[4. Conditional Use Permit CU23-01 (Walmart) – City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to conduct a public hearing relative to an application submitted by Kimley-Horn requesting a conditional use permit to amend the previously approved site plan for CU03-29 for a planned commercial center including an automotive repair facility, gasoline sales, the possession, storage, retail sale of off premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer and wine only) in conjunction with a retail store. This request is specifically to add two metal storage containers for the purpose of storing new parts and landscape equipment for on- and off-site Walmart facility management. The subject property is located at 1601 West State Highway 114 and is currently zoned “CC”, Community Commercial District. ]

CU23-1 THE APPLICANT IS WAL MART.

ERICA MORONEC.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO AMEND THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE PLAN FOR PLANNED COMMERCIAL CENTER.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF STATE HIGHWAY 26 IRA E WOODS AVENUE, APPROXIMATELY 915 FEET WEST OF STATE HIGHWAY 114 AND IS PRESENTLY ZONED CC, COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

THE SITE FEATURES AN EXISTING WAL MART SUPERSTORE, WHICH HAS PREVIOUS APPROVALS INCLUDING AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR FACILITY, GASOLINE SALES IN THE POSSESSION

[00:05:04]

STORAGE, RETAIL SALE OF OFF PREMISE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RETAIL STORE.

THIS REQUEST IS SPECIFICALLY TO ADD TWO PERMANENT METAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS EACH EIGHT FEET TALL BY 40 FEET LONG BY EIGHT FEET WIDE, AND SPACE DESIGNATED FOR TWO PICKUP TRUCKS WITH STANDARD LANDSCAPING TRAILERS.

ONE OF THE PROPOSED SHIPPING CONTAINERS WOULD BE DESIGNATED FOR THE STORAGE OF LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT FOR ON AND OFF SITE WAL MART FACILITY MANAGEMENT, WHILE THE OTHER CONTAINER WOULD BE USED FOR STORE TO STORE PARTS FOR THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF THE WAL MART STORE REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT.

THE OUTDOOR STORAGE AREA IS PROPOSED TO BE APPROXIMATELY 44,900 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE AND IS ADJACENT TO THE STORE'S SOUTHERN BUILDING ELEVATION NEXT TO THE DALLAS AREA. RAPID TRANSIT RIGHT OF WAY 817 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY 983 PARKING SPACES ON SITE IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THIS PROPOSED OUTDOOR STORAGE AREA, THEY WOULD REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES BY 20.

THE 4900 SQUARE FOOT OUTSIDE STORAGE AREA WOULD BE ENCOMPASSED BY AND SCREENED BY AN EIGHT FOOT TALL WOOD PRIVACY FENCE.

NO OTHER CHANGES ARE PROPOSED TO THE SITE IN REGARDS TO PARKING ACCESS OR SIGNAGE.

WITH THIS REQUEST, THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE, MS. CAROLYN COOK WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, IS PRESENT THIS EVENING TO PRESENT TO BOTH THE COUNCIL AND COMMISSION AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU. MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SHE HEAR SHE HAVE ANY PRESENTATION? YES. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION AND COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

I AM THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR WAL MART WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES WITH THE CIVIL ENGINEER FOR THIS PROJECT.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD TO WHAT ERICA PRESENTED OTHER THAN THIS WILL BE USED FOR MAINTENANCE, THE REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT FOR THIS STORE, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE SURROUNDING WAL-MART STORES IN THE AREA, BUT WILL BE USED BY WAL MART PERSONNEL ONLY.

AND HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE, QUESTIONS CAN YOU TELL ME THE THE HEIGHT OF THE TRUCK AND THE CAB AND THE BOX THAT YOU HAVE ON IT THAT YOU HAVE IN OUR DRAWING BECAUSE YOU GIVE LENGTH, DO YOU DID NOT TELL HEIGHT? YES, MA'AM. SO THE BOX TRUCK THAT WILL BE USED TO TAKE PARTS AND EQUIPMENT TO OTHER STORES IS A BOX TRUCK THAT CAN RANGE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 7.5-8.5 FOOT TALL. SO FROM THE GROUND, CORRECT.

FROM GROUND TO THE TOP OF THE BOX WILL NOT BE MORE THAN EIGHT FEET.

EIGHT AND A HALF FEET. WELL, THE DRAWING NEEDS TO SHOW THAT THAT'S PART OF THE IF THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY IT'S GOING TO BE.

GOT A QUESTION, MAN.

