Oct 04, 2022 Planning and Zoning Commission

[*This meeting was joined in progress*]

[00:00:28]

OKAY, I'VE GOT IT. OKAY.

I'VE GOT A FIRST AND I'VE GOT A SECOND.

SHELBY IS THE FIRST AND ELAINE WAS THE SECOND.

THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

THIS IS AN IN-PERSON MEETING.

IS THAT SOME FEEDBACK? NO. IF YOU'RE ONLINE, PLEASE MUTE.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM.

[ITEM 2: A2022-01 Commission to hold a public hearing, hear comments, and consider taking action to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding a request for voluntary annexation of an approximate 157.31 acres of land located within the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction into the corporate limits of the City of Decatur. The property to be annexed is generally located in the H.D. Donald Survey, Abstract No. 1158 and the John C. Logan Survey, Abstract No. 494, Wise County, Texas and generally located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 380 and Business U.S. 380, adjacent to the current city limits in Decatur’s eastern extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), Wise County, Texas, and being described by metes and bounds on the survey located at the Planning & Development Service Building, 1601 S. State St., Bldg. C, Decatur, Texas. (Annexation Application A2022-01— Mr. Sam Satterwhite, on behalf of property owners James Christopher Knapp, Darcy Lee Knapp Fricks and Shelly Lynn Knapp, Et al.)]

SO NOW THE PUBLIC HEARING IS GOING TO NOW BE OPENED AT 5:36.

DEDRA OR.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, WAYNE, GO RIGHT AHEAD.

THESE ALL CAME IN WHILE I WAS WORKING IN DEDRA'S PLACE.

AND SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT THEM.

OKAY. THAT WAY WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.

SO THIS IS A2022-01 ANNEXATION FOR A TRACT OF LAND GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF US HIGHWAY 380 AND BUSINESS U.S.

380 ADJACENT TO THE CURRENT CITY LIMITS OF DECATUR AND THE EASTERN EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION BEING DESCRIBED BY METES AND BOUNDS ON THE SURVEY.

IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT, THEY CAN GET WITH US TO SEE THAT.

SO THIS IS THE PALOMA TRAILS ANNEXATION THAT WE'RE REQUESTING.

SO DO WE NEED TO HANDLE THESE ONE AT A TIME AS FAR AS PUBLIC HEARINGS AND THEN MOVE FORWARD FROM THAT? OKAY. SO THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING WOULD BE FOR AN ANNEXATION.

SO WE WE'LL COVER ALL THREE, THE ANNEXATION, THE COMP PLAN AND THE PD DISTRICT THAT WILL BE COVERED IN THAT.

LAND USES THAT WERE EXTENDED TO THE ETJ WITH THE 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

CURRENTLY, THESE ARE THE ESTATE LIVING RURAL LIVING COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.

THE USE DESIGNATION BASED ON THE PROPERTIES, LOCATION SURROUNDING LAND USES OR AGRICULTURAL RURAL LIVING AN ESTATE LIVING.

AND SURROUNDING ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY IS TO THE NORTH IS ETJ.

SOUTH IS ETJ.

EAST IS ETJ.

WEST OF THE PROPERTY, IS LI AND SF-1 AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT BE DESIGNATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMMERCIAL SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

AND THIS REQUEST IS BEING PROPOSED CONCURRENTLY WITH THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION.

APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT MUST OCCUR BEFORE THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT MAY BE APPROVED.

BE DESIGNATED FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS AN ACTIVITY CENTER, THE PRIMARY LAND USE BEING RETAIL, COMMERCIAL APARTMENTS, OFFICES, HOTELS AND THE SECONDARY LAND USE, CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL USES.

ALONG WITH THE COMPACT NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY CAN SUPPORT A VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES PRIMARY LAND USE, SMALL LOT, SINGLE FAMILY, DETACHED PATIO HOMES AND TOWNHOMES, SECONDARY LAND USE, CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL USES.

[00:05:08]

WE HAVE AN ANNEXATION SCHEDULE THAT'S BEEN DEVELOPED FOR THIS PROPERTY THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF.

OF COURSE, THIS IS A FIRST STEP.

WE STOP PLANNING AND ZONING, GET A RECOMMENDATION TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL.

IT'LL MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE WITH SOME PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THAT.

THE EXISTING LAND USE MAPS FOR THIS AND THE PROPOSED LAND USE MAP.

EXHIBITS. AND THEN THE CURRENT AND PROPOSED ZONING MAPS.

AND THEN 39 PROPERTY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED FOR THE ANNEXATION COMP PLAN AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

WE RECEIVED TWO RESPONSES.

THEY WERE NEUTRAL TO ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS.

THERE WAS ONE CONCERN THAT WAS VOICED ON THERE, AND THAT WAS THAT OLD DENTON ROAD WOULD NEED SOME ATTENTION WITH THE INCREASED ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BE ON IT. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ANNEXATION, SERVICE ANALYSIS AND SERVICE PLAN.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU, WAYNE.

ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THESE? YES, SIR. IF YOU WOULD STEP UP TO THE MIC.

TELL US YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS.

NAME'S GARY [INAUDIBLE].

