Jul 19, 2022 Planning &amp; Zoning Commission

BUSINESS, HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO PRESENT DISCUSSING CONSIDER ACTION IN SAM'S CLUB.

NEXT ITEM,

[3. Hold a Public Hearing, Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on the Sam's Club Special Area Study, a Long-Range Planning Policy Guiding Future Development and the Provision of Infrastructure and Social Amenities within a 79+/- Acre Area Bounded by Belt Line Road to the North, Hornet Road to the South, Midway Road to the East, and existing residential neighborhoods to the West. ]

SPECIAL AREA OF STUDY ON RANGE PLANNING, POLICY GUIDING, FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, AND THE PROVISION OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOCIAL AMENITIES WITHIN 79 PLUS OR MINUS ACRE AREA BENNETT BY BELTLINE ROAD TO THE NORTH CORNER ROAD TO THE SOUTH MIDWAY ROAD TO THE EAST AND EXISTING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE WEST.

CAN, CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE? GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS, KEN SCHMIDT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR THE TOWN OF MADISON.

SO, UM, AT YOUR MEETING IN JUNE, UM, WE GAVE A VERY DETAILED PRESENTATION ON THE DRAFT, UH, SAM'S CLUBS, SPECIAL AREA STUDY REPORT, AND THAT REPORT WAS RELEASED ON JUNE 17TH.

AND TO KICK OFF THAT RELEASE, UH, WE TOOK A DEEP DIVE INTO THE CONTENTS OF THAT REPORT AND THE WORK THAT WAS DONE BY THE 17 MEMBER ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT WORKED ON THAT PROJECT.

UM, WITH MY PRESENTATION TONIGHT, I'M GOING TO RECOVER SOME OF THAT GROUND, BUT NOT ALL OF THAT GROUND AND THE INTEREST OF TIME.

I KNOW FOLKS WANT TO, UH, ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON SEVERAL ITEMS. SO I WANT TO RESERVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT, BUT THEY GIVEN, UM, THAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS.

AND THEN THERE'S A CASE THAT FOLLOWS THIS, THAT RELATES TO THAT STUDY.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE, UH, DO, UH, COVER THE MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE POLICY.

SO, UM, WITH THAT, UM, WE DID PROVIDE, UM, PUBLIC NOTICE TO, UM, THROUGH THE POSTCARD.

YOU SEE ON THE SLIDE TO OVER 1400 RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, IN THE AREA BOUNDED BY THE BELTLINE MARSH, UH, SPRING VALLEY.

UM, AND THEN, UM, MIDWAY ROAD, OF COURSE.

UM, AND THE GOAL WAS TO, TO GIVE PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE PLAN AND TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO THE COMMISSION.

AND SO WITH THAT, WE HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY HERE TONIGHT THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND, UH, UH, IF THE COMMISSION DOES ELECT TO TAKE ACTION ON THE PLAN TONIGHT, IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD, UH, TO CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION AND ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING ON AUGUST 9TH.

UM, SO WITH THAT, WE'LL START THE DISCUSSION.

SO,

[00:05:01]

UM, THERE IS OF COURSE, A LOT OF HISTORY, UH, WITH THIS PROJECT, UH, IT WAS BORN OUT OF THE 2013 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE A SPECIAL PROJECT COMMITTEE, UH, DO A DETAILED STUDY OF THE AREA, GENERALLY BOUNDED BY A BELTLINE ROAD TO THE NORTH MIDWAY ROAD, TO THE EAST, UH, READY TRAIL TO THE SOUTH.

AND THEN THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE WEST THAT STUDY WAS DONE IN 2014, UM, AND LEADING AND RESULTING FROM THE CONSIDERATION OF THE ADDISON GROVES ZONING CASE, UM, RECOMMENDATIONS WERE ADOPTED FOR THAT SPECIFIC AREA, BUT NOT THE REMAINDER OF THE STUDY AREAS.

SO, UH, LEADING UP TO 2021, UH, GIVEN THE TALENTS, UH, PROJECT TO REVITALIZE MIDWAY ROAD AND FULLY RECONSTRUCT IT, UM, THERE WAS ALSO ANTICIPATED DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT INTEREST IN THIS AREA.

SO, UH, TOWN STAFF REQUESTED, UH, THE, UH, CAPABILITY TO PERFORM AN UPDATE TO THE PLAN, UH, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THAT, UM, AND, UH, REALLY A COMPLETION OF A PLAN AND CITY COUNCIL ALSO DIRECTED STAFF TO EXPAND THE STUDY AREA, UH, TO THE NORTHERN LIMITS OF THE GREENHILL SCHOOL ROAD.

SO, UM, WITH THAT A, UH, SPECIAL AREA STUDY, UM, PROCESS WAS ESTABLISHED, UH, 14 NEIGHBORHOOD REPRESENTATIVES, THREE BUSINESS PROPERTY OWNERS WERE APPOINTED BY THE COUNCIL TO GUIDE THAT EFFORT AND ADDRESSED, UM, JUST UNDER 79 ACRES OF LAND AND, UM, A RANGE OF LARGE BUSINESS PROPERTIES IN THE STUDY AREA.

BUT ALSO OF COURSE, UH, THE ADDISON GROUP DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

AND, UH, THAT COMMITTEE WAS TASKED WITH, UH, ANALYZING, UH, UH, EXISTING MARKET AND SITE ANALYSIS DATA PRESENTED BY OUR TEAM, UH, SERVING AS A SOUNDING BOARD, UH, AND ADVISING THE RECOMMENDATIONS PRESENTED BY THAT PROCESS AND THEN CALIBRATING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK TO, UM, GET TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

UH, FINAL RECOMMENDATION FOR THE VISION FOR THIS AREA.

SO THAT PROCESS STARTED BACK IN MAY OF LAST YEAR, UH, KICKED OFF WITH EARLY MEETINGS AND INTERVIEWS, UH, WITH THE COMMITTEE AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY.

UH, AND THEN, UM, WE STARTED TO DO BROADER PUBLIC OUTREACH AS PART OF THAT PROCESS, HAVING A COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE AT, UH, THE ADDISON ATHLETIC CLUB AND THEN CONTINUING TO WORK, UH, WITH THAT COMMITTEE TO, UH, ULTIMATELY PRESENT A, UH, DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND THEN A SECOND, UH, OPEN HOUSE AT THE ATHLETIC HOLD ON.

UM, AFTER THAT SECOND OPEN HOUSE, UH, THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DIALOGUE WITH THE COMMITTEE AS FAR AS WHERE THE PLANNING PROCESS WAS AND WHAT COULD BE DONE TO IMPROVE THE PLAN.

AND THE COMMITTEE CONTINUED TO WORK, UM, WITH STAFF TO REFINE AND IMPROVE THE PLAN, UH, TO ULTIMATELY OUR RELEASE OF THE DRAFT STUDY IN JUNE FOR CONSIDERATION.

SO WE'RE HERE TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST STEP IN PUBLIC APPROVAL PROCESS BNZ CONSIDERATION.

SO THOSE OUTREACH EVENTS THAT I JUST SUMMARIZED HERE, THEY ARE IN MORE DETAIL, WE DID HAVE GOOD PARTICIPATION AT THESE EVENTS, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THAT WE WERE STILL VERY MUCH IN A PANDEMIC, THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS, UM, THREE BUSINESS PROPERTY OWNERS TO INCLUDE THE OWNER OF THIS SITE.

UH, AND THEN ALSO 14 VERY DEVOTED RESIDENTS AND VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT FEATURING THIS AREA.

UH, THEY MET SEVEN TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF ROUGHLY A YEAR LONG PERIOD.

UM, THE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE EVENTS, UH, EACH OF THEM WE HAD AT LEAST 70 PEOPLE PARTICIPATE.

ONE GOT UP TO 80, AND THEN WE HAD TWO SURVEYS AS WELL, WITH 240 RESPONDENTS TO THE SURVEYS.

UM, THE KEY OUTCOMES OF THAT INITIAL, UH, SITE ANALYSIS, MARKET ANALYSIS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONDITIONS THAT INFLUENCE THE STUDY AREAS.

FIRST, WE HEARD A LOT FROM THE COMMITTEE ABOUT STRUCTURING PROCESS.

THERE WAS FRUSTRATIONS WITH THE FIRST STUDY AND THE COMMITTEE WAS VERY CONCERNED THAT WE DID NOT, UM, EXTEND, UH, CONCERNS ABOUT THAT PROCESS TO THIS PROCESS.

SO WE HAD A MAJOR RECALIBRATION, UM, IN THE PROJECT SCOPE AND HOW IT WAS EXITED COMMITTEE MET, UH, FOR MANY HOURS OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MEETINGS TO DEVELOP A VERY DETAILED, UM, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS AREA.

ONE OF THE KEY TENANTS OF THAT DIALOGUE WAS THAT, UM, IT'S,

[00:10:01]

UH, THEIR SHORT TERM NEEDS IN THIS AREA, BUT THERE'S ALSO A LONG TERM NEEDS.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FLEXIBILITY IS NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO BOTH RESPOND TO THE SHORT TERM, BUT ADDRESS THE LONG TERM.

UH, AND ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT FLEXIBILITY IS REALLY CRITICALLY LOOKING AT WHERE WE NEED TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY EXISTS AND THAT'S NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY.

SO THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ABUT THE AREA TO THE WEST AND SHARING WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THE STUDY AREA, WHETHER IT'S REDEVELOPMENT OR REUSE, IT'S DONE IN A COMPATIBLE WAY AND IT'S BUFFERED APPROPRIATELY AND YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE LAND USE AND VEHICLE CONNECTIONS AS WELL.

UM, THE THING THAT I THINK WE REALIZED THROUGHOUT ALL OF THAT DIALOGUE IS HOUSING CONTINUES TO REMAIN A VERY CHALLENGING POLICY DISCUSSION.

UH, WE DID NOT, UH, RE OBTAIN CONSENSUS ON HOUSING THROUGH THE WORK OF THAT GROUP.

UM, IT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE A CHALLENGING ISSUE, AND WE'LL HAVE A CHALLENGING DISCUSSION LATER THIS NIGHT ON HOUSING.

UM, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE STUDY AND THE POLICY DOES GIVE US SOME TOOLS THAT IMPROVES OUR POSITION TO HAVE A MORE EFFECTIVE DIALOGUE ON THAT VERY DIFFICULT CONSIDERATION.

SO THE STRATEGIC STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR THE STUDY IS, UM, UH, REALLY REFLECTS THE TECHNICAL PLANNING HIERARCHY, WHERE YOU HAVE A VERY BROAD OVERALL OBJECTIVES, AND YOU GRADUALLY BECOME MORE DETAILED TO WHERE YOU GET DOWN TO VERY SPECIFIC GRANULAR ISSUES SUCH AS HOW, WHY THEY TRANSITIONS SHOULD BE AND HOW IT SHOULD BE LANDSCAPED.

SO WE'LL START WITH THOSE BROAD OBJECTIVES AND THEN DRILL DOWN TO THOSE DETAILED RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO THE OVERALL OBJECTIVES, UM, THEY ARE, UH, VERY BROAD, BUT VERY ON-POINT IN TERMS OF THE GOALS FOR THIS AREA.

I THINK THE, THE ONE THAT REALLY STICKS OUT HERE IS SUPPORTING NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT RESPECTS SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.

THAT WAS A KEY TENANT OF THIS PROCESS.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO DISCUSS AS WE ADDRESS, UH, REQUESTS TO REZONE REDEVELOP IN THIS AREA, BUT ALSO BUILDING IN FLEXIBILITY AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES THAT COMPLIMENT WHAT'S AVAILABLE.

NOW, ALL KEY ELEMENTS OF THE VISION FOR THIS AREA.

WHEN YOU GET DOWN INTO DESIGN PRINCIPLES, A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF THIS STUDY, AND A LOT OF THE WORK WE DO HERE IN ADDISON IS IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT HIGH QUALITY SOCIAL AMENITIES, AND WE'RE LEADING THE WAY WITH THAT IS PUBLIC OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS.

IT'S AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY AND BEING ABLE TO HAVE SAFE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT, PARTICULARLY AS REDEVELOPMENT OCCURS.

UM, ONCE AGAIN, GETTING INTO COMPATIBILITY ISSUES SUCH AS ALLOWING BUILDING HEIGHTS AND USES THAT RESPECT THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT ALSO RECOGNIZE MARKET POTENTIAL.

SO THERE'S A GIVE AND TAKE.

THERE CAN'T FAVOR ONE TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE OTHER, BUT IT HAS TO BE BALANCED AND THEN ACCOMMODATING A LIFE CYCLE, HOUSING OPTIONS, A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES WHERE NEW HOUSING IS PROPOSED AND MAXIMIZING FLEXIBILITY AT THE MIDWAY ROAD FURNITURE.

THAT'S A KEY FRONTAGE.

IT'S THE GATEWAY TO THIS AREA, REALLY A KEY GATEWAY TO ADDISON, UH, DEVELOPMENT FORMAT, LAND USE, AND HOUSING.

NEXT, THIS IS WHERE WE START TO GET INTO MORE DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THINGS LIKE HOUSING AND SCALE AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.

SO A BIG TENANT OF THIS DISCUSSION WAS WE'RE NOT TRYING TO REPLICATE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS AND HANDSOME.

IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE MIDWAY MEADOWS, BUT IT'S ALSO PROBABLY NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE ADDISON CIRCLE OR VITRUVIAN PARK.

IT NEEDS TO STAY AND ON ITS OWN, HAVE ITS OWN CHARACTER AND HAVE A VARIETY OF SCALES.

ENTITIES, BUILDING TYPES USES SOMETHING THAT'S UNIQUE AND REALLY ADDS VALUE TO ADDISON'S, UH, DEVELOPMENT CHARACTER.

AND THEN WAREHOUSING IS CONSIDERED, UH, IT'S UM, SPOKE TO THE TOWN'S HOUSING POLICY.

IT DID SPEAK TO THE NEED TO CONSIDER WHAT WE CALL MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING.

SO HIGHER DENSITY, SINGLE FAMILY OWNERSHIP, HOUSING TYPES.

THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

IT ALSO DIDN'T ELIMINATE THE CONSIDERATION OF DENSER HOUSING TYPES, BUT IT SPOKE TO THE NEED TO REALLY CAREFULLY CONSIDERED WHAT'S HOUSING TYPES AND HOW THEY IMPACT THE SURROUNDING AREA, BOTH POSITIVELY AND NEGATIVELY, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY.

A HUGE COMPONENT OF THIS WAS THE TREATMENT OF THE COMMON BOUNDARIES NEIGHBORHOODS, LITTLE WEST.

WE CALLED THAT THE RESIDENTIAL TRANSITION ZONE.

AND THEN ALSO THINKING ABOUT IMPACTS ON EXISTING BUSINESSES

[00:15:01]

THAT ARE THRIVING.

WE DO HAVE SOME BUSINESS AREAS IN THIS STUDY AREA WHERE THE DECLINE IS OCCURRING, AND IT WOULD BE BEST IF REINVESTMENT OCCURRED, BUT THERE'S OTHER AREAS WHERE THERE ARE DRIVING AND THE BUSINESSES ARE RESILIENT, AND WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING FROM A LAND USE POLICY STANDPOINT, THAT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THAT RESILIENCE, UM, MOBILITY, CONNECTIVITY, UH, MAKING THIS AREA MORE WALKABLE THE BEST AND PEDESTRIAN FOR EMILY BOTTOM LINE IS A KEY COMPONENT HERE.

THE TRAIL AND MIDWAY ROAD WILL HELP THAT, BUT AN EVEN BETTER IMPROVEMENT WILL BE HAVING A TRAIL OFF THAT MAIN CORRIDOR AT THE WESTERN BOUNDARY OF THIS AREA.

SOMETHING THAT'S NOT CONSTRAINED BY VEHICLE TRAFFIC, AND YOU'RE ABLE TO HAVE A VERY ROBUST LANDSCAPE, UH, SOMETHING THAT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM SOME OF OUR OTHER TRAIL CORNERS THAT ARE CONSTRAINED BY UTILITIES, TRAILS, AND SPACE.

ONCE AGAIN, A BIG TERM THAT WE USED IS TRAIL ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT.

SO YOU'RE NOT JUST DOING THOSE TRAILS FOR RECREATION WHILE YOU'RE USING THEM TO SH TO ENCOURAGE AND PROMOTE POSITIVE INVESTMENT THAT ENGAGES THE TRAIL SO THAT YOU DON'T WANT DUMPSTERS AND BACKS OF BUILDINGS AND UTILITIES TO BE YOUR TRAIL EXPERIENCE.

YOU WANT TOWNHOMES THE FRONT ON THE TRAIL.

YOU WANT BUSINESSES WITH PATIOS THE FRONT ON THE TRAIL.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT A PLACE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE, PEOPLE ARE THERE AND YOU FEEL SAFE WALKING ON IT.

UM, PLACEMAKING A BIG COMPONENT OF PLACEMAKING IS, IS THE FRONT DOOR AND THIS AREA, THE FRONTAGE SETTLEMENTS.

SO THE MIDWAY ROAD CORRIDOR, YOU WANT BUILDINGS OF A SCALE THAT ARE APPEALING AND TO PROVIDE A COMMERCIAL FRONT ENGINE AND GET AWAY FROM THE CURRENT PATTERN WHERE YOU HAVE PERHAPS TOO MUCH PARKING AND PERHAPS TOO MUCH DETERIORATING, PRIVATE INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AT THE FRONT END.

DIDN'T IT REALLY BEING ABLE TO BEING AN APPEALING STREET AT SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO WALK THERE AND DRIVE THROUGH THERE AND STOP AND VISIT THERE.

AND THEN THE PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK THAT WE USED TO, UM, BETTER DEFINE THESE PRINCIPLES IS SOMETHING WE CALL THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK MAP.

UM, SOMETIMES WITH THESE MAPS, THAT CAN BE VERY DETAILED AND HAD VERY DETAILED RECOMMENDATIONS WITH REGARDS TO LAND USE THAT CAN EVEN SHOW THE BUILDING FOOTPRINTS, SOME OF THE TOWN, THE PLANS THE TOWN HAS DONE IN THE PAST.

THEY LOOK KIND OF MORE LIKE A SITE PLAN.

UM, WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE COMMITTEE IS THAT, UM, THEY WANTED TO MAXIMIZE FLEXIBILITY OR CLYDE LIMITATIONS ON WHAT COULD BE THE CHEWED, WHAT WE DESIRE TO HAPPEN IN THIS AREA, BUT NOT COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT REALLY JUST PUSHES IT IN ONE PREDETERMINED DIRECTION.

SO THAT IS WHY YOU DON'T SEE SPECIFIC LAND USE IS CALLED OUT HERE.

WHAT'S CALLED OUT HERE IS A MIX OF USES BECAUSE A VERY GENERIC STREET PATTERN SHOWN HERE JUST TO KIND OF TRY TO PROVIDE SOME ORDER TO THINGS, BUT REALLY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S NOT SET IN PLACE UNTIL HE KNEW.

WHAT USE IS IT GOING TO DEVELOP HERE? AND IT NEEDS TO BE ACCOMMODATED OVER TIME TO ALLOW USES TO CONNECT EFFECTIVELY.

A BIG COMPONENT OF THAT CONSIDERATION IS NOT PROMOTING AND INSTEAD OF DISCOURAGING CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC.

SO A LOT OF A BIG ELEMENT OF WHY THAT STREET NETWORK WAS DRAWN IN IS TO SHOW THAT WE'RE NOT JUST SHOOTING IN A RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR RIGHT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT THING.

LIKE THE LAST STUDY THAT WAS CONDUCTED, IT NEEDS TO BE CONNECTED, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN A WAY TO DISCOURAGE TRAFFIC.

IT NEEDS TO PROVIDE ACCESS AND THE FAVOR OF THE PEDESTRIAN INTERNAL TO THE SITE.

UM, SO THE FIRST COMPONENT OF THE MIX OF USES IS EMPLOYMENT AND SERVICE USES.

SO THESE CAN BE LARGE FORMAT BUILDINGS, MIXED USE BUILDINGS THAT ARE PRIMARILY EMPLOYMENT DRIVEN.

THESE ARE REALLY BEST SITUATED AT THE CORRIDOR FRONT END, WHERE THEY GET THE VISIBILITY THAT THEY NEED.

UM, THE SAME EXTENDS TO THE NEXT CATEGORY OF USES RESTAURANT AND RETAIL, AND HAVING THAT VISIBILITY ON MIDWAY EASE OF PARKING.

SO SOMEONE CAN GET IN PARK AND THEN ENJOY THE WALKABLE AMENITIES OF THIS AREA IS VERY IMPORTANT.

AND THEN SOCIAL AMENITIES IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THIS.

THE OBVIOUS ONES WE'VE DISCUSSED ALREADY IS PARKS TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE THAT WESTERN BUFFER THAT RESIDENTIAL TRANSITIONS ZONE THAT IN ITSELF IS MULTI-PURPOSE.

IT PROVIDES BUFFERING TO THE SINGLE FAMILY, BUT IT ALSO SERVES AS A PEDESTRIAN BY ACHIEVING A TRAIL THROUGH THAT CORRIDOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR TRAIL MASTER PLAN AS WELL.

BUT OTHER THINGS THAT YOU MAY NOT NECESSARILY

[00:20:01]

THINK OF AS, AS IT RELATES TO SOCIAL AMENITIES, MERRILL'S PUBLIC ART, UM, ENHANCED PAINTING.

THOSE WERE THINGS THAT WERE POINTED OUT, NOT ONLY FROM THE COMMUNITY, THE COMMITTEE, BUT ALSO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

UM, HERE WE START TO GET INTO THE HOUSING TYPES.

I MENTIONED MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING.

UM, WE WERE FORTUNATE, UM, UH, WHILE THE STUDY WAS, UH, UNDERWAY TO HAVE A MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT BE PROPOSED FOR THE, UM, FORMER, UM, SUPER EIGHT MOTEL SITE THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE TOWN.

AND THIS POLICY WAS A KEY COMPONENT OF WHY THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED BY THE TOWN.

IT WAS PROVIDING THE SIMPLE TOWNHOMES, A VERY DENSE PRODUCT, ONE THAT COULD BE DONE IN AN ECONOMICAL AND ON A SITE THAT COULD SUPPORT IT.

UH, SO THAT WAS A BIG WIN THERE'S OTHER TYPES OF HOUSING, SUCH AS DUPLEXES, COTTAGE HOUSING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED IN THAT CATEGORY AS WELL HERE IN ADDISON, UM, WHERE WE SEE THESE HOUSING TYPES ARE UTILIZED MOST EFFECTIVELY IS OFF OF THE CORRIDORS AND NOT HUNTING ON MIDWAY, NOT FRONTING ON BELTLINE, BUT IDEALLY FRONTING AND ENGAGING THAT TRAIL CORRIDOR.

SO YOU HAVE A VERY INVITING FRONT DOOR, UH, OVER WATCHING THAT TRUCK CORRIDOR AND MAINTAINING FEEL LIKE A SAFE, APPEALING PLACE.

AND THEN THE FINAL, UM, USE CATEGORY IS MULTIUNIT HOUSING.

SO THIS INCLUDES MULTIFAMILY RENTAL.

THIS INCLUDES CONDOMS. IT INCLUDES SENIOR HOUSING TYPES, SUCH AS INDEPENDENT LIVING OR ASSISTED LIVING.

UM, THESE ARE BEST SITUATED, UH, FRONT DEAN ON MIDWAY ROAD AND WHERE IT HAS FRONTED JUMP MIDWAY ROAD.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE ACTIVE USES AT THE GROUND FLOOR.

SO IT'S JUST NOT RESIDENTIAL.

I HAD THE GROUND FLOOR, BUT HAVING SPACE FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OR, UH, AMENITIES, IF IT IS A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS A COWORKING SPACE, UM, ACCESS TO OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS IS OBVIOUSLY VERY IMPORTANT FOR THAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.

SO IF THAT USE IS PROPOSED, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT, UH, PERHAPS MORE OPEN SPACE IS PROVIDED, UH, WHEN COMPARED TO SAY OTHER URBAN DEVELOPMENT TYPES THAT REESE, UM, THE BUFFER ZONE THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT IS THE RESIDENTIAL TRANSITION ZONE.

UH, THE, UH, PREFERRED WITH, UH, FOR THAT IS 100 FEET.

UH, WE SAW WITH THE COLDWELL HELMETS PROJECT, THE, UH, COMMUNITY ULTIMATE LANE ALLOW FOR A DEVIATION FROM THAT WITH, BUT, UH, THAT WAS PROBABLY MORE IN RELATION TO THAT SITE.

IT'S A SMALLER SITE THAT ALSO, UH, THAT YOU, UM, IN THE MAJORITY OF THIS AREA THAT A HUNDRED FOOT BUFFER SHOULD BE EASILY ACHIEVED, PROVIDED THAT THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT IS ECONOMICALLY VIABLE ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE THAT BUFFER.

UM, AND THAT'S JUST NOT PROVIDING A HUNDRED FEET OF SPACE AND NOT IMPROVING IT.

IT NEEDS TO BE HEAVILY AMENITIZED.

IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S READY TO BE USED BY THE FOLKS THAT ARE IN THIS AREA, BUT ALSO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO PRAIL IS PUBLIC ART, UH, LIGHTING OTHER PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES, VERY IMPORTANT.

THE PRIORITY FRONTAGE ZONE IS OUR FOCUS AREA AT BELTLINE AND MIDWAY.

THAT'S ENSURING THAT WE HAVE, UH, BUILDINGS THAT APPROPRIATELY ENGAGE THOSE KEY CORRIDORS.

SO IT SERVES AS A GATEWAY AND USES THAT WOULD PERFORM BEST THERE.

WE'VE SEEN WHERE WE'VE HAD, NON-RESIDENTIAL USES TUCKED AWAY IN THE BACKS DEVELOPMENTS, AND THEY'VE NOT HAD THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE NEEDED TO SUCCEED.

THE POINT OF THIS ZONE IS REALLY THE FOCUS, THOSE ON THAT CORRIDOR AND ENSURE THAT THEY'RE VISIBLE TO FOLKS THAT TRAVERSE THAT CORNER.

