AND DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING INDIVIDUALS THAT SUBMITTED COMMENTS VIA THE WEBSITE WILL ONLY HAVE THEIR POSITIONS READ INTO THE RECORD.
ANY WRITTEN COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SHARED THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, HAVE BEEN SHARED WITH THE COUNCIL WILL BE MADE PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS, THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR BACK AND FORTH DISCUSSION.
IT IS ONLY A TIME FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS US WITH THAT.
I HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP JOHN HANDY, BASMA.
GOOD EVENING, MR. BOSMAN, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
SHE'S OKAY WITH THAT, THAT JOHN HANDY PLASMA.
I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY AND THE MANY POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS YOU'VE BROUGHT TO THE CITY.
UM, ESPECIALLY THE GESTURES TO MAKE LANDER A MORE WELCOMING PLACE.
UM, AS I MENTIONED, WHEN I LAST TALKED TO YOU, OUR FAMILY MOVED HERE IN 2007, PARTLY ON THE STRENGTH OF WITH THE POLICE FORCE BECAUSE THERE WERE TWO HATE CRIMES AND LANDER REPORTED TO THE STATE OF TEXAS IN 2007.
AND YOU KNOW, MY WIFE IS BLACK.
WE HAD TWO BIRACIAL DAUGHTERS.
THAT WAS A MAJOR CONCERN TO US.
MANY OF OUR FRIENDS TOLD US, JUST DON'T GO TO A LANDER.
THERE WERE JUST A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED BLACK PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN MAINLANDER AT THE TIME.
NOW WE HAVE ABOUT 5,000, UH, IN LEANDER AND THAT'S REALLY REMARKABLE AND IT'S A WELCOMING PLACE.
AND YOU KNOW, PROBABLY 95% OF THE LEANDER RESIDENTS ARE TRULY REMARKABLE IN WELCOMING ALL ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM.
HOWEVER, THE THING THAT BOTHERS US IS THE FACT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PUBLIC DEATH THREATS BY A SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS, TO SEVERAL OF YOU WHO SIT ON THE DAYAS TODAY, CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS, AS WELL AS PEOPLE SETTING THE AGENDA SAYING THAT WHITE GENOCIDE IS GOING TO OCCUR OR WHITE ENSLAVEMENT IS GOING TO OCCUR OR REPLACEMENT THEORY EXISTS.
THE THINGS THAT MOTIVATED THE BUFFALO SHOOTER TO MASSACRE 10 BLACK CITIZENS, JUST WALKING INTO A SUPERMARKET AND SHOOTING OLD PEOPLE THAT BOTHERS US BECAUSE OUR FAMILY HAS RECEIVED THREATS.
AND WE KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO LEAVE LEANDER BECAUSE THAT'S IT LIKE THIS HAVE NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED OR TO OUR KNOWLEDGE PURSUED DESPITE THE WISHES OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND THEY POINT THE FINGER AT THE CITY MANAGER, SOME COMBINATION OF THE CITY MANAGER, UH, NO OFFENSE, UH, THE, UH, CITY ATTORNEY, UH, AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
I WOULD POINT OUT THAT THE LAST TWO DISTRICT ATTORNEYS BOTH, UH, RESIGNED AT SCANDAL OR, OR HAD SCANDALS.
AND THERE'S A CURRENTLY AN INDICTMENT FELONY INDICTMENT AGAINST AN ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY AS WELL.
SO THAT PLAYS INTO IT FOR US ABOUT HOW CONFIDENT WE ARE THAT LEANDER CAN BE A WELCOMING
[00:05:01]
PLACE.AND THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IS COMING UP ON A, ON A DIRECT THREAT MADE BY A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE FORMER MAYOR AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO SIT ON THE DAYAS TODAY TO SHOOT PEOPLE.
AND THAT DEADLINE WAS EXTENDED BY A YEAR BECAUSE THAT'S A HATE CRIME POSSIBLY UP TO SEVEN YEARS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ACCORDING TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IT WOULD BE A THREE YEAR AND THAT'S GOING TO EXPIRE IN TWO WEEKS AND NOTHING'S BEEN DONE ABOUT IT.
AND IT'S NOT LIKE CHATTER THE WAY IT WAS DESCRIBED TO TWO PEOPLE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THIS IS A DIRECT THREAT TO SHOOT ANYONE WHO WENT TO THAT EVENT.
IT HAD BEEN SIMILAR EVENTS, SIMILAR THINGS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE JUST WANTED TO HOPE A SIGN OR PUT A SIGN IN YOUR YARD OR SOMETHING ELSE LIKE THAT.
AND THEY'VE BEEN THREATENED WITH BEING SHOT IN PUBLIC INTERNET.
THIS IS HOW POLITICAL THREATS HAPPEN THESE DAYS.
THIS IS HOW RACISTS GET THEIR WAY.
THIS IS HOW THINGS LIKE RECONSTRUCTION ENDED AND HOW WE WOUND UP WITH JIM CROW.
AND YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS SOME SORT OF, OF THE CITY COUNCIL, SOME LOOK AT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.
SOME SENSE THAT LEANDRA IS NOT A PLACE WHERE HATE, LIKE THIS WOULD WELCOME AND WHERE HATE CRIMES SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED PROSECUTED AND REPORTED TO THE STATE AS THE TEXAS, UH, LEGISLATURE MANDATED SOME YEARS AGO.
WELL, WE CAN'T HAVE BACK AND FORTH.
I CAN POINT OUT IF YOU'D LIKE THE POLICE CHIEF IS HERE.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION.
I DO NOT HAVE ANYBODY ELSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
WAS THERE ANYBODY WHO WISH TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? ALL
[4. Recognitions/Proclamations/Visitors. Dumpster Painting Earth Day 2022]
RIGHT.WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM FOUR, RECOGNITIONS, PROCLAMATIONS AND VISITORS.
WE JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT TONIGHT WE DO HAVE FORMER MAYOR FIELDER IN THE HOUSE.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE, UH, VISITORS FROM OUR, UH, LEANDER ARTS COMMISSION.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE DUMPSTER PAINTING FOR EARTH DAY 2022, WHO IS PRESENTING GOOD EVENING, EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
UM, BUT IN ADDITION TO BEING THE ASSISTANT PARK'S DIRECTOR, I ALSO AM THE STAFF LIAISON FOR THE PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION.
SO TONIGHT I AM INTRODUCING YOU TO GEORGE QUIST.

UM, YOU KNOW, MY NAME SAM, I'M THE ANDREW PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSIONER.
AND, UM, I'M GOING TO HEAR HIM TALK ABOUT THE DUMPSTER PROJECT WE DID FOR EARTH DAY IN 2022.
UM, THE FIRST SLIDE WE'RE LOOKING AT IS, WAS DONE BY GLEN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
THEY'RE PAINTING A DUMPSTER AT NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL ON WEST DRIVE.
THIS IS JUST KIND OF AN OVERVIEW.
I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO READ THIS, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO LET THIS THE UNDER ISD STUDENTS GET SOME OPPORTUNITY TO GET INVOLVED WITH EARTH DAY AND HOPEFULLY BRIGHTEN UP SOME RATHER DOLL DUMPSTERS THAT ARE AROUND TOWN AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE THEM A HAPPIER PLACE.
UM, I WANT TO THANK TANYA CLAWSON OF AL CLAWSON DISPOSAL.
SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN HELPING US LOCATE THE DUMPSTERS THAT ARE CLOSE, I GUESS, WITH A CITY ORDINANCE.
UM, UH, SOME MEGAN LYLES OF LEANDER ISD.
SHE HELPED US GET IN CONTACT WITH THE TEACHERS AT THE VARIOUS HIGH SCHOOLS, UM, DO PAINTED THREE DUMPSTERS.
ONE'S AT, UH, CENTRAL TEST IT'S THIS HIGHEST SPCA AND THE OTHER ONES ARE AT NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL.
AND THAT'S ON WEST DRIVE AND TEXAS HUMANE HEROES.
UH, THIS IS A EXAMPLE OF STUDENTS WORK FROM, UM, GLEN HIGH SCHOOL AT, UM, NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL.
UM, THIS IS ROUSE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WORK AT TEXAS HUMANE HEROES.
THIS IS GLEN HIGH, SCHOOL'S WORK AT NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN, AND THIS IS THE, AND THIS WAS WHO WE WERE RECOGNIZING HERE TODAY.
I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL OF THESE PEOPLE'S NAMES, BUT ROUSE HIGH SCHOOL, MS. ALVAREZ HABITS, CDOT, UM, MS. LINDSEY MADCAP FROM GLEN HIGH SCHOOL AND CHELSEA CAISSON FROM RAND OR HIGH SCHOOL.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE IS FANTASTIC.
[5. Staff Reports Public Works Update]
ALL RIGHT.ITEM FIVE STAFF REPORTS PUBLIC WORKS UPDATE WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ELLISON.
I'M HERE TONIGHT TO PROVIDE A COUPLE UPDATES RELATED TO OUR CONSERVATION EFFORTS.
THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, SINCE I LAST SPOKE, AND THEN DAN IS GOING TO GIVE SOME UPDATES ON, UM, BCRA.
[00:10:02]
SO FOR OUR CONSERVATION COORDINATOR POSITION, UH, AS YOU KNOW, FROM OUR LAST UPDATE, THE POSITION CLOSED, UM, THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE POSITION CLOSED ON MAY 6TH, WE HAD 956 APPLICANTS.WE HAD 25 APPLICATIONS, WHICH WE REVIEWED, UM, IN THE WEEKS AFTER, UH, THE POSITION CLOSED.
UH, WE SETTLED ON FOUR CANDIDATES AND SCHEDULED INTERVIEWS WITH THE LAST INTERVIEW, UH, OCCURRING LAST THURSDAY.
AND THEN THE TEAM MET THE INTERVIEW TEAM INTERVIEW PANEL, AND WE MET KINDA THAT FRIDAY AFTER AND SETTLED ON A CANDIDATE, UM, REACHED OUT TO THEIR REFERENCES AND, UM, HR WILL BE EXTENDING THE OFFER TODAY, HOPEFULLY, UM, TO THE PERSON THAT WE SELECTED.
SO, UM, IF THEY ACCEPT, YOU KNOW, EVEN AS TOMORROW, THEY WOULD GIVE TWO WEEKS AND COULD START AS EARLY AS JUNE 20TH.
SEE SOME OF OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS.
UH, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE, UM, THE FACEBOOK, YOU KNOW, MESSAGE PIN TO THE TOP OF THE FACEBOOK FEED.
UM, IT'S ON OUR CITY WEBSITE AND MULTIPLE PLACES, UM, ON THE HOMEPAGE PUBLIC WORKS PAGE AND THE UTILITIES PAGE.
UM, WE MET WITH LA EL ISD, UM, TO DISCUSS, LIKE I MENTIONED, LAST TIME SHIFTING SOME OF THEIR DAYS, UM, FROM THURSDAY, WHICH IS TRADITIONALLY ONE OF OUR HIGHER USAGE DAYS TO SATURDAY, WHICH, UM, BASED ON THEIR HISTORICAL USAGE HAD A LOT LESS USAGE.
UM, THEY WERE DEFINITELY AGREEABLE TO THAT.
AND THEY ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THEY'VE ADJUSTED ALL OF THEIR IRRIGATION TO COINCIDE WITH OUR, UM, ORDINANCE.
UM, WE ALSO MET WITH THEM AND THE LSD CONTRACTOR FOR THE, UH, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NUMBER 29 AND BRYSON.
SO THEY HAVE, THEY'RE GETTING TO THE END OF THE PROJECT AND OBVIOUSLY WANT TO OPEN NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
SO THEY HAVE, UM, SEVERAL AREAS THAT THEY WANT TO PLANT AND THOUGHT.
SO WE DISCUSSED WHAT COULD BE DELAYED UNTIL AFTER THE SUMMER AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND HONESTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE PRETTY QUICKLY SO THAT THEY'RE NOT WATERING HEAVILY IN AUGUST.
SO, UM, I THINK WE HAVE A GOOD PLAN.
UM, THEY, THEY WERE DEFINITELY, UM, WORKED WITH US VERY WELL AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO AT LEAST DELAY SOME OF THE, UH, TH THE HEAVY WATER USAGE, UM, ROBIN AND HER TEAM ARE WORKING AND WE DISCUSSED IT WITH LSD.
UM, BUT THEY'RE GONNA WORKING ON KIND OF AN FAQ WHERE, UM, FOLKS GETTING TOWARDS THE END OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS HERE IN THE SUMMERTIME CAN DELAY THOSE, YOU KNOW, HIGH WATER USAGE PLANTING AND GET THAT CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.
UM, SORRY, CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.
UM, SO THAT THEY CAN CLOSE OUT THEIR PROJECT, BUT, YOU KNOW, DELAY THE PLANTING UNTIL AFTER THE SUMMER.
SO SHE'S, SHE'S WORKING ON THAT.
AND THEN, UH, WE CONTINUE WITH OUR HOA OUTREACH.
