GIVE YOU A QUICK INTRODUCTION. I KNOW YOU'RE ALL WELL AWARE AND HAVE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROCESS THAT WE'RE WELL INTO NOW WE'RE GONNA STARTING THE SECOND PHASE, AND A BIG PART OF THAT IS VISIONING AND I'VE BEEN CALLING THIS VISIONING WEEK ON MONDAY, ALL MONDAY AFTERNOON, AND THIS AFTERNOON WE'VE HAD LISTENING SESSIONS WITH SOME KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND CONCLUDING THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY SOME REPRESENTATIVES FROM OUR H OAS AND APARTMENT COMMUNITIES AND HEARD FROM THEM. WE HAD OUR FIRST STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING ON MONDAY NIGHT. AND NOW THIS IS ANOTHER LISTENING SESSION TYPE OPPORTUNITY TO GET INPUT FROM THE COUNCIL, THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION, THE CDC, SO IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET US ALL IN THE SAME ROOM. AND I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EVER THAT ALL THESE BOARDS HAVE BEEN TOGETHER. BECAUSE THE P AND Z IS RELATIVELY NEW, SO THIS IS OUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. SO ALL HANDED OVER TO HALF ASSOCIATES WHO IS HANDLING THE PLAN AND KINDLE WITH HALF TAKE IT FROM HERE. GREAT GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL COMMISSIONERS BOARD MEMBERS. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TONIGHT. SO KIND OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TONIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE PURPOSE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN KIND OF A LOOK FORWARD OF WHAT TO EXPECT OVER THIS COMING YEAR AS WE WORK TO DEVELOP THE PLAN, AND THEN THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME TONIGHT IS GOING TO BE US LISTENING TO YOU ALSO. WE WANT TO. WE HAVE SOME GUIDED QUESTIONS WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL. ABOUT WHAT? YOUR YOUR CURRENT VISION, CURRENT AND FUTURE VISION FOR NORTHLAKE. MOVING FORWARD IS SO JUST A LITTLE INTRODUCTION TO OUR TEAM . BRENNAN KANE IS HERE. HE'S SERVING AS PRINCIPAL IN CHARGE FROM HALF MY NAME AGAIN IS KENDALL HOWARD KELSEY POOL SERVING AS OUR DEPUTY PROJECT MANAGER, AND WE ALSO HAVE RAUL OR OROSCO AND THEN JASON WITH CATALYST COMMERCIAL IS ALSO PART OF THIS PROCESS. HALF HAS WORKED WITH THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE FOR MANY YEARS, SO WE ARE EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH YOU ON THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE. SO MANY OF YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH WHAT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS. IT'S REALLY THAT OVERARCHING POLICY DOCUMENTED THAT HELPS TO GUIDE FUTURE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AND A COMMUNITY SO THIS PLAN IS GOING TO LOOK OUT TO YOUR 2045 SO ABOUT 20 YEAR HORIZON. THE LAST CONFERENCE OF PLAN FOR NORTH LAKE WAS DONE IN 2016 MOST COMMUNITIES IN TEXAS WILL UPDATE THEIR PLANS ABOUT EVERY FIVE OR 10 YEARS JUST ACCOUNT FOR CHANGES IN THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER THAT'S SIGNIFICANT GROWTH OR DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES, SO ALL OF YOU KNOW ON A DAILY BASIS AND SEE ALL THE GROWTH THAT HAS OCCURRED, SO IT'S DEFINITELY A GREAT TIME. TO BE EMBARKING ON THIS PLANNED PROCESS SO THAT THE CORE OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAPS THAT MAP SERVES AS GUIDANCE OF WHERE DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT TYPES ARE ENVISIONED TO GO IN THE FUTURE. ONCE THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS ADOPTED, TYPICALLY, A COMMUNITY WILL UPDATE THEIR ZONING REGULATIONS TO MATCH THE INTENT OF THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. OTHER TOPICS THAT THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN WILL COVER AT A HIGH LEVEL OR THINGS LIKE TRANSPORTATION UTILITIES, THE ENVIRONMENT, INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER. SO THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF OUR PLANNING PROCESS I MENTIONED IT WILL BE ABOUT A YEAR LONG PROCESS. A LOT OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE TO DATE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH NATHAN AND DREW AND OTHER STAFF KIND OF GETTING EVERYTHING STARTED. A LOT OF BEHIND THE SCENES WORK THIS WEEK IS REALLY THE BEGINNING OF OUR VISIONING[00:05:04]
PROCESS. SO LATER ON IN THE LATER SPRINGTIME WILL DO SOME SCENARIO PLANNING SO LOOKING AT DIFFERENT WAYS THAT NORTHLAKE CAN GROW IN THE FUTURE, DEPENDING ON YOU KNOW DIFFERENT POLICIES MOVING FORWARD AND THEN WE'LL WORK TO DEVELOP THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND THE ASSOCIATED POLICIES AND STRATEGIES, ACTION STRATEGIES AND THEN WE ARE ANTICIPATING HAVING A DRAFT PLAN IN THE FALL TIME FRAME, AND WE'LL COME UM, YOU KNOW, BACK TO THESE THESE BOARDS TO REVIEW THE PLAN AND SEEK ADOPTION LIKELY AT THE END OF 2023. SO IN TERMS OF WHAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL PLAN, I MENTIONED THAT FUTURE LAND USE MAP. WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THE E T. J AREA WITHIN, UM WITHIN NORTH LAKE. SINCE THIS IS A FORD LOOKING PLAN, LOOKING 20 YEARS OUT INTO THE FUTURE. YOU KNOW, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT SOME SOME OF THAT LAND COULD BE ANNEXED AND UNDER TOWN CONTROL IN THE FUTURE, SO WE WANT TO BE READY FOR THAT THE TEAM AT CATALYST COMMERCIAL IS GOING TO BE DOING A MARKET ANALYSIS TO ASSESS WHAT SORT OF ECONOMIC FORCES AND WHAT SORT OF RETAIL AND OTHER MARKET DEMAND THERE IS TODAY TO DEVELOP AN OVERALL ECONOMIC STRATEGY MOVING FORWARD. ALSO AS PART OF THIS PLANNING PROCESS, WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING US SPECIFIC FOCUS ON A TOWN CENTER. SMALL AREA PLAN. SO NORTHLAKE TODAY IT DOESN'T HAVE A TRUE DOWNTOWN. THERE'S NO HISTORIC DOWNTOWN, LIKE MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE. IT'S MORE OF A BLANK SLATE TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP A TOWN CENTER IN THE FUTURE. SO AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, WE'RE GOING TO BE HOLDING A DESIGN. SHRED IT WHERE WE'RE GOING TO INVITE THE COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AND LOOK AT SOME POTENTIAL LOCATIONS WHERE A TOWN CENTER MIGHT MAKE SENSE AND HAVE SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT THE HIGHEST INVEST LAND USES COULD BE FOR THAT AREA, SO THAT WILL BE A COMPONENT OF THE FINAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND THEN FINALLY, THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, SO THIS IS REALLY GOING TO SERVE AS SORT OF A CHECKLIST FOR THE COMMUNITY MOVING FORWARD. IT'S GOING TO DOCUMENT ALL OF THE RECOMMENDED POLICIES AND STRATEGIES TO HELP IMPLEMENT THE COMMUNITY VISION MOVING FORWARD. SO I MENTIONED THE LAST CONFERENCE OF PLAN UPDATE WAS DONE IN 2016 AND JUST A NOTE ON THE EXTENSIVE GROWTH THAT'S OCCURRED IN THE COMMUNITY . SINCE 2010. THERE'S BEEN ABOUT 600% GROWTH, UM AND IN TERMS OF THE POPULATION GROWTH, SO JUST MASSIVE AMOUNT OF RAPID GROWTH IN THE PAST DECADE. WE ARE STILL WE'RE WORKING ON, YOU KNOW, UM, UM, CALCULATING POPULATION PROJECTIONS. BUT IF THE CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE THAT CURRENT GROWTH TUNES CONTINUE. NORTH LAKE COULD BE UPWARDS OF 45,000 RESIDENTS BY THE YEAR. 2045 SO, OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S EXPECTED TO BE A LOT OF CONTINUED GROWTH. BUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO HELP DIRECT, UM HOW AND WHERE THAT GROWTH MIGHT OCCUR, AND WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE WHAT'S THE CHARACTER OF THAT GROWTH? SO IN TERMS OF THE COMMUNITY TODAY, THE PLANNING AREAS ABOUT 32 SQUARE MILES THAT INCLUDES BOTH THE TOWN LIMITS AND THE E T J AREA. