ONE OF THEM IS A REVISIT OF CASE PZ-SUP 2022-50069 FOR THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ON INDOOR AMUSEMENT AT 209 BEDFORD ROAD SUITE 165.

WES, A STAFF UPDATE AS WELL.

REMEMBER, THIS WAS ON THE LAST MEETING'S AGENDA.

DUE TO ABSENCES, THE VOTE WAS TIED AT 2 TO 2.

WE'VE BEEN INFORMED BY COUNCIL AND THAT THAT INDICATES A NO ACTION VOTE.

SO IT IS UNFORTUNATELY BACK ON THE AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING FOR A VOTE OF MAJORITY IN EITHER DIRECTION BEFORE IT CAN BE SENT TO COUNCIL FOR ACTION ON THEIR PART.

SO, WES.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

YOU YOU DID PART OF MY PRESENTATION FOR ME, SO THANK YOU.

JUST AS A REFRESHER FOR THOSE, I KNOW EVERYBODY HAS SEEN IT AT LEAST ONCE NOW, SOME TWICE.

BUT THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED 209 BEDFORD ROAD, JUST A LITTLE BIT WEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF BEDFORD ROAD AND BROWN TRAIL.

THE USE IS CLASSIFIED IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE AS AN INDOOR AMUSEMENT.

WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING IS TO DO AN INDOOR GAMING CENTER, AND THE APPLICANT I KNOW HAS EXPLAINED THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL TO Y'ALL, BUT HE CAN ANSWER A LITTLE BIT MORE QUESTIONS AS WELL.

THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO HEARD YOUR CONCERNS FROM THE PAST TWO MEETINGS NOW AND HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION TO PROVIDE YOU IN HOPES OF SWAYING YOUR VOTE.

SO REAL QUICKLY, WHAT I WILL DO IS JUST GO THROUGH, I KNOW I'VE DONE THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT LET ME JUST DO IT AGAIN.

FOR THE RECORD, IT IS A 1300 SQUARE FOOT SUITE.

AGAIN, IT IS AN INDOOR AMUSEMENT CENTER, AND IT'S FOR PLAYSTATIONS AND OTHER GAMING DEVICES.

ON THE 22ND, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION CONDUCTED THEIR PUBLIC HEARING.

YOU TABLED IT AT THAT MEETING TO ALLOW TIME TO CONSIDER, TO COME UP WITH, TO WORK WITH STAFF AND THE APPLICANT TO COME UP WITH ADDITIONS OR CONDITIONS THAT WOULD HELP YOU ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE VOICED THAT SEPTEMBER 22ND MEETING.

ON OCTOBER 13TH, WE HAD A ANOTHER MEETING SINCE THERE WAS AN EVEN NUMBER OF COMMISSIONERS, THERE WAS A TIE.

AND SO THAT ESSENTIALLY MEANS NO VOTE.

JUST SO YA'LL ARE AWARE, CITY COUNCIL CANNOT ACT ON A ZONING REQUEST, SUP REQUESTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WITHOUT A FULL RECOMMENDATION FROM THIS BOARD.

[00:05:06]

SO THAT'S WHY THIS HAS COME BACK AND IT'S BACK ON YOUR AGENDA FOR THE THIRD TIME.

TO REPEAT SOME OF THOSE CONDITIONS THAT STAFF HAS COME UP WITH.

ONE IS THAT THE BUSINESS HOURS BE LIMITED TO 10 A.M.

TO MIDNIGHT. SECOND ONE IS THAT MINORS SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A LEGAL GUARDIAN BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10 P.M.

AND MIDNIGHT. AND THEN THE THIRD ONE IS THAT IF TOURNAMENTS ARE BEING HELD PAST MIDNIGHT, THE BUSINESS OWNER NEEDS TO HIRE A LICENSED PEACE OFFICER TO BE PRESENT DURING THOSE HOURS OF MIDNIGHT AND 10 A.M.

TWO OTHER CONCERNS THAT THE COMMISSION HAD AT THEIR SEPTEMBER 22ND MEETING WERE RELATED TO, ONE WAS RELATED TO ALCOHOL SALES.

WE CANNOT REGULATE ALCOHOL SALES.

THE ZONING ORDINANCE ALREADY REGULATES THAT FOR US.

SO ON PREMISE CONSUMPTION IS ALLOWED IF THEY GO THROUGH THE PROPER TABC CHANNELS.

SO THEY COULD APPLY FOR A TABC PERMIT.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF WOULD LOOK AT TO MAKE SURE THEY MEET THE LOCAL REQUIREMENTS OF.

AND THEN AS LONG AS THEY'VE SATISFIED ALL OTHER TABC REQUIREMENTS, THEY COULD OBTAIN THAT PERMIT.

ALSO, THE QUESTION OF FIREARMS CAME UP AT THE SEPTEMBER 22ND MEETING AND WITH FURTHER RESEARCH BY THE ATTORNEY, IT'S BEEN DETERMINED THAT STATE LAW REALLY PROHIBITS HOW MUCH WE CAN REGULATE THE FIREARMS. AND IF I SAY SOMETHING WRONG, I KNOW THE ATTORNEY IS GOING TO THROW SOMETHING AT ME.

BUT THE, IT WOULD BE UP TO THE PROPERTY OWNER OR THE TENANT TO RESTRICT EXACTLY WHAT FIREARMS ARE ALLOWED AND WHAT AREN'T.

CITY CAN'T ADD THAT RESTRICTION ON TO A ZONING APPROVAL.

WES. YES, SIR.

YOU HAD THAT THE POLICE OFFICER WAS TO BE THERE FROM 10 A.M.

TO MIDNIGHT. DID YOU MEAN MIDNIGHT TO 10 A.M., THE NEXT MORNING? YES. I'M SORRY IF I SAID SOMETHING WRONG.

IT SHOULD BE, IF THE EVENT IS HELD BETWEEN THE HOURS, OR IF THE EVENT IS.

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU GOT IT RIGHT.

I PROBABLY HAD IT RIGHT THERE AND I PROBABLY SAID IT WRONG, SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

SO. TONIGHT, YOUR PUBLIC HEARING HAS ALREADY BEEN.

YOU'VE ALREADY SET ASIDE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

YOU DID THAT ON SEPTEMBER 22ND.

SO TONIGHT, YOU ARE JUST DELIBERATING.

AGAIN, THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THEY WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU.