UH, WE'RE TRYING TO HIT KIND OF THOSE TOP, TOP 10 USERS IN THE HOA COMMUNITIES.
UM, WE HAVE A MEETING, WELL, THE HOA GREAT LIDDY HOA HAS THEIR QUARTERLY BOARD MEETING.
SO, UM, FOLKS FROM THE CITY ARE GONNA ATTEND, UM, PUBLIC WORKS AND THE PIO OFFICE ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE.
THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY A HIGH USER, BUT THEY DEFINITELY HAVE, YOU KNOW, PRESSURE AND ISSUES AND STUFF.
SO TO BE ABLE TO, TO HELP EXPLAIN THE SITUATION TO THOSE CITIZENS, UH, AND THE THIRD-PARTY ASSESSMENT OF THE IRRIGATION, UH, FACILITIES FOR THE CITY FACILITIES AND THE PARKS BEGAN THIS WEEK.
SO ONCE THAT WRAPS UP, WE'RE HOPING TO THEN MOVE ON TO THE PILOT PROGRAM THAT WOULD BE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS.
AND I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CHRIS, CHRIS, I HAD ONE QUICK THING OR TWO QUICK THINGS, ONE FOR THE HOA OUTREACH, WE JUST REACHING OUT TO THEM.
ARE WE ACTUALLY PROVIDING THEM WITH INFORMATION TO SEND OUT TO ALL OF THEIR AGE, THEIR MEMBERSHIP RIGHT NOW? WE'RE I THINK MOSTLY WHAT THE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM IS CONCENTRATING ON IS GETTING THEIR IRRIGATION BECAUSE THEY'RE THE HOA THEMSELVES.
AND THEN WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO ALSO REACH OUT ON THEIR COMMUNITY PAGES AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO SHARE OUR WATERING SCHEDULE.
WOULD THAT BE MORE THROUGH PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE OR SOMETHING? OKAY.
THAT'S I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S PART OF IT.
AND THEN LAST THING, UM, ROBIN, UM, YOU COULD JUST SAY YESTERDAY, UM, WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, UM, UH, POSSIBLY CONDITIONAL CO BASICALLY, OR CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.
IS THAT FOR INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCES OR IS IT FOR THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT? YEAH, SO THERE'S A SECTION OF OUR ORDINANCE WITH SITE DEVELOPMENT, FOR COMMERCIAL PROJECTS THAT ALLOWS TO LIVE LANDSCAPING, BUT WORKING ON HOW WE COULD HELP RESIDENTIAL.
WE JUST DON'T HAVE A CURE IN OUR CODE FOR THAT, SO, RIGHT.
AND THEN W IF THERE WAS A CURE IN THE CODE, OR THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WE MANUFACTURER, WOULD IT BE FOR LIKE THE OVERALL PROJECT THAT'S
[00:15:01]
COMPLETING, LIKE FOR, I WOULD SAY, UM, THE SUBDIVISION FOR THE SUBDIVISION.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COUNCIL QUESTIONS.
[6. Board Reports BCRUA update]
GRANTSVILLE, YOU'D BE GIVING US THE BCR UI UPDATE.UM, AGAIN, UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, DAN GRANTVILLE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF INFRASTRUCTURE.
UH, WE'LL BE GIVING AN UPDATE ON, UH, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE BCRA, UM, PROJECTS.
SO, UH, THESE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AND FOR THE PARALLEL WALL WATER LINE, AND FOR EACH OF THESE, I HAVE SOME, UH, VISUALS TO KIND OF REMIND NOT ONLY COUNCIL MEMBERS, BUT THE PUBLIC ON, UH, ON WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN, UH, FOR THE WORLD WATER LINE.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHEN THE ESTIMATED COMPLETION THE AMOUNT 6 MILLION, UM, JUST AS THE GOOD NEWS.
AND, UM, UH, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, BUT WE RECEIVED $5 MILLION FROM THE COUNTY THROUGH THE AMERICAN RECOVERY PLAN ACT, UM, FOR THAT PROJECT.
UM, SO THAT WAS APPROVED LAST WEEK AND WHICH IS GREAT.
ALSO, UH, WE SHOULD BE RECEIVING THE 60% DESIGNS FOR THEIR RAW WATER LINE THIS MONTH, UM, FOR PHASE ONE D UM, YOU CAN SEE, UM, THE COST, THE COST DID GO UP.
UM, IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE CLOSER TO THAT 20 VICE THE ORIGINAL 16 AND A MILLION, UM, LIKE THAT ONE WE'VE ALREADY DONE THE REVIEW OR THE 30% DESIGN.
UM, WE, SHOULD WE BE RECEIVING THE 60% DESIGN AS MONTH? SO BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE TRACKING, UM, PHASE TWO, UM, WAS APPROVED BY ALL THE COUNCILS.
AND SO THE NOTICE TO PROCEED, UH, FOR THAT CONTRACT WILL PROBABLY BE THE 20TH OF JUNE.
AND THEN THEY'LL DO A PRE-CON FOR THAT PROJECT, UH, AROUND THE 29TH OF JUNE.
THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY WITH THAT, AND THAT'S KIND OF BEING DISCUSSED ON, UH, WHAT THAT WILL ENTAIL.
UM, IT MIGHT EVEN BE DISCUSSED AT THE NEXT PCA MEETING, UM, PHASE TWO, A, UM, FOR THAT ONE, UM, THAT IS ONE THAT WE WANT TO PUSH FORWARD AT SOME POINT.
UM, AN ESTIMATED COST OF THAT IS ABOUT 50 MILLION US, DEFINITELY BEHIND, UH, BEHIND KIND OF THE NAPKIN, BUT, UM, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MOVING FORWARD IN, AND THAT'LL BE SOME NEXT STEPS.
AND THEN I CAN GO MORE INTO DETAIL ON, UM, ON WHAT THAT'LL MEAN.
SO I ALREADY WENT TO THE NEXT ONE.
SO THIS IS THE RAW WATER LINE, AND THIS IS A GOOD SCHEMATIC OF, UM, WHEN I TALKED ABOUT JOINT NON JOINT KINDA, UM, PIPE.
SO THIS WAS THE BALL JOINT THAT THAT'S THE SECTION THAT CAN BEND AROUND 15 DEGREES HAS LOTS OF FLEXIBILITY.
THIS WAS THE JOINT THAT'S SOLID, UM, RESTRAINED.
AND WHAT HAPPENED IS THE DOTTED LINE RIGHT THERE IS WHERE IT BROKE.
SO WHAT HAPPENED IS THE PIPE GOT OVERSTRESSED AND IT LITERALLY, IT LOOKED LIKE A SAW CUT.
IT LITERALLY DOES SNAP CAUSE IT'S DUCTILE IRON, UM, FAULTY.
UM, THEY, THEY THINK, UM, PART OF THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY, UH, SUPPORT SYSTEM, BUT ALSO, UM, IN THE NEXT LANE, YOU UNDERSTAND, BUT THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BALL JOINT BALL, JOINT BALL JOINT.
AND IN THIS CASE THEY WANT, YOU KNOW, A SOLID SECTION BALL JOINT SOLID SECTION.
SO YOU HAD A LARGE SECTION OF PIPE THAT WAS SOLID, AND THEN IT JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY.
SO THIS HAD 15 DEGREES WHERE THIS HAD 1.5 DEGREES OF FLEXIBILITY, WHICH IS ALMOST NOT VERY MUCH, THIS WAS THE ACTUAL BREAK.
UM, I'M JUST, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS SEEN BEFORE, BUT IT'S GOOD TO REMIND FOLKS, UM, THERE, WHEREAS WHERE IT SNAPPED RIGHT THERE, YOU CAN SEE PERFECT CIRCLE AND, AND YOU'RE, YOU'RE LOOKING THAT DARK SPOT, YOU'RE LOOKING INSIDE THE PIPE, THIS PART DOWN HERE IS WHERE THE PIPE ACTUALLY FELL TO THE FELL DOWN TO THE GROUND, ESSENTIALLY.
SO, UM, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN WE SAY THAT IT'S COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, IF WE DON'T REPAIR IT WELL, THAT'S WHAT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
NOW WE DO HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THAT SEGMENT OF PIPE AT THE BCR UA.
SO IT WON'T TAKE NEARLY AS LONG, BUT IT STILL TAKE TIME.
UM, THE PIPES PROBABLY 50 FEET INTO THE WATER.
THIS IS THE, UM, WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU HEAR ME SAY 1300 LINEAR FEET AND KIND OF THE HUNG, THIS IS, THIS IS THE 1300 LUNAR FEET.
SO TO KIND OF GIVE YOU FEEL, THIS IS THE BCRF BARGE, AND THESE ARE THE, THESE ARE THE PUMPS THAT ARE PROVIDING A WATER TO THAT LINE, WHICH IS RUNNING IT TO THE, FOR THE PLANT.
THAT'S THE BARGE FOR CEDAR PARK.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE THE LINE COMING
[00:20:01]
OFF IT.SO THOSE ARE THE BARGES THAT PROVIDE THE RAW WATER TO EACH OF THE, EACH OF THE PLANTS.
AND SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE LINE IS.
THIS IS AN OVERHEAD KIND OF EXACTLY WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.
SO THERE'S THE BCRA BARGE AGAIN, CEDAR PARK AND OURS.
THIS IS THE LINE SECTION THAT WAS DAMAGED, BUT IT GOES ALL THE WAY ONTO LAND.
AND THEN, UM, CONNECTS THE 78 78 INCH LINE AT DENVER, TAKES IT TO THE ACTUAL WATER PLANT THAT BCRA WATER PLANT.
SO, UM, THIS IS A SCHEMATIC OF THE BCRA SITE LAYOUT.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE NEXT PROJECT.
YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S PHASED IN A DIFFERENT COLORS.
THIS ONE, I HEAR THE LIGHT BLUE WAS THE ONES THAT ARE ALREADY BUILT PHASE ONE, A B, THIS IS C THIS DARKER BLUE THAT'S THAT WAS JUST COMPLETED.
THIS IS D THIS WAS THE ONE THAT, UM, THAT THEY'RE DESIGNING RIGHT NOW ABOUT 60%.
THIS IS PHASE TWO, A TWO B, AND THEN THIS IS PHASE THREE.
UM, THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THESE, YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THIS BEFORE, UH, TRAINED, UM, FOR THE SANDY CREEK A TREATMENT TRAIN.
SO THIS IS KIND OF LIKE ONE TRAIN.
YOU CAN SEE, UM, THERE'S ONE SECTION, UM, THEN HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.
AND THEN THIS WAS THE ONE THAT WAS JUST BUILT.
AND THEN THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE GETTING.
WE WANT BILL THEY'RE EACH ABOUT 10 MILLION, MAYBE 11 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY.
SO IF YOU ADD THOSE UP, WHEN, WHEN D COMES ON, WE'VE SAID IT BEFORE, IT'S ABOUT 42 MILLION GALLONS A DAY, EACH STRAINS ABOUT 10.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE, UM, AS YOU NOTICE, IT'S BIGGER, IT'S ABOUT TWICE THE SIZE OF THAT.
THAT'S ABOUT ANOTHER 20, 20, 20.
UM, AND THEN THAT GETS YOU, THE NEXT THREE GETS YOU TO THE 1 0 5, ESSENTIALLY ALL THE OTHER PARTS THAT YOU SEE IN DIFFERENT COLORS ARE ALL THE EXTRA EQUIPMENT THAT'S NEEDED, UM, TO PROCESS, BRING IN THE WATER PROCESS, THE WATER PROCESS, THE SLUDGE, AND MOVE THE SLUDGE OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND SO FORTH.
SO, UM, AND THEN, SO THAT'S THE WHOLE PLANT.
SO THIS IS PHASE ONE D SO FOR PHASE ONE, D THESE ARE, THOSE ARE THE COMPONENTS THAT ARE BEING ADDED.
OF COURSE, THE CR TREATMENT PLAN, UM, TRAIN RIGHT HERE, THEN AN ADDITIONAL FILTER AND THEN, UH, SLEDGE CAPACITY AND SOME ADDITIONAL CHEMICAL TANKS THAT ARE NEEDED BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN SIZE.
UM, WHAT'S, WHAT'S BEING ADDED PARTICULARLY ON THIS ONE ARE THE TWO RAW WATER INTAKE TANKS, UM, BECAUSE OF THE FLUCTUATION AND, UM, KIND OF THE TREATMENT SO MUCH, LIKE I'VE TALKED TO THE TANKS BEFORE, YOU KNOW, THE TANKS GIVE YOU A SURGE VOLUME.
WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING, BUT FOR THE INTAKE.
UM, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT, BUT, UM, THIS IS IN PHASE TWO, A, BUT THAT'S THE CLEARWELL TANK THAT I'VE MENTIONED THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING INTO ONE D AND IF THAT WAS THE CASE, THIS WOULD ALSO BE BUILT AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.
SO THAT'S THE, UH, JUST A CLOSER UP VERSION OF, OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
UM, AS FAR AS THAT TREATMENT TREATMENT STRUCTURE, THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S COMING NEXT.
