[5.Y Award of RFP 202604 for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Agreement to Landis Gyr Technology, Inc. ]
LET'S TAKE UP ITEM FIVE Y FIRST. AND WHO'S GOING TO HANDLE THAT FOR US. VICTORIA. AWESOME. GOOD[00:05:20]
EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS NOT DANIEL BETHAPUDI. MY NAME IS VICTORIA SAMARCO. I AM OUR CHIEF BUSINESS OFFICER FOR THE ELECTRIC UTILITY. I AM HERE FILLING IN FOR DANIEL TODAY TO TALK ABOUT OUR ELECTRIC. AM I PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACTING PROCESS? I DO HAVE SOME OF THE TEAM HERE WITH ME. I WILL INTRODUCE HERE IN JUST A SECOND. TODAY I WILL BE TALKING THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR RFP. THE REVIEW, OUR VENDOR SELECTION PROCESS. TALK ABOUT THE AGREEMENT THAT WE NEGOTIATED AND REVIEW THE BUDGET. OUR PROJECT TEAM MISSING FROM US TODAY IS TOM ASP. HE WAS OUR ENGINEERING CONSULTANT ON THE PROJECT. HE HELPED US THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS, STARTING WITH THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, THE RFP, AND FINALLY WITH THE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS. I ALSO HAVE MIKE MALDONADO HERE WITH ME. HE IS OUR ELECTRIC OPERATIONS METERING SUPERVISOR. DANIELLE ELLIS WORKED REALLY HEAVILY ON THIS PROJECT. SHE'S OUR ARMY SUPERVISOR. I ALSO HAVE HERE WITH ME DANIEL POTTER. HE'S OUR ELECTRIC SAFETY AND EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM MANAGER. SEAN BISSELL IS OUR ELECTRIC ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY MANAGER. AND HERE I AM. SO TALKING THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RFP. STARTING WITH WHY IS THE ARMY REPLACEMENT EVEN REQUIRED? SO FIRST WE LOOKED AT OUR CURRENT STATE. OUR EXISTING ARMY SYSTEM IS AGING. IT'S CURRENTLY ABOUT 1314 YEARS OLD.AND THE USEFUL LIFE OF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS TEN YEARS. ANOTHER BIG THING IS THAT REPLACEMENT HARDWARE IS NOT CURRENTLY OFFERED BY OUR SYSTEM PROVIDER, AND THE EXISTING SYSTEM DOES NOT SUPPORT EVOLVING NEEDS. AND ALL OF THE CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY THAT WE'RE SEEING. AGAIN, WE BROUGHT IN TOM TO ASSIST AS OUR EXTERNAL CONTRIBUTOR FOR THIS PROJECT. SO THE PROCESS FOR SELECTING THE ARMY REPLACEMENT, WE STARTED WITH CONDUCTING A NEEDS ASSESSMENT, DEVELOPED AND ISSUED THE RFP. WE REVIEWED THE RESPONSES, WE INTERVIEWED THE TOP THREE, AND THEN WE NEGOTIATED THE AGREEMENT WITH OUR TOP CHOICE. AND NOW WE ARE WORKING THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYSTEM. STARTING WITH THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE STAFF THAT HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE WE IMPLEMENTED THE CURRENT SYSTEM MANY MOONS AGO, SO WE'RE ABLE TO LEVERAGE LESSONS LEARNED FROM THAT ORIGINAL DEPLOYMENT AND OPERATION. AND WE WERE ABLE TO ESSENTIALLY HAVE A CONVERSATION AND GET DOWN TO WHAT DO WE WANT TO MAINTAIN FROM OUR CURRENT SYSTEM AND WHAT DO WE WANT FROM A NEW SYSTEM. AND THOSE FINDINGS MAKE UP ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE RFP. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUPPORT FROM PSC AND OTHER MUNICIPAL EFFORTS. IT WAS ABOUT PEOPLE WITH ABOUT 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, AND WE INCORPORATED A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM DIFFERENT GEORGETOWN STAFF AND ALL OF OUR EXPERIENCED SMES. AS I SAID, ALL OF THAT NEEDS ASSESSMENT. DISCUSSION FED INTO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RFP. SO ONE BIG THING WE CONSIDERED IS EVOLVING NEEDS AND WHAT WE WILL NEED, NOT JUST NOW, BUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED IN THE FUTURE. SO WE HAVE COMPLEX RATES THAT ARE GETTING MORE COMPLEX BY THE DAY. MULTIPLE TIERED DEMAND RATES. WE WILL NEED POWER QUALITY DATA MARKET STRUCTURE ALTERNATIVES, BEING ABLE TO SEPARATE ENERGY AND THINGS OF THAT SORT. GRID MONITORING AND CONTROL AND OTHER ANCILLARY FUNCTIONS.
FUNCTIONS SUCH AS STREETLIGHT CONTROL. SO THE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR METERS THESE DAYS EXTEND FAR BEYOND JUST A MONTHLY READ FOR BILLING. WHEN IT CAME TO THE RFP DEVELOPMENT, WE ALSO HAD SOME SPECIFICS AROUND WHAT WE WANTED THE SOFTWARE TO LOOK LIKE. WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED HERE THAT WE DID NOT WANT A LEGO SET THAT THE STAFF MUST ASSEMBLE. SO THAT'S
[00:10:01]
ONE THING THAT WE. THAT IS OUR LESSON LEARNED FROM THE CURRENT SOFTWARE SYSTEM IS THAT WE WANT A TURNKEY ARMY SYSTEM THAT WILL. THEY WILL SUPPLY THE HARDWARE AND THE SOFTWARE. THE METER EXCHANGE AND INSTALLATION, AND HELP US WITH THE INTERNAL SOFTWARE AS WELL. SO ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE RFP. FINALLY, THE RFP WAS STRUCTURED TO ESSENTIALLY BECOME PART OF THE AGREEMENT, AND A DRAFT AGREEMENT WAS INCLUDED. AND SO WE FUNCTIONED ON FUNCTIONALITY AND SORRY, WE FOCUSED ON FUNCTIONALITY AND LONG TERM SUPPORT, NOT JUST THE TECHNOLOGY ITSELF. MOVING THROUGH THE VENDOR SELECTION PROCESS, WE WENT THROUGH OUR STANDARD RFP PROCESS FOR THIS. WE ADVERTISED AND NOTIFIED KNOWN VENDOR COMMUNITIES. THE RFP OUTLINED A SCHEDULE AND A PROCESS REVIEW. FROM THAT RFP, WE DID RECEIVE NINE RESPONSES. OF THOSE NINE RESPONSES, THEY WERE REVIEWED AND SCORED, AND WE SHORTLISTED THREE VENDORS, THE FIRST ONE BEING LANDIS AND GEER, WHO WE ULTIMATELY WENT WITH. BUT WE DID FIRST HAVE DAY LONG ONSITE INTERVIEWS WITH ALL THREE SHORTLISTED VENDORS. WE DISCUSSED THEIR OFFERS, THE CONTRACT TERM, JUST OVERALL, WHAT THEIR PLAN WAS TO FULFILL THE CONTRACT, AND IN THE END, WE CHOSE LANDIS AND GEER. IT ULTIMATELY WAS A UNANIMOUS DECISION BASED OFF OF THE SCORING PROCESS. LANDIS AND GEER. THEY PROVIDED THE REQUIRED FUNCTIONALITY AT THE BEST VALUE, NOT JUST BASED ON THE GIVEN TECHNOLOGY. THE EVALUATION TEAM USED SCORING TEMPLATES AND OTHER TOOLS TO ASSIST IN THE EVALUATION, AND PURCHASING. DID NOT RECEIVE ANY CHALLENGES REGARDING TO THE RFP AND SELECTION PROCESS. AS I SAID, LANDIS AND GEER WAS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION FOR THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN'S CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS. THE RESPONSES SHOWED THAT LANDIS AND GEAR MEET OUR CORE REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR ARMY SYSTEM. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT THE EVOLVING NEEDS.ABILITY TO SUPPORT THINGS LIKE STREET LIGHT CONTROL AND OTHER EDGE COMPUTING APPLICATIONS.
AND THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH INTEGRATION INTO EXISTING GEORGETOWN SIS SYSTEMS. ANOTHER BIG THING IS THAT THEY MANUFACTURE THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM. SO THAT INCLUDES ALL PARTS, ALL STEPS IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN FOR THE METERS THEMSELVES. AND ALSO ANOTHER BIG ONE WAS THE QUALITY OF THEIR REFERENCES AND THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE THAT LANDIS AND GEER HAS. WE DID CONDUCT REFERENCE REFERENCE CHECKS ON LANDIS AND GEAR, INCLUDING COLLEGE, COLLEGE STATION IN TEXAS AND INDIANA, AND OTTERTAIL IN MINNESOTA. THESE REFERENCE CHECKS WERE ALLOWED US TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO LANDIS AND GEAR AND APPLY OTHER LESSONS LEARNED FROM THESE OTHER UTILITIES AND REFINE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR EVEN FURTHER.
THAT BRINGS ME TO OUR AGREEMENT, THE AGREEMENT STRUCTURE. WE HAVE A 15 YEAR AGREEMENT THAT STARTS FROM THE FINAL SYSTEM'S ACCEPTANCE TEST. SO THE 15 YEAR AGREEMENT IS BASED ON ONCE WE FINISH THAT FINAL SYSTEM'S ACCEPTANCE TEST IN ABOUT TWO YEARS, THE COMMITMENT WILL START THEN. SO THE USEFUL LIFE OF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS TEN YEARS. BUT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT FOR 15 YEARS THAT COVERS THE THE SUPPORT FOR THE ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS PASSED. SO A COUPLE OF BIG HIGHLIGHTS ARE. THE AGREEMENT OFFERS A FIVE YEAR WARRANTY ON ALL THE EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING THE METERS. IT PROVIDES A CAP ON ANNUAL FEES AND SUPPORT ESCALATIONS. IT PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE FOR 15 YEARS. IT REQUIRES MEETING REACHING MILESTONES BEFORE RELEASING PAYMENTS ON SELECTED SERVICES, AND IT DETAILS RESPONSIBILITIES FOR EACH PARTY. SO THE FINAL KEY TO THE AGREEMENT IS THAT IT OFFERS PROTECTION FOR. IF, IN THE EVENT THE INFRASTRUCTURE WERE TO BECOME OBSOLETE. SO WE HAVE THE SUPPORT FOR 15 YEARS.
[00:15:05]
IT ADDRESSES POTENTIAL OF STRANDED ASSETS. IF THE VENDOR WERE TO DISCONTINUE THE PRODUCT LINE. WE HAVE REQUIREMENTS DEVELOPED TO ACCOMMODATE EVOLVING NEEDS, SUCH AS THE METER SUPPORTING EDGE COMPUTING, INCLUDING ADVANCED POWER QUALITY MONITORING, MONITORING, AND WE HAVE A COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT RETAIL COMPETITIVE COMPETITION REQUIREMENTS. SO LANDIS AND GEAR CERTIFIES THAT THE ARMY SYSTEM AND THE DMS PROVIDED UNDER THE AGREEMENT ARE COMPLIANT WITH ALL ERCOT REQUIREMENTS. FINALLY, THE BUDGET, THE TOTAL BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT WAS 9,531,000. SO THE AGREEMENT INCLUDES A 15 YEAR SUPPORT COMMITMENT FROM THE DATE OF THE FINAL SYSTEMS ACCEPTANCE TEST, WHICH SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN ABOUT TWO YEARS.ONE IMPORTANT NOTE IS THAT ALL MAINTENANCE FEES ARE FIXED FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS, AND THEY ARE CAPPED EVERY YEAR AFTER THAT, STARTING IN THE THIRD YEAR AFTER ACCEPTANCE OF THE ISAT, LANDIS AND GEAR WILL ADJUST THE ANNUAL FEES NO MORE THAN ONCE EVERY 12 MONTHS BY THE LOWER OF THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX, OR BY 5%. FINALLY, THE IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE. WE DO HAVE A TWO YEAR IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE. PHASE ONE IS EXPECTED TO TAKE ABOUT NINE MONTHS.
PHASE TWO IS EXPECTED TO TAKE ABOUT 15 MONTHS, AND PHASE ONE WILL START WITH THE INITIAL SYSTEMS SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE TEST. WE WILL DEPLOY A PILOT OF ABOUT 500M. WE WILL USE THAT DATA TO DEVELOP INTERFACES BETWEEN BILLING AND OTHER SYSTEMS. WE WILL CONDUCT ALL OF OUR INITIAL SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE TESTING, AND THEN WE WILL MOVE TO PHASE TWO, WHICH IS THE FINAL SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE TEST, WHERE WE WILL EXCHANGE ALL OF THE REMAINING METERS OUT ON THE SYSTEM, CONDUCT ACCEPTANCE TESTING, AND MOVE FORWARD WITH FINAL, FINAL PHASES OF THE IMPLEMENTATION.
