RESOLUTION NUMBER TWENTY TWENTY ONE DASH SIX SEVEN THREE.

SETTING A PROPOSED TAX RATE AND APPROVING DATES, TIMES AND LOCATIONS FOR TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE PROPOSED 2021-2022 BUDGET AND TAX RATE, AND A DATE FOR THE VOTE OF THE ADOPTION OF THE 2021-2022 BUDGET AND APPROVAL OF THE TAX RATE.

OK. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR GRANT, YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THIS? SURE, I HAVE A LITTLE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION HERE, JUST KIND OF GO OVER IT.

SO JUST KIND OF RECAP THE THE CALENDAR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

WE'VE HAD OUR TWO BUDGET WORKSHOPS.

WE'VE HAD OUR SECOND ONE BEFORE THIS MEETING TODAY.

IT'S GOING TO BE THE BUDGET PROPOSED BUDGET IS GOING TO BE FILED WITH THE CITY SECRETARY POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE FRIDAY.

AND THEN WE'RE PROPOSING TO HAVE A FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE AND BUDGET ON AUGUST THE 31ST AND THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING AND FINAL ACTION ON SEPTEMBER SEVEN.

SO JUST KIND OF LAST YEAR THEY INTRODUCED SENATE BILL TWO.

AND I'LL GO OVER THIS AGAIN JUST BECAUSE IT'S STILL FAIRLY NEW WITH SENATE BILL TWO.

THEY HAVE NEW TERMINOLOGY, THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE, WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.

AND THIS IS THE THE RATE NEEDED TO RAISE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS, PROPERTY TAXES ON EXISTING PROPERTY AS THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

AND THEN THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE WAS PREVIOUSLY CALLED THE ROLLBACK TAX RATE.

AND THAT'S THE RATE NECESSARY TO RAISE PRECISELY EIGHT PERCENT MORE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS TAX REVENUE AS THE YEAR BEFORE.

THE SENATE BILL TWO LOWERS THE MULTIPLIER USED IN THE RATE CALCULATION FROM EIGHT PERCENT TO THREE POINT FIVE PERCENT.

ALSO, A NEW RATE.

NEW TERMINOLOGY IS THE DE MINIMIS RATE, AND IT WAS A NEW RATE.

THAT'S THE CALCULATIONS DESIGNED TO GIVE SMALLER TAXING UNITS CITIES UNDER 30,000 POPULATION, THE FLEXIBILITY TO ADOPT A TAX RATE THAT GENERATES 500,000 MORE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE THAN THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

AT APPLYING A THREE POINT FIVE PERCENT VOTER APPROVAL RATE.

SMALL COMMUNITIES RESTRICTS REVENUE GROWTH TO A NOMINAL AMOUNT, AND THE APPLICATIONS OF THE LOWER LOWER VOTER APPROVAL RATE CREATE AN UNFAIR RESULT FOR SMALL TOWNS.

SO JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED TAX RATE.

PROPOSED TAX RATE WE HAVE IS POINT THREE SIX FIVE NINE EIGHT FOUR, WHICH IS THE CURRENT TAX RATE, COMPARING THE TWO YEARS BETWEEN 2020 AND 21.

WELL I'LL GO OVER 2021 FIRST.

SO THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE CAME IN AT POINT THREE FOUR NINE ONE NINE FIVE AND THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE CAME IN AT 0.

360290 WITH THE ADOPTED TAX RATE EXCEEDING BOTH OF THOSE.

BUT IT DOES FALL BELOW THE DE MINIMIS RATE OF POINT THREE EIGHT NINE NINE NINE NINE.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE M&O RATE IS POINT THREE THREE ONE EIGHT SEVEN ZERO.

AND THE DEBT TAX RATE ON I&S PORTION IS THE POINT ZERO THREE FOUR ONE ONE FOUR.

AND YOU SEE FROM THE CHART JUST KIND OF A COMPARISON OF THE TWO YEARS.

AS I SAID, JUST A SECOND GO, SINCE THE PROPOSED TAX RATE EXCEEDS THE NO NEW REVENUE OR THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE.

IT DOES REQUIRE A RECORD VOTE AND A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE TO BE SCHEDULED.

SO IF THE CURRENT TAX RATE OF POINT THREE SIX FIVE NINE EIGHT FOUR IS PROPOSED, IT WOULD EXCEED BOTH THE NO NEW REVENUE AND THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE.

[00:10:04]

BUT AS I SAID BEFORE, DOES FALL BELOW THE DE MINIMIS RATE.

SO PROPOSE WITH THE PROPOSED RATE OF POINT THREE SIX FIVE NINE EIGHT FOUR THE TWO FUTURE PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL BE TUESDAY, AUGUST 31ST AT SEVEN O'CLOCK AND TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH AT 7:00. OK.

THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT YOU HAVE PREPARED IS BASED ON OUR TAX RATE STAYING THE SAME OF POINT THREE SIX.

FIVE NINETY FOUR.

OK COUNCIL ARE THERE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? COUNCIL FEEL FREE TO WEIGH IN.

OK. DOES ANYONE WISH TO? JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE TO HAVE THE DATES, TIMES AND LOCATION IN THIS MOTION FOR THIS ALSO? OK.

I WOULD TAKE A MOTION FROM SOMEONE PROPOSING A TAX RATE WITH THE DATES, TIMES AND LOCATIONS OF THE PROPOSED HEARINGS AND THE FINAL APPROVAL.

TAX RATE AT POINT.

IT'S BEHIND.

POINT THREE SIX FIVE NINE EIGHT FOUR AND ALLOWING FOR TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS TO BE HELD AT CITY HALL ON THE FOLLOWING DATES AND TIMES.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 31ST AT SEVEN P.M.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH AT SEVEN P.M..

OK, IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. OK, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE OUR TAX RATE AT ZERO THREE SIX FIVE NINE EIGHT FOUR AND CONDUCTING TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS, ONE ON AUGUST THIRTY FIRST 2021 AT SEVEN P.M.

AT CITY HALL.

THE SECOND ONE WILL BE ON SEPTEMBER SEVENTH AT SEVEN P.M.

ALSO AT CITY HALL.

AT THAT SAME DATE, AFTER THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING IS HELD, THERE WILL BE A VOTE ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE AND ON THE BUDGET.

IS THAT CORRECT? DID I GET EVERYTHING IN THERE THAT NEEDED TO BE IN THERE COUNCIL? OK, THEN ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE.

I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED.

THANK YOU. MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO.

DID ANYBODY NEED ME TO READ THE MOTION AGAIN? OK, ITEM NUMBER FOUR CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ADVERTISING REQUEST FOR

[4. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ADVERTISING REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQS) FOR CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS/AUDITORS.]

QUALIFICATIONS RFQS FOR CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS AUDITORS, GRANT.

I THINK THIS IS ALSO YOUR YOUR ITEM.

YES, MA'AM. SO THE CITY SENT OUT A RFQ ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE DEADLINE FOR THE RFQ WAS JULY 30TH AT 10:00.