SO NOW THE NEXT PROJECT THAT WE'LL WORK ON IS THE DEEP WATER INTAKE AS A REMINDER, UM, IT IS A TUNNEL.
SO YOU HAVE THE INTAKE, THE SUCTION, I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE BORN AS TUNNEL ALL THE WAY TO THE PUMP STATION, WHICH IS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO CEDAR PARK'S WASTEWATER TREATMENT OR WATER TREATMENT PLANT.
THAT'S THE PUMP STATION THAT, OH, THIS IS ALL BY GRAVITY.
SO THE WATER ALL GO BY GRAVITY TO THE PUMP STATION, AND THEN THE PUMPS WILL PUMP IT INTO THE, UM, TRANSMISSION LINE, UM, THAT WILL CONNECT TO THE 78 INCH WATER THAT LINED OUT.
WE'LL TAKE IT TO THE PLANT RIGHT NOW.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WE HAVE A LINE GOING FROM THE, FROM THE BARGE TO THAT RED LINE.
THAT'S THE DRAWING I SHOWED YOU BEFORE.
THIS IS GOING TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THAT, OF THAT LINE FOR THE BARGES.
UM, SO THIS IS A HORIZONTAL PICTURE OF WHAT I JUST SHOWED YOU.
HERE'S THE FOUR INTAKES AT THE VARIOUS LEVELS OF THE LAKE, AND IT'S GOING TO RUN DOWN VERTICALLY, UM, BY GRAVITY TO THE, BASICALLY A LARGE, UM, UH, INTAKE, UH, TANK AREA AT THE TUNNEL ACTUALLY BE PUMPED UP, UH, DAN HERE'S YOUR PUMP STATION.
SO ONCE IT GETS PUMPED UP, IT GETS PUMPED BACK DOWN INTO THE TRANSMISSION LINE, AND THEN IT GOES TO THE PLANT.
SO THAT'S THE DEEP WATER INTAKE.
AS A REMINDER, THERE IS WHAT THE PUMP STATION WILL LOOK LIKE, UM, RENDERING, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HOPING IT LOOKS THAT FANTASTIC.
AND THERE'S THE, A TREATMENT PLANT FOR A CEDAR PARK RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
THIS IS PHASE TWO A, UM, I MENTIONED IT BEFORE.
SO PHASE TWO, AES, THE LIGHT GREEN, UM, THAT'S THE ONE THAT WE WANT TO GET STARTED
[00:25:01]
DESIGNING LIKE YESTERDAY, BUT SOON.AND THEN THIS IS THE TANK THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DESIGNED WITH THAT PHASE, BUT THIS IS THE TANK THAT WE'D LIKE TO BRING UP SOONER THAN LATER, IT PROVIDES A MORE TREATED STORAGE WATER, UM, FOR ALL THREE CITIES.
SO THE NEXT STEPS AS, AS WE, WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, AND WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO PURSUE TO A RIGHT NOW THERE IS, AND I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, NO FUNDING FOR ANY OF
UM, SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AS A CITY IS THAT MAYBE WE FRONT THE MONEY.
AND, UM, I KNOW WE'VE TALKED WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND MIKE ABOUT POSSIBLY BRINGING A RESOLUTION FORWARD.
AND, AND THAT'S THE THOUGHT PROCESS FOR THE COUNCIL TO SAY, HEY, WE WANT TO MOVE TO EIGHT FORWARD.
WE WANT TO MOVE THE CLEARWELL TANK FORWARD.
AND THEN WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THE PEAKING FACTOR.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY THE NEXT ONE I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE NEXT ONE IS OF COURSE, THE 6 MILLION GALLON CLEARWELL.
WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT FROM PHASE TWO EIGHT TO ONE D AND THERE'LL BE A COST OF ABOUT $6 MILLION.
NOW I DO HAVE STATEMENTS FROM THE ENGINEER OF RECORD AND FROM, UM, KAY FREES, WHO DID THE, UH, PEAKING FACTOR STUDY, AND K FEES RECOMMENDS THAT THE 6 MILLION GABBY SIERRA CLEARWELL BE BUILT, LITERALLY THEIR TERM ASAP, THAT SIGNIFICANT REDUNDANCY AND SAFETY TO THE BCRS SYSTEM THAT WOULD GREATLY BENEFIT THE ABILITY OF THE CITIES TO UTILIZE THE PEAKING FACTORS GOING FORWARD AND INCREASE YOUR OVERALL SYSTEM SAFETY.
THIS PROJECT COULD BE DELIVERED MORE QUICKLY AND HAVE A LARGER IMPACT RELATIVE TO PLAN LEANDER PROJECTS, AND LANDER COULD CONSIDER PAYING THIS TANK UPFRONT WITH A TRUE UP IN THE FUTURE IN A FUTURE PROJECTS.
NOW, THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FROM WALKER PARTNERS, UM, STATED ISN'T IT, IT IS INTENSE ANTICIPATED, UM, THAT THEIR CLEAR RO WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF STORE WATER AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, THEREBY BUFFERING THE IMPACT OF THE CITY SIMULTANEOUSLY DIVERTING WATER AT A RATE THAT WOULD EXCEED THE TREATMENT CAPACITY.
SO IF YOU HAVE THIS CLEAR, WELL, YOU COULD HAVE A HIGHER PEAKING FACTOR THAN, THAN ONE, WHICH IS IN ANY THAT THE CLEARWELL COULD BE BROUGHT ONLINE PRIOR TO THE SUMMER OF 2024 TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL STORED WATER.
AS THE TREATMENT TRAIN IS BEING COMPLETED, WHICH IS PHASE ONE D WHICH I SHOWED YOU THE DARK BLUE ON THE DARN ECONOMICALLY INFRASTRUCTURE BUILT TODAY, COST LESS THAN INFRASTRUCTURE BUILT IN THE FUTURE.
WELL, WE KNOW WHOLE HARLEY, THAT'S A TRUE STATEMENT BECAUSE EVERY PARTY THAT WE HAVE GOING RIGHT NOW IS CAUSING A WHOLE LOT MORE.
SO WHAT ELSE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? WELL, UM, WE CAME UP WITH THIS CONCEPT TO, TO SPLIT THE RAW WATER AND A TREATMENT TAKE POINTS, UM, AND DIFFERENT AMOUNTS.
SO WHY CAN'T WE DO THIS? WE CAN DO IT BECAUSE WE'VE DETERMINED THAT THE, THE BARGE CAN PROVIDE WATER UP TO ONE D WHICH INITIALLY WASN'T DESIGNED, BUT WE DID A, UM, A TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM THAT ALLOWED THAT.
SO WE KNOW THAT THE BARGE, THE BCRA BARGE CAN PROVIDE 42 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER, RAW WATER TO THE PLANT RIGHT NOW WITH ONE C WE ONLY NEED 32 MILLION GALLONS.
SO IT WAS THE CAPACITY OF EIGHT OR 9 MILLION GALLONS OF PUMPING RAW WATER CAPACITY.
OUR WALL WATER TAKE POINT IS BEFORE THE TREATMENT PLAN, AND IT PROVIDES WATER TO THE TREVISO AND THE GOLF COURSE.
AND IT'S NOT A MUCH OF IT'S BETWEEN A HALF A MILLION TO A MILLION GALLONS, BUT CURRENTLY THAT'S COUNTED AGAINST OUR CONTRACT AMOUNT BECAUSE THEY SEE IT AS THE TOTAL AMOUNT, MEANING THAT WHEN WE ONLY THOUGHT WE HAD A CAPACITY PUMPING CAPACITY OF 32 MILLION GALLONS, THEN THE WATER HAS TO BE DIVERTED EVENLY.
AND SO IT WOULD COUNT AGAINST US RIGHT NOW UNTIL PHASE ONE D ISABEL.
WE COULD NOT COUNT IT AGAINST US.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AT THE OSI THAT THEY'RE WILD WATER WOULD COUNT INDEPENDENT, AND THAT WOULD HELP US, UH, WITH OUR DIFFERENCE OF EXCEEDING OUR, UM, CONTRACT CAPACITY.
AND THEY COULD CHARGE A SEPARATELY FOR THE WALL WATER AMOUNT, THE TREATMENT CAPACITY, IF ALL THREE CITIES WOULDN'T BE AFFECTED BECAUSE THERE'S A FULL 32 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY PUMPING CAPACITY AT THE BARGE, I COULD PROVIDE ALL THE WATER NECESSARY FOR THE TREATMENT ASPECTS.
SO THAT'S A NEW CONCEPT THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO BRING THAT WOULD HELP US WITH OUR, UM, CONTRACT CAPACITIES.
AND THE MORE IMPORTANTLY, THAT PEAKING HOUR, UM, INSTANTANEOUS USE, THAT'S A, THAT'S A CONCERN.
SO BETWEEN THAT AND THE PEAKING FACTOR, THAT WOULD DEFINITELY GIVE US SOME RELIEF UNTIL WE GET SOME OTHER THINGS IN PLACE.
AND LASTLY, UM, TO INCLUDE THE LAST ONE, UH, WE CONTINUE TO BRAINSTORM ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS, FACILITATE, UM, GETTING US TO THE END GOAL, WHICH IS TO GET TO PHASE TWO A AND STANDING BY FOR ANY, ANY QUESTIONS MR. GRIMSLEY, COULD YOU GO TO THE FIRST, I THINK IT WAS THE FIRST OR SECOND SLIDE THAT HAD THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS SHOWN.
[00:30:01]
I THINK IT WAS BEFORE ALL THAT.SO ALL THOSE ARE TOTAL FOR BCR UI, NOT LEANDRA'S PORTION, CORRECT? CORRECT.
SO EVERY TIME YOU SHOW THESE YEAH.
THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S TOTAL FOR THE PROJECT SYSTEM FROM THE, SO EVERYBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH, WHEN I, WHEN I TALK TO BCRA, I'M TALKING ALL THE CITIES, EVERYBODY 48% WERE FOR, FOR THE PLANET.
SO FOR 46.6, 7% IN THAT, AND THEN THE F THE $5 MILLION ARPA FUNDS.
IS THAT AGAIN? THAT'S TOTAL, THAT'S NOT POORLY ANDREW'S PORTION.
THAT'S TOTALLY THAT'S TOTAL FOR AN, AND WE'RE, WE'RE THINKING THAT THE PROJECT IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIVE AND SIX.
SO I PUT SIX BECAUSE, UM, I LIKE TO BE, YOU KNOW, A BUFFER, BUT RIGHT.
SO CAN YOU SAY AGAIN, THE, THE, THE BREAK THAT HAPPENED WHEN WE EXPECT THAT TO BE REPAIRED, YOU SAID IT WAS JUST KIND OF A, A PATCH, BUT IT'S NOT COMPLETELY REPAIRED, UM, MISUNDERSTAND THAT MORE OR LESS IT'S IT'S.
I MEAN, RIGHT NOW, SUPPOSEDLY WHEN THEY DID LAST LOOK AT IT, WASN'T HAVING REAL ISSUES.
UM, BUT IT'S STILL GONNA TAKE, UM, IN THAT TWO YEAR FRAME.
SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DONE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER, THAT THERE WAS 60% DESIGN.
SO WHAT ARE, WE THAT'LL HAVE 22 FINISHED BY THE END OF THE YEAR TO GET DESIGN, GET IT AWARDED, YOU KNOW, SO FORTH.
SO IT'S FUNCTIONING, BUT WE EXPECT IT TO STOP PART.
NO, IT'S, WE'RE, WE'RE HOPING IT NEVER BREAKS AGAIN, BUT WE'RE STILL GOING TO REPAIR IT.
CAUSE WE GOT A, WE STILL GOT SIX MORE YEARS TO GO AND CONSIDERING WHAT THE REPORT THAT CAME OUT, WE, THE IDEA IS WHY TAKE THE CHANCE, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND FIX THAT SECTION LINE.
CONSIDERING HOW LONG, UM, THE PLANT COULD BE DOWN BECAUSE OF BREAK ON THAT LINE.
I REMEMBER THIS, THIS DRAWING RIGHT HERE, THESE NUMBERS RIGHT HERE ARE SHOWING YOU HOW DEEP IT IS.
SO 54 FEET AND 64 FEET, UM, IN THAT RANGE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S HOW DEEP THAT THAT PIPE IS.
SO IT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO JUST GO DOWN AND SAY, I'M GOING TO FIX IT.
[ CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION]
OUR CONSENT AGENDA.ITEM EIGHT HAS BEEN PULLED FROM CONSENT WILL BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY.
COUNSEL, YOU'LL BE CONSIDERING CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS SEVEN AND NINE THROUGH 24.
ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
[8. Approval of amending the parking and street closures for Liberty Fest 2022.]
EIGHT.APPROVAL OF AMENDING PARKING AND STREET CLOSURES FOR LIBERTY FEST.
OKAY, GOOD EVENING, MR. TILLMAN'S.
APPRECIATE YOU HAVING ME MARK THOMAS DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION.
