[7. Consider and act upon a Resolution adopting the 2025 Library Master Plan. (GL)]
I'LL MOVE ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. PURSUANT TO SECTION 551.007 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 OPENED. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2025 LIBRARY MASTER PLAN. MR. GARY LANDEK. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANKS FOR HAVING ME BACK. TONIGHT, I JUST WANT TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE REVISED MASTER PLAN THAT WE PRESENTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHEN I WAS HERE WITH MY CONSULTANTS, AND HOW WE'VE ADAPTED IT BASED ON YOUR INPUT. SO MY GOAL IS JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW THE PLAN POSITIONS THE LIBRARY FOR PROSPER'S CONTINUED GROWTH WHILE MAINTAINING MUNICIPAL EXCELLENCE AND ADAPTING FOR THE FUTURE. SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO OOPS. CAN WE MOVE ON? DO I NEED TO ADVANCE THIS? MICHELLE? OKAY, THAT'LL PROBABLY HELP, RIGHT? OH, THERE WE GO. OKAY, THERE'S MY INTRO SLIDE. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT, THERE WE GO. NOW WE'RE NOW WE'RE OFF AND RUNNING. SO, SO JUST JUST TO RECAP WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME. AS YOU RECALL, I WAS HERE WITH THE TWO CONSULTANTS FROM 720 DESIGN. AND THEY, THEY DESCRIBED HOW THE CURRENT LIBRARY IS JUST IS SMALL COMPARED TO OUR PEER CITIES. THEY ALSO COVERED QUITE A BIT ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SURVEY THAT WE CONDUCTED LAST SUMMER. THOSE, THOSE A LOT OF PEOPLE FELT LIKE THE CURRENT SPACE IS OVERCROWDED. THE COLLECTION IS TOO SMALL, THE PROGRAM AND EVENT SPACE IS LIMITED AS WELL. WE[00:10:04]
MEET ACCREDITATION MINIMUMS. BUT TO MAINTAIN HIGH STANDARDS, WE'LL HAVE TO REALLY PLAN FOR THE FUTURE IN TERMS OF THE COLLECTION SIZE, THE SPACE, THE SEATING TECHNOLOGY AND SO ON. SO THAT'S WHAT WE COVERED LAST TIME. AND THEN COUNCIL GAVE US QUITE A FEW, SEVERAL REQUESTS TO INCORPORATE INTO A REVISED PLAN. SO ALL OF THESE ARE IN THE REVISED MASTER PLAN NOW. I'VE GOT THESE LISTED UP HERE. THE MAIN ONE BEING THE ADDITION OF A THIRD FACILITY THAT'S SMALL, QUITE A BIT SMALLER THAN THE OTHER, THE EXISTING TWO OR THE ORIGINAL TWO. SO THAT'S I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT HERE TONIGHT. SO JUST TO RECAP THE BUILDING OPTIONS THAT WE HAD. WE'VE GOT OPTIONS ONE AND TWO WHICH WERE YOU KNOW WERE PRETTY GOOD SIZED. AND BUT WE'VE ADDED A THIRD OPTION PER COUNCIL'S REQUEST THAT THAT ONE CAME IN AT ABOUT 33,000FT■!S. YU CAN SEE THE ESTIMATED PROJECT COST FOR EACH OF THESE. THAT ONE COMES IN ABOUT $34.2 MILLION.DOESN'T INCLUDE LAND ON ANY OF THESE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WHERE THE SITE WILL BE. IT ALSO THERE'S THE BREAKDOWN WITH DIRECT COSTS. WHAT'S INCLUDED THERE. THE NOTE ABOUT INFLATIONARY COSTS AS WELL. AND AT THE VERY BOTTOM, I JUST ADDED A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT THE COST PER SQUARE FOOT WOULD BE FOR EACH OF THOSE OPTIONS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SMALLER THE FACILITY GETS, THE MORE EXPENSIVE PER SQUARE FOOT IT BECOMES. SO FOR THIS NEXT PART, I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF PAINT MY OWN PICTURE OF WHAT I. I THINK OUR NEXT LIBRARY SHOULD LOOK LIKE. SO I'VE BEEN A LIBRARIAN FOR 22 YEARS NOW. THIS IS MY THIRD TIME AROUND AS A LIBRARY DIRECTOR AS WELL. SO I'VE WORKED IN A LOT OF A LOT OF LIBRARIES, BIG AND SMALL. AND WHAT I, WHAT I REALLY KIND OF SEE HAPPENING IS THIS I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE A STORY TIME WHERE THE SPACE IS ITSELF ADAPTS NOT JUST TO THE SIZE OF THE GROUP, BUT TO EACH PARTICIPANT'S PREFERENCES AND COMFORT, WHETHER IT'S TWO PEOPLE OR 200, THE ROOM AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTS THE LIGHTING, THE SOUND AND VISUALS TO CREATE AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE WITHOUT DISRUPTING OTHERS WHO ARE USING THE LIBRARY. BECAUSE WE ALWAYS HAVE OTHER THINGS GOING ON. ALWAYS.
AND SO WHAT I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT IS FLASHY TECHNOLOGY THAT'S GOING TO EXPIRE, BUT I'M REALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT SMART, EFFICIENT DESIGN. AND ESPECIALLY IN THESE EARLY DAYS OF GENERATIVE AI, WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE ITS CAPABILITIES TO HANDLE LOGISTICS, FINE TUNING, FINE TUNED SETTINGS IN REAL TIME, AND EVEN PROVIDE INSIGHTS TO IMPROVE FUTURE EVENTS. SO THIS WOULD ALLOW THE STAFF TO FOCUS ON WHAT THEY DO BEST, WHICH IS CREATING EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCES FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND FURTHERMORE, A FACILITY LIKE THIS WOULD BECOME AN ASSET FOR OTHER TOWN EVENTS AND FUNCTIONS AS WELL. SO I'M ALWAYS KIND OF LOOKING AT NOT JUST THE LIBRARY, BUT WHAT THE TOWN NEEDS AND WHAT OTHER WAYS WE THE COMMUNITY.
SO WE WOULD BUILD IT TO LAST. IT WOULD USE SCALABLE, PROVEN SOLUTIONS THAT ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE INITIAL DESIGN SO THAT WE CAN CREATE A FUTURE READY FACILITY THAT ADAPTS OVER TIME.
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT MY EXPERIENCE HAS TOLD ME. SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO ADDRESS ON THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE. AND I JUST WANTED TO THAT THAT LAST LITTLE BIT ON AT THE BOTTOM. THIS CAME UP LAST TIME ABOUT THE NEED FOR PHYSICAL SPACES AND MATERIALS.
THAT IS THAT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT KIND OF EBBS AND FLOWS OVER TIME. AND WE SEE, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN IN MY CAREER I'VE SEEN BIG DISRUPTIONS. YOU KNOW, WHEN EBOOKS CAME ALONG AND THEN COVID HAPPENED. AND THOSE THINGS ALWAYS ADJUST. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO ADJUST THOSE THINGS ALL THE TIME. AND IT JUST IT JUST REALLY ACCENTUATES THE NEED TO HAVE A REALLY FLEXIBLE SPACE. SO IF WE NEED TO GO MORE DIGITAL AT SOME POINT, WE CAN IF WE NEED TO GO BACK MORE ANALOG, WE CAN DO THAT. AND THAT SHOULD JUST ALL BE BUILT INTO INTO THE DESIGN.
AND I THINK WE HAVE A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT HERE. SO JUST AGAIN, JUST JUST TO KIND OF EMPHASIZE THAT. WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT MULTI-USE ROOMS, I MEAN THAT ROOMS THAT AREN'T DESIGNED FOR ANY SPECIFIC PURPOSE, BUT THAT REALLY CAN BE ADAPTED TO ANYTHING. SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ADJUST FROM BUSINESS MEETINGS TO STORY TIME SETTINGS, YOU KNOW, REALLY EASILY. THE LAYOUTS ARE REALLY RECONFIGURABLE. SO LIKE IF THE MAYOR WANTED TO HAVE A TOWN HALL AND IT'S LIKE, HEY, I NEED TO GET 300 PEOPLE IN A BUILDING IN 30 MINUTES, WE COULD DO IT. WE COULD JUST WE COULD MOVE EVERYTHING TO THE SIDES AND IT LOOKS GOOD. AND THEN HE HAS TO DO LITTLE MORE THAN MIC UP. MAYBE HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO MIC UP BECAUSE THE TECHNOLOGY IS KIND OF ADJUSTING EVERYTHING FOR THE SETTING. AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK WE CAN REALLY DO, REALLY LOOK AT AN EYE FORWARD DESIGN. AND THAT'S I THINK ESPECIALLY IN THESE IN THESE EARLY DAYS WITH AI, I THINK WE HAVE A REAL, REAL OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE THAT IN WAYS THAT JUST NO OTHER
[00:15:04]
LIBRARIES ARE DOING. SO I THINK WE HAVE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY HERE. SO THAT'S KIND OF MY OWN VISION. SO THE CHOOSING THE SITE IS THE, THE CONSULTANTS. LAST TIME THEY THEY MENTIONED THAT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED IDEALLY SOMETHING 5 TO 8 ACRES. WE LEARNED THAT'S THE THAT'S A LOT.THAT'S PROBABLY JUST NOT POSSIBLE. BUT SO THEY'VE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS SO THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY DO SOMETHING ON AS SMALL AS TWO ACRES. THAT WOULD BE TIGHT. THERE WOULD BE SOME TRADE OFFS. SO AGAIN THE BIG THING IS JUST IS TO KIND OF PLAN FOR GROWTH, ESPECIALLY IF WE DO SOMETHING SMALLER. IF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS, THAT MAYBE WE CREATE A SHELL SPACE IN THAT AREA. AND WHAT I REALLY LIKE IS THE IDEA OF CO-LOCATING IT WITH ANOTHER TOWN FACILITY, ESPECIALLY LIKE THE REC CENTER THAT THAT PARKS IS PROPOSING. SO THAT WOULD JUST OPTIMIZE, YOU KNOW, THE SPACE EVEN MORE. SO I THINK I THINK THOSE ARE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES THERE. SO FOR MY OWN, JUST MY OWN RECOMMENDATIONS AS THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR, I ENCOURAGE COUNCIL TO ADOPT THE MASTER PLAN AS IT IS AND TO CONSIDER THE LIBRARY BOARD'S INPUT. SO I'M GOING TO INVITE A COUPLE OF MEMBERS UP HERE IN JUST A MOMENT TO SPEAK TO THOSE. SO IF YOU'LL CONSIDER THOSE, THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. AND THAT WE IF WE IF IT'S POSSIBLE, WE KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF COMPETING PRIORITIES. IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO BUILD SOMETHING FAIRLY SOON. FOR REASONS WE'VE JUST WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERE. THERE'S YOU KNOW, SOME CHALLENGES THERE OBVIOUSLY. AND THE BIG THING IS JUST TO MAKE IT REALLY FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE AND FOR JUST ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT USES. AGAIN, JUST REALLY I THINK AGAIN, WE JUST HAVE A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING INNOVATIVE THAT OTHER LIBRARIES, OTHER CITIES ARE JUST NOT DOING. I KNOW YOU VISITED A LOT OF LIBRARIES ON YOUR TOUR AND THERE'S THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD, BUT I THINK WE CAN REALLY LEVEL UP HERE. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT REALLY KIND OF BLENDS THOSE TRADITIONAL SERVICES WITH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND SPACES, AND THEN THAT WE CREATE POLICIES THAT DON'T COMPETE WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR. I KNOW THIS CAME UP LAST TIME AS WELL. SO THE THING I JUST DESCRIBED IS SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY WOULD BE LIKE, OH MAN, THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR A WEDDING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND SO THE WAY YOU JUST WORK AROUND THAT IS JUST THAT YOU JUST IT'S NOT FOR RENT. IT'S JUST IT'S ONLY FOR TOWN FUNCTIONS. YOU KNOW, WE'D JUST BE REALLY CLEAR ABOUT THAT. AND THEN JUST WITH THIS JUST COMES, YOU KNOW, NEW OPPORTUNITIES. I MEAN, JUST AGAIN, WITH WITH AI COMING IN, I THINK WE JUST HAVE A WAY TO REALLY LOOK FORWARD. I THINK IT JUST CREATES AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. IT'S A REAL CIVIC HUB. AND THEN JUST AND THEN NOT EVERYBODY LEARNS THROUGH BOOKS. SO EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, I THINK WE HAVE A SPACE THAT REALLY INVITES OTHERS TO COME IN WHO ARE NOT BOOK ORIENTED. YOU KNOW, WE'VE KNOWN THAT FOR DECADES. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S LIKE, WOW, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE. AND I'M LEARNING ALL KINDS OF STUFF HERE. AND, AND YOU KNOW, I'M NOT REALLY INTO BOOKS. SO, SO THAT'S THAT'S MY TAKE ON IT. AND SO AT THIS POINT I WANT TO INVITE UP DANIELLE PHILLIPSON AND MARY BETH RANDECKER TO TALK ABOUT THE LIBRARY BOARDS. THEY HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS AND I'LL BRING THEM UP RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU GARY. OKAY. AND I'D LIKE TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO YOU AND ROBIN, MARIO, MAYOR BRISTOL, AS WELL AS MY FELLOW LIBRARY BOARD MEMBERS FOR ALL THE COLLABORATION, SUPPORT AND HARD WORK THAT HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN TO GET US TO THIS POINT. I'D ALSO BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE FORMER DIRECTOR LESLIE SCOTT, WHO WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING THIS PROJECT GOING. TO BEGIN, I'D LIKE TO PROVIDE A BIT OF CONTEXT REGARDING THE LIBRARY BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION. THE LIBRARY BOARD COMPLETED A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THE REPORT PROVIDED BY 720 DESIGNS, AND HAS FORMALLY ACCEPTED THE REPORT. I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS A SMALL CLARIFICATION FROM THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS MADE TO TOWN COUNCIL IN JANUARY. THE LIBRARY BOARD HAS NOT ADOPTED THE REPORT IN ITS FULL MEASURE, BUT RATHER HAS ACCEPTED IT AND DISCUSSED IT EXTENSIVELY. THIS LED US TO HONE IN ON SOME OF THE KEY IDEAS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT, WHICH WE USED ALONGSIDE THE LONG RANGE PLAN THAT TOWN COUNCIL APPROVED IN 2022 TO DEVELOP A SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS TO SUPPORT THE VISION OF BUILDING THE LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE FOR MANY PROSPER RESIDENTS, THE LIBRARY IS THE SINGLE MOST COMMON POINT OF CONTACT WITH THE TOWN. AS WE LOOK AHEAD, WE NEED TO BE SURE THAT THE TOWN COUNCIL'S VISION OF EXCELLENCE IN MUNICIPAL SERVICES CONTINUES TO BE EXECUTED, AND THAT THE PHYSICAL EXPRESSION OF THAT VISION MEETS HIGH PUBLIC EXPECTATIONS. JUST LAST YEAR, THE INSTITUTE OF MUSEUM AND LIBRARY SERVICES RELEASED A REPORT HIGHLIGHTING THAT IN AN ERA OF E-BOOKS AND DIGITAL EXPERIENCES, PEOPLE STILL WANT PHYSICAL BOOKS AND IN-PERSON EXPERIENCES FROM THEIR LIBRARIES. THIS SENTIMENT WAS ECHOED BY SOME OF THE COMMENTS CAPTURED BY 720 DESIGNS, AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON RESIDENTS REPORTED FOR NOT USING THE LIBRARY WAS THAT BOTH THE PHYSICAL COLLECTION AND THE PHYSICAL SPACE WERE TOO SMALL. THIS REPORTED CONCERN WILL BE EXACERBATED AS WE HAVE ONLY REACHED ABOUT OUR HALFWAY POINT OF POPULATION GROWTH AS WE
[00:20:03]
CONTINUE TO GROW, OUR LIBRARY RESOURCES PER CAPITA WILL CONTINUE TO DECLINE, WHICH ALSO JEOPARDIZES ACCREDITATION UNLESS ACTION IS TAKEN. IN JANUARY, SEVERAL TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS POSED THE QUESTION OF WHAT THE RIGHT MIX OF PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL COLLECTION WOULD BE AND HOW THAT WOULD INFLUENCE THE REQUIRED LIBRARY SIZE OF THE FUTURE. COINCIDENTALLY, 2025 KICKED OFF LARGER DISCUSSIONS BASED ON THE PROPOSAL OF UPDATED STANDARDS THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE TEXAS LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES COMMISSION IN NOVEMBER. AT PRESENT, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE FINAL STANDARDS WILL BE. THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN DECIDED. BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT MODERN PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE NO LONGER JUST A PLACE TO FIND A BOOK AND READ. INSTEAD, THEY HAVE BECOME LIVELY, FLEXIBLE, OPEN SPACES FILLED WITH LEARNING RESOURCES, BUT ALSO SERVING AS COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATION HUBS. LOCALLY, WE'VE SEEN A TREMENDOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS WITH THE NEW FRISCO LIBRARY, AS IT'S BRIMMING WITH PUBLIC SPACES FILLED WITH PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.ANECDOTALLY, WE KNOW THAT MANY FOSTER RESIDENTS ARE CHOOSING THE FRISCO LIBRARY, AND IT ISN'T A STRETCH TO THINK THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COLLABORATIVE SPACES ARE OUR TOWN'S RESIDENTS.
AS I PREVIOUSLY PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THE LIBRARY BOARD HAS HAD EXTENSIVE DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE MASTER PLAN REPORT PROVIDED BY 720 DESIGNS, BUT THIS IS ONLY THE LATEST STAGE OF A DISCUSSION THAT THE LIBRARY BOARD HAS BEEN HAVING FOR OVER TWO YEARS WITH AD HOC COMMITTEES, SPECIAL RESEARCH AND DISCUSSIONS OVER BOTH REGULAR AND SPECIAL MEETINGS. BASED ON THOSE INPUTS THAT DANIELLE JUST PROVIDED, THE LIBRARY BOARD FIRMLY BELIEVES THAT OPTION TWO, A 49,000 SQUARE FOOT LIBRARY, IS THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM PROSPER SHOULD CONSIDER IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE TOWN DEMONSTRATES EXCELLENCE IN OUR LIBRARY SERVICES FOR RESIDENTS LIBRARY ASSOCIATIONS. EXCUSE ME. THIS MINIMUM WOULD NOT ONLY SERVE TO SUPPORT OUR STATE ACCREDITATION, BUT WOULD ALSO MEET TEXAS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION STANDARDS OF 0.8FT■!S PER CAPITA AND ALSO ALIGNS WITH THE TOWN COUNCIL'S GOAL, SET OUT IN ITS 2024 STRATEGIC VISIONN OF CONTINUING TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT MUNICIPAL SERVICES, ACCELERATING INFRASTRUCTURE AND, DEPENDING ON THE POSSIBLE SITE LOCATION, DEVELOPMENT OF DOWNTOWN PROSPER AS A DESTINATION. WE FURTHER RECOMMEND THE PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL COLLECTIONS BE EXPANDED IN ALIGNMENT WITH TLA STANDARDS.
THIS WILL MAKE CERTAIN THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE ITEMS THEY SEEK. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE TOWN COUNCIL MOVE TO IDENTIFY RESOURCES AND EXPERTS TO UNDERTAKE A FEASIBILITY STUDY ON THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A LIBRARY FOUNDATION. THIS CAN HELP SUPPORT SOME CAPITAL COSTS. THE LIBRARY BOARD FEELS THAT FURTHER DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS, GOING BEYOND WHAT WAS GATHERED DURING THE MASTER PLAN REPORT EXERCISE, NEEDS TO BE UNDERTAKEN PRIOR TO DECISIONS REGARDING PROGRAMING, STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITY AND COLLECTION DESIGN. THE 720 REPORT PROVIDED VALUABLE HIGH LEVEL INSIGHTS, BUT MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE UNDERTAKEN TO IDENTIFY GAPS AND HIGHLIGHT OPPORTUNITIES. WE ALSO RECOMMEND THE 700 2720 REPORT BE USED AS A SOURCE DOCUMENT IN THE NEXT ITERATION OF THE LIBRARY'S LONG RANGE PLAN. IDEALLY, THE LONG RANGE PLAN WILL BE REVISITED AND REFINED IN THE NEXT 12 TO 18 MONTHS. LASTLY, AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR VISIONING OF THE NEW LIBRARY, WE RECOMMEND A STRONG FOCUS BE PLACED ON BUILDING THE LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE, ONE THAT IS FORWARD LOOKING, FLEXIBLE, INNOVATIVE, AND CAN RESPOND TO THE CHANGING USES OF LIBRARY RESOURCES, STAFF AND SPACE.