AND I'D ASK THAT EITHER YOU ALLOW THEM OR DENY THAT REQUEST, BUT YOU CAN DENY THAT REQUEST IF YOU SO CHOOSE.

YOU CAN JUST TAKE ACTION.

BUT SINCE THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, IT PROBABLY WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO ALLOW THEM TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU TONIGHT.

FIRST OF ALL WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO, IF I COULD, WITH THE FULL COMMISSION HERE IS, GIVEN THE THREE CONDITIONS THAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO REQUEST, THAT WES JUST REVIEWED AND THE FACT THAT THE ALCOHOL AND FIREARMS CONDITIONS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT LENGTH AT THE MEETING ON THE 22ND, ARE THERE ANY OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO DISCUSS AMONGST US AT THIS POINT BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER? ANYBODY HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON ANYTHING.

MR. JACOBSEN.

I RAISED THIS. I WAS NOT HERE AT THE LAST MEETING, AND I APOLOGIZE.

THE ISSUE THAT I HAD WAS I HAD LOOKED AT THE INCIDENT REPORT FOR THE BEDFORD POLICE DEPARTMENT.

AND MY CONCERN IS, AS I LOOK AT THE APPLICATION, IS THAT THIS AREA HAS A HIGHER CRIME RATE INCIDENCE OF SEVERAL AREAS THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT, BURGLARY, SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ROBBERY.

AND THAT'S THE CONCERN THAT I'M COMING FORWARD WITH.

AND I'LL VOTE ON WHETHER THEY PROVIDE A PEACE OFFICER OR WHETHER THE BEDFORD POLICE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT.

SO THAT'S AN ISSUE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

WELL, AND THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

AND HOPEFULLY AN OPEN BUSINESS INSTEAD OF A VACANT SPOT MIGHT ACTUALLY HELP SOME OF THAT IN ITSELF.

ANOTHER COMMISSIONER HAVE THOUGHTS, COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO FORWARD.

MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY A ZONING ISSUE, AND I'M GOING TO KIND OF ADDRESS THIS TO WES.

BEFORE THE, LET'S JUST SAY IT WAS APPROVED.

IT STILL HAS TO GET A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY AND PASS ALL CODE ENFORCEMENT AND SO ON AND SO FORTH IN ORDER FOR THE APPLICANT TO MOVE IN, CORRECT? YES, SIR. SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS, LET'S MAKE THE ASSUMPTION THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THIS APPLICATION, AND THE NEXT STEP IS THAT WE WILL GO, AND THEY'VE ALREADY MADE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY APPLICATION.

STAFF HAS NOT INSPECTED ANYTHING AND INSPECTIONS ARE A PART OF THAT CO APPLICATION.

SO YEAH, IF THERE'S ANY LIFE SAFETY ISSUES, CODE VIOLATIONS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED FOR THEM TO SAFELY OCCUPY THE BUILDING, THAT WILL HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED PRIOR TO PASSING THE CO AND BE ABLE TO OPERATE TO THE PUBLIC IN THERE.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE LANDLORD HAVING TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE CONDITIONS.

AND IF HE DIDN'T DO THAT, THEN OCCUPANCY WOULDN'T HAPPEN.

I'M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND SPECIFY WHO'S RESPONSIBILITY THAT WOULD BE.

IN SOME CASES, DEPENDING ON HOW THEIR LEASE IS STRUCTURED, IT COULD BE THE TENANT, IT COULD BE THE LANDLORD.

[00:10:05]

THAT'S UP TO THEM. THAT'S SOMETHING THE CITY WOULDN'T GET INVOLVED IN.

OKAY, THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE.

JUST GOING TO SECOND KIND OF WHAT BRUCE WAS SAYING ABOUT THAT BEING REALLY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PEOPLE THERE.

AND ALSO, TO YOUR POINT, HAVING MORE EYES ON THE STREET, MAKING IT SAFER.

SO I THINK MORE OCCUPANCY RATHER THAN VACANCY.

SO I'M CURIOUS ABOUT LIKE IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A BUSINESS, WHAT WOULD BE THE OK BUSINESS VERSUS THIS ONE? SO I'M WONDERING IN THAT CASE, IF IT'S LIKE, WELL, THERE'S CRIME THERE AND WE NEVER LET ANY BUSINESS IN.

I'M JUST CURIOUS ON THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS.

THERE'S THE WHOLE ARGUMENT OF AN EMPTY BUILDING VERSUS AN OCCUPIED BUILDING YEAH, IT'S PRETTY EMPTY CENTER.

WITH THAT, MR. GUY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH US THAT WOULD BE, FURTHER? YES, SIR. THAT WOULD BE MORE THAN YOU'VE SAID TO US OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD WOULD BE HELPFUL.

AND I DO WANT TO APOLOGIZE THAT ADMINISTRATIVELY YOU WERE HERE FOR THE THIRD TIME, BUT WE JUST WANTED TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACE AGAIN.

[LAUGHTER] I APPRECIATE IT.

APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT IF YOU HAVE LEARNED ANYTHING IN THE, LET'S SAY, SINCE THE MEETING ON THE 13TH THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH US.

YES, SIR. DO COME FORWARD AND PLEASE RESTATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS SO WE HAVE THAT ON RECORD ONE MORE TIME.

IT IS BRYAN GREER, 1701 ROYAL LANE, FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, 752229.

AND SINCE THE LAST MEETING, WE HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE OF WEAPONS AND ALCOHOL.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW ANY OF THAT AT OUR ARCADE, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ON-SITE SIGNAGE WITH THAT.

AND ALSO WE HAVE COME UP WITH A EVENT PARENTAL WAIVER FORM FOR ANY MINORS THAT WILL BE OUT PAST 10 P.M. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FOR ANY MINORS.

AND ALSO AS FAR AS SECURITY PLANS, WE HAVE CONTACTED SERGEANT GEIGER OF THE BEDFORD PD AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DEPARTMENT FOR LICENSED PEACE OFFICERS TO ASSIST US, AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY HOUSE RULES FOR THE OFFICER TO WORRY ABOUT.

THEY WOULD ONLY BE EXPECTED TO ENFORCE THE CITY, STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS AS THEIR USUAL DUTIES IN THE PUBLIC IS EXPECTED.

AND SINCE THE LAST MEETING ALSO WE HAVE INSTALLED FOUR CAMERAS ON SITE AT OUR ARCADE.

