WELL, THE CITY SECRETARY, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL MITCHELL HERE, COACH HERE, ELLISON HERE, BRADSHAW HERE.
WE HAVE A QUORUM NEXT STEP APPROVAL
[II. Approval of Minutes]
OF THE MINUTES I HAVE, UM, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR, UM, APPROVAL OF MINUTES.NUMBER THREE, COUNCIL, SPECIAL MEETING JULY 27TH.
UM, NOT EVERYBODY WAS IN, IT WAS ON THE DAYAS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE, UM, VIRTUAL.
AND SO, UM, WHEN IT WAS SECONDED, IT WAS TECHNICALLY SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER ELLISON.
AND I WASN'T SURE IF ANYBODY HAD HEARD THAT BESIDES ME.
SO I DID TALK TO THE SECRETARY AND THE CITY MANAGER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE ELLISON SECOND THAT MOTION, BUT IT COULD ONLY BE CHANGED BY THIS WAS THE ITEM THAT WE VOTED ON.
UM, IT WAS A THREE 80 AGREEMENT WITH COSTCO VERBALLY SECOND.
CORRECT? YOU DIDN'T I'LL LISTEN TO IT PRIOR TO IT.
I'M JUST GONNA, I TALKED TO JENNIFER AND SHE SAID THAT YOU HAD TO APPROVE IT.
SO I THOUGHT I WOULD AT LEAST BRING IT UP.
THAT WAS MY ONLY QUIBBLE WITH IT.
OTHER THAN THAT, THE MINUTES SEEMED ACCURATE.
I HAVEN'T GONE BACK AND REVIEWED THE TAPE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO I'M NOT SAYING I GET IT RIGHT EVERY TIME I HEAR IT, BUT I JUST DIDN'T.
I DON'T THINK IT WAS ANYTHING ON PURPOSE.
I THINK IT WAS PEOPLE WERE VIRTUAL AND SO THEY DIDN'T HEAR THE ACTUAL SECOND THAT CAME FIRST.
AND SO THAT'S WHY I WAS JUST BRINGING IT UP TO YOUR ATTENTION.
WELL, WE CAN GO BACK AND REVIEW.
WE CAN KEEP THESE OFF AND HAVE A, WE CAN GO BACK AND, AND CHECK.
YOU KNOW, IF WE WANT, I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVEN'T CHECKED HER OR ANYTHING IN THAT CASE, I WOULD LIKE TO APPROVE THE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FOR JULY 20TH IN JULY.
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A SPECIAL MEETING AND THEN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, NUMBER ONE AND TWO SECOND MOVED BY CUSTOMER NUMBER FOUR, SCALE SECOND BY CUSTOMER RIZZO THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR DRY 20TH, SPECIAL AND REGULAR.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

FOR THE RAILROAD SIDING ON LOOSEN STREET.THE CITY OF KYLE IS FORESEEN TO DO IN 2023.
SEVERAL PETITIONS HAVE BEEN COLLECTED AND MORE TO BE COLLECTED EVERY DAY.
OUR CONCERNS, I WILL MENTION THE CONCERN STATED ON THE PETITIONS AND CONCERNS OF THOSE HOMEOWNERS I SPOKE TO.
WHEN I PICKED UP THE PETITIONS SAFETY, THE TRACKS WILL BE CLOSER TO OUR HOMES, CHILDREN AND PETS, TREES, ENVIRONMENTAL AND BEAUTIFUL BIRDS WE HAVE AROUND THEIR PRIVACY TREES ARE THE ONLY THING THAT COVERS THE TRAIN WHEN THE LEAVES AND ARE THERE.
NUMBER FIVE, WE ALREADY NEED A SOUND BARRIER.
NUMBER SIX PROPOSAL WAS DONE BEFORE BUILDING THESE DR.
AND WE WERE NOT FOR WARNED BEFORE BUYING SEVEN.
THE TRAIN IS ALREADY LOUD ENOUGH AND WE LIKED THE WAY OUR BACKYARD IS NUMBER EIGHT.
THE PROJECT IS GOING TO FLOOD OUR HOMES BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY THEY'RE TAKING THE DRAINAGE OUT AND ALL OF OUR BACKYARDS GO BACK.
THEY STEEP DOWN LIKE THIS SAFETY ISSUES, FLOODING ISSUES, NOISE, AND THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE HOMES ALONG THE RAILS.
THE PEOPLE A BLOCK TO TWO BLOCKS AWAKE CAN FEEL THE RAILS.
I HAVE A HOMEOWNER, THE LAX SONS, THEY LIVE A BLOCK AWAY AND THEY FEEL THE TRAIN PASSING BY AND THEIR HOUSE SHAKES.
DON'T MOVE OUR FENCES, PLEASE, TOO CLOSE TO OUR HOMES.
MORE TRAFFIC ON OUR SIDE, THE SCENERY OF THE TREES.
THE TRAIN ALREADY SHAKES OUR HOMES AND DROPS OUR DECOR.
IF YOU CUT DOWN THE TREES AND PUT THE SIDING, SOME WILL BE THREE 13 FEET AWAY, TOO CLOSE TO OUR HOMES.
THE HOME ON MARJIM ATKINS WILL BE FIVE FEET FROM THE RAIL SIDING MISCELLANEOUS.
YOUR, YOUR THREE MINUTES IS UP.
IF YOU WANT TO SUBMIT THAT TO US, WE CAN TAKE IT.
YOU WANT TO GIVE ME A MINUTE SO I CAN ASK YOU ONE THING, PLEASE.
AS A COMMUNITY OF CREEKSIDE VILLAGE, WE PLEA WITH THE CITY OF KYLE TO RECONSIDER MOVING OR STOPPING THE PROJECT AS HOMEOWNERS AND TAXPAYERS OF KYLE OF CREEKSIDE VILLAGE.

SO I'M EXTREMELY EXCITED TO DO THIS, UM, TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR CITY, TO HELP WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.
UM, IF YOU'LL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THANK YOU, GENEVA.
UH, ANY, UH, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I HAVE A COMMENT.
UH, I I'VE KNOWN GENEVA FOR A FEW YEARS NOW.
UM, SHE'S DONE A GREAT VOLUNTEER WORK, UH, WITH, UM, HAYES, CISD.

AND SHE BROUGHT THIS TO MY ATTENTION AND I WAS LIKE, THIS IS PERFECT.
I HAD SPECIFICALLY TAKEN OFF A FEW OF MY POSITIONS FROM PTA BECAUSE I WANTED TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M A WELL-ROUNDED CITIZEN, THAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND I'M NOT JUST SO ONE-SIDED ON OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS BECAUSE I KNOW OUR CITY AND OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE SUCH A HUGE PART.
SO I RESEARCHED IT A LITTLE BIT.
I REACHED OUT TO SOME FRIENDS AND I WAS LIKE, THIS SOUNDS AMAZING.

AND THIS WAS JUST A GREAT WAY FOR ME TO KIND OF GET INVOLVED AS WELL AS FEEL LIKE I'M DOING SOMETHING WORTHWHILE THAT MY HEART IS TRULY INVESTED IN.
WELL, UM, JUST SO YOU KNOW, CHIEF BARNETT AND CHRIS SAYS THAT HER NAMES, THEY BOTH HAD NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU.
SO, YOU KNOW, I HAD TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND FOLLOW UP.
AND SO, UM, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR VOLUNTEERING AND, UM, THANK YOU FOR GIVING UP YOUR TIME.
THAT'S SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO SEE EVERYBODY DO EVERY NOW AND THEN, BUT, UM, YEAH, I THINK, UM, THE THINGS THAT I WERE TOLD I WAS, AND I WISH I WOULD HAVE CALLED YOU CAUSE USUALLY THAT'S WHAT I DO I CALL, BUT IT WAS VERY LAST MINUTE.
AND SO HOPEFULLY SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD THAT WE CAN MAYBE JUST GET TOGETHER AND HAVE SOME COFFEE OR FOOD OR WHATEVER.
UM, BUT THANK YOU FOR APPLYING.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE GENEVA GARZA FOR, UH, OKAY, GREAT.
IT'S BEEN, UH, IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN MOTIONED BY CUSTOMER FLOORS, KALE SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW, UH, THAT WE PROVE GENEVA GARCIA TO, UH, CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.

NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE,
[5. CIP/Road Projects and Consent Agenda Presentation. ~ Travis Mitchell, Mayor]
CIP ROAD PROJECTS AND CONSENT AGENDA PRESENTATION, CANADIAN MARION COUNCIL, LEON BARBARA CITY ENGINEER, BRO, STRAIGHT STILL WHERE IT IS, WHERE IT WAS LAST MEETING WE HAD, WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH A CONTRACTOR TRYING TO GET HIS ATTENTION ON THAT ONE, TRYING TO GET IT CLOSED DOWN.[00:15:01]
UH, HERO'S MEMORIAL PARK.WE DO HAVE A CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN.
THAT IS FOR THE AUTHORIZES PEC TO PUT, UH, THEIR, UH, ELECTRICAL CONDUITS UNDERGROUND.
AND, UH, THIS IS, UH, AUTHORIZES HIM TO PUT THAT IN AN EASEMENT THROUGH THE PARK, UH, BASED ON THE CURRENT ESTIMATES, WE'RE ABOUT 2% COMPLETE.
AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE INSTALLING FOOTINGS FOR THE BRIDGE BEERS.
ANY UPDATE ON THAT SPRING? NO, SIR.
I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING ON THAT AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S STILL THERE AND THAT PICTURE I'LL, I'LL FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT, SEE WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE.
I'LL BE OUT OF THE PARK, UH, THIS MORNING.
THIS IS WHAT I HAD ON MY PRESENTATION.
THE NOTICE TO PROCEED TO BE ISSUED AND IT WASN'T GOING TO BE ISSUED UNTIL, UH, THE TEMPORARY ACCESS IS ESTABLISHED.
WE JUST GOT THE PAPERWORK THIS MORNING.
SO WE'RE GETTING READY TO ISSUE THE NOTICE PROCEEDED HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK IT WILL BE ISSUED.
SO THEY SHOULD GET STARTED PRETTY QUICKLY.
UH, YOU CAN TELL THIS ROAD HAS JUST BEEN PAVED AND CONSTRUCTED, SO, UH, IT SHOULD BE READY TO GO.
I DON'T THINK IT'S BEEN ACCEPTED YET.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS IT WAS KIND OF DELAYED FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, UH, CALL HARTSON PARK, PROJECT CONSENTED, AGENDA AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 14, THAT'S FOR SOME SURVEYING AND SOME TOPA WORK THAT WE MAY NEED FROM, UH, THE SURVEYING, UH, UH, CONTRACTOR THAT WE'VE GOT IN CASE WE NEED SOME EASEMENTS FOR THAT PROJECT TO MOVE THOSE UP LINES UNDERGROUND.
UH, THE WORK'S ABOUT 15% COMPLETE MAJOR ACTIVITIES, UH, INCLUDE THERE'S DRILLING PAYERS AND A STILL AND START TO EXCAVATE FOR UTILITIES, NEIL STREET DRAINAGE PROJECT.
WE'RE ABOUT 71% COMPLETE, AND WE'RE STILL DRIVING ON THE NORTH HALF OF A WINDY HILL THAT THEY'RE JUST ABOUT READY TO GET CHANGE ORDER NUMBER FOUR, RAMPED UP, UH, THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THE DITCH AND THE PERMANENT EROSION CONTROLS ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
AND WE'RE STILL PLANNING OPA THIS OPENING THIS ROAD ON OCTOBER OF 2021 SOUTH SIDE WASTEWATER.
WE'RE ABOUT 87% COMPLETE, UH, THEY'RE WORKING CONTINUE TO WORK IN FRONT OF ALEXANDER TRACKS AND THEY'RE MOVING SOUTH TOWARDS COUNTY ROAD 1 58 IN TALKING TO THE CONTRACTOR.
HE'S HOPING TO HAVE THAT WRAPPED UP SOMETIME, AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER WITH THE REST OF THE PROJECT.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO HELP PUSH IT ALONG AND GET THAT DONE.
GET IT COMPLETED WATER TREATMENT, PLANT EXPANSION PROJECT.
WE'RE ABOUT 67% COMPLETE TWO THIRDS OF THE WAY.
UH, THE RAIN HASN'T HELPED A LOT AS YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN IN A VERY UNUSUAL WEATHER THIS TIME OF YEAR.
UH, SO THEY'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON SATURDAYS AND THEY'RE EVEN THINKING ABOUT POSSIBLY WORKING ON SUNDAYS.
UH, THEY CONTINUE TO WORK ON THEIR TYPICAL ITEMS, UH, TREATMENT PIPE AND FORM WORK AND REBAR.
THEY SHOULD WRAP UP THE REBAR PART HOPEFULLY LATER THIS MONTH.
UH, WE'RE STILL WRAPPING UP THE ESTIMATE FOR THAT.
DE-WATERING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT REAL PRIMARY, BRINGING THAT BACK TO COUNCIL FAIRLY QUICK.
UH, WE'RE STILL WILLING TO SCHEDULE WITH THIS PROJECT AND WE EXPECT TO HAVE THIS PLANT OPENING AND FUNCTIONING MARCH OF 2022.
IF YOU CAN TELL THE PICTURES WE HAVE ROOFS ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.
NOW YOU CAN RECEPTOR, UH, WE'RE ABOUT 55% COMPLETE CONTRACTORS, UH, WORKING ON THE BORING THERE AT THE CREEK.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO RAMP THAT UP.