MS. ANDERSON IS ALSO HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL.
UM, WE'RE HERE TO BRING A SECONDARY PLAN FOR THE PARKING AND TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR LIBERTY FEST.
UM, JUST A LITTLE, LITTLE HISTORY, LITTLE BACKGROUND STAFF CONTACTED AND CONTRACT WITH THE HEB CENTER, AS YOU'RE AWARE OF ABOUT A MONTH AGO FOR THE USE OF THEIR PARKING LOT IN MARCH.
UH, WE DID THIS IN MARCH AND EARLY APRIL OF 2022 THIS EARLIER THIS YEAR, UM, OUR ENTIRE LIBERTY FEST PLANNING TEAM, UH, I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS A SOLID WAY TO ASSIST WITH PARKING FOR THE EVENT.
UH, IT'S SORT OF A TURNKEY ONE STOP SHOP IF YOU WILL.
UM, BUT, UH, AS, AS, AS AFTER YOU WERE APPROVED, OBVIOUSLY I'M A MONTH AGO, UH, AND WE'RE NOT OBVIOUSLY NOT POINTING ANY FINGERS, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME STEPS PERHAPS ON THE CEDAR PARK OR THE HEB CENTER SIDE THAT DIDN'T QUITE MAKE IT UP THE LADDER UNTIL AFTER WE MOVED FORWARD WITH YOU A MONTH AGO.
UM, BASICALLY I'VE TRIED AND MANY, MANY OF MY STAFF ALREADY KNOW LIVE BY THE MODEL AND NOTHING'S A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S A PROBLEM.
SO WE TRIED TO STAVE OFF PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY ARISE.
WE ELIMINATE THOSE PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY OCCUR AND KEEP PROBLEMS FROM BECOMING BIGGER PROBLEMS AND REALLY COUNCIL THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.
UM, AND WHERE WE FIND OURSELVES TODAY.
OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE SOME INTERNAL PROTOCOLS ON THEIR SIDE, UH, THAT WERE NOT MADE KNOWN TO US EARLY ON INSTEAD OF KEEP PUSHING AND PERHAPS, UH, CREATING A BIGGER ISSUE.
WE DECIDED LET'S MOVE AWAY FROM NOW AND UTILIZE OUR SECONDARY PLAN AND HAVE A GREAT 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION.
AND SO THAT'S BASICALLY WHERE WE'RE AT AT THIS POINT, AND WE'LL BE GLAD TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS.
SO, UM, I DID MAKE A CALL EARLIER TODAY TO THE MAYOR OF CEDAR PARK AND WE DISCUSSED THIS AND HE'S REACHING OUT ON HIS SIDE TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE PLAN A HAPPEN.
SO MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, UM, BECAUSE PLAY WAS GREAT USING THE CEDAR PARK CENTER WAS FANTASTIC AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK YOU ALL PUT INTO IT.
UM, SO MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, DO YOU NEED THIS APPROVED
[00:35:01]
TONIGHT OR CAN WE DO IT AT THE NEXT MEETING OR PERHAPS CONTINGENT TO, YOU KNOW, GIVING ANOTHER WEEK TO WORK OUT THE HEB CENTER PLAN? UM, I MAY HAVE TO REFER TO SOMEONE ELSE.I DON'T SEE PERSONALLY WHY YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DEFER FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS, BUT I MAY NOT KNOW THE PROTOCOL EXACTLY.
YEAH, NO, I THINK WE'RE FINE WITH THE PERMITTING PROCESS, BUT SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT WANT TO JUMP IN, UH, MAYOR COUNCIL, MIKE, NEW CHIEF OF STAFF.
I WOULD WANT TO, WE WOULD WANT TO KNOW FROM COUNCIL IF THIS WAS AN ACCEPTABLE PLAN AS WELL, BECAUSE WE EXPECT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THAT WE WILL IDENTIFY EITHER THE HIV CENTER PLAN, BUT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT THIS PLAN IS, IS POSSIBLY A PRIMARY AT THIS POINT, IF COUNCIL IS OKAY AND AUTHORIZES US TO DO THIS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO BOTH, BUT WE DO NEED TO START COMMUNICATING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE PARK ON EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC, WAIT TO THE NEXT MEETING THAT SHORTENS OUR COMMUNICATION TIMESPAN BY TWO WEEKS.
SO WHEN ARE YOU PLANNING ON NOTIFYING THE NEIGHBORHOOD? UM, WE'RE TRYING TO SET UP MEETINGS RIGHT NOW WITH THE, UH, THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS HAZELWOOD CRYSTAL SPRINGS IN COLD SPRINGS, BUT YOU'D HAVE TO SET THOSE UP ANYWAY, RIGHT? YES.
SO IF YOU WERE TO SET THEM UP NOW FOR A DATE THAT HAPPENS AFTER OUR NEXT MEETING, WE, WE COULD DO THAT.
UM, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE KIND OF LEAVING IT TO THEM FOR THE WHOLE MONTH OF JUNE TO DECIDE TO TELL US WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT FOR THEM TO SET THOSE MEETINGS.
I WAS GOING TO SAY, MAIL, CAN WE JUST APPROVE THIS CONTINGENT PROBLEM? THAT BASED ON PLAN A THAT IS NOT ABLE TO HAPPEN, THAT WOULD THEY DO FOLLOW THIS PLAN THAT'S BEING PRESENTED TO YOU TO NOT CONTINGENT WOULD WORK, WORK FOR ME.
I THINK THE COMMUNICATION PIECE, UM, AND THE OUTREACH PIECE IS IMPORTANT FOR US, BUT AS SOON AS WE KNOW SOMETHING AND SOMETHING'S CONFIRMED, WE WILL ABSOLUTELY COMMUNICATE WITH THE COUNCIL.
MY CONCERN IS THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT EVERY EFFORT WE CAN INTO PLAN A AND NOT LET IT FALL SHORT AND SAY, WELL, WE HAVE A BACKUP AND, AND PLAN A, I MEAN, WE'VE, WE WILL CONTINUE TO DISCUSS IT.
AND I THINK, UM, UH, WE HAD SPOKEN WITH RICK AS WELL ABOUT, ABOUT PLAN A, UH, THE HEB CENTER PLAN, UM, FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE, IT'S ABSOLUTELY A PLAN THAT WE FEEL LIKE COULD WORK.
IT'S JUST, WE NEED TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT EVERYTHING IS LINED UP AND BOTH SIDES ARE COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
IT ISN'T CEDAR PARKS JURISDICTION.
SO WE DON'T WANT, UH, TO PUT ANY UNDUE BURDEN AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT COUNCIL'S OKAY WITH, WITH THIS PLAN BECAUSE WAITING ANOTHER TWO WEEKS DOES KIND OF PUT A, KIND OF A TIGHT ROPE ON OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS.
SO IF WE APPROVE THIS CONTINGENT ON THE HEB PLAN FALLING THROUGH, OR WHETHER IT'S APPROVED OR NOT, THAT IS THE COMMUNICATION THAT WILL GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE NEED TO USE THIS AREA CONTINGENT ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH AGB THE COMMUNITY AND ARE OUR COMMUNITY.
WE WOULD NOT DO A MASS COMMUNICATION NOR COMMUNICATE TO H WAYS ABOUT CONTINGENT.
ONCE WE KNOW WHAT THE PLAN IS, WE'RE COMMUNICATING THAT PLAN.
UM, ONE, ONE GRACE A. LITTLE BIT IS THAT, UM, A LOT OF THE EXPECTATION AND SOME OF THE REACTION WE GOT FROM SOME OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, PARTICULARLY INVOLVED, UM, SOME MAYBE EXPECTED TRAFFIC THAT MIGHT COME TO COLD SPRINGS, PARTICULARLY, UH, FROM PEOPLE WANTING TO BE AT THE PARK.
UH, WE DID HAVE SOME LIMITATIONS LAST YEAR THAT WE DON'T HAVE THIS YEAR.
SO THE TICKET REQUIREMENTS, SOME OF THE ATTENDANCE MAY HAVE SAVED SOME OF THAT OFF THE WEATHER KIND OF DID IT FOR US, UH, LAST YEAR.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY, BUT THIS YEAR, I THINK WE'RE STILL EXPECTING GOOD WEATHER.
SO, UM, THAT MAY BE MORE OF AN ISSUE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE COMMUNICATE.
SO, UM, GIVING PEOPLE, UH, THE, A VERY FIRM BEST OFFER AN OPTION TO PARK EITHER AT HEB CENTER OR AT THE SCHOOL LOCATIONS, WE'VE DECIDED WOULD BE BEST THE EARLIER THE BETTER THAT WE CAN DO THAT.
SO WHEN YOU SAY THE TRAFFIC AT COLD SPRINGS, YOU MEAN BUSINESS, TRAFFIC, NOT PARKING TRAFFIC? NO, NO PEOPLE WANTING TO, TO COME TO LIKE WHAT PARK AND BE CLOSE TO THE FIREWORKS.
UM, SO W YOU KNOW, THAT COULD BE, PEOPLE DO TEND TO WANT TO DRAW CLUBS.
THAT'S WHY WE HAD OVER THE YEARS WHEN WE WERE NEXT TO ACC CAMPUS, WE HAD PEOPLE PARKING, HEB PARKING LOT.
AND FOR THE YEAR THAT WE HAD SORT OF OUR COVID RESTRICTED EVENT, UM, PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE CLOSE TO, OKAY.
SO YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT BUSINESSES LOSING BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY'RE HAVING TO PARK.
UH, AS FAR AS VENDORS FOR THE EVENT, UM, WE HAVE SPRINGS MARKET.
THAT'S PART OF OUR SITE MAP AND OUR, OUR EVENT PLAN.
SO, UM, SO IF PLAN A COULD WORK, THE STAFF IS STILL STAFFING AND IN AGREEMENT THAT THAT'S THE BEST PLAN FOR US SINCE THAT'S WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO US LAST MEETING.
I'D RATHER, I'D RATHER JUST CALL IT WHAT IT IS RIGHT NOW TO SO JU SO
[00:40:01]
JUST THE COMMUNICATION I'VE HAD WITH, AND THIS GOES BACK INTO THE SAME WEEK WHERE THE INITIAL APPROVAL OCCURRED.SO I'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING ALSO WITH, UH, UH, BRENDA, UH, MY COUNTERPART CEDAR PARK.
SO THEY HAVE THEIR 4TH OF JULY EVENT OVER AT MELBOURNE PARK.
AND SO I BELIEVE CHIEF HAS ALSO HAD COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR CHIEF.
PART OF THE ISSUE IS THE STAFF THAT WORKS FOR HEB CENTERS, NOT CITY STAFF, IT'S IT'S CONTRACT OPERATING COMPANY.
SO THEIR WHOLE CHARGE IS WHEN OUR STAFF CONTACTED THEM AT THAT LEVEL, THEY SAID, SURE, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND BOOK IT, BUT WHAT THEY DIDN'T DO THE NEXT STEP WAS WITH ANY OF THE, ANY EVENT THAT'S HELD AT THAT AT THE HEB CENTER, THEY TYPICALLY HAVE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLANS AROUND IT.
AND IN THIS CASE, YOU'VE GOT CEDAR PARK FULLY, FULLY ENGAGED.
AND THEN ALSO US WITH THE OTHER EVENT, HOW THEY BASICALLY PUT IT TO THEM, IF IT WAS ALMOST ANY OTHER DAY OF THE YEAR, UH, THEY WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE, BUT HAVING REALLY TRAFFIC, UH, IN BOTH PLACES OR THREE PLACES AND BOTH PD STRETCHED DURING THAT TIME WAS NOT THEIR, THEIR FIRST PREFERENCE ON THAT SIDE.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF CHIEF WANTS TO, I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARILY JUST, I CHALK THIS UP TO LIKE, THAT SHOULD PROBABLY SHOULD FOR THEM, OR FOR US JUST MAKE SURE THOSE THINGS ARE SET BEFORE WE GO MAKING A BIG PLAN.
BUT DO YOU NEED TO DROP DEAD DATE? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HERE TOO? IS THERE LIKE, LIKE IF WE DON'T HAVE SOMETHING A HUNDRED PERCENT IN STONE BY THIS TIME, THEN WE'RE GOING WITH PLAN B.
I THINK I WOULD BE VERY WORRIED FROM AN OUTREACH STANDPOINT IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A SOLUTION IN PLACE BEFORE THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.
SO CAN WE, WE CAN DO CONTINGENT UPON IF IT'S NOT DECIDED BY SURE.
I DO WANT TO GIVE COUNSEL A LITTLE BIT OF COMFORT THAT, UM, THE, THE PLAN WE HAD LAST YEAR, UM, WAS IT, DID, DID IT MAKE US NERVOUS ABOUT HAVING PEOPLE CROSS CRYSTAL FALLS PARKWAY? WE DID PROVIDE SOME, SOME A HUNDRED PERCENT BLOCKAGE ON BOTH SIDES OF CRYSTAL FALLS, ALBEIT A MAJOR ROADWAY ON HOLIDAY.
