[ITEM 3: PD2023-01 Hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council on the request of Decatur VP, LLC to rezone approximately 9.44 acres of property located east of Deer Park Road and north of West Thompson Street from Single-Family Residential, SF-2 to Townhouse, TH to allow townhomes and from Commercial C-2 to Commercial C-1 for Vista Park Planned Development.]

ITEM NUMBER THREE.

NOW, DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS, THE COMMISSION IS NOT ALLOWED TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS, RESPOND TO QUESTIONS OR COMMENT DURING PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THE COMMISSIONERS WILL RESERVE ALL QUESTIONS UNTIL THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED AND THE DISCUSSION ITEM IS OPENED.

THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM FOR ITEM THREE IS NOW OPEN.

IT IS NOW 5:32 DEDRA? AGENDA ITEM THREE IS HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON THE REQUEST OF DECATUR VP, LLC TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 9.44 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF DEER PARK ROAD AND NORTH OF WEST THOMPSON STREET, FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, SF-2 TO TOWNHOUSE, TH.

WHICH WOULD ALLOW TOWNHOMES AND FROM COMMERCIAL C-2 TO COMMERCIAL C1 AND THIS IS FOR THE VISTA PARK PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

NOW, I DID HAVE A PRESENTATION, BUT THE VISTA PARK FOLKS ALSO BROUGHT THEIR PRESENTATION AND I DON'T WANT TO STEAL THEIR THUNDER, SO I'LL JUST GO OVER THE FIRST FEW SLIDES THAT WE'VE PREPARED.

THIS IS JUST THE HISTORY OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

IT STARTED OUT ORIGINALLY AS THE RODDEN ESTATES PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

THEN IT WAS AMENDED IN 2006.

THE RODDEN ESTATES PD WAS THEN AGAIN AMENDED IN 2019.

MR. MCCULLOUGH HAD PURCHASED THE PROPERTY AND THEN SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE VISTA.

PARK PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WAS AMENDED ONCE AGAIN TO ALLOW FOR.

OR TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED LOTS FROM THREE.

THIS IS THE PROPOSAL TONIGHT.

I'M SORRY IS TO REDUCE THE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED LOTS FROM 348 TO 258.

AND THAT WOULD ALLOW, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, TOWNHOMES TO BE DEVELOPED AND TO ALSO CHANGE THE C-2 ZONING DESIGNATION TO A C-1 DESIGNATION.

SOMEHOW THAT ONE WAS MISTAKENLY REZONED OR ZONED TO C-2.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO CORRECT THAT AS WELL.

NEXT SLIDE.

AS FAR AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, NEXT SLIDE, SUSIE, THEY CAN GO THROUGH THAT.

AS FAR AS OUR COMPREHENSIVE PREVIOUS, THAT'S OKAY.

AS FAR AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS, IT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IF YOU WILL RECALL, COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS AS A PRIMARY LAND USE DOES ALLOW TOWNHOMES, SINGLE SMALL LOT, SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES, PATIO HOMES AND DUPLEXES.

NEXT SLIDE. ALL RIGHT.

AND. I'LL LET YOU GUYS COME AND.

GIVE YOUR PRESENTATION.

[00:05:02]

JODY. YEAH. GOOD EVENING.

THERE YOU GO. JODY BOYD, 404 NORTH OAK STREET IN ROANOKE, TEXAS.

THANK YOU ALL. AS YOU KNOW, WE WERE HERE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WITH THE INITIAL ZONING CHANGE FOR VISTA PARK.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT.

AND I'LL BE BRIEF.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO THIS IS WHAT'S APPROVED RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU'LL SEE ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, THERE'S THE RED C-1, C-2, AND THEN SOME LOTS ABOVE THAT, A CUL-DE-SAC ACROSS THE TOP OF THAT, AND THEN THE ORANGE COLORED LOTS THAT ARE ON THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE PROPERTY.

THOSE ARE 50 BY 100 ON THE SOUTHWEST PORTION.

WE FOUND THROUGH OUR MARKETING EFFORTS THAT THE 50 BY 100 LOT WAS NOT VERY DESIRABLE.

SO WE PROPOSED THIS CHANGE GOING FORWARD.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. OKAY.