AS OF THAT TIME, WE HAD RECEIVED ONE BID, IT IS FROM OUR CURRENT AUDITOR, BROOKS WATSON.

I DID EMAIL THE PACKET TO YOU GUYS A COUPLE HOURS AGO BEFORE THE MEETING.

WE GOT THE DOCUMENTS ALL SCANNED IN.

WE DID HAVE ONE OTHER REQUEST FOR FOR INFORMATION.

AND UPON RECEIVING THAT INFORMATION, THEY WITHDREW DUE TO THEY SAID, NOT HAVING, THEY'RE SHORT-HANDED ON PERSONNEL.

BUT THEY DID SAY THAT WE'RE GETTING A VERY GOOD VALUE WITH THE CURRENT AUDITOR AND OUR AUDITOR IS A VERY REPUTABLE FIRM.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT'S.

OK. HOW LONG HAS BROOKS CARDALE BEEN OUR AUDITOR? IT WAS I THINK WE SAID SEVEN YEARS.

SEVEN YEARS.

OK, COUNCIL.

YES, MADAM MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO TO ASK A QUESTION IN THE AGENDA ITEM.

IT SAYS CONSIDERATION AND OR APPROPRIATE ACTION, ADVERTISING REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

[00:15:03]

FOR CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS, AUDITORS.

IT DOES NOT SAY ACCEPTING ACCOUNTING FIRMS. AND I HAVE QUESTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE RFQ.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND I HAVE A, OOPS, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. LEVINE. OUR CHOICES ARE AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, ONE TABLING THIS UNTIL WE HAVE IT POSTED CORRECTLY ON THE AGENDA OR B ACCEPTING THE CURRENT BID OR C, CAN WE GO OUT FOR CAN WE REPOST FOR BIDS? I WOULD SAY THE EASY ANSWER TO THAT IS A AND THEN WE CAN ADDRESS, WE CAN ADDRESS, C WHY WE'RE WHILE WE HAVE AN INTERIM PERIOD OF TIME FOR A.

SO TO PUT THAT BACK IN ENGLISH, I THINK FOR PURPOSES OF CLARITY, I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH RAISES A GOOD POINT.

WE SHOULD TABLE THIS. WE CAN PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA.

AND BY THE NEXT AGENDA I CAN GET WITH MR. SAVAGE AND WE CAN WE CAN EVALUATE WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE AND REPORT THAT BACK TO COUNCIL AT THE NEXT MEETING. OK, MS. LYNCH, WOULD YOU CARE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE? QUESTION FIRST OR CLARIFICATION.

THAT THE AGENDA ITEM WAS CONSIDERATION ABOUT THE REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS AND BEFORE WE WOULD GO OUT FOR BID AGAIN, I THINK THERE DOES NEED TO BE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS.

THAT COUNCIL, IN MY OPINION, NEEDS TO NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADDRESS THOSE NOW AND THEN TABLE ANY ACTION? COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH, I'M NOT SURE WHAT ARE YOU PROPOSING WE DISCUSS? THE ACTUAL REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS THAT WAS SUBMITTED IN OUR AGENDA PACKET.

SO YOU'RE CONCERNED WITH THE CONTENT OF THE RFQ, IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

THE CONTENT AND THE TERM OF THE AUDITORS CONSIDERATION OF AUDITORS TO BE ONE YEAR VERSUS SOME DIFFERENT TERM? OK, SO HERE'S WHAT I'M GONNA SUGGEST, THAT IT WOULD BE, I THINK, USEFUL FOR ALL IF WE TABLE THIS TO THE NEXT MEETING.

AND I'M HAPPY TO GET NOT ONLY WITH MR. SAVAGE, BUT ALSO WITH YOU.

AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CONCERNS ARE AND POST THE AGENDA IN SUCH A MANNER TO ADDRESS EVERYONE'S CONCERNS AND TALKING POINTS.

IF THAT SOUNDS ACCEPTABLE TO EVERYONE.

IT DOES, YEAH, I AS A FORMER CPA, IT'S THE AUDIT IS, IN MY OPINION.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S VERY CLEAR THE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AUDIT FOR.

YEAH. TO ENSURE THAT WE PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF OUR PUBLIC FINANCE FUNCTION AND MAINTAIN THE CITIZEN'S CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ELECTED LEADERS.

SO THAT IS IS THE CRITICAL NATURE OF THIS AUDIT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND I'M COMFORTABLE DOING THAT.

OK, IS THERE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS ITEM? MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL A LATER DATE.

I'LL SECOND MADAM MAYOR.

OK WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO TABLE ITEM NUMBER FOUR AND BRINGING IT BACK WHEN IT IS WORDED, GIVING BETTER NOTICE THAN THIS DID, WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL BE NEXT NEXT MEETING.

BUT.

I THINK I THINK IT OUGHT TO BE NEXT MEETING, SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO GET SQUARED AWAY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. OK, PATTI, WOULD YOU PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING PLEASE? OK.

NEXT ITEM NUMBER FIVE.

OH NO.

I WAS JUST GOING TO MOVE RIGHT ALONG.

[LAUGHTER] ANY FURTHER COMMENTS.

OK, THEN I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF TABLING THIS ITEM UNTIL AUGUST 17TH'S COUNCIL MEETING.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANYONE OPPOSED? NOT HEARING ANY MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO.

THIS ITEM IS TABLED WITH NO ACTION TONIGHT.

OK, ITEM NUMBER FIVE, CONSIDERATION AND ON ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON PARKER RANCH

[5. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON PARKER RANCH ESTATES PHASE 5 PRELIMINARY PLAT.]

ESTATES, PHASE FIVE, PRELIMINARY PLAT.

MR. MACHADO. YOU WANT TO START US OFF?

[00:20:30]

BEAR WITH ME ONE SECOND.

I'M JOHN BIRKHOFF WITH BIRKHOFF HENDRICKS AND CARTER, DALLAS, TEXAS.

AND WITH ME IS MY PARTNER, CRAIG [INAUDIBLE].

THERE'S A LOT OF NEW MEMBERS ON THE COUNCIL, SO I JUST LIKE IF YOU BEAR WITH ME, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF REVIEW OF WHAT WE DO.

AND THEN AS WE WE ACTUALLY GET INTO TO SOME QUESTIONS, CRAIG, CAN JUMP IN.

SO SET OF PLANS COMES INTO THE CITY.

THEY GET PASSED ON TO US.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE WE GET INTO REVIEWING THE PLANS.

AND SO WE ARE NOT THE DESIGNERS.

WE ARE JUST THE CHECKERS, BASICALLY.

AND WHAT WE WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT THE PLANS ARE BEING SUBMITTED, THEY ARE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, OTHER ORDINANCES WITHIN THE CITY DRAINAGE MANUAL, STANDARD DETAILS AND WHAT WE CALL GOOD ENGINEERING PRACTICE.

