OWNER IS TWO M TEXAS LLC SERIES A.

TRENTON.

IN OPPOSITION, ZERO LETTERS IN SUPPORT.

UH, THE PROPOSED REQUEST IS FOR A SPECIFIC SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A SHORT-TERM RENTAL LOCATE THREE 13 HIGHLAND AVENUE.

UH, THE PROPOSED REQUEST, UH, DOES MEET OUR MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED SINGLE FAMILY TWO DISTRICT.

UH, PROPERTY TO THE LEFT IS AN EXISTING MANUFACTURED HOME, UH, DEVELOPMENT.

UH, THE PROPOSED REQUEST DOES INCLUDE THREE BEDROOMS, APPROXIMATELY 1000 SQUARE FEET, AND IT'LL HAVE THREE OFF STREET PARKING, UH, SPACES.

ONCE AGAIN, AS PART OF THE REGULATIONS.

UM, NO ON STREET PARKING WILL BE PERMITTED PER THE SUP.

UM, EAD DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY AS A HOMESTEAD, AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU, TRENTON.

I LIVE AT 2 5 4 BEAR TRAIL, WASATCH, TEXAS.

UH, WE ARE IN AN ASSOCIATION AND THERE'S BEEN, UH, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL AIRBNBS MOVING IN.

UH, THERE IS A COVENANT FOR OUR ASSOCIATION THAT STATES A SHORT TERM RENTAL.

UH, A RENTAL HAS TO BE AT LEAST SIX MONTHS.

SO I AM OPPOSING SHORT TERM RENTALS IN OUR RESIDENTIAL AREA.

ANYONE ELSE? PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.

JUST TO CLARIFY, THAT'S NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THIS RIGHT? OBJECT.

THAT I DON'T KNOW WHERE BEARER IS.

OBJECT COMPLEX.

ITEM IS CONSIDER PROPOSED ORDINANCE APPROVING ZDC 78 20 25.

'CAUSE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, THIS NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T HAVE A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, SO, OKAY.

ANYONE ELSE? OKAY, SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[8. Consider proposed Ordinance approving ZDC-78-2025 ]

MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE TO APPROVE ZDC 78 20 25.

A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR SHORT-TERM RENTAL USE SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE STAFF REPORT AND AUTHORIZING THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER OR MAYOR TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS FOR ROADS, WATER, AND WASTE WATER, AND THE POSSIBLE IMPOSITION OF AN IMPACT FEE.

[9. Public Hearing on a proposed amendment of land use assumptions and capital improvement plans for roads, water and wastewater, and the possible imposition of an impact fee ]

JUSTIN, IS IT JUSTIN'S NOT HERE.

UM, THIS IS EDDIE HAAS WITH OUR, OUR CONSULTANT FOR OUR IMPACT FEE ANALYSIS AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW.

THIS IS THE REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING, UM, AND THEY'RE HERE TO PRESENT OUR, THEIR FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS AND ANSWER.

ANY QUESTIONS? VERY GOOD.

GOOD EVENING.

EDMUND HAAS WITH FRIESA NICHOLS.

WITH ME TONIGHT IS COLIN CARLSON.

COLIN LED THE UPDATE OF THE WATER AND WASTEWATER COMPONENT.

I LED THE UPDATE OF THE ROADWAY COMPONENT.

AND SO WE HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION TO REVIEW ALL THE TECHNICAL ELEMENTS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, DISCUSS SOME OF THE POLICY AND PROCEDURAL ELEMENTS THAT YOU MAY WANT TO GO FORWARD WITH TONIGHT.

SO, UH, WHY ARE WE HERE? CHAPTER 3, 9 5.

THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE REGULATES THE REQUIREMENTS THAT BOTH THE TECHNICAL AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH FOR THE UPDATE OF IMPACT FEE PROGRAMS. YOU ALL HAVE HAD AN IMPACT FEE PROGRAM FOR WATER WASTEWATER SINCE 2001 AND THE ROAD COMPONENTS SINCE 2007.

IT ALSO REGULATES THE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY BY WAY OF RESOLUTIONS, CALLING FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING, AVAILABILITY OF REPORTS, THE NO NOTICING IN THE NEWSPAPER, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION.

ALL THOSE ELEMENTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED, UH, AND MET, UH, FOR THIS UPDATE.

FOR THOSE THAT ARE NEW TO IMPACT FEES, IMPACT FEE IS A ONE-TIME CHARGE AGAINST NEW DEVELOPMENT FOR THE IMPACT PUT ON INFRASTRUCTURE, SPECIFICALLY ROADS, WATER, AND WASTEWATER.

THE LARGER THE DEVELOPMENT, THE LARGER THE IMPACT ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE LARGER THE FEE, UH, THE, UH, POLICY HAS BASICALLY BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS THAT NEW GROWTH SHOULD SHARE IN THE COST OF INFRASTRUCTURE.

WHAT'S BEFORE YOU IS, IS A RECOMMENDATION ON WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THAT SHARE SHOULD YOU NEW, UH, SHOULD NEW DEVELOPMENT, UH, BEAR BY WAY OF IMPACT FEES.

THEY CAN PAY FOR, UH, ALL THE COSTS OF PUTTING NEW APARTMENTS ON THE GROUND.

BASICALLY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEW CAPACITY TYPE PROJECTS.

ROAD WIDENINGS, NEW ROADWAYS ONLY NEW CAPACITY THAT'S

[00:15:01]

GONNA BE BROUGHT, UH, TO THE TOWN.

UM, ANYTHING IS ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE.

THAT'S TYPICALLY SOMETHING ELSE.

SO MONIES COLLECTED THROUGH AN PROGRAM GOES TO PAY FOR SPECIFIC PROJECTS ON A SPECIFIC IMPACT VCIP.

AND THOSE ARE SPECIFICALLY BANK ACCOUNTS FOR THOSE PROJECTS.

AND, UM, IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH THAT PROGRAM.

BY WAY OF THE PROCESS, WE'LL, WE'LL GO THROUGH THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, THE ASSOCIATED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLANS, AND THEN ULTIMATELY THE REPORT THAT HAS ALL THE DOCUMENTATION, THE TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU ALL HAVE HAD, UH, AND HAS BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE JULY 2ND, UH, TO THE PUBLIC.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER, UH, THERE WAS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE INVOLVED AS PART OF THIS PROCESS.

UH, THEY WERE YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PLUS ONE ADDITIONAL MEMBER FROM YOUR ETJ.

UH, THEY PROVIDED INPUT AND COMMENT TO THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN, AND ULTIMATELY MADE A RECOMMENDATION.

THAT'S PART OF THE LETTER THAT'S IN YOUR PACKET, UH, THIS EVENING BY WAY OF THE LUA, THIS IS A FORECAST OF HOW WE SEE GROWTH OCCURRING OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

THIS IS SPECIFICALLY 2025 THROUGH 2035.

IT FORMS THE BASIS FOR THE NUMBER OF SERVICE UNITS ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF NEW GROWTH BECOMES THE DENOMINATOR AND THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT CALCULATION.

A LOT OF TECHNICAL WORK WENT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IT.

ONE KEY WRINKLE THAT WAS PART OF THIS PROGRAMMATIC UPDATE WAS, UH, THE CONSOLIDATION OF A FEW OF THE ROADWAY SERVICE AREAS, UH, CONSOL, UH, SERVICE AREAS PREVIOUSLY.

THREE AND FOUR WERE CONSOLIDATED, UH, INTO, UH, I'M SORRY, FOUR AND FIVE WERE CONSOLIDATED INTO SERVICE AREA FOUR AND SIX AND, UH, SEVEN WERE CONSOLIDATED INTO SERVICE.