UM, IT HAD SOME SUCCESSES WE'VE DONE SOME TWEAKS AND IMPROVEMENTS ABOUT LIGHTING, ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT PEDESTRIANS HAVE SAVED CROSS ALL THE WAY FROM THE CAMPUS TO THE EVENT SITE.
SO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, I THINK, STRENGTHENED THE PLAN, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD LAST YEAR.
AND WE'RE VERY CONFIDENT IN THAT PLAN.
MY ONLY CONCERN IS WITH ROUSE.
I MEAN, IS THAT WHERE THEY'D BE PARKING AT THE RAIL SCHOOL? YEAH.
THEY DID LAST YEAR AND AIKEN AND STYLIST.
AND LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, CAUSE PEOPLE WANTED TO CROSS THE STREET, BUT I GUESS MY CONCERN IS RIGHT AWAY SINCE IT'S, WE HAVE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THAT ROAD AND WE'RE BEHIND ON CONSTRUCTION.
HAVE WE LOOKED AT STYLES OR AIKEN, MAYBE HAVING PEOPLE PARK OVER THERE, TH THAT IS PART OF THIS PLAN.
AND IT WAS PART OF OUR PLAN LAST YEAR.
UH, I'M GOING TO CALL IT PLAN B, BUT IT'S A PART OF OUR TRAFFIC PLAN THAT WE'RE PRESENTING HAVING ROLES.
BUT, UM, AND ONE OF THE CONCERNS, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR SOME OF OUR POLICE FOLKS, BUT IT WAS PART OF OUR DISCUSSION OF MOVING, MOVING, UM, BUSES, UH, EASTBOUND FROM THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN, GOING THROUGH A LOT OF THIS SIGNALIZATION, REALLY COMPLICATED, THE TRAFFIC PLAN.
IT WAS Y UM, LAST YEAR WE HAD SORT OF SETTLED ON, UH, RALPH'S WILEY AND AIKEN STYLES AS OPTIONS BECAUSE MOVING FROM AIKEN STYLES TO THE EVENT SIDE WAS A LOT LESS COMPLICATED THAN GOING FROM THE WEST SIDE TO EAST.
LIKE IF WE WERE LOOKING AT LEANDER HIGH SCHOOL, UH, WE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF OPTIONS AND I KNOW A PARKS STAFF CAN SPEAK TO THIS, BUT THIS REALLY SIMPLIFIED THE PLAN MADE IT LESS, CREATED LESS VARIABLES FOR POTENTIAL HAZARDS.
SO, UM, IT IS SOMETHING WE'RE, WE'RE COMFORTABLE STICKING WITH, IF THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
AND TO BE CLEAR, OUR PD CAN BE OUT IN CEDAR PARK IN FRONT OF THE HEB CENTER, DIRECTING TRAFFIC.
WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY WITH RESOURCES.
IT'S JUST WORKING THROUGH THAT COMMUNICATION.
SO, UM, HOW ABOUT I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS CONTINGENT UPON FINAL WORD FROM CEDAR PARK THAT WE DON'T GET THE HEB CENTER.
DOES THAT WORK, RICK? ARE WE GOOD WITH THAT? YES.
UM, ALL SECOND THAT I'M, FOR ME, IT'S REALLY ABOUT GIVING YOU ALL THE FLEXIBILITY AND I MEAN, Y'ALL RUN THIS PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, HOW IT GOES AND WHERE THE TRAFFIC NEEDS TO GO.
I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF, IF WE CAN WORK IT OUT AND THAT WAS PLAN A, THAT YOU'VE THE CAPABILITY IN A FEW EXTRA DAYS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO VOTE UP, APPEAR TO MESH ALL UP EITHER.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET FLEXIBILITY, BUT WE DIDN'T COME UP WITH THE FIRST PLAN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
RIGHT? SO THE FIRST PLANE IS THE BEST PLAN.
THEN LET'S TRY TO GET IT DONE.
AND IF IT CAN'T GET DONE, THEN LET'S ABSOLUTELY DO IT.
WE DID LAST YEAR BECAUSE IT DID WORK.
AND IF, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME OBSTACLES WITH IT, BUT IF, IF THAT'S, IF THAT CAN'T GET WRAPPED UP IN TIME FOR US TO DO THE PROPER, UH, OUTREACH AND MANAGEMENT, WE NEED FOR THE EVENT THIS YEAR, WE'LL CONTINUE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
[00:45:01]
IF THAT'S A VIABLE OPTION, WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT IT IN THE FUTURE EVENTS.THE FIRST PLAN I THOUGHT WAS GREAT, AND Y'ALL PUT SO MUCH WORK INTO IT.
HEARING MR. THOMAS, UP HERE TALKING ABOUT BACK IN MARCH, YOU'RE WORKING ON THE CONTRACT.
UM, WE APPRECIATE THAT AND I'M SURE I SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY WHEN I SAY WE WANT TO EMPOWER YOU TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THAT ANY WAY POSSIBLE.
AND WE ARE, WE ARE ABSOLUTELY ALL DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS, WHICH IS ALMOST EVERY DEPARTMENT IN THIS CITY ARE MAKING AN EFFORT TO GET AHEAD OF THINGS.
AND THIS IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE WANT TO DO.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION COUNCIL, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
[25. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider action regarding Zoning Case 21-Z-036 to amend the current Knight PUD (Planned Unit Development) with the base zoning districts GC-3-A (General Commercial) and MF-2-A (Multi-Family) on one (1) parcel of land approximately 9.938 acres ± in size, more particularly described by Williamson Central Appraisal District Parcel R583665; and generally located to the south of the intersection of US 183 and County Glen Drive, to the west of the railroad tracks, and north of the southern City Limits, Leander, Williamson County, Texas. Discuss and consider action regarding Zoning Case 21-Z-036 as described above.]
INTO OUR PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 25 CONDUCT, A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ACTION REGARDING ZONING CASE 21 Z 0 3 6 TO AMEND THE CURRENT NIGHT PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WITH THE BASE ZONING DISTRICTS, GC THREE EIGHT GENERAL COMMERCIAL AND MF TWO, A MULTIFAMILY ON ONE PARCEL OF LAND, APPROXIMATELY 9.938 ACRES PLUS OR MINUS IN SIZE AS STATED ON THE POSTED AGENDA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.UM, SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE, UM, THE NIGHT PUD.
UM, THIS ORIGINAL PUD WAS APPROVED IN 2018 AND, UM, IT APPROVED SEVERAL COMMERCIAL USES AND THE APPLICANTS COME IN WITH A NEW PROJECT, UH, TO ADD TO THE PUD.
THEY, UM, ARE PROPOSING A, A DOME FOR A TENNIS VENUE AND, UM, IT REQUIRES AN AMENDMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE ADDING MULTIFAMILY TO THE PROJECT.
IT'LL BE A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
AND, UM, THE, THE PRIMARY USE OF THE DM WOULD BE A TENNIS VENUE AND THEY COULD USE IT FOR OTHER TYPES OF USES OVER TIME.
UM, THIS DID GO BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, UM, AT THEIR MEETING MAY 12TH.
UM, THEY MOTIONED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST WITH A FOUR TO TWO VOTE WITH SOME CONDITIONS.
THEY REQUESTED THAT, UM, THE USE OF THE DOME WAS LIMITED TO TENNIS VENUE ONLY.
AND THEY ALSO REQUESTED THAT THE GARAGE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR MULTIFAMILY, UM, WERE NOT WAIVED.
SO PART OF THE REQUEST INCLUDE REMOVING THE STRUCTURED PARKING PIECE OF OUR ORDINANCE.
SO I STILL HAVE TO PROVIDE THE SPACES.
IT JUST WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE IN A, UH, ACTUAL STRUCTURED PARKING.
SO THE COMMISSION ASKED FOR THAT TO BE REMOVED.
UM, THE, THERE WERE TWO THAT WERE OPPOSED TO THE CHANGES.
UM, ONE OF THEM DID NOT AGREE WITH RESTRICTING THE USES OF THE DOME.
AND, UM, THE OTHER ONE DIDN'T AGREE WITH RESTRICTING THE USES OF THE, OR THE CHANGES TO THE PARKING.
UM, IT WAS A HARD TOPIC FOR THEM, BUT THEY DID COME TO A CONCLUSION I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THE APPLICANTS HERE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO BE HERE THIS EVENING.
UM, WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
I WANT TO INTRODUCE TO YOU THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM.
THIS ROW HERE OF DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN ARE THE LAND OWNERS AND THE DEVELOPERS OF THE PROJECT.
UM, GARY JONES IS THE ENGINEER AND RICK MES IS THE ARCHITECT AND I'M WORKING AS THE PROJECT COORDINATOR ON THE, ON THE PLAN.
SO, UH, AS YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS HAVE TROUBLE WITH THIS THING.
THIS AREA IS, UM, UH, APPROXIMATELY 10 ACRES, 9.94 ACRES.
THIS IS RUSH AUTOMOTIVE RIGHT IN FRONT OF BLOCKHOUSE CREEK.
SO THAT'S THE AREA THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, IN THIS PROJECT.
LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET TO THE, NO, NOPE.
SO THE PROPERTY WAS PURCHASED BY THE, UH, BY THE DEVELOPERS IN SEPTEMBER OF 21, THERE IS AN EXISTING PUTT ON THE PROPERTY.
AND IF YOU'LL NOTE THE PUD THAT IS CURRENTLY ON THERE WAS DONE FOR A STORAGE FACILITY.
SO IF THIS PROJECT DOESN'T HAPPEN, THEN YOU'VE ALREADY GOT APPROVAL FOR A STORAGE FACILITY.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU.
I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING WE'RE LOOKING AT.
UH, WE CONSIDER THIS AN ABSORBING OF WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE.
WE'RE ASKING FOR THREE POD AMENDMENTS, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT, UH, THROUGH, THROUGH THE PROJECT REAL QUICK.
THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE FOR A COMPETITIVE TENNIS FACILITY, BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR, BUT IT'S NOT ONLY TENNIS.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE DISCONNECTS, A LITTLE BIT OF A DISCONNECT THAT WE HAVE WITH PLANNING AND ZONING IS IT'S NOT ONLY TENNIS, IT'S TENNIS, PICKLEBALL, BADMINTON COURTS, THERE'S CO CORNHOLE CLUBHOUSE, UM, THERE'S AREA, IF WE WANTED TO DO BASKETBALL COURTS INSIDE, UH, THE WHOLE BIT.
SO IT'S, UM, IT'S MORE THAN JUST TENNIS.
AND I WILL STATE THAT IF WE'RE LIMITED TO TENNIS ONLY WE CAN'T DO THE PROJECT.
SO IT HAS TO INCLUDE THESE OTHER, UH, UM, SPORTING TYPE OF EVENTS THAT ARE INVOLVED.
IT ALSO INCLUDES A MIXED USE THREE STORY, WHICH IS A RETAIL RESTAURANTS LIVING THE SEMI-PERMANENT AIR SUPPORT A STRUCTURE FOR,
[00:50:01]
UM, COURTS, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT COST IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 20 AND 22 MILLION, AND THE PROJECT WILL GENERATE 50 TO 75 NEW JOBS.THIS IS THE SIDE OVERLAY AND AGAINST, IF I CAN GET THIS THING TO, THERE WE GO.
THIS IS THE RUSH AUTOMOTIVE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
THIS IS THE ACTUAL DOME FACILITY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, OUTDOOR TENNIS COURTS.
AND I'VE GOT AN OVERHEAD THAT WE'LL SHOW HERE IN A SECOND, BUT IT INCLUDES OUTDOOR, UH, LIGHTED, SECURE TENNIS COURTS, RESTROOM, SIDEWALKS, UM, CONNECTING SOME, SOME NEAT THINGS.
IF YOU REMEMBER, WHEN WE DID, UH, RUSH AUTOMOTIVE WAS DONE, THERE'S A DIVIDER WALL THAT'S PUT IN HERE FOR SAFETY.
THAT WALL WILL CONTINUE AND GO ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH THE PROJECT, WHICH IS A ROCK, UM, A VERY NICE FENCE, UH, UH, SCREENING AREA AS WELL.
WE WORKED WITH THE FIRE MARSHALL WITH CHIEF DAVIS FOR APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS.
AND THIS IS, UH, A TOUGH SCENARIO BECAUSE AGAIN, WITH PLANNING AND ZONING, EVEN WITH YOU GUYS, YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IT FOR A WEEK OR SO.
AND WE WORKED ON IT FOR EIGHT MONTHS WITH STAFF TO, UH, UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DESIGNATION WAS FOR THE, FOR THE CORRECT ZONING TO MAKE THE DOME, UH, VIABLE FOR THE SHITTY AND SAFE.
AND THE WAY THAT THAT IS DONE IS THROUGH WHAT THEY CALL THE
AND THAT'S WHAT WE, THIS WOULD FALL UNDER.
AND THAT IS LISTED IN THE POD.
THERE'S TWO PHASES TO THE PROJECT.