SO WE BASICALLY GO IN AND GRADE THE PAPER AND MAKE COMMENTS AND WE RETURN THOSE BACK TO THE CITY AND THE CITY PASSES THOSE BACK ON TO TO THE DEVELOPER AND THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEERS. PART OF WHAT WE DO AND USUALLY WHEN WE GET TO THIS POINT, THERE'S ALWAYS A QUESTION ABOUT DRAINAGE.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PREPARED TO TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT DRAINAGE.

NEW SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE COMING IN.

YOU KNOW, THEY ARE REVIEWED FOR DRAINAGE.

WE REVIEW THEM FOR THE CURRENT CRITERIA, WHICH IS THE 100 YEAR STORM.

ONE CHANCE IN 100.

THAT STORM WILL OCCUR IN ANY GIVEN YEAR.

AND AT THE END, THE DESIGN ENGINEER HAS GONE THROUGH THE CALCULATIONS USING THE PROPER COEFFICIENTS. WE GET INTO THERE ALONG CREEKS OR WE'RE DISCHARGING THE CREEKS.

YOU KNOW, WE GET INTO SOME FLOOD STUDIES, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY ARE FILLING WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE SUBDIVISIONS ARE REQUIRED TO DETAIN WATER SO THEY CAN'T DISCHARGE ANY ADDITIONAL WATER THAN WHAT'S THERE TODAY.

SO AN UNDEVELOPED TRACT GETS DEVELOPED AND WE PUT DRIVEWAYS AND ROOFTOPS ON.

YOU KNOW, RUNOFF IS INCREASE, GETS THERE QUICKER AND, YOU KNOW, HAS TO BE DETAINED IN THE PONDS. SO, YOU KNOW, WE GO THROUGH AND REVIEW THOSE CALCULATIONS THAT THE DESIGN ENGINEER DOES TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THAT DETENTION POND IS ADEQUATE.

YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE POINT DISCHARGING ONTO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, THEN, YOU KNOW, EASEMENTS ARE REQUIRED AND WE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE EASEMENTS CAN BE OBTAINED BY BY THE DEVELOPER.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES YOU KNOW WATER MAY BE SHEET FLOWING ACROSS.

YOU KNOW, WE START TO COLLECT IT IN A DETENTION POND AND THEN IT HAS TO DISCHARGE INTO THE NATURAL DRAINAGE BASIN.

SO IN THIS PARKER RANCH, PHASE FIVE, YOU KNOW, THEY CAME IN IN THE END IN JANUARY, WE REVIEWED IT. THERE WERE THIRD TOTAL OF 34 COMMENTS THAT WE HAD, 11 WERE WERE PERTAINING TO DRAINAGE. THEY RETURNED THE PLANS.

WE REVIEWED THEM IN MARCH.

WE GOT DOWN TO 21 ITEMS, OF WHICH THREE WERE DRAINAGE.

AND THEN HERE, YOU KNOW, MID-JULY THAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND THEY HAVE RESPONDED TO TO ALL THE COMMENTS WE HAD.

SO ONCE THIS GETS APPROVED, YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPER WOULD GO OUT AND BUILD THE SUBDIVISION TO THE PLANS THAT THEY HAVE.

BEFORE IT CAN COME BACK.

YOU KNOW, THE CITY, YOU KNOW, CALLS ME.

WE GO OUT AND WE BASICALLY WALK THE SITE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IT IS BUILT TO THE PLANS.

[00:25:06]

AND IF THEY'RE NOT, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE GO THROUGH ANOTHER LIST, A PUNCH LIST TO TRY TO GET THIS THAT SUBDIVISION TO WHAT THE PLANS SHOW.

AND, YOU KNOW, ONCE IT GETS TO THAT POINT, THEN IT COMES BACK, YOU KNOW, FOR FOR THE, YOU KNOW, FINAL PLAT TO BE ACCEPTED.

SO AT THIS POINT, I'LL TURN IT OVER FOR CRAIG AND HE'LL KIND OF SUMMARIZE THE DRAINAGE, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO Y'ALL.

BUT ALL THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT WE REVIEWED GOES THROUGH THIS PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DESIGN ENGINEER'S FILLING HIS REQUIREMENTS AS A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER.

AND I KNOW THAT WE FRUSTRATE SOME ENGINEERS AND WE FRUSTRATE DEVELOPERS OF CONSTANTLY MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE GETTING IT RIGHT.

BUT ULTIMATELY, THE ENGINEER RECORD THE GUY THAT SAYING, YOU KNOW, SEALING IT, SIGNING AND DATING, IS THE ONE THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT DESIGN.

SO CRAIG, IF YOU GIVE THEM A SUMMARY OF PARKER RANCH.

HELLO, MAYOR COUNCIL, GREAT SEEING YOU THIS EVENING, MY NAME'S CRAIG [INAUDIBLE] PARTNER OF JOHN BIRKHOFF AT BIRKHOFF, [INAUDIBLE] AND CARTER.

SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO PARKER RANCH PHASE FIVE, WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT AS IT COMES IN, AS IT RELATES TO STORM DRAINAGE, TO BEGIN WITH WHAT'S CALLED THE DRAINAGE AREA MAP.

SO WE LOOK AT ALL OF THE STORM WATER FLOWING THROUGH THIS AREA, NOT JUST THIS SITE, BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING OFF SITE THAT IS COMING ACROSS THIS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ACCOUNT FOR. SO THAT'S TYPICALLY ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS.

AS THEY CONTINUE THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS OF PARKER RANCH PHASE FIVE OR ANY DEVELOPMENT AS IT SPECIFICALLY APPLIES TO PARKER.

THERE'S A LOT OF OPEN DRAINAGE CHANNELS, OR [INAUDIBLE].

SO WE LOOK AT THE DEPTH AND SHAPE OF THOSE AND THE HUNDRED YEAR EVENT THE MR. BIRKHOFF MENTIONED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER SURFACE ELEVATION IS BELOW ONE FOOT BELOW THE TOP OF BANK ON ALL OF THOSE [INAUDIBLE] THROUGHOUT THE SUBDIVISION.

ADDITIONALLY, THE HOUSE HAS TO BE ANOTHER FOOT ABOVE THAT.

SO THERE WILL BE TWO FOOT ELEVATION DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HUNDRED YEAR EVENT MINIMUM AND THE HOUSE PAD ELEVATION.

SO AS A MINIMUM CRITERIA, WE CHECK THROUGHOUT THE SUBDIVISION.

AS IT RELATES TO SPECIFICALLY PARKER RANCH, PHASE FIVE, THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE SITE ACTUALLY FLOW INTO THE CITY OF ALLEN.

SO IT'S AN INTERESTING WRINKLE THIS ONE THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO ALL.

SO THE DEVELOPER ACTUALLY GOT WITH THE CITY OF ALLEN, EVALUATE THE DOWNSTREAM PLANS FOR THEM AND HAVE AN APPROVAL LETTER FROM THE CITY OF ALLEN ALLOWING THE DISCHARGE INTO ALLEN'S SYSTEM. SO AT THAT POINT, ONCE THEY MAKE THE CONNECTION INTO ALLEN, THAT'S ALLEN'S PROBLEM. SO PARKER IS NOT EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN DOWN INTO ALLEN.

