[CONSENT AGENDA]
AGENDA. ITEMS PLACED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE IN NATURE AND NONCONTROVERSIAL. THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION AND NON-CONTROVERSIAL.ROUTINE PLANNING AND ZONING ITEMS WHERE THERE IS NO OPPOSITION AND WERE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED BY THE PNC COMMISSION, AND WHERE NO COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL PRIOR TO MEETING, ALSO MAY BE ACTED UPON DURING THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING. ITEMS MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AT THE REQUEST OF COUNCIL MEMBERS OR STAFF. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE AN ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA? YES, I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE ITEM TEN AND I'VE GOT A QUESTION ON SIX. SO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND YEAH
[00:05:04]
PULL THAT OFF. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL ACCEPT THE MOTION TO CONSENT TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEMS NUMBER SIX AND TEN. WE'VE GOT A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER KERN SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HODGES. ALL IN FAVOR? THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM[6. Consider and act upon authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement between Kleinfelder, Inc., and the Town of Prosper, Texas, related to professional construction materials testing and observation services for the Upper Doe Branch Wastewater Line project for $113,115. (PA)]
NUMBER SIX. YES. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MY QUESTION PRIMARILY. I KNOW THIS IS A BUDGETARY ITEM, BUT HOW WE ARRIVED AT MY MIC IS ON HERE. MAYBE. AND THE FUNDS THERE. IT SHOWS 113,000. A LARGE CONSIDERATION OF THAT FUNDS WAS MADE UP FROM TRAVEL. AND I KNOW THOSE ARE EARMARKED. BUT TRAVEL AND OVERTIME. AND I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHEN WE'RE TAKING SAMPLES AND WE'RE DOING THIS AS AN ADDED FEATURE TO MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT THE RIGHT PROCESSES IN PLACE, HOW WE ARRIVED AT THAT MANY TRIPS AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THE TRAVEL WAS TO THE LOCATION ACROSS, LIKE ACROSS THE METROPLEX MULTIPLE TIMES. SO BECAUSE IT'S A LARGE PORTION OF THE BID, I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC BEHIND IT. YES, SIR. THIS IS JUST AN ESTIMATE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH THE LAB. WE PROJECTED THAT AMOUNT. THE ACTUAL TRIPS ARE ALL LOGGED BY OUR SUPERINTENDENTS, BUT WHEN THE LAB GOES OUT THERE AND THEN THE OVERTIME IS ONLY ALLOWED FOR AFTER HOURS WORK. SO AGAIN, THIS IS JUST AN ESTIMATE NOT TO EXCEED. SO THE ACTUAL BILLING WILL BE PROBABLY LESS THAN THIS. OKAY. BUT WE HAVE CONTROL OVER YOU KNOW, WHEN WE REQUEST. YES, SIR. BEFORE OR AFTER HOURS AND THE NUMBER OF TRIPS. OKAY. THANK YOU. I'M GOOD. MR. MAYOR. I MOVED TO APPROVE SIX. OKAY. MOTION FOR MARCUS RAY. SECOND FROM CAMERON REECE. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION[10. Consider and act upon whether to direct staff to submit a written notice of appeals on behalf of the Town Council to the Development Services Department, pursuant to Chapter 4, Section 1.5(C)(7) and 1.6(B)(7) of the Town’s Zoning Ordinance, regarding action taken by the Planning & Zoning Commission on Preliminary Site Plans and Site Plans. (DH)]
PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TEN. I'LL JUST GO TO COUNCILWOMAN BARTLEY FOR THIS. MR. HOOVER IS COMING. THIS IS AN ITEM. A PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN THAT PAST PLANNING AND ZONING. I UNDERSTAND WITH A COUPLE OF CONCERNS IN THE WORK SESSION.AND THEN THINK 6 TO 1 PASS. SO I TOOK A LOOK AT IT AS WELL. I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS. SOME ARE DIFFERENT. SOME ARE SIMILAR TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. SO IF YOU'LL SORT OF INDULGE ME, I'LL JUST KIND OF GO THROUGH THEM REALLY QUICKLY AND THEN AND THEN GO FROM THERE. THE FIRST ONE. YEAH IT'S PD FOUR. IT'S THE ONLY ONE ON THERE I THINK IS RIGHT. PROSPER LEGACY BOX D THROUGH F. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO PUT ONE OF THE SLIDES UP. YES. PERFECT. OKAY. ACTUALLY YES. THAT ONE'S GOOD. OKAY. SO IN THE PD, THE FIRST ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS IN THE PD EXHIBIT C 1.6. IT TALKS ABOUT VILLAGE A NEEDING TO HAVE 15 ACRES OF RETAIL AREA. AND ON THIS ONE I SEE AROUND 12. THEN THE OTHER ONE IS IN THE PD. THERE 4.3. THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS ALONG LEGACY, WHICH IS A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE IN OUR THOROUGHFARE PLAN. IT APPEARS HERE THAT THE BUFFER, THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER IS 25FT. AND IN THE PD IT SHOULD BE 30FT. THE ISSUE, THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS IN. SO BLOCK E LOT ONE, WHICH IS ON ROUSSEAU TO THE NORTH AND BLOCK F, LOT ONE ABUTTING STAR MEADOW. THOSE ARE DRIVE THRUS. SO MY CONCERN IS, AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT SOME DRIVE THRUS IN TOWN THAT BACK UP. THE TRAFFIC BACKS UP. YOU KNOW MORE THAN OTHERS. ANDY'S CUSTARD, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES CAN COME IN ON ONTO FIRST STREET. YOU KNOW GO TO THE CHICK FIL A AND GATES. IT'S BACKED UP INTO THE INTO THE PARKING FIRE LANE AREA. SO MY CONCERN WITH THESE TWO DRIVE THRUS AND THEIR LOCATION IS THE QUEUING LINES. IF THEY BACK UP, THEY'RE COMING INTO WHAT ESSENTIALLY IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA OR THE EXIT TO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA. SO TO ME THAT IS A TRAFFIC MOBILITY ISSUE AND A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE HARD FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO COME IN THERE. YOU KNOW, SHOULD THOSE BACK UP IN THOSE TWO LOCATIONS.
NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IF THEY BACK UP PAST THE DRIVE, WHICH ISN'T, YOU KNOW, A LONG LEAD IN TO WHERE YOU GET TO PROSPER, TRAIL OR LEGACY, YOU'RE BACKING UP ONTO A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE OR A MINOR THOROUGHFARE. SO I WOULD LIKE TO JUST KIND OF MARK THAT AS A CONCERN AS WELL. THE OTHER CONCERN IS HAS TO DO WITH OUR ZONING ORDINANCE. AND IN CHAPTER 48.2, I UNDERSTAND WE CAN'T REGULATE BUILDING MATERIALS, BUT THERE IS SOME DISCUSSION HERE ABOUT ROOF PITCHES AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN. AND BLOCK F, LOT TWO, BLOCK D, LOT TWO AND BLOCK D, LOT ONE, WHICH ARE ALL THREE LOTS THAT ABUT STAR TRAIL. TO ME THOSE APPLY TO THAT
[00:10:05]
ORDINANCE. SO I JUST WOULD LIKE TO JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND, AND MAKE SURE WE'RE WE'RE APPLYING THAT PROPERLY THERE TOO AS WELL. ANOTHER ONE IS IN CHAPTER FOUR. SECTION 5.2 TALKS ABOUT TRASH AND RECYCLING COLLECTION. THAT SHOULD BE MINIMAL. MINIMIZED VISIBILITY.VISIBILITY. BLOCK D LOT TWO. THE ONLY ENTRANCE OFF OF ROUSSEAU INTO THAT DEVELOPMENT. AS YOU COME BACK BEHIND WHAT IS A PROFESSIONAL OFFICE BUILDING, YOU STARE RIGHT INTO THE OPENING OF A DUMPSTER. THAT DUMPSTER LOCATION IS, YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY A LITTLE BIT NOT NOT INCONSPICUOUS THERE. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO JUST CHECK AND I'M NOT SURE BECAUSE I IT WAS, YOU KNOW, IT WAS HARD TO READ THIS IN A PACKET WITHOUT JUST BLOWING IT UP AND LOOKING AT IT.
I JUST WANT US TO MAKE DOUBLE SURE FIRST BEFORE WE, YOU KNOW, APPROVE THIS PLAN. IS THAT THE PARKING SPACES, THE HEAD AND PARKING SPACES COMPLY WITH THE SIZE. I UNDERSTAND THEY CAN BE 18FT AND WITH A TWO FOOT OVERHANG, UNLESS IT'S OVERHUNG INTO A LANDSCAPING EASEMENT OR A SIDEWALK. SO I JUST WANT US TO CHECK THAT AND MAKE SURE WE'RE COMPLYING THERE AND THEN. THE ONLY OTHER CONCERN I HAVE IS, IS ABOUT OPEN SPACE. I CAN'T TELL ON HERE IF THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS ARE MET. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE LITTLE POCKET NEIGHBORHOOD IS PART OF THE RETAIL ZONING AS WELL. I DON'T SEE OPEN SPACE IN THAT PLAN. SO I JUST WANT US TO CHECK THAT AND MAKE SURE. AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION I HAVE REALLY PERTAINS TO THE ZONING ITSELF.
IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS AS RETAIL ZONING BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE PD IS WRITTEN, AND THEY'RE ALLOWED TO HAVE SOME SINGLE FAMILY, WHICH TO ME WOULD MEAN THAT ALL OF THE HOMES ON ROUSSEAU BACKING UP TO STAR TRAIL WOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A MASONRY WALL. IT SEEMS ODD TO CONSIDER IT AS RESIDENTIAL FOR SOME ORDINANCES, AND THEN CONSIDER IT AS RETAIL FOR OTHERS,OT SO I WANT IT TO BE CONSIDERED ALL AS RETAIL. AND IF SO, THE SETBACKS AND THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE BARRIERS, THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE, YOU KNOW, BE REQUIRED THE LANDSCAPE SETBACKS.
IF NOT. AND IT'S, IT'S REALLY RESIDENTIAL. THEN WE HAVE SOME ISSUES ON THE SETBACKS FOR THE RETAIL PORTION AGAINST THE HOMES. SO I YOU KNOW THERE'S SOME TO ME, THERE'S SOME SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ISSUES TO STILL WORK THROUGH BEFORE WE APPROVE THIS. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS MAKE A MOTION TO APPEAL THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING AND COMMISSION FOR THIS SITE. DEV APP 20 4-0083. THE PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN FOR PROSPER LEGACY BLOCKS D THROUGH F TO THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT FOR THE REASONS THAT I OUTLINED AND ANY OTHER DISCUSSION BY THE TOWN COUNCIL, AS REFERENCED IN SECTION 1.5 C4 OF CHAPTER FOUR OF THE TOWN ZONING ORDINANCE. OKAY, SO YOU'VE MADE A MOTION. AND SECOND, FROM CHRIS KERN. ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION. THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER MOTION ON THE REMAINING. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE REMAINING ON? THERE WASN'T ANYTHING. OKAY, SO.
I I'M GOOD. I JUST MAKING SURE YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO SAY ANYTHING. NO, NO, I MEAN I MEAN THE, THE I GET IT, THE ISSUES ARE COMPLEX. SO I THINK IT'S REALLY BETTER TO WORK THROUGH IT, YOU KNOW? I AGREE. OKAY. SORRY. THE TOWN MANAGER HAS ONE, ONE REQUEST. YES, SIR. COUNCIL MEMBER, YOU HAD SEVERAL ITEMS. CAN WE JUST GET THOSE? OH, SURE. IF YOU CAN EMAIL YOU IF YOU'LL EMAIL THOSE TO ME TOMORROW SO THAT WE HAVE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU READ OFF. SO WE'RE NOT MISSING ANYTHING. AND WE'LL WORK WITH, WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER. AND SO YOU DON'T THINK IF I COULD ADD SOMETHING. I'M SORRY. SO YOU DON'T THINK I WAS IGNORING YOU? I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE MISS PORTER IN THE BACK. SO SHE WAS TYPING DOWN ALL THESE THINGS YOU WERE SAYING. THAT'S WHY YOU DIDN'T SEE ME? NO. I KNOW IT WAS COMPLEX, AND I HAVE NOTES. I CAN SEND IT ALONG, SO.
YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK COUNCILWOMAN BARTLETT FOR HER EFFORT ON THAT
[CITIZEN COMMENTS]
PARTICULAR ITEM. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, OUR NEXT ITEM IS CITIZENS COMMENTS. THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ANY TOPIC. HOWEVER, THE COUNCIL IS UNABLE TO DISCUSS OR TAKE ACTION ON ANY TOPIC NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA. PLEASE COMPLETE A PUBLIC COMMENT REQUEST FORM AND PRESENT IT TO THE TOWN SECRETARY PRIOR TO THE MEETING. PLEASE LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES. IF MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS WISH TO SPEAK ON A TOPIC, THEY MAY YIELD THEIR THREE MINUTES TO ONE INDIVIDUAL APPOINTED TO SPEAK ON THEIR BEHALF. ALL INDIVIDUALS YIELDING THEIR TIME MUST BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, AND THE APPOINTED INDIVIDUAL WILL BE LIMITED TO A TOTAL OF 15 MINUTES. I DO HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT CARD. AND ALSO, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE BESIDES THIS ONE? MICHELLE? NOPE. MR. KENT ELLIOTT. YES, SIR. IF YOU WOULD MIND COMING UP TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU'LL GET THREE, THREE MINUTES.[00:15:03]
MY NAME IS KENT ELLIOTT. I LIVE AT 108 NORTH PARVIN STREET IN PROSPER, TEXAS. HAVE BEEN HERE FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS NOW. WHAT I'M HERE TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT IS THE NAMING OF A PARK THERE ON PARVIN AND BROADWAY. I UNDERSTAND THAT PARVIN HAS ALREADY BEEN PICKED FOR THE NAME OF THAT PARK. THE THING ABOUT IT IS, MY FATHER IN LAW, WHO LIVED HERE ALL OF HIS LIFE, REALLY WAS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT DID MANY THINGS, NOT JUST FOR THE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE TOWN. AND HE DID MOST A LOT OF IT, OR MOST OF IT FOR FREE, AND ALSO FOR THE CITY. HE DID MUCH WORK FOR THE CITY. I WAS TELLING SOMEONE A LITTLE WHILE AGO THAT I. I WORKED IN SOME JOBS WITH HIM. HIS NAME WAS JOE TEMPLIN AND HE LIVED ON SEVENTH AND CHURCH STREET. HE STILL HAS THREE DAUGHTERS THAT LIVE HERE IN TOWN AND A SISTER THAT LIVES HERE. AND I THINK BECAUSE OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HE DID FOR THE CITY AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN, THAT IT MIGHT BE A VERY NICE THING TO BE ABLE TO NAME THIS PARK AFTER HIM. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE PARKS BOARD IS HERE TODAY, SO THEY HEARD YOUR COMMENTS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK[11. Conduct a public hearing and consider and act upon a request for a Planned Development for an existing Professional Office on Bryant’s First Addition, Block 15, Lot 1R, on 0.6± acre, to accommodate a right-of-way acquisition along First Street, located on the northeast corner of Coleman Street and First Street. (ZONE-24-0026) (DH)]
DURING CITIZENS COMMENTS? SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.51.001 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL FOR ITEMS LISTED AS PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL BE RECOGNIZED WHEN THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN. OUR AGENDA, ITEM NUMBER 11, IS TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A REQUEST FOR A PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR AN EXISTING PROFESSIONAL OFFICE. ON BRYANT'S FIRST EDITION BLOCK 15, LOT ONE ON APPROXIMATELY 0.6 ACRES TO ACCOMMODATE A RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION ALONG FIRST STREET, LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF COLEMAN AND FIRST STREET. MR. HOOVER. THANK YOU. HELLO AGAIN EVERYBODY. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE SITE IS. IT'S AN OFFICE BUILDING THAT'S ON THAT CORNER. AND AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, WE'VE GOT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT WILL BE UPCOMING ON BOTH FIRST STREET AND COLEMAN. AND THOSE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT A DIFFICULTY HEARING YOU, DAVID. YEAH, IT'S REAL LOW. THANK YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? YES, SIR. YES, SIR.OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ON BOTH COLEMAN AND FIRST STREET THAT WILL BE COMING ABOUT HERE IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. BOTH OF THOSE WILL NEED RIGHT OF WAY.
THIS PARTICULAR INTERSECTION WILL HAVE A ROUNDABOUT. SO THE RIGHT OF WAY THERE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN TYPICAL RIGHT OF WAY IN A NORMAL INTERSECTION. AND AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, IT'S GOING TO CAUSE THIS LOT TO HAVE A COUPLE OF NON-CONFORMITIES, PRIMARILY WITH FRONTAGE ON COLEMAN AND FRONTAGE ON FIRST. AS FAR AS THE LANDSCAPING BUFFER AREAS. AND SO SKIP A LOT OF THESE THINGS AND JUST KIND OF GET TO THE POINT. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS A SITE PLAN OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW. AND THIS IS A DEPICTION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE SITE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE, THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE ROUNDABOUT.