PERHAPS IMAGINING WHAT A LIBRARY MEANS FOR PROSPER LOOKS INCLUDES LOOKING AT ALLIANCES WITH PLACES LIKE PARKS AND REC, OR THE SENIOR CENTER IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD OF INFORMATION, INCLUDING AI'S ROLE AS AN INFORMATION SOURCE. HOW SHOULD A LIBRARY SERVE ITS COMMUNITY NOW AND WELL INTO THE FUTURE? FOR THIS FACILITY TO SERVE RESIDENTS AT BUILD OUT AND BEYOND, OUR FOCUS MUST BE ON BUILDING A FACILITY THAT WILL SERVE US FOR THE LONG RUN. WE'VE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THAT, SO WE THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING OUR VIEWS AND HONORING OUR WORK. I KNOW I CAN SPEAK FOR OUR ENTIRE TEAM. WE WERE HONORED TO BE A PART OF THIS, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO FUTURE WORK TOGETHER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU BOTH. THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE LIBRARY BOARD. I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE MET A BUNCH OF TIMES TO CONSIDER THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL, SO THANK
[00:25:01]
YOU FOR ALL OF THAT WORK TO GET US TO THIS POINT. APPRECIATE IT. WITH THAT, THE DOES ANY MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL HAVE A DISCUSSION POINT THAT THEY'D LIKE TO BRING UP ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? OKAY. THANK YOU. SO JUST A COUPLE COMMENTS FROM ME, BECAUSE I WAS PRETTY VOCAL IN THE LAST TIME. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TECHNOLOGY FORWARD APPROACH. I THINK THE REPORT ORIGINALLY HAD A LOT OF TALK ABOUT PHYSICAL COLLECTION AND NEEDING SPACE FOR STORAGE AND ALL THAT WHICH IS NEEDED. I'M NOT SAYING IT ISN'T NEEDED, BUT I AM VERY HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THE BOARD AND THE STAFF REALLY WANTS TO LOOK FORWARD AND HOW WE CAN BE INNOVATIVE AND EFFICIENT, I LOVE THAT. I WILL ALSO COMMENT THAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE VISITED CEDAR HILL AT ALL, BUT WHEN WE VISITED THAT SPACE, WHAT STRUCK ME ABOUT IT IS IT'S 40 ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FEET AND A LOT OF IT IS DEDICATED. I WOULD SAY A GOOD PORTION, I WOULD GUESS AROUND 8 TO 10,000FT■!S IS DEDICATED TOWARDS THE EVENT CENTER SPACE. RIGHT. RIGHT. AND SO AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY OPENED THEIR LIBRARY SERVICES UP TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THEY ARE NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, THEIR TOWN, ONLY THEY THEY LOVE TO OPEN IT UP TO EVERYBODY. SO THAT'S WHERE I GOT THE 30,000 TO 35,000FT■!S NUMBER. AND I WAS GD TO SEE IT INTEGRATED INTO THIS PLAN. RIGHT. I THINK I THINK WE JUST NEED TO TAKE ALL OPTIONS TO THE BOND COMMITTEE AND SEE AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE WILLING TO DO, BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE WORK. I APPRECIATE THE ADJUSTMENTS IN THE PLAN TO REFLECT SORT OF OUR VALUES AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. AND SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK TO THE COMMISSION AS WELL.THANK YOU. I THINK THAT MADE IT A BETTER PLAN. SO THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE APPRECIATE. WE ALL APPRECIATE THE INPUT. YEAH. IT WAS A LOT OF WORK GETTING HERE. SO BUT I THINK IT MADE IT BETTER IN THE END I THINK. SO GARY TO KIND OF FOLLOW UP A LITTLE BIT, THE BOARD HAD MADE THE RECOMMENDATION. SO IF WE WERE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN AS IS, WE WOULD THEN SAY AND THE LIBRARY BOARD'S RECOMMENDATIONS. RIGHT. OKAY. SO YEAH, I THINK WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, I, YOU KNOW, MY, MY OWN THOUGHTS ABOUT IT ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE BOARD. AND THAT'S WHY WE WHY WE ASKED THE BOARD TO COME UP AND SPEAK TO THOSE. SO I WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS CONSIDER THOSE. I MEAN IF YOU WANT IF YOU IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN KIND OF SPEAK TO, JUST KIND OF BASED ON MY, MY OWN EXPERIENCE. I MEAN, I'LL JUST GIVE ONE EXAMPLE HERE, I GUESS.
SO THAT SMALLER OPTION, I WE CAN ALWAYS DO A LOT WITH, WITH SMALLER SPACES. I'M JUST I KNOW THAT AND, AND I AND I, I RESPECT AND ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT THE BOARD HAS TO SAY ABOUT THAT. AND I THINK, YEAH, BIGGER WOULD BE BETTER. THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. AND SO IF WE COULD HAVE THAT, THAT'S GREAT. BUT I WAS YOU KNOW, I WAS PART OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE JOHN AND JUDY GAY LIBRARY IN MCKINNEY IS ABOUT 35,000FT■!S. AND THAT WAS THAT S DESIGNED, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, 720 DESIGNED HELPED WITH THAT ONE AS WELL. AND BUT WE DESIGNED IT SO THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD YOU COULD MOVE THINGS AROUND AND IT'S, IT'S PRETTY CLOSE. IN FACT, ONE TIME WE HOSTED A COMIC CON IN THAT, IN THAT BUILDING, AND WE CLEARED OUT THE WHOLE CENTER OF THE LIBRARY AND MADE IT A ARENA AND MADE AN ARENA IN THERE. SO WE PUT IN BLEACHERS SO THAT PEOPLE COULD SIT DOWN, AND WE GOT 350 PEOPLE IN THERE FOR THAT ONE EVENT, WHILE OTHER PEOPLE WERE STILL USING THE COMPUTERS AND THE STUDY ROOMS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. SO I GUESS WHAT, I GUESS THE WHOLE POINT OF IT IS THAT I THINK WHATEVER WE DO, WE JUST NEED TO HAVE WE NEED TO REVISIT ALL OF IT, AND THE BOARD NEEDS TO BE REALLY INVOLVED IN THAT. YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO SEE OTHER LIBRARIES. WE NEED TO TALK TO OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. BECAUSE I THINK I THINK JUST WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH THE WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE CAN DO WITH SPACES AND TECHNOLOGY, YOU KNOW, NOT AGAIN, NOT GIMMICKY STUFF, BUT STUFF THAT REALLY MAKES THE WORK BETTER, CREATES BETTER EXPERIENCES. AND IS, YOU KNOW, IS PART OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. I THINK WE JUST WE NEED TO LOOK AT ALL OF THAT STUFF TOGETHER. AND SO YES, I WANT YOU TO BE VERY, YOU KNOW, TAKE SERIOUSLY THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATIONS, KNOWING THAT THE BOARD AND I SEE IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. AND BUT THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A LIBRARY BOARD. THEY HAVE A THEY HAVE THEY'RE REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY. I'M, YOU KNOW, REPRESENTING WHAT I'VE SEEN IN MY, MY OWN EXPERIENCE AND WORKED IN OTHER LIBRARIES. SO, SO LET'S JUST CONTINUE ON THROUGH THAT IN THE RESOLUTION SECTION TWO, IT SAYS THAT THE MASTER PLAN SHALL NOT COMMIT THE TOWN OF PROSPER SPECIFIC FUNDING LEVELS, IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES, BUT SHALL PROVIDE A GUIDE FOR THE TOWN'S VISION FOR THE AVAILABILITY AND GROWTH OF LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.
SO I DON'T THINK THE COUNCIL'S PREPARED TODAY TO SAY WE WANT X, Y OR Z. WE WANT THAT TO GO TO THE BOND COMMITTEE AND LET THOSE DECISIONS BE MADE THERE. SO. RIGHT. AND THEN THAT'S WHAT WE EXPECTED THAT, YOU KNOW, THE BOND COMMITTEE WOULD, WOULD, WOULD, WOULD WEIGH ALL OF THIS WEIGH THE BOARD'S, YOU KNOW, WHAT I HAD TO SAY, WHAT THE BOARD HAD TO SAY. AND, YOU KNOW,
[00:30:03]
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT FACTORS INTO SO, SO YEAH, WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THE TOWN COUNCIL CREATE A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE FOUNDATION. I WOULD SAY I WOULD, AND I'M SORRY THAT I DIDN'T MENTION THIS EARLIER. WHEN THE REPRESENTATIVES ARE UP, I CHALLENGE YOU GUYS TO DO THAT FIRST AND THEN COME TO US WITH YOUR PLAN. I'M HAPPY. I'M SURE THE COUNCIL WILL BE MORE THAN WILLING TO LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT, RIGHT. I SEE I SEE COMMENTARY FROM THE BOARD.YOU GUYS WANT TO ADDRESS THAT AT ALL? DANIEL? YEAH. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. YOU CAN'T COME.
COME. COME ON UP. COME ON UP. THANK YOU. IN THE INITIAL WORK AND OUR LEGAL EXPERTS FOR CERTAIN THAT THEY IN THE INITIAL WORK THAT THE LIBRARY BOARD UNDERTOOK TO STUDY THIS, I DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIBRARY BOARD IS ABLE TO ACTUALLY UNDERTAKE THIS WORK. IT HAS TO BE OUTSIDE. AND I BELIEVE ALSO THAT THE FUNDING FOR UNDERTAKING THE IT GUYS ARE ASKING YOU TO SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE. SORRY. MY APOLOGIES. SO JUST TO REPEAT IN THE INITIAL WORK, RESEARCH WORK THAT THE BOARD UNDERTOOK ON A FOUNDATION, MY UNDERSTANDING IS, IS THAT THE BOARD ITSELF CANNOT CONDUCT THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, THAT THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE, NOR CAN WE USE PUBLIC FUNDS TO UNDERTAKE THAT WORK. SO A DIFFERENT SOURCE OF FUNDS. BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO CHECK WITH OBVIOUSLY LEGAL EXPERTS AND WHATNOT. WE'RE WE'RE VOLUNTEERS FROM THE COMMITTEE. BUT THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. OF THE PROBLEM. THOSE ARE THE PREROGATIVES OF THE COUNCIL IN TERMS OF FEASIBILITY STUDIES OR FUNDING FOR FEASIBILITY STUDIES OR FURTHER ACTION. AS A PROCESS IN THE BUDGET AS PART OF THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET. SO BY SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE IN THIS RECOMMENDATION, IT SOUNDS LIKE A COUPLE DIFFERENT MORE CONSULTING TYPE CONTRACTS. SO COULD THAT COME IN THE BUDGET PROCESS? SO I'M NOT A I'M NOT A LAWYER, I'LL JUST SAY THAT UP FRONT. BUT I KNOW THAT IN OUR INITIAL WORK, PUBLIC FUNDS COULD NOT BE USED TO UNDERTAKE A FEASIBILITY STUDY TO ESTABLISH A FOUNDATION. ANOTHER SOURCE WOULD HAVE. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME FUNDRAISING THROUGH FRIENDS OR SOME OTHER ORGANIZATION TO GET AN ENVELOPE TOGETHER TO SUPPORT A FEASIBILITY STUDY, IS MY UNDERSTANDING. BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO INVESTIGATE THAT FURTHER.
