOWN THE LINE. 
          AS OWNERSHIP CHANGES OR THE CITY CONTINUES TO DEVELOP. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. COUNCIL MEMBERS. MICHAEL, HAVE YOU HEARD ANY QUESTIONS OR APPREHENSION ABOUT THE ITEMS THAT WERE MENTIONED FOR BEING REMOVABLE OR ALLOWABLE USES? THE ONES THAT THE RECOMMENDED TO BE REMOVED? I'VE NOT BEEN TOLD OF ANY APPREHENSION TO THE LIST AS IT'S PRESENTED. THANK YOU. OKAY. HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PEOPLE THAT YOU HAD TO REACH OUT TO OR OUTSIDE OF THAT? WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMENT ON THIS ITEM, PARTICULARLY THOUGH WE DID HAVE CONVERSATION WITH THE POTENTIAL BUYER OF THE PROPERTY AND WHAT THE ZONING CATEGORIES WOULD MEAN IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PROJECT. AND HE IS HERE FOR QUESTIONS IF THERE ARE ANY. OTHER QUESTIONS. COMMENTS. YOU SAID THE PERSON THE THERE'S SOMEONE HERE. YES, HE IS PRESENT. ARE THEY AVAILABLE? HI. GO. YEAH CARSON BYRD THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT. SO I'LL ASK YOU, DO YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE RECOMMENDED REMOVAL OF CERTAIN USES. AND THAT'S FOR THE C3 REMOVAL OF OF SERVICES. CORRECT. THAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE. CORRECT? YES. SO WE'RE IDEALLY WE'RE STILL TRYING TO PURSUE A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING RATHER THAN A, THAN A HEAVY COMMERCIAL. THE REASON FOR THAT BEING THAT THE THE CONDITIONS OF USE IN TERMS OF STREET SCAPING, BUFFER YARDS, FENCE SCREENING, PAVING REQUIREMENTS ARE QUITE A BIT HEAVIER IN THE IN THE C3 HEAVY COMMERCIAL, AND WE FEEL LIKE THESE DON'T ALIGN WITH WHAT THIS AREA IS, IS, IS GOING TOWARDS AND HEADING TOWARDS. WE FEEL LIKE THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL MAKES MORE SENSE FOR THIS AREA, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS AREA NOT HAVING WASTEWATER LINES. NOT BEING A PUBLIC ROAD, IT'S STILL A PRIVATE ROAD THAT ISN'T EVEN PAVED YET. AND SO WE FEEL LIKE THIS AREA REALLY IS TRENDING MORE TOWARDS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. 
          AND YOUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP. IT HAS IT AS MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND SO, YOU KNOW, EVEN C3 DOESN'T REALLY ACCOUNT FOR KIND OF THAT FUTURE FUTURE USE. AND SO WE FEEL LIKE WITH THE PROPERTY IN FRONT OF IT BEING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, THIS AREA OBVIOUSLY ALREADY HAVING SEVERAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USERS, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, IT MAKES MORE SENSE THAN KIND OF JUST THROWING OUT A RANDOM ZONING BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT, IT IT SEEMS RIGHT. BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO FOR YOUR YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ALIGN WITH YOUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP ANYWAYS, THEN WE FEEL LIKE A ZONING THAT ACTUALLY FITS WHAT THE USES ARE WOULD MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE. 
          [00:25:02]
THANK YOU. WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU KNOW WHAT IS INTENDED TO GO THERE. YEAH. SO THE THE BUYER OF THE PROPERTY WHICH IS, WHICH IS US IS A WHAT WE DO IS WE, WE BUY PROPERTIES AND THEN WE HAVE A FEW TENANTS THAT WE WORK WITH THAT ARE EQUIPMENT RENTAL COMPANIES. SO IT'LL BE THE EXACT SAME USES AS WHAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT, WHICH IS ASCO AND AND ANDERSON MACHINERY, WHICH ARE TWO OF THE THE LARGEST EQUIPMENT RENTAL SUPPLIERS IN MANER WE WORK WITH. 
          WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHICH COMPANY IT'LL BE YET, BUT WE WORK WITH COMPANIES LIKE SUNBELT RENTALS, UNITED RENTALS, THOSE KINDS OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT COMPANIES THAT SERVICE RESIDENTIAL GROWTH AND AND AREAS LIKE LIKE THIS ONE. AGAIN. AND WITH THE CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FIRE STATION, YOU DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY ISSUES THERE WITH WITH WHAT IT WOULD BUSINESS BEING THERE. OH, NO, I'M WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ANY CONCERNS THERE. I DON'T THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FIRE STATION THAT'S ACROSS THE STREET, CORRECT. YEAH. NO, WE WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T CONSIDERED ANY CONCERNS. THERE'S CURRENTLY A BUSINESS THAT'S OPERATING SIMILARLY TO WHAT WE'D BE DOING, BUT IS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME. AND AND THEY'RE DOING JUST FINE. YOU WERE DISCUSSING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BUFFER YARD AND EVERYTHING BEING LESS STRINGENT WITH THE. BUT YOU'RE IT APPEARS THAT YOU'RE BUILDINGS WILL BE OR YOUR EQUIPMENT WILL BE RIGHT THERE BACKING UP AGAINST HOMES. 
          CORRECT. YEAH. SO OBVIOUSLY WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL BE A BUFFER YARD AND AND YOU KNOW, A NEED FOR THAT. THE REQUIREMENT AND C3 FOR THE BUFFER YARD IS IS HIGHER THAN, THAN IN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WHICH OBVIOUSLY ADDS TAKES AWAY USABLE AREA AND ADDS AN ADDED LAYER OF COST THAT THAT WE JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IS NECESSARY. OTHER QUESTIONS MICHAEL, CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE LAND USE MAP AND WHY C3 IS RECOMMENDED? SO WHEN STAFF LOOKED AT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE, WE TRIED TO FIND A MEET IN THE MIDDLE SOLUTION. BECAUSE TYPICALLY WHEN YOU REQUEST A ZONING, YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO DO SOMETHING COMPLETELY OFFSET FROM WHAT THE ORIGINAL REQUEST IS, BUT SOMETHING ADJACENT IS ALLOWED WITH C3. IT ALLOWS FOR THAT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USE, BUT IT ALSO PROVIDES FOR THE RETAIL SHOPPING ASPECT. IN THE EVENT THAT, AS WE'RE ALL AWARE OF, NEW KATY IS NEXT DOOR, IT GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FUTURE OWNERSHIP OR TENANTS TO PROVIDE THOSE SHOPS, SERVICES AND STORES THINGS OF THAT NATURE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE WHEN THE TIME COMES, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING A BIT MORE OF A BUFFER BETWEEN THE INDUSTRIAL USE THAT'S CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATED IN THE CURRENT RESIDENCE. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? MAY I ADD ONE? SO IF IF A C3 ZONING WAS CONSIDERED, OBVIOUSLY WE'D WE'D LIKE TO PUSH FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WAS REMOVED WAS TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL ON C3. AND OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF, YOU KNOW, LEASING THIS TO A TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL TENANT OR OR CONSTRUCTING THAT. WE FEEL LIKE THE THE TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL ADD DOES ADD A LITTLE BIT OF GRAY AREA FOR A LOT OF THESE TENANTS THAT USE 18 WHEELERS OR HEAVY TRUCKS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE ASCO OR ANDERSON MACHINERY, THAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THIS. 
          IF WE WERE TO GO C3 WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST WE'RE FINE WITH THE OTHER MODIFICATIONS ADDED. 
          BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST IT TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL BE BE ADDED BACK IN AS A ALLOWED USE. 
          JUST FOR THE FACT OF KNOWING THAT THESE TENANTS WILL BE NEEDING, YOU KNOW, 18 WHEELER OR OR FLATBED TRUCK OPERATION. THAT USES IS JUST TO DROP OFF AND PICK UP EQUIPMENT THOUGH, RIGHT? CORRECT. YES. IT'S NOT A NOT A DISTRIBUTION CENTER, BUT. CORRECT. OTHER QUESTIONS. SO 
          [00:30:04]
YOUR YOUR REQUEST FOR THAT LANGUAGE TO BE IN THERE IS, IS BASICALLY BECAUSE YOU WANT THE POTENTIAL BUSINESS TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND DROP OFF. AND YOU'RE WONDERING IF THE LANGUAGE NOT BEING THERE IS GOING TO PREVENT THAT. YES, WE WE'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT TRAFFIC OF, OF TRUCKS IS NOT GOING TO PROHIBIT A TENANT HAVING ALLOWED USE THERE. AND WE FEEL LIKE TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL COULD ADD A LEVEL OF GRAY AREA THERE THAT IS IS NOT NECESSARY. CAN YOU PROVIDE CLARIFICATION, MR. BROWN? SO IN TERMS OF A FUNCTION AS PRIMARY USE, I'M NOT CERTAIN IF IT WOULD BE LIMITED IF THE PRIMARY FUNCTION ISN'T A TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL, BUT RATHER THESE TRUCKS ARE COMING TO DROP OFF EQUIPMENT OR TRANSPORT IT SOMEWHERE TO A JOB SITE. BUT WITH THIS BEING THE FIRST READING, WHAT WE CAN DO IN BETWEEN NOW AND THE SECOND READING IS GET FURTHER CLARIFICATION AND PROVIDE A CLEAR INSIGHT AS TO WHAT THAT MEANS TO ENSURE THAT IF THIS RECOMMENDATION DOES PROCEED, THE BUSINESS IS NOT HINDERED THROUGH LACK OF CLARITY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? ARE THE ROADS IN THAT AREA SATISFACTORY FOR THAT TYPE OF TRAFFIC? SO WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF THAT ROADWAY. IT IS NOT WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE NOW, BUT TO THAT POINT, DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY CAN'T OCCUR UNTIL A. I'M BLANKING ON WORDS. RIGHT NOW. THE CORRECT STANDARD ROAD IS BUILT TO ALLOW FOR PLATTING AND ULTIMATELY DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE. OKAY. THANK YOU. I'LL TAKE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR MOTION. 
          OUR COUNCIL TO TO COUNCIL MEMBER WALLACE INQUIRY ABOUT THE ROADWAY. WE ARE WORKING WITH SD 12 AND WORKING WITH ASCO AND ANDERSON TO AND MR. BRIAN AND FRY WHICH IS THE PROPERTY OWNER TO THE WEST AND SOUTH OF ANDERSON TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THAT IS TO HAVE ANOTHER ROUTE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ONCE GEORGE BUSH IS EXTENDED TO GET TO EMU THAT WAY, THE RESPONSE TIME FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD BE THE FIRST STANDARD. IF NOT, THEY'D HAVE A LONGER WAY ROUND TO GET TO BELL FARMS OR CARRIAGE HOUSE NEIGHBORHOOD IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY. SO THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THE ROAD IS IMPROVED, NOT ONLY FOR ANDERSON AND ASCO, BUT ALL THE BUSINESSES. SO WE HAVE ANOTHER THROUGH STREET NORTH SOUTH CONNECTOR FOR THE CITY. AND SO THAT'S THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ANOTHER NORTH SOUTH TO CONNECT OH HIGHWAY 20 TO 290. WOULD THERE BE ANY CONFLICT WITH THE BIG RIGS COMING IN TO MAKE THE DELIVERY AND THE FIRE TRUCKS GETTING OUT? I THINK TIMING WISE, IF IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY, MOST VEHICLES WILL PULL TO THE SIDE IF THERE'S A RESPONSE. SO I THINK JUST MORE SO THE ROAD NEEDS TO BE UP TO STANDARD BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT A STANDARD ROAD FOR EVERYDAY TRAVEL. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING WITH ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO APPROVE THAT, BUT ALSO FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO BE ABLE TO GO SOUTH INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR MOTION? THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND CAN WE START SEEING THE SITE PLANS UP WHEN WE WHEN WE DO AN ITEM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PEOPLE AT HOME THAT WATCH THIS TOO. WE NEED THE SITE PLANS UP ON EVERYTHING. PLEASE. CAN YOU PUT THE SITE PLAN UP FOR THIS ONE? PARDON ME, SIR, CAN I SEE THE SITE PLAN PLEASE? OKAY. YOU GUYS REALLY GOT BAMBOOZLED COMPLETELY ON THIS ONE. YOU BASICALLY, YOU SOLD US OUT LIKE A BUNCH OF CHUMPS. 