WELL SITE NUMBER FOUR PROJECT.
UH, WE DID TALK TO THE CONTRACTOR AGAIN.
HE SHORT, HE WAS JUST GOING TO BE HERE LAST WEEK, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN OBVIOUSLY.
SO HE DID INDICATE HE'S FINE TO BE HERE THURSDAY.
SO WE'LL BE LOOKING FOR HIM STARTING ON THE DOWNTOWN.
IT SAYS RIGHT AWAY RECORD LINE ISSUE.
I JUST LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE.
UM, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAD SOME SURVEYS DONE IN THIS PROPERTY.
WE, UH, UH, OUR SURVEYOR DID THE SURVEYS BASED ON THE BEST INFORMATION HE HAD.
WHEN WE CLEARED OUT THE AREA, WE WERE ABLE TO, TO LOOK AT THE, WE ASKED HIM TO RESET THOSE PINS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE PROPERLY LOCATED IN, AS WE WENT OUT THERE AND LOOKED AT THIS, WE REALIZED THAT, WAIT A MINUTE, THIS ROAD IS NOT LINED UP WITH THE ROAD ON THE OTHER END.
SO WHEN WE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE DID NOT HONOR THE FENCE LINE EXISTING FENCE LINE, WHICH, UH, WAS, WAS NOT DONE.
AND HE JUST WENT AHEAD WITH THE RECORD DRAWINGS THAT WERE THERE.
SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO HIM, ASK HIM TO REDO THOSE SURVEYS.
IN THE MEANTIME, I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO THE ALEXANDERS AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION.
THEY'RE AGREEING TO GIVE US AN ADDITIONAL SEVEN TO EIGHT FEET ON THE WEST SIDE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THIS ROAD CONNECTS.
SO THAT IS GOING TO SLOW US DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT, UH, WE ARE WORKING ON IT TRYING TO RESOLVE THAT ISSUE RIGHT NOW.
CAN I MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THOSE SURVEYS? WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO, WELL, I'LL WORK ON THAT.
ON THE ELLIE BRANCH INTERCEPTOR, UH, WE'RE ABOUT 26% COMPLETE, UH, WE'RE WORKING
[00:20:01]
STILL WORKING FROM THE RUBBER TRACKS HEADING TOWARDS SLEDGE.THE MICROSURFACING PROJECT IS COMPLETE.
THEY HAVE GONE BACK AND DONE PATCHING AND CLEANING UP AND WE'RE EXPECTING THE PAYMENT MARKETS TO GO DOWN THIS WEEK.
ON ONE OF THE CONSIDERED CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS, NUMBER SIX, THIS IS AN EASEMENT THAT WE ACQUIRED.
THIS WAS THE SECOND OF TWO YEARS.
WE SAID WE NEEDED TO START THIS PROJECT AT SLIMMER AND PORTER JUST TO LET COUNCIL KNOW THAT, UH, WE'RE BUDGETED EVERY YEAR FOR ABOUT $500,000 TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
WE DO HAVE A LOT OF INI AND FLOW INFLOW AND INFILTRATION IN OUR SEWER LINES.
WE HAVE A LOT OF OLD LINES, SIX INCH LINES, CLAY LINES THERE THEY'RE LEAKING.
AND ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GET RAINFALL, IT JUST REALLY BECOMES A PROBLEM US AT OUR PLANT.
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST OF FIVE PHASES ON SLIMMER.
WE'RE GOING TO START AT, UH, UH, RIGHT HERE ON FRONT STREET WITH THE FIRST SECTION AND WE'LL WORK OUR WAY BACK WEST ALL THE WAY UP TO PORTER ON THIS PROJECT.
SO THE MINUTE, AND BY THE WAY, THIS PROJECT IS OUT FOR ADVERTISEMENT AND AS BEING BID RIGHT NOW.
SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL BRING YOU A GOOD CONTRACT ON THIS ONE.
ESTIMATED COST IS AROUND $500,000 FOR THIS FIRST PHASE.
AND THAT'S THE REASON WE BROKE IT UP BECAUSE WE DO HAVE $500,000 EVERY YEAR TO A GENERAL FUND TO PAY FOR THESE PROJECTS TO IMPROVE OUR SYSTEM.
AND, UH, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AND SEE ABOUT ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
MAYOR COUNCILOR, RIZZO, UH, LEON GOING BACK TO THE MICRO SURFACING, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A MEETING.
I THINK CUSTOMER INTRAVENOUS IS INTERESTED AS WELL ON, UH, SOLUTIONS FOR FINISHING THE MICROSURFACING ON THE, UH, SOUTH SIDE OF, UH, THE AREA THAT WAS MICROSOFT NEAR DOWNTOWN KYLE.
UH, I CAN'T THINK OF THE STREET NAMES RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK YOU'VE GOT AN IDEA OF WHERE I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS COUNCIL MEMBER, I BELIEVE IS A SECOND STREET AND A THIRD STREET.
ON SECOND AND, UH, FRUSTRATED AS WELL, THE BACK END OF THIRD NEGATIVES AROUND THE CURVE ON THAT END, BECAUSE THERE'S NEARLY A HUGE GAP ON THE CORNER THERE THAT HAS A LOT OF PUCK THAT'S FROM EROSION AND POTHOLES.
IF WE MOVE YOU ON MINE, GET WITH CATHERINE REASON.
I, IF YOU'D LIKE TO GIVE IT TO YOU ON THE SECOND PHASING ON WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS.
AND, AND I LIKE TO INCLUDE HARPER AS LONG AS WELL, COUNCIL MEMBERS, WHAT WE TYPICALLY DO IS WE'D LIKE TO GIVE THE LIST TO THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, AS SOON AS WE CAN ON THE STREETS THAT WE'RE GOING TO RESURFACE WITH THE MICRO.
AND THE REASON WE DO THAT IS BECAUSE THEY NEED TO DO SOME PREP WORK.
USUALLY EITHER PATCHING FAILED AREAS, CRACKS CEILING, OR PATCHING PUDDLES, WHATEVER.
SO WE'D LIKE TO GIVE THEM PLENTY OF TIME TO GET THAT DONE BEFORE WE GET HERE WITH A MICRO SO THAT OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE CONTRACTOR TO DO THAT.
SO WE CERTAINLY WANT TO GET WITH YOU AND GET THAT LIST READY TO GO.
AND WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THAT OTHER EQUIPMENT TO COME IN TO WHERE WE CAN, UH, WORK ON MARTINEZ LOOP IN THOSE AREAS BACK THERE.
THAT WAS THE PLAN FOR A CHIP SEAL.
BUT, UH, BEING THE ENGINEER, I HAVE A DIFFERENT IDEA FOR THAT.
SO I'LL, I'LL BE VISITING WITH YOU AND MR. SELLERS ON MY RECOMMENDATION TOO.
I'D LIKE TO BE INCLUDED ON THAT AS WELL.
UH, THEN GOING BACK TO THE DOWNTOWN PARK, UH, HISTORIC CITY PARK, I WANTED TO, UH, JUST A QUICK UPDATE.
I KNOW THEY STARTED DOING THE PIERS THIS WEEK.
I KNOW WE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH PC, BUT I KNOW WE'VE GOT A BACKUP PLAN IN CASE PC IS NOT, UH, COMPLETELY FINISHED.
SO LIKE, I, I JUST WANTED TO, UH, FOR YOU TO SHARE WITH THE COUNCIL, WHAT THEIR BACKUP PLAN IS ON, ON TEMPORARY POWER, IF NEEDED COUNCIL MEMBER, OUR PROJECT MANAGER IS MORE UP TO SPEED ON THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT.
UH, BUT I'D HAVE TO GET WITH HER AND GET YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT.
UNLESS THE MANAGER HAS UPDATE ON IT ON THE CITY PARK, THE POWER BACKUP PLAN FOR POWER.
IF THE PC UTILITIES AREN'T UNDERGROUNDED AND TOM HAVE POTATO.
SO THE PLAN IN CASE THE POWER IS NOT UNDERGROUND AND TIME IS IF YOU CAN VISUALLY IMAGINE THE PARK, THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PARK IS MILLER STREET.
THERE IS CURRENTLY TWO POLLS THAT PEC HAS UP ON MILLER STREET AND THAT LOCATION ONE IS IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, IN THE PARKING LOT.
AND THE OTHER ONE IS ALMOST IN THE CENTER OF THE, OF THE, OF THE PIECE OF PROPERTY, KIND OF NEAR WHERE THE GAZEBO IS, WHAT THE PLAN IS, IS PEC DESIGNED ALL OF THE UNDERGROUNDING, UH, PEDESTAL METERS AND SERVICE TO BE IN THE BOTTOM SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MILLER STREET AND BURLESON THAT'S EFFECTIVELY WHERE IT WILL BE.
SO THE PARK HAS PLANNED OR TF HARPER AND THEIR ENGINEERS HAVE PLANNED TO REROUTE THE POWER PLAN THAT THEY HAD ORIGINALLY DONE AND HAVE EVERYTHING KIND OF RUN
[00:25:01]
UNDERNEATH THE MAIN PROMINENT THAT GOES NORTH AND SOUTH, LIKE AN ELECTRICAL HIGHWAY AND DOWN AND OVER TO THAT PEDESTAL.AND THEN THE TEMPORARY PLAN IN CASE PEC DOESN'T GET POWER TO THAT.
PEDESTAL IS THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE THE ONE POLE THAT'S NEAREST THE GAZEBO LIVE, AND THEY ARE PUTTING IN A TRENCH FROM THAT POLE BACK TO THE PEDESTAL.
SO THEY CAN FEED POWER INTO THE PEDESTAL IN THE EVENT THAT PEC ISN'T DONE.
SO WE WILL HAVE POWER IN THE PARK, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PEC IS ABLE TO HAVE THE UNDERGROUNDING AND THE UTILITIES MOVED YET OR NOT.
THEN WHENEVER IT DOES MOVE, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF BREAKING, BREAKING THE CIRCUIT, BREAKING THE SWITCH, AND THEN TAKING THE PULL DOWN.
AND THE REASON I'M BRINGING THAT UP IS THAT I'M CONFIDENT THAT PC IS GOING TO HAVE THEIR PORTION DONE, BUT I WAS LIKE HAVING A BACKUP PLAN.
I THINK THAT'S JUST A SMART PLANNING TO ALWAYS PLAN FOR EXPECT THE BEST OF PLAN FOR THE WORST.
I'M, I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT THAT THERE'S A PLAN IN PLACE.
UH, BUT I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO UTILIZE IT, BUT IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE SCOTT.
I JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE.
UH, AND I'M GOING TO BE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THIS PROJECT AND STILL I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT IT.
AND, UH, UH, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE COUNCIL A LITTLE UPDATE, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.
UH, BEFORE WE GO TO A CONSENT AGENDA, IT'S BEEN REQUESTED TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE UP THE CITY MANAGER'S
[VIII. City Manager's Report]
REPORT.IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO THAT? ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD, SCOTT.
MAYOR COUNCIL SCOTT SELLERS FOR THE RECORD.
I JUST DO ITEMS TONIGHT TO DISCUSS FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.
OUR ACTIVITIES ARE, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY HAVE RESUMED.
OUR NEXT ONE IS AUGUST 14TH, UH, FROM NINE TIL 12 DOWNTOWN.
SO PLEASE I SAY THAT DOWNTOWN HIGHLIGHT GREG CLARK PARK.
UH, NEXT MARKET DAYS, BUDGET CALENDAR.
UH, WE HAD A GREAT, UH, BUDGET WORKSHOP WORK SESSION, NUMBER THREE, THIS LAST SATURDAY.
SO THANK YOU, COUNCIL AND STAFF AND THE PUBLIC FOR, FOR ATTENDING THAT OUR NEXT BUDGET WORK SESSION IS SCHEDULED DURING OUR NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON AUGUST 17TH.
UH, HOWEVER, THE FOLLOWING WORK SESSION NUMBER FIVE IS A SPECIAL MEETING THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25TH.
SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT ON YOUR CALENDARS.
THAT IS AT 7:00 PM HERE IN THIS ROOM.
UM, ACTUALLY IT'S NOTICED FOR THE FALCON ROOM, SO THERE MAY BE ANOTHER MEETING IN HERE, BUT IT'S IN THIS BUILDING.
FIRST FLOOR, CITY HALL, UH, QUICK RECAP ON THE STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS, OUR, OUR MAYOR, UH, DID A GREAT JOB.
MAYOR PRO TEM GAVE HIM A GREAT INTRODUCTION AT THE STATE OF THE CITY.
UH, WE'VE HEARD NOTHING BUT POSITIVE THINGS.
I THINK THAT THE BIG THING TO SHARE TONIGHT IS THAT WAS THE REALLY THE BIG PUBLIC MOMENT OF THE, THE COSTCO REVEAL.
AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS, WAS DONE VERY WELL, BUT THERE WAS A, THERE WAS SO MUCH ACTION PACKED INTO THAT, THAT PRESENTATION.
AND, UH, I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY TO GET AHOLD OF THAT VIDEO AND WATCH AND SEE ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN KYLE.
SO THANK YOU TO OUR MAYOR AND FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WERE ABLE TO ATTEND, UH, IT WAS TRULY A KIND OF A BANNER YEAR FOR THE STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS.
