Councilmember Ledbetter aksed if there would be a sidewalk. EV yes Councilmember VAlentine asked if the parking ratio is what we currently require. Richard Rozier, 1801 N. Hampton Road, DeSoto, spoke on behalf of the applicant. DV is it the intent to have the meandering sidewalks - yes; heavily treed, but see a lot of concrete on the site plan RR very open to having trees, DV retail pads - size would allow what type of retail RR 10,000 sq ft pad would allow for a restaurant - along the lines of a Denny's, smaller retailer or office or possible medical use like imaging center or durable goods DV along Belt Line are 10,000 and 8,000 along Westmoreland SR how does a 10,000 site compare to Walgreen's RR bldg 15,000 - the bank next door is about 10,000 SR assisted living has 400 beds/rooms; independent 330-350 -- what would be the staffing requirements for the operation of these facilities RR unsure of those numbers SR good population density CW independent living - all units open to the inside? RR all unites open to the inside CW what is the plan for landscaping for the natural barrier and tree line along the creek RR help preserve as much as possible, cleaning it up, but use the natural buffer in lieu of masonry wall CW have traffic implications been studied TJ when reviewed the plan, mentioned to developer that there will be a lot of traffic, but state will regulate how many drives they can have off Belt Line BW CS topography creates interesting scenic views - trail would wrap around west and north - residents could walk to retail next door -- dense population is always a good thing PL how would this type of development affect drainage TJ treat the development as a whole and would have to put in a detention pond or two DV clarified - what would we expect when get to the final details EV when ready to come back, bring detailed site plan with landscaping with elevations DV issues like parking and detention ponds would be worked out

Motion to close Public Hearing Moved by Mayor Pro Tem Sherman, seconded by Councilmember Williams.

Vote to close Public Hearing (Approved)

CS - DV made a good point regarding fast food
DV remember from P&Z the previous plan for this property that did call for a lot of retail - topography did prove to be challenging - with the need for assisted living and independent living afacilities for adults, this is a good way to address these issues -- like that assisted and independent living are grouped together -- Cedar Hill also has this concept -- like the idea of using this property to bring density to address this age group -- would like to see more trees on the plan -- will lend itself to getting the type of retail out front that naturally goes with this type of population -- do like the idea of using this particular lot for this type of purpose

BW as we do things - have to look at the piece of property and look at topography - really have to evaluate each piece --

CW concept is a good one for a number of reasons - population, interested to see the details to see the traffic issue and trees and how to fit this in the topography - see no reason to not embrace this concept

Ms. Hallmark read the Ordinance caption into the public record.
