Aug 16, 2022 Planning &amp; Zoning Commission

THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN BEFORE PLAN FOR THOSE, UH, THERE IS ONE MULTI-USER HANGAR, WHICH IS ON THE LEFT SIDE.

SO, UM, EACH OF THESE HANGERS, UH, AS WELL, IT PROVIDES HANGER SPACE FOR AIRPORT, AIRPLANE STORAGE, EXCUSE ME.

IT ALSO PROVIDES OFFICE, UH, RESTROOM, LOUNGE FACILITIES AS WELL.

THERE ARE TWO APRONS, UH, THE WEST APRON, WHICH HAS A KIND OF DIRECT ACCESS TO THE, THE, UH, TAXI WAY.

AND THEN THE EAST APRON, WHICH, UH, SERVICES THE, UM, OTHER THREE BUILDINGS HAS A DIRECT ACCESS TO THE TAXI LANE B TO THE NORTH.

THESE ARE THE FLOOR PLANS.

UH, SO THERE ARE FIVE PROPOSED SINGLE TENANT AIRPLANE HANGERS THAT IS SHOWN ON

[00:05:01]

THAT IS THE LARGER 30,000 SQUARE FOOT AT IS THE INTENT OF THE APPLICANT NOT TO HAVE, UM, TO HAVE ONE TENANT.

HOWEVER, UH, THAT TENANT MANAGES POTENTIALLY MULTIPLE THE STORAGE OF MULTIPLE AIRLINERS.

AS FAR AS THE PARKING ON IS ON THE SITE.

UH, THERE IS PARKING PROVIDED, UH, AT THE PRIMARY PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCES OF THE HANGERS.

THE RATIO THAT WAS USED IS ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EACH FIVE EMPLOYEES, UH, PER THAT RATIO, THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE 48 PARKING SPACES AND 76 PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED ONSITE, UH, EXCEEDING OUR PARKING REQUIREMENTS SIGNIFICANTLY FAR AS, UM, THE OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING.

THE APPLICANT DID MEET ALL OF STAFF'S REQUEST.

THIS SITE IS SOMEWHAT UNIQUE AS WE NEED TO NEED TO CONSIDER BOTH THE TOWN REGULATIONS, AS WELL AS, UH, FFA FAA REQUIREMENTS AND THE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE AIRPORT AS WELL BECAUSE OF THAT, THE LANDSCAPING IS CONCENTRATED ALONG THE PEDESTRIAN OR LANDSIDE, WHICH IS, UH, ALONG CLAIRE SHANEL DRIVE, UH, DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE SITE, UH, TREE MITIGATION WAS NOT REQUIRED.

UH, WE WANTED TO AVOID MORE TREES, UH, NEXT TO THE, THE RUNWAY AS POSSIBLE FOR THE EXTERIOR OF THE AIRLINE HANGERS.

THE EACH LAND SIDE, UH, OF THESE HANGARS IS A MIXTURE OF BRICK AND PREFABRICATED METAL PANELING ALONG THE TOP.

THE PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCES INCLUDE, UH, CANOPIES AND WINDOWS INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE OFFICE AND LOUNGE SPACE.

THE AIR SIDE IS PRIMARILY METAL PANELING AND THOSE SERVE THE DOORS FOR THE AIRLINERS TO GET IN AND OUT, UH, WITH THIS STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN.

THE APPLICANT IS, UM, ON THE ZOOM CALL AS WELL, AND MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR LESLIE THAT'S DONE IN THESE, RIGHT.

UM, I THINK THERE, UM, MIGHT BE LIKE MINIMAL MAINTENANCE, UM, THAT WOULD BE ASKED THE APPLICANT AS FAR AS THE, THE DETAILS ON THAT.

THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT WE DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK THE APPLICANT QUESTIONS.

JULIE, I THINK YOU HAD SOME DURING THE WORK SESSION, IF YOU WISH TO REPEAT THOSE FOR THE APPLICANTS, HE OR SHE IS ONLINE PLACE.

TO ADDISON AIRPORTS? WELL, I MEAN, I THINK ADDISON'S A GREAT TIME.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS, UH, WHAT SIZE PLANES? THESE AREN'T EXPECTED TO HOUSE? WHAT ARE THESE PRIVATE PLANES? ARE THESE THE BIGGER JETS OR WHAT, WHAT ARE THEY? THANKS.

HI, JULIE.

UM, GREAT QUESTION.

SO THEY ARE PRIVATE AIRCRAFT.

UM, THE LARGEST AIRCRAFT IS A GLOBAL 7,500, UM, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MID-SIZE.

SO IT'S, IT'S MAINLY PRIVATE AIRCRAFT, GENERAL AVIATION, NO, NOT 7 37 OR LARGER TYPES OF AIRCRAFT.

JEFF, COULD YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELVES? HI, SORRY.

I'M JEFF COLA SANI.

UM, SKYHARBOUR VICE PRESIDENT OF CONSTRUCTION AND HELP THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE AS WELL.

AND THEN WE HAVE NO MORE.

DO YOU HAVE, DO YOU HAVE OTHER FACILITIES AROUND THE DFW AREA? UM, SO WE DO HAVE ANOTHER CAMPUS ACTUALLY, NOT, NOT.

UM, SO BEING NOT VERY FAMILIAR WITH TEXAS AND EVERYTHING, AND IT'S A VERY BIG STATE AND WE ARE IN SUGARLAND, SO RIGHT NEAR TUESDAY, BUT HERE'S OUR, HERE'S ERIC.

STOLTMAN ACTUALLY ON A ZOOM CALL AND HE CAN ANSWER THAT HE IS OUR, UM, FROM OUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM.

AND THEN, UM, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER ONE, A COUPLE OF MONTHS, UH, OPENING RIBBON CUTTING, AND IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS DOWN WHERE JEFF LIVES IN THE SOUTH FLORIDA AREA AND, AND MORE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AS WELL IN DENVER, PHOENIX.

SO ERIC, WHAT ATTRACTED YOU

[00:10:01]

I'M A, I'M A HOUSTONIAN, UM, AND, AND AN AGGIE.

SO I KNOW PEOPLE FROM EVERY CITY OR TOWN IN THE, IN THE STATE, IT SEEMS, UM, I THINK THAT ADDISON IS A, AN INCREDIBLY BUSY BUSINESS FRIENDLY CITY.

UH, YOUR AIRPORT IS ABSOLUTELY A PREMIER AIRPORT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

UH, YOU GOT A WIDE VARIETY OF USERS ON THAT AIR FIELD FROM, YOU KNOW, KIND OF YOUR SMALLER GA TO YOUR, UH, MY, MY 18 MONTH OLD IS NOW BEING TRAPPED IN A ROOM WITH ME BY MY FIVE-YEAR-OLD.

UM, YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF USERS AND I THINK THAT YOUR BUSINESS AVIATION GROWTH HAS, UH, HAS REALLY BEEN IMPRESSIVE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS IN PARTICULAR, BUT JUST, UM, I'D SAY PROBABLY OVER THE PAST FIVE OR 10 YEARS, SO GREAT LOCATION, GREAT BUSINESS FROM FRIENDLY, UH, CITY.

UH, AND WE'VE JUST, I MEAN, WE'VE DEVELOPED A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, MR. JENKINS, MR. DYE, MR. MICHI, UM, OVER THE COURSE OF TIME AND IT'S, UM, ADDISON WAS THE VERY FIRST AIRPORT I EVER APPROACHED BACK IN 2018 WHEN, UH, WHEN WE STARTED TRYING TO BUILD UP THIS SKYHARBOUR, IT HAS TAKEN SOME TIME TO GET TO THIS POINT.

UH, BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S AN AIRPORT THAT WE'VE CIRCLED FOR.

UM, THE BUSINESS GROWTH, THE POPULATION GROWTH, UH, THE BUSINESS FRIENDLY NATURE, AND THEN THE GROWTH OF BUSINESS AVIATION THERE.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH.

ERIC OR JEFF, UH, GO BACK TO THE SAME COURSE.

THERE WAS GOING TO BEING X.

IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY MAINTENANCE WORK BEING DONE, UH, AT THESE, UH, LOCATION? NO, NO, THERE IS NO MAIN, BUT GO AHEAD, ERIC.

SORRY, GO ON.

ELABORATE RIGHT THERE.

I MEAN, THE TENANTS MIGHT SERVICE THEIR AIRCRAFT, RIGHT? BUT THERE'S A KEY DISTINCTION BETWEEN SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE.

UH, THERE WILL, THERE WILL BE NO MROS MAINTENANCE, YOU KNOW, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, AND OVERHAUL TENANT IN THESE FACILITIES, WHICH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A DESIGNATION, THAT'S AN FAA DESIGNATION TO BE AN MRO FACILITY.

WE DO NOT, WE WILL, WE'LL NOT HAVE THOSE, UH, AT ADDISON.

ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYONE? CAN I GET A MOTION AND I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE PLANS FOR SKY HARBOR AIRPORT ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ANY ABSTENTIONS ACIDS.

[3. Hold a Public Hearing, Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on a Recommendation regarding an Ordinance Rezoning a 2.034 Acre Property Located at 3820 Belt Line Road from the Planned Development District (PD) with Modified Belt Line District (BL) Standards to a New Planned Development District (PD) with Modified Local Retail District (LR) Standards and a Special Use Permit (SUP) to Allow the Development of a Drive-Thru Only Restaurant. Case 1850-Z/3820 Belt Line Road (Salad & Go).]

