[II) Approval of Minutes]

[III) Citizen Comment Period with Planning & Zoning Commission ]

SPEAKERS ARE PROVIDED WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK DURING THIS TIME PERIOD ON ANY AGENDA ITEM OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING CITY BUSINESS, AND THEY MUST OBSERVE THE THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT. SO AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE CITIZEN COMMENTS. CHAIR I DID GET TWO EMAILS REGARDING SIX CREEKS, SO IF IT'S OKAY, I'LL GO AHEAD AND READ THOSE IN TO THE RECORD. SURE. THANK YOU.

THE FIRST ONE IS FROM OLLIE. IT SAYS, HI, MELISSA, STEVE, JACOB, SARA, ALL OF US APPROVING ADDITIONAL SEGMENTS OF THE SIX CREEK DEVELOPMENTS THREATENS OUR WATER QUALITY, WATER AVAILABILITY, AND FLOOD RESISTANCE DOWNSTREAM ON THE BLANCO. THIS PROPOSAL IS AN ARTESIAN AND RECHARGE ZONES OF THE EDWARDS AQUIFER RECHARGE ZONE. RECHARGE ZONE PER TSK. THE RECHARGE ZONE OF AN AQUIFER IS THE AREA WHERE GEOLOGICAL LAYERS OF THE AQUIFER ARE EXPOSED TO THE SURFACE, AND WATER INFILTRATION INFILTRATES INTO THE AQUIFER THROUGH CRACKS, FISSURES, CAVES, AND OTHER OPENINGS THROUGHOUT THE LAYERS. THESE LAYERS. IN THIS ZONE, CONTAMINANTS OF SURFACE WATER CAN READILY ENTER THE AQUIFER. WHERE CAN I FIND A COPY OF THE SIX CREEKS EDWARDS AQUIFER PROTECTION PLAN ERP FOR THE PROPERTIES 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 B OF SIX CREEKS. THE GREATER EDWARDS AQUIFER ALLIANCE RECOMMENDS THE IMPERVIOUS COVER LIMIT OF 10% OF THE NET AREA IN THE RECHARGE ZONE. ALL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE BAD FOR WATER QUALITY AND BAD FOR FLOODING, AND ESPECIALLY SECTIONS 11, 15 AND 17 COULD NOT FIND ANY MAPS TO VERIFY LOCATION OF A10B. PLEASE VOTE TO DECLINE ITEMS THREE AND FOUR, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE THE DIRECTION ON WHERE I CAN ACCESS THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND EDWARDS OFFER PROTECTION PLAN FOR THESE PROPOSALS. HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR DILIGENT SERVICE. ALI. HE'S A CERTIFIED NATURAL NATURALIST, CERTIFIED TEXAS WATER SPECIALIST. AND THEN I HAVE ANOTHER ONE IF. OKAY, I'LL READ INTO THE RECORD. IT'S FROM A STEWART ROBERTSON. DEAR MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AS A HOMEOWNER IN KYLE, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DECLINE THE PROPOSED ADDITIONAL SEGMENTS OF SIX CREEKS DEVELOPMENT. THE AREA LIES WITHIN THE ARTESIAN AND RECHARGE ZONES OF THE EDWARDS AQUIFER, MAKING IT HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO CONTAMINATION AND POSING SIGNIFICANT RISKS TO WATER QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY.

MOREOVER, THE RECHARGE ZONE IS DEFINED BY. THE TCAC ALLOWS CONTAMINANTS TO DIRECTLY INFILTRATE THE AQUIFER, THREATENING THIS CRITICAL WATER RESOURCE. THE PROPOSED

[00:05:02]

[IV) Consent Agenda]

OKAY. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO PULL NUMBER TWO FOR DISCUSSION AND A MOTION TO APPROVE THREE AND FOUR FROM COMMISSIONER STEAGALL. IS THERE A SECOND ON THAT? I'LL SECOND THAT, SIR.

