Mar 10, 2022 Planning & Zoning

[00:00:01]

OK, LET'S START HERE, ANOTHER ONE.

[CALL TO ORDER]

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A [INAUDIBLE] .

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

I'M HERE ON ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

I'M STEVEN BROOKS, I'M CEO OF GRAND HOMES AND PROUD TO BE HERE.

PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.

WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS BUILDING HOUSES.

I WANT TO THANK GARY IN PARTICULAR FOR HELPING US GET THROUGH THIS PROJECT.

AND PRESTON, JOHN AND BEN WITH US.

WE'VE GOT 15 PEOPLE WHO'VE BOUGHT HOUSES FROM US AND THEIR MILLION DOLLAR HOUSES, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING A LOT TO YOUR TAX BASE AND HOPEFULLY IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR EVERYBODY HERE IN THE PROPERTY VALUES.

THESE GUYS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB AND I JUST WANT TO THANK THEM PUBLICLY, AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT GETTING THIS THING LAUNCHED AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS UNDER CONSIDERATION UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

SO GOD BLESS YOU.

GOD BLESS PARKER, AND THANK YOU.

[1. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION MEETING MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER 11, 2021.]

FIRST ONE IS FROM NOVEMBER 11, 2021.

[2.CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 3, 2022.]

[3. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON 6815 MCWHIRTER ROAD DEVELOPMENT PLAT. ]

AND I GUESS BEFORE WE GET STARTED HERE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT ON

[00:05:02]

IS THERE ANY ANY COMMENTS THAT THE? IT'S IN THE ETJ.

HERE IT SAYS FLAT.

WHAT DO YOU PLAN ON DOING WITH THE PROPERTY? I'M JUST CURIOUS. SURE.

YEAH. SO WE'RE A LEASING COMPANY.

AND SO WE HAVE A CONTRACT TO LEASE OUT TO JUST A SINGLE BUSINESS, WHICH IS A LANDSCAPE.

THE WHOLE SIDE? NOT THE WHOLE SIDE, JUST A PORTION OF IT.

YOU'LL SEE A LOT ONE AND LOT TWO.

LOT TWO IS JUST FARMLAND.

AND AT THIS CURRENT MOMENT.

SO NOT RIGHT NOW, NO, SIR.

AND SO WE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE LOOKED AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS LOOKING AT FILMS AND WOULD IT BE HOME BUILDERS FOR LOT TWO, WE'VE LOOK AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS ON THAT SIDE.

BUT NOT WE DON'T HAVE ANY CURRENT PLANS, BUT SOME.

FARMERS FARMING WHEAT RIGHT NOW, AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.

[INAUDIBLE] BRINGING A SITE PLAN TO US OR [INAUDIBLE].

THAT'S ALL COUNTY, BUT THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS WHAT WOULD BE THE GOVERNING DOCUMENT ON THAT PROPERTY WITH US AND THE COUNTY? AND DO WE PROVIDE WATER TO HIM ALREADY? NO. YOU KNOW, UNLESS HE WANTS TO PAY FOR THE WATERFRONT, WHICH WE'VE ALREADY HAD THAT CONVERSATION AND HE'S NOT INTERESTED.

HE'S GOT ONE.

. HE'S NOT, WE'RE NOT DOING AN ANNEXATION.

SO I GUESS REALLY WHAT WE [INAUDIBLE].

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION, WE TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON THE 6815 WHERTHER ROAD DEVELOPMENT.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

ANY OBJECTIONS? THANK YOU FOR THAT. I'LL SECOND THAT.

OK. ITEM FOUR CONSIDERATION AND OR AN APPROPRIATE ACTION ON KINGS CROSSING

[4. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON KINGS CROSSING PHASE 3 FINAL PLAT.]

OK, SO I GUESS FROM THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS READY TO GO.

WELL, LET'S NOT ASSUME.

THERE'S STILL SOME ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED IN KING'S CROSSING THREE.

JOHN AND I WALKED THIS THING, WHAT, THREE TIMES NOW BEFORE.

THREE TIMES, THREE TIMES.

OUR FIRST WALK WAS IN MARCH OF 18 TO 2021.

SO WE DON'T GET TO MARCH 18TH AND SAY IT'S BEEN A WHOLE YEAR THAT [INAUDIBLE] WORKING ON IT. SO, YOU KNOW, EACH TIME YOU KNOW, IT'S TAKEN QUITE A LONG TIME, YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPERS HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING THESE CONTRACTORS BACK OUT THERE.

THERE'S THIS THIRD VISIT THAT WE MADE ON MARCH 3RD.

THERE WERE 10 ITEMS ON THE LIST, PROBABLY A FEW, THEY WERE MAINTENANCE TYPE ITEMS. I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS I'VE SAID, IT'S PROBABLY THE BEST IT IS LOOKED AT IN THE LAST YEAR.

DRAINAGE AND TAKING CARE OF IT ALONG THE ROADWAYS.