SO THE FENCE AROUND THAT IS GOING TO BE EIGHT FEET? THAT'S CORRECT. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WITH WHAT YOU JUST SAID, THEN THE TOP OF THE TRUCK IS GOING TO SHOW OVER THE FENCE OF THE OF THE.

IS THAT RIGHT? THE LANDSCAPE TRUCK? IT COULD IF THEY CHOOSE A BOX TRUCK THAT'S EIGHT AND A HALF FEET TALL, IT COULD SHOW ABOUT HALF A FOOT OVER THAT EIGHT FOOT FENCE.

THE CONTAINERS THEMSELVES SIT FLAT ON THE GROUND.

THAT'S CORRECT. OTHER QUESTIONS.

NO OTHER QUESTIONS. MS. COOK, I RESPECT KIMLEY-HORN A GREAT DEAL, AND I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO DRAG THESE QUESTIONS TO YOU.

IS THERE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM WAL-MART HERE TONIGHT? THERE IS NOT. I WENT BY THE STORE TODAY AND THOSE CONTAINERS ARE ALREADY ON SITE.

THEY'RE IN THE PLACE THAT THEY'RE DEPICTED ON THIS DRAWING.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THEY WOULD DO THAT? NO, I DO NOT KNOW IF THOSE CONTAINERS ARE FOR THIS USE OR IF THEY ARE PART OF THE REMODEL THAT IS HAPPENING.

BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHY THEY ARE CURRENTLY THERE.

ALL RIGHT. I'M NOT AWARE THAT WE HAVE ALLOWED OR THAT WAL-MART HAS ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO PLACE CONTAINERS THERE BEFORE.

ONCE WE GRANT PERMISSION, IT'S A PERMANENT DEAL.

THEY DON'T GO AWAY. SO HAVING SOME THERE IS A TEMPORARY USE.

I WOULD ASSUME THEY HAVE TALKED WITH OUR STAFF BECAUSE THE TORNADO PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GENERATED THAT NEED AND CERTAINLY WE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.

I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF THE STAFF HAS HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THESE CONTAINERS THAT ARE ALREADY ON SITE IN THIS LOCATION.

BRUNO, DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW OR OR? I DON'T KNOW. ERICA, DO Y'ALL? WE'LL FIND OUT, THOUGH, BECAUSE AGAIN, IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT THOSE CONTAINERS ARE THERE BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE.

[00:10:04]

AND THAT WOULD BE REASONABLE IF WE KNEW.

IF YOU KNEW ABOUT THAT, WE'LL MAKE SURE TO LET YOU KNOW.

WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT AND REPORT BACK TO YOU.

BUT WE WERE NOT AWARE THAT CONTAINERS HAD BEEN PLACED ON SITE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. HAVING THEM THERE FOR THE PURPOSE YOU STATED, AND THEN THE LOCATION, IT'S ABOUT AS OFFENSIVE AS IT CAN BE.

AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THE NEED.

IT IS A LITTLE BIT CONCERNING THAT WE'RE HAVING THE STORAGE HERE FOR A LOT OF WAL-MART STORES AROUND, RATHER THAN THEY'RE PROVIDING IT ON THEIR OWN SITE TO.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSES.

THANK YOU. IT'S ALSO I'D LIKE TO.

4900 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR STORAGE IS A LOT OF STORAGE.

SO WHAT TYPE OF THINGS ARE THEY PLANNING TO STORE THERE? YES. SO INSIDE THE STORAGE CONTAINERS THAT WILL BE WITHIN THAT 4900 SQUARE FOOT AREA.

ONE OF THE CONTAINERS WILL BE USED FOR LANDSCAPING, MAINTENANCE, LAWN MOWERS, DIFFERENT LAWN MAINTENANCE MATERIAL.

AND THEN THE OTHER WILL BE FOR REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT THAT THEY MIGHT NEED TO SERVICE THE REFRIGERATION UNITS WITHIN THE STORE.

RIGHT. BUT THE APPLICATION SAYS 4900 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR STORAGE, WHICH IS BIGGER THAN THOSE TWO CONTAINERS.

SO THERE MUST BE OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE EXPOSED OUT THERE, I WOULD ASSUME, AND YOU MAY NOT YOU MAY NOT KNOW, SINCE THERE'S NO ONE HERE FROM WAL-MART, BUT IT'S A 4900 SQUARE FEET, A BIG AMOUNT OF SPACE.

I UNDERSTAND. AND I CAN'T SPEAK TO IF THEY INTEND TO STORE ANYTHING ELSE.