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION IS WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN JUST UNDER 30% SO AND IN ONE WAY THAT'S A CONSTRAINT IN TERMS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DEVELOP, BUT IT'S ALSO IT COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU KNOW, NATURAL AREAS, TRAIL CONNECTIONS KIND OF CELEBRATING THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF DIDN'T CREAK IN THOSE AREAS. SO IN TERMS OF THE DEVELOPED AREA ABOUT 65% IS RESIDENTIAL AND 35% IS NON RESIDENTIAL. 45% IS UNDER YOUR NEXT LAND. AND THEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF TEXT DOT MAJOR TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS AND SOME LARGE ECONOMIC GENERATORS NEARBY LIKE ALLIANCE AND THE MOTOR SPEEDWAY. AND THEN AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, WE ALSO DEVELOP A COMMUNITY PROFILE. SO LOOKING AT WHAT DOES NORTHLAKE LOOKED LIKE TODAY? SO THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THOSE KEY STATISTICS. THE MEDIAN AGE IS ABOUT 38. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS ABOUT 112,000. SO THAT'S THAT'S HIGHER THAN A LOT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES HERE IN THE DFW METROPLEX. 73% OF RESIDENTS OWN THEIR HOMES. THAT'S A PRETTY HIGH PERCENTAGE[00:10:01]
COMPARED TO OTHER COMMUNITIES. AND THEN ABOUT THE AVERAGE COMMUTE. TIME IS ABOUT 27 MINUTES, SO THAT INDICATES THAT MOST RESIDENTS ARE TRAVELING OUTSIDE OF NORTH LAKE TO GO TO WORK. SO BEFORE I MOVE INTO OUR EXERCISES, UM I DID WANT TO PAUSE AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OVERVIEW THAT I WENT OVER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS WILL YOU'RE HAVING A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES, WE WILL WE HAVE A SLIDE AT THE END THAT TALKED ABOUT WAYS THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE CAN GET INVOLVED WHERE WE HAVE AN ONLINE SURVEY THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON AND WILL ALSO BE HAVING A PUBLIC MEETING ON APRIL 3RD, BUT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS SO FAR. OKAY? ALRIGHT SO WHAT WE'LL DO TODAY WE HAVE A FEW EXERCISES. SO IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH THERE ARE A FEW OF YOU HERE, YOU CAN GIVE THE SAME ANSWERS AS YOU DID THE OTHER NIGHT OR IF YOU HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT OTHER ANSWERS.PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THOSE. BUT WE ARE DOING VERY SIMILAR EXERCISES AS AS THE PREVIOUS EVENING. SO THE FIRST EXERCISE WE'RE GOING TO DO IS JUST AN ICEBREAKER.

DO YOU WANT TO EXPAND UPON THE CULTURAL DIFFERENCES? WE ACTUALLY HEARD SOME REALLY POSITIVE FEEDBACKS ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ALL OF YOUR DIFFERENT SUBDIVISIONS AND SOME PREVIOUS MEETINGS, AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF HE HAD ANY WAY TO EXPAND UPON THAT HARD WORK STAYING. YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE WANTED FIREWORKS AND SOME RESENTMENT. 1000 STRIKE. THANK YOU. JUST TRAFFIC TOO FAST. SOMETHING ROADS. ACTUALLY I PUT TIME NEEDED FOR ROAD DEVELOPMENT . BECAUSE HONESTLY, EVERY SINGLE ROAD YOU CAN THINK OF THERE'S ALREADY A PLAN IN PLACE FOR IT.
IT JUST TAKES LONG TO ACCOMPLISH EVERY SINGLE THING. I THINK JOHN POLLSTER SAID IT REFORM MEETINGS AGO, HE SAID. AS SOON AS YOU SEE BIG ORANGE BARRELS COME UP ON A ROAD PROJECT THAT MEANS SOMEONE LIKE IT HAS BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR 10 YEARS. YEAH EVEN THE LIGHT THAT SLOWED DOWN DR.
SESSION WE'RE GETTING HERE IS SLATED TO GET DONE IN THE PROCESS, RIGHT? THEY'RE GONNA BREAK GROUND ON THAT LATER THIS YEAR, I THINK RIGHT, SO IT'S ON THE PROCESS. UM AND THEN YEAH, E T. J WOULD BE ANOTHER THING RIGHT? BECAUSE WE STILL A LITTLE BIT. GOOD THING ABOUT E. T J IS NOT IN THE TOWN. I LIVED IN A TJ BEFORE JUSTIN, AND IT WAS GREAT. AT THE SAME TIME WHEN DEVELOPMENTS HAPPENING IN LARGE SWATHS, AND YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY CONTROL THE DESTINY OF THAT SPACE. MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE THE BEST FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE AROUND IT, SO TJ THAT IT'S FARMLAND. J. THAT DOESN'T THAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING FOR EVERYONE. MUCH THE SAME INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE ROADS AND CONGESTION THE TIMEFRAMES THREAT WITH TEXTILE SLOWDOWNS.
TJ MANAGEMENT. WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO HELP MANAGE SOME OF THAT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH CONTROL. THINGS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL THINGS LIKE HUNTER RANCH THAT ARE COMING UP THAT WILL DRASTICALLY IMPACT OUR TOWN. UM THE BROKEN BORDERS OR EXTREME CHALLENGE FOR THE TJ. AND ONE THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE A POPULAR ONE. BUT IT'S VERY TRUE IS LAWLESSNESS. AT TIMES. WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMUNITIES WITH A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS THAT I DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND WAS SPEED DOWN THE ROADS AND WANT TO DO FIREWORKS ON THE WRONG NIGHTS, OR ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT MAKE IT VERY HARD TO MANAGE THE EXPECTATIONS OF OUR CITIZENS AS A WHOLE. UM YOU KNOW, WE GOT PEOPLE CHANGE THE SPEED LIMIT ON THIS ROAD. BUT PUT UP SLOW DOWN SIDES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT IF EVERYBODY WOULD JUST FOLLOW THE RULES OF SURE GETS A HECK OF A LOT EASIER. SOCIETY BECOMES MUCH MORE HARMONIOUS. ALL RIGHT. MAN
[00:30:02]
OF E. T. J WE'VE MENTIONED THAT INTEREST RATES ARE SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR US. INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS, UM, COST OF FINANCING. STATE VERSUS LOCAL CONTROL. WE'RE CONTINUING TO SEE AN EROSION OF OUR LOCAL CONTROL FROM BUILDING MATERIALS TO TAX RATE. TO SPENDING. THE STATE SEEMS INTENT ON MAKING SURE THAT WE DON'T DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO. AND THEN OUR GROWTH RATE IS STRAINING US A LOT. OUR ROADWAYS HAS BEEN MENTIONED. SECURITY 35 THAT IS A BIG RISK TO US AND MAINTAINING SECURITY AND WHAT COMES OFF THE FREEWAY IS RATHER CONCERNING ISSUE. WE DO HAVE THIS WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE ARE CONFLICTING VIEWS ON THE FUTURE OF THE TOWN AND THAT THERE'S AN EDUCATION PROCESS TO BRING EVERYBODY AWARE OF WHERE WE WERE HEADED, WHERE WE PERHAPS SHOULD STILL BE HEADED. DEVELOPER DEMANDS BOTH THOSE THAT ARE DEMANDING TO USE LAND AND USES THAT WE MAY NOT WANT TO STRAIN THAT THEY'RE PUTTING ON OUR INFRASTRUCTURE FROM ROADS AND WATER. TO THE DEVELOPERS KIND OF THE OVERHEAD OF CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS AND THE NOISE AND THE LIGHTS AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS IN THE TRUCKS AND THE TRAFFIC AND THE PARKING AND THE MUD AND ALL THE THINGS THAT STRAIN OUR SITUATION AND OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. THANK YOU.TRAFFIC AND DEVELOPERS. CAMERON DIDN'T GET WRITER'S CRAMP AND THEY TOOK CARE OF US TONIGHT. I WOULD SAY JUST ONE ISSUE. A LOT OF THE PEOPLE SPEAK ABOUT WANTING MR BERMAN OF SMALL TOWN.
ON THE OTHER END OF THE SAME SENTENCE, THEY SAID. WE NEED BIG BOX STORES AND GROCERY STORES.