KEY TASKS. WE WILL START IN MONTHS ONE THROUGH THREE ON JUST ESTABLISHING A SCHEDULE AND DELIVERABLES AND DEADLINES. PHASE TWO WILL INVOLVE OR SORRY. MONTHS FOUR AND FIVE WILL INVOLVE THE CUSTOMER COMMUNICATIONS PLAN. DEVELOPING THAT AND WORKING TO PHASE ONE OF THE PILOT DEVELOPMENT AND THE ISAT BY AROUND AUGUST OF 2027, WE SHOULD BE READY FOR THE FULL METER EXCHANGE, AND WE SHOULD BE CONDUCTING THE FINAL SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE TEST AND CLOSE OUT IN ABOUT TWO YEARS FROM NOW IN 2028. ON OCTOBER 15TH, WE PRESENTED THIS TO THE ELECTRIC UTILITY ADVISORY BOARD, AND THE BOARD RECOMMENDED THE APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT WITH LANDIS AND GEAR FOR THE ELECTRIC ARMY, CP AND MD EMS SYSTEM. WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU ALL HAVE FOR US? I'VE GOT A FEW QUESTIONS AND THANK YOU. THAT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND ANSWERED SOME OF MY QUESTIONS THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. YOU MENTIONED THE INITIAL PHASE.
PHASE ONE HAS 500M. HOW MANY METERS TOTAL WILL BE CHANGED OUT DURING THE WHOLE. PROCESS? IN THE IN THE FIRST PHASE ONE OR THROUGH PHASE TWO, THE FULL SYSTEM PHASE TWO, THE FULL SYSTEM WOULD BE THE FULL 36,000. CURRENTLY, WE'RE AT 36,000 RIGHT NOW. OKAY, WE HAVE ABOUT 36,000M. AND I THINK EARLIER YOU SAID THAT THE USEFUL LIFE OF A METER, I GUESS WOULD BE FIVE. I THINK YOU SAID TEN YEARS WAS USEFUL LIFE. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. AND WE HAVE A WARRANTY ON THEM FOR FIVE. YES. IS THE CITY THEN PAYING THE COST IF SOMETHING FAILS BETWEEN 5 AND 10? OR IS THIS USEFUL LIFE FOR THE SYSTEM LONGER THAN NORMAL? AFTER I'M PHONING MY.
I'M PHONING MY FRIEND HERE. THIS IS MIKE MALDONADO, OUR METER SUPERVISOR. LET'S SAY A METER FAILS IN YEAR EIGHT. IS THE CITY THEN RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THAT METER? YES, SIR.
OKAY. YES, SIR. THAT WOULD BE REPLACING UNDER MAINTENANCE. OKAY. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WORDING IS. IF IT'S MDM S OR THE REPORTING SYSTEM, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE WATER AND THE ELECTRIC USED TO BE ON SIMILAR SYSTEMS, AND NOW THEY WILL BE ON SEPARATE SYSTEMS. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. IT'S IT'S THE HEADED SYSTEM. THE THE ARMY SYSTEM HAS A HEAD END
[00:20:05]
SYSTEM. SO IT HAS ITS OWN. OKAY. CORRECT. AND BECAUSE I'M DUMB IN THIS AREA, IS THIS LIKE A SMART METER SYSTEM LIKE YOU DO WITH THE WATER SWITCH OUT? IS THAT CORRECT? OR HOW DOES IT WORK? YES. WHY DON'T YOU WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT JUST SOME OF THE FUNCTIONALITY, MAYBE EVEN FOR THE, FOR A, A CUSTOMER THAT THEY'LL HAVE? SURE. YEAH. SO I THINK FIRST OFF, WE TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SMART METER THING BECAUSE IT KIND OF GETS A BAD REPUTATION, BUT THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE METER ITSELF, IT IS BUILT TO GROW WITH US. IT HAS WHAT THEY CALL EDGE COMPUTING IN IT. BASICALLY, WHAT THAT DOES IS IT HAS A LINUX PLATFORM. SO IT ALLOWS US TO DO CALCULATION WITHIN THE METER INSTEAD OF BRINGING THE NUMBERS BACK IN. IT ALSO HAS THE ABILITY AVAILABILITY FOR APPLICATIONS, SO THAT WE CAN ADD TO THE METER SO THAT WE CAN BE MORE MORE ENGAGED WITH CUSTOMERS. AND FROM A RESIDENT STANDPOINT, WHEN THEY ARE WHEN THEIR METER IS ABOUT TO GET SWITCHED OUT, HOW DOES THAT ROLL OUT TO THEM? AND IS THERE A DOWNTIME OR ARE THEY AFFECTED IN ANY WAY? SURE. THERE'S ABOUT THERE'S ABOUT FIVE MINUTES OF BEING BEING OUT OF POWER WHILE THE EXCHANGE HAPPENS, BECAUSE WE GO THROUGH A WHOLE WORK ORDER SYSTEM, PICTURES, DOCUMENTATION. SO THE THE COST THE 10,000,005 NOT TO EXCEED 10,000,500. AND THEN THERE'S THE 14,000,500. OVER THE 15 YEARS. SO THE 14,000,500 THAT'S PAID OUT OVER 15 YEARS IS WHAT THAT THAT'S THAT'S FOR SUPPORT OVER THE 15 YEAR PERIOD IN YOUR YOUR ADDING ALL 15 YEARS TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH A 14,000,500 NUMBER, CORRECT? YES.NOT 14,000,500 A YEAR FOR 15 YEARS. CORRECT. FOR THE FULL 15 YEAR TERM. 14 500 IS THE MAX.
CORRECT. OKAY. AND SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE ON THE FRONT END, IT'S ABOUT 9.5 MILLION IS WHAT'S SHOWN ON SLIDE. WHAT NUMBER IS THAT? SLIDE 20. AND THEN THE ANNUAL COST OF 622. AND THEN THERE'S ESCALATOR FOR CPI THE LESSER CPI OR 5%. YES THAT'S CORRECT. SO THAT OKAY. AND WE HAVE I THINK I SAW WAS IT HONEYWELL'S I GUESS WHO WE HAVE NOW. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. IT'S NOT BEING SUPPORTED ANYMORE. IT'S IT'S AGED OUT. CORRECT. DO WE HAVE AN ONGOING MAINTENANCE COST WITH THEM FOR SERVICE AS WELL, THAT THIS WILL BE TAKING THE PLACE OF THE 622 REFERENCED HERE IN THE PRESENTATION? WE DO HAVE AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH HONEYWELL RIGHT NOW FOR ONE MORE YEAR, SO THAT THAT COST WILL GO AWAY. THIS ONE WILL REPLACE IT BASICALLY.
OKAY. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THIS PASSES, WE START INSTALLING, YOU KNOW, DOING THE DIFFERENT PHASES. SOMETHING NEW GETS BUILT. IT'LL BE ONE OF THESE METERS PUT ON, NOT THE OLD METERS. YEAH. WHAT WE'LL TRY TO DO IS THAT WILL START HAPPENING MORE AFTER PHASE ONE. SO WE WANT TO GO THROUGH THE PHASE ONE ACCEPTANCE TESTING, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S WORKING PROPERLY. ONCE WE SIGN OFF ON PHASE ONE, THEN WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN INVENTORY FOR LIKE NEW CONSTRUCTION. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WELL, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THEN. MOVE. MR. MAYOR, I MOVE APPROVAL ITEM FIVE Y AS PRESENTED. SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION NEEDED? ALL IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THAT MOVES US TO ITEM SIX

[6.D Resolution- Finding of Public Convenience and Necessity and Authorizing Eminent Domain Proceedings - Wolf Ranch Parkway Road Expansion Project from SH29 to Rivery Boulevard]
AND I BELIEVE NICK'S CAN HANDLE THIS ONE. OH NO. I'M SORRY. SCOTT'S GOING TO HANDLE THIS.GOOD EVENING. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THE WOLF RANCH PARKWAY ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT FOR RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION. THIS IS FOR A PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY RESOLUTION FOR EMINENT DOMAIN AUTHORIZATION. WHAT WE HAVE IS A WOLF RANCH PARKWAY. YOU'VE. WE'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF COUNCIL BEFORE. THIS PROJECT IS QUITE, QUITE LARGE.
IT'S A. TO IMPROVE SAFETY, CONSTRUCT ONE ADDITIONAL LANE IN EACH DIRECTION. CONSTRUCT A RAISED MEDIAN DEDICATED LEFT AND RIGHT TURN LANES. CONSTRUCT A SHARED USE PATH FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS. UPGRADE STORM DRAINS AND CURBS AND GUTTERS. INSTALL UPGRADE INTERSECTIONS WITH SIGNALS AND ADA RAMPS. INSTALL A ROUNDABOUT AT MEMORIAL, THE ROUNDABOUT WHERE MEMORIAL AND WOLF RANCH INTERSECT. THIS JUST GIVES A DEPICTION OF WHERE EXACTLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU CAN SEE WOLF RANCH PARKWAY AT THE BOTTOM, YOU SEE WHERE IT SAYS THE NUMBER 29. IT STARTS THERE. IT GOES UP TO RIVER BOULEVARD. THE SUBJECT PARCEL THAT'S IMPACTED IS THERE'S, THERE'S ACTUALLY IT'S TWO THERE TOGETHER, BUT THERE'S TWO PARCELS, PARCEL FOUR AND FIVE. YOU'LL SEE IN THIS AS DEPICTED HERE, THERE'S A DRAINAGE EASEMENT, MOSTLY ON PARCEL FOUR, PARCEL, A LITTLE BIT ON ON WOLF RANCH PARKWAY FOR PARCEL FIVE.
