[2. Present and Discuss the Town’s Master Developer Selection Process and the Selected Master Developer for the Transit-Oriented Development Project in the Addison Circle Area. ]
OKAY.WHAT SESSION? I CAME, NUMBER TWO, PRESENT, DISCUSS THE TOM'S MASTER DEVELOPERS SELECTION PROCESS AND THE SELECTED MASTER DEVELOPER FOR THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN THE ADDISON CIRCLE, MAYOR COUNCIL.
UH, I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE THE TOPIC HERE AND PASS THE BATON FOR A MOMENT, BUT, UH, I WANTED TO MAKE A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT.
UH, FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES, THE TOWN HAS BEEN ANTICIPATING THE ARRIVAL OF THE DART RAIL SERVICE IN ADS, IN PREPARATION FOR ITS ARRIVAL.
THE TOWN HAS BEEN PATIENTLY AND STRATEGICALLY ACCUMULATING PROPERTY AND PLANNING FOR HOW THAT PROPERTY MIGHT BE USED AS PART OF A TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT IS AN URBAN PLANNING CONCEPT, WHICH REFERS TO A TYPE OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT THAT MAXIMIZES THE AMOUNT OF RESIDENTIAL BUSINESS AND LEISURE SPACE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
AS WE WILL MENTION IN TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION, MUCH TIME AND EFFORT HAS GONE INTO DEVELOPING A VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA AROUND THE TRANSPORTATION NOTES THAT ARE PART AT THE HEART OF THIS AREA WITH GUARDS, ADDISON TRANSIT CENTER, THE BUSIEST OF ITS KIND IN THE, IN THE DART SYSTEM AND AS SILVER LINE RAIL STATION, BOTH IN ADDISON CIRCLE, ADDISON IS PRIMED TO CREATE A TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT THAT IS BOTH BEST IN CLASS AND UNIQUELY INNOVATIVE.
ADDISON HAS BEEN A PIONEER, THE CREATION OF URBAN ENVIRONMENTS, UH, IN TEXAS FOR A LONG TIME, A LOT OF ADDISON CIRCLE.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PROJECT WILL BUILD UPON THAT REPUTATION, WHETHER IT'S THE UNIQUE CO-DEVELOPER ARRANGEMENT THAT'S BEING PURSUED, OR THE FIRST OF ITS KIND GROUNDLINGS BETWEEN THE TOWN AND DART TO INCLUDE DARTS FIVE AND A HALF ACRE PROPERTY AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT OR THE USE OF THE 10 PLUS ACRE ADDISON CIRCLE PARK AS A GREEN SPACE ANCHOR, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FEATURES THAT WILL TRULY SET ADDISON APART FROM OTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA IN A WAY THAT WILL EXPAND AND SOLIDIFY AS ITS REPUTATION AS A PREMIER REGIONAL DESTINATION.
SO WE ARE PLEASED TO SHARE WITH THE COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY AND OVERVIEW OF THE MASTER DEVELOPER SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE ADDISON CIRCLE AREA, TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT OR LEARNING.
GO AHEAD AND, UH, GET STARTED ON THE PRESENTATION THAT WE'VE SET FORTH FOR YOU THIS AFTERNOON.
YOU WILL RECALL THAT AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING, UM, THE CITY COUNCIL SELECTED THE TEAM OF FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS SCREENED REALTY PARTNERS THROUGH A COMPETITIVE RFP PROCESS AS A MASTER DEVELOPER FOR LAND OWNED BY THE TOWN OF ADDISON, UH, AS WELL AS DARK AROUND THE ADDISON, UH, SILVER LINE RAIL STATION.
THE SLIDE THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU SHOWS THOSE PROPERTIES THAT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING AS PART OF THIS PRESENTATION.
THE DOTTED YELLOW LINE SHOWS THE FORMER COTTON BELT, WHICH IS NOW GOING TO BE THE STAR SILVER LINE.
THE PROPERTIES HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE ARE PROPERTIES OWNED BY THE TOWN OF ADDISON AND THE PROPERTIES HIGHLIGHTED IN
[00:05:01]
YELLOW ARE THOSE PROPERTIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY OWNED BY DARK, UH, AND WILL BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS MENTIONED, ADDISON CIRCLE IS A VERY IMPORTANT FACET OF OUR COMMUNITY.FOR MANY YEARS, THE TOWN HAS DEVELOPED A VISION TO DEVELOP A DISTINCTIVE AND CREATIVE URBAN CENTER TO ATTRACT CORPORATE OFFICES, RETAIL, AND RESTAURANTS, AND PROVIDE NEW RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS FOR FUTURE RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE, UH, SINCE, UH, FROM THE TIME THAT THE TOWN OF ADDISON BECAME A MEMBER OF DARK TOWN HAS STRATEGICALLY ACQUIRED PROPERTIES AROUND THE TRANSIT STATION.
AND MOST RECENTLY THE TOWN DEVELOPED A INNOVATIVE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH DART TO INCORPORATE THOSE PROPERTIES OWNED BY DART.
AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, YOU WILL ALSO THAT IN 2018 CITY COUNCIL COMMISSIONED AND ADOPTED A SPECIAL AREA STUDY TO EXPAND THE ADDISON CIRCLE NEIGHBORHOOD, THIS STUDY RESULTED OR WILL PROVIDE FOR SEAMLESS CONNECTIONS FROM THE RAIL STATION THROUGH ADDISON CIRCLE AND IMPROVE CONDUCTIVITY SOUTH TO BELTLINE ROAD.
AS PART OF THAT STUDY, YOU WILL SEE IN THIS SLIDE, WHAT WAS ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL.
AND THIS IS THE VISION OF WHAT CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED, WHICH IS A CONTINUED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT OF ADDISON CIRCLE, INCORPORATING ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE RETAIL, AS WELL AS FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS, WHICH WOULD HELP COMPLIMENT THE EXISTING ADDISON CIRCLE, UH, AREA LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, THE TOWN OF ADDISON ENGAGED THE TEAM OF CUSHMAN AND WAKEFIELD AS REAL ESTATE ADVISORS AND BROKERS.
AND I WOULD ALSO BE REMISS NOT TO MENTION THAT WE ALSO WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH PHYLLIS GERALD OF CITY PLACE, UH, CONSULTING TO HELP PROVIDE SUPPORT IN THIS EFFORT AS WELL.
AT THE SAME TIME CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISHED A, UH, SELECTION COMMITTEE MADE UP OF COUNCIL MEMBERS, BROWN KEYPAD, AND WALDEN TO HELP PROVIDE SUPPORT ON THE RFP PROCESS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE COMMITTEE DETERMINED THE RFP REQUIREMENTS, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND SELECTION PROCESS, UH, AS PART OF THIS, UM, DEVELOPMENT, THE KIND OF ADDISON, CUSHMAN AND WAKEFIELD FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING AN RFP AND USED THE 2018 SPECIAL AREA STUDY AS THE BASIS FOR THIS RFP, THERE WERE THREE FACTORS THAT WERE INTEGRATED AND REQUIRED OF ALL DEVELOPERS THAT WOULD SUBMIT A PROPOSAL TO THE TOWN FOR CONSIDERATION.
THESE THREE FACTORS INCLUDED 300 SHARED PARKING SPACES FOR OUR SPECIAL EVENTS, MINIMUM MINIMUM BUILDING HEIGHTS OF SIX STORIES AND MINIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITY OF AT LEAST 60 ACRES, UH, PER UNIT AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AT THE SAME TIME, THE COMMITTEE AS A 60 UNITS PER ACRE, SORRY, NOW THE COMMITTEE STAFF AND CUSHMAN AND WAKEFIELD PUT TOGETHER A DEVELOP, AN AVAILABLE EVALUATION SCORE SHEET THAT WOULD BOTH MEASURE THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE FACTORS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
WE LOOKED AT THREE DIFFERENT FACTORS FOR AN EACH IN EVALUATING EACH PROPOSAL BASED ON FINANCIAL MOBILITY AND THE OPPORTUNITY OF A PROPOSAL TO EXPAND AND SOLIDIFY AS ADDISON AS A PREMIER REGIONAL DESTINATION, I WILL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON EACH OF THESE FACTORS AND WHAT WE LOOKED AT IN EVALUATING WITH EACH OF THESE PROPOSALS.
FROM THE FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, WE LOOK AT TEXTS, REVENUE, GENERATION, THE EXPERIENCE OF THE, UH, UH, POTENTIAL DEVELOPER, THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY OF THE DEVELOPER.
WE ALSO EVALUATED WHAT THEY WERE PROPOSING IN TERMS OF PRODUCT PURCHASE PRICE, AND NONREFUNDABLE DEPOSITS OF THE PROPERTIES.
AND THEN WE ALSO LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF INCENTIVES THAT THEY WOULD REQUIRE TO HELP DEVELOP, UH, THEIR INDIVIDUAL PROJECT.
FROM A MOBILITY STANDPOINT, WE LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL TO INCREASE DARK RIDERSHIP.
AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, WE LOOK WHETHER OR NOT THERE WERE MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE DART STATION, THE WALKABILITY, PEDESTRIAN
[00:10:01]
BIKE CONNECTIONS THAT WERE INCORPORATED SHARED PARKING SPACES AND ACCOMMODATION OF DART AND BUS ACTIVITIES, UH, IN THE NEAR FUTURE.AND THEN FINALLY, WE LOOKED AT HOW EACH INDIVIDUAL PROPOSAL WOULD HELP EXPAND AND SOLIDIFY ADDISON AS A PREMIER REGIONAL DESTINATION HERE IN THE AREA, WE LOOKED AT THE CREATIVITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT THEMES, THE MIX OF USES HIGH QUALITY AND DISTINCTIVE ARCHITECTURE THAT THEY WERE PROPOSING THE AMENITIES OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT DENSITY AND HIGH INTEGRATION WITH ADDISON CIRCLE AND EXPANSION SOUTHWARD TO BELTLINE ROAD, THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, AS WELL AS THE INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL POPULATION BASE, CUSHMAN AND WAKEFIELD ISSUED THE RFP IN 2021 OUT TO THE MARKET.
FOLLOWING THE CLOSURE OF THE RFP, THE TOWN OF ADDISON RECEIVED FIVE SUBSTANTIVE RESPONSES OR PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT CITY COUNCIL, AS WELL AS STAFF LISTENED IN ON THE PROPOSALS THAT WERE RECEIVED.
AND TWO FINALISTS WERE SELECTED TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE PROCESS.
ONCE IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE, THE CITY COUNCILS SELECTED THE TEAM OF FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL STRING REALTY PARTNERS, AS THE PREFERRED MASTER DEVELOPER, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT, EMILY AND STREAM HAVE PROPOSED A THREE PHASE DEVELOPMENT, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT WITH ONE INCORPORATING MOST OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WERE CORPORATED IN THEIR PROPOSALS PHASE ONE CALLS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SIX STORY, 150,000 SQUARE FOOT CLASS, A OFFICE BUILDING AT THE SOUTH EAST CORNER OF ADDISON ROAD AND FESTIVAL WAY.
IT WOULD ALSO INCORPORATE 9,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL SPACE AND A PARKING STRUCTURE OF 625 SPACES NEXT TO THE OFFICE BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE WOULD BE AN INDOOR OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING VENUE FACING ADDISON CIRCLE PARK, WHICH WOULD BE KNOWN AS THE HUB AND THEN ON PROPERTIES ALONG QUORUM DRIVE BETWEEN FESTIVAL WAY AND ARAPAHO ROAD AMALIE WOULD PROPOSE THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS, ONE HIGH RISE, WHICH WOULD BE 13 STORIES, UH, 250 UNITS WITH AN ADDITIONAL 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL SPACE.
AND ANOTHER MID RISE, SEVEN STORY, 450 UNIT COMPLEX WITH AN ADDITIONAL 5,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL SPACE.
PHASE TWO CROSSES OVER HORAM ON THE WEST SIDE, JUST NORTH OF ARAPAHO ROAD.
AND IT INCORPORATES THOSE PROPERTIES OWNED BY DARK AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, UH, OR THIS PHASE, RATHER IT CALLED SPRINT ADDITIONAL SIX STORY, 150,000 SQUARE FOOT CLASS, A OFFICE BUILDING INTEGRATED WITH AN 850 SPACE PARKING GARAGE.
THIS PARKING GARAGE WOULD CONTEND STRUCTURED PARKING FOR DARK RIDERS, AND IT WOULD ALSO CONTEMPLATE POTENTIAL RECONFIGURATION OF BUS RAIL AND OTHER MOBILITY OPERATIONS.
THE FINAL PHASE ALONG ARAPAHO AND ADDISON ROAD ON THE NORTH EAST CORNER CALLS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 120 ROOM WOOD KEKE HOTEL.
THE PROJECT, IF I'M APPROVED THIS EVENING TO MOVE FORWARD, UH, WOULD HOPEFULLY COMMENCE IN 2023 WITH COMPLETION ESTIMATED, UH, FOR ALL PHASES TO BE COMPLETE BY 2028.
THE SLIDE IN FRONT OF YOU SHOWS THE DEVELOPMENTS AND WHERE EACH OF THE BUILDINGS THAT I'VE JUST DISCUSSED WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED, UH, ON, WE HAVE A FEW SLIDES THAT WILL SHOW THE PROJECT ITSELF ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, YOU'LL SEE THE ENTERTAINMENT HUB AREA ADJACENT TO THE 13 STORY MULTI-FAMILY COMPLEX AND ON THE RIGHT
[00:15:01]
IS THE PROPOSED STREAM REALTY PARTNERS OFFICE BUILDING ALONG WITH THE PARKING STRUCTURE THAT IS BEING PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.ONCE AGAIN ON THE LEFT IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE MULTI-SITE OF THE 13 STORY MULTITENANT, UM, APARTMENT COMPLEX, THE HUB AND THE PHOTO ON THE RIGHT IS LOOKING NORTH FROM THE DART STATION.
YOU CAN SEE THE HUB AND THE MULTIFAMILY COMPLEX ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.
IN THIS SLIDE, YOU WILL SEE THE SEVEN STORY MULTI-FAMILY COMPLEX FROM A ROCK, A WHOLE ROAD, LOOKING NORTH ON QUORUM, AND THEN THE COMMON GREEN AREA OF THE PROPOSED, UH, HUB DEVELOPMENT.
NOW THE MOU FOR CONSIDERATION LATER THIS EVENING DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUTHORIZES THE CITY MANAGER TO CONTINUE NEGOTIATE EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE DEVELOPER, WHICH IS EMILY AND STRING REALTY PARTNERS.
THE MOU THAT YOU WILL ALSO, THAT YOU WILL BE CONSIDERING ALSO STATES THE BASIC FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TERMS OF THE PROJECT.
THE INCENTIVES ARE FOR PHASE ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
UH, ONLY THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL REQUESTS FOR MORE INCENTIVES FOR THE OTHER PHASES, BUT THOSE WILL BE FORTHCOMING IN THE FUTURE.
THE MOU ALSO ESTABLISHES THE TIMELINES FOR CON MEN SPENT AND COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT UPON EXECUTION OF THE MOU.
IT WILL ALSO ALLOW THE DEVELOPER TO BEGIN DUE DILIGENCE OF THE PROPERTIES, UH, INCLUDING SURVEYING AND GEOTECHNICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING FOR THE PROJECT FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT FACE, BECAUSE PHASE ONE ALONE HAS AN ESTIMATED COST OF $344 MILLION.
UPON COMPLETION OF ALL PHASES.
THE DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF $472 MILLION, UM, AS PART OF PHASE ONE AND THE OFFICE STRUCTURE ITSELF, THE TOWN OF ADDISON HAS AGREED TO DEDICATE 2.3 ACRES OF LAND FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT VALUED AT $2 MILLION STREAM REALTY PARTNERS WILL ALSO COMMISSION A PARKING STUDY TO DETERMINE THE PROPER NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES THAT WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE TOWN OF ADDISON HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE $6 MILLION IN FUNDING FOR THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARKING GARAGE.
PARKING WITHIN THE PARKING WITHIN THE GARAGE ITSELF WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR RETAIL CUSTOMERS, UM, ON NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS, AS WELL AS FOR ADDISON CIRCLE ACTIVITIES DURING OUR, UM, SPECIAL EVENTS.
IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE TOWN WILL COMMIT TO A FIVE-YEAR LEASE OF 60,000 SQUARE FEET OF THE BUILDING, WHICH REPRESENTS 40% OF THE TOTAL BUILDING A RENTABLE AREA AT 34 50 PER SQUARE FOOT, WHICH AMOUNTS TO A LITTLE OVER $2 MILLION PER YEAR.
THIS LEASE OBLIGATION WOULD BE REDUCED ON A 50 50 BASIS UNTIL THE BUILDING HAS A TENANT AND OR TENANTS OCCUPYING 120,000 SQUARE FEET UPON HAVING THIS AMOUNT OF SPACE OCCUPIED.
THE OBLIGATION FOR THE TOWN WOULD BE DIMINISHED AND, OR, UH, OUR OBLIGATIONS WOULD DISAPPEAR.
IN ADDITION TO THIS, A DEVELOPER'S OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE OBLIGATION WOULD NOT EXCEED $500,000 AND THE TOWN WOULD ALSO CAP BUILDING PERMIT FEES AT $150,000 AND WAIVE ANY ADDITIONAL EXPENSES RELATED TO A PERMIT FEES.
IN REGARDS TO THE, UH, EMILY RESIDENTIAL, UH, FAMILY, UM, PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
EMILY WOULD LEASE 10 ACRES FROM THE TOWN FOR 99 YEARS.
UNDER THE FOLLOWING TERMS, EMILY WOULD PAY $2 MILLION IN PRE PAID GROUND RENT.
THE INITIAL GROUND RENT OF $500,000 WOULD BE ADJUSTED ANNUALLY AT NO MORE THAN 3% ON A NON-COMMUNICATIVE BASIS.
AND GROUND RENT WOULD BE RESET AFTER 10 YEARS, THEN 15 YEARS BASED ON APPRAISED VALUE OF LAND AND IMPROVEMENTS.
[00:20:04]
IN ADDITION TO THIS EMILY COMMISSIONS, A MASTER STREETSCAPE STREETSCAPE PLAN FOR THE GENERAL ADDISON CIRCLE AREA TOWN FUNDS OF ANY INFRASTRUCTURE AND STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT COSTS IDENTIFIED IN THE MASTERS STREET'S GAIT PLAN, EXCEEDING $1 MILLION TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT.AFTER 10 YEARS, THE TOWN WILL PROVIDE AN OFFSET IN GROUND RENT FOR IMPROVEMENTS THAT EXCEED $1 MILLION.
ONCE EVERY 10 YEARS, THE TOWN WOULD ALSO WAIVE ANY PERMIT FEES ABOVE $250,000.
AND NATALIE WOULD CONTRIBUTE $200,000 TO THE ADDISON ARBOR FOUNDATION TO HELP FUND PUBLIC ART IN THE RIGHTS AWAY AND PUBLIC SPACES OF THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF.
IF I MAY REAL QUICK, JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT SECOND BULLET, IT SAYS THAT THE TOWN WOULD COVER ANY COSTS ON THAT OFF-SITE, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE EXCEEDING $1 MILLION, BUT UP TO A MILLION DOLLARS IS WHAT'S GOING TO BE COVERED BY AMBIENT AS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.
SO THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING $1 MILLION FOR THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL.
IN REGARDS TO THE HUB RETAIL RESTAURANT ENTERTAINMENT VENUE, THIS IS THIS, UM, THIS PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ONLINE.
THAT WOULD BE LEASED BY THE FAMILY.
THE TOWN OF ADDISON WOULD REIMBURSE, REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER, UM, UP TO $1.5 MILLION FOR ANY PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS THAT WOULD BE NEEDED FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.
THE TOWN OF ADDISON WOULD ALSO ESTABLISH A CHAPTER THREE 80 SALES TAX SHARING AGREEMENT THAT WOULD BE CAPPED AT $1.5 MILLION OR 10 YEARS.
WHICHEVER COMES FIRST AS PART OF THE SALES TAX SHARING AGREEMENT.
THE TOWN WOULD COLLECT 25% OF THE SALES TAX REVENUE THAT WOULD BE GENERATED.
AND 75% OF THAT SALES TAX GENERATED WOULD BE RETURNED TO THE, UH, DEVELOPER OR OWNERS OF THE HUB ITSELF IN REGARDS TO PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE OF THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT COMMON SENTENCE, IF ANY, WILL BE NEGOTIATED FOR PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE IN THE FUTURE BASED ON MARKET DYNAMICS AND TIMEFRAMES TO DEVELOP THOSE PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT AT THAT TIME AND SUBJECT TO DARK APPROVAL RAIL AND BUS OPERATIONS WILL BE INCORPORATED WITHIN THE D THE NEW DEVELOPMENT FOR WHICH STREAM CURRENTLY COMMITS TO $160,000 CONTRIBUTION WITH DEFINITIVE CONSTRUCTION COSTS TO BE DETERMINED IN FUTURE AGREEMENTS.
THE TOWN DART AND STREAM REALTY PARTNERS WILL ENTER INTO A PERPETUAL PARKING AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES PARKING FOR DARK RIDERS AND RETAIL PATRONS DURING THE DAY, AND PARKING ON NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS FOR OUR SPECIAL EVENTS AT ADDISON CIRCLE PARK.
IN ADDITION TO THE ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN HIGHLIGHTED AS PART OF THIS MOU, THERE ARE A FEW OTHER PROVISIONS THAT WILL ALSO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.
THE TRANSFER FEE OF 25 BASIS POINTS WILL BE PAYABLE TO THE TOWN, UM, OR RATHER WILL BE ASSESSED ON ALL SUBSEQUENT SALES OF THE PROPERTY OR IMPROVEMENTS AT THE SELLER'S EXPENSE DARTS PROPERTY WILL BE SUBLEASED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT THAT WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE TOWN OF ADDISON, UH, AND DARK THAT YOU DILIGENCE PERIOD WOULD END ON DECEMBER 15, 20, 22, OR WHEN SUBSEQUENT DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN EXECUTED.