AND ALSO WE HAVE COME UP WITH A GAMER'S CREED WHICH IS GOING TO BE A CODE OF CONDUCT THAT EVERY PERSON THAT COMES INTO OUR ARCADE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AND ALSO SIGN A WAIVER FOR, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW ANY KIND OF SHENANIGANS OR NONSENSE AT THE ARCADE. AND ALSO, SINCE THE LAST MEETING, WE HAVE COME UP WITH THE COMBAT ARCADE DISCLAIMER AND LEGAL NOTICE, WHICH IS, ANY MEMBER WILL HAVE TO SIGN A WAIVER LETTING US KNOW THAT ANY HAZARDOUS OR DANGEROUS ACTIONS THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND WE ARE A SAFE BUSINESS. AND ALSO WE WILL HAVE A WAIVER FOR MINORS AND FOR ANY PERSON WHO COMES IN THE ARCADE THAT WILL HAVE TO SIGN LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE ARE A BUSINESS THAT IS UP TO PAR.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS.

COMMISSIONERS.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I'D LIKE TO ASK THE ATTORNEY AGAIN, PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT STATE LAW OF TEXAS STATE LAW SUPERSEDES ANYTHING.

IF THEY HAD A POSTING OF NO WEAPONS OR THAT WAS THEIR POLICY, STATE LAW STILL OVERRIDES THAT.

AM I CORRECT? WELL, I'M ASSUMING THAT YES, SIR. WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO, IS THEY'RE GOING TO POST THE STATE LAW SIGNAGE.

RIGHT? YES, WE WILL HAVE SIGNAGE CLEAR FOR EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE WILL NOT ALLOW FIREARMS OR ANY WEAPONS OR ALCOHOL ON SITE.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, I HAVE TO SAY, YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK SINCE WE SAW YOU LAST.

AND WE APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING AND UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERNS AT THE SAME TIME, PUTTING YOUR BUSINESS MODEL TOGETHER.

THANK YOU, SIR. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

[00:15:02]

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION AMONGST COMMISSIONERS.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

AND I'LL HELP WITH CONDITIONS IF WE GET TO THAT POINT.

I'LL MOVE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE CONDITIONS PROVIDED BY.

I SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

TO CLARIFY, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CONDITIONS WILL BE AS STATED IN THE PACKET, BUT THE HOURS WILL BE 10 A.M.

TO MIDNIGHT. MINORS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A LEGAL GUARDIAN IF PRESENT BETWEEN 10:00 P.M. AND MIDNIGHT.

AND THAT THERE WILL.

THAT ANY PUBLIC ACTIVITIES THAT ARE HELD PAST MIDNIGHT, THERE WILL BE A LICENSED PEACE OFFICER ON PREMISES.

WELL, AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WERE GOING TO MAKE A CONDITION THAT THEY NEEDED TO HAVE A WAIVER FOR MINORS.

BUT THAT'S THE, YOU KNOW, MINORS WITH LEGAL GUARDIAN IF 10 P.M.

TO MIDNIGHT. THAT WAS WHERE WE WERE THERE WITH THAT.

SO THAT WOULD HAVE COVERED THAT AND THE PEACE OFFICER AFTER MIDNIGHT AND THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY MINORS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

THEY GIVE US, GET US THE WORDS INTO MOTION.

ALTHOUGH SCRAGGLY AS THEY ARE.

YEAH. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE WITH THOSE THREE CONDITIONS AS ON THE BOARD AND IN THE PACKET.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

OPPOSED. OKAY.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU, SIR.

A RECOMMENDATION WILL BE PASSED ON TO COUNCIL.

THERE AT THEIR NEXT MEETING.

THIS IS NOT ADVERTISED FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

THIS WILL GO IN DECEMBER.

DECEMBER. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO VISIT, YOU KNOW.

OR JUST DON'T THROW ROCKS.

WE'LL BE FINE. [LAUGHTER] OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GUYS.

APPRECIATE IT. OUR SECOND ITEM IS CONSIDERED ACTION ON THE FINAL PLAT FOR OAKWOOD HILLS.

[3. Consider action on the Final Plat of Oakwood Hills Lots 1-40, Block A and Lots 1 – 15 Block B consisting of 53 residential lots and 2 open space lots being 10.2744-acre tract of land out of the B.B.B. & C.R.R. Survey, Abstract No. 204, and being a replat of Tract A, Wesleyan Addition and Tract A, Concordia Addition within the City of Bedford, Tarrant County, Texas. (PZ-FP-2022- 500032)]

THIS IS CASE PZ-FP 2022-500032 AS IN OUR AGENDA FOR OAKWOOD HILLS LOTS 1-40 BLOCK A AND LOTS 1-15 BLOCK B.

STAFF. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSION MEMBERS.

BEFORE I GET STARTED REAL QUICK, I'VE BEEN ASKED TO REMIND EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONES.

I THINK WE'RE HAVING SOME PROBLEM PICKING UP SOME SOUND.

SO JUST A DISCLAIMER.

I ALREADY GOT A NICE LITTLE TEXT, SO THANK YOU.

SO, THIS IS A FINAL PLAT FOR OAKWOOD, WHAT'S COMMONLY KNOWN AS OAKWOOD HILLS.

I BELIEVE EVERYBODY'S FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH IT.

IN LATE 2000 OR 2021, THE PROPERTY WAS REZONED TO ALLOW THE 53 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS.

PRELIMINARY PLOT WAS APPROVED EARLIER THIS YEAR IN JULY.

JUST TO KIND OF, WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BLURB THERE ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS.

BUT LET ME JUST KIND OF GO INTO A LITTLE BIT OF DEPTH AS FAR AS WHAT EXACTLY IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING A PART OF THIS FINAL PLAT, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S, EXCUSE ME, THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS. FIRST, THE FINAL PLAT, AND I'LL JUST PULL THAT UP REAL QUICK.

AS PART OF THE ZONING APPROVAL, THERE WAS A TIA REQUIREMENT THAT WAS PLACED ON THE PLAT.

AFTER THAT, AFTER THE REVIEW OF THAT TIA, STAFF AND THE APPLICANT WORKED OUT SOME TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO NEED TO HAPPEN ON HARWOOD.

FIRST IS THAT THE MEDIAN THAT IS EXISTING JUST NORTH OF THAT AMBER LANE, WHICH I DON'T HAVE A POINTER ON HERE, BUT IF YOU KNOW EMBER LANE IS, IT'S KIND OF RUNNING RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THAT LOT THERE OF THE PROPERTY.

