CORY DELL, PLANNING DEPARTMENT. HOPE YOU'RE ALL WELL. UM, THE REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE TONIGHT WITH A SHORT POWERPOINT PRESENTATION AFTER STAFF DOES THEIR REPORT. UM, THIS REQUEST IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE ZONING PROCESS. THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATED ZONING DISTRICT OF THEIR PROPERTY IN ORDER TO CREATE A PEDESTRIAN SCALE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF FIRST FLOOR RESIDENTIAL, UH, I'M SORRY, FIRST FLOOR RETAIL WITH RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY USES ABOVE RESIDENTIAL DENSITY SHALL NOT EXCEED 16.2 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. A MAXIMUM OF 650 MULTI-FAMILY UNITS IS PROPOSED. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROPOSING, UH, IN THEIR POD, THE COMMERCIAL PORTION, WHICH IS THE GROUND FOUR RETAIL, UH, OUTLINED IN YOUR EXHIBIT D UH, OF YOUR PACKET, UH, FOR EACH BUILDING IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND ISSUED A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY CONCURRENTLY, UH, OR PRIOR TO THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE BUILDING. THERE IS, UH, THIS, THIS, UH, PROPOSAL DOES WARRANT, UH, SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. UM, AS YOU KNOW, THE, UH, CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED A WATER RESOLUTION, WHICH IS, UH, RESOLUTION 22 DASH 0 31 DASH ZERO ZERO TO LIMIT THE CONSIDERATION OF ZONING REQUEST THAT SEEK TO INCREASE THE DENSITY OF RESIDENTIAL LAND USES IN LIEU OF NON-RESIDENTIAL USES. THE RESOLUTION PRIORITIZED A DESIRED, UH, RESIDENTIAL LAND, UH, DISTRIBUTION MIX OF 0% WITHIN THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER USE CATEGORY IDENTIFIED ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. SO LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE SITE, UM, TO THE NORTH IS HEAVY COMMERCIAL ZONING THAT'S PROPOSED. HERE WE GO. SO TO THE NORTH IS HEAVY COMMERCIAL ZONING, IT'S EIGHT C FOUR C. IT CURRENTLY SITS UNDEVELOPED TO THE EAST IS S FFR ONE B, SINGLE FAMILY RURAL. IT'S A RESIDENTIAL LOT. THERE'S ONE LOT ON THERE. TO THE SOUTH IS, UH, SOME ADDITIONAL GENERAL COMMERCIAL GC FIVE D. UH, IT CURRENTLY SITS AS A RESIDENTIAL, UH, USE WITH AG LAND SURROUNDING IT. AND TO THE WEST IS, UH, H C 40 HEAVY COMMERCIAL AND H I FIVE D HEAVY INDUSTRIAL. UM, AND THAT IS, THEY'RE BOTH INDUSTRIAL USES. UH, SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 4,500 FEET TO THE WEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF HIWAY AND RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD. UH, ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF HIRO WAY. THE SITE IS LOCATED EAST OF LIBERTY, CIVIL AND TEXMEX TEX MIX. CONCRETE BUSINESSES, UM, TO THE SOUTH AND [00:05:01] EAST ARE RESIDENTIAL HOMES WITH AG LAND AND TO THE NORTH. AGAIN, IT'S, UH, UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY. UH, THIS PROPERTY CONTAINS NO FLOOD PLANE, GET AN AERIAL. THIS PROPERTY CONTAINS NO FLOOD PLAN AND SITS UNDEVELOPED. THE LOT CONTAINS, UH, TREE COVER, WHICH WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE CITY OF LEANDER TREE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS AND MITIGATION. UH, AT TIME OF SITE DEVELOPMENT. THE FRONT PORTIONS OF THIS SITE WERE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF LEANDER. UH, JANUARY 21ST, 2016. THE REAR PORTIONS OF THE SITE WERE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY ON MAY 3RD, 2018. THE PROPERTY WILL, UH, TAKE ACCESS OFF OF HERO WAY. DRIVEWAYS ALONG HERO WAY WILL BE REVIEWED AT TIME OF SITE DEVELOPMENT, UH, BY THE CITY OF LEANDER. THE DRIVEWAY SPACING ALONG HERE WAY WILL BE, UH, DICTATED BY THE TEXT DOT ACCESS CONTROL MANUAL. AT THE TIME OF THE CONCEPT PLAN SUBMITTAL. THE APPLICANT WILL SUBMIT EITHER A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, A T T I A OR PAY A FEE IN LIEU OF THE T I AS DETERMINED BY THE CITY ENGINEER. A 10 FOOT SIDEWALK, UH, WILL BE REQUIRED ALONG HERO WAY. UH, AGAIN, THE PROPERTY IS UNDEVELOPED AND SITS UNPLATTED. UH, THIS PROPERTY HAS ACCESS TO A FOUR INCH WATER LINE, UH, THAT RUNS ACROSS HERO WAY AND AN EIGHT INCH, UH, SEWER LINE THAT RUNS ALONGSIDE THE, UH, WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. UM, A PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING WAS HELD, UH, WITH STAFF ON AUGUST OF LAST YEAR, 2022, WHERE STAFF NOTED A VERTICAL MIX USE DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS PRIMARILY MULTI-FAMILY DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR INTENT STATEMENT OF THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER, WHICH IT'S UNDER. UH, FOR THOSE CURIOUS, THE WATER RESOLUTION THAT WE, UH, DISCUSSED AS A, UH, A SPECIAL CONSIDERATION WAS ADOPTED, UH, IN OCTOBER. SO SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WE HAD OUR PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING. UM, PUBLIC NOTICE, UH, WAS PUBLISHED IN THE HILL COUNTRY NEWS, UM, MAILING WAS, UH, SENT TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET AS WELL AS SIGNAGE POSTED ON THE SITE. TONIGHT IS THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. AND, UH, SUBSEQUENT, UH, SECOND AND FINAL READING OF THE ORDINANCE WILL FOLLOW. UH, SIGNAGE WAS POSTED ON THE SITE. I, UH, HAD SOME PICTURES OF THAT IN OUR, IN YOUR STAFF REPORT. UH, IN ADDITION TO THE NOTICES MAILED ON BEHALF OF THE CITY TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET, THE AGENT REACHED OUT TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY THAT WERE ZONED SINGLE FAMILY OR ANY PROPERTIES THAT WERE USED AS SINGLE FAMILY WITHIN 500 FEET. PER OUR COMPOSITE ZONING ORDINANCE, ANY HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION WERE ALSO, UH, CONTACTED. THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET AS, UH, ATTACHMENT NUMBER NINE. UM, IN READING IT, UH, WELL, AS OF TODAY'S DATE, THERE WERE NO CONCERNS RAISED, UH, TO THE DEVELOPER. UH, THAT BEING SAID, WITH ALL THE ITEMS, UH, AND INFORMATION PRESENTED, STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE REZONING REQUEST. THE REASONS BEING THE DEVELOPER'S PROPOSAL OF RESIDENTIAL, UH, AND DENSITY REQUESTED DO NOT MATCH THE INTENT AND CHARACTER STATEMENTS OF THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AREAS. WITHIN THIS CATEGORY ISSUED ADHERE TO THE RECOMMENDED MIX OF 82, A HUNDRED PERCENT NON-RESIDENTIAL USES WITH ZERO TO 20% MAX, UH, MEASURED, UH, RESIDENTIAL MEASURED BY LAND DISTRIBUTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE REQUEST IS IN CONFLICT WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, ADOPTED WATER RESOLUTION, PRIORITIZING A DESIRED LAND, UH, DISTRIBUTION MIX OF 0% WITHIN, WITHIN THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER USE CATEGORY IDENTIFIED ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THIS PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING HIGHER STANDARDS AND IS REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING WAIVERS. UM, HIGHER STANDARDS. THEY PROVIDED A LIST OF, UH, PROHIBITED AND INCOMPATIBLE USES WITHIN THE BASE ZONING DISTRICT. THEY INCLUDED, UH, GROUND FOUR RETAIL THAT WILL, UH, MOVE, UH, IN, IN, UH, COHESION WITH THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION OR BEFORE. AND THEY ALSO, UH, CREATED A PEDESTRIAN, UH, ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT WITH 12 FOOT SIDEWALKS. SO INCREASE THE SIDEWALK, UH, WIDTH. UM, WAIVERS INCLUDE A MAXIMUM HEIGHT FOR ALL BUILDINGS SHALL BE 80 FEET, UH, IN HEIGHT, BUILDING SETBACKS ALONG ALL INTERNAL PROJECT STREETS SHALL BE ZERO FEET, ZERO LOT LINED. UH, LANDSCAPING AREAS LESS THAN FOUR FEET AND WIDTH MAY BE COUNTED TOWARDS THE LANDSCAPE AREA OR REQUIREMENTS. RIGHT NOW, THAT'S NOT A, NOT A THING. UM, SO THAT'S PART OF THE ZERO LOT LINE. PRODUCT AND LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS MAY BE PLANTED IN THE ASSOCIATED RIGHT OF WAY, STREET OR EASEMENT WITHIN LANDSCAPING, PLANTING BEDS, PEDESTRIAN COURTS, GREENWAYS OR SIMILAR, UH, TYPE OF AREAS. AGAIN, THAT'S PART OF THE ZERO LOT LINE PRODUCT. UH, THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S, UH, PRESENTATION. UH, THE APPLICANT IS HERE WITH THEIR PRESENTATION AND WE'LL BE VA AVAILABLE FOR ANY, UH, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THANK YOU, MR. DALE. THANK YOU APPLICANT. PRESENTATION, PRESENTATION. CAN'T SPEAK TONIGHT. HI, [00:10:01] MR. VERIO. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIR. COMMISSIONERS, IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU THIS EVENING FOR THE RECORD, PETER VERIO AT S E C PLANNING. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS EVENING TO SHARE WITH YOU THE VISION FOR THE LEANDER CAMPUS, AS HAS ALREADY BEEN NOTED TO YOU. IT'S A 40 ACRE TRACT, THE PROPERTY, THERE WE GO. PROPERTY SITS ESSENTIALLY HALFWAY BETWEEN 180 3 AND REAGAN ALONG HERO WAY. AND IN OUR DESIGN, WE HAVE ACCOUNTED BEFORE, I HEARD SOMEBODY EARLIER TALKING ABOUT THE OPEN HOUSE THE OTHER DAY. THIS DESIGN DOES TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE ULTIMATE EXPANSION OF HERO WAY THAT, UM, THOSE DESIGN EFFORTS UNDERWAY. WE ARE REQUESTING YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR A MIXED USE ZONING PUT, AND THAT PUT INCLUDES MF TWO A AND GC THREE A FOR A MIX OF MULTI-FAMILY AND COMMERCIAL USES. ADMITTEDLY, IF THE CITY HAD A MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT, WE'D BE HERE THIS EVENING WITH A ZONING REQUEST FOR STRAIGHT ZONING. BUT THERE ISN'T THAT TYPE OF ZONING SITTING IN THE CURRENT CODES TODAY. THE PUB BEFORE YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, YOU'LL NOTICE I HAVE THIS IN BOLD CAUSE I THINK THIS IS A KEY ELEMENT, CRITICAL PART THAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT. TIME AND AGAIN THIS EVENING AS I'M TALKING WITH YOU, OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO CREATE A VIBRANT EMPLOYMENT CENTER WITHIN LEANDER TO AID IN THE EFFORTS BUSINESSES ARE TAKING TO OVERCOME THE WORK FROM HOME DILEMMA THAT WE, WE ARE IN TODAY, TIME AND AGAIN, WE ARE ATTENDING, UM, SEMINARS, MEETINGS, EVENTS. AND WHAT WE ARE HEARING IS BUSINESSES ARE NOW TRYING TO TRANSITION BACK TO THE OFFICE ENVIRONMENT, HYBRID, IF NOT FULL. AND WHAT THEY'RE FINDING IS THERE'S RESISTANCE. UM, EMPLOYEES, THEIR RESIDENTS, STAKEHOLDERS HAVE BEEN COMFORTABLE WORKING FROM HOME. AND ONE OF THE DRAWS AND ONE OF THE APPEALS IS CREATING THESE VIBRANT MIXED USE ACTIVITY CENTERS WHERE, UM, YOU'RE CREATING GATHERING SPACES, OUTDOOR SPACES, UM, ENTERTAINMENT SPACES, AS WELL AS WORK SPACES. AND SO IT'S KIND OF CREATING A LITTLE BIT OF THAT EDGE AND FUN AND PUTTING THAT BACK INTO