EXCUSE ME, WORK, SO TO SPEAK. AND SO WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED? IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED DOWNTOWN OFFICE DITO. AND WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED IS TO TURN IT INTO A PD DISTRICT. THE SAME DITO ZONING USES AND VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING THE SAME WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FRONT SETBACK ON COLEMAN STREET AND THEN THE SIDE SETBACK ON FIRST STREET. THE DISTRICT REGULATIONS FOR THE DTOS 25FT ON COLEMAN AND 15 ON FIRST, AND THE REQUEST IS TO CHANGE BOTH OF THOSE TO FIVE FEET. THE OTHERS REMAIN THE SAME, THE OTHER THE CURRENT SETBACKS AND WHAT WOULD BE PROPOSED IN THE PD. AND THAT'S TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, THAT TAKING AND TO ELIMINATE THE LOT BECOMING NONCONFORMING. BECAUSE NONCONFORMING HAS ISSUES THAT THAT GO WITH IT. SOMETIMES THEY NEVER COME UP AND IT DOESN'T MATTER. SOMETIMES THEY BECOME A BIG DEAL. AND MOST OF THE TIME YOU DON'T FIND THOSE OUT TILL 10 OR 15 YEARS FROM NOW WHEN NOBODY IS THE SAME THAT KNOWS WHAT WAS GOING ON. SO THIS IS A WAY TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING. ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS, THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS OR WHERE THAT RIGHT OF WAY IS COMING FROM. SO THOSE WILL BE REDUCED. AND EVERYTHING ELSE, LIKE I SAID IS THE SAME. WE SENT NOTICES OUT ON FRIDAY, JANUARY THE 10TH TO
[00:20:02]
PROPERTY OWNERS DIDN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING BACK. PLANNING COMMISSION HEARD THIS AT THEIR LAST MEETING AND RECOMMENDED IT BE APPROVED. 7 TO 0, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. THE APPLICANT IS HERE. OH, ONE OTHER THING I FORGOT TO MENTION. I'M SORRY. IN YOUR PACKETS, THERE IS A DRAFT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS DONE PREVIOUS TO SOME DISCUSSIONS TAKING PLACE LAST WEEK, AND FINALIZING ALL OF THIS PAPERWORK TO GET IT INTO THE AGENDAS, TO GET IT ON THE AGENDA FOR LAST WEEK'S P AND Z AND TONIGHT'S MEETING. WE'RE NOT GOING TO NEED THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BECAUSE WE'RE LEAVING THE USES AS THE DTO. AND THE ONLY THING WE'RE CHANGING ARE THE TWO SETBACKS. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S NOT JUST SO EVERYBODY'S CLEAR. IT WAS ONLY A DRAFT TO Y'ALL TO LOOK AT TO KNOW WE WERE WORKING ON IT. BUT IT'S NOT PART OF WHAT THE REQUIRED VOTE IS FOR. IT'S JUST THE PD ITSELF.AND AGAIN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. YEAH I DO HAVE ONE DAVID ACTUALLY. SO IF THIS WERE TO NOT PASS RIGHT THEN IT WOULD BE WHAT? I'M SORRY IF WE DID NOT PASS THIS RIGHT OKAY. IT WOULD BE NON-CONFORMING. RIGHT. AND THERE'S A RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION. WOULD THAT STILL TAKE PLACE? WELL, THE RIGHT OF WAY ACT WAS THIS. EXCUSE ME.
ACQUISITION WAS ACTUALLY IT'S DONE THROUGH THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS AND SO HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT WAS THE NEGOTIATIONS THAT THAT WENT ON. AND WE NEED THE RIGHT OF WAY. SO WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A FRIENDLY RIGHT OF WAY EXCHANGE OR IT WINDS UP BEING AN EMINENT DOMAIN EXCHANGE IS SOMETHING I'M NOT A PART OF. AS FAR AS THAT ANSWER, MAYBE THE EITHER THE ATTORNEY OR MR. WEBB COULD TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT WHAT I OR HE COULD SPEAK TO IT. MR. MORE HE'S A PROPERTY OWNER. SO OKAY. IF YOU HAVE THAT THAT SPECIFIC QUESTION, BUT WE GO IN SOMEPLACE ELSE WITH THAT. OR WAS THAT WHAT YOU WERE CURIOUS? WELL, JUST I WAS CURIOUS THAT IF IT ALSO DID NOT TAKE PLACE AND THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION HAPPENED AND THEN THEY WERE NONCONFORMING, IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT THAT FINES WOULD BE ISSUED BECAUSE IT WAS NONCONFORMING, OR ARE THAT JUST IT WOULD JUST BE NONCONFORMING AND LEFT ALONE? OR WHAT HAPPENS WITH NONCONFORMITIES IS TYPICALLY YOU CAN'T DO THINGS THAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY DO. YOU CAN'T GET BUILDING PERMITS. YOU CAN'T IF IT'S DAMAGED MORE THAN 50% BY FIRES, FLOODS, WHATEVER, WHICH ARE YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT NONETHELESS, THEY DO HAPPEN. IF IT'S MORE THAN 50%, THEN YOU CAN'T PUT IT BACK LIKE IT IS. SO THE BUILDING WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE SMALLER TO ACCOMMODATE THE TAKING THAT WAS DONE. THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS WOULD STAY THE SAME WITH THE DTO WITHOUT THE PD. SO THERE'S JUST THINGS THAT THAT POTENTIALLY WOULD CAUSE PROBLEMS. LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW THEY MAY NEVER HAPPEN, BUT BUT USUALLY WHEN THEY DO IT'S A WHILE DOWN THE ROAD. SO IT'S WE TRY AND KEEP FROM WE CAN'T CREATE NONCONFORMITIES FOR ONE THING.
SO IF WE'RE DOING PLATTING OR SUBDIVIDING PROPERTY OR DOING THINGS LIKE THAT, WE CAN'T CREATE SOMETHING THAT'S A NONCONFORMITY. AND SO BY DOING THE TAKING, WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY CREATING IT IN THE SENSE OF LAYING IT OUT AS A FULL PLAT, BUT WE ARE CREATING NONCONFORMITY BY REMOVING THE LAND FROM THE SITE THAT CURRENTLY IS CONFORMING. SO IT'S JUST AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT FUTURE PROBLEMS. OKAY, OKAY. THANKS. DO YOU WANT SOME MORE EXPLAINING? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO ADD, THAT'D BE GREAT. YEAH. GOOD EVENING.
COUNCIL MATT MOORE, 301 SOUTH COLEMAN HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF HAVEY COLEMAN I'M THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING. AGAIN ALL I AM TRYING TO DO IS PROTECT THE INVESTMENT THAT I MADE IN THE TOWN. THE NONCONFORMITIES DO NOT ALLOW ME TO BUILD BACK WHAT I HAVE TODAY UNLESS THESE SETBACKS ARE CHANGED. SO I HAVE COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE TOWN ON RIGHT OF WAY. AS A RESULT OF THAT, I HAVE TO AMEND THESE SETBACKS SO THAT I CAN BUILD BACK EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE THERE TODAY. THAT'S ALL I'M LOOKING FOR. OKAY? THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, NOTHING MORE. THIS IS ME TRYING TO WORK WITH THE TOWN TO FACILITATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT ROUNDABOUT. IT'S NOT IDEAL FOR ME TO LOSE THE PROPERTY AND HAVE A, YOU KNOW, ROUNDABOUT TEN FEET OUTSIDE MY WINDOW. BUT, YOU KNOW, HERE WE ARE. AND SO I'M TRYING TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT AND JUST TRYING TO PROTECT THE INVESTMENT I MADE IN THE TOWN AND BE ABLE TO BUILD BACK EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE THERE TODAY.
[00:25:04]
GOTCHA. OKAY. THANKS, MATT. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL MIGHT HAVE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MATT? NO. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. THIS ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, MISTER BUSTER, DID YOU WANT TO STEP FORWARD WITH YOUR ACCOMPANYING HELP JUST TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM AND JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.PLEASE. MY NAME IS HARPER. WHAT DO YOU LIVE IN TEXAS AND 45 60FT LONG DRIVE, 4560 PAINT ROCK DRIVE. I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU'RE IN SUPPORT OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNSELOR. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? DON'T MAKE A MOTION. MAKE A MOTION? YEAH. OKAY. MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER KERN, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM RAY. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANKS, MATT. APPRECIATE
[12. Presentation of the 2025 Parks and Recreation Open Space Master Plan. (DB)]
IT. ALL RIGHT, NOW, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12 IS PRESENTATION OF THE 2025 PARKS AND RECREATION OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN, MR. DAN BAKER. MAYOR COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO PRESENT THE 2025 PARKS RECREATION OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN TO YOU THIS EVENING. THIS PLAN WILL PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE TOWN'S PARK FACILITIES, THE USERS AND WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN OUR FACILITIES AND SYSTEM. A COMPARISON TO NATIONAL STANDARDS AND TO SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES AROUND US, AND POTENTIALLY HOW WE COULD IMPLEMENT THIS PLAN. THIS PLAN WAS PRESENTED TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD AT LAST WEEK AT THEIR LAST MEETING, AND IT WAS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU TO APPROVE THIS TONIGHT. WE ARE SEEKING FEEDBACK. WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS GET YOUR FEEDBACK, TAKE THAT BACK, COMPLETE THE PLAN AND THEN PRESENT TO YOU AT A FUTURE MEETING. IF YOU WOULD BE OKAY WITH THAT. IF THERE'S NO IMMEDIATE QUESTIONS FOR ME RIGHT NOW, I'D LIKE TO BRING PHILLIP NEELY WITH DUNAWAY ASSOCIATES. THEY'RE OUR CONSULTANT WITH THE PLAN, AND PHILLIP HAS A PRESENTATION HE'D LIKE TO SHARE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR DAN? NOPE.
THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. PHILLIP NEELY DUNAWAY ASSOCIATES, 550 BAILEY AVENUE, FORT WORTH, TEXAS. GREAT TO BE HERE AGAIN. A LOT OF YEARS OF GETTING TO WORK WITH YOUR COMMUNITY. CRAIG. WE REMEMBER WHEN WE DID THE LAST PLAN TEN YEARS AGO, ALMOST. IT WAS ADOPTED SEPTEMBER OF 2015. SO I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEE A LOT OF PROGRESS, NOT JUST IN YOUR COMMUNITY BUT IN THE PARK SYSTEM. SO OUR OUR TEAM AS A WHOLE HAS REALLY ENJOYED THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE IN SUCH A MOVING TARGET REALLY IN TERMS OF MONTH BY MONTH, YEAR BY YEAR. BUT I REALLY WANT TO EXPRESS THANKS TO DAN AND KURT, ROBIN WAS IN ON IT SEVERAL TIMES. AND THEN THERE'S A FEW FROM MY ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND PARK BOARD. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THEM. IT'S GREAT. WE DON'T ALWAYS GET TO HAVE AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE SEEING INCREMENTAL PROGRESS AND THEY CAN REACT AND THEN THEY CAN TALK ABOUT IT, OR THEY MAY REPRESENT CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF TOWN OR CERTAIN GROUPS STAKEHOLDERS. SO THAT WAS THAT WAS GREAT. I'LL TRY TO MOVE ALONG HERE. WHO'S DO I ADVANCE THE SLIDE OR SOME OKAY. OKAY. HERE HE GOES. THIS PROJECT HAS GONE ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IT'S NORMAL. AND THE STEPS WERE VERY FLUID. I WOULD SAY THEY DID GREAT AGAIN. DAN AND KURT REALLY ADVANCING THE STEPS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. WE DID SOME THINGS. THIS TIME. I'M GOING TO NOTE THAT WE'RE EVEN MORE THAN YOU HAD TEN YEARS AGO. I LOOK BACK, YOUR PLAN TEN YEARS AGO WAS 15,400 POPULATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU'RE A MOVING TARGET. THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU ARE NOW. SO WE FIRST GOT COMPLETE NEW INVENTORY SO THAT WE WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE, WHAT YOU'RE OFFERING. AND OF COURSE THIS INFORMATION IS GREAT TO PUT ON YOUR WEBSITE. IN DOING THIS WE ALSO GOT TO SEE ALL THE PARCELS THAT YOU NOW HAVE. AND YOU GOT YOU GOT A LOT OF A FUTURE PARK SYSTEM TO BUILD. SO BEING VERY STRATEGIC AND CAREFUL AND THINKING THAT THROUGH IS A PART OF WHAT A MASTER PLAN DOES FOR YOU. BUT AGAIN THERE'S LANDS AND HOLDINGS THAT YOU HAVE THAT ARE SOME OF THEM ARE ALREADY IN PROGRESS. SOME OF THEM ARE YET TO COME. WE LOOKED AT SOME OF THE QUICK OVERLAP OF POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS. ROBIN HAD US INTERFACE WITH THE LIBRARY MASTER PLAN TEAM, SO WE TRIED TO JUST SHARE INFORMATION AND LOOK AT THAT AND JUST LOOK AT THE TYPES OF CUSTOMERS THAT YOU HAVE CURRENTLY. BUT WHERE WILL THAT
[00:30:03]
BE IN TWO YEARS, FIVE YEARS, SEVEN YEARS OR TEN YEARS? SO THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT STEP FOR US STANDARDS ANALYSIS. IT'S GOOD TO LOOK AT THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF PARKS. WHAT WOULD BE TRADITIONALLY WHAT ARE THEY THERE FOR. AND NEIGHBORHOOD PARK IS NOT WHERE YOU PUT A FOURPLEX, RIGHT. IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH. YOU DON'T PUT A BALL FIELD COMPLEX. AND THERE ARE OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT THAT CERTAIN CLASSIFICATIONS WE LOOKED AT THAT YOU'RE STILL DOING, AS I'VE SAID, GREAT ON LAND ACQUISITION OR LAND IN TERMS OF TOTAL COUNT OF ACREAGE, YOU'RE AHEAD OF THE CURVE. THROUGH MY CAREER, I'VE WORKED IN COMMUNITIES WHERE THE COMMUNITY GETS BEHIND AND IT'S HARD TO CATCH UP, BUT YOU'RE DOING YOU'RE DOING GREAT WITH YOUR EAST WEST EXTENSION. SO THE STANDARDS IS A WAY TO LOOK AT BOTH LAND AND FACILITY TYPES, MEANING BALL FIELDS AND TRAIL MILES AND PLAYGROUNDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BENCHMARKING. WE DID NOT DO THIS TEN YEARS AGO. ONE OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS IS PROS CONSULTING. THEY'RE ONE OF THE TOPS IN THE NATION WITH STRATEGIC PLANS OF WORKING WITH PARK SYSTEMS. WE HAD BRIAN TRUSTY WITH US. SO IN BENCHMARKING AGAIN, YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO COPY ANYBODY. YOU'RE JUST LOOKING IN OUR REGION AT THE TYPES OF METRICS THAT OTHER COMMUNITIES WOULD HAVE. AND CANDIDLY, I WAS VERY IMPRESSED HOW WELL YOU'RE DOING ON TRAIL MILES PER THOUSAND. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS ALONG THE WAY THAT ARE NEAT TO LOOK AT. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS NOT TRYING TO FORCE YOU INTO ANY DECISION. IT LETS YOU SEE THE WAY YOUR COMMUNITY IS LAID OUT, WHERE YOU'RE ALREADY ADVANCING THINGS, AND MAYBE WHERE OTHER COMMUNITIES DO CERTAIN THINGS BECAUSE OF THE LAY OF THE LAND OR NATURAL RESOURCES. BUT BENCHMARKING WAS WAS GOOD. WE ALSO DID REC PROGRAMING AGAIN, PROGRAMS. WHAT PEOPLE PARTICIPATE IN DRIVE FACILITIES. AND SO WE DID NOT DO THIS TEN YEARS AGO. PROS CONSULTING LED THIS WORKED WITH TREVOR AND OTHERS ON LOOKING AT WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW IN THE PROGRAMING WORLD. I WOULD SAY YOU'RE STILL IN THE EARLY DAYS. THERE'S SO MUCH AHEAD FOR YOU IN PROGRAMING. YOU'VE GOT 38 DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, BUT YOU HAVE 11 OF THEM OR CORE PROGRAMS. YOU'RE DOING REALLY WELL. BUT WHEN I SAY WHAT'S AHEAD, YOU DON'T. AS WE KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE A MAJOR INDOOR FACILITY THAT WILL COME. BUT IN IN TRYING TO STAY UP WITH THINGS, YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSITIONED TO DO THAT. SO PROGRAMING WAS A WAS A GOOD STEP FOR THE TEAM NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THIS IS THE BIGGEST TASK. ARGUABLY IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE GET TO INTERACT WITH YOUR COMMUNITY. WE HAD ACROSS CATTY CORNER FROM HERE FROM HERE LAST MARCH WE HAD TWO FOCUS GROUP MEETINGS, ROUGHLY 10 TO 20 SOMEWHERE IN THAT NUMBER IN THE GROUP. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL QUALITATIVE INPUT. WHAT WHAT ARE THE WHAT ARE THE THEMES? WHAT WOULD THEY REPRESENT? NOT QUANTITATIVE BUT QUALITATIVE. AND WE WOULD HEAR FROM THEM ON THAT. THAT HELPED US REFINE A SURVEY INSTRUMENT.SURVEY INSTRUMENT WENT OUT IN APRIL, SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET THAT OUT TO YOUR COMMUNITY BEFORE SCHOOL ENDED THAT I EMPHASIZE THAT BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN THEY GO OUT IN THE SUMMER, YOU JUST DON'T GET THE SAME RESPONSE RATE. SO IT WAS GREAT. AGAIN, THE STAFF WAS AWESOME AND KEEPING THINGS MOVING. SO THE SURVEY WAS OPEN FOR ABOUT FIVE WEEKS AND YOU HAD OVER 1500 RESPONSES. THAT'S AN AMAZING PERCENTAGE RELATIVE TO THE SIZE OF YOUR COMMUNITY. I'VE BEEN IN COMMUNITIES TWICE THIS SIZE AND THEY MIGHT HAVE 800. SO THE RESPONSES WERE THOROUGH. THEY WERE GOOD. THEY GIVE YOU A GOOD READ. AGAIN, IF I'M NOT, YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE SLEEPING. YOU COULD GET THE CROSSTABS AND YOU COULD GO THROUGH THAT AND ENJOY IT AND IT'LL HELP YOU CALM DOWN, MAYBE ENJOY THAT. BUT A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK. WE LOOK AT IT AT THE MACRO LEVEL, BUT YOU CAN DRILL DOWN TO THE MICRO LEVEL. WE HAD GOOD BALANCE ACROSS THE COMMUNITY. SO FROM THAT, WHEN WE'RE DOING THAT KIND OF SURVEY INSTRUMENT, THAT GIVES US THE QUALITATIVE, I'M SORRY, QUANTITATIVE PRIORITIES. AND WE TAKE THAT THROUGH A PROCESS WHERE WE USE THE CITIZEN.
