WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.780 Good afternoon and welcome to the City of Denton's Planning and Zoning Commission meeting 00:00:06.780 --> 00:00:10.520 for Wednesday, June 14th, 2023. 00:00:10.520 --> 00:00:15.760 This is our work session and with the quorum present, I will call us to order at 530 p.m. 00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:20.800 First item on our work session is citizen comment on consent agenda. 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:27.680 I do not see anyone here for that, so we will move to clarification on tonight's agenda 00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:30.400 for our public meeting. 00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.440 So Commission, any questions on the minutes for the 24th of May? 00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:43.120 How about on the consent agenda? 00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:44.120 Commissioner McDade? 00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:48.120 Yes, I just, what number is that? 00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.120 B. 00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:50.120 3B? 00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:52.880 Yeah, I just wanted to ask Julie. 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.160 We'll get Julie up here and she can take your question. 00:00:56.160 --> 00:00:57.160 Hi, Julie. 00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:05.500 Let me pull up the plat so we can take a look at it. 00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:06.500 All right. 00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:07.500 How can I help you? 00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:15.120 Well, okay, now, some of the residents who live in that area, they were unsure about 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.760 what was being built on that property. 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:21.200 I know it pretty much happened during the pandemic, so they didn't get a lot of the 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.680 information and I think this is the one they brought to me. 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.080 They weren't sure, but then when I saw the mill in Johnson, I'm thinking this is the 00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:31.960 one they were asking about and I told them I'd try to get all the information I could. 00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:32.960 Absolutely. 00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:37.520 So this is a property that has a single family dwelling on it. 00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:41.480 It's actually two lots that they're just replatting into one lot. 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.840 The single family home that is on the property will remain. 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:53.280 They did build an accessory structure on that second lot, and so this replat will just put 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.240 it all into one lot so that that building that was recently constructed will just be 00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:00.720 an accessory structure to that single family home. 00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:01.720 Okay. 00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:03.040 Use isn't changing on the property. 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:04.040 All righty. 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:05.040 Thank you. 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.040 You bet. 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.040 Thanks, Julie. 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.840 Any other questions on consent? 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.040 Okay. 00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:14.920 Let's move to items for individual consideration. 00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:20.160 We've got 4A, PP230014, which belongs to Sean. 00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:22.240 How are you, Sean? 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:23.400 I'm doing well. 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.640 Good evening, Chair and members of the Commission. 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:38.880 This is a proposed preliminary plat for the Mayhill addition, which is off Mayhill. 00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:45.440 They do not currently meet our standards for approval, and so therefore we are recommending 00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:51.400 denial, but I have no objection to the request of 30-day extension to June 28th. 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.480 Questions for Sean on this one? 00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:55.480 Thank you very much. 00:02:55.480 --> 00:02:56.480 Mm-hmm. 00:02:56.480 --> 00:02:57.480 You staying up here for 4B? 00:02:57.480 --> 00:02:58.480 Yes, ma'am. 00:02:58.480 --> 00:02:59.480 Okay. 00:02:59.480 --> 00:03:00.480 You got it. 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:01.480 PP230012. 00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:02.480 Yes. 00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:09.280 So this is a proposed preliminary plat for the Sage Creek townhomes that is near Latimore. 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:16.080 They are also not yet meeting our criteria, recommending denial, but perfectly happy with 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.480 the 30-day extension. 00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:22.480 Thank you, Sean. 00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:23.480 Appreciate it, Chair. 00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:31.720 That'll move us to 4C, PP230013, and that is Julie's item. 00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:34.240 Good evening, Julie Wyatt. 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.960 This is a preliminary plat for a single-family residential neighborhood. 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:43.660 It's a second phase of a residential development that you may remember from a few years ago. 00:03:43.660 --> 00:03:46.100 It is on the south side of McKinney. 00:03:46.100 --> 00:03:48.200 As I mentioned, this is just phase two of it. 00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:53.500 It had a preliminary plat that was approved in, I believe, 2019. 00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:59.880 It has since expired, so they're just coming back with a new preliminary plat. 00:03:59.880 --> 00:04:05.080 Oh, we are recommending denial, sorry. 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:06.080 We are recommending denial. 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.660 They still have a few more things that they need to correct. 00:04:09.660 --> 00:04:14.040 We have no objection to their requested extension to June 28th. 00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:15.040 Okay. 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:16.800 Any questions for Julie? 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:17.800 Okay. 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:18.800 Thank you. 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:19.800 Thank you. 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.000 That'll move us to 4D. 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.320 It's PE230003, Angie. 00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:28.320 Hi. 00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:29.320 Good evening. 00:04:29.320 --> 00:04:31.280 Angie Mangler, Senior Planner. 00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:38.480 Just a second, I'm going to switch over. 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:45.580 This is a plat extension request for a preliminary plat for Habitat Village. 00:04:45.580 --> 00:04:52.460 This preliminary plat was originally approved for this project in July of 2021 per the DDC. 00:04:52.460 --> 00:04:55.680 Our preliminary plots are valid for two years. 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:01.560 They are working towards platting or the civil engineering plans for phase one of their development, 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:06.840 which includes about 18 lots of the 35 total that were proposed as part of this plan development. 00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:11.440 However, they're not quite there yet in advance of the preliminary plat expiring. 00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:16.080 They are requesting their plat extension, which the DDC allows the Planning and Zoning 00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:19.220 Commission to extend for up to a year. 00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:24.400 So staff has no objections to the requested plat extension as the applicant's been making 00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:28.320 progress forward on this and anticipates having the final plat submitted in the next couple 00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:34.400 months following the approval of the CEPs. 00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:37.360 Thank you, Angie. 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:38.360 Thank you so much. 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:39.360 Thank you. 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.360 All right. 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.040 Both of our public hearings tonight have been postponed, and I was informed we're taking 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.080 no action on either one, so we won't have to open either hearing. 00:05:47.080 --> 00:05:50.160 They'll be re-noticed when they come back to us. 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:51.160 Okay. 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.560 So then that will take us to our work session report, which will be receive a report, hold 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:01.480 a discussion regarding the implementation of the Denton 2040 Comp Plan. 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:02.480 Hi, Ron. 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:03.480 Good afternoon. 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:04.480 Good afternoon. 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:05.480 Evening. 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:06.480 Chair, members of the Commission. 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:13.240 I'll pull up the presentation real quick. 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:21.200 All right, Ron Megiddo, Principal Planner with Development Services, excited to be here 00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:27.720 to share with you some of the activities and results that we have been working on towards 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:33.160 the implementation of the Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan. 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:40.640 So as you all know, about a year ago, roughly March of 2022, the city updated their Comprehensive 00:06:40.640 --> 00:06:45.500 Plan, and it's the Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and as part of that Comprehensive Plan, 00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:47.860 there are a number of action items. 00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:55.680 Those action items are compiled and put together under the action plan, which is in the back 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.120 of the Comprehensive Plan. 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.960 So for those that are familiar with the Comprehensive Plan, it's in the back, and it has all of 00:07:01.960 --> 00:07:07.840 the actions that we will be discussing or part of what we will be discussing this evening. 00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:14.760 So in the body of the Comprehensive Plan, there are 548 actions. 00:07:14.760 --> 00:07:21.200 Those 548 actions are then further synthesized and included in the action plan, which is 00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:26.400 now less to 253 key actions. 00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:32.920 So if you can imagine, basically, if there are multiple actions that have very similar 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:40.480 goals, they're put into smaller action groupings, and that, again, that is the 253 key actions 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:41.480 that we have. 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:48.380 Now, those 253 actions are further categorized under the elements that we have in the Comprehensive 00:07:48.380 --> 00:07:58.400 Plan, that is the land use, the parks, mobility, infrastructure, community, and economic as 00:07:58.400 --> 00:07:59.400 well. 00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:05.920 So those are elements, and so, again, they're further categorized under those elements. 