THE WORK ENVIRONMENT TO ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEES TO COME BACK TO WORK EITHER FULL-TIME OR IN A HYBRID SETTING. THE FIRST OF THREE ITEMS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH ON THIS EVENING WITH YOU IS THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND THE COMP PLAN. WHEN WE STARTED THIS EFFORT, UM, WE KNEW WHERE THE PROPERTY SAT AND WHAT THE DESIGNATED USE IS FOR IT. IT'S RIGHT THERE, THERE WE GO, RIGHT THERE IN THE HEART OF THE PURPLE EMPLOYMENT CENTER. AND, AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME FACES THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE, AND I, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU TONIGHT. AND THERE'S FACES THAT HAVE SEEN ME FOR YEARS, AND I'LL LOOK TO THE FACES THAT HAVE SEEN ME FOR YEARS AND, AND, AND HOPE THAT YOU'LL KNOW AND TRUST I WOULDN'T COME BEFORE YOU WITH A, A REQUEST FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON A PLAN THAT FLEW IN THE FACE OF THE COMP PLAN AND THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. I'VE DONE THIS TOO MANY YEARS. UH, IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF EVERYBODY'S TIME. WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS, WE SAT DOWN WITH OUR CLIENT AND WE LOOKED AT THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER, THE GOALS OUTLINED IN IT, AND HOW WE CAN CREATE A PLAN THAT WORKS WITHIN THAT. AND I DON'T USUALLY READ FROM THE COMP PLAN, BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS READ TWO SECTIONS FROM PAGE 94 OF THE COMP PLAN FOR THE RECORD. THE FIRST OF THOSE IS TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE IN TODAY'S CORPORATE MARKETPLACE, CONTEMPORARY WORKFORCE SUPPORTING ELEMENTS SUCH AS AMENITIES, RETAIL AND HIGH DESERT INTENSITY RESIDENTIAL, ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED IN AN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. YOU'LL SEE THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN THE COMP PLAN. THE SECOND IS HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL MAY BE ALLOWED ON A LIMITED OR CONDITIONAL BASIS ONLY ALLOWED AS PART OF A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN VERTICALLY INTEGRATED MIXED USE BUILDINGS SECONDARY TO AN EMPLOYMENT USE IN A PROJECT DESIGN OF THE HIGH DENSITY SHOULD BE IN URBAN AND NOT SUBURBAN FORM. THOSE TWO STATEMENTS ARE THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT WE PUT TOGETHER. THEY ARE THE FOUNDATION OF THE LAST YEAR'S WORTH OF EFFORT AND DESIGN AND, AND WORK WITH OUR CLIENT AND CITY STAFF. AND, AND I'VE, I WILL ADMIT, I'VE WRESTLED A LITTLE BIT ON, ON HOW FAR TO TAKE THIS ONE AND TO PUSH IT. WHEN I REVIEWED STAFF'S REPORT, I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED AND SHOCKED AT THAT [00:15:01] COMMENT IN THAT POSITION. UM, ROBIN AND I, ON ROUND TWO OF STAFF COMMENTS, HAD A PHONE CALL AND WORKED THROUGH TEXT THAT UNDERSTANDABLY WAS CONSIDERED A SEEKING OF A WAIVER FROM THESE ELEMENTS OR FROM THE COMP PLAN. WE WORKED TOGETHER. I REMOVED THE LANGUAGE, CHANGED THE LANGUAGE, AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NON-ISSUE. AND WE HAD MOVED ON AND THAT STAFF WAS COMFORTABLE AND ON THE SAME PAGE WITH US ON THESE TWO PRINCIPLES THAT WE HAVE PUT THIS PLAN TOGETHER. FOR. REAL QUICK ON THE PLAN, AGAIN, SPEAKING TO WHAT WAS I JUST READ OUT OF THE COMP PLAN, WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER A DESIGN THAT IS A VERY URBAN STYLED PLAN. FIRST FLOOR IS PRIMARILY ON ALL BUILDINGS, COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE USES. AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALIZED IS IF YOU MAKE IT A HUNDRED PERCENT, HOW DO YOU GET INTO AN APARTMENT COMPONENT? HOW DO YOU HAVE A LOBBY? HOW DO YOU GET TO THE STRUCTURED PARKING THAT'S INSIDE THE BUILDING WRAPPED AROUND IN THE DONUT FORMAT? SO THERE HAS TO BE A PERCENTAGE OF EACH BUILDING THAT ISN'T OFFICE OR RETAIL JUST SIMPLY FOR THE BUILDINGS TO FUNCTION. WE HAVE THIS AT A HIGH DENSITY INTENTIONALLY WITHIN THE DOCUMENT, CONSISTENT WITH CODE. ALL THE PARKING WILL BE STRUCTURED IN A WRAPPED FORMAT. AND WE'VE REALLY TAKEN SOME TIME AND PUT SOME ATTENTION TO CREATING VERY URBAN WIDE WALKABLE STREETS, A LOT OF ACTIVITY, A LOT OF VIBRANT PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO GATHER, INTERACT. AND VERY IMPORTANT, WE'VE ORIENTATED ALL THE BUILDINGS TO CREATE THESE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY EDGES AROUND THE BUILDINGS AND ON THE STREETS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DO WANT TO TO NOTE IS, NOWHERE IN THIS LANGUAGE DOES IT SAY EVERY BUILDING HAS APARTMENTS IN IT. IT'S AN ALLOWABLE USE, BUT THE REQUIREMENT IS THE FIRST FLOOR FOR CERTAIN IS NON-RESIDENTIAL. BUT THERE'S NOTHING PREVENTING ANY OF THESE BUILDINGS FROM BEING 100% COMMERCIAL, 100% OFFICE, 100% HOTEL, UNFORTUNATELY, BEFORE I STEP FORWARD. UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT YOU SEE IN A PUB, BECAUSE PUDS ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THAT FLEXIBILITY AND CREATIVITY IN THE FUTURE WITH THESE GUARDRAILS AND PARAMETERS, IS THAT'S THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT YOU GET TO SEE. IT'S BASICALLY AN X WITH FOUR RED BLOBS. AND YOU SAY, OKAY, WHAT IS THIS? HOW, HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS? I DON'T USUALLY DO THIS DURING THESE PRESENTATIONS, BUT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THE FOUNDATION AND WHAT THIS SET OF PLAN, SET OF GUIDELINES, SET OF RULES, ENABLES AND ALLOWS FOR THE PROJECT. IT IS A SERIES OF BUILDINGS. ALL OF THEM WRAPPED ALL OF 'EM WITH STRONG VISIBILITY AND ACCESS TO BASICALLY MAIN STREET SETTINGS, PEDESTRIAN FOCUSED, UH, RETENTION WITH AN ESPLANADE EDGE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE LEARNED TOO, COMING OUTTA COVID IS THE, UM, DESIRE FOR OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACES, FRESH AIR GATHERING. SO WE CREATED A LOT OF THESE WIDE PLAZAS TO ALLOW THAT FLEXIBILITY, THAT ABILITY FOR THOSE KIND OF SPACES TO OCCUR WITHIN THE PROJECT. SO AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS PLAN, IT'S VERY URBAN AND THAT'S INTENTIONAL. SECOND REASON THAT IT'S INTENTIONAL, THERE'S ACTUALLY A TOTAL OF THREE. I'M GONNA SPEAK TO THE OTHER TWO RIGHT NOW AND YOU'LL SEE THEM ON THE SCREEN. THE CITY'S ROADWAY SYSTEM TIME. AND AGAIN, WE HAVE HEARD CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC, ROADWAYS, CONNECTIVITY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THIS PLAN DOES INCLUDE WITHIN IT IS A CONNECTION OF RAIDER WAY UP TO HIWAY. SO THAT IS INTEGRATED INTO THE PROJECT FITTING WITHIN THAT URBAN STYLE CONNECTIVITY. BUT WE DO INCLUDE A CITY ROADWAY WITHIN THE PROJECT. AND THE LAST ITEM THAT I DID WANNA SPEAK TO AND TOUCH ON HERE IS THE POTABLE WATER SITUATION. FULLY ACKNOWLEDGED, WE MADE THIS SUBMITTAL BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL PASSED THAT RESOLUTION, BUT NONETHELESS, JUST BECAUSE WE DID THAT FIRST IS NOT THAT PERSONALITY, JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD. IGNORANTLY JUST SAYING, WELL, WE WE BEAT YOU TO THE, TO THE CLOCK. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PLAN, AGAIN, IT WAS DESIGNED VERY INTENTIONALLY IN AN URBAN SETTING, URBAN ENVIRONMENT, A RESIDENTIAL USER IN AND OF THEMSELF IS NOT THE REASON FOR THE WATER BEING USED. IT'S THE LANDSCAPE THAT GOES WITH THEIR YARD. IT'S THE LANDSCAPE THAT GOES WITH THEIR HOUSE. THERE ARE NO YARDS HERE. THERE IS NO LANDSCAPE TO GO WITH IT. AND AS I WAS PREPARING FOR THIS EVENING, IT'S, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER INTERESTING ITEM THAT I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON AND, AND KIND OF PLANT THIS SEED WITH Y'ALL, PUN INTENDED. I WORK IN A SUBURBAN OFFICE PARK. DO WE NOT IRRIGATE [00:20:01] THOSE LAWNS DURING THE SUMMER TO MAKE THOSE OFFICE PARKS APPEALING TO MY CLIENTELE COMING TO VISIT ME? OF COURSE WE DO. SO IF WE JUST SAY IT'S ONLY RESIDENTIAL, I THINK WE'RE BEING A LITTLE SHORTSIGHTED THAT SUBURBAN OFFICE PARKS USE JUST AS MUCH WATER IN THE SUMMER AS A, AS A RESIDENTIAL YARD DOES. SO AGAIN, WITH THIS PLAN, OUR INTENT AND OUR FOCUS IS TO BE VERY URBAN. WE HAVE LANGUAGE IN THE PU THAT SPEAKS TO RESTRICTED TURF, THE TYPE OF LANDSCAPING. SO WE'VE BEEN VERY SENSITIVE TO THE CITY'S CONCERNS ABOUT WATER, NOT JUST FROM A USES PERSPECTIVE, BUT HOW THE LAND IS USED PERSPECTIVE. AND LAST, I JUST WANNA SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE IMAGERY TO GIVE YOU A VISUAL SENSE OF WHAT WE'RE ENVISIONING WITH THIS PROJECT. AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THESE IMAGES, IT, IT'S A, AN URBAN VIBRANT DOWNTOWN, IF YOU WILL. AGAIN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCALE AND THE SIZE OF THAT PURPLE EMPLOYMENT CENTER, THE MAHINDRA FAMILY WAS REALLY KIND OF BEING THE PIONEER WITH THIS PIECE, IF YOU WILL. THIS HAS THE OPPORTUNITY, THE FIRST PIECE WITH THIS KIND OF VIBRANT DESIGNATION DESTINATION WITHIN, UM, THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER WITHIN LEANDER. AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN VERY SENSITIVE AND, AND AWARE OF THESE CONCERNS AND ISSUES WITH THE CITY AND HAVE CRAFTED AND, AND DESIGNED THIS PLAN AND THIS PUT AROUND THOSE ISSUES. AND I'LL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL MAY HAVE. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR. VIK. AT THIS TIME, I'M, I WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. I HAVE NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, BUT IF THERE'S ANYONE PRESENT THAT WOULD LIKE TO DO SO SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION. COMMISSIONER COSGROVE. THANK YOU CHAIR. MR. VERIO. UM, YOUR CLIENT IS COMMITTED TO, TO THE COMMERCIAL BEFORE THE MULTI-FAMILY. OH. UH, ARE WE COMMITTED TO GETTING A CO ON, ON, ON THE COMMERCIAL BEFORE WE GO VERTICAL? WHAT, WHAT, WHAT'S THE SITUATION HERE ON THAT? SO THE MIXED USE BUILDINGS, THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THE POD THAT STATES THAT WE WILL GET THE COS FOR THE COMMERCIAL. AND OF COURSE IT'S A VERTICALLY MIXED USE BUILDING, RIGHT? AND SO AS WE TALKED ABOUT, ROB AND I TALKED ABOUT 'EM, AND YOU HAVE TO PUT THE COMMERCIAL IN TO GET THE RESIDENTIAL ABOVE CERTAINLY. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IN THE POD, WE HAVE COMMITTED TO THOSE COS THAT ARE REQUESTED THAT GET THAT FIRST FLOOR RETAIL ON THE GROUND IN A READY CONDITION. THANK YOU, SIR. MR. DALE, UM, DO WE KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF, OF RESIDENTIAL THIS PROJECT WOULD THEN BRING TO THE IN EMPLOYMENT CENTER, IF I MAY? YES, SIR. I APPRECIATE YOU REMINDING ME OF THAT. CAUSE I MEANT TO SPEAK TO THAT DURING MY PRESENTATION WHEN WE DID THE FIRST ROUND AND WE HAD THIS DRAWING, THE VERY FIRST ROUND THAT I PUT TOGETHER FOR THAT PRE-APP MEETING HAD THESE TWO DOWN HERE EXCLUSIVELY RESIDENTIAL. WE WERE AT ABOUT 19% OF OUR SITE AS RESIDENTIAL IN THAT MIX. SO WE WERE WITHIN THE ZERO TO 20. BUT WE HEARD THE RESISTANCE, WE HEARD THE APPREHENSION AND CONCERN BY STAFF AND AS PART OF OUR REVISIONS AND ADDITIONS AND AND TWEAKS, THAT'S WHERE WE MADE FIRST FLOOR, UH, RETAIL. SO IN THEORY, NO. AND ROB AND I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS AND HOW DO YOU DEFINE THAT 20%? THE 20%? HOW DO YOU DO THAT? AND AND I GUESS THE WAY THAT I'LL ANSWER IT FOR YOU IS WITH ALL THE BUILDINGS VERTICALLY MIXED USE, NONE OF IT IS 100% RESIDENTIAL. SURE. BECAUSE THERE'S COMMERCIAL ON EVERY FLOOR. CERTAINLY WITHIN EVERY BUILDING. THANK YOU, SIR. UM, I DON'T KNOW THE CALCULATION RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. SORRY. OKAY. I APPRECIATE IT. NO, I DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT WITH THE NO, THAT'S FINE WITH THE QUESTION, BUT, UM, CUZ I, I THINK THAT IS, IS, UM, I WOULD IMAGINE THIS DOESN'T PUT THAT ENTIRE EMPLOYMENT CENTER OVER 20% RESIDENTIAL. I WOULD, I WOULD, I WOULD. BEING A A, A GAMBLING MAN, I WOULD, I WOULD BET THAT THAT'S TRUE. UM, LASTLY, I I APPRECIATE STAFF'S CONCERNS. I, I UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT COUNCIL IS HAS BEEN TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH WATER. UH, HOWEVER, I I WOULD ALSO BET, BECAUSE NO ONE HAS EVER, EVER PROVEN DIFFERENT TO ME THAT 650 APARTMENTS USE MORE WATER THAN 650 SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES. UM, AND I WOULD ALSO PROBABLY BET THAT THIS, THIS 40 ACRES IN, IN THAT CONFIGURATION PROBABLY WOULD USE LESS THAN IF [00:25:01] WE DID A SUBDIVISION. UM, I, I, I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT PUT IN HERE. UH, I, I DON'T KNOW THAT IF, IF WE DO NOT ALLOW, UM, DEVELOP PERSONAL FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF MIXED USE, WE'LL EVER GET, ALLOW TRACTION FOR THESE KIND OF DEVELOPMENTS IN, IN THE EMPLOYMENT CENTERS THAT WE HOPE TO GET. AND AT SOME POINT IN TIME, I, I, I HOPE, UH, THAT HAPPENS SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. COMMISSIONER MAY, IF THIS WERE 20, 28, I THINK I WOULD HAVE A LOT LESS ANXIETY OVER THIS. UM, AND IT'S, ANY USE IS GOING TO USE WATER. OKAY. I I'M NOT SAYING THAT, UH, MULTI-FAMILY IS EVIL BY ITSELF. UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE COME BEFORE US AND SAY, WE WANT A WORK HERE, LIVE HERE, UH, TYPE COMMUNITY. UM, I LIVED IN QUOTE ONE OF THOSE IN, UM, BE CAVE THE GALLERIA. 95% OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN THE APARTMENTS WORKED IN AUSTIN. 5% WORKED IN THE GALLERIA. AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN THOSE APARTMENTS, UH, YOU COULD, UH, WELL FIRST OFF, THE RENT WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE ELSE AROUND. UM, BUT THEY WERE NICE. I LOVED IT. I COULD GO, MY OFFICE WAS LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET. I WAS ONE OF THE 5%, SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE. I, THERE WERE TONS OF RESTAURANTS AND I ENJOYED THAT, BUT IT WAS ONLY 5%. UM, THE QUESTION I WOULD LIKE TO ASK, DO WE HAVE ANY ANCHORS IN THIS, UH, COMPLEX THAT SAYS, I WANT APARTMENTS OVERHEAD FOR MY EMPLOYEES. UM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU, LET'S SAY WE HAD, UM, A, A TECH CENTER THAT WAS GOING TO EMPLOY 50 PEOPLE AND THEY WANTED 40 OF THEIR PEOPLE WANTED TO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ABOVE WHERE THEY WORKED. I THINK THIS WOULD BE A LOT MORE APPEALING. UM, AND, AND I, I, I AM ONE THAT HATES TELLING A DEVELOPER, YOU CAN'T DEVELOP THAT ON YOUR LAND. BUT I I, I, I REALLY HAVE PROBLEMS SEEING THIS AS, AS ADVERTISED. I'M NOT TRYING TO THROW WATER ON YOUR PARADE IF, IF YOU WANT TO. AND I APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS. ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, THE ONLY ONE I WANTED TO TOUCH ON IS THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS TAKEN THIS, THIS PLAN TO THE MARKETPLACE AND HAS ALREADY STARTED VETTING IT OUT WITH SOME OF THE KEY, UM, TECH GROUPS, TECH INVESTMENT GROUPS. AND THIS TYPE OF PROJECT HAS A LOT OF APPEAL AND HAS A LOT OF DRAW. SO THIS IS KIND OF THE FIRST STEP. I CAN'T, WE CAN'T NAME NAMES YET, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE AREN'T JUST HYPOTHETICALLY DOING THIS IN A BUBBLE. THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE MARKETPLACE BECAUSE IF IT HADN'T BEEN WELL RECEIVED IN THE MARKETPLACE, WHY GO THROUGH THE EFFORT OF COMING BEFORE Y'ALL? SO, YOU KNOW, WITH APPROVALS, THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP, TAKING THIS TO SOME OF THE, THE STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARDS AND, AND PURSUING THOSE KIND OF, UM, OPPORTUNITIES. THAT'S ALL I HAD. COMMISSIONER MOSS. GOOD EVENING. UM, I JUST WANTED TO PARAPHRASE A COUPLE THINGS THAT I THINK YOU SAID . OKAY. SO, UM, WELL, UH, THE COMMERCIAL WILL BE BUILT SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH, UH, RESIDENTIAL. YES. OKAY. UM, NOW THE WATER USED CONSERVATION OF WATER, WE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW HOW SERIOUS WE ARE ABOUT THAT. I DO. AND I AM, AND AGAIN, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I'VE SAT HERE AND I, AND I'VE HEARD THE WATER REPORTS. YEAH. AND YOU KNOW, I WAS AT A, AN EVENT, GOSH, PROBABLY ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO THAT THE MAYOR WAS AT, IT WAS A, A MAYOR WORKSHOP, MAYOR DISCUSSION. AND SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT LAST SUMMER. AND AGAIN, IT'S THAT THING THAT I, I, I ASK EACH OF YOU GO LOOK AT YOUR WATER BILLS, GO LOOK AT YOUR JANUARY WATER BILL AND LOOK AT YOUR JULY WATER BILL. YOU SITTING IN YOUR HOUSE AND TAKING SHOWERS AND DOING LAUNDRY, AND, AND THAT IS A SMALL FRACTION OF YOUR WATER. IT'S, IT'S THE IRRIGATING OF THE LAWNS MM-HMM. . AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT A MULTI-FAMILY TYPE PROJECT, YOU DON'T HAVE THE TWO OR THREE KIDS. YOU DON'T HAVE THAT LAWN. SO YES, AS WITH ANY USE, THERE WOULD BE WATER USED, BUT IT'S NOTHING IN THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN, UM, EITHER WITH A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION OR COMMERCIAL OFFICE SUBDIVISION WITH LAWNS. WELL, WHERE I LIVE, IT'S, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S [00:30:01] RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS AND WE HAVE LANDSCAPING AND YES, WE WATER. I MEAN, ABSOLUTELY. BUT AGAIN, AND I APPRECIATE THAT, THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT UP THE FACT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, HOW URBAN IT IS AND THAT WE SPECIFICALLY PUT RESTRICTIONS IN THE PUT ON THE AMOUNT OF TURF THAT WE CAN USE MM-HMM. , BECAUSE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. IF YOU DID A SUBURBAN GARDEN APARTMENT COMPLEX, JUST AS GUILTY AS THAT RESIDENTIAL LOT. YES, ABSOLUTELY. AND SO MY OTHER QUESTION IS ABOUT, UM, TREES, SIDEWALKS, AND STREETS. SO HOW MANY, UM, TREES ARE THERE, ARE THERE ANY HISTORICAL TREES THERE? OR YOU JUST PLANTING A BUNCH OF BABY TREES? THERE HASN'T BEEN A TREE SURVEY DONE YET. OKAY. SO I, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO HOW MANY TREES THERE ARE, BUT OF COURSE WE GO THROUGH THE CITY PROCESS ON THAT, AND THEN WE WOULD BE PLANTING, I MEAN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DRAWING, YOU'LL SEE ALL THE LITTLE CIRCLES. MM-HMM. , I MEAN, THAT'S THE IDEA IS TO CREATE THAT URBAN TREESCAPE THAT, YOU KNOW, MID ITALY WHEN THEY'RE PLANTED, THEY'RE SMALL TREES, BUT IN 10, 15 YEARS YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL TREE CANOPY WITH A LOT OF SHADE WALKING DOWN THE STREETS. YEAH. BUT ARE YOU GONNA HAVE LIKE, SOME BIG TREES AND SOME SMALL TREES OR JUST ALL BABY TREES? BECAUSE 15 YEARS IS A LONG TIME TO, I'M SURE, I'M SURE WE WOULD MIX IT UP. I MEAN, THAT'S PROBABLY TWO OR THREE STEPS DOWN THE PROCESS, BUT I'M SURE IT'D BE MIXED UP. AND THERE'D BE SIGNATURE TREES AND KEY AREAS SUCH AS, UH, THE PLAZAS AND THE, UH, THE ESPLANADES. OKAY. SO YOU GOT YOUR SIDEWALKS, YOU WERE SAYING IT'S VERY WALKABLE. IT'S GONNA BE VERY, YOU KNOW, USER FRIENDLY TO ALL THE RESIDENTS AND TO COMMERCIAL PEOPLE THERE. SO I WAS WONDERING, UM, DO YOU HAVE A GUESSTIMATION OF HOW MANY, LIKE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES THERE'LL BE FOR, YOU KNOW, INDIVIDUALS IN THE CITY OF LEAN OR FROM THIS? WE DON'T, BECAUSE WE REALLY HAVEN'T, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE DRAWINGS, THEY'RE JUST FOOTPRINTS. THERE AREN'T ACTUAL, WE, WE HAVEN'T DESIGNED BUILDINGS YET TO KNOW HOW MANY TENANTS WE COULD HAVE IN EACH OF THESE BUILDINGS. BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THE GOAL IS TO GO OUT AND PURSUE, UH, SMALL, SMALL BUSINESS. MM-HMM. , YOU KNOW, LOCAL BUSINESS AND REALLY START TRYING TO CREATE SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR, I'LL CALL IT HOMEGROWN BUSINESS. AND IT'S KIND OF REALLY ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF FOLKS ABOUT WITH LEANDER IS CREATING THAT HOMEGROWN OPPORTUNITY WITHIN TOWN. OKAY. SO MY LAST STATEMENT IS, OKAY, SO YOU WERE SAYING THAT ABOUT, UH, 19 TO 20%, UH, THIS WILL BE, THIS PU WILL BE RESIDENTIAL. CORRECT? WOULD BE IF WE HAD MAINTAINED WHEN WE FIRST MADE A SUBMITTAL TO THE CITY FOR THE PRE-APP MEETING MM-HMM. , WE HAD TWO BUILDINGS THAT WERE EXCLUSIVELY MULTI-FAMILY. MM-HMM. THE ONE REMOVED THAT MM-HMM. . OKAY. SO NOW EVERY BUILDING MUST HAVE SOME PORTION NON RESIDENTIAL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER OLIVER. ALL RIGHT. MY TURN. UM, , THANK YOU. NO, Y'ALL ASK A LOT OF GREAT QUESTIONS. I APPRECIATE THAT AND I DO APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION. UH, IT WAS VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND PRESENTED. UM, SOME QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE, UH, JUST GOING BACK TO THE WATER, I THINK WE'LL JUST KIND OF ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. UM, YOU KNOW, I, UNTIL I SEE AN ACTUAL STUDY THAT SAYS THAT, YOU KNOW, ONE RESIDENTIAL HOUSE USES, YOU KNOW, MORE WATER THAN, YOU KNOW, SAY FIVE OR OR 10 APARTMENTS, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I'M, I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA PROBABLY RESPECTFULLY, YOU KNOW, DISAGREE WITH THAT. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, AT LEAST BASED ON WHAT I SAW, A MAXIMUM OF 650 MULTI-FAMILY UNITS. AND IF WE WERE TO DEVELOP THAT AS A, YOU KNOW, AS A, AS A SUBDIVISION ON 39 POINT, WELL, I'M SHOWING 39.94, BUT THE RECORD THAT YOU PROVIDED SAID 40.2. DO WE KNOW THE EXACT, OR TRY TO FIND OUT, BECAUSE I MEAN, IF, IF WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE A DISCREPANCY THERE, AND THAT DOES, BASED ON A 16.2 UNIT PER ACRE, YOU KNOW, UM, LIMITATION THAT CHANGES IT FROM 647 TO WHAT, 651, I THINK, GIVE OR TAKE. SO, UM, BUT EITHER WAY, 650 HOOKUPS. SO IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT WATER CONSERVATION, IT'S ABOUT THE NUMBER OF HOOKUPS THAT WE HAVE TO OUR CITY AS WELL, WHICH AFFECTS FLOW AND OTHER THINGS. SO, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE I HAVE A BIG CONCERN HERE. IT'S NOT JUST THE DENSITY AND OBVIOUSLY HERO WAY IS GONNA GO THROUGH, THERE'S GONNA BE A BIG ROAD THERE THAT CAN HELP HANDLE THE TRAFFIC. SO I'M LESS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. NOW, THE IDEA OF RAIDER WAY GOING THROUGH TO 2243 AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH RAIDER WAY, UM, YOU KNOW, ONCE AGAIN, NOT, NOT A CONCERN THERE. SEE, A LOT OF THOUGHT HAS GONE INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT'S THE 650 HOOKUPS, UM, IN THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO IS THAT REALLY GONNA ACCOUNT, I MEAN, TO ME THAT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S GONNA BE A BULK OF YOUR DEVELOPMENT THERE, THAT'S GONNA GO BEYOND THE 20% THAT'S EVEN ALLOWED FOR THIS PARTICULAR ZONE, THIS AREA. SO I MEAN, H H HOW DO YOU, HOW DO YOU PUT 650 UNITS IN THERE AND STILL HAVE ENOUGH COMMERCIAL TO MAKE UP 80%? I DIDN'T BRING THE BREAK THE BIG SPREADSHEET WITH ME, BUT IT, IT'S DONE. UM, IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE BUILDING HEIGHTS THAT ARE REQUESTED IN THE PARK ARE IN THERE, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. SO WHEN YOU LOOK [00:35:01] AT THIS DRAWING HERE AND YOU LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, BUILDINGS WITH THIS KIND OF SCALE AND THIS KIND OF SIZE, THAT'S HOW YOU CAN GET THAT, THAT MIXED USE WITHIN THERE WITH THE SMALLER, UH, UH, I, I TREAD LIGHTLY HERE, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'LL CALL IT URBAN STYLE APARTMENTS VERSUS THE BIG THREE BEDROOM MM-HMM. GARDEN STYLE APARTMENTS. AND YOU LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF BUILDINGS, AND AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, OOPS, KEEP HITTING THE WRONG BUTTON. YOU KNOW, THE LATEST THAT WE'RE AT IS UP IN THIS AREA. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF EXCLUSIVE NON-RESIDENTIAL. SO IT, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS, I HATE SAYING IT, BUT IT, IT WORKS. I MEAN, WITHOUT, TRUST ME, IT WORKS. AND YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I, AND I'VE BEEN HERE YOU ARE, YOU DO KNOW YOU'RE A DEVELOPER. AND SO SAYING, TRUST ME, I'M NOT, WELL, IT'S, IT'S KINDA HARD FOR US TO GO AND SAY, YEAH, IT ACTUALLY WORKS. I, I SAID IT WITH A SMILE , AND I LOOK DOWN THIS WAY BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW MANY YEARS I'VE BEEN BEFORE Y'ALL, AND I'VE BEEN ACCUSED OF BEING A LIAR STANDING HERE BEFORE BY, BY INDIVIDUAL. SO I, I, I SAY SINCERELY BY THE WAY. OKAY. NO, AND I, AND I REALIZE THAT AND I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT THERE, AS YOU SAID, A LOT OF THOUGHT HAS GONE INTO THE PLAN BEFORE Y'ALL RECOGNIZING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ASK. AND IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE COMFORT IN A LAND PLAN ANALYSIS, MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS THAT MAKES THESE NUMBERS ABLE TO WORK, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE. FAIR ENOUGH. AND THEN SO LET'S, BEYOND, BEYOND THE WATER PIECE OF IT, WE CAN, LET'S JUST MOVE PAST THAT. AND SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COMMERCIAL, AND SO WHAT I READ IN THERE WAS THAT THERE'S, COULD, COULD ALSO INCLUDE, UM, YOU KNOW, LEASING OFFICES. SO I'M ASSUMING, ARE THESE GONNA BE APARTMENTS OR THESE GONNA BE ACTUAL CONDOS FOR SALE? WHAT KIND OF MULTI-FAMILY UNITS ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE? WE HAVE TALKED INTERNALLY AS APARTMENTS TO DATE PARTS. OKAY. SO YOU NEED A LEASING OFFICE. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO, YOU MENTIONED THAT COMMERCIAL COULD ALSO INCLUDE FITNESS CENTERS. SO THAT'S PART OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. SO IT JUST SEEMS TO ME BASED ON SOME OF THE WORDING ON ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED IN THERE IS LIKE, THIS IS JUST A BIG GIANT APARTMENT COMPLEX. SO THAT'S WHY I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE, THE RATIO BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL MEETING, THAT 80 20 REQUIREMENT FOR THIS, THIS, THIS DISTRICT. UNDERSTANDABLE. UM, THOSE ARE USES ALLOWED IN ADDITION TO. SURE. UM, AND AGAIN, AS I HAD STATED, WHEN WE PUT TOGETHER THE VERY FIRST PLAN, JUST TO GIVE CONTEXT, THESE TWO BUILDINGS WERE 100% RESIDENTIAL. AND ON OUR PROPERTY ALONE, WE WERE STILL BELOW THE 20%. OKAY. AND THEN, UM, GETTING INTO SOME OF JUST THE INFRASTRUCTURE, OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE THOUGHT THROUGH WITH THIS PLAN, UM, STREET PARKING, IS THERE GONNA BE STREET PARKING? IS THAT PART OF THE IDEA OF, OF THIS, OF THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT? I DON'T KNOW. OR IS, OR IT GONNA BE MO MOSTLY IN A PARKING GARAGE? I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT FULLY AT THIS POINT. SO WHAT WE HAVE COMMITTED TO IS 100% OF RESIDENTIAL PARKING WILL BE STRUCTURED GARAGE GARAGES TUCKED BEHIND OR WRAPPED AROUND WITH THE, THE RESIDENTIAL OR OFFICE BUILDINGS, THE, HOW DO I PUT THIS, THE NON RADAR WAY ROADS ALL HAVE ON STREET PARKING. OKAY. POLAND PARKING, AGAIN, CREATE THAT VIBRANT ACTIVITY THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY COULD PARK ON THE STREET, WALK IN TO SEE THEIR CPA, SOMEBODY COULD PARK ON THE STREET TO WALK IN AND SEE THEIR TRAVEL AGENT. YEAH. THAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENT. WE ALSO WANTED TO BE ON RAIDER WAY, AND THAT WAS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE ISSUES THAT WE, WE, WE ADMITTEDLY STRUGGLED WITH AND, AND ROBIN CAN SPEAK TO THIS, WE PROBABLY, THAT WAS THE LAST COMMENT THAT WENT TO AROUND FOUR. WE WANTED PARALLEL PARKING ON RAIDER WAY AND THE CITY ENJ TRAFFIC ENGINEER WAS STRONGLY SAYING NO. YEAH. AND I, AND I WOULD RE AND THAT AND KNOW WHERE I WAS GOING WITH THAT. YEAH. ALREADY. SO, I MEAN, RAIDER WAY I WOULD, I WOULD BE HEAVILY, HEAVILY CONCERNED IF WE PUT PARKING ON AND AT THIS POINT WE DON'T HAVE PARKING ON IT. YEAH. I MEAN, I, I CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT LAKEWOOD PARK AND SEE HOW AMAZING THAT A PARK THAT IS. AND YET WE HO WE, WE NOW HOST LIBERTY FEST THERE, AND YET THERE'S STREET PARKING ON A NARROWER ROADWAY, WHICH YOU HAVE TO STILL GET SHUTTLES IN AND OUT OF THERE. AND IT'S, IT, IT'S PRETTY NARROW THE WAY IT IS. MM-HMM. , I DUNNO HOW WE APPROVED THAT, BUT WE DID. BUT THERE'S STREET PARKING TO A PARK THAT GETS A LOT OF, A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND A LOT OF USAGE. SO MY, MY CONCERN HERE WOULD BE HAVING STREET PARKING UP AND DOWN RA RADAR WAY AS WELL. SO ONCE WE DON'T CONSTANTLY TO BE A, A LONG-TERM CONDITION AND WE'VE AGREED ON RADAR WAY THAT IT'LL FOLLOW THE CITY TRANSPORTATION STANDARDS. GOING SORT OF BACK TO THE WATER PIECE OF IT, UM, SOMETHING I'LL JUST MAKE A STATEMENT ON, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME SORT OF WATER CONSERVATION COMPONENT, NOT JUST IN THE LANDSCAPING, BUT WATER [00:40:01] COLLECTION. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY RETENTION POND THERE THAT CAN BE USED AS A AESTHETIC FEATURE FOR RECREATION. BUT I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME SORT OF, WITH THESE LARGE STRUCTURES, YOU CAN COLLECT A TON OF RAINWATER AND UTILIZE THAT FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR, UH, THAT THAT GRAY WATER CAN BE USED, YOU KNOW, FOR OTHER PURPOSES ON THE PROPERTY TO DO WATERING LANDSCAPING OR, YOU KNOW, GRAY WATER IS NEEDED. MM-HMM. , FAIR COMMENT. LOVE TO SEE THAT AS A, AS A POSSIBILITY. ONCE AGAIN, IF THIS IS APPROVED. UM, I THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY THE BULK OF MY, MY QUESTIONS. UM, BUT YOU KNOW, GIVEN THAT THIS IS, YOU KNOW, SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL, I MEAN AS LONG AS ONCE AGAIN WE CAN MAINTAIN A STRONG COMMERCIAL COMPONENT TO THIS WITH SOME OF THAT RESIDENTIAL, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I COULD SEE IT WORKING. I DO SEE COMPETITIVENESS WITHIN NORTHLINE. UM, SO YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE A SIMILAR MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT GOING INTO NORTHLINE MM-HMM. , WHICH IS JUST GONNA BE NORTH OF THIS. AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE A LOT OF THIS KIND OF COMPONENT THAT'S ULTIMATELY DESIRED HERE IN OLD TOWN, LEANER, MOSTLY COMMERCIAL AND OLD TOWN LEANDER. BUT STILL YOU HAVE THAT SIMILAR COMPONENT. SO ONCE AGAIN, JUST GOING BACK TO MY INITIAL CONCERN IS JUST A NUMBER OF HOOKUPS, 650 IS A LOT. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD PREFER TO SEE REDUCED IF THAT'S IF YOU'RE GOING FOR THE MAXIMUM. SO THANK YOU. SURE. THAT'S IT. VICE CHAIR, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I THINK THEY'VE ALL BEEN ASKED. I, UH, JUST COMMENTS. I NORMALLY WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A PUT WITH AN 80 20 SPLIT IN THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER, BUT, YOU KNOW, IF WE DID NOT HAVE THE WATER RESOLUTION, BUT WE DO HAVE THE WATER RESOLUTION AND COUNCIL HAS ASKED US TO, UH, KEEP RESIDENTIAL TO 0% IN THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER AND, YOU KNOW, I'M IN SUPPORT OF THAT AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE A GOOD PROJECT AND, AND WERE IT NOT FOR THE WATER ISSUE AND THE RESOLUTION THAT THEY'VE ASKED US TO ADHERE TO, UM, YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE 20% RESIDENTIAL. BUT, UM, THAT'S, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER CARPENTER, . YOU GUYS ASK WAY TOO MANY GOOD QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW, , THE ONE THING I WOULD HAVE IS THAT THERE'S NOTHING HERE THAT REALLY SAYS YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF COMMERCIAL. IT SAYS THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, IT IT, IT STARTS TO TALK ABOUT IT'S 20% RESIDENTIAL, BUT IF THAT'S ALL YOU BUILT AND YOU DIDN'T BUILD ANY MORE OF THE COMMERCIAL, WE'D HAVE A BUNCH OF APARTMENTS SITTING ON THE BACK OF THIS THING IN NO COMMERCIAL. IS THAT A POSSIBILITY? I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO POLITICALLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION. OF COURSE IT'S A POSSIBILITY. BUT THEN A PROPERTY OWNER WOULD BE SITTING WITH VERY VALUABLE IDLE LAND AT, AT THE FRONT OF WHAT'S BEEN NOTED IS GONNA BE A VERY BUSY REGIONAL ROAD. SO YOU'D HAVE 650 APARTMENTS ON THE BACK OF IT, AND, AND YOU'D HAVE SOMETIME IT'LL DEVELOP DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU'D HAVE PRIME WELL, TO YOUR POINT, YEAH. AND YOU'D HAVE PRIME RETAIL PROPERTY UP ALONG THE FRONT. BUT AGAIN, IT'S BEING MARKETED TO VARIOUS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GROUPS STATEWIDE FOR THE NON-RESIDENTIAL USES. ONE, THE, YOU DID ANSWER ONE OF MY MAIN QUESTIONS, WHICH WAS RESIDENTIAL PARKING AND YOU'RE COMMITTING THAT'S EITHER IN A STRUCTURE OR IN A GARAGE. A HUNDRED PERCENT. THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEN ONCE AGAIN, I'M JUST LIKE WITH LAURA, THE WA THE WATER BOTHERS ME A LOT. IT JUST THAT THERE'S, WE, WE'VE BEEN COMMITTED TO NOT DOING THAT. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM FOR ME. BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANKS. UH, SO AS USUAL, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, A FEW COMMENTS, ET CETERA. I GUESS I'LL FRAME MY FIRST ONE. UM, WHEN I LOOK AT THE COMP PLAN AND I LOOK AT THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER, UH, I'M GONNA POINT OUT A PHRASE THAT MR. VERIO DENTON, AND IT SAYS, IN A PLANNED ENVIRONMENT, UPPER STORY, VERTICAL MIX RESIDENTIAL IS ENCOURAGED ALONG WITH LIMITED INTEGRATED HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ONLY BUILDINGS. SUCH, SUCH SCENARIOS SHOULD BE TIGHTLY REGULATED TO ENSURE THE PROPER MIX. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, HOW THEN DOES IT NOT COMPLY WITH THE GOAL STATEMENTS OF THE COMP PLAN AS IN THE STAFF PRESENTATION? SO WE WERE SPEAKING TOWARDS THE WATER RESOLUTION, HOW THEY'VE GUIDED US TO SAY 0% RESIDENTIAL. AND, AND, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT WAS ALSO A PART OF THE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. SO YOU'RE KIND OF DOUBLE DIPPING THERE WHEN THE COMP PLAN SAYS ONE THING, THE THE RESOLUTION, WHICH I, AND I AGREE WITH, I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE AS WELL. UM, TALKS ABOUT ZERO RESIDENTIAL, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THE COMP PLAN SAYS. SO THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. YOU KNOW, IT, IT, IN MY OPINION, YOU JUST CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. RIGHT. THAT, THAT'S IT, MY OPINION. YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS HEAR THAT ALL THE TIME ANYWAY. UM, I DO HAVE A QUESTION. SO IT'S KIND OF DOWN IN THE WEEDS HERE, BUT, UH, IT WAS A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE THE 10 FOOT [00:45:01] SIDEWALK ALONG HERE AWAY. IF THIS IS APPROVED, IS THAT GONNA BE ADJUSTED? UM, SO WE, WE KIND OF PUSH THAT REQUIREMENT OUT BASED ON THE HERO WAY 2243 EXPANSION SO THAT WE'RE NOT HAVING THEM PUT IN A 10 FOOT SIDEWALK AND THEN HAVE TO TEAR THAT DOWN AND PUT IN ANOTHER 10 FOOT SIDEWALK DOWN THE ROAD. OR, OR IS THE REQUIREMENT GONNA BE AT THE SETBACK IN PREPARATION FOR THE HERO WAY EXPANSION? SO THEY DO IT ONE TIME. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD EVALUATE ONCE WE GET TO THE SITE DEVELOPMENT STAGE. BUT IF THEY'RE TRULY STARTING IN 2024, I IMAGINE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT THE SIDEWALK IN THE RIGHT SPOT. GREAT. AND THEN MY LAST STAFF QUESTION WOULD BE, UM, SO WE'VE HAD OTHER DEVELOPERS COME IN AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, WE'VE HAD SOME THAT HAVE REDUCED THE NUMBER OF, UM, THE, THE, THAT REDUCED THEIR DENSITY O OVER THE LAST FEW BIT. WE'VE HAD SOME THAT WAS ALREADY KIND OF PLANNED, SO THEY, THEY HAD ALREADY HAD, UH, PRE-APPROVAL, BUT THEY'VE COME IN AND SAID, HEY, WE WANNA MIX THIS UP A LITTLE BIT MORE AND WE WANNA REDUCE OUR DENSITY. THAT'S CORRECT. RIGHT. OKAY. THAT'S, THAT'S ALL. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT I'M STILL THINKING RIGHT AND HAVEN'T LOST EVERYTHING HERE. UM, FOR MR. VERDI VERIO, I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, SIR. AT THIS TIME, DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HOW MANY SQUARE FOOT OF RESIDENTIAL OR OFFICE SPACE THAT, THAT YOU'RE PLANNING? I KNOW YOU'RE IN EARLY PLANNING, BUT I AM KICKING MYSELF THAT I DON'T HAVE THE TWO PAGE SPREADSHEET ON THAT WITH ME. OKAY. MY APOLOGIES. IT'S OKAY. YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE OUR MOMENTS, MR. VERDI, AND THAT WAS YOUR MOMENT TO SHINE. I'M MY APOLOGIES. THAT'S OKAY. THAT'S OKAY. UM, CAUSE THAT, I MEAN, THAT, THAT COULD MAKE A, THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE WHEN WE HEAR NUMBERS LIKE THAT. I MEAN, IT, IT WAS MILLIONS OF SQUARE FEET. OKAY. AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S THAT, AND WE, WE TOUCHED ON IT, BUT WE, WE JUST LITERALLY TOUCHED ON IT, THE 80 FOOT BUILDINGS, THAT ABILITY PROVIDES A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY ON A 40 ACRE TRACK TO BRING A LOT OF ACTIVITY TO LEANER. SO I, I KNOW THOSE, UM, BUILDINGS ON YOUR PLANNING DESIGN ARE, ARE LABELED. AND YOU KNOW, I CAN'T READ THE LABELS FROM HERE, BUT, UH, COMMISSIONER OLIVER KIND OF TOUCHED ON IT WITH HIS QUESTIONS AND, AND YOU ANSWERED IT, BUT THERE ARE, THERE'S NO BUILDING THAT'S RESIDENTIAL ONLY BECAUSE, CORRECT. IT'S ALL VERTICAL MIXED USE WHENEVER THERE'S A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT, BUT THERE ARE SOME BUILDINGS THAT ARE NO RESIDENTIAL WHATSOEVER. SO LIKE A COMPLETE OFFICE BUILDING AS AN EXAMPLE. YES, WE'VE LOOKED AT COMPLETE OFFICE BUILDINGS, WE'VE ACTUALLY DISCUSSED HOTELS AND AGAIN, RESTAURANTS. IT'S ALL THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU CAN BRING TO A SITE TO, TO GET THAT ACTIVITY ALL DAY LONG INTO THE EVENING. SO, HOTELS, OFFICES, UM, RESTAURANTS HAVE ALL BEEN, AND SOME OF 'EM, LIKE YOU SAID, ARE BUILDINGS ARE EXCLUSIVE TO THOSE USES. AND THAT'S HOW YOU GOT ON YOUR SPREADSHEET TO THIS YES, UH, MIX OF PERCENTAGES FROM COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. UM, THAT, THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTIONS. I JUST HAVE A, A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. I, I, UM, I DO LIKE HOW, UH, IT, IT DEFINITELY FEELS PLANNED AND THOUGHT OUT, UH, WITH SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS IN MIND OF TAKING AWAY ENTIRE RESIDE RESIDENTIAL ONLY BUILDINGS. THEY'RE PLANNING FOR THE HERE AWAY EXPANSION. THEY HAVE A MAX NUMBER OF UNITS. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL FOLKS THAT HAVE COME IN BEFORE THAT DIDN'T WANNA MAX AT ALL, UH, CAP THE NUMBER OF UNITS. UH, HOWEVER, JUST LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS SAID, I'M CONCERNED WITH 650 ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS. RIGHT. SO 650 CONNECTIONS ARE THINGS THAT THE CITY MANAGER TALKS ABOUT AS THE NUMBER OF CONNECTIONS ALL THE TIME. AND I'M SURE THAT'LL COME UP AT, AT CITY COUNCIL WHEN, WHEN YOU GUYS, UH, REACH IT TO THERE AS WELL. UM, HOWEVER, DURING THE, UM, DURING THE WORKSHOP WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE RESOLUTION ITSELF SPECIFICALLY, UH, THE, THE IDEA BEHIND THE RESOLUTION WAS A GUIDEPOST FOR US TO TAKE THESE THINGS ON A CASE BY CASE NATURE, NOT TO BLANKET DENY EVERYTHING THAT COMES ACROSS. SO I ALSO THINK THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL AS WE'RE THINKING THROUGH THIS AND SAY, IS THIS RIGHT FOR LEANDER? RIGHT? IS THIS RIGHT RIGHT NOW FOR LEANDER? WHICH IS TWO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS BY THE WAY AS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT. CUZ SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE THE RIGHT THING JUST MIGHT NOT BE THE RIGHT TIME. AND I GET THAT. UM, BUT, BUT I, I, I DO SUPPORT THE RESOLUTION. I KNOW WHAT CITY COUNCIL AND, AND THE STAFF ARE TRYING TO DO, UH, WITH THE, UH, RESOLUTION AND WITH LIMITING THAT. BUT AS I ASKED, UH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GRIFFIN EARLIER, YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN REDUCTIONS IN SOME ALREADY FACTORED INTO OUR WATER SITUATION, UH, DENSITIES. SO THERE HAVE BEEN SOME MINUSES THAT'LL GO ALONG WITH THAT. SO THIS ISN'T A PLUS SIX 50 ALTOGETHER. UM, I, I'M, I'M KIND OF TORN BETWEEN COMMISSIONER KOG GROVE AND COMMISSIONER OLIVER ON WHAT I BELIEVE AROUND, YOU KNOW, AN APARTMENT [00:50:01] UNIT VERSUS A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSEHOLD AND ET CETERA. CAUSE CUZ JUST LIKE COMMISSIONER OLIVER SAID, I HAVEN'T SEEN A STUDY ON IT. LIKE IF I KNEW THE DATA, IF I HAD THE DATA, THAT WOULD BE SUPER HELPFUL. SO IF ANYBODY'S OUT THERE LISTENING WANTS TO PROVIDE THAT, THAT WOULD BE AMAZING FOR ALL OF US. IT WOULD, IT WOULD BE SUPER HELPFUL FOR US. UM, BUT I DO THINK THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS FOR ME PERSONALLY, THAT I, GIVEN THE LOCATION OF WHERE IT'S AT, GIVEN WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO, UNDERSTANDING THAT, UM, THAT EVEN IN A RESIDENTIAL SPACE, IT'S GONNA HAVE A COMMERCIAL COMPONENT TO IT, THAT THIS IS A, THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD PRODUCT. RIGHT. AGAIN, THAT'S MY, THAT'S MY THOUGHTS ON THIS. AND UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. SO I'LL, I'LL LEAVE IT UP FOR YOU GUYS TO DECIDE AND TO VOTE ON WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO. AND I KNOW WE HAVE SOME MORE COMMENTS. SO BEFORE WE TAKE IT, BEFORE WE TAKE A, UM, AH, BEFORE WE, BEFORE WE TAKE A VOTE, I'LL, I'LL LET YOU GUYS FINISH ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE. SO THAT'S, THAT'S ALL FROM ME. COMMISSIONER MAY ONE THING I'D LIKE TO NOTE ABOUT THE RESIDENTIAL VERSUS MULTI-FAMILY. YES. A RESIDENTIAL HOME USES MORE WATER BECAUSE THEY ESTIMATE ANYWHERE FROM, I'VE HEARD THE LOW OF 33% OF OUR DRINKING WATER GETS SPRAYED ON GRASS AND I'VE HEARD IT AS HIGH AS 60%. OKAY. HOWEVER, THAT BEING SAID, CITY COUNCIL CAN PASS RESOLUTIONS, WHICH THEY HAVE MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, NO OUTDOOR WATERING. SO YOU CAN, UH, ELIMINATE ONE THIRD TO 60% OF ALL THE WATER USE BY SIMPLE COMMAND. WHEN YOU HAVE MULTI-FAMILY, YOU CAN'T SAY NO DRINKING WATER, NO RUNNING YOUR DISHWASHER, NO RUNNING YOUR, UH, YOU CAN'T SHOWER. UM, GOD, I HOPE THEY NEVER SAY THAT IN TEXAS. , YOU KNOW, SO THE, THE WHILE, YES, A SINGLE FAMILY UNIT DOES USE MORE WATER WITH NO WATERING RESTRICTIONS. UH, MULTI-FAMILY, YOU HAVE 16 UNITS PER ACRE. IF WE, IF THEY WERE RESIDENTIAL, THEY COULD BUILD, WAS IT FOUR OR FIVE PER ACRE RIGHT NOW? YES. YEAH. OKAY. SO