ROOFTOPS MAKE THOSE STORES. THAT BALANCE. IF YOU'VE GOT MY ALREADY BEEN SAID, BUT HE TJ TRAFFIC. I PUT DOWN AREA AS A CONSTRAINT. AREA TIME SPEED. 32 SQUARE MILES. IT'S GOT HIS CHALLENGES, DOESN'T IT? TRAFFIC. I'VE BEEN SAVING GROWING FASTER THAN NECESSARY THAN PRINTING CAN HAPPEN, BUT THEY MENTIONED OKAY? I NEED IT.
TRENDING NOW WE CAN GET THEM OUT OF OUR HOUSE. THAT'S YOUNG KIDS THAT ARE DRIVING. PROBABLY ONE MONTH 35.
AWESOME. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THIS SO MOVING INTO OUR NEXT EXERCISE CHARACTER CONTEXT. YOU ALL STARTED TOUCHING ON THIS ABOUT YOUR AGRICULTURAL FIELDS. SMALL TOWN FEEL SO WE WANT TO HAVE THIS EXERCISE FOR YOU TO DEFINE IN YOUR OPINION. WHAT IS RURAL, SUBURBAN AND URBAN? YOU CAN HEAR ME PULL THIS. WE WANTED YOU ALL TO FIND IN YOUR OWN WORDS. WHAT DOES RURAL SUBURBAN AND URBAN MEAN TO YOU TODAY? HAVE YOU ALL GO AROUND AND SEE WHAT THAT MEANS. AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK AND SAY, HOW DO YOU WANT TO SEE THESE THINGS CHANGE IN NORTH LAKE IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS, KNOWING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN INCREASE IN POPULATION? GROWTH REGIONALLY IS HAPPENING. AND HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THESE THINGS EVOLVE? AND HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE THEM ON THE 20 YEAR HORIZON? SO USING THIS, UH, BRIGHT PINK POST IT WILL START WITH HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE RURAL, SUBURBAN AND URBAN TODAY AND YOU HAVE THREE POST ITS TO DO THAT? AND WE'LL JUST
[00:35:03]
GO AROUND FIRST TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND COME BACK TO SALMON. AMEND WHAT I SAID IT IS SALMON, OKAY? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS EXERCISE? COMPLETE ABOUT THE URBAN AND LIKE, HOW WOULD YOU SO IS THAT WHAT YOU COULD SAY? I DON'T THINK ANYTHING IS URBAN AND NORTHLAKE WERE YOU KNOW THE I 30 FRONTAGE IS WHAT I CONSIDER URBAN. EXCUSE ME IN NORTH LAKE.UM AND THEN YOU COULD SAY, YOU KNOW, 20 YEARS FROM NOW, THAT'S AS MUCH AS URBANIZATION. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN NORTHLAKE WHERE YOU COULD, AS AN EXAMPLE SAYING , YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR TARGETED. MIXED USE THAT CAN VERTICAL MIXED USE IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY. OR YOU COULD SAY, UH, IT'S AN EXAMPLE. UM AND THEN, UH , AS AN EXAMPLE DO YOU COULD SAY ONE ACRE LOTS MEANS SUBURBAN TO ME, SO JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS. THAT WILL GO IN THE LET ME GO THINK, YEAH.
TAKE A FEW MORE SECONDS TO FINISH YOUR THOUGHTS. GO BACK AND START WITH THE MAYOR ON THIS ONE. DO THAT. KICK IT OFF. SURE SO WE'RE JUST TALKING THE FIRST QUADRANT, RIGHT? YES, YES, CORRECT. CURRENT CHARACTERS ON JUST WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY ACROSS. OKAY WASN'T QUITE FINISHED, BUT I THINK I GOT ENOUGH. SO THE RURAL ZONE I'VE GOT RANCHES AG USES DARK SKIES OPEN SPACE, UNDEVELOPED LAND LIMITED DEVELOPMENT, DAYTIME COMMERCIAL ON THE LIMITED INFRASTRUCTURE AND SIGHTLINES. DOES HE HAVE A FINE POINT PEN? I DON'T KNOW. AND THEN FOR SUBURBAN AS I SAID, IN QUITE FINISHED THESE, BUT, UH CHARACTER AREA. MASTER PLANNING , UM TOWN AMENITIES. PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL SHOPPING ALONG THE CORNERS AND THEN FOR URBAN. I SEE BUSINESSES. I SEE SOME HEIGHT IN TERMS OF BUILDINGS. I SEE SOME HIGH VALUE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY, UM, TYPE OF USES THAT ARE DENSE ON CORNERS. I 35 THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THANK YOU. AS FAR AS I GOT. BRIAN WORLD COWS, FARMLAND HORSES, FIVE PLUS ACRES, THE GENERAL MORE THAN TOP BIOGRAPHY OF NORTH LAKE TODAY, SUBURBAN UM, SOME LIGHT SHOPPING LIKE TOWN CENTER HERE 125 ACRE. LOTS OF THINGS LIKE THAT, AND THEN AN URBAN MORE OF OUR SOUTHERN REGION, AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE QUALIFIED LIKE HOW DO THE SOUTH TO NORTH TRANSITION ZONES? BUT URBAN THE APARTMENTS OF POSSIBLE SPORTS COMPLEX HOTELS, THINGS LIKE THAT. SOME THINGS. ALREADY WORKING ON GREEN, OKAY? YEAH. I MEAN IN THE WORLD, I THINK KIND OF HIT IT THE RANCH PRESERVATION AND IS KNOWN AS OUR RURAL CORNER SHOPPING KIND OF MAYBE THAT'S SPLITTING THE HAIR BETWEEN RURAL AND SUBURBAN AND THAT TYPE OF THING. I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT PLACES EVEN THOUGH CROSS CITY IS NOT IN OUR TOWN SHOPPING CENTER HAS BEEN THERE FOR 50 YEARS, ESSENTIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THAT . SO, UM AND THEN FOR SUBURBAN OBVIOUSLY, OUR MASTER PLANNED
[00:40:04]
COMMUNITIES AND A FEW OF THE LIGHT, YOU KNOW, SHOPPING CENTERS LIKE THIS ONE THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW. WE'RE GOING IN THEIR SUBURBAN DIRECTION. AND AS FAR AS URBAN I DON'T THINK WE REALLY HAVE ANYTHING THAT REFLECTS. URBAN DEVELOPMENT. WE'VE GOT SOME INDUSTRIAL IN THAT TYPE OF THING, BUT I DON'T I REALLY SEE THE URBAN MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE IN MY MIND URBAN IS, YOU KNOW VERY DENSE AND BIG , TALL BUILDINGS AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT KIND OF DENSITY OR HEIGHTS , AND THAT JUST DOESN'T REFLECT URBAN TO ME AT ALL. YEAH I WOULD SAY I'M VERY MUCH AWARE OF THOSE STATEMENTS RURAL WEST OF FORT ROAD, ALL THAT SUBURBAN MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES. URBAN WASN'T ANYWHERE IN NORTH LONDON , 1, 14 AND 35. ROGER. NO SMALL LOTS NEXT TO. SUBURBAN LONG WALL. HAS BIG BUILDINGS. ON THIS CAPTURED DO NOT EXCEEDING. SITUATION. RIGHT? I STARTED SCHOOL. RIGHT? DO YOU WANNA. REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY MAJORS. ABOUT MONEY MASTER QUESTION. URBAN HOUSING TOGETHER. BUILDING CITY COMMERCIAL DOWNTOWN FIELD. PAPERS. 20 YEARS. TO FRENCH IS THE LARGER APRIL 2ND BY PLUS.ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU SEE.

SO THANK YOU A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS AND AGAIN, THIS IS ECHO THROUGH A LOT OF BIRTH LISTENING SESSIONS. SO NOW TAKING THIS TO THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS ACTIVITY AGAIN. THINK ABOUT HOW YOU MAY CHANGE HOW YOU MAY INTRODUCE MORE PEOPLE TO THIS COMMUNITY IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS AND HOW YOU COULD SEE DEFINING THESE POTENTIALLY ACCOMMODATE THIS GROWTH. AND HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DEFINE IT? I'M SORRY. I MY MASTER CHANGE. WE RAN OUT OF POST ITS THE GREEN COLOR. I APOLOGIZE. YES GREEN 20, PLUS YEARS AND 2020 45 TIMEFRAME. YES WE'RE ALL SUBURBAN, URBAN AND AGAIN, YOU COULD JUST REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID OR AGAIN. WHAT THIS IS ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO DEFINE IT. FOR THE NORTH LAKE COMMUNITY. YEAH, THAT'S IT.