A SPECIAL USE PERMIT IS FOR A PARTIALLY 915 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO PRESENT, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON YOUR RECOMMENDATION REGARDING AN ORDINANCE REZONING, A 2.034 ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 38 20 BELTLINE ROAD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PD WITH MODIFIED BELTLINE DISTRICT VL STANDARDS TO A NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PD WITH MODIFIED LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT LR STANDARDS AND A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, AND SUP TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DRIVE-THROUGH ONLY RESTAURANT.

THIS IS CASE 1850 DASH Z SLASH 38 20 SPELT LINE ROAD SALAD, AND GO, LESLIE, YOU ARE GO TO GO.

THANK YOU, LESLIE KNIFE WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT.

UM, THIS ITEM IS THE REZONING AND SPECIAL USE PERMIT AT 38 20 BELTLINE ROAD.

UH, THIS ITEM WILL REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING, UM, AND URIEL YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THE, THIS PARTICULAR SITE HAS, UH, QUITE A LOT OF HISTORY AS FAR AS, UM, VARIOUS ZONING ITEMS. UM, ORIGINALLY THIS SITE WAS DEVELOPED IN THE, I BELIEVE THEN THE NINETIES AND THERE WAS AN, UM, SUP APPROVED FOR, UM, THE FORMER HUBBARD INKS RESTAURANT GROUP.

UM, IT IS CURRENTLY IS NO LONGER USED FOR THAT USE.

UH, AND SINCE IN THE LAST TWO TO THREE YEARS HAS BEEN, UM, HAS EVOLVED WITH THE TERMS OF THE ZONING, UH, THROUGH VARIOUS PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.

UH, TONIGHT WE ARE ASKING TO, UH, IMPLEMENT A NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT WITH LOCAL RETAIL, UM, ZONING, UH, WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A SALAD AND GO RESTAURANT ON THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE SITE, THE SALAD AND GO

[00:15:01]

UH, THIS IS FOR DRIVE-THROUGH SERVICES ONLY AND NO ALCOHOL PROPOSED.

UH, THEY SPECIALIZE IN SALADS, WRAPS, UM, JUICES, REALLY SPECIALTY, UH, FAST FOOD, HEALTHY OPTIONS.

THIS WOULD BE A STANDALONE STRUCTURED ON THE SITE.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THERE WOULD BE NO A DINE-IN SEATING, HOWEVER, THE DRIVE THROUGH.

AND, UM, I BELIEVE THERE'S ALSO A WALKUP WINDOW AS WELL.

UH, ON THE SITE, UH, THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED TO EXCEED THE REQUIRED PARKING FOR SALAD AND GO, UM, OVERALL, UH, INCLUDING THE ENTIRE, UM, SITE, WHICH INCLUDES THE, UH, HUMPERDINCK STRUCTURE, FORMER HUMPERDINCK STRUCTURE AND THE TWO STORY, UH, RETAIL AND OFFICE STRUCTURE.

UH, THEY DO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF REQUIRED PARKING BY ONE SPACE.

SO 84 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND, UH, 85 ARE PROVIDED SPECIFICALLY FOR SALAD AND GO 13 ARE REQUIRED AND 14 PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED OUT OF THAT REQUIRED 85.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE FOR THE PARKING, UH, WITH THE CURRENT STANDARDS, AS IT'S SHOWN IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO THE FORMER HUMPERDINCK STRUCTURE, UH, WOULD NOT, UH, COULD NOT BE USED AS A RESTAURANT.

IT WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH.

PARKING WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED AS YOU'LL SEE.

ONE OF STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS IS TO REPEAL THAT SUP UM, FOR THE, THE HUMPERDINCK SITE OR THE, UH, OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING STAFF REVIEWED, UH, EXCLUSIVELY THE OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SALAD.

IT GOES SCOPE OF WORK AND DID NOT, UH, REVIEW THE REMAINDER OF THE SITE WHEN, UH, IF AND WHEN THE REMAINDER OF BESIDE IS REDEVELOPED, UM, OR CHANGES, CHANGES USE, UH, THAT'S WHEN STAFF WILL REVIEW, UH, THOSE SPECIFICATIONS B AFTER REVIEW, THE SITE HAS MET OR EXCEEDED ALL OF THE TOWN'S LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS.

UH, UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF EXISTING PUBLIC UTILITIES ALONG BELTLINE ROAD, UH, STAFF HAD A DESIRE TO PLACE TRADE-OFFS, UH, TREES ALONG THE STREET FRONTAGE.

UH, HOWEVER, THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO EXISTING UTILITIES, UM, SALAD AND GO HAS, UH, MADE ROOM TO PLACE THEM ELSEWHERE ON THE SITE POST FACADE OF THE SALAD AND GO RESTAURANT IS PRIMARILY CONSISTS OF A BRICK AND STONE WITH VARIOUS METAL AND ETHAN ACCENTS, UH, THEIR, THEIR LOGO AND THEIR COLORS, COLORS THEME IS, UH, VERY CONSISTENT AS FAR AS THEIR OTHER LOCATIONS.

AND IT DOES COMPLY WITH THE TOWN'S REQUIREMENTS.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO FACADE CHANGES TO THE REMAIN REMAINDER OF THE SITE.

THE OTHER INSTRUCTORS PROPER GOOD ARE NOTIFICATIONS WERE SENT OUT TO 18, UH, RECIPIENTS.

WE RECEIVED ONE IN FAVOR FROM THE ASBURY CIRCLE HOA.

IT WAS PROVIDED IN YOUR PACKET.

IT WAS A STATEMENT OF SUPPORT, UM, STAFF AND A SALAD GO TO WORK WITH THEM AS FAR AS, UM, PROVIDING, ULTIMATELY PROVIDING SOME ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING AT THE REAR OF THE SITE.

UH, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

UM, THE FIRST BULLET INCLUDES MODIFICATIONS TO THE LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT STANDARDS FOR THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING, UH, MODIFIED BUILDING HEIGHT AND LANDSCAPE BUFFER.

IT ALSO NOTES THAT THE RETAIL BUILDING THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ON THE SITE IS, WOULD STILL, UM, BE APPROVED WITH THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UH, NO ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAY CONNECTIONS ALONG THE BELTLINE ROAD.

UM, IF THE SITE IS EVER SUBDIVIDED STAFF REQUESTS THAT CROSS ACCESS WE'VE PROVIDED, UM, TO BOTH BUSINESS AVENUE AND COMMERCIAL DRIVE, UH, AND THEN FINALLY THAT THE, UM, HUMPERDINCK SUP WOULD BE REPEALED UPON APPROVAL OF THIS ORDINANCE.

WE'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

NEW INVESTMENT IS, IS, WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL.

LET ANYONE COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ALLEGED.

I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO HOW LONG THAT SITE HAS BEEN VACANT NOW, AT LEAST THREE YEARS, I IT'S, UH, IT'S A CHALLENGE SITE.

UM, INVESTMENT

[00:20:01]

IT'S FREQUENTLY A CODE ENFORCEMENT, UH, VECTOR.

UH, WE HAVE HOMELESSNESS, UH, AT THAT SITE, UH, LAND THAT LANDSCAPE, UH, TRASH.

UH, SO NEW INVESTMENT WOULD BE A VERY WELCOME CONDITION HERE.

A LOT OF LINES THAT CAN THERE'S GOOD THERE'S DEVELOPMENT, POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON EAST SIDE VELLUM ON THE WEST SIDE, PUMPER, JASON, THE METAL, ALL THE PARKING TO WESTERN EASTERN, BEEN TAKEN AWAY WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THAT BUILDING SHORT OF DEMOLISHING IT.

AND IF THAT'S THE ONLY OPTION, WHAT CAN BE DONE TO EXPEDITE THAT BECAUSE IT IS A CODE PROBLEM.

SO THE, HOW THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT IS CURRENTLY LAID OUT CALLS FOR THAT, UH, THE HUMPERDINCK FOR HUMPERDINCK BUILDING TO BE CONVERTED TO SOME SORT OF, UM, OFFICE OR RETAIL SPACE, A RESTAURANT WOULD NOT, NOT WORK THERE WITH THE CURRENT PARKING DEMAND THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK AT THIS POINT IT'S UNKNOWN IF THE, UM, KIND OF ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THAT STRUCTURE WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

UH, BUT I THINK THAT'S THE INTENT AT THIS TIME FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER.

UM, SO STAFF WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM TO, UM, FIX ANY OUTSTANDING CODE ISSUES.

UH, AND HOPEFULLY AT SOME POINT THERE IS REINVESTMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE.

SO I UNDERSTAND THE REDEVELOPMENT BRINGS DOWN A COMPONENT, WHICH YOU HOPE WILL HELP CLEAN UP THE HUMPERDINCK SITE.

BUT IF IT DOESN'T, ARE WE HAMSTRINGING THE DEVELOPMENT HERE BY LEAVING THIS, THIS BUILDING IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION, OR CAN WE GET ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE CODE ISSUES, GET THE POLICE TO REGULARLY CHECK THIS BECAUSE IT COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE BUSINESSES.