DELORY OKAY. THANK YOU. SO I GUESS FIRST LET'S HAVE THE DISCUSSION ON TWO. JUST GO IN NUMERICAL ORDER IF THAT'S OKAY. TYPICALLY WE VOTE ON THE ONES THAT ARE PULLED FROM CONSENT FIRST AND THEN WE DISCUSS THE OTHERS. OKAY. NEVER MIND. AND THEN DISCUSS TWO OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THREE AND FOUR. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION.

THIS IS THE SIX CREEKS PLATS. OKAY I DO HAVE QUESTIONS JUST BASED ON THE CITIZEN COMMENTS THAT CAME IN. SO I BELIEVE THAT KAYLA, THOSE WOULD GO TO YOU. AND WELL, I GUESS YOU AND JASON, YOU EACH HAVE ONE. SO THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AQUIFER AND THE EFFECT ON WATER QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY, I THINK THOSE ARE INTERESTING QUESTIONS, AND I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM STAFF ABOUT HOW THOSE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY CAN FIND THESE RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED.

BECAUSE IF WE'VE HAD A CERTIFIED TEXAS WATER SPECIALIST WHO WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE INFORMATION TO GET CLEAR ON, YOU KNOW WHY THIS IS OKAY, I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE THAT MORE READILY AVAILABLE. WELL, I THINK THE FIRST ISSUE WOULD BE JUST TO ADDRESS THE FACT. I THINK THE STATEMENT WAS THAT THESE WERE OVER THE RECHARGE ZONE. SO THERE'S TCU HAS SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE THAT GOVERN THAT RECHARGE ZONE. I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT NO SECTION OF THESE PLOTS ARE OVER THE EDWARDS AQUIFER RECHARGE ZONE. THEY ARE OVER A CONTRIBUTING ZONE. BUT THOSE HAVE MUCH LESS STRINGENT REGULATIONS. SO WE HAVE REVIEWED THESE FROM A FLOODPLAIN PERSPECTIVE, ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE. THAT IS SOMETHING THEY LOOK AT AS PART OF THEIR REVIEW. SO I CAN'T ANSWER WHERE TO FIND ONE OF THOSE DOCUMENTS.

I MEAN, WE CAN LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK WITH THEM AND LET THEM KNOW. BUT FOR THIS, THESE TWO PLANS, THAT DOCUMENT WON'T EXIST BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT OVER THE RECHARGE ZONE. OKAY, SO SIX CREEKS NEVER HAD TO DO LIKE A WATER STUDY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. NO, NOT THAT I BELIEVE AS PART OF THEIR DA. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING AND READING THROUGH. BUT THIS WAS PERMITTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO, SO WATER AVAILABILITY AT THE TIME WAS WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SCENARIO THAN WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT TODAY. BUT THEY WERE PROMISED THAT AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH WITH APPROVAL OF THAT. BUT AGAIN, IT WAS NOT OVER THE RECHARGE ZONE OKAY. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE PLATS FOR SIX CREEKS, SECTION 11, 15, 16, 17 AND 18 B, PLEASE SAY I. I OKAY ALL OPPOSED. SAY NAY. NAY. MOTION

[2) Consider approval of a replat of Lot 1, Block HH of the Porter Country Phase 1 Subdivision, located at the northwest corner of Pale Horse Bend and Marsh Lane. (SUB-24-0347)]

[00:10:02]

HERE WE GO. OKAY. SO TONIGHT WE'RE CONSIDERING APPROVAL OF REPLAT OF LOT ONE BLOCK H.H. THIS IS PORTER COUNTRY PHASE ONE SUBDIVISION. IT'S GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF PALE HORSE BEND AND MARSH LANE. YOU CAN SEE THE PROJECT GENERAL LOCATION AREA MAP ON THE LEFT. THIS IS TOWARDS THE EXTENT OF OUR CITY LIMITS. AND THEN THE PROPOSED PLAT IS LOOKING TO SUBDIVIDE LOT ONE INTO TWO LOTS, LOT ONE B AND LOT ONE A. LOT ONE A IS THE PRIVATE AMENITY CENTER FOR PORTER COUNTRY. AND LOT ONE B IS THE PUBLIC PARK LOT. THIS WAS NEGOTIATED AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. SO THAT 3.29 ACRES AGAIN IT IS PUBLIC.