MHM. YEP. GREAT. THANK YOU. MEMORY AND CHANGE. CAN YOU GIVE A NUMBER TWO DENSITY IN THAT SCENARIO? IF NOT, THAT'S OKAY.
OKAY? OKAY? DO YOU SEE PARKS AS BEING PART OF JUST THE SUBDIVISIONS OR
[00:50:14]
OUTSIDE OF THEM? COMING. THANK YOU.PAINT LIVE FOR YOU. CHECK OUT AND BABY. BETTER BUILDING. FOR ME TO MASTER THE RURAL AREA WOULD BE THE PRESERVING. AREA. NECKER LOCKS, NATIONAL PLANNING AND CONTROL CONTROL. CAN BE GRANTED FALL REALLY HEAVY EXPRESSED. YOUR SATISFACTION WITH WHERE THEY LIVE NOW. 15 MINUTES AGO STORIES ABOUT THEIR DEAL. I ACTUALLY PERSONALLY. YOU SHOULDN'T ENHANCE ON FRIDAY. PARTS OF EARLY. LIKE TO SEE IT, SAY THE SAME WITH THE ADDITION OF A FEW STORES ON SOME OF THE CORNERS. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US DEVELOPED A ROAD TO BACKBONE THROUGH THIS TOWN. ONLY BACKBONE THROUGH THIS TOWN IS I 35 14 AND 47. WE NEEDED A ROAD. DREW KNOWS ALL SUGGEST. PROBABLY CLEVELAND, GIBBS. BUT WE NEED A ROAD THROUGH THIS TOWN. THAT'S A BACKBONE. IT'S NOT A BIG HIGHWAY THAT WE HAVE TO GET ON TO GET SOME YES. ALRIGHT IN THE URBAN CONTEXT AREA. UM SOME CHANGES THAT I THINK ARE IMPORTANT. AND THESE THESE ARE A LITTLE MORE ROOTED IN REALITIES OF WHAT YOU GOT TO DO IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE SOME OF THESE THINGS BUT COMBINATION TRAVEL AND ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS. SO THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT ON 1 14 IF IT COMES ON STRUCTURED, MEANING IT'S PAD SITE, AND WHATEVER WANTS TO GO THERE GOES THERE. IT WON'T HAVE INTENTION TO IT. IF WE'RE CAREFUL, AND WE GET SOME INTENTION TO IT WITH WITH KEY ANCHORS, WE CAN HAVE THEMED AREAS THAT ARE DESTINATIONS FOR THE REGION. THAT'S THAT'S HOW ROANOKE DEVELOPED WAS A DESTINATION FOR HIGH END RESTAURANTS, AND THAT'S WHERE EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND IT SORT OF FORMING AROUND THAT THEME. IF YOU JUST HAVE A HIGHWAY CORNER.
IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE EVERY OTHER MID CITIES. CORNER ON THE FREEWAYS, JUST FREE FORM.
WHATEVER WANTS TO COME WILL COME. AND WITH THAT, JUST YOU'RE JUST NONDESCRIPT. NOTHING. UM SO THAT URBAN AREA NEEDS THAT COMBINATION TRAVEL AND ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS IT NEEDS NEEDS GOOD PLANNING THE WEALTH, BRINGING THE RIGHT THINGS AND THE RIGHT COMBINATIONS. WE NEED HIGHER QUALITY RETAIL. STUFF THAT'S COMING. IT'S NOT BEEN NOT BEEN GREAT YET STARTING TO TURN A CORNER, BUT WE NEED MORE HIGHER QUALITY RETAIL. WE NEED TO FINISH THE HIGHWAYS AND WE NEED, UM, DESTINATION RETAIL, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT I SAID BEFORE IN THE URBAN AREA IN THE SUBURBAN AREA. WE NEED TO FINISH OUT OUR MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES. WE NEED TO WRAP THEM WITH SOME SOME THOUGHTFUL LIKE COMMERCIAL. THAT'S INTENTIONAL ON THE CORNERS THAT DOESN'T BRING HIGH INTENSITY TRAFFIC USES. BUT BRING BRINGS THE KIND OF THINGS THAT YOU WANT NEXT TO YOU, WHICH IS MORE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS, MORE DOCTORS AND DAYTIME TYPE COMMERCIAL THAT GO DARK AT NIGHT AND THEN YOU'RE MORE INTENSE COMMERCIAL USES AND
[00:55:02]
LATER AT NIGHT GAS STATIONS. YOU KEEP IT DIRECTIONALLY AWAY FROM DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT THAT'S HARD TO DO WHEN YOU'VE GOT QUALITY CORNERS, SO IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE SOME REAL THOUGHTFUL PLANNING. TO TRY TO GET THE RIGHT THINGS AND CREATE TRANSITION ZONES AND THAT COMMERCIAL SO THEY'RE NOT DIRECTLY ADJACENT AS WE KIND OF HAVE HERE AT THE NORTH LAKE COMMENTS WITH HARVEST UM, WE'RE GONNA NEED LARGER ROADS. WE NEED TO FINISH SOME OF OUR BOULEVARDS. WE NEED TO DECORATE THEM A LITTLE BIT. TREES AND FENCES AND WHATEVER ELSE YOU WANT TO DO TO CREATE SOME SEPARATION, SOME SPACE AND SENSE OF KIND OF SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT. WE NEED PLANNED TRANSITIONS IN THE SUBURBAN AREA WERE VERY MUCH AT RISK OF NOT HAVING INTENTIONAL TRANSITIONS FROM A HEAVY MPD TYPE USED INTO A SCHOOL INTO AN OPEN SPACE. AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING THAT SLOWS THAT TRANSITION AND GRADUALLY OPENS IT UP, IT WON'T LOOK LIKE IT'S THOUGHTFUL. YOU'LL JUST GO FROM TWO USES THAT ARE NOT NOT GOOD ADJACENT SEAS. I NEED TO FINISH THE SCHOOLS IN THE SUBURBAN AREAS.MAKE SURE YOU KEEP UP WITH THOSE AND MAKE SURE THAT THE SCHOOLS ACTUALLY THEMSELVES DON'T BECOME A TOUGH SPOT FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT. FROM AN INTENSITY STANDPOINT. UM THEY'RE GONNA BE THOUGHTFULLY PLANNED INTO THE INTO THE AREAS THERE IN THE RURAL CONTEXT AREA. THIS ONE IS THE MOST AT RISK AND WE HAVE A LOT OF OPEN SPACE. I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY. NATURALLY WANTS THAT WE ALL DO. BUT KEEPING THAT IN THE 20 YEAR CONTEXT IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE IT'S OPEN AS AS PROPERTIES CHANGED HANDS OR PROPERTY OWNERS WANT TO MAKE THOSE DOLLARS AS THE E T J DEVELOPS, BUT NOT THE TOWN LIMITS. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THINGS POP UP NEXT TO YOUR TOWN LIMITS THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SECURE AND THE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE OF JUMPING INTO THE EIGHT J BECOMES SUBSTANTIALLY MORE PROFITABLE. AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE USES POPPING INTO THOSE SPACES THAT WE DON'T WANT IN THOSE AREAS AND WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THAT SO IN ORDER TO MAKE THOSE AREAS ATTRACTIVE FOR PROPERTY OWNERS TO CONVERT AND STAY IN THE ZONING THAT WE WANT , I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO SECURE HIM BY LARGER RANCHES . AND THOSE ARE ACTIVE RANCHES OF THE TYPE THAT YOU SEE. QUESTION RANCH IS THE TYPE OF THINGS YOU SEE OVER IN ARGYLE AND DEEP IN THE 407 TOWARDS BARTON VILLE. THOSE TYPES OF USERS WILL SECURE THAT SPACE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS TO COME. WE NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FIVE ACRE CLUSTERING. RATHER THAN JUST HAVING TRACKS DEVELOPED INTO BLOCKS OF FIVE ACRES, AND IT'S JUST HOMES KIND OF IN A ROW . YOU NEED TO CREATE THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU'VE GOT A LARGE SCALE PIECE OF PROPERTY AND PUT YOU KNOW A COUPLE HOMES IN THE CORNER AND YOU KEEP THE REST AS AN OPEN SPACE THAT'S WITHIN A COMMUNITY THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED NEEDED CONSERVATION AREA. WE'RE GONNA NEED MORE PARKS AND TRAILS SOME SPORTS. THERE ARE SOME OUTDOOR SPORTS THAT COULD BE USEFUL GOLF COMES TO MIND FOR ME. IT'S A LOWER INTENSITY USE, BUT IT KEEPS THE SIDELINES OPEN. UM THAT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE. I'M NOT SURE WE REALLY HAVE A SPOT FOR IT. BUT THAT IS AN EXAMPLE. PARKS AND TRAILS, BASEBALL FIELDS. MAYBE SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
