Mar 16, 2026 City Council

OKAY. WELL, IT'S MONDAY, MARCH 16TH AND WE ARE GOING TO GET STARTED

[A. WORK SESSION]

[00:00:07]

OKAY. WE HAVE OUR FIRST ITEM.

WELL, OUR ONLY ITEM IS THE PRESENTATION BY STEVEN COOK WITH DUNAWAY AND ASSOCIATES PRESENTING THE THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR PROPOSAL.

OKAY. YEAH. SO STEVEN COOK WITH DUNAWAY HAS BEEN WORKING ON REVISING OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, AND HE'LL BE PRESENTING TO YOU ALL TONIGHT BEFORE WE PASS IT.

AND HE HAS A PRESENTATION.

AND REALLY WHAT HE'S DONE IS HE'S, HE'S MADE IT FLOW EASIER.

AND SO WHEN RESIDENTS LOOK AT THIS ZONING ORDINANCE HE'S EVEN PUT IN SOME PICTURES OF SETBACKS. SO LIKE YOU'LL SEE A RESIDENTIAL HOUSE WITH A FENCE AND MAYBE A POOL AND AN ACCESSORY BUILDING AND IT'LL HAVE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.

AND SO IT JUST MAKES IT EASIER TO WORK THROUGH IT.

AND HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB.

AND HE'S HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU ALL. STEVEN. GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH, BLAKE. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS IS NOT CONNECTED.

WELL, WELL, IT WAS WORKING EARLIER.

IT'S ON THE ON THE LAPTOP, BUT NOT ON YOUR DISPLAY HERE.

SO LET'S LOOK AT ONE THING.

THERE WE GO. OKAY. YOU HAVE TO SAY DISPLAY ON ON SHOW.

SO IT'LL BE JUST FINE.

OKAY. GOT IT. THANK YOU. GET BACK TO THE FRONT.

ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING US SOME TIME ON YOUR WORK SESSION THIS EVENING. AGAIN, MY NAME IS STEVEN COOK.

I'M THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING FOR DUNAWAY ASSOCIATES, AND I AM SO GLAD TO CONTINUE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY OF HUTCHINS.

WE'VE BEEN AROUND FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW.

WE GOT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DONE LAST YEAR, AND TIM, BEFORE HE GRACIOUSLY RETIRED HELPED US GET ON BOARD TO HELP YOU START IMPLEMENTING THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST TOOLS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IS UPDATING YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE AND YOUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, OR ARE TWO SEPARATE ORDINANCES IN YOUR CODE OF ORDINANCES THAT REALLY DEAL SPECIFICALLY WITH DEVELOPMENT. AND SO NOW WE'VE KIND OF DONE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO ORDINANCES, AND WE'LL KIND OF GO THROUGH SOME OF THE MAJOR CHANGES THAT WE'VE DONE THROUGH THE PROCESS. WE'VE BEEN REGULARLY MEETING WITH YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

IT'S KIND OF USING THEM AS OUR STEERING COMMITTEE AND ASKING THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO SEE, MAKE MODIFICATIONS.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE HEARD FROM THE VERY ONSET WAS THAT, LIKE BLAKE TALKED ABOUT, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS ORDINANCE IS USABLE NOT ONLY FOR THE APPLICANTS.

SO THEY COME IN AND SAY, OKAY, THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO DEAL WITH THINGS IN THE CITY OF HUTCHINS, BUT IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE GOOD FOR YOUR STAFF. WE WANT YOUR STAFF TO BE ABLE TO USE YOUR ORDINANCE AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT, HOW WE CAN GO AHEAD AND GET IT.

AND THAT'S THAT. YOU KNOW, THAT'S A BIG PART OF TRYING TO MAKE LEGAL DOCUMENTATION ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE AND BEING ABLE TO BE UTILIZED.

BUT STILL, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THAT YOU ARE GETTING THE LEGAL PROTECTION THAT YOU NEED OUT OF YOUR ORDINANCE AS WELL.

SO THERE'S STILL SOME LEGAL LANGUAGE IN THERE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE OCCUR.

SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU AS A WORK SESSION.

WE WANTED YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF READ THROUGH THESE ORDINANCES, TAKE A LOOK AND GIVE US SOME MORE FEEDBACK AS WE GO THROUGH IT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ALSO MAKING SURE THAT YOUR ATTORNEY TAKES A LOOK AT THESE ORDINANCES, BECAUSE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IS THAT YOU ALLOW PROFESSIONALS TO READ THROUGH AND WRITE ORDINANCES TO HELP YOU THINGS OUT.

BUT ALSO, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH YOUR ATTORNEY, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T LEAVE ANY LOOPHOLES IN THERE SO THAT WE GET GET YOUR PROTECTION THROUGH THROUGH THAT, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO DO SOME PUBLIC HEARINGS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GET THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE IN, IN PLACE.

SO AGAIN, WHAT IS THE BIG PICTURE? WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ORDINANCES WERE CLEAR FOR DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS THROUGH OUR PLANNING DOCUMENTS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A STREAMLINED APPROVAL PROCESS AND TIMELINES.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR TIMELINES FOR APPROVAL FOR ZONING CASES, SITE PLANS, BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR PLATS, THE CREATION OF SUBDIVISIONS IN YOUR COMMUNITY, MEET THE STANDARDS OF STATE LAW BECAUSE STATE LAW IS VERY SPECIFIC OVER THE LAST SEVERAL LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS ON HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE TO BE.

ABLE TO SUBMIT SOMETHING, GET IT REVIEWED AND THEN GET IT BEFORE YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND YOURSELVES FOR APPROVAL.

[00:05:03]

WE DON'T HAVE VIDEO RENTALS PLACES ANYMORE.

SO WE KIND OF TOOK OUT SOME OF THOSE TYPES OF USES AND WE PUT IN AND CONSOLIDATED SOME OF THE USES TOGETHER. WE HAD A LOT OF DIFFERENT KIND OF MANUFACTURING IN THERE.

WE PUT THOSE TOGETHER AS SIMILAR TYPES OF USES.

WE DON'T WANT TO PUT ANY OF YOUR EXISTING BUSINESSES OUT OF SHAPE WITH YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE. SO WE MADE SURE WE TRIED TO DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THEY STILL FIT IN WITH THOSE ZONING DISTRICTS, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT. BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE THINGS MUCH MORE MODERN, CONCISE, AND USER FRIENDLY.

THERE'S NO CHANGE IN THEM.

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LAND USES, WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'VE GOT MANUFACTURING THIS AND MANUFACTURING THAT AND MANUFACTURING THE THIRD, THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT ONES THAT ARE ALL CONSIDERED AS MANUFACTURING.

SO WE PUT THOSE TOGETHER AND WE WE UPDATED YOUR DEFINITIONS OF MANUFACTURING.

SO WE DIDN'T CHANGE IT FROM MANUFACTURING AVAILABILITY, BUT WE JUST, YOU KNOW, WE WANTED TO CONSOLIDATE SOME OF THE THINGS SO THAT THOSE DEFINITIONS WERE MORE ENCAPSULATING.

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME, SIR. WE WANTED TO ALSO MAKE SURE THAT THE BIGGEST PART IS THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW AND THAT WE'RE IMPLEMENTING YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THAT YOU HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT IN BRINGING FORWARD.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE FIRST.

SO THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE IS REALLY SPECIFIC TO THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU.

WE ARE WE ALIGNED IT FOR THREE ARTICLES.

THE STRUCTURE FOR THE WORKFLOW, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS A CLEAR PROCESS FOR THE CREATION OF SUBDIVISION PLATS IN THE COMMUNITY.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS A WHAT IS A PRELIMINARY PLAT? YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR IT TO COME INTO THE CITY AND HAVE A PRE-APPLICATION MEETING SO THAT THE CITY CAN GET OUR STUFF TOGETHER, READY TO GO AND TALK TO A DEVELOPER BEFORE THEY COME IN AND BEFORE THEY MAKE AN APPLICATION. BECAUSE THE WORST THING IS THEY COME IN WITH AN APPLICATION THAT'S HALF FILLED OUT, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SAY, OH, IT'S NOT RIGHT.

WE NEED YOU TO GO BACK AND TRY AGAIN.

SO WE WANT TO TRY AND MAKE THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS THOROUGH AND RIGOROUS.

RIGOROUS BUT NOT DEMONSTRABLY AGAINST DEVELOPMENT.

WE WANT IT TO BE THAT GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEVELOPERS AND PROTECTING THE CITY. SO AS PART OF THAT WE ALSO MADE SURE THAT WE MADE COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW ON ALL OF YOUR PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT, YOUR APPLICATION SUBMITTAL TIMES.

THERE'S A 30 DAY SHOT CLOCK BETWEEN THE FORMAL ACCEPTANCE OF A PLAT AND THEN THE APPROVAL PROCESS. AND IF THAT PLATS NOT NOT READY TO GO, TAKE IT BEFORE YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO DENY IT SAYING X, Y, AND Z ARE NOT CORRECT BY OUR ORDINANCE NUMBERS AND GO AND TRY IT AGAIN AND RESUBMIT.

WE ALSO MADE SURE THAT THERE WAS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR WHO IS GOING TO APPROVE WHAT IN YOUR ORDINANCE, AND WE MADE THAT VERY, VERY CLEAR. THERE ARE CERTAIN TYPES OF PLANTS THAT DO NOT NEED TO BE COMING BEFORE YOU PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLATS, NEW DEVELOPMENT REPLANTS NEW DEVELOPMENT AND SUBDIVIDING THAT AFFECTS YOUR MAY AFFECT YOUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND YOUR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. THOSE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO COME BEFORE YOU.

BUT IF IT'S A MINOR PLAT, YOU'VE GOT A LOT THAT IS GOING TO BE SPLIT INTO FOUR LOTS OR LESS AND DOESN'T PUT ON ANY ADDITIONAL ROADS.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY ADDITIONAL DEDICATION AND IT DOESN'T MESS WITH ANY EXISTING COVENANTS. THEN LET'S GET THAT APPROVED BY YOUR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF.

THEY REVIEW IT, MAKE SURE THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF YOUR ZONING APPROVAL BY STAFF. ANOTHER TYPE OF PLAT IS A AMENDING PLAT.

SOMETIMES PROFESSIONALS MAKE MISTAKES.

AND ONE OF THOSE THINGS THEY DO IS A CALL LINE.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR DISTANCE IS, IS INCORRECT ON A RECORDED PLAT.

AND THEY HAVE TO COME BACK AND AMEND THAT PLAT IN ORDER FOR TITLE WORK TO GO THROUGH AND SELL THE PROPERTY.

THOSE KINDS OF AMENDMENTS HAVE TO COME THROUGH STAFF AND LET THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

AND THOSE ARE THOSE CAN BE EASILY ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED.

WE ALSO MADE SURE THAT WE LOOK AT THE TECHNICAL STANDARDS OF YOUR PLATS AND MAKE SURE THE UPDATED SUBMISSION FORMATS.

THERE'S SOME NEW STATE LAWS THAT REQUIRE THERE TO UTILIZING GROUNDWATER THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A CERTIFICATION BY A LICENSED ENGINEER, THAT GROUNDWATER AVAILABILITY IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS EXEMPTIONS REMOVED AND PLATTING APPLICABILITY

[00:10:02]

YOU HAVE A LARGE LOT AND YOU WANT TO SUBDIVIDE IT FURTHER, BUT IT'S IN A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.

PREVIOUSLY, YOU HAD TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.