AND THE SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION OF ALL PHASES OF THE DEVELOPMENT ARE DEFINED AND MAY ONLY BE MODIFIED OR EXTENDED THROUGH MUTUAL AGREEMENT.
THIS NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW AN ITEMIZED LIST OF THE INCENTIVES THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT AND TOTAL THE VALUE OF THE INCENTIVES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE LITTLE OR ABOUT CLOSE TO $23 MILLION.
BUT I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT THOSE, THAT AMOUNT COULD BE MINIMIZED WITH THE ATTRACTION OF A MAJOR TENANT TO THE OFFICE BUILDING AND COST MAY ALSO BE
[00:25:01]
INCREASED AS A RESULT OF POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED TO TEST FOR PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT UPON THE APPROVAL OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING THE TRIGGERS, THE NEXT STEPS AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, THE DEVELOPER MOU WILL ALLOW THE DEVELOPER TO BEGIN SITE INVESTIGATIONS, UH, AND ENGINEERING ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES.DURING THIS TIME, THE TOWN AND THE DEVELOPERS WILL THEY GO CREATE THE TERMS OF FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS, THE DARK PROPERTY, SUBLEASE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES, AND ANY OTHER DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM WILL ALSO BEGIN AND INITIATE THE PROCESS OF REZONING THE PROPERTIES LISTED.
BEFORE I OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS I'D LIKE TO SHOW ALL OF YOU A VIDEO OF WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO SOUND IMAGES WE WILL NOW OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
WE HAVE A FISHERMEN IN WAKEFIELD THAT IS PARTICIPATING VIA ZOOM, AND WE HAVE MEMBERS OF THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM THAT ARE ALSO HERE, UM, PARTICIPATING AS WELL AS STAFF MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS.
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT, I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SLIDE 13.
I'D LIKE YOU TO, UH, US TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE PHYSI, BETTER UNDERSTAND IT'S ACTUALLY THESE PHASES.
THIS IS THE FIRST PHASE I'D LIKE TO SEE WHICH, WHICH GRAPHIC IT WAS.
IS THERE THIS, THIS PARTICULAR GRAPHIC SHOWS THE PHASING TIME TO SEE FROM THIS DISTANCE? YES, IT DOES.
SO CAN, CAN WE GET SOMEONE AT THE POINT THAT THIS, YEAH, GO AHEAD.
SO AS ORLANDO WAS UP THERE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROPERTY, THAT'S MOST, UH, THAT'S IMMEDIATELY ON FESTIVAL WAY, STARTING FROM ADDISON ROAD, ALL OF THAT IS PHASE ONE, INCLUDING THE HUB THAT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.
AND THEN THAT PHASE ONE WILL BLEED OVER INTO THE PROPERTY, OFF TO THE EAST OF, UH, CORUM DRIVE.
THAT'S ALL PHASE ONE, PHASE TWO WILL BE THE AREA THAT IS RIGHT WHERE HE'S POINTING.
THAT'S CURRENTLY THE, THE DARK, UH, THE ANT IS IN TRANSIT CENTER THAT, THAT DARK OPERATES THERE.
[00:30:01]
AND THEN PHASE THREE.AND THE LAST PART WOULD BE THAT BOAT BOUTIQUE HOTEL, WHICH IS CURRENTLY THE VOCATION THAT IS OWNED BY DARK AND HAS A BRICK BUILDING ON THERE THAT IS LEAST TO BOWEL ENCLOSURES, THAT SPACE THROUGH LET'S TALK, I CAN'T READ THAT FROM HERE, BUT DOES THAT INDICATE THAT WHICH PHASE EACH ONE'S IN WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT? SO ANOTHER WORDS AMBER IS GOING TO START A CONCENTRATION POST BUILDING, BOTH WE'LL HAVE FOUND MANY FIELDS STARTING STORY AND ALL OF THE
SO THEY BASICALLY, THEY STARTED BOTH, SOME BUILDINGS DO FACEBOOK.
SO THE OTHER IS A STREAM REALTY BUILDING THE PARKING GARAGE.
IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, 625 PARKING PLUS OFFICE BUILDING, AND THE HUB THAT'S PHASE THREE IS DARK STATION ARTS BEING SECOND PHASE OF ALL DISABILITY.
AND THE THIRD PHASE IS, IS, UH, COVERAGE, UH, ALL VOLUNTEERS OR PROPERTY TEMPORARY LIVED THERE, THAT BUILDING, YOU KNOW, AND OVER THAT CORNER WITH HOTEL, NO, IT IS LABELED EACH OF THE PHASES ARE LABELED ON THE SCRAPPY.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? I DON'T MIND MY COMMENT IS I REALLY, I REALLY APPRECIATE, I'VE ALREADY SAID BEFORE, WHAT WE GET IN PHASE ONE IS THE ONLY THING WE CAN GET GUARANTEED ON THESE THINGS.
AND I'M SUPER APPRECIATIVE THAT WE'RE GETTING THAT ENTIRE ROAD.
I WANT THE FESTIVAL AWAY, ESPECIALLY DONE ALL AT ONE TIME.
SO NOT A BIG HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT THAT MIKE SAT THERE.
THE OTHER THING I THINK IS IMPORTANT IS THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT, IF IT GOES TO WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING, IT GETS DONE PRETTY FAST.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GET TIRED OF CONSTRUCTION LINGERING ON.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT THE TIMELINE IS THE OTHER THING.
SO, SO THAT'S THE REASON THIS SQUAD HIGH, BECAUSE YOU DON'T, SO LET'S SAY FIVE YEARS MAXIMUM TO COMPLETE ON THE THREE PHASES.
DO YOU WANT TO SAY, WELL, MARY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALL SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THIS, UM, UH, EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO SUBCOMMITTEE COLLEAGUES, COUNCIL, COLLEAGUES, AND STAFF AND CONSULTANTS.
WHO'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS.
IT'S BEEN REALLY QUITE A FASCINATING AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A GENERATIONAL DECISION.
AND I THINK THAT, UH, UH, I'M GOING TO BE PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS.
AND, UM, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO SERVE US WELL IN THE FUTURE AND BE THE, EXACTLY THE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE ALL ENVISIONED IN SOME, UH, HAZY SORT OF WAY WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS PROCESS, YOU KNOW, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON REFINING AND DEFINING EXACTLY WHAT, YOU KNOW, THAT HIGH LEVEL, UM, VISION LOOK LIKE.
AND, UH, I THINK WE'VE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB AND, UH, I'M VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AND LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.
UH, THE L ONE, ONE THING, UH, THAT JUST CAUGHT MY ATTENTION, UH, WITH REGARD TO THE HUB.
AND THIS IS JUST MORE, MAYBE A CALL-OUT IS, UH, WE LEARNED THAT SOME OF THE DESIGN OF THE HUB INCLUDES SHAMING, UH, WHICH WE SEE IN THE VIDEO AND THE DRAWINGS.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IF ANYTHING WERE TO CHANGE IN THE FUTURE RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF, I WOULD HOPE THAT THAT WOULD REMAIN, UH, AN ENJOYABLE PART OF THAT, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE IT GETS SO HOT IN THE SUMMER AND IN ORDER TO REALLY DRAW PEOPLE AND MAKE IT MORE MAGNETIC, WE NEED TO BE SURE TO RETAIN THAT THE SHADING, AND THERE ARE SOME OTHER FEATURES THAT WE'LL DISCUSS WITH THE SHADING IN PARTICULAR, I'D HATE TO SEE THAT GET, YOU KNOW, HOW SOMETIMES THINGS GET LOGGED ON.
SO IT'S JUST CALL IT, I THINK, WITHIN THE HEIGHT OF A CERTAIN STORY ON SITE,
[00:35:01]
I MEAN, THAT HELPS QUITE A BIT THERE WITH A SIX STORY OFFICE ON THE LEFT SIDE.SO BASICALLY THE HUB IN BETWEEN THE SHOW TO HELP.
AND I THINK THAT I'M LEARNING TO BE, UH, UH, THERE MIGHT BE OTHER FEATURES TOO, AS IT PERTAINS TO WATER AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT YEAH, I MEAN, MRES, SIR, VERY GOOD.
CAN YOU SPEAK TO AGAIN, TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S GOING IN PLACE OR POTENTIALLY IN PLACE WITH HOBBIES THERE'S SOME INCENTIVES OR WHAT WAS IT ACTUALLY A BULLET POINT THAT YOU HAD IN THERE? THE INFRASTRUCTURE COULD CONNECT YOU WITH THE HUB, RIGHT.
WELL, IF WHATEVER IS, IS DETERMINED TO BE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT'S REQUIRED TO MAKE THAT A REALITY.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO, UH, W WHAT $5 MILLION TO MAKE THAT REALITY.
UH, SOME OF THAT'S GONNA WE'RE, WE'LL LEARN SOME OF THAT THROUGH THE, UH, THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, UM, BECAUSE FRANKLY WE WERE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT EXACTLY THAT ALL ENTAILS, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S PART OF THE DUE DILIGENCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING.
AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, FROM A LAND ENTITLEMENT STANDPOINT, WE'LL ALSO LEARN WHAT KIND OF, UH, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE IS REQUIRED TO DO THAT.
SO THAT WILL COME IN AS PART OF THE PROCESS OF APPROVING ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS, ET CETERA, THOSE THINGS WILL COME TO THE COUNCIL AS WELL AS PLANNING AND ZONING TO BE ABLE TO, TO VANTAGE WELL, SO THAT WILL BE PART OF THE PROCESS AS WE GO FORWARD.
THAT'S A LARGE SPACE THERE THAT WE WANT TO ADD.
DID YOU CUE THE ALBUM, JUST A WEST? CAN YOU GIVE US SOME EXAMPLES? I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO PREDICT THE FUTURE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A GLASS WALL THAT CAN YOU JUST PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES OF NEW INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, ITEMS THAT, UM, THAT HAVE IN THE PAST MAYBE COME UP OR COULD COME.
IT'S PROBABLY MORE ABOVE GROUND.
UH, SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE'S WATER FEATURE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT MEANS SOMETHING'S CONTEMPLATED.
IF THERE ARE AN UNDERGROUND THINGS THAT WE CAN TAKE CARE OF FROM A DRAINAGE STANDPOINT, FOR EXAMPLE, WE GET KIND OF THAT WAY.
BUT THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS WE'VE ALREADY DONE A LOT OF STUDIES OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE TO SEE WHAT THE CAPACITY IS CURRENTLY.
SO WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENT, THE INTENSITY OF THIS DEVELOPMENT WE'LL BE ABLE TO, HOW IT WILL IMPACT OUR CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UH, WE KNOW WHAT, WHAT, WHERE WE, WHERE THERE ARE GAPS, WHERE, WHERE WE HAVE PLENTY OF CAPACITY.
SO, UM, BUT, BUT THAT'S THE, WE, WE PUT THIS IN PLACE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT, THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, WE CAN DO.
UM, I WOULD, YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK, WE'VE COME A LONG WAY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, GIVE THANKS TO THE, UH, SUBCOMMITTEE MADE OF, UH, MADE UP OF
EVERYBODY THAT'S WORKED SO HARD, UM, TO COMPLETE THIS.
AND THEN, UH, UH, ALSO OUR, OUR PREDECESSORS THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING A LONG, LONG TIME TO GET US THIS COUNCIL TO THIS POINT.
AND, UM, I'VE DONE A LOT OF GREAT WORK AND A LOT OF THINGS, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TALKING ABOUT THAT MORE, UM, BUT A LOT OF, A LOT OF THINGS TO GO AROUND TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, ANY MORE QUESTION MAY, DO YOU WANT TO HAVE ANYBODY FROM THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM SPEAK IN ANY WAY OR SURE.
YOU KNOW, TERRIBLE ONES HERE WITH THE AMYLOID.
YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS FIRST? DO I HAVE A MIC? YEAH.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY, THANK YOU.
WELL, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY AND IN MARLIN YOU'RE RIDING WITH THIS REALLY DOES TAKE A MOMENT FOR US TO REALLY, UM, REFLECT BACK ON THE PAST 30 YEARS OF WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
UH, AS WE MENTIONED IN SEVERAL OF OUR PRESENTATIONS, UH, UH, MYSELF AND JOE AND THE AMWAY TEAM ACTUALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO WORK ON THE ORIGINAL ADDISON CIRCLE WHEN IT WAS BUILT.
I, WHEN I THINK OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH RON CARMEN AND THE ORIGINAL STAMP, THIS WAS A VISIONARY DEVELOPMENT.
THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS TRULY SPECIAL FOR DALLAS TAXES, AND TO SEE HOW IT'S EVOLVED OVER TIME, HOW WE GOT TO PLAY A SMALL PART OF IT.
I HAVE MADE ANOTHER AMPUTEE DEVELOPMENT, UH, CLOSE BY, BUT HOW TO HAVE THIS SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY TO WORK
[00:40:01]
WITH SCREAM AND TO BE ABLE TO PUT THIS PLAN TOGETHER.I MEAN, THIS WAS OVER A YEAR, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN A LOT OF THESE RFP PROCESSES WITH, UM, MUNICIPALITIES.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S EVER TAKEN THIS MUCH TIME BECAUSE IT WAS THOUGHTFUL BECAUSE IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM BECAUSE WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE STEPS.
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME AND EFFORT EVERYBODY HAD PUT INTO THIS THAT SAID WE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO, AND WE KNOW IT, AND WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT IT.
AND WESSON STAFF ARE VERY, VERY GOOD NEGOTIATORS ON BEHALF OF THE TOWN.
AND I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE AND WE, AGAIN, VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY.
ANYBODY FOLLOWS THROUGH UH, SO I'M BRAD DORNOCH CHEMISTRY, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH EMILY ON THE OFFICE COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT DOWN FOR
IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.
SOMETHING THAT WE THINK WILL, UH, DO VERY WELL AND ADDISON, AND WE'RE REALLY THANKFUL THEY ARE PROVIDING THE CONFIDENCE IN US TO DELIVER THIS PROJECT.
I DO HAVE ONE LAST THING TO SAY NOW'S AN APPROPRIATE TIME.
SO IT'S KIND OF WHAT WHAT'S BEEN SAID TODAY IS A BIG FIRST STEP TOWARDS MAKING THE VISION FOR THIS AREA OF REALITY.
THERE IS STILL MUCH WORK TO DO TO FINALIZE ALL THE AGREEMENTS, UH, THAT THIS PROJECT WILL, WILL REQUIRE AS WELL AS THE PLANNING AND ZONING ACTIVITIES THAT ARE NECESSARY TO ENABLE THIS PROJECT TO COME TO FRUITION.
THERE ARE BOUND TO BE HIGHS AND LOWS AS WE WORK TO BRING THIS SIGNIFICANT PROJECT OUT OF THE GROUND.
BUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD, THERE WILL BE, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THAT ARE, AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD, EXCUSE ME, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE FORWARD AGAINST THIS PROJECT BECAUSE WHEN CONSTRUCTION STARTS, IT WILL BE DISRUPTIVE.
I'M SAYING THAT NOW, BECAUSE JUST LIKE I HAVE WITH OTHER MAJOR PROJECTS, I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW, UH, THAT WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND THEN WE NEED A MANAGING PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS IN THAT REGARD.
WHAT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER IS THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THE REALIZATION OF THE EFFORTS OF MANY PEOPLE OVER MANY YEARS.
THIS INCLUDES MANY CITY COUNCILS LED BY MANY MAYORS, INCLUDING MAYORS, REDDING, SPRUILL, BECKER, WHEELER, MEYER, AND CHOW, AND MANY MEMBERS OF THE TOWN STAFF, INCLUDING FORMER DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, CARMEN MORAN, AND FORMER CITY MANAGER, RON WHITEHEAD, JUST TO NAME TWO, THIS IS AN EXCITING MOMENT IN MADISON SYSTEM, AND WE ARE PROUD ON, OR ADDISON'S PAST AS WE PREPARE TO CREATE SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR ADDISON'S FUTURE.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING THIS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING IS KIND OF A POLITICAL, ESPECIALLY THE SILVER LINE, AND IT IS BEING HELD FOR YEARS, YEARS, FINALLY, AGAIN, ALL THE APPROVAL ON DOCK BOARD MEMBERS.
SO I WANT THE SENSE OF WHAT THE DARK DARK WATER MEMBER IN THE DOCK STAFF AS WELL WITH ALL THE HELP THERE'S A WOULDN'T HAVE.
SO, UM, THAT'S A GREAT DAY FOR ADDISON, BUT ALSO REMEMBER THIS AGAIN BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION WITH THE DEAN.
SO IN THE FUTURE, WE STILL NEED TO WORK VERY CLOSELY.
YOU HAVE TO GET THIS DONE IN A VERY SPEED IN WAY, YOU KNOW, JUST TO REMEMBER THAT.
SO WHEN I HAPPY AND I TELL HIM, YOU GRADUATES WAS EMILY, AND IT'S TRUE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY THROUGH WORK TOGETHER.
SO THE FUTURE BOSS STATION IS THE BLUE.
CAN I SAY ONE QUICK? I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON, I WANT TO VOTE ON ONE, ONE THING, AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS THAT THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, IN THE COMMUNITY, THERE, THERE, YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT WHAT SHOULD GO, WHERE, AND, AND, AND WHAT WE LIKE, AND THIS, WE SHOULD HAVE THIS AND THAT.
AND A LOT OF TIMES THERE'S CHATTER THAT GOES ON IN THE COMMUNITY AFTER DECISIONS ARE MADE ABOUT DEVELOPMENTS, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S EXTENDED.
JUST WANT TO POINT OUT ONE THING THAT IS AN ADDITION TO, TO BUILDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE GIANTS THAT COME BEFORE US, THE COUNCILS, THE MAYORS,
[00:45:01]
THAT LAST MENTIONED ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES.THE ONE, THE ONE KEY THING I THINK THAT DIFFERENTIATES OUT OF SUN IS THE STRATEGIC POLICY, UM, DIRECTION AND PATHWAY THAT'S BEEN PUT FORTH AND WE ARE GUIDED BY POLICY.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE ALISON CIRCLE, SPECIAL AREAS STUDY AS AN EXAMPLE.
UM, IT'S, IT'S, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR RESIDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF DON'T JUST, UM, WILLY NILLY, GET AN IDEA ABOUT WHAT MAYOR CHOW MIGHT LIKE OR WHAT MAYOR WILLISON MAY OR MAY NOT LIKE.
AND WE DO GET OUT, THERE'S ACTUALLY POLICY DIRECTION THAT SERVES AS GUARD RAILS THAT ALL OF US CAN THEN LOOK TO LATER AND SAY, THAT'S WHY THESE DECISIONS ARE MADE.
AND THAT'S ONE THING THAT I'VE LEARNED YOU IN BEING ON COUNCIL BEFORE I WAS ON COUNCIL.
SOMETIMES YOU WOULD SEE THINGS AND SAY, WHY DID, WHY DID THIS GO HERE? WHY WAS THIS DONE? AND THERE'S A REASON FOR IT.
SO I ENCOURAGE, UM, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO LOOK TO THE, TO THE DIFFERENT POLICIES THAT SERVE AS OUR GUARD RAILS AND UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, IT'S KIND OF A SAFETY NET, AND THERE'S A REASON BEHIND THE DECISIONS THAT WENT INTO THIS VERY EXCITING.
SO YOU WANT TO THANK ALL THE MEMBERS WHO SERVE ON THE AIR HAS CIRCLED SPIRIT.
SO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT SERVED ON THE ADDISON CIRCLE, SPECIAL STUDY AREA COMMITTEE, UM, THESE ARE THE KINDS OF IMPORTANT DECISIONS AND GUARD RAILS THAT LEAD TO POLICY THAT LITERALLY GROWS INTO INFRASTRUCTURE THAT LASTS FOR, FOR DECADES AND GENERATIONS.
IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO BE A PART OF LIKE PAUL MENTIONED.
SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF STAFF AND EVERYONE THAT'S SITTING BEHIND ME AND THE GROUPS THAT ALL OF THESE GUYS LEAD THAT ARE, THAT ARE DOING THIS.
YOU GUYS HAVE ALL DONE ALL OF THE HARD WORK AND, AND, UM, IT'S VERY EXCITING.
UM, ALL RIGHT, SO WE'VE CONCLUDED THIS
[1. Present and Discuss the Council Calendar for May 2022. ]
SESSION, RIGHT? SO ITEM NUMBER ONE, PRESENT, DISCUSS THE COUNCIL CALENDAR FOR MAY 20 MAYOR COUNCIL, JUST REAL QUICK.UM, AS YOU'RE, AS A REMINDER, THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, YOU WERE INFORMED THAT THERE WERE SOME, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE MAY 24TH, UH, REGULARLY SCHEDULED CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
SO WE WERE TASKED WITH TRYING TO FIND SOME DATES, UH, FOR AN ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATE, SOME ALTERNATIVE DATES TO, TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, UH, MEETING IN MAY.
AND UNFORTUNATELY EVERYBODY'S VERY BUSY IN ME.
UH, SO WHAT WE ARE W WHERE WE HAVE LANDED IS THAT WE WILL HAVE, WE ARE PLANNING TO HAVE OUR, UM, MAIN CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MAY MONDAY, MAY THE 16TH.
AND THAT IS, UH, THE, THE ONLY CAVEAT WITH THAT DATE IS THAT IF WE HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THE CANVAS, THE ELECTION RESULTS FROM DALLAS COUNTY, BY THAT TIME, THEN WE WILL NEED TO CANCEL THAT MEETING ON THE 16TH AND HAVE A COUNCIL MEETING ON TUESDAY, THE 24TH OF MAY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WILL BE SHORT TO COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THAT, BUT WE WILL STILL HAVE A QUORUM OF THE COUNCIL THAT'S REQUIRED TO BE ABLE TO DO BUSINESS.
SO THAT'S THE WAY WE'RE PROCEEDING, UH, MAY, UH, MONDAY, MAY THE 16TH IS OUR FIRST CHOICE.
UM, WE WILL HAVE A, UH, ASSUMING THAT THERE ARE NO GREAT CONTROVERSIES WITH THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.