THEY WILL BE DEDICATING THAT TO THE CITY. WE'LL ACCEPT THAT VIA A SEPARATE DEED. THAT DEED WILL COVER OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE. THERE'S ALSO SOME PLOT NOTES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE DEEDS OF RECORD. AGAIN, THE CITY IS OWNING THIS, BUT IT IS MAINTAINED BY THE HOA AND THEY'RE SUBJECT TO ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATIONS TO OUR PARKS MAINTENANCE PLAN THAT THAT MAY BE ADOPTED. AGAIN. LOT ONE A IS 1.77 ACRES. THAT'S THE PRIVATE AMENITY LOT WATER SERVED BY GO FOR SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT AND WASTEWATER IS PROVIDED BY WINDY HILL UTILITY COMPANY. SO BEFORE YOU HAVE SOME OPTIONS, APPROVE AS REQUESTED, APPROVE WITH MODIFICATIONS OR DENY THE REQUEST AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUESTED REPLAT AS IT MEETS ALL STATE, COUNTY AND LOCAL REGULATIONS. SO, MR. SIEGEL, IF YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. YEAH, I'D LIKE TO JUST GET INTO THE DYNAMICS OF HOW THESE THINGS GET DONE. IT WAS DONE UNDER A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND NOW REALLY FAR INTO THE DEVELOPMENT, WE FIND THAT THEY WANT TO TAKE A PARCEL OF LAND, REPLAT IT AND SPLIT OFF THAT AMOUNT OF LAND, 1.77 ACRES FOR A PRIVATE AMENITY LOT, 3.29 FOR A PUBLIC PARK A LOT. WOULD YOU HAVE ANY UNDERSTANDING WHETHER THERE WAS ANY ANYTHING IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WOULD SPECIFY THOSE PARCELS, THAT PARCEL, OR WHERE IT WOULD BE OR WHAT IT WOULD BE? GENERALLY THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS, WHEN THEY GET REVIEWED, HAVE AS PART OF OUR REVIEW PROCESS, THEY WILL IDENTIFY WHICH AREAS WOULD BE GIVEN PUBLIC PARKS, WHICH ONES WOULD BE DONATED OUTRIGHT, WHICH ONES WOULD BE HOA MAINTAINED. I DO NOT HAVE A BACKGROUND OR FAMILIARITY WITH THOSE CONVERSATIONS AS THEY TOOK PLACE, BUT GENERALLY THEY ARE SPELLED OUT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, IF NOT BY LETTER IN THE ACTUAL CODE SECTION. GENERALLY, THEY'RE ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT AS PART OF THAT DOCUMENT. SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE AS YOU GO THROUGH THE EXHIBIT, AND THERE'LL BE USUALLY A SECTION THAT SAYS PARK LAND DEDICATION. IT'LL GENERALLY TALK ABOUT FEES, WHAT THOSE FEES ARE, IF THEY'RE CURRENT OR DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENTLY ADOPTED, AND IF THERE'S ANY LOCATION, THEY WILL GENERALLY REFER BACK TO THIS CERTAIN EXHIBIT. YEAH. SO MY CONCERN WAS THIS, THAT HOWEVER IT GOT PARCELED OUT ORIGINALLY IT WAS A IT'S BEEN A DIVISION NOW IN THE PLAT. IT'S BEEN REPLANTED. WE ARE EVIDENTLY BY MY READING THIS THE LAST PARAGRAPH DRAINAGE AND GOING TO LOOK AT THE PROJECT MYSELF AS A PARKLAND. WE ARE INHERITING A DRAINAGE AREA. YES. SO THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT SWELL THAT RUNS BASICALLY NORTH SOUTH THROUGH THE PROPERTY. THE PROJECT, AS PART OF THE PRIVATE AMENITY. SENATOR PHIL, SORRY, SENATOR, FILLED OUT A SITE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION. WHEN WE REVIEWED THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL WALKWAYS TO HELP TRAVERSE AROUND THE PROPERTY. SO TO TAKE YOU FROM SOME OF THE ROADS, PALE HORSE DRIVE, THEY'LL LOOP AROUND ALL FOUR CORNERS AND THERE ARE SOME AMENITIES IN THERE. BUT IT IS IT IS MORE OF A NATURAL PASSIVE PARK. YEAH, I WISH I COULD ANSWER MORE ABOUT THE HOW AND WHEN AND WHY THAT WAS NEGOTIATED, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT AND I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT FROM YOU. BUT IN LOOKING AT IT, THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL REASONABLY GOOD SIZED CULVERTS THAT WOULD BE EMPTYING INTO THAT