SO, UM, WITH THE, UM, STUDY, UH, WE HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION, UM, THAT ADDRESSES PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS AREA SUCH AS TALENT INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT ALSO, UH, THE REGULATORY REVIEW PROCESS.

UM, MOST NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA WILL LIKELY REQUIRE REZONING DUE TO THE AGE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS AREA, BUT ALSO DUE TO THE AGE OF THESE ZONING DOCUMENTS.

AND IN THIS AREA, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY ALIGN WITH CURRENT MARKET TRENDS FOR ANY REAL ESTATE CLASS, NOT JUST HOUSING.

SO WITH THE REPORT, AND THESE ARE DOCUMENTS ARE ALL POSTED ONLINE.

WE HAVE ROUGHLY A 40 PAGE STUDY THAT IS REALLY THE MAIN POLICY DOCUMENT, BUT THEN, UM, WE PROVIDED ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME IN THIS PROJECT, UH, THAT PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE

[00:25:01]

AND PRESENTED TO THE COMMUNITY, UM, FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TAKE A REALLY DEEP DIVE THERE'S HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF SLIDES AND MAYOR, UM, FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THOSE ARE ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL.

UM, SO WITH THE MEETING IN JUNE, THE COMMISSION DID, UH, PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REFINEMENT AS IT RELATES TO, UM, REVIEW AND UPDATE IN THE PLAN.

STAFF, UH, DID PUT LANGUAGE INTO THE DOCUMENT THAT'S PRESENTED TONIGHT THAT, UH, IDENTIFIES THE NEED FOR THE COMMISSION TO LOOK AT THIS ANNUALLY, UH, FOR AN UPDATE.

AND THEN IF THEY SEE ANY AREAS OF NEEDED REFINING AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL ALSO MADE A SERIES OF CORRECTIONS TO MIND TYPE THOSE IN THE DOCUMENT.

UM, SINCE THE, UH, SINCE FRIDAY, UM, WE FIRST STARTED RECEIVING FEEDBACK ON THE FINAL DOCUMENT AND, UM, THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE FEEDBACK, UH, IS SUMMARIZED AND THESE FIRST FOUR ITEMS, UM, WITH THE SECOND ITEM BEING THE MOST COMMON.

UH, SO THE FIRST ONE, UH, ADDRESSES INCLUDING LANGUAGE THAT STATES NO APARTMENTS ADJACENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL TRANSITION ZONE AND CURRENT SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

SECOND ONE IS REMOVING THE MAJOR NEW VEHICLE CONNECTION THAT WOULD CONNECT VEHICULAR TRAFFIC TO, AND FROM THE CURRENT ADDISON TREE HOUSE TO PROTON DRIVE, A THIRD IS REMOVING THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL TRANSITION ZONE AND TRAIL CONNECTION BETWEEN PROTON DRIVE AND HORNY ROAD.

A FOURTH IS REMOVING THE MAJOR NEW PEOPLE CONNECTION ACCESSING THE PRIVATE PROPERTY THAT IS OWNED BY GREEN HEALTH SCHOOL.

SO THE COMMISSION, UH, ADDRESSED OF THESE IN PRETTY GREAT DETAIL IN THE WORK SESSION, UM, I'LL SHARE, UH, THE FEEDBACK I HAVE TO SHARE IT AS WELL.

UM, ON THE FIRST ONE RELATING TO APARTMENTS ADJACENT TO THE TRANSITIONS.

UM, UM, I THINK THE BROADER ISSUE IS, IS MORE OF A, A SITE DESIGN ISSUE.

A CHURCH CAN BE, UH, INCOMPATIBLE WITH SINGLE FAMILY AT RESTAURANT CAN BE CERTAINLY AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING CAN CERTAINLY A BROAD RANGE OF USES CAN BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH SINGLE FAMILY, EVEN ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL TRANSITIONS.

YOU CAN DESIGN A MULTIFAMILY BUILDING TO BE AND HAVE A SCALE, A DENSE, A PROGRAMMING TO BE COMPATIBLE AT THAT LOCATION, BUT YOU CAN ALSO DESIGN A MULTIFAMILY BUILDING TO NOT ACHIEVE ANY OF THAT.

SO IT IS REALLY A SITE DESIGN ISSUE ON EACH INDIVIDUAL APPLICATION THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, IF YOU'RE GOING TO CALL OUT ONE PARTICULAR USE, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU CALL OUT A BROAD RANGE OF USES THAT COULD BE INCOMPATIBLE, UH, AT THAT LOCATION.

UM, THE SECOND ITEM IS REMOVAL OF STREET CONNECTIONS TO PROTON AND HORNET.

SO, UM, THAT ONE, UM, HAS BEEN DISCUSSED A LOT AND IT'S CERTAINLY, UH, A REASONABLE CONSIDERATION.

UM, WHAT I WOULD SHARE IS THAT IT REMOVING THAT CONNECTION FROM THE PLAN IS IN LINE WITH THE PLANS AND INTENT OF RESPECTING EXISTING BUSINESSES THAT ARE SUSTAINING AND THRIVING.

MY ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ASK OF THE COMMISSION AND ULTIMATELY THE COUNCIL IS THAT WE DON'T GET SOME BOX.

AND FROM A POLICY STANDPOINT, PARTICULARLY SINCE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT LAND USES ARE GOING TO OCCUR IN THE FUTURE, THAT THAT STREET CONNECTION IS AUTOMATICALLY INCOMPATIBLE FROM A PUBLIC POLICY STANDPOINT, JUST AT A HIGH LEVEL, IT'S GENERALLY A GOOD POLICY TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO TRAFFIC SIGNALS.

THERE'S A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT PROTONS, IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT IN A WAY THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH PROTON DRIVE, WHERE IT'S CREATING CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC AND CREATING CONFLICT WITH EXISTING USE, YOU SHOULD NOT PROVIDE THAT CONNECTION.

BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE COMPETITIVELY, IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BECAUSE ULTIMATELY IT CAN PROVIDE SOMEONE WITH A SAFER CONNECTION WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM THIS PLAN AS LONG AS IT IS UNDERSTOOD THROUGH THIS POLICY, THAT STAFF COMMISSION AND COUNCIL HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONSIDER THAT THOUGHTFULLY.

BUT WHILE LOOKING THROUGH THE EDIT THROUGH THE LENS OF PREVENTING CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC, UM, THE SECOND ITEM, UM, RELATES TO, UM, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HORNET ROAD AND PROTON ROAD.

SO THERE'S VEHICLE CONNECTIONS, UM, AS WELL AS, UH, TRAIL CONNECTIONS, THE VEHICLE CONNECTIONS, UH, THE FEEDBACK I JUST PROVIDED WOULD APPLY.

IT IS NOT CRITICAL THAT IT IS

[00:30:01]

IN THE PLAN.

NOW, THE OFFICES THAT ARE IN THAT BLOCK OF DEVELOPMENT ARE BEING, UH, THEY'RE SEEING REINVESTMENT AND THEY'RE BEING REVITALIZED.

IT'S NOT GOING TO SEE TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE ANYTIME SOON, BUT HAVING THE CAPABILITY TO LOOK AT THAT THOUGHTFULLY, IF THAT CHANGE OCCURS IS VERY IMPORTANT, THE TRAIL AND BUFFER BETWEEN PROTON AND HORNET ROAD.

I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN.

AND AS LONG AS THAT OFFICE DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO OPERATE IN THE WAY IT DOES, THAT'S NEVER GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED.

IF WE TAKE THAT OUT OF OUR POLICY TOOLKIT AND LEAVE IT OFF THE MAP, IF UNEXPECTED TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE OCCURS IN THAT AREA, WE WON'T HAVE THAT LEVERAGE TO REQUIRE SOME FORM OF OPEN SPACE, WHETHER IT BE AT THAT LOCATION OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO I WOULD RECOMMEND, AND CURT LEAVING THAT IN ACKNOWLEDGING IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON.

AND IF THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO DO IT A BETTER WAY TO TREAT IT IN THE FUTURE, IF CHANGE OCCURS, WE WORK THROUGH THAT WHEN WE HAVE AN ACTUAL PROJECT, I CAN SAY, UM, I WOULD KNOW THAT THERE'S ALSO LANGUAGE ON THE FRAMEWORK PLAN MAP THAT SPEAKS TO THOSE STREETS, BEING ILLUSTRATIVE IN NATURE AND DISCOURAGING CUT-THROUGH TRAFFICS, AND, UH, NOT KNOWING THE TRUE LOCATION AND NATURE OF THE STREETS UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT USES ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO DEVELOP IN THIS AREA.

SO STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST, UH, OF THIS STUDY.

UM, IT'S NOT A PERFECT STUDY.

UM, PARTICULARLY IN THESE TIMES, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET CONSENSUS ON MANY THINGS.

WE DID NOT GET CONSENSUS ON EVERYTHING WITH REGARDS TO THIS PROJECT, BUT WE GOT CONSENSUS ON A LOT, AND IT WAS A VERY, VERY VALUABLE DISCOURSE FOR THE REVIEW.

AND WE HAVE MORE TOOLS TO MORE THOUGHTFULLY CONSIDER REDEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA.

THIS STUDY IS SEPARATE FROM THE NEXT ITEM.

THAT MEANS THE STAND ON ITS MERIT.

WE NEED THESE TOOLS REGARDLESS OF HOW THE NEXT ITEM WORKS OUT.

SO THE COMMITTEE PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS, AND IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE, CERTAINLY THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO ADDRESS THOSE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

UH, COMMISSIONER ZANDER, ANY QUESTIONS FOR CAMP? JUST A COMMENT.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE, YOU WENT ABOUT THIS AREA OF TOWN, THOROUGH, DETAILED, VERY, VERY DETAILED.

UM, I LOVE A LOT OF WHAT WAS BROUGHT OUT, UM, THE, THE TRAILS.

UM, I JUST THANK EVERYONE.

I HAVE A COMMENT AS WELL, AND I'M GOING TO REITERATE, LIKE CHRIS SAID, I THINK I SAID THIS AT OUR LAST MEETING.

AND I SAID THIS IN THE WORK SESSION, WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM IN THE COMMUNITY, THE STAFF COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT, UH, SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT TO COME UP WITH A GOOD PLAN.

UH, AND I'LL REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID, KIM, THE PLAN IS NOT PERFECT AND WE CAN PUT A PERIOD THERE.

AND I THINK THAT WOULD PROBABLY SAY AT ALL, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THESE PLANS CAN ACCOMMODATE EVERYTHING, EVERY NUANCE, EVERYTHING THAT MIGHT OCCUR.

I THINK YOU'VE GOT A BROADER ISSUE.

THERE'S ROOM TO MANEUVER THERE'S ROOM TO ADD.

WE CAN DELETE IF WE LIKE, I THINK YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB.

UH, CAN WE GO BACK TO THE, I THINK IT WAS THE PREVIOUS SLIDE ON FINANCE ON THE SECOND ITEM THERE ABOUT THE REMOVAL OF THE STREET CONNECTIONS DO, UM, PROTON AND HORNET.

UM, FIRST MAYBE ELABORATE ON THAT.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, I THINK I'M AGREEING THAT IT DOES SUPPORT IF YOU WERE READING THOSE THAT, THAT GOES A LONG WITHIN 10 OF THAT STEADY TO SUPPORT EXISTING BUSINESSES.

I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, DO YOU FEEL LIKE IF THOSE WERE REMOVED, THAT DEPICTION WAS REMOVED, THAT IT WOULD MAKE IT A BETTER STUDY? IT WOULD BE.

CAN THE STUDY TAKE AWAY

[00:35:01]

SOME OF THE FLEXIBILITY THAT WAS, UM, A BIG, UH, INTENT OF HAVING, I THINK THE, I THINK THE STUDY FUNCTIONS WELL AS IT IS, BUT IT CAN BE CHALLENGING SOMETIMES FOR THE INTENT OF THE STUDY TO BE INTERPRETED.

IT'S A LONG DOCUMENT.

THIS IS A SNAPSHOT IMAGE FROM DOCUMENT.

SO I THINK IT CAN BE ACHIEVED EITHER WAY.

IF YOU REMOVE THOSE CONNECTIONS FROM THIS PARTICULAR GRAPHIC, I THINK IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO ADD SOME TEXTS THAT DEFINES THE INTENSE THAT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THOSE SHOULDN'T BE THOUGHTFULLY CONSIDERED IN THE FUTURE.

IF IT MAKES SENSE FOR THE COMMUNITY, KNOWING, GOING, UH, GOING BACK TO OUR WORKS ISSUE COMMENTS.

AND WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IN A FEW PLACES, MAYBE ADDING A LANGUAGE THAT DESCRIBES THE REPORT, UM, AS MORE OF A, OF A GUIDELINE.

UM, SO WOULD THAT NOT TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT? WOULD THAT NOT APPLY TO THIS AND BE EFFECTIVE HERE? IT DOES, BUT THAT CAN SOMETIMES BE SORRY, CHALLENGED.

THAT CAN SOMETIMES BE A VERY NUANCED ISSUE.

UM, I, I WOULD LIKE TO VERY CLEARLY STATE OUT THAT ONE, IT'S A POLICY AND A GUIDELINE, BUT THAT MAIN INTENT IS BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A LINE DRAWN THERE THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE CONSIDERING THINGS THAT CAN IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND MOBILITY OF OUR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK.

I THINK AT THE HEART OF THIS IS, AS BOB SAID, THIS IS A GUIDANCE ONLY.

THIS IS NOT NONE OF THIS IS IN STONE, BUT I BELIEVE IF YOU TAKE IT OUT OF CONTEXT, IT'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT HARDER TIME BEING CONSIDERED IN A FUTURE DAY IN THERE.

AND PEOPLE SEE IT, IT WILL FORCE DEBATE ON THE MERITS OF WHAT YOU WHAT'S IN THE STUDY.

SO I, FOR ONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE STUDY REMAIN AS IS OUTLINED JUST GENERAL GUIDANCE OF IN INSIDE THE TRACK, UH, CONNECTIONS.

UM, AND IF, AND WHEN THERE COMES A NEED TO BEGIN TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION, THEN SOMEONE CAN TURN THE PAGE.

BUT AS BOB SAID, WE'VE GOT 40 PEOPLE OR SO THAT WORKED ON THIS DAY, HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL CONVENE IN THE FUTURE TO RE-LOOK AT A STREET ON WHETHER OR NOT IT SHOULD BE IN MORE DIFFICULT.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S, IT'S NOT THERE TO EVEN TALK ABOUT IT FOR ONE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THAT, BUT AS WE'RE TALKING IN THE WORK SESSION, I THINK BELIEVE THE WORDS MAJOR AND MINOR ARE VERY MISLEADING AND I WOULD MAKE A POINT TO CHANGE, CHANGE THAT TERMINOLOGY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR KEN? ALL RIGHT.

NORMALLY AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WELL, WE WILL NOW OPEN THE MEETING FOR THE PUBLIC PORTION OF MEETING.

AND NORMALLY AT THIS TIME WE WOULD HAVE THE APPLICANT, UH, PROVIDE COMMENTS, BUT I BELIEVE THEY HAVE, THEN HAS ALREADY PROVIDED THEIR COMMENTS BEING THAT THIS AT THE TOWN.

SO, UH, WE WILL THEN IMMEDIATELY GO INTO, UM, THOSE WHO WISH TO SPEAK.

UH, SO LET ME JUST, I'M JUST, I HAVE GRABBED THE ONES WHO WANTED TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

THAT'S THE ITEM NUMBER THREE AND, UM, FOR THE RECORD.

SO VIRGINIA WAY, TENA, I BELIEVE, DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT IS OPPOSED, UH, TO ITEM THREE, KATHY MOORE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK TO SHE AS OPPOSED TO ITEM NUMBER THREE.

UM, MARLON WILSON DOES WISH TO SPEAK.

IT DIDN'T INDICATE WHETHER IT WAS IN FAVOR OR MARLIN.

YOU'VE GOT THE PODIUM.

MY NAME IS MARLON WILLISON.

I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF THE TOWNHOMES OF ADDISON SINCE 1998.

AND MY ADDRESS IS 4,100 JUILLIARD DROP, UM, UH, COMMISSIONERS, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT, KENT SMITH, UH, TOWN STAFF, AND MANY RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT OUR, OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, COMMISSIONER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE CAN THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.

AND I APPRECIATE, UH, UH, RESIDENTS KAREN SO MUCH TO BE HERE.

UM, I WANT TO START WITH

[00:40:01]

THANKING OUR COMMITTEE THAT WORKED TIRELESSLY A LOT OF, A LOT OF MEETINGS, UH, TO GET US TO THIS POINT IN THE DRAFT AND ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL THE CITIZENS WHO PROVIDED SO MUCH GREAT INPUT.

UM, THE OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY IS, UH, UH, SOMEWHAT I'VE SAT IN YOUR SEAT, UH, ON THE CITY COUNCIL LEVEL, VERY SIMILAR.

AND WHAT I WOULD SAY ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS TO DO IS MAKE EVEN THE MOST MINOR EDIT TO SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN PUT FORTH IN FRONT OF YOU.

BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO TONIGHT.

UM, I, I'VE HAD A LOT OF TIME TO REVIEW THE STUDY AND I AGREE.

I THINK IT'S GREAT.

AND I AGREE WITH ABOUT 99% OF IT, BUT I DON'T AGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE, UH, DETAIL KNOW.

I WANT TO SHARE A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS WITH YOU ON THESE, UM, MAJOR NEW VEHICLES, CONNECTIONS, WHETHER YOU USE THE WORD MAJOR, OR YOU CHANGE THAT WORD.

BASICALLY, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT VEHICLES, STREETS.

UH, IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE 30 OF THE STUDY, UM, I WOULD PLEASE ASK YOU TO DO THAT THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THAT ON THE, UH, THE BOTTOM PART OF THAT PAGE, YOU'LL, YOU'LL SEE A STREET CUTTING THROUGH TO PORN AT ROADS.

AND ONE OF THE THOUGHTS I HAD WAS IF THAT STREETS ALLOWED, WHAT IS THE TRAFFIC GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN THE, WHEN THE, UH, THE, THE PARENTS THAT ARE, THAT ARE, WHETHER THEY'RE DROPPING THEIR KIDS OFF OR THEY'RE PICKING THEM OFF, PICKING THEM UP EITHER WAY, THERE IS ALREADY A STREETLIGHT THERE AT, AT, UH, CORNETT ROAD AND MIDWAY ROAD.

SO IF YOU OPEN THAT UP, UH, NO DOUBT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TRAVERSE UP AND DOWN THROUGH THAT, UM, AND CREATE A LOT OF TRAFFIC PROBLEMS THROUGH OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

UM, ANOTHER CONCERN I HAVE AND, AND, AND THE CONCERN I HAVE IS CONNECTED TO THE FUTURE EMILY TREEHOUSE.

UM, SO THAT IS PROPOSED JUST NORTH OF THE REDDING TRAIL THERE.

AND BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A MAJOR, UH, CONNECTION VEHICLE OR VEHICULAR CONNECTION IT'S CUTTING THROUGH ALREADY TRAIL.

UM, CUTTING THROUGH WITH RIGHT NOW IS COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT.

AND, AND, UH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLY 650 RESIDENTS LIVING AT THE AMPLY TREEHOUSE DEVELOPMENT, WHETHER THEY'RE OWNERS OR, OR RENTERS, AND, AND EVEN MORE THAT MIGHT BE, UH, MIGHT BE USERS OF THE RETAIL.

SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A HECK OF A LOT OF, UH, PEOPLE THAT WOULD USE THAT CUT THROUGH TO COME DOWN TO PROTON AND NO DOUBT CUT THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND FROM WHAT I'VE GATHERED THE BOTTOM, THE BOTTOM LINE OF THAT IS, IS WE WERE DOING THAT TO HELP PEOPLE, THOSE, THOSE PEOPLE THAT WOULD WANT TO GO MIDWAY NORTH.

UM, AND I THINK THAT WOULD HELP SOME PEOPLE, BUT IT WOULD HURT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC GETTING OVER TO BELTLINE AND GETTING OVER TO A MARSH.

SO I THINK, I THINK A LOT BETTER SOLUTION WOULD BE TO CONSIDER A, A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, UM, OFF OF MIDWAY WHERE THIS FAMILY TREE HOUSE IS GOING TO GO AND, AND PUT IT RIGHT THERE WITH, UH, ACROSS THE STREET FROM, UH, BELLWOOD, UH, PARKWAY, UH, FARMER'S BRANCH.

I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE A HECK OF A LOT MORE SENSE THAN HAVING ALL THE CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC.

UM, THE, THE OTHER THOUGHT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU IS, AGAIN, I LIVE AT, UM, TOWNHOMES OF ADDISON AND, UH, WE SHARED THE COMMUNITY WITH LAVATA CONDOMINIUMS. AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS, UH, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT HERE, UM, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL IT'S SMALL, BUT WE'RE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT.

UM, AND, AND WE HAVE GOT A WALL THAT WE, THAT SEPARATES, UH, OUR TOWNHOME AND CONDOMINIUM COMMUNITY AT SOME 200 RESIDENTS.

UM, AND THAT WAS NOT OWNED BY US.

IT'S OWNED BY, UH, MIDWAY ADRIAN'S THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTLY TO THE WEST.

AND, UH, MOST PARTS OF THAT WALL ARE, IT'S NOT THAT TALL.

IT'S ABOUT, UH, FOUR, FOUR FEET TO, UH, MAYBE FIVE AND A HALF FEET FOR 60% OF THAT WALL.

SO IN THE CURRENT CONDITION, WE'VE GOT COMMERCIAL TENANTS THAT ARE THERE ON THE WEEKEND, UH, THAT NOT THERE ON THE WEEKEND, AND THEY'RE NOT THERE AT NIGHT, SO WE DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE, BUT IF YOU PUT THIS RESIDENTIAL TRANSITION TOOL, CAUSE YOU WANT, UH, UH, YOU WANT THAT IN YOUR TOOLBOX, WHAT I WOULD, WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IF YOU'RE GONNA, IF WE'RE GONNA GET TO THAT POINT, WE SURE WOULD LOVE A NICE WALL BUFFER AS PART OF THAT SIMILAR, UM, TO WHAT, UH, WHAT TOWN LAKE HAS WE RECALL THE, THE, UM, THE ADDISON RESERVED DEVELOPMENT BY COBALT, THAT WAS NOT

[00:45:01]

AN ISSUE.

AND THE REASON IT WASN'T AN ISSUE IS BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT A TALL WALL.

SO THESE ARE THINGS I WISH THE COMMISSIONERS WOULD CONSIDER TONIGHT.

UH, DAVID COLLINS WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.

REMIND AGAIN, LET'S TRY TO KEEP THIS TO THREE MINUTES OR LESS PEOPLE.

GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME'S DAVE COLLINS.

I LIVE AT 1 4, 6, 6, 8 WAYSIDE COURT.

UH, UNLIKE MARLIN, I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE FOUR YEARS.

SO, UM, I THINK WE GET ALL ACKNOWLEDGED THAT A LOT OF WORK IN THIS PROCESS.

I'M NOT IN ANY WAY DIMINISHING THAT, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE SOME FUNDAMENTAL FACTS.

ABSENT HAS THE HIGHEST RATIO OF APARTMENTS TO HOMES.

ANY CITY IN TEXAS, ARGUABLY IN THE COUNTRY, RESIDENTS REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR MORATORIUM ON APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT.

IN FACT, IN 2017, THERE WAS A RESOLUTION PASSED ACKNOWLEDGING THAT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE SAM'S CLUB COMMITTEE.

AT LEAST THE CITIZENS PORTION EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERN, DESIRE, ASPIRATIONAL GOAL, TO NOT HAVE MORE APARTMENTS, ALLIE WHO THE DEVELOPER IS STEPPING OUT OF THE BOX DAY ONE WITH A MASSIVE APARTMENT.

IT'S BOTH, IT'S KIND OF A COMMON I DID.

I PUT THREE AND FOUR.

TRY TO KEEP COMMENTS PERTINENT TO THE SAM STUDY BECAUSE, UM, WELL, I THINK IT'S HARD TO SEPARATE BECAUSE WELL SO I THINK WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS WE'RE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT APARTMENTS ARE AN ISSUE RIGHT OUT OF THE BLOCKS.

THE FIRST PROJECT IN SAMSUNG IS AN APARTMENT WHERE ROOT REPEATEDLY TOLD THE DEVELOPERS WON'T BUILD THESE SIMPLE HOMES IN ADDISON.

ONE OF THE REASONS IS COST.

I THINK GIVEN THE OVERALL DIRECTION, I'M CHALLENGING THE CITY TO REALLY LOOK AT CREATING INCENTIVE PROGRAMS, TO HELP ASSIST FEASIBLE DEVELOPERS MAKE THE COST EQUATION WORK UNTIL THAT TIME, I WOULD RECOMMEND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE, THE CITY COUNCIL, AND THE STAFF LISTEN TO THE CITIZENS OF ADDISON AND PUT A MORATORIUM ON REZONING FOR FUTURE APARTMENT UM, ONE OF THE TWO, EITHER CHRISTIAN AROUND WALNUT SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION TO, UH, THE BURKE FOR SMALLER PUSH TO SPEAK THREE OR FOUR, YOU DIDN'T GET FREE ONE BEFORE YOU WISH TO WAIT.

THE ONLY WAY I THINK WE, I THINK WE USE YOUR, FOR US TO KEEP TRACK.

UH, LIZ ALPHONSE WAS SPEAKING, DID INDICATE A SQUISHY SPEAK FOR HANDS.

DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK LIZ TWO, THREE OR FOUR? AND I'M SPEAKING TO THREE, BECAUSE THIS IS A LONG-TERM PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO ONLY AFFECT THE COMMUNITY FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS IN A 50 YEAR TIME FRAME, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU NEED TO LEAVE AS MANY OPTIONS OPEN AS POSSIBLE.

I'M COMING TO THIS FROM MANY YEARS, WORKING WITH REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS OF EVERY KIND FROM COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES TO CUSTOM BUILDERS AND VERY HIGH DOLLAR HOMES AND MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPERS.

