FATHER GOD, WE THANK YOU FOR THE DAY OF LIFE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN US.

WE THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE.

AND WE THANK YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING PART OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT OF SACHSE.

WE THANK YOU FOR THE TOWN THAT YOU'VE BLESSED US TO LIVE IN, AND WE ASK FOR YOUR GUIDANCE THAT THE THINGS THAT WE SAY AND DO WOULD BE PLEASING TO YOU AND WE'D MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE DECISIONS.

WE PRAISE YOU AND EXALT YOU IN YOUR SON'S NAME.

AMEN. AMEN.

MESSED UP THE TEXAS PLEDGE NOT THE US PART.

YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD DELIVER MORE PIECES OF PAPER TO EVERY ONE OF US.

EVERY ONE OF US. I KNOW IT WAS IN THE DRAWER DOWN THERE.

I KNOW. WE WERE MISSING THEM NOW.

SO THE VERY FIRST THING IS INVITING THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION REGARDING ANY TOPIC NOT ALREADY ON THE AGENDA.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? IF NOT, YOU SAVED ME FROM READING THAT BIG OLE LONG THING OR DO I HAVE TO DO IT? OKAY. THANK YOU, MATT.

NEXT UP IS GOING TO BE CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 23RD, 2023 MEETING MINUTES.

[4. Consider approval of the January 23, 2023, meeting minutes.]

DO I HAVE A SECOND? APPROVE.

MOTION BY TAQUI.

I'M SORRY. SECOND BY TAQUI AND ANY DISCUSSION ON IT.

AND LET'S VOTE.

THERE IT IS. I DIDN'T GET IT.

THERE IT IS. I CAN NOW SEE.

NO. OH, YAY.

I DIDN'T GET.

TO CONSIDER MEETING MINUTES.

CLICK HERE.

OKAY. IT'S NOT WORKING.

SO YOU GUYS ARE GONNA.

YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO SAY YES OR NO.

YES. DID NOT COME UP.

WE'RE A LITTLE OUT OF PRACTICE.

IT'S BEEN A HOT MINUTE.

YEAH. OKAY.

AND WE HAVE THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON THE FINAL PLAT.

OKAY. NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON THE FINAL PLAT FOR THE STATION SINGLE FAMILY PHASE 2A GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF THE COMMONS PARKWAY AND SOUTH OF PARKSIDE TRAIL

[5. Consider and act on a final plat for The Station Single-Family Phase 2A, generally located west of The Commons Parkway and south of Parkside Trail, within Sachse city limits.]

WE HAVE A PRESENTATION TONIGHT BY THE NEWEST MEMBER OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND THIS IS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. THEY'LL GET ME ALL SQUARED AWAY IN A MINUTE.

SO. AND PHILIP, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TELL ME AGAIN I'VE ALREADY MESSED IT UP.

IT'S [INAUDIBLE].

CORRECT. [INAUDIBLE].

MR. [INAUDIBLE] WILL BE PRESENTING THIS EVENING.

READY, SET, GO.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT NEXT TIME WE MEET, SHE'LL FORGET IT AGAIN.

LISTEN TO THAT BUS ROLLING RIGHT OVER ME.

SOUNDS GOOD. GOOD EVENING COMMISSION.

THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS FOR A FINAL PLAT FOR THE STATION SINGLE FAMILY PHASE 2A.

THEY ARE GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF THE COMMONS PARKWAY AND SOUTH OF PARKSIDE TRAIL WITHIN CITY LIMITS.

[00:05:08]

IT'S COMPRISED OF ROUGHLY 2.2 ACRES AND IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

HERE'S A AERIAL MAP OF THE SITE.

THE PROPOSED PLAT IN WHICH YOU SEE THE FOUR SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, AS WELL AS THAT COMMON ACCESS LOT OR COMMON AREA LOT.

PER STAFF'S TECHNICAL REVIEW THE PROPOSED PLAT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH SACHSE'S SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND ZONING ORDINANCE.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED PLAT.

THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS STIPULATED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL OR THE CITY ENGINEER FOR THIS PLAT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE.