AREA FIVE.

THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS ARE PREDICATED ON THESE SERVICE AREAS.

ROADS HAS MULTIPLE BECAUSE BY LAW YOU CAN'T HAVE SERVICE AREAS GREATER THAN SIX MILES.

THIS, THIS STRUCTURE HAS GENERALLY BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAM BACK IN OH SEVEN.

THE WATER AND THE WASTEWATER WERE REFINED TO REALLY ALIGN WITH YOUR CITY LIMITS.

THE, THE, THE KIND OF THE THOUGHT IN TERMS OF GROWTH PROCESS WAS THAT WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GROW INWARD, UH, FULFILLING THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS AND NOT EXTEND OURSELVES BEYOND, UH, TOO, TOO MUCH IN THE, IN THE, UH, CCN OR YOUR ETJ.

A LOT OF ANALYSIS WENT INTO THE GROWTH PROJECTIONS.

LOOKING AT HISTORIC REVIEW OF HOW ANNUALLY WAXAHATCHEE HAS BEEN GROWING.

WE LOOKED AT BUILDING PERMIT DATA.

WE LOOKED AT AVAILABILITY OF LAND, THE, THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT AND WHERE THE LIKELIHOOD OF WHERE THAT WAS GOING TO OCCUR.

UH, FROM A 10 YEAR FORECAST PERSPECTIVE.

UH, THE, YOU'RE CURRENTLY SITTING AT ABOUT 50,900 ANTICIPATING TO GROW BY ABOUT 24,000 PERSONS OVER THE 10 YEAR WINDOW TO A POPULATION OF 75,000 IN 2035.

THIS, THIS GOT A TABLE HERE.

THAT'S ALSO PART OF THE REPORT BREAKS DOWN THE, THE ROAD, THE, THE POPULATION BY THE ROADWAY COMPONENTS, WATER WASTEWATER.

IT'S ALL ROLLED UP INTO THE CITY LIMITS.

THE ROADS ALIGNS WITH YOUR CITY LIMITS.

SO THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN OF FORECASTED GROWTH BY SERVICE AREA.

WE WENT THROUGH A SIMILAR ANALYSIS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL GROWTH.

THE REASON WE GO THROUGH THAT DETAIL IS BECAUSE TRAFFIC GENERATES A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY FOR OFFICE COMMERCIAL RETAIL THAN IT DOES FOR FOR RESIDENTIAL.

THE SHADED AREAS THERE, UH, THROUGHOUT THE CITY ARE KNOWN AND ANTICIPATED DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE WILL OCCUR OVER THE 10 YEAR WINDOW.

UH, THE RESULT WAS, UH, EMPLOYMENT, UH, THAT'S ANTICIPATED TO GROW BY ABOUT 10,500 FROM A CURRENT EMPLOYMENT BASE OF 34,000 TO ABOUT 45,000 BY YEAR 2035.

BOTH THE POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT ALIGNED WITH A GROWTH RATE OF ABOUT 3.76 FOR POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT ABOUT 2.7.

THAT'S SLIGHTLY AN INCREASE OVER THE LAST FIVE YEAR UPDATE, WHICH, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WAS 3.5 AND 2.3 RESPECTIVELY.

SO AGAIN, THE LUA FORMS, UH, THE, THE GROWTH THAT'S ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR, UM, BY WAY OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLANNING.

THIS IS WHERE THE DETAIL, UH, WENT INTO, UH, THE PROGRAM.

THE ROADWAY, CIP IS ROOTED IN YOUR THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

ARTERIAL CLASS AND COLLECTOR CLASS FACILITIES IDENTIFIED ON YOUR THOROUGHFARE PLAN ARE ELIGIBLE FOR INCORPORATION.

WHAT THIS GRAPH DEPICTS HERE ARE TWO KINDS OF ROADS, THOSE THAT ARE ON THE STATE SYSTEM IN WHICH THE, THE CITY WILL LIKELY PARTICIPATE WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY ONLY VERSUS THE OTHER, OTHER PROJECTS WHICH WILL BE, UM, THE, UH, A COSTING FOR RIGHT OF WAY CONSTRUCTION, ENGINEERING, ET CETERA, FOR GETTING THOSE PERS ON THE GROUND.

APPENDIX H DETAILS, ALL THE COST ESTIMATE WORKSHEETS THAT WERE PREPARED.

THESE ARE PLANNING LEVEL ESTIMATES PREPARED FOR, UH, THE ROADWAY.

CIP BASICALLY A UNIT COST APPROACH FOR EACH PROJECT WAS UNDERTAKEN.

WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PROJECTS, 121 PROJECT SEGMENTS, UH, THAT WERE, UH, THAT FORMULATE THE ROAD.

CIP.

THE TOTAL COST OF THAT IS ABOUT $690 MILLION OF THAT.

[00:20:01]

THAT'S NECESSITATED BY GROWTH IS 10 YEAR GROWTH.

ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR IS ABOUT $72 BILLION.

SO THAT GROWTH AS PART OF THE LUA WILL WILL RESULT IN COST OF ABOUT $72 MILLION.

THAT'S ANTICIPATED TO BE, UH, RECOUPED.

THAT'S ABOUT 21% OF CAPACITY THAT'S PROVIDED, UM, BY YOUR CIP BECAUSE ROADS HAS HAS DIFFERENT SERVICE AREAS.

YOU HAVE FIVE DIFFERENT CALCULATIONS INDEPENDENTLY DONE.

YOU'LL HAVE FIVE SEPARATE NUMBERS.

UH, SO THE REPORT GOES THROUGH THE CALCULATION AND THIS, THIS GRAPHIC HERE BASICALLY SHOWS TWO COLUMNS OF CAPACITY MADE AVAILABLE IN EACH ROADWAY SERVICE AREA.

THE SECOND COLUMN IS THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS OF THAT DOES NECESSITATED LOOK, IF WE ONLY NEED, SAY, 40 OR 60% OF THE CFP, THAT'S THE ONLY PORTION OF THE COST INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATION.

OKAY? UH, THERE'S A DETAILED ENUMERATION OF THE CAPACITY AND THE COSTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE AS PART OF THE CFP BY SERVICE AREA.

YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS.

THERE'RE ALSO TABLES 3.8, 3.9, THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT.

THE NET COST AND THE COST ATTRIBUTABLE ARE ALSO HIGHLIGHTED.

BUT WHERE IT GOES TO ULTIMATELY IS THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT HIGHLIGHTED IN THE GREEN COLUMN.

ON THE FAR RIGHT, THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED THE CREDITED MAXIMUM.

THIS IS THE MAXIMUM THAT YOU COULD COLLECT FROM NEW DEVELOPMENT.

IF YOU ALL WANTED TO GO TO THAT CEILING, IT'S WITHIN YOUR PURVIEW AS POLICY TO DETERMINE WHAT THAT COLLECTION RATE IS.

HISTORICALLY, YOU HAVE BEEN COLLECTING AT THE 50% THRESHOLDS.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS, UH, THAT VARY ANYWHERE FROM 1380, UH, AS A LOW TO A HIGH OF 1779 ACROSS THE SERVICE AREAS.

WE HAVE AN OVERALL AVERAGE THERE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION, UH, IF YOU WERE TO BE, UH, IF YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE OVERALL AVERAGE IS.

BUT BY LAW, EACH ONE OF THOSE SERVICE AREAS ARE THE INDIVIDUAL MAXES THAT YOU CAN COLLECT.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT THAT COST PER SERVICE UNIT FOR ROADS AT LEAST, IS TRAFFIC GENERATES DIFFERENT DEPENDING UPON THE KIND OF LAND USE.