SO ESSENTIALLY ON THE SOUTH EAST CORNER, ALL WE'VE DONE IS MOVED THE ROAD TO THE EAST, TO THE MIDDLE OF THAT BLOCK FOR TWO REASONS.

ONE, TO MAKE THOSE TWO COMMERCIAL SITES MORE MARKETABLE AND ALSO TO MOVE AWAY FROM THAT LOW WATER CROSSING THAT'S THERE IN FRONT OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, WE WANT TO MOVE THAT TO THE EAST IN ORDER TO NOT IMPACT THAT LOW WATER CROSSING.

NOW, WE'RE ALSO STILL PROPOSING A RIGHT TURN LANE DECELERATION LANE THAT GOES INTO THE THE SITE AS YOU GO WEST ON THOMPSON STREET.

SO THAT ALL STAYS THE SAME.

AND THEN THE OTHER TWO MAJOR CHANGES ARE THE TWO AREAS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING, TOWNHOME LOTS.

OKAY, NEXT SLIDE.

OKAY, HERE'S A SUMMARY OF CHANGES I WON'T READ OVER ALL THESE THINGS.

I'M GOING TO GO OVER THEM GRAPHICALLY HERE IN A SECOND, BUT I'M HAPPY TO COME BACK TO THIS IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CHANGES SPECIFICALLY.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. OKAY.

ONE CLICK. OKAY.

OVER ON THE WEST HAND SIDE, AS WE GOT DOWN THE ROAD ON OUR ENGINEERING, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT WE NEEDED TO ADD DETENTION RETENTION AREA ON THAT SIDE.

SO WE LOST, I BELIEVE, 4 OR 5 LOTS IN THAT LITTLE CUL-DE-SAC CORNER RIGHT THERE.

IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE SOME MORE ENGINEERING DETENTION POND.

WE'RE ANTICIPATING RETAINING WATER THERE AS WELL.

SO THERE'LL BE WATER THERE, STATIC WATER THERE AND THEN ALSO DETENTION AS IT RAINS AND FILLS UP AND SLOWLY METERS OUT.

SO THAT WAS PART OF THE CHANGE ON THAT SIDE.

NEXT CLICK, PLEASE.

OKAY. SO AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE'VE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF TUSSLE WITH THE OIL AND GAS COMPANY THAT'S OPERATING ON OUR SITE.

PART OF THE COMPROMISE WITH THE OIL AND GAS FOLKS, IN ORDER FOR THEM TO SIGN OFF ON OUR PLANS WAS WE AMENDED THE WAY THAT THE STREET LAYOUT WORKS THERE AND AMENDED THE LOTS THAT ARE AROUND THAT WELL PAD SITE.

SO WE USED TO HAVE A CONNECTION THAT KIND OF MADE AN ELBOW THERE.

WE'VE PULLED THAT BACK INTO A CUL DE SAC NOW ON THAT SIDE AND THEN WE'VE MADE IT THAT SO THAT THE OIL AND GAS ROAD IS NOT OBSTRUCTED AT ALL OTHER THAN THE ONE CROSSING THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE FOR FIRE AND SAFETY.

SO THE PIPELINE, THE OIL AND GAS ROAD THAT GOES TO THAT WELL SITE WILL REMAIN AS IT IS TODAY.

AND THAT WAS PART OF THE COMPROMISE, AGAIN, WITH THE OIL AND GAS COMPANY.

NEXT CLICK. AGAIN, WE REVISE THE BOUNDARY OF THAT SO THAT IT STAYS THE SAME AS IT IS TODAY.

WE DON'T WANT TO TRY TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE OIL AND GAS COMPANY'S CURRENT FOOTPRINT, SO WE KIND OF HAD TO REVISE SOME OF THOSE LOTS.

WHEN YOU DO A PD ZONING, IT'S VERY SPECIFIC.

YOU CAN'T EVEN MOVE ONE LOT LINE WITHOUT KIND OF GOING BACK AND REASSESSING THE PATIENT.

SO THAT'S PART OF THE REASON IS WE HAD TO MOVE SOME OF THOSE LOT LINES TO ACCOMMODATE THE OIL AND GAS COMPANY.