THERE'S SOME WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THE CHANNELS, YOU KNOW, FLOW INTO TO LUCAS, THERE'S SOME SOME SILT BUILDUP REGRADING NEEDS TO BE DONE OR A PILOT CHANNEL CONSTRUCTED TO SOLVE THAT. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A PILOT CHANNEL, AND WHEN THE CONTRACTOR CAME BACK IN AND AND TRIED TO BACKFILL, HE THREW LOOSE FILL IN THERE AND IT HAS WASHED AWAY AND SOMETIMES STABILIZED MATERIAL NEEDS BE PUT ALONG THAT BACK CHANNEL AND PROBABLY ABOUT A

[00:10:06]

WE HAVE A, IT WAS A TURN IN THE BACK CHANNEL BEHIND ALL THE LOTS AT 90 DEGREES AND IN THEORY THAT THE CONTRACT BUT THE GRIP WRAP ON THE WRONG SIDE IS THAT OF WHERE THE WATER IS HITTING AND THEY CAME BACK AND BIT ABOUT A FOURTH OF A WALL UP.

AND YOU KNOW, IT NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED OR THE EARTH BEHIND IT STABILIZED BECAUSE THAT'S NOW FAILING. LET'S SEE.

THAT IS STICKING OUT AND THAT CURVE IS 30 40 FEET LONG.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT A HUGE DEAL.

AND THERE'S A PIECE OF RIP WRAP THAT, YOU KNOW, THE STEEL WAS COMING OUT AND IT'S JUST REALLY POOR WORKMANSHIP, EVEN ON THE FINISH OF THE CONCRETE.

AND THAT'S PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, A SOMEWHAT BIGGER DEAL TO TAKE THAT OUT AND REPORT IT, BUT NOT IN MY MIND, A MAJOR THING THAT SLOWED THIS THING DOWN EVEN FURTHER.

OK, SO I CAN HEAR YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT BRINGING OUT CONCRETE YOU.

YEAH, THERE IS A PIECE OF, YOU KNOW, IN AN OUTFALL OF SOME CULVERTS THERE, SOME RIP WRAP THAT RIP WRAP, PROBABLY ABOUT TWENTY FIVE FEET LONG ON ONE SIDE IS JUST, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME STEEL THAT I THINK PROBABLY TOO WET OF A MIX AND THE REBAR FLOATED UP.

I THINK THEY'VE TRIED TO CUT THAT LITTLE PIECE OUT, BUT AN INDICATION THAT IS ONE PLACE AND LOOKING AT THAT WHOLE PIECE OF RIP WRAP, EVEN THE FINISH ON EVERY [INAUDIBLE] IS A SORE THUMB COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER CONCRETE WORK, BUT THAT LOOKS GOOD, OK? AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S AT TWENTY FIVE FEET OF REPLACEMENT, YOU KNOW, THEY COMMIT TO DO IT OR, YOU KNOW, DOING SOME STABILIZE BACKFILL AND DOING SOME OF THESE THINGS.

I THINK TO BE ABLE TO GET DONE PRETTY QUICK.

OKAY. SO I GUESS I GUESS WHENEVER WE HAVE CONCRETE, IS THERE THAT NEEDS TO BE RIPPED OUT AND REPLACED? THAT ALWAYS WORRIES ME A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE KIND OF A FIELD JOB SOMETIMES, AND I DON'T WANT TO GO.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST MORE THAN THAT.

WE KNOW IT'S FORMED WITH REBAR IN IT.

JUST POURED CONCRETE. OK, WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE WE CALL IT RIP WRAP, IT IS POURED CONCRETE OR CONCRETE. YEAH, IT'S NOT ROCK.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD SOME PAVEMENT SLABS THAT HAD CRACKED AND YOU KNOW, THEY'VE TAKEN CARE OF ALL THAT. AND AGAIN, IF YOU GOT OFF THE ROADWAY.

SO THIS IS KIND OF THE BIGGEST RELEASE FROM ANY ISSUES ON THE LIST.

YOU KNOW, ON THE 10 ITEMS, YOU KNOW, THE CO JOINT OUGHT TO BE EASY.

SOME PILES THEY'LL BE ABLE TO HAUL OFF.

I THINK NUMBER THREE, THEY HAVE GRADED, GOT THAT [INAUDIBLE] OR THE MAT DOWN, GET THAT VEGETATED. IT'S THAT NUMBER FOUR IS THE POOR WORKMANSHIP FROM THE CONTRACTOR AND [INAUDIBLE] CHANNEL IS HOLDING A LITTLE BIT OF WATER.

THEY NEED TO ADJUST THE FLOW LINE WHERE IT HITS SOME CONCRETE.

AGAIN, I THINK THIS CONTRACTOR HAD A COMPACT ANYTHING AND GOES IN LOOSE AND WASHES AWAY.

THERE'S SOME GREAT GRADING AGAIN GOING BACK AND LUCAS AND SOME OF THIS, YOU KNOW, THAT BUILD UP AND, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THAT CONTRACTOR WAS TO GO IN AFTER THE STORM EVENTS AND CLEAN IT UP AND GET IT RIGHT.

AND YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE EVENTS OCCURRED AND [INAUDIBLE] AND NOBODY SHOWS UP TO DO ANYTHING AND THEN AGITATES AND MOSS FROZE OVER IT.

AND THEN YOU HAVE SOME OF THIS AND THAT STRETCHES, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY 75 FEET.

YOU KNOW, IT'S ON THE BACK SIDE OF EVERYTHING.