SO THEY LEFT THESE FOUR LOTS OUT BECAUSE THERE IS FLOODPLAIN THAT IS GOING THROUGH THESE FOUR LOTS HERE.

SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE HAD A LOMR COMPLETED AND THEY ARE PROCEEDING FORWARD WITH GETTING THE CLOMR FINALIZED FOR THOSE FOUR LOTS THERE.

AND SO AT THAT POINT THEY WOULD COME BACK AND AMEND THE PLAT WITH STAFF.

CORRECT. CORRECT.

I MIXED THEM UP. I'M SORRY. SPLIT THEM.

SO IS THERE A CREEK IN THE BACK? ARE YOU GOING TO COVER THE CREEK? IS THAT. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE PROPERTY YET, BUT JUST WONDERING, LIKE, WOULD THAT BE COVERED BY THE CREEK? SO YOU HAVE THE WATER.

SO THERE IS A FLOODPLAIN BACK HERE.

I DON'T KNOW FOR A FACT IF IT IS CREEK.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY, MATT? PHILIP, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE AERIAL REAL QUICK? SO THERE IS DRAINAGE WAY BACK THERE.

SO, YES, THERE BASICALLY IS A CREEK.

THERE ARE HERITAGE PARK IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY.

SO AS PART OF THAT, THERE WILL BE A DETENTION POND AS PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT.

OKAY. SO IT'LL BE TAKEN CARE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

IT'S TYPICALLY DRY UNLESS WE'RE RAINING HEAVILY AND IT'S DRAINING AT THAT POINT.

CORRECT. SO IT'S NOT AN ACTIVE CREEK.

MOST OF THE TIME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DOES THE REVISED FLOODPLAIN NOT HAVE TO BE SHOWN ON THE PLAT? IS THAT NOT A REQUIREMENT OF SACHSE? SO THEY WILL COME BACK AND AMEND THE PLAT ONCE THE LOMR GOES THROUGH.

OKAY. DOES THAT NEED TO BE ATTACHED TO THE, I GUESS APPROVAL OF THIS OR IN ANY WAY OR FORM? OR IS THAT JUST A DOES THAT STANDARD NEED TO BE WRITTEN ANYWHERE? IT'S CURRENTLY NOT REQUIRED TO MY UNDERSTANDING.

IT WOULD BE A THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO CARRY FLOOD INSURANCE AT THE MOMENT.

UNTIL THOSE LOTS ARE AMENDED WITH CORRECT.

AND JUST TO CLARIFY FOR THE COMMISSION, THESE FOUR LOTS WERE LEFT OUT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE FLOOD PLAIN ON THEM.

HOWEVER, WITH THE BUILDER CONSTRUCTING ON THE 49 LOTS AS PART OF SINGLE FAMILY PHASE TWO.

GETTING THEM TO COME BACK AND REMOBILIZE FOR 4 LOTS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY PROBABLY WOULD DO.

SO THIS IS TO KEEP THEM MOVING FORWARD.

HOWEVER, THE LOMR IS THE END GOAL BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO SELL THESE LOTS WITH FLOODPLAIN ON IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S TECHNICALLY GOOD TO GO. YEAH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. DO WE HAVE TO TAKE ANY PUBLIC INPUT ON THIS? NO COMMENT. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IS HERE FOR IT ANYWAY.

I'M HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE SUBJECT TO ALL CONDITIONS STIPULATED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIALS AND CITY ENGINEER.

COMMISSIONER MONDOK.

EXCELLENT. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. HE WAS LOUDER.

I'M GOING TO GO WITH COMMISSIONER OHMAN.

ANY FINAL DISCUSSION ON THIS? OKAY, THEN LET'S VOTE.

OH, THAT WAS GREAT AT THAT TIME.

THAT WAS QUICK.

I KNOW.

DID YOU GET THAT ONE? NO, I STILL DIDN'T GET THE.

YOU HAVE TO DO IT FOR ME.

YES.