WELL, THE STATE DOESN'T REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING ANYMORE, BUT IT REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE A NOTICE TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200FT OF THAT SAME SUBDIVISION AFTER IT'S BEEN APPROVED.

SO YOUR REPLAT STILL HAS TO MEET ALL OF YOUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS, STILL HAS TO MEET ALL OF YOUR ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS FOR THEM TO SUBDIVIDE A LOT.

FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES INTO A AND TO FURTHER SMALLER LOTS.

BUT THERE DOES NOT REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING.

UNLESS THERE'S A VARIANCE, THEN THEY HAVE.

YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT THOSE ARE VERY FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.

BUT THAT PROCESS HAS BEEN INCLUDED.

ONE OF THE OTHER BIG ASPECTS I WANTED TO ALSO TALK ABOUT IN YOUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE THAT WASN'T THERE PREVIOUSLY IS WE ADDED SOME LANGUAGE ABOUT THE DEDICATION OF, OF OF ITEMS FOR THE COMMUNITY.

IF YOU HAVE TO REQUIRE THE DEDICATION OF, OF PARKS, IF YOU DEDICATION OF UTILITY EASEMENTS, THE DEDICATION OF PUBLIC ROADS, ALL OF THAT IS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL STANDARDS TO BE HAVE A RATIONAL NEXUS TO BE A ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY. THESE ARE VERY SPECIFIC FEDERAL TERMS THAT SAY THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE DEDICATING PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR THE PUBLIC USE IN CREATING A SUBDIVISION.

AND MOST SUBDIVIDERS AND DEVELOPERS UNDERSTAND THIS, THEN THERE HAS TO BE A RELATIONSHIP FOR THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY THAT YOU'RE DEDICATING TO THE IMPACT THAT YOU'RE DOING.

FROM BRINGING IN NEW DEVELOPMENT INTO THE COMMUNITY.

AND IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE THAT THE CITY IS TAKING TOO MUCH, THEN THERE HAS TO BE A PROCESS IN ORDER TO APPEAL TO THAT PROCESS.

AND SO WE HAVE ADDED IN A ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY APPEAL PROCESS.

AGAIN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS DONE VERY WELL.

A LOT OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS CAN BE COMMUNICATED EXTREMELY WELL.

BEFORE AND THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

AND SO THAT THERE IS AN UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DEVELOPER EXACTLY WHAT IS REQUIRED OF THEM TO DEVELOP IN THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT THOSE ENGINEERING STANDARDS AND ALL THE ROAD DEPTHS AND WIDTHS AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS HAVE TO BE DONE IN ORDER FOR YOU TO DEVELOP. BUT THERE'S ALWAYS THAT ONE PERSON WHO MIGHT NOT AGREE AND STILL FEEL THAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE AN APPEAL.

AND SO THAT PROCESS IS PUT IN.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS LEGAL TERMINOLOGY.

IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE A SPECIFIC PROCESS TO FOLLOW IN THE CASE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT OCCURS.

SO THE OTHER ZONING, OTHER ORDINANCE THAT WE WORKED ON IS THE LARGER ONE.

IT'S YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE. THIS IS YOUR LEGAL ABILITY TO CONTROL PROPERTY USE AND WHAT THAT PROPERTY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND THE DESIGN STANDARDS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS ALIGN IT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SOME OF THE GOALS OF LOOKING AT ADDING ADDITIONAL HOUSING TYPES.

ALSO LOOKING AT SOME OF THE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THOSE HOUSING TYPES SO THAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY ENSURE GOOD PROPERTY DESIGN AND WE WANT TO MAKE IT USER FRIENDLY.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS ABOUT THAT IS BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT A PROPERTY, UNDERSTAND FROM YOUR ZONING MAP WHAT THAT PROPERTY IS ZONED, GO TO YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE, FIND THE ZONING DISTRICT.

WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS FOR THAT ZONING DISTRICT? LOOK AT THE PERMITTED USE TABLE SAYING, I'M GOING TO PUT A BRAND NEW CAR DEALERSHIP IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT OR A GROCERY STORE IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT, AND WHICH IS A HOPEFUL ASPECT FOR THE CITY OF HUTCHINS.

AND THAT IS ONE OF OUR ASPIRATIONS THAT WE WANTED TO PUT INTO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO YOU LOOK AT THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT, AND WE DEFINE WHAT THE GROCERY STORE IS AND YOUR DEFINITIONS.

AND THEN WE ALSO PUT IN THE SAME EXACT LANGUAGE INTO YOUR PARKING STANDARDS.

SO IN ALL THREE OF THOSE LOCATIONS FROM THE PERMITTED USE TABLE TO THE PARKING STANDARDS TO THE DEFINITIONS, ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT PERMITTED USE TYPES ALL HAVE THE SAME WORDING AND HAVE THE SAME KNOWLEDGE.

SOMETIMES YOU GET COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE.

KIND OF HAPHAZARDLY ADDED THINGS INTO THE ORDINANCES OVER TIME, AND THOSE BECOME DISASSOCIATED WITH EACH OTHER.

AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A CONTINUATION OF LANGUAGE AND A CONTINUATION OF UNDERSTANDING THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRETY OF THE ORDINANCE FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LAND USES. WE'VE MADE THIS A MUCH MORE IMPROVED FORMAT AND ORGANIZATION.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO DO IS PUT ALL OF YOUR OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

[00:15:06]

AND HERE'S OUR SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARDS.

THIS IS WHERE OUR LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE ARE.

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH FOR LANDSCAPING.

THIS IS OUR PORTION FOR PARKING.

AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO HAVE? AND WHAT KINDS OF OF MATERIALS DO WE NEED TO LAY DOWN IN OUR OPEN STORAGE AREAS? AND NOW IT'S ALL PAVED SURFACES INSTEAD OF OPEN SURFACES.

THAT WAS ONE OF OUR BIGGEST NEEDS IN, IN THIS ORDINANCE WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL OPEN STORAGE AREAS.

AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A LITTLE BIT. BUT ALL OF THOSE STANDARDS ARE NOW ORGANIZED IN SUCH A WAY. SO IT MAKES A LOGICAL FLOW FOR OUR ABILITY TO GO TO OUR ORDINANCE AND UNDERSTAND WHERE THINGS GO.

WE WANTED TO, AGAIN, LOOK AT THOSE CLEAR CATEGORIES GROUPED LOGICALLY AND USE MODERN USES EXPLICITLY ADDRESSED.

WE ALSO MADE SURE THAT THERE, WE UPDATED THE NOTIFICATION AND PROCEDURAL UPDATES INTO YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE TO MEET WITH STATE LAW.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT DECISIONS MUST CONSIDER PUBLIC FACILITIES SURROUNDING ZONING DEVELOPMENT TRENDS. AND IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY AND WE UPDATED THE PROTEST REQUIREMENTS. WE ALSO ADDED A FLOWCHART.

SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE THAT WE CAN ADD INTO THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW SOMEBODY WHO HASN'T DEALT WITH THAT PROCESS.

YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY OWNS A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT THEIR PARENTS OWNED, AND THEY WANT TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO TO SELL THE PROPERTY. WE WELL, MAYBE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO DO.

AND SO THEN WE ALLOW THAT WHO'S NOT A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPER TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND FROM THE BEGINNING THE PROCESS THAT NEEDS TO GO FORWARD IN WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO DID FURTHER FLOWCHARTS ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND WE HOPE THAT THESE KIND OF HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT PROCESS AND GET A LITTLE BIT FURTHER IN THAT AND HOW THEY GET THINGS TAKEN CARE OF.

WE ALSO UPDATED SOME SUPPLEMENTAL USE REGULATIONS.

SOMETIMES THE USE IS APPROPRIATE IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF ADDITIONAL DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THAT.

WE WANTED TO LOOK AT IN SHORT TERM RENTALS.

WE ALSO MADE SURE THAT WE HAD ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS FOR COMMERCIAL TRUCK PARKING.

THAT'S ONE OF OUR BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT DURING OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROCESS, INCLUDING MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD CERTAIN ROAD TYPES ARE NOT GOING TO BE UTILIZED BY TRUCKS ANYMORE AND WHICH ONES ARE MORE APPROPRIATE TO.

AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT COMMERCIAL PARKING LOTS ARE GOING TO BE, IF THEY GET APPROVED, ARE GOING TO BE DESIGNED APPROPRIATELY.

WE ALSO ADDED ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HOME OCCUPATIONS TO ALSO ONE OF THOSE IS A BIG MODIFICATION BASED ON STATE LAW ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, ADUS, GROUP HOUSING, OUTDOOR STORAGE CHILDCARE AND ALCOHOL RELATED BUSINESSES.

YES, SIR. THE TRUCK STORAGE AND PARKING.

IS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE.

WE ALREADY HAVE THE GRAVEL PARKING SPACE WITH THE SEMIS.

AND SO FORTH. TYPICALLY THOSE KINDS OF THINGS ARE, ARE, ARE GRANDFATHERED WHEN YOU MAKE CHANGES INTO YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE.

YOU CAN GO THROUGH A PROCESS CALLED AMORTIZATION TO BRING THEM UP TO STANDARDS, OR YOU CAN EVEN LOOK AT IF IT CHANGES HANDS.

YOU KNOW, IF IT BECOMES A NEW CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS SOLD THEIR PARTICULAR USE TO ANOTHER DEVELOPER OR A DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP.

AND AT THAT POINT YOU CAN GO SAY, WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO ISSUE A NEW CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY UNTIL YOU BRING THE PROPERTY UP TO CODE.

I HAVE ONE IN PARTICULAR HAVE CHANGED HANDS SO THAT YOU BRING IT UP.

WELL, YOU'D HAVE TO BREAK THAT DOWN.

DO WE ACTUALLY. YOU ACTUALLY DID THIS IN THE PAST, BUT YOU DIDN'T LET ANYBODY NOW.

AND I SAID, WELL, WE HAVEN'T.

THE STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT HERE BEFORE YOU RIGHT NOW HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED.

AND SO IT'S, IT'S DIFFICULT TO GO BACK AND, AND, AND TELL THEM, YOU GOT TO BRING IT UP TO CODE.

YOU CAN CERTAINLY WORK WITH THEM AND SAY, THESE ARE OUR CURRENT STANDARDS.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WORK WITH YOUR CITY ATTORNEY ON. BUT YOU KNOW, IT IS, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WITH NEW STANDARDS, YOU, YOU CAN POTENTIALLY LOOK AT THAT.

IT HAS BEEN MY PRACTICE AS A MUNICIPAL PLANNER FOR ABOUT 28 YEARS, THAT THE BEST PROCESS WOULD BE WOULD BE TO, TO LOOK AT IT FOR THE NEXT CHANGEOVER IN IN

[00:20:04]

THAT'S WHEN WE WOULD TYPICALLY MOVE FORWARD.

YES, SIR. WHAT'S THE ADDRESS FOR? 545? IT CHANGED HANDS A COUPLE YEARS AGO. THEY GO BACK AND DO IT.

I KNOW PREVIOUSLY IT WAS IF IT WAS VACANT FOR SIX MONTHS.

THEY LOST THEIR NON-CONFORMING SWITCH OVER OWNERSHIP AND JUST KEPT ON ROLLING.

DIDN'T DIDN'T GET A NEW CEO.

THAT'S A AND SOMETIMES THAT'S A CODE COMPLIANCE.

