SVP FOR PROPERTY, LOCATED AT 1 63 0 1 QUORUM DRIVE THAT IS CURRENTLY ZONED COMMERCIAL ONE C ONE TO ALLOW A PHILANTHROPIC INSTITUTION CASE.

1918 DASH SUP, JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES OF GREATER DALLAS LESLIE.

STAFF REPORT LESLIE KNIGHT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.

UH, THIS REQUEST IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO, FOR A, UM, PHILANTHROPIC INSTITUTION TO OCCUPY PARKSIDE CORPORATE CENTER, AN EXISTING, UM, OFFICE BUILDINGS, UH, OR PROPERTY OFF OF ON THE WEST SIDE OF QUORUM DRIVE.

UH, SO THE, UM, ORGANIZATION IS JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES OF GREATER DALLAS, AND, UM, THEY HAVE SUBMITTED THIS SUP TO ASK THE TOWN TO, UH, ALLOW THEM TO OCCUPY THE SITE.

SO THIS PARTICULAR SITE WAS FIRST DEVELOPED IN 2001 AS, UM, THE PARKSIDE CORPORATE CENTER, UH, INCLUDING THE TWO EXISTING OFFICE BUILDINGS AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS TODAY.

IT HAS LARGELY REMAINED, UM, THE SAME AS IT AS IT WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED AND HAS BEEN UTILIZED BY VARIOUS OFFICE TENANTS OVER TIME.

UM, IT WAS DEVELOPED UNDER OUR CURRENT LANDSCAPE, OR EXCUSE ME, OUR CURRENT ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

SO, UM, NEARLY ALL OF THE SITE WAS, UM, IN COMPLIANCE WITH HER CURRENT REGULATIONS, AND I'LL NOTE LATER IN THE PRESENTATION, UH, WHICH OF THOSE WAS NOT IN COMPLIANCE.

AND THEN, UM, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THIS IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW, UM, JFS TO OCCUPY THE SITE.

SO, UH, JFS IS A, UH, ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES A VARIETY OF SOCIAL SERVICES.

UM, THEY HAVE FOUR CORE SERVICE COMPONENTS INCLUDING PHYSICAL HEALTH, EMOTIONAL HEALTH, NUTRITIONAL HEALTH, AND FINANCIAL HEALTH.

UM, SO FOR THE PHYSICAL HEALTH, UM, SERVICES THEY PROVIDE, UM, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PROVIDE A MEDICAL CLINIC ON SITE.

UM, THEY, THERE IS AREA IDENTIFIED FOR FUTURE EXPANSION OF THAT.

THEY CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE THAT AT THEIR EXISTING LOCATION, WHICH IS LOCATED AT, UM, MONTFORD AND ARAPAHOE.

HOWEVER, THEY'RE QUITE, UM, CONSTRAINED IN THAT FACILITY AS IT'S MUCH SMALLER THAN, UM, PARKSIDE CORPORATE CENTER AS IT'S APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.

UH, SO THIS NEW FACILITY WOULD ALLOW THEM TO, UM, ADD THESE ADDITIONAL SERVICES, UM, AT THIS LOCATION.

THERE, UM, ARE ALSO PROVIDE EMOTIONAL HEALTH.

SO THIS PROVIDES, UM, A VARIETY OF COUNSELING OR THERAPY SERVICES.

UM, HERE ON THE, THE BOTTOM RENDERING SHOWS, UH, EXAMPLE OF THEIR PLAY THERAPY ROOM, WHICH IS, UM, TAILORED TO CHILDREN OBVIOUSLY.

AND THEN, UH, NUTRITIONAL HEALTH, THEY ARE OFFERING FOOD PANTRY SERVICES ONSITE AS WELL.

AND FOR FINANCIAL HEALTH, THEY HAVE, UM, BOTH CAREER AND FINANCIAL ER UH, COACHING.

UM, THEY ALSO HAVE A TRAINING CENTER, UM, AND, UM, THEY HAVE A, WHAT LOOKS LIKE A COMPUTER LAB, UH, FOR THOSE THAT WHETHER THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS OR THEY WOULD LIKE TO FURTHER DEVELOP OTHER SKILLS, UM, TO ENTER OR ADVANCE WITHIN THE WORKFORCE.

SO, UH, CURRENTLY JFS HAS 60 EMPLOYEES.

THEY HOPE TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND THEIR ORGANIZATION, UM, TO ANYWHERE FROM 85 TO 120 THAT WOULD BE ON SITE AND THE HOURS OF OPERATION FOR, UM, MOST OF THEIR SERVICES AS WELL AS THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, UM, ARE AS FOLLOWS, INCLUDING MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, EIGHT 30 TO 8:00 PM THURSDAY, EIGHT 30 TO SIX AND FRIDAY EIGHT 30 TO 5:00 PM SO FOR THE FOOD PANTRY, THERE ARE, UM, KIND OF SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THIS AS, UM, IT IS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, AS IS MOST OF THEIR OTHER SERVICES.

THIS IS JUST FURTHER LIMITED.

SO, UH, THEY DO 15 MINUTE APPOINTMENT SLOTS AND THEY DO SEVEN CLIENTS PER, UM, TIME SLOT.

AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE, UM, MUCH MORE LIMITED HOURS OF OPERATION THAN THE OTHER SERVICES.

SO, UH, THE FOOD PANTRY HOURS OF OPERATION INCLUDE TUESDAY,

[00:10:01]

AND, UM, THEY HAVE A LOADING SPACE ON SITE, WHICH THEY CAN DO THAT.

