ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM NUMBER

[6. Consider recommendation of a request by Jake Pinto, Alpine Start Development, for a Site Plan for Alpine Meadows, located directly south of 1850 FM 878 (Property ID: 290675) – Owner: ASD Waxi Fee Owner LLC (SP-68-2025)]

LOCATED DIRECTLY SOUTH OF 1850 FM 8 78.

PROPERTY ID 2 9 0 6 7 5.

OWNER, A SD WIE FEE OWNER, L-L-C-S-P DASH 68 DASH 2025.

ZACH? YES, SIR.

AGENDA ITEM SIX FOR SP 68 DASH 2025, AS YOU MENTIONED, IS GONNA BE A SITE PLAN REQUEST FOR ALPINE MEADOWS.

THIS IS A MULTI-FAMILY PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT THAT'S IN PLACE ON THIS PROPERTY THAT IS JUST UNDER 70 ACRES IN SIZE.

A BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THIS PROPERTY.

IT'S CURRENTLY UNDERDEVELOPED, BUT THE ZONING ORDINANCE, THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT WAS PUT INTO PLACE IN 2005.

UH, IT DOES REQUIRE THE OWNER TO COME THROUGH PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT TO RECEIVE APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL.

SO THAT'S WHY THIS IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING OR A ZONING REQUEST.

IT IS A SITE PLAN REQUEST SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU FOR A SEPARATE PROJECT EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT THE SPROUTS PROJECT IN A PD BUT REQUIRES SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

SO GETTING INTO THE DETAILS OF THE SITE, I'LL PULL UP THE ACTUAL SITE PLAN HERE IN JUST A MOMENT.

BUT A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE.

THERE ARE TOTAL OF 74 MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS AND THREE CLUBHOUSES STRETCHED ACROSS THE 69 ACRES THAT ARE HERE.

UH, THEY COMPRISE 486 GARDEN STYLE APARTMENTS AND 295 TOWN HOME STYLE UNITS.

ACROSS THE THREE PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE PRESENT, THERE'S GONNA BE TWO MULTIFAMILY TRACKS THAT TRADITIONAL GARDEN STYLE MULTIFAMILY TRACKS AND A SINGLE TOWN HOME TRACK.

THE ALIGNMENT OR THE LAYOUT OF THOSE TRACKS, ALONG WITH THE UNIT COUNT DEDICATED TO EACH TRACT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE APPROVED PD.

IT'S ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THAT THE PD EXPLICITLY STATES, WHICH IS DENSITY.

UH, THE REMAINDER OF THE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SITE ACTUALLY COME FROM THE CURRENT WAXAHATCHEE ZONING ORDINANCE.

SO IT DEFAULTS TO TODAY'S ORDINANCES FOR EVERYTHING FROM SETBACKS TO HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS, PARKING, LANDSCAPING, ET CETERA.

THERE'S ALSO A FIVE AND A HALF ACRE GENERAL RETAIL TRACT HERE, WHERE MY CURSOR IS SHOWING ON THE SCREEN.

THIS IS GONNA BE PAGE TOP LEFT THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS REQUEST.

IT'S AN AREA THAT THE PD CARVES OUT OF THE PROPERTY, UH, FOR FUTURE GENERAL RETAIL USES.

SO THIS REQUEST HERE IS JUST FOR THE

[00:10:01]

HERE ON THE SOUTH.

YOU CAN SEE THE TRACK ONE AND TRACK TWO.

THESE ARE THE TRADITIONAL GARDEN STYLE APARTMENT TRACKS TO THE NORTH.

THEY'VE GOT THE TOWN HOME STYLE UNITS.

THERE ARE THREE POINTS OF ACCESS FOR THE PROPERTY ONE TO THE SOUTH ALONG FM 8 78 1, EXCUSE ME, 8 79 1 TO THE WEST ALONG FM 8 79, AND THEN ONE TO THE NORTH ALONG 8 78 AS WELL.

THIS SITE PLAN HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO MEET THE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS, THE MINIMUM LANDSCAPE AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THAT PARKING REQUIREMENT DOES REQUIRE 50% OF THE PARKING SPACES TO BE PROVIDED IN ATTACHED GARAGES.

THEY HAVE EXCEEDED THAT THRESHOLD.