EMBER LANE, JUST NORTH OF EMBER LANE AND HARWOOD IS.

I'M SORRY, I SAY NORTH EAST OF EMBER LANE AND HARWOOD, THERE'S A MEDIAN THERE.

THAT MEDIAN IS BEING NARROWED TO ACCOMMODATE A TURN ONLY LANE INTO WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED AS WESLEY AND OAK DRIVE.

SO THAT IS PART OF THE TIA RECOMMENDATION AND THAT IS PART OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS ON THIS SITE.

WITH REGARDS TO, ALSO JUST REAL QUICK, THEY PUT IT IN MY NOTES.

[00:20:03]

I FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT TO MENTION.

THERE ARE TWO EXISTING TREES INSIDE THAT MEDIAN.

THEY WILL BE REMOVED AND THEY WILL BE REPLACED.

THERE'S ALSO A METER BOX AND A MANHOLE THERE.

THOSE WILL ALSO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED INTO THE NARROW MEDIAN.

SO ALL THAT'S BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

WATER WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS.

WATER SERVICES COMING DIRECTLY FROM A 12 INCH LINE IN HARWOOD.

SO THROUGHOUT THE STREETS IN THE SUBDIVISION, YOU'LL HAVE A EIGHT INCH WATER LINE SERVICING THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION.

AND THEN SANITARY SEWER IS BEING TAKEN FROM FOREST DRIVE.

IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, IN THE REZONING REQUEST, THERE'S AN UNIMPROVED RIGHT OF WAY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY CALLED WILLOW DRIVE. SO WILLOW DRIVE IS STAYING IN PLACE.

ALL THE TREES THAT ARE IN WILLOW DRIVE ARE STAYING IN PLACE, AND THEY ARE GOING TO ACCESS THE, A 12-INCH SEWER LINE THAT IS IN WILLOW DRIVE AND TAP IN FROM AN EIGHT INCH INTO THE DEVELOPMENT FOR SEWER FOR THE SITE.

AND THEN LASTLY, WHICH IS WHAT EVERYBODY IS TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE DRAINAGE ON THE SITE.

SO THE REQUIREMENT, THERE WASN'T A ZONING REQUIREMENT PLACED ON THE DRAINAGE, ASPECT OF THIS PROPERTY.

HOWEVER, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS BOTH WITH P AND C LEVEL, CITY COUNCIL LEVEL, REGARDING DRAINAGE OF THIS PROPERTY AND WHAT IT DOES TO DOWNSTREAM EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS.

SO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS THEY ARE PROPOSING TO SEND EVERYTHING TO THE DETENTION POND, WHICH AGAIN IS ON THE NORTH END OF THIS SITE.

THE DETENTION POND IS DESIGNED AT A TWO YEAR STORM.

SO JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE REQUIRE EVERYTHING TO BE BUILT AT A 100 YEAR STORM.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A TWO YEAR STORM.

SO IT'S A GREATER CAPACITY.

THERE WILL BE A 24 INCH LINE, PIPE, UNDERGROUND PIPELINE THAT TAKES IT FROM THE DETENTION POND THROUGH THE WILLOW DRIVE, UNIMPROVED RIGHT OF WAY, TO THE EAST AND TO AND FOLLOWS ALONG FOREST DRIVE TO AN EXISTING CULVERT.

BASED ON EVERYTHING THAT THEY'RE DOING, THEY ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT HAS BEEN ASKED OF FROM STAFFING.

THE CONVERSATION THAT HAPPENED AT COUNCIL AND MR. GALLENSTEIN YOU BROUGHT IT UP AT THE LAST MEETING, THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION, I THINK, AS FAR AS DO THEY HAVE TO DO 25% OR 20% OF THAT? IT'S 20%.

I'M SORRY, IT'S 25% AND THEY'RE DOING MORE THAN 25%.

SO THEY HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT STAFF HAS ASKED.

AND SO WE JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT, THAT THEY ARE THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR DRAINAGE.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, THEY'VE MET ALL OTHER SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND STATE LAW REGULATIONS REQUIRING SUBDIVISION OF PROPERTY AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

THANK YOU, WES. COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF AT THIS POINT? COMMISSIONER GALLENSTEIN. MR. CHAIRMAN. WES, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET AN ANSWER TO THIS ALL DAY, ABOUT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

THAT WAS A STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING.

BUT THE COUNCIL MEETING BEFORE.

AS YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION BECAUSE THERE WAS A STUDY DONE OF THE CHANNEL THAT GOES THROUGH RUSTIC WOODS AND THERE WAS EXPOSURE OF SEWER PIPES AND SO ON AND SO FORTH FROM THE EROSION.

AND, LIKE I SAID, I TRIED TO GET A HOLD OF CHERYL TAYLOR ALL DAY, OUR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, AND SHE'S ALSO A P.E.

AND WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE DRAINAGE, AND I VERIFIED THIS WITH A NUMBER OF PEOPLE, SO I DIDN'T HEAR IT.

SHE USED THE TERM IMPASSE AND THERE SEEMED TO BE A DEBATE.

SHE SAID 20% I KNOW THE MAYOR SAID 25, THAT IT SIZED OUT.

YOU'RE SAYING IT'S BEYOND 25.

BUT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, SHE'S THE ENGINEER WITH THE CITY AND WHAT THAT IMPASSE WAS.

YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE COGNIZANT OF THAT, IF YOU SAW THE MEETING, BUT SHE WAS UP IN FRONT AND AS IF THEY WERE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT.

NOW, THAT'S A FEW WEEKS BACK.

SURE. SO I DON'T KNOW IF SOMETHING HAS CHANGED SINCE THAT TIME.

CAN YOU SHED ANY MORE LIGHT ON THAT? HERE'S WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THAT.

AND CHERYL AND I HAD A CONVERSATION EARLIER TODAY ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND I FINALIZED MY NOTES WITH HER TO MAKE SURE I WAS ACCURATE ON EVERYTHING I WAS SAYING TONIGHT.

SHE DID SAY IMPASSE.

YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.

BUT THAT'S NORMAL.

I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS THAT YOU DON'T GET TO SEE AND BE THANKFUL FOR THAT, TO BE HONEST.

