[1. CALL TO ORDER]
[00:00:08]
HAVE 5:31 P.M. WELCOME, EVERYONE, TO THIS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
[2.A. Briefing - Development proposals for the 42.39-acre Coyote Hill LLC property at 1300 Strader Road ]
TONIGHT. WE WILL BEGIN WITH ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PROCLAMATIONS. NATHAN, ARE YOU READY TO PRESENT? YES. I'LL KICK THIS ONE OFF AND THEN I'LL TURN IT OVER TO A COUPLE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES FOR THIS PROPERTY AND A POTENTIAL PROJECT ON THE PROPERTY. THIS IS 42 ACRE PROPERTY OFF A STRAIGHTER ROAD CALLED COYOTE HILL RANCH. IT'S. PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY LISTED FOR SALE. THE OWNER, REAL ESTATE AGENT AND POTENTIAL BUYERS HAVE RECENTLY MET WITH TOWN STAFF TO DISCUSS OPPORTUNITIES FOR USES OF THE PROPERTY AND POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE BEFORE YOU. THIS IS A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY WHERE IT IS IN TOWN, THAT NORTHWEST QUADRANT OFF OF STREET OR ROAD. HOG BRANCH RUNS THROUGH IT. AND SO ALONG WITH THAT COMES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FLOODPLAIN. THERE'S YOU ALSO SEE UP IN THAT NORTHWEST CORNER A GAS WELL PAD SITE. THERE'S MULTIPLE STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING A HOME. RIGHT NOW, IT'S PRIMARILY AG USE, PROPERTY, ZONED AGRICULTURAL. AND THIS IT'S KNOWN AS COYOTE HILL RANCH AND WAS A FORMER EVENT VENUE AT ONE TIME. THIS PROPERTY IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS DESIGNATED AS RURAL RESERVE ON THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. WITHIN THAT COMP PLAN THAT CALLS FOR MINIMUM LOT SIZES FROM 5 TO 20 ACRES WITH POINT TWO DWELLING UNIT PER ACRE AVERAGE DENSITY. IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR ONE ACRE LOTS THAT COULD BE ALLOWED THROUGH CLUSTERED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. IF THAT 0.2 DWELLING UNIT AVERAGE DENSITY IS MAINTAINED. SO THAT'S ONE UNIT PER FIVE ACRES, WHICH WE LOOK FOR IN OUR RURAL RESIDENTIAL RURAL RESERVE AREA. THE CURRENT ZONING IS IS AGRICULTURAL, WHICH IS A 20 ACRE MINIMUM LOT SIZE. IT ALLOWS FOR AG USES, OF COURSE, AS WELL AS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE. IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR CHURCHES WITH APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. SO IT TAKES AN EXTRA STEP. THAT SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ALLOWS FOR CONDITIONS TO BE PLACED ON IT, SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT THAT USE FITS THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY AND THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA. THERE'S ALSO AN OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT THIS PROPERTY IS INCLUDED IN THAT ALLOWS FOR CLUSTERED DEVELOPMENT BY RIGHT, ALLOWING A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF TWO ACRES WITH THAT SAME ONE UNIT PER FIVE ACRES. POINT TWO DWELLING UNIT PER ACRE, AVERAGE DENSITY AND PRESERVATION OF THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY BEING AT LEAST 40%. OPEN SPACE. SO THERE'S BEEN A POTENTIAL CHURCH USER THAT REQUESTED THIS BRIEFING.AFTER MEETING WITH THEM, THEY WANTED TO KIND OF PRESENT THEIR VISION FOR THE PROPERTY BEFORE POTENTIALLY MOVING FORWARD WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST. SO IT JUST LIKE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM YOU AS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONERS, AND THEN THEY MAY COME BACK PURSUING THAT SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. THE REAL ESTATE AGENT FOR THE PROPERTY IS HERE ALSO, AND THEY WILL GO OVER SOME POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS IF THE CHURCH DOESN'T WORK OUT.
SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF OPTIONS ON HERE, AND IT'LL BE JUST GOOD TO KIND OF GET YOUR FEEDBACK OVERALL ON THAT. I WANTED TO SHOW YOU A FEW PHOTOS OF THE PROPERTY SO YOU CAN KIND OF GET A FEEL FOR IT. SO THESE ARE SOME, SOME GOOD AERIAL VIEWS OF IT. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE STRUCTURES, EXISTING STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY. AND NOW I WILL TURN IT OVER TO PASTOR KEVIN.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THERE'S THAT. YOU CAN USE THIS OR YOU CAN USE THE ARROWS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'M PASTOR KEVIN, MY WIFE, PASTOR DIANA. WE STARTED OVERFLOW LIFE CHURCH.
[00:05:02]
JUST TO GIVE YOU A BACKGROUND OF WHO WE ARE AND WHY WE GOD CALLED US OUT TO THIS COUNTRY.SO I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING, BUT WE'RE ALSO A CHURCH, SO WE LIKE TO SEE LIVES CHANGED. WE LIKE TO SEE GOD MOVE. WE LIKE TO SEE A GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN PEOPLE'S LIVES. AND USUALLY WHEN A WHEN YOU SEE A CHURCH COMES IN, A LOT OF GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN PEOPLE'S LIVES AND IN FAMILIES. SO WE STARTED OVERFLOW LIFE. CHURCH BACKGROUND IS ENGINEERING. SO I DO HAVE MY PE LICENSE. SO ANY ENGINEERING QUESTIONS, I'LL REFER THEM TO NATHAN, YOU KNOW, SO BUT WE STARTED OVERFLOW LIFE CHURCH, MY WIFE AND I. AND THE VISION OF OUR CHURCH IS THAT GOD HAS A PLAN AND YOU HAVE A PURPOSE. AND THAT IS OUR VISION FOR OUT HERE IN NORTH LAKE. WE MOVED OUT TO NORTH LAKE LAST YEAR, AND WE ARE IN A WAREHOUSE NEXT TO THE VOLLEYBALL COMPLEX. SO WE HAVE OUR, OUR OUR FACILITY THERE. BUT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, OUR, OUR LEASE ENDS BECAUSE WE'RE LEASING RIGHT NOW. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER LOCATION. SO WE DO HAVE OUR TRACK SHOES ON FOR THE NEXT LOCATION. AGAIN, THE VISION OF OUR CHURCH IS THAT GOD HAS A PLAN AND YOU HAVE A PURPOSE. IT'S BASED ON JOHN 1010. WE HAVE FIVE FOUNDATIONAL VALUES. I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS, BUT AGAIN, WE WANTED TO, TO GIVE YOU A VISION OF WE PUT THIS TOGETHER EVEN BEFORE WE WERE ASKING ABOUT BUILDING A CHURCH. SO LOVE, JOY, FAITH, ABUNDANCE, AND WISDOM, ALL BASED ON GOD'S WORD AND SCRIPTURE. AND THEN WE HAVE THE FIVE PILLARS OF OVERFLOW LIFE, WHICH THEY ALL START WITH P. SO IT'S PLAN, PURPOSE, POWER, PEOPLE AND PRAYER. AGAIN, ALL BASED ON SCRIPTURE AND ABOUT CHANGING PEOPLE'S LIVES AND FAMILIES FOR GOD'S KINGDOM. THAT ALL BUILDS A HOUSE. SO WE PRESENT THIS TO OUR CHURCH. SO THE CORNERSTONE VISION IS AT THE BOTTOM. WE HAVE THE FIVE THAT WE BUILD THE FOUNDATION OF LOVE, JOY, FAITH, PATIENCE, AND WISDOM. THEN WE HAVE THE COLUMNS OF PLANNED PURPOSE, POWER, PEOPLE, AND PRAYER. AND THEN FINALLY, WHAT IS IT ALL BUILD? IT BUILDS FREEDOM IN PEOPLE'S HOMES. SO THAT IS THE KIND OF THE THE GIST OF OVERFLOW LIFE CHURCH. I ALSO PUT ONE OF OUR PICTURES. SO THIS IS WHAT THE PROPERTY IS RIGHT NOW AND THIS IS WHAT WE INTEND TO HAVE IT. WE CONTINUE TO HAVE IT WITH CATTLE ON THE LAND AND AND JONAH. JONAH. JONAH TOOK THIS PICTURE. SO AGAIN, WE KEEP PLANNING TO KEEP THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY IN THE STATE THAT IT'S IN NOW WITH CATTLE ON THE LAND, WITH HORSES ON THE LAND ALSO. SO AGAIN, NATHAN POINTED OUT THAT THERE'S THAT GAS WELL, WHICH IS IN THE DISTANCE HERE, AND THERE'S A DROP OFF THAT WHOLE BOTTOM LAND, WHICH IS ALSO MAJORITY OF FLOOD PLAN. WE PLAN TO KEEP IT WITH THE THE CURRENT CONDITION IN NOW WITH TREES. AND WE PLAN TO HAVE CATTLE OUT THERE AND, YOU KNOW, HORSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT THEN WE ALSO GOT TO PUT A CHURCH OUT THERE TOO, BECAUSE WE GOTTA HAVE PEOPLE ON SUNDAY, RIGHT? SO THIS IS KIND OF A PICTURE OF WHAT WE SEE OUT THERE. WE A LOT OF THEM ARE BLACK AND WHITE, BUT WE KIND OF LIKE BLUE OUT THERE. THIS IS MY DIANE IS THE DECORATOR. SO HER BACKGROUND IS COMMUNICATIONS, BUT SHE'S VERY GOOD AT DECORATING. SO IF YOU EVER NEED YOUR HOUSE DECORATED, YOU CAN CALL PASTOR DUNN. AND THEN ON THE PROPERTY ITSELF, SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE ON THE PROPERTY. WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP AS MUCH AS THE GREEN LAND GREEN, BUT WE ALSO WE KNOW THAT THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO PUT IT UP ON THE FRONT PART BECAUSE THIS IS THE BUILDABLE AREA. SO THIS IS KIND OF AN IDEA OF WHAT THE CHURCH MIGHT LOOK. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS VERY PRELIMINARY, BUT ALSO KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE DRIVING BY. AND THE ROAD, LOOK, THE ROAD, LOOK HOW GREAT THAT ROAD IS FOR ALL THE ROAD PEOPLE OUT HERE. WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A NICE, CLEAN FOUR LANE ROAD OUT THERE AS WELL. SO THE GOAL IS TO KEEP IT AS MUCH ROW AS WE CAN, AS WELL AS SERVE THE COMMUNITY OF NORTH LAKE, SO THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE, NATHAN, BUT THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. SO NEXT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE REAL ESTATE AGENT WHO'S GOT SOME CONCEPT PLANS FOR HOW THIS COULD BE LAID OUT, DOING THAT KIND OF CLUSTER CONSERVATION, RESIDENTIAL OVERLAY DEVELOPMENT. BUT BEFORE I HAND IT OVER, I WANT TO TALK A COUPLE OTHER THINGS ABOUT THIS PROPERTY. PASTOR KEVIN MENTIONED THE ROAD IN FRONT OF IT. CURRENTLY, IT'S A TWO LANE ROAD. YOU'VE GOT TO DODGE POTHOLES OFTEN ON IT. SO THE THIS ON OUR MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN, STRAIGHTER ROAD IS CALLED FOR AS A FOUR LANE DIVIDED FOUR LANES, TWO IN EACH DIRECTION WITH A MEDIAN. THE COUNTY ACTUALLY HAS A PROJECT WHERE THEY'RE PLANNING TO REBUILD THAT AND BUILD THE FULL FOUR LANES. SO THAT PLAN IS IS IN THE WORKS, AND WE'LL HELP
[00:10:07]
PROVIDE A LOT BETTER ACCESSIBILITY TO THIS PROPERTY. UTILITIES ARE A CHALLENGE HERE, THOUGH THERE ARE NOT ANY. THERE'S NO WATER TO THIS SITE. CURRENTLY. THE CLOSEST WATER IS IS EAST OF HERE AT STREETER AND FLORENCE, AND THERE'S NO SEWER ANYWHERE CLOSE AND NONE PLANNED.SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD CONSTRAIN THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD HAPPEN ON THIS PROPERTY. ANYWAYS, THE PLAN, BASED ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING IS FOR VERY LOW DENSITY. THAT WOULDN'T NEED SEWER AS IT IS. SO I JUST WANTED TO TO MENTION THOSE THINGS TO YOU AS YOU'RE KIND OF CONSIDERING WHAT COULD DEVELOP ON THIS PROPERTY, RIGHT.