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.340 Those key actions are given a timeframe for when they are to be implemented. 00:08:11.340 --> 00:08:18.000 So we try to identify which key actions should occur during the short term, which is between 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.640 now and three years, midterm, which is three to five years, and then long term beyond five 00:08:23.640 --> 00:08:24.640 years. 00:08:24.640 --> 00:08:28.080 But we also identify that there are some key actions that are just ongoing. 00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:32.960 So they don't have set timeframes, but we know that they're going to be ongoing throughout 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.160 the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. 00:08:36.160 --> 00:08:42.140 So the action plan or the Comprehensive Plan as a whole is our framework in which the decision 00:08:42.140 --> 00:08:47.720 making body, you guys, as an example, will use the Comprehensive Plan as the basis for 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:56.160 making your decisions with regards to applications, either through development, but also budgetary 00:08:56.160 --> 00:08:57.440 ones as well for city council. 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:03.560 So again, the framework in which the bodies of the city use for decision making. 00:09:03.560 --> 00:09:09.960 It also provides a task list for the departments and other entities, public entities as well, 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:16.140 where they use the Comprehensive Plan to use to identify what tasks are needed to be accomplished. 00:09:16.140 --> 00:09:22.360 And so the Comprehensive Plan is a very important document, which the community uses, again, 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:28.220 for a lot of what we're looking to do to implement for the future of DEN. 00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:32.400 So I use that as a background to kind of give you an idea of what we are going to be going 00:09:32.400 --> 00:09:33.400 over. 00:09:33.400 --> 00:09:38.320 Again, the 253 key actions is what we have. 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:43.520 Those 253 actions, as I listed earlier or named earlier, these are the elements. 00:09:43.520 --> 00:09:50.360 And this table here illustrates how many key actions are included by the element. 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.520 I just wanted to point out, I'm not going to go through all of this, but just community 00:09:54.520 --> 00:09:58.400 character has 45 key actions. 00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:02.200 It's the highest one, and it has a lot of them under that element. 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:06.760 The second to that is parks, conservation, and environment. 00:10:06.760 --> 00:10:10.760 And then following that is infrastructure and utilities, which is down here. 00:10:10.760 --> 00:10:15.120 So I'm not to say that the other ones don't have important ones, but I just want to point 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:21.400 out that those are the three elements that have the most key actions in them or under 00:10:21.400 --> 00:10:24.480 that category. 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.040 So we're going to start with land use. 00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:36.400 And before we get to land use, in your backup, we provided to you two groupings or two lists. 00:10:36.400 --> 00:10:42.880 The first list is the major accomplishments that the city has done since the adoption 00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:46.760 of the update, which is, again, March of 2022. 00:10:46.760 --> 00:10:51.040 That list is provided, I believe, as exhibit two. 00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:57.240 And then the other list is our ongoing projects and programs that the city is working on. 00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:02.800 And when I say city, I mean the entire city, city departments, from planning to police 00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:06.880 to community services, everyone involved in the implementation. 00:11:06.880 --> 00:11:08.160 And again, that's exhibit three. 00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:12.760 So I won't go through all of them because there's a lot of those actions. 00:11:12.760 --> 00:11:18.240 I wanted to, at this presentation, just highlight some of the major accomplishments, also some 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:23.000 of the ongoing projects and programs that, again, the city is working on. 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:28.480 So in this presentation, we will cover the major accomplishments and the ongoing programs 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.480 and projects by elements. 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.560 So the first element is land use. 00:11:33.560 --> 00:11:38.860 So starting off with land use, this slide here illustrates the two major accomplishments 00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:41.880 that the city accomplished since the adoption. 00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:43.400 I'll start with the first one. 00:11:43.400 --> 00:11:49.760 And the first one is the MUDs, which is this exhibit here that I am sure you all are familiar 00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:50.760 with. 00:11:50.760 --> 00:11:55.760 The city adopted a policy in which we are going to review MUDs. 00:11:55.760 --> 00:12:00.480 So that was one of the key actions that is listed in the comprehensive plan. 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.800 And we accomplished that in October, I believe, of 2022. 00:12:05.800 --> 00:12:12.280 In addition to the MUD policy, we also started the implementation or the creation of the 00:12:12.280 --> 00:12:15.480 area plans that, again, was in our comprehensive plan. 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:22.960 One of the major implementation strategies that we identified early in the update. 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:29.880 So you see that we have three that we are looking at in the city council on April, I 00:12:29.880 --> 00:12:36.800 believe, of 2022, prioritized the three that you see up here, and those are the northeast, 00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:40.840 the southeast, and the downtown plan update. 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:48.720 In regards to where they are currently, that is, the northeast is probably halfway through 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:49.720 the process. 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:54.120 We are in phase three of the process of creating the area plan. 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.360 Southeast just got started. 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:59.560 So they are in the initial stage of public engagement and public input. 00:12:59.560 --> 00:13:01.840 For downtown, we have not yet started that. 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.080 That is coming up. 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:09.440 In fact, the contract for that consultant to help with the downtown is set later this 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.440 month. 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:15.400 So hopefully when that occurs, we will then start the update of the downtown, which will 00:13:15.400 --> 00:13:21.640 go through the year up to, I believe, May is when we are looking at the actual completion 00:13:21.640 --> 00:13:22.640 of that. 00:13:22.640 --> 00:13:27.800 So there is a lot of work associated with that, as well as the others. 00:13:27.800 --> 00:13:34.360 You can see that the implementation of the comprehensive plan involves the creation of 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.540 these area plans and others. 00:13:38.540 --> 00:13:40.920 This list here, I won't go through all of them. 00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:46.440 I already kind of mentioned the major accomplishments with regards to number two and three under 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.060 major accomplishments. 00:13:48.060 --> 00:13:56.560 We also did a code amendment as well earlier of the previous year in which we amended the 00:13:56.560 --> 00:13:59.760 public own and manage drills section of the code. 00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:01.980 Again, that is a major accomplishment. 00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:06.480 The list below that are the projects and programs that we are currently working on. 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:10.300 And again, I won't go through all of them, but again, we have highlighted some already 00:14:10.300 --> 00:14:13.620 with the update to the downtown master plan. 00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:18.380 The creation of the northeast and southeast area plans. 00:14:18.380 --> 00:14:23.640 We continue to work and coordinate with other departments in relationship to the development 00:14:23.640 --> 00:14:29.820 of the city in terms of land use applications and so forth. 00:14:29.820 --> 00:14:38.440 So there is a lot going on with the implementation in relationship to the land use element. 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:42.540 The next element is the fiscal and economic vitality. 00:14:42.540 --> 00:14:48.500 I highlighted here the economic development strategic plan which is what our economic development 00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:55.300 department is using in terms of implementing certain programs and projects. 00:14:55.300 --> 00:15:02.320 The logos that you see to the right are our partners in this effort with the economic 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:07.220 development partnership, the den chamber of commerce as well as discovered den all play 00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:14.480 an integral part in implementing the actions that are within the den 2040 comprehensive 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:15.480 plan. 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:21.060 And again, a lot of the information or key actions that are listed relate back to these 00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:26.660 individual groups, but also as it relates to the implementation or the work that is 00:15:26.660 --> 00:15:32.940 being done under the economic development strategic plan. 00:15:32.940 --> 00:15:38.460 All of the accomplishments I wanted to highlight is the first is the establishment of the physical 00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:39.740 impact analysis tool. 00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:45.060 I think this is something that the city wanted to have and I know that some of you may have 00:15:45.060 --> 00:15:47.300 already seen some of them. 00:15:47.300 --> 00:15:53.020 This tool was just created and we're using it as a way of providing additional information 00:15:53.020 --> 00:15:57.260 and data as you guys look over certain applications. 00:15:57.260 --> 00:16:05.900 SUP zoning cases, PDs, you'll see that there is an exhibit that provides the physical impact 00:16:05.900 --> 00:16:13.400 analysis results and that is again something that we implemented in 2022. 00:16:13.400 --> 00:16:19.260 Also completion of roadway funding strategy between the capital improvements, sorry capital 00:16:19.260 --> 00:16:26.060 projects and our finance department, they've developed the funding strategy in which they 00:16:26.060 --> 00:16:31.460 are looking at how to fund a lot of the work that is being done for the next 40 years, 00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:39.100 so that has been done and that is being applied in all the work that's being done under public 00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:41.980 works and capital projects. 00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:46.260 So in terms of the other projects and programs that the city is working on, again I won't 00:16:46.260 --> 00:16:50.540 go through all of them, but I just wanted to list those that are listed here that provide 00:16:50.540 --> 00:16:56.900 a little bit more detail, I think I would probably want to focus on the promotion of 00:16:56.900 --> 00:17:02.340 historic preservation, I think we always think of historic preservation as obviously preserving 00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:06.940 our historical resources, but it's also a form of economic development. 00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:15.100 So with Cameron's help in working with economic development, there's a lot of activities related 00:17:15.100 --> 00:17:20.700 to some of the key actions that are in the comprehensive plan that they're working towards 00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:21.780 implementing. 