THOSE GIVE YOU LETS YOU TAKE A BIG USE OF LAND SOMEWHERE AND SECURITY FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR LONG TERM AND KEEPS THE TREES AND KEEPS THEM SKIP SOME GREENERY OUT THERE IF YOU SECURE THOSE AREAS WITH THESE TYPES OF USES, YOU CAN KEEP SOME OF WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE LONG TERM RATHER THAN LETTING THAT CONCRETE PLANT DROP INTO THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF THOSE DJS IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR CONSERVATION ZONE. FINALLY THERE'S A FEW USES AND I HAVEN'T REALLY THOUGHT THROUGH THESE. I JUST SCRIBBLED THEM DOWN, SO DON'T DON'T SHOOT ME ON IT. BUT THERE ARE BOUTIQUES AND TRAVEL TYPE PLACES, CAMPGROUNDS, BED AND BREAKFAST TYPE THINGS. CABINS IF YOU SECURE AREAS WITH , YOU KNOW A SMALL UNITS OF THOSE THINGS LIKE ALONG THE CREEK WAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU CAN START TO CREATE ZONES THAT GROW AROUND THOSE AND THOSE TYPES OF USES THAT ARE LESS DENSE. BUT ARE UTILITARIAN AND THEY ALLOW FOR THE PROPERTY TO DEVELOP INSTEAD OF INTO JUST MORE TRACT HOMES, OR EVEN JUST TRACK ACREAGE, ONE ANCHOR HOMES OR EVEN FIVE ACRES. I THINK WE'VE GOT ENOUGH OF EACH TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL STOCK NOW IN THE TOWN. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF UNIQUE RESIDENTIAL STOCK, YOU KNOW, HAVE A LOT OF UNIQUE USES. AND SO WE'VE GOT TO REALLY BE DELIVERED ABOUT WHICH ONES WE WANT AND GET THEM IN THE PLACES THAT ARE REALLY MATTER. OR WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SECURE THESE THINGS THAT WE WANT. WE DO NOT HAVE THE CONTROLS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD 10 OR 20 YEARS AGO TO SECURE THE TYPE OF DESIGN THAT WE WANT, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE MUCH MORE FORWARD THINKING. I KNOW I WANT A LITTLE LONGER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE ON THAT. BUT I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR YOU TO HEAR. SO I DID HAVE ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION FOR YOU. WHAT COULD YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU THINK HIGHER QUALITY RETAILERS WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IN THE URBAN CATEGORY IN THE FUTURE. IT'S PROBABLY EASIER TO SAY WHAT LOWER QUALITY RETAIL IS MCDONALD'S AND POPEYES AND THOSE TYPES OF USES HIGHER QUALITY TO ME. WE STEPPED UP A LITTLE BIT WITH, UM WITH WITH THE ROADHOUSE, BUT WE CAN GO A LITTLE FURTHER THAN THAT. WE CAN GET A SALT GRASS IN THERE OR STEP UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL. YOU JUST MOVING UP IN TERMS OF THAT GETTING PLACES BACK PORCH DRAFTHOUSE IS A REALLY NICE EXAMPLE OF KIND OF A UNIQUE, UNIQUE ONE. THAT'S THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN YOU KNOW, DIET BAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE DON'T WANT I THINK THAT IF YOU WHEN YOU ELEVATE THE QUALITY OF
[01:00:04]
THE COMMERCIAL THAT'S DOWN THERE, AND WE'RE SEEING THAT WITH THERE'S A COUPLE NEW THINGS COMING DOWN THERE THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER QUALITY, LITTLE BIT HIGHER CLASS AND IT WILL DRIVE HIGHER QUALITY RETAIL. WE CAN CREATE A SPACE THAT WE'RE PROUD OF, RATHER THAN JUST A TRUCK. STOP ON THE FREEWAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I WILL START WITH URBAN HERE. I THINK THAT'S BEEN THE CORE OF OUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE IS HAVING THE COMMERCIAL SPACES TO THE SOUTH. THE PLACES THAT DON'T AFFECT OUR RESIDENTS TO PLACES THAT DON'T AFFECT OUR TRAFFIC SO MUCH. SUCH AS YOU KNOW, ABOVE THE SPEEDWAY AND SOME OF THE TILT WALL STUFF. YOU DON'T WANT IT IN YOUR BACKYARD, BUT IT HAS TO BE THERE TO SUPPORT US IN A TAX BASE. SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THAT TAX BASE LOAD. SO AS WE GROW AND WE HAVE MORE RESIDENTS, THE COST OF POLICE WILL GO UP AND THAT'S OUR PRIMARY BUDGET ITEM. SO WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT COMMERCIAL AND QUALITY COMMERCIAL DOESN'T JUST HAVE TO BE A WAREHOUSE. IT CAN BE SOMETHING WITH ACTUAL VALUE TO IT. SO THAT WE CAN OFFSET THOSE COSTS AND KEEP THOSE TAX RATES LOW. YOUR SERVICE COSTS ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE ROOF AND INTENDED 20 YEARS. THEY'RE ALREADY ESCALATING NOW.SUBURBAN. I THINK THAT. A MAN OR MASSIVE PROPERTIES ARE ALREADY CHEWED UP PRETTY GOOD IN THE FACT THAT I DON'T SEE OLD A LOT MORE MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES. WE DON'T HAVE THOSE LARGE TRACTS SO MUCH. BUT WE'RE GONNA SEE SOME SMALLER SCALE ONES. COME IN. I'M SURE AND KEEPS A LOT OF THAT SUBURBAN GROWTH CLOSER 35 ON THOSE COMMERCIAL CORNERS. AWAY FROM THOSE 12 MINUTE AREAS.
AS FAR AS THE WORLD CHANGE IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS, THE PRESERVATION THAT PREVIOUS COUNSEL DID WITH THE CROS IS CRITICAL. THE CLUSTERING IF WE CAN FIND A DEVELOPER WHO ACTUALLY WANTS TO DO IT, IT'S A FANTASTIC IDEA. YOU SEE IT IN NORTHEAST. YOU SEE IT AROUND THE COUNTRY. WE'VE GOT FOUR HOMES FOR FARM HOUSES, CORNER CORNER CORNER. THERE YOU GO, 600 ACRES AROUND RIGHT, CLUSTERING. WE CAN DO THAT ON DIFFERENT SCALE. BUT DEVELOPERS ARE SCARED. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT CONCEPT. WE HAVE TO MARKET THAT RATE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT PRESERVATION BIG DARK SKIES IN THE NORTH. AREAS THOSE ARE THINGS THAT CAN KEEP THAT CHARACTER. SO I DON'T SEE THE RURAL SIDE CHANGING THAT MUCH OTHER AND MORE PRESERVATION EFFORTS. THANK YOU. I WENT TO PARIS LAST WEEK. WE DON'T HAVE ANY URBAN IN MY MIND. THAT'S WHAT I SEE WHEN I WAS HERE, RIGHT AND IT IS. IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN SO IN MY MIND THAT THE SUBURBAN SIDE IS THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS GOING TO HAPPEN IN 35 COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ON 1 14 AND SOME OF THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL AND SOME OF THAT OR NOT.