OKAY. SO HERE AGAIN IS OUR MAJOR CHANGE WITH THIS ZONING IS WE'RE ELIMINATING THE 56 5000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS OR 50 BY 100 LOTS AND WE'RE ASKING FOR APPROVAL FOR 84 ADDITIONAL TOWNHOME LOTS THERE.

NEXT SLIDE. OUR NEXT CLICK.

I'M SORRY. OKAY.

ALSO ON THE NORTHERN SIDE THERE, WE ELIMINATED THE CUL DE SAC THAT WAS THERE AND I BELIEVE NINE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS THAT WERE THERE.

A COUPLE OF REASONS FOR THAT.

AGAIN, WHEN WE GOT INTO OUR ENGINEERING, WE WANTED TO BE SURE THAT WE HAD ENOUGH ROOM FOR DETENTION RETENTION THERE.

SO WE ELIMINATED THAT CUL-DE-SAC, ELIMINATED THOSE LOTS.

THE NET RESULT IS THAT WE'VE ADDED OPEN SPACE TO THE PROJECT.

SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE MORE OPEN SPACE CITY PARKLAND THAN WE HAD BEFORE.

SO WE'VE INCREASED THAT.

ONE OF THE AREAS, ONE OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS AS WELL IS THAT NOW WE HAVE THAT ACROSS THE SITE HERE.

I WANT TO POINT OUT AND I'LL STEP OVER SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M SO THE DIFFERENCE IN THOSE GREENS IS THE LIGHT GREEN IS ACTUALLY DEDICATED CITY PARKLAND.

WE'RE DEDICATING THAT TO THE CITY, BUT OUR HOA IS GOING TO MAINTAIN IT.

SO IT'S PARKLAND. WE'RE GETTING THAT CITY PARKLAND FOR ALL THE CITIZENS TO USE, BUT OUR HOA IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT, MAINTAINING IT AND IMPROVEMENTS GOING FORWARD.

NEXT CLICK. OKAY.

AGAIN, HERE ON THE SOUTH EAST SIDE, WE REMOVED 24 OF THE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS.

THESE WERE 50 BY 125.

BUT WE WERE ASKING FOR TOWNHOME LOTS THERE.

ONE OF THE NICE THINGS THAT WE REALLY LIKE ABOUT THE TOWNHOME PRODUCT IS, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT APARTMENT COMPLEXES TO THE SOUTH OF US, A PLANNED APARTMENT IN THE EXISTING APARTMENT

[00:10:01]

COMPLEX THERE. AND THEN TO THE EAST OF US IS ALL RETAIL USES.

WE FELT LIKE IT WAS A GREAT TRANSITION FROM THE HIGHER DENSITY APARTMENTS AND RETAIL TO GO TO TOWNHOMES AND THEN TRANSITION FROM THE TOWNHOMES TO THE SINGLE FAMILY 50 BY 125 PRODUCT THAT WE HAVE ON THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY.

SO, YOU KNOW, PART OF THAT IS A PLANNING PARADIGM AS THAT TRANSITION GOES FROM HIGH DENSITY TO LOWER DENSITY.

AGAIN HERE ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE, AND I BELIEVE IT'S C-1 ALREADY OR THERE'S SOME CONFUSION THERE.

OKAY. WE WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE C-1, NONETHELESS, AGAIN, WE'VE MOVED THAT ROAD FURTHER TO THE EAST TO ACCOMMODATE ENGINEERING AND TO MAKE THOSE TWO LOTS COMMERCIAL LOTS MORE VIABLE, MARKETABLE LOTS.

HERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WE HAD WITH THE OIL AND GAS COMPANY.

THERE IS A PIPELINE THAT GOES JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THAT ROAD.

ORIGINALLY, WE THOUGHT WE COULD MOVE THAT PIPELINE AND WE HAD THAT ROAD GOING OVER THE TOP OF WHERE THE EXISTING PIPELINE IS.

SO IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THAT WITH THE OIL AND GAS COMPANY, WE'VE ADJUSTED THAT ROAD TO THE NORTH.

YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LITTLE BIN THERE THAT KIND OF GOES TO THE NORTH.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE LIKE ABOUT THIS PLAN IS BEFORE WHEN YOU CAME INTO OUR ENTRANCE THERE OFF OF DEER PARK, THERE WERE ALL 50 BY 100 LOTS.