00:17:21.780 --> 00:17:28.260 I know that Cameron's work includes a couple of things and I think we'll highlight it in 00:17:28.260 --> 00:17:35.720 the next chapter or element, but I know that working with the downtown and the preservation 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:42.220 of those buildings as well as the historic districts, all of which help in our efforts 00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:46.360 to strengthen the city's economy. 00:17:46.360 --> 00:17:55.180 Some of the other things I'd like to focus on as well is the utilization of catalyst 00:17:55.180 --> 00:18:01.860 fund for those that are not familiar, our director Wayne Emerson is working on this 00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:08.700 catalyst fund, it's a way of having funds available for promotion but also ways of incentivizing 00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:13.100 some of the strategies that they're using again under the strategic plan that they have, 00:18:13.100 --> 00:18:18.780 so that's something that's just started, so again, work being done again ultimately to 00:18:18.780 --> 00:18:22.940 help implement the key actions that are in our comprehensive plan. 00:18:22.940 --> 00:18:27.900 Community capture, so this is where I- Ron, hang on just a second please. 00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:28.900 Sure. 00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:29.900 Commissioner Anderson. 00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:31.380 I have a quick question, thank you Chair. 00:18:31.380 --> 00:18:35.980 About the roads, you said that there's money been set aside for certain roads, is that 00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:36.980 right? 00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:42.540 The roadway funding strategy, you said they've allocated funds or something like that? 00:18:42.540 --> 00:18:53.420 Oh yes, so all of the fundings that our capital projects has, they have funding through bond 00:18:53.420 --> 00:19:01.020 packages and those sorts, there's a strategy in which how they are allocated and funded. 00:19:01.020 --> 00:19:05.020 Can you tell me when they're going to fix South Locust and South town? 00:19:05.020 --> 00:19:08.180 You're talking about bringing businesses- I drive there every day. 00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:09.180 And economic development. 00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:10.180 It's horrible. 00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:11.180 It is horrible. 00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:12.180 And Eagle, let's add Eagle to that. 00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:15.660 I have friends in Lantana, I have friends in South Denton, they won't come into Denton 00:19:15.660 --> 00:19:17.220 because the streets are horrible. 00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:19.340 Well, we're probably getting off topic here. 00:19:19.340 --> 00:19:23.260 No, no, I just didn't know if that's part of the strategic funding. 00:19:23.260 --> 00:19:25.420 That's actually an easier question. 00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:29.540 It's a great question, those are text out roadways and we do have a plan in place and 00:19:29.540 --> 00:19:33.140 working with them to eventually have those turned over to the city, but we're working 00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:39.180 with text out on that, but this is, this complete roadway funding strategy was, if members source 00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:43.620 were correctly, as Ron pointed, related to all the available sources of funding that 00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:48.700 the city may have as it relates to roadway improvements and in text out may have been 00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:52.220 part of that conversation because we do have a fair amount of text out roadways within 00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:58.220 our community, but that also was to really to receive direction from council on the various 00:19:58.220 --> 00:20:03.900 funding sources that we could apply towards roadway construction. 00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:04.900 Great question. 00:20:04.900 --> 00:20:05.900 Great question. 00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:10.900 I wish I had an answer for you. 00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:11.900 Okay. 00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:18.380 So next element is community character and part of that community character is, again, 00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:24.340 our historic resources and the slide here that I provided, just going to highlight some 00:20:24.340 --> 00:20:30.700 of the things that the city's working towards, I know that again, Cameron is helping with 00:20:30.700 --> 00:20:35.140 a lot of the historic preservation actions. 00:20:35.140 --> 00:20:41.340 She's actually created an Instagram webpage. 00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:47.380 There's the Den Historic Preservation Plan that we're working on as well. 00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:53.080 Street sign toppers was a major accomplishment this past year. 00:20:53.080 --> 00:20:57.780 So that's in place and so we're actually working on that. 00:20:57.780 --> 00:21:06.540 And then overall, just the city in downtown in general, ensuring that we have the music 00:21:06.540 --> 00:21:13.540 and arts events continue and we hope that we can promote more and that we can, again, 00:21:13.540 --> 00:21:16.820 bring more folks to downtown, hopefully they can get here. 00:21:16.820 --> 00:21:22.180 But that's something that we have a lot towards and again, community character is one of those 00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:29.060 elements that has a lot of key actions and that reflects on what you see here. 00:21:29.060 --> 00:21:33.060 You see a lot of programs and projects that are being worked on. 00:21:33.060 --> 00:21:37.860 Not a whole lot of major accomplishments to date, but I'm sure that in the next coming 00:21:37.860 --> 00:21:43.180 years we'll see more and more of those key actions implemented or accomplished. 00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:45.180 But again, we have a lot going on. 00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:50.300 The Parks Department has a lot going on in terms of community character, of course. 00:21:50.300 --> 00:21:56.660 They're the individuals that are working on a lot of the public amenities or infrastructure 00:21:56.660 --> 00:21:57.660 that we have. 00:21:57.660 --> 00:22:02.900 So you see they're listed here a number of times. 00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:09.500 And I think if I were to highlight some of the major, you know, progress programs that 00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:14.300 are in progress that is, is basically what the parks is doing. 00:22:14.300 --> 00:22:20.020 I attended a parks board meeting not too long ago and they shared with the board some of 00:22:20.020 --> 00:22:23.380 the projects that they're working on and some of the programs they're working on. 00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:25.780 And it was a 60 slide presentation. 00:22:25.780 --> 00:22:33.780 So they have a lot going on between park master planning, between installing public art, that's 00:22:33.780 --> 00:22:42.900 under the Parks Department, acquiring additional park land, preserving, you know, natural areas, 00:22:42.900 --> 00:22:50.460 working with the CIP individuals to make sure that, you know, their trails and park system 00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:54.780 is in line with some of the developments that's going on but also with the city projects. 00:22:54.780 --> 00:22:59.820 So the Parks Department is very busy and have a lot to do with community character. 00:22:59.820 --> 00:23:02.980 So again, the list is long. 00:23:02.980 --> 00:23:07.980 The further detailed information is in the backup to all of these different categories 00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:09.540 or these different key actions. 00:23:09.540 --> 00:23:14.180 So hopefully you have an opportunity to read that because it goes a little bit more into 00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:21.100 detail as to what they're doing in their efforts to implement those key actions. 00:23:21.100 --> 00:23:28.180 All right, I talked about parks and conservation, obviously they're part of the community character 00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:38.380 but they also provide parks conservation and environment as well, efforts in that key actions. 00:23:38.380 --> 00:23:44.260 So the ones that I showed here, just to highlight some of the actions that they're working on, 00:23:44.260 --> 00:23:51.980 obviously the continuing preservation of key areas, either be it's natural heritage or 00:23:51.980 --> 00:24:00.540 natural resources or wildlife or other, you know, landscaping preservation as well. 00:24:00.540 --> 00:24:04.760 But we also have existing parks that they also have to maintain. 00:24:04.760 --> 00:24:11.900 So I showed a picture of Quaker Town and the Flash Park here which they also actually maintain. 00:24:11.900 --> 00:24:17.500 So a lot of the acquiring of new parks but also maintaining of existing parks as well 00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:23.980 is part of their day-to-day and ultimately part of this comprehensive plan. 00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:28.100 The map to the right just illustrates where those city parks are located throughout the 00:24:28.100 --> 00:24:32.580 city of Denton. 00:24:32.580 --> 00:24:37.580 So one of the major accomplishments is the update to the Parks Recreation and Trail System 00:24:37.580 --> 00:24:43.140 Master Plan that was done in early March of 2022. 00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:47.940 And then the list that you see here provide all the different actions or summary of those 00:24:47.940 --> 00:24:49.740 actions that they're working on. 00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:54.600 And one of the things that I want to highlight is the protection of agriculture land and 00:24:54.600 --> 00:24:59.260 heritage ranch lands as well as any natural features. 00:24:59.260 --> 00:25:03.340 I know that the Parks Department when I was at the Parks Board talked about acquiring 00:25:03.340 --> 00:25:09.220 property throughout the city, not just one area and preserving that for future use for 00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:10.380 recreation. 00:25:10.380 --> 00:25:13.300 So they have funds in which to do that. 00:25:13.300 --> 00:25:17.060 Not a lot but enough to be able to acquire some land. 00:25:17.060 --> 00:25:20.180 I know that they recently purchased some land to the north of the city. 00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:28.140 So as part of their ultimate effort in creating a regional park system in which we have multiple 00:25:28.140 --> 00:25:32.220 parks that are connected by natural trails. 00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:36.140 Yeah, parks are doing a lot of stuff. 00:25:36.140 --> 00:25:42.340 So again, the list that you have in the backup has again a little bit more detail into what 00:25:42.340 --> 00:25:43.860 they're working on. 00:25:43.860 --> 00:25:49.020 But if you have any questions, please let me know and I'll certainly try to answer those 00:25:49.020 --> 00:25:50.020 questions. 00:25:50.020 --> 00:25:51.020 Mobility. 00:25:51.020 --> 00:25:57.220 So this is a really important one I think to me after land use mobility is probably one 00:25:57.220 --> 00:26:01.700 of the biggest element in the comprehensive plan. 00:26:01.700 --> 00:26:09.780 This is in the exhibits or these graphics here, infographics are from the then 2020 mobility 00:26:09.780 --> 00:26:10.780 2022. 00:26:10.780 --> 00:26:12.700 Sorry, mobility plan. 00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:17.300 And you can see that we'll start with bicycle infrastructure per the plan. 00:26:17.300 --> 00:26:27.140 There are 24.4 miles of trails, 15.3 of shared roadways, 9.3 miles of bike lanes. 00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:31.900 And then there's urban shoulders which is 2.5 miles and then side paths. 00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:36.460 And I think side path is one of those new terms that you probably haven't heard. 00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:38.780 I think that's something that we'll see more and more. 00:26:38.780 --> 00:26:46.220 I know that our parks department as well as our CIP and our transportation planning staff 00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:51.980 is looking to extend or add more side paths as part of new developments that come in. 00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:58.220 So our bicycle infrastructure is a lot and one of the main things from the comprehensive 00:26:58.220 --> 00:27:02.020 plan is to increase that even more than what we have today. 00:27:02.020 --> 00:27:07.780 So those will come as development comes in but we can also be proactive in identifying 00:27:07.780 --> 00:27:12.300 areas that we can add more where it makes sense. 