35 QUARTER. WE'VE GOT SECTIONS THAT ARE FLOWER MOUNTAIN SECTIONS THAT ARE OKAY. J UTJ ARE VILE. YOU CAN'T REALLY CONTROL SOME OF THAT. THE RANGE. HOLD ON NORTH SIDE OF ROBSON RANCH. WE CAN'T CONTROL THAT IT'S GOING TO BE RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF TOWN, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE IN A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF SUBURBAN DEVELOPMENT, COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE YES, YOU KNOW. CROSSING THE LINE BETWEEN THE CENTER OF TOWN SO TO SPEAK ON DOWN 35, THEN ON THE RANCH PRESERVATION ZONE, RIGHT? I DEFINITELY I SEE SOME LARGER PIECES OF PROPERTY GETTING DEVELOPED AS 135 ACRES STUFF. IF WE CAN PUSH THAT, IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WOULD BE GREAT, BUT WE CAN SAY WE WANT TO PRESERVE ALL WE WANT, BUT WE CANNOT CONTROL WHEN SOME OF THOSE PROPERTIES CHANGED HANDS. AND PERSON THAT BUYS IT. YOU KNOW IF IT GOES TO A CHILD, AND THE CHILD DOESN'T WANT TO BE RAISING COWS. WE'RE GOING TO SELL IT TO A DEVELOPER , ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY IT RIGHT. THERE'S NOBODY OUT THERE. JUST BUYING TO BECOME COWBOYS RANCHERS THAT EXIST ANYMORE. DAYS, LIKE SO IT TO ME. REALLY GOOD POINT, BUT YOU KNOW THE A LOT OF THOSE PROPERTIES WHEN WE SAW THAT, WITH THE THOUGHT RANCH, RIGHT, SOLD TO A DEVELOPER AT A PRICE POINT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO KEEP COWS ON. AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE FIVE ACRE LOTS, WHICH IS GREAT THAT WE MANAGED TO KEEP IT AT FIVE, BUT THE WHOLE RANCH PRESERVATION ZONE IS GOING TO GO THAT WAY. AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER. JUST HOW LONG CAN WE HOLD IT OFF? CAN WE USE SOME OF THE GREAT IDEAS THE MAYOR HAS IN THE FLOODPLAIN CABINS AND CLUSTERING OF OTHER THINGS, AND DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.
BUT WE CAN SAVE PRESERVED, BUT WE CAN'T JUST STOP 100 ACRE PROPERTY. I'M SELLING AND NOT BEING 100 ACRE PROPERTY ANYMORE. UNLESS THE TOWN WANTS TO BUY IT. EVERYBODY WANT THEIR TAXES RAISED. MM HMM. THANK YOU. I'LL SEE MY VISION. 20 YEARS WOULD BE THE URBAN WOULD BE MIXED USE SOMEWHERE. DOWN CENTER. MAYBE LOST UP TOP RETAIL DOWN BOTTOM. WALKABLE. ATTRACTIONS AND WE KEEP RESIDENTS IN NORTH, CLAYTON SAID, GOING TO OTHER TOWNS. SHOP OR DYING, OR WAS HE A MOVIE OR
[01:05:05]
WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE, AND THAT'S SLOWLY TRANSITIONS. NORTH SUBURBAN, WHICH WE CURRENTLY HAVE AND THAT WAS IN THE SERVICE, BUT I DON'T SEE A WHOLE LOT OF ROOM FOR MORE. YOU KNOW, MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES. BUT I THINK WE CAN MERGE THE SUBURBAN AND RURAL WITH THE TRAIL SYSTEM OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. PLACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO SPEND TIME OUTDOORS THAT MIGHT ALSO CONNECT THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE TOWN. KEEP IT DOWN AT 1, 14 AND 35. KEEP THE SUBURBAN CLOSER TO 35. THEY SAID WHEN IT SELLS, CONSIDER TRYING TO KEEP IT IN THE BIGGER CHUNKS AS MUCH AS WE CAN. WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE SO THAT IT DOESN'T. YEAH.RURAL SUBURBAN URBAN 20 YEARS ONCE THE SAME. STATUS QUO. YES. LITTLE SUBURBAN.
CALLING AROUND PARKS IN HIGHLIGHTING THAT RULE DEAL HAVING THAT DESTINATION. MANY FOCUSING ON GETTING AT LEAST WANT TO MAKE PART SYSTEMS WHERE THE KIDS FOOTBALL. NOT A CHOICE.
COUNT GREW SEVEN FEW COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. YEAH, THANK YOU. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. THAT STRIDE.
NO. YEAH. AND THEN. AND THEN. YEP. GREAT. THANK YOU.
OBVIOUSLY. SOME HARD CONVERSATIONS TO HAVE LOOKING FORWARD, AND WE CAN'T PREDICT A LOT OF THINGS. BUT THIS IS A REALLY HELPFUL EXERCISE FOR US. IT WILL HELP INFORM THE FUTURE LAND USE DIRECTION AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, AND IT'S JUST GOOD TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOU HOPE TO EXPECT. SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. SO WE'VE GOT ONE MORE EXERCISE HERE. IT'S THE LAST PINK POSTED AGAIN. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF BULLET POINTS APPEAR . THE LAST ONE IS REALLY THE KEY ONE THAT SHARE ONE WORD OR PHRASE TO DESCRIBE YOUR VISION FOR NORTH LAKE IN 20 YEARS AND AGAIN TAKE A MOMENT TO JUST READ THESE OTHER PROMPTS AND WE'LL GO OVER IT AGAIN. AND JUST TO SIMPLY SAY WHAT? HOW WOULD YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE THE COMMUNITY IN THE FUTURE? JUST LIKE WE DID WITH OUR OPENING PROMPTED? HOW DID YOU DESCRIBE IT TODAY? SO A WORD OR PHRASE TO ENCAPSULATE THAT, SO JUST TAKE A MINUTE OR SO TO DO THAT? OH, HELPING OUT.
IT SHOULD BE THE PINK POSTED HIS EVERYONE. DOES ANYONE NEED TO POST IT?
[01:10:58]
AND THEN WHEN WE'RE READY, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND START WITH THE MAYOR CLOSE OUT. THE UNIVERSE.NO PROBLEM. ALRIGHT ON THE TOPIC OF WHAT ARE THE TOP PARTIES ISSUES? NORTHLAKE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS. I DO THINGS OWNING AND CONTROL. THAT'S GONNA WE'RE GONNA DEAL WITH THAT ON EVERY SINGLE PROPERTY ALL THE WAY TO BUILD OUT AND EVEN BEYOND BECAUSE BY THE TIME IT BUILDS OUT WILL BE REDEVELOPING OTHER PARTS OF THE TOWN. UM THE OTHER IS CAPITAL CAPITAL IS JUST IT'S A PROBLEM FOR GOVERNMENTS EVERYWHERE, BUT BECAUSE WE'RE DEVELOPING NOW, INSTEAD OF 50 YEARS AGO, THE CAPITAL TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE IS GOING TO BE EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT AMOUNT OF MONEY IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO BUILD OUT THIS TOWN IS STUNNING. UM I THINK THE CHANGES OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS IT'S BUILDING OUT ITS CONSTRUCTION. IT'S CHANGE TRYING TO JUST IMAGINE A LIFESTYLE THAT LIVES THROUGH THAT CHANGE. THAT'S THAT'S A LITTLE SOBERING GONNA HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOW TO HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT. I DO THINK OUR DEMOGRAPHICS WILL CHANGE PRETTY SUBSTANTIALLY OVER THAT TIME PERIOD. AS SOME OF THE INITIAL NEIGHBORHOODS GET OLDER , THE INCOMES WILL CHANGE AS THEY ARE REPLACED WITH FOLKS THAT, YOU KNOW, MOVE OUT, HAVING BUILT THEM AND GROWN UP THERE AND OTHERS WILL COME IN. I DO SEE THAT CHANGING SOMEWHAT, ESPECIALLY AS THE AREA TO OUR NORTHWEST DEVELOPS WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF POPULATION MOVING INTO THOSE AREAS. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BECOME THE LEAPFROG. AND IN FACT, IF WE DO IT, RIGHT, UM PROBABLY THE COMMUNITIES WILL PROBABLY BE FAIR AMOUNT OF DENSITY TO OUR WEST IN THE END. IF WE HOLD THE LINE AND KEEP IT FROM COMING TO US, SO WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE ISLAND OF YOU HAVE EXACTLY THE WORD FOR THAT. WE CAN CREATE A LITTLE ISLAND OF PEACE AND QUIET HOPEFULLY UM WHO? WHAT DO YOU THINK WE HAVE THE GREATEST INFLUENCE. I THINK THE ECONOMY IS GOING TO HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON US BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T AFFECT FINANCE AND INTEREST RATES AND CAPITAL AND WE HAVE A MOMENT IN TIME TO GET THIS RIGHT. WE CAN'T SIT ON IT FOR 20 YEARS AND THEN JUST BE LIKE WE'LL DO THIS ANOTHER DAY LIKE IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE WE'RE HERE AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BRING IT ALL TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT WORKS. BECAUSE IF WE STRUGGLE TO GET THE ROADS WHILE WE'RE BUILDING OUT, WILL BE KNOWN FOR THAT IF WE STRUGGLE TO GET THE RIGHT THINGS AND THE RIGHT, HE AMENDED AMENITIES THAT'S THE OTHER ONE I HAVE ON HERE IS KEY AMENITIES AND IDENTITY. UM EVERY TOWN AROUND US THAT IS VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL. HAS HAD A VERY SPECIFIC IDENTITY THAT THEY HELD TO AND THEY DID FIND THEMSELVES BY ROANOKE. THAT'S A CLASSIC EXAMPLE. LANTANA HAS ONE THAT MAY NOT BE YOURS, BUT IT'S VERY SUBURBAN, BUT LANTANA HAS AN IDENTITY. BARTON VILLE HAS AN IDENTITY FLOWER MOUND HAS AN IDENTITY. THEY HAVE A WHOLE CONSERVATION ZONE IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN. THEY'VE BECOME KNOWN FOR THE FLOWER MOUND, THEY BECOME KNOWN FOR SOMETHING. OTHER EVEN URBAN CITIES AROUND THE DFW METRO HAVE IDENTITIES AND WE HAVEN'T YET DECLARED HOURS. WE KNOW WHAT WE KIND OF ARE. WE HAVEN'T DECLARED IT AND SHOWING IT TO THE WORLD AND LIKE THIS IS EVERYTHING AROUND THIS IDENTITY OF WHAT NEEDS TO COME HERE. THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE YET. AND FINALLY, I THINK THIS THIS SUMMARIZES WHAT HE JUST SAID.