AND IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

SO MOVING ON TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT ON A REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR GAS STATION USE, GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE

[6. Conduct a public hearing to consider and act on a request for a Special Use Permit for a gas station use, generally located north of President George Bush Turnpike and east of Merritt Road, within Sachse city limits.]

[00:10:07]

MR. [INAUDIBLE], WILL YOU BE PRESENTING THIS ONE AS WELL? EXCELLENT. SO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS FOR A GAS STATION USE WITHIN THE PGBT ZONING DISTRICT.

IT IS FOR THE MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT AND THEY ARE GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF GEORGE BUSH AND EAST OF MERRITT ROAD.

THIS SITE IS ROUGHLY 1.57 ACRES AND THEY ARE REQUESTING THAT SUP FOR THE GAS STATION USE.

SUPS ARE TYPICALLY JUST FOR THE P AND Z AND CITY COUNCIL TO LOOK OVER THE SITE.

AND IF THERE'S ANY SPECIAL SCREENING REQUIREMENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT.

THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTO OF THE SITE.

CONCEPT PLAN HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS GOING TO BE A GAS STATION CONVENIENCE STORE WITH A DRIVE THRU ATTACHED.

THERE ARE EIGHT PUMPS ON THE SITE AND THERE IS INTERCONNECTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE SITE VIA MUTUAL ACCESS EASEMENT AS WELL AS ALONG THE GEORGE BUSH FRONTAGE THERE, THERE IS A 50 FOOT NTTA DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND A 30 FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT.

AND THEN GOING NORTH SOUTH UP THERE, THERE IS A WATERLINE EASEMENT THAT RUNS THROUGH THERE.

THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE PLAN SUPPORTS COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT.

SO IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM AND WOULD LIKE HIM TO COME FORWARD, THAT IS SOMETHING YOU ALL CAN DO AS WELL.

OH, GOOD. IT HAS A PREREQUISITE [INAUDIBLE] STORE IN IT.

DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SO THERE WOULD BE, I DON'T KNOW FOR A FACT WITHIN.

OKAY. SO MATT IS TELLING ME THAT, NO, THERE IS NO BUFFER REQUIREMENT IN BETWEEN THE TWO.

IN TERMS OF SO THERE ARE SIDEWALKS ALONG MERRITT ROAD.

THERE WILL BE SIDEWALK ALONG PLEASANT VALLEY.

AND THEN WE ENCOURAGE, WALKABILITY THROUGHOUT THE SITE, BUT IT'S NOT REQUIRED.

CORRECT. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.

OKAY. GO AHEAD AND BRING HIM UP.

AND THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT THEY WANT TO PROVIDE.

FANTASTIC. THAT MAY ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS.

HOPEFULLY. IF YOU'LL INTRODUCE YOURSELF, THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC.

COMMISSIONERS, MY NAME IS CHARLES HODGES.

I'M WITH HODGES DEVELOPMENT AND HODGES ARCHITECTURE BASED HERE IN DALLAS.

WE'VE HAD A TREMENDOUS EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH STAFF ON ALL OF OUR CHECKLISTS ON THE SUP.

WE APPRECIATE THEIR EFFORTS AND THEIR OPENNESS TO COMMUNICATION.

THIS PROJECT IS MUCH MORE THAN A GAS STATION.

I HATE THAT WE CALLED IT THAT, BUT IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN A GAS STATION.

THIS WOULD BE A PROJECT THAT IS OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE HUFFINES FAMILY.

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE FAMILIAR, I'M SURE, WITH THE HISTORY OF THE HUFFINES FAMILY IN THIS AREA.

IT'S BEEN A TREMENDOUS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY AND HAVE CREATED NUMEROUS GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS WITHIN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA.

THE MARKET ITSELF IS A PRODUCT OF REALLY OUR EXPERIENCE IN THE BUSINESS.

THEY'VE ASKED US TO HELP THEM BUILD THIS.

WE'VE BEEN OPERATING CITY STORES IN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA SINCE 1987.

[00:15:05]

THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT'S MADE UP OF FIVE PROPOSED BUILDINGS, WITH THE ARIA MARKET BEING THE CORNERSTONE BUILDING THAT YOU SEE ALL FIVE BUILDINGS.