BUT THE, I MEAN STAFF, WHEN WHEN WE APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, THE VERY NEXT STEP IS WE SIT DOWN AND THEY SUBMIT THEIR CIVIL PLANS.

AND I THINK YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW WE DON'T JUST ACCEPT WHATEVER THEY GIVE US.

[00:25:03]

AND SO WE GO, WE DO A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH.

I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW MANY REITERATIONS WE WENT WITH THIS PARTICULAR CIVIL PLAN SET, BUT THERE WERE QUITE A FEW.

AND SO SOMETIMES WE GET TO A POINT WE'RE LIKE, THIS IS WHAT WE SAY.

THIS IS HOW, THIS IS OUR INTERPRETATION OF THE ORDINANCE.

THIS IS OUR INTERPRETATION OF GOOD ENGINEERING PRACTICES.

AND IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE YOU THAT ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL SAYS, WELL, NO, THAT'S MY, MY INTERPRETATION IS DIFFERENT.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IMPACT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT, BUT IT'S VERY COMMON TO COME TO THAT STAGE.

AND QUITE FRANKLY, WE COME TO THE STAGE AND SAY, IF WE'RE NOT WILLING TO FOLLOW WHAT WE SUGGEST, WE CAN TAKE IT FORWARD FOR RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL.

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE AS A STAFF THINK WE SHOULD DO.

AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE WERE AT.

AND I THINK THAT WHATEVER HAPPENED AFTER THAT COUNCIL MEETING, THEY HAD ANOTHER MEETING.

THEY WORKED IT OUT.

AND WE ARE HERE TONIGHT.

OK. I DIDN'T GET THE FEELING FROM HER COMMENTS THAT AND BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET TO TALK TO HER DIRECT THAT SHE FELT COMFORTABLE. THAT'S WHERE THE WORD IMPASSE COMES IN MY MIND.

YOU KNOW THAT THEIR ENGINEERS AND OUR ENGINEERS HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION, BUT THERE'S ALREADY A PROBLEM DOWNSTREAM, AS WE KNOW.

AND I'M VERY COGNIZANT OF THAT.

AND SO HERE WE ARE KIND OF AT THE FINAL, AND I WISH I COULD HAVE TALKED TO HER DIRECTLY.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS. I DON'T THINK YOU DO EITHER, OF WHAT SHE MEANT BY THAT.

AND I MADE REPEATED CALLS TO HER AND OTHER PEOPLE ON CITY STAFF TODAY TO TRY AND REACH HER AND WAS UNABLE TO DO THAT.

AND NOW SHE STOOD HERE AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE YOU ANSWER FOR HER, BUT SHE SAID I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THIS, THEN I'D SAY I'D FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH IT BECAUSE SHE'S GOT THE INITIALS BEHIND HER NAME THAT I DON'T, AND I DON'T BELIEVE YOU DO EITHER.

SO I'VE STILL GOT SOME QUALMS ABOUT THAT.

AND I WAS SURPRISED WHEN SHE MADE THAT STATEMENT TO BE REAL HONEST, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE CITY WENT TO THE POINT OF DOING A STUDY, BROUGHT IN A YOUNG GENTLEMAN THAT THE MAYOR TEASED BECAUSE OF HIS AGE.

SO I'VE JUST GOT SOME QUESTIONS.

ARE WE, KEEP IN MIND THIS STARTED BEFORE SOME OF US WERE ON PLANNING AND ZONING.

ARE WE STILL GOING TO BE TALKING OR HAS THAT BEEN DECIDED? LANDSCAPE PLAN.

PERIMETER FENCING AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

THE ZONING REQUIRED A MASONRY FENCE ALONG HARWOOD, MASONRY WALL ALONG HARWOOD, AND THEN THE ZONING ALSO REQUIRED YOUR TYPICAL SIX OR EIGHT. AND I APOLOGIZE.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT HEIGHT, BUT OF THE PRIVACY FENCE ALONG THE BACK OF EACH LOT.

AND THOSE WILL BE BUILT AT THE TIME OF EACH HOUSE THAT'S BUILT.

RIGHT. WELL, THAT CALLS INTO QUESTION AND I KNOW, IS THE APPLICANT HERE OR.

I DON'T BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE.

YOU KNOW IF YOU LOOK AT BANDERA, THERE'S AN EXISTING WOOD FENCE THERE AND WHAT YOU END UP WITH AND I'VE SEEN IT IN A LOT OF CASES, IS TWO WOOD FENCES AND YOU HAVE A RUN THROUGH THERE AND THAT BECOMES A RUN FOR FOR RODENTS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

I BELIEVE WHEN YOU BACK UP TO A BUSINESS LIKE, AND IT BACKS UP TO THE STORAGE FACILITY, I BELIEVE THAT'S EIGHT FOOT, IS MY UNDERSTANDING.

BUT YOU'RE THE EXPERT.

SO THE, BASICALLY, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GO TOGETHER AND CONSTRUCT ONE FENCE FOR BANDERA.

IT'S ALL GOING.

WELL THEY WON'T BACK UP TO BANDERA.

THERE'LL BE ABOUT A 30 FOOT WIDE, THAT WILLOW DRIVE UNIMPROVED RIGHT OF WAY IS ABOUT, AND THERE ARE TREES IN THERE AND THERE'S OTHER THINGS IN THERE.

SO THEY WILL NOT BACK UP TO WILLOW.

THEY WON'T BACK UP DIRECTLY TO BANDERA.

BUT THEY'LL BACK UP TO THE STORAGE FACILITY, RIGHT? YES, THEY WILL. AND THERE'S AN EXISTING FENCE THERE NOW, CORRECT? I THINK.

I'M GOING OFF MEMORY.

SO. YEAH.

AND FENCING TYPICALLY ISN'T SOMETHING WE GET INVOLVED IN IN THE PLAT.

THAT'S A ZONING ASPECT.

I REALIZE THAT. I'M JUST FAIR ENOUGH.

AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER.

YEAH, OKAY, FAIR ENOUGH.

OKAY. SO WES, IF I CAN SOMEWHAT SUMMARIZE AND OPEN ANY OTHER.

WES, ACCORDING TO YOUR NOTES, IF THE PLAT MEETS ALL PROVISIONS OF LOCAL SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENT CODE, THE APPROVAL BODY MUST APPROVE THE PLAY.

THAT IS CORRECT. THIS IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE.

THAT'S CORRECT. SO WE HAVE TO APPROVE IT? YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU.