TOWN MANAGER HAS. YES, SIR. AND AGAIN, WHETHER IT'S A LIBRARY FOUNDATION OR PARKS FOUNDATION, THESE ARE DONE ALL OVER THE STATE, ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. SO, I MEAN, WE CAN FOLLOW A MODEL. I MEAN, WE'RE NOT TREADING NEW GROUND HERE. IT'S JUST NEW TO US. BUT IT'S NOT NEW TO OTHER OTHER ENTITIES, OTHER COMMUNITIES. SO WHATEVER IS THE APPROPRIATENESS FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE AND, AND SETTING UP THE, THE, THE, A SEPARATE BOARD AND ALL KINDS OF COMPONENTS, WE CAN CERTAINLY WORK ON THAT. AND IF IT IS, REQUIRES SOME LEVEL OF PUBLIC INVESTMENT, IF ALLOWED TO AT LEAST DO SOME INITIAL STUDIES ON ON WHAT THAT MEANS, WE CAN CERTAINLY FOLD THAT IN AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS AT THE NEXT BUDGET YEAR. THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU CHRIS. SO AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS GARY OR MARIO OR, OR SOMEONE ELSE, BUT THAT MY CONCERN WITH HOW THE TIME FRAME THAT WE'RE ACCEPTING THIS IN REGARDS TO THE BOND COMMITTEE, WHICH IS ALREADY ACTIVE AND I THINK YOU GUYS WERE SCHEDULED, MAYBE THE NEXT MEETING TO COME PRESENT THIS.
RIGHT. WE'RE UNDECIDED. IT FEELS LIKE HERE AS A AS A COUNCIL ABOUT WHAT THE DECISION WOULD BE. SO I'M NOT SURE HOW WE GET TO THE PROPER WAY OF PRESENTING IT TO THE BOND COMMITTEE SO THAT THEY'RE NOT MAKING A DECISION ON THE SIZE, IF THAT MAKES. AM I MAKING SENSE? SO LIKE THAT THERE'S DOLLAR AMOUNTS HERE AND THEY'RE QUITE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT. SO I JUST FOR ONE I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GIVE THEM ALL A FAIR CHANCE. ONE, THEY MAY DECIDE NONE OF THEM OR ALL OF THEM OR WHATEVER, BUT IT'S LIKE I DON'T WANT THEM TO SAY YAY OR NAY BASED ON THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OR THE LOWEST AMOUNT, BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD CHOOSE. AND I KNOW YOU HAD A QUESTION FOR GARY, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU MY OPINION ON IT JUST QUICKLY, SIR, THE BOND COMMITTEE DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE FACILITY ITSELF. THEY MAKE A DECISION ON THE DOLLARS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE TO IT. BUT, I MEAN, I THINK THE WAY WE'RE PRESENTING IT THIS WAY, I AGREE. I'M SAYING WE NEED BECAUSE THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THE BOND COMMITTEE SITTING HERE THAT THEY MAY THEY MAY ALLOCATE $20 MILLION AND SAY, COUNCIL, YOU GOT TO COME UP WITH SOME LIBRARY FOUNDATION. YOU GOT TO COME UP WITH SOME, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE. SO THAT THAT'S WHAT I ENVISION. GARY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR YOUR THOUGHTS ARE RIGHT. YEAH I THINK YEAH I THINK SO. YOU KNOW, I REALLY KIND OF TALKING ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF LIKE A BUILDING FACILITY HERE TODAY. SO I THINK, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THE KIND OF THE WAY I WAS SEEING IS THAT THAT. YEAH, YOU KNOW, THIS NONE OF THOSE OPTIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE BECAUSE I KNOW, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S ALL THOSE OTHER PRIORITIES WITH THE BOND. AND SO THAT, THAT YEAH, THAT THE BOND COMMITTEE MAY SAY, HEY, LET'S ALLOCATE, YOU KNOW, $20 MILLION TOWARD A PROJECT. AND THEN, YEAH, WE NEED
[00:35:05]
TO ESTABLISH A FOUNDATION, FIND SOME OTHER WAY TO RAISE THAT OTHER MONEY. I THAT'S THAT'S PART OF WHAT I EXPECT, IN ADDITION TO EVERYTHING THAT THE LIBRARY BOARD RECOMMENDED HERE, THOSE THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON TOGETHER. AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS WILL BE, YOU KNOW, JUST THAT WE'LL ADDRESS IN TIME. AND BUT YEAH, IN TERMS OF THE WAY THE FUNDING WOULD HAPPEN FOR A FACILITY, WHETHER OR NOT IT HAPPENS, THAT'S THAT WAS KIND OF THE BIG THE BIG QUESTION MARK, WHAT'S REALLY POSSIBLE. SO I'VE GOT A COMMENT REALLY WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT IS TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION. RIGHT. NOT ABOUT A BUILDING, NOT ABOUT WHAT SIZE OF BUILDING. RIGHT? RIGHT. I THINK THE INPUT FROM THE COMMITTEE IS, YOU KNOW, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.AND IF THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY'RE MAKING IS TO ADD A THIRD OPTION. ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THAT. I LIKE THE OTHER RECOMMENDATION ABOUT INCORPORATING SOME KIND OF FOUNDATION, BUT THOSE ARE FUTURE STATE ITEMS. RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT IS DO WE WANT TO ADOPT THIS AS OUR LIBRARY PLAN AND WORK TOWARDS THAT FUTURE STATE? RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON RIGHT NOW VERSUS WHAT SIZE OF BUILDING SHOULD WE HAVE. RIGHT. EXACTLY. SO NO THANK YOU. THANK YOU COUNCILMAN.
SO THE SO YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S REALLY THE BIGGER POINT IS THAT BECAUSE EVEN JUST ADOPTING THE PLAN THAT EVEN IF WE STAY IN THE SPACE THAT WE'RE IN, IT DOES A LOT FOR US JUST TO HELP US PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. SO I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. YES. YOU SAID THERE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE THIRD OPTION WITH THE 33,000 SQUARE FOOT. WAS THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS THAT, FROM A DIRECTOR'S PERSPECTIVE AND A COMMITTEE PERSPECTIVE THAT WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AND CALL THAT OUT, THAT YOU HAD A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON? NO, I THINK THAT I THINK I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE PLAN, JUST THE SIZE OF THE THIRD. YEAH. IT'S JUST YEAH, THE SIZE OF IT. AND THEN AND I AGREE WITH WHAT WITH THE LIBRARY BOARD RECOMMENDS AS WELL, THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING. AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST I THINK WHERE THEY FALL ON A TIMELINE IS, IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. I THINK WE'VE GOT TIME. YEAH. OH YEAH. FOR SURE, FOR SURE. THANK YOU. YEP.
THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO COMMENT. BUT YEAH JUST VERY QUICKLY I APPRECIATE THE THIRD OPTION. I THINK THAT'S GREAT. THAT WAS ADDED. AND THIS MAY FALL UNDER KIND OF FUTURE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. BUT I LIKE ONE OF THE THINGS I PICKED UP ON, AS YOU SAID, WAS TALKING ABOUT THE KIND OF THE HYBRID SITE WORKING WITH SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS, THE PARKS OR WHATEVER IT HAPPENED TO BE. RIGHT. BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE SITE'S POTENTIALLY A CHALLENGE. AND YEAH, I DON'T WANT TO GO OFF ON A RABBIT TRAIL BECAUSE, LIKE RAY SAID, WE ARE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FOCUSED ON ON THIS PLAN, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT. YEAH.