FEEDBACK IS THE TOP VALUED PIECE OF INPUT. STAFF DOES SOME RANKINGS. WE HAD THE PARK BOARD DO THEIR OWN RANKINGS. AND THEN WE AS A DUNAWAY TEAM DID THAT TOO. BUT AGAIN, THE COMMUNITY INPUT WAS BY FAR THE HIGHEST RATED. SO THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE TRYING TO LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE ITEMS THAT COME TO THE TOP. I LAUGHINGLY SAY OFTEN EVERYBODY WANTS EVERYTHING. IF YOU JUST LET THEM SAY, HEY, YEAH, WE'LL TAKE WE'LL TAKE ALL 19 ITEMS. AND EVENTUALLY IN THE SURVEY, WE FORCE THE ISSUE TO MAKE THEM RANK THEIR TOP ITEMS. IF YOU CAN ONLY PICK, YOU KNOW, THE TOP THREE. SO THE INSTRUMENT THAT WE USE HAS BEEN PROVEN ACROSS THE REGION ACROSS THE STATE. IT'S GOOD FEEDBACK. THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT CAME OUT HIGHER, MODERATE AND LOWER. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE AND GIVE DAN CREDIT. HE HAD SAID EARLY ON, I THINK ROBIN WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS TOO. THEY WANTED SOME QUESTIONS THAT DEAL WITH FUTURE. WHAT KIND OF INDOOR ACTIVITIES ARE PREFERRED? WE WERE NOT DOING A PHYSICAL STUDY, A FEASIBILITY. WE WERE LOOKING AT ACTIVITY TYPES. SO THERE WERE SOME STANDALONE QUESTIONS THAT DEALT WITH INDOOR RECREATION. AND THESE WERE THE TOP TEN ITEMS. SO AGAIN THIS WAS IMPORTANT. THE SURVEY LAST TIME DID NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF DETAIL. SO GOOD INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP YOU GOING FORWARD. IT'S NOT TRYING
[00:35:02]
TO DESIGN ANYTHING. IT'S JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT ARE THE ITEMS THAT YOUR COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE INDOORS. NOW, THESE ARE THE TOP 5 OR 6 ITEMS THAT I REFERENCED ON TWO SLIDES AGO, WHERE YOUR TOP TWO DEALT WITH TRAILS, TRAILS WITHIN WHAT I CALL LOCALIZED CONNECTIONS.NEIGHBORHOOD TO A SCHOOL, NEIGHBORHOOD TO NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEN TRAILS THAT CONNECT YOU MORE LONGER TERM OR IN MORE OF AN EXTENSION WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY. YOU'RE DOING WELL. I THINK YOUR DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS ARE HELPING YOU. Y'ALL ARE REALLY HOLDING THE LINE THERE.
BUT SO TRAILS WERE BIG. THE NUMBER THREE ITEM WAS A MULTI-GENERATION REC CENTER. IT WAS BIG TEN YEARS AGO. AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE TO SEE THAT THE PUBLIC IS EAGER FOR THAT. I'VE SEEN THIS A LOT THROUGH MY CAREER, ESPECIALLY IN GROWTH COMMUNITIES. BUT SO THE MULTI GENE CENTER THEN SHADE THE PARKS PLAYGROUNDS HAS BECOME VERY HIGH IN RECENT PROJECTS WE'RE WORKING ON TO KEEP THE UV PROTECTION AND KIDS AND FAMILIES PICNIC AREAS AND PAVILIONS AND EVEN OPEN SPACE AND NATURAL AREAS IN THE TOP SIX. SO YOU'LL HAVE CERTAIN POCKETS OF SOME OF YOUR FUTURE LAND HOLDINGS. DEFINITELY HAVE NATURAL AREAS, AND AS YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE GOING FORWARD, IT'LL TIE BACK TO THESE PRIORITIES. SO WE TAKE THOSE KINDS OF PRIORITIES, WHICH YOU SEE ON THE LEFT. THESE WOULD BE THE HIGHER SEVEN. AND WE TRY TO GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE PARK IN THE SYSTEM. AND WHERE WOULD THAT HAPPEN. THAT'S AN UPDATE OR WOULD BE NEW. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT THERE. TRY TO BE REALISTIC, NOT OVER PROGRAM IT AND GET TOO CARRIED AWAY. STAFF WAS A GREAT HELP ON THIS AND I WILL EMPHASIZE JUST BECAUSE THIS IS HIGHER THAN THE NEXT ONE MODERATE AND THE LAST ONE SAYS LOWER, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT ITEM 14 OR 17 COULDN'T HAPPEN MORE QUICKLY. SOMETIMES AN INITIATIVE COMES UP IN YOUR COMMUNITY OR A PARTNER OR ANOTHER FUNDING SOURCE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE ABLE TO BRING AN ITEM FORWARD. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO DO ONE, THEN TWO AND THREE. THESE JUST LET YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CITIZENS AND WHAT THE OTHER INPUT HAS SAID WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO TRY TO STAY UP ON IT. HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE. MODERATE PRIORITIES. YOU CAN SEE THERE THERE'S SIX OF THOSE. AGAIN, THE CHECK BOXES AGAIN WITH STAFF. WE WERE JUST TRYING TO THINK WHERE COULD THOSE HAPPEN. WE CAN'T HAVE 18 CHECK MARKS. IT'S NOT REALISTIC FOR SPRAY GROUNDS. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE 18 SPRAY GROUNDS.
BUT THINKING ABOUT HOW THOSE WORK WITHIN THE TOTAL SYSTEM AND WHERE THE CITIZEN TYPE DEMOGRAPHICS ARE. AND THEN LASTLY WHAT WE CALL LOWER. BUT AGAIN, SOME OF THESE LIKE A SOFT SURFACE TRAILS MAY HAPPEN MORE QUICKLY. EVEN DISC GOLF COULD HAPPEN IN DIFFERENT WAYS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A HIGH CAPITAL COST. AND THERE'S GROUPS THAT LIKE TO SEE THAT COME FORTH AND YOU CAN PARTNER WITH THEM. THEY CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE THAT. TRY NOT TO GET TOO LONG WINDED HERE. SO YOU SEE YOU SEE THE FLOW. THEN FROM THIS ON THE LEFT, HIGH, MODERATE AND LOW, WE TRY TO TIE THOSE INTO A RANGE OF FUNDING SOURCES. THESE ARE GOOD. THESE ARE GOOD RANGE SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE ONES THAT YOU HAD FROM TEN YEARS AGO. THERE MAY BE A FEW OTHERS THAT ARE NEW. THESE ARE THE TYPES OF FUNDING SOURCES BEYOND JUST GENERAL FUND THAT HELP YOU THINK CREATIVELY. IT IS PHENOMENAL WHAT CITIES AND OUR STATE AND AROUND THE COUNTRY DO THAT THEY MAXIMIZE THEIR DOLLARS. IT'S INCREDIBLE. AND THE CONSULTANT WE ARE WORKING WITH, PROS CONSULTING, HAS SOME REALLY GREAT STORIES ABOUT THAT. SO ANYWAY, THE STAFF CAN USE THESE. THESE WILL HELP BUILD ANNUAL CAPITAL PLANS. AND I AS I SAY WHEN YOU WORK WITH THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS, PARTICULARLY ENGINEERING SIDE ON INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU THINK HOLISTICALLY. YOU WORK TOGETHER ON HOW YOU'RE DOING INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE ENGINEERING SIDE AND HOW PARK AND REC, WHETHER IT BE A TRAIL OR A CROSSING OR MONUMENT SIGNS OR TRAILHEADS, WHATEVER. BUT IT'S GREAT TO SEE THOSE DEPARTMENTS COLLABORATE. AND WITH THIS KIND OF AN OUTLINE THAT HAPPENS AND IT CAN IT CAN HELP BE RESOURCEFUL WITH EACH DOLLAR. SO EVENTUALLY, HOPEFULLY SOON, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ADOPT. THIS PARK BOARD HAS BEEN GETTING UPDATES ALONG THE WAY. OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE HAD WE WOULD BE WITH THEM ABOUT EVERY 2 TO 3 MONTHS AND GOT GOOD FEEDBACK. SO ONCE YOU APPROVE IT, IT'LL GO DOWN TO THE STATE, TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE BECAUSE IT'S GOOD TO KEEP IT ON FILE THERE. IT'S NOT A HARD PROCESS. IF FUTURE GRANT PROGRAMS THAT YOU MAY PICK UP SOMETHING AS YOU'RE GROWING, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU'RE NEW AND YOU HAVE NEW LANDS AND ALL, YOU CAN SCORE PRETTY STRONG IN CERTAIN CATEGORIES. YOU JUST HAVE TO THINK THAT THROUGH. BUT SO THE PLAN WOULD BE SENT DOWN TO THE STATE. SO I'LL LET DAN FINISH THIS UP. SO ONE ITEM THAT WE KNOW IS OF INTEREST IT WOULD BE A POTENTIAL RECREATION CENTER. SO JUST TO BE TOTALLY TRANSPARENT, THE STUDY WE JUST DID WAS NOT A REC CENTER STUDY. RIGHT. IT WAS AN OVER A BROAD DEPARTMENT STUDY WHERE THERE WAS A SMALL COMPONENT THAT TALKS ABOUT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A RECREATION CENTER, BUT AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL. SO STAFF DID A LITTLE BIT OFIT ADDITIONAL WORKN THE EVENT YOU HAD QUESTIONS ON POTENTIAL COSTS AND SIZES AND ALL THOSE THINGS. SO WE REACHED
[00:40:06]
