Thank you Mayor. This concludes the consent agenda for this evening. Mr. Buskin do we have any speakers in support or opposition of items that appear on the consent agenda? Yes, sir. We have two speakers in opposition to item 8.10 and one speaker in support of item 8.16. Okay. Let's have them speak. Our first speaker is Chris Dobson in opposition to item 8.10. Hello. My name is Chris Dobson. My address is 2708 Buffalo Drive. I call to speak about item 8.10. Provision to provide small cookware to the Texans rangers baseball clubs golf course. We asked them if they can do like a bake sale or something for this. It just seems that in a time where we're facing a $20 million deficit that the city should be cutting corners where it can and I don't know that authorizing funds in this matter is the most responsible use of our money. So I mean if there's anyone that can answer that question I'd be happy to stay on the line. Yes, Mr. Yalverton. Full attack. Yes sir, Mr. Dobson. Now I don't think a bake sale will collect the the amount of revenues necessary to provide this smallware. However, I think it's important to know a couple things here that this is the city's golf course. So I want to make sure to clarify, it's not the Texas Rangers golf course, but it's the city's golf course. And the Rangers have lent us their name for no cost in order to drive additional revenue. How we run golf courses is it's a revenue as a part performance fund enterprise. So we work hard to make sure that there is minimal taxpayer investment into the golf courses. And so the revenues used to buy this equipment will be generated largely from persons using the golf facility through golf course fees and or rental and or restaurant cost at the golf club. So it's really thought of more as an enterprise fund as opposed to taxpayer supported activity. Well, I'm glad that the golfers will be paying for that rather than the people of Arlington. I appreciate your sprung tray. But again, I think it's important to remember the symbolic and optic effects of the city of Arlington continuing to put money into a golf course that the Texas Rangers can essentially use for free. I understand that it is a branding name tag and not an ownership name tag, but I think that people of Arlington deserve a little bit more than necessarily buying the plates for this place. I want to thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Okay, the next speaker. I apologize sir, I misspoke earlier. We have one non-speaker in opposition as well. On this item it was Jane Lynn. Our next speaker on item 8.16 is Annie Hepner. I believe she's joined via the Zoom call. I'm non-speaking. We have no additional speakers on the consent agenda, sir. Okay. All right, with that, do we have a motion? Have a motion for approval or consent agenda for Ms. Moise. We have a second from Dr. Nunez. All in favor please cast your votes. Okay motion passes unanimously and please let it be shown that I abstain from 8.16. And Dr. Farah Mars. I'm going to be able to see the next section of the section that I abstained from 8.16. Okay. Dr. for our Myers. Thank you, mayor. Mr. Bess can you also show me as abstaining from 8.16. Thank you. Thank you. Next we'll move to public hearings, consideration of ordinances first reading. And we have 11.1, zoning case PD 20-2, Debbie 360, 8224, Webberal Road, and I'll call upon Ms. Jensytopoul, Director of Planning and Development Services. Thank you, Mayor. Zoning case PD 20-2, Debbie 360. This is a 39 acre site addressed at 82-24 Vepferral Road, generally located north of Debbie Lane and west of State Highway 360. This case is continued from the June 23rd Council meeting. For audience watching this for the first time, the site is currently zoned as community commercial, CC. The applicant is proposing to build a multi-family development in approximately 16 acres of the subject site. Four acres is left for commercial uses along Debbie Street Frontage and the remainder 19 acres will be the preserved area at the back. The site does have an on-core utility corridor that bifurcates the property. With this PD, the applicant has submitted a development plan for the multi-family portion of the site proposing 380 units. The primary building material is Seaman Teeches 5 aboard. The applicant proposes one bedroom and two bedroom units as well as two 20 two bedroom townhome type units. Whenever the commercial development is ready to move forward, they will come back with a separate development plan approval request. Since June, the applicant has worked with staff and they're just in developer related to the traffic signal at Debbie and Glenday Drive. Each of these developments on their own triggers, the signalization of that intersection. At this point, next Metro or the Avala development has agreed to build the signal. If for any reason that development does not proceed to construction and Debbie 360 project is approved and wishes to proceed to construction they will be responsible for the signalization. The Debbie Lane Capital Improvement project has been released to move forward and the engineering services contract is scheduled to go to council for approval on August 18th with the anticipated completion date in 2024. Since the packet was published last Friday, we received some updated information related to minor changes in the covered parking, a letter of support and additional economic analysis which was forwarded to you this morning. covered parking, a letter of support, and additional economic analysis, which was forwarded to you this morning. This evening, we have the applicant, Douglas Cooper from MMA presenting the case for us. Mr. Cooper, if you could state your name and address and go ahead with the presentation, thank you. Yes, thank you, Mayor. Can everyone hear me okay? Yes. Well, good evening and thank you Council members. Douglas Cooper, 519 Peace Order Street here tonight, representing Leon Capacruz. Appreciate the opportunity to present this exciting project to you. I'd like to walk you through a brief presentation and then the development team that in myself will be available for any questions. Next slide please. Developer proposes to build a unique and vibrant community with a focus on history, nature and livability targeted to working professionals. The Graring History is told through the architecture, landscaping, amenities, low density of 11 units per acre, and preservation of open spaces. Decides have been strategically oriented to maximize green space, preserve trees, and provide a diversity of housing types, all of which align with the Protect Our Resources and value our neighborhoods, goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The development proposes to preserve the natural drainage system and incorporate low-impact design standards which alleviate storm management concerns, storm water management concerns. Over half of the site is open space with trails and wildfire meadows supporting wildlife and butterflies alike. The Debbie Lane Street frontage will be as reserved for future neighborhood service uses which will complement the area. Overall, W360 will be an institutional great investment and will have a significant and immediate economic impact on the city's tax base. Exciting. From the inception of the project, the development team understood proper coordination regarding debilane improvements with the silitated successful project. The timeline shown here demonstrates how the construction of debilane and the proposed W Debbie 360 community aligned with one another. Hered the TI, the development will significantly reduce weekday trips compared to if the property was developed as commercial shopping center under the current zoning. Furthermore, by aligning the development of the future commercial pad sites with the completion of Debbie Lane, we can delay in additional 1900 trips, weekday trips. Next slide please. The following slide shows proposed interim improvements which will mitigate the impacts of Debbie Lane from existing traffic as well as traffic generated from other recently approved buildings. Here we propose to restripe the existing pavement from Glenday to Webb Barrel to create left turn lanes and struck additional right turn lanes, which will allow for the free movement of the retrafing. Next slide please. At this time, we'd like to show you a quick simulation of debilane traffic. You could just click on the image the video should play. We also sent this out to the council members in advance of the meeting in case we had a technical difficulty here. But essentially what the traffic simulation was going to show is on the top screen is how Debbie Lane would function with the traffic and on the bottom screen it would show how it would function much better with our side demand with the proposed interim improvements. We'll go to the next slide please. In addition to the interim condition, the developers committed to making long-term improvements, which will contribute to the immediate and future infrastructure needs. Roadway improvements such as turn lanes, construction of Plenty, traffic signal impact fees will exceed $1 million and public improvements will exceed $2 million. Next slide, please. The question about remaining commercially-owned property in in the cities come up on several occasions. This slide shows how W360 and other recently approved developments are located adjacent or near over 37 acres of undeveloped commercially-zoned property. Next slide, please. This slide represents the existing big box retail in entertainment serving the area. The purple circle represents a three-mile buffer around the subject site and you can see how the service areas of the existing commercial centers shown in red significantly overlap the market area of the subject property. As noted in the property owners' letter included in the staff report, the Dave family has attempted to sell this property for retail development for over 20 years and has been unsuccessful. The recent feedback from the family and the broker for retailers is the property is less desirable than other sides along the state highway 360 corridor where there is significantly higher daily traffic counts and retail synergy. Additionally, online delivery services and COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to sharply climb in the amount of retail transactions that decreased sales and brick and mortar locations, thus limiting developer's interest in building new retail centers. Next slide please. In addition to the commercial saturation, the site has limited access and visibility, which is critical to anchor retail tenants. Drivers must exit one mile north to access the site and must travel over four miles to return to Debian should they miss the exit. Next slide please. In response to the commercial tax base, because Leon Capital engaged, I've just got one more slide now, I'll wrap up, Mayor. Leon Capital engaged, David Pettitec and on the development, to analyze the foremost life of development scenarios for this site. Current commercial zoning, multi-family mix uses, proposed office and single-family. The detailed study clearly defined multi-family as a largest tax revenue generator. W360 would generate between $2.3 and $9.6 million gross tax dollars between $2.1 and $4.5 million more in that present value. Next slide please. Any closing we'd like to thank the planning staff for all their assistance through this development process. The developer is excited about the opportunity to bring unique environment walkable community to the city of Arlington. We believe Debbie 360 achieves many goals of the city's conference plan and the following slide shows how the project elements such as density, variety of housing types, natural resource preservation, adequate infrastructure and contribution to the tax base, aligned with the state of objectives of the conference plan. So again, thank you for your time, consideration of PD-20-2 and the development team and our happy and taking questions of the council. Any questions of the applicant? Mr. Sutton. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Doug. I appreciate that. I think we've met on a couple of occasions about that development. And we've got two developments that were approved. Their valor and net Metro and Debbie Lane flat, which is about 331 units. My concern, and I know we're expanding Debbie Lane and I plot the council for the foresighted expanding it, but I have a dedicated And it may create some delay. So if we're having to run a emergency unit to that development, I would be concerned about a delay. And if we have to go around the east or through the west, it puts us at three six in New York with the roundabout to get there, or it runs us out to the west, which takes us to Salo Road and back to Debbie. So that would be problematic for me because having to deliver public service and having to make sure we have an adequate response, I would like to see Collins expanded to at least four lanes in order to allow and facilitate an easy access in case we need to take care of emergency at that particular development. Now, as you're aware, we still have a huge growth spur down south, and we have a huge demand for our public service and call for service. So that would really concern me. Can your address those concerns for me? Yeah, thank you for the question, Councilmember Sutton. So like many of the projects that we work on, the fire department are some of the first folks that we engage on our developments. And we heavily vet our site plan, our building layouts, hose lane, fire lane, and a lot of the actual onsite elements that concern life safety and fire. In addition to that, we also really drive flowing the access points how the site would be accessed in emergency situation. So with the developments of the W360 based on unit count, we'd be required the two points of access with the project we're proposing the fourth floor of this evening. We have of access with the project we're proposing before we this evening. We have four access points to which are off Debbie, one off of Web Barrel, and or excuse me, one on Debbie Lane and two off of Future Clean Monday. So we've been heavily involved in communication with the part of our community and those folks on showing them our plan and making sure that they're aware of all different ways to access the property in that emergency situation. And they've accepted and affirmed the proposed access points that we have. And the site is within an acceptable distance and response time to their current standards. Thank you Doug. I guess my concern would be from point A to point B, even though we have access to get in there, it's the time for, in some sense, there's like a 15 to 20 minute time from I-20 to the further subdivision, which puts us at Southwind, which is close proximity to your development. So with that, and having a two-lane road, and it's generating a lot of traffic on columns, if the columns are north-south, I believe, or two. And so my concern would be, if we don't expand columns, we still got the access points that you mentioned, but the time and route in case those roads start to drop is my concern. Right, and I believe the staff ordered noted that whether they, the farting horn can use on Collins and is able to access what federal and then into the side or if they need to continue on South College, then come back from the West along Debbie. It would still be in keeping to the response time. So our site itself has limited if any of the vehicular impact to Collins, our needed for trips are gonna be from West Farrell, Future Glenday, and folks traveling east to West along Debbie Lane. So any additional trips that we would, we wouldn't be creating there along the South College Street. Well, thank you. In your word, we have high schools, elementary schools in that area. So we would generate traffic to get people back and forth. And so my concern again is the traffic volume along that quarter. And that's the main route out of that station getting south. Thank you, Doug. Thank you, Councilor. Other questions, comments for the applicant. Yes, Ms. Moeys. questions, comments for the applicant. Yes, Ms. Moise. So later on this evening, we're considering a project that has 13 or 14 units per usable acre. So if you've got 39 acres and you're leaving for for commercial and you're putting this project on 16 acres, what's your usable density? based on our current plans because we're proposing a significant amount of tree preservation that otherwise we could encroach into that area and develop. We would reconfigure maybe our stormwater system going to more of the improved structural detention but we're making use of that natural feature. So I mean, the tenants, will your tenants make use of that natural feature. So I mean, I mean, your tenants make use of that natural feature. Are you putting in trails and, or is it just truly a preserve so that it's, because what I see is a 16 acre project or about 24 units per acre. Is that about right? So yeah, say stay sure to question. We've got, we have several additional slides towards the end of the presentation that show the site plan, I believe we had an overall site plan. And we've got a significant amount of walking trails, sidewalks, inter-connectivity, where they would absolutely be able to make use of the tree preserve where we have direct access from private yards and buildings there to the north that could then you know use the trails that were proposing we have cross-fit activity stations that will have sporadic throughout the trail network. Where's the trail network? Because I can't find it. I knew you had one. So we got it by two. Gensie, where is it in your staff report? Council member Moeys, are you asking me about which exhibit it covers it? I'm asking for the trails that are being put in. He says there are trails in the Presar. I just want to see that they there in the plan. It's called an open space and fencing plan that they have in the development plan. I'm trying to remember, see what page that is on, but it does title as overall landscaping open space and fencing plan. And the trail at the back is right at the edge of where the tree line is. So it's not in the 19 acres. It's in it's along the edge of the tree line. That's correct. Okay. All right. So I'm I'm again concerned about approving more projects. GenC, we have two other immediate area projects that have been approved in this area in the last year. Have either of those submitted to commence construction or had final plans that submitted? Both the projects, the Debbie Lane flats as as well as Avala or the next Metro, those two projects have got the a plat approved. So the final plat is approved and it's another step in the process of construction. So how many units are each of those two? The Debbie Lane flats is 331 units units and Avila is 170 units. We already have 500 units going in there. That's correct. And this is 380 so it's almost 1,000 units. It's almost 1,000 units, 8.81. I'm gonna see what other questions there are and then I might have some follow up questions. Okay. And Dr. Mike, as a member of Louise, just to speak to the trail question. So there's a few reasons why we have it shown in its locations. We push it any further into the preserve then we're just clearing additional trees that otherwise would be unnecessary and then you start to fall off of grade wise again because it is a natural channel and so just again maintain more of a natural aesthetic versus building more improvements such as retaining walls is why we position it to where we have. So my point is if you cannot access that 19 acres or use it please don't tell me you're 11 per acre because you're not. Well it's still accessible I mean it's still, it's still accessible. I mean, it's still open. It's on our property. That's all I'm saying. That's fine. That's your position. I get it. But we really have a fairly dense project is my point because the buildable area is roughly those 16 acres are 24 units to the acre. And then you've got some land that you can't use. So I get it. I want to hear what everybody else has to say about this. Thank you. Dr. Farah Mars. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you for the presentation. I really appreciate the thoroughness. I have a question regarding I know we talked a lot about I have a question regarding, I know we talked a lot about flooding and flood control, but can you talk to me a little bit more about flooding on web feral and what your plans aren't to deal with that? Victoria, I'm just giving councilman Theramires. This is Robert Cohen, Director of Engineering at MMA. I can answer that question. So the Guest of World Railroad currently where our road does overtop in the two, you know, two to the hundred near storms, it overtops by a couple of inches. We ran an analysis that we talked to the Fire Department about about the passability of wet barrel road during those overtopic conditions. And there are no overtopic conditions in every storm except that 100-year storm. There was still a dry, passable way that the run-up does not fully breach what fell road. Furthermore, our I developed when compared to the existing zoning of community commercial and the runoff calculations, greatly reduces the overtoppin of Wokawro although it happened in the proposed conditions. Right now, our property actually impounds what our road is acting kind of as a dam, so to speak. And a lot of the runoff that gets contributed from the school, from the bill of property, from the self-win development actually gets impounded. If you look at that tree area, if you can still see slide number two, that tree area just to the east of the encroachment, that whole area actually gets impounded by that storm water. Additionally, we did an analysis where we looked at what would happen if we increased the coverageed sizes of what what? Excuse me, I'm working on what far road, but unfortunately at that time if we were just to do that We would end up having the negative downstream impact so those properties downstream They'd be experiencing significant blood and then they are now You know, there was a study done, I believe in 2011, Commission on the City of Rampere to discover this and to evaluate this entire watershed. And we are in conformance with the findings of that study and any mitigation members, measures that they will look in touch. Take place. And one follow-up question if I may, Mayor. Yes, please. I'm Glenn Day. Is it my clear understanding from reading from both you and the project that you're obviously working to that they're putting in the street light I understand but is my understanding Glenn Day is not going to be a full road. In other words it's going to be sort of a driveway that goes to them and a driveway that goes to you, but no exterior exit. Is that correct? Correct. So between the bill project and our projects, who will fill the full section of Glen Day up to their entrance and then up to our entrance, who will not connect to the South Collins Street. Okay. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Other questions for the applicant? Okay, seeing none, we'll move to any speakers, Mr. Buskin. Yes, sir. We have two speakers in support and one speaker in opposition. The first speaker in support is David Pettit. the first speaker in support is David Pettit? This is Natalie Moore. I am with David Pettit economic development. That's my employer. We are at 306 West Seven Street, Fort Worth, Texas 7 6102. I was hired by the applicant to perform an economic development impact analysis. Douglass did hit on it, but I did want to speak in support. At our firm, we specialize in analyzing the tax impact of different development over a period of time. And as Douglass mentioned, what we did is we looked at the implications of different zoning scenarios. We looked at retail if it were to remain zoned as is multi-family, which the developer is proposing, which we do consider to be a commercial use. And then we also looked at office and then single family and the impacts of all four of those. And as Douglas mentioned, not only in terms of the tax increment value to the city of Arlington, but to the taxing entities as a whole multi-family scenario too in our report was the most beneficial. And I also wanna speak on the reliability of the tax revenue that is generated by the different scenarios and properties that we looked at. Multi-family does not have the instability that can occur when it comes to sales tax revenue. And I think that's something important in our opinion as we work with cities throughout state of Texas and trying to figure out how to increase revenues to their general fund. And so that is what we looked at. And I just wanted to speak in support of it and contribute to the conversation. And I will be happy to answer any questions that anyone may have about our analysis. Dr. Farah Mars. Thank you Mayor. point that I'm curious about. He said, multi-family commercial adds the commercial tax base, but it's at the lowest level. Can you speak to the depreciation potential or the drain on services? In terms of depreciation, multi-family right now is an asset type that is very, very strong in the market. This is a class A multi-family project that is being proposed, which is kind of unusual, honestly, for the city of Arlington. It's something that isn't high demand, but there's not a lot of supply. And so it's our opinion that, and also based on our analysis of taxable, comparable in Tarent County, that's how we do our analysis, is that these types of assets actually hold their value for quite some time. And because of the shortage of this type of product in the market, we also believe that, if there was to become a need for the developer to try to flip the asset, there would more than likely be a significant reinvestment into it to keep it continued to hold its value as they try to market as I think Douglas mentioned to professionals that are looking for this type of housing supply. Thank you, Ms. Moore. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Okay, any other questions from Ms. Moore? Okay, Dr. Odom Wesley. I have a question, Miss Moore. I'm not sure if you're the right one to answer it. Do we know the plans for the commercial piece, the piece that's being reserved for commercial development? Is that going to be developed by this, this same developer or do we know what's gonna happen with that? I love the developer speak on that. Okay. All right, this is Carl Starrie, is beyond capital 3500 people. I have a new sweet 1600 bell spexes. The commercial zone property would most likely be a little bit on capital first of all. The capital group is a national developer. We developed distribution and industrial distribution properties. We've done some self-storage. We do single-family lot development, multi-family development. We got our start and have been really prolific in retail development. So we built a retail development about three miles out of here which was anchored by a marketing street brochure and it has a strip center retail with it and in similar pad sites with it as well. We look at these sites being long and linear, that they'll probably be more of maybe a couple uses next to each other, where a community commercial type script pad, where you look at the one of the advanced field, the Stray Artists out of us. Our uses there were a salada and eatses, a orange theory fitness, and an urgent care medical center. And it's very similar to what we're looking for here. This is not, this is something where the value comes in after Debbie Road is completed. It'll be good traffic, it's therefore a little green in a higher quality of tenants. So, you know, I think the type of use is that we see in those spaces that's kind of the use as you would see here. So, think, you know, and that's where we in the art focus is maybe urgent care, community service type of products, casual sit down restaurants. type of products. Just casual sit down restaurants. All right. Thank you. Any other questions? Okay. We'll move to the next speaker. Our next speaker is our first speaker in opposition. It's Jane Lynn. I believe she was disconnected. We're going to try to get her back on the line now. They're looking at how you're the right. And and mayor, we actually have two speakers in the room and support that may not have got I'm going to go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and give your testimony. Yes, hello. It's Jane Lynn and I live at 2403 Havenwood Drive, zip code 76018. I don't live too far from this development as I live off of Highway 360. Now, tonight's agenda is very concerning. It looks as though there's an agenda to destroy this city. We need a moratorium on multi-family until this issue may be studied thoughtfully and thoroughly. Not too long ago, over 300 citizens signed a petition against departments in this general area by Debbie Lane and Highway 360. Council ignored the citizens and sided with the applicant that night and supporter to donate it to some of the city council members campaigns. This frenzy to frantically build the apartment and multi-family is creating traffic nightmares will lead to overcrowded schools and high crime. As it is, we don't even have enough police coverage in District 3. If I ever on the rare occasions see an officer in my neighborhood, it's usually reactive rather than proactive. Now, also, Arlington Sales Tax Revenue is down dramatically right now and it seems like this project would benefit Mansfield's tax base because that's where most of the retail is in this corridor. Now, if we want to go to Dream City, I think we need to step back from all of this flipping the flipping of zoning and examine how this will impact us all in the long term. And that's all I have to say on that right now. Thank you. Thank you. That's all the speakers that we had signed up sir. Okay and then Mr. Cooper if you want to state the name and address of the others in support there for you. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Mayor and Council members, this is Rob Growning, 7105 Lake Louise, on to Texas. This project, PD 20-DES, deserves the support of City Council, as this project will directly support the current and future businesses in Arlington. As I can attest, it is increasingly difficult to recruit and retain young professionals. The competition, but talent is fierce. We currently employ six young professionals which have graduated in the last three years. All six of them live in Class A, highly-eminentized multi-family communities. A few of them have recently married and are looking to start a family. None of them live in our own town. They live in Fort Worth, Irvin, and Green Prairie. As I talked to other business owners, similar to what we have experienced, they are routinely seen that young professionals lead to joint burns in Fort Worth, Dallas, and those other communities in Coal & County. One of the given reasons is the desire to live in highly and monetized apartment communities and minimize their drive time. His idea of conversations of how Arlington needs better paying professional jobs and the desire to recruit these companies to Arlington to bring those jobs. I would like to bring to the attention to the fact that when a company makes a decision on its location, a city which can satisfy their work force's housing needs and desires is a great importance. Thank you. Okay, we have two others. Thank you mayor and City Council. My name is Cliff McCoskey, 519 East Ward. mayor and city councilman Cliff McCoskey 519 Eastwater. The W360 project is a result of a lot of very thoughtful planning and good design, which accomplishes many goals of comprehensive planning and the criteria for planned developments. A few of the merits on PD 20-2 are, as seen by the success of similar developments in other cities in the Metroplex, this development is a highly sought after multi-family development. The sought after by the new generation of young professionals, Debbie 360 will offer a class I, class A highly-metatized housing, targeting UTA graduates and other young professionals, which in turn will help our next in business recruit and retain the next generation workforce. Also, Debbie 360 conforms to the city's housing policy of providing affordable, quality, and highly miniatized housing choices. And the Debbie Lane frontages reserved for future commercial community development, which will require city council approved development plan prior to the development being approved. There's also a significant tree preservation and the open space which will exceed requirements and facilities, low impact design, which is unique to development origin. The development will have significant and immediate economic impact is now at least point out on the city's tax base. And finally, Debbie 360 offers immediate and practical solutions to address existing traffic for Debbie Lane. Thank you very much. Thank you. And then, Mayor, I think we just have a's story here, the developer, maybe for the last Rebuttal. Okay. All right, great. I just call it all story, I think I'll cap the group. Go with me. I just want to bring about, I'm hearing and there's some concern about it. First thing I'd like to address is what select people are in poverty and understand what exactly classic commercial or classic multi-family is. What that means is an institutional buyer investor. An institutional buyer investor are your life companies, provincial, a pension fund or like the Fireman's fund. These large funds, the investment real estate, because real estate has a constant revenue stream that you will. Therefore, they rely on that to balance their investments for payouts of your life insurance policies or your retirement. So those are who our partners are and that is who we typically sell to. Those are who buy these large sizeable projects. You know, this project here is around a $50 million range. Some of my projects go upwards towards $200 million in value. This has a $50 million development value. Probably so way north of that. So you're looking at a significant investment and these large companies buy a lot of them. So they're professionally managed and maintained. So they keep their value in the built-in sustainable materials, grant countertops, all this stuff that lasts for a lifetime. Another thing I want to talk about is a little bit about the amount of product that's in that area. That seems to be a concern. I thought about it a little bit about the amount of product that's in that area. That seems to be a concern. That's not necessarily a concern. The 360 corridor, my market is gonna be basically the 360 corridor on either side. There are currently two projects that are under construction. One is about six miles south of Mansfield. One is about four miles north in Grand Prairie. And then there are the two that are in question kind of in our general area. One is a single family type of development. And it's 120 units in markets towards a different demographic than what I marketed towards. The prominent WLAN flat screen on 31 units, that is more comparable to a competition for me. But there is nothing else in that. Everything else is in the area is either a senior housing development or a tax credit development with both have different markets that we market to. The other thing I talked about is real quick, is some misconceptions of multi-family, one being impact on schools, and specifically that is not true. There are less school-aged children and multi-family overall, and this project, just to remind everybody, is a two-bedroom and one-bedroom project. We don't have facilities for children, that's not what we're marking to, we're marking to the young professionals that will work here at the Syngenite Furnm. And then another thing is really