ALSO WITH CONSIDERABLE EXPERIENCE WORKING BOTH WITH THE TOWN OF ADDISON AND WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS ON HOUSING ISSUES.

UH, I'M ALSO ONE OF THOSE AWFUL UNWELCOME APARTMENT RESIDENTS.

I'VE LIVED IN ADDISON FOR 20 YEARS IN THE APARTMENT.

I AM THERE AS MANY ARE

[00:50:01]

BY CHOICE.

NOT THAT WE COULD NOT AFFORD MANY KINDS OF FORD, MUCH FINER HOMES, BUT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOME.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE MISSING IN YOUR DISCUSSION OF OF SAYING NO APARTMENTS.

I THINK YOU WILL HEAR FROM EMILY IN THEIR DISCUSSION ABOUT THE INCOME LEVEL THAT THEY EXPECT TO HAVE AN APARTMENT A RESIDENT THEN IN ADOPT ITSELF SHOULD SHOW YOU THAT THE PEOPLE THAT CHOOSE TO LIVE IN APARTMENTS ARE NOT GOING TO GET EVER INTENTIONALLY DO ANYTHING THAT, THAT REMOVES YOUR RISK AFFECTS YOUR PROPERTY, BABY.

I ALSO COME FROM THIS FROM A SIX YEAR TERM ON THE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARD.

AND BELIEVE ME, I HAVE LOOKED AT PROPERTY APPRAISALS FOR A VERY LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

AND, UH, THINGS YOU'RE CONCERNED ARE, ARE NOT BASED ON REALITY.

I'LL PUT IT THAT WAY.

UM, BUT REALLY THE ISSUE IS THE FLEXIBILITY IN THE FUTURE.

YOU, YOU MAY WELL BE TYING THE HANDS OF THE TOWN AND AFFECTING ITS TAX BASE FOR YEARS TO COME.

AND THOSE ARE NOT DECISIONS THAT ANY OF US SHOULD MAKE CASUALLY.

SO PLEASE TAKE SOME INTERESTING CONCERN ON THIS.

OFFER THAT LANGUAGE TO COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.

AND PAUL WALDEN, UH, SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THREE OR FOUR.

I SPEAK TO BOTH, UM, WITH RESPECT TO ITEM THREE AND COUNCIL, EXCUSE ME, PAUL WALTON, 14, EIGHT, AND SIX FOR GRANT.

I SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS.

UM, I, I, AS A RESIDENT AT MIDWAY MEADOWS, UH, I AM EXTREMELY INVESTED IN HAVING FOOT THAT IS CALLED FOR HERE.

I THINK THAT, UH, INSURERS THAT MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS RESPECTED NO MATTER WHAT GOES IN HERE.

AND I THINK, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHAT MATTERS.

SO, UM, UH, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A VOTE THIS MORE THAT THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEMS? THERE'VE BEEN A NUMBER OF, UH, EMAILS SENT HIM, UM, THESE WILL BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE TOMORROW THAT JUST BRIEFLY, UH, FROM GINNY'S NEIMAN, UH, INDICATES THERE'S TOO MANY APARTMENTS, UM, IN ADDISON, UH, LESLIE FOUND ALSO ADDRESSED TO CUT THROUGH STREET FROM PROTON.

UH, DAN WARE, UM, BELIEVES THAT, UH, HE NEEDS MORE AMPLE, MORE TIME TO REVIEW THE STUDY.

UM, SO ALSO I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF THE NAME OF THE STUDY BEING SAM'S CLUB.

I THINK THERE WAS SOME CONSENSUS FOR THAT.

UM, THE, UH, UH, ALEXANDER GETS, UM, ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE CONNECTION FROM PRO JOHN, AS WELL AS SOME, UH, TRAFFIC ACROSS THE READING TRAIL THAT WAS INDICATED ON THE MAP.

AND THEN OF COURSE, MARLON ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE STUDY, WHICH UNION GRANTED IN HIS PRESENTATION, UH, THE EMAILS WILL BE ON, ON THE WEBSITE.

THERE WAS ALSO A, UM, UH, WHAT WAS CALLED SAM'S CLUB, SPECIAL AREAS, STUDY PUBLIC INPUT THAT I, I UNDERSTAND IT WAS PREPARED BY ONE OF 'EM.

IT WAS PREPARED, NOT PREPARED BY THE TOWN THROUGH, BY THE TOWN, BUT IT WAS PREPARED OR DISTRIBUTED BY HOMEOWNERS IN THE AREA.

THERE ARE ESSENTIALLY 15 SURVEYS, NEVER RETURNED, 14 ARE IN OPPOSITION, ONE WAS IN FAVOR, AND THESE WILL ALSO BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE TOMORROW.

UM, IF THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, UM, THEN, UH, WHILE YOUR EMOTION JUST ONE MINOR ITEM, I WOULD ADD DOESN'T WORK EITHER.

UM, I DID RECEIVE A LITTLE BIT OF FEEDBACK FROM ONE OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ON SOME WORDSMITHING, UM, FOR SOMETHING RELATED TO, UM, BELTWAY DRIVE.

UM, WE'LL, IT'S, IT DOESN'T IMPACT THE INTENT OF THAT STATEMENT, UM, FOR, UM, AS FAR AS WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO DO, UH, IN THE STUDY, BUT IT'S, IT'S MORE CLARIFYING LANGUAGE.

SO IF THIS MOVES FORWARD TO COUNCIL, WE WOULD

[00:55:01]

OKAY, THANK YOU.

UM, CLOSING THE PUBLIC PORTION OF ME.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? WAS THE SAM'S CLUB A STUDY OR TO STUDY UH, THERE IS NOT, YOU CAN JUST REFER TO IT AS THE SAME SCOPE, SPECIAL AREA STUDY.

I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS.

DO I HAVE SECOND, SECOND? WE HAVE A MOTION BY CHRIS AT THE SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED.

SAY NAY MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU FOLKS.

ALL RIGHT.

[4. Hold a Public Hearing, Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on a Recommendation regarding an Ordinance Rezoning a 13.78+/- Acre Property Located on the West Side of Midway Road, Approximately 1,000 Feet South of Beltway Drive and Immediately North of the Redding Trail Dog Park, from Planned Development District (PD) to a new Planned Development District (PD) to Allow for the Development of 405 Multifamily Dwelling Units with Permitted Ground Floor Retail, Restaurant, Office, Co-Working, and Live/Work Uses, 30 Townhome Fee Simple Lots, 14 Townhome Rental Dwelling Units, and Associated Public and Private Open Space and Common Areas, Through the Approval of Development Plans and Standards. Case 1851-Z/AMLI Midway. ]

NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS CASE 1 8 5 1 DASH Z ON THE MIDWAY HOLD, A PUBLIC HEARING OR SIN DISCUSS CONSIDER ACTION ON A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING ORDINANCE REZONING, THE 13.78 PLUS OR MINUS K PER PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF MIDWAY ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET SOUTH OF BELTWAY DRIVE, AND IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF WRITING TRAIL DOG PARK FROM THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PD TO A NEW LAND DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PD TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF 405 MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS WITH PERMANENT GROUND FLOOR RETAIL RESTAURANT, OFFICE CO-WORKING AND LIVING WORK USES CLARITY, TOWNHOME FEE, SIMPLE BOX 14, 10, AND HOME RENTAL UNITS AND ASSOCIATED PUBLIC OPEN SPACE AND COMMON AREAS THROUGH THE APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND STANDARDS.

CAN YOU GET A STAT REPORT? GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN, COMMISSIONERS KEN SCHMIDT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR THE TOWN OF ADDISON.

UH, SO, UH, WITH THIS REQUEST TO REZONE TO A NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TONIGHT, UH, THE APPLICANT IS ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER ACTION ON THE PROPOSED REZONING AND ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT PLANS, UH, FOR THIS, UH, 13.78 ACRE PROPERTY ON THE WEST SIDE OF MIDWAY ROAD, IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE READY TRIP, DOG PARTS.

UH, SO A LITTLE HISTORY ON THIS SITE, AND IT HAS MORE HISTORY THAN, THAN MOST SITES THAN THE ADDISON.

UM, THE TICK, A LITTLE DIGGING FOR ME, BUT, UM, THE ORIGIN OF THE SITE DATES BACK TO THE 1930S, UM, THERE IS A, UH, HOMESTEAD, UH, AT THE CORE OF THIS SITE, UM, UH, UH, 5,700 SQUARE FOOT HOME, UH, THAT AT ONE POINT WAS OWNED, UH, BUT NEVER OCCUPIED BY AUDIE MURPHY AS A FORMER INFANTRY OFFICER ARMY THAT THE TUGS AT THE HEARTSTRINGS A LITTLE BIT, BUT THE, A GOOD, UH, INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY THERE.

UM, IT WAS ALSO HOME FOR SOME TIME TO DEBBIE'S RESTAURANT.

UM, IT'S HAS BEEN VACANT FOR SOME TIME THOUGH, LIKE, UH, MANY OF THE CONDITIONS YOU SEE ON THIS PROPERTY OFFICE IN THE PARK, UM, IT'S VACANCY IT'S LED TO SOME DETERIORATION OF THAT BUILDING.

UM, IN 1978, UH, THIS SITE WAS REZONED TO PD, UH, TO FACILITATE INFILL DEVELOPMENT AROUND THAT HUMBLING, UH, THAT RESULTED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SIX TWO-STORY OFFICE BUILDINGS COMPRISING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OFFICE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND 180,000 SQUARE FEET.

UM, ALL OF THOSE BUILDINGS ARE IN USE TODAY, BUT AS WE CAN SEE, WHEN WE COME TO THIS LOCATION FOR MEETINGS AT THE TREE HOUSE OR OTHER EVENTS, UM, THE OCCUPANCY IS, IS LOWER.

AND YOU SEE THAT, UM, UH, IN THIS BUILDING AS WELL, THE TOWN DOES LEASE SPACE IN THIS BUILDING, UH, FOR THE, UH, ADDISON TREE HOUSE THAT OUR BUSINESS INCUBATOR OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ALSO, UH, OPTIMIZE THIS BUILDING AS WELL.

UM, THE OTHER PROPERTY THAT'S AN OPPONENT OF THE SUMMING REQUEST IS THE FORMER ADDISON EVENT CENTER IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH.

SO THIS IS A 2.39 ACRE SITE.

IT WAS, UM, PD IN 1979, UH, FORMER, UH, HOMESTEAD OF THE MCCUTCHEON FAMILY.

UM, AND THE BUILDING THAT EXISTS THERE NOW IS A VERY LARGE, UM, UH, EVENT SPACE.

IT'S A 14,000 SQUARE FEET, UH, PREVIOUSLY WAS USED FOR RESTAURANTS THAT HAD ONE NOTABLE RESTAURANT CONCEPT THAT NEVER CAME TO FRUITION, UH, UH, DEEMED, UH, UH, AFTER THE NINETIES COWBOYS SWITZER IN GALLONS.

UM, BUT,

[01:00:01]

UH, OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, UH, IT'S BEEN VACANT.

UH, THE EXTERIOR CONDITIONS OF THAT BUILDING, THERE ARE DETERIORATING.

THE SITE IMPROVEMENTS WILL ALSO INTERIOR AS WELL.

UH, SO NOW WE HAVE A REQUEST TO REZONE BY AMYLOID RESIDENTIAL, UH, TO SUPPORT MIXED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN, UH, COMPRISES TWO MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS.

THE FIRST BUILDING IS CENTRAL TO THE SITE.

UH, IT IS A, UH, BUILDING THAT, UM, AT ITS EASTERN FRONTAGE, IT IS A FIVE STORY BUILDING, UH, WITH, UH, GROUND FLOOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES, UH, AT THE PORTION OF THE BUILDING THAT FRONTS MIDWAY, UH, AND THEN AS IT TRANSITIONS, UH, TO THE MIDPOINT OF THE BUILDING MOVING WEST, THAT TRANSITIONS TO A FOUR STORY BUILDING, UM, THAT INCLUDES A 367 MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS, UH, FOR LIVE WORK UNITS, UH, AND 7,000 SQUARE FEET OF GROUND FLOOR SPACE.

UM, AT THE MIDWAY OF FRONTAGE TO SUPPORT A RANGE OF NON-RESIDENTIAL USES WHETHER THAT BE OFFICE RETAIL CO-WORKING OR A RESTAURANT.

UM, ALSO WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, IT HAS A THREE STORY.

UM, MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING, UH, GENTLEMEN LOCATED WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, UH, THAT BUILDING, UH, WE'LL HAVE, UH, UH, INDIVIDUAL GARAGES AT THE GROUND FLOOR FOR 13 TENANTS.

UM, AND THEN IT HAS THREE STORIES, 38 FEET IN HEIGHT, UH, AND THEN ALSO HAS AN INTERIOR ELEVATOR AND, UH, SURFACE PARKING IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO IT, UM, AT THE WESTERN EDGE OF THIS PROJECT, UH, THERE IS A ROW OF FI SYMBOL TOWNHOMES.

UH, THOSE THERE THREE STORIES IN HEIGHT, THEY'RE ORIENTED WEST TOWARDS, UH, THAT GREEN BUFFER AREA THAT YOU SEE.

UH, AND THEN THE GARAGE IS ORIENTED, UH, TO THE EAST, TOWARDS THE MULTI-FAMILY BUILDINGS.

AS YOU WRAP THE CORNER OF THAT GREEN BUFFER, YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL FEE, SIMPLE TOWN IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO TOWN LAKE.

UH, THOSE ONCE AGAIN, FRONT TOWARDS THE BUFFER, UH, AND THEN BEHIND THOSE DECENT TOWNS, YOU HAVE 14, THREE STORY RENTAL TOWNHOMES THAT GREEN BUFFER THAT YOU SEE AT THE WESTERN EDGE REPRESENTS THREE ACRES OF PUBLIC PARK PLAN TO BE DEDICATED TO THE TOWN, FOLLOWING AN IMPROVEMENT BY THE DEVELOPER THAT WOULD INCLUDE INSTALLATION OF A 10 FOOT TRAIL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TOWN'S TRAIL MASTER PLAN, UH, SUBSTANTIAL LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, UH, PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES, PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING, UH, ENHANCEMENTS TO THE DOG PARK TO HAVE A SEATING AREA, AND THEN ALSO, UH, VARIOUS PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONS.

UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT PUBLIC OPEN SPACE, THIS SITE IS UNIQUE AND THAT IT HAS A LOT MORE LANDSCAPE AREA THAN A TYPICAL CURB AND MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS THAT PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL 1.93 ACRES OF PRIVATE LANDSCAPE AREA.

AND A 0.4 ACRES OF THAT IS CONSOLIDATED IN THREE EXTERIOR COURTYARDS.

UH, TYPICALLY WHAT WE SEE WITH NEWER MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT NOW IS A LOT OF THAT PRIVATE OPEN SPACES INTERIOR TO THE BUILDINGS AND THE FACT THAT IT IS EXTERIOR AND IT'S USABLE.

IT'S, UH, CERTAINLY IN BENEFIT.

UH, IT HAS, UH, GIVEN, UH, THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT HERE.

UH, IT HAS A SUBSTANTIAL PARKING GARAGE, UH, PROVIDING FOR 563 OFF STREET PARKING SPACES, AND THEN IT PROVIDES FOR SURFACE PARKING AND ON-STREET, UH, CURT PARKING, UH, TO ACCOUNT FOR 773 TOTAL PARKING SPACES IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

UM, WITH THIS PROPOSAL, THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO PROPOSED A PHASING PLAN.

UH, PHASE ONE IS WHAT YOU SEE COLORED IN GREEN.

THAT INCLUDES ALL OF THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND PRIVATE INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH WOULD, UM, OCCUR AND BEING INSTALLED FIRST.

AND THEN ALSO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE, UH, FOUR TO FIVE STORY, UH, MULTIFAMILY RAPID BUILDING, UH, PHASE TWO WOULD INCLUDE THE 14 RENTAL TOWNHOME UNITS THAT YOU SEE TO THE NORTH OF THE SITES CLOSEST TO MIDWAY ROAD.

AND THEN PHASE THREE IS THE, UH, AT THE SOUTHERN LIMIT OF THE SITE, 34 UNIT THREE STORY MULTIFAMILY BUILDING.

THE FOURTH PHASE IS THE FEE SIMPLE TOWNHOMES.

THE DEVELOPER ON THE APPLICANT WILL EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS THE FOURTH PHASE.

UM, BUT AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT, A CONSIDERATION IS ENSURING THAT THE, UH, IF THIS WERE TO BE APPROVED, THAT THERE'S PERFORMANCE STANDARDS TO ENSURE THAT THAT VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE PROJECT GETS CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMITMENTS

[01:05:01]

THAT THE DEVELOPER IS MAKING HERE.

UH, SO WITH THE PARKING, UH, WE COVERED THE OVERALL, UH, COUNT, UH, OTHER THINGS TO HIGHLIGHT THERE.

ALL OF THE TOWNHOMES HAVE TWO GARAGE PARKING SPACES OF BOTH THE FEASIBLE AND THE RENTAL, AND THEN ALSO DEDICATED GUEST PARKING SPACE.

AND THEN JUST ADD A HALF A SPACE PER UNIT FOR EACH OF THOSE TOWNHOMES CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WAS PERMITTED FOR COBALT HOMES.

UH, THE DEVELOPERS ALSO RESERVE SPACES FOR THE DOG PARK, UH, PATRONS, AND ALSO ALLOW THEM TO USE ANY UNRESTRICTED, UM, CURRENT PARKING SPACE, UH, THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

UM, THE OPEN SPACE, AS WE NOTED, IT'S A THREE ACRE DEDICATION, MUCH MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN YOU SEE WITH A PROJECT OF THIS NATURE.

UH, SO HAS SOME VALUE THERE.

CERTAINLY THEN IT DOES IMPLEMENT A KEY COMPONENT OF OUR TRAIL MASTER PLAN, AS WELL AS THE SAM'S CLUB STUDY WITH THAT 10 FOOT TRAIL.

UH, SO THE FACADE DESIGN FOR THE MULTIFAMILY, YOU SEE THE, UH, SEVERAL OF THE ELEVATIONS HERE THAT TOP ELEVATION IS THE MIDWAY ROAD, UH, FACING FRONTAGE.

SO THAT IS THE FIVE STORY, UM, COMPONENT OF THAT FACADE THAT ACHIEVES A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 67 FEET.

AND THEN IT HAS, UH, VARIOUS COMMERCIAL SPACES, UH, ARTICULATED AND DEFINED AT THE GROUND FLOOR AND ASSOCIATED PARKING TO SUPPORT THOSE COMMERCIAL SPACES, UM, THROUGHOUT THE FACADE, UH, THERE ARE, UH, PROJECTED BALCONIES AND RECESS BALCONIES, UM, AT, UM, UH, THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

THERE ARE CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS, UH, ADJACENT TO THE BUFFER WHERE THEY LIMITED SOME OF THOSE, UH, BALCONIES.

AND THEN ALSO YOU SEE AT THE, UH, FRONT FACADE, THERE IS A DEDICATED COMMON, UH, FIFTH FLOOR AMENITY, UM, UH, A, A LARGER RECESS PATIO.

UM, THAT BOTTOM IMAGE IS THE THREE-STORY MULTIFAMILY BUILDING, UM, THAT IS, UH, CONSISTENT IN MATERIAL AND CHARACTER, UH, WITH THE, UH, FOUR TO FIVE STORY BUILDING.

ONE THING TO KNOW BOTH OF THOSE BUILDINGS, THEY BOTH ACHIEVE, UH, 90% AMAZING, VERY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU'D SEE, UH, IN LIKE THE EDISON CIRCLE DEVELOPMENT, WHERE WE HAVE OUR HIGHEST MASONRY STANDARDS.

HERE ARE THE TOWNHOME FACADES.

THE, UH, IMAGE ON TOP IS THE SIMPLE TOWNHOME, UH, THAT ALSO ACHIEVES A 90%, UM, MASONRY, UH, YOU HAVE A GOOD WINDOW COVERAGE, UH, AT THE FRONT FACADE AND A KEY ELEMENT THAT THE APPLICANT PROPOSED IN ORDER TO ENSURE PRIVACY, UH, FOR THOSE UNITS THAT FACE THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.

THEY DO HAVE OUTDOOR AMENITY AREAS AT THE THIRD FLOOR OF THOSE BUILDINGS, BUT THEY'RE NOT ORIENTED TOWARDS THE BUFFER THEY'RE ORIENTED TOWARDS THE MULTIFAMILY.

SO THAT IS AN EFFORT TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS.

IN ADDITION TO THE AMPLE LANDSCAPE, THE BUFFERING THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING, UH, THE RENTAL TOWNHOMES, UM, THOSE DO NOT FACE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS THAT YOU HAVE SECOND FLOOR, UM, PROJECTED BALCONIES, AND THEY HAVE A SIMILAR MASONRY CONSTRUCTION, BUT SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DESIGN AND ARE SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN THE FEE SIMPLE TOWN HOMES.

UH, HERE'S THE PROPOSAL UNIT MIX, UM, FOR THE MULTIFAMILY COMPONENT, YOU HAVE A PRETTY BALANCED SUPPLY OF ONE, TWO AND THREE BEDROOM UNITS.

UH, THIS PROBABLY TILTS A LITTLE, UH, FURTHER TOWARDS THE TWO AND THREE BEDROOM UNITS.

AND YOU SEE, UH, COMPARED TO RECENT PROJECTS, UM, ALSO HAS FOUR LIVERS UNITS IN THE MULTIFAMILY FAMILY BUILDING, UH, THE AVERAGE UNIT SIZE FOR THE MULTIFAMILY UNITS.

IT'S 957 SQUARE FEET.

SO A LITTLE VERMEER, UM, THE PROPOSED UNIT SIZE FROM THE RENTAL TOWNHOME IS JUST UNDER 2000 AND THE FEE SIMPLE TOWN TOWNHOMES IS JUST UNDER 2,400, WHICH IS PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH SAYING THE COBALT ALUMS PROJECT.

UH, THEY PROPOSE TO HAVE, UH, THIS BUILDING LEAD CERTIFIED WITH GOLD, UH, BEING THE TARGETED LEVEL, UH, AND CONSISTENT WITH OTHER MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS THEY'RE PROVIDING FOR ONSITE RECYCLING, UH, AND HAVING HIGH QUALITY FINISHES.

CAN THEY INTERIOR THE UNITS, SOMETHING THAT THEY'VE PROPOSED THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN ADDRESSED THIS FREQUENTLY WITH ANY FORM OF DEVELOPMENT IN TOWN, UH, IS THE PROVISION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS.

UH, THEY'RE PROVIDING A MINIMUM OF 20 HOPE TO SEE THEM INSTALLING MORE, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING SECONDLY WE CAN DISCUSS.

UM, WHEN WE CONSIDER, UM, PROPOSALS FOR REZONING, UH, AS A TOWN, THE FIRST THING THAT WE MUST DO IS, UH, EVALUATE COMPLIANCE WITH, UH, TOWN REGULATIONS AND TALENT POLICIES.

SO FROM A POLICY

[01:10:01]

STANDPOINT, WE LOOK AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 2013 SPECIAL AT SAM'S CLUB, SPECIAL AREAS STUDY, WHICH IS BEING CONSIDERED PARALLEL TO THIS APPLICATION, OUR HOUSING POLICY, WHICH WE'VE DISCUSSED EARLIER TONIGHT, AND THEN ALSO OUR, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOCIAL AMENITY PLANS SUCH AS THE TRAIL MASTER PLAN AND THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND THE PARK MASTER PLAN.

SO WE'LL START WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO GOING BACK, AS FAR AS 2013, THE TOWN VERY STRONGLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT, UM, THESE TWO PROPERTIES WERE STRUGGLING AND REDEVELOPMENT WAS ENCOURAGED AND LIKELY, UM, USES THAT WERE MENTIONED AT THAT TIME INCLUDES SENIOR HOUSING TOWNHOMES AND EXCUSE.

UM, THIS AREA WAS ALSO HIGHLIGHTED AS AN AREA WHERE ADDITIONAL STUDY WAS NEEDED, AND THAT WAS THE BIRTH OF THE SAM'S CLUB STUFF, PAULA.

UM, SO, UM, THOSE STUDIES WE JUST DISCUSSED IN GREAT DETAIL, BUT THE INTENT FOR THE STUDIES GIVEN THAT IT'S A MUCH DEEPER DIVE ON THE FUTURE OF THESE AREAS, THOSE ARE GOING TO REALLY SERVE AS THE PREVAILING LAND USE POLICY FOR THIS AREA.

SO THIS IS DIFFICULT TO READ, BUT I I'M, UM, CARVED OUT, UM, A SERIES OF POLICY STATEMENTS, UM, AND PRINCIPLES THAT RELATE TO THIS PROPOSAL AS IT RELATES TO THE SAM'S CLUB STUDY.

I MENTIONED THIS WITH BNZ EARLIER, THERE ARE COMPELLING THINGS THAT YOU CAN PULL FROM THAT STUDY THAT SUPPORT THIS PROJECT, BUT THERE ARE ALSO COMPELLING THINGS THAT YOU CAN PULL FROM THAT STUDY THAT SUPPORT, UH, DENYING THIS PROPOSAL.

THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF A POLICY IN THAT IT'S NOT A, UM, UH JUST THE CHECKING OF THE BLOCK.

THEY CAN SHOW THAT THEY COMPLY WITH THIS STUDY, BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT GO INTO THE COMMISSION AND COUNSEL'S REVIEW.

SO AT A HIGH LEVEL, SUPPORTING NEW DEVELOPMENT, LIKE THE USE OF THIS CHARACTER AND BUFFERING THAT RESPECTS AROUND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF ANY CONSIDERATION HERE, UH, LOOKING AT DESIGN PRINCIPLES, IT STARTS TO TALK ABOUT SCALE AND BUILDING HEIGHTS, RESPECTING EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT ALSO RESPECTING MARKET POTENTIAL, UH, MAXIMIZING FLEXIBILITY FOR BUILDINGS ON MIDWAY.

