REPORT FROM STAFF.

THANK YOU, MR. COMMISSIONER.

COMMISSION. THE THE APPLICATION IS FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM PRIMARILY THE PROPERTY ZONED LIGHT COMMERCIAL.

THERE IS A PORTION THAT'S ZONED HEAVY COMMERCIAL AND TO MD-4, WHICH IS A MEDIUM DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED PRODUCT.

ITS PURPOSE IS TO ALLOW FOR 106 TOWNHOMES AND SIX OPEN SPACE LOTS.

OVERALL DENSITY BEING PROPOSED IS NINE UNITS PER ACRE.

THE MEDIUM DENSITY, SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED DISTRICT IS AGAIN GEARED TOWARD ALLOWING FOR ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY PRODUCT, PRIMARILY TOWNHOMES.

THE INTERESTING THING, AND YOU'LL SEE A COUPLE OF THESE MEDIUM DENSITY APPLICATIONS BEFORE.

THE INTERESTING IN THIS CASE IS THAT IT IS A STRAIGHT ZONING DISTRICT, AND IT ALLOWS THE APPLICANT TO ASK FOR A FEW DEVIATIONS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND ATTACHES A SITE PLAN OR A CONCEPT PLAN TO THE TO THE ADOPTING ORDINANCE.

SO WHAT YOU APPROVE HERE TONIGHT IS ACTUALLY WHAT WE ADOPTED TO THE A PART OF THE ADOPTING ORDINANCE, AND IS WHAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO BE BUILT AS DESIGNED.

SURROUNDING ZONING AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS HEAVY COMMERCIAL.

MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY IS LIGHT COMMERCIAL TO THE TO THE EAST IS GOING TO BE CITY OF EULESS.

TO THE WEST IS GOING TO BE MEDIUM DENSITY THREE ZONING AND PUD ZONING FOR SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED.

THIS IS A CONCEPT PLAN THAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED.

FURTHER ON, YOUR ITEM IS ALSO PRELIMINARY PLAT.

SO IN THIS CASE, WHAT WE'LL DO, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, WE'LL ATTACH BOTH THE CONCEPT PLAN AND THE PRELIMINARY PLAT TO THE ADOPTING ORDINANCE IF THIS IS APPROVED.

I'VE USE THE CONCEPT PLAN JUST BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO SEE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND FOR EVERYBODY TO KIND OF GET AN IDEA AS TO WHAT'S BEING PLANNED.

THE DIFFERENCE IN LOTS ARE THE COLORS OF LOTS REPRESENT A FRONT ENTRY GARAGE VERSUS A REAR ENTRY GARAGE.

THE APPLICANT HAS ASKED FOR A FEW DEVELOPMENT STANDARD OR ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

I'LL RUN THROUGH THOSE REAL QUICKLY.

THE FIRST ONE IS FROM SECTION 4.8 C ONE, WHICH IS RELATED TO THE RATIO OF FLOOR AREA TO THE LAND AREA.

THE BIG CHANGE THERE IS THAT THE CHANGES FROM A 35% ORDINANCE REQUIRES 35% FLOOR RATIO TO 100.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 55.

[00:05:02]

THE SECOND ITEM IS 4.8 C TWO.

THE BIG CHANGE REALLY THERE IS JUST CONFIRMING THAT THE THE PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE WANTS TO CONFIRM THAT THE AREA, THE OUTDOOR OUTDOOR AREA INCLUDES THE RETENTION AREA AS WELL AS THE TRAILS AND THE VIEWS THAT ARE BEING DESIGNED THROUGHOUT THE SITE FOR UTILIZATION OF OPEN SPACE.

THIRD ONE IS GOING TO BE 4.8 C THREE, WHICH REGULATES THE LOT WIDTHS.

THE PROPOSED THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES 25 FOOT LOT WIDTHS AND THE PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE IS 22.

SO A DIFFERENCE OF THREE FEET.

THE THE FOURTH ONE.

I'M SORRY, I CAN'T COUNT TONIGHT. THE FOURTH ONE IS GOING TO BE 4.8 C FOUR, WHICH IS RELATED TO THE LOT AREA.

2200FT² IS THE ORDINANCE STANDARD AND THE PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE IS 1600 SQUARE FEET.

NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE LOT COVERAGE 4.8 C FIVE.

LOT COVERAGE IS NOT TO EXCEED 60 OR THE REQUIRED OF THE ORDINANCE IS THAT THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT EXCEED 60%, AND THE PROPOSED CHANGE IS 65%.

WITH MOVING ON, THE 4.8 C SEVEN IS RELATED TO SETBACKS.

PRIMARY DIFFERENCE THERE IS BETWEEN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK BEING 12FT IS WHAT'S PROPOSED.

THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES 15FT AND I BELIEVE THERE'S A TENT ON THE REAR BACK, REAR [INAUDIBLE].

I'M SORRY I CAN'T SPEAK. REAR YARD SETBACK.

THERE'S A REDUCTION FOR THE REAR YARDS FROM 10 TO 6FT IN SOME CASES.

THE LAST ONE IS GOING TO BE ON 4.89.

STILL, THE SAME PARKING REQUIREMENTS AS PROPOSED BY THE ARE REQUIRED BY THE ORDINANCE.

THEY'RE JUST MAKING SURE THAT THE GARAGE PARKING COUNTS IN THIS CASE.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED JUSTIFICATION AS REQUIRED BY THE ORDINANCE.

I'LL LET THEM SPEAK MORE TO THAT JUSTIFICATION.

BUT JUST FOR POINT OF RECORD THEIR GOAL IN REVISING THESE STANDARDS WAS TO ALLOW FOR A MORE WALKABLE COMMUNITY TO CREATE AN ALIGNMENT BETWEEN STANDARDS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT AND CURRENT TOWNHOME BUILDER STANDARDS, AND TO PROVIDE CLARIFICATION FOR THESE STANDARDS THAT HAVE BEEN UNCLEAR, WHICH HAS BEEN A COMMON THING WE'VE SEEN. I CAN POINT TO 2 OR 3 PAST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MEDIUM DENSITY ZONING WHERE THE APPLICANTS HAVE SAID THERE'S SOME THERE'S JUST SOME AMBIGUITY IN THE ORDINANCE.

SO A LOT OF THIS IS JUST TO REALLY CLEAR UP ANY OF THAT AMBIGUITY.

SITE PHOTOS YOU SEE MOSTLY FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE, BUT THERE IS A SLOPE TO TOWARD THE EAST OF THE SITE FROM THE WEST.

THE THIS PARTICULAR SITE DOES HAVE SIGNIFICANT TREES ON.

THEY PROVIDE A TREE SURVEY.

THE. ALSO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE IN THIS CASE THERE IS A MASONRY WALL THAT IS SEPARATING THIS SITE TO THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST.

WE NOTIFIED 66 PROPERTY OWNERS, AND AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I'VE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST.

STAFF FINDS THAT THE ZONING IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THAT PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IS ADEQUATE TO SERVE THE DEVELOPMENT AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

COMMISSIONERS. MR. CHAIRMAN AT THIS TIME WES BASICALLY WE'RE JUST APPROVING THIS THIS PROPERTY FOR MD-4 ZONING, AM I CORRECT, ALONG WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU? YES. OKAY.

SO THE THE THINGS THAT YOU OUTLINED, THOSE WOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED.

OR WOULD THEY IN OTHER WORDS THOSE EXCEPTIONS I'LL CALL THEM EXCEPTIONS.

WOULD THOSE BE INCLUDED IN ONE OR WOULD THOSE BE INCLUDED IN THREE? YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AGENDA ITEMS, THEY WOULD BE INCLUDED IN ONE.

THEY'D BE INCLUDED IN THIS ITEM.

OKAY. BECOMES PART OF THE ZONING.

IT BECOMES PART OF THE ZONING.

CORRECT. OKAY.

YEAH. BECAUSE THOSE THOSE STANDARDS ARE FOUND IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

ITEM NUMBER THREE IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, WHICH IS REGULATED BY THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.

COMMISSIONERS. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? I THINK AT THIS POINT WE WOULD ENTERTAIN THE PRESENTATION FROM THE DEVELOPER.

I BELIEVE WE HAVE QUESTIONS THAT WILL PROBABLY GO INTO THERE BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC HEARING.

THE DEVELOPER AND THEIR ENGINEER ARE HERE, SO I WILL INVITE THEM UP.

[00:10:03]

PERFECT. ALL RIGHT.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YES, SIR. MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY STAFF.

MY NAME IS JOHN DICKERSON.

I'M THE DEVELOPER AND THE APPLICANT FOR THIS PROJECT.

MY ADDRESS IS 8333 DOUGLAS, SUITE 1300, DALLAS, TEXAS.

WELCOME, SIR. THANK YOU.

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK.

I ALSO HAVE IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT MR. COLTON SMITH WITH SPIRES ENGINEERING, WHO'S OUR CIVIL ENGINEER.

WHO CAN ANSWER ANY DETAILED QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT COME UP.

BUT AS A GENERAL OVERVIEW IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK, BECAUSE MY VERY FIRST SUBDIVISION IN THE CITY OF BEDFORD WAS STONE COURT, AND I JUST RAN INTO MR. FARLEY, WHO IS A RESIDENT OF STONE COURT, WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY TO THE WEST.

WE'RE ALSO THE OWNERS OF THE BEDFORD SHOPS RETAIL DEVELOPMENT, AND WE BUILT THAT IN 2005 HERE IN THE CITY OF BEDFORD AND STILL OWN IT.

IT'S ALSO WHERE DICKIES AND WHERE RITA'S ICE IS, AND WE'RE ALSO THE DEVELOPERS AND THE OWNERS OF THE CVS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF BEDFORD ROAD WHICH WE BUILT CATTY CORNER FROM TRINITY, EULESS HIGH SCHOOL.

THOSE ARE JUST SEVERAL OF THE PROPERTIES AND PROJECTS WE'VE DONE IN ADDITION TO RAW LAND IN BEDFORD.

AND THEN WE'VE ALSO BEEN DEVELOPERS IN EULESS AND IN HURST.

SO WE WE LOVE THE MID-CITIES AND WE LOVE NORTHEAST TARRANT COUNTY.

WE WERE INVITED BACK BASICALLY BY THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS WHO WERE BEFORE YOU A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, I BELIEVE GETTING THE SPROUTS COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT APPROVED.

THEY DON'T DO RESIDENTIAL.

THEY HAD TAKEN A STAB AT RESIDENTIAL.