SO ALLEN HAS APPROVED THAT.

AND HAS THE NORTHERN TWO PORTIONS OF THIS SITE, THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THIS DRAINS TO THE SOUTHEAST WHERE THEY WILL HAVE A DETENTION POND AND THEY WILL DETAIN TO EXISTING CONDITIONS AND THEY'LL ACTUALLY BE LETTING RELEASING JUST A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY. THERE IS AN EXISTING POINT DISCHARGE THERE TODAY INTO A DRAINAGE EASEMENT ACTUALLY CROSSES MALONE ROAD AND GOES TO THE EAST.

AND SO THEY'RE RELEASING LESS FLOW AND IT IS BOTH IN THOSE BANKS AND FLOWS TO THE RECEIVING WATER FROM THERE.

SO IN SUMMARY, MOST OF THE SITE GOES TO ALLEN, WHICH THEY HAVE ACCEPTED AND APPROVED DEVELOP DISCHARGE INTO THEIR SYSTEM.

AND THE SOUTHERN PORTION GOES TO DETENTION POND WHICH DETAINS TO THE EXISTING CONDITIONS.

AND IT FOLLOWS A NATURAL DRAINAGE PATH FROM THEIR.

SO THE ONLY QUESTION I WOULD HAVE IS THAT IS THERE ANY RAMIFICATIONS, EVEN THOUGH ALLEN HAS ACCEPTED THE SITUATION WHERE WE COULD OVERWHELM THEM IN SOME REGARD WHERE THEY WOULD COME BACK, OR DO YOU HAVE BY WAY OF GETTING THAT LETTER FROM THEM THAT THERE IS NO ANYWAY THAT WE'D HAVE ANY CAUSE WHERE THEY COME BACK TO US? I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY CAUSE, WHEN THEY HAVE THAT LETTER, THEY HAVE THE SAME.

SO THE DEVELOPER HAD TO GO LOOK AT THE CITY OF ALLEN'S SYSTEM AND THEIR STORM DRAINAGE CRITERIA. SO THEY HAD TO COME LOOK AT IT FROM SEVERAL DIRECTIONS AND THEY DESIGNED IT SO AS WE'LL MAKE THAT CONNECTION THAT MEETS ALL OF ALLEN'S CRITERIA.

SO THEREBY WHEN THEY ALLOW THAT CONNECTION, WHICH THEIR INSPECTORS WILL ALSO HAVE TO INSPECT THAT CONNECTION. SO THEY'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OVERLAP DURING CONSTRUCTION AS WELL. SO WHEN THEY ACCEPT IT.

IT IS THEIRS FROM THERE ON.

. WHAT PORTION OF THE REST OF THE SUBDIVISION FLOWS NORTH OF THAT? I MEAN, WOULD IT IMPACT EITHER ONE OF THOSE EXISTING STREETS IN PARKER BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS.

[00:30:17]

THAT IS AN EXISTING ROADWAY.

YES. SO WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT, THEY WILL.

AND THERE ARE THREE EXISTING STORM WATER OR THERE'S ONE EXISTING STORM WATER CULVERT THERE TODAY. SO THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE PUTTING TWO NEW ONES ACROSS THAT, BUT THEY WILL NOT BE SHEET FLOWING ANY WATER ACROSS THE TOP OF THAT ROAD.

THEY WILL BE PUTTING IN UNDERGROUND STORM DRAINS TO GO UNDERNEATH THAT ROADWAY.

SO WITHOUT GO INTO THE STREETS OF ALLEN.

THEY WILL TIE IN TO THE PIPES THAT ARE UNDERNEATH THE ROADS TODAY.

OK, WHICH.

[INAUDIBLE] SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS DRAINAGE HERE AND IT'S GOING TO DRAIN OUT THIS WAY.

YES. OK, [INAUDIBLE]. SO SHE'S WONDERING IF IT'S GOING TO CROSS HERE.

I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT, KARA AND LISA KNOW, SO ALL THE WATER THAT GOES TO THE DETENTION EASEMENT WILL COME DOWN WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND IT WILL, VERY DIFFICULT TO MIC] AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT STUFF ON KESWICK, IT'S ONE ACRE LOTS, BUT IT BACKS UP TO THE FUTURE PARKER RANCH ESTATES.

SO WHY ARE WE LETTING A ONE POINT TWO ACRE LOT? BECAUSE THAT'S NOT REALLY TRANSITIONAL.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE ONES THAT ARE ON THIS PLANET ON KESWICK, 16, 15, 14, THOSE ARE ONE POINT TWO ACRE LOTS TO BACK UP TO FUTURE PARKER RANCH ESTATES.

SO GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS MATTHEW LEE, I'M WITH WESTWOOD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, THE PD THAT'S IN PLACE FOR THE TRACK. MY UNDERSTANDING, THE PD IS CHAPARRAL'S PRETTY MUCH YOUR BOUNDARY.

SO SOUTH OF THAT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO ACRE MINIMUMS. ANYTHING NORTH OF THAT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN AVERAGE OF ONE AND A HALF ACRES.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COMPOSITE OF TRAVIS RANCH, THE PHASES ONE THROUGH FIVE, NORTH OF CHAPARRAL, WE HAVE A ONE AND A HALF ACRE AVERAGE ACROSS ALL THOSE LOTS.

AND THEN EVERYTHING SOUTH OF THAT IS TWO ACRE MINIMUMS. PARKER RANCH, TOO MANY RANCHES, PARKER RANCH SORRY.

[00:35:08]

MINIMUMS. THERE IS SOME NORTH OF [INAUDIBLE] ROAD, MIC].

LUKE, ARE YOU ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THE AGREEMENT WE MADE WITH THEM IS USING CHAPARRAL AS A DIVIDER? I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT.

YEAH.

WHAT THAT'S. IF I HAVE TO, I CAN GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT, COUNCIL WANTS TO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS UP TO THEM IF THEY APPROVE ON CONDITION THAT THAT IS ACCURATE.

THEN, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE COULD DO THAT, COULDN'T WE, SCOTT? AND IF IT'S NOT, THEN WE COULD BRING IT BACK.

YEAH, YOU MIC] IT'S ON THE SERVER, I CAN YEAH.

I MEAN, IF WE WANT TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK AND SECURE THAT WE CAN DO THAT.

IF YOU WANT TO CONDITIONALLY CONFIRM THAT, THAT'S ALSO FINE.

I'M COMFORTABLE WITH CONDITIONALLY APPROVING AND TRUSTING THE STAFF WILL VERIFY.

I AM AS WELL.

I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.

THE TRAFFIC FLOW, HOW DO IT HOW DO YOU EXIT THE SUBDIVISION? SO THE COMING THROUGH CHAPARRAL TIES INTO ALLEN HEIGHTS ON ONE SIDE AND THEN MALONE ON THE OTHER DRIVE OUR OTHER SIDE.