I THINK IF IT REMAINS AS IT IS, AND IT COULD SIT THERE FOR YEARS AND YEARS UNTIL SOMEBODY SAYS, DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

SO I BRING THOSE UP AS TO HIGHLIGHT ISSUES THAT DOESN'T MEAN ENFORCEMENT IS NOT INCURRING FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO USE OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT SERVICES.

WE ARE, WE ARE VERY ACTIVE AND VERY RESPONSIVE.

SO, UH, THE PROPERTY OWNER, UH, HE IS NOT HERE, BUT HE IS AN ADVOCATE AND, UH, HE'S VERY RESPONSIVE TO THE CODE ISSUES AS WELL.

IT'S JUST BECAUSE IT'S A VACANT BUILDING AND IT IS A KIND OF A DESOLATE SITE.

IT'S, IT'S VERY MUCH A VECTOR FOR, UM, UH, BAD BEHAVIOR HAVING THAT ACTIVITY FROM CELL AND GO, UH, I'M ALWAYS A PROPONENT WHEN YOU HAVE ACTIVITY IN AN AREA THAT IS THE BEST, UH, DEFENSE TO CRIME AND CODE ISSUES.

SO WE, TO, TO CLARIFY, THERE IS VERY MUCH INTEREST IN, UH, CONTINUING TO REINVEST IN THE SITES.

UH, WE HAVE A MEETING COMING UP WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE HUMPERDINCK BUILDING.

SO WE VERY LIKELY WILL BE BEFORE YOU AGAIN, HERE IN, UH, THE NEXT HALF YEAR OR SO TO TALK ABOUT THAT SITE AS WELL.

UM, AND THE OWNER IS VERY, UH, INTERESTED IN THAT AS WELL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LESLIE OR KEN? IF NOT, I'LL NO FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THEM.

I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING.

IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT OR EITHER ONLINE OR IN PERSON, UH, NICHOLAS WILSON FROM THAT REAL ESTATE MANAGER MADE SURE THAT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT, THE APPLICANT WISH TO GIVE A PRESENTATION OR JUST TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NOPE.

I'VE GOT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ANSWER OR NOT, BUT COULD YOU JUST DESCRIBE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BUSINESS MODEL OF THE SALAD AND GO, I MEAN, IS IT LIKE A, LIKE A WENDY'S OR ANYBODY ELSE YOU DRIVE UP, YOU PUT IN YOUR ORDER, LIKE, I WANT THE SALAD NUMBER ONE, AND THEN YOU DRIVE UP AND GET IT, OR IS THIS A CALL AHEAD AND COME IN AND PICK IT UP? WHAT'S THE CONCEPT OF THE DRIVE FOR YOURSELF? CAN YOU GO TO THE, THE PODIUM? THANK YOU.

AND AGAIN, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE.

UH, NICHOLAS WILSON, THE REAL ESTATE MANAGER FOR SALAD AND GO IN THE DFW MARKET.

UH, SO ARE AS A WHOLE, THE COMPANY'S GOAL IS TO BRING HEALTHY, NUTRITIOUS FOOD AT A FAST FOOD TASTES AND PRICE POINT.

THAT'S REALLY, THE MAIN GOAL IS TO DRIVE THROUGH ONLY.

SO IF SHE WERE SAYING IS, YEAH, YOU CAN DRIVE UP NORMALLY ORDER AT THE WINDOW OR YOU PICK UP THE WINDOW AND THEN YOU DRIVE OUT.

UM, THEY'RE ALSO A WALK UP WINDOW.

SO SAY YOU WORK IN A STRIP CENTER OR THE APARTMENTS NEXT DOOR, AND YOU WANT TO JUST WALK OVER.

YOU CAN DO THAT AS WELL.

UH, AND YOU CAN ORDER ON THAT ON THE APP.

WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO START CONSTRUCTION? SO AS WE GET PERMANENTLY, THEY WERE READY LIKE THREE MONTHS AGO.

I'VE NOTICED THAT VERY QUICKLY.

I WASN'T PLANNING TO PRESENT TO YOU GUYS.

ON AVERAGE, WE'RE ON BACKUP AND NEIGHBOR WITH US.

HOW THAT GOES.

WELL, SORRY.

[00:25:01]

SORRY.

I'M IN SHORTS, BUT, UH, YEAH.

W AVERAGE IS ABOUT NINE TO GO A HUNDRED DAYS ON CONSTRUCTION.

SO WE GO HOME PRETTY QUICK.

AS SOON AS WE GET PERMITS, WE TYPICALLY ARE READY TO START.

YOU HAVE TWO OTHER LOCATIONS IN CLOSE TO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT.

AND HOW ARE THEY DOING AND HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN OPEN AND HOW ARE THEY DOING? YEAH, SO WE HAVE, I THINK, 14 LOCATIONS NOW IN THE DFW.

METRO, DO YOU WANT ME TO GO UP THERE? YES.

IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, THE SIDE OF THE BACK, HE JUST GOT OFF THE GOLF COURSE.

SORRY.

WE'VE BEEN DRIVING REAL ESTATE ACTUALLY ALL DAY.

SO MAKEOVER I'M CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER FOR SALAD AND GO, UH, ACTUALLY WE OFFICE HERE IN ADDISON NET FOR, UH, 14, 800 LANDMARK.

SO WE'RE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

UH, YEAH, WE HAVE, I THINK 14 OR 15 OPEN NOW IN THE METRO.

SO WE JUST, UH, MAY, MAY 5TH ACTUALLY WAS OUR ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ENTERING THE DFW METRO.

SO OUR FIRST LOCATION WAS ACTUALLY COINED IN 15TH BY MEDICAL CITIES, PLANO.

SO THAT WAS THE FIRST LOCATION WE OPENED.

UH, AND THEN WE'VE BEEN OPENING KIND OF ONE TO TWO EVERY, EVERY FEW MONTHS, UH, FOR, FOR THE PAST YEAR, LET'S SAY, UH, WE'VE GOT A PIPELINE OF ABOUT 40 TO 50 FOR THE DFW METRO.

SO YOU'LL SEE THEM STARTING TO POP UP A LOT OF PLACES, BUT, UH, COMPANY WAS FOUNDED IN ARIZONA.

UH, I KNOW YOU ASKED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THOSE TWO.

UH, SO WE'RE HEADQUARTERED IN ARIZONA.

WE STARTED ABOUT NINE YEARS AGO.

UM, SO THAT'S OUR HOME MARKET.

WE HAVE OVER 40 LOCATIONS IN THE PHOENIX METRO OVERALL DO EXTREMELY WELL COMPARED TO MOST QSR WORK.

I MEAN, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE HAVE A 900 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING IT'S HYPER EFFICIENT FROM A COST PERSPECTIVE.

UM, WE CAME TO TEXAS A YEAR AGO, OVERALL PERFORMING EXTREMELY WELL.

UM, PROBABLY EXCEEDING OUR EXPECTATIONS SLIGHTLY FROM WHERE WE HAD FORECASTED SLOWER VOLUMES IN ARIZONA, WHICH IS TO BE EXPECTED.

IT'S A NEW MARKET FOR US.

AND SO WE'VE OBVIOUSLY BEEN IN ARIZONA FOR NINE YEARS.

AND SO, UH, WE'VE HAD THE BENEFIT OF PEOPLE LEARNING WHO WE WERE AND, AND GROWING UP KIND OF WITH US.

BUT, UM, YEAH, HERE IN HERE IN DFW MAKING A BIG PUSH, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE DOWN IN HOUSTON LATER THIS YEAR, WE'RE UP IN OKLAHOMA CITY.

UH, AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL BE IN AUSTIN AND SAN ANTONIO NEXT YEAR.

SO THAT WAS GREAT.

AND THEN, OH, SORRY.

REAL, REAL QUICK.

JUST FROM A MODEL PERSPECTIVE, CAUSE I KNOW YOU WERE ASKING, SO WHAT WE'RE, HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT THAN MOST QSRS IS WE ACTUALLY HAVE A VERTICALLY INTEGRATED SUPPLY CHAIN.

SO WE HAVE A CENTRALIZED MANUFACTURING PLANT HERE IN SOUTH DALLAS.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE PREPARE AND KIND OF, UH, DICE ALL YOUR VEGETABLES, DO ALL OF THE PREP WORK.

SO WE TAKE ALL OF THAT AND REMOVE ALL OF THAT FROM THE STORE, WHICH SIMPLIFIES THE OPERATION.

UH, WE, WE DELIVER DAILY TO OUR STORES.

SO WHAT YOU'RE GETTING IS PRODUCT THAT WAS CHOPPED ON, ON A LINE CAUSE THEY BEFORE.

UM, AND SO IT'S SUPER FRESH AND, AND BY DOING THAT, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP OUR PRICE POINT LOWER.

AND SO IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH SALADA AND OTHER CONCEPTS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ABOUT HALF TO A THIRD OF THE COST PROFILE FOR THEM.

SORRY, WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS OF OPERATIONS? UH, 6:30 AM TO 9:00 PM.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

AND THEN WE'RE SEVEN TO NINE ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

YEAH, THE ONE THAT'S SOME TRAINING WHEELS I'VE NOTICED IT'S VERY, VERY BUSY DURING ABOUT 11 TO ABOUT FOUR.