THIS WILL INCLUDE A RESTAURANT.
SO THIS AWNING RIGHT HERE IS THIS ON HIM.
SO THAT'S THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, THE BACK OF THE BUILDING.
SO THE SAS FOR A COVERED PICKLEBALL COURTS, IT'S A TWO STORY RESTAURANT BAR WITH ROOFTOP SEATING.
THAT IS THE ACTUAL SEATING AREA FOR THE ROOFTOP AREA ROOFTOPS.
SO, YOU KNOW, OVER THE COVERED COURTS, THERE'S CORN HOLE AVAILABLE SEVERAL OTHER, UH, ITEMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN THAT AREA.
THIS IS IN PHASE TWO, THIS IS THE MIXED USE COMPONENT.
THE FIRST TASK IS TO ALLOW FOR THE AIR SUPPORT STRUCTURE, WHICH HAD TO BE DONE IN THE, IN THE PUNCH STRUCTURE.
THIS IS THE, UM, THE SECOND PORTION, WHICH WE HOPE TO BRING SOME COMFORT TO YOU.
UM, BEING A PUD, THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE DID TO HOPEFULLY SECURE THIS, UH, PROJECT.
FIRST OF ALL, IT'S 12,000 SQUARE FOOT, ROUGHLY PLUS OR MINUS ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR OF RETAIL OFFICE.
UM, WE ANTICIPATE BECAUSE THIS IS A FULL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, UH, PLAYER DEVELOPMENT CENTER.
IT'S NOT JUST THE TENNIS COURTS, IT'S NOT JUST PICKLEBALL COURTS.
IT IS PLAYER DEVELOPMENT, COMPETITIVE, UM, UM, TEST PLAYERS.
OUR PARTNERS CURRENTLY HAVE, UH, THEIR KIDS PLAY COMPETITIVE TENNIS.
THEY SPEND ANYWHERE FROM 25 TO $30,000 A YEAR.
IF ANY OF YOU HAVE KIDS THAT TRAVEL WITH CHEERLEADING TO TRACK TO ANYTHING, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
SO YOU GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS.
AND SO THIS AREA IS DESIGNED AS A FULL FUNCTIONING PLAYER DEVELOPMENT, MEANING IT'S NOT JUST TO COME AND PLAY TENNIS.
IT ALSO WILL HAVE A SPORTS, FITNESS, NUTRITION.
WE SEE THE RETAIL BEING, UH, THOSE TYPES OF RELATED ITEMS, SPORTS MEDICINE, UM, POSSIBLY CHIROPRACTOR, UM, NUTRITIONISTS, THOSE TYPE OF ITEMS IN THE, IN THE BOTTOM FLOOR.
AND THEN THE SECOND THIRD FLOOR WOULD PROVIDE FOR UP TO, AND THIS IS LISTED IN THE PUD.
AND AGAIN, HOPEFULLY IT GIVE YOU SOME COMFORT.
NOT ONLY IS IT A MAXED AT 20 UNITS, SO MAXIMUM OF 20 UNITS, BUT IT ALSO IS WRITTEN AS IT IS INCLUDED IN THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS YOU CAN'T, IF THE PROJECT DOESN'T HAPPEN, THEY DECIDED TO SELL THE PROPERTY.
SOMEBODY CAN'T COME AND BUILD AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.
THEY CAN'T EVEN BUILD A 20 UNITS.
THEY HAVE TO BUILD THE 20 UNITS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RETAIL ON THE BOTTOM.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT GIVES YOU SOME COMFORT INTO THAT, UH, INTO THAT FIELD WITH THAT.
UM, THAT'S THE SECOND ASK FIRST ASK AGAIN, IS THE USE OF THE AIR SUPPORT OR STRUCTURE? THE SECOND IS TO ALLOW FOR THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IS CRUCIAL TO THIS PROJECT.
IF, UH, THAT'S PROBABLY OUR SECOND DEAL KILLER.
IF, UM, IF WE CAN'T GET THE MIXED USE, UH, THERE'S NO SUPPORT FOR THE, UM, FOR THE FULL PLAYER DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS TO HAPPEN.
SO IT IS CRUCIAL TO THE PROJECT.
AND THEN THE ASK WITH THIS WAS UP TO 50% GARAGES.
WE KNOW THAT THE ORDINANCE CALLS FOR A HUNDRED PERCENT GARAGES.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE A GOOD FEELING AND UNDERSTANDING, AND EVEN WITH TALKING WITH A FEW OF YOU OF WHY WE WOULD WANT THAT, OR WHY THAT'S IN PLACE AND WE FULLY UNDERSTAND.
SO WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PARKING VERY QUICKLY.
UM, A ONE TO ONE RATIO IS NOT WHAT YOU GET FROM A GARAGE TO A PARKING PLACE.
A PARKING PLACE TAKES UP MORE.
I MEAN, THE GARAGE SINGLE CAR GARAGE TAKES UP MORE ROOM THAN A, THAN A PARKING PLACE.
[00:55:01]
IT ALLOWS, AND THAT IS THE GARAGE STRUCTURE, WHICH WE'LL SHOW YOU IN A SECOND, BUT IT ALLOWS FOR UP TO 10 SINGLE CAR GARAGES.WHAT OUR FEAR IS, IS AS MOST OF US HAVE DONE IS THESE GARAGES WON'T BE USED TO PARKING, THEY'LL BE USED FOR STORAGE.
AND THEN THE, THE RESIDENTS WILL PARK IN THE PARKING PLACES.
THEY'RE TAKING UP TWO SPACES, ESSENTIALLY.
AND THE REASON WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE 50% UNITS AND WORKING WITH THE FIRE CHIEF AND, UH, THE FIRE MARSHALL, I MEAN, THIS BUILDING WAS MOVED OUTSIDE AT A COST OF CLOSE TO A MILLION DOLLARS, UH, ADDED TO THE PROJECT.
THIS WOULD BE A BRICK AND MORTAR STRUCTURE.
THIS IS ALL THE COMBUSTIBLES OUT OF THE DOME AREA.
SO THERE'S NO COMBUSTIBLES INSIDE THE DOME.
THERE WAS NO RESTAURANT, THERE'S NO RESTROOMS. THIS IS EVERYTHING.
THE MEN AND WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOMS ARE OUTSIDE THE PRO SHOP LOUNGE PATIO AREA.
UH, SECOND FLOOR HAS A, HAS A SNACK BAR OBSERVATION AREA FITNESS CENTER.
AND, UH, AND THEN THIS AREA OVER HERE HAS REPRESENTATION OF THE, UM, THE WET AREA THAT WE'RE CALLING IT.
WE'RE NOT QUITE TO THE FULL DETAIL OF IT IF IT'S GOING TO BE JUST SPA TYPE, UH, RELATED OR SWIMMING.
UH, BUT BOTH SO IS A, ONE OF THE CHECK-IN AREAS YOU'VE GOT THE FULL, UM, LIKE I SAID, EVERYTHING MOVED OUTSIDE OF THE COMBUSTIBLE AREA AND THEN THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE GARAGES.
SO YOU'LL SEE WHERE THEY FALL INTO THE PLACE AS WELL, SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES OF TENNIS COURTS INSIDE AIR SUPPORTED STRUCTURE.
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA AND YOU CAN SEE MULTIPLE COURTS.
THERE IS A COUPLE OF OTHER LIVE EXAMPLES IS PICKLE BALL ON THE BOTTOM VOLLEYBALL ON THE TOP, RIGHT IN ANOTHER DOME, UM, VOLLEYBALL AGAIN.
AND THEN THE ONE ON THE RIGHT WOULD BE THE ONE THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH, WHICH IS THE UT DOME IN FRONT OF THE UT STADIUM.
THIS IS AN OVERLAY OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT.
SO AGAIN, THIS IS RUSH AUTOMOTIVE FOR YOUR REFERENCE OUTDOOR COURTS.
THE DOME AREA IN FRONT OF THE DOME AREA IS THE, UM, THE, ALL THE COMBUSTIBLES THAT WE TOOK OUT THE GARAGES HERE, PARKING IN THE BACK, PARKING IN THE FRONT AND, UH, ADDITIONAL, UM, ITEMS AROUND THERE FOR THE FULL USE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP WHILE WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS PROJECT WITH STAFF AND WITH A FEW OF YOU IS PARKING.
UM, THE PARKING COMES INTO PLAY.
THIS PLAN MEETS NOT ONLY MEETS, BUT EXCEEDS THE PARKING REGULATIONS, BUT WE STILL FEEL, AND AS MANY OF YOU HAD CONCERNS THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH PARKING, AND WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO TRY TO PARK ACROSS THE STREET OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.
AND THERE'S REALLY NOWHERE ELSE TO PARK WITHIN A MILE.
UM, YOU'D HAVE TO GO UP CONSIDERABLE WAYS.
UH, SO WE MET WITH, UM, WITH RUSH AUTOMOTIVE WITH JOE RUSH HERE AND COME TO FIND OUT THEY ARE CLOSED ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAYS.
UH, WE HAVE NOT INKED A DEAL YET, BUT WE HAVE, UM, OPENED THAT COMMUNICATION AND TALKED WITH THEM.
AND THEY'RE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF ALLOWING US TO USE THAT FOR SPECIAL EVENTS AND FOR WEEKEND, UH, TOURNAMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO THAT ADDS SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING.
ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IN THE ASK, UM, YOU WOULD IMAGINE THAT A WATER CONSUMPTION.
I KNOW THAT'S ALWAYS A BIG ITEM, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE YOU A PRESENTATION.
UH, ONE OF THE, UH, THE LARGEST WATER CONSUMPTION ITEMS THAT WE HAVE IN THE PROJECT IS ACTUALLY TO MEET THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH BY THE CITY AND THE IRRIGATION.
SO WHAT WE WOULD ASK IS IF WE CAN LIMIT SOME OF THAT, THAT'S NOT IN THE CODE.
NOW WE COULD GO WITH, UM, ZEROSCAPING WE COULD DO LIMIT THE TREES.
UH, BUT WHAT THAT WOULD DO IS IF WE COULD DO THAT, THAT WILL ALLOW US TO PUT ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL PARALLEL PARKING IN THE BACK AND POSSIBLY ON THE SIDE.
UM, THIS, THIS AREA HERE HAS COME UP IN QUESTION MULTIPLE TIMES.
THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE THE DETENTION POND WILL BE.
SO WE, WE CAN'T PARK IN THE DETENTION POND, OF COURSE.
UH, SO THAT'S A PART OF WHAT THAT LOOK WE'LL COME INTO.
SO WHAT OUR PROJECT REACHED DOES THE CHANGES TO THE POD WE'RE REQUESTING THE USE OF THEIR SUPPORT, A STRUCTURE FOR A TENNIS VENUE.
UM, THE LIFESPAN OF THE DOME HAS COME INTO QUESTION.
IT HAS A 20 YEAR WARRANTY, 30 PLUS YEAR LIFESPAN.
THE UT DOME HAS BEEN THERE LIKE 28 YEARS.
NOW, I BELIEVE, UH, THE REQUEST FOR THE VERTICAL MIXED USE WITH UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 20 LIVING UNITS, IT IS LISTED THAT WAY AS MIXED USE AND THE VERTICAL TOGETHER DECAL DETACHED GARAGES FOR 50% OF THE LIVING UNITS.
AGAIN, WE WORKED WITH THE FIRE MARSHALL FOR EIGHT MONTHS TO ALLOW FOR THE
WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO USE THE FACILITY FOR ALTERNATE EVENTS.
[01:00:01]
UM, MS. CRABTREE, DID YOU GIVE THE LETTER REFERENCE OUT? SO EVERYONE'S GOT A LETTER OF REFERENCE FROM THE CHAMBER.UH, THEY'RE VERY EXCITED AND COULD SEE A LOT OF USES FOR THIS.
WHY WOULDN'T WE WANT TO USE IT? UM, THE CURRENT CODE AND THE WAY THINGS ARE SET FORTH IS NO SPECIAL EVENT CAN HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF THE AA FOR SPORTS WITHOUT COMING THROUGH STAFF AND THROUGH YOU FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
SO THAT WOULD BE CONTINGENT AND THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
UM, AND AGAIN, THIS IS ONE OF THE RESTRICTIONS THAT PLAN AND ZONING, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD 15 MINUTES TO MAKE A DECISION IF SOMETHING HAS BEEN WORKED ON FOR EIGHT OR NINE MONTHS.
UM, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UH, ACTUALLY CALLS FOR 85% MASONRY.
THIS IS MORE THAN IS REQUIRED IN THE ORIGINAL PUTTS.
SO THAT'S ANOTHER UP ZONING OF THAT.
AND THEN IT'S DONE IN TWO PHASES.
PHASE ONE IS THE DOME, THE TENNIS AREA, 10 SPORTS OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT.
AND THEN THE SECOND PHASE IS THE MIXED USE AND THE, UM, LIVING AREA, THE DESIGN COST TO MOVE ALL THE COMBUSTIBLES OUT OF THE DOME WAS ROUGHLY $1 MILLION INCLUDED THE CLUBHOUSE BATHROOM SNACK BAR OBSERVATION DECK CONVENTION SPACE.