JOHN, DID YOU WANT TO TALK THROUGH ANY OF THESE? YES. OR DO YOU KNOW IF RYAN'S GOING TO BE HERE? RYAN IS NOT GOING TO BE. HE'S OKAY. I AM HERE IN PLACE OF RYAN. SO I'M THE REAL ESTATE AGENT, JOHN JACKSON. AND I THINK YOU PRETTY MUCH YOU KNOW, HE DID A GOOD JOB OF SUMMARIZING EVERYTHING OF WHAT THE PLAN WOULD BE FOR THE CURRENT OWNER RIGHT NOW IF HE WERE TO DEVELOP THIS OUT INTO 11 AROUND THREE ACRE LOTS CURRENTLY. SO THAT WOULD BE THIS VERY PRELIMINARY CONCEPTUAL PLAN THAT WE HAVE DRAWN OUT RIGHT HERE, GREATER THAN TWO ACRES WITH A TOTAL OF 11 LOTS, IS WHAT THIS ONE IS. AND HOW DO I CLICK ON? YOU CAN USE THE ARROW. OKAY. SEE, I CHANGE IT TO THE NEXT ONE. OKAY. SO THIS IS KIND OF TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF THIS WAS REPORTED TO HAVE THOSE LOTS. I KNOW THAT FOR THE, I THINK IT WOULD BE THIS ACTUALLY THIS ONE. YEAH. THE OPTION WOULD GIVE A ACCESS FROM GAS LINE ROAD ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. LOT TWO AND THREE WILL STILL UTILIZE THE EXISTING ENTRANCE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOT FOR ACCESS TO THEIR PROPERTY. IT ALSO ALLOWS THE GAS COMPANY ACCESS TO THE RECONSTRUCTION GAS LINE. SO THAT'S KIND OF A PRELIMINARY OUTLINE OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. IF THE CURRENT OWNER WOULD LIKE TO RE PLOT THIS OUT SO THAT THERE COULD BE EVEN A GATED ENTRANCE FOR THIS LUXURY COMMUNITY THAT WOULD DEVELOP HERE. SO YEAH. AND I WILL POINT OUT A GOAL OF THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THIS PART OF TOWN IS TO PRESERVE THE LOW DENSITY, THE LARGE OPEN SPACES. AND WE'VE WE'VE EXPRESSED THAT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AND TO JOHN OF THE REAL ESTATE AGENT AND TO THE OVERFLOW CHURCH. AND YOU CAN SEE THEY'VE KIND OF TAKEN THAT INTO ACCOUNT, WANTING TO PRESERVE OPEN SPACE ON IT. AND ALONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THE CHURCH, KIND OF FIT THE MORE RURAL CHARACTER WITH MORE BARN LIKE LOOKING FACILITY. SO I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR YOU GUYS TO DISCUSS. YOU CAN ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU WOULD LIKE. NATHAN, CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY THE THE OVERLAY DISTRICT YOU MENTIONED? BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T THAT'S INCONSISTENT WITH EITHER RURAL RESIDENTIAL OR AGRICULTURAL ZONING. JUST I WASN'T CLEAR ON, ON, ON THAT WHOLE CONCEPT. IT'S CONSISTENT IN THE OVERALL DENSITY. SO IT ALLOWS FOR. IT ALLOWS FOR THE SAME DENSITY THAT RURAL RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT WOULD, YOU KNOW? YEAH. OH.
THERE YOU GO. SO RURAL RESIDENTIAL ALLOWS FIVE ACRE LOTS. SO THIS WOULD BE ALLOW TWO ACRE LOTS BUT THE SAME NUMBERS. YOU COULD HAVE FIVE ACRE LOTS ON THE SITE AND IT WOULD WHAT THE GOAL OF THAT IS, IS THAT YOU HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF HOMES ON IT, BUT YOU PRESERVE A LARGER OPEN SPACE. IT DOESN'T CUT IT UP AS MUCH, SO IT CLUSTERS THOSE TOGETHER.
YOU DON'T THINK OF TWO ACRE LOTS AS A CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT'S IT IS IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT WE USUALLY HAVE FIVE ACRE LOTS ON. THANK YOU. AND THE, THE REZONING TO THE AGRICULTURAL WITH A MINIMUM OF 20 ACRES IS A PRETTY RECENT THING. SO. LINDA, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? SO NATHAN HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT SINCE I'VE I, I NEED A LITTLE REFRESHER ON THE
[00:15:01]
TCU TCEQ REQUIREMENTS FOR MINIMUM LOT SIZE FOR DRILLING YOUR OWN WELL ON THE SITE, IT'S A THE TOWN REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF TWO ACRES. IF YOU DON'T HAVE. IF YOU'RE ON SEPTIC. AND EVEN WITH TWO ACRES, IT'S PRETTY TIGHT. YOU KIND OF GOT TO PLAN AHEAD TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING CAN FIT. I DON'T KNOW WHY I THOUGHT TWO AND A HALF ACRES WAS TCEQ. NO, NO. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO WITH WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED HERE, ARE WE LOOKING AT TWO POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR THE THE USE OF THIS LAND? YES. THESE ARE TWO POSSIBILITIES THAT COULD COME BEFORE YOU. SO I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO DISCUSS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON IS ON BOTH OF THOSE.IS THERE THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT COULD ANYTHING THAT YOU LIKE ABOUT THEM, ANYTHING THAT COULD BE IMPROVED ON THEM? ANY PREFERENCES YOU HAVE? THOSE ARE THE, THE KIND OF THINGS I THINK THAT WOULD HELP HELP GUIDE THEM IN THEIR DECISIONS. ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS? I CAN SAY THAT IF IT WERE A CHURCH, I BELIEVE CHURCH IS NON TAX. IF IT WERE RESIDENTIAL HOMES THEN THE TOWN WOULD GET TAX BENEFITS OFF OF THAT. I KNOW THAT'S LIKE THAT'S THAT'S THE ONLY THING I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. I MEAN, IF THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO DEVELOP THEM INTO HOUSES, THAT'S GREAT FOR THE TOWN. IF THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO BUILD A CHURCH, THEN THEY BUILD A CHURCH. YES THEY WOULD. YEAH. DREW UP A GOOD POINT WITH THIS. THESE CONCEPTS WERE SHOWING 11 LOTS ON THE 42 ACRES. SO THAT WOULD NOT MEET THE CONSERVATION RESIDENTIAL OVERLAY REQUIREMENTS. THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO EIGHT EIGHT LOTS TO BE ABLE TO MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS. BUT THEY COULD COME BEFORE YOU WITH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING REQUEST AND REQUEST THAT. I THINK THE IDEA IS TO MAKE THAT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING THEY WOULD NEED TO DO. SO. SO IF THEY WENT IF THIS WAS DEVELOPED IN TERMS OF HOUSING LOTS, THAT WOULD BE A MUCH REDUCED. GREEN SPACE. I TAKE IT, AS OPPOSED TO WHAT THE CHURCHES, AT LEAST INITIALLY PROPOSING. IS THAT CORRECT? I THINK OVERALL IT'LL BE ROUGHLY THE SAME. KIND OF DEPENDS ON HOW YOU YOU VIEW IT. THE THE LARGE OPEN SPACE WILL BE PRETTY SIMILAR. IF IT'S DIVIDED INTO HOME LOTS, THERE'LL BE A HOME AND DRIVEWAY ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON IT. IF IT'S A CHURCH, THEY'LL HAVE A LARGER BUILDING AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE PARKING AREAS AND STUFF THAT THE RESIDENTIAL WOULDN'T INCLUDE. SO AND IF THERE IS NO WATER AND SEWAGE AVAILABLE, THEN HOW WILL THAT HOW WILL THAT BE HANDLED FOR INDIVIDUAL HOMES? EITHER WATER WOULD HAVE TO BE EXTENDED OR THEY COULD DRILL WELLS AND DO SEPTIC ON ON EACH LOT, ON EACH LOT, EACH INDIVIDUAL LOT. AND IF THE CHURCH IS OVER 5000FTā !S, THEY'L IT'LL NEED TO BE SPRINKLED. YES. AND SO THEY'LL EITHER NEED TO HAVE AN ON SITE STORAGE TO PROVIDE THAT PRESSURE, OR THEY'LL HAVE TO BRING WATER FROM FLORENCE. AND THEN THE THE TOWN SYSTEM WILL HAVE THOSE ADEQUATE PRESSURES FOR THE FIRE SUPPRESSION. AND A PORTION OF THE OF THE PROPERTY IS IN A FLOODPLAIN. I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHETHER THERE WOULD BE A LIMITATION ON THE PAVED AREA FOR PARKING, FOR EXAMPLE, TO TO MINIMIZE DRAINAGE ISSUES AND WHATNOT. YES, THERE WOULD MOST MOST OF THE FLOODPLAIN, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO, TO PARK IN.