THOSE ARE, THOSE CAN BE MORE PROMINENT BECAUSE THEY'RE IN GATEWAY AND THEN ACCOMMODATING A RANGE OF HOUSING OPTIONS, LIFESTYLE OPTIONS.

SO THAT INCLUDES SINGLE FAMILY OWNERSHIP, RENTAL, DIFFERENT HOUSING TYPES, NOT JUST A MONOCULTURE OF HOUSING AND THEN DEVELOPMENT FORM USE AND HOUSING MIX SPEAKS TO MEDIUM DENSITY, HORIZONTAL MIXED USE.

SO NOT A UNIFORM SCALE AND NOT A UNIFORM DENSITY AND NOT A UNIFORM BUILDING TYPE, OUR RANGE OF BUILDING TYPES OF HOUSING TYPES OF A TALL BUILDING LIKE THIS MAYBE APPROPRIATE, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE THE PREVAILING CHARACTER IN THE AREA.

AND SEVERAL, THE SINGLE STORIES PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE SINGLE STORY BUILDINGS PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE IN THE PREVAILING CHARACTER.

THAT AREA IS NOT A MONOCULTURE, UM, MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING TYPES.

WE DISCUSSED THAT IN THE SAM'S CLUB STUDY, THAT IS THE PERFORMER FOR HOUSING TYPE IN THAT STUDY, UM, WHERE HOUSING, UH, HIGHER DENSITY HOUSING TYPES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED ONE.

IT HAS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO, UH, IT NEEDS TO BE A CATALYST, UH, FOR THIS AREA AND ACHIEVING THE GOALS OF THE STUDY.

UM, SO TWO MAJOR ISSUES THAT REALLY RELATE TO THIS PROJECT CAME UP AS, UM, AREAS WHERE WE WERE VERY CHALLENGED TO ACHIEVE CONSENSUS ON THE SAM'S CLUB STUDY.

THE FIRST ONE IS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM AND THAT THAT'S HOUSING, VERY CHALLENGING POLICY DISCUSSION.

THE THING THAT ALWAYS CAME UP WITH A LOT OF THESE PROPERTIES IS THAT YOU HAVE, UM, A FAILED NON-RESIDENTIAL USE HERE AND WITH THE OFFICE, I MEAN, EVENT CENTER, WHAT USES ARE VIABLE TO REPLACE IT? IS IT LIKELY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE NEW OFFICE REPLACE THIS FAIL IN OFFICE? IS IT LIKELY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A RESIDENT OR A RESTAURANT REPLACE THIS FAILING EVENT SPACE? THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT THE COMMITTEE STRUGGLED WITH AND WHY WE ENDED UP WITH A FLEXIBLE MIX OF USES INSTEAD OF VERY DETAILED USE RECOMMENDATIONS, THE CONSIDERATION OF HIGHEST AND BEST USE AND SOMETHING THAT THE COMMITTEE STRUGGLED WITH, WHETHER MULTIFAMILY WAS A COMPONENT OF THAT.

IT COULD IT BE CONSIDERED ABOUT HIGHEST INVESTEES.

UM, SO VERY CHALLENGING DISCUSSION.

WE ULTIMATELY LANDED ON A RANGE OF USES AND HOUSING TYPES THAT COULD BE APPROPRIATE, BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS STUDY THAT SAYS MULTIFAMILY HOUSING ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE APPROVED, BUT IT CAN BE APPROPRIATE.

UM, HAVING

[01:15:01]

THAT MEDIAN DENSITY HORIZONTAL MIXED USE IS REALLY CRITICAL TO THAT CONSIDERATION.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE UNIFORM MULTIFAMILY HOUSING AND YOU ALLOW ROOM FOR SINGLE FAMILY OWNERSHIP MODELS AND TO ALSO BE DEVELOPED, UH, BUILDING SCALE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS DISCUSSED IN GREAT DETAIL AS WELL.

WHEN THE PLAN WAS VERY PRESCRIPTIVE.

UM, A KEY COMPONENT OF THAT DISCUSSION WAS BUILDINGS SHOULD BE ACHIEVE A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF FOUR STORIES AND MORE PROMINENT BUILDINGS SHOULD BE AT THE MIDWAY ROAD FRONTAGE.

AS THE PLAN BECAME LESS PRESCRIPTIVE, YOU CAN CONSENSUS CAN BE ACHIEVED ON A LOT OF DETAILS.

UM, THE PREVAILING FOCUS WAS ON ACHIEVING A GREAT RESIDENTIAL TRANSITION AREA AT THE WEST SIDE AND A GREAT FRONTAGE ZONE POLICY ON THE EAST SIDE.

UM, SO AS IT RELATES TO THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL, UM, BUILDING HEIGHT AND SCALE IS INTERESTING.

THEY TRANSITIONED FROM FIVE STORIES TO FOUR STORIES, AND THAT'S NOT REALLY BEING DONE BY ADDING ADDITIONAL HEIGHT AT THE FIVE STORY LEVEL, THE GRADE.

AND THE SITE IS A WAY IN A WAY TO IS LOWER AT MIDWAY ROAD.

AND THAT INCREASES AS YOU GO INTO THE SITE.

SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY ADDING A LEVEL AT THE BASE OF THE BUILDING.

THE ROOF LINE STAYS THE SAME FROM FOUR TO FIVE STORIES.

IT'S THE GROUND FLOOR OF THIS BUILDING THAT CHANGES.

SO IF YOU WERE TO GO TO A UNIFORM FOUR STORY BUILDING TO TRY TO MEET THAT INTENT, YOU'D BE LOOKING AT A LARGE RETAINING WALL, UM, FOR THIS, UH, FRONTAGE OR YOU'D BE LOOKING AT SIGNIFICANT EXCAVATION THAT WOULD CREATE OTHER ISSUES IN THE SITE.

UH, THE ADDISON HOUSING POLICY IS, IS THE NEXT THING THAT WE HAVE TO STRONGLY CONSIDER.

UH, THERE'S FIVE COMPONENTS AND THAT'S, UH, THE FIRST ONE IS THE ONE THAT REALLY STANDS OUT THE MOST AND IT, AND IT ADDRESSES THE, THE, UM, MOST DISCUSSED COMPONENT OF THAT POLICY.

AND THAT'S, UH, INCREASING THE PROPORTION OF FEE SIMPLE OWNERSHIP AND HAD AN ADDISON'S HOUSING MIX.

UM, OTHER CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE ENSURING A BEST FIT MIX OF USES AND HOUSING CHOICES, CREATING OR HANDS OR ENHANCING NEIGHBORHOODS AND EARN URBAN CHARACTER CONSIDERATION OF SENIOR HOUSING AND THE FIFTH AND PROBABLY MOST CHALLENGING THING TO CONSIDER IS, UH, CONSIDERATION OF EXCEPTIONAL PROJECTS THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH ELEMENTS OF THE POLICY.

SO AS IT RELATES TO THIS PARTICULAR CONSIDERATION, UM, THE PROPOSAL DOES NOT INCREASE THE PROPORTION OF FEE, SIMPLE OWNERSHIP, HOUSING, AND ADDISON.

THAT'S AN APPROPRIATE GOAL FOR THIS SITE AND IF IT COULD BE ACHIEVED AND SHOULD BE SUPPORTED, THE CHALLENGE IS YOU HAVE VERY HIGH REDEVELOPMENT COSTS.

THIS IS THE MOST INTENSELY DEVELOPED SITE, UH, IN THIS AREA BETWEEN THE READING TRAIL AND THE BELTWAY.

AND YOU ALSO HAVE WITH BETWEEN ADDISON GROVE AND COBALT HOMES, THE AVAILABILITY OF 165 FEE SIMPLE TOWN HOME, LOTS.

IF YOU WERE TO DEVELOP THIS WITH THE SIMPLE TOWNHOME HOMES, WE'D PROBABLY DOUBLE THAT NUMBER BECAUSE IT'S A VERY LARGE SITE.

SO THE MARKET TO DO THAT IS PROBABLY CHALLENGING.

AND ADDISON GROVE, YOU MAY HAVE BUILD OUT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD OCCURRING OVER THE NEXT FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS.

UH, SENIOR HOUSING WAS ANOTHER CONSIDERATION, UM, THAT ALSO WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SITE.

THIS IS A VERY LARGE SITE.

IT'S UNLIKELY THAT SENIOR HOUSING WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE DOWN THE WHOLE SITE.

IT COULD BE A COMPONENT OF THAT SITE, BUT UNLIKELY THAT A SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT WOULD BE ABLE TO REDEVELOP THIS ENTIRE SITE.

UM, THIS PROPOSAL DOES GREATLY ENHANCE WALKABILITY IN THIS AREA, AND IT PROVIDES FOR A UNIQUE MIX OF DENSITY AND HOUSING THAT IT'S, IT'S DIFFERENT FROM SAY A VITRUVIAN PROJECT OR OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED RECENTLY.

SO HERE'S SOME COMPARISONS.

THIS, UH, DENSITY THAT'S ACHIEVED THROUGH THIS MULTIFAMILY TOWNHOMES AND OPEN SPACE IS 33 UNITS PER ACRE.

AND IT PROVIDES FOR THREE ACRES OF PUBLIC OPEN SPACE.

ADDISON GROVE TO THE NORTH HAS 178 TOWNHOMES.

SO THEORETICALLY IT SHOULD BE A LOT LESS DENSE, BUT IT IS ONLY TWO UNITS PER ACRE, LESS DENSE THAN THIS PROJECT.

AND IT PROVIDES FOR HALF THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE.

THAT TRUE BEING A WEST, A VERY DENSE PROJECT, ALMOST AT 100 UNITS PER ACRE, AND BETWEEN THE THREE PHASES, JPI ADDED SOME HEIGHTS, SOMETHING THAT WE RECENTLY REVIEWED AND THEY ASKED CIRCLE AREA 90 UNITS PER ACRE, ONLY PROVIDING 4,000 SQUARE FEET OF PUBLIC OPEN SPACE.

THIS IS PROVIDING THREE ACRES, AMALIE CORUM, 70 UNITS PER ACRE, NO USABLE OPEN SPACE, BUT LOTS OF LANDSCAPE

[01:20:01]

AREA.

SO THIS DENSITY IS UNIQUE FOR THIS FORM OF DEVELOPMENT.

I'M LOOKING AT THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THE HOUSING MIX.

IF YOU THINK OF JUST THE SAM'S CLUB AREA, YOU CONSIDER THIS PROJECT CALLED BALD AND ADDISON GROVE.

IF THIS WERE ALL TO BE APPROVED AND BUILT OUT, YOU'D HAVE 25% OWNERSHIP AND 75% MULTIFAMILY.

THAT'S PRETTY SIMILAR TO CURRENT CONDITIONS IN ADDISON.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE AREA THAT IT'S FED OFF OF BELTWAY AND PROTON, YOU WOULD HAVE 62% OWNERSHIP AND 38% MULTIFAMILY RENTAL.

SO THIS IS A PRETTY DIVERSE AREA FROM A HOUSING THING.

THE NEXT THING WE WANT TO ADDRESS IS HOW THE PROJECT IS MITIGATING DEVELOPMENT EXPERTS WILL LOOK AT RESIDENTIAL COMPETITIVE BUILDING, UH, AT THE ADDISON TIMBERS BOUNDARY.

THEY'RE PROVIDING A 100 FOOT PUBLIC OPEN SPACE BUFFER, PLUS AN ADDITIONAL 13 FEET OF PRIVATE AREA AS A BUFFER, AND THEN FREE STORYTOWN HOMES ADJACENT TO THAT.

THE TOWNHOMES SCREEN, THE VIEW OF ADDISON TIMBERS FROM THE MULTIFAMILY TOWN LAKE.

THERE'S TWO TRANSITION AREAS, UM, ONE AT THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY.

UH, SO THERE ARE TOWNHOMES ORIENTED TO THE NORTH THAT PROVIDE FOR SOME SCREENING.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO MULTIFAMILY.

THEY CAN BE VIEWED ON THE FOUR-STORY COMPONENT OF THE MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING THAT CAN BE VIEWED FROM TOWN LAKE THAT HAS A LARGER SETBACK AT 151 FEET AND MORE ROOM FOR, UM, UH, NUTRIENTS, BUT ALSO PRESERVING EXISTING TREES.

AND I'M ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN LAKE MATCHES.

THE BUFFER CONDITION HAD HAD SOME TIMBERS THE NEXT THING WE LOOKED AT IS TRAFFIC.

AND SO, UH, NATURALLY WITH THIS PROJECT, THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS WAS REQUIRED.

UM, SO WHEN WE LOOK AT TAS, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PROPOSED CONDITION, WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD PRODUCE FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT, AND ALSO LOOK AT THE EXISTING CONDITION RIGHT NOW.

THE EXISTING CONDITION HAS A LOT OF FLOOR AREA, BUT NOT A LOT OF USE.

SO IF THIS WERE TO BREED, DEVELOP, YOU'D LIKELY SEE MORE TRAFFIC, BUT IF THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS THRIVING AND ALL OF THIS OFFICE SPACE WAS FULL AND THE EVENT CENTER WAS ACTIVE, THERE WOULD ACTUALLY BE MORE TRAFFIC GENERATED IN THE EXISTING CONDITION THAN THE PROPOSED CONDITION.

BUT IT'S NOT THAT WAY NOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE SUCH LOW USE OF THIS SITE.

UM, ALSO, UM, WITH THIS, UM, IN ANALYZING THE TRAFFIC, THE STUDY AND OUR ENGINEERS CONCURRED THAT, UM, UH, ACCESS TO THE SITE FROM MIDWAY DID NOT REQUIRE, UH, INCREASED FOR LEFT TURN LANES, RIGHT? TURN LANES.

THEY WERE SUFFICIENT CAPACITY AND MIDWAY ROAD WHERE MODIFICATIONS WERE NEEDED, WERE ONSITE.

SO THEY WERE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE FOR DEDICATED RIGHT AND LEFT TURN LANES, LEAVING THE SITE TILL, UH, ADDRESS PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC LEAVING THE SITE.

UH, THIS TIA DID NOT CONSIDER ANY CONNECTIONS TO THE NORTH AND DO NOT CONSIDER ANY CONNECTIONS TO THE SOUTH.

SO THE CONSIDERATION OF PROTON OR ANY CONNECTIONS NORTH WAS NOT IMPACTED BY THIS TIA OR IMPROVE CONDITIONS FOR TRAFFIC AND IS STANDING ALONE JUST ON THAT, THOSE TWO ACCESS POINTS TO MIDWAY, UM, TREE PRESERVATION AND MITIGATION, UH, THERE'S AMPLE TREE COVER ON THIS SITE.

UM, MANY OF THE TREES ARE HEALTHY.

SOME ARE NOT, UH, THE APPLICANT IS TRANSFORMING THE SITE.

SO THERE WILL BE IMPACTS THAT ROUGHLY HALF OF THE TREE COVER ON THE SITE WOULD BE REMOVED WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT HALF WOULD BE PRESERVED.

THAT'S GENERALLY MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT WE SEE FOR PROJECTS OF THIS TYPE.

THEY WOULD FULLY MITIGATE, UM, TREE REMOVAL ON SITE.

SO EVERY TREE THAT IS REMOVED, UH, SUFFICIENT, UH, TRUE CALIPER OF NUTRI WOULD BE, UH, PUT IN ITS PLACE.

UM, ALSO WITH THAT, THE APPLICANT IS CONSIDERING, UH, TRANSPLANTING TREES, UH, LARGER TREES TO, UH, INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BUFFER, UH, EARLY ON IN THE PROJECT.

UM, THIS SITE HAD SUFFICIENT UTILITIES.

IT HAS ACTUALLY LESS, UH, PAVEMENT THEN THE CURRENT CONDITIONS OF DRAINAGE CONDITIONS JUST UNDER THAT CONSIDERATION WOULD IMPROVE IN ADDITION TO THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY WOULD MAKE ALONG THOSE LINES.

UH, THE APPLICANT DID CONDUCT FOUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETINGS ABOUT 70 RESIDENTS PARTICIPATED AND PROVIDED FEEDBACK ON THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDINGS,

[01:25:01]

UH, CONCERNS ABOUT WHETHER THE TOWNHOMES WOULD BE DEVELOPED, HOW THEY WOULD BE MANAGED, TRAFFIC CONCERNS, OPERATION THE DOG PARK.

THE APPLICANT WAS ABLE TO ADDRESS MANY OF THOSE CONCERNS IN THE MEETING AND SOME REQUIRED ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

HERE'S AN EXAMPLE, FACADE DESIGN FOR THE MIDWAY ROAD FRONTAGE.

UM, SO WITH THAT STAFF DID, UH, PROVIDE PUBLIC NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH TOWN AND STATE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE 200 FOOT BOUNDARY.

WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES.

UH, WE DID RECEIVE, UM, AS OF PROBABLY FOUR 30, UH, 10 LETTERS OF OPPOSITION, UH, FOR FOLKS THAT LIVE OUTSIDE OF THAT NOTICE BOUNDARY, UH, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.

UM, IT DOES MEET THE INTENT THAT THE SAM'S CLUB STUDY, ANOTHER TIME POLICIES.

IT PROVIDES A COMPONENT OF THE HOUSING MIX IN THIS AREA.

THIS WILL NOT BE THE DOMINANT COMPONENT, BUT MULTIFAMILY RENTAL IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BENEFIT THIS AREA AS A COMPONENT OF A LARGER AND BROADER HEALTH MIX.

UM, THIS, UH, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WITH SOME APPROVAL CONDITIONS, UH, ONE, UH, THE ADOPTION OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT MEMORIALIZES WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS, BUT ALSO, UH, PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, UH, AND AGREEMENTS, STIMULATING CONDITIONS FOR THINGS SUCH AS THE TIMING OF THE TOWN FEE, SIMPLE TOWN, HOME DEVELOPMENT, INSTALLATION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS TO BE DEDICATED TO THE TOWN.

UM, AND THEN, UH, MITIGATION CREDITS FOR TREE TRANSPLANTING, AND THEN ALSO, UH, EXTERIOR FACADE MATERIALS AND SUSTAINABILITY REVISIONS.

WE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

THANK, UM, INSURANCE QUESTIONS, YOUR STUDY WITH THE TRAFFIC FLOW, GOING DOWN ON GATEWAY.

HAS THERE, IS THERE ANY SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

YOU SIT INTERNALLY FACILITATE, SEE MIDWAY STARTED GETTING MORE AND MORE TRAFFIC, THAT KIND OF CONCERNS.

SO THE, UH, GOING INTO MIDWAY AND AISLE AISLE, OR GOING INTO THE SITE FROM BIDWELL PULL UP THE SITE, UM, SO THERE IS A DEDICATED LEFT TURN LANE.

UM, SO FOR NORTHBOUND MIDWAY TRAFFIC AND, UH, THE TIA DEMONSTRATED THAT IT PERFORMED QUITE WELL FOR TRAFFIC'S ENTERING, UH, THE SITE FROM THAT, UH, TURN LANE AND SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC, UM, UH, ENTERING THE SITE, UH, FROM MIDWAY AS WELL, NO ISSUES IN THE ROADWAY, UM, WHERE, UH, THE TEI AND IDENTIFIED NEEDS FOR MITIGATION WAS PROVIDING FOR KEY SPACE IN THE FORM OF DEDICATED, LEFT AND RIGHT TURN LANES AT EACH ACCESS POINT.

SO IF THERE IS ANY DELAYS GETTING ONTO MIDWAY, THEY HAD AVAILABLE SPACE TO ALLOW FOR RIGHT TURN LANES, AND YOU DON'T HAVE ISSUES WHERE SOMEONE MADE WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, IT'S CLOGGING UP, UH, AVAILABILITY TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN OUT OF THE SITE.

CAN YOU CLARIFY ON THAT ADDISON, THE DENSITY PAGE? WHATEVER.

CAN YOU CLARIFY ON THE ADDISON'S? DOES THAT INCLUDE THE TOWNHOUSE AND YOU'RE OUT THERE? JUST, UH, NO, THAT'S THE, IT WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER IF IT WAS JUST THE FOUR MINUTES.

THE TIME ON, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

ONE, YOU MENTIONED THE LEAD CERTIFICATION.

UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE REQUIRES THAT WE'RE BELOW? IT'S NOT A TOWN REGULATION IN THAT, UM, OUR ZONING REQUIRES IT IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS BECOME AN EXPECTATION FOR PROJECTS, UH, ARE REZONING FOR MULTI-FAMILY USE.

AND REALLY FOR, I WOULD SAY CLASS, A OFFICE AND OTHER CLASS, A REAL ESTATE AS WELL.

I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE LEVELS IS GOLD.

I MEAN, GOLD SOUNDED GOOD, BUT IT COULD BE, SO THE TOP LEVEL WOULD BE PLATINUM GOLD WOULD BE THE MID LEVEL.

IF TABLUM DESIRED, THAT CONNECTION COULD OCCUR, BUT THEY'RE NOT REQUIRING IT.

AND THEN, UM, SO I, I APPROVED THE SAME STUDY, CAUSE YOU SAID, WHEN WE GO TO THE SPECIFICS AND WE BRING UP THE SPECIFIC, SO I'M STILL AGAINST THE, UH, VEHICLE CROSSING THAT PEDESTRIAN, UM, THE OTHER PLACE, THE VEHICLE, UM, WHAT IS IT CALLED THE MAJOR THROUGH FAIR, UH, GOING THROUGH THE, UH, WRITING TRAIL PEDESTRIANS.

I DON'T LIKE THE CONCEPT TO BE CROSSING THE GESTURE WHERE WE'RE, WHERE WE'RE ENCOURAGING PEDESTRIANS AND THE CLARIFYING THEIR PLAN DOES NOT HAVE THAT CONNECTION.

THERE IS A NOTE THAT SAYS

[01:30:01]

THEIR TRAFFIC ANALYSIS DOES NOT CONSIDER IT.

IT'S A FREESTANDING PROJECT.

DID YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? YEAH.

I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION.

I HAVE A COMMENT.

I HEARD WHEN OUR LAST MEETING IN JUNE THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE SAM CLUBS STUDY GROUP, UH, ONE OF THEIR TASKS WAS TO WALK AND DRIVE THE ENTIRE AREA OF WHAT WAS BEING CONSIDERED.

SO AT THE MEETING, LAST TIME I ASKED KIM IF WE COULD DO THAT.

SO LAST FRIDAY, HE AND I MET AT EIGHT 30 RIGHT HERE.

AND THEN WE WALKED THE ENTIRE PORTION OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW AND THE EXTENDED PIECE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE SAM CLUB SETTING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AND BACK.

SO I WANTED TO HAVE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT EXACTLY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

AND SPECIFICALLY I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT A HUNDRED FEET LOOK LIKE.

I MEAN, I KNOW WHAT 30 YARDS IS AND 35 YARDS IS WHAT IS LAID OUT ON A FOOTBALL FIELD.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IT IN SPACE LIKE THIS, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? AND I WANTED TO HAVE A GREAT UNDERSTANDING OF THAT, WHICH THAT ACCOMPLISHED.

SO I THINK THE, UH, IT GIVES YOU A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S BEING ASKED AND WHAT'S BEING, UH, UH, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON AND RECOMMEND.

AND, UH, I JUST WANTED TO GO ON RECORD AND SAY, THAT WAS A GREAT, EVERYBODY SHOULD DO IT.

IT'S A TERRIFIC OPPORTUNITY.

AND SO TRAVELING NORTH ON MIDWAY BACK TO THAT MAP DATA EARLIER, SO THERE'S, THERE'S SEVERAL PIECES TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

WILL YOU BE ABLE TO ENTER EITHER IF YOU'RE TRAVELING NORTH AT EITHER ONE OF THOSE CURB CUTS AND MAKE YOUR WAY AROUND TO THE APARTMENTS OR TO THE FEE SIMPLE TOWNHOMES, ANY GATE AND SEPARATING EACH OF THOSE PROPERTIES OR, OR, UM, NO, THE ONLY, THE ONLY GATE IS INTERNAL IN THE PARKING STRUCTURE.

UM, AND THEN THE DOG PARK IMPROVEMENTS THEY'RE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, RIGHT? YES.

LEAD CERTIFICATION.

UM, DOES THAT INCLUDE, UH, RECYCLING? THEY HAVE RECYCLING DEDICATED RECYCLING FACILITIES AT THE SOUTHERN FACADE WEST OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE ACCIDENT.

AND THEN ARE THEY GOING TO INCLUDE ANY ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS, A MINIMUM OF 20, AND THEN, UM, UH, LOTS THAT ARE MADE FOR DEVELOPMENT.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

SO THE TOWNHOMES, THEY'RE NOT JUST SELLING RAW LAND TO A DEVELOPER, AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THEY GET DEVELOPED.

WE ARE REQUIRING THEM TO DEVELOP THEM, MEANING THIRD WORK, RIGHT, CORRECT.

THERE THEY'RE REQUIRING THEMSELVES.

AND WE SUPPORT THAT ACTION.

THEY'RE GOING TO DEVELOP THE LOTS AND MAKE THEM READY FOR A TOWNHOUSE.

SO ALL DIRT WORK, ALL UTILITIES LOGO WILL BE READY TO BE BUILT ON.

SO THAT WOULD OPEN IT UP TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT BUILDERS WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO JUST START FROM SCRATCH.

AND THEN CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE D RESTRICTIONS ON THOSE LOTS OF THE BUILDERS IN THERE? THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO REVIEW WITH THEM IF THIS WERE APPROVED AND THEY GET INTO THE CIVIL DESIGN AND PLANNING PROCESS, BUT, UM, ANYTIME YOU HAVE A, UM, UH, A NEIGHBORHOOD OF DECENT BELONGINGS THAT HAS COMMON PROPERTY, WE WOULD REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS TO ENSURE PROPER MAINTENANCE OF THAT COMMON PROPERTY.

UM, THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A SEPARATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN AND EMILY, IF THE TOWN, IT WOULD BE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AT THE TIME, DOES IT, UH, APPLY ANY PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR THE CONSTRUCTION, UH, AND TIMING OF CONSTRUCTION FOR THOSE, UH, FEASIBLE, BUT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DICTATE THE HEIGHT OF THOSE TOWNHOMES.