WE UTILIZE THE SAME ARCHITECTURE, THE SAME MATERIALS, ALTHOUGH WE DO WANT EACH TENANT TO EXPRESS THEIR PERSONALITY.

BUT WE CERTAINLY WANT THAT COMPATIBLE TEXTURE OF MATERIALS THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

WE DO HAVE MULTIPLE ENTRANCE AND EXIT POINTS.

AS YOU CAN EVEN SEE IN THIS RENDERING, THERE ARE TWO POINTS ALONG MERRITT ROAD.

WE HAVE EXIT POINTS ALONG PLEASANT VALLEY IN THIS POSITION AND ANOTHER EXIT IN THIS POSITION.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS TO GET IN AND OUT.

THAT'S GREAT FOR THE ARIA DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THEY CAN JUST WALK STRAIGHT INTO OUR DEVELOPMENT.

THE BUILDING AS WE HAVE DONE IN OTHER AREAS.

THE BUILDING IS TURNED WITH ITS FRONT SIDE FACING NORTHEAST IN THIS CASE, IT'S PLACED THE GAS CANOPY ON THE INTERIOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE BUILDING ITSELF IS UNIQUE, AND WE WERE CHARGED BY THE HUFFINES TO DO SOMETHING THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT FORMULAIC OR ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE ANYTHING ELSE IN THE MARKET. SO WE HAVE REALLY SOUGHT TO CREATE A UNIQUE BUILDING.

YOU SEE THE UTILIZATION AN THAT'S LUEDERS LIMESTONE, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCAL BUILDING MATERIALS, LUEDERS LIMESTONE QUARRIED RIGHT OUT HERE ALMOST NORTH OF ABILENE, AND IT'S ONE THAT WE'VE USED ON MILLIONS OF FEET OF RETAIL AROUND THE COUNTRY, IN FACT, NOT JUST IN TEXAS.

IT'S A GREAT STONE, HIGH QUALITY.

IT IS NOT LICK EM AND STICK EM STONE.

WE DO NOT ALLOW THAT IN OUR DEVELOPMENTS, AND OUR ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES WOULD NOT ALLOW THAT.

SO WITH RESPECT TO ANY, PEOPLE WHO USE STICK ON STONE, A TEN DEGREE MORNING AFTER A 70 DEGREE AFTERNOON MAKES THAT STUFF LAY IN THE PARKING LOT AND WE DON'T DO IT.

SO WE'VE ENCASED ALL OF OUR COLUMNS FOR THE GAS CANOPIES IN THE SAME LUEDERS LIMESTONE.

WE REPEAT THIS ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE BUILDING.

NOT MANY PLACES IN SMALL MARKETS LIKE THIS THAT YOU HAVE A LARGE WROUGHT IRON CHANDELIER HANGING AT THE ENTRANCE.

AND AS YOU SEE THE DESIGN OF THIS BUILDING, IT EXPRESSES AN OPEN FRAME TRUSS SYSTEM AS YOU ENTER THE BUILDING, BOTH IN THE LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE SECTIONS OF THE BUILDING.

SO AS YOU WALK IN, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A HIGH ROOF ELEMENT WITH THE EXPOSED TRUSSES ON THE INSIDE, THE CHANDELIERS, AND WE THINK IT'S A MUCH DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE AS YOU WALK IN THE FRONT DOOR.

AS I SAID, WE'VE GOT THE EXPRESS ENTRANCE ACTUALLY IS INTO THE COMMON AREA OF THE BUILDING.

SO YOU'LL HAVE OPEN TRUSS WORK ALL THE WAY IN THIS LONGITUDINAL SECTION.

AND AS YOU WALK IN GOING TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE STORE.

THIS IS A MARKET.

IT'S NOT A GAS STATION.

AND I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN THAT BECAUSE IT HAS MANY COMPONENTS TO IT.

WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME AND WE KNOW THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO OFFER OTHER THINGS THAN JUST THE STANDARD CAN OF GREEN BEANS SITTING ON THE SHELF IN THE $9. WE CALL IT TWO BUCK CHUCK WINE.