PART OF THE AREA, THOUGH, IS SO THAT THEY CAN PULL THE TRUCKS AND TRAILERS WITHIN THAT AREA AS WELL AND LOAD ONTO THOSE.

BUT THE TWO TRAILERS ARE JUST 640 SQUARE FEET.

SO THAT'S WHAT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, JUST A LITTLE OVER 10%.

SO THEN IT'S LIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE REST? I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE A LOT OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE RUBBISH AND TRASH OUT THERE IN THAT AREA.

IT'S PRETTY UNSIGHTLY BACK THERE.

AND I TOOK SOME PICTURES.

I'M NOT GOING TO SHOW THEM, BUT THEY AND WE LOVE WAL-MART AND WE LIKE WHAT THEY DO AND WE LIKE WHAT THEY BRING TO THE COMMUNITY.

THIS APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE BIT OUT OF THE ORDINARY, AND THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THE QUESTIONS, BECAUSE THEY NEED TO THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY.

RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? NO, YOUR HONOR. ALL RIGHT. ANY CORRESPONDENCE? NO, SIR. MR. CHAIRMAN, WE NEED A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I MOVE TO CLOSE.

SECOND. COMMISSION, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING A MOTION FROM THE COUNCIL.

MOVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED ON CU23-01 THAT COMPLETES OUR JOINT PUBLIC MEETINGS.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WILL NOW RECONVENE IN THE MEETING ROOM FOR THE RIGHT.

IT WILL TAKE A FEW MINUTES FOR THEM TO DO THAT AND THEN WE'LL PICK UP WITH CITIZEN COMMENTS.

SOMEBODY FROM WAL-MART SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE.

I THINK THAT'D BE GOOD. TABLE.

IF YOU ALL AGREE TO DO THAT, THAT'D BE FINE WITH ME.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM IS CITIZEN COMMENTS.

[CITIZEN COMMENTS]

ANY PERSON WHO'S NOT SCHEDULED ON THE AGENDA MAY ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL UNDER CITIZEN COMMENTS ON ANY OTHER AGENDA ITEM BY COMPLETING A CITIZEN'S APPEARANCE REQUEST FORM WITH THE CITY SECRETARY, A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC MAY ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA EITHER BEFORE OR DURING THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION OF THE ITEM UPON BEING RECOGNIZED BY THE MAYOR OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND ACCORDANCE WITH THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, THE CITY COUNCIL RESTRICTED AND DISCUSS AND OR TAKE AN ACTION DURING CITIZEN COMMENT.

YOU'LL HAVE 3 MINUTES TO MAKE ANY PRESENTATION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? YES, YOUR HONOR. I HAVE TWO REGISTERED.

THE FIRST IS FROM [INAUDIBLE] P.O.

BOX 2644 GRAPEVINE.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, VARIOUS CITY STAFFERS, GREATER AUDIENCE PRESENT AND VIEWING FROM HOME OR TAPE RECORDING.

MY NAME IS ARA [INAUDIBLE].

I'M A HOMEOWNER AND RESIDENT OF CITY OF GRAPEVINE.

THIS IS BASICALLY A FOLLOW UP JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT I GOT THIS MATTER ON THE RECORD.

[00:15:03]

I'VE ALREADY BOTHERED YOUR INBOXES WITH MY EMAILS.

I APOLOGIZE. I BROUGHT THIS MATTER TO YOUR ATTENTION SOME YEARS BACK.

I JUST RENEWED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO.

THIS IS REGARDING A SPEED LIMIT ON GLADE ROAD.

THAT'S HARDLY EVER BEEN FOLLOWED BY THE TRAVELERS, AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF PLACES THAT HAVE A BLIND SPOT AROUND GLADE AS WELL AS ELSEWHERE IN THE CITY THAT I HAVE DRIVEN.

I SENT YOU GUYS AGAIN SOME PHOTOS RECENTLY, SO THIS IS BASICALLY A RENEWAL OF AN OLD MATTER.

I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HASN'T BEEN TAKEN UP.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

THE CITY COUNCIL IS PART OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT, AND THE WAY I KNOW IT IS THAT IF I WERE TO BRING THIS INDIVIDUAL SUIT AGAINST ANY ONE OF YOU ON YOUR PERSONAL CAPACITY, THE FIRST DEFENSE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO RAISE IS THAT IS SOME KIND OF A GOVERNMENTAL IMMUNITY.

SO IF I BRING A MATTER TO YOUR ATTENTION, I SUPPOSE THAT I BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE.