YOU KNOW, THAT 90 DEGREE TURN, I GUESS, NUMBER FOUR AND EIGHT ARE PROBABLY THE CONCRETE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

YOU KNOW, THE PILOT CHANNELS WITH BEING UNDERCUT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THAT'S A STABILIZED MATERIAL, YOU KNOW, SOME CEMENT MIXED WITH SOME EARTH GET IN THERE AND COMPACTED IN PLACE. AND IN THIS ONE, ONE, FOUR TO ONE SLOPE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SET AT THE HEAD WALL INTERSECTION, YOU KNOW, THEY REBUILT IT THREE TIMES NOW.

AND YOU KNOW, FOR WHATEVER REASON, THERE'S A CHUNK, YOU KNOW, THAT PROBABLY ABOUT TWO FEET THAT DOESN'T MATCH ANY OF THE GRADE.

IT JUST HITS A HIGH SPOT.

[00:15:02]

I DON'T KNOW IF HE GRADED EVERYTHING IN THE FILE AND THEN THEY PUT THE ACRYLICS ON IT AND SAY, WELL, CLOSE ENOUGH, WE GO OUT THERE AND SAY, WELL, CLOSE ENOUGH ISN'T QUITE CLOSE.

BUT THESE THOSE ARE MINOR THINGS.

ALL RIGHT, WRIGHT.

FOREIGN AID IS CONCRETE WORK, [INAUDIBLE] WOULD BE GETTING FEELING THAT THAT UNDERCUT AREA AND GETTING IT COMPACTED IN PLACE.

OK. SO, SO YOU HAVE CONCRETE THERE IN THE EARTH.

THEY SETTLE [INAUDIBLE] AND THEY JUST NEED TO GET BACK IN THERE AND GET SOME FILL IN THEIR COMPACTED, VEGETATED BY FOOT, SOME SOLID SOD IN SO IT CAN NOT BLOW.

SO IF I MEAN, ASSUMING FROM TODAY, I MEAN, HOW SOON CAN THIS WORK BE DONE.

I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.

EVERYTHING TAKES SIX MONTHS.

RIGHT. SO THANKS, JOHN.

PRESTON WALL AT 4040 NORTH CENTRAL DALLAS, TEXAS, WE'RE THE DEVELOPER FOR THIS.

SO TO GIVE YOU SOME HISTORY OF KING'S CROSSING PHASE THREE, THIS PROJECT WAS STARTED RIGHT AS IN THE FALL BEFORE COVID.

SO WE STARTED EARTHWORK AND THEN MOVED INTO COVID.

AND AS COVID HAPPENED, YOU HAD VARIOUS CREWS THAT JUST DISAPPEARED.

PEOPLE LEFT, PEOPLE LEFT THE COUNTRY.

DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK IT WAS.

SOME THINGS WENT VERY QUICKLY AND OTHER THINGS JUST FELL APART LATE 2019 AND THEN EARLY 2020. AS WE MOVE THROUGH COVID, FORTUNATELY, AS AS YOU KNOW, HOME BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT WAS DEEMED AN ESSENTIAL ACTIVITY AND SO WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE.

BUT TRYING TO GET CREWS COORDINATED TO WORK THROUGH THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. JOHN AGUIRRE HAVE BEEN VERY GRACIOUS WITH US TO WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS, BUT THIS PROJECT HAS TRULY BEEN A PRODUCT OF THAT.

FOR EXAMPLE, WHITE STONE THREE WAS STARTED ABOUT NINE MONTHS TO A YEAR LATER AND MOVED EXTREMELY SMOOTHLY, AND WE REACHED COMPLETION ON THAT FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS AGO AND HAD NO PROBLEMS, BUT THIS WAS REALLY A PRODUCT OF HAVING CREWS IN AND OUT OF TOWN.

AND SO THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF ISSUES, ALL OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.

I DID DRIVE THROUGH THE PROJECT BEFORE I CAME TO THE MEETING.

TODAY, ALMOST ALL OF THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED SINCE THIS LETTER WAS DELIVERED ON MARCH 3RD. SO THE JOINT BETWEEN LEWIS LANE AND DOVER HAS BEEN SEALED BY GLENN THURMAN.

THE SILT PILES LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MIDDLETON AT DOVER HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND SPREAD. THE SHOULDER ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF DOVER, AT THE EAST OF MIDDLETON HAS BEEN FINE GRADED AND VEGETATION VEGETATION HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.

EROSION CONTROL PROTECTION HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.

THE CONCRETE RIP WRAP DOWNSTREAM OF S-6 IS A SECTION THAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT.

THE CONTRACTOR CAME BACK IN AND CHIPPED AWAY.

THE AREA WHERE THE REBAR HAD FLOATED UP AND HAS FLOATED OVER IT.

SOMETHING TO NOTE IS THAT THE UTILITY CONTRACTOR AND THE PAVING CONTRACTOR BOTH SUBMIT A MAINTENANCE BOND TO THE CITY THAT IS GOOD FOR TWO YEARS.

SO AT ANY POINT IN TIME, IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, IF SOMETHING GOES AWRY, THE CITY IS UNHAPPY WITH SOMETHING THE CITY CAN COME OUT AND SAY, WE DON'T LIKE THIS PANEL.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO CRACK, AND THE CONTRACTOR HAS TO COME BACK AND FIX IT, OR THE CITY CAN RELY ON THAT BOND.