BUT THE WORD I'M USING TO DESCRIBE MY VISION AS INTENTIONAL. WE JUST NEED TO BE I WON'T EVEN FIND IT ANYMORE. YOU NEED TO BE INTENTIONAL. THANK YOU. I WON'T BE AS LONG WINDED HERE, BUT IT'S WE REALLY DO LIKE EACH OTHER. UM DESCRIPTION IS JUST WELL PLANNED AND DEFINED. IT WERE SUCH A RISK OF SPRAWL IN THE Z T J ISLANDS, AND IT'S PARAMOUNT THAT WE FIND A WAY TO WORK WITH THAT, EITHER THROUGH TEXAS STATE LEGISLATURE OR OTHER PLACES, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE OUR LARGEST CHALLENGE AS WE SEE STUFF POP UP ON 407. LIKE THE STORAGE ACROSS FROM PECAN SQUARE. NOBODY PLANNED FOR THAT BOOM. ONE DAY IT'S THERE. BECAUSE WE CAN'T HELP THAT. UM
[01:15:01]
THE PRIORITIES ECHO THE MAYOR. THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE IS SO KEY IN THE FUNDING FOR IT IS JUST THANKS OPTIONAL CHALLENGE. THAT WE'RE GOING TO FACE BECAUSE ONCE WERE BUILT OUT. WE'RE IMMEDIATELY GOING TO TURN AROUND AND START REPAIRING. WE'RE REPAIRING ROADS. THERE ARE THREE OR FOUR YEARS OLD WHEN THEY SHOULD BE 20 YEARS. CHALLENGE WITH THOSE THINGS. SKIP THE FIRST FOUR BECAUSE I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO DO THEM SO WELL, SO, UM , YEAH, THE 20 YEAR VISION IS PLANNED. INTENTIONAL IS A BETTER WORD. I THINK IT'S BETTER IF THE SOURCE THAN I AM AND, UH, BUT I THINK PLANNED, RIGHT? I WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK BACK AT THE TOWN AND GO. WOW IT WAS GOOD THAT SOMEBODY THOUGHT OF THAT, RIGHT? WHATEVER THAT WAS RIGHT, SO THAT THAT I THINK IS THE BIGGEST THING IS, CAN WE CAN WE THINK OF ALL THE THINGS AND PLAYING THOSE THINGS OUT SO THAT THINGS GO IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, AND EVERYTHING ENDS UP LOOKING VERY INTENTIONAL. BUT E. T. J IS SUCH A AN UNCONTROLLABLE SPACE THAT WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO FIX THAT. MY PHRASE WOULD BE QUALITY OF LIFE. JUST FOCUS ON MAKE SURE THAT. THE TOWN HAS THE RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN HAVE EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED WHETHER THAT BE FROM YOUTH SPORTS, TOO. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, THE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES MAKING SURE THAT THERE ARE DISTINCT DIFFERENT AREAS OF TOWN BASED ON WHAT SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE. ALL THOSE THINGS ARE DONE. INTENTIONALITY SO ARE YOU READY? OUR TOP PRIORITY IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN AGING POPULATION. THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE 20 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME WILL BE MAIDS THEN AND I'LL BE NEARLY 100. SO UH, YEAH . YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE HOW MANY OF US WILL STILL WANT TO BE HERE? 20 YEARS FROM NOW, AND PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY, WILL OUR KIDS WANT TO BE HERE? 20 YEARS FROM NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING HERE THAT WILL MAKE THEM WANT TO I WANT TO MOVE HERE. DANNY AND I BOTH HAVE A SON. IT'S ABOUT 40. WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME SON. BUT WE SORRY WE EACH HAVE A SON THAT, YOU KNOW. WELL, THEY WON'T LIVE HERE ONE OF THESE DAYS. AND WE NEED TO THINK OF THAT, AND WE NEED TO HAVE GOOD LEADERSHIP TO GET US THERE. GET THEM FIRST FIGHT CRIME NOW WE'RE SERVING THIS WHOLE NORTHERN END ON I 35 OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE TO SPEND ALL KINDS OF TIME OUT THERE CHECKING CRIMINALS COMING THROUGH. WE'RE SEEING QUITE A BIT OF CRIME RIGHT ON NORTH OF US HERE. PEOPLE NEED TO BE EDUCATED TO QUIT, LEAVING THEIR GUNS AND THEIR MONEY AND THEIR UNLOCKED CAR AND WE NEED TO STOP THAT, BECAUSE NOTHING TEARS IT DOWN, TEARS DOWN A TOWN QUICKER THAN A POOR REPUTATION FOR CRIME ENFORCEMENT. WE HAVE A GREAT POLICE DEPARTMENT, SO WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE AS LEADERSHIP THAT WE NEED TO FUND IT TO A VERY REASONABLE LEVEL SO THAT THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO DO WHAT WE EXPECT THEM TO DO LIKE THEY'RE JUST NOW COMING OUT WITH THE LICENSE PLATE READERS. THAT'S A BIG STEP. HAD WE HAD THOSE THREE WEEKS AGO, WE WENT AHEAD A GUY THAT HIT HALF THE HOUSES IN PRAIRIE VIEW FARM. THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME AND QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP ALONG THE NEXT 20 YEARS. THANK YOU, HILLARY. DO YOU WANT TO. IT'S JUST GONNA BE A EXPENSIVE. THE SCREEN AREAS CHANGED. SO. THANK YOU. YEAH, THEY HAVE. AND SO.MHM. HMM. WHAT PEOPLE SPORTS COMING. LITTLE. FOR THE BUSINESS JUST COHESIVE FOR THE ALREADY TODAY. HOW DO I SEE NORTHLAND CHANGING. I GREW UP IN TOP FELL AND NOT WATCHING THIS HAPPEN LIKE THAT KID IN TONIGHT. THIS IS HAPPENING JUST LIKE THAT. AND SO I THINK THAT MORE CHALLENGES
[01:20:03]
IS FINDING THAT IDENTITY. FINDING THAT ONE THING THAT WE WANT TO LOOK LIKE KIND OF THE BEAST THAT HUB FOR FOCUSED ON THE LAST TIME. SAFE AND AFFORDABLE PLACE. NOTHING IS GONNA BE CRYING IN 20 YEARS. DON'T SQUARE APARTMENT AFRICA. THREE YEARS OF PEOPLE THINK ABOUT POLITICS CHANGE IN THIS COUNTY. THANKS. I HOPE THAT THE RUNWAY SYSTEM.VERY SIMPLE. SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE IS OUR COUNSELORS. IN THE STATE AND LOCAL MHM. KEEP THAT GOING IN THE DIRECTION THAT WE WANT. PLANE. RIGHT? SUNNY. GOOD. ME THE PHRASE JUST REALLY ALL THEIR STATE STAKEHOLDERS ARE SORT OF WEALTH. DIFFERENCES. RELATED TO THE PLANT AND INTENTIONAL. OKAY? EVERYTHING. NEIGHBORHOOD. I WOULD LIKE. TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN BE HAVING OUTSTANDING MOVIES. NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE RESEARCHERS ME. THEY WOULD SEE HIM DRIVING. BUT I ALSO NEED TO HAVE THE TIME TO DEAL WITH. YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO WATCH. 20 YEARS. PART OF THE BIGGEST THING POINT. I THINK IT'S RIGHT IN THIS ROOM. PEOPLE LIKE US. YOUR BOSS MECHANICS TOGETHER. TO DESCRIBE THE VISION. FOR ME. THE TOP PRIMARIES ARE GOING TO BE A PARTNERSHIPS, PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS.