[00:20:02]
SO YOU SEE, THIS BLUE LINE IS THE FLOODPLAIN BOUNDARY. SO THAT WHOLE NORTHWEST CORNER IS FLOODPLAIN. IT'S ALSO THE BOTTOM OF A HILL TO THE REST OF THIS PROPERTY IS UP HIGHER.THERE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE A DRAINAGE STUDY NEED BECAUSE YOU'RE INCREASING THE IMPERMEABLE SURFACE. SO THERE'D BE A DRAINAGE STUDY FOR. SO THERE MIGHT BE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY. THERE MIGHT BE DETENTION ON SITE REQUIRED, BUT THERE THERE MAY BE THE ABILITY TO HAVE THOSE FLOWS GO INTO THE CREEK IF IT BEATS THE STORM SURGE. SO THERE'S SOME SCIENCE BEHIND THAT. BUT ANYWAY, OUR ENGINEERS, THE PEAS ARE GOING TO REVIEW ALL THAT AND DETERMINE THAT, MAKE SURE IT MEETS OUR DRAINAGE STANDARDS. AM I CORRECT IN LOOKING AT THE MAP THAT THIS LAND IS IN THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL JURISDICTION? NO, IT IS NOT. THIS IS IN TOWN LIMITS. IT IS IN TOWN LIMITS. THANK YOU. IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO SOME ETJ. SO THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST IS. WHAT'S THE EVENT CENTER NAME? LUCKY SPUR IS IN THE ETJ. RIGHT NEXT TO THIS AND TO THE TO THE NORTH IS ETJ PROPERTY AS WELL. ANYONE HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO OFFER? SO YOU TALKED ABOUT THE NON PERMEABLE. THEY DO HAVE PERMEABLE BLACKTOP.
NOW I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE EVER APPROVED THAT NORTHLAKE OR NOT. THAT IS AN OPTION. WATER HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS IN ALL THIS AREA. I DON'T KNOW WHO HAS WATER RIGHTS NOW, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF SOLUTIONS THAT THIS PROPERTY CAN HAVE FROM EITHER A JOINT WELL WITH A LARGE TANK, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S AN OPTION. BUT EITHER PLAN. I GUESS WHAT'S CONFUSING FOR MY SIDE IS IT'S, IT'S, WE'RE UP HERE TO LOOK AT EITHER A CHURCH OR A NEIGHBORHOOD AND BOTH LOOKS LIKE THEY FIT THE BILL. BUT YEAH, ALL THESE HURDLES, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT THERE'S A SOLUTION FOR IT. AND, AND THAT'S THE WAY LIFE WORKS. I MEAN, THERE'S, THEY CAN FIGURE OUT MOST ANYTHING AND I PARDON ME FOR INTERRUPTING YOUR YOUR CONCERN WAS THE AQUIFER AND THE LIMITED RESOURCES OR JUST TRYING TO GET WATER THERE IN GENERAL. YEAH. I DO KNOW FROM THIS ENTIRE AREA, WATER HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND HOW FAR WE HAVE TO DIG DOWN ON A WELL. AND OBVIOUSLY THE AMOUNT OF USAGE YOU NEED, IT MIGHT TURN INTO A PUBLIC WELL AT THAT POINT TOO. AND I DON'T KNOW WHO OWNS THE WATER RIGHTS TO THIS PROPERTY OR HOW HARD IT'S GOING TO GET TO TO GET WATER TO IT, BUT ALSO JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER IS THE LAND, THE, THE SETBACKS FOR A WELL TO A SEPTIC, IS IT CHANGE WHEN YOU DO A DRIP LINE, A LATERAL LINE VERSUS AN AEROBIC SYSTEM? BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT CHANGES QUITE A BIT. SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. IF IT IS HOUSES THAT THEY COULD TURN TO, IT'S A CHEAP OPTION THAT WOULD ALLOW BOTH OF THOSE TO HAPPEN. IF THE SOILS ARE ACCEPTABLE.
YEAH. SO THESE APPLICANTS ARE ARE KIND OF WAITING TO SEE WHAT YOUR TAKE IS, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND SOME TIME AND EFFORT TO TRY TO DEVELOP A PLAN FOR YOU TO, TO REVIEW. SO THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO GIVE THEM KIND OF THEIR FEEDBACK. AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO DECIDE TO COME BACK. AND THE PROPERTY OWNER WILL ALSO LOOK AT THIS AND DECIDE WHAT ACTIONS TO TAKE.
SO THIS IS THIS IS KIND OF OPPORTUNITY BEFORE THEY SPEND TIME AND EFFORT. AND THEY AND THEY'VE, AND THEY NEED TO, THEY THAT'S THE NEXT STEP. BUT THIS IS JUST A, LIKE NATHAN SAID, TO GET AN EARLY FEEL OF ANY CONCERNS OR THOUGHTS. SO PLEASE PROVIDE INPUT. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN OBJECTION TO EITHER OF THESE PROPOSED USES? NO. ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS? CAN I BRING UP ONE OTHER THING THAT WE WERE PRESENT WITH PLEASE? JUST CAME ABOUT. SO WE ACTUALLY HAD OKAY, WE ACTUALLY HAD THE OTHER DAY SOMEONE THAT WAS VERY INTERESTED IN. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE BASEBALL WITH ROCKABY RANCH, WHICH IS LIKE THIS REALLY AWESOME BASEBALL COMMUNITY THAT A LOT OF YOUTH ATHLETES PARTAKE IN IN TEXAS. AND THEY HAD PRESENTED TO US THE, THE ABILITY TO HAVE A PERFORMANCE CENTER, WHICH WOULD NOW BE
[00:25:05]
MOVING TO A COMMERCIAL SPACE. THEY WERE REALLY INTERESTED IN BRINGING SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE TO REALLY FOCUS ON YOUTH ATHLETES. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT PERFORMANCE CENTER WITH BASEBALL FIELDS ON THE UPPER LEVEL, NOT IN THE FLOODPLAIN, UTILIZING THE LOWER LEVEL JUST FOR CATTLE AND HAVING BASEBALL FIELDS IN A MULTI SPORTS FIELD ON THE UPPER LEVEL. SO VERY PRELIMINARY. THEY WERE JUST VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE AREA AND BRINGING THE YOUTH AND COMMUNITY TO THAT SPACE WITH OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL THINGS FOR YOUTH. SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST VERY RECENTLY PRESENTED TO US. AND I THOUGHT THAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE JUST TO SEE IF THAT IS EVEN SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE A CHANCE WITH PRESENTING TO YOU GUYS AS FAR AS DEVELOPING IN THAT KIND OF WAY. SO. IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, CANYON FALLS, PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS ASKING FOR MORE RECREATION, MORE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. YEAH, AS FAR AS THAT GOES, I LOVE THAT IDEA. BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT SIDE OF TOWN WOULD LOVE THAT IDEA JUST DUE TO THE LIGHTING ASPECT OF IT AND THE INCREASED TRAFFIC. THAT'S THE ONLY, LIKE I SAID, I'D BE ALL ABOUT IT, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD FLY WITH THAT SIDE OF TOWN. SO I WILL SAY THAT I AM A NEIGHBOR. I ACTUALLY MY PROPERTY BACKS UP TO THE COYOTE HILL RANCH AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE IDEA OF I MEAN, I HAVE YOUNG LITTLE ONES RIGHT NOW. I HAVE A 79 YEAR OLD. THEY'RE VERY AVID SPORTS PLAYERS. AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE CITY OF NORTH LAKE. I MEAN, RIGHT NOW WE DRIVE TO ARGYLE FOR THAT. SO IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN OUR COMMUNITY. GREAT. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE ACTUAL ORGANIZATION. IS IT MORE LIKE SELECT OR CLUB OR IS IT MORE LIKE A LITTLE LEAGUE TYPE DEAL? IT'S A LOT OF SELECT TEAMS, BUT IT MORE OF WITH THAT IS THEY HAVE LIKE LITTLE CASITAS ON THE PROPERTY. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS FAMILIES WILL GO AND THEY'LL PLAY IN THESE BASEBALL TOURNAMENTS. SOME OF THEM WILL STAY ON PROPERTY AND THEY HAVE FISHING WHERE THE KIDS CAN ACTUALLY FISH IN THE PONDS AND STUFF. SO IT BRINGS COMMUNITY AND BRINGS THERE'S PEOPLE THAT GO COME FROM ALL OVER TO PLAY FROM OKLAHOMA ESPECIALLY. SO THIS IS OUT WHERE GRAFORD, I BELIEVE IT'S CRAWFORD, TEXAS, WHERE THEY HAVE THIS. BUT THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THAT IN THIS AREA. SO IT WOULD REALLY BE NEAT BECAUSE IT COULD BE YOUTH SPORTS, IT COULD ACTUALLY SELECT TEAMS, REC TEAMS. IT REALLY COULD BE ANY TYPE OF TEAM. YOU CAN ALSO DO MULTI SPORTS. SO YOU CAN HAVE SOCCER, YOU CAN HAVE LACROSSE. I MEAN ALL DIFFERENT SPORTS THAT ARE OUTSIDE. SO THERE ALSO WOULD BE MORE OF LIKE A FOR PERFORMANCE CENTER AS WELL. SO THAT WOULD BE YOUR COMMERCIAL SPACE. SO THAT WOULD BE ENCLOSED FOR LIKE INDOOR LIKE GYM AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THERE WOULD BE OUTDOOR INDOOR. THANK YOU. YEAH. MY QUESTION I HAD WAS A FACILITY LIKE THAT, THAT KIND OF USE OF THE LAND. WOULD THERE BE ANY TAX BASE FOR THE WHERE THE CITY WOULD FOR PROFIT? SO ACTUALLY, I MEAN, THAT THAT CONVERSATION HASN'T TAKEN PLACE YET. THEY WERE JUST SAYING TO, YOU KNOW, REALLY JUST BRING THE YOUTH INVOLVED IN SPORTS, HAVE FAITH AND ALSO E SAYING A LOT OF FAMIS ARE KIND OF GEARED TOWARDS HOMESCHOOLING. SO THIS COULD EVEN BE LIKE A HOMESCHOOL HUB FOR A LOT OF FAMILIES. SO PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, WANT TO COME AND WORK AND THEY HAVE THEIR KIDS THAT ARE TRAINING OR DOING ANY KIND OF LIKE TRAINING FOR SPORTS OUTSIDE OR INSIDE, WHETHER IT'S WEIGHTLIFTING OR THINGS LIKE THAT. IT WOULD KIND OF BE A MULTI-PURPOSE USE SPACE.THEY EVEN PRESENTED THE IDEA OF HAVING LIKE AN INDOOR PLACE FOR PARENTS TO WORK AS THEIR KIDS ARE TRAINING AND HAVE AN ACTUAL PODCAST AREA, OR MAYBE AN AREA FOR CONFERENCE CALLS AND STUFF, OR EVEN A COFFEE SHOP. SO IT WOULD DEFINITELY TURN INTO MORE OF LIKE A COMMERCIAL SPACE, BUT ALSO INVOLVE THE KIDS AS WELL. SO IT WOULD BE REALLY USED FOR EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY. ANY THOUGHTS ON WHAT YOU'LL THINK ABOUT THAT IDEA? IT'S DEFINITELY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU SEE AROUND HERE. SO I THINK THAT IF YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH, THERE'S A MAJOR FACILITY COMING IN JUST WEST OF NORTH LAKE THAT'S GOING TO BE ALL BASEBALL CENTERED. SECOND OF ALL, I JUST LAID OUT A 130 ACRES WITH BASEBALL FIELDS, AND THIS WOULD BE VERY TIGHT TO GET A LOT OF FIELDS ON THERE. BASEBALL FIELDS TAKE UP ABOUT FIVE ACRES EACH, PLUS THE PARKING. I DON'T SEE THAT THIS WORKS, BUT I GUESS I LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM, WHAT YOU'RE BRINGING TO THE TABLE. BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT AS FAR AS A PLAN. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN EVEN TALK ABOUT IN MY OPINION. YEAH, I'D BE DEFINITELY. IT'S DEFINITELY PRELIMINARY. AND IT'S NOT JUST BASEBALL FIELDS. THEY WERE REALLY KIND OF CONSIDERING LIKE TWO FIELDS AT MAXIMUM. AND THEN THE REST WOULD BE MULTI SPORTS. SO IT
[00:30:03]
WOULD BE YOUR SOCCER, YOUR LACROSSE AND FOOTBALL AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO FOR THE OTHER FIELD. OKAY. THANK YOU. REGARDING THE FIRST TWO CONCEPTS THAT WERE REGARDING THE FIRST TWO CONCEPTS THAT WERE PRESENTED, I DON'T SEE ANY ISSUES THAT WOULD BE LET'S CALL THEM DEAL KILLERS. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WATER, SEWER, DRAINAGE ISSUES, ALL WOULD HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT AND RESOLVED. BUT I, I DON'T SEE A REALLY A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH EITHER OF THOSE TWO CONCEPTS. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? I AGREE THERE'S, I THINK EACH OPTION IS VIABLE ONES PROVIDES TAX BASE AND ONE DOES NOT PROVIDE TAX BASE. OBVIOUSLY WE WE WOULD LIKE MONEY. OKAY. YEAH I THINK THAT'S ALL THE INPUT WE HAVE FOR TONIGHT. THANK YOU. I THINK THAT'LL THAT WILL HELP GUIDE THEM. READY FOR THE NEXT ITEM. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING. APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION. SO I'D LIKE TO PRESENT ON ITEMS THAT HAVE GONE[2.B. Briefing - Town Council actions on Planning & Zoning Commission items ]
BEFORE YOU THAT THEN HAVE TO GO ON TO TOWN COUNCIL SO THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF HOW TOWN COUNCIL ACTED ON THOSE. AND AT YOUR LAST MEETING, YOU SAW THE HENRY EAST SITE PLAN. THIS WAS A JUST UNDER 200 500 ZERO SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE THAT TRAMMELL CROW IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP. AND BECAUSE THIS SITE PLAN WAS IN A MIXED USE PLAN DEVELOPMENT, IT REQUIRED THAT SITE PLAN TO GO THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS AS ZONING CHANGE. SO THAT MEANT THAT IT WENT TO YOU FIRST FOR A RECOMMENDATION, AND YOU ALSO HAD TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING OR NO SPEAKERS OF THAT PUBLIC HEARING, AND UNANIMOUSLY, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN, ALONG WITH THE RECOMMENDED CONDITION. AND THEN THAT WENT ON TO THE JUNE 11TH TOWN COUNCIL MEETING. THEY HELD A PUBLIC HEARING. THERE WAS ONE SPEAKER THAT WAS REALLY NEITHER FOR OR AGAINST THE PROJECT, BUT EXPRESSED SOME CONCERNS ABOUT PARKING AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT HAD ENOUGH PARKING. AND THEN IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED AS PRESENTED, ALONG WITH THE SAME CONDITION THAT PNC RECOMMENDED. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? NOW, ON ITEM C,[2.C. Briefing - Town Council actions on Planning & Zoning Commission items ]
THE APPROVED PLAT SINCE YOUR LAST MEETING, THERE WAS JUST ONE. THIS IS ALLIANCE NORTH PORT PORT WEST EDITION, LOT FOUR, BLOCK A. THIS IS THE SITE OF MP MATERIALS. THERE. PROJECT TEN X THE. THIS PLAT WAS APPROVED FOR PURPOSES OF BEING ABLE TO BEGIN GRANTING PERMITS.IT'LL HAVE INTERIM ACCESS OFF OF EXISTING HARMISON ROAD, BUT ULTIMATELY THERE'LL BE A NEW ROAD BUILT HERE ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY AND THAT THOSE PLANS ARE IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW. THAT'S A ROAD THAT IS ON OUR MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN. AND.
A NEW PLAT ULTIMATELY WILL BE PROVIDED PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO INCLUDE ANY ON SITE EASEMENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY, AS WELL AS SHOWING THE OFF SITE RIGHT AWAY AND EASEMENT ALIGNMENTS THAT ARE STILL BEING FINALIZED. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT, SO OUR FIRST MEETING AFTER NEW APPOINTMENTS, WE DO AN ANNUAL
[2.D. Briefing - Annual Board Training ]
TRAINING FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. SO THIS WILL BE YOUR BRIEF ANNUAL TRAINING.IT'S. TRAINING FOR THESE NEW COMMISSIONERS. WELCOME, MR. DUNCAN AND MR. TURNER TO THE COMMISSION. AND GOOD REMINDER FOR YOU, VETERANS ON ON THE COMMISSION. SO I'LL GO OVER
[00:35:12]
BRIEFLY KIND OF THE AUTHORITY MEMBERSHIP AND ROLES AND POWERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. THEN I'LL TURN IT OVER TO OUR TOWN SECRETARY WILL GO OVER REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT, OPEN MEETINGS ACT AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND ETHICS, AND PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE FOR RUNNING OUR MEETINGS. SO STARTING OFF WITH THE AUTHORITY THAT'S GRANTED BY THE STATE IN THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, THERE'S CHAPTER 211 OVER ZONING, CHAPTER 212 FOR PLANNING. YOU KNOW, SOME LARGER CITIES HAVE SEPARATE COMMISSIONS FOR ZONING AND PLANNING. MOST MOST SMALLER ONES LIKE NORTH LAKE INCLUDE THAT COMBINED. SO YOU DO THE PLANNING AND THE ZONING. THE PLANNING IS MORE THE SUBDIVISION ASPECT OF OF DEVELOPMENT. THE TOWN CHARTER HOME RULE CHARTER WAS ADOPTED IN MAY OF 2021, AND THAT PROVIDED FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE.WE HAD A PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, BRIEFLY, BUT FOR PRETTY MUCH 20 YEARS PRIOR TO THAT HOME RULE, CHARTER TOWN COUNCIL ACTUALLY ACTED AS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THE STATE'S GENERAL LAW CITIES ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT. BUT AS WE'RE GROWING, IT MADE SENSE TO CREATE A SEPARATE COMMISSION. AND THAT'S WHAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IS FOR.