GETTING INTO A BIT MORE DETAIL HERE, WE CAN SEE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

THEY HAVE PROVIDED SUFFICIENT LANDSCAPING FOR THE SITE AS WELL AS THE MINIMUM OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENT FOR A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT HERE.

THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENT DOES OBLIGATE THAT SPACE TO BE PROVIDED OUTSIDE OF ANY DETENTION AREAS OR UNACCESSIBLE AREAS.

SO THERE ARE SEVERAL EASEMENTS, UTILITY EASEMENTS THAT ARE CROSSING THE PROPERTY THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO ACTIVATE SO THAT IT CAN BE UTILIZED AS OPEN SPACE.

WHEN WE SAY ACTIVATE, THAT MEANS PLACING SOME TYPE OF AMENITY OR, OR ACCESSIBLE ITEM THERE FOR RESIDENTS SUCH AS A SIDEWALK OR A PET WASTE STATION, A BENCH, FOR EXAMPLE.

SO THEY HAVE DONE THAT HERE TO ACTIVATE JUST AS MUCH THE SITE AS POSSIBLE TO MEET THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS.

THEY ARE MEETING ALL ONSITE DETENTION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THEY'VE GOT A MIX OF UNDERGROUND DETENTION AND A DETENTION POND HERE IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY.

THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION ALONG FM 8 78 AND 8 79 PER THE WAXAHATCHEE THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROVIDING THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF AMENITIES FOR EACH PHASE THAT'S REQUIRED BY THE WAXAHATCHEE ZONING ORDINANCE.

WE CAN SEE THOSE FOR EACH PHASE HERE ON SCREEN BRIEFLY.

THE AMENITIES OF EACH PHASE ARE COMPRISED OF A CLUBHOUSE, A POOL, SPORTS COURT, AND AN IMPROVED PICNIC OR GAZEBO AREA.

THESE ARE ITEMS THAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE WOULD TYPICALLY REQUIRE TO BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE INITIAL CO FOR THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'LL NOTICE IN CONDITION FOUR THAT STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED THAT BE FOLLOWED.

UH, THE APPLICANT'S HERE TONIGHT, THEY MAY SPEAK ON THIS POINT AND AND REQUEST AN ALTERNATIVE.

UM, THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE RUN INTO SOME ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH RECENT PROJECTS THAT HAVE DEFERRED INSTALLATION OF THOSE AMENITIES, UH, TO THE LAST CO IN THE MULTIFAMILY PROJECT FOR THE LAST BUILDING.

IT PUTS THE PROJECT IN A SCENARIO WHERE, UH, YOU HAVE RESIDENTS ON SITE THAT MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THESE AMENITIES THAT THE ZONING REQUIRES OR THAT THEY WERE PROMISED TO BEGIN WITH.

SO WE DO HAVE A CONDITION THERE.

WE'RE ASKING THAT THOSE AMENITIES BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO THE INITIAL CO BEING ISSUED FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A SIGNED PLAN WITH, UH, MODEST MONUMENT SIGN THAT IS IDENTIFIED ON THE SITE PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY AS WELL.

THIS IS MEETING ALL OF THE SIZE AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS OF THE WAXAHATCHEE ZONING ORDINANCE.

YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE SCREEN TO THE LEFT HERE.

A FEW OTHER THINGS TO NOTE.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A PHOTOMETRIC PLAN THAT INDICATES, WHILE IT'S NOT VERY EASY TO SEE, IT DOES INDICATE THAT THEY HAVE MET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF THE WAXAHATCHEE LIGHTING AND GLARE STANDARDS.

THAT IS, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE CREATING ANY SORT OF LIGHT TRESPASS ONTO THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH THAT YOU CAN SEE CIRCLED BY MY CURSOR HERE.

THEY HAVE ENSURED THAT ALL OF THE LIGHT FIXTURES, ESPECIALLY ON THAT NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, ARE DIRECTED DOWNWARDS.

THEY ARE SHIELDED TO PREVENT ANY GLARE IN THE BACKYARDS OF THOSE RESIDENCES.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROVIDING A MASONRY SCREENING WALL ADJACENT TO THE RESIDENCES THAT YOU SEE HERE AND ADJACENT TO THAT GENERAL RETAIL TRACT AS REQUIRED BY THE WAXAHATCHEE ZONING ORDINANCE.