traffic. Traffic is less on this, especially at high peak hours because people who live in multi-family across the board in livestock. So they work at nine, they're your bartenders, they're your grocery clerks. They have different hours and therefore you don't really have this huge impact and weight during the rush hour times. And so I have a website I think most of you took a look at it and had so many other answers to you but I'm here for any other questions you have it back to you for your time. Dr. Nania says a question. with someone please address for my benefit and perhaps council. Re-emphasize why it is the owner of this property has been unable to sell to commercial product. Talk to me a little bit more about that please. Yeah, so, this is Carl starting in Leon Gagel. This property was brought to be by our retail development group. They look at it and when you do a study and you look at the pockets of retail and even the available commercial sites in the area, there are more that are better positioned with, if you will, enough heads and beds on all areas, all directions of the project. So an earlier slide, I know which one was in the presentation, there were some circles that demonstrated the three mile service area for these pockets, these nodes of retail. When you start, it's slide number eight, by the way. When you start looking at that slide, and you look at the baking commercial land that's around there, and then the development commercial land where you've got sands and lows and targets and home depots and these big box mega centers. And you start putting that three mile radius on them, they all overlap the same service areas that this site has. This site also has a service area that is greatly impacted by the lake to the east, so there are less residential units, less traffic that service this area. So that's kind of why it hasn't been received very well. Mr. Day has been in the Fin Day family been marving this for 15 years, I believe, for a commercial site. The type of offers they get are the types that I'm proposing. We have a letter as recent as January that they shared with me that was from a hotel developer that a lot of could say like a holiday and or something like that on it on one of the hard corners which we take up about two acres and then a the other one was a Starbucks developer who wanted a pad site you know so we believe that that's where the value is on that type of commercial use. And that's one of the reasons we're proposing. Let's keep that. Let's let the development come through with Debbie Lane and therefore provide the traffic that is needed for a real good competition of high quality retail. Any other questions here for the applicant? And Mr. Buskin, there are no other speakers. No, sorry, they're not. Okay, then I will, if seeing no other questions, so I'll now close the public hearing and ask for discussion from council members, I'll call upon Mr. Sutton. Thank you, Mayor. I was elected to district three and one of my concerns were the response time from our first responders in district three. The district have groans by leaps and bounds. We're starting to expand at the seams. I mentioned Collins Street. The capacity there with the schools, the campus, it draws a lot of traffic. And so I've actually set with a homeowner back in October of 2019 that was shot in the thigh at the posthoo fight broke out. Steading with the homeowner and having to talk to him about a response that took 12 minutes while he glared on his, aren't curved was an eye-op open experience for me and I looked at the response time and asked questions about response time. A few months before that mayor there was an incident on interstate 20 where a vehicle, It a pillar in a gafton flames. The pastor was trapped inside the vehicle. That from the time station 12 ran the apparatus, was 12 minutes. That individual died in route to the hospital, but bystanders helped him get out of that vehicle. So with our population growth, we're talking a total of 881 more units down south. We're talking busing at the seams and if we had to respond to a medically emergency with the growth and the density of traffic, I'm concerned for the tenants. I've actually set with an individual who bled. I'm concerned for the tenants. I've actually set with an individual who bled. I'm concerned about the time response, and I'm not saying they're all that way, but anytime response where it's delayed any point when we've got to make emergencies critical, our responsibility is oversee public service. We want to be able to deliver the best public service to our developers, to our citizens. And I don't know if we can do that when even though we're expanding Debbie Lane, but Collins is a bottleneck point. Mansfield Web Road is a two-lane road with no curves. But if we have to roll far station 16, I'm concerned about the response, not to say every instance is the response will be ideal, but I would like to see some more infrastructure improvement because we're growing probably one of the fastest growing districts in the city. And at at this point mayor I cannot approve the zoning change and I will make a motion to deny the zoning change. Okay we have a motion to deny do we have a second? Miss K Part we as makes a second other discussion. Miss Moeese. other discussion? Ms. Moise? You know that I have a great deal of concern about over building multifamily. One of the things that I did yesterday, I mean, let's back up just a second. One of the things that we have in Arlington is an overabundance of apartment housing that the unprofessionals do not want to live in because of the age of it or the condition of it, much of it is substandard. We need a program where we tear these units down and find developers, and I'm gonna challenge the developer that's right here today to look at finding something that we could replace with new housing and tear down substandard housing. But I did call and talk to one of our leading multi-family projects yesterday, and that's Arlington Commons. Arlington Commons is 96% occupied because of young professionals needing a place to live. There's a wait list for the one bedrooms and where they opened at a dollar 60 foot, they're now at $2.00 a square foot. So there is demand for this product. The question is for me, is this the right location for it? I guess this is a very hard, hard decision for me to make and every time we have one of these come to us, it gets harder. So I'm not going to try to sway anybody, but I'm busy right now making up my mind because there are a lot of matters to consider on this one. Dr. Nunez. This is another one of those agonizing decisions for me. I have not forgotten the neighbors who came out in forest and spoke against the other apartment class A apartments that went up on that actual on the very corner of Debbie Lane 360. I remember voting for that over the wishes of the neighbor. That was one of the more difficult decisions I've ever made as a council person. And I'm waiting on in my left hand the traffic concerns, the over building of apartments, the traffic, I'll even give credence to Marvin Sutton, councilman's Marvin Sutton's concern about the cause of being a bottleneck. I mean, I went online just now and looked at the maps and it's gonna be a real concern. The fire department is gonna have to consider doing some other things. We may even be forced to build another fire station down there or have some kind of an agreement with the Mansfield Fire Department. But on the flip side, Mr. Kronin, I made a really great remark that that that Councilwoman Moise was describing. We have a significant lack of class A extremely nice apartments that will attract that young graduate from UTA that keeps leaving our city to go someplace else. And I'm not sure how I'm going to vote, but this is not an easy decision. I keep thinking of all the apartments on the other side of 360. I keep thinking of all the traffic over there. Is this the right location? I'm not sure. Dr. Farah on my, oh, yes, Ms. K. Part. I'm sorry to interrupt. I kept my card up because I wanted to make a comment about my second. Is this the time to get out or should I wait? No, I think you can make your comment. Then we'll move to Dr. Farah Myers. OK. With regard to my second, I certainly heard Mr. Sutton's comments, but my concern is different. I do have a concern that I've heard council member Moellee talk about, about over building multi-family and while there's probably a need for class A, I don't think it belongs at this location. My biggest concern is, and forget the commercial zoning has got on it, I don't think that's the right commercial zoning for that track. I do think warehousing would be ideal there. And we know every warehousing thing we build in this city gets leased up immediately. The analysis that Miss Moore did didn't consider that. And to have that frontage right there and to have a straight shot almost to DFW Airport is ideal. And it's a very large track and we don't have many of those left positioned as well as this one is and that's job creation. Which I'm much more interested in and where you can put another multi family. So I felt compelled to be able to say why I seconded the motion of denial and it has much more to do with I think think, Councilmember Roy said today in the afternoon session about the highest and best shoes. I don't think more multifamily at that location where we could have maybe some light industrial that would fit nicely there and be job creation in my mind is the highest and best shoes. Thank you. Dr. Farah Mars. Thank you, Mayor. I going to pick up where my colleague just left off on highest and best use. I continue to ask the question and I think you all we heard earlier my comments about I think that it comes down to me the idea of having patients. When we think of building the larger macro city, we have opportunities each time we have a planning and zoning case to take an immediate incremental action. And I applaud the group for trying to bring a class A to bring something to our city. I appreciate the work and effort that went into this. However, I have to ask, not just as is the highest and best use, but the argument you made about the fact that Debbie Lane still needs to be filled out and what opportunity that would bring to your cat's site. I asked the same question of myself of once Debbie Lane is filled out, what higher and better use could we bring to that site? And I'd rather have the patients now to say no to this project and the patients to wait to see because I feel like if we don't check ourselves now, we are potentially zoning ourselves out of an opportunity to bring jobs and sustainable wage jobs and other opportunities to our city. In a city that I agree with Ms. Moise has a considerable number of opportunities for demolition and restructuring. So with that, I support commotion Any other discussion Dr. Odom Wesley Yes, I agree with my council members. We do have some difficult decisions and there are we do have some difficult decisions and there are advantages and disadvantages to every project and there's always at least three sides to every story and perhaps there are 12 to 15 sides to some stories and like all of you I've gone back and forth on this project and I think I've been down there three times to drive around it and look at it and try to understand it. And one thing that did come to me that has not been mentioned, well, for one thing, I do recognize the demand for the project. I think we need this type of multi-family housing in Arlington to keep our young professionals here. I think that point is well-made. I think it's a high-quality project and the question about the land that use and why there. It does look like it's getting clustered and congested and the traffic issues and all the other concerns but what came to me is I drove down there the last time was well this is where the land is. You have to build where the land is. We can't create more land. And so the question is, why are we developing down in that sector? Because that's where the land is. That's where the opportunity is. And until we do have a plan where we're going to demolish some existing structures and then put some new ones there, I think we have to build where the land is and so I support this project. Any other discussion? Okay, seeing none, please cast your votes and my dad there Miss Solishoon to give your speech about the explanation because we have a motion for denial. What does that mean? That is correct, Mr. Mayor, because there is a motion to deny a yes vote is approval of the motion to deny the project. If you vote in the negative, you're not voting approval for the project. You're just voting against the denial. So a yes vote approves the denial. So a yes vote approves the denial. Does everybody understand that? Okay, please cast your votes. Okay, the motion passes for denial. Okay, with that, we'll move to the next project. And I want to say thank you to Leon Capital for the work and time put in and I hope that we'll be able to find a nether project that is that we can't have an investment in. That will move to 11 to zoning case PD 20-6, Kestrel on Cooper, and I'll call upon the stove. Thank you, Mayor. Zoning case PD 20-6 Kestrel on Cooper. The 4.75 acre site is addressed at 2015 and 2025 South Cooper Street, generally located east of South Cooper Street and north of West Pioneer Parkway. The site is currently zoned as Community Commercial. The applicant is proposing a plant development for residential multi-family uses with the development plan. The site is currently developed and consists of existing structures that are over 50 years old in ripe for redevelopment. The proposal demolishes the existing structures and replaces with 90 unit multi-family project resulting in a density of approximately 19 dwelling units per acre, with three-story apartment buildings that consist of 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom units. The development proposes two access points both taken from Cooper Street, all the one is for emergency purposes only. Tech Start has denied a left turn at the median to go south on Cooper Street. Hence the future residents will be required to go north to the first light and turn around at the signal on Snoopy Fox Circle intersection. The primary building material proposed is cementitious fiber board and brick veneer. The applicant is seeking deviation to UDC requirements such as minimum dwelling unit size and number of parking spaces. Earlier this afternoon, I forwarded you the updated letter of support from Hannah. This evening, we have the applicant Megan Lash from OSDA industries presenting the case for us. Hello, Mayor and Council, are we able to turn my screen on? It says the host is controlling it. If not, that's fine. Yes, we are sharing the presentation right now for you. Great. I see that, but my video screen is not on, but that's fine. There we go. Thank you. Please scroll to slide two of the presentation. Good evening, Mayor and Council. Megan Lash, President of Osta Industries, owner developer of the Kestrel & Cooper project. We are primarily affordable housing providers and focus on urban and field development throughout Central Texas. Our business model includes long-term ownership of each of our communities. In addition, we include energy saving measures, public art, and even on-site management and maintenance in our boutique style communities. Please scroll to slide three and continue through slide seven. The next several slides are examples of some of our recently completed projects. Because we are long-term owners, the building materials we use inside the units are very important to us. Materials such as granite countertops, tile tubs arounds, and resilient flooring are all items that have a longer life cycle, but also make a more luxurious unit for our residents. We also have energy efficiency lighting, appliances, and plumbing fixtures. The next slide, slide eight, shows the on-site amenities that we have for the property, which include a business center, a fitness center, computers, printers, a multipurpose room with kitchen, playground, outdoor cooking and seating, a ride share stop, extensive outdoor green space, garages and covered parking. Slide nine, please. We also have newer support services as reflected on the slide free of charge for our residents. We know that transportation to the local school district is important and we've reached out to Mission Arlington to begin discussions as well as the Boys and Girls Club and the greater community missionary Baptist Church to discuss after school programming. Next slide 10. Starting in November we had several meetings with the Hannah neighborhood leaders and incorporated several suggestions into the site layout that you'll see today. We have been an ongoing communication with Hannah and want to commend them on their willingness to work with us and provide feedback throughout this process. Next slide, 11. Here's our unit mix and the breakdown on the level of affordability, which is 84% of the property that will be reserved for residents between 30 and 60% of the air median income. Slide 12. Here are the projected rents based on the air median income, which is currently 81,500. Next slide 13. The customer and Cooper development is very unique because we are redeveloping an existing property. We are in essence manufacturing land with this proposed development. This meets the goal of the city's housing policy to demolish and renew existing development. It is also an infill development that creates significant green space, which is something that we always strive to do. We are also preserving all significant trees on site. Next slide, 14. We made significant changes throughout the zoning commission hearing, all of which can be seen on the slide. Next slide, 15. Our proposed site plan includes 90 units and 154 parking spaces, which includes