THEN, FOLLOWING UP ON THE CHARTER ADOPTION, THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE WAS AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE SECTION 3.3, WHICH CREATED THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND SET THE MEMBERSHIP FOR IT AT SEVEN MEMBERS APPOINTED BY A MAJORITY OF COUNCIL, AND THEN SETS THE TERMS OF OFFICE TO TO ONE YEAR. SO WHETHER YOU'RE NEW OR YOU'RE A VETERAN, YOU'RE ALL NEWLY APPOINTED TO A ONE YEAR TERM. IT CALLS FOR TWO OFFICERS, A CHAIRPERSON AND A VICE CHAIRPERSON TO BE SELECTED FROM THE COMMISSION. IT'S TO BE CONSIDERED AS A FIRST ITEM OF BUSINESS AT YOUR JUNE MEETING, OR AS SOON AFTER AS POSSIBLE. SO THE FIRST ACTION ITEM ON THE AGENDA YOU'LL NOTICE IS SELECTION OF THE OFFICERS. SO THE CHAIRPERSON PRESIDES OVER THE MEETINGS, AND THEN THE VICE CHAIRPERSON ASSISTS THE CHAIRPERSON AND ASSUMES THOSE DUTIES IN THE CHAIRPERSON'S ABSENCE. THE MINUTES ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF TOWN STAFF OR TOWN SECRETARY AND HER OFFICE. TAKE CARE OF THE MINUTES. ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER APPLY IF THERE'S QUESTIONS OVER PROCEDURES, AND Z WILL GO OVER THAT MORE IN HER PRESENTATION, THERE ARE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND NOTICES REQUIRED FOR FOR SOME CASES IN FOR ZONING CASES AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS, SPECIFIC USE PERMITS ARE ANOTHER EXAMPLE. A MAJORITY OF THE COMMISSION CONSTITUTES A QUORUM. SO WE HAVE TO HAVE FOUR OF YOU PRESENT TO BE ABLE TO TO MEET AND TAKE ANY ACTION AND DISCUSS ITEMS. AND AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY ATTENDING IS NECESSARY TO PASS ANY MOTION. SO IF YOU'VE IF YOU'VE GOT AT LEAST A QUORUM, YOU'VE GOT FOUR, YOU GOT FIVE IN ATTENDANCE, THEN YOU'LL NEED AT LEAST THREE OF THE FIVE TO BE ABLE TO TO PASS AN ITEM. SO THESE ARE THE DUTIES AND POWERS OUTLINED BY THAT. SECTION 3.3 OF THE UDC FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. YOU REVIEW ALL CURRENT AND PROPOSED ORDINANCE AND AMENDMENTS PERTAINING TO PLANNING AND ZONING, AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNCIL FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN. YOU HERE RECOMMEND AND DETERMINE MATTERS RELATING TO ZONING, PLANNING AND SUBDIVISION CONTROL AS THEY'RE SPECIFIED IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND YOU HAVE FINAL APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR SITE PLAN APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE ANY WAIVERS OR VARIANCES TO REQUIREMENTS IN THE UDC, AND YOU EXERCISE DUTIES AND POWERS, AS MAY MAY BE ESTABLISHED IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE OR TOWN CHARTER OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS. SO PRIMARILY, THIS IS KIND OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT YOU'LL SEE BEFORE YOU AND YOUR APPROVAL AUTHORITY RELATED TO THEM. SO THE DISCRETIONARY
[00:40:05]
ITEMS ARE THINGS LIKE ZONING CHANGES, AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, SPECIFIC USE PERMITS, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATES AND AMENDMENTS AND APPROVAL AND UPDATES OF OTHER MASTER PLANS LIKE THE WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS OR MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN FOR ROADWAYS. AND IF THERE ARE ANY PLATS OR SITE PLANS THAT HAVE ANY WAIVERS OR VARIANCES BEING REQUESTED ALONG WITH THEM, THOSE ITEMS ARE DISCRETIONARY. YOU'RE NOT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE ANY OF THEM, BUT YOU MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THOSE. AND ONCE YOU MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION ON THAT, IT GOES ON TO TOWN COUNCIL AND THEY TAKE THE FINAL ACTION ON IT. THE THING THAT YOU HAVE REGULATORY APPROVAL AUTHORITY OVER OUR SITE PLANS, THEY'RE NOT AS DISCRETIONARY. THERE'S SET REQUIREMENTS IN OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. IT EITHER MEETS IT OR NOT, BUT YOU WILL OFTEN SEE SOMETIMES THERE ARE VARIANCE REQUESTS LIKE THE TWO ITEMS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, WHICH DOES MAKE THOSE ITEMS DISCRETIONARY. AND IF WITH THE VARIANCE REQUESTS, YOU'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON THAT, THEN THAT'LL GO ON TO TOWN COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION. THE PNC MEETINGS ARE SCHEDULED MONTHLY, TYPICALLY ON THE FOURTH TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH, BUT OCCASIONALLY OTHER TUESDAYS ARE SCHEDULED DUE TO CONFLICTS. SO THE CONFLICTS, AT LEAST ON THIS YEAR'S SCHEDULE, ARE ELECTIONS AND HOLIDAYS. SO EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE PNC HAD TO MEET ON A SECOND TUESDAY IN APRIL. BUT DUE TO EARLY VOTING AND IN OCTOBER, WE'LL HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING. MEET ON THE SECOND TUESDAY DUE TO EARLY VOTING AT THE END OF THAT MONTH. AND THEN YOU GET TO THE END OF THE YEAR AND YOU HAVE HOLIDAYS AND NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO MEET. MAY BE HARD TO GET A QUORUM ON THE WEEKS OF THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS. SO THOSE MEETINGS ARE SCHEDULED FOR THE THIRD TUESDAY OF THOSE MONTHS. THE MEETINGS ALL BEGIN AT 530 AND ARE HELD HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. AND IN THE PAST WE HAVE HAD, IF THERE WAS A CONFLICT IN HERE, MET IN OTHER LOCATIONS, WE'RE TRYING AS BEST POSSIBLE TO FIT THE SCHEDULE SO THAT WE CAN MEET IN HERE. THEN THE MEETINGS ARE LIVE STREAMED AND RECORDED, AND WE HAVE THOSE ABILITIES IN HERE, AND WE DON'T. IF WE HAVE TO MOVE LOCATIONS. RIGHT NOW, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO Z. GOOD EVENING. NEW MEMBERS. WELCOME FORMER MEMBERS. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR REAPPOINTMENTS. SO THIS EVENING WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER SOME INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT, ETHICS AND PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE BASICS. VERY IMPORTANT. WITH REGARD TO STAYING IN TOUCH. EVERYONE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED AN EMAIL. SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE CHECKING YOUR EMAIL. THAT'S HOW WE COMMUNICATE WITH YOU. THAT'S HOW WE ENSURE THAT YOU'RE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR MEETINGS. WE DO HAVE TEAMS AVAILABILITY THROUGH YOUR EMAIL AS WELL. AND WE DO RECOMMEND THAT THAT BE THE PRIMARY WAY THAT YOU COMMUNICATE WITH STAFF. OKAY. SO JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU KEEP THAT AT THE FOREFRONT.WE DO RECOMMEND YOU CHECK AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, ESPECIALLY WITH, YOU KNOW, MEETINGS COMING UP. SOMETIMES I'M MEETING MAYBE NEEDED. WE'LL REACH OUT VIA PHONE IF NEEDED AS WELL. BUT THAT IS GOING TO BE THE PRIMARY WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE COMPLETED THE POST APPOINTMENT INFORMATION, WE APPRECIATE IT. THAT PACKET INCLUDED YOUR ETHICS ACKNOWLEDGMENT, YOUR PUBLIC ACCESS OPTION FORM. THAT IS AN OPTIONAL FORM, BUT WE DO RECOMMEND THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO REQUEST IT TO BE ON FILE, THAT IT NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YOUR EMAIL ACKNOWLEDGMENT, YOUR OPEN MEETING CERTIFICATE AND YOUR PUBLIC INFORMATION CERTIFICATION THAT NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED BY THE 90TH DAY AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT, WHICH WOULD BE SEPTEMBER 9TH. JUST KEEP THAT DATE IN MIND. SOME BOARD INFORMATION. AGAIN FOR THE NEWER MEMBERS. WE DID PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO THE UDC AND SOME OTHER INITIATING LEGISLATION FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, JUST, YOU KNOW, READ REVIEW THAT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, GET WITH NATHAN AND HIS TEAM AND HIS STAFF ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST AND ANSWER QUESTIONS IF NEEDED. WE DO HAVE YOUR SHORT ORDER FORM. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WOULD LIKE A NEW SHIRT OR THOSE THAT ARE NEW AND YOU KNOW, NEED TO ORDER A NEW SHIRT, WE HAVE THAT AVAILABLE AS WELL. A QUICK OVERVIEW ON WHAT IS AN ON TARGET BOARD MEMBER. SO EIGHT BASIC PRINCIPLES WITH REGARD TO BEHAVIORS FOR ON TARGET BOARD MEMBER HERE WITH THE TOWN. WE'D LIKE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE TOWN AND THE COMMUNITY. AND THAT'S REPRESENTING COUNCIL'S INTEREST, ENSURING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THEIR DIRECTION, THEIR VISION,
[00:45:02]
THAT YOU SEEK INPUT WITH REGARD TO DECISIONS IF NEEDED. RIGHT. COUNSEL IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE, AS IS THE TOWN MANAGER AND OUR DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AND HIS STAFF TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE, PROVIDE INFORMATION, SEEK GUIDANCE FOR YOU, REACH OUT TO LEGAL IF NEEDED. YOU HAVE MANY RESOURCES AVAILABLE WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAKING DECISIONS. SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, REACHING OUT AND KEEPING THAT IN MIND, KNOWING YOUR ROLE, UNDERSTANDING THE PURPOSE OF THE BOARD AND OR THE COMMISSION, UNDERSTANDING THE TOWN OPERATIONS AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS A MEMBER, SETTING TARGETS, PROVIDING CLEAR GOALS, TIMELINES, ENSURING THAT, YOU KNOW, NATHAN AND HIS TEAM DO A GREAT JOB OF BRINGING BACK INFORMATION. YOU JUST HAD A COUPLE OF REPORTS WITH REGARD TO PREVIOUS TOWN ACTION INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO PLATS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED. SO THAT'S GOOD INFORMATION, ENSURING THAT YOU'RE GETTING THAT FEEDBACK FROM ACTIONS THAT STAFF ARE TAKING ON BEHALF OF THE TOWN, IDENTIFYING ANY RISKS WITH REGARD TO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, COMMUNICATION, MAINTAINING FOCUS, MAINTAINING THE BIGGER PICTURE. SOMETIMES WE LIKE TO GET INTO THE WEEDS OF THINGS, AND IT'S REALLY GOOD TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT HIGH LEVEL THAT YOU'RE OPERATING AT WITH REGARD TO YOUR POSITION ON THE BOARD, DELEGATE THE WORK, ENSURE THAT, AGAIN, YOU HAVE GREAT STAFF THAT ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HAVE BEEN WITH THE TOWN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. DELEGATE THE WORK. IF YOU GET CALLS FROM DEVELOPERS, IF YOU GET INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, WE RECOMMEND AND WE GUIDE, WE PROVIDE GUIDANCE WITH REGARD TO GETTING THAT OVER TO NATHAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, GETTING IT OVER TO MR. CORN TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO REVIEW AND THEN PROVIDE REPORTS FOR YOU ALL TO KIND OF REVIEW AS A AS A TEAM, AS A BODY ASSESS PERFORMANCE. AND THAT JUST