FINALLY, THE ELEVATION PLAN THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH THIS SITE PLAN APPLICATION DOES INDICATE THE FULL DESIGN FOR EACH PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY BUILDING.

THEY HAVE A COUPLE DIFFERENT STYLES OF BUILDINGS.

YOU CAN SEE ONE INDICATED HERE, BUT IMPORTANTLY, THEY HAVE MET THE MINIMUM ARTICULATION, UH, THE MINIMUM MASONRY CONTENT AND THE MINI MINIMUM ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT REQUIREMENT OF THE WAXAHATCHEE ZONING ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE VARIED BUILDINGS HERE.

SO THEY HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT COLOR PALETTES, BUT ALL MAKING USE OF THE SAME MATERIAL.

BRICK AND STONE PRIMARILY.

THIS IS A LOOK AT SOME OF THE GARDEN STYLE APARTMENT BUILDINGS THAT ARE PRESENT.

SHOW A FRONT VIEW HERE, AND I'M GONNA SKIP DOWN THROUGH A FEW OF THE DIFFERENT COLOR PALETTES THAT THEY PROVIDED TO MIX INTO THE DEVELOPMENT HERE TO SHOW THE CLUBHOUSE.

IT IS UTILIZING THOSE SAME MATERIALS.

IT'S A ONE STORY BUILDING.

THERE ARE THREE TOTAL CLUBHOUSES PROPOSING ONE FOR EACH PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

UH, FINALLY, THIS IS THE TOWN HOME STYLE PRODUCT.

THEY'VE GOT A COUPLE DIFFERENT DESIGNS FOR THIS TOWN HOME STYLE

[00:15:01]

EACH OF THE BUILDINGS HERE THAT ARE TOWN HOMES ARE GONNA HAVE BETWEEN TWO AND THREE BEDROOMS AND AN ATTACHED GARAGE.

THE GARDEN STYLE APARTMENTS WILL VARY BETWEEN STUDIO AND THREE BEDROOM UNITS.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PD DOES NOT HAVE A RESTRICTION OR, OR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT AT ALL REGARDING THE MAXIMUM OR MINIMUM NUMBER OF BEDROOM BEDROOMS FOR EACH MULTIFAMILY UNIT HERE.

FINALLY, THIS IS A LOOK AT THE LAST TOWN HOME DESIGN.

SO WITH THAT IN MIND, STAFF HAS PROVIDED A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE STAFF REPORT HERE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY CON QUESTIONS ON THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE STAFF REPORT, I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THOSE AND THE APPLICANT'S HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AS WELL.

THANK YOU, ZACH.

ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? I DO.

UM, I AM, I'M LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN.

IS THERE AN ENTRANCE OFF OF 8 78? YES, THERE IS.

AND GIMME JUST A MOMENT.

I'LL GET THAT BACK ON THE SCREEN HERE.

UH, AND I'M ACTUALLY GONNA ZOOM IN TO ONE OF THE CLOSER VIEWS OF THE SITE PLAN.

SO THIS IS THE FAR NORTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS WHERE THAT CONNECTION IS.

IT'S JUST EAST OF THE RESIDENCES THAT ARE ON 8 78 CURRENTLY.

OKAY.

I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE ENTRANCE ON THE WEST SIDE.

UM, THAT IS A REALLY SHARP CURVE AROUND 8 79 AND I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SOME ISSUES BECAUSE PEOPLE TEND TO COME AROUND THAT CURVE PRETTY FAST.

THAT'S A VALID CONCERN.

AND, AND I'LL NOTE TO THAT THE NEXT STEP IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, IF THEY'RE TO RECEIVE APPROVAL BY CITY COUNCIL HERE IN A FEW WEEKS, THEY WOULD NEED TO BEGIN OR GO THROUGH THE CIVIL CONSTRUCTION PERMITTING PROCESS AS A PART OF THAT PROCESS.

AND AS PART OF PLATTING THE PROPERTY, THEY'LL BE OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, SOMETHING THAT'LL IDENTIFY WHAT, IF ANY, IMPROVEMENTS TO FM 8 78 AND 8 79 ARE NEEDED TO FACILITATE THESE ACCESS POINTS.