WE WILL PLAN ON HAVING A NEW COUNCIL ORIENTATION ON FRIDAY, MAY THE 13TH, SO THAT THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN BE PREPARED FOR THEIR FIRST COUNCIL MEETING.
AND WE'LL PROCEED IN THAT MANNER.
SO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WE HAVEN'T ANSWERED, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S THE RESULT OF OUR HOMEWORK FROM LAST MAY 16.
AND, AND TO HAVE A RANDOM, THAT'S CORRECT.
IF IT DOESN'T WORK, THEN WE WILL DO THAT ON 24, PUT YOU OUT.
SO IN THAT CASE, IF THAT'S THE SCENARIO, UH, GQ HIM, YOU'RE GOING TO PRESENT THE MEETING.

UH, I DO HAVE SOME GENERAL ONE SPEED.DO I HAVE
I LIVE IN DALLAS, UH, A LITTLE BIT AVE.
[01:00:08]
OKAY.UM, I'M THE OWNER OF PROCURE SERVICES, LLC.
I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK THAT YOU CHANGE THE EVALUATION PROCESS IN THE PROCUREMENT SOURCING OF CONTRACT AWARDS.
I RECENTLY PARTICIPATED IN BEING PROCESSED, SOUTHERN WRITTEN TRAIL DRAINAGE, EDITING IMPROVEMENT, SOLICITATION, UM, BILE OBJECTIVES, UM, ALL THE OBJECTIVE MEASURES, UH, WHICH THERE ARE THREE OUT OF THE FOUR PATIENTS THAT I'VE SEEN USES.
UM, MY BID WAS A HEAD ON ALL THREE, UH, AND WHICH MEANS THAT AS A COMPETITIVE BETTER MINE WOULD HAVE, AND THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THAT TIME CONSIDERED, UH, THE MOST COMPETITIVE AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN AWARDED THE CONTRACT, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.
UH, THE FOURTH CRITERIA, WHICH IS NOT AN OBJECTIVE CRITERIA, UH, WHICH IS WHY I'M HERE TODAY, IS THAT, UH, REFERRING TO EXPERIENCE.
UH, I SUBMITTED MY RESUME, UH, THE RESUME OF MY SUBCONTRACTORS AND TWO EVALUATIONS FROM THE CITY OF DALLAS PARKING PART, A FOR PROJECTS, THERE ARE LARGER AND MORE COMPLEX.
UM, THEN THE RADISSON TRAIL PROJECT, UM, BOTH EVALUATIONS SHOWING DETAILS OF MY PERFORMANCE WITH THE CITY OF DELOSE ON ACTUAL PROJECTS COMPLETED AND WHICH RECEIVED FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, ON THE FAVORABLE, UH, RICK, UH, RATINGS WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR FIRE, FOR FUTURE CONTRACTS.
UH, MY S MIDDLE SHOULD'VE BEEN OVERWHELMING TO WHAT WAS NECESSARY, VELVETY RED IN TROLL PROJECT, UH, AND SHOWING THAT I HAVE THE SKILL SET AND THE TEAM TO PERFORM THE CONTRACT, UH, IN THE DEBRIEF OF THE SOLICITATION, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT IT WAS NOT MY EXPERIENCE.
THAT WAS THE ISSUE, RATHER IT WAS THE SURVIVOR'S EXPERIENCE TO UNDERSTAND MY EXPERIENCES.
UH, I UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THE EVALUATIONS AND REFERENCES.
FOR EXAMPLE, I CAN SAY THAT I PLANTED HUNDREDS OF TREES, EXCAVATED THOUSANDS OF TONS, AND YET, UM, IT COULD BE, OF COURSE, IF YOU DID IT, THAT WAS NOT A QUESTION ASKED.
SO, AND IF IT'S NOT IN POINTS OR THE DOCTOR, AND IT LEAVES, UM, EXPERIENCE AS BEING AN AREA OF WHICH A COMPETITIVE IT CAN BE, UM, NULLIFY OR MEAN TO BE LESS THAN WHAT IT WAS.
UH, THIS TELLS ME THAT, UH, THE EVALUATOR DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS OR, UM, DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS BEING DEMONSTRATED AS MY EXPERIENCING MARTHA ADJUSTMENT IS SIMPLY THIS TO BE TRANSPARENT, TO ASK RELEVANT QUESTIONS, LEADING TO CONTRACT AWARDS FROM THE BIDDERS, THIS WOULDN'T BE MADE THE PROCESS COMPETITIVE, THIS, THIS, UM, THE WAY IT'S BEING DONE TODAY WITH HOLDING QUESTIONS TO BE ASSUMED, LABOR LEAVES, LOOPHOLES TO BASICALLY SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT UNDER THE PRETENSE OF COMPETITION.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO NULLIFY, UH, OR INFORMATION THAT YOU DON'T KNOW OR HAVE NOT ASKED FOR, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING, AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
AND BY SAYING, I DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMEONE'S EXPERIENCE.
AND THEY'RE USING THIS CRITERIA AS A TOOL TO DEDUCT POINTS FROM THE COMPETITOR AND ENABLES THE EVALUATOR TO THE RIGHT CONTRACT AWARDS, WHICH IS NOT A FAIR PRACTICE.
AND IN THIS PARTICULAR LIST, AND THIS, MY COMPETITOR DID NOT ME, BUT USING THIS AS A TOOL, THIS PROJECT WAS GIVEN TO THEM.
IT'S NOT A FAIR AND MORE TRANSPARENT, AND I URGE YOU TO MAKE THE CHANGE TO YOUR PROCESS AND THEN MAKING THE CHANGE TO HOW YOU EVALUATE EXPERIENCES.

SO I HAVE A MOTION MADE BY MARK SECOND
[01:05:01]
BY PAUL.[8. Hold a Public Hearing, Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on an Ordinance Rezoning a 3.2-Acre Property Located at the Southeast Corner of Addison Road and Airport Parkway, from Commercial-2 (C-2) to Planned Development (PD) District with modified Urban Center (UC) District standards, to allow a Multifamily Development Comprised of a Maximum of 287 Dwelling Units and Live/Work Units, and Approximately 5,000 Square Feet of Future Retail Space, and to Approve Related Development Plans. Case 1843-Z/JPI Addison Heights. ]
ALRIGHT.ITEM EIGHT, THE POVERTY HEARING PRESENTED THIS, DOES IT.
I FEEL THAT WHEN I CAME IN, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
SO WHAT ITEM NUMBER WAS THIS? UH, NO, IT'S STILL NOT, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT BEEN HERE.
IS IT A PUBLIC COMMENT OR IS IT ON A SPECIFIC ITEM? PUBLIC.
UH, GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I'M HERE TONIGHT REPRESENTING MYSELF.
MY NAME IS MARTIN PEREZ AND I LIVE IN TOM LAKE AND I COVERED THE BASIS.
SO LET ME START AGAIN AND SAY, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.
AND THANK YOU COUNCILMAN FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY POINT OF VIEW AND, UH, THE ITEM IN REFERENCE TO CASE 1 8 43 Z SLASH JPL.
I'M HERE NOT ONLY REPRESENTING MYSELF, BUT I'M HERE ALSO REPRESENTING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE AVENTURA CONDOMINIUM HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, 86 UNIT OWNERS, LIKE TO START WITH A COUPLE OF FACTS, AND THEN I'LL GO TO THE, I GUESS MY FINAL COMMENT OR QUESTION, UH, IT IS, UH, CURRENTLY BEING CONSIDERED BY THE COUNCILS, THIS PROJECT BY JPL OF DEVELOPING A, I GUESS THE BEST WORD FOR IT IS MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENT COMPLEX.
A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO, I PARTICIPATED WITH, UH, THE, UH, COMMITTEE THAT WAS STUDYING, UH, SAM'S CLUB IN TERMS OF THE EVALUATION OF IT.
AND ONE OF THE REPORTS, WHICH WAS PREPARED BY KIMBERLY HORN, WHO IS A STRATEGIC COMMITTEE SOLUTIONS COMPANY.
THEY INCLUDED INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE COMPARISON BETWEEN ADDISON AND THE METRO BUCKS, IN TERMS OF MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENT COMPLEX, THE CITY OR TOWN OF ADDISON, 80% OF THE ENTIRE HOUSEHOLDS OR HOMES DOCKS ARE MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENTS.
NOW, HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO THE METROPLEX? THE METROPLEX HAS ONLY 30% OF ALL, ALL OF THEIR HOMES STOPPED OUR MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENT COMPLEX.
THE OTHER INTERESTING THING IS THAT AS A MEMBER OF THE CITIZENS ACADEMY, ONE OF THE STOPS THAT WE MADE WAS WITH THE ABS AND POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY SHARED STATISTICS WITH US.
ONE OF THE STATISTICS THAT THEY SHARED WITH US IS THE NUMBER OF TOTAL CALLS, THE CALLS THAT GOES TO THEIR CALL CENTER, OKAY.
IN TERMS OF INCIDENTS CRIMES, AND SO ON OUT OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CALLS, 30% ARE RELATED TO RESIDENTS OUT OF THOSE 30% OF THAT 30% 80 OF THEM COME FROM MULTI FAMILY,
[01:10:01]
APARTMENT COMPANIES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE SATURATED WITH THIS TYPE OF THE BONE AND EVERY MEETING THAT I HAVE ATTENDED ALSO, AND PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT I PARTICIPATED AT THE ATHLETIC CENTER, THE COMMONS THAT YOU HEAR FROM THE RESIDENTS OF ADDISON IS THAT WE NEED TO PURSUE HE SIMPLE HOMES, RIGHT? AND THE FORM OF MEDIUMS IN THE FORM OF TOWNHOMES, MULTIPLEX, ET CETERA, ONE DIRECT CORRELATION, WHICH I JUST MENTIONED IN TERMS OF INCIDENTS GENERATED BY OUR APARTMENT COMPLEXES IS AFFECTING OUR COMMUNITY.OUR COMMUNITY IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
I KNOW THE FACT THAT ALL OF US IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IT SAFE.
HOWEVER, IF YOU LOOK AT THE REPORT SUBMITTED BY THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR HOME SAFETY AND SECURITY, THEY RANK THE CITIES OF THE STATE OF TEXAS IN TERMS OF A LOWER NUMBER OF THE SAFER THE CITY, THE HIGHER NUMBER, THE LESS SAFE IT IS.
WE COME AT 146 AND WE BARELY HAVE A POPULATION OF OVER 16 RICHARDSON COMES AT 78.
FRISCO COMES AT 49 MCKINNEY THAT WAS THERE FOR THE COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING US ARE SAFER THAN WE ARE.
I BELIEVE IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY THAT DISC DEVELOPMENT, YOU CONSIDER THE AREA OF ADDISON CIRCLE AS ALREADY OVER A THOUSAND UNITS AND MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENTS.
SO, UM, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AND BEHALF ON MY BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MYSELF, WE OBJECT TO THIS PROJECT.
ANYONE ELSE OF THE CAR ON THE SPEED? IF I CONTINUE? THANKS.
YOU REGULAR ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING, PRESENT DISCUSSING THE DIRECTION
YOU'LL SEE DISTRICT STANDARDS TO ALLOW MULTIFAMILY INVOLVEMENT COMPRISED OFF A MAXIMUM OF 287, WANTING TO GO THERE AND LIVE WORTH OF UNITS, APPROXIMATELY 5,000 SQUARE FEET OF FUTURE RETAIL SPACE AND TO APPROVE RELATED DEVELOPMENT PLANS, CASE NUMBER 1 8 4, 3 Z JPI EDISON HEIGHTS.
YES, KEN GOOD EVENING, MARRIED TO THE COUNCIL OF 10 SCHMIDT DIRECTOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR THE TOWN MEDICINE.
UH, THE 3.2 ACRE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ADDISON ROAD, NEAR PORT PARKWAY.
UM, THAT IS THE LONG-TERM HOME OF THE HOPE FAMILY BUSINESS.
UH, THAT'S A HOWK REALTY, SO THAT'S A REAL ESTATE AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT BUSINESS.
SO SOME OF THE USES THAT YOU HAVE SEEN ON THAT SITE FOR A LONG TIME INCLUDE, UH, OUTSIDE STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT AND THEN VEHICLES AND FLEET, UH, RELATED TO THAT BUSINESS.
AND THEN ALSO ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT THAT PROPERTY IS AT THE NORTHERN, UH, SEGMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
THEY MAINTAINED AN AG EXEMPTION AND HAD, UH, VARIOUS FORMS OF LIVESTOCK THERE OVER THE YEARS AND A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL TREE COVER, UH, FROM A TREE NURSERY OPERATION THAT OCCURRED THERE AS WELL.
UH, IN 1992, UH, THAT PROPERTY WAS REZONED FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, UH, TO THE COMMERCIAL TO DISTRICT, WHICH IS THE ZONING THAT'S APPLIED TODAY.
AND TONIGHT WE ARE HERE TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM JPI
[01:15:01]
MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPER, UH, BASED IN IRVING THAT FOCUS AS MUCH OF ITS DEVELOPMENT IN TEXAS, UH, BUT ALSO, UH, DOES PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE NATION.UH, THEY'RE MAKING A REQUEST ON BEHALF OF THE WHOLE FAMILY, UH, TO REZONE THE SITE TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, UH, WITH MODIFIED URBAN CENTER STANDARDS TO FACILITATE A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT, A NOT TO EXCEED 287 UNITS, AND THEN ALSO TO HAVE A RETAIL READY COMPONENT TO, UH, ACCOMMODATE POSSIBLY UP TO, UH, 5,600 SQUARE FEET OF, UH, FUTURE RETAIL SPACE IN THE FUTURE AS THE MARKET EVOLVES.
SO WITH THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN, YOU HAVE A PROPOSED FIVE STORY BUILDING ON WHAT WOULD BE A 2.93 ACRE PROPERTY, UH, AFTER WHERE I DEPLOYED, UH, WOULD BE DEDICATED.
SO WITH THAT, UH, IF THIS WERE TO BE APPROVED IN THE FUTURE DURING A PLANNING PROCESS RIGHT AWAY WOULD BE DEDICATED FOR BOTH AIRPORT PARKWAY AND ADDISON ROAD.
UH, THE, UH, UNITS COMPRISE A MAXIMUM OF 287 MULTIFAMILY UNITS, SEVEN OF THOSE AT LEAST SEVEN OF THOSE WOULD BE LIVE WORKING UNITS.
UM, AND THEN, UH, THE RETAIL READY COMPONENT AND WOULD BE A SPACE RESERVED AT THE GROUND FLOOR.
UH, IT WOULD HAVE, UH, PROGRAMMING THAT WOULD BE, UH, UH, NOT COMPRISED OF RETAIL INITIALLY.
UH, AND IF THAT MARKET OR RETAIL OR RESTAURANT OR SERVICE USE, UH, EVER DEVELOPED THE APPLICANT, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO COME BACK TO THE TOWN AND SEEK A NEW ZONING ENTITLEMENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND EXECUTE THAT, UH, RETAIL DEVELOPMENT SIMPLY BY FILING BUILDING PERMITS, UH, WITH THIS, UH, PROPOSED SITE DESIGN, UH, THERE IS A PRIVATE OPEN SPACE, UH, AT THE NORTHERN FACADE ALONG THE PARKWAY, UH, JUST OVER 4,000 SQUARE FEET.
AND THEN IT ALSO PROVIDES AN INTERIOR COURTYARD AMENITY, UH, JUST UNDER 9,000 SQUARE FEET.
UH, ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE FEATURES ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL IS WHAT YOU'LL SEE AT THE, UH, FOURTH AND FIFTH FLOOR OF THE ADDISON ROAD FRONTAGE.
UH, SO, UH, AT THOSE FLOORS YOU HAVE LIVE WORK UNITS THAT ARE PROPOSED.
SO THOSE ARE MULTI-LEVEL UNITS.
UH, THE FOURTH FLOOR, YOU WOULD HAVE THE LIVE SPACE, THE RESIDENTIAL UNIT, AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE INTERIOR STAIRS LEADING TO THE FIFTH FLOOR OF THOSE UNITS, UH, WHICH WOULD BE THE WORKSPACE, WHICH WOULD BE AN OFFICE.
YOU WOULD ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO THE OFFICE SPACE FROM THE FIFTH FLOOR, UH, HALLWAY.
UM, SO, UH, IF YOU WERE DOING BUSINESS, UH, IN THAT UNIT, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO NECESSARILY HAVE YOUR BUSINESS CLIENT ENTERED THROUGH THE RESIDENCE.
THEY COULD ENTER THROUGH, UH, THE OFFICE SPACE.
UM, ANOTHER UNIQUE FEATURE THAT LIVE WORK UNIT IS, UH, A CREATES A STEP BACK, UH, IN THE ADDISON ROAD, ASSAD ON THE FIFTH FLOOR, ALLOWING FOR A, UH, TERRORIST OR MEZZANINE SPACE.
SO THAT PROVIDES OUTDOOR AMENITIES, UH, FOR EACH OF THOSE LIVE WORK UNITS AT THE CORNER OF THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE BUILDING.
UH, THERE IS A, UM, BUILDING AMENITY, UH, THAT ALSO PROVIDES THAT OUTDOOR SPACE THROUGH A CO-WORKING SPACE WHERE BUILDING OCCUPANTS CAN GO AND WORK DURING THE DAY AND ENJOY THE VIEWS OF ADDISON AIRPORT, UH, PARKING, UH, IN THIS SITE PLAN, YOU CAN SEE IT IS ON THE, UH, EASTERN SEGMENT OF THE BUILDING, THE BUILDING FULLY WRAPS, UH, THAT PARKING STRUCTURE AND ACCESS IS PROVIDED, UH, BOTH FROM AIRPORT PARKWAY AND A PRIVATE ACCESS DRIVE, UH, LEADING, UH, FROM ADDISON ROAD, UM, FOR JUST OVER 400 PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT QUITE A BIT ON WAS ACHIEVING, UH, BOTH EMERGENCY ACCESS AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS, UH, TO ADDISON CIRCLE.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE SOUTH EASTERN QUADRANT OF THIS PLAN, UM, THERE'S ACTUALLY A FIRE LANE, UH, IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH OF THIS PROPERTY, BUT IT DOES NOT TOUCH THIS COMMON PROPERTY BOUNDARY RUNS BASICALLY FROM HERE, UH, NEARLY DECORUM TO THE EAST, BUT THERE'S NOT CURRENTLY ACCESS TO SERVE ANY OF THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH.
SO BY ACHIEVING THIS CONNECTION, THIS IS NOT ONLY PROVIDING BETTER EMERGENCY ACCESS TO THIS SITE, BUT ALSO BETTER EMERGENCY ACCESS TO ADDISON CIRCLE, WHICH IS, UH, A CERTAINLY A GOOD BENEFIT GIVEN, UH, THE EVENT WE HAD AT ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THERE, UH, LAST YEAR, ALSO AN IMPORTANT PART OF THAT CONNECTIVITY IS PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY.
UH, PEOPLE CAN WALK, UH, ADDISON ROAD AND AIRPORT PARKWAY CURRENTLY THAT THE SIDEWALK INFRASTRUCTURE IS A LITTLE LIMITED THERE.
SO ONE THING WE WANTED TO PROVIDE IS PEDESTRIAN
[01:20:01]
ACCESS THROUGH THE, OUR LANES THAT WIND THROUGH THERE.SO IF SOMEONE WANTS TO GET TO THE, UH, VARIOUS PUBLIC OPEN SPACES AND ADDISON CIRCLE, AND YOU HAVE A SAFE ROUTE, UH, THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY AND NOT PENDING, UH, FUTURE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, ADDISON ROAD OR AIRPORT PARKWAY.
UH, THE PARKING, AS I NOTED, UH, FULLY COMPLIES WITH TOWN REQUIREMENTS, UH, NOT ONLY FOR THE, UH, INITIAL PROPOSED CONDITION OF RETAIL READY, BUT ALSO IF THAT FEATURE RETAIL SPACE, UH, WAS ACCOMMODATED IN THE FUTURE.
UM, SO WITH 419, UH, PARKING SPACES PROVIDED IN THE GARAGE AND SEVEN ADDITIONAL ON-STREET PARKING SPACES THAT EXCEEDS THE, UH, 352 SPACES REQUIRED FOR THE RESIDENTIAL ONLY CONDITION 371 SPACES FOR THE, UH, RETAIL READY CONDITION.
UM, WITH THIS REQUEST, UH, DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE SITE, IT'S A SMALL SITE AND ALSO ITS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO MANY AMPLE OPEN SPACES AND ADDISON CIRCLE.
UH, NO PUBLIC OPEN SPACE IS PROPOSED TO BE DEDICATED.
HOWEVER, THEY ARE PROPOSING THAT PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE, PRIVATE OPEN SPACE, UH, AT THE AIRPORT PARKWAY FRONTAGE.
AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO IMPLEMENTING SEVERAL KEY ELEMENTS OF THE TOWN'S TRAIL MASTER PLAN THROUGH ENHANCED SIDEWALKS AT THE ADDISON ROAD, FRONTAGE 10 FEET THROUGHOUT, AND THEN ALSO AT THE AIRPORT PARKWAY FRONTAGE, WHICH IS MOSTLY 10 FEET, BUT IT DOES NECK DOWN TO SIX FEET AT ONE LOCATION.
UH, THE STREETSCAPE, UH, CERTAINLY IS REFLECTIVE OF THE QUALITY URBAN STREETSCAPES WE HAVE IN PLACES LIKE ADDISON CIRCLE, UH, VITRUVIAN EARLY SH UH, STREET TREES, PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES, UH, AND, UH, DECORATIVE PAVING USED, UH, THROUGHOUT THE STREETSCAPE, WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN THESE RENDER RATES.
UH, THE PROPOSED BUILDING ONCE AGAIN IS FIVE STORIES.
UH, 73 FEET TALL, UH, USES, UM, REALLY, UH, FREED, DOMINANT, UH, FACADE MATERIALS, UH, BRICK GLAZING AND FIBER CEMENT PANELS.
UH, IT DOES HAVE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL FACADE SETBACKS, UH, MOST NOTABLY AT THE NORTHERN FRONTAGE, UH, WHERE YOU HAVE THAT OPEN SPACE.