MAKING SURE THAT AGAIN, THOSE GOALS ARE BEING MET. PRACTICE DISCIPLINE. THAT'S WHERE YOUR AGENDA REVIEW COMES INTO PLAY. WE DO HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS FOR YOU TO LOOK AT THAT. WE SEND IT VIA EMAIL. IT'S AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE, ENSURING THAT YOU'RE PREPARED AND READY FOR YOUR MEETINGS, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING, WHAT'S GOING TO BE ACTED ON. AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS THAT YOU REACH OUT TO STAFF BEFOREHAND. AGAIN, THEY'RE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND THEY'RE ALWAYS WILLING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. IF YOU COME TO THEM BEFORE THE MEETING, THEY'LL DO IT DURING THE MEETING AS WELL. BUT SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE IF THEY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT AND ASKING. AND THEN, OF COURSE, REPORTING BACK AND ENSURING THAT THE DECISIONS THAT COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, LAY OUT THAT THEY, THEY TRICKLE DOWN TO, TO YOUR ACTIONS AND, AND VICE VERSA. THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT. SO THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT IS THE ACT THAT ALLOWS US TO MEET. THERE ARE HAVE BEEN CHANGES WITH REGARD TO POSTING REQUIREMENTS. IT USED TO BE 72 HOURS. IT IS NOW THREE BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE MEETING. SO THAT ALLOWS YOU ALL TO SEE THE INFORMATION WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME THAN NORMAL. THEY ARE TYPICALLY POSTED ON, LIKE I MENTIONED ON OUR WEBSITE. THEY'RE ALSO POSTED ON OUR BOARD HERE AT TOWN HALL. THE INFORMATION IS EMAILED TO YOU AS WELL. SO IF YOU EVER HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET US KNOW. THE MEETINGS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. IT IS YOUR MEETING. IT'S NOT THE PUBLIC'S MEETING. YOU'RE WELCOME TO ALLOW THEM TO SPEAK, BUT IT IS YOUR MEETING. BE VERY CAUTIOUS AND MINDFUL OF DAISY CHAINS AND EMAILING RIGHT THE BOARD AS A WHOLE, JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO. WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF QUORUM ISSUES OR ANY QUORUM VIOLATIONS. SO BE CAREFUL OF THAT. WE YOU'LL SEE THAT IN MOST OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS, WE SEND A BCC. THAT JUST MEANS THAT EVERYONE'S GETTING THE SAME INFORMATION. WE'RE JUST ENSURING THAT NO ONE ACCIDENTALLY REPLIES TO ALL AND THEN CAUSES A QUORUM ISSUE. SO BE MINDFUL OF THAT AS WELL. THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT DOES NOT LIMIT YOU TO PARTICIPATING IN EVENTS SUCH SOCIAL GATHERINGS. SOMETIMES THERE'LL BE BUSINESS OPENINGS OR GRAND OPENINGS. YOU CAN STILL PARTICIPATE IN THAT. WE TRY TO TRACK THAT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO ATTEND TO ENSURE THAT WE POST A NOTICE OF QUORUM, IF THAT'S THE CASE, AGAIN, THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO TRACK THOSE MEETING INVITES. SO WE KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE PRESENT, AND WE'RE ABLE TO PLAN FOR THAT AND PROPERLY POST SO THAT YOU CAN ALL ATTEND. LEGISLATIVE SESSION IMPACTS. LAST YEAR'S LEGISLATIVE SESSION DID IMPACT THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT A LITTLE BIT. WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE 72 HOUR REQUIREMENT THAT CHANGED TO THREE BUSINESS DAYS.THERE IS ANOTHER ANOTHER HOUSE BILL THAT ALLOWS FOR A CLASS B MISDEMEANOR TO BE CITED. IF ANYONE IS DISRUPTING A MEETING, WHETHER IT'S IN PERSON OR HYBRID, WE HAVE NOT HAD TO USE THAT HERE JUST YET. SO VERY THANKFUL FOR THAT. AND THEN THE LAST ONE THAT WOULD IMPACT YOUR SPECIFIC COMMISSION WOULD BE ANY OPEN MEETING VIOLATIONS THAT WERE TO COME FORTH. THE ACTUAL POLICE DEPARTMENT IS REQUIRED TO POST THAT NOTICE ON THE WEBSITE AND LET THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY KNOW. SO IT MAKES IT A VERY EMBARRASSING SITUATION. SO JUST BE MINDFUL. DON'T GET INVOLVED IN ANY OPEN MEETINGS VIOLATIONS. AGAIN, YOU HAVE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF THAT CAN ALWAYS HELP GUIDE YOU IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING. SO DEFINITELY ASK BEFORE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. SO WHAT IS PUBLIC INFORMATION? EVERYTHING IS PUBLIC INFORMATION. EVERYTHING THAT YOU CREATE DURING YOUR SERVICE AS A COMMISSIONER IS PUBLIC INFORMATION FROM AN EMAIL TO A VOICEMAIL MESSAGE TO A TEXT. WE
[00:50:08]
DO AGAIN, HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO UTILIZE THAT TEAM'S ABILITY. THAT PLATFORM IS VERY, VERY USEFUL FOR COMMUNICATING WITH STAFF. TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM TEXTING. IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A CONSTITUENT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT COMES TO YOU AND YOU KNOW YOU KNOW THEM, OR THEY SEND YOU AN EMAIL, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET THAT EMAIL AND FORWARD IT TO YOUR TOWN ISSUED EMAIL, AND THEN YOU PLACE THAT BURDEN BACK ON US. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT'S TAKEN CARE OF. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT'S PROPERLY RETAINED FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT NEEDS TO BE KEPT, BECAUSE YOU ARE TEMPORARY CUSTODIANS, THAT THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO FOR YOU TO REMEMBER THAT. SO IF YOU EVER RUN INTO THAT KIND OF AN ISSUE, JUST REMEMBER QUICK SNAPSHOT OF THE TEXT OR THE EMAIL AND EMAIL IT TO YOURSELVES. AGAIN, PUT THAT BURDEN BACK ON US. WE DO HANDLE PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS EVERY SO OFTEN. YOU MIGHT SEE, I THINK WE MAYBE HAD 1 OR 2. COMMISSIONER KING, IF YOU RECALL, THAT CAME IN LAST YEAR WITH REGARD TO CERTAIN INFORMATION THAT INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY OR OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY WANT TO REQUEST. SO YOU MAY SEE THOSE COME THROUGH. IF YOU DO, JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE SENDING THOSE OVER TO OUR OFFICE SO THAT WE CAN PROCESS THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE DO HAVE A TEN DAY TIMELINE ON THAT ETHICS. SO I'M JUST GOING TO GO OVER THIS REALLY QUICK BECAUSE IT'S A LOT AND I DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE MYSELF OR ANYONE REALLY. THE GIST OF IT IS MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT VOTING OR DISCUSSING ON SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ISSUE. IF YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, INTEREST IN, IN ANYTHING THAT'S BEING DONE AS FAR AS VOTING OR STOCKS, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING 10% OR MORE FOR MARKET VALUE OF AN ENTITY OR $50,000 OF MARKET VALUE, THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER MORE CRITERIA HERE. JUST MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION WITH REGARD TO CAN I VOTE ON THIS? IS THIS GOING TO BE A CONFLICT FOR ME? DOES IT POSE A CONFLICT WITH MY MY JOB, MY FAMILY, MY FRIEND? HOW WHATEVER CONFLICT YOU THINK, CHECK WITH STAFF. WE AGAIN, WE HAVE OUR TOWN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WHO'S VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CAN PROVIDE GUIDANCE WITH REGARD TO THAT PRIOR TO THE ACTUAL VOTE OR DECISION OR DELIBERATION HAPPENING. IF THERE WERE AN ISSUE, WE DO REQUIRE AN AFFIDAVIT OF ABSTENTION TO BE SUBMITTED, AND WE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THAT AND HELP YOU WITH THAT AS WELL. GIFTS CANNOT BE SOLICITED OR THEY CANNOT BE ACCEPTED FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO YOUR OFFICIAL AND OFFICIAL ACTION TAKEN BY YOU ON THE BOARD. SO JUST BE MINDFUL OF THAT. THERE IS A $50 THRESHOLD. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DON'T ACCEPT ANYTHING OVER $50. IF YOU DO, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SUBJECT YOURSELF TO A POSSIBLE VIOLATION. SO JUST BE MINDFUL OF THAT. IT DOESN'T PROHIBIT YOU FROM ACCEPTING THINGS FROM YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS OR ANYONE THAT YOU KNOW OF, SO LONG AS IT'S NOT IN FAVOR OF SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE REQUIRED TO ACT ON IN YOUR OFFICIAL CAPACITY. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE, WE ARE VERY LENIENT.THANKFULLY, WITH REGARD TO PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE, WE DO FOLLOW ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER.
IN MY TIME DURING MY TIME WITH NORTH LAKE, WE HAVE NOT NEEDED TO USE A TON OF MOTIONS, BUT THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WE HAVE MOST COMMONLY USED. AND THAT'S YOUR MOTION TO APPROVE AN ITEM.
YOUR MOTION TO APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS. NATHAN'S TEAM DOES A GREAT JOB OF IN YOUR MEMO, IN YOUR AGENDA PACKETS, REALLY OUTLINING WHAT THOSE CONDITIONS SHOULD BE. HE REALLY DETAILS AND NOTES, BASICALLY GIVING YOU GOOD GUIDANCE WITH REGARD TO YOUR CONSIDERATION OF AN ITEM.
SO BE MINDFUL OF THAT. YOU CAN IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS. MOTION TO POSTPONE, MOTION TO DENY OR A POINT OF ORDER, WHICH JUST BASICALLY KIND OF BRINGS BACK THE THE QUESTION OF WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? RIGHT? SO THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE PRIMARILY USED. AND THEN JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF HOW TYPICALLY A MEETING PROGRESSES. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A QUORUM FOR OF YOU AS A QUORUM, NO QUORUM, NO MEETING, JUST BE MINDFUL OF THAT. OKAY. CALL TO ORDER TYPICALLY STARTS IT OFF. YOU HAVE A ROLL CALL, YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF AGENDA ITEMS. YOU MIGHT HAVE PRESENTATIONS SUCH AS YOU HAD THIS EVENING. YOU MAY HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. THE CHAIR THEN OPENS AND CLOSES. THAT PUBLIC HEARING ALLOWS FOR PUBLIC INPUT. THE PRESIDING OFFICER THEN CAN OPEN THE FLOOR FOR MOTIONS. THEY CAN ALLOW FOR OPPORTUNITY, FOR DISCUSSION, AND THEN THE VOTING OCCURS. WE DO HAVE A VOTING SYSTEM THAT WE UTILIZE. WE KIND OF GET FAMILIAR WITH THAT. AND WHEN WE FORGET, WE MEET ONCE A MONTH. SO WE KIND OF FORGET. BUT IT DOES TOGGLE ON THE SYSTEM. YOU KIND OF TOGGLE YOURSELF, IT LETS YOU VOTE, THE VOTE APPEARS, THE CHAIR EXPRESSES WHAT THE VOTE IS, AND THEN WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM. AND AFTER ALL THE ITEMS ARE COMPLETED, THEN WE ADJOURN THE MEETING. THERE'S NO NEED FOR A MOTION OR ANYTHING TO ADJOURN THE MEETING, SO ANY QUESTIONS? I KNOW THAT WAS A LOT A LOT OF INFORMATION THROWN AT YOU. SO NO QUESTIONS. OKAY. AND WE LAST WE DO HAVE A CONTACT INFORMATION. WE'VE GOT NATHAN NATHAN'S CONTACT, MR. COLLINS CONTACT AND THEN MYSELF AS WELL. OKAY. THANK YOU STEVE.