ADDITIONALLY, UM, THE AREAS WHICH THE FOOD PANTRY SERVES IS SHOWN, UM, IN THIS MAP HERE.

THESE ARE ACTUALLY, THIS IS THE SERVICE AREA THAT'S SET BY THE NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK.

AND SO THE JFS DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO SET THIS, BUT THESE ARE THE DESIGNATED AREAS WHICH THEY SERVE.

UH, SO IN ORDER TO, UM, USE THE SERVICES OF THE FOOD PANTRY, THEY HAVE TO QUALIFY, UH, INCLUDING BEING LOCATED WITHIN THESE AREAS.

UM, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THEY DO CURRENTLY SERVE APPROXIMATELY 900 ADDISON RESIDENTS, INCLUDING THE FOOD PANTRY AND THEIR OTHER SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE.

SO WALKING THROUGH THE, UH, FLOOR PLAN THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO UTILIZE.

SO IN THE BLUE FLOOR PLAN, THOSE ARE THE PRIVATE, UM, I'M GONNA CALL IT ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES USED FOR JFS.

AND THEN THE YELLOW OR GOLD AREAS ARE THOSE THAT ARE, UM, MAYBE MORE PUBLIC OR USED AS THEIR SERVICE AREAS FOR THE VARIOUS, UM, CLIENTS OR CUSTOMERS THAT THEY HELP OR ASSIST.

UM, THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS THAT ARE KIND OF, THAT ARE STILL IN WHITE.

THOSE ARE, UM, KIND OF COMMON AREAS OR AREAS FOR FUTURE EXPANSION THAT THEY DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE PROGRAMMED.

UM, BUT OVER TIME, AS I MENTIONED, THEY HOPE TO EXPAND AND, AND NEED THOSE AREAS IN THE FUTURE.

UH, SO THE ENTIRE BUILDINGS, OR EXCUSE ME, BOTH BUILDINGS COMBINE AS APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.

UM, BOTH BUILDINGS 50,000 SQUARE FEET IN EACH FLOOR, UH, 25,000 SQUARE FEET.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE CORE AREAS ARE DIVIDED BY FLOOR AND BUILDING.

SO EACH OF THE FOUR CORE AREAS GENERALLY HAS ITS OWN FLOOR AND, UH, WITHIN EACH BUILDING, UH, WITH SEVERAL OF THE, UM, JFS ADMIN OFFICES AND OTHER USES SPRINKLED IN THROUGHOUT.

SO LOOKING AT, UM, BUILDING A LEVEL ONE, WHICH IS THE NORTHERNMOST BUILDING.

UM, ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, UH, THEY HAVE A LOBBY AREA, AN INTAKE AREA.

THIS IS HOW THEY IDENTIFY WHAT SERVICES YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR IF YOU ARE A CUSTOMER, UM, OR CLIENT OF THEIRS.

AND THEN THERE'S TRAINING ROOMS FOR THAT COULD BE USED FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES.

UM, ON THE, UM, TOP OF THE SCREEN, THAT'S WHERE THE MEDICAL CLINIC IS ON THE FAR LEFT.

AND, UH, YOU'LL SEE FUTURE EXPANSION AREAS, UH, FOR POSSIBLY MEDICAL AND OR DENTAL CLINIC EXPANSION AND OFF IN A SMALL AREA OF OFFICE AS WELL TO THE LEFT OF THE TRAINING ROOM.

UM, ON LEVEL ONE, BUILDING B ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, UH, THE FOOD PANTRY IS LOCATED THERE.

SO, UM, THE FOOD PANTRY HAS DIRECT ACCESS TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE SITE.

SO INDIVIDUALS WOULD ENTER INTO THE ENTRANCE AND THERE'S A WAITING ROOM AND A LOBBY, UM, A KIND OF A CHECK-IN AREA.

THERE IS A SHOPPING AREA THAT LOOKS SIMILAR TO A GROCERY STORE.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A STORAGE AREA.

SO THEY HAVE THREE DIFFERENT, UH, DOORS, AN ENTRY DOOR, AN EXIT DOOR, AND THEN A DELIVERIES ONLY DOOR THAT ALL SERVE THE FOOD PANTRY.

UM, YOU ALSO SEE, UM, THERE'S TRAINING ROOMS AS WELL AS, EXCUSE ME, THE TRAINING CENTER AS WELL AS VARIOUS BREAK ROOMS, UM, AND SERVICES FOR THE JFS STAFF.

THERE IS ALSO, UM, A FAIRLY LARGE AREA OF OFFICE FOR FUTURE EXPANSION AS WELL.

AND THEN FOR THE SECOND FLOOR, UM, ON THE LEFT WE HAVE BUILDING A, WHICH INCLUDES CAREER AND FINANCIAL SERVICES AND SEVERAL OF THE, UM, JFS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, UM, MEETING SPACE AND FUTURE EXPANSION FOR OFFICE.

AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, UM, THIS IS WHERE THE EMOTIONAL HEALTH SERVICES, INCLUDING COUNSELING, UM, PLAY THERAPY AND MEETING SPACE OCCURS.

THERE'S ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL FUTURE EXPANSION AREA FOR OFFICE FOR PARKING ON THE SITE.

THERE ARE NO MODIFICATIONS PROPOSED.

UM, STAFF DOES BELIEVE THAT THE SITE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEMAND.

SO THERE'S CURRENTLY 353 SPACES, UM, THAT ARE PROVIDED.

