[CALL TO ORDER – Roll Call and Determination of a Quorum]

[00:00:06]

I HEREBY CALL THE SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THE CITY OF PARKER TO ORDER. IT IS SEPTEMBER 10, 2026, AT 6:01 PM AND I WILL ASK MS. SCHWEITZER, DID I PRONOUNCE THAT CORRECTLY? YES.

DO I HAVE A QUORUM? YES [INAUDIBLE] OKAY. I WILL NOTE WE DO HAVE A QUORUM.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE? IF NOT, COME ON UP, MISTY. AH, WE GOT TWO. OKAY.

MISTY VENTURA, 9406 BISCAYNE BOULEVARD, DALLAS, TX 75218.

ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNER RESTORE THE GRASSLANDS AND THE APPLICANT OF THE PLAT THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING THIS EVENING, I WOULD REMIND YOU THAT YOU TOOK AN OATH OF OFFICE TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW. STATE LAW CLEARLY SAYS IN SECTION 212.0091 APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF A PLAT. ONE OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS IS THAT YOU INCLUDE A CITATION TO THE LAW FOR EVERY CONDITION OF ANY PLAT APPROVAL AND THAT THOSE CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE ARBITRARY. ON MARCH 10, YOU CONDITIONALLY APPROVED A PLAT IN AN ARBITRARY MANNER ACTING OUTSIDE YOUR SCOPE OF AUTHORITY. BY FAILING TO INCLUDE THE CITATIONS TO LAW AS NECESSITATED BY TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE 2120091, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU HONOR STATE LAW AND UNCONDITIONALLY APPROVE THE PLAT THAT'S BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, AND THAT WAS BEFORE YOU ON MARCH 10TH. TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLAT. WE'VE GOT ENGINEERING TECHNICAL SUPPORT, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS TO THE EXTENT I'M ABLE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. OKAY. MS. MOBIUS.

MY NAME IS CAROLYN MOBIUS. I LIVE AT 1412 PARKVIEW LANE IN MURPHY, TEXAS. AND I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBERED WHO I WAS. SO I JUST WANTED TO SHOW IT TODAY TO LET YOU KNOW THAT ON SEPTEMBER 3RD. WELL, ACTUALLY, SEPTEMBER 2ND, BUDDY HAD RECEIVED A BUNCH OF DISCOVERY FROM THE COUNTY. I OBTAINED THAT INFORMATION ON SEPTEMBER 3RD. IT WAS AMAZING HOW MUCH INFORMATION WAS NOT GIVEN THAT WE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO HAVE BEEN PRODUCED IN THE MUD CONTESTED CASE HEARING.

OUR DISCOVERY IN THAT HEARING, IT'S CONTINUOUS, EVEN THOUGH DEADLINES LIKE MAY 15 WAS A DEADLINE FOR THE RESTORE THE GRASSLANDS AND OTHER PARTIES TO REPLIED TO OUR REQUEST FOR DISCOVERY. I HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO GRASP EVERYTHING CLEARLY ON WHAT I RECEIVED BECAUSE IT WAS OVER LIKE 2000 PAGES. MAN, I WISH Y' ALL HAD THE CLOCK GOING, SO I HAD TO INTERPRET EMAIL. I HAD TO, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET IT IN A FORM WHERE I COULD READ IT.

SAME WITH THE ATTACHMENTS. BUT THERE'S INFORMATION THERE THAT'S REALLY VALUABLE. I BELIEVE A FLOOD STUDY STILL HASN'T BEEN APPROVED AND THAT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE DECEMBER.

THERE'S SOME VERY INTERESTING COMMENTS FROM THE COUNTY'S ENGINEER FIRM THAT THEY HIRED KILLING HORN. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE YOU STILL WONDER WHAT EXACTLY IS BEING PLANNED FOR THAT AREA.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT AGAIN, I WILL SAY AND THE PLANNING, ZONING, SAID PUBLIC SAFETY IS A HUGE ISSUE. AND TO HAVE ONE. I WON'T CUSS LANE SINGLE LANE GOING OUT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT CAN ONLY TURN RIGHT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

AND THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO WILL CHOOSE TO GO PARKER AND NOT PARK BECAUSE WHEN THEY'RE COMING OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC. I KNOW WHAT THAT TRAFFIC'S LIKE IN THE MORNING ON BETSY LANE. IT IS A LOT FASTER TO GO PARKER. SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM STILL AROUND AND I AM BUSILY FILING EXHIBITS AND TRYING TO FIGHT FOR A FAIR DEVELOPMENT AND A SAFE DEVELOPMENT. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? OKAY. NOT HEARING