WE APPRECIATE YOU GOING INTO THE DETAIL AND ALSO THE FACT THAT ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ON THIS PLAT, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE IMPORTANT, THEY ARE NOT FOR US TO DECIDE ON OR DISCUSS.

THEY'RE NOT ON THIS PARTICULAR PLAT THAT WE'RE HERE TO APPROVE.

[00:30:03]

SO I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION UNLESS THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE.

TAKE THE CASE NUMBER.

CASE NUMBER PZ-FP 2022-500032.

THE FINAL PLAT MAP FOR OAKWOOD HILLS.

I'LL SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

AYE. OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.

OUR NEXT ITEM IS FIRST OF TWO OF OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING RECOMMENDATION TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE EXISTING BEDFORD COMMONS PUD TO ALLOW AN

[4. Conduct a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to make an amendment to the Bedford Commons PUD to allow an expansion for an existing commercial building legally described as Lot 6R2 Block 1 First Bedford Addition. The property is generally located south side of L. Don Dodson Drive, approximately 315 feet east of Parkwood Drive, commonly known as 2004 L. Don Dodson Drive (PUD 22-1)]

EXPANSION FOR AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING ON LOT 6R2.

THIS IS CASE PUD 22-1.

WES. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSION MEMBERS.

THIS SITE IS NOT TOO FAR FROM US TONIGHT.

IT'S RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD OFF OF L DON DOTSON.

IT'S THE EXISTING REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS FOR LINK U, WHICH IS A TRANSPORTATION TRUCKING COMPANY.

AND IF I BUTCHER THAT, I KNOW THE APPLICANT HERE AND HE'LL CORRECT ME ON THAT.

BUT ESSENTIALLY THIS IS AN OFFICE BUILDING FOR A REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS FOR A BUILDING.

THEY'RE LOOKING TO EXPAND AND THEY'VE OUTGROWN THEIR CURRENT FOOTPRINT.

SO THEY'RE LOOKING TO EXPAND.

THE REASON THIS IS A PUD AMENDMENT, THIS WAS LOCATED, THIS WAS BUILT PRIOR TO BEDFORD COMMONS EXISTING.

AND SO THEY WERE KIND OF TAKING IN WITH BEDFORD COMMONS WHEN IT WAS CREATED.

AND SO IN ANYTHING WHEN YOU'RE DOING A SITE PLAN CHANGE IN A PUD, IT'S AN AMENDMENT TO THE PUD.

SO THAT'S WHY THIS IS A ESSENTIALLY A ZONING CHANGE.

BUT IT IS JUST AN AMENDMENT TO THE PUD.

THERE'S NO CHANGE IN LAND USE.

THERE'S NOTHING OTHER THAN JUST ADDING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT THEY'RE ADDING TO THE BUILDING.

THE.

ALREADY SPOKE AHEAD OF THAT, BUT THEY'RE PROPOSING A 5300 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION TO BE LOCATED IN THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND ADDITIONAL WITH A TOTAL OF 101 PARKING SPACES.

SO ADDITIONAL PARKING TO SERVE THE THE ADDITION.

SITE PHOTOS THERE.

AGAIN, IT'S JUST DOWN THE ROAD.

EXISTING BUILDING.

AS ALWAYS, WHEN WE LOOK AT FUTURE LAND USE WE DO, OR WHEN WE LOOK AT AMENDMENTS TO ZONING, WE LOOK AT SURROUNDING LAND USE.

IN THIS CASE, THIS IS A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.

IT'S A BUILDING ON A SITE THAT THE USE IS THE SAME.

THE USE IS ALLOWED.

THERE IS NO CHANGE IN USE.

AGAIN, IT'S JUST THE ADDITION OF THE BUILDING.

AND THEN THERE YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A SITE PLAN TO THE, AND I DON'T HAVE REALLY A POINTER ON ME BUT TO THE.

JOSE IS GOING TO BE MY VANNA WHITE TONIGHT.

TO THE, THERE TO THE SOUTH OF THE BUILDING IS WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO ADD THE 5300 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING AND THEN TO THE PARKING FURTHER SOUTH THAN THAT. STAFF HAS REVIEWED THEIR PLANS, REVIEWED ALL THEIR CIVIL PLANS, AND IT MEETS ALL OF OUR REQUIREMENTS.

SO THERE'S NO CONCERN THERE.

ELEVATIONS OF THE EXTERIOR, AGAIN, IT MATCHES THE EXISTING ELEVATIONS THAT ARE THERE.

AND WE DID DO A PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION BECAUSE IT IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING.

WE DID NOTIFY 16 OWNERS IN WITHIN 200 FEET.

WE PLACED A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY AND WE'VE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE REGARDING THAT NOTIFICATION.

TONIGHT, YOU'LL CONDUCT YOUR PUBLIC HEARING.

YOU CAN ASK THE APPLICANT ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ASK AND YOU CAN RECOMMEND APPROVAL, APPROVE CONDITIONS.

SINCE IT IS A PUD, YOU DO GET TO ADD CONDITIONS IF YOU SEE SO FIT.

OR YOU CAN RECOMMEND DENIAL.

I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

JUST TO CONSOLIDATE YOUR WONDERFUL PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THIS IS PROPERTY THAT THEY CURRENTLY ALREADY OWN.

IT'S A BUILDING THAT THEY ALREADY CURRENTLY ARE OPERATING.

AND WHAT WE'RE DOING IS CHANGING THE FOOTPRINT OF THE EXISTING PUD FOR, TO ALLOW THE EXPANSION.

AND THAT'S REALLY ALL WE'RE DOING.

THAT IS CORRECT. IT HAS TO BE CHANGED IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT TO BUILD ON THEIR PROPERTY, TO EXPAND THEIR BUILDING.

THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY.

COMMISSIONERS, QUESTIONS.

I HAD A QUESTION OF THE APPLICANT.

APPLICANT, COME FORWARD, PLEASE.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONER.

MY NAME IS JUAN VASQUEZ WITH VASQUEZ ENGINEERING, 1919 SOUTH SHILOH ROAD, GARLAND, TEXAS 75042.

I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE OWNER LINQ.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I JUST WANTED TO ASK THE APPLICANT HOW MANY TREES, I REALIZED, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE, THE BUILDING IS GOING TO TAKE UP SOME ROOM.

[00:35:07]

I WAS TRYING TO COUNT THEM AND IT GETS KIND OF BUSY ON THERE.