ON A SIDE NOTE, I HAVE NOTICED NOT JUST IN MY OWN SCENARIO, BUT AS WELL AS OTHER CITIZENS SPEAKING SOME OF THE MEMBERS AND ACROSS ME, WHETHER THEY ARE COUNCIL OR OTHER STAFFERS, THEY PRETEND THEY ARE BUSY AND THEY'RE NOT LISTENING TO THE COMMENT.

I BELIEVE THAT'S VERY DISRESPECTFUL.

YOU MIGHT HAVE A DISAGREEMENT WITH SOMEBODY COMMENT, BUT PRETENDING THAT THESE 3 MINUTES YOU'RE BUSY AND YOU'RE NOT ATTENDING TO THEIR COMMENT, IT'S VERY DISRESPECTFUL.

WITH THAT SAID, I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

I WISH YOU ALL A GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO MAKE THIS OBSERVATION BECAUSE IT OCCURS SO OFTEN IS THE PUBLIC EXPECTS OR THINKS THAT THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL RUNS THE CITY.

THE COUNCIL IS THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD COMPARE TO THE LEGISLATURE AND TO CONGRESS.

AND THEY DON'T SET SPEED LIMITS OR DO STUDIES LIKE THAT.

YOU HAVE STAFF PEOPLE THAT DO.

AND IN A CITY MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT LIKE WE HAVE WITH OUR CHARTER AND GRAPEVINE, THE CITY MANAGER RUNS THE CITY.

AND IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT LIKE THAT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

YOU CAN TALK TO THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS ASSISTANT AND HE HEARS YOU, THE COUNCIL, HEARS YOU, BUT WE'RE LIMITED IN WHAT WE CAN DO.

WE CAN ASK THE CITY MANAGER TO LOOK INTO IT IN RESPONSE.

WE HAVE 600 AND SOMETHING PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR THE CITY, THAT DO THINGS THAT MAKE THESE DECISIONS.

BUT TO SAY THE COUNCIL OUGHT TO GET INVOLVED THEMSELVES.

THEY'RE LIMITED IN WHAT THEY CAN DO UNDER A CITY MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

IT'S JUST A COMMON MISCONCEPTION.

PEOPLE THINK THE MAYOR HAS THE SAME POWERS AS THE GOVERNOR AND THE PRESIDENT, AND HE DOESN'T.

THEY THINK THE COUNCIL HAS THE SAME POWER AND THEY DON'T.

SO WE HAVE TO WORK WITHIN THE CHARTER AND THE KIND OF GOVERNMENT WE HAVE ON A LOCAL BASIS.

SO, MR. RUMBELOW, YOU'VE HEARD THAT I ASSUME YOU'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEY'VE BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS IN THOSE LOCATIONS OR WHAT THE VALIDITY IS, BUT YOU MIGHT FOLLOW UP.

I CERTAINLY WE HAVE AND WILL.

YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE SOMEONE ELSE? YES, SIR. YOUR HONOR. ELIZABETH D KAUFMAN, 1210 KILLARNEY STREET IN GRAPEVINE.

GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU AS OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES.

I'M BRINGING ANOTHER TRAFFIC MATTER TO YOUR ATTENTION.

MYSELF AND QUITE A FEW OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE COME TONIGHT ARE HAVING TO LISTEN TO AND EXPERIENCE SPEEDERS AND NOISY CARS ON DOVE ROAD, DOVE LOOP ROAD, OAK GROVE PARK, KATIE'S WOODS.

AND WHEN WE HAVE CALLED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD ON FEBRUARY 11TH, AFTER THREE OR FOUR OF MY NEIGHBORS HAD ALREADY FOUND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THAT.

HOWEVER, THAT'S NOT CORRECT.

THESE PEOPLE ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY ORDINANCES 1288, NOISE 1614, PARK CLOSURE HOURS 1295 . REFUSE AND BEER CANS WHICH I PICK UP ALMOST EVERY DAY IN OAK GROVE PARK.

1655 ALCOHOL PROHIBITED WITHIN 15 FEET OF PARK ROADS.

I WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH SOMEBODY OR TALK TO SOMEBODY WHO CAN STOP THESE PEOPLE FROM RACING UP AND DOWN DOVE ROAD, DOVE LOOP ROAD AND THROUGH OUR PARKS AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO SEE A SOBRIETY CHECK ON SOME OF THE MAJOR ROADS, AT LEAST DURING THE SPRING BREAK TIMES WHEN I KNOW THE TRASH GETS

[00:20:03]

REALLY BAD AND THE TRASH IS ALMOST ALWAYS ALCOHOLIC CANS.