AND THANK YOU OBVIOUSLY TO THIS CAL CITY OR THE CAL CHAMBER FOR HOSTING THAT JUST AN UPDATE ON THE ELECTION, UH, FOR 2021.
SO THE DEADLINE TO FILE AN APPLICATION FOR PLACE ON THE BALLOT IS AUGUST 16TH LAST DAY, TO REGISTER TO VOTE VERSUS IT DOESN'T RATE IS OCTOBER 4TH AND THE EARLY VOTING DATES ARE OCTOBER 18TH THROUGH 29TH ELECTION DAYS, NOVEMBER 2ND MORE INFORMATION FORTHCOMING.
AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA TO MOVE US FORWARD EVEN FURTHER AND AFTERWARD 2021 PIE IN THE SKY.
UH, WE HAVE, UH, WE ARE CONTINUING OUR PLANNING FOR PIE IN THE SKY.
IT WILL BE OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND, SEPTEMBER 3RD THROUGH FIFTH.
YOU'LL SEE, UH, WE HAVE MORNING SESSIONS AS WELL AS EVENING SESSIONS.
TYPICALLY THE, THE HOTTER BALLOONS FLY BETTER IN THE MORNING.
UH, THE WIND IS A LOT MORE CALM AND, UH, THE AIR TEMPERATURE IS A LITTLE BETTER FOR THOSE BALLOONS TO GET UP.
SO, UH, TO THE PUBLIC, WE, WE REALLY ENCOURAGE
[00:30:01]
YOU AND, UH, OCCURRENCE YOU TO ATTEND.AND WE THINK THAT THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE A GREAT PIE IN THE SKY EVENT.
20, 21 VETERANS DAY PARADE, UH, WILL BE NOVEMBER 13TH.
THIS IS, UH, KIND OF OUR, OUR BIG SPLASH INTO VETERAN'S DAY WITH A PARADE.
UH, YOU'LL SEE ACTIVITIES, UH, THROUGH THE DAY, BUT 12 O'CLOCK TO 6:00 PM OR THOSE ACTIVITIES.
THE PARADE WILL BEGIN AT AT THE VFW HERE DOWNTOWN.
AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL GO TOWARD, UH, GREG CLARK PARK AND THEN THERE WILL BE A FIREWORK SHOW.
SO THIS IS KINDA THE FIRST BIG NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
WE'LL HAVE MORE, OBVIOUSLY, AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT, THAT EVENT, BUT THERE WILL BE A FIREWORKS DISPLAY AT DUSK AND FINALLY, UH, GROUNDBREAKINGS AND RIBBON CUTTING EVENTS.
SO WE HAVE OUR FIRST GROUNDBREAKING SCHEDULED SEPTEMBER 17TH.
SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT IS ON YOUR CALENDARS.
THAT IS FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER, UH, WHICH WILL BE ON LOCATION AT MARKETPLACE.
WE HAVE OUR NEXT GROUNDBREAKING EVENT, UH, OR IT'S KIND OF A HYBRID FOR MARY KYLE HARTSON PARK.
THEY'VE ALREADY BROKEN GROUND, BUT THIS IS WE'RE CALLING IT OUR PREVIEW EVENT AND IT WILL BE HELD DURING THE CENTER STREET TRICK OR TREAT THIS YEAR.
SO, UH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AGAIN, MORE INFORMATION COMING OUT, BUT WE'LL BE CLOSING DOWN A ROAD AND, AND CELEBRATING KYLE STYLE FOR THAT, UH, PARK PREVIEW.
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE ACTUAL FORMAL RIBBON CUTTING FOR MIRROR KYLE HARTSON PARK, WHICH WILL BE DURING SANCHEZ, ARRIVAL, AND TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY.
SO THIS'LL BE A PRETTY EXCITING TIME TO REALLY UNVEIL ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEEN BEING DONE AT THE PARK.
AND AS WELL AS THE, THE UPGRADED DECORATIONS THAT WE'LL HAVE ON THE SQUARE WITH THAT SAID, UH, I BELIEVE THAT CONCLUDES THE REPORT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AND SAMANTHA, WAS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE NEEDED TO COVER? OKAY.
WE'LL MOVE ON NEXT UP CONSENT AGENDA.
[VI. Consent Agenda]
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO PULL? I HAVE, UM, MR. BEAR, I HAVE MORE THAN A COMMENT ON NUMBER 11.UH, JUST WANTED TO THINK, UH, PAUL KENNY FOR, UH, ANSWERING MY EMAIL ON THOSE, THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DVS AND THE CHECKOUT.
UH, I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND COMING IN AND EXPLAINING THE REASON WHY WE'RE INCREASING IT FOR THE REST OF US TO HEAR.
I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH A LOT WITH THE LIBRARY CARDS ITSELF.
THEY COULD BE MORE EFFICIENT FOR THEM.
MAYOR COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD, I'M PAUL FALLON DIRECTOR OF LIBRARY SERVICES.
SO THE BOARD APPROVED A RESOLUTION TO INCREASE THE CHECKOUT LIMITS TO 25.
THAT'S A FAIRLY MODEST INCREASE THERE AT 20 RIGHT NOW.
AND WE MOVE UP TO DVDS FROM FIVE TO 10.
AND THERE'S REALLY JUST TWO VERY SIMPLE REASONS FOR THAT.
THE FIRST THING WAS WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF SPACE FOR OUR DVDS AND THEY'RE STILL VERY POPULAR.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, EVEN THOUGH SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO STREAM THINGS, BUT WE CHECK OUT A TON OF THOSE.
AND THE OTHER THING IS NOT SO MUCH FOR FOLKS THAT ARE, THAT ARE GOING TO INCREASE THEIR LIMITS THAT MUCH.
BUT WHAT WE SEE A LOT OF IS A PARENT WILL COME IN AND THEY'LL HAVE TWO OR THREE CHILDREN.
AND, AND IN ORDER FOR THEM, THE KIDS CAN GENERALLY GET A CARD, BUT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO TRACK THOSE MATERIALS BETTER, THEY'LL KEEP IT ON ONE CARD AND THEY'LL GET A COUPLE OF BOOKS FOR THIS PERSON, THIS, AND GET THEM A DVD AND PERHAPS THE HUSBAND OR THE WIFE.
SO WHAT THIS DOES FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS IS THEY CAN INCREASE THAT LIMIT A LITTLE BIT AND IT ALLOWS THEM TO TRACK THAT BETTER.
SO I THINK IN A SENSE, IT, IT, IT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY BE MORE RESPONSIBLE WITH THE USE OF THE CARD AND IT MAKES IT MORE CONVENIENT FOR THE CITIZENS.
SO, AND I WOULD SAY IN GENERAL TERMS, IT MEANS WE'RE GROWING UP A LITTLE BIT.
I MEAN, IF YOU LOOK AT CITIES LIKE AUSTIN AND NEW BRAUNFELS, YOU KNOW, THEIR, THEIR LIMITS ARE AROUND 50 AND IN THAT AREA, AND USUALLY SMALLER TOWNS ARE GOING TO HAVE A MUCH SMALLER, UH, LIMIT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT LESS ITEMS. SO WE'RE, WE'RE STARTING TO GROW UP A LITTLE BIT.
WE GOT, YOU KNOW, RIGHT AROUND 60,000 GIVE OR TAKE, UH, HARD ITEMS IN THE COLLECTION AND OTHER SAY 25, 27, UM, ELECTRONIC ITEMS. AND WE'RE ADDING TO THAT ALL THE TIME.
SO I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING THAT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE MORE TRAFFIC, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.
WE'RE ACTUALLY INCREASING THE AMOUNT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO CHECK OUT.
I THINK WE GOT OVER A DOZEN THERE LAST NIGHT.
I BOOKS, MY KIDS WERE VERY EXCITED.
THEY CAME HOME WITH ALL KINDS OF NEW BOOKS, SO I'M GLAD I DON'T KNOW IF WE HIT OUR LIMIT OR NOT, BUT IT'D BE NICE.
[00:35:04]
ALL RIGHT.NUMBER 10, APPROVE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
UM, I JUST WANT TO SAY GREAT BACKUP MATERIAL THAT LEON, UH, YOU KNOW, I LOOK THROUGH THIS STUFF, LIKE IT'S MY JOB.
AND, UM, HE ALWAYS HAS TOGETHER PUT SO, SO WELL.
AND THEN, UM, NUMBER 14, IS IT 14? AND THEN NUMBER 12, I LIED AGAIN.
UM, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S AN AGREEMENT WITH PARALLEL IS I HAD JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT LOOKS, WE'RE GOING TO, YOU'RE LOOKING TO APPROVE 18,250 IT'S OKAY.
I WAS GOING THROUGH THE AGREEMENT.
I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT THIS AMOUNT IS ONLY UP UNTIL PHASE TWO AND THEN PHASE THREE WILL BE DIFFERENT.
DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT PHASE THREE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE? COST-WISE WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED, UH, THE DESCOPE FOR THAT GUY.
I GUESS MY ONLY FEAR IS THAT WE GET INTO, I MEAN, WE DO PHASE ONE AND TWO AND THEN PHASE THREE COMES IN.
IT'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
AND THEN AT THAT POINT THERE'S NO BACKING OUT.
WELL, WE HAVE DEFINITELY LOOKED AT EACH PHASE VERY DIFFERENT, SO IT'S NEVER BEEN ASSUMED THAT WE WOULD GO THROUGH WITH ALL PHASES.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE LOOKED AT EACH POINT AND THERE WAS A QUESTION LIKE, ARE WE, IS THIS A GOOD FIT? WE DO FEEL LIKE THIS IS A REALLY GOOD FIT TO GET US TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND MAKING SURE THIS FESTIVAL HAPPENS AND IS THE BEST IT CAN BE.
OH, I, I, I LOOKED AT SOME OF THE SAMPLES THEY GAVE US FROM LIKE TACO CABANA AND THERE WAS TWO OTHER ONES AND THEY DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB.
SO YEAH, I DON'T HAVE ANY FEAR OF QUALITY.
SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE PHASE THREE AND THE COST FOR THAT.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS, 614 ON A SECOND MOVE BY CUSTOMER RIZZO, SECONDED BY CUSTOMER MEMBER.
UH, TOBY S IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, ALL OPPOSED.
NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 15.

(First Reading) An ordinance amending Chapter 53 (Zoning) of the City of Kyle, Texas, for the purpose of assigning original zoning to approximately 24.65 acres of land from Agriculture ‘AG’ to Manufactured Home Park District ‘M-3’ for property located 600 Bebee Road, in Hays County, Texas. (Estate of Janelle Hadsell - Z-21-0083) ~ Howard J. Koontz, Director of Planning and Community Development
Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the request.
- Public Hearing
THANKS MR. MAYOR FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS HOWARD COONS ON THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.
UM, FIRST OF MY ITEMS THIS EVENING, AS YOU STATED, IS A REQUEST TO REZONE ABOUT 25 ACRES OF PROPERTY.
THAT'S LOCATED OFF OF BB ROAD, UM, NEXT TO THE LAKESIDE MANUFACTURED HOME PARK.
UH, PREVIOUSLY THIS WAS THE SUBJECT OF A MINOR AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AND RECENTLY, UM, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS ANNEX THIS PROPERTY.
NOW THEY'VE COME FORWARD TO CHANGE THE ZONING FROM, UH, AG TO, UM, IT'S M THREE, WHICH WILL ALLOW A MANUFACTURED HOME PARK, WHICH IS WHAT'S EXACTLY ADJACENT TO THE NORTH AND TO THE EAST.
SO THE APPLICANT'S IS HERE THIS EVENING.
IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, UM, ON THE DEVELOPMENT, THE, UM, PLANNING AND ZONING HEARD THIS, UH, ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND THEY VOTED FIVE TO NOTHING WHICH WAS UNANIMOUS AT THE TIME, UM, FOR, UH, APPROVAL AS PRESENTED.
SO I CAN MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
DECIDED TO JUST HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
NOW SEEING NONE, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON THE SIDE OF SEEING NONE? I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS THERE, CUSTOMER TONIGHT? SORRY.
UH, I, UM, ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO REACH, UH, THE REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE STATE OF JANELL, UM, HASWELL AND KIND OF GOT AN OVERVIEW.
I KNOW OF VOTED, UH, NO, THE FIRST ON THE ANNEXATION, BUT I GOT WITH THEM AND, UM, THEY'RE REALLY EAGER TO TRY TO, UM, WORK ON, ON, ON TRYING TO GET SOME OF THIS LAND CHANGED OVER SO THEY COULD BE ABLE TO WORK OUT A CONTRACT.
AND WITH THAT SPEAKING WITH THEM, I UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY WERE COMING FROM.
SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS ITEM.
I, TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 15.
WELL, I DO HAVE A QUESTION A SECOND.
IT'S BEEN MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER TO BE A SECOND AND BAD CUSTOMER FLORES SCALE.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION CUSTOMER IN FLOOR?
[00:40:01]
HI, I JUST HAVE A COMMENT AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH, UH, THE ACTUAL REZONE, UM, MR. COONS, IF WE COULD HAVE OUR STAFF MAKES SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE APPLICANT COMPLETELY FILL OUT, UM, THE NOTARIZATION AND I, AND I DO SEE THAT THERE'S A NOTARIZED LETTER THERE.UM, BUT OUR, I THINK OUR NOTARIZATION COVERS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF, UM, LIABILITY FOR THE CITY.
SO IT'S NOT JUST A MERE, HEY, WE, UM, AUTHORIZE THIS PERSON TO REPRESENT US.