WE'RE PUTTING IN OVER THREE TIMES AS MANY UNITS DO APARTMENTS USE ONE THIRD OF THE WATER THAT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME WOULD DO WITH WATERING RESTRICTIONS. AND WE'RE GONNA GET TO THE POINT, CLOSE TO THE END OF 20, 27, 20 28, WHERE WE MAY HAVE ISSUES, IS OUR FAUCET GOING TO RUN DRY EVEN WITH WATERING RESTRICTIONS? AND THAT, THAT'S A HUGE CONCERN AND THAT'S WHY I SAID IF THIS IS 2028, I WOULD BE A WHOLE LOT MORE FOR THIS PROJECT. UM, BUT WE'RE PUTTING IN THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT WITH COMMERCIAL HOOKUPS AND WE'RE ADDING THE MULT 650 UNITS OF MULTI-FAMILY ON TOP OF THE COMMERCIAL. AND THAT, THAT'S WHERE MY BIG CONCERN IS ON THAT RIGHT NOW. YES, SIR. JUST SOMETHING ELSE TOO. I'VE SEEN THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS, THEY'RE REALLY COOL, I LOVE 'EM, BUT A LOT OF THEM HAVE HEAVY RESTAURANTS, HEAVY, AND NOW YOU'RE TALKING A HOTEL THAT'S A LOT OF WATER USAGE MORE THAN JUST A HOME. A HOME IS WHEN YOU'RE TALKING A HOTEL AND PEOPLE, HOW MANY ROOMS? COUPLE HUNDRED ROOMS THERE. THAT'S JUST LIKE AN APARTMENT TO ME. AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RESTAURANTS THAT USE A LOT OF WATER IN THEIR SITUATION. SO THERE'S MORE THAN JUST WORRYING ABOUT THE 650, YOU KNOW, MULTI-FAMILY UNITS. I, I HAVE A QUESTION THAT'S NOW, NOW THAT YOU GUYS GOT ME THINKING A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THIS, IT'LL BE FOR MR. VERIO AND THEN FOR STAFF TO KIND OF CHIME IN AS WELL ON YOUR THOUGHTS. BUT IN A PERFECT WORLD, IF EVERYTHING GOES SMOOTHLY, WHEN WOULD THE FIRST CONNECTION BE HOOKED UP? JUST A GUESSTIMATE. AND THEN WHEN WOULD THE LAST YEARS, SEVERAL YEARS OUT. RIGHT. AND THEN WHEN WOULD THE LAST BE BE FURTHER ON THAN THAT? CORRECT. YES. I MEAN, AND, AND WHEN I SAY SEVERAL YEARS OUT, I MEAN, I'M JUST THINKING SIMILAR TYPE PROJECTS. HOW MANY YEARS DOES IT TAKE TO GET THROUGH ALL THE PERMITS WITH THE CITY, LET ALONE BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION? AND WOULD AND WOULD YOU CONCUR WITH THAT? YEAH, I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT SIMILAR PROJECTS, BUT YEAH, IT'S NOT, IT WOULDN'T BE IN THREE MONTHS, SO. RIGHT. SO WHEN THEY SAY SEVERAL YEARS, I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S A PRETTY VAGUE NUMBER. I'M A NUMBERS GUY AND SO, YOU KNOW, VAGUENESS DOESN'T HELP ME AND I GET WE'RE JUST GUESSTIMATING, BUT YOU'RE TALKING TWO TO THREE YEARS BEFORE WE GET THE FIRST CONNECTION. AND PROBABLY A FEW, COUPLE YEARS AFTER THAT TO GET TO THE LAST CONNECTION. I, I THINK WE, WE HAVEN'T TURNED A TAP ON IN NORTH LAWN YET. . BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT YOU DON'T IN GENERAL, BUT THEY HAVE TOWN HOMES NOW THAT RIGHT. TELL ME NOW. RIGHT. BUT THAT'S, THAT'S HOW MANY YEARS THEY TAKE US FROM, FROM APPROVAL TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. RIGHT. YEAH. SO I I I THINK THAT, AND, AND I KIND OF MENTIONED THIS AT THE WORKSHOP AS WELL, I THINK WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE LEAD TIME AS WELL THAT'S REQUIRED FROM APPROVAL [00:55:01] THROUGH ACTUALLY HAVING THAT IMPACT, THAT WATER IMPACT. SO THAT'S ALL. YEAH. I'LL, I'LL ADD THAT. I MEAN, JUST BASED ON SOME OF THE ESTIMATES THAT I SAW RECENTLY IS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING ABOUT 12,856 NEW RESIDENTIAL UNIONS IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THAT'S WITH CURRENT APPROVED PROJECTS WITHIN THE CITY. UM, SO YOU ADD THAT TO HOWEVER MANY WE'VE GOT RIGHT NOW. I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY A CITY OF ABOUT 90, 90 TO PLUS THOUSAND PEOPLE ALREADY. WE'LL, WE'LL PROBABLY BE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND I THINK WITH THE B C R U E. DID I GET THAT RIGHT THIS TIME? BCU, BBC, B C R U. THANK YOU. I CAN'T NEVER GET THAT ONE. RIGHT. UM, BUT YOU KNOW, GIVEN, WHEN, WHEN THAT COMES ONLINE, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO GO UP TO, WAS IT 120 OR NO, IT'S HIGHER THAN THAT. IT'S LIKE ALMOST 140. WHAT'S THAT? TWO 50? YEAH, ALL THE PHASES GET DONE. OH. AND ALL THE PHASES THEN IT'S TWO 50. THANK YOU. OKAY. IT'S DOUBLE. SO I MEAN, THERE IS, THERE'S SOME WIGGLE ROOM HERE AND I THINK GIVEN YOU KNOW, WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT WE'RE THINKING, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS ON THIS AND IT'S KIND OF HELPING ME. I MEAN, THIS IS A TOUGH ONE FOR ALL OF US, I THINK. SO I THINK WHAT YOU'VE DONE IS THOUGHTFULLY PLANNED OUT, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THOSE, THOSE HOOKUPS. BUT WE STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO, TO SHAPE THIS DOWN THE ROAD. I MEAN, WE, WHAT WE'RE APPROVING TODAY DOESN'T MEAN THIS IS GONNA BE THE FINAL, YOU KNOW, THE FINAL SAY ON EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING IN THERE. WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SHAPE THIS DOWN THE ROAD. AND SO THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY IS AS A, AS A COMMISSION HERE, YOU KNOW, WE STILL HAVE OTHER CONSIDERATIONS TO LOOK AT WHEN THIS THING CONTINUES TO GET, GET, YOU KNOW, PHASED IN AND, AND UM, AND BUILT OUT AND PLANNED. SORRY, I'VE GOT A COMMENT. YES, VICE CHAIR. UH, ACTUALLY WHATEVER YOU VOTE ON TONIGHT IN THE PUD LANGUAGE IS WHAT IT IS. YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO ME. NO. YEAH, YEAH. I MEAN IT'S, IT'S DIFFERENT THAN JUST, YOU KNOW, STRAIGHT ZONING BECAUSE THE PU DOCUMENT RULES, SO IT DOES NEED TO BE WORKED OUT NOW IF YOU'RE GONNA APPROVE IT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT, THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND I'LL SECOND IT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER KOG GROVE AND A SECONDED BY MYSELF. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT. THE MOTION FAILS. SAY WHO? YEAH. UH, SO WELL I'LL JUST SAY THERE'S ONLY THREE THAT, THAT'S IT. SO COMMISSIONER CUSG, MYSELF AND THE COMMISSIONER OLIVER WERE FOUR. AND SO THEN COMMISSIONERS MAY, UH, MOSS LAND VICE CHAIR TROPE AND COMMISSIONER CARPENTER WERE AGAINST AND WE'VE TALKED ENOUGH ABOUT IT. I THINK WE KNOW WHY YOUR OBJECTIONS ARE, UNLESS YOU ANYBODY WANTS TO ADD ANY MORE ON, ON THEIR OBJECTIONS. THE ONLY THING I'D LIKE TO ADD IS THAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, SEE THE, THE COUNCIL BE THE, THE DECIDING FACTOR ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANNA LOOK PAST THAT WATER ORDINANCE ISSUE. I MEAN, I'M HAVING A HARD TIME WITH IT ONLY BECAUSE, UH, YOU KNOW, I, I KNOW HOW DIRE THE WATER SITUATION IS AND I KNOW HOW FAST EVERYTHING IS GOING ON AND THIS IS NOT THE LAST TIME SOMEBODY'S GONNA BE SITTING HERE IN FRONT OF, WITH EXACTLY THE SAME THING. SO THAT'S MY ISSUE. ROBIN, IS THERE ANY WAY I, I, I'M THAT IT COULD, I DON'T KNOW, BE PHASED OR DELAYS AS TO WHEN CERTAIN PARTS OF THIS COULD COME ONLINE? I MEAN, CUZ IT, LIKE I SAID IN 2028, THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT. WE DON'T HAVE THE WATER OBJECTION IN 2028. BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, MY FEAR, YOU KNOW, WE APPROVE A PUT. UM, AND I KNOW THIS CAN'T HAPPEN, BUT THEORETICALLY THEY COULD HAVE IT BUILT IN 2026 AND WE'RE TWO YEARS LEFT WITH WATER RESTRICTIONS. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT IT COULD BE FA SO THE, WE, WE TALKED THROUGH THIS WITH, UM, LEGAL AND THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT, UM, TAKINGS. UM, SO WHAT IF YOU GET IN A SITUATION WHERE WE STOPPED THEIR DEVELOPMENT FOR FOUR YEARS AND THEN THE WATER DOESN'T COME ONLINE THE WAY WE THOUGHT, AND THEN WHAT DO WE DO? UM, THEY DISCOURAGED US FROM PUTTING IT IN ZONING. UM, IT WAS SOMETHING TO LOOK AT AS PART OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, BUT YOU STILL HAVE THAT ISSUE. LIKE, WHAT IF SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS? UH, SINCE THE MOTION FAILED, WE DON'T NEED A MOTION TO DENY. SO JUST JUST SO WE'RE ALL AWARE, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO ON AND WE CAN JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE SINCE THAT, UH, DID NOT PASS. SO WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA ITEM. DISCUSS [9. Discuss and consider action on the extension of the approval of Subdivision Case 19-TOD-PP-013 the Tylerville Northwest Subdivision Preliminary Plat on one parcel of land approximately 9.2045 acres ± in size, more particularly described by Williamson Central Appraisal District parcels R031694 and R601583; generally located northwest of the intersection of US 183 and W San Gabriel Pkwy, Leander, Williamson County, Texas. ] AND CONSIDER ACTION ON THE EXTENSION OF APPROVAL OF SUBDIVISION CASE 19 DASH TD DASH PP DASH ONE 13.

COMMISSIONER CARPENTER? YEAH, I HAVE A, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. UH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PREVIOUS PLAT THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN , YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. AND, AND I THINK THAT FOR THEM TO GO FIVE YEARS OUT AND THEN ASK FOR ANOTHER EXTENSION FOR SOMETHING THAT I WASN'T HERE FOR, I HAVE A HARD TIME EXTENDING SOMETHING I HAVEN'T EVER SEEN. AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE'RE STILL ALONG THE SAME LINE OF APPROVING THAT AT THIS POINT IN TIME. HAS CONDITIONS CHANGED? DO WE WANT TO LET IT LAPSE AND LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT DIRECTION? SO WHEN STAFF WAS, UM, REVIEWING THE REQUEST, WE DIDN'T SEE A BENEFIT TO LETTING IT LAPSE. THERE HAVEN'T BEEN NEW STANDARDS THAT THEY ARE VESTED TO THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED SINCE THE APPROVAL DATE. THIS IS A, UM, COMMERCIAL PLAT AND THEY'RE COMPLYING WITH THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS AND THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. THAT WAS MY NEXT QUESTION WAS, IS THIS, WAS THIS JUST AN OKAY THING? THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS AT THAT POINT IN TIME. CORRECT. WELL, THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR ME. RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. THAT'S IT. VICE CHAIR LAN, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