AND THEN ALSO, UH, AT THE, UH, SOUTHWESTERN, UH, QUADRANT OF THE BUILDING.
UH, YOU ALSO DO HAVE A FIFTH FLOOR STEP NEXT, ALONG THE ADDISON ROAD FRONTAGE.
UM, THE, UH, ONE OF THE OTHER PROMINENT COMPONENTS OF THE FACADE DESIGN AND SOMETHING THAT WE WORK WITH THE APPLICANT QUITE A BIT ON IS ENSURING THAT THAT GROUND FLOOR AND PARTICULARLY IN THE INTERSECTION OF EDISON ROAD AND AIRPORT PARKWAY HAS A REALLY PROMINENT ENTRYWAY FEATURE.
UM, BUT ALSO HAS A, A, UH, VERY MUCH MIXED USE COMMERCIAL CHARACTER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THERE'S RETAIL IN THAT SPACE NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
UH, SO THAT STOREFRONT THAT YOU SEE ALONG ADDISON ROAD, WHICH WILL BEGIN AS A, UM, FITNESS AMENITY REALLY PROVIDES A PROMINENT ENTRY AND, AND REALLY, UH, UH, CREATES A NEW GATEWAY IF YOU WILL, UH, TO ADDISON CIRCLE, UH, THE UNIT MAKES PROPOSED, UH, SO IN THE LAWYER TO, UH, UH, RECENT MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL PROJECTS THAT YOU'VE REVIEWED, UH, CERTAINLY, UM, UH, SKEWED TOWARDS ONE BEDROOM AND EFFICIENCY UNITS WITH THE ONE BEDROOM UNITS, UH, BEING MOST PROMINENT, UH, COMPRISING 191 OF THE 287, UH, UNITS THAT ARE PROPOSED.
AND THEN SECOND, MOST PROMINENT WOULD BE TWO BEDROOM UNITS WITH 65 UNITS.
UM, THE AVERAGE UNIT SIZE IS 843 SQUARE FEET.
UH, THEY WILL BE REQUESTING SOME RELIEF ON THE SIDES OF ONE BEDROOM UNITS THAT WE'LL DISCUSS IN A MOMENT AND THEN CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU'VE SEEN IN OTHER RECENT PROJECTS AS WELL.
WE ASKED THEM TO ADDRESS, UH, UH, ELEVATED SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS AND THEN ALSO SOME KEY, UH, INTERIOR FEATURES, UH, WITH THIS PROJECT.
UH, THEY PROPOSE TO, UH, COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS.
SO WHEN THEY ADDRESS THE COUNCIL AND THEN, UH, TYPICAL, UH, UH, REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'VE INCLUDED INCLUDE, UH, STONE COUNTER TOPS AND NOT USING A MATERIALS SUCH AS LINOLEUM OR FORMICA.
AND THEN OF COURSE HAVING ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES, WHICH IS PRETTY STANDARD NOW WITH PROJECTS OF THIS SCALE, UM, ALSO CONSISTENT WITH, UH, PROJECTS YOU'VE REVIEWED RECENTLY.
UM, WE FEEL THAT IT'S IMPORTANT AS AN URBAN PROJECT, THAT IT INTEGRATES PUBLIC ART, UH, INTO ITS, UH, STREETSCAPE.
UH, SO THEY HAVE AGREED TO COLLABORATE WITH THE ADDISON HARBOR FOUNDATION TO INTEGRATE PUBLIC ART, UH, INTO A PROMINENT PUBLIC AREA OF THIS PROJECT.
[01:25:01]
A REQUEST TO ZONE, UH, THE REALLY THE FIRST THING WE DO AS STAFF IS WE EVALUATE THAT REQUEST AGAINST TALENT POLICIES.AND REALLY WE HAVE, UM, UH, SEVERAL KEY LAND USE POLICIES AND MOST NOTABLY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, THE ADDISON CIRCLE, SPECIAL AREA STUDY, WHICH WE COVERED EARLIER IN THE MEETING, OUR HOUSING POLICY, AND THEN ALSO, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE AND AMENITY POLICIES, POLICIES SUCH AS THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND THE PARK AND TRAIL MASTER PLANS.
SO REALLY I WANT TO START WITH THE ADDISON CIRCLE, SPECIAL AREAS STUDY.
SO, UM, THERE'S REALLY TWO COMPONENTS OF THAT ONE SUB AREA, UH, WAS ON THE PROJECT THAT WE DISCUSSED EARLIER TONIGHT, THE TOD, AND THEN THERE'S A SECOND SUB AREA THAT FOCUSED ON THE VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND, UM, THAT IS BEGINS WITH THIS PROPERTY AS ITS NORTHERN LIMIT, AND THEN EXTEND SOUTH OF OUR PROPERTIES TO SOME VACANT PROPERTIES THAT THE TALENT THAT IS CALLED THE, UH, ADDISON CIRCLE WEST SUB AREA.
UM, SO WITH THAT STUDY AND ULTIMATELY THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, UH, THE, THE TOWN DEVELOPED, UH, SOME POLICY FRAMEWORK AND THEN ALSO CREATED SOME ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPTS TO CONSIDER, BUT NOT NECESSARILY DICTATE WHAT HAPPENS HERE.
SO THE POLICY FRAMEWORK, WHICH IS KEY TO THIS CONSIDERATION, UH, IDENTIFIES, UH, THAT RESIDENTIAL USES ALONG ADDISON ROAD SHOULD BE MORE URBAN IN SCALE AND DESIGN.
UM, SO LESS LIKE A TOWN HOME, MORE LIKE A, UH, URBAN RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY BUILDING, WHETHER THAT'S CONDO OR RENTAL, UH, AND THEN ENSURING THAT IT MAINTAINS THE CHARACTER AND LEVEL OF AMENITIES THAT YOU SEE IN THE ADDISON CIRCLE.
UM, IT ALSO SPOKE TO THIS BEING A MORE PROMINENT INTERSECTION, SPECIFICALLY THE ADDISON ROAD, UH, AIRPORT PARKWAY INTERSECTION.
AND, UM, IF THE MARKET WOULD SUPPORT IT NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, ENSURING THAT WE HAVE FLEXIBILITY WITH WHATEVER IS BUILT HERE TO ALLOW FOR THAT CONVERSION TO SUPPORT NON-RESIDENTIAL USES BEING INTEGRATED WITH THE RESIDENTIAL USE.
UM, SO WITH WHAT'S PROPOSED TONIGHT, UH, WE DO BELIEVE THAT THE, UH, THIS URBAN SCALE OF MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING WITH RETAIL READY SPACE DOES COMPLY WITH THE VISION OF THE ADDISON CIRCLE WEST SUB AREA.
UH, THE NEXT POLICY I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS IS THE ADDISON HOUSING POLICY.
UM, SO, UH, THIS ACKNOWLEDGED, UM, UH, THIS WAS A POLICY DEVELOPED IN 2017 AND IT REALLY SPOKE TO SOME OF THE THEMES THAT MR. PEREZ BROUGHT UP IN HIS, UH, PUBLIC COMMENTS.
UM, AND IT SPEAKS TO SPECIFICALLY TO THE RATIO OF, UH, FEE SIMPLE, UH, TO RENTAL HOUSING.
SO CURRENTLY NOT CONSIDERING THE PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN TOWN.
UM, WE ARE AT, UH, ABOUT 78%, UH, RENTAL, UH, MULTIFAMILY TO BE SIMPLE.
AND THAT INCLUDES SINGLE FAMILY AND CONDOS.
SO THAT IS A COMPONENT OF WHY THIS POLICY EXISTS, THE OTHER, UH, CONSIDERATIONS AND WHERE THAT POLICY KIND OF STARTS TO BALANCE THINGS OUT AND NOT JUST FOCUSING ON NUMBERS IS, UM, IT SPEAKS TO, UH, THINGS SUCH AS SPECIAL AREAS STUDIES AND USING COMMITTEES TO EVALUATE THE BEST MIX OF USES IN A PARTICULAR AREA.
IT SPEAKS TO, UM, ESTABLISHING RENTAL HOUSING AND SPECIFICALLY MIXED USE RENTAL HOUSING IN AREAS THAT ALREADY HAVE URBAN CHARACTER.
SO IN AREAS LIKE ADDISON CIRCLE, AND THEN IT ALSO SPEAKS TO, UH, THE CONSIDERATION OF EXCEPTIONAL PROJECTS THAT MAY NOT NECESSARILY IT THIS PERFECTLY, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS, UM, UH, A CONSIDERATION THE TALENT SHOULD PROCEED BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT PROJECT.
SO WHILE THIS PROJECT DOES NOT NECESSARILY FIT THIS TO THE T BECAUSE OF THAT FIRST LINE ITEM, UH, THE MIX OF RENTAL TO FEE SYMBOL, UH, WE DO FEEL SPECIFICALLY, UH, DUE TO THE, THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ADDISON CIRCLE, SPECIAL AREA STUDY, AND THEN ALSO TO THIS BEING AN URBAN PROJECT ADJACENT, AND ON THE EDGE OF AN URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD, IT DOES FIT THIS POLICY.
UH, WHEN WE CONSIDER, UM, UH, ZONING REQUESTS, UH, BEYOND LOOKING AT POLICIES, WE ALSO LOOK AT HOW THE APPLICANT AND THE APPLICATION IS MITIGATING THE IMPACTS OF THE DEVELOPMENTS, UH, THINGS WE VERY FREQUENTLY FOCUS ON IS RESIDENTIAL COMPATIBILITY.
THIS ONE'S A LITTLE UNIQUE IN THAT IT HAS RESIDENTIAL COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTHER PROPERTIES, BUT ALSO FOR ITSELF BECAUSE ITS ADJACENCY TO AN AIRPORT,
[01:30:01]
UH, WITH THE AIRPORT, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER NOT ONLY HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, BUT ALSO, UM, THE NOISE GENERATED BY THE AIRPORT AND WHETHER THE LAND USE IS APPROPRIATE BASED ON ITS RELATIONSHIP AND LOCATION OF THE AIRPORT.UH, IN THIS CASE, UM, THE, UH, PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT IS WELL WITHIN THE PERMITTED BUILDING HEIGHTS, UH, THAT, UH, WOULD BE ALLOWED, UH, IN THIS LOCATION ADJACENT TO THE AIRPORT.
AND IT'S ALSO, UM, YOU CAN SEE IN THE GRAPHIC ON THE LOWER PORTION OF THE SLIDE IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE NOISE CONTOURS, THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN YOU CONSIDER, UM, NOISE SENSITIVE LAND USES.
SO IF THIS SITE WERE IN THAT BLUE AREA OR THAT YELLOW OR RED AREA, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PERMIT THIS LAND USE BECAUSE IT'S OUTSIDE OF IT.
IT IS APPROPRIATE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE IT'S, UH, LOCATION, ADJACENT THE AIRPORT, UM, WITH RESIDENTIAL COMPATIBILITY, THIS IS A DENSE, URBAN MIXED USE AREA.
THERE IS MANY MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL UNITS, BUT THERE'S ALSO CONDOS THAT ARE SINGLE FAMILY.
UM, WITH REGARDS TO SINGLE FAMILY NEAR A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD IS IN ADDISON CIRCLE AND IT'S 800 FEET FROM THE SITE.
AND IT'S ALSO SURROUNDED BY MULTI-FAMILY.
SO CERTAINLY COMPATIBLE WITH, WITH THE HOUSING IN THIS AREA, UH, FOR TRAFFIC, ANOTHER COMMON CONSIDERATION WITH REZONING, PARTICULARLY DENSER, UH, PROJECTS, SUCH AS THIS, UM, STAFF DID REQUIRE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS TO BE PERFORMED THE APPLICANTS, UH, DEVELOP THAT ANALYSIS.
AND, UH, THIS TOWN'S CONSULTANT TRAFFIC ENGINEER, UH, REVIEWED THE RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, TO THIS SIDE'S BENEFIT.
IT IS IN ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY CONNECTED AREAS IN ADDISON, UH, THE ADDISON CIRCLE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE SURROUNDING AREA FORMS A GREAT GRID THAT GIVES TRAFFIC MANY OPTIONS TO GET SOUTH TO BELTLINE EAST, TO, UH, DALLAS, NORTH TOLLWAY AND NORTH, UH, UH, TO NORTH SIDE MEDICINE.
SO THAT BENEFITS THIS PROJECT.
ALSO THE SITE DESIGN THAT'S PROPOSED WITH THIS PROJECT OF BENEFITS AS WELL IN THAT THE WAY THE PARKING STRUCTURE IS ORIENTED, UH, IT GUIDES THE MAJORITY OF THE TRAFFIC GENERATED BY THIS PROJECT TO AIRPORT PARKWAY, AIRPORT PARKWAY, GOING WEST AS A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION ON ADDISON ROAD AND GOING EAST, UH, YOU HAVE A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION WITH CORA, UH, AIRPORT PARKWAY IS, AND HAS THE CAPACITY TO HANDLE THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT.
ONE ITEM THAT WAS REFLECTED IN THE TIA AND A RECOMMENDATION OF OUR STAFF WAS THAT AT PEAK HOURS, AND REALLY THIS APPLIES TO ANY HOUR OF THE RESTRICTION WE'RE APPLYING OR TRAFFIC LEAVING THE SITES AT THE SOUTHERN ENTRYWAY ON THE ADDISON ROAD, UH, WE'VE REQUESTED THE APPLICANT TO PLAY SIGNAGE AND STRIPING TO RESTRICT LEFT TURN MOVEMENTS OUT OF THE SITE ON THE ADDISON ROAD AND TO INSTEAD LIMIT THAT TO RIGHT TURN MOVEMENT.
ONLY ALL OTHER IMPACTS, UH, ARE ADDRESSED APPROPRIATELY.
UH, THE, UH, SURROUNDING THOROUGHFARE NETWORK HAS CAPACITY AND THE LEVEL OF SERVICE PROVIDED CURRENTLY AT THE SURROUNDING INTERSECTIONS, UH, IS NOT ERODED BY THIS PROJECT.
ALSO WITH REGARDS TO DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS, WE NEED TO CONSIDER, UH, ISSUES SUCH AS TREE MITIGATION AND THEN ALSO THE EXTENSION OR THE PROVISION OF PUBLIC SERVICES.
UH, AS WE KNOW WITH THIS SITE, IT'S ONE OF THE FEW RURAL SITES IN TOWN AND IT HAS A LOT OF TREE COVER, UM, WITH THE PROPOSED BUILDING FORM AND REALLY THE ENVISIONED BUILDING FORM ON THIS PROPERTY.
IT IS UNAVOIDABLE TO REMOVE TREES.
SO WITH THAT, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REMOVE THE MAJORITY OF THE EXISTING TREE COLOR, WHAT THEY CAN MITIGATE ONSITE THROUGH NEW PLANTINGS, THEY'RE ACHIEVING THAT AND WHERE THEY ARE PLANNING CHAIN TREES, THEY'RE PLANNING EIGHT INCH CALIPER SHADE TREES, WHERE THEY CAN'T MITIGATE ON SITE.
THEY ARE OFFERING TO PROVIDE CASH MONEY IN LIEU OF MITIGATE ONSITE PLANTINGS THAT IS ALLOWED PER THE TOWN'S ORDINANCES.
AND THAT WOULD AMOUNT TO AT A PRICE OF $170, $75 PER CALPER RANCH, UH, JUST OVER $150,000 IN TREE MITIGATION FEES DUE TO THE TOWN FOR THIS PROJECT, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT, UH, OUR ENGINEERING STAFF, AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT'S ENGINEER ALSO ACCOUNTED FOR UTILITY SERVICES NEEDED, UH, FOR THE SITE AND ALSO, UH, DRAINAGE PLANS AS WELL.
THEY ARE PROPOSING AN UNDERGROUND,
[01:35:01]
UH, DETENTION POND, UH, WITHIN, UH, UNDERNEATH THE PARKING STRUCTURE, ANTERIOR TO THE SITE.SO, UM, WITH THE URBAN CENTER DISTRICT, UH, THERE IS A PROCESS THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS FORM OF DEVELOPMENT, UM, GIVEN ITS COMPACT NATURE AND ITS, UH, SCALE AND DENSITY THAT IT ACHIEVES, UH, IT IS FREQUENTLY A NEED AND FREQUENTLY APPROPRIATE TO CONSIDER, UH, FLEXIBILITY.
AND, UH, AND THE TERM THAT'S USED AS WAIVERS FROM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT WERE, UH, CONSIDERED WHEN THE ADDISON CIRCLE DISTRICT WAS ESTABLISHED.
UM, SO WITH THIS, THAT IS NO DIFFERENT.
AND WHAT I WOULD SAY IS WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS REALLY MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN WHAT YOU'VE SEEN IN SAY, OTHER PROJECTS IN ADDISON CIRCLE.
UH, SOME OF THAT REFLECTS THE NATURE OF THIS SITE.
THIS IS A, A MORE COMPACT INFILL SITE, UH, AND THEN ALSO THAT REFLECTS CHANGE IN DEVELOPMENT TRENDS AS WELL SINCE THIS CODE WAS ADOPTED, MANY OF THESE, UH, WAIVERS ARE, UH, COMPLETELY APPROPRIATE, UH, FOR THE SITE AND REALLY ARE PROBABLY THE ONLY SOLUTION TO ACHIEVE OTHERS.
UH, CERTAINLY, UH, UH, REQUIRED CONSIDERATION, BUT STAFF DOES FEEL THEY ARE APPROPRIATE.
UH, THE FIRST ONE RELATES TO LANDSCAPE AREA AND LANDSCAPE PUFFERS.
UM, SO WITH THE TOWNS CODE AND THE URBAN CENTER DISTRICT, AND REALLY MOST OF THE ONLY DISTRICTS, UH, IT REFERENCES BACK TO THE TOWNS BASED LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE AND THAT LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE DERELICT FOR MOST DEVELOPMENT, OTHER THAN INDUSTRIAL SAYS THAT 20% OPEN SPACE OR 20% LANDSCAPE AREA IS REQUIRED WITH DEVELOPMENT.
IT ALSO SAYS THAT AROUND THE PERIMETER, THE STREET FRONTAGE OF DEVELOPMENT, A 20 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER IS REQUIRED.
THAT'S INCLUSIVE OF THE SIDEWALK AREA FOR ADDISON CIRCLE.
WHAT I'VE SEEN IN RESEARCHING PAST PROJECTS TO INCLUDE THE AMALIE PROJECT THAT WAS APPROVED IN RECENT YEARS IS THAT, UH, THAT HAS NOT TYPICALLY BEEN APPLIED OR CONSIDERED.
AND I THINK IT SPEAKS TO THE LOT COVERAGE THAT IS PERMITTED IN THE URBAN CENTER DISTRICT IN THAT YOU ARE PERMITTED BY RIGHT TO HAVE 85% LOT COVERAGE.
SO THAT'S PERMITTED, BUT YOU'RE ACQUIRING 20% LANDSCAPE AREA THAT IS NOT REALLY COMPATIBLE.
SO I THINK OVER TIME, STAFF HAS MADE THE JUDGMENT THAT, UH, THE URBAN CENTER DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS PREVAIL AND THUS THAT 20% LANDSCAPE AREA, UH, DOES NOT NECESSARILY APPLY IN ADDISON CIRCLE OR WHERE THIS SPECIFIC ZONING THAT'S APPLIED.
AND THE SAME THING WITH, TO THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS GENERALLY WHAT'S BEEN APPLIED HAS BEEN THE STREETSCAPE DESIGN THAT YOU SEE IN THE UC DISTRICT OR IN OUR MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
SO WHAT'S PROVIDED HERE AT JUST UNDER A 17% LANDSCAPE AREA, INCLUSIVE OF THE TRAILS IS APPROPRIATE AND COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER PROJECTS THAT HAVE RECENTLY BEEN APPROVED OR PAST PROJECTS IN ADDISON, SIR.
AND THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS THAT ARE PROVIDED ALONG THE STREETSCAPE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TOWN'S MASTER PLANS AND THE UC DISTRICT OR THOSE STREETSCAPES, UH, THE NEXT DEVELOPMENT WAIVER REQUESTS.
IT HAS TWO COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE TREES.
THE FIRST ONE, UH, IS, UH, RELATES TO THE STREET TREES ON ADDISON ROAD.
UH, SO THERE IS, UH, OVERHEAD ELECTRIC UTILITIES ALONG ADDISON ROAD, AND GENERALLY AS A BEST PRACTICE TO AVOID HAVING TO CUT A NOTCH IN TREES AS THEY MATURE, UH, UH, IN, UH, FUTURE DECADES, UH, WE'VE ALLOWED FOR CANOPY TREES TO BE REPLACED WITH ORNAMENTAL TREE PLANTINGS.
AND SO THAT IS WHAT IS PROPOSED HERE.
AND THAT'S, WHAT'S SUPPORTED BY STAFFING MORE PARTICULARLY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT ALSO, UM, WITH THIS REQUEST AT THE NORTHERN FRONT EDGE AIRPORT PARKWAY, UH, THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING CHAIN TREES, BUT INSTEAD OF THE 30 FEET SPACING THAT YOU SEE TYPICALLY AN ADDISON CIRCLE AND IN SOME CASES, EVEN LESS THAN THAT, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED 50 FOOT SPACING FOR THOSE SHADE TREES.
UH, AND ONCE AGAIN, STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THAT, NOT BECAUSE WE WANT FEWER TREES, BUT THE SPACING, WHEN IT GETS THAT TIGHT, IT HAS A ONE, IT CREATES MAINTENANCE CHANNEL IMAGES, AND TWO, IT HAS, UM, UH, AN IMPACT ON PEDESTRIAN AND LIGHTING.
IT MAKES THE AREA VERY DARK FOR PEDESTRIANS AND THE 50 FEET SPACING IS REALLY MORE OF A BEST PRACTICE THAT WE'D LIKE TO USE MOVING FORWARD,
[01:40:01]
UH, FOR PROJECTS LIKE THIS.SO STAFF DOES SUPPORT BOTH OF THESE REQUESTS.
THE NEXT REQUEST RELATES TO, UM, A BUILD TO LINE OR, OR MORE TYPICALLY KNOWN AS A, A BUILDING SETBACK.