[00:55:07]
I NOW HAVE 6:26 P.M. I WOULD OPEN THE FLOOR FOR PUBLIC INPUT. IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON A SUBJECT THAT'S NOT ONE OF OUR AGENDA ITEMS? ANYONE? THERE BEING NO ONE. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC INPUT SESSION AGAIN AT 626. SO WE'LL[4.A. Consider selection of: i. Chairperson]
MOVE ON TO OUR FIRST ACTION ITEM. AND THAT IS, CONSIDER THE SELECTION OF A CHAIRPERSON AND VICE CHAIRPERSON. DO I HEAR A NOMINATION FOR CHAIRPERSON? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO NOMINATE MISS KING. IS THERE ANOTHER NOMINATION? I'LL SECOND THAT FOR MISS KING. OKAY. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT THEN WE'LL WE WILL VOTE.[4.A. VOTE]
MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU EVERYONE. THANK YOU. NOW, DO I[4.A. Consider selection of: ii. Vice-Chairperson]
HEAR A MOTION TO FOR NOMINATION OF A VICE CHAIRMAN. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO NOMINATE MR. ROBERT KUCHAR. WOULD YOU ACCEPT IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION? THEN LET'S VOTE[4.A. VOTE]
ON THIS ONE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. CONGRATULATIONS. OUR NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS IS[4.B. Consider approval of meeting minutes for May 26, 2026 ]
CONSIDERING APPROVAL OF THE MEETING. MINUTES FOR MAY 26TH. HAS EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE MINUTES. ARE THERE ANY. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION CHANGES OR AMENDMENTS? DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS POSTED. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. MR. SPEAKER. THANK YOU. THEN WE WILL VOTE ON THIS. MOTION[4.B. VOTE]
CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS. CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION ON A SITE PLAN[4.C. Consider recommendation on a Site Plan for Everhome Suites, a proposed 120-room hotel on a 2.24-acre tract of land to be replatted as Northport Addition, Lot 4-R1, Block 3, generally located on the south side of Northport Drive approximately 400 feet northeast of State Highway 114 - Case # 26-SP00004]
FOR EVER HOME SUITES, A PROPOSED 120 ROOM HOTEL ON A 2.24 ACRE TRACT OF LAND TO BE REPLATTED AS NORTH PORT ADDITION. LOT 4-R1, BLOCK THREE. GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NORTH PORT DRIVE, APPROXIMATELY 400FT NORTHEAST OF STATE HIGHWAY 114. CASE NUMBER 26 DASH SB FOUR. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A SITE PLAN FOR A PROPOSED HOTEL. DOWN OFF OF 114 AND NORTH PORT DRIVE, JUST WEST OF THE CAMBRIA HOTEL AND CONFERENCE CENTER. THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED A SITE PLAN APPLICATION. ACCORDING TO THE UDC REQUIREMENTS, THE SITE PLAN PACKAGE INCLUDES THE SITE PLAN. YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED YOU HAVE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THAT SITE PLAN THAT WAS PASSED OUT TO YOU. IT ALSO INCLUDED A LANDSCAPE PLAN AND BUILDING ELEVATIONS.THE SITE PLAN SHOWS A FOUR STORY, 120 ROOM HOTEL SITE AND 120 PARKING SPACES, INCLUDING FIVE ACCESSIBLE SPACES. YOU KNOW, THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE LESS PARK PARKING SPACE THAN WAS ON THE VERSION IN YOUR PACKET. AND I'LL DISCUSS A LITTLE MORE THE REASON FOR THAT CHANGE. THIS IS THE UPDATED SITE PLAN ON YOUR SCREEN, AND THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE UPDATE HERE WAS DUE TO.
THERE WAS SOME CHANGES IN OUR RESUBMITTAL TO ADDRESS A COMMENT THAT CHANGED. THE DRIVEWAY THAT YOU SEE IS ONE WAY AND THE ORIGINAL PLANS. THAT WAS A TWO WAY DRIVE AND IN ORDER FOR THAT TO STAY ONE WAY AT THAT WIDTH, WE HAD TO HAVE ANGLED PARKING TO TO MEET THE
[01:00:03]
UDC REQUIREMENT AND TO REALLY FUNCTION WELL FOR, FOR PARKING. SO THIS REVISED SITE PLAN PROVIDES ANGLED PARKING ALONG THAT ONE WAY DRIVE. IT ALSO ADDS A LOADING KIND OF CHECK IN ZONE OFF THE MAIN DRIVEWAY. SINCE THERE'S NOT A FULL TWO LANE DRIVEWAY DIRECTLY ADJACENT THAT'S NOT WITHIN A FIRE LANE. SO THIS PROVIDES A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN PULL OVER AND CHECK IN REAL QUICK. OR. LOAD OR UNLOAD THEIR THEIR THINGS. HERE IS A LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.THE. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS EXCEPT FOR THE SIZE OF THE LANDSCAPE STRIP ON THAT NORTH SIDE ALONG NORTH PORT DRIVE. SO MINIMUM 15 FOOT LINEAR LANDSCAPE STRIP IS REQUIRED ALONG ANY STREET FRONTAGE. AND EVEN THOUGH THIS IN A WAY KIND OF BACKS TO NORTH PORT, IT'S STILL ANY ADJACENT STREET. THAT LANDSCAPE STRIP IS SUPPOSED TO BE CARRIED ON THAT THEY HAVE 15FT ON PART OF THAT. AND THERE ARE SOME AREAS WHERE THERE'S AN AMENITY AREA AND SOME PARKING SPACES THAT ENCROACH SO THAT THERE'S A FEW AREAS THERE IS ENCROACHED 6 TO 7FT OR PROVIDES ONLY 6 OR 7FT THERE. HOWEVER, ALL REQUIRED LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THAT STRIP ARE BEING MET. SO THE THE REDUCTION IN THE WIDTH OF THE LANDSCAPE STRIP IS A IS A VARIANCE THAT CAN BE APPROVED WITH THE SITE PLAN. BUT BECAUSE IT'S A VARIANCE, YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON IT. AND THAT'LL THEN GO ON TO TOWN COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL. AND HERE'S A LOOK AT THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS FOR THE THE FRONT WHICH WILL BE ON THE SOUTH. AND THEN HERE'S THE THE REAR ON THE THE NORTH SIDE. SO TONIGHT YOU'LL NEED TO CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS OR DISAPPROVAL. THE SITE PLAN WITH THE VARIANCE AS SUBMITTED. AND THEN THAT'LL GO ON TO TOWN COUNCIL AT THEIR JULY 23RD MEETING. AND I WILL POINT OUT THAT THERE'S REPRESENTATIVES OF THIS PROJECT HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM. NATHAN, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. IN IN PNC, HOW MANY APPLICANTS OR APPLICATIONS HAVE WE APPROVED OR MADE A RECOMMENDATION FOR A LANDSCAPE VARIANCE OF THIS MAGNITUDE? SIX FOOT IS PRETTY SMALL. I DON'T I DON'T HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER, BUT THAT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, PARTICULARLY IN THE PAST. AND ACTUALLY THE CAMBRIA HOTEL SITE HAS A SIMILAR IT'S A, I THINK IT'S A TEN FOOT. IT'S NOT A FULL 15 FOOT. IT'S IN A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING, WHICH WAS APPROVED AND ALLOWS FOR THAT. SO THIS WOULD BE KIND OF OVERALL MORE CLOSELY MATCHING THAT, BUT NOT MEETING THE FULL 15 IN THE TOWN'S OPINION IS, IS THE SIX FOOT LANDSCAPE STRIP THE BEST THAT THE DEVELOPER COULD DO? SO I WILL POINT OUT, LET ME GO BACK TO THIS. PART OF THE REASON FOR IT IS THEY'RE TRYING TO CON KEEP A CONSISTENT FRONTAGE FOR RETAIL DEVELOPMENT ALONG. 114 AND IT'S. AND ALSO THE IRREGULAR SHAPE OF THE PROPERTY MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THAT FULL 15FT AND, AND STILL MAINTAIN A DEVELOPABLE RETAIL AREA IN FRONT. AND THE FACT THAT REALLY THE 15FT IS MORE DESIGNED FOR TRUE FRONTAGE. AND ALTHOUGH THIS IS MORE KIND OF BACKING TO NORTH PORT AND THE OTHER SIDE OF NORTH PORT, THE NORTH SIDE IS A WAREHOUSE BUILDING, INDUSTRIAL USES. SO IT'S IF THIS WAS IF THIS WAS FRONTING ON 114, IT DIDN'T HAVE THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER. I THINK IT WOULD BE. I WOULD VIEW IT DIFFERENTLY THAN THIS, THIS REQUEST. AND ONCE AGAIN, I KNOW YOU SAID IT, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE MEETING THE AMOUNT OF PLANTING REQUIREMENTS. YES. IT'S JUST THE WIDTH IS THE VARIANCE. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU.
[01:05:01]
DREW, I MEAN NATHAN. NATHAN, IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE OTHER SLIDE WHERE IT SHOWS THE AMENITY AREA, I, I DON'T SEE ANY PLANTINGS THERE. THEY THEY JUST HAVE A TURF GRASS PLANTED HERE. BUT THE REQUIREMENT IS FOR TREES. I THINK ONE TREE PER 50 LINEAR FEET. AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE GROUPING THEM TOGETHER IN DIFFERENT AREAS IS HOW THEY'RE MEETING THAT REQUIREMENT. SO ARE THEY ACTUALLY PROVIDING THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF TREES, JUST NOT IN THE LOCATION SPECIFIED? YES. YES. BUT THEY ARE PROVIDING IN THAT GENERAL LANDSCAPE STRIP AREA, BUT THEY'RE JUST CLUSTERED TOGETHER, WHICH THAT IS, THAT IS ALLOWED. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE EVENLY SPACED THROUGHOUT. SO. IF WE APPROVED THIS, THEN THEY WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY A PENALTY FOR LANDSCAPING, CORRECT? CORRECT. YEAH. I'M SORRY, CHAIR CHAIRPERSON I, I MISINFORMED YOU. THE VARIANCE IS NOT THE NUMBER OF TREES. IT'S THE THE WIDTH OF THE BUFFER. WHEN WE TALKED EARLIER BEFORE THE MEETING, THE NEXT ITEM THAT WILL BE A REDUCTION IN TREES THAT YOU'LL DISCUSS. SO OKAY. MORE QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION.I'M JUST GOING TO SAY I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH THIS, PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT IS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE BUILDING THERE AND THERE, A LITTLE SQUEEZED BACK THERE. I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO REALLY IMPACT THE OVERALL ESTHETIC OF IT. AND YOU WILL NOTICE ALONG THIS PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE, THERE'S A LOT OF EASEMENTS AND UTILITIES THAT CROSS THERE THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR TREES TO GO THERE ANYWAYS. ANYTHING THAT AMENITY CENTER IS THAT JUST A JUST KIND OF A OPEN AREA PATIO AND THERE'LL BE SHRUBS BETWEEN THERE AND THE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE. HI TIM RIVER WITH WOLPERT CIVIL ENGINEER. THE AMENITY AREA WILL BE FENCED IN WITH SEATING IN THE BACK, SIMILAR TO THE CAMBRIA, BECAUSE A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO COME HANG OUT OUTSIDE. OH, SO THERE WILL BE A A FENCE FRAUDING FRONTING THE ROAD. IT'LL PROBABLY BE A LANDSCAPE OR SOME SORT OF LANDSCAPE TREATMENT, NOT LIKE A WROUGHT IRON FENCE OR ANYTHING.