OUT WITH ROBIN'S HELP. ROBIN WAS A BIG PART OF THIS TOO, AND JUST REACHED OUT TO THESE DIFFERENT FACILITIES WHERE WE KNEW THEY WERE FAIRLY NEW TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND SQUARE FOOT COST, WHETHER THEY DID AN AQUATICS ELEMENT TO IT OR NOT. SO WE WANTED TO PROVIDE THIS TO YOU SO YOU COULD JUST KIND OF SEE WHAT'S THE CURRENT COST TO DO ONE OF THESE IN TODAY'S DOLLARS.AND THEN PEAK PROGRAM VALUE. CHRIS WAS HERE TONIGHT. HE HELPED US PUT TOGETHER SOME, I GUESS, CONCEPTUAL COSTS. WHAT WHAT A FACILITY ON DIFFERENT SIZES, DIFFERENT AMENITIES, WHAT THAT MIGHT COST IN TODAY'S DOLLARS. JUST KNOWING WE'VE GOT A BOND PROGRAM COMING UP. THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR ONE OF THOSE ITEMS. IT OBVIOUSLY SCORED VERY HIGH FROM A CITIZEN REQUEST. SO WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAD THIS INFORMATION AS WELL. SO WE COULD CERTAINLY BE HAPPY TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT THAT IF YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS. BUT THAT REALLY FINISHES THE PRESENTATION SO FAR AWAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU DAN. YEAH THANK YOU TO THE PARKS BOARD. THANK YOU TO THE PARKS ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND OUR CONSULTANT FOR ALL THE WORK THAT WAS PUT IN ON THIS IS A PRETTY EXTENSIVE DOCUMENT. IT IS. I SPENT SOME SQUINTED EYEBALLS FOR A WHILE READING THROUGH A LOT OF IT. SO I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DID TAKE OUT OF IT, I THINK IT WAS MENTIONED ALREADY, WE'RE ACTUALLY IN MOST OF THE CATEGORIES IN TERMS OF THE LAND.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE LAND THAT WE PRETTY MUCH WOULD NEED WITH SOME SECTIONS OF WHERE, WHETHER THEY'RE POCKET PARKS OR THEY'RE THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WHICH, WHICH IS VERY ENCOURAGING. SO THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD START. THE NOW WE NEED TO GET THE FACILITIES AND THE PROGRAMING AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF ON THERE. I DO HAVE A QUESTION ON THE JUST ON THE SURVEY, THE 1500 RESPONSES, WERE THEY TARGETED TO SAY THESE ARE ALL PROSPER RESIDENTS? WAS THERE ANY KIND OF IDENTIFYING INFORMATION ON THAT? THESE WERE ALL IN PHILIP, I MAY ASK. THESE WERE I KNOW WE TARGETED BECAUSE IT WAS AN ONLINE SURVEY SO THEY COULD GO, SOMEONE ELSE COULD GO IN. AND THERE WAS, I BELIEVE THERE WAS A ZIP CODE COMPONENT TO THAT. SO WE COULD VALIDATE OR VALIDATE THAT TO. WE ALSO HAD WE MAILED OUT TO 7000 OKAY. SO WE DID RANDOMLY CHOOSE 7000 HOUSEHOLDS IN PROSPER THAT WE MAILED A SURVEY OUT TO AS WELL. OKAY. COOL. AND THEN WELL I'LL LET THE REST OF THE COUNCIL I'VE GOT JUST A SPECIFIC QUESTION LATER ON. AGAIN VERY DETAILED SPECIFIC I WOULD LOVE TO SAY. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO BUILD US A REC CENTER OUT OF THIS NEXT BOND FUND. BUT THE LIBRARY I SEE THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR THERE. HE GETS 70 MILLION. YOU GUYS WANT 70 MILLION? THAT'S THE WHOLE BOND FUND ALREADY. SO. BUT IF NO ROADS, YOU CAN'T GET THERE EITHER ONE. BUT. YEAH, WELL, LET ME JUST. AND NOT TO INTERRUPT YOU. I KNOW AND WE KNOW THERE'S, THERE'S, THERE'S A LIMIT TO WHAT WE CAN DO. SO WHAT WE ARE TARGETING WITH THESE NUMBERS IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE EXPANDABLE OR PHASE FEASIBLE. SO WE WOULD IF YOU TELL US TO GO AND START THE DESIGN, OR THE COMMUNITY TELLS US TO START AND DO THE DESIGN, WE WOULD SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT MAKING SURE IF IT WAS, HOWEVER, WE DESIGNED THIS BUILDING, THAT IT WOULDN'T BE DEVASTATING TO ADD ON ANOTHER GYM OR A POOL OR WHATEVER WAS NEEDED. SO WE WOULD PLAN THAT PURPOSEFULLY. OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT. I'LL START WITH MAYOR PRO TEM. YEAH, I'LL ECHO MAYOR'S COMMENTS. I STARTED READING AND I WISH TO HAVE THE TWO. AND YOU KNOW, THERE ARE 200 PLUS PAGES EACH TO TRY TO COMPARE AND DRAW THE COMPARISONS AND CONTRAST. I'M GLAD TO HAVE THE UPDATED PROPOSAL TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AND CONSIDER 1500 TO THE 43 44,000. YEAH, I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THEM IF THEY'RE ALL PROSPER, BECAUSE THAT'S 3% AND THERE'S A LOT TO DIG IN HERE. SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT HAVING A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME THAN FROM FRIDAY TO NOW TO DO SO. AND YEAH, I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY MORE TOPICS AND CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS TO COME.
YEAH. SO LET ME JUST CLARIFY. SO COUNCIL IS GOING TO TAKE THIS BACK. WE'VE SEEN IT. WE'VE SEEN THE PRESENTATION. EXPECTATION IS NOW WE FORWARD OUR ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON FOR CLARIFICATION AT A LATER POINT. YEAH. SIMILAR TO THE SIMILAR TO THE LAST MEETING WHEN THE LIBRARY WHEN THE LIBRARY PRESENTED ITS MASTER PLAN RECEIVED SOME COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL AND THOSE WERE FORWARDED ON TO MR. LANDDECK, THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR. AND SO AGAIN, JUST THERE'S NO EXPECTATION THAT YOU ALL HAVE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS LINED UP TONIGHT AND HAVE EVERYTHING READY TO GO. IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU, PRESENT. THE FINDINGS ALLOW YOU TO DWELL ON IT A LITTLE BIT.
[00:45:05]
AND THEN IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, MODIFICATIONS TO THE MASTER PLAN, PLEASE SEND THOSE TO ME SO THAT STAFF CAN WORK WITH MR. NEELY TO GET THOSE COMPLETED AND BRING YOU BACK THE DOCUMENT THAT THAT IS THE HOPEFULLY THE FINAL VERSION SO THAT YOU CAN ADOPT IT, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH WITH LIBRARY AND WITH THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR AND THE CONSULTANTS IS DOING THAT VERY THING. YEAH. I'D LIKE TO KNOW TOO. ARE THERE ANY CORE THOUGHTS FROM THE PARKS AND REC BOARD AND THINGS THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO SURFACE TO THE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION, AND NOW THEY'RE HERE. SO I WANT TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY THEY PUT IN THE WORK TO. I THINK WE SEE THAT WE HAVE A CHAIRMAN THERE. OKAY. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. BUT WE HIGHLY VALUE THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND THEIR EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS. SO GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. COUNCIL. KYLE ATTORNEY 2941 CLEARWATER DRIVE. SO AS YOU ALREADY SAID, THE DOCUMENT IS FANTASTIC. DUNAWAY IS A TREMENDOUS CONSULTANT, IS VERY THOROUGH. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSSED AT OUR MEETING JUST LAST WEEK WAS JUST HOW YOU ALL COULD CONSIDER THE FUNDING, AND YOU ALREADY DISCUSSED IT TONIGHT. SO I THINK, AS YOU DISCUSSED, THAT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE WE'RE THERE, AS YOU TALKED ABOUT, MR. MAYOR, LOOKING IN THE FUTURE, THERE WAS SLIGHT CONCERNS, BUT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT TO ALL THE PRIVATE PRIVATE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE THAT HOAS PROVIDE. AND SO IT ONLY THE LEVEL OF SERVICE IS ONLY FOR PUBLIC PARKS AND QUANTIFIABLE TO THAT. HOWEVER, THERE IS A LOT OF OPEN SPACE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.AND SO THOSE ARE THINGS AND CONSIDERATIONS WE DISCUSSED THAT COULD ALSO BE PUT INTO A FACTOR AS YOU LOOK INTO THE FUTURE. BUT WHEN THE PARKLAND ACQUISITION COMES IN, WHERE DO THE FUNDS COME THROUGH THAT ALSO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FACILITIES AND HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT. BUT WE FELT LIKE IT WAS A FANTASTIC DOCUMENT, A GREAT GUIDING DOCUMENT FOR THE TOWN. AND SO WE WERE EXCITED TO SEE PRESENTED TO YOU ALL. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU AND ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE OR BOARD. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. OKAY. MY QUESTION REALLY IS ABOUT THE INVENTORY PART WHEN THEY HAD THE INVENTORY. SO FOR EXAMPLE, PRAIRIE PARK, IT SAYS THAT IT'S 6.73 ACRES. NEIGHBORHOOD PARK HAS SOME TRAILS, HAS A HALF BATH, TWO HALF BASKETBALL COURTS AND IT TELLS YOU THE AMENITIES. MY POINT IS, THE AMENITIES THAT ARE LISTED ONLY TAKE UP A SMALL PORTION OF THE SIX ACRES. SO AS YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT WHAT OTHER AMENITIES SHOULD COME ONLINE IS, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE LOOKING AT FUNDING FOR BOTH A REC CENTER AND THEN ALSO BUILDING MORE LARGE PARKS LIKE RAYMOND AND FRONTIER. IS THERE THOUGHT TO OR ANY KIND OF DISCUSSION ABOUT PUTTING SOME AMENITIES INTO SOME OF THESE PARKS WHERE YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, SIX ACRES, BUT YOU'RE ONLY USING LIKE MAYBE AN ACRE OF IT FOR THE CURRENT AMENITIES. IT CERTAINLY IS AN OPTION. WHAT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT SOMETIMES GETS OVERLOOKED IS JUST THE NEED FOR JUST OPEN SPACE. IF YOU IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT THERE AND KICK A SOCCER BALL OR THROW A FOOTBALL OR FRISBEE OR DO SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR DOG, DO ALL THOSE THINGS. SO I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE DON'T OVER PROGRAM THAT. BUT BUT YES, MA'AM, WE COULD CERTAINLY IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT ITEM. YES. ITEMS THAT ARE COMING FORWARD THROUGH THAT SURVEY COULD BE ADDED TO AN EXISTING PARK. WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BUILD A NEW PARK TO MAKE ALL THOSE THINGS HAPPEN. IF WE WANTED TO PUT A PICKLEBALL COURT, IF WE WANTED TO ADD A PICKLEBALL, PICKLEBALL OR TENNIS OR I'M JUST THOSE ARE THE TWO PARTS OF MY HEAD. WE COULD IF THERE WAS AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO PUT THAT, WE COULD CERTAINLY ADD THOSE TO EXISTING PARKS. OKAY. AND THE OTHER THING I JUST WILL SAY, JUST OUT OF CONSISTENCY, SAME THING I SAID TO THE LIBRARY IS, YOU KNOW, AS THE STAFF IS LOOKING AT THE OPTIONS FOR SQUARE FOOTAGE ON A BUILDING, I KNOW YOU SAID YOU WOULD PLAN TO BUILD, YOU KNOW, KIND OF PHASE ONE, AND THAT'S GREAT. YOU KNOW, OUR BOND FUNDS ARE GOING TO BE LIMITED. MY ENCOURAGEMENT IS JUST TO NOT COMPETE WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR. SO IF THERE'S PROGRAMING THAT YOU WANT TO DO FOR A CERTAIN AGE GROUP OR THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S EXERCISE PROGRAMING, YOU NEED EQUIPMENT, THAT'S FINE. BUT YOU KNOW, THE QUESTION IS, DO WE NEED A FULL ON GYM WHEN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, YOU KNOW, TAKES THAT ON? DO WE NEED A BIG EVENT SPACE. YOU KNOW, FOR 200 PEOPLE WHEN THAT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, TAKEN UP BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR. SO I JUST THINK US BEING VERY MINDFUL ABOUT EFFICIENCIES AND MAKING SURE WE ARE PROGRAMING EVERY INCH OF THAT BUILDING IS MY REQUEST. WE'VE DISCUSSED THAT AND WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, MA'AM. COULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR? COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT PARKS AND THE ACREAGE THAT WE'VE GOT COMPARED TO OTHER CITIES? IT WAS IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES. I APOLOGIZE TO GO BACK TO IT, BUT I HAD A QUESTION ON THAT. THERE WE GO. THAT ONE
[00:50:03]
RIGHT THERE. SO THE 656 OF OUR TOTAL MANAGED PARKS, THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PARKS THAT ARE THE PROPERTY WE HAVE THAT THAT WAS SLATED PARKS LIKE DOG RANCH. CORRECT. ANYTHING UNDEVELOPED IS NOT ADDED ON THAT LIST. RIGHT. OKAY. SO WE DO HAVE WE DO HAVE SOME ACREAGE THAT'S GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT NUMBER. THAT'S ALREADY THAT'S ALREADY PURCHASED. AND I SHOULD KNOW THAT OFF TOP OF MY HEAD, I APOLOGIZE. I DON'T I KNOW WE'RE WELL OVER 700 ACRES OF, OF UNDEVELOPED PARKLAND. BESIDES BESIDES OR. I'M SORRY. NO, NOT ADDITIONAL TOTAL. I'M SORRY.BESIDES, DO YOU. YEAH. SORRY, I, BESIDES DOG RANCH. WHAT OTHER WHAT OTHER PROPERTIES DO WE HAVE THAT ARE UNDEVELOPED? THERE'S ONE SONG COMMUNITY PARK, WHICH IS UP IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF TOWN, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE WORKING ON A MASTER PLAN RIGHT NOW. DOPE RANCH, I BELIEVE, IS INCLUDED ON THAT NUMBER BECAUSE WE ARE USING IT. THERE'S BIKE TRAILS OUT THERE.
WE'VE GOT SOME SOME TRAILS MOWED. EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT. I WOULDN'T CONSIDER IT A DEVELOPED. THERE'S SOME SMALL PARCELS AROUND TOWN. THERE'S A GOOD INSIDE THE PLAN. YOU CAN GO ITEM BY ITEM. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK IS GREAT ABOUT, ABOUT THIS PLAN IS, IS IT REALLY SHOWS THE NUMBER OF, OF PARKS THAT WE HAVE. I DIDN'T REALIZE WE HAD THAT MANY PARKS. AND, I MEAN, I'VE BEEN HERE ALL MY LIFE AND I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING THE NUMBER OF PARKS WE HAVE. AND I THINK THAT'S FANTASTIC. AND WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. AND SO I'M EXCITED WHAT WE'RE DOING.
KIND OF LIKE I ECHO OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THAT WE DO HAVE LIMITED FUNDS WITH, WITH ESPECIALLY THE FACILITY SIDE OF THINGS. AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE. AND WHAT THE WHAT THE BOND COMMITTEE IS GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A HARD DECISION. AND WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT. SO BUT BUT THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. YES SIR. SO WITH WITH THAT TO CAVEAT ON TO COUNCIL MEMBER REEVE'S COMMENT, IT DID OPEN MY EYES TO SOME OF THE PLACES I WASN'T AWARE OF, BUT I THINK ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU'LL HEAR COME, I'LL PUT IT IN WRITING, IS WE NEED TO PUT A SIGN OUTSIDE EACH ONE OF THESE BECAUSE, FOR INSTANCE, AT COCKRELL PARK, MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT'S PART OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LAND. AND SO WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT THAT IS A TOWN OWNED PARK AND AVAILABLE FOR EVERYBODY. AND THERE'S MANY OTHER ONES IN THAT WHOLE LIST THAT WE WENT THROUGH. SO THAT WOULD BE ONE OF MY FIRST SUGGESTIONS, IS MAKING PEOPLE AWARE OF WHAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE FOR THEM. SO SURE, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WE CAN WE CAN PUT TOGETHER A PROGRAM, SOME KIND OF SOME KIND OF SIGNAGE OUT THERE TO LET THEM KNOW. YES, SIR. SO JUST ONE THING. AND IT'S MORE JUST FOR MAYBE PEOPLE WHO PUT IT ON THEIR LIST AND AREN'T SURE WHAT THE REASON. BUT WHEN YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THE MOST, AND IT'S THE JOINING OF HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS, RIGHT. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE PROCESS ON HOW THAT HAPPENS? BECAUSE I THINK I KNOW AS FAR AS CONNECTING THE DOTS. YES. SO THAT THAT'S A HARD ONE TO DO, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE WE DON'T OWN THE LAND BETWEEN ALL THOSE ITEMS. SO WE LOOK AT THAT WHEN NEW DEVELOPMENT COMES IN, THERE'S CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS. WE'LL LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH EVEN LIKE UTILITY EASEMENTS. SO THERE'S NOT ONE WAY TO DO THAT. IF THERE'S PIECES OF LAND THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PICK UP, PURCHASE, FIGURE OUT A PLAN TO ACQUIRE THOSE. SO THE WAY SO THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO DO THAT. BUT YEAH, I THINK A LOT OF IT HAPPENS THROUGH AS THE DEVELOPMENT PIECES COME TOGETHER. OKAY. THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THAT DONE. YEAH. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS WANTING TO EMPHASIZE IS THAT IT WILL GET TAKEN CARE OF IN TIME. BUT THE LAND THAT NEEDS TO BE CONNECTED JUST NEEDS TO GET DEVELOPED. RIGHT. SO AND SOME OF IT TOO, YOU'LL SEE THIS IN DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES SOMETIMES SOME OF IT'S ON STREET, SOMETIMES YOU IT'S YOU MAY NOT HAVE A BEAUTIFUL TEN FOOT, 12 FOOT WIDE CONCRETE TRAIL, JUST, YOU KNOW, ALL THE WAY THROUGH THROUGH THE TOWN. THERE MAY BE LITTLE DROP OFF POINTS WHERE YOU HAVE TO CONNECT VIA A STREET OR SOME OTHER. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. FIRST OF ALL, PHILIP, IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. TEN YEARS AGO, I DON'T THINK WE KNEW WHAT PICKLEBALL WAS THAT DIDN'T THAT DIDN'T COME UP. CERTAINLY SOME OF THESE OTHER CATEGORIES DID. THE TRAILS, THE INDOOR FACILITY, SOME OF THOSE THINGS I WANT TO ECHO WHAT COUNCILMAN HODGES SAID ABOUT THE TRAILS, I THINK CONNECTIVITY OF THOSE TRAILS, AND HOWEVER WE DO THAT, IF WE HAVE TO KIND OF AGAIN, SOME OF THAT GOES ON THE STREET. BUT I THINK AWARENESS OF THAT CONNECTIVITY AND THEN USING TECHNOLOGY EVEN TO SO THAT
[00:55:02]