UM, SO IN THE UC DISTRICT, UH, GENERALLY IT CALLS FOR A 10 FOOT BUILDING SETBACK, UH, FOR LOCAL STREETS.
SO SMALLER STREETS, INTERNAL STATUS AND CIRCLE.
IT ALLOWS A LITTLE LESS, BUT ALONG THOROUGHFARES LIKE AIRPORT PARKWAY AND ADDISON ROAD OR ORAM AND SPECTRUM, UH, GENERALLY CALLS FOR A 10 FOOT SETBACK, UH, WITH THIS, UH, PROPOSED SITE DESIGN, UH, THEY PROVIDE A VARIABLE WITH SETBACK.
UH, THERE ARE SOME AREAS WHERE THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT SETBACK, UH, PRIMARILY AT THEIR PROPOSED OPEN SPACE, BUT THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WHERE IT GETS DOWN TO AS LITTLE AS A ZERO FOOT SETBACK OR A TWO AND A HALF AT SETBACK.
OVERALL, IF YOU LOOK AT BAREA IN RED ON THIS SLIDE, THEY'RE PROVIDING MORE BUILDING SETBACK WITH WHAT'S PROPOSED THAN WHAT THEY WOULD BE PROVIDING.
AND WHEN I SAY THAT IN AREA, SO IN TOTAL AREA, THEN WHAT WOULD BE PROVIDED IF THEY SIMPLY MET THEIR REQUIREMENT CONSISTENTLY? SO THEY ARE PROVIDING 7,500 SQUARE FEET IN BUILDING SETBACK AREA ALONG THOSE ROADWAYS.
AND IF I JUST APPLIED THE CODE, IT WOULD BE 6,500 SQUARE FEET.
THE OTHER UNIQUE THING HERE THAT KIND OF STEALS FROM THEIR BUILDING SETBACK A LITTLE BIT IS THEY ARE PROVIDING TO COMPLY WITH THE TOWNS TRAIL, MASTER PLAN, A WIDER SIDEWALK OR TRAIL AT THE ADDISON ROAD FRONTAGE.
SO TYPICALLY YOU HAVE EIGHT FOOT SIDEWALKS IN ADDISON CIRCLE.
THIS PROPOSAL HAS A 10 FOOT SIDEWALK, UH, AROUND MOST OF THE PERIMETER.
SO WITH THAT, AND GIVEN THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT THAT YOU SEE HERE FROM A PAST AFRO OR A FIVE MINUTE SETBACKS WERE VERY FREQUENTLY AND MOST COMMONLY USED AN ADDISON SERVICE.
SO IT'S REALLY EVEN WITH THESE REDUCTIONS, IT'S NOT FAR OFF, WHAT IS TYPICAL IN ADDISON CIRCLE OVER TIME.
IT ACTUALLY ONE RELATES TO OPEN SPACE DEDICATION.
UM, SO WITH THE ADDISON CIRCLE PROJECT, THERE WAS ACTUALLY A SIGNIFICANT EXCESS OF OPEN SPACE.
THAT'S NOT A BAD THING, BUT IT WAS, UH, THERE'S OPEN SPACE, WELL BEYOND WHAT WAS REQUIRED BY THE URBAN CENTER DISTRICT.
AND SO WITH PROPERTIES LIKE THIS, THE TOD TO A LESSER EXTENT, UH, IT'S NOT ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US TO GET VERY SMALL FRAGMENTS OF PUBLIC LAND.
AND INSTEAD IT'S BETTER TO GET, UH, OPEN SPACE SUCH AS THEIR PROPOSED PRIVATE OPEN SPACE THAT IS PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE, BUT THAT THEY'LL MAINTAIN IN ADDITION, THE TRAILS THAT THEY PROVIDE IMPLEMENT KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR PARK AND TRAIL MASTER PLANNING POLICIES.
UM, THIS TREATMENT THAT WE'RE APPLYING HERE, I'M NOT REQUIRING A DEDICATED OPEN SPACE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE AMALIE PROJECT AS WELL.
AND THE NEXT WAIVER RELATES TO THE, UH, DRIVEWAY SETBACK AT THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE.
UH, THE MINIMUM IS FIVE FEET, UH, AND THEY'RE PROVIDING A TWO FOOT SETBACK.
UH, THIS IS BENEFICIAL, UH, IN THAT IT GETS THE DRIVEWAY IN EVEN SLIGHTLY, UH, FURTHER AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION OF ADDISON ROAD AND AIRPORT PARKWAY.
AND IT ALSO MAXIMIZES THE SETBACK OF THE BUILDING AT THE NORTHERN FACADE AS WELL.
AND THAT YOU'RE NOT SPENDING SETBACK ON A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT MAY REDEVELOP IN THE FUTURE.
SO STAFF DOES SUPPORT THAT AS WELL.
UH, THE NEXT WAIVER REQUESTS ADDRESSES DWELLING UNIT AREA, AND THIS ONLY APPLIES TO ONE OF THE PROPOSED ONE BEDROOM UNITS.
UM, SO, UM, WITH THEIR ONE BEDROOM UNITS, YOU SEE DISTRICT REQUIRES A MINIMUM 700 SQUARE FOOT UNIT SIZE, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING A 650 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM.
UM, WITH 75 1 BEDROOM UNITS, UH, BEING 670 SQUARE FEET MET, UH, PROVIDED THAT THOSE UNITS ALSO HAVE A PRIVATE BALCONY.
UM, SO THE TOWN RECOGNIZE THIS CONDITION, UH, IN THE ZONING PREMATURE VIVIAN, THE MINIMUM ONE BEDROOM UNIT SIZE IN VITRUVIAN IS 600 SQUARE FEET.
UH, SO THIS IS REALLY, UH, SOMETHING THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MARKET FOR, AND WOULD BE APPROPRIATE CONSIDERING THAT WE HAVE DEEMED IT APPROPRIATE AND OTHER SIMILAR PROPERTIES.
HEY, KEN CASH, YOUR REAL REAL QUESTION ON THIS, ON THIS, UH, IS THE PATIO KIND AS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR HOW THEY'RE CALCULATING THIS? NO.
AND THEN THE NEXT WAIVER RELATES TO OUR REQUIREMENT TO STEP BACK THE BUILDING FOR
[01:45:01]
ANY BUILDING OVER 50 FEET TALL.SO BASICALLY WHAT THIS REQUIREMENT MEANS IS ANY PORTION OF THE BUILDING OVER 50 FEET TALL, UH, FOR EVERY TWO FEET ABOVE 50 FEET, THAT PORTION OF THE BUILDING HAS TO STEP BACK ONE FOOT.
UM, THAT IS, UM, WAS A COMMON, UH, URBAN DESIGN STANDARD AT ONE TIME.
UH, IT'S A VERY CHALLENGING STANDARD FOR CITIES TO IMPLEMENT IT.
AND OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEMONSTRATES THAT IN THAT THERE IS VERY LITTLE ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STANDARD THROUGHOUT ADDISON CIRCLE, AS WELL AS THE TRUE VIVIAN.
AND THIS REQUIREMENT WAS ACTUALLY ELIMINATED WITH VITRUVIAN.
BUT THE ONLY EXAMPLE I'M AWARE OF, OF THIS REQUIREMENT BEING APPLIED IS WITH FIORI.
AND THEN ALSO, UH, WITH ONE OF THE MIXED USE BUILDINGS, FRONTING BECKER PARK AND ADDISON CIRCLE.
UH, ALL OF OUR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS GENERALLY WAS NOT APPLIED.
UM, SO GIVEN THAT WE FEEL THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE TO NOT APPLY IT HERE, BUT WITH THAT SAID, THEY ARE PROVIDING A STEP-BACK THAT GENERALLY MEETS THIS REQUIREMENT ON ONE SIDE OF THEIR BUILDING.
SO THEY DO ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE THIS REQUIREMENT.
UH, THE LAST, UH, DEVELOPMENT WAIVER REQUEST, UH, RELATES TO THE PROPOSED MASONRY CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS, UH, FOR THE, THE BUILDING.
UM, SO THE URBAN CENTER DISTRICT FOR STREET FACING FACADES, UH, REQUIRES 90% MASONRY.
UM, SO WHEN WE CHALLENGED IT THAT WE CONSIDER MASONRY TO BE BRICK AND STONE, BUT ALSO THE GLAZING, THE WINDOWS.
UM, AND THEN, UH, FOR 19TH STREET FACING FACADES, UH, WOULD BE REDUCED DOWN TO 80% MASONRY.
AND I BELIEVE FOR THOSE NON STREET FACING FACADES, STUCCO IS ALSO ACCOMMODATED AS WELL.
UM, SO WITH THIS REQUEST, UM, YOU HAVE TO REALLY FREE STREET FACING FACADES NOW, OR FACADES THAT ARE VISIBLE FROM THE STREET.
UM, THE TWO PRIMARY ONES ARE THE WEST FACADE FACING ADDISON ROAD AND NORTH FACADE FACING AIRPORT PARKWAY.
BOTH OF THOSE ACHIEVE 75% GLAZING AND BRICK AND 25% FIBER CEMENT PANEL THERE.
YOU SEEING THE NORTH FACADE AS WELL, UH, FOR THE EAST FACADE, WHICH IS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE STREET OR FACING THE STREET, YOU HAVE 59% GLAZE AND EMERICK AMERICAN 41% FIBER CEMENT PANEL.
AND FOR THE SOUTH FACADE, YOU HAVE A SIMILAR PATTERN IN 50%, 58% PLACE IN BRICK AND 42% FIBER CEMENT PANEL.
ONE DAY THAT FACADE WILL NOT BE FACING THE STREET BECAUSE YELLOW OR VISIBLE FROM THE STREET, CAUSE YOU'LL HAVE A BUILDING ADJACENT TO IT, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S VISIBLE SO THAT THE HIGHER REQUIREMENT WOULD APPLY.
UH, WOULD THAT BEING SAID, THERE, THERE ARE SEVERAL BENEFITS TO THIS DESIGN ONE.
IT IT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE WITH THE GLAZING.
IT HAS MORE WINDOWS AND IT'S VERY OPEN, UM, UH, AS IT RELATES TO PROBABLY SIMILAR PROJECTS, UM, IT DOES UTILIZE THE VERY MATERIALS NICELY.
UM, IT DOES NOT UTILIZE THEM INAPPROPRIATELY IN THAT THE MASONRY IS REALLY THE FOUNDATION OF THE BUILDING.
YOU'RE PROVIDING THE STRONGER MATERIALS AS THE FOUNDATION.
AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT YOU SEE AS A PEDESTRIAN OR A DRIVER TRAVERSING THAT SITE.
AND THEN AS YOU GET UP AND AS YOU WANT TO REALLY SOFTEN THE BUILDING AND TRY TO REDUCE THE SCALE, THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE THE SOFTER FIBER CEMENT PANEL MATERIALS USED.
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU START TO SEE THE STEP BACK, UH, OF THE BUILDING, UH, REALLY, UH, GEARED TOWARDS REDUCING THAT SCALE.
UH, COULD THEY UTILIZE MORE MASONRY MATERIALS CERTAINLY, BUT IS THIS, UH, SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT OR NOT INCOMPLIANCE OR CONSISTENT WITH SAY A VITRUVIAN PROJECT? I CAN NOT SAY THAT THIS IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU SEE IN VITRUVIAN.
THE AMWAY PROJECT YOU RECENTLY APPROVED DOES HAVE A HIGHER MASONRY COUNT THAN THIS, BUT WHAT'S SHOWN HERE AT THE DESIGN IS APPROPRIATE.
IT'S NOT AN INAPPROPRIATE USE OF THAT FIBER CEMENT PANEL.
SO WITH THIS PROJECT, UM, TALENTED NOTIFY, ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH, UH, TOWNLAND STATE REQUIREMENTS, UH, WE SENT NOTICES TO 10 PROPERTY OWNERS.
WE RECEIVED ONE LETTER OF OPPOSITION WITHIN THE 200 FOOT NOTICE.
AND THEN THE PROPERTY OWNER, UH, SUBMITTED THE, UH, LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT, UM, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, UH, DID, UM, UH, REVIEW THIS CASE IN THEIR MARCH MEETING.
[01:50:01]
APPROVE THE REQUEST YOU NAME IT, THE SLATE STAFF ALSO DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.UH, THERE ARE SEVERAL CONDITIONS INCLUDED IN THE ORDINANCE, UH, THAT WE WOULD ASK YOU TO CONSIDER IF YOU DO APPROVE THIS REQUEST.
AND THAT'S FIRST, UH, THE, UM, REQUIRING THE EASEMENT FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY THAN THE SOUTHEAST, PRIOR TO OBTAINING A BUILDING PERMIT, THE PROVISION OF THE SUSTAINABILITY AND THE INTERIOR CONSTRUCTION FEATURES NOTED IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND THEN ALSO COLLABORATION WITH, UH, THE ADDISON ARBOR FOUNDATION TO IMPLEMENT A PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION ON THE PROPERTY.
AND SO THAT WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS THAT ARE REQUESTING THAT STAFF IS ALSO IN SUPPORT OF, UM, THE APPLICANT, UH, BRIAN GRANT AND TOM LAMBERT WITH JPI ARE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE.
THEY DO HAVE A PRESENTATION, UH, AS WELL.
UM, BUT, UH, THEY CAN ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE TONIGHT AS WELL.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE REAL QUICK ON, ON THE SIDEWALKS.
CAN I THINK YOU SAID ABOUT 10 FEET AROUND MOST OF THE PERIMETER, AND I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS ON ADDISON ROAD HERE, PORT PARKWAY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SIDEWALK WIDTHS ARE PLANNED FOR THAT? SO ON EDISON ROAD, THEY ACHIEVED A FULL 10 FEET, UH, THROUGHOUT THE FRONT IMAGE, UM, ON AIRPORT PARKWAY WHERE, UH, YOU HAVE THE ON-STREET PARKING, UH, IN NEXT DOWN A PORTION OF THAT TO 60.
AND THEN, UM, CAN YOU TURN TO SLIDE 11? AND I'M LOOKING AT THE NOISE CONTOURS OF THE BOTTOM GRAPHIC THERE.
DID YOU SAY THAT IF THIS PROPERTY WAS IN THE 65 DVA, THEN, THEN WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO RESIDENTIAL THAT'S HURT.
THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY COULD NOT HAVE, THAT WOULD BE IN THE 65 DBA CONTOUR WOULD NOT BE, UH, UH, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE RESIDENTIAL.
DO YOU DO IT THE RISK TO OUR FUNDING FOR THE AIRPORT, THAT PROFESSIONAL GOVERNMENT, ANY PORTION OF IT FROM A NO.
SO IT WOULD ONLY BE THE PORTION IF IT WAS IN THAT PROPERTY, WHICH IT'S NOT, BUT IF HYPOTHETICALLY, IT WAS ONLY THAT PORTION WOULD BE IMPACTED.
SO THEY COULD DO SAY OPEN SPACE IN THAT PORTION AND KEEP THE BUILDING OUT OF IT AND THEN, OKAY.
AND THEN YOU YOU'VE SHARED A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT ON THE SAME SLIDE.
IT'S HARD TO SEE BECAUSE IT'S SO SMALL, UM, UH, IN THIS VISUAL, BUT WE DO HAVE THE ADDISON FIRE DEPARTMENT ACROSS THE STREET, RIGHT? YES, SIR.
SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF, A LOT OF NOISE, RIGHT? OKAY.
ANY MORE QUESTION IF I OPEN UP THE PUPPY, QUICK QUESTION ON THE SEVEN LIVE WORK UNITS, WHAT DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS WORD FOOTAGES OF THOSE? I SEE THE AVERAGE UNIT SIZE, BUT ON THE SEVEN, I BELIEVE IT'S A 1,275 SQUARE FEET IS IT IS ON THE PLANES.
UH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
AND IF YOU MAKE A GOOD PRESENTATION, UM, YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS.
I LIVE AT 99 19
I'VE GOT SOME TEAM MEMBERS HERE WITH ME.
I'M GOING TO GET THE FIRST HALF OF THE PRESENTATION AND BRIAN GRANT, MY COLLEAGUE, JIM YASMIN, AND GET THE SECOND HALF OF THE PRESENTATION.
YOU'LL FIND BRIAN TO BE A LOT SMARTER WITH A LOT MORE ENERGY THAN I AM.
SO NATE NIGGER BAR SET VERY MUCH SO THAT WE HAVE A GOOD FULL APPAREL OR THE PROJECT ARCHITECTS HERE, BOTH THE BIG PROJECT ARCHITECT, BRIAN COOPER, AND THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, UH, BRIAN JOHNSON, BRIAN AND I WORKED CLOSELY, UH, IN THE DEVELOPMENT OR EVEN ONE OF THE LEAD DESIGNERS ON THE MORNING.
WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE A GREAT CHOICE FOR THIS PARTICULAR SITE.
WE'VE GOT JOSEPH FURNISHER WITH, UH, KEVIN HORN OR CIVIL ENGINEER, AND ALSO AS A RESIDENT.
AND THEN WE HAVE MATTHEW PRO THERE IN THE BACK.
WE ARE, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, UH, WORKING ON THIS SIDE.
[01:55:02]
A LONG TIME.IN FACT, THE SELLER KENT HOPE IS A GUY THAT I GREW UP WITH AND TALKED TO HIM OFF AND ON ABOUT THIS SIDE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, I WAS BUSY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN.
SO WE NEVER TOOK IT VERY FAR, BUT WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE REPRESENTING JPI IN THIS, IN THIS ENDEAVOR.
UH, KENNETH FLIPPED ME OVER ONE.
THIS, THIS SLIDE IS, UH, WE'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.
WE HAVE AN INTEGRATED, FULLY INTEGRATED TEAM OF DEVELOPMENT ACQUISITIONS.
UH, WE SERVE AS OUR OWN GENERAL CONTRACTOR, UH, ASSET MANAGEMENT, FINANCE, AND ACCOUNTING AND PROJECT.
THE ONLY THING WE DON'T DO IS OUR OWN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.
WE DO SELL OUT A PROPERTY CALLED ZTRS IN DIALYSIS.
VERY, VERY WELL KNOWN BRAND DOES A GREAT, GREAT JOB OVER THE HISTORY OF JPI.
WE'VE DEVELOPED ABOUT 350 PROJECTS OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND HOMES IN NEW MARKETS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, MADE EXPENSE ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH A MARKET VALUE OF PROBABLY ABOUT $15 BILLION THERE.
UH, WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE DFW AREA, 17, UH, COMMUNITIES UNDER VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS ABOUT 5,700 HOMES.
AND, UM, AND, UH, THIS HAS 17 DIFFERENT CITIES, BUT THAT COUNT SUBURBS IS, UH, IS INDIVIDUAL CITIES IN ABOUT EIGHT.
AND THEN, UH, OVER OUR HISTORY, WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN BASED IN DALLAS, ACTUALLY BASED IN LOS COLINAS.
AND WE'VE DEVELOPED 71 HOMES IN DFW WITH ABOUT 28,000 UNITS COMBINED.
THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF SOME PROPERTIES THAT WE HAVE BUILT.
WE'VE BUILT A LOT OF, UH, UH, RAMP DESIGNS AND WE BUILT A LOT OF, UH, LOWER DENSITY, UH, GARDEN DESIGNS.
SO THIS IS JUST A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SOME THINGS WE'VE DONE RECENTLY.
THESE ARE AN EXAMPLE OF OUR INTERIOR AMENITIES OR CLUBHOUSES.
WE WE'RE, WE'RE VERY BIG ON, UH, PLACE GATHERING AREAS AND IN REALLY MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT THOSE AREAS OUT HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF UNIT INTERIORS WITH GREAT KITCHENS TAPE, THE CEILINGS, CEILINGS, A LOT OF GLASS, UM, UH, UH, HIGH-END FLOORING CYCLE.
AND THEN THESE ARE JUST AN EXAMPLE, ART POOLS AND EXTERIOR AMENITIES, UH, AC FITNESS ON THE MODEL.
WE DO THE ONES THAT WE THINK PEOPLE WILL WANT TO COME TO OUR PURPOSE FOR VERSUS BEING A MEMBER OF THIS PERSON.
HERE'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF KIND OF SOME DIFFERENT GRAPHICS, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE FOR YOU TO READ, BUT THESE ARE PROPERTIES THAT WE HAVE BUILT SINCE 2012 IN DFW.
AND THE MIDDLE COLUMN SHOWS YOU THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF THE FIRST WRITERS THAT MOVED INTO THOSE APARTMENTS.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT IS, IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM IN AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF ABOUT $111,000 WITH AN AVERAGE AGE OF THOSE RESIDENTS AT ABOUT 34, I WOULD SHOW THIS, THIS SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT THE FUCK I'M TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH COMING IN AND RENTING THEIR FIRST APARTMENT IN DALLAS IS PRETTY HIGH.
AND THEN THE VERY BOTTOM SENTENCE, UH, IT'S THAT, THAT DEVELOPMENT EXPERT, BECAUSE A LITTLE MORE DRILLED DOWN, THESE THREE PROPERTIES ARE VERY CLOSE TO THIS SITE.
THESE ARE ALONG THE TOLL LINE BETWEEN ALICE SPRING VALLEY, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GALLERIA.
UM, AND SO, UH, THE FIRST ONE, JEFFERSON EAST BRANCH, 390 HOMES.
AGAIN, THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME WAS JUST OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND YOU CAN SEE, WE ADDED TWO COLUMNS TO THE RIGHT, WHICH IS NUMBER OF CHILDREN.
WE TYPICALLY BUILD HEAVY ONE BEDROOM MIXES.
SO WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CHILDREN THAT THEY COME IN, WE WELCOME THEM, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THEM.
UM, AND, UM, AND SO THAT WILL, THAT WILL JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU AN INDICATION OF THE TYPE OF DEMOGRAPHIC HERE'S THE LOCATION.
I THINK WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF SEEN THAT THERE'S A LOAD OF DRUG DOWNSIDE, UH, WHEN WE DID A COMPARISON TO THE ASAM CIRCLE, SPECIAL AREA STUDY AND KIND OF GLEANED, UH, PORTIONS OUT OF IT THAT WE THINK IS SPEAKS WELL TO OUR DEVELOPMENT.