AND WORKING WITH YOUR CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICERS AND BEING ABLE TO TO KIND OF KEEP TRACK OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S, THOSE ARE SOMETIMES GROWTH SYMPTOMS. AND YOU KNOW, WE HUTCHINS IS BRINGING THEMSELVES, YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB IN TRYING TO HELP YOUR CITY GOVERNMENT DO BETTER.

AND I THINK THAT'S, YOU KNOW, HAVING THE BACKING OF A, OF A, OF A STRONG ORDINANCE LIKE THAT ALLOWS YOUR CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICERS TO HAVE A GOOD BACKING IN MAKING THOSE KINDS OF DECISIONS.

OKAY. WE. AT THE DIRECTION OF YOUR STAFF, WE CREATED A NEW ZONING DISTRICT.

THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE WENT IN AND PUT IN THIS ZONING DISTRICT ON ANY OF YOUR MAPS.

THIS IS A NEW OPTION. AND IT'S A SF SIX 6000 SQUARE FOOT LOT TO KIND OF HELP MEET SOME OF THE DEMANDS OF THE MARKET.

RIGHT NOW. YOU STILL HAVE ALL OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD.

WE JUST ADDED THIS ONE.

IT DOES REQUIRE A MINIMUM 6000 SQUARE FOOT LOT WITH A 1200 50 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM SIZE OF THE DWELLING UNIT. THERE'S SOME WIDTHS AND SETBACK DISTANCES, WHICH ARE FAIRLY TYPICAL TO, TO SUBDIVISIONS, BUT IT JUST HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE NARROW GAUGE.

NOW WE'VE SEEN 55 FOOT LOTS, WE'VE SEEN 40 FOOT LOTS BEING BUILT IN OTHER AREAS. WE DID NOT RECOMMEND THAT TO THIS COMMUNITY.

WE WANT TO SEE QUALITY DEVELOPMENT IN SINGLE FAMILY, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS STILL.

PROVIDE THE KIND OF DISTANCES THAT ARE EXPECTED IN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT THAT ALLOWS AND INCREASES AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL.

THE ABILITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO UTILIZE THIS ZONING DISTRICT FOR POTENTIAL DEVELOPERS.

AND AGAIN, YOU AS THE COUNCIL, HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY NO IF THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT AREA FOR THIS ZONING DISTRICT TO GO IN AND YOU SAY NO AND WORK WITH THEM TO FIND A DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICT, THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. OH, IT'S NOT WORKING. BLAKE, IS THIS IF YOU TEAR DOWN A HOUSE IN A CERTAIN LOCATION, THE LOTS, 6000FT², IT ALLOWS THAT HOUSE TO BE BUILT AGAIN.

NO SF SEVEN? NO. IF THEY GET A VARIANCE, A LOT, LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS.

DO WE HAVE ANY DO WE HAVE ANY 6000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS IN THE CITY? I. I WOULD. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE FOR A NEW SUBDIVISION.

OKAY. THEY SHRINK THE LOT SIZES.

OKAY. BUT IT'S RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T. I MEAN, THERE'S SOME SUBSTANDARD HOMES THAT MIGHT FIT THAT CRITERIA, BUT I'D HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT. BUT I DON'T THINK THERE IS. AND AGAIN, THIS IS A NEW ZONING DISTRICT.

IT DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY OF THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY IN IN THE CITY, NOR DOES IT ON APPROVAL.

DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY SET ANY PROPERTY IN THE CITY TO THIS ZONING DISTRICT? THIS IS AN OPTION THAT NEW DEVELOPERS COULD COME IN AND PETITION YOU TO MAKE A DECISION FOR A PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY.

BUT AGAIN, YOU BEING THE LEGISLATORS OF THIS COMMUNITY, HAVE THE ABILITY TO TELL THEM, NO, THAT THIS IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR LAND USE.

BUT WE ADDED THIS IN HERE BECAUSE AS PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROCESS, WE SAW THAT THERE WAS A NEED FOR MORE HOUSING IN IN THE CITY, MORE HOUSING MEANS THAT WE HAVE MORE ROOFTOPS, MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE, THAT ARE LIVING HERE, THAT ARE INVESTING IN THEIR IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

AND IT ALSO MEANS THAT THERE IS MORE PEOPLE THAT RETAILERS AND EMPLOYERS WANT TO BRING INTO IT AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO MARKET FOR FURTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND GROCERY STORES AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, THE ROOFTOPS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR. AND SO IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW SMALLER LOTS, THEN IT HAS TO BE PUT INTO THE RIGHT LOCATION. IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IS THIS AN AREA THAT WE DESIGNATED AS SOMETHING FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL? IS THIS AN APPROPRIATELY DESIGNED YOU PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, PLATS AND DESIGNS TO YOUR TO YOUR STAFF TO LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR LAYOUT.

[00:25:03]

DOES IT HAVE ENOUGH CAPACITY FOR YOUR UTILITIES FOR THIS KIND OF DENSITY TO COME IN? ALL THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION ON A NEW ZONING DISTRICT COMING IN FOR A PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY.

SO JUST PROVIDING THE ABILITY FOR THE ZONING DISTRICT TO OCCUR IS JUST INCREASING YOUR MARKET SHARE OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING THAT ARE BUILT, BUT YOU STILL HAVE THE CONTROL OF EXACTLY WHERE THESE ARE GOING TO BE BUILT.

WE ALSO LOOKED AT YOUR SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED DISTRICT TOWNHOME ZONING DISTRICT.

THIS IS A DISTRICT THAT IS ALREADY WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY.

WE JUST MODIFIED SOME OF THE SETBACK DISTANCES AND AND LOT WIDTHS TO KIND OF FIT WITH THE MARKET AS IT, AS IT STANDS TODAY.

I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN TOWNHOMES THAT ARE COMING IN ON 22 FOOT AND 25 FOOT WIDTH.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN THAT. WE FELT THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE CITY OF HUTCHINS.

THIS ALSO DOES REQUIRE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH REAR REAR YARD SO THAT IF YOU HAVE A REAR LOADED DRIVEWAY THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO FIT YOUR TRUCK ON YOUR DRIVEWAY WITHOUT IT FLOWING OUT INTO THE ALLEY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF DISTANCE THERE.

SO WE KIND OF LOOK AT THOSE, THESE THINGS FROM A DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS NOT APARTMENTS, THIS IS TOWNHOMES THAT ARE FEE SIMPLE.

THAT MEANS THEY, YOU KNOW, YOU BUY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND AND THE GROUND IS YOURS. SO, BUT THEY ARE ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY.

RESIDENTIALS THAT JUST THEY HAVE COMMON WALL CONSTRUCTION.

AND THEN WE WENT THROUGH ALL OF YOUR ZONING DISTRICTS AND WE UPDATED ALL OF THE GRAPHICS IN THERE. SOME GRAPHICS WERE IN IN AN APPENDIX THAT WASN'T EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

SO WE PUT ALL OF THOSE GRAPHICS INTO PHYSICALLY INTO YOUR ORDINANCE.

SO YOU PULL UP THAT ZONING DISTRICT, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE GROUND AND HOW IT'S BUILT.

WE DID THAT FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF, OF THE ESPECIALLY THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOT REQUIREMENTS.

FOR OFF STREET PARKING, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONCRETE REQUIREMENTS ARE APPROPRIATE.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS IS MAKE SURE THERE'S REINFORCED CONCRETE OR PROVE CONCRETE PAVERS FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAYS AND APPROACHES MUST BE CONCRETE, CONCRETE CURVES OR WHEEL STOPS REQUIRED TO PREVENT VEHICLE OVERHANG AND HEAVY VEHICLE AND COMMERCIAL TRUCK LOTS MUST USE CONCRETE SURFACING TO PREVENT RUTTING AND DUST.

WE ALSO CLARIFIED DEFINITIONS FOR NONCONFORMITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NON-CONFORMING USES, WHAT A NON-CONFORMING LOT IS AND NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES.

AND THEN WE ALSO MADE SURE THAT THERE IS EXPANSION OF THE ABANDONMENT RULES AND RECONSTRUCTION AND LOCATION STANDARDS.

AND WE MADE SURE THAT THOSE THAT CLARITY.

FOR NON-CONFORMITIES IS EASIER FOR NOT ONLY FOR YOUR CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICERS TO ENFORCE, BUT ALSO FOR YOUR STAFF TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A SPECIFIC RULING IN THE WAY THAT A NONCONFORMITY ACTS.

AND THOSE ARE OUR BIGGEST CHANGES TO THAT ORDINANCE. WE HOPE THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WAY THAT YOUR ZONING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES EXIST TODAY, NOT ONLY IN PHYSICAL FORMAT BUT ALSO ONLINE, THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE MADE HELP STREAMLINE THAT PROCESS.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS A DRAFT DOCUMENT.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT ANY OF THE PARTS OF THAT ORDINANCE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, EVEN IN STUFF THAT WE JUST CARRIED OVER FROM THE CITY OF HUTCHINS PREVIOUSLY AND THEN REFORMATTED, IT LET US KNOW.

WE WILL MAKE MODIFICATIONS.

WE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO DO.

SO. DO WE ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE OR SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS. DO WE, BLAKE, HOLD ALL THAT IN? OKAY. SO SOMETIMES THEY CONFLICTED WITH EACH OTHER.

WE WE WE WE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR, YOUR, YOUR STANDARDS FOR YOUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE DID NOT CONFLICT WITH YOUR, WITH YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE. OKAY. SO THAT, THAT WAY WE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR WHEN YOU DEVELOPER COMES IN, HE UNDERSTANDS THIS IS HOW THE PROPERTY WORKS AND THESE ARE THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND MAKE SURE THE ROADWAYS ARE GOING TO WORK AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR UTILITIES, THOSE STANDARDS ARE STILL KEPT WITHIN A PUBLIC WORKS, YOU KNOW, ENGINEERING DESIGN MANUAL AND YOU WANT TO KEEP THOSE OUT THE VERY SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR, YOU KNOW, PIPE WIDTH AND THE TYPE AND ALL THAT DESIGN.

YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT OUT OF YOUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. BECAUSE THAT WAY WHEN YOUR ENGINEERING PEOPLE LOOK AT IT AND SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE COULD REALLY USE A DIFFERENT PIPE TYPE OR INNOVATION COMES IN, WE NEED TO HAVE A DIFFERENT STANDARD OR A DIFFERENT FLOW RATE.

[00:30:03]

YOU HIRE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THE RIGHT DESIGN IN. SO LET THEM BE THEIR PROFESSIONALS AND ADMINISTRATIVELY CHANGE THOSE.

THOSE UPDATES. I'M NOT AN ENGINEER AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF PIPE TYPE YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE. I KNOW YOU NEED IT, AND I KNOW THAT AN EIGHT INCH LINE IS NOT GOING TO BE ADEQUATE.

IF YOU GET SOME OF THESE INDUSTRIAL UTILITIES THAT COME IN INTO THIS COMMUNITY.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT YOU PAY FOR TO BE PROFESSIONALS ARE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT AND MAKE THOSE CHANGES WHEN NEEDED.

QUESTION FOR YOU. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE ALREADY APPLIED TO THIS OR NOT, BUT CAN WE CHANGE THE ZONING TO A PIECE OF PROPERTY? WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR MAKING SURE THAT'S ALSO FORWARDED TO DCAD AS FAR AS LIKE PEOPLE'S TAXES AND STUFF LIKE THAT? YOU CAN GO TO DCAD. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW OUR PROPERTY IS ZONED, RIGHT? AND THAT'S A PROBLEM WITH EVERY COMMUNITY, WITH EVERY COUNTY THAT I'VE EVER ACCOMPLISHED.