OUR PARKS HAVE A POSTED CLOSURE OF 10 P.M.

AT NIGHT. IF THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO PUT GATES UP ON THE PARK ROADS, I AM ALL FOR IT.

POSSIBLY SPEED BUMPS IN THE PARKS.

I KNOW THE PEOPLE WITH BOAT TRAILERS REALLY DON'T LIKE THAT.

THEY ARE AT LAKEWAY PARK AND THEY SEEM TO BE DOING A GOOD JOB THERE.

ANYWAY, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU, TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION.

AND IF THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT CAN TALK TO ME OR MEET WITH ME, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

IF AGAIN, IF DOES THE CITY SECRETARY HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND INFORMATION? BECAUSE THE POLICE CHIEF AND I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE HERE THIS EVENING AND COME UP WITH A PLAN TO DEAL WITH THAT.

I KNOW THAT WE HAVE, THAT THAT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE RECENTLY.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE DO THAT BEFORE WE GET TO THE END OF THE TO THE WEEKEND.

SO, AGAIN, IF SHE'S GOT YOUR PHONE NUMBER, WE'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW.

AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO BRING ANYBODY WHO'S CONCERNED TO THAT MEETING AND WE'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE AND WE'LL RESOLVE THIS, MA'AM.

THAT'D BE TERRIFIC.

YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I MIGHT ADD THIS THROUGH THE YEARS IT'S BEEN MY OPINION.

I CAN JUDGE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BY THE COMPLAINTS THAT I GET.

I'VE GONE MONTHS AND HAVEN'T GOTTEN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

I'VE HAD THREE IN THE LAST WEEK.

AND SO PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT'S COMMUNICATING WITH THE CITIZENS.

THEY NEED TO CORRECT THAT.

IF IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE CHIEF, THEY NEED TO ASSIGN SOMEBODY.

IF SOMEBODY CALLS WITH A COMPLAINT OR HAS GOT AN ISSUE, SOMEBODY NEEDS TO SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH THEM.

RATHER THEY CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR THEM OR NOT, THEY NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.

UNDERSTOOD. YES, SIR. YOU KNOW, SINCE COVID, PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO TALK, THEY DON'T WANT TO COMMUNICATE, THEY DON'T WANT TO RESPOND TO PEOPLE.

AS A CITY, WE'VE GOT TO DO BETTER.

ALL RIGHT. SO SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT.

CERTAINLY. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? NO.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

NEXT WOULD BE ITEM SIX AND SEVEN.

[Items 6 & 7]

THE CITY COUNCIL WILL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC INPUT RELATIVE TO THE PROPOSED 49TH YEAR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM, STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM.

SO THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN FOR THAT PURPOSE.

AND BRIAN BECK, WHO'S OUR DEPARTMENT HEAD, WILL MAKE SOME OPENING COMMENTS.

WELL, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

ITEM SIX AND SEVEN BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER THE APPLICATION FOR THE 49TH YEAR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT SUBMITTAL TO TARRANT COUNTY. THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE 700 BLOCK OF FORREST STREET AND THE 1200 BLOCK OF LIPSCOMB STREET IMMEDIATELY WEST OF LUCAS DRIVE.

THIS PROJECT IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO 13 EXISTING RESIDENTIAL HOMES, AS WELL AS A MOBILE HOME PARK.

THE PROJECT WILL INCLUDE RECONSTRUCTING 870 LINEAR FEET OF 30 FOOT WIDE FACE TO FACE ASPHALT ROAD WITH CONCRETE, CARBON GUTTER SIDEWALKS, DRIVE APPROACHES, DRAINAGE INLETS AS WELL AS NEEDED SANITARY SEWER AND WATER IMPROVEMENTS.

THERE'S ALSO A PROPOSED SMALL TURNAROUND TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE END OF THE STREET TO AID VEHICLES MANEUVERING AT THE END OF THE EXISTING DEAD END.

THE ANTICIPATED COST OF THE PROJECT WITH ENGINEERING IS 1,322,500.

OF THIS TOTAL, WE EXPECT 175,000 TO BE FUNDED THROUGH THE CDBG PROGRAM.

ENGINEERING COSTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT 170,000, WITH THE CITY NEEDING TO FUND ALL COSTS THAT EXCEED THIS AMOUNT OF THE GRANT FUND.

WE ESTIMATE THE CITY MATCHING FUNDS WILL WILL BE 1,147,500 AND ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN LATER THIS YEAR.