00:27:12.300 --> 00:27:19.500 In terms of pedestrian infrastructure, we have 451 miles of sidewalks. 00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:25.900 Some of them are better than others but we definitely have those that we need to help 00:27:25.900 --> 00:27:29.420 maintain but we also look to create more. 00:27:29.420 --> 00:27:35.740 So that's something that this comprehensive plan speaks to and this is what the den 2022 00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:42.080 mobility plan also speaks to and hopefully we can add that to our system. 00:27:42.080 --> 00:27:47.620 Daily migration, I thought this was a really cool infographic, shows that almost the same 00:27:47.620 --> 00:27:50.300 amount of people coming in is leaving. 00:27:50.300 --> 00:27:56.220 So that was an interesting number to see and then we have folks that just live and work 00:27:56.220 --> 00:28:02.660 in den which is I think important as well. 00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:11.300 In terms of the mobility major accomplishments, we continue to update our transportation criteria 00:28:11.300 --> 00:28:16.660 manual and other criteria manuals to include. 00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:23.000 We conducted a citywide speed study and that is exciting because after the speed study 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:31.500 was adopted and approved, the city department, I'm trying to think of the department, I won't 00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:36.980 say streets but the department in charge of street signs updated the street, I'm sorry, 00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:43.820 the speed limit signs and I believe the number is 193 signs in total and they're also continuing 00:28:43.820 --> 00:28:51.020 to add more or work to add more of those updates working with Tech Start as well and getting 00:28:51.020 --> 00:28:56.580 those street signs, sorry, speed limit signs updated and ultimately as development comes 00:28:56.580 --> 00:29:01.060 in we will make sure that those signs are reflected as well per the speed study. 00:29:01.060 --> 00:29:06.260 So again, that's an exciting one that was done last year. 00:29:06.260 --> 00:29:12.340 In terms of other projects and programs that are ongoing, again, we talked about or I briefly 00:29:12.340 --> 00:29:16.180 discussed that pedestrian, bicycle and transit infrastructure. 00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:21.060 We hope to increase more and more as we continue to develop and grow as a city so that is part 00:29:21.060 --> 00:29:25.620 of what we will be or we are doing and will be doing in the future. 00:29:25.620 --> 00:29:30.340 I'm trying to think of another one here. 00:29:30.340 --> 00:29:35.260 I think this is a good one too, number seven is expand electric vehicle fleet and infrastructure. 00:29:35.260 --> 00:29:40.260 I know the city is looking at our fleet trucks and see there's ways that we can increase 00:29:40.260 --> 00:29:42.780 the number of electric vehicle. 00:29:42.780 --> 00:29:50.260 In terms of electric infrastructure, I know that in downtown there is a few electric vehicle 00:29:50.260 --> 00:29:51.800 charging stations. 00:29:51.800 --> 00:29:57.260 We certainly want to see more but we also have some over at Razor Ranch as well as at 00:29:57.260 --> 00:29:58.260 Buc-E's. 00:29:58.260 --> 00:30:02.020 I didn't know Buc-E's had some but apparently there are some electric charged vehicle stations 00:30:02.020 --> 00:30:05.080 at Buc-E's as well. 00:30:05.080 --> 00:30:06.080 Any questions on mobility? 00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:07.080 Commissioner Prudt. 00:30:07.080 --> 00:30:08.580 Thank you, Chair. 00:30:08.580 --> 00:30:15.800 Just real quick, I know we've had challenges in staffing and everything with Vision Zero 00:30:15.800 --> 00:30:20.320 moving forward. 00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:27.740 Do we envision future updates like this having some KPIs from that Vision Zero study and 00:30:27.740 --> 00:30:33.540 being able to track how the safety goals are being accomplished or not? 00:30:33.540 --> 00:30:37.460 I know that phase one is completed and there's a phase two and I'm looking to Tina to help 00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:39.220 me with that question. 00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:40.220 Right. 00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:42.620 So we have funded phase two. 00:30:42.620 --> 00:30:46.940 We have been delayed getting that started just because we've been trying to help supplement 00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:48.500 our transportation planning staff. 00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:50.940 So we're making some good headway on that. 00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:51.980 I'm happy to report. 00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:56.660 So hopefully we'll have some additional staff members next month that will be able to help 00:30:56.660 --> 00:30:58.220 supplement our efforts. 00:30:58.220 --> 00:31:01.400 But as it relates to Vision Zero, that's one of the key things that we need to move forward 00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:03.440 on developing that phase two action plan. 00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:07.320 I would anticipate as part of that action plan that there will probably be some key performance 00:31:07.320 --> 00:31:12.460 indicators that would be included within that to be able to help be able to understand from 00:31:12.460 --> 00:31:17.620 a data standpoint, are we getting closer to our goal of zero fatalities or significant 00:31:17.620 --> 00:31:19.380 injuries associated with that? 00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:20.380 Okay. 00:31:20.380 --> 00:31:21.380 Thank you. 00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:22.380 You're welcome. 00:31:22.380 --> 00:31:23.380 Great question. 00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:24.380 Okay. 00:31:24.380 --> 00:31:25.380 Thanks. 00:31:25.380 --> 00:31:31.220 Housing and neighborhoods, again, another important element. 00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:36.060 This slide just helps illustrate some of the major things that we're working on or have 00:31:36.060 --> 00:31:37.940 accomplished. 00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:43.740 The affordable housing strategic toolkit is one that I know our community services department 00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:49.500 is working on and we'll be seeing some of what they're working on in the next, hopefully 00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:51.740 next couple of months. 00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:56.680 Of course, the famous illustration that I think everybody has seen already, the missing 00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:03.100 middle housing, our big strategic, I'm sorry, our big key action in the comprehensive plan 00:32:03.100 --> 00:32:11.460 is to increase our housing options, increase our housing types. 00:32:11.460 --> 00:32:19.020 That is something that you'll see in the comprehensive plan and you'll see as part of the key actions 00:32:19.020 --> 00:32:26.180 is to make sure that we provide those types of housing as well as those options available 00:32:26.180 --> 00:32:28.220 to our community. 00:32:28.220 --> 00:32:35.900 The other two illustrates here is a sample of what tiny homes could be, so just another 00:32:35.900 --> 00:32:38.820 example of another option. 00:32:38.820 --> 00:32:45.300 This photo over here is a model home over at Eagle Creek, that's a division just south 00:32:45.300 --> 00:32:46.300 of I-35. 00:32:46.300 --> 00:32:52.740 I thought it was a good representation of some of the housing that we're seeing. 00:32:52.740 --> 00:32:59.380 So in Den, obviously you all know that the city's growing, the housing demand is high 00:32:59.380 --> 00:33:03.500 not only for the DFW but for this city as well. 00:33:03.500 --> 00:33:10.300 Our comprehensive plan looks to add or is projecting to add roughly 37,000 more housing 00:33:10.300 --> 00:33:12.460 by 2040. 00:33:12.460 --> 00:33:18.360 I think with some of the big developments like coal and hunter, I think that can be 00:33:18.360 --> 00:33:23.460 quickly done but there's still obviously other areas of the city that we're seeing growth 00:33:23.460 --> 00:33:24.600 and housing as well. 00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:33.160 So again, housing in neighborhoods, some of the major accomplishments again is expanding 00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:34.340 our housing options. 00:33:34.340 --> 00:33:44.700 I know in the year 2022 we approved roughly close to 1,400 permits for housing and those 00:33:44.700 --> 00:33:50.860 range again from single family, there are some duplexes but mainly single family and 00:33:50.860 --> 00:33:54.340 those range in different sizes. 00:33:54.340 --> 00:33:59.620 Expand the availability of affordable housing, again with the affordable strategic toolkit 00:33:59.620 --> 00:34:01.740 that community services are working on. 00:34:01.740 --> 00:34:08.780 There are a number of examples that they're hoping to accomplish and so I know with multifamily 00:34:08.780 --> 00:34:14.140 I believe that number is around, I want to say there's 12 permits that were approved 00:34:14.140 --> 00:34:19.700 but 2,600 units associated with those 12 permits from what I recall. 00:34:19.700 --> 00:34:25.760 So again, housing is, we're continuing to see more housing develop but I think part 00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:32.660 of what we would like to see also is the types and the additional options that are available 00:34:32.660 --> 00:34:36.260 is expanded even more. 00:34:36.260 --> 00:34:43.140 In terms of the projects that are being worked on, you know, meeting the demands and diversity 00:34:43.140 --> 00:34:48.340 of housing choices, community services, I mentioned that, they're working on that as 00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:51.420 part of their strategic plan. 00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:57.020 As far as the other, establish a rental housing and multifamily inspection and registration 00:34:57.020 --> 00:35:02.340 program, I know some of that has started but part of that has not yet started so I believe 00:35:02.340 --> 00:35:08.780 the rental housing inspection has started but the registration program has not. 00:35:08.780 --> 00:35:12.060 But again, that's something that community services is working on. 00:35:12.060 --> 00:35:18.500 In addition, they are also working on the, addressing the needs for DEN's homeless population 00:35:18.500 --> 00:35:25.820 as well in a number of key tasks. 00:35:25.820 --> 00:35:31.940 Community health services and safety and services that is, I provided these photos here to kind 00:35:31.940 --> 00:35:36.140 of give you an idea of what we have been doing as a city. 00:35:36.140 --> 00:35:44.020 I'll start over here, the top left, and that is the DEN police substation on vintage. 00:35:44.020 --> 00:35:47.860 Hopefully some of you may have driven by it, I've seen it. 00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:54.980 That was recently opened, I believe it was April of this year. 00:35:54.980 --> 00:36:00.820 This is the, I'm going to blank on this one, I remember the name but it's on loop 288 is 00:36:00.820 --> 00:36:07.180 the homeless, maybe it's not the homeless. 00:36:07.180 --> 00:36:14.580 It's not our daily bread, it's called something else and I apologize, let me see if I. 00:36:14.580 --> 00:36:18.460 It's a city facility that assists people with needs and housing, I don't have the exact 00:36:18.460 --> 00:36:22.580 name but it is in partnership with our daily bread, they provide support. 00:36:22.580 --> 00:36:23.580 That's right, okay. 00:36:23.580 --> 00:36:26.580 When I find it, I'll let you all know. 00:36:26.580 --> 00:36:32.220 So yeah, that one just was late 2022, so that opened up and again, that's a great addition 00:36:32.220 --> 00:36:38.940 to the city and again, assisting our community that are in need. 00:36:38.940 --> 00:36:44.420 The bottom left here, just to just illustrate that our parks department is working on expanding 00:36:44.420 --> 00:36:49.100 the program of community gardens throughout the city. 00:36:49.100 --> 00:36:53.860 Bowling Green is another area that has a community garden, but Child Field is also part of that 00:36:53.860 --> 00:37:02.100 and part of the parks department's effort is also to help expand the use of community 00:37:02.100 --> 00:37:04.300 gardens throughout the city of Den. 00:37:04.300 --> 00:37:10.460 And then the bottom right here has not been built yet, or it's being built as we speak. 00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:17.220 It's the, let me ask a question, what number is our next fire station? 00:37:17.220 --> 00:37:18.220 Does anybody know? 00:37:18.220 --> 00:37:20.500 Is it number eight? 00:37:20.500 --> 00:37:21.500 No? 00:37:21.500 --> 00:37:22.500 Close. 00:37:22.500 --> 00:37:23.500 Is it nine? 00:37:23.500 --> 00:37:24.500 Okay. 00:37:24.500 --> 00:37:33.220 So number nine will be our, yeah, okay, there's no prize. 00:37:33.220 --> 00:37:38.240 Yeah, no prize, no prize. 