FAST FOOD GENERATES DIFFERENT FROM OFFICE, WHICH GENERATES DIFFERENT FROM DAYCARE AND SO ON.

SO THERE'S A LAND USE EQUIVALENCY TABLE THAT'S BEEN UPDATED WITH, UH, MORE CURRENT INFORMATION BASED ON TRIP RATE DATA.

SO TRIP RATE AND TRIP LENGTH FORMULATES TO THE SERVICE UNIT FOR ROADS, THE VEHICLE MILE, THE FAR RIGHT COLUMN, WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN.

THAT'S THE TABLE THAT STAFF USES FOR ASSESSING HOW MUCH IMPACT A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL WILL BRING TO THE COMMUNITY DEPENDING ON THE SIZE AND TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT, WE USE THAT LUE TABLE FOR CALCULATING THE FEES.

THAT'S THE CIP FOR THE ROAD COMPONENT.

ANY QUESTIONS ON ROADS? OKAY.

I'M GOING TO JUST, I, I JUST WANTED YOU TO POINT OUT ON YOUR 10 YEAR PROJECTION YES.

WHERE YOU'RE SHOWING THE GROWTH, COULD YOU PUT THAT MAP BACK UP THERE AND SHOW WHERE THE GROWTH 10 YEARS RESIDENTIAL OR NON RESIDENTIAL? THE, IT'S BOTH.

THE ONES WHERE IT SHOWS, THIS IS RESIDENTIAL, WHERE IT SHOWS EVERYTHING MOVING TO THE SOUTH AND NOT THE NORTH ANYMORE.

NO.

THERE'S GROWTH OCCURRING ACROSS THE CITY.

IT'S JUST THE MORE DENSE OR MORE IMPACTFUL GROWTH IS THE DARKER COLORS THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED.

SO THAT WAS THE POPULATION AND KIND OF THE ORANGE, DARKER ORANGE COLORS.

UH, AND THEN YOUR NON-RES, I'M SORRY, YOUR, YEAH, YOUR NON-RESIDENTIAL FORECASTS THAT ARE KIND OF THE SHADED THERE IN THE CREAM.

SO THAT, THAT VARIES ACROSS THE, THE COMMUNITY.

BUT I JUST, I JUST WANT YOU TO SHOW IT SO THAT OH YEAH.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THE PROJECTION IS SOUTH 'CAUSE OH YEAH.

A LOT.

WE HEAR IT ALL THE TIME ABOUT EVERYTHING'S GOING NORTH AND WE'RE CREATING TOO MANY ISSUES IN THE NORTH.

NO, THIS, SO YOU PROJECTING THAT THINGS ARE GONNA GO SOUTH.

THAT'S CORRECT.

THERE'S A LOT, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PLANNING AND ACTIVITY GOING ON IN YOUR SOUTH HIGH SCHOOLS GOING THERE.

SOME INFRASTRUCTURE NEED ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, BUT THERE'S ALSO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY GOING ON IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE TOWN TOO.

AND THEN ONE OTHER POINT IS THAT WHEN YOU SHOWED THAT WE'RE COLLECTING 50% MM-HMM .

I BELIEVE THE LAST TIME Y'ALL HAD TO DO THIS FIVE YEARS AGO, WE WERE ONLY DOING 35% AND WE CHANGED IT, OR 40% BECAUSE WE CHANGED IT TO GO UP TO THE MAX.

RIGHT.

IT WAS A STAIR, IT WAS A STAIR STEP UP.

WE WENT UP TO THE MAX.

THAT'S CORRECT, BECAUSE WE WEREN'T THAT IS CORRECT.

YOU FINISHED OUT AT THE 50%.

AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS BASICALLY WE MADE THE DEVELOPERS START PAYING THEIR FULL HALF INSTEAD OF THE CITY SUBSIDIZING IT.

AND YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.

I HIGHLIGHTED WHAT THE COST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE WAS, RIGHT? SOMEONE'S GONNA PAY FOR THIS COST, AND YOU'RE ASKING NEW DEVELOPMENT TO SHARE IN THAT COST.

THERE'S STILL THE OTHER HALF OF THAT EQUATION THAT, THAT IF OTHER 50% YOUR TAX BASE PICKS UP.

THAT'S YOU ALL THAT PICKED THAT UP.

SO THERE, IT'S NOT THAT IT'S ONLY THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AND IT'S A FEE THAT THEY'RE GETTING HIT WITH.

THIS IS COST FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THAT GROWTH.

THE WATER SYSTEM, UM, I BELIEVE THERE'S ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE EXISTING ELIGIBLE PROJECTS.

YEAH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ROAD COMPONENT? OKAY, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO, UH, CULLEN ON THE, THE WATER WASTEWATER.

THANK YOU EDDIE.

UM, SO JUST TO KIND OF STEP BACK FROM THE IMPACT FEE, WE RECENTLY COMPLETED THE WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN WHERE WE SAT DOWN AND WE TOOK A LOOK AT WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE YOU HAVE TODAY.

AND THEN AS YOU GROW TOWARDS BUILD OUT, WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE DO YOU NEED INTO THE FUTURE? SO THAT MASTER PLAN, THE WATER AND THE WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN KIND OF FED INTO THE PROJECTS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THIS IMPACT.

VCIP.

SO ON

[00:25:01]

THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT WERE COMPLETED BEFORE WE IDENTIFIED PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE.

UM, THESE WERE PROJECTS THAT WHEN THEY WERE BUILT, THEY WEREN'T BUILT FOR THE CAPACITY JUST NEEDED THAT DAY.

THEY WERE BUILT OVERSIZED TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE SOME ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.

SO THOSE PROJECTS ARE IMPACT FEE, UH, ELIGIBLE, UM, AS WELL AS THE NEW PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO SERVE GROWTH INTO THE FUTURE.

SO THERE'S ABOUT EIGHT IMPACT FEE ELIGIBLE PROJECTS THAT WERE ALREADY COMPLETED.

AND THEN ABOUT 21, 22 PROJECTS THAT WERE, UH, PROPOSED INTO THE FUTURE.

UM, AND SO THE TOTAL PROJECT COST, UM, SO AS EDDIE MENTIONED, WE'RE ONLY LOOKING OUT 10 YEARS.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CAPACITY OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

SO THE FULL PROJECT COST IS $387 MILLION FOR ALL THE PROJECTS, UM, THAT WERE IDENTIFIED.

HOWEVER, WE CAN ONLY UTILIZE THE NEXT 10 YEARS IS THE CAPACITY THAT'S NEEDED.

AND SO THAT'S THE UTILIZED CAPACITY COST DURING THE IMPACT FEE PERIOD, WHICH IS THAT 76 MILLION, UH, 645,000.

SO THAT'S ON THE WATER CIP SIDE.

UM, ON, UH, FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE IMPACT FEES, WE HAD TO UTILIZE THE SERVICE UNIT EQUIVALENTS, WHICH IS THE METERS.

SO ON THE ROADWAY, YOU GOT THE VEHICLE MILES ON THE WATER AND THE WASTEWATER SIDE, YOU HAVE THE METERS.

SO A STANDARD METER SIZE IS A THREE QUARTER INCH METER WITHIN THE SYSTEM SERVICE EQUIVALENT UNIT OF ONE.

AND THEN AS THE METERS GET BIGGER, THERE'S A BIGGER, UH, DEMAND FOR WATER AND IMPACT ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE.

SO, UH, THESE SERVICE UNIT EQUIVALENTS ARE THE BASIS FOR, AS WE START MOVING UP AND HOW WE PROJECT OUT HOW MANY SERVICE UNITS WE'RE GONNA GROW.