[00:15:02]

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. NOW. THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT OR THE COMMISSION OR YOU, BUT I THINK THAT PERHAPS COUNCIL AND THE CITY MANAGEMENT MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THESE DAYS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING WHAT, WHAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THE NEEDS OF OUR PUBLIC. WE HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW PUBLIC PARKS DIRECTOR HERE, REALLY DYNAMIC. I'M SURE HE WOULD MAKE USE OF ANY GOOD SPACE. WE'VE GOT A GOOD PLANNER THERE WORKING WITH THEM NOW. I'M SURE THAT HE COULD HELP MAKE USE OF THIS, BUT IF IT WERE AN APPROPRIATE PARCEL OF LAND AND I'M NOT SURE THAT IT IS. SO THAT'S MY CONCERN. THAT'S MY QUESTION. AND I WANTED THIS TO BE THESE COMMENTS TO BE MADE PUBLIC FOR OTHERS TO LISTEN TO. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS AND YOUR ASKING ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS. YES, SIR. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ABOUT THIS? OKAY. WE WOULD NEED A MOTION TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS ITEM. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER TWO ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER TWO FROM COMMISSIONER SORRENTO AND A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER WEBB. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE, I OH, I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT TO ASK FOR DISCUSSION. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL OPPOSED? PLEASE SAY NAY.

ABSTAIN. ABSTAIN. OKAY, SO THE MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. ALL RIGHT.

[5) Consider approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a fast-food restaurant located at 19524 S IH-35. (Slim Chickens – CUP-24-0117)]

[00:20:03]

AND OUR SECOND IS COMING FROM COMMISSIONER STIEGEL. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE, AYE. ALL OPPOSED? SAY NAY. OKAY. MOTION PASSES.

[6) Consider nominations and hold an election to fill the Vice Chair vacancy.]

CONSIDER NOMINATIONS AND HOLD AN ELECTION TO FILL THE VICE CHAIR VACANCY, MR. LUTZ.