MY ADDRESS IS 402 WAGNER ROAD IN DECATUR, TEXAS 76234.

THANK YOU. IT'S AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO SPEAK FOR SUCH A PRIVILEGED GROUP.

MY CONCERN IS I THINK THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR DECATUR, THIS DEVELOPMENT.

I THINK IT'LL BE GOOD FOR THE TAX BASE, GOOD FOR THE CITY.

MY CONCERN IS, IS THE OLD DENTON ROAD ON THE SCALE OF TEN IS PROBABLY LESS THAN A TWO.

THE COUNTY ROAD IN FRONT OF IT, IN PART FRONT PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, THE COUNTY ROAD, BUT THE CITY ROAD IS TERRIBLE.

CECIL MIGHT HAVE SOME PROPERTY OVER IN THAT AREA THAT HE'S AWARE OF.

AND WITH 400 HOMES OR HOMEOWNERS GOING TO LIVE ON THIS PROPERTY, A LOT OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE TRAVELING IN THAT OLD DENTON ROAD.

IT'S A NARROW.

IT'S A BAD ROAD.

AND IF IT'S GOING TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THAT TRAFFIC, SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE DONE.

THE CURVE GOING AROUND PART OF IT IS GOING TO BE DANGEROUS FOR ALL THAT TRAFFIC ALSO.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT, ALTHOUGH I THINK IT'S GREAT FOR THE CITY.

BUT I'M REAL CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD, THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD RIGHT NOW WITH WHAT LITTLE TRAFFIC THERE IS, IT'S TERRIBLE, LET ALONE PUT 400 HOMEOWNERS ON THERE.

SO THAT'S MY CONCERN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR ATTENTION.

THANK YOU SIR. WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK? JUST TO CLARIFY ON THE RECORD, THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING ON A 2022-01 THE ANNEXATION.

COME ON UP. NAME AND ADDRESS.

SCOTT SHER 1642 OLD DENTON ROAD, IN DECATUR.

AND I JUST WANTED TO ME AND GARY ARE NEIGHBORS AND WE BOTH ARE THE ONES THAT WE FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY ABOUT.

WE WANT TO JUST EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS ABOUT THE ROAD AND THE TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BE ON THERE AND THE CONDITION THAT IT'S IN.

AND SAME THING, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S GREAT FOR THE CITY, ALTHOUGH I'LL HAVE 400 NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME, BUT IT'S GREAT FOR THE CITY.

SO BUT WE THINK THAT THE ROAD COULD USE SOME HELP.

THAT'S IT THANKS.

THANK YOU. NAME AND ADDRESS.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. MY NAME IS TODD WINTERS WITH ENGINEERING CONCEPTS AT 201 WINDCO CIRCLE IN WYLIE, TEXAS.

I REPRESENT THE KNAPP FAMILY WHO ARE THE CURRENT OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY.

AND WAYNE DID A GREAT JOB OF EXPLAINING THIS TO YOU.

I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF FILL IN SOME BLANKS FOR YOU TO GIVE YOU AN OVERALL VIEW.

I KNOW THIS ITEM IS ONLY FOR THE ANNEXATION, BUT CURRENTLY ABOUT EIGHT ACRES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

AND WE'RE ANNEXING 157 ACRES ADJACENT TO IT, WHICH GIVES US A TOTAL OF 165 ACRES.

[00:10:06]

WE HAVE ABOUT 2000 FOOT OF FRONTAGE ACROSS 380 THERE.

WE'LL HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES THERE FROM EVERYTHING FROM GROCERY STORES TO RESTAURANTS.

AND WE HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY ASPECT THAT KIND OF TRANSITIONS TO THAT.

AND WITH THE MULTIFAMILY FURTHER TO THE BACK, THE CONCERN I WANTED TO ADDRESS THERE, IF YOU CAN SEE THESE NORTH SOUTH COLLECTORS, THESE MINOR ARTERIALS THAT WE'RE SHOWING ON THERE. YEAH, IF YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THERE THE NORTH SOUTH THERE, THOSE ARE ON YOUR THOROUGHFARE PLAN IS 68 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY AND 37 FOOT OF PAVING. WE HAVE AGREED THROUGH, YOU KNOW, TALKING WITH YOUR STAFF AND BY THE WAY, THE STAFF AND FROM THE EDC TO WAYNE AND THE CITY ENGINEER OF EVERYONE HAS BEEN JUST AMAZING THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF THEIR IDEAS INTO THIS CONCEPT, SO THEY'VE BEEN VERY, VERY HELPFUL IN THIS.

AND ONE OF THOSE WERE TO MOVE THESE ARTERIALS COMPLETELY ONTO OUR PROPERTY.

SO NORMALLY WE WOULD DEDICATE HALF THE RIGHT OF WAY AND BUILD HALF THE ROAD.

BUT ON THESE TWO COLLECTORS WE THOUGHT OR MINOR ARTERIALS, WE THOUGHT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO MOVE TRAFFIC TO 380.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THE WHOLE 68 FEET ONTO OUR PROPERTY AND BUILD THE ENTIRE PAVING SECTION.