AND SINCE JFS OPERATES PRIMARILY BY APPOINTMENT FOR MOST OF THEIR SERVICES, UM, IT'S UNLIKELY THAT THEY WOULD EXPERIENCE A SIGNIFICANT SURGE OF DEMAND AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

UM, WORST CASE SCENARIO, THEY ARE FAIRLY BUSY FOR A STEADY AMOUNT OF TIME.

THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TURNOVER WITH THEIR, UM, SCHEDULING TO NOT, UM, CREATE SUCH A LARGE DEMAND THAT IT WOULD SPILL OUT OF THE SITE.

UH, ADDITIONALLY THERE IS AN EXISTING, UM, BUS STOP JUST, UM, OR ON THE FRONTAGE OF THE SITE ON QUORUM DRIVE FOR THE LANDSCAPING.

UM, THE SITE DID PRIMARILY COMPLY WITH ALMOST ALL OF THE REGULATIONS.

THE ONE ITEM THAT IT DID NOT IS THAT THERE ARE SHRUBS REQUIRED IN THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG QUORUM

[00:15:01]

UM, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THOSE WERE INSTALLED WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY CONSTRUCTED IN 2001 AND HAVE DIED OVER TIME.

UH, WITH THIS REQUEST, THE SITE WILL BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE AND THEY WILL INSTALL SHRUBS ALONG THE FRONTAGE.

NO ADDITIONAL MODIFICATIONS OR TREE REMOVALS, UM, PROPOSED WITH THIS REQUEST.

UM, THERE ARE ALMOST NO MODIFICATIONS PROPOSED TO THE, UH, BUILDING FACADES.

THEY ARE PROPOSING TO ADD TWO EXTERIOR DOORS FOR THE FOOD PANTRY TO ALLOW AN ENTRY DOOR, AN EXIT DOOR, AND THEN A DELIVERIES ONLY DOOR JUST TO IT.

UM, EXPEDITES THEIR FLOW IN THE FOOD PANTRY, UM, HOW THEY HAVE THEIR, UH, TIME SLOTS, UM, WITH 15 MINUTE TIME SLOTS AND, UH, SEVEN CUSTOMERS PER TIME SLOT.

UH, STAFF DID NOTIFY ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE 200 FEET OF THE SITE, AND THAT INCLUDED 10 DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNERS.

UM, AND WE RECEIVED ONE RESPONSE IN SUPPORT THAT WAS FROM MARY KAY.

UH, THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE, UM, MEETING PACKET.

AND THEN, UM, SINCE THAT TIME WE DID RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM OUTSIDE THE NOTICE BOUNDARY.

UM, AND THAT WAS PROVIDED AT YOUR SEAT AND THAT WAS FROM METRO CREST.

UM, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST AND WE HAVE, UM, PROVIDED, UH, OR SUGGESTED ONE ADDITIONAL, UM, CONDITION, WHICH IS THAT THERE SHALL BE NO OUTSIDE STORAGE OF GOOD EQUIPMENT OR MATERIALS, UH, THAT'S NOT CUSTOMARILY INTENDED TO BE STORED OUTSIDE.

UM, THIS JUST, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE IS, UM, DELIVERIES THAT THERE'S NOT ANY KIND OF DEBRIS OR MATERIALS THAT'S KIND OF LEFT ON SITE THAT COULD BECOME UNSIGHTLY IN ANY WAY.

UM, I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AND, UM, THE APPLICANT IS, UM, PRESENT TO SPEAK.

ANY QUESTIONS? WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO SPEAK? YOU DON'T HAVE TO, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO JOKO.

YOU, YOU OKAY? OKAY, THANK YOU.

OKAY.

I'LL NOW OPEN, EXCUSE ME, UP FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENTS PORTION OF THE HEARING.

IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK PLEA, DO PLEASE DO SO, UM, I HAVE ONE CALL OR ONE FORM THAT WAS FILLED OUT BY MIKE LANE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

WHAT? OH, SORRY, WRONG ONE.

SORRY.

, SORRY.

UH, WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH, UM, KATHY BAR, BANKER BARKER.

I CAN'T BARKER IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK.

THAT'S OKAY.

UP HERE TO THIS PODIUM HERE.

AND THERE'S A BUTTON TO TURN IT ON TO MAKE IT GREEN.

UHHUH .

AND THEN, UH, YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR COMMENTS FOR THREE MINUTES, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

ABSOLUTELY.

UH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US.

MY NAME'S KATHY BARKER, I'M THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE OF GREATER DALLAS.

I'VE BEEN WITH THE ORGANIZATION SINCE 2010 AND THE CEO SINCE 2018.

I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW TRANSFORMATIONAL BEING ABLE TO MOVE FROM OUR 28,000 SQUARE FOOT, UH, FORMER MONTGOMERY WARD AUTO REPAIR FACILITY, IF YOU REMEMBER THEM ALL.

THAT WAS ACROSS THE WAY.

SO IF YOU'RE A STAFF PERSON LIKE MYSELF THAT HAS BEEN HERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME, TO GO FROM THAT TO THIS BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS AT PARKSIDE.

AND THEN IF YOU THINK OF THE DIGNITY AND RESPECT AND THE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE, UH, DIFFERENT CLIENTS THAT WE SERVE, UM, WE'RE GOOD CLOSE FRIENDS WITH TRACY EUBANKS AND METROCREST, AND WE SERVE SIMILAR FOLKS.