THERE WERE GOING TO BE 10 OR 12 DRIVEWAYS GOING ON TO THAT MAJOR ROAD INTO THE SUBDIVISION.

WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE WITH THE TOWNHOMES IS THOSE WILL BE FRONT FACING.

THEY'LL FACE ONTO OPEN SPACE AND THEY'LL BE REAR LOADED.

SO WHEN YOU DRIVE INTO THE SUBDIVISION, IT'LL BE A NICE BRACKETED LOOK.

YOU'LL HAVE THE FRONT FACING TOWNHOMES, THERE WON'T BE ANY DRIVEWAYS GOING INTO THE MAIN ENTRY ROAD.

IT'LL COME AROUND TO THE BACK, WHICH WILL BE SERVED BY A FIRE LANE IN THE BACK.

SO THEY'LL BE REAR ENTRY, REAR LOADED TOWNHOMES.

WE FELT LIKE THAT HELPED BRACKET THE ENTRANCE TO THE SUBDIVISION, GIVE IT A NICE, CLEAN LOOK SO THERE'S NOT A BUNCH OF DRIVEWAYS AND TRAFFIC AS YOU COME INTO THE BOTH SIDES OF THE SUBDIVISION.

SAME THING ON THE SOUTH EAST SIDE FRONT FACING TOWNHOMES THAT ARE REAR LOADED WITH REAR DRIVES, THE REAR GARAGES, THAT SORT OF THING.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. AGAIN, SAME THING THERE ON THAT CHANGE.

NEXT ONE. OKAY.

SO PART OF THE CITY PARKLAND DEDICATION, APPROXIMATELY 8.24 ACRES OF CITY PARKLAND, WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY, WHICH INCLUDES THAT CENTRALLY LOCATED PARK THAT WE'VE HAD FROM BEFORE.

WE'RE NOT CHANGING THAT. THAT'S THE SAME SIZE, BUT THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE AS PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS.

I THINK FOR THE NEW ORDINANCES, WE ACTUALLY EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF CITY PARKLAND WE HAVE TO DEDICATE WITH THIS 8.26 ACRES.

WE'RE A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN EIGHT.

SO WE'VE EXCEEDED THAT.

AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE GOT 10.38 OF NONCONTIGUOUS OPEN SPACE, THE DETENTION AREAS, THE NORTH AND SOUTH GREEN SPACE. SO ALL TOLD, WE HAVE ALMOST A LITTLE OVER 20% OF OUR PROPERTY IS DEDICATED TO PARKLAND OR OPEN SPACE.

SO WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD A PRETTY GOOD PERCENTAGE OF OPEN SPACE THERE FOR THE NEIGHBORS AND FOR THE FUTURE RESIDENTS AS WELL.

AGAIN, HERE YOU CAN KIND OF TELL THIS IS KIND OF HIGHLIGHTS THE GREEN SPACE, IT'LL BE THROUGHOUT.

WE PUT OPEN SPACE AND GREEN SPACE THROUGHOUT THE TOWNHOMES TO GIVE THEM A MORE OPEN FEEL.

YOU'RE WALKING OUT ONTO OPEN SPACE THERE, REAR LOADED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TOWNHOMES.

NEXT, NEXT ONE. OKAY, HERE'S THE CITY PARK.

THIS IS THE CITY PARK AS WE ORIGINALLY HAD PROPOSED IT TO YOU ALL WHEN WE FIRST ZONED THE PROPERTY, WE'VE MADE SOME IMPROVEMENTS AND DETAILED THAT OUT A LITTLE MORE.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

OKAY. SO THIS SHOWS THE CITY PARK AS WE HAVE IN OUR CONSTRUCTION PRINTS FOR PHASE ONE.

PHASE ONE FINAL PLAT YOU GUYS APPROVED AT THE LAST MEETING OR RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL RATHER.

SO THIS KIND OF FLESHES THAT OUT.

WE'VE ADDED A GAZEBO SHADE STRUCTURE THAT WILL BE 20 BY 44.

THAT'LL BE RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT ROUND SIDEWALK AREA.

ENHANCED LANDSCAPING.

