[CONSENT AGENDA]

ABSTRACT NUMBER 2 2 4.

CITY OF WILMER, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.

AND GENERALLY ADDRESSED IS 4 0 1 LAVENDER ROAD, FP DASH 26 DASH OH TWO.

DO YOU EVER DO THE ? WELL, WE, WE'VE BEEN TYPICALLY FOR CONSENT, IT'S APPROVED AS ONE ITEM.

OKAY.

YOU WOULDN'T GO INDIVIDUALLY OVER EACH UNLESS A COMMISSION MEMBER REQUESTS TO PULL IT.

SO YOU WOULD JUST APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

OKAY.

SO DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA OR DOES SOMEONE HAVE, DO YOU WANNA READ THE OTHER TWO ITEMS IN THAT CONSENT AGENDA? NO, THEY SAID WE'RE JUST GOING TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

.

WELL, I THINK WE NEED TO MENTION WHAT THE, WHAT'S, WHAT THE CONSENTS, WHAT WE'RE CONSENTING TO ITEM ONE, TWO, AND THREE.

ITEM TWO IS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR A FINAL PLAT FOR DAS ONE 14 EDITION, LOCATED IN THE JOHN LITTLE SURVEY, ABSTRACT NUMBER 7 6 8 AND THE MAJOR W SPENCER SURVEY, ABSTRACT NUMBER 1 2 8 7.

OKAY.

THOSE ARE THE THREE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED? ARE ALL ADMINISTRATIVE, UH, UH, UH, REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER? YES.

A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? ALL.

AYE.

OKAY.

MOVE

[4.Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council for approval of rezoning request from "C1" Commercial Restricted, "C2" General Commercial and "HC" Highway Corridor overlay to a Planned Develop ment, DCAD #6505051551020CU00 and #65161206510020000.]

[00:05:01]

ALRIGHT, LAURIE, LAURA.

THIS IS A LOCATION JUST ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BELTLINE AS YOU COME INTO DOWNTOWN WILMER.

UM, IT IS THE VACANT PROPERTY LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF THE SHELL AND THE DENNY'S PROPERTY.

THE APPLICANT IS COMING IN AND REQUESTING TO TAKE THIS PROPERTY ZONED C ONE AND C TWO GENERAL COMMERCIAL AND REZONE IT TO A PD TO ALLOW THOSE USES AND ALSO ADDRESS THE CUP REQUIREMENT OF THE HC OVERLAY.

SO CURRENTLY EVERY TIME SOMEBODY COMES IN IN THE HC OVERLAY, THEY HAVE TO GET A CUP.

YOU'LL SEE SOME ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THAT IT, THAT ARE RELATED TO THAT.

UM, IN SOME OF THE LARGER PDS IN THE PAST, THE STAFF HAS HAD THE PROPERTY OWNER REZONE TO A PD WITH DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ATTACHED.

SO THEY'RE NOT GOING THROUGH THE CUP PROCESS EVERY TIME THEY SELL A LOT.

SO THAT IS WHAT THIS APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO DO.

UM, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL BECAUSE THEY ARE INCORPORATING THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS THAT ARE REFLECTED IN THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY AND THE USES COMPLY.

SO THEY DO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE YES, THIS IS PRIMARILY RETAIL.

UM, WE'VE SEEN A COUPLE OF SITE PLANS SUBMITTED WITH A LOT OF RETAIL, UM, PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THE MARKET COULD ABSORB RIGHT NOW, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IS GONNA BE ON EACH OF THE SITES, BUT THE USES WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

UM, THIS SITE, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH TRAFFIC CONCERNS AND ACCESS OFF OF BELTLINE.

I KNOW THAT THE BRIDGE ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD WHENEVER YOU EXIT IS A BIT SCARY, SO I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY OF THAT UNTIL TECH STOCK GOT ON BOARD AND OUR ENGINEER GOT INVOLVED.

SO THEY'RE A LONG WAY OFF.

RIGHT.

THEY'RE JUST SEEKING TO CLEAR UP THE PROCESSING WHEN THEY COME IN.

OKAY.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A SPECIFIC QUESTION FOR LAURA? I DO.

UH, HAVE THEY TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION RIGHT NOW, UH, THE POTENTIAL DRAINAGE ISSUES, UH, WITH THE CONCRETE GOING DOWN, UH, IN THAT PROPERTY? THE LANDSCAPE NEEDS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE, UH, POSSIBILITY OF FLOODING MM-HMM .

ON, UH, THERE ON COLLEGE, UH, AND, AND JOHNSON STREET.

UH, THE ISSUE IS REALLY, UH, THERE'S A MAJOR ISSUE WITH SOMETHING SIMILAR ALONG THE BACKSIDE OF DEBERRY, THOSE HOUSES ON DEBERRY, WHICH IS FURTHER NORTH, UH, NOT ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY, BUT FURTHER NORTH THERE'S A DRAINAGE ISSUE.

SO EVERY TIME THERE'S A HARD RAIN OR A SUSTAINED RAIN, UH, THOSE, UH, HOMES, NOT THE HOMES THEMSELVES, BUT THEIR YARDS GET TURNED INTO LAKES.

AND IN SOME CASES, EVEN THE FRONT YARDS HAVE, UH, SMALL LAKES WITH, UH, HEAVY RAIN OR A SUSTAINED RAIN.

SO ARE WE LOOKING AT, UH, UH, ELEVATION AND THE EFFECTS IT MIGHT HAVE HEAVY RAIN MIGHT HAVE ON THOSE HOUSES ON, UH, COLLEGE.

COLLEGE? YEAH.

THIS PROPERTY HAS NOT BEEN PLATTED YET.

SO AT THE TIME THAT THEY GO THROUGH PLATTING, THAT'S WHEN THEY WOULD DO ALL OF THE ENG ENGINEERING STUDIES.