UM, SO PROJECTING THE SERVICE UNITS, UM, OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, GROWING 9,513, UH, SERVICE UNITS.

SO AGAIN, YOUR STANDARD METER SIZE, THOSE IS YOUR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

AND THEN THE NON-RESIDENTIAL, THE BIGGER METERS AS YOU KIND OF STEP UP WITH THE BIGGER IMPACT, UM, THAT'S HOW IT'S GROWING OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

UM, SO THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY TABLE.

SO THE, UH, TOTAL ELIGIBLE IMPACT VCIP COSTS AT 76,645,000, UM, OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

THAT'S, UM, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, THE NUMERATOR GOES ON THE TOP AND THEN THOSE SERVICE UNITS, UH, THE GROSS AND SERVICE UNITS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, THAT 9,513, UH, THAT'S YOUR DENOMINATOR.

SO, UM, THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WITHOUT THE CHAPTER 3 95 IMPACT FEE CREDIT IS THE 8,057.

UM, BUT CHAPTER 3 95 ONLY ALLOWS US TO CHARGE THE 50% OF THAT AS IF YOU TALKED ABOUT, SO THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WATER IMPACT FEE IS THE 4,028.

WE LOOKED AT THE IMPACT FEE ELIGIBLE PROJECTS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED, UM, IDENTIFIED THE PROJECTS NECESSARY TO SERVE THE FUTURE GROWTH.

SO, UM, MORE PEOPLE, YOU NEED BIGGER PIPES TO GET IT OUT OF THE SYSTEM.

UM, SIMILAR APPROACH.

THE TOTAL PROJECT COSTS 662 MILLION, 750,000, UM, FOR THE NECESSARY WASTEWATER PROJECTS.

UM, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, UH, AN EXPANSION THAT THE TREATMENT PLANT.

UH, SOME NEW LIFT STATIONS, SOME DIFFERENT PROJECTS THERE.

BUT WE LOOK OUT THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

UM, SO WHICH, HOW MUCH, UH, IS IMPACT FEE ELIGIBLE FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS? AND THAT'S OUR 93 MILLION, UH, 904,000 SIMILAR WE USE, UH, THE METERS ON THE WASTEWATER AS WELL.

UM, SO THAT'S OUR, OUR NORMALIZED, UM, THE GROWTH IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS, 8,811.

AND SO WE HAD THE, THE SIMILAR COST CALCULATION WHERE WE'VE GOT THE 93,904,000, UH, FOR THE TOTAL IMPACT FEE ELIGIBLE COSTS, UM, THE GROWTH IN THE SERVICE UNITS, 8,811 FOR THE TOTAL MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE OF 10,658.

BUT THEN WE TAKE OFF THAT, UH, CREDIT FOR, UH, 50%.

AND SO THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE FOR A SINGLE, UH, SINGLE FAMILY OR THREE QUARTER INCH METER 5,329.

UM, SO THIS IS JUST A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT.

UM, SO AS YOU MENTIONED, UH, THE LAST UPDATE, IT WAS 3,275 ON THE WATER SIDE, 3,781 ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE.

UM, WITH GROWING COSTS, THESE NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP A LITTLE BIT FOR THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE, UM, FOR 2025.

QUESTIONS ON THE WATER AND THE WASTEWATER CALCULATIONS.

OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND WE'RE THEN IDENTIFYING THE PORTION THAT'S ELIGIBLE OR ATTRIBUTABLE TO GROWTH.

TURN IT BACK OVER TO THEM.

VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.

WE'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAD, WE'RE IDENTIFYING SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS

[00:30:01]

IT'S NOT LIKE WE LOSE THAT REMAINING COST AS THE PROGRAM MOVES FORWARD, THAT CAPACITY THAT'S STILL THERE AVAILABLE AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, THAT GETS WRAPPED IN THE CALCULATION AS PART OF THE UPDATE.

SO I CAN POINT THAT OUT THAT WE'RE NOT LOSING IT.

WE'RE STILL, WE STILL HAVE IT AS LONG AS THERE'S CAPACITY AVAILABLE IN THE SYSTEM, WE CAN CONSIDER IT.

SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT AND THEN THAT COST PER SERVICE UNIT IS HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO PUT A UNIT OF INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE GROUND, RIGHT? SO THERE'S KIND OF A FORMULAIC APPROACH THAT STAFF UNDERTAKES TO CALCULATE THE FEE SIZE OF DEVELOPMENT TIMES THE SERVICE UNIT GENERATION OR METER SIZE GIVES YOU MEET NUMBER OF METERS OR DEVELOPMENT SERVICE UNITS TIMES YOUR COLLECTION RATE OR YOUR IMPACT FEE, OR THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT GIVES YOU YOUR IMPACT FEE.

SO WE WERE TO RUN THROUGH A CALCULATION LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, UH, A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

UH, THE IF ON THE NUMBER CRUNCH IF, UH, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, UH, LOCATED IN SERVICE AREA TWO WITH A COLLECTION RATE OF 1380, UH, PER VEHICLE MILE 4,028 FOR A ONE INCH WATER METER, UH, 5,329 FOR ONE INCH WASTEWATER METER.

THE IMPACT FEE CALCULATION IS ONE DWELLING UNIT TIMES THE SERVICE UNIT.

GENERATION 2.49 YIELDS 2.49 VEHICLE MILES OF ROAD IMPACT TIMES THE COLLECTION RATE OF 1380, AN IMPACT FEE OF $3,400.

SINCE THE METER IS ALREADY PREDICATED ON A ONE INCH OR THE BASE METER, THERE'S 4,000 FOR THE WATER, 5,000 FOR THE WASTEWATER, A TOTAL OF ABOUT 12,700 WHEN YOU SUM THEM ALL UP.

US TO CONSIDER PROPOSED ORDINANCE ADOPTING UPDATED LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS, AND ASSOCIATED BOUNDARIES IN APPROVING REVISED ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION SCHEDULES FOR WATER, WASTEWATER AND ROADWAY IMPACT FEES, PROVIDING FOR VARIABILITY, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

SO IT KIND OF HELPED THE ADVISORY COMMUNITY AS WE WENT ALONG WITH, UH, CONSIDERATIONS ON WHAT TO COLLECT.

WE DID WHAT WAS CALLED BENCHMARKING.

UM, WHAT ARE OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE IMPACT FEE PROGRAMS? WHAT ARE THEY COLLECTING? YOU KNOW, THAT TYPICALLY IS WHERE, WHERE IT GOES.

AND THE BENCHMARKING SLIDES THAT WE HAVE HERE, UM, UH, DEPICT OTHER COMMUNITIES WITH IMPACT V PROGRAMS. YOU CAN SEE THOSE CITIES THAT ARE LISTED ALONG THE BOTTOM ANYWHERE FROM SOME, SOME OF THE SUBURBAN TIER CITIES, KIND OF AKIN TO WHERE WAXAHATCHEE IS SITUATED ON THE SOUTH.

YOU'VE GOT, SAY SALINA, SOME FLOWER MOUNDS.

WE HAVE SOME DENTON MIDLOTHIAN, WE HAVE BURLESON, WE HAVE OTHER COMMUNITIES.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN OF FEE THAT WE HAVE.

SO WHERE YOU'RE CURRENTLY CHARGING IS ON THE, KIND OF, ON THE FAR RIGHT THERE, YOU SEE THE KIND OF THE CROSSHATCHED, IF YOU WERE TO COLLECT UP TO THAT MAXIMUM FOR ONE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE OR THE ACTUAL IMPACT FEE, YOU WOULD BUMP UP GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE COMPARED TO SOME OF THESE OTHER COMMUNITIES.