11 TO TYPICALLY OUR LAUNCH DAY PART, AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE AS THE BIGGEST, SO 11 TO 2:00 PM IS WHERE WE SEE THEM FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR VOLUME.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, IN TEXAS, WE'VE ACTUALLY SEEN A LITTLE MORE SKEWED TOWARDS DINNER, WHICH IS MAYBE WHY YOU'RE SEEING SOME OF THAT WORK THE OTHER TIME.

AND IT'S BEEN VERY, VERY BUSY.

WE LIKE THIS.

WHY DO YOU OPEN UP SURELY THERE'S A LOT OF COFFEE AND SALAD GOING ON OUT THERE.

SORRY, I DIDN'T HEAR, WHY DO YOU OPEN UP SO EARLY? WE HAVE BREAKFAST.

SO WE OFFER BREAKFAST.

SO IT'S NOT JUST SALAD.

SO WE DO A, WE DO A DOLLAR ORGANIC COLD BREW, AND THEN WE ALSO DO BREAKFAST BURRITOS, WHICH ARE $3 24 CENTS.

SO WE, WE HAVE A CLASSICALLY TRAINED CHEF.

HE'S ALSO A CO-FOUNDER OF OURS.

HE'S BEEN WITH THE COMPANY SINCE INCEPTION.

HE WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE FOUNDING PARTNERS, A CLASSICALLY TRAINED CHEF AND HE'S CURATED A PRETTY AMAZING MENU AND BECAUSE OF THE VERTICAL INTEGRATION AND WE'VE CUT OUT THOSE THIRD-PARTY MARKOFF'S OF DISTRIBUTION, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PASS THAT BACK, THAT SAVINGS BACK TO THE CONSUMER.

SO, BUT, UH, YEAH, IT'S ACTUALLY, THAT'S KIND OF A, WE'RE DOING AN ON THE GO BUNDLE RIGHT NOW WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU COME IN FOR BREAKFAST TIME, YOU BUY YOUR, YOUR COLD BREW AND YOUR BURRITO AND YOUR SALAD FOR 9 99.

SO YOU CAN COVER IT WITH BREAKFAST OR LUNCH ROOM FOR UNDER 10 BUCKS.

AND IN OUR EARLIER SESSION, IN OUR WORK SESSION, I HAD HEARD TODAY THAT WITH THE INFLATION GOING AWAY, IT'S GOING THAT IT'S ACTUALLY CHEAPER TO EAT IN RESTAURANTS THAN IT IS TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND BUY STUFF.

AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS AN EXAMPLE OF THAT CERTAINLY BUYING AND SCALE DEFINITELY HELPS.

YEAH, NO.

WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING AND DO HAVE YOUR EMOTION ON THIS CASE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE COMMISSIONERS FOR EITHER THE APPLICANT STANDARDIZED OUT, IF NOT, I

[00:30:01]

MOVE TO APPROVE CASE 1 8 5 0 DASH C SLASH 3 8 2 OH BELTLINE ROAD SALAD, GO REGARDING AN ORDINANCE REZONING, A 2.034 ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 38 20 BELTLINE ROAD FROM THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PD WITH MODIFIED BELTLINE DISTRICT B L STANDARDS TO A NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PD WITH MODIFIED LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT LR STANDARDS AND A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SUP TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DRIVE-THROUGH ON LIKE RESTAURANT WITH CONDITION, WITH CONDITIONS AS STATED IN THE STAFF THAT WORKED SECOND.

NEXT ITEM

[4. Hold a Public Hearing, Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on a Recommendation regarding an Ordinance Approving a Special Use Permit (SUP) for Property Located at 4580 Belt Line Road that is currently zoned Local Retail (LR), to allow a Restaurant with the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages for On-Premises Consumption. Case 1853-SUP/4580 Belt Line Road (Toasted Yolk Cafe).]

ON THE AGENDA.

HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO PRESENT, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON YOUR RECOMMENDATION REGARDING AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SUP FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 45 80 BELTLINE ROAD.

IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED LOCAL RETAIL AND ALAR TO ALLOW A RESTAURANT WITH THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FOR ON PREMISES CONSUMPTION.

THIS IS CASE 1853 DASH SUP SLASH 45 80 BELTLINE ROAD TOASTED YOLK CAFE.

LESLIE, WHEN WE HAVE STAFF REPORT, PLEASE.

YES.

SO THIS I, A SUBJECT PROPERTY IS AT 4,580 BELTLINE ROAD.

UH, THE REQUEST IS FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A RESTAURANT WITH, UH, THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FOR ON-PREMISE CONSUMPTION.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS AN EXISTING, UH, THREE TENANT STRUCTURE THAT WAS, UM, DEVELOPED IN THE, UH, MID TO LATE 1970S.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO OTHER BUSINESSES, UH, THE FEDEX BUSINESS AT THE, UH, WEST HAND SIDE OF THE SITE OCCUPIED THE LARGEST SUITE.

UM, THEN AT SOME POINT, WHICH IS A RESTAURANT THAT SPECIALIZES IN, UH, REALLY LUNCH AND DINNER OPTIONS.

AND, UH, THEN THE CURRENT VACANT SUITE, WHICH IS THE PROPOSED TOASTED YOLK CAFE.

UH, THIS WAS THE FORMER SITE OF REMINGTON SEAFOOD GRILL THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2020, UH, VIA SVP.

AND IT HAD IT CLOSED.

UM, IN 2020, THE PROPOSAL DOES INCLUDE ADDING A PATIO AT THE FRONT OF THE SITE.

AND SO OTHER SITE IMPROVEMENTS, HOWEVER, THEY'RE NOT EXPANDING, NOT PROPOSING TO EXPAND THE INTERIOR.

THE BUILDING, THE CURRENT SUITE IS JUST UNDER 4,000 SQUARE FEET.

THEY ARE PROPOSING TO USE, UM, APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THAT FOR THE, THE KITCHEN AND SERVICE AREA, THE OTHER HALF FOR AN INDOOR DINING AREA, INCLUDING, UM, BOOTH TABLE AND BAR SEATING.

THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED SEATS PROVIDED INDOORS WHILE THEY ARE PROPOSING A 632 SQUARE FOOT DINING PATIO FRONT OF THE SITE THAT HAS AN ADDITIONAL 44, UM, UH, DINING SEATS.

THE PATIO IS NOT PROPOSED TO BE COVERED BY A PERMANENT STRUCTURE.

UM, IN SOME OF THE, UM, THE RENDERINGS YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING, UH, VARIOUS TYPES OF, UM, UMBRELLAS, TEMPORARY COVERINGS.

THIS THE CURRENT SITE, UH, AS I SAID, WAS DEVELOPED IN THE SEVENTIES AND WAS NOT IN CONFORMANCE WITH MANY OF OUR CURRENT STANDARDS, AS FAR AS, UM, UH, PARKING LANDSCAPING AND OPEN SPACE.

UH, THIS PARTICULAR SITE, UH, IS, UH, DEFICIENT WITH THE REQUIRED PARKING BASED UPON THE CURRENT AND PROPOSED USES.

UH, EACH RESTAURANT, UH, DOES REQUIRE A PARKING RATIO, ONE PARKING SPACE DEET 100 SQUARE FEET, UH, WHILE THE RETAIL OF FEDEX SUITE IS ONE TO 200, UM, BECAUSE THE PEAK DEMAND FOR THE TWO RESTAURANTS, UH, ADDISON POINT AND TOASTED YOLK ARE DIFFERENT.

ONE FAVORS TOWARDS A BREAKFAST LUNCH CROWD WHILE THE OTHER IS MORE OF A LUNCH DINNER, UH, STAFF WAS NOT SEEING ANY ISSUES WITH, UH,

[00:35:01]

THE DEFICIENT PARKING ONSITE OR IS THE OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING'S REQUIRED.

UH, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE TOWN'S REQUIREMENTS.

HOWEVER, THEY DID ADD A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT THAT BROUGHT IT MUCH CLOSER TO COMPLIANCE, UH, THAN WHAT IT CURRENTLY IS.

THE, UH, THEY, IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY DID, UM, DO SOME MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EMERGENCY SERVICES ACCESS.

UH, AS FAR AS THE FIRE LANE IS CONCERNED AND ALSO MADE SURE ALL THE DRIVE AISLES AND PARKING SPACES MET OUR MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, THE MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FACADE OF THE STRUCTURE INCLUDE THE ADDITION OF THE 632 SQUARE FOOT PATIO ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, AND, UH, REALLY REPLACING THE FRONT FACADE, UH, WITH THREE LARGE BAYS OF FLOOR TO CEILING WINDOWS AND ADDING A, UM, A SECOND ENTRY POINT.

THERE IS CURRENTLY ONLY ONE ENTRY POINT, UM, WHERE IT'S CURRENTLY SHOWN ON THE PATIO.

THEY'RE ADDING A SECOND, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE FLOOR PLAN, UH, THE ONE ENTRIES PRIMARILY FROM THE PATIO AND THE SECOND IS, UH, ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING TO THE HOST AREA.

UH, IN ADDITION TO THIS, THEY, THEY ARE ADDING A, UM, SOLID WASTE ENCLOSURE AS WELL.