two residential buildings and one clubhouse amenity center. The site plan includes garages and cardboard. However, it was suggested that we show an alternate which includes a swimming bowl in the lieu of the garages. Because the cost of the garages are significant and we cannot charge the residents for their use, we can simply not afford to do both. This decision is obviously at your discretion. Slide 16 shows this as an alternate. You will see the vast amount of green space we were able to create with the site plan at the back of the site which us is a great amenity for our residents. Next slide 17 shows the elevation as you would pass along Cooper. Please move to slide 19. Slide 19 shows the lower impervious cover we are accomplishing with this site layout. Slide 19 shows the lower impervious cover we are accomplishing with this site layout. We are decreasing from the current 91 percent site coverage to 53 percent impervious covered. The next two slides 20 through 21 show the variances we are requesting. The next slide 22 shows the actual data for parking demand we track across our portfolio. This would be the 30th development that we've completed in the last 10 years. Parking is always a question no matter where we build and we find it important to track and build only what we actually need. We can track this information by requiring all residents to register their vehicles and obtain a parking permit. On average across our portfolio, we have 1.16 parking spaces per unit demand. Here, we are proposing 1.16 parking spaces per unit demand. Here, we are proposing 1.7 parking spaces per unit. Much like the senior parking demand, Arlington recently reviewed, we find that our parking demand is less because our demographic is primarily single-income households. Next, slides 23 through 24, should the breakdown of the 50% covered parking, and slide 24 shows the reduction of the overall traffic proposed with our intended use, which is a 359 trips per day reduction. Next slide 25 through 26 shows the generated trips proposed that the generated trips proposed by this development is less than 500. Therefore, the city of Arlington and Texas did not require a TIA. However, TIA TechSight did require that we added hooded median along Cooper. We also did a traffic analysis to verify adequate stacking for a left hand turn into the site and at the intersection of snooty fox. In closing, the slides 27 through 30 are the proposed elevations in building materials. This concludes our presentation. It feels nice. Well, We're very excited about this project and we appreciate your consideration. I respectfully request that you approve the zone change and I'm happy to answer questions because I know I covered a lot of ground very quickly. Any questions from Ms. Lash? Ms. K. Bart. K-PART. Thank you, Mayor. And thank you, Miss Lash. You win. You and I, Matt, I had discussed with you. I was very excited about this project and bring some kind of new product there along Cooper. But I was also concerned about the number of traffic incidents as we've had in that very vicinity and I know we've had at least one death when it was a mother pushing her baby in the stroller and I believe she was killed as she tried to cross Cooper. And then we continue to see people standing on that median even after text.put them up and I was hopeful we wouldn't see so many people. If there anything that you can suggest that we could do to make sure your residents know that they are supposed to for their safety and by law if you want to think of it that way to go to the signal to cross the street? Yes ma'am. I'm actually spoken with our management company since you and I spoke and we are able, we've looked at doing this in the past as well when there's been similar situations but provide a letter that our residents have to sign with their lease on a yearly basis and then also post information and signs right outside of the exit of the property and within the community space. I think when you get that information in front of people and actually even make them sign something that just tends to cause people to stop and think a little bit more before they take that action. So yes, I did speak with our management company and that's something we were able to provide. I just couldn't work all that in within the five minute speech. Oh, no, no, no, but I'm glad you and I had spoken about it because because you knew that was quite a concern for me. And then the other thing, so you're given us two options, one with the pool, one without a pool. And so but I don't know if it's a question for you or for Jensy, but if you if you have the pool, do you have what's the parking spaces you would have? The parking spaces would remain the same. We would still have the same number of parking spaces with the pool. And without we would just be removing the garages in the covered parking. So it is possible we could pick up maybe a couple more parking spaces just because we're just take up a larger width within the aisle, but it would probably be in the range of six to 10. So have you built other developments that did not have a pool? I have. We do a lot of urban and fill development that do not have pools. I will tell you to kind of speak to one of your concerns that we have, that you spoke about when we visited the other day, about safety and full safety. All of our pools actually have a tall fence around them with a gate code that has to be punched in and then of course proper signage for the children being accompanied by an adult. So it's I would say with our portfolio today, it's about 5050 of developments that have goals versus the ones that don't. Okay, and if you don't have a pool, do you have any difficulty leasing your places? Having this green space in the back, I think we'll be a very attractive especially with things that we are encountering and having to address where the way we develop. I think that will be a very attractive amenity. If we were heavily market rate development, have a higher percentage of market rate development, it might cause an issue, but you know, we, our preference just to lay it out there would be to have a pool. But you know, we also want to get to the finish line and build this project. So, you know, that garages have been something that has been heavily discussed. Okay. And Mayor, other council members ask questions, but then I have questions for Gents. See, okay? Okay. You bet. Ms. Moise. So I have a third option. I don't necessarily believe that freestanding garages, not part of the unit or a solution for anyone because it's, you know, my, the evidence that I've seen is that they become storage units. I would like to see, I don't know how many of those are garages and how many are discovered parking. I'd like to have the option of providing some covered parking just because of the Texas heat. I know from managing multi-family and managing retail and managing office buildings for many years. The parking that when you have no covered parking at all, it can become an issue in fact it can add value. So I mean, is that something to consider that you give us the pool that we don't make you build a garage is just to cover those same units with cover parking? That is certainly something that would be a significant help. The garage is alone, the 31 garages that we added during the zoning process with Planning Commission, does any commission excuse me. Those 31 garages cost the development $420,000. Yeah, that's what 31 garages. Yeah, the government won't cost that much. And I think if you just cover those for the shade, shaded parking, I think you have, I think we get the same thing as what I'm saying. So I'd like to ask the rest of council to at least consider pool and covered parking, but not garages. So we have 46 car ports currently with proposed. So then we would end up building 77 car ports. Right. Which we would be thrilled with. Yeah. I agree. For us as management and owners, it is a maintenance, it's a management concern to have to police that people are not just filling them full of stuff. Well, and here's the other point is that when you have enclosed garages that are filled with stuff, it's a parking place taken out of commission. It's not being used for parking space. And I'd rather that you have the parking. Okay, let's go to Dr. Farah Myers and then Mr. Shepard. to Dr. Farah Myers and then Mr. Shepard. Thank you. I just have two questions. It's lunch. First of all, can you indicate the amount of money it's going to cost to? First of all, all of the tenants are out of those buildings that you will be raising. Is that correct? None of the leases have been renewed. The leases all expire in most of the leases expire in December. They have a few that expire in the first quarter. And our contract shows for us to close after those expire, but nothing has been renewed. So we would actually, well, normally we would like to close like January 1st, December 31st, we're actually waiting five months, four and a half to five months to start the project in effort to satisfy some of the business needs for those tenants. Okay, and can you remind just, I know from the case notes, but can you just discuss how much it's going to cost to do the demolition? The demolition and a basement, which the abatement is the largest cost is roughly 250,000 dollars. So that does. Yes, and that's our current estimate. Of course, we will still have to have an abatement company go in and really do a thorough investigation of what needs to occur. That's just kind of our knowledge based on prior experience for estimate based on participants. You know, you're interested in my question about the abatement part. I was just in relationship to the choices that you've given us. I wanted to be clear about that. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Ms. Sefer. Thank you, Mayor. And my comments are really sort of responsive to miss Malice's. And it kind of ties back to something I said several meetings ago. And the applicant and I had a conversation about the garages. And we just had heated conversations about whether we should have carriages or not have carriages as part of our zoning ordinance. And then on two separate occasions, we had one applicant come back and asked to remove the carriages and we said no. And then we had another applicant whose case was a tax evapment case. They said the same thing that Ms. Lash said, we can't charge for them. Their storage space. The exact same story and we said no to them. And so I love her project and I would love to be able to have her project with a pool. And I would love to be able to have her project with a pool. But I'm not prepared to throw in the trash can, the change to the zoning ordinance we just passed 90 days ago, basically, to get a pool. So sorry, I'd love the project. And Ms. Lash and I had a lengthy conversation about this trade off. And anyway, those are my comments. Other questions from Miss Lash? Okay, Mr. Baskin, are there any speakers on this item? Yes, sir. We have five speakers in support. We also have 22 non-speakers in support. Our first speaker in support is Douglas Cooper. Believe he's in the Zoom call. Yes, can you hear me? Yes, we can hear you. Great. Well, thank you for your time this evening. We're very excited about this project. We'll be working with Megan and her team again. This is our fifth project with her in the first in Arlington. This urban and dual development can be a transformative project that helps for additional redevelopment throughout the staging corridor. Again, we're very close with Hannah on a lot of details, such as parking, architecture with the amenities, open space, tree preservation, and they're all very supportive of the redevelopment. The request before you this evening is paddled with current development patterns of the area and consistent with the conference plan. Overall, Kester on Cooper will support the residents and businesses in South Cooper Street corridor in the city of Arlington by providing much needed mixed income housing. Hope you see the value and importance of this development by recommending approval of PD 20-6. Thank you. Our next speaker is Rob Cronin. Good evening mayor and council members Rob Cronin 7105. Like Louise drive from Texas. I'm just throwing my general support behind this project. Like Douglas mentioned we worked above five projects now with Megan and her team. All of them are top quality projects. She does and cut corners and she just all her books are best put forward and and those are best to serve our residents. Thank you. Our next speaker is John Newburn. Hello. Our next speaker is John Newburn. Hello? Go ahead Mr. Newburn. State your name and address. Yes. Oh, no worry. Just whatever you're ready. Go ahead. Is it time? Okay. Yes sir. Go ahead and state your name and address to the right. Yes. Ladies and gentlemen of the City Council, I want to thank you very much for letting me speak. My name is John Newburn, and I am the owner of the subject property, which is your case number PD 20-6, and I also known as Kestrelon Cooper, and I'm calling in strong support of the project. Back in 1955, when I was just a little kid, my mom and dad came, they went way out into the country and they bought our land which is up for review today. And my dad started the business there which was Nationwide Avertide. Over time the property has been developed into a patchwork collection of retail buildings. Many of these buildings are over 50 years old and some are over 60 years old. This real estate has been in my family for over 65 years and I'm all that's left of that original family. Because my buildings are 50 and 60 years old, the maintenance building has become a real challenge for me, both financially and in time and labor. And while I'm thinking about this, some I want to say which I think is very important to me and I think it's important to you folks too. And that is that if this project is a radical force, all my existing releases with our tenants will be honored and full. And that's important for everyone. And everyone seems happy about it and they understand we're just moving on. I'm an Arlington boy. I was born here and raised here. I went to Westside Elementary School, out of junior high and Arlington high school. I love Arlington. It's my home. I know our city is keen on urban renewal. And I'm here to speak in support of the Kestrelon Cooper Project because this wonderful project will provide affordable, high quality housing for our young teachers, police, and firefighters. Kestrelon Cooper will bring vibrant and sparkle to this aging neighborhood. Over the last few months, I've gotten to know Megan last developer quite well. Trust me, she's a first class lady. And I know that she's gonna create this project and make it into something that's city, the neighbors, and all those who travel by can and surely will be proud of. I ask for your permission and good grace to move forward with Kestrelon Cooper because in my humble view, Kestrelon Cooper is the very best use for this problem. Thank you again for your time and thanks for listening to me. I appreciate you, thank you. Mr. Noberton, we thank you and sure is refreshing to hear someone who's lived here their entire life and speaks well of Arlington. Isn't it refreshing counsel? Because so many of our citizens love living here and we don't get many of them to call in like this and it is refreshing to hear Mr. Noobern talk about manufacturing land and redoing and here we have that opportunity. Thank you Mr. Nuber. Our next speaker is Alicia Gray. Go ahead and state your name and address for the record. Thank you. My name is Alicia Gray. I'm the president of part of Arlington Neighborhood Association. I live at 410 Baylor Drive, Arlington 76010. Good evening Mayor and Councilmembers. I'm asking a letter earlier today that I'm spoke to some of the staff recommendations for this project in particular that was about the fencing, discussion about amenities and the unit sizes of these projects. And so I did want to make myself available in case anyone had any questions. But most importantly, this project will fill a need that exists in our community in the Central Arlington area for affordable workforce housing. We have University of Texas Arlington, which is one of the largest employers in the city that is just north of that project, the city of Arlington, the downtown area, a lot of places that employ people who would meet the income eligibility requirement for this project. And it provides a safe and decent place for people to live. So, you know, we continue to express our support and look forward to a long partnership with Ms. Lash's company and with the Kestrel. Does anybody have any questions for Miss Gray? Miss Gray, I just want to say thank you to Hard of Arlington neighborhood. You guys are so involved and committed here to our city and very much appreciate it. I don't see any questions there for you but very much appreciate your testimony. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our next speaker is Derek Carter. So, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Carter. Yeah, I'm here. Go ahead and state your name and address for the rest of the week. Derek Carter, 209 Mill Creek Drawing, Arlington, 76010. Hello. Good evening, Mayor and Council. This is Derek Carter 209 Mill Creek Drive. I am the Vice President of Hanna. And we are in very much support of the project, Test Drone Cooper. My personal neighborhood is Mill Creek and we do back up to this property. And so it'll be right here in our backyard and we still support it. I think it'll be a huge improvement to the neighborhood and that's what we're trying to do is a neighborhood improvement, redeveloping and making things shining and do again here in Arlington, especially along South Cooper. Megan Lash has spent a lot of time with us. We truly believe that she does love the neighborhood like we do and I know that she's going to do a very excellent job in getting this project to perfection. Thank you for your time this evening. Thank you for your testimony. Mayor that concludes our speakers on this item. Our non-speakers in support are Cliff McCoskey, Andrea Taylor, Mike Jarrett, Mike Lewis, Tamron Nubern, Ryan Hamza, John Nubern III, Gina Adibary, Ray Wise, Gary Leeland, Matt Hamza, Richard Hartnett, John Hartnett, Naseeb Bista, Caleb Ulewale, Lydia Ulewale, Greg Morse, John Boswell, Charlie Garren, Floyd Dale, Michael Fera, and Alice Cruz. Okay, that concludes our speakers and non-speakers. I'll now close the public hearing and turn to the council. Miss K-Part. Thank you, Mayor. I have a question for our agency. Is she available? Yes, she is. So, Jensi, walk me through again because we've obviously had several zoning cases this evening. We're going to go ahead and walk me through again, the parking requirements for this site. So the total parking required for the UDC is 190 spaces. the DC is 190 spaces and the proposal is to provide 154 spaces. Okay. And tell refresh me again with regard to the garage requirement. So 50% of the total parking has to be covered parking, which includes car ports and garage parking. Garage parking specifically has to be 20% of the total required that per the UDC would account to 38 spaces and they will they are providing 31 garage parking spaces. So if it's if they're asking for a variance from 190 to 154. Correct. Yes. So how many garages will they need with 154? So with 154 they are providing 20% off the or proposed. So 31 spaces is meeting the 20% required. Okay. All right. And so if they put the pool and how many would they lose? I'm not sure. I think the developer will have to answer that question. Miss Kayquart. Yes, somebody else? Yes, somebody. Yes, Mr. Shepard here. Yes, Mr. Flash can speak to this probably much better than I can. It's a cost issue. If she has to build garages, she can't afford to build a pool. All right. So, OK, got it. All right. So if. Okay. But the she's she's asking for a variance from the one 90 to one 54 of the spaces, right? That is correct. Okay. So mayor, I'm I'm kind of ambivalent on this. So I'll make a motion and we'll see how the council feels about it. I would move approval for this. I certainly would like to approve it, but to Mr. Shepherd's comment, in the sense of fairness, I don't know how we can say you have to have garages to one developer and you say you don't. I mean, that's something we need to fix internally, not on a case by case basis, I don't think. So I would, I am willing to have the 154 spaces versus the one nonny that's required, but the garages have to be a part of that. So it's a cost issue. I realize they would not have a swimming pool but I think in the sense of fairness and consistency which we had a discussion earlier today that sometimes the developers have difficulty figuring out what we want that that would be my motion mayor. Okay we have a motion do we have a second? I see a second for Mr. Shepherd and now we'll have discussion Ms. Moeys. So I look at the numbers differently because I've managed too many parking situations and garages. to reduce the parking from 190 to 154. In my opinion, we're reducing it further 31 spaces because she can't keep people from using these storage. So now you realistically have 123 actual parking spaces, which is very thin for how many units, that gives her about her 1.16 parking ratio that she says is her absolute minimum. That's why I said I'd rather just have all of these spaces covered and give these folks a pool and you know we'll deal with the other, I mean, sometimes you don't, you know, two mistakes don't make a right. And I just think we're making this mistake to continue to require, you know, when we reduce the parking, we're reducing it a second time. I just don't like the way this is looking. Mr. Schoon. I mean, I'm going to approve the project and I'll do it everybody else once too, because we've got to get it built. But I don't agree with the thinking. Mr. Schiefer. And I guess the reason I'm so passionate about this is I brought this very issue up when the committee reported out on its findings concerning cover parking. I mean garage parking because I had two separate tax project developers contact me. And it's to me the very thing Miss Lash is saying. And you had my support I promise you. It's too expensive. We can't we can't rent them and all of those other things. And it was the council's decision, which I'm fine with, to continue to require garages for tax projects. And I guess again, the reason I'm passionate about it is because I specifically asked if we could carve them out of the requirement. And it was the consensus of the council that we not do that. So I wish we hadn't done it in the first place for this very reason, which is the reason I brought it up original. But in the sense of fairness, if we're going to do it, we need to do it and yes, if we see the consequences, maybe we need to go back and revisit that. But this zoning ordinance by decision every other Tuesday is, doesn't, doesn't work for me. So anyway, and I appreciate it. I love the project. I wish we didn't have a garage as a requirement, but unfortunately we did. Mr. Sutton. Thank you. And to my colleague, Sherbert, I do agree, and I do understand your point and point well taken. We decided on a number of garage spaces. And I think when we look at that and we look at waivers or deviations We should also look at what benefit the city receives in return for that so We're getting a redevelopment project there which helps that area We're also not increasing the density of that area because we still have home orders in that area to probably come back and rent those apartments and so I think You get when you do a cost benefit analysis on that and you look at the waiver I think the city in returns receive more of benefit from that development the redevelopment and it brings a lot more attention or trackness to that area Even though we're foregoing the parking that benefit the city gets or receive is humongous. And so I understand if we need to go back and visit the parking issue, I'm open to that idea. But right now I'm more leaning towards supporting the project. Thank you, Mayor. Mr. Shepherd and then Ms. Mollies. And Mr. Sutton to be clear, this is not a parking issue. It's a swimming pool issue. So let's be clear about what we're talking about. I agree with everything you're saying, what we're talking about is should we have a swimming pool or carriages? Ms. Moease. And I would argue that what I'm talking about is, I don't care actually if there is a pool, I care that there's more than 123 parking spaces for all admitted and from everything we've heard and I can drive over to Gibbons right now tonight and I can tell you every garage over there has stuff in it and the parking lot is full and you can't find a parking place because we reduced their parking and then we allowed them to use parking units for storage and she's right the management can't change that so it's just something for us to talk about in the next meeting Megan you may have to live with the 1.16 ratio of Units because you're gonna have a hundred and twenty three are really really get strict with the twenty with the 31 garage spaces you have really really get strict with the 20 with the 31 garage spaces you have, forcing people to park in them. You may have just to make all your parking reserves is what I would do. Anyway, that's all I'm going to say about for the project, whatever happens. Miss K part. Mayor, this is first reading, is it not? Yes. So between first and second reading, Megan, Jindsey, would you guys get together and see if there's a way to, because one of the things the committee talked about, I remember, at the time we were talking about parking spaces was allowing parking behind the garage. If indeed the people were going to use the garage for storage, that they could have horizontal parking behind the garage. So you do still have parking spaces. I don't know enough about your layout, Megan, to know if any of that would work. I would ask you to work with GenC and if there was changes on second reading, maybe we can resolve some of these concerns for tonight. But I'm willing to vote mayor if the council is ready to vote. Okay. Any other discussion? Okay. Please cast your votes. Okay. The case passes unanimously. Ms. Lash, thank you for your investment here in our community. And then also, it's been said, I want to mention again, thank you for redeveloping land here in our community. And thank you to Mr. Newburn here for recognizing this opportunity here too. And this is a great example of manufacturing land in an urban development. Miss Capehart. Mayor, I forgot to add to my motion Mrs. Lash's agreement with regard to giving her tenants the letter that they have to sign every year. It was implied but I didn't specifically make it a part of the motion. Do I need to do that, Mayor? You do and then Mr. Shepherd is already seconding and is everybody all right with that? Okay. Everybody's okay with that. And we could we could clean that up on second reading. We needed to. Yeah. Okay. Miss Lash, did you you were trying to say something to there? No, I just wanted to express my gratitude. thank you. We're very excited about this project. Thank you. All right, with that, we'll move on to the next one and thanks again, Ms. Lash, appreciate it. Dr. Farah Mars. Thank you, Mayor. I know this is a little bit. I appreciate the opportunity just to speak just before Ms. Ashley's. I just wanted to say thank you for hearing about four years ago when I first joined Council. When we started the looking at the 9% tax credit, the one of the things we all agreed on is we'd like to see infill building where we tore down. If we were going to do affordable workforce housing, we wanted to see building scraped and then refilled. So I just want to applaud you and thank you for bringing the type of project that we talked about in our original policy when we talked about the 9% tax credit policy back four years ago. I just want to thank you for bringing the first affordable workforce housing that actually filed that policy. Mayor Thank you for the endowment. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Miss Loshi. Thank you. Okay, next we'll move to 11.3 zoning case PD 20-5 Western Star 100-200 East Stevens Street, Miss Tobal. Thank you Mayor. Zoning case PD 20-8, Western Star. This 4.763 acre site addressed at 100 to 200 East Sieben Street is generally located east of Matlock Road and south of East Sieben Street. The site is currently Zoned General Commercial, G.C. and the applicant requests a plan development for residential multi-family 22 with a development plan. The proposal is for 84 unit multi-family development with one, two, and three bedroom units. The applicant has just sent staff a notification that he's planning to request a continuance to the August 18th meeting. This evening we have the applicant Michael Ash representing JES Development Inc. present his continuance request to council. Miss Kay Park before he does that did you want to say something? Mayor, we've been sitting here two hours. I need about a 10 minute break. But we can. This one seems to be very short. So at the end of this one, may we have a break? Sure. Absolutely. Go right ahead. I think I think Mr. Mayor and council members, can you hear me? Okay. Yes, we can. Thank you for the time to speak. I have spent most of the day with you as I've been very interested in what you've been talking about today. One of the things I overheard was that the council had some concerns about rezoning the site we were looking at without us knowing if we were at the tax credit. My understanding was that the council was concerned about rezoning the site, then finding out that the zoning would not come to us in this particular project and you'd be left with a site that was owned, multi-family, that you did not necessarily want to for some other project. Assuming I heard that correctly, I wanted to offer to continue the project to the 18th. What really was driving our speed was the desire to make sure we were in position in the event that one of the projects ahead of us dropped out. There are three or four projects ahead of us that have to get re-zoned. We don't know about that as we speak, but we'll learn a lot more about that over the next two weeks. So sometime in the next two weeks, I'll be able to share with you where we stand, whether or not we're likely to get credits, and bring back this matter for discussion. I really don't want the council to have to make a decision that they're uncomfortable with because of a procedural issue as opposed to on the merits. Mr. Ash, we thank you very much therefore that continuance and we'll plan on that for the 18th, Then appreciate it greatly. Great. Thank you, and I admire all of your stamina. Thank you. So with that, we will take a 10-minute recess. you you you I hope you guys are ready for a break. I was. I thought I need to stand. after our brief recess there. And the next item is item 11.4, zoning case PD 20-10, Eden Terrace, 2501, Ascension Boulevard, and 1830, North East, Green Oaks Boulevard, this topal. Thank you, Mayor Patem. Zoning case PD 20-10, Eden Terrace. The 8.66 acre site is addressed at 25-01 Ascension Boulevard, generally located east of Ascension Boulevard and south of Northeast Green Oaks Boulevard. The site is currently zoned as Community Commercial, CC, the applicant is proposing a planned development for residential multi-family RMF-22 uses with the development plan. The proposed 123 unit multi-family project results in a density of approximately 14.4 dwelling units per acre with one and two story buildings. This development proposes an appearance of high density single family development. A private access drive by sex the site into two portions that leads into the adjacent crogr development. The development proposes five access points, all of which will be gated. The primary building material proposed is Seaman T-Shis 5-Aboard. The proposal generally makes an effort through side design to provide a variety of amenities, open space, and preservation of trees. Approximately 20 post-tocks ranging between 12 to 30 inches in caliber are proposed to be preserved and 50 post-tox ranging from 8 to 36 inches in caliper are proposed to be removed. This evening we have Robert Kimball with ECM development presenting the case for us. Kimble? Good evening, Council. Good to see everybody. Grateful for the opportunity to present one of our new Arlington developments. It's been a while since we've been in front of you with a new proposal and we're very excited about a new housing type. We think it makes great use of a site that has been vacant for a very long time. So why don't we start with the fly-through quickly? If we could go to that, I think the fly-through does a great job visually of showing you what our dream is for this site. Thank you for whoever's in the background. That. Great Oaks of the Sension, over by the Croger. This is a very odd kind of leftover piece that never developed, probably for obvious market reasons mid-block retail has not been successful for a long time so it's good opportunity to take a fresh look at what's possible. You'll notice the quality of the architecture and the fencing and the landscape architecture would be consistent with our behavior and Arlington of our other projects. We really like porches and we love layered landscaping. We also like use programs you'll notice in the video. We created the same we call Muse or Prale, where we take the street out and face the houses onto a park. It creates a very nice living environment, foster's community. It's worked really well with an experiment in Buridian that we did and it it works so well that we integrated it throughout all the future phases of Buridian in a significant way. The other thing that we're doing with this development that we hope can be a standard in Arlington is we want through the PD to impose maintenance standards at all the tree counts and shrub counts and all the things that you saw and we can going to impose a maintenance standard on our self and perpetuity for the project, regardless of who owns it. We'd really like the city to have teeth and force maintenance citywide for any rental property if it's a house or a or multi family. We think that's critical for just the long term health of rental properties. You know, the landscape dies. They pull the thing out and they don't replace it. And it's probably a challenge to find funding for enforcement. And we would certainly be, would not be opposed in future discussions for the city of some kind of fee to help fund that for multifamily. I think it's important. The good developers are going to do it anyway, so it's it's really an effort to protect our multi-family from from bad owners. The next slide is just the mix, you know, the the oh if we could go back I'm sorry. We just want you to see the mix of one bedrooms, two bedrooms and three bedrooms in the general price point. 