AND THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE A TCE WHICH IS A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT NECESSARY ON PARCEL FIVE. PREVIOUSLY IT CAME TO COUNCIL FOR THIS RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION. WHAT WE WHAT WE WERE AUTHORIZED TO DO WAS INITIAL GIVE AN INITIAL OFFER APPRAISED VALUE FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY. THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT. TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT. IT WAS APPROVED ON SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2025. WE. WE HAVE GIVEN INITIAL OFFER AND A FINAL OFFER. WE'VE
[00:30:05]
DISCUSSED THE POSSESSION AND USE AGREEMENT THAT WAS SENT TO THE IMPACTED PARCEL PARTIAL OWNERS. NO ACQUISITION AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED AND. AND ALSO NO POSSESSION AND USE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN AGREED TO. THE PROJECT CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE IS FASTLY APPROACHING, SO WE NEED TO ADVANCE POSSESSION TO GET THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR A TIMELY UTILITY RELOCATION AND WORK PRIOR TO PROJECT CONSTRUCTION UNDER CHAPTER 21 A TEXAS PROPERTY CODE. IF CONDEMNATION IS NECESSARY, WE MUST FOLLOW THE STEPS OF THE STATUTE. NUMBER ONE INITIAL OFFER, WHICH WE DISCUSSED. I DISCUSSED ALREADY WITH APPRAISAL REPORT. WE'VE ALREADY DONE NUMBER TWO. IF REJECTED OR NO RESPONSE RECEIVED, WE MUST SEND A FINAL OFFER, WHICH WE HAVE. NUMBER THREE. IF FINAL OFFER IS REJECTED OR NO RESPONSE IS RECEIVED, WE COME BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE HERE THIS EVENING. NEXT, IF WE DO GET IF WE DO GET AUTHORIZATION, WE WILL FILE A PETITION FOR CONDEMNATION, WHICH. THEN WE GO IN FRONT OF A SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS HEARING AND A COMPENSATION AWARD IS DETERMINED. AND ONCE WE ONCE WE HAVE DEPOSITED THE AWARD WITH THE. WITH THE COURT, WE GET POSSESSION OF THE OF THE PROPERTIES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACQUIRE. IF ANY PARTY REJECTS. AFTER THE SPECIAL AWARD, SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS HEARING, THERE WOULD BE A TRIAL. AND THAT ULTIMATELY WOULD DETERMINE THE. THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY. TODAY'S ACTION WENT ON. WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR IS ADOPT A RESOLUTION FINDING THAT ACQUISITION OF NEW RIGHT OF WAY DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT IS NECESSARY FOR THE WOLF RANCH PARKWAY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT AS A PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY. AUTHORIZATION OF THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE NECESSARY PROPERTY RIGHTS FOR THIS PROJECT, A SPECIFIC MOTION LANGUAGE IS REQUIRED BY TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE. CHAPTER TWO 206. AND A VOTE MUST BE A RECORD VOTE. THE. THE. THE MOTION MUST BE READ ALOUD. I HAVE A COPY OF THE MOTION IF NECESSARY, OR YOU CAN READ IT FROM THE FROM THE COMPUTER. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I HAVE A QUESTION? YEAH. THIS ONE SEEMS KIND OF STRANGE TO ME JUST BECAUSE THIS THIS PARCEL IS KIND OF IT'S COMMON AREA OWNED BY THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, THE WOLF RANCH COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION. CORRECT? CORRECT. IT'S IT'S A IT'S IT'S OWNED BY THE HOA. IT'S OWNED BY THE HOA. YES. IT'S OWNED BY THE IT'S THE OWNER'S ASSOCIATION OF RANCH RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION. AND THEY JUST NEVER RESPONDED TO ANY OF KNOW OUR DOCUMENTATION. THEY ACTUALLY WE DID HAVE DISCUSSION WITH THEM. WE WORKED WITH THEM ON THIS CORNER. IF YOU KNOW, IF YOU KNOW THAT CORNER WHERE I'M TALKING ABOUT, THERE'S A THERE'S A, THERE'S A ARTWORK, IT'S A METAL ARTWORK. YEAH. WE ACTUALLY CHANGED THAT, THAT PLAN A LITTLE BIT TO ACCOMMODATE THAT ARTWORK. BUT THEN THEY, THEY REPRESENTED NOW BY, BY AN ATTORNEY AND THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO US AGAIN SINCE. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. GOOD MAN. SO YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION HERE. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT, BUT IT LOOKS TO ME THAT IT BENEFITS MOSTLY THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO SELL THE LAND. IF IT'S REPRESENTED BY THE HOA.WHAT WHAT IS THE DOWNSIDE? IF WE JUST SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE YOUR ROAD IMPROVED, YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE A, AN EXIT OUT THE BACK SIDE THERE. WHAT WHAT IS THE DOWNSIDE OF JUST SAYING, OKAY, WE WE WON'T HELP IMPROVE YOUR SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE. YEAH. COUNCIL MEMBER I THINK THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION. SO THIS PROJECT. THIS PROJECT IS BENEFITING. IT HAS A BROAD BENEFIT FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO IT'S REALLY A COLLECTOR BETWEEN WILLIAMS DRIVE AND STATE HIGHWAY 29 TO GET PEOPLE FROM, YOU KNOW, NORTHWEST PARTS OF TOWN DOWN TO THE, YOU KNOW, OUR REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER AREAS BACK AND FORTH THROUGH THAT CORRIDOR. AND IT'S ALSO ONE OF THE ONLY ROADS WE HAVE THAT'S PARALLEL TO I-35 IN THAT IN THAT AREA OF TOWN. SO IT DOES BENEFIT A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY AND NOT JUST THE THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS CONDEMNATION. SO I SEE THAT ON THE I'M LOOKING ON SLIDE FOUR ON THE EAST SIDE, THAT ONE THIRD ON THE SECTION THERE. BUT GOING ALONG THE THE COUNTY ROAD, THAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE BASICALLY BENEFICIAL JUST FOR THE PEOPLE THERE. AND I DON'T SEE THAT IT IS AN OVERRIDING NEED FOR THE CITY. ALONG THE. FROM PARCEL
[00:35:08]
FOUR TO MEMORIAL DRIVE ON MEMORIAL MEMORIAL DRIVE. OKAY. YES, SIR. SO YEAH. AND THAT'S.SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY SEEING AS WE WENT ALONG WITH THIS PROJECT, WE ENDED UP COMBINING TWO PROJECTS. ONE IS THE WOLF RANCH PARKWAY PROJECT. AND THEN WE HAD IMPROVEMENTS TO MEMORIAL DRIVE, WHICH WERE SLATED EVEN BEFORE WE THOUGHT OF THIS PROJECT. AS WE GOT INTO THE DESIGN, BECAUSE THEY INTERSECT WITH EACH OTHER, WE WE COMBINE THE PROJECTS. SO THE MEMORIAL DRIVE IS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S AN UNDERSIZED ROAD AND IT HAS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT STREET MAINTENANCE NEEDS. AND SO THAT THAT'S WHAT'S LEADING TO THAT PROJECT. BUT, BUT IT IS ALSO IT IS ALSO PARALLEL TO STATE HIGHWAY 29. SO IT DOES SERVE SOME SOME RELIEF PURPOSES FROM STATE HIGHWAY 29. YEAH. AND LIKE WHEN COUNCIL APPROVED THE MEMORIAL DRIVE PROJECT, I MEAN, IT REALLY EVERYTHING BEHIND ACADEMY THERE AND ALL THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT'S COME IN. I MEAN, IT'S BARELY A TWO LANE ROAD THAT THAT MEMORIAL DRIVE. AND SO IT'S REALLY KIND OF FOR THE PEOPLE ACCESSING THAT COMMERCIAL AS A SECOND WAY TO GET TO, INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH THE ACADEMY PARKING LOT. AND, AND, YOU KNOW, AND SO IT'S ONE THAT WE'VE HAD ON THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR, I DON'T KNOW, 4 OR 5 YEARS NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE. YEAH, I MEAN, I'LL JUST ADD ANECDOTALLY, I DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR THERE. AND I DRIVE ON BOTH THOSE ROADS ALL THE TIME. YEAH. BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION, BEN. AND ONE THING JUST, JUST TO NOTE, THE, THE COMMUNITY, THE, THE HOA IS STILL DEVELOPER RUN. SO IT'S, IT'S, IT'S FULLY RUN BY THE DEVELOPER. THANKS. THAT'S HELPFUL. SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE, THE RESIDENTS THEMSELVES. YEAH. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR SCOTT ON THIS ONE? ALL RIGHT. SCOTT, DO YOU NEED TO READ THE CAPTION OR BY READING THE THE READ THE THE ACTUAL MOTION AS WRITTEN THE ACTUAL MOTION HERE. YEAH. SO IF SOMEBODY CAN, CAN READ THAT, MAKE THAT MOTION, I MOVE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN BY ADOPTING THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO THE WOLF RANCH PARKWAY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, AUTHORIZES THE USE OF THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY FEE, SIMPLE RIGHTS AND OR EASEMENT RIGHTS AND OR LESSER INTERESTS FROM PORTIONS OF PROPERTY. AND. JOSEPH P PULSIFER SURVEY NUMBER THREE G. ABSTRACT NUMBER FOUR. 98. WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED AT 141 BELFORD STREET, GEORGETOWN, TEXAS 78628. CURRENTLY OWNED BY OWNERS ASSOCIATION OF WOLF RANCH RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC. SUCH PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY BEING MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A OF THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR THE AGENDA ITEM, I FURTHER MOVE THAT THE FIRST RECORD VOTE APPLIES TO ALL UNITS OF PROPERTY TO BE CONDEMNED. THANK YOU. JAKE GOT A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION NEEDED? ALL IN FAVOR? I HAVE TO OH, SORRY. ROLL CALL. VOTE, PLEASE. ROBIN. DISTRICT ONE, HOW DO YOU VOTE? YES. DISTRICT TWO, HOW DO YOU VOTE? YES? DISTRICT THREE, HOW DO YOU VOTE YES? DISTRICT FOUR IS ABSENT. DISTRICT FIVE, HOW DO YOU VOTE YES? DISTRICT SIX, HOW DO YOU VOTE YES? DISTRICT SEVEN HOW DO YOU VOTE? NO. MOTION CARRIES FIVE ONE, RIGHT? YES. I HAVE TO DO THE MATH IN MY HEAD THERE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SCOTT. APPRECIATE IT. NEXT UP,

WE HAVE. SO YES 60. GO AHEAD. AND I'M BACK FOR WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MEMORIAL DRIVE.THIS IS THE MEMORIAL DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. AGAIN, CITY COUNCIL LEGISLATIVE SESSION FOR THE PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY RESOLUTION OF EMINENT DOMAIN AUTHORIZATION. THE MEMORIAL DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT INCLUDES RECONSTRUCTION AND WIDENING OF THE EXISTING ROADWAY, CURB CURB DRAINAGE, SIDEWALK, PEDESTRIAN RAMPS, WATER LINE RELOCATIONS AND WATER POLLUTION ABATEMENT, AND REQUIRED ANCILLARY ITEMS FROM RIVERCHASE BOULEVARD TO WOLF LAKES DRIVE. YOU SEE, YOU SEE HERE IT'S DEPICTED. AND THE ARROWS, THE THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS IS RIVERCHASE BOULEVARD, AND THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS WOLF LAKES DRIVE SHOWS THAT THAT WHOLE ENTIRE. WHAT WE'RE DOING IMPROVEMENTS THERE ON MEMORIAL DRIVE, THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY THAT WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT IS, IS, IS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. IF I GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS WHERE THAT LITTLE BLUE, THE LITTLE BLUE BOX THERE, IT SAYS DRAINAGE EASEMENT. THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. YOU CAN SEE THERE

THERE'S AN ARROW THAT'S KIND OF DARK. IT'S BLUE, BUT AND THAT LITTLE BLUE SECTION, IT'S LOOK, THERE'S GOING TO BE A RETENTION POND. AND, AND AS IT AS IT GOES NORTH THERE, THAT IS WHERE THE OUTFLOW WILL BE FOR THE RETENTION POND. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION AND DRAINAGE EASEMENT ACQUISITION WAS INITIAL OFFER WAS BASED ON APPRAISAL VALUE OF THE NEW DRAINAGE EASEMENT APPROVED BY THE CITY ON MAY 12TH OF THIS YEAR, 2026, AND WE'LL OFFER A FINAL OFFER. INTERIM POSSESSION AND USE AGREEMENT WAS DISCUSSED AND SENT TO THE IMPACTED PROPERTY OWNER. NO, NO DRAINAGE EASEMENT ACQUISITION AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AS WELL AS THE PUA HAS NOT BEEN AGREED TO. PROJECT CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE IS FAST APPROACHING AND WE NEED TO ADVANCE POSSESSION FOR THE REQUIRED DRAINAGE EASEMENT.TEXAS PROPERTY CODE CHAPTER 21. CONDEMNATION IS NECESSARY. IF IT'S NECESSARY, I SHOULD SAY INITIAL OFFER WITH APPRAISAL REPORT, WHICH WE'VE DONE IF REJECTED OR NO RESPONSE RECEIVED. IT'S A FINAL OFFER WHICH HAS BEEN DONE. IF FINAL OFFER IS REJECTED OR NO RESPONSE IS RECEIVED, WHICH IS THE CASE. CITY COUNCIL WE SEEK CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION TO USE EMINENT DOMAIN. IF A DOMAIN IS IS AUTHORIZED, WE WILL FILE A PETITION FOR CONDEMNATION. IF WE'LL THEN HAVE A SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS HEARING, WE'LL HAVE A COMPENSATION AWARD THAT WILL BE DETERMINED AT THAT HEARING. ONCE THE AWARD IS IS RECORDED WITH OR FILED WITH THE WITH THE COURT, WE'LL HAVE POSSESSION. IF EITHER PARTY REJECTS A TRIAL WILL BE WILL BE HELD FOR. DETERMINE THE OVERALL VALUE. TODAY'S ACTION. WE WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION FINDING THAT ACQUISITION OF A NEW DRAINAGE EASEMENT IS NECESSARY FOR THE MEMORIAL DRIVE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AS PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY. AUTHORIZATION OF THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE NECESSARY PROPERTY RIGHTS FOR THIS PROJECT. SPECIFIC MOTION LANGUAGE IS REQUIRED BY TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE. CHAPTER 2206, WHICH SHALL GO TO THE NEXT. THE NEXT SLIDE AND VOTE MUST BE A RECORD VOTE. AND HERE'S THE MOTION. BUT CAN I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PORTION? YEAH. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? GOODMAN SO IS THIS PROPERTY THIS PARCEL BEING DEVELOPED OR IS THIS JUST RAW LAND AND NOT GOING TO BE DEVELOPED AS WE KNOW IT RIGHT NOW? IT'S CURRENTLY RAW LAND AND IT'S OWNED BY A CORPORATION, A LDJL IT'S A LALALJDG TX LLC AND IT'S IT IT'S NOT THEY DON'T DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT NOW.
