          I'M HERE. 
          YOU HAVE QUORUM, SIR. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          SO THIS MORNING WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A, UM, SPECIAL BRIEFING ON LIKE JUST HAVING OUR CASES BRIEF LIKE WE DO AT EVERY MEETING. 
          UM, THE FIRST ITEM IS GOING TO BE A BRIEFING ON DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND ZONING CASE PROCESSING FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS USES. 
          AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SPEAKERS FROM BOTH THE PLANNING AND DEVELOP DEPART DEPARTMENT AND DISD HERE WITH US TODAY. 
          BEFORE WE GET THAT STARTED, I JUST WANTED TO, UM, SAY A, A FEW KICK WORDS. 
          FIRST OFF, I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE VICE CHAIR HERBERT, WHO WAS THE ONE THAT WE SUGGESTED THAT WE DO THIS. 
          UM, SO THANK YOU VICE CHAIR HERBERT. 
          IT WAS A GREAT IDEA. 
          AND, UM, AND YOU KNOW, IT IS, I THINK MUCH, MUCH NEEDED. 
          WE'VE HAD A FEW DISD ZONING CASES COME UP, UM, AND HIT A FEW BUMPS IN THE ROAD, BUT I THINK THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE TO, YOU KNOW, FOR US, ONE, FOR US TO LEARN MORE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, OTHER CITY PROCESSES OUTSIDE OF WHAT HAPPENS HERE AT THE HORSESHOE AND, UM, THE DSDS PROCESSES AS WELL. 
          SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT ROLE WE AS CITY PLAN COMMISSION PLAYS IN ALL OF THAT, AS WELL AS COUNCIL. 
          AND SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THESE PROCESSES RUN AS SMOOTHLY AS AS POSSIBLE GIVEN THE NUMBER OF DS D ZONING CASES THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE IN THE COMING MONTHS, GIVEN THE, THE LARGE BOND THAT DISD PASSED. 
          AND I HOPE THAT THROUGH THE DIALOGUE THAT WE HAVE TODAY, WE CAN, EACH ZONING CASE, YOU KNOW, RISES AND FALLS ON ITS OWN MERITS AND HAS ITS OWN, UM, HAS ITS OWN, UM, EACH, EACH ZONING CASE HAS ITS OWN, YOU KNOW, INTRICACIES THAT IT APPLY. 
          BUT GIVEN THE COMMONALITIES BETWEEN DISD CASE TO DISD CASE, I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN SET UPON SOME INFORMAL SORT OF UNDERSTANDINGS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S, WHAT'S NEEDED IN THESE CASES TO MAKE THEM RUN SMOOTHLY. 
          SO WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, SPENDING MULTIPLE MEETINGS ON A SINGLE DISD UM, CASE. 
          SO WITH THAT, I KNOW, UM, DIRECTOR LOU WANTED TO START OFF WITH SOME BRIEF COMMENTS BEFORE WE TURN TO THE CITY STAFF PRESENTATION. 
          GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. 
          HOW IS EVERYBODY? GOOD. 
          THE WEATHER IS PERFECT. 
          UM, NOT TOO HOT. 
          I HAVE ENOUGH OF THOSE, BUT, UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR RUBIN, UH, FOR THE INTRODUCTION, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, START BY SAYING THAT I'M REALLY SORRY THAT WE, THIS CONVERSATION SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE A FEW MONTHS AGO. 
          JUST LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS GOT STARTED. 
          UH, IN MAY, UH, WE ALL KNOW DSD BOND PASSED AND SOON AFTER THAT, I THINK SOMETIME IN JUNE, WE START TO HAVE CONVERSATION WITH DSD IS 6.2 BILLING DOLLAR BOND. 
          EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL WILL BE TOUCHED SOMEHOW WITH OUR DEPARTMENT. 
          UH, DEFINITELY ALL OF THEM, 230 OF THEM NEED PERMIT. 
          UM, AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, UH, WE HAVE, UH, OVER 20 SCHOOLS NEED BRAND NEW SCHOOL REBUILD. 
          UH, SO THEY NEED EITHER NEED SUP OR UH, PD AMENDMENT AND OVER 80 SCHOOLS 
          [00:05:01]
NEED SOME, SOME TYPE OF ADDITION. 
          THOSE ADDITION AND BRAND NEW SCHOOL NEED, UM, UH, ZONING, ZONING PROCESS. 
          SO I WAS LOOKING AT THAT. 
          I WAS THINKING, WOW, I NEED A LOT MORE STAFF AND CPC PROBABLY NEED TO HAVE A LOT MORE, UM, PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THESE SEPARATE, MAYBE SPECIAL MEETING. 
          BUT HOW CAN WE DO STREAMLINE THAT NOT TOTALLY IMPACT OUR DEPARTMENT, UH, FROM THE STAFFING PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE WE HAVE, WE ARE STAFF YEARLY AVERAGE, RIGHT? WE DON'T STAFF THE PEAK LOAD. 
          WE DON'T STAFF. 
          AND SO AVERAGE. 
          UM, SO WE'VE BEEN BRAINSTORMING INTERNALLY WITH STAFF. 
          UM, THAT IS MY DECISION. 
          UM, I THOUGHT MAYBE JUST BASED ON SOME OF THE EXPERIENCE I HAVE WITH OTHER CITIES LY SCHOOL ARE HANDLED A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. 
          SO I ASKED STAFF TO PICK A PROJECT, UM, LIKE MORE LIKE A PILOT PROJECT, IN THIS CASE IT WAS A SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL, AND SEE IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING MORE STREAMLINED, DO IT DIFFERENT NOW, RETROSPECTIVE, I SHOULD HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH YOU FIRST BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A COMPLICATED ISSUE INVOLVING A LOT MORE WORKLOAD INVOLVING YOU ALL. 
          I SHOULD HAVE COME HERE AND ASKED FOR HELP AT THE VERY BEGINNING, BUT I DIDN'T DO THAT AT FIRST AND THAT'S REALLY MY FAULT. 
          IT WAS MY SUGGESTION TO GO WITH THE PILOT PROJECT TO SEE HOW THIS GOES. 
          PROBABLY JUST VERY, VERY CONCEPT, UH, STAGE. 
          THE REASON I'M THINKING AT THE TIME IS WE HAVE SO MANY SCHOOL COME IN AND THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST STEP FOR WHAT YOU REVIEW. 
          STEP ONE, GOT THE ZONING IN PLACE, AND THEN AFTER THAT, OUR OTHER TEAM NEED TO, UH, TO REVIEW THIS ENGINEERING NEED TO LOOK AT INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          WHEN YOU LOOK AT, UH, YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC, UM, YOU KNOW, WATER, STORM, WATER, UH, PAVEMENT, DRAINAGE, ALL OF THAT IS AFTER YOU REVIEW. 
          AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BUILDING CODE. 
          SO THERE'S ENGINEERING AND BUILDING REVIEW, LIKE BUILDING CODE REVIEW TO SEE WHETHER THEY'RE COMPLIANT WITH THE FIRE CODE, UM, PLUMBING CODE, ELECTRICAL BUILDING CODE, BRING ENERGY, A WHOLE LIST OF REVIEW. 
          ANYTIME THERE'S SOMETHING THERE, THEY HAVE TO MAKE CHANGES. 
          IF WE HAVE A SPECIFIC PLAN IN FRONT OF YOU, THEY HAVE TO COME BACK TO HAVE REVISION BECAUSE STAFF THE PERMITTING, THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DISCRETION, WHATEVER APPROVED BY YOU, THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT. 
          IF THERE'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE BUILDING LITTLE BIT THIS WAY OR THAT WAY DUE TO A WATER SEWER ISSUE, COME BACK. 
          SO THAT'S WHY AT THE TIME I WAS THINKING MAKE IT A HIGH LEVEL CONCEPT PLAN LEVEL. 
          GIVE A LITTLE ROOM IF THE BUILDING SHIFT A LITTLE BIT HERE AND THERE, ENTRANCE SHIFT A LITTLE BIT IS STILL WITHIN THAT PERIMETER. 
          SO OUR PERMITTING PEOPLE DOES NOT HAVE TO SEND IT BACK TO YOU. 
          OR CAN YOU IMAGINE OVER A HUNDRED SCHOOL PROJECT HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY YOU IF SOME OF THEM, EVEN SOME OF THEM COME BACK TO YOU. 
          THAT'S A LOT OF WORK. 
          AND THAT'S ALSO, UH, DEFINITELY DELAY THE PROJECT. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF THE, UH, THOUGHT BEHIND ME AND I WOULD JUST THINKING THAT'S SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WE CAN MAKE THE DECISION OURSELF, BUT WE REALLY SHOULD HAVE DISCUSSED WITH YOU, AT LEAST GIVE YOU A HEADS UP WHERE WE ARE. 
          SO I DO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. 
          AND THAT'S DEFINITELY OVERSIGHT ON MY PART. 
          SO I GAVE STAFF A MARCHING ORDER TO GO AHEAD AND USE SAMUEL AS A, UH, SAMPLE, AS A PILOT PROJECT TO SEE HOW THIS WORK, OR EVEN IF THIS WORKS OR NOT. 
          OBVIOUSLY, UH, WE HAVE SOME ISSUES AT, AT, UH, THE, UH, THE REVIEW, UM, AT THE CPC LEVEL. 
          SO WHAT I'M THINKING NOW IS NEVER TOO LATE TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION, UH, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. 
          SO I'M COMING BACK TO YOU AND ASK YOU HELP AND ASK YOU TO GIVE SOME SALT AND MAYBE HELP US SOLVE THIS ISSUE. 
          A HUNDRED OR WILL BE A HUNDRED PROJECT WILL COME IN FRONT OF STAFF AND YOU FOR ZONING. 
          AND 230 PROJECT WILL COME TO MY PERMITTING SECTION OF OUR DEPARTMENT. 
          YOU KNOW, WE ARE VERY BUSY. 
          UH, LAST YEAR WE ELIMINATED 58 PROJECTIONS. 
          SO WE ARE REALLY, REALLY BARE MINIMUM AND I'M TRYING TO REALLY STREAMLINE THE PROCESS, MAKE IT EASY FOR OUR STAFF AND EVERYONE. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE I AM. 
          I HAVE GOOD INTENTION, BUT OBVIOUSLY, UM, THAT WAS NOT THE BEST SOLUTION. 
          SO, UH, I'M COMING HERE. 
          ASK FOR YOUR HELP. 
          UH, HOPEFULLY YOU WILL HEAR FROM OUR OTHER TEAM MEMBERS, MOSTLY ON THE PERMITTING SIDE, HOW THEY DO THEIR REVIEW AFTER YOU APPROVE 
          [00:10:01]
IT. 
          WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THESE CASES. 
          DEFINITELY YOU ARE NOT THE LAST ONE TO SEE THIS PLAN. 
          THERE'S A LOT OTHER STEP ENGINEERS. 
          NEXT PERMITTING, NEXTS PERMITTED NECKS. 
          AND THEN ALSO, UH, INSPECTION, INSPECTION PHASE AFTER INSPECTION, ALL THESE SATISFACTORY INSPECTION, THEN THEY CAN GET A SEAL. 
          A LOT IS A VERY, UH, LENGTHY PROCESS. 
          I ALSO LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT, UM, OVERVIEW OF OUR DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, THIS, UH, IS KIND OF OUR, UH, ORGANIZATIONAL CHART. 
          UM, I THINK WE'LL DUE BACK TO YOU TO DO A, A NEW, UH, REPORT WITH YOU. 
          UH, WE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT, BUT CURRENTLY OUR DEPARTMENT, UH, HAVE THREE DIFFERENT DIVISIONS. 
          UH, ONE IS ANDREA . 
          YOU ALL KNOW HER. 
          SHE, THIS IS DEFINITELY, UH, PLANNING AND ZONING IS UNDER HER, UH, ANYTHING LONG RANGE PLANNING, HISTORIC PRESERVATION, CONSERVATION, UM, URBAN DESIGNS ALL UNDER HER, UH, AUTHORIZED HEARING. 
          UH, SO SHE HAS A VERY LARGE TEAM. 
          UH, THE SECOND ONE YOU DON'T HEAR VERY MUCH, UM, IS OUR PERMITTING TEAM. 
          UM, THAT'S, UH, DEPUTY DIRECTOR IS SAM . 
          HE ACTUALLY HAVE A MUCH LARGER TEAM THAN ANDRE. 
          ANDRE ALREADY HAVE A BIG TEAM. 
          HE HAS OVER, UM, UH, 150 STAFF UNDER HIM. 
          HE HAS ENGINEERING, ALL PERMITTING RELATED RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL. 
          HE ALSO HAVE ALL THE INSPECTIONS UNDER HIM. 
          IT'S A VERY, YOU DON'T HEAR VERY MUCH ABOUT THAT PART. 
          THAT'S USUALLY HAPPEN AFTER ANDREA'S TEAM HANDLES THE ZONING CASE. 
          I DO HAVE, UM, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, UH, FROM THAT TEAM AND ALSO OUR, UM, SENIOR PROJECT COORDINATOR IS GONNA MAKE A PRESENTATION ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED AFTER THAT. 
          AND THE THIRD DIVISION IS OUR, UH, CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND TEAM ACTION TEAM HAD VERNON YOUNG AND ANYTHING LIKE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE DALLAS. 
          NOW THE NEW PROGRAM IS UNDER, UH, HIM. 
          HE DOES A LOT OF, UH, CONCIERGE SERVICES. 
          LIKE WE WORK CLOSELY WITH SOME OF THE BIG PROJECT LIKE ING CENTER. 
          WE MEET WITH HIM EVERY WEEK. 
          I THINK SCHOOL IS GONNA BE IN THAT DIRECTION. 
          THESE ARE THE LARGE, LARGE PROJECT AND WE NEED TO HAVE ACTUAL, UH, ATTENTION TO MEET WITH THEM REGULARLY. 
          SO EVERYTHING WILL BE ON TRACK. 
          UH, IF NOT, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO IMPACT OUR DEPARTMENT AS WELL. 
          IF ANYTHING, LIKE LITTLE HICCUP HERE, THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT OUR WORKLOAD. 
          SO, AND ALSO ALL THESE BUDGETING, HR AND VERNA YOUNG, UH, FOR PARTICULARLY THIS, UH, PART. 
          UM, SO UNDER THE PERMITTING PART, UM, SAM HAS THREE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AND ONE OF THEM IS HERE WITH THE FRANKLIN. 
          VERN FRANKLIN OVERSEE QUITE A FEW THINGS, ALL RESIDENTIAL RELATED. 
          UH, PERMITTING IS UNDER WILLY. 
          THE ALSO ANOTHER THING IS SCHOOL TEAM. 
          SO WE HAVE A DEDICATED SCHOOL TEAM. 
          WE CURRENTLY HAVE A DEDICATED SCHOOL TEAM. 
          OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT ENOUGH NOW WITH 6.2 BILLION, UH, DOLLAR PROJECT COMING IN THE PIPELINE. 
          UH, HE ALSO HAVE, UH, ENGINEER QUEUE TEAM. 
          SO HE COORDINATING WITH THAT, UM, THAT IS A PART IS NOT VERY WELL, UM, I GUESS, UH, UH, PRESENTED IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          SO TODAY WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PRESENTATION ABOUT THE SCHOOL TEAM, HOW THEY WORK, HOW THEY COORDINATE AFTER YOU ALL APPROVE THAT. 
          UM, SO I, AGAIN, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE, UH, AT THE VERY BEGINNING. 
          I SHOULD HAVE THIS CONVERSATION MUCH SOONER, LIKE A FEW MONTHS AGO, PROBABLY SOMETIME DURING THE SUMMER. 
          AND BRING THAT ISSUE TO YOU. 
          UM, YOU CAN HELP ME SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. 
          I WOULD JUST LIKE EAGER TO GET IT GOING AND WANTED TO HAVE, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, THE STREAMLINE PROCESS SO WE CAN HAVE LESS IMPACT ON OUR STAFF. 
          UH, IT'S VERY, VERY, UM, IF WE JUST FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE, LIKE WHAT WE DID BEFORE, WE PUT UP NEED TO DOUBLE OUR STAFF IN THE ZONING TEAM AND THE SCHOOL TEAM, WHICH JUST DON'T HAVE THAT CAPACITY RIGHT NOW. 
          SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORK WITH YOU TO COME UP WITH SOME CREATIVE SOLUTION TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESS, MAKE IT EASIER TO GET THE PROJECT MOVING AT THE SAME TIME. 
          SATISFY YOUR REQUIREMENT. 
          WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU? IF THE SIDEWALK IS IMPORTANT, WE CAN SAY ALL SIDEWALK HAS TO BE SIX FEET. 
          UH, NO NEGOTIABLE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          IF TREES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU, FENCE ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU. 
          TMTP IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. 
          THOSE ARE THE THING I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU TO SEE. 
          WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME STANDARD CONDITIONS SO THAT WAY IF SOMETHING IS PREDICTABLE FOR THE SCHOOL, IT'S PREDICTABLE FOR STAFF. 
          WE CAN USE AS A TEMPLATE THAT'S A GOAL TO HOW WE CAN STREAMLINE THIS PROCESS TOGETHER. 
          SO WITH THAT, I'M GONNA TURN TO MY DS D-D-I-S-D UH, TEAM TO MAKE, UH, A PRESENTATION ABOUT 
          [00:15:01]
THEIR PROJECT. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU MS. LOU. 
          TWO SECONDS. 
          OH, THAT WASN'T SO BAD. 
          ALRIGHT, THERE WE GO. 
          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. 
          UH, THANK YOU CHAIR, VICE CHAIR FOR CALLING THIS MEETING AND, AND ALLOWING US TO COME HERE. 
          UH, FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW ME, I'M BRENT ALFRED. 
          I'M THE CHIEF CONSTRUCTION OFFICER WITH DALLAS, ISD. 
          I ALSO HAVE WITH ME KATIE LENAHAN. 
          SHE'S MY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OVER DESIGNING CONSTRUCTION. 
          UM, WANT TO ECHO, UM, A LOT OF WHAT EMILY SAID. 
          UM, LIKE I SAID, OUR PROCESS, WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR PREDICTABILITY. 
          UH, WE HAVE A HUGE VOLUME OF WORK AND YOU'LL SEE GOING THROUGH OUR PRESENTATION EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT, UM, AND WHAT WE APPROACH STAFF WITH. 
          AGAIN, THIS WAS NOT TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF, UH, BACKDOOR DEAL. 
          UH, IT'S A NORMAL PROCESS FOR US TO WORK WITH STAFF WITH THE VOLUME WE'RE DOING TO COORDINATE WITH THEM, GO OVER COMMENTS, AND WE DO THAT FOR THE NEXT 12 TO 13 MONTHS WHILE WE GO THROUGH PERMITTING TO ADDRESS DIFFERENT COMMENTS. 
          SO THAT WAS PART OF THE PROCESS. 
          UH, HOPEFULLY I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER NOW TO MS. LENAHAN. 
          I'LL BE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT WE JUST WANNA GIVE YOU A REAL QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE VOLUME AND IMPACTS WE HAVE WITH THE GOAL OF GETTING A PREDICTABLE OUTCOME AT EACH ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS. 
          SO WITH THAT, THANK YOU CHIEF ALFRED. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME OUT HERE AND TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR PROCESS, OUR PROCEDURES AT DISD AND HOW WE ACTUALLY ARRIVED AT THIS POINT WHERE WE'RE TALKING TO YOU TODAY. 
          AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE DISD. 
          WE ARE AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          SO THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE, THE STATE OF TEXAS DELEGATES RESPONSIBILITY TO THE ISDS TO EDUCATE STUDENTS IN DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES. 
          TEA CREATES, UM, SORRY, I NEED TO MOVE SOMETHING ON HERE. 
          I CAN'T QUITE SEE MY NOTES. 
          I APOLOGIZE. 
          UH, TE UH, PROVIDES THE CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS. 
          THEY AUDIT OUR FINANCIAL, UM, OUR FINANCES, OUR TAXES. 
          THEY, THEY GOVERN HOW WE MANAGE OUR DEBT AND WE HANDLE THE DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
           TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          WE ARE THE FASTEST IMPROVING SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE NATION. 
          85. 
          WE HAVE AN 85% ACADEMIC RATING. 
          SO WE ARE ON THE, UH, THAT'S UP SEVERAL POINTS FROM TWO YEARS AGO. 
          WE HAVE ALMOST 130,000 STUDENTS, 28,000 STAFF MEMBERS. 
          WE HAVE ONE OF THE TOP 10 HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE NATION. 
          WE HAVE FOUR DISD HIGH SCHOOLS THAT ARE IN THE TOP 50 HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE NATION. 
          WE HAVE, UM, CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS, AWARD-WINNING STUDENTS. 
          OUR CLASS OF 2026 EARNED MORE THAN $600 MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIPS TO GO ON TO, UM, CONTINUING THEIR EDUCATION. 
          WE ARE THE LARGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE, IN THE UNITED STATES TO USE ALL RENEWABLE ENERGY. 
          AND WE ARE BUILDING AWARD-WINNING SCHOOLS THAT MATCH THE CALIBER OF THE STUDENTS WHO ARE LEARNING INSIDE. 
          WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS GROWTH AND THIS IMPROVEMENT AND OUR MISSION STATEMENT, WHICH IS TO EDUCATE ALL STUDENTS, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS WE REALIZE IS THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO BUILD SCHOOLS TO ENSURE THAT THE FACILITIES DO NOT FALL SHORT AT THE POTENTIAL THE STUDENTS AND STAFF THAT WE'RE TEACHING. 
          SO THAT'S A GOAL. 
          HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THAT? AND WE ACHIEVE THAT THROUGH GOING OUT IN THE 2026 BOND. 
          WE HAVE HAD A CONTINUOUS BOND FOR OVER 20 YEARS IN THAT TIME. 
          WE'VE BUILT A NUMBER OF REPLACEMENT SCHOOLS, SEVERAL NEW SCHOOLS, ALL THIS TO ENHANCE THAT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND IMPROVE THEIR OUTCOME. 
          WE WANNA CONTINUE THAT TRAJECTORY. 
          WE'RE REALLY EXCITED FOR THE POTENTIAL THAT OUR STUDENTS BRING, NOT ONLY TO DALLAS, BUT ALSO TO THE WORLD IN GENERAL. 
          UM, WE STARTED THE BOND 2026 PLANNING. 
          IN 2024. 
          WE HAD OVER 65 MEETINGS. 
          WE HIRE THIRD PARTY CONSULTANTS TO GO OUT AND WALK EACH AND EVERY FACILITY THAT WE HAVE AND TELL US WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO KEEP IT RUNNING AND ALSO HOW WE CAN IMPROVEMENT TO ENHANCE THIS, HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THEM TO ENHANCE THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE. 
          UH, STUDENTS WHEN THEY WALK INTO A FACILITY SHOULD BE CHALLENGED, SHOULD 
          [00:20:01]
BE EXCITED, THEY SHOULD WANNA BE THERE. 
          AND THAT WAS PART OF OUR FACILITY ASSESSMENT IS NOT ONLY IDENTIFYING THE NUTS AND BOLTS THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED, BUT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THOSE FACILITIES TO SUPPORT OUR EDUCATIONAL GOALS AND AGAIN, IMPROVE THAT STUDENT OUTCOME. 
          ON MAY 2ND, 2026, DALLAS VOTERS APPROVED THE LARGEST BOND IN TEXAS EDUCATION BOND IN TEXAS HISTORY OF $6.2 BILLION. 
          WE HAD AN OVERWHELMING SUPPORT OF 74% OF THE VOTERS VOTED IN FAVOR, FAVOR OF OUR BOND. 
          UH, VERY EXCITING TO US. 
          WE ARE THE SECOND LARGEST EDUCATION BOND IN THE NATION EVER. 
          SO, UH, THIS HAS A LOT OF WORK FOR US. 
          WE HAVE OVER 220 FACILITIES AND THAT 2020 BOND SCOPE 2026 BOND SCOPE INCLUDED 26 REPLACEMENT SCHOOLS, MORE THAN 62 ADDITIONS, 137 RENOVATIONS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST 88 ZONING CASES TO COME BEFORE YOU. 
          LOOKING AT THIS, HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THIS? WHERE DO WE GO? HOW DO WE MANAGE THIS PROCESS? SO OUR GOAL IS TO EITHER REPLACE OR IMPROVE A SCHOOL BUILDING. 
          AND FROM THERE THIS IS, UM, WE'RE GOING TO GO IN AND WE NEED TO ESTABLISH A BUDGET, WHICH WE DID WITH THE 2026 BOND. 
          AFTER WE ESTABLISH A BUDGET, WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO CONFIRM THAT WE CAN IN FACT DEVELOP THE LAND AND BUILD THE SCHOOL ON IT OR ADD TO THE SCHOOL. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE WE COME INTO, INTO ZONING. 
          CAN WE DEVELOP THE LAND? AT THAT POINT IN TIME, WE'RE MAYBE 20%, 10 TO 20% INTO OUR DESIGN PROCESS. 
          WE HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF WHERE EVERYTHING'S GOING TO GO. 
          WE DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW IT'S GONNA WORK, AND WE HAVE TO DEVELOP THAT DESIGN FOR SEVERAL MORE MONTHS BEFORE WE CAN TRULY SAY, THIS IS WHERE ALL OF OUR DOORS ARE GONNA GO. 
          THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GONNA LOCATE STUDENTS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEPARTMENTS. 
          SO ONCE WE GET THAT ZONING APPROVAL SAYING YES, IN FACT THAT IS A COMPATIBLE USE FOR THE LAND, THEN WE REALLY GO IN AND WE COMPLETE THE DESIGN OF THAT SCHOOL. 
          AND THAT'S ABOUT THE REST OF THE 80% OF THAT'S REQUIRED FOR DESIGN AFTER THE ZONING APPROVAL. 
          WHEN WE COME HERE, WE'RE LOOKING FOR INFORMATION SAYING THAT YES, YOU CAN DEVELOP THE SITE WE'RE LOOKING FOR WHAT'S YOUR MAXIMUM BUILDING AREA, WHAT ARE THE SETBACKS? HOW MUCH, UM, HOW TALL CAN THE BUILDING BE, THE GENERAL INFORMATION, THE CRITERIA, AND, UM, THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT THAT ARCHITECT NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IN DEVELOPING THEIR DESIGN. 
          ONCE WE COMPLETE THE DESIGN, WE GO IN FOR ENGINEERING AND BUILDING PERMIT REVIEW. 
          NOW, I SAY THAT THAT'S A STEP THAT COMES AT THE END OF DESIGN, BUT YOU'RE GONNA FIND OUT TODAY THAT AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT'S ACTUALLY A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS. 
          AND WE ARE WORKING WITH YOUR, YOUR COLLEAGUES AT THE CITY OF DALLAS THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE MEETING ALL OF THE CODE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE SET FORTH. 
          AND WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MEETING AFTER WE GO AND WE HAVE A BUILDING PERMIT. 
          WE ARE REQUIRED TO GO OUT FOR BIDDING AND PROCUREMENT. 
          EVERYTHING IS A COMPETITIVE PROCESS FOR US. 
          WE ARE A PUBLIC ENTITY LIKE THE CITY OF DALLAS. 
          WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF LAWS THAT, THAT DICTATE HOW WE DO THIS. 
          ONCE WE PROCURE OUR GENERAL CONTRACTORS, WE GO INTO CONSTRUCTION, WHICH IS TO SOME PEOPLE. 
          THE EXCITING PART. 
          DURING CONSTRUCTION, WE HAVE THE CITY STAFF WILL COME OUT AND INSPECT THE WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE APPROVED DOCUMENTS. 
          ONCE ALL THE INSPECTIONS TAKE PLACE, WE GET A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY AND THEN WE GET TO OCCUPY THE BUILDING AND MOVE OUR STUDENTS IN. 
          SO WHEN WE TOOK A LOOK AT OUR SCHEDULE FOR THE 2026 BOND, UH, 220 SCHOOLS, THAT'S A LOT OF WORK. 
          HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THIS? AND THERE ARE A LOT OF CONSIDERATIONS THAT GO INTO THE SCHEDULE. 
          WHERE ARE WE GONNA, DO WE HAVE TO RELOCATE STUDENTS? WHEN IS THIS WORK GONNA TAKE PLACE? WE DON'T NECESSARILY WANNA SATURATE THE MARKET AND OUR STAFF AT CITY REVIEWING ALL OF OUR PERMITS AT THE SAME TIME. 
          SO WE ARE SCHEDULE DRIVEN. 
          THE SCHEDULE FOR THE, UM, REPLACEMENT SCHOOLS IS AS FOLLOWS WITH THE IDEA BEING THAT WE STARTED DESIGN IN 2026 AND OUR GOAL IS TO OPEN THOSE REPLACEMENT SCHOOLS IN EITHER 2029 OR 2030, WHICH IS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. 
          AND WE'VE GIVEN OURSELF, UM, POCKETS OF TIME IN ORDER TO MEET CERTAIN JURISDICTIONAL AGENCY REVIEWS. 
          WE LAUNCHED ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2026. 
          WE HELD OUR BIG EVENT IN SEPTEMBER, 2026. 
          WE INVITED IN 23 COMMUNITIES AND WE HAD DESIGN CHARETTES. 
          THEY CAME BACK 
          [00:25:01]
AS A LARGE DISTRICT AND EVERYBODY MET AND REVIEWED THE DESIGN CHARETTE AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE BIG IDEAS FROM ALL 23 COMMUNITIES. 
          IT WAS A REALLY EXCITING EVENT WE BUSED IN. 
          UM, WE SENT OUT BUSES TO EVERY SCHOOL THAT WE WERE HAVING, BUILDING A REPLACEMENT SCHOOL. 
          BROUGHT 'EM IN FOR HALF THE DAY TO BOOKER T WASHINGTON. 
          AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL ENGAGEMENT PROCESS THAT WE HOPE TO PUBLISH MORE INFORMATION ON FOR YOU. 
          WE'RE LOOKING TO SUBMIT OUR ZONING APPLICATIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER. 
          WE'VE STARTED THE PROCESS ALREADY. 
          THE SITE PLAN REVIEW APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY OF DALLAS. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR ARCHITECTS TO CREATE THOSE SUP APPLICATIONS. 
          RIGHT NOW, WE CANNOT SUBMIT FOR ENGINEERING TO THE CITY OF DALLAS UNTIL WE HAVE APPROVAL BY CITY COUNCIL ON OUR ZONING APPLICATIONS. 
          SO WE HAVE TO CHECK THIS BOX IN ORDER TO GO TO THE NEXT PHASE AND HAVE THAT REVIEW FOR ENGINEERING. 
          WE HOPE THAT WE'RE GONNA SUBMIT OUR ENGINEERING FOR THESE PROJECTS BY MARCH 1ST, 2027. 
          FROM THERE, WE'RE GONNA, THAT'S A, THAT'S A LENGTHIER PROCESS. 
          IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ENGINEERING, THEY'RE LOOKING AT PAVING AND DRAINAGE AND WATER WASTEWATER. 
          SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY CONSIDER AND LOOK AT, THEY WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GRADING OUR SITES. 
          I PROPERLY CREATING FLOODING ISSUES THAT WE'RE NOT TAKING UP TOO MUCH WATER PRESSURE. 
          SO WATER PRESSURE CAN DECREASE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT THEY'RE CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T IMPACT OUR NEIGHBORS. 
          WE WILL SUBMIT FOR THE BUILDING PERMIT AUGUST 1ST, 2027. 
          THEY GO THROUGH, THEY CHECK US FOR BUILDING CODE FOR HEALTH. 
          THERE'S A FINAL ZONING THAT'S, UH, PART OF THAT REVIEW AND THAT'S THE FINAL THING THAT'S REVIEWED BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY ISSUE US A BUILDING PERMIT. 
          UH, FROM THAT POINT, WE ALSO NEGOTIATE THREE-WAY CONTRACTS. 
          ANY WORK THAT WE'RE DOING TO SIDEWALKS IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, THAT'S WHERE THE TRAFFIC SIGNAGE COMES IN. 
          THE FINAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH OUR GENERAL CONTRACTOR. 
          AND THE GOAL IS, THAT'S ALL COMPLETE BY FEBRUARY 1ST, 2028. 
          SO WE CAN BEGIN CONSTRUCTION AND OPEN THOSE SCHOOLS HOPEFULLY IN, UM, STARTING IN AUGUST OF 2029. 
          WE ARE VERY DEDICATED AND COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. 
          WE MEET WITH EVERY COMMUNITY AND ASK THEM WHAT THEIR BIG IDEAS ARE. 
          WE HAD A COMMUNITY MEETING LAST NIGHT. 
          HALF THE PEOPLE AT OUR COMMUNITY MEETING HAD STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL. 
          HALF WERE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          THEY WANTED TO PROVIDE THEIR FEEDBACK. 
          THIS IS PRETTY TYPICAL AT OUR DISD SCHOOLS. 
          WE HAVE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT SIT ON WHAT WE CALL OUR SITE-BASED DECISION MAKING GROUPS, THEIR CONNECTION TO THE OUTSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS. 
          AND THEY WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE STUDENTS AT THAT SCHOOL TO GET THE WORD OUT AND ALSO TO PROVIDE THEIR FEEDBACK IN THAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. 
          AND WITH THOSE BIG IDEAS, WE GET A LOT OF POWERFUL IDEAS. 
          AND I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU ONE QUICK EXAMPLE. 
          THIS IS THE ALBERT C. BLACK STEAM ACADEMY IN OAK CLIFF. 
          THE BIG IDEA THAT CAME OUT OF THAT COMMUNITY MEETING, AND THIS IS A 2020 BOND PROJECT, IS THEY WANTED TO CREATE AT THE FRONT, RIGHT BEHIND THE FLAGPOLE A PUBLIC SPACE THAT COULD BE USED BY THE COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO BY STUDENTS SO THEY CAN LEARN ABOUT ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITIES AND HOW TO DEVELOP BUSINESSES. 
          AND THEY CAME IN, THE COMMUNITY SAID, WE WANNA HAVE A ROUND TABLE SO THAT EVERY STUDENT UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY GET A SEAT AT THAT TABLE AND THERE'S NO ONE AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE. 
          SO THE MESSAGES AND THE THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM THE COMMUNITY PERIOD IS PRETTY PROFOUND AND IT'S HAVING A VERY BIG IMPACT ON OUR STUDENT OUTCOME. 
          WHY ARE WE HERE TODAY? WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO BUILD AN ADDITION OR TO BUILD A REPLACEMENT SCHOOL IN ANY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN DALLAS. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE CITY OF DALLAS IN 1884, DALLAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS WAS ESTABLISHED AT THE TIME WE WERE PART OF THE CITY OF DALLAS. 
          UH, WE, THERE WAS A SPLIT AT SOME POINT THAT I'M NOT IDENTIFYING HERE IN, IN 1929, THE CITY ENACT OR ADOPTED ITS FIRST ZONING ORDINANCE, ITS FIRST CODE FOR ZONING. 
          AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME, SCHOOLS WERE ALLOWED BY WRIGHT 1983, THE CITY AMENDED THAT DEVELOPMENT CODE AND SCHOOLS WERE NO LONGER ALLOWED BY. 
          RIGHT BY THAT POINT IN TIME WE HAD CONSTRUCTED MORE THAN 164 SCHOOLS. 
          SO FROM THEN ON, ANY CHANGE TO THOSE SCHOOLS REQUIRED A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. 
          AND WE HAD TO COME AND WORK WITH CITY STAFF AND THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL. 
          BEFORE WE, UM, TOOK ON ANY WORK AT THOSE CAMPUSES, WE HAD BEEN ASKED TO SUBMIT SUVS AND PLAN 
          [00:30:01]
DEVELOPMENTS TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT. 
          AND TO DATE, WE HAVE MORE THAN 145 PDS AND 30 SUVS. 
          WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR AND WHAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN IS A CONSISTENT LAND USE DEVELOPMENT STANDARD FOR SCHOOLS SO THAT WE CAN HAND THAT OFF TO OUR ARCHITECTS AND OUR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT FIRMS ENSURE THAT CONSISTENCY SO THAT WE CAN BE MORE EFFICIENT IN OUR PROCESS OF BUILDING SCHOOLS. 
          HOW DOES THIS IMPACT DALLAS ISD? AS I SAID, WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO PROVIDE SUVS AND PDS. 
          THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT WE SHOW IN THOSE ZONING APPLICATIONS HAS EVOLVED OVER THE LAST 40, I GUESS IT'S 49 YEARS NOW. 
          UM, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE ARE BEING ASKED TO SHOW CODE REQUIREMENTS ON OUR SITE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS. 
          THOSE CODE REQUIREMENTS ARE LATER CHECKED BY THE CITY'S STAFF DURING THE PERMITTING AND ENGINEERING REVIEWS. 
          THIS IS A LIST OF ALL THE CODES WITH ALL THE INFORMATION THAT THEY'RE CHECKING IN THOSE REVIEWS. 
          AND IT GOES BEYOND BUILDING CODES. 
          IT'S LOOKING AT ENERGY CODES, IT'S LOOKING AT GREEN DEVELOPMENT, IT'S LOOKING AT YOUR ZONING, LANDSCAPING, PAVING AND DRAINAGE, WATER WASTEWATER. 
          IT'S A PRETTY EXHAUSTIVE LIST. 
          THE PROBLEM THAT WE FACE IS THAT, AND, UH, DIRECTOR LOU REFERENCES IS THAT SOMETIMES SOMETHING'S CODIFIED IN A ZONING APPLICATION. 
          WHEN WE'RE 10% COMPLETE, WE'RE COMMITTED TO SOMETHING. 
          AND WHEN THEY GET TO BUILDING PERMIT OR BUILDING ENGINEERING, THEY IDENTIFY A PROBLEM AND WE HAVE TO COME BACK HERE TO CHANGE THAT. 
          THE IMPACTS FOR THAT ARE ON OUR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLANS, OUR PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION ROUTES, ACCESS POINTS, INTERNAL VEHICULAR CIRCULATION DRIVE, LAYOUTS, TRAFFIC SIGNAGE, OUR FIRE LANE LOCATIONS. 
          THESE HAVE ALL BEEN REASONS THAT WE'VE HAD TO COME BACK AND REDO A ZONING APPLICATION OR HAVE A MINOR AMENDMENT ON OUR SITE PLANS. 
          AS WE DEVELOP OUR PROJECTS, WE MIGHT NEED TO SHIFT THE BUILDING LOCATION FOR SOME REASON WHEN WE'RE DOING THE ENGINEERING REVIEWS. 
          OCCASIONALLY, ACTUALLY NOT OCCASIONALLY, PRETTY OFTEN THEY IDENTIFY EASEMENTS THAT MUST BE DEDICATED BY DISD. 
          THAT'S A LENGTHY PROCESS BECAUSE LIKE YOU WE'RE A PUBLIC ENTITY AND WE CAN'T JUST DEDICATE AN EASEMENT. 
          WE HAVE TO HIRE A SURVEYOR TO RECORD IT. 
          WE SUBMIT IT TO THE CITY, WE GET THEIR APPROVAL AND THEN WE SUBMIT IT TO OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR APPROVAL. 
          AND THEN IT COMES BACK TO THE CITY OF DALLAS. 
          THAT'S A SIX MONTH PROCESS. 
          THAT'S DISD. 
          IT TAKES A LONG TIME. 
          A CASE STUDY THAT WE HAVE IS MOLINA HIGH SCHOOL. 
          IT WAS A COMPETITION GYM EDITION ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SCHOOL. 
          DURING THE ENGINEERING REVIEW, UH, THE FIRE LANE CHANGED. 
          WE HAD TO, UM, PROVIDE WHAT THEY CALL A HAMMERHEAD. 
          SO THAT WAS ON THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. 
          WE HAD TO COME BACK AND HAVE A MINOR AMENDMENT FOR THAT. 
          THERE WAS ALSO SOME LANGUAGE THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE CONDITIONS THAT, UH, PROVIDED SOME CONFUSION BECAUSE CITY STAFF IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED IN WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO ON THAT BUILDING PERMIT REVIEW. 
          SO WE HAD TO HAVE OPINIONS FROM CITY STAFF AND COME BACK FOR A MINOR AMENDMENT FOR THE ZONING ON THIS ONE AS WELL. 
          THE IMPACT OF MOLINA HIGH SCHOOL WAS AN ADDITIONAL EIGHT MONTHS FOR THAT ENGINEERING APPROVAL BECAUSE WE HAD TO DEDICATE EASEMENTS THAT CAME OUT OF IT. 
          SO WE WENT FROM AN EIGHT MONTH ENGINEERING REVIEW PERIOD TO A 16 MONTH ENGINEERING REVIEW DURATION WITH A FINANCIAL IMPACT OF A $750,000 CHANGE ORDER TO THE DISTRICT. 
          A SIX MONTH DELAY ON A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS PROJECT. 
          WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BASE COST, WE HAVE INFLATION. 
          WE POTENTIALLY, IF WE DELAY IT SIX MONTHS, WE'RE LOOKING AT $2.5 MILLION IN INFLATION. 
          WE HAVE EXTENDED GENERAL CONDITIONS AND WE HAVE ESCALATIONS ON MATERIAL ESCALATION ON MATERIALS AND LABOR. 
          SO IF WE'RE DELAYED SIX MONTHS ON A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS PROJECTS, THAT'S ANOTHER $4 MILLION THAT COMES OUT OF OUR BUDGET. 
          AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO CUT BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR BUDGETS ARE SET. 
          WHAT DO WE WANT TO ASK HERE TODAY? WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT CONSISTENCY AND FLEXIBILITY THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT THROUGH DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. 
          A DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AGREEMENT FOR DISD 2026 BOND ZONING APPLICATIONS. 
          THE BENEFITS OF THIS ARE SAVING TAXPAYER DOLLARS. 
          UH, IT ALLOWS PROJECTS TO BEGIN SOONER. 
          WE CAN AVOID DELAYS AND THE MONEY SAVED CAN GO TO OTHER PROJECTS OR IT CAN GO BACK INTO THAT CAMPUS TO JUST HAND TO DO MORE SCOPE OF WORK. 
          WE CAN STANDARDIZE PROCESS FOR PUBLIC INPUT AND OVERSIGHT FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS. 
          AND AS ALWAYS, THE SOONER WE GET THESE SCHOOLS READY, THE SOONER WE IMPROVE 
          [00:35:01]
OUR STUDENT OUTCOME. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING STANDARD CONDITIONS WITH AN, UM, POTENTIALLY AN INTAKE FORM TO ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HEARD AT THE CPC ON OCTOBER 8TH. 
          THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOURS OF OPERATION. 
          HOW OLD ARE THE STUDENTS THAT ARE THERE? WHAT TYPE OF ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE? WE WANT SOME FEEDBACK TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION WE CAN STANDARDIZE TO PROVIDE TO YOU ALL SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HOW WE INTEND TO USE THESE FACILITIES. 
          WE'RE ALSO, UM, LOOKING AT THE FINAL APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS FROM CITY STAFF TO MEET THOSE CODES. 
          AND THEN WE'D LIKE TO, UM, AGREE ON A CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN WITH THE LEGAL BOUNDARIES AND THE DIMENSIONS ARE SHOWN, THE SETBACKS, THE INGRESS AND EGRESS POINTS TO PUBLIC STREETS, THE LOCATION OF A BUILDABLE AREA AND THE TOPOGRAPHY AND SPOT ELEVATIONS WITH THE IDEA THAT WE'RE GONNA FINALIZE THAT DESIGN IN COLLABORATION WITH CITY STAFF DURING THE BUILDING AND PERMITTING REVIEW. 
          AND WE WANNA SHARE INFORMATION. 
          WE'RE HERE. 
          AND THE QUESTION THAT WE WANNA ASK YOU TODAY IS WHAT'S YOUR FEEDBACK? HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE THIS GOAL? WE WANNA COLLABORATE, WE WANNA PARTNER. 
          WE'VE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL TO DATE IN DOING THIS WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS AND WE WANNA CONTINUE DOWN THAT PATH. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          ALRIGHT, UM, NEXT SPEAKERS FROM THE CITY. 
          WE'LL SAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE END. 
          SORRY, I'LL GET . 
          IT'S OKAY. 
          GOOD. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          I'M WILLIE FRANKLIN. 
          I SERVE AS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, UH, PRIMARILY OVERSEEING THE SCHOOL TEAM ITSELF, UH, BETTER REFERRED TO AS DEDICATED SCHOOL SERVICES TEAM. 
          SO IF YOU SEE DSST, UM, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE REFERENCING IN THE PRESENTATION. 
          UM, SO THANK YOU FOR ALL DOING WHAT YOU DO. 
          THANK YOU FOR SERVING AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT AND KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT WE DO ON THE PERMITTING SIDE. 
          UM, SO I'M GOING TO DEFER TO SENIOR PROJECT COORDINATOR DION RA, WHO DO MORE OF THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS. 
          AND I'LL BE HERE FOR ANY ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. 
          NOT AS TALL AS GOOD MORNING. 
          UM, MY NAME IS DION RA. 
          I'M THE SENIOR PROJECT COORDINATOR FOR THE SCHOOL TEAM. 
          AND UM, I WANT TO GO OVER WITH YOU ALL WHAT IT TAKES TO PUT A SCHOOL ONCE IT COMES FROM YOU INTO, INTO CONSTRUCTION AND PERMITTING. 
          SO CAN YOU SPEAK UP JUST A LITTLE BIT? YES, I THANK YOU. 
          I CAN . 
          UM, SO THE CITY OF DALLAS SCHOOL TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED IN JULY, 2024 BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF SCHOOLS THAT WE HAD. 
          WE HANDLED BOTH D-I-S-D-R-S-I-D, DUNCANVILLE, ISD, PLANO, ISD, PUBLIC PRIVATE COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, AS WELL AS PRE-K THROUGH EIGHT. 
          SO IT'S NOT JUST ONE. 
          AND WE TREAT EACH SCHOOL WHEN IT COMES TO US WITH THE SAME, THE SMITHS TEST. 
          OKAY? UM, OUR IDEA IS THAT WE HAVE TO, WE SHOULD ENGAGE EARLY WITH OUR SCHOOLS, WITH THE PROJECTS THAT COME IN. 