THIS WILL ALL BE IRRIGATED, YOU KNOW, REALLY A PLACE FOR COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO COME SIT IN THE SHADE, TALK TO THEIR NEIGHBORS, KIDS RUN AROUND, THROW A BALL, THAT SORT OF THING.

SO JUST WANTED TO BE SURE AND HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT WE ARE WE'RE PUTTING OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTH IS, SO TO SPEAK, ON THE CITY PARK.

WE'RE MAKING SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT.

SO NEXT SLIDE.

OKAY. SO THIS HIGHLIGHTS THE TWO DIFFERENT AREAS ON THE WEST SIDE WHERE WE ELIMINATED THE LOTS FOR THE OPEN SPACE POND DETENTION POND ALSO ADDED SOME GREEN SPACE AS IT GOES INTO RODDEN ESTATES THERE TO THE NORTHWEST.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE ON THE CITY PARKLAND ON THE SOUTH THERE.

BUT THAT IS RIGHT UP NEXT TO THE CHURCHES, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH'S PARKING LOT THERE.

WE'RE ANTICIPATING DOING A TRAIL THROUGH THERE, HAVING SOME SITTING PARK BENCH.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUT MAJOR STRUCTURES THERE, BUT HAVE A REALLY NICE TREE CANOPY AREA.

YOU KIND OF GET OUT THERE, GET IN THE SHADE AS WE ALL ARE LOOKING FOR SOME SHADE THESE DAYS FOR SURE.

[00:15:01]

AND THEN AGAIN, ON THE ON THE WEST, I'M SORRY, THE EAST SIDE, THE CITY PARKLAND THERE THAT ABUTS TO THE DETENTION AREA FOR WALMART.

THERE'S A LOT OF WATER COMING THROUGH THERE.

ONE OF THE MAJOR CONCERNS WE HAD FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT WAS THAT LOW WATER CROSSING THERE BY THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

WE'VE OVER DETAINED PER OUR ENGINEER WHAT THE CITY STANDARD IS FOR DETENTION, AND WE REALLY WANTED TO DO THAT FOR SEVERAL REASONS.

ONE, THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE THAT MOST REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS ARE GETTING IN TROUBLE WITH IS DOWNSTREAM WATER, PUTTING TOO MUCH WATER DOWNSTREAM TOO FAST.

SO WE'VE INCREASED THE SIZE AND THE DETENTION CAPACITY OF THIS POND SO THAT IT METERS OUT SLOWER.

IT HOLDS MORE WATER BECAUSE THERE'S A TON OF WATER THAT COMES THROUGH OUR SITE, OFF SITE FROM WALMART, ALL THAT COMMERCIAL STUFF.

SO WE REALLY WANTED TO ENHANCE THAT.

WE'VE ALSO GRADED THAT AS PART OF OUR PHASE ONE, SO THERE'LL BE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE.

WE'LL PUT A TRAIL AND THAT KIND OF STUFF THROUGH THERE.

BUT DEFINITELY WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT WE'RE TRYING OUR BEST TO DETAIN MORE THAN IS NEEDED.

AND THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WE DREW BACK THAT CUL-DE-SAC AND ELIMINATED THOSE LOTS IN THIS AREA.

OKAY. SO IN SUMMARY, I WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH THREE MAIN POINTS.

THE TOWNHOME LOTS WILL DIVERSIFY OUR PRODUCT OFFERING TO THE MARKETPLACE.

IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO BE SINGLE FAMILY.

THERE WILL BE SOME ATTACHED TOWNHOMES.

WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S A GOOD MID STEP.

I MEAN, YOU COULD ACTUALLY MOVE INTO WHEN YOU GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE, YOU CAN MOVE INTO AN APARTMENT WHEN YOU GET MARRIED AND MOVING INTO A TOWNHOME AND YOU HAVE SOME KIDS, YOU CAN MOVE INTO A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE, REALLY TRANSITION THROUGH ALL THE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE IN THIS ONE SUBDIVISION.

SO PARKLAND, SINGLE FAMILY, AS WELL AS TOWNHOMES NEXT.

AGAIN FRONT FACING TOWNHOMES.