THEY'RE NOT SAYING THEY'RE DEVELOPING. I THINK IN THE FUTURE IT COULD BE 20 YEARS FROM NOW. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO BE. BUT THERE IS NO THEY'RE NOT DEVELOPING AT THE MOMENT. SO WHAT IS THE REASON FOR NEEDING THIS EASEMENT NOW AS OPPOSED TO WHEN THEY DEVELOP IT? THE THE DRAINAGE THAT'S IT'S A DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. MY UNDERSTANDING IS, IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. IF YOU NEED AN ENGINEER, I HAVE WEST RIGHT HERE. HE'S HE'S I THINK HE'S IN THE BACK ROOM, BUT HE CAN COME OUT AND HE CAN EXPLAIN TO YOU. HE SAID HE WOULD BE LISTENING IN. SO HOPEFULLY HE CAN COME OVER. OH, THERE HE IS.
THERE HE IS. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WESLEY WRIGHT, ENGINEERING DIRECTOR.
SCOTT ANSWERED THE QUESTION PRETTY WELL. I THINK THIS IS JUST FOR THE DRAINAGE OUTFALL FOR FOR MEMORIAL DRIVE, AS NICK SAID, MEMORIAL DRIVE AND SEVERAL OF YOU SAID MEMORIAL DRIVE IS PRETTY NARROW. WE'RE EFFECTIVELY REBUILDING WHAT IS THERE TO TWO FULL LANES OF TRAVEL. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF INCREASED IMPERVIOUS COVER AND THAT ADDITIONAL THAT ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE, THE CURB AND GUTTER THAT WE PUT IN THERE NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP AND AND DISCHARGED TO THIS AREA. THIS IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO GET US TO THE FLOODPLAIN. THAT'S THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE NEED SO THAT WE CAN HANDLE THE THE DRAINAGE AND DISCHARGE IT WHERE IT ULTIMATELY NEEDS TO GO TO THAT, THAT FLOODPLAIN AREA BACK THERE. AND, AND AS SCOTT SAID, HAVE HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY INTENT TO DEVELOP THAT PROPERTY THERE. WHENEVER IT DOES DEVELOP THERE, DRAINAGE IS PROBABLY GOING TO GO TO THIS SAME SPOT AS WELL. BUT WE ABSOLUTELY DO NEED IT FOR THE ROAD. WE ARE INCREASING IMPERVIOUS COVER, WE ARE INCREASING DRAINAGE, WE ARE PUTTING CURB AND GUTTER THERE AND THE WATER HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE. AND THIS IS THIS IS THAT SOMEWHERE. SO THIS IS RELATED TO WHAT WE JUST VOTED FOR THIS THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE ROAD. AND BECAUSE WE'RE IMPROVING THE ROAD, THIS IS A DIFFERENT PARCEL AND WE NEED TO HAVE THE DRAINAGE FOR IT FOR THE ROAD THAT WE JUST VOTED FOR. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS 100%
[00:45:05]
CORRECT. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. IF NOT, SOMEBODY CAN READ THAT MOTION. I MOVE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, BY ADOPTING THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO THE MEMORIAL DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, AUTHORIZES THE USE OF THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY DRAINAGE EASEMENT FROM A PORTION OF A PROPERTY IN THE JOSEPH P PULSIPHER SURVEY. NUMBER THREE G. ABSTRACT NUMBER FOUR. 98 WILLIAMS COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED AT 750 MEMORIAL DRIVE, GEORGETOWN, TEXAS 78626.CURRENTLY OWNED BY LALJD DASH GTT LLC. SUCH PORTION OF PROPERTY BEING MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A OF THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM. SECOND, GET A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? ROLL CALL. GOODNESS GRACIOUS. SORRY. DISTRICT ONE HOW DO YOU VOTE? YES. DISTRICT TWO HOW DO YOU VOTE YES? DISTRICT THREE HOW DO YOU VOTE YES? DISTRICT FOUR IS ABSENT. DISTRICT FIVE, HOW DO YOU VOTE YES? DISTRICT SIX, HOW DO YOU VOTE YES? DISTRICT SEVEN HOW DO YOU VOTE? NO. MOTION PASSES FIVE ONE. THANKS, SCOTT. APPRECIATE YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS ITEM SIX F. AND KELLY IS
[6.F First Reading - Ordinance approving a temporary pilot street patio program ]
GOING TO LEAD THAT ONE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT. I'M BACK BEFORE YOU ALL TONIGHT TO BRING BACK. SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAD FROM YOU LAST TIME AT THE SEPTEMBER 8TH WORKSHOP MEETING. SO JUST TO RECAP, ON OUR PROPOSED PILOT PROGRAM FOR OUR STREET PATIOS AND SIDEWALK CAFES IN OUR DOWNTOWN AREA, YOU GUYS REALLY GAVE SIX POINTS FEEDBACK THAT WE NEEDED TO GO BACK TO THE TABLE AND BRING SOME RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU FOR. SO I'LL QUICKLY GO THROUGH THOSE, AND THEN WE CAN HAVE SOME DISCUSSION AND TIME FOR SOME QUESTIONS. SO IN OUR WORKSHOP, WE DISCUSSED LIMITING THE ORDINANCE TO STRICTLY THE STREET PATIO LICENSING ONLY AND TO POSTPONE CONSIDERATION OF THE SIDEWALK CAFE PORTION. WE ALSO LOOK TO ADD THE THREE BLOCKS TO THE NORTH TO MAKE IT THAT FULL NINE BLOCK AREA. IT WAS. YOU ALL ASKED THAT INSTEAD OF THE 12 MONTHS YOU WANTED TO LOOK AT A 24 MONTH PERIOD. SO WE MADE SURE TO CHANGE THAT AS WELL. AND THEN YOU WANTED US TO CONSIDER HOW TO REGULATE THE AMOUNT OF THESE STREET PATIOS THAT ARE ALLOWED IN THIS NINE BLOCK AREA. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT SPACE ENCUMBRANCE. AND THEN ALSO IT WAS RECOMMENDED THE MAJORITY WAS TO RECOMMEND KEEPING THE FEES AS PRESENTED, BUT ALSO TO CONSIDER CALCULATION PER SQUARE FOOT. SO WE HAVE A SLIDE OR TWO ON THAT AS WELL. AND THEN ALSO RELYING ON TABC REGULATIONS AND JUST REMOVE ANY OF THE LANGUAGE WE HAD RELATING TO ALCOHOL SALES FROM WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. SO TO GO THROUGH THESE, LIMITING THIS TO THE STREET PATIO LICENSING ONLY. SO JUST A QUICK RECAP. WE DID GO THROUGH THE ORDINANCE AND MAKE SURE TO REVISE IT FOR THE STREET PATIO ONLY. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DOWNTOWN GEORGETOWN ASSOCIATION ON OCTOBER 6TH, SO WE PRESENTED IT IN FULL TO THEM BOTH THE STREET PATIOS AND THE SIDEWALK CAFES, JUST TO LET THEM KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU GUYS HAD HEARD AT WORKSHOP AND WHAT WE'RE BRINGING BACK TO YOU ALL FOR CONSIDERATION. WE ALSO HAVE THEM SENDING OUT A SURVEY TO THEIR ENTIRE DGA MEMBERSHIP SO WE CAN GET ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK, ESPECIALLY ON THAT SIDEWALK CAFE PORTION, BUT ALSO JUST TO GAUGE THE INTEREST AS WE ROLL OUT THIS PROGRAM IN OUR STREET PATIO PROGRAM. SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESS OWNERS AND GET ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK. WE HAVE EVENTS COMING UP PRETTY SOON WHERE WE HAVE CHRISTMAS STROLLS. WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO VENDORS AND SEE WHAT THEY FEEL ABOUT IMPACTS AS WELL. AND THEN AGAIN, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, CONSIDERING JUST THE STREET PATIO PORTION, WE STILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY EITHER LATER ON AFTER WE GET SOME OF THAT FEEDBACK TO BRING THIS BACK AND AMEND THE PILOT PROGRAM TO GO AHEAD AND INCLUDE THOSE SIDEWALK CAFES, OR JUST WAIT UNTIL FULL ADOPTION OF A PROGRAM, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU SO CHOOSE TO DO, AND THEN ROLL IT IN AT THAT TIME. SO WE DID WORK WITH GIS, WE UPDATED OUR MAPS TO INCLUDE THE THREE BLOCKS TO THE NORTH, AGAIN, MAKING SURE THAT WE KEEP IT IN ALIGNMENT WITH KEEPING ONLY THE SIDEWALK CAFE FOR FUTURES, FUTURE PERMITTING ON AUSTIN AVENUE.AND THEN YOU SEE THE BLOCKS IN YELLOW IS WHERE THE STREET PATIOS WOULD BE ALLOWED. AND THEN WE ALSO CHANGED THE ORDINANCE. HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT WE UPPED THAT TO THE TWO YEARS INSTEAD OF THE 12 MONTHS. AND THEN WE DID A LITTLE WORK GOING THROUGH SOME
[00:50:02]
OF OUR PARKING STUDIES, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT VARIOUS TYPES OF PARKING THAT WE HAVE TO BEST UNDERSTAND HOW WE COULD LOOK AT THAT MAXIMUM ALLOWED PARKING SPACE ENCUMBRANCE. SO IT WAS CONSIDERED LIKE A PERCENTAGE. IS IT A PERCENTAGE OF THE PARKING SPACES AVAILABLE THAT WE ALLOW FOR THIS USE? WE KIND OF LOOKED AT IT AT THAT ANGLE, BUT IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO CALCULATE. THERE'S JUST SO MUCH VARIATION IN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND OUR PARKING TYPES DOWNTOWN THAT IT'S REALLY HARD TO CALCULATE THAT IN A PERCENTAGE, BECAUSE THE BLOCKS VARY WITH THE AMOUNT OF PARKING AVAILABLE. WE ALSO LOOKED AT CONSIDERING MAYBE A MAX OF TWO STREET PATIOS PER BLOCK, SO THAT WOULD CAP IT AT SIX SPACES PER BLOCK SECTION. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THAT NINE BLOCK AREA AND THEN TAKE IT, TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE TYPES OF PARKING OR NO PARKING AVAILABLE, IT WOULD REALLY CAP US AT AROUND 72 SPACES TOTAL.THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE ENCUMBERED BY THIS USE. ALSO WANTED TO MENTION THAT THE ADDITION OF THE SECOND PARKING GARAGE THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU ALL RECENTLY AT EAST NINTH AND SOUTH MAIN, THAT'S GOING TO PROVIDE A NET GAIN OF 316 SPACES ONCE BUILT, WHICH WOULD EASILY ABSORB, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WITH THIS STREET PATIO? USE. BOTH OF THE PARKING GARAGES ARE ON THE PERIPHERY OF THIS NINE BLOCK AREA, BUT THEY DEFINITELY SERVE ZONE ONE, WHICH IS CONTAINS BASICALLY OUR HIGHEST DEMAND IN PARKING, BUT ALSO IT'S THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF RESTAURANTS AND BARS. AND THESE SPACES TYPICALLY HAVE A HIGHER TURNOVER RATE COMPARED TO OTHER LAND USES. AND SO WE SEE THAT TURNOVER HAPPENING RATHER QUICKLY IN THOSE BLOCKS. SO THIS IS A REALLY TERRIBLE EXHIBIT THAT YOU CAN'T SEE VERY WELL. SO THERE'S SOME TINY LITTLE SIXES ON HERE THAT'S BASICALLY SHOWING THE SPACES OR THE BLOCK SECTIONS THAT WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO ABSORB THOSE SIX SPACES FOR THIS USE.
THE OTHER FEEDBACK WAS MOSTLY IT WAS THOUGHT TO KEEP THE FEES AS PRESENTED, BUT ALSO LOOK AT THE CALCULATIONS PER SQUARE FOOT. SO WE DOVE INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT AND LOOKING AT ABOUT HOW MANY SQUARE FEET ARE IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF PARKING WE FIND DOWNTOWN. YOU CAN SEE THAT IF WE KEPT IT AT THE 2400, THAT WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH IF YOU IF YOU DO THE 2400, AND THEN DIVIDE THAT UP BY THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PARKING, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT VARIES ANYWHERE FROM THE 2400 BASE, WHICH IS OUR TYPICAL NINE BY 18 SPACE, AND THEN GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO THE 2664 AND THEN THE 2693 FOR THE OTHER PARKING TYPES. SO IN OUR DOWNTOWN, WE DO HAVE A MAJORITY OF THAT ANGLED PARKING, WHICH YOU CAN SEE THERE'S THE, THE HIGHEST RATE. IF WE LOOKED AT IT AT A SQUARE FOOT, STARTING FROM THE PROPOSED FEE, BUT IT WOULD BE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO. WHILE WE'RE UNDERGOING A LOT OF ADDITIONS TO DOWNTOWN AND SOME OF THOSE. HOW WE REWORK, YOU KNOW, SOME OF OUR STREETS ARE GOING TO GO TO ONE WAY AND WE'RE SWITCHING PARKING UP OR RESTRIPING. WE'RE DOING A LOT OF THINGS WHERE WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A GOOD. I THINK IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER FOR STAFF TO DO JUST A FLAT RATE, INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT IT AT SQUARE FOOT AT THIS POINT. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER MOVING FORWARD. WHEN WE LOOK AT EXPANDING INTO SIDEWALKS, YOU KNOW, DOING THAT BY SQUARE FOOT. AND THEN THE LAST PIECE OF FEEDBACK WAS JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE RELY ON ABC.