I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS, UM, AN INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRAINT ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY RELATED TO A SEWER LINE THAT NEEDS TO BE UPSIZED.

SO, UM, I THINK THAT ALL OF THAT WOULD, WOULD BE DISCUSSED AT THE TIME THAT THEY PLA IT WASN'T THAT ADDRESSED WHEN, UH, THEY WERE, UH, LOOKING TO PUT HOMES THERE ON JOHNSON ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF JOHNSON.

WASN'T THAT DRAINAGE ISSUE UH, ADDRESSED AT THAT TIME? THIS WAS SPECIFICALLY A SEWAGE NOT STORM WATER ISSUE.

SO TO MY UNDERSTANDING, THEY STILL HAVE, UM, A SEWAGE CONSTRAINT ON THAT LOT.

SURE.

I I WAS NOTICING THAT THE CREEK'S NOT SHOWN HERE.

THAT GOES LIKE UNDER THE, THE HIGHWAY AND FARTHER ON DOWN THAT WAY.

AND, UH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING.

MORE CEMENT MEANS MORE RUNOFF MEANS MORE FLOW, FAST FLOW.

THE AREA LOCATION MAP DOES SHOW COTTONWOOD CREEK.

THEY'RE GETTING THAT FLOODPLAIN WOULD BE SHOWN ON THE PLAT TOO.

UM, WE DO HAVE

[00:10:01]

I, I, I CAN.

WELL, I'M, I'M, I'M GONNA OPEN THIS FOR PUBLIC HEARING SO THEN I COULD INVITE ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS TO PLEASE COME UP AND I I'LL GET THERE.

, DON'T HIT ME AGAIN.

.

THAT'S WHY I HAVE AN OPEN BOTTLE OF WATER.

, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND YES.

EXPLAIN LITTLE FOR US.

THANK YOU.

I HAVE A HABIT OF THINKING OUT LOUD.

.

GOOD EVENING.

HE SITS HERE SO I CAN HEAR.

MY NAME IS MAG KOFF.

I'M WITH ROCK DESIGN ENGINEERS AND I REPRESENT A CLIENT AND I LIVE A SIX 50 EAST TRIP, SUNNYVALE, TEXAS 7 5 1 8 2.

UH, YEAH.

YES.

WE ACTUALLY HAD WORKED WITH THE CITY STAFF ALL ALONG WITH THE UTILITIES WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND WE DID CONTACT TDOT ON THE DRIVEWAYS AND WE WORKED WITH THE CITY ENGINEER BAND ON THE STRUCTURE AND THE STREETS AND DRAINAGE FACTOR OF IT.

WE ACTUALLY, ALL THAT IS DEDICATED AS A DETENTION PROMPT ALL ALONG.

JOHNSON.

THAT'S ALL DETENTION, OF COURSE, THAT'S ALL PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS.

AS LAURA SAID, WHEN WE GET TO THE PLANNING, WE WILL HAVE ALL THE ENGINEERING, UH, PLANS TO SUBMIT AND GET APPROVED THROUGH THE CITY ENGINEER.

BUT WE DID TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND WE'RE, UH, DEDICATING ALL OF THAT AS A DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND IT'LL BE DETENTION POND.

OKAY.

WE HAVE A COPY OF THAT, BUT IT'S SO SMALL.

IT'S HARD FOR IT TO, IT'S HARD TO SEE.

YEAH, SOME SURE DON'T HAVE ANY COLORS ON IT.

.

OH, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY COLORS.

OKAY.

.

YEAH, BUT WE, WE, WE DID LOOK AT THAT AND WE ANTICIPATED THAT AND WE'VE GOT A DETENTION POND ALL ALONG, BOTH STREETS.

OKAY.

WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I CAN TAKE WHILE I'M HERE? NO.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? ANYBODY WANT TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ITEM? OKAY, I'M GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 42.

COULD I HAVE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM? I HAVE A QUESTION.

.

OKAY.

ARE WE DOING A CUP OR ARE WE DOING A PD? THIS IS A PD THAT ESSENTIALLY REMOVES THAT CUP TRIGGER FOR EVERYTHING, BUT THE STANDARDS THAT IT REQUIRES ARE IN PLACE.

THE ONLY PLACE THAT I SEE THAT PD STUFF IS ON THE APPROVAL OR DENIAL IS IT, IS IT ON THIS PART THEY DID NOT SUBMIT A DETAILED PLAN DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION LIKE THE OTHER PD DID.

SO THEY'RE JUST DEFAULTING TO THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED UNDER THOSE ZONINGS? NO, YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT AS A PD.

UM, I THINK THAT YOU'VE SEEN A SIMILAR TYPE OF PD AT THE EAST SIDE OF MARS ROAD IN 35.

MAYBE.

THERE WAS A LARGE PD THAT PART OF IT CONTAINED A HOSPITAL SPACE, BUT THEY HAD FORMED A PD ALONG THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHY WE HAVE SEVERAL PDS ALONG THE CORRIDOR.

SEEMS LIKE IT OUGHT TO BE A PD PACKET.

IT OUGHT TO BE ADDRESSED AS A PD INSTEAD OF DISCUSSED AS.

BUT I, I THINK, I THINK WHAT SHE'S NOT TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH AND IF I'M DON'T SAY THIS RIGHT, YOU SAY SAY SO.

BUT WHAT SHE'S SAYING IS THEY'RE ASKING TO HAVE THIS DONE AS A PD, BUT THEY'RE, IT'S NOT BEING SUBMITTED WITH THE FULL PD PLAN BECAUSE THEY'RE COMPLYING WITH, THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY VARIATIONS FROM WHAT IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED AND THE CORRIDOR OVERLAY RESTRICTIONS, THEY'RE GONNA

[00:15:01]

YES.