10 foot ceilings. We're doing duplexes on those small one bedrooms. Everything else is detached. We worked everything out with the fire department separations, things we learned from our Viridian experience we've applied here. And we're very excited to offer another rental potential that's less dance takes advantage of parcels that were kind of left behind and forgotten and you can see the quality of just the way we do our interiors. Next slide please. Again here's a look at the Paseos. Some of these Paseos have been positioned to preserve the post-oaks. As many as we can, we've removed some parking. We'll show you another exhibit where the trees were clumped to our best to preserve as many of the trees as possible. We exceed the requirements by 3 or 4%. As we get into engineering, we'll continue to look at ways if we can we can move that number up even further. You have my assurances. We're looking at that to to do even more if possible. Next slide please. Again, the architecture in the ports really provide a lot more living space than just the unit size. So you have private backyards where they can have a dog and they have these porches and then you're out on the piseos and many instances. So the lifestyle is quite good compared to what we do on our multifamily side where we have a lot higher density. We think that there'll be frankly a premium, although we can't demonstrate that yet until we do one of these, but we think people will find this highly desirable alternative, particularly in a post-COVID world. Next slide. The finishes inside here would be above a base level, probably for upgrade of what you saw in Viridian. So the quality of the tenant or finishes is quite good compared to a home in Veridian. Next slide please. I'm running out of time. This is just an example of where those big postdocs are where we've made an effort to remove parking spaces or put place art facades in what's a kind of geographically challenged side to preserve as many of the trees as possible. And again, well, as we get into engineering, we'll look for opportunities to continue to save some more. It's hard, as you know, but I will again, you have my word, we'll do our best to move some things around even further from what we've already done as we get down to inches on where things go. Next slide, please. I've known David Weekly since the late 80s, early 90s, he's the largest privately held homebeller in the nation now. He was just getting started back then. He just sold his company. He put a third in nonprofit. He put a third in an ESOP for his employees and a third in a family trust. And he's just a quality guy. He's going to be building this product. They do an outstanding job. Their customer reviews and variety and have been excellent. So we're they're going to be our builder partner on this. Next slide, please. The demographics that Arlington Commons, we think it will compete head to head, frankly. It's a similar demographic of people. The individual, these are individual incomes, non-household incomes. Half the project is 75,000 and up. And the other half is under you can see the distribution. We would expect a similar profile here. Next slide please. Mr. Campbell, if you could wrap it up, it's quickly as you can please. Sure. We'll just go to the tax revenue slide and wrap it up. You guys are real familiar with who we are. So we'll leave that part out. It's a great opportunity to make an impact on a site that's been really unproductive and probably won't be productive. So we're excited to add some money to the tax roles and hopefully some bonding capacity. But more importantly, I think we're gonna show you a single family rental program that you can point other developers to that want to bring you this kind of product and hopefully raise the quality level across for anyone who gets this approved hopefully after we do. So with that, I'll stop. Kimball. And I cannot, let me see here. Okay, Ms. Louise. Mr. Kimball, first of all, I know you've had a busy year, even without this. And I want to say thank you. The first time I met on this project was probably a year ago and you were busy with family matters and I met with two of your employees. I gave them some of my ideas. I expressed some of my concerns. I just want to say that when I looked at this again the other day, I saw it again with you probably four months ago, when I saw it again the other day, you've raised the bar even higher. And I just want you to know what a pleasure it is to get to bring this to North Arlington. this to North Arlington. North Arlington does not want new rental properties, but what I can say to them is this is different. You're going to be renting homes and for our seniors who are looking for a place to live and our young families who aren't quite ready to buy a home because they're paying off student loans. I think this is a great choice for them and I think it also will be lasticks. So I'm just really pleased. I just wanted to personally say thank you. I appreciate your hearing me on so many issues that I raised. Thank you. There were great suggestions. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Mouille. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Mouis. Any other questions from Mr. Kimball? No, I don't think so. I'll tell you, you could tell us. So the last time we spoke, we spoke a lot about maintenance. How are you going, you know, if you ever sell this project, how are you going to be certain that the next owner maintains it to the level that we've discussed already? What are you going to do in the D transfer that guarantees that? and we've given them language as part of our PD approval to give you enforcement on us. That is our suggestion. We would like to see an ordinance citywide that requires these kinds of standards for maintenance to be part of any multifamily or even rent in a single home. So we're doing the best we can, I think, if we're open to suggestions, someone else, whether we own a 10, 20, 30, you know, what you're really worried about is 30 years from now. And everything we're doing, we're trying to design it, we made a commitment to you to try and design it to where in 30 years it's constantly being reinvested in and maintained at the quality standards. So, Veridians designed that way, Arlington Common. So, our attempt here is to impose a fairly strict maintenance standard to the original, both in terms of maintaining these paint for a farmhouse architecture. It's really important that the paintings maintain and then, of course, the landscape architecture has to be maintained. So, we're writing that into the PD so that it will transfer to every owner as part of the approval. And I think you should pull our multi-family license if we don't maintain it. That, that, if any bank would panic, if, if something like that went on, it would force the developer to get his act together if he wasn't behaving. Well, and one more question that I would ask just so that everybody is completely clear on this, these can never be sold as individual homes. That's correct. This is planted as a single parcel. Now, we could, on another day, we could sit down and debate the merits of whether you individually platter or not, but we're still kind of working that out in our own mind as we go forward on when that's appropriate, but not for this property, no. No, no, I'd like to like what you're doing. That's experimenting with building because we have so many single family homes for Arlington and Rent and this size Product, but what happens is each individual owner maintains to a different standard So you don't have consistency in what I like about this and what raises up supporting it is I like the fact that you've got what how many homes is this 120 120 roughly 123 right now it may go down to 120 homes that are all going to be maintained the same and and that will keep up the consistency of the neighborhood and the value of the neighborhood so so I I if you brought this to me this size homes yeah I guess I would agree to let you sell them, but I like this experiment. I think it's wonderful. Thank you. That's it. Miss K Part. And then Dr. Nounia, Miss K Part, you're muted. I knew I was trying to get the arrow over there. Mr. Campbell, this is such an out of the box thinking. I've told you, don't you think I don't like about it? As you kept the Eden Terrace name, which you were going to do down here, and you couldn't get that property secured. But I'll let you take Eden Terrace up north to Miss Moeces area. Be gradually, I'll do that. But if you put our summer, we'll put up the site plan again where you've got the circle showing the trees that you're preserving and that kind of thing. If we could have that up on the screen again. And while they're doing that, thank you, Bob, for going out of your way even before we've required it with our new tree ordinance that hopefully we'll get passed about preserving the native oaks. I know you went back and took a second or third look at your site plan to try to preserve more. When you and I spoke, I think Nikki might have said there in the lower left corner, there was a significant stand of oak trees that you were going to try to preserve, but because of parking requirements, you weren't sure that you could. Do I have a location, correct, Mr. Kimball? You do, and there may be other opportunities as well where when we get to final engineering and it starts to be feet and inches we'll be able to save some more. We feel fairly confident about that. If we can get if we can get a little relief on the parking maybe a quarter of a spot that we can apply across I think we could save some more trees and we might lose a few units as we could save some more trees and we might lose a few units as well to save some more. So we're on board with that and looking forward to that challenge, simply bringing a surprise before we build it. Well, for those of us who are on the environmental task force who've had probably a closer look at the triordinance in maybe some of the others have. This is the very kind of thing that we were talking about that so if a developer comes in and will make an effort to save some of the trees that we find a way to negotiate so to speak, maybe that's the wrong term. But so I've talked with Jensi and asked if we were able to reduce your parking requirement by 10 spaces, could we do that without really jeopardizing the need of the parking, Jensi assures me no? And I spoke with you about a reduction of 10. If you thought that would help with a preservation of some of the oak trees. And you intended yes now is that still a case for you, Mr. Campbell? Yeah, we we we're we're going to look at particularly if it's a specimen tree and it's really hard to know until we get all the engineering done. But yeah, if we can get a couple more, if we can get a little more relief to play around with, as part of this approval, and we might be able to take a couple of units out, two or three units as well. We think we might be able to, once we get to final engineering, we get a little closer look at it, we can surely find a few more to say. Okay, that's great. Thank you, Mr. Kimball. And thank you, staff, for putting that up on the screen. So to my colleagues on council, this is exactly the type of thing that we envisioned when we were revisiting the tree ordinance in our effort to preserve most more of the cost timbers for us. And so this is a great first stab at this, and I couldn't be more pleased that we've got Mr. Kimble setting a high bar for us to continue to try to preserve some of the post-docs. So thank you, Mr. Kimble. Welcome. Thank you for your time. Dr. Nunez. Mr. Kimble, I'm in awe of your company and this project, so thank you very much for bringing this. My question is a little different. I have to come aware that there are companies out there that are going into multi-family units and citing contracts for several units, three, four, five, and then turning around and using them for short-term rentals. And my concern is considering your location and its proximity to a lot of sporting venues going forward in the future. How can you protect this development from being used in that way. Well, we know who we're releasing to. So those companies that are leasing to people, the amount of data we get from someone that comes in and the way we build relationships, it would be impossible for someone to come in and rent three units and do it as short-term rentals without our approval. So our own, we have our own management company and our own people, and we monitor that. We had some issues at Arlington Commons, so just so you know there's some real credibility behind what I'm telling you. We had an individual on Facebook who was using his unit for short-term rentals, and we had a little discussion with him about his exit from the community and he he stopped the he stopped doing that. But that was an individual who went through our process and lied to us. It would be hard for any corporate environment without our knowledge and we don't have any interest in that. I do think there are places where it's appropriate not here, but as you get closer to the entertainment district some things we're looking at it may make sense to have some short-term rentals and you allow it in those zones but we can we can control it strictly with our management team. Thank you. Welcome. Mr. Moise. I would just add a caveat to what Mr. Kimmel just said and that is that what gives him the power to control it is his lease and I don't need to ask him but I'm sure his leases are written such that they would not allow a tenant to rent for less than 30 days. So it's pretty easy to enforce. So it is common knowledge that we do allow some short term rentals. If the owner approves them in multifamily, that's a whole other story, but I appreciate that you don't want to do that here Bob. Thank you Mr. President. Mr. Buskin. Mr. Sutton. That's a comment quick Robert thank you for the Bob thank you for the product. I know in district three and maybe in other single district, we struggle with home rentals, the upkeep for the most part. And so it's refreshing to see a product where you know it'll be upkeepin' and I like your idea about an ordinance that kind of oversees and provides some regulations for those type of rental environments. The biggest thing we have is the yard and the upkeep of the house and we struggle to enforce that to a certain degree and I'm excited about product you're building in North Farlington and I'll be supporting it as well. Thank you. Yeah, I would love to visit with with the staff on things that maybe they could bring to you, citywide that where we can have more teeth and landlords doing what they should do without having to enforce good behavior. We'd be hugely supportive of that. Mr. Buskin, are there any more speakers? Yes, sir. We have two speakers on this item. One in support and one in opposition. The speaker in support is Nikki Moore. Not sure if she's on the Zoom call. I'm right here with more. Good evening. Good evening. Just, Councilor, thank you so much for the opportunity for us long-term residents of Arlington who have decided to start our business here in order to bring a quality product and to bring value to the state of Arlington who have decided to start our business here in order to bring a quality product and to bring value to the State of Arlington. We completely understand that as city officials and as State of Arlington, you're kind of stuck with whatever developers bring and what cover kind of quality that leads to down the road and we just appreciate the opportunity to put forth a quality that's going to provide value in the coming years and upkeep it in the way that it deserves. I know the owners of ECM and we want to drive by this side be proud of it. It has our children's names on it. And so we want to see this future for Arlington and bring good value. That's all I have to say. Thank you. Mr. Buskin. Our next speaker is our only speaker in opposition. It's I know the owners of the museum. Are you there, sir? Sorry. Go ahead, please. Hello. This is Viral Nana. I live at the 171-2 Sikamor Peak Trail, Harlington, Texas, 76005. I'm speaking in opposition. I really like the project. The only thing I'm opposing is the drive that's coming out on the eastern side, we're developing the existing car wash that's out there. And that private drive just want to make sure that's only an emergency use drive for fire trucks and that's not going to be for day to day use. I wasn't sure about that and I wanted to make confirm that. And the second thing was that it seems like the setback from the main road is very small. And generally when they put wood fences or something like that, they don't look as attractive and we're planning to do a very attractive project and we were required to have a much greater setback. So I'm not sure about that, but I'd like to hear about that. Thank you. Ms. Campbell, do you want to try to tackle those questions? Sure, I'm going to Nikki's are. This is her baby. I'm going to let her answer that specific question. Go ahead, Nikki. So that drive that he's referring to, that is going to be an exit only. It will be gated and then we'll have a Knox box lock on it for fire and police personnel to use in case they need it. So we will not be putting any additional traffic onto the private drive that Mr. Nanon is speaking on. And then also the Masonry, we're including Masonry France all the way around the perimeter and then along the private drive that actually bisects our property, we're masonry columns with broad iron fencing and that's really just to give visual continuity and to connect our our our two sides of our development. Um, said that the residents feel inclusive of one another. And then the setbacks, they're consistent with other setbacks of the multifamily surrounding us and other neighborhood developments along green oaks and extension. So we were consistent with the surrounding area. Thank you, Mr. Moore. Any other questions for the applicant? All right, seeing none, I'll close the public hearing and ask the council to take action. This is K-PAR. Thank you. Mayor Pro Tem. I move to approve. Mr. Kimball's case. I don't have the case number in front of me. I'm sorry, Mr. Kimball. With the added to the PD that we reduced the parking requirements by 10 spaces in order to allow him to make every effort to preserve more of the post votesdocs. All right, Ms. K. Partt. Ms. Mouisse, are you seconding that? Yes, yes. All right, Mr. Nunez also seconded it, so we're doubly seconded. Are there any more comments, questions? All right, if I could have your vote, please. We've got a motion for approval