SO WE DID REMOVE THOSE REFERENCES FROM THE ORDINANCE. AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT WE DO MENTION THE ALCOHOL SALES IS BASICALLY THAT THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE PROOF THAT THEY HAVE PROPER PERMITS AND LICENSING THROUGH ABC. AND I CAN GO BACK AND MORE DETAIL ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS. GO AND READ THE CAPTION FOR US. OKAY. THIS IS AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY PILOT STREET PATIO PROGRAM, ADOPTING CHAPTER 12.035 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES REGULATING THE PERMITTING, LICENSING, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND USE OF STREET PATIOS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 316 OF THE TEXAS TRANSPORTATION CODE, PROVIDING FOR A TWO YEAR SUNSET PERIOD UNLESS EXTENDED OR MADE PERMANENT BY THE CITY COUNCIL. REPEALING CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS, INCLUDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU. KELLY. KEVIN HAD A QUESTION? SURE. SO I KNOW WE MOVED THE LINES AROUND. IF YOU GO TO SLIDE FIVE, PLEASE, THE I WAS LOOKING HERE, THERE'S ONE BUSINESS THAT HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST TO ME, AND I DON'T KNOW, THEY MAY END UP NOT WANTING TO DO IT, BUT THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THIS CURRENTLY. IT'S A RESTAURANT. I WAS TRYING TO LOOK TO SEE IF
[00:55:03]
THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE RIGHT ON THE EDGE, AND I CAN'T THINK OF OTHERS, SO SOMEBODY CAN PLEASE CORRECT ME. OBVIOUSLY, THE ONES THAT ARE ON AUSTIN AVENUE ARE MAIN OR SQUARE PROPER WOULDN'T WOULDN'T HAVE ACCESS, BUT THE WHAT IS IT CALLED? THE HERITAGE BUILDING? I THINK THE RIGHT ACROSS FROM 600 IS RIGHT THERE. AND I KNOW THAT THEY HAD MENTIONED THEY WERE INTERESTED, BUT THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED. IF WE EXTENDED IT JUST A HALF BLOCK DOWN EIGHTH TO JUST A HALF BLOCK DOWN EIGHTH, IT WOULD IT'S EIGHTH. YEAH. LIKE RIGHT IN HERE. YEAH.NOW THE OTHER OPTION WE JUST SAY SORRY. WE JUST IT'S A PILOT AND THIS IS WHAT IT IS. AND IF IT'S SUCCESSFUL THEN YOU CAN LOOK AT DOING IT THEN. BUT JUST A THOUGHT. I MEAN, PRETTY MUCH ALL OF OUR OTHER I'M GOING TO CALL MAJOR BIGGER RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN I BELIEVE ARE ARE ENCOMPASSED IN THIS. OBVIOUSLY BESIDES THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE RED ROADS. BUT. YEAH, THE REV IS THAT AND THE PARKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIRS. YEAH, YEAH. I MEAN, I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. I MEAN, AND HONESTLY, IF YOU KIND OF THINK AROUND THE SQUARE, THAT'S ONE THAT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, ONE THAT WOULD WORK THE STUFF ACROSS THE STREET'S NOT. NOT USED IN THE EVENINGS. I MEAN, I'D BE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT, BUT WE EXPANDED IT ALREADY. AND I FEEL LIKE WE'RE CAPTURING PRETTY MUCH ALL THE MAJOR PLACES DOWNTOWN THAT. YEAH, I'M LOOKING IN THE PERIPHERY AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE IN THE, YOU KNOW, DIRECT PERIPHERY THAT THAT WOULD APPLY TO. SO BUT THEY DO. GOODMAN, I DISAGREE THAT YOU PUT YOUR BOUNDARIES AND WHO FALLS IN IT, AND IT'S A PILOT. AND THEN WE MAY NEED TO, YOU KNOW, PUT IN 16 BLOCKS AND I'M FINE IF WE MAKE NO CHANGES AND SAY IT'S A PILOT, THAT'S IT IS WHAT IT IS. I JUST KNOW SHE EXPRESSED INTEREST AND I KNOW SHE'S JUST BARELY, BARELY OUT OF IT. SO THAT WAS WHY I WAS BRINGING IT UP. BUT THEN NEXT MISSION CREEP IS WHAT I'M SCARED OF. DO YOU WANT ONE OUT? YOU WANT OUTSIDE SPOT TO IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE. AND. BUT I DO HAVE A DIFFERENT QUESTION.
SURE. GO AHEAD MAN. SO AS I READ THROUGH THE THE ORDINANCE, SECTION 12.035.08 TALKS ABOUT THE SIDEWALK USE. SO IF YOU HAVE A WHAT WE CALL A STREET PATIO. AS I READ THE ORDINANCE, THE REGULATIONS. YOU CANNOT BLOCK THE SIDEWALK WITH ANYTHING. SO IF YOU HAVE THE STREET PATIO, YOU HAVE THE STREET PATIO, AND YOU CAN'T PUT ANY CHAIRS AND THINGS ON THE SIDEWALK THERE, UNLIKE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AROUND THE CORNER, THAT MAY BE PUTTING PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALK, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A. A PATIO, THEY HAVE THE SIDEWALK CAFE. SO IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER. IS THAT CORRECT? AM I READING THAT CORRECTLY? YES, SIR. THAT WAS SOME OF THE INITIAL FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED FROM YOU ALL THAT YOU WANTED THEM TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE EITHER THE STREET PATIO OR SIDEWALK CAFE, NOT TO ENCUMBER BOTH. AND SO THAT'S THE WAY THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN. AND I THINK THAT THAT I REMEMBER CORRECTLY FROM LAST TIME, THE STREET PATIO IS EXCLUSIVE USE, BUT THE SIDEWALK CAFES ARE CURRENTLY ANYBODY CAN SIT DOWN AND REST THEIR THEIR FEET AS THE WAY THAT THE ORDINANCE THAT'S UNDER CONSIDERATION TONIGHT. YES, THAT IS CORRECT. THERE'S NO EXCLUSIVE USE OF OUR SIDEWALKS THROUGH THIS PERMITTING PROCESS. ONLY ON THE STREET PATIO, IN THE PARKING SPACES. OKAY. THANK YOU. BUT YEAH, IN THE FUTURE, IF WE DID THE STREET PATIOS, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO POTENTIALLY HAVE EXCLUSIVE USE OF FUTURE PROGRAMS, FUTURE ORDINANCE, OR I GUESS THAT'LL BE DECIDED AT THAT TIME. BUT I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT WE DISCUSSED WHEN AND IF THOSE OCCUR, THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET EXCLUSIVE USE, RIGHT? IF WE DO SIDEWALK CAFES, THAT WOULD BE EXCLUSIVE USE. THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE THROUGH ALL THE THEY WOULD THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE SIDEWALK, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE EITHER THE STREET PATIO OR SIDEWALK CAFE. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. I THINK WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. GOOD. AMANDA. OKAY. SO ON THE, THE PARKING SPACE ENCUMBRANCE. SLIDE SEVEN. SO ARE WE PICKING ONE OF THOSE OR ARE THOSE ALL SUGGESTIONS THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING? SO REALLY IT'S THEIR SUGGESTIONS. WE DIDN'T REALLY COME UP WITH A GOOD PERCENTAGE TO PRESENT TO YOU ALL BECAUSE IT WAS HARD FOR US TO DETERMINE JUST WHAT THE VARYING PARKING. SO THAT WOULD BE A LENGTHY DISCUSSION, RIGHT? YEAH, YEAH, I HEARD THAT A SEEMED LIKE YOU ALL FELT LIKE THAT WAS DIFFICULT TO CALCULATE, RIGHT. BE I, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WHEN I'M READING THAT I DON'T HATE THAT IDEA, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE, WELL, OKAY, WHAT IF WE HAD MULTIPLE PEOPLE REQUEST THAT AND THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE, SEE, YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT WE HAVE PARKING GARAGES. IS THAT HOW I'M READING THAT? YEAH, PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS SLIDE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. BUT YEAH, IT'S REALLY NOT THREE OPTIONS. IT WAS JUST POINTS ON
[01:00:04]
THE DISCUSSION OF PARKING SPACE INCOME RENTS. SO BASICALLY WE COULD CONSIDER A PERCENTAGE OR, YOU KNOW, A MAX NUMBER OF PATIO APPLICATIONS THAT WE APPROVE PER BLOCK. RIGHT. AND THEN THE OTHER WAS JUST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, RIGHT? YEAH. I MEAN, I THINK FOR ME, I MEAN, I THINK WE DO NEED TO KIND OF MAKE A DECISION HERE. LIKE, IS IT, ARE WE GOING TO LIMIT THEM OR NOT? YEAH, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PERCENTAGE WOULD BE DIFFICULT. THE MAX, YOU KNOW, PER BLOCK MAKES THE MOST SENSE TO ME. I MEAN, I KNOW YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE NOT PRESENTING THESE AS AN OPTION. I DON'T I MEAN THIS IS ME SPEAKING, BUT I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST I MEAN, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE IS A CONCERN AROUND, YOU KNOW, WHAT? IF WE ARE USING TOO MANY IF EVERYONE WANTS TO DO IT, I KNOW NOT EVERYONE'S GOING TO WANT TO DO IT. BUT THEN IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S TAKING UP TOO MUCH PARKING. WE HEAR A LOT THAT THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT PARKING. I'VE SEEN IN COMMENTS ALREADY WHEN THIS WAS PRESENTED, RESIDENTS COMMENTING ON THE LOSS OF PARKING. SO I DON'T THINK JUST SAYING WE HAVE PARKING GARAGES. I'M I'M COMFORTABLE WITH. AND I THINK WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING AROUND THE PARKING AT LEAST SEE WHAT WHAT HAPPENS. SO BUT FOR THE PILOT, I MEAN, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF PARKING, I THINK FOR THE LONG TERM ULTIMATE. BUT I MEAN, I, I WOULD SAY KIND OF THE OPPOSITE. I WOULD SAY IF THIS WERE SUPER SUCCESSFUL AND EVERYONE WAS UTILIZING THESE, EVERYONE WAS USING UTILIZING SIDEWALK CAFES. AND I MEAN, THIS IS GOING TO BE SUPER UNPOPULAR IF WE HAD NO ON STREET PARKING IN THAT IMMEDIATE SQUARE AREA. AND IT WAS THIS SUPER WALKABLE ENVIRONMENT, LIKE I, I CALL IT A WIN AND GO BUILD ANOTHER PARKING GARAGE BECAUSE I THINK THAT I THINK THE OTHER THING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS IF THESE ARE SUCCESSFUL AND YOU'VE GOT THESE, YOU KNOW, GREAT, YOU KNOW, STREET PATIO THINGS, AND THEN PEOPLE ARE PULLING INTO PARK NEXT TO THEM, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF RUINS THAT ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE WITH THESE. AND SO I DON'T KNOW, I MEAN, YEAH, I MEAN, I CAN HEAR THAT ARGUMENT TOO. I JUST, I'M LIKE, ARE WE GOING JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT WITH, YOU KNOW, KIND OF NO DECISION MADE. HERE'S MORE. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LIKE MAKE A DECISION BECAUSE THOSE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS, YOU KNOW, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A CALL ON WHAT WE WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE. BUT I THINK ALSO WITH THE PILOT, IT'S GOING TO TELL US A LOT ABOUT HOW SUCCESSFUL THEY ARE, WHETHER THEY WORK, WHETHER IT'S I THINK THAT IN TEXAS, ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD SAY WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, IF CAN WE LOOK AT IT AND SEE, OKAY, WELL, HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY SIGN UP TO DO THIS AND THEN MAKE A DECISION ABOUT, OH, GOSH, WE HAVE THE WHOLE STREET ON THAT SIDE THAT ALL WANTS CAFE. SO WE NOW HAVE NO PARKING. IF THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT IS A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO DO THIS. BUT IS THAT I MEAN, IS THAT WHERE WE'RE LANDING? THAT'S THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING. THAT'S WHY I THINK THAT'S WHY IT'S A PILOT IN MY MIND. OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. I MEAN, AND IF IF WE'RE RUNNING THE PILOT AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S TEN PEOPLE ON ONE BLOCK, I KNOW THERE'S NOT TEN, BUT, YOU KNOW, SIGN UP FOR IT, THEN WE CAN COME LOOK AT THAT BLOCK IF THEY ALL SIGN UP FOR THE PILOT, WHICH I DON'T THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT OKAY, WELL THEN IF WE HAVE IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT THAT AND SAY, OKAY, THIS MAY BE PROBLEMATIC ON THIS BLOCK, BUT THIS BLOCK DOESN'T HAVE VERY MANY, THEN I'M OKAY WITH THAT. I JUST DON'T WANT US TO LEAVE IT JUST COMPLETELY, LIKE WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH PARKING. YEAH, I THINK STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO CAP IT AT THE TWO PER BLOCK, BECAUSE THAT'S EASY FOR US TO TRACK. IT'S EASY FOR US TO UNDERSTAND. IF WE DO GET A THIRD APPLICATION, WE CAN LET THEM KNOW THAT WE'VE REACHED OUR CAP FOR THAT BLOCK, BUT WE'LL DEFINITELY NOTE THAT AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU. I THINK FOR THE PILOT, TWO PER BLOCK IS PROBABLY THAT'S PROBABLY GENEROUS FROM WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE. YEAH.AND THAT'S WHERE I WAS SAYING TO ME, THAT SEEMS LIKE THE MOST LOGICAL OPTION. AND THE ONE THAT WOULD BE THE MOST, THE EASIEST TO MANAGE. AND THEN YES, IF YOU HAD THREE RESTAURANTS, THEN WE COULD COME BACK AND SAY, WELL, WITH THREE, THAT STILL WORKS. AND YOU KNOW, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. SO I JUST WANT US TO HAVE SOME IDEA THERE WHAT WE WERE DOING. AND THEN ON THE FEES ON SLIDE TEN, YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE IT AT A AGAIN, NOT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, JUST A FLAT FEE, RIGHT? YES. THAT WOULD BE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. YES.