THIS IS JUST SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO FILE FOR SEPARATE CS EVERY TIME THEY PUT IN ANOTHER RETAIL SPACE OR CORRECT.

WHATEVER THAT WAS THE CONCERN WHEN WE MET WITH THE OWNER IS IF HE'S, HE'LL HAVE TO PLA IT OBVIOUSLY IN ADVANCE, BUT AT THE TIME WHEN HE IS SELLING OFF THESE LOTS, UM, HE DIDN'T WANT THIS ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENT TO BE SOMETHING THAT IMPACTED THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY, MAKING IT EASIER TO DEAL WITH THE CITY AND BANKS.

BECAUSE BANKS, IF YOU HAVE A CUP PENDING, THEN THEY DON'T TAKE THAT AS A USE THAT'S ENTITLED BY.

RIGHT.

AND I THINK THAT CAN IMPACT THE WAY THAT THAT GETS LOOKED AT.

BUT I'M DON'T DO FINANCE, SO I DON'T KNOW.

OKAY.

SO ON THIS ZONING MAP, THAT C TWO THAT I'M SEEING THERE ON THE ZONING MAP MM-HMM .

THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS? YES IT IS.

OKAY.

SO WE HAVE C ONE AND C TWO IN THIS.

ARE THERE CONCERNS WITH ANY OF THE USES FROM C TWO THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU MIGHT BE THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR? WELL, IT JUST FEELS COMMERCIAL RESTRICTED AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL.

SO IT JUST, AND NOT BEING A PD IT JUST FEELS AWKWARD, SHALL I SAY.

OKAY.

GET THE PICTURE.

I THINK THE SOLUTION TO THIS IS FIXING THE ORDINANCE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE SO THAT PEOPLE AREN'T TRYING TO CREATE ZONING DISTRICTS TO GET AROUND SOMETHING IN ANOTHER ZONING DISTRICT.

MAY I HAVE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM? I MOVE TO APPROVE WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS OF THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY ARE ALSO REQUIRED.

A ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

OKAY.

TO MAKE A NOTE, OUR NEXT

[5.Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council for approval of rezoning request from "C2" General Commercial and "HC" Highway Corridor overlay to a Planned Development, DCAD #65127160010060000.]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

AND HC HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT D CAD NUMBER 6 5 1 2 7 1 6 0 0 1.

0 0 6.

0 0 0 0.

OKAY, LAURA? UM, THIS IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR A DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE PROBABLY HEARD OF SUNRIDGE STATION.

UM, THE, I UNFORTUNATELY HAD AN ERROR WITH THE NOTICE MAP THAT WENT OUT AND THERE'S GONNA BE A SECOND PORTION OF THIS CASE COMING TO YOU IN THE FUTURE.

THIS PORTION IS WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.

IT'S THE COMMERCIAL PORTION THAT SITS BETWEEN GOOD ROAD AND I 45 NORTH OF PLEASANT RUN.

UM, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SIMILAR TO THE OTHER PD THAT THESE LOTS BE ABLE TO BE PLATTED OFF AND SOLD FOR DEVELOPMENT.

UM, THEY, THE CITY AND THE ENGINEER HAS WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT ON THE CIVIL, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE DESIGN AND THE STREET PROJECTS.

I THINK THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAD THEIR PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING THIS WEEK.

SO, UM, THAT HAS ALL BEEN REVIEWED BY THE ENGINEER AND THEY'RE JUST COMING IN SIMILARLY TO TAKE CARE OF THAT CUP PIECE.

AND I WILL BRING YOU THE MULTIFAMILY PORTION AFTER I SEND OUT THE NOTICE QUESTIONS FOR LAURA.

I'M LOOKING AT THE FUTURE LINE.

LORI.

LORI, PULL YOUR

[00:20:01]

AND PICK UP.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

I'M I'M LOOKING AT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND IT SAYS THE PURPLE IS INDUSTRIAL AND WAREHOUSE.

AND THEN I'M LOOKING AT THE ZONING MAP AND IT'S SHOWING THAT I, I THINK THAT'S C TWO.

YES.

THE DARKER RED WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE LAND USE MAP.

IF YOU ADOPT A ZONING CHANGE, TYPICALLY THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WOULD CHANGE WHEN THE COUNCIL ADOPTS IT.

THAT'S HOW I'VE SEEN IT IN THE PAST.

THEIR DECISION ON A CASE AS A REFLECTION OF THEIR POLICY CHOICE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW WILMER HAS DONE IT.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT A FUTURE LAND USE MAP APPLICATION.

AND I HAVE LOOKED SO WELL, I WAS JUST LOOKING AT WHAT WAS PUT IN THE PACKET.

YES.

SO IT DIDN'T, SO YES, THE FUTURE LAND USE, LAND USE RIGHT NOW SAYS INDUSTRIAL.

IF THE COUNCIL ADOPTS THIS PD AND CHANGES IT, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ADOPT UM, THE FUTURE MULTIFAMILY PORTION, THEN THE FUTURE LAND USE WOULD CHANGE TO REFLECT THAT.

OKAY.

WELL THE ZONING MAP, THE ZONING MAP SAYS C TWO.

SO IT'S THE LAND USE MAP.

IT'S, YES, IT DOES NOT MATCH.

RIGHT.

OKAY.

I'LL JUST WAIT AND HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT.

OKAY.

OKAY.

AT THIS TIME I'M GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? IS THERE SOMEONE HERE? OH, MR. RADER .

MIKE RADER, 6 0 1 1 GREEN ROAD, HUTCHINS IN COLLEAGUE OF TEXAS.

UM, WE ANTICIPATED PRESENTING THE WHOLE PROJECT TO YOU TONIGHT, BUT THERE WAS A CLERICAL ERROR WHICH HAS CAUSED SOME DELAY TO THAT AND I HAVE REQUESTED THAT WE GO TO YOUR NEXT PNZ MEETING SO THAT WE CAN GET IT EVERYTHING ALL IN ORDER.