AND WHEN THEY WE'VE KNOWN THEM IN OUR PAST, AND WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT THAT WE OWNED THE BEDFORD SHOPS, THEY SAID, COME LOOK AT THIS.

AND WE BASICALLY JUMPED AT THE IDEA TO COME BACK TO BEDFORD AND DO ANOTHER RESIDENTIAL PROJECT.

THAT LEADS INTO THE TOWNHOUSE AND THE AND THE VARIANCES OR ALTERNATIVES, I GUESS, THAT WES PRESENTED.

SO IN PUTTING THE DEAL TOGETHER, WE WE TOOK BASICALLY THAT PANHANDLE AND RESIDENTIAL LAYOUT, THE 11.2 ACRES.

AND AGAIN, I'VE BEEN DEVELOPING IN THE MID-CITIES AND IN ALL OVER THE METROPLEX SINCE 1993.

WHEN YOU DO A 50 FOOT LOT, WHEN YOU DO A 40 FOOT LOT STONE QUARTER 40S, YOU DO A 40 FOOT LOT.

EVEN A 31FT LOT THAT I DID IN EULESS BEHIND GRUBBS CAR DEALERSHIPS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 183.

THOSE ARE VERY STANDARD LOTS IN A MULTITUDE OF BUILDERS HAVE PRODUCT TO FIT ON THOSE LOTS WITH THE STANDARD SETBACK REQUIREMENTS THAT CITIES HAVE HAVE EVOLVED AND HAVE PLACED AT THAT TIME, TOWNHOUSE HAS BECOME VERY POPULAR BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT ECONOMY.

TOWNHOUSES ARE MORE AFFORDABLE.

THEY'RE AN AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVE.

ALSO, LIFESTYLES AS SOME PEOPLE ARE MOVING OUT OF LARGER HOMES, LARGER LOTS, THEY STILL WANT TO LIVE IN THE AREA WHERE THEIR FRIENDS ARE, WHERE THEY'RE WHERE THEY'VE SHOPPED, AND WHERE THEIR PATTERNS ARE.

AND SO TOWNHOUSES BECOME BASICALLY A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE MOVING INTO A COMMUNITY MOVE UP AND SOME OF THEM HAVE KIDS, AND IT ALSO BECOMES A PRODUCT THAT PEOPLE CAN STAY IN THE COMMUNITY AND DOWNSIZE AND STILL HAVE THE PRIDE OF HOME OWNERSHIP.

AND OF COURSE, THERE'S A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, JUST LIKE THERE ARE IN EVERY NEW COMMUNITY.

SO WHAT THAT LEADS ME TO IS I WANTED TO FIND A BUILDER AS WE'RE WORKING WITH ANDREA AND WES FOR THIS PROPERTY THAT I FELT LIKE WAS THE TOP BUILDER FOR THE COMMUNITY, FOR THE AND I THINK IN THE METROPLEX I'VE DONE, I DON'T KNOW, PROBABLY A HALF DOZEN COMMUNITIES WITH DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES.

AND I'M VERY PROUD TO TELL YOU THAT DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES IS UNDER CONTRACT.

SHOULD THIS PROPERTY BE APPROVED TO BE THE HOME BUILDER.

SO WHEN WE GO TO DAVID WEEKLEY, WE HAVE KIND OF THE COOKIE CUTTER TOWNHOUSE LAYOUT.

AND DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES SENDS THIS TO HOUSTON, TEXAS, TO THEIR ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS.

AND THEY BASICALLY SAID, ONE, JOHN, IF WE COULD DO A FRONT ENTRY AND A REAR ENTRY TOWNHOME PRODUCT, WE'LL TAKE ALL THE LOTS AND THEN YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER BUILDER.

AND I LIKE THAT BECAUSE AGAIN, THERE'S ABOUT 4 OR 5 TOP BUILDERS IN THE METROPLEX, AND WEEKLEY IS THE TOP OF THE LIST.

I CAN NAME THE OTHER THREE IF YOU LIKE, ACTUALLY STARTED WITH THE OTHER ONE, HIGHLAND HOMES, BUT WEEKLEY WANTED IT MORE THAN HIGHLAND.

SO THEN DAVID WEEKLEY TOOK METICULOUSLY, TOOK BASICALLY OUR STREETS AND LOTS, AND THEY CAME UP WITH THE PROPOSED LOT DIMENSIONS AND ALTERNATIVES FOR THE REAR ENTRY LOTS, AND THEN ALSO FOR THE FRONT ENTRY LOTS.

AND WHAT THEY DID WITH THEIR ARCHITECTS IS BASICALLY DID CAR RADIUSES TURNING RADIUSES OF VEHICLES, SUBURBANS,

[00:15:01]

CARS THAT PEOPLE TYPICALLY LIKE TO DRIVE TO MAKE SURE THAT CARS COULD FIT INTO THE GARAGES AND DRIVE DOWN WHERE WE HAVE ALLEYS, COULD DRIVE INTO THE ALLEYS.

AND THEN THAT LED US TO IF YOU LOOK AT THE GREEN UP THERE ON THE ON THE PURPLE, IF YOU WILL, SHADED LOTS, THOSE ARE THE REAR ENTRY LOTS.

AND THEN THAT GREEN SPACE IN BETWEEN THOSE BUILDINGS IS WHAT, AS YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW, AND YOU'VE DEALT WITH CALLED A MEW.

AND THAT IS AN ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT WHERE BASICALLY THE FRONTS OF THOSE PURPLE TOWNHOME UNITS WILL FACE THAT GREEN BELT, IF YOU WILL, THAT MEW AND THEIR WALK UP WILL BE CONNECTED BY THAT PATHWAY.

SO A CAR COMING HOME FROM WORK WOULD DRIVE INTO THE REAR AND THEN HOPEFULLY ON A NOT WHEN IT'S RAINING ON A PRETTY NIGHT, THEY'RE GOING TO GO SEE THEIR FRIENDS, WALK WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS AND MINGLE, IF YOU WILL, OUT ON THAT MEW.

ALSO, WE'VE GOT THE LINEAR TRAIL THAT WE DEVELOPED IN STONE COURT OVER THE [INAUDIBLE] THE ARCO GAS TRANSMISSION LINE.

IT'S BEEN THERE FOREVER.

SO JUST LIKE IN STONE COURT, WE TURNED THAT INTO A LINEAR HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL.

THAT'S WHAT SEPARATES THE BLUE UNITS FROM THE PURPLE UNITS.

AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS ASKED US, BECAUSE WE DID DRC TOGETHER TO CREATE A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION, WHICH IS THE GREEN SLIVER IN BETWEEN THOSE BUILDINGS OF BLUE.

SO WE ARE PROPOSING PEDESTRIAN ACCESS FROM OUR COMMUNITY TO THE RETAIL PORTION.

AND SO REALLY, AS YOU KNOW, IN CALL IT SOUTHLAKE TOWN CENTER, WE HAVE BROWNSTONES AND THE SOUTHLAKE TOWN CENTER, I USE THAT AS AN EXAMPLE.

AND A MULTITUDE, YOU KNOW, IN EVERY TOWN THIS IS THE, THE, THE LIVE AND PLAY, IF YOU WILL, THE LIVE AND WALK IN THE EVENING TO, TO GO HAVE DESSERT OR GO TO A RESTAURANT OR GO TO SPROUTS AND WALK BACK.

IT'S PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY.

AND THIS IS THE INTEGRATION AND IT'S VERY POPULAR CONCEPT, AS YOU ALL KNOW AROUND THE METROPLEX TO BE ABLE TO WALK AND WALK UP TO THESE PLACES.

SO IN EFFECT THERE'S ALSO IS THERE A POINTER OR USE THE MOUSE.

YEAH. YEAH, YEAH, IF I CAN.

RIGHT HERE AS YOU ALL KNOW, WHEN YOU APPROVED THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, THAT IS A GREEN OPEN SPACE THAT IS ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE.

AND SO OUR PEDESTRIAN PATHWAY LEADS RIGHT TO THAT GREEN SPACE.

I'VE LOST MY MOUSE, BUT IT LEADS RIGHT TO THAT GREEN SPACE.

AND THAT IS WHERE OUR PEDESTRIANS AND RESIDENTS CAN WALK INTO THAT COMMERCIAL AREA.

SO WE VIEW THAT ALL AS, AS, AS AN AMENITY THAT CAN BE UTILIZED BY OUR RESIDENTS HERE.

AND THEN LASTLY, I'M EXCITED TO BRING RESIDENTS TO THIS AREA, 106 HOME SITES BECAUSE, WELL, TWO THINGS.

WE BELIEVE THAT THAT IT BRINGS IN NEW GROWTH.

IT BRINGS IN NEW PEOPLE TO THE AREA.

IT HELPS KEEP PEOPLE IN THE AREA.

AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT OH, ATTENTION HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE PROJECT ACROSS THE STREET THAT WAS DONE IN EULESS, IF YOU WILL.

AND OF COURSE, THEY TOOK OUT ALL THOSE APARTMENTS THERE AND WENT BACK WITH FOUNDERS PARK.

AND FOUNDERS PARK IS MUCH BETTER, I THINK, THAN THE APARTMENTS THAT WERE THERE.

I THINK THAT'S A MOVE UP FOR THE AREA.

WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PROPERTY VALUES IN THIS AREA BECAUSE WE'RE PROPERTY OWNERS IN THIS AREA.

SO THAT WAS A POSITIVE MOVE, AND I KNOW THE CITY OF EULESS HELPED THEM ENABLE THEM TO DO THAT.

BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT HOME BUILDER THAN WE HAVE.

THAT'S NOT DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES.

AND I WOULD SUBMIT TO YOU THAT WHILE DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES IS STILL IN THEIR PLANNING STAGE, THEIR TOWNHOUSES ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE OF A RESIDENTIAL LOOK TO THEM, A RESIDENTIAL HOUSE, IF YOU WILL, ELEVATION TO THEM AND BE LESS CONTEMPORARY OR LESS URBAN THAN THAN WHAT MEGA TOWNHOMES BUILT OVER AT FOUNDERS PARK.

I DON'T WANT TO CRITICIZE MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSING, BUT BUT OURS IS GOING TO LOOK AND FEEL MORE RESIDENTIAL AND MORE CONDUCIVE TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY. I'D LOVE TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE.

AND THEN IF THERE'S ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, WE'VE GOT MR. SMITH HERE.

YES LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION.

THE OUR ZONING MD-4 IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE THE HIGHEST DENSITY ZONES THAT WE HAVE IN HERE.

AND SOME OF THESE TWEAKS THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING OR PROPOSED ALTERNATES IN HERE HAVE A TENDENCY TO TAKE AWAY SOME OF THE GREEN SPACE, IF YOU WILL.

BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THE FINAL LAYOUTS AND THE WAY THINGS ARE COMING OUT IN HERE, IT SEEMS THAT YOUR WALKWAYS THE PATHWAYS, OTHER THINGS THAT THE NEW AREAS AND STUFF ARE ADDING THAT PORTION BACK

[00:20:06]

IN. AM I CORRECT IN THAT, OR IS THAT IS THAT ASSUMPTION BECAUSE YOU'VE REDUCED THE LOT SIZE, YOU'VE INCREASED THE FLOOR PLAN SIZE.

SO IT AND YOU'VE MADE IT MORE DENSE WHERE THE HOMES ACTUALLY ARE, BUT THEN LIGHTENED IT UP IN SOME FASHION.

YES, SIR. MR. SMITH, THAT'S EXACTLY OUR INTENTION WAS TO CREATE MORE LINEAR WALKWAYS, LINEAR PATHWAYS, MORE WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT.

IT WAS THE BUILDERS CHOICE TO TRY TO TO TRY TO CREATE MORE SQUARE FOOTAGE, IF YOU WILL, WHICH TOOK AWAY FROM AND CHANGED, I GUESS THOSE ALTERNATES, YOU KNOW, IN THE ACTUAL LOT.

AGAIN, THAT WAS REALLY DRIVEN BY THE BUILDER, BY DAVID WEEKLEY, BUT WE TRIED TO GIVE IT BACK IN THOSE OPEN SPACES.

AND OF COURSE, WHERE OUR RETENTION POND IS OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A LAKE OR A POND THAT WILL HOLD WATER YEAR ROUND, IT WILL ALSO HAVE A FOUNTAIN IN IT.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE PROPOSE WE HAVE SOME OFF STREET PARKING THERE FOR NEIGHBORS IF THEY WANT TO, OUR RESIDENTS TO PARK OVER THERE, AND THEN ALSO PICNIC TABLES AND PARK BENCHES THERE. SO THAT'S A GATHERING SPOT, AS I'D ALREADY DESCRIBED, THE COMMERCIAL GREEN SPACE AS WELL AS THE LINEAR TRAILS.

SO THAT IS OUR INTENTION.

SOME OF THESE ALTERNATES ARE THESE WOULD I CONSIDER THEM TO BE THE TOWNHOME BUILDER PREFERENCES? MOST OF THE TOWNHOMES THAT YOU'RE DOING, YOU ARE PUSHING TOWARDS THIS LIKE THE OUR, OUR REDUCTIONS IN FLOOR AREA RATIOS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

OR DOES IS THIS FOLLOWING YOUR DEVELOPER GUIDELINES, I GUESS? YES, SIR. ALL OF THOSE CHANGES ONCE WE LANDED ON DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES THAT ARE THAT ARE MENTIONED, THE ALTERNATIVES ARE DRIVEN BY DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES.

WE WE AS THE DEVELOPER OR AN ENGINEER, REALLY.

IT'S HARD TO THINK THROUGH THAT ON TOWNHOMES.

AGAIN ON A 40 FOOT LOT THEY'RE PRETTY STANDARD, YOU KNOW, BUILDING CODE AND SETBACKS AND SIMILAR SITES IN EULESS AND BEDFORD OR. I THINK THAT'S FAIR.

COLTON, YOU MIGHT KNOW AND COLTON DOES A LOT IN THE NORTH ALSO.

BEDFORD IF THERE'S ANYTHING COMPARABLE.

I'M SURE THERE IS. I HAVEN'T LOOKED AROUND THE TOWN.

I DO QUITE A BIT OF WORK NORTH OF DFW, AND THIS IS KIND OF THE STANDARD TOWNHOME PRODUCT.

I THINK THE ZONING ORDINANCE IN BEDFORD WAS PROBABLY WRITTEN A LITTLE WHILE AGO.

AND TOWNHOME PREFERENCE BUILDER PREFERENCES, JUST THE TYPICAL HAS PROBABLY UPDATED A LITTLE BIT SINCE THAT TIME.

SO THIS IS JUST BRINGING ALL THOSE REGULATIONS KIND OF INTO CONFORMANCE WITH WHAT'S STANDARD ON MOST TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA.

PERSONALLY, I LIKE IT.

IF I WERE GOING TO LIVE IN A TOWNHOME, I WOULDN'T WANT TO MOW ALL THAT STUFF, YOU KNOW? SO THINGS LIKE THAT.

MR. SMITH, IF I COULD.

YEAH. IF YOU THINK BACK AND I KNOW NOT EVERYBODY WAS ON THE COMMISSION AT THIS TIME, BUT LAST, LAST YEAR, END OF LAST YEAR P&Z AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVED 1525 BEDFORD ROAD, WHICH HAD A LOT OF THESE SIMILAR, VERY SIMILAR STYLE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND CHANGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IT'S NOT SOMETHING UNCOMMON THAT THE CITY HAS NOT DONE BEFORE.

OKAY. MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER JACOBSEN.

JUST TO REPEAT WHAT MR. COMMISSIONER SMITH SAID, MY INITIAL CONCERN WAS ABOUT THE DENSITY OF THE HOMES THEMSELVES.

BUT THEN IN TALKING WITH MR. MORRISON THIS AFTERNOON, REFERRING ME TO THIS CONCEPT MAP AND LOOKING AT YOUR NOVEL USE OF EASEMENTS IN THE GREEN SPACE I DO, I DO LIKE THE PRODUCT AS IT APPEARS NOW, SO I DON'T KNOW.

DID DAVID WEEKLEY COME UP WITH THIS OR WAS THIS Y'ALL'S.

IT WAS A SPACE, THE USE OF EASEMENTS.

I'M JUST CURIOUS.

THERE WAS A TEAM EFFORT. WE JUST KIND OF LOOKED AT STONE COURT THAT JOHN DEVELOPED A WHILE.

SOME TIME AGO.

THEY USED AN EASEMENT IN A SIMILAR WAY WITH THE TRAIL AND EVERYTHING.

SO IT WAS KIND OF A TEAM EFFORT.

WE LOOKED AT IT WEEKLY BACK AND FORTH TO COME UP WITH I LIKE, I LIKE IT.

I THINK IT'S A VERY NOVEL APPROACH, SO I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

JUST ONE QUESTION I DON'T SEE IN THE LEGEND.

ARE THERE NOT ANY SIDEWALKS AROUND THE BLOCKS? IS IT JUST.

THERE WILL BE SIDEWALKS.

SIDEWALKS? YEAH.

THE PROPOSED STREET SECTION HAS, I THINK, 24 FOOT DRIVABLE AREA WITH PARALLEL PARKING, KIND OF A ZIPPER STREET, IF YOU'RE ACCUSTOMED TO THAT TERM, BUT IT'LL HAVE SIDEWALKS OUT

[00:25:04]

THERE AS WELL. COMMISSIONER GALLENSTEIN.

MR. [INAUDIBLE] FIRST, LET ME COMPLIMENT YOU.

I LIKE THE NAME GATEWAY PLAZA.

THIS IS THE GATEWAY TO THE EASTERN SIDE OF BEDFORD.

SO YOU PICKED A GOOD NAME.

THANK YOU. LET ME GO OVER.

I WENT OVER YOUR WEBSITE.

I'VE BEEN OVER THE PROPERTY.

IN FACT, I DRAGGED MY WIFE ALONG BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK, IT WAS 95, AND I THINK HE ADMITTED HE WAS THE SAME WAY.

YOU MENTIONED THE DEVELOPMENT IN EULESS.

I'LL TRY AND BE KIND.

IT'S NOT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR AND I THINK THOSE ARE GOING TO DETERIORATE.

TO COMPARE THEM, I DROVE OVER TO HOMETOWN AND HOMETOWN, AS YOU WELL KNOW, HAS STANDARD HOMES, HAS PATIO HOMES, HAS TOWNHOMES, HAS APARTMENTS.

IF YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH, YOU CAN MOVE INTO ASSISTED LIVING.

THEY GOT YOU COVERED FROM A TO Z.

AND WHAT MAKES HOMETOWN KIND OF UNIQUE IS THAT THERE ARE SIDEWALKS IN FRONT OF ALL, WHETHER IT'S A HOME OR A PATIO HOME OR A TOWNHOME.

AND THERE'S AT LEAST ONE TREE THERE.

AND WHAT I COULDN'T TELL FROM THIS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OFFICIAL NAME USUALLY THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A STREET AND BASICALLY A GREEN SPACE.

IT'S CALLED THE DEVIL STRIP.

HELL STRIP, I DON'T KNOW, THEN A SIDEWALK AND THEN THE FRONT.

ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THAT ON THIS DEVELOPMENT? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THAT AT FOUNDERS PLAZA IN EULESS.

I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH FOUNDERS PLAZA DEVELOPMENT IN DETAIL.

IN THIS CASE, WE HAVE PARALLEL PARKING BUMP OUTS.

SO THE SIDEWALK WILL RUN ADJACENT TO THE BACK OF THOSE BUMP OUTS, AND THERE WILL BE ALMOST TREE WELLS IN BETWEEN.

OKAY. SO YOU WILL HAVE IT WILL BE TREE LINED.

YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE A GRASS STRIP, BUT IT WILL BE TREE LINED.

IS THAT A FAIR STATEMENT? I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH.

OKAY MAYBE WE CAN SAVE THIS FOR THE NEXT.

THERE'S AND TALKING ABOUT THE TREES.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF TREES OVER THERE.

I THINK THE WHOLE THING THAT COMES DOWN TO YOU MENTIONED SOUTHLAKE.

I WAS GOING TO GO OUT THERE, BUT MY WIFE HAD OTHER PLANS, SO WE DIDN'T DRIVE OUT THERE TO SEE THOSE TOWNHOMES.

AND YOU'RE COMPARING AND YOU CAN DO A LOT IN A SMALL SPACE.

I LIVE IN A PATIO HOME AND IT'S AND I BRAG ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND BECAUSE IT WAS VERY WELL DONE.

AND SO IT'S NOT ALWAYS NOT ALWAYS THE SIZE, BUT I THINK REALTORS REFER TO IT AS CURB APPEAL.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, OR AT LEAST I'M LOOKING FOR ON THIS.

AND I'M HEARING YOUR ENGINEER SAY, LET ME SINCE HE'S STANDING UP THERE AND YOU MENTIONED IT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A RETENTION POND THAT HOLDS WATER.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE DEEP ENOUGH FOR A FOUNTAIN.