THAT WAS PART OF OUR CONVERSATIONS.

WHEN THE PLAN REVIEW WENT TO THE CITY OF ALLEN WAS HOW WE CONTROL THE TRAFFIC PATTERN ON THE CITY OF ALLEN CONNECTION ON MALONE, THAT SIDE, THE INTERSECTION, MALONE AND CHAPARRAL. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY REDOING STRIPING ON THAT SIDE WHERE WE'LL HAVE ONE THROUGH LANE AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A RIGHT TURN LANE FROM THE ALLEN SIDE COMING ON.

BUT CHAPARRAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO BOTH SIDES.

SO YOU HAVE ALLEN HEIGHTS ON ONE SIDE AND THEN MALONE ON THE OTHER DRIVE.

AND THEN SOUTH IS GOING TO TIE INTO WHITESTONE DRIVE.

SO THERE ARE OTHER EXITS.

NO MA'AM.

MA'AM.

MADAM MAYOR, I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION, I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE PARKER RANCH ESTATE PHASE FIVE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

THIRTY SEVEN SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL LOTS, TWO COMMON AREAS, LOTS ONE SIX THROUGH 16, BLOCK E, LOTS 26, 27, NEXT BLOCK F, BLOCK ONE THROUGH TEN, BLOCK H, LOTS ONE THROUGH NINE, BLOCK I, LOTS ONE X TWO THROUGH SIX, BLOCK J BEING EIGHTY FIVE POINT SEVEN THREE SIX ACRES SITUATED IN THE JAMES BRADLEY SURVEY, CONTINGENT ON THE FACT THAT STAFF IS TO

[00:40:03]

CONFIRM THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DOES ALLOW FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY TRANSITIONAL USE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WAY THAT THEY HAVE IT PLATTED.

BUT WHAT IF WE CAN TURN THAT AROUND JUST A LITTLE BIT AND SAY THAT THE PLAT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE SUBJECT TO THEIR ABILITY TO CONFIRM THAT THE PLAT CONFORMS WITH THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT REGARDING LOT SIZE.

WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY SAID.

WE HAVE A MOTION FROM MR. SLAUGHTER, IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. OK.

FURTHER DISCUSSION? OK THEN I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT CONDITION ON THE . ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION IF NOT I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED

[6. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON WHITESTONE ESTATES PHASE 5 AND 6 PRELIMINARY PLAT.]

. MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO.

I'D BE HAPPY TO.

COUNCIL, GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, CRAIG [INAUDIBLE] BIRKHOFF [INAUDIBLE] AND CARTER.

THIS IS WHITESTONE ESTATES, PHASE FIVE AND SIX.

WE HAVE REVIEWED THIS SAME PROCEDURE AS MR. BIRKHOFF MENTIONED EARLIER.

AS FAR AS THE OVERALL PLAN REVIEW, FOR YOUR REFERENCE AND THANK YOU PATTI FOR THE HANDY LASER POINTER HERE. I GUESS REALLY DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN, DOES IT? SO IF YOU SEE THE EAST AND WEST CHANNEL ALONG THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE, THAT IS THE SAME. THERE WE GO. THAT IS THE SAME DRAINAGE CHANNEL WE JUST SPOKE OF ON PARKER RANCH, PHASE FIVE. SO PARKER RANCH PHASE FIVE WOULD BE THE VERY TOP LEFT OF THIS SHEET OF PAPER.

SO THERE'S KIND OF THE CONNECTIVITY OF ALL OF THIS IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.

SO THIS IS NINETY THREE LOTS.

AND AS FAR AS ROADWAYS AND CONNECTIONS, BELVEDERE DRIVE, WILL GO EAST WEST THROUGH THIS DEVELOPMENT. IT WILL CONNECT TO FM 2551 ON THE EAST, WHICH THEY'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED PLANS TO TXDOT AND GOT A PERMIT FOR.

AND IT WILL EXTEND TO THE WEST WHERE IT WILL CONNECT TO BELVEDERE DRIVE AND THEN TO WHITESTONE DRIVE. SO THERE'S THAT KIND OF CONNECTIVITY OF EVERYTHING.

STORM DRAINAGE ON THIS ONE WAS A LITTLE MORE INVOLVED.

IF YOU SEE THE LARGE OPEN SPACE TO THE RIGHT SIDE, THAT IS FLOODPLAIN.

AND SO BUT FOR THE FACT THAT THEY HAD SOME PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT AREA, THEY DID A FLOOD STUDY. SO WHAT THAT FLOOD STUDY MEANS AS THEY LOOKED AT THE ENTIRE BASIN AND THEY DID A COMPUTER MODEL OF IT, IT'S CALLED [INAUDIBLE].

AND SO THEY DID A FULL STUDY, CROSS SECTIONS, FIELD [INAUDIBLE] ALL OF THAT TO SEE WHAT EFFECT THEIR DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAVE ON THAT FLOODPLAIN.

AND THEY TOOK INTO ACCOUNT EVERYTHING DRAINING ACROSS THIS SITE AND ALL THE WAY COMING DOWN THROUGH THAT CREEK SO AS COMPREHENSIVE INTO THAT BASIN.

SO WE'VE REVIEWED THAT FLOOD STUDY AND THEN PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY DO HAVE.

AND AGAIN, SAME SAME END RESULT WITH THIS AS A PARKER RANCH FIVE, SO, WHEN IT LEAVES THEIR SITE, THERE IS NO INCREASED STORM WATER RUNOFF AS IT LEAVES THIS DEVELOPMENT AFTER THEY'RE DEVELOPED. AND AGAIN, THAT AGAIN TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE PREVIOUS PHASES OF WHITESTONE THAT ARE DRAINING THROUGH THIS AREA, PARKER RANCH, PHASE FIVE IS DRAINING THROUGH THAT DRAINAGE EASEMENT TO THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE AND DOWN THROUGH HERE.

A COUPLE OF CAVEATS TO THIS ONE THAT ARE.

JUST KIND OF CONDITIONS OR THINGS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AS AS YOU DISCUSS AND OR TAKE ACTION IS A COUPLE OF ACTION ITEMS THAT THEY WILL STILL NEED TO DO, BUT IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE. ONE, THEY WILL NEED TO SUBMIT A LOMR. THAT IS A CONDITION WE'VE PUT ON THIS.

AND THEY'VE THEY'VE AGREED.

THEY'VE ACKNOWLEDGED A LOMR IS A LETTER OF MAP REVISION.

SO THAT SAID THAT IS FLOODPLAIN.

AND SO WHAT THAT DOES IS THEY WILL MAKE AN OFFICIAL SUBMITTED, SUBMITTAL TO FEMA, FEMA WILL REVIEW IT, MAKE COMMENTS AND IT WILL BE APPROVED.

[00:45:02]

AND THAT WILL OFFICIALLY CHANGE THE FLOOD PLAIN WITH REGARDS TO INCORPORATING THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE BASIN TODAY.