AND THE DEVELOPMENT IN GENERAL, UH, THEY DON'T HAVE THAT OR JUST YET FOR US, THEY HAVEN'T STARTED THAT CIVIL CONSTRUCTION PERMITTING PROCESS, BUT SOME ITEMS THAT MAY LOOK INTO ARE TURN LANES NEEDED OR DECELERATION LANES NEEDED.

WHAT IMPROVEMENTS WOULD FACILITATE THIS DEVELOPMENT? THEY WOULD BE OBLIGATED TO INSTALL ANY OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE TIA IDENTIFIES AS, AS REQUIRED FOR THE PROPERTY.

PERFECT.

THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? ZACH? Y'ALL HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THIS GROUP FOR A WHILE, RIGHT? WE HAVE, LIKE I MENTIONED, THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 2005.

THE APPLICANT, UH, THE COMPANY RATHER INITIALLY APPROACHED US, UH, I BELIEVE IN, IN 2021 OR 2022, TO WORK OUT HOW TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY.

THEY WENT THROUGH A NUMBER OF ITERATIONS ON THIS PLANET, A LARGE NUMBER OF ITERATIONS INITIALLY AIMING TO REDO THE PD ALTOGETHER.

THAT IS SOMETHING WHERE, UH, COULDN'T QUITE COME TO TERMS WITH HOW TO DO THAT BETWEEN STAFF AND, AND THE DEVELOPER.

AND ULTIMATELY THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO PURSUE THE EXISTING ZONING DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE EXISTING ZONING, UH, WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO WITH THE SITE PLAN HERE.

SO NOT ONLY FROM A ZONING STANDPOINT WITH RESPECT TO THE PD, BUT ALL BUILDING CODES, BUILDING ORDINANCES, DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

CORRECT.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE? YES, SIR.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, JAKE PENTO , OUR DEVELOPMENT.

UM, FIRST OFF, UH, THANK YOU TO THE COMMISSION FOR, UH, LETTING US PRESENT THIS, UH, SITE POINT APPLICATION, UM, HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND I JUST ALSO WANTED TO DISCUSS, UH, ITEM NUMBER FOUR OF THE CONDITIONS AS ZACH MENTIONED.

OKAY.

SO, UH, ITEM NUMBER FOUR OF THE CONDITIONS STATES THAT, UH, ALL THE AMENITIES AND THE OPEN SPACE AMENITIES NEED TO BE DELIVERED UPFRONT BEFORE RECEIVING A CONDITIONAL ANY OF OUR CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY ON THE FIRST RESIDENCE.

UM, THE CONCERN THAT WE HAVE WITH THAT IS THAT IN DOING SO, IT WILL ACTIVATE, UH, AMENITIES THAT ARE FURTHER INTO THE SITE PLAN AND OUTSIDE OF THE CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING.

AND IF WE ACTIVATE THOSE SPACES, THEN WE'RE GONNA COME BACK LATER AND DO THE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE BUILDINGS CREATE A KIND OF UNSAFE CONDITION IN THE SITE PLAN.

SO OUR SOLUTION TO THAT, AS DISCUSSED WITH ZACH AND TRYING TO HEAR THE CITY'S CONCERNS ON DEFERRING THE AMENITIES WOULD BE TO WITHHOLD, YOU KNOW, FOR US TO DELIVER THE CLUBHOUSE AND THE POOL, UH, UPFRONT WITH THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS WITHHOLD THE C OF O FOR THOSE AND THEN THE OPEN SPACE AMENITIES TO BE DELIVERED.

AND WE,

[00:20:01]

SO THE REQUEST HERE DENIED IS TO ALLOW US TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH PLANNING STAFF AND COME TO A, YOU KNOW, MUTUALLY UH, AGREEABLE AMOUNT OF THE COS THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN SEQUENCE THE CONSTRUCTION IN AND MAKE SURE THAT THE SITE CONDITIONS REMAIN SAFE.

HOW MANY PHASES DO YOU ANTICIPATE OF THE CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING? UH, THERE'S PROBABLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN SEVEN TO EIGHT PER PHASE.

HOW MANY PHASES? THERE'S THREE PHASES.

THREE.

SO THERE'S PHASE ONE OF MULTI, WHICH IS 238, UH, UNITS.