WE WENT THROUGH SOMETHING AND THEN DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE FEE WOULD BE FOR THE TREE MITIGATION? SO THEY ACTUALLY WON'T HAVE TO PAY A FEE BECAUSE THEY ARE, UH, UNLIKE SOME RECENT PROJECTS, THEY ARE ABLE TO REPLANT ALL THOSE TREES LOST ON SITES BECAUSE OF THAT, UH, UNUSUAL AND EXPANSIVE OPEN SPACE FOR A PROJECT OF THIS TYPE.

SO JPI, UH, ADDISON HEIGHTS, FOR EXAMPLE, CLEAR CUT THAT PROJECT COULD ONLY REPLANT A SMALL PERCENTAGE.

SO THEY HAD ABOUT A, I THINK IT WAS, IT WAS SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN FEES PAY.

THESE, THIS PROJECT CAN DO IT ALL ON SITE.

[01:35:04]

CAN I, ONE THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN IT AS IN GROVE, UM, THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.

NUMBER OCCASIONS AT THESE MEETINGS IS TRAFFIC CONGESTION INSIDE THE INTERIOR, MOST NOTABLY PARKS, WHERE THE RESIDENTS ARE NOT USING THE GARAGE.

UH, IT'S DESIGNATED, THEY'RE JUST PARKING ON THE STREET.

UM, WHAT SORT OF CONDITIONS IS THE TOWN PUTTING ON THIS TO MITIGATE IT? SO WE GET AHEAD OF THE PROBLEM ON HIS DEVELOPMENT AS OPPOSED TO PATTERSON GROVES.

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO, UM, WE'RE DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT HERE THAN EDISON GRID, INTERNET.

UH, THE STREET INFRASTRUCTURE IS PRIVATE, BUT PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE.

THE PARKING IS PRIVATE TO GIVE THE MULTIFAMILY OPERATOR AND THEIR ONSITE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, THE POWER TO ENFORCE PARKING ON SITES.

THEY ARE MUCH BETTER SITUATED.

OUR POLICE ARE WONDERFUL, BUT THEY HAVE A LOT OF, UH, UH, DEMANDS.

UH, SOME OF WHICH ARE PARKING RELATED, MANY.

AREN'T NOT.

SO HAVING THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, BEING ABLE TO CONTROL PARKING, UM, WE FEEL IT WILL BE AN EFFECTIVE STRATEGY.

ALSO.

UH, PROBABLY THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WITH ADDISON GROVE IS YOU HAVE THE, UM, PARKING STRUCTURE ON A SIDE OF THE SITE THAT IS PROBABLY THE LEAST ACCESSIBLE PART OF THE SITE.

SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF INCENTIVE FOR SOMEONE TO PARK ON THE STREET AND WALK RIGHT INTO THEIR UNITS VERSUS DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK, PARKING WALK, GETTING INTO THE ELEVATOR, WALKING ACROSS THE BUILDING.

SO WITH THIS PROJECT, THE PARKING STRUCTURE IS CENTRALLY LOCATED.

SO IT DOESN'T FAVOR ONE SIDE OF THE BUILDING VERSUS THE OTHER.

UM, I DON'T KNOW REALLY QUESTION THIS WOULDN'T BE DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE, BUT MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH DOG PARK IS AS MANY PEOPLE WALK THEIR DOGS TO THE DOG PARK AS BRINGING THEM IN THEIR CARS, WHAT WILL IT PREVENT THE PARKING IN THE DOG PARK AREA TO BE BASICALLY CONSUMED BY RESIDENTS WHO ARE PARKING THERE AS OPPOSED TO RESERVING THAT SPACE FOR DOG PARK OWNERS? I WOULD, IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT, UM, THE TOWN COULD ENFORCE AS WELL, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TEAM, FROM FAMILY TO ADDRESS AS WELL.

UM, THEY HAVE, UH, UH, THE GREATEST ABILITY TO VERY STRONGLY IMPACT.

THE RESIDENTS ARE NOT FOLLOWING, UH, POLICIES THAT THEIR PROJECTS.

SO, UH, THEY, THEY CAN ADDRESS THAT AS WELL.

BUT ONE POINT OF CLARITY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO PUBLIC PARKING AT THAT DOG PARK, CORRECT.

IT IS ALL OFFICE PARKING THAT PEOPLE USE, CORRECT.

UH, I WOULD SAY THAT'S CORRECT.

AND BECAUSE THE OFFICE IS NOT IN HIGH DEMAND AND IT'S NOT CORRECT.

I THINK THERE WAS SOME MISNOMERS AT SOME NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS THAT PARKING'S GOING TO BE TAKEN AWAY AND THEN THEY WERE BEING PROVIDED PLUS.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY GAINING PARKING.

THERE ARE PARKING SPOTS THAT ARE DESIGNATED, THEY'VE GOT, HOW MANY ARE THERE EIGHT SPACES? SO WE'RE GETTING, UM, THE, AND THE TRAIL IS IN THE SOUTH ONTO THE READY TRAIL.

WHAT DOES IT ENTER INTO ON THE NORTH END? SO IT WOULD TERMINATE AT THE MCCUTCHEON PROPERTY.

IT WOULD BE OUR HOPE THAT, UH, DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH, UM, IS A CATALYST OR REINVESTMENT ON THAT PROPERTY, WHETHER IN WHOLE, OR IN PHASES, THIS IS THE HARDEST COMPONENT OF THE TRAIL TO GET ESTABLISHED.

IF THIS COMPONENT DOES NOT GET ESTABLISHED AND THIS PROPERTY KIND OF LINGERS FOR A WHILE, GETTING THAT TRAIL IMPLEMENTED WILL BE A CHALLENGE.

BUT IF YOU HAVE THAT PROPERTY, THAT THE NORTH SANDWICH LIKE COLDWELL AND THIS PROJECT, UM, IT, I THINK IT CREATES A LOT OF ENERGY TOWARDS CONTINUING THAT TRAIL.

DID THE TRAFFIC STUDY INDICATE THE NEED FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND EITHER ONE OF THOSE OR BOTH OF THE LOCATIONS? I WOULD THINK ONE OF THE PURCHASES OF REVAMPING THE MIDWAY THAT WE'RE ALL GOING THROUGH, THE PAINFUL GROWING PAINS ON IS, UH, ASSUME TO HANDLE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC IN THE FUTURE.

AND I WOULD THINK TURNING LEFT OUT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT COULD BE RATHER TRICKY, WHICH CREATES SOME ISSUES WITH THE LIABILITY OF THE, OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

SO WOULD THE TOWN, WOULD THAT BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY SOME POINT LATER ON, OR IS THAT A POSSIBILITY OR IS THIS FUELING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT? SO ANY TIME A DEVELOPER CREATES A CONDITION THAT'S FULLY ATTRIBUTABLE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THEIR PROJECT, GENERALLY THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THAT IMPROVEMENT.

UM, THERE, TIA DID NOT INDICATE THAT WAS A NEED AND OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING TEAM DID NOT INDICATE THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING

[01:40:01]

THAT WAS WARRANTED AS A RESULT OF THE TRAFFIC DEMAND GENERATED BY THIS PROJECT.

UM, THERE ARE LOTS OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS BETWEEN BELTLINE AND PROTON.

SO YOU'VE GOT BELTWAY, YOU'VE GOT BELTLINE, YOU'VE GOT PROTON, YOU'VE GOT HORNET.

SO ADDING ANOTHER ONE, UM, WHILE IT MAY PROVIDE FOR EXCEPTIONAL ACCESS TO, AND FROM THIS SITE, IT MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE OVERALL CORRIDOR.

OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER IS THE, THERE MAY BE A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING, UH, IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THIS AREA THAT COULD IMPACT THAT CONSIDERATION AS WELL.

SO, UM, OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM AND, UH, THEIR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS EVALUATE THAT CONSIDERATION.

THEY HAVE NOT INDICATED THAT WAS AN AID, UH, AS A RESULT OF THIS PROJECT.

ALRIGHT.

AND SOMEWHAT CONTRADICTED.

IT SEEMED TO BE CONTRADICTORY TO ME, BUT, UM, THE TOWNHOMES ON THE WEST SIDE AND WE'LL HEAR FROM THE RESIDENTS HERE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE, WHAT THEY FEEL, BUT THAT MEANS PHASE FOUR, UM, SEEING IT COULD BE THREAT OR FAR OFF INTO THE FUTURE.

AND IF I WAS A ADJACENT RESIDENT, I'D RATHER BE SCREENED FROM THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT FIRST.

UM, THAT'D BE MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESIDENTS ACTUALLY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HERE.

THEY HAVE TO SAY, BUT THEN THERE'S ANOTHER SLIDE THAT SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO WORK WITH THEM ON A TIMEFRAME FOR THE TOWN HOMES.

SO IF IT'S, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DEFINING THE TIMEFRAME OF PHASE FOUR OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE PHASE FOUR? SO THE, THE WAY THE APPLICANT HAS PRESENTED THAT CONSIDERATION IS THAT THEY'VE ENGAGED TALENT HOME BUILDERS AND THE TOWN HOME BUILDERS FEEDBACK THEY RECEIVED FROM THEM IS THAT, UH, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO MARKET THE PRODUCT, THE TALENT HOMES PRIOR TO THE MULTIFAMILY BEING COMPLETED.

SO THEY WANT TO TIME THAT WELL, SO IT CAN BE COMPLETED QUICKLY FOLLOWING THE MULTIFAMILY, BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY'VE SHARED.

THAT'S WHAT THEY PRESENTED IN THE COMMUNITY.

YOUR POINT IS, UH, A VERY GOOD POINT.

IDEALLY, YOU GET THE TOWNHOMES BUILT FIRST.

ONE OF THE THINGS THEY PROPOSE TO TRY TO MITIGATE THAT IS GETTING ALL OF THE OPEN SPACE INSTALLED IN ALL THE LANDSCAPE.

SO ALL THE NEW TREES, UH, INSTALLED FIRST, BUT, UM, THAT'S PROBABLY NOT AS SUBSTANTIAL AS A THREE-STORY TOWN HOME IN TERMS OF SCREENING.

IS GOING TO BE A MIX OF USES A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES, A MIX OF DENSITIES, AND A MIX OF SCALE.

ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR KIM THAT ONE SEVERAL CAN, IF THIS GETS APPROVED TO THAT, WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT TO MAKE SURE THAT NOISE ORDINANCES ARE ENFORCED WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, UH, THAT WOULD BE MY STAFF AND OUR PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION STAFF WHERE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IS A COMPONENT OF THAT, BUT PRIMARILY MY STAFF ON THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT SIDE, WE HAVE A GREAT FIX OF THAT.

THAT KIND OF TRIGGERED YOU AROUND THE USE.

EXCUSE ME, SECOND.

UM, UM, THIS NOISE, I THINK THAT THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT THING, AND I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU WERE SAYING BACK ABOUT THAT NOISE.

COULD YOU JUST, YEAH, LET ME CLARIFY.

SO MY QUESTION IS I KNOW THERE'S NOISE ORDINANCES, AND IF THIS GETS APPROVED, UM, OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT CONSTRUCTION DOESN'T START BEFORE A CERTAIN TIME, UM, AND AT A CERTAIN TIME.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO HAVE PROCESSES IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT GETS POLICED.

WE DO, UH, WE HAVE AN EXTENSIVE PROCESS ON THE FRONT END OF PROJECTS WHEN WE'RE DOING PLAN REVIEW, BUT THEN TRANSITIONING.

AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WHERE WE COMMUNICATE EXPECTATIONS FROM A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT STANDPOINT TO THE DEVELOPER, THEY HAVE DEVELOPED AN ADDISON BEFORE.

SO THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT.

THEY HAVE FUTURE PROJECTS PLANNED IN ADDISON.

SO, UM, I DO BELIEVE THAT THEY INTEND TO BE A VERY GOOD NEIGHBOR.

UH, THERE WILL BE NOISE RELATED TO CONSTRUCTION, BUT THEY WILL, UH, BE REQUIRED TO, AND, AND I, I KNOW THAT WILL VOLUNTARILY COMPLY WITH OUR REQUIREMENTS AS IT RELATES TO WORK HOURS.

UH, JEN, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT ONE I CAN'T, UM, JUST BASED ON YOUR NOTABLE PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE, UH, IS IT, IS IT YOUR OPINION THAT WHILE CONSIDERING CURRENT MARKET AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS, THAT THIS IS PROJECT THAT IS BEING PROPOSED AS THE BEST USE FOR THIS SITE, THERE ARE MANY USES THAT WOULD BE GREAT USES FOR THE SITES.

UM, PARTICULARLY MANY OF THE USES THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN OUR HOUSING POLICY.

UH, THERE ARE NON-RESIDENTIAL USES THAT WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE SITE, BUT WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THOSE USES FAIL.

UM, WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE SITE, IT'S ONE THING TO THINK ABOUT JUST THE SITE, BUT ALSO TO THINK ABOUT THE SAM'S CLUB AREA AS A WHOLE, IT

[01:45:01]

THIS SITE IS THE SITE THAT'S MOST APPROPRIATE.

I WANT TO SAY APPROPRIATE.

THINK ABOUT BUFFERING FROM RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND ALSO PROVIDING A STRONG FRONTAGE OF THE MIDWAY ROAD, ITS NATURE, ITS DEPTH.

IT IS BEST SUITED TO ACHIEVE A PROJECT OF THIS DENSITY AND SCALE, WHICH I THINK THIS AREA AS A WHOLE BENEFITS FROM HAVING A PROJECT OF THIS DENSITY AND SCALE, IT SHOULD NOT BE THE PREVAILING CHARACTER OF THIS AREA, BUT HAVING IT AS A COMPONENT REFLECTS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THIS PARTICULAR SITE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS FOR CANNON? IF NONE, I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC PORTION.

THE MEETING IS THE AFTERNOON HERE TONIGHT.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A PRESENTATION? DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION? YES WE DO.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY, LET ME TRY IT.

HOW ABOUT THIS? THERE WE GO.

THIS IS MUCH BETTER.

MY NAME IS TAYLOR FALLING ON WITH AMALIE RESIDENTIAL.

MY ADDRESS IS BUSINESS ADDRESS IS 50 57 KELLER SPRINGS.

WE'VE BEEN PART OF THE ADDISON BUSINESS COMMAND TO BE HERE FOR 15 YEARS.

UH, LOOK, I CAN SENSE A LITTLE FATIGUE IS SETTING IN.

IT'S A LITTLE WARM IN THE ROOM.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE WANTING TO ASK QUESTIONS.

WE HAVE ABOUT A 15 MINUTE PRESENTATION, BUT I'M GOING TO, I'M GOING TO REALLY TRY AND CONDENSE THIS DOWN TO JUST THE KEY FACTS ABOUT WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE'RE INTENDING TO DEVELOP.

AND WE HAVE A WONDERFUL VIDEO THAT I REALLY ASK THAT YOU ALL KEEP AN OPEN MIND AND THAT YOU REALLY, UH, WATCH.

I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT HOUSING USES AND WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED HERE IN MY ASS TO ALL OF YOU IS SIMPLY TO LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF THE PROJECT THAT WE ARE PROPOSING.

KEEP AN OPEN MIND TO LISTEN.

AND WE'RE GONNA BE HERE TO ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS OR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING REALLY QUICK ON MY TEAM.

THERE'S A LOT OF US HERE TODAY.

UH, JOE BRUCE IS ONE OF OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS WITH FAMILY.

HE HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE.

HE'LL BE WORKING ALONGSIDE ME.

UH, JOB'S A LICENSED ARCHITECT AND HAS LOTS OF DESIGN EXPERIENCE.

BRETT FOSTER RIGHT HERE.

WHO MANY OF YOU GOT TO MEET WHILE WE WERE DOING THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRESENTATIONS OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, UH, WAS OUR KEY COORDINATOR WITH THIS AND HE'LL BE HELPING US WITH THIS PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

THE FULL PRESENTATION IS ONLINE AND I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU ALL TAKE THE TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

ALSO ON OUR DESIGN TEAM OR A REST OF OUR FAMILY TEAM PLAYS.

THEY'RE STILL BACK HERE.

UH, ASHLEY DOTS AND I RECOVERED.

THEY ARE BOTH AT OUR EMILY ADDISON, UH, PROPERTY, AND THEY'VE BEEN PART OF OUR MANAGEMENT STAFF FOR YEARS SINCE WE OPENED, UH, THAT COMMUNITY.

AND THEY ALSO WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE ONSITE MANAGEMENT AND THEN OUR DESIGN TEAM, UH, HEATH KENDRICK WITH LAND DESIGN PARTNERS, RYAN SAFFORD, WITH BOWMAN AND JUSTIN VAUGHN, UH, WITH HLR ARCHITECTS, WHICH BASED HERE IN ADDISON, UH, IT'S CRITICAL TO KNOW ALL THESE GENTLEMEN WERE PART OF OUR FAMILY ONE DESIGN TEAM AND THEY WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT AND HAD A GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TOWN AND WE CONTINUE TO WANT TO USE THEM FOR THIS SIGNIFICANT PROJECT.

BUILDING THAT REALLY WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THAT REALLY ADDED TO THE DALLAS SKYLINE.

REAL QUICK ON AMWAY, WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE ARE.

WE ARE OWNERS, DEVELOPERS, MANAGERS OF LUXURY MIXED USE AND MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITIES.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

VERY PARAGRAPH WE'RE COAST TO COAST.

NOW WE'RE NINE MAJOR MARKETS.

AS YOU CAN SEE SEATTLE, UH, SOUTHERN CAL ALL THE WAY TO MIAMI.

WE HAVE 85 COMMUNITIES, UH, 27,000 UNITS.

WE HAVE A VERY PROMINENT, UH, COLLECTION OF ASSETS IN TEXAS.

UH, WE'VE BEEN HERE, UH, SINCE THE EARLY NINETIES, WE HAVE OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE BEING HERE.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE LIKE TO REALLY CLUSTER OUR DEVELOPMENTS.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE HAVE DOWNTOWN, THE LOS CLEANEST SUB MARKET, UH, WEST PLANO AND FRISCO.

AND WE HAVE ONE PROPERTY IN ADDISON AND WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE, COUPLE OF SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE RECENTLY COMPLETED.

UH, WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE ADDISON ONE PROCESS, WE ALSO STARTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR 45 STORY HIGH RISE IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS.

THIS WAS A SIGNIFICANT

[01:50:01]

THIS IS THE TALLEST NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH TEXAS.

AND THIS IS BASICALLY A CONDO BUILDING IN THE SKY.

OUR AVERAGE RUNS HERE ARE EXCESSIVE $4,000 A MONTH.

UH, IT IS A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY.

AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF QUALITY IN WHAT WE BUILD AND WHAT WE INTEND TO BUILD AT EMILY TREE AS OTHER NOTICEABLE DEVELOPMENTS, MIXED USE SAMPLING, QUADRANGLE AND UPTOWN, UM, MARINA DEL RAY AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

UH, WE JUST OPENED THAT HAS A MARINA ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND OUR WEST PLANO DEVELOPMENT.

UH, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IN, UM, UH, AS HORIZONTAL MIXED USE, UH, ALSO GRAPEVINE LAS COLINAS.

AND THESE ARE TOWNHOMES.

WE RECENTLY BUILT IN DENVER QUESTION WE GET OFTEN IS WHO ARE THESE RESIDENTS? YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THEY, SOME ARE HERE TONIGHT.

UH, BUT AS A STATISTIC THAT WE FEEL IS VERY IMPORTANT IS THAT HOUSEHOLD INCOME OR OUR DALLAS RESIDENTS, THAT'S AN EXCESS OF $150,000 A YEAR.

WHEN I SAY THAT THESE ARE RENTERS BY CHOICE.

THIS IS TRULY A RETRO BY CHOICE DEMOGRAPHIC.

THE OTHER THING THAT'S NOTICEABLE IS LOOK AT THE AGE, THIS ISN'T GOING TO YOUR YOUNG FIRST TIME RENTER 41% OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE 35 YEARS OR OLDER.

ANOTHER QUESTION WE OFTEN GET, HOW LONG DO YOU OWN THESE PROPERTIES? ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO BUILD AND FLIP? ARE YOU GOING TO SELL, ARE YOU LEAVING THIS TOWN? WELL, I THINK YOU CAN SEE FROM OUR EXPERIENCE AT EMILY ADDISON, OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COTTON BELT AND THE AGE OF OUR ASSETS HERE IN DALLAS IS THAT WE OWN OUR PROPERTIES FOR A LONG TIME.

THAT IS OUR BUSINESS MODEL.

THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

WE WANT TO BE A FABRIC AND PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.

AND WE'VE CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THIS ONE PROPERTY IN PARTICULAR THAT AMY QUADRANGLE I SHOWED YOU WAS 13 YEARS OLD.

IF YOU WERE TO GO SEE THAT PROPERTY TODAY WOULD LOOK BETTER THAN WHEN IT WAS BUILT.

WHY? BECAUSE WE JUST PUT CLOSE TO $20 MILLION IN RENOVATING THE COMPLETE ASSET AND IT LOOKS BRAND NEW.

AND IF THE TOWN AND OF THE AREA AROUND ADDISON SUPPORTS TREEHOUSE, I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN DO THE SAME THING HERE.

YOU HEARD US TALK ABOUT LEAD TODAY.

WE WERE ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE LEADERS IN LEAD CERTIFIED HOUSING, WHICH STANDS FOR LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN.

THIS IS NEAR AND DEAR TO US.

THIS IS CRITICAL.

WE REALLY TRULY BELIEVE AS PART OF BEING AN EXCEPTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EXCEPTIONAL PROJECT THAT YOU HAVE TO BUILD BETTER PRODUCT.

AND THE LEAD RATING SYSTEM IS BY FAR UNIVERSALLY KNOWN AS THE BEST AS THE STANDARD THAT IS SET TO REALLY PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE INGREDIENT.

LIVING.

YOU'LL SEE THAT OUR WHOLE PORTFOLIO, WE HAVE 49 LATE CERTIFIED COMMUNITIES IN DALLAS AND OUR 13 ASSETS, 10 ARE ELITE CERTIFIED, INCLUDING EMILY ADDISON, WHICH CHEAP GOLD.

AND I THINK THERE'S ONLY SIX IN THE ENTIRE TOWN.

I'LL ALSO MENTION A COUPLE INTERESTING FACTS WITH RECYCLING AND ENERGY USE OUR RECYCLING PERCENTAGE AT EMILY ADDISON IS CLOSE TO 35%.

YOU KNOW WHAT? THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS 15, UH, ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY SPACE, ALL OF OUR COMMON AREA, WHAT DO WE DO? WE BUY GRAIN, RENEWABLE ENERGY.

THAT'S VERY UNIQUE AND SOMETHING THAT OUR COMPETITORS AND A LOT OF OTHER PROPERTIES DON'T DO.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO STAND BY WHILE WE'RE GOING TO COMMIT TO FOR TREEHOUSE EMILY ADIS AND ONE WENT THROUGH A SIMILAR REZONING REQUEST.

THERE WAS CONCERN ABOUT HAVING TOO MANY APARTMENTS IN ADDISON THAT THIS WOULDN'T BE A ATTRACTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS WOULDN'T ADD TO THE FABRIC OF THE TOWN AND A COUPLE KEY DATA POINTS HERE THAT I WANT TO STRESS.

WHEN WE THOUGHT ABOUT BUILDING THIS BUILDING, WE GOT UP THE COUNCIL AND WE TOLD THEM, WE THOUGHT IT'D BE WORTH $60 MILLION.

AND THEN MAYBE WE WOULD CONTRIBUTE CLOSE TO $300,000 IN ADDITIONAL TAXES TO THIS TOWN.

WHEN IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE, WE'RE CLOSER TO 75 MILLION.

AND WE ARE LITERALLY CONTRIBUTING ALMOST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR OF ADDITIONAL TAX REVENUE COMPARED TO WHAT WAS THERE.

WE ACHIEVED ELITE GOLD READING, AND WE ALSO, WE ALSO CONTRIBUTED A MILLION, FIVE AND OFFSITE SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS.

A LOT OF YOU ALL THINK WE INCLUDED AT THE TIME THAT ADDISON IS SUCH A WONDERFULLY RUN TOWN AND THAT ITS INFRASTRUCTURE IS PRISTINE.

AND IT'S NOT WE'RE KNOW THAT THESE THINGS ARE AGING.

AND SO THAT WAS ON US TO PROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE HERE.

WE DID NOT ASK FOR ONE PENNY FROM THE TOWN TO BUILD THIS PROJECT.

THE OTHER THING I WANT TO STRESS IS WE HAVE CLOSE TO 500 NEW RESIDENTS THAT ARE SUPPORTING THE LOCAL BUSINESSES IN THE COMMERCIAL AND THE OFFICE COMMUNITY HERE.

THAT IS A BIG PART OF ADDISON.

THAT'S WHAT PAYS FOR THESE WONDERFUL SERVICES.

AND THESE RESIDENTS ARE GREAT ADDITION TO THIS TOWN AMENITIES THAT POOL, THAT COURTYARD YOU'RE LOOKING

[01:55:01]

AT THAT BEAUTIFUL BIG SPACE WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING AT AMWAY TREE HOUSE.

WE REALLY COVET OPEN GREEN SPACE FOR OUR RESIDENTS IS WHAT THEY WANT.

IT'S WHAT THEY DESERVE FOR THE RENTS.

THEY'RE PAYING ANOTHER IMPORTANT FEATURE ARE THESE TWO COWORKING AREAS WE'VE SEEN POST COVID A REAL CHANGE OVER ALMOST OVER HALF OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE NOW WORKING AT HOME EITHER FULL TIME OR PART OF THE TIME.

SO WE ARE NOW PROVIDING AMENITIES FOR THEM SO THAT THEY CAN LIVE AND WORK IN THEIR HOMES AND HAVE THESE WONDERFUL COWORKING SPACES.

WE ABSOLUTELY INTEND TO HAVE THOSE AT EMILY TREEHOUSE.

WE HAVE HOMELESS 22,000 SQUARE FEET IN THAT PRIORITY COMMERCIAL ZONE ALONG MIDWAY.