THE REASON THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE AS OF YET IS BECAUSE THAT HAS TO REPRESENT ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTED ELEVATIONS.

SO WE'VE REVIEWED IT FOR WHAT THEY'VE PROPOSED TO DO.

AND THE PLAN LOOKS LOOKS LIKE IT'S WELL DONE.

WE HAVE DONE TO A DEGREE OF CONFIDENCE THAT ANY COMMENTS THAT COME BACK FROM FEMA WE THINK SHOULD BE MANAGEABLE OR REASONABLE.

AND SO ONCE THEY START CONSTRUCTION, THEY WOULD DO THE MASS GRADING FIRST, PUSH ALL THE DIRT AROUND, GET IT TO THE ELEVATIONS IT NEEDS TO BE.

THEY WOULD GO OUT WITH THE SURVEY CREW, SURVEY THE GROUND THEN INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE FLOOD STUDY. AND THEN THAT'S WHAT GOES TO FEMA'S HEY, THIS WAS WHAT IS CONSTRUCTED AND THAT'S WHAT FEMA REVIEWS.

SO THAT IS A NORMAL PROCESS FOR THAT.

A LOT OF CITIES WILL ALLOW CONTRACTORS TO DO THE MASS GRADING AND THEN SUBMIT THE LOMR AND THEN A CONTRACTOR, IF THEY WISH, CAN REQUEST TO CONTINUE AT THEIR RISK FOR UTILITIES AND WHATNOT, BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE FEMA ABOUT SIX TO NINE MONTHS TO REVIEW THAT LOMR. SO IS A BIT OF PROCESS, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF WORK OUT THERE FOR THEM SO THOSE CAN GO A LITTLE BIT CONCURRENTLY. SO THAT HAS NOT BEEN SUBMITTED YET BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO ACTUALLY SUBMIT THAT LOMR UNTIL THEY DO THE MASS GRADING WHICH IS PENDING Y'ALLS CONSIDERATION. THE SECOND ACTION ITEM FOR THEM AND THIS IS JUST AS WE LEARN THINGS THROUGH, WALK THROUGHS IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, WE ARE PRETTY FAR ALONG IN THE REVIEW PROCESS. THEY ADDRESSED ALL OF OUR COMMENTS.

MR. BIRKHOFF IS DOING A WALK THROUGH WITH MR. MACHADO IN A DIFFERENT SUBDIVISION.

AND WE'VE NOTICED SOME OF THE INTERSECTIONS, THE CULVERTS AND THE HEAD WALLS.

EVEN THOUGH THE PLANS LOOK GOOD ENGINEERING WISE, THE PAPER, THEY LOOK GREAT.

WE'RE HAVING SOME EROSION ISSUES IN THE FIELD.

SO, YOU KNOW, THEY ADDRESS MOST OF OUR COMMENTS THROUGH THE REVIEW.

JOHN AND I SPOKE LATE IN THE REVIEW PROCESS.

AND AGAIN, WHILE THE PLANS LOOK GOOD, WE'VE ASKED FOR SOME ADDITIONAL CROSS SECTIONS FROM THEM, SPECIFICALLY AT THE INTERSECTIONS, JUST TO KIND OF VERIFY AND DO A LITTLE MORE DUE DILIGENCE THAT, HEY, WE'RE WHEN THIS GETS BUILT, IT'S GOING TO BE CORRECT.

WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE HAPPY AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO DEALING WITH SOME OF THE THINGS WE ARE. AND SO WE'VE REQUESTED THAT, YOU KNOW, PRIOR TO PRE CON, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF REDESIGN. BUT AGAIN, IT'S KIND OF LATE, VERY LATE IN THE REVIEW AS WE LEARNED THIS THROUGH OTHER DEVELOPMENTS. SO WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR THAT.

BUT THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THEY SHOULD EASILY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AND WE CAN LOOK AT RATHER QUICKLY AND MAKE ANY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD NEED IT.

I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

PARDON ME BEING NAÏVE ON THIS, BUT IS THERE IT'S A PRETTY LARGE AREA.

IS THERE A COLLECTION POINT WITH ANY KIND OF A POND OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THAT IS THE POND. YES, SIR.

AND ACTUALLY A PORTION THAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE FLOODPLAIN.

SO WHAT WE LOOKED AT WAS IN THE FLOODPLAIN THAT TRAVELS NORTH AND SOUTH RATHER LARGE.

THERE IS A ONE HUNDRED YEAR ELEVATION, THE SAME ONE HUNDRED YEAR STORM THAT MR. BIRKHOFF MENTIONED. AND SO THAT IS THE STARTING ELEVATION AS EVERYTHING GOES BACK.

SO IT IS LOOKING AT THE HUNDRED YEAR FOR THAT ENTIRE FLOODPLAIN.

AND THEN THIS DEVELOPMENT IS DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE ABOVE THAT.

IT'S NOT SEPARATED, IT'S TIED IN AND CONNECTED.

THOSE BLOCKS LOOK AWFULLY CLOSE TO THE FLOODPLAIN.

DURING A MAJOR RAIN EVENT.

YES MA'AM THAT FLOODPLAIN COULD FILL UP.

YES, MA'AM. CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.

AND HOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ELEVATION DIFFERENCES BETWEEN.

IS A MINIMUM OF TWO FEET FROM THAT FLOODPLAIN LINE.

RIGHT. TO THE FINISHED FLOOR OF THE HOUSE.

OK, AND I HEARD YOU SAY THAT IN THE LAST.

NO WORRIES. ONE. BUT IS THERE A CHANCE THAT THAT TWO FEET IS GOING TO BE FILLED WITH WATER ? IN AN ENGINEERING WORLD IF YOU HAVE A THOUSAND YEARS OF STORM, I MEAN, IF WE HAVE A RAIN EVENT BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE.

SO THE ORDINANCE, WHICH IS TYPICAL IN NORTH TEXAS, IS THE ONE HUNDRED YEAR EVENT.

I KNOW. BUT HOW MANY HUNDRED YEAR STORMS HAVE WE HAD IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS? I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY.

I MEAN, TO HER POINT, [INAUDIBLE] SEE THAT THAT STREET THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE POND THERE, I, I WOULD BET A LOT OF MONEY THAT THE FIRST BIG STORM THAT YOU GET WHEN YOU GET FIVE INCHES OF RAIN IN A TWO HOUR PERIOD, THAT'S GOING TO FLOOD OVER.

AS FAR AS HOW THEY DO THE FLOOD STUDY, IT IS THAT 100 YEAR EVENT, IT IS BASED ON A TIME OF CONCENTRATION. SO HOW BIG THE BASIN IS, HOW LONG IT TAKES THE WATER TO GET THERE AND SUCH, BUT IT IS ON THE 100 YEAR EVENT.

AND IN THAT POND ITSELF AND THE FLOODPLAIN THERE IS THE TWO FEET OF FREEBOARD AND THEN THE ROADWAY IS UP ABOVE.