UH, THERE'S CURRENTLY NOT ONE PROVIDED ON THE SITE AT, YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE, UM, BOTTOM PHOTO AT THE LEFT OF THE, OF THE FACADE, UM, NOTICES WERE SENT TO 10 RECIPIENTS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE SITES.

AND, UH, STAFF DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES TO THAT.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST WITH, UH, THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS AND THAT THE APPLICANT NOT USE, UM, TERMS ASSOCIATED WITH, UM, ALCOHOL AVERAGES ON SIGNAGE THAT THE, UM, REMINGTON'S SUP IS REPEALED WITH THE, UM, ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR THIS ITEM.

AND IF THERE ARE FUTURE CHANGES IN THE OCCUPANCY OF THE RETAIL SPACE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY FEDEX, UH, THAT THE, THAT REQUIRE APPROVAL FROM THE TOWN TO ENSURE THAT THE PARKING DEMAND IS STILL, UM, ACCOMMODATED ON THE SITE.

WE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, LIZ COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR LAST WEEK? OH, SO THE PATIO, DID IT TAKE UP HOW MANY PARKING SPACES DID IT TAKE UP? YEAH, SO IT TOOK OFF ABOUT THREE TO FOUR PARKING SPACES ON THE FRONT, UM, FROM WHAT WAS, WAS PREVIOUSLY THERE, THERE WAS, UM, WHICH I DON'T, UH, GO TO HERE.

SO THERE AREN'T THIS CORNER HERE, THERE WAS SOME DEAD SPACE.

I BELIEVE IT WAS THREE PARKING SPACES THAT WERE REMOVED TO ACCOMMODATE THE, UM, PATIO.

AND AS THE APPLICANT HERE, YES, I'M GOING TO, I'LL SAY MY NEXT QUESTION.

RIGHT? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THAT? IF NOT, I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC PORTION.

THE MEANING IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? UH, YES, THE LANDLORD AND THE TENANT ARE HERE.

CAN MAKE SHARES.

DO YOU HAVE, DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION OR ARE YOU JUST GOING TO TAKE QUESTIONS? I THINK LESLIE DID A FINE JOB.

MAKE SURE IT WAS, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

AND ALSO, I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT.

UH, I APPRECIATE THE EXTENT THAT THE STAFF WENT TO ACCOMMODATE US ON A VERY DIFFICULT TO TRANSFORMATION THIS PROPERTY.

I MEAN, WE HAVE SOME DISTANCE TO TRY THE GAP BETWEEN THE CURRENT CODE AND WHERE WE STARTED, AND I THINK WE'VE COME UP WITH A GREAT SOLUTION.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER PROPERTY OWNER AND REX HERE IS, UH, POSTED YOU.

I'M THE TOSHA YOLK FRANCHISEE.

YES.

MA'AM.

WE GOT TO GET THEM ON TV FOR THE FOLKS AT HOME, IF THEY COULD GO UP THERE.

SO YOU WANT TO DO, GO TO THE BOAT AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF YOUR ADDRESS NAME.

SO WE KNOW WHERE TO SEND THE BILL.

I'LL SEND THE CHECK.

UH, I'VE WRECKED THE TOASTED YOLK FRANCHISEE.

I LIVE IN GARLAND, UH, 51 50 LOCUST GROVE ROAD.

COMMISSIONER.

SO WE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THAT.

SO I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE OUTDOOR PATIO.

ARE THOSE, UM, UH, UMBRELLAS, YOU TAKING THEM DOWN EVERY NIGHT? ARE YOU LEAVING THEM UP? THEY'LL PROBABLY BE TAKEN DOWN THERE.

THEY JUST GO THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE TABLE TO THE BASE OF THE BOTTOM.

AND IF THEY DON'T COMPLETELY GO IN, THEY'LL BE FOLDED DOWN AND TIED UP.

AND HOW MANY, YOU MAY HAVE SAID IT.

LESLIE, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACCOMMODATED OUTSIDE OF THE PATIO? 44.

44 41.

PROVIDE? SO, I MEAN, I'M LOOKING AT TOAST AND EGGS OR WHAT, UH, WHAT DO I, WHAT DO I DO? UH, BREAKFAST, LUNCH CONCEPT THAT WAS STARTED IN HOUSTON, I BELIEVE IN 2010 OR 12.

AS SOON THIS IS A SEASONAL TYPE PATIO SERVANT.

YES, SIR.

AND COULD YOU EXPLAIN ALL THAT? WHAT TOTAL SHOULD YO

[00:40:01]

UM, I, THIS IS MY FIRST UNIT, SO THERE'S A LOT THAT I STILL DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT, UH, IT'S A BREAKFAST ORIENTED MENU.

A LOT OF BENEDICT ARNOLD'S, UH, VARIATIONS ON THAT.

UH, FREQUENT LTE OWES.

I THINK THIS FALL ONE IS CHICKEN AND WAFFLES AND SOME OTHER STUFF.

SO THE MENU IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING WITH NEW ITEMS AND WHILE MAINTAINING A SOLID BASE OF STANDARD BREAKFAST, FERRIS, WE GO AND HOW MANY TOASTED YOLKS ARE THERE IN THE DFW AREA? THERE ARE TWO AT THE MOMENT, THE FIRST ONE OPENED IN HIGHLAND VILLAGE AND OF MAY, AND THEN SOUTH LAKE OPENED, UH, SOMETIME IN JUNE, I BELIEVE NOW IS THE REVENUE COMPARED TO WHAT YOUR MODELS SIN YOU WOULD BE DOING? I REALLY DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION OTHER THAN GENERAL FORM.

UH, WELL, THE HIGHLAND VILLAGE STORE, I WOULD NOT HAVE PUT IT WHERE IT IS.

IT'S IN AN OLD, I HOP IT'S DOWN.

SO DOWN BELOW THE ROAD, IT GOES PASS IF IT'S A BAD LOCATION, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY DIDN'T MAKE IT.

SO WHAT I'VE HEARD IS THAT THEY'RE STRUGGLING A BIT, BUT THEY ALSO HAD THE WRONG GUY IN PLACE.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH THE EMPLOYEES AND THE CUSTOMERS.

MAYBE THAT'S TOO MUCH, BUT ALL RIGHT, ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS ON I'LL CLOSE THE PORTION OF THE MEETING.

AND DO I HEAR A MOTION ON THIS CASE? UH, LUTHER, WE APPROVED A SUB 1833 TOASTED.

YOU HAVE CAFE LOCATED AT 45 80 OUTLET ROAD FOR APPROVALS, ESPECIALLY USE PERMIT OR A RESTAURANT APPROVED SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES PRINTS FOR CONSUMPTION WITH THE CONDITION THAT WAS STATED WITHIN THE APPLICATION THAT THEY WOULD NOT USE GRAPHIC DEPRECATION IMPLICATIONS FOR.

I CALL IT BEVERAGES.

I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND SMALL FAVOR, SAY AYE, ALL OPPOSED.

SAY NAY.

ANY ABSTENTIONS CARRIES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANKS FOR FOLLOWING SENIOR BREAKFAST.

LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING SOME, ALL RIGHT,

TO ALLOW OUR RESTAURANT CASE 1854 DASH SUP SLASH 38 55 BELTLINE ROAD LA PASHA.

LESLIE, CAN I HAVE STAFF REPORT PLEASE? YES.

UH, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 38 55 BELTLINE ROAD.

THIS IS A FORMER, UH, LOW SCHOOL-BASED ADDISON, UH, RESTAURANT, UM, THAT IS CURRENTLY VACANT AT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A RESTAURANT, UH, FOR THE PROPOSED, UM, LAPORSHA LOUNGE AND GRILL.

UH, THIS IS A FULL SERVICE RESTAURANT, WHICH THEY SPECIALIZED IN MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE AND VARIOUS KIND OF SPECIALTY DRINKS, UM, SUCH AS SMOOTHIES COFFEES, TEAS.

UM, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THAT HOOKAH IS ALSO, UH, AVAILABLE TO PATRONS.

UM, NO ALCOHOL IS PROPOSED TO BE SERVED ON SITE.

UH, THIS, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS CURRENTLY, UH, WAS DEVELOPED, UH, AS CURRENTLY EXIST.

APPROXIMATELY, UH, AS IN THE MID 1990S IS JOE'S CRAB SHACK, UH, IN 2008, IT TRANSITIONED TO THE LOS LUPUS ADDISON.

AND, UM, BEFORE YOU IS THE, UM, SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE BOSCH ALONDRA GRILL, THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT WAS REQUIRED BECAUSE THEY ARE PROPOSING MODIFICATIONS TO, UH, THE, UH, SITE, BUT ALSO THE, UM, THE STRUCTURE.

SO THEY ARE PROPOSING TO DECREASE THE INTERIOR DINING AREA AND INCREASE THE, UM, COVERED PATIO DINING AREA.

AND THEY ARE MAKING SOME SIGNIFICANT SITE IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL.

UH, THIS PARTICULAR SITE, UH, HAS WENT THROUGH SOME, SOME PHASES OF CHANGES, UH, OVER THE LAST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.

UM, SOME ISSUES THAT WERE PRESENT ON THE SITE WAS THAT THE FIRE LANE DID NOT ACCOMMODATE, UH, CURRENT EMERGENCY ACCESS.