AND WE WANT TO ACTIVATE IT WAS STOPPED.

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS.

THIS IS IMPACTFUL.

THIS IS WHAT OUR RESIDENTS WANT.

THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR COMMUNITY MEETINGS.

WE'VE HOSTED SEVERAL AT AMALIE ONE, AND WE WANT TO DO THE SAME HERE AT TREEHOUSE FITNESS.

FITNESS IS A BIG PART.

HOW CAN WE PROMOTE GREEN LIVING AND NOT HAVE GREAT FITNESS AREAS? I KNOW THERE'S CONCERN ABOUT OUR RESIDENTS USING THE ACTIVITY CENTER.

I THINK WE DID AN AUDIT AND WE FOUND OUT MAYBE ABOUT 15 OR 16 OF OUR 350 RESIDENTS ACTUALLY GO TO THE ATHLETIC CENTER.

WHY? BECAUSE WE GIVE THEM BEAUTIFUL SPACES LIKE THIS, AND WE'RE GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AT TREEHOUSE.

THIS IS THE HISTORY OF THE STUDY AREA.

I'M GOING TO SKIP IT.

YOU ALL HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE STUDY.

KEN DID A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING ALL THIS.

THIS TALKS MORE ABOUT THE STUDY AREA, RIGHT? LET'S GO AHEAD AND WE'VE GONE THROUGH, UH, LET'S GO BACK TO THE, UH, YEAH, ONE SIDE BACK.

I WANT TO POINT OUT TWO KEY ITEMS HERE.

THIS TALKS ABOUT THE REDEVELOPMENT OF MIDWAY ROAD.

WHEN WE HOSTED A COUPLE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS SESSIONS, WE HEARD A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN ABOUT MAYBE THE COST OF THE MIDWAY ROAD EXPANSION, YOU KNOW, $40 MILLION.

THAT WAS A MAJOR INVESTMENT BY THE TOWN.

AND WHAT WE ALSO HEARD IS, WELL, MAYBE THE CONNECTIVITY ISN'T VERY GOOD ALONG THE WAY.

AND WE, WE DISAGREE.

WE THINK THAT'S CRITICAL.

THIS IS THE EXISTING CONDITION TODAY WITH THAT PEDESTRIAN WALKING RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET EDGE, THE NEW DESIGN OF MIDWAY IS GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL ADDITION.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT CROWN PLAZA LOOKS LIKE.

WE ALL HEARD THAT, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER HOTEL IS FOR SALE.

WE'VE SEEN THE CHANGE IN COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPE ON MIDWAY WITH, UH, THE, THE NICE ENGLISHMAN ANTIQUE STORE NOW BECOME SOMETHING ELSE IN SOME OF THESE RESTAURANTS THAT ARE UNFORTUNATELY ARE NO LONGER IN BUSINESS.

AND WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT IS THAT WE CAN SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE AND IMPROVE THE COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS USES ALONG THE MIDWAY EXISTING SITE.

AS KEN MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, THIS EVENT CENTER HASN'T BEEN OCCUPIED IN YEARS, UH, DUMMIES, WHEN WE FIRST MET WITH STAFF, OUR FIRST, OUR FIRST CONVERSATION WAS HOW DO WE SAY THAT? WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA.

I CAN MOVE THAT BUILDING TO THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY.

AND WE COULD REALLY FIGURE THIS OUT.

THEN WE TOOK A SITE VISIT AND WE ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THE PHYSICAL STRUCTURE AND WE FOUND OUT THIS WAS NOT A SALVAGEABLE STRUCTURE, ADA BESTOS CODE ISSUES.

UH, THERE'S A GREAT EXPRESSION WE USE IN OUR COMPANY, THE JUICE WORTH THE SQUEEZE.

AND WHEREAS THERE IS SOME HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE TO IT.

IT REALLY WASN'T USED IN THE WAY THAT PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS A FACT HERE.

CURRENT ASSESSED VALUE OF THESE TWO COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.

WE WERE ABLE TO ASSEMBLE TWO SITES TOGETHER, OFFICE IN THE PARK AND THE EVENT CENTER, CURRENT ASSESSED VALUE OF $12 MILLION.

OUR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL BE IN EXCESS OF $170 MILLION.

THIS WAS A VERY, VERY SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT THAT WE REALLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT ON.

IF THIS IS GOING TO WORK, THIS IS SOME, UH, GREAT IMAGERY.

KEN WENT THROUGH SOME OF THIS, UH, SHOWING WHAT OUR PROJECT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

LET'S GO ONE OR TWO MORE SLIDES, RIGHT? LET'S GO ONE MORE, ONE MORE, ONE MORE.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS, UH, COMMUNITY BENEFITS.

LET ME JUST HIT ON A COUPLE ITEMS. AND THEN I WANT TO GET TO THIS VIDEO FIRST, FOLLOWING THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

I THINK IT WAS NO WORTHY THAT KEN BROUGHT UP AND DID THE RESEARCH.

THEY WENT BACK TO 2013 AND WHAT DID THEY SAY? THIS CORRIDOR NEEDED REDEVELOPMENT.

WE'RE ALMOST A DECADE LATER.

AND NOTHING'S REALLY HAPPENED.

WE REALLY FEEL, AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE LISTENED AND DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO DESIGN A FEASIBLE PROJECT THAT MEETS THE GOALS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD STUDY THAT PROTECTS AND ADDS VALUE TO THE ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY.

WE KNOW THAT THAT IS SUPER.

WE KNOW THAT IT'S CRITICAL TO YOU.

AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK WE'VE REALLY DONE.

THIS THREE ACRE PARK DEDICATION IS SIGNIFICANT.

IT'S PROBABLY AN EXCESSIVE, A $4 MILLION CONTRIBUTION THAT WE'RE MAKING.

SOME PEOPLE THINK, WELL, YOU JUST, YOU JUST GIVE IT TO THIS TOWN.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO ECONOMIC LOSS.

THERE THAT'S LAND THAT WE'RE BUYING

[02:00:01]

THAT WE'RE TAKING OUT OF PRODUCTION AND THAT WE'RE GIVING IN IS A RECORD.

YOU'RE PRETTY SURE YOU ONLY USE, UH, THIS IS GOING TO ADD SIGNIFICANT VALUE TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS.

AND NOT ONLY ARE WE DEDICATING THE LAND, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO INSTALL ALL THE TREES, ALL THE BENCHES, ALL THE FURNISHING, ALL THE BALLARD LIGHTS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING IT SAFE AND THAT WE DESIGN IT IN A WAY WITH CITY STAFF HELP.

THAT'S BEEN OUT THERE NUMEROUS TIMES WITH US.

THAT'S REALLY GOING TO BE A GREAT, GREAT AMENITY AT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO THE ADDITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY THAT WE'RE ADDING ADDITIONAL HOUSING STOCK.

WE ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT, HEY, LOOK, ADDISON HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGES OF RENTAL HOUSING, RIGHT? THAT'S CONSTANT.

AND THE FACT IS ADDISON'S ALWAYS HAD A HIGH PERCENTAGE OR FOR RENTAL HOUSING.

MATTER OF FACT, IT USED TO BE QUITE A BIT HIGHER THAN IT IS TODAY.

I THINK WE FOUND OUT IN THE STUDY REPORT THAT IT WAS IN THE 90% RANGE AT ONE TIME, AND IT'S WORKED ITS WAY DOWN TO THE EIGHTIES AND THE HIGH SEVENTIES.

I SOMETIMES DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONCERN IS GIVEN THAT WE'VE ALL LIVED IN THIS WONDERFUL TOWN WITH A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF RENTAL HOUSING.

AND WHY IS THAT A PROBLEM? WHY IS THAT A DETRIMENT TO THIS COMMUNITY? HERE'S A FACT THAT WE THINK ABOUT FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND TO SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE CRITICAL TO THIS TOWN IS THERE'S ALMOST SIX JOBS PER RESIDENT.

THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST STAGGERING STATS THAT WE'VE SEEN AS WE BUILD AROUND THE COUNTRY.

AND TO PUT THAT IN COMPARISON IN DALLAS, IT'S NOT EVEN 1% THERE, SIX THAT'S, 600% BIGGER HERE.

THERE'S ALL THIS DAYTIME POPULATION.

THERE'S PEOPLE THAT WANT TO WORK IN THIS TOWN AND THEY NEED GOOD HIGH QUALITY HOUSING.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE BUILT.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE PROVIDE.

AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO THEIR BUSINESSES, TO RELOCATE HERE AND TO STAY RELEVANT AND TO STAY FRESH AND TO STAY MEANINGFUL.

THERE IS A LOT OF COMPETITION IN THE COMMERCIAL SPACE, FROM THE SUBURBS TO THE NORTH OF US AND TO THE CITY OF DALLAS TO THE SOUTH.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE OUT PROPERTY TAXES.

WE TALKED ABOUT LAST POINT IS REALLY JUST BEING AN ABSOLUTE CATALYST FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

IS THIS ENTIRE MIDWAY ROAD STUDY AREA GOING TO BE ALL APARTMENTS? NO, YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.

IS THERE ROOM FOR ONE APARTMENT COMMUNITY LIKE OURS THAT EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS AND PLANS? WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD? I BELIEVE THERE IS WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THE MIXES OF HOUSING TYPES, WHEREAS WE HAVE FOR SALE.

THE OTHER THING I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND IS IT'S NOT JUST A TYPICAL STACK FLATS.

WE WORKED HARD TO REALLY HAVE SOME UNIQUE PRODUCT TYPE THAT WE'RE GOING TO OFFER THE THREE-STORY TUCK UNDER, UH, UNITS.

WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO BUILD THESE TO BE MORE SENIOR FRIENDLY.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE AN ELEVATOR IN THAT BUILDING.

IT'S GOING TO REALLY, I THINK, WORK FOR FOLKS THAT SAY, HEY, I WANT TO SELL MY HOME.

IT WAS PROBABLY A GREAT COMMENT.

YOU SAID, I JUST DON'T WANT THE MAINTENANCE.

I DON'T WANT THE HEADACHE.

I'M GOING TO EMILY TO DEAL WITH THAT.

YOU GUYS ARE GOOD AT THAT.

I WANT TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF HOUSING ENVIRONMENT.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE HERE.

WE HAVE RENTAL TOWNHOMES, OUR SMALLEST AVERAGE UNIT SIZE, UH, WILL BE MUCH LARGER THAN WHAT YOU'VE SEEN FROM OTHER DEVELOPERS BUILD BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE CATERING TO A DIFFERENT PART OF THE MARKET.

WE REALLY WANT THEM TO MOVE ON FROM A RENTER BY CHOICE PERSON, LIVING HERE IN ADDITION TO THE MIXED USES OF THE RETAIL AND THE VANITY AND THE 33,000 SQUARE FEET OF ADDITIONAL CORPORATE SPACE, WHICH HAS SIGNIFICANT LET'S, LET'S SKIP.

THIS IS THAT EVERYBODY KIND OF WANTS TO SEE THE VIDEO.

I THINK EVERYBODY'S KIND OF READY FOR THAT.

LET'S UH, LET'S GO THERE.

IF IT'S ONE SECOND, WHEN WE SENT THIS AND WHILE THIS IS KEEN UP, WHEN I REALLY WANT YOU ALL TO REALLY LOOK AT IS THIS, THIS VIDEO OR THIS FLY THROUGH WILL ALLOW YOU TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE MASSING, THE SCALE AND THE VISUAL ASPECTS OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT.

[02:10:17]

[02:10:23]

COMMISSIONERS.

I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT.

THEN WE'LL GET INTO THE, UH, CITIZEN INPUT.

UH, SO THESE ARE THE, THE, THE ATTENDANCE CARDS I'VE BEEN HANDED.

JUST GONNA GO THROUGH THESE REAL QUICK, CATHERINE LUCIO DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

SHE IS IN SUPPORT OF , UH, CAN LEE CROW AND I WISH TO SPEAK.

HE'S ALSO IN SUPPORT.

HE OR SHE, HUNTER BAILEY DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

UM, HE OR SHE IS IN SUPPORT OF THE ONLI, UH, MELANIE, THE NITRO YOU WISH TO SPEAK.

OKAY, SURE.

UM, YES, MY NAME'S SPELMAN NITRO AND OUR HOME ABUTS RIGHT BACK HERE WITH PARKING LOT IS, UM, I'M CONCERNED WITH THAT.

UM, EMILY'S VISION OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BACK THERE.

I'M CURIOUS ABOUT HOW LONG THE WHOLE IS GOING TO TAKE.

STILL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE NOISE, THE HOURS THAT, THAT NOISE IS GOING ON.

ALSO WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HOW THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT THE BENZENE THAT IS ALONG WHERE ALL THE NEIGHBORS HAVE THEIR OWN SCENE.

HOW'S THAT GOING TO STAY AS IS, OR IS THERE GOING TO BE SOMETHING DONE WITH THAT? MOST OF THOSE QUESTIONS WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE APPLICANT'S FEEDBACK.

I'D LIKE THEM TO START ADDRESSING, AND THEN I'LL SUPPLEMENT AS NEEDED.

MA'AM I BROUGHT THAT MICROPHONE AGAIN.

THERE YOU GO.

CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? NOPE.

I WISH I HAD YOUR VOICE.

SO I THINK YOUR FIRST QUESTION WAS ABOUT, UM, THE TONS OF FENCING AND THE TIMING, IS THAT CORRECT? YES.

WELL, WHAT TIMING AS FAR AS NOISE, NO WAS OKAY.

AS FAR AS NOISE IS CONCERNED.

LOOK, WE BUILD IN LOTS OF COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY AND HAVE NOISE RESTRICTIONS.

WE ABSOLUTELY WILL FOLLOW THE TOWN REQUIREMENTS AS TO WHEN WE CAN ACTUALLY CONSTRUCT ALL OF OUR SUBCONTRACTOR AGREEMENTS WE'LL STATE WHEN THEY CAN BUILD.

AND YOUR QUESTION IS UNDERSTANDABLE.

THIS COMES UP ALL THE TIME FOR US TO TRY AND MITIGATE NOISE.

DURING CONSTRUCTION, HAVING THIS HUNDRED FOOT BUFFER WILL BE VERY HELPFUL WITH THAT.

THAT SAID WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL AND WE HAVE TO MANAGE THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS TO MEET THE TOWN REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE THEY WILL ISSUE A STOP WORK ORDER.

AND THAT'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE ARE BUILDING AT A TIME WHEN WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO THE HOURS THAT I CAN WORK, WE'RE ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT UNIQUE IN THAT THERE, MOST OF THESE HAVEN'T ESTABLISHED MY CODE.

UM, WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING IN OUR CODE, BUT TYPICALLY WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IS DAYTIME WORK HOURS OF 7:00 AM OR 8:00 AM TO 7:00 PM RESTRICTIONS ON SUNDAYS, UM, LESS HOURS ON SATURDAY, WE WOULD WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO ENSURE THAT CONSTRUCTION IS DONE.

AND TIME OF DAY, THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND GIVEN THE ADJACENCY HERE AND THERE, THEY WOULD NEED TO BE ADDITIONAL COORDINATIONS.

AND SO IT IS A SENSITIVE RESIDENTIALLY ADJACENT AREA.

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR GUT FEELING AS TO WHAT THOSE HOURS ARE? AND THEN I THINK THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WOULD YOU BE THINKING? AND WHAT'S GOING TO ENSURE STUDENTS SIMILAR TO TYPICAL WORK HOURS WITH LIMITED WORK, UH, OPPORTUNITIES ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS, NOT BEING THE DAY THAT YOU WOULD HAVE WORKED.

AND DURING THE WEEKDAY, ARE WE TALKING TO 8:00 AM AND 5:00 PM? 6:00 PM.

TYPICAL BUSINESS HOURS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GETTING RIGHT DOWN TO, I THINK SHE ALSO ASKS A QUESTION ABOUT EXISTING FENCES.

CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY, LET ME, I WISH THINGS WORK BETTER.

SO ON THE FENCES, WHAT WE, WHAT WE'VE SPOKEN ABOUT AT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS IS THAT MATTER.

SORRY GUYS, TO TALK LOUD.

CAN YOU,

[02:15:01]

SO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING OFFICE.

HOW ABOUT THAT AIR? WE GO, OKAY.

SO AT THESE, UH, AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS THAT WE'VE HELD, UH, WORKING WITH THE HOS, WE CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE RESIDENTS THAT WANT TO HAVE FENCING THAT ALLOWS THEM TO HAVE COMPLETE ACCESS TO THE NEW TRAIL.

THEY MAY WANT A GATE, THEY MAY WANT, THEY JUST HAVE METAL PICKETS.

AND THAT IS THEIR PROGRESS.

THERE MAY BE RESIDENTS THAT WANT A SOLID TALL WOOD FENCE, AND WE IN NO WAY WANT TO GET IN THE FENCE BUSINESS WITH THE HOS.

BUT WHAT WE DID OFFER IS TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO THE HOS, TO REPLACE THE FENCES SO THAT THEY CAN PICK WHAT THE HOA GOVERNANCE IS, TO WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE.

AND THEN WE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE HOA TO ENSURE THAT THE RIGHT KIND OF FENCING GETS PUT UP SO THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE HAPPY.

WE'VE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION, ESPECIALLY WITH THE TOWN LAKE NEIGHBORS THAT WERE THE FENCE LINE IS CURRENTLY, MAY NOT BE ON THE PROPERTY LINE.

AND THAT'S AN OBLIGATION THAT WE OF COURSE WILL TAKE ON AND LOOK AT, CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BUILD, AND WE'RE GOING TO CONVEY LAND TO THE TOWN.

THAT'S GOING TO MEET THAT.

WE ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE ARE SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES AND IN PART OF US WORKING WITH THE GREATS IN THE PARK AND THIS TRAIL IS THAT WE'RE ABSOLUTELY GOING TO ENSURE THAT THE WATER FLOWS PROPERLY IN THE NEW PARKLAND AREA.

SO IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE FENCE.

IT'S THE FENCE, IT'S THE DRAINAGE, IT'S THE SECURITY, IT'S THE SECURITY AND THE TRAIL AREA.

AND IT'S WORKING WITH BOTH HOS THAT WE'LL HAVE A COMMITMENT WITH, IF THIS WAS APPROVED, THAT WE CAN ADDRESS, UH, FENCING AND, AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR THAT TOTAL TIME OF CONSTRUCTION.

SO HERE'S THE TIMELINE.

IF THIS WERE APPROVED, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSE TO, UH, EIGHT TO 12 MONTHS TO OBTAIN ALL THE NECESSARY BUILDING PERMITS AND DOCUMENTS.

SO THAT MEANS WE WOULD START CONSTRUCTION SECOND OR THIRD QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR.

IT TYPICALLY TAKES US TWO YEARS FROM THE START.

SO THAT'S MID OF 23 TO MID OF 25 BEFORE WE WOULD DEVELOP IN TURN THE FIRST, THE FIRST UNITS.

AND THEN IT'LL TAKE US PROBABLY ANOTHER EIGHT TO 12 MONTHS TO FINISH THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PHASING OF THIS AND HOW THIS WILL WORK.

AND WHEN'S THE TOWNHOMES GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE HAVE TO INSTALL AND PUT IN ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE ROADS.

FIRST, WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK HERE IN THE TRAIL AREA.

WE ABSOLUTELY WANT TO GET THE TRAIL PUT IN.

FIRST, WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE TOWNHOME DEVELOPERS IS THAT THEY WOULD STRUGGLE BUILDING OR OPENING A TOWNHOME IN ADVANCE OF OUR CONSTRUCTION BEING COMPLETE.

WE ARE, WE ARE, WE ARE ALL ALIGNED WITH EVERYBODY IN HERE.

THE WANTS TO SEE THESE TOWN HOMES BEING BUILT.

IT DOES US NO GOOD TO SIT ON THAT LAND AND NOT SELL IT TO A TOWNHOME DEVELOPER TO GET THE UNITS BUILT.

WHAT MAKES IT SLIGHTLY UNIQUE IS WE DID HEAR A FEW RESIDENTS SAY, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S NOT BUILT, IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD BECAUSE THERE'S TRAIL IN THIS AREA HERE IS EVEN LARGER.

COUPLE OF YOU ASKED ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO GO IN.

AS FAR AS THE INFRASTRUCTURE, IT'S GOING TO BE PAD READY.

ALL THE WATER SEWER, UH, DRY UTILITIES WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE PAD SITES AND THERE'LL BE READY TO GO.

AND THAT'LL PROBABLY BE ABOUT A YEAR AFTER WE COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION TO HAVE THAT SITE WORK DONE.

OF, UH, STAND IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PLAN, PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT WAS APARTMENTS.

WAIT, ANOTHER INQUIRY DOES NOT FROM PIG.

ELA DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT AS AN OPPOSITION, UM, UH, ALICIA MCKOWN DOES NOVICE TO SPEAK.

SHE'S AN OPPOSITION, CHARLES HOPKINS, NO PREFERENCE EITHER WAY.

DID YOU WISH TO SPEAK CHARLES IF YOU WERE HERE, BILL LENARO WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.

UH, MY NAME IS BILL AND MY WIFE, JEN AND I, UM, LIVE OVER ON 38, 83, LAY LAYLA.

ONE OF THE TWO HOUSES OF BASED ON LATE LIFE.

I THINK THEN AS OUR ADDISON RESIDENTS, SINCE 1988, WHEN WE GOT MARRIED AND BECAME THE EDISON, ONE

[02:20:01]

ONE OF THE EARLIER BIG SPEAKERS SPOKE TO THE EFFECT GENTLEMAN NAMED WILSON FROM OVERTOWN.

WE DECIDED THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A MORATORIUM ON APARTMENTS IN DALLAS, IN JEN AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT'S APPROPRIATE WITH THE THERE, THE INDICATION IS A 70 OR 80% SOMEWHERE IN THAT FRAMEWORK.

70, 80% OF THE UNITS IN DALLAS ARE APARTMENTS.

AND WE SUBMIT THAT THERE SHOULD BE MORE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, NARROWS LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE ISSUE OF ZONING AND THE SPEAK TO THE ISSUE OF THE QUESTION OF ABOUT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE PROPERTY.

WHEN JEN AND I WERE HERE, UH, ORIGINALLY THE, ALL THOSE HOMES AROUND THE LAKE WERE NOT FILLED OUT.

AND THERE WAS BIG FIGHT ABOUT THE ZONING AND PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THE CITY COUNCIL AS ZONE.

MOST OF THE AREA AROUND THE LAKES MULTI-FAMILY THEY TOLD US UNIFORMLY THAT THEY WOULD NOT BUILD UP SINGLE FAMILY.

INDEED.

THEY WENT OUT AND HIRED AN ARCHITECT, AN OUTSIDE ARCHITECT THAT SAID, THERE'S NO WAY THAT THAT AREA ON THE LAKE IS GOING TO BUILD UP SINGLE FAMILY.

AND IT DID PARTIALLY BUILT OUT SINGLE FAMILY.

NOW THE CONSOLE AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING WERE ABLE TO SHOE HOME SHOE ARE ONE APARTMENT IN THE FAR WEST OVER THERE BY MIDWIFE, BUT OUT SINGLE FAMILY.

DESPITE WHAT, WHAT WERE YOU TOLD BY ALL THE EXPERTS I NOTICED WHEN THE QUESTION WAS PUT TO MR. SCHMIDT, HE WAS POLITE AND RESPECTFUL IN HIS ANSWER.

HIS ANSWER WAS TO THE EFFECT ABOUT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE.

THERE ARE POSSIBLE OTHER USES, AND THIS WAS INAPPROPRIATE USE.

IT MAY BE AN INAPPROPRIATE USE, BUT OTHER USES MAY BE APPROPRIATE AS WELL.

OTHER USES THAT DON'T HAVE MORE APARTMENTS AND DELLS.

WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC ISSUE.

IF NUMBERS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY IF I UNDERSTAND IT 400 APARTMENTS AND 30 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 400 APARTMENTS WHERE THE CARS BEING DUMPED OUT ON MIDWAY EVERY MORNING AND EVERY NIGHT ADDITIONAL FOR THIS AT LEAST 400 CARS AND PROBABLY WITH TWO UNITS ARE GOING TO BE MORE THAN FOUR CARS CROWDING OUT ON THE MIDWAY.

FINALLY, I NOTICED, AND IT WAS PASSED OVER.

THERE WERE REQUESTS BY PEOPLE FOR SOME SENIOR HOUSING.

NOW MY WIFE IS YOUNG AND I'M APPROACHING THE USER STATUS.

AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME CONSIDERATIONS FOR SENIOR HOUSING UNITS.

AND WITH THAT, UM, MICHAEL LARRY, LARRY MAY COLD.

WE SHOULD SPEAK TO AN OPPOSITION HERE.

UH, RON WHITEHEAD LIKE SPEAK IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION FOR MR. CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS RON WHITEHEAD.

I HAVE LIVED HERE.

I LIVE AT 4,100 LEGO PLACE, PRESENTLY REMODELING.

ALLEGEDLY MY PERMANENT RESIDENT IS AT 39 19 BOTTLE LANE.

THE STATEMENT, UH, I, BOTH HOMES ARE IN MIDWAY MEADOWS.

I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF MADISON FOR 37 YEARS.

I STAND BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IN FAVOR OF THE REZONING REQUEST BY EMILY PARTNERS.

I WAS A MEMBER OF THE RECENTLY CONSTITUTED SAM'S CLUB, UH, TO COMMITTEE THAT WAS CHARGED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TO LOOK AT THE REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF THE 70 PLUS ACRES OF PROPERTY FACING MIDWAY ROAD, SOUTH OF BELTLINE ROAD, DOWN TO THE GREENVILLE PROPERTY.

THE MAJOR CONCLUSION OF THE COMMITTEE'S WORK WAS THAT THE FORM OF THE DEVELOPMENT WAS AS IMPORTANT.

IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PRESCRIBED USES, THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMITTEE VOTED TO RECOMMEND TO YOU THAT EACH DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ON ITS OWN MERITS AND NOT AUTOMATICALLY REJECTED BASED ON REQUESTED USES WITHOUT CONSIDERING THEIR OVERALL BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY.