SO WE WEREN'T ABLE TO DO THAT ON OLD DENTON ROAD.

HOWEVER, ON OLD DENTON ROAD, WE ARE DEDICATING HALF THE RIGHT OF WAY AND BUILDING A 24 FOOT CONCRETE LANE THERE.

SO THAT WILL JUST BE THE LENGTH OF OUR PROPERTY AND THEN WE'LL TRANSITION BACK.

BUT THE SECTION THAT IS ADJACENT TO US WILL BE CONCRETE WITH AN EIGHT FOOT TRAIL AND LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING AND STUFF.

SO THAT SECTION THAT'S ADJACENT TO US WILL BE IMPROVED.

BUT I KNOW SOME OF THE CONCERNS ARE FURTHER, YOU KNOW, CLOSER TO THE TOWN AND THE CURVES THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT.

BUT WE WILL ADDRESS THAT.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE RED LINE KIND OF RUNNING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THIS.

THAT'S OUR PHASE LINE. SO WE'RE GOING TO BUILD THE WEST HALF OF THIS FIRST.

SO WE WILL BUILD THAT SECTION WITH THE FIRST PHASE OF THIS PROJECT.

SO JUST A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON TOO THAT WE ARE GIVING THE CITY A FIRE STATION LOCATION OUT HERE IS TO 2.3 ACRES, I BELIEVE, WHICH WE'VE KIND OF COORDINATED WITH THE CITY.

AND WE'RE ALSO GIVING THE CITY A WATER TOWER SITE BECAUSE WE ARE EXTENDING UTILITIES OUT HERE.

WE'RE EXTENDING A 16 INCH WATER LINE OUT FROM THE PARK THAT'S JUST TO THE WEST.

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SEWER OUT HERE, WHICH IS GOING TO HELP ALL THE PROPERTIES SURROUNDING THIS.

THIS IS THE NEW ETJ NOW.

SO EVERYTHING ADJACENT TO US OUT HERE NOW WILL HAVE WATER AND SEWER AS WELL.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN A NUTSHELL.

I DID WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE TRAILS AS WELL.

WE'RE CALLING THIS THE TRAILS IN THE TITLE, BECAUSE ANY HOUSE IN HERE WILL BE ABLE TO WALK THIS ENTIRE LOOP BECAUSE EACH ARTERIAL WILL HAVE AN EIGHT FOOT TRAIL WITH IT THAT WILL MAKE AN ENTIRE LOOP AROUND THIS THING.

WE HAVE KIND OF A DOG PARK UP IN THE FRONT, TOO, BUT WE HAVE I THINK IT'S 16, 15 OR 16 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE PARK.

SO IT'S TWO BIG GREEN AREAS YOU SEE THERE WHICH WILL BE PRIVATELY MAINTAINED AS WELL.

SO WE'VE TALKED WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT ABOUT THAT.

THEY WILL BE PUBLIC PARKS BUT MAINTAINED BY THE HOA.

SO I THINK THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU AN OVERVIEW, I KNOW THERE IS THREE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

BUT WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

OKAY. THANK YOU, TODD.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU. WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? OKAY. IF NONE, THEN WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING.

IT IS NOW 5:48.

COMMISSIONERS DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, FOR THE APPLICANTS? ANY CONCERNS? IS OLD DENTON ROAD CURRENTLY AT THAT AREA? IS IT CURRENTLY A CITY STREET OR A COUNTY ROAD? IS IT? CURRENTLY IT IS A COUNTY ROAD.

OKAY. THERE WILL BE AN ANNEXATION PETITION TO FOLLOW TO TO BRING THAT IN AS A CITY STREET.

OKAY. ARE THERE ANY BARRIERS BETWEEN THE BACKSIDE OF THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND THE RESIDENTIAL AREA? I REALIZE IT'S ACROSS THE STREET, BUT ARE THERE WALLS BEHIND THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS THERE THAT BREAKS THAT UP? SO THAT MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR TODD.

TODD, COULD YOU COME UP AND ADDRESS JOHN'S CONCERN.

YES, SIR. SO IF YOU CAN PUT THE DRAWING BACK UP.

SORRY ABOUT THAT. THERE'S EARL.

SO THERE IS AN EAST-WEST COLLECTOR THAT DIVIDES THE COMMERCIAL FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AND WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO DO.

AND YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE DASH RED LINE THERE ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT.

[00:15:06]

SO IT WILL PROTECT THAT, BUT IT'LL LEAVE THAT COLLECTOR OPEN BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TWO POINTS OF ACCESS ON 380, WE'RE GOING TO REQUEST WE HAVE A TRAFFIC STUDY THAT'S UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO REQUEST A THIRD ENTRY SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT COMMERCIAL.

BUT WE FEEL LIKE A LOT OF THESE PAD SITES, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME FROM EITHER ONE OF THESE TWO CONNECTIONS WE HAVE AND USE THAT COLLECTOR TO GET THERE.

SO WE'LL LEAVE THE COMMERCIAL OPEN AND WE'LL SCREEN THE RESIDENTIAL.

AND WE DO HAVE A LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR PACKET I BELIEVE THAT SHOWS WHERE WE'RE SCREENING EVERYTHING ON ALL THE ARTERIALS ALONG OLD DENTON ROAD.