          UM, BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO MEETING WITH YOU ALL, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT A SCHOOL IS WHAT, WHAT'S BEING DEVELOPED. 
          THAT THERE'S NO MORE SILOS, THAT WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S COMING FROM THE COMMISSION, WHAT'S COMING FROM BUILDING, AND THEN WHAT EVENTUALLY BECOMES FROM THE INSPECTION TEAM. 
          DO I JUST PUSH ENTER? OKAY. 
          SO WE WANT TO ALIGN EVERYTHING FROM THE DISTRICT, THEIR DESIGN TEAMS, AND THE CITY OF DALLAS. 
          AND WE HAVE TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY. 
          THAT IS THE WAY WE BECOME SUCCESSFUL. 
          SO THIS IS AN IDEA, OR THIS IS THE STAFF THAT IT TAKES TO PUT TOGETHER A SCHOOL PROJECT. 
          SO NOT JUST THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, NOT JUST THE DESIGN MANAGERS, THE ARCHITECTS, THE ENGINEERS, BUT THE CITY PROJECT REVIEWERS. 
          IT TAKES EVERY DEPARTMENT IN THIS CITY TO MAKE A SCHOOL HAPPEN BECAUSE OF ITS IMPACT. 
          UX TAKES PUBLIC WORKS, IT TAKES THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, IT TAKES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO IT TAKES EVERY, IT TAKES CITY HALL. 
          SO EVERYONE IS INVOLVED IN MAKING A SCHOOL WORK. 
          OUR STANDARD PROJECT REVIEWS AND OUR STAR PROGRAM. 
          I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE STAR PROGRAM. 
          AND THE STAR PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED 
          [00:40:01]
BECAUSE EVERY SCHOOL OR EVERY DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF DALLAS ACTUALLY HAS TO SUBMIT FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW. 
          IT IS IN CHAPTER 51 AND 52. 
          THAT IS WHERE YOU START. 
          SO IF WE START THERE AND WE HELP DEVELOP THAT SITE, IT ALLOWS THE COLLABORATION FROM BOTH CITY HALL SIDE, THE PERMITTING SIDE AND THE CUSTOMER SIDE TO COME TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GIVE YOU, GIVE THE CITY WHAT THEY NEED, GIVE OUR CITIZENS WHAT THEY NEED, GIVE THE PROJECT WHAT ITS NEEDS AS WE DEVELOP IT GOING FORWARD. 
          SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT HAPPENS DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PART AS THEY'RE DEVELOPING THEIR DESIGNS, AS THEY'RE DEVELOPING THE SITE THAT WE DON'T MISS THOSE THINGS. 
          INFRASTRUCTURES, WE DON'T PUT A BUILDING ON TOP OF CITY INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THERE, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE SITE PLAN CAME FROM, BACK FROM THAT WAS APPROVED, RIGHT? AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO SEND IT BACK TO YOU ALL TO MOVE THAT BUILDING. 
          SO IF WE IDENTIFY THOSE, THAT INFORMATION EARLY, IT PREVENTS THE RETURNS, IT CATCHES EVERYTHING, AND IT GIVES YOU A SOLID IDEA OF WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THAT SITE. 
          I'M JUST GONNA TELL Y'ALL, I'VE NEVER SPOKEN IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE BEFORE, SO I'M VERY NERVOUS. 
          SO PLEASE, PLEASE, UH, YOU'RE DOING VERY WELL. 
          YES. 
          UM, THIS IS SOMETHING I DO EVERY DAY. 
          SO I COULD TALK TO SLIDES OR I CAN TELL YOU WHAT WE DO. 
          OKAY? AND LET ME TELL YOU WHAT WE DO. 
          WE, WE TAKE IN THE SCHOOLS FROM, WE HAVE THE CONVERSATION OF, HEY, WE WANNA BUILD A SCHOOL HERE, WHAT DO WE DO? AND MY TEAM IS TAXED WITH SAYING, WELL, THIS IS WHAT WE DO. 
          YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO GET AN SUP BASED ON WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH OUR ZONING CONSULTATION. 
          YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO GET AN SUP OR A PD AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO, HERE'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE. 
          WE, WE CREATE A CPR AND THAT CPR COMES TO THE CURRENT PLANNING TEAM. 
          THE CURRENT PLANNING TEAM, THEN VETS, IT DECIDES WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE, CONTACTS THE CUSTOMER, THEY CREATE THE Z THE THE, THE THE Z PROJECT, WHICH THEN STARTS WITH YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT? ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE'RE DOING CONSULTATIONS WITH THOSE DIFFERENT PROJECT FOLKS. 
          AND WE'RE TALKING WITH THE ARCHITECT. 
          WE'RE TALKING WITH THE ENGINEERS, WE'RE TALKING WITH THEIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT TEAM. 
          WE'RE TALKING WITH OUR TEAMS FLOODPLAIN. 
          DO YOU KNOW THAT IT TAKES UP TO SIX MONTHS TO GET A, A WATERSHED APPROVAL AND A BACKFILL APPROVAL. 
          THAT'S A LONG TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU FIND OUT AT THE END OF THE PROJECT THAT THAT'S WHAT'S REQUIRED. 
          SO THAT'S A LONG TIME. 
          SO THAT PUTS THAT PAUSE ON THERE JUST LIKE THEY, THAT THEY SPOKE ABOUT. 
          UM, SO AS OUR TEAM DOES THAT, THE IDEA CAME, WHAT HAPPENS AT CURRENT PLANNING? WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY'RE AT CPC? HOW CAN WE INTERPRET ON OUR SIDE THE, THE, THE BUILDING CODE SIDE WITH WHAT'S COMING AND WHAT'S BEING DECIDED HERE? SO THE COLLABORATION STARTED THERE. 
          OUR TEAM STARTED ATTENDING THE MEETINGS, LISTENING TO THE SCHOOLS, LISTENING TO THE CITY SIDE AND SEEING, OKAY, NOW I UNDERSTAND THE INTERPRETATION. 
          I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT WHY THIS IS HERE, BUT THIS IS HOW WE WOULD READ IT ON OUR SIDE, WHICH WOULD THEN CAUSE IT TO COME BACK TO YOU ALL. 
          AND IN FURTHER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, THERE HAD TO BE MORE EXPANSION ON THAT. 
          WELL, BECAUSE A SITE PLAN IS REQUIRED BY CHAPTER 51 AND 52, AND YOU HAVE THE, YOU HAVE THE ZONING CASE, WHICH I CAN SHOW YOU. 
          I SHOULD ADVANCE THE SLIDES, I APOLOGIZE. 
          SO THE STAR PROGRAM BRINGS THAT ALL TOGETHER AND LETS IT RUN SIMULTANEOUSLY. 
          SO WHY THEY ARE BUILDING THE ZONING CASE WITH YOU ALL, THEY ARE DOING THE SITE PLAN WITH US. 
          SO WHEN YOU DO SEE THOSE, UM, WHEN YOU DO GO TO THOSE COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND YOU SEE THOSE WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DESIGNING TOWARDS. 
          THAT IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          THAT IS WHAT WE'RE SAYING, YES, THIS IS A GOOD SPOT FOR THIS BUILDING BECAUSE THERE'S NO INFRASTRUCTURE THERE. 
          THE TRAFFIC FLOW IS GOOD. 
          YOU, YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE POWER LINES THAT ARE GONNA CAUSE AN AERIAL FIRETRUCK TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE PROPERTY, OR HEY, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO EITHER PUT IN THE BUDGET TO HAVE THOSE, THOSE AERIAL UH, POWER LINES BURIED. 
          AND NOW YOU'VE GOTTA ADD THAT COST TO YOUR BUDGET. 
          IF WE LET THAT HAPPEN AHEAD OF TIME, IT PREVENTS THE EXPENSE COMING AT THE END. 
          AND THAT EXPENSE ALSO IS US, THE CITY EMPLOYEES. 
          BECAUSE REMEMBER, WE'RE REVIEWING, WE'RE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE. 
          AND THEN WE FIND OUT AT THE VERY END, OH, THERE IS THIS PROBLEM 
          [00:45:02]
NOW IT'S A HOLD. 
          ALL OF OUR WORK IS IN A, IS IS IN A HOLDING PATTERN. 
          AND OUR JOB IS TO GET THE SCHOOLS OUT TO GET YOU GUYS WHAT YOU NEED AS FAR AS CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF DALLAS AS FAR AS OUR STUDENTS IN THE CITY OF DALLAS. 
          AND THAT'S SOMETIMES DISAPPOINTING. 
          IT'S DEFLATING. 
          AND YOU WONDER WHAT YOU COULD DO BETTER. 
          SO THE STAR PROGRAM ALLOWS US TO DO BETTER. 
          IT BRINGS YOUR, YOUR SIDE AND BY THE COMMISSION SIDE, IT BRINGS THE BUILDING SIDE, IT BRINGS THE CUSTOMER SIDE, IT BRINGS THE COMMUNITY SIDE IN A COLLABORATIVE WAY SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO DEVELOP. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT, UM, DIRECTOR LOU, UM, POINTED OUT A COUPLE OF PROJECT OR SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL, BUT WE DID DO THIS. 
          WE HAVE TESTED THIS OB DION NIGHT IS ONE OF THEM. 
          WE DID A PRELIMINARY TEST BY USING A SERIES OF CONSULTATIONS AND WE'RE ABLE TO DEVELOP OBADIAH IT THAT WAY. 
          WE DID IT WITH ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT AND DID IT. 
          AND WE GOT ALL THREE OF THEIR SCHOOLS OUT. 
          TYPICAL WHEN A SCHOOL CAME IN BEFORE WE DID THIS PROGRAM, BEFORE WE CONCENTRATED AND BEFORE THE SCHOOL TEAM WAS, IT COULD TAKE THREE YEARS FROM THE TIME IT CAME FROM Y'ALL TO THE TIME WE GAVE THEM A PERMIT. 
          WHEN THE SCHOOL TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED, WE HAD 66 OPEN ROLLED PLANS THAT WERE SITTING THERE BECAUSE THEY EITHER HAD TO GET AN AMENDMENT OR OTHER ISSUES. 
          AND THEY WEREN'T ALL JUST THE ISD, WE WERE TAXED WITH GETTING THOSE ALL OUT AND FINDING OUT WHAT THE ISSUES WERE AND MAKING THEM GO FORWARD. 
          THAT'S A LOT SITTING THERE. 
          I SAY THIS AS A, WE ARE PASSIONATE OF THE . 
          I'LL JUST TELL YOU I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT SCHOOLS. 
          I DO GO AND ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS. 
          I WENT TO THE CHARETTE, I SAW THE PRETTY PICTURES. 
          I LISTENED TO THE, TO TO, TO THE PRINCIPALS AND TO THE, TO THE PARENTS. 
          AND I WILL TELL YOU, WE HAVE A BIG JOB IN FRONT OF US. 
          A BIGGER THAN WE THINK, BIGGER THAN A DOLLAR AMOUNT. 
          AND I BELIEVE THAT COLLABORATION IS THE WAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET THERE. 
          SO I DID, I DO HAVE A WAY, IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW, UH, WE DO A STAR PROGRAM. 
          I HAVE THAT FOR YOU. 
          UM, AND IF YOU'LL JUST GIVE ME ONE SECOND TILL, MAY I PASS THESE AROUND, PLEASE. 
          SO WHAT YOU HAVE, WHAT'S BEING PASSED AROUND IS THE SIDE THAT IS WHAT YOU GUYS WILL BE DOING WHILE WE ARE DOING THE REVIEW SIDE. 
          SO THAT, YOU KNOW, IT IS A SERIES OF MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE. 
          AND WE OFTEN GET THIS A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER. 
          AND THAT'S THE IDEA. 
          GIVE US A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER. 
          GIVE US WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE FOR THE SCHOOL AND LET'S WORK ON IT TOGETHER AND DEVELOP IT. 
          SO WHILE THEY'RE DEVELOPING THAT, WE DO HAVE A SENIOR PLANNER ASSIGNED TO THIS PROJECT, TO EVERY ONE OF THESE PROJECTS. 
          THE SENIOR PLANNER WILL ALSO BE OUR ZONING CODE REVIEWER IN THE BUILDING PERMIT SIDE. 
          SO THE CONSISTENCY STARTS THERE IS BLOUSE. 
          THE MAJORITY OF WHAT HAPPENS WITH OUR PROJECTS, IT'S VERY HEAVY ON ENGINEERING AT THE BEGINNING. 
          SO THAT WE'RE MA MAINTAINING INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          WE'RE DOING THE THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHERE WE'RE DEVELOPING WHERE THE FIRE HYDRANTS NEED TO BE. 
          WE'RE DEVELOPING HOW MUCH CONCRETE IS THERE, WHAT, WHERE THE DETENTION POND'S GONNA BE, AND THE ARBORISTS ARE THERE TOO. 
          AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A, A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THIS, ON OUR FIRST MEETING THAT WE HAD ON SAMUEL, WHEN WE ALL SAT THERE AND LOOKED AT THE, AT THE CONCEPTUAL IDEA, WE REALIZED, AND IT WAS OUR SENIOR PLANNER, HE SAID, Y'ALL HAVE TO MOVE THE BUILDING 15 FEET THAT WAY BECAUSE OF WHAT THE REQUIREMENT WAS. 
          SO THE ARCHITECT SAID, OKAY, NOTED THE FIRE REVIEWER SAID, BUT IF YOU DO THAT, THE AERIAL LINES, WE NOW HAVE TO MOVE THAT BECAUSE THE THE AERIAL TRUCK WON'T MOVE IN. 
          OKAY, WELL OUR ARBORIST SAID, WELL NOW WE HAVE OUR TREES IN THE FRONT, SO WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE TREES. 
          SO DO YOU SEE IT'S NOT JUST A I'VE DONE MY REVIEW, THANK YOU. 
          HAVE A GOOD DAY. 
          IT'S, YOU SEE THE CAUSE AND EFFECT HOW EVERYTHING HAPPENS. 
          AND THAT'S WHY THE FLEXIBILITY IS NEEDED FOR OUR SITE PLANS, FOR THE PROJECTS GOING FORWARD. 
          ON 
          [00:50:01]
AVERAGE. 
          NOW WITH THE THREE PROJECTS THAT WE DID FOR ANOTHER DISTRICT, WE WENT FROM IT TAKING 18 MONTHS TO NINE MONTHS BY USING THE STAR PROGRAM OR A HYBRID OF THE STAR PROGRAM. 
          WE DID THE SAME THING WITH OBADIAH KNIGHT. 
          AND WE'RE READY TO GO TO CITY, THEY'RE READY TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL WITH THAT. 
          SO WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE OBADIAH KNIGHT HAS ENTERED IN ITS ENGINEERING, IT'S ON ITS SECOND ROUND OF REVIEWS WAITING FOR THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL SO THAT IT NOW CAN BECOME A BUILDING PROJECT, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT. 
          SO IF WE BRING THE RIGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER TO DELIVER THE RIGHT SCHOOLS AND WE WORK COLLABORATIVELY, WE CAN MAKE OUR SCHOOLS WHAT THEY NEED TO BE. 
          WE CAN MAKE OUR PROJECTS WHAT THEY NEED TO BE. 
          OUR SCHOOLS ARE ALL OVER DALLAS, NOT, AND BE THE BE AN EXAMPLE TO THE NATION OF WHAT'S POSSIBLE WHEN WE COLLABORATE. 
          IT'S IMPORTANT. 
          NEIGHBORHOOD NEIGHBORHOODS ARE ANCHORED BY SCHOOLS. 
          IT IS THE LIFE OF THE SCHOOL. 
          IT BRINGS THE NEW ENERGY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND IT'S IMPORTANT AS STEWARDS THAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE TO DO FROM A CITY SIDE. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR YOUR POSITION IN, IN IT AS WELL. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DISTRICT NEEDS AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR STUDENTS NEED. 
          'CAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN WHO HAVE CHILDREN WHO GO TO SCHOOL AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S NEEDED. 
          HAS A PARENT, HAS A GRANDPARENT AND HAS ASSISTANT OF DALLAS. 
          SO COLLABORATION, FLEXIBILITY IN THE SITE PLAN. 
          CAN WE, YOU KNOW, CAN WE WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH AN I WITH, WITH A PROCESS TO ALLOW FOR THAT FLEXIBILITY? AND BY ALL MEANS, I'LL, I'LL HELP CHAMPION AND, AND, AND, AND WORK WITH YOU ON THAT AND WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN SO THAT WE CAN, WE CAN GET THE PROCESS GOING AND PROVIDE THIS TO EVERY SCHOOL THAT COMES TO THE CITY. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME, . 
          I PREACH ALL OF YOU. 
          AND, UM, TOGETHER WE'RE BUILDING AND PLANNING A BETTER DALLAS FOR EVERYONE. 
          SO IT'S NOT JUST TODAY'S SCHOOL. 
          ANOTHER THING TO UNDERSTAND, ONE OF THE OLDEST SCHOOLS IN DALLAS WILL BE GETTING A-A-A-A-A-A LIFT THIS YEAR. 
          UM, AND I WILL TELL YOU I SAT IN THAT CHAR WITH THAT, WITH THAT PRINCIPLE, AND I HAVE NEVER MET ANYONE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT HE DOES FOR HIS COMMUNITY AND WHAT HE NEEDS FOR HIS COMMUNITY. 
          UM, I'M NOT A CRIER, BUT I WILL TELL YOU I DID CRY AT THE CHARETTE BECAUSE IT, IT'S VERY MOVING. 
          UM, IT'S A MOVING PROCESS EVERY DAY AND I'M, IT'S A MISSION. 
          SO I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ARE THERE ANY OTHER PRESENTATIONS? ARE WE GOOD TO GO INTO OUR DISCUSSION? UM, WHY DON'T WE HAVE, THANK YOU BY THE WAY, FOR OUR FIRST PRESENTATION THAT WAS OUTSTANDING. 
          UM, WHY DON'T WE HAVE THE FOLKS FROM DISD AND THE FOLKS IN THE CITY, UM, COME BACK DOWN FOR, FOR QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION. 
          IS IT, IF IT'S EASIER, ALL Y'ALL CAN JUST SIT. 
          UM, YEAH, . 
          GREAT. 
          UM, FIRST OFF, JUST THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FROM THE CITY AND THANK YOU TO DISD FOR SOME VERY THOROUGH, HELPFUL, AND INTERESTING PRESENTATIONS. 
          I THOUGHT I KNEW A GOOD DEAL ABOUT THIS, BUT I FEEL LIKE I KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS TOPIC ON THE BACKEND HAVING HEARD FROM ALL OF Y'ALL. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR, YOUR TIME TODAY AND YOUR TIME IN PUTTING THOSE, UM, TOGETHER. 
          I, I HAD JUST A COUPLE OF OF INITIAL QUESTIONS. 
          UM, HAVING SAT ON THIS BODY FOR ALMOST SEVEN YEARS NOW, YOU KNOW, IN THE SCHOOL CASES, ONE OF THE MOST, UM, CHALLENGING THINGS THAT WE DEAL WITH OR ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CONCERNS IS, IS TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT. 
          AND I WANTED Y'ALL TO TALK ABOUT, UM, IN YOUR VIEW AT BOTH DISD AND THE CITY IS, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE RIGHT SOLUTION ON THE TMP IS THAT RECOGNIZES THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE COMING TO US WHEN YOU'RE AT 20% DESIGN AND, YOU KNOW, THINGS MAY CHANGE WHEN YOU'LL GET TO 80% DESIGN TO TRY AND, YOU KNOW, AVOID HAVING TO COME BACK FOR A MINOR AMENDMENT OR A FULL BLOWN MOANING AMENDMENT. 
          I MEAN, I THINK YOU GAVE A ZONING AMENDMENT. 
          I THINK YOU GAVE THE GOOD EXAMPLE OF MOLINA WHERE Y'ALL HAD TO COME BACK FOR A MINOR AND THAT 
          [00:55:01]
LED TO SUBSTANTIAL PROJECT DELAYS. 
          UM, BUT SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THE TMP, HOW DO WE GET ASSURANCES ABOUT, UM, TRAFFIC FLOW BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZE THAT OR FIND, FIND A WAY TO NOT HOLD UP PROJECTS BASED ON, YOU KNOW, TMPS AND REDESIGNS. 
          I THINK I'LL START OFF AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO EMILY LU SO YOU CAN HEAR THE CITY SIDE. 
          UM, I THINK WE SHOULD ESTABLISH SOME GOALS UP FRONT. 
          UH, 'CAUSE I'M CONFIDENT WITH ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC, UH, MORE THAN WHAT IT IS TODAY. 
          AND WHETHER WE SET A GOAL, LIKE WE'LL DO A 10% REDUCTION. 
          UH, AN EXAMPLE LIKE SAMUEL RIGHT NOW, ALL THE QN IS IN THE STREET. 
          THE SCHOOL WAS BUILT IN THE 1950S. 
          UH, A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN. 
          UH, AND SINCE, UH, DSD IS NOT ACQUIRING ANY NEW SITES, WE'RE BUILDING BACK ON OUR EXISTING SITES, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THOSE DRIVES IN, SET THE BUILDING BACK. 
          SO I'M, I'M CONFIDENT THAT ON A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THESE CASES, WE ARE IMPROVING THE TRAFFIC BY SOME MEASURABLE PERCENT. 
          AND I THINK WE NEED EARLY COORDINATION ON WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT TO COME UP WITH THOSE GOALS AND GUIDELINES. 
          UH, AND SOME FLEXIBILITY AT THE CPC LEVEL THAT WE DON'T CODIFY LIKE A DRIVE WE CAN'T MOVE OR ADJUST BECAUSE OF AN EASEMENT OR IF WE GET SOME OTHER REQUIREMENTS ON OUR SIDE FOR OUR SPED STUDENTS OR, OR, OR FIRE SAFETY. 
          UH, WE CAN, WE CAN ADJUST, UH, HAVE SOME, SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS THERE. 
          UH, THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION. 
          SOME TYPE OF GOAL AND EARLY COORDINATION WITH THAT INTAKE FORM. 
          UH, BUT I'LL TURN IT OVER AND GET, UH, MS. LU'S THOUGHTS AS WELL. 
          UM, THAT IS ONE THING I KNOW VERY, UM, IMPORTANT TO THE CBC. 
          MAYBE THAT'S COULD BE TRANSLATED INTO A STANDARD CONDITION. 
          LOOK LIKE YOU ARE NOT GOING, YOU'RE IMPROVING, NOT MAKE IT WORSE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING, UH, IT CAN BE ONE OF THE STANDARD LIKE CONDITION THAT THE SCHOOL TEAM CAN WORK WITH OUR ENGINEER. 
          UM, THAT TO ENSURE THERE IS NO, UM, TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING, TRAFFIC THAT'S GONNA GET WORSE AS A RESULT OF NEW SCHOOL OR, UH, THE CHANGES TO THE SCHOOL. 
          I I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING CAN BE IMPLEMENTED AS A STANDARD. 
          SO THEY HAVE A GOAL. 
          UH, THEY, WHEN THEY DO THE TRAFFIC, IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE IMPROVED. 
          LOOK LIKE MOST OF THE PROJECTS GONNA BE IMPROVEMENT, BUT CAN THAT BE SOMETHING, UH, IF THEY DON'T MEET THAT AND THEN THAT WILL BE A, A SUBJECT TO A HIGHER LEVEL REVIEW. 
          AND MAYBE THAT COULD BE A STANDARD IF MEET THE STANDARD. 
          UM, THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, ONE LEVEL. 
          BUT IF THEY DON'T MEET THAT, IF THEY HAVE TO INCREASE OR MAKE THE TRAFFIC WORSE OR IF THERE'S NOT A GOOD TRAFFIC MANAGE PLAN IN PLACE, THEN THAT DEFINITELY NEED TO HAVE A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF REVIEW. 
          BUT IF THEY MEET THAT THRESHOLD, MEET THAT STANDARDS, THAT COULD BE, UH, A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF REVIEW. 
          THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHTS. 
          BUT YOU KNOW, WE ARE HERE TO LISTEN TO YOU TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK, UH, TO HELP, YOU KNOW, SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IS A BIG PROBLEM WE'RE FACING TODAY. 
          UH, ALL THESE SCHOOLS COMING IN. 
          UM, BUT UH, WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU, UH, TO COME WITH SOME SOLUTIONS AND I'LL ADD THAT, YOU KNOW, IT, IT MAY BE BETTER THAT WE COME BACK AFTER THE SCHOOL IS OPEN. 
          I MEAN TO, UH, ASSURE THAT THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN IS WORKING. 
          'CAUSE A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE 10% DESIGN CONCEPTUAL. 
          EVEN WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW UNTIL WE ACTUALLY OPEN THE SCHOOL. 
          OUR STAFFING LEVELS, OUR ENROLLMENT LEVELS CHANGE, UH, SOME TYPE OF MECHANISM MAYBE WHERE WE COME BACK, DO A TEST AND, UH, YOU KNOW, TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT PLAN IN PLACE. 
          UH, RIGHT NOW, LIKE I SAY, IF WE KEEP IT CONCEPTUAL AND UNDERSTAND IT'S DYNAMIC AND MOVE IT THROUGH THE CITY WOULD BE THE IDEAL. 
          I SEE THAT COMMISSIONER REALER HAS HER HAND UP ONLINE. 
          UM, SO I'M, I'M ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS THAT LIVE PRETTY MUCH LIVE AT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. 
          AND SO MY, MY, UM, PORTION TO, UM, THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF, UM, COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO MS. BODY HOW, UM, SOME OF THE, THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE THAT IS ACTUALLY PUT INTO THE CPC CONDITION, I MEAN INTO THE, UM, INTO THE CONDITIONS, UM, TIES YOUR HAND, TIE YOU ALL HAND OVER AT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, AND IS THERE A WAY THAT, UM, YOU ALL CAN CREATE A DATE THAT, UM, IT MIGHT NOT BE ALL, IT WOULDN'T BE ALL THE CPC COMMISSIONERS TOGETHER, BUT TO JUST WALK, YOU ALL 
          [01:00:01]
WALK THE COMMISSIONERS THROUGH SOME OF THE, THE ISSUES THAT YOU ALL ARRI, UH, ARRIVE AT BECAUSE OF THE DECISIONS THAT WE PUT INTO, UM, OUR CONDITIONS. 
          AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION IS, UM, I CAN'T EVEN JUST , I ASKED ONE WHY THE ANSWER THAT, UH, I THINK THERE'S CONDITION IS, THERE'S A GOOD THING ABOUT THAT TOO. 
          IT'S A STANDARDIZED CONDITION IS PREDICTABLE. 
          UM, THAT CONDITION HAS TO BE AGREED BY ALL, LIKE COMMISSIONER AND DSD FOR EXAMPLE, I'M JUST USE SIDEWALK, SIDEWALK CURRENTLY, UM, YOU KNOW, SOMETIME IN NEGOTIATION. 
          BUT YOU CAN ASK A LITTLE BIT ABOVE AND BEYOND SIX FEET INSTEAD OF STANDARD SIDEWALK. 
          IF THEY ALL AGREE. 
          AND THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING IS, IS IS NOT SOMETHING FOR A LENGTH DISCUSSION. 
          HOWEVER, IF THEY DON'T MEET THAT STANDARDS, THEN THE COMMISSION, UH, CAN START TO HAVE A DISCUSSION. 
          SO I THINK THE GOOD THING ABOUT CONDITION, UH, OR STANDARD CONDITION IS THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT'S IN THERE AND THEY SHOULD BE, UH, TRY THEIR BEST TO COMPLY. 
          UH, IF THEY COMPLY, THAT, THAT WILL BE EASY CASE, YOU KNOW, EASY FOR STAFF TO KNOW TO OKAY, THEY COMPLY WITH ALL THE CONDITION THAT YOU WANT AND THEY CAN MEET IF THEY DON'T MEET THE CONDITION. 
          AND THAT'S COULD BE A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF REVIEW. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN THINKING. 
          STAFFING, BRAINSTORM ON THIS. 
          UM, TO STANDARDIZE THE PROCESS, THERE WILL BE SIMPLE CASES, MEET ALL THE CONDITION, NO ISSUE. 
          THERE WILL BE CASES THAT DON'T, DON'T MEET THAT CONDITION AND NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER ACTUAL LAYER OF REVIEW. 
          AND NOW WE'RE HOPING THAT CONDITION WILL HELP ALL THESE CLOSE TO A HUNDRED CASES THAT NEED TO COME IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          DID YOU HAVE A FOLLOW UP DISCUSSION OR QUESTION? COMMISSIONER WHEELER LOOKS LIKE SHE JUST WENT OFF. 
          COMMISSIONER KINGSTON . 
          SO FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU DISD FOR THE BRIEFING. 
          UM, I THINK THAT THE GOAL OF HAVING STANDARDIZED CRITERIA IS IMPORTANT, UM, FROM A FAIRNESS PERSPECTIVE, FROM A TRANSPARENCY PERSPECTIVE, AND FROM A RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE. 
          UM, AND YOU ASKED FOR THINGS THAT WE MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN. 
          GET OUT YOUR PEN, WRITE THESE DOWN. 
          THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT I'M INTERESTED IN SEEING. 
          I WANNA SEE A SITE PLAN, UM, AND A, UH, IN CONDITIONS THAT ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING. 
          I WANNA SEE WHERE THE BUILDINGS ARE GONNA BE LOCATED. 
          I WANNA SEE WHERE THE ATHLETIC FIELDS ARE GONNA BE LOCATED. 
          I WANNA SEE WHERE THE SIDEWALKS ARE GOING TO BE TO ENSURE THAT WE DO HAVE PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES. 
          I WANNA SEE WHERE THE INGRESS AND EGRESS IS GOING TO BE FOR VEHICLES. 
          UM, I WANNA HAVE LIGHTING STANDARDS AND I WANNA HAVE AMPLIFIED SOUND STANDARDS, WHICH IS PROBABLY, UM, TIED INTO HOURS OF OPERATION. 
          I THINK THAT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ATHLETIC FACILITIES. 
          IF THERE ARE SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR A SITE. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH A SITE THAT HAS CREEKS OR DRAINAGE OR PERHAPS IT'S ON A HIGHWAY OR YOU HAVE A SPECIALIZED FACILITY ON THE SITE, I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS WELL, UM, BOTH ON THE SITE PLAN AND IN THE CONDITIONS. 
          UM, I THINK SIGNAGE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. 
          UH, DISD HAS GOTTEN BOLDER AND BOLDER IN ITS VIDEO BOARDS AND THOSE ARE NOT ALWAYS APPROPRIATE NEXT TO SOMEONE'S HOME, UH, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY ARE LIT AND ACTIVATED. 
          SO I THINK WE NEED SIGNAGE STANDARDS THAT DEAL WITH LIGHTING SIZE AND LOCATION, UM, WITH SOME SENSITIVITY TO HOW THEY IMPACT PEOPLE'S HOMES. 
          UM, I, I, I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO GIVE SOME MORE THOUGHT ABOUT TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT. 
          I THINK THE IDEA OF HAVING PERIODIC TMP REPORTING IS A GOOD ONE. 
          ONE, TRAFFIC PATTERNS TEND TO CHANGE HOW WE TRANSPORT OURSELVES, CHANGES, OUR TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS ARE CHANGING FAIRLY RAPIDLY. 
          UM, AND, AND WHILE I HOLD OUT HOPE THAT WE WILL GET PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, UH, THAT'S PROBABLY A PIPE DREAM, BUT MAYBE, AND MAYBE THAT WILL IMPACT HOW SOME OF THESE SCHOOLS FUNCTION. 
          SO I, I THINK INCORPORATING SOME SORT OF PERIODIC MONITORING OF THAT IS A GOOD IDEA AND MAY ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS ON THAT WE HAVE ON THE FRONT END THAT WE CAN KIND OF LOOK AT IT, 
          [01:05:01]
YOU KNOW, MAYBE ON YOUR ONE AND YOUR FOUR OR WHATEVER DOWN THE ROAD. 
          UM, AND I ALSO WANNA GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION. 
          DISD IS THE LARGEST, OR ONE OF THE LARGEST OWNERS OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN OUR CITY. 
          AND I KNOW THAT COMMUNITIES WOULD LIKE TO SEE DISD DO A BETTER JOB AT PRESERVING AND REPURPOSING SOME OF THOSE FACILITIES. 
          THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN MY OLD NEIGHBORHOOD IS A GREAT EXAMPLE, AND THE COMMUNITY LOVES WHAT DISD DID THERE. 
          AND I'M ALREADY GETTING PEOPLE IN THE MOCKINGBIRD COMMUNITY ASKING ME ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN DO THERE. 
          AND, AND YOU ALL KNOW THAT WOODROW AND LONG ARE HISTORIC CAMPUSES THAT THE COMMUNITY LOVES. 
          AND SO THOSE MIGHT BE EXAMPLES WHERE THIS PD, I MEAN, THIS, UH, SUP PROCESS ISN'T IDEAL, UM, THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO HAVE AN ELEVATED REVIEW FOR CAMPUSES THAT HAVE TRUE HISTORIC, UH, ROOTS IN MORE HISTORIC COMMUNITIES. 
          BUT THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF THINGS I'M LOOKING FOR THAT I THINK CAN GIVE YOU THE FLEXIBILITY YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, BUT ALSO GIVES THIS BODY AND THE COMMUNITY AN IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN THEY'RE GETTING A NEW CAMPUS IN TERMS OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE ON THE GROUND AND HOW IN A BASIC WAY, IT WILL FUNCTION. 
          QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM ANY. 
          I MEAN, THIS, YOU, THIS IS NOT, UM, YOU KNOW, YOUR STANDARD BRIEFING. 
          IF YOU DO HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ANY OF OF US AFTER WE SPEAK, YOU KNOW, I WANNA CREATE A DIALOGUE HERE, BUT IF, IF Y'ALL DON'T, I CAN MOVE ON TO NO, I MEAN, IT, IT WAS A LOT. 
          I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK. 
          WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT. 
          LOOK, I MEAN, IT'S ROBUST, SO I, I WANNA MAKE SURE WE TAKE THE TIME TO RESPOND TO IT PROPERLY. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. 
          WE'LL GO DOWN THE LINE. 
          COMMISSIONER HAMPTON. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          UM, I ALSO APPRECIATE STAFF AND DID BEING HERE. 
          UM, I SHARE, UH, MANY OF COMMISSIONER KINGSTON'S COMMENTS, SO I WON'T REITERATE THEM. 
          UM, THE ONE THAT I DO WANNA ADD THOUGH IS LANDSCAPE AND TREE PRESERVATION CONSIDERATION. 
          UM, YOU MENTIONED OBIT, I AND KNIGHT. 
          THAT WAS A HUGE PART OF THE DISCUSSION AND THE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, WHEN WE DID HOLD THAT OUR, UM, SORT OF COMMISSIONER CITY COMMUNITY MEETING SIDE, UM, I KNOW DI STATE HAS A ROBUST PROCESS AS THEY TRY TO DO THEIR OUTREACH. 
          UM, BUT I CAN SPEAK FOR MY OWN SELF, BOTH FROM MY DISTRICT AND FROM A RESIDENT STANDPOINT. 
          YOU KNOW, I HAVE VERY ACTIVE FOLKS IN MY COMMUNITY AND I DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL. 
          SO I THINK HAVING THAT DIALOGUE IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TOGETHER TO HELP SUPPORT, UM, THAT OUTREACH INITIATIVE. 
          UM, I ALSO JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT AS YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THIS, I THINK OBIDE AND SAMUEL ARE A PERFECT KIND OF CASE STUDY ABOUT MAYBE WE SWUNG TOO FAR THE OTHER WAY IN TRYING TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESS. 
          UM, THERE'S, I THINK A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT COMMISSIONER KINGSTON MENTIONED IN THE OBIT SITE PLAN. 
          MAYBE YOU PULL IT BACK A LITTLE BIT TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DIAGRAMMATIC, BUT IT SHOWS WHERE THE BUILDING IS. 
          IT SHOWS WHERE THE PARKING IS, IT TALKS ABOUT, OR YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE HOW IT RELATES TO THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS. 
          THAT WAS A COMMUNITY COMMENT, HEY, WE HAVE SOME STACKING ISSUES. 
          WE HAVE FOLKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO GET CAUGHT UP IN THE SCHOOL QUEUES. 
          HOW DO WE MAKE SURE WE PRESERVE THAT? AND IT RESPONDS TO ITS SURROUNDING STREET GRID. 
          SO THAT KIND OF LEVEL OF INFORMATION, I THINK IS WHAT'S HELPFUL BOTH FOR THE COMMISSIONERS AND FOR THE COMMUNITY AND FOR STAFF, I WOULD THINK AS, AS YOU GUYS ARE EVALUATING THE PROGRAMS, BUT BUILDING IN SOME FLEXIBILITY, COMPLETELY GET THAT. 
          I THINK THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IS, UM, I THINK FENCES GOT MENTIONED, OR IF THEY DIDN'T, I THINK THEY'RE HELPFUL. 
          UM, BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS CAME OUT OF A RECENT CASE IN MY DISTRICT WHERE THIS IDEA OF THE OTHER SCHOOL THAT YOU SHOWED WHERE THERE WAS A COMMUNITY GATHERING AREA AT THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, WE NEED SAFETY, WE NEED SECURITY. 
          THAT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE, UM, YOU KNOW, TOP OF MIND. 
          BUT I ALSO THINK THAT HISTORICALLY WE'VE HAD SCHOOLS THAT HAVE SERVED AS COMMUNITY GATHERING AREAS. 
          AND SO HAVING THOSE UNDERSTOOD IF THEY'RE INTENDED TO BE PART OF THE PLAN WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE PART OF THE CONVERSATION. 
          AND AGAIN, I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS A BALANCE WITH THESE THINGS, BUT THOSE WOULD BE THE TYPE OF THINGS IN THINKING ABOUT THE SITE. 
          ALSO STRONGLY WANNA AGREE WITH THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          THAT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LARGEST, UM, COMMENTS THAT I HAVE HEARD IN MY TIME ON PLAN 
          [01:10:01]
COMMISSION FROM COMMUNITIES. 
          SO I THINK THOSE DO NEED TO BE A CORE PART OF THE PROCESS. 
          AND HAVING THIS IDEA OF WHETHER THEY COME BACK. 
          I KNOW THERE'S SOME STANDARDS THAT HAVE BEEN EVALUATED OVER, UM, TIME, AND SO, BUT I THINK THAT CONSISTENCY IS GREAT AND I FULLY SUPPORT YOU ALL. 
          CONSISTENCY FOR DSD, FOR STAFF, FOR COMMUNITY ARE REALLY WHAT I THINK WOULD BENEFIT EVERYONE IN THE PR PROCESS. 
          BUT AGAIN, APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING HERE. 
          IT WAS HELPFUL TO, UM, SEE THIS INFORMATION PRESENTED. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          COMMISSIONER COX. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          EXCUSE ME. 
          UM, I, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE OBSERVATIONS HERE ABOUT, UM, COLLABORATION. 
          I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. 
          I, I HAD OCCASION EARLIER THIS YEAR. 
          MR. COX, CAN YOU MOVE A LITTLE CLOSER TO YOUR MICROPHONE? SURE. 
          I'VE NEVER BEEN ACCUSED OF NOT BEING HEARD. 
          SO , JUST TO, TO SPEAK TO THE COLLABORATION, I THINK THAT'S REALLY THE KEY. 
          WE HAD A CASE, UH, IT HAPPENED TO BE RSD, UH, WESTWOOD, UH, MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND I THOUGHT IT WENT EXTREMELY WELL. 
          NOW, GRANTED, I JOINED THE PROCESS PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE GAME, UH, BUT I FOUND THAT COLLABORATION WAS ABSOLUTELY KEY. 
          THE DISTRICT WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING. 
          UH, THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHEN THEY HAD A VOICE AND WERE HEARD, THEY WERE VERY ACCOMMODATING. 
          UH, I THINK STAFF DID A GREAT JOB OF, OF BEING THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM TO BE THERE. 
          UH, SO I WOULD, I WOULD TRULY EMPHASIZE THAT. 
          ONE QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU, YOU MENTIONED, UH, FOR DISD THAT YOU HAVE 20 SOMETHING SCHOOLS THAT ARE BEING REBUILT. 
          ARE THE NAMES AND LOCATIONS OF THOSE SCHOOLS AVAILABLE ON YOUR WEBSITE? UM, YES. 
          THEY, THEY ARE ALL ON OUR WEBSITE. 
          UM, ALSO THERE'S A SIGN IN FRONT OF EACH SCHOOL. 
          WHEN WE WERE CAMPAIGNING FOR THE BOND, WE KIND OF POSTED A SIGN THAT, UH, THIS IS THE NEW SCHOOL COMING. 
          OKAY. 
          I ASKED BECAUSE MY DISTRICT ACTUALLY HAS BOTH RICHARDSON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND DISD. 
          UH, SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE DISD SCHOOLS ARE. 
          YEAH, I CAN SEND YOU A PARTICULAR LIST. 
          I YOUR DISTRICT 1111, I THINK I HAVE ONE. 
          BEN FRANKLIN, MAYBE YOURS. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH, BEN FRANKLIN IS DISTRICT 11 WOULD BE REVEALED. 
          OKAY. 
          I'LL, I'LL, I'LL LOOK AT THAT. 
          AND, AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AS A COMMISSIONER, I WOULD APPRECIATE, UH, AS MUCH INTERACTION WITH YOU EARLY ON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE PIKE, AND THINGS THAT I NEED TO CONSIDER. 
          AND I CAN CERTAINLY, I'M, I'M PROBABLY ONE OF THE, UH, THE LEAST EXPERIENCED ON THE, ON THE COMMISSION HERE WITH RESPECT TO SCHOOLS, BUT CERTAINLY HAVE SOME, SOME KNOWLEDGE HERE THAT I CAN, UH, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. 
          SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT COLLABORATION AS WELL. 
          YEAH, WE'RE CURRENTLY, UH, PLANNING OUR NEXT ROUND OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS IN NOVEMBER, SO FRANKLIN SHOULD BE IN THERE, MOCKINGBIRD. 
          ALL THE REST SHOULD BE IN THERE. 
          UM, I BELIEVE I HAVE EACH OF YOU, YOUR EMAILS. 
          I'LL GIVE IT TO OUR COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT SO YOU'LL KNOW THAT IT, IT'S, UH, POSTED. 
          OUR, OUR TRUSTEES ALSO SENT OUT A LOT OF COMMUNICATIONS POSTED ON THEIR FACEBOOK, SO I'LL GET YOU ON THEIR DISTRIBUTION LIST AS WELL. 
          AND SO WE CAN, WE CAN COLLABORATE A LITTLE CLOSER. 
          SO, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU CHAIR. 
          UH, WE'LL GO TO COMMISSIONER SIMS. AND COMMISSIONER KAUFMAN. 
          ALRIGHT, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          UM, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION AND ESPECIALLY THE, THE PASSION AROUND THE STAR PROGRAM AND GETTING THINGS MOVING. 
          AND SO I, I WONDER DIRECTOR LOU, AND, UH, AS WE, AS WE, IT STRIKES ME THAT WE MAY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EVEN THINK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT OUR PROCESS, RIGHT? BECAUSE IF, IF CONSIDERATION BY THIS BODY IS A GATE THAT HAS TO BE CLEARED, CAN WE STILL DO SOME WORK AHEAD OF TIME TO ADDRESS PERHAPS SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT COMMISSIONER KINGSTON RAISED COMMISSIONER HAMPTON RAISED, RECOGNIZE IT MAY HAVE BE TWEAKED A LITTLE BIT, BUT MAYBE TREAT PERHAPS HIS BODY, NOT SO MUCH AS A GATE EARLY ON TO SAY WE CAN'T START THE STAR PROCESS RUNNING ALONG BEFORE IT COMES TO US. 
          BECAUSE, 'CAUSE I, I'M, I KNOW COMMISSIONER KINGSTON IS CONFIDENCE CONCERNED ABOUT WHERE THE BUILDING IS, BUT I SUSPECT THAT COMMISSIONER KINGS WOULDN'T SAY YOU CAN'T MOVE IT FIVE FEET IF YOU WANT TO, RIGHT? SO I THINK THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE TENSION THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE IS, UH, IS THERE MORE THAT STAFF CAN DO AHEAD OF TIME? RECOGNIZE IT MAY GET TWEAKED A LITTLE BIT HERE, BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT A GATING MECHANISM. 
          THEN THE, THE SECOND ONE I HAVE JUST A QUESTION OF, IF WE ARE TO COME UP WITH STANDARDS FOR THESE DEVELOPMENTS, HOW DOES THAT PROCESS WORK? I'M JUST, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT PROCEDURALLY DOES THAT COME TO US AND WE PASS A STANDARD OR WE SEE THEM AS ONE OFFS? ONE OFFICER, WE THOUGHT THAT THROUGH YET I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY, UM, MAKE THE CASE GO LOOK FASTER IF THE STANDARD WE GOT BETTER WAY. 
          WE GOT VERY GOOD, UM, FEEDBACK TODAY. 
          YOU KNOW, UH, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT FEEDBACK EARLIER. 
          AS I SAID, SHOULD HAVE COME HERE EARLIER. 
          ALL OF THOSE THAT THE LIST THAT YOU, YOU CONCERNED ABOUT, UH, WE CAN HAVE SOME STANDARD DEVELOP. 
          THOSE ARE THE STANDARD YOU AGREE UPON. 
          IF THEY MEET THE STANDARD, WE CAN JUST SAY, THIS CASE 
          [01:15:01]
IS MEET ALL THE STANDARDS, UNDERSTAND SOME HIGH SCHOOL, WE HAVE MORE CHALLENGES. 
          BUT IF THEY DON'T, AND THEN STAFF, UH, IN THE REPORT AND CAN SAY THIS, THEY DO NOT MEET LIKE STANDARD SIX FEE SET WALK. 
          THEY ONLY WANNA OFFER FOUR. 
          I HOPE YOU ARE NOT OFFERING FOUR, BUT THOSE ARE WHAT YOU'LL HAVE MORE OF YOUR ATTENTION OR UH, PMTI THINK THAT WOULD JUST MAKE IT EASIER TO STANDARDIZE THE PROCESS. 
          IF ALL THEY MEET ALL THE BOX THAT ALL THE STANDARD YOU WANTED, IT'S PROBABLY A QUICKER PROCESS. 
          SO FOR PROCEDURE STAND STANDPOINT DIRECTLY, PERHAPS YOU'LL BRING BACK TO US A LIST OF STANDARDS THAT WE MAY CONSIDER THAT. 
          YES, I THINK THIS IS GOOD FEEDBACK. 
          WE'LL GO BACK TO DEVELOP SOME OF THE STANDARD WITH DSA, ASSUMING THEY APPROVED AND ONE OF THE STANDARD, I HEARD A LOT THING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK IS VERY IMPORTANT. 