THIS KIND OF BENCHMARKING IS WHAT HELPED, UH, THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TRY TO, UH, DECIDE ON WHAT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE FOR WAXAHATCHEE.

BUT WE DIDN'T STOP WITH JUST SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS.

WE LOOKED AT A COUPLE OF OTHER, UM, COUPLE OF OTHER LAND USES WE'RE SHOWING AS WE SHOW THE BREAKDOWN THE ROADS, SEVERAL OF THESE COMMUNITIES HAVE MULTIPLE SERVICE AREAS.

SO WE JUST TOOK THE, THE OVERALL AVERAGE OF THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT FOR THESE OTHER, UH, CITIES.

SO FOR 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL, THAT'S KIND OF A STRIP CENTER TYPE SMALL COMMERCIAL RETAIL ACTIVITY.

UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ACTUAL IMPACT FEE HERE IN WAXAHATCHEE IS A LITTLE OVER, AND I CAN'T READ, IT'S TOO SMALL.

IT'S , UH, UH, 2120, UM, 50, 55,000.

YOU COULD GO UP HIGHER.

UM, YOU SEE THE BAR MOVED TO THE LEFT A LITTLE BIT, BUT GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE CITIES THAT WERE PEER, PEER, UM, PEER CITIES AND HOW WE BENCHMARK THOSE.

WE ALSO DID LIGHT INDUSTRIAL 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WHERE YOU'RE CURRENTLY SITUATED THERE, THE CROSS HATCH ON THE FAR RIGHT OR A THIRD FROM THE RIGHT.

AND IF YOU WERE TO COLLECT UP TO THAT MAXIMUM WHERE YOU WOULD BE, UH, WOULD MOVE YOU, UH, TO THE LEFT THERE, UH, BETWEEN MIDLOTHIAN AND FLOWER MOUNT, THAT'S AGAIN, IF YOU DECIDED TO COLLECT UP TO THE MAX.

THE REASON WE DO, AGAIN, DO THESE BENCHMARKING HELP YOU ALL DECIDE ON WHAT'S AN APPROPRIATE COLLECTION RATE.

UM, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION WITH REGARDS TO THE UPDATE WAS THAT, UH, THEY RECOMMEND THAT YOU ALL UPDATE, I'M SORRY, ADOPT THE LUA, THE CIPS, THE COST PER SERVICE UNIT CALCULATION AS, UM, IDENTIFIED IN THE REPORT.

UM, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION WAS ALSO TO CONSIDER COLLECTING UP TO THAT MAXIMUM, THAT 50% THRESHOLD, UH, AS PART OF THIS PROGRAMMATIC UPDATE.

THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ALSO FELT THE SAME WAY, BUT THEY ALSO FELT THAT RATHER THAN WAITING FIVE YEARS FOR THE UPDATE, THAT YOU UPDATE IT AFTER YEAR THREE.

AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THERE'S, UH, THE IMPACT FEE LEGISLATION HAS SOME NEW, NEW RULES THAT ARE GOING INTO PLAY HERE.

SEPTEMBER ONE, UH, THAT BASICALLY WHATEVER YOU SET THAT MAXIMUM IS YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT FOR THREE YEARS.

SO THEY FELT THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE SHOULD PROBABLY LOOK AT THIS THING SOONER THAN, THAN WAIT TILL THE FIVE YEARS.

SO THAT WAS THEIR RECOMMEND RECOMMENDATION, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY RECOMMENDED THAT COUNCIL CONSIDER COLLECTING UP TO THAT 50 50% THRESHOLD FOR RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL, UH, USES.

UH, SO WITH THAT, UH, THAT'S OUR PRESENTATION.

WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, UH, REGARDING THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS, MAYBE SOME OF THE PROCEDURAL OR THE POLICY TYPE CONSIDERATIONS.

UM, OR GO TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[00:35:01]

BECAUSE IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING, I NEED TO, UH, ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO STAND UP OF COURSE AND SPEAK IF WE COULD, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, UH, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE CITY SECRETARY.

SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN THAT BRINGS

[10. Consider proposed Ordinance adopting updated Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvement plans and associated boundaries; and approving revised assessment and collection schedules for water, wastewater, and roadway impact fees; providing for severability; providing for conflicts; and providing an effective date ]

COUNSEL, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? THE SLIDE DEPICTS THOSE MAXIMUM NUMBERS FOR EACH ONE.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS BY SERVICE AREA, ONCE THIS IS ADOPTED, WHEN WILL THIS BE REVISITED AGAIN, THREE YEARS, AT LEAST IN THREE YEARS AT LEAST.

UH, SO A MINIMUM OF THREE YEARS.

IT, WELL, BY LAW IT'S AT LEAST EVERY FIVE ADVISORY COMMITTEE FELT THAT BECAUSE NOW THERE'S A, THERE'S A FREEZE IN THAT COLLECTION RATE.

IF YOU WERE TO DECIDE, LET'S JUST SAY COLLECT 10% OF MAX RATHER THAN 50, YOU WOULD BE FROZEN AT THAT 10% OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

A LOT OF COMMUNITIES THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH ARE NOW SAYING, WELL, WE NEED TO CONSIDER THAT CEILING.

THERE IS ANOTHER, UH, ANOTHER ITEM, UH, AS PART OF THE NEXT UPDATE.

THERE WILL BE AN AUDIT THAT'S INVOLVED, THAT'S PART OF THE NEW LEGISLATION.

UM, WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSIDER NOT ONLY THE, UM, THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE, BUT IN THE NEXT UP PROGRAMMATIC UPDATE THAT YOU CAN CONSIDER DOING THIS CREDIT ANALYSIS.

WE'VE CAPPED IT AT 50% ONLY BECAUSE WE FELT THAT THERE WAS AN APPETITE TO GO BEYOND THAT.

WE DIDN'T SCOPE THAT IN AS PART OF THIS UPDATE.

NEXT GO AROUND BECAUSE YOU'RE FROZEN FOR THREE YEARS, YOU MIGHT CONTEMPLATE THAT CREDIT.

WHERE WE SEE OTHER COMMUNITIES WHERE THAT NUMBER GOES TO IS ANYWHERE FROM 70 TO 90%.

THEN, THEN YOU ALL CAN MAKE THAT HARD DECISION IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT AT 50, BUT YOU'LL KNOW WHERE THE CEILING IS.

SO WITH THAT, THAT'S MY PRESENTATION, ANNIE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

OTHERWISE, WE'RE READY FOR THE FINAL DELIBERATION.

MAD MAYOR.

I WAS ON THE COMMITTEE AND HIS POINT ABOUT THE, THE 50% CAP, WE ARE KIND OF HAMSTRUNG BY THE, WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE BY SEPTEMBER ONE.

SO THAT'S WHY THE THREE YEARS WAS SUGGESTED, UM, BY THE COMMITTEE WAS LET'S GO THROUGH THE FULL AUDIT PHASE, DO ALL OF THAT SO THAT THEN WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO JUMP IT TO 75 OR 80 OR 90% OF THE MAX.

BUT THIS IS KIND OF, I GUESS BEST CASE FOR US RIGHT NOW IS THIS MAX.

ANYTHING ELSE, COUNSEL? ANYBODY? NO.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE.

MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE UPDATED LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS, AND UPDATED WATER WASTEWATER AND ROADWAY IMPACT FEE COLLECTION RATES.

NEXT ITEM NUMBER 11, CONSIDER A REQUEST BY AMY OLA FOR A SITE PLAN FOR WAXAHATCHEE SOCIAL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE CITY OF WAXAHATCHEE, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH YOU ALL.

I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH WAXAHATCHEE IMPACT FEE, THE ROADS SINCE THE INCEPTION IN OH SEVEN.