OKAY. YEAH. AND I CAN I HEAR THAT TOO, AGAIN WITH THE PILOT, YOU KNOW, LET'S MAKE IT SIMPLE AND LEAVE A FLAT FEE. SO JUST WANTED TO GET CONSENSUS. IF WE WERE ALL FEELING LIKE THAT WAS A FAIR WAY TO GO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANKS. I'VE GOT A QUESTION REAL QUICK. ARE WE LIMITING THESE TO ONE PER RESTAURANT OR CAN ONE RESTAURANT HAVE TWO ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE SQUARE? LIKE WE'RE LIMITING IT TO TWO ON ONE SIDE? CAN ONE RESTAURANT HAVE BOTH THOSE? I DON'T THINK WE REALLY DETERMINE THAT IN THE ORDINANCE. IT DOESN'T REALLY SPECIFY THAT IT'S LIMITED. SHOULD WE LIMIT THAT? I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF MAKES SENSE FOR IT TO BE JUST ONE PER. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE SAID THAT, BUT THAT SEEMS LIKE IT. YEAH. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS, ARE WE RESTRICTING THEM TO HAVE IT IN FRONT OF THEIR BUSINESS? YES. SO PART OF THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN WHERE IT SHOWS THAT THEY CAN TAKE THE SPACES THAT ARE DIRECTLY
[01:05:03]
ADJACENT TO THE FRONTAGE OF THEIR BUILDING. IF THEY DO HAVE ANGLED PARKING OR SOMETHING, THAT WILL MAKE THAT BE IN THE FRONT OF ANOTHER ADJACENT BUSINESS, THEN THEY WOULD NEED TO HAVE THAT PROPERTY OWNER'S CONSENT. ALL RIGHT. HAVE YOU READ THE CAPTION? I HAVE, I JUST HAD ONE CLARIFYING QUESTION ON THE ONE RESTAURANT. ARE YOU SAYING LIKE IF THEY HAD TWO BUSINESS FRONTS FOR ONE RESTAURANT, IF THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE TWO APPLICATIONS TO GET ALL SIX SPACES, WAS THAT WHAT WE WERE ASKING? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR. I WAS MORE THINKING IF. I MEAN, YES, IT COULD BE THAT WAY OR IT COULD BE ONE RESTAURANT PUTS IN ONE, NOBODY ELSE PUTS IN ANOTHER ONE ON THERE, SO THEY JUST DOUBLE UP. OH NO, IT DOES LIMIT IT TO THEY ONE APPLICANT, LIKE ONE RESTAURANT CAN HAVE ONE APPLICATION AND IT'S A MAX OF THREE SPACES. ALL RIGHT. WE'VE READ THE CAPTION NO PUBLIC HEARING. SO I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'LL MOVE APPROVAL OF THE MOTION. SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR. AWESOME. THANK YOU KELLY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. LAST ITEM. NICK[6.G Public Hearing and First Reading - Serenity Ranch ETJ MUD ]
IS LEADING US ON THE SERENITY RANCH ETJ MUD. OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.NICK MUELLER, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. LOOKS LIKE YET AGAIN, I'M THE ONE STANDING IN BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SO. I THOUGHT WAYNE WAS TAKING THE NEXT MUD, BUT HE. BECAUSE HE DECIDED NOT TO BE HERE TONIGHT. OKAY, SO THIS IS A CONSENT AGREEMENT FOR THE SERENITY RANCH ETJ MUD. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE PROJECT TIMELINE. WE DID HAVE THE MUD DECLARATION OF INTENT SUBMITTED IN APRIL OF 2024. WE HAD A COUNCIL WORKSHOP WITH COUNCIL IN JULY OF THAT YEAR TO DISCUSS THE PROJECT, AND COUNCIL DID EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR STAFF TO NEGOTIATE THE CONSENT AGREEMENT. THIS ONE DID TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER JUST TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF THE DETAILS AND MAKE SURE IT WAS IN A IN THE PLACE THAT THAT WORKED FOR THE CITY AND FOR THE DEVELOPER DEVELOPERS SITTING BEHIND ME. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY, ANY QUESTIONS AS WE GO ALONG, HE'S HAPPY TO COME UP HERE AND ADDRESS THOSE. JUST A REMINDER, THE LOCATION. SO THIS IS JUST SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 150 AND EAST OF I 35 AND KIND OF TO THE NORTH EAST OF THE DRY BERRY CREEK. SO I'LL WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE AGREEMENT. AND SINCE IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE WHILE, ALL THE, ALL OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE AGREEMENT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ARE, ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT WAS DISCUSSED DURING THE COUNCIL WORKSHOP. SO THE FIRST BIG COMPONENT OF THE AGREEMENT COVERS ALL THE AUTHORIZED PURPOSES IN WHICH MUD BONDS CAN BE ISSUED. IT COVERS THE MUD BOND RESTRICTIONS AND THEN THE MUD MAXIMUM TAX RATE. AND THEN WE HAVE A SECTION ON PARKS, TRAILS AND AMENITIES WHICH OUTLINES THE AMOUNT OF PARKLAND.
IT ADDRESSES PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE TRAILS. WITH THIS BEING A LONG, DRY BERRY CREEK, THERE IS A KIND OF A FUTURE TRAIL CORRIDOR THAT THEY'LL CONSTRUCT A PORTION OF, AS IN MOST OF OUR AGREEMENTS, THE PARKLAND AMENITIES WILL BE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE HOA. THERE WILL BE A 2.2 ACRE AMENITY CENTER THAT WILL BE COMPLETED DURING PHASE THREE. AND YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE, THIS WAS A UNIQUE PART OF THIS PROJECT, AND I THINK PARTLY WHAT LED TO THE TO THE NAME SERENITY RANCH, YOU'VE GOT NOT ONLY THE THE DRY BERRY CREEK FLOODPLAIN, YOU HAVE SOME OTHER FLOODPLAIN THAT KIND OF RUNS UP THROUGH THE SITE. SO IT CREATED SOME NATURAL FEATURES THAT THEY COULD KIND OF BUILD UPON. AND SO YOU'LL SEE THE, THE AMENITY CENTER IS KIND OF STRATEGICALLY LOCATED. AND THEN THERE'S A SUNSET GARDEN THAT'S KIND OF BUILT INTO THE, THE BOTTOM LEFT PORTION OF THE PROJECT THERE THAT'LL CONNECT TO THE, TO THE TRAIL SYSTEM. SO IN TERMS OF LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT, WE'VE GOT A PHASING PLAN. YOU'LL SEE THE, THE MIX OF DEVELOPMENT ON, ON ONE OF THE NEXT SLIDES. BUT THE OTHER UNIQUE THING ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS THERE WAS A BROAD MIX OF, OF DEVELOPMENT TYPES RANGING FROM TRADITIONAL
[01:10:02]
MULTIFAMILY TO LOWER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. THERE WERE SOME LARGER LOT DEVELOPMENTS, PORTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN HERE. SO A BROAD RANGE. AND SO THERE'S A PHASING PLAN THAT KIND OF LINES OUT HOW THAT WILL ALL TAKE PLACE. IN TERMS OF UDC COMPLIANCE. WE WEREN'T SURE IF THIS WAS GOING TO COME BEFORE OR AFTER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW CODE. AND SO THIS WAS JUST MAKING SURE THAT THE NEW CODE IS GOING TO BE UTILIZED.THE THERE WILL BE A MASTER DEVELOPMENT FEE, WHICH WILL BE 8% OF EACH OF THE BOND ISSUANCES FOR THE MUD. AND HERE YOU CAN JUST SEE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S INCLUDED AS AN EXHIBIT IN THE AGREEMENT THAT KIND OF LINES OUT THE THE WAY THE PHASING WILL WORK. AND YOU'LL SEE, YOU'LL SEE PHASE ONE THERE. WE'LL, WE'LL GET TO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS IN A MINUTE, BUT JUST TO THE EAST OF PHASE ONE. AND PHASE FIVE IS SOMETHING YOU'LL SEE CALLED PETTY LANE. THAT'S ON OUR FUTURE MOBILITY PLAN AS A FUTURE ARTERIAL ROADWAY. AND SO ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF, OF PHASE ONE IS A GOOD PORTION OF THAT FUTURE ARTERIAL WILL BE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WITH PHASE ONE OF THIS PROJECT. AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, THERE'S A GOOD DIVERSITY OF, OF USES HERE WITHIN THIS RELATIVELY SMALL PROJECT. SO THERE'S A MAXIMUM OF 300 UNITS OF TRADITIONAL MULTIFAMILY. AND THEN THE, YOU'LL SEE THE PERCENTAGE SPLIT DOWN BELOW OF THE TOWNHOMES AND THE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS. AND YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A GOOD RANGE ALL THE WAY UP TO 100 FOOT WIDE, SINGLE FAMILY LOTS. AND THIS JUST SHOWS YOU WHERE, WHERE WITHIN THE, THE DEVELOPMENT, THOSE LOT TYPES WILL BE LOCATED. GENERALLY, THE DENSER PORTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT ARE CLOSER TO THE ROAD FRONTAGES. AND THEN AS YOU GET DOWN TOWARDS MORE OF THE NATURAL AMENITIES, YOU'VE GOT THE LARGER LOT TYPES. SO AS IN ALL OF OUR AGREEMENTS, WE HAVE THE, THE HOA REQUIREMENT IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO, TO MAINTAIN THE BIG AREA OF MAINTENANCE THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE COVER ARE THE DRAINAGE FACILITIES. YOU'LL SEE SOME LANGUAGE, AND WE HAVE THIS LANGUAGE IN ALL OF OUR AGREEMENTS WHERE IT'LL SAY THE DRAINAGE FACILITIES ARE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE DISTRICT AND OR THE HOA. THE GOAL IN AND ULTIMATELY WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THEY WILL BE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE HOA. THE REASON WE HAVE SOME OF THAT LANGUAGE IN THERE IS TO MAKE SURE IT CAN BE FINANCED. THE UPFRONT CONSTRUCTION CAN BE FINANCED BY THE MUD. THERE IS A PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE BY THE THE MUD DISTRICT. SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S A THERE'S AN AND OR LANGUAGE INCLUDED IN THERE. AND THEN SOMETHING NEW TO, TO OUR MUD AGREEMENTS THAT YOU'LL SEE COMING WITH, WITH ALL FUTURE MUD AGREEMENTS THAT HAVE ANY TRADITIONAL MULTIFAMILY IS THERE IS A RESTRICTION FROM SELLING THE MULTIFAMILY LAND TO A TAX EXEMPT PFC OR HFC. IN TERMS OF ARCHITECTURAL AND MASONRY REQUIREMENTS. AGAIN, SIMILAR TO ALL OF OUR MUD CONSENTS, NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS WILL HAVE 100% MASONRY, AND THEN THE REST OF THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE 75% MASONRY ON FRONTS, FIRST FLOOR OF SIDES AND BACKS AND ALL SIDES FACING A STREET OR PARKLAND. AND THEN THERE'S WALLS AND FENCING REQUIREMENTS. SO YOU'LL SEE WE'VE GOT AN EXHIBIT IN THE AGREEMENT THAT LINES OUT WHERE MASONRY WALLS ARE REQUIRED. AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S THERE'S SEPARATION REQUIRED WITH THOSE WALLS FROM A LOT OF THE ROADWAYS AND PARKLAND AMENITY CENTER AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES. AND HERE'S THE EXHIBIT THAT JUST LINES OUT WHERE THOSE WALLS ARE TO BE LOCATED. TRANSPORTATION IS A IS A BIG COMPONENT TO THIS AGREEMENT. AND SOMETHING THAT WILL BE WILL PROVIDE SOME BROADER BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY WITH, WITH THIS PROJECT. SO COUNTY ROAD 150, THERE WILL BE WITHIN PHASE ONE OF THE PROJECT, THERE WILL BE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERSECTION OF COUNTY ROAD 150 AND PETTY LANE. THERE WILL ALSO BE A PETTY LANE ENTRANCE ROAD, PHASE ONE, WHICH IS A TWO LANE NEIGHBORHOOD COLLECTOR THAT WILL SERVE AS THEIR MAIN ENTRY ROAD AND THEN PETTY LANE ITSELF. THIS IS THE FUTURE SIX LANE