00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:43.220 It's located at the Den Municipal Airport, Enterprise Airport, so that'll be exciting 00:37:43.220 --> 00:37:44.220 to have one there. 00:37:44.220 --> 00:37:48.820 Obviously, that's going to increase the protection of that area in terms of fire, but also have 00:37:48.820 --> 00:37:53.460 it available for the airport if for whatever reason there is a need. 00:37:53.460 --> 00:37:58.160 But that is scheduled to be completed in May or April or May of 2024. 00:37:58.160 --> 00:38:01.820 So I know they're working hard to get them, and it's right next to the terminal. 00:38:01.820 --> 00:38:06.940 So it's a great location and central to the airport area. 00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:10.500 It's called Denton's Community Shelter, operated by Our Daily Bread. 00:38:10.500 --> 00:38:11.500 Great. 00:38:11.500 --> 00:38:12.720 Thank you. 00:38:12.720 --> 00:38:15.180 Thank you, Dina. 00:38:15.180 --> 00:38:20.660 As far as community health safety, we do have a lot under major accomplishments. 00:38:20.660 --> 00:38:27.780 Obviously, the police and fire have received a number of accreditation, accreditation, 00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:28.780 accreditation, sorry. 00:38:28.780 --> 00:38:30.620 Yeah, there you go. 00:38:30.620 --> 00:38:37.180 Also, we talked about the services at Loop 288 that Tina just referenced. 00:38:37.180 --> 00:38:39.020 So that was accomplished. 00:38:39.020 --> 00:38:40.980 That's a major accomplishment. 00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:47.540 As far as projects and programs currently in progress, we have a number of activities. 00:38:47.540 --> 00:38:53.020 We talked about the gardens, community gardens, but also overall is really just making sure 00:38:53.020 --> 00:38:58.860 that our public service departments are being able to do what they do. 00:38:58.860 --> 00:39:06.780 And so they're continuing to make efforts to make sure that their services are available 00:39:06.780 --> 00:39:13.500 and within the framework of what needs to be done in terms of federal and state standards. 00:39:13.500 --> 00:39:18.740 So look, they're going. 00:39:18.740 --> 00:39:20.780 Infrastructure and utilities, this is the last element. 00:39:20.780 --> 00:39:24.780 So after this, we'll be done. 00:39:24.780 --> 00:39:29.460 So I wanted to share some of the major road work. 00:39:29.460 --> 00:39:32.380 Now there are a number of other road works throughout the city. 00:39:32.380 --> 00:39:38.540 And I encourage you to go to our city website under Improving Den and you'll see that there's 00:39:38.540 --> 00:39:43.860 a number of projects that the city is working on, not just the big projects like this, but 00:39:43.860 --> 00:39:48.060 also neighborhood projects throughout the city as well. 00:39:48.060 --> 00:39:51.940 So the first one is the Mayhill Road phase two. 00:39:51.940 --> 00:39:59.380 And for those that aren't familiar, phase one is basically between US 380 and just south 00:39:59.380 --> 00:40:00.380 of Spencer. 00:40:00.380 --> 00:40:03.140 So the landfill is off of this photo. 00:40:03.140 --> 00:40:08.340 So the landfill is over here and phase one ends roughly around here. 00:40:08.340 --> 00:40:18.620 Phase two is going to be the construction of a Mayhill extending over the railroad tracks 00:40:18.620 --> 00:40:24.820 and then down and then reconnecting to where, again, the existing phase one completion is 00:40:24.820 --> 00:40:25.820 located. 00:40:25.820 --> 00:40:26.820 So this is phase two. 00:40:26.820 --> 00:40:32.020 So this segment between where it currently ends here is just south of Spencer all the 00:40:32.020 --> 00:40:37.820 way through, I want to say Colorado, but I think they may extend all the way to I-35, 00:40:37.820 --> 00:40:39.540 but that might be a different project. 00:40:39.540 --> 00:40:43.460 But this project right here that you're seeing here is phase two. 00:40:43.460 --> 00:40:51.740 So again, that area where it currently is a four-way stop, no, a three-way stop, extends 00:40:51.740 --> 00:40:58.400 over again the railroad tracks and then again realigns back to the main Mayhill look alignment, 00:40:58.400 --> 00:40:59.400 that is phase two. 00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:02.860 So that is something that is upcoming and that is something that is being worked on 00:41:02.860 --> 00:41:04.980 as we speak. 00:41:04.980 --> 00:41:13.100 The other area that's on this side here which is will be the old Mayhill will be part of 00:41:13.100 --> 00:41:18.900 phase three and that will come in soon after phase two or right around the same time. 00:41:18.900 --> 00:41:25.700 So again, just to illustrate where that is, what is happening along this part of the city. 00:41:25.700 --> 00:41:30.780 The other part of the city is the Bonnie Bray widening project. 00:41:30.780 --> 00:41:37.380 Currently the phase one and two is complete, so the area here on Vintage and the part of 00:41:37.380 --> 00:41:42.380 Bonnie Bray through this area here, I think that was either Rose Lawn Drive, yeah, that's 00:41:42.380 --> 00:41:46.940 Rose Lawn Drive, that is where phase one and that is completed. 00:41:46.940 --> 00:41:50.420 Phase three and four, five and six are forthcoming. 00:41:50.420 --> 00:41:56.900 I know that the design and work on phase three is being drafted or being completed as we 00:41:56.900 --> 00:42:05.020 speak, so that will be the next phase for the capital projects team. 00:42:05.020 --> 00:42:10.940 Some of the major accomplishments include the work that the city as well as the county 00:42:10.940 --> 00:42:18.660 is doing in terms of roadway work, also the continuing road work widening, I talked about 00:42:18.660 --> 00:42:25.500 Bonnie Bray, I talked about Mayhill, Mayhill, the phase one that is, so that is all done. 00:42:25.500 --> 00:42:30.740 There are other capital projects that the city is working on, again, those are all provided 00:42:30.740 --> 00:42:37.260 under Improving Den, so that's a really good website to visit if you want to learn more 00:42:37.260 --> 00:42:42.660 about what's going on in terms of roadway widening projects. 00:42:42.660 --> 00:42:47.300 In terms of the other projects and programs that are currently being worked on, I know 00:42:47.300 --> 00:42:53.240 that I'm just going to pick a few here, street lighting standards, D&E will be bringing forward 00:42:53.240 --> 00:43:00.420 some of that recommendations to the DCRC and ultimately to PNZ and City Council. 00:43:00.420 --> 00:43:07.740 I know our water and waste water folks are working on master plans as we speak, the water 00:43:07.740 --> 00:43:13.020 utility department is working on a one water plan I believe is called, there's also a waste 00:43:13.020 --> 00:43:18.900 water master plan being drafted as well, I think it's just initially started, and then 00:43:18.900 --> 00:43:22.660 there's also the storm water master plan, so there's a lot of master plans being drafted 00:43:22.660 --> 00:43:28.700 as part, again, what was called out in the Den 24 Conference of Plan. 00:43:28.700 --> 00:43:32.820 And then I think the last one here, the last number nine, complete all remaining projects 00:43:32.820 --> 00:43:37.900 associated with the 2012 and 2014 bond capital projects, something that they wanted me to 00:43:37.900 --> 00:43:42.620 make sure that you all understood that they're working on that and they're actually doing 00:43:42.620 --> 00:43:50.660 a lot of work to get those projects completed, so a lot of work being done as we speak in 00:43:50.660 --> 00:43:55.780 terms of infrastructure and utilities. 00:43:55.780 --> 00:44:02.960 So in conclusion, I apologize for running really fast here, but major accomplishments, 00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:09.700 we looked at the Conference of Plan and we identified 23 key actions, about 9 percent 00:44:09.700 --> 00:44:14.820 of what we have completed so far, and that's just under the first year, so hopefully as 00:44:14.820 --> 00:44:20.620 the years progress, we'll continue to add more actions to that list. 00:44:20.620 --> 00:44:25.860 Projects and programs, approximately 150 key actions, about 60 percent are currently being 00:44:25.860 --> 00:44:26.860 worked on. 00:44:26.860 --> 00:44:33.300 The remaining actions are either not started or either ongoing or need a little bit more 00:44:33.300 --> 00:44:40.760 time to get going, either due to funding or staffing, but those are also being monitored 00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:46.580 and hopefully we can share with you at our next update a little bit more on what's happening 00:44:46.580 --> 00:44:51.820 with those actions that are not listed or was not listed in your backup. 00:44:51.820 --> 00:44:59.760 Last bullet here, last segment is the city has started a program or has a software program 00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:07.960 that monitors and allows the city departments to track where certain initiatives, key actions, 00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:15.540 city actions as well, where they are in terms of their progress. 00:45:15.540 --> 00:45:20.620 So Invisio is the software program that allows us to do that. 00:45:20.620 --> 00:45:28.100 What's really neat about Invisio is that we can include a number of key actions or strategies 00:45:28.100 --> 00:45:35.220 or initiatives from multiple plans and we're able to link them, so if there is an action 00:45:35.220 --> 00:45:42.820 or a strategy that's similar, we can have one, an ability to just enter one entry and 00:45:42.820 --> 00:45:49.020 that would then supplement or supply the answer to those strategies or in progress of those 00:45:49.020 --> 00:45:52.720 strategies at one time rather than having to do them multiple times. 00:45:52.720 --> 00:46:00.040 So I think when we come back next year, I know we will, we'll have Invisio up and running 00:46:00.040 --> 00:46:05.220 and we'll share with you some of the data and the results that come out of that exercise. 00:46:05.220 --> 00:46:10.180 It'll be a lot more easier way of presenting and understanding some of the key action because 00:46:10.180 --> 00:46:16.260 now we can also look at other plans and identify how those are doing in relationship to the 00:46:16.260 --> 00:46:19.760 key actions that are in our comprehensive plan. 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:25.160 So with that, that concludes my presentation and I'll be happy to answer any questions. 00:46:25.160 --> 00:46:30.540 Thank you, Ron, Commissioner McDeid. 00:46:30.540 --> 00:46:31.540 Thank you, Chair. 00:46:31.540 --> 00:46:35.700 Ron, if you could go back to your first slide where you had the northeast, southeast and 00:46:35.700 --> 00:46:36.700 the downtown. 00:46:36.700 --> 00:46:37.700 Yes, sir. 00:46:37.700 --> 00:46:39.980 I just have a quick question about the downtown area. 00:46:39.980 --> 00:46:44.580 I know it's not, it hasn't started yet, but is there any way you could tell me like how 00:46:44.580 --> 00:46:49.620 far that stretches on all four sides as far as street name-wise, you know? 00:46:49.620 --> 00:46:50.620 For southeast? 00:46:50.620 --> 00:46:51.780 No, no, for the downtown. 00:46:51.780 --> 00:46:52.780 For downtown? 00:46:52.780 --> 00:46:53.780 We don't, we don't know. 00:46:53.780 --> 00:46:55.780 I think U.S. 380- That's to be determined. 00:46:55.780 --> 00:46:56.780 Yeah, yeah. 00:46:56.780 --> 00:47:04.420 I think if you're looking at the map, I think 380, U.S. University would be the most northern 00:47:04.420 --> 00:47:09.260 one, but as far as the east, west and south, it's still not known. 00:47:09.260 --> 00:47:10.260 Okay. 00:47:10.260 --> 00:47:11.260 Yeah. 00:47:11.260 --> 00:47:13.580 But I know 380 would probably be where we would cut it out there. 00:47:13.580 --> 00:47:14.580 All right. 00:47:14.580 --> 00:47:18.300 Well, and the reason why the boundaries are undetermined at this time, because we will 00:47:18.300 --> 00:47:23.760 have extensive public engagement that will be involved in helping us identify what the 00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:25.300 boundaries should be. 00:47:25.300 --> 00:47:29.820 Obviously, we have the existing downtown master plan, but there may be some conversation about 00:47:29.820 --> 00:47:34.580 whether or not that area needs to be grown, just like on southeast and on southeast with 00:47:34.580 --> 00:47:38.540 all of our public engagement activities, we're really listening to the community to understand 00:47:38.540 --> 00:47:42.420 with them as to what they consider the boundaries of Southeast Denton to be. 00:47:42.420 --> 00:47:46.260 So it's really going to be public engagement driven to help us with that answer. 00:47:46.260 --> 00:47:47.260 Okay. 00:47:47.260 --> 00:47:48.260 That's the answer I was looking for. 00:47:48.260 --> 00:47:49.260 Great. 00:47:49.260 --> 00:47:50.260 Thank you. 00:47:50.260 --> 00:47:51.260 All right. 00:47:51.260 --> 00:47:52.260 Anybody else? 00:47:52.260 --> 00:47:53.260 Commissioner Pruitt. 00:47:53.260 --> 00:47:54.260 Thank you, Chair. 00:47:54.260 --> 00:47:55.260 Hopefully two quick questions. 00:47:55.260 --> 00:48:04.020 One, I heard you talk about the stormwater master plan, which is ongoing. 