UM, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE PRIDE IN OURSELVES IS MAKING SURE THAT THE EXPERIENCE THAT THEY ALL RECEIVE, UH, IS VERY DIGNIFIED AND THAT IT'S A PLACE THAT WE WOULD WANNA GO.

AND SO WE APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S CONSIDERATION OF THIS REQUEST.

UH, YOU'LL FIND THAT WE ARE WONDERFUL NEIGHBORS.

UH, OUR STAFF ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO BEING A PART OF ADDISON.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'M GLAD YOU, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP, UM, THAT YOU TALKED TO TRACY.

I MEAN, I FIGURED YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS HAVE THIS, HAVE THIS SAME TYPE OF SERVICE AND I'M GLAD THAT HE, I KNEW YOU GUYS.

I I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION.

SO HE'S, ONE OF THE POINTS THAT HE MADE, WHICH I THINK IS GOOD, IS THAT IT WHEN YOU GOOGLE, UH, NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK AND WHERE TO GO, UM, THEY DON'T COVER ALL OF ADDISON.

AND SO ACTUALLY OUR ADDRESS COMES UP ON OUR OTHER LOCATION, AND SO IT'LL HELP SOME OF ADDISON RESIDENTS AND THEN CARROLLTON FARMERS BRANCH AND YOU KNOW, THAT AREA.

BUT HE SAID THAT HE, HE'S VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

WE'RE, WE'VE BEEN STRONG PARTNERS FOR, YOU KNOW, IT'S A CLUB.

YEAH.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY, THANK YOU.

I WILL CLOSE THE OPEN PORTION OF THIS MEETING, UM, CONFIRMING ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS? NO.

OKAY.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE CASE 1918 SUP, THE JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES

[00:20:01]

DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE.

ME AND DENY.

OKAY.

MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU.

WELCOME.

UM, ONTO THE FINAL ITEM.

[5. Hold a public hearing, present, discuss, and consider action on a request to amend the permitted uses and approval of development plans for Planned Development (PD) District, Ordinance No. 089-015, for a 0.64± acre property located at 4545 Belt Line Road, to allow an extended stay hotel. Case 1903-Z/Suburban Studio Extended Stay (4545 Belt Line Rd). ]

19 0 3 DASH Z SUBURBAN STUDIO, EXTENDED STAY, 1445 BELTLINE ROAD.

LESLIE STAFF REPORT.

LESLIE KNIGHT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.

UH, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 45 45 BELTLINE ROAD.

UM, THIS SITE DOES NOT HAVE DIRECT FRONTAGE ON BELTLINE ROAD, HOWEVER, IT DOES HAVE A, UM, ACCESS EASEMENT, UH, WHICH EXTENDS SOUTH FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY TO BELTLINE ROAD.

UM, SO THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE IT'S ADDRESSED OFF OF BELTLINE ROAD.

UH, THIS REQUEST IS A PLAN, IT'S A A TWO PART REQUEST.

UH, THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS, UH, ASSOCIATED WITH IT INCLUDES A PLAN, DEVELOP PLAN DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT TO, UH, MODIFY THE PERMITTED USES IDENTIFIED IN THE EXISTING PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UH, WHICH IS ORDINANCE NUMBER OH EIGHT NINE DASH OH 15.

AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, A REQUEST TO APPROVE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR A NEW EXTENDED STAY HOTEL, UH, SUBURBAN STUDIOS ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

UH, SO THE FIRST, UM, ITEM THAT WE WILL, UM, GO THROUGH IS THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE PD TO MODIFY THE PERMITTED USES.

UH, SO BEFORE YOU, IS THE EXISTING DEFINITION OF A HOTEL WITHIN THE ADDISON ZONING ORDINANCE.

SO, UM, ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS MEANS IS THE, UH, WITHOUT THIS AMENDMENT, THE REQUEST WOULD NEED TO COMPLY WITH THIS DEFINITION.

UH, SO A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT OF NOTE IS THAT, UH, THIS DEFINITION INCLUDES, UM, THINGS LIKE DAILY LINEN OR MAID SERVICES OR HOUSEKEEPING.

UM, IT ALSO INCLUDES THINGS LIKE A LOBBY FITNESS CENTER, FULL COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, AS WELL AS A MINIMUM OF 5,000 SQUARE FEET OF MEETING SPACE.

UM, SOME ADDITIONAL ACCESSORY USES THAT MAY BE APPROPRIATE, SUCH AS A RESTAURANT, BUSINESS CENTER GIFT SHOP, ET CETERA.

HOWEVER, THOSE, UM, ACCESSORY ITEMS ARE NOT REQUIRED.

UM, ANOTHER ITEM IS THAT NOT MORE THAN 30% OF THE ROOMS MAY BE SUITES AND A SUITE IS IT FOR GOES ON TO FURTHER DEFINE THAT.

SUITES, UM, INCLUDE ANY ROOM WITH A KITCHENETTE, UH, OR THOSE THAT MAY HAVE MULTIPLE ROOMS SUCH AS A PARLOR AND A SLEEPING AREA, UM, THAT ARE FULLY SEPARATED BY A, A PERMANENT WALL.

SO, UM, THE REQUEST, I, THERE'S A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT THE REQUEST THIS EVENING DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THIS DEFINITION.

UM, AND I'LL SHARE THOSE IN JUST A MOMENT.

SO, UH, THE, THIS IS THE PROPOSED EXTENDED STAY HOTEL DEFINITION THAT, UH, THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED.