THE PHASE TWO OF THE GARDEN STYLE MALTESE 248 UNITS, AND THEN THE TOWN HOME PHASE IS 295 UNITS.

SO SEVEN OR EIGHT DIFFERENT STAGING TIMES WITH EACH ONE OF THOSE? CORRECT.

SO WERE YOU GOING TO LOOK FOR A BUILDING CO AFTER ONE OF THE SEVEN OR EIGHT OF THE THREE? CORRECT.

SO THE WAY THAT, IF I'M UNDERSTANDING YOUR QUE YOUR QUESTION CORRECTLY.

SO, UM, LET'S JUST SAY THERE'S 21 7 TIMES THREE IS 21.

YEAH, 21 DIFFERENT.

SO WE WOULD START WITH PHASE ONE OF THE MALTI, WHICH IS ON THE BOTTOM LEFT PORTION OF THAT.

WE WOULD, UH, MAKE THE ENTRANCE THERE AND THEN COME IN AND THAT LEADS TO OUR CLUBHOUSE.

WE WOULD START THE CLUBHOUSE IN THE POOL AND MOST LIKELY THE BUILDING JUST NORTH OF THAT.

AND THAT WOULD BE OUR FIRST DELIVERY.

SO THE REQUEST WOULD BE THAT WE DEL WE ARE OBLIGATED TO DELIVER THAT CLUBHOUSE AND THAT POOL BEFORE WE CAN GET A CO ON THAT FIRST BUILDING.

ONCE WE DELIVER THE POOL, THEN THAT BUILDING CAN RECEIVE A CO AND WE WOULD GO AROUND THERE, UH, IN, IN A LOGICAL SENSE TO FACE CONSTRUCTION.

AND, UM, TO THE RIGHT OF THAT IS A SPORT COURT.

UM, IT COULD BE A BASKETBALL COURT, IT COULD BE A PICKLEBALL COURT.

UM, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE GET INTO THE CIVIL DRAWINGS AND GO THROUGH THOSE PERMITTING PROCESSES, WE'LL DETERMINE THAT.

BUT WE'VE GOT THE SPACE FOR, UM, A SPORT COURT THERE.

OUR CONCERN THERE IS THAT IF WE ARE, UH, AS THE CONDITION IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN THAT WE ARE OBLIGATED TO DELIVER THAT SPORT COURT, WE'RE GONNA GO AND ACTIVATE THAT PORTION OF THE SITE AND THEN LATER COME IN AND MOBILIZE ON THE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION, AND THEN WE WILL BE HAVING, YOU KNOW, CONCRETE TRUCKS AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND HEAVY MACHINERY SCAFFOLDING KIND OF SURROUNDING THAT AREA.

AND THAT'S WHERE THAT KIND OF UNSAFE CONDITION PRESENTS ITSELF.

SO THE REQUEST HERE IS TONIGHT IS TO WORK WITH, UH, PLANNING STAFF TO KIND OF AGREE TO A CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING IN WHICH THAT, THAT ONE OPEN SPACE AMENITY IS TIED TO A CERTAIN SEQUENCE AND WE CAN'T GET A CO IN IN THAT SEQUENCE UNTIL THE, UH, UH, THE OPEN SPACE AMENITIES ARE COMPLETED AND OPERATIONAL.

SO HOW MANY AMENITIES DO YOU HAVE? UM, IN PHASE ONE? WE HAVE ZACH, WOULD YOU MIND GOING TO THE OPEN SPACE PLAN? YEAH, I'LL BRING THAT PLAN UP.

AND, AND JUST TO RECAP, THERE'S THE AMENITIES WE'RE REFERRING TO HERE.

THERE'S GONNA BE FOUR TOTAL IN EACH PHASE.

UH, AND WHEN I SAY PHASE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, THE, THE MASTER PHASES FOR THE PROJECT? CORRECT.

SO IN, IN THIS PHASE PARTICULAR HERE, WE'VE GOT THE CLUBHOUSE, WHICH INCLUDES OUR LEASING FACILITY, UH, RESIDENT LOUNGE FITNESS FACILITIES.

WE'VE GOT THE POOL, THE POOL DECK.

UH, THOSE USUALLY COME WITH, YOU KNOW, OUTDOOR GRILLING STATIONS AND, AND SEATING AREAS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

JUST IN THE NORTH OF THAT WE HAVE AN IMPROVED PICNIC AREA THERE.