THIS IS SUNRIDGE STATION.

IT'S A MULTI-USE FACILITY, HOSPITAL AREA, HOTELS, COMMERCIAL RESTAURANTS, RETAIL, POSSIBLE OTHER THINGS.

MULTI-FAMILY MIXED IN TO THE EAST SIDE OF, UH, GOOD ROAD.

SO IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT.

WE'RE TRYING TO BRING TOGETHER FULLY MIXED USE AND I WOULD REQUEST THAT WE TAKE THIS UP THE NEXT PNZ MEETING WHEN WE CAN DO A FULL PRESENTATION WITH IT.

SO YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT TO BE PULLED FROM TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

TABLE IT SO WE GET TO GO TO THE NEXT AGENDA 'CAUSE THEY'VE GOTTA GET THE NOTIFICATIONS OUT TO ALL THE YES.

PROPERTY OWNERS.

ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS.

FORTUNATELY WE'VE GOT THREE.

THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TO WORK WITH.

YES, THERE'S THREE THAT WE DIDN'T NOTIFY.

OKAY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE.

WE'RE YEAH, NO ACTION FOR TONIGHT.

OKAY.

WE'LL LOOK AT IT THE EIGHTH.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

YOU THANK YOU.

DOES TABLING THIS OR BRINGING IT BACK AS A NEW ITEM? THE FULL ITEM? I, I MOVED TO TABLE IT TILL IT'LL HAVE TO BE AN EXPANDED ITEM NEXT TIME.

IF YOU'RE ADDING A PIECE TO IT, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO ADVERTISE ALL THAT TOGETHER, SO, OKAY.

WE CAN PROBABLY JUST, WE WOULDN'T CONTINUE THIS ONE.

JUST WITHDRAW THIS ONE.

WE TABLE THIS ONE OR WITHDRAW IT.

OKAY.

BECAUSE YOU'D HAVE TO RE ADVERTISE FOR THE WHOLE PARCEL OR TWO PARCELS.

OKAY.

SO BEFORE I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK EITHER FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? JUST SO WE HAVE THE INFORMATION BEFORE WE TABLE IT OR REMOVE IT? .

OKAY, FINE.

I'M GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 54.

AND DO I NEED A MOTION TO WITHDRAW THE ITEM OR SINCE HE'S REQUESTED IT? UH, JUST A MOTION TO TABLE.

OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE I MOTION TO TABLE SECOND.

WE, WE

[00:25:01]

OKAY.

TO ENCOMPASS BOTH LOTS.

IT'S ONLY ONE LOCK RIGHT NOW, SO ADD ANYTHING TO IT.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF TABLING THIS ITEM.

AYE.

AYE.

OKAY.

NEXT ITEM

[6.Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council for approval of rezoning request from "NZ" Not Zoned to "L1" Light Industrial, DCAD #65062828510020000]

0 0 0 0.

LAURA, SORRY.

NO, THAT'S GOOD.

I'VE GOTTA KEEP, KEEP TRYING.

THERE'S ALWAYS MORE ZEROS IT SEEMS LIKE.

.

UH, THIS PROPERTY IS AT 2200 SOUTH MILLERS FERRY ROAD.

UM, IT DOES NOT HAVE A ZONING DISTRICT IN PLACE RIGHT NOW.

UH, ALL OF THE OTHER PROPERTY AROUND IT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AS INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY.

THEY'RE COMING IN AND REQUESTING TO DEVELOP IN A SIMILAR FASHION.

UM, THIS LOT HAS REMAINED VACANT.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS DUE TO A SEWER CONSTRAINT AT THIS LOCATION AS WELL.

UM, BUT WE HAVE ANOTHER APPLICANT COMING IN WITH A PROPOSAL TO FIX THAT OR BUILD THE CAPACITY.

UM, THEY ARE PROPOSING THAT THEY, OR THEY INCLUDED SOME LANDSCAPING FOR YOU TO LOOK AT IF THEY FOLLOW THE LANDSCAPING THAT'S REQUIRED.

UM, IT'S GONNA BE REALLY HARD TO EVEN SEE THAT BUILDING FROM THE HIGHWAY WITH TREES PLANTED EVERY 30 FEET.

UM, AND BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT'S SURROUNDED BY INDUSTRIAL USES, UH, STAFF'S RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.

SO IT'S GONNA HAVE TO, IT'S GONNA BE IN THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR TOO.

IT IS NOT.

THIS WOULD BE JUST ZONING IT TO THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

I DID NOT INCLUDE THE HIGHWAY OVERLAY.

I DID LOOK AT WHAT WOULD APPLY FROM THE HIGHWAY OVERLAY AND IT'S REALLY THE LANDSCAPING THAT'S GONNA HAVE THE BIGGEST IMPACT THAT THEY AGREED TO COMPLY WITH.

UM, THEY JUST WOULD NOT, THEY WOULD PREFER NOT TO SEE A PD OR HAVE THE OVERLAY ON REQUIRING THEM TO COME IN ANYTIME THEY CHANGE THEIR TENANT.

IT SAYS THE PROPERTY IS ALSO LOCATED IN THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY.

YES.

THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY IS PART OF YOUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

SO WE'RE STILL KIND OF LOOKING AT HOW THAT INTERACTS.

ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

AT THIS TIME I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? ADAM, GOOD EVENING.

UH, KENNY HEATH WITH JOHNSON DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATES, UH, THE APPLICANT FOR THIS PROPERTY.

UM, JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

COREY, ANY, ANY? OKAY.

THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE YOU COMING.

DOES ANY ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? OKAY, THIS TIME I'M GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 59.

I HAVE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM.

I MOVE TO APPROVE.