MY NAME'S TONY BETIS. I AM THE MANAGER FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF LEANDER. UH, FIRST OFF, I'M GONNA BEG YOU FORGIVENESS HERE BECAUSE I JUST LEARNED AT FOUR O'CLOCK I WAS EXPECTED TO HAVE A PRESENTATION. I WAS JUST GONNA DO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AND OF COURSE I WILL ANSWER EVERY QUESTION I CAN, BUT I'M GONNA SEE IF I CAN PUT TOGETHER A PRESENTATION. JOHN, WHERE I NEED TO PUT THIS. DO YOU MIND SIR? YEAH, I APOLOGIZE. THANK YOU. NO, THIS ISSUES WITH THIS. OKAY. I'M SORRY SIR. IT'S JUST THAT FIRST. UM, YES SIR. SEE WHO POPS UP. HERE WE GO. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. I'M HERE TO TRY TO ANSWER AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU HAVE. WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST, ROBUST CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM, WHICH WE'RE TRYING TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE ALL THE CORRECT NECESSARY NEEDS AND SYSTEMS AND SERVICES FOR OUR, OUR CITIZENS HERE IN THE CITY. UM, SO FAR THIS YEAR, WE'VE REALLY BEEN GOING ALONG ON THE FISCAL, NO, MY APOLOGIES, NOT FISCAL, BUT WITH REGARDS TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. UM, RECENTLY HERE, JUST THIS MONTH, WE'VE COMPLETED TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS. ONE AT SUNNY AND BAGHDAD, WHICH AS YOU CAN SEE OUR CITIZENS CROSSING. THEY'RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. YES, THANK YOU. UM, OH YES, OF COURSE. THANK YOU. OH, AND IT WAS A LONG TIME COMING. IT WAS VERY MUCH NEEDED. WE AS WELL AS THIS NEXT ONE, THAT HERO WAY AND RONALD REAGAN, WE'VE COMPLETED THAT RUN AS WELL. AND THAT HAS BEEN A, I GO THE HOME THAT WAY EVERY NIGHT. IT'S A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION AND I'M, I AM HAPPY TO SEE IT IN PLACE. ABSOLUTELY. WE HAVE FALCON OAKS WASTEWATER AND WATER LINES THAT WE'RE INSTALLING RIGHT NOW. UH, WE'VE FINISHED INSTALLING THE, THE WATER LINE AND WE'RE ABOUT 10% ON THE WASTEWATER LINE. UM, IT'S GONNA TAKE US A WHILE, PROBABLY A YEAR AND A HALF CUZ IT'S ALMOST SOLID LIMESTONE THERE. UM, QUITE A, QUITE A LOT OF DIGGING, BUT IT'LL, IT'LL BE PRETTY [01:05:01] NICE WHEN WE HAVE IT DONE. AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THE CITIZENS WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH WHAT WE PUT IN WHAT YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT. THAT'S VERY UNIQUE. THAT'S ACTUALLY A BORING SYSTEM WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BORE UNDER BAGHDAD ROAD TO THE OTHER SIDE SO WE CAN CONNECT TO THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM. UH, SO WE HAVE TO GO DOWN, YOU CAN SEE THE LAYERS OF LIMESTONE AND IT'S, UM, QUITE AN INTERESTING PROJECT. , I WAS HOPING DOESN'T END THAT WAY, BUT YES, IT'S UH, AND IT IS A LITTLE DANGEROUS TOO, SO, UH, THAT'S WHY WE KEEP IT FENCED OFF. UM, THE ONE THAT EVERYBODY'S ALWAYS ASKING ABOUT RIGHT AWAY AND WOODVIEW DRIVE. UH, WE ARE FINALLY SEEING LIGHT AT THE END OF THIS TUNNEL. WE'RE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE THESE DRAWINGS PERMITTED HERE SHORTLY. IT IS OUR GOAL TO HAVE THIS UNDER CONSTRUCTION HERE THIS SUMMER. UM, LET'S SEE IF I CAN DO THIS PROPERLY. RIGHT THERE IS OUR LOVE INTERSECTION BETWEEN RAIDER WAY AND CRYSTAL FALLS. WE WILL HAVE TO CLOSE THAT INTERSECTION OFF THIS SUMMER BECAUSE WE HAVE STORM DRAINS THAT COME IN RIGHT UNDERNEATH HERE. IT IS THE GOAL TO HAVE THAT OPEN BY AUGUST 11TH IN TIME FOR SCHOOL. WE'VE ALREADY HAD MULTIPLE MEETINGS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS, THE HOAS, THE BOTH SCHOOL SYSTEMS, I S D, THE CHURCHES. UH, AND MY NEXT MEETING WILL BE WITH MEETING THE, UH, PRIVATE LANDOWNERS. UM, BUT IT IS OUR GOAL TO HAVE RIGHT AWAY. HERE WE GO, RIGHT HERE, COMPLETED BY THE SUMMER OF 2024. SO IT IS FULLY USED AND OPERATIONAL BY THE TIME SCHOOL OPENS IN AUTUMN OF 2024. AND THEN WE'LL FOLLOW FALL BACK AND WE'LL FINISH UP WOODVIEW THAT FOLLOWING YEAR. IT, AND THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THIS COMPLETE PROJECT COMPLETED BY THE SUMMER OF 2025. SO I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT RIGHT AWAY. IS THERE RE UM, SORRY, I KNOW THERE'S A REASON, BUT WHAT WAS THE REASONING BEHIND ONLY HAVING A CENTER TURN LANE ON RIGHT OF WAY VERSUS MAKING OUT A FOUR LANE? VERY GOOD QUESTION. THAT WAS OUR INITIAL, UH, DESIGN CONCEPT. THE PROBLEM WHERE WE WERE FINDING OUT IS WHEN YOU HAVE FOUR LANES, TWO LANES COMING, TWO LANES GOING, PEOPLE GET BEHIND ONE SET OF TRAFFIC'S ON THE INSIDE LANES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY STOPPED TO TAKE A LEFT TURN LANE. NOW YOU'VE BACKED UP ALL THAT TRAFFIC BEHIND. SECOND POINT, WHEN YOU HAVE THAT MUCH TRAFFIC, YOU HAVE LESS VISIBILITY AND GREATER, I SHOULD SAY LOWER SAFETY FOR PEDESTRIANS, SPECIFICALLY OUR CHILDREN. AND SO OUR MAIN GOAL HERE IS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN ON THIS, YES, WE ARE LOOKING AT ONE CENTER TURN LANE TWO, UM, ONE LANE COMING AND GOING. WE'RE ALSO ADDING IN EIGHT FOOT BIKE LANES ON EACH SIDE, WHICH ARE WHAT'S BEHIND DELINEATORS AND CASTELLATED, UH, CURBS, WHICH CREATES A GREATER SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN WHO ARE ON BICYCLES BEYOND. ON THE OUTSIDE OF THAT, OF COURSE WE HAVE LARGE SIDEWALKS AT TWO LOCATIONS ALONG RIGHT AWAY WE'LL HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A HAWK. A HAWK IS A HIGH INTENSITY CROSSWALK AND THAT GIVES A CHANCE FOR OUR CHILDREN TO CROSS THAT ROADWAY, WHICH WE HAVE BUSES, WE HAVE ROADS, WE HAVE TRUCKS, WE HAVE CARS. AND ONCE AGAIN, OUR MAIN IS MAIN GOAL IS THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. UM, SO IT WAS THAT IN MIND THAT CHOSE US TO GO FROM FOUR TO THREE. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. NO, IT IT, IT ANSWERS THE QUESTION. BUT I THINK A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY CONCERN CAME AROUND THE, UM, DROPOFF PICKUP FROM WILEY. YES. ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE, UH, PEOPLE DOWN THE, UH, WESTBOUND SIDE OF CRYSTAL FALLS, UH, WESTBOUND, TRAFFIC DIRECTION OF CRYSTAL FALLS AND YOU KNOW, KEEPING THE ONE LANE WITH A TURN LANE, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO GO TO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA, THEY'RE STILL NOT ABLE TO DO SO WITH THE BACKUP AND TRAFFIC DURING THAT TIME OF DAY. SO I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT NECESSARILY ALLEVIATES SOME OF THE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS, WHICH CREATED SOME OF THE, THE CHURN AND THE NOISE AROUND EXPANDING RAIDER WAY. UH, BUT I DO GET WHY, UM, I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND YOU DID ANSWER MY QUESTION ON THE WHY FOR THE YES SIR. FOR THE, UH, CENTER TURN LANE ONLY. OKAY, SO RAIDER WAY IS THE LITTLE STREET, UM, BY THE HIGH SCHOOL. YES MA'AM. YEAH. SMALL, SMALL STREET. IT'S A VERY SMALL STREET. YEAH. YES MA'AM. YEAH. AND YOU RIGHT, IT HAS THE RIGHT NAME WHERE YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, TURN IN IF YOU COME LIKE OVER REAGAN, BUT IT'S YEAH, THAT I'LL BE HAPPY WITH THAT . I HOPE SO, SO FAR IT'S HORRIBLE. I HAD TO TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTERS TO SCHOOL AND THIS NIGHT UP I'M LOOKING LIKE DON KING, THE ONE OVER THERE. AM I HERE JUST STICKING UP. I'M JUST DISPENSING. SO YES MA'AM, I'VE, I I'LL BE HAPPY. THANK YOU. . YES MA'AM. THANK YOU. AND SO FAR, KNOCK ON WOOD, EVERYBODY SEEMS, WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION, EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE HAPPY WITH WHAT WE'VE PRESENTED TO, TO ALL THE SCHOOL MEMBERS, ALL THE, THE HOA THE FAMILY, UH, RESIDENCE BACK THERE. YES MA'AM. AND WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP IT AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE. AS OPEN AS POSSIBLE. YES MA'AM. AND IS OUR GOAL THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT TO MAINTAIN OPEN DIALOGUE WITH OUR [01:10:01] CITIZENS, KEEP HIM, IS THERE, IS THERE GONNA BE LIKE A, LIKE A RIGHT TURN LANE COMING OFF OF UM, YOU KNOW, AS LIKE A SEPARATE DEDICATED RIGHT TURN LANE COMING OFF OF HERE OFF OF RIGHT WAY ONTO CRYSTAL FALLS? YES, BECAUSE CUZ IF YOU'RE ONLY GONNA GO WITH, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF, IF YOU'RE ONLY GONNA GO WITH THREE LANES VERSUS FOUR YES. YOU KNOW, THAT TRAFFIC DOES BACK UP SIGNIFICANTLY FOR THOSE TRYING TO TURN LEFT AND, AND ALL OF THAT. SO YES, THERE HAS BEEN THE QUESTION FROM THE CITIZENS, ARE WE GONNA ADD IN A RIGHT TURN LANE OFF OF CRYSTAL FALLS ONTO RIGHT WAY? YEAH. AT THIS POINT IN TIME WE DO NOT HAVE THAT. THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE LOOK AT IN THE FUTURE, BUT THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS PROJECT. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TOO, CUZ THAT BACKS UP THAT LANE. I, SO JUST FOR CONTEXT, I GO UP AND DOWN THIS ROAD EVERY DAY, I GO UP AND DOWN RIGHT WAY AT LEAST MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. MM-HMM. . UM, AND SO YEAH, I I'M, I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE TRAFFIC. I MEAN I KNOW DURING SCHOOL TIME IF I'M TRYING TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, I GET IN THE LEFT LANE. YES. RIGHT? YES. YEAH. UH, AND NOW THERE'S ACTUALLY A SHORTCUT THROUGH THAT LEANDER DEVELOPMENT, UM, WHAT FIGURE WHAT IT'S CALLED. BUT YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. UM, IF YOU WANT TO GET AROUND THE, THE INTERSECTION AT ONE A THREE A, UM, BUT YEAH, THIS IS LONG OVERDUE, SO YES IT IS. JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE GET IT DONE. WE GET IT DONE RIGHT. CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING UP, DOWN ROADWAY. VERY, VERY MUCH SO. AND THAT IS THE GOAL AND WE'RE UNDER THE GUN, SO TO SPEAK, TO GET IT DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. BUT ALSO, LIKE YOU SAY, GET IT RIGHT. YES. NOW QUESTION THOUGH, THE LAST, UH, YOU KNOW, THE PROJECT THAT WE WERE VOTING ON HERE, UM, THEY WERE MENTIONING HERO WAY. SO IS THAT GONNA EVENTUALLY GO ACROSS 2243? IS THAT THE PLAN AND THEN ALL WAY THE TRAFFIC, THE HERO, UH, TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN DOES SHOW NOT HERO, BUT I MEAN, UH, RIGHT AWAY. YEAH. YES SIR. THE, THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN DOES SHOW RIGHT WAY EXTENDING NORTHWARD. OKAY. ALL THE WAY TO SAN GABRIEL IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. ROBIN, UH, I'M SORRY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROBIN GRIFFIN. IS THAT CORRECT? WASN'T LISTENING. WAIT, WAIT GOES ALL GABRIEL. SHE NEVER LISTENS TO ME. SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE VOTE ON ANYTHING SO SHE'S NOT LISTENING. YES, IT'S ALL GOOD. BUT YES, PER OF THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, IT IS IN THE FUTURE ANTICIPATED TO GO ALL THE WAY NORTH. YES TO SAN GABRIEL ROLL. LET'S MOVE ON A LITTLE BIT. FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO. WE'RE CURRENTLY, UM, IN THE PROCESS ABOUT TRYING TO GET THIS PERMITTED, THIS ADDS IN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. WE WILL BE COMING IN AND ADDING IN THIS EXTRA BAY WITH A DORMITORY ABOVE IT. WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT ADDS EMS AND AN AMBULANCE OVER IN THAT PART OF THE CITY AND IT'S, UM, VERY NEEDED. CUZ RIGHT NOW THEY'RE, THEY'RE HAVING A, A LONGER RESPONSE TIME TO GET TO THAT, THAT SIDE OF THE CITY. EAST SAN GABRIEL ELEVATED STORAGE TANK. WE'RE TALKING WATER. WATER OF COURSE IS OUR GREATEST PRIORITY HERE IN THE CITY. UH, WHAT THIS IS GONNA DO IS THIS IS GONNA ADD 1.25 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER. IT'S GONNA PUT IT RIGHT THERE ON THIS LITTLE POINT OF LAND RIGHT NEXT TO OUR PUMP STATION. AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS. WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE CONTRACT READY TO, UM, PROCEED. WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE PROCESS OF WHERE I'M SURE EVERYBODY'S ALSO SECONDARY QUESTION WITH REGARDS TO SAN GABRIEL PARKWAY EAST EXTENSION, THIS IS WHAT COMING IN, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO PUT THIS OUT TO BID THIS LATE AUTUMN SO WE CAN GET IT STARTED HERE COMING WINTER. BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE STARTING TO CLEAR THESE TREES SO WE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THIS SITE. TO BEGIN BUILDING THIS HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. TELL ME, I BELIEVE LET'S CEILING TWO FIVE, I BELIEVE. UH, IT IS, WE WERE TRYING TO SURROUND THE CITY WITH WATER TANKS. WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT HELPS ALLEVIATE THE PEAKS AND VALLEYS OF, OF THE WATER USAGE AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET TO THE POINT WITH THE EXPANSION OF THE B C R U A AND OF SANDY CREEK AND ONCE WE HAVE THAT, WE SHOULD FIVE, SIX YEARS FROM NOW BE DOING VERY WELL. BUT THAT'S, THAT'S HARD TO DETERMINE UNTIL WE ACTUALLY GET THERE. YES MA'AM. ABSOLUTELY. OF COURSE. UH, JOURNEY PARKWAY AT, AT COUNTY ROAD 1 75, THIS TOO IS ALSO A VERY PROBLEMATIC INTERSECTION. UH, IT IS CURRENTLY IN DESIGN. WE ACTUALLY HAVE HAD THAT SUBMITTED FOR, FOR PERMITTED REVIEW. UH, WE'D LIKE TO SEE THAT GOING OUT TO BID HERE THIS SUMMER. SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE MAYBE BY, UM, AUTUMN WINTER A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THAT INTERSECTION. ACTION. UH, I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL KNOW WITH REGARDS TO, UM, CURRENT SITUATIONS THAT WE HAVE WITH GETTING MATERIALS. ONE OF THE LONG LEVY ITEMS WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ON TRAFFIC SIGNALS RIGHT NOW [01:15:01] IS POSTS AND MASS WHERE, WHEREAS WE USED TO BE ABLE TO GET 'EM WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEY'RE NOW TAKING ANYWHERE FROM SIX TO NINE MONTHS TO GET. AND SO THAT HAS BEEN PROBLEMATIC FOR US. SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WE'RE TRYING TO THINK AHEAD AND AS SOON AS WE CAN GET THOSE, WE TRY TO EXPEDITE THE SUBMITTAL PROCESS AND REVIEW PROCESS SO WE CAN ORDER THOSE IMMEDIATELY. UH, THAT STILL DOESN'T REALLY GET US AS FAST AS WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THEM, BUT IT SPEEDS IT UP A LITTLE BIT. SO ANOTHER LITTLE PROBLEMATIC SITU, UH, INTERSECTION COLLABORATIVE WAY AT BAGHDAD ROAD. WE KNOW THAT THIS ONE'S PROBLEMATIC, IT'S DANGEROUS, IT'S A CONCERN. IT IS ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DESIGNED, RATED ABOUT 60% DESIGNED RIGHT NOW. UM, RIGHT NOW WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS WITH L I S D TO OBTAIN, UH, SOME ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY RIGHT HERE SO WE CAN PUT A DEDICATED RIGHT TURN LANE. UH, ONCE WE GET THAT GOING, I'M HOPING TO HAVE THAT OUT TO BID THIS AUTUMN. SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL BY LATE SPRING 2024. SO I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS ONE. SO HOW'S THAT GONNA, HOW'S THAT GONNA IMPACT CR TWO 80 RIGHT HERE BECAUSE IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE COLLABORATIVE WAY. IF YOU PUT A LIGHT RIGHT HERE, WHAT'S THAT GONNA DO WITH THIS ROAD? I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT MUCH TRAFFIC. I KNOW THAT THERE'S, WE'RE ADDING IN THREE MORE SUBDIVISIONS BACK THERE, SO IMAGINE THAT'S GONNA BE PROBLEMATIC. UH, PART OF THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN IS THE EXTENSION OF COLLABORATIVE WAY COMING ACROSS THROUGH HERE AND THAT THAT'S STILL A FEW YEARS OUT. UH, BUT THAT IS OUR GOAL TO GET THERE BECAUSE WE DO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND YOU'RE QUITE CORRECT THAT EVENTUALLY THAT IS GONNA CAUSE PROBLEMS ON THAT, THAT COUNTY ROAD. SO IT WILL BE THE GOAL TO EXTEND THAT ROADWAY. SAN GABRIEL PARKWAY, RIGHT TURN LANE ONTO HIGHWAY 180 3. UM, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW. THIS IS, UH, IN THE PERMITTING PROCESS FOR REVIEW. I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS GOING OUT TO BID THIS SUMMER. UM, THIS WILL PROBABLY TAKE US ANYWHERE FROM NINE MONTHS TO 12 MONTHS. I DON'T THINK IT'LL TAKE US 12 MONTHS, PROBABLY CLOSER TO NINE MONTHS TO COMPLETE IN CONSTRUCTION. SOUTH STREET AND WEST DRIVE. THESE ARE ALWAYS QUESTIONS. EVERYBODY LIKES TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. UH, WE HAVE SOME VERY EXCITING THINGS GOING ON. WE HAVE THE OLD TOWN MASTER PLAN THAT'S IN PROCESS. WE HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS AND DREAMS AND HOPES OF WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THE OLD TOWN AREA. PART OF THAT IS ALSO INCREASING AND IMPROVING SOUTH STREET AND WEST DRIVE, WHICH WILL IMPROVE THIS INTERSECTION HERE. ALSO, IT'LL IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW ON BOTH SOUTH AND WEST AS WELL. RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST BEGINNING THE DESIGN PROCESS. THAT DESIGN PROCESS ESTIMATED BETWEEN 12 TO 15 MONTHS. IT'S VERY INTENSE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF UTILITIES THAT HAVE TO BE TAKEN UNDERGROUND AND SO WE HAVE TO WORK WITH A LOT OF THE UTILITY PROVIDERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET THAT IN THE RIGHT WAY. SO ESTIMATING ABOUT, WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THIS ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, SO ESTIMATING ANOTHER 12 MONTHS TO COMPLETE DESIGN. SO MAYBE WE'LL BE TRYING TO GO OUT TO BID SUMMER OF 2024. WE HAVE OTHER UPCOMING PROJECTS AND THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, SAN GABRIEL PARK. I'M SURE Y'ALL ARE ALL AWARE OF THAT. THAT'S AT, UH, WE'RE 180 3 A CROSSES THE RIVER. UH, IT'S ON THAT NORTHEAST CORNER AND IT'S GONNA BE, UM, 90, 98 ACRES I BELIEVE, WHICH WILL BE, UM, WELL-PLANNED WITH SOME REALLY NICE SPORTING VENUES. WE HAVE SAN GABRIEL PARKWAY EAST, THAT'S PHASE TWO. THAT'S WHERE THAT ONE THAT'LL BE GOING RIGHT THERE BY THAT NEW, UH, ELEVATED STORAGE TANK. WE HOPED PUT THAT OUT TO BID, UH, LATE AUTUMN. HAVE THAT GOING INTO CONSTRUCTION IN WINTER OF 2024 ST. GABLE PARKWAY EAST. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO OBTAIN, UH, RIGHT OF WAY FOR THAT. UH, WE'RE ABOUT 10% INTO DESIGN. I WOULD NOT EXPECT THE DESIGN FOR THAT TO BE COMPLETED FOR PROBABLY ANOTHER 12 MONTHS. SO WE'LL GO INTO BID ON THAT SUMMER OF 2024. THE RECLAIMED WATER SYSTEM, WHICH ONCE AGAIN WATER IS SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR CITY. UTILIZING RECLAIMED WATER OUT OF OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. WE HAVE A LOT OF WATER THAT WE CAN UTILIZE FOR IRRIGATION. UH, AND THAT IS OUR HOPE AND GOAL THAT WE CAN BEGIN TO SPIDER OUT ACROSS THE SEATING. BEING ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT, IT'S A GREAT VALUABLE RESOURCE. UH, THE RM 2243 WATER LINE THAT EXTENDS A GREATER QUANTITY OF WATER GOING EASTWARD FROM, UM, 180 3 A TOWARDS, UH, RONALD REAGAN DOWNTOWN. FIRE IMPROVEMENTS THAT INCREASES THE FLOW HERE IN THE OLD TOWN AREA. UH, WE HAVE THE DRAWINGS ARE IN FOR PERMITTING RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE 90%. WE HOPE TO HAVE THOSE APPROVED HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS AND HAVE THAT OUT TO BID THIS SUMMER. [01:20:02] BAGHDAD TERMINUS PUMP STATION GST IS A GROUND STORAGE TANK, WHICH FOR THE BAGHDAD, THIS IS ACROSS FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL, UH, IS A $1.5 MILLION, UH, MILLION GALLON, I'M SORRY, 1.5 MILLION GALLON GROUND STORAGE TANK AND WATER LINES. THE WATER LINES WILL INCREASE THE QUANTITY OF WATER GOING NORTHWARD UP. UM, BAGHDAD TO CRYSTAL FALLS AND ATTACHING TO THE CRYSTAL FALLS, UH, WATER PUMP STATION THERE AS WELL. RONALD REAGAN GST THAT'S GROUND STORAGE TANKS WILL BE ADDING TWO 2.5 MILLION GROUND STORAGE TANKS AND A LARGE PUMP STATION. THIS IS GOING IN AT THE INTERSECTION OF CRYSTAL FALLS AND RONALD REAGAN. THIS IS THIS PAST YEAR. WE PURCHASED SEVEN ACRES RIGHT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT INTERSECTION. PART OF THAT WILL BECOME RIGHT AWAY FOR THE EAST CRYSTAL FALLS EXTENSION AS WELL AS ABOUT THREE ACRES WHICH WILL BE UTILIZED FOR THE EAST GROUND STORAGE TANKS AND PUMP STATION THAT IS GOING OUT FOR WHAT WE CALL AN RFQ PROCESS. UH, WE'VE ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE SOQ STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATIONS AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF QUALIFYING THOSE. WE HOPE TO HAVE SOMEBODY UNDER CONTRACT TO BEGIN DESIGN BY THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER. TREVISO NORTHWEST ELEVATE. GEORGE TANK IS OFF OF NAMELESS AND THAT IS GONNA BE GOING OUT FOR RFQ THIS SUMMER. SO WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT UNDER DESIGN STARTING THIS AUTUMN. THAT'LL BE ADDING A ELEVATED STORAGE TANK AT 1.25 MILLION GALLONS. THE SANDY CREEK WATER TREATMENT IMPROVEMENTS. OF COURSE THERE'S SOME GREAT IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE OCCURRING THERE. UM, OF COURSE GINA OF COURSE Y'ALL ALL KNOW GINA, SHE HAS FAR MORE KNOWLEDGE THAN I DO AND SHE WOULD BE A GREAT PERSON TO EXPAND ON THAT. UH, I'M NOT AS KNOWLEDGEABLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE AS SHE IS. SAME WITH THE B C R E A, UH, WATER TREATMENT PLAN IMPROVEMENTS AND THE B C R U A DEEP WATER INTAKE. WE DO HAVE MORE PROJECTS COMING IN. UM, MOST OF THESE ARE SMALLER PROJECTS, BUT WE TRY TO KEEP THE, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS REALLY MOVING ALONG. SO NOW THAT WE HAVE, DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER FOR Y'ALL? ARE ALL THE PROJECTS YOU SHOWED US FUNDED? YES, THEY ARE. OKAY. THEY ARE. I'M GOOD THEN. THAT'S IT. THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION. THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD QUESTION. ANY QUESTIONS? NO. NO. WELL THEN ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WITH THAT I'M ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11.