THAT'S NOT OUR GAME.

[LAUGHTER] THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE PURVEY IN OUR STORES.

THIS IS THE SOUTH LAKE GRAPEVINE STORE AT 114 AND KIMBALL.

SAME EXACT PROVEN FLOOR PLAN.

THE REASON WE LOVE THIS FLOOR PLAN IS IT'S THE LOWEST SHRINK.

IT'S IN THE TOP FIVE OF THE CHEVRONS IN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA IN VOLUME, WE HAVE THE LOWEST SHRINK.

SO THE STORE, THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE THE LOWEST THEFT.

WE HAVE THE LOWEST PEOPLE CARRYING THINGS WITH THEM.

WE CAN SEE EVERY AISLE.

WE HAVE NO INCIDENTS IN OUR STORE.

AND IT'S LIKE SET UP LIKE A GROCERY STORE WITH THE COOLERS IN THE BACK WITH THE AISLES FULLY VISIBLE FROM THE CASH WRAP, WHICH IS IN THIS POSITION.

THE ORANGE IS THE STORE ITSELF.

THE YELLOW IS ACTUALLY OUR QUICK SERVE RESTAURANT.

WE'RE IN TALKS WITH A GROUP THAT HAS 116 LOCATIONS IN NORTH TEXAS, FRESH MADE MEXICAN FOOD.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN ONE OF OUR STORES AND IT'S ONE OF THE TOP OF THEIR LOCATIONS, EVEN THEIR FREESTANDING LOCATIONS.

SO WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN THAT.

AND THE 80 YEAR OLD, ONE OF THE TWO FOUNDERS IS IN THE BACK MAKING FOOD EVERY MORNING AT 5:30.

[00:20:01]

THAT'S WHAT WE LOVE.

OUR COMPANY HAS DONE 46,000,000FT OF RETAIL AND IT'S THE LOCAL PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY RUN IT AND CARE ABOUT WHAT'S THERE THAT REALLY COUNT.

AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT STAY IN AND OUR SUCCESSFUL.

WE SELL SMOKED MEATS FROM OUR TIP TOP BRAND IN TYLER WE ACTUALLY OWN THE SMOKER AND PACKING PLANT IN TYLER.

WE SELL OUR OWN BRAND OF MEATS FOR SMOKED SAUSAGES, JALAPENO GERMAN SAUSAGE.

WE MAKE OUR OWN BACON, WE MAKE OUR OWN BEEF BACON, WHICH MY DAUGHTER SAYS IS TOTALLY LEGIT.

SO WHATEVER THAT MEANS IS AN ENDORSEMENT.

[LAUGHTER] WE ACTUALLY SMOKED BRISKET AND MADE BACON OUT OF THAT BRISKET.

AND SO WE'LL BE SELLING OUR OWN MINI SMOKED MEAT MARKET WITHIN THE STORE ITSELF.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WINE, YOU'LL SEE THIS CASE.

WE SELL QUINTESSA AT $168 A BOTTLE, AND WE DO WINE TASTINGS EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT IN THIS STORE.

IT'S VERY UNUSUAL.

AND WE AVERAGE 90 BOTTLES OF WINE A DAY IN OUR GRAPEVINE LOCATION BECAUSE WE HANDLE SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IN NORMAL STORES.

SO WE HAVE, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR, CAYMUS AT $160 A BOTTLE, WE HAVE QUINTESSA AT $169 A BOTTLE.

WE CERTAINLY SELL HARRISON AND SOME OF THE GREAT PINOTS FROM WASHINGTON STATE.

WE SPECIALIZE IN THAT.

SO PEOPLE GET TO RELY ON US.

WE BECOME THEIR GO TO PLACE JUST LIKE THEY HAVE IN GRAPEVINE SOUTHLAKE.

WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING FROM ALL OVER THAT MARKET, BUT THEY COME TO OUR LOCATION TO BUY.

SO WE HAVE PEOPLE COME IN AND BUY EIGHT PACKS OF SAUSAGES A DAY AND THEY DO IT EVERY WEEK, WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.