AND THEN, UH, ON THE BOX TO THE LEFT, WHICH IS ACTUALLY PLANNED RIGHT, WOULD BE THE SPORT COURT.

SO ZACH, YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT, AND I I'M GOING BACK TO LIKE MATH.

SO THERE'S ESSENTIALLY 12 FOUR IN EACH ONE, THREE PHASES.

THERE'S 12, CORRECT.

ZACHARY, I IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO DO ALL 12 BEFORE THE FIRST BUILDING GETS A CO UH, NOT ALL 12.

THIS RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TARGETED TO EACH INDIVIDUAL PHASE.

UH, SO NOT CONSTRUCTION PHASES OR CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING, BUT EACH PHASE THAT'S IDENTIFIED ON THE SITE PLAN.

SO FOUR A TIME.

AND, AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IN, IN DISCUSSIONS WITH, UH, ZACH AND TR YOU KNOW, WE AGREE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE, WITH THEIR STANCE, THE CITY WANTS TO BE ABLE TO WITHHOLD SOME SORT OF OBLIGATION TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE AMENITIES ARE DELIVERED AS WE SAY THEY ARE GOING TO BE.

WE DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT.

UH, AND THE REQUEST HERE IS JUST FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SEQUENCE THEM IN A SAFE WAY IN WHICH WE'RE STILL, YOU KNOW, GUARANTEEING DELIVERY OF THESE, BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA BE CREATING, UM, A CONDITION ON SITE IN WHICH,

[00:25:02]

ZACH, CAN WE, CAN WE RESTRICT NOT JUST THE ISSUANCE OF A CO, BUT CAN WE RESTRICT A ISSUING A BUILDING PERMIT FOR PHASE TWO UNTIL ALL OF THE AMENITIES IN PHASE ONE ARE DONE AND AND TIGHT MORE TO A BUILDING PERMIT AS OPPOSED TO A CO? IS THAT, IS, THAT IS LOGISTICALLY BETTER, WORSE, EASIER? THE, IT, IT CAN BE DONE THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THIS PROJECT WILL HAVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT'S ACCOMPANYING, UM, THE REQUEST TO CITY COUNCIL.

UH, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING P AND Z WOULD TYPICALLY CONSIDER, UH, AS IT'S OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF, OF ZONING STRICTLY WHEN WE GET INTO THE REALM OF PERMITTING.

RIGHT.

BUT IT CAN BE DONE RIGHT, OF COURSE.

UM, THE NUANCE THERE, UH, WOULD BE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT PARTICULAR PHASE IS GOING TO BE SOLD TO ANOTHER DEVELOPER, RIGHT.

THAT'S NO LONGER OWNED BY THE APPLICANT HERE, UM, THAT THAT CAN CREATE SOME CONFLICT.

YEAH.

YEAH.

AND AGAIN, YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT.

WE'RE WE'RE ZONING AND, AND THEY'RE MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING ANCE AND YOU'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION, YOU KNOW, TO, TO, UH, SO YEAH, I CAN SEE, I CAN SEE SOMEONE ELSE, I CAN SEE THE CITY COUNCIL DOING A DEEP DIVE INTO THIS AS OPPOSED TO US.

RIGHT.

AND YOU CERTAINLY CAN STILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNSEL YOUR TASK HERE TONIGHT IS TO SERVE AS THAT RECOMMENDING BODY, NOT NECESSARILY THE APPROVAL BODY.

RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

OKAY.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? MR. CHAIRMAN? I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING.

YES, SIR.

AND I WOULD BE PREPARED AT COUNSEL.

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ALL OF COUNSEL, I'M JUST KIND OF GIVING YOU THE HEADS UP BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY, UM, THERE'S BEEN SOME THINGS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE Y'ALL THAT PROBABLY WERE NOT ADDRESSED PROPERLY.

AND I WOULD EXPECT COUNSEL AS THE CHAIRMAN TO SAY, TO, TO DO A DEEP DIVE IN THIS AND PROBABLY REQUEST MORE THAN, THAN WHAT IS OUT.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW, JUST JUST TELL YOU IT'S NOT, DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

I, I UNDERSTAND THIS IS, UH, UH, A CONDITION THAT KIND OF PRESENTED ITSELF RECENTLY.