          ONE OF THE STANDARD COULD SAY YOU HAVE TO HOLD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AS ONE. 
          HAVE YOU HOLD ONE OF HER MEETING? WHAT ARE THE COMMENTS? MAYBE A MEETING SUMMARY SO YOU CAN ALL SHARE THAT WITH YOU. 
          ALL OF THAT COULD BE STANDARDIZED. 
          MAKE IT MUCH EASIER. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. 
          COMMISSIONER KAUFMAN AND COMMISSIONER SERATO. 
          UH, I'D LIKE TO KIND OF FOLLOW UP ON SOME OF THIS TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM STUFF. 
          YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU'VE MADE OVER THE YEARS, PARTICULARLY AT BEN FRANKLIN WHERE YOU TOOK YOUR TRAFFIC OFF AND PUT THE ONSITE, UH, YOU WELL TRA CONCRETE PARKING AREAS AND, AND CARPOOLING AREAS AND SO FORTH. 
          BUT YOU GOT SOME PROBLEMS STILL WITH, UH, SCHOOLS LIKE, UM, UH, DELEY PRESTON HOLLOW, JOHN JAY PERSHING AND SO FORTH THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY AS LANDLOCKED, BUT YOU'RE NOT REALLY UTILIZING SOME OF THE REST OF YOUR PROPERTY. 
          THAT IS NICE GREEN GRASS AND THAT'S GREAT, BUT YOU'RE NOT TAKING ENOUGH OF THE TRAFFIC OUTTA THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND ONTO THE SITE. 
          AND OF COURSE, BETWEEN FRANKLIN AND HILLCREST, YOU'VE GOT THAT ONE WAY STREET AND I THINK THERE COULD SEE BE SOME BETTER UTILIZATION OF THAT AREA BECAUSE YOU DID LOSE SOME OF THE PARKING FROM THE WATER SYSTEM ON, ON ABERDEEN. 
          BUT ON DELEY, YOU'VE GOT THAT WHOLE FRONT AREA OF THAT SCHOOL WHERE YOU COULD PUT IN A LONG UH, DRIVE THAT COMES IN AT ONE END AND GOES OUT AT THE OTHER END AND WOULD TAKE SOME OF THAT OUT OF THE COMMUNITY AND OFF OF ROYAL LANE WHERE YOU JAM UP THE PROP, THE TRAFFIC EVERY DAY, MORNING AND EVENING. 
          SAME WAY WITH PERSHING. 
          PERSHING'S GOT NOT AS MUCH AREA FOR YOU TO COME IN AND DO THE, UH, THE UH, IN AND OUT INGRESS EGRESS ON THE VERY FRONT OF THE SCHOOL. 
          BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO PUT IT. 
          SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT SOMEWHERE THERE. 
          SO I THINK IF YOU WORK BETTER WITH UTILIZING SOME OF YOUR OPEN SPACE TO TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THAT TRAFFIC, THAT REALLY DOES FLOW OVER INTO AREAS THAT IT BECOMES MORE COMPLICATED. 
          I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT. 
          BUT YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT DIFFICULTIES. 
          'CAUSE EVERY SCHOOL IS SO DIFFERENT AND YOUR, YOUR LOTS AND YOUR LAND USED TO IS A LOT DIFFERENT. 
          BUT, UM, I THINK YOU'RE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP, I'D LIKE TO DO THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER SERATO. 
          UM, YEAH, I GUESS I JUST WANT, I, I WAS HOPING TODAY WOULD GIVE US A MORE FIRM UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE EXPECTED TO LOOK AT, RIGHT? LIKE WHAT, AND I KNOW PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT MINIMUM STANDARDS, WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE, BUT I, LIKE, I, I, AGAIN, I THINK THERE'S A HAPPY MEDIUM BETWEEN WHAT WE FIRST RECEIVED FROM SAMUEL VERSUS WHAT WE SEE NOW OR AN EVEN MORE DETAIL PLAN THAN THAT. 
          I DON'T, YOU KNOW, I DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO SEE WHERE PARK BENCHES ARE AND YOU KNOW, LIKE I I, THERE'S BIG IDEAS THAT I THINK WE'RE MISSING FROM THAT FIRST SAMUEL SITE PLAN THAT WE RECEIVED. 
          UM, SO I, I WAS HOPING TODAY THAT WE CAN, LIKE, THIS IS THE MINIMUM. 
          LIKE THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO SEE. 
          HERE'S THE LIST. 
          LIKE THAT'S WHAT I, I WANNA BE ABLE TO WALK AWAY WITH TODAY. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S BEING DETERMINED TODAY. 
          UM, 'CAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE LIST OF, UH, D-I-A-S-D SCHOOLS AND, UM, TRYING TO LIKE RAPID FIRE GO THROUGH THEM REAL QUICK IN MY MIND, LIKE WHERE THEY ARE. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, LIKE I, I DON'T, I HATE THAT SAMUEL WAS, I'VE BECOME THE LADY THAT DOESN'T WANT SAMUEL TO BE BUILT. 
          UM, BUT I MEAN, I, I HOPE EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS THIS IS NOT THE CASE. 
          LIKE, UM, BUT LIKE WHAT, WHAT'S THE MINIMUM STANDARD? LIKE WHEN I RECEIVE, YOU KNOW, A CASE FROM DASD IN THE NEXT YEAR, AT MINIMUM I NEED TO SEE THESE 10 THINGS OR EIGHT THINGS OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT WE COME UP WITH. 
          LIKE, THAT'S WHAT I WAS HOPING TO WALK AWAY WITH TODAY. 
          I WAS WAITING, I I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR PRESENTATIONS, BUT I WAS WAITING FOR THAT. 
          LIKE, I WAS WAITING FOR THAT. 
          LIKE, NO, AND I KNOW WE CAN'T HAVE LIKE A COOKIE CUTTER LIKE WAY OF LOOKING AT THESE SCHOOLS 'CAUSE THEY'RE ALL VERY DIFFERENT AND THEY ALL HAVE VERY DIFFERENT NEEDS, BUT LIKE, CAN WE HAVE LIKE A MINIMUM LIKE OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO SEE? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE BECAUSE THAT, THAT, THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL MORNING TODAY. 
          I DUNNO IF THAT'S HAPPENING. 
          I THINK, LET ME JUST SPEAK TO SORT OF 
          [01:20:01]
MY INTENT IN, IN REQUESTING THIS BRIEFING AND DIALOGUE. 
          I THINK THAT'S DEFINITELY WHAT WE'RE ON THE ROAD TO. 
          UM, BUT I THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THERE TO BE A DEDICATED FORUM FOR US TO PROVIDE OUR INPUT TO DISD AND CITY STAFF AND FOR THEM TO TAKE IT AND FOLLOW UP AND ASK QUESTIONS. 
          I DON'T WANT THEM TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE TO SHOOT FROM THE HIP HERE ON STANDARDS. 
          I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO GO AND SHARPEN THEIR PENCILS AND TAKE ALL OF OUR FEEDBACK AND IT'LL BE TAKING THIS INTO ACCOUNT. 
          BUT I WOULD LOVE IT IF WE COULD COME TO THAT TODAY. 
          BUT I THINK TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE ON THE DISD SIDE AND EVERYONE ON THE CITY SIDE, YOU KNOW, CAN FULLY DIGEST ALL OF OUR FEEDBACK THAT, YOU KNOW, THOSE ROUGH STANDARDS WILL PROBABLY BE, YOU KNOW, IN THE WORKS AND, AND COMING IS. 
          BUT I, I DEFER TO YES. 
          D YES, THANK YOU CHAIR. 
          UM, YEAH, I'LL TRY TO JUMP IN. 
          YOU, YOU SAW IN THE SAMUEL, UH, AND LIKE IT EVOLVED, I THINK ONE OF THE COMMISSION EARLIER SAID BETWEEN OBIA KNIGHT AND SAMUEL, WE SAW, YOU KNOW, WE WENT TOO FAR ONE WAY AND WE'VE EVOLVED IT. 
          WE ARE TRYING, SAMUEL'S IS KIND OF A TEMPLATE OF WHERE WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE LAST BOND. 
          WE DID 16 OF THESE NEW SCHOOLS. 
          SO WE STARTED TO SEE INTERNALLY PATTERNS, BUT WE WERE SEEING DISCREPANCIES. 
          SO WE WENT ONE WAY WITH SAMUEL, UH, WHICH WILL BE OUR ONLY HIGH SCHOOL. 
          THAT'S WHERE WE DEAL WITH THE LIGHTING STANDARDS. 
          UH, THE REST ARE ELEMENTARIES. 
          BUT, UH, THE THINGS I NOTED WITH COMMISSIONER KINGSTON, LIKE WE'RE SHOWING THE LOCATION, WE'RE SHOWING WHERE ATHLETICS ARE. 
          UH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SIDEWALKS, THE EGRESS, UH, POINTS, THE LIGHT STANDARDS. 
          UH, WE DON'T HAVE SOUND STANDARDS THAT SHE MENTIONED IN THERE, UH, WHICH IS WHY I WANTED TO COME BACK TO HER ON THAT. 
          AND THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PART IS A DIFFERENT PART OF THE CONVERSATION. 
          BUT YEAH, WE, WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT BEING VERY CLOSE TO WHAT YOU WOULD SEE BECAUSE FOR US IT IS A ELEMENTARY EACH TIME EITHER I GOT FOUR ACRES, YOU KNOW, FIVE ACRES SITES SOMETIME, UH, THE CONDITIONS, UH, WOULD PRETTY MUCH BE STANDARD EXCEPT FOR WHEN WE GO TO OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS, WHICH, LIKE I SAID, OUR HIGH SCHOOL AND SAMUEL IS OUR ONLY HIGH SCHOOL. 
          WE HAVE TWO MIDDLE SCHOOLS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE LIGHTING STANDARDS ON THOSE MEANING STADIUM LIGHTS. 
          SO I HOPE THAT GAVE YOU SOME CLARITY. 
          UH, OR MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A LEGAL QUESTION OF WHAT, WHAT'S REQUIRED WHEN WE SUBMIT A PLAN OR, OR THE STAFF MAY HAVE SOME IDEAS. 
          I VICE CHAIR HERBERT, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          IT WAS, UM, A LOT OF INFORMATION AND IT DID GIVE US, ME ESPECIALLY A PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT HAS TO GO THROUGH AND WHAT'S SEEN. 
          UM, YOU GUYS KNOW THE, HISTORICALLY, AS YOU'VE HEARD, WE'VE HAD ISSUES MAINLY IN MY AREA WITH THE TRANSPORTATION ASPECT OF OUR SCHOOLS. 
          A LOT OF THE NEW SCHOOLS HAVE BUILT IN PARAMETERS AROUND THAT. 
          GETTING THAT STREAMLINED I THINK IN PAPER OR IN DOCUMENTATION WILL BE HELPFUL. 
          UM, FROM THE STAFF SIDE. 
          I THINK FOR ME, I, I, I'M A ORGANIZER, RIGHT? SO ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT IS WHERE I COME FROM. 
          SEEING THIS IN THE SOP FORM COULD HELP ME CLEAN IT UP, FIX IT UP, SAY WHAT WE NEED, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO IF I CAN GET A SOP OR STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR OUR SCHOOLS AND WHAT YOU GUYS DO, THEN I CAN INPUT TO WHERE OUR TEAMS OR WE CAN STEP IN OR WHERE WE NEED TO COME IN. 
          SO THAT'S MY ONLY, UM, ASK IS FOR A STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURE AROUND YOUR PROCESS AND AT EVALUATING THE SCHOOLS, INCLUDING THE STAR PROGRAM AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. 
          BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER CARPENTER, I, I THINK WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY IS, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO PUT A STRAIGHT JACKET ON Y'ALL, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME PARAMETERS. 
          'CAUSE I KNOW WHEN I READ THE CASE REPORT ON SAMUEL AND I SAW A SITE PLAN THAT WAS AN OUTLINE OF THE PARCEL AND A SQUARE IN THE MIDDLE WITH THE BUILDING BOLT AREA, MY HEAD ALMOST EXPLODED BECAUSE I MEAN, IN DISTRICT SIX ON WEST DALLAS, NORTHWEST DALLAS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME SCHOOLS, NOT DISD SCHOOLS THAT WERE ALLOWED TO GO IN WITHOUT TMPS AND THEY HAVE BEEN TRAFFIC HEADACHES FOREVER. 
          EVERY SCHOOL CASE, YOU KNOW, HAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC ISSUES. 
          AND IN, WHEN YOU'RE, UM, IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE BUILDING A REPLACEMENT SCHOOLS, THE COMMUNITY, AND A LOT OF TIMES THE COMMISSIONER HAS A, A VAST RESERVOIR OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHAT THE ISSUES ARE THERE. 
          UM, I GUESS AT THE 20% DESIGN PHASE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE, ARE YOU, HOW MUCH INPUT ARE YOU GETTING FROM THE COMMUNITY AT THAT STAGE TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE WITH HOW THE SCHOOL FUNCTIONS IN A TRAFFIC WAY? BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE DOING THESE PERMANENT SUVS, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT WITH SAMUEL INITIALLY WAS ASKING US TO KIND OF JUST KICK THE TMP DOWN 
          [01:25:01]
THE ROAD. 
          BUT, BUT YOU KNOW, OUR ISSUE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SCHOOLS REALLY INTEGRATE INTO THE COMMUNITY AND THE TMP IS A HUGE PART OF IT. 
          SO I'M, WHERE IN THE PROCESS ARE WE GOING TO GET THE COMMUNITY INPUT? UM, I THINK AT, AT THE VERY BEGINNING, I THINK, UH, YOURS, UH, GABE ALLEN BURNETT AND MAYBE ANOTHER ONE, MAYBE KB POPE MAY IN YOUR AREA, UH, KELLY A UM, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE TRY TO, YOU KNOW, LISTEN, FIRST GET, GET A FEEL FOR THE COMMUNITY VERY EARLY ON, UH, GET A CONCEPT. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AS WELL, GET A CONCEPT OF WHAT THE TRAFFIC WOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          UH, WE ARE REACHING OUT TO THE NEIGHBORS, TO THE, LIKE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS TO GET THEIR IMPACT AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE EXPERIENCING. 
          BUT A LOT OF TIME MY PARENTS WHO ARE DOING THE PICKUP AND DROP OFF HAVE THE MAIN CONCERNS. 
          SO, UH, ON THE SITE, ESPECIALLY LIKE GABE ALLEN, I MEAN, THAT'S A VERY SMALL, TIGHT SITE. 
          UM, OUR ARCHITECT HAS, YOU KNOW, LIKE, SAY, COME UP WITH SOME TYPE OF CONCEPT. 
          SO I WOULD SAY IT'S VERY EARLY ON, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT AT THAT COMMUNITY PRESENTATION OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS HAVE REVIEWED AND OBSERVED. 
          LIKE I SAY, THEY GO OUT THERE AND THEY ACTUALLY COUNT THE CARS AND LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, THE CURRENT PROBLEM. 
          UH, I'LL LET, KATIE MAY HAVE MORE TO ADD ON TO THAT, BUT IF I SAY INTERJECT FOR A SECOND, ARE THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS BEING INTEGRATED INTO DESIGN PROCESS FROM THE VERY, VERY BEGINNING? YES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THEY ARE, AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE, UM, WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL DESIGN DELIVERABLES THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN PROCESS. 
          SO, UM, TO MOST OF THE ARCHITECTURE COMMUNITY, WHEN YOU START A PROJECT, IT'S CALLED PRE-DESIGN AT DALLAS, ISD WE CALL IT SCOPE TO BUDGET. 
          AND WE HAVE A STANDARDIZED TEMPLATE FOR THE FIELD OBSERVATION REPORT THAT THE ARCHITECTS NEED TO FILL OUT BEFORE WE APPROVE IT. 
          THERE'S, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO GO ON SITE AND REPORT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT, UM, RESEARCH AND PROVIDE INFORMATION TO US. 
          ONE OF WHICH IS WHAT ARE THE TRAFFIC, WHAT'S, WHAT ARE THE TRAFFIC FLOW PATTERNS? WHAT ARE THEY HEARING FROM THE PRINCIPAL IN TERMS OF, UM, STUDENTS THAT ARE WALKING. 
          UM, AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE STARTING THAT ASSESSMENT AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT. 
          THEY'RE ALSO, ALL OF OUR, ON THEIR REPLACEMENT SCHOOLS, THEY'VE JUST MOVED INTO WHAT WE CALL SCHEMATIC DESIGN. 
          SO THAT'S JUST THE EARLY DESIGN PERIOD. 
          THEY ALL HAVE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS ENGAGED AND THEY'RE WORKING ON, UM, COUNTING THE CARS, LOOKING AT PEDESTRIANS, MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PROJECT TEAM ON HOW THAT THOSE TRAFFIC PATTERNS SHOULD FLOW THE INGRESS AND INGRESS. 
          THAT'S ALSO WHEN THEY BRING IN OUR, OUR CHIEF OF POLICE AND OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TEAM AND OUR CAMPUS SAFETY AND SECURITY TEAMS, BECAUSE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT GO INTO THAT LAYOUT FOR THE TRAFFIC EARLY ON, YOU KNOW, STAFF PARKING, UH, STUDENT PARKING, PARENTS PARKING BUSES. 
          WE DON'T WANT ALL THEM ALL CONVERGING AT THE SAME POINT, AT THE SAME TIME. 
          SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS EARLY, AND THAT IS ONE OF OUR STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO AT 20% YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED WHERE BUSES ARE GOING TO LOAD OR WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO COME ONTO THE WE HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO LOAD. 
          WE'RE HAVING THE CONVERSATION ULTIMATELY WHERE THEY SHOULD BE LOADING. 
          MM-HMM . 
          IS A REFLECTION OF THE FINAL DESIGN OF THE SCHOOL. 
          BIG, BIG, SOME OF THOSE WE'VE MENTIONED THE IDEA THAT THE, THE CRITICAL ONE FOR US IS WHERE OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS ENTER AND LEAVE THE BUILDING ALONG WITH OUR PRE-K STUDENTS. 
          WE WANT THEM TO HAVE THE SHORTEST PATH OF TRAVEL POSSIBLE. 
          SO IF THINGS SHIFT DURING DESIGN FOR, AS THEY DEVELOP THE DESIGN, WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE THOSE LOCATIONS ARE. 
          AND THEN WE CAN FINALIZE AND SAY WHERE THE BUS DROP OFF AND PICKING IS PICK UP IS WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHERE WE THINK IT'S GOING TO GO. 
          MM-HMM . 
          BUT SOMETIMES FOR VARIOUS REASONS, THE DESIGN SHIFTS, THINGS CHANGE AS THEY DEVELOP IT. 
          SO IT'S NOT ABSOLUTE AT 20%. 
          RIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          BECAUSE ONE OF THE BIGGEST, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, VARIABLES THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IS WHERE THE PASSENGER, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE PA UH, PARENT QUEUE'S GOING TO BE AND WHERE THE BUSES ARE GOING TO BE. 
          SO NOT BEING ABLE TO, I, I DON'T MEAN WITHIN, YOU KNOW, ONE FOOT, BUT I MEAN OFF OF A CERTAIN DRIVE THIS SIDE OF THE BUILDING, THAT SIDE OF THE BUILDING. 
          I MEAN, I'M, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE WOULD GET THROUGH APPROVING AN SUP WITHOUT AT LEAST HAVING SOME IDEA. 
          YEAH, I, I THINK THE BIG MOVES, THE ORIENTATION WHERE THE BUILDING IS CITED MM-HMM . 
          YOU KNOW, BUS DROP OFF, PARENT DROP OFF. 
          'CAUSE WE TRY TO SEPARATE THOSE TWO. 
          I THINK THAT THAT'S GOOD AT 20%. 
          THAT'S OUR AIM. 
          UH, AGAIN, THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY WITH THAT FEEDBACK. 
          DOES THIS WORK? THIS, THIS IS HOW WE SEE IT FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW. 
          DOES IT REALLY OPERATE THAT WAY? AND WE, WE, WE GET THAT FEEDBACK. 
          SO YEAH, I MEAN, IT, IT, AS LONG AS WE'RE NOT HELD DOWN, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S SAYING IN THE, IN THE SAM, THIS IS OUR CONCEPT. 
          WE THINK THIS WORKS RIGHT BEFORE WE'VE TIED IT DOWN. 
          AND 
          [01:30:01]
WHEN WE GOT FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD, SOMETIMES NOT TO COME BACK HERE. 
          WE'VE DONE SOME WEIRD CHANGE ORDERS OR SOME WEIRD THINGS AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S CAUSE CONFLICT. 
          SO LIKE, SAY WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS, SAMUEL IS WHAT WE THINK WE CAN PRODUCE FOR THIS LARGE VOLUME THAT WE ARE ABOUT TO, UH, UH, PUT IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          WELL, OTHER THAN TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY AFFECTS THE NEIGHBORS IS, YOU KNOW, THE, THE SETBACKS. 
          SO I NEED TO KNOW THOSE ON A, A SITE PLAN. 
          AND ALSO, I MEAN, YOU ALREADY HAVE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE WORKED OUT AT THAT POINT. 
          I KNOW WHEN I SAW THE, WHAT WE GOT ON SAMUEL, AND THEN I GOT THE PRESENTATION FROM MS. THURMAN THAT HAD GONE TO THE COMMUNITY WHEN YOU DID THE, UM, COMMUNITY PRESENTATION, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A SITE TABLE ON THAT, THE CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN THAT YOU SHOWED THE COMMUNITY THAT HAD MORE INFORMATION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO THE SAME TYPE OF INFORMATION SHOWN ON AN SUP PLAN, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S LOT COVERAGE OR, YOU KNOW, HEIGHT'S AN IMPORTANT ISSUE. 
          YOU KNOW, ONCE AGAIN, BECAUSE THE WAY THE RULES ARE NOW, THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT IS SCHOOL COULD BE ANY HEIGHT ALLOWED BY THE FAA, BUT THE COMMUNITY WANTS MORE OF AN IDEA. 
          I DON'T MEAN THAT I NEED 32 FEET AND YOU'RE REALLY GONNA BE 30, BUT, BUT SOME PARAMETERS ON IT. 
          AND IF THERE'S A, A PART OF THE BUILDING THAT NEEDS MORE HEIGHT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PUT IN SOME KIND OF SPECIALIZED GYMNASIUM, AUDITORIUM, STORM SHELTER OR WHATEVER, UM, PERHAPS WE COULD HAVE SOME LANGUAGE THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET CAN, THE BUILDING CAN, CAN GO UP TO THIS HEIGHT. 
          SO IT COULD BE ABLE TO GIVE THE COMMUNITY SOME IDEA NOT ONLY OF WHERE THE, THE BUILDING IS, BUT WHERE THE, THE HEIGHTS ARE GONNA BE. 
          AND I, I, I THINK THAT COULD BE DONE IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T TIE YOU DOWN SO MUCH THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, COME BACK AT A LATER DATE. 
          AND ALSO, IF YOU HAVE EQUIPMENT ON ROOFS THAT ARE, THAT REQUIRE OVERAGES OR SOMETHING, IF WE COULD FIGURE OUT SOME, WHETHER IT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, SETBACK FROM THE EDGE OF THE BUILDINGS OR THE HEIGHTS OR, YOU KNOW, PERCENTAGE, YOU KNOW, JUST SOME, SOME SORT OF GENERAL PARAMETERS THERE. 
          AND I THINK EVERYTHING ELSE THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED. 
          SO THAT'S, I'LL I'LL STOP. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER HALL. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE. 
          ALL OF YOU. 
          UH, I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND I, I DON'T THINK I'VE HEARD ANYTHING THAT CAN'T BE WORKED OUT. 
          . 
          I THINK IT COULD BE DONE. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO ASK TWO THINGS. 
          ONE IS, UH, WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LIST OF THESE 24 SCHOOLS, UH, FOLLOWING WITH COMMISSIONER CO, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM BY DISTRICT SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT'S COMING UP IN OUR DISTRICT. 
          AND TWO, UH, ANY FUTURE PRESENTATIONS, UH, PLEASE USE FEWER WORDS AND LARGER FONTS, , BECAUSE WE'RE SITTING HERE LOOKING AT THESE LITTLE TEENY SCREENS HERE AND IT'S VERY HARD TO READ THOSE THINGS UP THERE. 
          AND I THINK YOU PRESENTED A LOT OF INFORMATION BOTH FROM THE CITY AND BOTH FROM THE DISD, UH, BUT, UH, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THERE WAS LESS INFORMATION PER SLIDE AND THEY WERE EASIER TO, TO READ. 
          BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU'RE ALL DOING AND I THINK MOVING FORWARD, UH, WE'LL ALL WORK TOGETHER, UH, HOPEFULLY VERY SMOOTHLY TO GET THIS DONE. 
          WILL DO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU. 
          AND IF YOU COULD CIRCULATE THE POWERPOINT DECKS TO US, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          I KNOW THE ART OF THE POWERPOINT IS SOMETIMES A LITTLE CHALLENGING, TRANSLATING IT FROM RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER IN FRONT OF YOU INTO THIS VERY SMALL SCREEN THAT APPEARS IN FROM A IN FRONT OF US. 
          UM, I DID HAVE A FEW ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. 
          UM, I THINK COMMISSIONER CARPENTER'S COMMENT ABOUT THE, UM, TMP IS PARTICULARLY INCISIVE. 
          YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE'S SOME SCHOOLS AND DISTRICT SIX THAT AREN'T DISD SCHOOLS THAT JUST DON'T HAVE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLANS ARE ACTUALLY THE REASON WHY WE DO HAVE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLANS NOW. 
          AND, AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY SPEAKS VOLUMES. 
          I THINK WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TMPS. 
          I THINK THE KEY QUESTION IS, IS WHERE AND WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE AT DIFFERENT PHASES OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS? I MEAN, I THINK, YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER CARPENTER COULD SPEAK TO US WITH HORROR STORIES ABOUT SCHOOLS WITHOUT TMPS, BUT POTENTIALLY MOVING INTO THIS, YOU KNOW, SORT OF MIDDLE GROUND WHERE THE TMP MAY LOOK DIFFERENT OR MAY COME LATER IN THE PROCESS, I THINK IS SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT TO EXPLORE. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD DEFINITELY EDUCATE US ALONG WITH YOUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS, UM, ABOUT WHAT, YOU KNOW, THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE EARLIER IN THE PROCESS, RECOGNIZING THAT MR. NAVAREZ AND HIS TEAM WILL CERTAINLY HEAVILY SCRUTINIZE THE TMPS, UM, AT, AT PERMITTING, UM, UM, ON THE LOCATION OF, OF QUEUING ON THAT, I DON'T WANT TO DISRUPT A, A KUMBAYA MOMENT, BUT I DID WANNA OFFER A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. 
          [01:35:01]
I THINK WE HAD HARRY WITHERS IN FRONT OF US, MAYBE IN THE LAST BOND PROGRAM. 
          IT MAY HAVE BEEN, IT WAS SOME SOMETHING IN SORT OF NORTH CENTRAL NORTHWEST DALLAS. 
          AND THERE WAS THIS WOMAN WHO CAME IN AND SHE LIVED ACROSS FROM THE SCHOOL, AND Y'ALL WERE PLANNING TO BASICALLY RIP OUT THE FRONT YARD AND PUT TRAFFIC CIRCULATION THROUGH THAT AND CONCRETE. 
          AND SHE SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? I LIVE HERE AND I LOOK AT THIS, I WOULD RATHER LOOK AT THE GRASS AND THE KIDS PLAYING AND DEAL WITH SOME, YOU KNOW, ON STREET QUEUING DURING THE DAY. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT FOR ME, AND POSSIBLY FOR OTHERS, THERE ARE REAL TRADE-OFFS FROM PUTTING ALL THE QUEUING ON SITE AND MAKING THE SITE, YOU KNOW, MUCH MORE CONCRETE AT OVER VERSUS HAVING FOR A COUPLE TIMES A DAY. 
          IT, IT DOES CAUSE SOME IMPEDIMENT TO TRAFFIC FLOW, BUT I THINK IT MAKES FOR A NICER SITE, YOU KNOW, TO BE TRITE AND QUOTE A SW YOU KNOW, PAVE PARADISE, PUT UP A PARKING LOT. 
          THAT'S SORT OF THE TRADE OFF WHAT I SEE THERE. 
          AND I, I WOULD LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE KIDS TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, MORE ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL CAMPUS FOR PLAY AS OPPOSED TO FAVORING, YOU KNOW, VEHICULAR CIRCULATION, UM, ON SORT OF FLEXIBILITY. 
          YOU KNOW, I, I WANT TO GIVE Y'ALL FLEXIBILITY IF YOU NEED TO MOVE THINGS BECAUSE OF EASEMENTS OR WHATEVER. 
          ONE THING TO EXPLORE, AND I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS, WHETHER THIS IS, YOU KNOW, LEGAL OR SOMETHING ELSE, IS WHETHER WE CAN OFFER IN THE SUVS THEMSELVES SOME SORT OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS FOR, UM, FOR THE SUP, YOU KNOW, HOLDER OF THE SUP TO GO THROUGH, IF THEY WOULD NEED TO MAKE A, YOU KNOW, MEANINGFUL RELOCATION OF A POINT OF INGRESS OR EGRESS RATHER THAN HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. 
          IF THERE IS, YOU KNOW, GOOD CAUSE PERHAPS THERE'S A DIRECTOR APPROVAL THAT COULD BE BAKED INTO, UM, YOU KNOW, AN SUPI DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, WIDE RANGING ABILITY FOR THE DIRECTOR JUST TO, YOU KNOW, APPROVE CHANGES WITHOUT ANY, YOU KNOW, STANDARD BEING MET. 
          BUT IF THERE'S GOOD CAUSE FOR IT, AND IT WOULD JUST BE A MINOR AMENDMENT THAT COULD ADD A FEW MONTHS, THERE MAY BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS THAT COULD BE BAKED INTO AN SUP, BUT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT AS A LEGAL MATTER. 
          UM, LAST THING I THINK ON, ON, YOU KNOW, LANDSCAPING TREE PRESERVATION IS, THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT. 
          WHERE I LAND IS I DO NOT THINK EVERY SCHOOL NEEDS A BESPOKE LANDSCAPE PLAN IF THAT CAN LIVE IN THE SEP CONDITIONS. 
          THAT WOULD BE MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE FROM A EFFICIENCY AND FAIRNESS STANDPOINT. 
          UM, I THINK THOSE ARE MY ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS AFTER HEARING SOME REALLY, YOU KNOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND SO FOR CLA DFD SIDE, WE'RE SAYING REQUEST THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          I MEAN, WE MAKE IT PART OF THE CONDITIONS. 
          WE'RE SAYING FINALIZE IT DURING PERMITTING THOUGH. 
          SO WE'RE SAYING CONSISTENT ACROSS, DO NOT LET A SCHOOL US OR ANYONE NOT BE ABLE TO SUBMIT A TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          IT'S JUST WHEN WE FINALIZE IT AND IT WOULD BE IN THE CONDITION, SO WHEN IT GOES THROUGH THE PERMITTING, YOU'D HAVE THE SURETY THAT YOU WOULD, YOU DO HAVE IT. 
          SO COMMISSIONER SERATO AND KINGSTON. 
          YEAH, I WAS JUST WANTED TO, UH, REITERATE WHAT CHAIR RUBIN MENTIONED ABOUT MAYBE HAVING SOME LANGUAGE THAT ALLOWS FOR, I DON'T, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU WOULD WORD IT, BUT LIKE ANY CHANGES OVER, I DON'T KNOW, A PERCENTAGE OF LIKE, SOMETHING LIKE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK TO THE MISSION OTHERWISE, LIKE GO FOR THE CHANGES, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THERE WHERE LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF LEGAL LANGUAGE WE CAN USE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          LIKE I DON'T, I DON'T WANT TO WASTE PEOPLE'S TIME, YOU KNOW, LIKE, UM, I THINK WE'RE ALL CHAMPIONS OF CHILDREN AND SCHOOLS, LIKE I THINK WE ALL ARE THERE. 
          AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF, IF THAT'S SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S EVER BEEN DONE BEFORE, BUT LIKE SOME KIND OF LANGUAGE THAT ALLOWS FOR, I DON'T KNOW IF MINOR MAJOR IS REALLY LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S REALLY AMBIGUOUS, BUT SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS LIKE, YOU KNOW, CHANGES WITHOUT HAVING TO COME HERE. 
          YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER KINGSTON AND COMMISSIONER HAMPTON. 
          UM, YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I WAS HEADING ON. 
          IF THERE ARE MINOR CHANGES THAT WOULDN'T NEED US TO REVIEW IT, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE COULD, WE COULD IMPLEMENT. 
          ALSO, I JUST WANTED TO SAY I'M OKAY WITH THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN BEING SOMETHING THAT IS REQUIRED AND IT HAPPENING AT PERMITTING AND THEN, BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS SOME SORT OF PERIODIC REVIEW THAT THE PUBLIC HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN ON. 
          IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ALL THAT OFTEN, BUT, BUT IT HAS TO HAVE SOME MEANINGFUL TRANSPARENCY WITH THE PUBLIC. 
          AND THEN I ALSO SHARE COMMISSIONER RUBIN'S POINT 
          [01:40:01]
OF VIEW ON LANDSCAPING. 
          UM, I, I DON'T THINK EVERY ONE OF THEM NEEDS A LANDSCAPING PLAN. 
          UM, I THINK ARTICLE 10 PROVIDES A LOT OF OPTIONS. 
          UM, I JUST, I ALSO THINK THERE'S A REAL TRADE OFF FOR USING THE SCHOOL CAMPUS FOR QUEUING AND PARKING IN LIEU OF IT BEING A PLACE WHERE CHILDREN CAN PLAY AND COMMUNITIES CAN GATHER. 
          AND I TOO WOULD RATHER SEE THE STREETS BE USED WHEN POSSIBLE. 
          I KNOW THERE'S A TRADE OFF THERE, SO I'M, I'M NOT AN ADVOCATE FOR PUTTING ALL OF THAT ON YOUR CAMPUS WHEN WE CAN USE THE STREETS PERIODICALLY TO ACCOMPLISH SOME OF THAT. 
          SO I THINK THERE IS A TRADE OFF AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT SO THAT WE'RE NOT OVERLY BURDENING THE COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO RECOGNIZING THESE ARE PUBLIC STREETS AND THE SCHOOL GETS TO USE A PUBLIC STREET TOO, AND WE'RE NOT REALLY DOING THESE KIDS A FAVOR IF WE'RE SENDING THEM TO SCHOOL IN A CONCRETE JUNGLE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, COMMISSIONER HAMPTON, WE HAVE COMMISSIONER WHEELER ONLINE. 
          I JUST WANTED TO RESPOND TO THE, UM, HOW WE'RE APPROACHING TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLANS GOING FORWARD. 
          I THINK HAVING SOME OUTLINE OF WHAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE TRAFFIC MANAGE PLAN IS CRITICAL, BUT ALSO HAVING COMMUNITY FEEDBACK EARLY ON IF WE'RE BEING ASKED TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING. 
          AND THEN THE FINAL TMP COMES, YOU KNOW, TWO YEARS AFTER THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN OPENED. 
          SO THERE'S SORT OF A FEEDBACK LOOP AS, UM, MENTIONED BY MY OTHER COMMISSIONERS, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WOULD BE SOME BASE SET OF REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE PTMP AND THAT YOU'VE HAD THAT COMMUNITY INPUT ON. 
          AGAIN, WE'VE HEARD FROM A NUMBER OF FOLKS, HERE'S WHERE SOME OF THE PAIN POINTS HAVE BEEN. 
          HAVE WE, ARE WE GETTING THOSE ADDRESSED? I FULLY SUPPORT MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS. 
          I DON'T WANT YOU ALL TO PAY OVER YOUR CAMPUSES. 
          AND SO THERE IS A BALANCE BETWEEN THAT. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, WHERE IS THAT BALANCE BETWEEN UTILIZING WHERE YOU ARE DOING PARKING AREAS AND THEY'RE ORGANIZED THAT SUPPORT QUEUING, BUT STILL GIVE ROBUST OPEN SPACE THAT IS A COMMUNITY AMENITY. 
          UM, AND THAT'S WHERE I LOOK FORWARD TO, UM, SEEING HOW Y'ALL DEVELOP THAT. 
          I'M VERY CONFIDENT THAT THERE IS A WAY TO CRAFT STANDARDS THAT GIVE THAT FLEXIBILITY AND PREDICTABILITY, UM, AND MAKE THESE, THE, THE ANCHORS THAT ARE OUT. 
          THEY ARE IN ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THAT. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UH, ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, HOW, HOW WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO RECEIVE IT? I MEAN, WE HAVE A LOT OF MEETINGS, WE NOTATE IT, WE RECORDED SOMETIMES, BUT WHAT WOULD BE THE ARTIFACT THAT WE NEED TO PRESENT FROM THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS TO THE COMMISSION? I, I MEAN, I ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF HERE, BUT IF YOU RECORD IT, THEN, YOU KNOW, POST THAT RECORDING WOULD BE GREAT. 
          I MEAN, I DON'T WANNA MAKE Y'ALL PUT A TON OF WORK PRODUCT TOGETHER, BUT I GUESS, YOU KNOW, OUR NEW ROBOT OVERLORDS ARE PRETTY GOOD AT SUMMARIZING THINGS. 
          SO A BRIEF, YOU KNOW, SUMMARY WOULD BE GREAT. 
          DO OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE WE GO TO COMMISSIONER WHEELER? WELL, I WOULD JUST SAY QUICKLY AGAIN, HERE WERE THE FIVE COMMENTS THAT WE WERE ASKED TO RESPOND TO. 
          JUST SOME SORT OF, YOU KNOW, HERE'S WHAT WE HEARD. 
          UM, SO THAT, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK WE'RE ALL GONNA HEAR FROM OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL. 
          SO I'M GUESSING THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF, UM, CONSISTENT FEEDBACK. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          COMMISSIONER WHEELER. 
          I HAD, I HAD TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES EARLIER AND I DON'T REALLY THINK MY QUESTION WAS KIND OF ANSWERED, BUT, BUT I CAN GO TO THE NEXT. 
          UM, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MY CONCERN IS, UM, SOME OF THESE TYPE OF CASES AS, AS IT RELATES TO ESPECIALLY SCHOOLS, UM, ON THE COMMISSION, ON OUR COM, ON OUR END, UM, WHEN WE KNOW THAT THESE CASES ARE COMING UP, THAT WE, WE HAVE TO BE VERY T WORKING WITH CITY STAFF. 
          AND SO NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT CITY STAFF AT THE PERMITTING DEPARTMENT HAS A TEAM THAT ADDRESSES THIS, THAT WE NEED, THAT WE NEED TO CONTACT INFORMATION SO THAT WHEN WE HAVE A SCHOOL THAT COMES UP ON OUR AGENDA, THAT AS THE, THE COMMISSIONER FOR THAT DISTRICT AND OTHER COMMISSIONERS THAT WE CAN REACH OUT TO THE PERMITTING DEPARTMENT AND THE QUESTIONS THAT WE MIGHT ASK THAT MIGHT HOLD UP THE PERMITTING ON THEIR END, UM, THAT WE SEND SOMETHING TO THEM AND WE HAVE THAT BACK AND FORTH CONVERSATION BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH IS ONLY WHAT IS HAPPENING AT CPC. 
          AND, AND I'VE SEEN IT WHERE OUR DECISIONS AFFECT NOT ONLY THE ISD PROJECTS, BUT OTHER PROJECTS. 
          BUT, SO WORKING WITH, UM, UM, UH, ASSISTANT, UM, DIRECTOR, UM, UM, WILLIE AND HIS TEAM, AND EVEN WITH DIRECTOR LOU AND, BUT BEING IN VERY DILIGENT BEFORE IT MAKES THE CPC AND ATTENDING THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND BEING SO THAT WHEN WE GET HERE, WE'RE NOT HAVING TO ASK SOME OF THE 
          [01:45:01]
QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE ASKING AND ASKING, DID THE, DID THE COMMUNITY, WAS THE THERE ANY INVOLVEMENT? AND DISD IS SAYING, YES, WE HAD PLENTY OF MEETINGS, BUT WAS IT ATTENDED OR WAS IT ATTENDED BY THE DISTRICT ITSELF? UM, SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS, BUT I DO WOULD LIKE TO SEE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NOT JUST THE CURRENT PLANNING TEAM, BUT ALSO C-P-C-C-P-C AND THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM ON, UM, OVER AT, ON JEFFERSON SO THAT WE CAN HAVE BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT, WHAT THEY WOULD NEED SO, AND CLARITY WHAT THEY WOULD NEED WHEN WE'RE PUTTING IN OUR STIPULATIONS. 
          MS. LENAHAN, UH, ACTUALLY TO FOLLOW UP, I, I THINK A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT COMMISSIONER WHEELER WAS SAYING AND THEN THE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TMP. 
          UM, WE CAN COME UP WITH QUESTIONS. 
          THEY MIGHT NOT BE THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL WOULD ASK. 
          SO WHAT TYPE OF QUESTIONS WOULD YOU, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ASKING REGARDING THE TMPS? 'CAUSE WE MIGHT HAVE A, WE MIGHT NOT ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS, I ASSUME WE WOULD, BUT DO YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS? ? I'M, I'M HAPPY TO RESPOND TO THAT AS A, AS A FIRST STEP. 
          SO I, AGAIN, IT'S GOING TO VARY BY CAMPUSES, BUT THE THINGS THAT I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD START WITH IS HAVE THERE BEEN EXISTING ISSUES WITH THE DROPOFF OR WITH THE QUEUING? HOW ARE THOSE BEING ADDRESSED AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR NEW PLAN AND YOUR NEW CONFIGURATION? HOW IS YOUR ONSITE PARKING FACILITATING, UM, QUEUING DROP OFF, ESSENTIALLY THE THINGS THAT YOU ALL ARE SAYING. 
          UM, AND THEN IF YOU HAVE BUSING, HOW ARE CHILDREN WHO MAY BE WALKING TO SCHOOL, HOW IS THE PEDESTRIAN KIND OF CROSSING IN THOSE CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE, UM, TRAFFIC AND THE PEDESTRIAN ARRIVAL? HOW ARE THOSE BEING ADDRESSED? UM, I'M SURE THERE'S MORE IF I COULD GIVE, BUT THOSE ARE, I MEAN, I WOULD START THERE. 
          I WOULD ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, I WOULD, UM, UNDERSTAND, AND I WILL SAY I CANNOT ARTICULATE WHAT THEY ARE, BUT I WOULD THINK THAT THE STAFF HAS STANDARDS THAT ARE IN THE TMP THAT YOU ALL USE AS YOUR BASELINE TODAY. 
          SO I THINK OUR, THIS BODY HAVING THAT, HERE'S THE LIST THAT THE CITY STARTS WITH AND USING THAT AS PERHAPS THE STARTING POINT AS WELL. 
          BUT THOSE FROM A COMMUNITY SIDE, HOW DO YOU WALK, HOW DO CARS GET THERE? WHERE ARE THE CONFLICT POINTS AND WHERE DO YOU BUS AND OR DROP OFFS? UM, COORDINATE WITH THE OVERALL SITE PLANNING WOULD BE AT A HIGH LEVEL WHERE I THINK I WOULD START MY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I, I THINK I WOULD ALSO ADDITIONALLY ASK, UM, YOU KNOW, HOW LONG CUES TEND TO BE FOR PARENTS? LIKE HOW LONG ARE YOU WAITING AND, AND PICK UP LINES. 
          UM, I'VE KNOWN PARENTS AT THE SCHOOLS. 
          MY CHILDREN HAVE ATTENDED THAT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE AT THREE 30, SO I'D RATHER GET THERE AT TWO 30 AND WAIT A WHOLE 30 MINUTES BEFORE MY KID GETS OUT BECAUSE IT'S GONNA TAKE ME 45 MINUTES TO GET THROUGH LINE IF I SHOW UP AT THREE O'CLOCK, YOU KNOW, OR I'M EXAGGERATING 45 MINUTES, MAYBE NOT, BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE ME A WHILE AND I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE BY THREE 30. 
          SO I, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES CUES TAKE A WHILE. 
          UM, EVEN SOME OF THE NEWER SCHOOLS. 
          SO I THINK GETTING SOME FEEDBACK ABOUT HOW LONG IS IT TAKING TO PICK UP YOUR CHILDREN IF YOU ARRIVE AT TWO 50 AND THEY GET OUT AT THREE O'CLOCK. 
          UM, YEAH. 
          ALRIGHT, WELL WE ARE AT 1225. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          DISD ALL THE CITY STAFF WHO HAVE PRESENTED TODAY AND CONTRIBUTED TO THESE PRESENTATIONS. 
          I THINK THIS WAS, YOU KNOW, TRULY HELPFUL. 
          UM, I'LL JUST SAY AS A CLOSING NOTE, YOU KNOW, DISD, PLEASE WORK WITH, YOU KNOW, STAFF AND DO GET TO US, YOU KNOW, SOME PROPOSALS ON MORE CONCRETE, YOU KNOW, STANDARDS, GUIDELINES, WHATEVER WE WANNA CALL THEM SO WE CAN WRAP OUR HEADS AROUND THEM AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHETHER IT MAKES SENSE TO PRESENT THAT TO US IN WRITING OR TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, BRIEFING OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. 
          AND, BUT, UM, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED AND WANNA SUPPORT Y'ALL THROUGH THE NEW BOND PROGRAM AND GETTING ALL THESE WONDERFUL SCHOOLS BUILT, YOU KNOW, AND, AND UPDATED. 
          SO THANK YOU AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING A FRUITFUL PARTNERSHIP. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          OKAY. 
          WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A 15 MINUTE BREAK AND BE BACK AT 1240 TO START OUR PUBLIC HEARING. 
          AND SINCE THE BRIEFING THIS MORNING WAS TAKEN UP BY, UM, THE YEP, MM-HMM  WE GOT PLACES TO GO AND PEOPLE TO SEE, UM, WE WILL, UM, BRIEF ANY CASES THAT NEED TO BE BRIEFED DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          SO WE'LL BE BACK AROUND 1240. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL

          DISTRICT 14, COMMISSIONER KINGSTON HERE AND PLACE 15 CHAIR RUBIN, I'M HERE. 
          YOU HAVE QUORUM, SIR. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          UM, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T JOINED US BEFORE THE CITY PLAN COMMISSION, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING. 
          UM, OUR RULES ALLOW THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER PER CASE AND ALLOW US TO ADJUST THAT UPWARDS OR DOWNWARD IF THE PARTICULAR NEEDS OF THE CASE, UM, REQUIRE THAT. 
          AND IF THERE IS OPPOSITION ON A CASE, THE APPLICANT DOES GET A TWO MINUTE REBUTTAL PERIOD. 
          IF, UM, YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK TO US, THERE'S A LITTLE YELLOW FORM TO MY LEFT, YOUR RIGHT DOWN AT THE BOTTOM ON THIS TABLE HERE. 
          AND IF YOU COULD FILL THAT OUT SO WE HAVE A RECORD WHO'S OF WHO'S COMING TO SPEAK TO US, THAT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. 
          AND WHEN YOU DO START YOUR COMMENTS, IF YOU'RE SPEAKING TO US, PLEASE START WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR OUR RECORD. 
          UM, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE ITEMS OUT OF ORDER TODAY JUST FOR HOUSEKEEPING PURPOSES BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE SOME, UM, CONFLICTS AND OTHER THINGS. 
          SO I KNOW COMMISSIONER KUNTZ WAS GOING TO HOLD CASE NUMBER 16, SO IF WE CAN GET THAT READ IN AND A QUICK MOTION THERE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          I THINK THAT DOES NEED TO BE READ INTO THE RECORD SO COMMISSIONER KUNTZ CAN MAKE THE MOTION READ IT. 
          CHAIR RUBIN, I ALSO PLAN TO HOLD MINE CASE SEVEN IF YOU WANTED TO. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET ALL THE HELP CASES OUT OF THE WAY. 
          UM, THERE'S JUST A STAFF MEMBER SO IN CASE THERE HAPPENED TO BE ANY QUESTIONS, SO THAT, THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY I'M HOLDING IT EARLY. 
          SO THIS IS ITEM NUMBER 
          [16. 26-3338A An application for a Neighborhood Stabilization Overlay (NSO) on  property zoned R-10(A) Single Family District, generally bounded by  Garland Road, N. Buckner Boulevard, Peavy Road, and the East Dallas  Santa Fe rail line, and properties on the southwest line of Buckner  Boulevard, south of Garland Road.]
16 FOR CASE Z 26 0 0 0 2 1 1 AND APPLICATION FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION OVERLAY ON PROPERTY ZONED R 10 SINK FAMILY DISTRICT, GENERALLY BOUNDED BY GARLAND ROAD, NORTH BUCKNER BOULEVARD, PV ROAD, AND THE EAST DALLAS SANTA FE RAIL LINE AND PROPERTIES ON THE SOUTHWEST LINE OF BUCKNER BOULEVARD AND SOUTH OF UH, GARLAND ROAD. 
          UH, STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ARE THERE ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? ITEM NUMBER 16. 
          OKAY, COME ON DOWN. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          MY NAME IS FREDDIE VACCA. 
          I LIVE AT 1545 NORTH BUCKNER. 
          I'VE LIVED ON THAT PROPERTY FOR OVER SEVEN YEARS. 
          UM, I REPRESENT THE BUCKNER SECTION ONE THAT IS A GROUP OF 22 NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, 22 HOMES THAT ARE ON BUCKNER. 
          I HAVE 22 SIGNED PETITIONS BY EACH INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNER, UH, REQUESTING THE REMOVAL OF BUCKNER. 
          FOR THE OBVIOUS REASON, BUCKNER IS A T HIGHWAY, IT IS NOT A BOUNDARY LINE. 
          IT SHOULD NOT BE BOUND BY A NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION, UM, OVERLAY, WHICH IS THE WRONG INSTRUMENT TO BE USED FOR THAT. 
          SO I UNDERSTAND THAT COMMISSIONER KTZ HAS ALSO, THE STAFF HAS ALSO MADE THAT RECOMMENDATION. 
          I APPRECIATE IF THE COMMISSION WOULD PASS THAT BUCKNER SECTION ONE BE PULLED OUT OF THAT PARTICULAR NSO, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          UM, FOR THE SECOND REASON ALSO UP HERE IS JUST FOR TWO QUICK PARTS. 
          NUMBER ONE, AN NSO HAS NOT BEEN FILED IN THIS PARTICULAR MANNER OVER A DECADE. 
          AN NSO IS NOT A PARTICULAR VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE USED FOR, FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING. 
          THE NAME OF AN NSO IS AN, IS A IS A STABILIZATION OVERLAY. 
          [01:55:01]
WELL, YOU DON'T NEED TO STABILIZE A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR OVER 75 YEARS. 
          IF YOU REMOVE BUCKNER FROM THIS PARTICULAR NSO, THEN UNDOUBTEDLY WHAT THE MESSAGE THAT WAS GIVEN TO THE RESIDENTS, WHAT'S THE NSO WAS TO BE REMOVED WAS, WAS THE PREMISE WAS TO BE TO STOP OVERBUILDING. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, THE, THE PARTICULAR PALOMA, UH, ESTATE, UM, NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WAS BUILT ON BUCKNER, WHICH WAS VERY CONTROVERSIAL, WHICH WAS APPROVED. 
          IF YOU REMOVE BUCKNER FROM THIS NSO, WHAT WE'RE SIMPLY ASKING IS THAT YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE PROPERTY VALUES OF THE 200 PLUS OTHER RESIDENTS THAT ARE ALSO GONNA BE AFFECTED BASED ON FLAWED DATA AND BASED ON NOT A CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT PROCESS. 
          SO YOU HAVE 200 HOMES IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH BY THE WAY, I DON'T LIVE THERE. 
          I LIVE ON BUCKNER. 
          SO IF BUCKNER GETS REMOVED FOR THE OBVIOUS REASON, I'M, I SHOULD BE, I SHOULD JUST BE OKAY WITH THAT. 
          BUT I'M NOT OKAY WITH THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE 200 PLUS RESIDENTS THAT YOU HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION THAT HAS NOW WEAPONIZED A PARTICULAR VEHICLE IN THE CITY, ONE THAT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF IN OVER A DECADE TO TAKE THE PROPERTY VALUE AWAY FROM THEM ON THE BUILDABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE. 
          WHEN YOU TAKE THE BUILDABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF A PRIVATE CITIZEN PRIVATE PROPERTY, THE CITY HAS GUIDELINES THAT IT NEEDS TO FOLLOW. 
          AND I'M NOT SURE THAT THE CITY WANTS TO OPEN ITSELF UP TO ANY TYPE OF, OF LEGAL ISSUES WHEN YOU'RE TAKING AWAY BUILDABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE FROM AN INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE PROPERTY HOLDER, THE NSO WILL SHOW THAT THEY PROPOSED 50 FEET ON, ON ONE SIDE, 100 FEET ON THE FRONT, IN SOME INSTANCES 25 FEET. 
          THAT CONCLUDE TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK ON CASE NUMBER 16? OKAY, WE'LL GO TO COMMISSIONER KOONTZ FOR A MOTION THANK YOU CHAIR IN THE MATTER OF Z 26 0 0 0 2 1 1. 
          I MOVE TO KEEP THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AND HOLD UNTIL NOVEMBER 5TH. 
          THANK YOU COMMISSIONER KOONTZ FOR YOUR MOTION. 
          COMMISSIONER HALL FOR YOUR SECOND. 
          ANY DISCUSSION? UM, I, YEAH, QUICKLY, I JUST, I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY THAT CAME OUT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON NOVEMBER 5TH. 
          UM, SO GREAT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          ANYONE ELSE? ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KONZ, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HALL TO, UM, HOLD THIS MATTER UNDER ADVISEMENT UNTIL NOVEMBER 5TH. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED? SAY NAY. 
          THE MOTION CARRIES. 
          ALRIGHT,