THAT'S THE CIRCLE WAS, UH, SHOULD SHE CONTINUE TO LOOK AND FEEL THAT EXISTS WITH ESSENCE TODAY, ACCORDING TO HIGH QUALITY DESIGN AND ATTRACT, WE NEED TO CHECK THAT BOX
[02:00:01]
NEW DEVELOPMENTS ALONG WITH ITS ROADS PAST PUBLIC SPACES AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE SHOULD CONNECT SEAMLESSLY TO EXIST IN THE NATURAL CYCLE.THIS WAS A CHALLENGE AND BRIAN WILL SHOW YOU KIND OF HOW WE SOLVE THAT.
KEN MENTIONED IT AS WELL, BUT WE'LL GO THROUGH THAT.
UH, DEVELOPMENT IN THE SPECIAL AREA STUDY SHOULD DIVERSIFY ADDISON'S RESIDENTIAL AND EMPLOYMENT, UH, WHICH SHOULD GENERATE SUFFICIENT TAX REVENUES TO CONTRIBUTE RESOURCES TO THE TOWNS IN GERMANY.
UH, UH, RYAN'S GOT A SLIDE AND I'LL SHOW YOU A LITTLE LATER THAT SHOWS YOU THE IMPACT OF THE PROPERTY TAXES OVER REGENERATED, UH, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE WITHIN THE SPECIAL AREA STUDY.
SHE CAN TAKE THE TOWN OF MADISON'S TRADITION AND DESIGNING UNIQUE PARKS, PLAZAS, OPEN SPACES, ET CETERA.
WE'VE DONE THAT A VERY TIGHT SITE, BY THE WAY, AS AN ADDISON CIRCLE, PUBLIC ART SHOULD BE INCORPORATED AS A SPECIAL STUDY AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT.
I'VE WORKED WITH THE FOUNDATION BEFORE.
APPARENTLY TRYING TO ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO RESIDENTIAL USES AS LONG AS THE ROAD SHOULD BE MORE OF AN URBAN SCALE DESIGN COMPARED TO TOWNHOMES AS SOME CIRCLE ITSELF BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC ALONG ASH ROAD NOISE, ET CETERA.
AND THE PROXIMITY WE ARE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THAT IN URBAN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS INTENDED TO BE THE PRIMARY USE OF THE NORTHERN PARTS.
WE FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS THAT I ASSUME THIS WAS A GOOD SLIDE TO TALK ABOUT THAT WE, WE RECOGNIZE.
AND PARTICULARLY IN MY EXPERIENCE IN ADDISON, THAT RECOGNIZE THAT, THAT WE SIT LIKE BETWEEN TWO VERY SPECIAL ASSETS, UH, WHICH IS ASHTON SHARP EAST, WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HONOR BOTH.
WE DON'T, WE DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN AND TURN OUR BACK ON EITHER OF, SO WHAT WE, WHAT WE THINK WE HAVE DONE IS LEVERAGING THE FEES OF THE AIRPORT TO THE WEST WITH THOSE LOFT UNITS.
IT WASN'T ALL GOING TO GO UP ON THE FOURTH FLOOR, BUT ALSO THE 10 ACTIVITY BACK IN MADISON CHART CAN TELL YOU THAT WASN'T AN EASY TASK TO GET THE COOPERATION FROM, FROM AN ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER, UH, EASTERN SIDE.
AND SO, UH, SO THAT'S, THAT'S HELPED US.
IT'S QUITE A BIT SHORTER THAN THE VITRUVIAN VIDEO.
SO THIS IS OUR PROJECT ON MIMIC THAT, THAT IT'S A GOOD INDICATOR OF THE TIME AND THE TIME OF RESIDENCY, I WAS TARGETING A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY FROM HERE.
SO NOW I'M GOING TO ASK TOM, BEFORE YOU STEPPED IN, UM, I WAS INTRIGUED BY YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC SLIDE.
UM, IS THAT A FAIR UNDERSTANDING TO CHARACTERIZE YOUR CLIENT IS VENDORS BY CHOICE? YES, I THINK THAT'S FAIR.
I MEAN, WE STILL HAVE OUR HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF THEIR, VAL'S STILL ATTRIBUTED TO BUYING THE PEOPLE THAT STAY HERE LONG TERM ARE DEFINITELY FIVE TRIPS IF THEY GOT WHATEVER VIRGINIA $11,000 THEY'RE THEY'RE SO, SO,
[02:05:01]
SO IS IT ALSO FAIR TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE RENTS THAT YOU'RE ANTICIPATING CAPTURING FROM THIS PROPERTY TO REQUIRE THAT KIND OF LEVEL OF, OF SIMILAR, SIMILAR INCOME LEVELS AND TO, TO, TO GET WITH OUR FORWARD AND THAT'S YOUR, THAT SUIT, YOUR TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE ALL THAT NEEDS TO GET THE REDS THAT WE WILL NEED ON THIS PROJECT.WE'LL HAVE TO BE IN THAT CATEGORY.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I WAS INTERPRETING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
UH, WORKED VERY HARD ON THE MUSIC.
SO THANK YOU FOR, UH, BRIAN GRANT.
I'M NOT, NOT SMARTER, I'M AN AGGIE.
SO I THINK IT JUST DISQUALIFIES ME FROM BEING SMARTER THAN ANYBODY IN THE ROOM, BUT I'LL TRY TO TRY TO WALK THROUGH THESE QUICK LANDED A LOT.
IT'S GOING TO BE REPEAT INFORMATION FROM WHAT KEN SAID, AND THEN TOM JUST SAID, BUT DIVE IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON THE SITE PLAN ADDRESS, 600 EAST LAS VEGAS BOULEVARD ALREADY, TEXAS 7 5 0 3 9, UH, DIVING INTO THE SITE PLAN.
IT'S HARD TO MENTION 287 HOMES, UH, 75% OF ONE BEDROOMS. AGAIN, THAT'S A DIRECT REACTION TO, TO THE MARKET, TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE SAW IN THE VIDEO.
AND SOME THAT WERE MENTIONED, MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, UM, THE RENTS, UM, GOOD QUESTION ON THE RENT.
SO THE ONE BEDROOMS WE'LL, WE'LL START AT $1,500 A MONTH GO UP TO ABOUT $2,000 A MONTH.
AND IN THE TWO BEDROOMS, WE'LL START AT 2100 AND GO UP TO $2,700 A MONTH.
SO THE AVERAGE, UH, IF YOU TAKE THE AVERAGE ON TOTAL COMPLEX, IT'S JUST OVER $1,900 A MONTH RENT PER 850 SQUARE FOOT ISH APARTMENT.
IT'S, UH, UM, TO, TO PRESS CHARGE AS RENTS, YOU HAVE TO BUILD WHAT TOM WAS SHOWING THOSE, THOSE PREVIOUS PICTURES, 10 FOOT CEILINGS, STONE COUNTERTOPS, THINGS LIKE THAT, HOW MUCH WE ALSO COMMITTED TO AND IN THE PD LANGUAGE AS WELL.
UM, ANOTHER MANY WE HAVE, UH, LIKE, YOU KNOW, IS CALLED APARTMENT LIFE.
SO THIS IS A COUPLE THAT MOVES IN AND LIVE THERE, FREE OF CHARGE, UM, IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT THEY THEY'RE TASKED WITH, UH, COMMUNITY EVENTS AND BUILDING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AMONGST THE RESIDENTS AT, AND MY WIFE AND I, WHEN WE FIRST GOT MARRIED, WE LIVED IN AN APARTMENT LIKE THIS FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS.
DID NOT KNOW WHO LIVED ACROSS THE HALLWAY FROM US OR NEXT DOOR TO US, EITHER SIDE.
SO THE TASK FOR THIS GROUP IS TO KIND OF BREAK DOWN THOSE, THOSE WALLS AND BUILD THAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY.
UM, THROUGH EVENTS, I KNOW SEVERAL LAW PROPERTIES AT MASTERS WATCHING PARTIES AND MARCH MAN IS WATCHING PARTIES, BRUNCHES, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO TRYING TO BUILD CAMARADERIE AND COMMUNITY AMONGST THE RESIDENTS WHO, WHO HAVE ONE DAY AND LIVE HERE AND, UH, TAKE ON A SITE PLAN.
SO IT WAS ALREADY MENTIONED, BUT AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER IS THE MANDY CENTER.
HE'D SEE THE POOL COURTYARD THERE AND THAT, THAT PUBLIC, UH, I GUESS TECHNICALLY A PRIVATE COURTYARD WITH PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE NORTH.
AND THEN THE NEXT SIDE, PLEASE JUST ZOOMED IN ON THAT, THAT COURTYARD THERE'S THINGS.
THIS'LL BE A GREAT SPOT FOR RESIDENTS TO GATHER FOR MEALS AT WAYFAIR, UBER, MEET FRIENDS, UH, SIT DOWN AND, AND WORK.
UH, ONE OF THE RESULTS OF THE PANDEMIC, AS EVERYBODY KNOWS, IT'S A LOT MORE OF A HYBRID WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE ARE WORKING FROM HOME A FEW DAYS A WEEK OR, OR FULL TIME.
SO TRYING TO DESIGN SPACES WHERE, UH, YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR, YOUR UNIT AND GO WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SO THIS IS A SPACE WHERE WE THINK YOU CAN GO TO A TABLE.
IF WE WILL HAVE POWER RUNNING THROUGH THOSE TABLES, YOU CAN PLUG IN YOUR LAPTOP, TAKE A SOON, CALL IT A NICE DAY.
UM, WE'LL HAVE BULK WIFI IN THIS COMMUNITY.
SO WHEN YOU MOVE IN, YOU'RE GIVEN A CODE, YOU PLUGGED INTO YOUR PHONE LAPTOP, DIFFERENT DEVICES.
SO WHEREVER YOU ARE, IF IN THE COMMUNITY, YOU HAVE A CONNECTION TO INTERNET.
SO YOU CAN WORK IN PLACES IN PLACES LIKE THIS, THAT BLUE SPACE IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE, THE PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION AREA.
UM, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA, OR WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE ASIN ARBOR FOUNDATION.
I THINK IT'S, UH, IT WILL BE A BENEFIT TO THE PROJECT.
THE TOWN HAS UNIQUE, UH, PIECE OF ART THERE.
UM, ACTUALLY THE CHAIRMAN OF P AND Z SAID HIS GRANDDAUGHTER HAD THE IDEA OF A LONGHORN STATUTE.
UH, GIVEN THE LIVESTOCK, IS THERE A DAY I'M GOING TO GAIN? SO I'M NOT, AND THAT'S HARD FOR ME TO SUPPORT A LONGHORN STATUE, UH, BUT MY DAUGHTERS WERE BIG FANS OF COWS.
SO I'LL PUT IT ON THE PUBLIC RECORD THAT WE WILL PUT IN A ROOM LONGHORN STATUE HERE, IF THAT'S WHAT THE TOWN, ONCE, UH, WE ALWAYS HAD TO WORK TO FOUNDATION, THEY WILL BE A GREAT SPOT FOR THEM.
SO THIS JUST SHOWS THE CONNECTION THAT'S BEEN BEEN SPOKEN TO PREVIOUSLY, THE RED, OBVIOUSLY THE FIRE EMERGENCY ACCESS CONNECTION AND THAT BLUE BEING THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION.
UH, JUST A QUICK WALK FOR THE RESIDENTS AND PEDESTRIANS TO GET TO ESSENCE CIRCLE AND HUMIDITY OFFERINGS THAT ARE THERE.
SO PRETTY PICTURES AND RENDERINGS.
UH, I KNOW YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN SEVERAL WITH, WITH CAIN'S PRESENTATION, BUT THIS IS THE CORNER OF ADDISON ROAD NEAR PORT PARKWAY.
[02:10:01]
MAIN FOCAL POINT OF THE PROJECT.OBVIOUSLY THE PREDOMINANT MATERIAL HERE IS THE BRICK AND
SO THINK IT'S A GOOD LOOKING PROJECT, UH, THAT ON THE RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THAT ANGLE PARROT, BUT THERE IS SUPPOSED TO MIMIC, UH, UH, AIRPORT HANGAR DESIGN.
SO KIND OF PAYING RESPECT TO, UH, THE AIRPORT NEXT DOOR.
AND, UH, KIND OF TRY TO, I SAY WE, THE ARCHITECTS TRIED TO UNIQUELY DESIGNER TO THAT LAST TIME TO, UH, TRY TO UNIQUELY THESE PROJECTS SPECIFIC TO THE SIDE.
IT'S NOT JUST DROPPING DOWN A BOX, IT'S A LOOK AROUND AND MAKE SURE WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH, WITH WHAT'S AROUND US AND, AND HAVE THE LITTLE QUIRKS, LIKE A LOT MORE STATUE OR AIRPORT HANGAR, THINGS LIKE THAT.
THAT, UH, ARE YOU, YOU NEED TO DECIDE A MORE OF AN AERIAL VIEW, SO THIS, YOU CAN SEE THE ROOFTOP AND ALONG, UH, ADDISON ROAD THERE.
SO THOSE ARE THE, THE BLOOD WORK UNITS.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY 1375 SQUARE FEET, UH, NOT TILL 75.
SO CLOSE, UM, A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.
I HAD WRITTEN IT DOWN FIGURED IT MIGHT BE, IT MIGHT BE A QUESTION, BUT, UH, THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY THE BOTTOM FLOOR IS THE KITCHEN LIVING DINING SPACE, AND THERE'S AN INTERNAL STAIRCASE TO WALK UP TO AN OFFICE SPACE AND THEN OFFICE SPACE UPSTAIRS AS A DIRECT ACCESS POINT TO THE FIFTH FLOOR AS WELL.
AND THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN COME OUTSIDE, UH, SEVEN PATIO TO, TO WORK OR THAT'S.
AND I LIKE TONIGHT, WATCH THE STORMS ROLL IN AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WATCH THE AIRPLANES AS THAT'D BE THE UNIQUE COMMITTEE AND FOR THOSE RESIDENTS AS WELL.
UH, THIS IS THE, UH, AIRPORT, UH, PARKWAY FRONTAGE.
SO ONE THING TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT THAT SHADOWED AREA IS IT'S REALLY IT'S INDENTED.
THAT'S WHERE THAT PUBLIC PARK PUBLIC ACCESSIBLE PARK IS.
YOU CAN SEE IT'S A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL SPACE.
IT'S, UH, IT'S NOT LIKE WE DESIGNED THE PLAN AT AN AREA WHERE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
UH, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S A VERY SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED SPACE RIGHT NEXT TO THE FOCAL POINT OF THE PROJECT.
YOU CAN, YOU'LL BE AGAIN AND UNIQUE AND GOOD, GOOD OFFERING FOR THE COMMUNITY.
THIS IS ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER.
UH, SO STANDING ON, ON ADDISON ROAD, UH, YOU CAN SEE THOSE PEOPLE STANDING UP ON THAT ROOFTOP DECK.
THERE WILL BE ONE PORTION OF IT.
UH, LET'S SAY PUBLIC IT'S IF YOU LIVE THERE PUBLIC, NOT THAT YOU AND I, IF WE DON'T LIVE THERE TO PUBLIC, BUT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, IF YOU WANTED TO GO SIT THERE, YOU'D HAVE THAT ACCESS.
THEN YOU CAN SEE THE CEILING HEIGHTS ON THE GROUND FLOOR AS WELL.
THE PERSON IN THE WHITE SHIRT, THERE IS NORMAL NORMAL SIZED PERSON, NOT TRUNKING DOWN FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT.
UH, SHOULD WE GIVE YOU A SENSE OF HOW TALL IS CEILINGS ARE AND THE COMMERCIAL CHARACTER AND THE RETAIL, UH, FEEL ALONG THAT ELIAS AND ROAD SHOULD, UH, THAT, THAT YOU SERVER COM.
SO THIS GETS INTO THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE OF WALKING ALONG AS THE ROAD, THE Y SIDEWALKS AS THE LARGE LINES OVERHANGING.
SO IT REALLY GIVES YOU THAT, THAT, THAT CHARACTER OR RETAIL AND RETAIL FIELD AND THE ABILITY TO EASILY AND SEAMLESSLY CONVERT, UM, SHOULD, SHOULD THAT NEED ARISE.
THIS IS THE FITNESS CENTER THAT KIM WAS MENTIONING.
SO JUST THE LEFT OFF THE SCREEN WOULD BE THE MAIN CORNER OF THE CLUBHOUSE.
UM, SO OBVIOUSLY LOTS OF GLASS HERE ON THE FITNESS CENTER, AND AGAIN, THE WAY TO ACTIVATE THE STREETSCAPE, UH, WITH, WITH LOTS OF ACTIVITY.
AND OBVIOUSLY AGAIN SAID IT BEFORE, BUT A WAY TO EASILY CONVERT SHIT.
SHOULD THAT HAPPEN? UH, ANOTHER CLOSER TO YOU, THE ROOFTOP AS THIS CORNER IS THE COMMUNITY CORNER, AND THEN THE ONES BEYOND IT WOULD BE A SPECIFIC RESIDENCES.
AGAIN, I THINK IT'S WILL BE UNIQUE TO WATCH PLANES TAKE OFF.
UH, IF IT'S, I MENTIONED THIS AT BNZ, BUT IF THERE'S JULY 3RD ROLLS AROUND AND THERE'S NO OPEN UNIT, I WILL WEASEL MY WAY INTO MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS AND I WATCHING THE BOONTOWN FROM HERE.
CAUSE THINK IT WOULD BE, UH, PRETTY, PRETTY AMAZING THE SEATS I'VE ONLY EVER WATCHED IT FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TOLLWAY.
SO, UH, IT'D BE PRETTY COOL, I THINK TO WATCH IT FROM HERE AND JUST ONE, ONE PERK AND, UH, ONE DAY A YEAR, BUT, UH, OTHER DAYS THINK IT'D BE PRETTY UNIQUE AS WELL FOR PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE.
UH, SO THIS SLIDE, WE GET QUESTIONS A LOT.
WHEN WE, WHEN WE TALK TO CITIES, UM, AIR CONCERNS OF HOW, HOW DO YOU ALL KNOW THAT WHAT WE'RE SHOWING YOU WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BUILD? UM, SO WE'VE, WE'VE CREATED THESE SLIDES TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE CONFIDENCE ON TOP OF THE PICTURES THAT WE'VE SHOWN FROM EXISTING DEALS.
UH, BUT THAT TOP PICTURE THERE IS THIS PROJECT, SOME GREAT LINES.
THAT TOP PICTURE IS A COMMUNITY.
IT'S A RENDERING WE SHOWED AT GRAPEVINE CITY COUNCIL.
AND THEN THE BOTTOM PICTURE IS WHAT EXISTS TODAY.
I AM ADMITTEDLY BIASED, BUT I THINK THE BOTTOM PICTURE LOOKS EVEN BETTER THAN THE TOP, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, I THINK YOU CAN SAY CLEARLY LOOKS STRIKINGLY SIMILAR TO WHAT, WHAT WAS SHOWN IN THE NEXT SLIDE.
THIS IS ANOTHER PROJECT AND IRVING AGAIN, TOP PICTURE 10 CONCEPT AS WHAT WAS SHOWN TO COUNCIL.
BOTTOM PICTURE IS WHAT EXISTS TODAY.
IT'S HARD TO SEE HERE, BUT THERE'S EVEN A WOOD GRID PATTERN ON THAT HARD CORNER THAT EXISTS IN THE RENDERING AND THE, THE FINAL PRODUCT THERE WITH THE LIGHTS SHOWN.
SO, UH, HOPEFULLY THIS GIVES YOU A LITTLE MORE CONFIDENCE IN WHAT WE'RE SHOWING YOU TONIGHT.
[02:15:01]
OF YEARS.ONCE, ONCE CONSTRUCTION'S DONE ECONOMIC GIVE BACK TO THE SPECIAL AREAS STUDY, YOU MENTIONED, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, A POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ONLY CONSIDERATION THAT YOU HAVE WHEN MAKING A DECISION LIKE THIS, BUT IT IS, IS AN IMPORTANT ONE.
SO THIS SLIDE SPEAKS TO THE AD VALOREM TAXES THAT ARE GENERATED TODAY BY THE SIDE.
IT'S, UH, ABOUT A TOTAL OF, I THINK IT SAYS $9,500.
AND THEN, UH, THE BOND STABILIZATION IS ABOUT 1.5 MILLION, UH, TOTAL THAT'S BETWEEN THE TOWN AND THE ISD.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT JUST THE TOWN ALONE, IT'S AROUND $3,000 A DAY THAT JUMPS TO ABOUT 450, A THOUSAND DOLLARS A LITTLE OVER THAT, UH, UPON STABILIZATION.
SO BANG, IT'S A POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT, UM, AS WELL.
UH, THAT'LL, I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO TOM.
SO JUST, UH, JUST TO RECAP, UH, ON THE CONCLUSION, WE DO BELIEVE THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN VISION IN THE ADDISON IMPROVEMENT STUDY.
THERE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE DO THINK THERE'LL BE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE, OUR TAXABLE VALUE, AND WE DO THINK A SPOT GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC BENEFIT.
AND THEN BEFORE WE TAKE QUESTIONS, LET ME JUST CLOSE BY THANKING KEN AND HIS TEAM AND JENNIFER AND I'LL ECHO TAYLOR SAID A MINUTE AGO, THEY REPRESENTED THE TOWN WHILE WE HAD LOTS OF TERMS, OUR CONCEPT DESIGN TO GET INTO A PLACE WHERE WE WOULD HAVE PROJECT WATCH FOR OUR COMPANY OR FISH.
AND I ALSO WORKED FOR A TALENT.
AND SO IT IS A SMALL SIDE, IT'S A TIGHT SIDE, BUT THROUGH KIM'S GOOD GUIDANCE AND JENNIFER SHANNON AND THE OTHERS THAT WAS INVALUABLE TO US.
SO THERE WILL BE NO BAD GUYS WORKING AT US, NOT THAT YOU ALREADY THIS SHIP.
UM, SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOM.
I WANT TO READ BEHIND YOU ANYWAY.