SO. DCAD REALLY NEEDS TO KEEP THEMSELVES OUT OF ZONING AND NOT REQUIRE THE INFORMATION ABOUT ZONING. WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IS LOOK AT WHAT IS THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PROPERTY AND THE PROPERTY BASE BELOW, BECAUSE THE, THE APPRAISAL SHOULD NOT BE ON WHAT THE LEGAL ZONING OF THE PROPERTY IS.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE TWO THINGS THAT, THAT MATTER THE MOST.

I HAVE NOT SEEN A CITY, ONE THAT GOES AND GOES BACK AND REPORTS BACK TO THE COUNTY. THE BEST INFORMATION THAT CAN BE DONE IS TO KEEP YOUR ZONING MAP UP TO DATE. AND WHEN YOU MAKE AN ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION, WHEN YOU MAKE A LEGISLATIVE, YOU ARE CREATING NEW LAW BY ORDINANCE FOR EVERY NEW ZONING CHANGE THAT YOU MAKE.

AND SO THAT ORDINANCE NEEDS TO BE REFLECTED INTO YOUR OFFICIAL ZONING MAP BY LAW, BY STATE LAW. AND SO YOUR OFFICIAL ZONING MAP NEEDS TO BE ACCESSIBLE.

AND SO YOU'RE REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE ONE FILED WITH YOUR CITY SECRETARY.

YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE ONE ONLINE, BUT HAVING SOMETHING THAT IS EASILY UPDATED SO THAT IT REFLECTS CURRENT ZONING STANDARDS, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT YOUR PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT.

THEY'RE GOING TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

THEY KEEP THEIR OWN OWN MAPS AND BE ABLE TO PULL THAT MAP DATA.

THE BIGGEST INFORMATION THAT IS MOSTLY REQUIRED FROM THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT IS MAKING SURE THAT YOUR RECORDED PLATS WITH ACCOUNTING ARE ACCURATE AND CORRECT.

THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING THAT THEY NEED. AND WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT WHEN YOU RECORD THAT WITH THE PLAT, THAT IMMEDIATELY GETS PUT INTO THE INTO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT SYSTEM SO THAT THEY CAN. AND THIS IS ALSO FOR YOU GUYS, THEY CAN THEN CREATE NEW PARCELS SO THAT THEY HAVE INDIVIDUAL TAX IDS SO THAT YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET YOUR TAXABLE VALUE OUT OF THOSE PARCELS? YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU.

IT'S NOT COMPLICATED. WELL, AND THE THING IS, IS THAT I'VE SEEN THAT HAPPEN IN OTHER LOCATIONS.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I'VE EVER COME ACROSS WITH THAT IS IF YOU EVER TRIED TO GET A REFINANCE ON YOUR HOME AND THEY SEE IT AS A, THE MORTGAGE COMPANY SEES THAT AS A REZONING AND THE ZONING DOESN'T, DOESN'T AFFECT.

AND THEY TEND TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

SO WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

YEAH. IF YOU GO TO DO THEY KNOW IT'S THE WRONG RESIDENTIAL.

SO NO, IT'S NOT GREAT.

BUT CAN I GET THEM TO THIS IS GOING TO GET THAT.

INFORMATION. IF IT'S NOT.

WELL, AGAIN, THE, THE THE MAP IS AN OFFICIAL MAP AND THERE IS A LEGAL GIS COVERAGE THAT SHOWS THAT.

AND SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE, THE, THE BEST WAY THAT I WOULD KNOW TO COMMUNICATE THAT WITH, WITH THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

AND AGAIN, I'VE. I'M SORRY.

OH, I KNOW I'VE TRIED TO I'VE TRIED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO GET MY VALUATION BROUGHT DOWN AND I EVEN BROUGHT MY OWN COMPS AND I, I, I, I LIVE IN TARRANT COUNTY AND IT'S, IT'S THE SAME THING.

BUT WE HAVE, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO WITH A ZONING ORDINANCE TO TO HELP CONTROL THE PROPERTY HERE. AND THE, THE, THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE BEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE.

[00:35:02]

AND YOU HAVE PROFESSIONAL CITY SECRETARY TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOUR DECISIONS ARE MADE, THAT THOSE GET RECORDED APPROPRIATELY AND YOU WORK WITH YOUR STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT INFORMATION IS DISSEMINATED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

I STILL GOT TEN MINUTES LEFT.

MR. QUINN, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. I ASKED ABOUT SOME STUFF IN HERE ABOUT.

BUILDING FENCES AND TURNING HOUSES.

25, 35. I JUST CAN'T SEE HOW YOU CAN DO IT.

HE ANSWERED THE QUESTION.

IT'S NOT THAT WAY. BUT THAT WAS THE OLD ONE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, THE THING IS, IS THAT THERE ARE THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OF BUILDING FENCES AND FRONT YARDS AND ALL SORTS OF AREAS OF THE STATE. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THAT IS VISIBILITY IS THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS STILL AVAILABLE VISIBILITY FOR YOUR EMERGENCY SERVICES.

A LOT OF CITIES DEAL WITH THAT BY ALLOWING A FOUR FOOT FENCE ON THE, ON THE PERSON'S PROPERTY, BUT EVEN THAT FOUR FOOT FENCE NEEDS TO HAVE SOME ABILITY TO HAVE PERMEABILITY.

AND SO WE HAVE MADE MODIFICATIONS TO OTHER ORDINANCES IN OTHER CITIES ON FENCING AND SCREENING THAT WOULD ALLOW, FENCING IN THE FRONT YARD.

IF I NEED TO GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT SECTION OF THE ORDINANCE TO, TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS.

COUNCILMAN WE CAN CERTAINLY DO SO.

BUT. THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A DIFFICULT ISSUE FOR ESPECIALLY FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO LOOK AT AND MAKE SURE IT'S IN THERE.

AND. I LIKE TO ADD, IF COUNCIL HAS ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, GIVE THEM TO ME.

I'LL GIVE THEM TO BLAKE AND HE'LL GIVE THEM TO STEVEN. ABSOLUTELY. IF YOU GET AWAY FROM HERE AND. AND, MAN, I WISH I'D ASKED HIM THAT QUESTION.

PLEASE DO FOLLOW MR. QUINN'S DIRECTION ON THAT BECAUSE THAT WE WE REALLY PRIDE OURSELVES ON OUR ABILITY TO, TO PIVOT QUICKLY.

GIVEN THE INFORMATION THAT THAT BLAKE PROVIDES US AND WE'VE GOT A GREAT RELATIONSHIP. WE HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH TIM AS WELL.

AND WE'D LOVE TO CONTINUE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY OF HUTCHINS.

THIS IS THIS IS A PASSION PROJECT FOR US AND WE REALLY ENJOY HELPING COMMUNITIES IMPROVE THEMSELVES. DONE A GOOD JOB.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. HAVE A GREAT EVENING. AND I HOPE THE REST OF YOUR MEETING GOES WELL. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU.

BLAKE, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? WE HAVE A MEETING WITH YOU.

WE'LL HAVE A MEETING WITH YOU TO DISCUSS THE FINALITY OF IT.

SEND IT TO JOE. HAVE HIM APPROVE IT, AND THEN WE'LL TAKE IT BEFORE PNC AND COUNCIL AGAIN FOR FINAL APPROVAL.

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THAT IN 30 DAYS.

45? YEAH.

WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO RECESS UNTIL 6:30 P.M..

ALRIGHT. OKAY. AT THIS TIME, OUR ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS CITIZEN COMMENTS.

[E. CITIZEN COMMENTS]

HOWEVER, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, THE CITY COUNCIL CANNOT DISCUSS ISSUES RAISED OR MAKE ANY DECISIONS AT THIS TIME.

WE DO HAVE ONE REGISTERED SPEAKER, MISS SUE WOLFF.

HI, MISS. MISS WOLFF, IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS WHEN YOU GET TO THE PODIUM. OKAY.

AND I'LL START THE TIMER. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

OKAY. MY NAME IS SUE SIMMONS WOLFF.

I LIVE AT 104 SOUTH PACIFIC GARIN HUTCHINS.

I'VE LIVED HERE MOST OF MY LIFE.

MY DAD'S NAME WAS DON L SIMMONS.

HE WAS BORN IN 1913, AND HE LIVED HERE MOST OF HIS LIFE, AND HE WAS MAYOR IN THE 70S.

NOW, MY REQUEST TO YOU IS IN THE OLD CITY HALL.

THERE WAS A BANK MAYOR WITH PICTURES OF FORMER MAYORS.

I AM ASKING THAT YOU PUT THAT UP SOMEWHERE IN THIS NEW CITY HALL.

I TALKED WITH MAYOR VAZQUEZ ABOUT IT, AND HE SAID EVEN THOUGH HE WOULD BE OUT OF TOWN, HE WOULD BE FOR IT.

BUT MY POINT IS, FOR ALL OF YOU GOOD WORKS AND YOU ALL HAVE DONE A FABULOUS JOB WITH THIS CITY. HOWEVER, THE PAST IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE OF THIS CITY.

SO I WOULD LIKE FOR Y'ALL TO REALLY RECONSIDER PUTTING THOSE PICTURES BACK UP.

WHETHER IT IS NEW FRAMES YOU WANT TO PUT THEM IN, WHETHER IT'S IN THIS PARTICULAR PLACE OR DOWN THE HALL.

I THINK WITH MR. GROSS COMING UP HERE, ALL OF THESE OLD MAYORS NEED TO BE HONORED AS WELL. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY. SO IF WE DON'T, WE HAVE NO OTHER CITIZENS REGISTERED TO SPEAK. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM F OUR PRESENTATIONS.

[F. PRESENTATIONS]

THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY OUR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, MARIA JOYNER. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

OUR AUDITORS THIS YEAR HAVE NOT COMPLETED THEIR REVIEW PROCESS.

KEEP IN MIND, WE PRESENTED THE AUDIT TO YOU IN NOVEMBER, AND THEY DID BRING IN EXTRA STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GOT EVERYTHING COMPLETED THIS YEAR. BUT WE HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE REVIEW PROCESS, SO THEY'RE FINISHING THAT UP NOW.

DUE TO THE CHANGE IN STATE LAW, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO ISSUE A REPORT TO ALL OF THEIR CITIES, ALL OF THEIR ENTITIES BY MARCH 31ST.

SO BECAUSE THEY STARTED A LITTLE LATER WITH US, THEY'RE RUNNING A LITTLE BEHIND, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO LET US KNOW TOMORROW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET US ON THE SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK.

BUT KEEP IN MIND, WE DID GET IT PRESENTED IN NOVEMBER, AND THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COMPLY WITH THE STATE STATUTE, THE NEW STATE STATUTE WHERE ALL THE CITIES HAVE TO HAVE IT PRESENTED BY MARCH 31ST. I THOUGHT IT WAS MARCH 27TH, I'M SORRY, MARCH 27TH, DUE TO NEW INFORMATION WE JUST RECEIVED FROM TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.

THEY COUNTED FROM SEPTEMBER 30TH, 180 DAYS AS THE STATE STATUTE STATES.

SO THEY MOVED IT BACK FROM THE 31ST TO THE 27TH.

AND WE GOT THAT EMAIL LIKE THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK.

OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD WORK.