THIS IS ALL PURE PORK.

THERE'S NO THERE'S NO CEREAL, NO FILLERS, NO NOTHING EXCEPT SPICES AND PORK.

THESE ARE PURELY MADE LOCALLY SOURCED FOODS AND THAT'S WHAT WE SPECIALIZE IN.

SO IT IS A MARKET AND IT'S ONE WE'RE VERY PROUD OF.

WE WE ARE VERY PROUD OF OUR QUICK SERVE RESTAURANT.

AND WHEN THE HUFFINES CHARGED US FOR WITH CREATING SOMETHING SPECIAL OUT HERE, WE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY.

SO IT IS ONE COMPONENT OF A FIVE PIECE SET.

AS I SAID, EVERYTHING WILL HAVE THE SAME ARCHITECTURAL OPPORTUNITIES AS YOU SEE CONNECTED DRIVEWAYS THAT CONNECT TO ARIA PHASE ONE IN THIS POSITION, POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS IN THIS POSITION, AND THEN CONNECTIONS TO PLEASANT VALLEY HERE, AND TWO CONNECTIONS WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT OUT TO MERRITT.

SO THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GET IN AND OUT OF OUR CENTER.

WE LIKE THE FLOW.

WE LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN WALK FROM ARIA ONE OR ARIA TWO STRAIGHT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT, GET YOUR GROCERIES, WALK STRAIGHT BACK AND NEVER HAVE TO JAM THE STREETS.

I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

OUR RESTAURANT OFFERINGS, AS YOU CAN SEE IN MATT AND I'VE WORKED REAL HARD ON LOOKING AT THESE BUILDINGS AND HOW TO BEST LOCATE THINGS WITHIN THE BUILDINGS.

WE'VE GOT A LARGE PATIO ON THE WESTERN END CAP IN THIS POSITION, LARGE PATIO ON THE EASTERN END CAP OF THIS BUILDING.

AND THE WAY IT'S GOING, WE'LL PROBABLY END UP WITH PATIOS ON BOTH END CAPS ON BUILDING TWO.

EACH OF THOSE BUILDINGS IS ABOUT 15,000FT².

WE'RE GOING TO GO SLOW.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BUILD THEM TOO FAST.

WE DON'T WANT EMPTY SPACE OUT THERE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO WORK TO GET THE BEST USERS IN THOSE ENDCAP POSITIONS AND THEN OUR SERVICE USERS IN THE MIDDLE.

SO THE THINGS THAT ARE WORKING IN RETAIL TODAY, FOOD SERVICE, THAT'S WHAT WORKS AND THAT'S WHAT WORKS ON A FREQUENCY BASIS.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SHOOTING FOR IN THE WAY WE DESIGN THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AT THIS POINT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I CAN REALLY DRILL DOWN INTO DETAIL ON THE PRODUCT MIX AND SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS.

BUT WE'RE PROUD OF THIS STORE AND WE'RE PROUD OF THE FACT IT'S NOT YOUR FORMULAIC CONVENIENCE STORE.

IT IS A TRUE MARKET.

AND THE OFFERING OF THE OF THE QUICK, FRESH RESTAURANT, WE THINK MAKES US AN ADDITIONAL AMENITY.

GREAT BREAKFAST TACOS.

EXCELLENT. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS? NOT THAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

BUT OUT OF CURIOSITY, HOW MUCH EMPLOYMENT DO YOU EXPECT? DO YOU HAVE ANY? RIGHT NOW WE RUN IN THIS SIZE STORE.

WE RUN ABOUT THREE PER SHIFT AND WE'LL RUN 2 TO 3 SHIFTS DEPENDING ON OUR OPERATING HOURS, AND WE'LL MEASURE THAT TO THE MARKET.

I MEAN, I WAS PARKED OUT THERE THIS AFTERNOON JUST WATCHING THE TURN MOVEMENTS ON PLEASANT VALLEY VERSUS GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH.

THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE IS THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO PLEASANT VALLEY, BUT THEY'RE GETTING OFF TURNING AT MILES AND COMING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE STATION. PROBABLY NOT WHAT YOU INTENDED FOR THAT STREET, BUT FOR ME AS A RETAILER, VERY THRILLED WITH JUST HOW THE FLOW COMES TO US.

[00:25:02]

IT'S THE GOING HOME CORNER, THEREFORE IT MAKES IT THE PREFERENTIAL CORNER WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT INTERSECTIONS SO THAT GOING HOME AND SWING CORNER VERY IMPORTANT.

UM. DID I ANSWER? YEAH. SO NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES THAT YOU CAN THREE PER SHIFT USUALLY THREE SHIFTS WE MAY IN A BUSY LIKE A FRIDAY AFTERNOON WE'LL DO AND ON SATURDAY MORNING WE'LL HAVE FOUR PER SHIFT.

OKAY. SO ABOUT 12 TO 15.

GOTCHA. FULL TIME EQUIVALENT POSITIONS.

GOOD. WE DO WINE TASTINGS EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT AND WE'LL BE GRILLING SOME OF THAT SAUSAGE AND DOING FREE SAMPLES OUT THERE ON FRIDAYS.

YES, SIR. WE'RE ACTUALLY OVER PARKED BECAUSE CODE ISN'T NECESSARILY ADEQUATE FOR SOME RESTAURANTS.

THEREFORE, WE OVER PARKED IT.

WE HAVE 40 SPACES ADJACENT TO THE THE MARKET ITSELF.

SO I THINK WE'RE WELL PARKED.

[INAUDIBLE] ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA AT THIS TIME WHAT WHO THE FUTURE ANCHOR IS IN THAT SOUTH EAST? WE DON'T. WE'RE IN TALKS AND IT'S VERY EARLY TALKS RIGHT NOW.

WE WERE IN TALKS WITH ONE OF THE HOSPITAL GROUPS TO DO A IT'S MORE THAN JUST A E-SERVICES.

IT WAS REALLY MORE OF A CLINIC WITH SEPARATE OFFICES.

THEY KIND OF PULLED BACK.

AND WE'RE IN VERY EARLY TALKS WITH ONE OF THE ANCHORS RIGHT NOW, ABOUT 11, 12,000FT.

YES. YES, SIR.

ACTUALLY, THAT'S TXDOT OR MTTA EXCUSE ME, THAT OWNS THAT.

BUT THAT IS A CONTRIBUTED.

IT'S REALLY A DRAINAGE CHANNEL.

LET ME SEE IF I CAN PULL IT BACK UP.

YEAH, THAT'S ACTUALLY THAT IS CONTRIBUTED FROM ACROSS THE STREET COMES UNDER AND CONTRIBUTES INTO THAT.

AND THEN IN ADDITION, THERE IS A REGIONAL WATER LINE THAT OCCUPIES THIS AREA.

AND GOES ACROSS AND LOOPS AND GOES BACK THAT DIRECTION.

IT DOES, BUT I THINK THAT WAS WORKED OUT IN THE OVERALL ARIA SCHEME FOR THE OVERALL REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT DETENTION.

SO IT COULD BE ADDITIVE.

WE HAVEN'T ASSUMED THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DUMP A LOT OF WATER IN THERE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FINAL QUEUES ARE COMING OFF THE STATION SITE AND UNTIL WE SEE THAT, WE WOULD NOT WANT TO COUNT ON THAT.

HAS THIS CONCEPT PLAN BEEN APPROVED BY CITY STAFF? WHAT IS THE REVIEW PROCESS TO DATE? SO STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT AND IT IS IN GENERAL CONFORMANCE WITH THE PGT STANDARDS.

AND THEN AS PART OF THE IF THIS SUP WAS TO BE APPROVED, THEY WOULD NEED TO BUILD TO THIS GENERAL LAYOUT.

THERE MAY BE SOME SLIGHT SHIFTS HERE OR THERE BASED ON SITE CIVIL COMMENTS.

YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S AN EASEMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE PLACED IN SOMEWHERE OR SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED.

BUT THE LAYOUT ITSELF, THIS WOULD BE THE GENERAL LAYOUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE BUILT.