BEYOND THAT, ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THESE ARE DESIGN, THE DESIGN ENGINEER WILL MAKE WHAT'S CALLED AN OVERFLOW PATH.

AND SO FOR SOME REASON, IF SOMETHING WERE TO OVERFLOW OR BACK UP OR THE OUTLET IS CLOGGED, THEN IT WOULD OVERFLOW AWAY FROM THE HOUSES AND STILL GO DOWNSTREAM.

SO IT DOESN'T FLOOD THE HOUSES BEFORE IT WOULD GO DOWNSTREAM.

THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE OUR RECOMMENDATION WHEN THERE IS A LOMR TYPE CASE IS THAT

[00:50:05]

THE FLOOD, THE LORM, THEY IF THEY DO THE MASQUERADING, THEY SUBMIT THE LOMR TO THE CITY, WE'LL REVIEWED ONE MORE TIME JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WHAT WE THINK IT IS.

AND FEMA WOULD NEED TO IMPROVE THAT, APPROVE THAT PRIOR TO YOU ACCEPTING ANY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS SO BEFORE THE FINAL PLAT WOULD COME BACK TO BE FILED.

AND Y'ALL TAKE THE STREETS AND WATER, FEMA APPROVAL WOULD HAVE TO BE IN HAND FOR THAT LOMR. [INAUDIBLE] I HAVE A QUESTION FOR GARY.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ARE, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN IS ONE THING, BUT ACTUALLY REALITY WHERE WE GET A LOT OF WATER FLOWING AND THE BEING THAT CLOSE TO THE STREET, THE EROSION FACTORS THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER THAT YOU'RE ALREADY SEEING IN THE SUBDIVISION.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE YOU NOT SLEEP AT NIGHT? YES.

YES, SIR. CRAIG, IF YOU MIGHT.

YOU GOT IN LOOKING AT YOUR LETTER DATED JULY 19, 2021.

YOU'VE GOT FOUR COMMENTS.

YOU'VE ADDRESSED TWO OF THEM.

ARE THE OTHER TWO SOMETHING THAT YOU GO OVER WITH, COUNCIL? YES. THE FIRST ONE WAS THAT, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE WAS NOT A PD, WHICH IS COMMON FOR A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS HERE. SO ANY LANDSCAPE OR TRAIL PLANS HAD TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY.

AS CIVIL ENGINEERS, I'M NOT A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT OR WHATNOT.

I BELIEVE THEY SUBMITTED THOSE TO GARY, AND Y'ALL AND THE CITY HAS LOOKED AT THOSE.

SO THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED. AND THE SECOND ONE IS THE YOU KNOW, THE PLANS CALL FOR MONUMENTS TO BE PLACED AT THE PROPERTY CORNER.

AND THEN WE WANT AN RPOS TO CERTIFY SO A SURVEYOR NEEDS TO GO OUT AND ACTUALLY SURVEY IT.

BUT AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING AFTER CONSTRUCTION.

IF THEY GO DO THAT NOW, THEY'RE GOING TO GO TEAR THEM ALL UP JUST TO BUILD THINGS.

SO THAT WOULD BE A POST CONSTRUCTION PRIOR TO THE CITY ACCEPTING THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ITEM THAT WE WOULD LOOK FOR.

SO WHAT I HEAR Y'ALL SAYING, GARY, IS, IS IF COUNCIL WERE TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, THAT THEY WOULD APPROVE IT SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS IN TWO, THREE AND FOUR ON THE LETTER.

YES SIR.

CRAIG DID ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING, SO I JUST GET TO GIVE YOU THE FUN PIECES.

PRESTON [INAUDIBLE] 4040, NORTH CENTRAL DALLAS, TEXAS, 75204.

WE JUST CHANGED OFFICES AND I KEEP GETTING THE ZIP CODE WRONG.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT.

WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING IN WHITESTONE PHASE FIVE AND SIX.

THIS WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO BE TWO PHASES WITH THE SPEED THE PARKER IS GROWING.

THERE'S DEMAND FOR THIS TO BE DONE IN ONE PHASE.

THERE'S ALSO A NUMBER OF EFFICIENCIES FROM A DRAINAGE STANDPOINT.

THE POND WAS ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTED WITH WHITESTONE PHASE THREE AND WAS DESIGNED TO ULTIMATE CAPACITY.

THERE'S A DRAINAGE AGREEMENT BETWEEN PARKER RANCH AND THE MASTER DEVELOPER OF WHITESTONE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRAINAGE THROUGH THE CHANNEL ON THE NORTHERN PART OF THE PROPERTY LINE AND THEN DOWN THROUGH MAXWELL CREEK.

SO THAT THE POND ITSELF THAT YOU'RE SEEING IS JUST OVER NINE ACRES OF CONSTRUCTED SURFACE AREA AT 15 FEET DEEP.

IT'S AN EXTREMELY LARGE AREA THAT AGAIN WAS DESIGNED AT CAPACITY EARLY ON AND THEN VERIFIED WITH EACH STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION TO CONFIRM THAT IT WAS STILL SIZE TO HANDLE THE DRAINAGE THAT WILL COME TO THIS AREA.

OUR DESIGN ENGINEER, THOMAS MOSS, IS HERE AS WELL, IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR HIM. BUT THE 93 RESIDENTIAL LOTS, I WISH THERE WAS A PROFILE REALLY IN PLATTING.

THERE'S NOT A GOOD VISUAL OF WHERE THE LOT IS TO WHERE THE STREET IS, TO WHERE THE POND IS, TO WHERE THE CREEK IS.

BUT THERE'S AN ENORMOUS DROP RIGHT THERE FROM WHERE THE FINISH LOT ELEVATION WILL BE TO WHERE THE ROADWAY ELEVATION IS.

SO YOU'LL HAVE A DRIVEWAY GOING DOWN AND THEN DOWN AGAIN TO THE POND AND THEN DOWN EVEN FARTHER TO THE CREEK LEVEL.

SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF STORAGE CAPACITY WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN AS WELL AS THAT'S BEEN DESIGNED INTO THIS SPECIFIC POND.

SO I REMEMBER YEARS AGO WHEN WHITESTONE WAS FIRST APPROVED, BUT PART OF THAT SALES

[00:55:06]

PROCESS.

SURE. WAS THAT THE WATER RETENTION OR DETENTION AREA WAS GOING TO BE THERE WAS GOING TO BE ENOUGH ROOM AROUND THERE THAT THERE WOULD BE WALKING TRAIL AND PECAN TREES AND THAT TYPE OF THING. I DON'T SEE THAT MUCH AREA WHEN I LOOK AT THIS.

SO THE OPEN AREA IS ACTUALLY STILL RATHER LARGE.

I CAN. THOMAS, CAN YOU PULL THAT UP FOR ME? THE ROADWAY WAS ACTUALLY MOVED FARTHER TO THE WEST IN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING THIS, AND THE POND WAS ENLARGED AS WELL.

SO THE AREA TO THE EAST OF THE POND IS QUITE SIZABLE.