I'LL SECOND THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

OKAY.

OKAY.

ITEM

[7.Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council for approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for an Office/Warehouse/Showroom at the property located at 120 & 124 E. Belt Line Road, DCAD #54000500000340000 and #54000500000330000.]

[00:30:01]

D AD NUMBER 5 4 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 3 4 0 0 0 0.

AND NUMBER 5 4 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 0.

3 3 0 0 0 0.

LAURA.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT ONE 20 AND 1 24 EAST BELTLINE.

AND THIS IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED C ONE COMMERCIAL AND IT'S A VACANT PROPERTY ON THE WEST SIDE.

THERE'S A NARROW EIGHT FOOT ALLEY AND UM, TO THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY THERE'S A PAPER STREET FERRIS STREET THAT SEPARATES IT FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS, THE HESTERS TO THE SOUTH.

UM, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE CUP SO THAT THEY CAN OPERATE, UM, RUE STONE.

IT'S A COMPANY THAT FABRICATES GRANITE, MARBLE AND QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS.

THEY HAVE A SPECIAL FABRICATION SHOP, UM, WITH TOOLS AND VENTILATION.

THEY WILL MEET ALL OF THE CODE REQUIREMENTS.

UM, THE LANDSCAPING THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING MEETS WHAT'S REQUIRED IN THE HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL OVERLAY.

SO THEY HAVE SEVEN TREES THAT THEY'RE SHOWING.

UM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE, SO I'M REQUESTING THAT UM, YOU GUYS APPLY THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS TO THE BUILDING.

IT IS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

UM, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.

IS THERE A BIG TREE THERE ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY? IS THERE A BIG TREE ON THAT PROPERTY? DO YOU KNOW A GREAT BIG POND TREE OR IS THAT ON THE PIECE THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO IT? I CAN'T TELL BY THE PICTURE.

I KNOW, I, I'M THINKING IT MAY BE ON THE PIECE NEXT TO IT.

THERE ARE COUNTRIES THERE BETWEEN THE PRETORIA AND THE CHURCH.

IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE.

UH, I'M GETTING TOLD THAT THE PECAN TREES ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE CLOSER TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

BUT ANY, ANYTHING THAT THEY COME IN TO DEVELOP, THEY'D HAVE TO MEET THE TREE ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS HERE.

AND I KNOW THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT AS STRENUOUS YOU WOULD LIKE, BUT THEY WILL CONFORM .

WELL I JUST WANT 'EM TO FOLLOW THE ORDINANCE.

I JUST WANT 'EM TO TELL YOU WHEN THEY DO IT.

WHAT ABOUT SOUND FOR THIS, THIS WOULD JUST HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ANY SOUND ORDINANCES THAT THE CITY HAS.

WHAT ABOUT THE HOURS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE HOURS THAT THEY WOULD BE WORKING BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA BE CUTTING STUFF AND THERE'S SOME HOUSES ACROSS THE STREET THERE.

DO YOU WANT TO CONSIDER OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS ON IT? LIKE THE TIMES OF CUTTING? I DON'T, THE CITY HAS LIKE NOISE AND CONSTRUCTION ORDINANCES IN PLACE, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULD TREAT THIS DIFFERENTLY.

WE WOULD JUST, IF THERE WAS A NOISE COMPLAINT, WE WOULD CALL THE POLICE AND PURSUE THAT.

BUT IF THEY'RE COMING IN WITH ANY KIND OF SPECIAL EQUIPMENT, THEN WHEN THEY DO THE BUILDING PERMIT REVIEW AND THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT REVIEW AND INSPECTION, THEY'LL LOOK AT THAT.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE OR A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE APPLICANT HERE? NO, THIS, UM, WILL BE COMING BACK BEFORE YOU 'CAUSE IT ALSO IS NOT PLATTED.

SO, UM, IF YOU WANTED TO WAIT AND TALK TO THE APPLICANT, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND.

I THINK I'D BE MORE CONCERNED A QUESTION ABOUT THE DAILY OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS AND THE NOISE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT FROM THAT AS OPPOSED TO THE CONSTRUCTION.

I MEAN, WE KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE NOISE DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.

NO, I MEANT THAT

[00:35:01]

SO I WOULD CLASSIFY CUTTING COUNTERTOPS AS A CONSTRUCTION SOUND, NOT CONSTRUCTION OCCURRING ON THAT SITE, BUT THAT'S TIED TO CONSTRUCTION.

OKAY.

BUT IT, SO THEY CAN'T JUST MAKE AS MUCH NOISE AS THEY WOULD LIKE.

OKAY.

BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING IT INSIDE THEIR BUILDING AS OPPOSED TO OUTSIDE CONSTRUCTION NOISE WHILE A BUILDING IS BEING CONSTRUCTED, IS IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF NOISE? YES.

IS MY POINT.

YES.

OKAY.

SO WELL, I I JUST KNOW THAT I'VE SEEN, I I I'VE HEARD SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT, UM, PLACES THAT ARE DOING WORK AND THEY'RE MAKING NOISES AND THEY'RE WORKING LIKE INTO THE NIGHT AND KNOW AND, AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE ENFORCEMENT.

LIKE WHAT'S THEIR HOURS OF OPERATION? YOU KNOW, I, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEIR HOURS OF OPERATIONS ARE GOING TO BE.

I, AND I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, IS THAT, AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT LORI'S REFERRING TO, BUT IS THAT A QUESTION FOR P AND Z? I THINK THE QUESTION BEFORE YOU IS, WILL AN OFFICE SHOWROOM WAREHOUSE THAT'S AN ENCLOSED BUILDING WITH THAT USE HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY A NEGATIVE IMPACT THAT WOULD CAUSE YOU TO DENY THE CUP? RIGHT? SO IS IT GONNA GENERATE EXCESSIVE TRAFFIC OR, I MEAN, WE'VE HAD SOME CUP USES WHERE WE, WE'VE HAD 18 WHEELERS BRINGING IN TRUCKLOADS OF THINGS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THAT KIND OF VOLUME HERE IS NOT THAT BIG OF A STORE AND THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY EXPANSION ROOM.