SO BY APPROVING SOMETHING DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S DONE AND OVER WITH BECAUSE THE CITY ACTUALLY ACCEPTS A BOND FROM THE CONTRACTOR THAT GUARANTEES THAT WORK FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. AND SO IF THE CITY IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE PATCH JOB THAT'S BEEN DONE THERE, BY ALL MEANS, THE CONTRACTOR WILL COME BACK AND TEAR IT OUT.

ALL THE CITY HAS TO DO IS INFORM US THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S IN AN AREA THAT WILL AFFECT HOMEBUILDING ACTIVITIES.

IT'S IN A CORNER.

IT'S A WAY FROM ANOTHER AREA, AND IT IS NOT IN THE DIRECT FLOW OF WATER.

IT'S UP ABOVE THE CULVERT PIPES AND REALLY HOLDING BACK AN EMBANKMENT.

WHEN THE PROJECT WAS STARTED, THAT WAS ACTUALLY CALLED OUT AS ROCK RIP WRAP, AND IT WAS GOING TO BE ROCK THAT WAS GOING TO HOLD BACK THE EMBANKMENT.

BUT AT THE REQUEST OF THE CITY, WE REMOVED ALL ROCK RIP WRAP BECAUSE IT BECOMES A MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARE FOR HOMEOWNERS AND FOR THE CITY.

AND WE WENT BACK WITH CONCRETE.

SO THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE WORKED ON THIS AREA AND ARE CONTINUED.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUE TO DO SO.

THE CHANNEL ALONG CANTERBURY HAS BEEN DEGRADED.

MR. BROOKS IS HERE AND DARREN FROM GRAND HOMES.

THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO FIND A GREAT GUY TO GO OUT THERE AND HELP US WITH THAT TODAY.

THAT'S BEEN DONE AS OF THIS MORNING.

THE INTERSECTION AT SUDBURY AND CANTERBURY HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

THE RIP WRAP HAS BEEN CLEANED OUT AND HONESTLY, THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE UNTIL THERE IS SOD ON EVERY SQUARE INCH OF EVERY LOT OUT THERE.

AND THAT'S THE REASON THAT WE, THE DEVELOPER AND THEN THE HOMEBUILDERS HAVE A STORM WATER

[00:20:03]

AND AFTER EVERY RAIN EVENT, IT REQUIRES BOTH THE DEVELOPER OR THE HOME BUILDER, THE OWNER OF THE LOT TO GO CLEAN THAT UP.

THEY CLEAN UP THE SILT FENCE, THEY CLEAN UP ANY [INAUDIBLE].

THEY CLEAN OFF THE LOTS.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS ENDS WHEN A COUNCIL OR A P&Z APPROVES SOMETHING THAT'S AN OBLIGATION THAT'S ONGOING UNTIL PERMANENT VEGETATION IS ESTABLISHED.

THE 90 DEGREE TURN, THE RIP WRAP ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BANK HAS BEEN PROTECTED AT THIS POINT. SO THERE'S A METHOD THAT HAS BEEN ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY THAT GARY AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT WAS UTILIZED IN.

WHITESTONE WAS ACTUALLY UTILIZED AT THE WHITESTONE PARK, WHERE WATER COMES IN AT A FASTER RATE THAN IT DOES IN THIS LOCATION, AND THE VELOCITY THERE IS LOWER THAN IN THE OTHER LOCATION. AND WHAT'S DONE IS THEY PUT DOWN A NETTING ON TOP OF THE CONCRETE TO STABILIZE THE DIRT THEY COMPACT IT.

ON TOP OF THE JUTE NETTING, THEY PUT DOWN SOD AND THEN THEY PUT DOWN ANOTHER LAYER OF JUTE NETTING ON TOP OF IT.

AND WHAT THAT DOES IS IT STAPLES THE SOD IN PLACE.

SO IN A RAIN EVENT, THE DOESN'T WASH OUT AND BECOME LOOSE? IF YOU'VE DRIVEN DOWN LEWIS LANE, YOU'VE SEEN DURING THE LAST ICE STORM, SOMEBODY SWERVED OFF THE ROAD AND WENT INTO THE SOD AND THAT KIND OF MOVES ALL OVER THE PLACE BECAUSE IT'S NOT STAPLED DOWN.

AND SO WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS THEY'VE SECURED THAT AREA TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING AND AGAIN, IT'S VEGETATION.

SO THAT'S PART OF THIS ONGOING PROCESS THAT'S THAT'S MONITORED AFTER ANY RAIN EVENT.

AND THEN THE PILOT CHANNEL HAS BEEN COMPACTED AND REPAIRED BY THE EROSION CONTROL CONTRACTOR. AND THEN AT THE INTERSECTION OF DOVER AND MIDDLETON, THAT AREA HAS ALSO BEEN DEGRADED, SO EVERYTHING OUT THERE IS FOUR TO ONE.

WE'VE PROVIDED GARY WITH SOME SPOT SHOTS TO CONFIRM THAT EVERYTHING IN THE AREA IS FOUR TO ONE FROM THE SURVEYOR, FROM THE CONSTRUCTION STRIKING CREW AND THE SURVEY OF RECORD.