CITIZENS CAN GO, OH, MAYBE AN APP THAT SAYS, HEY, THIS IS HOW I GET FROM, YOU KNOW, THIS NETWORK, I THINK OF TRAILS AND THESE WONDERFUL ASSETS WE HAVE ARE SO IMPORTANT TO THE LIFE OF THIS COMMUNITY. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE USE OTHER MEANS TO HIGHLIGHT AND MAKE PEOPLE AWARE. IT'S LIKE MAYOR SAID, THERE'S SOME THINGS YOU WEREN'T AWARE OF. THERE'S SOME AMAZING PARKS WE HAVE THAT ARE JUST LIKE, I DON'T THINK PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEM. THE OTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT AS WELL WAS I THINK THE DOG RANCH PARK IS AN INCREDIBLE ASSET THAT WE HAVE. I THINK WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES. WE OWE IT TO OUR NEIGHBORS TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO MAKE THAT AN UNBELIEVABLE ATTRACTION. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE AN ASSET LIKE IT. WELL, AND YOU ALL HELPED US START THAT TONIGHT BY APPROVING THAT THAT MASTER PLAN. SO WE'RE READY TO GO. YES. I MEAN, I THINK OBVIOUSLY I LOVE WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE SPORTS FIELDS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT I THINK DOE BRANCH HAS SOME THE ABILITY TO GO BEYOND ANYTHING WE HAVE TODAY. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE US EXECUTE. I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT, BECAUSE EVERY PARK DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE A PLAYGROUND AND SOCCER FIELD, RIGHT? RIGHT, RIGHT. WE YOU PICK AND CHOOSE. YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE WHEN YOU HAVE MORE NATURAL AREAS. THOSE ARE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO PUT IN TRAIL OR SOFT SURFACE TRAIL OR SOME OPPORTUNITY AND EVEN GO FURTHER WITH NATURALISTS AND BE ABLE TO BRING BACK NATIVE PRAIRIE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT PLAYS A BIG ROLE IN A PARK SYSTEM. IT'S IMPORTANT. YEAH. I THINK THAT COULD BE OUR LEGACY COMMUNITY FROM A PARKS PERSPECTIVE, IS WHAT WE DO THERE. AND THEN THE OTHER STUFF, I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SAID IT ALREADY A LITTLE BIT. OBVIOUSLY THE PRICE TAG ON THE INDOOR FACILITY IS VERY HIGH. I THINK SOME OF THOSE ACTIVITIES I SAW IN THERE, IN ADDITION TO THE WORKOUTS, EVEN EVEN SOME OF THE SPECIAL NEEDS AND SOME OF THE SPECIAL ABILITY THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON, THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS COMING IN AND DOING A LOT OF THESE THINGS ALREADY. SO AS WE JUST EVALUATE ALL THAT, WE CAN MAYBE SEE HOW WHERE WE KIND OF MESH WITH THOSE THINGS AND THEN FILL IN THE GAPS WHERE WE DON'T. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. I THANK YOU FOR THIS WORK, AND IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE ALL THESE NUMBERS AND COMPARISONS AND THINGS TO LOOK AT. AND I FEEL LIKE WHEN I LOOK AT THE RANKINGS, THE TOP RANKING THINGS FROM THE SURVEY, I FEEL A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THEM.I THINK IN THE ONES IN THE PAST, SOMETIMES I'M LIKE, REALLY? THAT'S THE HIGHEST THING, YOU KNOW? IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH THE, THE AUDIENCE OF RESPONDENTS. SO I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A GOOD OUT, YOU KNOW, CROSS SECTION THAT WE'RE GETTING HERE AND DIFFERENT THINGS. AND ALSO I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT I FEEL LIKE IT'S INTERESTING THAT IT'S HOW MANY THINGS THAT RANK ON TOP, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A REC CENTER, ARE ALL OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE GENERAL POPULATION ABILITIES, ABILITY TO USE. AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A GOOD VALUE FOR OUR MONEY AND IT'S ENHANCEMENT TO THE COMMUNITY OVERALL, THE GREEN SPACE, THOSE KIND OF THINGS. AND SO I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT. AND I DO WANT TO ECHO ON THE ON THE MULTI-PURPOSE PIECE AS WE MAYBE TAKE THAT FURTHER OR LOOK FURTHER AT THE DIFFERENCE. I THINK I HAVE A SUSPICION THAT PROSPER HAS GOT A DEMOGRAPHIC THAT IS LESS LIKELY TO LEAN TOWARDS, LIKE A GOVERNMENT EXERCISE FACILITY. THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION, AND I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE MAYBE HAVE EXPLORED IN THE PAST, AND I'M SURE THE MARKET CONDITIONS ARE DIFFERENT NOW, BUT I'M THINKING ABOUT LIKE INDOOR FACILITIES WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE SNOW IS, YOU KNOW, HANDLED SOMEWHERE ELSE. WE DO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, YOU KNOW, SOME PARTNERSHIPS LIKE THAT. I THINK THAT WOULD HELP US PROGRESS A LOT FASTER, IF THAT. I DON'T KNOW. I'M SPEAKING OUT OF MY LANE HERE, BUT IN MY MIND, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN THAT WORK ELSEWHERE. I KNOW IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT, BUT I THINK A PSA OR AND I KNOW FIELD HOUSE IN FRISCO WAS MAYBE THE FALTER AND A REDO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE REALLY HOW THEY'RE PERFORMING NOW, BUT THERE'S THESE OPTIONS THAT I THINK MAKE MORE SENSE FOR US AND THE SIZE OF OUR COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, IF LIKE AN INDOOR ATHLETIC COMPLEX, I'VE HEARD THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, WE JUST BUILD THIS. AND I ALWAYS THINK, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU BUILD IT AND IT'LL MAKE MONEY. AND THEN YOU COULD WE COULD USE IT. AND THE REASON WE DON'T HAVE ONE IS BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY NOT A MONEY MAKER. AND SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP THAT BE SUCCESSFUL BY PARTICIPATING BUT NOT HAVING NOT RUNNING IT. NOT, YOU KNOW, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW. I'M JUST SAYING MAKE SURE WE CONSIDER THOSE OPTIONS. AND THAT MAY BE IN HERE AND I'M MISSING SOME OF THE DETAILS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD THAT WE THINK ABOUT THOSE KIND OF THINGS, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT'S IMPORTANT. AND SOMETIMES WE'RE NOT GETTING THE MAYBE THE FULL PICTURE. AND THE OTHER THERE'S A COMPONENT IN THERE THAT I READ, AND I MAY BE READING A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THIS AND HAVE NOT READ A LOT OF THE RESOLUTIONS, BUT SPECIFICALLY IN THE PROGRAMING COSTS, WHERE WE ACTUALLY BENCHMARKED EXTREMELY LOW COMPARED TO OUR, OUR, OUR. OUR
[01:00:08]
OUR COMPARATIVE CITIES HERE. THERE'S REASONS AND SOME OF THOSE ARE LISTED OUT MAYBE IF IT'S AQUATIC CENTER OR SOMETHING. SO THEY HAVE A MUCH HIGHER PARTICIPATION RATE. I'D LIKE TO SEE US TAKE THAT INTO ADVISEMENT AND THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING MOVING FORWARD, LIKE WHAT'S OUR I THINK IT MENTIONS COST OF RECOVERY AND PARTICIPATION. IT'S LIKE, WHAT WHAT CAN WE DO TO SAVE MONEY IN SOME OF THOSE AREAS WHERE WE'RE MAYBE SPINNING OUR WHEELS? OR WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE OTHER COMMUNITIES BASED ON THIS BENCHMARKING THAT WE COULD SEE, YOU KNOW, LIKE IF ALLEN HAS HER HUGE I MEAN, THEIRS IS RIDICULOUSLY HIGHER. I'M SURE THERE'S SPECIFIC REASONS. WHAT ARE THEY AND DOES THAT APPLY TO US OR NOT. AND SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF GET THAT OUT OF OUR HEAD. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T WASTE THAT DATA POINT. AND AS WE'RE EVALUATING THINGS MOVING FORWARD, THAT'S MY FEEDBACK. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL BE PREPARED TO GIVE COMMENTS WHEN IT'S TIME. SO THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO[13. Discuss and consider Town Council Subcommittee reports. (DFB)]
PARTICIPATED AND ALL THE WORK THAT WENT IN TO GET US TO THIS POINT. THANK YOU. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 13, WHICH IS DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE TOWN COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS. THE ONLY COMMITTEE THAT MET WAS THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, AND WE MET ON MONDAY MORNING AND DISCUSSED LEGISLATIVE, THAT LEGISLATIVE GROUNDWORK THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW TO HOPEFULLY PREPARE US FOR SOME ACTION BY OUR LEGISLATORS. THE REST WILL COVER IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. OKAY. YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE? I'M JUST GOING TO WE'VE ALSO GOT THE WHICH I GUESS WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME, BUT THE COLLIN COUNTY DAY IN AUSTIN IS APRIL 1ST THROUGH. YES. YEAH. YEAH. AND THEN YEAH. AND I THINK RESERVATIONS WERE WENT OUT FOR SOME FOLKS ON THAT. SO OKAY. ANY OTHER I DON'T THINK ANY OTHER COMMITTEES MET DID THEY. NOPE.[Possibly direct Town staff to schedule topic(s) for discussion at a future meeting]
OKAY. THEN IN THAT CASE OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS POSSIBLY DIRECT TOWN STAFF TO SCHEDULE A TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION AT A FUTURE MEETING. IS THERE ANY COUNCIL MEMBER THAT HAS ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? I WAS I WANT TO KIND OF GO, BASED OFF WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER ANDRES WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH ON THE PARK SYSTEM, UTILIZE EXPLORING THE APP AND THE WEB AND PUTTING THE PARKS TRAIL, THE TRAIL SYSTEM AND THE PARK SYSTEM ON THE APP OR THE WEBSITE. IT'S A GREAT IDEA. YEAH. VERY WELL. I'LL ALSO JUST A REMINDER TO STAFF THAT WE HAD TWO ITEMS ON OUR FUTURE AGENDA THING.