AND RIGHT NOW, THE LANDSCAPE AREA THAT, LUKE ARE YOU DRIVING? IF YOU CAN ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT IN BETWEEN THE FUTURE 2551.

IT'S TO THE EAST OF THE POND.

THANK YOU. ONE A IS THAT ON THE TABLE, THOMAS? I DON'T HAVE IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THAT AREA IS STILL GOING THROUGH LANDSCAPE DESIGN AS WE UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH DRAINAGE IS COMING FROM TXDOT AND WHAT CAN BE ACCOMMODATED THERE.

WE DON'T WANT TO PLANT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE PROBLEMATIC LONG TERM AS THAT ROADWAY COMES THROUGH. BUT THERE IS STILL INTENDED FOR A LARGE SET OF WALKING TRAILS, SOME OPEN NATURE AREAS, A GROVE OF TREES.

AND THEN WE'RE ACTUALLY IN DISCUSSIONS RIGHT NOW WITH THE FARMER WHO WOULD LIKE TO KEEP CATTLE THERE LONG TERM.

THE LANDSCAPING AND WALKING TRAIL WOULD BE TO THE EAST OF THE POND, CORRECT? CORRECT. SO IT'LL CONNECT AND COME AROUND TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE POND AS WELL.

AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A SIDEWALK TRAIL THAT'S SHOWN ON A SHEET OF THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS THAT STARTS JUST IN THE NORTH LOT THIRTY SIX A RIGHT THERE WERE LUKE'S POINTER IS AND IT CONNECTS BACK TO BELVEDERE.

SO IT'LL CREATE INTERCOMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY, GOING BACK TO THE MAIN PARK THAT'S JUST BEEN CONSTRUCTED, AND THEN THE WALKING TRAIL WILL CONTINUE DOWN TO THE EAST TO THIS POINT RIGHT HERE. AND THE TERMINI WILL THEN DROP DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND CONNECT INTO THE LARGER OPEN SPACE TO THE SOUTH.

IS THAT THE ONLY SIDEWALK? BECAUSE I HAD NOTICED PREVIOUSLY ON SOMETHING THAT CAME THROUGH THAT, THAT THERE WAS SIDEWALKS AND I EVEN CALLED THE MAYOR SAID I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAVE SIDEWALKS IN PARKER.

BUT IS THAT THE ONLY AREA THAT HAS SIDEWALKS? IT WILL. SO IT'LL CONNECT BACK TO BELVEDERE DRIVE IN PHASE ONE IN ORDER TO TRY AND CREATE A MORE PERMANENT TRAIL SYSTEM.

WE WENT BACK INTO A PREVIOUS PHASE OF WHITESTONE AND EXTENDED A CONCRETE SIDEWALK OR TRAIL TO THE NORTH ALL THE WAY UP TO PARKER RANCH.

AND THEN THAT COMES TO THE CENTRAL PARK AT THE CENTER OF WHITESTONE.

AND THEN THE SIDEWALK WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE COLLIN COUNTY TRAIL SYSTEM MAP ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST AND TIE IN TO THIS OPEN SPACE HERE, WHICH WILL THEN ALLOW CONNECTIVITY TO GO FARTHER SOUTH. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

REPEAT THAT, WHAT YOU SAID.

I DON'T THINK P&Z SPECIFIED ADDITIONAL, ANY CONDITIONS.

THEY JUST RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

ALL RIGHT. AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS, JOHN, YOU ALL RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH THOSE THREE CONDITIONS, THOUGH, ATTACHED TO IT, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. ANY DISCUSSION ? IF NOT I WILL CALL FOR THE MOTION.

WHAT I UNDERSTOOD IS THAT ISSUE FROM THE JULY 19, 2021 LETTER, THERE ARE FOUR COMMENTS OR ISSUES RAISED BY BIRKHOFF HENDRICKS AND CARTER LLP, THE FIRST OF WHICH IS A LANDSCAPE PLAN, WHICH MY UNDERSTANDING FROM FROM OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR THAT THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED. SO THE REMAINING THREE ISSUES AND THE LATTER ISSUES, NUMBER TWO, THREE AND FOUR WOULD BE THE CONDITIONS UPON WHICH THE PLAT WOULD BE APPROVED IF SOMEONE WAS SO

[01:00:05]

INCLINED TO MAKE THAT MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE APPROVAL FOR PARKER OR THE WHITESTONE ESTATES, PHASE FIVE AND PHASE SIX PLAT WITH THE PRIMARY PLAT, WITH THE PRELIMINARY PLAN EXCUSE ME, WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE JULY 19TH LETTER FROM BIRKHOFF HENDRICKS, CARTER LLP AND WITH THREE CONDITIONS WHICH WERE LISTED IN THERE ARE TWO, THREE AND FOUR WOULD BE MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE ADHERED TO.

MADAM MAYOR, I SECOND THAT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND THAT WE APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF WHITESTONE PHASE FIVE AND SIX. CONTINGENT UPON COMPLETION OF THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH BY JOHN BIRKHOFF [INAUDIBLE] ON JULY 19, 2021.

THE LETTER FROM CRAIG.

FURTHER DISCUSSIONS? IF NOT I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT IF YOU ARE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING ANYBODY OPPOSED. OK PASSES FOUR TO ZERO BUT IT IS WITH THE CONDITIONS AS STATED.

NEXT WE WILL GO ON TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN.

HELLO, MADAM MAYOR, HOW ARE Y'ALL? WELL, BASICALLY, I'M GEORGE LONG, INDUSTRIAL GAS SALES AND MARKETING ACCOUNT MANAGER ATMOS ENERGY. OFFICE AT THIRTY SIX NINETY SEVEN MAPLE SHADE LANE IN PLANO, TEXAS.

AND I'M JUST HERE ON BEHALF OF ATMOS ENERGY TO PRESENT THIS, TO ASK THAT THE COUNCIL PASS THE RESOLUTION OF THE RATE MECHANISM THAT WAS FILED IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR, AND THE

[01:05:03]

FOLLOWING NEGOTIATED WITH THE ACSC.

I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

PATTI REACHED OUT TO OTHER TO TO THE GROUP AND OTHER CITIES.

SO LET ME JUST ASK WHILE YOU'RE HERE.

HAS THERE AS THERE HAVE BEEN ANY CITY THAT'S REFUSED TO SIGN OR DEMANDED ANY CHANGES TO THE RESOLUTION? I DON'T KNOW THAT ANSWER AT THIS TIME.

I WASN'T GIVEN THAT INFORMATION.

I CAN I CAN SAY THAT IN THE PAST, THERE REALLY HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF CITIES WHOSE REFUSED IT, BECAUSE THEN IT GOES TO A REGULAR RATE STRUCTURE THAT MAY TAKE MONTHS, YEARS.

SO THAT'S WHY THE COALITION WAS, YOU KNOW, WAS KIND OF SET UP FOR THAT.

PATTI YOU WERE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO COUNCIL.