THE AWARD OF THE CDBG CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU FOR CONCURRENCE PRIOR TO AWARD.

CITY FUNDING WILL BE A COMBINATION OF CAPITAL STREET AND UTILITY ENTERPRISE FUNDING, AND WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ALL RIGHT. MY ONLY QUESTION IS, IS A 30 FOOT ROADWAY OUR LEGAL WIDTH FIR A STREET? THAT'S A STANDARD LOCAL STREET.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. OKAY.

AREA IDENTIFIED FROM THAT STUDY THAT YOU DID A FEW YEARS AGO.

NO, SIR. THIS IS THE PROGRAM THAT COMES OUT OF THE CENSUS.

AND SO IT'S INCOME DRIVEN CENSUS BLOCK GRANTS.

OKAY. SO HOW DID THESE TWO STREETS GET CHOSEN? I THINK THEY'RE CHOSEN IN COMBINATION WITH THE STAFF OF THE CITY AND OF THE COUNTY.

BUT IS GRAPEVINE IS PROSPERED.

THE CENSUS BLOCKS THAT MEET THOSE LOWER INCOME THRESHOLDS ARE GOING AWAY.

[00:25:01]

SO AREN'T THE AREN'T THE COUNTY PARTICIPATION RATES FOR THESE BLOCK GRANTS USUALLY HIGHER THAN THIS? I MEAN, IT APPEARS TO BE THAT THEY'RE PAYING 175,000 OUT OF 1,300,000.

SO THEIR PARTICIPATION IS ONLY ABOUT 15% OF THE TOTAL.

RIGHT? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION AND ONE I WISH YOU WOULD NOT HAVE ASKED.

WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, THE COUNTY PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM WAS HIGHER.

ALSO, WE DID SOME PROJECTS THAT WERE NOT QUITE AS LARGE AS THIS.

SO YOU BRING TO BEAR THE FUNDING FOR THE STREET AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE CITY HAS CHOSEN UNDER THAT STREET TO REPLACE THE WATER AND THE SEWER LINES AND OTHERS.

AND SO IT IT IT GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU'RE REALLY DILUTING THE PROGRAM.

BUT WE'VE JUST USING THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REPLACE SOME OLD INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IT'D BE BETTER TO HAVE DONE BEFORE THE STREET GETS FIXED.

SO YOU'RE ENHANCING WHAT THE GRANT IS FOR? YES, MA'AM. SO AS FAR AS THE ACTUAL GRANT, ASIDE FROM THE ADD ONS THAT YOU'RE DOING WHILE IT IS UNDERWAY, WHAT KIND OF PARTICIPATION RATE IS THE COUNTY? YES, SIR. IT'S BEEN REASONABLY CONSISTENTLY, I CAN THINK OF TO MAYBE THE 46 PROGRAM.

I THINK THAT IT WAS A $450,000 PROJECT AND THE COUNTY, HAD 200 OR 225,000, SO IT WAS CLOSER TO 50/50.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? NO ONE SIGNED UP, SIR. DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE? USING LIPSCOMB AND FORREST STREET AS THE TARGET FOR OUR BLOCK GRANT.

APPARENTLY NOT. SO A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING IS IN ORDER.

MOVE TO CLOSE. SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

WE'LL NOW CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE STAFF TO PROCEED WITH THE APPLICATION.

I MOVE WE AUTHORIZE THE STAFF TO PROCEED AND APPROVE THE PROJECT.

SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? IF NOT, ALL IN FAVOR.

ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU, RON.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM EIGHT CONSIDER RATIFICATION OF A PREDESIGN AND DESIGN SCOPE CONTRACT FOR THE GRAPEVINE SERVICE CENTER UPGRADES.

[8. Consider ratification of a pre-design and design scope contract for the Grapevine Service Center upgrades with Brown Reynolds and Watford Architects, and take any necessary action.]

WITH BROWN REYNOLDS AND WALFORD ARCHITECTS.

MR. BRIAN BECK AGAIN.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

ITEM EIGHT BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS TO RATIFY STAFF'S EXECUTION OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BROWN REYNOLDS WATFORD ARCHITECTS.

THIS IS THE FIRM THAT WE USED IN OUR RECENT BOND PROGRAM FOR THE DESIGN OF FIRE STATIONS ONE THROUGH FOUR.

AS YOU KNOW, THE TORNADO OF DECEMBER 13TH LAST YEAR CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE CITY'S MAIN SERVICE CENTER.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS FROM BOTH THE CITY AND TRAVELERS HAVE DETERMINED THE SHELL OF THE BUILDING IS STRUCTURALLY SOUND.