          THIS THE SITE PLAN THAT WE'RE NOT SEEING HERE. IT'S THIS GREEN PIPE THAT YOU SEE ON THE BOTTOM HERE. THIS GREEN PIPE. THEY LEFT THAT IN PHASE ONE SO THAT THE CITY WOULD PAY FOR IT. 
          THIS IS THE EFFLUENT FROM UPSTREAM. HOW COME WE ARE PAYING FOR THAT? IS THIS OUR NEW BUSINESS TO JUST PUMP THE. YOU KNOW WHAT OF OTHER CITIES? THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A PUMPING STATION ON OUR PARKING LOT, AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO BLOCK THE ENTIRE SUNSET WITH THE WAREHOUSE. NOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A AND YOU CALLED IT AN AMPHITHEATER. THIS DEAL, THEY CAME OUT OF AUSTIN BECAUSE AUSTIN WANTED THEM TO SPEND 3 OR 4 MILLION BUCKS MITIGATING ENVIRONMENTAL STUFF AND FIXING THE ROADS. BUT THEY SAID, WELL, LET'S GO TO MAYNARD. THEY'LL GIVE US 8 MILLION AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO NOTHING. THEY NEVER PLANNED TO FIX HILL LANE, EVER. 
          THEY GOT BAMBOOZLED THE PC, PNC TO TURN THEM INTO SEVEN LOTS SO THEY COULD SPIN OFF THE WHOLE AREA SOUTH OF HILL, AND THEY'RE GOING TO GET THAT DEVELOPER, PUT A SUBDIVISION THERE AND ABSORB THAT. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO GO TO THE MAYNARD COMMERCIAL PARK. THAT'S WHY WE PUT IT THERE. DO YOU GUYS NOT REMEMBER WHEN YOU PUT THAT THERE? THAT'S WHERE THE BIG ROBOT WAREHOUSE BOXES GO. THEY GO DOWN TOWARD ELGIN, AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT IT THERE, GIVE THEM SOME OF THAT GREAT EAST DEVELOPMENT. ONE LAND. WE GOT 100 ACRES THERE. DO A LAND SWAP, MR. JONES. YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. YOU GUYS, THE DEVELOPERS AND CONSULTANTS AND BOND SALESMEN HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR TOWN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? YOU'RE HANDING IT TO THEM ON A SILVER PLATTER, AND ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR. BROWN. MAYOR. COUNCIL, THIS ITEM IS A CONCEPT PLAN AMENDMENT WHICH ESSENTIALLY ACCOUNTS FOR THE LOT LAYOUT AND MAKING ADJUSTMENT TO THE LOT CONVEYED TO THE CITY TO ACTUALLY REMOVE THE LIFT STATION OFF OF THE LOT BEING GIVEN TO US AND PUT ON THE DEVELOPER'S PROPERTY. QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND IT WILL BE MAINTAINED BY THE DEVELOPER. YES, THIS IS A PRIVATE LIFT STATION TO BE MAINTAINED BY THEM. WELL THE QUESTIONS. AND THEN I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM NUMBER TWO, MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WHERE? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. 
          [3. Conduct a Public Hearing on a rezoning application amendment for the Manor  Heights (Carillon) Subdivision, approximately one thousand six hundred and fifty-five  (1,655) lots on 548.5 acres, more or less, and being located at the NE corner of US Hwy  290 and Old Kimbro Road, Manor, TX from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to  Planned Unit Development (PUD).]

          EXCUSE ME. CONDUCTED. PUBLIC HEARING ON. ON A REZONING APPLICATION. AMENDMENT FOR THE MANOR HEIGHTS. CAROL. CARRY ON. SUBDIVISION. APPROXIMATELY 1655 LOTS ON 548.5 ACRES, MORE OR LESS, AND BEING LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF US HIGHWAY 290 AND OLD KIMBER ROAD, MAYNARD, TEXAS. FROM PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD AND MR. ROBERT, YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES. MR. ROBERT. I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT YOU SAID NO. 
          NO. DID YOU ASK FOR ME? NO. YEAH. APOLOGIES. YEAH. I WOULD PREFER TO SPOKEN AFTER THESE FINE FOLKS. THIS BASICALLY ILLUSTRATES AN ONGOING PROBLEM WE HAVE WHERE THESE DEVELOPERS PUT IN PROPERTIES. THEY EVEN PUT IN WHAT THEY LIKE TO CALL A PARK, AND THEN THEY THEY JUST SORT OF ABANDON IT AND GO AWAY. MY QUESTION IS, WHY CAN'T WE SPEND SOME MONEY IN THIS PARK? 
          [00:40:01]
AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IT'S A DEDICATED AREA. MAYBE THEY HAVE A BENCH, BUT MAYBE THEY COULD USE A SHADE STRUCTURE. GEE, NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT. SO MY, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY TO YOU IS IF THESE DEVELOPERS AND THEY DO THIS A LOT, SHADOW GLEN DEVELOPERS DO THIS ALL THE TIME. 
          THEY TRY TO PRETEND THAT THAT PARK OVER THERE IS IS A SHADOW GLEN OPEN SPACE. THAT'S BECAUSE YOU GUYS COULDN'T PROOFREAD IT. THAT'S THE CITY OF MANOR PARK. JUST LIKE THE ONE BEHIND THESE GUYS IS A CITY OF MAYNARD DEDICATED PARK. SO HOW ABOUT MAYNARD SPENDS SOME OF ITS MONEY? WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. YOU CAN'T EVEN PUT IN A FREE PING PONG TABLE. I HAD A FREE DISC GOLF COURSE READY TO PUT IN. HOW ABOUT WE PUT A DISC GOLF COURSE THERE? MAYBE. SO. ANYWAY, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THESE PEOPLE AND HEAR THEM LOUD AND CLEAR. BECAUSE IF THEY NEED HELP FILING LAWSUITS, I'M READY TO HELP THEM BECAUSE YOU GUYS NEED TO LEARN SOME LESSONS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. LET'S SEE. ITEM NUMBER THREE. IS IT RODMAN? ALL RIGHT. THERE WE GO. IT. AND YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES, SIR. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR. DOCTOR HARVEY, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS DOCTOR MATTHEW RODMAN. I LIVE IN CAROLINE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          I'M HERE TONIGHT TO ASK YOU TO DENY THE REQUEST TO AMEND CAROLINE POD. WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR HOME IN THE 1500 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM. WAS A KEY REASON WHY WE CHOSE CAROLINE. AND IT SET CLEAR EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE CHARACTER AND LONG TERM STABILITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          FAMILIES MADE SERIOUS FINANCIAL DECISIONS BASED ON THAT STANDARD, AND CHANGING IT NOW FEELS LIKE WE'RE CHANGING THE RULES AFTER THE GAME HAS ALREADY STARTED. SO LAST WEEK, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOGNIZED THIS CONCERN AND DENIED THAT REQUEST UNANIMOUSLY. CAROLINE ALREADY INCLUDES THE ZONING THAT ALLOWS FOR SMALLER HOMES. THERE ARE 169 MEDIUM DENSITY LOTS IN SECTION FOUR WITH NO MINIMUM HOME SIZE REQUIREMENTS. THESE LOTS PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY WITHOUT CHANGING THE STANDARDS FOR THE PRIMARY SINGLE FAMILY AREAS AFTER THE FACT. SO THIS PROPOSAL, HOWEVER, GOES MUCH FURTHER. IT WOULD ALLOW UP TO 576 ADDITIONAL HOMES TO BE BUILT AT UP TO ONE THIRD SMALLER THAN THE ORIGINALLY APPROVED POD. THIS DOES NOT SOLVE A COMMUNITY PROBLEM, IT JUST BENEFITS THE DEVELOPER BY INCREASING THEIR PROFIT THROUGH SMALLER, CHEAPER HOMES WHILE SHIFTING LONG TERM RISK ONTO HOMEOWNERS, OUR CITY AND OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND AT RISK MATTERS BECAUSE OF A LARGE CONCENTRATION OF SMALLER HOMES, PUTS DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY VALUES OVER TIME. LOWER VALUES DO NOT JUST AFFECT HOMEOWNERS, THEY REDUCE THE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE, WHICH THE CITY RELIES ON FOR SERVICES AND WHICH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT RELIES ON TO SUPPORT STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND CLASSROOMS. THIS COUNCIL HAS SHOWN THAT EDUCATION ON LONG TERM PLANNING MATTERS AND DECISIONS LIKE THIS SHAPE THE TAX BASE FOR YEARS, AND WHEN STANDARDS ARE LOWERED, THE EFFECTS ARE HARD TO REVERSE. HOMEOWNERS CANNOT CHANGE THE TERMS UNDER WHICH WE BOUGHT OUR OWN HOMES, BUT THE CITY CAN UPHOLD THE STANDARDS IT ORIGINALLY APPROVED. SO DOING SO PROTECTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SUPPORTS STABLE PROPERTY VALUES, SAFEGUARDS THE LONG TERM INTEREST IN OUR CITY AND OUR SCHOOLS. FOR THESE REASONS, AND IN LINE WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DECISION, I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU TO DENY THIS REQUEST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. MISS DARLENE TRIUMPH. MY NAME IS MASTER SERGEANT DARLENE TRAHAN, RETIRED U.S. AIR FORCE. I'M SORRY. I'D LIKE EVERYBODY TO HEAR ME. YEAH. I'M SORRY. YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T. YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SPEAK, OR DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK? I'LL SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AWESOME. YOU READY? THE PROPERTY AREA THAT'S BEING BUILT ON IS AN AREA THAT I'M VERY PROUD TO BE A PART OF. A MEMBER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUILDING ON THESE HOMES IN THE SMALLER DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOMES DECREASES OUR VALUE OF OUR HOMES. THAT WE. I MYSELF ORIGINALLY DID NOT THINK WAS GOING TO BE BUILT ON. I WAS TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED MY HOME A PREMIUM LOT THAT THERE WOULD NOT BE HOMES BUILT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEHIND ME. NOW I'M FINDING OUT THAT THERE WILL BE. THIS IS GOING TO DEPRECIATE MY VALUE OF MY HOME, ALONG WITH THE VALUE OF THE HOMES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS A BLOW ON MYSELF AND OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY. 
          I BELIEVE THAT PROPERTY CAN BE PUT TO BETTER USE, MAYBE BUILD A PARK IN THOSE AREAS TO MAINTAIN THE VALUE OF OUR HOMES, AND ALSO TO PROVIDE FOR OUR CHILDREN AND OUR COMMUNITY. 