UM, A COUPLE OF, UM, CHANGES THAT YOU MAY NOTICE FROM THE CURRENT DEFINITION IS THAT IT DOES NOT PROVIDE, UM, DAILY LINEN OR MAID SERVICES.

IT IDENTIFIES THAT HOUSEKEEPING SERVICES MAY BE OFFERED OR MUST BE OFFERED A MINIMUM OF ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK.

UM, IT ALSO STATES THAT, UM, IT DOES NOT IDENTIFY ANY KIND OF MAXIMUM NUMBER OF NIGHTS TO BE STAYED.

UH, IT SAYS THAT THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF NIGHTS MAY BE DEFINED BY THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY OR THE OWNER OF THE HOTEL OR BUSINESS, EXCUSE ME.

UM, IT ALSO IDENTIFIES THAT A FITNESS CENTER, KITCHEN AND OR, UM, RESTAURANT BUSINESS CENTER, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE NOT MENTIONED WITHIN THIS DEFINITION.

UM, IT DOES REQUIRE A LOBBY GUEST LAUNDRY SERVICES, WHICH ARE COMMON LAUNDRY SERVICES, NOT NECESSARILY IN ROOM A VENDING SPACE.

AND THEN IT SAYS THAT THEY MAY ALSO, UH, BUT NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A FITNESS CENTER.

IT ALSO IDENTIFIES THAT ALL GUEST ROOMS WILL OFFER A KITCHENETTE.

AND BASED ON THIS DEFINITION, THE KITCHENETTE INCLUDES A COOKTOP, A REFRIGERATOR, INCLUDING SEPARATE FREEZER AND REFRIGERATOR SPACE, AS WELL AS A SINK AND A MICROWAVE.

UH, SO THIS IS WHAT IS CURRENTLY PROPOSED TO BE ADDED TO THE, UM, PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

SO MOVING ON TO, UH, SOME ADDITIONAL SITE HISTORY IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT DEFINITION.

THE

[00:25:01]

AND IT INCLUDED THIS PROPERTY AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES, UM, ALL THE WAY FROM BELTLINE TO ARAPAHOS, APPROXIMATELY 12 ACRES.

AND, UM, THIS SITE HAS REMAINED VACANT.

IT HAS, UM, TO MY KNOWLEDGE NEVER BEEN DEVELOPED.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN UNDEVELOPED, UM, AND HAS REMAINED FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

IT'S RELATIVELY SMALL AT JUST OVER HALF AN ACRE.

UH, SO, UM, IT'S A BIT CHALLENGING ON WHAT YOU CAN DEVELOP THERE.

SO THIS PROPOSAL THIS EVENING, UM, PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW EXTENDED STAY HOTEL ON THE SITE.

FOR THE FLOOR PLAN, IT'S PROPOSED TO HAVE THREE STORIES.

THE FIRST FLOOR, UM, IS SERVICE PARKING AS WELL AS A LOBBY.

UM, THIS IS ALL TUCK UNDER SURFACE PARKING.

UM, THERE ARE ALSO TWO, UM, STAIRWELLS AT EITHER END OF THE HOTEL THAT OFFER PASSAGE ALL THE WAY, UM, UP TO THE THIRD FLOOR AND ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND FLOOR.

UM, ON THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS THERE ARE GUEST ROOMS PROVIDED THERE ARE 47 GUEST ROOMS. AND, UH, THERE'S ALSO A FITNESS CENTER IDENTIFIED AS WELL AS A KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM.

PROVIDED, UH, EACH GUEST ROOM, UM, AS THE DEFINITION PROPOSED, UH, WILL PROVIDE A KITCHENETTE INCLUDING THE COUNTERTOP, REFRIGERATOR, SINK, AND MICROWAVE FOR THE PARKING ON SITE.

UH, OUR STANDARD IS THAT ONE PARKING SPACE IS PROVIDED FOR EACH GUEST ROOM ON SITE.

SO SINCE THERE'S 47 GUEST ROOMS, THEY HAVE, UH, MET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT PROVIDING 47 ON SITE.

UM, AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, ALL OF THE PARKING IS TUCKED UNDER PARKING, UM, ON THE GROUND FLOOR FOR OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING ON THIS SITE.

UM, THE SITE DOES MEET THE MINIMUM, UM, LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS.

UH, IT'S A BIT UNIQUE.

WE DON'T OFTEN SEE SITES LIKE THIS 'CAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE FRONTAGE, YOU'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE A LANDSCAPE BUFFER THAT'S TYPICALLY 20 FEET AND INCLUDE SHRUBS AND TREES, UM, ET CETERA.

AND SO THAT SINCE THIS SITE DOES NOT HAVE ANY FRONTAGE, THERE'S NO LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIRED.

UM, HOWEVER, THIS SITE DOES STILL CONTINUE TO MEET THE 20% OPEN SPACE THROUGH, UM, TRUE OPEN SPACE AND PERMEABLE PAVING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE, UM, WITHIN THE FIRE LANE.

AND THEN, UM, ALSO PROVIDING SOME, UM, TREES WITHIN THOSE AREAS, THOSE GREEN SPACE AREAS AS WELL.

UH, WITH THIS REQUEST, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO REMOVE 11 CALIPER INCHES.

UM, ALL TREES WOULD, WILL BE MITIGATED ON SITE WITH NEW PLANTING.

UM, A VERY, A UNIQUE CONDITION, UH, FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS TO FULFILL THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

THERE'S 11 TREES THAT ARE OFFSITE THAT WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED ON THE ADJACENT SITE.