SO THE CITY HAS A DOCUMENT THAT STATES THAT EVERY EMBANKMENT IS EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN FOUR TO ONE SO THAT YOU WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MAINTAINING IT.

WE UNDERSTAND DRAINAGE IS A TOUCHY SUBJECT IN PARKER SINCE IT'S SO FLAT IT'S HARD TO MAKE WATER RUN DOWNHILL ON A FLAT SURFACE.

SO WE WANT TO DO OUR PART TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CORRECT.

DOES THAT HELP ANSWER SOME OF THESE? SO ONE OF THE 10 ITEMS, WHICH ONE I TRIED TO DO ALL 10, BUT I CAN GO BACK AND ADDRESS ONE IF YOU NEED ME TO, WHICH ONE DID I SKIP? IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FOLLOW YOU SOMETIMES.

NO, SO SORRY.

SEVEN IS THE INTERSECTION OF SUDBURY AND CANTERBURY, SO JOHN'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE ROCK CHECK DAM HAS PERFORMED ITS INTENDED PURPOSE BUT HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED OUT AFTER SILT MAJOR RAIN EVENTS.

SO THAT'S AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT IF IT'S FIXED TODAY AND IT RAINS TOMORROW LIKE IT'S EXPECTED, IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AGAIN ON MONDAY.

SO THAT'S.

EVERY SINGLE TIME IS THEY GO IN AND THEY PICK UP ROCK, THEY REMOVE SILT, THEY POWER WASH IT. THEY PUT ROCK BACK.

OR HONESTLY, A LOT OF TIMES THEY CUT IT APART AND REMOVE IT BY HAND.

IT IS QUITE THE UNDERTAKING, BUT IT IS AN ONGOING ELEMENT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT SILT TO TO WASH ONTO YOUR NEIGHBOR.

AND IN THIS CASE, IT'S YOUR NEIGHBOR NEXT DOOR, MAYBE EVEN LUCAS.

SO IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE VERY COGNIZANT OF.

IT'S THE CURRENT LOT OWNER.

SO IF WE THE DEVELOPER, SELL IT TO THE HOME BUILDER, THAT SWIFT TRANSFERS TO THE HOME BUILDER AND THEY REMAIN RESPONSIBLE, THEY FILE THEIR OWN [INAUDIBLE] PERMIT WITH THE CITY AND THE CITY MONITORS THAT.

CHAD IS VERY GOOD.

HE CALLS ALL THE TIME ABOUT THINGS THAT NEED TO BE RESOLVED. YES, AT THE INTERSECTION OF DOVER AND MIDDLETON.

THAT GRADING WAS DONE AS WELL, AND AS JOHN MENTIONED, IT WAS A VERY SMALL SECTION THAT IS KIND OF DIPPED AND DROPPED OFF AND JUST NEEDED TO REALLY BE COMPACTED.

JOHN'S COMPLETELY RIGHT.

IT WAS NOT COMPACTED WELL.

YES, SIR. IT'S BEEN DONE STARTING LAST FRIDAY WHEN WE RECEIVED A LETTER THROUGH TODAY.

NO, I WENT THROUGH TODAY A LOT AND SOME OF THESE I DID SEE, I DID SEE NUMBER ONE ADDRESSED. I DID SEE NUMBER THREE ADDRESSED WHEN I WENT THROUGH EARLIER TODAY, THE [INAUDIBLE] WAS STILL THERE ON NUMBER TWO, NUMBER FOUR, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY MORE TO DO EXCEPT FOR.

[00:25:01]

AND WE HAVE NO PROBLEM MOVING FORWARD, YOU KNOW, ACCEPTING THE PLAT OR RECOMMENDING IT TO COUNCIL WITH THE CONTINGENCY THAT THAT'S DONE.

WE HAVE NO NO QUALM, NUMBER SIX? NUMBER SIX IS NOT DONE. HERE'S WHERE THE CELL TOWERS ARE NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT A GREAT SENSE OUT OF IT. NUMBER SIX WAS? NUMBER SIX IS NOT DONE.

WE DID NOT EXTEND THAT CONCRETE PILOT CHANNEL BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE APPROVED CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS, BUT YES.

YES. JOE CUMMINGS DID IT.

YEAH, HERE'S THE. LOOK.

LET'S START NOW.

THIS IS THE ONE IT'S BACK AROUND ITS CORNER.

NO, THIS IS THE ONE THAT GOES OUT RIGHT HERE.

OH, RIGHT HERE. YEAH.

YES, YES.

STEVEN DENNIS GETS TO THAT TODAY.

THAT'S DONE. THEY DID THE DITCH ALONG CANTERBURY, BUT THEY DIDN'T DO THE ONE THAT GOES OUT TO LUCAS; RIGHT? YEAH, THEY DID.

THEM. YEAH.

THIS RIGHT HERE, THAT MARSHY AREA.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. OK.

THAT NEEDS TO BE GOOD, THAT'S DOUBLE THE WATER GOT LOST, THROWING IN IT.

SO ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS TO KIND OF KEEP IN MIND FROM A MAINTENANCE STANDPOINT IS THAT IF THE DITCH FLOW LINE IS CORRECT, IT WORKS.

THE HOMEBUILDER AND I THINK STEVE WOULD AGREE WITH ME.