NO THANK YOU. THAT'S I KNOW THAT WE KNOW THOSE ARE ALL CONSTRAINTS FOR SURE. SO. ALL RIGHT, I THINK WE'VE ANY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OKAY. SO I THINK I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THIS TIME. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RESOLUTION. BUT THEN WE ALSO INCORPORATE SOME OF THE NOT SOME. WE INCORPORATE THE LIBRARY BOARD'S COMMENTARY. SO UNDER SECTION TWO, UNDER SECTION TWO OR HOWEVER, WHATEVER, THE RIGHT WAY TO MAKE THAT WORDING IS, I'M LOOKING AT MARIO, BUT I SHOULD PROBABLY BE LOOKING AT THE TOWN ATTORNEY. YEAH, YEAH, I THINK IT WOULD BE IN SECTION TWO THAT WE WOULD JUST INCORPORATE THE LIBRARY BOARD'S PROPOSALS OR DIRECTION INTO THE INCLUDE THAT IN PART OF THE MASTER PLAN. AND RECOMMEND. YEAH. CORRECT. OKAY.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION? I'LL TRY TO MAKE IT. SO I'D MOVE TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2025 LIBRARY MASTER PLAN. WITH THE INCORPORATION OF THE LIBRARY BOARD'S RECOMMENDATIONS INTO THE DOCUMENT. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND BY AMY BARTLEY. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES. UNANIMOUSLY. UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE. I APPRECIATE THE WORK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GARY. THANK YOU TO OUR LIBRARY BOARD. YES. THANK
[10. Consider and act upon a request to waive the Town’s Drainage System Design Requirements for a wet or underground detention pond for the detention pond on the proposed Prosper ISD Administration Building site. (DLH)]
YOU ALL SO MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WITH THAT, I'D ASK THE COUNCIL'S DISCRETION TO MOVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TEN UP TO OUR NEXT ITEM. THAT'S ACCEPTABLE. ANYBODY OPPOSE THAT? ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. IF THAT THEN THAT ITEM IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A REQUEST TO WAIVE THE TOWN'S DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR A WET OR UNDERGROUND DETENTION POND, FOR THE DETENTION POND ON THE PROPOSED PROSPER ISD ADMINISTRATION BUILDING SITE.DAN HEISMAN TO PRESENT. THANK YOU, MAYOR. COUNCIL. THANK YOU. AS STATED, THIS IS A WAIVER FROM OUR DRAINAGE DESIGN MANUAL REQUIREMENT FOR A WET POND. IN 2017, WE ADOPTED A NEW DRAINAGE
[00:40:06]
DESIGN MANUAL TO KIND OF GIVE YOU GUYS SOME BACKGROUND IN THAT THIS GAVE BETTER GUIDELINES AND GUIDANCE ON DETENTION REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE TOWN OF PROSPER AND COUNCIL. TOM INSTITUTED A WET POND REQUIREMENT. IT COULD BE AN UNDERGROUND OR WET POND, BUT IT ALSO HAD A PROVISION IN THERE TO PROVIDE A REQUEST, A WAIVER, AND IT'S AT COUNCIL'S DISCRETION FOR THAT WAIVER. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS PROPOSED A PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION BUILDING LOCATED OFF OF LAKEWOOD, JUST NORTH OF 380. THERE, THE POND IN QUESTION IS HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN ON THE EXHIBIT. THE PONDS AND THE ONES HIGHLIGHTED IN RED ARE GOING TO BE WET PONDS, OR PROBABLY THEY'RE PROPOSED AS DETENTION PONDS BEING WET, BUT ALSO AMENITY COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. SO VISUALLY THOSE THOSE PONDS, THEY I THINK THEY RECOGNIZE THEY WANT TO MAKE THOSE WATER FEATURES. BUT THE GREEN IS JUST IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY AND REALLY HAS NO ESTHETIC VALUE TO THE TOWN OR THE SITE ITSELF. WE DON'T HAVE ANY DEVELOPMENT PLANS ON THE BACKSIDE, BUT WE DO PLAN IT TO BE. WE DO KNOW IT'S ZONED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THEY ARE PLANNING TO BUFFER IT WITH WITH LANDSCAPING AND OTHER. THEY'VE INCLUDED A SNIPPET OF THEIR LANDSCAPE PLAN WITHIN THE PACKET. SO THIS JUST SHOWS THEIR THEIR THEIR BUFFERING. DUAL SCREENING LIVING SCREENING ON THE NORTH AND EAST SIDE. ON THE SOUTH SIDE. IT REALLY JUST IT OPENS UP TO FLOODPLAIN AS WELL AS AN INNER LAKE AND A NATURAL NATURAL CONSERVATION. SO. GOOD CONSERVATION RESOURCE SERVICE LAKE, SAME LAKE THAT'S UP AT LIKE GENTLE CREEK GOLF CLUB COURSE AMONG THAT. SO THERE'S REALLY YOU WON'T SEE TOO MANY DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT POND. SO THEY ARE SCREENING IT FROM THE POTENTIAL NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISION TO THE NORTH AND EAST. THE APPLICANT IS HERE, BOTH DOCTOR BRADLEY WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AS WELL AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CONSULTANT IS HERE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. SO DO YOU KNOW DO YOU KNOW THE PURPOSE OF MAKING IT THIS WAY? IF WE TALKED TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT IT, IS THERE. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF THEY COST. IS THERE A COST FACTOR IN THAT? WHAT'S THE I LIKE THAT DOCTOR BRADLEY I WOULD ASSUME THERE'S MAINTENANCE ASSOCIATED WITH A WET POND. SO A LOT OF TIMES THE PREVIOUS REQUESTS THAT HAVE COME IN HAVE BEEN MOSTLY WELL IN THAT REQUIRED. IN THAT CASE, I'D LIKE TO WELCOME OUR PISD TEAM, DOCTOR BRADLEY, TO THE PODIUM. THANK YOU. MAYOR, MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL. THANKS FOR. LETTING US THESE QUESTIONS. I HAVE CHRIS SCHMIDT FROM TEAGUE NOLAN PERKINS. HE HE HAS A REAL INFORMATION. I DO JUST WANT TO.OH ALL RIGHT. IT'S NOT A FIRE. I JUST WANT TO SPEAK TO THE GENERAL SITE. AND THEN CHRIS MAY HAVE SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE DRY POND. THIS SITE AS BEING DEVELOPED CURRENTLY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ON THE SCREEN IS THE ADMIN BUILDING. THAT COMMUNITY CENTER HAS AN OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER REPORT COMPONENT TO IT, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING KIDS OVER DURING THE SCHOOL DAY.
RIGHT. AND A PIECE OF THOSE TWO WET PONDS ARE THE PORTION THAT WAS IN RED THERE THAT DAN MENTIONED EARLIER. THAT PIECE IS REALLY ABOUT AN OUTDOOR LEARNING COMPONENT ACTIVITY, KIDS BEING ABLE TO GO AND BE AROUND THE PONDS, TAKE POND WATER, PUT IT UNDER A MICROSCOPE. SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE HAVE ANTICIPATED FOR THAT. THAT WAS ALSO PART OF, AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE 380 BYPASS COMMITTEE. IF YOU REMEMBER, WE TALKED ABOUT WE WANT THE BACKSIDE OF THIS BUILDING TO INCORPORATE TO ANY FUTURE TRAILS OR ANYTHING THAT IS GOING AROUND THAT LAKE THAT MAY ABUT THE, THE, THE HOME DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY OCCUR THERE TO THE EAST. AND SO WE ENVISION THIS BEING AN AMENITY NOT JUST FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, BUT FOR THE, THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
AS THIS SITE DEVELOPS, THE DRY POND, CURRENTLY THERE IS A COST COMPONENT TO IT WITH MAINTAINING IF IT WAS A WET POND, IT'S ALSO SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER. THERE'S A SWELL THAT FALLS OFF THERE ON THAT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, SO IT'S NOT VISIBLE. AND THE OTHER THING THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH IS THE LAND TO THE NORTH OF THE ADMIN BUILDING. I CAN'T TELL YOU TODAY WHAT THAT IS GOING TO BE THERE. THERE IS A BEEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT COULD GO THERE. WE BELIEVE ON THE SOUTHWEST OF PORTION OF THIS SITE, NATATORIUM NUMBER TWO, WE WILL WE BELIEVE WE WILL REQUIRE A SECOND NATATORIUM AND PROSPEROUS D AT SOME POINT. AND SO WE'RE HOLDING THAT LAND AND ACTUALLY OVER PARKING THE ADMIN BUILDING A LITTLE TO ANTICIPATION FOR WHAT WILL BE A NATATORIUM THERE. BUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS? IT COULD BE AN ELEMENTARY, IT COULD BE SOME TYPE OF SERVICE CENTER. IT COULD BE IF WE'VE OBVIOUSLY HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH A NEIGHBORING COMMUNITY ABOUT A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, IF THAT DIDN'T COME THROUGH, THIS IS
[00:45:05]
RESERVED FOR THAT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES THAT COULD GO THERE. AND SO PART OF THE REASON WE DIDN'T WANT TO COMMIT TO DOING SOMETHING TOO MUCH THERE RIGHT NOW IS WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER FOR WHAT THAT FUTURE USE IS. BUT AGAIN, I'LL TRY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR TURN IT OVER TO CHRIS IF YOU HAVE OTHER, OTHER QUESTIONS. YEAH. I GUESS THE QUESTION I WOULD HAVE IS, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES THE DETENTION PONDS IS TO CONTROL THE RUNOFF AND THE, YOU KNOW, THE DRAINAGE AND, YOU KNOW, MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME KIND OF CAVEAT BUILT IN THAT AT A FUTURE STATE, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE DRAINAGE AND PROPER WAYS, OBVIOUSLY YOU WOULD WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THAT ANYWAY. I'D JUST LIKE TO INCORPORATE THAT AND FOR A FUTURE CONSIDERATION THAT, YOU KNOW, SHOULD THERE BE PROBLEMS WITH DRAINAGE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT OF YOU BACK UP TO WETLANDS, RIGHT? YOU BACK UP TO A DIFFERENT TOPOGRAPHY CHANGES THAT. THERE'S SOME KIND OF CAVEAT TO ADDRESS THAT IN THE FUTURE. IF THERE'S ANY ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE PROPOSED, I CAN ADD TO THAT. THAT'S REALLY ANOTHER GOOD REASON TO MAKE THAT A DRY POND IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL VOLUME. SO IT JUST ALLOWS US THAT FLEXIBILITY TO CAPTURE MORE OF THAT. WHEN YOU HAVE A WET POND, YOU HAVE A WATER SURFACE ELEVATION. YOU DON'T REALLY GET CREDIT FOR THAT FROM A DETENTION. IT'S MORE OF AN ESTHETIC, WHICH I THINK WAS THE INTENT ORIGINALLY. BUT IN THIS CASE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE PLENTY OF VOLUME CAPACITY. AND IT'S THE DOCTOR BRADLEY ALLUDED TO. IT'S KIND OF IN THE BACK. IT'S YOU CAN HAVE THE WET POND THERE FROM WHERE YOU SEE IT FROM 380. THIS OTHER POND WILL BE BEHIND THE DAM AND THE BERM. SO YOU REALLY WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE IT FROM ANY OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. IT'LL BE SCREENED AROUND THE RESIDENTIAL. SO THAT'S A GREAT POINT. OKAY, THE LAST THING I'LL COMMENT JUST TO MY PEERS HERE IS FOR WHAT WHAT DETENTIONS. I'VE, YOU KNOW, WANT FOUNTAINS, WANT WET DETENTIONS. THEY'RE MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT THAN DRY DETENTION PONDS. BUT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE MAKES ME A LITTLE BIT BETTER ABOUT THE PROPOSED. SO WITH THAT, I'M OKAY. THANK YOU. GO AHEAD. YEAH. MY ONLY QUESTION WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY, DOCTOR BRADLEY, YOU SAID YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SITE, BUT IS THAT DRY DETENTION POND OR THE DETENTION POND THERE? WOULD THAT BE SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE WHAT WOULD BE BUILT THERE AS WELL? ARE WE LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL NEEDING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL DOWN THE ROAD? NO. CAN WE SAY THE INTENT IS THAT. PARDON ME, I DON'T KNOW THAT OUR OUR DESIGN HANDY, BUT I THINK WE'VE ACCOUNTED FOR A DEVELOPED SITE WITH THE SIZING OF THAT OF THAT POND. SO. SO IT'S A UNIVERSAL. YEAH. YEAH, IT'LL, IT'LL ACCOUNT A DEVELOPED CONDITION. AND I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO BUILD NOW FROM A DETENTION STANDPOINT. SO IT MAY BE OVER, OVER DETAINED. IF THERE'S SOMETHING WITH MORE IMPERVIOUS LAND THERE THAN, THAN WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW WITH OUR PAVING. BUT I THINK WE'RE ACCOUNTING FOR IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH TOWN STANDARDS. OKAY. SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT DOING IT, NEEDING ANOTHER DETENTION SITE SOMEWHERE ON THAT NORTHERN PROPERTY. CORRECT. THE NORTHERN. SO YEAH. PERFECT. THANK YOU.YEAH. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY MY ONLY I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER RAY, SINCE YOU'RE DOING THE WET DETENTION ALREADY, I'M OKAY WITH THE ADDITIONAL POND BEING DRY. HOWEVER, MY CONCERN IS BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN IT IN TOWN OTHERWISE IS MAINTENANCE THERE? THERE IS MAINTENANCE ASSOCIATED WITH IT, KEEPING IT MOWED, KEEPING THE TRASH CLEAR. AND WE'VE HAD ISSUES, CODE ISSUES WITH THAT. SO JUST BE MINDFUL OF JUST, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THE MAINTENANCE IS THERE. I KNOW IT'S TUCKED AWAY, BUT IT DOES MATTER OVER TIME. ABSOLUTELY. NOT. AGAIN, I AM A FAN OF WHAT RETENTION PONDS JUST FOR THE JUST FOR THE LOOK OF IT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THAT THROUGHOUT THE TOWN. BUT IN THIS SITUATION I REALLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. OKAY. IN THAT CASE, WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? I CAN MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER TEN. I'LL SECOND YOU. GOT A MOTION BY BARTLEY, SECOND BY CRAIG. ALL IN FAVOR? ITEM PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL GO BACK NOW TO
[8. Consider and act upon a request for a Preliminary Site Plan for Automobile Service, Convenience Store with Gas Pumps, Daycare, Office, Restaurant, Restaurant with Drive-Through, and Retail Buildings on Prosper Legacy, Blocks D-F, on 22.2± acres, located on the southwest corner of Legacy Drive and Prosper Trail. (DEVAPP-24-0083) (DH)]
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER EIGHT IS CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A REQUEST FOR A PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN FOR AUTOMOBILE SERVICE CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS. DAYCARE, OFFICE, RESTAURANT, RESTAURANT WITH DRIVE THROUGH AND RETAIL BUILDINGS ON PROSPER LEGACY BLOCKS D THROUGH F ON 22 APPROXIMATE ACRES. LOCATED LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF LEGACY AND PROSPER TRAIL. MR. DAVID HOOVER. THANK YOU. MAYOR. COUNCIL. JUST A QUICK RECAP ON THIS. YOU MAY THINK DEJA VU, YOU'VE SEEN IT BEFORE. YOU HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE ABOUT I THINK FIVE WEEKS AGO. NOW, MAYBE THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ODD SITE FROM WHAT WE TYPICALLY HAVE IN A PD DEVELOPMENT. LET ME SCOOCH UP JUST A LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S COMMERCIAL AREA[00:50:07]
AROUND THE OUTSIDE UPSIDE DOWN L, SO TO SPEAK. AND THEN ON THE INSIDE THERE'S A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT. AND WHAT MAKES THIS A LITTLE ODD FROM FROM TYPICALLY WHAT WE HAVE IS THAT RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT. WE DON'T REALLY NEED THAT RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT IS CONSIDERED A USE IN THE RETAIL ZONING, WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING I THINK EXISTS ANYWHERE ELSE IN TOWN. SO IT'S NOT A SEPARATE RESIDENTIAL PIECE WITH A SEPARATE RETAIL PIECE. IT'S THE RESIDENTIAL IS A PERMITTED USE IN THE RETAIL, WHICH IS HOW WE CAME UP WITH THIS. THIS IS ALL THE SAME AT THE BEGINNING. FIRST TIME YOU SAW IT, THERE WERE THESE VARIOUS USES. THESE ARE THE BLOCKS AND THE LOTS THAT ARE ON THE, THE THREE BLOCKS AND THE TYPES OF USES THAT WILL BE THERE. AGAIN, IT JUST TALKS ABOUT RESIDENTIAL ADJACENCY. BUT THERE WERE SEVERAL ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP AT THAT LAST MEETING, AND I FORGOT TO MENTION IT WENT THROUGH. STAFF ORIGINALLY WENT THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, AND IT GOT TO THE COUNCIL. AND THE COUNCIL HAD SEVERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT VARIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT. AND PART OF IT WAS THE ODDITY OF THE RESIDENTIAL BEING A RETAIL COMPONENT. ONE OF THE THINGS WAS THE LANDSCAPE EASEMENT ALONG LEGACY DRIVE, THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN, IT WAS SHOWN AS 25 OF PSP EXCUSE ME, PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN. IT WAS SHOWN AS 25. IT NEEDS TO BE 30.THAT WAS CORRECTED. THERE WAS QUESTIONS ABOUT OPEN SPACE AND WAS THERE GOING TO BE OPEN SPACE IN THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT AS WELL AS THE RETAIL ANSWER WAS YES. AND I CAN SHOW YOU THAT A LITTLE BIT. AS WE MOVE FORWARD, THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG THE ADJACENCY TO STAR TRAIL. AND THIS WAS REALLY KIND OF EXCUSE ME, QUIRKY IN THAT WE TYPICALLY HAVE THE BUFFERS ARE BETWEEN THE RETAIL AND THE RESIDENTIAL. BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT THE RESIDENTIAL PIECE. IS THAT COMMERCIAL OR IS IT RESIDENTIAL. AND SO THEREFORE WHERE WOULD THAT BUFFER GO TO SHIELD OR BUFFER FROM THE EXISTING STAR TRAIL DEVELOPMENT THAT SURROUNDS THE REST OF THIS? AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE WE GOT TO THAT. SAME WITH THE SCREENING WALL. THEN THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DRIVE THRUS ON THE TWO INTERIOR STREETS, DUMPSTER ORIENTATION, AND THEN THE PITCHED ROOF FOR BUILDINGS ADJACENT TO STAR TRAIL AND THAT PARTICULAR THING. BEFORE WE MOVE ON, WE HAVE A PROVISION THAT IF THERE ARE BUILDINGS THAT ARE WITHIN A CERTAIN DISTANCE OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS, THEN THEY CAN'T HAVE A FLAT ROOF. IT'S REALLY WHAT IT GETS TO. IT DOESN'T THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS WHAT THAT PITCH HAS TO BE. IT JUST HAS TO HAVE A MORE OF A WE'LL CALL IT A RESIDENTIAL OR A TRANSITIONAL LOOK, AS OPPOSED TO GENERALLY COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS OR JUST FLAT ROOFS. AND SO WE HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT. SO WHAT HAPPENED? EXCUSE ME, AS A RESULT OF THOSE QUESTIONS, THE APPEALS PROCESS COUNCIL BASICALLY SENT IT BACK TO THE STAFF. STAFF BROUGHT IN THE APPLICANTS. WE HAD A CONVERSATION AND DISCUSSED THESE VARIOUS ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP. AND THIS IS JUST A VERBAL REPRESENTATION OF WHAT OCCURRED.
I ALREADY MENTIONED THE 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE WAS WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE IS OPEN SPACE ON BOTH COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL. THERE'S THE 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER THAT WAS PUT INTO PLAY. THE MASONRY SCREENING WALL WILL BE IN PLAY. ONE OF THE DRIVE THRUS, THE ONE THAT WAS OFF OF STAR MEADOW, WHICH IS THE ONE THAT WAS ALONG LEGACY IS HAS BEEN TOTALLY REMOVED. SO THERE'S JUST THE ONE LEFT THAT WAS ALONG PROSPER TRAIL. THE DUMPSTER. THE COMMENT WAS THAT IT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE SEEN FROM THE HOUSES THAT WERE THE RESIDENTIAL PIECE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. IT WILL BE FLIPPED AROUND. I DON'T BELIEVE IT CHANGED ON THE PICTURE THAT WE'LL SEE, BUT IT WAS PART OF THE REAL SITE PLAN BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS IS PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN. IT'LL BE FLIPPED AROUND AND ADEQUATELY SCREENED WITH THE REQUIRED MASONRY AND LANDSCAPING BUFFERS. AND THEN THERE WOULD BE THE PITCHED ROOFS FOR THE BUILDINGS THAT WERE ADJACENT. SO
[00:55:01]
THIS IS THE REPRESENTATION OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. IT'S THAT COLOR. SORRY, BUT THE TWO ENTRYWAYS, IF YOU NOTICE THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT REALLY IS A BASIC RECTANGLE AS FAR AS THE STREET CONFIGURATION IS CONCERNED. AND THEN THERE'S A CONNECTION THAT GOES NORTH TO PROSPER TRAIL AND A CONNECTION THAT GOES EAST TOWARDS LEGACY. AND THOSE TWO CONNECTING DRIVES WERE THE CONCERN ABOUT THE TRAFFIC FLOW AS FAR AS THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS WERE CONCERNED.AND THE ONE ON THE LEGACY SIDE IS NOW GONE. SO THERE ISN'T A DRIVE THROUGH THERE. THE ONE ON THE NORTH SIDE IS STILL THERE, AND THE LOCATION IS STILL THE SAME, BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE TO PUT THAT DRIVE ON PROSPER TRAIL. AND WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE STAFF LEVEL, THAT THAT'S THE BEST LOCATION FOR IT, BECAUSE IF THERE IS, WE BELIEVE THERE'S ADEQUATE STACKING ON THE SITE. BUT IF IT DOES BACK UP, WE THINK IT'S BETTER IF IT BACKS UP ON THE SMALLER STREET AS OPPOSED TO BACKING UP ONTO PROSPER TRAIL SO THAT ONE OTHER THAN THE ONE GOING AWAY, THAT ONE THAT WAS LEFT DIDN'T GET ADJUSTED. THIS IS JUST A CLOSE UP OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. YOU CAN SEE THE MAIN DUMPSTER THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER IS, IS THE ONE THAT IS ON THE, THE YOUR LEFT SIDE OR THE WEST SIDE OF ROSS DRIVE. IT JUST NEEDS TO BE FLIPPED AROUND. DRIVE THROUGH IS STILL THERE AT THAT LOCATION. THIS IS THE SITE ALONG LEGACY AND YOU CAN SEE THE LANDSCAPING ALONG THERE IS MARKED. IT'S AT 30FT WHERE THE CAN SEE BETTER FROM HERE. THE LANDSCAPING, THE 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND THE MASONRY WALL. INSTEAD OF BEING IN BETWEEN THE WESTERNMOST EDGE ROW OF HOUSES IS IN THIS DEVELOPMENT. EXCUSE ME. IN THE EASTERNMOST ROW OF HOUSES AND STAR TRAIL, THAT LANDSCAPING AND MASONRY WALL HAS ALL BEEN MOVED OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, TO WHERE IT'S BEHIND THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO YOU'LL HAVE THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, YOU'LL HAVE THE SCREENING WALL, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THE 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THAT INTERNAL STREET. AND ALSO IT WAS AS THE HOUSES THAT ARE THERE THAT THAT FACE THAT DIRECTION. THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD SEE AS OPPOSED TO THE BACKS OF THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. SO THAT I BELIEVE SHOWS ALL OF THE CHANGES. OH, AND AGAIN, THE PITCHED ROOFS, YOU CAN SEE THE ONE IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER. THAT BUILDING IS OBVIOUSLY ADJACENT TO STAR TRAIL DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A PITCHED ROOF ON IT. AND THEN THE TWO UP ON THE TOP LEFT, BOTH OF THOSE ARE ADJACENT TO SOME PARTS OF STAR TRAIL. THOSE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE PITCH DEVELOPMENT.