WELL, AND THAT'S THE THING, BUT HOW ARE THE SLABS OF GRANITE GONNA GET THERE IF THEY'RE NOT BROUGHT IN BY A TRUCK? OH YEAH, I HEAR YOU.

I MEAN THAT AND, AND YOU KNOW, THE IDEA OF A RETAIL SHOWROOM SPACE OF SOME SORT IN WILMER AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IS A POSITIVE BECAUSE THAT BRINGS OUTSIDE PEOPLE INTO OUR TOWN LOOKING AT WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER.

OKAY.

AND SO THE MORE OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE COMING IN TO LOOK AT SELECTING COUNTERTOPS, , THEY MAY WANT TO BUY A SANDWICH SOMEWHERE.

THEY MIGHT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN THERE'RE SO THERE'S, THERE'S POSITIVE IMPACT FROM THIS SO THAT I, YOU KNOW, I'M ENCOURAGED ABOUT THAT.

BUT THE LOGISTICS OF HOW MUCH PARKING SPACES THERE'RE GONNA BE, HOW DO, HOW DO YOU, HOW DOES THE, THE, UH, MATERIAL GET HERE? I MEAN WE, WE'VE HAD THAT ISSUE WITH YOU, YOU KNOW, THE, THE HESTERS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEIR PROPERTY OF TRUCK ACCESS.

SO, UH, AND IT SAYS IN HERE THERE'S GONNA BE THREE MAIN AREAS, FABRICATION SHOP, A PORTION OF THE BUILDING WE RETAINED FOR STORAGE OF MATERIALS.

SO THAT'S YEAH, YOUR GRANITE AND YOUR MARBLE.

AND THEN FINALLY ACCESSIBLE RETAIL SPACE WHERE CUSTOMERS WILL SELECT MATERIALS.

AND WHEN I CAME UP HERE TO GET MY PACKET, , I MEAN THAT AREA RIGHT THERE, WHOA.

THE TRAFFIC WAS AWFUL.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST TERRIBLE.

HOW, HOW'S THAT ALL GOING TO BE? HOW'S THAT GOING TO FIT? I MEAN, I'M WITH YOU.

I IF, IF WE'RE GONNA GET SOME SALES TAX, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA GET SALES TAX IF, IF IT'S NOT SOLD TO, UM, COMMERCIAL PEOPLE, IF IT'S SOLD JUST TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I OR WHATEVER LIKE THAT.

RIGHT.

BUT I STILL HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT THEIR HOURS ARE GOING TO BE, WHAT THE ACCESS THE PARKING.

AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ON HERE.

CUP IS FOR THE SHOW, UH, SHOWROOM ASPECT OF THE BUSINESS ONLY BECAUSE, UH, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THEY HAVE THE, UH, BY RIGHT.

THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO MANUFACTURE,

[00:40:01]

CORRECT.

SO THE ONLY ASPECT THAT THEY'RE ASKING FROM US MM-HMM UH, IS THE ABILITY TO HAVE A, HAVE THE OFFICE SHOWROOM WAREHOUSE.

YES.

OTHERWISE EVERYTHING ELSE IS THEY'RE ABLE TO DO BY, RIGHT.

YES.

IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE COMMERCIAL DAIRY OPERATION WHERE AN INDUSTRIAL USE IS ALLOWED.

THIS PARTICULAR ONE HAS A CUP TIED TO IT BECAUSE OF THE SHOWROOM.

YES.

THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THAT A CPU IS, IS REQUIRED.

CORRECT.

RIGHT.

THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO MANUFACTURE THE COUNTERTOPS WITHOUT OUR APPROVAL.

IS THAT CORRECT? THE ONLY REASON FOR THE CPU, UH, CUP IS FOR THE SHOWROOM PORTION.

YEAH.

'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF USE WHERE IT'S AN OFFICE, A WAREHOUSE, AND A SHOWROOM AND ONE THAT'S KIND OF A UNIQUE RETAIL BUILDING.

IT'S NOT LIKE A NORMAL STORE.

RIGHT.

SO, BUT IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT, THEN I'D RATHER YOU TABLE THIS OR I THINK WE NEED SOME MORE INFORMATION.

OKAY.

YEAH.

OKAY.

OKAY.

MOTION FOR THAT.

WELL, SHOULD I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING IN CASE THERE'S SOMEBODY HERE THAT WANTS TO THANK? SURE.

SO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN ONE OF YOU MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND, UM, STAFF CAN ADVISE ON THE DATE THAT YOU'LL CONTINUE THAT TOO.

SO, WHICH WHENEVER YOUR NEXT MEETING IS, I WOULD CONTINUE IT TO THAT DATE IN YOUR MOTION.

BUT YOU DO NEED TO, YEAH.

YEAH.

OKAY.

SO I'M GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR THIS ITEM OR AGAINST THIS ITEM.

OKAY.

I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT SEVEN 12.

CHAIR, YOU WOULDN'T CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

YOU WOULD CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I'M GONNA CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

YOU WOULDN'T NEED A MOTION TO DO THAT.

YOU COULDN'T DO IT UNILATERALLY.

RIGHT.

OKAY.

I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M GONNA, I NEED A MOTION TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING STAFF ADVISE OF THAT DATE.

PLEASE.

THAT DATE IS THE 8TH OF OCTOBER.

MOTION TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO OCTOBER 8TH.

AND THAT'LL BE ENOUGH TIME TO GET EVERYTHING.

WE OKAY.

OKAY.