THE HOME BUILDER IS GOING TO REGRADE THIS LOT AT LEAST TWO MORE TIMES WHEN THEY START THEIR PROJECT AND WHEN THEY FINISH THEIR PROJECT.

AND THEN IF A HOMEOWNER IS UNHAPPY WITH A BUMP IN THE LOT, THEY RECREATE IT AGAIN SO WE CAN DELIVER A PERFECT PROJECT RIGHT NOW.

BUT THE HOME BUILDER WHO, WHOMEVER THAT IS, IS GOING TO DUMP SAND, DIRT, FILL MATERIAL, THE LOT IS GOING TO BECOME MESSY AGAIN.

AND SO THAT OUR GOAL IS TO GET IT AS PERFECT AS POSSIBLE TO HAND IT OFF TO OUR NEXT PARTNER AND THEN LET OUR NEXT PARTNER WORK ON IT, GET IT AS PERFECT AS POSSIBLE TO HAND IT OFF TO THE HOMEOWNER.

IS THAT AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION? THREE TIMES THEY WILL REGRADE EVERY LOT AND EVERY DITCH LINE THREE TIMES.

YOU DIDN'T FINISH GOING DOWN THE LIST IS WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.

FIVE IS DONE.

THAT'S THE ONE YOU HAD WHERE THEY REGRADED SIX IS THE PART THAT'S NOT SIX AND FIVE ARE ABOUT THE SAME THING THERE.

SIX IS AN EXTENSION OF FIVE.

AND THAT'S NOT THE. SEVEN.

SEVEN'S A MAINTENANCE ITEM THAT IT COULD BE ON THIS LIST TWO YEARS FROM NOW IF THERE'S NOT HUMS ON EVERY SINGLE LOT.

UP AND NOBODY TOOK CARE OF EROSION.

NO ONE CLEANED UP AFTER STORMS. SO THIS BIG ROCK CHECK DAM THAT SHOULD LAST A GOOD YEAR OR MORE IF THEY CLEANED UP.

I BELIEVE IT IS SILTED UP.

AND NOBODY'S CLEANED IT OUT.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF THEY CAME IN AND IT'S NOT COVERED AND WIRES JUST, YOU KNOW, A BUNCH OF ROCKS THERE AND IT JUST FILTERS THROUGH THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT NEEDS COME OUT.

AND IF THEY DID THAT, THAT'S GREAT AND THEY COME BACK IN.

AND THEN AS VEGETATION STARTS TO TAKE PLACE, HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE COMING INTO THE SPRING THAT WE GET SOME GOOD VEGETATION OF THESE SIDE SLOPES THAT WE DON'T DAM WATER UP, RIGHT? AND THAT'S THE GOAL IS TO PROTECT THE FREE FLOW OF WATER.

DUE TO THE EROSION PROBLEM.

AND NOBODY'S DONE LAST YEAR VERY LITTLE.

WELL, IT WAS JUST DONE. I CAN I CAN CERTIFY THAT ON THE RECORD.

WOW. SO HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO LOOK AT IT BEFORE WELL, WE HAVE A CONTRACTOR THAT LOOKS AT IT ONCE A WEEK, SO THERE'S PART OF THE STORM

[00:30:05]

AND THEY ISSUE A REPORT THAT BOTH THE DEVELOPER OR THE OWNER, WHETHER IT'S THE DEVELOPER OR THE BUILDER AND THE CITY RECEIVE A COPY OF AND THEY CERTIFY WHETHER IT'S SATISFACTORY OR IT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. JACK GETS US AND HE LETS US KNOW WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM.

CHAD DOES A VERY GOOD JOB OF COMMUNICATING.

NUMBER EIGHT, I DID NOTICE THEY HAD THE JUTE NET DOWN.

I COULDN'T SEE THE SIGN BETWEEN THEM, BUT SOD DOWN TODAY IT'S IN BETWEEN THE TWO LAYERS BECAUSE THERE'S JUTE NET ON TOP, TOO.

OK. THAT'S WHAT HOLDS THE SOD IN PLACE.

IT'S IT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE DID AT WIDE SET AROUND THE CULVERTS COMING OUT OF THE PARK AND THE SOD WILL EVENTUALLY GROW THROUGH THE JUTE NETTING AND THE JUTE DISSOLVES.

RIGHT. LET'S SEE, NINE IS DONE BECAUSE THEY DO NINE TODAY.

YES, YES, THEY'VE REFILLED IT, COMPACTED IT, AND THEN THERE'S CURELEX BACK ON TOP OF IT.

DOWN AT THE EDGE OF THE CONCRETE CHANNEL? EARLIER TODAY, I DIDN'T SEE THAT.

[INAUDIBLE].

AND THEN NUMBER 10, THAT WAS NOT DONE TODAY, EARLIER WHEN WE WENT OUT THERE.

YEAH, IT'S I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT IN THIS IN THESE AREAS WHERE THE THE NETTING OR THE PILOT CHANNELS ARE BEING UNDERCUT, THOSE ARE AGAIN STORM WATER PREVENTION ISSUES.

SO THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AS RAIN FLOW HAPPENS.