WELL, I NOTICED WHEN I WENT TO FOUNDER'S PARK IN EULESS, THEY HAVE TWO RETENTION PONDS.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO GO OVER THERE AND LOOK ONE, THEY PUT A FOUNTAIN IN, THE OTHER ONE IS MOSS COVERED.

WE HAVE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD MAN MADE CANALS, AND WE'RE NOT DEEP ENOUGH FOR FOUNTAINS.

SO WE HAVE UNDER THE WATER AERATORS SO WE DON'T HAVE PLUS WE HAVE A [INAUDIBLE] ON ON TOP OF THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE CONTROLLING THE CCMRS UNTIL IT'S PROBABLY 80% SOLD.

AM I CORRECT, 80 OR 85%.

SO LET ME ASK YOU IN TERMS OF YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT PARKING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WE HAVE NO STREET PARKING.

OKAY. YOU EITHER PARK IN YOUR GARAGE OR YOU PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY.

SO YOU'VE GOT FOUR SLOTS.

AND OUR HOUSES RANGE FROM, I THINK THE SMALLEST IS 1900 TO ABOUT 3000FT².

NOW, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE MY AGE COLOR HAIR, AND SO THEY'RE EMPTY NESTERS AND SO ON.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF KIDS, BUT I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE SAME THING IN THIS, THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO THIS, THAT ARE SINGLE OR EMPTY NESTERS OR SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO DO IS BASICALLY LIMIT PARKING TO EITHER THE GARAGE OR THE DRIVEWAY, OR THESE SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME EXTRA PARKING THERE.

I'M ASSUMING IT'S FOR GUESTS, BUT MAYBE IT'S FOR RESIDENTS.

AND, YOU KNOW, MANY COMMUNITIES OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS.

AND WE'RE WE'RE PRETTY STRICT ON THOSE CCMRS. I COULD GIVE YOU DETAILS.

IT IS HARD TO, TO STAND HERE AND AFFIRM THAT THERE COULD BE NO ON STREET PARKING O VERNIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I COULD COMMIT TO THAT.

WHAT OUR CCMRS DO HAVE IS THINGS LIKE I THINK IT'S, LIKE OVER 48 HOURS.

THERE'S NO A CAR HAS TO BE MOVED.

SO A CAR CAN'T SIT STATIONARY FOR LIKE, 48 HOURS.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLES CANNOT BE PARKED AND VISIBLE FROM THE STREET.

AND WE TRY TO PROVIDE AS MUCH OFF STREET PARKING AS WE CAN.

BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY THINK THAT THERE'S PARKING IN THE GARAGE, AND THEN WE TRY TO HAVE PARKING AS MUCH OFF STREET PARKING AS WE CAN PROVIDE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ZOOM IN AND SHOW SOME OF THOSE PARALLEL PARKS, OR JUST.

[00:30:02]

IF I CAN JUST REAL QUICK ON THAT NOTE THOUGH AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT ALL OF THE ON STREET PARKING IS GOING TO BE IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY? THAT'S CORRECT.

RIGHT. SO ANYTHING LIKE THAT WOULD APPLY TO THE TO THE 24 HOUR HOURS BEDFORD HAS IN THEIR CODE NOW IS 24 HOURS.

BUT I'M SAYING IN OUR PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION, I'M NOT SAYING I CAN'T PULL MY CAR UP FRONT, UNLOAD GROCERIES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT I CAN'T PARK IT.

THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT YOU GET IS ENFORCING A TIME LIMIT.

WE HAD THAT AND IT WAS HARD TO TO MANAGE.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT SITTING OUT THERE WITH A STOPWATCH, RIGHT? AND SO WE WENT WITH THAT, AND NONE OF THE RESIDENTS, WE REVIEWED OUR CCMRS AND GOT OVERWHELMING APPROVAL BECAUSE WE HAD A TIME LIMIT AND IT WAS HARD TO MANAGE.

AND I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT.

KEEP IN MIND, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CURB APPEAL.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ENTRYWAY TO BEDFORD MAKING THIS LOOK AS GOOD AS IT POSSIBLY CAN.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANY, I REALIZE YOU'RE THE DEVELOPER, NOT THE BUILDER.

IT'S DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES DOES A NICE PRODUCT.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANY RENDERINGS OF WHAT THESE MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

WILL THEY BE BRICK FRONT? WILL THEY BE HARDIE BOARD SIDING? YOU MENTIONED IN THERE A TRADITIONAL LOOK VERSUS MORE OF A URBAN LOOK.

YES. AND FOUNDERS PLAZA OR PARK I'M SORRY.

HAS MORE OF A URBAN LOOK.

AGREED. WHEN YOU GO OVER TO HOMETOWN, IN FACT, I'VE GOT A PICTURE OF MY PHONE I CAN SHOW YOU AFTER THE MEETING.

YEAH, IT HAS MORE OF A BRICK.

I MEAN, SOMETHING I THINK IF YOU JUDGE BETWEEN THE TWO, YOU'D YOU'D PICK HOMETOWN.

I'M SURE BETWEEN THE TWO, IT JUST HAS MORE OF AN APPEAL.

YEAH. AND SO WE'RE GOING BACK TO THIS CURB APPEAL.

WE'RE GOING BACK TO THIS IS THE GATEWAY TO BEDFORD AND THIS THIS IS OUR ONE SHOT.

SO I'M TRYING TO GET THAT OUT OF YOU WILL, WITH THE CCMRS WILL YOU ALSO BE DOING YOU'LL DEFINITELY BE DOING THE COMMON AREA WILL YOU.

AND AND SO ON WILL YOU BE DOING RESIDENTS LAWNS IN THIS BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE PRETTY SMALL? YES, YES. SO IN ANY DENSITY IN OUR WORLD AND WE JUST DID A 40 FOOT.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR. POINT OF ORDER HERE.

SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POA AND AND THOSE ITEMS, THOSE WILL COME UP IN ITEM THREE.

WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PLAT, IT'S A REQUIREMENT OF THE PLATS.

SO LET'S JUMP PAST THAT TILL WE GET TO THE PLAT PART OKAY.

BECAUSE YOUR BYLAWS AND ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION FOR YOUR HOME HOA SHOULD BE PART OF THAT PLAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT ACCORDING TO THE CODE OR MAYOR, WE CAN DISCUSS IT THEN. I MEAN, YOU CAN DISCUSS IT ANY ITEM, THAT'S FINE.

BUT YOU THE CITY DOES NOT REVIEW CCMRS OR HOA DOCUMENTS AS FAR AS PLATS.

SO THEY'RE NOT COMING WITH THE PLAT? NO. OKAY. ANYWAY.

ALL RIGHT. BUT IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS THOSE ITEMS AT THE PLAT, I CAN DO THAT.

OKAY. YEAH, I'M JUST LOOKING THROUGH SOME OF THE NOTES YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR WEBSITE, AND IT WAS A NICE WEBSITE THAT YOU LIKE TO OVERDELIVER ON THE DETAILS. YEAH, TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

I'VE BEEN ACCUSED OF THAT.

OKAY. I LIKE IF I, IF I'M INTERPRETING CORRECTLY.

WELL, WE'RE PROUD.

THAT'S WHY WE'VE OWNED THE SHOP SINCE 2005.

AND I CAN'T OWN THE SUBDIVISION.

BUT OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, WE'VE WE'VE CONTINUED.

WE'RE LONG TERM OWNERS.

WE'RE NOT CHURN AND BURNERS.

WE'RE NOT FEED DEVELOPERS OR AND WE'RE NOT CARPETBAGGERS AND WE'RE NOT PROMOTERS.

WE YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG, LONG TIME AND IN THE METROPLEX A LONG, LONG TIME.

AND IN AND IN BEDFORD IS WHERE I STARTED DEVELOPING.

SO THAT'S HOW I FEEL LIKE WE OVER DEVELOPED OVER DELIVER ON THE DETAILS.

OBVIOUSLY, I'M VERY HANDS ON, YOU KNOW, WHILE I OWN THE COMPANY.

IT'S A BIG COMPANY AND WE DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

I'M INVOLVED IN THE PLANNING OF THIS AS WELL AS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF IT.

WHEN WE BREAK GROUND, LORD WILLING, AROUND LABOR DAY HOPEFULLY WE'VE GOT OUR CONSTRUCTION PLANS DONE AND WE'RE BREAKING GROUND AROUND LABOR DAY.

MR. FARLEY ASKED ME WHEN WE DELIVER.

IF YOU'RE CURIOUS, I THINK WE'D BE DELIVERING SOMETIME AROUND THANKSGIVING OF 2025, SO 14 MONTHS.

OKAY. SO THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT UP, THOUGH.

OKAY. WELL, I'M JUST I MEAN, I READ YOUR WEBSITE.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE MR. MORRISON AND I TALKED THE OTHER DAY, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TREES.

NOW WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT IN NUMBER THREE, OR WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT IN NUMBER ONE, IT'S UP TO THE CHAIRMAN.

WHAT'S HIS.

WELL, THE TREE PLAN IS IN THE INCLUDED WITH THE PLAT IS INCLUDED.

OKAY. [INAUDIBLE] LET ME ASK YOU, LIKE I SAID, WALKED IT.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S THAT LARGE CLUMP OF TREES AND IT'S RIGHT IN THE CENTER.

IT IS. AND THERE'S SOME UNDESIRABLE TREES AND THERE'S SOME REALLY NICE TREES.

CORRECT. BUT WHEN I WALKED IS EVERYTHING THAT HAS A AND MAYBE THE ENGINEER CAN ANSWER THIS, OR WHOEVER WENT OUT AND TAGGED THE TREES IS EVERYTHING THAT HAS A BLUE AND WHITE

[00:35:01]

RIBBON, IS THAT COMING OUT? I DON'T THINK ANYTHING ON SITE HAS BEEN TAGGED AS REMOVE OR KEEP.

THAT WAS JUST REALLY THAT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THERE'S TREES OVER THERE.

THERE'S A TON OF TREES AND THEY HAVE A BLUE AND WHITE.

I SEE THE LADY NODDING HER HEAD.

AND THE REASON I ASKED THAT WHEN YOU GO CLEAR TO THE BACK, WHICH WOULD BE THE WEST SIDE, THERE'S A LARGE POST OAK.

WHEN I SAY LARGE, I CAN'T GET MY ARMS AROUND IT NOW.

MAYBE IT HAS TO COME OUT.

I DON'T KNOW, IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO TELL WITH THE ALLEYWAYS AND SO ON.

SO IT WAS REALLY HARD TO TELL WHAT YOU MIGHT BE TRYING TO SAVE AND WHAT YOU CAN SAVE.

AND THEN MY THOUGHT WAS, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF CALIPER INCHES OF TREES, AS YOU WELL KNOW.