AND AS ALWAYS, STAFF HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS TO WORK WITH.

THEY WERE REALLY GOOD HELPING TO TURN THIS THING AROUND VERY QUICKLY, INCLUDING SOME WEEKEND HOMEWORK THAT THEY, THEY MET, THEY HAD A, THEY HAD A DEADLINE FOR US.

BUT, UH, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[11. Consider a request by Aimee Evola for a Site Plan for Waxahachie Social, located at 216 N College St. (Property ID: 217175) – Owner: EHG Waxahachie Realty LLC (SP-81 2025) ]

LOCATED AT TWO 16 NORTH COLLEGE STREET.

OWNER EHG WAXAHATCHEE REALTY, LLC TRENTON.

UH, THANK YOU.

THIS IS A PROPOSED SITE PLAN, UH, FOR LOCATION AT TWO 16 NORTH COLLEGE STREET.

UH, A WHILE AGO, THE CITY DID GO AHEAD AND GET, UH, WITH THE DEVELOPER.

THE APPLICANT, UH, CAME TO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AGREED ON IT, HAD THAT APPROVED AS PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

IT DOES REQUIRE THAT THIS SITE PLAN BE APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL PRIOR TO BUILDING PERMITS BEING ISSUED.

THE PROPOSED REQUEST, THE PROPERTY ZONE, UH, CENTRAL AREA.

THIS WAS FORMALLY THE POLICE STATION ON TWO 16.

UM, ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT THERE IS WITH THE SITE IS THAT, UM, THERE'S, THERE'S A FIXED BUILDING WHEN WE GET A LOT OF NEW DEVELOPMENT THEY'RE DOING FROM THE GROUND UP.

UH, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT THEY CAN DO PROPERTY, HAVE FLEXIBILITY WITH LANDSCAPING, SITE DESIGN, BUILDING DESIGN, UH, THIS SITE THEY'RE KIND OF LIMITED TO WITH THE BUILDING.

ONE OF THEIR GOALS IN DESIGNING THIS AND CREATING THIS, UH, PROJECT THAT MET THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT REQUIREMENTS WAS THEY WANTED TO

[00:40:01]

KEEP THE FACADE OF THE STRUCTURE THEY WANTED, MAKE IT, UH, KEEP THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.

THEY WANT TO ENHANCE IT AND ENHANCE THE SURROUNDING SITE.

UM, THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF DILIGENTLY AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY COULD MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

UM, SOME OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS WERE TO PROVIDE RESTAURANTS, A MARKET AREA AND SOME SORT OF ENTERTAINMENT.

AND THEY'RE ACHIEVING ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

AND THEY ARE PROPOSING AN ADDITION OF 5,100 SQUARE FOOT COVER PAVILION PROPOSED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

UM, WITH THIS AS WELL AS PART OF IT, THE OUTDOOR AREA WILL BE DESIGNED TO BE ABLE TO HOLD, UM, OUTDOOR EVENTS, OUTDOOR DINING FOR THE FOOD, UH, FOR THE FOOD HALL WHEN THEY WERE DESIGNING THE, UH, EXTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE THAT LOOKS FOR WAYS TO BE ABLE TO PRESERVE THE FACADE OF THE BUILDING.

UM, THEY ARE CHANGING IN THE COLOR OF THE STUCCO TO BE MORE OF A EARTH TONE COLOR AND DIM IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT TO ENHANCE THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, UH, THAT EXIST THERE FOR A WHILE NOW.

UM, IN INTERIOR, UM, ONCE AGAIN, THERE'LL BE RESTAURANTS.

UM, THERE'LL BE A FOOD HALL, UH, THEY'LL ALSO HAVE MARKETS AVAILABLE.

AND, UM, ONCE AGAIN, ENTERTAINMENT OUTSIDE THE PROPOSED REQUESTS.

UM, HERE'S A PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

SHOWN THE LAYOUT ONCE AGAIN ON ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT, UH, WE'VE BROUGHT UP AND WE TRIED WORKING WITH THEM ON AND THEY WERE, UH, THEY WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH.

WAS THE LANDSCAPING.

THERE'S REALLY NOT A LOT MORE THEY COULD DO ON THE SITE.

IT'S MOSTLY IMPERVIOUS TO COVER 100% COVERED.

UM, SO WHAT THEY DID WAS BE ABLE TO, THEY DID INSTALL ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING AND BE ABLE TO MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, ENHANCE IT AS MUCH AS THEY COULD, BUT THEY WERE REALLY LIMITED.

I MEAN, THEY'RE PUTTING POTS OUT HERE WITH PLANTS.

THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TRY TO KEEP THE LANDSCAPING AND KEEP IT NICE IN THIS AREA.

UM, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.

WE DO FEEL, ONCE AGAIN MEETS THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AND LEAVE THIS UP TO COUNSEL FOR FINAL PROVISIONS.

THANK YOU, TRENTON.

COUNSEL, YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE OWNERS? THEY'RE HERE TONIGHT OR, AND IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

THE BACK HALF IS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS.

UM, THE APPLICANT IS, UM, REQUESTING TO SANITIZATION, UH, DUE TO THEY FEEL THEY ARE NOT, THEY'RE NOT RECEIVING, UH, THE SERVICES, UH, PROMISED TO THEM.

UH, STAFF IN THE CITY DO FEEL THAT THEY ARE RE RECEIVING ALL SERVICES AS A PART OF THE ORIGINAL ANNEXATION AGREEMENT.

AND STAFF CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU TRENTON.

COUNCIL, UH, JUST TO GET IT ON THE RECORD, CAN WE GET BOTH CHIEFS UP HERE REAL QUICK? IF A NINE ONE ONE CALL WAS MADE, UH, FOR DISTRESS OR A BURGLARY, WOULD, WOULD OUR POLICE OFFICERS RESPOND? YES, SIR.

UH, THIS PROPERTY IS UH, LOCATED ON NORTH SIDE OF 2 87.

IT IS, UH, PART OF A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

UM, PART OF THAT PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UH, DISTRICT AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DOES STATE THAT THERE SHALL BE A PIT CREATED.

HOWEVER, UM, THE OWNER OF THESE FRONT LOTS, UH, DONE WITH THE OFFICE CONDOS, UM, I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

OF THE OFFICE CONDOS.

UM, IT, THE DEVELOPMENT'S NOT MOVING FAST ENOUGH FOR THEM.

UH, THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND REQUEST TO BE, UM, ALLOW THEM TO CONSTRUCT THE, UH, STREETLIGHT, UH, THAT'S REQUIRED AS PART OF THE PIT AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

UH, THEY WOULD LIKE TO FUND IT THEMSELVES.

UM, SO THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU WOULD ALLOW THEM TO NOT DEPEND UPON THE PIT TO BE ABLE TO BUILD THE, UM, OFFICE OR TO BUILD THE STREETLIGHTS AND TO BE ABLE TO START THEIR CONSTRUCTION.

SO THIS WOULD ALLOW 'EM TO START MOVING IMMEDIATELY AND IT WOULD NOT REQUIRE ANY OF THE PIT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE OFFICE CONDOS.

AND THAT'S A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

IT'S A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

IS THIS RIGHT THERE AT THE, WHERE THE HIGH SCHOOL IS? CROSS AT THAT UNDER PASS CROSS.

ANY QUESTIONS? COUNSEL COMMENTS? MOTION MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE TO APPROVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH WAXAHATCHEE OFFICE CONDOS, LLC AND MONTCLAIR 2 87 LAND FOR THE REMOVAL OF MONTCLAIR HEIGHTS PID REIMBURSEMENTS FOR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE SERVING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

UH, THIS, UM, ITEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS A RESOLUTION, UH, TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THE PI NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS SADDLEBROOK ESTATES.