[01:15:03]
MAJOR ARTERIAL, SO THEY WILL. THE DEVELOPER WILL ACQUIRE AND DEDICATE HALF THE WIDTH OF THE THE RIGHT OF WAY, AND THEN CONSTRUCT ONE HALF OF THE ROADWAY EXTENDING TO THE BOUNDARY OF THE LAND. AND THAT WILL INCLUDE 211 FOOT WIDE PAVED DRIVE LANES, RAISED CURB AND GUTTER LANDSCAPE AREA, SIDEWALK, AND THEN 3.5FT LANDSCAPE AREAS. AND HERE JUST OUTLINES WE HAD PHASE ONE IMPROVEMENTS THAT I TALKED THROUGH. I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE GOT THE. YEAH. SO I'LL HIT HIT ALL THOSE HERE. YOU'LL SEE PHASE ONE IN RED THERE KIND OF ON THE RIGHT SIDE. AND THEN PHASE TWO, WHICH I'LL COVER IS ARE THE GREEN IMPROVEMENTS ALONG COUNTY ROAD 150 ITSELF. SO IF YOU IF YOU'VE DRIVEN OUT THERE, COUNTY ROAD 150 IS A FAIRLY NARROW ROADWAY CURRENTLY. SO WITH PHASE TWO, THE DEVELOPER WILL GO IN AND ACTUALLY WIDEN COUNTY ROAD 150 TO HAVE THEM BE ACTUAL USEFUL TRAVEL LANES THAT WE DON'T HAVE OUT THERE TODAY. SO THAT'LL BE A, THAT WILL BE A BIG REGIONAL IMPACT AND BENEFIT IN THIS AREA.AND THIS JUST SHOWS THE, THE TURN LANE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY'LL MAKE AT THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN AT PETTY LANE SHOWS THE PETTY LANE CROSS SECTION. AND THEN AS I MENTIONED, PHASE TWO, THEY'LL HAVE THE ENTRY ROAD, THEY'LL HAVE THE COUNTY ROAD. 150 IMPROVEMENTS. SO THAT'LL ADD OR IT'LL MAKE. COUNTY ROAD. 152 12 FOOT WIDE PAVED DRIVING LANES. AND THEN THERE WILL BE TWO THREE FOOT WIDE SHOULDERS, WHICH IS A IT'S A PRETTY MAJOR IMPROVEMENT TO WHAT YOU HAVE OUT THERE. NOW. THERE'S ALSO A BEND AREA OF THAT ROAD THAT'S PRETTY, A PRETTY SHARP BEND. SO THE THAT BEND WILL BE REDESIGNED TO BE AT LEAST 30 FOOT WIDE AND THEN HAVE SOME SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AT THAT BEND AS WELL. JUST HIGHLIGHTING THAT AGAIN.
SHOWING THE CROSS FUTURE CROSS SECTION FOR COUNTY ROAD 150. THE IMPROVEMENTS AT THEIR ENTRY DRIVEWAY AND THEN WATER AND WASTEWATER. SO WATER SERVICE IS PROVIDED BY JONAH. THEY WILL HAVE WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES BUILT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AND. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE WATER SIDE HAS BEEN HANDLED BY JONAH. WE DO HAVE THE FIRE SIP FEE INCLUDED ON THIS SLIDE AS WELL. SO THEY WILL PAY THAT AT $630 PER PER LOT. AND THEN WASTEWATER. THEY WILL CONNECT TO THE DRY CREEK INTERCEPTOR, AND THEN THEY'LL CONSTRUCT A 12 INCH LINE.
THERE'S ABOUT 171FT OF OFF SITE IMPROVEMENTS TO CONNECT TO THE BCI. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO READ THE CAPTION AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. GOOD DAY CAPTAIN FIRST AND THEN THIS IS AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, APPROVING A CONSENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND COUNTY. CR150QOZB LP A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP CONSENTING TO THE CREATION OF AN ETJ MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT OVER APPROXIMATELY 112 ACRES OF LAND GENERALLY SITUATED ONE MILE EAST OF I 35, WITH A SMALL PORTION OF THE PROPOSED DISTRICT'S NORTHERN BOUNDARY. SITUATION SITUATION ADJACENT TO COUNTY ROAD 150. REPEALING CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU NICK.
ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS. I'LL START ON MY LEFT THIS TIME. JUST. NO QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE.
NO QUESTIONS. NICK, THE BERRY CREEK INTERCEPTOR. I'M SURE RIGHT NOW THERE'S AMPLE, AMPLE CAPACITY IN THAT LINE. BUT I KNOW WE WERE. THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HELP OPEN UP STUFF FURTHER UP NORTH AND WEST. IS THERE ANY CONCERN WITH THIS CONNECTING IN THE DENSITY THAT'S GOING IN HERE, CONNECTING TO THE SEWER LINE, TAKING UP CAPACITY FOR. FUTURE STUFF WE'RE HOPING TO SEE OR PLAN FOR MAYBE UP UPSTREAM? OR IS THIS KIND OF IN LINE WITH WHAT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WAS CALLING FOR IN THIS AREA? YEAH. THIS LINE IT'S AND IT WILL NOT RESTRICT ANY DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S THAT'S UPSTREAM. OKAY. THE 150 I BELIEVE ON OUR LONG TERM FUTURE PLAN, EVENTUALLY ONE WILL COME ACROSS AND CONNECT AND TAKE OVER. 150 ESSENTIALLY. IS THAT CORRECT? SO IS THIS GOING TO HELP, I GUESS, WITH SOME OF THAT IMPROVEMENT OR HELP LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE EXTENSION OF 195 IF AND WHEN THAT EVER HAPPENS, OR THIS IS
[01:20:05]
REALLY A, A, A KIND OF GET US TO THAT POINT. THIS IS NOT FACILITATING ANY OF THOSE FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS. YES. WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE INDICATING JUST FOR THE REST OF COUNCIL.SO COUNTY ROAD 150. EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE A BRIDGE THAT CROSSES OVER BERRY CREEK HERE AND CONNECTS CONNECTS INTO 195 IS WHAT IT WOULD ULTIMATELY TURN INTO THERE. SO THIS DOESN'T FACILITATE IT. AND IT'S A THIS IS A SMALL ENOUGH PROJECT THAT REQUIRING ANY CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THAT OR ASSISTANCE WITH THAT WOULD WOULD NOT HAVE REALLY MADE SENSE. VERY LITTLE FOOTAGE ON WHAT AT LEAST GETS IT WIDENED TO WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT CAN HANDLE SOME DEVELOPMENT UNTIL THAT IMPROVEMENT HAPPENS. I DON'T SEE IT IN THE PRESENTATION, BUT MAYBE, MAYBE I JUST MISSED IT. BUT DO YOU HAVE A SLIDE SHOWING THE COMPLIANCE WITH OUR POLICY? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT'S A VARIANCE FROM OUR POLICY? I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THAT TOO. I, I BELIEVE THERE'S A COMPLIANCE WITH EVERYTHING IN OUR POLICY FROM FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN. YEAH, I CAN'T REMEMBER. THE SUBSTANCE IS THE MAXIMUM. OKAY. YES, SIR.
I WAS LOOKING ABOUT AN INCIDENT IN THE. CONSENT AGREEMENT, 61, $61 MILLION IN TOTAL BOND DEBT IS THE EXPECTED AMOUNT. ON THE TAX EXEMPT PFC. HFC. COULD THAT BE EXPANDED TO BE BASICALLY ANY TAX EXEMPT ENTITY? MY QUESTION. SORT OF. I THINK THE RESTRICTION OR AGREEMENT THAT THERE WOULD BE MULTIFAMILY WOULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO HFC OR PFC. WHAT I'M ASKING IS COULD ALSO BE EXPANDED TO SAY ANY TAX EXEMPT ENTITY JUST TO MAKE SURE IT TAX THE PROPERTY TAX. THE FOLKS THERE ARE THE COUNTY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE. BUT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T GET TAKEN OFF THE TAX ROLLS ALTOGETHER. RIGHT. I THINK THERE WAS A DISCRIMINATORY. WE COULDN'T DO THAT. I THINK THERE WAS A REASON WE TALKED THROUGH THAT.
IT MAY BE SOMETHING WE NEED TO EXPLORE BEFORE THE SECOND READING. I THINK THERE WERE SOME IMPLICATIONS THAT MADE IT TO WHERE WE COULDN'T HAVE IT THAT BROAD. BUT YEAH, THAT'S MY RECOLLECTION, BUT HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THAT FURTHER BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND TO MAKE SURE WE CAN'T BROADEN IT. ARE YOU SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING TO LIKE THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OWNED ONES OR THOSE KINDS OF TRANSFERS? YEAH. REALLY ANY, ANY NONPROFIT WHATSOEVER WOULD TAKE IT ESSENTIALLY OFF THE PROPERTY, RIGHT. THAT WOULD TAKE A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT OFF THE. YEAH, WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT. BUT I THIS MAY BE THE BEST WE CAN DO, BUT WE'LL MAKE SURE WE CAN COVER MORE. THANK YOU. THE, THE IMPROVEMENTS TO 150 ARE GOOD. THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OTHER ROAD. I KNOW IT'S PLANNED, BUT THIS IS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE AREAS THAT HAS.
WE'VE SEEN SOME DECENT NUMBER OF ANNEXATIONS. WE SAW THE DEVELOPMENT OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. THE I DON'T KNOW, IT'S KIND OF A NO MAN'S LAND OUT THERE THAT I THINK THAT IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT'S JUST WE, THE CITY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE UP ON THAT AREA BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF IT'S GOING TO COME INTO THE CITY. BUT THAT SAID, OF COURSE, IN THE CONSENT AGREEMENT, ONCE THE BONDS WERE RETIRED OR FOR SOME REASON WE WANTED TO TAKE THEM OVER, THEY WOULD ANNEX INTO THE CITY, CORRECT? YES. YES. YEAH. NORMALLY I PUT THAT ON THE SIDE.
I JUST FORGOT TO THIS TIME. BUT WE DO HAVE THE ANNEXATION. OKAY. THAT THE CITY COULD DO THAT IN THE FUTURE. OBVIOUSLY 25 YEARS FROM NOW, WHICH ISN'T EVEN NOW, NOT EVEN THE START DATE, BUT IT'S A LONG TIME. AND WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY LIMITS. CAN YOU SPOT ZONE OR CAN YOU SPOT ANNEX IF THAT AGREEMENT IS IN PLACE? IF THERE WAS NO IF IT WAS NOT CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY LIMITS. SO THE THE WAY STATE LAW IS NOW, WE COULD, IF IT'S A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION, WE CAN ANNEX DOWN COUNTY ROAD. 150.