          [ZONING CASES – CONSENT     ]
A CONSENT AGENDA CONSISTING OF ITEMS ONE THROUGH FOUR OF MISCELLANEOUS ZONING ITEMS. UH, LET'S TAKE UP ITEM FOUR INDIVIDUALLY SINCE THAT IS A RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL. 
          [APPROVAL OF MINUTES:]
MR. CHAIR, BEFORE WE DO THAT, DO WE NEED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES? OH, THANK YOU MINUTES. 
          YEAH. 
          COMMISSIONER HALL, DO YOU HAVE A MOTION ON THE MINUTES? THANK YOU MR. CHAIR.

          THE MOTION CARRIES. 
          ALRIGHT, SO THE WAY A CONSENT AGENDA WORKS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO AREN'T, AREN'T FAMILIAR IS MULTIPLE ITEMS GET TAKEN UP IN A SINGLE MOTION AND APPROVED. 
          SO WE HAVE TWO CONSENT AGENDAS. 
          THE FIRST ONE IS MISCELLANEOUS SONY ITEMS ONE THROUGH FOUR AND A COUPLE ITEMS HAVE ALREADY COME OFF. 
          ITEMS THREE AND FOUR AND THOSE WILL BE CONSIDERED INDIVIDUALLY.

          COME ON DOWN. 
          HELLO, . 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          MY NAME IS ROBERT NUNEZ AND I'M WITH ALCHEMY DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS. 
          I LIVE AT FIVE 13 MULBERRY LANE IN DESOTO, TEXAS. 
          I'M HERE REPRESENTING MY CLIENT, MR. ANCHO. 
          HE'S THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE BUSINESS OWNER FOR THIS PROPERTY. 
          HE PURCHASED IT ROUGHLY FOUR YEARS AGO, AND HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING ON THE SIDES. 
          HE JUST THOUGHT THERE WAS A GOOD BUSINESS PLACE TO, TO START WORKING. 
          AND SO AFTERWARDS, THAT'S WHENEVER THE POLICE BASICALLY STARTED TALKING TO HIM A LITTLE BIT MORE, SAYING, WELL, YOU DO HAVE SOME CRIME HAPPENING BEHIND YOUR STORE. 
          AND WELL, HE STARTED PUTTING LIGHTS, INITIALLY JUST LIGHTING AND THEN THERE WERE SOME HOMELESS. 
          THEY WERE JUST KIND OF HANGING AROUND IN THE FENCE IN THE BACK. 
          THEY'RE JUST COMING IN. 
          SO HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE PROCESS, BASICALLY. 
          SO HE JUST CALLED THE POLICE. 
          AND SO HE STARTED GETTING, HE STARTED, UH, CALLING, WELL NOT NECESSARILY HIM, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT WORK AT THE STORE WERE JUST CALLING THE POLICE BASICALLY ALMOST EVERY WEEK FOR HOMELESS THAT WERE JUST COMING IN. 
          SOME OF THEM WERE JUST UNRULY. 
          BUT, UM, EVENTUALLY WHEN WE APPLIED FOR THE, THE RENEWAL, THAT'S WHEN THEY FOUND OUT, WELL, NO, I MEAN, THE COMMISSION IS NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT'S 
          [02:15:01]
HAPPENING AT THE STORE. 
          SO THAT'S WHEN THEY STARTED PUTTING IN MORE MONEY, STARTING ACTUALLY CLEARING UP THE AREA. 
          THEY ACTUALLY RAISE THE FENCE AND THE BAGS THAT THE HOMELESS CAN'T JUST COME IN BECAUSE THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE A FENCE IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY THAT BASICALLY HAS, IT'S, IT'S FOR THE HVAC SYSTEM THAT IS IN THE BACK. 
          AND SO THEY HAVE THAT FENCE AND THEY RAISE THE FENCE SO THAT HOMELESS WOULDN'T COME IN. 
          THEY, THEY ADDED A NEW FENCE TO COVER ALL THE, AROUND THE AREA. 
          UM, THEY, WELL, SOME CARS WERE JUST KIND OF GETTING WAY TOO CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY, SO THEY ADDED BALLERS EVERYWHERE, ALL AROUND THE PROPERTY. 
          THEY ADDED CAMERAS AND THEN THEY ADDED ADDITIONAL STAFF, AND THEN WE WERE APPROVED FOR THE RENEWAL. 
          BUT FOR 18 MONTHS WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          NO CASES WERE HELD FOR OUR STORE. 
          THE PROBLEM WAS THAT MOST OF THAT CRIME THAT WAS HAPPENING AT OUR STORE MOVED RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE LAUNDROMAT. 
          AND SO WHEN THE POLICE WERE COME FOR ISSUES AT THE LAUNDROMAT, POLICE WOULD JUST USE THE CONVENIENCE STORE AS AN ADDRESS TO GO BY. 
          SO THE LAST TIME THAT WE CAME TO THE COMMISSION FOR A VOTE FOR RENEWAL, UH, WE WERE APPROVED. 
          BUT WHEN WE WENT TO COUNCIL BY THEN, THEY HAD A LOT MORE INFORMATION AND WE WERE, I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT, AND THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF IT EITHER, THAT THERE WAS ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENING BECAUSE NOTHING WAS HAPPENING AT OUR STORE. 
          THEY WERE HAPPENING NEXT DOOR TO US. 
          AND SO AFTER WE WERE DENYING FEBRUARY, THEN WHEN WE STARTED COMMUNICATING WITH THE OWNER OF THE LAUNDROMAT NEXT DOOR TO US, AND THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED, BASICALLY THE OWNERS FOR OUR PROPERTY STARTED, UH, GIVING MONEY TO THE OWNER OF THE LAUNDROMAT SO THAT HE CAN PURCHASE LIGHTING, HE CAN PURCHASE MORE CAMERAS, AND THEN COMMUNICATING DIRECTLY ON A DAILY BASIS WITH THE MANAGER FOR OUR STORE SO THAT THERE IS NO MORE CRIME HAPPENING OR PEOPLE JUST, WHAT HAPPENS IS A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST HANGING AROUND. 
          THAT CONCLUDES YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ARE THERE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS IN THE BOARD ARE HERE? I CAN CONTINUE FOR THEM. 
          WELL, THERE WAS THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER IF THEY'D LIKE TO SPEAK. 
          THEY'RE WELCOME TO, BUT IT'S, IT'S THREE MINUTES PER PERSON. 
          I DO WANT JUST SAY, SIR, THAT'S YOUR TIME.

          YOU KNOW, I'VE, UH, UH, HIRED MORE STAFF AND ACTUALLY HAVE A SECURITY GUY WHO, YOU KNOW, UH, ROAMS THE PROPERTY, UM, IN THE EVENING TIME. 
          SO THERE IS NOBODY STANDING OUTSIDE. 
          AND AS FAR AS WE WERE CONCERNED, THERE WAS NO ISSUE IN OUR PROPERTY. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, SINCE IT'S A GAS STATION, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES SOMEBODY GETS PULLED OVER, UH, YOU KNOW, THE COPS WILL WRITE OUR ADDRESS. 
          SO WHAT WE DID IS WE STARTED, UH, WRITING DOWN ALL THE WHATEVER'S HAPPENING IN THAT SITE, AND WE HAVE VIDEOS AND, YOU KNOW, UH, NOTARIZED DOCUMENT FROM OUR EMPLOYEE SAYING WHAT HAPPENED. 
          IT WASN'T ON OUR SITE.

          THANK YOU MR. BATE. 
          IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON ITEMS FIVE 13 OR 15? YES, MA'AM. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, UH, CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS. 
          MY NAME IS BECKY OLIVER CONLEY AND I OWN THE PROPERTY AT 6 2 2 0 AND 6 2 2 2 WINTON STREETS IN WILSHIRE HEIGHTS. 
          MY REQUEST TODAY IS STRAIGHTFORWARD. 
          I WANT MY DUPLEX TO REMAIN A DUPLEX. 
          THIS PROPERTY WAS BUILT AS A DUPLEX. 
          AND MA'AM, THIS IS, THIS IS NOT THAT CASE. 
          OH, I THOUGHT THIS WAS 1 62. 
          OH, IT IS CASE FIVE. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I, I MISTAKEN. 
          YES, IT IS THE CASE. 
          I I GOT CONFUSED. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY. 
          THIS PROPERTY WAS BUILT AS A DUPLEX IN 1948 AND HAS SERVED THAT PURPOSE FOR NEARLY 80 YEARS. 
          I'M ASKING YOU TO RESTORE THE ZONING THAT REFLECTS ITS LONGSTANDING USE AND ALLOWS ME TO REINVEST IN ITS FUTURE. 
          IN 1991, THE PROPERTY WAS RE RECLASSIFIED AS SINGLE FAMILY DURING A CITYWIDE DOWN ZONING INITIATIVE. 
          EVEN THOUGH IT HAS REMAINED UNCHANGED, THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PROVIDES IMPORTANT CONTEXT ALONG WYNTON. 
          FROM ABRAMS TO MY PROPERTY, THERE ARE 22 DUPLEXES WITH DUPLEX ZONING, INCLUDING MY IMMEDIATE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. 
          THERE ARE FIVE ADDITIONAL DUPLEXES EXTENDING TO NORRIS STREET. 
          RESTORING DUPLEX ZONING WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED CHARACTER OF THAT STRETCH OF WYNTON. 
          MY PROPERTY ALSO FACES THE REAR OF THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES ALONG MOCKINGBIRD, INCLUDING PARKING LOTS, DUMPSTERS, AND THE BURGER HOUSE DRIVE-THROUGH THAT LOCATION IS ANOTHER REASON TO CONSIDER THIS REQUEST WITH THE ACTUAL CONTEXT OF THAT BLOCK. 
          MY EXISTING UNIT IS MODEST, ABOUT 1400 SQUARE FEET, ONE BEDROOM, ONE BATH ON EACH SIDE. 
          THE LOT MEASURES 55 BY ONE 30 AND OFFERS ROOM FOR A THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED IMPROVEMENT THAT WOULD MAINTAIN TWO RESIDENCES. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT PARKING IS ALWAYS A CONCERN TODAY. 
          THAT PROPERTY HAS A GARAGE BUILT IN 1948 THAT BARELY ACCOMMODATES ONE CAR. 
          MY GOAL WOULD BE TO PROVIDE TWO CAR GARAGES FOR EACH RESIDENCE, CREATING SPACE FOR FOUR VEHICLES ENTIRELY ON MY PROPERTY. 
          MY GOAL IS TO PRESERVE TWO HOMES ON A PROPERTY THAT HAS PROVIDED TWO HOMES FOR GENERATIONS. 
          I RE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN RESTORING MY DUPLEX ZONING AT 6 2 2 0 AND 6 2 2 WINTON SO THAT I CAN IMPROVE THE PROPERTY AND CONTINUE ITS LONGSTANDING ROLE IN WILSHIRE HEIGHTS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU.

          UM, IS THE EIGHT UNIT THE LEGAL MAXIMUM OR SIMPLY THE APPLICANT'S CURRENT PROPOSAL? WHAT COULD ACTUALLY BE PERMITTED UNDER THE UNRESTRICTED MF DASH TWO A ZONING ON THIS LOT? UM, THEY ACTUALLY, LET ME SEE ONE SECOND. 
          UM, THEY CAN BUILD WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE SETBACKS AND THE REGULATIONS. 
          LET ME JUST CONFIRM THE NUMBER OF UNITS. 
          SORRY, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL QUICKLY ADD THAT EIGHT 40 TAKES AWAY THE LIMIT ON THE UNITS. 
          I UNDERSTAND THEY MAY BE BRINGING FORWARD 8, 8 40, TAKES AWAY THE LIMIT ON UNITS, BUT THEY'RE ON A SITE THAT I UNDERSTAND HAS OUR ZONING ON EITHER SIDE. 
          SO THAT PUTS A 15, NO, EXCUSE ME, A 10 FOOT SETBACK FROM EITHER SIDE. 
          SO THAT'S GONNA BE THEIR BIGGEST LIMITING FACTOR. 
          UM, IS THAT, IS THE SETBACKS AND THE, UH, THE LOT COVERAGE OF 60%. 
          SO WHILE THE UNITS THEMSELVES, I THINK THE BUILDABLE FOOTPRINT IS PRETTY LIMITED ON THIS PARTICULAR SITE? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND HAS ANYONE DEMONSTRATED THAT EIGHT UNITS ACCESS, TRASH COLLECTION, LANDSCAPING AND THE PROPOSED PARKING CAN FIT WITHIN THE VARIANCES? UM, COMMISSIONER THERE, THIS IS A STRAIGHT ZONING CASE, UH, JUST TO CHANGE IT TO MF TWO A. 
          SO THEY WOULD GO THROUGH PERMITTING AND JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD CHECK ALL OF THAT. 
          THEY WOULD, YOU KNOW, AT THAT TIME PER, UM, TURN IN THEIR PLANS AND THEY WOULD UNDERGO A FULL REVIEW OF EVERYTHING. 
          UM, ALL THE ZONING REGULATIONS, BUILDING CODE, REGULATIONS, UM, YOU KNOW, ALL, ALL REGULATIONS AT THAT TIME.