THE HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT IN ADDISON DEMONSTRATES THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BUILDING AN URBAN COMMUNITY.

IF YOU CITIES HAVE 80% OF THE TAXES PAID BY COMMERCIAL USES THE AIRPORT AND THE TOLL WAY, ALL THE RESTAURANTS, HOTELS, AND COMMERCIAL OFFICE BUILDINGS ARE HERE BECAUSE OF OUR LOCATION AND MANY INTENTIONAL DECISIONS CITY LEADERS HAVE MADE IN THE PAST WEEK.

WE HAVE SOME TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE HAVE BENEFITED FROM DIVERSE,

[02:25:01]

RELATIVELY DENSE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

WHEN I LOOK BEYOND MYSELF, MY OWN SELF-INTEREST, I REALIZED THAT ADDISON DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE OF THE 200 SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

I TRY TO HAVE A BROADER VIEW OF THE NEEDS OF THE TOWN.

MANY OF YOU KNOW, I WAS OPPOSED TO THE ADDISON GROVE DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE OF THEM WANTING TO TAKE DOWN THE WALL ACCESS BELTWAY AS A CUT-THROUGH FOR BELTLINE, THE LACK OF OPEN SPACE AND THE WAY THE PROJECT WAS LAID OUT.

THE DEVELOPERS SEEM TO THIS DEVELOPER SEEMED TO HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB IN BEING SENSITIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, PROVIDING OPEN SPACE AND THE QUALITY OF THE RESTAURANTS WERE UNITS.

PLUS THEY HAVE A COMMUNITY IN MADISON THAT YOU CAN GO LOOK AT, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEIR QUALITY OF WHAT THEY BUILD IS.

AND ALSO EMILY IS NOT ASKING FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND THEN CENTERS TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY LIKE ADDISON GROVE DID.

AND MANY OF THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM SUPPORTED, UH, THE, UH, ADDISON GROVE DEVELOPMENT, UM, AND NOW ARE OPPOSED TO THIS.

IT'S VERY INTERESTING.

I THINK THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS 70 PLUS ACRES IN THE SAM'S TO STUDY OR CARS THAT DEL COW PROJECT, AND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A REASONABLE LOCATION AND CONFIGURATION FOR SUCH A PROJECT.

I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT THE 70 ACRES WILL REDEVELOP WITHOUT SOME DENSITY THAT MAKES IT WORTH DOING.

IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO GO TO ALL OF THIS EFFORT AND HAVE NOTHING HAPPEN BECAUSE WE ARE HUNG UP ON THE USES AND TOO RESTRICTIVE.

THE FORM OF THE DEVELOPMENT IS THE KEY.

AND REMEMBER, THIS IS 13.5 ACRES AT A 70 PLUS THAT APPLICANTS WILL BE BRINGING TO YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

IT COULD EASILY BE 20 YEAR, A 20 YEAR PROCESS, BUT YOU WANT TO SET A STANDARD FOR THE QUALITY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT FROM THE STAR.

ADDISON GROVE STILL HAS OVER 100 TOWN HOMES TO BE BUILT AND OCCUPY.

THE OLD SUPER EIGHT HOTEL SIDE HAS APPROVAL FOR 30 HOMES.

THIS PROPOSAL SHOWS ANOTHER 30 V SYMBOL AND 14 ROOMS, TOWN HOMES.

I'M SURE THAT THERE WILL BE OTHER REQUESTS FOR FEE SIMPLE TOWN, HOME DEVELOPMENT, UH, AROUND TOWN.

AS PEOPLE LOOK FOR SMALLER INFILL SITES TO BUILD ON, DIDN'T SEE, ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE MORE DEDICATED SPACE FOR PUBLIC USE.

IT ALLOWS A MORE EFFICIENT USE OF THE LIMITED LAND THAT WE HAVE IN ADDISON.

AND IT RECOGNIZES THE URBAN NATURE OF THE COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING FOR 40 YEARS.

I THINK THIS PROJECT MEETS THOSE PARAMETERS AND I AM IN FAVOR OF IT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO, JOHN BURNIE, SPEAKING OPPOSITION.

MY NAME IS JOHN MARNEY.

I LIVE AT 1443 DRIVE LANE, UM, BUT IT'S TO THE TRAIL.

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PROFESSIONAL LIKE THAT, BUT, UH, I JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU KIND OF MY THOUGHTS FROM A LAY PERSON.

WHO'S NOT DONE THIS PROFESSIONALLY.

I THINK THE TIMING OF THIS SEEMS INAPPROPRIATE.

JUST THE FACT THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING ITEM THREE WITH THIS ITEM FOR AS A, AS A LA RESIDENT, THAT JUST SEEMS INAPPROPRIATE.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, UM, THAT WE'RE LETTING A MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT DRIVE THIS PROJECT INSTEAD OF HAVING AND BRINGING OUR BEST IDEAS TO THE TABLE AND GOING FROM THERE, UM, BY REZONING FOR A LOT OF THAT FLEXIBILITY THAT THIS PROVIDES, BUT IT'S, AGAIN, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE LIMITING FLEXIBILITY BY PAINTING THIS BY REZONING THIS IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT REALLY HAVING OUR DUCKS IN A ROW.

UH, MY, MY WIFE WHO'S WITH THE KIDS AT HOME THINGS THAT WE'RE KIND OF BOXING OURSELVES IN AS A NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND I THINK THAT FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE, UM, JUST WITH MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCES.

AND, UM, AS I READ THROUGH THE STUDY THAT WE DID THE SAME STUDY, LIKE IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT WE ARE NOT AS, UH, AS, AS RESIDENCES, I MEAN JUST WERE NOT IN FAVOR OF MULTIFAMILY.

AND SO IT ALSO SEEMS A LITTLE BIT TONE DEAF, UM, TO, TO, TO, TO MAKE THIS THE VERY FIRST THING THAT WE'RE VOTING FOR, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO THANK YOU.

SHANE STANSBURY, UH, SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT.

[02:30:03]

SO I'M DAN STANSBERRY, I'M A RESIDENT OF DALLAS.

I'M PART OF THE OWNERSHIP OF BOSTON, A PARK, A SMALL PART OF THE FIRE.

AND, UH, I WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT 10 AND A HALF YEARS AGO.

WE BOUGHT THIS PROPERTY OUT OF FORECLOSURE.

UH, IT WAS VERY, VERY LITTLE OCCUPANCY.

WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY OVER THE YEARS, IMPROVING PARTS OF THE PROPERTY AND GETTING IT A LITTLE MORE STABLE, BUT 10 AND A HALF YEARS LATER, THE WORLD'S CHANGED AND THERE'S ABOUT 2 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE, SEVEN MIDWAY.

AND WE'RE ALL COMPETING FOR ABOUT 1 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF NEED.

AND THIS FOR SURE IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE, UH, THE ALIEN PROJECT PROJECT.

I WOULD BE RECEIVING THE COST OUT THE WAZOO IF THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER OPTIONS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PARCEL OF LAND IN THIS PARTICULAR SPACE.

SO I'M IN FAVOR OF IT.

UM, OBVIOUSLY, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

ACTUALLY HAVE JOHN PRICE, WHICH IS SPEAKING OPPOSITION.

MY NAME IS JOHN PRICE.

I LIVE IN 41 14 LEADVILLE PLACE, AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE I LIVE.

EVERYBODY WOULD LOOK AT THAT WALL AND LOOK, TURN AROUND AND LOOK THROUGH THE WALL THROUGH THE OUTSIDE WALL AND TURN YOUR HEAD ABOUT 25 DEGREES.

AND YOU SEE THE BACKYARD OF MY FENCE.

THERE ARE 10 HOMES ALONG THAT STRETCH.

WE ALL FACE OFFICE IN THE PARK.

ALL OF THE BACKYARDS ARE SMALL.

I'M ONLY AWARE OF ONE SWIMMING POOL AMONG THE 10.

SO WE'VE HAD PRIVACY IN OUR BACKYARDS.

NOW THERE WILL BE NO PRIVACY BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE TWO STORY TOWNHOMES FACING OUR FANS WITH 113 FEET IN BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE FRONT DOOR.

THE TOWNHOMES SUBTRACT THE A HUNDRED FEET THAT EMILY'S GOING TO DEED TO THE TOWN.

SO WE CAN BUILD AN EXTENSION OF THE JOAQUIN.

VERY OLD, YOU GET 45 FEET, MAYBE ON ONE SIDE OF THE TRAIL, 10 FEET, ANOTHER 45 AND 13.

WE DON'T SEE TYPICALLY OFFICE IN THE PARK BUILDINGS.

WHEN THE TREES HAVE ABUNDANCE OF LEADS, WHEN THERE ARE NO LEAVES FROM MEYER KITCHEN WINDOWS, I CAN SEE SECOND FLOOR WINDOWS IN TWO OF THE OFFICE IN THE PARK BUILDINGS THAT ARE FAR MORE THAN 113 FEET FROM MY BACK.

BEN'S THE CONCERN IS AT A PUBLIC MEETING WAS JUST POPPED UP OUT OF NOWHERE.

THOSE WHO WERE APPARENTLY ON THE INSIDE, UH, AND WE MADE, OR MR. BOWEN MADE COMMENT THAT HE WAS WILLING TO DISCUSS DEALING WITH THE TREES SO THAT THE BIG TREES ON THE OFFICE AND THE PART ARE NOT CUT DOWN BECAUSE THEY ARE MATURE.

THEY DO HAVE SOME BROKEN LIMBS NOW.

AND SO THEY'RE GETTING OLDER.

SO THERE, THE HAND GOES OUT AND THEN HE SAID THAT THEY WOULD TALK ABOUT THAT AND ALSO DISCUSS INSYNC.

WELL, TONIGHT CAN'T SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A COMMITMENT, MR. BOWEN, DIDN'T MAKE A COMMITMENT AT THE MEETING COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT HE DIDN'T MAKE A COMMENT.

AND FOR THAT, I APPRECIATE THAT THEY'RE AT LEAST WILLING TO DISCUSS IT.

I DON'T THINK ANY OF THE SEVEN OF YOU ON THIS COMMISSION WOULD BE WILLING TO LIVE IN A HOME OR BUY A HOME THAT WAS FACING THE SAME KIND OF SITUATION.

US, TIM, US 10 HOMEOWNERS WITH BASICALLY HAVING SORT OF A TRAMPLE BACKYARD LIFE TURNED INTO LORD ONLY KNOWS.

AND I'M NOT REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION, BUT JUST FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD AT ALL OF THE TOWNHOMES, I WILL BE SHOCKED IF YOU TURN DOWN THIS PROPOSAL, WHEN YOU DO PASS IT, I DO HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER IT NOT JUST A REDEVELOPMENT CONCEPT, BUT IT'S JUST FILL IN OF LAND THAT NEEDS TO BE REDEVELOPED BECAUSE THE USER HAS BEEN BEING USED FOR IT IS GONE.

IT WAS SMALL LITTLE OFFICES IN ALL THESE BUILDINGS AND THEY WERE GREAT COMPANIES.

I KNEW A LOT OF THEM IN MY OWN WORK, BUT THEY'RE GONE.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE AND HOPE THAT THE COMMISSION WOULD ENSURE THAT TOWN STAFF INCLUDE ALL OF THE COMMENTS FROM THIS YEAR.

ANY RECOMMENDATIONS, ANY STIPULATIONS THAT YOU WISH TO MAKE, HOPEFULLY INCLUDING THE HANDLING MUST RETAIN THOSE TALL TREES.

AND IN ADDITION, CONSIDER FUNDING IN FULL OR IN PART

[02:35:01]

NEW FENCING SO THAT THERE IS CONSISTENT FENCING ALL ACROSS THE 10 HOMES, WHICH I THINK WOULD BE A SELLING POINT AND A NICE LOOK FOR ANY POTENTIAL BUYER OF THOSE 22 TOWNHOMES.

AND LET ME ADD BY ADDING ONE OF THE THINGS I SHOULD HAVE ADDED, I THINK IT WAS EITHER LAST OR THE NEXT TO THE LAST MEETING OF THE LATEST STUDY COMMITTEE I HAD ADDRESSED, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE TO ADDRESS THE POINT ABOUT LOSING PRIVACY, THE BACKYARD, AND ALL THAT.

AND RON WHITE ED, FORMER CITY MANAGER, WHO SPOKE UP DURING THAT MEETING.

AND HE SAID SOMETHING TO THE THING THAT HE THOUGHT THAT THAT OUGHT TO BE GIVEN CONSIDERATION BY THE STUDY COMMITTEE.

I DIDN'T THANK HIM AT THE TIME BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET TO HIM AT THE TIME AT THE MEETING, BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU NOW FOR A SEGMENT.

THANK YOU, RON.

THANK YOU, JOHN.

I'M GOING TO ASK HIM A QUESTION.

DO YOU HAVE AN HOA? YES.

WE DO HAVE AN HOA.

THERE ARE 104 HOMES AND WE HAVE THE 10 ALONG THE BACK HERE ARE 10 OF THE 104.

AND, UH, IS THAT THE ONE? IS THAT WHEN WE WENT TO EMILY'S TALKING TO, WELL, I, THE WORD I USED WAS CONTRIBUTION, UM, CONTRIBUTION SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY SMALL WORD WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT REBUILDING A FENCE.

CAUSE I DID THAT ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, AND THEN YOU ALSO USED THE WORD REIMBURSEMENT.

I'M GOING OKAY.

BUT THAT'S A DISCUSSION.

I THINK MORE SO FOR THE HOA TO HAVE, BECAUSE WE'RE ALL INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS.

AND I THINK THERE ARE TWO HOUSES OF THE 10.

I KNOW ONE, I THINK THERE ARE TWO THAT HAD HAD GATES FOR A LONG TIME TO COME OUT IN THE PARKING LOT OF OFFICE IN THE PARK.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYBODY WANT TO TRADE PLACES WITH US? I DIDN'T THINK SO.

THE PLANE, THE PLANE CRASHED INTO CHRIST TWO HOURS IN CHRIST INTO HER IN 1997.

AND THEY SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT AND HAD TO MOVE OUT AND HAD TO REBUILD ABOUT A THIRD OF THE HOUSE.

AND IT WAS A FREAKING NIGHTMARE.

THANK YOU, JOHN.

UH, WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK INTO THE FOLKS WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT BOTH TOPICS.

UM, SO WE'RE IN THE FIRST TIME YOU GOT UP, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE COVERED THE ARMY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK THROUGH THE STATE OF VIRGINIA.

WAIT, JENNA, YOU WANTED TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS OR GET ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.

WILLISON 4,100 JULLIARD DRIVE.

KATHY MORRIS DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK, UH, BUT SHE WAS OPPOSED TO BOTH ITEMS THREE AND FOUR, UH, MARLIN.

DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS JOB? THANK YOU, MARLON.

UM, THE THOUGHT I'D HAVE, I'M JUST GONNA, IT'S A SIMILAR THOUGHT TO BEFORE, BUT IF THIS GETS APPROVED, I WOULD HOPE THE COMMISSION WOULD APPROVE IT WITHOUT A CUT-THROUGH STREET.

JUST LIKE WE DID IN THE PAST WITH ADAMSON GROW.

THIS IS NO DIFFERENT.

THANK YOU, DAVID COLLINS.

DO YOU WISH TO ADD ANY MORE COMMENTS? UH, RON WAL-MART YOU WISH TO ADD ANY MORE COMMENTS BURKHOLDER? YOU WISH TO ADD ANY MORE COMMENTS PLEASE? CASPER.

I AM A JAMES BURKE BARK HALTER.

I LIVE AT 38, 24 WATERFORD DRIVE.

AND AFTER 29 YEARS WITH MY WIFE, NANCY, WE JUST CELEBRATED OUR 65TH.

RIGHT? I WANT TO COMMENT TO YOU.

UH, WE DON'T DISLIKE RENTERS.

I LIKE YOU AND I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER FRIENDS I'VE LIVE IN

[02:40:01]

YOUR APARTMENT COMPLEX DOWN THERE.

THERE WERE VERY CLOSE FRIENDS.

IT'S NOT THE RENTERS.

IT'S A TRAFFIC AND AMWAY.

YOU GUYS PRESENTED A WONDERFUL PRO, BUT I AM BRILLIANT AT THIS POINT.

SO HAPPY THAT I'M NOT LIVING IN YOUR COMPLEX OVER THERE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL, BUT I'D HATE TO LIVE THERE AND TRY AND GO TO WORK AT EIGHT 30 IN THE MORNING, COME HOME FOUR 30 IN THE AFTERNOON AND MAKE THAT TURN OFF OF MIDWAY.

I DON'T KNOW.

HAVE YOU HAD TRAFFIC STUDIES ON THAT? I KNOW I'M NOT GOING TO ASK QUESTIONS NOW, BUT JUST OPPOSING, OPPOSING A QUESTION.

THAT'S A RHETORICAL QUESTION.

ANOTHER THING THAT HAS BOTHERED US AND, AND WHEN, WHEN WE MOVED TO DALLAS COUNTY, TELL ME FOR THREE MINUTES, PLEASE.

UH, WOULD WE BOTH HAVE DALLAS COUNTY? THERE WAS A VACANT LOT.

THERE'S SEVERAL BANKER LIVES ABOUT A BLOCK FROM OUR HOUSE.

AND WHEN WE MOVED IN, WE ASKED AND WE ASKED BEFORE, WHAT'S HE GOING TO BE IN THIS? WELL, THE ZONING HADN'T BEEN DETERMINED ON IT YET.

WE MOVED IN ABOUT A YEAR LATER, UNBEKNOWNST TO US.

UH, THEY START BUILDING APARTMENT.

SO WE JUST KIND OF ALL GOT TOGETHER UNOFFICIALLY AND WENT TO THE BUILDER OR THE DEVELOPER AND TRIED TO TELL HIM THAT WE DIDN'T WANT APARTMENTS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND HE SAID, I'M SORRY, THE ZONING'S ALREADY DONE.

THIS ONE IS 19 60, 19 61.

THE PEOPLE WERE THAT MOVED INTO THE RENTERS.

THEY, THEY WEREN'T IN THE SAME, UH, SALARY CATEGORY.

YOUR, YOUR PEOPLE ARE, IT GOES, THAT WAS MANY YEARS AGO.

NUMBER ONE, BUT $150,000.

HE WAS GOING TO BE, LET ME GET BACK TO THAT STUFF.

ANYWAY, THE PEOPLE MOVED IN THE APARTMENT STAFF.

THEY DIDN'T PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVITIES.

THEY DIDN'T VOTE.

THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, BUT CAUSE A LOT OF NOISE.

NOW THIS WAS LONG YEARS AGO.

I'M NOT INFERRING.

THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR PROJECT.

PLEASE BELIEVE ME.

I WANT TO FAST FORWARD 20 YEARS, WE MOVED OUT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD INTO THE CITY OF DALLAS IN 1982.

AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW AT THAT TIME I'M NOT A, A REALTOR.

I'M NOT A LAWYER, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BUILDER.

BUT WHEN WE MOVED OUT, IT WAS NOTHING WAS SWAMPS.

AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT YOUR, YOUR METHOD OF OPERATION.

I KNOW THAT, BUT I'M JUST SAYING IT, THERE ARE OTHER APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN THE CITY OF ADDISON THAT COULD BE IN THAT CATEGORY.

NOW ONE I CAN UNDERSTAND THE FACT, I JUST TOLD BILL COMING OVER HERE.

HE'S MY, HE'S MY BULLDOG LAWYER.

AND I ASKED HIM COMING OVER.

I SAID, BILL, LET ME POSE A QUESTION TO YOU.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO POSE THIS TO THE GROUP.

WHAT IS THE ABC CONSTRUCTION COMPANY BUILT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND THEY'VE HAD IT FOR 15 YEARS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SOMEBODY COOKS THE BOOKS AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

SO THE APARTMENT BUILDING IS NOW UP FOR SALE.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S LET'S LET'S ASSUME THE CITY OF ADDISON SAYS, YOU KNOW, THAT'D BE A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR US SO THEY CAN GO TO THE GOVERNMENT AND THEY SAID, MR. GOVERNMENT, WOULD YOU FLOAT ME ALONE FOR THE ABC APARTMENT BUILDING? ISN'T SURE WE'LL TALK TO YOU.

WE'LL FLOAT YOU ALONG FOR THAT, BUT IT'S GOTTA BE SECTION EIGHT.

SHE'S GOING TO BE LOWER INCOME.

THAT COULDN'T HAPPEN THEORETICALLY IN THE CITY OF ACTION.

I'M JUST SAYING, WATCH FOR THIS COUNCIL, YOUR COUNCIL PERSON.

I DON'T KNOW WHO MANY, HOW MANY OTHER COUNCIL PEOPLE PAUL JUST GOT OFF, BUT I'M SAYING THAT THE PRESENT AND FUTURE COUNCIL PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THESE APARTMENT BUILDINGS THAT ARE IN THE CITY BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING DOWNHILL FAST.

SOME OF THEM ARE, AND YOU KNOW WHICH ONES I'M TALKING ABOUT.

NORMALLY ANOTHER THING, ONE QUICK THING.

UH, ALL THE, UH, ALL THE, UH, SENIOR HOUSING, THERE IS NO SENIOR HOUSING IN THE CITY.

YOU MENTIONED SENIOR HOUSING IN THIS, IN THIS PROPERTY, BUT YOU ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE INCOME LEVEL FOR THE PROPERTY IS $150,000.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND MANY OF SENIOR CITIZENS LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE

[02:45:01]

INTO THOSE APARTMENTS.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT THE CITY OR SOMEBODY HEAVILY OR K J KPI, WHOEVER SHOULD THINK ABOUT SO LOW RENT, SENIOR HOUSING FOR THE OLDER FOLKS, ME, WE, WE CAN'T LIVE IN OUR HOUSE FOREVER.

WE'RE GOING TO STAY THERE AS LONG AS WE CAN, BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE COME TO A TIE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES.

AND WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY TO FEED US, TAKE CARE OF THE BUILDING.

AND THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THAT.

AND THAT IS, THAT'S THE REASON THAT THE BIG COMPLEX, I DON'T CALL IT ROAD.

AND GEORGE BUSH KEEPS BUILDING BUILDINGS OUT THERE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW IT MADE IT, ARRESTED HIM TO HIM, BUT I KNOW OF PROBABLY EIGHT RESIDENTS HERE IN OUR, IN THE, UH, BROOKE KAGAN ADDISON AREA THAT HAVE MOVED OUT THERE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE, BUT THEY HAD TO MOVE OUT THERE BECAUSE THERE'S NO PLACE HERE FOR THEM TO MOVE.

AND IT'S JUST, IT'S REALLY KIND OF SAD.

I MEAN, I'M NOT GOING TO BE HERE MUCH LONGER.

I HOPE TO BE AS LONG AS I CAN.

I HOPE I LIVE MY WIFE ANYWAY, BUT THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME.

AND I THINK MY FIVE MINUTES ARE UP I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU DID, BUT IT WAS THREE YEARS AS YOU WISH TO ADD ANY COMMENTS TO THIS PROJECT.

PAUL, YOU STILL HERE.

UM, AGAIN, PAUL WALDEN, 14, 8, 6, THE GRAND, SEVERAL YEARS AGO, MYSELF AND THREE OF MY NEIGHBORS, RON WHITEHEAD, NANCY CRAIG, AND DMO.

KIDZANIA STOOD IN A CRUMMY OLD APART, A CRUMMY OLD ABANDONED OFFICE PARKING LOT.

AND WE STOOD THERE AND WE LOOKED AROUND AND WE SAID, WHAT IF, WHAT IF, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE THAT IF WE COULD HAVE EVERYTHING WE WANTED THAT I REALLY WOULDN'T CARE? WHAT WAS BACK THERE? WHAT WOULD HE TAKE? AND SO WE THOUGHT ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE, OKAY, WELL, HOW ABOUT A SIGNIFICANT GREEN BUFFER? AND WE THOUGHT, OKAY, WELL HOW, HOW, HOW WIDE DOES THAT NEED TO BE? AND GQ BEING THE ENGINEER THAT HE IS RUNS BACK TO HIS HOUSE, WHICH IS ONE OF THESE OVER HERE IN, IN, IN IT, RIGHT? THAT BACKS UP TO THAT AND PUTS THAT AS TAPE HUNDRED FEET.

IT'S A LONG DISTANCE.

IT'S A REAL LONG DISTANCE.

AND SO I SAID, OKAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED FEET, THAT'S, THAT'S A GOOD, GOOD LOG, GOOD EVEN NUMBER.

AND WE COULD EXTEND THAT COMING RIGHT OFF OF THE REDDING TRAIL.

AND WE COULD DO THAT, THE ENTIRE LENGTH ALL THE WAY UP TO BELTWAY.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT, FOR THE REST OF, OF, OF ETERNITY MIDWAY MODEMS WOULD BE SECURE NO MATTER WHAT THEY PUT THERE, BECAUSE WE NEVER SEEN THEM NOW, TAYLOR, IN HIS RESPECT FOR OUR TIME AND TRYING TO, TO, TO, UH, BE CONCISE, SKIPPED OVER A, UM, UH, A GRAPHIC THAT SHOWED THE SIGHT LINE.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, THERE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, WE HAVE PHYSICS ON OUR SIDE HERE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE ANYTHING.

JOHN'S NOT GOING TO SEE A THING, NOT ONE THING FROM HIS BACKYARD.

SO YEAH, BUT YOU WON'T BECAUSE THE PHYSICS SAY YOU WON'T, AND YOU CAN SAY ALL THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT THE FACTS.

AND I WANT US TO STICK TO THE FACTS.

I MEAN, $51,000, WHAT PEOPLE PAY, WHAT THEY EARN.

AND ARE, Y'ALL HAVE SEEN ALL THAT COMMISSIONERS.

AND YOU KNOW THAT, AND KEN HAS TALKED ABOUT THAT AND THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

YOU HAVE TO BASE YOUR DECISION ON FACTS AND WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THIS ENTIRE PROJECT RELATIVE TO THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY AND RELATIVE TO THE REST OF IT, OF THE, OF THE ENTIRE 70 ACRE PROP, A PARCEL YEAR, AND THE VALUE TO MIDWAY MEADOWS, WHERE I LIVE, THIS THING IS PRECIOUS TO ME.