ANYWHERE THAT THERE'S A HOUSE ADJACENT TO A COLLECTOR WE'RE SCREENING THAT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, AND EXCEPT ALONG THE PARKS, WE'RE DOING LIKE WROUGHT IRON FENCING THAT BACK UP TO THE PARKS.

SO THERE WILL BE SCREENING AROUND THIS ENTIRE PROJECT.

THANK YOU THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PAVE THIS CONCRETE.

ARE YOU? IS YOUR PLAN TO GIVE ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY TO OLD DENTON ROAD THERE OR JUST TO PAVE THE PART OF IT THAT ADJOINS.

WE'RE GOING TO DEDICATE 34 FEET OF RIGHT OF WAY AND BUILD 24 FEET OF PAVEMENT IN THAT.

OKAY. SO BUT YOU ARE DEDICATING THAT MUCH ADDITIONAL RIGHT AWAY TO WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.

THAT'S CORRECT. YES SIR. OKAY.

OKAY. IT'S BASED OFF THE CENTER LINE, BASICALLY BECAUSE IT'S PRESCRIPTIVE AND THEN THE CITY IS GOING TO COME BACK AND ANNEX MORE OF THAT TO HAVE THE WHOLE THING.

SO GOT IT.

THANKS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS CONCERNS.

OH, I GUESS I'M CONFUSED ABOUT DENTON ROAD.

SO BOTH MINOR ARTERIALS AND THE ONE THAT GOES EAST WEST IS YOU'RE DEDICATING ALL OF THE RIGHT AWAY, AND YOU'RE BUILDING BOTH SIDES, BOTH NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND AND OR EASTBOUND AND WESTBOUND IN BOTH CASES.

ON THE DENTON ROAD, YOU'RE ANNEXING ALL OF THE RIGHT OF WAY, BUT BUILDING HALF OF IT, IS THAT CORRECT? IS THAT WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING? YEAH. SCROLL DOWN IF YOU COULD SCROLL DOWN.

SO. CURRENTLY, THIS IS ONLY ANNEXED HALF.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO HOW DOES THE AS FAR AS THE ROAD THAT GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO DECATUR, WHICH IS WAS GARY'S AND SCOTT'S CONCERNS? HOW DO WE ANNEX THAT? I MEAN, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING THAT WE WOULD DO AT SOME POINT, ANNEX THAT AS A CITY ROAD? OH, OKAY. THAT'S ALREADY CITY STREET.

OKAY. THAT'S WHAT OKAY.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS WANTING TO MAKE SURE.

ANYTHING FROM RIGHT HERE OKAY. BUT ANYTHING FROM HERE BACK IS ALREADY ANNEXED.

THAT IS IN THE CITY LIMITS.SO WHAT WOULD BE THE PROCESS BY WHICH THE CITY PUBLIC WORKS LOOKS TO IMPROVE THAT STREET TO TO STUDY ITS SAFETY TO, YOU KNOW, DO A STUDY ON THE COST OF IMPROVING THAT STREET ALL THE WAY BACK TO DECATUR.

WHAT'S THAT PROCESS? I'M GOING TO DEFER TO EARL ON THIS.

OKAY. THIS IS OUR CITY ENGINEER.

HELLO, EARL. GOOD EVENING.

SO OLD DENTON ROAD DOES APPEAR ON THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN AS A MINOR ARTERIAL ALSO OKAY.

SO IT WOULD JUST IT'S JUST A MATTER OF MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT WE NEED FOR THAT AND THE MINOR ARTERIAL RIGHT OF WAY 68 FEET THE CITY WE WOULD HAVE TO STUDY IT TO SEE IF THAT RIGHT OF WAY EXIST AND THAT WE'D HAVE TO ACQUIRE IT.

AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO FUND `THE PROJECT TO BUILD IT.

SO IN THE MEANTIME, I THINK PUBLIC WORKS WOULD CONSIDER IMPROVING THE ROAD, AT LEAST PAVING IT AND MAKING IT A GOOD ROAD.

THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT MR. WINTERS MENTIONED WILL KIND OF PREDICT HOW THE TRAFFIC WILL KIND OF SPLIT TO GET INTO THE SUBDIVISION.

SO SOME OF IT MAYBE A LOT OF IT COMES DOWN OLD DENTON ROAD, BUT OTHER TRAFFIC WILL COME AND COME IN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROJECT.

SO I GUESS, WILL, THERE'S NOT A REAL CLEAN ANSWER TO WHAT DO WE DO TO IMPROVE OLD DENTON ROAD

[00:20:07]

AND IT WILL HAVE TO COMPETE WITH OTHER PRIORITIES THAT THE CITY HAS TO DEAL WITH.

EARL, WHAT ABOUT THE SMALL SECTION THAT APPEARS TO BE COUNTY ROAD? I BELIEVE IT'S IN FRONT OF SCOTT'S BUSINESS OUT THERE.

THE LITTLE SECTION BETWEEN THEIR PROPOSED ROADWAY AND THE EXISTING CITY.

YES, RIGHT THERE. [INAUDIBLE] WELL, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE MUCH DIFFICULTY.