WE FEEL LIKE THAT GIVES A GOOD FEEL FOR WHEN YOU DRIVE INTO THE SUBDIVISION, NOT A BUNCH OF DRIVEWAYS ENCUMBERING TRAFFIC AS IT COMES INTO THE SUBDIVISION.

THEY'LL ALL BE FRONT FACING WITH OPEN SPACE AS WELL.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

AND THEN AGAIN, OF COURSE, WE INCREASE THE CITY PARKLAND DEDICATION.

AS I SAID BEFORE, WE'RE OVER 20% OF THE PROJECT IS NOW DEDICATED TO THE CITY, EITHER IN DEDICATED CITY PARKLAND OR OPEN SPACE AS WELL.

SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT.

WE WOULD HUMBLY REQUEST A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL.

AND I'M HERE TO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU, JODY. YES, SIR.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? WE HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE? OKAY. HEARING NONE. THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM WILL BE CLOSED.

IT IS NOW 547.

COMMISSIONERS JUST HAD A QUESTION, IT LOOKS LIKE.

HOLD ON JUST A SECOND, JODY.

NOW COME ON, BACK UP.

YEAH, YEAH.

NOW, GO AHEAD, WILL I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH THE SOUTHWEST TOWNHOMES THAT ARE FRONT FACING REAR LOADING? YOU'VE GOT SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING IN THERE.

I'M REALLY BOTH ON THE SOUTH EAST SIDE.

I'M A LITTLE BIT MORE CONFUSED THAT IN THE FAR LEFT ROW OF TOWNHOMES, THEY'RE ALL FACING WEST, RIGHT? YEAH. YES, THEY ARE.

OKAY, SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME SORT OF SIDEWALK THAT THOSE FRONT DOORS ARE GOING TO FACE WEST? YES. THEY'LL FACE SOME SORT OF SIDEWALK TO FROM COMMON PARKING.

WHEN PEOPLE HAVE GUESTS, THAT'S WHERE THEY'LL THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE PARKED.

THEY WON'T BE EXPECTED TO PARK BEHIND ALL OF THAT.

NO. AND THAT'S WHY WE ADDED THOSE SPACES.

YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE KIND OF THE LITTLE FRONT HONEYCOMB LOOKING PARKING FOR THAT VERY REASON.

WHEN YOU GO OVER TO SEE YOUR FRIEND THAT LIVES IN THAT TOWNHOME, YOU PARKING THAT YOU WALK AROUND A SIDEWALK AROUND THE FRONT, FACING WEST, FACING LOTS TO ENTER THE HOUSE IN THE FRONT. AND WE ADDED PARKING ON BOTH SIDES FOR THE TOWNHOME.

IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.

THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF PARALLEL PARKING ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE AND WE'VE GOT SEVERAL, I THINK THREE DIFFERENT SPOTS THERE, FOUR DIFFERENT SPOTS THERE ON THE SOUTH EAST SIDE WHERE YOU CAN PARK, ONE FACING THE.

THE MOVIE THEATER THERE TO THE EAST.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU CAN SEE THE 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT SPOTS THERE TO PARK.

AND THAT'S PART OF THAT.

WE UNDERSTAND IT'S A TOWNHOME.

YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE THEM STREET PARKING, STREET LOADED.

SO WE'RE PROVIDING PARKING SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO PARK AND THEN WALK ALONG THE INTEGRAL SIDEWALKS TO ACCESS THOSE TOWNHOMES.

I'M ON MY WAY. NO, SIR, WE'RE NOT GOING.

WE HADN'T ANTICIPATED PUTTING A PIPELINE THROUGH A SIDEWALK.

THROUGH THAT. HOWEVER, YOU CAN SEE THE BLACK SIDEWALK THAT GOES FROM OUR ENTRANCE ON DEER PARK DOWN TO THOMPSON.

NOW, THERE WILL BE SIDEWALKS ACROSS ALL OF THE SINGLE FAMILY AND TOWNHOMES.

SO WE ARE NOT SHOWING ALL THE SIDEWALKS THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THE SUBDIVISION, OBVIOUSLY, BUT EVERYWHERE WILL BE INTERCONNECTED.

THERE'LL BE A LITTLE TRAIL ON THAT SOUTHWEST SIDE THERE BY THE CHURCH'S PARKING LOT.