IS THERE ENOUGH TREE WELLS, OKAY FOR THESE TOWNHOMES AND OTHER GREEN SPACES THAT THOSE TREES COULD BE PLACED THERE TO GIVE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THE LOOK, THE GATEWAY INTO THE EASTERN PART OF BEDFORD, OR I KNOW YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO PAY INTO A FUND OR PUT THOSE TREES SOMEPLACE ELSE IN BEDFORD.

BUT I WOULD THINK THOSE RESIDENTS, AND ESPECIALLY THE RESIDENTS THAT I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHO LIVES IN THIS HOUSE BEHIND IT, BUT THEY'VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL POST OAK ON ON WHAT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED THERE.

AND LIKE I SAID, I THOUGHT ALL OF THOSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BLUE AND WHITE TAPE ON THEM RIBBON.

AND I WOULD SAY THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM HAD THAT ON THERE.

SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU HAVEN'T MARKED THEM YET? SOMEONE HAS.

WE HAD A TREE SURVEY PERFORMED WHICH USUALLY PUT THE NUMBERED TAGS ON THERE.

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE BLUE AND WHITE TAPE HAS COME FROM.

OKAY. COULD COULD WE GET SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT AT SOME POINT IN TIME? AND ALSO THIS IDEA OF, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE CALIPER INCHES AND WHAT THE DESIRABLE AND NON-DESIRABLE TREES ARE AND THERE'S A LOT OF DESIRABLE INCHES.

AND I'M LOOKING FOR YOU TO SAY, WELL, YEAH, WE HAVE ENOUGH GREEN AREA AND, AND TREE WELL AREA THAT WE COULD PLANT THESE ALONG WITH THESE TOWNHOMES.

DO YOU MEAN REPLANT? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

BUT IF YOU'RE TAKING OUT A 30 CALIPER INCH TREE OKAY, YOU PLANT TEN, TEN THREE INCH TREES.

AND WHAT I'M SORRY.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS THERE'S THERE'S QUITE A FEW INCHES OF DESIRABLE TREES.

THERE'S UNDESIRABLE TREES IN THERE.

THERE WAS ONE I ACTUALLY HAD TO LOOK UP BECAUSE IT KIND OF FOOLED ME.

SUGARBERRY IS JUST ANOTHER NAME FOR HACKBERRY.

BUT. BUT IT WENT IN THERE, AND THAT IS A THERE'S A POST OAK AT THE BACK.

THERE'S COTTONWOODS. YEAH.

OKAY. YEAH. I DIDN'T SEE TOO MANY COTTONWOODS.

BUT ANYWAY, LIKE I SAID, I WALKED IT.

BUT I'M STILL TRYING TO GET BACK TO THIS LOOK AND THIS GATEWAY.

YOU NAMED IT. AND IT'S OUR GATEWAY COMING INTO OUR TOWN AND TRYING TO GIVE.

AND YOU'RE A DETAILED MAN, AS YOU SAID.

AND SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE I'M KIND OF GOING WITH THIS.

SO JUST IN RESPONSE TO WE WANT TO REPLANT AS MANY TREES, NEW TREES ON OUR PROPERTY AS WE CAN BECAUSE THAT ADDS VALUE TO OUR RESIDENTS.

SO IN ANY COMMUNITY, I DO VERSAILLES AND SOUTHLAKE.

I DON'T WANT A PLANT, I CAN WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO TO MEET THE ORDINANCE.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO PAY INTO A FUND THAT'S GOING TO PLANT TREES SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE I'M SELFISH, AND I WANT THEM ADDING VALUE TO MY RESIDENTS AND HELPING US, OUR BUILDERS, SELL THOSE LOTS. SO THAT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN COMMIT TO, AND THAT WE JUST ABIDE BY THE ORDINANCE AND REPLANT AS MANY TREES AS WE CAN.

THE AREAS WE CAN PLANT TREES, THOUGH, ARE ALONG THAT GREEN BELT IN THE PANHANDLE.

I CALL IT SEPARATING US FROM STONE COURT.

SO THERE'S THERE'S AMPLE ROOM FOR TREES THERE IN ADDITION TO THOSE OFF STREET PARKS.

AND THEN COMING DOWN THE LINEAR TRAIL, WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ANYTHING IN THE ARCO PIPELINE EASEMENT, BUT.

THAT IS AN AREA JUST LIKE AT STONE COURT WHERE WE CAN PLANT TREES.

AND THEN OF COURSE, IN THE IN THE RETENTION POND AREA AND THAT GREEN AREA WHERE THE PICNIC TABLES ARE IN THE MEW, THERE'S THERE'S AMPLE AREA THERE FOR ORNAMENTAL TREES AND CALIPER INCHES IN THE MEW.

AND THEN WE'VE WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION BACK TO OUR SHOPPING CENTER THERE ALONG INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD.

AND WHATEVER WE CAN PLANT IN THAT DRAINAGE CHANNEL IF YOU WILL.

THAT'S GOING TO BE MAINTAINED AND MANICURED AND PART OF OUR GREEN AREA SO.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. SINCE WE'RE SINCE WE'RE ON THAT POINT, LET ME JUST THROW OUT A PIECE OF INFORMATION, JUST TO CLARIFY.

SO WITHIN THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, THERE ARE 84 PROTECTED TREES BASED ON OUR CURRENT TREE ORDINANCE. WITHIN THOSE 84 TREES IS 2016 CALIPER INCHES OF TREES.

SO THAT'S THE SCOPE OF THE TREES IN THE TREE MITIGATION PLAN THAT WE WILL SEE WITH THE PLAT.

BUT IN THEIR PROPOSAL HERE, THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS THAT CAME OUT OF THE TREE SURVEY THAT YOU FOLKS ARE REFERENCING.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

AND JUST AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, SO THE 2016IN THAT IS THE NUMBER OF CALIPERS THAT HAVE TO BE MITIGATED.

YES. NOT NECESSARILY THE NUMBER THAT THEY'RE REMOVING.

[00:40:02]

THEY'RE REMOVING 84 TREES.

BUT REMEMBER OUR TREE OUR TREE ORDINANCE HAS A SLIDING SCALE.

IF IT'S A CERTAIN SIZE OR OVER IT'S TWO FOR ONE, THREE FOR ONE SO ON AND SO ON.

THE THE MITIGATION, HOW IT'S MITIGATED WILL BE DECIDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN REVIEW BECAUSE WE'LL REQUIRE A LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR ALL OF THE OPEN THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACES IN THE AREA.

AND THEY'LL TELL US THEN WHERE THEY CAN PLANT TREES, HOW THEY HOW MANY THEY CAN PLANT AT THREE INCHES CALIPER DECIDE TO GO HIGHER, WHATEVER THEY DECIDE.

AND THEN WE'LL LOOK AT WHAT THEIR ACTUAL MITIGATION OPTIONS ARE.

KIND OF WHY I WAS GOING THAT WAY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS. YES, SIR. TALKED ABOUT SIDEWALKS JUST A MINUTE AGO IN THE ROADWAYS.

ARE THERE SIDEWALKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MEWS? YES. OKAY.

TRAILS, THEN ARE SHOWN IN GRAY.

THEY'RE SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE MEWS BETWEEN THE PINK TOWNHOMES, CORRECT? YES. THAT'S THE CONNECTIVITY.

YES. ALL RIGHT. SECOND THING I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY OR TALK ABOUT IS I'M A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE REDUCTION OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENT.

THAT INCLUDES THE GARAGE AREA COUNTING AS PART OF THE PARKING YOU'RE PROVIDING IN THE DEVELOPMENT.

THERE'S PROBABLY NOT 10% OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE CITY OF BEDFORD THAT HAS A GARAGE THEY CAN GET THEIR CAR IN, BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER STUFF IN THERE.

IT SEEMS TO BE FROM A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT AS A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT, UNREASONABLE EXPECT THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PARK IN THE GARAGE WITH NO OTHER PLACE FOR THEM TO PARK OTHER THAN ON THE STREET.

AND I'M PERSONALLY NOT COMFORTABLE WITH INCLUDING THE GARAGE PARKING SPACE AS FULFILLING THE TWO OFF STREET PARKING SPACES PER LOT THAT IS IN THE EXISTING ORDINANCE.

SO HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THAT ,HOW IS THIS NOT GOING TO JUST DRIVE MORE CONSISTENT ON STREET PARKING? BECAUSE IF THEY CAN'T GET IN THEIR GARAGE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ON THE STREET ALL THE TIME.

SO HELP US WITH THAT. IF I COULD JUMP IN JUST AS A POINT OF FOR FROM A CODE ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE, PLEASE.

RIGHT NOW, THE WAY WE CALCULATE SINGLE FAMILY ANY SINGLE FAMILY OR ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY ON IN THE PARKING ORDINANCE, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THREE OFF STREET PARKING SPACES.

SO BUT THAT INCLUDES THE 1 OR 2 CAR GARAGE THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR PROPERTY AS WELL.

SO IT'S IT'S REALLY NO DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY WE ENFORCE THE ORDINANCE TODAY.

JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, I UNDERSTAND THE PRACTICALITY PART OF IT, THAT THAT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE THE CASE, BUT THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH HOW WE ENFORCE THE PARKING ORDINANCE ACROSS THE CITY. SO WITHIN OUR EXISTING MD-4 ORDINANCE, AS IT EXISTS TODAY, WHEN IT SAYS TWO OFF STREET PARKING SPACES PROVIDED FOR EACH DWELLING, PLUS ONE SPACE FOR EVERY FOUR.

THAT BEHIND THAT IS THE DEFINITION THAT THE PARKING GARAGE SPACE COUNTS IN THOSE TWO IN OUR EXISTING ORDINANCE? IT'S NOT JUST IN MD-4, IT'S ACROSS, IT'S ACROSS EVERY ZONING, RESIDENTIAL, ZONING DISTRICT.

SO THERE'S JUST A LACK OF WORDING INSIDE OUR EXISTING MD-4? YES. OKAY.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE CLARIFICATION ITEMS WES MENTIONED EARLIER.

THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT STAFF HAD EXPLAINED TO US.

WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE.

MR. CHAIRMAN, CAN I JUST GET A BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS.

YOU HAVE TWO GARAGE SPOTS, OKAY.

AND I AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CHAIRMAN IS SAYING, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TWO DRIVEWAY SPOTS, AM I CORRECT OR AM I NOT? ON THE FRONT ENTRY WE'LL HAVE TWO DRIVEWAY SPOTS ON THE REAR ENTRY.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A SHORTER DRIVEWAY.