WE'RE HEARING THROUGH THE
AS WE DISCUSSED, THERE'S 2.2 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE AUSTIN MSA WITH ONLY FOUR INDOOR TENNIS COURTS.
TWO OF THOSE ARE IN SOUTH AUSTIN.
TWO OF THEM ARE IN THE PFLUGERVILLE AREA, CURRENTLY JUST THE, UH, THE COURTS AT HIGH SCHOOLS AND A COUPLE OF PARKS.
THE KIDS ARE FORCED TO GO TO DIFFERENT EVENTS.
SO IF THEY'RE, IF THEY WANT TO TAKE A LESSON, EITHER A PRIVATE LESSON OR A GROUP LESSON, IT MIGHT BE AT TWO DIFFERENT ENDS OF TOWN.
UM, IN ADDITION TO THIS WILL BE THE FIRST AND ONLY COVERED COURTS IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY AND LEANDER AS WELL AS THE ONLY PICKLEBALL COURTS IN LANDER.
AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS I KNOW THAT YOU'VE HAD REFERENCES TO, IT'S A COMPLETE, AS WE MENTIONED, INTEGRATED, UM, PART FOR PLAYER DEVELOPMENT, IT'S NOT JUST TENNIS, IT'S EVERYTHING TOURNAMENTS WILL BE GENERATE, WILL GENERATE UP TO A 50% OR 50 HOTEL ROOM OCCUPANCY.
SO WE CAN, WE CAN MAX OUT OUR HOTEL, UH, COMPETITIVE TENNIS COSTS RANGE.
AS I MENTIONED, UH, FOR AN INDIVIDUAL 20 TO $25,000 IS WHAT, THEY'RE, WHAT OUR PLAYERS ARE CURRENTLY SPENDING ON GOING OUT AND TRAVELING AND MOVING AROUND BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THIS IN THE AREA.
SO WE ANTICIPATE THIS TO BE A 30 MILE RADIUS TO BRING PEOPLE IN FROM OTHER AREAS AS WELL, SPORTS CENTER, MIXED USE RETAIL.
I THINK WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS RESTAURANT MAKES YOU AS POSSIBLE WITH A BLESSING.
AND I, WE, UH, WE ANTICIPATE WE STILL HAVE SOME FEMA WORK TO DO.
AND SOME SIGN-OFFS FROM TXDOT FOR THE ROADWAY CUTS AND THE DIESEL LANES.
AND WE WOULD EXPECT TO BREAK GROUND, UH, FIRST QUARTER OF 23 COMPLETED BY THE END OF 23 FOR PHASE ONE, PHASE TWO WOULD START SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 12 TO 18 MONTHS AFTER THAT.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD BE ON THERE.
AND OUR ASK IS THAT WE'RE SEEKING APPROVAL AS IT WAS SUBMITTED.
AND WE ASKED THAT HOPEFULLY YOU COULD DIRECT STAFF TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER TO INCREASE THE PARKING.
THE ONLY WAY THAT WE SEE THE INCREASE, THE PARKING IS THE 50% OF SUPPLYING FOR 50% GARAGE INSTEAD OF A HUNDRED THAT WILL INCREASE FIVE OR SIX SPOTS, NOT A TON, BUT IT'S FIVE OR SIX SPOTS.
AND THEN ALSO TO, IF WE CAN LIMIT SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS, THEN THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO, UH, TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL.
AND I, AND WHEN WE SAY LIMIT, WE, WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE LANDSCAPING ORDINANCE.
WE JUST WANT TO DO SOMETHING ALTERNATIVE.
THAT'S, UH, LESS WATER RESTRICTIVE, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT, BUT IT'S NOT IN THE CODE RIGHT NOW.
THERE ARE SOME DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS, ZEROSCAPING THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH.
AND WE'LL BE HERE TO ANSWER A QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WHAT'S THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.
I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.
WAS THERE ANYBODY WHO WISHED TO SPEAK ALL RIGHT, PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.
WE'LL NOW MOVE INTO THE ACTUAL REGARDING ZONING CASE, 22, 0 3 6 AS DESCRIBED ON THE AGENDA COUNCIL.
UM, AND I KNOW IT'S A LONG WAY AWAY IF THE PROJECT MOVES FORWARD, BUT CAN YOU GO BACK? YOU HAD A, AN IMAGE OF, I GUESS, WHAT THE TRAFFIC WOULD, I'M SORRY, WHAT THE LAYOUT IS THAT, THAT ONE, CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE YOUR FORETHOUGHT IS ABOUT TRAFFIC AND HOW PEOPLE WILL ENTER THIS FACILITY? BECAUSE IF WE'RE SPREADING OUT, AND THIS IS THE ONLY FACILITY, YOU KNOW, IN THIS SIDE OF TOWN AND, UM, WE HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES THAT WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
I IMAGINE TRAFFIC WILL BE A NIGHTMARE TRYING TO GET IN.
SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT FORETHOUGHT I KNOW IT'S NOT REQUIRED RIGHT NOW.
NO, WE DON'T KNOW THAT IT'LL BE A NIGHTMARE.
WE KNOW THERE'LL BE AN INCREASE.
SO CURRENTLY THIS WAS THE ADDED, UM, THERE'S A SMALL DIESEL LANE TURN LANE AND THE ADDED, UH, ROADWAY CUT FOR RUSH AUTOMOTIVE.
TEXTILE WILL ALLOW US TO HAVE TWO MORE OF THE EXACT PLACEMENT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED.
UM, THEY STILL HAS TO BE SUBMITTED AT TXDOT UNTIL WE GET THAT, BUT THESE WILL BOTH BE TWO,
[01:05:01]
UH INGRESSIVES THAT WE'LL HAVE, UM, DIESEL LANES AS WELL.SO THEY'LL HAVE TWO TURN LANES AND THAT FLOWS THAT TRAFFIC DIRECTLY INTO PARKING ALL THE WAY THROUGH, ON BOTH ENDS.
UM, THIS WOULD FACILITATE INTO THE LIVING AREA AND, UH, SOME OF THOSE AREAS.
DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YEAH, IT DOES.
AND CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO WHAT OTHER ALTERNATIVES YOU GUYS HAVE CONSIDERED, UM, WITH THE GARAGE SITUATION? I KNOW YOU SAID YOU'D PREFER IT TO BE 50% GARAGES, BUT, UM, THE SITE IS VERY TIGHT AND IF WE PUT A HUNDRED PERCENT GARAGES, WE LOSE PARKING AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID.
SO IT'S, TWO-FOLD, IT'S, THERE'S A COST INVOLVED OBVIOUSLY WITH BUILDING THE ADDITIONAL GARAGES, BUT THE BIGGEST THING IS WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN 10 GARAGES AND 10 PARKING SPACES? I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE BIGGER, BUT WHAT ARE WE LOSING AS FAR AS A PARKING SPACE? YEAH, I THINK OF, UH, PARKING, SINGLE FAMILY PARKING OR A SINGLE CAR GARAGE TAKES UP ABOUT ONE AND A THIRD PARKING PLACE.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE FIVE TO SEVEN PARKING PLACES THAT IF YOU BUILD 20 GARAGES VERSUS TAMBORA.
SO OFFERING THE, THE ZEROSCAPING VERSUS THE, THE ORIGINAL, UM, BEING ABLE TO ADD PARKING PLACES THAT SHOULD HELP ALLEVIATE THAT AND MEET THE A HUNDRED PERCENT REQUIREMENT.
WELL, W WE'RE ALREADY AT THE A HUNDRED PERCENT WE CAN ALREADY, UM, WE MEET AND EXCEED THE CODE NOW FOR OCCUPANCY AND PARKING AND TIME AT THE A HUNDRED PERCENT FOR THE O FOR THE RESIDENTIAL.
I MEAN, IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE MAXIMUM, THE MORE PLACES, THE MORE SPACES, THE BETTER PUBLIC SAFETY AND THOSE TYPES OF ITEMS. WE, WE CAN WORK, UH, AS I MENTIONED WITH THE BACK AREA HERE, AND, UH, WE'VE GOT TO REVISE THIS WITH THE, AS WE GO TO THE SIDE DEVELOPMENT TO WORK THROUGH THIS WITH THE, UM, WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL AND THE FIRE CHIEF TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STILL MEET OUR, OUR FIRE CODE REQUIREMENTS, BUT WE ANTICIPATE WE COULD PUT ANOTHER, UM, GROUP OF PARALLEL PARKING HERE AND LOOKING AT SOME, SOME DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS AS WELL.
SEE, I KNOW Y'ALL TALKED ABOUT THE SPECIAL EVENTS.
UM, YOU DID MENTION VOLLEYBALL, RIGHT? OKAY.
UM, CAN YOU HAVE THE EVENTS AND NOT NECESSARILY A TOURNAMENT, BUT PLAY TENNIS AT THE SAME TIME? LIKE I KNOW YOU DIVIDED OFF, BUT IS THAT, IS THERE A CAPABILITY IN THAT TYPE OF BUILDING? THAT'S PROBABLY ONE THING I DIDN'T DISCUSS A WHOLE LOT ON SPECIAL USE.
SO IF, FOR INSTANCE, THE CHAMBER WANTED TO DO THEIR EXPO IN THE INSIDE THE DOME PART OF THE AFR DESIGNATION AND THE SPECIAL USE, THE OCCUPANTS OCCUPANCY FOR THE DOME IS ACTUALLY THE HIGHEST DURING THE SPORTS USE.
IT CUTS WAY DOWN OVER IN HALF, ACTUALLY DOWN TO ABOUT A THIRD FOR THE SPECIAL USE.
WHAT WE DO IS THEY, WE COME IN AND WE PUT A DIVIDER, UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE A PULL CURTAIN ON, UH, ON A CABLE THAT WOULD DIVIDE THE DOME AND LIMIT THE AREA INSIDE TO, UH, SOMEWHERE IN THE 6,700 TO 7,000 SQUARE FEET RANGE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A PRETTY, PRETTY TIGHT, SMALL AREA.
AND BASED ON THAT AND THE EGRESS DOORS, UM, AND THAT WOULD ALLOW OCCUPANCY TO DROP DOWN IN THE SIX TO 800 RANGE, DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF EVENT IT IS.
THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT DESIGNATIONS FOR OCCUPANCY IN THE
ONE OF THOSE IS FOR STADIUM SEATING, WHICH WOULD BE LIKE A CHURCH SETTING.
ONE WOULD BE FOR ROUND TABLES, LIKE FOR A BANQUET SETTING.
ONE WOULD BE FOR MIXER STYLE WHERE YOU JUST THEY'VE GOT JUST INDIVIDUAL TABLES WITH NO SEATING.
SO, UM, THE HIGHEST OF THAT IS OBVIOUSLY THE MIXER STYLE.
AND THEN IT GOES DOWN FROM THERE, FROM THE TYPE OF, UM, OF SEATING.
SO TO DO A SPECIAL EVENT, IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE FIRE CHIEF.
WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL, UH, FIRE, UM, FIREMEN TAKING COUNTS AND BEING THERE ON THE FACILITY OR LOOKING AT ENHANCED FIRE PROTECTION, NOT ONLY POOL STOPS AT EACH DOOR, UM, OF COURSE EVERYTHING UP TO CODE.
BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE'S SOME NEW TECHNOLOGY OUT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA DOES IS THEY HAVE A, UH, SCANNING KIND OF CAMERA THAT LOOKS FOR HOTSPOTS AND IT'S CONTINUAL, AND IT RUNS ALL THE TIME.
AND IF IT PICKS UP A HOTSPOT SOMEWHERE ABLE TO SET OFF AN ALARM IN THAT FACILITY, THE OTHER THING THAT'S, I DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT, BUT ARE YOU ABLE TO HAVE TENNIS? NO.
JUST USING AT THE SAME TIME IS THE QUESTION.
IF YOU'RE HAVING A SPECIAL EVENT IS SEPARATE FROM THE, OKAY, SO IT'S EITHER TENNIS PICKLEBALL OR COMBINATION, OR IT'S A SPECIAL EVENT.
AND ACTUALLY WE THOUGHT TO, UH, TO HELP WITH THE PARKING AS WELL FOR A, UH, TOURNAMENT TYPE SETTING, WE WOULD ACTUALLY LIMIT AND NOT ALLOW FOR THE PICKLE BALL PLAYERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN DURING THOSE EVENTS, WHICH WOULD FREE UP THOSE PARKING PLACES TO ALLOW FOR THE ADDITIONAL.
AND THEN AS FAR AS THE, LIKE HOW EVERYTHING IS BUILT, THE FLOORING.
SO THERE'S NO ISSUES HAVING A SPECIAL EVENT LIKE CHAIRS AND CATERING.
NO, IT'S, IT'S A CONCRETE TENNIS COURT.