UH, THAT PI WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2007.

UH, THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS TO CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR SEPTEMBER 15TH, UH, AT A RATE OF 17 CENTS PER A HUNDRED DOLLARS OF VALUATION.

YOU HAD HEARD THIS ITEM PREVIOUSLY, UH, AND THERE IS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM UNICAP HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS, UH, I AM AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

TAKING OUT, I WAS GONNA SAY I WAS LOOKING AT THIS, I WAS LOOKING AT THIS LONG LIST OF THINGS THAT GOT TAKEN OUT WHEN THEY DID IT.

COUNSEL, IS THAT 17 CENTS OR 17 CENTS IN ADDITION TO THE 20 WHATEVER CENTS IT WAS BEFORE? THAT IS THE GO AHEAD.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUN, UM, COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS JENNIFER SLOAN.

I'M WITH MUNI CAP.

UM, SO THAT IT'S, IF YOU LOOK, UM, AT THE LAST PAGE WE PROVIDED YOU KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT.

IF YOU LOOK AT THAT FINAL PAGE, THAT'S GONNA ACTUALLY SHOW YOU THE PHASE FOUR UM, ASSESSMENT.

SO IT'S ACTUALLY 21 CENTS, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S COMPARED AND ACTUALLY LOWER THAN PHASE THREE.

SO IT'S BRINGS THEM BACK DOWN TO WHERE ALL OF THE ASSESSMENTS HAVE, UM, THE SAME TRE FOR EACH PHASE.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? DID YOU ASK IT FOR 21 CENTS OR 17 CENTS? THE, THE WE, IT'S A 21 CENTS REQUEST FOR 17 CENTS.

I APOLOGIZE.

THAT WAS MY MISTAKE ON THE 17 CENTS.

UM, PER THE INFORMATION, UH, IT IS, UH, AND I THINK I GOT CONFUSED ON THE ORIGINAL WAS 27 CENTS.

YEAH.

AND SO THEN THIS ONE IS THE 21 CENTS.

SO I WANNA MAKE SURE I'M NOT CONFUSED HERE.

IS THIS THE SAME ONE THAT THEY CAME LAST 79 CENTS FOR THE OTHER DAY AND WE TOLD 'EM NO, THAT'S CORRECT.

SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK DOWN TO MATCH THE OTHER PHASES.

YES, SIR.

[00:55:03]

THE, THE, THE MEMORANDUM IS FOR 17 CENTS.

THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT'S MY MISTAKE.

THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT WAS 27 CENTS AND I THINK I JUST TOOK THAT 27.

UM, AND, AND, AND, AND KNEW THAT IT WAS LOWER THAN THAT AND I TOOK THAT TO THE 17.

SO THERE AT 21 CENTS THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING.

SO THIS IS FOR PHASE FOUR? PHASE FOUR.

YES SIR.

SO THE STUFF IN HERE WHERE IT'S GIVEN US THE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT, APPENDIX B DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS FOR PHASE ONE, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

IT'S JUST IN HERE.

'CAUSE I'M LOOKING AT APPENDIX B.

IT'S ON PAGE B ONE OF TWO.

IT SAYS DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS PHASE ONE.

YES SIR.

ANY OF THESE, THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS P THE IT IS, IT'S JUST IN A DIFFERENT PHASE.

SO THERE WERE PHASE ONE, PHASE TWO, PHASE THREE AND PHASE FOUR.

SO WE'RE HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THE PHASE FOUR ASSESSMENT.

WELL THAT'S THE REASON I'M ASKING IS 'CAUSE ON THIS CHART I'M LOOKING AT THESE 700,250,000, A HUNDRED THOUSAND, A HUNDRED THOUSAND, A HUNDRED THOUSAND, 52,000 THAT ARE ALL BEING TAKEN OUT AND NOT GONNA BE PUT IN.

NOW IS THAT STUFF THAT'S ALREADY THERE IN THE EARLIER PHASES? IT'S OR IS IT? NO, IT'S JUST FOUGHT.

THEY'LL BE PAID WITH OTHER FUNDING SOURCES.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN THERE IF IT WOULD'VE BEEN 79 CENTS AND WE SAID NO FOR 79 CENTS.

SO THEN THEY TOOK ALL OF THIS STUFF OUT? YES, SIR.

SO BASICALLY THEY TOOK OUT ALL THE AMENITIES.

THEY DIDN'T ADD ANYTHING EITHER WITH THE 79 CENTS.

SO THAT'S MISLEADING YOU, YOU DIDN'T, YOU DIDN'T ADD ANYTHING YOU, YOUR GROUP WAS ASKING FOR, FOR A MUCH HIGHER TAX RATE.

I'M NOT, I'M, I'M THE ADMINISTRATOR.

WE'RE NOT WITH THE DEVELOPER.

IS DEVELOPER HERE? YES.

WELL YOU'RE THE ONE WE PROBABLY OUGHT BE ASKING THESE QUESTIONS TO.

NOT HER.

BUT DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS OF HER? NO.

IF NOT, THANK YOU MA'AM.

MM-HMM YOU? NO, I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET WITH THAT NOW WAS .

I KNOW.

DO Y'ALL WANNA COME UP IN CASE THERE'S A QUESTION FROM COUNSEL? GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING.

DWAYNE BRI WITH T WILSON.

WE'RE A FINANCIAL CONSULTANT TO THE DEVELOPER ON THIS PROJECT.

SO IF ALL THESE THINGS THAT ARE REMOVED ON THIS APPENDIX B OR TAKEN OUT OF THERE, ARE YOU STILL GONNA BE MEETING IN YOUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OR THE THINGS YOU'RE REQUIRED TO PUT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT? NO, I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO.

I DON'T HAVE A CASE.

WELL THE RECREATIONAL FACIL RECREATIONAL FACILITIES FOR 700,000, THAT'S TAKEN OUT THE MAIN ENTRIES TAKEN OUT.

PUBLIC NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS TAKEN OUT, HACKING BACK TRAILS TAKEN OUT, POND IMPROVEMENTS IS OUT LANDSCAPE, BUFFERS OUT, SCREENING WALLS ARE OUT.

AND I'M ASSUMING SOME OF THAT'S REQUIRED BY THE PD THAT Y'ALL ORIGINALLY SIGNED WITH THE CITY.

I'M ASSUMING EVERYTHING YOU'RE REQUIRED BY THE, THE PD, THE DEVELOPER'S STILL GONNA CONSTRUCT AND BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PD.

IT'S STILL GONNA BE THERE, IT'S JUST NOT GONNA BE PAID FOR WITH PAID MONEY.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO STEP UP? SURE.

PERFECT.

I GUESS IF YOU CAN'T TELL, WE WERE JUST REALLY OFFENDED THAT Y'ALL CAME IN AND ASKED FOR 79 CENTS LAST TIME AND NOW IT GOES DOWN TO 21 CENTS AND THAT JUST, THAT JUST RES OF MONEY GRAB WHEN YOU GO FROM 79 CENTS DOWN TO 21 CENTS AND, AND JUST SOMEHOW YOU GOTTA MAKE THAT BALANCE IN MY MIND.

THE PHASE ESTABLISHED IN 2007? SEVEN, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE.

MY NAME'S JAKE FINCH, FIVE 20 DUNAWAY ROAD, ATCH, TEXAS.

WHAT IS THE QUESTION YOU'RE ASKING? OKAY, SO THE PIT NOW IS 21 CENTS INSTEAD OF 79 CENTS.

CORRECT.

AND I'M LOOKING AT THIS, THE PIT FOLLOWS THE PREVIOUS PHASES AND MATCHES THE PREVIOUS PHASES OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE 21 CENTS.