UM, AND THAT INCLUDES 74 CALIPER INCHES.

SO IF YOU SEE THE, UM, PRO SUBJECT PROPERTY IS GENERALLY OUTLINED IN RED AND HOW IT IS DESIGNED, UM, THAT LINE OF TREES THAT GENERALLY, UM, LINES THE SH COMMON BOUNDARY, UM, WOULD PREVENT ACCESS INTO THE PARKING STALLS.

SO ALL OF THOSE WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED.

HOWEVER, YOU'LL SEE A, A CONDITION LATER IN THE PRESENTATION OR INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT, UM, THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE APPLICANT PURSUE A PLAN DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO IDENTIFY HOW THOSE TREES ARE GOING TO BE MITIGATED, WHETHER IT'S ONSITE OR IN FEE.

IN LIEU OF, UM, I'LL ALSO ADD , IT'S PROBABLY IMPORTANT, UH, COMPONENT THAT THE PER, UM, PROPOSED OWNER AND OPERATOR OF SUBURBAN STUDIOS IS THE SAME OWNER AND OPERATOR OF QUALITY SUITES TO THE NORTH.

FOR THE EXTERIOR APPEARANCE OF THE NEW, UM, HOTEL, THERE IS THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR ON THE NORTH FACADE.

UM, THE BUILDING MATERIALS, UH, PRIMARILY INCLUDE, UH, UH, FIBER CEMENT, CEMENT, SIDING, AND EVIS.

THERE ARE STONE VENEER ACCENTS, UH, AT THE BUILDING ENTRANCE ON THE NORTH FACADE AS WELL.

UH, THE, UM, MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING IS 45 FEET, WHICH IS OUTLINED WITHIN THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT, AS WELL AS THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT WITHIN THAT, UM, ZONING DISTRICT.

AND, UH, JUST TWO ADDITIONAL NOTES IS THAT MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT IS PROPOSED TO BE ROOF MOUNTED AND SCREENED, AND THE SOLID WASTE ENCLOSURE, WHICH IS PROPOSED TO BE LOCATED TO THE EAST OF THE HOTEL, WILL MATCH THE BUILDING FACADE.

UM, STAFF DID PROVIDE PUBLIC NOTICE TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE SITE, AND THAT INCLUDED SEVEN RECIPIENTS.

AND, UM, AT THE TIME OF, WELL, RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FORMAL RESPONSES, UH, TO THAT, UM, NOTICE.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE REQUEST, UH, DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH OUR DEFINITION.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, THAT

[00:30:01]

UM, HOWEVER, THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST DOES NOT MEET THOSE DEF THAT DEFINITION AND DOES NOT PROVIDE, UH, THOSE VARIOUS AMENITIES THAT THE TOWN EXPECTS.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, IF THE COMMISSION DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL, STAFF SUGGEST INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

AND THE FIRST IS THAT, UM, A PD AMENDMENT TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO ANY TREE REMOVAL TO ADDRESS THE MITIGATION OF THOSE TREES.

AND THEN, UM, THE EXTENDED STAY HOTEL DEFINITION BE SLIGHTLY MODIFIED TO INCLUDE, UM, THE UNDERLYING PORTION, WHICH REQUIRES A FULL COMMERCIAL KITCHEN AND FITNESS CENTER AS WELL.

I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR LESLIE? WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE, THANKS, LESLIE.

WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO SPEAK? PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

THANK YOU.

NO, GOOD AFTERNOON COMMITTEE.

I'M, UH, EXCUSE ME, I'M JAHID AND, UH, HE'S THE OWNER.

MR. SHAKI.

UM, I'M THE FULL NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

OH, SORRY.

I'M, IT'S OKAY.

I'M JAHI LA I'M THE DESIGNER FOR THIS PROJECT AND ADDRESS IS 3 2 0 4 ST.

PATRICIA DRIVE, PLANO, TEXAS.

AND, UH, MY NAME IS SHAKI HAK.

UH, I OWN THAT PROPERTY AND ALSO THERE'S TWO MORE PROPERTY IN THE, UH, IN ADDISON.

ONE IS MINISTER SUITE AND QUALITY IS BOTH.

I OWN BOTH PROPERTIES AND NEED AN ADDRESS WHERE YOU RESIDE, PLEASE.

THE ADDRESS IS, UH, FOUR FIVE, UH, FOUR FIVE WESTLAND ROAD, ADDISON, TEXAS.

THANK YOU.

GO AHEAD.

YEAH, AS WE HAVE SEEN, THIS SITE IS REALLY CHALLENGING.

IT'S SITTING THERE COLLECTING DUST, SORT OF, AND, UH, AND IT'S NOT, UH, GENERATING ANY REVENUES, UH, FOR THE CITY, FOR THE OWNER.

SO, UH, THE OWNER DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING AND SINCE HE IS IN THE HOTEL, HOTEL INDUSTRY, UM, FOR SOME TIME, AND HE OWNED THE ADJACENT PROPERTY AS WELL.

UH, SO WE DECIDED TO, UH, PROPOSE THIS, UM, UH, SUBURBAN, UM, STUDIO, UH, EXTENDED STAY IN THAT LOCATION.

AND GIVEN THE CONDITION OF THE SITE, UH, AND THE CHALLENGES, UM, WE PROVIDED THE BEST WE COULD WITH THE LANDSCAPE.

THAT WAS, UH, BEING A BIGGEST CHALLENGE.