OKAY. WITH THE COUNTY'S APPROVAL. OKAY. IF IT'S VOLUNTARY. BUT WE COULDN'T DO IT. INVOLUNTARY. YEAH. OKAY. THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OTHER ROAD, NOT 150. I'M JUST WONDERING IF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A NICER ROAD JUST ENDS TO NOWHERE FOREVER. SO IF WE GO TO SLIDE 14. RIGHT THERE IN THE CENTER, THERE IS A FLOODPLAIN. AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE
[01:25:07]
A ROAD GOING THROUGH THE FLOODPLAIN, IS THAT GOING TO BE A LOW WATER CROSSING? IS IT GOING TO BE A BRIDGE? WHAT WHAT IS GOING TO GO ACROSS THAT FLOODED AREA, FLOODPLAIN AREA? THERE WILL BE, IF I SAY THIS WRONG, PLEASE CORRECT ME. IT WILL BE A BRIDGE. BUT THAT THAT FLOODPLAIN IS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER EXPLANATION. IT'S NOT SIGNIFICANT FLOODPLAIN. IT'S NOT SUPER DEEP. SO I THINK THERE'S A BRIDGE, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE A SUBSTANTIAL IT'S NOT A SUBSTANTIAL BRIDGE, BUT IT'S NOT A LOW WATER CROSSING. CULVERTS. OKAY. AND THEN TO THE EAST OF THAT IS PETTY ROAD, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A A SIX LANE ARTERIAL AT SOME POINT.AND WE'VE GOT THREE DRIVEWAY CUTS ON THAT IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF SPACE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SPACE IS, BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, HAVING THREE DRIVEWAY CUTS ON A MAJOR ROAD IS NOT WISE. AND CAN WE PLAN BETTER TO ACCOMMODATE A SIX LANE ROAD THAN TO HAVE THREE DRIVEWAYS THERE? YEAH, I THINK THE THE, THE THREE ITSELF IS ACCEPTABLE.
I THINK IN THE FUTURE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT ALL THREE OF THOSE WOULD NOT BE FULL ACCESS.
SO SOME OF THEM WOULD LIKELY END UP BEING RIGHT TURN IN ONLY. ARE HARD TO PROJECT OUT BECAUSE WHENEVER THAT WOULD BE SIX LANES AND IT'S HARD TO PROJECT, BUT I'M TRYING TO LOOK TO THE FUTURE TO AVOID PROBLEMS. WHAT WE'RE THE THE REAL CHALLENGE THERE IS THE. SOME OF THAT FLOODPLAIN DOES CREATE CHALLENGES TO THE. ANY LESS THAN THREE WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE. THAT'S THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND, BUT IT'S JUST. IT BOTHERS ME A LITTLE BIT, BUT I CAN GET OVER THAT. SO PETTY LANE HAS 12 EXCUSE ME, 11 FOOT WIDE LANES, BUT COUNTY ROAD 150 HAS 12 FOOT. BUT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE PETTY LANE BE A MAJOR ARTERIAL IN THE FUTURE. WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND MAKE IT 12 LANE 12 FOOT WIDE LANES TO BEGIN WITH. YEAH THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. SO OUR OUR UDC, THE CROSS SECTION WITHIN OUR DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR MAJOR ARTERIAL HAS 11 FOOT LANES, COUNTY ROAD 150 IN THE DIFFERENCES. ONCE THAT'S BUILT OUT, YOU'VE GOT CURB AND GUTTER. YOU'VE GOT SIDEWALKS. SO THE 11 FOOT LANES, THEY WORK ON COUNTY ROAD. 150 THE REASON WE'RE HAVING THEM DO 12 FOOT LANES IS THEY YOU'VE GOT CULVERTS, YOU'VE GOT YOU DON'T HAVE THE SIDEWALKS. AND SO, AND IT'S JUST TWO LANES. AND SO WITH NO MEDIAN THERE, WE WANT, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE 12 FOOT LANES. SO. BUT OUR FOR PETTY LANE THAT FUTURE ARTERIAL THAT THAT MEETS OUR CODE. OUR CODE OKAY HAS 11 FOOT LANES. THANK YOU. SECTION 6.01 SAY THAT'S THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL BE DISCLOSED AT CLOSING TO EACH PERSON OR PURCHASER OF THE LAND WITHIN THE DISTRICT. BUT EVERY OTHER PLACE WE HAVE LANGUAGE LIKE THAT WE TALK ABOUT AT CONTRACT SIGNING AND AT CLOSURE. WHY? WHY WAS THIS ONE SINGLED OUT TO ONLY BEING DISCLOSED TO THE BUYER AT CLOSING AND NOT AT CONTRACT SIGNING? SO THAT, I BELIEVE, IS THE. 601 IS. LET ME PULL THAT UP REAL QUICK. THE POST ANNEXATION SURCHARGE. YEAH, I THINK THE REASON FOR THAT I BELIEVE, AND WE CAN DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE SECOND READING IS OUR OTHER. SO THE STATE MANDATORY DISCLOSURE HAPPENS AT CLOSING. AND I THINK PART OF THE REASON FOR THAT IS YOU'VE GOT YOU'VE GOT A TITLE COMPANY, YOU HAVE A KIND OF A MECHANISM THERE THAT AT CONTRACT SIGNING IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. AND SO I BELIEVE IT WAS TO ALIGN IT WITH THE STATE REQUIRED MANDATORY DISCLOSURE TIMING OF BEING AT CLOSING, BUT WE CAN DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT BEFORE PLEASE DO. OUT IN SUN CITY, WE'VE HAD SOME PEOPLE OUT ALLEGATIONS THAT THEY WEREN'T TOLD THINGS THAT CONTRACT SIGNING AND MOST OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE READ SAYS IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE AT CONTRACT SIGNING AND AT CLOSURE AT CLOSING. AND SO I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY THAT PARTICULAR ONE WAS DIFFERENT. THEN IN EXHIBIT B, IT TALKS ABOUT THE A MINIMUM OF 70 FOOT OF 70 LOTS MAY BE REAL LOADED. YES, SIR. WHY SHOULDN'T IF IT'S GOING TO
[01:30:05]
BE A MINIMUM, WHY SHOULDN'T IT SAY SHELL. AND THAT MAY BE A LEGAL QUESTION THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS. YEAH. LET US DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT BEFORE SECOND READING, JUST TO SEE IF IT SHOULD BE CHANGED TO ZHAO. OKAY. AND THEN MY LAST ONE IS HOW MUCH IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE BONDS THAT. I BELIEVE IT WAS 60, 32.6032 OKAY. SO THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS. AND IF I DID MY MATH RIGHT, THAT'S $57,000 PER UNIT THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT THERE THAT WHEN PEOPLE BUY THAT, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. I THINK I'M BUYING SOMETHING FOR $500,000, AND IT'S REALLY COST ME $557,000 BECAUSE THIS MUD TAX IS ON THERE THAT I REALLY DON'T SEE. I MEAN, $0.95 IS THE THE MAX, BUT WE CAN GO DOWN TO $0.45. AND I JUST IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME THAT WE OUGHT TO BE DOING BETTER FOR OUR FUTURE BUYERS TO, TO WORK ON GETTING THAT COST DOWN TO SOMETHING MORE REASONABLE THAN $57,000 THAT I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT BECAUSE I MOVED IN FROM OUT OF STATE. AND WE DON'T HAVE THESE TYPES OF THINGS. WE HAVE COUNTY TAXES, HAVE CITY TAXES, WE HAVE SCHOOL TAXES. WHAT'S A MUD? SO ANYWAY, THAT'S THAT'S MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THE NOT THAT IT'S A MUD, BUT THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CHARGING PEOPLE. THANK YOU. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH TO ADD. I THINK A LOT HAS BEEN SAID. I WANT TO ECHO MAYBE SOME SOME OF WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER PITTS SAID. IT SEEMS TO ME THE THE PRIMARY. PUBLIC BENEFIT IS THE IMPROVEMENTS ON COUNTY ROAD 150 AND THE. THE IMPROVEMENTS ON PETTY. BUT WITH THE PAST PATCHWORK OF. OF ETJ ANNEXATIONS OUT THERE, A FAIRLY ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT IN MY MIND, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT CONSTITUTES AN EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC BENEFIT. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THIS THE WHOLE ADJACENT AREA MAY END UP BEING OUTSIDE OF GEORGETOWN'S ETJ EVEN.ANYWAY. SO I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS REALLY FITS WELL WITHIN OUR MUD POLICY.
IT MAY BE EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC BENEFITS AND ABSTRACT TERM, BUT IT MAY IT'S IT'S SEEMS FAIRLY REMOVED FROM THE REST OF THE CITY LIMITS. THAT 61 I WAS GOING OFF OF IS BASED ON PAGE 135 OF THE CONSENT AGREEMENT, JUST FYI, I DON'T KNOW. IT'S THE CUMULATIVE TOTAL. IT SHOWS THE DEBT ISSUANCES AND. OKAY. YEAH, WE'LL WE'LL LOOK AT THAT AND DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE SECOND READING. YEAH. AMERICAN. YEAH, SURE. MAYOR COUNCIL. RAJEEV PURI I DID WANT TO ADD THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING ADDITIONAL PROPERTY IN THIS AREA, SO WE HOPE TO ADD SOME MORE TO IT. WE'VE GOT 30 ACRES ADDITIONAL AND WE'RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER POTENTIALLY 86 ACRES. SO IF THAT THE POINT IS THAT WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, THIS IS WHAT WAS PLANNED FOR. THERE'S A LOT OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE AREA, BUT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL IN THE AREA. SO OUR THOUGHT WAS IF WE STARTED IT WITH A NICE DEVELOPMENT, HIGHER END MASONRY REQUIREMENTS IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND IT. FROM A TRANSPORTATION STANDPOINT, HOPEFULLY MORE PEOPLE WILL GET INTO AND BUILDING OUT THIS BASED ON THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN THAT THE CITY HAS LAID OUT.
SO JUST WANT TO ADD THAT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU SIR. NICK, I WAS GOING TO ASK ONE OTHER QUESTION. SO I WAS LOOKING AT WHERE THE STUBS ARE ON THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S ONLY ONE ON THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY ON THE NORTH AND WEST. AND I THINK I THINK I SEE ONE IN THE BROWN ON THE ONE THAT'S TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. IS THAT. IT? YES, IT, IT DOES MEET OUR CODE. I, I'LL LET RAJIV COME UP AND TALK THROUGH WHY THAT KIND OF MAKES SENSE AND HOW THAT FITS INTO WHAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAPPEN ON THOSE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.
YEAH. SO RIGHT NOW WE ARE SHOWING IF YOU CAN SEE THIS, RIGHT, THERE'S A CONNECTION RIGHT HERE. OH, THAT'S I WAS THINKING THAT WAS A CUL DE SAC THAT WOULDN'T BE PUNCHED THROUGH. SO THAT'S, THAT'S A ROUNDABOUT IS WHAT THAT IS. YEAH. THAT'S A CONNECTION.
THERE'S A CONNECTION RIGHT HERE IN THIS LOCATION. AND THEN THERE'S IT'S HARD TO SEE. YEAH.
THERE'S A I THOUGHT I SAW ONE THERE. YEAH. SO THERE'S LIKE AT LEAST THREE CONNECTIONS THAT ARE THERE. WELL, YOU'RE LIMITED ON WHAT YOU CAN DO ON THIS SOUTHEAST SIDE. THAT'S RIGHT,
[01:35:04]
THAT'S RIGHT. AND THE 30 ACRES THAT WERE PICKING UP IS RIGHT HERE IN THIS PIECE RIGHT HERE.SO THAT WILL MAKE THAT CONNECTION AND IT'LL FLOW REALLY WELL BECAUSE IT'LL PROVIDE HOUSING ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT NATURAL AREA WITH PONDS AND STUFF. GOT IT. THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, SO I'LL CLOSE IT. ENTERTAIN A MOTION. WE CAN HAVE SOME DISCUSSION. MAYOR. I MOVED TO DENY ITEM SIX. G IS PRESENTED. I'LL SECOND. I THINK MY MY RATIONALE IS JUST WHAT I SAID. I DON'T SEE AN EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC BENEFIT FOR THE CITY AS AS PRESENTED. MY OBJECTION IS THE MATTER OF THE TAX. GOT A MOTION TO DENY AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? KEVIN, I'M GOING TO VOTE AGAINST THE MOTION TONIGHT.
I'D LIKE TO GET IT TO SECOND READING AND HEAR SOME OF THE UPDATES FROM WHAT WE DISCUSSED TONIGHT, AND THEN MAKE A DECISION AT THAT POINT AT THE MEETING. I GOT A MOTION. AND SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR THE MOTION TO DENY. ALL RIGHT. THAT FAILS TO HAVE A SECOND MOTION MOVE.
APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. FIRST READING SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. I'VE GOT FOUR. TWO. I HAD TO DO MATH AGAIN. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL SEE THIS AGAIN AT