CORRECT.

IT ACTUALLY WAS BROUGHT DOWN.

CORRECT.

SO THAT WHAT MY QUESTION WAS AND I ASKED HER, AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU SURE THIS APPENDIX B THAT SHOWS THINGS THAT WERE IN THE ORIGINAL BUDGET AND NOW THEY'RE GONE, THEY'RE ALL ZEROS.

INSTEAD OF THEM BEING IN THIS BUDGET WAS THE 79 CENT BID GONNA FUND ALL THAT.

BUT NOW SINCE IT'S 21 CENTS IT CAN'T FUND THOSE THINGS.

UH, WHAT PHASE IMPROVEMENTS ARE YOU SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT? WELL, I'M LOOKING AT, IT SAYS DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS PHASE ONE, BUT RIGHT, SO PHASE ONE WAS THE, WAS

[01:00:01]

PHASE ONE WAS COMPLETED IN 2007.

ALRIGHT.

WE ARE LOOKING SOLELY AT PHASE FOUR, WHICH IS NOT CONFUSING AT ALL TO BE PHASE THREE ON THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS.

SO WHY DID Y'ALL EVEN INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION FROM PHASE ONE? I BELIEVE THE PIT HAS TO BE A HISTORICAL FACT 'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S ONE PIT RIGHT.

OVER MULTIPLE PHASES.

SO THAT'S WHAT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN IS THAT THERE'S MULTIPLE PHASES OF THE SAME PIT.

SURE.

SO, AND TO ANSWER YOUR, YOUR, YOU ASKED A PREVIOUS QUESTION THAT UM, SURE WOULD WE STILL FOLLOW WHAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT? THAT IS A YES.

SO WHERE WILL I FIND A CHART LIKE THAT ONE THAT YOU HAVE FOR PHASE ONE? THAT'S FOR PHASE FOUR THAT SHOWS WHAT THIS MONEY'S SPENT ON.

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

I DON'T KNOW THE PAGE NUMBER THAT IS IT IN THERE.

PHASE THREE, PHASE FOUR IS THE CURRENT.

I MEAN 'CAUSE EVERY PAGE I LOOK AT, DARN THERE.

SO THAT'S PHASE ONE.

THERE'S PHASE THREE ASSESSMENT PER UNIT.

I SEE A PHASE THREE ESTIMATED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT COSTS.

WHAT PAGE IS THAT ON? YOU CAN YOU TELL? 16.

NO, EIGHT.

SORRY.

IT'S ALL MARKED.

THE PAGES AREN'T NUMBERED.

UH, COUNCIL.

RIGHT.

BUT SURE.

DID YOU GO TO FROM WHERE YOU WERE? UHHUH .

IT SAYS B ONE OF TWO AT THE BOTTOM.

UHHUH FLIP OVER THREE PAGES.

OKAY, WELL LEMME GET BACK TO ONE AND THEN IT'S THE ONE WITH VERY SMALL PRINT.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

I THINK WE'RE ALSO A LITTLE UNCLEAR AT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

FORGIVE ME FOR ASKING THAT STUPID QUESTION.

SO THIS IS WHAT'S IN OUR MAP? YES.

YEAH.

SO THIS IS PHASE THREE.

THIS IS THE PREVIOUS PHASE.

IT'S ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED.

YOU JUST SAID THE FOUR IS THREE.

PHASE FOUR IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT TODAY.

IT'S FOR PHASE THREE AND CIVIL.

SO WHAT, WHAT COUNSEL RIGHT'S ASKING IS, DO YOU HAVE A, IS THERE A SHEET THAT SHOWS SYMBOL EXISTS FOR PHASE FOUR AND IT'S NOT IN THE PACKET THAT WE CAN SEE? YEAH, I'M NOT SEEING YOUR HONOR.

WE'LL WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THAT GETS SENT.

SURE.

MINE, YOU KNOW, IF I CAN, IF I CAN REPHRASE COUNCILMAN WRIGHT, SIR? SURE.

AND THERE WAS DEFINITELY AN ENGINEERING OPC THAT DETAILED THE ENTIRE BUDGET FOR THIS PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS GIVEN TO MUNI CAP.

I JUST, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE PACKET OR WHAT, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY THEIR WHOLE NUMBERS ARE BASED ON THE BUDGET THAT WAS GIVEN TO THEM.

BUT IF I CAN REPHRASE WHAT COUNCILMAN RIGHT'S ASKING IS, YOU PREVIOUSLY CAME IN AT 79 CENTS AND NOW YOU'RE LOWERING IT TO 21 CENTS.

I THINK WHAT HE'S ASKING IS IF YOU LOWER IT TO 21 CENTS, ARE YOU STILL MEETING THE OBLIGATIONS OF DEVELOPMENT? YES.

YES.

IT'S JUST DEVELOPERS' GOTTA COME OUT OF POCKET FOR MORE OF THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE COST THAN WE PROPOSED AT THE LAST MEETING WHERE WE GOT TOLD NO, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

I MEAN, WHAT WE TRIED TO DO, WE HEARD WHAT YOU SAID.

WE CAME BACK, WE KEPT THE ASSESSMENTS FLAT FROM THE PREVIOUS PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY.

YEAH, I I'VE JUST GOT ONE THING ARE, AND Y'ALL JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS, SINCE YOU'RE HERE, ARE Y'ALL AWARE OF, OF HOW MANY PHONE CALLS WE'RE RECEIVING ABOUT THE, THE FUNDING REQUESTS THAT THE HOMEOWNERS ARE NOW GETTING BECAUSE OF THIS CHANGE THAT ALL THE AMENITIES AND EVERYTHING THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN NOW.

UM, AND THE REQUESTS GOING OUT TO THE HOMEOWNERS? OUR PHONES ARE BLOWING UP ABOUT THIS.

I'VE NOT HEARD A SINGLE CALL, I LIVE HERE.

I'VE NOT HEARD A SINGLE THING FROM THE BUILDERS FROM THE BUILDER'S AGENTS, UM, FROM THE SALES AGENTS.

WE TALK TO THEM AS WELL.

I'VE NOT HEARD A SINGLE THING.

IS ANYBODY TALKING TO THE, THE HOMEOWNERS THAT LIVE OUT THERE THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY JUST ABSOLUTELY.

OUR, OUR, OUR EMAILS AND OUR PHONE PHONES ARE BLOWING UP ABOUT IT.

AND Y'ALL JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT, MADAM.

WHAT, WHAT ARE THEY ASKING? CAN I, ARE, ARE YOU, ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE EMAIL OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT YOU HAD SENT ME? SORRY, I, I THINK YOU HAVE YOUR MAY.

IT MAY BE, I THINK YOU HAVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.

I, I THINK YOU'RE MIXED UP.

THAT WAS A DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD.

SORRY.

GOOD.

SO WE'RE BACK ON YOUR GOOD SIDE, .

I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY IF IT IS YOU GUYS, I WANTED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT IF IT'S NOT, THEN YOU'RE GOOD.

I'LL PREP YOU FOR THAT ONE.

WE'RE OKAY.

YOU'RE OKAY.

SO AT THE 21 CENTS, LIKE YOU SAID, IT'LL GO BACK TO JUST LIKE THE OTHER PHASES.

IT'LL JUST BE ANOTHER PHASE AT THE SAME AMOUNT.

AND SO WHATEVER THE PD CALLED FOR, IT'LL HAVE WHATEVER THE PD CALLED FOR AND IT'LL BE AT THE 21 CENTS.

IT WON'T BE THE OTHER.

YES, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FOR THESE GENTLEMEN? IF NOT,