IT'S ALSO, THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO, SO, UM, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHY THEY PUT, YOU KNOW, SEE ATTACHED, UM, SEE ATTACHED, UH, EXECUTING NOTARIZED AGENT DESIGNATION LETTER, BUT MY HOPE IN, UM, HELPING DRAFT THIS DOCUMENT IS THAT THE CITY COMPLETELY COVERS THEMSELVES FROM LIABILITY.
SO DO YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN OR JUST, YEAH, WHAT THEY CAN DO IS THEY CAN NOTARIZE IT AND THEN SCAN IT AND SEND IT BACK INTO US.
I MEAN, NOTARIZATIONS ARE NOT FUN.
I DEAL WITH THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY AT WORK AND, UH, THE COUNTIES REQUIRE IT.
A LOT OF CITIES REQUIRE NOTARIZATION AS A, AS A, YOU KNOW, A WET PEN.
UM, I DON'T THINK IT'S TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR AND WE CAN DO WELL.
I MEAN, BEING WILLING TO ACCEPT A COPY OF A NOTARIZATION IS A PLUS.
I KNOW A LOT OF PLACES NEED AN ORIGINAL, BUT I'M SEEN AS, I THINK WE CAN ACCEPT A COPY.
OTHER THAN THAT GREAT JOB, LIKE, I MEAN, THEY DID, THEY FILLED IT OUT PRETTY WELL.
UM, I WAS JUST KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE, UM, COVERED ALL OUR LIABILITIES.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS ITEM BEING FINALLY PASSED NEGATIVE? SEEING NONE? IT IS FINALLY PASSED NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 16,
[16.
(First Reading) An ordinance amending Chapter 53 (Zoning) of the City of Kyle, Code of Ordinances for the purpose of modifying Sec. 53-5 Definitions (Building Acre, Multifamily Residential Restricted, Townhouse); Sec. 53-443 – Permitted Uses; Sec. 54-5 (Note 1). ~ Howard J. Koontz, Director of Planning and Community Development
Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval.
- Public Hearing
THIS ITEM HAS A PUBLIC HEARING.
MR. COONEY GOING FASTER THAN I CAN GO.
UM, THANK YOU MR. MAYOR, THIS, UM, THIS IS A TEXT AMENDMENT PRIMARILY TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THERE'S ONE SECTION THAT'S IN OUR LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING ORDINANCE.
UM, BUT BY AND LARGE, THIS IS A CLEANUP AMENDMENT FOR A COUPLE OF ITEMS, UH, FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS.
MOST OF THIS IS FOR CLARIFICATION.
AND ONE OF THESE IS WHAT I WOULD TERM, UM, SOME SORT OF A CATALYST, UM, THE, THE, AS IT RELATES TO OUR HOUSING TYPES IN THE CITY.
SO LET ME EXPLAIN, WE'LL GO THROUGH THIS.
THE, THE STAFF, UH, REPORT, ACTUALLY THE MEMO IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO USE THAT AS A SYLLABUS.
SO OF THE DEFINITIONS THAT ARE CHANGING THE SECTION 53, 5 THAT ARE CHANGING, THE CHANGES ARE LISTED IN BLUE AND THEY'RE UNDERLINED.
UH, THE FIRST CHANGE IS BUILDING ACRE.
IT'S HOW THE CITY OF KYLE REFERS TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NET DENSITY AND GROSS DENSITY.
THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY DOES NOT NECESSARILY RECOGNIZE BUILDING ACRE, AND WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN.
SO WE'VE ADDED ANOTHER SENTENCE IN HERE THAT SAYS, FOR KNOW, FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, BUILDING ACRE IS NET DENSITY.
IT'S GROSS ACREAGE MINUS THE STREETS, PARKS AND OTHER NON-BILLABLE PLACES, JUST SO PEOPLE WILL STOP CALLING US AND ASKING ON WHAT CAN THEY BUILD AND ON WHAT CAN THEY NOT BUILD? IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT BUILDING ACRE.
IT JUST ADDS ANOTHER SENTENCE, HOPEFULLY FOR SOME ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION.
UM, THE NEXT TWO, UM, DEFINITIONS HAVE TO DO WITH OUR, UM, THE WAY THAT WE ADMINISTER MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL RESTRICTED IS A SPECIFIC LAND USE THAT'S, UM, UH, APPLICABLE TO OUR DOWNTOWN DISTRICTS CBD ONE CBD TWO.
AND WHAT THEY MEAN IS THAT YOU CAN HAVE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCES, BUT THEY'RE RESTRICTED TO WHERE THEY CAN BE LOCATED, WHICH IS NOT ON THE GROUND FLOOR.
AND IT ALSO BY DEFINITION RESTRICTS THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT YOU CAN HAVE PER STRUCTURE, WHICH IT'S KEPT RIGHT NOW AT FIVE.
UH, WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS WITH, UH, MULTI-FAMILY BUILDERS AND DEVELOPERS AND THE FOLKS THAT WOULD BE BUILDING PROJECTS LIKE THIS IN OUR DOWNTOWN.
AND THEY STATED THAT, UH, THE NUMBERS JUST DON'T PENCIL OUT WHEN YOU TRY AND MAKE FIVE DWELLING UNITS IN A STRUCTURE SIMILAR TO, UH, THE HAZE FREE PRESS BUILDING.
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF MULTIFAMILY RESTRICTED, AS WELL AS WHAT WE'RE REFERRING TO AS THE HOWERY BUILDING, WHICH IS FURTHER DOWN ON SOUTH MAIN, WHERE THERE SHOPS UNDERNEATH AND RESIDENTIAL ABOVE, UM, IN TODAY'S CLIMATE, IN TODAY'S MARKET FOR, FOR THAT TO WORK, THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO IMMORTALIZE THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION AND THE ONGOING COSTS OF OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, THE RENTS OVER MORE UNITS.
AND WHAT WE FOUND IS WITH THE MINIMUM FLOOR
[00:45:01]
AREA THAT'S REQUIRED OF RESIDENTIAL AND THE SIZE OF THE FLOOR AREAS OF OUR PLANTED LOTS DOWNTOWN, WE COULD EASILY STILL BE ABLE TO, UM, INSTALL 10 DWELLING UNITS DOWNTOWN UP TO, I SHOULD SAY 10 UNITS IN OUR DOWNTOWN, UM, WHICH MAY VERY WELL MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE FOR AN ADDITIONAL HOUSING TYPE IN THE CITY OF KYLE, WHICH WOULD ALSO BRING A LITTLE BIT OF ACTIVITY TO OUR DOWNTOWN BY HAVING PERMANENT RESIDENCY, AS WELL AS OUR, AS WELL AS OUR BUSINESSES.SO, UM, WE DON'T THINK NECESSARILY THAT IT WILL COMPEL ANYONE TO BUILD UP TO 10, BUT AT LEAST IT CREATES THE ALLOWANCE AND IT CAN START THE CONVERSATION AS FAR AS THE CHANGE TO TOWNHOUSE.
THAT'S JUST TRYING TO RECTIFY THE IDEA THAT OUR DEFINITION TODAY STATES THAT A TOWNHOUSE HAS TO BE THREE OR MORE DWELLING UNITS IN A SINGLE STRUCTURE.
AND YET THE LANGUAGE IN OUR WARRANTY, WHICH IS THE ZONING DISTRICT OR TOWNHOMES ARE ALLOWABLE THE VERBIAGE IN OUR 20 STATES THAT IT NEEDS TO BE FOUR OR MORE DWELLING UNITS.
SO THIS IS JUST A, AN AMENDMENT TO MAKE THOSE TWO CONCEPTS CONGRUENT SO THAT THEY'LL COME TOGETHER.
UM, LATER WE TALK ABOUT, UH, UH, UH, REFERENCE CHANGE FOR ALLOWABLE USES IN CBD TO OUR TABLE OF PERMITTED USES AS IN 53 12.
SO WE PUT A REFERENCE TO THAT IN THERE.
SO FOLKS CAN FIND IT RIGHT WHEN THEY'RE READING THROUGH 53, 4 43.
UM, ADDITIONALLY WE'VE CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY IN CBD TWO, WHICH IS WHERE RESTRICTED MULTIFAMILY IS LOCATED.
UM, CURRENTLY THE RESTRICTION READS THAT NO DWELLING UNITS ARE PERMISSIBLE ON A GROUND FLOOR THAT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR GROUND FLOOR OF OUR BUSINESS DISTRICT REMAINS AN ACTIVITY CENTER FOR FOLKS THAT DON'T NECESSARILY LIVE THERE.
AND YOU DON'T WALL OFF AN ENTIRE BUILDING OR A BLOCK OF OUR DOWNTOWN WITH A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE.
BUT WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS BE ABLE TO CREATE A DWELLING UNIT THAT CAN BE LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE, NOT ACCESS FROM THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE, FOR THE PURPOSE OF WHAT WE HOPE WOULD BE, UM, HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE STRUCTURES.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE UNIT IN AN UPPER FLOOR, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO INSTALL AN ELEVATOR.
AN ELEVATOR IS A VERY COSTLY PREMISE IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
SO IF WE CAN HAVE ABLE-BODIED FOLKS ARE ABLE TO LIVE ON THE ABOVE GRADE FLOORS AND, UH, THE DISABLED FOLKS ARE ABLE TO, UM, UH, ACCESS A STRUCTURE FROM GRADE LEVEL.
IT WOULD CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IS AN UNDERSERVED MARKET, UM, WITHOUT CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF RIGHT DOWN OF OUR DOWNTOWN, UH, LASTLY IS A, UM, A CHANGE THAT I WANTED TO MAKE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
AND IT, UM, CHANGES NOT ONLY THE LOCATION OF WHERE TREES MAY BE LOCATED ON, UM, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.
WELL, ACTUALLY ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE NOTED IN THE CHART ABOVE, BUT IT ALSO CHANGES THE SIZE OF THE TREES THAT NEED TO BE INSTALLED.
CURRENTLY WE REQUIRE THREE INCH CALIPER TREES TO BE INSTALLED.
I'M SPEAKING AS AN ARBORIST, THAT'S, THERE'S A SURVIVABILITY ISSUE WITH PUTTING IN MATURE TREES IN THE GROUND BEFORE, RIGHT? IT DID, IT DID USE TO BE FOUR, WHICH WAS THE HORSE.
WHEN I GOT HERE, I'VE ALREADY LOST ONE OF THEM.
AND I W AND IT'S REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED BY CODE.
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO JUST LET THEM HI, THAT'S A CODE VIOLATION.
SO, UM, SO, UM, WHEN I NOT HERE, THE CITY OF KYLE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LONG AND DRAWN OUT, UM, REWRITE OF THE LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE.
AND I THOUGHT, GREAT, I'M AN ARBORIST AND HAVE BEEN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
I'VE GOT SOME GREAT PLANS RIGHT HERE IN THE CAN HERE LOOK AT THESE.
AND ONE OF THEM WAS THE REQUIREMENT TO USE TWO TO TWO AND A HALF INCH TREES.
IT WAS FOUND THAT THAT WASN'T ENOUGH IMPACT IMMEDIATELY UPON, UH, CONSTRUCTION.
THEY WANTED GREATER LANDSCAPING IMPACT.
THEY WANTED IT, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST THREE INDUSTRIES.
THE COMPROMISE AT THE TIME WAS TO PUT IN A THREE INCH TREE, WHICH I STILL THINK IS A PROBLEM FOR A TREE HARDING OFF, ESPECIALLY IN OUR EXTREME CLIMATE HERE.
SO, UM, YOU CAN SEE THE UNDERLYING TEXT HERE.
IT TALKS ABOUT YOU WOULD NEED A TOTAL OF TWO, AND THEY SHOULD BE TWO INCH TREES TO BE PLANTED PER RESIDENTIAL LOT.
UM, AND IN THE INSTANCE OF FRONT YARDS WHERE IT USED TO BE REQUIRED, THAT THEY WERE LOCATED IN THE FRONT YARD, IN THE INSTANCE THAT FRONT YARDS CONTINUE TO SHRINK SETBACKS, CONTINUE TO GET SMALLER.
AND SINCE WE'VE MOVED MOST OF OUR GARAGE OF TEXTURE OUT OF OUR ALLOWABLE CODE, AND THERE'S NO REASON THAT VEHICLES ACCESS FROM THE FRONT OF A STRUCTURE, UH, IT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY FRONT YARDS ARE, IT CAN SHRINK MORE AND REAR YARDS ARE GROWING MORE.
SO, UM, WE'VE MADE THE COMPROMISE THAT, UM, THE, THE TWO INDUSTRIES CAN BE LOCATED ANYWHERE ON THE RESIDENTIAL LOT, INCLUDING THE REAR YARD AND, UM, FOR THE ONES THAT WILL BE PLANTED IN THE FRONT YARD, IF THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON THE PRIVATE PROPERTY THAT CAN BE PLACED ADJACENT IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, AS LONG AS THEY DON'T, UM, CONFLICT OR INTERFERE WITH UNDERGROUND UTILITIES, BE THEY WET OR OTHERWISE, OR SIDEWALKS.
SO, UM, SOMETIMES IT CAN BE DONE, SOMETIMES IT CAN'T, BUT IT JUST CREATES A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY IN WHERE YOU CAN PUT LANDSCAPING, BECAUSE WE STILL VALUE THE IDEA OF OUR URBAN CANOPY, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE IT A LITTLE LESS ONEROUS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE CAN GET THAT STUFF IN THE GROUND.