UH, THERE WAS JUST SOME,

[00:45:02]

SOME FUNCTIONALITY ISSUES.

UH, THE APPLICANT WILL WORKING WITH STAFF HAS ADDRESSED ALL OF THOSE, UH, TO MAKE SURE THE SITE HAS PROPER, UM, EMERGENCY ACCESS.

AND AS I SAID, UM, MENTIONED BEFORE THE INTERIOR FLOOR AREA IS PROPOSING.

UH, THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED TO DECREASE THAT FROM APPROXIMATELY 9,300 SQUARE FEET, UH, TO, TO JUST UNDER 7,000 SQUARE FEET, UH, THEY ARE MAKING UP FOR THAT BY INCREASING THE, UM, COVERED PATIO SPACE THAT WAS, UH, FORMERLY, OR IS, I GUESS, CURRENTLY ABOUT 3,200 SQUARE FEET.

AND THEY'RE PROPOSING THAT TO BE JUST UNDER 5,000 SQUARE FEET.

SO THE, UH, INTERIOR SEATING WOULD SERVE 105 INDIVIDUALS AND THE PATIO WOULD SEAT 104.

THE, UM, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, UH, ALCOHOL SALES IS NOT PROPOSED AND, UH, HOOKAH SALES ARE OFFERED AT THIS SITE.

UH, IN ADDITION TO, UH, ON THE PATIO, THE APPLICANT DID MENTION THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING, UM, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PATIO AREA, A PLAY AREA FOR CHILDREN.

UM, THEY NOTED THAT THEY WANTED TO PROMOTE A FAMILY FRIENDLY, UH, ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PARKING ON THE SITE.

UH, IT WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE REQUIREMENTS, UH, IN THE, THE TOWN'S PARKING, UH, STANDARD OF ONE PER 70 PARKING SPACES, UH, BASED ON THAT STANDARD 171 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED, BUT AFTER THOSE SITES, UH, ALTERATIONS TO, UM, MAKE SURE A FIRE LANE WAS ACCOMMODATED, UH, SLOWLY DWINDLED, UH, TO THE 129 SPACES REMAINING ON SITE.

UM, THIS SITE HAS BEEN OPERATIONAL AS A RESTAURANT SINCE THE MID 1990S AND STAFF DOESN'T FORESEE ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE, UM, THE DEFICIENCY IN PARKING.

UH, ADDITIONALLY, UM, I BELIEVE THE, THE ADOPTION OF THE UDC WILL, UH, BRING THIS LIGHT CLOSER INTO COMPLIANCE AS FAR AS THE OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING.

THE, UH, SITE WAS NOT ABLE TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THOSE LANDSCAPING AND BUFFER REQUIREMENTS, BUT ONCE AGAIN, BRINGING IT SIGNIFICANTLY CLOSER, UH, INTO COMPLIANCE, UH, ONE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT IS THE FRONTAGE ALONG BELTLINE ROAD.

UH, THE CURRENT SIDEWALK IS I BELIEVE IT'S A FIVE OR SIX FOOT SIDEWALK ON THE BACK OF CURB ON BELTLINE.

UH, THEY WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE, UH, I BELIEVE IT'S AN 11 FOOT BUFFER BETWEEN THE BACK OF CURB AND THE SIDEWALK AND THE INSTALLATION OF A 10 FOOT, UM, PATH AS WELL, UH, WITH LANDSCAPING TREES, EXTERIOR, UM, FACADE OF THE, OF THE STRUCTURE WILL, UM, IS PROPOSED TO HAVE SOME ENHANCEMENTS, INCLUDING, UH, THE COLOR SCHEME.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO PAINT THE BUILDING WHITE, UH, IT'S CURRENTLY BRICK FACADE.

THEY ALSO ARE PROPOSING TO REPLACE, UH, MANY OF THE WINDOWS AND ALSO REPLACE THE, UM, THE SCREENING AND GUARD RAILS ALONG THE FACADE, UH, ACROSS THE WHOLE STRUCTURE.

THEY WILL ALSO ADD A SOLID WASTE ENCLOSURE AT THE BACK OF THE SITE, UH, THAT THE CURRENT STRUCTURE IS, UH, IN DESPAIR, STAFFS, UH, NOTIFIED ALL PROPERTY OWNERS AND THEN 200 FEET OF THE SITE AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES.

UH, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS THAT THE OPERATING HOURS ARE MODIFIED BASED ON WHAT THE APPLICANT REQUESTED TO, UM, FLOWS AT MY 12:00 AM SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, AND 2:00 AM THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AT THE, TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF SPEAKERS OR SOUND SYSTEM AND, OR LIVE MUSIC ON THE PATIO ANYTIME AFTER 10:00 PM, UH, PROHIBIT THE USE OF BYOB SERVICES THAT THE RESTAURANT AND REPEAL THE LOS LUPE LUPUS, SUP UPON ISSUANCE OF THE CEO FOR THIS RESTAURANT.

YOU HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS, THE, UH, BOTH THE LAST ONE THAT YOU SAID THERE, YOU KNOW, THE LAST MOVIE WHERE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE WOMAN SAYS, WHICH PERMITS THE RESTAURANT AND SINGLE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE?

[00:50:01]

THE QUESTION, YES.

IT WOULD BE THE SUP THAT'S CURRENTLY IN PLACE FOR LOW SLOOP BATES, WHICH IS A RESTAURANT WITH THE SALE OF ALCOHOL FOR OFF PREMISES CONSUMPTION.

YES, SIR.

SO GOING BACK TO THE PARKING QUESTION FOR A SECOND.

SO THE 1 79, 1 71 AND 1 29 OR WHATEVER THOSE NUMBERS WERE, WERE THOSE, THE NUMBERS THAT WERE IN PLACE WHEN MOST LUPUS WAS IN BUSINESS, DID WE CALL FOR ONE SEVENTY ONE? AND WE ONLY HAD 1 29? UH, SO WHEN THIS SITE WAS DEVELOPED, IT WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED AS A JOE'S CRAB SHACK IN THE NINETIES.

AND, UH, THE, I THINK THE, THE PRACTICE AT THE TIME, UH, FROM, FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL IS THAT WHEN THEY DETERMINED THE PARKING AT THAT TIME IN THE NINETIES, THEY DID NOT INCLUDE THE PATIO AREA AND THE PARKING RATIO.

SO THEREFORE THE, THAT NUMBER GOT REALLY SKEWED.

UM, AND THE APPLICANT IS NOW PROPOSING TO EVEN INCREASE THE PATIO AREA WHILE OVERALL THEY ARE ACTUALLY DECREASING THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING.

UM, WE AS PRACTICE TODAY STILL INCLUDE BOTH THE INDOOR DINING AND OUTDOOR DINING FOR THE PARKING RATIO REQUIREMENT.

GOT IT.

THE SECOND QUESTION IS ABOUT THE BUILDING ITSELF, THE, THE, WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DO THE BUILDING IS SORT OF AN EYESORE AND SORT OF AN EYESORE AND, UH, ANY IMPROVEMENT TO THAT, STARTING WITH WHERE THE ENTRANCE IS, YOU KNOW, UM, THAT THAT'S A CHALLENGE FINDING THAT.

SO, UM, THAT'S AN OBSERVATION, SO HOPEFULLY THERE'LL BE, YOU KNOW, IT'LL BE MUCH CLEARER GOING FORWARD.

AND THE LAST PIECE IS, YOU KNOW, JUST SHORT OF A COMMENT.

I CAN'T IN MY YOUNGER DAYS, I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING OUT TO A MIDNIGHT WITHOUT HAVING AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE AND THE IDEA THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE UP THEIR LIQUOR LICENSE, WHICH THEY CURRENTLY HAVE, AND NOT, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE SHORT OF A SITUATION THAT GOES OFF THE RAILS.

WE CAN ASK THE APPLICANT IF YOU'RE IN A FEW MINUTES, UH, LESLIE, COULD YOU BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT BOB SAID? COULD YOU BRING UP THE FLOOR PLAN, PLEASE? YES.

THE INTERIOR OR THE SITE AS PROBABLY GOOD ENOUGH.

IT, CAN YOU, IF YOUR CURSOR KIND OF OUTLINE WHERE THE CURRENT HARD STRUCTURE IS AND WHAT, HOW THE, IN OTHER WORDS, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO DEMO, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO TRANSFORM FROM INDOOR TO THE OUTDOOR PART? IS, ARE THEY JUST GOING TO CONVERT ONE TO ONE, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE OUT PART OF THE INDOOR AND CONVERT IT ONE-TO-ONE TO PATIO, OR ARE THEY GOING TO DEMO PART OF THIS? JUST, CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT AS FAR AS YOU UNDERSTAND OR ELSE I'LL ASK THE APPLICANT LATER ON? YEAH.

I THINK THAT THAT'S PROBABLY A DESCRIBED BETTER, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS THE, UM, UH, PORTION OF THE PATIO AREA WILL ACTUALLY BE DEMOED AND RECONSTRUCTED.

SO THEY'RE PROPOSING TO, UM, SO SOME OF THIS AREA IN THE INTERIOR WHERE MY CURSOR IS, UM, WILL BE CONVERTED FROM INTERIOR TO PATIO.