          [00:45:07]
THANK YOU FOR YOUR APPROVAL. IF IT MAY BE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND LET'S SEE, MISS DONNA. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. I TO LIVE IN THE CARROLLTON NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          MY HUSBAND AND I PAID A PREMIUM TO LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, AS SO MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE, AND IN OUR VIEW, THIS AMOUNTS TO SOMETHING AKIN TO A BAIT AND SWITCH, WHERE WE PURCHASE PROPERTY WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THE HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL LOOK THE WAY THEY LOOKED WHEN WE PURCHASED. AND LO AND BEHOLD, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETELY CHANGE THE CHARACTER, THE STRUCTURE, THE FEEL OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THERE'S A QUESTION OF FAIRNESS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO FIRMLY REJECT THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT BECAUSE OF THE ADVERSE IMPACTS THAT ARE LIKELY ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK IT'S IN EVERYBODY'S INTEREST FOR THE COUNCIL TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON PRINCIPLE AND PRIORITIZING, OR RATHER, BEING UNWILLING TO PRIORITIZE CORPORATE INTERESTS OVER THE INTERESTS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 
          AND IS IT LASEK? YEP. HI. YEAH, MY NAME IS LAWSON FERNANDO. I DO LIVE IN CARROLLTON. PHASE THREE. I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO URGE YOU TO DENY THIS REQUEST TO AMEND THE ZONING FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE ALSO MENTIONED. BUT ON TOP OF THAT, SMALLER HOMES ARE EASIER TO RENT OUT IN VACATION HOMES AND AIRBNBS AND THINGS, AND A LARGER PERCENTAGE OF THOSE WILL ALSO AFFECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS AND THE VALUES OF OUR PROPERTIES, WHICH DOES AFFECT MOST OF OUR COMMUNITY, BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE PURCHASED OUR HOMES HERE, FOR MOST OF US, IT'S A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT OF THEIR NET WORTH. SO THEY HAVE A INTEREST IN PROTECTING IT. THE DEVELOPER, ON THE OTHER HAND, CITED CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS AS THE REASON FOR THIS SHIFT. DEVELOPER, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS A LOT MORE RESOURCES THAN INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THEY CAN ABSORB THAT IMPACT BECAUSE MARKETS CHANGE ALL THE TIME. THEY'LL RECOVER. THEY ARE TRYING TO UNNECESSARILY PUSH A BURDEN ONTO COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO MAXIMIZE SHORT TERM PROFIT. AND WE URGE THESE COUNCIL TO REJECT THAT AMENDMENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. COME ON UP. MAYOR COUNCIL, AS MENTIONED BY THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS WELL AS IN THE SUMMARY FORM, THIS AMENDMENT IS TO ALLOW FOR A SMALLER DWELLING UNIT SIZE OR LIVING SPACE WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION FROM 1500 SQUARE FEET DOWN TO 1000. THERE'S ALSO THE ADDITION OF TRAILS IN THE SUBDIVISION BEING UPGRADED FROM CRUSHED GRANITE TO CONCRETE. QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBERS. I THINK MY QUESTION WOULD BE IF THERE. IS THEIR INTENTION WAS TO HAVE THIS DONE, WHY WAS IT NOT IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN? SO THE HISTORY, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IS THAT THIS WAS INTENDED TO BE A HIGHER END NEIGHBORHOOD. YEAH. LET ME JUST REMIND EVERYBODY ABOUT DECORUM. THIS IS A BUSINESS MEETING. 
          JUST PRESENTER AND COUNCIL A HIGHER IN NEIGHBORHOOD WITH QUALITY HOMES, QUALITY AMENITIES, THINGS OF THAT. NATURE IS THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE PUD. OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS. ARE THEY TRYING TO ASSUME THAT THE SMALLER HOMES WILL BE MORE 
          [00:50:03]
CONSIDERED AFFORDABLE HOMES? THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD WITH THE DEVELOPER, AND THEY DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE TONIGHT FOR ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. IS THAT THE RANGE OF HOME SIZES GIVES MORE FLEXIBILITY TO THE HOMEBUILDER TO ALLOW THEM TO DELIVER DIFFERENT HOME TYPES, TO MEET DIFFERENT MARKETS THAT THEY'RE AIMING FOR. AND THE INTENT IS TO HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY SO THAT THEY CAN MEET THE DEMAND OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. 
          COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE, I THINK SOME OF THE EMPHASIS THAT THAT WAS JUST SHARED AND AND IS ALSO IN, IN, I THINK, EXPRESSED DURING PLANNING, ZONING. APPEARS TO BE THERE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELL THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN REGARDS TO THE SIZE, HOUSE SIZE AND PRICING. AND AND THEN YOU HAVE THE A CONCERN THAT THE DENSITY THAT THE DEVELOPER IS GOING FOR IS GOING TO CHANGE THE DYNAMIC OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND SO YOU HAVE LARGER SQUARE FOOT HOMES, LARGER LOTS, AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE. MAYBE THAT THE LAND WILL BE CHOPPED INTO A SPACE FOR MORE DENSITY TO HAPPEN IN THAT AREA THAN WHAT NORMALLY WOULD BE, WHICH THEN WOULD MEAN POSSIBLY THE PRICE OF THE HOME WOULD BE LOWER. AND IF I MAY, THE DEVELOPER CAN CERTAINLY CORRECT ME IF I'M MISTAKEN, BUT I'M JUST I'M JUST GIVING A SUMMARY OF WHAT THE NOTES ARE, WHAT WE HAVE IN WRITING, IN REGARDS TO NOTES, AND SO SO THERE'S A SO SO WHAT'S BEEN SAID IS BAIT AND SWITCH THE POTENTIAL OF THE SMALLER HOMES BEING USED FOR RENTAL AND BEING. AND THOSE THINGS IMPACTING NETWORK AND WORRY ABOUT THE THE DEVELOPER TRYING TO GAIN MORE INCOME THROUGH SMALLER FOOTPRINT. IF I'M CORRECT THIS THIS CHANGE IN THIS PLAN WILL ALMOST DOUBLE THE HOMES THAT WE THAT WERE ORIGINALLY CITED FOR THIS PROPERTY. NO. SO THE LOTS SIZES AREN'T GOING TO BE IMPACTED. IT'S THE SIZE OF THE HOME THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THAT IS TO BE REDUCED. SO JUST BE SMALLER HOMES ON THE EXISTING LOTS, SPECIFICALLY PHASES FOUR, FIVE, SEVEN AND EIGHT, WHICH HAVE LOTS REMAINING TO BE CONSTRUCTED. I THOUGHT I READ SOMETHING THAT SAID THAT THEY WERE ADDING 500 AND SOMETHING HOME. SARAH. THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO ASK THAT WE STILL STAY QUIET IN THE AUDIENCE. I THINK WHAT YOU MAY BE REFERRING TO IS THE ACTUAL ABILITY TO HAVE SMALLER HOMES. THERE'S CURRENTLY A SECTION WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION THAT DOES ALLOW FOR LOWER HOME SIZES. THIS EXPANDS THE ABILITY TO OTHER PHASES. SO IT'S NOT THAT THE NUMBER OF LOTS IS INCREASING, IT'S THE ABILITY TO HAVE SMALLER HOMES ON THE LOTS THAT'S OCCURRING. OKAY, MISS STARKEY IS HERE. SHE CAN ANSWER SOME MORE OF YOUR QUESTIONS, COUNCILMEMBER WALLACE. HI, SARAH STARKEY WITH KIMLEY-HORN. I'M THE ENGINEER ON THE PROJECT AND THEN A REPRESENTATIVE FROM FORESTAR WITH THE DEVELOPERS HERE AS WELL. IF YOU DO HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS. OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO WILL GINGRICH WITH FOUR STAR? THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNCILMAN WALTERS, EXACTLY WHERE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO PUT THESE SMALLER HOMES ON THE LIKE WHICH PHASE? SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, I CAN POINT AT THE SCREEN. SO ON THE BOTTOM, THE KIND OF SOUTHWEST CORNER IS CALLED PHASE FIVE, AND IT'S REALLY HARD TO SEE IN THE AUDIENCE. I APOLOGIZE. IT SAYS PHASE FIVE ON IT. AND THEN JUST NORTH OF THAT IT SAYS JUST A PUD SF LABEL RIGHT THERE. KIND OF THERE'S A BLUE SQUARE. IT'S A IT'S ANYTHING SURROUNDING THAT THAT HAS NOT ALREADY HAD A HOME PUT ON IT. AND THEN WITH THE LAST REZONING AMENDMENT THAT WAS COMPLETED, WE ADDED PHASES SEVEN AND EIGHT. AGAIN, IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE SIZE OF THE LOTS THAT ARE PROPOSED. SO WE'RE STILL TALKING MINIMUM 50 FOOT WIDE IT'S JUST THE HOUSE PAD SIZE. THE CHANGE ON THIS. FOR THE AUDIENCE SAKE. DO YOU MIND IF CAN SOMEONE MAKE A TO A 
          [00:55:02]
POINTER. DO YOU MIND IF I. OKAY. SO YEAH IF YOU GO TO THE SOUTH OF THAT RIGHT THERE, ARE YOU ABLE TO SEE THAT PART. SURE. SO THAT'S THE LAST PHASE OF THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT THAT IS STILL BEING BUILT OUT. AND THEN WITH THE LAST AMENDMENT WAS THE TWO NAGEL ESTATES TRACKS THAT WERE ADDED IN THAT ARE CALLED PHASES SEVEN AND EIGHT. SO KIND OF RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE THERE'S A BIG GREEN LINE. IT SAYS PHASE SEVEN ON IT. YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT OVER IT. YEAH. SO THAT THAT BIG SQUARE, YOU SEE HOW THERE'S A SQUARE OUTLINING. YEAH. THAT'S PHASE SEVEN. AND THEN GO TO THE NORTH. JUST ONE MORE NORTH. THERE'S A SQUARE OUTLINE. YEAH. THAT'S PHASE EIGHT. HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS CLARIFY. AND ALL OF THIS IS RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE LIKE TO THE BOTTOM BY PHASE FIVE. IS THAT WHERE THE THAT'S WHERE CARE CAROLINE IS. SO THIS IS THE LIKE THIS IS THE ZONING PORTION OF IT. IT GETS A LITTLE CONFUSING BECAUSE THERE IS PHASE ONE OF CAROLINE THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS. SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL SEE. THAT'S KIND OF BLACK AND WHITE UNDER. THERE'S A BLUE DASHED LINE THAT KIND OF IS THE FLOODPLAIN ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN ALL THE WAY ON THE LEFT. IT'S NOT REALLY IT. YEAH, IT HAS LOTS ON IT. SO THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PHASE. AND THEN THAT ONE'S THE WHAT'S CONNECTED BY A TRAIL TO PHASE FIVE. DOES THAT DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. SO ON THAT ORIGINAL PHASE ALL THE HOUSES THE NORMAL SIZE. YEAH. SO IT WOULD JUST BE ON PHASES FOUR, FIVE, SEVEN AND EIGHT THAT HAVE NOT HAD ANY BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED ON THEM. AND SO THAT'S THAT 576 LOT NUMBER THAT SOMEBODY QUOTED EARLIER, I BELIEVE IT WAS DOCTOR MARTIN QUOTED, QUOTED THE LOT NUMBER. 