THANKS. SO ONCE WE KNOW THE NEW DATE, WE'LL HAVE TO SCHEDULE A SPECIAL MEETING.

[00:45:07]

WE HAVE THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW EMPLOYEES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO.

REARRANGE THE AGENDA AND MOVE ON TO ITEM FOUR.

DISCUSS THE LANGDON PROJECT WITH BILL PLETSCH.

THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY OUR CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL. BLAKEMORE, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

BILL PLETSCH HAD PULLED SOME PERMITS ABOUT 11 MONTHS AGO FOR THE PROJECT OFF TO LANGDON LANGDON ROAD. AND HE IS HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT Y'ALL SOME NEW INFORMATION.

IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM, THE PROGRESS AND THE STATUS OF THAT PROJECT, WHICH IS, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO BE TEN BUILDINGS, THEY HAD TO PULL OUT A LOT OF DIRT. AND THROUGH THAT PROCESS, THEY THE COMMISSIONER WILL NOT LET THEM DRIVE BIG TRUCKS DOWN THERE TO PUT THE DIRT BACK.

AND THEY HAD TO RELY ON LITTLE TRUCKS.

AND SO WE HAVE ASKED HIM TO COME BACK BEFORE Y'ALL AND KIND OF GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE LANGDON ROAD PROJECT. BILL.

EVENING COUNCIL. SO BASICALLY THE, JUST LIKE MR. MOORE WAS JUST SAYING, WE HAVE STILL TAKEN OUT THE DIRT AND STILL PUTTING IT BACK. IT IS LIKE A TAKING A SPOON AND PUTTING IT FROM A BUCKET OF WATER INTO A LAKE. WE HAVE TEN YARD TRUCKS AND ORIGINALLY, AT THE VERY BEGINNING WHEN WE PULLED THE PERMIT, NOBODY THOUGHT THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE ISSUES GETTING DOWN THAT ROAD WITH THE 50,000 POUND LIMIT. OF COURSE, IT TAKES THE N DUMPS, WHICH ARE THE 20 YARD TRUCKS THAT WE NEED, AND THOSE WERE GOING IN THERE JUST FINE GOING IN. BUT NOW, OF COURSE, THE COMMISSIONER STOPPED US WITH THE THE SIZE OF THE TRUCKS GOING IN THERE. SO NOW WE'RE DOWN TO THE TEN YARD TRUCKS WE HAVE NEGOTIATED WITH COMMISSIONER WITH THE COUNTY BRIDGE AND ROAD.

ROGER. I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH HIM AS FAR AS TRYING TO GET IN THERE AND SAY, CAN WE WORK OUT A DEAL? AND WE DID COME UP WITH A DEAL, BUT IT'S STILL STUCK IN PAPERWORK.

COMMISSIONERS SAID YES TO THE AMOUNT THAT WE CAN DO OF ACTUALLY PAYING FOR THE ROAD TO BE OVERLAID FROM THE COUNTY PART TO THE DUMP SITE.

THAT'S AT OUR EXPENSE.

BUT WE WOULD PUT THAT MONEY IN ESCROW WITH THE COUNTY WHERE THEY WOULD HOLD THAT MONEY UNTIL WE GET READY TO.

WE TOLD THEM, WAIT A YEAR BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO TEAR UP THE ROAD.

AND SO LET US DO WHAT WE GOT TO DO AND THEN GO BACK IN THERE AND OVERLAY IT AT THAT TIME.

THAT WAY, THEY HAD THE MONEY IN ESCROW. THAT PAPERWORK HAS BEEN ALREADY DRAFTED.

THE COUNTY ALREADY HAS IT, BUT IT'S STUCK IN SOME D, A OR SOME DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW.

AND ROGER DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN SIGNED OFF ON.

SO HE'S INVESTIGATING THAT.

SO LAST WEEK I MET WITH PRIOR TO THE ELECTION TOOK PLACE.

I MET WITH ROGER AGAIN FOR A COUPLE HOURS AT HIS OFFICE OVER HERE.

ROGER'S AT DISTRICT NUMBER THREE, BRIDGE AND ROAD AND SUGGESTED HIM.

COULD WE WORK OUT SOMETHING WITH THE COMMISSIONER IF THIS IS TIED UP IN THE PAPERWORK WITH THE COUNTY, CAN WE AT LEAST MAYBE GET A TEMPORARY PERMIT? AND WE'LL BE GLAD TO PAY FOR THE TEMPORARY PERMIT TO LET US BRING THE TRUCKS IN THERE.

THE LARGE ONES, JUST TEMPORARY FOR TWO MONTHS.

AND WE WOULD PAY THEM, SAY, $10,000 A MONTH.

JUST TOWARDS, YOU KNOW, ROAD REPAIRS OR WHATEVER THEY WANT TO USE IT FOR. HE LIKED THE IDEA BECAUSE HE SAID HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT HASN'T BEEN SIGNED OFF YET WITH THE COUNTY.

BUT HE SAID, I LIKE THAT IDEA A LOT.

SO HIM AND VINCENT HALL WERE TRYING TO GET AN ANSWER FOR ME BY TODAY.

HE CALLED ME AT 4:00 AND HE DID SAY HE'S GOING TO BE WITH THE COMMISSIONER TOMORROW, AND THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT PRESENTATION TO HIM AND SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT TEMPORARY PERMIT. THAT WOULD GIVE US TWO MONTHS TO BASICALLY FILL IN THE HOLE, DO OUR COMPACTION, WHICH OUR ENGINEER THAT WE HIRED IS THE SAME ENGINEER, RANDY FROM HELMBERGER HERE.

HE CAME AS WELL TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT BE PRESENTED THAT THE SAME INTENTIONS ARE. FILL IT BACK UP ON 8 INCH TO 1IN, ONE FOOT INCREMENTS AND COMPACT IT.

RUN THE DENSITY TEST. SO WE MAKE SURE THAT THE THE SOIL IS COMPACTED PROPERLY AND THEN GO IN THERE AND BUILD IT UP THE SITE.

AT THAT POINT WE'RE ABLE TO DO THE WAREHOUSES AND WE ALREADY HAVE OUR DRAWINGS FOR THE WAREHOUSES. WE'VE ALREADY HAVE, I THINK TEN WAREHOUSES GOING BACK THERE IN THAT AREA. WE'VE DESIGNED THEM ALREADY.

THEY ARE ICF CONSTRUCTION.

THERE'LL BE ABOUT AN ACRE AND A HALF EACH IS THE WAY WE KIND OF LAID THEM OUT SO WE CAN

[00:50:04]

AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE A, A SIDE AREA THAT WHERE THEY CAN ACTUALLY PARK THAT'S FENCED IN FOR THEIR UTILITY TRUCKS OR WHATEVER THEY'RE USING.

THAT IS A GATED AREA AS WELL.

WITH THE FIRE LANES PER THE CITY CODES.

SO WE'VE ALREADY GOT THIS DESIGNED READY TO GO.

IT'S JUST WE'RE TRYING TO GET IN THERE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO FILL THIS BACK IN.

AND I FIGURED THAT WOULD BE THE EASIEST WAY TO DO WITH THE COUNTY TO SAY, HERE'S SOME MONEY, YOU KNOW, GIVE US A TEMPORARY PERMIT, LET THAT GO SO WE CAN GET THE TRUCKS IN THERE AND FILL THIS UP. I'VE KEPT BLAKE INFORMED OF EVERYTHING GOING ON AS I GET INFORMATION.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THIS, WE HAVE BIGGER PLANS.

AND MR. LUTTRELL AND MR. FOOSE ENOUGH HAVE BEEN WORKING SIDE BY SIDE.

HE'S BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH US BECAUSE WE OUR INTENTIONS OF PURCHASING THE 18 ACRES HERE ACROSS FROM THE COUNTY PROPERTY.

ALSO, THERE'S OTHER ADDITIONAL 38 THAT'S NEXT DOOR TO IT.

AND THERE'S A BIGGER PLAN HERE THAT I PRESENTED TO YOU ALL BEFORE, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, BUT IT'S TAKEN TIME TO DO THESE NEGOTIATIONS.

AND IT IS A MAJOR CONCRETE COMPANY THAT WOULD PUT A BATCH PLAN IN THAT I SUGGESTED BEFORE.

AND THAT BATCH PLAN IS AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY.

THEY ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD.

THEY ARE BASED IN SWITZERLAND.

THEY HAVE MULTIPLE LOCATIONS IN DUBAI, SOUTH AMERICA, ARGENTINA, ALL THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.

THEIR HEADQUARTERS IS HERE IN DALLAS FOR THE US OPERATIONS.

THIS WOULD BE A SUBSTANTIAL TAX REVENUE BASE FOR THE CITY.

AND UNFORTUNATELY BEING AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY, WE'RE DEALING WITH A LOT OF MOVING PARTS AND TRYING TO NEGOTIATE THIS DEAL IN THIS NEGOTIATION. AND IT'S BEEN SINCE AUGUST THAT I STARTED THIS NEGOTIATION WITH THEM.

WE NOW HAVE FINALLY, THEY'VE GONE FROM A INTERNATIONAL COMPANY THAT IS A PRIVATELY HELD COMPANY TO A PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY.

SO THEY'RE GOING THROUGH SOME MANEUVERS OF WHERE THEY'RE HAVING TO CHANGE THEIR CHARTERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THEY'RE DOING BUSINESS WISE, BUT THEY ARE AND THEY MOVED THEIR OFFICES OVER THE HOLIDAYS UP INTO ADDISON FROM OFF THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY, FROM ADDISON TO PLANO.

AND THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW GIVEN US THE GO AHEAD TO PROVIDE THE LETTER OF INTENT AT THAT POINT. THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

SO THAT LETTER OF INTENT HAS THE OUTLINES OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE FOR THEM.

ONE OF THE OUTLINES ON THIS PROPOSAL TO THEM, AND THEY'VE ACCEPTED THIS, IS FOR US TO DO AN EIGHT ACRE BATCH PLANT.

THERE'S 18 ACRES THERE.

WHEN I ORIGINALLY PRESENTED THIS TO THE CITY COUNCIL BACK THEN, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FIVE ACRE TRACKS WHERE WE COULD DO FIVE ACRE, FIVE ACRE AND SO ON DOWN THAT 18 ACRE TRACK ACROSS FROM THE COUNTY.

I'M GLAD WE DIDN'T GO FORWARD WITH THE S U P AS WHEN I PRESENTED IT, BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD WITH PLATTING AND TOPOGRAPHY AND LAYOUT TO PRESENT IT, BECAUSE THEY WANT EIGHT ACRES, NOT FIVE ACRES. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO GO REDO ALL THIS AGAIN.

SO THEY'VE GIVEN US THE GO AHEAD FOR EIGHT ACRES.

THEY WOULD ALSO THEY WOULD ALSO WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THEM A BASE FOR THEIR CONCRETE BATCH PLAN, WHICH IS A GRAVEL BASE THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE ON THEIR PROPERTY.

THEY WOULD TAKE IT FROM THERE. BUT OUR SELLING POINT TO THEM WAS THAT WE WOULD ALSO REPAVE THE ROAD. AND I CAME TO SEE BLAKE.

AS SOON AS I GOT THAT INFORMATION.

I NEEDED THE CITY GUIDELINES ON REPAVING THIS ROAD FROM 310 TO THE COUNTY LINE OF THE 18 ACRES THAT TAKES IT OFF THE COUNTY, IT TAKES IT OFF THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY.

WE TAKE THAT THAT COST FACTOR HERE.