BEING VERY SOFT. IDENTIFIABLE. LIKE AS YOU TRANSITION. UM AND SO FROM THE HMM HMM. HMM. WITHIN THE TOWN OF WAR FIGURE STILL, YOU STILL HAVE THAT SAME FIELD. THANK YOU. SORRY.
I SEE IT CHANGE. HOW WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THEY WERE ON RATHER NOT NECESSARILY. HIS WATER. KEEP THE SHIPS HERE. RIGHT DIRECTION. VIOLATION. HMM. CHECK PEOPLE. THAT'S COOL. YOU HAVE TO STAY THAT WAY. THE FIRST COUPLE OF BULLETS, BUT MY CATCHPHRASE WITH MY GREAT WOMAN WORD PHRASE WOULD BE EXCITING EXAMPLE INVOLVES THE NEXT ONE. OKAY, AWESOME. JUST A MATTER OF CLARIFICATION. I
[01:25:05]
TALKED ABOUT THOSE LICENSE PLATE READERS. THOSE ARE THANKS TO THAT. COUNTY MINISTER AND A COUNCIL ALREADY ON ORDER FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES. JUST A MATTER OF GETTING OVER HERE.THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS WERE GOING TO RAP ABOUT PRESENTATION HEARING THAT PASS THIS BACK TO KENDALL AND AGAIN. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND LOOK FORWARD TO PARTNERING WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
SO YEAH. AS KELSEY MENTIONED, ALL THIS INPUT IS GOING TO BE REALLY CRITICAL TO HELP FORM THE OVERALL VISION AND PRIORITIES FOR THE PLAN. SO WE DO HAVE A FEW MORE COMMUNITY FACING ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS DURING THIS VISIONING PHASE. WE DO HAVE A PROJECT WEBSITE NORTHLAKE NEXT .COM. SO IF YOU'RE TECH SAVVY, YOU CAN SCAN THE QR CODE. THERE. WE HAVE A LARGER VERSION ON THE NEXT SLIDE. BUT THAT WEBSITE IS GOING TO BE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO ANNOUNCE ALL THE UPCOMING ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES POST THINGS AS THE PLAN PROGRESSES, SO DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THAT, UM, THE BEGINNING ON APRIL 3RD WE WILL HAVE A COMMUNITY WIDE SURVEY AVAILABLE, SO THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ONLINE SURVEY THAT ANYONE IS ABLE TO TAKE. UM, ALSO ON APRIL 3RD, WE WILL HAVE A TOWN HALL MEETING. UM THAT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TO INTRODUCE THEM TO THE PROCESS AND GET SOME FEEDBACK. WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO A FORMAT LIKE THIS WILL HAVE SOME STATIONS AROUND THE ROOM WHERE PEOPLE CAN PROVIDE THEIR FEEDBACK AND INTERACT WITH THE PROJECT TEAM. AND THEN WE WILL BE, UM, REQUESTING SOME ADDITIONAL TIME MOVING FORWARD WITH THE COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO PARTICIPATE IN SOME ADDITIONAL WORKSHOPS, AND THEN MANY OF YOU ARE A FEW OF YOU ARE ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE. THERE WILL BE SOME ADDITIONAL, UH, STEERING COMMITTEE MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. SO WITH THAT, UM WE'D BE HAPPY TO TAKING A FINAL QUESTIONS. BUT AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UM, OF THE REALLY GREAT INPUTS THAT YOU PROVIDED TONIGHT. I HAVE TO SAY IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE WITH PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES HERE WITH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HERE LONG TIME, SOME VERY NEW RESIDENTS AS WELL. IT'S AMAZING TO ME THAT THE COHESIVENESS IN THE THOUGHT PROCESS YOU'D THINK THERE'D BE A LOT OF VERY WIDE RANGE OF WANTS AND DESIRES. FIRST TOWN. AND WHAT I'M HEARING IS, THERE'S A LOT OF SIMILARITIES BETWEEN EVERYBODY, AND THAT'S VERY ENCOURAGING FOR HIS PROCESS. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR VOLUNTEERING TO SERVE ON THIS TO HELP WITH THIS PROCESS AND THE BOARDS AND COMMITTEES THAT YOU SERVE ON TODAY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE GOT SOME GREAT BRAINPOWER INITIALLY. I CAN REPEAT IT, BUT I BET YOU HEARD IT. I SAID, WE HAVE SOME GREAT BRAIN POWER IN THIS ROOM. AND AS BRIAN SAID, WE THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I JUST WANT TO ECHO WITH THE MAYOR PRO TEM SAID. THERE IS A TRULY EXTRAORDINARILY VALUABLE THING GOING ON HERE, THAT THE FABRIC OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THERE BEING DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT INTENTIONS OF DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND DIFFERENT FEEL AND DIFFERENT CULTURAL LITTLE BIT, BUT THERE ARE SOME SIMILAR THEMES THAT ARE RUNNING THROUGH ALL OF THEM, AND PART OF THAT IS DUE TO THE COMMUNICATION. THE PARTNERSHIP IN THIS ROOM. A LOT OF YOU HAVE WORKED TOGETHER ON BOARDS TOGETHER. YOU'VE LEARNED ABOUT EACH OTHER AND YOU'VE BEEN ADVOCATES BACK IN YOUR COMMUNITIES AND YOU'VE BROUGHT BACK THOSE THEMES YOU HAVE DEFINED AND YOU HAVE HELPED STITCHES COMMUNITY TOGETHER. IN A WAY THAT IT HASN'T HAD IN A WHILE. AND SO CONTINUE THAT PROCESS. CONTINUE THE PROCESS OF SHARING WHAT'S GOING ON.
CONTINUE THE PROCESS OF INFORMING PEOPLE INFORMATION EDUCATION IS KEY TO PEOPLE BEING SATISFIED WITH WHERE THEY LIVE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT'S COMING. THEY KNOW HOW IT'S WORKING. THEY KNOW HOW IT SHOULD WORK OR HOW IT SHOULDN'T WORK AND HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS.
YOU'RE HUGE CHAMPIONS AND ADVOCATES FOR EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON HERE AS WELL. AS FOR YOUR IDEAS, BRINGING YOUR COMMUNITIES IDEAS BACK THAT HELPS US HAVE A STABLE COMMUNITY THAT HELPS US HAVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE WE WANT. SO CONTINUE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. THANK YOU VERY VOLUNTEERISM. THANK YOU FOR THE HOURS. THIS IS A GREAT PROCESS TO BE A PART OF IT IS A PRIVILEGE, BUT YOU'RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. YOU'RE YOU'RE STITCHING AND YOU'RE BUILDING A COMMUNITY. YOU'RE HELPING THE MELTING POT. THAT IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ARE A NEW MELTING POT. I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY THINGS ABOUT NORTH LAKE IS PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND EVEN A LITTLE BIT FROM AROUND THE WORLD, AND THEY'RE COMING HERE AND LEARNING TO FORGE A NEW IDENTITY TOGETHER AROUND THESE THEMES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT IF WE LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT THOSE ARE AND CAN'T COMMUNICATE THEM, THEY'LL BE FORGOTTEN QUICKLY IN THE RACE FOR THE NEXT THING THAT PEOPLE WANT, SO HELP MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THIS COMMUNITY IS INTENDED FOR. AND
[01:30:04]
THEY'LL GET TO KNOW IT AND THEY'LL EITHER ACCEPTED OR REJECTED. BUT IF THEY'RE GOING TO REJECT THAT, THEY PROBABLY WON'T STAY HERE. AND THOSE THAT ACCEPT IT WILL STAY AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO. IF WE WANT TO SECURE THE FUTURE, EVERYBODY WHO COMES HERE THAT'S GROWING WITH US NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. WE'RE DOING. AND KNOW HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN GETTING US THERE. THAT'S WHAT I'LL GET THIS DONE AND MAKE THIS VISION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A REALITY. SO I THINK I'LL STOP THERE. BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL OF YOU TONIGHT. I DON'T REALLY NEED TO CLOSE OUT MEETING . SAME WAY WE STARTED. ALRIGHT UNLESS THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT ANYBODY WANTS TO SAY THE TOWN COUNCIL MEETINGS SPECIAL MEETING WILL CONSIDER ITSELF ADJOURNED BY GENERAL CONSENT. SIX AFTERNOON. AND WE STAND ADJOURNED.* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