00:48:04.020 --> 00:48:13.540 Are we investigating just having planning or development staff in those conversations 00:48:13.540 --> 00:48:25.540 to see whether allowing stormwater management in pooled areas or certain mitigation fees 00:48:25.540 --> 00:48:33.660 in lieu of things that are required would also aid our infill and redevelopment activities? 00:48:33.660 --> 00:48:38.380 Is that something that's ongoing or is that something that might not start until after 00:48:38.380 --> 00:48:40.340 the stormwater plan is complete? 00:48:40.340 --> 00:48:45.620 I think every opportunity we can provide input, I think, would be -- I'm just reading the 00:48:45.620 --> 00:48:54.500 notes here, states that engineering is currently managing the draft of the stormwater master 00:48:54.500 --> 00:48:55.500 plan. 00:48:55.500 --> 00:48:57.220 I can certainly follow up. 00:48:57.220 --> 00:49:02.140 I know that with regards to the water and wastewater master plan, we have been involved 00:49:02.140 --> 00:49:07.540 because actually part of their plan is to understand what the city's growth is and so 00:49:07.540 --> 00:49:08.780 they can plan ahead. 00:49:08.780 --> 00:49:13.540 I think similarly, the stormwater master plan should have something to that effect. 00:49:13.540 --> 00:49:18.500 But specifically to your question, we have not had that discussion, but we certainly 00:49:18.500 --> 00:49:21.700 can make that as part of the plan being drafted. 00:49:21.700 --> 00:49:29.140 Yeah, it's more just a question if staff feels like looking into that, just because I know 00:49:29.140 --> 00:49:35.660 sometimes that stormwater infrastructure can be nonlinear in cost as far as you get economies 00:49:35.660 --> 00:49:36.980 of scale and that sort of thing. 00:49:36.980 --> 00:49:42.660 If there's opportunities to take some steps forward and some other goals by looking at 00:49:42.660 --> 00:49:45.900 that, that may be helpful. 00:49:45.900 --> 00:49:52.280 Second question, and you're at the slide now, so thank you, Commissioner McDade, mud policy. 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:58.160 So I will admit I didn't actually go back and find the past mud policy that was passed, 00:49:58.160 --> 00:50:08.120 but I know that we had a couple of confusing plat applications and conditional, reconditional 00:50:08.120 --> 00:50:14.900 approvals that happened because there was uncertainty in street design standards and 00:50:14.900 --> 00:50:18.500 county accepting and approving. 00:50:18.500 --> 00:50:27.860 I guess my question is, did that final mud policy account for those confusions so that 00:50:27.860 --> 00:50:32.260 we'll have fewer of them going forward, or is that something we still need to work through? 00:50:32.260 --> 00:50:37.460 So the policy is that, it's just a policy, it's not a technical design manual. 00:50:37.460 --> 00:50:43.380 But the policy does speak to, it encourages that development would occur in accordance 00:50:43.380 --> 00:50:46.020 with the city's design specifications and standards. 00:50:46.020 --> 00:50:52.100 So part of that conversation is whether or not the developments that are being done as 00:50:52.100 --> 00:50:55.780 municipal utility districts will eventually want to annex into the city. 00:50:55.780 --> 00:50:59.980 And if they are, then we're interested in understanding or providing some direction 00:50:59.980 --> 00:51:04.020 in terms of, at least with the infrastructure that they're being built in accordance with 00:51:04.020 --> 00:51:05.340 our city design requirements. 00:51:05.340 --> 00:51:11.120 So that way we know what we're inheriting at such point in time when they, if they do 00:51:11.120 --> 00:51:13.260 choose to move forward with annexation. 00:51:13.260 --> 00:51:19.320 So it's really that policy encourages the developments to develop consistent with our 00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:22.980 design requirements that we have in place. 00:51:22.980 --> 00:51:28.420 And I was trying to think what else we included in there, but it really provides the framework 00:51:28.420 --> 00:51:29.740 and in helping have the conversation. 00:51:29.740 --> 00:51:33.220 I don't know if you recall when we, I might have given a presentation to the commission 00:51:33.220 --> 00:51:38.140 probably last year when we were working on this and really the goal is eventually to 00:51:38.140 --> 00:51:42.140 work with the mud developers and to enter into development agreements. 00:51:42.140 --> 00:51:48.320 So it's very clear in terms of how the infrastructure is being designed and are they providing development 00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:51.540 aspects that are more in alignment with some of our conference of plan goals and some of 00:51:51.540 --> 00:51:53.940 our design goals. 00:51:53.940 --> 00:51:57.820 We've been very fortunate with some of the conversations that we've had with the mud 00:51:57.820 --> 00:52:00.940 developers that they're very open to that. 00:52:00.940 --> 00:52:07.340 And in such that we're also having conversations regarding with utilities that are B that they're 00:52:07.340 --> 00:52:13.060 having to construct, with those B utilities that the city is eventually inheriting. 00:52:13.060 --> 00:52:14.640 And if so, what that might look like. 00:52:14.640 --> 00:52:20.580 So it's really our goal is to help work with them and steer us to design requirements that 00:52:20.580 --> 00:52:25.180 are, or are having them build infrastructure that is consistent with our design requirements. 00:52:25.180 --> 00:52:28.980 Because at the end of the day, if we're ultimately going to be responsible for maintaining them, 00:52:28.980 --> 00:52:33.380 especially if they choose to annex into the city, we want to know what we're receiving. 00:52:33.380 --> 00:52:37.660 So did that answer your question, Mr. Prout? 00:52:37.660 --> 00:52:38.660 Okay. 00:52:38.660 --> 00:52:39.660 Okay. 00:52:39.660 --> 00:52:40.660 Commissioner Cole. 00:52:40.660 --> 00:52:41.660 Thank you, chair. 00:52:41.660 --> 00:52:45.620 So you hear a lot of, is this voluntary or is there teeth in this enforcement for these 00:52:45.620 --> 00:52:46.620 mud districts? 00:52:46.620 --> 00:52:55.140 Um, could that, so, I mean- They, so, um, we, we encourage them to enter 00:52:55.140 --> 00:52:57.740 into development agreement, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have to. 00:52:57.740 --> 00:52:58.740 They have to. 00:52:58.740 --> 00:52:59.740 So, right. 00:52:59.740 --> 00:53:00.740 It's, it's a negotiation, right? 00:53:00.740 --> 00:53:02.320 We kind of know what we're getting with these mud districts. 00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:08.100 We're getting water wells, septic, propane, that's what we're getting. 00:53:08.100 --> 00:53:11.540 And that's if, and you're right, they have the ability to be able to develop in that 00:53:11.540 --> 00:53:12.540 nature. 00:53:12.540 --> 00:53:17.500 Um, but we have been very fortunate with some of the mud developers, um, the Legends development 00:53:17.500 --> 00:53:21.980 is a great example where they entered into development agreement with the city and committed 00:53:21.980 --> 00:53:25.300 to building infrastructure in accordance with some of our design requirements. 00:53:25.300 --> 00:53:30.940 So because they do have an interest in eventually having that neighborhood annex into the city. 00:53:30.940 --> 00:53:35.380 So, um, we were able to work with them and put together a development agreement, um, 00:53:35.380 --> 00:53:38.820 so that it outlines how their utilities will be provided. 00:53:38.820 --> 00:53:43.300 Because in some cases, you know, they, they may be building their own package systems, 00:53:43.300 --> 00:53:48.940 but ultimately they see the benefit of being a part of the city's waters, especially the 00:53:48.940 --> 00:53:54.220 city's water system, because if their water source is otherwise groundwater or they're 00:53:54.220 --> 00:53:59.780 drilling wells, then they're, they also recognize that longer term, that water source may not 00:53:59.780 --> 00:54:00.780 be guaranteed. 00:54:00.780 --> 00:54:04.740 So hence why they're interested in, in how they can set up their system to be able to 00:54:04.740 --> 00:54:06.260 connect to the city's water system. 00:54:06.260 --> 00:54:11.700 Okay. That's the, that's the key thing because these are all these mud districts are drilling 00:54:11.700 --> 00:54:12.700 into the plexi. 00:54:12.700 --> 00:54:14.820 That's where they're all getting their water. 00:54:14.820 --> 00:54:21.180 I get my water from the plexi and all the well people that have been digging wells in 00:54:21.180 --> 00:54:28.060 this county for 60 years, I'll tell you, I may see the plexi drop in my lifetime. 00:54:28.060 --> 00:54:29.980 Never thought I would before. 00:54:29.980 --> 00:54:38.060 So a transition from their well system to the city water is what you're saying. 00:54:38.060 --> 00:54:39.060 Right. 00:54:39.060 --> 00:54:44.060 So with these developments, we work with them to understand how they're designing their 00:54:44.060 --> 00:54:49.860 utility system, because ultimately if their goal is to tie into our water system for a 00:54:49.860 --> 00:54:54.660 much more reliable source of water being provided for them for the longer term, then we want 00:54:54.660 --> 00:54:56.300 to be part of that conversation. 00:54:56.300 --> 00:55:01.500 And so, so far we've, we've benefited from MED developers coming and meeting with us 00:55:01.500 --> 00:55:05.820 and, and having those bigger picture conversations, right. 00:55:05.820 --> 00:55:09.060 They're going to make investments in infrastructure anyway. 00:55:09.060 --> 00:55:14.540 So what does that look like and is there an opportunity for, especially if they're wanting 00:55:14.540 --> 00:55:19.980 to tie into the city system, how, how does that occur, right? 00:55:19.980 --> 00:55:24.340 Putting a plan in place so we know how that occurs and then also so that their utility 00:55:24.340 --> 00:55:25.860 system syncs up with ours. 00:55:25.860 --> 00:55:30.340 So, but that, that, that will theoretically be on their dime, not ours. 00:55:30.340 --> 00:55:31.340 Correct. 00:55:31.340 --> 00:55:32.340 Right. 00:55:32.340 --> 00:55:33.340 I mean, presumably, yes. 00:55:33.340 --> 00:55:37.300 So it is, you know, they're having to make infrastructure investments, right? 00:55:37.300 --> 00:55:42.140 So it's, it's part of that conversation is, is how do we leverage that infrastructure 00:55:42.140 --> 00:55:43.540 investment that they're making? 00:55:43.540 --> 00:55:48.380 So and, and it's just, you know, and then it goes from there. 00:55:48.380 --> 00:55:49.380 Thank you. 00:55:49.380 --> 00:55:54.300 Anybody else, Ron, thank you for putting all this together. 00:55:54.300 --> 00:55:55.300 It's a lot of information. 00:55:55.300 --> 00:55:56.300 Thank you. 00:55:56.300 --> 00:56:00.380 It is a great presentation and I'm glad this is being done annually. 00:56:00.380 --> 00:56:01.380 I think it's super important. 00:56:01.380 --> 00:56:02.380 Yeah. 00:56:02.380 --> 00:56:05.120 I think that's something that we established, you know, when we updated the conference plans 00:56:05.120 --> 00:56:08.220 that we come back to the planning zoning commission as the sounding board. 00:56:08.220 --> 00:56:13.540 So there's something that, you know, you guys see or want more information on, we certainly 00:56:13.540 --> 00:56:14.540 can bring it forward. 00:56:14.540 --> 00:56:15.540 Excellent. 00:56:15.540 --> 00:56:16.540 Thank you so much. 00:56:16.540 --> 00:56:17.540 If I can add to that, sure. 00:56:17.540 --> 00:56:18.540 I'll add so. 00:56:18.540 --> 00:56:19.540 If it's quickly because it's 626. 00:56:19.540 --> 00:56:20.540 Absolutely. 00:56:20.540 --> 00:56:24.580 So I know there's food waiting for us also and Ron touched on this in his presentation, 00:56:24.580 --> 00:56:28.580 but once we get all of this uploaded into the Invisio software, then you can, you can 00:56:28.580 --> 00:56:30.020 check this at any time, right? 00:56:30.020 --> 00:56:34.220 You don't have to wait for annual updates from us and, and yes, kudos to Ron. 00:56:34.220 --> 00:56:37.660 He did a tremendous job on pulling all this information together. 00:56:37.660 --> 00:56:41.220 Working with the other departments, we thank them also because we know it, it took some 00:56:41.220 --> 00:56:44.200 time for them to be able to provide us all this information. 00:56:44.200 --> 00:56:46.180 So he's done a fabulous job on this. 00:56:46.180 --> 00:56:47.780 I absolutely agree. 00:56:47.780 --> 00:56:48.780 Thank

and 5B, are both 00:58:03.140 --> 00:58:09.140 being postponed, so we will not be taking action on those items this evening. 00:58:09.140 --> 00:58:15.260 And with that, our first item we are taking action on is 2A, approval of our May 24th 00:58:15.260 --> 00:58:16.900 planning and zoning minutes. 00:58:16.900 --> 00:58:17.900 Commissioner Smith. 00:58:17.900 --> 00:58:19.260 Make a motion to

our consent agenda for this evening. 00:58:39.740 --> 00:58:40.860 Commissioner Villarreal. 00:58:40.860 --> 00:58:42.900 I move approval. 00:58:42.900 --> 00:58:43.900 Commissioner Anderson. 00:58:43.900 --> 00:58:44.900 Second. 00:58:44.900 --> 00:58:48.100 We've got a first and a second for approval of the consent agenda. 00:58:48.100 --> 00:58:49.100 Any discussion? 00:58:49.100 --> 00:58:57.380 Okay, let's vote on the board, please. 00:58:57.380 --> 00:58:59.060 That motion carries 7-0. 00:58:59.060 --> 00:59:05.460 That will take us to items for individual consideration for ASPP 230014. 00:59:05.460 --> 00:59:08.660 I'll invite Sean Jacobson up for presentation. 00:59:08.660 --> 00:59:09.660 Hi, Sean. 00:59:09.660 --> 00:59:19.460 Members of the commission, let's pull up