BUT NO, WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE AND REALLY, I WOULDN'T BE OPPOSED TO IT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

PART OF THAT ISSUE IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THEIR ACCESSING THAT OIL AND GAS PAD SITE.

WE DON'T WANT TO PUT SIDEWALK THERE AND KIND OF MUCK THAT UP A LITTLE BIT.

[00:20:07]

SO I KNOW YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED DIRT WORK.

IS THIS THE REALLY THE ONLY THING THAT YOU'RE WAITING ON TO GET APPROVAL FOR TO ACTUALLY GO FULL STEAM AHEAD? WELL, IT'S KIND OF A BIFURCATED PROCESS.

SO WE DID THE ONE A, WHICH IS MAINLY THAT BLOCK OF LOTS THAT'S AROUND THE PARK AND TO THE NORTH.

NONE OF THAT IS CHANGING WITH THE ZONING.

THAT'S ALL GOING TO REMAIN THE SAME.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE STARTED CONSTRUCTION ON.

WE'RE ANTICIPATING GETTING APPROVAL FOR OUR FINAL PLAT FROM COUNCIL ON THE 15TH AND THEN WE'LL START OUR PIPE INSTALLING THE PIPE AND STUFF.

BUT YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE STARTED ON.

WAS THAT 1.A? JODY, ARE YOU DONE? YES, SIR. ON THE THOMPSON STREET ENTRANCE AND EXIT.

YES, SIR. YOU SAID YOU REDESIGNED IT.

WE DID. IT WAS ORIGINALLY FURTHER TO THE WEST.

IT WAS KIND OF BUTTED UP AGAINST THE WEST WESTERN PORTION OF THAT BLOCK, AND IT KIND OF WENT RIGHT, RIGHT IN FRONT OF WHERE THAT LOW WATER CROSSING IS.

OKAY. WE'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE EAST TO AVOID THAT WATER CROSSING.

OKAY. AND IT'S A AND IT'S DIVIDED.

SO IT'LL BE A NICE SEPARATE ENTRANCE AND A RIGHT TURN LANE GOING INTO IT.

THOSE COMMERCIAL LOTS FOR SALE.

THEY ARE. HOW MANY.

I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD, JOHN. YEAH.

SO IF YOU IF YOU SEE THIS CUL-DE-SAC RIGHT HERE, THAT'S KIND OF THE, EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THAT SIDE GOES TO THAT POND AND THEN GOES OFF TO THE SOUTH IN THAT CREEK. THAT KIND OF RUNS BETWEEN THE TENNIS COURT AND THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

SO ALL OF THAT WATER, I MEAN, ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING FROM 287, WALMART, LOWE'S, ALL THAT COMES THROUGH OUR SITE, THROUGH THAT POND TO THE SOUTH.

NOW, THAT BREAK GOES TO THE WEST.

THAT'S WHERE THAT OTHER POND COMES INTO PLAY.

ALL THAT WATER WILL GO TO THE WEST AT THAT POND AND THEN TRANSITION TO DEER PARK AFTER THAT.

MHM. YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO GO DIAGONALLY ACROSS THAT SO IT COMES OUT.

SO WE'LL HAVE AN OUTFALL STRUCTURE THAT COMES RIGHT HERE.

SO THE WATER COMES HERE, IT ALL COMES TO THIS POND AND THE ONE OF THE THINGS, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY OVERDESIGNED THAT FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, BECAUSE PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH RUNOFF IS NOT NECESSARILY THAT IT RAINS, RIGHT? IT RAINS EVERYWHERE.

THE PROBLEM IS THE VELOCITY OF IT.

HOW FAST DOES THAT WATER COLLECT AND GO? WELL, THE DETENTION POND LET'S IT, THAT DETENTION POND IT'S OVERSIZE FILL UP OVER TIME AND THEN SLOWLY METER OUT.

SO REALLY WE FEEL LIKE WITH OUR DESIGN HERE, WE'RE REALLY GOING TO MITIGATE SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD ON THOMPSON STREET AT THAT LOW WATER CROSSING BECAUSE IT'S NOT GETTING AS MUCH WATER AS IT USED TO BEFORE.