SO BECAUSE YOU'D BE LOCATED NEXT TO THE POLICE FIRE STATIONS IN A VERY BUSY GA AIRPORT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR YOUR NOISE ABATEMENT? YEAH, I'M GOING TO ASK BRIAN TO COME OUT.
WE'RE GOING TO COMPLY WITH ALL NECESSARY CODES THAT MAKE IT, MAKE THE SOUND THAT IT'S GOING TO EXIST, BEING APPROPRIATE FOR THE TENANTS IT'S, WE'RE REQUIRED TO IT'S GOOD PRACTICE TO DO THAT.
I JUST, I JUST KNOW JUST HOW LOUD IT IS NOW.
JUST KNOW FOR THE WRENCH OR ASKING, HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO THAT? WELL, WE, YEAH, WE, WE HAVE, YEAH, IT WAS JUST SAY THE GRAPEVINE PROJECT THAT WE SHOWED A, I THINK IT'S 150,000 INCOME.
THAT ONE IS BLENDED THE DFW LANDING PATH.
SO IT WAS IN A NOISE CONE, UM, ACTUALLY BORN INTO YEAR A NOISE PUTTING IN THIS.
UM, SO WE DID AN UPGRADED WINDOWS, STC RATINGS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL DO AN ENGLISH STUDY AND MAKE SURE PUT STC WINDOWS, SOMETHING ALONG THAT, THAT ASTRONAUTS PARKWAY MORE WE'RE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO IT.
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS IF SOMEBODY CAN UNDERSTAND ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE AIRPORT, THEY NEVER MAKE THAT ACROSS THE STREET.
AND SO WE THINK THAT ALL THE MITIGATION TECHNIQUES THAT WE KNOW, AND ALSO THRILLED THAT YOU PUT THAT AIRPORT, UH, VIEWINGS STATION NOW, BECAUSE WHEN THE HOPE'S HAD A PROJECT THAT CAME THROUGH YEARS AGO, THAT DIDN'T IMPROVE THAT I LOVED, IT WAS, IT WAS ALL GENERATED TO ENJOY THE AIRPORT.
IT WAS THAT WE WERE SLOW GETTING THERE.
QUITE FRANKLY, WE WERE TRYING TO PUT MARK ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR AND WHATEVER WOKE UP AND SAID, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE TOP FLOORS, BETTER IDEA.
SO I THINK THAT'S ENDED UP IN AND LOCKED A LOT OF POTENTIAL, FRANKLY, FOR THE, FOR THE BETTER ANOTHER PROJECT THAT A LOT OF THAT REALLY CAME FROM FROM KEN AND STAFF THAT WERE WORKING THROUGH THIS.
I MEAN, THEY CONTRIBUTED, PARTICIPATED DIRECTLY IN AND WHAT YOU SEE HERE.
SO ALL THE COMPLIMENTS ARE PAID TO THE STAFF.
I LIKE TO REITERATE THAT BECAUSE THEY REALLY DIDN'T DO EITHER JOB.
CATHERINE SAID, I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, TOM.
FIRST OF ALL, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
UM, COULD YOU, COULD SOMEBODY SPEAK TO THE RETAIL READY? UH ASKPAT I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FIRST FLOOR IS REALLY GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
IT'S GOING TO BE, UH, APARTMENT.
THAT'S GOING TO BE HOURS THAT ARE, THAT ARE FIT TO CONVERT TO RETAIL IF THAT DEMAND EVER, EVER SHOWS UP, BUT THEY'LL ORIGINALLY BE A PARK PARK AND WILL THERE BE A WORKOUT FACILITY? YEAH, THERE'S A FITNESS CENTER TO THE NORTH OF THOSE APARTMENT UNITS.
AND WE COULD, THAT, THAT WOULD BE CONVERTING.
WE STILL HAVE TO HAVE A FITNESS CENTER, SO WE'D HAVE TO RESET SOMETHING BEHIND IT.
[02:20:01]
YES, SIR.THAT'S THE INTENT OF RETAIL READY? WE'RE NOT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE HOPE THAT DEMANDS EVERYONE.
RIGHT? WE'RE NOT OVERLY OPTIMISTIC THAT WE'LL BE ARGUING.
UM, BUT ANYWAY, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE BUILDING UP TO THAT.
AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION IS, UM, IT, IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE PLANES THAT WERE SHARED WITH US, IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY'S GOT A GREAT VIEW.
IS THAT, I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY'S GOT TO BE WITH THE BEAT INTERIOR OR THE POOL OR EXTERIOR TO THE AIRPORT OR ADDISON CIRCLE WAS THAT, IS THAT I WOULD SAY THE MAJORITY OF GREG, IF EVERYBODY HAS REVIEWED THE FIRST ONE I EVER BUILT, WHEREBY I WILL SAY THAT THE NORTHERN VIEWS ARE GOOD.
THE WESTERN VIEWS ARE GOOD BECAUSE OF THE AIRPORT.
THE SOUTHERN VIEWS ARE, UH, THERE'S ACTUALLY, THAT'S WORTH THE GARAGE, OPENING HISTORY, NOT A LOT OF SIDE VIEWS.
AND THEN THE EASTLAND, IT'S NOT BAD.
LET ME, LET ME HEAR THE SIZE THAT BRIAN SHOWED YOU, BUT THE WAY OUR FIRE LANE CONNECTS TO THE COURTROOMS PAR LANE TO OUR EAST, THAT WAS HOW WE GOT CONNECTIVITY BACK INTO A CORNER.
AND SO WE DIDN'T WANT THE DESPERATE AND TRAFFIC COMING OFF OF OUR SIDE TO HAVE TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD, THEN MAKE A LEFT AT THE ADDISON CIRCLE.
SO THIS WHAT THAT FAR LANE IS, IS, IS A PEDESTRIAN ONLY PLUS FIRE ACCESS.
AND SO THERE'LL BE A GATE THERE THAT DONE ABOUT PEOPLE IN CARS JUST TO COME THROUGH AND MAKE UP, MAKE A SHORTCUT TO WHEREVER THEY'RE TRYING TO GET TO THIS KID REFERENCES THE CORPORATE PROPERTY AT FIRE, UH, WHATEVER IT WAS.
AND, UH, AND SO ANYWAY, WE GOT DOWN THERE, UH, THEY FINALLY AGREED THAT IT WAS A BENEFIT TO BOTH PARTIES.
ANY MORE QUESTION, ONE COMMENT, I'M SORRY, JUST BEFORE I LOSE IT, UH, ON THE NOISE, UH, I WOULD NOT ASSUME THAT PEOPLE REALIZE THEY'RE MOVING IN NEXT TO AN AIRPORT.
SO WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE DONE IN THIS AREA? YOU PUT THINGS IN THEIR LEASES WHEN THEY'RE ASSIGNED, SO THAT PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGED I'M MOVING INTO.
SO JUST, JUST AN IDEA, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT, BUT IT'S BEEN HELPFUL IN THIS, RIGHT.
WE'VE DONE THIS KIND OF THING.
I SUPPOSE IT SEEMS TO ME MORE AND MORE, UH, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE PROJECT RICH WITH DETAIL.
UM, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE APARTMENT LIFE, THE COUPLE THAT YOU MENTIONED, UM, AND THEN BEING DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STATION WOULD BE SAFETY MITIGATION.
UH, IN TERMS OF, UH, IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, CRIMINALS WOULD SEEM TO ME, IT WOULD BE MORE DETERRED FROM COMMITTING CRIMES, THE, IN FRONT OF THE POLICE STATION NOW.
UM, I'M SURE THERE'S EXCEPTIONS TO THAT, BUT THE IDEA OF THE, THE COUPLE OR THE FAMILY THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IS LEAVING THIS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, THAT, THAT WHAT HAPPENS IS, IS YOU GET A TIGHT KNIT COMMUNITY THAT, THAT, THAT THEY KNOW WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEY LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER.
AND SO THAT IS DEFINITELY A MITIGATING FACTOR FOR SAFETY.
A LOT OF PLACES TRY TO EMULATE THAT BY GETTING GROUPS TOGETHER AND SAY, WE'RE CALLING THEMSELVES SOMETHING OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT I'M INTERESTED IN THIS CONCEPT OF WHAT WE'VE DONE.
BACHELOR PARTY LIFE IS, IS ADOPTED BY MANY MEASURE, MULTIPLE GROUPS.
AND IT'S REALLY FACILITATING THE ECONOMIC BENEFIT OF IF YOU'RE NOT AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND YOU LOVE YOUR COMMUNITY, YOU'RE LIKELY TO STAY THERE LONGER THAN YOU WOULD OTHERWISE.
AND SO WE FOUND IT TO BE THE, A GREAT VALUE TO US, REALLY ALL THAT.
CAN WE TAKE A LOOK AT A GRAPHIC THAT WE HAD OF THE WET WEST, WHICH IS LIVE CLOSER, STRAIGHT DOWN, THE WONDERFUL ARE YOU TALKING TO
SO I WANT TO PROBE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THESE UNITS.
THAT POTENTIAL COULD BE RETAIL.
THEY'RE GOING TO START OUT AS, AS, UH, UH, UH, APARTMENT UNITS.
AND IF IN FACT THE RETAIL BECOMES THAT PROFITABLE AND SAW THOSE UNITS WITHIN GO AWAY, IT SHOULD BE TURNED INTO.
SO HOW MANY UNITS IS THAT? THAT'S ABOUT FIVE UNITS.
THIS SIDE OF THE FITNESS, THIS SIDE OF THE FITNESS CENTER.
[02:25:01]
HE COMES ALL THE WAY TO SEVEN O'CLOCK.SO THERE'S 1, 2, 3, YEAH, SOMEWHAT.
AND CAROL, THOSE ARE ALL 14, 15 FOOT CEILINGS.
AND THAT IS SO SOMETHING THAT'S READILY ADAPTABLE TO, AND THOSE UNITS WOULD BE ACCESSIBLE FROM OUTSIDE.
THE ONLY, I'M SURE THAT'S NOT INTERIOR FROM NOTHING FROM THE ITALIAN YOU COME INTO RUNOFF.
I HAVEN'T SEEN, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT, I THINK WHEN YOUR PLANS SHOW THAT THERE'S ELECTRICAL POLES ON THIS SIDE, IS THERE EXACTLY.
I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU THE SAME THING, ASK HIM ONE QUESTION.
HE SAID, HAVE YOU TALKED TO ANYBODY ABOUT ENTERTAINING, UNDERGROUNDING, YOUR PORTION OF WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? I MEAN, IT'D BE NICE.
SOMETIMES IT'S COST PROHIBITIVE, JOSEPH HORN SHIRT, 13, 4 55, NOEL ROAD, DALLAS, TEXAS.
SO, UM, AND THE PROJECT CENTURA THAT WAS PRESENTED THAT OVERHEAD LINE WAS TAKEN UNDER GROUND.
UM, AND SO FROM THAT EXPERIENCE, WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IS TAKING THE LINE, GOING UNDERGROUND FOR SUCH A SHORT DISTANCE.
IT ACTUALLY, IT'S PRETTY CHALLENGING, UM, TO GET BOARD TO DO THAT WITH ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT THEY HAVE.
AND IT'S ALSO, UM, IT'S JUST REALLY CHALLENGING FROM GOING UNDERGROUND IN SUCH A SHORT NAME TO THEN POP UP.
SO IT'S GENERALLY MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TO DO IT IN LONGER STRETCHES.
AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T HIT ON IS THE SETBACKS.
UM, AND I THINK THAT STREET VIEW THAT YOUR SHOW THAT YOU'RE SEEING ACTUALLY ANTICIPATES THE FUTURE WIDENING OF ADDISON ROAD.
AND SO, UH, DAY ONE, THERE IS THE, THE OVERHEAD LINES ARE TO THE WEST OF THE TRAIL THAT YOU WERE JUST SEEING.
UM, AND WITH THE ADDISON ROAD EXPANSION, I GUESS THAT'S WHEN THE LINES WOULD PROBABLY GO UNDERGROUND.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE SAYING IS TOO SHORT, A DISTANCE IS HARD TO DO.
AND THEN, UH, MAYBE, UH, WE WOULD DO EDISON TO OLD.
THERE'S THE POSSIBILITY TO PUT THAT UNDERGROUND, BUT IT'S UNCERTAIN OTHER, SO CAN WE, UH, CAN WE GO TO THE, I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE YOU CAN, WE CAN, CAN WE GO TO SLIDE NINE? THIS IS THE MADISON CIRCLE SPECIAL STUDY AREA OF 2019.
SO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS, THIS PROJECT IS REGARDLESS BETTER THAN YOU'LL SEE THE HORSES.
YOU'LL SEE, ALTHOUGH THINGS ON THAT LAWN FOR DECADES.
SO YEAH, MY COMMENT HERE, QUESTION, GET THOSE THREE RECTANGLES THAT ARE SHOWN THERE.
IF YOU CAN, IF YOU CAN YOU TELL, I CAN SEE IT FROM HERE, BUT DOES IT SAY URBAN RESIDENTIAL ON THE CENTER AND THE SOUTHERN URBAN RESIDENTIAL? YES, SIR.
AND IS THAT ACCURATE? CAN THAT HAPPEN THERE? UH, I THINK PORTIONS OF THOSE BUILDINGS WOULD FALL WITHIN THE NOISE AND THAT'S, AS IT'S CURRENTLY CONSTITUTED THE NOISE CONTOURS AS ARE CURRENTLY CONSTITUTED.
SO IF WE DO A NEW, A NEW NORRIS NOISE CONCOURSE STUDY AND IT DRINKS THOSE, THERE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THOSE ARE OUTSIDE OF THOSE AREAS, BUT THAT WILL BE DETERMINED ON AN ACTUAL, THE COMPLETION OF AN ACTUAL NOISE CONTOUR STUDY, NOT JUST AN ASSUMPTION.
SO YOU IMMEDIATELY SOLVE ADJACENT TO THIS PROJECT IS A HOMICIDE, ALL RIGHT.
THAT IS A CITY ON THE LAND, YOU KNOW, WITH PEBBLES ON IT, THEN SELL SOME OF THAT, THEN THIS BUCKLE GLASS SHOT.
SO, AND ALSO THE, UH, I THINK IT WAS A CAR PLACE.
SO, UH, ACTUALLY, UH, WHEN WE DID AS A STUDY, YOU KNOW, IT'S, UH, TWO AND SO GOING WEST.
SO, SO MY POINT IS THAT THERE CAN BE NO MORE APARTMENTS PUT AT THOSE TWO LOCATIONS SHOWN IN THE 20, 19 29.
I'M ONE OF THOSE, IT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THE QUESTION THAT, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER WILSON ASKED IN THAT.
UM, SO THE, THE PROPERTY THAT THE MARRIAGE HAS REFERENCED THAT THE TOWN OWNS A PORTION OF THAT IS WITHIN THE NOISE COLUMN TO HER, BUT A PORTION OF IT IS OUTSIDE.
[02:30:01]
WHAT'S OUTSIDE, COULD SUPPORT RESIDENTIAL LAND USES.UH, BUT WHAT IS IN THE CONTOUR COULD NOT.
SO THE PARKING GARAGE OVER THERE, YOU CAN PUT A LANDSCAPING THERE, SO YOU WOULD BE OKAY.
AND HOTEL IS, IS NOT A NOISE SENSITIVE LAND USE.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS ENVISIONED BY THE, UH, FOR THE ADDISON CIRCLE, A SUB AREA AT THE SOUTHERN LIMIT IS TO HAVE A BOUTIQUE HOTEL, UH, WITH THE CONNECTION VIA ARTIST'S WAY.
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL US? CAN YOU REMIND US WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE TREE MITIGATION LINING WHAT BUCKET IT GOES INTO? AND I WAS EARMARKED IF IT IS, YEAH, IT IS.
I THINK IT GOES INTO THE GENERAL FUND, BUT IT IS COLLECTED IN AN ACCOUNT THAT IS SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY AS FUNDS THAT WERE COLLECTED FROM AND RELATED TO TREAT MITIGATION PURPOSES.
WE USE THAT SPECIFICALLY TO MITIGATE, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, ANY ISSUES THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO DO ONSITE IN OTHER PORTIONS OF TOWN.
UH, THERE WAS A QUESTION ON THE, THERE WAS ONE QUESTION ON THE LIST OF QUESTIONS THAT YOU RECEIVED EARLY ON, AND IT WAS ABOUT THE PUBLIC I CAN USE.
CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT? CAN TELL US WHAT, WHAT THE QUESTION WAS.
I'LL READ THE QUESTION AND YOU CAN GIVE ME ANSWER.
UM, UH, IF THE BUILDING OWNER, THIS IS A QUESTION SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL AS A RESULT OF THIS AGENDA ITEM PRIOR TO THE COUNCIL MEETING, IF THE BUILDING OWNER ATTEMPTS TO CONSTRUCT A SECURITY FENCE, ENCLOSURE HAD THE QUOTE UNQUOTE PUBLIC PARK, HOW WILL WE, THE TOWN RESPOND TO SUCH AN ATTEMPT, HOW WILL THIS TYPE OF MODIFICATION BE MONITORED IN 10 TO 20 YEARS? CAN FUTURE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MANAGERS ALLOW THIS TYPE OF MODIFICATION WITHOUT COUNCIL APPROVAL? THANK YOU US.
UH, SO THE WAY THESE PLANES AND THE WAY THE ORDINANCE THAT STAFF DRAFTED IS STRUCTURED IS YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY ZONING THAT A SEGMENT OF THE PROPERTY IS A PRIVATE AMENITY.
THAT IS TO BE PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE.
IF THE ZONING WERE TO BE APPROVED AND THEY MOVE FORWARD INTO THE, UH, FURTHER INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OR YOU PROCESS, THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY REACH A POINT WHERE THEY'D HAVE TO SUBMIT A PLAT TO THE TOWN FOR CONSIDERATION THAT WOULD ESTABLISH THE LOT EASEMENTS RIGHT AWAY DEDICATION.
ONE OF THE EASEMENTS WE'D REQUEST IS A PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENT OVER THAT AREA.
SO IN THE FUTURE, IF ANYONE WISHED TO CHANGE THAT CONDITION FIRST, THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO OUR STAFF P AND Z, AND THEN ULTIMATELY CITY COUNCIL TO REZONE THE PROPERTY, TO AMEND THE PD AND TO ALLOW THAT TO NOT BE A PUBLIC AREA ANY LONGER.
AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT, THEY'D HAVE TO THEN SUBMIT A REPLANT APPLICATION IN ORDER TO BASICALLY, UH, THAT EASEMENT, WHICH WOULD THEN BE ACTED ON BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
SO I HAVE NO DISCRETION, NO ONE ON STAFF HAS DISCRETION TO REMOVE THAT CONDITION.
AND NEITHER DOES THE APPLICANT ONLY COUNCIL AND PNZ.
SO IS THIS A SIMILAR, SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE THE GROVES WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ACCESS ROAD AND IT'S AN ACCESS ROAD THAT'S GOING TO BE ONLY FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
THERE IS THAT SIMILAR IN THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME CHALLENGE OR GO THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS TO TRY TO GET THAT CHANGE DIFFERENT MEAN THE DIFFERENT CONDITION, BUT SIMILAR IN THAT THEY, AND THAT, AND THAT THEY COULD NOT LIKE ANYONE AFFILIATED WITH THAT, SOME GROVE OR ANYONE ON STAFF OR ANYONE OTHER THAN P AND Z AND COUNCIL COULD CHANGE THAT CONDITION, THE PROCESS, THE APPLICANT, YOUR EXAMPLE IS NOT PERFECT.
THE PROCESS IS THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO GET TO GOING BACK TO THE PLAN VIEW OF THE OVERALL SITE.
CAN WE GET SOMEONE TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE DESCRIBING HOW A TENANT GETS IN, IN AND OUT WITH THEIR CARS OR ONLY ONE ACCESS HERE? NO, SIR.
SO THE NORTHERN POINT OF ACCESS IS RIGHT HERE OFF OF AIRPORT PARKWAY.
UH, CAN YOU SEE THAT CURSOR? YES.
AND ON THE SOUTHERN POINT OF ACCESS IS A PRIVATE ACCESS DRIVE OFF OF THE ADDISON ROAD, LEADING INTO THE PARKING STRUCTURE HERE.
THE WAY THE RAMPING FOR THE PARKING STRUCTURE IS SITUATED.
THE RAMP IS ORIENTED TOWARDS AIRPORT PARKWAY AND THAT'S, UH, UH, THAT WAS A DELIBERATE FEATURE.
SO THE BULK OF THE RESIDENTS, IF THEY WANT TO ONE HAD SOUTH, THEY CAN DO THAT VIA ADDED SOME ROAD, SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION, MAKING A LEFT, OR THEY CAN GO EAST AND HEADQUARTER
[02:35:01]
THEM AND TURN RIGHT ON CORUM.OR IF THEY WANT TO HIT THE TOLL WAY, THEY CAN MAKE A RIGHT OUT OF THERE AND GO EAST.
SO THAT THE MOST PROTECTION IN THAT, UH, A MAJORITY OF THE TRAFFIC IS STEER THIS WAY IS TOWARDS A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION HERE OR A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION AT KORUM.
SO IT'S VERY SAFE ACCESS CONFIGURATION.
AND HOW DOES THAT AGAIN, SINCE THERE ARE TWO IN AND OUT, I BELIEVE THAT'LL BE A BENEFIT WHEN THAT ROAD IS UPGRADED.
IT'S GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT.
WHAT'S THE TIMELINE OF THE, WELL, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDISON ROAD OR WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR AIRPORT PARKWAY? UH, AIRPORT PARKWAY IS SCHEDULED TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE START OF 2024.
THESE GENTLEMEN CAN ADDRESS THE TIMING OF THEIR PROJECT BEFORE WE DO THAT NOW AT THE VERY BOTTOM, THE LOWER ENTRANCE, THE SOUTHERN ENTRANCE, I'M GOING TO CALL IT, BUT THERE ARE TWO SQUARES THERE WITH THE LETTER T TELL US WHAT THAT IS.
THOSE ARE TRANSFORMERS, OR I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT WAS TRASH AND TRANSFORMED.
THE TRASH WILL BE TUCKED IN OVER HERE, SOME RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE.