IT'S ABOUT SIX FEET FROM THE ALLEY, SO THERE'S NO PARKING IN THE DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS WHY WE'VE PROVIDED THE PARALLEL PARKING BUMP OUTS ON THE STREET.

SO THERE'S ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR RESIDENTS, GUESTS, WHOEVER IS GOING TO USE THAT, AND YOU HAVE THE GARAGE PARKING THAT COMPLIES WITH HOW THE CITY APPLIES THE PARKING ORDINANCE.

IF I READ IT CORRECTLY, THE THE FRONT ENTRY TOWNHOMES MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF MD-4, AND THE REAR ENTRY IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE I FEEL LIKE WE'RE LOSING.

WELL, WE'RE COUNTING THE TWO SPACES INSIDE THE GARAGE AS ONE TO TO MEET THAT CRITERIA, WHICH IS HOW WE ENFORCE IT TODAY.

THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

OKAY. REGARDING PARKING.

YEAH. BOTH TOWNHOMES MEET THE ORDINANCE AS EXPLAINED TO US BY CITY STAFF.

YES. OKAY. THANK YOU.

GENTLEMEN, IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, WE'RE GOING TO OPEN OUR PUBLIC HEARING HERE AT 6:45.

[00:45:02]

THIS HAS THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS IN CONSIDERATION OF CASE ZC 24-1, WHICH IS THE ZONING CHANGE FROM BOTH HEAVY AND LIGHT COMMERCIAL TO MD-4.

YOU HAVE ANYONE AN AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE? YES, MA'AM. PLEASE COME FORWARD. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. MY NAME IS LEE LACKEY.

I LIVE IN VILLAGE OF OAK PARK, 2004 OAK TIMBER DRIVE, BEDFORD AND I'VE LIVED IN THIS AREA FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS THAT THAT ROAD IS GOING TO BE BUMPED UP RIGHT NEXT TO MY HOUSE.

THERE'S A RETAINING WALL THERE THAT IS NOT IN GREAT SHAPE, THAT SUPPORTS THE BACK OF OUR PROPERTY.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROAD, GOING BEHIND THAT AND LESSENING WEAKENING THE STRUCTURE AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THAT.

MY OTHER QUESTION IS THESE TOWNHOMES, HOW TALL ARE THEY GOING TO BE? ARE THEY 3 OR 4 STORY TOWNHOMES? THAT'S GOING TO BLOCK MY VIEW OF THE GREEN, BECAUSE I CAN SEE ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE TREES TO THE EAST, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE TREES AND THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO ALL THOSE TREES ARE MARKED AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THEM ALL OUT.

AND I'M I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

THOSE TREES ARE OLD. THOSE TREES HAVE BEEN HERE LONG BEFORE WE WERE AND THE OTHER CONCERN WAS THE THE NOISE FROM THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE SO COMPACTED AND SO DENSE.

IT'S GOING TO DISTURB THE NICE, QUIET PLACE WE HAVE, EITHER IN STONE COURT OR IN VILLAGE OF OAKS PARK.

THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS.

THANK YOU MA'AM.

ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC? PLEASE COME FORWARD. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

ESTELLA MARTINEZ, 1932 HIGHLAND DRIVE.

SO IT'S THAT. THANK YOU. IT'S THAT STONE COURT AREA.

SO THE CONCERN I HAVE IS IF I COULD SHOW.

SO IF YOU SEE.

THERE YOU GO. IF YOU COULD KIND OF ZOOM IN, I GUESS, WHERE THAT RIGHT THERE, THAT WHERE THAT LITTLE GAS THING IS OR WHATEVER THAT IS.

OKAY. SO I HEARD EARLIER THE LIKE A MASONRY WALL THAT IS A PLASTIC WALL.

IF A CAR IS TAKING THAT CURVE AND THEY TAKE IT TOO HARD AND THEY HIT THAT WALL, IT'S GOING TO CRUMBLE.

MY GRANDSON COULD BE IN THE YARD.

OUR DOG COULD BE IN THE YARD.

IS THERE ANY PLANS TO MAKE A MORE OF I GUESS A STRUCTURALLY SOUND BARRIER THERE BECAUSE IT'S PLASTIC RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE STONE, BUT IT'S NOT.

YES. ANYONE ELSE? GOOD EVENING. AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YES, SIR. MY NAME IS MARIA LEE.

I LIVE IN 2005 GOLDEN OAK, RIGHT BEHIND THE THE AREA.

IT'S ON THE CURVE BEHIND.

AND I HAD NOTHING BEHIND MY BACKYARD, AND I HAD SWIMMING POOL.

AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT, FIRST OF ALL, THE NOISES.

SECOND OF ALL IS THE PRIVACY THERE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TALL IT'S GOING TO BE THERE.

THE TOWNHOUSES AND OTHER CONCERN IS THE TREES.

I REALLY LOVE THE NATURE.

AND THEY DUMP IT OFF IT'S GOING TO BE MORE NOISES.

WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH NOISES WITH THE FREEWAY THERE.

WE CAN HEAR THE AMBULANCE, EVERYTHING THERE.

BUT RIGHT NOW, WITH NINE YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO BE DISTURBING TO MY FAMILY.

THANK YOU MA'AM. ANYONE ELSE.

I LIVE IN 2000 GOLDEN OAK DRIVE.

WE HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE TAXES.

WOULD THIS IMPACT ANY OF THAT? I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS, BUT.

OKAY. AND THEN I WOULD SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT THE TREES.

[00:50:03]

THE VIEW IS NICE.

I, WE LIVE RIGHT BEHIND THE RITA'S AND EVERYTHING, AND WHENEVER I'M IN THE BACKYARD, IT'S LIKE, NO, EASY.

LIKE ALL THE CUSTOMERS JUST COMING OUT.

SO THE TREES JUST KIND OF HELPS WITH THAT.

JUST THAT SIDE.

SO. YEAH. OKAY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

DO WE KNOW HOW HIGH THOSE TOWNHOUSES ARE GOING TO BE.

DO WE KNOW. MY NAME IS DAN FARLEY.

I LIVE IN STONE COURT.

DO WE KNOW HOW MANY STORIES THESE TOWNHOMES ARE GOING TO BE? 35FT OR TWO AND A HALF STORIES, TWO AND A HALF.

THE OTHER QUESTION IS ON THE LIGHTING BACK THERE.

I KNOW I TALKED TO JOHN AND HE SAID THEY'RE GOING TO PUT SOME TREES ALONG THAT RIGHT THERE.

SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIGHT POLLUTION AND THE IF THOSE ARE BACK THE BACK OF THE TOWNHOUSES, IS IT GOING TO BE LIGHTS FLOODING OUR BACKYARDS AT ALL TIMES? ALONG THE STREET YOU MEAN? YEAH, I WOULD SUSPECT AGAIN, THOSE ARE CIVIL PLANES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DRAFTED YET, BUT I WOULD SUSPECT IT'S GOING TO BE A PUBLIC STREET.

THERE WOULD BE STREET LIGHTS BACK THERE.

WELL, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, ARE YOU GOING TO PUT A TREE, A HEDGEROW IN THERE OR TREES TO BLOCK THAT BLOCK US FROM BEING FLOODED WITH LIGHTS? I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT RIGHT NOW.

MIC] IF NO OTHER FOLKS COME FORWARD. IT'S 6:52 WE'LL CLOSE THE PUB, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

COMMISSIONERS YOUR PLEASURE DISCUSSION AMONGST US.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO STAFF.

[INAUDIBLE] I DO HAVE A QUESTION, I GUESS FOR WES.

JUST TO CLARIFY THIS, WE'RE GOING TO SEE THIS AGAIN WHEN THERE'S ACTUAL FACADES AND WHAT'S THE PLANS FOR PLANTING AND ALL THAT STUFF? THIS IS NOT EVERYTHING ROLLED INTO ONE.

THIS IS IT'S A ZONING CHANGE.

SO THIS IS THE THE NO, THIS IS FOR A ZONING CHANGE.

THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE.

THIS IS A STRAIGHT ZONING CHANGE.

YOU DON'T GET TO SEE BUILDING ELEVATIONS, LANDSCAPE PLANS, THAT KIND OF THING.

THE NEXT STEP, OF COURSE, THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT IS GOING TO BE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

ASSUMING THAT'S APPROVED WITH THE ZONING CHANGE, THEN THEY'LL START WORKING ON CIVIL PLANS.

AND CIVIL PLANS DO NOT COME BEFORE P&Z OR COUNCIL.

AND I GUESS THAT THAT'S MY OTHER QUESTION THEN IS SO WE HAVE NO IDEA EXACTLY HOW THE NO TREES ARE GOING TO BE LEFT IS WHAT IT WHAT WE'RE HEARING? I MEAN, AS AS WE KIND OF STATED BASED ON THE TREE SURVEY, THEY'RE REMOVING 84, WHICH IS WHICH IS THE MAJORITY OF THE TREES ON THE SITE.

BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO MITIGATE THOSE PER THE ORDINANCE.

I GUESS THAT'S MY CONCERN IS BECAUSE I [INAUDIBLE] WIMBERLY, I WAS IN WIMBERLEY LAST YEAR AND THEY PUT BRAND NEW BUILDINGS IN LIKE THREE FEET FROM EXISTING TREES TO KEEP THAT ESTHETIC.

AND SO I'M WONDERING HOW MUCH OF IT COULD ACTUALLY BE SAVED, YOU KNOW, TO ROGER'S POINT OF IF THERE'S A GIANT OAK AND IT'S IN AN AREA, ARE WE JUST TAKING IT OUT BECAUSE IT'S EASIER OR.

WELL, AGAIN, THAT'S THE WHOLE BASIS FOR OUR TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE.

WE I MEAN, THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT AND THEY'RE GOING TO IF THEY DON'T WANT TO MEET THAT 2000 MITIGATION REQUIREMENT, THEN THEY MAY LOOK AT EITHER MOVING THAT TREE SOMEWHERE ON SITE OR OR MOVING SOMETHING ON THE SITE TO MAKE THAT WORK, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DONE.

WE'RE JUST NOT THERE YET.

THAT'S THE THAT'S THE THING THAT'S DONE WHEN THE WITH THE CIVIL PLANS.

OKAY. NO COMMISSIONERS.

THANK YOU WES. OF COURSE.

SO JUST TO ENCAPSULATE WHERE WE ARE ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM EVEN GIVING THE DISCUSSION DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, WE ARE HERE TO PURELY MAKE A ZONING CHANGE FROM HEAVY COMMERCIAL TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL

[00:55:09]

TO MD-4 AND IN OUR MOTION, THEN WE WOULD ALSO DESIGNATE, IF WE CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THE DEVELOPERS ALTERNATES TO THE SECTIONS AS PROPOSED.