SO NOW WE'RE GOING BACK TO DOING 8IN OR 10IN OF CONCRETE, TEN INCHES OF CONCRETE, AND BUILDING A ROAD FROM 310 TO THE COUNTY.

THAT IS PART OF OUR DEAL WITH THE CITY OR TO THE CONCRETE COMPANY.

AND THEY'VE ACCEPTED THAT THAT OFFER.

SO EXCUSE ME, DO YOU OWN THIS LAND? NO. MR. LUTTRELL OWNS IT, AND WE'RE WE'RE WORKING OUT THE WAY THE AGREEMENT'S GOING TO RUN WITH MR. LUTTRELL AND MR. FUZE, WHICH IS THE REALTOR.

WE'VE BEEN IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION. I GIVE THEM THE SAME UPDATES. I GIVE BLAKE, AND I CONTACT HIM A LITTLE BIT MORE.

SO BECAUSE WE HAVE TO NEGOTIATE HOW WE'RE LAYING THIS OUT, BUT ALSO HOW THE STRUCTURE OF THE CONTRACT HAS TO WORK.

BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE'RE BUYING THE 18 ACRES,

[00:55:02]

AND THEN WE KEEP THE OTHER TEN ACRES FOR US TO ACTUALLY PUT A SAND PLANT THERE AT THE END OF THE CONCRETE PLANT THAT CAN ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE MATERIAL AS NEEDED.

BUT OUR DEAL IN THAT STRUCTURE OF THE LETTER OF INTENT THAT WE'VE ACCEPTED AND THEY'VE ALSO ACCEPTED RIGHT NOW IT'S WITH THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT.

AND YOU CAN IMAGINE GOING BACK ACROSS THE POND AND COMING BACK AND FORTH, AND EVERYBODY'S AGREED TO IT.

BUT FOR US TO HAVE THAT STRUCTURE IN PLACE, WE HAVE A COMMITMENT FROM THEM TO COME HERE TO HUTCHINS. AND AS LONG AS I PROVIDE THE THE BASE FOR THEM AND ALSO THE 310 TO THE FRONT OF THE ROAD WITH CONCRETE.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PROGRESS YOU'VE MADE REGARDING THE LIFTS? BECAUSE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, YOU'RE HAVING AN ENGINEER TEST THE LIFT.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MORE FEET YOU'VE ADDED ON THE LIFTS? ON THE. ON THE WHOLE. WE BROUGHT THAT IN TO YUSUF BACK IN I THINK IT WAS DECEMBER AND THAT WAS THE LAST TIME WE DID THE TESTING.

WE HAVE TO GET UP TO A CERTAIN LEVEL.

SO ONCE WHAT HE SUGGESTED AND I THINK RANDY FROM HAMBURGER ALSO SUGGESTED OR STEVE FROM WE NEED TO PUT A ROCK BASS DOWN FIRST.

SO THEY SUGGESTED WE DO A ROCK BASS FIRST AND THEN COMPACT THAT AND THEN GO ON UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL. WE'VE DONE ONE LEVEL ALREADY.

SO HOW MANY FEET ACTUALLY ACTUALLY LIFTED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS? WE HAVE TO GO UP BASICALLY 20FT AND WE CAN DO THAT FAIRLY QUICKLY AS LONG AS WE GET THE BIGGER TRUCKS IN THERE. THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO CUT A DEAL WITH. WELL, I NEED, I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH HAVE YOU ACTUALLY LIFTED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS? TWO FEET, THREE FEET, ZERO FEET, ABOUT TWO FEET.

OKAY. THERE IS FROM THE FRONT ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK AND THERE'S SEPARATE HOLES.

SO WHILE WE'RE DOING THIS SIDE OVER HERE, COMPACTING IT, WE CAN ACTUALLY BE DUMPING THINGS OVER ON THIS SIDE, RUNNING OUR DENSITY TESTS OVER HERE WHILE THIS OTHER SIDE IS DOING AND JUST KIND OF DAISY CHAIN IT BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH.

SO WE'RE ABLE TO GO UP ON THIS SIDE, TEST IT WHILE WE'RE FILLING THIS SIDE, TEST IT, AND SAME THING OVER HERE.

AND THERE WAS A REASON WE DID IT THAT WAY.

SO WE, WE WEREN'T JUST HAVING TO FILL IN THE WHOLE THING ALL THE WAY ACROSS.

WE HAVE I THINK IT'S TWO FEET, ABOUT TWO FEET.

SOMETHING MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE.

SO WE HAVE 18 TO GO. WE HAVE ABOUT 17FT TO GO.

YEAH, I WOULD SAY ABOUT 17FT TO GO.

AND THAT CAN GO VERY QUICKLY.

WE DID A SIMILAR PROJECT DOWN THIS OVER ON POST OAK.

AND WE HAVE ANOTHER LOCATION THERE THAT IS STRICTLY A A SITE THAT'S MATERIALS TAKEN OUT AND DUMPING IN THERE. WE'RE ABLE TO BRING IN THE 20 YARDS AND IT FILLED UP AN AREA AS BIG AS THIS WHOLE BUILDING.

THAT WAS SIX FEET I THINK ABOUT EIGHT FEET DEEP AND IT FILLED IT UP WITHIN A MONTH AND THAT'S HOW QUICK IT COULD HAPPEN.

SO THAT'S WHY I WENT TO ROGER AND SAID, CAN WE WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THE COMMISSIONER? AT LEAST LET US GO IN THERE WITH A TEMPORARY PERMIT.

AND AFTER THE TWO MONTHS WE'RE DONE AT THAT END, I CAN FILL THAT UP REALLY QUICK, PACK IT AND RUN THE TESTS ON IT.

WE HAVE THE OTHER LAB THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THE ENGINEER HELMBERGER, WE HAVE TEAM CONSULTANTS, WHICH IS OUR THAT DOES THE TESTING.

THEY COME OUT AND DO THAT TESTING.

TELL US, YES, THIS IS PASSING OR THIS IS WHERE THE COMPACTION NEEDS TO BE BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING ELSE. OKAY.

ANY QUESTIONS? WE VOTED WHAT IT IS.

SO WE'RE WAITING AND WE'VE BEEN WAITING.

AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU CONTACTED THE COUNTY AND ROGER YESTERDAY, BUT THIS SURE HAS BEEN DELAYED A LONG TIME.

I'VE I'VE BEEN WITH ROGER ABOUT EVERY WEEK AND JUST TRYING TO SEE IF THE COMMISSIONER OR IF THAT PAPERWORK HAS BEEN DONE, OR AT LEAST SATISFIED TO AT LEAST GET US IN THERE. THAT'S WHY I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA, AND IT WAS BEFORE THE ELECTION TOOK PLACE.

AND HE SAYS, NOW'S NOT A GOOD TIME TO TALK TO THE COMMISSIONER BECAUSE HE'S REALLY INVOLVED IN THE ELECTION, WHICH I GET IT.

AND HE SAID, LET'S WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION BEFORE WE DO THIS.

AND THEN I WENT BACK TO HIM RIGHT AFTER THE ELECTION ON THAT FRIDAY.

AND I ASKED HIM, I SAID, HERE'S MY IDEA.

CAN WE GET THAT TEMPORARY PERMIT? WE'RE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT? LET ME GET IN THERE AND GET OUT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE SAID WE WANTED TO DO. AND WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE WAREHOUSES.

IT'S JUST TAKING MORE TIME THAN, THAN IT'S BEEN ANTICIPATED.

OKAY. THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CONCRETE COMPANY HAVE BEEN A LONG PROCESS, AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 11 ACRES AT THE END.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON BECAUSE THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL 38 ACRES THERE THAT WE WANT TO DO THIS AS A DOMINO EFFECT

[01:00:01]

SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE PLANNING ON PRESENTING AS WELL.

BECAUSE ONCE WE FINISH THE 11, WE'RE AT THAT POINT WHERE WE CAN GO ON TO THE NEXT FIVE AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO HERE AND SHOW BY EXAMPLE.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO LEAVE A HOLE BACK THERE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

WE WANT TO SHOW BY EXAMPLE, THIS IS WHAT WE'VE DONE.

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BUILT.

YOU CAN SEE IT, TOUCH IT, FEEL IT.

AND YOU HAVE OTHER SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE LOOKING FOR WAREHOUSE SPACE THAT AREN'T LOOKING FOR THE FEDEX, YOU KNOW, SIZE OF WAREHOUSES.

WELL, WE JUST WANT THAT WHOLE FIRST IF IT'S POSSIBLE.

I DO TOO, I DO TOO. I THINK WE WOULD HAVE HAD THIS DONE SIX MONTHS AGO IF, IF WE WOULD HAVE HAD THAT ROAD OPEN.

AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE AN EASY PROCESS WITH THE COMMISSIONER, BUT IT HAS BEEN DELAYED. SO THAT'S WHY I CAME UP WITH THIS OTHER ALTERNATIVE.

YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T REQUIRE IT DOESN'T REQUIRE GOING FOR THE DA OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, OR WHOEVER THIS PERSON THAT HAS TO SIGN OFF ON THIS WITH THE COUNTY.

IT'S STRICTLY THE COMMISSIONER CAN MAKE HIS OWN DECISION ON THAT AND ISSUE, HAVE THEM ISSUE A TEMPORARY PERMIT JUST FOR CONSTRUCTION PURPOSES.

SO THAT'S WHY I OFFERED THAT.

I ASKED, BUT I FIGURED A LITTLE MONEY INCENTIVE WOULD, YOU KNOW, MAYBE MAKE IT MOVE ALONG A LITTLE FASTER.

THAT WAY IT WOULD GO TOWARDS ANY ROAD REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY. SO AT THIS TIME, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM THREE.

CHIEF PERRY WILL INTRODUCE NEW EMPLOYEES.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

SO AT THIS TIME, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT PRESENTATION OF CHIEF HIXON WILL PRESENT A COUPLE OF SLIDES ON THE SAVVY CITIZEN PRESENTATION.

YEAH, I CAN GIVE ME JUST A SECOND.

LET ME FIND IT. HERE WE GO.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON SAVVY CITIZENS.

SINCE WE'RE NOW STREAMING, WE MAY REACH A LOT MORE PEOPLE THAN WE WOULD AT A REGULAR MEETING. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM COUNCIL MR. QUINN. WE PRESENTED THIS LITTLE OVER WAS LAST YEAR.

AND WE WANTED TO PRESENT IT AGAIN, LIKE MR. QUINN SAID, TO TRY TO REACH MORE PEOPLE.

CURRENTLY, WE HAVE 183 THAT SIGNED UP FOR IT.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT SAVVY CITIZEN THAN CODE RED IS CODE RED WAS STRICTLY FOR THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, SO YOU HAD TO LIVE IN THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO SIGN UP FOR IT.

WITH SAVVY CITIZEN, YOU CAN LIVE ANYWHERE.

TWO CITIES AROUND THE CITY OF HUTCHINS, OUT DALLAS COUNTY AND ELLIS COUNTY AS WELL.

SO WE CAN REACH A WHOLE LOT MORE PEOPLE WITH THIS PROGRAM.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE PROGRAM ALSO IS THERE'S A LOT OF AREAS IN TOWN THAT HAVE WATER LEAKS WHERE WE LOSE WATER. WE CAN ACTUALLY SHADE THAT AREA AND SEND OUT NOTIFICATION JUST TO THAT AREA. SO THE WHOLE CITY IS NOT GETTING IT.

WE HAVE HIGHWAY SHUT DOWN.