HOW MANY TREES ARE YOU REMOVING? AND THEN IT APPEARS THAT YOU'RE GOING IN, YOU'RE GOING TO, YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IN THREE RED OAKS, THREE INCH CALIPER, YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IN SOME DWARF, BURFORD HOLLY, SOME SEASONAL COLOR AND SOME SOD AND SO ON.

CAN YOU GIVE ME A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON THAT, WHAT YOU'RE TAKING OUT? YES, THERE ARE SEVERAL TREES THAT ARE LOCATED BEHIND THE PROPERTY WHERE THE PARKING IS GOING TO GO, BECAUSE WITH THE BUILDING EXPANSION, WE'RE GOING TO NEED ADDITIONAL PARKING.

THEY GO HAND IN HAND TOGETHER.

AND SO THOSE ARE BEING REMOVED.

AND THEN WE'RE PLANTING BACK WHATEVER'S REQUIRED BY BY ORDINANCE.

WE'RE ALSO LIMITED ON THE BACK THERE WITH WHAT WE CAN PLANT BECAUSE THERE IS A 50 FOOT WIDE PETROLEUM OIL EASEMENT BACK AT THE BACK THERE.

SO WE REALLY CAN'T PLANT BACK THERE.

THERE'S ONLY SPECIFIC AREAS WHERE WE HAVE LITTLE SLIVERS WE CAN PLANT SOME TREES, SO WE'RE KIND OF LIMITED BACK THERE IN THE BACK.

SO THE SITE ITSELF LIMITS YOU TO WHAT YOU CAN DO.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU KIND OF NERVOUS TO BUILD A PARKING LOT OVER ALL THOSE EASEMENTS? OH, YOU KNOW, WE JUST FOLLOW THEIR RULES.

THEY HAVE CERTAIN RULES ON YOU HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY OPENINGS AND WE HAVE SO MANY FEET AWAY FROM THEIR PIPELINE AND STUFF AND ALL THAT.

SO IT'S COMMON PRACTICE.

WELL, YOU ALREADY HAVE PARKING BACK THERE ANYWAY.

YEAH. [LAUGHTER] SO WE WANT TO MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT HARD SURFACE AND LEGAL PARKING.

YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU.

YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY EMPLOYEES YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THERE? THAT I'M NOT SURE.

DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MANY EMPLOYEES THEY'RE GOING TO BE AT? AND SO THE EXPANSION WILL ALLOW THEM TO, YOU KNOW, PLACE ALL THE EMPLOYEES, SPREAD THEM OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE AND STUFF, BECAUSE THEIR OPTION WAS, THEY WERE LOOKING OUT OF THE PROPERTIES TO MOVE OUT JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST BURSTING AT THE SEAMS. AND SO WENT THROUGH DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF THE SITE PLAN.

WE GOT THIS TO WORK.

AND SO THEY'RE SATISFIED WITH THIS AND THEY'LL BE STAYING ON PROPERTY.

IT'S STILL GOING TO FILL UP THE PARKING LOT, THOUGH.

THEY'RE GOING TO FILL THE PARKING LOT. YES, SIR.

YES, SIR. LOOKING AT THE PLAT, I WASN'T REALLY SURE WITH A NEW BUILDING IN, IS THERE, IS THAT A WALKWAY THAT WILL CONNECT TO PARKWOOD DRIVE? IN BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS? OR IS IT JUST A DRIVEWAY THAT WILL EXIT TO PARKWOOD DRIVE FROM THE EXTENSION? WHERE EXACTLY ARE YOU SAYING, COMMISSIONER? YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE THE EXISTING BUILDING AND THEN YOU HAVE THE BRAND NEW ADDITION HERE.

WE'VE GOT OUR PARKING LOT BACK CIRCLING AROUND AND YOU GOT THE EXISTING FIRE LANE THAT EXISTS TODAY THAT GETS YOU OUT HERE.

SO THE EGRESS FOR ALL EMPLOYEES, WILL THAT ONLY BE ON L DON DOTSON OR WILL THEY BE ABLE TO ACCESS? WELL, WE HAVE A CROSS ACCESS HERE.

OKAY. SO YOU CAN GO DOWN TO THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT HERE.

AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE ACCESS THERE AS WELL.

OKAY. THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WALKABILITY IS ONE OF THE BIG CONCERNS OF OUR NEW TOWN CENTER. AND SO I WANT TO BE SURE, BY THE WAY, THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT ALL THESE NEW EMPLOYEES WILL BE ABLE TO PARTAKE OF.

I WAS IN THIS BUSINESS BEFORE.

THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL, SEMIPROFESSIONAL PEOPLE.

AND IT'S A GOOD, GOOD GROUP OF PEOPLE, A GOOD DEMOGRAPHIC THAT WE WANT TO KEEP AND BUY THE SERVICES IN THIS AREA.

THAT'S WHY I WAS HOPING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AS MUCH WALKABILITY AS I'D HOPED WITH RESPECT TO THE NEW BUILDING AND THE EXISTING BUILDING. AND IT'S A LITTLE, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT JUST BECAUSE THAT IS AN EXISTING DEVELOPMENT THAT'S BEEN THERE.

AND SO IF IT WAS BRAND NEW, WE COULD PROBABLY DO A LITTLE BIT MORE.

BUT JUST BEING EXISTING, YOU'RE KIND OF, YOU'VE GOT TO WORK WITH WHAT WE HAVE.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, SIR, VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

I DO. WAS THERE BEEN A PARKING STUDY DONE TO SEE ABOUT A SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT? WAS THE DAYTIME PARKING USE EXISTING? NO, WE HAVE NOT DONE ANY TYPE OF PARKING DEMAND STUDIES OR ANYTHING, BASED OFF CODE.

WE EXCEED THAT AMOUNT BY QUITE A BIT.

AND SO WE'RE, WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH PARKING HERE WITH ADDITIONAL PARKING WILL BE OVER 100 SPACES.

OKAY. I WAS THINKING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, SORT OF LIKE IF IT, ADDING MORE, IF THERE'S ALREADY ENOUGH TO NOT ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING.

OH, NO. THERE IS DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH PARKING RIGHT NOW BASED OFF THEIR CURRENT LOAD OF EMPLOYEES THAT THEY HAVE.

[00:40:03]

SO WE DESPERATELY NEED ADDITIONAL PARKING RIGHT NOW.