THAT'S DOWN AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THIS PROPERTY.

I DON'T THINK WE WOULD HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY WORKING WITH THE COUNTY TO GET PERMISSION TO WORK ON THAT PIECE OF THE STREET.

AND MAYBE AS WE WORK THROUGH THE ANNEXATION ON OLD DENTON ROAD ADJACENT TO THIS PROJECT, WE GO AHEAD AND TRY TO ANNEX THAT PIECE OF ROAD FROM THE COUNTY TOO. SO I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE OF OPTIONS THERE THAT WOULD BE SATISFACTORY.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, I CAN'T THINK OF ANOTHER SITUATION IN DECATUR WHERE WE'VE HAD SUCH A LARGE DEVELOPMENT THAT REQUIRES SUCH A LARGE EXTENT OF ROADWAY THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE IMPROVED TO GET TO IT.

IS THERE SUCH AN EXAMPLE THAT YOU CAN THINK OF EARL THAT WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS BEFORE AND SUCCESSFULLY IMPROVED A ROADWAY LIKE THIS, OR IS THIS THE FIRST OF ITS TYPE, REALLY? I DON'T THINK THERE'S BEEN ANY PROJECTS OF THIS MAGNITUDE.

RIGHT. THE ONE PROJECT I CAN THINK OF WOULD BE [INAUDIBLE] OR THE BRIAR CROSSING.

THERE WAS SOME WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO IMPROVE PRESKITT ROAD TO, OF COURSE, THAT WAS A MUCH BIGGER PROJECT BY THE COUNTY TOO.

PRESKITT ROAD WAS IMPROVED TO GET TO BRIAR CROSSING BUT NOTHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE.

THANK YOU EARL. THE ONLY OTHER COMMENTS I HAVE IS THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE SOMEONE LOOK TO DEVELOP THIS SIDE OF DECATUR, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF ITS INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOUSING AND THE FACT THAT THEY ARE LOOKING TO BUILD ARTERIAL ROADS AND DEDICATE SO MUCH RIGHT AWAY, DEDICATE LAND FOR WATER TOWER USAGE AND DEDICATE LAND FOR FIRE STATION.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S FANTASTIC FOR THE CITY OF DECATUR AND THAT'S JUST A COMMENT I'LL THROW OUT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST I MEAN, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE CONCERNS THAT THE TWO GENTLEMEN HAVE BROUGHT ARE EXTREMELY VALID.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THAT OLD DECATUR ROAD BACK THERE.

BUT THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE, I WOULD ECHO THOSE CONCERNS.

SO. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE. OKAY.

IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AN A SECOND TO APPROVE OR DENY .

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ANNEXATION.

BECAUSE WE'RE TAKING THESE ONE AT A TIME, CORRECT? AND I WILL, I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

THE ANNEXATION.

OKAY I GOT WILL KLOSE MAKING THE MOTION.

I'VE GOT MASON WOODRUFF DOING THE SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

OKAY. ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR THE SECOND ONE.

WE HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS ON EACH ONE OF THESE.

SO HE DID THE STAFF REPORTS COMBINED.

BUT YOU NEED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARINGS ON EACH ONE OF THEM SEPARATELY.

WE ONLY OPENED THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING.

BUT THE FIRST ONE, THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING WAS TWO, THREE AND FOUR.

THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING WAS ITEM NUMBER 2 A2201.

SO THE PUBLIC HEARINGS NEED TO BE SEPARATE.

SO WE'VE GOT NOW THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING AND.

GOT YA. OKAY.

WE NEED TO OPEN THAT. ALL RIGHT WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK INTO A PUBLIC HEARING.

THE TIME NOW IS 6:00.

WAYNE ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[ITEM 3: CP2022-02 Commission to hold a public hearing, hear comments, and consider taking action to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding an amendment to Appendix “D,” “Comprehensive Plan,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Decatur, Texas, to amend the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map of the City, for an approximate 165.51 acres of land, most of which is currently in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City, but for which the property owner has requested annexation into the City’s corporate limits, to change the designation on the property from Agricultural and Rural Living (AR - ETJ), Estate Living (EL - ETJ), Community Commercial (CC - ETJ), Compact Neighborhood (CN - ETJ) and Traditional Neighborhood (TN - ETJ) to a Compact Neighborhood (CN) and Activity Center (AC) Land Use Designations. The property to be annexed is generally located in the H.D. Donald Survey, Abstract No. 1158 and the John C. Logan Survey, Abstract No. 494, Wise County, Texas and generally located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 380 and Business U.S. 380, adjacent to the current city limits in Decatur’s eastern extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), Wise County, Texas, and being described by metes and bounds on the survey located at the Planning & Development Service Building, 1601 S. State St., Bldg. C, Decatur, Texas. The Commission recommendation for this item is subject to the City Council’s approval of the request for annexation. (Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application 2022-02— Mr. Sam Satterwhite, on behalf of property owners James Christopher Knapp, Darcy Lee Knapp Fricks and Shelly Lynn Knapp, Et al.)]