AND SO WE'VE STARTED LOOKING THROUGH HOW WE CAN DEVELOP PLANS THAT SHOW THE SEQUENCING.

SO I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO RECEIVE APPROVAL HERE TONIGHT AND WE GO TO COUNCIL, WE COULD DEFINITELY HAVE, UM, A, A BETTER FACING MAP THAT SHOWS, YOU KNOW, WHAT A SOLUTION COULD LOOK LIKE TO, AGAIN, JUST MAINTAIN A, A, A SAFE SITE CONDITION AND STILL, YOU KNOW, GUARANTEE THAT THESE AMENITIES ARE DELIVERED IN, IN A LOGICAL WAY.

YEAH, AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING BE PREPARED.

OKAY.

UNDERSTOOD.

THANK YOU.

JUST , JUST TO, TO KINDA GIVE YOU THE HEADS UP.

UNDERSTOOD.

THANKS.

I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION.

YES, SIR.

YOU, YOU, YOU SAID THAT, UH, YOUR CONCERN WAS CEMENT TRUCKS AND OTHER THINGS ON THESE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'RE GONNA ADD.

SO WOULD THERE BE ANY POSSIBLE WAY, AND I MAY BE NOT, UH, SUPPOSED TO ASK THIS QUESTION UP HERE, BUT, UH, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT, THAT YOU COULD PUT UP, UH, THAT MONEY OR WHATEVER, UH, THAT IT WOULD GET DONE? I, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S ILLEGAL OR NOT, BUT, BUT, UH, IN OTHER WORDS, YOU SAY, WE'RE GONNA DO THESE THINGS AND I'M WILLING TO PUT UP THE MONEY.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO DO IT TILL A CERTAIN DATE.

BUT LET'S SAY YOU WALK AWAY, THE MONEY'S THERE TO DO IT.

SO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE PURCHASED THE HOMES ARE GETTING WHAT THEY WERE PROMISED.

OF COURSE.

THAT'S WHAT I, I THINK THAT'S A VERY LOGICAL SOLUTION AND WE COULD DEFINITELY BE AMENABLE TO FIGURING OUT A, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, PUTTING SOME FUNDS IN ESCROW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR THE DELIVERY OF A SPORT QUARTER, A GAZEBO OR, RIGHT.

I MEAN, YOU'RE DOING THE BIG ONE UP FRONT.

YEAH, NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

YEAH.

AND, AND AS PART OF JUST GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE ACROSS ALL OUR COMMUNITIES IN, IN THE METROPLEX, WE DELIVER OUR CLUBHOUSES AND OUR POOLS AT THE VERY ONSET OF, OF ALL OUR COMMUNITIES BECAUSE OF THEY'RE THE HIGHEST USED SPACES, AND SO THE FIRST RESIDENTS ARE GONNA WANT ACCESS TO 'EM.

SO WE'RE ALREADY COMMITTED TO, TO DOING THAT.

AND WE UNDERSTAND THE STAFF'S STANCE ON, YOU KNOW, NOT WANTING TO BE SHORTCHANGED OR TO HAVE THESE,

[00:30:01]

SO, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S A, UH, YOU KNOW, SOME SORT OF AGREEMENT THAT WE CAN COME TO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE PUT THE FUNDS IN ESCROW AS A AND CAN DRAW FROM THEM AS WE GO BUILD 'EM.

I'M SURE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT, BUT I THINK THAT'S VERY LOGICAL.

OKAY.

ANYONE ELSE? I HAVE A QUESTION.

UM, AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT, UM, THERE ARE LIKE FIVE HOMES THAT HAVE FRONTAGE ON 8 78 THAT Y'ALL WILL BACK UP TO.

UM, AND THOSE HOUSES HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME.

HAVE Y'ALL BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THOSE PEOPLE? WE DID MAKE CONTACT WITH THEM WHEN WE ARE GOING THROUGH ZONING.

UM, BUT SINCE WE'VE KIND OF ARE GOING THROUGH THIS SITE PLAN APPLICATION, WE HAVEN'T REENGAGED IN ANY PUBLIC NOTICE YET.

UM, BUT, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF A PUBLIC NOTICE IS A REQUIREMENT.

I JUST, YOU KNOW, TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME.