          SO THEY, THEY COULD BE ELIGIBLE TO USE THAT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THEM TO USE THE INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF REQUIREMENTS WITH THAT STILL FOR, FOR A NEW CONSTRUCTION, BUT IT, IT COULD ALLOW THEM AN EASIER PATH TO PATH TO, TO BUILDING THAT, UM, ONSITE.

MOTION CARRIES ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. 
          DO YOU WANT THIS ONE BRIEFED COMMISSIONER GILBERT SMITH? NO, I DO. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, DR. 
          HASHMI, IF, UM, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. 
          WHAT COULD THE OWNER BILL TODAY UNDER THE EXISTING CR ZONING AND SB 84 AND EXACTLY WHAT ADDITIONAL RIGHTS DOES THE PD PROVIDE? UH, YES, THE, THE, UH, PROPERTY ZONED, UH, CR AND, UH, IT MEANS THAT THEY CAN BUILD A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT BY RIGHT UNDER SB EIGHT 40. 
          BUT, UM, ON CR UH, THEY CAN BUILD UP UP TO 54 FEET AND THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING FOR A HIGHER HEIGHT UP TO 60. 
          THAT'S WHY, UH, THEY LIKE TO DO REZONING. 
          AND AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE THE PROPERTY IS, UM, NEXT TO THE DART STATION WITHOUT WMU FIVE, UH, FITS BETTER HERE WITH THE INTENT TO HAVE A WALKABLE AND TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT. 
          BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WMU, UH, MU FIVE, UM, UH, WITH, WITH R WHEN RPS UH, KICKS IN, UH, THEY CAN JUST BUILD UP TO 55 FEET AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR UP TO 60. 
          THAT'S WHY THEY ARE ASKING, UH, FOR A NEW PD UH, BUT, UH, WITH, UH, WMU FIVE USES, UH, TO, UM, YEAH, JUST MAKE SOME DEVIATION FROM THE WMU FIVE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A DOABLE PROJECT. 
          SO ON PAGE EIGHT 11, IT APPEARS TO STRIKE THROUGH VISUAL INTRUSIONS WHILE THE PROPOSED CONDITIONS EXPRESSLY ADDRESS PROXIMITY SLOPE, CAN YOU, UH, RECONCILE THE, UH, DOCUMENT AND EXPLAIN THE PROTECTIONS FOR WINDOWS, BALCONIES, ROOFTOPS, ROOFTOP ACTIVITY, LIGHTING, AND MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT? SO YOUR QUESTION IS ABOUT, UH, THAT SPECIAL STANDARDS OR ABOUT OKAY. 
          SO, UH, YEAH, UH, AS I SAID, UH, NCR, UM, UH, PRO RPS WOULD KICK IN AS WELL, BUT, UH, BECAUSE OF THE DEPTHS OF THE LOTS, UH, THEY CAN STILL BEAT THE 54 HEIGHT. 
          SO THE AT, THAT'S WHY WE SET UP THE, THE, UH, RPS UH, COULD WITH RPS, THEY COULD LIKELY ACHIEVE 54 FEET. 
          AND THEN UNDER WM U FIVE, UH, WE HAVE RPS AND DAY ONE TODAY, WE, FROM THAT AND, UH, UM, EXEMPT FROM HAVING RPS TO BE ABLE TO, UH, BUILD A HIGHER BUILDING, WHICH SETBACKS AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS PROTECT EXISTING HOMES WEST OF THE SITE. 
          UH, THE, UM, FOR LAND LANDSCAPING, I BELIEVE THEY DEFAULTED TO, UH, RTL 13. 
          AND, UM, THERE IS A LAND ESCAPING REQUIREMENTS, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC ONE ON TOP OF MY HEAD. 
          IF YOU HAVE, UM, YEAH, NO, THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT, PLEASE CHIME IN. 
          I CAN ANSWER THAT. 
          AND, AND THEN IN ADDITION, UM, TO THE NORTH THERE IS A SIDE SETBACK. 
          SO WE HAVE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS THAT ARE REQUIRED, UM, BUT ALSO SCREENING IS TRIGGERED WHEN YOU HAVE THESE KINDS OF NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES OF, UH, ADJACENT OR ACROSS AN ALLEY FROM A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. 
          UM, AND THAT, AND THAT INCLUDES, I KNOW THAT I THINK THE SITE TO THE NORTH IS UNDEVELOPED, UH, BUT BECAUSE OF THE ZONING, THEY ARE ZONING, IT STILL, UM, APPLIES. 
          SO IT, I DON'T HAVE THE, UH, SCREENING REGULATIONS GENERALLY. 
          UM, YOU HAVE TO HAVE, UM, EITHER A SCREENING FENCE WHEN IT'S, UM, NEAR A PARKING LOT OR THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THEY HAVE TO HAVE A PARKING SETBACK AS WELL IN THIS PARTICULAR ZONING. 
          UM, WHEN THEY ABUT, UH, ANOTHER DISTRICT, SO THEY HAVE TO HAVE A 10 FOOT PARKING SETBACK. 
          UM, THEY HAVE TO PUT LANDSCAPING IN THAT, UH, TYPICALLY A SIX FOOT SCREENING, SOLID SCREENING FENCES REQUIRED IF THEY HAVE COMMERCIAL USES, WHICH, UM, THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO, UM, HAVE A, A SMALL RETAIL SPACE THAT WILL BE TRIGGERED AND THEN THEN THE 15 FOOT SETBACK. 
          SO IT'S KIND OF, I THREW OUT A LOT OF NUMBERS, UH, BUT IT KIND OF, IT KIND OF STEPS. 
          YOU HAVE A LANDSCAPE BUMPER, 
          [02:40:01]
APARTMENT SETBACK. 
          WHY DID I, I TURNED OFF MY, MY MIC WHEN I PUSHED IT AWAY. 
          YOU HAVE THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER, YOU HAVE A PARKING SETBACK, AND THEN BIGGER THAN THAT, YOU HAVE A BUILDING SETBACK. 
          SO THOSE THREE LAYERS ALL ACT. 
          AND THEN THERE'S THE, THE SCREENING FENCE THAT'S REQUIRED, UM, WHEN THEY OPEN TO IF, IF THEY WERE TO BE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL AND THEY HAVE THAT COMMERCIAL ON SITE. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, ARE YOU DONE WITH YOUR QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER SMITH? COMMISSIONER CARPENTER? NOW MY QUESTION IS ABOUT HEIGHT BECAUSE, UH, WM U FIVE ALLOWS THEM 80 FEET, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          BUT THEY'RE ONLY WANTING 60 FEET. 
          UHHUH . 
          UM, WAS THERE ANY, UH, CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO PUT A, PUTTING A LIMIT ON THE HEIGHT THAT WOULD ADD A LITTLE MORE PROTECTION TO THE SURROUNDING AREA? BECAUSE UNDER THIS THEY COULD GO 80 FEET PLUS THEY HAVE AN ALLOWANCE FOR 12 FEET ABOVE THAT. 
          YEAH, UH, WE BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE NOW THE, UM, DEVELOPMENT IS NEXT TO THE DATA STATION AND IT'S TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT. 
          WE SUPPORT HIGHER DENSITY. 
          BUT, UH, I ALREADY TALKED WITH THE APPLICANT AND THEY ARE FINE WITH LIMITING THE HEIGHT TILL, UM, TO 60 BECAUSE, UM, IT'S WHAT THEY NEED FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          BUT, UM, THEY'D LIKE TO HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY. 
          WELL SURE ALL APPLICANTS WOULD , BUT THEY WOULD BE AMENABLE TO LIMITING THE HEIGHT TO 60 FEET. 
          YES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER HANSON. 
          THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. 
          UM, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE SHOP FRONT HEIGHT, UM, SIMILAR TO COMMISSIONER CARPENTER. 
          SHE ANSWERED MY QUESTION ABOUT OVERALL HEIGHT, BUT, UM, THIS IS THE SECOND ONE WHERE I'VE SEEN THE MU FIVE COME THROUGH, UM, WHERE THERE'S A SUGGESTION TO REDUCE THE GROUND LEVEL STOREFRONT. 
          HOW IS STAFF EVALUATING THAT? I MEAN, ARE THERE EXAMPLES WHERE WE'VE SEEN 10 FEET, UM, RETAIL? IT SEEMS UNUSUAL IN MY EXPERIENCE. 
          I WAS WANTING TO UNDERSTAND STAFF'S REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THAT. 
          UM, UM, MICHAEL, IF YOU WANT TO TRY, YEAH, NO, UM, NO, ONE, ONE THING THAT THAT COULD APPLY IS IT'S A, IT'S A MINIMUM. 
          HE CAN BUILD BIGGER THAN THAT. 
          UH, BUT IT MAY GIVE HIM THE FLEXIBILITY TO NOT FINISH OUT THE ENTIRE FIRST FLOOR AS, UM, AS, AS THE SAME RETAIL HEIGHT. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF HE HAS A PORTION ON THE CORNER FACE IN THE STATION AND THAT IS A RETAIL FINISH OUT, THEN MAYBE HE CAN GO ABOVE. 
          THAT'S HOW HE WANTS TO DESIGN IT. 
          UM, BUT THEN IF HE WANTS TO GO DOWN TO A SMALLER FOR THE, UM, THAT'S MORE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE MAY DO IN A MULTI-FAMILY, UM, FOR THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, THEN THAT'S AN OPTION. 
          SO IS IT CORRECT THEN THAT THE SHOP FRONT PROVISION WOULD APPLY EVEN IN THE CASE OF A RESIDENTIAL USE? I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT WAS THE CASE. 
          UH, WELL, WELL IT'S, IT'S ABOUT THE, IT'S BASED ON THE BUILDING TYPE THAT THEY BUILD OUT. 
          UM, BUT THAT WOULD GET, EXCUSE ME, UH, 'CAUSE IT'S A MINIMUM. 
          THEY CAN BUILD THAT BIGGER, THEY CAN BUILD THAT BIGGER FOR A SHOP FRONT IF THE PORTION OF THEIR FACADE IS SHOP FRONT. 
          BUT IF THEY WANT TO BE A LITTLE FLEXIBLE AND PUT IN A RESIDENTIAL USE ON THE OTHER SIDE, THAT MAY, MAY HELP THEM DO THAT. 
          THE, THE APPLICANT MAY BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THAT THAT BETTER THEIR, THEIR PLANS. 
          I KNOW THAT THEY DON'T, THEY'RE NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT DONE WITH HOW THE RETAIL WILL BE LAID OUT, BUT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT. 
          AND SO FROM STAFF'S CONSIDERATION, DROPPING THE MINIMUM TO FROM 15 TO 10 ISN'T A CONCERN ON HOW THAT IMPACTS THE PEDESTRIAN ORIENTATION AND THE EXPRESSION OF THE STREETSCAPE, WHICH I HAD ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD WAS A BASE INTENT OF THE FORUM DISTRICT. 
          YEAH, WELL WE'RE, WE'RE ALSO NOT MANDATING, UM, SHOP FRONT IN TERMS OF, IT'S NOT A SHOP FRONT OVERLAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          THEY MUST DO SHOP FRONT, BUT WHEN THEY DO THOSE COMMERCIAL USES, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FINISH THEM OUT WITH ALL THE OTHER THINGS. 
          THE HIGH TRANSPARENCY, THOSE RETAIL FRONTAGES AND THOSE FREQUENT ENTRIES, ALL OF THOSE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE THERE. 
          UH, IF AN APPLICANT SAYS THAT THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH SOME OF, UH, THE FLEXIBILITY OF THAT, WE'RE, WE'RE WILLING TO LISTEN. 
          I DON'T THINK THAT ANY OF OUR, OUR CODES ARE A HUNDRED PERCENT, BUT I, I THINK THAT WHILE WE'RE HERE TO GIVE THAT FLEXIBILITY, HE CAN STILL DO THAT. 
          AND, AND WE STILL GET THE, THE REAL GOOD STUFF THAT WE NEED TO, WITH, WITH THE SHOP FRONT, THE TRANSPARENCY, THE ENTRANCES AND ALL OF THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COMMISSIONER CARPENTER? NO, I JUST WANNA CLARIFY THAT UNDER THIS ZONING, UM, IT'S NOT REQUIRED THAT THEY BUILD MIXED USE. 
          THIS DEVELOPMENT COULD BE COMPLETELY RESIDENTIAL. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S CORRECT. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT'S, THAT'S NOT THEIR PLAN. 
          UM, BUT IT'S, IT'S NOT MANDATED AS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RETAIL. 
          RIGHT. 
          IT WOULD SEEM THOUGH THAT LOWERING 
          [02:45:01]
THAT, THAT 15 TO 10 WOULD MAKE IT MORE LIKELY THAT IT WOULD BE A PURELY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT. 
          WAS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO REQUIRING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MIXED USE? SO I DON'T THINK THAT THE 10 LOWERING THE GROUND STORY FOR A MIXED USE SHOP FRONT INCENTIVIZES THEM TO DO AN ONLY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT BECAUSE THEY COULD, IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND BECAUSE THEY COULD JUST DO WHAT'S CALLED A APARTMENT STYLE MM-HMM . 
          AND THAT HAS THE SAME STORY HIGH. 
          AND SO IF THEY DID THAT, THEN THEY WOULD BE IN THE SAME PLACE. 
          BUT THE, THE 10%, IF MY READ MAKES THEM MORE LIKELY TO DO IT BECAUSE IT GIVES THEM MORE FLEXIBILITY SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO DO A FRONT SHOP FRONT, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COMMISSIONER WHEELER? UM, I WONDER AS, AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SHOP FRONTS AT ANY PERIOD PERIOD OF TIME, COULD THEY ALSO, UH, APPLY FOR EIGHT 40 WOULD WOULD MAKE THEM NOT HAVE TO, UM, ADHERE TO THE SHOP FRONT? THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 
          UM, SO IF WE CHANGED THIS TOOL, WALKABLE MIXED USE AND THEY WANTED TO HAVE A COMMERCIAL COMPONENT IN IT, THEY'VE GOT TO COMPLY WITH ALL THAT SHOP FRONT STUFF. 
          THERE'S NOTHING IN EIGHT 40 THAT, THAT REALLY TAKES THAT, THOSE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS AWAY. 
          THERE ARE SPECIFIC THINGS IN EIGHT 40 THAT THE CITY CAN'T REGULATE IN THAT. 
          UM, THEY CAN BUILD A PRO IN THEIR CURRENT ZONING. 
          THEY CAN BUILD A MIXED USE PROJECT WITH WORST DESIGN STANDARDS BECAUSE IT'S NOT FORM-BASED. 
          UM, BUT IF WE PASS THE WMU, THOSE THINGS ARE STILL GONNA BE REQUIRED BY THE EIGHT 40, UM, OR JUST BY IN SPITE OF EIGHT 40. 
          SO, SO, SO CURRENTLY WITH THE, WITH THE, THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW, UM, THEY COULD GO UP UNDER EIGHT 40 AND, AND AND HAVE WHAT WOULD BE THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT? THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE SAYING, IT'S KIND OF THE, A DIFFERENCE OF SIX FEET. 
          THEIR, THEIR MAX HEIGHT IN THEIR DISTRICT IS 54. 
          HE, HE IS ASKING FOR 60, SO THEY COULD DO A MIXED USE PROJECT 54 FEET. 
          UH, TODAY, UH, WE'VE KIND OF BEEN THROUGH THAT AND YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT ALTERNATIVES PRETTY, PRETTY WELL WITH HIM, UM, PRIOR TO THIS. 
          UM, BUT THAT'S THE DELTA IS, THAT'S THAT SIX OR EIGHT FEET, UM, THAT EVEN EIGHT 40 TODAY DOESN'T GET. 
          BUT IN THIS CASE, WE'RE GETTING A BETTER DESIGN. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, OKAY. 
          ANY OTHER COMMISSIONER KTZ, COULD YOU EXPLAIN THE LIGHT? THERE'S SOME LANGUAGE ABOUT WITHIN 100 FEET OF WEST CAMP WISDOM ROAD, MAXIMUM LIGHT LEVELS MAY NOT EXCEED 150 FOOT CANDLES. 
          I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT DIMENSION THAT I'M GUESSING THAT MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT CASE? OH, I'M SORRY. 
          WE ARE ON NUMBER EIGHT. 
          EIGHT, OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, LET'S READ IT IN, IN THE MATTER OF CASE NUMBER, IT'S, IT'S, SORRY, IT'S IT'S STAFF THAT READ IT IN.

          HASHMI SPEAKERS IN SUPPORT. 
          UH, I DID HAVE A PRESENTATION ACTUALLY FOR THIS. 
          I'M, DID YOU EVER, 
          [02:50:04]
SO, UH, CLOSE WHERE? HERE. 
          OKAY, COOL. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, PAUL CARDEN, 6 3 6 ASPEN VALLEY LANE, DALLAS, TEXAS 7 5 2 0 8. 
          UH, I'D SAY I'M PRETTY, PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THIS CASE HERE. 
          UM, IT'S BEEN A BIT OF A CHALLENGE, UH, TO SOLVE FOR. 
          SO A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT. 
          SO THIS SITE IS ABOUT 30,000 SQUARE FEET, UH, ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF AN ACRE. 
          IT IS LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM A DARK RAIL STATION IN SOUTHERN DALLAS. 
          THERE'S FOUR. 
          UM, AND WHEN WE SAY LITERALLY CROSS, I MEAN IT'S ABOUT 50 FEET. 
          UH, THE GOAL HERE IS REALLY TO DO SOME RETAIL BELOW HOUSING. 
          ORIGINALLY WHEN I FIRST ACQUIRED THIS SITE, I DID NOT INTEND TO PUT QUITE AS MUCH RETAIL AS I'M ACTUALLY TRYING TO DO NOW. 
          UM, HOWEVER WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, I'VE BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH A SMALLER REGIONAL CHAIN GROCER TO PLACE, UH, A LOCATION AT THE GROUND FLOOR OF THIS BUILDING TO DO SO I HAD TO COMPLETELY RECONFIGURE THIS TO BASICALLY ELIMINATE ALL GROUND FLOOR RESIDENTIAL UNITS. 
          UM, THIS IS KIND OF A ROUGH PROPOSED BUILDING, RIGHT? AND THE CONFIGURATION JUST CONTEXT WITHIN BRENTWOOD AND EVERYTHING, WE CAN GO BACK TO THAT IF WE NEED TO. 
          UM, IT IS RESPONDING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS KIND OF HAD A CALLED BUILD A BETTER MORALE PROCESS AND THEY KIND OF TALKED ABOUT WHAT THEIR MAIN GOALS WERE. 
          THEY WANTED SHOPS, RETAIL, UH, MIXED USE BUILDINGS. 
          UH, AND THIS WAS DONE OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. 
          UH, JUST GETTING THAT, THAT FEEDBACK. 
          THIS DOES RESPOND TO, IT HAS SHOPPING AND RETAIL, BUT JUST TO GO OVER THE GROUND FLOOR HERE. 
          AND I ACTUALLY SENT TO THE COMMISSION MODEL A 3D MODEL. 
          THEY COULD KIND OF LOOK AT AND ANALYZE, UH, ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE GROCER, THE POTENTIAL GROCER AND THE SMALL KIND OF MICRO RETAIL, IT'S PARKING AND JUST KIND OF ACCESS TO THE UPPER FLOORS BECAUSE THE SITE IS SO SMALL AND YOU HAVE LANDSCAPE ABOVE PARKING, SETBACKS, ALL THESE OTHER SETBACKS. 
          AND WE ALSO WANNA MIX, USE FORM. 
          IT REALLY CONFINES WHAT I'M ABLE TO DO HERE. 
          UM, AND THAT WAS ALSO ONE OF THE MAIN TRIGGERS, LIKE THERE'S REALLY NO WAY TO FIT THIS, THIS IN THERE. 
          AND I ACTUALLY ASKED MY ARCHITECTS REPEATEDLY, ARE WE SURE WE CAN'T DO IT WITH THIS? ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT ONCE WE SHIFT TO ACCOMMODATE THIS USER, WE HAVE TO SHIFT FROM A WOOD FRAME, GROUND FLOOR TO A CONCRETE GROUND FLOOR THAT THEN RAISES OUR HEIGHTS, WHICH THEN RAISES THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING AND IT CREATES A WHOLE SERIES OF KIND OF CASCADING EFFECTS WHERE WE JUST FUNCTIONALLY COULDN'T FIT IT. 
          UM, WE ARE BASICALLY, WE'RE ONLY AT ABOUT 36 UNITS. 
          UM, AND ON THE MICRO RETAIL IT'S REALLY DESIGNED TO BE SPLIT INTO THREE, SO 600, ABOUT SIX 50 SQUARE FOOT PER USER. 
          UM, AND WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE SITE TO KIND OF PUSH IT OR PULL IT AWAY FROM BOTH, PULL IT AWAY FROM THE NORTHERN RESIDENTIAL THERE, BUT ALSO FRAME THE STREET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, WHICH HAS BEEN QUITE A CHALLENGE, BUT WE THINK WE HAVE A SOLUTION FOR IT. 
          UM, AND THEN, YEAH, I THINK WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL GONNA HAVE SIX FOOT SIDEWAYS STILL WANNA MAKE SURE IT ENGAGES THE STREET PROPERLY, STILL KIND OF FRAMES THE STREET, STILL HAVE DOOR DENSITY FOR THE RETAIL. 
          UH, AND WE'VE PUT ALL THE PARKING KIND OF TOWARDS REALLY ALMOST PURE ALLEY ACCESS. 
          UM, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. 
          I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. 
          EXPLAIN KIND OF THE CONTEXT DETAILS OF, UH, THE HEIGHT, THE MECHANICS, UH, AND HOW WE'RE KIND OF TRYING TO MAKE THIS SITE WORK, UH, NEAR THIS RAIL STATION.

          HELLO. 
          I DID HAVE A PRESENTATION. 
          HOW DO I, HAVE YOU SENT IT TO STAFF? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THAT QUEUED UP FOR YOU. 
          LET'S SEE. 
          AND IT WAS THIS CORRECT? IT'S GOT IT. 
          HELLO, MY NAME IS ALLISON GROSS. 
          I LIVE AT 37 18 PICTURE LINE DRIVE. 
          AND I'M HERE TODAY TO REQUEST THAT THE CITY PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR MY PROPERTY WHERE I CURRENTLY OPERATE A LICENSED HOME DAYCARE. 
          THIS PERMIT WOULD ALLOW US TO EXPAND OUR ESTABLISHED CHILDCARE BUSINESS AND DEDICATE THE HOME FULLY TO CHILDCARE. 
          SO WHO ARE WE? I'M ALLISON, THE OWNER AND PRIMARY CAREGIVER. 
          BEFORE OPENING FROM A TO ZI WAS A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER FOR SEVEN YEARS. 
          AFTER HAVING MY TWO SONS, I REALIZED THAT THE LOCAL CHAIR CHILDCARE OPTIONS OFTEN HAD LONG WAIT LISTS AND DIDN'T MEET THE STANDARDS I WAS LOOKING FOR. 
          THAT LED ME TO OPEN FROM A TO ZI BECAME LICENSED IN MAY OF 2025 AND TODAY MY FOUR ASSISTANTS AND I CARE FOR 10 CHILDREN DAILY. 
          SINCE OPENING, WE HAVE SERVED 29 FAMILIES, SORRY, 29 CHILDREN FROM 25 FAMILIES. 
          I'VE EMPLOYED FIVE MOTHERS, RECEIVED OVER, UM, 80 INQUIRIES AND HOSTED 28 TOURS. 
          WE CURRENTLY DO NOT ADVERTISE BECAUSE OUR SPOTS REMAIN CONSISTENTLY FULL. 
          TODAY WE ALREADY OPERATE A LICENSED CHILDCARE HOME. 
          SINCE BECOMING LICENSED, WE'VE HAD ZERO DEFICIENCIES AND SIX INSPECTIONS. 
          UM, I LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE THAT I ESSENTIALLY LIVE IN A DAYCARE. 
          THERE ARE CRIBS SURROUNDING MY BED, AN ENTIRE ROOM DEDICATED TO NAPS, AND MY LIVING ROOM IS WHERE TODDLERS EAT, PLAY, AND SLEEP. 
          WE OPERATE MUCH LIKE ANY OTHER CHILDCARE FACILITY WITH CONSISTENT SCHEDULES, TRAINED CAREGIVERS AND FORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES. 
          OUR PROPOSED NEXT CHAPTER WOULD ALLOW US TO TRANSITION 
          [03:05:01]
TO A LICENSED CHILDCARE FACILITY, SEPARATING THE BUSINESS FROM OUR FAMILY RESIDENCE, WHILE ALLOWING US TO SERVE MORE FAMILIES. 
          ANY CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY WOULD MAINTAIN ITS RESIDENTIAL APPEARANCE. 
          I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSIDERING THE IMPACT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          STAFF WOULD PARK IN THE REAR DRIVEWAY AND PARENTS WOULD FOLLOW WRITTEN DROP OFF IN PICKUP PROCEDURES WITH STAGGERED TIMES TO MINIMIZE TRAFFIC DISRUPTIONS. 
          OUTDOOR ACTIVITY WOULD, WOULD REMAIN STRUCTURED TO MINIMIZE NOISE DISTURBANCES WHILE FOLLOWING CHILDCARE LICENSING AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. 
          WE ARE COMMITTED TO BEING AN ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY. 
          WE HOPE TO CONTINUE PROVIDING THE HIGH QUALITY HOME-LIKE CARE THAT SO MANY PARENTS ARE LOOKING FOR. 
          WHILE PRESERVING THE RESIDENTIAL NATURE AND FEEL OF THE HOME THAT WE SO DEARLY LOVE, OUR GROWTH WILL HAPPEN WHILE BEING MINDFUL OF OUR NEIGHBORS, WE ARE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING YOUR SUPPORT AND RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF OUR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SPEAKER AND SUPPORT. 
          YES. 
          HI, MY NAME'S ANGELA DE LA FUENTE. 
          I LIVE IN 37 12 PAGE LINE DRIVE. 
          I'M ALLISON'S NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. 
          I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HER FOR OVER A YEAR. 
          UM, ALLISON GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT HER DAYCARE, UM, SHOWED ME AROUND, GAVE MY DAUGHTER THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE SOCIALIZED WITH THE CHILDREN. 
          A TO Z HAS GIVEN MANY FAMILIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AFFORDABLE DAYCARE. 
          UH, HAS ALSO ALLOWED THREE STAY AT HOME MOMS TO JOIN THE WORKFORCE WITHOUT FEARING WHERE THEY SHOULD TAKE THEIR CHILDREN, KEEPING THEM THERE WITH THEM. 
          OUR DAYCARE BABIES ARRIVE AROUND SEVEN 30 AND GET PICKED UP NO LATER THAN FIVE 30. 
          DROP OFFS AND PICKUPS. 
          TAKES NO LONGER THAN TWO TO THREE MINUTES AND PARENTS WILL ALWAYS PARK THEIR VEHICLES IN THE FRONT NOT INTERFERING WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND THEIR DAILY ROUTINES. 
          WE'VE GOTTEN SEVERAL COMMENTS ON HOW ADORABLE OUR BABIES LOOK WHILE WALKING INTO OUR FACILITY BY OUR EARLY BIRD WALKERS.

          UH, VICE CHAIR HERBERT FOR YOUR SECOND COMMISSIONER SIMS. ANY DISCUSSION? YES. 
          UM, SO I KNOW THIS IS A LICENSED FACILITY THAT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW A LOT OF STATE LICENSING PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES. 
          WE COULD NOT CONSIDER THAT FOR THIS ZONING CASE. 
          AND A LOT OF THOSE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT AND DISCUSSED, UM, AND I AM SURE YOU WILL CONSIDER, CONSIDER, UM, WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR THE COMMUNICATION AND FOR, UM, PROVIDING THIS SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          I DID NOT GIVE YOU AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL BECAUSE OF YOUR ADJACENCY TO NEIGHBORS, UM, AND GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE YOURSELF, BUT WOULD SUPPORT AFTER THE FIVE YEAR FOR AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL.

          IT SEEMED TO ME WELL WE RECEIVED AN AMENDED SET OF SUP CONDITIONS, I BELIEVE IT WAS TODAY. 
          AND THEY SEEMED FAIRLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WAS IN THE DOCKET AND WHAT WAS READ.

          [14  26-3336A An application for D(A) Duplex District on property zoned R-7.5(A) Single  Family District, on the northwest corner of Guthrie Street and Toluca  Avenue. Staff Recommendation:  Approval. Applicant:  Valerie Punch Planner:  Martin Bate Council District:  4 Z-26-000173]
ITEM NUMBER 14. 
          DO YOU WANT THIS ONE BRIEFED OR DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COMMISSIONER GILBERT SMITH? I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. 
          OKAY. 
          AND YOU ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE TO BRIEF, I, I JUST HAVE QUESTIONS. 
          SOUNDS GOOD. 
          GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTIONS. 
          WHENEVER YOU'RE READY. 
          UM, CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH THE FOUR DWELLING UNITS, UM, AND HOW THEY WOULD FIT ON THESE TWO LOTS INCLUDING SETBACKS, PARKING, DRIVEWAYS, AND THEN ANY REQUIRED RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION? CERTAINLY I CAN, UH, I CAN SPEAK HIGHLY TO, OR I CAN SPEAK TO THE HIGH LEVEL, UH, REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE PUT FORTH THROUGH THE PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICTS. 
          I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL AND SHE MAY BE ABLE TO, TO MAY BE ABLE TO TAKE QUESTIONS ON MORE SITE SPECIFIC OR PLAN SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. 
          UH, AS SIMILAR TO THE OTHER CASE WE HAD EARLIER, SINCE IT'S A GENERAL ZONING CHANGE, WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC PLAN FOR IT, BUT THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE IN THE DEA DUPLEX DISTRICT IS 6,000 SQUARE FEET. 
          UH, GIVEN THAT THE AREA OF REQUEST IS 14,000 SQUARE FEET AND YOU COULD CONCEIVABLY SUBDIVIDE THIS INTO OR REPL THIS INTO TWO NEW LOTS, UH, EACH ONE HAVING A DUPLEX ON IT. 
          UH, THE WAY WE DEFINE DUPLEX, OF COURSE, IS TWO DWELLING UNITS ON ONE LOT. 
          TYPICALLY THAT'S GONNA SHOW UP AS TWO ATTACHED HOUSES. 
          YOU COULD POSSIBLY HAVE TWO SEPARATE STRUCTURES ON THERE, BUT THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A LITTLE TRICKY TO DO IN TERMS OF, UH, IN TERMS OF CITING ALL THAT AND PRO PROVIDING THE UTILITIES VERSUS JUST HAVING ONE STRUCTURE WITH TWO DWELLING UNITS ON IT. 
          UH, THE SETBACKS ARE SIMILAR TO OUR SEVEN FIVE, EXCEPT THAT THERE'S AN INCREASE OF 10 FOOT SETBACKS IN THE REAR. 
          SO IF THIS WERE SUBDIVIDED INTO, WELL, IT'S ALREADY SUBDIVIDED, BUT IF IT WERE DEVELOPED AS AN R SEVEN FIVE, A SINGLE FAMILY, IT WOULD LOOK PRETTY SIMILAR IN TERMS OF THE FRONT SETBACKS, THE SIDE REAR SETBACKS, EXCEPT WITH R SEVEN FIVE, THEY COULD BUILD A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE NORTH OF THEM. 
          WITH THE DA DUPLEX DISTRICT, THEY'RE PUSHING ANOTHER FIVE FEET BACK, SO IT TAKES DOWN THE SIZE A LITTLE BIT. 
          UH, THE LOT COVERAGE DOES INCREASE TO 60% VERSUS 45%. 
          UH, SO THAT DOES GIVE THEM A LITTLE MORE WIGGLE ROOM. 
          UH, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY'RE GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO THE MINIMUM, UH, LOT SIZE HERE AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE, LET'S SAY 10,000 SQUARE FEET PER LOT. 
          UH, AND SO IT WOULD BE, I THINK, FAIRLY COMPARABLE IN OVERALL FOOTPRINT AS TO WHAT COULD BE BUILT THERE TODAY UNDER R SEVEN FIVE. 
          UH, THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE, OF COURSE BEING ALSO THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT INCREASING. 
          UM, AND ALSO, SORRY, I DO BELIEVE THE RIGHT OF WAY IS IS ALREADY DEDICATED. 
          THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL DEDICATION NEEDED GIVEN THE, UH, CONFIGURATIONS OF THE STREETS AT THIS TIME. 
          I THINK I'M GONNA SKIP THE, I THINK THAT'S IT. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COMMISSIONER, CARPENTER? ARE THERE ANY OTHER DUPLEXES IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA? UH, NONE THAT I SAW IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. 
          UM, AT LEAST NOT UNDER THE, UH, CURRENT ZONING EITHER. 
          WAS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO THINKING ABOUT DESIGN STANDARDS? I KNOW WE HAD A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DISCUSSION DURING, YOU KNOW, FORD DALLAS 2.0 AND THE WHOLE IDEA OF ADDING GENTLE DENSITY MM-HMM . 
          THAT ADDING, YOU KNOW, THE TYPE OF DUPLEXES THAT ARE, THAT, UH, THE MARKET WANTS TO BUILD TODAY IS A CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCE IN, I MEAN, YOU HAVE LOT COVERAGE, THEN YOU HAVE THE INCREASED AMOUNT OF, UM, CONCRETE DUE TO THE USUAL FRONT FACING GARAGES AND ALL THAT. 
          AND IT COULD, IT COULD BE VERY LITTLE TRANSPARENCY, THE LOCATION OF THE FRONT, FRONT DOOR. 
          I MEAN, WAS THERE ANYTHING CONSIDERED IN TERMS OF INCREASING THE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDINGS? UH, THAT WAS NOT BROUGHT UP DURING THE, UH, DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT, BUT, UH, AGAIN, IF THE APPLICANT, UH, MA'AM IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP AS WELL. 
          UH, I THINK THEY, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY AS A DISCUSSION WE COULD HAVE AS WELL. 
          UM, OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE A DIRECT ACTION ON THE ITEM TODAY. 
          WE CAN RIGHT, I THINK HAVE A DISCUSSION NOW OR TAKE IT BACK WITH THE APPLICANT TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS THAT COULD BE INCORPORATED. 
          UH, OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD NEED TO BE VOLUNTEERED BY THE APPLICANT THROUGH DUE RESTRICTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WE'RE JUST IN THE BRIEFING RIGHT NOW. 
          SO MA'AM, YOU'LL GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ONCE WE CALL UP THE CASE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          MY APOLOGIES. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY, LET'S READ THE CASE INTO THE RECORD.