SO I NEED A MOTION TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL OCTOBER 8TH.

I MOVE TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL, UH, THE NEXT P AND Z MEETING ON OCTOBER 8TH.

I'LL SECOND.

OKAY.

IT'S NOT DESIGNED FOR TRUCKS TO GET IN THERE.

THERE'S NO FUELING SPOTS FOR 'EM, NO PARKING SPOTS FOR 'EM.

NOTHING.

OKAY.

YES MA'AM.

AND THAT LEAVES THE REST OF THAT PROPERTY FOR DEVELOPMENT, OTHER, OTHER RETAIL OR OTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THERE? YES.

CORRECT.

YES.

THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING FACE BELTLINE, WILL IT NOT? YES.

AND HOW IS THE, UH, THAT INTERSECTION AT BELT LINE BEING ADDRESSED TO ACCOMMODATE THE STORE? WE'RE GONNA WORK ON THE FLORA IN THE CITY HERE.

WE'RE GONNA RUN A TIA ON THERE AND IF WE NEED TO PUT A DESAL LANE IN OR AN EXTRA WING ROAD DOWN TO MAKE SURE THE TRAFFIC DOESN'T STACK IN THERE, THAT'S THE WORST THING WE WANT FOR OUR STORES.

ANY SORT OF STACKING.

SO WE'LL DO WHATEVER IT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE SURE THE TRAFFIC SLOW.

I KNOW IT'S, IT'S JAM PACKED IN THERE.

SO WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT, WORKING WITH THE ENGINEERING TEAM WITH, I'VE GOT MY ENGINEER HERE TOO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT FLOWS AS SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE AND GETS PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THERE, WE'LL ACCOMMODATE ANY OF THAT.

WE ARE BUYING THAT WHOLE 20 ACRES RIGHT THERE.

SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE THOSE AROUND OR ADD ANYTHING WE WANT TO IN THERE.

OKAY.

THAT'S GOOD.

SO YOU'VE ALREADY BOUGHT IT? WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING IT.

WE'RE IN THE INSPECTION PERIOD.

DO YOU HAVE A CONTRACT ON IT? YES MA'AM.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO COME TAKE A RIDE IN AND A RIDE OUT ON THE HIGHWAY BUILDING WILL BE FACING.

YEAH, THE BUILDING IS FACING BELTLINE AND THEN THE LIKE CUSTOMER PARKING AREAS ON THE I 45 SIDE THAT NEED TO BE COORDINATED WITH UH, T STOCK.

YES SIR.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE COUNTY FOR THE BELTLINE ROAD PARK? YES.

SO, OR THAT PART OF BELTLINE STRICTLY FALLS UNDER CITY OF WILMER JURISDICTION.

WELL WE HAD IT RECORDED.

, THANK YOU VERY

[00:50:01]

OKAY, THANK Y'ALL.

APPRECIATE IT.

DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ITEM? YES, PLEASE COME UP AND GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

MY NAME'S ERNIE VIGAS.

UH, I'VE WORKED IN AND AROUND CITY OF WILMAR FOR ABOUT THE LAST 15 YEARS AND I'VE WATCHED THE GROWTH OF THE AREA EXPAND CONSIDERABLY.

I'VE ALSO SEEN THE TRAFFIC JUST SKI DANGEROUS AT THAT INTERSECTION.

THE BELT LINE COMING OFF OF 45 NORTH, LEAVING AND THEN COMING OFF SOUTH AND GOING ON DOWN TOWARDS WHERE THE CIRCLE IS.

SO I'M NOT OPPOSED TO, UM, UH, DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CITY OF WILMER OR THE TAX BASE THAT BRINGS UP, BUT WHAT I'M OPPOSED TO IS THE TRAFFIC AND THE LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN THAT AREA.

UM, IT'S THE, THE TRAFFIC ALREADY HAS NO ROOM TO GO ANYWHERE.

YOU GOT THREE LIKE STATIONS ON THREE CORNERS OF THE, UM, IN THAT INTERSECTION THERE.

I'LL PROVIDE THE SAME KIND OF SERVICE ONE WITH TRUCKS.

AND NOW YOU GOT CIRCLE K IF SOMEONE WANTS TO COME, UH, DOWN TO CIRCLE K FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION, THEY GOTTA COME AROUND THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION AND RUN ON BACK DOWN THERE.

IT JUST CREATES PRETTY DANGEROUS MESS.

I'VE ALSO SEEN A LOT OF ACCIDENTS ON THAT CORNER.

I'VE ALSO SEEN HOW ALL THE, THE TRUCK AND UH, TRACTOR TRAILER, UH, CONSTRUCTION TRUCK AND TRAILERS CUT OVER THOSE MERIDIANS AND ACROSS AND RUN INTO EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING THERE.

I'VE SEEN 'EM BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY RIGHT THERE BY THIS PROPOSED LOCATION.

UM, AND IT, AND IT REALLY CREATES QUITE A, QUITE A GLUT, UH, IN THAT AREA.

AND THEN, AS I SAID EARLIER, ALSO, UM, THE LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE SO INTIMATELY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT, I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SOME OF THAT THERE.

AND A LOT OF THE CITY'S, UH, DRAWINGS ARE INCORRECT WITH WHERE THOSE INFRASTRUCTURES ARE IN PLACES OR WATER.

UM, LACK OF GAS, UH, IN THAT IMMEDIATE AREA.

SO THAT CREATES ANOTHER PROBLEM.

AND IT'S, UH, TO THE OTHER LOCAL BUSINESSES AROUND THERE, UM, TO EVEN TRY TO CORRECT THOSE AND EXPAND THEM.

IT'S GONNA TAKE CONSIDERABLE WORK.

NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND THE STUDIES AND TDOT AND, YOU KNOW, DE CELL LANE.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM THERE FOR DE CELL LANES.