AND SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF OPENING IT UP FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING, FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WOULD BE ON THAT.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? [LAUGHTER] AGAIN, I'M FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. IT'S GREAT FOR DECATUR.

[00:25:03]

GARY COPENHAUER 402 WAGNER DECATUR TEXAS 76234.

BORN EIGHTH AND SIXTH OF 1955.

[LAUGHTER] I'M FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE CITY HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE STREETS THAT LEAD TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THEY'RE NOT ADEQUATE TO HANDLE THE TRAFFIC.

AND IN ADDITION TO WHAT I EARLIER SAID, YOU ALSO HAVE TO CROSS A RAILROAD TRACK TO GET THERE AND TO GET BACK.

AND THAT'S A CONCERN, A SAFETY CONCERN.

AND THE CROSSING DOWN THERE, WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EVENING, JUST DRIVE OUT ON THAT ROAD, JUST DRIVE OUT TO THAT DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S NOT A HALF MILE FROM HERE.

CROSS THOSE RAILROAD TRACKS IN YOUR VEHICLE, BUT BUCKLE UP BEFORE YOU GO OVER THEM AND BUCKLE UP BEFORE YOU GO DOWN THAT ROAD BECAUSE IT'S BAD AND YOU PUT 400 HOMES AND THE PEOPLE DRIVING IN AND OUT OF 400 HOMES.

AND I KNOW A LOT OF THEM ARE GOING TO GO OUT ON THE DENTON ROAD ON THAT DENTON HIGHWAY.

BUT A LOT OF THAT TRAFFIC IS STILL GOING TO GO THERE.

AND IT'S SOMETHING MUST BE DONE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE UP AND DOWN THE ROAD AND THAT LIVE THERE.

THAT'S MY CONCERN.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE, TODD? NAME AND ADDRESS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

TODD WINTERS ENGINEERING CONCEPTS 201 WINDCO CIRCLE IN WYLIE, TEXAS.

I DID WANT TO ADDRESS GARY'S CONCERN AND JUST KIND OF PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE AS TIMING WISE, I GUESS, IS WHAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT.

SO THIS IS THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2022.

WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE ANNEXATION PROCESS AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TURN IN THE PRELIMINARY PLAT TOMORROW, START THE PRELIMINARY PLAT PROCESS.

THEN WE HAVE TO START THE ENGINEERING AND THEN WE HAVE TO GET AN ENGINEERING APPROVAL THROUGH THE CITY.

THEN WE HAVE TO HIRE CONTRACTORS AND BUILD THIS THING.

SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUT 400 HOMES OUT THERE NEXT YEAR.

WE'RE GOING TO START THE CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR SOMETIME.

IT TAKES US A YEAR TO BUILD IT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF OFFSITE TO DO, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL OF 2023 TO BUILD THE SUBDIVISION.

THEN WE START BUILDING HOUSES IN 2024.

SO THAT'S MID 24 PROBABLY BEFORE WE HAVE RESIDENTS THERE WHO ARE USING THIS ROAD.

SO THERE IS SOME TIMEFRAME HERE THAT WE CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THIS OFFSITE ROAD CONDITIONS.

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ALL OUT THERE TOMORROW.

THIS IS PROBABLY A YEAR AND A HALF TO TWO YEARS BEFORE THERE'S ACTUALLY PEOPLE LIVING THERE.

WE'RE GOING TO DO THE FIRST PHASE OF THIS.

AND THEN THE SECOND PHASE IS PROBABLY TWO OR THREE YEARS BEHIND THAT.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 2025.

AND BEFORE WE'RE REALLY IMPACTING THAT AND AS I SAID, WE DO EXPECT THE MAJORITY OF OUR TRAFFIC TO GO TO THE NORTH.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE ALL THE COLLECTORS LEAD.

THERE SEEMS TO BE THE EASIEST WAY TO GET IN AND OUT.

SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT STUDY YET.

BUT THAT STUDY HAS BEEN STARTED.

THEY'VE DONE THEIR TRAFFIC COUNTS ALREADY, SO HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE SOME IDEAS THAT COULD HELP WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT TIME FRAME PERSPECTIVE THAT WE DO HAVE SOME TIME TO ADDRESS THE CONDITION OF THAT ROAD.

SO OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? GARY COPENHAUER 402 WAGONER, DECATUR, TEXAS.

THERE IS ANOTHER CONCERN THAT I DIDN'T BRING UP AND HE JUST BROUGHT IT UP.

AND THAT'S EXITING OUT ON 380.

AT SOME POINT THERE'S ALMOST I HOPE THERE'S SOME WORK WITH THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE 400 HOMES EXITING OUT THERE ALSO.

BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT A TRAFFIC PROBLEM COMING OUT OF THOSE OUT OF THERE, YOU CAN'T HARDLY CROSS TO GO.

IF YOU CROSS ACROSS BY THE SHELL STATION IT'S HALFWAY DANGEROUS NOW.

THERE'S NO LIGHTING ON THAT END OF THE IF YOU GO FROM THE WEST END OF TOWN TO THE EAST END OF TOWN, THERE'S LIGHTING.

BUT WHEN YOU GET BACK UP THERE, IT'S DARK.