[00:50:01]
ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT AT THE P AND Z MEETING.UH, THEIR VOTING MEETING WAS AT THE END OF JULY.
UM, EVERYBODY, UH, WAS PRETTY MUCH POSITIVE ON EVERYTHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
THERE WERE VERY FEW QUESTIONS AND THEY RECOMMENDED FIVE TO NOTHING FOR THESE AMENDMENTS TO BE, UH, AUTHORIZED IN OUR 50 CHAPTER 53 CHAPTER 54 PRESENTED.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OR COMMENTS ON THE PROPOSAL? UH, THERE'S A, ACTUALLY, THERE'S A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO IF I'M GOING TO DO THAT FIRST, JUST TO BE CONSISTENT THAT'S OKAY.
UH, IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP.
THE PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, SEEING THAT I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING CUSTOMERS? OH YEAH.
I JUST WANT TO THANK HOWARD AND, UH, P AND Z, I WAS ABLE TO SIT IN ON THIS MEETING ON OUR PUBLIC CHANNEL AND HEAR DISCUSSION ON THE TREES.
AND I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
I THINK, UH, YOU KNOW, PUTTING A TREE AND THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A BETTER SURVIVAL RATE IS JUST A PLUS AND NOT PUTTING A BURDEN ON, ON, UH, A RESIDENT WHO BUYS A HOME AND IS TRYING TO GET MORE, UH, UH, HAVE A COST SAVINGS.
SO BEING ABLE TO JUST DO IT ONE TIME WOULD BE GREAT AND THERE WAS STILL SOME CARE INVOLVED, BUT IT IS GREAT THAT WE'RE BEING PROACTIVE IN FINDING THESE, UH, UH, PROBLEMS THAT COULD ARISE IN THE FUTURE FOR A HOMEOWNER.
SO I JUST WANT TO THANK HOWARD INTO PNC COMMISSION.
THANK YOU, CASPER OR ANYTHING ELSE CUTS VERY FIRST KILL.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR BEING PROACTIVE.
UM, I ALWAYS HIGHLY ENCOURAGE STAFF TO LOOK FOR PLACES WHERE WE CAN MAKE THINGS BETTER.
AND, AND, UM, AND THIS IS, I THINK SOME OF IT, UM, YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.
MY CONCERN, WELL ACTUALLY, LET ME GO, LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION FIRST, BECAUSE I AM NOT AN ARBORIST AND NOR HAVE I EVER PLANTED A TREE, BUT WHEN YOU SAY TWO INCHES, DOES THAT MEAN IT'S SMALLER AROUND ESSENTIALLY? YES.
UM, TREES ARE MEASURED TWO WAYS JUST DEPENDING ON HOW BIG THEY ARE WHEN THEY'RE VERY SMALL, UM, THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY MEASURED BY THEIR HEIGHT.
AND THEN AS THEY CONTINUE TO GROW, THEY GET MEASURED AT A SPOT THAT'S 4.5 FEET OFF THE GROUND, WHICH IS CALLED DIAMETER AT BREAST HEIGHT.
SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DIAMETER, WHICH IS FROM THIS SIDE TO THIS SIDE, WHAT'S THAT MEASUREMENT.
WHEN I CAME TO THE CITY, IT WAS FOUR INCHES.
THE TREES NEEDED TO BE FOUR INCHES THAT TRANSLATES TO A TREE THAT'S ABOUT 15 TO 18 FEET TALL.
UM, IN LATE 2015, PROBABLY RIGHT AROUND EARLY 2016.
UM, THERE WAS AN AMENDMENT THAT WENT THROUGH THAT TOOK THAT DOWN TO THREE INCHES AND THAT TRANSLATES TO A TREE THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT 11 TO 15 FEET TALL, STILL PRETTY BIG.
WHAT, UM, THE SUGGESTION IS HERE FROM P AND Z AND FROM STAFF IS TO TAKE THAT DOWN TO A TWO-INCH CALIBER TREE FOR THE SAKE OF IT BEING TO OFF, AND THE ABILITY FOR IT TO HAVE A LONG-TERM SURVIVABILITY, AS WELL AS AVAILABILITY FROM PLANT NURSERIES.
A LOT OF NURSERIES ONCE A TREE GETS TO BE ABOUT TWO OR TWO AND A HALF INCHES, UH, AROUND AT THAT FOUR AND A HALF FOOT MARK, UM, THEY, THEY ACTUALLY, WE'LL PROBABLY JUST CUT THEM DOWN.
THERE'S NO REASON FOR THEM TO CARRY THAT INVENTORY.
NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE BUY TREES THAT ARE LARGER THAN THAT.
SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOUGHER TO SOURCE THEM, BUT YES, THAT'S, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW THEY'RE MEASURED BY THEIR TRUNK.
THAT IS THE MORE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY THING I'VE DEALT WITH AS FAR AS LIKE S LIKE LIVING AS THEY GET OLDER AS CHICKENS.
AND SO THE OLDER THEY ARE, THE BETTER THEY ARE, BUT CLEARLY THAT'S NOT THE CASE WITH TREES.
IS THERE A, IS THERE LIKE A SIZE THAT'S TOO SMALL? NO, TO BE HONEST.
UM, THAT'S WHY MOST, MOST NURSERIES WE'LL SEE WITH WHAT ARE CALLED LINERS.
LINERS ARE TREES THAT ARE ABOUT THE SIZE OF YOUR PINKY OR SMALLER.
AND GENERALLY THERE ARE ANYWHERE FROM LIKE TWO TO MAYBE THREE, THREE AND A HALF FEET TALL, DEPENDING ON THE TREE, BECAUSE THE YOUNGER, THEY ARE, THE MORE, THEY'RE MORE ABLE THEY ARE TO HARDY OFF AND BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THEIR CLIMATE IN WHICH THEY'RE GROWING.
AND THEIR SURVIVABILITY GRADE IS MUCH HIGHER.
THE OLDER THEY GET, THE MORE ESTABLISHED THEY GET AND CHANGES ARE, UH, CREATE A LOT OF STRESS AND TREES.
AREN'T VERY GOOD AT DEALING WITH STRESS.
YOU GET ABOUT ONE CHANCE FOR THE TREE TO COME BACK THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
IF IT DOESN'T COME BACK THE FOLLOWING YEAR, IT'S NEVER COMING BACK.
THAT'S UM, I'M GLAD TO KNOW THAT.
AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT JUST THE ONLY ONES HERE THERE'S PEOPLE WATCHING US.
AND SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO ASK QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS.
UM, SO MY OTHER CONCERN IS GOING TO BE THE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DOUBLING GOING FROM FIVE TO 10, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M HESITANT TO ADD, UH, I LIKED DENSITY, DON'T GET ME WRONG.
I DON'T KNOW IF I LIKE IT SO MUCH.
UM, IN, IN A RESIDENTIAL, SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE FEARS THAT I HAVE IS JUST THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC THAT I THINK, UM, COULD AFFECT KYLE IN THE LONG RUN.
SO I GUESS I'LL LOOK TO YOU FOR YOU TO GIVE ME REASSURANCE OR AN ANSWER AS TO HOW THAT WOULD AFFECT US.
UM, WE HAVEN'T FOUND ANY THREAT TO HEALTH, SAFETY, OR WELFARE.
WE HAVEN'T FOUND ANY DEFICIENCIES IN, UH, THE DOWNTOWN, UH, TRANSPORTATION NETWORK RIGHT NOW.
I KNOW CENTER STREET GETS POPULAR
[00:55:01]
AT THE WRONG TIME OF DAY.UM, BUT THERE'S A NUMBER OF FOLKS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT WOULD LIVE HERE THAT WOULD HAVE THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW THAT THERE'S MORE THAN ONE STREET THAT MOVES BOTH EAST AND WEST AND NORTH AND SOUTH THROUGH KYLE'S DOWNTOWN.
UM, SO THE OTHER THING IS THIS ONLY AFFECTS CBD TOO.
UH, MULTIFAMILY RESTRICTED IS ALLOWABLE IN CBD TOO.
AND IF YOU'VE SEEN OUR DOWNTOWN ZONING MAP, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S, THAT'S MOSTLY FROM THE PARK EAST BACK TOWARDS THE TRAIN TRACKS IS WHERE CBD TOO, AS YOU GET MORE AND MORE CBD ONE AS YOU MOVE WEST FROM THERE.
UM, SO THERE'S NOT ENOUGH OF IT REALLY TO HAVE AN APPRECIABLE, UH, NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR TRAFFIC, I DON'T BELIEVE.
I JUST WANT TO ADD TO THE COMMENTARY ON THE TREES.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE, I, I THINK THAT ORIGINAL LANDSCAPE ORDINANCES REP WAS WRITTEN WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, UM, FOR, IN CHICAGO, PATRICE ARE BIGGER AND THEIR IDEA BEING THAT LET'S GET BIG TREES IN SO THAT IT'S MORE ESTABLISHED AND IT LOOKS GOOD MO BETTER FROM DAY ONE, BUT, UH, EVERYTHING, ALL OF HOWARD'S COMMENTARY IS ACCURATE.
THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT AS, UM, THEY DON'T TAKE TO THE, I HAD TO GO BY THOSE FOUR INCH CALIPER TREES.
I'M ONE OF THE VERY FEW THAT WAS IN THAT ONE YEAR, WINDOW OF TIME WHEN IT WAS REQUIRED TO BE A FOUR INCH CALIPER AND THEY WERE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE POSSIBLE SOURCES.
YOU CAN FIND THEM LOCALLY IF I COULD FIND THEM.
AND THEN, UH, THEY STRUGGLED, YOU KNOW, CONSTANT WATER AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
AND SO THERE'VE BEEN A LOT OF STUDIES SHUT THAT SHOW A TWO INCH CALIPER TREE OVERTAKES, A FOUR INCH CALIPER TREE WITHIN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS, BOTH IN TERMS OF SIZE AND IN CERTAINLY IN TERMS OF HEALTH.
AND THEN RETROACTIVELY GO BACK IN TIME.
LET'S SAY MIHAI IS LIKE $20,000 WORTH OF TREES.
ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? NO, DEFINITELY.
UH, I KNOW THERE'S PROBABLY, UH, A VIOLATION OUT THERE.
OUR CODE IS PICTURES WOULD PROBABLY BE, UH, UH, A MENIAL BULL TEAM, BUT I'M NOT GONNA BRING THAT UP RIGHT NOW.
IT, IT, HOWARD, DID WE PASS THIS? ARE WE A PRETTY ONE THAT DID HAVE THOSE FORAGE TREES AND HAVE DIED NOW? ARE WE GONNA ALLOW THEM NOW TO DO A TWO INCH STREETS, TRY TO SAVE THEM SOME OF THAT BURDEN OF REDOING? YEAH.
THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT YOU HAVE TREES, BUT THE REQUIREMENT WOULD NOT BE FOUR INCH IN PERPETUITY.
IT WOULD BE WHATEVER THE PRESENT DAY STANDARD IS.
SO, SO WHEN YOU WANTED THAT, MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE KIND OF THOSE ORANGE TREES.
IF NILE DIED A CANAL, GO BACK AND DO A TWO-INCH TREE TO AT A COST SAVINGS.
CORRECT? I WOULD ASSUME THE COST SAVINGS, BUT YES, THE REST OF THAT IS ACCURATE.
COUNCILLOR ELLISON MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
IT'S MOVED BY CUSTOMER ELLISON SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER, FOREST KALE.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

(First Reading) An ordinance amending Chapter 53 (Zoning) of the City of Kyle, Texas, for the purpose of modifying Sec. 53-1047 – Authorized Conditional Uses; Exhibit A. – Plum Creek Planned Unit Development, Article II. – Planned Unit Development District, Part D. – Additional Use Regulations Sec. 1. - Additional use, height and area regulations and exceptions applicable to PUD districts unless otherwise approved by the city council. ~ Howard J. Koontz, Director of Planning and Community Development
Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval.
- Public Hearing
FIRST READING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 53 ZONING OF THE CITY OF KYLE, TEXAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF MODIFYING SECTION 53 DASH 1 0 4 7 AUTHORIZED CONDITIONAL USES PLUM CREEK, UH, PUD, UM, UM, ET CETERA.
WHAT'S THAT LAST ITEM DONE? ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT LAST ITEM? UH, ITEM NUMBER 16, BEING FINALLY PASSED.
THANKS FOR, UH, THIS IS ANOTHER AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF KYLE'S ZONING ORDINANCE.
THIS RELATES PRIMARILY TO BUILDING HEIGHT.
RECENTLY, WE HAD SOME QUESTION, UM, FROM A POTENTIAL DEVELOPER WHO HAD A QUESTION ABOUT BUILDING HEIGHT AND THERE WAS A PROJECT THAT WE THOUGHT WAS ATTRACTIVE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ABLE TO BUILD THEIR STRUCTURE BY RIGHT, UM, AT THE HEIGHT THAT WE, UH, MANDATE.
SO IN THE INTEREST OF NOT EXEMPTING OURSELVES FROM OUR OWN GOOD JUDGMENT, UM, WE WENT TO THE SECTION, UH, 53, 10 47.
THESE ARE WHEN, UM, SPECIAL CONDITIONS EXIST, UM, THAT MIGHT MAKE, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROJECT OUTSIDE OF THE STATUTORY METRICS THAT WE HAVE APPROPRIATE.
SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS FIRST OF ALL, WE TOOK CHURCHES AND ALL DISTRICTS WERE NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PERMITTED AS A CONDITIONAL USE BECAUSE THANKS TO FEDERAL LAW, CHURCHES ARE ALLOWABLE IN ALL DISTRICTS.
WE'RE NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PERMITTED AS LONG AS THERE'S NO DETRIMENT TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE CITY.
SO WE DON'T NEED NUMBER SIX ANYMORE.
AND WE RE NUMBERED, UM, WE MADE A REFERENCE TO, UM, A TABLE.
UH, SO FOLKS COULD FIND SOME MORE INFORMATION, BUT THE CRUX OF THIS TEXT AMENDMENT IS TO NO LONGER EXEMPT OURSELVES FROM OUR OWN GOOD JUDGMENT.
CURRENTLY, WE ALLOW BUILDINGS TO IT UP TO 150 FEET IN THE RS DISTRICT ALONE.
WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS BE ABLE TO MAKE BUILDING HEIGHT UP TO 150
[01:00:01]
FEET IN ALL COMMERCIAL, IN ALL NON RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.SO ZONING DISTRICTS THAT WOULD NOT FALL UNDER THIS PROVISION WOULD BE SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL, BOTH ATTACHED AND DETACHED TO FAMILY STRUCTURES, THREE FAMILY STRUCTURES AND TOWNHOMES.
SO THOUGH THOSE BUILDING HEIGHTS WILL STILL BE MANDATED BY THE CHART IN 53 33, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE, ALL OF OUR COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS ARE S O AND I WAREHOUSE CM, MXD.
UM, ANY PLACES THAT HAVE A COMMERCIAL COMPONENT TO THEM, UM, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COME TO THE COUNCIL AND ASK FOR PERMISSION TO EXCEED WHAT IS TYPICALLY A 45 FOOT AND THREE STORIES BUILDING HEIGHT.
SOMETIMES IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON THE DISTRICT, BUT WE WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO AT LEAST HAVE THE CONVERSATION RATHER THAN JUST SENDING PEOPLE AWAY, UM, WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION.
SO THAT'S EFFECTIVELY WHAT THE, THE, THE MAJOR CHANGE IS IN THE, THIS TEXT AMENDMENT TONIGHT 4 53, 10 47.
AND FINALLY, AND I WANT TO PUT THIS ON THE RECORD.
WE ARE CHANGING THE PHRASE IN HERE THAT TALKS ABOUT, UM, PLACES THAT WERE NOT INTENDED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION THAT SHOULD ACTUALLY READ PLACES, NOT INTENDED FOR OCCUPATION, NOT HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
SO I KINDA LIKE LEAVING THAT THERE.
FUNNY, IT'D BE FUNNY IF IT WASN'T HAPPENING TO US, IF IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE, IT WOULD BE A LOT FUNNIER, BUT IT'S OURS.
SO, UM, WE'VE, UM, PUT THE IDEA OF A SPECIAL EXCEPTION PROCESS HERE.
UM, AND ADDITIONALLY, THE COUNCIL MAY AT THEIR DISCRETION WITH AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF FOUR MORE MEMBERS REQUEST A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE P AND Z, UH, PRIOR TO MAKING YOUR DECISION.
BUT THIS IS, THIS IS AN IDEA THAT CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FLEXIBILITY.
IT DOES NOT MAKE THE OPPORTUNITY.
IT CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCH.
THIS ITEM HAS A PUBLIC HEARING.
IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SEEING NONE, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM THAT ALREADY DO THIS? I DON'T THINK SO.
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IT IS NOW CLOSED, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, MOTIONS.
I AM A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED, UM, THAT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF EXTRA WORK MAYBE FOR COUNCIL.
UM, NOT THAT I'M NOT WILLING TO DO IT.
I WAS JUST WHEN, AS I WAS READING THIS, I COULDN'T HELP, BUT TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY OF THESE WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW, I MEAN, I, I GUESS MY WANT IS TO GET A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC ON WHY WE WOULD SAY NO, AND THEN WE, THEN, THEN COUNCIL COULD VOTE ON THAT.
SO MAYBE IT'S A YES, UNLESS, UNLESS PLANNING AND ZONING ARE, AND HOWARD SAYS NO, AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL COULD DECIDE, I DON'T FOLLOW YOU.
SO YOU, YOU, YOU WANT THEM, YOU WANT THEM TO COME TO THE COUNCIL IF THEY'RE DENIED THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXCEED 45 FEET OR NO, NO, THAT'S THE ONE 50.
SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE HOWARD AND PUTTING THE ZONING AND EVERYBODY BEFORE US TO REALLY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ON YES.
AND THEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE, NO, THEN IT COMES TO COUNCIL, BUT THIS LOOKS LIKE THIS IS JUST MAYBE IF WE DECIDE, THEN COUNCIL CAN DECIDE, IS THAT WHAT I'M GETTING? I MEAN, YOU'RE LAUGHING.
DO YOU AGREE? I WOULD LOVE THAT.
HOWEVER, UM, THESE HONESTLY ARE ISSUES THAT MERIT A PUBLIC HEARING.
YOU NEED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FOLKS THAT MAY CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE EFFECTED BY THIS TO COME FORWARD.
SO GOING IN ORDER, YOU TALKED ABOUT, YOU WERE WORRIED ABOUT THE WORKLOAD, UM, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS, I CAN THINK OF TWO APPLICATIONS IN SIX YEARS WHERE THE FOLKS HAVE COME BY AND THEY'VE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT WAS TOO TALL.
AND WE HAD TO START OUR SHOULDERS AND SAY, SORRY, NOT ONLY CAN YOU NOT DO THAT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOU THE CHANCE TO EVEN ASK THE QUESTION.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE SEEN OUR CODE AND HAVE NOT CONTACTED US, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN MORE THAN THE TWO, BUT I KNOW OF TWO THAT HAVE CONTACTED ME WHERE WE'VE HAD TO SEND THEM AWAY.
UM, SO I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT THE WORKLOAD WILL BE THAT HIGH, BUT IN ANY OPPORTUNITY WHEN YOU GET THE CHANCE TO, YOU KNOW, W WHAT I REFER TO IS DON'T EXEMPT YOURSELF FROM YOUR OWN GOOD JUDGMENT.
YOU MAY SEE SOMETHING GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU'D SAY, OH, WOW, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT.
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT HERE, BUT THE, THE BOOK GOT IN THE WAY, AND THEN YOU GET MAD AT ME BECAUSE I'M THE GUY THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOOK.
SO THIS, THIS JUST GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION.
THE ANSWER MAY BE NO, SOMEBODY MAY COME FORWARD AND JUST KEEP PRESSING IT AND PRESSING IT.
AND IT MAY, IT MAY TAKE THE COUNSEL SAYING NO, AS FAR AS MAKING IT AN AVAILABILITY FOR STAFF TO APPROVE UP TO 150 FEET.
SO AM I, I GUESS MY CONCERN IS, IS THERE A GUIDELINE WHERE COUNCIL WOULD
[01:05:01]
SAY YES, LIKE HOW WOULD WE KNOW THE CONDITIONS THERE WOULD BE CONDITIONS MOST LIKELY, UM, WE WOULD LOOK AT THE, THE FIRST THING YOU WOULD LOOK AT IS THE VIEW SHED AND ANY PERCEIVED IMPACT TO ADJOINING PROPERTIES, RIGHT? ANYBODY THAT'S AROUND.SO IF YOU HAD, I KNOW LET'S SAY HEB WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF PLUM CREEK.
LET'S JUST SAY PLUM CREEK WAS NORMAL.
AND THERE WAS A BIG COMMERCIAL USE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
AND THEY WANTED TO PUT A BELL TOWER THAT WAS 90 FEET ON TOP OF THEIR BUILDING.
UM, THAT, THAT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE DELETERIOUS EFFECT TO THE FOLKS AS THEY WALK OUT THE FRONT PORCH AND SEE THIS BIG KYLE TOWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE.
ADDITIONALLY, THERE'S THE IDEA OF, UM, YOU KNOW, FALLS ZONES AND THINGS FOR ANYTHING THAT'S NECESSARILY BUILT THAT WAY.
THAT WOULD BE SO NARROW THAT IT WOULDN'T PUT UP THE WIND LOADS AND WOULD NEED GUIDEWIRES TO HOLD IT UP AGAIN.
THAT'S, THAT'S GOING TO GET WIDER AS IT GETS TALLER.
UM, YOU ALSO NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE USE, THE USE THAT CAME TO US, UH, THAT WE HAD TO SEND AWAY THE SPACE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS NOT, UH, OCCUPIED SPACE.
THEY HAD A LOT OF CRANES, IT WAS MATERIAL THAT NEEDED TO BE MOVED IN RAW MATERIALS THAT WERE MOVED IN, AND THEN THEY WERE MADE SMALLER BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY EXITED THE BUILDING ON THE GROUND, BUT THEY STILL NEEDED TO COME INTO THE BUILDING FROM HIGH SPACES.
AND, UM, SO THAT, THAT'S ANOTHER IDEA OF WHETHER OR NOT THOSE, THOSE UPPER FLOORS ARE ACTUALLY OCCUPIED OR NOT.
THAT'S ANOTHER THING TO THINK ABOUT, BUT TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS, THE ABILITY TO GET WATER UP TO THOSE HIGHER LEVELS, OR WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A TANK UP THERE.
AND THAT GRAVITY IS DOWN FOR THE SAKE OF THE BUILDING, UM, AND WHETHER OR NOT, UH, LIFE SAFETY, YOU KNOW, WE ARE OUR BUILDING HEIGHTS RIGHT NOW, 55 FEET IS, IS, UH, ONE OF THE, THE, THE HEIGHTS WHERE THE, THE ESD IS GOING TO GET INVOLVED.
CAUSE ONCE YOU GET ABOVE THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A DEDICATED, UM, LIFE SAFETY EGRESS, STAIRWELLS THAT GO DOWN THE SIZE BECAUSE LADDERS REALLY ONLY GO UP TO ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN STORIES.
SO YOU DON'T WANT TO GET TOO MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT, OR YOU CAN'T GET PEOPLE OUT OF THE BUILDING.
IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY ON THE LOWER FLOORS, THERE'S A NUMBER OF CRITERIA THAT WE'LL GO THROUGH THESE, THESE WON'T BE ARBITRARY.
WE WON'T JUST FILL OUT THE APPLICATION AND THROW IT ON THE DESK OF THE COUNCIL.
WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE SOME, UH, ANALYSIS THAT GOES BEHIND IT AS WELL, WHICH YOU'LL PROVIDE TO COUNSEL BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID WAS REALLY NOTHING THAT I KNEW.
SO, UM, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, ME LEARNING, BUT, YOU KNOW, IN THE EVENT THAT WE DO HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS, I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO LIKE, DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND OUR RESEARCH.
SO, UM, DO YOU TRUST YOU AND I TRUST STAFFS TO, TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS, BUT I SEE YOUR POINT ON LIKE 150 IS A LOT, BUT, UM, AGAIN, YOU PROBABLY KNOW MORE THAN I DO IN THAT AREA.
THE QUESTIONS COMMENTARY MOTIONS, OR LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA ITEM IS WRITTEN SECOND, MOVED BY CUSTOMER ELLISON SECOND, AND BY MAYOR PRO TEM COACH, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 18 CONSIDERATION
[18. Consideration of an application to waive requirements for public road access to Lots 4A & 4B of the Oak Mesa Subdivision. ~ Howard J. Koontz, Director of Planning and Community Development]
OF AN APPLICATION TO WAIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC ROAD ACCESS TO LOTS, FOUR A AND FOUR B OF THE OAK MESA SUBDIVISION.I'M GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN HERE.
UM, BECAUSE I GOT A VISUAL THAT GOES ALONG WITH THIS THAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK AT.
AND THIS IS THE REQUEST TO WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC ROAD ACCESS.
IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS A REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR A PRIVATE STREET PRIVATE DRIVE.
UM, IT'S JUST THE WAY IT'S WORDED IN OUR ORDINANCE.
WHAT WE'VE GOT IS AN EXISTING LOT.
THAT'S LOCATED, UM, EVERYBODY'S IN THE WAY, LET ME MOVE THIS BOX.
UH, THIS IS LOCATED ON FM ONE 50 WEST AND IT IS, UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT UP HERE.
UM, THIS IS CLOCKED JUST A LITTLE BIT, UH, TO THE RIGHT, A LITTLE BIT CLOCKWISE.
SO DUE NORTH IS JUST A LITTLE BIT NORTHEAST AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS.
UM, WHAT WE'VE GOT IS AN EXISTING LOT, UM, ON ONE 50 WEST THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS 21 ACRES.
AND WHAT THEY'RE SEEKING TO DO IS SPLIT THIS INTO TWO.
CURRENTLY IT TAKES ACCESS FROM THIS, UM, 60 FOOT EASEMENT.
THAT GOES FROM ONE 50 THROUGH THESE LOTS.
WHAT'S DO ACCESS ONE 50 DOWN TO THIS LANDLOCKED PARCEL.
THEIR EXPECTATION IS TO TAKE THAT FROM ONE LOT AND MAKE IT INTO TWO LOTS.
SO, UM, I, I THINK, I THINK IF I, OH, DON'T DO THAT.
I THINK IF I SHARE MY SCREEN, I'VE GOT THE ARIEL, OH, YOU CAN'T SEE THESE, HOLD ON.