WE'VE NOT SEEN WHAT THE ARCHITECTURE IS GOING TO BE OR WHAT THE PROPOSAL IS GOING TO BE YET, BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS IS A PSP. IT'S NOT A FULL BLOWN SITE PLAN. AND SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF STEPS THAT ARE MISSING. SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHERS ARE INTENDED TO BE OR WOULD BE APPLICANTS HERE. THEY MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, BUT FROM FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE WANTED TO NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN THAT STATED SPECIFICALLY THAT THOSE THREE BUILDINGS, IF YOU WILL, HAD TO HAVE THAT PITCHED ROOF, BUT WE'VE ASSUMED THE OTHERS WILL WILL INTEGRATE. BUT AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR A FACT. SO THAT'S IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR ME, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. OTHERWISE. LIKE I SAID, THE APPLICANT'S HERE. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS MORE SPECIFIC FOR THEM. COUNCILWOMAN BARTLEY HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU. OKAY.
ONE QUESTION. I THINK ONE THING WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE LAST MEETING, TOO, WAS THE HEAD AND PARKING SPACES. IF THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TOWN. YES. OKAY. YES. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO CLARIFY THAT TO YOU AS WELL. THE OTHER I JUST HAVE ONE COMMENT. JUST A CONCERN. I STILL HAVE A CONCERN OF THAT DRIVE THROUGH THAT IS I GUESS, BLOCKING LOT ONE. I'M DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THERE WASN'T A CHANGE THERE, AT LEAST TO ACCOMMODATE, YOU KNOW, A DOUBLE DRIVE THROUGH, AS WE'VE DONE WITH OTHER DEVELOPMENTS. YOU REMEMBER THAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE HERE, BUT IF YOU REMEMBER THE SALAD AND GO OFF OF PRESTON GOING INTO THE KROGER,
[01:00:02]
VERY SIMILAR CONCERNS THAT WE HAD FOR TRAFFIC CIRCULATION, BECAUSE WE'RE APPROVING A DRIVE THROUGH, YOU KNOW, IN THAT LOCATION, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE IF IT'S A DRIVE THROUGH THAT'S PARTICULARLY POPULAR, THERE'S GOING TO BE A HUGE TRAFFIC DISASTER THERE, EITHER IN THE MORNING OR IN THE EVENING WHEN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO COME AND GO OUT OF THIS HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. SO I DO STILL HAVE A VERY BIG CONCERN ABOUT THAT. AND I, AND I WOULD PREFER THE APPLICANT TO DO SOMETHING TO MITIGATE THAT. THE STACKING LOOKS LIKE THERE'S 5 OR 6, AND THEN IT'S GOING TO GO OUT INTO INTO THE DRIVE. SO THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I I'LL LET THEM ANSWER MORE. BUT BUT JUST A QUICK COMMENT. YOU'RE RIGHT. AS FAR AS THE DEPICTION IS CONCERNED, THERE'S JUST FIVE CARS THAT ARE ACTUALLY SHOWN THERE. AND THAT'S BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT OUR ORDINANCE REQUIRES. THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM FOR ANOTHER 5 TO 7 CARS BEFORE IT WOULD BACK OUT ONTO THAT, THAT SIDE STREET. SO WE WE'VE. THOUGHT ABOUT THAT AS FAR AS OUR RECOMMENDATIONS WERE CONCERNED. SO IT'S NOT JUST THE FIVE. THERE'S ALSO A BAILOUT LANE THAT'S IN THERE WHICH I AGREE DOESN'T COUNT FOR STACKING, BUT IT'S THERE. AND IF BY SOME CHANCE IT WOUND UP BEING A WELL-KNOWN CHICKEN TYPE FAST FOOD PLACE, THERE WOULD BE IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T FIT THERE. AND IF IT DID, THEY WOULD REQUIRE SOME ADDITIONAL SPACE BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE TWO LANES AND THE BAILOUT LANE. AND IN ORDER TO PUT ANOTHER DRIVE, THEY'D HAVE TO WIDEN UP WHAT THAT SPACE IS, WHICH WOULD AGAIN ADD MORE STACKING SPACE. BUT THAT'S EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT KNOCK OUT. OH, THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY. AND I JUST USE THAT ONE FOR AN EXAMPLE. THAT'S ALL.YOU KNOW, CORRECT. TO BE GOOD PARTNERS WITH US AND, AND PUT IN THE DOUBLE STACKING LANES AS WELL AS THE, THE PICKUP LANE FOR WHEN YOU ORDER ONLINE AND CAN COME PICK UP. AND THAT SEEMS TO HAVE MITIGATED THE TRAFFIC THERE. WE'VE BEEN THERE WHEN IT'S REALLY BUSY AND IT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T GO OUT INTO THE ENTRANCE. I AGREE THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE KROGER ENTRANCE, SO I I'M STILL GOING TO SAY I HAVE A CONCERN AND I WOULD PREFER THAT THEY FIX THAT BEFORE WE BEFORE. AND I WAS TRYING TO TALK YOU OUT OF IT. NO I'M JUST I'M JUST STATING I LIKE I SAID, WE DON'T KNOW THE BRAND. WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY BUSY. WE HOPE IT'S BUSY.
WE HOPE IT'S VERY SUCCESSFUL. IN THAT CASE, THIS IS NOT THIS IS NOT A GOOD THIS IS NOT A GOOD TRAFFIC FLOW. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. OKAY OKAY. THANK YOU MR. HUBER I APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE TO CONSIDER AND ACT ON THIS PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN. DOES ANYONE HAVE A MOTION? ON THAT? WE CAN MAKE A MOTION TO MAKE IT MAKING SUBJECT TO THE REVISION OF THAT OF THE OF THAT CONFIGURATION FOR THAT DRIVE THROUGH AND MAKE A MOTION. YEAH. SO THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE MODIFICATION OF THE DRIVE THROUGH ON BLOCK E, LOT ONE, SO THAT IT DOESN'T IMPEDE TRAFFIC.
I'LL SECOND OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. THAT MOTION PASSES.
YOU'RE THAT MOTION PASSES 5 TO 1. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I THOUGHT I SAW YOUR HAND. NO IT DIDN'T, IT DIDN'T. NO. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER NINE

BLUE STAR, THEY WERE ABLE PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, GO OUT AND SECURE THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE SOUTHBOUND LANES. THEY'VE CONSTRUCTED QUITE A BIT OF THE SOUTHBOUND LANES FURTHER NORTH THAT MADE THAT CONNECTION SHORTER. AND WE TOOK THEIR DESIGN PLANS FOR THAT SOUTHBOUND AND INCORPORATED THOSE INTO SOME NORTHBOUND PLANS THAT WE HAD. SO WE COULD DO THIS PROJECT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FIRST STREET PROJECT. AS I MENTIONED, WE ALREADY HAD THE ASPHALT CONNECTION PLAN, AND WE ANTICIPATE AT THAT TIME A ROAD CLOSURE ABOUT 30 DAYS. WITH THIS PROJECT. WE WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT OPTIONS GOING, WHAT CAN WE DO TO CONSTRUCT THIS? AND WE TWO OPTIONS WE LOOKED AT FIRST IS IF WE KEEP THE TRAFFIC OPEN AND HAVE A DETOUR. SO AT LEAST YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF LEGACY TO CONNECT TO FIRST STREET. AND THEN WE LOOKED AT THE OTHER OPTION WAS WHAT IT WOULD TAKE, JUST, YOU KNOW, THE COST TO CLOSE IT COMPLETELY, GET IN THERE AND GET THE WORK DONE. SO LOOKING AT THE FIRST OPTION WITH THE DETOUR, I THINK THE STAFF REPORT SHOWS THAT'S ABOUT A $400,000 ADD FOR REALLY ABOUT A FOUR MONTH CLOSURE. SO WE REALLY THOUGHT, WELL, LET'S LOOK CLOSER AT THE SECOND OPTION. WHILE THERE'S CONCERN WITH CLOSING THIS ROAD IN THIS INTERSECTION, WHAT WAS REALLY EYE OPENING IS WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE ATTENDANCE ZONES FOR THE SCHOOL. YOU CAN SEE HERE REALLY THE BOUNDARIES AND WHERE THAT GREEN DOT IS OR WHERE THE ROAD CLOSURE IS. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ELEMENTARY ZONE, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC KIND OF HAVING TO GO THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION FROM ONE NEIGHBORHOOD TO ANOTHER TO GET TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, SIMILAR WITH OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL BOY, THAT WORKED OUT JUST PERFECT RIGHT THERE ON THE CORNER. AGAIN, YOU'RE NOT HAVING PEOPLE FROM WINDSONG HAVING TO GO TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IN THAT AREA, AND THEN ALSO THE HIGH SCHOOL AS WELL. YOU'VE GOT THAT THAT NOW THAT WILL CHANGE COME THIS FALL. BUT THE PLAN IS RIGHT NOW THE SCHEDULE FOR THIS IS TO ACTUALLY CLOSE THE ROAD USING THAT OPTION. TWO STARTING FRIDAY, MARCH 21ST. AND SO FROM THAT POINT ON, WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT CLOSURE TILL THE END OF JULY OF 2025. THE COST FOR THAT, LIKE I MENTIONED, THE WITHOUT THIS IS ACTUALLY THE WITH THE DETOUR. YOU SEE IT'S 2.3 MILLION. WITHOUT THE DETOUR IT'S 1.9 MILLION. AND I DO WANT TO POINT OUT LET ME GO BACK ONE MORE. THE 1.9 MILLION IS THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC CONTROL DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE IN THERE IN CASE WE ARE ABLE TO GET LET'S SAY WE BUILD THE NORTHBOUND SIDE FIRST. YOU KNOW, MAYBE WITHIN LIKE 2 OR 3 MONTHS OF THE CONSTRUCTION, IT MAKES SENSE TO OPEN UP ONE SIDE. WE GOT ABOUT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN TO DO THAT VERSUS WAITING TILL ALL FOUR LANES ARE DONE TO OPEN IT UP. BUT OUR TEN RIGHT NOW, IF THINGS GO WELL, TO JUST OPEN IT ALL UP AT ONE TIME. ON THE FUNDING AGAIN, THE ALMOST $2 MILLION, JUST OVER A MILLION OF THAT IS A BLUE STAR WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR STAR TRAIL. SO THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT PORTION, WHICH LEAVES OUR PARTICIPATION ON THAT AT ABOUT $880,000. AND AGAIN, THE PLAN WITH YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT IS IF APPROVED, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD MARCH 21ST AND BE DONE BY THE END OF JULY. AND I HAVE BRAD MEISLER HERE WITH SINACOLA. IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MYSELF OR NICOLE, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. JUST HOW HOW LONG IS THAT SECTION? I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT 1200 FEET. LET'S SEE HERE. SO THE STAR TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS, I THINK THEY'RE ABOUT 1200 FEET, WHICH THEY'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT LONGER SECTION ON THAT EXHIBIT THERE, THE SOUTHBOUND LANES. SO THAT'S THE LONGEST STRETCH. AND I BELIEVE OUR SECTION IS ABOUT 900FT. SO IT'S OFFSET A LITTLE BIT. BUT YOU KNOW, APPROXIMATELY 1200 FEET FROM THE INTERSECTION TO COMPLETE. AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE I PASS ON A QUESTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER REEVES IN TERMS OF WHO COULDN'T BE WITH US TONIGHT, JUST IS THERE ANY OTHER ANY WAY WE COULD OFFER A BONUS TO GET IT DONE QUICKER? SO. AND I'LL LET I'LL LET THE YEAH, YEAH. TO LESSEN THE PAIN. I'M SURE I'M SURE BRAD WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK AND SHARPEN HIS PENCIL AND WE CAN DEFINITELY. MY OTHER QUESTION TOO IS LIKE TIME OF YEAR, YOU KNOW, LIKE, WHY ARE WE STARTING IT IN MARCH WITH THE EYE? AND I THINK I'M GOING TO ANSWER THAT. SO IT GETS DONE BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. YEAH.OKAY. THAT'S THE REASON FOR IT. YEAH. AND WE DID LOOK AT ALL THE PAIN DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. SO YOU'RE REALLY NOT LOOKING FOR SOMETHING YOU. OH YEAH. THAT'S GOOD. YEAH. AND WHAT I DID MENTION WAS WITH PROSPER TRAIL OPENED BETWEEN LEGACY AND TEAL. THAT KIND OF GAVE US A LITTLE BIT OF COMFORT. AND WITH THE SCHOOL ZONE BOUNDARIES THAT EXIST TODAY, THINKING, OKAY, WE CAN START IT BEFORE SCHOOL LETS OUT. BUT KNOWING THAT THE ULTIMATE DEADLINE IS HAVE IT DONE BEFORE SCHOOL OPENS. SO SORRY. ONE MORE QUESTION. HOW MUCH SHOULD WE SPEND ON THE
[01:10:08]
SOUTHBOUND LANES? ASPHALTED ASPHALT? THAT WAS 251 200. YEAH, IT'S 250. THAT'S TEMPORARY.THAT'S CHARLES. HE'LL REMEMBER. HE'LL REMEMBER IT EXACTLY. IS 250. SORRY, I'M JUST MAKING.