IT JUST CAME STRAIGHT THROUGH THERE, YOU KNOW, BLARING THROUGH THERE.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO SLOW IT DOWN, BUT IT DOES ALL COME ACROSS THAT ROAD AND THEN GO SOUTH.

DID I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES. OKAY. MHM.

IT WILL. YEAH.

WE TRIED TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT WITH WAL-MART AND IMPROVE THAT AND THEY'VE SAID NO THANKS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR OWN. YEAH, I MEAN, UNDERSTANDABLY.

RIGHT. WE DID ASK THEM, THOUGH.

YES, SIR. YEAH.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUSH THAT WATER A LITTLE BIT WEST.

AND THEY'LL GO BETWEEN THE TOWNHOMES AND THE EXISTING APARTMENT COMPLEX DOWN THAT SIDE, THAT WEST SIDE.

AND WHAT'S THAT LITTLE PINK STRIP ON THE FAR SOUTH EAST SIDE? UH, LITTLE PINK STRIP ON THE FAR SOUTH EAST SIDE.

NEXT TO THE COMMERCIAL. YES.

THAT'S THAT RIGHT HAND TURN LANE.

NO, NO, NO. IT GOES VERTICALLY.

THAT'S THE DRIVEWAY TO THE THEATER.

IS IT RIGHT HERE? YEAH, THAT'S AN EXISTING.

OH, THAT'S EXISTING. OKAY.

OKAY. SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE AFFECTED.

OH, NO, THAT'S OKAY.

WE AGREED WITH THE PREVIOUSLY THAT THAT NEEDS TO REMAIN THE SAME.

THAT'S THE ACCESS TO THAT THEATER AND THE STUFF THAT'S ON THE BACK SIDE.

SO NO, WE'RE NOT MESSING WITH THAT.

GOTCHA. HOW MANY TOTAL RESIDENTIAL LOTS ARE THERE? RIGHT NOW THERE ARE 398 TOTAL.

27. JUST TO BE CLEAR, YOU'VE GOT ONE ACCESS OFF OF THOMPSON.

YES, SIR. CAME DOWN AROUND THE CORNER.

YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER ACCESS OFF DEER PARK, AROUND THE CURVE, ANOTHER ACCESS OFF OF DEER PARK.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEN YOU HAVE A STREET THAT'S GOING TO TIE INTO THE EXISTING ROAD.

YES, SIR, THAT IS CORRECT.

THOSE ARE THE ACCESS POINTS. YES, SIR.

AND HOW WIDE IS THE FIRE LANE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER? BEHIND THE THE FIRE LANE BEHIND THE TOWNHOMES, I BELIEVE IT'S 22 OR 24FT.

24 FOOT FIRE LANE.

THE OTHER ALLEYS ARE 29.

AND SO WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE WIDTH OF THE PAVEMENT ON THE PRIMARY STREETS? THAT'S A CITY STANDARD, 31FT BACK OF CURB.

THAT'S PER CITY DESIGN.

YEAH. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT ON THE STREETS.

WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO CITY STANDARDS ON THAT.

[00:25:03]

OKAY. THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS.

YOU BET. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? JODY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU ALL. AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.

OKAY. COMMISSIONERS.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

ITEM SEVEN DEDRA.

ITEM SEVEN. THIS HAS TO DO WITH NEW OR FUTURE BUSINESS ITEMS. AS OF THIS AGENDA POSTING THE SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2023 MEETING CURRENTLY HAS NO NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS.

THE SUBMITTAL DEADLINE IS AUGUST 7TH, SO WE'LL KNOW SOMETHING AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT DATE DATE.

THERE WILL NEED TO BE A SPECIAL MEETING.

ONCE STAFF HAS DETERMINED WHETHER OR NOT THESE SUBMITTALS ARE COMPLETE.

WE HAVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE VINEYARDS.

THAT ONE WAS RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL SEVERAL MONTHS BACK.

THE DECATUR POLICE STATION OBVIOUSLY RECEIVED THE 30 DAY EXTENSION, SO WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE TO GET THAT ONE BEFORE AUGUST 31ST.

THE FINAL PLAT FOR PALOMA TRAIL'S PHASE ONE.

ACTUALLY, THAT ONE GOES AWAY.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE DENIED, BUT IT'S NOT.

THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