UM, JUST WONDERED IF Y'ALL HAD REACHED OUT.

YEAH, IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN A, A LITTLE BIT SINCE WE HAVE, I THINK WE, WE, UM, ALPINE START BEFORE, UH, I TOOK OVER, UM, WORKING ON THIS PROJECT HAD BEEN IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD, I BELIEVE IT WAS IN, UH, OCTOBER OF 23.

UM, AND AT THAT POINT, UM, HAD ASKED FOR A CONTINUANCE AND THEN RESCINDED THE APPLICATION AND HAS GONE HAVE NOW PROCESSED WITH JUST A SITE PLAN APPLICATION, WHICH DOESN'T REQUIRE THE SAME PUBLIC NOTICE.

BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE CAN'T, LIKE YOU SAID, BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

AND I, I'LL JUST GO FROM THE STAFF SIDE.

UM, THERE IS NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT FOR NOTIFICATION FOR THIS SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

THIS IS A ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS, UH, BY PZ AND CITY COUNCIL.

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.

I JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEVELOPMENT AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S UP AGAINST SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME, SO, UNDERSTOOD.

ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU, SIR.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

OKAY.

ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS? IF NOT, CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF SP DASH 68 DASH 2025, A SITE PLAN FOR ALPINE MEADOW, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE STAFF REPORT.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.

MOTION CARRIED.

SO THAT'S THE LAST ITEM THAT WE HAVE ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

AND BEFORE WE GO AROUND THE TABLE, I JUST WANNA SAY IT HAS BEEN MY PRIVILEGE TO SERVE FOR THE PAST, I BELIEVE, 18 YEARS ON THIS, UH, ON THIS COMMISSION.

UH, FORTUNATELY DURING ALMOST ALL OF THAT TIME, WE HAD A EXCELLENT STAFF.

UH, UH, I SAW MRS. PRUITT HERE EARLIER AND WITH TRENTON AND, AND SEAN AND ZACH.

UH, THEY MAKE OUR JOBS A WHOLE LOT EASIER.

UH, THERE'S SELDOM A QUESTION THAT WE CAN EVER ASK THEM THAT THEY WON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO.

AND, AND, UH, I REALLY THANK Y'ALL FOR, FOR THAT.

UH, COUNCILMAN SUITER, I'D LIKE TO, AS THE COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE, UH, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SERVE AT Y'ALL'S REQUEST.

THANK YOU.

I I APPRECIATE THAT AND EVERYTHING THAT Y'ALL, THAT Y'ALL DO.

UH, SO, YOU KNOW, FOR 18 YEARS I'VE SERVED WITH A LOT OF FELLOW, YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONERS AND, AND I CAN WITHOUT RESERVATION TELL YOU THAT EACH ONE OF THOSE WAS CONSCIENTIOUS IN WHATEVER DECISION THEY MADE.

WHETHER WE AGREED OR DISAGREED, THEY DID IT WITH THE BEST INTEREST OF WAXAHATCHEE AT HEART.

AND, UH, AND, AND I CAN, I CAN SAY THAT WITH WITHOUT RESERVATION AND THE ONES LEFT, CHAD, WENDY, JENNY TERRY, Y'ALL ARE GONNA BE GREAT.

AND I JUST WISH FOR Y'ALL THE SAME 18 YEARS THAT I HAD.

SO BEST, BEST OF LUCK TO Y'ALL.

SO ANYWAY, CHIEF, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? WELL, I'D JUST, UH, LIKE TO ALSO THANK THE STAFF.

UH, I'VE TALKED TO, UH, SOME OTHER PEOPLE ON PLANNING AND ZONING IN OTHER CITIES, AND, UH, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT OUR STAFF IS EASY TO WORK WITH AND ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS AND, AND, UH, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE AHEAD OF A LOT OF OTHER CITIES, UH, BECAUSE OF THE STAFF WE HAVE.

AND SO I, I THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH AND I HOPE FROM TIME TO TIME I HADN'T BEEN TOO VOCIFEROUS ON THINGS, BUT, UH, I DO LIKE TO SAY MY PEACE.

UH, BUT, UH, UH, LIKE YOU SAID, UH, AT, AT TIMES IT'S BEEN REWARDING AND, AND AT OTHER TIMES IT IS, UH, IT, IT GOES DEEP DOWN.