AND IT'S PRECIOUS TO EVERYBODY WHO LIVES THERE.

AND I'M TELLING YOU GUYS, YOU WE'VE GOT TO GET PAST THIS.

ALL APARTMENTS ARE BAD.

WE JUST HAVE TO GET PAST THAT.

THIS IS NOT THE APARTMENTS OF THE FIFTIES OR THE SIXTIES OR THE SEVENTIES OR THE EIGHTIES OR THE NINETIES.

IT'S JUST NOT.

AND YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THAT PARADIGM BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT THE TRUTH.

[02:50:01]

THOSE AREN'T CRIMINALS.

THOSE AREN'T MARGINALIZED PEOPLE.

THOSE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD A HOUSE.

SO IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE THIS LIFESTYLE.

AND THAT'S JUST THE FACT.

AND SO WE GOT TO JUST OPEN OUR EYES AND BE FACTUAL HERE AND UNDERSTAND THIS.

SO I DON'T FEAR THIS.

AND EMILY, IT'S A KNOWN QUANTITY THAT THE COUNCIL TRUSTED TO BE THE DEVELOPER FOR THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT.

THEY DID A GREAT JOB IN ADDISON, GREW UP IN EDISON CIRCLE AND HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING, BUT WHAT WE'VE ASKED THEM TO DO PLUS EVERYTHING ELSE, THEY HAVE ADDED A FEE SIMPLE COMPONENT TO THIS.

THEY'VE ADDED A, A S A SENIOR COMPONENT TO THIS AND, AND THE TRAFFIC DOESN'T DOESN'T IMPACT THAT IT'S GOING TO BE QUIETER IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH, WITH THE HALL, WITH THE BUILDINGS HERE, SHIELDING MIDWAY ROAD.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL PROJECT.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT.

AND IT, IT DESERVES THE APPROVAL OF THE COMMISSION, UH, BASED UPON THAT BACK.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

WE HAVE, UH, ROBERT JACOBY.

DID YOU WISH TO IN COMMON, UH, THANKS FOR EVERYBODY IN THEIR COMMENTS, ROBERT JACOBI 4 0 1 6 RIDE LANE FOR ABOUT 20 SOME YEARS.

UM, THE PROJECT IS AGGRESSIVE.

IT'S WELL PLANNED OUT YET.

IT JUST SEEMS TO BE, I QUESTION WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER THIS IS DAR IS THE REST OF THE SAM'S CLUB GOING TO BE RETAIL, OR IT COULD BE MORE APARTMENTS, SHOULD ASK SOME CHANGES, NAME TO PARK, A TOWN USA.

I THINK SO.

HOW PART OF TOWN USA SOUNDS GOOD TO ME? I'M TIRED OF IT.

I FIND IT RICH THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM.

UH, I THINK ROBERT, AS A, AS A COMMISSIONER, YOU, I THINK YOU CALLED AS SOME GROVES AND MONSTROSITY ONCE I THINK I REMEMBER THAT.

OKAY, WELL MAYBE CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE.

AND I THINK, UM, UH, TO OUR FRIENDS, RON AND CHRIS, I KNOW YOU CAMPAIGN HEAVILY AGAINST STATUS AND GROVES SAYING IT WAS A MONSTROSITY.

YOU HAVE APARTMENTS, OF COURSE, ON THE BELTLINE.

BELTLINE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN MIDWAY.

THIS IS RIGHT IN OUR FRONT DOOR FOR ALL THOSE IN MY LOCKS.

SO I WISH THERE WERE MORE TOWNHOMES.

I GET THE IDEA, BUT WE DEALT WITH REDEVELOPING AND WE'RE STILL, WE'RE MORE OWNER TOWNHOMES.

I THINK THAT THAT MEANS A DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND IF THERE'S MORE DEVELOPMENT UP AND DOWN THE STRIP, I HOPE THERE WERE TOWNHOMES.

MAYBE IT WAS SOME RETAIL FRONT BECAUSE IT'S A, IT'S A DIFFERENT PERSON.

AND, UM, I DUNNO, APARTMENT TELLING YOU A SAY.

SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD.

PAUL SPENCER, CHIEF OF POLICE.

LAST ONE.

AND RODNEY FLETCHER, DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? THERE WERE A NUMBER OF LETTERS SENT IN.

I'M JUST GONNA PUT THESE BRIEFLY INTO THE RECORD.

JUST ASK ONE QUESTION.

IT'S NOT A QUESTION ON OUR ETHICAL QUESTION.

HAS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BEEN A HOLD ON ANY OF THIS NAME AND ADDRESS, TELL YOU ABOUT A CHESKY 1, 4, 6 1, 2 HERITAGE LANE, UM, RIGHT OFF OF PROTON.

SO THIS IS KIND OF IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I'M JUST KINDA CURIOUS IS WHAT KIND OF, UH, ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN ON CRIME WITH THE ADDITION OF ALL THESE APARTMENTS? BECAUSE I KNOW DOWN IN THE TRIBUNE, THE CRIME RATE HAS KIND OF GONE UP AND I'M JUST WONDERING, HAS A POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD ANY INPUT ON THIS? IS THERE A REQUIREMENT FOR MORE POLICE OFFICERS TO BE PUT INTO THIS? I THINK THOSE, THAT THAT'S A CONCERN THAT WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT.

YES, SIR.

UH, SO WE WORKED WITH THE TOWN MANAGEMENT ON A CONSTANT BASIS TO ASSESS NOT ONLY OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE, BUT RESPONSE TIMES AND ALL THE METRICS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES, ADDISON, UM, CHANGE YOUR QUESTION DIRECTLY.

I HAVE NOT PERSONALLY BEEN IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH, WITH OUR TOWN MANAGEMENT ABOUT THIS ONE ISSUE, BUT FOR THE WHOLE TOWN, WHICH IS WHAT I'M CONCERNED WITH ON A DAILY BASIS.

UH, WE WERE IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH TOWN MANAGEMENT WITH CAN REST OF THE TEAM, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AS WELL, OR ANNUAL REPORT.

UH, ANOTHER THING.

SO DOES ANDREW QUESTION, I JUST LOVE HER ENGAGE IF WE HAVE A ADDRESS AT THIS TIME.

MULTIFAMILY HOUSING AND OUR UNIQUE MIX OF HOUSING, OUR SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING IS KNOWN FOR BEING, UM, MEDIUM TO HIGH DENSITY.

CAN YOU, AND JUST GIVE A FIVE MINUTES OF DEPARTMENTS WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A REQUEST.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION FIRST QUICK QUESTION.

WHAT'S THE AVERAGE SETBACK FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND ADDISON TO THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK.

THAT IS A, THAT'S ACTUALLY A DIFFICULT QUESTION.

SO ADDISON, UH, WHILE WE ARE KNOWN FOR OUR

[02:55:01]

WE DO ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN, UM, LOTS THAT ARE VERY LARGE, BUT HERE ON THE WEST SIDE, COMPARED TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT HERE, IT'S KIND OF ADJOINING, I MEAN, MIDWAY MEADOWS, WHATEVER OVER HERE, IT WOULD BE MEDIUM DENSITY, UH, PROBABLY A LITTLE HIGHER DENSITY THAN TYPICAL SUBURBAN SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

UM, SO 20 SMALLER, LOTS, 20 TO 25 FEET, 20 TO 30 FEET.

SO FOR A PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY FOR PEOPLE TO WALK BY MY HOUSE EVERY DAY, AND THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE HOW MUCH VARIANCE TO THE SIDEWALK OF THE TRAIL SYSTEM FOR THEIR BACKYARD.

SO THE TRAIL SHOULD GENERALLY BE CENTERED IN THAT HUNDRED FOOT BUFFER.

SO YOU'LL HAVE GENERALLY 45 TO 50 FEET BETWEEN THE TRAIL AND OKAY.

SORT OF IN GENERAL, PROBABLY MORE THAN I WOULD IN A SAFE FAMILY.

SO IT SHOULD BE JUST REAL QUICK, THE NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN WHEN AN PAGE ONLY REQUEST.

SURE.

SO ONE THING I DIDN'T MENTION IN MY PRESENTATION, BUT WE HAVE A, AND WE PUT TOGETHER A DOCUMENT THAT WE INCLUDED IN THE PNC PANIC.

IT, UH, WE, WE GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOUSING.

UM, AND SO WE DID AN FAQ DOCUMENT THAT ADDRESSES A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS.

AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS.

SO WE HAVE SOMETHING CALLED A DRC DEVELOPER U COMMITTEE.

UM, SO YOU HAVE CORE MEMBERS THAT ARE VERY INVOLVED IN THE DETAILED REVIEW.

UH, OBVIOUSLY PLANNING, ENGINEERING, UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH BUILDING INSPECTIONS, BUT WE ALSO INVITE, UH, PAUL AND HIS TEAM TO PARTICIPATE, WHICH THEY DO OBSERVE.

THEY DON'T HAVE AS LARGE OF A ROLE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT DOING THE TECHNICAL REVIEW TYPICALLY, BUT WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE MULTIDISCIPLINARY DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH MANY ITERATIONS OF REVIEW ON A TYPICAL PROJECT.

UM, ONE THING I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT I WAS QUITE PROUD OF WITH THIS AREA.

THE FIRST PROJECT IS NOT THIS MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS.

THE FIRST PROJECT IN THE SAM'S CLUB STUDY AREA WAS A FEE SIMPLE IN FULL-TIME HOME PROJECT CALLED COLDWELL HOMES AT THE SUPER EIGHT MOTEL SITE, 31 FEE SIMPLE TOWN HOMES.

THAT WAS A GREAT PROJECT TO SEE APPROVED.

I THINK WE'LL SEE MORE DEVELOPMENT LIKE THAT IN THE SAM'S CLUB AREA.

I DO BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE DEVELOPMENT LIKE THAT PERSONS MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT IN THE SAM'S CLUB AREA.

NOW I WAS READING THOSE, WE, AS IT SAID, WE MENTIONED, WE GOT A BUNCH OF LETTERS, EMAILS, UH, THESE, WE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE TOMORROW, BUT JUST VERY QUICKLY FROM DAN WARE AND RANDY BIRDS, THEY WERE OPPOSED TO BEYOND, UH, WE HAVE FROM CARLOS.

SO, UH, ALSO REPOSE BECAUSE AGAIN OF THIS CONCERN OF A CONNECTOR ROAD TO PROTON, UM, WE HAVE DEBRA MORGAN WHO WAS ASKED WHAT'S THE RUSH TO APPROVE THIS PROJECT.

UM, AND SHE HAD A LIKELY EMAIL.

AND THEN THERE'S A SERIES OF FORM LETTERS FROM FIVE OR SIX RESIDENTS, UM, THAT, UH, INDICATED THEY DID NOT THINK THAT THE TOWN WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN RON, SCHOEMAKER AGAIN, THE CUT-THROUGH ROAD AND CIRCUMSTANCE.

SO THE FULL LETTERS AND EMAILS WILL BE POSTED ON WEBSITE TOMORROW.

FOR THOSE THINK YOU CAN TWO THINGS REAL QUICK TOO.

CAN YOU KIND OF SPEAK TO HER? A LOT OF PEOPLE, COMMENT ON TIMING, AND NOW THEY TAILOR THAT INTO HIS PRESENTATION ON THIS ONE AS TO HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING WITH EMILY AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH HOW LONG THE SAMS GROUP HAS BEEN REVIEWING ALL THIS AND GIVE EVERYBODY A FEEL FOR THIS.

THIS ISN'T JUST LIKE SOMETHING SURPRISE, WHICH SO AT THE, AT THE START OF THIS PROJECT, WHEN WE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL, WE NOTED THAT THERE IS DEVELOPMENT INTEREST IN THIS AREA.

WE IDENTIFIED THE SUPER EIGHT MOTEL, WHICH WE SAW WAS COLDWELL HOMES.

AND WE IDENTIFIED OFFICE IN THE PARK, WHICH WAS EMILY'S INTERESTS, THEIR INTERESTS IN THIS PROJECT PREDATED MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE TOWN ON AUGUST 1ST, I'LL HAVE 18 MONTHS WITH THE TALENT.

SO THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT, UH, FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

AND THAT YOU WOULDN'T DO, UNLESS YOU KNEW WHAT WAS DEVELOPING ADJACENT TO IT.

JUST TO BE CLEAR WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT JUST DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COPY OF THE ANALYSIS, CORRECT? YEAH.

THERE'S NONE.

THERE'S NO NOTHING ON DESIGN, NOTHING FOR SEEN AS FAR AS ANY SORT OF CUT-THROUGH DRIVE WITHIN THE INTERIOR THAT IS TO PROTON OR HORNET OR ANYWHERE ELSE.

THE ONLY THING IT SAYS ON THEIR PLAN IS, AND IT DOESN'T SHOW A CONNECTION THAT SAYS IF DESIRED BY THE TOWN TO CONNECT

[03:00:01]

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS INCOMPATIBLE.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT CONNECTION.

I JUST HAVE A LOGISTIC QUESTION.

I GUESS IT'S LOGISTICS.

UM, THE CHANNEL'S BEEN WORKING ON ME FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR AND A HALF, TWO YEARS.

UM, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF, OF JUST VERY, VERY RECENT NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS.

UM, DO YOU THINK THE STAFF AS WELL, NORMALLY HAS HAD ADEQUATE TIME TO DIGEST ALL THE VARIOUS COMMENTS THAT HAVE COME IN AND EVEN SOME MORE HERE TONIGHT THAT IF THIS IS APPROVED TONIGHT, THAT YOU WOULD STILL HAVE TIME TO INCORPORATE BEFORE THEY HAVE TO GO OUT FOR KIDS FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE? I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IF THE COMMISSION WERE TO APPROVE THIS, THEY CONTINUE TO WORK TO ADDRESS THE FEEDBACK THAT THEY CAN ADDRESS THAT WAS RECEIVED TONIGHT.

UM, AND FROM ANY FEEDBACK, THE COMMISSION GETS AS THEY PREPARE TO GO TO COUNCIL, UM, YOU WANT TO, UH, REALLY PIN DOWN THOSE ISSUES, UH, BEFORE THEY GET INTO BIDS, BECAUSE IT WILL ULTIMATELY IMPACT THE FULL DESIGN OF THEIR PROJECTS.

SO I THINK THEY HAVE THE TIME, BUT I THINK THEY NEED TO PUT IN A LOT OF WORK TO, UH, RESPOND TO AS MUCH FEEDBACK AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN WITH THE PROJECT.

IF THIS DOES MOVE FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL AS A CITY COUNCIL TIMING, IF THIS IS APPROVED TONIGHT, TYPICALLY THESE SHOW UP IN TWO TO THREE WEEKS TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, UH, W WOULD, IS THERE ANY DOWNSIDE TO WAITING TO A SECOND COUNCIL MEETING AND SAY SIX WEEKS FROM NOW THAT ORIGIN ENSURE ALL THESE COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE, ARE PROVIDED TO COUNCIL FROM A STAFF STANDPOINT THERE ISN'T, BUT I WOULD DEFER TO THE APPLICANT ON THAT THEY MAY HAVE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS THAT MAY MAKE THAT CHALLENGING, BUT YEAH.

CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT ISSUE? SO I CAN SAY WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF.

AND WHEN WE ORIGINALLY APPROACHED STAFF, EVEN KEN'S PREDECESSOR PLANNING, UH, WE WERE ASKED TO STAND DOWN AND LET'S GO THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD STUDY AND LET'S SEE HOW THAT PLAN ADVANCES.

AND WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF TALK TONIGHT ABOUT THAT IT'S, IT IS NOT A PRESCRIPTIVE CODE, BUT THAT IS FINDING THE IDEALS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE BUFFER, THE HEIGHTS USES NO ROAD CAN ACTIONS TO INCORPORATE IN OUR PLAN, WHICH WE HAVE DONE.

WE'VE ALSO INCORPORATED, UH, INFORMATION AS WE HEARD FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS.

AND WE'RE PREPARED TO MOVE FORWARD, CONTINUING TO, WITH OUR COMMITMENT GUARANTEE, TO WORKING WITH THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS ADJACENT TO US TO ADDRESS THE FENCES.

THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE ABOUT THE TREES BEING REMOVED.

WE ABSOLUTELY HAD BEEN WORKING WITH, UH, PARKS DEPARTMENT AND, UH, AND THE ARBORIST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A COHESIVE GREAT TREE MITIGATION PLAN, WHICH HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY THOUGHT THROUGH.

WE DO HAVE A NOTE ON HERE ABOUT THE CONNECTION TO THE DRIVES, BUT THAT IS SIMPLY A NOTE I'M HEARING LOUD AND CLEAR THAT YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT REMOVED.

THAT'S FAIR.

THAT'S EASY.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.

WE HAVE A GREAT STUDY.

YOU'VE HEARD THE RESULTS, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY ARE.

SO I'M LOOKING FOR MORE SUGGESTIONS.

WE CHANGED AND FIXED THE ADDRESS, THE ARCHITECTURE THAT WE THOUGHT COULD BE EVEN MORE PROMINENT ON MIDWAY.

AND AGAIN, I'M HEARING, UM, OTHER THAN THE USE ABOUT APARTMENTS, I CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR MORE THINGS TO TRY AND DO TO MAKE THIS PROJECT BETTER.

I THINK WE'VE ADDRESSED.

I WAS GETTING AT IS LIKING LATER.

I'M NOT THERE YET.

WE DO HAVE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.

THAT IS THE ISSUE.

WE HAVE TWO SITES THAT WE'VE ASSEMBLED PUT TOGETHER HERE, UH, THAT I NEED TO KEEP TOGETHER.

WE WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED WHERE I'M ASKING YOU TO PROCEED ON SCHEDULE.

DO YOU WISH TO MAKE A COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE.

MY NAME IS JIMMY MARKER.

I LIVE AT 49 0 5 RYAN LANE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, I TOOK THE TIME TO TOUR THE AMBULANT PROJECT, UH, THIS WEEK, UH, AND JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE FOR OR AGAINST IT.

UM, THE FAMILY HAS AN EXCELLENT TEAM.

THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE AN EXCELLENT PARTNER WITH US DOWN, UH, IF IT'S APPROVED.

UM, I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT THE TREE HOUSE AREA, IT REALLY NEEDS SOME IMPROVEMENT.

UH, SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN HERE.

AND I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT POTENTIALLY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INCREASE OR ENCOURAGE NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA WHERE IT'S

[03:05:01]

NEEDED.

UM, AND AGAIN, I THINK WE ALL CAN AGREE TO THAT AS IT RELATES TO THE, TO THE, UH, THE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED, I THINK LAST JUNE IN SEPTEMBER ABS, UM, THERE WERE 178 RESPONDENTS, I BELIEVE, AND OF THOSE HUNDRED AND 78 ONLY ONE PERSON THOUGHT THAT THIS AREA IN PARTICULAR FOR THE TREE HOUSE WAS APPROPRIATE FOR, FOR HIGH DENSITY.

NOW, THAT BEING SAID, ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE HIGHER NUMBERS, UM, WAS FOR MEDIUM DENSITY, YOU KNOW, FEE SIMPLE PROPERTIES.

UH, THE OTHER ONE WAS FOR AN ACTIVE SENIOR COMMUNITY.

AND I'VE HEARD FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THAT.

I UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL COMPLICATIONS INVOLVED W WITH THE LADDER.

UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT ALSO, UM, JUST WANTED TO SAY, UH, TAILORED, YOU WERE ASKING, I'M LOOKING FOR IDEAS.

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? I HAVE A SUGGESTION, A COMPROMISE, UM, THAT MAYBE WILL MAKE SOME PEOPLE HAPPY.

AND THAT IS, YOU'VE GOT THE EXTRA 14 TOWNHOMES SITTING OVER THERE FOR RENT.

WHAT IF WE MADE THOSE THE FEE SYMBOL HOMES AS WELL, INCREASED OUR NUMBER AND IT MAKES IT MORE PEOPLE HAVE IN OUR TOWN.

AND I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO, TO ALL OF US TO COME TOGETHER IS, IS A COMPROMISE.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S A HUGE ASK, BUT I'M NOT A NUMBERS GUY.

I'LL LEAVE THAT UP TO YOU.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT IN THE RECORD THAT, THAT I THINK IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD SHOW A WILLINGNESS FROM YOU GUYS TO, TO MEET US HALFWAY, KNOWING THAT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE AGAINST IT.

UM, DON'T WANNA PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT, BUT AGAIN, JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE.

I THINK IT WOULD SHOW A GOOD COMPROMISE, UH, FOR US TO COME TOGETHER AND MEET AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO MAYBE MORE PEOPLE BE HAPPY THAT ARE AGAINST IT.

UM, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

TAYLOR, DO YOU WANT TO COME UM, WE, WE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE REQUEST.

IT'S MY QUESTION.

BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.

UH, IT IS REALLY A PROCEDURAL THING, BUT THE RECOMMENDATION AND HOW THAT'S DONE AND DOES THAT CARRY FORWARD TO COUNCIL? IF YOU'RE ASKING THAT THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE THAT WILL BE MADE AND CAN WE CONSIDER MAKING THESE RENTAL TOWNHOMES PART OF THE, FOR SALE? I ASKED THAT YOU JUST PUT THAT IN YOUR RECOMMENDATION.

HOWEVER, THE COMMITTEE WANTS TO, I, I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THOSE OBVIOUSLY IS RENTAL TOWNHOMES, AND HERE'S THE REASON WHY WE CONTROL.

WE ABSOLUTELY KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE LIVING THERE.

IT HELPS US ADDRESS THIS MISSING MIDDLE.

AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO OUR COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE EXPERIENCING, WE EXPERIENCE MANAGING TOWNHOMES LIKE THIS.

WE HAVE SEVERAL COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE TOWNHOME COMPONENTS THAT WE THINK WILL BE A REAL POSITIVE.

IF YOUR DESIRE IS TO HAVE THOSE, PLEASE MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION AS YOU SEE FIT WITH THOSE.

AND WE WILL ABSOLUTELY CARRY IT ONTO COUNCIL.

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF IT'S FEE SIMPLE FOR THE RENTAL TOWNHOMES ARE FINE TO COUNSEL AND MAKE OURS TAYLOR, DOES IT CHANGE THE PRICE POINTS FOR THAT? AND IN THE MATH, YOU CAN LEARN ALL THOSE OTHER 14 POUNDS.

SO, UM, TAYLOR THOUGH, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SENIOR HOUSING.

UM, AND I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE OFFICIALS IN YOUR HOUSE AND YOU DIDN'T MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT A THING SENIOR FRIENDLY.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN, LIKE WHAT THINGS FRIENDLY? SO A COUPLE OF THINGS, ONE, THE AMENITIES THAT WE'RE PROGRAMMING, UH, ARE, ARE GEARED THAT WAY TO, UH, WE'LL BE THE UNIT SIZE AND THE CONFIGURATION OF THE UNITS.

SO THINGS LIKE MAKING ACCESSIBILITY, UM, GRAB BARS, RETROFITTING, UH, YOU MADE THE COMMENT ABOUT EVERYBODY HAS TO MAKE $150,000.

THAT'S THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME.

SO THERE ABSOLUTELY WILL BE UNITS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SOME FOLKS THAT MAYBE MAKE LESS THAN THAT.

THERE COULD AFFORD TO BE HERE.

THERE WILL BE AN ELEVATOR IN OUR THREE-STORY BUILDING, WHICH IS CRITICAL BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO NEED ELEVATOR ACCESS UP TUCK UNDER GARAGES, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE MAIN APARTMENT BUILDING WITH THE FLATS, YOU CAN PARK ON YOUR FLOOR, EVERYTHING IS ACCESSIBLE IN THAT BUILDING.

SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY ASPIRE TO IN THIS DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE WE HEARD THAT THERE WAS A REAL NEED FOR SENIOR SENIOR TYPE HOUSING AND HOW WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT CONCERN.

AND THAT WAS MADE DURING THIS PROCESS, UH, IS ONE ITEM BECAUSE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE WOULD NORMALLY DO TO HAVE ELEVATORS AND THREE-STORY BUILDINGS.

THEN I HAD A QUESTION FOR HIM.

SO THE, THE ZONING THAT WE'RE HAVING ON TONIGHT IS THIS SPECIFIC TO THOSE TOWNHOMES BEING RENTAL VERSUS SIMPLE, OR IS IT PLANNED WITH ELEMENT IN JOHNSON? SO ARE YOU ASKING IF YOU COULD MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO, UH, FLIP THOSE FROM PARENTAL TO SYMBOL? I'M JUST ASKING IF VOTING AS IS IT LEAVES THE OPTION FOR IT TO GO EITHER WAY OR DO WE NEED TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT IF THE COMMISSION WANTS US TO BE FEE SIMPLE, YOU SHOULD MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION.

UM, STAFF DOESN'T HAVE A POSITION ON IT.

UH, I THINK

[03:10:01]

DOES YOUR PRICE POINTS CHANGE ON ALL YOUR FOR TIME? NO, IT WON'T, BUT I WILL KNOW THAT THESE TOWNHOMES AND THEIR ADJACENCY TO THE EXISTING RETAIL OVER HERE, THESE ARE GOING TO BE TOUGH.

THIS IS A DIFFICULT LOCATION.

JUST SEEING WHAT THEY BACK UP.

WE PURPOSELY DID NOT ORIENT THEM FACING THE BACK HERE CAUSE THAT'S, UH, DUMPSTERS AND SERVICE FOR THE EXISTING RETAIL.

SO, UM, THAT ONE WILL BE A MORE DIFFICULT COMPONENT ON THE, FOR SALE SIDE.

AND AGAIN, AND IF YOU TALKED TO ANY, DID YOU, I'M ASSUMING IN YOUR CONVERSATION WITH THE TALENT BASE WAS NOT A PROBLEM.

WAS THIS EVER, HEY, WHAT IF WE DECIDED TO CONVERT THIS TO TOWNHOMES? WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THESE AS WELL? YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO, YES.

YOU HAVE TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THAT POTENTIAL OR NOT.