UM, MAINTAINING THE, AND, UH, SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE LANDSCAPE WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE THAT WE HAD.

UM, SO I BELIEVE, UH, WE HAVE MET THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE CITY TO MAINTAIN 20% LANDSCAPE AREA.

AND, UM, REGARDING THE DEFINITION, UH, THERE IS, UH, FULL SIZED KITCHEN IN THE SECOND LEVEL.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE FLOOR PLAN, UH, WE HAVE DINING HALL AND THERE'S A FULL SIZED KITCHEN, COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, AND WE ALSO HAVE A FITNESS CENTER IN THE SECOND LEVEL AS FAR AS THE AMENITIES GOES.

UH, WE ALSO HAVE VENDING MACHINES NEAR THE ELEVATOR AREA.

AND WE ALSO, WE ALSO, UH, I, I, WE, WE'LL APPRECIATE IF YOU CONSIDER THE CHALLENGES THAT WE ARE FACING IN THIS SMALL PIECE OF LAND, UM, THAT'S REALLY HARD TO, UM, GENERATE ANY, ANY, ANY BUSINESS IN THERE.

UH, DO YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THE DEFINITION? NO, UH, ACTUALLY, UH, THE SAME THING, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, UH, THIS IS A VACANT LANE.

THERE'S NO, UH, REVENUE COMING FROM THE CITY FOR THE, FOR ANYONE.

WE'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT BRING MONEY FOR US, FOR THAT CITY, AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE A GREAT HOTEL, UH, THAT WILL, UH, YOU KNOW, INCREASE THE TAXES, ALSO CREATE THE JOBS IN THE CITY.

SO PLEASE, UH, PLEASE, UH, CONSIDER IT.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.

ANY QUESTIONS? UM, I HAVE ONE QUICK ONE.

WHY NOT JUST FOLLOW THE, THE GUIDELINES.

I MEAN, LIKE, WHAT'S SO DIFFICULT ABOUT THE SITE? IT, IT'S A SIMPLE THING OF EITHER CHANGING YOUR NUMBER OF UNITS OR YOUR FULLER PLAN.

SO SOME CONTEXT AS TO WHY YOU CAN'T FOLLOW ALL THE RULES OF THE CURRENT.

SO THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FROM THE FRANCHISE AND ALSO A RETURN ON INVESTMENT THAT IS IF WE GO BELOW 50 UNITS, 50 KEYS FOR THIS, IT'LL NOT BE REALLY PROFITABLE EVEN THOUGH, UH, CONSIDERING THAT WE CAME DOWN TO 47, UH, ROOMS IN THERE AND ADDED A FULL SIZE FITNESS SPACE AND A FITNESS ROOM AND

[00:35:01]

SO, UH, AND ALL OF THE ROOMS THEY HAVE, UM, KITCHENETTES INCLUDING FREEZERS, UH, OVENS AND EVERY REQUIRED ITEM.

UM, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WE NEED TO ADD IN THERE.

SO THESE ARE, UH, BY THE DEFINITION OF THAT PARTICULAR BRAND'S, UH, REQUIREMENTS, WE FOLLOWED EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEEDED.

THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU UHHUH.

I WILL NOW OPEN UP, UH, TO THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THIS HEARING.

I HAVE A APPEARANCE CARD FROM A MIKE LANE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ADDITIONAL.

THANKS.

MR. BARNETT IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY TO GO FIRST.

I'M GONNA GO FIRST IF YOU DON'T MIND.

OKAY.

SO I'LL SWITCH.

I JUST GOT THAT ONE.

TO ELLIOT BARNETT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

UM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR RECORD, PLEASE.

UH, MY NAME IS ELLIOT BARNETT.

I LIVE AT SEVEN RU LOCK IN DALLAS, TEXAS.

OUR FAMILY HAS OWNED THIS PROPERTY, UH, ADJACENT TO THE POST DEVELOPMENT TRACK TO THE SOUTH FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS.

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE IN OUR TENANT OAK BARBECUE.

MY LANE IS THE, UH, RESTAURATEUR HAS SPENT OVER TWO AND A HALF MILLION ON RENOVATING THIS BUILDING, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED IN 1978 AND HAD NO BASIC IMPROVEMENTS DONE.

UH, DURING THAT ENTIRE SPAN OF TIME, I SPENT MY CAREER AS A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER.

SO I'M QUITE AWARE OF THE PROCESS NEEDED TO DEVELOP A NEW PROJECT.

THIS PROPOSAL MIGHT APPEAR TO BE REASONABLE REQUEST TO ADD ADDITIONAL LODGING SPACE IN THE CITY AND INCREASE THE TAXPAYER'S ROLE.

HOWEVER, I HAVE A DIFFERENT STORY TO TELL YOU BEFORE THE RENOVATION.

THIS BUILDING WAS UNOCCUPIED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS.

DESPITE CAMERA MONITORING ADDED POLICE PRESENCE AND FENCING, WE HAD MULTIPLE VANDALISM ATTACKS CAUSING INSURANCE CLAIMS OF OVER $550,000.

WE KNOW THAT ANYONE COULD HAVE ORGANIZED THESE THEFTS AND DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING AS THE CULPRITS FOR THESE THEFTS WERE NEVER CAUGHT.