HOWEVER, THE ENTIRE ROOF MUST BE REPLACED, AND THAT IS OUR KEY FOCUS AT THIS TIME.

WE EXPECT TO HAVE THE NEW ROOF ON BY THE END OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR.

MUCH OF THE INTERIOR SPACE IS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR BY WIND AND RAIN ENTERING THE BUILDING.

WE ARE MEETING WITH ALL WORK GROUPS THAT OCCUPY THE SERVICE CENTER TO MAKE SURE WHAT GETS BUILT BACK MEETS OUR CURRENT NEEDS.

I WOULD NOTE THAT UPGRADING THE BUILDING TO THE CURRENT BUILDING CODES SUCH AS ADA COMPLIANCE AND INSULATION REQUIREMENTS WILL BE PART OF THE INSURANCE CLAIM.

WE DO EXPECT THERE WILL BE SOME BETTERMENT COST BEYOND THE INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENTS FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.

SOME OF THOSE COSTS WILL LIKELY INCLUDE A HARDENED SPACE FOR STAFF IN THE EVENT OF ANOTHER SUCH STORM TRAINING, KITCHEN AND BREAKROOM SPACE.

IN ADDITION, WE WILL PRESENT ENHANCED RESTROOM AND SHOWER FACILITIES TO GO WITH A PROPOSED BUNK ROOM TO ALLOW US TO HOUSE EMERGENCY WORKERS DURING WINTER WEATHER EVENTS.

AS THOSE IMPROVEMENTS AND COSTS ARE IDENTIFIED, STAFF WILL BRING THOSE FORWARD TO THE FACILITY COMMITTEE AND THE FULL COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION.

WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A BAD OPPORTUNITY WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BUILDING.

BUT IT'S IT'S AN OLD BUILDING.

IT NEEDED SOME IMPROVEMENTS.

SO THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.

SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH.

BRIAN, HOW HOW DOES THIS FALL IN LINE WITH WHAT YOU EXPECTED AS FAR AS BUDGETING AND PRICING, HOW IT CAME BACK, HOW'S IT LOOK COMPARED TO WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN QUITE THAT FAR YET. SO WE WE RETAIN THE ARCHITECTS AT THE END OF DECEMBER OVER THE HOLIDAY.

WE NEEDED TO GET THEM ON BOARD SO WE COULD GET A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER WORKING ON THE ROOF REPAIRS THERE.

THE SHELL OF THE BUILDING IS IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT THE WINDS DID TWIST SOME OF THE ROOFING UNDERLAYMENT.

SO IT'S NOT JUST THAT THE ROOF ITSELF CAME OFF, IT'S THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENT.

SO I DON'T HAVE A GOOD ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION YET.

I DO THINK THAT THE BULK OF THE ROOF ITSELF WILL BE PART OF THE INSURANCE CLAIM.

IT WILL BE THE INTERIOR WALLS THAT ARE RAINED OUT, PUSHED OVER.

[00:30:01]

AND YOU UNDERSTAND.

ANYBODY ELSE MOTION TO APPROVE THEIR SECOND IN DISCUSSION? IF NOT; ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

ITEM NINE CONSIDER A CONTRACT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRYING TO CLARIFIER REPLACEMENT PROJECT WITH ALL TECH ENGINEERING AND TO

[9. Consider a contract for the construction of the Train 2 Clarifier replacement project with Alltech Engineering Corporation, Ordinance No. 2023-007 appropriating the funds, and take any necessary action. ]

CONSIDER ORDINANCE 2023-007 APPROPRIATING THE FUNDS.

MR. BECK. GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

THIS IS MY LAST ITEM. I THINK ITEM NUMBER NINE IS TO AWARD THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, PLANT TRAIN TO CLARIFY REPLACEMENT PROJECT TO ALL TECH ENGINEERING CORP AND TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING THE NEEDED FUNDS.

THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT HAS THREE TRAINS, EACH OF WHICH MAY BE OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY OF THE OTHERS.

A MINIMUM OF TWO TRAINS ARE NEEDED DURING NORMAL OPERATION.

THE TRAIN TWO CLARIFIER, WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1986 AND IS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT.

THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL REPLACE ALL THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS, LEAVING ONLY THE ORIGINAL CONCRETE BASIN WHICH WILL BE REHABILITATED.

THE FLOOR WILL BE GRADED, A CRACKED CEILING, ET CETERA.