plat for the Mayhill addition. 00:59:31.500 --> 00:59:37.100 This is an approximately 32-acre site off Mayhill Road, north of the intersection of 00:59:37.100 --> 00:59:39.620 Mayhill and Quail Creek. 00:59:39.620 --> 00:59:43.300 Currently, staff is recommending denial of this plat because it does not meet the approval 00:59:43.300 --> 00:59:44.300 criteria. 00:59:44.300 --> 00:59:50.100 However, staff has no objection to the request of 30-day extension to June 28, 2023, and 00:59:50.100 --> 00:59:53.540 I'm happy to answer any questions about this plat. 00:59:53.540 --> 00:59:54.540 Thank

but has no objection 01:00:53.900 --> 01:00:57.580 to the request of 30-day extension to June 28. 01:00:57.580 --> 01:00:58.580 Happy to answer any questions. 01:00:58.580 --> 01:00:59.580 Thank you,

Julie Wyatt is here to present that item. 01:01:40.740 --> 01:01:44.660 Good evening, Julie Wyatt, principal planner. 01:01:44.660 --> 01:01:49.460 This is a preliminary plat for a single family residential subdivision located in the east 01:01:49.460 --> 01:01:52.260 part of town, south of McKinney. 01:01:52.260 --> 01:01:56.940 They do have a few items that they need to correct in order to meet the criteria for 01:01:56.940 --> 01:01:57.940 approval. 01:01:57.940 --> 01:02:03.860 So while staff is recommending denial of the request, we have no objection to the requested 01:02:03.860 --> 01:02:08.580 30-day extension and I'll be happy to answer any questions. 01:02:08.580 --> 01:02:09.580 Thanks, Julie. 01:02:09.580 --> 01:02:11.660 I do not see any questions for you. 01:02:11.660 -->

01:02:25.300 --> 01:02:27.740 28, 2023. 01:02:27.740 --> 01:02:37.400 Seeing no speakers, let's vote on the board please. 01:02:37.400 --> 01:02:39.060 That motion carries 7-0. 01:02:39.060 --> 01:02:43.980 That will take us to 4D, PE230003. 01:02:43.980 --> 01:02:44.980 Angie is here for that item. 01:02:44.980 --> 01:02:48.220 Good evening, Chair and members of the commission. 01:02:48.220 --> 01:02:49.700 Angie Megler, senior planner. 01:02:49.700 --> 01:02:59.460 Just a moment here. 01:02:59.460 --> 01:03:04.060 This is PE230003. 01:03:04.060 --> 01:03:06.980 It's a plat extension request for Habitat Village. 01:03:06.980 --> 01:03:08.260 Just a little bit of background on this. 01:03:08.260 --> 01:03:11.620 This is a plan development for Habitat for Humanity. 01:03:11.620 --> 01:03:13.900 It is called Habitat Village. 01:03:13.900 --> 01:03:20.020 The original preliminary plat was approved back in July of 2021 per our DDC. 01:03:20.020 --> 01:03:27.220 Plats do expire after two years if part or all of the final plat is not filed by that 01:03:27.220 --> 01:03:28.420 time. 01:03:28.420 --> 01:03:33.300 This plat is set to expire in July of 2023, so the applicant did submit a plat extension 01:03:33.300 --> 01:03:34.300 request. 01:03:34.300 --> 01:03:36.180 We do have some criteria for approval. 01:03:36.180 --> 01:03:41.900 The applicant did submit this request prior to the expiration of the preliminary plat. 01:03:41.900 --> 01:03:46.780 Plans for the requested extension or for the delay in the final plat were included in the 01:03:46.780 --> 01:03:47.780 applicant's narrative. 01:03:47.780 --> 01:03:51.940 However, they have been making progress towards the civil engineering plans for phase one, 01:03:51.940 --> 01:03:54.620 which consists of approximately 16 residential lots. 01:03:54.620 --> 01:03:59.100 It is anticipated that the civil engineering plans are approved within the next month or 01:03:59.100 --> 01:04:04.620 so and following that would be the final plat for phase one of the development. 01:04:04.620 --> 01:04:10.620 In order to avoid possible lapse of the approval of that original preliminary plat, they are 01:04:10.620 --> 01:04:15.980 seeking an extension, which the Commission has the authority to grant for up to one year. 01:04:15.980 --> 01:04:19.140 With that, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. 01:04:19.140 --> 01:04:20.140 Thank you, Angie. 01:04:20.140 --> 01:04:23.980 Any questions for Angie? 01:04:23.980 --> 01:04:26.180 Thank you very much. 01:04:26.180 --> 01:04:27.180 Commissioner Smith. 01:04:27.180 --> 01:04:29.380 Make a motion to approve. 01:04:29.380 --> 01:04:30.380 Commissioner Cole. 01:04:30.380 --> 01:04:31.380 Second. 01:04:31.380 --> 01:04:32.380 Okay. 01:04:32.380 --> 01:04:36.220 We've got a first and a second for approval of this plat extension. 01:04:36.220 --> 01:04:37.220 Any discussion? 01:04:37.220 --> 01:04:38.220 Okay. 01:04:38.220 --> 01:04:48.580 Seeing none, let's vote on the board, please. 01:04:48.580 --> 01:04:51.380 That motion carries 7-0. 01:04:51.380 --> 01:04:57.380 As I mentioned at the start of our meeting, our public hearing item 5ADCA230001 is being 01:04:57.380 --> 01:04:59.300 postponed and will be re-noticed. 01:04:59.300 --> 01:05:07.820 We will not be taking action on that item today, and 5BZ220022 as well will be re-noticed 01:05:07.820 --> 01:05:08.820 on a future date. 01:05:08.820 --> 01:05:11.540 We will not be taking action on that item this evening. 01:05:11.540 --> 01:05:21.180 So that will move us to our planning and zoning matrix, and I will let Tina have the floor. 01:05:21.180 --> 01:05:23.340 Thank you, Chair Ellis. 01:05:23.340 --> 01:05:25.220 Looks like I have the longer report this evening. 01:05:25.220 --> 01:05:30.860 No, actually, just real quick, a few items, projects you're aware of that we're working 01:05:30.860 --> 01:05:31.860 on. 01:05:31.860 --> 01:05:36.880 So the downtown area plan project, as Ron mentioned earlier this evening in his presentation, 01:05:36.880 --> 01:05:42.580 we do have the contract slated to go to council at the end of this month on June 27th. 01:05:42.580 --> 01:05:47.060 And so once we get that contract approved by city council, then we will take the next 01:05:47.060 --> 01:05:51.980 steps and start working with our consultant to our kickoff meeting and roll out into some 01:05:51.980 --> 01:05:55.620 extensive public engagement with that particular project. 01:05:55.620 --> 01:05:59.500 Southeast Denton, recent activities related to that project, or we've added a few more 01:05:59.500 --> 01:06:04.380 members to the steering committee, and so council took action at their previous meeting 01:06:04.380 --> 01:06:06.180 as it relates to that. 01:06:06.180 --> 01:06:12.140 We do have another round of listening sessions that we are hosting next week on June 21st 01:06:12.140 --> 01:06:18.580 from 6 to 8, as well as June 22nd from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Junior Recreation 01:06:18.580 --> 01:06:19.900 Center here in Denton. 01:06:19.900 --> 01:06:24.340 And so with folks missed out on getting to meet with our consultant team back in April, 01:06:24.340 --> 01:06:27.300 then they have another opportunity to meet with them next week. 01:06:27.300 --> 01:06:34.020 And so we've done some additional extensive public engagement and outreach to obtain that 01:06:34.020 --> 01:06:36.540 event, we'll have folks come and participate. 01:06:36.540 --> 01:06:41.260 We also have, with the Juneteenth festivities that are happening this weekend, so we're 01:06:41.260 --> 01:06:42.540 going to have a presence. 01:06:42.540 --> 01:06:46.980 Our team will, I know Julie and Mia have been working hard preparing for this event, along 01:06:46.980 --> 01:06:50.940 with our consultant team, we will have a booth there at the Juneteenth event. 01:06:50.940 --> 01:06:56.080 So we'll have staff present on Friday evening and on Saturday. 01:06:56.080 --> 01:07:00.460 If folks have questions, want to talk with us so we can promote the project and hopefully 01:07:00.460 --> 01:07:03.660 gain some additional feedback from the community that way. 01:07:03.660 --> 01:07:09.940 I know the team is also meeting with representatives from LULAC on Saturday as well, because they 01:07:09.940 --> 01:07:12.540 obviously have an interest within the project area. 01:07:12.540 --> 01:07:18.220 The team will also be doing some intercept surveys next week, being out in the community 01:07:18.220 --> 01:07:22.300 as well, again, trying to receive feedback from folks as it relates to the future of 01:07:22.300 --> 01:07:24.060 Southeast Denton. 01:07:24.060 --> 01:07:29.700 And then we will have our first steering committee meeting also next Friday, and I know the team's 01:07:29.700 --> 01:07:35.860 going to be at the Sedna meeting on June 26th, so again, really pushing that public engagement, 01:07:35.860 --> 01:07:39.900 really trying to have folks come and talk with us, learn more about the project, and 01:07:39.900 --> 01:07:45.060 truly be involved in this plan that we're working on, because it is truly a community-driven 01:07:45.060 --> 01:07:47.400 plan from that perspective. 01:07:47.400 --> 01:07:50.140 Northeast, really no updates as it relates to that. 01:07:50.140 --> 01:07:54.340 We're working on more of the analysis, starting to develop strategies. 01:07:54.340 --> 01:07:58.700 The steering committee did meet here recently, and my apologies, I forgot to write the date 01:07:58.700 --> 01:08:03.120 down, but we have been working with them in that regard. 01:08:03.120 --> 01:08:07.700 And then lastly, I know the DCRC, some of you serve on the DCRC, and then the rest of 01:08:07.700 --> 01:08:10.740 you are interested in what they're working on in their calendar. 01:08:10.740 --> 01:08:14.660 They're actually going to take a short hiatus this summer, a couple of reasons why. 01:08:14.660 --> 01:08:20.620 One allows folks to be able to take vacations and get trips planned, or be able to address 01:08:20.620 --> 01:08:22.860 their trips that they may have planned. 01:08:22.860 --> 01:08:26.740 Also gives us a little more time to be able to prepare some materials as we bring back, 01:08:26.740 --> 01:08:30.340 as parking is going to be one of those items that we hit the ground running with. 01:08:30.340 --> 01:08:36.980 And then also, we have, hopefully we'll get an additional council appointee to the committee 01:08:36.980 --> 01:08:40.420 as well, that ideally will happen this summer. 01:08:40.420 --> 01:08:44.580 So want to be able to start with a full slate, if at all possible. 01:08:44.580 --> 01:08:47.060 We look to resume on August 14th. 01:08:47.060 --> 01:08:50.580 So for those of you that are on that committee, I know there was some discussion about possibly 01:08:50.580 --> 01:08:57.320 getting together in late July, but our topic that we were anticipating, they have a conflict 01:08:57.320 --> 01:08:58.320 with DME. 01:08:58.320 --> 01:09:01.100 And so we'll just start again in mid-August on that. 01:09:01.100 --> 01:09:08.500 So but nonetheless, so they remain busy, and I should mention we did provide an update 01:09:08.500 --> 01:09:12.900 on our public engagement plan as it relates to short-term rentals. 01:09:12.900 --> 01:09:18.180 And so we'll be working on that because the DCRC wanted to make sure that we get out into 01:09:18.180 --> 01:09:22.740 the community, receive feedback from the community, because they wanted to get that feedback first 01:09:22.740 --> 01:09:26.540 before being able to make any additional decisions as it relates on code amendments. 01:09:26.540 --> 01:09:29.180 So we have that going on as well. 01:09:29.180 --> 01:09:31.540 So that concludes my report. 01:09:31.540 --> 01:09:38.140 Other than we will note the comprehensive plan annual update item as, or having that 01:09:38.140 --> 01:09:42.060 noted that we provided an update this evening for the commission's benefit. 01:09:42.060 --> 01:09:46.540 And also, we are going to provide similar information to city council so that they're 01:09:46.540 --> 01:09:50.500 aware of all the work that has been accomplished by the city organization as a whole as it 01:09:50.500 --> 01:09:52.960 relates to our comprehensive plan implementation. 01:09:52.960 --> 01:09:53.980 That concludes my report. 01:09:53.980 --> 01:09:54.980 Thank you. 01:09:54.980 --> 01:09:55.980 Thank you, Tina. 01:09:55.980 --> 01:09:57.380 Anything for the matrix? 01:09:57.380 --> 01:09:58.380 Commissioner Villarreal. 01:09:58.380 --> 01:10:02.460 Just a quick question in regards to the Southeast Denton area plan preparation. 01:10:02.460 --> 01:10:07.020 I understand that attendance may have been lower than expected. 01:10:07.020 --> 01:10:11.180 Was that staff's expectations in terms of the amount of folks that ended up coming out 01:10:11.180 --> 01:10:12.980 to the listening sessions? 01:10:12.980 --> 01:10:14.100 Yes. 01:10:14.100 --> 01:10:18.400 So it does not surprise us that our numbers were lower compared to, I know it gets compared 01:10:18.400 --> 01:10:22.140 a lot with the Northeast Denton plan because of the numbers that we've had at the, some 01:10:22.140 --> 01:10:23.860 of the public engagement. 01:10:23.860 --> 01:10:29.100 But when we're working with a community that has experienced past harm by an organization 01:10:29.100 --> 01:10:35.260 who feels that they're not heard from the city as an organization, then it does not 01:10:35.260 --> 01:10:37.980 surprise me that folks are not wanting to be engaged. 