YES. SO YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION. COMMUNICATION WITH ISD AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS. HOW WHAT'S THAT COMMUNICATION BEEN UP TO THIS POINT? ACTUALLY, I WAS A LITTLE SHOCKED. WE HAD OUR BOND COMMITTEE. ONE OF THE RESIDENTS THERE LIVES IN THAT AREA. AND AFTER OUR MEETING, I WENT UP TO HIM. I SAID, YOU'RE REALLY NOT GOING TO LIKE ME. I'M GETTING READY TO CLOSE THAT INTERSECTION DOWN. SHE'S LIKE, OH GOD, PLEASE CLOSE THIS. GO. LET'S GET IT.
LET'S GET IT DONE. SO IT'S A HORRIBLE BACK. SO I'M HOPING THAT'S A LOT OF THE SENTIMENT. I KNOW THERE'S SAFETY CONCERNS OR JUST PEOPLE GETTING FRUSTRATED THE WAY IT'S CONFIGURED NOW, BUT THE THING WE GOT TO REMEMBER IS THE MILESTONE THAT THEY'RE GETTING READY TO HIT THAT MARCH 21ST. THEY'RE MOVING EVERYBODY TO THE SOUTH SIDE. SO EVEN IN THIS CONTRACT WE HAVE TODAY TO DO THE ASPHALT CONNECTION, THERE WAS GOING TO BE A TIME PERIOD THAT WAS CLOSED. IT'S ABOUT 30 DAYS. THIS THIS ROUGHLY IS POTENTIALLY FOUR MONTHS. SO OKAY. SO THE OTHER IS I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A COMMITMENT THAT WE THIS DOESN'T SET US BACK ON ANY OTHER FIRST STREET IMPROVEMENTS, BECAUSE THAT'S THE REGULAR EMAIL THAT I GET IS WHEN IS THAT GOING TO BE DONE. SO I KEEP TELLING THEM IT'S ON TIME. SO DEFINITELY YEAH, THIS THIS THIS IS THIS IS KIND OF ICING ON THE TOP HERE. YEAH. AND I THINK WHEN THEY SHIFT TRAFFIC LIKE I SAID IN MARCH TO THE SOUTH SIDE, I THINK THAT'LL BE A VAST IMPROVEMENT. YEAH. IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD USE OF APPROPRIATE FUNDS OF, OF RESOURCES THAT ARE THERE AND AVAILABLE. THIS CONTRACTOR HAS DEMONSTRATED THEY CAN GET IT STUFF, GET STUFF DONE. SO IS THIS JUST A QUESTION? IS THIS DIVIDED? IS THERE A MEDIAN OR IS IT. YEAH IT'LL BE DIVIDED MEDIAN. SO IT'LL BE FOUR LANES.
IT'S GOING TO BE CONCRETE OR PERMANENT. THE FOUR LANE DIVIDED OKAY. AND THEN YOU KNOW ULTIMATELY IT'LL BE A SIX LANE SOMEDAY. BUT YES IT WILL BE THE ULTIMATE SECTION. ALL THE LANDSCAPING WILL BE IN PLACE. ALL THE LANDSCAPING WILL BE IN PLACE WHEN IT OPENS. RIGHT? I BELIEVE ON THIS ONE. WE DIDN'T DO ANY LANDSCAPING JUST BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING DEVELOPED THERE.
KIND OF SIMILAR WE DID WITH FIRST STREET. OKAY. YEAH. SO LIKE FIRST STREET, WE HAD, YOU KNOW, IN THE AREAS WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT ALREADY THERE. WE WERE CONCERNED WITH PUTTING LANDSCAPING IN. YEAH. BECAUSE OF THE FUTURE MEDIAN OPENING CONSTRUCTION OR TURN LANES NOT KNOWING WHERE THOSE WERE. OKAY. SO THIS WILL JUST I BELIEVE WE'RE JUST DOING SOD IN THE MEDIAN, SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE OUT ON FIRST STREET RIGHT TODAY. OKAY. JUST IN SOME OTHER AREAS OF TOWN, I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN MEDIANS THAT HAVE WERE WAITING FOR DEVELOPMENT, BUT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN MEETINGS HAVE NOT BEEN LANDSCAPED. AND SO IT JUST RAISES A LOT OF QUESTIONS AS FAR AS WHEN AND WHERE AND, AND ALL THAT KIND OF THING. SO ANYWAY, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE WAITING FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND ALL THAT STUFF. I JUST CURIOUS AS TO IF THAT WOULD GET HANDLED, BUT OKAY. YEAH, THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. REALLY. I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT. IT'LL BE IT'LL BE ONE WAY TO PROBABLY SEE IP SUBCOMMITTEE LIKE WE DID ON SOME OTHER MEDIAN PROJECTS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. FUTURE YEARS. SO I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU WITH, IF THIS GOES THROUGH WHERE THE ROADBLOCKS GOING TO BE TO BLOCK THE TRAFFIC GOING SOUTH, IS IT PROPOSED? I MEAN, I'M LOOKING AT YOUR IMAGE WITH THE GREEN AND THE RED BECAUSE I IMAGINE THIS IS A FORCE OF HABIT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF 18 WHEELERS AND TRUCKS THAT DRIVE DOWN THAT, THAT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TURN AROUND. SO ARE WE BLOCKING IT OFF FURTHER NORTH? AND PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE SOUTH TO NORTH? I JUST I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BECAUSE YEAH, WE DEFINITELY IF YOU START GOING SOUTH, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TURN AROUND. YEAH. I BELIEVE THE SOUTHBOUND LANE THAT GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO STARWOOD DRIVE, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S OPEN TODAY. I THINK YOU JUST HAVE THE NORTHBOUND LANES THAT'S SERVING AS A TWO WAY TRAFFIC. BLUE STAR HAS BUILT THAT THAT LEFT SIDE OR THAT WEST SIDE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE UP TO STARWOOD? YEAH. SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO TURN AROUND AT THAT INTERSECTION. THERE WON'T BE IT WON'T BE A DIVIDED SECTION IF THAT MAKES SENSE TO THEIR. SO THEY'LL HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ENOUGH ADVANCE WARNING NOT TO GO SOUTH OF STARWOOD DRIVE. YEAH. SO I THINK JUST EVEN THE, THE NEIGHBORHOODS, YOU KNOW THAT FEED OUT ONTO THAT NORTH AND SOUTH BOUND. YES. YOU ALMOST PROBABLY GONNA BE CLOSING AT STARWOOD CLOSE CLOSE BASICALLY LIKE LEGACY DRIVE UP TO STARWOOD, ALL THE ENTRANCES FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE IT IS JUST BECAUSE ALL THOSE NEIGHBORS, THOSE THERE'S ACCESS FROM STARWOOD TO THOSE NEIGHBOR OR THOSE PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH. AND HOW WE COMMUNICATED THAT, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE AND MAYBE THEY'LL APPRECIATE IT. BUT FOR THOSE THAT HAVE A TENDENCY TO DRIVE SOUTH TO GET ON FIRST OR GO TO THE TOLLWAY, THEY NEED TO KNOW THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO LOOP THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. YEAH, WE'VE GOT A PUBLIC WORKS ARE GOING TO BE PUTTING A MESSAGE BOARD OUT. I BELIEVE I HAVE IT OUT BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, KIND OF NOTIFYING AT LEAST THE PEOPLE GOING SOUTHBOUND ON LEGACY TODAY, WILSON AND COMMUNICATIONS IS WORKING ON REALLY GETTING THE
[01:15:03]
WORD OUT THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS. BLUE STAR IS GOING TO BE SHARING IT WITH THEIR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. SO WITH THE APPROVAL TONIGHT, WE'LL MAKE SURE TO BLAST ALL THAT INFORMATION OUT TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE. AND IT'LL ALSO CALL OUT THE DETOURS. I LIKE COUNCILMEMBER REEVE'S IDEA OF. ACCELERATORS. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM? I THINK JEFF'S WORKING HIS WAY AND JEFF'S WORKING HIS WAY TOWARDS IT. AS SOON AS IT POPS UP HERE, I MOVED TO APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER FOUR FOR CSP 2022 DASH 51 B TO MARIO SINACOLA AND SONS EXCAVATING INCORPORATED.