          UM, I DON'T KNOW IF, I APOLOGIZE IF WE RECEIVED SOMETHING, UM, THAT YOU HAD SHARED WITH THE COMMISSION.

          I THINK, AS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD DURING THE BRIEFING, UM, MANY TIMES WHEN WE SEE THESE TYPES OF CASES, UM, THERE IS CONSIDERATION TO GIVE TO DESIGN STANDARDS.

          UM, WE HELD THIS CASE UNDER ADVISE CASE UNDER ADVISEMENT LAST TIME TO HOLD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING. 
          UM, I MET WITH THE CONDO OWNERS DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH. 
          UM, AND IN YOUR CASE REPORT YOU SEE THAT WE'VE REMOVED, UH, RETAIL USES. 
          UM, WE, UH, COMMITTED TO CLOSING THE DRIVEWAY GATES WHEN THE, UH, LAUNDROMAT IS CLOSED. 
          UM, AND, UH, PROHIBITED, DETACHED LINES, UH, TO MEET THE NEIGHBOR'S REQUEST. 
          I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER SPEAKERS IN SUPPORT? ANY SPEAKERS IN OPPOSITION? OKAY, COMMISSIONER COX, YOUR MOTION? I DO. 
          THANK YOU MR. CHAIR.

          OKAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR MOTION. 
          COMMISSIONER COX, UH, COMMISSIONER KAUFMAN FOR YOUR SECOND. 
          ANY DISCUSSION? I MIGHT HAVE A CLAR CLARIFYING QUESTION. 
          WHAT WAS THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSED USE AGAIN? UM, THE PROPOSED USE IS, UH, DRY CLEANING OR LAUNDRY STORE, SO THAT FITS IN THE CATEGORY OF RETAIL AND PERSONAL SERVICE USES. 
          UM, BUT I THINK COMMISSIONER COX WAS INTENDING TO PROHIBIT THE GENERAL MERCHANDISER FOOD STORE USE AND THE PERSONAL SERVICE USES, AND I'M AGREEABLE TO THAT. 
          DOES THAT HELP? CAN YOU CLARIFY YOUR MOTION? COMMISSIONER COX, UNDER RETAIL PERSONAL SERVICE USES, WHAT USES DO YOU INTEND TO ALLOW? YEAH, AS STATED IN THE CASE REPORT, UM, I HAVE TO PULL IT UP, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S, UM, TATTOO PARLORS, MASSAGE PARLORS. 
          UM, SO RIGHT NOW THE RETAIL PERSONAL SERVICE USES SECTION ALLOWS DRY CLEANING YOUR LAUNDRY STORE, IT STRIKES GENERAL MERCHANDISE FOOD STORE GREATER THAN 3,500 SQUARE FEET. 
          AND THEN IT ALLOWS PERSONAL SERVICE USES THAT PROHIBITS BODY PIERCING STUDIOS, MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS, AND TATTOO TWO STUDIOS. 
          DID YOU WANNA ALTER THAT FROM WHAT'S IN THE DOCKET? CORRECT. 
          THE ONLY THING WE WANT IS THE LAUNDROMAT APPROVED AS AS A USE. 
          SO YOU'D BE STRIKING PERSONAL SERVICE USES, BUT LEAVING DRY CLEANING OR LAUNDRY STORE? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND COMMISSIONER KAUFMAN, YOU SECONDED THE MOTION. 
          ARE YOU STILL GOOD WITH IT? OKAY. 
          ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM, MR. COX? YEAH, I'LL JUST PROVIDE A LITTLE DETAIL ON THIS.

          17 OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SPENT IN DALLAS, ISD 10 OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SENT AT SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL ALONE. 
          UH, OVER 10 YEARS AT SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL HAS BEEN MY PRIVILEGE TO BE A TEACHER, A BASEBALL COACH, AND NOW A PRINCIPAL. 
          UH, I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO ALSO MEET FIRSTHAND, SO MANY PROUD AND DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI. 
          THEIR LIVES VARY FROM CAREERS IN EDUCATION, CIVIL SERVICE, MILITARY, HEALTHCARE, FINANCE, AND SO MANY OTHER WALKS OF LIFE. 
          THEY ARE AS DIVERSE A COMMUNITY AS THERE COULD BE. 
          HOWEVER, THEY HAVE ONE COMMON THREAD, ONE COMMON BOND THAT TIES THEM ALL TOGETHER, AND THAT IS THEIR EDUCATION AT SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL. 
          ALL OF THEIR LEGACIES AND JOURNEYS STARTED AT SAMUEL. 
          WE ASK YOU ALL NOW TO SUPPORT THIS RES RESOLUTION AND GIVE OUR STUDENTS THE RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES 
          [03:35:01]

          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SPEAKER IN SUPPORT. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          MY NAME IS ALIA GONZALEZ. 
          I, UH, 76 25 HUME DRIVE, DALLAS, TEXAS 7 5 2 2 7. 
          AND I'M HERE TO SUPPORT. 
          I AM HAVING IN BEEN, I HAVE BEEN IN EDUCATION FOR 19 YEARS AND I SERVE AS A ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL. 
          I HAVE DEDICATED MY LIFE TO EDUCATION. 
          FIVE OF THOSE YEARS HAVE BEEN IN THE PLEASANT GROVE AREA FOR STUDENTS IN THE, IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          EVERY SINGLE MORNING I LOOK INTO THE EYES OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE BURSTING WITH PROMISE AND VISION AND POTENTIAL, BUT RIGHT NOW, THEIR ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT REFLECT THE BRIGHTNESS OF THEIR FUTURE. 
          EVERY SINGLE, UM, BUILDING THE NEW SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL IS FAR MORE THAN A CONSTRUCTION PRO PROJECT. 
          IT IS A PRO, IT IS A PROFOUND INVESTMENT IN HUMAN POTENTIAL. 
          A STATE-OF-THE ART FACILITY FEATURING MODERN ARCHITECTURE, CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY AND COLLABORATE COLLABORATIVE DYNAMIC LEARNING SPACES SENDS A CLEAR MESSAGE TO OUR YOUTH, YOU MATTER, YOUR COMMUNITY MATTERS, AND YOUR FUTURE IS WORTH INVESTING IN. 
          WHEN STUDENTS STEP INTO A MODERN INSPIRING SPACE BUILDING SPECIFICALLY FOR THEIR SUCCESS, IT TRANSFORMS THEIR MINDSETS. 
          PRIDE REPLACES THE APATHY, CURIOSITY REPLACES ROUTINES, ATTENDANCE GOES UP AND ATTENDANCE DRIVEN ENGAGEMENT SURGES. 
          AND STUDENTS ARE GENUINELY MOTIVATED TO SHOW UP AND GIVE THEIR BEST EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          PLEASANT GROVE DESERVES A SCHOOL THAT MATCHES THEIR HEIGHT OF THE CHILDREN'S DREAMS, GIVE OUR STUDENTS THE HOME THEY DESERVE TO BUILD THEIR FUTURE THEY CAN BE CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING. 
          I URGE YOU TO GRANT PERMISSION TO BUILD A NEW SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU.

          THANK YOU.

          NEXT SPEAKER IN SUPPORT. 
          HELLO AND GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          MY NAME IS MIGUEL LA MAYA. 
          MY ADDRESS IS 7 6 2 5 HUME DRIVE. 
          I AM A JUNIOR STUDENT AT WW SALMON HIGH SCHOOL WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRADUATE EARLY THIS YEAR. 
          IN MY YEARS OF BEING PART OF THIS AMAZING COMMUNITY, I'VE COME TO LEARN WHAT BEING A SPARTAN MEANS TO ME. 
          BEING A SPARTAN MEANS THAT WE SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT. 
          WE DON'T JUST SHOW UP AND TRY. 
          NO, WE SHOW UP AND WE DO. 
          WE DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO WHEN WE HAVE TO DO IT. 
          I'M PROUD OF BEING A SPARTAN. 
          THIS SCHOOL OFFERS SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO ALL OF ITS STUDENTS, INCLUDING AN AVID AND EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAM. 
          THE STUDENT, THE STUDENTS IN SAM, ARE ALSO A BIG PART OF EVERYONE'S SUCCESS. 
          THEY'RE ALWAYS OPEN TO GIVING A HELPING HAND WHEN YOU NEED IT, AND THEY HAVE LOTS OF DETERMINATION TO DO WHAT'S NEEDED. 
          I WAS EXCITED TO HEAR THAT SAMUEL WOULD BE LOOKING TO GET A NEW BUILDING AND WITH THIS NEW BUILDING COMES NEW OPPORTUNITIES. 
          THIS WILL ALLOW THE SPARS TO HAVE A NEW FACILITY WITH MODERNIZED CLASSROOMS AND CUTTING EDGE FACILITIES. 
          THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW SAMMY TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE PROGRAMS LIKE AVID EARLY COLLEGE AND CAREER INSTITUTE STUDENTS IN MY COMMUNITY TO SERVE A NEW SCHOOL BECAUSE WE HAVE THE DETERMINATION AND THE DISCIPLINE TO STRIVE FOR A GREATER FUTURE. 
          AND IF WE WERE SUCCESSFUL AT OUR OLD CAMPUS, I KNOW WE CAN DO EVEN BETTER WITH THE NEW SCHOOL. 
          WITH THAT BEING SAID, I ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER HELPING US WITH THE NEW BUILDING OF OUR, WITH THE BUILDING OF 
          [03:40:01]
OUR NEW SCHOOL. 
          THE OLD SALMON WAS INDEED EXCELLENT, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE MODERNIZED TO KEEP UP WITH THE NEW TIMES. 
          WITH THE HELP AND INVOLVEMENT IN THIS PROJECT, WE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS TOGETHER. 
          SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL IS MORE THAN A BUILDING. 
          IT IS A PART OF THE IDENTITY AND HISTORY OF THIS COMMUNITY. 
          WE ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT ZONING CASE Z DASH 26 DASH 0 0 0 1 66 AND HELP US MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEW SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL FOR OUR STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SPEAKER. 
          HELLO, MY NAME IS MARIA ROMO. 
          I LIVE IN 7 3 3 CLIFFVIEW DRIVE. 
          UH, I'M A CURRENT STUDENT AT SAMUEL. 
          I'M A SENIOR. 
          I BELIEVE BEING A SPARTAN MEANS BEING PART OF A COMMUNITY WHERE WE LEARN, GROW, AND WORK TOGETHER. 
          SCHOOL IS NOT JUST A PLACE WHERE WE COME TO HAVE AN EDUCATION. 
          IT'S ALSO WHERE WE MAKE FRIENDS GREAT MEMORIES AND PREPARE OURSELVES FOR THE FUTURE. 
          BEING A SPARTAN ME MEANS BEING PROUD OF WHERE WE COME FROM AND BEING ABLE TO REPRESENT OUR SCHOOL. 
          ONE THING I AM PROUD ABOUT SAMUEL IS THE STUDENT AND HOW WE KEEP WORKING HARD TO REACH OUR GOALS. 
          EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT DREAMS AND PLANS FOR THEIR FUTURE, BUT WE ARE HERE TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING OF OURSELVES. 
          I'M ALSO PROUD THAT SAMUEL IS AN EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO GET A HEAD START ON COLLEGE WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. 
          I THINK THAT IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND IT SHOWS THAT OUR SCHOOL WANTS US TO SUCCEED. 
          I HOPE THAT THE NEW SUMMIT WILL GIVE STUDENTS A BETTER PLACE TO LEARN. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO SEE NEW CLASSROOMS, BETTER TECHNOLOGY, AND MORE COMFORTABLE SPACES WHERE STUDENTS CAN STUDY AND WORK TOGETHER. 
          I ALSO HOPE IT WILL HAVE EVERYTHING STUDENTS NEED TO LEARN AND PREPARE FOR COLLEGE. 
          I WANT FUTURE STUDENTS TO WALK INTO THE NEW SCHOOL AND FEEL EXCITED ABOUT LEARNING AND PROUD TO BE SPARTANS. 
          I BELIEVE THAT STUDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY DESERVE A MODERN SCHOOL BECAUSE OUR EDUCATION MATTERS. 
          MA MATTERS JUST AS MUCH AS ANYONE ELSE'S. 
          WE DESERVE A SCHOOL WHERE WE FEEL SAFE, COMFORTABLE, AND READY TO LEARN. 
          HAVING A MODERN BUILDING WITH NEW CLASSROOMS AND MATERIALS CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. 
          IT COULD ALSO HELP STUDENTS FEEL MORE MOTIVATED AND GIVE THEM A BETTER ENVIRONMENT TO FOCUS ON THEIR EDUCATION, OUR COMMUNITY TO SERVICE SCHOOL THAT SHOWS PEOPLE HOW MUCH POTENTIAL OUR STUDENTS HAVE. 
          IN THE END, I WANT TO ASK YOU TO SUPPORT SAMUEL AND OUR COMMUNITY AND NEW SCHOOL WILL NOT ONLY HELP THE STUDENTS WHO ATTEND SAMUEL RIGHT NOW, BUT IT WOULD ALSO HELP THE STUDENTS WHO WILL COME HERE IN THE FUTURE. 
          WE ALL DESERVE THE CHANCE TO LEARN IN A SCHOOL THAT WE CAN BE PROUD OF. 
          BUILDING A NEW SCHOOL WILL SHOW STUDENTS THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE IN US AND WANT US TO, TO SEE US BE SUCCESSFUL. 
          I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SPEAKER. 
          MY NAME IS KANIA SCOTT. 
          MY ADDRESS IS 7 6 2 5 HUME DRIVE. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. 
          I AM A, I AM A SENIOR AT WW SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL. 
          I JUST WANNA START OFF BY SAYING, BEING A SAMUEL SPARTAN, IT'S MUCH MORE THAN A LOGO OR A SIMPLE SAYING. 
          IT IS A GENUINE COMMUNITY. 
          WE AT SAMUEL UNITE UNDER A SAMUEL SPARTAN, GETS PRIDE FROM THE FACULTY AND STUDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH IS WHY I CAN SAY I AM PROUD OF MY SCHOOL FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CULTURE AND PROPERLY CARE FOR ME AND MY CLASSMATES WHO GIVE IT THEIR ALL. 
          JUST TO MAKE WW SAMUEL THE PROUD AND RENOWNED SCHOOL, WE KNOW IT REALLY IS. 
          BUT YOU SEE, THIS HOPE CAN ONLY BE PROPERLY ACCOMPLISHED WHEN AN ENVIRONMENT SUITABLE FOR IT TO THRIVE. 
          THIS NEW SCHOOL WILL PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES THAT FRANKLY, I WASN'T ABLE TO EXPERIENCE IN MY FOUR YEARS AS STATED IN A QUOTE FROM FELLOW TEXAN, THE SINGER WILLIE NELSON. 
          WHEN YOU PUT YOUR LIFE IN A GOOD PLACE, GOOD THINGS FOLLOW. 
          A MODERN SCHOOL WILL PROVIDE SAMUEL WITH THE ABILITY TO DO JUST THAT. 
          MODERN SCHOOLS OFFER A RANGE OF ADVANTAGES THAT PREPARE STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD BY COMBINING TECHNOLOGY, PERSONALIZED LEARNING, AND PRACTICAL SKILLS THAT CREATING ENGAGING, INCLUSIVE AND FUTURE READY EDUCATION SYSTEM. 
          THIS IS BACKED BY DATA FROM THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS, WHICH SHOWS THAT SCHOOLS WITH HIGHER TEACHING QUALITY, STRONGER STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES AND BETTER RESOURCE ALLOCATION, CONSISTENTLY OUTPERFORM PEERS WITH MEASURABLE GAINS IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND GRADUATION RATES. 
          SO I SAY WE DESERVE THE CHANCE TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN OURSELVES AND A PROPER LOCATION AND SITUATION UNRESTRICTED. 
          SO TODAY I ASK YOU TO SUPPORT NOT JUST WW SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL, BUT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. 
          WE HOLD SUCH STRONG TIES TO DO IT NOT JUST FOR US TODAY, BUT FOR EVERY FUTURE. 
          SAMUEL'S PARDON TO COME. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SPEAKER. 
          UH, MY NAME IS ISAIAH COOK, UH, ON EIGHT 50 MILITARY PARKWAY. 
          UH, I'M A SENIOR AND A STUDENT ATHLETE AT SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL. 
          WITH BEING A SPARTAN MEANS TO ME IT'S HAVING HARD NEVER MAKING EXCUSES. 
          THIS PAST SUMMER WE HAD ISSUES WITH, YOU KNOW, HAVING PRACTICES FOR OUR SPORTS IN MULTIPLE AREAS, BUT WE NEVER LET THAT STOP US FOR OUR GOALS IN MULTIPLE FOOTBALL AND VOLLEYBALL AND SOCCER. 
          UM, WE ALSO HAD DIFFICULTIES WHEN WE FIRST CAME TO THE SCHOOL WITH TRYING TO FIND CLASSES, THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT WE DIDN'T LET THAT STOP US FROM HAVING ACADEMIC IMPROVEMENTS. 
          WHEN I'M PROUD ABOUT BEING IN MY SCHOOL IS OUR PRIDE. 
          HOW 
          [03:45:01]
WE NEVER LET ANYTHING SHAKE US, UH, ON OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT OR OUR EVENTS THAT WE HAVE AT OUR SCHOOL. 
          UM, WHAT I'M HOPING FOR THE BETTER SCHOOL IS HAVING A BETTER ENVIRONMENT AND EXPERIENCE FOR THE NEW GENERATION. 
          HELPING 'EM EXPERIENCE BETTER SCHOOL BOOKS, TECHNOLOGY, AND HAVING MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLEGE AND AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. 
          UM, WE ARE ASKING NOT JUST FOR MONEY TO SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL, BUT ALSO GIVING US BETTER PROGRAMS TO BETTER THE FUTURE OF OTHER CHILDREN IN, UH, PLEASANT GROVE, AND ALSO HELPING THEM TO REQUIRE BETTER SKILL SETS AND TRAITS FOR SCHOOL. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SPEAKER IN SUPPORT. 
          UH, HELLO. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          MY NAME IS VANESSA ELLA. 
          ADDRESS 76 25 HOME DRIVE, 75 2 2 7. 
          I AM CURRENTLY A SENIOR AT WW SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL. 
          TO ME, BEING A SPARTAN MEANS BEING PART OF A FAMILY WHERE EVERYONE IS VERY WELCOMING AND SUPPORTIVE. 
          AS A SENIOR, LOOKING BACK ON MY TIME HERE, I AM PROUD OF MY SCHOOL AND ALL THE THINGS WE CREATED AS A COMMUNITY. 
          I'M PROUD OF OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF WHO CONSTANTLY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR US, STAYING UP LATE, GIVING ADVICE, AND TREATING US LIKE FAMILY. 
          I'M PROUD OF OUR PROGRAMS, OUR SPORTS TEAM, OUR ARTS, AND MY CHEER TEAM FOR THE INCREDIBLE ENERGY WE BRING INTO EVERYTHING WE DO. 
          BUT MOST OF ALL, I AM PROUD OF MY CLASSMATES FOR THE HARD WORK THEY PUT IN EVERY SINGLE DAY AND CONSTANTLY SHOWING UP NO MATTER WHAT OBSTACLES OR LIMITED RESOURCES WE FACE. 
          AS I PREPARE TO GRADUATE SOON AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE. 
          MY HOPE FOR THE NEW SAMUEL IS THAT IT PROVIDES CURRENT AND FUTURE STUDENTS WITH THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY, EXPANDED PROGRAMS AND HIGH QUALITY RESOURCES THEY DESERVE TO THRIVE. 
          BUT EVEN MORE THAN NEW BUILDINGS, I HOPE IT PRESERVES THE HEART OF OUR SCHOOL, A SAFE, WARM ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERY STUDENT FEELS VALUED, GUIDED, AND EMPOWERED TO REACH THEIR DREAMS. WHY DO THE STUDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY DISCOVER MODERN SCHOOL? BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS HAVE PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THAT WE HAVE THE DRIVE, THE TALENT, AND THE SILENCE TO SUCCEED. 
          IF OUR STUDENTS CAN ACHIEVE INCREDIBLE THINGS WITH LIMITED RESOURCES, JUST IMAGINE WHAT FUTURE SPARTANS WILL ACCOMPLISH WHEN GIVEN STATE-OF-THE-ART TOOLS AND FACILITIES OUR STUDENTS DESERVE A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT MATCHES THEIR POTENTIAL, RESPECTS THEIR DEDICATION, AND GIVES THEM EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO EXCEL. 
          SO TODAY I ASK YOU TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING WW SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL. 
          STAND BESIDE US, ADVOCATE FOR OUR YOUTH AND INVEST IN OUR PROGRAMS. WHEN YOU SUPPORT A SCHOOL, YOU ARE, YOU AREN'T JUST BUILDING A FACILITY, YOU ARE INVESTING IN FUTURE LEADERS, SCHOLARS, ATHLETES, ARTISTS AND CHAMPIONS WHO WILL SHAPE TOMORROW. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          NEXT SPEAKER. 
          HELLO, MY NAME IS AVIANA WALKER. 
          MY ADDRESS IS 7 6 2 5 KING DRIVE, 7 5 2 2 7. 
          WHAT BEING SPARTAN MEANS TO ME IS ABOUT PRIDE. 
          IT MEANS CARING FOR THE HISTORY AND SPIRIT OF WW SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL AND TAKING PRIDE IN REPRESENTING THE BLUE AND GOLD IN EVERYTHING YOU DO. 
          BEING PART OF SAMUEL NATION MEANS STANDING BY YOUR PEERS, LIFTING UP EACH OTHER. 
          IT MEANS HOLDING HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR YOURSELF AND FRIENDS, PURSUING YOUR GOALS WITH THE PURPOSE, AND PREPARING TO MAKE MEANINGFUL IMPACT AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. 
          WHAT COMES AFTER HIGH SCHOOL? WHAT MIGHT BE THERE FOR YOU AFTER HIGH SCHOOL? WHAT I AM PROUD OF ABOUT MY SCHOOL IS THAT MY CLASSMATES, EVEN IN SPIRIT WEEKS CLUB EVENTS ARE BIG PROJECTS. 
          THE SHARED ENERGY MAKES THE SCHOOL A LIGHT PLACE TO LEARN AND HAVE FUN. 
          ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT SCHOOL IS HOW CLASSMATES STEP UP FOR EACH OTHER. 
          IT CAN BE SHARING NOTES AFTER A SICK DAY, FORMING STUDY GROUPS BEFORE A BIG EXAM, OR CHEERING OTHERS ON AS SPORTS GAMES OR PERFORMANCES. 
          WHAT I HOPE THE NEW SAMUEL WILL PROVIDE FOR CURRENT AND FUTURE STUDENTS IS A BIGGER MODERN GYM, EXPANDED WEIGHT ROOMS AND UPGRADED FIELD ACTIVITIES TO SHOW MORE SCHOOL, SCHOOL PRIDE AND GREAT STUDENT ENGAGEMENT. 
          IT SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE MODERATE SURVEILLANCE PLATFORMS AND UPGRADE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS TO ENSURE A SAFEST CAMPUS FOR OUR SAMUEL NATION. 
          STUDENTS IN EVERY COMMUNITY DESERVES A MODERN ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE A SCHOOL BUILDING IS MORE THAN JUST FOUR WALLS. 
          IT IS A SPACE FOR LEARNING SAFETY, GROWTH, AND FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES. 
          OUR SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY IMPROVE WHEN WE, WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER. 
          WHETHER IT'S VOLUNTEERING OUR TIME, ATTENDING LOCAL EVENTS, OR SUPPORTING OUR UPCOMING FUNDRAISERS. 
          EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS, UH, BUILD A BETTER ENVIRONMENT. 
          THIS, YOUR SUPPORT WILL HELP. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SPEAKER.