AND JUST AS A TECHNICAL THING, IF WE HAD TO BREAK THOSE OUT AND MAKE ANY CHANGE WITH THEM, THAT WOULD BE IN MOTION TOO.

AT THIS POINT, WE COULD APPROVE THE MOVE TO MD-4 AND WITH THAT APPROVE THE PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES IN THE CURRENT PROPOSAL.

SO THAT'S THE ITEM BEFORE US AT THIS TIME.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

COMMISSIONER EMERY I I RECOMMEND THAT WE APPROVE THE ZONING CHANGE FOR GATEWAY VILLAGE ZC 2 4-1 APPROVED AS WRITTEN.

I'LL SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

OKAY. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE ZONING CHANGE ON CASE ZC 24-1.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.

WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL ITEM NUMBER TWO, TO CONSIDER A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A DAYCARE

[2. Conduct a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding a specific use permit to allow a day-care use for property legally described as Lot 2R01 Block 1 of the Bedford Centre Addition, the property is generally located on the north side of Bedford Road, to the west of Tennis Drive and commonly known as 209 Bedford Road. (SUP-24-3)]

USE FOR PROPERTY LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT 2R01 BLOCK ONE OF THE BEDFORD CENTER ADDITION PROPERTIES GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BEDFORD ROAD TO THE WEST OF TENNIS DRIVE AND COMMONLY KNOWN AS 209 BEDFORD ROAD.

THIS IS CASE SUP 24-3.

[INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, COMMISSION MEMBERS.

209 BEDFORD ROAD I THINK EVERYBODY IS FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH THIS SITE.

WE'VE SEEN A COUPLE OF SUPS COME IN ON THIS SHOPPING CENTER.

THE PARTICULAR ONE IS FOR A A DAYCARE USE, 2500 SQUARE FOOT SUITE.

THE HOURS OF OPERATION ARE BEING PROPOSED MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 6 A.M.

TO 6 P.M., AND THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROPOSING TO UTILIZE A PORTION OF THE SITE FOR AN OUTDOOR PLAYGROUND AREA.

THE PLAYGROUND AREA IMPORTANT TO NOTE, IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE STATE, NOT A REQUIREMENT OF THE CITY.

I JUST WENT THROUGH ALL THAT, SO I'LL I'LL SAVE YOU ON THAT SURROUNDING ZONING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES YOU'VE GOT MULTIFAMILY ZONING TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH, WITH MULTIFAMILY HOUSING BOTH TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH.

TO THE EAST YOU HAVE HEAVY COMMERCIAL WITH AN OFFICE BUILDING, AND TO THE WEST YOU HAVE A CAR WASH THAT IS ZONED HEAVY COMMERCIAL.

THE STAR THERE REPRESENTS SUITE 125, WHICH IS THE SUITE IN QUESTION TONIGHT.

THE THE YELLOW BOX THERE IS THE OR THE REQUESTED PLAYGROUND AREA, THE DESIGNATED PLAYGROUND AREA. I WILL TELL YOU, STAFF HAS TALKED TO THE APPLICANT, AND THAT PLAYGROUND AREA WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED AS A DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE.

REPUBLIC TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF AT SOME POINT IN TIME TO MOVE THE DUMPSTER OUT OF THAT ENCLOSURE AREA.

THAT IS AN ONGOING CODE ISSUE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE IN REPUBLIC INDUSTRIES ON, BECAUSE THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE AREA NEEDS TO BE USED AS A DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE AREA.

AND SO WE'VE TOLD THE STAFF THAT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE MOST IDEAL PLACE FOR A PLAYGROUND AREA.

AND WITH THAT, THEY PROVIDED US AN ALTERNATIVE TO UTILIZE THE A TEN PARKING SPACES WITHIN THE PLAYGROUND OR WITHIN THE PARKING LOT AS A PLAYGROUND AREA.

WHAT STAFF IS, IS LOOKED AT IS THAT IF P&Z IS IS AMENABLE TO THAT, WE'VE ASKED THAT YOU JUST LET STAFF WORK WITH THE APPLICANT ON FIGURING OUT WHAT THE WHAT THAT PLAYGROUND AREA LOOKS LIKE.

AND SO REALLY WHAT WE WANTED TO DO TONIGHT IS TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU, HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING IF P&Z IS AMENABLE TO OR IN SUPPORT OF THE USE AND IN SUPPORT OF A PLAYGROUND AREA IN A PARKING LOT, THEN YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS TONIGHT YOU CAN RECOMMEND APPROVAL ALLOWING STAFF TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO DESIGNATE A DEFINED PLAYGROUND AREA.

OR AND WE'LL MOVE IT ON TO COUNCIL ONCE THAT PLAYGROUND AREA HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT STAFF WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

OR WE CAN YOU CAN TABLE IT AND WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO YOU.

THOSE ARE YOUR TWO OPTIONS FOR TONIGHT.

WITH THAT, I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

IN THAT COULD YOU GO BACK A COUPLE SLIDES AND IN THERE, IF NOT THE YELLOW SQUARE WHERE THE DUMPSTER IS.

WHERE'S THE SECOND THOUGHT OF THE TEN SPOTS?

[01:00:04]

RIGHT THERE WERE THE MOUSE IS LOCATED AT THE.

THAT WAS WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY BROUGHT UP.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT IN CONVERSATION WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.

THAT'S NOT THEIR IDEAL SPOT.

SO I'M I'M CORRALLING A LOT OF DIFFERENT USERS HERE.

SO THAT'S WHY I'VE SAID IF P&Z WANTS TO MOVE THIS FORWARD, THAT'S FINE.

STAFF CAN WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO DETERMINE THAT THE PLAYGROUND AREA ALONG WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.

OR YOU CAN TABLE IT, LET STAFF WORK WITH THE APPLICANT AND THE PROPERTY OWNER, AND WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO YOU FOR YOU TO LOOK AT.

OKAY. THANK YOU WES.

THE FURTHER AWAY THE PLAYGROUND AREA FROM THE SITE BOTHERS ME BECAUSE HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE KIDS TO AND FROM? SO IT'S SOMETHING I'M GOING TO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT.

HOWEVER YOU GUYS WORK IT OUT.

SURE. AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE, SO YOU CAN ASK ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANT.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE US TO, WE'VE ADVERTISED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO PLEASE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

LET'S CONDUCT THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN Y'ALL CAN MOTION HOWEVER YOU SEE FIT OKAY OKAY.

THANK YOU. THAT WAS THE THOUGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN. YES, SIR. CAN I JUST WES.

IS THERE ANY CITY REQUIREMENT, NUMBER OF STAFF OR NUMBER OF CHILDREN THAT YOU HAVE? THERE IS NOT A CITY REQUIREMENT.

THERE IS A STATE REQUIREMENT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT THAT WOULD ALL BE YOU KNOW, THIS MEETS THAT THEN.

WELL, THAT WOULD BE FOR THE STATE TO DETERMINE.

THAT WOULDN'T BE THE CITY ENFORCING THAT.

OKAY. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO STAFF BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? YES, COMMISSIONER JACOBSEN.

I'M FAMILIAR WITH THAT SHOPPING CENTER, HAVING GONE TO SEVERAL FAIRS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER, IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT ASPHALT PARKING LOT IN THE SUMMERTIME IT IS HOT. AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT MY MY FEELING THAT THAT AREA FOR USE AS A PLAYGROUND WITHOUT ANY SEVERE MITIGATION, I THINK, WOULD BE UNWISE.

SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

IT IS NOW 7:02 WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM.

ANYONE LIKE TO COME AND SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.

PLEASE COME FORWARD.

I PROMISE WE WILL CALL THE APPLICANT TO TALK TO US AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

HAS ANYONE ELSE OTHER THAN THE APPLICANT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? IF THE APPLICANT WANTS TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC HEARING, THAT'S ALLOWED.

OKAY. THAT'D BE GOOD TOO.

GOOD EVENING, SIR. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YES, SIR. MY NAME IS ANTHONY MURRAY.

MY ADDRESS IS 1860 EAST NORTHSIDE DRIVE, FORT WORTH, TEXAS.

SO AT FIRST WE DID WANT THE, THE, THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE BECAUSE THE DUMPSTER WASN'T THERE.

BUT SINCE WE SPOKE TO WES AND SAID THAT WASN'T THE BEST IDEA THE OWNER DID PROPOSE AN AREA AND HE SAID 8 TO 10 PARKING SPOTS BECAUSE THE PARKING SPOTS ARE LARGER THAN THE AVERAGE PARKING SPOT SIZE.

HE SAID THERE'S AN AREA.

CAN I SEE THE MOUSE? THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE IT. HE SAID THERE'S AN AREA HERE.

WHERE THERE'S MINIMUM TRAFFIC TO PUT A PLAY AREA.

ALSO, THERE'S A DAYCARE IN THE CITY OF BEDFORD AS WELL THAT HAS A PLAY AREA WITH PARKING SPOTS, OR THEY'RE TAKING UP PARKING SPOTS AS WELL. AND DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION THE STATE OF TEXAS REQUIRES, THE CHILDCARE REGULATIONS, REQUIRE THE THE CHILDREN TO BE OUT AT A CERTAIN TIME FOR A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME.

AND WE CAN PUT A SHADED AREA FOR THE PLAY AREA AS WELL.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THE PLAY AREA.

HOW BIG DO YOU SAY IT'S GOING TO, YOU'RE YOU'RE THINKING IT MIGHT BE? SO IT HONESTLY DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT THAT THE STATE APPROVES FOR.

SO THERE'S A SPECIFIC SQUARE FOOT THAT THE STATE APPROVED FOR US IS LIKE 80 SQUARE FOOT PER CHILD PER CAPACITY OF THE CHILD CARE.

OKAY. DO WE KNOW THE MATH ON THAT YET? SO IT.

I BELIEVE SO.

SO THE AREA RIGHT NOW IS 2,543.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY TEN PARKING SPACES.

TEN. OKAY. OKAY.

SORRY. CONTINUE, PLEASE. ABSOLUTELY.

SO THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THE PLAY AREA, THOUGH.

BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WILL APPROVE, BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE IT'S 2543 SQUARE FOOT DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S THEY'RE GOING TO APPROVE THAT MANY KIDS, BECAUSE IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW THE THE CHILDCARE IS SET UP.