THIS THIS SITE COLLECTS ALL THE WATER FROM KING'S CROSSING TWO AND FOUR AS IT GETS TO THE CREEK. AND SO WE'RE EXPECTING THAT THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND THAT MAINTENANCE IS GOING TO BE ONGOING.

YES. THE ONE THING THAT BOTHERS ME THAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS.

I DON'T FOUR. HOW THICK IS IT? IF IT'S 20 FEET LONG BY EIGHT FEET WIDE BY FOUR, TWENTY FIVE BY EIGHT BY FOUR? MM HMM. SO IT'S JUST CUTTING IT OUT AND THEN, PARDON ME, PROBABLY 3000; RIGHT? AND THEY WOULD THEY WOULD PREMIX IT AND BRING IT OUT AND READY MIX IT.

LIKE THEY DO FOR THE OTHER PIECES, AND BY ALL MEANS, WE'RE HAPPY TO DO IT.

WE WANT TO BE AS ACCOMMODATING AS POSSIBLE.

THIS IS NOT OUR LAST PROJECT IN PARKER.

WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF KINGS CROSSING AND A LOT OF WHITE STONE TO GO.

OUR GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO BE A GOOD PARTNER TO THE CITY.

AND IF GARY AND JOHN TELL US THEY WANT SOMETHING FIXED, WE JUST GO DO IT.

WHAT'S THE RISK OF, I MEAN, I GUESS MY CONCERN IS, WHAT'S THE RISK OF RECOMMENDING SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR APPROVAL WAS THE.

I ASSUME THIS IS GOING TO BE A PLACE THAT IS A CITY AT RISK.

WELL, THE RISK IS IT DOESN'T GET DONE AND WE HAVE TO FIX IT OURSELVES AT SOME POINT, BUT PRESTON'S RIGHT, THERE IS A MAINTENANCE BOND, BUT THOSE ARE HARD TO DEAL WITH.

IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT MAY SOUND, AND WE DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY.

WE'D RATHER HAVE IT FIXED RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING AND THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT, RIGHT? I CAN TELL YOU TWO YEARS ON CONCRETE, IT'S ALMOST MEANINGLESS.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

SO, YEAH, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THAT ITEM FIXED BEFORE WE BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING.

BUT I MEAN, IF WE CAN GET A COMMITMENT FROM ME TO DO THESE THINGS BEFORE MAYBE COUNCIL MEETING.

BUT IF THAT'S TUESDAY, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, BUT WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO IT IN GENERAL.

YOU HAVE YOU HAVE MY COMMITMENT THAT IT WILL HAPPEN.

I JUST CAN'T COMMIT TO IT'LL HAPPEN BY TUESDAY.

SO AS SOON AS I CAN GET AGAIN, THIS IS THE PROJECT PLAGUED BY COVID.

BECAUSE CONTRACTORS GO TO A BIG PROJECT THEY'RE DIFFICULT TO GET TO COME BACK FOR ONE LITTLE THING. BUT I AM ABOUT TO HAVE A CONTRACTOR THAT'S GOING TO BE POURING A LOT OF CONCRETE IN WHITESTONE, THREE, OR SORRY, WHITESTONE FIVE, AS THEY PORE DRAINAGE STRUCTURES. AND SO WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO BE THERE FOR THOSE? THEY'RE FRAMING THEM UP NOW.

SO TOMORROW? IF IT'S NOT SLEETING, YEAH, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TOO COLD TO POUR CONCRETE.

[00:35:06]

IF GARY WANTS IT PULLED OUT, WE'LL PULL IT OUT AND IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN IT.

WHITESTONE THREE AT COUNCIL.

STEVE MADE A COMMITMENT TO FIX SOMETHING AND CAME BACK, WHAT, TWO WEEKS LATER AND TOLD HIM HE DID IT.

YEAH. SO WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT.

WE'D DO THE SAME THING.

WHEN WE GET A COMMITMENT FROM ME [INAUDIBLE], THEY'LL DO WHAT THEY SAID, WHAT THEY THINK THEY CAN DO IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

AND THAT'S A REASONABLE TIME FRAME WITH WHETHER TO GET IT ON SCHEDULE.

AND I THINK SO.

WHAT IS, WHY DO WE NEED I PERSONALLY, I THINK WITH THE DELAYS TO THE PROJECT, THE HOME BUILDER WANTS TO BE KNOWN IN THE HOME. YOU GOT FUTURE HOMEOWNERS IN THE BACK THAT WANT TO KEEP IT GOING.

IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT.

PROBABLY THE DEVELOPERS FAULT MIGHT BE THE CONTRACTORS FAULT.

BUT TWO WEEKS HERE, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A DOUBLE LISTING TARIFF.

THEY'RE GOING TO COUNCILMAN NEXT WEEK.

SO THEN THE WHOLE BUILDING OF THE AND WITHIN 10 DAYS, THAT'S PROBABLY THE BENEFIT OUTWEIGHS THE THE NEGATIVE OF PUNISHING THE DEVELOPER IN THE FUTURE.

WELL, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TELL YOU.

I KNOW WHAT YOU ASK, WHAT.

I TO BUY THE TIME WHEN YOU HAND IT OVER TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT WE CAN SAY IT'S DONE.

THEY TOOK CARE OF IT. HOW ABOUT IF WE YOU GET IT DONE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS OR SOONER AS SOON AS YOU CAN? AND THEN ONCE IT'S DONE, IT'S GOOD TO GO.