          I AM A SENIOR AT SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL. 
          BEING A SPORTING TO ME MEANS BEING ABLE TO GET UP EVERY DAY, SHOW WHO YOU ARE, GIVE IT YOUR ALL, AND CONTINUE TO PROVE YOURSELF. 
          I'M VERY PROUD OF MY SCHOOL FOR ALWAYS PUSHING STUDENTS TO DO THEIR BEST AND ENCOURAGING US TO GIVE IT ALL. 
          SAMUEL HAS SHOWN ME AND MY CLASSMATES THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING THE MOST OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE. 
          I'M ALSO VERY PROUD OF MY CLASSMATES FOR CONTINUING TO SHOW UP, SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER, AND TAKE THINGS ONE DAY AT A TIME. 
          SEEING EVERYONE GROW AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD HAS MADE ME PROUD TO BE A SPARTAN. 
          AS A STUDENT ATHLETE AT SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL, I AM ALSO VERY PROUD OF OUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT AND THE, AND THE DEDICATION, TEAMWORK, AND DISCIPLINE THAT SPORTS TEACH US. 
          ATHLETICS ARE AN AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY GIVE STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES, BUILD CONFIDENCE, AND REPRESENT SAMUEL WITH PRIDE. 
          AS AN ATHLETE, I BELIEVE WE DESERVE A MODERN, SAFE, AND SUPPORTIVE SPACE WHERE WE COULD PRACTICE, COMPETE, AND CONTINUE TO GROW. 
          WE WOULD LIKE A PLACE FOR SPORTS WHERE WE, WHERE OUR ATHLETES CAN DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS, OUR TEAMS, OUR TEAMS CAN PREPARE FOR COMPETITIONS AND FUTURE SPARTANS CAN HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED. 
          A NEW SAMUEL BUILDING SHOULD SUPPORT NOT ONLY ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS, BUT ALSO THE ATHLETIC PROGRAM THAT BRINGS THEIR SCHOOL TOGETHER. 
          I HOPE THE NEW SAMUEL BUILDING PROVIDES CURRENT AND FUTURE STUDENTS WITH EVEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO SUCCEED THROUGH MODERN FACILITIES, FLEXIBLE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, CAREER CONNECTED PATHWAYS, AND IMPROVE ATHLETIC SPACES. 
          I BELIEVE THIS NEW SPACE CAN INSPIRE STUDENTS TO EXPLORE THEIR INTERESTS, PREPARE FOR THEIR FUTURES, AND CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THE PARTNER SPIRIT THAT MAKES THEIR SCHOOL SPECIAL. 
          I THINK OUR STUDENTS DESERVE A MODERN SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT THAT SHOWS THE VALUE OF THEIR COMMUNITY, PLACES ON THEIR FUTURE. 
          UPGRADING FACILITIES IMPROVE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT BY PROVIDING FLEXIBLE CLASSROOMS, WHILE ALSO MAKING STUDENTS FEEL SAFE. 
          BY HAVING PHYSICAL SECURITY, HAVING A CLEAN AND MODERN SPACE GIVES US THE PRIDE AND TOOLS WE NEED TO GET READY FOR THE REAL WORLD. 
          AND IT SHOWS US THAT WE CARE FOR IT. 
          SUPPORTING US HELPS GET OUR COMMUNITY AND ACHIEVING OUR GOALS MAKES A BIG IMPACT IN OUR LIFE. 
          SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL IS MORE THAN A BUILDING, IT IS PART OF THE IDENTITY AND HISTORY OF THIS COMMUNITY. 
          WE ASK YOU TO SUPPORT ZONING, KZ DASH 26 DASH 0 0 0 1 6 6 AND HELP US MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEW SAMUEL HIGH SCHOOL FOR OUR STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. 
          THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU NEXT SPEAKER. 
          HELLO, MY NAME IS MINISTER DOMINIC ALEXANDER, 1808 SOUTH GOOD LATIMER EXPRESSWAY, DALLAS, TEXAS 7 5 2 1 6. 
          I ALSO SERVE AS VICE CHAIR OF THE DALLAS ID BOMB BOARD. 
          UM, I'M GONNA TELL YOU THIS STORY. 
          UM, IN 2015, AT THE AGE OF 25, I ORGANIZED THE KIDS TO WALK OUT OF SOUTH OAK CLIFF HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR SCHOOL. 
          UM, AT THAT TIME, OF COURSE, BEING A GRADUATE OF DALLAS, ISDI HAVE FIRSTHAND SEEN THE GROWTH OVER THE YEARS INSIDE OF DALLAS ISD TO CREATE THIS PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY, THE ALUMNI, THE STUDENTS, THE PARENTS ARE ALL INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS. 
          I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEE MORE THAN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF PROJECTS. 
          JOHN LEWIS, URBANDALE PARK, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, PINKSTON HIGH SCHOOL, SO MANY AMAZING NEW BILLS OF OPPORTUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES THAT OF COURSE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE SOCIAL ECONOMIC ELEMENT, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO THAT ALL DAY. 
          WE HAVE CREATED CHARETTE PROCESSES TO MAKE SURE THAT COMMUNITIES ARE INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS. 
          THOSE CHARETTE PROCESS HAVE ALUMNI, THEY HAVE PARENTS IN THERE, THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, THE ARCHITECT, THE PLANNER. 
          ALL OF THE INDIVIDUALS ARE AT ONE TABLE ASKING FOR THE THINGS THAT'S NECESSARY NEEDED FOR THOSE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS. 
          THOSE ARE THE PROCESS. 
          THOSE ARE THE PROCESSES AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THIS PUBLIC ENTITY AND THIS RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          ONE WOULD SAY, IS THIS ALL WORTH IT TODAY? IT IS WORTH IT BECAUSE WHEN WE PASS A $3.5 BILLION BOND AND WE LOOK AT THE AUDIT REPORT OF THAT AND WE SEE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING WASTED OF PUBLIC TAXPAYERS. 
          SEE, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, YOU GOTTA REALIZE THIS IS TAXPAYER'S FUND NOT A PRIVATE ENTITY. 
          NOT THIS IS OUR MONEY. 
          RIGHT? AND WHEN I SEE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, TENS AND 20 MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GOING THROUGH A PROCESS THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS AS A ORGANIZER AND A PERSON PRESIDENT OF NEXT GENERATION NETWORK, I TAKE PERSONAL RESPONS, TAKE PERSONAL OFFENSE TO THAT, TO SAYING, HOW CAN WE SPEED THIS PROCESS? HOW CAN WE WORK COLLECTIVELY TOGETHER TO AVOID THIS TO MAKING SURE THAT THESE PROCESSES ARE NOT ESCALATING COSTS, THAT CHILDREN ARE NOT AFFECTED. 
          WHEN I ORGANIZE THE KIDS AT SOUTH OAK CLIFF HIGH SCHOOL, AND I SAY 
          [03:55:01]
THIS BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THESE KIDS DID THAT YOU SEE HERE TODAY. 
          I REMEMBER TELLING THEM, YOU ARE SPEAKING UP TODAY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. 
          SOMEBODY. 
          THESE BABIES ARE ONLY SPEAKING UP FOR THE NEXT SAMUEL KID. 
          THANK YOU SIR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANKS YOUR TIME. 
          ALRIGHT, NEXT SPEAKER IN SUPPORT ANY SPEAKERS IN OPPOSITION. 
          OKAY, COMMISSIONER SERATO, DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? YES, MR. CHAIR. 
          UM, IN THE CASE OF Z 2 6 0 0 0 1 6 6, I MOVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND FOLLOW STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. 
          AND I DO HAVE SOME COMMENTS IF YOU HAVE SOME TIME. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR MOTION. 
          COMMISSIONER SERATO, YOUR SECOND VICE COMMISSIONER, SIMS, UH, YOUR COMMENTS? UM, I HAVE A LITTLE BIT TO SAY. 
          SORRY. 
          UM, I WANNA BEGIN BY THANKING THE STUDENTS FOR BEING HERE TODAY. 
          UM, I KNOW IT WAS A LONG WAIT FOR YOU GUYS AND YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. 
          UM, AND I'M GONNA KIND OF REPEAT SOME OF THE THINGS I'VE SAID IN THE PAST 'CAUSE THERE ARE NEW PEOPLE IN THE ROOM. 
          UM, I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN PLEASANT GROVE. 
          UM, I'VE SPENT 38 OF MY 42 YEARS LIVING IN PLEASANT GROVE. 
          I'M RAISING MY FAMILY THERE. 
          NOW. 
          I'M A PRODUCT OF DISD. 
          UM, AND I WAS A TEACHER IN DISD FOR 13 YEARS. 
          SO, UM, WHILE I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING HERE AND RECEIVING ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS, UM, I HAVE RECEIVED LETTERS FROM PARENTS AND, UH, MESSAGES FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MY POSITION ON SAMUEL. 
          UM, I HONESTLY D DON'T NEED A WHOLE LOT OF CONVINCING. 
          I KNOW SAMUEL NEEDS A NEW BUILDING. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I'VE EVEN RECEIVED LIKE FACEBOOK SCREENSHOTS OF PARENTS. 
          YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE VERY UPSET AND I UNDERSTAND. 
          UM, BUT US DELAYING THE VOTE OVER THE LAST MONTH, UH, HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT, UM, WHAT STUDENTS DESERVE OR DON'T DESERVE. 
          I KNOW SAMUEL DESERVES A NEW BUILDING. 
          UM, YOU'VE NEEDED IT FOR, SINCE I WAS A KID GOING TO NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE. 
          I, I USED TO GO TO SAMUEL AND I WOULD SEE THE CONDITIONS OF THE BUILDING EVEN BACK THEN. 
          SO I KNOW SAMUEL NEEDS A NEW BUILDING AND YOU DESERVE IT FOR ALL OF THE REASONS THAT YOU SAID TODAY. 
          UM, BUT THIS COMMISSION HAS NOT DELAYED THE VOTE, UM, BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING IN THAT, IN THAT SENSE. 
          UM, IT'S BECAUSE WE WEREN'T BEING PROVIDED WITH WHAT WE NEEDED FROM, UH, DISD ADMIN AT 9,400. 
          WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR PLANS AND DOCUMENTS FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. 
          I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR THINGS FOR EVEN LONGER. 
          UM, AND WE JUST RECEIVED, UH, NEW DOCUMENTS LAST WEEK THAT I'M SATISFIED WITH. 
          BUT THERE ARE 13 OTHER COMMISSIONERS HERE WHO, UM, ARE ALLOWED TO VOICE THEIR OPINION ON THOSE AS WELL. 
          SO, UM, WHILE I DID MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL TODAY, UM, I DON'T WANNA HOLD, UH, THIS CASE ANY LONGER. 
          I WANT SAMUEL TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE I'M SATISFIED WITH WHAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED. 
          I, I, I EXPECT THAT NOT EVERYBODY ON THE COMMISSION WILL BE SATISFIED WITH THAT. 
          UM, I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT IF THIS CASE IS APPROVED TODAY, UM, IT'S NOT IN ANY WAY SETTING A PRECEDENT FOR FUTURE CASES, UM, THAT ARE COMING FROM DISD. 
          WE HAD A VERY LONG MEETING THIS MORNING WITH DISD DISCUSSING, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THEY HAVE WITH CONSTRUCTION AND EXPECTATIONS FROM THE CITY AND WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE. 
          WE, WE DISCUSSED A LOT OF THAT THIS MORNING. 
          UM, AND I THINK KIND OF THOSE MINIMUM STANDARDS THAT WE ARE, YOU KNOW, ASKING TO SEE ARE STILL BEING DRAWN OUT. 
          UM, SO I DON'T WANT THIS TO NECESSARILY SET A PRECEDENT FOR ALL OF THE SCHOOLS COMING FORWARD. 
          'CAUSE EVERY SCHOOL WILL BE DIFFERENT. 
          UM, AND SO I, YEAH, I, I WANNA SEE SAMUEL HAPPEN AND I, I HOPE, UM, THAT IT, YOU KNOW, THAT THIS CASE DOES MOVE FORWARD TODAY. 
          BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I'M, I DO RESPECT ALL OF THE, THE COMMISSIONER'S OPINIONS ON THIS, AND THAT'S IT. 
          VICE CHAIR, HERBERT. 
          YEAH, I'LL BE QUICK. 
          UM, AND I WANNA SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE STUDENTS TODAY. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TODAY. 
          YOU, UM, REPRESENTED NOT ONLY YOU, BUT A LOT OF SCHOOLS IN DISD THAT WILL FOLLOW YOU, THAT TO THE SPEAKERS, YOU MADE ME PROUD. 
          YOU PRESENTED DATA, YOU USED RESOURCES, AND I THINK I HEARD A REFERENCE OF WILLIE NELSON IN THERE. 
          SO, VERY COMMENDABLE, COMMENDABLE. 
          UM, I WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW THAT THE TEAM THAT IS FIGHTING FOR YOU, UM, IS PROBABLY LEGENDARY IN DISD. 
          UM, MR. ALFRED, MS. THURMAN, THE STAFF, THE COMMUNITY, UM, HAVING MINISTER ALEXANDER, COME AND SPEAK ON YOUR BEHALF AND EDUCATE US ON WHAT THE CHARADE LOOKS LIKE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, THESE ARE LEGENDS IN THE COMMUNITY, UM, IN FOOTSTEPS THAT I SUGGEST YOU GUYS FOLLOW. 
          UM, YOU OWN THE ROOM. 
          THIS ROOM BELONGS TO YOU, SO WALK INTO IT LIKE IT DOES. 
          OKAY? THAT'S IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? COMMISSIONER HAMPTON. 
          [04:00:01]
THANK YOU. 
          ACTUALLY HAD A CLARIFICATION FOR STAFF. 
          PLEASE. 
          THE MOTION SAYS, UH, WAS SUBJECT TO STAFF'S RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS. 
          THE CONDITIONS AREN'T CLEAR IF THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT'S INCLUDED IN OUR DOCKET IS PART OF WHAT'S BEING CONSIDERED TODAY. 
          YEAH, I WOULD SAY SO. 
          THE CONDITIONS IN THE DOCKET STILL SAY THAT THE T THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN IS FINALIZED AT PERMITTING. 
          THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US, UM, IS PROBABLY WHERE THEY'RE AT, BUT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO REFINE IT, UM, UNTIL THEY, AS THEY GO THROUGH PERMITTING. 
          BUT IS THE APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE BEFORE US TODAY? I UNDERSTAND THE MOTION WAS FOR THE CONDITIONS AS POSTED IN THE DOCKET, WHICH INCLUDES THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SUBMITTAL OF THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN AT PERMITTING, FINALIZATION OF THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN AT PERMITTING. 
          WE POSTED THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA FOR, FOR INFORMATION. 
          UH, WE WANTED THAT TO BE OUT THERE AND, AND KIND OF LIKE WE SAID EARLIER TODAY, IT, IT IS COMMON LIKE, LIKE A LOT OF TRAFFIC REVIEWS. 
          IT CAN EVOLVE AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          AND THAT'S HOW THE CONDITIONS ARE ON RECORD RIGHT NOW. 
          AND JUST AS A FOLLOW UP, I DON'T SEE A REQUIREMENT FOR A RESUBMITTAL, WHICH HAS BEEN TYPICAL ON MANY OF OUR OTHER CASES, IS THAT THAT'S, NO, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT IN HERE, UM, THROUGH THE WAY THAT THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN IS CONFIGURED RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S NOT PART OF THE CONDITIONS IN FRONT OF US. 
          UH, COULD YOU REFRESH MY MEMORY WHAT THE, UM, PRIOR STANDARD WAS? I BELIEVE IT WAS ODD NUMBER YEARS. 
          UH, IT USUALLY WE WOULD PEG IT TO THE FIRST YEAR AFTER OPERATIONS AND WHICHEVER YEAR THAT WOULD BE, AND THEN THEY WOULD DO IT EVERY TWO YEARS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          UM, I DON'T WANT TO THROW A WRENCH IN ANYTHING. 
          UM, WE'VE DEFINITELY HEARD THAT THOSE ACROSS THE BOARD, UM, CAN BE HARD TO GET COMPLIANCE ON. 
          UH, I, I'M NOT GONNA, I DON'T THINK, YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO APPLY THAT TO SAMUEL OR A-D-I-S-D JUST ACROSS THE BOARD THAT THOSE, THOSE, UM, ONGOING UPDATES ARE, ARE HARD TO GET COMPLIANCE ON. 
          UH, I THINK THAT'S A BROADER DISCUSSION AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS, UH, STANDARDIZATION PROCESS. 
          BUT, UH, DID JUST WANT TO THROW THAT IN. 
          I GUESS I WOULD, UM, WOULD THE COMMISSIONER BE OPEN TO A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO REVISE THAT CONDITION TO BE SUBJECT TO THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN AS INCLUDED IN THE DOCKET WITH THE RESUBMITTAL? UM, YEAH. 
          EVERY ODD NUMBER YEAR POST OCCUPANCY FURTHER, YES. 
          WE CAN ADD THAT AMENDMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO JUST TO IMP UH, UH, EDITORIAL, UH, CLARIFICATION, I THINK THAT WE HAVE, UH, LANGUAGE THAT WE'VE SEEN ON OTHER, UH, DISD CASES WHERE THERE IS A TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN REQUIRED, NOT AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING, BUT REQUIRED AT THE TIME THAT IS TIED TO THE COUNCIL APPROVAL, AND THEN THE SORT OF STANDARD, UM, THINGS THAT COME DOWN THE ROAD. 
          THAT WAS THE INTENT OF MY, UM, RECOMMENDATION. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I WILL DEFER TO STAFF ON THE REVISED LANGUAGE AND AGAIN, IF ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMMISSIONER, THAT'S JUST THE DIRECTION I'M ASKING FOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR, I JUST ADD COMMENTS. 
          I WANNA ECHO MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS. 
          YOU ALL HAVE, UM, GOTTEN TO SEE, UM, HOW WE SPEND OUR DAYS ON ALTERNATING THURSDAYS. 
          AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING HERE AND ADVOCATING, UM, FOR YOUR SCHOOL AND FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, THAT'S HOW A NUMBER OF US ACTUALLY STARTED BEFORE WE WERE APPOINTED TO SERVE IN THIS POSITION. 
          SO LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU, UM, DOWN HERE IN THE FUTURE AS WELL, AND MAYBE SITTING BEHIND THIS HORSESHOE ONE DAY. 
          UM, THE DISCUSSION, I DON'T THINK YOU ALL WERE HERE NECESSARILY, UM, FOR OUR BRIEFING THIS MORNING, UM, BUT PART OF WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH IS, UM, SUPPORTING DISD THROUGH THE CITY, UM, AS THEY HAVE 80 PLUS SCHOOLS THAT ARE COMING ONLINE AND TRYING TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO SUPPORT ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES, UM, AND OUR ROLE AS PLAN COMMISSIONERS. 
          AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THAT DIALOGUE, UM, WITH DI DISD AND ALL OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS THROUGHOUT OUR CITY. 
          UM, AS MY OTHER COMMISSIONERS SAY, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT I THINK, UM, COULD BE STRENGTHENED THAT, UM, WE ROUTINELY CONSIDER, UM, WITHIN OUR PROJECTS WHILE PROVIDING THE FLEXIBILITY THAT IS NEEDED AS DESIGNER OR DEVELOPED. 
          UM, I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS MOTION, UM, BUT I CERTAINLY DO HOPE THAT WE ARE CONTINUING THIS DIALOGUE ON A BROADER SCALE, UM, TO BRING THAT CONSISTENCY THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT AND PREDICTABILITY FOR THE SCHOOL, FOR OUR COMMUNITIES AND THIS BODY. 
          [04:05:01]
SO THANK YOU MR. CHAIR AND THANK YOU COMMISSIONER SERRATO FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK ON THIS COMMISSIONER HALL. 
          UH, YES. 
          UH, THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TODAY. 
          IT'S SORT OF COOL TO SEE YOU. 
          UH, I WILL BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION. 
          UH, WE DID GET SOME INFORMATION THIS WEEK FROM, UH, UH, FROM THE APPLICANT AND, UH, I SUSPECT IT'S NOT EVERYTHING THAT WE WANTED THAT WE DISCUSSED THIS MORNING, BUT IT IS A GOOD START AND IT WAS SUFFICIENT FOR ME. 
          UM, I ALSO HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO ONE OF THE DISD BOARD MEMBERS THIS WEEK ABOUT SOME OF OUR CONCERNS AND MY THOUGHTS ON THESE THINGS, AND I VERY MUCH APPRECIATED THAT CONVERSATION. 
          UH, SO YES, I WILL SUPPORT THE MOTION. 
          ANYONE ELSE WITH COMMENTS? I'LL JUST, UM, OH, COMMISSIONER WHEELER REAGAN. 
          UM, I, 100% WILL BE SUPPORTING THE, UH, MOTION. 
          UM, AND I, I, I DON'T KNOW AS MANY PLACES IN DALLAS AT THIS CURRENT TIME, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST THREE YEARS THAT DISD HAS DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB AT IMPROVING THE, ESPECIALLY THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN AS IT HAS IN THE PLEASANT GROVE, UH, GREATER, PLEASANT GROVE AREA. 
          UM, AS I TOLD, TOLD YOU ALL MANY OF THE TIMES MY MOM LIVES, UM, IN, IN THE VICINITY OF BREWTON AND BRUTON AND, UM, AND JIM MILLER. 
          AND SO I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITIES FROM RUNNING THE ERRANDS FROM HER, SEEING AT LEAST THREE OF THOSE SCHOOLS WHO USED TO HAVE TERRIBLE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT. 
          UM, WE ARE IN THAT AGE WHERE MORE PARENTS ARE PICKING UP PEOPLE, PICKING UP KIDS FROM SCHOOL, UM, AND LESS ARE WALKING HOME. 
          AND WHAT I'VE SEEN JUST FROM THE, THE COMMITMENT FROM DISD AT THOSE THREE SCHOOLS, NATHAN HAWTHORNE, UM, JOHN QUINCY, ADAMS, AND URBANDALE, THAT YOU CAN DRIVE DOWN THE STREET PRETTY FREQUENTLY DURING THE HOURS OR PICK UP AND, AND NOT BE HELD UP 'CAUSE OF PARENTS. 
          BUT THOSE CAMPUSES ARE AMAZING AND HAVE DONE SOME AMAZING WORK IN THAT AREA AND CONTINUE TO DO WORK IN THE AREA. 
          SO KUDOS TO THE ISD, UM, AND HOPE GOING FORWARD THAT, UM, WE COULD, WE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WE NEED FROM THEM PRIOR TO CPC SO THAT WE WON'T BE HOLDING THEM UP AND HOLDING UP THE EFFORTS OF OUR, OUR STUDENTS. 
          ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I JUST WANTED TO BRIEFLY COMMENT FIRST OFF, THANK YOU SAMUEL STUDENTS, ALL OF YOU FOR COMING DOWN. 
          THOSE OF YOU WHO SPOKE REALLY, YOU KNOW, WELL, WELL, WELL THOUGHT WELL PUT TOGETHER. 
          AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T SPEAK, YOUR PRESENCE STILL, UM, SAYS A LOT EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T COME DOWN TO THE, UM, PODIUM. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHOW UP AT CITY HALL WHEN THINGS THAT YOU CARE ABOUT AND AFFECT YOUR LIFE, UM, DO COME UP. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE HIT A COUPLE OF SPEED BUMPS IN THIS PROCESS ALONG THE WAY SINCE SAMUEL WAS THE FIRST SCHOOL THAT CAME TO US AND THE BOND PROGRAM THAT WAS APPROVED EARLIER THIS YEAR. 
          SO, UM, I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO COMMISSIONER SERATO FOR HAVING TO, UM, LEAD THE CHARGE ON THE, THE FIRST ONE. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, I KNOW PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THINGS GET STIRRED UP ON THE INTERNET AND PEOPLE CAN SAY REALLY UNFORTUNATE THINGS. 
          UM, BUT I I I'M SORRY THAT YOU KNOW THAT THAT HAPPENED, BUT, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW THAT I THOUGHT YOU CONDUCTED YOURSELF THOUGHTFULLY AND WITH A LOT OF INTEGRITY THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS AND, YOU KNOW, ALWAYS DO AS A CPC MEMBER. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR, FOR DOING THAT AND, AND CHARGING THROUGH UNDER DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES. 
          AND I ALSO WANTED TO THANK THE BODY BOTH FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS CASE AND TODAY, UM, WITH DISD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PATH FORWARD, UM, ON, YOU KNOW, WORKING THROUGH ALL OF THESE BOND PROGRAM CASES THAT WE, WE HAVE COMING UP. 
          UM, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT MY FIRST RODEO SEEING DISD BOND CASES THROUGH CPC AND YOU KNOW, IT ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ALWAYS LITTLE BUMPS AT THE START OF THE PROCESS, SO I'M NOT DISCOURAGED BY THAT. 
          AND I THINK WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH HERE TO HAVE A REALLY SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CPC, THE CITY AND THE DISTRICT AND AM THRILLED TO SUPPORT THE MOTION AND HOPE IT GETS EXPEDITIOUSLY ONTO COUNCIL AND APPROVED. 
          ANYONE ELSE? ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SERATO. 
          SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SIMS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

          UH, HERE REPRESENTING THE OWNER OF THESE TWO LOTS THAT WE'D LIKE TO REPL INTO ONE LOT. 
          UM, IT'S AT THE CORNER OF LAKEHURST AND EDGEMERE AND HE'S GONNA GET HOPEFULLY THIS PRESENTATION LAKEHURST AS WELL. 
          YEAH. 
          NOPE. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          DOWN DOWN. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ITEM 38. 
          I'LL, UH, LET ME, I'M GONNA GO QUICK 'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME. 
          HERE'S THE REQUEST SITE. 
          UH, RIGHT NOW THIS PHOTO FROM UH, GOOGLE EARTH, I GUESS SHOWS TWO HOUSES CURRENTLY. 
          THERE'S ONLY ONE HOUSE ON THOSE TWO LOTS. 
          UM, THIS IS JUST A QUICK SORT OF THING OF, OF WHAT Y'ALL ARE HERE TO ON 8.4503. 
          I FORGOT THE NUMBERS, BUT YOU KNOW THE NUMBERS ON PLATING, UM, SURROUNDING AREA, IT'S, IT'S A NORTH DALLAS TYPICAL NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THIS IS A CORNER LOT IN THE NEXT LOT NEXT TO IT. 
          THE CORNER LOT IS STILL THERE, BUT THE HOUSE STILL THERE. 
          UM, R 10 IS THE ZONING. 
          OBVIOUSLY THE LOTS ARE ALL BIGGER THAN R 10 IN THIS SCENARIO, IN THIS AREA OF, OF DALLAS, THE CORNER LOTS ARE A LITTLE LARGER. 
          DALLAS DOESN'T HAVE WHAT MOST OTHER CITIES AROUND HERE HAVE WITH A LARGER CORNER SETBACK. 
          UM, THEREFORE NOT EVERY LOT HAS A LARGER ON THE CORNER, BUT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THERE ARE LARGER QUARTER LOTS. 
          UM, THERE'S THE TWO LOTS TOGETHER THAT, THAT WANT TO BE COMBINED INTO ONE. 
          UM, IT'S A TYPICAL, UH, GRIDS PATTERN PROBABLY IN THE FIFTIES, MAYBE THE LATE FORTIES. 
          UM, THERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY. 
          THERE'S THE EXISTING HOUSE THAT'S STILL THERE. 
          THE OTHER HOUSE HAS BEEN REMOVED. 
          UM, SO WHAT WE DID IS WE LOOKED AT OTHER HOUSES IN THE, UH, SURROUNDING AREA WITH LOTS AND YOU CAN SEE IN THAT PRESENTATION, UM, THERE ARE OTHER COMBINED LOTS IN THERE. 
          THEY WERE EITHER COMBINED BY PLATS. 
          UM, WE FOUND SOME PLATS THAT, THAT WERE APPROVED IN THE PLAN COMMISSION OR THEY WERE COMBINED BY, IN DALLAS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SELL LOTS AND PARTS OF LOTS BY MEETS AND BOUNDS AS OPPOSED TO OTHER CITIES AROUND THE STATE. 
          DALLAS ALLOWS THAT. 
          IT'S ALLOWED BY STATE LAW AND DALLAS DID NOT REMOVE THAT, UH, AS AN OPTION. 
          SO ALL OF THOSE ARE, UH, ARE LARGER LOTS AND THE CLOSEST ONE IS REALLY JUST ACROSS EDGE MIRROR AND TWO HOUSES DOWN WHERE THEY COMBINE TWO LOTS. 
          UM, THAT'S THAT 1 64, 59. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE, ARE LARGER LOTS WHERE THEY COMBINE HALVES, MAYBE 20 FEET OF THE LOT NEXT DOOR, 30 FEET OF THE LOT NEXT DOOR. 
          BUT THEY WERE COMBINING LOTS INTO MAKING A LARGER LOT. 
          UM, THIS IS THE ONE THAT'S UM, UH, ON MI MIMOSA. 
          YOU CAN SEE THERE THAT THEY TOOK TWO LOTS AND COMBINED THEM INTO ONE LOT. 
          UM, AND, AND THAT IS A SIMILAR SCENARIO OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. 
          AS YOU SEE ON THE PICTURE THERE, THERE THEY TOOK THE ONE LOT, THEY BOUGHT THE LOT NEXT DOOR, THEY PROBABLY LIKELY REMOVED THE HOUSE IF IT WASN'T SOMETHING ELSE. 
          AND THEN THEY'RE JUST USING IT FOR AN ADDITION TO THEIR LOT. 
          AND WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS THAT SIMILAR SITUATION. 
          WE'RE GONNA LEAVE THE HOUSE THAT WE OCCUPY NOW ON THE CORNER AND THEN THE OTHER LOT WILL JUST BE A VACANT LOT. 
          IT'LL BE LANDSCAPED. 
          UM, THEY'LL PUT NOT EVEN A TENNIS COURT OR PICKLEBALL, UH, OF THE COURT OF CHOICE, BUT IT'S JUST FOR THAT PURPOSE. 
          UM, AND I'LL GO A LITTLE FURTHER. 
          LET ME GO. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS THE PURPOSE RIGHT NOW. 
          THERE'S SOME DRAINAGE PROBLEMS ON THAT LOT NEXT DOOR. 
          UM, AND THE HOUSE WAS REMOVED. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO, THEY'VE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH MOSQUITOES IN THE 
          [04:25:01]
NEIGHBORHOOD FROM THAT. 
          UM, SO THEY REMOVED THE HOUSE AND NOW THEY JUST WANT TO HAVE IT FOR AN OUTDOOR AREA FOR TO, FOR THEIR KIDS TO PLAY AND STUFF OF THAT NATURE. 
          THAT CONCLUDES YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, NEXT SPEAKER IN SUPPORT SPEAKERS AND OPPOSITION COMMISSIONER HALL YOUR MOTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. 
          IN THE MATTER OF PLAT 2 6 0 0 0 2 6 1, I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THAT WE GO AGAINST STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL AND THAT WE APPROVE, APPROVE THE REQUEST SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE DOCKET. 
          AND I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS IF I GET A SECOND. 
          DO YOU HAVE A COMMISSIONER? SIMS HAS SECONDED THE MOTION. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          YEAH, I, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT REALLY ALLOWED TO DIG INTO THESE THINGS VERY MUCH, BUT THIS IS AN AREA THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH FREQUENTLY ON, IN CARVE ON BICYCLE AND ON FOOT. 
          AND, UM, MR. CROWLEY IS RIGHT, THERE'S QUITE A FEW OF THESE DOUBLE LOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD NOW AND IT EXTENDS DOWN TO, THIS IS PRESTON HOLLOW NORTH. 
          IT EXTENDS DOWN TO PRESTON HOLLOW EAST AND INTO UNIVERSITY PARK AS WELL. 
          SO WE'RE SEEING THIS KIND OF STUFF DONE FREQUENTLY AND I DON'T, I DON'T SEE A REASON TO DENY THIS REQUEST. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? UM, I WILL CHIME IN. 
          I AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE MOTION TODAY. 
          I THINK THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE SAT WITH ME AROUND THIS BODY FOR A WHILE KNOW THAT 8.503 IS NOT MY FAVORITE PROVISION OF THE CITY CODE, UH, OR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE, BUT IT IS ONE THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, IT ASKS WHETHER THE RELA IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PATTERN IN THE AREA. 
          AND FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN HERE, UM, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, RE PLATTING THIS FROM TWO LOTS TO, TO ONE IS, IS GOING TO BE INCONSISTENT. 
          I REALIZE THAT THERE'S A BIT OF SUBJECTIVITY. 
          I'M OFTEN WILLING TO GET CREATIVE IN FIGURING OUT, YOU KNOW, HOW SOMETHING FITS WITHIN THE PATTERN OR WHETHER THERE'S A PATTERN AT ALL. 
          BUT FOR THIS ONE, THE PATTERN SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR CUT TO ME BASED ON EVERYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN, INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME OTHER LOTS IN THE AREA THAT HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, RE PLATTERED TO A DOUBLE LOT. 
          BUT ULTIMATELY I, I THINK THE PATTERN STILL HOLDS, UM, WHERE, WHERE THIS LOT IS. 
          SO I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE MOTION. 
          COMMISSIONER CARPENTER, I ALSO WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE MOTION FOR THE SAME REASONS. 
          COMMISSIONER KAUFMAN. 
          OH, YOUR, YOUR MICROPHONE. 
          I'M ALSO NOT GONNA SUPPORT THE MOTION FOR THE SAME REASONS. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALRIGHT, LET'S, UM, TAKE A VOTE. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          I. 
          ANY OPPOSED SAY NAY. 
          NAY, NAY, NAY. 
          ALRIGHT, THE MOTION FAILS. 
          I BELIEVE THERE WERE TWO IN FAVOR, SIMS AND HALL. 
          WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? COMMISSIONER HALL? OR WOULD YOU LIKE SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE A MOTION? UH, WERE THERE TWO OR THREE IN IN FAVOR? TWO. 
          THREE. 
          OKAY. 
          THREE. 
          THREE IN FAVOR? UH, KUNZ HALL AND SIMS. OH, COX.

          OKAY, MR. CHAIR IN THE MATTER OF PLAT 26 0 0 0 2 6 1, I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND, UH, AND, UH, DENIED THE REQUEST AS PER STAFF. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR MOTION.

          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          YES. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR, FOR THIS MOMENT HERE AT THE, AT THE END OF THE MEETING. 
          UM, THE CALENDAR THAT'S PUT FORWARD, UH, PRIMARILY IS, UH, THE SAME AMOUNT OF MEETINGS AS, UH, THIS CURRENT YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH. 
          UH, FOR THE MOST PART IT ACTUALLY JUST SHIFTS MOST OF THE MEETINGS ABOUT A DAY OR SO. 
          UM, SO IT'S KIND OF A SIMILAR, UM, KIND OF ORIENTATION AS, AS THE PAST YEAR. 
          UH, THE, THE MAIN NOTABLE THINGS IS THAT IT HAS TWO, 
          [04:30:01]
TWO WEEKS WITHOUT A MEETING IN JANUARY THAT'S SIMILAR TO HOW THIS YEAR BEGAN. 
          UM, AND THEN IT, IT HAS A MEETING, ONLY ONE MEETING IN JULY THAT IS, IS PUSHED TOWARDS THE END OF THAT MONTH. 
          UM, GIVES OUR STAFF A GOOD TIME TO HAVE, UH, TIME OFF DURING, UH, JULY 4TH. 
          THAT IS PRETTY COMMON, UM, FOR OUR STAFF TO TAKE TIME IN THAT EARLY PART AND OUR COUNCILS OFF, SO WE CAN'T MOVE CASES TO THEM AS, AS QUICKLY, UM, AT THE SAME RATE. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S ALL, UM, THAT'S IN FRONT OF US. 
          AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'LL BE ANY AMENDMENTS, UH, BUT I'M HERE TO DISCUSS LOGISTICS. 
          I GUESS WE'LL JUST OPEN UP THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION. 
          AND WHEN DO WE, DO WE NEED TO HAVE THIS FINALIZED TODAY OR DO WE HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY? WHAT'S OUR ? IT'S KIND OF IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT I THINK NO, NO, NO, NO. 
          YEAH, IT'S, IT'S THE AGENDA. 
          IT'S, IT DEPENDS HOW MUCH, UM, HOW MUCH GOOD GRACE WE HAVE FROM OUR AGENDA OFFICE. 
          I THINK THEY'D LIKE TO MOVE TO BUILD IT. 
          UM, I'M HEARING MAYBE WE COULD BUY A LITTLE TIME IF THERE'S, UH, MEANINGFUL, UH, CHANGES TO MAKE. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          THE LEANNA'S FACE SAYS NOW,  COMMISSIONER HAMPTON. 
          WELL, IF I DON'T KNOW OTHER SCHEDULES, I HAVE A STANDING CONFLICT ON THE THIRD WEEK IN SEPTEMBER. 
          UM, BUT IF I CAN ABSOLUTELY ATTEND VIRTUALLY.