HOWEVER, THE CLIENTELE AT THE EXISTING HOTEL HAS CAUSED MANY PROBLEMS FOR US IN THE PAST WITH VAGRANCY BEGGING IN OUR PARKING LOTS, DISCARDED DRUG PARAPHERNALIA, NEEDLES AND PHYSICAL ATTACKS, THE MOST RECENT, UH, TWO DAYS AGO WHEN, UM, A GENTLEMAN WAS, UH, MUGGED.

IT'S NOT MUCH OF A STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION THAT THE IDEAS BEHIND THESE THEFTS CAME FROM OUR NEIGHBOR'S PROXIMITY.

YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUES AS WE MUST CONTACT THEM.

OFTEN, UNFORTUNATELY, AND WITH NO, NO FAULT OF YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY'RE OFTEN UNABLE TO HELP US.

CURRENTLY, THERE'S LITTLE OVERSIGHT OR QUALITY MANAGEMENT TO THE, TO DERAIL THE DAILY ILLEGAL ACTIVITY AT THE EXISTING HOTEL.

SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME WHAT THE RESULTS OF AN ADDITIONAL EXTENDED STAY HOTEL BY THE SAME OWNERSHIP MIGHT BE THE SAME.

MY FEAR IS THAT A NEW HOTEL WOULD ADD TO THE EXISTING PROBLEM WE FACED ON A DAILY BASIS.

UM, I STRENUOUSLY OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS AN ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER, SO I'M GLAD TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT Y'ALL HAD.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

OKAY.

UM, MIKE LANE, YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD IN THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.

UH, MIKE LANE AND I OCCUPY AND, AND OWN OAK BARBECUE 45 25 BELTLINE ROAD.

SO, UM, I'M OPPOSED TO THIS PROJECT.

I THINK IT'S GONNA ADD SOME MORE ISSUES TO, UM, NOT ONLY TO THE CITY, BUT ALSO TO OUR PROPERTY.

AND I'LL GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES IN JUST A SECOND OF SOME ISSUES WE'VE HAD JUST IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS, UH, WITH THE PROJECT OR WITH THE PROPERTY BEHIND US.

UM, SO IT, WE'D FEEL THAT, UM, IT'S A BAD, UM, IMPRESSION FOR THE CITY BECAUSE OF THE CLIENT BASE THAT'S AT THAT HOTEL.

UM, THERE'S, AND I'LL GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF THAT.

UM, JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, THERE WAS A WOMAN OUTSIDE LAYING TOPLESS SUNBATHING THAT WAS AN ISSUE.

UM, LIKE MR. BARNETT SAID, THERE WAS A, A GENTLEMAN LAST WEDNESDAY, UH, AN ASIAN GENTLEMAN WHO WAS A, A VISITOR TO OUR CITY FROM JAPAN.

AND, UH, HE WAS, UH, ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED OFF FROM HIS UBER, UH, AT THE, THIS PROPERTY BEHIND US.

AND HE WAS MEANT TO BE PUT AT THE HOMEWOOD SUITES, BUT THE UBER DRIVER PROCEEDED TO DROP HIM OFF AT THE WRONG LOCATION.

WELL, AS SOON AS HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR, WITHIN A FEW MINUTES HE WAS MUGGED.

UM, SO HE HAD ALL HIS CREDIT CARDS, ALL HIS MONEY TAKEN FROM HIM.

UM, THE HOMEWOOD SUITES HOTEL OPERATOR CALLED ME UP AND SAID, CAN YOU FEED THIS FAMILY? UH, THEY HAVE NOTHING TO EAT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

SO I PROCEEDED TO MEET WITH THEM.

I OFFERED THEM FOOD FOR A COUPLE DAYS.

I GAVE 'EM A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN CASH SO THEY HAD MONEY.

UM, AND I'M

[00:40:01]

BUT THE CRIME HAPPENED ON THE PROPERTY BEHIND US.

UM, SO, UM, THERE'S A CONTINUOUS HOMELESS PROBLEM BACK THERE.

UH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE ON OUR PROPERTY TOO.

I RUN 'EM OFF OUR PROPERTY.

UM, THEY'RE SLEEPING BACK IN THE THE BRUSH AREA.

UM, THEY SLEEP ON OUR PATIOS.

UM, AND THE, THE TENANTS OF THAT HOTEL SEEM TO THINK THAT MY PROPERTY THAT I'M LEASING FROM MR. BARNETT IS AN AUTO REPAIR PLACE.

AND SO WHAT THEY DO IS THEY COME ONTO MY PROPERTY AND FIX THEIR CARS, CHANGE THEIR OILS, UM, AND I JUST THINK IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT TYPICAL.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO THERE.

I'M TRYING TO CREATE MONEY AND, AND A BUSINESS.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I JUST THINK IT'S A BAD IMPRESSION.

I DON'T, I DON'T AGREE THAT IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

UH, WE'RE TRYING TO, I'M, I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS PROJECT AT OAK BARBECUE.

UH, I WANNA BE PART OF ADDISON.

I WANNA BUILD MORE RESTAURANTS AND MORE BUSINESSES WITH YOU GUYS.

UM, AND I JUST THINK THAT, UH, ADDING MORE HOTELS, WE GOT PLENTY OF HOTELS IN THE CITY AND WE DEFINITELY DON'T NEED TO EXTENDED STAYS.

SO THAT'S MY OPINION.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY, WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE THE OPEN PORTION, EXCUSE ME, THE PUBLIC PORTION OF OUR MEETING.

UM, FOLLOW UP COMMISSIONERS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR LESLIE OR ANYTHING? ALL GOOD? OKAY.

UH, EXCUSE ME.