THIS IS THE AREA OF WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT.
[01:10:01]
THIS WAY IS A QUAIL RIDGE AND THE OTHER ONE, UH, SOMETHING, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT RIGHT NOW, BUT THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION, THIS IS THAT DOGLEG EASEMENT THAT COMES DOWN.AND THE LOT IN QUESTION IS OVER IN THIS AREA.
I BELIEVE THAT NOPE, THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE HUGO, UM, ELIZONDO IS NOT HERE THIS EVENING, BUT I TALKED WITH HIM EARLIER ABOUT THIS.
SO, UM, I'LL STOP SHARING MY SCREEN, BUT ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE FOUND IS THIS IS A LOT, UH, THAT EXISTS TODAY AND WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST, UM, EFFECTIVELY IN THE NEW CONFIGURATION OF TWO LOTS AND STUFF.
ONE WE'LL CONTINUE TO TAKE THE SAME ACCESS AND SHOULD NOT CHANGE AT ALL.
WE DIDN'T FIND ANY, UM, PERCEPTIBLE THREAT TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE CITY.
AND WE ARE AWARE THAT THE COUNTY WOULD PREFER THAT WE DO NOT, UH, DEDICATE AND HAVE IMPROVED MORE ROADS THAT THEY NEED TO MAINTAIN, ESPECIALLY MORE ROADS THAT HAVE SUCH A LOW SERVICE, WHICH WOULD BE, THIS WOULD BE FOR TWO LOTS.
SO, UM, STAFF RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO APPROVE THIS SUBDIVISION AS DRAWN.
WE'RE JUST NOT ABLE TO DO THIS ADMINISTRATIVELY.
IT NEEDS TO BE DONE BY COUNCIL SO I CAN MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, YOU QUESTIONS TO ANY, UH, CO UH, THANK YOU, MR. KOONS, ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTARY? OKAY.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS BECAUSE IT'S IN OUR ETJ, IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY.
HOW, HOW WERE, UM, DO WE KNOW HOW MANY HOMES THEY'RE ALLOWED TO PUT UP FOR HER LOT? HOW BIG ARE THE LOTS? THE TWO LOTS TO BE CREATED? THE SMALLER OF THE TWO LOT FOUR A WOULD BE SIX ACRES.
AND THE LARGER OF THE TWO, FOUR B WOULD BE 15 AND A HALF ACRES.
DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OF HOMES THAT ARE PROPOSED ON THE NEW LOTS, BUT WE HAVE NO AUTHORITY OR JURISDICTION OVER THE NUMBER OF LOTS THAT THEY BUILD.
SO, BECAUSE THIS ISN'T, YEAH, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THE ROADWAY.
AND UH, SO THE ROADWAY GOES IN THAT IT'D BE A NICE, WOULD IT BE CONSIDERED AN EASEMENT FOR ALL THOSE HOMES GOING IN THERE BECAUSE WHAT DO THEY START SELLING HOMES AND PUTTING A COUPLE OF HOMES AND THEY START SELLING WELL, THAT ROAD STAY AS A DEDICATED EASEMENT OR SOMEBODY'S GOING TO OWN IT.
NO, IT, IT READS THAT IT'S A PLATITUDE 60 FOOT PRIVATE ROADWAY, EASEMENT AS RECORDED IN BOOK SIX, PAGE 47 AND 48.
SO IT'S A, IT'S A PLOTTED ACCESS EASEMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE BACK THERE ACCESSING THOSE LOTS.
SO THERE IS NO TIME, NOT ONE RESIDENT COME OUT SAY, HEY, I OWN THAT ROAD.
IT'S IT'S, IT'S ALMOST LIKE AN EASEMENT, CORRECT.
IT'S DEDICATED NOW FOR EVERYBODY IN, IF THEY BUILD MORE THAN ONE ON THERE, CORRECT.
IT, IT IS A RECORDED EASEMENT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T TIE SOMEONE IN.
I KNOW, I KNOW, THERE'S YOU, IF YOU SELL A PROPERTY, THEY HAVE TO HAVE A WAY OUT, NO MATTER WHAT, YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE THEM A WAY OUT.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T GO INTO SOMETHING.
THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM DOWN THE ROAD, SO, OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS CUTS FOR, FOR SCOUTS REAL QUICK.
UM, SO IF WE'RE, WE'RE JUST DOING A WAIVER FOR THE 15 AND THE SIX.
SO IN THE FUTURE, IF THEY SELL THAT OR IF THEY BREAK THAT OFF, WILL THEY HAVE TO COME BACK AND GET ANOTHER WAIVER? OR ONCE WE SAY, NO, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU THIS WAIVER.
PERMISSION TO DIVIDE THIS SINGLE LOT INTO TWO WILL BE EFFECTED BY THIS ACTION.
THIS IS THE ONLY ACTION THAT'S BEING AUTHORIZED BY THE COUNCIL.
SO ANYTHING THAT THEY WANTED TO DO IN THE FUTURE WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER QUESTION.
ITEM 18 IS WRITTEN SECOND, MOVED BY MEDPRO TIM COACH.
CALLAWAY APPROVED UNITED MEMBER 18 IS THROUGH DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY, AYE, ALL OPPOSED.
ANY OBJECTION TO ITEM 17, WHICH IS THE PREVIOUS ITEM BEING FINALLY PASSED.
WE'LL JUST GO TO 20 NEXT UP AGENDA.
[20. Approve a resolution accepting a petition for the creation of the Kyle 57 Public Improvement District and calling for a public hearing. ~ Paige Saenz, City Attorney]
A RESOLUTION, ACCEPTING A PETITION FOR THE CREATION OF THE COL 57 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING MAYOR AND COUNCIL PAGE SCIENCE CITY ATTORNEY FOR THE RECORD, THE DEVELOPER FOR THE CAL 57 PROJECT HAS SUBMITTED A PITT PETITION FOR ISSUANCE OF PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF BONDS TO FUND CERTAIN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS TO ALLOW THE COUNCIL TO ACCEPT
[01:15:01]
THAT PETITION AND TO SET A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CREATION OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.UH, THE, THE DEVELOPER HAS LISTED SETS OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS THAT WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO THIS PROJECT IN THE EVENT THAT THE PIT IS CREATED.
THOSE ITEMS ARE IN THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, BACKUP MATERIAL.
IT INCLUDES, UH, SOME ENHANCED PARK SYSTEMS AND TRAIL SYSTEMS. IT INCLUDES UNDERGROUNDING OF CERTAIN INFRASTRUCTURE CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS THAT.
UH, IN ADDITION, THE DEVELOPER HAS AGREEMENTS WITH THE CITY THAT HAVE REQUIRED THE DEVELOPER TO INSTALL, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING A WASTEWATER LINE THAT HE HAD TO TAKE FROM A DISTANCE THAT WAS QUITE FAR FROM THE PROJECT AND, UH, AGREEMENTS WITH THE DEVELOPER RELATED TO THOSE KINDS OF UTILITIES HAVE CONTEMPLATED THE DEVELOPER COMING FORWARD WITH A PID AS WELL, THE DEVELOPERS HERE, AND HE CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ANSWERING QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE AS WELL.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR PAGE OR FOR THE APPLICANT? I THINK SOME AIRLIE, THE, THE DISCUSSION THAT WE'VE HAD IS THAT THE, THIS, LIKE YOU SAID, THIS STARTS TO PUBLIC HEARING, SO THEY'RE STILL, UM, IT'S WHAT ALLOWS FOR US TO BASICALLY ENTER INTO THE FINER POINTS OF THE DISCUSSIONS AROUND AMENITIES AND RESOURCE ALLOCATIONS AND PRIORITIES, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
MAYOR MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 20 AS WRITTEN MOVE BY MAYOR PRO TEM COACH SECOND, AND BY CUSTOMER FORCE, KAYLA, WE APPROVED AN ITEM.
IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
I NEED TO CALL THAT VOTE AGAIN.
I DIDN'T QUITE, DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR.
WAS THAT A YES OR NO? THE TIMING WAS A LITTLE OFF, SORRY TO STEP AWAY, BUT UH, OKAY.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE CAUSE THERE'S AUDIO AT THE END.
I JUST, SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS.
UH, NEXT UP, UH, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 21,
[21.
[Postponed 7/20/2021] (Second Reading) An Ordinance of the City of Kyle, Texas, Amending Article II to Include a Section 12-23 Roundabouts, Requiring Use of Roundabouts in Certain Intersections, Requiring Consideration of Roundabouts in Certain Intersections, Requiring Compliance with National Standards in the Construction of Roundabouts, Requiring Notice of Exclusions, Providing Severability, Effective Date, and Open Meetings Clauses; and Providing for Related Matters. ~ Leon Barba, P.E., City Engineer
The City Council voted 6-1 to approve on First Reading.
]A SECOND.READING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KYLE TEXAS, A MEANING ARTICLE TWO TO INCLUDE A SECTION 12 DASH 23 ROUNDABOUTS REQUIRING USE OF ROUNDABOUTS SENSOR INTERSECTIONS REQUIRING CONSIDERATION ROUNDABOUTS AND CERTAIN INTERSECTION REQUIRING COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL STANDARDS IN THE CONSTRUCTION ROUNDABOUTS REQUIRING NOTICE OF EXCLUSIONS, SEVERABILITY EFFECTIVE DATE, OPEN MEETINGS RELATED MATTERS.
UH, THIS WAS POSTPONED FOR SOME DISCUSSION, I THINK.
UM, MR. BARBARA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, LEON BARBARA CITY ENGINEER, UH, MARIN COUNCIL, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, PHOTOS COLLAPSES TO LOOK AT ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY IN SECTION B OF THIS, UH, UH, ROUNDABOUT SECTION.
AND WE DID ADD SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO KIND OF CLARIFY WHEN WE THOUGHT THE ROUNDABOUT WOULD WORK AND WHEN IT WOULDN'T WORK, WE ALSO ADDED AN APPEAL PROCESS IN THERE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
OH, THERE ARE, THERE IS AT LEAST TWO TYPOS IN HERE.
SO WE'LL GET THOSE CORRECTED, UH, SECTION E AS A REFERENCES SECTION B ONE AND TWO SHOULD BE B A ONE TO TWO SHOULD BE B ONE AND TWO.
SO, AND THERE'S A TYPO ON THE HEADING ALSO, BUT WE PICKED UP ON THOSE, THE CHANGES.
I DON'T SEE THE RED LINE SO WE CAN HAVE YOU READ THEM THE CHANGES COUNCIL MEMBER FORESTALE GAVE US THE CRUSHING.
AND YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THAT CORRECTION.
YOU THINK IT'S A FINE CORRECTION? YES, IT'S PERFECT.
SO, UM, SO WE NEED THE MOTION TO INCLUDE THOSE CHANGES THAT I DON'T KNOW, WE HAVEN'T SEEN OR WHATEVER, OR IS IT STILL THE ORIGIN? IT SHOULD BE AS PART OF THE MOTION.
YEAH, NO, THERE'S THERE'S THERE ARE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE.
SO I CAN'T, YEAH, WE CAN, WE'VE GOT A RED LINE, THE VERY LAST ONE SHOULD SAY 38 DASH TWO B ONE OR TWO, AS LONG AS IT SAYS B INSTEAD OF EIGHT AND YOU'RE GOOD, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE APPEAL PROCESS, RIGHT? YEAH.
DO YOU WANNA, LET ME SAY THIS WAS, UM, EXCELLENT WORK.
UM, SO OF COURSE I LOOKED AT IT AND I HIGHLIGHTED IT AND DEFINITELY BETTER THAN THE FIRST, BUT THIS IS, THIS WAS REALLY GOOD.
SO I WAS WRITING, READING IT AND THE ONLY ONE I FOUND WAS AN E OTHER THAN THAT, IT WAS GREAT.
SO, UH, FS THE APPEAL PROCESS, CORRECT.
I JUST SENT YOU A RED LINE COPY, AND THIS IS PAGE SCIENCE FOR THE RECORD.
[01:20:01]
A RED LINE COPY.AND I CAN DESCRIBE THAT TO YOU.
IF YOU'D LIKE, UM, SPECIFICALLY WE ADDED A SUBSECTION F, WHICH IS AN APPEAL PROCESS SO THAT THE APPLICANT DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE CITY ENGINEER'S DECISION.
LET ME START AT THE BEGINNING.
IT'LL MAKE MORE SENSE THAT WAY.
UM, IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF RED LINE, BUT WE BASICALLY JUST, UM, RESTATED SOME CONCEPTS HERE.
WE CLARIFIED THAT, UH, USED MORE OF THE LANGUAGE FROM YOUR EXISTING ORDINANCES TO DESCRIBE WHEN A ROUNDABOUT IS REQUIRED.
AND THAT WOULD BE WHEN THERE'S AN INTERSECTION OF A COLLECTOR STREET WITH A MAJOR ROADWAY, MAJOR THOROUGHFARE STREETS OR ARTERIAL STREETS.
SO WE USE SOME OF THE TERMINOLOGY FROM YOUR EXISTING, UH, SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES THAT CLASSIFIES STREETS IN CERTAIN WAYS.
AND SO WE INCLUDED THAT LANGUAGE FOR SOME ADDITIONAL SPECIFICITY.
THAT'S WHEN OUR, UH, ROUNDABOUT WILL BE REQUIRED.