THERE'S NO LIGHTING THAT GOES ON THAT END OF TOWN.

LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE ADDED BY THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT DEVELOPER? I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS, BUT THERE'S NO LIGHTING THERE.

IT'S VERY DARK. IT'S A DANGEROUS CROSSING.

THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST LIVES AT THAT CROSSING BEFORE.

WHEN YOU ADD 400 HOMES, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE CROSSING.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A DIFFERENT WAY TO ACCESS THAT THAN CROSSING OVER THE WAY THEY'RE DOING IT NOW.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A CONCERN FOR NOT ONLY THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE THERE, BUT FOR THOSE COMING OUT.

AGAIN, I'M FOR THIS PROJECT, BUT THERE ARE SOME REAL CONCERNS THERE ABOUT THE TRAFFIC FLOW.

AND I ASSUME THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE WITH THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GARY.

ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. NO ONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS GOING TO BE CLOSED AT 6:05.

AT THIS TIME, MY DISCUSSION OF THE ITEM IS SO ANYBODY GOT ANY CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT ITEM NUMBER THREE? WELL, EARL, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE HOW THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY MAY WORK WITH TXDOT ON GAINING

[00:30:08]

AND I'M GOING TO BE I'LL BE SURPRISED AND I THINK TOM WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS, THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANTED ON HIGHWAY 380, AT LEAST ONE OF THESE ENTRANCES OFF OF HIGHWAY 380.

AND THAT'S GOING TO HELP WITH GARY'S CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY FOR ACCESS ALONG HIGHWAY 380.

BUT UNTIL WE RECEIVE THE TIA FROM A DEVELOPER WHICH WILL ALSO BE FURNISHED TO TXDOT FOR THEIR REVIEW AND CONCURRENCE ON THE FINDINGS OF THE TIA, IT'S HARD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS CONCERN OF HOW MUCH TRAFFIC GOES WHERE AND WHETHER THERE WILL BE TRAFFIC SIGNALS.

ADDING LIGHTING COULD BE AN ISSUE THAT WE CAN TAKE UP WITH TXDOT AT ANY TIME I THINK THAT'S A CONCERN THAT EXISTS CURRENTLY.

THAT'S MAYBE SOMETHING WE NEED TO START HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH TXDOT ABOUT TO HAVE SOME HIGH [INAUDIBLE] LIGHTING OUT THERE TO IMPROVE SAFETY ISSUES.

SO I HOPE I'M ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION.

I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU.

I CAN OFFER MY $0.02.

AND PATRICIA OR ANYBODY ELSE WHO FEELS LIKE I'M MISSTATING ANYTHING PLEASE DO.

AS THIS DEVELOPMENT IS ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTED AND EVOLVES, I THINK THAT THERE WILL BE A LOT OF POLITICAL HOOPS THAT HAVE TO BE JUMPED THROUGH OVER THE PERIOD OF TIME, A COUPLE OF YEARS THAT IT HAPPENS INVOLVING THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY AND TXDOT AND THE COUNTY.

AND WE CAN'T.

NO ONE CAN SIT HERE RIGHT NOW AND PREDICT EXACTLY HOW THOSE ARE GOING TO PAN OUT OR EXACTLY WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO PAN OUT, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL PROCESSES WITH DIFFERENT GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES THAT HAVE TO BE DELICATELY MANAGED.

BUT AS LONG AS THE CITY IS, YOU KNOW, PURSUING THOSE CONCERNS, WHICH I FEEL CONFIDENT THEY WILL, THEN HOPEFULLY SOLUTIONS WILL BE REACHED.

BUT AS FAR AS WHAT'S BEFORE US RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF APPROVING THE REQUEST.

YEAH, I WOULD ECHO THE SAME THING, IS THAT THESE YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY UP HERE, BUT I MEAN, WE MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.

WE CAN'T FORCE THE CITY STAFF TO DO ANY STUDIES.

WE CAN TALK TO THEM AND ASK THESE QUESTIONS.

BUT I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS LIKE GARY AND SCOTT AND ANYBODY ELSE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND THEY COME OUT TO CITY COUNCIL AND ASK THOSE SAME QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD AND THAT IT'S IN THE MEETING MINUTES AS WE GO FORWARD SO THAT WE'RE ASKING ALL OF THESE THINGS AND TALKING ABOUT THE CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE.

SO PLEASE DON'T MISUNDERSTAND, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH GARY AND SCOTT AND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.

OH, I DO TOO. I LIVE JUST OFF OF MULBERRY STREET, SO I KIND OF KNOW THE FEELING, WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DRIVE ON A POORLY MAINTAINED STREET.

BUT THAT'S ANOTHER I DO, TOO. BUT I WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE THERE IS A PROCESS.

AND WE'RE ASKING THE YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE WITH OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, WE'RE ASKING CITY STAFF TO EXPLAIN THE PROCESS NOT JUST FOR US, BUT FOR THE PEOPLE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A PROCESS THAT THEY GO THROUGH TO STUDY THESE THINGS.

AND IT MAY NOT WORK OUT PERFECTLY, BUT THEY ARE STUDYING THIS AND THEY'RE YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GOT ENGINEERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE EMPLOYED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS.