[01:10:01]
OKAY.THE FABRIC OR WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT CALLED? YEAH, IT'S AN AIR SUPPORT IS STRUCTURE AND THE FABRIC NOT ONLY MEETS THE FIRE CODE AS BEING FIRE RETARDANT, BUT IT'S, IT'S KIND OF UNIQUE.
IF YOU PUT A BLOW TORCH ON IT, YOU CAN BURN A HOLE THROUGH IT, BUT IT WILL NOT EXPAND OR IGNITE.
SO IT'S, UM, IT'S A, IT'S A PRETTY NEAT DESIGN.
THESE ARE DONE ALL OVER THE U S THEY DO MEET, YOU KNOW, AS I SAID, STANDARD CODE AND THE FIRE MARSHALL ACTUALLY MET WITH THE DOME PEOPLE AND DISCUSS THOSE OPTIONS AND WAS COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO SIGN UP.
SO THAT'S ONE LAYER OF WE'LL CALL IT FABRIC.
UM, AND JUST THINKING SAFETY WISE, NOT NECESSARILY A FIRE, BUT GETTING INTO THE STRUCTURE, HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO JUST CUT? UM, WELL IT'S, FIRST OF ALL, IT'S, IT'S EXTENDED, IT'S HIGHER.
SO TO CUT, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO ABOVE THAT.
AND THEN IT GOES UP FROM THERE.
SO THAT'S THE BIG THING GOING ALL THE WAY, THE FLOOR, THAT WAS HUGE.
IT IS RATED FOR 120 MILE AN HOUR WINDS.
AND IF, FOR SOME REASON EVERYTHING WAS TO FAIL, MEANING THE SUPPORT SYSTEM, THE FANS, AND THE, UM, ADDITION TO THE BACKUP SYSTEM, IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY FOUR HOURS FOR THE DME TO COLLAPSE.
SO ON THE, ON THE, W YOU GUYS DOING EIGHT MONTHS OF RESEARCH AND ALL THOSE THINGS, I'M NOT, I'M NOT AN EXPERT, UM, AS FAR AS THE MATERIAL.
SO THE FIRST ASK IS NOT AN ISSUE, UH, FOR ME, UM, NUMBER TWO WAS, UM, WAS THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT OR THE MIXED USE COMPONENT.
UM, AND I THINK THAT, UH, IT, I, I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY THAT WOULD NEED TO BE THERE AS FAR AS WHO'S GOING TO LIVE THERE.
I DON'T NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THAT PORTION OF IT, BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WOULD WORK OUT.
I'M ALSO OKAY WITH THAT ONE BECAUSE OF WHAT ELSE IS COMING ALONG WITH IT.
AND OVERALL, I BELIEVE THIS IS A BETTER PROJECT THAN THE OTHER PROJECT, UM, WHICH WE WOULD BE GLAD TO HAVE TWO, BUT THIS ADDS SOMETHING FOR, FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY THERE TOO, BESIDES A PLACE TO KEEP YOUR STUFF.
UM, THIRD ONE, I JUST WANT TO REMIND US AS COUNCIL, TOO, THAT, UM, THERE W WE, WE PUT FORTH THE A HUNDRED PERCENT, UH, REQUIREMENT, UM, SPECIFICALLY, IF THERE WERE, IF WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A HUNDRED PERCENT MULTI-FAMILY PROJECT THAT CAME THROUGH HERE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT LET THAT THING LOOK GOOD.
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE DOING OUR BEST.
IT WASN'T NECESSARILY FOR THIS PROJECT.
AND I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID HERE ON THIS ONE, UM, AS SOMEBODY WHO, WHO FOUGHT FOR THOSE THINGS.
AND, UM, SO I THINK THERE'S MORE BENEFIT IN MORE SPOTS.
SO I THINK YOU NEED THE ROUGH GUESSTIMATE WAS FIVE MORE SPOTS IF YOU DO THE 10 VERSUS VERSUS 20.
UM, I THINK THAT'S THAT, THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT.
AND I ALSO SUPPORT THAT, UM, AS FAR AS THE P AND Z RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, THAT, UH, I WOULD WANT TO BE AS FLEXIBLE AS POSSIBLE TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT FOR WHATEVER WE POSSIBLY COULD.
UM, THAT'S PROBABLY WHY, UM, BRIDGET SENT US THIS LETTER, UM, AND THE OTHER ONE WAS THE GARAGE.
I THINK WE ALREADY WENT OVER THE GARAGE REQUIREMENTS.
UM, MY ONE COMMENT THOUGH, OTHER THAN THAT WAS ONE THING WHEN, WHEN I HAD SEEN Y'ALL, IT WAS, HEY, BE THINKING AS YOU'RE GOING TO CONCEPT AND GOING TO ALL THOSE THINGS AND, OR WORKING OUT THE LOGISTICS, IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE ANYTHING THAT WAS A GIVE AND TAKE ON THE LANDSCAPING.
I WAS THINKING NOT NECESSARILY LIKE TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE PROJECT AND DOING THOSE THINGS, AND I'LL DEFINITELY DEFER TO STAFF ON THIS, BUT IF THERE WAS EVER GOING TO BE A PLACE WHERE WE LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, UM, ESPECIALLY WHERE BACKS UP TO THE TRAIN TRACKS OVER THERE ON THE SIDE OR SOMETHING ALONG THAT WAY.
AND WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO, TO HAVE MORE SPOTS IN THERE WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE OVER, UH, WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR PARKING.
UM, THAT WAS MY INTENTION AND BRINGING SOMETHING LIKE THAT UP WAS, UM, IF THERE WAS A WAY TO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE 40 TREES THERE AND YOU COULD HAVE 20 TREES OVER THERE AND YOU COULD FIT 10 MORE SPOTS AND IT HELPED YOU TO GET OVER THE THRESHOLD.
SO WHEN YOU CAME BACK TO US AND YOU'RE TALKING TO THE FIRE MARSHALL ABOUT A PROJECT, A SPECIAL EVENT, THAT'S GOING TO GO ON THERE, YOU'D BE ABLE TO HAVE YOUR EVENT THERE.
CAUSE I THINK IT HELPS THE WHOLE CITY OUT.
IN ADDITION TO, UM, SOME, SOME PLANTS THAT AREN'T CURRENTLY ON THE, UM, IN THE LANDSCAPING PLAN, SOME DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS, WE MET WITH THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT IN BETWEEN ACTUALLY TALKING TO YOU AND WENT THROUGH THIS TO LOOK AT SOME ALTERNATIVES, TO THE TYPES OF TREES THAT YOU USE, LESS WATER.
THE, UM, SO EVEN IF WE HAVE 20 TREES INSTEAD OF 40 AND WE HAVE TO IRRIGATE THEM STILL, WHICH WE WOULD, UM, IT STILL ALLOWS FOR LESS WATER USAGE.
YOU JUST TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE ACROSS THE BOARD.
UM, I THINK YOU STATED IT ALL REALLY WELL.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY ANY PROJECT THAT'S COMING IN FRONT OF US RIGHT NOW.
IF, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE PARTS OF THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT TO MAKE IT MORE DROUGHT TOLERANT, I'M 100% FOR IT ON EVERY PROJECT.
SO DO WE NEED TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE NOTES AT ALL? I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE ALL APPLYING,
[01:15:01]
GIVE US SOME GUIDANCE.I WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION CAUSE IT'S, IT'S NEWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
UM, WITH THE CHANGES TO LANDSCAPING, UM, OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE INCLUDES TROUT TOLERANT PLANTS.
SO WE JUST NEED A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'RE WAVING.
SO JUST KNOWING THAT WE DON'T HAVE THAT CHOIRS THINGS, GRASS.
SO WE ALLOW FOR YOU TO DO CRUSH GRANITE MOLT.
UM, THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF THINGS IN OUR PLAN THAT ARE PERMITTED.
PEOPLE JUST CHOOSE NOT TO PUT IN RIVER ROCK CAUSE IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL THE INTER.
SO WE JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS BEFORE.
RIGHT? SO MY, MY MANY MILES SPECIFY ON MY FEEDBACK WAS NOT NECESSARILY LIKE, HEY, CUTTING THE BUDGET OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND ON OUR, ON OUR LANDSCAPING TO BE ABLE TO FIT IN THE BUDGET OF MORE PAVEMENT, TO PUT IN 10 TO 20 SPOTS, IT WAS MORE, THE ACTUAL SPACE NEEDED FOR THOSE THINGS THAT ARE AFFECTED.
THAT WAS, THAT WAS MY SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION.
AND ALSO IN EVERY DEVELOPMENT THAT WE GO THROUGH, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR THINGS THAT ARE MORE DROUGHT RESISTANT, BUT THAT'S SPECIFICALLY WHY I BROUGHT THAT UP.
SO SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING AT AS AN AMENDMENT IS NOT REQUIRING THE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING WHEN YOU'RE NOT ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THEY'D PROBABLY BENEFIT FROM BEING NEXT TO THE ROAD TRUCKS.
SO IT WOULDN'T HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TALL TREES, YOU KNOW, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IF WE DON'T PLANT ANY TREES IN ANY LANDSCAPING, WE HAVE A WHOLE NOTHER ISSUE.
SO WE JUST WANT TO BE MINDFUL, UM, WITHOUT EVALUATING AT FIRST, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE APPROVING.
I THINK MY THING, MY THINKING ON IT IS THAT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE REDOING MORE OF THE LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE LATER THIS YEAR WHEN YOU'RE OUT OF THE WOODS ON ALL YOUR CURRENT THINGS.
UM, AND SO MY THINKING IS IF YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE THINKING WOULD CONFORM TO A FUTURE LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE WATER FRIENDLY FOR US.
UM, LIKE I'M FINE WITH EMPOWERING YOU TO JUST MAKE THAT CALL.
I THINK WE'RE STILL GONNA HAVE PROJECTS THAT ARE BEAUTIFUL, BUT YEAH, MAYBE CUTTING 40 TREES DOWN TO 30 OR 20, DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF COVERAGE THEY GIVE THAT KIND OF THING.
AND IF WE DO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE, IT WOULD APPLY TO THIS ONE, LIKE IF WE'RE RELAXING A STANDARD, SO THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE.
I HOPE WE'LL HAVE THAT DONE BEFORE THEY'RE DONE.
AND YOU ONLY DO THE, WE WOULD ONLY DO THE ASK OF A REDUCTION IN THE LANDSCAPE.
YOU'D LIKE FOR THE TREE PLANTS WITH ADDING THE ADDITIONAL APARTMENT.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO ASK FOR THAT AND NOT PUT MARTIN.
UM, AND I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS THE LIMITED USE OF THE DOME THAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY P AND Z.
I WATCHED THAT CONVERSATION AND I APPRECIATE THE THINKING BEHIND IT.
I THINK SINCE WE HAVE THE FIRE MARSHAL'S BLESSING AND A PROCESS IN PLACE TO, TO HAVE THOSE EVENTS, I THINK THAT THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO USE FOR SPECIAL EVENTS AND SHOWCASE.
I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE SO MUCH CURIOSITY FROM THE COMMUNITY TO GET IN THERE.
UM, I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE GREAT FOR BRINGING PEOPLE INTO TOWN, SO ANYTHING FURTHER AND THAT MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS IS WITH THE 50% PARKING PLACES THE BEING ABLE TO USE FOR, UM, ANY SPECIAL USES AND THEN TO WORK WITH STAFF ON MAKING SOME CHANGES AS FAR AS, AS YOU WERE ESCAPING AND PARKING.
AS, AS YOU MEAN WITHOUT THE P AND Z RECOMMENDATION, CORRECT.
UH, SUBMITTED, SUBMITTED A SECOND.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
[26. Discuss and consider action on the Hawkes Landing North Development Agreement Case 22-DA-001, a Wastewater Encroachment Agreement, and a License Agreement on a portion of a parcel of land approximately 66.17 acres ± in size, more particularly described by Williamson Central Appraisal District Parcel R031685; and to the southwest of the intersection of Bagdad Road and Halsey Drive, on the south side of Bagdad Road; Leander, Williamson County, Texas.]
CONSIDER ACTION ON THE HAWKS LANDING NORTH DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT CASE 22,UM, SO THIS IS A, AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER FOR THE HAWKS LANDING NORTH PROJECT.
THEY'RE REQUESTING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, LICENSE AGREEMENT, AND LICENSED TO ENCROACH.
WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THE CITY WANTED TO SEE THE WASTEWATER LINE OVERSIZED DOWN TO HELP SERVE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
AND, UM, IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT, THEY'RE HAVING TO, UM, TO WORK WITH THE WCID AND ACTUALLY EXTEND THE WATER LINE THROUGH THE DAM.
SO THEY HAVE TO HAVE A LICENSE TO ENCROACH IN A LICENSE AGREEMENT TO MAKE ALL THAT HAPPEN.
AND, UM, DAN GRIMM SPOKE AND ANSWER ANY KIND OF QUESTION AND ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT WITH WASTEWATER.
UM, BUT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS HELPFUL TO THE CITY AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPER.
SO, ALRIGHT, WE'RE AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND MOTION AND A SECOND.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