PLUS, TECHNICALLY/ THAT WAS MY COMMENT BECAUSE ACTUALLY PARKING ON THE DIRT BEHIND THE BUILDING RIGHT NOW.

YEAH. AND THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT LEGAL.

SO THAT MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE.

YES. THERE WERE EIGHT PARKING SPOTS AVAILABLE THIS MORNING AND YOU ADD NINE PEOPLE TO IT.

RIGHT. BUT YOU GOT FOUR OR FIVE MORE SPOTS IN THE BACK.

SO THERE WERE FIVE TRUCKS IN THE BACK.

SO. YES.

YES. AND THAT'S THE REASON THAT WE'RE HERE TRYING TO GET THIS BUILDING UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN MEET THE DEMANDS OF THE OWNER.

THANK YOU, SIR. THIS TECHNICALLY, PARKING SPACES ARE DRIVEN BY SQUARE FOOTAGE, NOT PEOPLE.

SO BY BUILDING THE NEW BUILDING, IT INCREASES THE REQUIREMENT FOR THEIR PARKING THAT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO MEET.

SO.

THE REASON WHY I WAS THINKING WAS BECAUSE IF THERE'S A SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT, IF THERE WAS A BUSINESS OR A BUSINESS IS GOING IN LATER, THEN YOU CAN SAY, WELL, WE ONLY HAVE A TON OF BUSINESS AT NIGHT AND YOU GUYS ARE HERE DURING THE DAY, THEN THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR SHARED AGREEMENT, RIGHT? AND I BELIEVE THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR, THERE ARE ALSO AN OFFICE BUILDING, WHICH I BELIEVE ARE ALSO OPEN THE HOURS THAT OUR CLIENTS ALSO OPEN.

SO. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF OR AMONGST EACH OTHER OR DISCUSSION? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

FIRST OF ALL, WE NEED TO DO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IT IS 6:41.

WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE RECOMMENDATION TO REZONE THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOT 1 BLOCK 7 CANTERBURY ADDITION, FROM THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT/SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

OOPS, I'M READING THE WRONG ONE.

EXCUSE ME. THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE BEDFORD COMMONS PUD TO ALLOW AN EXPANSION FOR AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT 6R2 BLOCK 1 FIRST BEDFORD ADDITION, CASE PUD 22-1.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO COMMISSION? ANY THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY COMMENTS.

ALL RIGHT, I HAD ANOTHER ONE.

WES, ARE WE ALLOWED TO ASK ON A CONDITION IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE DRAINAGE AND OTHER THINGS GOING IN THAT DIRECTION? ARE WE ALLOWED TO REQUIRE A CONDITION FOR NATIVE PLANTS ONLY TO BE PLANTED SO WE'RE NOT GETTING MORE CRAPE MYRTLES AND INVASIVE STUFF, THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BREAK UP THE AREA? I MAY HAVE TO RELY ON THE ATTORNEY ON THAT ONE.

IF THEY ARE MEETING, THIS IS A PUD ADMIT, AND THEY'RE MEETING OUR LANDSCAPE STANDARDS.

CAN WE ADD, EXCUSE ME, ADD AN ADDITIONAL CONDITION THAT THEY ONLY PLANT NATIVE PLANTS.

CAN WE CHANGE THAT? THEN WHAT'S.

SO THAT COULD BE AN OPTION THAT YOU COULD, YOU COULD APPROVE WITH CONDITION THAT THEY REVISE THEIR LANDSCAPE PLAN TO HAVE ONLY NATIVE PLANTING MATERIAL.

ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYONE.

IT IS NOW 6:43.

I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON PUD 22-1.

DO I HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONERS.

YES. I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT PUD 22-1. I SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

OPPOSED. ANYONE OPPOSED.

NO, THAT'S FINE. THAT'S FINE.

OKAY. THIS WILL BE REFERRED TO COUNCIL, THEIR SCHEDULE.

OUR SECOND ITEM IS NOW WHAT I TRIED TO READ BEFORE, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION TO RESUME THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOT 1 BLOCK 7CANTERBURY

[5. Conduct a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to rezone the property described as Lot 1 Block 7 Canterbury Addition, from Planned Unit Development to Planned Unit Development/Specific Use Permit/Adult Day Care Facility the property is generally located at the north side of Harwood Road, approximately 1,100 feet west of Martin Drive, more commonly known as 2701 Harwood Road (SUP-22-2). ]

EDITION FROM PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT/SPECIFIC USE ADULT DAYCARE FACILITY LOCATED NORTH SIDE OF HARWOOD ROAD, KNOWN AS 2701 HARWOOD ROAD, SUP-22-2.

WES. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSION MEMBERS.

THIS IS, OUR ZONING ORDINANCE DOES REQUIRE FOR AN ADULT DAYCARE CENTER TO HAVE A AN APPROVED SUP ON SITE.

THE, EXCUSE ME, THE APPLICANT, THE CLUBHOUSE FOR SPECIAL NEEDS, IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES TRAINING, ADULT CARE, NOT ONLY ADULT, BUT ALSO SOME TEENAGE CARE IN THERE.

[00:45:04]

THE REASON WE CLASSIFY THIS USE AS AN ADULT DAYCARE IS THAT WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND WHAT THE ORDINANCE, HOW OUR ORDINANCE USE IS LAID OUT, THIS WAS THE BEST MATCH.

SO THAT'S WHY, IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY THIS IS ADULT DAYCARE, THAT'S WHY IT IS.

AGAIN, THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES AN SUP.

THE ORDINANCE ALSO SETS AN ADDITIONAL ADDITION ON A CONDITION ON THAT SUP IS THAT THERE'S ENOUGH VEHICLE STACKING TO SATISFY DROP OFF SITUATIONS.

IN THIS CASE, GIVEN WHERE THE LOCATION OF THE SITE IS, IT'S TOWARD THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

SO THERE IS PLENTY OF STACKING AVAILABLE.

AS YOU'LL KNOW WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT SUPS, ESPECIALLY IN A BUILT ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THE SURROUNDING LAND USES ARE AND TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S COMPATIBLE. SO YOU HAVE RESIDENTS ON THE NORTH AND WEST SIDE, YOU HAVE A SCHOOL AND ON THE EAST SIDE AND THEN AGAIN RESIDENTS ON THE SOUTH SIDE, THERE'S A CHURCH FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY.