          THAT'S HOW MANY WOULD BE REMAINING THAT COULD FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY. SO IT WASN'T AN INCREASE IN NUMBER OF LOTS. IT WAS JUST THAT WOULD BE THE NUMBER THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY APPLY. OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS COUNCIL MEMBERS. NOT. CAN I. CAN I ASK A QUESTION. NO. NO QUESTION. OTHER COMMENTS. COUNCIL MEMBERS I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE DEVELOPER. I GUESS WITH THE NUMBER OF COMMENTS THAT YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE YOU ALL ABLE TO HEAR ABOUT THIS BEFORE, OR HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS IT WITH THEM, LIKE MAYBE IF THEY HAD AN HOA MEETING OR SOMETHING. WE HAVEN'T HAD A MEETING. WE WORKED WITH CITY STAFF ON THIS. OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? OKAY, SINCE THERE IS SO MUCH OPPOSITION TO THIS, IS THERE ANY WAY FOR YOU TO GET WITH THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND MAYBE MEET IN THE MIDDLE ON SOMETHING? I MEAN, YEAH, WE I MEAN, WE COULD MEET WITH THEM. YEAH. OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR INTENTION IS JUST TO GIVE OUR BUILDERS WE'RE LOT DEVELOPERS. OUR INTENTION IS TO GIVE OUR BUILDERS THE FLEXIBILITY IN THEIR BUILDING PROGRAM TO MEET THE MARKET. YOU KNOW, HOUSING AFFORDABILITY IS A REAL THING. SO WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR THE TO GIVE THE BUILDERS THE FLEXIBILITY IN RETURN FOR INCREASED MASONRY STANDARDS, WHICH WE, YOU KNOW, WORKED ON THAT EXHIBIT IN CHART WITH WITH CITY STAFF. SO THAT'S THE WHOLE INTENTION OF THE THE AMENDMENT. BUT YOU ARE WILLING TO MEET WITH THE PEOPLE TO DISCUSS SOMETHING. SURE. SO COME UP WITH LESS OF CONTENTION WITH THIS. YEAH, I DON'T KNOW. 
          I DON'T KNOW THAT WE WANT TO TRY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION IN THE PUBLIC HEARING. YEAH. I MEAN, I, I CAN'T SAY I WOULD SAY WE WOULD PROBABLY I THINK WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS HEAR WHAT'S BEING SAID BECAUSE IT'S JUST A PUBLIC HEARING. AND WE'RE NOT AT A SPACE RIGHT NOW WHERE THE DECISIONS ARE ABOUT TO BE MADE. WE DO WANT TO HEAR WHAT'S WHAT'S ALL BEEN SAID IN 
          [01:00:04]
REGARDS TO THAT AND, AND THEN HEAR WHAT OUR STAFF MEMBERS ARE RECOMMENDING AND WHY THEY'RE RECOMMENDING IT. BEFORE WE GO INTO DIRECTING ANYTHING OUT FROM THEIR TO THAT POINT, IF WE WANT TO PROVIDE THE DEVELOPER THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THEIR RESIDENTS, WOULD WE LIKE TO LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AND THEN HAVE IT COME BACK AT THE FIRST MEETING IN JANUARY TO HEAR THE RESULTS? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND WHY THE STAFF IS MAKING THE RECOMMENDATION? YES, SIR. WHEN WE WORKED WITH THE DEVELOPERS, THERE'S A PRECEDENT SET FOR THIS WITH MONARCH RANCH, AND THEY ESSENTIALLY CAME AND ASKED WHAT CAN BE DONE. SO OUR IMMEDIATE THOUGHT WAS TO REFER TO WHAT HAD BEEN DONE PREVIOUSLY AND WHAT WAS A COMFORTABLE DECISION WITH ANOTHER SUBDIVISION WITHIN THE CITY, WHICH IS WHERE THE 20% OF EACH OF THOSE HOUSING TYPES CAME FROM. WAS MONARCH RANCH, ALSO CONSIDERED HIGH END. THEIR HOMES RANGE WITHIN THE 300,000, SO MID TO HIGHER END. BUT THEIR REQUEST CAME FROM, I BELIEVE 1600 DOWN TO 1300, AS OPPOSED TO 15 DOWN TO 1000. INITIALLY, THE REQUEST FROM THE DEVELOPER WAS 30% OF EACH OF THE HOUSING TYPES. WE CAME TO THE AGREEMENT THAT THAT WAS A LITTLE MUCH, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT ESSENTIALLY REMOVED THE ABILITY OR NOT REMOVED, BUT IT GAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETELY REMOVE 1500 SQUARE FOOT OR HIGHER DWELLING UNITS. SO AFTER CONVERSATION, THIS IS WHAT WAS MOST COMFORTABLE TO BE PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL. 
          OR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          BEING ON A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM NUMBER THREE. WELL, MOTION FOR BY COUNCILWOMAN MESMER.

          [4. Conduct a Public Hearing on the levying of assessments in the Mustang Valley Public Improvement District]
          [01:10:02]
IT UP AND RUNNING IN ORDER FOR US, THE DEVELOPER, TO HAVE COMPLETED LOTS THAT THEY CAN MOVE TO HOME BUILDERS. IT COMES TO ROUGHLY ABOUT $8 MILLION, OF WHICH WE ARE LEVYING $2.3 MILLION. SO THAT IS ASSESSMENTS THAT GO ONTO THE LAND WHICH IS PAID BY THE OWNERS. AT THE CURRENT POINT, THE DEVELOPER OWNS ABOUT 66% OF THE LAND, AND THEN 34% OF THAT IS ALREADY OWNED BY END USERS. SO EACH OF THEM WILL PAY THEIR ASSESSMENT OVER THE 30 YEARS, OR THEY CAN PAY THAT A PREPAYMENT AT ANY TIME. ALL OF THE LOTS ARE THE SAME SIZE WITHIN THE DISTRICT. 
          THE TOTAL ASSESSMENT AMOUNT IS ABOUT $17,000 PER UNIT, WHICH IS ABOUT $1,700. ANNUAL INSTALLMENT. THANK YOU SIR. AND YOU SAID IT WAS TWO POINT. HOW MUCH? TWO POINT. THE LEVY IS $2.3 MILLION. 2,366,000 TO BE EXACT. AT FIRST, IN THAT FIRST BREAKDOWN, IT'S GOING TO GO TO.

OKAY. QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS. TO THE CONCERN THAT WAS. THAT WAS GIVEN ABOUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO TALK ABOUT IT. IS ABOUT THE FLOODING. YEAH. GO AHEAD. IT TOO. IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT USING THE ASSESSMENTS TO HELP WITH DRAINAGE. IF THERE'S FLOODING ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES, CAN THERE BE SOMETHING PUT IN PLACE TO HELP PREVENT THAT OR LESSEN IT? SO. YEAH. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, MY NAME IS ANTHONY. I'M WITH KB HOME. I CAN CERTAINLY TALK TO MY DEVELOPMENT STAFF ABOUT THE FLOODING.

FROM PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, COUNCIL MEMBERS. NO. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM MR. BURRELL ON THIS ITEM OR. IF YOU DO, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK. I ACTUALLY WOULD LIKE TO ASK COUNCIL TO CONSIDER A POSTPONEMENT ON THIS ITEM SO THAT MORE CONVERSATION DISCUSSION CAN TAKE PLACE. BUT IF YOU DO WANT TO, THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION. BUT IF YOU DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS OR CONVERSATION YOU'D LIKE TO DO, PLEASE PROCEED. SO WE TAKE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR A MOTION. CAN WE, CAN WE POSTPONE AND THEN JUST ASK STAFF TO OR WE HAVE TO ASK IT NOW OKAY. MY QUESTION I GUESS QUESTION IS. CAN THERE BE A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE DEVELOPER AND THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE IN DISAGREEMENT WITH THIS SITUATION TO SEE IF THEY CAN COME TO SOME KIND OF HAPPY MEDIUM? THERE'S NOTHING STATING THAT THEY CAN'T. THE DEVELOPER CURRENTLY ACTS AS THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION WITH THE SUBDIVISION STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION IS NOT COMPLETED YET, SO TO THAT EXTENT IT WOULD BE UP TO THOSE PRESENT AND THE DEVELOPER TO FIND A TIME TO MEET AND DISCUSS, TO COME BACK WITH ANY POTENTIAL MIDDLE GROUND THEY MAY HAVE REACHED. THOUGH I DO HAVE A QUESTION. 
          EVEN IF THEY WERE TO MEET, HOW WOULD THEY SHARE THOSE FINDINGS HERE? IF THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED AND YOU WOULD NEED TO BE CONNECTING WITH THEM? OKAY, WELL, WE CAN CERTAINLY MAKE THE TIME TO MEET WITH BOTH PARTIES. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE IS, IS, IS GETTING THAT SHE'S SHE'S WANTING TO DIRECT YOU TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS AND SEE WHAT CAN COME FROM THAT, NOT NECESSARILY TO FORCE ONE THING OR ANOTHER, BUT TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT. YES, SIR. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. YES, YES. COUNCILMAN WALLACE. AND SO THEN WE NEED A MOTION FROM YOU IN REGARDS TO WHEN WE WILL COME BACK TO THIS. YES, MA'AM. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS, IF I THINK ALSO FOR CITY STAFF UNDERSTANDING, IF YOU ARE ASKING FOR A POSTPONEMENT, EITHER FOR THE FIRST WEEK IN JANUARY, THAT MEANS THAT THE DEVELOPER AND HOMEOWNERS WOULD NEED TO MEET PRIOR TO THE END OF THE YEAR, LIKE ON THE 29TH, SINCE THAT'S THE TIME THAT WE SUBMIT BACKUP FOR THE JANUARY 7TH MEETING. SO YOU MAY WANT TO ASK DEVELOPER IF THAT'S SUFFICIENT TIME. IF NOT, YOU MAY WANT TO POSTPONE UNTIL THE 21ST. THAT'S YOUR NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING. SO THAT AGAIN, WE HAVE TIME TO PREPARE BACKUP AND TO PREPARE THE ORDINANCE. THAT'S THE MAIN THING, IS JUST THE ORDINANCE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE ANY REVISIONS TO IT BASED ON WHATEVER THE DEVELOPER AND THE HOMEOWNERS PROVIDE CITY STAFF WITH ANY KIND OF AGREEMENT. 
          OKAY. OKAY, SIR. THERE YOU GO. OH, THERE YOU ARE. Y'ALL ABLE TO. ARE YOU ALL ABLE TO DO MEET 
          [01:20:01]
SOONER OR DO YOU NEED TO UP UNTIL THE JULY THE JANUARY 21ST DATE? I MEAN, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE MAKE THE ATTEMPT TO. OKAY. WE WOULD IT ALSO BE BENEFICIAL TO CONSULT WITH THE RESIDENTS IF THEY'RE ABLE TO WITH HOLIDAY AND TRAVELS COMING UP VERY SHORTLY? I THINK WE SHOULD JUST WAIT TILL THE 21ST. I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING. I THINK WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE GETTING FROM OUR LEGAL IS THAT YOU AND WE CAN DO THAT SO THAT WE CAN MOVE ON WITH OUR BUSINESS MEETING. AND SO WHEN CAN YOU BE ABLE TO. SO I THINK WE SAID IT FOR THE 21ST. YEAH. 
          AND THEN THAT'S THE TIME AMPLE TIME THAT WE, WE PROVIDE. SO WE GET A MOTION FOR THAT MAYOR COUNCIL I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE POSTPONE ITEM NUMBER 11 UNTIL OUR JANUARY 21ST, 2026 MEETING. YEAH. MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND I SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MASSACRE. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? NONE. 
          ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. MOTION PASSES, SIX ONE. WE'RE GOING TO

REGULAR AGENDA EIGHT 
          [8. Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding an Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 721 and Chapter 8 Offenses and Nuisances, Section 8.03 Sex Offender Residency, Changing Designated City Staff, Amending Variance Processes.]
CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON REGULAR REGARDING AN ORDINANCE. 
          AMENDING ORDINANCE. AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER SEVEN, 21 AND CHAPTER EIGHT OFFENSES AND NUISANCES. NUANCES. SECTION 8.03 SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY CHANGING DESIGNATED CITY STAFF. 
          AMENDING VARIOUS PROCESSES. YES, SIR. CHIEF MAYOR COUNCIL RYAN PHIPPS, CHIEF OF POLICE. WE ARE BRINGING BEFORE YOU A REQUESTED AMENDMENT FOR THE ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS SEX OFFENDERS TO APPEAL DECISIONS TO MOVE IN THE CITY TO YOU GUYS, WE'RE KIND OF DOING THIS TO CLEAN UP THE PROCESS AS IT CURRENTLY SITS. IT GOES BETWEEN THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH THIS AMENDMENT IS ELIMINATE THE CITY SECRETARY FROM THAT PROCESS, OTHER THAN JUST PREPARING IT FOR THE AGENDA TO COME TO YOU GUYS. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE SUBMITTED THIS AS A WITH RED LINES ON THE ON THE ORDINANCE. 
          AND SO I WOULD ASK THAT WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS ACCORDING TO CITY LEGAL THAT WE CAN EITHER ADOPT IT AS IT IS SHOWN IN THE RED LINES, OR WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO Y'ALL WHEN IT'S FINISHED, CLEANED UP, AND Y'ALL CAN APPROVE IT. THEN I GET THAT RIGHT. CLARIFICATION. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY YOU CAN EITHER ADOPT THE RED LINE AS IS AND WHAT WE WOULD DO, AND YOU WOULD JUST DIRECT CITY LEGAL TO PROVIDE A CLEAN COPY FOR THE MAYOR'S EXECUTION. SO IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH THE RED LINING AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CHANGES, YOU CAN TAKE ACTION TONIGHT. OR IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE CLEAN COPY, BECAUSE THE RED LINING, YOU MAY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, THEN JUST PROVIDE CITY STAFF DIRECTION AND WE'LL BRING BACK A CLEAN COPY FOR YOU TO TAKE ACTION. MY QUESTION IS, HOW MUCH DOES THE CITY SECRETARY PAY YOU TO GET THIS DONE? IS SHE BETTER BE A LOT? NO. IT JUST WILL CLEAN UP THE PROCESS FOR ALL OF US TO GET IT TO YOU GUYS. OKAY. WHERE WOULD THE PROCESS AND INFORMATION BE UPDATED? AND FOR INVISIBLE FOR INDIVIDUALS NEEDING THIS POLICY? I'M SORRY. ONE MORE TIME. WHERE WILL IT BE UPDATED AND POSTED? SO NO, JUST IN IN THE AVAILABLE ORDINANCES ON THE CITY WEBSITE. SO IF YOU ALL AGREE TO THE LANGUAGE IS IS GOING TO BE CHANGED WHEN THEY WHEN WE FIND OUT THAT THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE INTO THE CITY OR THE SEX OFFENDER COMPLIANCE PERSONNEL AT THE PD 
          [01:25:06]
IS MADE AWARE FROM WHEREVER THEY'RE MOVING FROM, OR IF THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF JAIL AND TRYING TO MOVE TO THE CITY, WE PROVIDE THEM WITH A COPY OF THE ORDINANCE AS WELL AS THE THE MAP THAT EXISTS THAT SHOWS WHERE THE BUFFER LINES ARE CURRENTLY SITTING. I'M SORRY, I'M ON MUNICODE. IT'LL BE IN. NOT ONLY WILL YOU HAVE THEY HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE. IT WILL ALSO IT WILL ALSO BE CODIFIED IN YOUR CODE OF ORDINANCES AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S ALREADY BEEN CODIFIED UNDER CHAPTER EIGHT. SO THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO BRING BACK AN ORDINANCE SAYING THAT WE'RE AMENDING CHAPTER EIGHT. YEAH, I'M DEFINITELY AWARE OF THAT. I'M ACTUALLY MORE. SO WILL THERE BE A LINK SOMEWHERE ON THE WEBSITE SO THEY CAN QUICKLY GET TO THAT INFORMATION? WE CAN PROVIDE THAT. I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD NORMALLY DO WITH AN AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINANCE. WE WOULD JUST PUT IT IN THE MUNI CODE AND HAVE IT IT'S SEARCHABLE THROUGH THROUGH THAT PROCESS. BUT IF THAT'S Y'ALL'S WISH, THEN WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A SEX OFFENDER TAB OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE CAN INCLUDE THERE THAT THIS HAS BEEN UPDATED AND THE PROCESS IS NOW CHANGED. WELL, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT I'M ASKING FOR. IF THERE'S A TAB AND IF THE TAB THEN WOULD LEAD TO TO THAT SO THEY CAN GET THE INFORMATION. THE TAB DOES NOT CURRENTLY LEAD TO THE ORDINANCE. THE TAB GIVES YOU A BRIEF SYNOPSIS THAT YOU KNOW. CERTAIN PEOPLE AREN'T ALLOWED TO LIVE INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. AND AND BUT WHEN THEY'RE MOVING HERE, THEY'RE EITHER MOVING FROM ANOTHER COMMUNITY WHOSE SEX OFFENDER COMPLIANCE OFFICER IS THEN MANDATED TO NOTIFY US THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO MOVE HERE. IF THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF PRISON, THEN WE USUALLY HEAR FROM A PROBATION OR PAROLE OFFICER THAT SAYS, HEY, Y'ALL NEED TO PREPARE TO INTAKE A NEW SEX OFFENDER THAT'S BEING RELEASED. AND THEN AT THAT TIME, WE PROVIDE THEM INFORMATION OF OF WHAT OUR ORDINANCE IS OR OUR OKAY, IF IF IT'S EASIER OR IF IT WON'T TAKE MUCH ON THAT TAB. 
          YEAH. JUST TO CONNECT TO IT MAKES SENSE. JUST SO IT JUST AN EXTRA STEP OF ALLOWING FOR WHAT SOMEONE CAN SOMEONE IN CASE SOMEONE OUT THERE DOES NOT DO THEIR JOB RIGHT IN COMMUNICATING. YEAH. AND SOMEONE IS HAVING TO NAVIGATE IT ON THEIR OWN. LIKE THEY'RE LIKE THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO. YEAH. AT LEAST THEN WHEN THEY GO TO THE WEBSITE FOR SURE AND WE DO ALREADY, I THINK THERE IS A LINK TO THE MAP WHICH WE UPDATE WHENEVER NEW DEVELOPMENT COMES IN. I WORK WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO ENSURE THAT IF WE ADD A NEW PARK TO THE CITY OR A NEW PLACE WHERE CHILDREN COMMONLY GATHER, IT'S DEFINED IN THE THE ORDINANCE. 
          THEN WE TRY TO UPDATE THAT MAP PRETTY REGULARLY. SO THAT'S LINKED ON THERE. SO ABSOLUTELY WE SHOULD JUST ADD ANOTHER LINK TO THE ORDINANCE ITSELF. OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS ABOUT THE THE ORDINANCE OR THE RED LINE INFORMATION. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE. NUMBER FIVE THAT ASKED IF THE INFORMATION THAT THEY SHOULD PROVIDE ANY OTHER INFORMATION REQUESTED BY THE CITY IS THAT ONLY FOR IF D IS NECESSARY WHEN THEY'RE REQUESTING A VARIANCE? NO, IT'S A IT'S A DIFFERENT SECTION. SO SECTION FIVE, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE SAVINGS CLAUSE I'M SORRY. NO. SECTION THREE. SECTION THREE B. SECTION THREE B. UNDER THE. YEAH. ANY OTHER INFORMATION REQUESTED BY PAGE TWO OF THE ORDINANCE. SURE. AND THAT'S JUST BECAUSE SOMETIMES THESE CASES ARE COMPLEX AND WE NEED TO DIVE INTO IT A LITTLE MORE IN PREPARATION TO QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE. SO IN A RECENT CASE, WE HAD TO DIVE A LITTLE FURTHER INTO WHAT ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE TO HAVE THIS INDIVIDUAL MEET THE THE STANDARDS THAT SHE WAS HAVING TO MEET. AND AND SO RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW, TYING UP SOMEBODY WITHIN OUR OFFICE, WE CAN MANDATE THAT THEY PROVIDE US WITH THE DOCUMENTATION THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. OTHER QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR EMOTION. OKAY, MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE. ORDINANCE NUMBER 811, AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 721 AND CHAPTER EIGHT, OFFENSE OFFENSES AND NUANCES, SECTION 8.03, SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY CHANGING DESIGNATED CITY STAFF 
          [01:30:03]
AND AMENDING VARIANCE PROCESSES. WITH CITY LEGAL PROVIDING US WITH A CLEAN COPY AT A LATER DATE WITHOUT A MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN MOSCOW. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. 
          [9. First Reading: Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding an Ordinance rezoning one (1) lot on 2.786 acres, more or less, and being TCAD parcel 236902 also known as 12725 US HWY 290, Manor, TX from (A) Agricultural to (IN-1) Light Industrial.]
MOTION PASSES SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU SIR. FIRST READING CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. 
          POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING ORDINANCE REZONING. MAYOR ALSO RECUSING MYSELF. ALL RIGHT. 