OKAY, PRETTY SIMPLE ITEM TONIGH. WE HAVE TO CONSIDER NOMINATIONS AND HOLD AN ELECTION. WE DO HAVE A VICE CHAIR VACANCY, AND THE CITY CHARTER REQUIRES US TO HAVE A VICE CHAIR ON THIS BOARD. SO, VICE CHAIRPERSON TRACY SCHEEL RESIGNED HER POSITION ON DECEMBER IN DECEMBER OF 2024. SO CANDIDATES TO REPLACE THE CHAIR POSITION NEED TO BE NOMINATED AND ELECTED. AND THEN YOU GUYS WILL HOLD YOUR VOTE. THE CURRENT CHAIRPERSON MUST BE OPEN, MUST OPEN THE NOMINATION. SO, MISS DUNCAN, IF YOU CAN DO THAT, AND THEN WE WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE A VOTE ON THOSE THAT THAT ARE CHOSEN. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THE CITY ATTORNEY CAN ANSWER THOSE. OKAY. NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN. I NOMINATE MYSELF FOR THE POST OKAY. ANY OTHERS? ALSO NOMINATE MYSELF OKAY. WE'VE GOT STEEL COMMISSIONER, STEEL AND COMMISSIONER SERATO NOMINATING. I FORGET WE NEED SECONDS FOR THESE. RIGHT OR. NO. NO. IF THERE'S ONLY IF THERE'S NOT OR IF THERE'S MORE THAN ONE NOMINATION, THEN WE'LL VOTE ON THE TWO NOMINATIONS. OKAY. CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION BEFORE WE VOTE? WHAT ARE WHAT ALL DO THE DUTIES OF VICE CHAIR ENTAIL, OTHER THAN RUNNING THE MEETINGS ON THE VICE CHAIR SERVES IN THE ABSENCE OF THE CHAIR. SO IF THE CHAIR IS NOT HERE AT THE MEETING, THE VICE CHAIR WILL SERVE AS THE CHAIR. IF THE CHAIRS STAY OUT OF TOWN AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT NEED TO BE SIGNED, THE VICE CHAIR WILL DO THAT. GOTCHA. NOTHING ADDITIONAL. THAT'S IT. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO I GUESS WE'LL HAVE A VOTE IF YOU COULD DO A ROLL CALL. DELORY. WELL, WHICH ONE ARE WE VOTING ON? SAY THE NAME OF THE ONE YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR. OH, OKAY. THERE'S TWO OPTIONS. THE LAW IS NOT ON DELORY. YEP, YEP. I'M HERE.

COMMISSIONER STIEGEL. SORRY, DANIEL. WEBB. COMMISSIONER SERATO STIEGEL STIEGEL. ONCKEN.

STIEGEL. SERATO. SERATO. OKAY, SO CONGRATULATIONS, COMMISSIONER STIEGEL, YOU ARE OUR NEW VICE CHAIR FOR PNC. THANK YOU ALL. OKAY. EVERYONE'S GREAT THOUGH. WE LOVE EVERYONE. OKAY, THAT

[7) Staff report to the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the following items:   1. 2025 National Planning Conference (Denver Colorado). 2. Planning Department Personnel Changes. 3. Recognition of Will Atkinson for his years of service to the Planning Department. 4. Pro-Source appeal.  ]

AND I WANT TO DISCUSS PLANNING DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL CHANGES AND THEN RECOGNIZE WILL ATKINSON FOR HIS YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. AND THEN I LEFT ONE OFF ON THIS POWERPOINT I THOUGHT I UPDATED. WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE PROSOURCE APPEAL REGARDING THE DECISION THAT YOU ALL RENDERED BACK IN DECEMBER. SO WE'LL START WITH THE NATIONAL PLANNING CONFERENCE. SO THAT IS MARCH 29TH THROUGH APRIL 1ST. ARE THE CONFERENCE DATES. PLEASE COORDINATE WITH KAYLA IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE ATTENDING THAT. SHE CAN RESERVE THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF ROOMS. SHE DID SEND OUT A SURVEY, SO ANY DELAY ON THAT COULD AFFECT THE QUALITY OF YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS. SO DON'T DON'T HESITATE NO LATER THAN JANUARY 24TH IF POSSIBLE. THEY DO OPEN UP THIS WEEK. SO TAKE A

[00:25:06]