SO THEY WILL BE, UM, ESSENTIALLY RELOCATING THE EXTERIOR WALL ON THE PATIO.

UM, HOWEVER, THEY ARE ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY CHANGING THE, THE FOOTPRINT OF THE PATIO AS WELL.

I'M NOT SURE AS FAR AS IF THAT WILL REQUIRE THEM TO, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DEMO THE ENTIRE PATIO, BUT POTENTIALLY JUST A PORTION OF IT.

UM, I DON'T KNOW THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION, SO THAT WILL PLAY A BIG PART.

AFRICA, THAT QUESTION TO THAT.

SO, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LESLIE AND COMMISSIONER NANCY? YOU HAVE, LESLIE, YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT I SOLID WASTE AND CLOSURE.

IS THAT A NEW CONSTRUCTION? WHAT WILL THEY BE DOING THERE? YEAH, SO, UM, THE SOLID WASTE ENCLOSURE WILL BE LOCATED IT'S AT THE BACK OF THE BUILDING.

UM, AND IT'S IN THE SAME LOCATION AT CURRENTLY IS THERE IS, UH, AN, UH, SOLID WASTE ENCLOSURE NOW.

UM, BUT IT'S JUST IS A DISREPAIR.

THAT WAS MY CONCERN.

I CAN'T IMAGINE RIGHT.

THAT, UH, IT'S IN, UH, IN GOOD SHAPE.

SO I WAS HOPING IT WOULD BE RECONSTRUCTED.

SO, UM, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT ON THIS, UM, OR MY CURSOR IS, HAVE TO SAY SO, AND THEN THIS, UM, THE, THE MIDDLE, UH, FACADE IS ACTUALLY THE BACK OF THE BUILDING AND THOSE WOULD BE MY FIRST OR DISAPPEARED.

THESE ARE THE DOORS, UH, TO THE SOLID WASTE ENCLOSURE.

SO THEY WILL ACTUALLY MATCH THE GUARDRAIL.

SO THE, THE MATERIALS WILL CARRY THROUGH TO THAT AS WELL.

PERFECT.

UM, I ASSUME YOU GUYS WERE THE APPLICANTS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LESLIE OR STAFF? ALRIGHT.

[00:55:01]

YES.

UH, DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION OR ARE YOU JUST PREPARED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS? COULD YOU GO TO THE PODIUM PLEASE AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? AND WE HAVE THE OPERATOR ON ZOOM FROM HOUSTON AS WELL.

MY NAME IS MUHAMMAD CHIPPERY AND THE LANDLORD.

UH, MY ADDRESS IS 9 0 5 ROOMS FOR COMPARATORS IN TEXAS.

AND, UM, I HAD ONE CONCERN ABOUT THE PLAY AREA WITH THE CHILDREN, UM, BECAUSE OF THE WEEKEND, IT'S VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND, UH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PLAY AREA SECURES THE CHILDREN TO THE LEVEL THAT THERE'S NO ACCIDENT HAPPEN.

THEY COULD RUN OUT TO THE PARKING LOTS OR SOMETHING BECAUSE BE NEXT DOOR AND JUST INTO THIS, UH, THIS FACILITY.

AND WE LOVE TO HELP THEM.

UH, WE HAVE HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEM.

THEY'RE VERY GOOD OPERATORS USE TO, AND WE'D LOVE TO HAVE THEM NEXT COURSE, BUT BE CONCERNED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY GOING TO HELP ME WITH THE CHILDREN, UM, BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE IT'S A VERY ADULT, UH, TRAFFIC AT THE WEEKENDS, VERY ADULT TRAFFIC AND, UH, WE ALCOHOL OF MY GENERAL SERVICE OF HARLEM.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CHILDREN ON THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY IN THAT AREA WHERE EXACTLY, I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST STARTED FEELING IT OUT, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY SECURE THE CHILDREN, UH, FOR THE SAFETY THAT DID NOT RUN OUT TO THE PARK BECAUSE OUR PARKING LOT IN THEIR PARKING LOT IS ALMOST SAME NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND GOD FORBID SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN.

SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE TO, YOU KNOW, FOR YOU FOLKS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SECURE THE CHILDREN TO THE LEVEL THAT THERE'S NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED, PLEASE.

SO YOU'RE THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR ELLA MIRROR, CORRECT? YES.

UH, OUR GROUP HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING IN REFERENCE TO ALCOHOL.

NO, MR. JOHN IS MY ART.

JANET.

YOU'VE BEEN THERE FOR 10 YEARS.

THEY RUN GOOD OPERATIONS AND BUY CHEVY HAD HEARD GOOD THING ABOUT RICHARD HOUSTON.

THEY'RE VERY FINE OPERATOR, BUT MY CONCERN IS BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CHILDREN DON'T BECOME MARQUEE.

AND ALSO SOME FAMILY, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE MORE EXCITED, WHICH IS WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SECURE.

YOU WANT TO REPEAT YOUR QUESTION? UM, MY QUESTION IS AROUND THE SALE OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGES OR THE IDEA IS THE LANDLORD HI EVERYONE.

HOW ARE YOU? GOOD, GOOD.

HOW ARE YOU GUYS? SO MY QUESTION, WELL, YOU START OFF.

COULD YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF, YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE? MY NAME IS SAAD JAWAD, UH, MYSELF AND A MOD.

UH, WHO'S ON THE OTHER LINE.

UH, WE'RE THE OWNERS, THE LANDLORD, UH, AND THE OPERATORS OF LAPORSHA LOUNGE AND GRILL IN HOUSTON.

AND AS WELL AS WE'RE PLANNING ON OPENING ONE IN ADDISON, TEXAS, THAT'S THE PLAN.

GREAT.

SO COULD YOU FIRST ADDRESS THE CONCERN ABOUT, UH, WHO WAS RAISED BY THIS GENTLEMAN AS FAR AS SAFETY OF CHILDREN IN THE AREA, UH, ADJACENT TO YOUR BUILDING? YEAH, THE MOTHER, I THINK YOU'RE ON MUTE.

I THINK HE WAS TRYING TO ANSWER THAT.

UM, SO I'M SO SORRY.

I APOLOGIZE.

UH, I THINK SOD GAVE AN INTRO, BUT I'M ACTUALLY IN MY CAR.

I HAD TO COME TO SCHOOL TODAY FOR MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE IT WAS HER OPENING DAY AT SCHOOL AND IT WAS PARENT TEACHER NIGHT.

SO MY APOLOGIES THAT I COULD NOT BE THERE, BUT I AM THERE.

AND SPIRIT, AS SOD MENTIONED, WE ARE THE DEVELOPERS AND OWNERS AND OPERATORS FOR THIS PROPERTY.

AND LET'S GET STRAIGHT TO IT.

I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION AROUND THE SAFETY, UH, FOR, FOR, FOR MR. J PURI, HE HAS A VERY VALID CONCERN AND, UH, I WISH HE ADDRESSED ME IN PERSON PRIOR, BUT I GUESS YOU WANTED TO DO IT IN THIS STAGE WITH IS FINE, BUT WE'VE DONE OUR, OUR, OUR, OUR, UH, WE ARE BUILDING A SMALL KIDS' PLAY AREA.

SO LET ME JUST GO BACK A LITTLE.

WE DO NOT, AND THIS IS GOING TO ANSWER THE QUESTION IN REFERENCE TO THE ALCOHOL COMPONENT TOO.

SO WE'RE MORE OF A FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT, RATHER THAN BEING LIKE A YOUNG TEEN ENVIRONMENT WHERE, OR A MIDDLE AGE ENVIRONMENT.

WE'RE MORE OF A FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT.

UH, WE HAVE, UH, SO WE'RE ACTUALLY ADDING AN AMENITY OF A PLAYGROUND, BUT WE'RE DOING THAT BY SAYING THAT WE'RE EXTENDING THE PATIO AND WITHIN THE PATIO, WE'RE ADDING A SMALL LITTLE PLAY AREA.

SO, UH, THE KIDS CAN NOT ACCESS THE PARKING LOT.

THE PLAYGROUND WILL NOT ESSENTIALLY BE IN THE PARKING LOT.

IT WILL BE IN THE PATIO TO ANSWER HIS QUESTION AND, UH, TO GET TO THE SECOND QUESTION IN REFERENCE TO ALCOHOL.

[01:00:01]

WE DO VERY WELL HERE IN HOUSTON, WHERE WE'RE WELL RENOUNCED RESTAURANT IN HOUSTON, AND WE LOOKED TO BRING THAT SAME ATMOSPHERE AND ENVIRONMENT IN DALLAS.

SO, UH, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, IF I SHOW YOU, IF I SHOW YOU THE, THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE WE DO WITHOUT ALCOHOL, I THINK IT WOULD SURPRISE YOU GUYS, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED.

IT WOULD SHOCK ME.

I THAT'S MY COMPETITORS THERE.

I DON'T WANT TO SHARE MY INFORMATION AROUND REVENUE, BUT IF WE HAVE A PRIVATE MEETING, I'M GENERALLY TELLING YOU, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT, WE'RE GOING TO ADD A LOT OF VALUE FROM A SALES TAX PERSPECTIVE.

SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

UH, AND, AND THE QUESTION ABOUT, UM, EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO CONVERT FROM THE INTERIOR SPACE TO THE PATIO, IS IT, IS IT A ONE-TO-ONE CONVERSION OR ARE YOU DEMOLISHING PART OF THE, THE CURRENT RESTAURANT AND ADDING MORE PATIO OR JUST, HOW IS THE CONSTRUCTION GOING TO GO? YEAH, SO I'M GOING TO LIKE KENNY ADDRESS THIS KENNY IS PARTS OF HEIGHTS, HEIGHTS VENTURE, AND HE IS OUR ARCHITECT.

SO HE CAN GIVE YOU EXACTLY THE ANSWERS YOU WANT.

KENNY, ARE YOU THERE? YES.

SO KENNEDY, CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND GIVE YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE? YES.

UH, KENNY, LOOK FOR US TO PUT THE ARCHITECTS, UH, 50, 50 PAIR RANCH DRIVE DALLAS.

UM, SO LESLIE WAS CORRECT.

THE WAY WE APPROACHED THE TRANSITION FOR THE PATIO SPACE WAS TO RELOCATE THE EXTERIOR WALL BASICALLY.

AND WE'RE TAKING WHAT WAS FORMERLY THE BAR AREA AT THE LOS NEW BASE AND INTEGRATING THAT INTO THE PATIO SPACE REALLY BY CONVERTING, UH, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE EXTERIOR WALL RIGHT HERE, VERTICALLY DOWN THE SIDE AND CONVERTING WHAT IS CURRENTLY AN INTERIOR WALL THAT SEPARATES THE BAR AREA FROM THE DINING AREA ALREADY.

WE'RE JUST RELOCATING THE EXTERIOR WALL TO THAT SPACE.

SO WE TRANSITIONED WHAT WAS FORMERLY INTERIOR AND NOW EXTERIOR, THERE WAS THE ACTUAL BAR AREA THAT WAS INCORRECT.

CORRECT.

AND WILL THAT BE A SEASONAL PATIO OR COULD IT BE USED YEAR ROUND? SAW THE MOB? THE GOAL IS FOR IT TO USE IT YEAR ROUND, OR MAKE SURE TO DESIGN IT IN A WAY THAT IT CAN BE USED, UH, LITERALLY 12 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR.

SO IT WOULD BE VENTILATED FROM, UH, IN THE EVENT IF IT'S RAINING OR IF IT'S, OR IF IT'S COLD, IT WOULD BE VENTILATED OR IN THE EVENTS IT'S HOT AT ALL.

SO, YEAH, I BELIEVE WE'RE PROPOSING, THEY'RE PROPOSING A, WE'RE GOING TO EXTEND THE PORTION OF THE, THE INTENTION IS TO EXTEND A PORTION OF THE EXISTING ROOF TO CREATE A PERMANENT ROOF.

BUT THEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PATIO, HAVING A RETRACTABLE AWNING SYSTEM TO PREVENT, TO COVER THE REST OF THIS, NO, I DON'T.

AND I DON'T WHO ASKED THIS QUESTION IN REFERENCE TO AN EYESORE, BUT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY SEE WHAT, WHAT YOU SEE IN THE RENDERINGS IS W WHEN YOU SEE IT IN PERSON, IT DEFINITELY WON'T BE AN EYESORE.

SO I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO BEAT IN A DEAD HORSE HERE ABOUT THE ALCOHOL SALES AGAIN.

CAUSE I'M JUST VERY CURIOUS.

UM, A LOT OF RESTAURANTS CAN'T SURVIVE WITHOUT ALCOHOL.

WHAT'S YOUR SECRET IN DOING SO WELL WITHOUT HAVING TO SERVE ALCOHOL? SO OBVIOUSLY WE'RE, WE'RE A MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANT, CORRECT? SO OUR MEDITERRANEAN FOOD IS WHAT WERE ANNOUNCED.

CAUSE WE HAVE, WE HAVE, WE HAVE A WORLD RENOWNED CHEF THAT'S, THAT'S ESSENTIALLY A PART OF OUR TEAM.

RIGHT.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S, WHAT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO DIFFERENTIATE US FROM OUR COMPETITOR THAT HAS ALCOHOL NEXT DOOR, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ALCOHOL.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT WE ALSO HAVE TO ADD IS, UH, OUR DRINKS, OUR TEAS, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, JUST OVERALL OR FOOD.

I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IN IT.

AND THEN ALL I'M SORRY.

I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

NOW.

I REMEMBER WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

I WAS THINKING OF TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AND, AND, AND OUR OPERATIONS, RIGHT? WE TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN OUR OPERATIONS BEFORE WE'RE DEVELOPERS, WE'RE OPERATORS.

WE OPERATE RESTAURANTS, YOU KNOW, AT A HIGH LEVEL, FROM A SERVICE PERSPECTIVE.

SO THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, UH, WE DIDN'T, WE WANTED TO COME TO ADDISON OR WANTED TO BE IN DALLAS, BUT QUITE HONESTLY, WE'RE COMING BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF DEMAND THAT WE'RE RECEIVING IN HOUSTON.

LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THAT KNOWS US HAS BEEN VERY ADAMANT ABOUT US COMING INTO ADDISON.

SO, I MEAN, THAT'S THE EXCITEMENT HERE.

I MEAN, AND THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO TRICK HERE.

I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE BYOB AFTER TANNER OR NOTHING LIKE THAT.

I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU CAN COME THERE AT ANY TIME AND WE JUST WON'T HAVE ALCOHOL.

WE'LL BE WATCHING YOU.

AND I WOULD LOVE TO HOST YOU GUYS.

I'D LOVE TO CATER FOR YOU GUYS.

I'D LOVE FOR CATER FOR THE CITY.

I'D LOVE TO GIVE BACK TO THE CITY AND, AND ALL THE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE TO GIVE BACK, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU IF YOU WALK INTO ANY OF MY ESTABLISHMENT THAT I OWN, YOU WILL NEVER FIND OUT.

[01:05:01]

VERY GOOD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OUTCOME OR STAFF? I HAVE JUST ONE OTHER IT.

SO IF IT'S APPROVED, WHEN DO YOU GUYS PLAN TO START? AND WHEN WOULD YOU BE OPEN FOR RESIDENTS? SO AS SOON AS WE GET A PERMIT, WE'LL START CONSTRUCTION.

AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE US ABOUT, I WOULD SAY, GIVE OR TAKE FOUR MONTHS FOR OUR BUILD-OUT, UH, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE INVESTING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT IN OUR BUILD-OUT BOTH ON THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR SIDE.

BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I THINK, I THINK I SHOULD BE DONE BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE MONTHS.

I HAVE A QUESTION JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY.

I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO DISCOURAGE YOU KIND OF TO ADDISON, BUT IF YOUR GOAL IS TO EXPAND, YOU HAVE THE ONE LOCATION IN HOUSTON.

AND IF YOUR GOAL IS TO EXPAND YOUR OPERATION, WHY, WHY WOULD YOU NOT LOOK AT OTHER PLACES IN HOUSTON AND KEEP YOUR OPERATION CENTRALIZED? SO I, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE NOT DOING A MCDONALD'S HERE.

WE CAN MULTIPLY.

IT'S A, IT'S A UNIQUE MEDITERRANEAN FOOD, RIGHT? IT'S NOT WHERE YOU COULD MULTIPLY IT.

SO WE CATER TO PRETTY MUCH ALL OF HOUSTON BECAUSE IN HOUSTON WE SEAT ABOUT FIVE TO 600 PEOPLE.

AND, UH, I BELIEVE THAT THE SEATING IS IF NOT THERE, BUT VERY CLOSE TO IT.

SO I THINK IT WOULD'VE MADE MORE SENSE FROM A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE TO BE IN A DIFFERENT MARKET RATHER THAN CANNIBALIZING WITHIN OUR OWN MARKET.

FAIR ENOUGH.

ANYTHING ELSE? NOT ALL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING.

DO I HAVE A MOTION ON THIS CASE? MOVE TO APPROVE CASE 1 8 5, 4 DASH SUP SLASH 3 8 5 5 BELTLINE ROAD.

LAPORSHA REGARDING AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT STP FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 38 55 BELTLINE ROAD.

THAT IS CURRENTLY ZONED LAND DEVELOPMENT PD ORDINANCE NUMBER 0 9 4 DASH 0 3 7.

TO ALLOW A RESTAURANT WITH CONDITIONS AS STATED IN STAFF REPORT.

UH, SECOND, SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED ANY ABSTENTIONS MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IF THERE'S NO OTHER FURTHER BUSINESS, WE ARE ADJOURNED.

I HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE WE ADJOURN ABOUT YEAH.

SO JUST TO BACK UP, I'M SORRY I WAS ON MUTE, SO I DIDN'T SPEAK UP, BUT THE ONE BEFORE THAT WE VOTED ON, UM, THE TOASTED YOLK, HE SAID HE ONLY SAID THE FIRST THING THAT THE STAFF ASKED, HE DIDN'T SAY FOR, I DIDN'T, IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THAT HE SAID TO REVOKE THE SUP AND TO, UM, REVISIT IF FEDEX LEAVES.

I THINK WE CONDITIONS LISTED.

I THINK THAT THE CONDITIONS WERE IN THERE.

HE READ THE FIRST ONE, SO I DIDN'T HEAR THE OTHER.