01:10:37.980 --> 01:10:44.680 And so hence why I can't tell you how much my team has really been trying to work on 01:10:44.680 --> 01:10:49.060 maximizing relationships and, you know, they talk to one individual, you know, do you know 01:10:49.060 --> 01:10:52.940 of anybody else that would be interested in this project and they reach out to them and 01:10:52.940 --> 01:10:55.220 do you know anybody else that'll be reached out in this project. 01:10:55.220 --> 01:11:00.220 So hence why they've been working really hard and really having a presence and getting information 01:11:00.220 --> 01:11:03.180 out especially this next round of listening sessions. 01:11:03.180 --> 01:11:07.900 We had our invitations translated into Spanish because we know that we have residents that 01:11:07.900 --> 01:11:11.060 are Spanish speaking that are in this area of the community. 01:11:11.060 --> 01:11:18.100 And so we were concerned that maybe that's why that particular demographic did not participate 01:11:18.100 --> 01:11:19.980 in our listening sessions previously. 01:11:19.980 --> 01:11:23.940 We intend to have a translator on site as well to be able to help so that hopefully 01:11:23.940 --> 01:11:27.860 language is not a barrier of communication as it relates to this project. 01:11:27.860 --> 01:11:32.940 But it doesn't surprise me that we've had low numbers on these kind of projects. 01:11:32.940 --> 01:11:34.700 It's kind of hit or miss. 01:11:34.700 --> 01:11:37.780 Mostly northeast, very engaged community, right. 01:11:37.780 --> 01:11:45.580 And so they've got a strong network that they utilize in being able to communicate to folks 01:11:45.580 --> 01:11:47.660 that have an interest in that project area. 01:11:47.660 --> 01:11:53.780 So it's I would say don't compare the two areas and hold one against the other because 01:11:53.780 --> 01:11:56.620 they're completely different situations that we're dealing with. 01:11:56.620 --> 01:11:57.620 Right. 01:11:57.620 --> 01:12:02.580 And my next question and your part probably answered it fully was did we change anything 01:12:02.580 --> 01:12:06.900 between the first round of listening sessions in terms of reaching out to the community 01:12:06.900 --> 01:12:08.420 to the summer listening sessions. 01:12:08.420 --> 01:12:12.700 It sounds like we are doing a better job of reaching out to the Hispanic community in 01:12:12.700 --> 01:12:16.940 southeastern which it's about half the population there. 01:12:16.940 --> 01:12:17.940 Absolutely. 01:12:17.940 --> 01:12:25.700 So we're trying to leverage all forms of communication that we can to get folks to participate. 01:12:25.700 --> 01:12:32.380 Also trying to get a certain age of demographic as well as it relates to that project. 01:12:32.380 --> 01:12:37.380 And so yes, we we've been working with our consultant to see what could we do to retool 01:12:37.380 --> 01:12:39.900 as it relates to those public engagement sessions. 01:12:39.900 --> 01:12:40.900 Fantastic. 01:12:40.900 --> 01:12:41.900 Thank you. 01:12:41.900 --> 01:12:42.900 You're welcome. 01:12:42.900 --> 01:12:43.900 Commissioner Cole. 01:12:43.900 --> 01:12:44.900 Yeah. 01:12:44.900 --> 01:12:53.060 On the same frequency are the two smaller plans the same size as committee as far as people 01:12:53.060 --> 01:12:55.580 or. 01:12:55.580 --> 01:12:56.580 Right now? 01:12:56.580 --> 01:12:57.580 No. 01:12:57.580 --> 01:13:04.780 And so the again we just Julie how many total are we up to for southeast on the steering 01:13:04.780 --> 01:13:05.780 committee. 01:13:05.780 --> 01:13:09.620 Are we at eight now. 01:13:09.620 --> 01:13:12.300 We have nine on the steering committee. 01:13:12.300 --> 01:13:14.300 We could go up to a maximum of 15. 01:13:14.300 --> 01:13:18.100 So we wanted to keep it around the 10 to 15. 01:13:18.100 --> 01:13:20.340 We think that's probably the best. 01:13:20.340 --> 01:13:25.460 Seems the lower end probably would be more beneficial to get a quorum you know if you're 01:13:25.460 --> 01:13:27.780 if you're comparing right. 01:13:27.780 --> 01:13:35.540 So it's we again trying to maximize those relationships we just received additional 01:13:35.540 --> 01:13:40.500 names that we got added to the steering committee here at the last council meeting. 01:13:40.500 --> 01:13:45.100 And so as as we continue to work on these projects if more people get interested there 01:13:45.100 --> 01:13:47.420 may be some that will be willing to serve. 01:13:47.420 --> 01:13:51.900 I think there's a misnomer out there that we're meeting every single week or that they 01:13:51.900 --> 01:13:55.700 would have to meet every single week and that and that's not the case. 01:13:55.700 --> 01:14:00.780 I know that comment was made by an individual and so we want to try to make sure that that 01:14:00.780 --> 01:14:05.020 message was out there is that you're only meeting four times as it relates to the project. 01:14:05.020 --> 01:14:09.580 You know it could be that that number expands but really we've got a schedule put in place 01:14:09.580 --> 01:14:16.260 where they would meet potentially four times and we do a really good job of trying to use 01:14:16.260 --> 01:14:20.580 their time wisely and obtain their feedback when we need it on the project. 01:14:20.580 --> 01:14:22.940 So even with both groups right. 01:14:22.940 --> 01:14:27.060 So the Northeast Denton plan obviously it's a little bit larger steering committee. 01:14:27.060 --> 01:14:32.060 We just had many more people that are willing and interested in participating and you know 01:14:32.060 --> 01:14:34.940 met several of the categories that we were interested in having feedback on. 01:14:34.940 --> 01:14:39.620 So hopefully we'll have hopefully have a similar challenge with downtown where we have more 01:14:39.620 --> 01:14:43.700 people wanting to serve on the steering committee than then ideally we have positions for that. 01:14:43.700 --> 01:14:44.700 So Commissioner McDade. 01:14:44.700 --> 01:14:45.700 Thank you. 01:14:45.700 --> 01:14:52.620 Tina I am I need you to go back you said the steering the South East End steering committee 01:14:52.620 --> 01:15:00.340 was going to go into me when we have them scheduled for next Friday June 23rd. 01:15:00.340 --> 01:15:08.340 What time one thirty one thirty is when they're meeting at the Martin Luther King Center or 01:15:08.340 --> 01:15:15.020 where I have a question is that is that going to be like a closed session or technically 01:15:15.020 --> 01:15:16.940 it is an open meeting. 01:15:16.940 --> 01:15:21.180 All of the conversations and discussion would be limited to the steering committee. 01:15:21.180 --> 01:15:25.780 If we had time remaining then there could be an opportunity to receive any comments 01:15:25.780 --> 01:15:26.780 at that time. 01:15:26.780 --> 01:15:30.780 I know we had that happen with the Northeast steering committee here recently. 01:15:30.780 --> 01:15:34.960 So in their case we use the full allotted time and then some. 01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:36.900 So but it is an open meeting. 01:15:36.900 --> 01:15:40.100 People are welcome to attend but the discussion will be limited to the steering committee 01:15:40.100 --> 01:15:41.400 and where is the meeting. 01:15:41.400 --> 01:15:45.200 It will be at the Development Services Center at 401 North Elm. 01:15:45.200 --> 01:15:46.200 Okay. 01:15:46.200 --> 01:15:47.200 All right. 01:15:47.200 --> 01:15:48.200 Thank you. 01:15:48.200 --> 01:15:49.200 You bet. 01:15:49.200 --> 01:15:50.200 Okay. 01:15:50.200 --> 01:15:51.200 Great. 01:15:51.200 --> 01:15:52.200 Other things for the matrix. 01:15:52.200 --> 01:15:53.200 Yeah. 01:15:53.200 --> 01:15:56.460 And thank you to staff for I mean working so hard on both these area plans and it definitely 01:15:56.460 --> 01:16:00.220 shouldn't be compared and attended and none of that should be compared. 01:16:00.220 --> 01:16:02.460 That's just because they happen to be running at the same time. 01:16:02.460 --> 01:16:06.900 They're two vastly different areas with vastly different problems. 01:16:06.900 --> 01:16:14.260 So the issue is it's so great that we have both of these in place and momentum will get 01:16:14.260 --> 01:16:20.300 going and as you all stay on it and people will get involved and we'll have positive 01:16:20.300 --> 01:16:24.100 things come out of both of them I am certain. 01:16:24.100 --> 01:16:28.860 Tina one thing to add to the matrix if you could and you know this is just coming out 01:16:28.860 --> 01:16:33.700 of the work session discussion today but could we get some kind somebody here from Rhodes 01:16:33.700 --> 01:16:36.940 to talk about our text dot Rhodes. 01:16:36.940 --> 01:16:37.940 What is happening. 01:16:37.940 --> 01:16:45.020 You said a few words today that you know were interesting about maybe take back or what. 01:16:45.020 --> 01:16:50.500 I mean I would love a synopsis in a work session report by someone I think that would do all 01:16:50.500 --> 01:16:55.460 of us good to to yeah to get a yes. 01:16:55.460 --> 01:16:56.460 Absolutely. 01:16:56.460 --> 01:17:00.960 So just what's happening just so a discussion regarding all of our text out roadways or 01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:04.900 just particularly Almond Locus. 01:17:04.900 --> 01:17:12.860 Well I suppose Almond Locus would probably be a great discussion wouldn't it. 01:17:12.860 --> 01:17:14.100 I guess let's start there. 01:17:14.100 --> 01:17:15.780 Why don't we do that. 01:17:15.780 --> 01:17:22.020 That way we can get a lot of information and make it not be quite so broad. 01:17:22.020 --> 01:17:27.980 So we get some specific questions answered that commissioners brought up and I know that 01:17:27.980 --> 01:17:32.020 all of us are getting questions on from citizens. 01:17:32.020 --> 01:17:33.020 OK. 01:17:33.020 --> 01:17:34.020 Yes. 01:17:34.020 --> 01:17:35.020 We can add that. 01:17:35.020 --> 01:17:39.180 And to that point I mean if you are interested in other text out roadways that we have here 01:17:39.180 --> 01:17:45.700 in the city the mobility committee receives I believe it's a monthly report or quarterly 01:17:45.700 --> 01:17:53.180 report but if you go to like city of Denton public meetings it takes you to our public 01:17:53.180 --> 01:17:57.580 meeting page that has all of the various boards of commissions and committees that meet click 01:17:57.580 --> 01:18:01.100 on mobility committee and then you can look at their meeting dates. 01:18:01.100 --> 01:18:04.820 One of the things like I said they get a it's either a monthly or quarterly report from 01:18:04.820 --> 01:18:10.340 a consultant that we work with I.T.S. they provide a report as it relates to all of the 01:18:10.340 --> 01:18:17.540 text our roadways projects that are happening within our city and it includes timelines 01:18:17.540 --> 01:18:21.220 associated with the project the latest status as it relates to that and if members serves 01:18:21.220 --> 01:18:25.060 me correctly they even highlight in yellow what's changed since the previous meeting 01:18:25.060 --> 01:18:30.740 but it's a great summary it's a tool that I have a tendency to utilize to see where 01:18:30.740 --> 01:18:35.860 we are on on certain projects but just given our sheer number of text out roadways that 01:18:35.860 --> 01:18:37.340 we have within our community. 01:18:37.340 --> 01:18:41.020 But but as it relates to that matrix request we can definitely get a presentation regarding 01:18:41.020 --> 01:18:45.660 element locus appreciate it Commissioner Pruitt yeah I just wanted to second the request from 01:18:45.660 --> 01:18:48.420 chair Ellis I think that'll be very helpful. 01:18:48.420 --> 01:18:53.540 What I would like to hear is specifically element locusts with take back concerning 01:18:53.540 --> 01:18:57.540 how that integrates with the downtown plan as well. 01:18:57.540 --> 01:19:02.460 And then maybe just a brief update of how the scheduling is looking for the remaining 01:19:02.460 --> 01:19:07.720 phases of Bonnie Brae versus the thirty five why project there's just a lot of stuff going 01:19:07.720 --> 01:19:13.780 on over there there's a lot of things breaking ground for industrial stuff west of their 01:19:13.780 --> 01:19:18.420 just kind of how how that mess is going to play out over the next five years would be 01:19:18.420 --> 01:19:19.420 helpful. 01:19:19.420 --> 01:19:25.380 Okay so I heard Bonnie Brae project and I'm sorry what in relationship to thirty five. 01:19:25.380 --> 01:19:32.020 So the messaging I've heard from staff before was that one of the main goals with the Bonnie 01:19:32.020 --> 01:19:37.220 Brae project and getting it funded earlier with the twenty nineteen bond and previously 01:19:37.220 --> 01:19:43.100 was to get that project completed before text comes through and rips up thirty five with 01:19:43.100 --> 01:19:49.920 the interchange between E and W to be able to handle some of the overflow traffic. 01:19:49.920 --> 01:19:54.780 So just it doesn't have to be a long update I would say let's focus on on element locusts 01:19:54.780 --> 01:20:02.140 but if there's information that would be pertinent to our you know decisions in that area with 01:20:02.140 --> 01:20:07.060 what's happening there it may help answer some questions on the front end if that makes 01:20:07.060 --> 01:20:08.060 sense. 01:20:08.060 --> 01:20:19.900 Okay thank you okay any concluding items okay well with that I wish everybody a happy flag 01:20:19.900 --> 01:20:24.940 day enjoy the rest of your evening and I will adjourn us at seven thirteen p.m. Thank you.