[01:05:03]

SO LET'S SAY, FOR INSTANCE, IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC SPACES THAT ARE USED LIKE STORAGE SPACE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THEY WOULDN'T CONSIDER THAT AS A, I GUESS, SPECIFIC SPACE FOR CHILDREN, IF THAT'S IF IT'S USED FOR DIFFERENT ITEMS. OKAY. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU SIR. YES, SIR.

ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT, IT'S 7:05 WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

COMMISSIONER, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NOW THAT WE'VE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME BACK UP.

I THINK WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU MURRAY.

NORMALLY IN OUR DELIBERATIONS.

AND NOW THAT THE PUBLIC HEARINGS, WE HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

SO NORMALLY IN OUR DELIBERATIONS WE SOMETIMES TALK ABOUT HOW DID YOU CHOOSE THIS PARTICULAR SPOT KNOWING YOU DID NOT HAVE A CONTIGUOUS PLAYGROUND AREA TO YOUR DAYCARE? GOTCHA. SO I HONESTLY, WHEN I, WHEN I SAW THE SITE I SEEN IT ONLINE BEFORE, I SEEN IT IN PERSON AND I LOVED THE WAY IT WAS SET UP. IT WAS ACTUALLY AN OLD LAW FIRM, LAW OFFICE OR TAX OFFICE OR SOMETHING, BUT IT'S SET UP PERFECTLY FOR A CHILD CARE.

MY, I'M ACTUALLY GOING ON THIS WITH MY WIFE AND MY PARENTS.

MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 30 YEARS, AND I'M FROM OHIO BUT WHEN I MOVED DOWN HERE, I WAS STEADILY LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC BUILDING.

NOW, EVERY CHILD CARE, I MEAN, EVERY REGULATION IS DIFFERENT IN EACH STATE.

SO IT GOES FROM STATE TO STATE.

BUT WHEN I SPOKE TO THE THE OWNER OF THE FACILITY, YOU KNOW IT BEGAN TO BE A REALLY GREAT RELATIONSHIP.

AND I SAW THAT THERE WERE OTHER CHILD CARE FACILITIES THAT HAD PARKING SPACES AS A PLAYGROUND.

SO IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE AS LONG AS IT MADE SENSE.

SO THE AMOUNT OF PARKING SPACES, DEPENDING ON THE, THE AMOUNT OF STORES OR, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON WHAT WAS THERE.

SO I FEEL LIKE IT WASN'T IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE.

SO WHEN I SPOKE TO THE OWNER, HE SAID, OH, WE HAD TO DO WAS PICK A SPECIFIC SPOT.

THAT MAKES THAT MADE SENSE FOR THE CITY AND ALSO THE COMFORTABILITY OF CHILD CARE REGULATIONS.

MY WIFE AND I, WE WENT TO GET CERTIFIED THROUGH CHILD CARE REGULATIONS.

AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT THERE ARE FACILITIES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

AND WHAT THEY DO IS THEY HAVE LET'S SAY, FOR INSTANCE, IF IT WERE ON THE FAR SIDE, THE FAR RIGHT SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT, THERE ARE SPECIFIC THINGS THAT THEY COULD DO WITH THEY COULD PUT OUT SIGNS FOR THE CHILDREN.

AND TYPICALLY, LET'S SAY, FOR INSTANCE, IF THERE'S A FIELD TRIP AND THERE'S MANY DIFFERENT SQUARE FOOTAGE AT A ZOO, BUT SOMETIMES TO MAINTAIN ALL OF THE CHILDREN, IT COULD BE 8 TO 10 CHILDREN PER CHILD, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION.

THEY HOLD LIKE A ROPE, AND IT COULD BE OVER 500 SQUARE FOOT THAT THEY HAVE TO WALK.

BUT AS LONG AS THE TEACHER IS PRESENT AND THEY'RE ALL HOLDING ON TO THIS ROPE, IT IS PART OF HOW CHILD CARE REGULATIONS DO IT.

IT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE.

OKAY. [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU, SIR, FOR CLARIFYING.

ABSOLUTELY. YEAH, I GUESS KIND OF GOING BACK TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS ABOUT HEAT AND HAVING THEM ON ASPHALT YOU MENTIONED SOME OTHER PLACES ARE ALREADY LIKE THAT.

ARE THERE CONVERSATIONS BEING HAD ABOUT USING A DIFFERENT FLOORING OR PUTTING IN A DIFFERENT FLOORING, CUTTING SOMETHING OUT SO THAT IT'S LIKE A SOFTER MATERIAL FOR HAVING KIDS? AND THEN TO US TOO, LIKE, DOES OUR CODE ALLOW FOR COVERAGE TO LIKE, PUT COVERAGE OVER ALL THE PARKING SPOTS? AND THEN ARE Y'ALL THINKING ABOUT DOING IT JUST IN FRONT OF THE ACTUAL CHILD CARE CENTER? SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A MAN TRAP FOR ALL THE KIDS INSTEAD OF TAKING THEM, LIKE THROUGH A PARKING LOT TO GET TO.

GOTCHA. IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO THEY'RE DEPENDING ON WHERE WE CHOOSE WE WERE ACTUALLY JUST OPEN ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT MADE SENSE TO PLANNING AND ZONING, WHAT MADE SENSE TO THE OWNER.

AND THERE ARE IF YOU SEE HERE TO THE RIGHT, THERE'S TWO DIAMOND SQUARES TYPE OF SITUATIONS.

THE SECOND MIDDLE WILL BE THERE'S LIKE TWO BIG TREES.

SO THERE IS A SHADED AREA, BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S A LOT OF PARKING THERE DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF THE DAY.

SINCE WE'RE OPERATING FROM 6 TO 6.

ANY, ANYTHING, ANY ANYONE COULD BE NEEDING TO USE THAT SPACE.

SO I DIDN'T WANT TO PREOCCUPY THAT.

BUT THAT WAS AN AREA THAT THE OWNER ACTUALLY SPECIFIED.

THAT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA SINCE THERE'S SHADE THERE.

AND WE DID TALK ABOUT PUTTING A SPECIFIC PADDING DOWN.

WE JUST HAVE TO CLARIFY WHICH IS BEST PER CHILD CARE REGULATIONS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

ARE YOU STILL WORKING WITH THE WITH THE OWNER THERE ABOUT A DROP OFF AREA AND STUFF OR JUST.

[01:10:08]

IT'S JUST LIKE IT'S LAID OUT HERE.

WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH THAT, BUT THE WE'RE THE [INAUDIBLE].

I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WERE TRYING TO DO A DRIVE THROUGH OR SOMETHING.

THAT WASN'T TALKED ABOUT.

NO, SIR. THANK YOU SIR.

ANYONE ELSE? [INAUDIBLE] WES.

YES SIR. THANK YOU SIR.

YES, SIR. JUST AS AN OVERREACHING THING, BEFORE WE GO TO THE NEXT THING, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THIS STRIP CENTER HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS DO WE KNOW? HOW MANY PARKING SPACES IT REQUIRES AND DOES WITH THIS TEN OR SO SPACE PARKING LOT USE FOR A DAYCARE JEOPARDIZE THE REQUIRED PARKING FOR THIS CENTER? YES, STAFF HAS DONE THAT ANALYSIS AND KNOW IF WE WERE TO DEDICATE TEN SPACES FOR A PLAYGROUND AREA, THEY WOULD STILL HAVE PLENTY OF PARKING TO SERVE THE RETAIL THE REST OF THE RETAIL CENTER. OKAY, SO THAT SOLUTION COMES UP.

THAT'S THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE, ANOTHER PROBLEM? THAT HAS NOT CAUSED ANOTHER PROBLEM OKAY, OKAY.

COMMISSION I'M GOING TO THROW THIS OUT.

MY THOUGHT IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT WE HAVE A CONCRETE SPACE AND PLAYGROUND DESIGNATION AND CONFIGURATION FOR THIS, AND THEN HAVE IT BROUGHT BACK TO US SO THAT WE COULD CONSIDER AND VOTE ON A FINALIZED FOOTPRINT. MR. CHAIRMAN, IF THAT'S A MOTION, I'LL SECOND IT.

YES, I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

UNANIMOUSLY PASSED THAT WE WILL TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE NEGOTIATIONS DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT, STAFF AND THE PROPERTY OWNER ARE COMPLETE AS THE LOCATION AND CONFIGURATION OF THE PLAYGROUND.

THANK YOU WES. OUR ITEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION.

[3. Consider approval of a preliminary plat for Gateway Village consisting of 106 lots and 6 Open Space lots being 11.275 acres out of the W. Jasper Survey Abstract No. 860 generally located on the west side of North Industrial Blvd, to the south of Bedford Road and north of Airport Freeway commonly known as 209 N. Industrial Blvd. (PLAT-24-6)]

ITEM THREE ON OUR AGENDA IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR NOW GATEWAY VILLAGE CONSISTING OF 106 LOTS AND SIX OPEN SPACE LOTS BEING 11.275 ACRES OUT OF THE W JASPER SURVEY.

ABSTRACT NUMBER 860.

GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF NORTH INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD, TO THE SOUTH OF BEDFORD ROAD AND NORTH OF AIRPORT FREEWAY, COMMONLY KNOWN AS 209 NORTH INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD. THIS IS CASE PLAT 24-6.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSION MEMBERS.

THIS IS THE PLAT THAT FOR THE GATEWAY VILLAGE THAT THE ZONING THAT WAS JUST RECENTLY RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.

THIS JUST AS ALREADY STATED, IT'S 106 RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOME LOTS, SIX OPEN SPACE, LOTS OPEN SPACE BEING USED FOR TRAILS RETENTION, LANDSCAPING AND OPEN SPACE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

SITES ACCESSED OFF OF A ACCESS FROM 157 AND FROM AN EXISTING WIGGINS STREET TOWARD AIRPORT FREEWAY.

WE PUT IN THIS JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T ALWAYS ASSUME ZONINGS WOULD BE APPROVED, BUT ASSUMING ZONING IS APPROVED, WHICH IS GOING TO CITY COUNCIL ON THE 11TH, THEN THE PLAT DOES MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

ANYTHING SPECIFIC IN THIS PLAT THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS WE PARTICULARLY ADDRESS? NO PLAT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ORDINANCE, AND THERE'S REALLY NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THE PLAT.

THANK YOU. I FEEL LIKE WE I MEAN, WE'VE COVERED EVERYTHING REGARDING THE THE DETAILS OF THE DEVELOPMENT ALREADY.

JUST AS A REMINDER, THE NEXT STEP, ASSUMING ZONING ZONING IS APPROVED, THE APPLICANT WOULD CREATE THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE CIVIL PLAN STAFF WOULD REVIEW THEM, MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS.

THEY WOULD THEN BE ISSUED A RELEASE FOR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT.