SO THANK YOU.

HEARING NONE I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

AND I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

OKAY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ITEM THREE, THAT'S CP 2022-02 THE RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

[00:35:05]

OKAY, I'VE GOT MASON WOODRUFF HAS GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I NEED A SECOND. I WILL SECOND THAT AS WELL.

I GOT WILL KLOSE SECOND.

THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK INTO PUBLIC HEARING.

IT IS 6:10 GOING INTO ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

[ITEM 4: PD2022-01 Commission to hold a public hearing, hear comments, and consider taking action to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding an amendment to Appendix “B,” “Zoning,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Decatur, Texas, the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and the official Zoning Map of the City, to rezone an approximate 165.51 acres of land, most of which is currently in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City, but for which the property owner has requested annexation into the City’s corporate limits, to change the designation on the property from Agriculture and Rural Living (AR - ETJ) to a Compact Neighborhood (CN) and Activity Center (AC) Land Use Designations. The property to be annexed is generally located in the H.D. Donald Survey, Abstract No. 1158 and the John C. Logan Survey, Abstract No. 494, Wise County, Texas and generally located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 380 and Business U.S. 380, adjacent to the current city limits in Decatur’s eastern extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), Wise County, Texas, and being described by metes and bounds on the survey located at the Planning & Development Service Building, 1601 S. State St., Bldg. C, Decatur, Texas. The Commission recommendation for this item is subject to the City Council’s approval of the request for annexation and the accompanying proposed Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map amendment. (Planned Development Application 2022-01— Mr. Sam Satterwhite, on behalf of property owners James Christopher Knapp, Darcy Lee Knapp Fricks and Shelly Lynn Knapp, Et al.)]

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.

THANK YOU WAYNE.

DOES ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? GOOD. AT THIS TIME THEN WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:12 AND WE'LL OPEN IT UP TO THE COMMISSIONERS. COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

ON, I GUESS ON THE MULTIFAMILY, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF UNITS? I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT 400 HOMES, RIGHT? 400 LOTS FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY.

BUT WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF UNITS FOR MULTIFAMILY? WE'LL LET THE DEVELOPER SPEAK TO THIS.

BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS AT THIS POINT, THERE'S STILL SOME DEBATE AND SOME IDEAS BEING FLOATED AS TO EXACTLY HOW THAT MULTIFAMILY PORTION WILL WORK, WHETHER IT'S APARTMENTS OR TOWNHOMES, GARDEN HOMES.

THANK YOU SIR. WAYNE IS CORRECT THAT WE DON'T HAVE THAT SET IN STONE YET AS TO WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE THAT.

IF YOU LOOK IN THE PD, WE DIDN'T CHANGE ANY WORDING IN THAT.

WE'RE JUST GOING WITH A STRAIGHT MULTIFAMILY ZONING THAT YOU HAVE IN PLACE.

WE'LL PLAY BY THOSE RULES.

THERE IS A [INAUDIBLE] SITE IN THIS TOO, SO IT'S NET ABOUT 20 ACRES.

SO WE'LL ADJUST THAT AS WE HAVE SOME.

WE DON'T HAVE A BUILDER FOR THAT PARTICULAR SECTION RIGHT NOW, SO.

OKAY, BUT WE WILL SO.

IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? JUST ON THE WATER TOWER AND FIRE STATION IS THIS AREA DOES THIS REQUIRE A BRAND NEW WATER TOWER OR IS THIS FOR THE ELEVATION AND OR CAPACITY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? I WAS JUST CURIOUS AND I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO EARL ON THIS.

BUT NO, I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ANY CAPACITY ISSUES THAT THAT WOULD HANDLE AT THIS TIME.

IT WOULD BE FOR A FUTURE SITE.

YEAH. WAYNE'S CORRECT.

WILL, THIS PROJECT DOES NOT REQUIRE THIS SITE.

WHEN WE CONSULT THE NATIONAL WATER PLAN IT CALLS FOR A NEW ELEVATED STORAGE TANK.

YEAH, AROUND THAT AREA ON THE 30 YEAR PLAN.

OKAY. AND WHEN WE BROUGHT IT UP, THE DEVELOPER ACTED AND WAS VERY GRACIOUS AND VOLUNTEERED TO DONATE THAT AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.

THE SAME WITH THE FIRE STATION SITE.

NICE. VERY GOOD.

AND I WOULD ASSUME IT'S SIMILAR FOR THE FIRE STATION.

IT'S THE CITY PROBABLY DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER FIRE STATION RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'VE GOT THE DEVELOPER IS PROVIDING LAND FOR THAT FOR WHEN THE TIME COMES, IT COULD BE BUILT.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

THERE'S OF COURSE DECATUR IS A GROWING COMMUNITY AND THOSE STAFF ANALYSIS REPORTS THAT'S IN YOUR PACKET WILL EXPLAIN A WHOLE LOT MORE ABOUT THAT. THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE AND WHAT THE NEEDS ARE GOING TO BE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

THIS IS GOING TO ADD A LOT OF RESIDENTS AND A LOT OF POPULATION THAT WILL BE MET WITH THAT IN THE FUTURE.