OTHERWISE, WE WON'T PERMIT ANYTHING UNTIL IT'S DONE.

I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

I MEAN, ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH ME ACCEPTING THAT DEAL? I MEAN. WE GOT WE HAVE SOME LEVERAGE TO MAKE YOU DO IT.

THAT'S FAIR. WELL, AND REALLY, THAT'S GOOD LEVERAGE BECAUSE NOW I HAVE MY HOMEBUILDER PARTNERS WHO ARE GOING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET IT DONE IF I DON'T GET IT DONE FAST ENOUGH. YEAH.

OK, DUNCAN APPROVED.

YEAH, YEAH. NO, THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS.

PRESTON KNOWS THAT. I KNOW THAT VERY WELL, VERY WELL.

THE CONSTANT MAINTENANCE OF THE SILT AND EVERYTHING.

AND I GET THAT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO SELL HOMES AND HAVE NICE LOTS AND EVERYTHING, YOU'RE I'M GOING TO HAVE IT LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF I COULD JUST GET ALL WASHED OUT.

CORRECT.

ALL THIS BOTHERS ME A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, TWO YEARS, TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD ON [INAUDIBLE] WHEN IT SHOWS.

YOU KNOW, SIX OR EIGHT YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU START SEEING REBAR POKING THROUGH. RUSHING THROUGH [INAUDIBLE].

SURE. WELL, WE'RE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMMIT TO TO PULL THAT SECTION OF CONCRETE RIP RAP OUT AND AND REDO IT AND GARY.

YES, AND ANYTHING THAT GARY HAS FOUND UNSATISFACTORY THAT HAS BEEN DONE, THAT IS ON THIS LIST. LET ME QUALIFY THAT.

OK. SO REALLY, I THINK I THINK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE COMMISSION HERE, I THINK WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL BASED ON BASED ON WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT, GETTING THE CONCRETE REFRESHED, REPLACED AND EVERYTHING AND THEN HOLDING OFF ON THE ISSUANCE OF ANY PERMITS UNTIL THAT, THAT'S A PARTICULAR ITEM THAT WE'RE MOST CONCERNED WITH AT THE MOMENT.

WELL, WE WANT TO GET ANY OF THESE ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE FINISHED ON THIS LIST AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO.

LET IT BE SATISFIED BEFORE BUILDING PERMITS RIGHT. OK.

WELL, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH ALL THE VERBAL AGREEMENTS, AND WE APPROVED THIS TO THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

WE HAVE A MEETING AT THE LATTER PART OF THIS MONTH WRIGHT A REGULAR SCHEDULE MEETING.

NEXT MARCH, 24TH.

I SAY WE WAIT TILL MARCH 24TH TO ENSURE ALL THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED, AND AT THAT TIME, WE WILL CONSIDER IT FOR A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

WE'VE BEEN PASSING ITEMS ALONG FOR RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO SIT DOWN WITH THE STIPULATION BEFORE. YES.

I DON'T SEE ANY OF THESE ANY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.

[00:40:04]

I THINK THE FIRST THING I THINK, I THINK WE CAN PUT ENOUGH OF THE.

IT'S VERY RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL PENDING ARE ALL 10 OF THESE ITEMS SO THAT WHETHER THEY'RE DONE OR NOT, NOW ALL 10 WILL BE DONE.

SURE. AND NO PERMITS WILL BE ISSUED UNTIL ALL 10 ARE DONE.

IT'S A SIMPLER WAY TO DO IT.

AND THAT WAY, WE DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO SORT OUT WHAT IS OK, I HAVE ONE ITEM THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT WAS A DRAINAGE THROUGH THERE.

I DROVE BY THERE YESTERDAY AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WAS COMING FROM WEST OF THERE, OFF YOUR OTHER SUBDIVISION AND FLOWING THROUGH THIS SUBDIVISION.

I MEAN, I THOUGHT ABOUT GOING HOME AND GETTING MY KAYAK AND PRACTICING WHITEWATER RAFTING THROUGH THERE. SO, I MEAN, ARE YOU ALL GOING TO ADDRESS THAT? BECAUSE WE HADN'T HAD THAT MUCH RAIN YESTERDAY.

SO WE WE AGREE WITH YOUR CONCERN.

WE HAVE BROUGHT THE CONCERN UP TO THE CITY.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE NORTH TEXAS LINE IS LEACHING WATER ON THE WEST SIDE OF LEWIS LANE.

THE NORTH TEXAS NORTH TEXAS HAS A VERY LARGE WATER LINE THAT RUNS THROUGH THERE AND BEHIND KING'S CROSSING PHASE ONE.

ABOUT ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, THERE WAS A MASSIVE LEAK BEHIND KING'S CROSSING PHASE ONE IN THE FARMER'S FIELD.

SINCE THAT TIME, THERE HAS BEEN AN ELEVATED VOLUME OF WATER THAT COMES FROM UNDER LEWIS LANE AND TRAVELS ALONG THAT PILOT CHANNEL OUT TO LUCAS.

WE SHARE CONCERN.

BROUGHT THAT UP TO NORTH TEXAS AND IN A YEAR OR DIFFICULTIES].