with stipulations by Miss K-Pard Looks like that's unanimous eight the zero one Thank you, mr. Kimball miss more. We appreciate your investment. Appreciate your creativity And your continued passion for Arlington and its improvement. Thank you very much. Thank you. Great full, very much. Take care. OK, we'll have the mayor come back in now. I think we move on to 11.5. five. Mayor, I surrender control of the helm back to you, sir. Okay, we have 11-5 zoning case PD-20-11, dangled PD-11-02, dangled drive, Miss Tobal. Thank you, Mayor. Zoning case PD-11-11, Dan Gold PD, 1102, Dan Gold Drive, Ms. Topel. Thank you, Mayor. Zoning case PD 20-11, Dan Gold. The 2.15 acre site is addressed at 11-1102, Dan Gold Drive, generally located on the north side of West Turner, Warnell, east of South Cooper Street and south of Dan Gold Drive. The site is currently zoned as residential estate, RE. The applicant is proposing a planned development for residential single family, 2015 and 7.2 with the development plan. In September of 2019, City Council had denied this applicant's previous trait zoning request to RS 7.2. The rationale behind the denial for the rezoning request was the potential of creating up to nine lots with that proposed zoning of RS 7.2. Since then, the applicant has been working on a PD request. The plan development limits the overall development of the property to four lots as reflected on the development plan. The applicant has chosen to use the base zoning of RS 20, 15 and 7.2. The applicant plans to renovate the existing one house on that property and build three new homes. The applicant confirms that all applicable UDC regulations will be met during the building permit stage. This evening, we have Eric Wall with Wall Construction LLC presenting the case for us. Mr. Wall, if you can state your name and address of the record and go ahead and give your testimony. there's a lot of people who are looking for a way there is there's Mr. Wall. Mr. Wall, if you hey guys, can you hear me? We can hear you. Go ahead and state your name and address and present the case. Be great. Eric Wall, 757, Bozac Lane, and his Texas 75119. Next slide, please. Thank you guys very much. I'm like she was saying we guys last year with a just a straight zoning case. Our plan has always been to just put four houses on there. And this is my first with rezoning slash plan development. So we kind of were at a standstill next slide. So it's kind of been an learning experience for us, but this is the existing site plan. There's a 1700 square foot house there currently and next slide. While we're planning on doing this, taking that house, there's been two or three other houses in that area that have been built up. And we're planning on adding four to six on our square feet, basically a master suite updating the exterior, updating the entire bringing it up to code. And we're going to keep as many of the trees as possible, I think, on the main house, we're losing like one, maybe two trees in that area. Next slide. And then as you can see, we're going to put three new homes. They're beside it are we're proposing to put three new homes there. Given them nice oversized lots with, especially with the COVID going on right now. People are kind of wanting a little bit more distance between themselves and their neighbors. But we are trying to keep as many of the trees as possible, I think, overall with the three new houses and the existing house that we're remodeling. We're going to lose maybe four to five trees. Can you go the next slide? lose maybe four to five trees. Can you go the next slide? These are just a couple of projects that we finished in the last two years. Both of them have been custom houses. One of them was actually in Arlington on an open lot. And then the other one we just finished up in O'villah. As you can see, we use masonry stone. Their energy efficient foam insulation, good quality product and would be good for the neighborhood. I'm up in any questions that you guys have. It's pretty straightforward so. Any questions for Mr. Goal? Miss K. Part. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mr. Wall. Mr. Wall and I had a couple of conversations. I don't know how long ago has it thank you, Mr. Wall. Mr. Wall and I had a couple of conversations. I don't know how long ago has it been now, Mr. Wall, about three or four months ago? What was pre-COVID? It's been a couple of months, yes, ma'am. Yes, it was pre-COVID, so it's probably longer than ago than that. But Mr. Wall's point, he had, he and his partner had come to the council with a straight zoning and we denied it because as we know He could have built Approximately nine houses there and not that he intended it, but zoning stays with property, right? So I appreciate you coming back to us and that we work through some of your issues and I think you've got a great project and to have Those deep of the lots out there is going to be incredible. I think you will find a lot of people want that and as we've heard several times in the last couple of weeks pre-COVID pre-COVID pre-COVID and now it's post-COVID right. So I'm very much in support of what you proposed. I'm anxious to hear what the rest of the council thinks, but I'll be glad to make a motion for approval. Thank you, Mr. Wall. Any other questions for Mr. Wall? Okay. All right, with that, Mr. Buskin, are there any speakers on this item? Yes, sir, we have one additional speaker on this item. John Dudley, I believe Mr. Dudley is in the Zoom call. Yes, I'm the real estate investor that owns the property. My name is John Dudley. 145 Hillside Lane, DeSoto, Texas. We've been working on this for a year, and we would like to get it started. We've got a lot of experience in building new homes and rehabbing a lot of homes in the Collins to New York area of Arlington, where we've done, I think that's all I have to say. Thank you, Mr. Dudley. Are there any other speakers now? No, sir. There are not. Okay. With that, I'll close the public hearing. And I'll call upon Miss Cape Art. Thank you, Mayor. Move approval. Okay. We have a meeting. Thank you, Mr. Dudley. Are there any other speakers now? No, sir. There are not. K. Part. Thank you, Mayor. Those are approval. Okay, we have a motion for approval. We have a second from Dr. Farr Myers and then we'll have some discussion here, Mr. Nunez. Or Dr. Nunez. No, I'm just seconding as well. Oh, okay. All right, any other discussion? Okay, please cast your votes. Motion passes unanimously. Mr. Wall, thank you for working with us and look forward to your investment here. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. Thank you. Okay, next. We'll move to 11.6 specific use permit. SUP 19-7 2011. Do all drive. Ms. Tobal. Thank you, Mayor. SUP 19-7 2011 Duol Drive. The .437 acre site addressed as 2011 Duol Drive is generally located south of Mansfield, Web Road, and west of New York Avenue. It is currently undeveloped and is zoned General Commercial GC. The applicant proposes a specific use permit, SUP, for an order service center. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval with the following stipulations that the SUP is granted specifically to this specific applicant, and shall be non-assignable and non-transferable. The SUP shall be immediately revoked upon the sale, lease, or assignment of the property to any other person or entity, and increasing the intensity of the use and or addition to the structure will require an amendment of this SUP. There shall be no outside storage or display of vehicles or any other products on the site overnight. The structure shall be used only for the expressly stated uses and shall exclude caretakers quarters as an accessory use. The SUP shall be immediately revoked if there are any other uses of the property other than the order service use as designated by the SUP. We have the applicant Sean Mansel with DFW CAD services presenting the case for us this evening. Hi, Sean Mansel, 747, Seaton Road and Mansfield, Texas. So, I've been working with the owner on this property, Mr. Hussam Rahal for the past several months and worked out the preliminary design plans with him. And so as was mentioned, it's a vacant half acre, about a half acre vacant lot there off just off New York and currently zone. If you go to the next slide, please. Right. So current zoning is community commercial and owner is proposing to zone for SEP request for auto service station. The current commercial zoning doesUP request for auto service station. The current commercial zoning does not allow for auto service station and so that's the purpose of the SUP request. Next slide. So these are the general services. They're going to be offered oil change maintenance tire service repairs, installations and inspections. Just minor auto services there. Next slide. Hours will be Monday through Saturday, eight to five, closed on Sunday. Next slide. This is our site plan. The owner has put a lot of effort into, we've had, there were a couple of easements existing on the site, presumably from previous owners who plan to develop the site that never went through with it and the owner has gone through to get an existing electrical as well as an existing gas easement abandoned by those owners of those easements to in order to maximize the use of the space and so we were able to get the building on there. Bay doors, there are five bay doors that will face away from all the roadways, and as well as the 24-foot fire lane access there as well. Next slide. This is our landscape plan pretty straightforward. We did, I think the requirement was for three large trees and we were able to fit about 12, I believe large trees on the site as well as about, I think 25% extra shrubbery as well for the landscaping on the site. Next slide. This is our elevation front, front of the building showing the 5 bay doors. We've added in awning roof parapet columns for different masonry types as well as color differentiations and the wall where the windows and doors are inset into the building as well per the ordinate requirements or next requirements. Next slide. This is the side and rear of the building as well, showing the small sign there on the side on the south side of the building as well. And next slide. Yeah, that will be the end of the slide show. So this is all I have to prepare to share if anyone has any questions. I can take those now. Anybody have any questions for Mr. Mansell? Okay. Mr. Sutton. Thank you. So I'm looking at the map here and you're right across from Arlington historic landmark the Web Baptist Church. are you aware there are several other automotive shops off webland? I think we have possibly five along webland. Yes, sir. The owner of the property is aware However, the owner just feels this is the preference. They would prefer theirs for his purposes in the business would be the audit service station. And the bays would be right behind RayJ's gas station, is that correct? Yes, sir, that's correct. Okay, I guess my concern is we have the landmark preservation overlay. We have a historic landmark adjacent to it. And then on the north side, you have the Web Community Center. And pretty much on the west and south side, you have residential. And I don't know if it's a good mix or good fit for that area. And so I just have concerns about how well it fits in the community. Yes, sir. I understand. We did discuss this with the owner as we as we worked through the project. Some of the concerns that had been brought up and we've tried to minimize those concerns with the accent features on the building as well as the extra landscaping features in an effort to minimize the impact of that but those things were taken into consideration as we work through the design phase. Thank you. the design phase. Thank you. Any other questions? OK. Are there any speakers, Mr. Baskin? Yes, sir. We do have one additional speaker, Hassan Rahal. I believe he back in the Zoom call with us. Mr. Rahul. I don't believe we have Mr. Rahul. Okay. All right. With that, then I'll close the public hearing and discussion. I'll call upon this K-PART. Thank you, Mayor. Recently, I happened to be in Mansfield, our sister city to the south there. And I came across an auto use building that was incredible. I asked Jensi to send staff out there to take pictures and I will tell you we need to raise the bar here. I was amazed at how sophisticated that auto use was. And what I've seen in this rendering, it looks like the bare minimum. Further, with all the conditions P and, I'm wondering, it looks like the bare minimum. Further, with all the conditions P and Z put on this, it was like they were just that proverbial square peg and around whole kind of thing. So, I cannot support the case and I'll be willing to make a motion for denial. Okay, we have a motion for denial. Do we have a second? Have a second for Mr. Sutton? Any discussion? Please cast your votes. Motion for denial is passed unanimously. All right, we'll move here to the next one. It is 12-1, ordinance am amending ordinance number 20-005 and ordering a Tuesday, November 3, 2020, general election for Council Single Member Districts 1 and 2 and Council at large districts 6 and 7 and designating Tuesday, December 8, 2020 for any runoff election that is required. In March of this year, Council approved ordinance 20-012, postponing the May 2, 2020 general election, pursuant to a proclamation issued by Governor Abbott, allowing political subdivisions to move their elections to the next uniform election date of November 3rd. This ordinance makes necessary revisions to the city's original election ordinance that ordered the May 2, 2020 general election pursuant to the Secretary of State's election advisory number 2020-12. I'd be happy to take any questions from council at this time. Okay. Mr. Sutton. I don't have a question just a comment mayor. I think I made the comment in the work session today. We do know we're in a pandemic and that some our voters will possibly go through a quarantine process. and respect the right to vote. The election division, the State Secretary of State has issued an advisory 20-14 that has a procedure that covers voters who may be in the process of being quarantined doing the early voting period in election day. They're still finalizing that. And I'm hopeful that we're able to do a robust campaign to advertise what those procedures are so the voters are where they can still vote even though they're in quarantine status. Mr. Busskin there I should say Miss Solis has already answered that you want to refer to that from your afternoon answer. Thank you Mr. Mayor yes we're looking of that from your afternoon answer. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Yes, we're looking into that process to see what all could be accomplished. And as we get the appropriate information, we'll be back to talk to the council about what their options are. Mr. Buskin, do we have any speakers on this item? No, sir. We do not. Okay. Then any other discussion? Or how about a motion? I see a motion for approval from Dr. Farmer's in a second from Mr. Shepherd. Police cast your votes. Motion passes. Next we'll move to 12-2 ordinance amending ordinance number 20-006 in ordering a November 30-20 special election. Thank you, Mayor. Mayor Members of Council, item 12.2 is first reading of an ordinance, amending ordinance number 20-006, ordering a Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 special election for the purpose of submitting to the voters, a proposition relating to the authorization of municipal sales and use tax pursuant to chapter 505 of the Texas local government code. And like the previous item, we're making revisions to the or the previous ordinance approved by council in compliance with the Secretary of State selection advisory. Okay, Miss Kaye Bart. Mayor, I have a question of other Mr. Baskin. Obviously we know what the election date is. When do we canvas the vote? Do we know what that date is? Councilmember It's normally three to 14 days after the election, and we normally try to pick the Tuesday that falls in that timeframe. I'd have to look up to see what date that is, but it's normally within the three to 14 days after the election. So we don't know if it's seven days or 14 days or somewhere in there. Okay, thank you. Any other questions, Mr. Sutton. Mayor, I was going to just move the motion. Okay. So we have a motion for approval from Mr. Sutton. We have a second from Ms. K. Partt. Please cast your votes.