SOME KIND OF BORDER SO PEOPLE DON'T WALK OFF THE CONCRETE. SO MAYBE A KNEE WALL. BUT THAT HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED YET. OKAY. AND FURTHER, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? DO I HEAR A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. I MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF SITE PLAN FOREVER HOME SWEETS PROPOSED 120 ROOM HOTEL ON 2.42.24 ACRE TRACT OF LAND TO BE REPLATTED IS LOT FOUR R1 BLOCK THREE. GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF NORTHPORT DRIVE, APPROXIMATELY 400FT NORTH EAST OF STATE HIGHWAY 114. CASE NUMBER 26-SP00004 AS SUBMITTED. WITH THE REDUCTION IN THE WIDTH OF THE LAND LANDSCAPE STRIP. DO I HEAR A SECOND, I SECOND. LET'S
[4.C. VOTE]
VOTE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY, THE NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS. CONSIDER[4.D. Consider approval of a Site Plan Amendment for StudioRes, a proposed 124-room hotel on a proposed 2-acre lot to be platted as Chadwick Farms, Lot 4B, Block 1, generally located on the south side of SH 114 approximately 200 feet west of Chadwick Parkway - Case # 25-SP00002]
APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR STUDIO RES, A PROPOSED 124 ROOM HOTEL ON A PROPOSED TWO ACRE LOT TO BE PLOTTED AS CHADWICK FARMS, LOT FOUR B BLOCK ONE, GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF SH114, APPROXIMATELY 200FT WEST OF CHADWICK PARKWAY. CASE NUMBER 25-SP2. OKAY, SO THIS IS A SITE PLAN FOR A HOTEL THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION JUST NORTH OF THE STAR CENTER, ALONG IN SOUTH OF 114. SITE PLAN HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED[01:10:02]
FOR. THIS WAS APPROVED BACK LAST JUNE, AND THAT SITE PLAN INCLUDED A LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT MET ALL REQUIREMENTS AT THAT TIME. EARLY IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SEVERAL OF THE TREES ARE UNABLE TO BE PLANTED DUE TO UTILITY CONFLICTS, AND THEY ARE PROPOSING AN ALTERNATIVE LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR CONSIDERATION DUE TO THAT FACT.SO YOU'LL LOOK. ON THIS LEFT SIDE IS THE ORIGINALLY APPROVED LANDSCAPE PLAN. THE RIGHT SIDE IS THE PROPOSED ONE. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THESE TREES RIGHT HERE ALONG 114 ARE REMOVED, UNABLE TO PLANT THOSE DUE TO. YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE OF THE OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL LINES THAT RUN THROUGH THERE, WHICH. THEY COULD NOT GET APPROVAL FOR THOSE TREES. AND THEN ALSO A FEW WITHIN THE PARKING LOT ISLANDS. SO THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THIS NEW PLAN TO REPLACE THAT ORIGINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN APPROVED WITH THE THE SITE PLAN, THE THE VARIANCE WOULD REQUIRE. YEAH. THERE'S A VARIANCE TO THE REQUIRED CANOPY TREES IN THE 25 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER BECAUSE THIS IS FRONTING. 114 IT'S IT'S A LARGER ONE THAN THE LAST ITEM WE DISCUSSED.
THERE'S ONE TREE PER 50 LINEAR FEET REQUIRED. SO THERE WOULD BE SIX REQUIRED THERE FOR A TOTAL OF 15 CALIPER INCHES. SO NO TREES ARE PROPOSED ON THIS. AND THEN IN THE PARKING AREA THERE IS A REQUIREMENT OF ONE, 2.5IN CALIPER CANOPY TREE PER TEN PARKING SPACES. SO THERE WOULD BE TEN REQUIRED FOR A TOTAL OF 25 CALIPER INCHES FOR CANOPY TREES ARE PROPOSED OR THAT WERE PROPOSED DUE TO CONFLICTS WITH THE ELECTRICAL EASEMENTS AND FIRE HYDRANTS.
ALL OTHER LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS ARE ARE MET WITH THIS PLAN. THE. YOU HAVE A NEW OPTION FOR CONSIDERATION. NOW. IF TREES CANNOT BE PLANTED, YOU COULD CONSIDER. IS THERE ANOTHER AREA ON THE PROPERTY THAT COULD BE PLANTED INSTEAD? YOU SEE, IT'S PRETTY CHALLENGING ON THIS SITE. SO ANOTHER OPTION IS THE ABILITY TO REQUIRE A PAYMENT OF A FEE IN LIEU OF PLANTING THOSE TREES. WHERE PLANTING THE TREES IS IMPOSSIBLE OR NOT PRACTICAL DUE TO EASEMENTS AND PROXIMITY TO UTILITIES SUCH AS THIS SITUATION. SO. AGAIN, THIS IS A VARIANCE YOU'LL NEED TO CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL ON THIS. SO THEN WE'LL GO ON TO COUNCIL. BUT WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO CONSIDER ON THIS IS APPROVING THIS ALTERNATE LANDSCAPE PLAN WITH A CONDITION THAT FUNDS IN LIEU OF THE TREE PLANTING BE REQUIRED FOR THE 12 TREES THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PLANT THAT ARE REQUIRED, WHICH WOULD BE A TOTAL OF 30 CALIPER INCHES. SO THAT'LL RESULT IN A TREE PAYMENT OF $12,000 WILL BE REQUIRED. AND WOULD THOSE FUNDS BE USED BY THE THE TOWN TO PLANT TREES ELSEWHERE? YES. NO CONDITION. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION. SO THIS KIND OF PUTS US IN A BAD SPOT BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED IT BASED ON SOMEBODY DOING DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE. AND NOW THAT THEY'RE IN CONSTRUCTION THAT THEY'RE UNABLE TO DO THAT. SO WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE FOR THE PLANTINGS. I THINK THERE'S A SOLUTION TO GET THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF CALIPER THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PLANT.
AND WE WILL WE COULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO ALLOW THE TOWN TO PLANT THOSE PLANTINGS OR THOSE CALIPER THAT USE THAT MONEY AT THEIR DISCRETION FOR OTHER PLANTINGS. OKAY. I WOULD AGREE. I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF WE HAVE A CHOICE HERE FOR MY OWN AWARENESS. IS THERE A STANDARD FEE AS A PENALTY OR IS IT KIND OF IT'S IT'S $400 PER CALIPER INCH. OKAY. THANK YOU.
AND AND IT'S GOT TO BE APPROVED BY, BY COUNCIL, WHETHER THAT'S AN ALTERNATE APPROVAL. AND THEN
[01:15:08]
IT'S GOT TO GO BEFORE YOU FIRST FOR A RECOMMENDATION. SO A DEVELOPER CAN'T COME IN AND SAY, I JUST DON'T WANT TO PLANT TREES. I'LL PAY THIS. YOU'VE GOT TO DECIDE THAT. BUT STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO PLANT THE TREES IN THE DESIGNATED AREAS. YES, YES. AND I BELIEVE WE'VE HAD THIS CHALLENGE PREVIOUSLY IN P AND Z WHERE THE PLANTINGS. YES. COULD NOT MEET THE ORDINANCE. RIGHT. AND WE'VE MADE EXCEPTIONS FOR THAT DURING THAT THAT APPROVAL PHASE, NOT DURING CONSTRUCTION. TO MY RECOLLECTION. IT WAS RIGHT AFTER THOSE THOSE SITE PLANS YOU'RE DISCUSSING THAT HAD THESE SAME ISSUES PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION THAT WE ADOPTED A SET FEE FOR PER CALIPER INCH SO THAT WE COULD HAVE SOMETHING READY FOR THESE SITUATIONS, RIGHT? SO THE, THE ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE JUST TO APPROVE IT WITHOUT TREES AND NO CONDITION TO PAY FEES. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO PAY THE FEE IN LIEU OF. RIGHT. OKAY. QUESTION ANY OTHER QUICK QUESTION. IF THE TOWN WERE WAS TO PLANT THE TREES, WOULD WE PLANT IT IN A AREA WHERE THE TOWN WOULD HAVE TO THEN WATER THESE TREES? OR WOULD THEY JUST BE WILD NATIVE TREES WHERE NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE? I ASK THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THE TOWN STRUGGLES WITH WATER SOMETIMES, AND I WOULD JUST HATE TO PUT ANOTHER BURDEN ON THE TOWN AND FORCE THE TOWN TO DO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT NOT BE BENEFICIAL TO US LONG TERM. YEAH, WE WE WOULD TRY TO PLANT THOSE TO WHERE WE COULD WATER THEM. SO WE'VE MADE NO DETERMINATION OF WHERE WE WOULD PLANT THESE AT THIS TIME. OKAY. DO I HEAR A MOTION? I THINK I MADE EVERY MOTION TONIGHT, SO I'LL MAKE ONE MORE. GO FOR IT. APPROVE APPROVAL, APPROVE THE SITE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR STUDIO REZ, A PROPOSED 124 124 ROOM HOTEL ON A PROPOSED TWO ACRE LOT TO BE PLATTED. CHADWICK FARMS, LOT FOUR B BLOCK ONE, GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF STATE HIGHWAY 114, APPROXIMATELY 200FT WEST OF CHADWICK PARKWAY. CASE NUMBER 25-SP00002. IMPOSE A CALIPER. SIGN TO THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE TO USE, AT THEIR DISCRETION, TO PLANT EQUIVALENT TREES AT THEIR DISCRETION. DO I HEAR A SECOND? I SECOND, THEN[4.D. VOTE]
WE'LL VOTE. MOTION MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. THAT BEING OUR LAST ITEM OF BUSINESS, IT IS NOW* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