BIDS FOR COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSALS WERE OPENED ON FEBRUARY 7TH, 2022, WITH FOUR BIDS RECEIVED.

THE BIDS WERE WEIGHTED BASED ON PRICE 75%.

BIDDERS QUALIFICATIONS 10%.

CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE, 10% SAFETY RECORDS AND LITIGATION HISTORY TWO AND ONE HALF PERCENT AND PROJECT CLOSE OUT ANOTHER TWO AND A HALF PERCENT.

I'LL TAKE ENGINEERING CORP AS RECOMMENDED TO PERFORM THIS WORK AT A COST OF 1,000,940 596 AND HAD AN AGGREGATE SCORE OF 96.5%. FUNDS ARE REQUESTED IN THE AMOUNT OF 2.165597, WHICH INCLUDES A CONTINGENCY AS WELL AS MATERIAL TESTING.

I'LL TAKE AS PERFORMED OTHER WORK FOR THE CITY AT THE PLANT, REPLACING THE ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION AS WELL AS THE TRAIN ONE CLARIFIERS WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS.

WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS.

BRIAN, YOU THINK IT'S GETTING DARKER IN HERE? JUST, YOU KNOW, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S LIKE IT HAPPENED LAST TIME, TOO.

I WAS LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS, LIKE, THE MUSIC STARTING TO PLAY.

YEAH, I HAVE NO QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT PROJECT.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF YOU THOUGHT IT WAS GETTING DARKER IN HERE.

BRIAN, THESE ARE. THESE ARE CAPITAL FUNDS.

THIS IS NOT WEAR AND TEAR OPERATIONAL FUNDS.

THIS IS CAPITAL MONEY THAT'S PAYING FOR THAT.

YES, MA'AM. THAT WOULD BE OUT OF OUR CAPITAL RESERVE FUND FOR THE OVERALL UTILITY.

YOU CAN SEE HERE A PICTURE, I THINK MANY GOLF TAKEN TOURS OF THE PLANTS OVER THE YEARS.

THE CONCRETE BASIN WILL LAST A LONG TIME, BUT THE MECHANICAL PARTS JUST WEAR OUT.

ALL RIGHT. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS THAN THE CONSIDERATION IS IN ORDER.

I'LL MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

ALL IN FAVOR. ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU, MR. BECK. WE'VE GOT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

[22. Conditional Use Permit CU23-01 (Walmart) – Consider the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Ordinance No. 2023-009, if applicable, and take any necessary action. ]

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE ONE ITEM.

YES, SIR. JUST A QUICK EXPLANATION.

WE FOUND OUT SOME OTHER INFORMATION IN OUR MEETING, MICKEY HICKS, WHO IS THE GENERAL MANAGER FOR THE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS AT WAL MART, JOINED US. AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS IN REGARD TO THIS CASE AND FOUND OUT PART OF THE REASON YOU ASK ABOUT THE CONTAINERS OUT THERE THAT HE WAS HERE EARLIER AND ASKING YOU TO GET A PERMIT TO DO THAT, HE WAS GIVEN A PERMIT.

HE PUT CONTAINERS AND A FENCE UP.

THEY FOUND OUT LATER THAT THAT WASN'T CORRECT.

HE HAD TO DO THIS PROCESS.

AND SO THEY TOOK THE FENCE DOWN.

BUT THE CONTAINERS ARE STILL THERE.

SO THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THE CONTAINERS EXIST.

AND HE ASSURED US THAT THE ONLY THING OUTSIDE STORAGE WAS WOULD BE IN REGARD TO LANDSCAPE, THINGS LIKE MULCH ON PALLETS AND SO FORTH, AND THERE WOULDN'T BE ANYTHING ELSE OUT THERE AND THAT THE TRUCK WAS NOT LIKE THE DESCRIPTION IN THE PLAN, IT'S NOT A BOX TRUCK THAT WOULD BE PICKUPS WITH FLATBED TRAILERS LIKE NORMAL LANDSCAPE GROUPS USE.

AND SO WE WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND THINGS AND WE VOTED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST WITH THE CONDITION THAT NOTHING COULD EXCEED OR EXTEND OVER THE EIGHT FOOT FENCE IN THE BACK AND THAT IT WAS ALL RESTRICTED TO LANDSCAPE AND MAINTENANCE MATERIAL AND SO FORTH.

AND ON THE OUTSIDE IT COULD BE PUT ON PALLETS AND THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY RACKS OUT THERE TO ELEVATE THOSE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