I DIDN'T CATCH THE QUESTION BUT ARE WE ONLY APPROVING THE SUP? AS PART OF A SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL, THAT'S WHEN WE WOULD EVALUATE AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE MEETING ALL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AS PART [INAUDIBLE].

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IS YOUR MARKET IS THAT A 24/7 OPERATION? WE'RE GOING TO GAUGE IT TO THE MARKET AND REALLY SEE I WOULD ASSUME IT WON'T BE 24/7.

I THINK WE'RE PRETTY COMFORTABLE.

I MEAN, OUR OTHER LOCATION LIKE THIS IS ON 114, HIGHLY TRAVELED, BUT WE STILL CLOSE MIDNIGHT, I THINK, ON WEEKNIGHTS AND MAYBE ONE AT SATURDAYS. OKAY.

WE JUST. THAT'S JUST NOT PART OF OUR MO AND THAT THAT STORE IN LIMITED HOURS WE DO LAST YEAR WE DID $7.1 MILLION OUT OF THAT STORE SO.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM YOU ALL? WHAT IS THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AT THIS POINT? IS IT JUST THE GAS STATION FIRST OR.

ACTUALLY, WE'VE GOT DRAWINGS DONE ON BUILDING ONE, THE FIRST 15,000 FOOT BUILDING WE'RE NEGOTIATING RIGHT NOW WITH TENANTS ON THE MIDDLE BUILDING.

[00:30:02]

WHICH BUILDING IS ONE? ONE IS THE RIGHT HERE.

OKAY. AND THEN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE GAS STATION AND THE.

THAT'S YES, THAT'S ANOTHER.

SO THOSE WILL BE COMING ALONG PROBABLY AHEAD OF THE GAS STATION.

NO, ACTUALLY, I THINK THEY'LL PROBABLY AT LEAST TWO OF THE THREE.

THIS IS ONLY WAITING ON US TO GET THE LEASES ON THE TWO END CAP RESTAURANTS.

AND I MEAN, THE HUFFINES HAVE SORT OF BEEN PUSHING ME, BUT WE'RE PUSHING THE LEASING GUYS TO SAY WE DON'T WANT JUST ANYBODY WHO FOGS A MIRROR.

WE WANT SOMEBODY THAT'S OUR KIND OF RESTAURANT.

SO WE'RE WAITING ON THAT.

SO THOSE FIRST THREE BUILDINGS WILL PROBABLY ALL BE TOGETHER AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THE SITE WORK, THE GRADING AND ALL OF THAT AS A PART OF THE SAME CONTRACT THERE.

IT JUST ONLY MAKES SENSE.

OKAY. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? OKAY, THEN I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR A MOTION.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE SUP REQUEST AND FORWARD IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

FANTASTIC. I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION.

SECOND BY BETTEN.

EXCELLENT. ANY FINAL QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION. QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

FEEL LIKE WE GAVE HIM A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY TONIGHT? EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT.

THEN I THINK WE'RE READY TO VOTE.

MRS. MEGAN. OH, YEAH.

OH, I ALWAYS SKIP THAT PART.

SORRY. IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ABOUT THIS PROJECT? I FEEL LIKE YOU THREE ARE TOGETHER.

EXCELLENT. SEEING THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HERE TO COMMENT ABOUT IT, THEN LET'S GO AHEAD AND OPEN AND CLOSE THAT PUBLIC HEARING AND LET'S HAVE A VOTE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

COUNCILMAN LINDSEY.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

EXCELLENT. WE HAVE ALL IN FAVOR.

SO I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION RIGHT AND LEFT, BUT WE GOT IT.

AND IT IS UNANIMOUSLY PASSED THROUGH US.

GOOD LUCK WITH CITY COUNCIL.

EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT.

I SEE THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM TALKING ABOUT FUTURE ITEMS. SO IF YOU GUYS WANT TO DISCUSS ANY OF THAT WITH MATT, CATCH HIM AFTER THE MEETING.

BUT WITH THAT, WE WILL ADJOURN OUR MEETING TONIGHT AT 6:33.