          SORRY. NO PROBLEM. THANK YOU. FIRST READING. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE ORDINANCE. REZONING ONE LOT ON 2.786 ACRES, MORE OR LESS. AND BEING PARCEL 236902, ALSO KNOWN AS 12725 US HIGHWAY 290 MAIN, TEXAS FROM AGRICULTURE TO IN ONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. YES, SIR. MAYOR. COUNCIL. THIS IS THE REZONING REQUEST FOR THE PROPERTY BEHIND ASCO PERTAINING TO EITHER POTENTIAL INDUSTRIAL LIGHT OR A HEAVY COMMERCIAL ZONING DESIGNATION WITH CERTAIN USES PROHIBITED. LEGAL COUNSEL HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY LOOKED INTO THE USE THAT WAS INQUIRED ABOUT EARLIER, AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE ALLOWED IN ORDER FOR THE TENTATIVE OPERATION THAT THE APPLICANT IS CONTEMPLATING. I DON'T REMEMBER WHO ASKED THAT QUESTION EARLIER. COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE, DOES THAT HELP? THIS IS PERTAINING TO THE 18 WHEELERS DROPPING EQUIPMENT OFF. HE HAD ACTUALLY ASKED IF THAT COULD REMAIN. I THINK SHE HAD SOMETHING ON THAT ONE, TOO. NO, I ASKED THAT ONE IF THE 18 WHEELERS WILL BE THERE JUST TO DROP OFF OR PICK UP. AND THE QUESTION ABOUT THE FIRE TRUCKS AND 18 WHEELERS HAVING TO GO IN THE SAME ROAD, SO I CAN PROVIDE A BIT MORE CONTEXT ON TOP OF WHAT MR. MOORE DID PERTAINING TO, I GUESS, FIRE ACCESS, FIRE SAFETY AND JUST THE TRUCKS GOING THROUGH THERE BEFORE THE PROPERTY IS DEVELOPABLE, AS MENTIONED BEFORE, IT HAS TO BE IT HAS TO HAVE ACCESS ON A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. AND WITH THAT, THERE ARE DESIGN STANDARDS AND WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION. SO IF THAT ISN'T MET, THE DEAL DOESN'T REALLY WORK. AND AND THEN IN REGARDS TO THE THE PETITIONERS REQUEST IN REGARDS TO TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL LEGAL COUNCIL MEMBERS LEGAL ARE SAYING THAT IF TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL IS A PROHIBITED OR IT'S REMOVED FROM THE ALLOWABLE USES, THEN THIS THE PLANNED USE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWABLE. YEAH. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK ON THE SUMMARY DOCUMENT, IT SAYS TO MAINTAIN IDEA. THE FOLLOWING USES ARE RECOMMENDED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE ALLOWABLE USES. AND SO TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL IS GOING TO BE REMOVED FROM THE ALLOWABLE USES IN THE CURRENT PROGRAM STATE. HOWEVER, FOR WHAT THE APPLICANT IS SAYING THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS, THAT LANGUAGE CAN'T BE REMOVED OR THEY CAN'T DO ONE. ONE OF THE USES THAT THEY BROUGHT TO THE TABLE DIDN'T I ASK, DID ANYBODY, DID THEY HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANYTHING IN THAT SECTION? YES. AND THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. THAT'S THE ONE HE SAID. AND THEN WHEN WE WERE YOU ASKED THE QUESTION AND THEY SAID ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL. AND SO AND IN THE INTERIM, LEGAL DOVE INTO THAT QUESTION TO FIND OUT IF IT HAD AN IMPACT OR NOT. YES, YOU DID ASK THAT QUESTION. SO UNDERSTANDING THAT INFORMATION FOR THE FOR, I THINK ONE OF YOU ALL ASKED WHAT WERE THE POTENTIAL USES, POTENTIAL USES WERE GIVEN. AND THEN IN REGARDS TO THE POTENTIAL USES TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL IS BEING HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT HAS TO BE IN THE ALLOWABLE USES FOR THE STATE USE TO BE PERMITTED. OKAY. SO IS THAT ONLY IF WE DO SEE THREE? CORRECT. SO IF WE DO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR, THEN IF YOU DO WHAT'S ASKED, THE MAJORITY OF THOSE USES AREN'T ALLOWED ANYWAYS. THERE WOULD JUST BE LESS STRICT REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF BUFFER YARD, LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING THINGS OF THAT NATURE. OKAY, LOWER DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS ESSENTIALLY. AND SO WHAT WAS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OVERALL? BECAUSE I SEE TWO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE ITEM. SO STAFF RECOMMENDATION WAS C-3 
          [01:35:04]
WITH CERTAIN USES REMOVED. THE ORIGINAL REQUESTERS INQUIRY WAS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. THERE WAS CONVERSATION GOING BACK AND FORTH AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS ITEM WOULD MOVE FORWARD. THAT'S WHY THE SUMMARY FORM JUST WASN'T UPDATED IN TIME. BUT WE WERE NOTIFIED CLOSER TO THE MEETING DATE THAT THEY WOULD BE PROCEEDING. AND THAT'S WHY THERE'S THE DISCREPANCY. SO AGAIN, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ALLOWS FOR THE THE TRUCKS. YES OKAY. THE C-3 RECOMMENDATION CAN ALSO IF THAT LIST OF USES THAT ARE PROHIBITED IS ALTERED TO INCLUDE IT OR I GUESS REMOVE IT FROM THE PROHIBITED USES. OKAY. SO WHAT ARE THE OTHER EXISTING EQUIPMENT PLACES. ARE THEY ALREADY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. AND THAT'S WHY THEY AT THEIR STREET LEVEL I BELIEVE ASCO MAY BE ZONED AG. IT'S THEM OR ANDERSON. BUT THEY HAD THEIR USE BEFORE THE ZONING WAS PUT IN PLACE. SO IF THE USE EVER WERE TO CHANGE THEY WOULD HAVE TO UPDATE THEIR ZONING THEN. BUT THE USE ALREADY EXISTED PRIOR. Y'ALL ALSO MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND EITHER IT'S RELEVANT OR NOT RELEVANT. CAN YOU EXPLAIN SO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP HAS THIS AREA INDICATED AS NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE? RIGHT NOW IT HAS INDUSTRIAL ZONING OR NOT INDUSTRIAL ZONING, INDUSTRIAL USE THAT HAS NOT BEEN REZONED BECAUSE IT'S EXISTED THERE FOR LONGER THAN THE FUTURE. LAND USE MAP HAS BEEN IN PLACE. THERE'S NEW KATIE, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST, AND THEN, BASED OFF THE STUDY THAT WAS DONE AND THE MAP THAT WAS CREATED, THAT AREA WOULD SHIFT MORE INTO A MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD SOMEWHERE WHERE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN WORK, HAVE MINOR SERVICES, SMALL PLACES TO SHOP, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, PER THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. SO WITH C-3, THAT WAS AN ATTEMPT TO KIND OF MEET IN THE MIDDLE TO ALLOW FOR THE USES CURRENTLY REQUESTED. BUT DOWN THE LINE IS, YOU KNOW, THE CITY CHANGES, GROWS, RESHAPES ITSELF. THERE'S ALREADY A ZONING IN PLACE THAT ALLOWS FOR THAT MORE RETAIL, CITIZEN ORIENTED USE ON THE SITE. SO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL FALLS IN LINE WITH THIS. MIXED USE OR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IS ALLOWED UNDER C-3 BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF OUR WELL, IT IS OUR MOST PERMISSIVE ZONING CATEGORY THAT ALLOWS THEM IN THE IMMEDIATE TERM TO DO WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO, JUST WITH HIGHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THE RETAIL IS ALSO ALLOWED UNDER C-3, WHICH IS MORE SO IN LINE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP THAN STRAIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING. SO THAT PUTS IT BASICALLY TO BE SAFE IF THEY JUST CHOOSE TO SELL THE PROPERTY. YES. IF THE OWNERSHIP EVER CHANGES OR THE USES EVER NEEDING TO BE ESSENTIALLY CHANGED, C-3 ZONING WOULD BE EASIER FOR WHOEVER THE OWNER IS AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TO COME BACK AND GET IT ZONED AGAIN FOR A DIFFERENT USE. AND THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IS THE TRANSPORTATION USE. THAT IS ALL THAT'S BEEN CURRENTLY MENTIONED, UNLESS THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE. SO SORRY I DIDN'T START WITH. SO ALSO I GUESS WITH OUR LAND USE MAP AS IT IS. PRIOR TO THIS, IT ALSO CAME WITH LIKE INSTRUCTIONS OR DIRECTIONS OF WHERE OUR WATER AND WASTEWATER LINES WOULD BE. IS IT IN THE CAPACITY THAT IT HOLDS IN THAT AREA WITH LIGHT INDUSTRIAL REQUIRE MORE OUT OF IT, OR C-3 REQUIRE MORE HOURS? LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TYPICALLY DOESN'T HAVE MUCH WATER USAGE. IT'S JUST EQUIPMENT SALES AND 
          [01:40:01]
RENTAL. IT DEPENDS ON HOW LARGE THE BUILDING IS, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES THEY HAVE ON SITE, RESTROOMS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS MUCH OF A USE AS IF YOU HAD, LIKE A RETAIL SHOP. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MORE THINGS THAT USE WATER. OTHER QUESTIONS? CAN YOU SPEAK IN REGARDS TO. BACK TO THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED A MOMENT AGO IN REGARDS TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THE INTENT OF MIXED USE DENSITY? AND. I GUESS OUR EFFORTS OR INTENT TO EITHER MAINTAIN THAT OR NOT MAINTAIN THAT IN REGARDS TO THE ZONING REQUEST OR JUST IN GENERAL FOR THE AREA IN GENERAL, FUTURE LAND USE MAP AREA THAT COVERS THAT AREA. AND THE I MEAN, WE HAVE PROJECTS THAT ARE PARALLEL OR ADJACENT TO THAT SPACE THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MIXED USE DENSITY. SO I WOULD LIKE TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND. SO NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE WOULD BE AT SOME POINT IF AND WHEN WE'RE ABLE TO ANNEX NEW KATY, YOU PROVIDE MINOR SERVICES SUCH AS FOR EXAMPLE, THE CELL PHONE REPAIR SHOP OR THE SHOPS THAT ARE BELOW THE BUILDING THAT MR. ERIC DAVIS IS BUILDING. THAT WOULD BE LIKE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USES THINGS THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN EASILY ACCESS THAT AREN'T A HEAVY BURDEN ON THOSE THAT LIVE THERE DUE TO HEAVY VEHICLE TRAFFIC OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE, SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN UTILIZE WALK TO, BUT IT ALSO FEELS AS THOUGH IT FITS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT'S PROVIDED BY THE COMMUNITY. I DON'T THINK THAT IS MAYBE I ASKED MY QUESTION WRONG. THAT AREA, THE FRONTAGE IS COMMERCIAL. BEHIND THE COMMERCIAL INTENT WAS MIXED USE DENSITY. AND SO I GUESS FOR MY ASKING, WHAT I'M ASKING IS. ARE WHAT ARE OUR CONVERSATIONS IN REGARDS TO THE LANDOWNERS AND DEVELOPERS AND PEOPLE IN THAT AREA IN REGARDS TO OUR VISION FOR FOR THAT SPACE? ARE WE HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS OR, OR WHAT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT OR WHAT WAS OFFERED AND COMMUNICATED DURING THAT TIME PERIOD? WE WHENEVER WE HAVE ANY ZONING CASE, WE'LL BRING UP THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP JUST SO THAT WE CAN MAKE THEM AWARE OF WHAT THE INTENT FOR THE SPACE IS. AND THAT'S ULTIMATELY HOW WE CAME TO THE DECISION FOR C-3, BECAUSE IT WAS THE CLOSEST THING WE COULD GET WHILE STILL BEING AT A MIDDLE GROUND WITH WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING. BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION DIRECTLY, YES, WE DO BRING UP THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, WHAT THE INTENT FOR THE SPACE IS AND OUR INTENT TO MEET MEET IT. FROM THERE, IT'S UP TO THE DISCRETION OF THE APPLICANT AND THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE HOW WE GET THERE. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY COMMENT BECAUSE YOU KIND OF PUT ME SET ME BACK WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE BACK. AND I GUESS THE FACT THAT. IT'S IRRELEVANT TO THIS PIECE RIGHT HERE, I GUESS I KIND OF DON'T FEEL AS COMFORTABLE MAKING A DECISION ON IT YET WITHOUT MAYBE UNDERSTANDING MORE ABOUT OUR CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND THEN HOW IT'S EVOLVED AND HOW IT IMPACTS SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT I MAY HAVE ALREADY THOUGHT, BUT AS THE MAYOR WAS SAYING, WAS LIKE PROJECTS THAT ARE RUNNING PARALLEL OR THINGS THAT WERE COMING IN AT THE SAME TIME. SO MAYBE I CAN HAVE MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT BETWEEN, I GUESS, YOU AND MR. JONES OR ECONOMIC PURPOSES TO. ARE YOU TALKING IN REGARDS TO AN UPDATE OR AN AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE 
          [01:45:08]
LAND USE MAP? I GUESS SO, BECAUSE I GUESS WITH CONVERSATIONS WITH THIS DEVELOPER, IT WAS UPDATED OR THERE WERE THERE WOULD BE UPDATES TO IT THAT I DIDN'T. I WASN'T REALLY TOO AWARE OF HOW THE DIFFERENCES WOULD BE AND HOW SUBSTANTIAL THAT WOULD BE TO. I'M TRYING TO THINK HOW HOW I CAN ADDRESS THIS. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS BEING UPDATED WHEN THE ZONING COMES THROUGH. THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS A GUIDE FOR HOW WE SHOULD TRY TO ZONE OUR COMMUNITY, AND THE GOAL IS TO ADHERE TO IT. THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE THAT DOESN'T OCCUR IMMEDIATELY. AND TO THAT POINT, IF FOR WHATEVER REASON, IT'S DETERMINED THAT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS NOT AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE, OR FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE GOALS OF OUR CITY CHANGE TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE ALTERED. THAT'S WHERE WE CAN RECEIVE DIRECTION AS STAFF TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES. AS OF NOW, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REVISITED EVERY FIVE YEARS. WE'RE NOT QUITE AT THAT POINT, BUT IT'S ALWAYS CAPABLE OF BEING BROUGHT SOONER, JUST THAT DIRECTION. BUT TO BE CLEAR, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP ISN'T CHANGING BECAUSE OF THE ZONING THAT'S BEING REQUESTED. IT'S JUST NOT IN LINE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. SO TO THAT POINT, IT'S AT YOUR DISCRETION WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN PROCEED WITH IT, RIGHT NOW. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR EMOTION. 
          OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR EMOTION. OKAY. IF WE WERE TO. PUT THIS FOR. C THREE. O, THAT'S THE ONLY PART WE HAVE TO CHANGE. THEN RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM. ALL RIGHT. I BELIEVE YOU'RE SAYING THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO APPROVE THE FIRST READING WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF C THREE HEAVY COMMERCIAL WITH THE LIST OF CERTAIN USES REMOVED EXCEPT FOR TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL. OKAY. WOULD THAT BE? COUNCIL MEMBERS IN YOUR IS IS ARE YOU ALL READY TO MAKE A MOTION IN FAVOR OR AGAINST, OR WOULD YOU LIKE MORE INFORMATION? BECAUSE WHAT I WANT OKAY, I'M JUST TRYING TO GAUGE YOUR SILENCE. SO CAN WE POSTPONE THIS ITEM UNTIL, WHAT, JANUARY 7TH OR JANUARY 21ST? SO JANUARY 7TH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE POSTPONE ITEM NUMBER NINE UNTIL OUR JANUARY 7TH. CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 7TH, 2026 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. MAY I ASK BEFORE THE MOTION IS COMPLETED, WHAT SPECIFICALLY WE'RE LOOKING FOR? THAT WAY WE CAN PROVIDE USEFUL DIALOG. I THINK WE'RE WE'RE HAVE TO GET SOME DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS AND GET THAT TO YOU. YES, SIR. WELL, MOTION BY COUNCILMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND I SECOND.

PROVIDING FOR RELATED MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 372 TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY. YES, MA'AM. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY THIS ITEM, IF YOU RECALL, WAS BROUGHT BACK TO YOU AFTER THE FOR AFTER YOU HAD THE FIRST PUBLIC OR A RESOLUTION APPROVAL DURING THE RESOLUTION APPROVAL TO HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TO THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH LEVYING ASSESSMENTS. THE DEVELOPER PROVIDED YOU A TIMELINE AND A PRESENTATION OF THE ITEMS THAT THEY HAD DONE THUS FAR. THE DEVELOPER, AGAIN, IS HERE TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY REQUEST OR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. WE ALSO HAVE YOUR PIT ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATOR HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE SAP THAT THEY HAVE, THE PRELIMINARY SAP THAT THEY HAVE DRAFTED, AND TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE FACT THAT WE'RE REQUESTING THAT THIS BE APPROVED BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR INSTEAD OF NEXT YEAR BECAUSE OF ASSESSMENTS. AND, ROB, PLEASE REMIND ME, BECOMES NEGATIVE AND HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS BEFORE THOSE HAPPEN. SO AGAIN, EVERYONE IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OR PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. COUNCIL MEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? YES. CAN WE GO OVER THE PRELIMINARY SAP JUST ONE MORE TIME? OVERVIEW. THAT WOULD BE ROB. DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER? Y'ALL? KNOW JUST A ROUGH OVERVIEW ABOUT THAT. THAT'S OKAY. SO THE SAP IS THE GOVERNING ONE OF THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS FOR THE DISTRICT. IT JUST IT OUTLINES WHAT THE DISTRICT IS, WHAT IT'S PAYING FOR, THE LEVY AMOUNT. IT PROVIDES AN ASSESSMENT ROLE WHERE ANY END USER WITHIN THE DISTRICT CAN LOOK UP THEIR PROPERTY AND THEY CAN SEE THEIR ASSESSMENT AND THEIR ANNUAL INSTALLMENT. IF YOU'D LIKE, I CAN GO OVER THE NUMBERS AGAIN OR. THE AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE DISTRICT IS PAYING FOR. IS THAT WHAT YOU LIKE? YEAH, OKAY. PRETTY MUCH NOW, UNLESS YOU HAVE. ANYONE THAT OKAY. IS THAT IS THAT SUFFICE FOR YOUR 
          [01:55:10]
QUESTION? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. WITH THE THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, THE THE MONEY OR THE ASSESSMENTS THAT YOU WOULD PUT BACK IN FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS. IF YOU DON'T NEED OR IF YOU FIND OUT THAT YOU THE COST YOU WENT UNDER BUDGET, WHAT HAPPENS TO LIKE THE REMAINING PART IS THERE IS THERE A REMAINING OR DO YOU SHARE. YEAH. SO WE DO PROVE UP ALL THE COSTS OF THE DEVELOPER BEFORE ANY FUNDS ARE RELEASED TO THEM. GENERALLY IN THAT INSTANCE IT'S CALLED AN UNDERRUN OVERRUN. WHEREAS IF THERE ARE COSTS THAT DID NOT QUITE MEET THE THRESHOLD OF WHAT THEY ANTICIPATED, THEY CAN TAKE THOSE REMAINING FUNDS AND THEY CAN PUT IT TOWARD A COST THAT MAY BE COST MORE THAN THEY ANTICIPATED. AND SO YOU WERE SAYING THE THE FIRST ROUND WOULD BE STREETS AND SOMETHING ELSE OR SIDEWALKS OR SOMETHING. 
          SO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE. YES, MA'AM. SO THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THIS FIRST PORTION OF THE DISTRICT FOR THIS IMPROVEMENT AREA ONE, ARE PRETTY STANDARD WITHIN PIDDS. ITS ROADWAY, ITS STREETS, ITS DRAINAGE, ITS THE WATER LINES. IT'S REALLY EVERYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE SURE THAT THESE HOMES ARE LIVABLE. AND THEN THE DEVELOPER, IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE IMPROVEMENTS, CAN ANSWER THOSE WITH MORE ACCURACY, I'M SURE, LIKE THEY COULD ANSWER HOW OVERRUN UNDERRUN, IF THAT'S EVEN POSSIBLE. OR YOU'RE SAYING THAT THEY'VE ALREADY DONE AND I CAN'T THINK OF THE WORD, BUT THEY'VE ALREADY LOOKED AT IT, PUT THEIR NUMBERS TOGETHER AND SAID THIS IS HOW MUCH IT WOULD POSSIBLY COST. WELL, IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE, MA'AM, I WOULD SAY THAT THERE'S NO ISSUE OF THE COSTS BECAUSE THESE THIS LEVY IS ONLY PAYING FOR A PORTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. IT'S BEEN ESTIMATED THAT PUTTING IN THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THIS IMPROVEMENT AREA ONE WILL COST ROUGHLY 8 MILLION. AND THEN THE DEVELOPER IS ONLY BEING REIMBURSED 2.4 MILLION. SO THEY WILL HAVE PLENTY OF COSTS. AND THE LANDOWNER AGREEMENT WILL BE FOR EACH. THE LEVY WILL BE ON EACH PROPERTY. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. EACH PROPERTY WITH THIS WITHIN THIS IMPROVEMENT AREA, ONE WILL BE ASSESSED TONIGHT IF APPROVED. OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

ACTUALLY, WE WERE LOOKING AT THOSE PROPERTIES AT MANOR COMMERCIAL PARK EAST, AND THEN WE AND THAT WAS BEFORE WE DID THE DOWNTOWN PLAN AND THE DOWNTOWN TERRACE NUMBER TWO. BUT THEN WE INCLUDED THE MANOR TOWN CENTER PROPERTY IN THE TOURS, WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE WE WERE GOING TO NEED TO DO A TOURIST REMAINDER TOWN CENTER ALSO. SO WE INCLUDED THAT IN THE BOUNDARY ALSO. THANK YOU.

          [14. Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a term sheet with Lanzola Development regarding a potential amendment to their development agreement.]
CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A TERM SHEET WITH LANCELOT DEVELOPMENT REGARDING A POTENTIAL AMENDMENT TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. YES, SIR. MAYOR. COUNCIL, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS A TERM SHEET THAT IS ESSENTIALLY A PRELIMINARY LOOK AT THE DEED AMENDMENT TO COME BETWEEN THE CITY AND DEVELOPMENT. IT OUTLINES THE ASSISTANCE THEY'RE ANTICIPATING WITH THE EXTENSION OF WATER SERVICE TO THE PROPERTY AND WHAT THE CITY RECEIVES IN EXCHANGE, AS WELL AS OTHER MUTUAL BENEFITS. THIS IS A PART OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT THAT'S COMING. NO, THIS IS ESSENTIAL. THESE ARE THE TERMS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED SO THAT THEY CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT, BECAUSE THERE IS ALREADY A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN PLACE. YEAH. THAT'S WHY OKAY. SO THIS THIS IS THE PART. SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT'S GOING TO COME LATER ON WITH THE AMENDMENT. THERE SHOULD NOT BE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE DEVELOPER AND CITY STAFF HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER ON. MR. MOORE CAN PROBABLY PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR MICHAEL OR THE REST OF THE STAFF. OKAY. NO, I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THIS WAS PART ONE OR PART TWO OF SOMETHING THAT'S COMING OR NOT. GOT IT. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. YOU WANT TO KEEP SPEAKING TO OR JUST TALK ABOUT THE WATER CAPACITY, PART NUMBER THREE. AND THOSE THOSE, YES. SO THEY'RE ANTICIPATING AROUND 500 TO 600 HOURS WORTH OF CAPACITY FOR THEIR SUBDIVISION. THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE ACTUAL HOMES THAT ARE IN THERE, AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL SCHOOL OR COMMUNITY SITE THAT ARE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROJECT. AND THE EXTENSION OF THIS WATER LINE IS WITH THAT IN MIND. SO THE CITY WOULD BE ASSISTING WITH THE ACQUISITION OF EASEMENTS, GRANTING THEM THE RIGHT TO CONSTRUCT THE LINE IN THERE TO ULTIMATELY PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE SITE. OKAY. AND THIS DOESN'T ALTER ANY OF OUR, ANY OF OUR CURRENT WATER WASTEWATER. PLAN PIECES, DOES IT? THE SUBDIVISION WAS ALREADY CONTEMPLATED FOR THERE. LUIS. THERE'S SLIGHT VARIATION JUST BECAUSE OF THE ADDITION OF A SCHOOL, WHICH WASN'T INITIALLY CONTEMPLATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT'S STILL WITHIN THE ORIGINAL SCOPE. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? THIS MIGHT BE FOR MR. MOORE. WHEN WE SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT THEM IN NEGOTIATING FOR THE TRANSFER AGREEMENTS, HOW WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT DOES THAT INVOLVE FROM FROM US CITY. THE SUPPORT BEING REQUESTED WOULD BE WORKING WITH AQUA SINCE AQUA IS THEIR THEIR TERRITORY AND THEY WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SERVE. AND SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SERVE, WE WOULD RECOMMEND THEY GO TO THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION TO GO THROUGH AND, YOU KNOW, TAKE AN EXPEDIENT PROCESS TO GET RELEASED ONCE THEY ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD. SO THAT WAY WITH THE WITH AQUA NOT BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICE GOING THROUGH THE PUC, THEY HIRED WATER 
          [02:05:03]
ATTORNEY WILL ALLOW THEM TO GO AHEAD AND EXPEDITE THAT PROCESS AND ALLOW AQUA TO RELEASE THEIR THEIR OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE WATER IN THAT AREA. AND BASICALLY JUST THE WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH PUC AND AQUA, BECAUSE THERE'S SOME OTHER AREAS THROUGHOUT NORTH OF 290 THAT WE'D HAVE TO ULTIMATELY WORK WITH AQUA MANVILLE. SO WE JUST JUST A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH, IF THEY CAN PROVIDE, WE LET THEM PROVIDE, BUT IF THEY CAN'T, THEN WE'LL WORK WITH THEM TO TO TO MAKE SURE THAT'S A GET RELEASED TO THE CITY. OKAY. THANK YOU. THERE IS NO OTHER QUESTIONS. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR? MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT THE CITY APPROVE A TERM SHEET WITH SOLAR DEVELOPMENT REGARDING A POTENTIAL AMENDMENT TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES SIX 115. CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION 
          [15. Consideration discussion, and possible action regarding a request to levy assessments for the Manor Heights Public Improvement District (PID) Improvement Area No. 5.]