SAME THING. WE CAN HIGHLIGHT THE PART OF THE HIGHWAY THAT'S SHUT DOWN.

SEND THAT OUT AND THEN YOU KNOW THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT AS WELL.

OH. OKAY. WE NOW USE, LIKE I SAID, SAVVY SYSTEM.

WE USED TO USE CODE RED.

TO ME, THIS IS A WHOLE LOT MORE USER FRIENDLY WITH CODE RED.

I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS SENT OUT ALERTS WITH SAVVY CITIZEN.

ANYBODY THAT'S IN THE DEPARTMENT THAT'S THAT'S ADMINISTRATOR CAN SEND OUT ALERTS FOR SAVVY CITIZEN. SO EVERYBODY'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ALERTS, WHICH HAS BEEN FANTASTIC.

AND THERE'S THREE WAYS YOU CAN GET NOTIFIED. YOU CAN GET NOTIFIED BY DOWNLOADING THE APP.

YOU CAN GET NOTIFIED BY HAVING TEXT MESSAGING OR YOU CAN GET IT THROUGH THE WEBSITE.

CITY WEBSITE OR EMAIL.

I HAVE ALL THREE AND IT'S WORKED OUT GREAT.

SO AS SOON AS WE SEND OUT A NOTIFICATION, THEY ALL THREE POP UP REALLY QUICK. YOU WON'T GET A NOTIFICATION UNTIL AFTER 9 A.M.

IF YOU DO NOT SET IT FOR IMMEDIATE.

SO IF YOU CAN SEND OUT A NOTIFICATION AT 1:00 IN THE MORNING AND IT WILL GO OUT AT 9:00 IN THE MORNING AS WELL. SO THEN BETWEEN 9 A.M.

AND 9 P.M. IS WHEN YOU'LL GET THE NOTIFICATIONS, UNLESS IT'S SET FOR IMMEDIATE AND WE SET FOR IMMEDIATE FOR WEATHER, WEATHER WARNINGS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WE'LL SEND IT OUT. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE CARDS THAT ARE SITTING OUT ON THE TABLE OUT IN THE HALLWAY. LITTLE FIVE BY SEVEN CARDS HAS A QR CODE ON IT.

YOU CAN SCAN THE QR CODE.

IT'LL TAKE YOU IMMEDIATELY TO THE SIGNUP AREA, AND YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR IT.

ONCE YOU GET TO THAT AREA, THERE'S CHECK BOXES, SO YOU CAN CHECK ANY KIND OF NOTIFICATION THAT YOU WANT TO RECEIVE.

YOU CAN UNCHECK THE ONES THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO RECEIVE BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE ALREADY ON THERE, LIKE THE WEATHER ALERT, STUFF LIKE THAT ARE ALREADY ON THERE.

SITI, SENDING OUT EVENT NOTIFICATIONS, THEY'RE ALREADY CHECKED.

YOU CAN UNCHECK THOSE IF YOU DON'T WANT THOSE.

KEEP THEM CHECKED. WE RECOMMEND YOU KEEP THEM CHECKED. THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE GONE BACK

[01:10:02]

BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE THE TRAFFIC NOTIFICATIONS CHECKED, YOU'RE GOING TO GET EVERY SINGLE NOTIFICATION.

IF ANYBODY REPORTING A CAR PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ANYTHING. IT'S GOING TO NOTIFY YOU.

SO I HAD TO GO BACK AND UNCHECK ALL THAT BECAUSE IT WAS CONSTANT.

NOW THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IF WE SEND OUT A TRAFFIC NOTIFICATION, YOU'RE GOING TO STILL GET THAT.

YOU JUST WON'T GET THE ONES THAT ARE AUTOMATIC. THE NOTIFICATION FEATURES.

LIKE I SAID, WE CAN SET IT TO CERTAIN PARTS OF TOWN.

WE CAN SET IT TO ADDRESSES, WE CAN SET IT TO PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING.

WE WANT TO SET IT FOR US.

IT'LL HAVE THE DETAILS OF WHAT THE NOTIFICATION IS.

SO IF WE SEND OUT SOMETHING FOR FALL FESTIVAL, WE'RE GOING TO DETAIL IT.

IT'LL SEND OUT. EVERYBODY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE EVERYTHING ABOUT FALL FESTIVAL. SAME THING WITH NATIONAL NIGHT OUT. SAME THING WITH CHRISTMAS PARADES, ALL THAT STUFF WE CAN SEND OUT. THE CITIZENS WILL GET THOSE NOTIFICATIONS.

AGAIN. THERE'S QUICK SETTINGS. YOU CAN GO IN THERE AND UNCHECK WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO GET.

CHECK WHAT YOU DO WANT TO GET AND YOU CAN YOU CAN SPECIFY IT HOWEVER YOU WANT TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS. THAT'S WHEN YOU LOG ON TO IT.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE EVENTS NOTIFICATIONS, AND YOU CAN SEARCH FOR NOTIFICATIONS.

IF YOU SAW ONE COME THROUGH AND YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND READ IT AGAIN, YOU CAN SEARCH IT, YOU CAN CLICK EVENTS, IT'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH ALL THE EVENTS THAT'S BEEN SET OUT. AND SAME THING WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OF NOTIFICATION THAT WE SEND OUT EVENT CALENDAR, THERE'S THREE WAYS THAT YOU CAN SET YOUR VIEW.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

JOHN GONZALEZ OF RTG CAPITAL IS LOOKING TO PURCHASE THE LCC PROPERTY OFF OF 45 THERE.

[01:15:07]

ANY QUESTIONS THERE? MY QUESTION.

WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF MY QUESTIONS. ARE THEY GOING TO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TRY AND PAVE THAT WHOLE AREA WHERE THE STORAGE WAS BEFORE, OR THEIR PLAN IS TO GO BEFORE THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND TO ASK FOR A VARIANCE TO PUT IN LANES AND NOT PAVE THE WHOLE SITE.

OKAY. WELL, WE CLEAN THAT UP IN THE NEW ZONING ORDINANCE, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

WE ALSO HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS.

THEY HAVE A THIRD PARTY LOGISTICS SUBSIDIARY CALLED DRAINAGE COMPANY THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE HOUSED HERE, AND THEY WILL HAVE THE NEED TO STORE LARGE SPOOLS OF CABLING AND WIRING, AMONGST OTHER MATERIALS FOR DATA CENTERS.

AND SO THIS IS A POSSIBLE FUTURE TENANT THAT HAS CONVEYED INTERESTS HERE.

AND THIS S U P WAS APPROVED BY PNC FEBRUARY THE 16TH.

AND THIS AND THE REQUIRED OR THE S U P USES OUR ATTORNEY, AS JOE HAS SAID, TO PUT THEM ALL UNDER 1SUP AND THEY HAVE FIVE MOTOR FREIGHT COMPANY TERMINAL HEAVY MACHINERY SALES AND STORAGE, TRUCK SALES AND STORAGE, LOW RISK INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING, MANUFACTURING NOT WHOLLY ENCLOSED WITHIN A BUILDING AND LOW RISK INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING WHOLLY ENCLOSED WITHIN A BUILDING. SO ALL OF THOSE WOULD BE POSSIBLE? YES. THEY'LL BE. THEY'LL BE ALLOWED FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

IF NO MORE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL HAVE A.

ANY QUESTIONS? I WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 709.

AND CHRIS HOWARD WITH GEO NAV HAS DONE THE SURVEY OF THE LAND AND COMBINING IT WITH THE CITY HALL PROPERTY WOULD GIVE US 7.34 ACRES.

WE HAVE REVIEWED THE REPLAT.

ALL THE CORRECT CORRECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AND WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL ON THIS.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, MISS CAMPBELL OR MR. ELMORE? FOR MR. RODRIGUEZ, FOR I'M ALSO FOR.

SO THAT MOTION CARRIES.

OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM TEN.

DISCUSS AND CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF HUTCHINS AND E C. S SOUTHWEST LLP AND AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $161,065 FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, TESTING AND OBSERVATION SERVICES FOR THE CITY'S NEW RECREATION CENTER AND LIBRARY.

THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY OUR CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL, BLAKE MOORE X SOUTHWEST LLP HAS SUBMITTED A CONTRACT OF SERVICES FOR US TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THEIR USE FOR THE DURATION OF THE REC CENTER LIBRARY.

X IS FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE.

THEY PROVIDED THE GEO TECHNICAL SERVICES FOR THE SITE JUST WEST OF HERE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2025. THEIR SCOPE OF SERVICES INCLUDE THE TESTING AND OBSERVATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, WHICH INCLUDE THE SHALLOW FOUNDATION, DEEP FOUNDATIONS EARTHWORK CAST IN PLACE, CONCRETE.

RIGID CONCRETE. PAVEMENT.

[01:30:01]

THIS ITEM IS ALSO PRESENTED BY OUR CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL, BLAKE MOORE. SO THE CITY STAFF WE'RE CURRENTLY USING BUREAU VERITAS NORTH AMERICA FOR OUR THIRD PARTY INSPECTIONS AND PLAN REVIEWS.

AND WE WOULD LIKE TO TERMINATE THEIR CONTRACT WITH THEM AND ENTER INTO A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH SAFE BUILT, LLC.

WE ARE GRADUALLY GOING DIGITAL WITH OUR PLAN REVIEWS.

HOW WE'RE RECEIVING PLANS AND IT'S MORE EFFICIENT.

BUREAU VERITAS. THEY DON'T ACCEPT DIGITAL SUBMISSION.

THEY COME PICK UP THE PLANS, TAKE THEM TO DALLAS, REVIEW THEM, AND THEN BRING THEM BACK.

AND SO IT'S QUITE THE PROCESS.

SAFE BUILT OFFERS THAT.

AND THEY ALSO OFFER MORE COMPETITIVE PRICING PER INSPECTION AND PER PLAN REVIEWS.

FOR EXAMPLE, BUREAU VERITAS, THEY CHARGE US $76.92 FOR A RESIDENTIAL INSPECTION. SAFE BILLED IS CHARGES $70.

SO THERE'S ALMOST A $7 SAVING THERE.

DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MUCH UNLESS UNTIL YOU HAVE A LOT OF THEM COMMERCIAL THOUGH.

IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A $45 DIFFERENCE.

COMMERCIAL BUREAU VERITAS IS AT $125 PER.

INSPECTION SAFE BUILT IS AT $85 PER COMMERCIAL INSPECTION.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT SAFE BUILT IS.

THEY ALSO WORK WITH OUR SCHEDULING SOFTWARE I WORKS.

IT'S WHAT WE USE TO SCHEDULE INSPECTIONS.

WE SEND THE INSPECTOR OUT IN THE FIELD.

IT HAS ALL OF OUR INSPECTIONS ON THE TABLET.

THEY'RE ABLE TO. CLICK ON THAT, PUT THEIR REVIEW NOTES IN AND EMAIL IT STRAIGHT TO THE CONTRACTOR, TO THE BUILDER TO.

THE HOMEOWNER THAT WAY THEY'RE NOT WAITING FOR THEIR RESULTS ON THE INSPECTION.

BUREAU DOES NOT WORK WITH THAT.

AND SO IN THE CASE THAT I AM OUT AND OUR BUILDING INSPECTOR IS OUT FOR VACATION OR SICK OR MAYBE ON SOME CE CLASSES OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE SAFE BUILT IS ABLE TO COME ON SITE.

USE OUR PROGRAM ART AND PUT THEIR NOTES IN AND EMAIL IT DIRECTLY TO THE BUILDER OR THE RESIDENT, JUST LIKE WE WOULD.