LET'S STAY MORE QUESTION TIMELINES FROM OTHER COUNCIL TIMELINE TIMELINE.
WE'VE BEEN HELPED TO BREAK GROUND IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR.
AND IT'S ABOUT 28 MONTH CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, 24, 20 MINUTES.
AND THEN WE WOULD OPEN FIRST QUARTER OF 20, 25, IDEALLY FIRST UNIONS.
SO THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID 20, 24 IS WHEN, WHEN THE ROAD STARTS.
SO MAYBE BY THE TIME THEY'RE WRAPPING UP THEN, BUT LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE THE SECOND POINT OF ACCESS TO LITTLE WAITER, PORT PARKWAY, WALLETS.
YOU FINISHED UP WHAT TO SAY ABOUT SOMEBODY.
UM, WITH THIS PROJECT, BECAUSE THE PROPERTY IS STILL IN A RURAL CONDITION RIGHT AWAY WAS NEVER DEDICATED FOR BOTH AIRPORT PARKWAY AND ADDISON ROAD.
YOU ALL KNOW THAT RIGHT AWAY, UH, ACQUISITION AS A CHALLENGE FOR THE THREE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, THEN ALSO THEY WOULD BE, UH, CONSTRUCTING THE STREETSCAPES ALONG BOTH AS ROAD AND AIRPORT PARKWAY WITH THIS PROJECT.
CAN YOU CAN, UH, WAS, CAN YOU REMIND US OF WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR START TO FINISH BALLPARK FOR BOTH KELLER SPRINGS, UH, AND AIRPORT PARKWAY ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
SO, UH, KELLER SPRINGS, WE HOPE TO BEGIN THIS SUMMER.
UH, AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTION GOES, UH, 18 ABOUT 18 MONTHS, AS FAR AS, UH, COMPLETION OF THAT, WE WON'T START AIRPORT PARKWAY UNTIL, UH, KELLER SPRINGS IS COMPLETED.
UH, SO IF WE'RE STARTING IN 2020 FOR ANOTHER 18 MONTHS OR SO FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF AIRPORT PARKWAY AS WELL, YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT LIKE 20, 24.
ANY MORE QUESTION? ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK SINCE THIS POPPY HERE, AT LEAST DO A VOTE ON IT SAYS, NO, I'D PROBABLY WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM ANYMORE.
SO DO I HAVE MOTION TO IMPROVE ORDINANCE ON THIS? ALRIGHT, SO I HAVE A MOTION AND I HAD CATHERINE MADE A MOTION, LAURIE WATER SECOND, AND ONE MORE TIME WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS FUN FOR THE STAFF.
SO SHE SAID, OKAY, YOU WANT HIM TO REPEAT THAT CONDITIONS? SO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S AWARE OF IT.
UH, SO THE FIRST CONDITION ADDRESSES THE ACQUISITION OF A, AN EMERGENCY ACCESS AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENT, UH, FROM THIS PROPERTY TO A PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH EAST THAT WOULD NEED TO BE, UH, WE WOULD NEED TO SEE BRITAIN NOTICE OF ACQUISITION OF THAT EASEMENT PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT.
UH, THE SECOND CONDITION, UH, ADDRESSES, UM, THE, UH, SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES AS WELL AS INTERIOR CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS THAT THEY VOLUNTARILY, UH, ELECTED TO ADDRESS THAT INCLUDES COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS, UH, RESTRICTING THE USE OF LINOLEUM AND FORMICA IN THE PROJECT, UH, STONE, UH, OR GRANITE COUNTERTOPS OR OTHER SUPERIOR MATERIAL.
AND THEN THE USE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY APPLIANCES.
[02:40:02]
AND THEN THE FINAL CONDITION IS A COLLABORATION WITH THE EDISON ARBOR FOUNDATION ON A PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION, UH, THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD FUND, UM, IN, UH, AT PROMINENT PUBLIC SPACE IN THE PROJECT.AND THEN, UH, THE WAIVERS THAT WERE ADDRESSED IN BOTH THE STACK REPORT AND THE ORDINANCE.
ALRIGHT, IS THAT CLEAR? SO THAT'S EMOTION YOU'LL MAKE RIGHT.
THAT'S A SECOND VIEW OF SEVEN.
SO, SO ALL THE CONSOLE, IF YOU WILLING TO APPROVE THIS, PLEASE SAY, AYE, OPPOSED, WATCH RELATIONS.
[9. Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on an Ordinance Granting a Meritorious Exception to Chapter 62 of the Code of Ordinances for Benihana, a Restaurant Located at 5000 Belt Line Road, Suite 600, in Order to Exceed the Maximum Letter Height for Attached Premise Signs. Case MR2022-04/Benihana. ]
AS A NUMBER NINE PRESENT, DISCUSS CONSIDERATION ONLINE OR IN A SQUATTING, A VERY GROSS EXCEPTION TO INTERRUPT.THE 62 OF THE CODE OF IS FOR BENNY HAMA.
THE RESTAURANT LOCATED IS 5,000 BILL ON
THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS FROM, UH, BENNY HAN.
UH, THEY ARE, UH, CURRENTLY, UH, REMODELING THE FORMER, UH, COBY STEAKS, UH, RESTAURANT, UH, WITHIN THE ADDISON WALK DEVELOPMENT.
UH, THAT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BELTLINE ROAD, UH, JUST TO THE WEST OF DALLAS PARKWAY.
THEY'RE REQUESTING A, UH, MERITORIOUS EXCEPTION TO OUR SIGN ORDINANCE, UH, IN ORDER TO, UH, PROVIDE FOR A LETTER HEIGHT THAT IS LARGER THAN WHAT IS PERMITTED IN THE ASM WALK, A SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT.
UM, SO, UH, THE SITE, UH, IN QUESTION, UH, IS THAT THE BELTLINE ROAD FRONT EDGE, AND IT IS SET BACK, UH, JUST UNDER A 150 FEET, UH, FROM BELTLINE ROAD, HOW WE REGULATE SIGNS IN TOWN AND THIS COMPASSION WALL SIGN, UH, SPECIFICALLY IS, UM, UH, UNDER THE BASE SIGN CODE.
UM, WE APPLY A, UH, MAXIMUM LETTER HEIGHT BASED ON ITS PROXIMITY TO THE STREET, HOW FAR AWAY IT IS FROM THE STREET, AND THEN ALSO HOW TALL THE BUILDING IS.
UM, SO WITH THE WAY THIS SIGN IS SITUATED ON THE BASE CODE, IT WOULD BE PERMITTED TO HAVE A 24 INCH MAXIMUM LETTER HEIGHT, UM, WITH THE ADDISON WALK DEVELOPMENT, UH, WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD IN THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS, UH, THE TOWN, UM, APPROVED A MERITORIOUS EXCEPTION TO ESTABLISH A SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT THAT APPLIED, UH, TO THE ENTIRE PROJECT AND ADDRESSED ATTACH WALL SIGNAGE, UH, BLADE SIGNAGE, UM, UH, FREE-STANDING POLE SIGNAGE THAT YOU HAVE AT THE BELTLINE FRONTAGE AS WELL.
UM, THIS SIGN THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, UH, HAS A FOUR FOOT LETTER HEIGHT AND WHAT'S PERMITTED, UH, IN THE, UH, ADDED SOME WALKS SPECIAL, UH, SIGN DISTRICTS FOR ATTACHED WALL SIGNS, SUCH AS THIS IS A THREE FOOT MAXIMUM LETTER HEIGHTS, UH, BENIHANA.
UH, I WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT OPENING IT UP AT THIS LOCATION AND THEY'VE BEEN WORKING VIGOROUSLY OVER THE LAST MONTHS TO GET THE PERMIT REVIEW AND, AND THE COMPLETE THEIR INTERIOR FINISH OUT.
BUT, UH, THEY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THIS LETTERING HEIGHTS OF BEING TOO SMALL, UH, FOR THEIR BRAND.
AND, UH, THEY HAD SHARED THAT GIVEN THAT THE, UM, FORMER SIGNAGE, UH, THE KOBE, UH, STEAKS AND JAPANESE RESTAURANT, UH, HAD, UH, MORE SIGN AREA THAN THE BENIHANA SIGN THAT'S PROPOSED, IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO APPROVE THE, UH, FOUR-FOOT LETTER HEIGHT IN, IN LIEU OF ENFORCING THE BRIEF FOOT LETTER HEIGHT THAT CURRENTLY APPLIES TO THIS DISTRICT.
UM, WHILE WE, AS STAFF ARE, ARE GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE OF BUSINESSES, UH, WE SHOULD IMPLEMENT THEIR BRAND AND WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF BENIHANA, UH, UH, OCCUPYING THIS SPACE.
AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THEIR OPENING.
UM, WE DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THIS REQUEST.
UM, SO AT THIS LOCATION THAT YOU JUST SIMPLY APPROVED OR APPLIED THE BASE ORDINANCE, THEY WOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE A, UH, TYPICAL LETTER HEIGHT OF 24 INCHES OF HEIGHT.
SO THAT'S LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT THEY PROPOSE THE, UH, SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT THAT WAS ESTABLISHED, UM, FOR THIS AREA ALLOWED, UH, THE BENNY COMMA SPACE AND ONE OTHER SPACE, UH, IN THE SITE THAT IS MORE PROMINENT IN THAT PROJECTS OUT FROM THE, THE, UH, UH, THE BULK OF THE BUILDING FRONTAGE A THREE FOOT
[02:45:01]
MAXIMUM LETTER HEIGHT.SO THAT'S ALREADY SIX TO 12 INCHES LARGER THAN WHAT THEY WOULD BE PERMITTED UNDER THE BAYSIDE CODE.
UM, NORMALLY THAT, THAT WOULD NOT BE A TREMENDOUS ISSUE IF THIS WAS A FREESTANDING BUILDING, UH, THAT WAS NOT INFLUENCED BY OTHER SIGNS IN THE AREA.
BUT GIVEN THAT ADDISON WALK, UH, REALLY HAS A MASTER PLAN SIGNED PLAN WITH THIS SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT, IT WOULD KIND OF STAND OUT HAVING ONE SIGN THAT HAS ORANGE LETTERING, AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE BEING, UH, ANYWHERE FROM TWO FEET TO THREE FEET WITH MOST BEING SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THERE.
SO, UM, STAFF IS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THIS REQUEST AND THE THREE FEET LETTERING IS APPROPRIATE.
UM, WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM BENIHANA HERE TONIGHT.
UH, WHO'S THE VP OF CONSTRUCTION, UH, FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION AND, AND HE, UH, IS HERE TO SHARE HIS PERSPECTIVE ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL.
UH, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND SECONDLY, DIRECT QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANT AS WELL.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR IS THAT I THINK YOU SAID IN THERE WHAT'S THE MAX SQUARE FOOTAGE
WE'RE DOING SOME, UH, SO YES, LET'S SO THEY ARE THERE.
UH, MY ADDRESS IS 6 2 3 6, MERCEDES DALLAS, TEXAS 7 5 2 1 4.
AND VICE-PRESIDENT DEVELOPMENT FOR BENIHANA.
WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT OPENING LATER THIS YEAR, AND, UH, I APPRECIATE Y'ALL TAKING THE TIME.
UH, SO AS YOU SAW, UH, ON THE SIGN, KOBY SIGN IS 88 SQUARE FEET, UH, IN THE FACADE THERE, YOU'LL SEE, AS IT IS, UH, 55 FEET WIDE AND 10 FEET TALL.
SO A LITTLE BIT WIDER THAN A LITTLE BIT NARROWER THAN THIS AND A COUPLE OF FEET TALLER.
AND, UH, THE SIGN THAT KOBE HAS THERE IS 88 SQUARE FEET, AND WE FEEL LIKE THE THREE FOOT HEIGHT LIMITATION PUTS US AT A UNFAIR SQUARE FOOTAGE, ADVANTAGE, OTHER RESTAURANTS THAT HAVE A LONGER NAME OR A TAGLINE.
AND SO, UH, IF FROM A SQUARE FOOTAGE PERSPECTIVE, A THREE FOOT SIGN FOR US IS ONLY 44 SQUARE FEET COMPARED TO THE 88 SQUARE FEET FOR COBY.
SECONDLY, THE STONE FACADE IS QUITE LARGE, AS I SAID, THAT THREE FOOT SIGN IS DWARFED BY THE FACADE WHILE THE FOUR-FOOT SIGN IS FOR PROPORTION BEING APPROPRIATE.
I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IN OUR PACKET.
WE'VE GOT, WE HAVE A DISPLAY OF WHAT THE FORFEIT LETTERS LOOK LIKE ON THE SIDE.
CAN WE HAVE A PICTURE OF IT RIGHT HERE? JUST, YEAH.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE, HOW IT'S KIND OF, IT'S SMALL RELATIVE TO THE SIZE OF THE FACADE.
AND IF YOU WANTED TO SEE AN EXAMPLE THAT SIMILAR OUTSIDE THE MATTRESS FIRM, STOREFRONT WOULD BE, UH, IT'S SIMILAR ORIENTATION AND, AND A COMPLIANT LETTER.
AND ARE THERE SIGNS ALSO A LOT BIGGER SQUARE FOOTAGE? SO THAT'S OUR ARGUMENT.
THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GETTING RUBBED OFF BECAUSE WE HAVE A SHORT NAME.
NO, I ALWAYS, I HAVE A STRUGGLE WITH THE LETTER HIGH EFFICIENT, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE, CAUSE ASSIGN AREA TO ME WHEN I'M LOOKING AT A BUILDING, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I FOCUS ON IS LIKE HOW MUCH AREAS ADVERTISEMENTS, WHETHER IT BE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT BE TALLER, THERE'S LIKE A POINT LIKE A BLADE SIGN, A FLIGHT SIGN.
I GUESS IF YOU LOOK AT A BLADE SIGN, IT CAN BE 50 FOOT TALL VERSUS RIGHT.
AM I GOING TO BE 10 FOOT TALL AND TWO FOOT WIDE ON A BLADE SIDE? SO I DON'T REALLY, I ALWAYS LOOK AT AREA
[02:50:01]
AND I'M THINKING IF IT'S WITHIN A HUNDRED SQUARE FEET, I HAVE A RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH, I MOVED INTO MY OFFICES AND THEY MADE ME GET ASSIGNED.AND I WAS LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO SIGN.
I DON'T WANT ANYBODY COMING INTO MY OFFICE.
SO THE CITY OF ABBOTT, I MEAN, CINDY WAS IN FARMER'S BRANCH FARM IN FRANCE.
I COULD PUT THIS GIGANTIC SIGN UP THERE.
AND ONLY REASON I PUT THIS LITTLE ONE UP THERE, CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY THE MONEY.
BUT IT LOOKS, IT LOOKS KIND OF ODD COMPARED TO EVERYTHING ELSE UP THERE.
CAUSE IT'S ONLY LIKE EIGHT FOOT WALL.
SO IT'S REALLY A SQUARE FOOTAGE, YOU KNOW, ISSUE, NOT REALLY A HIGH ISSUE.
SO I DON'T KNOW, I JUST, I'M A PRO-BUSINESS GUY.
I ALWAYS TRY TO HELP PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, UH, TO HAVE SOME, THE LOCAL COMBINED ON SOME SIDE BIGGER THAN MORE.
BUT FOR THIS, I WILL SAY BECAUSE IT'S LAST OF 100 FOOT SETBACK, THEN 36 INCHES IS PRETTY BIG AND LARGE.
AND THEN YOU'LL PUT A 48 INCHES LETTERS, ESPECIALLY CAPITALIZED IT'S A TWO MONTH AND IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE THIS FACADE CREATIVE.
AND IN MY RESTAURANT WHERE IT WAS 36 INCHES, IT'S ALREADY BIG ENOUGH TO SET IT BACK 200 FEET, WE GET A MERITORIOUS EXCEPTION BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE SHOPPING CENTER WAS SET IT BACK ON 200 FEET.
SO EVERYBODY IS ALLOWED TO HAVE VARIOUS, BUT I THINK IS SO HUGE THAT DOESN'T LOOK ARTISTIC EITHER.
YOU KNOW? I MEAN, SORRY, THAT'S MY OPINION, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I'M NOT HELPING YOU BECAUSE IT'S TOO BIG TO A HUGE, WELL, I THINK IT'S A HUNDRED ABOUT HOW DO YOU SET BACK? DON'T MAKE, MAKE YOU ALSO DO A LITTLE GRADING AND I, I REALLY THINK SUBSTITUTES, WHICH IS ADEQUATE.
YOU HAVE, WHAT WAS THE SITUATION WITH, UH, YEAH, THE COUNCIL.
THEY REQUESTED A MERITORIOUS EXCEPTIONS THAT MAKE THEIR LOGO SIGN LARGER AND THE COUNCIL DENIED.
AND YOU KNOW, I MAY EDIT THAT OUT.
YOU REMEMBER WHEN ADDISON WALK, WE GIVE THEM TWO REFERENCES.
NOW THAT'S BEFORE YOU ARE DONE WITH THE FIRST TIME.
THEN THE REASON THAT YOU DON'T WANT CHANGE IT, WHY IS IT CHANGING? YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH EVEN SOME WATER SIDE.
THAT'S THE REASON YOU HAVE CANBERRA.
SO WHAT WOULD IT GIVE THEM SO MANY MOMENTS, YOU KNOW, AS YOU PURSUE IT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO DO IT AND THEN IS GOING TO BE DENIED.
I THINK PERSONALLY, SORRY, SIX INCHES.
THE GOAL STILL FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, I SAID THAT, I ALWAYS BELIEVE NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR SIDE.
YOU KNOW WHAT LOVE BENNY HAD ON LOVE COAT STICK? YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST DIFFERENT.
YOU'RE GOING TO GET A GREAT BUSINESS FALL AS 48 INCHES OR 76 INCHES IF IT'S ALREADY BEEN WELL.
I MEAN, I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT WE HOPE TO HAVE GOOD BUSINESS HERE.
IT JUST FEELS LIKE THE FOUR-FOOT SIGN IS PROPORTIONALLY APPROPRIATE FOR THAT BAGEL FACADE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE CAME DOWN.
SO I UNDERSTAND WHATEVER WAY Y'ALL DECIDE.
JUST LIKE I USED TO HAVE LIKE A CHINESE RESTAURANT, BUT A DOCTOR BUY SO MUCH SPACE.
SO I JUST HANDED TO JUST GIVE UP CHINESE RESTAURANT, JUST USE SO I CAN'T HAVE BIGGEST MEANS.
AND THIS WORKS IN REVERSE BECAUSE IF I HAD MANY HONDA AND MORE WORDS, LIKE BUFFALO, WILD WINGS, I WOULD GET A LOT MORE SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO BECAUSE VERY HOT, EVERYBODY KNOWS
NOT BECAUSE WE ARE BIG, THEN YOU'RE AFRAID RIGHT NOW IT'S GOT TO BE OUT OF PROPORTION.
I, I AGREE THEN THAT'S WHAT WE THINK OF FOREFOOT.
SO, YOU KNOW, I, I, YOU KNOW, I TRY TO HELP
[02:55:03]
I WANT YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL.AND THE BRADY APPROPRIATE, IS THAT A PUPIL? GOD MAN, SOAP BIG BOOK PRAY.
WELL, IT'S LIKE THE SPATCH CHICKEN HAS GOT TWO ROWS, SO IT'S KIND OF WEARING MORE THAN FOUR FEET.
SO NOW, BECAUSE IT HAS TWO ROWS, BUT HAPPY TO ASK THEM IF THEY CHOSE TO HAVE A BANANA RESTAURANT, THEY CAN STILL KEEP SO SIX INCHES.
SO THIS IS MORE PANELIZED CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WITH IT.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING, BUT Y'ALL, IF Y'ALL GET MY PHONE, YOU WANT TO SAY THAT'S ALL I WAS GOING TO SAY IS I, I MEAN, I'M HOPING THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON A SIGN ORDINANCE.
YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT.
I KNOW, BUT I DON'T JUST, IN MY OPINION, IT'S, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T DO A DISTINCTION BETWEEN LETTERS VERSUS A LOGO.
AND IF SOMETHING IS, YOU KNOW, WE LOVE LOGOS AROUND THAT ARE FOUR FOOT, FIVE FOOT.
I MEAN, YOU CAN PUT A 10 FOR THE LOGO FITS WITHIN OUR A HUNDRED SQUARE FEET ON THAT BUILDING.
BUT IT'S JUST STRINGENT SIGN REQUIREMENTS AND ADDISON ARE NOT A NEW THING.
AND, UH, IT'S HARD TO, I LIKE, I LIKE YOUR VISUAL, BUT IT'S KIND OF DIFFICULT TO SEE WITHOUT LOOKING AT ALL OF THE SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THAT IT'S BEEN, THE HIGHEST LEVEL IS THE LOCAL.
SO EVERYBODY YOU RECOGNIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE REASON WE'RE ALWAYS IN MISSISSIPPI, IN THE HANA.
YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THIS, I DON'T KNOW THAT I SEE THE UNIFORMITY IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I'M SAYING, IF WE STICK WITH, THIS GOES WITH OUR SIGN ORDINANCE, THEN, THEN WE GET REALLY, REALLY CLOSE TO UNIFORMITY.
WHAT IS THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE? BUT, BUT, UH, UM, RIGHT HERE IN OUR PACKET, I'M JUST LOOKING AT BENIHANA.
I'M NOT LOOKING AT BUFFALO, WILD WINGS, EVERYBODY.
AND THAT'S, UM, THAT'S WHERE MY FOCUS IS, IS UNIFORMITY FOR THE WHOLE.
AND THEN W WHERE I'M LANDING IS, UM, IS ADHERING TO THE SIGN ORDINANCE.
WE, WE DID IT WITH A BUFFALO WILD WINGS, AND I THINK THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE.
AND THIS APPLICATION IS WHAT WE'VE DONE AT THE SAME SHOPPING CENTER.
AND I'M WITH THE MAYOR, I THINK MANY HOTTEST GOING TO BE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL, UM, EITHER WAY.
SO SORT OF 60 INCHES IS A PRETTY GOOD SIZE.
SO 60 INCHES, EVERY TIME
WHAT IS MODERN?