AND PLEASE LET HER KNOW. THOSE WILL WILL GENERALLY GO PRETTY QUICK ON THOSE TICKETS. AND THEN CONSIDER WHAT DAYS YOU WANT TO LEAVE RETURN. SOME OF US MAY BE GOING THE NIGHT BEFORE STAYING THE DAY AFTER. WE'RE STILL WORKING THAT OUT. SO JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET KAYLA EVERYTHING YOU NEED AND SHE WILL GET YOU GUYS SQUARED AWAY. THE NEXT ONE IS SOME PERSONNEL CHANGES IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. SO AS YOU RECALL, GIS USED TO BE HOUSED UNDER PLANNING. THEY HAVE SINCE MOVED OVER TO IT. THEY'RE IN THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT. WE STILL MAINTAIN A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP, STEVE. AND GIS IS A VERY BIG PART OF WHAT WE DO. SO IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT FORMAT, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT STRUCTURE. SO IF YOU COME BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT EXPECTING TO SEE HIM, HE'S NOT THERE. HE'S ACTUALLY AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER NOW DOWNSTAIRS. AND THEN MR. ATKINSON, WHO HAS LED THIS DEPARTMENT FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, HAS TAKEN ON A POSITION WITH THE CITY'S PARKS. HE IS THE NEW PARKS PLANNING PROJECT MANAGER. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. ATKINSON. AND THEN IN THE INTERIM, I WILL BE ASSUMING SOME OF WILL'S RESPONSIBILITIES UNTIL WE FILL THAT POSITION ON, ON A PERMANENT BASIS. SO THAT'S KIND OF SOME OF THE CHANGES WE HAVE IN OUR DEPARTMENT. AND THEN TRANSITION INTO THAT. WE'D LIKE TO THANK WILL FOR HIS YEARS OF SERVICE. HE'S BEEN PART OF THE PLANNING TEAM SINCE JULY 2016, EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS IN THIS PLANNING DEPARTMENT. HE WAS PROMOTED TO SENIOR PLANNER IN 21, NAMED AN INTERIM DIRECTOR IN JUNE OF 22, AND THEN HE WAS OFFICIALLY THE DIRECTOR STARTING IN SEPTEMBER 22ND. HE HAS GUIDED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COMMUNITY FROM 39,000 TO 70 000 RESIDENTS. SO THAT IS A BIG CHANGE THAT HAS HAPPENED AS HE'S BEEN PART OF THIS TEAM. SO WE WANT TO THANK WILL FOR EVERYTHING HE'S DONE. I'D LIKE TO PERSONALLY THANK HIM FOR GIVING ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THIS, THIS GREAT COMMUNITY AND DEPARTMENT. SO WE JUST WANT TO WISH HIM GOOD LUCK ON HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS. SO THANK YOU WILL APPRECIATE IT. AND THEN I'VE GOT ONE MORE PROSOURCE APPEAL. SO COUNCIL CONSIDERED AN APPEAL BY THE PROSOURCE APPLICANT. SO YOU REMEMBER Y'ALL DENIED THE METAL DOORS. Y'ALL DID APPROVE SOME OF THE RELOCATION OF THE AWNING. SO COUNCIL DID APPROVE TO ALLOW THE METAL DOORS TO STAY. HOWEVER, THEY ADDED A COUPLE OF STIPULATIONS. ONE OF THEM WAS THAT THE BLUE STRIPE BE CONTINUED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BACK, AND THAT SOME ADDITIONAL AWNINGS THAT WERE ON THE BACK ORIGINALLY SHOWN BE ADDED BACK, SO STAFF IS CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THEM ON THEIR DESIGN TO TRY AND, YOU KNOW, SPRUCE UP THE BACKSIDE A LITTLE BIT. WE EXPECT WE'VE GOT SOMETHING IN FOR REVIEW THIS WEEK. WE'LL RENDER A DECISION. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN FINALIZE AND GET MOVING AND WRAP UP IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS OR SO, DEPENDING ON ON THAT. SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU ALL AN UPDATE ON THAT. OTHER THAN THAT, THAT IS ALL I HAVE. AND AGAIN APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WHICH BRINGS US TO OUR FINAL ITEM OF THE NIGHT ADJOURNING AS WE'VE COMPLETED ALL THE ITEMS ON THE MEETING'S AGENDA, THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS THAT WE CAN DISCUSS. SO WE ARE ADJOURNED AT