AND THAT WAY THEY'RE NOT WAITING AROUND TO SEE WHAT THE RESULTS ARE GOING TO BE.

AND SO THEIR, THEIR TIME, THEIR TURNAROUND TIME IS, IS WE GET A LOT OF PLANS COMING IN.

AND SO WE HAVE TO REVIEW THOSE PLANS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

AND SOMETIMES THESE BIG PROJECTS THEY'RE, THEY'RE THICK.

AND SO TO REVIEW ALL THOSE IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT'S REALLY, IT'S REALLY A JOB.

AND SO SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO SEND OUR PLANS TO A THIRD PARTY TO GET THAT TURNAROUND TIME MET IN A TIMELY MANNER. AND SO THE CITY STAFF REQUESTS CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE TERMINATING BUREAU VERITAS NORTH AMERICA CONTRACT AND ENTER INTO A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH SAFE BUILT LLC FOR ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PLAN REVIEW AND INSPECTION SERVICES. WHEN DID OUR CURRENT CONTRACT END? SO WELL, THE BUREAU CONTRACT CAN END AT ANY TIME.

ANY QUESTION? I ENTERTAIN SOMEBODY, MAKE A MOTION.

WE APPROVE RESOLUTION R2026-03-1333 AND.

MR. SECOND. THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY MISS CAMPBELL AND A SECOND BY MR. ELMORE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION R 2020 6-031333.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR MISS CAMPBELL OR MR. ELMORE? FAR. MISS RODRIGUEZ FOR.

I'M ALSO FOR IT SO RESOLUTION R 2020 603-1333.

PASSES. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

OKAY. THIS TIME WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 12.

DISCUSS AND CONSIDER RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A MASTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES FOR THIS ONE.

SPEED SAFETY STUDY ALONG TRACK DRIVE FROM DOWDY FERRY ROAD TO WINTERGREEN ROAD AND TWO SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS AT TROUTT DRIVE AND DOWDY FERRY ROAD.

THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY CHIEF PERRY.

MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.

I WAS ASKED TO BRING THIS BEFORE COUNCIL TONIGHT IN RESPONSE TO THE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE HAD ABOUT TROUT ROAD AND THE NEED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT TROUT ROAD AND DOWDY FERRY AND SPEED HUMPS ON DOWDY FERRY ROAD.

YOU MAY RECALL THAT BACK IN 2023, THE BUILDING OFFICIAL OR NOT, THE BUILDING OFFICIAL, THE CITY ENGINEER AT THE TIME, HE BROUGHT FORTH A POLICY BEFORE COUNCIL FOR SPEED HUMPS.

THE POLICY DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE AT THE TIME.

AND THIS REALLY COMES DOWN TO AN ISSUE AND A POLICY FOR COUNCIL TO DIRECT US ON WHAT YOU

[01:35:02]

SO WE REACHED OUT TO KIMBERLY KIMLEY-HORN.

WE USED THEM ON LANCASTER HUTCHINS ROAD FOR THE SPEED SURVEY.

WE ALSO USE THEM FOR THE STOP SIGNS AT WINTERGREEN AND LANCASTER HUTCHINS ROAD.

SO WE REACHED OUT TO THEM AND ASKED THEM TO GIVE US A PROPOSAL FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT STUDY FOR TROUT ROAD AND DOWDY FERRY, AND FOR ALSO A SPEED STUDY ANALYSIS.

I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE SPECIFICALLY SPOKE TO THEM ABOUT SPEED HUMPS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SPECIFICALLY SPEAK TO THEM ABOUT SPEED HUMPS.

WE ASKED THEM TO COME FORTH WITH IDEAS TO REDUCE SPEED ON TROUT ROAD, WHETHER THAT BE SPEED HUMPS OR SOME OTHER TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES.

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN DO OUT THERE AS WELL. I ALSO THE OFFICERS HAVE BEEN OUT THERE WORKING ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. I HOPE THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE SEEN THEM OUT THERE WORKING ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. BUT IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU ALL WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AND DO A TRAFFIC STUDY THERE, THIS PROPOSAL IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

I WOULD ALSO ASK OR MAYBE RECOMMEND THAT YOU ALL GO OVER TO WOODY ROAD AND 175 IN THE CITY OF DALLAS. AND I DON'T MIND ALSO, YOU KNOW, TAKING YOU OVER THERE AND SHOWING YOU, BUT THE CITY OF DALLAS, THEY HAVE WOODY ROAD RIGHT AT 175 HAS PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW, TEN SPEED HUMPS, HUGE SPEED HUMPS ON THAT ROAD TO SLOW TRAFFIC. YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE THERE.

SO YOU COULD REALLY GET A GOOD IDEA, YOU KNOW, OF WHAT SPEED HUMPS ARE AND WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT DO, YOU KNOW? SO BUT THIS IS BEFORE YOU ALL TONIGHT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

I KNOW. PERSONALLY, I AM SO TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT TRAFFIC AND PEOPLE SPEEDING ON THAT THING I'M READY TO DO. I'M READY TO PUT UP A BRICK WALL ON THAT THING. JUST GET EVERYBODY LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT IT. BUT I MEAN, I'VE BEEN IN PARTS OF DALLAS OVER THE MERCEDES NEIGHBORHOOD AND STUFF WHERE THEY HAVE THE REALLY, IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED, WINNING PEOPLE END UP SOMEBODY'S FRONT YARD. YOU PUT A SPEED HUMP OUT THERE. I MEAN, WE REALLY CATCH YOU OFF GUARD IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEY'RE THERE. BUT ONCE AGAIN, YOU SHOULDN'T BE SPEEDING DOWN THERE EITHER. BUT FOR SURE I WILL, I WILL TO JUST LET COUNCIL KNOW THAT WE HAVE ORDERED THE NEW SPEED TRAILER.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES THAT THE NEW SPEED TRAILER IS GOING TO GO ONCE WE RECEIVE THAT. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT SOME DIGITAL SPEED SIGNS THAT CAN BE POSTED IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY. THEY COLLECT DATA AND WE CAN MONITOR SPEED FROM THOSE SIGNS AS WELL. SO THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING TO AS WELL TO, JUST TRY TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF IF SPEEDING IS OCCURRING AND WHEN IT'S OCCURRING. WELL, YOU KNOW, I LIVE ON TROUT ROAD. YES, SIR.

2045 AFTER WEEK. ONCE OR TWICE.

IT'S A FREEWAY. TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP BEYOND MY HOUSE, AND I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTERGREEN AND DOTTY FERRY AND.

I WENT DOWN HERE ON TEAGARDEN.

THAT'S DALLAS, AND THEY GOT FOUR SPEED BUMPS.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR FOUR.

YOU COULD PUT TWO. THAT'S NOT A STRAIGHT ACROSS FROM THE HOUSES.

AND I HOPE YOU PUT SOME OF THEM AND SHOW HOW FAST THEY DRIVE IT.

IT IS UNREAL. WE GOT ALL OUR MAILBOXES KNOCKED DOWN FIVE OF THEM AT ONE TIME.

AND WE'RE MOVING ALL OF OUR MAILBOXES TO THE OTHER SIDE.

AND WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH WILMER BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE HE'S COMING OUT OF.

THERE'S OWEN WINTERGREEN AT THE FIRST THERE.

I MEAN, ON WINTERGREEN THERE'S FIVE.

IT'S ON OUR SIDE. AND THEN DOTTY FERRY THERE'S FOUR ON THAT SIDE.

BUT OUR FIVE WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING OVER.

BUT WE DONE MOVED THEM BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS.

GO ACROSS THE STREET AND SIT THERE AND YOU BETTER NOT STICK AND LOOK INSIDE BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS. AND WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR FOUR.

AND YOU GO DOWN HERE ON TEAGARDEN AND IT'S JUST SCIENCE STARTING OFF.

THERE'S SPEED BUMPS AND AT THE END OF.

FOR THEIR SPEED BUMPS, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE LIGHTS.

AND I'VE ASKED THAT QUESTION THEN.

SO I THINK THE THING IS, MR.

[01:40:02]

IT'S NOT MY DECISION. IT'S NOT MR. CLINTON'S DECISION. IT'S THE COUNCIL DECISION AS TO WHAT YOU ALL WANT TO SEE HAPPEN.

SO WE DO HAVE A SPEED HUMP POLICY.

NO, WE DO NOT HAVE A SPEED HUMP POLICY AT THIS TIME.

WELL, I'LL ENTERTAIN SOMEBODY, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION SO WE CAN GET STARTED AND SEE WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET FIXED DOWN THERE. I MAKE A MOTION. WE APPROVE RESOLUTION R 2020 6-03-1334 AS DISCUSSED BY OUR POLICE CHIEF PERRY. AND THERE'S A MOTION BY MISS RODRIGUEZ SECOND.

SORRY. THERE'S A MOTION BY MISS RODRIGUEZ AND SECONDED BY MISS CAMPBELL TO APPROVE RESOLUTION R 2020 6-3-1334.

WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, MISS CAMPBELL? FOR MR.. ELMORE, FOR MR. RODRIGUEZ, FOR. AND I AM ALSO FOR IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL GET THIS.

WE'LL GET IT GOING. THANK YOU.

OKAY. WE'RE ON ITEM 13.

DISCUSS AND CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING MEMBERSHIP IN THE ADAMA CITY STEERING COMMITTEE AND AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT OF $0.04 PER CAPITA TO THE CITY STEERING COMMITTEE TO FUND REGULATORY AND RELATED ACTIVITIES RELATED TO ATMOS ENERGY CORPORATION. THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY MR. QUINN. YES. ATMOS. WHAT HAPPENS HERE ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE IS THEY HAVE A LOT OF CITIES, I THINK 65 OR 70 CITIES THAT COME TOGETHER AND THEY POOL THEIR MONEY AND THEN THEY CHALLENGE ANY KIND OF RATE INCREASE.

ATMOS MAY HAVE US. WE'RE ONLY PAYING $245, 96 FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF LEGAL WORK. SO IT'S A GOOD DEAL.

ALL MY SEEDS HAVE BEEN REMEMBER THAT SINCE LIKE 2002.

SO ANYTIME THERE'S A CHALLENGE OF A RATE INCREASE, THEY HAVE A LAW FIRM AND RATE ANALYSTS GO DOWN AND REVIEW THE INCREASE.

AND I'D SAY 90% OF THE TIME THEY GET THE RATE REDUCED BY THE GAS COMPANY TO THE BENEFIT OF THE CITIES AND BUSINESSES OF HUTCHINS.

SO IT'S RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE FOR US TO GET ALL THAT LEVERAGE WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE. I MAKE A MOTION.

WE APPROVE RESOLUTION R 2020 6-03-1335 AS READ BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR JAMES QUINN SECOND. THERE'S A MOTION BY MISS RODRIGUEZ AND SECOND BY MRS. CAMPBELL TO APPROVE RESOLUTION R 2020 6-03-1335.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, MISS CAMPBELL? FOR MR..

ELMORE, FOR MISS RODRIGUEZ, FOR.

AND I'M ALSO FOR THE MOTION CARRIES.

[I. EXECUTIVE SESSION]

YOU'RE WELCOME TO WAIT WHILE WE'RE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION, OR YOU MAY LEAVE AT THIS POINT, BUT WE'LL BE BACK SHORTLY.

WE ARE GOING TO COME OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION AT 8 P.M.

[J. RECONVENE INTO REGULAR SESSION]