REGARDING A REQUEST TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS FOR MARINA HEIGHTS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. 
          PIT IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. THE. WE HAVE HAD PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPER'S TEAM AND CITY STAFF, AND WE WOULD LIKE FOR CITY COUNCIL TO PROVIDE DIRECTION ON THE DEVELOPER'S REQUEST TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS ONLY ON PIT IMPROVEMENT. I'M SORRY, THE MANOR HEIGHTS PIT AREA NUMBER FIVE, AND WE DO HAVE THE DEVELOPER AND DEVELOPER'S TEAM HERE TO PROVIDE A PRESENTATION TO YOU ALL WITH REGARD TO THEIR REQUEST TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS. 
          HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS VANESSA SOTO AND I AM THE PIT CONSULTANT FOR THE DEVELOPER OF THE MANOR HEIGHTS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. OUR. AS VERONICA SAID, OUR REQUEST TODAY IS TO COME FORWARD AND DISCUSS ONLY LEVYING ASSESSMENTS ON IMPROVEMENT AREA FIVE OF THE MANOR HEIGHTS PIT. HISTORICALLY, WHEN WE HAVE COME FORWARD, WE HAVE MOVED FORWARD WITH A LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS ON THE PREVIOUS IMPROVEMENT AREAS AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY COME FOR A BOND ISSUANCE. IN THIS SCENARIO, WE WOULD LIKE TO DO ASSESSMENT LEVY ONLY AND NOT ISSUE PIT BONDS. THERE SHOULD BE A ONE PAGER THAT I BELIEVE WE PASSED OUT FOR YOU GUYS, WHERE YOU CAN COMPARE THE NUMBERS BETWEEN WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR A BOND ISSUANCE VERSUS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR AN ASSESSMENT LEVY ON HERE. WE BELIEVE THAT IT'S JUST FISCALLY INEFFICIENT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH BONDS BECAUSE THE COSTS OUTWEIGH THE BENEFITS HERE. HISTORICALLY HERE, INDUSTRY STANDARDS TYPICALLY NOW THINGS CHANGE. BUT TYPICALLY ABOUT $3 MILLION IS THE MINIMUM THRESHOLD FOR A PIT BOND. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CANNOT ISSUE BONDS FOR LESS THAN $3 MILLION. THAT JUST MEANS THAT ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, YOU NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE COST OF ISSUANCE. AND WHEN YOU GO BELOW $3 MILLION, TYPICALLY COST OF ISSUANCE SKYROCKET UP. AND IT MAKES IT COST RESTRICTIVE TO ISSUE THE PIT BONDS. THE SECOND ONE WOULD BE THE BOND ISSUANCE COST ON AN AVERAGE BASIS. I TELL MY CLIENTS, WHEN YOU GO TO ISSUE PIT BONDS, YOUR GROSS AMOUNT VERSUS THE NET AMOUNT THE DEVELOPER TAKES BACK AND REIMBURSES THEMSELVES FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE PUT INTO THE GROUND AVERAGES BETWEEN 15 TO 20%. NOW, FOR A LARGE PIT BOND, THAT'S A BIT MORE PALATABLE. WHEN YOU'VE GOT A VERY LOWER AMOUNT, THAT PERCENTAGE SKYROCKETS UP. COMPARATIVELY, THE AVERAGE COST OF ISSUANCE. ON THE OTHER PIT BOND ISSUANCES FOR MANOR HEIGHTS, IF YOU CAN SEE ON THE PAGE AT THE BOTTOM, THERE IS ABOUT 19.75%, 20% THERE THAT FITS WITHIN THE INDUSTRY STANDARD RANGE ON THOSE. SO TYPICALLY, WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT IF YOU LOOK AT THE COLUMN OVER THAT WOULD BE IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE. IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH PIT BONDS ON THIS, THAT COST OF ISSUANCE EFFECTIVELY SKYROCKETS UP TO 63%. SO IT'S A 43% INCREASE. ALMOST THERE. YOU CAN ALSO SEE IF YOU GO UP TO THE COLUMNS ABOVE, YOU CAN SEE UP THERE THE BOND ISSUANCE IS NOT ONLY BELOW 3 MILLION IT IS BELOW 1 MILLION. SO IT JUST MAKES IT VERY VERY LOW AND COST EFFECTIVE. SO WHEN YOU RUN THE NUMBERS ON IT, YOU'RE BASICALLY SPENDING $1 TO GAIN $0.60. IT'S NOT A VERY GOOD DEAL. SO DUE TO THAT, OUR THOUGHT PROCESS IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN ASSESSMENT LEVY ONLY NOT DO THE BONDS BECAUSE WITH ASSESSMENT LEVY WE DON'T HAVE ALL OF THOSE EXTRA COSTS. IT'S JUST A 30 YEAR REVENUE STREAM THE DEVELOPER COLLECTS OVER THE 30 YEAR TIME PRINCIPAL AND THEN INTEREST THERE. IT DOES STILL INCLUDE THE ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES TO COVER ALL CITY FEES AND THE PIT 
          [02:10:07]
ADMINISTRATOR AS WELL. AND SO YEAH, THAT WOULD BE OUR REQUEST IS JUST TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ASSESSMENT LEVY IN ADDITION TO THAT, BECAUSE WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH ASSESSMENT LEVY. 
          THAT DOES INCLUDE PUTTING THE LEVY STILL ON THE HOMEOWNERS OUT THERE. AND BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST IMPROVEMENT AREA, WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT, BECAUSE WE WANT TO TREAT ALL OF THE OWNERS AND THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THE MANOR HEIGHTS PIT THE SAME WITH THE SAME TAX RATE EQUIVALENT, AND KEEP THAT UNIFORM ACROSS THE BOARD. THAT WAY NO ONE'S PAYING MORE OR LESS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A SMALLER AMOUNT. SO JUST KEEPING EVERYBODY EQUAL IN UNIFORM THERE. AND YEAH, THAT IS THAT WAS OUR JUST DISCUSSION FOR YOU GUYS. ON WHY WE WERE REQUESTING JUST THE ASSESSMENT LEVY AT THIS TIME AND NOT GOING FORWARD WITH THE BOND ISSUANCE. 
          SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM OUR EXPERT. IF YOU COULD STEP FORWARD. IN YOUR OPINION, HOW WOULD THIS AFFECT US IN THE COMMUNITY DOING DOING THIS THIS WAY? DO YOU SEE ANY POSITIVES OR GIVE US THE GIVE US YOUR OPINION ON THIS PROPOSAL? WHEN YOU SAY THE COMMUNITY, ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE FUTURE RESIDENTS OF THIS FIVE. I WOULD SAY IN MY EXPERIENCE THAT IF YOU DO HAVE A PORTION OF A PIT DISTRICT THAT IS ASSESSED MUCH LOWER OR IN THIS CASE NOT ASSESSED, THAT CAN CAUSE ISSUES WITH NEIGHBORS, YOU'VE GOT THIS ONE PORTION OF THIS DISTRICT THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PIT ASSESSMENT, AND THEY MAY COME TO THE CITY AND ASK, WHY DOES THIS OTHER PORTION OF OUR COMMUNITY HAVE THE ASSESSMENT AND WE DON'T? SO I HAVE SEEN THAT. I FEEL DO YOU HAVE I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE. JUST I WANT TO I WANT TO KNOW. WELL, I WOULD NOTE THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES BOND ISSUANCE ATTRACTIVE TO CITIES IS THAT WHEN YOU ISSUE BONDS, YOU THEN HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROJECT FUND AND THE DEVELOPER IS ABLE TO BE REIMBURSED PRETTY MUCH IMMEDIATELY, GENERALLY WITHIN TWO YEARS, UNDER A LEVY ONLY STRUCTURE, THE CITY WOULD BE REIMBURSING THE DEVELOPER OVER THE FULL 30 YEAR TERM OF THIS FIVE. SO THIS WOULD CREATE A BIT OF AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON THE CITY'S ADMIN TO MOVE FORWARD IN THIS MANNER. I KNEW YOU HAD SOMETHING. THANK YOU. PAID COMMITTEE THAT Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY BEAT ON THIS ONE. YES WE DO. YEAH. OKAY. AND MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS JUST WE WOULD LIKE DIRECTION FROM FROM CITY COUNCIL. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY AN ACTION ITEM THAT YOU HAVE TO APPROVE. BUT WE WOULD LIKE DIRECTION. AND WE DO HAVE THIS ITEM FOR DISCUSSION IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AS WELL. 
          SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THE ONLY OTHER INFORMATION THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU IS THAT WE WOULD, DEPENDING ON EITHER BOND ISSUANCE OR LEVYING A JUST LEVYING OF ASSESSMENTS ONLY, OR GOING OUT FOR BOND BONDS. BUT AGAIN, THE REQUEST IS JUST TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS. WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU THOUGH, WITH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT, BECAUSE THAT THERE ARE CHANGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. AND WE ALSO NEED TO HAVE A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT IN PLACE. SO THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE AMENDMENT. IS A AN THE EXHIBIT TO THE AMENDMENT WOULD BE A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT AS WELL. SO WE CAN GIVE YOU DIRECTION AFTER EXECUTIVE. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS. OTHER QUESTIONS. IF NOT THEN CITY COUNCIL ARE 
          [EXECUTIVE SESSION (Part 3 of 3)]
NOW CONVENED TO EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 551, TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE. AND. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START WITH. WE