State law requires that when management districts had issues bond debt that supported by ad valorum taxes that the governing body of the city has to approve it. city has to approve it. The purpose of the bond issuances for public improvements within the Veridian Municipal Management District. That's what I have. Oh, I'm sorry. Can you hear me? It was really hard to hear you there, but it sounds like you've concluded your remarks. Yes, sir. Did you want me to say it again? I'm happy to. Now, I'm sure that it was on the public record and we've seen the staff report. So less anyone on the council wishes for you to repeat it. I don't think it's necessary. I'm not seeing anybody indicate that they. Oh, Dr. Nunez. You're muted. Let me see it from Mr. Busken first. If we have any. No, sir, we have any. No sir we have no speakers on this item. All right Dr. Nunez has made the motion to approve. Looks like everybody is seconded. I could have your votes please. Motion passes unanimously 7-0-2. Thanks, sir. Thank you, Mr. Payne. Next we'll move to 13.2 Dallas-Calvoys-Lease and franchise agreement amendments and I'll call upon Mr. Trey Yevart in our city manager. Mayor and members of the council we have several resolutions on your agenda to make modifications to our arrangements with the Dallas Cowboys and AT&T Stadium in recent weeks given the COVID related impact and limitations on fan attendance. attendance. It games the team approached us in preparation for the potential that there would be severe limitations on fan attendance and so as a result they have significant seat license arrangements and they want to make sure to protect their fans as well as protect the additional year of economic impact to the city. So they wanted to secure one additional year on their lease. And so what we've done is restructured their 10 year option, which begins in year 31. And we've divided it into a one and a nine year option of which they would prepare to exercise the one year option now to secure the 31st year of the tenancy at the stadium. So we would recommend your consideration on these documents which mend the lease, the franchise agreement, the purchase option, as well as the lease guarantee to change the dates and lease terms parallel to what I just described. There are no other business terms that are modified from the previous transaction. Any questions here for Mr. Yelverton? Okay, seeing none, then I'll turn to Mr. Buskin to have any speakers on this side. No, sir, we do not. Okay. Then with that, I'll come back to council and ask for a motion. We have a motion. Mr. Shepherd, may I ask, can we take all these at one time or do we have to take them separately? You can take them all at one time, sir. All right. I'll make a motion to approve each item. Okay. We have a motion and we have a second there from Dr. Noon yes so with that please cast your votes. Motion passes unanimously and next we move to 14 ones on in case PD 20-14 River Park Hotel and Golf Center. Ms. Topel you want to share about the continuance here. Thank you Mayor. The applicant has requested continuance to August 18th for this case. Okay. So we'll hear this case here on August 18th, or excuse me. Yeah, August 18th. All right. Next, we'll move to citizen participation. And Mr. Buskin, if you can go over speaker guidelines and to court. Thank you, Mayor. Citizen participation gives a public Opportunity to make comments or address Concerns which are not posted on the evenings agenda. However, please understand that the mayor and Council are not permitted by law to respond or Address your concerns at this time as these Items are not included on the post-counsel agenda for This evening. The mayor and council may only ask clarifying questions And or direct staff to take appropriate action. Speakers will be given three minutes to make their comments. Okay, Mr. Buskin. Our first speaker is Ray Whitworth. Mr. Whitworth, if you'd state your name and address and then give your testimony. I can hardly hear you could you say that again, please. Yes, could you state your name and address for the record and then give your test number? Yeah, okay, here we go. My name is Ray Whitworth, my address is 270 towards other arms and taxes, 76 to 015. Now the purpose of my call is I watched the executive session here this afternoon. And I just wanna let's both know, though I served on the Trump-Lines committee. And the first question asked was why there are need for committee? What has not been two years since the implementation of care of women? We were quickly dismissed with a statement from chair that we were not charged by the City Council to discuss that. All these possible suggestions for change. The coordinator did the very same thing to following meetings and the question was ignored at times and answers were not forthcoming. That was the same approach. The chair of coordinator Jay, when we asked why there was, operating the committee, it has been made very clear that this was an image to display public input. When he outcome was already preordained, especially since the numbers of the committee was stacked by the mayor of the council allies that we didn't exist in term limits, so that may he run for another term, existing term limits for him and him from doing so. Now this is fitting in the I-Ballied denoters. The owners did what they were building on and approved the current term limits by 63%. That number of the council is sent to zoom input. The committee was assembled and rushed to meet the deadline to place this on the November ballot by the deadline. The name of Donald Vandergrim was brought up a few times. Mr. Vandergrim didn't wander far city but he worked with all the people not just the influence of two districts. He actually served the people. Now I myself I worked on Mr. Van Aggressor congressional campaign. I got to know him and we became friends and Mr. Williams you for your time. Next speaker please. Our next speaker is Andy Pryor. Mr. Pryor, you'd state your name and address of the record and then give your testimony. Good evening Mayor and Council. My name is Andy Pryor, 720 in the K-Street, 76010. What I'm going to be reading is a short statement from six members of the Tournament Committee. It was emailed to everyone on the council prior to the Stevens meeting. We, the undersigned, believe that the recently completed TLAC recommendation to see council did not properly reflect the views as expressed during the more than 13 hours of committee meeting tell. We came to the TLC with a variety of backgrounds and views, but quickly really is very quickly that our views were unwelcome. This was due in part to the overly narrow charge provided by City Council to the TLC and also to the unnecessary rush of holding four meetings over a 15-day period by first an Arlington history for an appointed committee of any kind. The TLSC's charge was to solely review the length and number of terms allowed at Arlington's current turnlets as passed by the voters in November 2018. But this in order to number points of view that we believe could have improved the TLSC's recommendations and provided a more comprehensive view of what's best for the City of Arlington. These points include that are not limited to liability, recall option, initiative and referendum, campaign finance reforms, and U of form election date option. Ultimately, this has been a missed opportunity for the City of Arlington as a whole. Instead of having an open and honest citizen led discussion of ways to improve the city, we had a rehashing of the 2018 election that had increasingly led to citizen distrust of the TLA city and growing distrust of the reasons why the City Council formed this committee. The final presentation of the TLA city included one item in particular that we believe stepped outside the charge given to the committee and if adopted by City Council will be seen as by the voters of Arlington as an overt effort to completely undo the very term that they approved. 12 out of the 24 members or exactly half of the committee, the voters advise the city council that it should eliminate all mention of a lifetime limit on the total number of terms someone might have in office. This is the most extreme recommendation the TLC made and it lacked a clear consensus mandate. It was not a clear majority as two members of the TLC made and it lacked a clear consensus mandate. It was not a clear majority as two members of the TLC were not present. We believe a more reasonable recommendation could have been made if cooler heads had prevailed. Therefore we wish to express in the strongest possible terms our opposition to this extreme recommendation and advise the City Council to not proceed further. Our collective opinion is that moving forward will result in opposition by the voters of Arlington to the rest of the TLC's recommendations and potentially the defeated ballot box of any candidate who supports them or council members who vote to move forward. These undersigned are Amanda Arizona, Slyat Asan, Gwen Hicks, myself Andy Pryor, Ray Whitworth and Billy Wilson. Thank you all for your time this evening. and billy Wilson. Thank you all for your time this evening. Our next speaker is Sherrod Perry. Mr. Perry, if you state your name and address of the record, give your testimony. Sure. My name is Sherrod Perry. And my address is 5911. Dangerfield Court, Arlington, Texas, 76017. Okay, shall I continue? Please. Okay. Yes, so, really like to say, my comment is regarding the mandatory mask. I understand that, you know, that policy was basically ordered by the Tarrant County judge. So at the city level, you all are kind of just following the orders that have been sort of mandated down to you. But I still just wanted to kind of offer my perspective on it as a citizen. All of the many, as this pandemic goes on, I'm getting increasingly frustrated with all of these one-size-fits-all type approaches where we're all being required, we're all being mandated to wear masks as though we are carriers of a virus when many of us are healthy. But we're basically being mandated to walk around as though we are not healthy and that we are a potential carrier. And there's actually a mountain of evidence. There's a lot of evidence that I've looked into myself personally that many scientists and many papers have stated that math can actually be harmful to the person wearing the mask. So as they keep trying to shame people into wearing masks because they're saying that, well, if you wear one to protect others, the counterpoint that I keep trying to shame people into wearing masks because they're saying that, well, if you wear one to protect others, the point, the counterpoint that I keep trying to make to others is that wearing a mask can actually create harm to myself. It limits my oxygen intake. It actually, I'm breathing in my own toxins and my own carbon dioxide. The mask itself is collecting germs. So in not only that psychologically, I just, you know, there's a dehumanizing effect of wearing a mask and there's a, there's all kinds of, and for many people, it causes panic attacks and anxiety, the wearing of a mask. So to say that it's selfish to not want to wear a mask is disrespectful to all the people who are suffering, you know, silently by doing so. And that's something I just want more administrators and more politicians to understand that it's not as simple as freedom versus, you know, or rebellion. It's about, it is about health. Okay, the refusal to wear mask is also a health issue for the individual. And it's also about individual liberties. Okay, and I feel like my individual liberties are being violated more and more and more as this pandemic goes on. And I'm speaking out now because I am set up. And like I said, and the virus itself has a 99-over 99% survival rate. That's also well as, that there's a lot of literature to support that. So we're doing all of these extreme measures for something that the majority of people have the immune system to fight. And those who are more vulnerable, we can isolate them. We can target them. We can protect them by allowing them to, you know, take treatments that will, you know, such as simple things, such as vitamin C and vitamin C and allowing them to, and advising them to limit their activities, but allowing the rest of us to go about our lives, those who believe that we are healthy enough to, to be exposed to this virus, we should be allowed to live our lives. Thank you very much for your testimony. Thank you for listening. Thank you. Our next speaker is Kim Fale. Yes. Yes, Kim Fale, 409 North Elm Street, Allenton. Max Wells, spearheaded the 2018 term limit ballot initiative and hard work in citizens participated in soliciting the signing of the petition. I recall a Sunday emergency meeting and it ended up our court injunction interfered with what the city was trying to hijack on work on the ballot initiative, but what turned out to be 11-dentiment signatures on this petition was of all of 9,000 certified signatures. So when you look at a hundred and 7,406 resident that voted in the November 6 election, what we... We were successful with 68% of the votes. So that equates to 67,000, 666 residents that go back to, it was that natural turn where I went to some media that said that 20 of 24 committee members were against tournament in the first place. So if you divide the $67,666 death votes into the HEMPIC 20 community members, that means each of those anti-term-ermet people unfairly has the weight of unwilling 3,380 votes each. Mayor Williams hinted a large majority of these committee members, and so he, single-handedly, could be subverting almost half of those votes for 2018. I was present and recall, me and William, saying he'd only be a one-time mayor. I asked him and others to ponder on what has changed that he would want was looking to be, and I'm limited amount of time. What happens instead of I tell him that he is using people to do his dirty work to undermine the will of the people? In the day session today, honorable, confident, Sutton, that he worked 20 years as an election judge, and he has taken oath to uphold the integrity of elections as we should on this one as well. Please accept the outcome of the 2018 election and drop this wasted effort in horse and purge show after we have flavor of tournament. The only flavor I want and what we, the citizens, have spoken already, is what truly defines what turbulence means. And that is, we want to tune here three times terminates, not another lawsuit. Thank you. Our next speaker is Jane Lynn. If you could state your name and address the record and please give your testimony. Yes, hi, my name is Jane Lynn, live at 2403, Haydenwood Drive. And I just wish to respond to something that I'm so woman K-part suggested this evening about the possibility of building a warehouse on a track of land where the multi-family project got denied. I live in District 3. And the last thing we need is another warehouse, or warehouse jobs. We need to raise the bar for this corridor that is currently saturated with warehouse apartments and gas wells. These are the very factors which drove me to vote for term limits in 2018. Now I sat through the 13 hours of term limit committee meetings and one observation was that a consensus was not reached. It is curious how the watering down of term limits is being fast tracked while more important pressing issues impacting our communities are being placed on the back burner. I hope that you will reconsider not placing a term limit to referendum on the ballot as it averts the will of the voters. Thank you. Our next speaker is Mike Ledford. A term limit to being meeting at one operation at a consensus that one operation was not. Hello. Yes, if you could state your name and address to the record and then you can give your testimony. Yeah, Mike Ladford, my address is 1723, Breyer, Matoato 76014. I'd like to make my opposition known today to not have any change of the terms and accept them as written. My concern is our council is getting our setting our city up to be sued again. I hope you will ask and heed our city attorney's advice on this. From all research on privy to it won't be a full two years from the last chart or change. Our city is full of division at this moment and the effort to keep revisiting it will do nothing but make this matter worse. In this juncture of our city's history, Arlington can't afford this physically or emotionally, I watched all of the term limit committees meetings and to say the committee was confused would be an understatement. The committee's citizen feedback was overwhelmingly against term limits being changed. I don't feel this committee listened to the citizens by their votes. Council, please listen to the feedback you're given. Sometimes no action is the correct action. Please, Council, let's move on to the real post and mimic problems the city is facing. Our entire council gets so much right, and I commend you for that, but we continually keep getting term limits so wrong. Watching tonight's meeting, and as a side note, I noticed one of the speakers tonight giving a presentation and warning more development in part and apartments was also on the term limit committee fighting to change the citizens' term limits. Actually, he spoke twice on separate developments, as well as one phone caller that was on the committee fighting against the citizens' term limits. Now, I support development of Arlington. I truly do, but I find that ironic and part of the reason of the division and mistrust of the system. I want to thank each of you for your service. I pray for our city and our council. Thank you for listening. Our next speaker is Bob Yarborough. the bill. Thank you. Our next speaker is Bob Yarborough. Mr. Yarborough, if you could state your name and address for the record and go ahead and give your testimony. 2311, Peno Plane, Arlington, Texas, 76012. I just wanted to call and voice my opinion and let the mayor and city council know that term limits was voted on. It was approved by, I mean it passed by the majority of the vote and I just want to do it the mayor and the council know. As a council especially we are watching you. I live in district one and I have had people who really are who are much older time Arlington than I talking the 50s and the 60s that live in the area that have talked to me and ask what is going on. They voted against term limits, but with this show going on now and the lawsuits, the taxpayers are fed up, just fed up. So I just want to delight the mayor and counsel know we are watching and please just do the right thing. This is why we have elections. Don't try to water it down and change it. We all again knew what we voted for and I admire each and every one of you that I do believe that power is intoxicating and I do believe that it's time that some of the council members move on and I just, that's all I'm going to say, just I implore you all to do the right thing for Arlington. It's a great city. I love it, but I think it's just time that we get some more talent. There are more tom banded gifts out there. And we will just need to locate that person. Thank you and have a great evening. Mayor that concludes our speakers for citizen participation. Okay we'll move to announcements. Do we have any announcements? Dr. Odom Wesley. Yes thank you Mayor.