I'VE SEEN HOW, UH, IT GLUTS UP WHEN YOU WANT TO GET ONTO 45, UH, FROM THAT BELTLINE INTERSECTION GOING TOWARDS DALLAS.

I MEAN IT'S, IT'S BAD.

UM, YEAH, I'M ALL FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF WILMER.

LIKE I SAID, I'VE WATCHED IT GROW, RIGHT.

I'M A DONOR TO A LOT OF THE STUFF IN THE CITY OF WILMER AND WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO, BUT, UH, I I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY A BETTER USE, A SAFER USE FOR ALL OF US, UH, THERE THAT WON'T BRING THAT KIND OF TRAFFIC TO THAT, THAT AREA.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

WELL THANK YOU.

THANK YOU ALL.

APPRECIATE IT.

YEAH.

APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT NAME AGAIN, ERNIE.

BIGGEST, BIGGEST.

BIGGEST.

BIGGEST.

ERNIE BIGGEST.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY.

ANYONE ELSE? OKAY, AT THIS TIME I'M GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7 23.

COULD I HAVE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM? A LOT OF THE SAME CONCERNS THAT HE DOES THAT IT'S RIGHT UP THERE, CLOSE TO IT IN THE, THE SPACE THERE FOR TRAVEL AND THAT WE'RE NOT SEEING THAT HERE ON THIS.

AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I APPRECIATE WHAT HE SAID.

BUT WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BRING ADDITIONAL TRUCK TRAFFIC IN THERE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AUTOMOBILES ONLY.

RIGHT.

OKAY.

BUT THAT'S WHERE MOST, WHAT MOST OF THE TRAFFIC IS OVER THERE ON THAT SIDE IS, ESPECIALLY SINCE BELTLINE ROAD IS OUT, IS AUTOMOBILES, IF YOU'RE COMING UP THAT RIGHT THERE AT THAT INTERSECTION.

'CAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE IN HUTCHINS IT'S, WE HAVE TWO LITTLE LANES AND YOU CAN EITHER FIGURE OUT YOU'RE GONNA GO STRAIGHT OR YOU'RE GONNA TURN BEFORE YOU GET TO THAT.

SO I, THAT'S MY CONCERN WITH IT.

I'D LOVE TO SEE TEXDOT PUT THOSE U-TURN

[00:55:01]

UM, MY, MY THINKING IS ANY RETAIL THAT WE PUT THAT, THAT DEVELOPS THERE IS GOING TO BE THE EXACT SAME SITUATION AS WE'RE HERE, UH, WITH THIS PROJECT.

SO NO MATTER WHAT RETAIL GOES THERE, IT'S GOING TO CREATE THE EXACT SAME SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN.

NOW, A GOOD BIT OF THIS TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE THROUGH UH, WILMER ON BELTLINE IS CONSTRUCTION RELATED ON THE, UH, DATA CENTERS.

UH, NOT ONLY JUST HERE IN WILMER BUT ALSO IN LANCASTER.

EXCUSE ME, LANCASTER.

UH, BECAUSE I NOTICED THE OTHER DAY THAT THE DATA CENTER UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN LANCASTER ON BELT LINE WHEN THEIR WORKERS, UH, A LOT OF THEM ALSO COME DOWN BELT LINE.

NOW A LOT OF THEM WILL SHOOT UP, UH, SUNRISE TO PLEASANT RUN.

UH, BUT THERE'S A LOT THAT DON'T.

SO NO MATTER WHAT RETAIL DEVELOPS THERE, IT'S GOING TO BE THE EXACT SAME SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN TODAY.

UH, WITH THIS ONE.

WELL I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE IT MOVED FARTHER BACK WHERE THERE'S MORE ROOM THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST, WELL, AND I THINK, DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? RIGHT.

BUT HIS POINT IS THEY OWN THE ENTIRE 20 ACRES AS THEY GET INTO THIS.

THEY CAN MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE ACCESS LANE IS, I CALL IT WHATEVER.

WE HAD SOME OF THE SIMILAR CONCERNS AND THAT'S WHY, UM, I THINK IN THE PACKET YOU'LL SEE ONE SITE PLAN THAT HAS KIND OF A DOG LEG GOING OFF BECAUSE WE SAID YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO SQUEEZE THIS ON AS SMALL OF A SITE AS POSSIBLE TO RETAIN THE REST OF THE ACREAGE FOR SALE.

UM, BUT THAT ONE, THEY JUST HAD ONE DRIVE IN AND WE NEED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT THERE.

BUT ALSO WITH THIS COMING IN, SOMEBODY'S GONNA BE PAYING TO STUDY THAT SET, STUDY THAT INTERSECTION AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE AND HELP FUND THEM.

'CAUSE RIGHT NOW WE KNOW THERE ARE PROBLEMS, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE ANY STUDIES OR FUNDING IDENTIFIED TO FIX THEM.

SO, SO WHO, WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR THAT? THE DEVELOPER WILL.

YEAH.

'CAUSE SEE WHAT, WHAT I'M SAYING IS INSTEAD OF RIGHT HERE ON THIS CORNER, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT MOVED MORE BACK LIKE HERE.

THAT, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

RIGHT.

I THINK I WOULD THINK THAT THE REST OF THAT PROPERTY WOULD BE LOOKING AT OTHER RETAILERS, UH, BACK THERE IN THAT CORNER AND FURTHER BACK ON THE PROPERTY, OTHER TYPES OF RETAILERS.

OKAY.

SO CAN I HAVE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM? I MOVE TO APPROVE.

WHO CAN I HAVE SECOND? I CAN SECOND.

IT CAN, I CAN'T MAKE, I CAN'T MAKE A MOTION, BUT I CAN, I'LL, I'LL SECOND THAT.

WE APPROVE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

OPPOSED? OKAY.

AND IT PASSES.

OKAY.