UM, THE EXCEPTIONS ARE, THE ROUNDABOUT IS NOT REQUIRED IF IT'S NOT FEASIBLE DUE TO CERTAIN SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES.
AND THOSE ARE DETERMINED BY THE CITY ENGINEER.
SO WE PUT MORE DETAIL AROUND WHEN THE CITY ENGINEER CAN SAY NOT FEASIBLE.
AND THAT DETAIL IS THERE'S NOT A SUFFICIENT SPACE ON AVAILABLE LAND OR LAND THAT CAN BE ACQUIRED BY THE APPLICANT OR THE CITY TO LOCATE THE ROUNDABOUT.
SO THAT ENCOMPASSES, UM, THE CITY BEING ABLE TO, AND THE APPLICANT BE ABLE TO BEING ABLE TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY FOR THE ROUNDABOUT, OR IF THERE'S SOME LAND CONDITION OR EXISTING ROADWAY DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW FOR INSTANCE, INSTALLATION OF A ROUNDABOUT THAT COMPLIES WITH THE SECTION.
SO THEN THAT ALLOWS FOR SOME CITY ENGINEER DISCRETION BECAUSE THEY INTERPRET AND APPLY THE, THE FEDERAL STANDARDS.
UM, THEY'VE GOT TO IDENTIFY THE LOCATION, THE ROUNDABOUT, THE APPLICANT HAS TO IDENTIFY THE LOCATION, THE ROUNDABOUT, WHEN THEY SUBMIT A CONCEPT PLAN OR SITE PLAN, JUST DEPENDING ON WHAT STAGE THIS COMES UP IN DEVELOPMENT.
IF THEY HAVE TO SUBDIVIDE, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO IDENTIFY IT AT THE EARLIEST STAGE CONCEPT PLAN.
IF THEY DON'T HAVE TO SUBDIVIDE, THEY IDENTIFY THE ROUNDABOUT AT SITE DEVELOPMENT.
UM, IF THEY WANT THE CITY ENGINEER TO FORGIVE THEM FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO INSTALL A ROUNDABOUT, THEY HAVE TO REQUEST THAT AT THE TIME THEY SUBMIT THE CONCEPT PLAN OR SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, CITY ENGINEER MAKES A DETERMINATION.
IF THE APPLICANT IS AGGRIEVED BY THAT, THEN THEY APPEAL THE DECISION, UM, WITH, TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
AND THEY'VE GOT TO DO THAT WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE CITY ENGINEER'S DECISION.
IT GOES STRAIGHT TO COUNCIL FOR AN APPEAL.
MY CONCERNS WERE JUST LIKE, HEY, WHAT'S THE EXCLUSIONS.
AND THEY DID A REALLY GOOD JOB COVERING THAT.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM, SAY 21 22 21.
IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES KALE SECOND BY THE MAYOR.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION COUNCILOR TOBY'S UM, AGAIN, I'M SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS.
UH, I, I GET IT WITH THE TRAFFIC THOUGH.
UH, MY BIGGEST CONCERN AGAIN, IS THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC THAT ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TRY, TRIED TO CROSS THE STREET THERE AT A TIME.
AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING BY BURLESON THE OTHER DAY, I SAW THIS CONTINUOUS FLOW OF CARS AND SOMEBODY WAS TRYING TO CROSS, AND OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T GET ACROSS.
SO I'M JUST LOOKING AT THAT SAFETY ASPECT, BUT ALL, OH, HOPEFULLY THE UPGRADED STANDARDS WILL REQUIRE THE BETTER PEDESTRIAN CROSSING.
SO I THINK THAT IS PROBABLY A PART OF THE NATIONAL STANDARDS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ENGINEERED TO, TO THAT.
IS THAT, IS THAT THE CASE MAYOR IN REVIEWING THOSE GUIDELINES, THEY DO HAVE SOME TECHNIQUES OR SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO ADDRESS THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING.
SO THERE'S SOME REALLY GOOD IDEAS IN THERE.
WELL, THAT'S, I GUESS THAT'LL BE YOUR DISCRETION TO, TO AS FAR AS MAKING SURE THAT THOSE FEATURES ARE ENGINEERED AND INSTALLED, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WILL BE JUST AN EXPECTATION FROM ALL RIGHT.
WE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO ON THESE NEXT ONES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT, WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE INCLUDING IN THERE CAUSE THAT'S ONE OF OUR, UH, PUSHES US TO GET MORE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS.
SO IT DEFINITELY HAS TO BE ONE OF OUR GOALS THAT WE LOOK AT.
I'M NOT TRYING TO SWAY YOU ON THAT COUNSELOR, TOBY, I'M JUST AGREEING WITH YOU.
SO, UH, CERTAINLY REQUIRES EXTRA FORETHOUGHT BECAUSE ROUNDABOUTS CAN BE, UM, CHALLENGING TO GET PEDESTRIANS THROUGH AND UNLESS
[01:25:01]
THEY'RE ENGINEERED APPROPRIATELY.SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT WE'LL AT LEAST BE TRYING FOR THE DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, ALL THE POSTS.
[22. (First Reading) An Ordinance of the City of Kyle, Texas, Ordering a General Election to be Held Jointly with Hays County on November 2, 2021, for the Election of City Council Place Five and Place Six to Serve Three-Year Terms. ~ Travis Mitchell, Mayor]
FIRST REAGAN ORDINANCE OF CITY OF KYLE, TEXAS ORDERING A GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD, UH, JOINTLY WITH HAYES COUNTY ON NOVEMBER 2ND, 2021 FOR THE ELECTION OF CITY COUNCIL PLACE FIVE AND PLAY SIX TO SERVE THREE-YEAR TERMS IS MY ITEM.IT'S STATUTORILY REQUIRED THAT WE APPROVE THIS.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE CHANGE IN LAWS, UH, HAYES COUNTY IS GOING TO HAVE A LOT MORE OF THE CONTROL OVER HOW MANY AND WHERE OUR, UM, POLLING SITES WILL BE, BUT THAT THERE'S A PROCESS IN PLACE.
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE A PART OF THAT PROCESS.
I THINK MAYBE LAST YEAR WE WEREN'T UNTIL LATER.
AND SO WE WERE TRYING TO GET POLLING PLACES ADDED WHEN WE REALIZED THAT THE COUNTY HADN'T ALLOCATED ENOUGH.
UH, SO I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT DECISION WILL BE MADE AS FAR AS PULLING LOCATIONS, BUT MAYBE JUST SENDING AN EMAIL SO THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN KNOW TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PRESENT TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
IT SEEMS LIKE WE ALWAYS, EVERY SINGLE YEAR WE DO IT BACKWARDS, THE PLACES GET DESIGNATED.
AND THEN, AND THEN WE REALIZED THAT IT'S NOT WHAT WE WANT.
WE HAVE TO GO BACK, WHICH WE CAN DO.
BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THE LOCATIONS AND WHEN THE COUNTY MEETS TO DISCUSS WHAT THAT FORMAT IS? JENNIFER? I DON'T, BUT I'LL REACH OUT AND ASK.
I HAVE TESTIFIED IN THE PAST, UM, AT THAT MEETING.
AND SO I'LL BE AVAILABLE TO DO SO AGAIN, IF YOU CAN JUST LET US KNOW WHEN IT IS WHENEVER YOU GET THAT FIGURED OUT.
SO I MOVED TO APPROVE SECOND MOVE BY MAYOR SECOND AND BY CUSTOMER FORCE KALE, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
IF THERE'S ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT BEING FINALLY PASSED, ITEM IS FINALLY PASSED.

[23. Discussion regarding Public Safety Center. ~ Yvonne Flores-Cale, Council Member]
DISCUSSION REGARDING PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER, COUNCILOR FLOOR SCALE.UM, W I JUST WANTED TO DISCUSS, UH, ABOUT THE LAYOUT OF THE PLANS AND THE IDEAS AND MOVING FORWARD AND, UM, MAYBE WHAT THE RESIDENTS CAN EXPECT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEBODY FROM THE TASK FORCE WANTS TO DISCUSS THAT IS RESERVOIR OTHERS, DECKS, HORSE COACH.
WHAT, WHAT, WHAT ARE YOU ASKING? I'M SORRY, ASK YOU FOR AN UPDATE.
I KNOW THERE'S A GROUNDBREAKING, UH, I THINK, UH, SAMANTHA AND SCOTT ARE, UH, HANDLING THE, THE DETAILS FOR THAT SAMANTHA
[01:30:02]
SHE'S.I THINK SHE'S DOING A BREAK BACK, UM, UM, PUTTING STUFF AWAY.
SAMANTHA ARMBRUSTER DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS.
UH, THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT OUR GROUNDBREAKING EVENT.
SO IT IS SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH.
IT'LL RUN FROM ABOUT 10:00 AM.
WE'RE ANTICIPATING ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF.
SO PROBABLY 1130 FOR AN IN TIME ON THAT WORKING WITH CAPTAIN AND CHIEF IN, IN THE PROGRAMMING.
SO A LOT OF DETAILS TO BE TWO ARE STILL IN THE WORKS, BUT A PROGRAM LIKE YOU'VE SEEN AT THE OTHERS WHERE THERE WILL BE SPEAKERS, UH, ENTERTAINMENT, COMMEMORATIVE ITEMS, AND FUN.
SCOTT, CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THE PLANS AND WHEN WE CAN BE LOOKING TO APPROVE THEM? YES, MA'AM.
SO BARTLETT COCKE IS THE CONTRACTOR WHO IS WORKING ON FINALIZING THE GMP, WHICH IS THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE THAT COMES ONCE WE RECEIVE THE 100% CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, UH, WHICH WE JUST RECEIVED THIS LAST WEEK OR MAYBE WEEK AND A HALF AGO.
SO, UH, THOSE PLANS ARE VERY FRESH.
NOW, BARTLETT COCKE HAS TAKEN THOSE, WORKING WITH THE SUBS, FINALIZING THAT GMP, UH, GETTING FINAL BIDS ON, ON MATERIALS TO GET THE MOST UPDATED PRICING.
THEY EXPECT TO HAVE EVERYTHING READY TO GO FOR THAT GMP, ROUGHLY THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST, UH, THAT'LL COME TO THE TASK FORCE, COME TO THE COUNCIL.
IT WILL COME PUBLICLY FOR ABOUT THE FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER, WHICH IS THE SEVENTH.
AND THEN, SO THAT'LL BE THE GMP.
IT'LL ALSO BE THE APPROVAL OF THE PLANS THAT A HUNDRED PERCENT CD SET, AND THEN AS WELL AS THE NOTICE TO PROCEED, WHICH THEN AUTHORIZES THE CONTRACT AND MOVE FORWARD WITH GROUNDBREAKING.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL? IT'S YOUR SHOW? IT'S YOUR ITEM? SO I'M TRYING TO, OKAY.
UM, I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WERE GOING TO TAKE A VOTE ON ANYTHING OR NOT.
I THINK THERE WAS SOME QUESTION REGARDING, UM, HOW MUCH ROOM AND SPACE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER AND THEN, UM, A DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF SPACE FOR, UM, ADMIN THAT MAY BE GOING IN THERE OR WILL BE GOING IN THERE, I SHOULD SAY.
SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANTED TO VOTE ON, IF, IF THE DESIRES TAKE A FORMAL VOTE, ALLOCATING OUT THE SPACES, WHICH AS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED, UH, NOW IT'D BE A TIME THAT WE CAN DO THAT.
WE CAN DO IT AT THE NEXT MEETING.
UH, THE GENERAL LAYOUT IS 44,000 SQUARE FEET FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER, UH, ROUGHLY 20,000 SUPPORT AT THE PUBLIC SQUARE FEET FOR, UH, ANCILLARY SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER.
UM, UM, THE 44,000 SQUARE FEET WOULD BE UNDER THE DIRECT CONTROL OF THE PD.
THE 20,000 SQUARE FEET WOULD BE UNDER CONTROL OF CITY MANAGER AND ADMINISTRATION.
UM, THE THINKING THERE WOULD BE, UH, OVER THE COURSE OF 20 YEARS, UH, BOTH OF THOSE SIDES PROBABLY FILL UP AND THEN EVENTUALLY THE POLICE STATION WOULD BE ABLE TO, UH, ASSUME THE ENTIRE SPACE.
SO ALL OF THE DESIGN, I BELIEVE, HAS BEEN SORT OF PREPARED WITH THAT REALITY.
SO, BUT AS FAR AS TAKING A FORMAL BOAT TO CODIFY THAT I CAN, UH, MAKE A MOTION, UH, TO GIVE DIRECTION FOR TWO STAFF TO CONTINUE ON, UH, WITH THE PLANS HAVE BEEN PRESENTING THAT DEDICATING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AS I'VE OUTLINED SECOND PART TO MOVE ON MAYOR AND SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM THIRD DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION.
SO A THIRD OF THE BUILDING IS GOING TO BE USED BY ADMIN IN THE, IN THIS, FROM THE CITY.
I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THE 30TH, THE THIRD.
AND DO WE KNOW FOR SURE WHICH EDMOND'S GOING TO BE THERE? I BELIEVE WE'RE STILL DISCUSSING THAT.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE I TRYING TO MAKE SURE.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
MOTION CARRIES SEVEN TO ZERO MOTION TO ADJOURN.
NOW WE HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION THAT WE WOULD LIKE ACTION ON.
GENERALLY HE NEEDS TO RECUSE HIMSELF.
SO YOU WERE JUST, THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS.
